Highl of Our Senior Year The highlight of our senior year was, of course, the Washington Trip, February 17, I960. Many of us saw for the first time the sights which here¬ tofore we had known only in pictures. We saw the government at work in the Senate Office Building, the White House, the National Archives Building, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Building, and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. We saw the memorials to our greatest Americans: the Wash¬ ington Monument, the Jefferscn and Lincoln Memorials, and the Arlington National Cemetery. When we returned on Friday afternoon, we had enjoyed a wonderful experience and a rewarding trip. There were other memorable events during the year: the White Supper, the Christmas Concert, the Talent Show, and the concerts by bands and glee clubs from visiting schools. The White Supper and Christmas Concert gave our final Christmas at Girard a deeper meaning. The Talent Show added color to our daily round The school concerts presented by the Har- riton High School Orchestra, and the Upper Darby High School Concert Choir were thoroughly enjoyed. 9 ►

Allen Hall Front Row, left to right: Mr. and Mrs. Perley H. Pease, Mr. Richard Stewart Second Row: Dr. William F. Zeil, Dr. James D. White, Mr. John A. Lander Our move to Allen Hall in September of 1959, constituted the last and greatest step in our move From West to East.” Here the burden of leading all the school sports, and heading every school ac¬ tivity fell on our shoulders. Here, too, the final step in the growth of the individual was completed, as the degree of freedom which was ours in Allen taught us to meet the problems of every-day life. Allen Hall meant that we were treated as individ¬ uals of mature intelligence. It also meant town, no-pass, dating privileges. These new responsibilities and privileges, added to the new way of life in private rooms, produced a building alive with hustle, merriment, and hard work. This spirit which suddenly seemed to burgeon in Allen Hall can also be attributed to our realiza¬ tion, that upon the completion of this final year, we would have to take our place in the world, for which our many years in moving From West to East” had prepared us. 4 8 ►
