Collins The Girardian of 1959-60 was a maga 2 ine distinguished by varied and interesting material which was the product of the persistent effort and capable judgment of Bruce Singer and Emanuel Sheitelman, co-editors. Published contributions included poems, short stories, familiar essays, expository articles, and the prize-winning speech of the Voice of Democracy” contest. Michael Messina served as the printing advisor. Under the instruction of Mr. M. Arnold Daffin and with the help of the boys in the print shop, he supervised the layout and printing of the magazine- Daniel Ferro and Joseph Frigiola did the excellent art work on the cover and the illustrations for the articles. Their work added very much to the appeal of the publication to the Girard family. The actual published material is less important than the opportunity which is open to our potential authors and poets to find written expression for their ideas. For each page that is printed there are ap¬ proximately ten contributed. Competition for public recognition in this activity is strong. It is also a medium by which the minds of our students can portray the beliefs which have been created by their observations of life. Our faculty advisors, Mr. Thomas Malim for the winter edition and Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor for the spring edition have earned our appreciation for their patience and energetic work. A 17

Minemier During the fall of 1959 the Dramatic Club presented no plays but contributed its work to the Christ¬ mas Pageant. In the spring of I960 two plays, Love of One’s Neighbor by Lenoid Andreyev and A Fine Cutting Edge by Robert Dozier were given and enthusiastically received. Love of One’s Neighbor is a satire in which the author seeks to expose the hypocrisy of those in¬ dividuals who rarely experience genuine sympathy for the suffering of others. Wesley Teasdale, Michael Quinn, Sterling Gedraitis, Edward DiRomaldo and Albert Bullock played the leading roles. Miss Stacks did a wonderful job as the independent woman. A Fine Cuttin g Edge portrayed the clashing of personalities of a wealthy army recruit and a bellow¬ ing domineering sergeant. Walter Grey played the recruit, Private Gillis, and Joseph Frigiola played Sergeant Debbs. Supporting members of the cast were Duke Devlin, Bruce Seaman, Max Page, Richard Adams, David Paulson, and John Houghton. Officers for the year were Joseph Frigiola, President, Rocco D’Amico, Vice-President, Walter Grey. Secretary, and William Evans, Treasurer. To Mr. Andrews we express our thanks and appreciation for all he has done for us. A Rehearsal 4 16 ►

Corinthian Front Row, left to right-. R. D’Amico, Mr. MacGregor, L. Michaluk Second Row. M. Page, P. Shoemaker, A. Garfein, A. Fiore, G. Vurlicers Third Row: S. Gedraitis, E. Sheitelman, M. Caplan, J. Johnson, D. Devlin, J. Frigiola When we were chosen to be the editors of your Corinthian, we set out to produce a book to which you can turn for memories of the people you met, the things you did, the places where you lived, and the classmates to whom you have been pemanently linked. We felt that to do this, it would be necessary to add a section, which is completely strange to the Corinthian. The division of this book entitled From West to East” is the offspring of this idea. Our first requirement was to find a competent staff. In this we were fortunate. Our writers, Myron Caplan, Arthur Garfein, Sterling Gedraitis, Judd Johnson, and Peter Shoe¬ maker have worked untiringly and capably. The art work done by Joseph Frigiola is something of which we can be proud. Duke Devlin and Ginters Vurlicers took all the photographs which grace the pages of this book. Anthony Fiore and the students of the Print Shop set up and printed the finished product. The detailed tasks of typing and scheduling pictures were left to the skills of our Business Manager, Emanuel Sheitelman, and his assistant, Max Page. To all of these boys we would like to extend our heartiest thanks for the energetic assistance they pro¬ vided in creating the Corinthian. Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor advised in the planning, writing, and photography. The experience, knowledge, and perseverence of Mr. M. Arnold Daffin were boons in the setting up and printing of the CORINTHIAN. His insistance on perfection was an inspiration for all those who worked with him. Qur work is now completed. With the help of our staff and sponsors we hope we have produced an interesting yearbook. In the years to come, when you open your CORINTHIAN, and leaf through it, we hope that you will find in its pages the spirit of the Class of I960 and its years in Girard College. 4 18 b
