All American 1939-1946 Columbia Medalist Arise A nd The j Of lo That Past f And While The administration of Lansdowne High Sch x l supervises not only the teaching of fundamentals, but also the preparation of citizens to face national problems. Lansdowne High School students may be scattered far and wide throughout our nation after graduation, but it can be hoped that they will take the ideals of their school: promptness, efficiency, and careful organization in thought and action with them wherever they may go. Home at last from the Navy, Dr. S. N. Ewan, Jr., our Superintendent of Schools, now adapts his gift for organization to our needs. During his year and a half of renewed work in the field of education, he has kept the administration running smoothly, and his popularity has grown among the teachers and students. His charming secretary, smiling Mrs. Margaret S. Chaffee, deftly handles perplexing details and helps to keep a good office atmosphere for his work. Dr. E. Carlton Abbott, principal of Lansdowne High School, carries out the important duties of keeping the school orderly and its educational DR. E. CARLTON ABBOTT MISS MARY E. L1NDENMUTH standards high. His advice, sound judgment, and encouraging praise help to solve student and teacher problems and to raise the spirits of all. As chairman of the Allied Youth Council, he helps to sponsor outside activities for young people. His secretary, energetic Nada Celletich, keeps the busy high school office running smoothly. With ideas broadened by travel throughout America, Miss Mary Emma Lindcnmuth has at last returned from service with the Waves to serve her country again in guiding young people on the road The Lansdowne School Board, by wisely determ in ing school policy, blazes a path through education for teachers and students to follow. Its carefully deliberated decisions mark the pattern for the school year. Its capable secretary, Mrs. R Young, carries out its instructions with efficiency. The combined efforts of the administrators and of the School B ard help all our students on their road toward learning. No problem is too small for their careful, helpful, and sympathetic attention. SCHOOL BOARD Mr. Chailcs S. Musser, Mr. George P. Williams, Jr., Mrs. Rebckah W. Young, Secretary, Mr. Theodore S. Fetter. Mrs. Robert J. TulU . M- Frede-ick S. Underhill. Dr. William E. ArnoM. Mrs. Roy F. Lar-son. Mr Thomas E. Wih lis. Dr. S. N. Ewan. Jr. INFORMAL CHAT P. McClure, S. Klcckner, W Jones chat in the upper hall between classes. Starting along the road of education we find Mr. L. Gershman and Mr. H. Laubach teaching the freshmen the fundamentals of English, Miss M Hartman and Miss T. Perkins taking up the problems of the sophomores, and Miss M. McCullough and Mr H. Laubach instructing the seniors in English literature. Under the guidance of Mrs. V. Christ and Miss Perkins, the Juniors indulge in American literature and journey throughout the country in learning about American authors. Along the journey, most of us come across languages. Miss M Cixik helps us to master Latin, the foundation of the romance languages. Miss M Hoopcs gives us the French atmosphere, while Miss M diGiovanni and Miss T. Perkins bring to us the language of Spain and the South American countries. Many freshmen continue with their scientific interests under Mr. S. Kleckner. In biology, under Mr. G. Epley, all are thrilled by what they see while peering through a microscope at almost infinitesimal objects. The chemistry and physics students, too, arc well informed by Mr. P. McClure. Studying courses like these is just like traveling through a realm of enchantment! What an amazing journey the math students have! Mr A. Coronway initiates the frosh into what “x equals, while Mrs. E Morris tells us ahout lines and angles in plane geometry. Mr. H. Freeman teaches the older students advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry. Mr. W. Jones guides us through ancient history, then brings us up-to-date in the history of our own state, Pennsylvania. Mr. H Drake gives us a good background for the appreciation of our country in American history, while Mr. E. Snyder and Mr. L. Richards keep us informed in modern history and world affairs. Mr. Kraber prepares us for the business world in shorthand and typing: Mr. D. Smith in bookkeeping, junior business training, and salesmanship; Mrs. J. Felter in minor typing, office training, and commercial math; while Miss M Ankeny, in distributive education, helps us to start our careers. Left to right: Virginia L Christ, Margaret M.

The hoys' gym classes miss Mr. H Horner, who left us in January, hut Mr. P. Kuklentz has easily stepped into his place. Miss D. Harrington and he are doing their best to keep the teen agers in good physical condition, while Mr. W. Raddiffe teaches them health. Fashions and recipes from all parts of the country are tried out hy the future housewives in home economics under the direction of Mrs. H. Stephens and Miss M. Stevens. Mr. H. Hcrshcxrk and Mr. J. Aderhold instruct the hoys in industrial arts, while Miss K. Davis and Mr. D. Corbin bring to the attention of the students some of the fine arts. Mr. Corbin's band, orchestra, and choruses are well known, while the art work of Miss Davis' students is admired through' out the vicinity. But even if you can't travel, you can learn about our country through vicarious experiences by just going upstairs and asking Miss C. Sheafer to help you find a book in our well'Stocked library. Mr H. Drake demonstrates how to ruh down a chest of drawers which he made with his skillful hands. Mr. P. McClure feels that playing the clarinet is real relaxation from the obiective inquiries of his chemistry and physics classes. Mr. G. Epley’s coin collection, well' known to Lansdowne students, is a source of great enjoyment to him. Mr. L. Gershman is the concert-master of the Germantown Symphony Orchestra, which Eugene Ormandy calls “the best non-professional orchestra I’ve heard in my life. Mrs. E. Morris spends a large portion of her spare time collecting stamps. When the class of 1947 holds a reunion in several years, the various alumni will hale from col-leges in practically every state of the Union. From Syracuse in the North, Duke in the South, and the University of Southern California in the West, they will come with their vastly expanded knowledge of life in our great country. The class of 1947 leaves an outstanding record in the Lansdowne Hall of Fame. Under the capable leadership of class President James Pusey, ably as-sisted by Patricia Bryant, vice-president, Robert LePard, treasurer, and Kathleen Peters, secretary, the class was able to give a generous and enduring gift to the school. The Senior Class successfully sponsored two dances which were the social highlights of the year. One of the most outstanding dramatic productons of many years revealed itself in the all-senior presentation of “Arsenic and Old Lace. Coming from the folds of the Senior Class were two boys who distinguished themselves in the field of leadership: Bob Berry, president of the Honor Society, and Neil See, the democratic president of the Student Council. For the first time in four years, a Senior Class was able successfully to execute an overnight class trip. GRABBING A BITE K. Brown, T. Geary. W. Zorn. L. Morton, S. Bcnning, A. Woolford, and Mr. J.

A two day excursion to the capitol of this vast and abundant nation, Washington, D. C., climaxed “47V’ days at Lansdownc. The grand climax of twelve years in school came in the form of the Senior Prom, the most talked about activity of the year. The Baccalaureate service was beautiful and brought a message to each mem' ber of the class of 47” which will dwell indelibly in their hearts. Louise Mertz, president of the Hi-Y, was voted The Gtxxl Citizen” by a majority vote of her classmates. Marianne Patterson was distinguished by winning various radio and school contests, there-by heaping honor upon herself and her school. Three senior boys made history by meriting an invitation to visit the British Embassy in Washing-ton. Bob Berry, Alan Wmlford, and Preston Ough cemented Anglo-American relations by their four day visit with Lord Inverchapel, British Ambassador to the United States. The g xxlly counsel, keen interest, expert advice, and whole hearted support of the class advisor, Mr. H. Drake, piloted the Senior Class to the completion of a successful career at Lansdowne High. Mr. Drake has the thanks and the best wishes of all of the one hundred and eighty-seven students of the class of 47.” NEWS HUNGRY M. Magcns. D. Dickerson and M.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS—C. Townsend, J. Galantino, B. Marshall and D. Fellows, officers of the Freshman class discuss class problems. Our nation, abundant with natural resources, will need workers with adequate technical skill and proficiency to develop and maintain our powerful position in the world today. Tomorrow's chemists, physicists, and scientists are receiving their training in our physics, chemistry and general science classes under Mr. P. McClure and Mr. S. Kleckner. Every citizen, whether entering scientific fields or not, will profit by an understanding of what makes our country tick. Research papers written, experiments performed, intensified studies all are knowledge gained and experience acquired for our country's future technical men. Biology teaches us that all the races of our coun-try have one common origin: we are all brothers. Under Mr. G. Epley, the study of heredity, man, flowers, insects, all help us to gain understanding and develop an appreciation for the world around us. Much time is spent in the study of Mendel's laws of heredity. This teaches us to better understand nature and the human race. One of the most out standing phases of the course is the dissecting of frogs, crayfish, and worms. This gives the student an idea of the inner mechanism of the body. The study of anatomy is enriched by the life-size model of a human body with all the organs labeled and removable. General Science gives the pupil an idea of the elementary processes of science. It is through this course that the student may learn the help that science affords in everyday living. Mathematics, the exact science, teaches us to think clearly and logically. We are taught accuracy, MATH SCHOLARS—C. Barney. Mrs. E Morris. M. Hoy read about the lives of famous mathematicians. LINES BECOME COMPLICATED G. Kramer, H. Carroll explain the fundamentals of a plane geometry theorem. THREE MINDS WORK D Jordan, D. Dunkle, M. Spears get together on a difficult geometry problem. EINSTEINS EXPLORE F Wakefield, R.

Ganjamic work on a difficult experiment in chemistry class. reasoning, and the practical application of mathe-matics to everyday life. Mr. H. Freeman, Mrs. E. Morris, and Mr. T. Coronway are the teachers who prepare us with the logical methods of treating the complex problems met not only in the scientific field, but in all walks of life. The mathematics department offers algebra, plane and solid geometry, advanced algebra, and trigo nometry. All of these courses are vital to the stu-dent preparing for a scientific career. The use of the slide rule is taught to all students taking ad' vanced algebra. The laws of probability and per' mutations are also studied. If mathematics teaches us nothing else, it is believed that it teaches us to reason clearly and to develop good working habits. It will be from these classes that America's future engineers, business men, and professional men will emerge. The wheels of industry, business, and the community cannot keep turning without the pre cision, thought processes, and reasoning gained through an extensive study of mathematics. Fortyonc In social studies, Lansdowne students are meet' ing the Americas of today and yesterday. In an-cient history and world history, freshmen and sophomores learn the background of our way of life. American history makes juniors better citizens; Pennsylvania government makes freshmen wiser future voters. Seniors in world affairs feel need for American leaders. In the far past, the people of the world faced struggles, fundamentally the same as those we battle today. Their struggles against oppression, want, and misery laid the foundations of all our modern government and customs.

Jones and of Mr E. Snyder, they uncover the wealth of wisdom to he learned from the study of other people's lives, from copying the determ ina-tion, work, and courage that brought them success, and by avoiding the vices that brought the down' falls of many potential world leaders. American history students, directed by Mr. H Drake turn from the study of Old World prob' lems to the scanning of America's development. They begin with the voyage of the Vikings to Amer-ica, follow the explorations of the Cabots, study the Spanish exploitation of South America, and see new English settlements dot the coast of North America. Best of all, they can see democracy growing in each of the thirteen colonies. In Pennsylvania government classes, freshmen become acquainted with her history, complex political structure, economic importance, and hitherto unknown western and northern sections. The part of Pennsylvania as a battleground in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and her old Dutch settlements make her history much like a fascinating tour. In world affairs, seniors study America in relation to the world. They face home issues, such as the tariff question, as having bearing on the rehabilitation of other nations. They learn that starvation and misrule elsewhere may mean war at home. Social Studies courses are invaluable, for they prepare students for situations which they may meet as adults but with which as students they have no direct contact. In these classes, the students see America: the city, the country, the government, and the people. HOPE FOR PEACE- -K. Brown reading the preamble of the United Nations to K. Peters. G Holdsworth. W.

Here at Lansdownc High Schtxil it's our policy to take advantage of the variety our country offers, and languages are no exception. Those who study Spanish learn not only of the people in Spain, hut about the Spanish in America, some of whom live in the southwestern part of the United States. We also have a Spanish club which enables us to speak the language with more ease and perfection. French students would find their study of French useful if they ever went to Newf Orleans where a great many of the people still speak French. There is also a French club organized for those who are more advanced. Here the students see the lighter side of studying a language. They play games, sing songs, and even have refreshments. What use is Latin? This is a question often repeated. Well, take a look at almost any public building in the United States. No doubt you will find a Latin inscription. Latin can't be such a dead language when it lives inscribed on almost every structure of interest in our country. Those who take Latin for the third or fourth year are able to trans' late such books as Virgil's “Aeneid which most of them enjoy. Last of all what would we do without the knowb edge of English? As freshmen we brush up on our grammar and get acquainted with Shakespeare. Then, of course, we also practice writing composi' tions. During our sophomore year there is more grammar and composition work. We also continue our literary work by reading famous novels. Scribbler's Ink, a magazine containing the best writing of all the English classes, is edited by the sophomore class. In our junior year we study American literature. There are novels, essays, biog' raphies, poetry, short stories, and plays which ex' press the American way of life. We see distant places in the United States through the eyes of the authors who write about them and often wish it were possible to visit the scenes pictured in our literature. We also get practice in giving oral reports on the lives and backgrounds of the writers. JL anij cyLanc ua eJ — S noL en m us:... Finally, as seniors we study English literature in order to acquaint ourselves with the culture of another nation besides our own. Again we encounter Shakespeare, but this time most of us are able to enjoy his writing more because we have a better foundation in literature. Some of us go in groups to see some of his plays presented in a professional way. We also dip into Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Tennyson's Idylls of the King along with many other English classics. A knowledge of English together with any foreign language we might have studied, will certainly let us feel, as we travel through life, that no matter where we live or where we visit, we have acquired skills which will acquaint us with the culture of other people, some of whom live in our own country.

A person who is traveling must know thoroughly his routes and must handle his automobile expertly. These factors which make for smooth traveling can be used to illustrate the work of the Industrial Arts Department in our school. The drawing of plans makes up a great part of the work of Mr. Hershock's mechanical drawing classes. Students of mechanical drawing come to realize through their work the importance of careful plans. A beginner in mechanical drawing should master the fundamentals of elementary drawing. Advanced students are able to spend their time on more complicated drawings, such as machine design’s. Surveying is directly related to one's knowledge of routes by which to travel. It is an important step in the building of roads as well as an essential function in many other aspects of our lives. The surveying classes in our school, under Mr. Her-shock's supervision, study the theory and practice of surveying. This course often points the way to a career for interested and able students. In the w x d shop Mr. Aderhold finds that skillful handling of the tools and machines is just as necessary to safety and fine workmanship as careful driving is to a successful trip. The boys who take wood shop construct good-looking practical pieces of furniture of which they may be proud. They learn valuable tool techniques which they will be able to use in later years, either in jobs or for recreational purposes. The only people in Lansdowne High School who are at all familiar with the work of the Industrial Arts Department are those boys and few girls who study some phase of it. The rest of the students know little about the interesting and practical work that is done in the basement rooms of our school. There, Mr. Aderhold and Mr. Hershock instruct the students in the skills which prepare them for careers in such fields as drafting or carpentry. DRAWING UP PLANS- -J. Glaser, D. Gordon, L.

NO CREASES S McQuaid pressing her material. Lansdowne High School's Home Economics Department is the center of many interesting projects. With the help of the latest fashion magazines, from all parts of the country, the girls in Mrs. Stephens' sewing classes decide on a project. They make such things as pajamas, wool skirts, bathing suits, blouses and summer sport clothes. At the end of the semester they model their garments and mark each other. This year Mrs. Stephens showed movies on different wools, cottons and other materials which were a big help to the girls in selecting their material. A good housewife should know not only how to sew but also how to cook. Room 2 of our school is just the place to learn. Here under the careful supervision of Miss Stevens the girls prepare many tantalizing dishes from all parts of the country such as Spanish rice from the middle west, potatoes from Idaho, and baked beans and brown bread from New England. The two sunshine states, Florida and California, supply the classes with different kinds of fruits which they can always use to good advantage. Boys as well as girls enjoy cooking class where they can make appetizing dishes. Although the cooking classes serve several luncheons during the year, their two biggest projects are the Honors Banquet, served by the freshmen girls, and the Home and School Banquet. All over the United States from Maine to California there are designers struggling to get ahead. Polly Page, a young designer of women's clothes in Washington, D. C., was no exception. It was inside Polly's dress shop that Fashion Mirror, a fashion show, presented this spring by the Lansdowne High School Home Economics and Art Departments, took place. The first scene was laid in the cutting r x)m of Polly's salon where buyers from all over the country selected their models. The buyers were portrayed by the boys from the differ ent art classes and the models from the sewing classes. A few of the girls who took both sewing and art designed, made, and hand painted their projects. The other scene was laid in Polly's designing room One of Polly's customers was her father's fiancee, who had spent a lot of money for a trousseau of unbecoming clothes from Paris. Polly designed a whole new outfit for her which made her look much more attractive. The climax of the show came when Paula Wheeler and her mother came to Polly's salon. Paula, engaged to a South American diplomat, wanted Polly to design her trousseau and the dresses of her attendents, which Polly did. Thus, with Carol Godshalk modeling the bridal gown. Sue McQuaide as the maid of honor, Marjorie Hosmer, Molly Bechtel, Else Ferguson, Martha See, Joan Davies and Lois Hart, as the bridesmaids, the fashion show of 1947 was successfully completed.

NO MISTAKES ALLOWED R. Baker computing an account on the adding machine. During the past year the Commercial Department, under the able supervision of Mr. R. Kraber, has been a great asset to our high school. One need not travel far and wide to secure secretaries, typists, and accounting experts when they can be found right here in our own town. The Commercial Department of Lansdowne High School has continued to do its utmost to train students to adapt themselves to the business world and its standards. It gives them a variety of all types of office work and teaches the fundamentals of the use of office machines. Each year a girl is appointed by the faculty to assist Dr. Abbott's secretary. This year Ruseanne Hogan was selected. Miss N. Gelletich, a graduate of the class of 46 of Lansdowne, was chosen as secretary to Dr. Abbott when Mrs. J. Lystcr left us last year. Mr. D. Smith, a graduate of Elizabethtown Col- lege, came this year to teach the important subjects of J.B.T., bookkeeping, salesmanship, and commercial law. Classes in office training, typing, and commercial math are conducted by Mrs. J. Fclter. Instruction in advanced typing and shorthand is given by Mr. R. Kraber to prepare commercial students for better than average positions. Another group of future successful citizens in the business world is prepared by Miss M. Ankeny, who teaches the Distributive Education students math, English, economics of distribution, merchandise information, and job problems in the morning and supervises their work as they gain practical experience in a variety of positions in the afternoon. The most important benefits from Lansdowne's Distributive Education course are the development of work experience, pleasant personalities, and proper work attitudes. Each student prepares a Fifty merchandise information manual on some subject of his choice. Research into the fields of oil, cotton, rubber, etc., has been carried on in planning and completing these manuals. Financially, this course has been very profitable for the students. During the past year, they earned approximately $17,000 on their part-time jobs with some students getting as much as $96 per month. In addition. Miss Ankeny is most active in community affairs. She may also be found at work in the Distributive Education Department of Temple University. Another of her duties is training non-Distributive Education students for Christmas and Easter work and helping to secure jobs for them. Two awards are being given this year for outstanding students in Miss Ankeny's classes. The Lansdowne Business Association is giving $2 5 in cash, and an additional $10 gift will be presented by the Distributive Education class itself. lousiness f eal? NO MISTAKES ALLOWED C.

In traveling through the forty-eight states, we find many schools with different branches of the same organizations to which Lansdowme High School belongs. Whenever we meet those sport' ing the keystone shaped pin of the National Honor Society, we know that they represent fine char acter, scholarship, leadership, and service. Moreover, we have found that quite a few schools also have organizations resembling our Student Council and Hi Y. Since the Student Council's officers and representatives are elected by the students, it is a truly democratic group. The main aim of the Hi Y girls is to be of real service to their school. We are proud of these organizations. The Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Miss Gx k and Louise Mertz, has a long list of accomplishments this year. It has sponsored a speaker and the Bucknell Glee Club in assembly. The Social Service Committee has held a freshman tea and a dessert party for the new members. The Ways and Means Committee has made this possible by managing a candy stand, selling wrapping paper, and sponsoring a dance. The Sch x l Beautiful Com mittee, perhaps the hardest working, has been responsible for the floral decorations seen in the hall and the attractiveness of the rock garden. The Hi Y also sponsors the Frosh-Soph swimming, archery, badminton, and hockey clubs. Under the direction of President Neil See and sponsor Miss Lindcnmuth, the Student Council has taken many steps forward. It revitalized its fine cafeteria and home room responsibility programs. For the first time in many years, stage crew' and art groups were given representation. Socially, it sponsored a dance and was host to the Suburban Student Council Rally. Treasurer Bob Gortner has done an efficient job of managing the schcxil store. Being a member of the National Honor Society is the most coveted dream of all aspiring junior and senior students. With capable Bob Berry as presi-dent and Miss Htxipes as sponsor, the Honor Society has successfully managed a variety of activities. It has taken charge of the candy stand at one of the f(x tball games, given its annual Honors' Banquet, and initiated the newly elected junior and senior members. Fiftyfive ORCHESTRA First row: R.

The Choral Club has presented a program at Swarthmore High Schml and later a radio program over WIBG. A Music Festival, given in early March, under the inspiring leadership of Mr. D.

But while in Brooklyn, one must remember that strange things can happen there. Dead bodies move in and out of window seats, and sweet old ladies poison lovely old men to put them out of their misery. All these things and more were seen in this year's senior play, “Arsenic and Old Lace, directed by Mrs. V. Christ. Other dramatic productions included a radio play dealing with an incident in the life of Edgar Allen Poe and a dramatization of his short story, “The Fall of the House of Usher. Later, this was pre' sented over radio station WIBG. “The Birth of Silent Night, a Christmas play, was given in as' sembly before Christmas vacation, and this spring the students were entertained with a presentation of B x th Tarkington's play, “The Trysting Place. The Art Department has undertaken many projects which have served to acquaint the students with different parts of the country. Through this course, the classes have learned of art and designing used in certain sections of the country and what types are typical of these parts. One interesting phase of this year's work has been the making of ceramic plates and book ends. The designs were taken from the old Pennsylvania Dutch designs, Indian patterns from the West, and many others typical of American origin. Painting portraits of real models, doing land' scapes in charcoal and painting them, and designing their own home from the Cape Cod, Georgian, Spanish, Colonial, or Western ranch styles, and furnishing them to their own individual tastes has been a favorite part of the work. Another big job that falls on the Art Department is making the decorations for all the dances. Many hours are spent after school preparing the various decorations that make the dances so enjoyable. Many times the students have had to use references in order to get the costumes of their subjects the right size and shape. The main project for this year has been the spring fashion show put on through the combined efforts CARVING AN IDEA - PASTORAL—J Shepherd WATER COLOR ARTIST B.

A regular fashion exhibit tixik place for the benefit of the buyers from a clothing house. Miss Page was then given the task of designing and making her best friend's trousseau. At a loss for different ideas, her head designer fell asleep and dreamed of past fashions. Her dream showed the history of costumes from the early Egyptian era to the chic modes of today. The art students acted as dolls and exhibited the beautifully printed paper costumes. There were students modeling real wedding gowns dating from the nineteenth century to the late twenties. Finally, in the last scene the modern bridal party came in exhibiting the splendid work a good designer can do, whether or not she is Parisian. These programs in which the art students have been engaged have proved to be both interesting and fruitful.

Our team was ably directed by Mr W Jones, one of Lansdowne's truly great coaches. Our opening contest with Media proved to be a see-saw battle until the last quarter when a pass and a touchback gave Media a victory. In our following games with Darby and Ridley Park, Lansdowne fought winning battles until the last few moments when our opponents were able to secure the single goal or point needed to win. Ted Geary's interception helped us become the first team to score upon the mighty Upper Darby, but the Royals came back to overpower our small squad.

Ably coached by Mr. W. Radclitfc, who took over the local dribblers for the first time after returning from the Navy, the Lords displayed a scrappy but rather spasmodic brand of ball. The Lansdowne courtmen produced a well-rounded team that functioned smoothly together. No one player can be singled out, but the all-round play of regulars J. Eltonhead, H. Powell, A. Sharpe, P. Purse, and J. Mathews, along with W. Munch, R. Wright, A. Hill, B Williams, the McClaren twins, and W. Valentine, paced the quintet in their fight for league supremacy.

Outstanding personal successes were scored by Rus Harlan and Ken Brown, champs in the 127 and 185 lb. class, respectively; and by Bob Hopkins, captain, and Lee Williams, outstanding in their class.

Always on hand to boost the morale of our athletes are Lansdowne's peppy cheer leaders. Their spirit and snap are what bring forth those hearty cheers from the crowd. A fighting spirit and the will to-win were the outstanding characteristics of this year’s girls’ teams. The varsity hockey team got pre season training at camp in the Poconos for the first time. They played a snappy, fast-moving game which won for them above a .500 average. The Bergner trophy was awarded to Jane Murphy, captain, for her outstanding play throughout the season. Under the excellent coaching of Miss D. Harrington, the varsity basketball team developed a swift offensive brand of ball. Shirley MacKinnon and Jane Murphy, playing their second year on varsity, along with Jean Powers and Carolyn Hoopes ac counted for the scores chalked up by the team. Lois Deiss, captain, Doss Roedel, Peg Kleckner, and Ruth Eddy, the guards, worked hard to keep down their opponents' scores. The J.V. hockey and basketball teams both finished their seasons with very promising records: hockey, five wins, two losses; basketball, seven wins, two losses. With this encouragement, plus several returning Iettermcn, Coach Harrington looks forward optimistically to next season. Returning from last year’s tennis team to form the nucleus of this year's squad are Jean Powers, Jane Murphy, Carolyn Hoopes, and Captain Marion Bierly. Marion plays a fast, sure game and is completing her fourth year on varsity as well as her second year as captain. C ontrilmte to GIRLS HOCKEY—First row: P. Kleckncr. L. Deiss, B. Wagner. S.

Lansdowne has become more aware of the necessity for and benefits derived from a wider scope of recreational training as a means of healthy self'expression, an essential root of democracy, gcxxl citizenship, and ultimately a better world. The gym classes, under Miss D. Harrington's able guidance, form a concrete basis for this expression. Here the girls learn and participate in the varied phases of physical recreation: hockey, scxrcer, basketball, volleyball, softball, folk and modern dancing. With this sound foundation the girls may further enjoy the sports in the Freshman-Sophomore Girls Club. This organization, ably supervised by Miss T. Perkins and several Hi Y members, strives to create fellowship, friendships, and fun, as well as proficiency in a sport of the girl's choice bowling, tennis, badminton, hixrkey, swimming, or archery.
