Only pleas- ant memories remain, some of which we have attempted to set down in this yearbook. CONTENTS Administration . Seniors Underclassmen . Athletics . Activities 85 P- Advertisements . 107 Because of our Implicit faith in youth, we, the class of 1955, dedicate these Memories to you, the future senior classes of the M a r p I e-N e w t o w n High School . As you leave Marp I e- Newtown, you will cross one of the major thresholds of life into a mature and demanding so- ciety. Be sure that when you pass through that doorway to the future you have pre- pared yourself well. May you profit by our mistakes, gain by our successes, and thrive on affection and respect for our Alma Mater. THE SENIOR CLASS AT ONE OF ITS MANY MEETINGS FAREWELL, M-N In our senior year, studies and activities somehow seemed different. We were putting the finishing touches on one of the most important phases of our lives. Breaking away from a loved and familiar routine is never easy, but we were buoyed up by the real meaning of graduation. After every ending there is a new beginning, and our graduation was merely the grand-finale before the start of a new and successful life on our own. Our prospects may differ, but our goal is the same; we are entering a troubled world hoping to make it better and confident that with God ' s help we shall. 6 TO MISS YEINGST, MR. NYE, AND MR. HARVEY As we look back on pleasant days in Marple-Newtown, we find that in difficult situations you were always there to help and guide us. You taught us to accept responsibility, to solve problems, and to respect authority. In the reali- zation that we can never repay all you ' ve done for us, we want to at least extend our sincerest thanks. The Graduating Class Andris and associate editors work on layout Staff artists discuss one of their drawings. MEMORIES” IN THE MAKING This year ' s staff really learned what hard work isand how quickly deadlines sneak up on you. They sacrificed a good part of their spare time trying to make our Memories not only a true representation of our class and school but also a treasure of which we can be proud.

Small schools have some advantages to be desired such as the intimate contact made possible between pupils and faculty. On the other hand the large school Is able to furnish better physical equipment such as libraries, auditoriums, gymnasiums, laboratories, and shops which more than compensate for the advantages of the small school . All the fine buildings and equipment ever created, however, will not make a really fine school without a student-body which will strive to make itself worthy of such an environment. Just as much loafing can be done in a good library as in a poor one and the same amount of listlessness can be shovm in a well equipped lab- oratory as in one that is not so well furnished with scientific apparatus. In a very short time the Marple- Newtown High School will find itself housed in a new building fitted out with all the latest and best equipment ' designed to carry on educational activities. It is up to the students to match this physical plant with a vigorous, determined resolve that they will never be satisfied with poor, shoddy effort, but will throw themselves Into all school activities, curricular and extra- curricular, in such a manner that no doubt will remain that they are doing their very best. If this spirit of high-level achievement is maintained In our student-body, the communities supporting our high school will feel amply well paid for the ex- penditures that they will have made in their effort to provide the boys and girls of Marple and Newtovm with adequate educational facilities. 10 Jay W.

FORESEEING OUR NEEDS Capable and sincerely interested in our welfare, the men and women of the school board hold Marp I e- Newtown in their competent hands. Several of their many accomplishments this year were interviewing and ap- pointing new teachers, appointing the architects for the new high school, and floating a $1,000,000 bond to finance the present expansion program. The school board is guided by its president, Mr. Capotosto, and its other elected officers, Mr. Peterson, vice president, Mr, Russell, treasurer, and Mr. Loomis, secretary. 1 1 THE PAST IN THEIR HANDS... THE FUTURE IN OURS I 1 ■ K I KjRgb li M r ,- ■ ■ idU oo®V® ' 4 W ' °® 16 17 The primary objective of oil porent-teocher organizations is tocreate better understanding between the home and the school. Our P.T.A. conducted a series of programs which helped our parents to become more familiar with various depart- ments of the school such as music, science, English, etc. It also held a number of panel discussions with other civic organizations. This important organization sponsors the annual High School Athletic Banquet at which recognition is given to M-N ' s outstanding athletes, has donated some of the fine paintings which dec- orate many of the class rooms, and awards generous prizes at Commencement to outstanding seniors. 18 On the Job ' em busV SttvUeV ' s g, ?

As students we studied hard, observed well, and learned much. As seniors we worked together on football concessions, the Halloween Party, the Senior Tea, the Senior Ball, and our yearbook. As future citizens we played an important part in sports, dramatics, the school paper, student council, the band, chorus, debating, and many other activities. Each new experience helped in its own way to prepare us for a better tomorrow. 22 GEORGE ADAMS Secret Ambition; To be on an Olympic track team Academic George, get the hair out of your eyes . . . new addition fromUpper Darby . . . good-natured . . . girl from Upper Darby . . . shot out of a cannon . . . has his own fan club . . . flirt- ing with the commercial girls . . . friendly . . . plans to be a millionaire.

Wot teis. LOOKING BACK ON THE NIFTY FIFTIES! In our busy universe of space ships and interplanetary life, we seldom get time to reminisce about the good old days at M-N. ZOOMPHl 1 There goes another hot-rod flying saucerl Times haven ' t changed much. Remember how we seniors bustled into school on September 9, all resigned to losing our tans? It ' s a shame we didn ' t know about tan while you learn light bulbs, so common in today ' s schools. We ' ll never forget our football season opener on September 24. Where on earth did Radnor get the formula for super vitamin pills? In 1954, Tri-Hi- Y girls were lucky. The initiation now is to be left for a day on Jupiter where you weigh in at 600 pounds. The Halloween parties on October 26 and 27 were lots of fun with movies, dancing, and ducking for apples. Nowadays, a pocket detector would discover the money hidden in the apples. The modern method of catching your man on Sadie Hawkins ' Day is to send out brain waves so he can ' t say, No . And then, on November 17, there was Clementine, the senior play. Present day theaters are equipped with dials to turn the actors on and off. On December 2, the hockey and football teams and the cheer- leaders were honored at the Annual Football Banquet. Too bad we drop- ped those good old sports for the ones we picked up from the Martians. The Senior Tea on December 7, was a tremendous success. The odd part was that instead of eating pills, we gorged ourselves with some things called cookies and tea sandwiches. During Christmas Vacation we held our Senior Ball with white trees, blue lights, and all the trimmings. Now we let robots do the decorating while we sit around and socialize. We worked like fiends then trying to get our essays in on time. In this day and age schools equip each classroom with an athemeograph to eliminate such strain on the brain. We don ' t recall much about the senior trip except that we had a supersolar time. Washington seems to be pretty much of a blur. Hal On June 10, we proved that one thing time can ' t change is the satisfaction of having graduated. We lived it up at Lenape Park and then said a sad goodbye to our friends and our Alma Mater. Even way back in 1955 we knew the value of true friendship and high ideals. Of Dottie and John we surely can boast, Because for our school they do the most. Ralph and Elinor do many things well. From ruling the class to leading a yell. Barbara and Ralph are tops in dress; Good clothes and good grooming are what they stress. When it comes to worrying about any grade, Arlene and Andris have it already made. Fay and Andy have gifts galore; They talk and talk then talk some more. Bert and Norm are really a scream; They ' re always up to some crazy scheme. Janet and Charlie think everything true That the grass is pink or the sky isn’t blue. Our very best athletes are Jerry and Pat; Just watch any game then try topping that. Joyce and Frank have plenty of looks But take little time to crack the books. 47 Joyce and Ralph are liked by all; Their personality ' s right on the ball. Whenever it comes to a little jest, Janet and Vince can take it the best. Arlene and John are most likely to succeed, In school or careers they ' ll be taking the lead. Dottle and Jim can cut a rug. To a mambo, waltz, or jitterbug. Frank and Carolyn, the bashful two.

These prospects dimmed as key men were lost for the season by major injuries- 6 ' -185 lb. Joe Glasse in the Radnor game and Captain Ralph Cubbler in the Clifton Contest, both with broken legs. In addition to these major in juries, at least a score of minor ones cropped up to hamper our Tigers. Our final record was one victory, one tie and six losses. The season was con- cluded by our massacre by a powerful Springfield team. Those lost by graduation were: R. Hatvany, C. Elliott, C, Harkins, L. Celia, J, Renner, R. Gennarelli, T. Moore, F.

JUNIOR HIGH STRESSES FUNDAMENTALS The Junior High started the season with a very green team having only a few lettermen left from last year. For that reason fundamentals were stressed , rather than complicated plays. Although the scores don ' t show it, the boys improved as the season wore on.

Our Varsity, with an experienced backfield but green line, lost the first game and then went on to win three straight. In our last four games we lost two see-saw ones to Darby and Media and then were outclassed but never outplayed by Springfield and Haverford. Although it was not indicated by the record, we had good teamwork and spirit on the Varsity throughout the season. The Jayvees had a very impressive record, winning seven while only losing one. The prospects are bright for next year, since only four Varsity and three Jayvee play- ers will be lost by graduation. Much credit is due to the fine coaching of Miss Thomas and Mrs. Morton. 71 Act well your part there all the honor lies 72 R. Harris, T. Young, R. Gennarelli, R. Feldkircher, J. Hurford, J. Neely, C.

Although it had a poor season, only two seniors played regularly, with juniors and sophomores doing a large share of the work. Bob Feldkircher was the high scorer, closely followed by Carl Thurston, John Hurford, Richard Gillmor, and Bob Harris, all of whom were underclassmen. The boys, coached by Mr. Schmidt, improved as the sea- son progressed and did well toward the end.

Under their coaches, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Billets, the players developed skills and sportsmanship at infrequent practices. Arlene D ' Onofrio, Eleanor Hoch, Nancy Wertz, and Betty Jane Powell, managers, did a fine job carrying out their duties. With a keen eye on the future, Mrs. Morton composed her squad primarily of sophomores and will lose six seniors by graduation. They are Gretchen Mercado, Arlene Kelly, Sue Schaffner, Elinor Wessel, Joyce Roth, and Bonnie Lee Fisher. 79 E. Wessel, C. Manges, D. Wallace, B. L. Fisher, A. D ' Onofrio, J. Roth, L. Grantham. SPIRIT IS THEIR GOAL Cheer I coding not all honor and glory, calls for plenty of hard work. The girls practiced every morning during football and basketball seasons under the leadership of their captain Elinor Wessel and the supervision of Mrs. Duncan. The actual cheering at games and pep rallies is only a part of their duties. Constant boosting of spirit is a never-ending job at M-N. Our cheerleaders are the first to cheer for victory and the last to give up. 80 S. Robertson, K. Grantham, A. Ortlip, J. Gray, B. Klink, L. Rice, S. Alexander. THEY LEARN BY EXPERIENCE Junior High Cheerleaders are the nucleus from which future cheerleaders are picked. They are to be commended for their cheering at the junior high games and practicing without adult supervision. Their able captain, Joan Gray, must call practices when thesenior cheerleaders are not using the gym. This experience will be a great asset in future years. 81 BASEBALL TEAM LOOKS GOOD Marty, John, Jack, and Bob have high hopes for bringing home the championship.

They all have received Marple-Newton ' s highest athletic award participating, either as players or mana- gers, in varsity sports. They have distinguised themselves and their school; their graduation will be Marple-Newton ' s loss. As much as our school will miss these fine athletes, we feel confident their places will be filled by equally competent students. 83 I Pulling for M. Half-time refreshment Seniors ?

The collection of $1,000 on Tag Day proved that the student body and the community were wholeheartedly behind our oand.

CHORUS DELIGHTS M-N AUDIENCES This year ' s chorus has added greatly to the school. Under Mr. Oberholtzer ' s direction, it participated in the Christmas Program, the Spring Concert, and in other musical programs. A promise of even better things next year is indicated by the large proportion of underclassmen. These two smaller groups, The Varsity Eight (left) and the Martown Co-eds (right) have grown out of the chorus. 89 CLEMENTINE”- A SUCCESS On Friday Night ' , November 19, our senior high presented a delightful roman- tic comedy, Clementine.

The affirmative defeated Media while the negative took P. M. C. Prep School. M-N was again victorious the following week with wins over Ridley Park and Nether Providence, but, alas, the following week the tables were turned and our affirmative lost a close debate to Ridley. At the time the yearbook staff met its last deadline, the debating team had won four debates and lost one with three more debates to go. The team ' s champion- ship prospects were bright. Our negative team was comprised of Carol Stuhlmuller, first speaker; Bill Brainerd, second speaker; and Art WrigTit, alternate speaker. M-N ' s affirmative team, in the same order, was John Gillmor, Arlene Kelly, and Andris Suna. The topic for debate was whether the United States should initiate a policy of free trade with friendly nations. 91 Small service is true service Wordsworth II 92 FIRST ROW: R. Klumpp, D. Depova, R.

All seniors on the staff have under- classmen as assistants so there will be an experienced staff to start the paper next year . Several new columns were added to the paper this year. We would like to include a word of thanks to our sponsors, Mr. Curtis and Mr. George. 93 FUTURE LEADERS OF AMERICA This year we heard the cries of a very unusual animal — the Student Coun- cilor. Two of those cries were Buy a booster ticketl Buy a sweat shirt 1 At that point we reached into our pockets and helped the Student Council raise more money for its many expenses. The Student Council, under Its able advisors, Mr. Miller and Mr. Hughes, had a very active year. It presented various letters and awards for extra-curricular activities, had weekly menus posted for the cafeteria, and boosted school spirit.

MATCHING I.Q’s Each year, the Scott Paper Company sponsors a radio quiz program in which the schools of Delaware County compete for big prizes. The members of Marple- Newtown ' s team matched their wits and knowledge against those of twenty other schools, and after three exciting contests wound up with a grand total of 78 points. This year ' s I Q contest was much more demanding than those of previous years, when contestants were to find and correct mistakes in a short narrative. This year the teams were asked difficult questions embracing a wide selection of subjects. Each team was then given a period in which to find answers. The total scores, and not victories in individual contests, determined the three winning teams, which then had further contests for the prizes. Although Marple-Newtown was not a winner this year, it placed quite well among the other schools. Next year the team will have two veteran members and thus should make an even better showing. 97 THE GUARD OF HONOR Each June as the organ music bursts forth on Commencement night, twelve juniors have the honor of escorting the graduating class into the auditorium.

OUTSTANDING STUDENTS GAIN RECOGNITION Marp I e-Newtown was first chartered by the National Honor Society in 1944. Since that tinne more than fifty students have pledged to uphold its ideals of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. This year five juniors and seven seniors were chosen. Arlene Kelly, Carol Stuhlmuller, Elinor Wessel , Andris Suna, and John Gillmor, members from last year, conducted the ceremony. Dr. Arnold Look of the Charles E. Ellis School gave the address . To be elected to the National Honor Society is the greatest honor a junior or senior can receive from this school and is a goal toward which every student should strive. 99 V II Mingle your cares with pleasure now and then Cato 100 The Engineers’ Club was just formed this year by Mr. Wertz. It was made up of boys interested in engineering and mathematics, who studied engineering tools, tackled difficult problems concerning the subject, and, among other things, went out to search for buried treasure l The Junior Red Cross is a service club with the purpose of helping others. The girls along with Mrs. Dow were kept busy making bean bags for hospitals and orphanages and handling the Red Cross Fund Drive. CLUBS • • • The Teenage Book Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Manlove, was designed for students who enjoy reading. Its members were able to purchase paper-back editions of popular books at twenty- five cents a copy. To have fun through dancing was the intention of the Dancing Club every Wednesday as the members pushed the cafeteria tables back to the walls. The club was under the direction of Miss Whalen and Mrs. Epler. Whether it was fall, winter, or spring, the Archery Club could be seen out on the hockey field on Wednesday afternoons. Armed with bows and arrows, they enjoyed themselves by shoot- ing up their dummy. Thechores ofthe library club were many. Besides work- ing at the desk during their study periods, the members shelved books, changed bulletin boards, and helped prepare new books for circulation. ENTERTAIN Every Wednesday the tantalizing aroma of pizza, ginger- bread, or cookies could be detected as it escaped from the Home Ec. Room. Responsible for it were Miss Campbell and her Chef Club. The boys of the Hobby Model Club were kept busy during their club periods with the many models of airplanes, ships, and cars, which they built under the guidance of Mr. Benevit. Their projects were often displayed in the shop showcase. The Projector Club, under the direction o f Mr. Allison, studied the operation of tape recorders, projectors, and loud- speaker systems, enabling its members to run these machines in classes and during assemblies. The members of the Art Club enjoyed expressing them- selves artistically. They turned out pictures done in pastels, water paints, and pencils, and were competently instructed in their work by Mr. Law. Mr. Curtis and the members of the Junior High Dramatics Club were very active. Not only did they read plays, but they also wrote some of their own. The high points of the year in- cluded their presentation of these original plays in assembly. WHILE EDUCATING Throughout the year, Mr. Rathey helped the members of the Sports Information Club become familiar with famous sports names, make predictions on games, and learn the rules of many different sports. With Mr. Richute directing them, the boys of the Cards and Games Club had lots of fun learning and playing a variety of games to round out their leisure time activities. The newly formed Junior Tri-Hi-Y Club, sponsored by Miss Liddick and Mrs. Morton, had many projects this year. These included the Junior High Sadie Hawkins ' Day dance, a Christmas assembly program, and a swimming party. TWA On FIRST ROW; M. L. Anson, C. Watson, C. Small, P. Orlando, C. Orlando, M. J. Cox, L.

Joyce Roth IT’S A WOMAN’S WORLD The Tri-Hi-Y was made up of fifty-five girls this year from grades ten to twelve. One of the most active projects sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y was Canteen on Friday night for the Junior and Senior High. We sold chrysanthemums for the Thanksgiving Day Game and served luncheon at Lansdowne ' s Community Y After the Christmas Party for an orphanage in Chester, we all came home with a lot more Christmas spirit. Easter eggs were sold in April by the Sophomore and Junior girls to raise funds for the Mother-Daughter Banquet. The Tri-Hi-Y year was a very happy one for all of us, and surely none of the girls will ever forget the delightful time we had at our initiation party at Ned Nedurian ' s. Officers who served the club so well this year were Joyce Roth, president; Janet Gilbert, vice-president; Karen Hall, recording secretary; Arlene D ' Onofrio, corresponding secretary; Sandra Beam, treasurer; Carol Harlow, chaplain; Barbara Danby, Sergeant-at-arms. 1 04 BOYS WILL BE BOYS 1954-55 has been a fine season for the Hi-Y. Our small but powerful or- ganization entered into many activities. Last summer, a few members of our club attended Camp Lookout for officer training. We also sent a delegation to the annual Y.M.C.A. Older Boys ' conference, and we served dinner at Lansdowne ' s Y.M.C. A. We had a great time on our trip to Bill Frick ' s summer cottage and hope to re- peat it next year. What is that noise? — Were you moaning. Bill? We senior members of the club want to wish our successors as rewarding a season as that of 1954-55, and to thank Mr. Wertz for his sincere co-operation in helping us to carry out our program. The following were the officers for 1954-55: Vince Mackay, president; Art Wright, vice-president; William Frick, secretary; Pete Sherrard, treasurer. Vincent Mackay LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW: W.
