Haverford School - Haligoluk Yearbook (Havertown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1956 volume:

This Book Belonged To James G. Klopfenstein Donated in his Memory V I THE HALIGCLUK THE HAVER FORD SCHOOL Haverford, Pennsylvania Presented by the HALIGOLUK staff of the CLASS of 1956 DEDICATION Charles P. Dethier has been with the Haverford School since 1938, excepting the four years which he spent in the Army during World War II. He taught many members of the Class of 1956 in the Junior School and since 1951 has devoted his talents to Fifth Form English, where we felt his influence last year. We have 'also known Mr. Dethier through his many sports activitiesg he has been coach of the squash team since he came to Haverford, and, in the past, he has coached many of the younger teams. In addition to his other interests, Mr. Dethier is faculty advisor to The Index, a position he executes with tact and under- standing. It is with great respect and a true feeling of friendship that the Class of 1956 dedicates its Haligoluk to Charles P. Dethier. APPRECIATION Joseph D. McQuillen came to Haverford as gym coach in the spring of 1933. During the following winter he assumed the coaching of the swimming team - a post which he has filled so well that he is regarded by many to be one of the best swim- ming coaches in the country. The swimming team, however, is not the only school team which re- ceives benefits from Joe's abilities. He serves as trainer for the football team, is a starter for the track team, and does any necessary taping. In this small way, the Class of '56 expresses the entire school's appreciation to Joe McQuillen - a fine friend and a thoughtful guide. ANOTHER MILESTONE Six years ago, the Haligoluk noted a milestone in the history ofThe Haver- ford School: the completion of the first part of the building plan by which the Board of Directors hopes to have the entire school remodeled in time for the 75th anniversary festivities in 1959. This year, the Haligoluk staff records with pride the completion of the second phase of the plan, the re- construction of the Oaks' so-called because of the magnificent oak trees surrounding the old building. The Oaks suffered two fires, one in 1906, and the other in the 1940,s. Bought with the ground in the early days of the school, the f'Oaks was re-named Crosman Hall, in honor of Charles Crosman, Headmaster ofThe Haverford School from 1884 to 1912, in a dedication ceremony on October 28, 1955. Early in April, 1955, the workers of the F. B. Davis Sons Construction Company began the destruction of the old Oaks and the construction of Crosman Hall. Duringthe summer the work proceeded rapidly until Hurri- cane Diane struck. Due to the time lost in repairing the damage done by the storm, the workmen did not com- plete the job until shortly after the beginning of the new school year. Styled in the colonial Williamsburg manner of the Ryan Memorial Gym- nasium, the finished product is indeed a strikingly beautiful edifice. The outside walls of the new building are of red brick and the gabled roof is cov- ered with black asphalt shingles. A good percentage of the outside surface of the building is taken up by windows. ln contrast with the exterior of Crosman Hall, the inside is designed in very modern style. The corridors with their Kentile floorings and mild- ly arched ceilings are both practical and aesthetic. The class rooms are spacious and well -lighted, unlike those of the old Oaks, In every class room, the majority of one wall is taken up by windows. In addition, those rooms contain many square feet of bulletin board and blackboard space. The rooms, painted in pastel colors, impress the visitor as light and airy. The building contains many other features . T he new wood-working shop is a great improvement over the old one in the basement of Wilson Hall. The new room is much larger and lighted by windows on two sides. The new addition to the school also con- tains a ladies room, a faculty room, a spacious locker room, a large, mod- ern rest room, the assembly room, and the cafeteria. The assembly room is much larger than the old one, it has a 300-person capacity and is a long, wide, rather low room with windows along one side, and it is separated from the cafeteria by a folding door. The cafeteria has beenlengthened, repainted, and provided with framed prints on the walls. The addition of background music is under consider- tion. Altogether, the new building has had a splendid effect on the appear- ance of the school plant, and it is an outstanding example of the ever- increasing growth and activity of the school. .g.1, 'H Leslie R. Severinghuus: English, 19295 Headmaster, l942. The Hec:dmaster's Message This message to the Class of 1956 is being written during the Christmas vacation. Like everyone else, I am peculiarly aware of the blessings of friendship that are so richly apparent at this glad season. Iam reminded that we all have a tendency, because of the pressures of life, to neglect our friends until some special occasion brings us again into contact with them. This, it seems to me, is unfortunate. We should make particular effort at all times to cultivate our friendships. A letter today, a phone call tomorrow, a surprise visit when we pass through some city -there are hundreds of little opportunities to show our regard and affection for friends. We make so little use of these opportunities. As you go off to college, you separate from most of your schoolmates. They will go their ways and you will go yours. Some of them have meant a great deal to you during the past several years. You could mean much to one another in the years that lie ahead. Unless, however, you resolve now to keep in touch with them, the years will place a natural barrier between you, and a great and good value will have been discarded. You will increasingly appreciate that happiness in life comes almost en- tirely from association with others. Although you will always be meeting new people, some of whom will become and remain good friends, most of them will be acquaintances. Real friends are few. I would urge you to cherish and nurture those particular school friendships that have meaning to you. Don't let them slip into discard. The occasional alumni reunion will not recapture that early relationship. Once it gets away from you, it seldom returns. Although, in the present fullness and excitement of your life, this doeSn't seem to make much sense, it will fifteen years from now. As Polonius remarks to Laertes, Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried, grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel. O R S ' ' 1 00 DAVID C. BEVAN, Jr. Idlewild Road Gladwyne, Pa.

Stewart, FOURT The class of 1958 has always been outstanding for its school spirit, its loyalty, and its participation in school activities. Last September, the members of our class, for the most part, began to study with teachers who were new to them. For English, we all had Mr. Evans, under whose tutelage we read X Tale of Two Cities and Julius Caesar, and wrote a lengthy short story, Mr, Smith and Mr. Byerly taught us second year algebra, and, for the first time, each ofus received his own math answer book. This year our elective courses were modern European history, biology, Latin, German, French, and Spanish, On the athletic fields, we had repre- sentatives on most varsity teams, notably soccer and baseball, All other sports were also very popular Morgan.

The class of 1958 was well repre- sented in extracurricular activities, as well. The organizations which were most popular were the Glee Club, the Polemics Society, and the Hoyle Club. However, the school dances and the mad dash to the lunchroom were features enjoyed by most Fourth Formers. Our class officers were Phil Hep- burn, president, Bob Sessions, vice- president, Albert Oehrle, secretary, and Bill Hyland, treasurer, and the class representative on the Student Council was David Rogers. The Fourth Form has certainly had a successful year, and with two more years remaining at Haverford, we look forward to achieving bigger goals in both academic and athletic pursuits. 4 1 113, ir X if Back Row: Arnold, Slobodian, James, Lindsay, Krickl,R.

THIRD FORM Upon entering the Senior School, we Third Formers were made acutely aware of the serious years that lie ahead. Although on occasion we have been caught playing around, a carry- over from previous years,we seem to have found less time for the pranks that formerly delighted us so much. We have certainly taken a big step towards maturity, but a long path still lies ahead before we become mature men. We now realize, however, that this preparation in the field of educa- tion will serve us faithfully in the years to come. Many students appreciate the long- awaited transition to the Upper School because they enjoy the greater liber- ties that are offered them, others who have anticipated more leisure time are displeased with the harder work and subsequently lower grades. Of course, sports have continued to be our favorite pastime, and many ofour number have already excelled. We feel certain that when the time comes for the class of 1959 to head varsity competition, we will give an outstand- ing account of ourselves the Inter- Academic League. This year as before, Mr. Byerly, the faculty advisor for the Third Form, handled the class elections, and the results pleased everyone. Peter Crouse was elected president, Jim Laier vice-president, Barry Mat- lavage secretary, and Tom Worth treasurer. Holding positions on the Student Council this year were Walter Acuff and Chris Harvey. The Third Formers were pleased to find many smoothly functioning organ- izations vying for members. The Third Form French Club and the Out- ing Club became the two most popular clubs among Third Formers , but many boys joined other groups.

Q Q ., I v xy ga , 4- ' f P 5 I ...Y i ' 5 S THE JUNIOR SCHOOL THROUGH THE EYES Our last year in the Junior School was a very good one. Our athletic teams had very successful seasons. The ninety- pound football team was undefeated and untied! There have been many interesting assembly programs. Several times Mr. Fowler from the Museum of Natural His- tory spoke, and John duPont and Sheldon Severinghaus, from the Upper School, gave lectures and brought movies about birds, and slides about beagles. We had many amusing plays. We had a wonder- ful time watching cartoons and movie shorts on the morning of the Christmas Concert, which was abig success. Later, Mr. Law surprised us with tape record- ings of the concert. OF A SIXTH GRADER It was a lot offun preparing for the Gym Exhibition. The Sixth Graders used the parallel bars and the single high bar most of the time! Baseball season started on the first day after Spring Vacation. Most of the Sixth Graders were on the eleven or twelve-year-old teams, and both had successful seasons. We had awonderful time working on the operetta, which this year was The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. We will soon be preparing for the graduation exercises. Most of us will have to buy white pants, but it is worth it, for we all are looking forward to entering the First Forum in its new building, Crosman Hall. In all, it has been a wonderful year in the Junior School. Standing: Mr. Kingham, since 1929 English and Mathematics Mr. Bening, 1941, Mathe matics. Mr. Law, 1945, Music.

Hughes, Clements, Elsom, Tobin, G. Blythe. The Index, the school's monthly newspaper, has completed another harassing year of publication under the brilliant but erratic co-editorship of Rex Clements, Kendall Elsom, and William Hughes, the supervision of the faculty advisor, Mr. Dethier, and the frequent advice of the self-appointed Board of Censors. This year, the news sheet employed the Olney Printing Company, whose Messrs. Cohen - senior and junior - often barely managed to keep their patience with the editors. The Index owes its popularity among the student body to its two columns - Crow's Nest and Sports Chatter. This year, the old Crow was brought to life by David Bevan, Peter Scott, Charles Hawks, John Master, and Christopher Smith. Across the crease from the Crow, Sports Chatter ' ' was scintillating- ly composed by Harry Montague and Thomas Stewart. Gregory Tobin, some- what of a sport himself, was sports editor. George Blythe handled the duties of circulation managerg Roger Neuman served ef- ficiently as photographer, while Peter Kane and Oscar Goodman submitted their jocose drawings for '1- publication. Due credit must be given to Mr. Dethier, without whose as- sistance the Index could not have succeeded. 5 D Back Row: Hatch, S. Carter, Hunt, Large, Kreitler, F. Wilkinson, Scull, J.

HOYLE CLUB The Hoyle Club is composed of students who desire to promote a serious and progressive interest in games of superior skill, such as bridge, chess, and checkers. Fortified by this year's overpowering membership the club was able to form a chess team and a bridge team. David Mcllvaine, Donald Glynn, Gordon Large, and Martin Hatch comprised an invincible chess team which had matches with Radnor, Baldwin, Penn Charter, and Friends Central. The bridge team was composed of William Ewing and Christopher Smith, with Stephen Vehslage as an alternate. Several new games were introduced during the administration of Donald Glynn, who was president, David Mcllvaine, who was vice-president, and Gordon Large, who was secre- tary-treasurer. Mr. Sensenig, club ad- visor and an expert at all games of superior skill, led the club through the hazards of a rough season. .v'.- - ww--'.' it -X 1 if-14' Ye?:2:?',eZ't'S ..,.3 1 f H ' ,..J'!f,y,F Z 3 X i ,. , my 'w tf- -'rm f it arg ,Tn 44140, A4511 A' 72 mtg? 3 L: i ig ' , G 4. :pq 91 gmxxx W Q ' ?

SERVICE CLUB 1955-56 was one of the most suc- cessful years in Service Club history. With Mr. Haviland as faculty advisor, William Hughes as president, Harry Montague, vice-presidentg Thomas Stewart, secretary, and Thomas Russell and Peter Ward, co-treasurers, the Haverford School's charitable organization ac- complished a great deal. The club sponsored two drives dur- ing the course of the year -one for the March of Dimes and the other for the United Fund. For its out- standing work in the latter campaign, the school received an award of merit. The Service Club's members are also responsible for the management of the jigger shop, which this year sold scarves and book covers in addition to a large assortment of candy. The club made a profit of over S200 dollars from this enter- prise and distributed half the money to twenty-one charities, including foreign and local groups. The rest of the money maintains a balance for next year. In November, two of the members witnessed the functioning of an or- ganization which the club supports. Albert Oehrle and Russell Stevens were guests of the United Fund on an inspection tour of some of the Fund's welfare programs in Phila- delphia. The Service Club should be com- mended for its diligence and un- selfish work, and, at the same time, every member should feel proud of the aid he has helped give to those less fortunate than ourselves. 3 P 1 Mid ,,m,,.,, L-,M its f Duncan, Chase, Schmidt-Hidding, Cordon, Mr. Allen, Ewing, Oser, Cushrnore, Brodhead, Stahl. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club, ably directed by Mr. Allen, followed last year's plan of action. The club was made up of members of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Forms. Reports on current events, delivered at each of the meetings, were followed by dis- cussion periods. The officers of the club are elected to a one semester term. For the first half of the year, Charles Brodhead was president, Thomas Chase was vice-president, and John Mudd was program chairman. The post of secretary was occupied by Lawrence Buell in the first term, and by William Ewing in the second term. At mid-year, Wolfgang Schmidt-Hidding was elected presi- dent, Thomas Chase was again voted in as vice-president, and Ingolf Stahl took over as program chairman. Special reports give the members a chance to keep abreast of the events in the world, and along with the knowledge of current happenings, all the members acquire experience in speaking. This year the club was in the en- viable position of having all four of the school 's foreign students as mem- bers. Global affairs assumed a greater degree of realism when nar- rated and commented upon by these European boys. The high point in the club's year came in December, when a delega- tion went to the United Nations in New York. The group, consisting of Stahl, Chase, and Ewing, witnessed meetings of several committees of the U.N., and, after their return, they reported their observations to the club.

Through numerous debates and extemporaneous speech- es, the members of the club can im- prove their poise and delivery, so that they will be able to talk freely and easily in later life. Under the able guidance of Mr. Evans, the 20-odd boys that comprised the Polemics Society have worked throughout the year to master this ability to speak in public. At the start of the initial semester, the club's officers were John Mudd, president, James Weiss, vice-president, Robert Gordon, sec- retary, and David Litton, treasurer. At the end of the first semester, however, Richard Ledwith, Litton, Gordon, and Albert Oehrle were SOCIETY elected as the new staff. The Pole- mics Society has always held its elections at midyears so that the president will have had some valuable experience for running the organiza- tion the next year. As has been the custom in pre- vious years, the Polemics Society held an extemporaneous speaking contests in the second semester for its members, and the finalists ap- peared in an assembly program. Al- though this annual affair was the only special program that the club undertook, the effectiveness of the Polemics Society must not be under- estimated, for all its members, by participating in the debates held at the club's meetings, gained exper- ience and confidence in public speak- ing that will be invaluable to them in their later years.

Reed, Ledwithg Mitchellg Under the capable direction of Mr. Law, this year's Glee Club over- came the handicap of inexperience to turn into a very good choral group. In preparation for the most ambi- tious schedule he has ever under- taken at Haverford, Mr. Law worked long and hard throughout the year to train his singers. On December 11 and 13, the Glee Club warmed up for their annual Christmas Concert by singing at the Valley Forge Memorial Chapel and at Upper Merion High School, respec- tively. The Christmas program it- self took place on December 16 and proved to be a great success. One of the most difficult and most popu- lar numbers sung was The Mass of the Holy Nativity, an Anglican Communion service. The playing of violinist Wolfgang Schmidt-Hidding, accompanied on the piano by Frederic Carter, also contributed greatly to the evening's enjoyment. As soon as the winter holidays were over, the Glee Club concentra- ted on preparing for the greatest single choral program in its history, the Elijah, an oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn.

Shipley, Irwin, and Hill schools, the Haverford Glee Club presented the Elijah on April 21 in the gymnasium. The oratorio was sung by four pro- fessional soloists as well as the com- bined glee clubs of the five schools. Mr. Harold Gilbert, who directs the Mendelssohn Club chorus, conducted the singers, and accompaniment was supplied by four pianos and an organ. This colossal program was a great success, inspiring to the per- formers as well as the audience. On May 5, the Glee Club sang at St. Mary's Hall, continuing their series of concerts with that school. Although their schedule was long and exacting, the Glee Club success- fully undertook everything they en- countered, and the 70-odd boys that comprised the organization felt that their hard work was well worthwhile. Mr. Law deserves great credit for the success of his singers. Patient and persevering, he brought the boys through the toughest year in their history and coordinated a small, in- experienced group of students into a fine chorus. M- . Standing: T. Geer, R. Wilkinson, Cassedy, Hawks, F. Carter, Dyer, Elsom, Ledwith, Ward, Clements, jay Allen, Eberhard. Seated: Mr. Law. The Three Fours, Haverford's original small singing group, is made up of boys who are selected from the Glee Club in competitive tryouts. This year, ten boys were picked to join the two returning members, Jay Allen and Kendall Elsom. James Cassedy, Taggert Geer, and Richard Wilkinson were chosen to fill the first tenor section, and Frederic Carter, Wallace Dyer, and Charles Hawks were second tenors. Richard Ledwith and Peter Ward joined vet- eran baritone Kendall Elsom, and Richard Eberhard and Rex Clements sang bass along with Jay Allen. During the Christmas season, the Three Fours joined with the Apollos in singing carols at two hospitals, several men's clubs, and a home for the aged. The spring season began with the combined groups singing at the Valley Forge Chapel on Easter Sunday, fol- lowed by an appearance in the Tri- County Concert, held at Radnor High School. The members were also oc- cupied in singing at various churches, schools, and hospitals. In all, these singers learned about thirty numbers , consisting of spiritual, light classi- cal, and popular songs. Standing: Sloan, Faunce, Rogers, R. West, Buell, Ballard, W. Sinkler, C. Smith, O. West, Dop, Hyland, Kane, Riter. Seated: Mr. Law. The Apollos were formed in 1953 by boys from the Glee Club who wanted to sing in a small group. this year, the Apollos had fourteen members. The first tenors were John Faunce, Peter Rea, David Rogers, and Van Sloan, Alan Ballard, Lawrence Buell, and Ralph West were second tenors. The baritone section was filled by Wharton Sinkler, Christopher Smith, and Olin West. The basses were Peter Dop, William Hyland, Peter Kane, and Bankson Riter. This year's only returning member, Ted Riter was elected president of the organization. The Apollos combined with the Three Fours for the Christmas season, and again in April, when the two groups won a competition and Sang at the Tri-County Concert. The two songs presented at this concert were Gloria and Little Innocent Lamb. During the year, the Apollos managed to build up a sizable repertoire and were very successful at dances, concerts, and outside events. POLLOS K . Q... ag: iii , E 5.51, , M ..

The committee members took turns in leading assembly every day except Monday, when the Head- master led the morning exercises. As an attempt to brighten the morning assembly, committee members led the way in preparing novel programs and in presenting interesting regular features, such as the well-known Thought for Today. In conjunction with Mr. Austin, the committee chose speakers for the long Thursday assemblies. Lead- ing men in professions such as law, medicine, engineering, selling, and news reporting gave talks aimed at helping students make up their minds on future careers. The speakers were excellent this year, and their topics lively. Perhaps the most profitable aspect of the speeches was that time set aside afterward to permit aques- tion and answer period. This was the second year in the series of speeches by members of the various professions. si'Sx-Qsbww 'gamma , YR ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE .-I '.',u . .'

At club meetings, which are held every two weeks, slides or motion pictures of some particular phase of natural science are shown. Every member must have a specific project with which he becomes completely familiar. At some time during the year, he delivers to the club a lecture on his subject. During this year, the club made sev- eral field trips in Search of more com- -1 B plete knowledge of their topics of study. ' ,I . N Two of the most interesting trips were , If T -U to Hawk Mountain Wild Life Sanctuary ' and to the wildlife preserve on Tinicum ' ' Island in the Delaware River.

EDISCN SOCIETY The purpose of the Edison Society is to further the interest and knowledge of students in the field of science. This year, for the first time in its history, the club was composed only of General Science students. About eighteen students made up the membership, and all meet- ings and functions of the club were well attended. The activities of the club consisted of meetings in Mr. Sensenig's physics lab plus two trips to nearby scientific sights. The biweekly meetings were spent listen- ing to a member talk on a specific scientific subject. Motion pictures on pertinent subjects added greatly to the enjoyment of the meetings. The year's first trip was a tour through Philadel- phia's Franklin Institute. As a direct result of this interesting tour, five ofthe students became members of the Frank- lin Institute. In the Spring, most of the club members went through a nearby paper mill and watchedthe whole process of manufacturing wood pulp into finished paper. President of this freshman organiza- tion was Stewart Furlong, while Thomas Worth was vice-president, and John Allen was secretary. N. Fitler, J. Arscott, Connaughton, Mr. Cottshall, E.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Last year, the Class of '58 organized the Third Form Photography Club. This year the membership was expanded to include the upper four forms. The club continued to hold its meetings in the chemistry laboratory and the adjoining darkroom. In order to encourage the members to take betta'-r pictures, the club sponsored several photography contests during the year. Some of the better pictures were published in the Index and the Haligoluk. As a result of these contests, the mem- bers increased their knowledge and skill in taking pictures. During the meetings, the students presented their findings and discussed new photographic methods and ideas. The club officers, who ran the club under Mr. Gottshall's supervision, were President Philip Hepburn, Vice-Presi- dent Edward Nixon, and Secretary- Treasurer Gordon Large. This year marked the sixtieth anni- versary of the founding of the Dramatic Club, the oldest organization in the school. As is customary, the club pro- duced a group of three one-act plays in December, and a drama in March. The first of the three one-act plays put on in December was Love Arrant, a comedy with Peter Kane, Christopher Smith, and the female leads taken by Judith Connor, Susan Kulp and Judith Jayne from the Baldwin School. The second play, The Trysting Place, featured Peter Ward and Baldwin's Tay- lor Barnett. The last ofthe one-act plays was The Valiant, with Wallace Dyer, Lawrence Iwan, Rex Clements, and, from Baldwin, Patricia Hughes. The club's director, Mr. Robert U. Jameson, did his usual competent job of picking actors from the available supply, and proceeded to coordinate their talents and efforts toward the completion of a triumphant dramatic season. In the March play, specialty acts, different from ordinary acting, came under his direction. Two male groups, one skilled in barbershop harmony and the other well practiced in chorus line dancing entertained the audience during inter- missions. Aiding Mr . Jameson were the president Bankson Riter, the vice-president, Mr. Black, and the treasurer, Mr. Repetto. The secretary was Alan Ballard,and Rex Clements was the business manager.

It strives to build up a wholesome school spirit and to encourage all worthwhile ac- tivities around the school. The society this year, as in past years, has initiated no drastic re- forms, and is therefore not as con- spicuous as other clubs which have a more tangible set of duties to carry out. However, working behind the scenes, the Signet Society has been, in part, responsible for the success of functions of other organizations. For example, this year's Signet Society furnished volunteer ushers for the March Play and the Glee Club's performance of the Elijah. It also helped in the sale of tickets for this year 's Inter-Academic Dance and took the lead in presenting ideas before the Senior Class for an appropriate class gift. Continuing its policy of being a Senior honor society in which mem- bers ofthe Senior Class are reward- ed for their contributions to the school, the Signet held a spring pic- nic for all Society members on the spacious grounds of Richard Jones' farm. Members, in previous years, were generally elected into the Society at the rate of three per month. This year, however, elections were not held until January, at which time a mass election was held to choose nine members. This change in voting procedure proved successful in that almost every boy in the Senior Class cast a ballot in the election. The officers of the Signet Society were Kendall Elsom, Rex Clements, and William Hughes. 1 ,V , 0 Y .. I ssifqf .QL ,i . , lg Q 1 , Tobin, Hawks, Weiss, Mudd, Howe. CUM LAUDE SOCIETY In April, 1955, Charles Hawks, Samuel Howe, John Mudd, Gregory Tobin, and James Weiss were chosen as members of the Cum Laude Society. These five boys, all top students, formed the nucleus of Haverford Schoo1's chapter of this national honor society. The illustrious members of this small group had few real duties arising from membership in Cum Laude. They met only rarely as a body, and then only for general discussion or for a trip to the Philadelphia area annual meeting, How- ever, each of the boys was active in school af- fairs, Charles Hawks was a member of the Three 'f ,.

STUDENT COUNCIL This year, the Student Council strived to improve school life rather than spend its time as a disciplinary body. In January, the Council sponsoreda gripe session for their fellow students. As a result of this conference, the students got a chance to air their opinions of all facets of the school, and the administration got a true insight of the feelings of the student body. One of the immediate results of the gripe session was the establishment of a nine man committee to serve as proctors every period in the second floor library. The Student Council periodically sent representatives to meetings ofthe Inter- Academic Student Council. This group, '-Noam ' l comprised of student government mem- lg'6ifQi.H ,Q ' V bers in nearby schools, has as an aim Q 2 F more harmonious inter-school relations.

OUTING CLUB The 1955-56 Outing Club started off well last fall, but soon after the year's first trip Mr. Rugg, suspended trips until the 'faculty advisor, recovered from an illness. The first trip of the year was to French Creek State Park, where the campers slept on damp U5 ground. Despite this hardship, everyone en- joyed the weekend very much. In February, the club was a guest at John duPont's skating party in News town Square. The club's second overnight was to Hickory Run Park, a favorite camping groimd. Besides these trips, the club sponsored atrap shoot which was most successful, in spite of the poor weather. The club's dues were raised this year to two dollars, and in order to get more active participation, one dollar was returned if the member went on one of the overnights. An active member' as such a fellow was called, was privileged to have adouble vote in the electing next year's offi- cers. This year, the president ofthe Out- ing Club was George Blythe, and its secretary-treasurer was John du- Pont. Back Row: Kreitler, Matlavage, Wagner, Cottshall, Sessions, Hoag, Arscott.

However, this year the club's purpose was to show the relationship between the Latin language and the civilization of its time. Under Dr. Newhall's super- vision, the club members learned much about the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. In conjunction with this field of study, the Latin CLUB Club took trips to the Fels Planet- arium and the University of Penn- sylvania Museum. The club also subscribed to a Latin-language pub- lication, Des Gestae. The officers of the club were Mich- ael Mullins, president, David Litton, vice-president and chairman of pub- lic relations, and Robert Gordon sec- retary. FRENCH CLUB Vehslage, Gottshall, M.

Led by Captain Sandy Tuttle, the team compiled the excellent record of three Wins and one loss in non-Inter Ac games. How- ever, Inter-Ac competition was stiff and the team lost all four games. The wins were against Frankford, Olney High, and P.lVI.C. Prep. Of a squad of about forty boys, Captain Tuttle and Dick Eberhard were the only two returninglettermen. Howeveg,under the experienced guidance of Doc Wal- lace and Coaches Prizer and Parsons, the boys developed into a light and hard- hitting team. The seasons closest and most exciting game came on November 18, when Haver- ford played Penn Charter. During the second quarter after Haverford fumbled several times, Penn Charter scored.

This record tied the team for third place with Penn Charter in the Inter-Ac League. Of a squad of overthirty-five boys who assembled on September 7, there were ten returning lettermen. Led by Captain Mudd, the boys soon turned from abunch of footloose freebooters into a highly organized and well trained team. This is illustrated by the five shutouts of the season, which were made against Germantown High, West Philadelphia High, George School, Moorestown Friends, and Germantown Academy. On November 17, the last game of the season was played with Friends Central there. It was probably the most heartening game ofthe season, for before the half was over the Big Red was well in the lead. During the half-time pep talk, Coach Smith cautioned the boys not to tally up too great a score. The game ended with a score of 8 for the Big Red and 1 for Friends Central. During the season, several members of the team have distinguished them- selves individually for their ability in soccer. John Mudd and Steve Vehslage both earned positions on the All-Phila- delphia second soccer team. They also made the All-Inter-Ac first team. Sam Dixon and Alfred Rauch were on the All- Inter-Ac second teamg Don Shaffer won All-Inter-Ac Honorable Mention. Richie Jones won the Dowling Cup, and John Mudd earned the much-coveted Ex- Soccer Captain's Award. Under next year's co-captains, Vehslage and Rauch, Coach Harry Smith can look forward to another season of fine soccer playing. Back Row: Mr. Heyward, Mr. Smith. Second Row: R. Morris, Rauch, D.

Despite the ' ' expert coaching of Mr. Prizer and the NOVEMBER 28 58 seasoned leadership of Captain Tuttle, 29 Norristown 53 the team lost the first six games of the DECEMBER Mme ii 69 season. Fortunately, however, the team 2 3003 Darby io 56 did not give up hope and continued to ff, Srrhon Gum M 57 strive for victory. They practiced hard 13 Bartrcm 36 75 during the Christmas Recess and worked l6 sf. Joseph 46 constantly for better coordination. Their JANUARY 0 Mmm., Prev 52 33 efforts and long hours spent in practice 3 Il?:LnndsCen1rol 15 65 combined to earn several successes 3 Lowwncevallzcadn M 33 for the team.

Ted 52 14 - ul Penn C L Z - Krick won the greatly coveted William Neely Memorial Princeton Award for the player who shows the greatest in- terest and the most outstanding ability during the season. Some underclass- men who saw a great deal of action were Ted Rauch, Olin West, Jerry Aldrich, and Don Shaffer. One of the most exciting games of the season was the Malvern game. ln a tightly fought see-saw battle, Malvern who had previously defeated us, lost by the score of 50-54. In another exciting contest, although we were tied 20-20 at the half, we came out ahead of the very strong Penn Charter fiveg the final score was 61-53 in favor of the Fords. The team elected Ted Rauch to head the boys next year, and with the nucleus of experienced players that he will have to lean on, next year's basketball squad should compile an even better record than this year's.

The grap- plers captured the Inter-Ac League title for the sixth consecutive year and, in post season competition, won the Epis- copal lnvitation Tournament, also for the sixth straight time. This year's varsity squad had 13 members: Phil Burnham at 95 pounds, Jim Eaton, 103, Albert Oehrle, 112, Cliff Keevan, 123, Captain John Mudd, 127, Tag Geer, 133, Tom Webster, 1389 Frank Manno, 138, Tom Russell, 1545 Fred Marzullo and Ted Wagner, 165, Dick Eckfeldt, 175, and John Deitrick, heavyweight. Both Oehrle and Mudd were undefeated throughout the year, but the latter won all his matches and copped the coveted wrestling trophy awarded annually to the ffgrapplerff who scores the most points during regular season meets. Dick Eckfeldt, receiving an award for his outstanding work as a first year man, gained possession of the alligator trophy, which has never been given before tor sincel. This year, as in recent winters, the big event for the wrestlers was the Episcopal Invitation Tournament, which took place on March 2-3 at the Palestra. Nine high schools, including every Inter- Ac team, participated , and, as they had for the five previous years, Haverford won. The Fords piled up 74 points,com- pared to second place Penn Charterys 46. Albert Oehrle, Cliff Keevan, John Mudd, Tag Geer, and John Deitrick captured first places in their weight classes, while Phil Burnham,Jim Eaton, and Frank Manno won seconds and Dick Eckfeldt came through with a fourth place. With this decisive win, the grap- plers closed their season, thus com- pleting another year of fine wrestling.

The season's first three contests were easy victories. However, the Hill School ended the streak with a decisive 57-20 win. Haverford's only firsts were by Cannon in the dive, and Mulligan, who swam the 200 yard free- style in 2:04.9. After sinking Germantown Academy, the team traveled to West Point to face the Plebes, who went under with little trouble, due to the efforts of David Mellvaine Q2:05.5 in the 200J and Ed Mulligan t54.6 in the 100 yard free- stylej. The next meet was a breather, as the Fords trounced the visiting Northeast High School, 66-11. Then came Lawrenceville, Lmdefeated in prep or high school dual competition since 1946. The visitors had great strength in the initial. events, and the Fords soon found themselves behind 24-3. However, starting with a first and second in the baekstroke, Haverford fin- men took the next four individual events. Then came the medley relays, which Haverford won with a record-breaking 1:53.8, thanks to Captain Brodhead's SWIMMING V S WIMMING SCHEDULE 1955. Charles S 56 - W. B gfffgie W.

This tied the score at 35-35, but Lawrenceville's power-packed freestyle relay broke another record, winning in 1:37.9 to take the meet, 42-35. The swimmers won the three final dual meets of the season. In the Interscholastics at Princeton, seven individuals and both relay teams qualified for the finals. In the 200 yard freestyle, David Mcllvaine turned in a tremendous performance to take a second place, and Gay Hopkins took a sixth. Haverford was the only school out of 58 which copped a first and second in one event. This was done by Eisenbray and Captain-elect Girvin in the backstroke. Ed Mulligan finished a fine season by capturing a second in the 100 yard freestyle, in which John Haslett placed sixth. Ollie Cannon finished fifth in the dive, and Hopkins, our youngest and only double qualifier, was sixth in the individual medley.

Although they lost, 2-3, to Haver- ford High on April 3, in a game in which Robert Sherrod was robbed of a home run through the umpire's error, the squad came back to win their next two contests, both against Inter- Academic foes. Three days after their initial defeat, the Fords swamped Friends Central, 25-0, Captain Sandy Tuttle helping the cause with a grand slam home run. On April 10 the varsity overcame Penn Charter, 4-0, in atre- mendous upset over Oliver Powers, who has dominated the league for the last few seasons. B2-:cause of the team's fine showing against Inter-Ac opponents, coaches and players alike had high hopes for the season.

Playing singles were Howe, Tobin, Vehslage, and Gordon in that order. Playing first doubles were Mudd and Mitchell, and second doubles were G. West and R. Howe. The team hoped for their fifth straight Inter-Academic League tennis title this year. Early season hopes were en- couraged by the team's winning its first three matches. Because of the fine calibre of its men, the racket-men ex- pect to duplicate the fine records made in past seasons. Captain Howe E . Q an-vs I Triple fault Hyland returns ball.

TRACK Although the track team was not ex- pected to do well this year, it has sur- prised everyone by winning its first two meets. The team, led this year by co-cap- tains Richie Jones and Wharton Sinkler, has been strengthened by several boys who are new to the school and others who have worked up through the ranks. Most notable of the new boys are: Wolfgang Schmit-Hidding in the mileg Peter Dop in the broad jump, high jump, and the mileg Larry Iwan in the half-mileg and Tom Sylk in the 220 and 100 yeard dash. Norrie Eisenbrey looks very good in the high jurnpg Charlie Olson and Ed Mulligan both look well in the shot put. Morris Swope, who has come up from the junior track team, is doing well in the 100 and 220 yard dashg Sam Dixon is doing well in the hurdles. With this depth in his team, Coach Doc Wallace had every hope for a win- ning season. Captains Sinkler ond Jones A The Flying Dutchman ws' , vm' .

This year's golf team had a great deal of rebuilding to do in order to meet its stiff schedule. Mr. Lupton, last year's coach, was unable to coach the team this year due to a tight per- sonal schedule, and the boys were forced to find a new coach. Luckily, Mr. Austin volunteered for the job. The team, led by Dave Bevan, Ken Elsom, and Captain Murray, had quite a satisfactory season. Manno, Lipsky, Reed, and Gerdelman filled the rest of the starting positions. The highlights of the season were the matches against Hill School, Lawrence- ville, and Penn Charter. Every year the golf team tours the Main Line Golf Courses in an effort to get in shape. Among the courses used by the Pros', are the St. David's Golf Course and Spring Mill Golf Course.

In train- ing for the Philadelphia Schoolboy Championships on May 5, the Stotesbury Cup Regatta on the 19th of the same month, and the National Schoolboy Championships, held in Poughkeepsie, New York, on May 25 and 26, the squad worked out six, sometimes seven days a week at the Undine Barge Club. This year's crew was led by Captain Robert Harvey, and other returning rowers include Wallace Dyer, Thomas Russell, Peter Rea, and Charles Barclay. Since a great number of eager newcomers, many of whom showed promise, came out for the team, the coach and boys were optimistic about their chances of success in their three regattas.
