But now we've reached it from afar, And hardly know just what to say. We never did quite realize Exactly what the day would mean, For now the tears are in our eyesg We'll miss the old familiar scene. We always meant to laugh and leave, And thankful be that school was o'er, But now to every scene we cleave, And press our memories close once more. Oh school, oh home, oh Ponce de Leon, Dear Alma Mater, always true, We're going now to fields beyond, But what we are, we owe to you. -Martha Upshaw.

Dick-Hello, folks, this is Dick Baker and Van Chilton bringing you the dedication ceremonies from the beautiful new Ponce de Leon auditorium. This year, l964, we assemble all the various members of the history-making class of l944g said members having made it an object cf their own personal intent to re-appear for an exercise which their opulence and good-will made possible. This is a tribute to the success and genius of a really loyal school group. Today, l have the express honor and privilege of presenting to you the individual members of a group of outstanding citizens which made possible the impossible, who moved the mountain to Mohammed by the truckload, who have presented the faculty and students of Ponce de Leon High School of l964 with a beautiful new, genuine auditorium. The office of president of the group was assigned back in l944, with full honors, to: George Dacy, Naval officer and popular hero of the Second World War, who is accompanied by that Dean of female journalists, Diana Epting. She is compiling a book of Admiral Dacy's war experiences. Van-Well, it certainly is interesting to le a come- dian's secretary, Dick. Today l'm getting a chance to see all my friends. Look! There are those old high school companions, lack Gale, now a prominent newspaper edi- tor, and lackie Cordes discussing the interior decoration of the new auditorium. jackie handled the decoration of this one. Dick-Yes, and Miss Mary Ann Moore, famous design- er of dresses, comes escorted today by Walter Baker, one of the country's outstanding legal minds. Following them is another great lawyer, Hal Carter, with Alice Bliss, whose modeling has been a factor in building the fame of Miss Moore's dresses. Twenty-fou r OPHECY Van-You have heard of the Bumstead 'Mars or Bust' Expedition. The engineering genius of Bruce Chase de- signed the rocket ship used on the ill-fated Bumstead voyage. lncidentally, Mr. Chase has abandoned his ideas about Mars long enough to escort Miss Peggy Carter today. Dick-Barbara Kaye, a laboratory technician, is discuss- ing with Ted Magill some newly found evidence on his current case. Ted is the eminent criminal lawyer, with a large practice in the courts of Dade county. Van-Next on our programme, we have the Scientific Hayseed, Richard Campbell. This intrepid young adven- turer raises food for invalids under the direction of Miss Margaret Edwards, trained nurse and director of the Chattahoochee lnvalids' Home. Dick-Discussing the beautiful auditorium are Ronald Mann, civil engineer, and Nannie Baldwin, nursery school principal. They are both tops in their fields and are called 'on for advice as experts. Van-Betty Lou Green, Daisy Gilmore, and Lillian Win- terringer, private secretaries to rival executives, may lose their positions by appearing together today. But positions that they vacate would not be easily filled. Dick-lf you look outside ten minutes after these exercises are over, you will see Sumner Gurney, handsome Navy flier, posing for Patty McKie, noted photographer. She is taking this picture for a full-page ad concerning Phillip Luckfield cigarettes. Van--Bill Greene, U. S. Consul in Havana, today is es- corting, Bettv Butler, who thought she wanted to be a psychology professor, but changed her mind and became private pilot for Mr. Greene, and together they fly on many diplomatic missions. Dick-Pan-American Airways kindly consented to spare us Kasper Eulette, one of their experienced pilots, and Ruth Lorber, of Passenger Service. They knew each other at Ponce and decided to renew their old friendship today. Van-Claude Everett, district head of General Motors, is conferring with his wife and secretary, Betty Hagberg, on the possibility of an evening at the theater. After all, a lusy husband doesn't often get to step out with his wife. Dick-Dr. Elliot Dick, local sawbones, and one of his many nurses, lean Burton, are looking the place over. You will find this pair constantly together in the office or any- where else. Van-Of the many airmen among our former classmates, we find Kenneth Dorn, an aviation enthusiast, who enjoys the company of secretaries--Miss Zalene Powell's in particular. Dick-The entire world has heard the nimble fingers of Hank Beebe at the piano. He is really an electrical en- gineer on the side. Franklin Smith, who is his constant Please turn to page 74 . NXQPN A ADVENTURE IN FRIENDSHIP CLASS HISTORY WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG l94O - l94l ln l94O Ponce de Leon had Bnmttilh a record-breaking enrollment of 860 pupils. Of these pupils 225 were to be the class of H I ii' '44, We green freshmen wan- N V gg! it ' Maven! il? . . , L' a dered through the halls of PdeL never certain that we were going in the right direc- tion, for we were following in the footsteps of the decades of freshmen before us. The first thing we remem- Ler was the awful confusion of that first day when we met in study hall. There the un- known faces of Mrs. Bingham. my - 3 tl 3 ?5l Si I , Miss Ions, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Clawson, Miss Buchholz, and Miss Symonds greeted us. After the lists of names had been read, we realized that we had been assigned to home rooms. Thus school was off to a great start! This was the first year that freshmen had the privi- lege of electing class officers. With perfect assurance, we chose lack Bennett to lead our class with jackie Cordes, Kenneth Dorn, and Van chilton to assist him as vice- president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Book Parade day fascinated us. All students came to school representing books. Miss Symonds and Mrs. Bing- ham carefully selected and sent to the library the best costumes. The girls made their way through home economics. pea soup and all, while the boys learned the art of manual training. lt didn't seem possible to us that any group of students could print a paper as wonderful as the Ponce Tribune. Algebra students were fascinated by Mr. Mateer's wit and bow ties, Mr. Messier carefully put into some pupils a portion Assemblies all the yells and award assembly win the coveted leanette Burton of general science. thrilled us too. One Thursday we learned songs of our Ponce de Leon. Here too, on day we saw Bill Prahl and jackie Cordes American Legion awards for the 9A's, and and Raymond Fulford, the awards for the 9B's. We felt proud when the band took state-wide honors at the St. Petersburg convention, especially when some of our own classmates marched triumphantly home. Van Chilton was the number one player on the girls' tennis team. George Dacy, Bill Byrd, and Al Huguelet made the basketball team: George also was on the football team. The rest of us participated vocally in sports, yelling at the top of our voices. The Hi-Y Club took pictures of all the freshmen for our permanent record cards. This was the year that the Hi-Y opened a school store. Although the Key Club took over the guard system, some of us still persisted in using the wrong stairs. We acted just like freshmen-faithfully wearing our red and black dinksg spending many days searching for the esculators of which the upperclassmen assured us, but which we never found, and striving ever forward toward the goal of being seniors. We intended to continue our good work and give wholehearted support to our Alma Mater. PlLGRlM'S PROGRES l94l - l942 In September, l94I, we pupils, no longer considered frivolous freshmen, ventured to see a new life. We had our own ideas of this life, but, of course. the green shone through. As there were many that did not return, the class began its second year with fewer members. How- ever, the pep remained and the class began to do things in a manner that would increase Ponce de Leon's prestige, and serve as an example to the incoming September class. We reorganized at the beginning of the year and elected Bill Prahl president, jackie Cordes vice president, Mary Frank secretary, and Bill Greene treasurer. Now we looked into the future and beheld the tremendous task of financing the junior-Senior prom, So-we sophomores gave a sensational shin-dig, a dance. By the way, our total profit was Sl.25. This, however, was just the beginning. During this eventful year Ronald Mann appeared with a winning essay for the Civitan Citizenship contest which brought him a handsome medal. The girls weren't to be outdone, for lean Rasco surprised us by winning the glee club medal, and Mary Lou Raulerson produced a dress which won the state-wide D. A. R. clothing contest. This was the year so many fy , of us enjoyed Mrs. Murray's Y 44, ' geometry classes in her porta- K . ble. Miss Gilkey amazed us in biology by her erudition and - skill in disecting earthworms and frogs. We also partici- - pated in such actions. This i was the year so many of the . girls took first aid and re- ? ml. ceived their cards from Mrs. Sample. During this year the Please turn to page 77 Twenty-five , .

To bring about greater cooperation between the students and faculty is the chief aim of the Ponce de Leon Student Council. The council represents the opinions and objectives of the student body, and also provides training in self-government through representatives for every student in school. The office of president was capably filled the first semester by Willoughby Cox, who was suc- ceeded by his equally successful vice-president, Hank Beebe. With the exception of the new vice- president, Nancy C-ramley, the excutive officers remained practically unchanged. They were: secretary of state, Bill Creeneg secretary of fi- nance, Bob Bryan, secretary of the interior, Dick Baker, recording secretary, Martha Upshawg cor- responding secretary, Patty Allen, secretary of defense, lack Bennett. Among the more important accomplishments of the year are such projects as giving financial aid and other aid to clubs, sponsoring campus clean- ups, holding dances at third lunch, and organizing a drive through the club representatives to finance a motion picture projector.

These posts in law and nomadic efficient guards are stationed at various the building for the purpose of keeping order in the corridors at all times. The student is soon convinced that he can- not indulge his wandering tendencies without that open sesame in the form of an official pass. Ponce guards help materially the spirit of co- operation and harmony between the faculty and students. Students with high ratings in character, service, selected and scholarship and dependability are by the faculty for membership.

Their spirit and support spur for- ward the teams of Ponce tc victory. If there is a game of any kind under way, you can be sure a Cavaliette is somewhere near. All 60 of these girls devote most of their time to creating school spirit and cheering on our boys. On the drill field their snappy Spanish costumes of red and black create a stirring spectacle of splendour. This year they have served the school in more than one way. A very successful paper drive has been sponsored by them. At all University games the aisles were patrolled by Cavaliette ushers. For two of these games their drills were of such excellence that they have received much recognition for these participations. Unable to find material enough to recurtain the stage. the girls did the next best thing, that of repairing and cleaning the old curtains. They ended the year with an outstanding production of school talent-the Victory Rhythm Revue. The Cavaliette officers are: lackie Cordes, Presidentg Marilyn Ward, Vice-Presidentg Betty Ann Harding, Recording Secretaryg Nancy Gramley, Corresponding Secretaryg Love Ellis, Treasurerg Nancy Smtih, Sergeant at armsg Zoe Weston, Historian. GLEE CLUB Music hath charms to sooth a savage breast- is the universal theme of all lovers of fine music. The Ponce de Leon Glee Club has sung its way into .the hearts of its audiences. This fine group ot. young singers has participated in many programs this year bringing forth new voices and talent. They have sung in such circles as the Thanksgiv- ing Sunrise Service, P-T. A. meetings, mid-term graduation, the Cavaliette Musicale, The Woman's Club programs, and june graduation. Several mem- bers also participated in the Miami Opera Guild'S production of Carmen, They were Roberta Hick- man, the Cilee CIub's featured vocalist, Helen Woo- ten, Patty Allen, and loan Whitehead.

PONCE TRIBUNE They wrote for certain papers Which, as everybody knows, Is worse than serving in a shop Or scaring off the crows. Franklin Smith julia Szady lack Gale Patty Allen Marilyn Ward Standing rear: Diana Epting Standing front Mrs. Eleanor Wilson X wk s All copy MUST be in tomorrow is a familiar phrase heard around the journalism room. Spoken by julia Szady, reiterated by lack C-ale, and emphasized by Mrs. Wilson, these words have become the motto of l l2A. Last minute news items, late date affairs, and extra stories of interest are the inevitable worries of work-weary journalists. An industrious staff engrossed in news print is a familiar scene to anyone who passes the Riviera at regular two-week intervals. ln spite of tension, haste and suspence, these live wires always manage to meet the deadline, and complete all copy without a short circuit. The Ponce Tribune, under the able guidance of Mrs. Eleanor Wilson, has kept its fine standards in spite of shortages of paper, print, and help. lack C-ale, editor-in-chief, has given un- tiringly of his time, energy and interest to the editing of the paper. Credit for the fine bi-weekly publication goes also to lulia Szady, associate editorg Franklin Smith and Patty Allen, feature editors, Marilyn Ward and Van Chilton, business managers: julio Clark and Pic Brannon, sportsg and Diana Epting, advertising manager, and to every hard working Tribune reporter and all ad solicitors.

Staff members have all been orientated to hard work, but the editing of this book requires more long hours of preparation than any goal ever before attempted. Deadlines had to be reached and last minute copy collected, ads, practically an imposibility to obtain these days, had to be secured to defray expenses, obnoxious faces kept turning up in the wrong columns and had to be rearranged. These are but a few of the trials and tribulations of the busy staff, but where there's creative work there's fun, and no one believes this more than the workers. They've enjoyed every minute of preparing the annual and are proud to be the authors of this meritorious publication. Others that deserve credit for their excellent work and co- operation in putting out this annual are: Miss Mary Cecile lons, for her contribution toward the class history, prophesy and will, Mrs. Irene Murray, for her untiring efforts in the selling of the annualsg each and everyone of the teachers who so graciously excused students to have their pictures made, Carolyn Butler and her assistants who helped make the king and queen contest a success, Mr. Rath for devoting so much of his precious time to picture taking, and all others who gave their patience, time. and effort in the publishing of this annual. Fifty-nine Sixty POST WAR PROBLEMS Instrumental in shaping the minds of future leaders of democ- racy is the Post War Planning Club. lt was organized so that the members would have an opportunity to discuss post war prob- lems.

Although the code is taught in various scout troops, this opportunity was not available to other students until the organization of this club. Morse code is employed by railroad dispatchers, commercial pilots and merchant seamen as well as the Army and Navy, Learning to transmit and receive code while in high school will be very helpful later. The officers of the club are Donald Brown, President, Bill Stone- street, Vice-President, Betty Sessions, Secretary, C. H.

LIBRARY Books, books, and more books! What would the Ponce students do without the complete library staff to act as custodians of their education and pleasure? Each member of the staff has a section of books to which he is assigned for checking and dusting. The daily work of the students who assist in the library consists of checking books in and out, sending over-due notices, collecting fines and returning books to their proper shelves. The library staff is under the competent supervision of Miss Margaret Clark. The library staff officers are: Henry Davis, Presi- dent, Lynn Watson, Vice-President, Ruth Lorber, Secretary. lst row: Horlamus, Yarborough, Watson, Lorber, Davis. 2nd row: Cray, Reeves, McCirew, Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Clark, Garcia, Smith. 3rd row: Fitzgerald, Kelly, Miller, Self, Brown. www ww ' NWW' x A lu ndxml, .x,,x A . ,... 1,ll'nml.llX XX s .. 5 S S X ATHELETICS X gf Ns., fam I ,I N. ...:. .

The underly- ing cause for the organization is to foster sportsmanship and school spirit, Under the direction of Coach lack C-ramley, the club sponsored tag days, set a standard for letters, bought football sweaters, gave awards in all sports and recognition to outstanding mem- bers, and brought about the establishment of a school-wide athletic fee. Heading this organization is George Dacy, president, jim Spry, Vice-presidentg and Kenny Dorn sports the title ot secretary and treasurer. Despite the loss of many of his best players, the shortage of assistants causing him to do the work of three coaches, and the ever-increasing demands of the government to teach more phy- sical education, Coach 1. C. Gramley has helped the athletic teams to live up to all the Ponce traditions of sportmanship, fair play, and of school spirit. For these and other achievements, in the face of overwhelming odds, we dedicate this section of sports to Coach 1. C. Gramley.

A sparkling offense and a rugged defense were the two main factors which permitted the Ponce team to walk away with victories over such notables as Andrew jackson, Fort Lauderdale, and Lake Worth, and fight Miami Beach, The Little Three Champions, to a 7-7 tie. Starting off their season with a decisive victory over Lake Worth, the Cavaliers let down when a sudden drain by the armed forces on the team left them without the services of Bill Byrd, Ty Vickers, and Raymond Lyles, all key men. Thus weakened, the Cavaliers, the following week, eked out a l3-6 victory over Dania. Still suffering from the losses, the Cavaliers fought Miami Beach to a 7-7 tie. A spirited Ponce team, playing under the lights of the Orange Bowl, lost a heart-breaker to Andrew jackson, l3-6, as defeat came with a blocked punt. The two highlights of the season came when Ponce handed defeats to Ft. Lauderdale, 20-O, and Andrew jackson, I2-O, but failed to defeat Miami Beach next week. This defeat lost them their chance to take the Little Three Championship. Outstanding all year were Herman Atkinson, George Dacy, Bobby Lee. Billy Lee, lohn Pennekamp, and jack Brasington. This is the second year the team has been under Coach Cramley and it turned in the best record it has obtained in four yearsg winning four, losing four, and tying one.

This wasn't the only way in which the war affected us. lti brought about sugar-rationing. Remember those glorious days when we got out so that the teachers could allot shares of this valuable sweet to the public? As this year drew to a close, we began to realize that half' of our scholastic career in high school had speedily fled by. Then came the resolution which one always makes fo' The Coming Year. We were going to do better than ever before. THE OPEN ROAD i942 - i943 Now we were juniors with only one more year to go before we would be omnipotent seniors. We had passed through two stages of this eventful game, and could almost feel ourselves getting older. That year found our class officers much the same, with Bill Greene, president, jackie Cordes, vice presidentg Mary Frank, secretary, and Bill Stephens, treasurer. This was truly a year of sports. Our football team showed great ' courage and perseverance even though it won only three out of I ten games. Our basketball team 5 was five per cent better than the , year before. Our baseball team C lg was to go down in Ponce history x as a champion team. We won the state tournament and set a pre- K :edent for Ponce baseball teams. y' On award day Ronald Mann was presented with the geometry medal. Two of our girls, Roberta ' ' Hickman and Phyllis Eberle,, re- I received glee club medals. - . We wrote essays and poems for a great many contests that year. Mary Frank won the Civitan contest, Martha Upshaw won the poetry contest sponsored by the Coral Gables Woman's Club, and Carolyn Butler won the Kiwanis Club essay prize. Under the dynamic inspiration of Mrs. Murray, we sponsored many rummage sales that had a great deal of response among the students, and helped us make the required amount of money for the junior-Senior prom. We were very much honored when it was disclosed that more juniors had honor roll scholastic averages than any other class in school. Bill Prahl, Charles White, Stewart Garey, jackie Cordes, jean Rasco, and Hank Beebe were tapped for National Honor Society. Hank was elected president of the National Honor Society, and we had the laugh on the seniors after that. Charlie White won the presidency of the Student Council, an honor seldom bestowed on a junior. The war began to affect our lives more directly at this time. We ate peanuts instead of candy at lunch.
