PRESENTED BY JOAN DOUGLAS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF JOSEPH REED BUSINESS MANAGER PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LARCHMONT PENNSYLVANIA PRESENTED BY JOAN DOUGLAS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF JOSEPH REED BUSINESS MANAGER FOREWORD O NCE again another class has graduated, but with that gradua- tion will the memories of our four gears at Marple-N ewtown High School fade or remain with us? It is with that thought in mind that we are issuing “Memories of 1958.” To the friends and adver- tisers who have helped us keep our cherished thoughts and happy associations intact, we give our everlasting thanks.

These still remain: — Reigner. 1938 MEMORIES The oi lo work, that sense of pride In humble of toil ha seeks lo guide 1 he steps of i outh heir place to find In useful service lo mankind. — Reigner. 1 Y ou are now on the eve of completing a twelve years’ journey th rough school, the main objective of which has been to learn how to serve. This is a difficult lesson for some to master. Many persons have a well-developed instinct of self-preservation which tends to influence them to get all they can for themselves and promotes selfishness. T he fact is that this type of person thinks that learning to serve means learning to serve oneself. This is a very poor ideal. The better point of view shows us that service to others is the perfect ideal. Although at first glance it may seem curious, it is a fact that in the long run this type of service will pay the doer far larger dividends. Think back through your school days and you will be impressed with the fact that the members of your class who have gained the greatest amount of your respect and affection are those who have done most for others and the least for themselves. As your career lengthens out into the future you will discover that this fact will apply just as truly to your after-school life. Go forth from the Marple-lNewtown High School, then, deter- mined to serve, but primarily to serve others, and a greater amount of success, material, moral and spiritual, will be yours. Your sincere friend. Jay W. Worrall, Supervising Principal. 10 FACULTY FREDERICK W. BROWN Science ami History JANE V. DAVIS Domestic Science HELEN E. DECKER Language amt History DOROTHY M.

COMMERCIAL Ambition : Stenographer. Motto: “We pass tor what we are.” Claire is undoubtedly among the most modern girls of the class. Her poise, humor, and manner of dress give her an attrac- tive personality. She is always “up” on all the modern dances and is known to be quite giddy at times. She must have a lot of boyfriends at home about whom we have never heard. Her “come-hither” smile makes her so well liked that she will surely make a charming secretary to someone. Year Book Staff, ’58; Basketball, ' 34. WILLIAM CLEMENTS August 20, 1919 BILL Charlottesville, Va. GENERAL Ambition: Pharmacist. Motto: “Live and learn to serve.” Is it “Bilks” Southern drawl or his ability to slay them that makes him so popular with the women? His popularity with the women is not his only asset, however, for his good humor has made him popular with all his classmates, and his all -’round ath- letic ability has brought us many victories.

She reminds us of “Elmer, the door-to-door salesman.” Whenever there are tickets to sell or donations to be collected, Marie takes the cake. “Dilly is characterized by her attitude of a go-getter. If she carries this into the future, there is nothing but success before her.

Joan, our efficient Editor-in-Chief, came to us from Barnegat last year. Since then she has done very much to help our class. As a basketball player and trackman she is unexcelled.

Though Norma is the baby of the class she lacks nothing ol wit, humor, or personality. 1 his small child s burning ambition is to sign her name at the bottom of an article in one ol our lead- ing newspapers. Here’s luck to you, Norma, and we know you II make the grade— if Hollywood doesn’t get hold ol you first lor vour clever imitations ol Garbo and Martha Raye.

GUSTAVS August 23, 1919 Gussie West Philadelphia, Pa. GENERAL Ambition: Secretary in a dancing studio. Motto: “The sooner the start, the quicker the finish. “Gussie” is the terpsichorean artist ol the Senior Class. She is responsible lor teaching us how to do the “Big Apple.’ Gus- sie” devotes every Tuesday and Saturday, night to her dancing, but she still finds time to be an honor roll student. We sincerely wish her luck in her chosen profession, and we know she will truck” her way to success.

ELMER RANCK HANCOCK August 8, 1920 Pittsburgh, Pa. ACADEMIC Ambition: Civil Engineer. Motto: “If you can’t take pari in a sport, well, be one anyway.” Elmer, one of the most active members of the class, is one of our two academic students. He has taken part in all athletics during his four years ol high school. We re certain that such an all-’round training should prove an asset to him in college circles.

FRANCES HARTIN July 12, 1920 Fran Edgemont, Pa. commercial Ambition: Interior Decorator. Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Although “Fran” took the Commercial Course in high school, we think that her ability lies elsewhere. Whether or not she will become an Interior Decorator or make Home Economics her vo- cation, it is not for us to say; but we feel sure that she will make a success ol anything she undertakes.

LYLE H. HILL Hill GENERAL Ambition: Accountant. Motto: “Live, love, and learn.” Lyle, the best all-’round athlete of the class, has not only won the admiration of all athletic-minded people but also of his class- mates. Our class would have been greatly handicapped had it not been for his helpful suggestions and willingness to do things. We know his friendly feeling toward everyone will win him many friends in the future. ’? 4 ’ ’ 35 Letterman, ' 36, ’57; Basketball Letterman, db, 5 , 08 , Captain, 5 , 08 ; Baseball Letterman, ’ 35 , ' 56, • 7 , 58; All-Suburban Center, ’38; Class President, ’ 35 ; Junior Guard of Honor, ’37; President Athletic Council, ’38; Winner Color Day, ' 37; Year Book Staff, ' 38. DOROTHY LEE KONDAS July 9, 1920 Us ue Philadelphia, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition: Hairdresser. Motto: “Self-confidence is the keynote to success.” Here is one person who believes in variety. If variety is the spice of life, “Dot” should travel far in this world. (Marriage doesn’t count!) They say good things come in pairs so when you see “Lover,” “Dot” is around somewhere. As a basketball guard she’s among the best. _ Operetta, 36, 3 , 58; Chorus, 06, o7, ’58; Orchestra, 53, ’24, ' 35, ’36, ’57, ’38; Orchestra Committee, ' 38; Solo Violinist, 27, 58; Declamation Contest, 3 ; Perfect Attendance, 7 years; Lions Essay Award, ' 37; Lions Garden Club Award, ' 37 ; Ju- nior Guard of Honor, ' 37; Basketball, ' 56, ’37, ’38; Letter Award, 56, 38; Track, 35, 36, 5 , 58; Glee Club, ' 38; Cheerleader ' 37, ' 38; Year Book Staff, ’38; Gold Typing Award, ' 38. MARY ELIZABETH LONG December 31, 1919 Longie Newtown Square, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition: Hairdresser. Motto: To make friends, be one.” Mary is one of the most pleasant girls in the Senior Class. She always has a ready smile and something interesting to tell every- one. Mary’s motto holds true as she certainly is a friend to all. Mary wants to be a hairdresser, so we hope she gives a lot of marcels and finger-waves. Here’s luck to you, Mary. Perfect Attendance, ’37; Track, ’57. MARGUERITE E. MACINTYRE September 24, 1919 Peggy Philadelphia, Pa. GENERAL Ambition: Pianist in a Swing Band. Motto: “Each time in life comes but once.” Even though “Peggy” despises experimenting in the Chemistry lab, she is really an expert when it comes to experimenting with “Peoples’ ” heart. Her ability for tunefully tickling the piano keys will help her achieve her ambition unless she decides to say, “I do” instead. However, we wish her the greatest success in whatever profession she may follow.

COMMERCIAL Ambition: Private Secretary. „ Motto: Have few lriends, but have those lew well-chosen. Dorothy’s charming personality and pleasant disposition have won her many lriends during her lour years in high school. As our secretary, she has taken care ol class alfairs quite capably. Dorothy’s accomplishments in the Commercial Course have shown us that she will surely succeed in the business world. She doesn’t care much for the boys, but that doesn t prevent them from dating her. Marple-Newtown will certainly miss her.

ESTHER BR INTON MILLS December 25, 1919 Lady Philadelphia, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition: Social Secretary. Motto: “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp or what s a heaven for?” Esther is one of the smallest girls in the Senior Class and also one of the peppiest. Her intelligence to do anything and take part in everything makes her very popular with us and a loyal M-N’er. Her constant chirping about Dicky’ only adds to her charm.

Edie” has been one of the best and most willing workers in our class. Her attractive personality has made her tops with everyone, especially ' a certain person with whom she is otten see riding m a Plymouth.

Motto: “The man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.” On the morning ol July 4, 1920, a blushing, bareloot boy was born to the Niemeyer household. He decided to educate himself at Marple-Newtown, changed his mind and entered Upper Darby , but couldn’t resist the temptation, and came back to good old M.-N. to get his sheepskin. Nie” has become a popular member ol the Senior Class and has taken part in many of our activities. We wish him all the success in the world in his construction career.

GENERAL Ambition: Accountant. Motto: “Never turn back.” One can always see George, accompanied by a fair Sophomore, arriving at school each morning at one minute to nine. Despite his tardiness, as the big business man of our class he has kept our candy sales well above the average for the last two years. George s friendly kidding and witty remarks make everyone feel at ease when he’s around. We all know his splendid book- keeping ability will be a great asset in his future work.

As a chemist, “Fred,’’ you ought to go a long way ' ; that is, if you are caretul and don’t mix up too many unknown things. “Fred” comes out for every sport trying to do his share for old M.-N., and as you all know, he does pretty well. , Football, ’35, ’36, ’37; Basketball, ' 35, ' 37, ' 38; Baseball, ’37, 38; Basketball Manager, ’56; Play , ’36, ’37; Operetta, ’36, ’37, 38; Declamation Contest, ' 35; Decorating Committee, ' 38; Orchestra, ’35, ’36, ’37; Bank, ' 37; Associate Editor of Alar- News, ' 38; Year Book Staff, ' 38.

EDITH V. SAVIDGE May 18, 1920 Lover Broomall, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition : Private Secretary. Motto: “Strive, for at the gates of labor lies success.” “Lover” has always rated in her studies, for when she looks up to the teachers with her big blue ey ' es, they ' can’t help but mark her high. In spite of being the baby of the class, she has alway ' s worked hard and never fails to lend a helping hand to a friend. She will make an ideal secretary for some lonely ' young bachelor if her shy, demure manner doesn’t win his heart first.

GENERAL Ambition: Clerk. Motto: Silence reigns supreme.” Ralph came to us in his junior year from Berwyn. Because ot his quiet, shy ways, very few of us know him very well. He has been an asset on ' the basketball court, on the baseball diamond, and to the class because ol his willingness to do anything he can.

November 9, 1919 Jess Newtown Square, Pa. GENERAL Ambition: Architect. Motto: Good, better, best, never take a rest till your good is better and your better best.” Well might we say this ol Jesse, for lie has given us accurate reports ot the conditions of class linances at our class meetings. He kept our accounts so perfectly balanced that we knew how near we were to Washington. This short, curly-head boy has a host of friends and is adding new ones to his list. Jesse has been a great help to the Seniors by taking care ol the decorations tor our dances.

COMMERCIAL Ambition: Private Secretary. Motto: Nothing is good enough that can be bettered.” The statement, What’s one man’s loss is another man’s gain,” is certainly exemplified in Margaret who came to us from Over- brook High. II her shorthand and typing ability and her high scholastic rating are a pre-view of her success in the business world we have nothing to predict but success for her.

Motto: Overcome obstacles.” “Is that all. Madam?” is often heard at the local A and P store as less tries his super-salesmanship. A willing worker who stn es to do his best is our lood clerk. Jess 7 ' is quick-witted and will laugh at any good humorous si uation. “Jess,” we pre- dict, will be manager of the A and P at an early date (1950) if the girls don’t get him first.

Characters: T wo graduates of Marple-Newtown, Class ol 1938. I he scene is laid on a cold January evening when there is nothing so good as a warm chair by a cozy fireside. The first graduate sits meditating and gazing abstractedly into the blue flames. Enter second graduate: The two sit and exchange news of their old classmates. The following are choice bits Irom their conversation: Mrs. Peoples’ twins, Peggy and Charles, Jr., are taking dancing lessons at Anna Gustavs’ studio. Esther Mills has been signed up at the M. G. M. Studio on a long term contract, and being up to her old tricks, has her eye on the boss, Bill Clements. Frances Hartin, the red-hot blues singer, has taken Broadway by storm. The little boy who dazzled the others in chemistry class, and is known in the chemistry world as Dr. Pressey, has just invented that new “Come hither soap.” Spending the winter in Miami is our Secretary of the Treasury, Jesse Trost. Miss Mary Long has just received the Academy Award for this year’s best hair style in Hollywood. That “Advice to the Lovelorn’’ column, which has become so popular lately, has been found to be written by Margaret Wiggins. Pep Taylor, our old heart-breaker, has left all the girls and has gone to fight forest fires. Dorothy Matlack is seriously thinking of becoming more than a secretary to Senator Reed. The papers have announced that Joan Douglas has been appointed Superin- tendent of Nurses in a New York hospital; and on the society page, that Miss Dorothy Kondas is entertaining the young debutante, Edith Savidge, at her home on Park Avenue. Turning to the sports page we find that Ralph Talbot has just returned in time to begin spring training with the A’s. Harold Niemeyer is offering his services through the “Want Ad Sections’’ of the Daily Blab. Lyle Hill is advertising for a trailer to take him from coast to coast. Mme. Neal has opened a select dress shop at Fourth and South Streets Elmer Hancock is on the debating team at Grumpy College. After years of hard work Jesse Wilds has been appointed Manager of the A and P Store at Newtown Square. George Parker has taken over the Fuz Candy Company. We hear that Marie Dilworth has been hired by the Class of ’48 to sell tickets for their Chicken Supper. Sad to say, but nevertheless true, Claire Brogan was removed to an asylum where Norma Griffin, our screen comic, can no longer harm her with those imitations. 26 ACTIVITIE “THE YOUNGEST” T HE YOUNGEST ’ a comedy in three acts, was presented by the High School, December 3, 1937. “The Youngest’’ was a very human and appealing comedy of con- temporary American life in which the hero, Richard Winslow, (Robert Doughten) a downtrodden son, came into contact with a charming busy- body, Nancy Blake (Esther Mills). The Youngest, with the help of Mrs. Winslow, (DeLoris Brewer) Martha Winslow (Marjorie Burgess), and Alan Martin (Fred Pressey), eventually learned to assert himself and turned upon his oppressors, Oliver Winslow (Edmund Broadbelt), Mark Winslow (James Toms), and Augusta Winslow Martin (Dorothy Matlack), in splen- did style. The cast and the Senior Class extend their gratitude to Mr. Brown, Miss Yeingst, Mr. German, and Mr. Potter for their efforts in making this production a success. 28 “AN OLD-FASHIONED CHARM” T HE Marple-Newtown High School presented An Old-Fashioned Charm,” a musical comedy in two acts by Juanita Austin and Clar- ence Kohlmann, on the evenings of April 22 and 23 in the auditor- ium. Lois Williams (Louise Collier) and Hiram MacDuffle (Bert DiBona- ventura) were secretly engaged until Lois’ best friend, Millie Foster, (Mar- jorie Burgess) turned matchmaker and broke the engagement of Lois and Hiram and announced to her gang that Lois and Leonard Darcy (James Toms) were engaged. A Spanish dancer, Carmelita (Eleanor Hunter), fell for his line and so did Bunny Brown (Esther Mills), who lapsed easily into baby talk.” Leonard’s servant, Manly (Edmund Broadbelt), added humor to several situations. Special features included: military, fast tap, big apple, comic, musical comedy, toe and golf dances, and numbers by the quartette and boys’ chorus. Due to the earnest efforts and the excellent ability of Mrs. Weakley and Mr. Brown, the operetta proved to be very successful. 29 Top Row: M. McLaughlin, K.

The following are the members of the council: Senior Class: Lyle Hill, President; Dorothy Matlack, Secretary; Jo- seph Reed. Alternates: William Clements, Frances Hartin, Elmer Hancock. Junior Class: James Toms, Vice-President; Margaret McLaughlin. Alternate: Mary Semerjian. Sophomore Class: James Dilworth, Treasurer. Alternate: William Cul- bertson. Freshman Class: Katherine Kirk. Alternate: Miriam Burgess. Eighth Grade: Warren Dodson. Seventh Grade: Jean Loomis. Alternate: Mary Capper. 30 CHEERLEADERS T HIS year’s cheerleading has teen so successful that we ieel it has become part of our athletics. Four of the regular cheerleaders were stricken with appendicitis about the middle of January, thus giving room for our faithful alternates, who fell in line and cheered our team to victory several times. Even though we lose two of our best cheerleaders by graduation, we (eel that our squad of cheerleaders will cheer next year’s teams to greater suc- cess anil will produce in us a better quality of sportsmanship. The cheerleaders this year included Dorothy Kondas, Peggy MacIn- tyre, Marjorie Burgess. Margaret McLaughlin, Ann Crowley, Miriam Bur- gess, and James Dilworth. I he alternates were Norma Griffin, Esther Mills, and Eleanor Gorman. 31 ENIQR DESIRED DESIGNATION MOMENTARY GRUMBLINGS CURRENT CROONINGS Claire Brogan Listen, Hon — ’’ Sweet Someone” William Clements How about a date?’’ Ten Pretty Girls” Marie Dilworth Phoo ey!J4J£ $” ‘Have You Got Any Money?” Joan Douglas “I’m not in the mood’’ A Little Bit Independent” Norma Griffin Oh boy!

Although we were behind by a few touchdowns several times, the games were quite suc- cessful from a moral viewpoint. Under the reliable coaching of Mr. Harvey and Mr. Raffensperger, the boys showed figthing spirit not to be surpassed by any school. Because of the scarcity of able substitutes, the regular boys, tired with fatigue, would see victory snatched from their grasp in the fading minutes of play, by fresh and strong opponents. Many happy memories still linger in the minds of many how the boys battled a strong and powerful Swarthmore eleven to a scoreless tie for three quarters of the game, but then in the last few minutes, went down gamely to defeat by the score of 7 to 0. Then again in the following game we battled an even stronger Glen- Nor team up and down the gridiron and emerged being defeated by the score of 6 to 0. M.-N., in her Turkey Day event, completely overpowered a strong Springfield team for three quarters, but was unable to score more than one touchdown due to the poor footing on the muddy field. She was not to be crushed in her final game and held her colors high and concluded the season with a 6-6 tie. Yes, these are never-to-be forgotten M.-N. football memories with her two victories, two ties, and only four defeats. X ruly it was the best team in the small school s history. We are looking forward to another successiul season with Ed Wilson as captain of the team. OPPONENTS VARS. OPP. OPPONENTS VARS.

O’NEILL, fast develop- ing into one of Marple-Newtown’s best all-time guards, is excellent at piling up power plays through the line. WILLIAM CLEMENTS, very accurate as a center, was extraordinary when it came to knocking down visitors ' passes. UMBERTO DiBONAVENTURA played steadily throughout the entire season. Cooperation was the keynote to Bert’s success. ELMER HANCOCK, who played backfield two years and line one, could always find a hole in the opponent’s line for needed yardage. BYRON BROWN, playing back, was particularly speedy for a big man. There will be plenty to be written later about “Brownie.” FOOTBALL JOSEPH REED, as Captain, was the only football four-letterman on the team. He was versatile and fast w ith uncanny ability at sifting” through interference. DAVID NEFF is a very efficient tackle. He runs interference well and can diagnose opposition plays nicely. VERNON STURM is shifty and a good open field runner. He is also good at throwing and receiving passes. FRED PRESSEY could play any 1 ine position. He improved as a senior and became a good defensive player. ROBERT MAULE was out standing for a firsUyear man. Fie was a willing worker and added much to the team play of the line. EDWARD WILSON, Cap tain-elect, is fast and rough with real competitive spirit. He paired with Reed at end, but he may be shifted to back field next year. BOYS’ BASKETBALL LETTERMEN {Coach’s opinion ) UMBERTO Di BONA VEN- TURA, a steady all-around player, made a fine showing for his first year on the varsity team. WILLIAM CLEMENTS, an excellent floor man and team player, could score many points but played defensively most of the time. EDWARD WILSON jumped into varsity line-up with very little experience on Javees. He was always good for a few field goals. JOSEPH REED played well at the beginning of the season, but became ill in mid-season. Joe was always in there fighting. ELMER HANCOCK was our heavy scoring guard with particular abil- ity at shooting from difficult angles. We hope to hear more from Elmer at college. LYLE HILL, as Captain, was brilliant on both defense and offense. Where will Coach Harvey ever find another Hill? [Coach’s opinion) DOROTHY KONDAS, through speed and quick thinking, broke up many well-organized plays and carefully aimed shots. As our star forward, MARY WENGER displayed much grace on the floor, and her beautifully arched shots brought us many victories. ALICE WILDS, one of this year ' s “finds ’ successfully played in the position of guard and forward. LINDA JONES, although a small guard, ran her op- ponents ragged on the floor. Her eyes, always alert, never lost sight of the ball. JOAN DOUGLAS, as our dependable cap- tain, spurred her team on to action, and by many of her well-placed one-hand shots, proved her own mettle. 1. Hold everything! 2. Get off! 3. “Oops.” 4.
