JA ap or Lansdowne Here Begins the Story; in the Future Lies Its End. ★ A setting characteristic of the story and the people ,n the story Mos of our tale centers in the building, a creation of modern symmetry and form before which stand two lovely cherry-blossom trees, symbols of our story of youth eternal and its ever-changing personality. And so the scene is laid, t e time is told, and the story may begin. A PREFACE TO OUR TALE ★ In writing our story of youth we have built the plot and theme on fundamental beliefs and practices which are pictured at right. At top, left to right, Mr. Drake and Marion Dunlap illustrate the essential teacher-pupil cooperation; Fred Selby personifies oral expression; Robert Wilson demonstrates the necessity of individual study; and Emmitt Crew, Betty Dallam, Marge Leinroth picture the principle of knowledge-through-experimentation. Second row, left to right, Mr. Horner teaches rudiments of physical health to his gym class (Pifer, Galentino, Smith, Cordier, Jordan, Lyster, Barlowe, Smith, Mc-Guckin, Lidiak, Brown, Lister, Novelli, Bustler, Saudes, Gibson, Smith, Persson, Mack, Jcnks, Tome, Woodward, Keefer, Holdsworth, MacKinnon); reading clockwise, J. Finn, D. Durant, E. Rogers, R. Hut-tingcr, V. Beck, C. Hunt are engrossed in individual research; and a Junior English class (Steele, Warren, Williams, Bonsall, Ayres, Powers, Reid, Rubin, Shoemaker, Smith, Stamp, Loomis, McCausland, McLaughlin, Middleton) illustrates the fundamental rule of class recitation. Third row, left to right, Virginia Middleton symbolizes problem demonstration; Hugh Dunlap, Rita Martella, and Athlea Beyer picture the value of practical experience. ★ ★ • From among the authors of the story of Lansdowne High School, stands forth he who writes the theme and philosophy of our narration. Dr. Ewan, Superintendent of Schools, is responsible for the guiding principle which binds together plot and characters. Requiring infinite energy and patience, there are to be managed a thousand important and a thousand incidental details pertinent to our theme of youth’s education. Co-ordination of the community school system, school policy, and financial business, all demand the time and attention of Dr. Ewan and his indefatigable and invaluable office staff. • With infinite experience and knowledge of youth, Mr. Abbott writes the plot of youth’s story with deftness and facility. Maintenance of the pace of the tale is the result of his patient and careful planning, an accomplishment demanding concentration and time. And, as the polish of our narration indicates, Mr. Abbott unravels the most complicated of the plot’s intricacies. But technical matters are of secondary importance; youth first needs understanding, justice, and consistency. Steadfast in policy, decisions, and dictates, Mr. Abbott is scrupulously just in his relations with his characters. OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION Assistant Principal MARY EMMA LINDENMUTH B.S., Temple University; M.S., University of Pa. • Being a direct link joining school and community, the school board is primarily utilitarian in purpose. Its activities are extensive as shown by the work of its committees of which the chairmen are: Studies—Mrs. R. Tullar; Library —Mrs. R. Tullar; Kindergarten—Mrs. R. Larson; Comprehensive Plans—Mrs. R. Larson and Mr. T. Fetter; Property—Mr. T. Fetter; Representative to Athletic Association—Mr. T. Fetter; Finance—Mr. T. Willis; Representative to Delaware Safety Council—Mr. T. Willis; Supplies—Dr. J. A. McKenna; Sinking Fund—Mr. F. S. Underhill; Playground Committee—Mr. J. T. Stewart. • Miss Lindenmuth, as one of the collaborating authors of our story, is editor and technical adviser of extra-curricular activities. It is to her that the task falls of writing the personal details of the plot, for Miss Lindenmuth believes that we can help most those people about whom we know the most. Those bewildered by the course of action, she assists in planning the use of time; for those with too much time she finds suitable employment. No problem is too petty for her office. The progress of our story is evidence enough that Miss Lindenmuth is truly helping the students learn to help themselves.” THE SCHOOL BOARD Left to riffht: Dr. |. A. McKenna, Mr. T. E.

ENGLISH, JOURNALISM TEACHERS S WHO PLOT THE • The English Department It is the job of the English staff to save students from the ignominious doom of being unable to speak or write coherently the English language. Holding an A.B. from Goucher College and an M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, Miss McCullough leads Senior classes along the amazing paths of English literature. Mr. Atkiss, Junior English instructor, attended Swarthmore College for his A.B. and the University of Pennsylvania for his M.A. Instructress of thespians and English III, Mrs. Christ took her A.B. at Pennsylvania College for Women and her M.A. at Penn State. Mr. Lowe, with an A.B. and M.Ed. from Rutgers University, and Mr. Stewart, with an A.B. from the University of Richmond, teach students how to put Sophomore English” on their papers. To Miss Hartman, who received her A.B. from Wellesley and her M.A. from Boston University, goes the task of teaching Freshman English which speaks for itself. • The Social Studies Department Under the guise of Social Studies, we find government, history, and present-day problems running around. In this department we find: Mr. Coronway, a graduate of Dickinson College with an A.B., who teachers Ancient History and Civics, and how to be a good citizen; Mr. Snyder, with an A.B. and M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, who has classes in Civics and Modern History; Mr. Griffin, with his A.B. from Ursinus College and his M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, who imparts to his students vital but too-often-forgotten knowledge of the development of our own country in his American History classes; and Mr. Drake, our debating coach, with a Ph.B. and a M.S. from the Universities of Chicago and Pennsylvania respectively, who teaches (when debating season isn’t on) the problems of our nation and government, past and present, in American History and Economics periods.

SOCIAL SCIENCE STORY TO FIT THE CHARACTERS • The Language Department The key which unlocks for us the door leading to a better understanding of faraway lands and peoples is handed to us by our three competent language teachers. Miss Margaret T. Cook, who received a B.A. from the University of Delaware and a M.A. from Columbia University, helps some of us to push back the heavy curtain of time and to catch a glimpse of the glory once part of Rome by teaching us the tongue of the Latins. Miss Dorothy R. Griffith, who obtained her A.B. at Bucknell University and who also attended the Lycce d’Orleans and the Sorbonne in Paris, throws open for us the portals of an old and romantic country, France. With Miss Griffith as guide, we explore French literature and customs and struggle over French pronunciation. With the leadership and interest of Miss Mildred B. Hoopcs, who won her B.A. at Wellesley College, we become familiar with the land of Goethe and Wagner. • The Mathematics Department Mathematics, the basic principle of life, is pounded into relatively hard or soft skulls by the very competent instruction of our three math teachers. Mr. Fischer, who received his B.S. from the University of Illinois, has the duty of introducing the Freshmen to the elementary stages of high school math, and is also doing a swell job” of coaching our football team. Mrs. Morris, with an A.B. from Swarth-more College, helps her classes to advance mathematically in Plane Geometry and to investigate the fly in the ointment” in her Biology period. Miss McAllister, who attended Gettysburg and Bryn Mawr Colleges and the University of Pennsylvania, earning her B.S. and M.S. at the former, teaches advanced math and helps the student put the finishing polish on his knowledge of the course called mathematics, but in some cases more properly named baffle-matics.

COMMERCIAL STUDIES AND LEAD EACH CHARACTER • Science Department In the dim reaches of the upper hall is the domain of the Science Department. Amid the clink of glassware, the crackling of electricity, and the smells peculiar to scientific experiments toil the would-be chemists, engineers, and doctors of Lansdowne High School. The chemistry and physics laboratories are the scene of operations for Mr. Wardrop, B.S., Bucknell, who here presents a fundamental course in the inorganic laws of nature. The Biology Department, headed by Mr. F.pley, B.S., Gettysburg, assisted by Mr. Wardrop and Mrs. Morris of the Math Division, delves into the functions of all living things. Besides offering a beginning for medical study, Biology teaches knowledge usable in everyday life. Combining the best of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, Mr. Kleckner, A.B., Muhlenberg, M.S., U. of P., aided by Mr. Hersh of Industrial Arts, teaches General Science. Thus, Today is preparing for Tomorrow. • Commercial and Physical Education The future captains of industry, clerks, and stenographers are being trained in our efficient commerce department. Mr. Kraber, having a B.S. from Susquehanna University, patiently accompanies students through the tortures of shorthand and typing. With his B.S. from Susquehanna University and M.A. from N.Y.U., Mr. Kramer elucidates business math. Under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Petty, who attended Universities of Delaware and Temple for her A.B., commercial students are initiated into the rites of typing and office training. While the commerce teachers arc interested in mental development, our physical education department is interested in the physical side. Mrs. Macky, a graduate of Temple University with a B.S., instructs the feminine half of the student body in the rudiments of good health. Having a Ph.B. from Muhlenberg and M. S. from Temple, Mr. Horner gives chin-in-chest-out commands. Harold Kramer. B.S., M.A. ( ikraldini M. Petty, A.H. COMMERt IAI. STI'DIES COMMERCIAL STUDIES Kathryn ( . Davis. H.S. art Don B.

MUSIC TO A WORTHY CLIMAX • industrial Arts and Home Economics That those at the bottom often rise to the top is certainly true, for in the basement of L.H.S. future engineers and industrialists labor under the direction of Mr. Tammcryn, with an M.E., a B.S. and M.S. in Education from the U. of P. and R.P.I. Assisted by Mr. Hersh, B.S., Millers-ville State Teachers College, Mr. Tammeryn, from the metal and wood shops and drafting and surveying departments, sends out boys who have both the theoretical knowledge and the practical experience necessary for college and industry. Farther down the hall, Miss Stevens. B.S., William Smith College, may be found instructing the girls, and some of the fellows, too, in the delicate art of preparing delicacies. Going upstairs, we find future home-bodies being capably guided by Mrs. Stephens, director of Sewing and Consumer Education for girls. Thus, these departments offer needed practical experience. • Music, Art, Library, Office Through the combined efforts of Miss Davis, Miss Sheafer, and Mr. Corbin, the pursuit of art, reading, and music is undertaken by many of the students. Miss Davis, with a B.S. in Art Education from Penn State, is the spirit behind school art decorations and the stage crew. Our librarian. Miss Sheafer, A.B. from Dickinson and B.L.S. from Columbia, is custodian of our fine and very complete library. Lansdowne’s musical reputation is the result of the tireless effort of Mr. Corbin, director of orchestra, band, and chorus. He has a B.S.M., M.C.M., and an M.M.Ed. from Oberlin College, St. Olaf, and Northwestern Schools of Music. But climaxing and coordinating all, is the office, presided over by Mrs. Woods, secretary to the principal, personal adviser for the entire school, and general manager, without whom the wheels of progress” would barely rotate.

Woods DOMESTIC SCIENCE LIBRARIAN SECRETARY • Hi-Y The Girls’ Hi-Y, under the leadership of Miss Cook, has completed another successful year. In fulfillment of its duties, Hi-Yers have been seen all year dashing around serving tea to Freshman girls and their mothers, collecting and distributing Thanksgiving baskets, selling Red Cross Pins at Christmas, taking care of several destitute families, sponsoring an assembly, and hiring buses to take students to away” football games. Of all those who dashed around, President F.lea-nor Buck did the most dashing and behind her trailed the other officers, Treas., B. Decker, Sec., A. Brumbaugh, Vice-President, Betty Dallam. • Student Council The Student Council is an active and vital organization at L.H.S. The officers are elected in the spring previous to the year they are to serve, and in the fall as soon as school is in full swing, each Home Room elects a representative to this body. It is his duty to attend the meetings which are held before school every two weeks and to report the discussion and problems to his Home Room. In this way the entire student body has a finger in the pie.” From the Home Rooms, problems are brought to the light and solved. This year the Student Council has tackled the problem of congested halls, so each morning and HI-Y First row, left to right: |. Rrotsker, F. Lc Blanc, K. Mac Queen, N. Stone, J. Patterson, S.

An assembly program is sponsored by this organization, in addition to its principal function of acting as a medium between the administrative and student bodies. • The National Honor Society A high spot in the school year for seventeen Seniors and nine Juniors is election to the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society. In an impressive service those chosen arc welcomed by Dr. Ewan, Mr. Abbott, and the nine black-gowned members who were elected when they were Juniors. Election to the society is based upon the four principles: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. Students, to be elected, must have made outstanding records in their school life in all four of these principles; thus one-sided development is discouraged and well-rounded personalities are encouraged. By character is meant honesty, ambition, industry, and a spirit of democracy. By service is meant unselfish devotion of time and effort in the support of school activities. Leadership means the ability to inspire others to honest living and industry in school activities, while scholarship symbolizes ability to work well and a sincere desire to acquire an education. The Society sponsors the Honors Banquet and the Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet, and occasionally manages the school’s refreshment stand. 17 • Wood Shop Experience,” they shout when you apply for a job. Experience,” employers are continually manding. Maybe here at L.H.S. we can’t give experience to our students, but they can certainly learn to wield a sanding block, ripsaw, and paint brush. Down deep in the bowels of our school, where Mr. John Tammeryn rules, with the ever ready assistance of Mr. Harry Hersh, lies an oft forgotten department of our curriculum. This end of our halls belongs to the Industrial Arts Department, and the Wood Shop stands as king. From early in the morning till late in the afternoon sounds of banging ham- Foreground: M. Fchcr.

At any time, while walking down the corridors, you may meet the low, flat truck carrying work from the store room to the shop. In the spring when most jobs are nearly completed. the odors of paint, varnish, linseed oil, and stain fill this end of the school. And as the work is done and proudly carried home, you will encounter a never-ending stream of end tables, magazine baskets, what-nots, ping-pong tables, shoe boxes, garden chairs, and book cases. Here, too, the stage crew can turn if they need a set built for a production, and the boys on special work will be ready to turn it out for them. •Art Metal Art Metal is one of the new courses added to this year’s curriculum. It expresses the modern trend in education toward self-expression in the manual arts. Material covered by the Art Metal program is nearly all non-tcchnical and requires no special knowledge. Taught by Mr. Hersh, the course is offered to Juniors and Seniors one period a week for one year only. Besides its educational value, it allows the student to build practical objects for use in the home; the only cost involved being that of materials, which are bought wholesale for the Industrial Arts department. The work is divided into two types, i.e., wrought iron and sheet metal. Sheet metal work requires fewer complicated maneuvers but is fairly difficult, requiring the craftsman to turn out intricate jobs such as ash trays and serving dishes. Under wrought iron work comes a variety of products and operations consisting of lamps, fireplace screens, wall flower brackets, and all projects dealing with bent strips of iron. The student learns how to flare, flute, drill, and rivet, operations which arc sometimes liable to make wrecks out of both the iron and students. • Surveying Lansdownc’s on the map. Yes, and the Senior surveying squad is putting it there. Supervised by Mr. John Tammeryn, this year’s group has started to survey the new homes that have been built in Lansdowne in recent years. Each squad of five men lays out a plan of the new streets and then places on it the houses. Drawings are then made to scale and mounted on the large school district chart which hangs in Dr. S. N. Ewan’s office. The work, which is done during the class period, after school, and on Saturdays, is a good taste of actual work in the field for these advanced surveyors. The Junior class still maintains its repertoire of preliminary projects, but they too will carry on the work next year, and it will continue year after year until the job is finished. Little is usually known of the work done by the boys who take surveying, but this year the men who work the transits, tapes, Philadelphia rods, and levels have concrete evidence to show for their time; and the school is getting a welcome addition to its district map. Those who do this job will have valuable experience, experience which should stand them in good stead in college and in their later life when they become the engineers, architects and road-builders of the nation.

Banyai are • English English class is a familiar scene to all Lansdowne students. Here, midst a constant battle of verbs and nouns, commas and semicolons, the students try their skill at written and oral composition. In their travels down the highways and byways of literature, they meet most of the world’s important authors and become acquainted with many of their works. In later years, English will prove its worth by contributing greatly to the success of industrious students. • Art One of the busiest departments in L.H.S. is our art department headed by Miss Davis. Indirectly the committees from this department are responsible for success of our dances and shows, for their clever decorations and scenery provide an adequate and pleasant background for our social life. Their work can be seen throughout the school in the form of posters and pictures, and the murals brightening our cafeteria were painted by Miss Davis and her students. This year the art department is planning a spring art show, which is to be a detailed performance of students actually at work, living portraits, and many other interesting things connected with art and this department. Miss Davis deserves a salute from our class of 1941 for her splendid cooperation and assistance during our four years here in Lansdowne High School. Under her trained guidance, the school is made into a finer place in which to live and L.H.S. students and our artists of tomorrow are given much-needed experience. • Library A world with a thousand worlds! A world of infinite potentiality whose resources arc easily discovered and developed by just one tool, a mind of imagination! Books are written to be read. The finest collection of great literature is nothing if the pages of the volumes are never uncut, for a book without readers is a general without an army. We are fortunate, whether or not we realize it, in having a school library so remarkably complete in fiction, non-fiction, magazine, and research material. It is there for the finding just by looking. • Debate Mister chairman, honorable Judge, worthy opponents, and—With Mr. Howard Drake as coach, the debating team of Lansdowne spent the season arguing whether or not the Federal Government should own and operate the Electric Utilities. Although the season was not overly successful as far as victories were concerned, it was successful in that the members of the two teams gained self-confidence and experience. The negative team, captained by Fred Selby, star rebuttalist,” included Jean Mosley, as interrogator, Robert Stoughton, as second constructive speaker, and Janet Patterson, as first speaker. Their most successful debate was a win over Bridgeport with a score of 300 to 350. The affirmative team, made up of Betty Dallam, re-buttalist,” Margretta Van Dyke, interrogator, Stephen Pease, second speaker, and Albert Tolley, first speaker, also chalked up their most successful victory against Bridgeport. 22 ART I..H.S. artists: Smyrl, McKclvey, Scv.am.in.

It involves an overwhelming conglomeration of laws and formulae whose purpose is to clarify, but whose result is to mystify. But even for those who arc not budding doctors, engineers, and such, there is still something to be gotten from the study of physics, since its men of science include interesting fellows like Archimedes who jumped in and out of tubs yelling Eureka.” Also, any member of the class will tell you that this year is a little different, for Mr. Wardrop is giving the students a chance to do the lecturing, at least at first. After they’re finished, he explains the explanation. But for those who take it and understand it, physics provides a necessary background for advanced science study. • Chemistry We learn by experience” is most applicable in the laboratory amid test tubes, scales, and Florence flasks. However, practice makes perfect,” so by the second semester our polished lab technique is a far cry from our floundering, clumsy attempts of September. Before we do each experiment, we have to become acquainted with it through classroom discussion and data sheets. Through our lectures we become old friends of the atom, valence, and colloid and master chemical math, the banc of most of us. Everything in our course links together in a complete pattern of chemistry fundamentals. • Solarium Goldfish gleaming in tropical water, barbaric cactus and bouncing rubber plants—all make up our solarium jungle. Here, students study plant life and living micro-organisms. • • Biology Lenses in a microscope enlarge the subject just as science enlarges our knowledge of human welfare. Here in Biology class, we may find the students sometimes chasing a paramecium or some other equally elusive micro-organism. At other times, we may find them making a study of higher forms of animal life, all of which gives them a thorough background for actual living and for better understanding of themselves and others. Then personality problems provide many discussions. Science like time is never ending, so in the scientific world of today' each one of these embryonic hunters will pick up the search anew for the truth. • Mathematics There is no science more practical and more vital than mathematics. It saves so much time and embarrassment if the grocery bill can be added without the benefit of fingers and toes, for it is in those ordinary, everyday situations that most of us will be thankful for our mathematical training. No day passes during which the most humble has no need of the science of numbers. But for those considering any of the higher professions, any scientific career, the more math the better. Excellent training for life, mathematics teaches you to extricate yourself from the intricacies of any problem. E. Loncrj-an explores mysteries of a smaller world with help of microscope. 25 We SLUM aue nu • Band The band marched down the held in perfect formation, keeping time to a lively Lansdownc anthem. Leading them was our tall, handsome drum major. Bob Hale, his gleaming baton flashing in the sun. Even a losing fcotball team was compensated for by this band that could hold its own against any competition. Playing at athletic events is not our band's only activity, however. It also participates in our annual music festival under the direction of Mr. Don B. Corbin. Also each year some of its members go to Coatesville to play in the Southeastern District Band. This year they were: Ed. Lon-ergan, bassoon; Bodley MacDonald and Albert Tolley, clarinet. Repertoire 1940-41: If Thou Be Near, Bach; March from Tannhauser, Wagner; Student Prince Overture, B.omberg; Crusaders Overture, Buchtel; Marches by Sousa. • Orchestra L.H.S. can rightly be proud of its orchestra. Under the capable hand of Mr. Don B. Corbin ours is no German band, but an active part of school life. Their playing at the fall production and senior play add much to both affairs. Besides providing supplementary music for assemblies, when it is needed, it is an established custom to have a concert assembly combined with the Haverford or Upper Darby orchestra. They alternate each year, going away to the school that does not come to us. Several members participated in the P.S.M.A. Orchestra at Ambler, and from those, two were chosen to go to All-State Orchestra. Each year the orchestra attempts successfully bigger and better things. Hats off to our orchestra! • Chorus The most perfect musical instrument ever conceived is the human voice. And the joy of choral music is equally shared by audience and singers, a fact proved by the size of our chorus classes and the success of our musical programs. For all who enjoy and have a talent for singing, membership in the A Capella choir is the ultimate goal. As he improves or shows his ability and cooperation, the aspiring vocalist is advanced from Chorus I to Chorus III. Activities of the Advanced chorus group throughout the year include 20th Century Club programs, church entertainments, Christmas and Spring concerts. The climax of the year is the Spring Festival in which all musical organizations of the school participate. Directing the chorus with its comprehensive repertoire is Mr. Don B. Corbin, author and editor of all school musical endeavors. Standing, left to right: Patterson, Atkins, Mr. Corbin, French, Salsa dor, McCauslund. Baskin, Hale, Williams.

The object of typing is, of course, to put as many characters on paper accurately in the shortest possible time. Most students soon become speedy operators at the machines, but a few students have the misfortune to be forced to work with typewriters that refuse to either spell or punctuate. Proficient exponents of the art of typing are in great demand about the school, and these hard-working boys and girls are glad to do their bit in keeping the school records in apple-pie order. If the high speed tick-tickers were not with us, more of us would be forced to read our own chicken tracks that pass as handwriting. • Shorthand Since secretaries arc made, not born, shorthand is a must to commercial students. After the fundamentals of this strange language of curves and angles have been learned, the potential secretaries strive for speed and accuracy; consequently, under the supervision of Mr. Kraber and the time watch, many stenographic speed-demons are born. Practice makes perfect” is their slogan which is put to use not only in the class room, but in taking letters from other teachers to help with the various school activities. • Bookkeeping Mr. Kramer’s bookkeeping course should be of great help to Lansdowne girls who will have to know how to juggle their budgets so that hubby won’t find out that the five dollars he gave them to pay the gas man was used for a new bonnet, and to the boys that expect to be business big shots. Seriously though, balancing the books of a corporation or small company is a job that requires considerable technical training, training that is given under the direction of Mr. Kramer to most of the commercial students of the school. Students are taught the correct business forms for making entries and listing items, and they arc also given practice in adding columns of numbers; adding them so that the sum is correct down to the last penny. Those who take this course will find that their budgets will balance and their company’s finances will be kept straight; while those who go through school without coming under the influence of Mr. Kramer’s course, court financial disaster. • Office Training Each year office training, which covers almost every important phase of office life, produces Lansdowne’s gift to the business world. Under the guidance of Mrs. Petty, the students learn to operate complicated machines with ease and accuracy, to file papers under the right folder, and to do most of the school’s mimeographing. Also, the daily drills in mental arithmetic have knocked the dust off many a brain. Then, of course, that very important subject How to win jobs and influence employers” is being continually stressed and emphasized. E. Hefner, I). Wunderlich, E. (Joeller Helen Townsend Betty Saunders Irene Durant Our Social Whirl • Many a telephone buzzes on a Saturday morning, and many a feminine voice starts the same, inevitable and weighty discussion: W'hat are you going to wear tonight?” Then ensues the usual and very debatable argument— Heels or saddles?” This may seem quite unimportant and frivolous to you, but to us Lansdowne High girls they are very important questions. It is very necessary that we appear at the many and varied social functions sponsored by the school, properly, becomingly, ethically, and conventionally attired. And in manner of dress and custom the mighty Seniors are given the privilege of patronizing the greatest number of activities during the year. Undoubtedly the Senior Final is the most important of all these. From the very day the wee Freshmen enter high school, they begin to plan and dream of this affair, it having always been a closed dance to which each and every Senior has been given an invitation. Every girl or boy who has even the slightest interest in dancing or social life attends. Many of the shrinking violets in the class are drawn from their hiding places only to go to the dance and find what a lot of fun they’ve been missing. In its modest way our dance can be compared in importance to the Main Line Assembly,” and at the time, all worries, such as the foreign situation, are pushed from our minds. Two other .dances are also presented by this aloof and so- Top: Mr. Horner and Betty Bonsall. Middle: La Blanc. Ebcrhardt, |. Shoemaker, Haaycn, O'Rourke. Bottom: Horn, Finn. M. Shoemaker, and Powers, Feher and Gill. 30 phisticated class, one in the early part of the school year and the other after Christmas vacation. They are both semi-formal and considered The Way of keeping up with Mary.” Jumping from the dance to the drama, many potential Sarah Bernhardts and Robert Mansfields arc brought to light when the annual Senior Play becomes manifest in our young lives. At the tryouts for this dramatic offering anyone who so wishes, no matter what his previous experience, is allowed to participate. This year a new plan was tested for the play Young April,” presented on two nights instead of one. This hilarious, nostalgic comedy was equally well received at both performances. Descending a bit from Mt. Olympus, we find the not-quite-there-yct Juniors headed two important events during the year. They had the kingly honor of giving the only other formal dance in addition to the Senior Final. The drab, dull gym became irridcscent with the many beautiful dresses, and the happy scene is marred only by the fact that it generally rains or snows. Also sponsored by this class was the helpful Junior-Freshmen party, an attempt to make the Freshmen feel that they, too, are part of our big happy family. And it usually succeeds after the first painful hour. Reaching level ground in our climb down the mountain, it is discovered that the Sophomores and Freshmen have only a few social whirligigs, but of course, there is the Sophomore Flop, vehicle for many bashful kiddies’ debut.

Hansel! • The dramatic season started out with the fall production of Molierc’s rollicking comedy The Imaginary Invalid in which the leading parts were taken by Edwin Garrett as the imaginary invalid and by Fadra LeBlanc as his servant who tried to convince him that he wasn’t so sick as he thought he was. Angelique, his daughter, and her secret lover were played by Nancy Roberts and Robert Thompson. A doctor who thought Angelique would make a wonderful wife for his son was Robert Lamborn; and the son was Fred Eisley, who also took the part of Monsieur Purgon, the doctor who finally convinced Argon that he wasn’t sick after all. Beline, Argon’s wife, was portrayed by Margretta Van Dyke; an apothecary by Elmer Seal; Argon’s other daughter by Mary Etta Carter; Monsieur Bonnefois by James Lee; and Argon’s brother by Don MacKinnon. Mrs. Christ deserves the highest praise for the finished production that the members of her drama classes presented. Lights, curtain, action and the most spectacular theatrical production of the year was underway! The class of ’41 made history in L.H.S. by presenting the annual Senior Play on two nights and by drawing a capacity crowd on both nights. Young April” by Aurania and William Rouveral concerned the typical problems of a young boy and girl. The feminine lead was played by Athlea Beyer who portrayed Terry MacIntyre, a young girl deeply in love with love. Jack Hansell took the part of Terry’s brother George, a typical college freshman. Stephen Pease and Nancy Roberts portrayed Mr. and Mrs. MacIntyre, their distracted parents. The supporting roles were taken by: Bob Hale, Charlotte Finn, Robert Staughton, Harry Nawn, Helen Howard, Lois Osborne, Edward Banyai and William Evans. 33 DL WJJ in mu We Jin,!

Ancient History, as its title denotes, is about the antiquated history of the world. One studies the kings and queens of the Old World and their various wars. Civics deals with the intricacies of the United State government. The importance of the duties of the various leaders of our democratic nation is also stressed. Modern History, as taught by Mr. Snyder, is a study of the Industrial Revolution and its far-reaching effects upon the world in which we live. Ably taught by Mr. Griffin, American History is one of the most interesting courses taught to our ovial juniors. In it, they study the history of our nation starting with the settlement of our western territory and continuing up through the important phases of our history to present day problems of industry and labor, politics and economics. 34 Ixft to right: Criftin, Patterson, McLou hlm, McMullin, Pifcr, Ebcrhardl. • Civics Civics and Ancient History are taught in the Freshman year under the able tutelage of Mr. A. Todd Coronway and Mr. F.dwin Snyder. Civics covers the four kinds of government which exist in the world at the present time. Kach one is taken up separately and its advantages and disadvantages shown. The local government is then scrutinized so that the student learns about his own community. Embodied in the early weeks of the course is an extensive guidance program, designed to make the student think about his future. This course consists of making a career book and of having a series of interviews with the teacher in order to choose an adviser who can capably guide each pupil through the next four years. During the second semester, the class studies Ancient History which covers all the great civilizations from the Ice Age to the Roman Flmpire. Modern problems are contrasted with those of ages past and their solutions compared. Together with the course in Civics this forms a well rounded program of study. • Safety Driving Another worthwhile subject that Mr. Griffin teaches, besides History, is Highway Safety. His main idea is to create in his students an understanding of driving problems and a desire to drive in such a way that they not only will be safe themselves but will not endanger others. This subject has also helped many prospective drivers pass their driving examinations. First row: Richardson, Wallers Nichols, Martclla, Cowdric, Wal den. Second row Gorman, Miller Wingfield.

If you were to follow your nose, you would discover yourself in a room in the basement next to the cafeteria. Upon entering, you would sec a group of white-aproned girls (or perhaps boys—we have a boys’ class, you know) basting roasts, icing cakes, or beating up biscuits. This peaceful routine is broken several times a year by preparation for teas and for the School Board Dinner, the highlight in Junior and Senior foods’ classes. The girls hope that someday they will be able to put their knowledge to practical use in homes of their own. The boys hope that this course will keep them from starving when the little woman attends her bridge club. • Sewing To the dull hum of sewing machines, the bright flashing of needles, and the interwoven clacking of tongues, new outfits for summer are put together in room forty-four with the advice and assistance of Mrs. Stephens. Bright, multi-colored prints and lovely pastels become gay spring frocks and playsuits as the girls work industriously, visualizing themselves this summer in all the glory of new clothes. Witness to their skill can be found in the work of the past semester— dresses, skirts, and blouses now being proudly worn by their creators. A much-welcomed addition this year is a new electric sewing machine of the latest model with many time-saving gadgets and improvements. • Millinery Perhaps, when recently admiring the new Faster Chapeau of a Lansdowne lassie, you were amazed to learn that I made it myself.” Yes, it was true, for down in room two, under the guidance of Miss Stevens, girls of the Junior and Senior classes created chic new bonnets from old felt and straw hats. These, or sometimes new materials, were blocked on the hat form, stitched, and trimmed with ribbons, feathers, flowers, and veils. Turbans were made by draping and tying material about a crinoline base shaped on the block. This task required skill and care in execution, and the girls were justly proud of the results. The course was practically guaranteed to turn out milliners who will someday rival Lily Dache and Lisette. • Consumer Education In the world of today, with specialization functioning to such a high degree and the consequent interdependence of man, it is necessary to have fundamental knowledge of values and quality in order to buy wisely and economically. The aim of the course in Consumer Education, offered to both boys and girls of the Senior class, is to make these future consumers conscious of what goes on in the world of commerce and of how they can assure themselves of getting what they pay for. They learn what to avoid as well as what to purchase and are taught to be wary of any product not meeting government standards. In connection with this work, field trips are taken to several near-by business establishments where the students get a first-hand glimpse of the situation.

Last fall found the staff racking its brain for the more original. The theme having been determined, the staff was confronted with such problems as composing senior write-ups and activity articles, identifying photographs, assembling the dummy, and selling the finished product. The publicity campaign was officially opened, this year, by the production of an original skit written by Fred Selby. Members of the staff temporarily abandoning their work, stepped into the roles of actors and cleverly influenced the students to buy the 1941 Lahian. The composing and editing of this bigger and better Lahian was accomplished by Editor, Betty Dallam and staff members under the supervision of Miss Margaret McCullough and Mr. Lincoln Atkiss, faculty sponsors. The reward of hard work comes in the form of praise from those students who are fortunate enough to acquire copies of the Lahian and in the form of awards from the various committees in charge of the judging in National Yearbook contests.

The glamor that is usually associated with newspaper work has attracted many eager-eyed students to Room 58. Once they enter those portals, an embryonic reporter is born, for the 'G G” has all the glamor and excitement of a real newspaper. Countless minor changes have been made in the 1941 G G,” the result of which has been a streamlined publication. While a smaller masthead, fewer, improved editorials, new set of headlines and make up arc the outstanding changes, our regulars, Snuff Box and Short Sports, still hold the limelight. In keeping up with the modern trend which is toward more and better photographs, Mr. Lowe and Ed Banyai have been pioneers in this respect. Under the progressive regime of Editor Robert Lamborn, the staff has been inspired to create a new and better cooperative system among the reporters. The editor and his staff, Ed Banyai, Bob Thompson, Joan Nuttall, Ruth Baskin, Leona Empcr, have produced a paper that is a leader of its kind. 39 iAivina In the Darby-Lansdowne game wc see an off tackle, an cn ! run, and Lansdowne tackling Darby. Gibson ami Tome spell good tackling for this Darby player. • Lansdowne will shine tonight” rang out only once last fall, but what a thrill it was to hear it! On twenty-nine successive occasions over a four year span, our football warriors had gone on the field and on twenty-nine of those occasions they had come off, beaten. However, on a clear, cool, Friday afternoon in October, a determined team, coached by Mr. John Fischer, and an equally confident band of rooters invaded Ridley Park and did the impossible. They came home victorious! Two long drives downfield, with Lou Smith and Bill Smith driving over, gave Lansdowne a 13-7 triumph, and what a win it was! The season had opened with a 13-0 setback at the hands of Media, but the following week Darby was rudely surprised when Art Hulme took one of Bill Smith’s well directed aerials and galloped forty yards to score early in the second period. This only enraged the boys from down yonder, for Darby came back roaring in the second half to pull the game out of the fire, 14-6. The Ridley triumph was just the thing needed to get us up” for Upper Darby, but in the midst of a snow storm they gave us our worst defeat of the year, 32-0. Still reeling from the Upidah defeat we played a weak Springfield team to a standstill, but lost 12-6. The Red Raiders of Radnor, with All-Scholastic Emlen Tunnell leading the way, rode roughshod over an awakening Lansdowne team with a stinging 27-0 setback. At Havcrford it was too much; Artie Jones and we were on the short end of a 19-0 count. Reeling from defeat, we wended down to Yeadon and completely outplayed our near-by rivals in everything except the final tally which went up as 7-0 against us. It was now or never as Thanksgiving dawned clear and cold. On an ice encrusted field, we had our last glimpse of such senior stalwarts as Lou Smith, Art Hulme, Emmit Crew, Bud Smith, Carrol Hauptle, Bill Evans, Dick Boswell, and Ed Banyai. Their great efforts, along with those of the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen were not enough, so Swarthmore went home with a close 7-6 triumph. Thus ended the best season in years. All down the line good football was played. The J.V. had a highly successful season, winding up with only one loss and a tie. The Freshmen, small in size but big in heart, came along slowly under the coaching of Mr. James Wardrop, but ended their season with a victory. These supply the pep. I efr to right top row: B.

The Kramermen opened with an impressive victory over Swarth-more. Their first defeat came when the boys met the slick Radnor outfit composed of Roshelli, Tunnell and company. Their losing ways continued as they dropped a tough decision to a strong Media quintet. The next game was an overtime thriller with a hitherto undefeated Clifton team, the Lansdowne boys playing one of their best games of the season. The Lords drew first blood in the league when they handed Darby a neat trimming. Upper Darby and Collingdale then pounced on us and notched victories at our expense. The boys then beat Chester only then to have the misfortune to again encounter the Red Raiders from Radnor. The season ended after victories were tallied against Upper Darby and Collingdale, and Chester closed our regular season with a defeat at their hands. Outstanding on this year’s five were: Harry Boardman, dependable guard; Bill Hunt, skyscraping forward; and Norman Sturgis Gunner” Wilcox, ambidextrous circus shot expert who was also high scorer on the squad with ioi points. Joe Finn finished his third season as a member of the varsity with a fine record as a smooth ball handler and splendid team worker. Other boys who did more than their share in helping to compile such a fine record were Don Byles, Snuffy” Smith. Art Hulme, Doc” Cook, Bob Verrall, and Fred Welte. Harry Boardman was awarded a cup as the team’s most valuable member, while Gunner Wilcox, high scorer, and Bill Hunt, runner-up in scoring, were given places on the All-League first and second team.

The boys first removed from the tournament Eddystone, Lansdowne’s perennial tournament jinx, beating them to the tune of 38 to 26. That night Bill Hunt was high scorer with twelve points. Continuing on the championship trail, the L.H.S. quintet walloped the tourney favorite, Chester, which team, incidentally had defeated us just four days before the tourney’s start. In this victory Harry Boardman dropped in five field goals and two fouls for a total of twelve points. The semi-final round saw Lansdowne trounce a gallant Darby five in a freak game in which Lansdowne netted but one point in the entire second half. Verrall led the scoring with six points. On March 22, the Lansdowne team finished their season in a blaze of glory as they beat a scrappy Yeadon team by a score of 37-30. The first half was a close battle as Lansdowne, sparked by Sturgis Wilcox’s fourteen points, made up for a bad start and ended the half in a tie. Until the last sixty seconds of play, it was a thrilling nip-and-tuck game. Then Boardman, Wilcox, and Welte poured through three quick shots, and it was all over. Wilcox and Hunt were given places on the All-Kiwanis team, while the rest of the players were guests at a special victory banquet.

Captain Betty Buckson, an excellent goalie, saved the day many times for the team. Mac Weigelt made a name for herself by being high scorer. In fact, because of her exceptional speed, she made five of the six goals scored during the entire season. Dot Hyland, an outstanding Junior player, scored the remaining goal. Tink” Harmer, the only veteran player from last year’s varsity, and Sally Mendenhall, the blonde terror, passed the ball many times from their wing positions to the scorers. Joan Nuttall and Jan Shoemaker completed the forward line. Marion Dunlap and Leona Emperor played left and right halfback respectively, with Jessie Crouthamcl and Martha Benedict alternating at center halfback. These girls, along with the fullbacks, Barbara Hall and Charlotte Finn, ably backed up the forward line. The Jay Vec this year was made up of six Seniors, four Juniors, and one Sophomore, Elsie Smith who played goalie. Mary Wetzel was center with Marjorie Shoemaker and Ellen Johansen as left and right inner. At right wing was Barbara Pile; at left, Jean Warren. Ruth Hansen and Jeanette Brotsker backed up the line as right and left halfback, respectively. Last, but not least, we wish to congratulate Coach Macky for her enthusiasm and untiring efforts to develop a winning team. • Basketball Amazing and disappointing are the two things that can be said about this year’s team of girl basketeers. Amazing because they won when they weren’t expected to and disappointing because they lost when they weren’t expected to. Captained by Marguerite Gill, the team tied up the first game with Haverford. The next week the Lady Lords astounded all concerned by disposing of a tough Swarthmore team, 21-19, going on the following week to tie with Collingdale. The most disappointing game of the year was played at Ridley Park at which time Lansdowne, although leading at the half by a good margin, ended as the underdog with a score 20-21. The games with Lower Merion, Upper Darby and Glen Nor do not improve with the telling, but these tragedies were somewhat nullified by the happenings of the last set-to with Radnor. With the record of three crushing defeats behind them, the girl gunners’’ played the most amazing game of the year and trounced a bewildered Radnor. As for the players, Barbara Hall, both forward and guard, was deservedly awarded the Most Valuable Player trophy. Mae Wcigclt, Fay Fielding, Marguerite Gill, Martha Benedict, and Betty Dallam were the other varsity members, although several of the J.V., i.e., Sarah Mendenhall, Fadra LeBlanc, Dot Hyland, and Betty Buckson, had a good share of varsity experience. «5 • Baseball The many enthusiastic supporters of baseball here at L.H.S. are expecting Coach Herbert Horner’s varsity squad to have another fine season, equalling or at least approaching the mark set by last year’s championship nine. With the return of such veteran stalwarts as Captain Joe Finn, the only boy playing his fourth year of the varsity. Art MacDowell, Jim McCully, Fred Welte, Fd McMullin, Neil Gilmour, Jim Hallman, and Don Byles, the only light-haired boy on the entire team, the team should continue to play the same hustling brand of ball its followers have come to expect. Toiling on the mound this spring will be Art MacDowell, the Junior speed artist, and Jim Hallman, he of the dipsy-doo curve and alley-oop drop. Behind the bat Byles will call the signals and pick off stray base-runners with his rifle arm. One game last year Don nailed four runners who, in a moment of mental weakness, thought they could steal a base. The infield will consist of Bob Verrall at first. Spike Gray at second, Joe Finn covering ground at short, and Jim McCully hovering about the hot corner. Patrolling the outer pastures will be Bob Rank, Fred Welte, and Ed McMullin. Promising younger members of the squad include Frank See, last year’s Freshman captain, and Otto Gregory. A victory over Upper Darby’s Royals in the game played on our home diamond would start the hard playing Garnet and Gray nine rolling on their way to another league championship. Mr. Horner, whose capable guidance has been a big factor in past success of the team, hopes for another fine season. • Track With a large nucleus of returning lettermen, a fine coach, and a popular captain. Coach Lincoln Atkiss’ trackmen are looking forward to a successful season. Last year’s high scorer, Bob Hale, will captain this year’s squad and will be counted on for points in the javelin and discus. Jake Helms, who is expected to shatter the Lansdowne High School record in the mile; Sparrow” Muth, crack half-miler; Don and Harry Rupp, who sometimes drive score-keepers batty by finishing first and second in the quarter mile or pole-vault events; and Bill Smith, a three letter athlete in his Junior year, are also expected to shine this spring. Strong competition will be provided in other events by Howard Good, Melvin Feher, Joe Rebstock, Walt Patterson, and Bob Smyrl; while strongmen Bill Plate, Bob Gibson, Ray Wille, Bill Evans, and Lou Smith will toy with the twelve pound shot. An interesting sidelight on this year’s season is the fact the present Freshmen squad is the largest ever to report for track. Credit for the achievement should be given to hardworking and enthusiastic Coach Lowe. Followers of track at Lansdowne are hopeful that his efforts will be rewarded by a victorious season. Members om the squad themselves arc confident that there will be a vast improvement over last year’s disappointing season, when after a fine start the squad failed to hit the winning form of which they were capable. Altogether the G. G. trackmen should have a fine season, the highlight of which will be the Dclco Track Meet. 1940 BASEBALL SCORES Upper Darby Opp. • 7 L.H.S. 2 Collingdale 9 15 Darb . . . . s 6 Media . . . 5 0 Eddy stone . 5 3 Prospect Park 5 3 Girard College H 3 Darby . . . . 3 4 George School • j 6 Upper Darby . . . 0 4 Eddystonc . 2 3 Media .... 3 4 Prospect Park 3 6 Collingdale 6 2 TRACK TEAM Hiul( row: Million, Murphy, Colby, Reinbold, Watkins, (Jill, Hoffman, Schccrcr, Sponga.

The varsity team won seven victories while dropping only three decisions; the Junior Varsity lost but one out of four while two individual wrestlers were crowned District One Champions. Outstanding among the team’s performances were a thirty-one to nothing shutout of Penn Charter and a twenty-eight to three lacing handed a strong George School outfit. Outstanding personal successes were scored by Bill Dallam and Bill Evans, district champs in the eighty-five and one hundred thirty-five pound class, respectively; and by Ed Daisy” McCartney and Bob Gibson, one hundred forty-five and heavyweight class, district runners-up, respectively. Ed and Bob also vied for the honor of being the most improved wrestler on the squad. Other boys important in the success of this year’s team were: ninety-five lbs., Bobby Schell; one hundred five lbs., Dan Finochio; one hundred fifteen lbs.. Captain Fred Selby; one hundred twenty-five lbs.. Buck Saunders; one hundred fifty-five lbs., Flavian Massimo and one hundred sixty-five lbs., Louis Smith. Next year, Mr. Horner and Captain-elect Gibson, who received every vote but his own in the election of next year’s team, hope to have another equally fine team built around the non-graduates of this year’s team. 48 GIRLS' TENNIS—Back. row. left tn u. . . , , Patterson.

Sennii Once If lore Si • Boys’ Tennis The tennis court, center of sports and social life of the spring, was the stage for our well played games. The team was built around last year’s varsity men Ray Cordicr (4), Leo Jordan (2), and Bruce Stewart (4). Bob Betson (2) was a newcomer to the tennis ranks, and judging from his past record we can expect a future star. Bob ranked in the first ten in the boy’s class of the Middle Atlantic States. Stanley McCausland was the only present Varsity member to play in his freshman year. Last year he played Junior Varsity and this year was a strong pillar in our defense. For his first year on Varsity Jack Hanscll showed that his three years of experience were not in vain. Whether the sun was glaring and hot or the wind strong and cold, the team fought hard for their victory, never losing their will to win the laurels for Lansdowne. • Girls’ Tennis We feel quite safe in forecasting a very successful season for the girls tennis team this spring. The team is fortunate in having four skilled letterwomen remaining with them from last year. They arc four Juniors: Tinker” Harmcr, Martha Benedict, Marge” and Jan” Shoemaker. One of the most promising underclassmen is Annette Danenhower, a Sophomore, who played on the J. V. last year.

Bent on looking forward, we are often negligent in looking backward and realizing the inestimable value of advice and guidance offered but too often foolishly refused. In the past four years your sympathy and wisdom have counteracted youthful ignorance, impetuosity and arrogance, for, although some of our aims may seem to have failed, they may in the future succeed. So, to Mr. Kraber, our class adviser, we express our present and the knowledge of future appreciation.

They formally opened their social season with the Junior-Freshmen party, at which time they entertained the bewildered newcomers with motion pictures, games, and refreshments. Much of the success of the fall play was due to the five Juniors: Edwin Garrett and Fadra Le Blanc, the stars, Don MacKinnon, Elmer Seal, and Bob Thompson. Moreover, without the help of the Junior members of the various committees, the Dramatics Department would have had a hard struggle. In March, the class held the most talked of dance of the year. The Junior Prom, which was a gala affair with a large attendance. In boys athletics, they placed at least three members on every varsity team, and each player made a name for himself in the world of sports. Jack Mooney, Bill Smith, Bob Gibson, Ray Wille, Jack Samson, and Richard Craton were on the varsity football squad, and many others were regulars on the Junior Varsity. Jack Mooney, who played end, deserves special mention for receiving honorable mention on the All-Suburban grid eleven. The girls were represented equally well in hockey, basketball, and tennis.

Junior talent runs in many directions, as was shown by the large representation in the A. A. Revue. With Andy Rubin acting as master of ceremonies, the Juniors danced and sang their way through the evening, led by one of Betty Bonsall’s famous dances, Martha Benedict’s voice raised in song, and Joyce Pease’s interpretation of a Hawaiian dance. Many a cheer at the football and basketball games was led by six pretty Junior cheerleaders: Dot Hyland, the captain, Jeanne Warren, Marion Dems, Patty Doyle, Dot Mason, and Jessie Featherer. At Thanksgiving, they turned out six large baskets of food for the needy, as each home room performed its own responsibilities with proficiency. They were represented in the All-State orchestra by the talented viola player, Jeanne Anne Bressler. Also many of the members of that class distinguished themselves in art work. Under the guidance of their competent adviser. Miss Mary McAllister, and their hardworking class officers, Richard Barlow, Janet Shoemaker, Marjorie Shoemaker, and Al Eberhardt, the Junior class has been most successful in all they have undertaken.

The class officers, Leo Jordan, President; Marilyn Hoopes, Vice-President; Shirley Lyster, Secretary, and Wesley Davenport, Treasurer, did their share and more to make the year a success. The first money (money’s always first) which Wesley proudly recorded in the class account book was contributed by the feminine faction, demon candy-sellers at the basketball games. This particular group of salesmen was under the direction of Mary Beryl Wirkheiser, and the money her girls made was used for the Sophomore Hop, one of the social musts” of the year. The art committee’s decorations for this dance and the energetic endeavors of other committees were the basis for its success. We also enjoyed the A. A. Revue much better because of Helen Parke Schrader, who imitated Zazu Pitts, Kathryn Hepburn, and Stepin Fetchit in her monologue entitled '’Bargain Basement.” Was it any wonder that she walked away with the first prize? Likewise, Bobo” Stewart was the star of the cheer leaders who snared second prize. Our athletic department found the value of the Sophomore boys and girls in another way, for quite often it was a Sophomore who pulled a team out of a tough spot. On the more aesthetic side, the music department, consisting of band, orchestra, and chorus, was dotted with Sophomore members, each doing his bit to produce harmony and rhythm. Throughout the year, Responsibility was just another name for this enterprising class, whose officers and Student Council representatives were constantly on their toes, working diligently and thoroughly. Thus, when Home Room Responsibility came around, there was no lack of willing workers and no drop in efficiency. Among various other duties, several gallant Sophomore boys ushered at the National Honor Society installation, while the hearts of Juniors and Seniors throbbed with the hope that they would be elected. Incidentally, there will be plenty of Honor Society material in this class next year. There is also the Garnet and Gray staff which would not have been complete without several journalistic Sophomores, possible editors-of-the-futurc for our school paper. Yes, it was easy to see that this class had overcome the horrors of its Freshman year and arrived at the door of wisdom. The Lahian salutes the class of 43”!

Under the leadership of President Bob Engle, Vice-President William Davenport, Secretary Anne Boswell, and Treasurer Robert Dukes, the Freshmen actively swung into high school life advised by Mr. Coronway. To become acquainted with the faculty, the boys early in the year brought their dads to a Father-Son gathering, sponsored by the National Honor Society. A parallel affair, conducted by the Girls’ Hi-Y, saw the girls bringing their mothers to an afternoon tea. Once settled into the routine, the class of ’44 stepped forward scholastically, placing eleven on the first honor roll. In a like manner and with the same enthusiasm. Freshman classes assumed Home Room Responsibility, which gave them an opportunity to enforce the same rules which were first applied to them in the Fall. These responsibilities were under direct charge of the Freshman Student Council delegates. In a social way this class was also a success, being initiated to the whirl by the Junior-Freshman party. A good many attended and profited, and the lower classmen felt very much at home when they saw fellow classmen performing for the group. The Home Room 54, reading from left to right, top row: W.

Revue, too, gave Freshmen talent its chance to shine in the persons of Lynn Burt, guitarist, George Bach and Paul Hertl, actors, and Irvin Williams and Jack Powers, Student Council thespians. And while the above were in front of the curtain, with a will to work, Fred Scheerer, Joe Van Zandt, Bill Kiss, Paul Hertl, George Bach, and Bill Dallam joined the stage crew, the men behind the scenes on the L. H. S. stage. Musically the Forty-Fourers became w'cll established. With a good representation in the orchestra, band and chorus, they proved their mettle, sending Anne Dus-inberre, cellist, with the Lansdowne delegation to Southeastern District Orchestra. In sports, this energetic class again indicated its spirit. Freshman basketball and football seasons were good and bad respectively, the latter principally because two star players were Junior Varsity material. During wrestling season, two outstanding freshmen. Bill Dallam and Bob Schell, made the varsity. Bill, also, was one of two who won in their respective classes for Lansdowne in the District wrestling meet held here. On the baseball diamond the Freshman team appeared and was favored with a successful season, a climax worthy of the class’s efforts throughout the year. 75 Home Room reading from left to right, top row: f.

At Darby they caught the eight forty train and changed again to buses at Baltimore. From there everyone proceeded to Annapolis where the Midshipmen naturally took the limelight.’' After lunching at Carvel Hall, they toured the Franciscan Monastery, The National Episcopal Cathedral, and other interesting points in Washington. Dinner was heartily eaten at the New Ebbitt Hotel to the delightful strains of Amopola.” After a movie with a colorful stage show, they returned to the hotel where the dining room had been converted into a dance floor. Again Amopola” was number one on the Senior Hit Parade. In the morning at breakfast, the boys had complete control of the jutebox,” and our good friend Amopola” greeted our ears with sickening notes. Al. Tolley was informed that it was his birthday, and everyone sang Happy Birthday Dear Albert” hoping that the cook would bake him a birthday cake—which was exactly what he did in time for dinner. The educational part of the day was begun by visiting the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the White House, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. According to the girls, Mr. Edgar Hoover knows how to pick his guides. They were the favorite subject for photography. Due to the foresight of the chaperones whose corns predicted rain with slightly rising temperatures for Saturday, we visited Mount Vernon Friday afternoon contrary to our original plans. At dinner Amopola” was cut off to permit Mr. Abbott to read a telegram from the Juniors telling us to Be Good.” In the evening, three groups were formed to go roller skating, swimming, or to the movies. Mr. Abbott and Mrs. Petty proved their ability to stand up on skates, while many of the girls found soldiers as their partners. Again we danced until one o’clock, you guessed it, Amopola.” 7« Third row. left to right: Burkhart, Hulmc, Stewart, Hunt, Harris. Crew, Hale. Rupp, F.vans. The Capitol at night.

S., the S” standing for service with a capital letter, for Fred is a veritable Little Jack Horner with a finger in every pie cooked around the school, and Betty is a whirlwind of hustle who has the knack of looking busy even when she’s not. Fred is most familiar in the role of Student Council President and a very progressive one he is. And we touch very lightly on the fact that he is captain of the wrestling squad and thus in a second sense a Little Jack Horner.” Betty Harris and Bill Evans, Most Popular Seniors,” stand on their own merits of popularity. Bill because of his generous smile and sincere friendliness, Betty because of—well just look at Betty. Bill is class President this year and a m ghty important member of the wrestling and football teams. He’s an all-around fellow, modest enough to say of himself, I was a sap the first two years in L. H. S., but I’ve gotten wise to myself these last two years.” Betty is an old hand at this popularity stuff since she was voted the most popular girl in her Freshman Class. It’s something of an accomplishment or something to keep such a rating from the Freshman through to the Senior year. Teammates also, in the superlative class are Lillian Heffner and Carrol Hauptle, considered the Helen of Troy and the Adonis respectively, of the class of ’41. Lillian is a sparkling maid of the brunette variety. This Hauptle chap apparently cannot be beaten, having been acclaimed number one man for looks when a Freshman. But who are we to improve on Nature with mere words? Betty Dallam Betty Harris Lillian Heffner Fred Selby Bill Evans Carol! Hauptle Ann Boswell Kilty lx u Miller Dorothy Hyland Bob Kngic lack Bowers Fred Welle • Popularity is something of a complicated affair, but this is invariably true: to be popular is to have a wealth of qualities other than the graces of a social butterfly and booby. In the Junior class, Dot Hyland and Fred Welte most clearly personify that intangible attraction which makes the older people turn and say, My, there’s a sweet child,” and the younger generation turn and say, Oh, boy!” But in fact, any one will agree that Dot and Fred’s popularity is due to, oh, very real, reasons. For instance Dot is not only a very pretty and winning young girl, but is also captain of the cheer leaders, a basketball nifty, a member of Girls’ Hi-Y, Honor Roll Student, and so on ad infinitum. Fred, that handsome lad, is star sport material, having a letter from almost every athletic team in the school. Why, we have even heard it said that Fred is a champion Tiddly-winks player. Among the sombre-somnolcnt-but-they’re-no-saps-Sophomores, Kitty Lou Miller and Jack Bowers won the acclaims of He’s a jolly good fellow!” Kitty being a charming young Miss with a beautiful smile and Jack a disarming young lad, long on the brains, they are hands down the Most Popular Sophomores.” Incidentally, the popularity of these two is definitely not limited to their own class as any bright young student of Lansdowne will tell you, for Kitty Lou is a by-word for sunshine and laughter and Jack is a pseudonym for intelligent generosity. The immediate inferiors of the latter class, the blushing Freshmen, gave a vote of confidence to their cabinet and put the laurel wreaths atop the heads of President Bob Engle and Secretary Anne Boswell. Already well-known and well-liked, both Bob and Anne have proved that Freshmen can be very nice people and that this particular class of Freshmen are particularly nice and recognize a good thing when they see it.
