I must discover some of a richer color to spruce up this living room.” The students of Lansdowne appreciate the value of a well-decorated home in fostering happier relations within the family and they devote their freshman year to grasping the fundamentals of color combination and architectural design.

Also to live a well-balanced life not only with neighbors but with a marital partner, one must possess a sparkling sense of humor. 'Phis quality is unfolded in students through a proficiency in cartooning. Self-expression, too. assumes a top place in even individual's personality. In modern art. pupils have the opportunity to draw as they feel. Juniors and seniors contribute in numerous other ways to worthwhile projects. Among these are scenery for school productions and story book posters for grade-school children. Lansdowne High's artists create happiness both for themselves and others through their work. Foods PLANNED DIET .... A Challenge to Ingenuity keeping a home and preparing delicious meals becomes second nature to any girl and to even one of our big football heroes who is trained by Miss Stevens. Under her guidance, the girls and boys learn preparation of meals and the proper way to serve them. The girls enjoy their Thanksgiving project, a pumpkin pie. and marvel at their meat loaf dinner. Once a week about twenty-five home-minded fel- lows don white aprons and indulge in the culinary arts. The boys enjoy heartily the giant size spaghetti dinner which proves their training is practical. The students are proud of the fine reputation they earn by the outstanding work they do in connection with the Honor’s Banquet. Home and School Dinner, and many faculty luncheon and teas. C.

Clothing NEWEST FADS Clothes Make Us Socially Confident “Mary. I'm proud of you. The dress looks lovely. Mary beamed within. She had made that dress. It looked exac tly the way she wanted it to look. There were many Marys in Lansdowne this past year, for the techniques of sewing and wearing c lothes to the best advantage were learned right here in sewing c lass. This one dress did many things for Mary. It made her confident that she had the ability to make other garments; it made her think economically and spend her money wisely, and most important of all it made her cheerful. Lansdowne girls ability to sew and combine striking colors was developed under the capable guidance of Mrs. Stephens, who ably prepares the girls for their duties as homemakers. Her students not only learn the fundamental techniques of sewing but also the quality. strength, and workability of textiles and the ability to make wise purchases. This is very important to a girl who wants to keep in stvle but still must stay within a budget. The ability to sew and selec t useful fabrics and by so doing please herself and her friends is one of the big answers to a girl’s happiness. A. Origiio, A. Rogers, A. Yaroubian, J. Godshalk. anti .

Carlton Abbott, our former principal. is vitally interested in preparing our students to face life together not only in this small community. but wherever their future home may be. Dr. Abbott has lived in the community for many years, has served as principal of the high school for the last 10 years. As a result he is well acquainted with the ideas, problems, and hopes of the students. Likewise, as the former president and a very active member of the Allied V outh Council, he constantly strives to secure every thing possible to enrich the lives of the youth of Lansdowne. Also, working along with us high school students, helping to solve our many problems and to make our lives better as we face life together, is Mr. Joseph D. Moore, our new principal. From the very first day of school, his friendliness and sincere interest have made us enjoy working with him for ourselves, our school, and our community. As Mr. Moore says, his main purpose is to “let all know what's going on so that everyone can do a better job.” Mr. Moore's belief in honesty and above board action has made him a very popular principal. The atmosphere of cheerful efficiency which pervades our high school office centers about the amiable personality of Miss Mary E. Lindenmuth. guide and mentor of every student.

There are five charming and hardworking secretaries who keep the Superintendent's and the high school offices running smoothly. Mrs. Margaret Chaffee, who was elected as of January. 194ft, to fill Mrs. Young's position as Secretary of the School Hoard, is also the chief clerk in Dr. Abbott’s office. Assisting Dr. Abbott arc Mrs. Margaret S. Flynn, a former graduate of Lansdowne. who works in the morning, and Jennifer Maryanski. a fortunate senior commercial student, who takes her place in the afternoon. Mr. Moore’s secretary is friendly Miss Nada Gelletich, who is kept busy all day long w ith answering the telephone, typing, and helping to solve the many and varied problems of our students. Relieving her at lunch time and assisting in the afternoons is Susie McQuaid. another qualified senior girl from the commercial department. Although we deeply regret “Lncle Fred I nder-hill's resignation as president of the Hoard of F.d-ucation, it is good to hear of his promise to keep his “office” as Lansdowne’s most faithful sports sj ectator and rooter. The pleasant smile of popular Mrs. Young is also greatly missed by faculty and students. Among the newly elected members are Mr. Stevens, Dr. Arnold.

Our (acuity teaches us not only to acquire factual material hut also to learn its practical application in this chaotic day. Studying English is no longer the mere absorption of grammar rules and memorization of unusable lines from great authors. Our teachers. Mr. I.auhaeh. Mr. Cershman. Miss Hartman. Mrs. Braughler. Mrs. Christ, and Miss McCullough help us to work out our personal problems by a study of plots, characters, motives and complications arising in the best written books. The modern school without a good library is an anachronism. Our librarian. Miss Schaefer, is very helpful to students working in research. Learning to understand foreign people, their languages and habits, not only acquaints Americans with different ways of living but also points out in relief our own weaknesses as well as strong points. This invaluable material Miss Cook. Miss Hoopes. Miss diGiovanni. and Mrs. Braughler endeavor to make clear through Latin. French, and Spanish. In the scientific department. Mr. Kleckner. Mr. Eplev. and Mr. McClure demonstrate the practical- ity and need of school science in everyday life. A study of the Presidential campaign and an analysis of our economic problems and contrast of our society with other lands are scrutinized in the social studies classes conducted by Mr. Jones. Mr. Snyder. Mr. Drake and Mr. Richards. In preparation for daily practical problems mathematics is fundamental. Freshmen, having learned the initial principles of algebra with Mr. Coronway later may advance to more complicated work in advanced algebra and geometry with Mr. Freeman and Mrs. Morris. Mr. Smith’s courses in bookkeeping, salesmanship, and junior business training prepares students in speed and efficiency. Future secretaries take Mr. Kraber and Mrs. Felter’s typing, shorthand, and office training courses. Miss Ankeny is already helping many students to become efficient in their w ork through Distributive Education.

Mechanics JOB SECURITY Enables Our Dreams to Come True No matter what career a boy enters, he wants to make sure that his pockets never have that 1930 depression emptiness. For that reason, many boys have been spending many hours during the week working with their hands, learning a skill that they can depend on to earn them a livelihood. Without a job. problems multiply, living becomes existing, family relations strained. The Industrial Arts department offers varied courses which meet diversified interests of boys and also girls. Students may choose among main electives mechanical drawing, surveying, metal or wood shop. The drawing of plans appears almost unfathomable to ninth graders when they are first faced with drawings. However, as the days and months quickly glide by. former complications become understandable. Observing surveyors in the community has often made many a boy wonder how streets can he accurately measured by the use of simple surveying instruments. Under Mr. Hershock's direction, surveying high school grounds and several surrounding streets becomes routine work. Boys find that a knowledge of drafting is extremely helpful as a background for engineering and similar vocations. The course includes a general survey of the field of aeronautics in the theory of flight, air craft engines, meteorology, and air navigation, supplemented by several field trips each year to aviation centers and air stations. Since the President s speech of last March and subsequent action by Congress, both younger and older boys hope to acquire more than just the fundamentals of aeronautics. A career in the Army or Navv Air Forces is being pondered by many of them and the oft-repeated warning by news and radio commentators stressing the importance of our Air Force is making them very much air-minded. With Mr. Aderhold and Mr. Hershock’s tireless effort, inexperienced workers soon discover latent skills and with a certain degree of initiative and perseverance produce projects of which they can be proud. It is evident that this course has even a deeper value. Kach person has his own work, his own responsibility his own satisfaction for a job well done. 22 L. I).

Shoppers This year the Distributive Education class, under the direction of Miss Ankeny, has had a very unique season. The twenty-one boys and girls have been preparing themselves for the business world. The class president. Robert Rushton. has spoken over the radio on the projects and accomplishments of the course. The students have made model stores to help prepare themselves to establish a business of their own. Also all year round the pupils have gone to school half the day and had practical experience in the afternoon. As usual Miss Ankeny has obtained jobs for those who have desired them. They have learned to w rap packages of all kinds and to put them on display in the two show cases. Many stores have given merchandise for display and study which were placed in the cases, one of which was contributed by Pep-j er's Pharmacy and another was purchased by the class. The students worked full time from Thanksgiving to Christmas in order to gain experience and a complete knowledge of their work. Among the students were three from neighboring schools. They have their own films and a screen to help them with their work. The class took two special trips this In January they went to New York to visit the larger stores. Macy’s in particular.

F rom the students observation and ex-perfence they are capable of going out into the world to continue on together towards success. Another group of future citizens in the business world is the commercial students. The department is an indispensihle part of the high school. The office training and typing students cut stencils and mimeograph notices of all kinds for the school. All the girls learn to handle complicated machines and to file correctly. Under the supervision of Mr. Kraher. Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Feller they gain the speed and accuracy needed for t ping and manipulating accounting machines. The bookkeeping classes learn to keep their employers hook straight or their household budgets balanced. Also, business training, salesmanship, and commercial law are taught to further the efficiency of the student. Each year a pupil is given the opportunity of working as an assistant to Mr. Moore’s secretary. Jennifer Maryanski. after half a year, has been promoted to private secretary to Dr. Abbott, and Susie McQuaid now holds her position. R. Roberts and R. Rushton scan Distributive education magazines for helpful hints. Efficiency adds up as J. hue-decke computes figures in her office training courses. L. McMillan works diligently on dentistry files. D. Cook and S. Keil prepare a typical store window in connection with their I). E. course. 25 Juniors NEIGHBORS Give Helping Hand In Time of Need R. Jordan, M. Hart, G. McCarthy, and J. Raker relax jor a hull session after class. The forty-niners this year found a mine of opportunity both in ac tivities and in scholastic fields. The Civic Forum League, its programs and discussions. united the students of Lansdowne High into a more closely knit fabric of understanding. Boys and girls alike participated wholeheartedly in sports, which also help to promote fair play and teamwork. Junior girls, serving in the Hi-Y. learned that its various activities afforded valuable experience. They felt harmony of thought and purpose as well as music in their new experience of singing with A Cappella. Feminine pirates charted the course of the Junior-Freshman party. With President Dick Jordan, Vice-president Mimi Hart. Secretary Joan Baker and Treasurer George McCarthy to lead them, the buccaneer’s dance was a huge success. And of course, with Mr. Snyder’s wise counsel, the Junior Prom was again a gala affair. In all activities and responsibilities, the juniors have proved their ability and desire to work together. now 1: Wm. Grew I). Randolph. F. Culbertson. L. Frey, P. Stine. S. Schaffer. Wm.

Sophomores FIRESIDE PALS Add Cheer After Day's Work Lansdowne High School can he proud of its energetic. “responsibility-conscious” sophomore class that worked so well together under the leadership of Mr. Epley and the alert officers: Jack Westenberger. president: Mildred McGhee, vice-president: Edward Ritter, treasurer: and Joan Barnes, secretary. No project was too challenging for them. The profit which the girls made hv selling candy at basketball games and wrestling meets helped to fill the class treasury. Leave it to the sophomores to think of a unique theme for the hop! Retreating from the beaten path, dancers found themselves in an exotic jungle atmosphere. Its fun and success will not soon be forgotten. Then. too. together with the freshmen they sponsored disk jockey Hal Moore’s “Junior Canteen” which featured the hit tunes, special dances and grand prizes. Besides participating in extra-curricular activities, the girls who ushered so efficiently at the lecture series also had an opportunity to hear the excellent speakers. The sophomore chorus lent their musical talent to the Thanksgiving assembly. Many boys and girls excelled in athletics, such as the Ritter twins in boys’ basketball: Bob Gallagher and Wilmer Grubb in football: Juanita Davis in girls' basketball: Nancy Snyder in hockey. These were just a few of the outstanding achievements of this up-and-coming class that worked together so well for the benefit of Lansdowne High School. Trying to plan unusual money-making projects for the Sophomore class are its officers, E. Ritter, J. Rarnes, M. McGhee, and J. W estenberger. How ]: C. Steward, G. Harrison, R. Fried, T Alden, R.

The Junior-Freshman party was the event which set the bewildered little freshmen with that out-of-place feeling on their feet, and made them feel that at last they were a part of the bustling community of the school. Throughout the year the freshman maintained high standards in their studies. Sincere school spirit, coupled with the awareness of how much true cooperation brings, has given this class their first lift on the road to success.

It's hard to cast off four years, and the friendships we've made, and the problems we’ve solved make us what we are, and to a large extent will direct us into what we are going to he. We, the senior class of ’48, bring down the curtain on our final act at Lansdowne High, and all applaud the fine performance of our outstanding leaders. We have learned the art of living well under the capable leadership of class president Bill Stewart, ably assisted by energetic Nancy Stickler, vice president; Caroline Hoopes. secretary; and Jim Stone, treasurer. To these successful officers, the senior class offers hearty thanks. Though our class will soon he separated, with each student going his or her way. we will never forget such memories as our two senior dances. Not only were they successful financially, but proved to be a great deal of fun. Long to be remembered as one of our outstand- F.fficient and cooperative Senior class officers: R. Stewart. C.

Every cast member will always look hack to “opening night and the putting over of a very successful play. To all of these students we, the class of 48. wish lots of luck in future dramatic roles. Students such as hard-working, hut fun-loving Eugenie Thomas, president of Hi-Y, and energetic Ruth Eddy, president of Honor Society, deserve our highest praise for their excellent work in these organizations. A roar of applause should he directed Bob Jones’ way for his fine editorship of the Garnet and Gray. Only those who work behind the scenes know how many extra hours of work is required. We will never forget our amiable, democratic president of Student Council and will remember his superb work as a school leader. The much awaited for two-day excursion to Wash- ington oriented many seniors to the uniqueness of the capital of the United States. Sitting in at a session of the Senate in troublesome times as today, hearing some of the key men in the country voice their opinions, made all of our draft-conscious seniors sit on the edge of their seats. Without a doubt, the exciting climax of the year proved to be our Senior Final, which will always be a treasured memory, no matter what our age, and will send a thrill to our hearts. The senior class will always applaud with enthusiasm the fine work of Miss Martha C. Hartman. Her many efforts in guidance led the “forty-eights” to a very prosperous year. Miss Hartman was not only an adviser to our class, but a true friend and pal to every one of its members. Her never-ceasing energy led us on through two eventful dances, both of which proved to be a “howling success.” Although not always in the limelight. Miss Hartman has been the “right-handman” of every’ class activity this year. So we all say, “Hats off to M iss Hartman, the favorite of ’48!” R. Obendorpher, E. Eccles, L. Jakob, H.

Epley, we realize that we are not superior to other races, creeds, or colors, but that we share the fundamental requisites of life. The hope of continuing our way of life lies in the youth whose minds must be equipp'd to think clearly. From these classes will come the future leaders who will truly have the ability to execute their responsibility. 51 Social Studies PRESIDENTIAL WORRIES Little Man Eyes Candidates Dear Premier Stalin. “One of the biggest questions in our minds concerns Russian youth. We should like to know their attitude toward a brotherhood of nations. Are they taught to want to improve conditions in their homeland and throughout the world?” World Affairs students were seriously hopeful when they signed their names to a letter which was sent to Premier Stalin. They know that the most stirring problem today is “Can we live together with Russia?” The cries of starving, cold, and homeless people rock the world in a desperate appeal for help. W hat shall our attitude be? In order to become better acquainted with the attempts at world peace, the World Affairs classes visited the United Nations Organization this fall. This trip helped them visualize the steps which our peacemakers are taking. Many of the problems and questions which are being discussed here have been carried back to the classroom for student opinions. They have investigated systems of governments throughout the world and considered the advantages and disadvantages of each. The American history classes, besides studying American history, have taken an active part in quite a few forum programs. Through these forum programs and debates the juniors are pacing the way to a happy and understandable future. Not only are our students of L. H. S. approaching the problems of today and tomorrow but are delving back into the past of history, comparing present experiences and mistakes w ith those of yester years. I).

They realize the important role that the Marshall Plan plays in helping the weaker nations of the world get back on their feet. They realize all this and much more, but the most important point, to L. H. S. students, is the wonderful freedom that the American people have and this freedom must be kept, no matter what at all times. 53 F. Thomas translates irgil to Latin III and IV class for S. Hahs. C.

We all realize that our understanding of people can be improved immensely through the study of languages, history, customs, and literature of different countries. Lansdowne High School is trying to promote an appreciation of our fellowmen by offering its students courses in English and three foreign languages: French, Spanish, and Latin. Along with the grammar of our respective countries we students seek the derivation of new words and endeavor to improve our powers of expression. Johnson once said. “Language is the dress of thought.” When we can express our thoughts accurately without apology or fear, we are better able to understand each other. In our French and Spanish courses we study the background and customs of the inhabitants, and also the products peculiar to certain areas. Our Latin enthusiasts enjoy learning about the old civilization of Rome and its influence on the younger 54 countries. In English we become more familiar with the background of our own country and that of Great Britain. Soon we are advanced enough to read the literature of our respective countries. The French students laugh over the antics of Monsieur Perrichon, and become enthralled by a heart-warming romance in “L’Abbe Constantin.” The Spanish classes read about a happily married couple who journey through Mexico and South America to find out how other people live. In English literature we read about the peoples of the world, their philosophies of life, their triumphs, and their problems. In Dickens ■'David Copper field” we see a young boy put out into the world on his own just as so many people are today. “Alice Adams” is a realistic novel which presents the problems of social life and social barriers. Many of our ideas of life are formulated by reading about people from different regions. B reading various other great works, we discover that other people are disturl ed by the same type of problems that we are. After we become acquainted with all sorts of people, we learn to become more tolerant and are better prepared to live together in peace and happiness. J. Trueman. . Johnson. Walton, Ritter, and K.

Publications NEWS CENSORSHIP Thwarts Ihe press, a powerful organization for the collection and distribution of news and the presentation of problems to the public, endeavors to educate and inform, stimulates people's thinking, helps to overcome corruption and to crusade for right. One of the main problems of the rising generation is that of boy-girl relationships. The staff of the 1948 Lahian. under the direction of Miss McCullough and Mr. Gershman. faculty advisers, and under the editorship of Barbara Van Sciver and Associate Pat Jenkins, is striving to promote mutual confidence. interest, and affection among young people and make them better able to face life together. Also helping the Lahian to achieve the goal are Barbara Mills, business manager; Martha See. talented art editor, and David Harkins and Robert Schafer, photographers. Four phases of life are brought out in the four sections of the book: home-life. earning a living, life’s problems, and relaxation. M.

School Beautiful. Ways and Means, and Social Service, is to promote better understanding and co-operation in Eans-downe High School. By helping others and by try -ing to improve the school the girls learn how to get along with people and can apply “the art of living well” to the aims of their organization. t nder the skilful direction of Miss Cook and w ith such capable officers as Eugenie Thomas, president: Nancy Thomsen, vice-president: Martha See. secretary; and Jane I Ish. treasurer, the organization has accomplished much in the way of service to the school. Hi-Y has played a major part in bringing about more friendly relations among the students. The girls have not only given a tea and a picnic for the underclassmen, but also each Inner Council member has taken it upon herself to see that newcomers are made welcome and learn their way around the school. The Hi-Y has also used a greater part of the money it made selling Christmas paj er to help buy a transcription player with a loud speaker attachment for the school, and the School Beautiful Committee is responsible for the attractive decorations seen throughout the school during the year.

Back Noble, HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society strives not only to attain a superlative degree of character, leadership, and scholarship among its members, but also conscientious service to the school. The Honor Society sets an excellent example, for within it are found students of capable leadership in all activities such as sports, class committees, music, art. debates, and numerous other fields of school life in which the stress is on group co-operation. Once a year the Honor Society invites members from all classes who have rendered service to the school to a bampiet or some other type of festivity. All the students look forward to this entertainment, because whereas membership in the Honor Society is restricted to a small percentage from the up) er classes, numerous students are invited to the entertainment. Guided by Ruth Eddy, president, and Miss Mildred Hoopes. adviser, the Honor Society also sponsored its annual Father and Son banquet, efficiently managed refreshment stands both at football games and wrestling meets, and rendered other sundry contributions. Throughout life the success of individual men and women depends greatly upon the quality of their character whic h the Honor Society encourages and promotes in the formative years. B. Stewart, J.

Worthwhile Projects STUDENT COUNCIL “School is life,” we have been told. Far be it for Lansdowne students to disagree. The old idea that high school students are too young to know what it's all about has long disappeared from Lansdowne. The right of the Student Council to argue “sore spots bears witness to that. Primarily because Miss Lindenmuth. the adviser. Jim LePard. the president, his fellow officers, the home room representatives, and the student body have so ably and enthusiastically worked together, this has been a constructive year for Student Council and the school as a whole. One of the outstanding achievements has been the installing and conducting of a milk har in the cafeteria, which Student Council has been trying to start for years. Another was the effective way in which a serious school problem was handled in a Student Assembly. Later in the year the responsibility of supervising the noon dancing in the gym was turned over to the Student Council. Then, one of the outside activities in which Lansdowne has willingly partic ipated has been the Student Council rallies in Delaware County, where there has always been a valuable exchange of ideas. From these1 experiences we have found that this not only promotes friendly relations between schools, but also brings us closer together. J. LePard presides over student council: E. Eccles. J. Fried.

Though the oldsters consider the younger generation a conglomeration of bobby-soxers. jitterbugs, and jazz fiends, we can honestl) say that the language of the great music masters is not lost on us. This year, under Mr. Corbin's talented and enthusiastic direction. Lansdowne's music- groups worked with each other and groups from other schools to bring the enjoyment of music to many listeners in both school and community. The A Cap|M lla Chorus started the season w ith an assembly program which was presented at Kidley lownship High School. Lansdowne students also enjoyed hearing this group sing at Thanksgiving.

The school hand, under the baton of Carol) n Fox. made a colorful picture as it led the crowd in songs at the football games. Lansdowne and Upper Darby High School orchestras combined to give a concert at each school, featuring the finer music. Joyce Zimmerman. our talented young violinist, played the solo “Adoration” at Upper Darby, accompanied by the orchestra under the baton of Mr. Corbin. Joyce was honored during the year by being invited to play with the state high school orchestra. The L.H.S. orchestra gained further recognition when, along with Joyce, Martha Powell, and David Haas were invited to pla) in the district orchestra at Lower Merion. The band came in for their share of laurels. John Glaser and Kay Featherer were elected to the district band which performed at Coatesville. Before roughly 1.500 people, a Broadway producer. director, and assorted theatre people, the music department staged their major effort of the year, the gay Kern-Hammerstein operetta. “Music-in the Air,” and scored a tremendous success. The L.H.S. production of the musical broke a precedent; up to April 24. 1948 “Music in the Air had never been attempted by any organization other than a professional company. Colorful and tuneful, the musical was a very pleasant testimony to the talent of both the high school’s student body and supervising faculty. 63 R. Eddy, II. Fern, and T.

Claire Warlow as Cornelia Skinner and Nancy Stickler as Emily Kimbrough enjoyed the companionship of Bob Jones and Bill Stewart who took the parts of Leo McEvoy and Dick Winters, respectively, in the delightful senior play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” ably directed by Mrs. V. Christ. The audience could not help laughing at the antics of Monsieur de la Croi capably played by Ray Obendorfer. nor will they ever forget Betty Jean Jones or Stanley Bolton as the mother and father. Eugenie Thomas as the petite French maid. Joyce Zimmerman as her mother. Art Hill as the tall and stately ship's captain, John Larson as the steward. Nancy Thomsen as the stewardess, and Jeanne Murray and Doris Worstall as Winifred and Harriet, the two English girls. The students not only gained experience behind the footlights, but also learned the necessity for cooperation among stage crew, prompters, and actors. In assembly programs, the junior-senior drama class produced a one-act comedy, entitled “Grandma Pulls the Strings,” and “Requiem in A.” a radio play on the life of Robert Schuman. later broadcast over the radio.

Football grid It was a season of ups and downs for the Lords who opened their schedule with Media and were tripped. 6-0. primarily by a strong aerial attack. This loss was followed by another 6-0 defeat at the hands of Darby. In the second night game of the season the Lords put across a late tally on a Gallagher to Hunt combination. but this wasn’t enough to beat Ridley Park, who finished the season undefeated.

With the first taste of victory under their belts the Garnet and Gray grid-ders the Lords trounced highly touted Sharon Hill. 25-13. in one of the most spirited games of the season.

In the Turkey Day Classic the Lords tangled with a mighty Swarthmore eleven that overwhelmed the local hoys, 26-0. Swarthmore completed its season undefeated and untied. This tilt was the final game for seniors: Chase Hunt. Boh Dickson. John Claser. Paul Von Zech. Jim Stone. Art Pusey, A1 Coffin. Dave Rowlands, Jim Shelton. Dave Holds-worth. Jim LePard and Herb Powell. 1947 produced two players worthy of the William Steer Award, as judged by the coaching staff. The two selected were Chase Hunt and Paul Von Zech. Boh Dickson was presented with Given Trophy for consistent play and all around hard work. In the junior circuit Mr. Black's JV proteges finished the season undefeated with a 7 and none record. During the season only two opponents managed to push across scores against the fine working Lansdownc eleven. Only once during the entire year were the Little Lords behind on the score sheet. In the final game Swarthmore was leading 6-0 when Lansdowne came to life and pushed across the winning score. Coach Dale Smith's freshmen aggregation completed their sc hedule with 3 w ins. 1 defeat and 1 tie. Morgan (20) stops a Haverford back during critical part of the game.

The outstanding speedster of last ear. versatile Jim LePard. returns this year to lead the way in the middle distances. Fleet-footed Boh Gallagher, now a sophomore, will be running the hundred and helping Arthur Hill and Bill Allen rack up points at the high jump pit. Husky Tom Heaney will be filling his brother Jim’s shoes in churning around the mile. Jim Heaney, captain last year, looked good running his distance and Tom promises to do as well.

Cling to League Runner-Up Spot Coach Lloyd Black started with a principally inexperienced squad, and by the end of the season his hustling grapplers had placed second in suburban ranks. The story of their success lies in the “do or die spirit of such mat men as Russ Harlan. Russ, after being on the sidelines for a month, entered district competition cold and left with the 127-pound title in his pocket. L.H.S. was out for victories. Paul Troiano also copped a district title, then, along with Russ, went up to State where he hung on until the finals. His defeat was a close decision. Next year Paul, along with Werner Seal, will captain the squad. WRESTLING—1948 VARSITY SCORES J. V. SCORES L.H.S. Opp. L.H.S.

Last spring the local moundmen hatted in only four triumphs while taking seven setbacks. The Lords started the season with a 10-0 shellacking of Chester, hut after that they slowly wilted into a losing hall club. Coach Dale Smith reports, however. that the prospects for the 4 season are bright despite the loss of nine varsity lettermen. Coach Smith also implies that he has enough underclassmen to fill the vacant posts. Holdovers from last year’s infield are George McCarthy. John Morgan, and Captain Bill Munch, pitcher Ed Fellmeth. and outfielder Don Brainerd. Others from the 1947 aggregation who won JV awards are Doug Brown. Boh Dickson. Boh Fretz. Ray Hoopes. Tony Santoro, Bill Sharpless. Jack Shickram. and Johnny Westenherger. The lettermen lost through graduation are: Bill and Joe McClaren, Boh Wright. Boh Gortner. George Ernest. Neil See, Bill Helms.

Try Again for Championship In copping seven out of ten matches played in 1947, the team wound up the season in a tie for second place while this year's netmen plan to climb the ladder to regain the suburban championship. The reason for this optimism is that only one man. Bill Valentine, was lost through graduation. Coach Lawrence Richards is counting heavily on last year's cup winners and the 1948 co-captains Bill Forrey and Dick Jordan and lettermen John Matthews. Dave Rowlands, and Lynn DeVault to sweep the squad to the championship. Lansdowne hopes to be at the top of the league this year. The racketeers will be out to avenge last year's defeat and to replace Lower Merion as the league leaders. 1947 TENNIS SCORES Opp. L.H.S.

Barbara “Bo” Brecht topped the list of high scorers w ith six points and pla ed a leading position on the line along with Jean Powers to whom the Bergner Cup was awarded for outstanding playing and main support to the team.
