X PUELRLREZAAN fame 7750 PPLCDLOGUE Terrified sophomores, We! How We trembled as We first entered the strange, Wide halls of P. S.! Would We ever be as tall and dignified as those seniors? Re- gretfully we decided that We never would. From the safe distance of more than three years, We can now laugh at our misgivings. Yes, We did be- come seniors! And We are glad it took us three entire years. How else could We have had so much fun? Though always pressed for time, We served on the Library Squad and took part in the Senior Play, along with studying American history. We remember the agony of the Thanksgiving Day football game, our trials in typing with ten thumbs, and last minute cram- ming for a science exam. But best of all We remember the friendships we made as We Worked and laughed together with our classmates at P. S. duPont High School. These we will always remember, for they are recorded in this PIERREAN. -43 Q 'F- We, the senior class ot l95U, Wish to dedicate this our year book to Mr. Samuel P. Maroney, who has done so much in his first year as our principal to improve the standards of Pierre S. duPont High School, - . as j' President l2A Class May your yearbook bring you memories ot friends, incidents, and inspirations. lt has been both a privilege and a pleas- ure to have been permitted to share in your work and play. Now that you are nearing the end ol your high school career, may your Commencement be a happy and long remembered benediction. May the future, for each one ol you, be an overflowing measure ot health, happiness and success. Good luck and Godspeed. Zjafqgfff Dear Friends of l95O, It is with real regret that I say Goodbye to the class of 1950. I have known many of you intimately through the years, and shall miss the association with you which has always been so pleasant. You have made an enviable record for scholarship, leader- ship and character. I am sure, as you leave us for broader fields ot training and service, that you will maintain these same high standards of character and achievement. My active interest and good wishes go with you, always. Sincerely yours, ...wr G3 MW As you go forth from the halls of Pierre S. duPont School, I hope you will remember some of the pleasant times we have had together. I wish that each one of you will achieve happiness and contentment. May you always strive to be useful citizens in our great democracy. I have enjoyed being one of your coun- selors, and my earnest desire is that you will always look upon me as a friend. Guidance Counselor JWMW4 As the end of your senior year draws near, my thoughts revert to the many pleasant school experiences we have shared. May you carry into your future endeavors the same enthusiasm and spirit of helpful- ness which you have shown in your activi- ties here. In so doing, your lives will be enriched by the joy which comes from deeds well done. For you all, I wish happiness and success in the years to come. Guidance Counselor 45425 f? 7 'ff 12B STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS To promote unity of school spirit, pupil support of activities, and to serve the school in every possible way is the purpose of the Student Council. Active membership consists of one representative from each homeroom, who presents the problems or ques- tions of each homeroom and in turn reports the decisions of the council. Seated Harold Gatewood, president Standing Ianet Smith, vice-president Frank Ba lis, treasurer Carolyn Slirland, secretary, .F-wx Each representative is required to W, serve on one of the standing commit- tees: athletic, social service, club, pro- ject, publicity, social, or lost and found. Part of its regular program consists of attending the meetings of the Phila- delphia Suburban Student Council Association and the New Castle County Student Council Association, where problems common to all the member schools are discussed. The giving of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets occupies a perma- nent place on the calendar. This year, baskets brought cheer and holiday greetings to thirty-three families at Thanksgiving and fourteen families at Christmas. For the needy all over the world, the Council sent one hundred and four Red Cross boxes, Another job of the Council is to maintain a budget. This is done by sponsoring various activities, for ex- ample, the annual sale of Student Association tickets brings in the lar- gest single collection. School dances and various sports are other sources of revenue. These projects could not be carried out if the Council did not have the undi- vided support of the students. Those of us who were members of the Student Council feel that we not only were of service to the school, but that We gained valuable exper- ience necessary in our future lives.

Sev- eral years from now, when members of the class of '50 are leafing through their PIERREAN, can't you imagine shrieks of Did I really look like that'? , as the picture symbolizing their gay, carefree high school days grins up from the page at them? As the years pass by, can't you picture the amusement of children who've unearthed their mother's or father's 1950 PIERREAN? The fashions that we were so proud of, the way we combed our hair, and the groovy lingo are certain to be the cause for future chuckles. This naturally brings up the unavoidable subject of PIERREAN pictures. What pangs of anguish the sen- iors experienced as they bemoaned the unbelievable truths revealed by Lorstan's proofs! Dick Hughes and Kay Winkler, business editors, really had a job herding everyone down to Lorstan's for the ordeal of having pictures taken. It was a great day at P. S, when the various school organizations trooped en masse to the front steps and displayed dazzling smiles for the benefit of the man up on the ladder. Ioe Koffenberger and Dick Everts, staff photog- raphers, sneaked around with their trusty cameras catch- ing snaps of unsuspecting seniors for our yearbook. The literary staff, headed by Lois-Karen Clark, Iack Loose, and Barbara Eisenstat, ploughed through every- thing from pet peeves to favorite sayings on the ques- tionnaires for personality sketches. The answers given by some jokesters for special accomplishments added to the joy of the literary staff. Pasting honors go to Ed Casey, Ernie Peoples, and Dick Singley who pasted in strips of the pictures of the entire senior section. Although it was a lot of work, the PIERREAN staff had fun editing a yearbook which they hope the class of '50 will enjoy.

Loolcmg Forward X26 PROLOGUE Time: 1975 Place: The four corners of the earth The spirit of the Class of 1950, Pierre S. duPont High has just received an invitation to the Silver Anniversary of his class. A few memories of his happy high school days remain vivid in his mind, but now. through a diary unearthed from the attic, he recalls num- erous exciting experiences of those memorable days. Reminscing about past activities and acquaintances as he scans through these entries gives him a sense of ex- hilaration as well as a sense of curiosity about his friends and'their accomplishments in the past years. SOPHOMORE YEAR Late August. 1947 Received homeroom assignment in the mail. Nobody else has the same room-wonder if,l'll know anybody! Ten more days of vacation left! September. 1947-the first day Arrived at the front door of P. S, duPont at 8:15- saw gangs of kids. At 8:30, assembled in auditorium. Mr. Talbot, Mr. Maroney, and Dr. Pickett welcomed us. Student Council representatives took us to our homerooms. P. S. is a BIG place. In all the classes, the teachers handed out little white slips and signed our cards. With all the broom closets and incinerators numbered, it's easy to get lost. Someone actually ended up in 324 fa broom closetj for biology! Guides and maps would be appreciated, October. 1947 P. S. is just like home now. Everyone's playing hoc- key and football. lack Wiberg, Larry Glaeser, Ed and Dan Casey represent the sophomores on the football squad, Ioe Koffenberger and Don Zebley are managers. We heard the World Series during Latin and biol- ogy, thanks to the P. A. November. 1947 Our first class officers are Harold Gatewood, presi- dent, layne Banks, vice-president, janet Smith, secre- tary, and lack Wiberg, treasurer. The Class of Iune '50 held its tenth year reception lor parents and teachers. A musical program in the auditorium and refreshments in the cafeteria were the highlights. Those in charge of committees were: pro- gram, Mary Lou Matthes and Frank White, decorations, Doris Carmichael and Charles Mardecz, refreshments, Shirley Thomas and Bill Culver. Thanksgiving. 1947 Yesterday-wow! We started off with a serious as- sembly sponsored by the Iunior Class, then we col- lected the Thanksgiving baskets. The din from the auditorium later really showed our school spirit, as all 1,400 of us raised P. S.'s roof! At the Pre-Victory Dance, the football queen was crowned. We won't forget the bonfire and snake dance. Today as we sat down to the turkey, we were still cheering duPont's 28-13 vic- tory over W. 1-1. S. Christmas. 1947 Wasn't Christmas at P. S. wonderful? That was the nicest celebration ever. First off, the seniors gave a pageant, then homeroom parties and food! The best part was the carol sing, led by Mr. Talbot, a perfect end ,to the old year and a wonderful beginning for the vacation. I I I lanuary. 1948 Basketball's the big sport news in both gyms. Sophomores on the squad are Frank White, lack Iordin, George Gorsuch, Wilson Boyer, Ed Casey, Dan Casey, lack Loose, and Harold Gatewood. Girls' Leader Corps tryouts are also in full swing. Student Council elections, campaigns, and posters are the big issues right now. Posters, promises, and campaign speeches in the auditorium and gyms make us well aware of the candidates' qualifications. All this is new to us who haven't been here before. Spring. 1948 All the girls knit argyles, and wear huge hair rib- bons fastened in the back, skirts skim the floor. The New Look is upon us, and we outdo each other as the slaves of fashion. This is all very pleasing to the females, but most aggravating to the men, who have bleached their forelocks in retaliation. Instead of spend- ing most of the lunch hour in the gym, we wander out in the parking lot to daydream. Soap operas via port- able radio waft through study hall, and geometry seems harder than ever. Yes, spring fever! Memorial Day. 1948 The Sophomore Class gave -its annual Memorial Day Assembly. The stage decorations and program did credit to Carolyn Dickerson and Lois-Karen Clark, dec- orating chairmen and lane Dempsey and Dick Mooney. program chairman. Our guests were Dr. I. Raymond Baker, speaker, and The Gold Star Mothers. Iune. 1948 The seniors have graduated, we' are now IUNIORS! On the last day of school we celebrated by an all day outing at Riverview Beach. We visited school just long enough to get our reports, then we piled into the buses for New jersey, Now for three months of fun, fellow juniors! IUNIOR YEAR September 9. 1948 We are the lunior Class! Entering P. S.'s halls today was certainly much different from last year's arrival. Now, as compared to the uncertain stand we took then, we are self-assured citizens of our school. Classes re- sumed amidst the excitement of exchanging tales of summer adventures with sun-tanned schoolmates. September 20. 1948 Today we were shocked to receive word of the passing of Mr. Ralph Talbot, our beloved principal. Mr. Talbot had been suffering from a prolonged illness, and his death is being mourned not only by the faculty and student body of P. S., but by the entire city of Wilmington. We have just lost an outstanding educa- tional and civic leader. October, 1948 We're spinning in a whirl of activity now between football, hockey, and comparing criticisms on be-bop. P. S. lassies have donned turtle-necked sweaters and high white wool socks and seem to be in competition to see who wears the longest rope of pearls. November 24. 1948 Yellow chrysanthemums distinguished our clas: from all others today when we presented the annua. Thanksgiving assembly. Our newly elected class offi- cers, president, Philip Martin, vice-president, Ianet Smith, secretary, Beverly Braniif, and treasurer, Frank Baylis, proudly led the procession into the auditorium, where an interesting program was presented. This afternoon, though, the blue and grey attired student body clamored to our annual pep-fest and really pro- duced some cheering with oomph . November 25. 1949 Even though P. S. was excelled in points at the annual Thanksgiving Day game today, it was unex- celled in' fine spirit. After all, we just gave W. H. S. a break since we've won for seven consecutive years! December 3. 1948 Monstrosities resembling lions, elephants, and other beasts have been seen in nooks and corners of our school, but not until tonight was the mystery revealed. Why, of course-our class circus party. The committee, which includes Frank Baylis, Phyllis Dobb, Ioe Koffen- berger, Iayne Banks, and Iack Smith, certainly de- serves credit for a well planned party. February. 1949 Not until our class elections today, did I realize that we've already been juniors half a year. How time flies! Chosen to lead our class through the remainder of the school year were president, Philip Marting vice-presi- dent, Ianet Leary, secretary, Iayne Banks, and treas- urer, Frank Baylis. April. 1949 And suddenly it's spring! Boys clad in pastel shirts and girls in plunging neckline dresses wander idly to school-but with their minds on anything but their des- tination. Again we have become victims of that peren- nial disease, spring fever. May, 1949 Imagine, our classmates are officers of Student Council! Today we not only witnessed the campaign- ing, but participated in the grand fight by supporting our friends. Speeches were delivered by the four cam- paign managers, Dick Hughes, Carolyn Stirland, Caro- lyn Dickerson, and Philip Martin, for their respective candidates: Harold Gatewood, Ianet Smith, Iayne Banks, and Frank Baylis. Finally, over the public address, Bill Nicholl and Nona Bradford named their successors, Harold Gatewood and Ianet Smith. Iune 16. 1949 Our class rings at long last!! This day couldn't come soon enough for any of us. Now that it finally has arrived, we can't help but wave our hands and show everyone by the glittering gold and bold black of our newest possession that NOW WE ARE SENIORS!! SENIOR YEAR September 9. 1949 After an enjoyable vacation, which as usual ended too soon, we returned to school today. The only bright spot on the horizon is the fact that at last we will be the masters, since we are now seniors! October. 1949 Financial difficulties have set in. Won't someone please buy a Senior Play ticket? Our production of George Washington Slept Here is certain to be a huge success with a star-studded cast such as ours. November 9. 1949 Well, as predicted, the play went over with a big bang. We simply must remember to turn in the money for the tickets before we get locked up. November. 1949 So far, the football team hasn't been very consis- tent, but as long as we beat W. H. S., everything will be all right. November 24, 1949 Oh well, we'll slaughter them next year, but it's a shame none of our senior football stars will be around to join in the fun. December 19. 1949 My goodness! Only six more shopping days until Christmas! However, we have more important things , if --1' .-My f..---,six-lv? to think of, such as helping to put on the Christmas assembly. Talk about talent! Man! Our class is loaded with performers like Doris Martine, Ianet Streithof, Carolyn Stirland, lane Dempsey, Frank Baylis, Harold Gatewood, and others. Ianuary 3. 1950 Wow! Now that we are back in school, maybe we can get a little rest. That gay party life really wears one down. lcmuary. 1950 So far this year, the basketball team is having a very successful season. This success is- due, in part, to the fine playing of some of the senior members of the team. Ianuary. 1950 For the past few weeks most of the school has been in a political uproar. The new Student Council officers are president, Prank Baylis, vice-president, janet Smithp secretary, Beverly Braniff, treasurer, Frank Iulian. The results of our own class election are president, Frank Whiteg vice-president, Ianet Leary: secretary, Carolyn Stirland, treasurer, Harold Gatewood. February 8. 1950 Television must have a great deal of influence. Our girls must be seeing too much Frontier Playhouse, since a lot of them are wearing silk scarfs tied around their necks, and are wearing tighter skirts. February 15. 1950 Well, tonight is the night of our class reception. That means our parents will have a chance to meet all of our teachers. Don't you just love all those parents who want to know why Iunior never has any home- work? They also make a big hit with the teachers. Heh! Heh! February 22. 1950 Thanks to George Washington we are free from school for the rest of the week. It's a good thing too. as we were just about to put in a call for the little men in the white coats. March 23. 1950 All lovers of the drama will be crowding the audi- torium the next two evenings to see the Royal Masque production of Mother ls a Freshman . The cast in- cludes Ftatie Maroney, Pat Pratt, lean Anderson, Dick Harwitz, lim Speakman, Sally Goldman, Doris Weiss, Lois-Karen Clark, Ioyce Whaley, Barbara Brown, Shir- ley Clouser, Channing Smith, Bob Helms, Leonard Whann, Bill Swezey, Ken Brown, Ioan Leibert, Barbara Outten, and Irene Ragany. May 12. 1950 Tonight we are going to be first nighters and go to see the operetta, Maritana , We hope none of the stars develop laryngitis. May zo. isso We have just received a news report that the Honor Society has successfully taken over the Capitol-Wash- ington D. C., that is. May zs, isso We had better hurry or we'll be late for the Prom, and that would never do. We just know we'll have a wonderful time dancing in the Gold Ballroom of the Hotel duPont. Iune. 1950 After all these years, Commencement Day is here at last! Everyone listened attentively as the class ora- tors, lean Selig and Dick Harwitz, delivered their speeches. As we received our diplomas, we could hardly realize that our happy high school days were gone forever. ' U ' V .. x M Q -ifi at 3 ' eb s .f W' 4 3 f gif' S. X K .1 .

George Washjn gzfon Slept Here f' The Big Wind Miss Wilcox? Hello By Moss Hart cmd George Kaufman SENIOR PLAY After several months of deliberation, the mem- bers of the play reading committee finally came to an agreement. The great production of 1949 was to be George Washington Slept Here . Announcements were made as to when tryouts would be held, and our dramatic students eagerly awaited the day when they would compete for parts. At last the time had arrived, but wait, a problem arose! Where were our actors? Much to the dismay of Miss Hoyt and Mrs. Farrand, our class sponsors, very few boys came to tryouts. The class was warned that if no more boys came to tryouts there would be no play. The class waited anxiously. Finally Dick Mooney came to the rescue. Those who expected parts could be seen pacing the halls and tearing their hair in excitement and curiosity. At last the big day arrived. Miss Walsh, our director, called people to her classroom to tell them the good news. Of course, she didn't tell them what part they were to play-only that they were in it. This added to the excitement and suspense, which she suc- ceeded in keeping for the entire week. Shouts of Congratulations! could be heard throughout the halls. We next learned that Dick Mooney and Nancy Frampton had been awarded the starring roles. At the next meeting of the cast, the lines were cut. This was such an undertaking that some parts were changed completely. Play rehearsals started immediately, since there was such a short time until opening night. To miss a rehearsal was nothing short of criminal. Of course, there was the usual amount of cutting-up and wasting precious time, but Miss Walsh finally succeeded in direct- ing the three acts. The long awaited 6:30 of the opening night finally arrived. The entire cast was assembled. There was a little difficulty about the garbage for the last scene, but it was all ironed out. The property committee was going mad with preparations. Even the teachers were there-on police duty, of course. The cast was having ner- vous frustration, but it found time to present its director with a gift. Then they were on! And-a few minutes later it was all over. Much to the amazement of everyone, we had staged a suc- cess. Naturally, the second performance was routine, and by the third, everything was per- fectly under control. There is only one thing that is puzzling, that is, how did Bill Hottes' cuff links get where they were found the day after Shirley Clouser's cast party? Ke, -c hoo' YYNOGSP-X5 Wx .Qgobes ........,..

EPILOGUE Our student days at P. S. have drawn to a close. Happy experiences fade into fond memories. Try as We may, we can never again relive those happy school days. This PIERREAN can only serve as a reminder of the friendships, studies, and interests of years gone by, but we hope that between its covers you have once again heard echoes of that well-remembered song: Oh Alma Mater glorious, To thee we raise our song. Thy loyal sons and daughters Are valiant, true and strong. Blue and Gray, we honor thee, Oh, lead us on today. Hail, duPont High School, Lead us on to victory. Hail, Alma Mater, Royal Blue and Gray. Hail! duPont High School, Thy spirit live for aye! May thy children e'er be loyal, Thy glory never lail, Hail, duPont High School, Our Alma Mater, hail! Thy standards true we'll keep always, The symbols of thy might, The precepts of our student days, Thy motto, Be Upright . And when upon fame's lofty height There waves the Blue and Gray, Hail, duPont High School, Thy glory live for aye. .1aw.rm-fs1.:-v.- .a.-.mm -9.1,-u.::-1 ws s.. . ,,1.:..wfw:u1 ' 'muffin ww yf5fx Q 5'-Fib EL Wd ?1W,,,,,,'F f'i,,,Q fi sf :5E:,. :'+n 'Lf....u, A EW 5?
