WI' 51 CLASSES JUNICDR CLASS At the end of our sophomore year, elections were held for junior class officers: The followf ing were elected: john Curtis, president, jack Colflesh, vicefpresident, Barbara Rufner, secref tary 5 and Herb Robinson, treasurer. Mr. Shaffer was again elected junior class adviser. In September the Class Council, john Tullai, Alice Hammond, Fred McNeal, Iris Herzog, Earl Heacock and George Mullen, along with the officers and Mr. Shaffer, set to work to or- ganize a schedule for junior class events during the year, the highlights to be the play and the prom. A dance committee was also chosen at this time. When hockey practice was called the junior girls went out in full force and, after weeks of practice, were ready for the season. The following girls reported: Dorothy Bostedo, joyce Dugan, Barbara Downer, Dot McLaughlin, Ruby Devuroude, Barbara Rufner, Phyllis Esrey, Alice Hammond, and janet Paget. Carole Githens, Bernie Lawrence and jean Conroy were the junior managers. The boys, too, were well represented on the football field. The following held varsity posif tions: Ernest Flechsig, john Miller, Pete Tryens, Roy Rhyne, Frank Manspeaker, john Curtis, jack Colflesh, john Tullai, Bob Kitchell, George Mullen. The class was allotted several record dances and with the aid of the Record Dance Comf mittee, john Miller, chairman, George Mullen, George Smith, Sue Brown, joyce Dugan and jack Stevens, made the most of them, swell the junior class treasury. Several novel announcef ments about these dances were presented, ranging from a Soap Opera Skit to a conversation between hoboesf' Many of the juniors finished out 1946 by supporting the seniors and attending the Senior Prom. ' After Christmas vacation and a breather from junior history, we came back with zest ready to finish out the year. 54 junior play tryouts were held in january, and on March T, the junior play, Fly Away Home, was presented to a capacity audience. The cast included: Richard Kiszonas, Thomas Hardy, Pierre Marteney, Robert Kitchel, Ed Messey, Don Rhoads, joseph Hupf, Lois Haaz, Phyllis Dulin, Bernadette Lawrence, Reginia McCutcheon, Barbara Rufner and Audrey Hurst who was forced to withdraw on account of illness. The prompter, Alice Hammond, filled this capacity ably on short notice, and Virginia Bryan became prompter. While the play cast was rehearsing, many of the juniors were again practicing. This time it was basketball. The juniors were represented on both varsity and junior varsity teams. Dorothy Bostedo, Donna Sweeney, Kathleen Bayne, Phyllis Esrey, janet Dot McLaughlin, and joyce Dugan, john Curtis, Roy Rhyne, Stanley Rosen, Walter Coppock, Pete Tryens, Fred McNeal and jack Colflesh represented the junior class in this field of sports. When tryouts were held for the operetta, Nfarianne, several juniors made the dancing and singing choruses. Dorothy Bailey had a lead as Mabel and Kathleen Bayne was understudy. The juniors were active musically, two-thirds of the girls' trio being juniorseDot Bailey and Kathleen Bayne. Angelo Lenzi, talented accordionist, was popular in our assemblies, and the orchestra and band were strengthened considerably by the juniors. lt seemed as if the days were flying along, for soon track season was here. The juniors made a clean sweep of the Interclass meet and contributed many points in our track victories. Near the end of March the order for junior class jewelry was taken and the class eagerly awaited the arrival of the jewelry. The last social event ofthe year, the junior Prom, was held in june. The committees did a good job and many of the seniors as well as juniors and underclassmen attended. From September to juneAthe juniors have tried to be an allfaround class and an asset to Ridley Park. Even though we suffered, through Qand had a lot of fun ini Mr. Ferree's hisf tory class-and his bull whip, we've had a year of fun. We wish the seniors lots of luck and hope we will be able to fill their place next year. SOPHQMCDRE CLASS The sophomores got off to a good start by electing the following to lead them through the year: Presif dent, Richard Morang vicefpresident, Raymond Sakersg secretary, Mona Davisg treasurer, Nancy Fenza. The class's representatives on Student Counf cil for the first semester were: john Quillan, juanita Barrett, and Raymond Sakers. Those for the second semester were: Mona Davis, Raymond Sakers, and john Quillan. The jayfVee teams were made up of many sophof mores, and the varsity teams also boasted of sev- eral. Suzanne Sweeney, Mona Davis, and Barbara Pierce played varsity hockey, while the football team included Al Waite, Bud Thompson, and Francis Smith. Mary Smith played varsity basketball. 56 To swell the treasury, the first half of the year was spent in selling Christmas cards. This netted approx' imately 5100. The main highlight of the year was the Sophomore Hop, held as a St. Patricks Day Dance. The gym was decorated appropriately, and delicious refreshments were served during intermis- sion. Rienie Schroeder sang, and a charming ballet was given as extra entertainment. Two Saturday night dances were conducted by the sophomores. We, the sophomores of 1947, hope that the next two years may be as successful as this one has been, and that we may be as much a credit to our school as classes before us. FRESHMAINI CLASS To the world at large, 1946 was just four numbers, another year, a twelvefmonth time in which almost anything could happen in world affairs. But to us, the freshman class, those four numbers spelled the beginning of better achievement. Within the folds of this magic year was work, vision, joy, hard- ships, success or failure, and memories. To us in 1946, a new era was opening. The heritage of a whole new world could well be ours within the confines of our modest start: the future class of 1950. The freshman class really began to make their headway in December with the beginning of the class election of officers supervised by the class advisor, Mr. Richard Bell. These were held as actual state elections are held. The final results were: President, Tom Ziegenfussg vice-president, Alvin Converse, sec- retary, Eileen Smith, treasurer, Carol Baily. The usual demonstration of selling Curtis magazines soon 58 followed the election, with a total sales of 5l,l23.00, the profit of which was 5393.00 Prizes for the individual sales were given in an assembly program sponsored by the freshman class. First prize, won by Norman Lawrence, consisted of 510.003 second prize, 55.00, presented to Ted McLeod, and third prize, 53.00, presented to Barbara Anne Grant. For every 525.00 individual sale, one chance resulted on a table model radio. Each 510.00 sale more equalled another chance. The radio was won by Albert Granger. Everyone selling ten or more subscriptions received a box of candy. The freshmen also held a party which was a great success and a result of the election platform. The freshman class leave behind them the memory of a very successful year, and the memory of all those faculty members who helped to make it successful, especially our neverftofbe- forgotten friend, Mr. Richard P. Bell, class adviser. We thank all of you. EICEHTH GRADE Borderline cases! That's eighth grade. Almost freshmen, but not quite! Still eager to be in the groove and anxious to be one of Ridley Park High School's solid citizens. The eighth grade play, It'5 So Peaceful, under the direction of Mrs. Raymond, had many dramatic aspirants displaying their talents. Eighth graders showed ability, too, in the intramural activities. Girls' hockey and basketball teams did a nice job and the boys kept on the beam in basketball. Let us not forget our eighth graders- Shirley Nichols, jean Dugan and jean Cottrill-who held their own on the girls' fresh- man basketball teamg and john Marlatt, Richard Ennis, and manager Robert Twitmyer on the boys' freshman second team. The Davis Medal for Current Events had eighth graders eager, with several prom- ising contestants in the running. Music, as well as athletics and scholastic talent, is well represented in eighth grade with Norma jean Kock, Robert Layer, Robert Shaffer, Bob Creegan, Frazier Hillings and Dick Alexander contributing their talents to the band and orchestra. The Clee Club rings with eighth grade voices in the junior High Mixed Chorus. ln the allfover picture the eighth grade is all out for Ridley Park High School, and we hope our class will be a creditable one. 60 SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade has enjoyed its first year in the high school of Ridley Park. We feel we have learned a great deal from our teachers. We've enjoyed taking part in different athletic activities such as hockey, basket- ball, football and other sports. We have some very outstanding players in these sports. We also took part in musical activities. We have our own Clee Club. At Christ, mas time we sang two very beautiful songs, The Holy Child and The Birthday of a King. Christine Huber was our pianist. We have eight members of our class in the junior Orchestra and two in the Senior Orchestra. Our class representatives for Student Council were Patsy Mays for the first sem- ester, and Alan Roberts for the second semester. The seventh grade also organized a Hobby Club. The students brought in interestf ing things on which they presented talks. Such things as: Lives of Composers, Coin Collections, Drawings of Airplanes, Steam Engines, Collections of Shells, and many other topics were used. Our meetings were held once every two months in both secf tions of English class. We also have a telented artist in our class. He is john Alexander. john is on the Flyer Art Staff. He made many joke signs, which amused the teachers very much. CRGANIZATIONS RETRQSPECT STAFF Editorial Stajf jean Sisson, Editor-infChief Patricia Brown Ellyn Buehl janey Crosbyl .

Those elected were: joseph Moore, president: Dorothy Bailey, vicefpresidentg Bernadette Lawrence, secretary, and Evelyn Scone, treasurer. On january 22, the first meeting was held in the lunchroom. The meeting began with historical charades, in which the winning team was excused from doing the dishes. This was followed by a feature movie enti- tled jack London. At the next meeting, which was held on March 26, the main program was in the nature of a radio broadcast. Bob Olander was the master of ceremonies. There were two teams, one team consisted ofjuniors and sophomores, while the other was made up of seniors. The junior-Sophomore team were the winners. This was followed by a short musical film. The March meeting, which was held on Tuesday the 25th, proved to be a most inter- esting one. After the business was taken care of, a Truth or Consequence show was staged, with Bob Olander as master of ceremonies. Following this, a talk on Social Security was given by Mr. C-ruber of the Social Security Ofiice in Chester. The meeting was then disf missed for refreshments. The next meeting was held on Wednesday, May 7. Since this was the last meeting of the year an interesting feature length film was presented. After the showing of the film, the club was dismissed to the lunchroom for refreshments. The most outstanding work undertaken by our club this year was the revision of the club constitution. One of the main changes enables the club to get organized earlier in the year. Thus ended a most enjoyable year. The ofiicers and members of this year's club hope that the future clubs will have as much sucf cess and fun as we have had this year. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club consists of sophomores, juniors and seniors who are interested in books and reading. Meetings are usually held twice a month during activity period. Evelyn Smith, president, Iris Herzog, secref tary, and josephine Harper, treasurer, were the club's olicers this year. New members of the Library Club were voted on in September by the old members of the club. This is necessary because the club consists of only thirtyffive members, and too many ask to join. For those interested in actual library work a Staff Club was formed within the club. This branch of the club has nine hard work' ing members. They really work! They shelve books, Hle catalogue cards, letter and shellac books, type book lists, and answer a thousand and one questions. The Library Club meetings were usually highlighted by student programs, consisting of book quizzes, book reviews, cross-word puzzles, and brain-teasing literary games. The three social events that every memf ber looked forward to with anticipation were the big Christmas Party, the spring library picnic, and the annual trip to the theater. These were factors toward helping the stuf dents of all grades to become better ac- quainted with one another, as well as being a means for having a good time. But those events did not entirely charac' terize the happenings of the Library Club- No indeed, the girls became serious enough to learn many interesting facts about the library. The members found out about the daily functions of the library, and the intrif cate work of a librarian.

The German Club's main purpose is to aid its members in expressing, comprehending. and speaking the Laxman language. The club is also interested in modern Germany. These purposes were well taken care of at our monthly meetings when we sang Gernfan songs. worked German crossword puzzles, played Traveling to Germany, presented an elementary German play, and held simple conversations. Highlights of our club meet, ings this year were numerous. Our December meeting was held in the spirit of Christmas. The Christmas story was read from the Bible auf Deutsch, and Silent Night was sung in three languages: Dorothy Bailey sang in French, Kathleen Bayne sang in German, and Stanley Moustakas sang in Greek. Another highlight was the showing of two films about Germany. Une film was silent, while the other was spoken in German. The third highlight proved to be the greatest of the year. Mrs. Hilde Koch, a German refugee living in the United States, told us of her experiences in Germany during World War ll and also about her book. Refugee. The club proved to he successful. lt is the hope of the retiring oflicers that next years club may accomplish as much. ART CLUB This year the Art Club was organized under the direction of Miss Margaret De La Cour for all students interested in art. The Art Club is largely represented by under, classmeng however, there are a few senior members. Although the club consists of a small number, they have turned out some nice work. The main thing done was clay work, but there was some painting and other forms and crafts of art produced. At one of the meetings there was a demonstration of the techniques of finger painting. After the demonstration the students tried their hand at it with some very favorable results. The officers of the club were: Betty Lou Bock, presidentg jack Knowles, vice-presif dentg Barbara Zeigler, secretary, and Dorof thy Willis, treasurer. STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club was formed last year.

The club was open to the students of the biology classes having an average of 75 or above and to former students having an average of 85 or above. Its purposes were to promote a general interest in biology and to pro- vide for individual advancement in special Helds of interest. During the first meeting the following officers were elected: james Moore, presidentg Evelyn Schone, vice presi- dentg Mary Moncrief, secretary, and Robert Horne, treasurer. Plans for other activities were discussed. It was decided for the members of the club to form into different groups and work on a project most interesting to them. These activities were fto bel accomf plished outside of the club. The main features of the next meeting were motion pictures entitled Under the Sea and Through the Microscope. A spellingfbee of biological words was anf other interesting feature of the evening. The highlight of the year was a trip to the Museum of Natural Science in Philadelphia. This trip proved very educational and was enjoyed by everyf one. SWIMMING CLUB The Swimming Club was under the super' vision of Miss Bassoe. The club was started the last of April and continued into june. Only the girls of the Senior High were eligif ble to join this club. There were approxif mately fifty girls who participated in this sport. Every Tuesday the girls went down to the Y. W. C. A. in Chester for a swim. The girls swam from four to five o'clock. This year each girl had a buddy for their protection. The girls have had a lot of fun swimming and diving. The highlight of the club was when Mr. Ferree went down to the pool to take the picture of the bathing beauties in the baggy bathing suits. We hope that next year's swimming club has as much fun as we did this year. MAJORETTES AND COLOR GUARDS Early in September, tryouts were held to select the majorettes and color guards for the 19461947 season. Mrs. Bullock, Mr. jones, and Miss Bassoe acted as judges in choosing six color guards from approximately eighty prospects. Elsie Richards, senior, and Donna Sweeney, junior, were two regulars left from the pre- vious season's squad. Maureen McHale and joyce Alexander, seniors, and Doris Stork and janet Paget, juniors, were chosen on a basis of marching ability and general appear- ance as regular guards. Barbara Helm and Betty Betham, sophomores, were selected as alternates. Elsie Richards was appointed Captain of the Guard. Twenty hopeful twirlers participated in practices held in the spring of 1946 to learn baton twirling and routines. Mr. jones and Mrs. Bullock instructed the girls in drills which were to be practiced over the summer. When the final tryouts were held early in the 19461947 school year, three more majorf ettes were needed to fill the places of graduf ated twirlers. june Bailey, senior, Dot Rizzo, junior, Glenabelle Colbourne, sophomore, and Carol Bailey, freshman, were the remaining regulars from the 1946 squad. Nancy Fenza and Bobbie Barrett, sophomores, were the majorettes selected as regulars, and Mary Smith and Love Hall were chosen alternates. During the season, Mary was appointed as a regular on the squad. Mrs. Bullock trained the two groups of girls in their respective fields, Besides accompanying the band at the football games, the majorettes and color guards participated in October in the Cultural Olympics Band Contest conducted by the University of Pennsylvania. In May, they were entered in the Band Festival, spon- sored by Chester Kiwanis. Tl-IE BAND The Band is dehnitely the most colorful organization in the school. Their snappy red uniforms and music add a great deal to the school pep and spirit during football season. The Band's busiest season is in the fall. They contribute to every football game with original march formations and good music. About fifty members turned out for the Band and led by H. Lytton jones, they showed great improvement this year. They have regular practices for both their music and their marching. Late in October they were again invited to take part in the Cultural Olympics at the University of Pennsylvania. Here they marched in competition with twenty-one other bands. The bands were rated accord' ing to marching, music and uniforms. ln the afternoon they were the guests of the Uni- versity at the PennsylvaniafVirginia game. During the winter the Band takes a temf porary rest, with occasional practices to keep them up to par. But in the spring they go into another busy season with their usual vim and vigor. The big event this season was the annual music festival, which is held in May. The Band played several excellent selections and also accompanied the major- ettes while they did various twirls. This year the Band ended their activities by participating with eight other school bands in the Band Concert held in Chester and sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of the Chesf ter Pike area. The program began with each band playing and marching in various forf mations. After the intermission a large bamd, made up of members from each band, played several difiicult and beautiful numf bers. Our High School had ten members in the composite band.

Lytton jones it has become one of the most active organif zations in the school. This orchestra is made up of all students in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, who can meet the qualificaf tions and are interested. The Orchestra, of whom Richard Moore is concert master, has thirtyftwo members, con- sisting of twelve violins, six clarinets, five trumpets, two saxophones, two trombones, a French horn, cello bass, violin, and drums. The accompanist is jean Robson. Practices are held twice a week during regularly scheduled periods. This year the Orchestra has had a busy schedule beginning early in the school year and ending in june. One of their regular jobs is to play every Friday in assembly. Some of the performances this year included selecf tions played for the Home and School Asso- ciation, participation in the annual Christ- mas program and programs presented to the Trainer and Folcroft Home and School Assof ciations. In October the Orchestra was invited to play before the Teachers' Institute held at Swarthmore College. A few weeks later they gave an excellent halffhour radio program over WIBG. This included The Hungarian Overture and Show Boat played by the orchesf tra, a violin solo by Richard Moore, and a vocal selection by Dorothy Bailey. The most important event in the school year, for the Orchestra, is the annual Spring Concert. This year they played selections from Sigmund Romberg's famous Desert Song and Danube Waves by Ivanovici. They also accompanied the mixed chorus who sang Rubinstein's inspiring Voice of Freedom. The Orchestra finished up its school year by playing at the Senior Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. This year the Orchestra will lose ten senior members. JUNIOR ORCHESTRA The junior High School Orchestra is a new organization in our school. It is made up of students in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Most of these students had their first experience in group playing in the Tome Street School Orchestra made up of pupils in the fifth and sixth grades. While in that organization they played in their assembly programs and presented several concerts for the Home and School Association. The junior Orchestra was organized bee cause of the unusually large number of stu- dents who turned out for orchestra. It was decided that two small orchestras would prove more efficient than one large one, and would prove more worth while for each member. The junior Orchestra has twentyftwo members. Conrad Ljungquist is the concert master and Norma jean Kock and Christian Huber the accompanists. They have pracf tices every Tuesday during the sixth period. They sometimes played for the assembly program instead of the Senior Orchestra and they gave several concerts for the Home and School meetings. They also played several pieces for the annual Music Festival, one being the impresf sive Echoes from Grand Opera, arranged by Heafunth. Everyone agrees that the junior Orchestra is one of the most talented musical organizations in the school. JUNICDR PLAY In our junior year we presented a threefact comedy entitled Come Rain or Shine, under the direction of Mr. Robert B. Shaffer. The play begins in the Grayson's summer cottage. .Iac Grayson, a highfspirited college girl, is spending the summer with her family on the lakeshore. Because of her childish tendency to let her enthusiasms run wild, she is fired with theatrical ambition as soon as she leams that a summer theatre has been es- tablished nearby. julia March, the domineering and eccentric owner of the city paper which jac's father edits, has founded the theatre in order to further the ambitions of her beautiful, pampered granddaughter, Rosemary. Rosemary arrives to spend the summer with the Graysons. Immediately Rosemary and jac are at oddswver the important roles and over Dan Lyons, the young theatre director. Their rivalry is complicated by the arrival of jac's college suitor, Dick Clementsg the frenzy of jac's lazy brother Glenn, over the beauty of Rosemaryg the numerous difhculties involved in producing a playg as well as the entertaining irascibility of Mr. Gray- son. When a gossipy neighbor lady, Mrs. Sparks, overhears a rehearsal scene, she mistakenly jumps to the conclusion that Rosemary and Dan are enf gaged. The news gets into the papers. Crushed at the news, .Iac and Glenn leave home in an unfriendly neighbor's sailboatg reporters fromanationalpicture magazine arrive: Mr. Grayson is forced to take over Glenn's role in the playg julia's domination of Mr. Grayson causes a slight rift in his marital relation- shipxall sorts of complications add to the comic uproar. Then jac returns with a job of her own. ln the last act, where new incidents keep the fun rippling, all the characters realize that they have changed a bit and have adjusted their relationships a little more wisely. julia March is no longer a tyrant: Rosemary grows up g Jac and Dick get together: everyone has had a memorable vacation. ,Iac Grayson ..,,.. .

At the curtain's rise we find Mr. Appopolous trying to sell Eileen and Ruth Sherwood on rent- ing his vacant onefroom basement studio. The girls have just arrived in New York City from Columbus, Ohio, and are not much interested in anything except a good night's sleep. They rent the apartment on the condition that if they do not like it their money will be refunded after one month. It isn't long before the girls discover that a sub- way is being built under their apartment. Another oversight is a large window directly on a level with the sidewalk. A few rusty iron window bars are all that separate the apartment from the outside world. Hoboes, wolves, policemen, street vendors, and other passersfby provide much hilarity throughout the play. Ruth and Eileen, a writer and an actress respecf tively, have come to New York to succeed. They have to pinch pennies whenever they cang therefore, Eileen is especially cordial to young men who will pay her lunch bills. Eileen and Ruth run into complications by allow- ing a character called the Wreck to sleep in their kitchen while his unknowing motherfinflaw is staying with his wife, Helen. Complications are furthered when a canvas from Mr. Appopolous bluefgreen period is stolen. Ruth and Eileen have been unable to further their ambitions. Finally Ruth gets a break. She is given an assignment in Brooklyn where a Brazilian training ship hasjust arrived. The assignment turns out to be a fake, but it does not lack excitement. Ruth returns to the apartment with four Barzilian sailors at her heels. A very entertaining scene fol- lows. Mr. Sherwood arrives on the scene determined to take Eileen and Ruth back to Columbus. Mean' while, eccentric, overstated Appopolous has conf vinced the girls, who are overjoyed at finding jobs in their respective fields, to sign a six months' lease. With the lease he guarantees certain improve- ments, including a ceasing of the blasting. The blasting did cease, but to take its place drilling started. The play comes to a hilarious end as a Sand Hog comes right through the apartment wall -drill in hand. Mr. Appopolous ,.... Ruth Sherwood ..... CAST OF CHARACTERS . . , .

Starting the season with an unpredictable squad, Doc Cornog molded together a team which rates as one of the best teams in his twentyffive years of coaching at Ridley Park. The Red and White won eight games as against one setfback, which came at the hands of Chester. Of the eight wins, six of the opponents were kept scoreless. This success may be credited to the line cooperation between the backfield and the line. The team made their first appearance when'they defeated a highly favored Collingdale elevenQ4J. The following week Lans- downe lost to the Parkers by a similar score. Appearing stronger than ever before, Ridley downed Media 1447. Chester came through with a 20-O victory over the Parkers, which was Ridley's only loss. But the Parkers staged a comefback by defeating Darby 13f-O. Going to the Township game as the underdog, the Parkers marched home with a 13-O Victory. The annual Thanksgiving game with Prospect Park gave Ridley Park their final win of the season, 26-37. The senior boys who were members of the squad are: Bill Bonsall, Charles Carpenter, George Daley, .lim Damonte, Jack Densmore, Ed Fisher, Bill Hetrick, Don Iviilne, Harry Moore, Joe Moore, Fred Stevenson, Bill Witham, and jack Zajac. Ray Cox and Donald Green were senior managers of the team. We, the class of '47, wish to express our appreciation to the team, Doc Cornog, Sam Godfrey, john Wilson, and to all who have helped to make the season a success.

Out of ten games, they won eight and tied two. The girls faithfully attended the practices, working hard on skills and techniques. With the exception of two players, the squad was inexperienced. However, pep, enthusiasm, and spirit, combined with teamwork and skill, produced a smooth-working team. The fact that the Parkers scored twenty-two goals to their opponents' four shows not only the clever stickwork and excellent ballfhandling of the forward line, but also the tight defense of the backfield. QS ln recognition of the team's fine record, the Student Council presented each member of the varsity squad with a silver hockey pin, on which is enf graved, Undefeated, R. P. H. S., '46. Although thejunior varsity squad did not have quite so successful a season as the varsity, they showed great promise for next year's team. They won two games, tied four, and lost four. The seniors on the teams were: Ruth Benjamin,Evelyn Douglas,Gladys Hart, Jeanne Hess, Barbara McLeod, Helene Meyers, Phyllis Morrison, Faye Perf singer, and Martha Rote. lt is our sincere hope that the team of next year has a season as successful as ours, and we wish them lots of luck. BASKETBALL Coach Sam Godfrey started the 1946-1947 basketball season with seven members of last year's varsity, one from the junior varsity, and four who had no previous experience on the basketball squad. After a month of tedious practice, the squad defeated Springf field, 44-I7, in the season opener. Clifton Heights was the next victim, losing 27-23. The Parkers then defeated Darby, 41-32, to prepare for the first league game with Eddy' stone. The Parkers, winning streak continued as Eddystone bowed, 29-23, and Prospect Park was toppled, 39-36. The Parkers' five' game winning streak ended as Ridley Town- ship upset the Parkers, 28-24. Media handed the Parkers their second loss by a score of 35-27 g however, the Parkers started a four- game winning streak defeating Glen-Nor, 33- 31, in a sudden death period, Swarthmore, 27-163 Eddystoneg 42-48, and Prospect Park, 45-41. Darby then handed the Parkers their third loss, 33-27. The Parkers countered by edging out Township, 34-32, but were held in check by ClenfNor, 41-31. The Parkers defeated Swarthmore, in the final game, 35-24, to go into a tie for first place with Ridley Township. A playfoff game at Yea- don resulted in a Township victory, 26-24, to put the Parkers in second place. Going into the P. I. A. A. state playfoffs, the Parkers defeated Lower Moreland, 32-27, and Sharon Hill, 34-29. Collingdale defeated the Parkers in Section I finals, 34-31. The squad finished in second place in Section IV league and were in the Section I finals of the state play-offs, which is a great accomplishf ment, considering the team was in last place the preceding season. The senior boys who were members of the squad are: George Daley, jack Densmore, Ed Fisher, Don Milne, Dick Moore, Harry Moore, Fred Stevenson, and jack Zajac. Much credit should be given to Coach God' frey and the entire squad for the successful season which they have had. The junior varsity, coached by Mr. Wunche, has also came through with a suc- cessful season. The team has won twelve games and lost only three. Mr. Wunche has done a good job in preparing the boys for future varsity positions. JUNIOR VARSITY Ridley Park ,.,,. Ridley Park ,....

The victories were over Media, Lansdowne, Chester, Ridley Township, and Springfield. The losses were to Darby, Swarthmore, Prospect Park and Eddystone. Even though the girls were defeated several times, they kept up their hardffighting spirit throughout the games and showed good sportsman-like feeling after their defeats. sixty girls turned out for this varsity sport. Many had to be eliminated because of the few players needed. Miss Bassoe carried a squad of twentyffive players, who dilif gently came out for practice and showed a great interest in their work. At Ridley Park High School for her first year, Miss Bassoe has become well known for her untiring help and it was under her guidf ance that the girls were able to bring home their victories. All the girls on the starting Iinefup were seniors. Jeanne Doering, june Bailey, and Gladys Hart were forwards, Helene Meyers, jean Sisson, and Phyllis Morrison consti- tuted the guarding section. The substitutes were Jeanne Hess, forward, and Elsie Rich' ards, guard. Gladys Hart was high scorer for the season with seventy-five points. Although the junior varsity had only one win to eight losses, they have shown fine spirit in all their games. Many of the junior varsity team players will be promoted to a varsity position next year. The seniors on the junior varsity team were Ellyn Buehl, Pat Brown, and Joyce Alexander, captain. We wish lots of luck to all those girls re- turning next year.

Bill Bonsall, county shot-put champion, jim ll-lurtt and Ed Messey, quarter-milersg john Lullai, discus and shot putterg john Miller, sprinter, joe Moore, milerg Dick Pow- ley, halffmilerg George Mullen, pole vaulter and hurdlerg Harold Unrah, discusg Charles Carpenter, shot putter, Bob Moore, milerg jim Damonte, hurdler, and George Daley, shot putter, are the boys who have had at least one year's experience and have scored in last year's meets. Most prominent of the new candidates this spring are: jack Colf flesh, a sprinterg Bob Horne, a middle dis' tance runner, jim Mullen, pole vaulter, and jack Densmore, a shot putter and middle distance runner. The season began in the last weeks of March on the few nice days which appeared. On these days the fellows ran a few laps around the track and got winter's kinks out of their muscles. Since the team was not expected to be as strong as is usually produced, the boys showed surprising ability in their first com- petition, the interclass meet. This ability was best displayed by the talented juniors who overscored the other classes. The Lansf downefRidley Park meet, which provided the season's first interscholastic competition, was a gratifying one for Ridley Park, Lans- downe was defeated. Collingdale and Eddy' stone recorded similar victories for Ridley Park while Chester defeated us rather badly. Bill Bonsall, john Lullai, john Miller, George Mullen, jack Colflesh, jack Densmore, Ed Messey and Malcolm Scheid have been our leading point scorers in these meets. CRCSS-CCUNTRY This year coach William Wunche organf ized the cross country team as a major sport of Ridley Park High School. Mr. Wunche had little experienced material to start with, hut had a successful season in winning hye meets as against three setfhacks. Besides the scheduled meets, the team participated in an open meet, the Marcus Lions. Don Wheeler and Ed Waldon won medals for placing, Ed Waldon also set a new course record atRidley Park for the 224' mile course in a time of 12.02. The senior hoys who were memhers of the 5 squad and earned their letters were Bolw Moore, Dick Bell and manager Ray johnson.

Starting the 1946 football season with a squad of twenty candidates, Coach Frank Waltz shaped a team which has had a good season. The team had won two games, tied one, and lost three. They have outscored their opponents in total season scoring, hftyf four points for the freshmen and thirtyfeight for the opponents. Many of the members of the squad have shown outstanding ability and will offer next season's varsity and junior varsity members to bolster the squads. The little Parkers lost their season opener to Darby, l3e0, but came back strong to defeat GlenfNor, 20e0. Springfield stopped the Parkers, l2f7, and the Green Raiders of Township held the Parkers, 13-7. Recoverf ing from two defeats, the Parkers playeo a scoreless tie with Lansdowne. The final game was a decisive victory over Yeadon, 20-0. PRES!-IMAN TRACK As the track season drew near an enthuf siastic group of freshman track candidates anxiously awaited the issue of equipment. For many of these boys, track season meant their first chance to participate in an inter- scholastic meet and for all of them a chance to get out and stretch after a long winter. When the weather permitted Mr. Boyd organized his team. He found a large squad of about forty boys, including some of the seventh and eighth graders, ready and rarf ing to go. These boys spent about an hour each day after school running around the track and practicing the weights and jumps under the guiding hand of Mr. Boyd. The freshman schedule consisted of four dual meets with nearby schools in May, in addition to the Penn Relays and the Delaf ware County track meet where they ran a mile relay. Tom Ziegenfuss, Al Messey, Bob Lewis, Ireland Caffey, Austin Wylam, Robert l-lane sen, Bob Wilson, Francis Burke, George Smith, Alvin Converse, William Kenis, George Hearn, Michael Skiba and james Singleton appear to be the most promising candidates, however, many of the boys, as yet, have not had a chance to show what they really can do. BUYS PRES!-llVlEN BASKETBALL Under the expert direction of Mr. Samuel Godfrey, the boys in the Freshman class formed a basketball team. There was a large number of boys who came out for basketabll. Of course, all the boys could not be usedg but a large part of them were. The boys showed spirit and tight as well as athletic ability. The main purpose for organizing this team was to prepare the boys for Varsity Basketball later on. lt was also a way of making familiar the rules and ways of playing. The group this year has shown a great deal of promise and it is a certainty that the Varsity of 1950 will be a victorious and good one. GIRLS' FRESI-IMAN BASKETBALL TEAM When the call for players interested in the freshman basketball team was sent out, many girls responded. All girls in the junior High were eligible. Since only eighteen players were needed, many had to be turned down. The chosen players attended the scheduled practices on Mondays and Wedbesdays durf ing the activity periods. This was all the practice they had, and they used it to good advantage. Although their record shows two wins to three losses, they have shown much pep and spirit in their games. Many of these players will become varsity material in future years. The regular linefup for the freshman varf sity was: Barbara Ann Grant, Shirley Mar- tin, jean Dugan, forwards, and Mary Witham Elsie Childress, and jean Cottrill, guards. The freshman junior varsity won only one game and had three losses. Their line-up was: Nancy Baierlein, Peggy Mayhugh, Ruth Gordon, forwards: and janet Grifrith, Melissa Moore, and Nancy Morrison, guards. VARSITY Ridley Park Darby. . . Ridley Park ,.... Smedley. . .

Only girls in the Senior High were eligible to participate in this sport and fortyffive girls joined. This year is the first year that softball has been made a varf sity sport at Ridley Park. Those girls who have played more than half of the sched- uled games will receive their varsity letters at the end of the season. The first game of the season was with Chester and turned out to be a loss for Ridley Park, 95. Other scheduled games are with Eddystone, Darby, Collingdale, Upper Darby, Prospect Park, and Ridley Park. The girls who were picked to play on the team were those who at- tended the practices regularly. The Hrst team consisted mainly of seniors and several juniors. The junior varsity also played their first game with Chester and lost, 2249. The girls on this year's team hope that the fol- lowing teams have many successful seasons.

SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE 'l'he dances are held by various classes and organizations every Saturday night in the school gym. All the latest records are played, and everyone has a good time. This year we started out as usual by having the dances open to everyone. However, Ridley Park suddenly developed a strange attraction and the floor became so crowded that it was almost impossible to dance. To remedy this condition, the dances were closed to all except residents and students of Ridley Park. This plan cut down the attendance somewhat, but the students came through, and the dances continued to be a success, right up to the last one. .- ,Q 2 ,E Q hx i . . ,A .Q 1 Qx -mx mg-wmzivi eq , COMPLIMENTS OF LEHNIANS UAH Fourth and Sem1no1e Avenues Lester, Pa M.
