Our school helps us to live peacefully with ourselves Let’s Take a Peek Inside Us Have you ever pondered the meaning oj happiness? Perhaps the greatest task that any human being jaces in this lije is to learn how to live with himself. Surety, an individual cannot ever live well with anyone else, or engage peacejully and successjutly in any activity unless he has jirst mastered the art of living with himself. This is the sub- stance oj much research in psychology, psychiatry, religion, and education. For that reason, the LAHldN theme jor this year tries to point out how our high school greatly influences and affects the adolescent in his conscious and uncon- scious quest jor happiness. 'To do this, “Let’s Take a Peek Inside Us.” To 1 ive peacefully and creatively with Gosttentl . . .

We take them for granted, often complain that they are out of date with the times, sometimes wish we could be free of them, and, on the whole, rarely give them full credit for their patience, care, and wisdom. However, deep inside oi us, we know that scholastically and socially, they are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in any way possible. We know, too, that it is their interest and enthusiasm which have helped make many a school function successful. Our folks keep informed of student and school activities via the Home and School Association, which is one of the largest in the state. Large attendance of II and S meetings points out the parents’ desire to know what is going on around L.A.H.S. and indicates their desire to be of assistance. Informed of school doings bv the Home and School, they have aided, monetarily and in other ways, in making numerous dances, concerts, and other school projects smash triumphs. Also, Mom and Dad’s concern for our scholastic welfare has been shown by their turnout at “Back to School Night.’’ This affair is held annually to give our folks a chance to meet the teachers anti learn the classroom methods they employ. Besides our parents’ concern and love for us, perhaps the most important need which we feel must be satisfied is our belief and trust in God. Proud Jather o f . . Brangan dials with son and Jf.

Ititchetl outlines the I..AAI.S. music program to interested parents attending Rack to School Sight Without God in our lives, there is an emptiness, and each year the importance of religion is becoming more manifest to us. Regular religious attendance creates strength of character for many L.A.f I .S. students. Many bovs and girls sing in local church choirs; quite a few st «.dents participate in the young peoples’ groups of local churches. Stimulating recreation for its members is provided by church basketball and softball teams. A great number of students and townspeople alike turned out en masse to the American legion’s “Back to God Night.” After an old- fashioned hymn sing, the group heard prominent industrialists speak of religion’s importance in today’s modern world. Our teachers are very understanding What a wonderful feeling it was to know we could count on our teachers wav beyond the usual trig, problem or physics experiment! Ap- pearing at almost every sport’s contest, was Mr. Charles P. Forbes, faculty manager of athletics, to show his loyalty to our teams. Mr. Corner Davies gave a great deal of his dramatic and musical talent to assist Mr. Corbin in making “Fortune Teller such an excellent show. Ready to answer our numerous senior English questions was M iss Charlotte ShaefTer, librarian, who had an amazing variety of the “right books,” and could always tell us just where to line! what. Concerned with teenage problems in and out of school, Mr. I loward Freeman conducted popu- lar classroom, study hall, and after school dis- cussions, also stimulating our thinking through the Student Council. College boards were bound to loom up in the course of our senior year, and Miss Margaret McCullough was in- valuable in giving so much of her time for our individual or group review classes. Mr. Law- rence Richards, eager for us to get acquainted with the problems of our day and age, planned many opportunities for us to take part in Model United Nations programs. The friendliness and understanding of each personal adviser, and the capable guidance of Principal Joseph I). Moore and Miss Mary E. Lindcnmuth led the 1953-54year at Lansdowne- Aldan High School to a happy ending. .1 ir.f .1. Yarl points out the source oj Brazilian products to 1). Alowry, C. Strunk, L. Lorsh, P. Anns, and 1).

Freeman Respecting others who are different Psychiatrists tell us that most of our basic feelings and prejudices are cultivated uncon- sciously in us by the time we are six years old. Perhaps they may be right. But no one in Lansdowne-Aldan High School, no matter what his background may be, is thought of as an “outsider.” Our everyday school life and activities pro- vide the best laboratory for developing mutual respect and cooperation. Singing together in chorus, acting together in plays, working to- gether in student organizations, anti playing together on teams built! friendships and destroy prejudices which may have existed in our minds. The need for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic is important, but our school has other very important lessons to teach. One of these is learning to respect people who differ from us in nationality, color, religion, or economic status. Our classroom discussions often turn in this direction. In language classes we study foreign lands and people in addition to vocabulary and grammar. In English classes we read the works of authors from many kinds of backgrounds, and discuss the factors which influence their writing. Each year, with the help ol our International Friendship Committee, our school is fortunate enough to have a foreign exchange student. From him we find out a great deal about the similarities and differences between his people and ours. In addition to this, the American Field Service makes it possible for one or two of our students to have a chance to spend the summer in a foreign country, and then share with all of us their deeper understanding of the people of that country. We try not only to tolerate, but to understand. Mrs. I Evans shows a silk scarj which she brought back from her rip to India to K. Hishel, 1'.. Hagopian, If . Anderson, J. Brown, B. Bishop, and . .

Denkhaus, I). Klinger Charles Kingsley, famous man of letters, was once asked, 'Tell me the secret of your strong joyous life.” He replied, I had a friend.” So it is with us. Our friends, their hobbies, attitudes, and their beliefs have direct bearing upon lives and what we do with them. Oftimes because of a friend s interest in an extra-cur- ricular program, we too are drawn into its web. With the added incentive of our friends’ com- panionship, we investigate this new activity and are more likely to join in vigorous participation. Pat Lenhardt, a member of the International Friendship Committee, which is comprised of exchange students and three students at large, was encouraged to apply for the American Field Service Scholarship as a result of these friendly contacts. Phis summer, she will cross the ocean to live with a German family. With a friend's invitation, we may be asked to add our talents to the Publicity, Student- Faculty, or Assembly committees. Each, in its turn, will aid in developing perhaps previously unknown skills in journalism, art, debate, social relations, keen judgment, and ability to discern. Even in English classes, via group work, we may unearth hidden dramatic abilities or a touch for developing original programs. In investigating our friend’s avocations, we may have found our own.

When we are jree Jrom anxieties, worries, and jear, and jeel that life is worth living, our mental health is said to be good. How does our school contribute to good mental health? This is our story in words and pictures in the next Jew pages. Worth Living Mr. G. Davies mimics Shakespeare’s Polonius to students J. Kelly, T. Preston, IV. McGowan, JR. Haas, and R. Lewis Good physical health helps eliminate There’s a lest looming like a dark cloud. There’s a dance promising an evening of soil lights anti romance. Both will he a flop if the student is not feeling up to par, for a person's general health greatly determines his attitude toward life. Eliminate tension, anti the mind feeling more refreshed, is eager to receive knowledge. During gym classes, ‘participants learn to soothe their taut nerves by exercise anti group games. Learning to give anti take is experienced in every game. Learning to take it on the chin becomes easier with every loss suffered. Like- wise, health courses teach students to respect the interdependence of the mind anti the body, anti the need to respect both. These same minds which are constantly being sharpened in the classroom arc freed from ex- cessive strain and work by the many types of physical activity, thus conditioning them for the essential role they play in preserving health anti happiness in adolescence and adulthood. 16 Dr. II.

I’ll never be able to drive, says a 16-year-old coed, fidgeting with the gear- shift and going into second gear instead of first. With this worry in the back of her mind, her potential energy dwindles, and she becomes irritable, nervous, easily exhausted, and un- happy. In Driver Training, she learns methods of easing her anxieties, and by consistent prac- tice under calm conditions, she eventually learns to regard driving with composure. The same type of anxiety exists in much of our work in school and in life. Worry about marks, causing us undue anxiety, may affect our sleep, eating habits, disposition, and happiness. In The card catalogue saves time and worry jor . . Butten, Jl. Sherman, and R. Lee I intended over the meaning oj a word, G. Ingram, G. Kemble, and F. Harper go to Webster's jor help we overcome little anxieties • • • school we learn how to try to do our best honestly and to avoid comparisons with those who may make out a little better than we. In learning to attack little anxieties, whether they concern the term report, tomorrow’s home- work, money for Saturday’s date, proper eti- quette at a tea-social, library research, relations with teachers, attendance at extra-curricular meetings, or dressing properly, students in every class every day are becoming more adept in put- ting things in their proper places, and not re- garding every little thing in life of major impor- tance worthy of being worried about. In other words, our school is helping us to mature wisely. Counting money collected Jor I he Weljare Drive are J. Jarvis, B. Miller, J. Hughes, B. Vinceni, K. Blanchard, T. Snyder, and L.

Problems— problems and more problems for the sensitive adolescent. How to get along with people and how to make the best of social opportunities in school cause more emotional frustrations among stu- dents than their academic school work. How- ever, in many classes as an outgrowth of his regular studies, the student is laced with actual life situations, and by discussion and analysis finds out how to become more confident of him- self. Also, during the year, bulletin boards in various rooms are jammed with pictures and sketches which depict the plight of the adolescent who just doesn’t know what is the right thing to do. Learning proper etiquette, good manners, and the little things which make life more pleasant enable students to maintain good emotional equilibrium and make life much happier, freeing them from worry and fear. 0 Practicing the rules for being a gentleman, S.

But let it go, and “you’re all washed up.” In every classroom that we sit, we are continually thinking about, discussing, analyzing, or solving problems. “Will the hydrogen bomb destroy civilization? Will the Italians turn communist? Will the Republican party continue to receive the support of the people? Is McCarthy destroying American liberties? Was the author just in his treatment of the heroine? Can we raise the necessary funds to build a swimming pool? Will our school be- come overcrowded like other schools?” Kach challenge we dip into prepares us for a larger, more complicated one. Though some of the problems which we try to solve may be shrugged off by our elders, it is a truism of life that unless we strive to solve our own problems now, whatever they are, we shall never be able to do so when we are faced with real adult needs. Our teachers help us immensely in this task. Without their aid we would strike impasse after impasse. At times, we may cast disparaging re- marks about “slave-drivers,” “taskmasters,” and “Simon Ixigrees,” but deep down in calmer moments we understand that what they are doing for us is beyond monetary compensation. For, in helping us to solve our problems, our teachers are providing us with the basic under- standings and guidance which will help to make us happy, well-adjusted citizens. We do not skirt discussions of communism, McCarthyism, atomic survival, world federation, government corruption, and other big eye- opening cjuestions. Only by analyzing and un- derstanding them and searching for what is true and what is not true can we attain a sanity in life and balance within ourselves. We seek the truth Mr. C.

Rushing to com- plete an English unit, studying for an important exam, or worrying about marks arc all activities which create tension in the minds of students. The student himself is aware that if the degree of tension becomes too high, the pressure causes a mental block in his mind, and he is unable to do his best work. Sewing, cooking, gym, woodshop, metal shop, music, art, and many other “doing’’ activities with which our high abound, oiler students the means for relieving this nervous tension and living well-balanced lives.

Piloted by Adviser Louis Gershman, who this year received a special distinguished citation award from President Johnson of Temple University, this twosome has copped many awards both state and national. Petite and peppy Ruth Gortncr busily directs the “Ged G”, while Pat Mason, business mana- ger, keeps the record books clear of any deficits. The Lahian editorship will be aw'arded to a senior staff member who in Mr Gershman s opinion has contributed most towards making the yearbook a success. The publications department began the year with a bang by netting over one hundred dollars in its annually sponsored dance held a week after school started. Also, Lahian boasts a greater number of subscriptions than it has ever had in its history. Rose Buccieri, feature editor: Marian Bell, fourth page editor; Bill Bingham, sports editor, plus a staff of thirty reporters assist Ruth in rolling off the Garnet and Gray’.r eight issues.

Sixty strong, these musicians entertained the throng at the football games with their colorful halftime presentations and sparked many other school activities with their spirited rhythms. Not to be forgotten will be their junket to Convention Hall, where they copped an award of merit in the Cultural Olympics competition. The grid season hardly over, bandsmen switched from march to concert music in time to make their first stage appearance of the year at the Northeast Civic Association’s dedicatory ceremonies. Performing at numerous other meetings and ceremonies kept the Mitchcll-men in shape for their spring concert, the high spot of their busy schedule. The orchestra, directed by Mr. Don Corbin, also provided their share of musical enjoyment to the students. This group supplied musical background to the senior play, participated in the Christmas program, “The Fortune Teller and dedicatory ceremonies at the new YMCA. Their musicianship was also heard during numer- ous assembly programs. The orchestra topped off a highly successful season with a performance at Commencement. Mr. Don Corbin’s A Cappella choir blended their voices into many school activities. This much-lauded group was spotlighted in the Christ- mas program and also staged Victor Herbert's operetta, “The Fortune Teller.

Williams, .1. Puriejoy, Our big show . . News! Good news even though it meant hard work for A Cappclla choristers and the L.A.H.S. orchestra. The choir’s Steering Committee had at last decided upon THE FORTUNETELLER, bv Victor Herbert, as the big musical presenta- tion ot the year. Will the audience like it? Does the plot need rewriting? Will the choir give their full support? These were questions that raced through the minds of committee members at every meeting. Then in early Februarv the final decision was made, and pro- duction plans for THE FORTUNE TELLER Cringing jrom the Count’s blow, A.

Since an operetta is given only once every two or three years, it is customary for administra- tion, faculty, and students to give full coopera- tion to the show's success. Committees were formed, music rehearsed, and the stage dressed up to resemble a Count's country villa. Mr. Ghomer Davies, our dramatic coach, gave us the pep and vitality needed to act like a wild gypsy or a I lussar in search of a girl. Mr. Don Corbin, musical director and producer, gave us confi- dence in ourselves anil in our show. Gypsy lover, , . Valentine, es- capes with P. Mock ho will forget the Wednesday night dancing classes, the committee meetings before school, the last minute cramming to learn the words to ROMANY LIFE, the ballet costume that didn t fit, or the time we had getting make-up out of our hair? We look back now and remember what fun, what work, and what heartaches we had in the preparation. Now THE FORTUNE TELLER is over, but autographed programs and records and memories remain; THE FORTUNE TELLER will never be forgotten! Lejt: h.

Valentine 35 Clubs are outlet for pent-up energy At the end of a hard day at school, there is nothing better than to say, e can relax to- night. See you at club. Clubs give students the opportunities to get together anti have fun socially and, also, at the same time, to acquire some educational knowl- edge while having fun doing it. Also, students find clubs a big help in gaining much needed poise bv participating in projects to be pre- sented in front of small groups. To give an active social life, to help develop poise, and to teach something new—these seem to be the main objectives of our school s clubs. How do we form a club? Why, there's nothing simpler. Find ten people in school with a com- mon interest and the willingness to meet and a teacher who is willing to supervise—and there you have it: A club is born. JUNIOR DEBS Row 1 : . . Galbraith, B.

Four years of time has sped by, and we have already begun to reminisce nostalgically about our days in L.A.H.S. We were sparked into action by our able president, Bill Dickson. He was assisted by Ginnv Lewis, vice president; Bill Slothower, treasurer, and Dolores McIntyre, secretary. Other senior leaders to be commended are Fred Weinstein, S. C. president, and Marian Bell, president of the National Honor Society.

Combining their efforts in leading roles were Norma Luisi, Alma Fontana, Rose Buccieri, Marilyn Fox, Janet Lane, Robin At kiss and Pau l Krause. Seniors were kept “hep” on the latest news by the Garnet and Gray, two of whose able editors were Marian Bell and Rose Buccieri.

Maher, business manager, was confronted with many problems connected with her arduous job, she uncomplainingly did her job with great en- thusiasm. Spotlighting the year were two big senior dances. The “Snow Ball created a magical world of snowllakes and soil lights, while the rollicking “Football Frolic featured goal posts anti footballs. At last it came. After all the bus lists, room lists, anti reservations were confirmed, the dream of seeing Washington became a reality. Taking advantage of every moment, seniors had two days filled with happiness and excitement. The days were spent in touring Washington anti taking pictures, but perhaps the night at Hbbitt Hotel provided the most sheer enjoyment. As the month of May drew near, seniors be- came excited. The From was almost here and there was so much to do. When the night finally arrived, the students entered the Penn Sherwood I Lotel for a gala evening. That night will live forever in our hearts. Then June was upon us. As we handed in our last papers and practiced for commencement, we realized that we were now leaving L.A.H.S. Members of the class of 1954 will always re- member the good times and cherish the memo- ries of their high school chums.

After much discussion, Night of Knights was decided upon as this year s Junior Prom theme. Feudalistic lords and ladies adorned the walls and provided a medieval atmosphere for the most thrilling event of the year. This year special congratulations go to two worthy juniors. Pat Lenhardt and Dave Connor both won an A.F.S. Scholarship and will spend their summer in Germany. The Student Council Talent Show found many juniors participating. Class members were also active in Government Day as Frank Franz copped the position of Speaker of the House, the first LAMS student to do so. Another first this year was the election of a girl as Student Council President. The honor went to Claudia Shaiko who promises to assume leadership in such a way as to do credit to her sex. Yes, these are probably the things the class of '55 will remember most and carry with them into their even busier senior year. HOMEROOM 28 Row 1: . Young, T. Preston, .If. . ft alar key, K.

Buchanan consider possibilities for making money Because of the recent jointure with Aldan, the Sophomores heralded their first high school year with a get-acquainted dance to become more familiar with their new class members. These future “tycoons” of LAHS devoted a large part of the year promoting their hungry class treasury. Sponsoring an open house and candy sales at home basketball games netted much of the funds. The pennywise '56ers again displayed their salesmanship when they sold all-occasion greeting cards to further reinforce their pocket book. Several of the Sophs supported varsity crews this year while many sparked JV squads. Others cheered the teams on from the stands or worked behind refreshment stands. As an innovation, the social-minded class of '56 came up with a Sophomore Code. The booklet was formulated by a committee com- prised largely of students and several parents and contained suggestions for dating and parties. HOMEROOM 37 Row 1: I . Fearn, B. Fierce, I). Marlin, I.

Not only did the enthusiastic Frosh spark the year with undefeated girls' hockey and basketball teams, but tallied out- standing records on the boys' squads as well. But the freshman lent their talents to other fields, too. In October they displayed their musical and dramatic ability in the annual pro- duction, Fun and Frolic, ’ and at the same time netted funds for junior high athletic ac- tivities. Limelighting the year’s events was the Frosh Hop where the Ireshmen danced to I ee Scott's lilting music amid giant Valentine hearts. Well aware that a democracy must have well- informed and capable citizens to succeed, the Frosh studied state and national government during the year. Highlighting the course was a trip to Harrisburg, Pa., where they toured the capitol buildings and caught a glimpse of state political life. As a climax, the freshmen topped off their memorable year with a class party. HOMEROOM 12 Row 1: G. Lausrh, N. Rogers, . . Russo, At. A usser, B. Cow per- thwait, R. tI ago plan. It. Watkins.

Carlton Abbott, the jointure between Lansdowne and Aldan school systems has become a reality. Of course, despite the tremendous progress which has been made, there are still many problems which offer a challenge to Dr. Abbott, Assistant Mr. Wayne Klinger and the other administrators. Several headaches which were brought about by the jointure included changing athletic awards, class rings, stamps, and (lags. Mr. Joseph D. Moore, principal, and his two able assistants, Miss Mary Lindenmuth and Mr. II. Stanley Kleckner, have stressed the further development of the interview and guidance program. The juniors, for instance, after taking the Drexel Tests, were personally interviewed and explained their capabilities, weaknesses and hidden talents. Secretaries Mrs. Isabel Algard, Miss Betty Steiner, Miss Jenifer Maryanski and Mrs. .Margaret Genn also have played an important part in keeping the ball rolling. Although per- petually taxed by such queries as Did you find a red sneaker in the cafeteria”, phone calls, dic- tation, etc., they have always been considerate and patient with us. Air. Joseph D.

A teacfier’s job cannot be confined to an eight to three-thirty” basis. A teacher’s homework must go home too, together with the problems and menial strain collected during the day.

Helen Hort, and Mr. Louis Gershman help us to overcome this difficulty. Stammering before a group and making a poor impression through our writing are situations which all of us work to avoid. Future housewives anil engineers alike know the importance ol being able to compute easily and correctly. Miss Grace Straley, Mr. Martin Hubley, and Mr. Arthur Hulme provide the foundation for advanced work given by Mrs. Esther Morris and Mr. Howard Freeman. Those whose travels take them abroad know the frustration of being unable to communicate with the people whom they meet. Miss Margaret Cook, in her Latin classes, introduces us to the classical mode of living and provides a founda- tion for the two Romance languages, French anil Spanish. Miss Mildred I loopes provides us with the key to Europe, while Miss Sarah Adams opens the door to Spain and Latin America. Mr. John Rank presents the junior high wi th their first real encounter with the scientific world. Mr. George Epley, Mr. Raul McClure, and Mr. Charles Forbes spend much ot their time before and after school in the laboratory helping their biology, chemistry, and physics students. I’ve five experiments to do by Friday!” announces a science student who joins the ranks of perennial procrastinators. Mr. William Radcliffe, Mrs. Edna Sinnamon, Miss Mimi Hart, and Mr. Lloyd Black help us to improve our health through better under- standing of the ways in which our mind anil body function. In health and physical education classes, they help us to get rid of that caged feeling by pointing out how tensions originate and how they are dissipated by engaging in physical exercise. Industrial arts and practical arts provide us with the opportunity to work with our hands. Many of us find thi s means of expression effective in relieving that “pent-up” feeling.

Learning to understand other people as well as ourselves is emphasized in our social studies classes. Aliss Janet Vart, Miss Nancy Talcott, and Miss Grace Slraley give us a broad back- ground in the social studies, while Air. Edwin Snyder in world history, Mr. Howard Drake in American history, and Mr. Lawrence Richards in world affairs develop our understanding of the world’s problems. I hose of us who choose business and commer- cial subjects find Aliss Mildred Ankeny, Airs. Janet Felter, Mr. Roy Kraber, and Air. Dale Smith helpful guides in the commercial field which is becoming more and more complex. Art and music under Aliss Kathryn Davis, Mr. Don Corbin, and Mr. Harry Alitchell pro- 71 vide students with the opportunities to enrich their emotional life. Air. Thomas Brown’s driver training is an in- creasingly popular course with juniors and seniors. The highway problem is a complex one, and Mr. Brown discusses the importance of safe driving. M iss Charlotte Sheafer helps the seventh graders attack the library problem. She is there, too, for the upper classmen who need help in se- lecting books for reference and pleasure. Through our faculty’s friendly interest and guidance, we become better equipped to meet the problems that arise in our school life. Fur- thermore, we begin to realize our own capacities and limitations, thus being better equipped to meet the future. A Healthy Body Aids Emotional The very close connection between the body and mind is no longer a disputable jact today. A sick body ojten contributes to poor mental health, or rice versa. Through its physical program our school helps students buildJundamentally strong, healthy bodies. FOOTBALL Coach Martin Hubley's gridders wrapped up the '53 season posting a 6-3 record tor tne year. The Lords can boast of many achievements, among them a grand total ot 174 points scored in nine games, an amazing average of 19J points per fray. Halfbacks Bill Dickson and Tom Jenkins copped high scoring honors with eight six- pointers apiece while Bob McKelvey scampered across the goal line seven times. Bob, who alternated as erd-tullback tor the Garnet and Gray, was selected All-Delaware County end; he was the happy recipient ot many other grid- iron awards, too! At mid-season, Lansdowne-Aldan met unde- feated-untied Sharon Hill in the Upper Darby News “Game ot the Week”. As the third period ended, the score was knotted 6-6, but suddenly the Lords' split-T attack clicked. The result: three touchdowns . . . and the game! Also never-to-be-torgotten was the I urkev Day clash at Swarthmore. Fullback Bob McKelvey tallied on six, seven, and ten yard plunges while speedy Bill Dickson struck pay- dirt twice with his brilliant broken-field running. 1953 VARSITY FOOTBALL Opponents Score LAHS Media 6 13 Darbv 0 20 Ridlev Park () 0 Glen-Nor 0 44 Springfield 20 7 Sharon Hill . .

This was the fourth time that the Lords captured this coveted title. In Suburban II League competition, the hoop- sters claimed a 9-3 record which placed them in a tie with Darby for second place. Yeadon, defending Pennsylvania State champs, easily snagged first place in the league. LA US’s official roundball record for '33 '34 stands at 14 3. Junior Jim Brangan copped high scoring laurels with a grand total of 281 points, an average of 17.6 tallies per game. The speedy guard also seized a position on the All-Kiwanis team.

Co-captains Ken Rishel and Bill Dickson hold down third base and center field positions re- spectively. Popular Bill, selected to last year's all-league team, will lead the hitting attack. Letterwinners Dick Alden and Chip” Hocking again are the keystone combination, while slug- ging Bob LaRouche and basketball star Walt McGowan vie for the open job guarding the initial sack. Backing up the first string infield are Barry Lower, Fred Colclla, and Don Barn- ford. Dean Seltzer, I eon Evans, Don Good, and Bob Keller provide good depth to roam the outer pastures with Dickson. The batteries will probably be Coach Smith's biggest uncertainty. The solution may lie in moundsmen Dave Waters, Don Pusey, and Fred Colella, with Jim Valentine and sophomore Rocco Yaracalli handling the catching chores. This season's enthusiastic squad is certain to be in top contention for the league title. 1953 BASEBALL Opponents Score LAHS Yeadon 8 7 Darby C C Upper Merion Radnor 4 1 2 7 Media 1 2 Collingdale . . . 3 5 Yeadon . . 5 11 1 )arby 2 5 Upper Merion...... r 6 Radnor 0 4 Media 3 7 Collingdale . 2 4 R.

Determined hockey players, coached by Mrs. Edna Sinnamon, aimed at the undefeated title set by three teams in a row. |The girls fell short of this mark by only one game, a heartbreaking loss to the old rival, Upper Darby, 2-1. In seven other contests the Lassies emerged vic- torious, proud to have conquered such teams as Radnor and Swarthmore. Despite the fact that this year's squad broke a 28 game streak, they chalked up more vic- tories than any of the three-year undefeated teams. Several Delaware County hockey coaches stated that this year's L.A.H.S. squad was the best high school hockey team “ever seen. At the end of the season Agnes Watson and Mary Kay Abbott were awarded trophies for the out- standing players. Not for many years has the girls' basketball squad posted such a record! In eight league games the L.A.H.S. coeds remained on top. This undefeated team was guided by Mrs. Sinna- mon, also, and captained by Jean Brown. White sweaters were awarded by the Union Athletic Association to varsity letter women for their outstanding achievement. Linda Johnston, guard, and Ginnv Lewis, forward, received valu- able player trophies, while high scorer Karen Anderson also received an award.

I hese girls showed a lot ot spirit and skill in their lively duels with other schools. Junior I ligh girls made a name tor themselves with perfect records in both hockey and basket- ball seasons. Coached by peppy Miss Mimi Hart, the girls showed an unusual ability to play hockey, and managed to overcome every opponent on their schedule. In basketball, also, the Lassies battled through many exciting close games to end their season victoriously. In girls' varsity athletic contests, the senior and junior high girls' basketball and hockey teams won all but one game.
