Many Seniors, seemingly at the end of the line, received some much appreciated guidance and solace from Mr. Hoss- man. A Dartmouth graduate, Ralph Hossman came to Perkiomen as a faculty member in 1950. ln l95l, he took on the added responsibility of Director of Courses, the position Which he now holds. Mr. Hossman is also kept busy as the master of Kehs Hall. Hailing from Blandford, Massachusetts, Hossie, as he has been affectionately nicknamed by the students, held sev- eral positions in both the educational and journalistic Worlds before coming to Perkiomen. lt is the sincere Wish of the Class of l953, that those who follow in years to come will have the opportunity to know Mr. l-lossman as We did. We therefore dedicate this book to Ralph Hossman, paying tribute to a fine teacher, an inspirational leader, and a loyal friend. SENIOR WIG-WAM KEHS HALL Another year at Perlciomen is fact coming to a close with the graduation of 45 Seniors, boys who are now better prepared to face the problems of a new world. All of you have learned the lesson of industry and thoroughness in daily work. We believe that Perkiomen has taught you to meet objectively the most pressing problems and we know that in the future, you will bring credit to your Alma Mater and to the masters who have worked so diligently with you. Today, as never before, the World is calling for leaders who are imbued with high ethical standards, with vision, and a loyalty to the principles of democracy. Each of you will be placed as a guard at the gate of Freedom. Guard it Well and do not become confused by outside forces who speak with strange tongues. America today has a mission and you are a vital part of the plan. As We send you out to meet the challenge, We feel confident that, with the Perkiomen seal imbedded in your heart, you will serve your country and your God with your best effort. STEPHEN W.

Many of you have learned to face responsibilities and to judge facts for yourselves Without relying too much on others' opinions. The faculty has seen areat progress in your ability to adjust yourself to the school environment and to your fellow student. The class-room and the athletic field have taught you to be more self-reliant and confident. lncreasinq interests in literature, music, sports, and hobbies should help you to enjoy life more fully. Try to acquire a qood sense of perspective so that you can sort out the grain from the chaff. Remember that you are now part of a long tradition, which you must live up to. By doinq so, you will make us proud of you. May you achieve all the success that you desire. Sincerely, HENRY A. SMITH ,Y--Xxx Zaglvkww V AZN will QQ x I f 1, I X s WIS, X 4 X 'tl ' I X.

The Class of l954, under the advisorship of Mr. Heck, has had a most successful year. Starting early, the Class took third place in the Skit night program of the Homecoming Weekend with a hilarious takeoff on TV wrestling, starring the Battling Creampuff, Willie Kettles, and Roaring Rodri. 'lhe highlight of the year for the Class, and for many in the school who attended, was the lunior Prom in March. Thanks to the yeoman service of George Simonds and W'alter Williamson, the Gym was decorated beautifully in blue and white, and the band was perhaps the best of the year. john Bitzer served as Class President until March, when Dulaney Hill took over the reins. Dave Evans did a creditable job as Secretary, While Willie Kettles handled the finances. . fa.. 'sggigtff ' W t 534552 . W. Hill, Vice Pres.: W. Kettles, Treasg D. Evans, Sec.

The class ot l955 will probably best be remembered as the Wild Perkiomen lndians who overran this school in the skit contest during Homecoming Week- end. They won and are already making plans for winning next year's contest. A group that has 'worked together with great eagerness and class spirit, they organized early in the school year and began working on several projects. They found a way to build up the funds in the class treasury by making sandwiches in their tree time and selling them throughout the dormitories after study hall. They initiated a class Christmas party in December, and are now making plans tor a class outing this spring, because they teel they should get together as much tor tun as tor work on a skit or a dance or a money- making project.

Most of its mem- bers are first year men at Perkiomen, and are intending to be in the family three more years, before departing to college. This year the class put on a show about Peter Hoff, one of the Frosh, who was a little reluctant to Wear the tie and beany, but this was all in fun. The show was a great success and the boys enjoyed producing it very much. The class president, Arno Suckau, a native of Guatemala, has done an excellent job. Some of the boys have been very active in sports at Perkiomen, Willard Reinhard was on the l.V. football team and is now on Varsity Track, Arthur McCauley was on the i.V. football team, Varsity Wrestling and is now on Varsity Track, Probert Winston is another one of our very fine athletes. Bob has partaken in I.V. football, Varsity Wrestling and is now engaged in Varsity Track. The entire class has taken full advantage ot what Perkiomen has to offer. A, Suckau, Pres., W.

On Homecoming Day the Iuniors Went to town and constructed a lively lawn exhibit, as well as a skit. The skit placed fifth in the competition, while the lawn display took third place. When both Mr. Wightman and Mrs. Perkins left, they were replaced by Mr. Hrisko and Mr. Thomas, who was named as Headmaster. Mr. Thomas incorporated a Merit System which proved very effective. Music was taught by Mr. Eby, and Mr. Edgerton's art classes were most interesting. Athletic periods were held four times a week. On the whole the year has been one of the most successful the Iunior School has ever had, thanks to a large student body and a fine faculty. NX J Mfsaw W J TI-IE GRIFFIN I9 Back Row, l. to r.: Asst.

Griffin Staff The GRIFFIN Staff is responsible for this book. It has been their job, with the faculty assistance of Messrs. Edgerton and Arndt, and the leadership of Editor-in-chief Bill Applegate, Photography Editor Mike Donegan, and Feature Editor Mike Lasser, to turn out a yearbook worthy of the Class of 1953. The staff, made up mostly of Seniors, Worked many hours on the book. The mainstays of the staff are Bill Applegate, Mike Donegan, Mike Lasser, Ierry Roberts, Robert Fiore and Ken Popper. Helping greatly in assuring the financial success of the GRIFFIN was the business staff, headed by Business Manager loe Nagy. Ioe was assisted by Iack Strick, Roger Hesser and Mark Rosenfield. We of the staff have tried to do something different this year. We have departed from the forms used by books of the past. We have tried, and We hope successfully, to add that extra pinch of salt, that needed something, which will make this year's GRIFFIN a vehicle With which you will be able to glance back over your days at Perkiomen. In closing, We Wish to thank Mr. Edgerton and Mr. Arndt for their untiring efforts, and to you, the students, we hope you will enjoy this book as much as We have enjoyed recreating for you, your year at Perkiomen.

The Perkiomenite The PERKIOMENITE, as usual, has been one of the most active, if not the most active, organizations on the campus of Perkiomen school. Very early in the school year Mr. Hossman, the faculty advisor, and ferry Roberts, the editor-in-chief, called a meeting of all those interested in journalism. A few of last year's staff returned, but the larger portion of the '53 staff was new. On October 20, the first issue was circulated. Following papers were published on November l, November 22, December 24, March 14, and a final Com- mencement issue on May 29. This was one of the most active years for any Perkiomenite staff in many years. The circulation was increased so that it would cover completely the students and parents, and partially the alumni. Many new ideas were presented, which were all well accepted. Throughout the year the PERKIOMENITE has attempted to bring enjoyment, news, and articles of interest to all connected with Perkiomen.

Student Senate This year's Student Senate has been called by our Headmaster, and by many of our other teachers, Perkiomen's most active Senate. lt was found by our faculty to be a most useful instrument in the running of the school. The running of study halls during faculty meetings, the running of a dance, and the handling of Senior privileges are just a few of duties the Senate was called upon to do during the past year. Each time the Senate was asked to do a job, they responded quickly and efficiently. For once the Student Senate became more than just a name, it became a useful organization. lt leaves behind it not only a brilliant reputation, but also a few illustrious members. With several outstanding underclassmen as a foundation, we hope to see a new and finer Senate grow through the years. We of the Class of l953 have drawn the plans. It is up to our predecessors to complete the construction. THE GRIFFIN 1953 Left to Right: Canuso, Mazzeo. D. Evans, Schweidel, Wilson, Gill, Mantz, J. Dunn, Gobell, W. Dunn. Waiters Besides Waiting on tables all year, the waiters sponsored the year's first dance, The Holly Hop, on December l5. One of the high spots of the school year was the Waiters' masquerade on HalloWe'en niqht. It completely sur- prised everyone and it Was very Well received. The Waiters do not have an easy job. They deserve our thanks for their fine performance. The Waiters include: Dick Wilson, Ronnie Ressler, Ioe Gill, Bill Dunn, Iim Dunn, Brian Gobell, lim Schweidel, Dave Evans, Harry Mantz and Ioe Mazzeo. THE GRIFFIN l9 Glee Club The Perkiomen Glee Club this year is the product of the earnest concen- tration and diligent directing of Richard A. Wilson, who acted as Student Choral Director. Specializing in new versions of favorite hymns and spirituals, the Glee Club sang for a Morning Chapel Service, and during the Brotherhood Week Activities in February. A highlight of the school year was the success- ful Christmas Vespers on December 13 which featured Wilson as Baritone soloist, Robert Witwer as pianist and Mr. Eby at the console of the organ to tell the Story of Christmas in Scripture and Music, with choral background. Michael Lasser, Kenneth Popper and Michael Dellinger acted as readers, with Iohn Byrnes, Robert Ellis, Forrest Phillips, Kenneth Cornman and lay Lehman as soloists. Several concerts, including the Spring Concert on May lst at Upper Perkiomen Ioint High School, completed a successful and profitable season. The Perkiomen Lamplighters - an octet of boys under the direction of Mr. Eby, who also served as accompanist for the group - enjoyed a schedule of appearances throughout the year in various high schools and for club meetings. A total of twenty-five programs of both a secular and religious nature was presented. Always using as their theme song, The Old Lamp- lighter, the group sang for a Vesper Program in the Presbyterian Church of Coatesville and for high school groups in nearby towns. The group was enter- tained and well-received wherever they appeared. Songs by Mrs. Roberts were always featured, as they had been Written for the group by Mrs. Roberts. The group was composed of lohn Byrnes, Kenneth Cornman, Richard Creitz, William Cesareo, Robert Ellis, Thomas Fritsche, Forrest Phillips, David King and Robert Witwer. ln a year of strenuous activity and many appearances before clubs, church groups, high school assemblies and social gatherings, Richard Wilson, among many other auditions, was heard by Dr. Reinald Werrenrath. of Riverside Drive, New York City, who is remembered for his countless Victor recordings and famous concerts throughout the world. Dr. Werrenrath was enthusiastic concerning Wilson's future and Mr. Eby renewed a friendship from his early days at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, where Dr. Werrenrath was a favorite teacher.

Caballeros In the fall ot l952 a singing group was formed, which Was something new in Perkiomen history. The Caballeros, Spanish for Gentlemen, Were originally grouped in response to a request from the Spring City Lions Club for a program of an international nature. Under the supervision of Doctor Ketcham, the group met and decided to sing songs of their native countries. From this beginning, the Caballeros Went on to become one of the most popular of the Perkiomen musical organizations. After the successful engage- ment at Spring City, a performance which earned the group a new set of Maracas, hollow gourds which are used for rhythm, they sang at the Central Schwenkfelder Church, at the Red Hill Lions Club, at the Homecoming Week- end Skit Night, and at the Upper Perkiomen Valley Lions Club in East Green- ville. All of these performances were enthusiastically received, as Well as those within the school for the Pennsburg Women's Club, and the alumni. The musical arrangements, direction, and accompaniment were handled by Mr. Arndt in a way that made each rehearsal and performance more like a pleasant gathering for song than a Work-period. The Caballeros, by their inception, have added immeasurably to the life of the school, both by giving an insight into the Ways of other countries, and by providing a joint project for all South American students.

Science Club During the year l952-53, the Science Club was building toward a new organization. As a result, the club functioned sometimes at half speed, some- times at breakneck pace. During most meetings, the club passed the time assembling and dissembling the Oldsmobile engine which the club owns. They did various experiments in the Physics Laboratory, experiments which proved very interesting. The group early divided up into separate interest clubs, con- centrating on rockets, automobile activities, chemistry, aeronautics, and biology. Although this is only the third year that Perkiomen has had a Science Club, the organization was a success, particularly due to the help of its officers: Bob Stetfenson, Presidenty Marvin Weizer, Vice-President, Harry Hartzell, Secre- tary: and Harold Weisselberg, Treasurer. Too much cannot be said tor our advisor, Mr. F. Lytle, who helped greatly in making the Science Club a success. THE GRIFFIN 19 Kneeling: White, Mowery, Dellinger, DeYoung.

Modeling Club This year, with the sanction ot Mr. Roberts, a Modeling Club Was started at Perkiomen. The members are boys interested in building model planes, cars, boats, and trains. ln spite ot the large selection ot choices, most ot the boys are mainly interested in constructing model airplanes. The workshop facilities were donated by Mr. Roberts, who has shown great interest in the club. ln tact, the shop is located in the basement ot the l-leadmasters home. This year has been a tirst in respect to the Modeling Club, but it has caught on with the students and Will definitely make a sizable contribution to Perkiomen's extracurricular activities program in years to come.

Four of the games were close. With a few breaks at the proper moment, several defeats might have been turned into victories. At the close of the season, Ioe Bodri and Iohn Beazley were elected co-captains. Both men played fine ball all season. Special commendation should be awarded Coaches Beck and Morehouse for such a fine job with an inexperienced eleven. To the graduating seniors- A job well done! To the returning players and coaches- Lots of luck in '53! GAMES PERKIOMEN 12--ST. FRANCIS 6 The season started on a bright note for the Purple dr Gold as they pounded out a 12-6 decision over a stubborn St. Francis aggregation. First half scores for the Reckmen were tallied by Wilson and Beazley. Despite a third quarter score by the Saints, they never quite got back in the game. PERKIOMEN 12-EPISCOPAL 13 Perkiomen, having its first taste of defeat, dropped a heart-breaker to Episcopal Academy. Tallies again were registered by Beazley and Wilson. Outstanding for the Indians were the passing of Dunn and the line play of Rodri. PERKIOMEN 6-STEVENS TRADE 26 Putting up a gallant, but losing battle against a Stevens Trade team, Perkiomen went down to defeat, 26-6. Three first period scores iced the game for the Traders, but the fine passing of Dunn kept the Perks in the game throughout most of the afternoon. PERKIOMEN 7-ADMIRAL FARRAGUT 13 In the traditional homecoming day tilt, Perkiomen was upset by an aggres- sive Farragut eleven. The opposition won on a short pass in the closing seconds of play. Thomas scored the gridders only TD following a long pass from Dunn. PERKIOMEN 7-WEST CHESTER STATE TEACHERS I. V. 18 Shining in defeat, Perkiomen fell before the West Chester State Teachers College I. V., I8-7. Perkiomen scored early on a 52 yard run by Mazzeo. However, the Indians could not hold the lead as the experience and know-how of the Teachers payed off. PERKIOMEN 13-VALLEY FORGE 0 In the surprise of the year, Perkiomen upset a highly favored Valley Forge team, 13-O. Neither team was able to gain much yardage because of the muddy field and steady downpour. Scores were racked up by Beazley and Dunn. The team play, for which the Purple 61 Gold had been striving, was reached against the Forgers. ' PERKIOMEN 7-PENNINGTON 12 Closing the season out against Pennington's Bed Raiders, Perkiomen Prep dropped another close decision, this time by a 12-7 count. Mantz's fine punting helped greatly in keeping the Reckmen in the ballgame. By the time Mantz scored for Perkiomen in the final stanza, the Red had scored two TD's and were next to unbeatable.

Perkiomen was the superior team in most of the contests but they could never seem to break through with the crucial tally. The mainstays of the aggregation were Captain Alberto Landazaba, who was high scorer with five tallies, Arturo Santos, Humberto Jiminez, John Bitzer, Willie Kettles, Dan Schadt, Bob Priebe, and Mark Rosenfield. This year's squad was an inexperienced one. With the return of six players, includ- ing such standouts as John Bitzer, Willie Kettles, and Dan Schadt, the team should fare much better next year. GAMES Perkiomen-1 North Wales-2 Opening the season on a bitter note, Perkiomen fell before North Wales high school, 2-1. Perkiomen was definitely the better team, but the Indians did not seem to have it in the clutch. Fiore tallied for the booters in the third stanza. Perkiomen-2 Episcopal-1 Scoring quickly in both the first and second cantos, Perkiomen dumped Episcopal, 2-1. Many times it seemed as if Episcopal would break the Redmen defense to deadlock the contest. The game was a thriller and could have gone either way. Landazabal and Velez racked up the points for the Perks. Perkiomen-6 Pennington-3 Captain Alberto Landazabal, scoring three points, led the Wingerdmen to a 6-3 rout over Pennington. The Red, unable to run with the speedier Indians, found themselves behind almost from the opening face-off. Santos, Velez, and Jiminez also scored. Perkiomen-2 I-Iill-3 Fighting had against a more experienced Hill aggregation, the Perkiomen booters lost by a close 3-2 count. Hill was well out in front, 3-0, at the end of three stanazs. In the final period, however, the Indians began to move. Tallies by Velez and Kettles followed in rapid succession. Had time not run out, it was evident that the Purple and Gold would have achieved at least a tie. Perkiomen-1 Blair-1 Again the stronger team, Perkiomen was held to a 1-1 deadlock by a sometimes over- anxious Blair team. The Perks were held scoreless in the initial half. Down by one marker, Perkiomen finally broke the ice on a direct free kick from the foot of Alberto Landazabal. Both defenses then tightened up and neither team could tally again. Perkiomen-1 Pemmigton-3 Closing out the season against Pennington, Perkiomen lost to the Red and Black, 3-1. Startled by the rejuvenated Pennington team, Perkiomen soon found themselves behind by two markers. Santos scored the Perk's only point in the second period. The Red scored again in the third canto, closing out the day's scoring. Perkiomen 1 North Wales 2 Won Lost Tied Pct.

Tl-IE GRIFFIN i9 3 Varsity Basketball Coach Dewey Morehouse's 1952-53 Basketball squad provided Perkiomen with one of the most colorful teams, if not the most successful, in tha school's history. Although a tall team, lack of experience and a weak bench proved to be the deciding factor in many games, Henry Big Man Corcoran, lanky 6' 6 pivot, led the team in scoring with 229 points, while John Beazley, Aipps Applegate, Dumphy Dunn, and Spider Schweidel balanced off behind him with averages of ten points or better per game. Pennington Chornel - Following the long Christmas vacation, the Indians won their first game from Pennington in a hard-fought 54-46 battle. Corcoran led with 18 points. Admiral Farragut - On the road for the first time, the Perkiomen netsters returned home with a startling 74-68 victory over the sailors. Bill Dunn grabbed 05 high honors for the day, while Beazley, Schweidel, and Applegate balanced in the double figures. Unsung hero of the day was Bob Priebe, who filled in for foul-ridden Corcoran with a fierce game. 'Stevens Trade Qhomeb -- For their third victory in a row, the cagers toppled a favor- ed, Stevens outfit on a last-quarter spurt. Before a Purple and Gold Weekend crowd, the team 'was at its best, with Biggie Munn CorcoraIn's 24 points high for the day. Reading Central Catholic fawayl - With a 5-2 record at stake, before a large crowd of Redding fans and a busload of Perkiomenites, the 'team rose to the high point of the season. Startling shooting from the floor broke the back of the Reading attackg Perkiomen jumped ahead of the fighting Cardinals and was never headed after that. With Dunn and Corcoran sweeping the boards, the free scoring of Applegate and Beazley couldn't be stopped. Hill - Following a tough loss to Wyoming, the Indians came back to put up a valiant try against the powerful Hillers. Leading for three quarters, the Indians faltered in the last quarter under fire from the copious Hill bench and the constant driving of Giant Jim Radcliffe. Valley Forge Chomeb -- An inspired Perkiomen team, fighting to regain early season form, tangled in a sensational ball game with the Cadets. Bering, the Soldiers' right for- ward, proved too hot to handle, dropping a total of 46 points. Tied up in the final seconds, the game went into overtime, only to have the superior conditioning of the Cadets come to bear for a final count of 102-94. Reading Central thomeb - Reading started a squad of next-year men, thus providing easy fodder for the hungry Indians, breaking a seven-game losing streak and ending the season with a 7-9 record. Before the game, Bill Applegate was elected Captain for the year. Scoring Record Corcoran H-Perkiomen Episcopal L 51 Beazley ..... ....

Tl-IE GRIFFIN 1953 Wrestling OH Paper, P0rki0men's wrestling team had a poor season, but with seven varsity let- termen and seven J.V. lettermen returning next year, Coach Edgerton considers this a year of invaluable experience. Only two former lettermen answered the November call, co-captains Will Kettles and Jim Dunn, but prospects were bolstered by three experienced boys from other schools. The other seven weights were thrown open to some twenty eager, but inexperienced aspirants. After a month of practice the squad first tried their tricks on New York Military Academy. Inexperience told here as the Indians bowed, 29-11. Art McCauley, 103 pounder, wrestling for the Hrst time in his life, launched his sensational season successfully, as did Ken Hoy and Dan Schadt. The next sally, with Valley Forge saw Perkiomen smash out a 28-18 victory. Tom Schultz won easilyg Ken Hoy threw victim number two, and Dan Lambert turned in an impressive pin. Abington High, perennial District I champ, was next, but the home groaners were forced by P.I.A.A. rules to leave their seniors out of the line-up. Only Jack Fasolino wcn as Abington triumphed, 40-3. Perkiomen met mighty Stevens Trade, unbeaten all season and bowed 37-10. Art McCauley and Ken Hoy scored the only victories. Unfortunately this was Ken Hoy's last match with Pekiomen, as he left school to join the Air Force. His loss was a blow to the Indians since his feats on the mat were slightly legendary. However, the grapplers tangled with tough Haverford School, also unbeaten in the season's competition. Perkiomen fell 40-10. Joe Rodri began his long winning streak here that was to carry him to the championship. George School and Bryn Athyn were next, both dealing stunning blows to the Indians, 26-12 and 28-8, re- spectively. Will Kettles and Jim Dunn scored impressive wins against George and Joe Rodri disposed of two more victims. All losing streaks must end, so Perkiomen heaped all its vengeance on Admiral Farragut Academy. Jim Dunn's pin and Joe Rodri's crowd stirring victory at heavyweight clinched the victory 19-17. Tom Schultz won the hearts of the fans as he came from behind to win. Pingry School turned the tables again and beat the Indians 23-14. Will Kettles won handily as did Fasolino, Schultz and Rodri. The dual meet season ended with Episcopal Academy tying Perkiomen 19-19. Tom Schutz won another crowd thriller and Joe Rodri scored the upset of the season beating Episcopal's undefeated Bob Bickell. The Inter-Academic Tournament at Episcopal proved the highlight of the year as eight teams vied for the championship honors. After two days of gruelling run-offs, Perkiomen emerged with a champion, Joe Rodri at 175 poundsg two runner-ups, Jack Fasolino at 145 and Tom Schultz at 133: and three fourth placers, 103 pound Art McCauley, 127 pound Bob Winston, and heavyweight John Byrnes. The team, as a whole, finished in fifth place. Art McCauley ended the season as high point scorerg Joe Rodri was elected as the most improved wrestler on the squadg and Jack Fasolino was elected captain for 1954. E GRIFFIN l9 Front Row: Mgr.

Standing: Olsen, Evans, Rosenfield, Roberts, Simonds, Apple- gate, Henry, Fiore. , Tennis Despite the lack of experienced players, hopes are high for a successful Tennis season. When Coach Smith issued the call for candidates early in April, only Applegate, Evans, and Henry retumed from last season: While the outstanding newcomers seem to be Fiore, Roberts, Rosentield, and Olsen. An early season Victory over St. Francis was a bright sign and the play of Fiore, Henry, and Applegate has been especially impressive. Regardless of the team's final record, it promises to be a hustling outfit. This has been the trademark for any team coached by Mr. Smith in the past ten years that he has been Tennis mentor at Perkiomen. THE GRIFFIN 1953 First Row: Brenner, Mantz, Ressler, Reinhard, Mazzeo, Hesser, J. Dunn, Rodri, Beazley, Kettles. Second Row: B.

Fourth Row: Evans, Mgr., Steiner, Mgr., Coach Kirk, Coach Weikel, Carbutt, Mgr. Track Team The 1953 edition of Perkiomen's track team opened its season on the Wind-swept, rain-drenched track of George School. The battle against the elements coupled with a good George School squad spelled defeat for the Purple and Gold. The squad took the defeat in stride and pointed for its second dual meet. Unfortunately, Keystone Iunior College cancelled and the rebounding squad was left without an opponent at a crucial point during the season. Ieffrey Kirk joined the coaching staff of the team this year. His many years of track experience, including his membership on the 1948 Olympic squad, will no doubt help smooth the path the team is to follow. Coaches Weikel and Kirk have a good nucleus to work with this year. Ronnie Ressler in the Weights, Bill Kettles in the mile, lim Dunn in the Pole Vault and Skip Reinhard are all veterans from last year's team. The lettermen will Welcome newcomers Harry Mantz, Joe Rodri, Ice Mazzeo, Roger Hesser and Iohn Beazley, who should mold into a good representative team. T E GRIFFIN 1953 Kneeling: Fasolino, Anderson.

Football IV Football in 1952 was a sport filled with thrills, even though short on vic- tories. Starting the season, Perkiomen bowed to the Schwenksville Varsity, 19-13. Close right down to the last seconds, this game was notable tor the broken arm of Quarterback Dick Chervenak, replaced by erstwhile Guard Iim Schweidel. The second loss went to The Hill Thirds. Playing against a cool single- wing, the split-T Perkiornenites, coached by Mr. Swavely and Mr. Arndt, held the issue in doubt till the last moments of play before bowing 13-7. Highlight of the day was Bill Applegate's off-tackle slant for sixty yards behind beautiful blocking by the Flying Dutchman, Bob Webber. Again against the Royerstord High School lunior Varsity, Perkiomen show- ed great spirit. With Bob Winston, spinning Halfback and Chuck Pestcoe's dog- ged line work the lV's tied 13-13. The last two games of the season were with the East Greenville High School Thirds and IV's. ln the first we fought to a 6-6 tie, while in the second game the well-trained Valleymen rolled up the only convincing score of the season. In the second game, Scott Drysdale took over at Quarterback and played a promising game in this 32-0 loss. Captains for the season were lack Fasolino and Tex Anderson, stalwarts at Fullback and End respectively. THE GRIFFIN 19 Back Row: Coach Reck, Arter, Simonds, Oberson, Hill, D. Evans. Front Row: Mgr. Blitz, Mazzeo, Drysdale, Shaw, Mohler, Velez. Mgr. Radack. Kneeling: Capt. Mowery. l. V. Basketball Although the layvees had an unsuccessful season, the record C3-lll does not tell the whole story. lt was an inexperienced five with very few players who had ever played interscholastic basketball before. lt was a hustling, fighting five that never gave up until the final whistle. The team's best show- ing was against St. Francis. Trailing slightly throughout the contest, they suddenly caught fire, passing the Saints with but two minutes left in the game. With Al Mowery and Dave Evans supplying most of the scoring punch, the Iayvees picked up another win over St. Francis and a victory over Devon School. This year's layvee team, with a little more experience, should supply the Varsity with several good ballplayers in the next few seasons. Al Mowery, the team's high scorer, was elected Captain just before the leam's final game.
