!Z ) £.ax zA [x. ixaxd: From newbies to seniors, from children to young men, we have grown and developed in this your dream, the insitution so dear to your heart. The long-awaited day of graduation has come at last, yet we pause to linger a moment before that great step. It is not apprehension of the world outside that makes us pause, for we have been well trained to accept any problem with purpose and determination. We have acquired an intelligent, purposeful tenacity through long association with demanding yet sympathetic intsructors. We have been given a firm foundation for a con¬ structive, fruitful life. Rather, it is d desire to recapture for a moment the joys of long ago, that will remain forever the precious hours of a proud way of life. We hesitate to think of no longer seeing our classmates, but we are thankful for having known each other through these years. To you, then, sir, we offer our warmest thanks for a valuable education and priceless friendships. After gazing once more on your creation, our home, we pass confidently out the gates, well prepared for whatever may lie ahead. We may meet trials, success, or disappointment, but our gratitude to ward you will never fail. Ciatii. oj IQ67 (loxuitiium GIRARD COLLEGE PHILADELPHIA, PA.

They have given to you all that they could of their understanding, their experience, and their knowledge. You know by now that their purpose has been to give your lives fuller and deeper meaning and to develop in you the qualities and abilities which are the strength of our American democracy. You leave us with an eager sense of a new freedom. We sincerely hope that your yea s at Girard have imbued you with the knowledge that freedom is universally balanced by responsibility. One never exists wit hout the other. Keep your chin up and accept both as your privilege and obligation. We ask you to join with us and loyally represent your school. Remember always that your deeds will speAk for you. Our blessings go with you. Sincerely, C.ai.vcs.11 t.. c:J cic(fj r i£. jox 4 6 Corinthian First Row: R. Kenna, M. Kemp, D. Kornacki, J.

In it must be captured eight to twelve years of smiles and tears, happy memories and sad moments, nearly forgotten faces and never-to- be-forgotten accomplishments. Words and pictures must depict our trying years to manhood. This challenging task fell on co-editors Ernest Crane and John Wallace, who were constantly spurred on by Mr. MacGregor, our faculty sponsor. Through experience, we gradually learned how much thought, planning, and hard work are required to produce a yearbook worthy of the name Corinthian. Articles on sports and activities were edited by Joseph Miegoc and Jay Silverman, respectively. The actual writing was done by James Bennett, Robert Dever, David Kornacki, Joseph DiPietro, William Lockard, Frank Fioca, Godfrey Torquati, John Gill, Dean Wessner, Chuck Pardue, Thomas Dwyer, Jeffrey Thomason, and Anthony Thissen. The photography staff, directed by Edward McGuckin, and the art staff, headed by Karl Wolbach, again provided the illustrations so necessary to an interesting yearbook. Business manager Daniel Sims and Thomas Martini performed the necessary paperwork to keep us above water financially. It was our printing advisor, Garry Norton, who, along with the seniors in the print shop, transformed the book from an idea into a concrete publication. To them and to Mr. Daffin go our sincerest thanks for making our Corinthian a reality. We know that in the year s to come we shall find much pleasure in the memories depicted in these pages. -{ 8 !

Lockard The Girard News this year has tried to live up to the literary excellence of past years. We be¬ lieve that we have been successful in this endeavor. Despite a change of editors in January, the publication of the paper was in no way hindered. Changes in presentation of the news itself have added to the appeal of the paper. The co-editors Jay Silverman and John Gill attempted to give the entire paper a new look by creating a new format and many new ideas. New styles of headline type have been introduced. Important articles are made noticeable through the use of bold, eye-catching type. Other titles such as letters to the editor and sports have been changed to improve the appearance of the paper. The sports page under the direction of sports editor Joseph Miegoc has improved by the addi¬ tion of the winner’s circle, listing the winning teams and their scores and new and more interesting titles for sports articles. The quality of pictures this year has been improved greatly. More time has been spent to provide more interesting and clearer pictures. Thanks go tu Edward McGuckin and James Bennett for their fine job as photographers. As news editor, John Wallace has tried to improve the quality of the articles appearing in each issue. Articles have been limited to those which are in the general interest, con¬ cise, and well written. Special thanks should go to Garry Norton, Robert Kenna, and John Kearns for the excellent job they performed in composing and printing the paper. Finally to Mr. Arnold Daffin, our sponsor, we extend a sincere thank-you for many hours of work he put into this publication and for the advice and criticism he offered us. Without his help the paper would not have been a success. -! 9 y WGC First Rou : H. Kinney, J. DiPictro, E. Crane, D. Kornacki, V. Machinist, D. Adams, W. Lockard Second Rate: J. Stewart, D.

Pioffman The objectives of WGC, ’67, were not to bring dull, factual news and boring, already-known campus events to its depressed Monday morning listeners; they were to try to give its audience a lift from the first-day-of-the-week-blues”. WGC, ’67 has apparently achieved its objectives. Its listeners have always felt a little less depressed after having heard the latest popular records, one of its famous Joke of the Week” series, or one of its side-splitting tape recordings of the more humorous events that occurred through the course of the school year. WGC, cheerful, informative, and interesting achieved its objectives this year. The radio show was originally introduced by Mr. Henry V. Andrews, who still sponsors it today. Though Mr. Andrews hoped that a weekly radio show would entertain the boys, his major purpose in creating WGC was to give interested boys a chan:e to develop and display their announcing and writing skills. Because of the valuable experience gained through Mr. Andrews and WGC, several of its announcers have gone on to a professional career in the radio and communications field. Dave Kornacki, WGC’s head announcer this year, was assisted by John Wallace, Den Adams, Garry Norton, Chuck Pardue. Bill Lockard, and Bill Machinist who, as electrical technician, also served as an announcer. The director of writers, Joe DiPietro relied on Ernie Crane, Jimmy Stewart, John Lamb, Eddie Saskel, and Harmon Kinney for the show’s featured events such as Room of the Week’, Athlete of the Week”, sports events, and interesting campus news. The WGC ' 67 writers and annourtcers would like to thank Mr. Andrews for helping to produce a show of high standards and good entertainment. A io y Dramatic Club First Rote: E. McGuckin, W. Machinist, G. Jamieson, M. Kemp, J. Kennett, J. DiPietro. N. Johnson, Mr. Henry V. Andrews Second Rou : J. Silverman, G. Norton, W. Lockard, C. Pardue, J. Wallace, D. Kornacki For well over 40 years the Dramatic Club has been one of the most active organizations on cam¬ pus. Under the superb guidance of Mr. Henry V. Andrews, the 1966-1967 Dramatic Club again produced excellent plays at Christmas and in the spring. The long list of past members of the Girard College Dramatic Club includes several successful television personalities. With an instructor like Mr. Andrews, this is no surprise. His tenacity and enthusiasm have made all the members of th? Club strive for perfection. In the spring of 1966 two plays were produced. The entire cast of one of these, The Statue,” by Arthur Miller was made of underclassmen. In leading roles were James Verna, David Kornacki, John Wallace, John Fulton, William Linton, and Jay Silverman. On December 16 the Club presented its annual Chirstmas play. This year’s presentation was The Bishop ' s Candlesticks” from the famous French novel, Les Miserahles, by Victor Hugo. It was a complete success. The main characters were John Wallace as the escaped convict Jean Valjean, James Verna as the bishop, Thomas Love as Madame, and Joseph Maleno as the servant, Pierre. In supporting roles were Jay Silverman, John Fulton, William Linton, Robert Marinucci, Richard Setzer, and Robert Lorenz. The play captured the true meaning of Christmas. A thief Jean Valjean, was caught stealing the bishop’s candlesticks. The police caught him and brought him back to face the bishop, but the bishop allowed the thief to go free, and gave him the stolen valuables. In the closing lines of the play, Jean Valjean promised the bishop that he would use the money to become an honest man. These plays are another contribution of Mr. Andrews’ direction which spans 44 years at Girard. -{!!} National Honor Society I pledge myself ro uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life.” This is the pledge of the National Honor Society which those truly outstanding people in our class took when being recognized as the leading citizens of Girard. Membership in the Society is offered only to those who display the best in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The members strive concientiously to uphold the standards and ideals stated in the pledge in conjunction with the ideals of Stephen Girard. We were very happy when James Bennett, Robert Dever, Nicholas Johnson, Jay Silverman, Warren Stanley, and Anthony Thissen were called to the platform as the representa¬ tives of our class in the Society. In the ensuing elections the members chose Jay Silverman as President, James Bennett as Vice- President, and Nicholas Johnson as Secretary. With such able leaders, the organization’s affairs were handled efficiently. Late in April the members, along with Miss Miriam McGhee and Mr. Albert Schoeli, dined at Kugler’s in Center City. The boys would like to thank the Alumni Association for their generous contributions toward the dinner. For his undivided interest as the Society s sponsor, they give many thanks to Mr. Schoeli. The chosen boys have demonstrated their worth to the school with fine records of service, loyalty, and leadership. We are sure that they will continue these highly desirable habits throughout their lives. -{12 y Sf IMloill i OIIIM’il First Ron ' . D. Kornacki. R. Devcr. M. Kemp, T. Dwyer, E. Crane, F. Fioca, G.

Thissen A student council is only as effective as its sense of respon¬ sibility allows it to be. It is the council in which the members have the opportunity to learn by actual practice how the democratic system operates and what is needed to give demo¬ cracy strength. They learn that discipline and reason, net desires and emotions, are the ingredients of a successful council. Girard ' s 1966-1967 Student Council had the good fortune to be led by President Thomas Dwyer, whose devotion to his responsibilities has earned for him high respect across the campus. Anthony Thissen served actively as Vice-President, Frank Fioca as a competent Recording Secretary, and Ernest Crane as the Corresponding Secretary. Recognition should also be given to Robert Dever, Michael Kemp, Lewis Rowen, and Garry Norton for their persistence and energy in meeting and working with the faculty to get things done. One of the major accomplishments of the year was the implementing of the Student Court. Equally important were the revision and publication of the Student Handbook and the introduction of better haircuts for the seniors. Both of these had existed only as hopeful talk until this year. New backboards for the basketball court on the North Playground were secured by Council effort, as were several improvements in dining room service. Perhaps the most important contribution of the Council is the one most difficult to judge. Has it served and fulfilled the purpose of making Girard a better school? Each student must decide this for himself. Finally we express our appreciation to Mr. Harold Holman for his dedication to this organization i 13 Conservation Club First Ron ' . E. Pasquarelli, M. Ahlum, W. Smith, J. Bennett, D. Ahlum, S. Jaloway Second Row : Mr. Henry Mazaleski, D. Adams, J. Silverman, C. Pardue, R. Dever, Mr. John Trimble The Girard College Conservation Club is one of the newer organizations on the campus, yet in its three years of existence it has made remarkable progress. Led by President Bill Smith, the Club worked hard trying to achieve its many goals. Some of the more active members were Vice-Pres. Jay Silverman, Bob Dever, Chuck Pardue, Dave Ahlum, and Robert West. The purpose of the Club is to try to strengthen this activity and to enlighten the mem¬ bers on the different phases of conservation and its importance in society. This was accomplished by meetings every Tuesday night, informally discussing projects for the Club and conservation. Among the many accomplishments of the Club was the trip to Roy McGee’s farm, where the members were introduced to some of the modern farming methods. A few months later a fishing and camping trip was taken to Pine Creek, Pa. Plaques indentifying the various trees on campus were ordered, received, and put up. The Club ordered movies for their own benefit and made arrangements for guest speakers to lecture on modern conservation problems. With our national problems of water shortages, soil erosion, pollution growing more acute and more important every day, the needs and possibilities in this field of endeavor are multiplying every year. In creating an interest in conservation the Club is invaluable. Some of the members have already expressed an interest in pursuing this field of activity in their college study. From placing plaques on Girard campus trees to the preservation of our forest would indeed be profoundly satisfying. Such accomplishments would never have been possible but for the Club’s sponsor, Mr. Henry Mazaleski, and the valuable advice of Mr. George Dunkle. The Club would also like to thank Mr. John Trimble, who through his inter¬ est and support added much to our year’s accomplishment. 14 Simian I Con rI Seated: Mr. John C. Trimble, R. Clayton Standing: E. Crane, F. Dwyer, R. Duckworth, G. Norton, T. Dwyer, D. Cundari The most important student-initiated innovation of the year has been the long-awaited creation of the Student Court. Finally activated by the persistent efforts of the Student Council, the Court has met several shortcomings in Girard life well enough to draw praise and support from the faculty. According to the charter The purpose of the Student Court of Girard College shall be to give to certain members of the Student Body the responsibility of charging, hearing, acquitting, con¬ victing, and in the event of convicting recommending and administering the punishment of indi¬ vidual students.” A boy is sent to the Court only when reported by a member of the faculty. In court, he has the right to defend himself by stating his case to the judge and jury, answering their questions, and calling witnesses if possible. He is then judged by the jury and, if found guilty, sentenced by the judge. The Court was conceived largely because of the inadequacy of existing punishments for minor infractions of school regulations. Detentions and mandatory afternoon study periods had become too common to serve as effective deterrents to student misbehavior. The Court substituted constructive physical work around the campus. Also, the Court gave the students a larger voice in their own de¬ fense when charged with breaking the rules. Student Body President Thomas Dwyer has served ably as the Judge this year. His common sense, sincerity, and dignity have increased the respect for his office. The jury consisted of Class Presidents Garry Norton, Dominic Cundari, Francis Dwyer, Robert Duckworth, and R. Ervin Clayton. Clayton as the eighth grade representative participated in court proceed¬ ings but did not have the privilege of voting. The important position of Court Secretary was well handled by Ernest Crane. The faculty sponsor, Mr John Trimble, was an indis¬ pensable consultant. His hard work and belief in the basic purpose of the Court was a tremendous factor in its ultimate success. i 15 World Affairs First Ron. : Mr. R. Porter, E. Crane, D. Kornacki, J. Wallace, T. Dwyer, J. DiPietro, W. Lockard Second Ron : R. Setzer, D. Ahlum, D. Cundari, A. Thissen, J. Lamb, L. Hartman, L. Kazimir D. Lalli Once again Girard students were given the opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of the world by participating in the Philadelphia Chapter of the World Affairs Council. This year, under the capable leaddership of Mr. Robert Porter, the World Affairs Council had a first — the addition of Juniors to the Girard representatives. Mr. Porter, who is very interested in this organization, proposed this idea, which has worked out very well. During the year, the Council sponsored two trips to the United Nations in New York. During the year the four Girard boys observed fir st hand our world’s major peace-keeping body at work. A highlight of the trip was the confrontation of the Syrian and Israel delegates, whose nations pre¬ sently have hostile relations. The students agree that this trip not only gave them a deeper under¬ standing of world problems, but also deepened their interest in other areas of study. Girard students also participated in the Council’s model United Nations, patterned after the actual United Nations. In a world full of turbulence and distorted by constantly changing allegiances in the struggle for recognition and a better way of life, this activity is valuable and vital. The discussions and analyses of contemporary problems which we have enjoyed have been the beginning of our world citizenship. The topics were of varied interest and importance, ranging from Red China’’ to The Population Explosion.” All dealt with problems which will greatly affect our lives in the immediate future. There is a realism and a vitality in the activities of the Council which cannot not be found in routine class study. The members of the Council would like to express their sincere gratitude to Mr. Porter for his real and valuable work in this organization during this his first year. -i 16 !“ SIimIoiiI Outer lint Row.

The Student Center during the past year has tried earnestly to obtain new items. Open four nights a week, it was again the center of after-supper activity. In the past there had been a work-it-out policy with few if any changes. This administration, though, did not settle for a second-rate job. In the first school year Manager Michael Kemp and Bookkeeper Godfrey Torquati went to work and introduced freshly-baked soft pretzels. After they had got die pretzel situation under control, the two went back to work and asked for two new pool tables to be put in the store. Under the leadership of Manager Kemp the store again illustrated its worth to the students. The store could not have functioned without the hard work done by Torquati as bookkeeper. Counter¬ heads for the year were: Tom Martini, soda; Dennis Adams, candy; John Gill, ice cream; William Madlvain, popcorn; Bob Kenna bakery; and Raymond Sweet, miscellaneous. Each student at Girard benefits from the Student Center. The store pays for the dances and .house parties throughout the year, scientific equipment for the high school, and athletic equipment for our teams. The 1967 Student Center staff is very grateful to Mr. George E. Dunkle, the sponsor, who throughout the year has put many long hours into seeing that the operation of the Student Center was a successful endeavor. Managing a store is a hard job, but all who participated have had an enriching experience. 1 17 j- Clee Club First Rou: Mr. Anthony M. Falati :o, V. Fioca, J. Wallace, K. Dimlcr, W. Stanley, Mr. Keith R. Chapman Second Rou: N. Johnson, T. Dwyer, J. DiPietro, W. Lockard, R. Hudson, D. Kornacki The Glee Club has always been an extremely energetic group. Few activities on our campus con¬ sume as much of a student’s free time. It is not an easy job selecting the right kind of music for the Girard College Choir, and appropriate for the performances of the choir. It takes many hours of hard work to produce one musical number of commendable quality. These hours are made productive and worthwhile because of the sincere efforts of the director, Mr. Anthony Falatico, and the accompanist, Mr. Keith Chapman, neither of whom ever seem to receive the praise they earn. 1966-1967 w r as a year of progress for the Choir. In the fall of 1966 members played an integral part in the performance of an opera at Girard, Claude Debussy’s LEnfant Prodigue. To insure a steady flow of new Glee Club members a new ' group was formed made up of younger boys. The group, the Corinthian Choir, performed admirably on numerous occasions. The Christmas and Spring Concerts constituted the most important musical events of the year. From their always-growing repertoire the Choir presented a wide variety of good music. For the two performances of the Christmas Concert they sang such pieces as Vittoria’s Ave Maria, and Adam’s 0 Holy Night. Also included were excerpts from Faure’s, Requiem Mass, Bach’s, Now Let Every Tongue and Nation, Leroy Anderson’s, Lord’s Prayer, Thompson’s Last Words of David, Frank’s 0 Lord Most Holy, and many more of equal quality. During the school year the Choir also appeared at the Valley Forge Memorial Chapel, the Alumni Award of Merit Assembly, and the Founder’s Day Concert. This year’s Glee Club officers were Frank Fioca, President, Nicholas Johnson, Vice-President, and John Wallace, Secret¬ ary-Treasurer. We of the Glee Club take with us more than we have ever given. We take the illuminated faces of ap¬ plauding audiences, and the deep satisfaction of accomplish¬ ment that even time will not dim. ! is y First Rott : W. Lockard, F. Fioca, J. DiPietro. E. Crane, T. Martini Second Row: W. Macllvain, D. Kornacki, A. Thissen, R. Kenna, |. Yaksima, J. Stewart This year’s Girardian placed greater emphasis on being entertaining than most recent issues. This was done in the belief that the students would be more receptive to the efforts of the Girardian staff, and that once such a responsive atmosphere had been established the staff itself would respond with better results. In general the idea was successful. We believe that the students enjoyed the magazine more and that there was more competition to get material accepted and published. This yielded an in¬ crease in contributions over those of last year. This heightened interest is indicative of a change for the better in Girard’s attitude toward the creative and intellectual side of life. This should blend well with the purposes of the Seminar. An education cannot be complete without this presentation of cultural activity. One major criticism of the Girardian that we hope will be corrected in the future is the lack of participation by the lower grades of the high school. It is hoped that in following years the lower grades will resume their former position of supplier of much of the magazine’s material. This magazine is largely the result of the efforts of Editor Joseph DiPietro. With the help of Assistant Editors Frank Fioca and Ernest Crane, Joe gathered the material, much of it his own work, and organized a varied, versatile magazine to please a wide variety of readers. The Class of 1967 wishes to thank Mr. Patrick Brown, Mr. Arnold Daffin, and the staff of the Girardian for their efforts in making rhis year’s magazine a success.

Johnson When we were newbies, rhe Saturday morning Concert Band programs never failed to set us dreaming about what it would be like to play the drums, the trumpet, the exotic oboe, the funny-looking bassoon. Our chance came in sixth grade, when we received our first instruments. We quickly discovered that just blowing, banging, tapping, or beating them as hard as we could would not make music. With the quiet, friendly inspiration of Mr. Morrison and hours of practice, we finally did achieve that coveted seat in the Concert Band. Now, as that last march of the Class of 1967 approaches, we suddenly appreciate how much playing in the Concert Band has meant to us. This year’s band our band, performed a wide variety of music, ranging from the classical Lttstpiel by Keler Bela to sounds made popular by the Tijuana Brass including The Lonely Bull, A Taste oj Honey, and Tijuana Taxi. Other popular numbers included selections from the musicals Man of La Manche and Camelot, and a medley of band numbers written by the well-known Henry Mancini. Membership in the Concert Band added much to our lives at Girard. It gave each of us an appre¬ ciation of wonderful music. It added the pleasure of achieving success at a difficult task. It also showed us that this success can be achieved only through desire and hard work. Leadership of the Band rested in the capable hands of Captain Ernest Crane, 1st Lieutenants James Bennett and Leo Grabowski, 2nd Lieutenants Jay Silverman, John Gill, and Floyd Hoffman, 1st Sergeants Dennis Adams and Chuck Padrue, and Sergeants Warren Stanley, Nick Johnson and Walter VanGordcr. These officers combined the authority and example so vital to a disciplined, dedicated band. We sincerely thank Mr. Robert W. Morrison, who through hard work and peerless leadership, made our success possible. -! 20 y Battalion Top: J. Ricelli, D. Kornacki, D. Wessncr, W. Smith, A. Thisscn, A. Walker, G. Norton l : .

On Founder’s Day, the competitive drills, and other military occasions, demonstrations of efficiency and expert performance were shown by all members of the Battalion. Special recognition must go to the following officers whose help throughout the whole year was invaluable: Cap¬ tain of Recruits Jeffrey Thomason, Captain Quartermaster William Macllvain, Captain Inspector Robert Jacobsen, and Captain Adjutant Francis Valentino. The individual com¬ panies were commanded by Captain Thomas Dwyer of Company A, Captain Garry Norton of Company B, Captain Dean Wessner of Company D, and Captain Andrew Walker of Company C. These boys were part of the nucleus that made the discipline and morale of the Battalion a definite part of what makes a good Girardian. In the midyear competitive drill, Captain Dwyer’s Company A took first place followed by B, C, andD, respectively. In the individual drill, Michael Kemp of Company B took first place fol¬ lowed by John Wallace, also of B. We extend our appreciation to Lieutenant Colonel James Hamilton and to Sergeant Matthew MacMillen for their firm guidance throughout the year. The officers of the Battalion of 1966-67 can look back in the years ahead knowing that they have lived up to the traditions which have been established over the years. A 21 j� Jr. A. M. S. The College sends four Senior boys to the monthly meetings of the Junior Administrative Management Society. The same four boys—this year they are Michael Kemp, Godfrey Torquati, John Lamb, and John Gill—attend the eight monthly meetings of the group, held throughout the school year on the second Wednesday of the month, in the late afternoon. The meetings are held in the offices of well-known Philadelphia business firms, where topics of import¬ ance to young people interested in business are dis¬ cussed. During the fall the group met at the Atlantic Richfield Company, where the topic was Civil Service Opportunities ; at the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, where the topic was The Attri¬ butes of a Good Employee; and at the School of Business Administration of Temple University, tie topic being The Importance of Continuing Your Education. The boys owe a great deal to their sponsor, D. James D. White. His efforts have made this valuable activity possible to better train them ii the field of business. To him they are grateful. J.

Instead of the usual trombones, saxo¬ phones, and trumpets, the Sand-elles recruited two rhythm guitar players, Dan Di Massa and John Troxell, one lead guitarist, Allison Sparks, and a bass guitar player, Garry Norton, to go with drummer Gary Amodeo.

Stewart The prcof of a well-rounded school is variety of activities available for the betterment of the mind and body. The Junior-Senior Seminar is an excellent example of an organization to promote intellectual activity. Originally sponsored by Mr. Benjamin Rorhberg, the Seminar has for some rime been the responsibility of Mrs. Elsie McDaniel, who has continued successfully to carry on this worthwhile endeavor. All of the lectures have been stimulating and informative. After the opening speeches, the number and variety of questions asked by the audience indicated the interest of the students and assured a full, pointed discussion, frequently provocative and never dull. Among the speakers was the Honorable William J. Leaderer, of the Pennsylvania State House of R epresentatives speaking on Practical Politics. Mr William C. Liss, Assistant Director of Education of the General Building Contractors Association, Inc., delivered an address entitled Employment Op¬ portunities in the Construction Industry. The noted music critic of the Evening Bulletin. Mr. Max deSchauensee, spoke on Music Evaluation. The variety of interests presented by the speakers and the popularity of this activity lend a valu¬ able cultural aura to the routine of our Girard life. It is these extra activities of our school that the essential values which give purposeful significance to the specific class study is frequently initiated. The members of the 1966-1967 Junior-Senior Seminar have profited greatly from this activity. They are all immeasurably grateful for the time and energy Mrs. McDaniel has devoted to organizing these practical and educational talks. The overall effect of the Seminar is far reaching, for it encourages discussion and individual research in provoca¬ tive subjects, and leads to deeper appreciations in many areas. i 23 Y l Sfiol� gi iig� liy Club The Photography Club is probably the most inconspicuous organization in our school, and yet without it much cf the interest and meaning of our publications would be completely lost. It moves ahead quietly and unobserved. Its members go to great lengths to furnish for the Corinthian and the Girard News pictures of depth and quality. The task of a photographer creates its own reward in the satisfaction of the printed results. He must efficiently organize his work to select the time and place for group or action shots, ar¬ range for boys to be present, and be responsible for the quality of the picture in the developing and printing. If any thing goes wrong he must accept the blame and make all arrangements for another picture. The members themselves have, of course, profited from this experience. They have been in¬ troduced to a new and interesting activity, which can lead to a permanent hobby or even a pro¬ fitable career. They have had a chance to develop and refine their techniques and appreciation of good photography. For a number of years Mr. Perley H. Pease as the faculty sponsor has given invaluable assist¬ ance and advice to new shutterbugs. He will retire at the end of this year, and the Club members particularly express their thanks for his contribution to their efforts. Officers during the year were Edward McGuckin as Presi¬ dent and James Bennett as Vice-President, who molded the Club into an efficient, well-organized activity. These two combined with Gilbert Jamieson and Robert Ayjian to pro¬ vide the pictures found in this yearbook. Other members included Dennis Adams, Robert Kenna, Jeffrey Thomason, Andrew Walker, and Jerome Manasek. We extend our sincerest thanks to these boys and to Mr. Pease for their unselfish devotion to a vital and worthwhile organization. i 24 y Student Body President THOMAS ANTHONY DWYER (TOM) 3672 Stanton Street Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Brothers of Girard, As the Class of 1967 walks down the Chapel aisle for the last time, we all know that we are leaving part of ourselves at Girard. The wonderful memories, the trials, and the failures fill our minds and reach into our hearts. As your Student Body President I have learned a great deal, the greatest thing is that to do something worthwhile the principles of justice and fairness must be placed above personalities and personal inclinations. I hope that in the future the students will work harder to support their leaders to serve the best interests of our school and that they will work and act on an ethical level that these best interests require. To the future Student Body Presidents I say never give up, no matter how discouraged you are, and always live and act by the highest principles. Stand up for what you believe. Now my official duties are completed. You have chosen a new leader. Give him your full support. By helping him you are helping yourselves and adding to the strength and reputation of Girard. In closing I want you to know that it has been for me a privilege and an honor to hold this office. I shall always think of you as my brothers. May God bless and keep each of you. Sincerely yours, A 26 y wm Senior ili%ss Presiilenl GARRY WILLIAM NORTON (GARRY) 6413 Old York Road Philadelphia, Pa.

Girard has meant more to us than just a school. It has been a way of life which only a Hummer can appreciate. It has been a long but a good journey. Looking back at past years, we can summarize what Girard has done for us. With our social and educational background, we can expect a future of promise and success. Girard has given us more than we can ever repay. In return we must never forget our responsibilities as representatives of this beloved school. It was a privilege and an honor to be elected your leader. We have faced minor difficulties, and we have had our share of let-downs, but we have benefited from our mistakes. I would like to thank each of you sincerely for the support and cooperation you have given me throughout this memorable year. In a few short days we will walk down the aisle for the last time. We will look into each other’s eyes and think of the heartaches and joys we have shared together. Let us never forget these many memories which lie deep in our hearts. Girard has given us a firm foundation, one which we were fortunate to receive. It is up to us to take advantage of it. Now we must leave, but deep in our hearts there will always be a place for Girard. Dear Temple on the hill”, I bid you farewell; and classmates, may God be with you every step of the way.

Zeil, Dr. James D. White, Mr. Robert G. Fryling The culmination of our ten years at Girard was our entrance into Allen Hall. Life here has been fully as enjoyable as we were always led to believe. For this our last year, discipline” was replaced by responsibility.” We made many of our own decisions, formed new friends, and took charge of our own learning and maturity. All these respon¬ sibilities brought us closer to the realistic, intricate world that awaits us after graduation. The year has had its lighter side also. Who can forget the third lloor seances, the midnight prow ling of Green Hornet, Bugaloo’s funeral, composition-writing on Sunday nights, the shaving cream battles, the Plagues and the Cougars? We never could hear those bells in the morning, nor could we ever stay in our rooms the entire two hours of study. It has been a good life, a life without checkups, w ' histles, dormitories, lockers, or constant su¬ pervision. It has broadened our horizons, rounded our characters, and prepared us well for life out¬ side. It has, in a word, added immensely to our maturity. This pleasant year was possible only through the efforts and understanding of Dr. Zeil, Mr. and Mrs. Pease, Dr. White, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Erdenborger, anr Mr. Fryling. To them we are most grate¬ ful; they are our friends in the truest sense. i 48 ]- Senior lli lili lifs A senior is to a newbie, the hero and biggie. A Girardian grows up anticipating his senior year. We have arrived, and have found our highest expectations fulfilled. Who can forget the magnificent White Supper, the frantic college applications, the N.H.S. in¬ ductions? We felt very important as we finally took responsibility for the Christmas and Spring Con¬ certs, the dramatic presentations, WGC, the Talent Show, and the Founder’s Day ceremonies. The fabled Washington trip was undoubtedly the crowning point of the year. Aside from pro¬ viding us with an unforgettable visit to our nation’s capital, the trip gave us a new awareness of class unity. To the Alumni we offer our w-armest thanks for a memorable experience. Along with the priv ileges and recognition came a sense of responsibility, a knowledge that we had to set a constant example by which the school would be judged. The extent to which we met this responsibility was the measure of success this year. Finally, the year drew to a close with a flourish. Amidst the dances, dinners, and ceremonies ac¬ companying Bum Week and leading up to Graduation, we realized sadly that we had run our mara¬ thon.” We may never again assemble as a class, but we have the memories of a wonderful year to cherish forever. This year has given us countless opportunities to better ourselves and Girard. Now ' w ' e realize how much more we could have done, but w ' e hope w ' e have done well enough so that Girard may look back and say that she was proud to have us. J , 49 V IR.emem e ' i. i 51 y Social Life Mr. Mrs. Robert W. Morrison Dr. Mrs . Car) C Fischer In a world where the finer points of living are too often overlooked, it is reassuring to know that we, as Girardians, have received fine training in this more pleasant facet of our educa ion. Our social directress Miss Miriam McGhee, was a patient, never-tiring instructor. As ninth graders in her classroom, we were socially very awkward. As tenth graders in dancing lessons under Mr. Walter Keenan, our plight seemed hopeless. However, our first step into the so¬ cial limelight, our sophomore coke party, proved to be quite a success. With this experience behind us we eagerly looked forward to our first semi- formal affair, the sophomore class dance. The careful preparations of Miss McGhee and the unique atmosphere of a semi-formal dance made this a mem¬ orable night. We had now been introduced to a new world of enjoyment, and we thoroughly liked it. With progressing poise and eagerness we entered into the social life of the junior year. Two more class dances, a house party in Bordeaux Hall, two Canteen dances, and a Cadet Dance were the highlights of this year. The socially awkward boy was gradually being moulded into a socially knowledgeable Girardian. In our final year at Girard the dances were finer than any other year. Many seniors took advan¬ tage of a class dance and another house party. It is doubtful that anyone who attended the Cadet Dance will ever forget that splendid night with its beautiful growns and formal military uniforms. There will be times in the future when we shall look back and re¬ capture in our minds the pleasures of our Commence¬ ment Dance and Buffet Dinner. We extend our deepest appreciation to Dr. and Mrs. Carl C. Fischer and to Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Morrison who were our class hosts and hostesses.

All-American players and dry championships highlight the history of the Hummers’ teams. The popularity of the sport has in recent years grown by leaps and bounds and com¬ petition has become intense. Certainly locally Girard teams, coaches, and players have played a definite part in this growth. In recent years, however, our teams have not maintained their high place in the winners’ column. The record of the ’66 fall season was the worst in our history with only one victory in twelve games and that over Valley Forge Military Academy. Despite the depressing scores there was, under Co-Captains Anthony Thissen and Garry Norton, a leadership of which Girard can be proud. Defeat was never granted until the final whistle. This refusal to give up is the primary attribute of a good athlete and the purpose of athletics. Rated on this scale the 1966 soccer team earned the plaudits of every Hummer. Both captains played well. Thissen in the goal was frequently outstanding, and Garry Norton was high scorer with seven goals to his credit. Finally the team expresses its thanks to Coach Wolstenholme for his unceasing drive in making us do our best. -{ 54 K First Row: C. Pardue, R. Dever, W. Stanley Second Row: Coach Stys, A.

Rosenberg Cross i on iiI rv The story of this year’s Cross Country team was a success story. Despite stiff competition, the team turned in the best win-loss record in the history of the sport at Girard. The roadmen started their winning season by romping over Westtown, taking first, second and third places, and repeated this performance against Germantow n Friends, this time taking first, third, and fourth. The only disappointments of the season came with losses to Episcopal and Haverford, the latter by one point and despite the fact that Hummers” again took the first three places. The team ended the year as brilliantly as they had begun it by smashing Penn Charter, once again finishing one, two, three. The highlight of the season was the magnificent running of Bob Dever. He was rruly the team’s inspiration. Undefeated in dual competition. Bob shattered the Hum record by 34 seconds and became the first Girard runner ever to win the George School Invitational Cross Country Meet. He was backed up well by Chuck Pardue and Warren Stanley, who, with constantly-improving support from the underclassman provided the depth necessary for the wins. The team here expresses its thanks to Coach Stys for his belief and hard work. H is contagious enthusiasm and faith are the source of this satisfying record. i 55 y First Ron: H. Jcsionowski, P.

Sparks Swimming Although the record of three victories and eight defeats for the 1967 swimming team is unimpressive, it fails to reveal the real quality of the team and its members, their w illingness to tra ; n and practice, their team spirit, and the potential improve¬ ment which all this promises for next year. Outstanding performances were made by Chuck Pardue in the 100-yard backstroke, A1 Sparks for a fine job in diving, and Mike Ahlum in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle events. Special recognition goes to Ahlum for setting a new record in the 200-yard free¬ style and also to John Haefele for a commendable job in diving and the individual medley. Perhaps the greatest tribute to the team is the fact that they energetically accepted their tough grueling workouts and recognized that the develop¬ ment of good swimmers requires loyalty and dedica¬ tion. Many of these boys were underclassmen who will be a source of real strength and victories for the team in the coming years. Such an impressive growth, though, would have been impossible without the help and encouragement of Coach Maurer. To him we extend our deepest thanks. Co-captains John Gill and Jay Silverman should also be commended for their inspiring leader¬ ship and untiring efforts toward making a better team. -{ 56 y Kneeling- ' W. Killeen, G. Troxell, T. Jefferson Standing. ' W. Johnson, J. DiPietro, D. Sims, E. McGuckin, D. Plank Fencing Led by senior veterans Dan Sims, Ed McGuckin, and Joe DiPietro who were un¬ deniably determined to carry on the fencing tradition at the Hum, the squad induced Mr. Roger Mahoney to serve as their sponsor since they had no official coach. The school recognizes this self-determined enthusiasm as a high point in good sportsmanship. The first meet with the University of Pennsylvania freshman team was defeat by the seemingly lop-sided score of 20-7. This contest was, however, decided by nine bouts which were lost by one-point margins. The second meet was a stimulating victory over Northeast High by a 10-7 score, with stellar preformances by Sims and McGuckin who won all of their bouts. Next came the first tournament, the Delaware Valley Coaches’ Saber Championship. Hoping only to make a good showing, the Hummers had two of their three entries in the finals. The concluding scores gave Girard the unofficial championship, as Dan Sims, who had never before fenced in saber competition took first place honors with Joe DiPietro supporting in third place. In the Junior Olympic Individual Foil Open a highly competitive event comprised of one-third college students Sims took a third and DiPietro a sixth place. As of this writing with three more tournaments to go the fencers have a good chance to establish another highly successful season. i 57 Y First Row: R. Dever, V. Lockard Second Ron : D. Adams, F.

Fioca Wrestling The 1967 wrestling team was one of the most improved in the Hum. To attend one of their workouts would show why — they are a team that never quit. Under the driving inspiring leadership of Captains Bob Dever and Bill Lockard the 1967 team earned the respect of the school. It accumulated a hard-earned and highly respectable record of six wins and seven losses and a fifth place in the Episcopal Tournament as compared with last year’s record of two wins and eleven defeats and an eighth place in the Tournament. The team got off to a poor start, losing four of the first five meets. However, they finished in a strong rush , taking three of the last four to come very close to the first winning season in three years. The team’s most consistent winners were A1 Coccagna (9-2), Ed Garabedian (12-0), Bob Dever (11-1), and Garry Norton (11-2). Other contributors were Bill Lockard, Jeff Thomason, Dennis Adams, Floyd Hoffman, and Frank Fioca. The pride of the team was Bobby Dever, who after four years finally took a first place in the Episcopal Tournament. Norton and Coccagna took seconds. Much thanks go to Coach David Wolstenholme for making the team what it was. The 1967 wrestling team has made a good start toward Girard’s return to dominance of the mat. { 58 y First Rou : D.

Hallier, Coach Anthony Stys Basketball This year’s basketball team entered the season with one goal in mind—to have a winning season for the first time in six years. In the first game with Chestnut Hill Academy, they dropped one by a score of 66-43. In the second game, they met Germantown Friends. Two free throws in the closing seconds brought home a victory, 60-58. The team’s next game was a victory over Friends Central by the score of 43-37. Against Friends Select, the hoopsters extended their winning streak to three games with a 45-28 triumph. At this point in the seaso n the team became a little too overconfident. In the next four games the team ' s record dipped from 3-1 to 3-5. With their hopes for a winning season temporarily jolted, the team played one of its best games of the season, beating the Alumni, 45-39. Next, they evened their record at 5-5 with a 50-29 rout of Friends Select. Their goal still within reach, they traveled to PSD for the final game of the season. A hot second quarter took them into the locker room with a 28-27 halftime lead. When the buzzer sounded, however, they had lost the game, and their winning season, by a point 52-51. The team will suffer heavy loss with the graduation of Yaksima, Wessner, Thissen Kenna, Stewart and Wallace. It will also continue to be handicapped by the lack of height. There will be no player to replace Wessner, the tallest man on the team. Some of the junior s will serve as bright spots cn 1968 team. Coach Stys deserves much credit for inspiring us with a desire to excel. Sitting: O’Connor, W. Michener, R. McElroy, W. Boyd, J. Debold, M. Elkins S. Flammini, J. Walls, R. Devcr Kneeling.’ W.

Stanley, Coach Maurer Trac k Led by several veterans and supported by many promising newcomers the squad of cindermen at the season’s outset looked good to all benchwarmers and pro¬ phets. It was one of the largest turnouts in recent years. Chuck Pardue, Warren Stanley, and Bob Dever, who shone in fall cross country, will undoubtedly be winners. Warren should have an excellent record in the mile; Chuck should shine in the half mile, and Bob in the two mile. In the sprints, which is frequ¬ ently a weak spot in Hum track teams, Lew Rowen, John Yaksima, Avedies Aglidjan, and Ray Sweet will carry the hope for needed scoring. The potential high jumpers are Fran Valentino, Andy Walker, and Jim Stranzl. Dean Wessner in the shot-put and Tom Michener in the pole vault should be consistent point winners as should John Yaksima and Ray Sweet in the broad jump. Coaches Alfred Maurer and Anthony Stys state that there will be long sessions of hard work on hot afternoons; there will be discipline and good sports¬ manship; there will be the willingness to cooperate and to refuse to give up; and there will be growth and improvement. These are the essential reasons why sports are part of our system of education. When the results of the season have been tabu¬ lated, the team will have proved that the qualities which good coaching creates have become a part of every boy who participated in track. •{ 60 Y First Ron .

Crane Itasoliall At the time of this writing the baseball team, with a record of two wins and two losses, looks forward confidently to a good season. Coach Steven Greenfield feels that his team has the material and desire to equal last year’s outstanding record of 8-3. The team will be paced by six returning letter- men: Garry Norton, an effective pitcher; Joe Miegoc, a star behind the plate; Tony Thissen, playing a great game at second; Bill Lockard, covering short; Jim Stewart, on third base; and Harry Young, in center field. Rounding out the pitching staff will be John Wallace, Mike Aglid : an, and Linn Shueck. Elsewhere Ernie Crane Bob Kenna, and Mike Ahlum will share the work in left and right fields; Dominic Cundari and Martin Keeley will battle it out for the first base job; and John Kearns and An¬ thony Tangi will challenge the regulars at catcher and at third. Ragged from lack of practice after the Easter vacation, the team dropped a 10-1 decision to Haver- ford. This was followed by a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to Valley Forge. With hard work and much-needed practice they rebounded to whip Germantown Friends, 9-1 • Next they rolled over Friends Select, 11-2, to even their record. The team expresses its gratitude to Coach Green¬ field for his fine leadership and faith in the team. i 6i y Lettermen SOCCER Lockard, ' 65, ' 66 Norton, ' 65, ' 66 Stewart, ' 65, ' 66 Hoffman, ' 66 Kenna, ' 66 Sweet, ' 66 Thissen, ' 66 Wallace, ' 66 Yaksima, ' 66 Hudson (mgr.), ' 66 SWIMMING Silverman, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Gill, ' 66, ' 67 Pardue, ' 66, ' 67 Sparks, ' 67 VanGorder, ' 66 CROSS COUNTRY Dever, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Pardue, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Stanley, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66 Silverman, ' 66 WRESTLING Dever, ' 64, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Lockard, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Hoffman, ' 66, ' 67 Nor! on, ' 66, ' 67 Thomason, ' 66, ' 67 Adams, ' 67 Fioca, ' 66, ' 67 Grabowski, ' 65 Johnson (mgr.), ' 66, ' 67 TRACK Dever, ' 67 Pardue, ' 66, ' 67 Stanley, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Sweet, ' 66, ' 67 Wessner, ' 66, ' 67 Hudson, ' 67 Yaksima, ' 67 Macllvain, ' 67 Stranzl, ' 67 Torquati, ' 66 Walker, ' 67 BASKETBALL Kenna, ' 66, ' 67 Wallace, ' 66, ' 67 Wessner, ' 66, ' 67 Yaksima, ' 66, ' 67 Miegoc, ' 67 Stewart, ' 67 Thissen, ' 67 Sweet (mgr.), ' 66 FENCING DiPietro, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Sims, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 McGuckin, ' 66, ' 67 BASEBALL Thissen, ' 65, ' 66, ' 67 Lockard, ' 66, ' 67 Miegoc, ' 66, ' 67 Norton, ' 66, ' 67 Crane, ' 67 Kearns, ' 67 Kenna, ' 67 Stewart, ' 67 Wallace, ' 67 4 62 K Ttaim Rofonls SOCCER Girard 1—4 Frankford 0—3 Harriton 1—4 Annapolis 3—2 Valley Forge 1—5 Swarthmore 0—3 North Catholic 1—4 Westtown 1—3 Hill School 0—5 Germontown Acad. 2—5 U. of Penna. 1—3 George School 0—2 Alumni BASKETBALL 43—66 Chestnut Hill 60—58 Germantown Fr. 43—37 Friends Central 45—28 Friends Select 30—81 Valley Forge 47—54 PSD 22—85 Germantown Acad. 32—57 Episcopal 45—39 Alumni 50— 29 Friends Se ' ect 51— 52 PSD CROSS COUNTRY Girard 19—40 Westtown 22-35 Germantown Fr. 36-22 Episcopal 30-29 Haverford 17-36 Penn Charter Star 4tlilete WRESTLING Girard 20—35 Chestnut Hill 11—34 Wyoming Sem. 23—21 Germantown A. 11—37 Penn Charter 14— 38 George School 29—19 PSD 33—19 Valley Forge 13—33 Bryn Athyn 15— 29 Hill School 25—17 Episcopal 51— 3 Friends Select 6—40 Haverford 38— 6 Friends Central Episcopal Tournament—5th SWIMMING Girard 24—71 33—60 17—78 54—41 22—63 31—61 38—50 71—18 60—34 29—65 37—54 Wyoming Sem.
