Dear Class of 1966: You are leaving Girard, a giant step in your lives. We are sorry to see you go, for we have been a part of your growing. We are, however, glad that you have completed your work here. The purpose of an education is to make an art of life, to overcome selfishness and self centeredness, and to avoid the homogenized mediocrity which tells you to play it smart.” We hope that we have given you the beginnings of this education. You must, if your lives are to be full and significant, pursue it tenaciously; you must use it courageously. You will hear again and again those who cry out for, Freedom,” but if you listen carefully, you will seldom hear a demand for responsibility. We pray that we have taught you that one does not exist without the other. Freedom is nourished by responsibility and dies without it. Do not be deceived; seek only the substance of freedom, and this seeking will give your lives deep purpose. May God guide you in the years ahead. Sincerely, da i ' JzLL S, y ac X£.cjOX 8 V ian First Row, Left to Right: T. Stocker, Mr. Caswell E. MacGregor, R. Strickland Second Row, Left to Right : C. Jewell, D. Semple, M. Maiale. N. Smith, D.

Few people realize the amount of time and effort required to create the annual Corinthian. This formidable task for the Class of 1966 was given to Richard Strickland, who was ably assisted by Mr. MacGregor and Mr. Daffin. This publication is uniquely ours more so than the yearbooks of other schools. Not only does it depict the facets of our years and lives at Girard, but the fact that the layout, the pho¬ tography, the writing, and the printing are the result of our work, gives it a Hum feeling and meaning. The seniors in the Print Shop, Domenick Mallace, Howard Ryder, Kenneth Jacob¬ sen, Kenneth Scalella, Elmer Ingram, and Theodore Holod have done nearly all of the actual physical printing of this book, with Mr. Daffin as their firm mentor. The photography was handled by James G. Gallagher and Dennis McCoy. Until you have tried to assemble a total group of people in a given place at a given time, you will not realize how much they have done. Well, it is all here in these pages—the days, the places, the people and the action that have made up the good years that we have lived at Girard. We hope that as time goes by, you will come back to his book to relive these wonder¬ ful years, that you relive the hour when you starred on the soccer team, gave the graduation speech, created an issue of the News or played an important part in the Christmas Concert. -{ 10 Y First Row, Left to Right: T.

The Girard News has a long history of excellent journalism which has been upheld by the Class of 1966. It has been a consistent award-winner in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association annual competition, frequently competing with schools much larger in popula¬ tion than Girard. Thomas Davies and David Semple, as the editors, have worked devotedly to maintain this exemplary quality. Mr. M. Arnold Daffin has continued as the sponsor. Printing advisors re¬ sponsible for layout and printing are Elmer Ingram and Theodore Holod. Dennis McCoy and Robert Ayjian have done commendable work in photography, and Domenick Mallace effec¬ tively fulfilled the position of Business Manager. The traditional Allenite” and Junior Highlights”, from the pens of Richard Strickland and Jeffrey Thomason, have been very popular reading. Sports coverage was managed and ed- ted by James Kopp. Kenneth Scalella and Kenneth Jacob¬ sen, as distribution managers took care of circulation. We feel that the News this year has been a credit to the school and a worthwhile experience in journalism, par¬ ticularly because of the objective thoroughness with which campus news has been reported. From this point of view to be on the staff of the News in one of the most valuable experiences in our Girard career. We wish particularly to thank Mr. M. Arnold Daffin for his patience and energy in making all this possible. i n y VUQC First Row, Left to Right: T. Bennett, Mr. Henry V. Andrews, T. Davies Second Row, Left to Right: R. Strickland J.

Andrews introduced into Girard life a new medium of amusement and communication in the form of a radio program. This came to be known as WGC-AM. It has through the years started a goodly number of boys on to suc¬ cessful professional careers in radio and television. Regularly since that first broadcast, the Monday morning blues have been lightened and brightened by the news and humor and cheerful voi ce of WGC. Mr. Andrews is still its sponsor. WGC-AM is a tradition which we hope will be carried on through another thirty-five years. The writing of the scripts w ' as responsibly handled by Thomas Davies who relied on his reporters Jeff Scholl, George iSchied, James Kopp, Joseph McCullough, and David Semple for the backbone of each week’s copy. Heading the announcing staff was Thomas Bennett, cap¬ ably assisted by Richard Strickland, David Arinsberg, Frank Mastromatteo, Gaetano Mar¬ tini, Hans Aglidian Kenneth Jacobsen, and Walter Poprycz. The members of the staff are grateful to Mr. Andrews for his inspiring guidance in making this a highly successful year for WGC-AM, and are proud of being a part of this tradition. 1 12 y a Tama tic First Row, Left to Right: R.

Ray Fulmer in the weekly TV series Hazel and Russ Johnson in Cilligan s Island, David Semple, Richard Strickland, Thomas Bennett, Thomas Davies, Thomas Stocker, and Morris Goldberg are all part of Mr. Henry V. Andrews’ 40-year family of Dramatic Club members who through the years have produced Hamlet Journey ' s End, Stalag 17, Cyrano deBergerac, Our Town, The Devil and Daniel Webster, and most recently Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol in December. In this David Semple created an excellent portrayal of Scrooge which ranks with the acting of Dramatic Club stars of the past. Enthusiastic audience response attested to the high level of the performance. It is difficult for one to comprehend the tremendous amount of time and energy involved in producing a play of the highest calibre. A special distinction must go to Mr. Andrews, for the Club’s existence depended entirely upon him. We must not forget the fact that it is because of his patience and ceaseless devotion to the boys of the Club, that they were able to produce the Spring plays. These plays, In The Zone,” and The Statue” may be Mr. Andrew’s last, but they will surely be remembered as some of his finest. Officers for the 1965-66 club are: President, David Semple; Vice-President, Thomas Davies; Secretary-Treasurer, Richard Strickland. Under their leadership, and guided by the energetic and never-ending drive of Mr. Andrews, the members feel this was a very worthwhile and successful year. i 13 y Student First Row, Left to Right-.

Steiner, Mr. Harold Holman. The work of the Student Council like the government in any democracy is never-ending. Ambitions and achievements seem always to be separated; purposes and goals are constantly changing. To embody these hopes and to give them a student voice is the prime reason for the existence of the Student Council. The effectiveness of this body depends upon the character of the representative members. Charles Walker, the Student Body President served as President, Dan Jayjock as Vice-President, Dennis McCoy as Recording Secretary, and Thomas Davies as Corresponding Secretary. Mr. Harold Holman has continued as the sponsor. By the close of the year, the Council expects to have published the Girard Student Handbook and to have implemented the Student Court. Its best work, however, done by individual members working independently to solve many small but serious problems has been unpublicized. The weekly meetings offer every boy in the school the opportunity to express through his representative any points-of-view or suggestions on the many facets of school life from dances to sports to classes. Under Charles Walker’s leadership this has been a year of definite accomplishment. «{ 14 y tjationaf iIon or _S Societt Left to R gA : M. Goldberg, T. Davies, R. Strickland, C. Walker, W, Poprycz, D. Jayjock, T. Bennett, J. Scholl, Mr. Albert Schoell. To be elected to membership in the National Honor Society is recognition of a very high order. Candidates are carefully judged for acceptance on the basis of their character, their scholarship, their leadership, and their service. Those elected and inducted automatically recieve a national honor and a responsibility, symbolized by a gold pin, and a pledge themselves to uphold the high purpose of the Society.” This is to continue to give their best efforts to be outstanding citizens of their school and their community. Mr. Albert Schoell, who has been the sponsor for many years, has been earnestly assisted by the following officers: President, Thomas Bennett; Vice President, Morris Goldberg; and Secretary- Treasurer, Daniel Jayjock. Newly inducted on April 22 were: Thomas Davies, Wladislaw Poprycz, Jeffrey Scholl, Richard Strickland, and Charles Walker. The speaker at this important occasion was Mr. Harold J. Freeman, ’43 a journalist and public relations executive of wide reputation. Finally, the organization has fufilled its reason for being; it has led the way to development of character in the students of Girard, and has served to focus our thinking on the real meaning of education and fulfillment of responsibility.

Oswald, E.Lentz, D. Burleigh, G. Schicd, J. Kopp. The pleasure of singing and the appreciation of good music are our rewards as members of the Glee Club. The Club’s success this year lies in the enthusiasm and the ceaseless work of Mr. Anthony M. Falatico, the Director of the group, and Mr. Keith R. Chapman, our ac¬ companist. Their work was supported by the firm leadership of the Club officers: James C. Kopp, President; Daniel F. Jayjock, Vice-President; and Ronald DiFuria, Secretary-Treasurer. To maintain the quality of its music the Club membership was reduced. There were only ten seniors who could find the time to participate. The Christmas and Spring Concerts w ' ere, of course, the major events of the year. A high¬ light of the 50th Annual Christmas Concert was the guest appearance of Mr. Fritz Krueger, who presented the Girard audience with selections from Handel’s Messiah.” The choir then gave its usual fine performance by singing a number of songs, including a medley of Christmas Carols entitled Christmas Day,” by Holst. On Friday evening, March 25, the Choir and Band presented the 5 th Annual Spring Concert in the Chapel. A highlight of this concert was a solo performance by Miss Diane Glover who captivated the audience with an aria from Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Keith Chapman also held the audience with an organ solo entitled. I’m Gonna Sing.” Other appearances were at the Valley Forge Memorial Chapel, the Collingswood High School, the Alumni Merit Award Presentation, and the Founder ' s Day celebration. We shall never forget the Sunday Morning proces¬ sions, the endless rehearsals, and the rewarding satisfaction which comes from cooperative accomplishment. It has been a vital part of our lives.

On December 17, 1965, the Concert Band took part in the Annual Christmas Concert. There was something special about the event, though, for it was the 50th anniversary of the Christmas Concert. Since the occasion was quite special to former Girardians who had partici¬ pated in that first concert half a century ago, several who were on hand for the festivities were invited to step up to the stage and take part in the Band ' s performance of The Whistler and His Dog, which most assuredly brought back many fond memories for them. Mr. William E. Focht, Instructor in the Machine Shop at Girard, delighted the audience its he took his place among the ranks of the Band. It was indeed a memorable experience for all. The Concert Band of 1965-66 has typified the musical prowess of bands of dte past. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Robert W. Morrison, the group performed outstandingly in its three major appearances of the year—the Christmas, Spring and Founder’s Day Concerts. The results of the consistent hard work on the part of the members of the band were evident in the mastery of not only the standard concert music, but also in the pieces of music which the Concert Band learned during the year. In addition to the regular concerts, the members had to pre¬ pare for the mondily Saturday morning concerts and the annual excursions to the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens and to Harriton High School. Although the Concert Band consisted of a mere forty- five instruments, their lack of number was more than com¬ pensated for by the quality and selection of the music played. A great deal of success of die Concert Band can be attributed to the hard work of the senior officers, and a general appreciation of music on the part of every member. It was truly a fine year in the field of music for Girard. «{ 17 }. Ri(L CU 1st Row Left to Right: W. Corneluis, L. Samuels, R. Manasek, R. Ward. 2nd Row Left to Right: Mr. Robert E. Baker, G. West, E. McGucken There was not a single Senior member of the Rifle Club, a situation which presages a group of excellent sharpshooters for the coming year. Under the expert sponsorship of Mr. Robert E. Baker, the under classmen took full advantage of this opportunity. Officers of the Club are: Edward McGucken, President; Robert Duckworth,Vice-President; John Duckworth, Secretary; and Lawrence Kazimer, Treasurer. The Club members extend their gratitude to Mr. Baker for his time and effort in making this a significant organization. During the year 1965-1966 Girard sponsored four boys from the Business Department as members of the Junior Adminstrative Management Society. They were: Morris Goldberg, Allen Fisher, James Gallagher, and Dennis McCoy. In the past thirteen years Girard students have been elected to the office of president four times. Morris Goldberg was honored by election to that office. Girard has also had three boys chosen as Secretaries. These boys have certainly strengthened our school’s good name. The Society meets once each month Left to Right: A. Fisher, J. Gallagher, Dr. James D. White various businesses. The meetings have M. Goldberg, D.

Under Cadet Major Daniel Jayjock the Girard Battalion has developed week by week to become an organization which has added luster to Colonel Hamilton’s years of High points of the year were the Competitive Drill, the Founder’s Day exhibition, and the Officer’s Hop, all of which have served to stimulate the members to a sense of unity and satisfaction. In the Competitive Drill Captain Edward Zink led Company A to a strong first place over Company C commanded by Captain Charles Walker, with Company D and B following in that order. Other officers deserving praise are Captain Anthony Mallace, Company B; Captain Kenneth Scalella, Company D; Captain of Recruits, Richard Strickland; Captain Inspector, Mario Maiale; and Captan Quartermaster, George Schied. A large measure of credit must go to Colonel James M. Hamilton and Master Sergeant Matthew M. McMillen who unceasingly demanded our best efforts. We shall remember with satisfaction this proud organization. accomplishment. i 19 b r umor- enior ' eminar First Row, Left to Right-. J. Kopp, D. Mevoli, L. Smicjan, M. Kornfeld, T.

Since its inception in 1959 under the sponsorship of Mr. Benjamin Rothberg, the Junior-Senior Seminar has increasingly played an integral part in the cultural life of Girard College. With the retirement of Mr. Rothberg in 1965, Mrs. Elsie M. McDaniel has effectively taken over the responsibility for carrying on this excellent organization. All the lectures for the 1965-1966 sessions have been stimulating and informative. These discussion and subjects have been interestingly varied. In conjunction with the lectures, the speakers have utilized slides, films, demonstrations and unusual exhibits. Mr. Wister Wood, of the Academy of Fine Arts, had as his subject The History of Painting.” Dr. Samuel Kramer, Curator of the Tablet Collection at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, spoke on Com¬ merce, Law, Medicine and Farming—the Four Firsts of Civilization.” Dr. Shirley Steve, Academic Dean of Harcum Junior College discussed The Future of the Junior Colleges.” There was also a lecture on the History of Science. Dr. Zeil lectured on Some Schools of Contemporary Art.” Certainly it has been a privilege and a pleasure for the members to participate in this activity. We are deeply obligated to Mrs. McDaniel for the energy and time she has devoted to organizing this series of talks. Dr. William F. Zeil, a prominent speaker at a meeting.

Wagner was the sponsor in that first year 1961 and Mr. John Trimble is the sponsor of 1965-1966. Both men have seen their protegees make outstanding contributions to the organization. It offers a realistic and unique opportunity for students to hear national leaders discuss the problems of Vietnam, NATO, Foreign affairs, in brief the struggles and affairs in our world today. It is a project of the represenatives’ study here in Girard into the international arena. Members regularly attend the monthly meetings. Thomas Bennett served very capably on the Steering Committee. Morris Goldberg was a table discussion leader. Thomas Stocker, Douglas Burleigh, Allen Fisher, Jeffrey Scholl, David Arinsberg, Philip Dempsey, Lester Smiejan, and Edward Zink served as delegates to the Model U.N. General As¬ sembly. David Semple and Thomas Stocker attended the press conference with the top ABC News Correspondents. The Girard representatives are grateful to Mr. Trimble for his effective sponsor¬ ship of this worthwhile activity. In a world in which allegiances change overnight, where the names of new coun¬ tries are unknown to many, the World Affairs Council serves the purpose of lead- in our students to a better understanding of world citizenship. «{21 y Left to Right : Dr. James White, Miss Juliet Stacks, Mrs. Anthony Stys, Mr. Anthony Stys. It pleasantly amusing to recall the occasion when we were first herded together by Miss McGhee on the spac¬ ious marble floor of Founder’s Hall as awkward sophomores to meet Mr. Keenan, our dance instructor. His warm per¬ sonality put us at ease and his dancing skills astonished us. Under his firm and enthusiastic teaching we became reason¬ ably graceful and proficient at the Charleston, the box step, the Calypso, and the other steps. Finally, we were pre¬ sented” and exhibited our skills at our first social affair, the Sophomore Coke Party. Since then we have become increasingly assured and mature in Hum social life. We are grateful to our hosts and hostesses Miss Juliet E. Stacks, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony M. Stys, and Dr. James D. White, for their help in making all this possible. We particularly thank Miss Miriam McGhee for the time and energy which she has devoted to making our extra” social occasions a source of good pleasure. In the kind of world where social graces are as essential to eventual success as the skills and hard work we have had, we have been fortunate to have benefited from the advice and teaching of Miss McGhee. We shall learn that she has successfully taught the Girardian to be a gen¬ tleman. i 22 y Front Row, Left to Right: H. Michener, M. Kemp, H. Aglidian, E. Ingram, Mr. George Dunkle, M. Goldberg, A.

The Student Center during the present year has been a vigorous student enterprise. To institute the modernization of the facilities new counters were purchased. In the past there had been a kind of work-it-out policy with no changes made during the year. This was abruptly shattered when Manager Morris Goldberg implemented a Midyear reorganization which he felt to be necessary for greater efficiency. Of course, Founder’s Day and the two Mothers’ Days were high spots in the Center’s year. But it is the day-to-day student buying—ice cream, candy, soda and cookies, which makes the store worthwhile. The operation of the Center is one of the most responsible and demanding activities in Girard. The hours of work are seldom known and the recognition given is far less than the work contributed. The profits also have more meaning to the student body than the students generally realize. The expenses of the dances held during the year and particularly the Canteen dances are paid for by the Center. The Class of 1966 is grateful to Mr. George Dunkle who for many years has contributed his energy and time to make the Hummers’ lives a bit pleasanter through the Student Center offerings. Recently ahtletic and science equipment has been under¬ written by the store. Of course a percentage of the profits goes back into equipment and furnishings for the Center. Finally, students benefit by earning money monthly. i 23 J. photo graph if CU Left to Right: R. Strickland, R. Ajyian, J. Gallagher, T. Wert, Mr. Perley Pease, W. Oswald, H. Babiak, D. McCoy. Without the contribution of the members of the Photography Club in time, energy, and the resulting production, there would be no Corinthian, and the News would be much less inter¬ esting. Their work has been invaluable, and certainly in rhe years to come these pictures will bring the Hum and our classmates clear in our minds. Our yearbook in almost unique in the fact that the writing, the photogaphy, the layout, and the printing are all done by yearbook staff members within the College. Certainly this is an accomplishment of which we can all be proud. The photography is, of course, no small part of this. The officers of the Club were: President, Thomas Stocker; Vice-President, Thomas Davies; Secretary Treasurer, James Gallagher. They developed a well organized activity and a new spirit of accomplishment which improved the reader’s interest in our publications. They have earned our praises. The Club, on behalf of the Class of ’66, sincerely thanks Mr. Perley Pease for the time and work he so generously gave to the members. His expert advice on many phases of photography has stimulated the work of this organization. This is an activity which becomes an increasing benefit to the members sand which will probably be carried ton through life. Shutterbugs are everywhere;at tevery age and the present Club members will always be among them.

These dates will long be remembered as our years in the Hum. The troubles, joys, failures, and successes encountered throughout this span, cannot be forgotten. But the final touch to this good life was our Senior year. Who can forget the first night back and our first Senior Class party; the raucous and fishy tales brought back from the Senior’s favorite resort, Wildwood, New Jersey; the frequent visits to the A; the 1st floor musketeers; the shaving cream battles; the in-crowd;” the boys; and the out-crowd?” Odier unforgettable highlights were Babiak’s home movies, the Baron’s constant feud, and those quiet Saturday nights. But these enjoyable memories could not have come about were it not for the unceasing guidance and help of Dr. William Zeil, Dr. James White. Mr. and Mrs. Pearley Pease, Mr. Gregor Erdenberger, and Mr. Patrick Petrillo. Our big year is drawing to a close and, widi it, our lives at Girard. We, the class of 1966, have tried to live up to the expectations and responsibilities that only a Senior knows. Soon we will be on our own, in a world torn with strife, pestilence, and war. As we step out the gate and into the future, we will forget many things, but never will we forget our lives at Girard. i 25 }■ Front Row, Left to Right: D. Semple, T. Davies, Mr. Patrick Brown, D.

In both areas of the 1965-1966 issue the imagination and ability of the contributors are com¬ mendable. Editor-in-Chief David E. Arinsberg was the focal point of this endeavor ably assisted by Thomas Davies and Morris Goldberg. The artistic talents of David A. Semple, Lester L. Smiejan Mario Maiale, and Domenic Mevoli under the guidance of Dr. William Zeil are evident and laudable in the illustrations. Creation of the layout and make-up work at the Print Shop was in the hands of Elmer Ingram, Howard Ryder, and Kenneth Jacobsen under the direction of Mr. Arnold Daffin. Mr. Patrick Brown, a new member of our English Department, who this year served as the sponsor, has contributed invaluable criticism and has been the source of motivation. Of the articles published Tom Bennett’s essay, Democracy, What It Means to Me,” and Joseph Di Pietro’s Shades of Salem, are excellent pieces of writing. The overall layout is both interesting and well done and a credit to our Print Shop students. To all of those who have been instrumental in the creation of this Girardian we offer our appreciation.

Dear Fellow Girardians: We the Class of 1966 will be leaving soon to take our places in a highly complex society. Our years at Girard have been years of accomplishments, discoveries, set¬ backs, and valuable experiences. As we look back over the past decade, we see clearly w ' here we went wrong, and where we could have tried just a bit harder. We could have studied more conscientiously, played harder on the team, been more con¬ siderate of the people who taught us and served as our guides throughout our lives at Girard. Now as the school year 1966 draws to a close, so does my term as your Student Body President. During the past year I hope that I served you well, for I believe I have tried to do my best for you, for the students, and for Girard. Although we didn’t achieve all of the aims we set last fall, We sincerely tried to make this year successful and fruitful for all. Our Student Council was a hard-working, energetic, progressive organization, which was and will continue to be an essential component of Girard and its way of life. I would like to thank everyone who has been associated with this year’s Council for this sincere effort. For the underclassmen w ' ho have some years left, this advice I leave you: keep your chins up and your tempers down; elect strong honorable officers whom you’ll faithfully follow in times of troubles and accomplishments; respect all people in authority; and, above all, be loyal to yourselves and Girard. Now we must leave, but some part of us will always remain here, at the place where we grew, laughed with classmates, played and shared each other’s sorrows and joys. Let us not forget what Stephen Girard has done for us by his great gener¬ osity. Each one of us has a portion of Girard instilled in himself, and it is up to us to carry this good name on by our deeds and actions. May God bless every one of you and watch over you in your daily endeavors. Sincerely yours, @U.. S’.

The Class of 1966 is the first to have had a complete high school career under the present advisor system by which most boys have met with the same advisor once a week for five years. Obviously this means that we have shared with them our growth, our problems and our hopes. Frequently they interceded for us in times of difficulty; they gave us help and direction; they listened to our carping; they praised us for good work and repremanded us for the bad. Each of them may rest assured that the members of the Senior Class will never forget them and what they have done for us. Our thoughts of the future are clearer because of them. Theirs is the longest period of time that we have been associated directly with one person in our Hum years excepting, of course, our classmates. We look forward to returning One of the lasting and real meanings in school life is found in the interest and understanding of those people who live and work with us, our advisors particularly. Through the years ahead these relationships grow, a fact which is evident on Founder’s Day when one sees alumni and teachers reminiscing and enjoying the amusing episodes of the classroom and buildings. And so we express to our advisors our thanks for their patience and their help. Throughout our five short years in the High School. Mr. Henry V. Andrews has been our Head Homeroom advisor.

It is equally true, however, that they made a magnificent comeback, completing the season with a 7-5-2 record by winning the final six games. The strength of the team centered around eleven returning lettermen who set the pace with their hard work and indomitable spirit. They refused to be discouraged and battled to the end of every game. In this respect this was one of the Hum’s best teams. Joe McCullough and Charlie Walker must be commended for their outstanding and contagious confidence and leadership. Special praise should also go to Phil Dempsey for his fine work in the goal. Our hardest-fought and best-remembered games were with North Catholic, the Navy plebes. and George School. Not one of these games was a victory for either side until the final referee’s whistle had blown. They had a zest and drive which we shall never forget. One of the significant elements of the season was the faith that Coach Wolstenholme had in his team, even through the five-of-six losses. We here express our appreciation of his example, and of his belief in us. Because of it, we were better soccer players and better men.

Fioca The wrestling team was a tribute to Girard not in the victories but in the unceasing effort and enthusiasm of the members and the coach. A kind of contagious spirit of never giving up marked the whole season, win or lose. There was a steady improvement under the respected leadership of John Lockard and Dan Jayjock. They set an example of good sportsmanship which won laudation from their opponents in a number of meets. Dan Jayjock in the 165-pound class, with a record of 11-1-1, was a victor in the Episcopal Tournament. Bob Dever in the 112-pound class and Chuck Langdale in 95-pound class also turned in outstanding performances. The success of the team was inverse to its record of two victories and 11 defeats. To the managers Nicholas Johnson and John Kazimer for their efficient care of details and to Coach David Wolstenholme we express our appreciation.

The highlight of the swimming season was the accomplishment of Elmer Ingram who three times broke the 400-yard freestyle record—and in his final effort reduced it to 4.42.5 in the Penn Charter meet. For the first time in three years the 200-yard medley relay team, consisting of Avideis Aglidian, Jay Silverman, Chuck Pardue, and Tom Carpenter, placed first in the Valley Forge meet which was 75-38 Girard victory. Robert Morck’s work in the 50-yard free style and Douglas Burleigh’s unbroken skein of wins were commendable as were Jay Silverman’s breaststroke accomplishment and Chuck Pardue’s backstroke improvement. The unimpressive team record of only one victory is, however, not a valid picture of the ’66 mermen. Every individual contributed his share to a laudable team spirit, win or lose, by faithful practice and by chins-up optimism throughout the season. It is not trite to say that this the reason that schools have athletics. It is in the creation of this spirit that Co-captains Robert Morck and Elmer Ingram have demonstrated their leadership. The inner center of a team is the coach, and in Mr. Alfred Maurer we had one who won our respect by his belief in us. Wyoming Sem. 36 Girard Ger.

Although the Fencing Team encountered many difficulties in getting its season started, it ended with an admirable record. Lacking a coach, the ream went ahead with none. They were generously sponsored by Mr. Norman Sherman. The regular nine-meet season was chop¬ ped to a two-meet shedule. With these handicaps the team lost its first meet with the University of Pennsylvania 21-6, but regained its spirit by defeating Havorford College 17-10. On Friday March 18, three members representing each weapon participated in the Yale Tournament State Championship held at Temple University. Captain Thomas Molz, sabre, Thomas Shaller epee, Daniel Sims foil, had hoped to win the trophy taken by Edison High School last year. When the caculation of the scores was made, Thomas Molz was tie for first with a fencer from Ben Franklin H.S. 5-1. The final bout was very close, but Tom, lost the State championship by one point. He placed second for the second straight year. Daniel Sims, ran up against stiff competition and placed third in the foil division. Tom Shaller, in the epee division took fourth place in his weapon. {55 y Ea.UUt First Ron , Left to Right: Co-captains T. Holod, M. Maialc Second Rou, Left to Right: P. Dempsey, J. Yaksima, C.

With five returning lettermen under the coaching of Mr. Anthony Stys the basketball team colored its hopes for a good season brightly. The height of Mario Maiale, Dean Wessner, and George Schied, and the ball handling of Phil Dempsey and Ted Holod added to this pre¬ season assurance. The season ' s record of nine losses and two victories does indeed prove that there were grey clouds in the hoopsters’ sky, but not in their spirit. Losses by 2 points in the Friends Central game and by one point in the Friends Select game indicated the closeness of some of the contests. The use of the 2-3 and 3-2 defense and the zone press was the key to Coach Stys ' style. A losing team, a tireless coach, and an excellent spirit were the elements of a Girard basketball team that has earned positive recognition from everyone on the campus. Ger.

At the time of this writing the cindermen have been dusted by Episcopal Academy, Germantown Friends, and Friends Central. Co-Captain Jim Dawson, and Ron DiFuria were consistent winners in dashes and the high and low hurdles respectively. Jim’s best time in the century is a highly respectable 10:2. Ron’s three firsts in the hurdles confirm his captaincy. Other senior members are Dan Jayjock, in the dashes and broad jump, Doug Burleigh in the shot put, Marc Steiner in the broad jump, and Carl Chryst in the high jump. Coaches Maurer and Stys have by their unstinted enthusiasm and example demanded and received from every team member hard work and steady improvement. Each boy has given and done his best. He has learned the qualities which good coaching and sports develop. Episcopal 73 Ger. Friends 43 Friends Central . 45 Ger.

The initial line up had Phil Dempsey behind the plate, Joe McCullough and Jim Kopp on the mound, Nelson Smith on first, Anthony Thissen at second, Louis Pacelli at third and Ed Zink at short. Across the outfield were Ang Capozio, Walter Poprycz, and Hans Aglidjan. With McCullough pitching, the Hum handed an 8-2 defeat to the Haverford School in a well played opener. The second game against Germantown Friends was a duel from the first to the last inning, ending in a 4-4 tie. Facing Chestnut Hill in the third contest, the Hummers slumped and absorbed an 8-3 loss. This was followed by an 8-1 trouncing from Valley Forge. The team has good potential and should find batting and pitching power in the remaining games. The defeats seem to have produced a fighting spirit and a new determination to win. Coach Greenfield has worked hard and instilled in his players a never-give-up attitude which is the heart of any sport. - Jjitt ' Uf ' Jo w w y? W Hoverford .... 2 Girard Ger.

This years Cross Country team, spearheaded by the excellent coaching of Mr. Anthony Stys, turned in a very respectable 3-2 record. It was one of the youngest varsity teams ever to represent Girard, with eighth, ninth, and tenth grade athletes dominating the competition. The highlight of the season was Bob Dever’s outstanding performance in every meet, es¬ pecially in the George School Invitation Meet. Out of ninety-seven runners, Bob took a second and missed first by four-tenths of a second. The Cross Country team, initiated in 1957, has by its excellent record earned a position in Girard’s sports program which is recognized as outstanding. Coach Stys, a second-year man, deserves very high commendation for his devoted and en¬ thusiastic work in making this team what it is. -{59 y 1966 Friendliest Class Clown Closs Politician Best Dresser Best Dancers Best Athlete Best Musician Best Physique Best Storytellers Favorite Song Favorite Building Favorite Organization Favorite Class Favorite Places First to be married First to go bald Biggest Eater Smallest Most Persuasive Most Radical Happiest Richest Most Studious Quietest Foggiest Typical Hummer Never to be forgotten Wittiest Favorite singing group Favorite girls .

It is a unique event when the graduating class leaves the campus as a united group for three days. There is no other occasion in a Girardian’s Hum life quite like it. This year we left early in the morning on February 16 and after getting settled in the Hotel Plaza began a crowded and busy three days of pleasure and education. We visited the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Army Medical Museum, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Library of Congress, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Arlington Cemetery and the grave of the former President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the Iwo Jima Memorial, Mount Vernon, a session of the Senate and the House of Representatives where we saw ' Senators Morse, Saltonstall, Dirksen, and Javitz. We sandwiched into all this hurry and bustle a movie entitled Thunderball.” We express to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cunningham, Dr. William Zeil, Mr. Norman Sherman and to the generous Alumni our appreciation for making this possible. i 6i y i 62 ) {63 y -Hztts.xmzn Baseball McCullough, ' 65, ' 66 Dempsey, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Pacelli, ' 66 Poprycz, ' 66 Capozio, ' 66 Kopp, ' 65, ' 66 Smith, ' 66 Aglidian, ' 65, ' 66 Scholl, ' 66 Strickland, ' 65 Track Dawson, ' 64, ' 65 ' 66 DiFuria, ' 65, ' 66 Walker, ' 64 Steiner, ' 66 Jayjock, ' 66 Burleigh, ' 66 Chryst, ' 66 Feltenberger, ' 66 Soccer Fisher, ' 66 McCullough, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Dempsey, ' 65, ' 66 Pacelli, ' 66 Poprycz, ' 65, ' 66 Aglidian, ' 66 Smith, ' 66 Capozio, ' 66 Strickland, ' 65, ' 66 Scalella, ' 65, ' 66 Lockard, ' 65, ' 66 Jayjock, ' 65, ' 66 Chryst, ' 65, ' 66 Mastromatteo, ' 65, ' 66 Maiale, ' 66 Zink, ' 65, ' 66 Walker, ' 65, ' 66 Fencing Martini, ' 63, ' 64, ' 66 Molz, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Shaller, ' 65, ' 66 Wrestling Jayjock, ' 63, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Lockard, ' 65, ' 66 Aglidian, ' 66, Scholl, ' 66 Fisher, ' 64 Cross Country DiFuria, ' 65, ' 66 Lentz, ' 65, ' 66 Swimming_ Burleigh, ' 63, ' 64,’ ' 65, ' 66 Ingram, ' 65, ' 66 Morck, ' 64, ' 66 Basketball Maiale, ' 65, ' 66 Holod, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Lentz, ' 66 Oswald, ' 66 Smith, ' 66 Steiner, ' 66 Dempsey, ' 65, ' 66 Chryst, ' 65, ' 66 Mevoli, ' 64 i 64 y
