Out beyond the open gate Lights of promise glow, You, who cheer’d us when we came. Bless us ere we go. We shall miss the daily round, Victory at ball; Miss the gay parade, and miss Classmates most of all. Only love illumes the years, Brothers, pass it on, Light the torch and spread the flame ’Till the years be gone. Sixteen hundred looking on, Follow, follow hard; Fight the game, increase her fame, Good bye to old Girard. There’s a world of worth beyond, Soldiers must not lag. Where good fortune waits for us, ’Neath the starry flag. Refrain: Fare-well! Fare-well! Dear Temple on the hill; We’ll not forget you Till our hearts be still. Mr. R. Serlucco Mr.J.

Their friendliness and sincere faith in our abilities will remain a happy memory for all of us. L3? ' fMJi s jojJ rjjM pstzsjysttr Dr. John A. Lander u;as graduated from Girard College in the Class of January 1940. He holds the degrees of B.S. and A.M. from Temple University and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. He also studied at Yale University, Johns Hopkins University and the Sorbonne in Paris, France. He holds Pennsylvania Department of Education certification in teaching and in administration and is a member of twelve ad¬ ditiona l professional organizations. Dr. Lander knows Girard College well. Not only did Dr. Lander receive his early preparatory education at Girard but was also a member of the faculty of the College from 1944 to 1964. In 1964 Dr. Lander was appointed Principal of Collingdale High School in Delaware County and then moved on to West Chester State College, where he has served successively as full professor, Chairman of the Department of Secondary Educa¬ tion and Professional Studies, and as Associate Dean of the School of Education from 1967 until his appointment to the presidency of Girard College by the Board of Directors of City Trusts, effective July 15, 1976. To the Class of 1977: You have earnestly endeavored in so many ways to make Girard College a finer school. As long as a spirit like that fostered by the Class of 1977 permeates the College, it will continue to progress. Your tireless effort, unselfish interest and love for Girard College have helped immeasurably to transform this school. You have done your best and you have made distinct contributions. Girard College will be in the future what you have done so much to make it this past year. During your stay here, you have been given the opportunity to lay a thorough foundation for life. The benefits of trained ability, self-control, will power, dependability and personal re¬ sponsibility are now ready to be put into the market place of life. Strive to compensate those who took part in the moulding of your lives by proving yourselves worthy of what has been done for you. Make your influence felt - - contribute as much as you can. Girard College will soon be a fond memory. May you always feel that the Temple on the Hill gave you faith in yourselves and a vision of the service you can render to the society of which you are a part. As you return to the College from time to time, you will find a hearty welcome. Come back to tell us of your successes and triumphs and, when necessary, your problems. Come back when you just want to chat about old times. May life be good to you! Yours very sincerely, John A. Lander President 6 7 Front Row Dr. J. Magill, Dr. V. Malisoff, Dr. ,J.

Our job was to reinstitute quality student leadership and to gain the re¬ spect of student and staff alike. We wanted students to think of the council as a strong motiva¬ ting force, as it once was, and we feel that we have accomplished at least that much. The dress and discipline codes are examples that prove that the administration does want and does consider student opinion, as long as it’s constructive. It was student opinion which caused the creation of homework deficiency, weekend privi¬ lege, student summer work program, and other programs that will probably be instituted next year. The council, working closely with the administration and alumni, have successfully started a basketball camp in conjunction with Mr. Sonny Hill, a noted basketball personality. We hope that in future years, students will be more serious about their student government and use it to benefit themselves in a positive way. j ' UTJOj ' MI J-JONO i 30CJ3YY “I pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of the National Honor Society to which l have been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals, the ideals of my school and of my life,” This is the pledge which every National Honor Society member agrees to honor and obey when he is inducted into the NHS. The Society embraces high standards of scholarship, ser¬ vice, leadership, and character which are bound in a moral and ethical framework. By utilizing and exemplifying these four traits, NHS members help to counter the many negative forces in schools today. For well over half a century the National Honor Society has worked to bring the achieve¬ ments of outstanding high school students to the attention of their classmates, parents, and community. Chapters in more than 20,000 secondary schools continue to strive to give prac¬ tical meaning to the Society’s dedication to scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Left to Right: R.

Lance After long hours of planning and gathering new ideas, the 1977 Corinthian was on its way to becoming one of the best yearbooks to be produced at Girard in recent years. This year’s staff was headed by Harry Lance and Tom Killeen as co-editors, and Mr. Devlin and Mr. Serluco as advisors. Throughout the year these people worked together along with several members of the senior class to produce a yearbook which everyone would enjoy. The three main objectives this year were to produce an interesting and enjoyable book, to make it different from past yearbooks, and to get the book out on time. Early in the year the staff decided on the theme, “Still Crazy After All These Years,” from Paul Simon’s popular song. Once the theme was determined, the layout was planned, pictures were taken, and stories were written. Everyone in the class did his share of making the 1977 Corinthian a different and interesting yearbook. The staff would like to thank everyone who made this successful yearbook possible. 14 GJJiA W The co-editors of the newspaper, Ray Beyerle and Ted Hicks, along with the Girard News staff, published five newspapers this year improving successively with each edition. The staff tried to publish a diversified paper including such things as artistic drawings, mazes, and various forms of literature. With the addition of a ten dollar prize for a monthly contest, student interest and involvement increased. There were also two special editions, one at Christmas and one at graduation; the former featured a one page salute to the Penn-Jersey Soccer Champions while the latter saluted the Class of ’77. The Girard News would like to thank Mr. William Stein, the advisor, and Mr. Rocco Serluco, the publisher, for their effort and time in putting out each edition. Standing: E. Newman, H. Lance, J.

The center added the services of a first floor lounge with three ping pong tables and comfortable furniture-all pro¬ vided for the students. The care and maintenance of the entire place was provided by the students, thus demonstrating what could be done when students put their minds to it. The Student Center afforded an excellent opportunity for students to go after study and get a sandwich and soda or maybe just to sit and relax in the comfortable surroundings. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to Mrs. Barbara Carter who acted as our sponsor and business manager. Since 1974 the Student Center has constantly grown and made adequate additions to benefit the students. E. Neuman, A. Snith, K. Small, L. Hook, C. Walton, B. Dalantinoui, T. Hicks, A. , Bond, R.

Ulrich Much of the skiing that the Ski Club did this year was at Spring Mountain, and those jvho went really enjoyed themselves. The chiel problem always seemed to be finding enough time for outings. The long awaited trip to Vermont never materialized due to insufficient time. Perhaps next year more time can be set aside for trips. The club provides an opportunity for a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening. 17 This year was a very hard working year for the Band. Due to the loss of last year’s seniors the band was stripped down to eleven members. This meant a total restructure of the group. In less than a month we had close to twenty-five members, many of whom were ex-band mem¬ bers. Under the dedicated and patient direction of Mr. Martin Knoblauch, we prepared for the Christmas concert. Mr. Knoblauch pulled us together and got us ready for our performance which was then only weeks away. We played very well and the concert was appreciated by all. The band also played at the soccer rally and the championship game. Along with the other students, the band cheered the team on to victory. All in all the band did s fine job despite its inexperienced members. 18 Front Rou): R. Bohner, J. Annand, D. Goldstein, W. Robinson, R. Anderson, F. Robinson, C. Bassey, E. Walls, J. Czbas, J.

Peterkin After an absence of several years,the Glee Club has been reorganized under the leadership of Mr. Knoblauch. The group is at present composed mainly of 7th, 8th, and 9th graders who rehearse every day except Tuesday in the auditorium. As of the Spring Concert the club num¬ bered thirty-eight. Every effort has been made to return to the past tradition of presenting anthems at Wednesday Chapel services. The group made appearances at approximately half the services and plans to make a presentation at all services next year. In addition to Chapel, the Glee Clubjcombined with the elementary school under Miss Lamb and the Band, presented the 61st Annual Christmas Concert on December 17. The Spring Concert included several of the Chapel Anthems as well as a medley of Beatles’ songs. Glee Club officers were Keith Small, President, and Gregory Crafton and Robert Schmeltzer as Vice-Presidents. The Club will be looking to expand its membership next year and hopes to include some outside trips to the performance schedule and to invite other schools to combine in joint concerts.

We had all looked forward to this year for a long time. In West End and in Junior School it seemed as if this was only a dream. Finally it became a reality. Our housemasters would usually liven things up a little by getting themselves into either a game of pinball or a little snow battle. Taking a stroll around the building we were almost always inclined to find the phone being occupied by one of the well known S.P.C. members (senior phone crew) who would spend end¬ less hours talking to their loved ones. We were finally the seniors that we had long waited to be, and we took advantage of our title as much as possible. For all these years we have been very close friends, Girard Brothers, and now we have reached the end and will be classmates no more. But as we walk out of the chapel on Graduation Day, on to our new lives, we will remember our days of Bordeaux Hall and our life long friends. s yjoji Our Senior class trip will most likely be one of the best and most enduring memories of our final year at Girard. For four days we had an exceptionally good time between going on tours of old Boston, being out on the town on free time and just lounging around in our rooms. Mr. Rick Wooten, Ms. Joanne Wallen and Mr. Antonio Assetto were the three chaperones who made the trip that much more enjoyable. Boston was a really beautiful city and was very clean. We would like to thank the Alumni for the funds for the trip. Without them the trip would not have been possible. 21 33j N ]JOd f aoiv] The first Senior Prom at Girard since 1971 proved to be a great success. Under the leader¬ ship of Bob Preston and Chuck Insinger, certain members of the class worked very hard in preparation for the big event. The many guests who were invited included President Lander, members of the administration and faculty. All these guests and all the couples enjoyed the prom greatly. The dinner, prepared by the D S, under the direction of Mr. Walters was superb. The “Electric Connection” provided the music for the night and a night of good dancing was enjoyed by all. The Class of 1977 would like to thank everyone involved in making the prom a great success, and we hope that this tradition continues in years to come at Girard. 22 DRESS COMMITTEE BUILDING COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE PROM COMMITTEE DANCE COMMITTEE 23 Cl SS POLL Friendliest.Killeen, Merenda Biggest Eater.Insinger Best Dresser.Preston Favorite Class. 4th Period First to Marry..

Statistics support this statement: a 14-4-2 win-loss record overall; a 6-0-1 win-loss record in the Penn-Jersey League that led them to the championship of the league; a 9th ranked soccer team in the entire city at one point in the season; and lastly, a team that scored 74 goals against their op¬ ponents while allowing a mere 19 goals against them in 20 games. The team was comprised of thirteen seniors and five juniors. They had the honor of having Mr. Robert Ludwig as their coach and they could not have asked for a bet¬ ter person. Girard won big in many games during the season and the ones they lost were very hard-fought battles. They walked over such teams as St. Joseph’s Prep 5-0, Per- kiomen 7-0, Friends Central 7-0, Solebury 7-1, Swarth- more College 6-3 and Pennington 11-2. But even after all those great wins and a few tough losses, the most important game of the season was the very last one. This game put Girard up against George School for the Penn-Jersey League Championship. After a hard-fought battle that saw both teams pl y their hardest, Girard emerged as the Champs as they beat George School 2-0. Overall it was a very successful season and a very hap¬ py one for everyone at Girard. The team greatly appreciated the efforts and coaching of Mr. Ludwig and the support they received throughout the season from their fans. 44 . 45 CJiOSS COUj ' j’fSiY Standing: A Bond, B. Oliver, J. Reed, R. Schmeltzer, B. Pfromm, M. Masters, Coach Mr. R. Powers, Kneeling: K. Small, S. Gathers This year’s cross country team got off to a slow start. The team was losing due to its lack of experience and support. Out of all the teams they ran against, the Girard team was always the smallest in number. Therefore, by having such a small squad the team gave up several places in every meet. This sometimes caused the dif- j ference between winning and losing that meet. Even with this deficit, however, the team, through hard work and dedication, was able to come away with four wins and a j promising outlook for next year. The team consisted of one senior, four juniors, and one sophomore. With only one letterman leaving this ! year, next year’s team will have much more experience behind it. This experience, added to individual talent, | will bring the team a more successful season. Special recognition must go to Samuel Gathers, a sophomore, who captured many first places and also set | a few records. With all these young runners Girard should | look for a competitive and exciting team in the near future. Special thanks must go to Mr. Rich Powers, head coach, and to Mr. Leib and Mr. Clatterbaugh, assistant I coaches, who put out a lot of time and effort to make this team a contender. 46 LOW SCORE WINS GIRARD 41 MITCHELL. 36 GEORGE SCHOOL. 35 V.F.M.A. 38 AKIBA. 37 HARRITON. 24 N.J.S.D. 35 HUN SCHOOL. 38 PRINCETON DAY. 28 PENN CHARTER. 25 PENNINGTON. 24 PSD. 41 AKIBA. 34 V.F.M.A. PENN-JERSEY CHAMPIONSHIPS - 5th SEASON RECORD - 4-9 47 Standing: Mr. R.

The wrestling team has grown stronger during the last few years as a result of these objectives. This year’s team, co-captained by Teddy Hicks, Bob Preston and Bill Ulrich, garnered 9 wins and as many losses. Our greatest achievement occured at the takedown tourney when five Hummers advanced to the finals; S. Gathers, K. Bethea, B. Preston and T- Hicks finished as champions and B. Ulrich placed second. In our league championships, T. Hicks and S. Gathers both missed first place by one point and B. Ulrich grabbed a third. T. Hicks was our lone champ¬ ion in our own “Hum” Tournament. Although top in¬ dividual winners were B. Preston, S. Gathers, C- Riley, K. Bethea, and T. Hicks, each of our wrestlers was invaluable in our nine wins. Farewell “Maroon Platoon” and good luck.

Even though the 5-12 record did not reflect it, the team was very competitive and never gave up. Many of the team’s losses could have gone either way. In fact, it was not until the last seconds of the game that many outcomes were determined. The high point of the season was a stunning 30-23 upset over PSD which pushed them out of the Penn-Jersey League Playoffs. Additional wins also came from beating Akiba, Perkiomen, George School, and the faculty. The team was composed of three seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores. With four returning lettermen and some good prospects from the junior varsity, the team next year has a bright future ahead of it, and possible contention in the Penn-Jersey League Playoffs. Special thanks should go to Coach McKay and his assistant, Mr. Leib, for keeping the team together and in contention throughout the year. 51 Back Row: M. Oestreich, B, Tillinghast, T. Sims, C.

The Penn-Jersey record was 1-7 with a victory over Pennington School. The competition this year was harder due to the fact that each of the swimmers had to swim in three events every meet because of a lack of swimmers. Even with the illnesses and injuries throughout the season, the swimming team showed great sportsmanship and a positive attitude toward each meet. Many of the opposing coaches complimented the team for their ef¬ forts in swimming their best. This in itself is a winning season. 53 r iACJt Standing: N. Jenkins, K. Small, J. Reed, P. Bradley, S.

Although the team did not begin on a winning streak,they certainly did put up a good fight. With time, patience and practice the team shaped up and got it all together. Buddha Dalantinow, Chuck Insinger, Randy Howell, Bob Preston, Ed Newman, and Gary Aron, all seniors on the team, should be recog¬ nized for their spirit and leadership. From the Class of 1977, good luck and keep the Girard “fightin’ spirit.” 57 73j s Jj s JJ3 First Ron): R. Bohner, T. Jenkins, C. Bassey. Second Ron): J. Czbas, R. Riley, J. Petry. Third Ron): T.

The team had two seniors, one junior, two sophomores and one freshman. Of that group four had played last year. The coach, Mr. Ron¬ ald Quinn, did a fine job in building a determined team. Although the first few matches were short-handed, the team perservered and put forth its best effort. The rest of the season picked up and the year concluded with one of the better seasons for tennis at Girard. 59 SOCCER BASKETBALL TRACK Aron, G 74, 75, 76 Beverley, E. 77 Bishop, D. 75 Beyerle, R. 74, 75, 76 Bishop, D. 76 Bond, A. 75, 76 Dalantinow, B. 74, 75, 76 Hook, L. 74, 75, 76 Reed, W. 75, 76 Glusco, J. 74, 75, 76 Howell, R. 74, 75, 76 Ulrich, W. 76 Insinger, C. 74, 75, 76 Insinger, C. 75, 76, ’77 Walton, C. 75 Jones, T. 74, 75, 76 Myrick, F. 77 Killeen, T. 75, 76 Walton, C. 74, 75, 76 Lance, H. 75, 76 Oestreich, C. 73, 74, 75, 76 Preston, R. 74, 75, 76 SWIMMING Bishop, D. 74 TENNIS Hicks, T. 74, 75, 76 Lance, H. 76 Oestreich, C 74, 75, 76 Saunders, G. 74, 75, 76 Saunders, G. 74, 75 Walton, C. 74, 75, 76 Oestreich, C. 76 Zaengle, G. 76 Zaengle, G. 74, 75, 76 BASEBALL CROSS COUNTRY Aron, G- 76 Bond, A. 76 Belsito, D. 75, 76 Masters, M. 76 Beyerle, R. 73 Dalantinow, B. 76 WRESTLING Glusco, J. 75, 76 Hicks, T. 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 Howell, R. 75, 76 Preston, R. 74, 75, 76, 77 Insinger, C. 76 Ulrich, W. 75, 76, 77 Newman, E. 76 Zaengle, G. 75 Preston, R. 75 f ®f)f) € € €)€
