LANSDOWNE-ALDAN HIGH SCHOOL, LANSDOWNE, PENNSYLVANIA Bal ance d Li lvin In the Space Age Two Paradox epitomizes the scientific advances of the space age. An astronaut has demonstrated a daring feat of human courage and superb technology; yet the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons ever insanely grows. The impetus of the space age has wrought new problems of determining true values amidst dazzling scientific achieve' ments. Balanced living in the space age looms as a challenge. The search for values is evident at Lansdowne-Aldan High School. A seriousness of purpose accompanies the studies of mathematics, science, language, business, world history, world affairs, and other subjects designed to meet the educational needs of the current era. Minor subjects contribute directly to the mental and physical health of the individual student. A member of the school orchestra playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is reminded of the beauty and struggles of life. Sketching a landscape as an art project helps the student to relate more directly to nature and its true values. Extracurricular activities fulfill a twofold purpose. Sports and dances provide a recreational outlet for participants, while clubs offer members occupational preparation in addition to material studied in class. As you leaf through the pages of the 1961 Lahian, you may observe the many ways in which Lansdownc-Aldan High School attempts balanced living in the space age.

Student Council this year waged a campaign to promote enthusiasm in the student body. Boy cheerleaders were selected under the auspices of Student Council to lead the crowd in rousing cheers. November was the time for the Harvest Moon Ball where the election of the Harvest Moon Queen was enthusiastically participated in by happy dancers under Student Council supervision. The Student Council is also responsible for the Boy and Girl of the Month program. The Athletic Association ticket drive was con- ducted again this year with a great deal of success. Christmas spirit was instilled as people walked by- decorated homeroom doors. A prize was offered by Student Council for the most original door. The school store is one of the business concerns supervised by Student Council. An enjoyable Washington trip was possible be- cause of the planning of Student Council. The evening hotel party was also organized and operated by Student Council. The Student Council constitution was revised this year after much deliberation. S. Tdlbot and B. Smith spend leisure time reading in die library. Nine B. Oberdorf cheerfully explains the Daniell Cell. B. Poole explains the ingredients of a salt. I. Bolton. B. Miller. P. Basehore. and E.

The biology department, headed by Miss Rose- mary Strout and Miss Virginia Lammey, boasts new microscopes, dissecting tools and work tables. A new aquarium houses a wide variety of fish, while the newly renovated solarium accommodates a plethora of plants. New display areas and storage cabinets complete the biology suite. New university type benches, improved service of gas, water and electricity, and a better use of space are new features displayed by chemistry and physics teachers Mr. Paul McClure, Mr. Joseph Pitt and Mrs. Ardis Dow. A project area for people who seek additional work was provided and a hood preventing escape of poisonous gases was also installed. The junior high department sports new facilities for group experimentation. Completely new equip- ment is utilized in projects. The advanced course allowed three years of general science to lie condensed into two. During this time the students absorbed a survey program of astronomy, light energy, electricity, and the funda- mentals of biology, chemistry, and physics. In this study the students were ably assisted by Mr. Bell, Mrs. Gayle How, and Mr. Lance Miller, science teachers, as well as the senior high teachers. Mr. Paul McClure, head of the combined depart- ments, predicts an earth-space science as a goal for the near future. One hope that has been realized is the new ninth grade biology class for those interested. J. West. C. Lu ashiw. P. Buccieri and J.

Graitccr, M. Carson, R. Webster listen intently to new French record. The year 1960-61 witnessed two firsts in the language department: the conversion of room 74 into a language laboratory and the teaching of con- versational French to a select group of seventh and eighth graders who, as a prerequisite, had to main- tain an average of B or better in English during the preceding year. The language laboratory offers an opportunity for the students to perfect pronunciation, a vital skill for a person intending to work in a country other than the continental United States. Since different areas of foreign countries often have their own dialects as in certain parts of this nation, the knowledge of all these dialects assumes importance and can be ob- tained by listening to recordings spotlighting them. Due to marked advancement in many phases of modern life, the need for multilingual persons has increased. In the fields of commerce, teaching, inter- preting, and ambassadorial proceedings, the call for All Gaul is divided into three parts, Mrs. Connors explains to interested Latin .students. people well acquainted with two or three languages appears greater than ever before. Aside from opening a wider range of careers to the student of languages, new literary horizons also emerge as available to him. After a period of con- centrated study, he commences the reading of several great foreign masterpieces written many years ago. The knowledge, feelings, and beautiful flowing works of famed authors who lived in past eras are imparted in this way. The glory of Rome, The Eternal City ; the cul- ture of Salamanca and Barcelona, the intriguing history of France and the Sorbonne spring alive during the study of Latin, Spanish, and French. Not only grammar and literature of these nations are taught but also their cultures and customs. Knowl- edge of these people and their romantic languages was presented by Mrs. Regina Connors, Miss Sarah Adams, Miss Phyllis App, and Miss Susan Foster. Twelve FOREIGN AFFAIRS Miss App demonstrates how the language lab worl{s while P. Willis, J. Osborne, and B. Ely watch intently. N- Gustaferri reports on Pan American Day to an attentive Spanish II class. L. Carter, Gaeta, D. Fleming, and T. Braun discuss the Shal e- spearean theatre.

THE PAST ACTS AS A GUIDE IN UNDERSTANDING Pat Winstead and C. Cucinotta admire a poster decorating the wall of Mrs. Gilda's American History classroom. Ramsey. J. Pepper, and P. Crilly review some of the highlights of the Civil War in Mr. Spafford's eighth grade history class. An intimate knowledge of social studies and his- tory aids us in our search for the answers to the problems confronting the world today and helps us toward a better understanding of its people. In seventh grade the students are introduced to the people and cultures of Europe and Asia through their teachers, Mrs. Nancy Kaebnick, Mrs. Joan Reivich, and Miss Katherine Subers. Eighth grade- students learn of the glory of their American an- cestors and their country with the aid of Mr. Ray- mond Spatford, Miss Regina Stretch, and Mrs. Currie. Pennsylvania history and civics are taught to the ninth graders by Mrs. Nancy-Jcannc Everest, Mrs. Mary Ann Gilda, and Mr. Edwin Snyder. Mr. Snyder also teaches world history which gives his Mr. Spafford lectures to C. Haas and 3. Dunwoody on the V. S. foil owing the Civil War. D. Mershon shows K. Snoep and B. Bern how an early iron smelting furnace operated. Fourteen THE PRESENT students an insight into the rise and fall of men and civilizations. Eleventh grade students delve further into the fascinating study of American history guided by Mr. H. Donn McCafferty and Mrs. Mary Ann Gilda. Finally, the twelfth grade student explores the state of the world today and the cultures of other coun tries. World affairs is taught by Mr. Lawrence Richards and Miss Regina Stretch. Discussion of current news and the scanning of Time magazine information highlighted the senior classes. Special reports were compiled on Russia, Britain, Asian nations, and the Middle East. StU' dents delved into economics with vigor. A Model United Nations at the University of Pennsylvania in April provided some seniors with an exciting experience. G. Lauderbach gives a lecture to his classmates in Ninth Grade history. R. Kosel identifies top U. S. Scientists for K. New' house, D. Wilgard, and I. Bolton.

Mrs. Felter dictates some figures to be tabulated on the adding machine. THROUGH STUDY AND PRACTICE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand arc typical of the skills acquired by girls pursuing a business course. Business law, sales, and general business train- ing provide boys with a broad background of achieve- ment as a springboard to executive successes. Modern equipment which can be easily utilized facilitates learning in commercial classrooms. The faculty makes use of instructive aids such as type- writers, recording machines, and special records. Distributive education students discover a dual opportunity allowing them to gain practical job ex- perience on part-time assignments while completing their high school education and necessary training. Many commercial students find good office jobs available to them upon graduation as a result of the thorough training absorbed in high school. This knowledge prepares them to face the future with certainty. Girls participating in the business course are en- couraged to engage in extra-curricular activities aimed at further development of their skills. Typists assist the publications department in preparation of copy for the printers. Teachers call upon business students for help in duplicating material. Future Business Leaders of America club provides programs of interest to commercial students. V Argo and ]. Artmont explain income tax form to fellow D. E. students. 4 y Miss Capece shows M.

Barcus Academic, commercial, general, and junior high courses were taught by qualified teachers this year. Diversity in approaches to instruction combined with competence netted a high quality of education. Teaching aids whetted the enthusiasm of stu- dents and simplified the tasks of instructors. For example, the language laboratory was utilized for students of Latin, French, and Spanish who made tapes and listened to recordings. Modern laboratory equipment also facilitated the studies of biology, chemistry, and physics pupils. Films operated by members of the audio-visual crew clarified subject material in many classes. Speakers for social security and private insurance plans stated their respective points of view to world affairs classes. Ropes and rings ranked as two of many types of apparatus used in physical education classes. Stoves and kitchen utensils provided an opportunity for practical application of skills in home economics classes. Recordings of play read- ings and folk songs enlivened many English classes. Shining above all tangible aids rose the dedication and skill of individual teachers. Instructors worked to weld the school into a well-balanced unit with high intellectual and personal achievements.

Ankeny Virginia Briner Phyllis App Thomas Brown Mary P. Bailey B. Y. Capece ENCOURAGE OUR ACTIVITIES Distributive education, typing, stenography, con' sumer education, general business training, office training, clerical practice, bookkeeping, sales, busi- ness, law, and commercial mathematics comprised the program of business studies available to the commer- cial students. Modern typewriters and other valuable business aids create a constructive atmosphere for the instruc- tion of Miss Barbara Capece, Miss Mildred Ankeny, and Mrs. Janet Felter. Mr. Edward Kolodgie and Mr. Gerald Donmoyer also enjoy teaching business prac- tices in the four-room business suite. Dashing matadors and olives jump from daydreams to realistic concepts under the imaginative Spanish instruction of Miss Sarah Adams. Togas, legions, eagles, marble structures, and a great civilization are focused by the study of Latin directed by Mrs. Regina Connors. Miss Phyllis App and Miss Susan Jane Foster impress the seriousness of the Algerian problem and the gaiety of grape-crushing Frenchmen upon students of this beautiful language. Language teachers utilize the language labora- tories for record listening and student recordings. This exciting innovation, in teaching procedures facilitate the detection of weak points in learning. Mathematics, a fast-growing and rapidly changing science, ranks as a vital school subject. Mathematics curricula and methods of instruction are constantly evaluated, revised, and improved. Since mathematics is a living, growing subject, methods of instruction must grow also. Teachers concentrate on under- standings, meanings, patterns, and structures instead of mere manipulative skills. Trigonometry, solid geometry, and Algebra II constitute Mr. Howard Freeman's major areas of emphasis. Calculus, analytic geometry, and higher algebra arc introduced by Mr. Freeman to advanced students. Provision of a transitional step from high school to college level mathematics is Mr. Freeman's basic concern. Algebra II is also taught by Mrs. Gayle How in addition to basic mathematics. The job of introducing the concepts of algebra is delegated to Mrs. Pauline Edwards and Mr. Robert Dix, Algebra I instructors. Mr. Dix also covers seventh and eighth grade mathematics. Plane geometry, the study of relationships between geometric figures, is taught by Mrs. Ester Morris. Seventh grade arithmetic, illustrated by Miss Grace Straley, and seventh and eighth grade number facts, projected by Mrs. Helen Morris, prepare students for a leap from junior high to high school mathe- matics. Mr. Anthony Soscia handles ninth and tenth grade general mathematics. Seventh grade science, the basis on which advanced sciences are studied, was effectively taught by Mrs. Gayle How, Mr. John Bell. Mr. Joseph Pitt, and Miss Virginia Lammey. Eighth grade students were intro- duced to elementary biology, chemistry, and physics. Mr. Bell and Mr. Lance Miller were charged with this responsibility. Biology, the study of animal and plant life, was handled by Miss Rosemary Strout and Miss Virginia Lammey. Chemistry was ably taught by Mr. Paul McClure. Twelfth grade students under Mr. Pitt were introduced to physics, the science of motion. Virginia Christ Regina Connors Don Corbin Donald L.

Twenty'nine SHOP CENTERS ON COMPLETION OF PROJECTS The manual arts, woodshop and metalshop open doors to the magic worlds of an enjoyable hobby or a future occupation. As a hobby, handicrafts offer many hours of happy recreation and serve a useful purpose. Wood and metal skills can pave a way to a fascinating career. Boys working in the woodshop or metalshop learn to transfer their ideas to scale plans and finally to finished products. Projects touch upon the possible careers of architecture, engineering, or blueprinting in the mechanical drawing area. Cabinet making, wood turning and finishing may lead to future occu- pations in this field. Machine operators, welders, and jewelery makers were some of the vocations ex- plored in the metal shop area. In order to obtain practical experience, the mechanical drawing room offers simple or complex drawing of projects with pencils, rulers, or erasers. These enthusiastic lads eagerly learn from Mr. Clarence Preitz, Mr. Joseph Pastelak. and Mr. Wil- liam Kabakjian, instructors, in the woodshop, metal- shop, and mechanical drawing room, respectively. George Kates, constructor of a tilt-top table, Jules DeBaecke, designer of a miniature tilt-top, and Bob Wheeler, fashioner of an Irish low boy, comprise the field of hopeful entrants for annual Ford Foundation awards.

Under the auspices of Miss Virginia Briner and Mrs. S. Emily Vincent, the department has flourished. Girls have gained a better knowledge of nutrition and meal planning from the cooking course. They have also absorbed a store of helpful hints that will be beneficial in preparing appetizing meals. The boys, too, have derived great benefits and pleasures from kitchen-fiddling. A male invasion of the kitchen occurred twice weekly when pies, cakes, vegetable platters, and other delicacies were con- cocted. In the sewing section, freshman girls fashioned blouses and juniors stitched shirtwaists. Senior girls learned the various aspects of tailoring as they pains- takingly worked on making suits or sheaths. Child care and interior decoration were initiated into the home economics curriculum this year by Miss Briner and Mrs. Vincent. The energetic stu- dents designed a room from the floor plan up and collected materials and pamphlets for booklets. The planning and preparing of several luncheons has constituted another responsibility of the home economics department. This year the girls studied foreign foods with the seniors preparing an international luncheon. French, Italian, and Chinese cuisine highlighted the menu. Attractive booklets were made representing various countries and were displayed in the showcase. During evaluation. Boys’ Chef Club served a delicious steak dinner to the evaluators and the administration. The entire department worked in- dustrially to prepare the meal, and the boys served the laden plates.

Collins Garnet and gray-clad bandsters lent support to football players and roused the cheering in the stands with their enthusiastic playing. Each half-time found blowers, footers, and tappers entertaining the ob- servers with varied marching techniques. The band’s biggest project during the recent year was their drive to sell Christmas cards. Each member of the band assumed responsibility for a box of cards. The worthwhile project netted large profits. The purpose of the drive was directed at furnish- ing the band members with new uniforms. The band reached its quota and members l x k forward to selecting and donning new uniforms starting with the 1961-1962 season. Representation in state and district bands testified to the band's musical ability. Try-outs led to selection by a panel of musicians. Those selected to attend district band in April were Doug Collins, Karen Myers, Jim Bennett, and Leroy Gordon. “Having been chosen on the basis of rigid auditions, district band members represent the cream of the crop of the high school musicians in southeastern Pennsyl- vania. 1 am happy that four of our students are representing Lansdowne Aldan High School in this impressive assemblage of student musicians, com- mented Mr. Rizzo. High on the list of activities was the annual band, orchestra and tenth grade chorus concert which was held on Friday, April 14.

Hours of work fashioned the show, headed by Mr. Don Corbin and Mr. H. Donn McCaiferty, co- directors, with the help of Mr. Gerald Donmoyer and Senior Judy Esterline. The cast of Judy Skillen, Bill Miller, Ken Goode, Jim Doyle. Rosemary Lyman, Chris Gentile, Don Sinclair, Becky Rum- berger, and Pat Pope was chosen early in the year. Practices were attended on Saturdays and after school. An Amish chorus and chorale ensemble added their voices while ballet and carnival dancers, under the direction of Mrs. Alice Benham, completed the stage setting. The story of Plain and Fancy concerns a young New Yorker and his sophisticated girl friend who drive to Amish country to sell a piece of property he had inherited but has never seen. In this town of Bird-in-Hand they find themselves in a land of quaint customs, stern morals, and Pennsylvania Dutch English. They run across a romance or two among the young generation of Amish and manage to mediate so that everybody is in love with the right party at the end. Eric Roth and the stage crew were in charge of scenery changes. One scene showed the Amish people hard at work preparing for a wedding to the tune of 'Plenty of Pennsylvania. Papa Yoder (B. Miller) flan ed by Amishmen Katie (I. Ski'llen) explains her feelings to B. Oherdorf. C. Gentile, and B. Arms sings Peter (K. Goode) in Young and Foolish. “Plain We Live. PLAIN AND FANCY Dan King (D. Sinclair) and Amishmen L. Stewart and T. Hough attempt to separate the feuding brothers. Amish women under the direction of Isaac (J. Doyle J form a buc et brigade during the fire scene. Ruth (P.

BOWLING CLUB Pin-knocking enthusiasts discovered a healthy method of casting off tensions in a pressure-filled civilization at the Lansdowne Bowling Alley every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Robert Dix, club sponsor, the keglers participated in an intramural program. Three games plus the rental of a bowling ball and a pair of shoes cost the teenage bowler a minimum fee. Although there were no elected offi- cers, each member assumed an active part in main- taining a high spirit of energy and fun. A “200 and a “125” club were established to give potential stars special recognition for rolling good scores. DANCE BAND Saxophones, trumpets, a baritone, and a guitar comprised the rhythm-making Dance Band crew. Through utilization of the music department’s tape recorder a set of numbers were recorded by the band. Evaluation within a framework of constructive criticism resulted from play-backs. Compared to activities of the Dance Band in other years, this year’s group has attained no opportunity to show its talents. Quips Mr. Joseph Rizzo, faculty adviser to Dance Band, “It’s either a feast or famine. Some years we have to turn down requests; other years no one wants us! Dance Band music offers a wide variety of styles and moods in order to please the slow, dreamy dancer as well as the fast-moving cha-cha and mambo enthusiast. JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE Junior Classical League links Lansdowne-Aldan High School to a nationwide network of clubs dedi- cated to encouraging the study of Latin. Under the leadership of Consul Tim Welsh, Pro-consul Nancy Woods, Scriba Suzanne Skillen, and Quaestor Mary Jo Esterline, JCL carried on a diversified program of activities. Highlights included the showing of European travel pictures by Mr. Stanley Kleckncr, assistant principal, and the traditional initiation ceremony staged in February. The club also sponsored a Roman-style Christmas Banquet complete with togas. The movie Spartacus was viewed by the Latin enthusiasts. A discussion of some phase of Roman life, fol- lowed by refreshments, constituted business covered at monthly JCL meetings. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Character, honor, scholarship, and service deter- mined the selection of outstanding juniors and seniors to National Honor Society ranks in March. Heading the National Honor Society was President Linda Kates. Other officers included Bill Miller, vice- president; Marilyn Pyle, secretary, and Joan Gal- lagher, treasurer. Faculty sponsor Mrs. Esther Morris assumed much responsibility. Dramatics instructor Mrs. Virginia Christ helped with plans for the spring installation program. A guest speaker was invited to the installation as- sembly and to the tea following the assembly for the members and their parents. DANCE BAND G. McFJeir, D. Henry, T. Welsh. B. Meneely. S.

These upperclass- men were selected by their respective instructors to aid in the laboratory. Preparing the lab ranked as the main duty of the lab assistant. Aiding confused students in interpre- tation of the mechanics and theory of an experiment constituted a secondary task. Preparing solutions, cleaning special equipment, inspecting student apparatus, issuing new equipment, and maintaining order in the lab in the instructor's absence form part of a lab assistant's routine. New science laboratories installed over the summer increased the responsibilities of this hardy crew. TRI-HI-Y Service functions and extending help to others constituted the activities of Tri-Hi-Y. an affiliated branch of the Lansdowne Community Young Men's Christian Association. Energetic members worked to raise funds for the tuberculosis, polio and Lily Day drives. In addition they collected food and gifts for a needy family at Thanksgiving, as well as con- tributing to the support of a child in a Tennessee orphanage. The decoration of center hall at Thanksgiving and Christmas was another Tri-Hi-Y project. Social functions included a Christmas Pollyanna and the annual Turnabout Dance which sparkled on the night of February 18. To augment their treasury, Tri-Hi-Yers sold mints. Part of the profit from this peddling enterprise was donated to the Y. Tri-Hi-Y delegates were also sent to the Metropolitan Hi-Y-Tri-Hi-Y Council. FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA President — Joan Davis Lending a helping hand to potential white-capped workers, Future Nurses of America focused its em- phasis on insight into facets of the nursing profession. The club, under the direction of Mrs. Joyce Dim- mick, school nurse, sponsored field trips and offered nursing school brochures. Fund raising projects effectuated by the Future Nurses augmented Welfare Drive collections for the Delaware County Home for Crippled Children. The club also worked with the Health Council in posting healthful living hints and reminders in school halls. A rally ranked as a dynamic F.N.A. activity in October. F.N.A. representatives visited monthly open houses and teas organized by nursing schools in the Delaware County area. The information gleaned at these social events was reported to members at weekly meetings. AUDIO-VISUAL CLUB President Kenneth Cassidy and faculty adviser Mr. Paul McClure headed an enthusiastic Audio- Visual Club crew. Wielding responsibility for the functioning of the public address system at dances, assemblies, and sports events, the mechanically-minded team also flashed films from movie projectors and spun rocking discs at record hops. Salaries are allotcd for operation of the movie projector and performance of audio- visual functions at times other than a school day. Audio-Visual Club membership is open to all interested seventh to twelfth grade boys with a scholastic average of “C or better. Responsibility for equipment used by the tinkerers and operators constitutes a part of club membership. Forty-four FRENCH CLUB Row 1: A. Culbertson. P. Pope, K. Reith. K. Myers. J. MacTJamara. .

VARIETY OF INTEREST INCREASES MENTAL GROWTH FOOTBALL CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Raymond Spafford, the Football Club met weekly on Wednesday nights beginning in the latter part of April. The club provided aid for any boy from ninth grade to eleventh grade anticipating playing football the following year. Ninth grade boys were introduced to the plays and situations of playing high school football. Films of previous games and college football films were shown and discussed. Football tactics and plays were reviewed and new ones discussed. From these gatherings the boys learned of their mistakes, helping them to learn of new ideas for the following season. Football enthusiasts will attend football camp in the summer. Money for the camp was raised through open houses during the school year. WOODSHOP CLUB Buzzing saws, pounding hammers, and clanking machinery marked the efforts of male manual stu- dents on Wednesday nights in room 16. Develop- ment of creativity ranked as the goal of the Wood- shop Club. Mr. Clarence Preitz, woodshop instructor, served as faculty adviser. President Bob Corson, Vice- President John Davis, and Treasurer Bob Wheeler handled organizational affairs. The completion of a project begun in woodshop is one benefit of the extra-curricular club. Development of a useful hobby rates as a high in- centive for wood-splitting. The pride and satisfaction of handicraft motivates continued woodworking efforts among members. An annual Christmas party for regular attendants climaxed the year’s sawdust and soda experiences. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA President — Diane Manz Vice-President — Beth Habecker Secretary — Pat Test Treasurer — Nancy Craven Under the guidance and leadership of Mrs. Pauline Edwards, faculty advisor, the Future Teach- ers of America Club engaged in many worthwhile activities. A trip to West Chester College for an F.T.A. conference provided a dynamic, and informa- tive commencement of the year's activities. Club members collected toys for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty- to Children and trans- ported their results to the Philadelphia center at Christmas. Helping and assisting teachers at the Ardmore and Highland Avenue schools served as an integral part of the club program. These experiences enabled the prospective instruc- tors to gain a broader knowledge of the teaching profession. FRENCH CLUB Parlez-vous francais? Those who do were eligible for membership in the French Club. This y-ear the French Club attained a first-hand taste of French culture by viewing Tartuffc, a famous play by Moliere presented by- the Comedie Francaise at the Academy of Music. An enthused representation of the French Club attended the gala event. At a Christmas party French enthusiasts en- joyed the many and varied customs of the season. Plans for the spring included dining at a French restaurant and visiting the Rodin Museum in Phila- delphia. This is the most complete museum in the United States of the works of this great French sculptor. A knowledge of the culture as well as the lan- guage of France ranked as a goal of the French Club. MATH CLUB Elementary computing machines utilizing the bi- nary number system provided the foundation of a project on which industrious potential mathematics majors labored at weekly Monday Math Club meetings. The completing of a probability board helpful in determining some of the theories of chance and probability ranked as the source of another project. The structure of algebra and the different number systems emerged as a lively discussion topic. The area of programming lesson materials in mathematics for use with an elementary teaching machine now under construction resulted in another club discussion. Mr. Howard Freeman, teacher of Algebra II, trigonometry, solid geometry and introductory con- cepts of calculus, analytic geometry, and higher algebra, coordinated the activities of the group. FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA Guest speakers shedding light on opportunities for commercial graduates in various businesses and cor- porations provided meetings of the Future Business Leaders of America with a stimulating note. F.B.L.A. sponsored gala dances and fun-packed skating parties to augment the club treasury. Con- tests and conventions for future business leaders hosted F.B.L.A. competition. President Betty Haynie and faculty adviser Mrs. Janet Felter led the business-headed crew in formu- lating and carrying out activity plans. A bowling party added a variety note to F.B.L.A.'s social activities. A guided tour of the Bell Telephone Company offered a means of acquainting club mem- bers with employment opportunities in communica- tions. A survey of alumni employment was undertaken by the club in an attempt to gain insight into available post-graduation openings.

Scott «muses foreign exchange student, S, Mondini. with an American joke. Guided by Mr. Lawrence Richards, class adviser, the class of ’61 stepped forth to meet the challenge of being seniors. Class activities included selling Christmas candy and sponsoring the Christmas Dance. Under the direction of Gerry Marks the class utilized Christmas candy profits to help increase their monetary assets. Dennis Zimmerman, vice-president, Joe Jackson, treasurer, Ruth Ross, recording secretary, and Margo List, corresponding secretary, aided Tom Maher, class president, in the preparation of the Christmas Dance. Titled the Snow-Ball, music-sliding emerged as the highlight of the Christmas holidays for stu- dents and alumni. Trips to New York City and Washington. D. C., in the early spring provided group fun and travel. Mr. Richards D. Short looks for a book in the B. Barfod. Harvest Moon Stteen library. Postponed from early winter, the New York trip appeared doubly delightful in the spring. Students visited the United Nations and enjoyed a sightseeing boatride. A movie and stage show at Radio City Music Hall concluded the day’s agenda. Washington, D. C., entertained the seniors for two days. Well-planned sightseeing in the Washing- ton area and partying at the seniors' hotel contrib- uted to the trip's success. For the first time seniors this year were granted some free time which they could fill with their choice of activities. Offered choices included a swimming party and a trip to an amusement park. In classes seniors explored the workings of the United Nations and the works of William Shake- speare. Preparation for college and college acceptance weighed heavily on the minds of some seniors, while others prepared to face the business world. College boards and job placement tests were a major topic of senior conversations as the end of the year drew near. The senior class remained the backbone of the Student Council. Ably directed by President Dick Spencer, the Council planned the Harvest Moon Ball where lovely senior Barbara Barfod was crowned queen. Her court included Linda Kates, Diane Manz, Joan Gallagher, and American Field Service student Silvana Mondini. In addition the Student Council supervised the management of the school store and organized a program of hall monitors. The sch xil year reached its peak for seniors during the weeks of the senior prom and commencement. At the prom seniors and their dates whirled dreamily to the music of AI Raymond in the ballroom of the Drake Hotel. Later they wended their way to the Alpine Inn where the Afterglow party swept them to the wee hours of the morning. Commencement night brought seniors to the end of their high school career and to the thrcshhold of adult responsibilities and problems. Commencement was held in the new gymnasium instead of the audi- torium to provide more room and comfort for the large class of '61. Dr. Althea Hottel, former Dean of Women at the University of Pennsylvania and United States representative to the Social Commis- sion of the United Nations, directed some inspira- tional remarks to the graduates.

Later, they had the opportunity to become better acquainted with the teachers during back'tO' school night. In a year's time the junior high pioneers learned to adjust themselves to the exciting whirl of activities and at the same time realized the responsibilities they must accept as maturing young men and women.

The story of how Bob overcame his sight handicap set an example constituting one of the forces behind the team's driving will to win. Bob's achievement was recognized by others, and he re- ceived the Delaware County Coaches Association's “Most Courageous Athlete award. Much of the credit for the team's performance goes to Coach Ray Spafford and his assistants, Anthony Soscia and Don Cornman.

Although stalwart Lou Padula was handicapped by a leg injury, the varsity roundballers displayed the true meaning of hustle and compiled a com' mcndablc nine'eight overall record. Radcliffe's charges tied Nether Providence for third place in Section III with a seven'five league mark. Senior guard Tom Maxwell copped third place in the Section III scoring derby with 265 points. Jack MacMullan, second high scorer, John Wentzel, best foul shooter, and Ron Miller, high rebound man, were other prominent seniors on the quintet. Juniors A1 Parsons and Tom Loomis also sparked the team with some nifty shooting. Tom Maxwell was named by the T ews of Deld' ware County to the First Team of their All East Dclco Basketball Squad and also garnered the Most Valuable Play award.

Husky Matmen Pin Opponents Down To Achieve a Series of Successes The matmen started off the ’61 season with a slow start. Snapping back strongly, the squad won four straight matches. Throughout the season the team was sparked by various enthusiastic wrestlers. Dick Kinncar, Larry Van Wyk, Pete DiDinato, Tom Speers, Paul Baschore and John Florence served as the nucleus of the crew. Although the junior varsity team managed to win five and lose three, the team racked up a good serv- ice record. Coach Soscia expects these boys to fill in the positions held by varsity matmen. The valuable graduating seniors are Paul Base- horc, Ed Langley, Bob McDougall and Dennis Zimmerman. The boys placed second in the league. A few of the outstanding wrestlers in past season tourneys and sectional champs are Dick Kinncar (112 lbs.), Larry Van Wyk (123 lbs.), and Paul Basehore (heavyweight). Without Coach Soscia’s fine handling one team member, Larry Van Wyk, would have been unable to place in the regional, district, and state finals. Larry lost by a slim margin in the state contest.

Kreuger, second base pitcher Eight returning letterwinners sparked hopes of a bright season for the varsity “Garnet Stockings. As a result of a two year building program, the Lansdowne-Aldan diamond boasted an experienced team who were expected to do well. Coach Don Corman and Captain Jack MacMullan anticipated a much improved showing over last year's four- twelve record. Seniors Tom Maher, Buddy Mauger, Phil Arbolino, Bob Hunter, and Jack MacMullan plus juniors Pete DiDonato, Dave Thomas and Glenn Robinson composed the brigade of letter- winners returning to the diamond. Jack MacMullan ranked as the diamondeers' chief pitching threat. Glenn Robinson, Paul Kreuger, and Bill Nock completed the mound corps while Phil Arbolino and King Perry were behind the plate. MacMullan also played first base while Buddy Mauger handled all the action at second base. Tom Maher held down the short stop position. They com- prised a skilled, experienced infield which oppo- nents' balls had a difficult time overcoming. Pete DiDonato supervised the hot spot. Dave Thomas and Tom Loomis nailed down two of the pasture posts while Werner Meier and Joe Austin alternated at the third outfield spot. A strong and powerful line-up contributed many runs during the season while the pitchers allowed few hits to the opposing batters. P. DiDonato. catcher T.

'Hinety'six L-A NETMEN POST IMPROVED RECORD The coming of spring wrought life on chalk-lined tennis courts. Daily, Mr. Gerald Donmoyer and his team headed toward the nets for a day of tough practice. Bill Miller and Dick Spencer piloted the netters as co-captains. 1961 constituted their fourth year as varsity players. Although many novices brightened the team, the nucleus of the matchmen were seniors. The racke- teers were supported by fifty percent returnees from last spring. The league was divided into two sections, enabling the boys to compete with teams of equal size. This provided teams with improved winning chances. Mr. Donmoyer hoped that experience would lead the servers to victory over Harriton, a difficult match. Bill Miller captured top position for the third year, while Dick Spencer copped second for his third year also. Gary Schooner and Doug Collins grabbed third and fourth positions, respectively. Completing the varsity line-up at first doubles were Dwight Evans and Roger Scott. Ed Lennig and Phil Graitcer took on all comers from the second doubles position. After bowing to such perennial tennis power- houses and larger schools as Lower Mcrion, Upper Darby and Haverford early in the season, the net- men rebounded to decision Marple-Newtown, Springfield, and Penncrest in succession. The boys looked forward to the annual match with the girls’ tennis team at the end of the season to determine once and for all which of the two teams was superior.

Ably led by co-captains Ann Louise Smith and Joan Gallagher, the varsity hockey team racked up six wins, one loss, and one tic. The stickstcrs fell to an old rival, Springfield, in their only setback. Center forward Tangie Terrel was high scorer as the Lassies successfully fired 32 goals into the nets of their opponents. In comparison, only seven tallies were scored against goalies Jean Luisi and Mary Ann Kiedaisch. Left halfback Ann Louise Smith and left inner Joan Gallagher received the Most Valuable Player Awards. Showing spirit and talent, the Jay-Vces won five, lost one, and tied one in an exceptional season. JUNIOR HIGH HOCKEY TEAM Row I: E. White. S. Bartlett. H. Simon. K. Segda. D. Myers. S. BuIIen. E.

SOFTBALL AND TENNIS CLAIM ATTENTION With training and practice, the 1961 Lassies’ tennis team should give a good account of itself,” commented Coach Mrs. Pauline Edwards before the season's opening. The returning power of varsity letterwinners Estelle White and E)iane Wilgard plus the potential of Seniors Regina Luisi Kathy Fowler, Pat Bailey, Harriet Dubson, and Karen Ncwhousc resulted in an action-packed season. After starting their eight game season with three difficult non-league games, the Lassies faced a difficult match with Springfield in May. Under the able assistance of Coach Pauline Edwards this years girls’ tennis squad completed a successful season. Racket swingers were observed working diligently at their forehand swipes and backhand jabs nearly every afternoon on the sun-splashed courts. To earn their places on the ladder, the girls staged challenge matches among themselves. These matches continued after the formal season was initiated. The final varsity squad was comprised of Diane Wilgard, first singles; Estelle White, second singles; Kathy Fowler, third singles; Regina Luisi and Karen Ncwhousc, first doubles, and Tina Hood and Pat Bailey, second doubles.
