It's no fun to wander listlessly through school, never feeling ambitious enough to participate in anyf thing, and never taking the trouble to hnd out what's wrong. But, that need never happen to a Lansdowne student, for our school provides complete physical examinations every two years for every student. Besides this, there are dental checkups, audiofmetric tests, and visual tests. Everything possible is done to keep students informed of their physical health. Gym classes provide a good way to develop those underdeveloped muscles and build physical cofordinaf tion. Students learn to cofoperate on the gym teams, or to train their individual skills in tennis or tumbling. Even though everyone isn't an athletic star, everyone has a chance to develop physical strength and vigor through gym courses. . C.

They're accused of being criminals, of using narcotics, of drinking and smoking excessively, and of being hotfrodders who are not capable of handling an autof mobile correctly or safely. Criticism comes from all sides, but we're really not so bad and We are learning all the time. Most of us are not those teenagers that magazine articles and newspaper headlines are written about. It just takes time to learn responsibility for, after all, it is not an inborn trait. We take part in the student council which helps the student body to learn government and through which the students take the rule of the school partially into their own hands. It is the team managers who take care of the valuable equipment and add to the morale of the team while scoring or timing a game. Each assembly is conducted by students and rarely does a faculty member step onto the stage except to take part in the program. Many of the productions for public presenf tations are planned, written, and directed by students, too. The student court, established by the student council at the request of the student body, has even taken upon itself the punishment of those who act against the rules of school society. Yes, each of our school activities is helping us to improve and to gain skill in taking responsibility now and later on. 6 i 1 l W. Krause, C. Faix, K. Johansson, and A, Hagopian take ttme out S.

When I was a boy, says grandfather, we used to hunt squirrels and rabbits. Today's teenage boy may not be able to pop off a few squirrels, but he can join the Rifle Club and shoot at standard targets. For the writer there are the press groups, while history enthusiasts can trace back into the past with coins. Those seeking to express themselves can join dramatic classes. Grandfather would say that young folks these days haven't the chance for healthf ful exercise that he did, for he had to carry water and chop wood, but now with our modern conveniences we have spare time in which to bowl with the Bowling Club or go out for the Gym Club. With such a wide range of activities, everyone is busy doing what he likes best to do. O Gordon, B. Wells, j. Harlow, and M.

Meloney register mixed emotions over articles in the latest edition of the G 5' Gi' School Gives Students EMQTIO Very few people would like school if it were only a place to learn, to study and to take tests. Forf tunately our school isn't like that. There is a lighter side, the social side of school when everyone has a good time. The sophomores begin their year with a big party, which includes dancing and a floor show. They work very hard on new dance routines and tricky decorations. A spirit of enthusiasm prevails, and sophomores find that getting ready for the party is as much fun as the party itself. In March comes the Junior Prom. The gym is trans' formed from its everyday appearance to a beautif ful dance floor, decorated with Orchids in the Moonlight , as happy couples trip the light fantastic. Throughout the year there's always something going on, whether it's a senior dance or an open house, a pep rally, or a football game. The emotions that are somewhat suppressed during the week, come into their own over the weekends, when the school is alive with activity and fun. Last of all comes the Senior Final. The most im' portant dance in the life of a highschool senior. It is a never to be forgotten night that brings to an end a wonderful high school career.

Carlton Abbott Last year the administration was busily engaged with buildings to house the everfgrowing number of students in Lansdowne. They succeeded in erecting ai new wing and a new elementary building. This year their problem was building human relations. In a twofday workshop of teachers and parents the iimiliar problems of moral and spiritual values were analyzed and guidance techniques were studied. Under the leadership of Dr. E. Carlton Abbott, super- intendent of schools, with principal ofthe high school, Mr. Joseph D. Moore, and assistant principal, Miss Mary E. Lindenmuth, the Eiculty and parents divided into small groups and discussed everything from homework to hotrods. In the high school office and the office of the super' intendent are seen the friendly faces of Mrs. Margaret Chaffee, Misses Jennifer Maryanski, Mildred Mcf Mr. ,lo eph D.

Henderson Keep the School Running Smoothly Ghee, and Barbara Marshall who help keep the busif ness end of the school's administration. In these ofhces all the functions of the school are cofordinated. Academic, social and athletic schedules must be worked out to make possible the concurrance of many school activities. The school budget, which last year amounted to bB654,000, is balanced and organf ized by the administrators. The high school oflice is the scene of busy activity. Students stop in to discuss curricula, activities, or schedules. Parents come in for discussions and interf views, and faculty members come to collect their mail, use the phone, or use the file cards to locate students, or to study their scholastic records. The administration is responsible for interpreting to students and parents the results of college achievef ment tests, aptitudes, personality tests, and others Miss Barbara Marshall Miss jennifer Maryanski which are taken during the school year. The junior high has, by this time, become an inf eluded part of high school life, but the job of co- ordinating the juniorfsenior activities can still be a complicated one. lt is this job which is handled by Mr. H. Stanley Kleckner, assistant to the principal. It is he who helped the junior high with their parties and their problems. The administration, through study, planning and work, has brought about a better understanding be' tween students, faculty and oflicials. They are co' operating and working together for the good of the school as a whole. With the help of all these leaders of the school, and our school board too, the Lansdowne High School is a smoothfworking, cofordinated system of activity and education. Mrs. Margaret Chaffee Mlss Mildred McGhee qt Lis, Socrates used to make a nuisance of himself by stopping people on the streets of Athens and asking them questions which made them angryfbecause they had to think. As a rule, people don't like to think. High school students are very normal in this respect, and at times they are very much displeased when their teachers insist that they reason logically. But, through constant pressure in classes, students are beginning to realize the primary importance to them in speaking, writing, and thinking clearly. By studying the great worksff' novels, poems, short stories, and playswour horizons are broadened, and what is perhaps even more important, our appreciaf tion of life is enhanced.

Uur school offers several foreign languages to stu' dents. Todays world, growing smaller all the time, makes it very much worthwhile for a student to know another tongue. Besides, we gain a better understand' ing of our own language. We also learn the beautiful mythology of the old Romans, the medieval history of France, or the joys and sufferings of a typical Spanish speaking family. We come to realize that people in other parts of the world are not very much different from us. We learn that to think logically and honestly is a goal worthwhile achieving in our language courses. ty all find their way into our m' d Grace Bender VlTg1Hld Christ Louis Gerxhman Corner Davies Mtirtlia Hartman Nlargarct lvlcCullrmgli Elizabeth Nolfc Charlotte Sliaefer K, johansson, B.

Grace Srraley Lawrence Richards Pat Silverstein Edwin Snyder Bella Graham Politics We Democratically Discuss World, National, Local Problems Kansas gives 18 votes for Mr. Eisenhower and four votes for Mr. Taft. Members of the junior American history classes learned a lot about a ref publican form of government when they attended a model nominating convention as a part of their study of American government. The convention carried out its meeting just like a regular Republican convention, with high school students filling all oflices and each school representing a state or territory. Electioneering went on before the voting, and moving speeches for each candidate stirred delegates to noisy demonstrations with flying paper, huge signs, and booming drums. The seniors learned about the government of the world when some of them took part in a model United Nations general assembly meeting. Again the meeting was patterned after a real U.N. assembly and various schools took the parts of member nations. The problems faced by our national administrators can be better understood when one has faced similar problems. Therefore the Student Council not only helps in maintaining good governmentg it is a practical lesson in economics. Representatives to the council are elected from each homeroom. Each spring the nominees for ollice hold a campaign and in May the campaign rally explodes in the auditorium. Each presif dential candidate has a senior campaign manager who explains the merits of his candidate. The nominees make speeches and the school retires to vote by secret ballot. This is all very similar to our nation's governf ment. The Student Court carries on the lesson, taking up the judiciary part of our government. The court, run entirely by students, tries those who have acted against school rules. Debates and panel discussions in history classes help each person to see the points of View of others, and to establish opinions of his own. The aim of our history classes is a better understanding of our nation with the result of better government. a si :WELL M Smllille . Mr. Drake points out center of U. S. population to H.

Each student can also learn to use his hands and to master skills which may be used to earn money upon graduation. Any girl knows that if she has attained speed and accuracy in typing and shorthand that she will have a job waiting for her when she graduates. The business department prepares girls for positions as stenographer. Or, if she prefers, a businessfwomanf tofbe may master the working of office machines and take up work with them come june. Boys aren't left out either. While every boy who takes a course in woodshop may not want to become a carpenter, he certainly will enjoy being able to HX the broken chairleg at home. Or he may find use for meta lcraft if only as a hobby for relaxation. A wouldfbe engineer can learn whether he will be really happy in the work by doing a little mechanical drawing. Nothing will help out a girl's clothes allowance so much as being able to make her own clothes, and someday maybe the clothes of her children. Sewing class offers a make while you learn course, and what girl doesn't like to show off with a new recipe learned in cooking? All this is training, useful for all, from the Various parts of our school.

Where do they come from? just follow your nose, says the science guide, and you'll rind yourself in the chemistry laboratoryfin the midst of oddfshaped creatures half hidden in huge lab aprons. As someone ducks a falling bottle of H2304 and another embryo chemist gleefully watches a dazzling experiment, we duck hastily out the door, pursued by hot pieces of a test tube that has just burst. Now the aroma of formaldehyde beckons us into the biology lab where cringing girls and pseudofbrave boys bend over halffdissected frogs. Here inside the formaldehyde is almost vanquished by the geraniums in the green house. Across the hall everything is so different in physics. Aside from a few shrieks from various stages of electrof cution, things are in fine order and there is no smell. The only thing that mars the beauty of the scene is the frown of concentration on each students face. The more advanced algebra and geometry classes are even more dillicult to visit. It is rumored that as soon as the door is closed, the class takes off for outer space to investigate infinity. Besides, one peek at the complicated formulae on the blackfboard is enough to give one an inferiority complex. Our trip has been rather rapid. In real school life, the students go muchmore slowly and absorb a lot of knowledge along the way. Atomic Progress Esther Morris john Rank A.

In any well run school there must be somef thing to strive for or someone to look up to. As well as trying to measure up to teachers, students try to bring themselves up to the high standards of a few of their classmates. lt's a real job for this few to hold up their standards and act like real leaders. Each year every homeroom in the high school picks a representative and an alternate to send to the Student Council. This year the governing body was led by Pete Crawford. This was the group that took all the gripes or suggestions that the students had for the school, mulled over them, and came up with the answers. March brought the impressive Honor Society initiation. Prexy Dave Waltoii slowly read off the names of the most outstanding senior boys and girls and a select few juniors who were to be inducted. They were recognized for leadership in scholarship as well as politics. For the first time we were given the opportunity to select juniors and seniors who we thought had been our leaders during the year. The final analysis indie cated to us the group who had guided us in action and opinion, but who most of all were the ones we tried to imitate. Student Council members: B. Horner. A. Stratton, A.

Thats what we thought because Lansdowne Highers are gaining more useful knowledge and skills at school than is generally realized.

There they mold lamps, Candelabra, car and machine parts, and go on to learn more advanced skills and tech' niques in Metal Club. As for the girls, their home economics courses are invaluable. In clothing and millinery classes, young Berthas not only explore the ins and outs of the sewing machine but also delve into the Helds of textiles, interior decorating, Rishions, and color schemes.

He was told his fourfyear average of 88 and even his marks in all the standard tests he had taken. No more was needed when the employer learned also that he was a three' G. Curran, A. Aung, and R.

You haven't even heard of the personality and conduct records that also are kept throughout the six years of high school. Then there are the publications which give a picture of school activity as a whole, citing outstanding workers. Take the eight newspapers put out in one schocl year and you have the diary of the school. So there's a wealth of information packed into the school records: football awards, A's and B's, amiable personalities, presidents of student councils, homef room responsibilities, singers and artists, HifY, and National Honor Society members. Our records tell the whole story of the school. I Zebley seems to find a criticism on 1. Bloomburg's report card quite funny B Horner and C. Abbott keep the student activity cards up to date T.

It could happen only in Mr. Browns driver training classes, one of the many courses in which the students get marked for having fun. I Who says it's not fun to eat cinnamon buns made in cooking class or to type to fast boogie woogie and slow dreamy waltzes? Almost any time of the day smiling industrial arts boys can be seen working in the shops. Even the highfstepping color guard gets its thrill as it marches between the halves at the football games. Moreover, any nice day in fall or spring, pupils can be found with their friends on the front steps of the school as they go over some French vocabulary or try to solve some physics problem. A lot of work goes on during the hot days of August as the boys' football team prepares for their opening game. The real joy, however, comes when the touchdowns are scored during that game. Thus, in countless ways, the school tries to help the student to learn to enjoy his work. S. Irwin, P. Blair and T. Crossley study the mysteries of the aquarium HIGH SCH00l. K. Heaney, R.

The auditorium was filled to capacity as the whole town turned out to enjoy the musical comedy, aglow with Scotch costumes. However the preparations were not without their tense moments. With less than 24 hours until curtain time the leading lady, Ann Garcia, was still in bed with laryngitis, but she recovered for a successful performance. In the dress rehearsal, real bread was used in the market baskets of the chorus in the scene at Mac' Connachy Square. By Thursday night it was so hard that fresh bread had to be supplied for Friday and half of it was eaten by the hungry cast before the per' formance was over. A demonstration of jujitsu sent poor Heinrich Joswig, as Harry Beaten, sailing head over heels, but in spite of that he was able to lead the men of Brigaf doon a merry chase. Diane Corbin, Janis Glenn, and Doug Hole, com' plete in miniature Scotch plaids, added to the atmosf phere as three little citizens of Brigadoon. The stage crew, under the direction of Mr. Horace Laubach, lent its talent to the production. Between scenes the boys rushed madly on stage, struggling with scenery. A surplus of wooden steps Hlled the ramp. The gym became a beauty parlor with Mrs. Virf ginia Christ and Miss Sarah Adams applying the lipf stick, rouge, mascara, and all the trimmings, and room 44 was transformed into the wardrobe room with Mrs. Helen Stevens supervising the costuming. Despite all the worries and rehearsals, the teamwork and cooperation of the cast and directors resulted in a final thrilling production q3rigadoon Whole Town Clark tells M. Ciampaglia and R.

Here isnan energetic group of young people looking hackxover the years of high school and feeling, perhaps, a bit like the runner who has just Won the hundred yard dash. It's been a whirlwind race packed with all the activities and studies and social life that Lansdownelollers. With formalities taken care of hy President Ted Hole, Vice President Carole Abbott, Secretary Anne Powers and Treasurer Dick Purdy, the class accom' plished much to be remembered during the year. Cther senior leaders to be commended for their Work are Pete Crawford, Student Council chief, David Wziltoii, National Honor Society prexyg and leader of HifY, Aline Stratton. Enough thanks can not be given to class adviser, Mr, HStan Kleckner. His efforts and guidance have been the decisive iictor in keeping seniors a closely' knit group.

Lightehearted seniors gathered together their best amateur talent to produce the entertaining comedy, L'George Washington Slept Here, starring Louise Lee and Ken Miller. Throughout the year we were informed accurately of the politics, sports and social aspects of the school. This was managed by our school newspaper, Garnet and Gray, which was industriously edited by Ann Garcia. Thanks to some ambitious seniors, the class sponf sored a successful open house and sold stationery for Christmas. Each senior was a salesman with his own samples of stock and high pressure sales talk. Washington! The long awaited day finally arrived. From half past six Thursday morning until late Friday evening the Class of '52 spent the quickest and happiest time of our lives. Any of the tired seniors could have told you about the wealth of inf teresting places visited, but each was perhaps a little better informed on Glen Echo amusement park or the night spent at the Ebbitt Hotel. As June approached we realized that our race was nearing an end. The last time was approaching for everythingg the last speecheswwhich were to be made at commencementg Hnal exams were really final this time. But the biggest Hnish was to be the Senior Final. Staged this year at the beautiful Bala Country Club, it ofered the dreamy music of Bob Fredericks and his orchestra. In later years we will reminisce nostalgically about these days in L. H. S. We didn't start togetherfsome of us hardly knew each other, but now as we graduate together we find that out of our efforts and through the opportunities that Lansdowne offers we've managed to weld a class were proud to claim.

The sophs proved their ability by offering talent and willing spirit in many and varied fields. They were strong supporters on athletic grounds, played a big part in the A.A.

Herr A sportsfloving class, the freshmen were proud of their four undefeated sports teams. They especially were thrilled at the championship which their snappy hoopsters snagged in the Lions' Club and Eastern Delaware County Tournaments. Ninth grade sports stars also hlled positions on several senior high teams. Many other ninth graders also found time to add their energy and talents to senior high activities. There weie freshmen in the orchestra and in publif cations, and several who were especially prominent in high school talent shows. As the leaders in the junior high Student Council, the class of '55 drew up a conf stitution for this student government body, which is the medium through which students democratically voice their opinions. Supervised by their class adviser and civics teacher, Ninth Grade Eager to Do Their Best in All OFFICERS junior High Student Council ojflcers K. An' derson, j. Brangan, B. Worthington, and R. Wilson read over a committee report in the library Mrs. Patricia Silverstein, the ninthfgraders combined learning with pleasure on the annual class trip to Harrisburg. Seeing the State buildings was a big event for them, since in their civics course, they had dis' cussed so often the functions of the state legislaturef Perhaps some of the most vivid memories were im. pressed when they stopped at Hershey for a look around the candy factory. After a tiring but exciting day, the ninthfgraders arrived home filled with happy memories of a neverftofbefforgotten trip. The year not only started with a lively party, but it also wound up with a bangup graduation party. Now the senior high school is just around the cor' ner, one prospective graduate pointed out, and we're anxiously awaiting the day when we walk into the school as sophomores, senior high. Row 1: D.

McCall and B. McKelvey pounce on a Springfield back trying to go around end Operating in a splitfT formation, instead of the former single wing, the Lansdowne Lords, coached by Mr. Martin Hubley, turned in a record of 1-1-7. A week of football camp and a month of practice pref ceeded the season opener with Media in which the locals bowed by one touchdown. Darby overpowered the Lords, but the Ridley Park tilt proved to be a thriller as the gridmen knocked on the scoring door several times. A nip and tuck tussle with Springfield ended in a tie. Although the Lords gained more yardage than their opponents, they could not push the winning points across. In the last game of a 26fyear series, the Lords ref linquished the Old Oaken Bucket, won by '5O's squad, to the Upper Darby Royals. The 'LBucket will remain in the Blue and Gold trophy case. The Sharon Hill squad could not hold up against a Hredfup Lansdowne eleven. The locals played an un' excelled lirst half to build up a lead which they never gave up. The Sharon Hill team started a second half rally but it was quickly quenched.

Young A seasons record of 87 points per game was set by the Lansdowne basketball live in the initial Medial clash and repeated in the Yeadon tilt. In the second Media contest the Lords broke the previous record and set an allftime school record by scoring 104 points. Starting the season strong the basketeers snagged three straight nonfleague contests and dropped one to the Alumni. The '5Old Grads took their second tilt in as many years. The Lords first league contest proved to be a close one as the team edged Yeadon by one point in a thriller all the way. The Lords paced the Suburban H League for six H. Penney P. Gallagher G. Holmes weeks as Coach William Radcliffe led the team to nine straight league conquests. Radnor, runnerfup in the league, gave the Lords their first setback, conf quering them by a rhreefpoint margin, 52-55. Darby, winner of the league, was the only team to rout the Lords twice. In the first tussle Darby held the scoring edge throughout the game. In the last game of the season the two teams clashed in a fan' packed gym.
