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.

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 }.

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
