Plagued with thirst and starvation and in constant danger from Indian attacks, they were weakened but never defeated. With their hopes undaunted and their trust in God unwavering, they reached their goal. These people were typified by their initiative, cooperative spirit, and courage. Such qualities, necessary in life as well as in school for success, have been emphasized in our high school work. Generations have come and gone, bringing their new dreams and progress in the past hundred years. Here are our Memories” of the high school years of the new group of Forty-Niners, who, inspired bv their predecessors, go forth to serve and build. 1949 WL onioned Front row. left to right: C.

We started in September As seniors did we return To take our seats in Apples’ ’’ room, Supposedly to learn. That makes the vote unanimous,” President Ted would calmly roar; Then H. R. H. would counter, That was forty-four to four.” We started off the year with zest With the Christmas Card campaign. Mr. Harvey let us have no rest Made us sell in snow and rain. To the call of Tally Boy” The senior boys came running, And when refreshment time came ’round, The girls were r eally cunning. On the 29th of December Came the Senior Dance, Christmas trees and snowflakes Filled the air with sweet romance. The Chicken Supper went off swell, The chicken good and savory. What did A1 Roberts have to say When he sat down in the gravy ? New York came in the spring, With wondrous sighs the air did ring. Many things made up our days We spent our time in merry ways. The 16th of June was our great day, When up the aisle we made our way. Our high school days are past, it’s true, All that’s left, dear Memories, is you. l Jeivtoivn 1949 W emoneS ADMINISTRATION is GUIDANCE 94 9 lljem orieA Sck oo( (fSourcl An influential but seldom-heard-of body of men is the Marple-Newtown School Board. This year much progress was made at month- ly meetings. In co-operation with the Student Council, the School Board gave the former the authority to punish non-observance of bus conduct rules. The School Board financed new Lejt to right: E. Ewing, J. Frederick, C. Russell, W. Loomis, F. Capotosto, W. Trowbridge, J. Scherr, J. cheerleading uniforms. A committee now is studying the problem of a fence around the school and is planning to finance this project in the very near future. The class of 49” take this opportunity to thank the School Board for its wonderful job in guiding us and working for our welfare. Gable, H. Forsythe, J. Worrall. (Mr. Thomas H. Darrah was not present.) 10 f- rinciiia 16 A review of United States history will show that certain years are thrown into the high light by some events associated with them. The year 1849 belongs in this category, for it was at that time that the California gold rush took place. The discovery of gold in the race of Sutter’s mill caused thousands of people to rush madly to California by land and water. Many failed to reach their desired goal and either fell by the wayside or returned home. Yet others, by a display of dogged courage and grim determ- ination, surmounted unbelievable odds and at last reached the gold fields. We would like history to tell us that their persistence was rewarded with success but actually, for one successful seeker after goal, hundreds met with disappointment. Why? Simply because they were trying to beat the age-old rule that you get out of any enterprise only the results commensurate with the effort put into that enterprise. Too many seekers after wealth believed that they would gain it quickly and avoid long years of weary work. That is not the way of life. The future showed where the real riches of California were located. They lay in her farms, orchards and forests whence man extracted them by hard but fruitful toil extending over a long period of time. The truth of this principle is very clear in its application to our life in school. If the athlete would only realize that victory depended as much upon a long build- up of hard practice and physical conditioning as upon brilliant performance during the game, our school would report a greater number of winning games. Positions on the honor-roll are gained by steady, hard application during study periods both at home and in school rather than in dependence upon showy performance during the recitation period. We can all learn, then, from the lesson taught by the Forty-Niners that wealth or any worthy objective cannot be won by some quick method but only by long, earnest effort.

L laJj The distinguished and glorious class of 1949, being of sound mind and memory, does admit and blushingly confess that this creed is its last will and testament, to be carried out by all who shall in due humility follow it on the path of learning in Marple-Newtown High School. To the School Board we leave our request that they build a new auditorium. To the school we leave the benefit of our newly acquired wisdom in the following set of revised rules: 1. Classes shall be held on all the days of the week except those days whose names begin with M, T, W, F, and S. 2. Classes shall begin at 11:00 a. m. and end at 1:00 p. m. 3. The luncheon period shall extend over a two-hour interval. 4. At the beginning of the school year, the students shall explain to the teachers what and how they are expected to teach. To the faculty we leave our heartfelt sym- pathy. Still, in the words of the poet, It is better to have had us and lost us than never to have had us at all.” To the underclassmen who have the great honor of being our successors, we extend hearty congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, yes, even from the soles of our loafers. To all the school activities in which we have participated we leave a grave doubt. Although they will probably not die altogether, we feel they will fall into a moribund state, but will, in the end, be saved by the underclassmen who Wdl will attempt to imitate our cleverness and skill. There is another to whom we extend our sincerest thanks for friendship and guidance through our high school years— for it’s not the school alone (we thank) but the principal of the thing. Individually, we do hereby bequeath our worldly goods as follows: Bob Snelling inherits from Don Tarleton one camera, and from Tom Tull, one million arguments. Shirley Holloway leaves to Nancy Dutton her way” with Mrs. Marlino. To Joe Smith, Helen Ballaron leaves the ability to get good marks without studying. Of course Joe really doesn’t need this. The mirror in the girls’ room is left to Ruth Hippie by Jeanne Grover. Ace” Hatton, although he really doesn’t need it, is willed A1 Roberts’ great big laugh. Betty Ketchledge leaves her bottle of Moon- sheen” to Bessie Loomis, who will now have two bottles. That way with women” is left to Lee Hollo- way by George Snyder, with the advice to use it. Gloria Nilan wills her flirty eyes to Joan Heavens. Teddy Lamb inherits Ed Gorman’s razor and all his second-hand blades — for future use. Anna May Mahon leaves with pleasure her iodine and band-aids to Mary Ellen Jinkner. To Johnny Parks, Connie Fletcher wills his bee-u-ti-ful curly hair.

Carrying on the tradition, we selected our class rings early in the year and eagerly awaited their coming. Our next event was the Magazine Drive which netted us $665.13. The task of adding these funds went to Bob Nolan, who did a swell job. The Juniors are justly proud of the large part they played in school athletics. They were represented in every sport, and the fellows won the intramural boys’ basketball championship. Class meetings and other affiairs rounded out our school year. As a climax to the entire year, the Junior Prom was held on May 21. George Young and his orchestra provided fine music. The work of many committees and class enthusiasm made the dance an event to remember. Front row, left to right: G. Blair, R. Van Kanan, S. Wallace, R. Steer, M. E. Jinkner, B. Robinson, J. Clark, G.

It doesn’t accomplish anything!” Student Coun- cil members have been subject to this attack many times and would like to show, at this time, their record of achievement. In the field of athletics they first inaugurated a season ticket drive, then, with financial aid from the School Board, purchased new cheer- leading outfits for the girls. A new plan for awards to managers of athletic teams was put into effect. They made an extensive study of the need for fencing around the football field and presented the facts to the School Board, where it met with approval. For the school, the Council purchased mir- rors for the locker rooms, gave monitors new duties, systematized fire drills, and started a drive to keep lavatories spic and span. They were given permission by the School Board to punish offenders of school bus rules and did so when necessary. For greater safety and efficiency, a plan was drawn up and car- ried out for school bus riders at Marple Grade School. This year, again, the A. A. drive was spon- sored. It brought in needed funds for our ath- letic teams. Solicitors were treated to free dinners. Nina Butler, as president, did an excellent job; Mary Ellen Jinkner was vice-president; Barbara Peel, secretary; and Floyd Shaver, treasurer. 1949 M em oned 42 Not because we are the first to have a school paper printed by a new method, but because it gives the news from our own classes and school, the Mar-News is the biggest little paper in our world.

The bachelor’s sister’s children, charming Pamela and Sonny Young, not only ruined Uncle’s social prospects, but with complete abandon and probable ruin took charge of Uncle’s club, political career, and social life. The youngsters, superbly played by Sydney Dutton and Paul Thompson, were the centers of romantic in- terests as well as evil inventive genius.

This year the monitors took on new duties. They maintained order during fire drills, and at lunch time kept the hungry students’ prog- ress down the steps at a safe pace. We appreciate their work and congratulate them on their efficient handling of the hordes that fill the halls at passing time. 45 Seated, left to right: M. E. Jinkner, B. Robinson, D.

Beyond question this year’s group of veterans and rookies” certainly came through eight difficult debates with flying colors. Handling the topic of World Government,” our affirmative and negative teams had identical records of two wins and two defeats. Losing only by a few points on several occasions, our debaters, coached by Mr. Stephen Kachur, definitely showed a fighting, competitive spirit. After graduation, Ted Muehlmatt, Don Ealy, Nina Butler, and Dolores D’Onofrio, will bid farewell to an organization, which does not call for physical ability but rather for courage and knowledge. They leave with the assurance that those who carry on are experienced and capable of pulling through thick and thin to win for ' ole’ M. N. the battle of the mental sticks. __ 94 9 oric3 46 a rp(e- l jewtown Practice Wa Pictured below is this year’s Cheerleading squad in a familiar early-morning practice session. Through these gatherings the cheer- leaders were able to present to the student body several novel pep rallies and also a squad well-coached and well-captained by Mrs. R. Wade and Betty Ketchledge, respectively. Starting the year in their old uniforms, the girls were generously given new outfits by the board after the beginning of the basketball season. It certainly knocked your eyes out to see the girls in their bright orange sweaters and flashy black skirts. Their thanks go to the organizations and individuals who made these new outfits possible. We, at Marple-Newtown, should be proud of our peppy cheerleaders. Other schools of our size can hardly boast of having as grand a group of girls put together and emerging as the big punch behind their teams. So let’s continue to back them up and give the support necessary for spurring our teams on to victory! Kneeling, left to right: P. Lamb, B. Ketchledge, J. Young. Second row: J. Scheid, J.

The Science Club, under the leadership of Mr. Baldelli, has taken some interesting trips and learned much in the held of scientific re- search. One of the most active clubs is the Tri-Hi-Y, directed by Miss Yeingst and Miss D’Amelio. The girls went to the Chester Day Nursery with a Christmas party this year, sold Easter eggs as a project to make money, sponsored a Mother and Daughter Banquet, and sold caps and but- tons with the school insignia on them. A new addition to M. N. this year is the boys’ Hi-Y, directed by Mr. Kachur. The boys put on a jamboree early in the spring to entertain other Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y clubs from neighbor- ing schools. The girls in the junior high glee club have worked hard with Miss Kahn and they have had fun, too. They sang at the Christmas Con- cert and took part in the Spring Festival.

This is the first time in many years we have played more than eight games. Our team started out well against Mt. Pleas- ant and ended up by giving Springfield more of a battle than they had expected. During the season, the boys played well and came back to defeat Boothwyn by the score of 24 to 6. Pat Newby, George Snyder, Ralph Shupard, Connie Fletcher, John Mackey, Bob Young, and others will be lost for next year through graduation. Hopes are high for the 1949 season, since Coach Richute has a strong nucleus re- maining. SCORES M.N 7 Mt.

After eating a delicious turkey dinner, the boys heard talks on football from several men in the community and saw the Milton Berle Show on Television. All those who attended had a swell time.

Led by Captain Bob Young, our playmaker, and Ed Feldkircher, our high scorer, M.N. won five and lost five to tie for third place in the Suburban Five League. We opened with Media in the Kiwanis Tournament and lost 44-41 in a very exciting game. The boys played excellent ball during the year. Mr. Olson’s Jayvees also had a fine season, and these boys should help fill in next year when Young, Snyder, and Feldkircher leave.

A very enthusiastic group of girls turned out ready to display what ever ability they had. Just before the holiday season, Coach Reggie Wade picked the two teams and with many days of drilling and sweating it out, prepared for better or for worse. Both Varsity and J.V. turned in a fine job at the end of the season and regretted to see it come to an end. Front row, left to right: Mrs. Wade, Coach; J. Lubker, C. Sterling, J. Collins, B. Peel, J.

Joan Lubker followed her with 120. Betty Ketchledge, guard, proudly represented M.N. in winning first team placement on the All-Delaware County girls ' basketball team. Barbara Peel and Joan Lubker as forwards won a place on the honorary team. Mrs. Wade states she will miss her talented seniors, but she is looking forward to molding a winning team next year with Loomis, Lubker, and Scheid as her up-and-coming forwards.

Shupard, a crushing fullback, was brilliant all year on both offense and defense. His tremendous kicks got us out of a hole many times. Donald Atkinson caught numerous passes during the season and played excellently on defense. Mr. Pittman, the Junior High coach, looks forward to next year with hopes of another good season.
