“GROWING PAINS” O N DECEMBER 13 , Marple-Newtown High School presented its annual play. This year’s choice was that ever-popular comedy of adolescence, “Growing Pains.’’ Its success was due largely to its excellent direction by Mr. Frederick Brown and Miss Helen Yeingst who selected a cast capable of undertaking their parts and to the scenery which was made under the direc- tion of Miss Georgidare Pierce. Those Seniors in the cast were Josephine Klodarska, Kenneth Burgess, Mildred Young, Priscilla Reedy, Dorothy Ewing, Betty Campbell, Mildred Simpson, Anna Ford, Marcia Smith, Richard Marston, Arthur Brown, and Harry O’Neill. The Juniors contributed a sizable amount of talent through the efforts of Jane Hoskins and Scott Worrall in the leading roles, and Con- stance Bierck, Horace Hoskins, Wilbur McLaughlin, and Alfred Rich. “CHONITA” 4 T he choice for the spring presentation this year was “Chonlta,’’ a gypsy operetta with melodies by Liszt. It proved to be an example of what can be done with all-around cooperation. Miss Clayton, our Music Supervisor, was in charge of the production. Miss Yeingst and Mr. Brown took charge of the speaking parts. Miss Pierce and Niv. Raymond Ortlip, the scenery and lighting, and Allss Kelly and Miss Sheldon, the dancing. The leading roles w ' ere played by Constance Bierck, Kenneth Burgess, Harry O’Neill, Marjorie Burgess, Wilbur McLaughlin, Arthur Brown, Mildred Young, Joseph Reed, and Robert Maule. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL T he girls’ basketball team showed a great fighting spirit this year, when at the end of the season, the scores showed, in our favor, nine victories 111 ten games. The teams we defeated were Yeadon, West Conshohocken, Clifton, Sharon Hill, Downlngtown, and Springfield; the only team to defeat us was Berwyn. Among the girls who will graduate in June, are: our centers, Jeanette Wallace and Anna Ford; guards, Betty Campbell and Dorothea Martin; and forwards, Dorothy Ewing and Mildred Simpson. We can look forward to another year i of victories as these able players still remain from the squad: Jane Hoskins, I Carol Turnbaugh, Claire Miller, and Dorothy Kondas. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Lyster for her patience and help during this successful season, and we wish next year’s team all success and hope another victorious year to old M.-N. m they bring Page Eighteen

FOOTBALL npiiE season of ’35 brought football back to its feet at Marple-Newtown. Out of a schedule of nine games, three were victories. Of the other six, four were lost by a small margin. These games were lost in the last half after a stubborn stand in the opening period. The most welcomed victory was over Swarthmore. This was the first time in M.-N.’s history that our team beat them. The lettermen of this season were: Brown and Rowland (co-captains), Sturm, Reed, Burgess, H. O’Neill, W. O’Neill, Landrum, Smoyer, McLaugh- lin, Hancock, Parker, MacIntyre, VVurster, Dierklng, and O’Donnell, who was elected captain of next season’s squad. BOYS BASKETBALL M ARPLE-NEVVTOWN’S entrance into the Suburban League made this season one of the most interesting in years. The outstanding game was played with Clifton and proved to be a victory because of the indomitable spirit of a successful team. Lyle Hill, our brilliant Sophomore center, scored 130 points during the season. Arthur Brown, Edgar Bonsall, Kenneth Burgess, Harry O’Neill, and Bill Landrum, members of the 1936 squad will leave M.-N. in June, but Coach Harvey is looking forward to a well-developed team next season. This squad will be composed of Elmer Hancock, ’38; Ralph List, ’37; Wilbur McLaughlin, ’37; Horace Hoskins, ’37; and Lyle Hill, ’38. BASEBALL C CJACH HARVEY has again put a baseball team on the held which is made up of boys of more than fair caliber. This year’s nine has had a good record so far, winning two out of our first four games. Only two of our last year’s regulars have graduated and these positions were capably filled by M. Bascone and A. iManlgault, who, although they lack experience, have performed exceptionally well around the keystone sack. This year’s team is composed of Rowland, Hill, McLaughlin, Kirk, Bascone, Manigault, Kelly, Bonsall, and Brown, the latter three Seniors. Mr. Harvey has very good material to take the place of our Seniors and looks forward to a very successful year in ’37. 0 Page Twenty
