DAY r ‘‘All the worlds a stage. And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts Lansdowne High School is our stage, and all those associated with it are the players in our drama. Our school is the scene of countless comic and tragic roles played by each and every one of us, members of a well-drilled cast giving daily performances ranging i- ■ m m m m mm iai ■ P ■ ■ ■ « n,f“rMW iwiii p 9 AND NIGHT 3 9 I 9 from dress rehearsals to brilliant opening nights. Perhaps we should call ourselves The Lansdowne High School Stock Company, for we are only preparing ourselves for greater triumphs on larger stages. Thus we practice long hours under the encouraging guidance of our directors who impart to us their valuable knowledge acquired in the great drama of life. The faithful producers, our parents, patient and understanding, have long awaited the step we are about to take, the step to the great stage of life. • - y 'w w fw IW - r 'ffl lr? DEDICATION 9 9 9 9 A dedication Is a reverent thought. It is a halt-blown rose Of highest admiration born, With greatest praise endued. Upon this living, human stage Life's drama silently slips on and on. The scenes of joy and sorrow, exultation and remorse Combine and mingling fade into the mists of time. Above our stage, on heights far, far beyond our plane Majestically there rises one whose hand Forever clasps the hand of smiling muse. To her, we humbly dedicate our book—to Helen Hayes.

I fl A .« A M M .fl.fl fl f ft ff .ff � BJULfLBLJLflLfl TA-RAN-TA-RAH The actors are in their places, the lights dim, and the curtain sweeps upward disclosing our stirring drama. Time—Any school day in 1938. Place—In and about Lansdowne High School. Act One—School in session. Chief Stage Hand John Hefner raises the curtain on another performance. As in the Age of Elizabeth, the appearance of the flag is the signal that the theater is ready to offer its serio-tragic-comedy. Our hero, Lanny Downes is driven forth from the warm security of his humble home. Waving to his mother is Henry Pechstein. Below him are Bill Huttinger, Ken Bauder, Don Bender. Chivalrous Bill Seal opens the main door for Alice Miller, Bob McKee, Wallace Zuber, Wes Lewis, Anne Cheyney, Gertrude Sullings, Emil Mathis, Catherine Padula, Dick Lafferty. Lanny hurriedly gathers the latest back-stage news from our billboards. At the soccer section are Nonie Duhring and Josephine Kelley. To the left are Patsy Col-gan, Bob Speers, Ed Fennerty. At the sound of the late bell, Lanny hurries to his place in home room to ferry Caesar across the Rubicon, to write a theme, or to bisect a few angles before the daily de-votionals. Miss Lindenmuth leads her wideawake home room in flag salute. These long lines lines wait expectantly on Tuesdays and Thursdays for our entertaining assemblies. Interesting speakers, from without and within our school, thrilling or educational moving pictures, short plays, musical programs moke up the majority of the assemblies. A new tradition is having a senior boy on the stage to announce the speakers and a senior girl to lead in the devotionals. This new custom will help our seniors achieve poise and self-confidence on the stage. Twenty Some of the year's most outstanding assembly programs were: Norman Powell, the African explorer; our own Mr. Spurgeon B. Wuertenberger talking on Egypt; the two plays given by the dramatics classes: the chorus from the Overbrook School for the Blind; the program given by our orchestra combined with the Upper Darby orchestra; the Lincoln quartet; and Mr. C. Emerson Brown from the Philadelphia Zoo. Here we see assembly in full session—or should we say full swing? It's the L. H. S. hit parade, Thelma Hahn vocalizing with swing commentators Young and Lafferty seated on the side. Below, the Lansdowne band listens enthusiastically from the pit, while the student body reclines attentively. Mr. Corbin's raised baton calls for attention. Our well-trained orchestra responds. Violins, violas, cellos, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets, horns, trombone, string basses, piano, tympani, fill the air with magic. Lanny Downes passes from class to class. Here are Janet Whit-combe and Virginia Westburgh ascending to Biology class. Bob Beck passes on his way to Trigonometry. Period II, Senior English class and Miss McCullough watch Berford Tomlinson, Ed Pollock, and Jack Muldoon acting in Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth. Our well-stocked library with occupants quiet and busy. Marianne Donohue stamps Geraldine Sponga's library slip; Miss Sheafer watches the far end of the room. A free pass admits George Car-nall and Walter McDermond to an exclusive interview with Principal Abbott. Sometimes Lanny goes haywire, but it's all in fun. Mr. Corbin inspires the chorus to excellent singing. Sopranos, altos, tenors, basses, blend in The Bells of Saint Mary. The accompanist is Ruth Baumann. Mr. Kraber and Gordon Duncan probably settled this traffic violation outside of court. Yes, Lanny Downes sometimes runs between classes without benefit of French horn. Mr. Tammeryn, hard-working and efficient, presides over a Sophomore wood shop class. To the left, Dukes and, to the right, Donovan polish end-tables. ’fZ.Tfi 5 A scene familiar to all students, the girls' athletic field through the broad windows of study hall 37. In this well-known, much-used room, me wide-awake students hurry to finish homework; less ambitious ones sleep; and teachers grow old a bit sooner. Feature attractions are, £ of course, the Lansdowne ladies with gym suits and hockey sticks. The green-clothed or autumn painted trees and the familiar houses frame a never-ending picture of fall soccer and hockey games, band mr maneuvers before football games, baseball practice in the spring. •r To the right of the field are the tennis courts, well-kept and well-used by future Tildens and Moodys. Some day, Lansdowne High School students will look across the familiar field to an imposing new Junior High School. t : The use and abuse of study hall. There is Ramsay on the trail of another A and an unknown, snoozing. Mary Cross ponders over a difficult German translation; the others seem just as studious. J.

Popular are Dr. Ewan's Arno, our mascot, and Mr. Coronway's Larry. A general view of study hall 37 with a specific example of our decorative genius at Christmas time. A few bits of tinsel, an abundance of original ideas, some fresh greens, and warm greetings transform dullness into real beauty. The five-dollar first prize was won by home room 28, the old English inn. Room 22, beautiful with its greens and candles, won second honors. Each Christmas, the girls' Hi-Y decorates the main hall, puts trees and wreaths in the auditorium.

Yes. We have emptied the school entirely in one and a half minutes and are proud of the record. Each month the show is interrupted while Lanny proves his efficiency and gets some fresh air. Embryo lawyers, effective speakers, future politicians learn to debate under the tutelage of Mr. Drake. From left to right we see Mr. Drake, Powers, Stanton, Patterson, Fitzgerald, Herold, Sharpe, Finn, Lippincott, Heussner, Schmidt, Kane, Cryer, Stiffler, Braun, Pile, Wilson.

Sophomores and Seniors learn about plants, processes, bacteria, in Mr. Epley's instructive Biology class and afternoon conference periods.

A typicol family problem was solved in The Unicorn and the Fish' for our entertainment in a fall assembly. Cast, left to right: Dorothea Kearney, Stanley Young, Henry Pechstein, Donald Bender, Audrey Malcolm. This was the production of the Senior Dramatics' Class. The assembly is often enlivened by the work of the three dramatics' classes.

The operetta, Hansel and Gretel, was presented on the fourth by the elementary classes; on the fifth the Junior High, with the Freshman Chorus and High School B band, gave their program; while on the sixth the high school chorus, orchestra and band climaxed the events with a varied program. The elementary school was under Miss Fisher, the Junior High under Mr. Fox, and the Senior High under Mr. Corbin. Lanny's friends and family found the programs tops. A scene typical of Juniors and Seniors, known sometimes by Sophomores and but rarely by Freshmen, is this one, enacted by Bob Beck in the late lamp-lighted hours of the day.

Sponsored by The Garden Club of Lansdowne, the girls have transformed the rock pile into one of the outstanding spots of beauty on our campus. On numerous occasions throughout the year, the students have silently praised the Hi-Y for making the class rooms more attractive with bowls of flowers. The National Honor Society started its ninth year with Max Fornwalt as president. This is a high school organization, modeled after the Phi Beta Kappa of colleges, which elects its members on the basis of their scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Election to its membership is the highest honor possible to attain in Lansdowne High School. Complete records ore compiled for each candidate as a basis of judgment for faculty voting. m m m m m m m m m THE BOYS1 Hl-Y First row, seoted: Thompson, Fitzgerald, McKee, Fornwalt; second row, seoted: Gross, Pollock, F.

Lippincott, Cryer, Gardner, Zorn, Liddell. Five years ago Mr. B. Wycliffe Griffin started the Boys’ Hi-Y, and for the past two years it has continued to function under Mr. Lowe. Although its entrance requirements are different from those of the Girls' Hi-Y, it has the same general aim of service. The club has helped maintain a clean and attractive school, has worked in cooperation with the Girls’ Hi-Y in the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets, and in the decoration of the halls at Christmas time. Installation of new members of the Honor Society was held on April 26 by President Max Fornwalt and last year's members: Busier, Beck, Decker, Fox, Hall, Heussner, Sakami, Wilson. New Senior members: Bailey, Gotshall, Griggs, Herold, Lippincott, Marsh, McGuckin, MacMichael, Nussear, Patterson, Pile, Ramsey. Samuels, Sinclair, Strickland, Whitaker, Young; Juniors: Berlin, Hampel. Laws, McCartney, Pike, Schwem, Selby, Winther. The Christmas program displayed here brought us a three star billing. The orchestra played brilliantly A Christmas Fantasy. the chorus rendered carols os only a trained singing group can, and the traditional greetings were read. Here we catch the quintette filling the auditorium melodiously with the magic of Christmas music accompanied by the orchestra. Noel cheer in Lonsdowne. In the unique Christmas assembly program certain students read the warm Yule-tide greetings sent by prominent men and women to our student Council in return for our equally hearty greetings to them, our critic's award to people of note. Since this unusual custom was started, we have received 432 letters and greetings from nationally and internationally famous leaders in the fields of music, science, sports, art, stage and screen, and journalism. To complete the program, a generous portion of music from the orchestra and chorus was added. Nonie Duhring and Alice Miller, the girls in white, introduced each group with a short humorous poem. Good work, Anne Nussear, you deserve those fine marks. Allen Kane looks rather puzzled. We wonder why? Scenes similar to these are enacted four times every year, when report cards appear. ft im mnt wii n n fi.4t.fi.ii n n ti n n ti tr.ti Robert McKee receives his varsity soccer L from Coach William Lowe os our hockey coach, Miss Allen, presents the Most valuable hockey player cup to Jane Haslett.

King, Newcomb, Ramsey in Baseball; McMullin, Fornwalt, McKee, Gallagher, Bender, and Stathem in Tennis; and Kane in Golf. These athletes likewise received the prized senior A. A. awards for their efforts. Critic's award for teachers. Those big, wide smiles on the faces of Mrs. Young and Mr. Drake are brought out by that important little piece of paper, the pay check. See The myriad Cherry blossoms Clustering Like tinted snowflakes Against The Aprii Sky! Although a thin veil of rain consistent!” dimmed the beauty of Washington and frightened off the timid cherry blossoms, the city of many steps lost only a little of its glamor and failed completely to dampen the spirits of our enthusiastic seniors who found a royal welcome wherever they went. Even the Hotel Lafayette, upon learning that its guests harbored a champion trucker, speedily purchased a nickelodian for enjoyment during meals. Likewise, the stage show following Blue Beard's Eighth Wife dedicated one of its songs to us and was suitably rewarded by a chorus of Thanks” from those sitting in one corner of the balcony. Blue Beard helped us laugh away thoughts of our ba-king dogs. Spirits were decidedly soaring upon our exit from the White House, for the lovely fountain seemed to hold a particular fascination for some of the boys, or perhaps they mistook it for Darby Creek. At any rate, an unexpected splashing explained their sudden desire to wade in the gently flowing waters. For by this time we felt a kinship with water; it had poured from the heavens periodically for two days; it had trickled down our backs, splashed our shoes, and scorned our gay colored clothes. Everything was damp except our spirits. It would have taken several hurricanes and a cyclone to drown our rollicking mood stored up by four years of anticipation. We went to town and saw Washington as only a Senior Class can.

Mount Vernon also greeted us with friendship, graciously turning off the rain while our smiling faces were being photographed. Strangely enough some of us seemed to have two smiling faces judging from the class picture. Was this trick photography or just an explanation of the stampede that was heard when the camera pointed at the center of the group? And speaking of cameras we had as many as are in Hollywood on the trip. The snap shots above are some of the fruit of our photographic addicts. Fortunately for posterity many of the candid shots attempted that brought forth shrieks of surprise were ruined by the mantle of block Jupiter Pluvius had hung out in the sky. If we were to dissect the brain of one of the seniors who went to Washington what would we find concerning the wonders of our Capital? Perhaps there would be an imprint of the stately Washington monument, magnificently tall and straight, or endless steps leading to practically any important building of Washington. We might also hear a squawk and see the parrot of the Pan-American building hop out, or be pleasantly surprised by the crinkling and crockling of a thousand new bills from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. A gentle rumbling gradually deepening into a roar would announce a streamline Greyhound bus, a blue-gray streak of color rolling merrily homeward.

The opponents' 328 points over-balanced our lone touchdown by Killer Carnall, on a pass from Zeke' Newcomb, in the last few minutes of the Swarthmore game, and our extra point by Bill Richards, who deserves additional credit. Our J. V. team distinguished themselves by winning a few games. The freshmen practiced faithfully, learning fundamentals under Fred Wetzel and George Schmidt. Coach Smith has reason to expect a considerably better season next year. Ray Lansdowne! L-A-N-S-D-O-W-N-E! Seven energetic, white-clad figures lead a cheering crowd to an even greater enthusiasm. These are our cheer leaders, active in football and basketball seasons, from left to right: Doris Trainer, Frank Fallon, Peggy Wood, Irvin Zorn, June Pizor, Wayne Gallagher, and Captain Marie Drescher. HOCKEY 1937 The whistle! The bully! Thus many times, during the past season our girls went into action with sticks poised, eager to do their best to win glory for Lansdowne. And do their best they did, to the accumulation of valuable experience. In spite of the expert coaching of Miss Allen and the fine leadership of Bobbie Hample, too often our opponents’ strength kept us from winning those coveted goals. However, with the varsity team almost intact, we expect better results next year. The great enthusiasm for hockey among the girls is certain to maintain our high standing in the hockey world. Now, go in there and win! says Miss Allen, who holds a last-minute conference with part of the hockey team. In the next minute, the girls will be tearing down the field, trying to make another goal. In the usual direction: Alice Selby, Jane Haslett, Julia Haslett, Margie Fox, Phyllis Vernon, Bobby Hample, and Miss Allen.

Lansdowne's 1937-1938 soccer season was. if not a winning one, a season of hard fought bottles. The highlight of the season was a 2-2 tie with Haverford School, which lasted for two extra periods. Wayne Gallagher was elected captain, while Ed Pollock was honored by being the only 38 ' team member elected to the All Lansdowne team, and was the first to hove his name inscribed on the new soccer trophy (presented by Home Room 22), as the most valuable player. The team suffers heavy losses by graduation, but Coach Lowe has some lower classmen well groomed for varsity work next year. The wrestlers, guided by able Coach Horner, had a difficult schedule, but fared rather well, although no meets were won. The best meet was that with Overbrook. Outstanding on the team were: Whitey Snyder, captain, 135 lb. class: Me-Closkey and Braun, the 95 lb. class; Evans, the 150 lb. class; in the 125 lb. class, Goeller, on the 145, Romano and Cronrath. Pechstein led the 155 lb. class; with John Gardner in the 165; and Carnoll as heavyweight. With the constantly growing interest in wrestling Lansdowne may look for better teams each year. 1 9 ft M B B B B BOYS’ BASKETBALL Visitors La; nsdowne Norristown 34 25 Upper Darby 21 20 Chester 31 33 Haverford 26 21 George School 30 31 Media 19 30 Media 23 45 Norristown 24 19 Upper Darby 33 35 Chester 28 23 Haverford 27 39 Taylor Bus.

We managed to beat Hoverford and gain second place in the Section l-B League. The undisputed best game was away with Upper Darby, won by a slim margin. Outstanding league high scorer was Razor Fitzgerald. The first two trips to the Kiwanis Tournament were successful: the third saw the end of the season, as we were nosed out by Eddystone. our conquerors for the past three years. Coach Kramer deserves much credit for the fine showing of his team in his first year at Lansdowne. The Lansdowne Ladies, coached by Miss Sally Allen, completed another successful season this year, winning five of their eight games, in spite of the fact that most of the team were underclassmen. With a total of 85 points, Captain Daisy McCartney was high scorer. The Jay Vee forwards managed to score 124 points. The three senior guards held their opponents to low scores.

A. meet, losing to Upper Darby by only seven points. Wetzel ran the 100-yd. dash in 10.1 seconds; the 220, in 22.4; and won the broad jump with a spectacular leap of 21 feet 2 inches, thereby establishing three new meet records. Episcopal and Ridley Park defeated us in dual meets, but we won from Darby and Swarthmore. Outstanding team members were Pollock in the quarter mile; Wilmer in the half mile; Weinstein in the hurdles; Huttinger, Bauder, Liddell, and Corby in the high jump. The Rupp twins, Perez, Cummings, Lofland, Muth, and Helms are among the twenty freshmen doing fine work. Mr. Atkiss, head coach, and Mr. Lowe are to be commended for a fine team. The managers, Rentz, Russel, and Terrell, also deserve credit. Top. left to right: Weinstein, Finocchio. Wetzel; second row, Liddell, Wilmer ond Pollock, Helms, Lofland.

Note, to the right, the inevitable Bud.” virtually the trademark of Lansdowne teams. BASEBALL The Baseball set J son was a series of ups and downs, but on the whole the team did rather well. As usual the best C'lme was with Upper Darby, which we won 4-3. It was in this game that Slippery King held the Royals to six hits and Snyder showed his value as a batter. Almost everyone will agree that Ferguson was the most valuable player, for when he was not pitching, he was playing shortstop with no trouble at all and his batting average was high. Other outstanding members of Coach Horner's team were: Ed. Fennerty, as a pitcher; Richards and Snyder, as catchers; Goeller, Finn, Batteer, Fitzgerald, as infielders; and Newcomb, Gross, R. R. King, as outfielders. The freshmen played few games, but they were out every day for practice. Most promising first year men are: Hallman, Rank, Hauptle, McCulley, Biles, Finn, Purse, and Gosnay. Equally responsible for the team's success were Coach Horner with his excellent training and constant enthusiasm and Allan Ramsey, head manager, with his able assistants, Clayes and Brackin. Top, left to right: Richards and Ferguson; R. R. King; Goeller and Fitzgerald. Second row: Fennerty; Finn; Ferguson, Snyder and Finn.

We offer our tribute to the athletic coaches of Lansdowne in recognition of their splendid efforts in molding fine teams to represent our school. Giving unstintingly of their time and experience, fighting sometimes against overwhelming odds, they have kept the morale of our athletic teams high. Victory and defeat have been almost equally ours this year in our sports program. In meeting them under the leadership of these coaches, modestly and unflinchingly, we have learned much about the greater game called Life. It is a gome as much given to victory and defeat, sometimes in large doses, as is football or tennis. The competent mentors above, while as eager to win as we, teach us the true spirit of competition: to fight hard and clean, to win spiritedly and to lose graciously, with l.ansdowne's glory foremost in mind and self interest subordinated.
