It’hat's the matter with you, Don't you hare any senseY You can't do that, you knoic it. So don't even try, It's beyond your skill You'll taste defeat and knoic it. If you aim too hiyh You're due for a fall And it may be a painful one. Hut you'll learn your lesson eventually Before any real harm's done. Defeat is bitter, so they say. Often more bitter than (fall. So take some advice and save yourself pain. Come on, yet on the ball! Five LET’S COME You're a dreamer—you won't go very !ar Unless you come out of the clouds. Act, or your dreams will stay just dreams, And you'll he just one of the croud. There's distinction in being a dreamer, But not the respected kind; For a dreamer is scorned and laughed at And often called deaf, dumb, and blind. It's the doer who gets recognition He has his feet on the ground. He's the guy who's realistic Whenever there's problems around. Let's go! Let's see some action. Come down from your lofty height. Wake up there, you dreamer. Show a little fight! LIFE ITSELF Come now don’t be cynical Life’s not really that bad. Give yourself a pat on the bach And please don’t look so sad. Everyone’s not against you; You’ve had a bad break, that’s true, But make the most of what you have And start life out anew. If you get stuck in a bad spot Don’t fall down—stand. For there’s always someone waiting To lend a helping hand. If you’re not as smart as your best pal, Joe, Xor as good an athlete as Clem, So what? There’s something you can do Better than either of them. All you must do is find it. That’s not such a difficult task. You’re not the only one trying Find out from some others—just ask. IN THIS FULL LAND OF OURS Pages of history hooks are more than revelations of the past; they can be guidcposts for the years to come. Lansdowne freshmen are orientated in the traditions and foundations of the first types of society. They learn to recognize both the strength and weaknesses in various early forms of government. The incompetency and impracticality of idealistic states soon points out a need for workable mode of social organization. Paralleled with this is a study of the government of our own state, how it came to be, and our rights and duties as citizens of Pennsylvania. Covering the gap between a study of the ancients and the world of today, the sophomores acquaint themselves with Modern European History, as a more complex civilization moved ever westward. The study of the growth of nations and peoples, brings out again and again the exploitation of the “little man” bv the power of a few. Hut here in America the “little man” became important. Juniors trace the expansion of our nation as it grew from thirteen rebel colonies into a symbol of freedom for the oppressed peoples of the world. They see the mistakes that Mere made, the diplomatic blunders, but they also begin to realize the true value of the principles on M'hich our constitution is founded. As our liberty has groMn out of the bondage of our fathers, world affairs students devote their time to the study of today’s problems, with the hope that they may help in the amelioration of the Morld’s condition tomorrow. Twelve C. Young, I). Wagner, E. Van-Dyke, X. Anderson, and H. Blake spearhead a class discussion in American History. B. Magens, X. Worstall, E. Leavitt, and K. Hill scan a relief map of the thirteen original colonies. Modern History holds a special interest for B. Magens, E. Leavitt, H. Hull and H. Hill. K. Terrell and B. Chandler ponder the mysteries of the ancient history “magic wheel.” M. Beebe, D. See, D. Purdy, and J. Stevens, are placing I msdownc on a Pennsylvania map. PUBLI HYSTERIA Blinds Big chiefs of the Lahian, J. Huhbert, 1 . Jenkins, L. Gershtnan assemble snapshots for use in the I ahian. The Lahian and Garnet Sc Gray serve as a means for the students and faculty to read about school happenings in the same light. This year the G Sc G was minus an editor-in-chief when the staff assembled to write the first issue. A new system was to be tried out, that of having an editor for each page. In January, editorial orchids went to Janie Fried, but the idea of page editors continued. True to its former record, the paper is again headed for national honors. CATIONS riters, Readers as to the Real Political Issues Publication staff's have been kept busy, for besides putting out the paper once a month and working on the yearbook, they found time to sponsor the “Harvest Moon Dance ' sell programs at the Thanksgiving Day football game, and produce two student assemblies. Under the leadership of editor Pat Jenkins, the LAHIAN ran on greased wheels. A new system of organization was inaugurated in order that the students themselves might have more part in the making of their yearbook. The seniors wrote, counted, and cheeked copy, with Miss McCullough's counsel. Mr. Gershman, adviser, claims that Joie Hubbert is one of the most efficient business managers with whom he has ever worked. Now the SCRIBBLER’S IN K staff, after working with Miss Hartman on the literary magazine, joins all the others in reminiscing about long hours and harassing deadlines. “Gee, it was fun!’ Top Left: J.

L A N Q NAME CALLING Veils the To build a peaceful and tolerant world is to understand the peoples of that world, their customs, thoughts, ideas. Our language department feels that the best way to do this is to break down barriers of speech and communicate with them. The sooner the peoples of the world learn to reach out across their borders, the sooner international peace will be achieved. This is the main purpose behind our study of a foreign language. The French and Spanish classes are doing a “Jacques lx Mendiant” tips his hat after receiving money from J. Bell, M. Cook, W. Atkinson. Admiring Spanish costumes are M. Watkins, B. Williams, and R. Patterson. M iss Cook checks up on M. Hendrickson's homework assignment in Cicero. M. Wagner unfolds the tale of Joan of Arc to her French class. R. Green is the center of attention in English 11 while reading his composition. T. Meaney, R. Dye, and D. Coyle generate weird sound effects for their radio soap opera. R. Gamber plays teacher in his English I class. L. Benson, R. Taylor, and W. Dye inspect a model of the Elizabethan Theater. J. Hubbert, D. Uws, and S. Kirifides brew a witches’ potion in their study of “Macbeth.” Students find books for both relaxation and research in the library. 17 A Q E S Real ness” of Good Honest Folks great deal to promote international correspondence between Lansdowne students and the letter-hungry |M ople of South America, Spain, and France. Getting to know folks personally is of infinitely more value than reading about them.

English classes have explored all types of literature and peoples. In a scope ranging from the Russian novel to the lighter folk tales, we Jiave had presented to us samples of every nation’s great literature. If education is accomplished by combined cooperation, is it not then reasonable to believe that if people unite their efforts and pull together, great steps can be made on a world scale? Or. K. Carlton Abbott ADMINISTRATION MEN OK ACTION Translate Talk into Reality The citizens of Lansdowne arc very fortunate in having the administration of their school system in the capable hands of I)r. E. Carlton Abbott, who is completing the second year of his administration. During this time he has made a number of improvements in the operation of the school system and has been extremely active in the work of the Allied Youth Council. Dr. Abbott has been one of the prime movers in getting the War Memorial project under way and has completed a preschool survey to determine the exact needs of the school system in the future. Our genial principal, Mr. Joseph D. Moore, is also finishing the second year in our school system. It was Mr. Moore who first conceived the idea of the Youth Rally, and since its inception these rallies have been enthusiastically received. One of the factors that has contributed greatly to the successful running of the school is his willingness to listen to students’ problems and to help them find a solution. Continue this “open door” policy. Mr. Moore. We like it! In the capacity of assistant principal. Miss Mary E. Lindenmuth has been of tremendous help and Mr. Joseph I). Moore Miss Mary K. I.indcnmutb Eighteen Miss Nad a (tdleticli Mrs. Margaret Chaffee Miss Jennifer Maryanski has also done a splendid job as Dean of Girls. As faculty adviser, she has guided the officers of the Student Council for the betterment of the school. The wheels of the Superintendent’s and high school offices are kept running smoothly by the pleasant and efficient secretaries. Mrs. Margaret Chaffee, secretary of the School Hoard, is ahlv assisted by Jenny Maryanski, graduate of the class of ’ 8, in Dr. Abbott's office. In the high school office. Miss Nada Gclletich takes care of the many problems which arise and is relieved at the noon hour by Ruth Thompson, a senior from the commercial department. Cooperation does not end with students, faculty. and administration. The School Board has held meeting after meeting for the purpose of promoting a loan for a new school building. The plans also include a new south wing on the second floor of the high school, which will enable us to have smaller classes and sunnier rooms, and will complete the original plans for a symmetrical building. Also on the agenda is the construction of a stadium which is Lansdowne’s memorial to honor the dead and serve the living. Under the leadership of the borough’s prominent citizens, the board is striving toward its goal for the improvement of education and the happiness of our community’s youth.

McCullough Virginia L Christ Bertha Czaplicki Margaret Cook A. Todd Coronway Howard L. Freeman Esther Morris In our four years together in high school, we are aided greatly on the road toward mutual understanding by our faculty. We take our first step toward understanding each other in mastering our most important language, English. Mr. Gershman and Mr. Laubach initiate the freshmen in this basic course by reviewing the fundamentals of grammar and by introducing them to the greatest master of our native tongue, William Shakespeare. Miss Hartman takes charge of them as sophomores and acquaints her class with Caesar and Lcs Misernbles.” The juniors, instructed by Mrs. ULTY Familiarize Us with the Best in I iiinking Braughler and Mrs. Christ, delve deep into our national heritage in the study of American literature. Miss McCullough polishes off the seniors with a liberal dose of foreign novels, poetry, and MACBETH. Those of us who are preparing for eollege study one of the romance languages: Latin. French, or Spanish. Miss Cook transports us from Caesar to Cicero in the tongue of Old Home, and divides Gaul into three parts once again for our benefit. Miss IIoopes prepares us for excursions abroad in the language of gay Paris. Miss Czaplicki instructs us in the colorful language of our friends across the southern border in Latin America. In the language classes, we journey vicariously throughout the world, and realize our kinship with our neighbors far and near. Those freshmen who are mathematically inclined are instructed in the rudiments of algebra by Mr. Coronwav. The logic of Mrs. Morris’ plane geometry classes clears up the mystery of angles and triangles for the puzzled sophomores. Mr. Freeman leads the more ambitious of the upper classmen through the complicated maze of advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. In science classes, we acquire a new' insight into the involved mechanics of the world we shall build together. Under the guiding hand of Mr. Kleekner, we learn the basis of the various branches of the sciences and prepare for more complicated studies. In biology. Mr. Epley helps us explore the mysteries of living things. A trip to a physics or chemistry class will find us generating weird sounds ami concoctions under the guiding eye of Mr. McClure. In history classes we discover our common heritage. probing the chain of events in the complex story of mankind. Beginning in ancient Mesopotamia. Mr. Jones takes us through the glory of Greece to the fall of the Homan empire. With Mr. Snyder, we study the origin and development of modern Europe. Then Mr. Drake instructs us in the early traditions and the great frontiers of our native land. Mr. Hichards and the seniors study the ebb and flow of our present world and learn to interpret the events of our day. In our research work and reports, we consult our willing and helpful librarian.

Mr. Kraber trains the efficient stenographers of the future in typing and shorthand. Mrs. Feller helps them to master the machines in office training and turns out capable computers in commercial mathematics. Further experience is attained during actual on-the-job contact in Miss Ankeny’s distributive education department. Amateur newshounds pound the heat for GARNET AND GRAY, type feature stories, and check proof for Mr. Gershman’s approval, while publications staff workers plot layouts for LAHIAN in room fifty-eight. The artistically inclined among us create minor masterpieces under Miss Davis’ direction. Tomorrow’s Bergmans with Mrs. Christ s coaching, produce many fine programs and assemblies. while behind the scenes Mr. I.aubach's stage crew keeps everything going smoothly. Our many fine choruses, our hand, and our orchestra, all conducted by Mr. Corbin, afford both our school and our community many hours of fine musical entertainment. In the home economics field, aspiring housewives learn to manage their future homes. Inspired by Mrs. Stephens’ clever, modern suggestions, the sewing students stitch together dresses, coats, and suits of bright cloth in the latest styles. Miss Stevens, in charge of culinary arts, teaches her cooks the way to a man’s heart. The boys in the industrial arts department practice manual skills under the supervision of Mr. Mershock and Mr. Aderhold. Our physical education instructors, Mr. Black and Miss Shoemaker, teach us teamwork and fair play, while Mr. Rad-cliffc and Mrs. Evans, our dental hygienist, give us the necessary foundation for a healthy life.

Girls’ Hi-Y I lonor Society Do you know a signpost when you see one? Like a smiling face or a hough of greenery? The pointers on the road through school are the task of Hi-Y girls who excel in everything from collecting toys to pouring tea. If there’s a job to be done, they’re ready and willing to pitch in enthusiastically. Joie Hubbert presided over the organization this year with the assistance of officers Ann Ulsh, Marg Miller, and Joan Godshalk. Miss Cook continued in her capacity as adviser, leading the Hi-Y through service projects for school and community. Beginning the year with a reception for freshmen and newcomers, they continued with a clean-up campaign around the building. Over a thousand toys were collected in a pre-Christmas drive for poor children of the Hope Day Nursery in Philadelphia. Ample opportunities for managing school affairs give the girls poise, and promote leadership. Self-confidence grows with experience; Hi-Y activities provide a chance for the girls to put their best foot forward. The three committees cover every branch of school life and help to keep the machinery rolling. The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was founded for the recognition of those pupils in the schools of the United States who have proved themselves to be outstanding in the fields of leadership, scholarship, character and service. The Lansdowne Chapter, founded eighteen years ago, is sponsored by Miss Mildred Hoopes. Each year from the leaders of the junior and senior classes the society selects the students who have earned this distinction. The nine members from the senior class who were chosen in the spring of their junior year are: Willard Dye. president of the Honor Society; Ann Ulsh, the vice-president; Robert Seeley, who manages the treasury; Peggy Gordon, the secretary; Mary Conway Hendrickson; Pat Jenkins; Leonard Fina; Pat Gauntt; and Mimi Hart. The cream of the graduating class and the most promising of juniors were inducted during a most impressive honors assembly in March. The members of the junior class who were elected last spring will carry on the work of the society after the seniors have graduated and will maintain its high standards and proud traditions. Twenty-four Community Problems J Student Council Look around at your milk bar, school store, athletic ticket, and even the new pencil sharpener in '37; these are only a few of the achievements of your Student Council this year. You make improvements possible. The representatives you elect do their best to comply with your requests. Under Dick Jordan's capable leadership and that of Miss Lindenmuth. adviser, homeroom representatives have proved that working together and cooperating with faculty, administration, and school hoard can overcome any obstacles which hinder our educational development. Pat Gauntt, vice-president, has helped Dick in leading and planning the meetings. Darlene Dunkle, recording secretary, and Joan Lang, corresponding secretary, have kept minutes and correspondence up to date. The responsibility of the school store fell to Werner Seel, conscientious and hard working treasurer. It was agreed that the student assembly, sponsored by the council was one of the year’s most enjoyable. Under splendid leadership, the Student Council has discussed and settled all constructive problems which have been brought to them, and has found that none is too insignificant to undertake. W.

FOOTBALL gridiron GREATS Boast jinpressive Lansdownk fans didn't have to trudge to Frank-1 i n Field or travel to the Rose Bowl for hair-raising, exciting football. Coach Jones' gridiron greats produced many a thrill as they piled up six triumphs, a 7-7 tie with Ridley Park to break their 17- game winning streak, and two setbacks. Under the leadership of co-captains Tom Heaney, Maxwell Award winner, and Werner Seel, the comparatively green squad started the season with plenty of spirit. Lettermen Don Hrainerd, John Morgan. Dick Jordan, and Tom Heaney were used by head mentor Jones as a nucleus for the aggregation. Players from last year’s undefeated junior varsity squad filled vacant berths left by graduation. In the opening tilts of the 1948 campaign, the Jonesmen downed Media. 13-7. and Darby, 18- 7, in that order. In the third encounter, the underdog Lords battled Ridley Park to a 7-7 tie, and the following week happily handed Upper Darby a 6-0 setback to keep the local slate clear of defeats. Then misfortune struck the Lords, and Springfield won bv a hair. 7-6. for Lansdowne's first loss. Showing great strength, the Jonesmen came back with a 27-6 trouncing of Sharon Hill. It.

Coach Black's eleven struck rough weather and triumphed only over Upper Darhv by a 13-0 count. Although the squad didn’t hit the win column consistently, the team had some promising varsity material. Mainstays of the team were Joe Squillace, Ray Hoopes, JV cup winner, and Jim Megce. Opponent L.H.S.

Eight varsity men will return next year to give Coach Radcliffe their valuable experience, the (juality lie lacked this year. Ed Pusey led his team in scoring 221 points, and also made a new school record by totaling 37 points against Upper Darby. The previous record was made by Jack Powers in 1941 when he scored 28 points against Collingdale. A1 Savage was second in chalking up 197 to his credit. Our record for this year was not so impressive as last year’s, but our fighting Lords of ’49 gave the people of Lansdownc lots of thrills.

WRESTLINQ MUSCLE MEN Hail Champion Werner Seel Under the expert piloting of Coach Lloyd Hlack, and spurred on by the spirit of their talented co-captains, Werner Seel and Paul Troiano, the mighty mat artists Hattcned five out of seven league foes. In addition to this glittering record, the Lords cinched second place in the district championships, second only to mighty Upper Darby. Of the five finalists, only one survived. Werner Seel, powerful heavyweight, who had to oust Abington’s defending king. Weber, gained the throne. On the basis of his brilliant performance, Seel was voted the most outstanding grappler of the meet. Three weeks later. Werner added a new chapter to LHS wrestling annals when he copped the state title to become the first rnat-man to wear a PIAA crown in the history of the school. He then added to his growing list of victories by annexing the Middle Atlantic 191-pound diadem the following week. Although overshadowed by Werner’s incredible feats, lettermen Hob Kelley, Sande Walton, Jim Lynch. Walt Hough. Doug Brown. Tom Heaney, and newcomers Frank Alden, Dan Candiles, Jerry Powell, Andy Swingle, and Hill Guy, were vital cogs in the Lansdownc wrestling machine. P.

Throughout the year, the cheerleaders, led by vivacious Captain Darlene Dunkle. sparked the crowds with enthusiasm and led the fans through tense moments in our sports events. The hockey squad, coached by Miss Shoemaker, former I.ansdowne star, battled scrappy opposition, encountering intense competition on all sides. The Lassies nosed out Collingdale in their first game with a 5-0 victory, setting off a season of thrills. Pat Gauntt, center halfback and captain of the ATHLETICS Knergv Into High Speed Sports Program team, was awarded the coveted Bergner trophy for outstanding playing and skill. The Jay Vee, spurred on by the tricky offense of rival schools, displayed the principles of good hockey technique, and has produced quite a few Varsity prospects for next year. Roaring in high gear, the Lady Lords bounced back again in the basketaball season, sporting a swift brand of ball. Dot Miller tallied the greatest number of points, while the Sheltons held onlook- ers spellbound with their su|K rb passing technique. Joan Godshalk, captain and sparkplug, led her teammates in fast and fancy ball. Spring found the diamond being worn down as the girls raced around the bases. And with several letterwomen returning to form the backbone of the tennis team, net and racquet fans were confident of breathtaking tournaments. Win or lose, in any field of sport, we could always boast of our stars, “(treat game!” Sparkplug J. Godshalk goes in after the hall! The class waits tensely as K. Ough takes aim for a foul shot. J.

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief . .. So the old rhyme goes. What is going to happen to us? Nobody really knows. What is our fate—a terrible one? An atomic death decree? Or will it be of the peaceful sort The way life out to be? Out of this building venture forth Citizens of the world To make or break their fortunes Beneath their flag unfurled. Some will, of course, become soldiers; Others, nurses, and then There are those who will be Just nothing at all. Loafers, and idle men. Some will be mothers and fathers; Some will have careers. And there'll be the %'aliant little group That call themselves pioneers. And so the burning question is To wonder and ponder o'er “What is going to become of us, “Cannon fodder or-?

GLAMOUR PREFERRED. All members of the cast displayed surprising talent in their dramatic roles. We “Fortv-niners” traveled to the nation's capital for an over night class trip of sight-seeing and gaiety. We explored Congress, the Lincoln Memorial. the Washington Monument, and other national shrines which symbolize our interest in this moving America. Revealing themselves distinguished in the field of leadership were Dick Jordan, President of Student Council, and Willard Dye, President of Honor Society. These boys have been outstanding as the heads of the school's two top organizations. A roar of applause is directed Janie Fried’s way for the remarkable work she performed on the GARNET GRAY as editor in chief. Joie Hubbert rates orchids for her capable leadership of the Hi-Y. Heaps of honors go to Mary Hendrickson, who, by a majority vote of her classmates, was selected “Good Citizen.” She should also be commended for her fine scholastic record anti art work.

As wc let the years of our high school pass in review, we are able to see how they have enriched our lives. We have formed lasting friendships. We have learned of common bonds and qualities by which we are all united. Respect for our fcllowman and his beliefs have been part of our instruction. We have learned how to understand problems of today by analyzing those of the past. We have accepted responsibility as it has come to us. Now wc are graduates. The art of thinking is stressed, thinking for ourselves and profiting by it. After commencement with knowledge gained, will we be able to cope with life’s problems? Will we be leaders in building or victims of destruction? Will the talents we worked so many years to develop be wasted in war? Will they prosper in the fields of peace?

SOPHOMORES Wonder Whether Atlantic Pact W The class of 51 entered the school year with vim and vigor. Led by their energetic officers, Jack Jenkins, president; Nancy Noll, vice-president; Jim Megec, treasurer; and Janet Long, secretary; the class has proved to be actively interested in school activities. When it came time for the annual hop, the sophomores all worked together and put on a colossal Gay Nineties Party. Needless to say, it was a huge success! Inspired by Miss ( ook, adviser, the class has come up with a wealth of resourceful schemes. When money was needed for a project, thev looked the problem square in the face and II Prevent War decided to put on a cake sale, so out came the pots and pans. The result? The sophomores were the first to contribute their share to the War Memorial Fund. The well-to-do class has a substantial treasury to boast about and has given money for charitable purposes on several occasions. Girls sold candy at basketball games and showed their willingness to coojK rate in community affairs by ushering at the lecture scries. The class, by its conscientious application and active participation in school life, is fulfilling its early promise to promote good citizenship and democracy in Lansdowne High School.

FRESHMEN Place Faith in Elders to Keep Them Free and Safe Ninth oradkhs? Junior High? Freshmen? High School? This l ewildering maze into which the freshmen were tossed did not succeed in checking their enthusiasm. The first class to be affected by the new 3-3 set-up settled down to a new routine under the direction of its adviser. Mr. Kleckncr. and energetic officers President Peter Crawford, Vice-President Mary Lou Higonv. Secretary Gladys Strobel, and Treasurer Donald Scuibba. These leaders are to be commended for their conscientious work in the interest of their classmates. Many students took part in the production of FUN AND FROLIC, followed by more fun in the form of a Hallowe’en party in the gym. The freshmen surprised the upperclassmen with their overwhelming response to the athletic program and their participation in selling G G subscriptions, tickets for the senior play, collection of Christmas toys, and in the United Charities Drive. The Freshmen-Parent Night and the junior high party were factors in helping to overcome that “little-freshman” feeling and in rounding out the personalities of beginners in learning the art of living well . . . the art which may determine, to a large extent, the future of prospective world citizens.

There’s plenty for all— Let’s have no extremes Or you may get thrown on your ear. The ordinary things in life Are the wholesome things, that’s clear. And it’s the ordinary people That make this world so dear. Don’t eat so much, don’t drive so fast, Don’t play such a vigorous game. Or you may wind up in an accident ward Or be hobbling about on a cane. You k now very well that the simple things Are closest to your heart— A walk in the rain, a beautiful rose, A smell of a fresh apple tart. A moonlit night, a quiet brook, A homecooked dinner, a really good book, A trip to the woods to hunt and fish. An old-fashioned clambake, a wishbone wish . .. Those simple pleasures would fill a book. And if you’ll abandon excess You’ll find that where moderation is Most likely you’ll find success. ■it ENOUQH IS ENOUGH COMMERCIAL DEPRESSION COMPLEX Shakes the Business World with The Commercial Department, under the direction of Mr. Kraber, and with the help of Mrs. Felter and Mr. Smith, is working hard to adapt its students to the business world. Not only are these guys and gals taught all types of office work and how to manipulate office machines, hut they are also taught speed and accuracy. Outstanding work is reported from the 1949 class. Four seniors were selected to take the National Clerical Ability Tests. Also Ruth Thompson has been doing an excellent job as assistant to Mr. Moore’s secretary. The Distributive Education department hits a happy medium giving its students business experience as well as book work. Miss Ankeny presents to the students the fundamentals of such fields as advertising and merchandising during the morning classes, along with English, mathematics, and economics. Learning about various products they will be good consumers as well as good sales people. Trips to the Stetson Hat Company, the Lansdowne National Bank, nearby stores, and tin- Philadelphia Institute of Textiles, not only provided interesting information, but also a grand time. Part time jobs take the place of afternoon classes. In this wav students gain worthwhile experience as Seven ty-tico Commercial students prepare themselves for future office jobs by practice, practice, and still more practice. It. Thompson, ( . Bruni, A. Xipperlein, C. Irrgang. J. Cullen, D. Porter, L. Morgan, G. Wolff, I). leaves, J. Hen-ofer, L. Benson, J. Cox acquire speed and accuracy in typing class. Service with a smile’ Is perky redheaded N Seiwell's slogan. “That will be one dollar, sir!” grins soda-jerk N. Bridwell. A puzzling problem stumps both J. Cox and her trusty computing machine. One can easily see that there are advantages in having a candy store in the classroom! Helpful S. Alden runs off the morning bulletin. T. Kgan has become a happy produce man. Billy Campbell cuts a fancy figure with his meat cleaver. “Fill Vr up. Bud!” is the request with which B. Culbertson willingly complies. Nothing lazy about this distributive education class! B. Culbertson, J. Scott, K. Chumhlin. G. Lingo, T. Kgan. N. Seiwell pore over business magazines. Unemployment Jitters well as salaries amounting to as much as $151.00 a month. Some interesting projects displayed by the forty-niners are Personality Manuals. Mer-candise Information Manuals, bulletin board displays. show cases, and model stores sealed to the size of a writing desk. This last project has given the student a chance to show a great deal of ingenuity. The finished products are cleverly worked out to the minutest details, including such fine points as juke-boxes, plastic covered stools, and sod i fountains. One can easily see what a magnificent work this department is doing in combining the practical business world with the world of books. Seventy-three MECHANICS Wm. Schmucker and A. Votta touch up their “masterpieces’ in the wood shop. That industrious look! B. Porter, J. Nall, P. Simionc, and B. Fried are hard at work on wood shop projects. LABOR Fights for Increased Welfare, Pensions The Industrial Arts Department of Lans-downe High School offers boundless opportunities to develop the student’s creative abilities and broaden his intellect. A student may be trained directly for a vocational job immediately following graduation. This department also has a more far-reaching effect in that it lays the foundation for an engineering profession. In the wood shop, Mr. Aderhold teaches the fundamentals of carpentry. He guides the younger boys in the proper use and eare of the tools. This establishes good work habits right from the beginning. In his junior or senior year, the student learns to use the modern machine tools that are in the shop. While learning to work with his hands, the student also provides many useful articles of furniture for the home. The work ranges from simple book ends made by eighth graders to elaborate cedar chests constructed bv experienced seniors. This training may cither lead to jobs in the woodworking or carpentry field, or one may gain many hours of pleasure by putting his skills to use as a hobby. One of the most important courses which offers employment upon graduation as well as a background for engineering is mechanical drawing. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Hershock, eighth graders are taught the fundamentals of drafting. They learn the use and care of mechanical drawing instruments and draw elementary geometric designs. From these fundamentals, one enters fields such as sheet metal dclevopment, intersections, and isometric projection. This serves as a background for the drawing of elementary machine designs. Training of this type leads directly to drafting jobs, which are the backbone of industry. On the side, the course offers opportunities in blue print making which is aided by the facilities of our well-equipped blue printing room. As a junior, the student studies architectural drawing and design as a part of this well-rounded course. To finish this elementary training, the senior studies aeronautical drafting and design. From the study of these varied fields of mechanical drawing, the student is able to secure desirable jobs in the drafting rooms of industry. The college student uses this training to excellent advantage in his engineering studies. Furthering a balanced education, the junior or senior has the opportunity to undertake the study of surveying. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Hershock. the inquisitive student solves the many complex problems of this interesting subject. The Seventy-four student's appreciation of the value of surveying is aided by a brief study of its history and many important uses. After learning the use of tapes and other fundamental tools, the student does elementary survey work by the use of the plane tool. Most of this work is done on school property and surrounding areas. With the coming of bad weather, most of the time is devoted to the drawing of maps from data derived in the field. The student is then introduced to the universal instrument of surveying; the transit. After learning of its use, more extensive field surveys are made out of doors in the spring. On many an afternoon, boys are seen making route surveys of the borough s avenues and land surveys of the surrounding school property. This interesting work leads to many good jobs in surveying crews as well as preparing a boy for the study of civil engineering. M. ltittcnhouse makes an accurate drawing in his mechanical drawing class. Win. Sclunuckcr stains his project while A. Votta works on his masterpiece.

Besides playing football favorites, the band gave a joint concert with the Upper Darby High School band, while its sound musicianship placed three members in the district band. Bob Seeley and Jocelyn Jones added to our competitive laurels bv making state orchestra. Orchestral selections preceded the senior play, and pleasant assembly preludes were presented. The A Uappclla Chorus, the largest in the school's history with 1—0 members, by closely scheduling its activities, exhibited a wealth of tuneful talent at three churches, the Twentieth Century Club, hospitals, and at holiday assemblies. Although the entire music department went all out in its pursuits, the ultimate goals of individual development and relaxation were thoroughly stressed, thus producing a well rounded musical life for the individual and for the school as a whole.

DRAMA DAY’S TENSIONS Find Outlet In Neighborhood Play Groups Curtain! That cry has always thrilled stage-struck teen-agers. We all may not aspire to Garbos or Grahles. hut everyone loves to dress up and pretend to be something he isn’t. This year there have been many opportunities for the junior thcs-pians to tread the boards. Several student- written and dirceted studies have been performed to the delight of the audience, and the drama class produced a confused piece called CROWDED PARADISE. The event of the year was, of course, the senior play, GLAMOUR PREFERRED. In a glamorous Hollywood setting, our senior classmates were suddenly transformed into dashing sophisticates, involved in the problems of the Him world. Since the play was such a success, the speech department selected SUGAR AND SPICE by the same authors for their second attempt. Dramatics play an important part in our school life. Shyness and overconfidence merge into one, for there is no place for either in the glare of tin-spotlight. It promotes closer friendships through the shared experience of both first night jitters and congratulations. Most important of all, everyone has a chance to belong, from the stage crew to Juliet. Anyone who has ever taken part in a play-will affirm that all the anxiety and time spent on it is more than justified by the sense of aecomplish-ment and satisfaction every- member of the cast feels when the job is completed. Len Fina presents Mrs. Christ with « basket of flowers on behalf of a very grateful cast. “Not that again!'1 J. Sweeney flncl T. Kopf’s music rather hard to take.
