Published by the Senior Class of the Marple- Newtown High School Newtown Square, Pennsylvania i 3 In legend and in picture, we have captured from the year gone by highlights of things never to be forgotten The inconvenience of construc- tion and mud The long but worthwhile appli- cation to the books The friendly noon-hour gather- ings The good times that ended all too soon .

BOARD BURNS MIDNIGHT OIL The goal of fhe Joint School Board has been, and will continue to be, pro- viding students at Marple-Nevvtov n with the best possible facilities for the best pos- sible education. A dual task presented itself this year: completionof our new wing, housing a fine gymnasium and auditorium; and formulation of plans for erecting an entirely new high school, to be finished in 1957. Long midnight-plus sessions were necessary to iron out the innumerable problems standing in the way of performing this task. The exhaustive planning and paper work of the Board will be manifested when the students and residentsof Marple and Newtown Townships proudly add these new facilities to our growing school system. 6 Supervising Principal J.W. Worrall The Romans had an expression Tempos Fugit which, as every high school Latin pupil knows, means that time flies. We hear our contemporaries using the expression Time is of the essence . One of our writers implored time to turn back in its flight. These expressions and countless others that could be quoted all lead to the same conclusion - that time possesses great value and should be used wisely while we have it . One great author made the statement that young people think that there is no end to time. This is a pleasant thought but somewhat fallacious. Futhermore, it is well for boys and girls to know that time seems to move faster as each succeed- ing stage of life is reached. The printed page contains innumerable pieces of advice on not putting things off but doing them now. Life has a way of cluttering up the years to come with so many activities that they prevent the carrying out of some project which we have planned for the future when the intended time for its performance arrives. The lesson to be drawn from what has just been written is very plain - do not waste time. 7 Jay W . Worral I The P.T.A. , with a larger membership and attendance than ever before, remembered the youth of the community by their interest in Canteen, their desire to grant a fulltime schol- arship, and by contributing their part in the composition of the Youth Code. 8 ■ P IL . fcj L V. • ■q BETSY J.

Bob can always be counted on to lend a hand in any situation. Dance Committee 3; Yearbook Staff 4. WILLIAM BOWERS, III Academic Bill, Penn State ' s most faithful rooter, has directed his high schooled- ucation toward an engineering career. His work as MEMORIES sub- scription manager is indicative of the quality of Bill ' s accomplishments in the past four years. He has also served M-N well on the court and on the diamond. JOHN M. BLACKLEY General In contrast to his aversion for book reports and composi- tions, Johnny has evidenced a keen interest in cars and en- gines. He is also a good art student who distributes his off school time between caring for his horse and working part-time.

His chief interests are cars and mechanics, but he also finds time for trips toBrynMawr and good times with his many friends.

REID FRANCIS CLIFFORD Academic Good-natured and easy-going describe this amiable senior. Besides having a healthy affinity for the opposite sex, Reid works hard within the organizations of which he is a member, offering constructive sug- gestions.

RUTH ELAINE COLEBURN Commercial Ruthie, when not working at Mackey ' s, has found time to serve on many senior committees. In private life, she eats mustard sandwiches and fights with Eddie. An avo- cation is washing her hair frequently, a practice which helped her to be chosen for the Junior Prom Queen’s Court.

BARBARA JEAN DANBY Commercial Our Mar-News editor is another Mackey ' s mainstay, man- aging to be active in numerous school functions. Outside of school. Barb is a member in good standing of; ,C ( ) and keeps a busy social calendar. We must admit that she has met her deadlines better than the MEMORIES editors.

BEVERLY DAVIES Commercial Bev is among M-N ' s top scholars despite her claim that she never studies. Although she remains silent on the subject of her scholastic and extra-curricular achievements, her record speaks for itself. Bev has always done well and will, we think, continute to do so.

DIANA MARIE DUDLEY Commercial Diana, outwardly quiet and reticent, reveals her talkative nature when in the company of Wilma and her friends. Acquaintances at West Point and Annapolis seem to have the same effect on her. A secretarial career is Diana ' s present goal. Tri-Hi-Y 3,4. MARTIN F. ELLIOTT Academic Matty has earned letters in several nonathletic fields, in- cluding three in Mr. Wertz ' s homeroom and one from Ellis School, As a monitor, he directed hall traffic dur- ing the week, and on Saturday nights he was frequently seen directing traffic at Holy Cross.

The time spent talking on the telephone has interested her in a career in that field of communication. Senior High Play 2,3,4; Senior Chorus 3; Dance Committee 3; Mar- News I, ! BERTHA LORRAINE FISHER Commercial What time is it, Martha? overheard in 7th period P. O. D. class, indicates Bertha ' s daily eagerness to get home to see if there ' s any mail. Her good taste in clothes and her bashful but pleasant smile have contributed to Bert ' s popularity.

HARRY JAMES FITZMIER General Fitzy, a transfereefrom Bartram, had no trouble infitting into our pattern of school life. Jim brought with him his tricky basketball playing as well as a sincere interest in the fairer sex. Hard work at the Acme has helped pay for Jim ' s own car. JEANETTE ETCOVE General When you see this Tide rushing, you can be sure that Frank ' s the reason. On the hockey field. Jeanette is a real whiz, confusing the opposition with her sneaky scoops and lightning passes. In off-school hours she can often be found behind the wheel of her pink Studebaker.

ROBERT BRUCE FELDKIRCHER General Tall, lanky Bob graduates intending to make a career of his consuming high school interest- -sports. Often seen clowning with Witch and Steve, Boot can show a seri- ous side, too. Admittedly, he is a woman-hater, but why the frequent trips to the Wishing Well?

MARLYN ELEANORE FITZMIER General The other half of this Gradyville duo, though different in many ways from brother Jim, has shown the same knack for making friends since joining us two years ago. Her work in school-and at Mackey ' s illus- trates Marlyn ' s dependability.

WALTER EARLE FLOOD General Walt ' sfamous selling techniques have made him a handy guy to have around, both between nine and three-thirty and behind the counter at H.J. ' s. Floodie takes his tasks seriously and counts on his ' 49 Hudson to get to Springfield (he doesn’t care if he can ' t get back). Monitor 4: Dance Committee 3. ROBERT P. FRANCOLINI Academic Frenchioli, ah. . . Frankonelli, ah. . . Bob is a great Hi-Y booster and student of science. Although he aspires to be an engineer, the school is wondering if Bob ' s fabulous success as a liquid lead pencil vendor does not prove that he can always be a super -salesman.

While she does have somber moments, Liz is better known for her per- petual good humor and contagious laugh. Her main in- terests, jazz and Acf) , both rank second to Liz ' s love for people in general (I i -Academic, too). R, ELIZABETH GRAHAM Commercial JOSEPH BAMFORD GLASSE Academic Our outstanding chief executive for the past four years has led us suc- cessfully over the rough spots and has planned numerous social events we ' ll always remember.

RICHARD D. GROSS Academic Dick is our answer to Einstein, once or twice removed. When not catching teachers ' errors, he is active in many school organizations or in his individual study of foreign languages. Dick is ably suited to several career fields, leaning more toward engineering.

Academic 26 PRISCILLA ELAINE HARLOW General A keen sense of humor accompanied by a spiraling giggle characterize Pat, usually seen goofing off with Nancy. The original hair styles and her ambition to be an airline hostess misrepresent Pat ' s real name, which she heartily dislikes. Tri-Hi-Y 3. JOHN HARTNETT In the year that we have known John, he has impressed us with this friendliness and fondness for women. What we wonder is how much the trips to school with Sam in the DT car have improved the navigation of his boat or his cars. ELIZABETH G. HATCHER Academic Tests and gym classes frequently find Betty with her pals. Marge and Nancy, pursuing happiness in a different direction. These diversions may include anything from Brubeck to Steve Allen. Hatch hopes to be a Betty Co-ed at either University of Pennsylvania or Penn State Junior Prom Committee 3. WILLIAM RUDD HENDERSON Academic Lititz ' loss was M-N ' s gain, for Rudd, with his alto sax and friendly nature, has become a valuable asset to our school community. Rudd ' s summer pastimes, camping and swimming, have conditioned him for the hardy life of a U. S Forester. Band 4. CONSTANCE G. HIRSCH Commercial One of the greatest disappointments to M-N ' s masculine segment has been Connie ' s singular attention to a favored few, sometimes from rival schools. No doubt Connie has gained this inter -scholastic popu- larity with her pretty hair and diminutive figure, characteristics which twice have made her a fitting Sadie Hawkins wolf -gal.

Any extra time Bruce spends on hobbies ranging from jazz and Bob-and-Ray to ornithology and photography.

Bob seems to be ours, for he keeps pretty much to himself. Most of Bob ' s weekend is spent keeping Horn and Hardart ' s in running condition. His interests include his dog Chip, his black 50 Ford, and music, particularly jazz and rock n roll. Dance Committee 3: Baseball i; Letterman 1. 28 JOHN BOYCE HURFORD Academic This guy is the local version of Rock Hudson, his tall, dark and handsome looks enabling him to be chosen Mr. Heartthrob of 1956. John is hopeful of first graduating from Harvard, then training in law school, and finally working for J. Edgar Hoover.

VIRGINIA LOUISE JOHNSON Academic The common last name of Johnson belies the exceptional good nature and popularity of pretty Ginny.

JAMES BYERS KADEL Academic Kadel, crime photographer, warrants the credit for the MEMORIES ' snapshots, devoting many Saturdays and weeknights to shooting football and basketball action. A good portion of Jim ' s time, both summer and winter, is spent very successfully in competitive swimming. His sights are set on an engineering degree from Lehigh Un- iversity.

D. class time running errands hither and yon for several different teachers. Mac is a mainstay of Doran ' s music-makers, although he ' s tun up quite a bill by punching holes in bass drums. BARBARA FAE MADDOX Commercial The head majorette the last two years started twirling as one of M-N ' s original band batonists., Barbara passes her time horseback riding, driving her troublesome car, and going to Holy Cross. Of course, those daily letters to her soldiet keep her pretty well-occupied.

KATHLEEN MICAELA MULHERN Academic Although Kathy will never be forgotten for her absent-mindedness and naivete ' ] she’ll be remembered better for her positive convictions, her friendliness with teachers and students, and her lovely voice. As de- bate chairman, this Irish lass handled the preparations and introductions very capably. Chorus I, 2, 3, 4: District Chorus 4: Dance Committees 3,4: Debat- ing 4: Mar-News 3,4; Senior Play 4. REGENA M. MURPHY Commercial The first of the Three R ' s is sweet, petite, but studious Regena, who often borrows specs to emphasize the last point. This little girl in the big Buick hopes to go places as a kindergarten teacher from West Chester S. T. C. Her prized possession is a Haverford Banner, Mar-News 4; Tri-Hi-Y 4. JOAN E, REICHERT Commercial Joan is Mr. Harvey’s supply room whiz before school, and, when the 9:00 bell rings, she returns to the books she left last night. Joan has developed her culinary talent fully, the most important reason being to satisfy the appetite of a certain U. S. Mail Cartier. Treasurer 2; Dance Committee 3; Tri-Hi-Y 3,4: Dancing Club 2. JOAN B. REIF Academic The second of the Three R ' s is a future woman-in- chalk, planning on an elementary teaching career. Joan’s diligent reading of the Sunday novel condensations and her position as library typist illustrates her fondness for literature. This Bermuda shorts fan frowns on dissenters and boy-crazy girls. Mar-News 4; Dance Committee 4; Library Aide 4; Tri- Hi-Y 4. 31 I ESTHER RAE ROSS Commercial Rae, last but not least of the Three R ' s, likes many different things. Her interests range from reading astronomy books by the fire to dating the strong, handsome type. Favorites of Rae’s are rock ' n roll, wilted endives, and phone calls from the Lone Star State. Tri-Hi-Y 4; Senior Play 4; Future Homemakers of America 2. RAYMOND HARRY ROWLAND Academic Reserved and calm are Harry’s exterior make-up, but, when there is an errand to be run, whether for the Senior Class or for his father, he doesn’t lose a minute. Harry had devoted four years’ worth of Friday afternoons study- ing organ and piano at the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music. Dance Committee 3; Band i; Orchestra I; Chef Club i; Assistant School Pianist I. JOHN A. SANKEY General Outdoorsman John is also at home socially, enjoying dancing as well as his hunting, fishing, and ice-skating. Looking into his crystal ball, we see that the Navy is prominently in the picture, possibly as a ca- reer. John has two definite peeves: reading from Will Shakespeare and being caught in the rain. CHARLES ALBERT SCHAFFNER Academic Charlie isM-N’s head electrician, giving willingly of his time, talent and equipment to help school functions. He has used this electrical wizardry for fixing TV sets at D. K. and for setting up and maintaining his private radio station, both in preparation for a career in elec- tronics. Dance Committee 3. 32 HELEN MARIE SCHMIDT Commercial Another high-stepping majorette veteran is Helen. Although she miss- ed Joan, Helen made frequent sojourns to Holy Cross or lived it up with her friends, particularly several Junior boys. Saturdays find Helen manning a check-out counter at the Acme in the Square. Majorette 2, 3, 4: Tri-Hi-Y3.4: Dancing Club i. JOHN BROMLEY SELLERS Academic Can we have Young Life at your home tonight? That question can comefrom only one person, J. B. Brewster Sellers.

Dance Committee 3; Football i, 2, 3, 4; Letterman 3, 4; Hi-Y 3 , 4 ; Vice-President 4. STEPHEN RICHARD SELVERIAN Academic Steve is a natural-born leader, captaining football and the monitors, and guarding our Hi-Y funds.

ROBERT EDWARD SMITH General Smitty was a welcome addition from Upper Darby, finishing second only to Feldkircher as top basketball point-maker. Outwardly quietandeven a little girl-shy. Bob does his share of classroom kibitzing. His favorite class is biology (could it be the teacher?). Football 1,2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Letterman 4; Base- ball 1,2. 3, 4. 33 BARBARA M. STEINHOUSE Commercial MAJORIE THURSTON General Marge is another of our girls interested in teaching in the grades. She has used the experience gained in the weekly practice at Swartmote College in teaching swimming, her favorite sport, at a girls ' camp in Maine. Marge prefers Glenn Miller ' s music and Bob Wilson ' s company. Dance Committee 3. Bubbles, one of the best Senior workers inTri-Hi-Y, is always plot- ting some mischievous caper involving others. Getting to practices on time in all three seasons has kept Barbara pleasantly hopping. Her pet worries were staying awake in early morning classes and passing Miss Yeingst ' s punctuation tests.

The absentee king ' s preference in food is limited to steaks and French fries, but his choices of girl friends are based on the adage, There ' s safety in numbers. Dance Committee 2,3: Football 4, Letterman 4; Hobby Models Club i. NANCY JEANNE VAN HORN Commercial Waitressing at the Edgemont Dairy Cottage and driving Dad ' s Pontiac with Pat in the Front seat, this green-eyed Gradyville lass with an Irish temper is frequently moody and quiet. There he is, means that another Texan has bitten the dust at Sandy ' s feet. Dance Committee 3; Chorus I; Dancing Club i. 34 JEAN EVELYN WADLUND General Fascinating but dreamy depicts our Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair. This Modeling School student somehow keeps her trim figure in spite of her constant munching in class. Jean is a member of i-A , Rainbow Girls, and the Chrysler Club.

BERNARD M. WENKE General Deep-voiced Bernie is friendly toward everyone. Cars are almost a full-time occupation with him, for he works part of the time at Kirk Chevy and he spends the rest on his own car. Despite his distaste for history, Bernie likes discussions and speaks freely, using good reasoning. BEVERLY ELIZABETH WOOD Commercial Do you have your homework done ? is the question often heard from this quiet little girl with the big note book. Be assured that Bev ' s workwas always finished. With her neat appearance a nd hard work, her ambition of becom- ing a good secretary should certainly materialize. Dance Committee 3: Senior Chorus 4: Basketball i; Shop Club I; Library Assistant 4; Dancing Club i. I ( 35 BARBARA LYNNE WOOLERY Academic Blushing becomingly is Barb ' s best-known characteristic. She can often be seen pushing” a bowling ball, munching on potato chips, listening to popular music, or planning another of her famous luncheons for her Senior friends. Barb is going to major in French at the University of Miami (Florida). Dance Committee 3; Chorus 3,4; Christmas Card Assistant 4: Hockey 3- ARTHUR WINSLOW WRIGHT Academic Few of his manyfriends can imagine where Art finds time for all the things he does so well.

At the outset of our first sea son with Mr. Bonder and Mr. Williams, the situation looked good for the Tigers. Beginning with a good showing against Radnor and playing bigger schools than ever before, our grid- ders plowed through a stormy season of ups and downs, culminating with a whopping defeat over Nether Pro- vidence, 34-0, and a close Springfield battle in which M-N came out on the short end of a 12-6 score. Mr. Bonder and his staff are looking forward to a better season next year, despite our step-up to Section II, because many of the first eleven will be back. 63 For the first time in several years, Marple-New- town has enjoyed an a I most-undefeated season because of the hard work of every member of the squad . Many thanks are due Mrs. Knox and Miss Blocher for their spirit and effort which have helped the team finish this victorious season. TIGERETTES But Carry FIRST ROW: C. Watson. B. Schaffer, G.

The coaches, Mr. Pittman and Mr. Watson, stressed fundamentals such as tackling and blocking. A tie with Chichester was the high point of the season.

From there the boys fell off the pace until they humbled Up- per Merion by eleven points. Radnor had its hands full in the last league contest, but Kistler and Co. pulled the game out of the fire and went on to cop the District I Championship. ,. r i Coach Dave Williams and his charges merit much credit tor play- ing well under the unique practice arrangements; namely, traipsing daily to enemy Media ' s territory.

The big event of the year was the annual cheerleading competition at Norristown, where M-N ' rs have received excellent ratings in the past. Four members will be lost by graduation, but it is certain that those remain- ing are more than capable of cheering our teams on to victory. 74 TOP: K. Grantham, B. G. Hawkins, A. Ortlip, Capt. S.

This year President Debbie Wallace and the Council sponsored such projects as Christmas decorations, several school dances, and a lunchtime recreation program. Progressive steps taken this year by our Council were our joining the National Student Council Union and our sending of several delegates to the annual convention of that organization. 78 UP FRONT 4 k M Revamped Paper Interests Students The Mar-News staff started a busy year with sponsors, Mr. Curtis and Miss Koletas.

In December, the girls visited the Chester Day Nursery, taking Santa Claus and a pack of giffs with them. On Friday evenings in the fall and spring, the club sponsored canteen and several special dances.

We have done our best but can only be rewarded if these hundred pages have captured for you, as for us, the happiness and troubles shared as carefree M-N ' ers. Little, however, could have become reality without the unfailing co-operation and encouragement of many persons. They all helped wonderfully, but special thanks are due the following: Mr. Rathey and Mr. Worrall, for their excellent leadership; our advisors, for their patient guidance; and, most of all. Miss Helen Yeingst, for her unselfish contri- bution of time and talent in the preparation of MEMORIES and the well-timed advice she gave her children, helping them to enter adulthood much the wiser. Please accept these thanks from a grateful class for making our years with you at Marp I e- Newtown the best years of our lives. Good Luck, Betty, Martha, Bill, and Art. 99 ncettcU eifred The merchant’s and business men of the Marple- Newtown area and surrounding townships play a big role in MEMORIES.
