MARPLE-NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL NEWTOWN SQUARE, PENNSYLVANIA MEMORI Editor-in-Chief Anna E. Ivins Associate Editor Charles Schnerr Business Manager . . . . F. William Warner J 3 Marple-Newtown Hign j ooi Newtown Square, Penna. T dedication To you young men and women of our class who have entered our country ' s service or who will have entered its service before the end of hostilities, we offer this slight tribute — the dedi- cation of this book. Slight tribute, yes, when compared with that higher honor of serving your country in her hour of greatest need and peril! You are following in the footsteps of other brave men who have sacrificed their all in the performance of duty, who have left families and friends to offer their full measure of devotion that the proposition, That all men are created equal, may be a reality and not a page of United States history to the crushed peoples of conquered Europe and Asia. l earL oo k Staff Editor Anna Ivins Associate Editor Charles Schnerr Business Manager William Warner Assistant Business Managers — Elaine Patton, Harold Peirce, Nancy Rinehart, George Williams, Joseph Peters, Ethel Thomas Art Editors — Doris Stowers, Lester Downs Make-Up Editors — Margaret Harris, Emilie Stott, Gloria Gorsuch, Ruth Stone Photographers — Lorraine Turner, William English Five orewoPi j Before we leave Marple-Newtown and join the ranks of alumni, we, the class of 1944, pre- sent this book of Memories. In this book you will find a record of our high school life, four years of studies, athletics, dances, hard work, and fun. In keeping with our theme, Prospects of Peace, we have endeavored to show the train- ing provided for us that prepares us for later life — whether it be a time of war or a time of peace. After graduation, practically all the fellows in our class will be serving our country in one branch of the service or another. The immediate future may not be too bright, but with the back- ground and training provided us, we, as all high school graduates, have the qualifications to help speed this war to a quick, victorious conclusion and make a better after-world. In this book, then, you will find the story of our school life — truly a book of happy memories. TO THE CLASS OF 1944; At the present time there can be seen in the newspapers and magazines a mounting list of educational opportunities that are being prepared for the benefit of the boys when they come out of the armed service. The expense of these educational advantages will be met by the national gov- ernment. The lesson to be learned from this vast preparation for continuing the interrupted schooling of our young soldiers is perfectly obvious. After the war we shall be confronted by a world filled with a great amount of competition and the rewards will go to the best prepared. The authorities at Washington know this and they are trying to see that several millions of young Americans will have the opportunity, if they care to avail them- selves of it, of preparing themselves to meet these changed conditions. Every high school senior should ponder over this situation and not be misled by the present topsy-turvy condition of the world which will lead the thoughtless to believe that the old rule — the best prepared will come out on top — has ceased to exist. It behooves every youth, then, to continue his education most earnestly. Do not think that next June should write ’’Finis to your efforts at self-improvement. Whether it be in college, night- school, or through self-effort, continue steadfastly in your efforts to make yourselves well prepared to face the conditions you will meet in post-war America.

There goes another school term. For some of us it ' s the last one, for others it ' s another year of learning crossed off. But you miss the last year and all the fun you had, the crazy things you did, and the horsin ' around with the crowd. Will you ever forget lunch time or the caf, or serving a spell in Mr. Obold ' s delinquents ' dun- geon? And how about the dirty looks people gave you when you came back for the fifth time trying to sell them something? Yea, man, but this year brought a lot of improvements, too. Bigger and better assembly programs, a couple of hot teams, a new cafe- teria, and a record-breaking Se- nior class that revived the Trip and Supper traditions. The Mu- sic and Shop departments have grown and are making themselves known on the outside. And say, do you think they ' ll ever get that subway to Media finished? Our driveway is getting lop-sided, and the front bank has sunk six inches under those con- crete ducts. How do you like our flagpole? It ' s beginning to look like a laundry line with all those banners flapping. Ah! but we ' re proud of our little M-N and everybody in it. The Seniors are surely going to miss it. (What they really regret, is that they probably won ' t know how all these high school romances turn out.) Seriously, though, M-N has given us a lot of things we won ' t forget, and that we ' ll carry with us in the future. While we look backward at the past year, we also look forward to all the many years ahead of us. DATES September 7 — Grand Fall Opening of the old school house. Forty-two seniors crammed into their new homeroom — close quarters. For the first time, one-half of the class knows how the other half lives. September 14 — Manhattan Singers in assembly today.

May 6 — New window-washing department installed in M-N. See Rob- erts and Warner for prices. May 8 — Burr hair cuts are the rage in M-N. Some of the girls got into quite a rage, too. May 9 — So long, diary. Today you go to press, so we won ' t know how this year ended. ( — don ' t care how, just so it ends, ' ' you say?) Howevah, — here s the line-up for the rest of the year. Make your own cracks. May 19 — Big Music Festival. May 25 — Card party. May 31 — The Seniors leave for their New York trip. June 6 — Declamation Contest. June 9 — Junior Prom.

Carrying on the tradition, shortly after school opened, we selected our class rings and eagerly awaited their coming. Our next big event was the Magazine Drive which netted us $385.15. This amount was more than was ever made by any class in the school ' s history. We were justly proud of this accomplishment, for our class was the smallest in the school. Much credit goes to Miriam Hippie, who very capably managed the drive for us. Junior ranks have been lessened by the enlistment of two patriotically spirited boys, Parker Harlow and William Brewer. Home room discussions, planning for an assembly program and the Junior Prom, and other activities which taught us group-responsibility rounded out a very happy year for us.

We are now the proud winners of $50 which was awarded to the class that brought in the most paper. We can certainly boast, too, when it comes to the field of sports. Our class was well represented on all of Marple-Newtown ' s teams; in fact, there were more sophs out for athletics than any other class. Among our activities was a dance given by the Academic and General sections to further our Bond and Stamp sales. We came out on top with the large sum of $82.70.

Ample amounts were contributed by the ninth grade toward the win- ning of the Tin Can Salvage Drive flag. We also took part in the paper- salvage campaign, coming in first in the second drive. The two ninth grades combined several guidance periods and devoted them to the electing of officers and other class business. The other meetings were separate and of varied nature. Members of the freshman class participated in all the sports our school had, and we were well represented in each sport. Our assembly programs were successful, and we had a lot of fun planning and giving them. Our freshman year has been exciting and enjoyable, but we are look- ing forward to still better and more active years with our senior groups. Left to right, front row; N. Weatherby, J. Gorsuch, L.

We have successfully elected class officers and are learning more about student government, so we can be better future citizens. As for fun, well, there has been plenty of it. We have all had fun during the scrap drives and such enthusiasm over the war bond drives! Mrs. Alice B. Hoopes Miss Margaretta Wenzell Adviser Adviser We are justly proud of our knitters.

We had so much fun planning our plays and parties, al- though our Christmas party could not be held because of an early closing of school. The many new subjects seemed strange to us, but they proved to be very interesting and exciting. The library was the favorite roaming spot of most of the seventh graders. We all liked the fiction books and gained more knowledge by reading the reference books all of which were new to us. Mrs. Elizabeth Conwell Mr. Edgar W.

This year the Athletic Association Student Council, made up of several faculty members, athletic coaches, and representatives of each homeroom, has taken over new duties. We have been trying to combine the Athletic Association Council with a Student Council. This new system has worked very well. A new monitor system has been established by the A. A. Student Council, and steps have been taken to provide a temporary plaque con- taining the names of Marple-Newtown students serving in the armed forces. It was again impossible to hold our annual bake, but $340 was raised by donations made by friends of the school. This was the largest amount ever collected in such a manner. The members of the 1943-44 Athletic Association Student Council were: President, Harold Peirce; Vice-President, Charles Roberts; Secretary, Elaine Patton; Treasurer, Domenic Civitella; Paul Pflueger, Virginia Flood, Janice Ramsey, Robert Goodman, and Nina Butler. Forty-eight MARPLE-NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL Wa.- Uu,, This year the circulation of the Mar-News has greatly increased over hat of previous years. This increased circulation brought out an added interest of the students in their school paper, which through editorials and feature articles, expressed the views and thoughts of the students them- selves. Each year the paper is open for suggestions, and the staff works hard to make each publication an improvement over the last. In an effort to improve the paper this year, the Katty-Korner was discontinued and replaced with a variety of humorous columns. A new arrangement for the Class News page was suggested and carried out with a pleasing effect. The remainder of the paper was carried out in much the same style with the help of capable and original staff members. The art editors drew up some clever cuts which added to the copy. We all express our hope that the paper will continue to be a success throughout the many years to come. Left to right, front row: L. Turner, D. Stowers, R. Stone, G. Gorsuch, L. Downs, E. Patton, J.

Forty-nine 1944 MEMORIES C rcliestru This year our orchestra, under the capable leadership of our new music supervisor, Miss Zipf, has made considerable progress toward taking a more outstanding place in school activities. One stride in this direction is its regular appearance in playing the processional and recessional in assembly. The string ensemble, an important branch of the instrumental depart- ment, made a good showing at a school directors ' meeting at Media on January 20. In May, the whole music department participated in a Spring Music Festival, an addition to the ordinary musical presentations. The spirited playing and increased quality of tone and expression are assets which we hope to keep and improve further under the guidance of Miss Zipf. Front to back, left to right: A. Blosenski, H.

The Glee Club, organized by Miss Zipf, who came to Marple-Newtown this year, consisted of approximately sixty members. Rehearsals were held every Wednesday after school. Miss Zipf had planned a lovely Christmas concert but because of the epidemic of colds had to cancel the program. The Glee Club felt let-down, but Miss Zipf got the members intertested in a concert which was given in Media on January 20. It seemed that the entertainers enjoyed themselves along with the audience. As a result of this, the Club was invited to give a concert for the Women ' s Club on March 2. The performance was such a success that the members were asked to sing for the Parent-Teacher ' s Association and at Ellis College. Miss Zipf and the Club look forward to giving the Spring Festival scheduled for the beginning of May.

Those who give new hope and strength to tired players and fill minds with a new will to win are just as necessary to success as are the actual physical strength and ability of players. They have all offered much of their time to the interests of our school sports and deserve some of the credit that goes with a good athletic season. This is our opportunity to cheer them for their tireless efforts and good work. The cheerleaders, under the able leadership of Doris Stowers, included; Ethel Thomas, Jane Stover, Jackie Spiker, Viola De Vito, and Carol Hall. Left to right, front row: Viola DeVito.

The cooperation of the coach, Mrs. Conwell, the managers, and every girl down to a Second team substitute was outstanding. The practices were held every Tuesday and Thursday after school. The games left many memories of black eyes, scratches, black-and-blue marks as well as rosy cheeks, but every minute of it was loads of fun. Those lost by graduation are Elaine Patton, Captain; Rita DeCecco, Florence Carson, June Lawrence, Fay Hall, Anna Blosenski, Helen Elo- senski, Lorraine Turner, and Nancy Rinehart, Manager.

We had several close games and many exciting ones, but we can boast of only lour victories. Mr. Strunk, the former Jayvee coach, took over both squads and de- serves a lot of credit for his fine coaching. The Jayvees had a more successful season than the varsity, as they won all but four of their games and gained much team cooperation. 1944 RECORD Marple-Newtown 18 Marple-Newtown 23 Marple-Newtown 17 Marple-Newtown 32 Marple-Newtown 18 Marple-Newtown 38 Marple-Newtown 24 Marple-Newtown 20 Marple-Newtown 4 Marple-Newtown 26 Marple-Newtown 21 Marple-Newtown 21 Marple-Newtown 15 Marple-Newtown 25 Marple-Newtown 17 Yeadon 44 Springfield 41 Conshohocken 32 St. Agnes 34 Clifton 44 Booth wyn 12 Sharon Hill 43 Nether Providence 28 Yeadon 49 Springfield 43 Nether Providence 19 Conshohocken 39 Clifton 32 St. Agnes 46 Sharon Hill 38 Left to right, front row: R.
