Photography Club The Photography Club, conspicuous for its lack of public recognition, was a vitally important cog in the machinery of our publications. A few of its mem¬ bers forfeited much of their free time in order that they might provide the pictures for the numerous campus publications. This included all sports and team pictures, social events, and staff pictures, all of which appeared either in The Girard News or in this issue of The Corinthian. The Club was led by President William Evans, Vice President Christopher Leithiser, and Secretary- Treasurer Paul Shoemaker. Together these boys helped many new members learn the techniques and appreciation of good photography. The members would also like to express their thanks to Mr. Perley H. Pease who gave much assistance and advice as the faculty sponsor. The class would like to express its sincere appre¬ ciation to these boys whose efforts have done so very much to improve Girard and its publications. Sitting, left to right: D. Marsce, F. Firlein, W.

This year’s at¬ tendance was comprised of eighteen Seniors and ap¬ proximately thirty Junior members, all of whom were under the sponsorship of Mr. Elmer Sutton. Mr. Sutton added another day to the previous one- day practice. This improved schedule allowed the Seniors and Juniors each to have a full afternoon of practice. When the team first gathered, the following officers were elected: Joseph Bruno, President; Kit Leithiser, Vice President; Dominic Cermele, Senior Range Officer; and Lynn Avis, Secretary-Treasurer. Because the Postal Matches were discontinued this year, no real competition was offered the team; however, the boys did shoot to gain awards from the National Rifle Association. The Club members thoroughly enjoyed the season and hope that Mr. Sutton and the class of ’60 have the satisfaction and pleasure that this class had on the target range. 19 y

Vennel his year the staff of WGC faced a tremendous challenge — to live up to the fine standards set last year by the Class of 1958, a challenge that everyone will agree was met with success. Each Monday morning the listening audience of Juniors and Seniors left the auditorium feeling a little more invigorated after hearing a fine, humorous, well-balanced delivery of news, weather, views, and music. Heading the staff were Director of Writers, Art Ambrush and Assistant Director, Mike Sedlock, who did a fine job of assembling and editing scripts for the Monday and Thursday morning shows. Assisting them were David Sharp, William Walker, Charles Weiss, Charles Vennel, James McDevitt, Charles Koennecker, Carl Swenlin, Robert Fark, Donald Marsee, Francis Gallagher, and John Hamilton. Supporting the Head Announcer, Angelo Rosati, were Tom Baggio, Charles Farrell, Walter Green, Frederick Firlein, Robert Fisher, Thomas Flanagan, Carlo Muzi, Alan Shuss, Charles Vennel, Hugh Carpenter, James Falciani, and Ray Frey. WGC-FM, a program introduced by the Class of 1958, maintained its high rating as a medium for classical music. Angelo Rosati and Tom Flanagan alternated as FM announcers every Thursday morning. Mr. Henry V. Andrews deserves much of the credit, because the suc¬ cess of the program may be traced to the hours of work he contributed to perfecting each show. Everyone associated with WGC can look back on the year with a satisfaction of a job well done. 0,1 l c rl On the Air! A 18 )

Andrews J ) presented Christmas for Girardians, in which Hugh Carpenter played the lead role of a Girard alumnus who relives several poignant scenes of his youth. In the spring of 1959 two contrasting plays were produced: In the Zone by Eugene O’Neill and The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife by Anatole France. In O’Neill’s maritime drama John Nolan, Jim Falciani, Dominic Cermele, and Tony Schiavo starred as members of the crew. Angelo Rosati won his audience as a magistrate — the husband of the dumb wife” which was played by Linda Silversein of Girls’ High. Bob Fisher and Alan Shuss contributed fine support. In last spring’s memorable production of the famous Stalag 17, Angelo Rosati, Thomas Baggio, Alan Shuss, Hugh Carpenter, Chester Basher, Charles Freed, and Carl Swenlin represented the present senior class. Elected as officers were: Angelo Rosati, President; Carl Swenlin, Vice-President; Alan Shuss, Secretary; and David Sharp, Treasurer. The members of the club are grateful to Mr. Andrews for the very worthwhile and enjoyable experience they gained from their work with him. 20 ]
