Powers The editors and staff of this Corinthian have created a year book which they hope will in future years bring back to each of us the memories of our years together and particularly our final year in Allen Hall. We have humbly dedicated our book to Mr. John C. Donecker and to Mr. John D. Myers, both of whom have devoted their lives to the well-being and education of Girardians. We shall al¬ ways remember them. Our advisor Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor has exerted the constant presure which has kept our work in motion. Mr. Arnold Daffin and his students in the Print Shop have been tireless in setting up copy and working with us. To both these men we express our thanks for all they have done. The staff has been conscientious and cooperative. William Casey and Joseph Marcino have served as photographers. Our writers were Carl Davies, Guy Anhorn, John Gale, Charles Try, Raymond Starzmann, and Richard Murray. The lettering was done by Noel Perry. Richard Powers, Joel Dempsey, Ronald Smeltzer, and Louis Cocco, our printers and layout men, have done an excellent job in their department. Ed Kimmel and David Buys have faithfully done the legwork in dealing with the photo¬ engravers. In brief this publication, the cooperative result of the ef¬ forts of many people is evidence of a job well done. We hope you enjoy it. Girard has armed you well, my friends, For the fight beyond the gates. Depart, and let us stand as men Who’ll grapple with the Fates. —Edward S. Fisher, ’48 10 b

Conservation Cluli First Row: Left to Right, A. Hart, M. Brown, C. Try, J. Gale, M. Ahlum Second Row: J. Silverman, F. Shiffer, C. Pardue, R. Dever, D. Smith, J. Dempsey, Mr. Henry F. Mazaleski This year heralded the birth of a new club here at Girard, the Girard College Conservation Club. It was founded through the efforts of two boys, John S. Gale and Charles E. Try. These two boys set out and laid the groundwork by drawing up a constitution and obtaining a room for the club headquarters The club they designed enabled boys who are sincerely interested in conservation to meet and discuss this activity, and thus foster its growth. It also initiated a big step towards a better apprecia¬ tion of the Girard campus and of nature in general. This, along with the realization of conserva¬ tion’s utmost importance for the survival of our great nation, provided the foundation for the club. Mr. Henry Mazaleski, the club’s sponsor, provided the much-needed adult leadership for the organization. Another great help was Mr. George Dunkle, whose advice was invaluable. Without the assistance of these two men, the club would not have been able to make the remarkable progress that it did. The club’s membership is set at twenty. To become a member a boy must have a sincere inter¬ est in conservation before he is inducted. Some of the Senior members of this new club are Try, Gale, Brown, Dempsey, and Shiffer. It is the true interest of these boys which constitutes the roots of the Conservation Club. Following a general study and discussion in all phases of conservation, the club endeavors to put its knowledge to work. This is done through worthwhile projects such as planting trees, pro¬ ducing cover for wildlife, and the identification of all the trees on the campus. By doing these pro¬ jects, the club hopes to fulfill its motto of Learning and application’’ and establish in the minds of its members, the need for conservation and its importance in our everyday lives.
