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.

 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.

 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
