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

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

Goldberg, W. Poprycz, M. 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
