At the head of this distinguished group is the Superintendent and his assistant. Included among the duties of these Township educators is the management of the school district's elementary schools, junior high, and senior high. The various problems add to the routine of an aver- age day. Now, with the enormous build- ing program taking place within the Township, the unique capabilities of these men are evident. Throughout this entire administrative era, a rapid fire growth of all Township schools has been in evidence. Even with this sudden rise in population these men have provided an excellent educational system. Provisions have been made, dur- ing the years, for qualified personnel in harmony with attractive buildings and high scholastic standards. MR. JOHN W. O'BRlEN MR. ROBERT V. DONATO M.A., Temple Univ.

Student leaders, David Lake and XVilliam Evonslcy, examine the school seal. R T H.S. adopts coat-of-arms of Ridley family Since this was a disgrace to the Ridley family, they supplied beef to the King's army. Thus, the crown and bullls head were added to the shield which meant that the family had repented and was once again in the good graces of royalty. Appearing below the crest in Latin is the family motto, Coustaus Fideif' meaning constantly faithful. The three circles or balls represented the Penn and Medigy families. The families were druggists and the balls were symbols of pills, but if the balls are put in a cluster the sign of a pawn shop is formed which was also an occupation of the two families. W'e of Ridley Township have adopted this seal, not at random, but primarily because our high school is erected on the area of land which is the oldest section of the Ridley Pol Estate. Ridley Township High School with special permission in 1934 adopted the official coat of arms of the Nicholas Ridley family for the school seal. The original family crest may now be found on display in Stationer's Hall in London among the crests of prominent families who were in good graces with roy- alty at one time or another. Originally from Chestershire, England, the Ridley family received a grant of land from XVilliam Penn long before there was a United States. Sett- ling in the Crum Creek valley on an estate they named 'fRidley Pol, the Ridleyis brought cattle herds which were the begin- ning of Pennsylvania's dairy industry. On the crest, which is in the shape of a shield, are three falcons, the sign of royal approval. Across the seal is a band known as the bar sinister. The bar represented trouble and was frowned upon by royalty. 1934. Q17 6 1 29,59 Q 4' E as Mun' IN THE CLASSROOMS L ww US' x 'M AQ 1 , 6 4, if A W 'Q ,x K -5 -Am M, ?A '-5 X K -A -Q.

It is they who have made Ridley Township High School the eflicient organization that it is. Mr. Norman B. L. Ferguson, principal, and Mr. Van S. Evangelou, assistant prin- cipal, compose a capable administrative team that is striving always to improve con- ditions for the benefit of students and faculty. Because the high school as an institution of learning has become increasingly impor- tant, the prineipalis job is not an easy one and many hours of work and effort are put forth lay these men. Satisfaction is gained, however, when they see fine citizens pass through the doors at graduation. ll n rx, 'mlm fm nr. 1. A ,H -,' Ki' myth. VR. A A 1 ' 1 . 1 1. 4 A .

PETER YACYK Donald and Richafd Haschak' GUIDANCE-Encouragement for greater heights Society today calls for many adjustments to its problems and complexities. These challenges highlight the work of the guidance department. Through personal interviews, underclassmen are assisted in selecting a program of study. The recommendations made are based on the in- dividual's academic accomplishments, his abili- ties, and his vocational aspirations. All students are guided in a well rounded course selection. College preparatory students are acquainted with the prerequisites of the particular school each has in mind. If a choice has not been made, suggestions are given for the one which will best meet his financial and vocational needs. Seeking suitable employment is one of the major problems facing a senior who has de- cided not to continue with formal education. A job placement bureau was established to assist all students in Hnding either full-time or part- time work. No problem is too insigniicant for the guid- ance counselor. Almost psychiatric in nature, the adviser is ready to help the maladjusted or the deeply perplexed. In situations of a more serious nature, the individual is referred to the school psychologist. MR.

The LIBRARY-Foundation of learning Reference books, capable assistance, and a quiet atmosphere conducive to study are provided by the school library. NVhen research work is required, the li- brary is filled to capacity because this is the school's storehouse for reference. If a good novel is desired, the well stacked bookshelves are consulted. Library aids are always busy catalog- ing, checking books and pamphlets, Above: Locating a book is easy when you know bow to use the card catalogue, explains Miss Colc- man to Eleanor Delgott. Right: Return date is stamped in book by janet Ellis as Betty Hopkins signs the library record card. stamping passes, and keeping noise to a minimum. On a reserve shelf teachers set aside special materials dealing with their particular courses. The staff distributes to all homerooms current lists of recommended books. Through the use of the library facili- ties, the student body acquires much ad- ditional and interesting information not found in the classroom. MR.

Students in Mr. Claude Buchanan's class enjoy not only speaking the language but, learning about the customs and people of Spain. LANGUAGE-The key to understandin America's increasing magnitude as a leader in foreign affairs has kindled a desire and a need for a thorough knowledge of the lan- guages of other countries. To be able to com- municate with the people of these countries and to understand their cultures, the present generation should be acquainted with at least one foreign language. To provide the students with this opportu- nity, the curriculum consists of courses in French, German, and Spanish. Latin, the basis of the Romance Languages and the source of many English words, is also available to those who plan to continue their education. Through the use of records and the newly acquired record player, the classes can imitate the accents of people speaking in their native tongue. This addition to the department has proven both effective and enjoyable. Township's language department should be commended on its patience and guidance in teaching students an unfamiliar language.

Department Head MRS. MARTHA BURKE A.B., Swarthmore College 7 Bailled by diagraming, Ed Michelson looks to Mrs. lane Smith for help. Language is the focal point of life. Without this impor- tant medium of communication there would be no learning and hence, no civilization. Aims of the English Department are two-fold - to facili- tate the use of the oral language and to understand the written. To achieve the first aim, students are instructed to use proper grammer and to speak coherently before a group. The second aim is accomplished by the develop- ment of effective writing techniques through composition work, and the understanding of and an appreciation for the literary heritage of the English-speaking people. If any student conscientiously reviews his debt to Eng- lish, he will realize, without a doubt, that it is the English language which gives him a glimpse of the past, a realistic interpretation of the present, and the promise of a bright future.

In order to defend and maintain our American Way of life, it is essential that stu- dents be familiar with the meaning of de- mocracy and its underlying principles. Through social studies courses, pupils are prepared to assume grave responsibilities and take 'their places as well-informed citi- Zcns in the world of tomorrow. Complying with the state course of study, this high school requires a year of United States Historyg the senior year is spent con- sidering Problems of Democracy. These courses provide background of our coun- try's growth and its major problems in the world today. Sociology and World History are electives that are highly recommended for an understanding of modern civilization and the many contributions of the people of the world. To broaden the scope of social studies, classes participate in planned trips to mu- seums, industry, and institutions. Visual aids also play a major part in assuring under- standing of world cultures and problems.

Chemistry and physics, which explore the chemical and physical properties of matter, and biology, which delves into the study of plant and animal life, are offered to the student who wishes to seek a more detailed study in the scientific field. These science courses prepare the student to meet the necessary qualifications in order to pursue this field in college or in a vocation. Applied science may he elected by any non-academic student who wants to learn more about the practical application of scientific laws and principles. W- '9' get Q E . il- 'ill MR.

Cl In this day and age, mathematics is becoming a more impor- tant aspect of our everyday lives. To keep abreast of the times, Ridley Township Senior High School offers a variety of courses adapted to individual needs and the demands of a fast changing world. The college prepara- tory students take Algebra I and Plane Geometry as pre-requisites for college entrance. Electives for this group are Algebra II, Solid Geometry and Plane Trigonometry. For pupils of the general course there are two years of general mathematics planned to strengthen basic fundamentals. Practical math is enjoying its second successful year as part of the curriculum. This is designed to encourage the student who is interested in mathematics but has little intention of further schooling. The course is chiefly concerned with problems in in- dustry and daily life. Newly added this year for the more able scholar is Advanced Mathematics, an introduction to college mathematics. Teachers of this department strive to lead and direct in this important field by opening the doors to new reahns of thought and study.

Business world welcomes commercial graduates Speed and accuracy.', Business Educa- tion students are undoubtedly familiar with this well-known phrase. Not only is it the motto of most classes, but it is also the aim of every sincere student. High standards represent an attainable goal for all to achieve. Anyone interested in specializing in the field of business has a choice of three divisions: Secretarial, Cler- ical and Accounting. While studying in the commercial department, pupils enroll in courses such as typing, bookkeeping, busi- ness math, consumeris education, secretarial training, clerical practice, banking and short- hand. Each specialized group trains the student to meet and surpass the require- ments of the business world. Every year the Business Education de- partment proudly contributes to the gradu- ating class many well prepared secretaries.

Any girl interested in improving her abilities as a homemaker finds unlimited opportunities in the Home lkianagenient and Household Arts classes. Since a homemaker is responsible for maintaining an attractive home and caring for children, the course is devoted to decorat- ing and furnishing, sewing and child care. Cooking class teaches the importance of a well-balanced diet and the preparation of appealing. nutritious meals. In addition to her duties as cook, nurse, and interior decorator, the homemaker as the treasurer of the household also requires a knowledge of budget planning. Moreover, since the modern young matron is expected to be poised and well-groomed, a unit emphasizing personal appear- ance, personality, and the selection of a suitable wardrobe is also profitable. Knowledge and valuable experience gained in this depart- ment are vital in any girlis life whether she becomes a career girl or a wife and mother.

Through participation in group sports, such as hockey, soccer, basketball, volley- ball, and baseball, the gym classes develop a spirit of cooperation and fair play. A well rounded extra-curricular program, including intramural as well as varsity sports, strength- ens individual abilities and a sense of team work. Along with the development of the body in gym class, a course in Health stresses the care and functioning of the mind and body.

Self expression Studying the fine arts adds culture to any cur- riculum and Ridley Township High is fortunate to have a rich program. There are various classes in each respective field for those possessing artistic or musical talent. Art majors receive training in techniques of sketching portraits, work in charcoal, tempora, oils, water colors, and pencil work. Commercial art classes provide work in free lance sketching, poster work and costume design- ing in preparation for a future in advertising. in vi? MRS. RUTH PALANICA B.S., Univ. of Perma. Skettlung portraits in chalk is one phase of art presented during the school year. Left to right: and creativeness Ceneral Crafts, an elective, enables others to nurture interests in modeling clay and plaster, work in papier maehe, mosaics, hammer work and handicrafts. Many of these prospective artists carry their interest into community and nationally sponsored contests. Music majors find food for their musical hunger in a variety of choral and instrumental groups. Several choral groups encourage those with real desires and ability to sing. The A capella Choir, Mixed Chorus, and Girls' Clee Club spend long hours practicing and perfecting selected arrange- ments for recitals. Colorguard, Majorettes, and the Band com- bine their arts to provide entertainment and a display of skillful coordination at football games and concerts throughout the year. Theory and Harmony allow the more serious musician the basic foundation necessary for fur- ther musical study. However, in contrast, Music for Enjoyment is designed purely for the appre- ciation of good music. Through the wide variety of courses, students can acquire a fundamental knowledge of the arts, which enables them to appreciate and understand.

Ridley Township High School recognizes and fulfills these needs through the Driver Education course. Fundamentals of driving safety, taught lmy trained in- structors, give the students the knowledge and assurance needed to pass their driving test successfully. Given in one semester, this course consists of classroom theory and the actual handling of the car. Efficient driving habits gained from this training reward the students in many ways and provide greater safety for every driver on the highway.

Typing and distribu- tion of announcements, arranging conferences for teachers and parents, and keeping efficient attendance records are all part of a general routine. These busy secretaries also have the magic formula to open a stubborn locker, and they always seem to have that book that somehow found its way into lost and found .

Their first per- formance was held at the flag-raising ceremony on October 2-1, 1934. The band made many public ap- pearances during the year, including an operetta, Alabama Boundu, in conjunction with the Clee Club. That first active year set a fine precedent for organ- izations of the next twenty-four years to uphold. The official opening of the new school, on October 1, l934, with students enrolling from a host of sur- rounding communities, showed a need for unity in action. Soon, Student Council, Clee Club, Archive stafl, Emerald staff, and many clubs joined the ranks of the already organized band. School publications have made gi'eat strides through- out the United States in the past quarter century. From the initial edition of the Arelzice, the various animal stalfs endeavored to record the memorable events of the school year. Striving to keep the stu- dent body well informed was the magazine, the Enieruld. inineographed bi-monthly. In 1942, this magazine was replaced by the Newspaper, Green Raider, which is still published once a month. Faculty and students realized that recognition for scholarship,' service, leadership, and character was essential. Therefore, in 1938, the Ridley Township High School chapter of the National Honor Society was chartered. Unity is strength and strength is growth. Certainly, this has been experienced through the development of the organizational abilities of hundreds of students over a 25 year period.

Through daily classroom work, the chorus was able to present three successful concerts. Christmas was made especially memorable by the presentation of a religious concert. The program began with an impressive candlelight procession, continued through all the standard Christmas songs and ended on the stirring strains of the Hallelujah Chorusf, Though not as serious in theme as the pre- ceding one, the next performance was just as pleasant. Centered on campus, College Dazei' afforded the chorus the opportunity to display its versatility. Several solos, a variety of pop, swing and sacred music made this concert out- standing. In the spring, thoughts of the festival were prevalent in the minds of both band and chorus members, for this is the major combined eHort of both groups for the year. Fancy spring dresses, fresh new music, and lovely voices were a delightful addition to the spring season. Bringing to a close an eventful year, the chorus, singing in the capacity of a choir, added much to the church-like atmosphere of the tra- ditional Baccalaurate service.

CLUBS - ' To everyone at Ridley Township the club program plays a minor yet effective role. Although only one hour of the week is de- voted to meetings, much is offered to enrich the experiences of the groups. Enthusiasts succeed in encouraging interests in hobbies, sports, and handicrafts. ART - Many art enthusiasts find it impos- sible to roster art classes into their busy schedules. Mrs. Ruth Palanica organized the 'F'-W Art Club primarily for these people. Profit- ing from skilled instruction, they improve their techniques and find satisfaction in worth-while hobbies.

BIBLE STUDY -Inspiring hymns echo through the halls every Wednesday after school when Mrs. jane Smith's Bible Club opens its meeting. The club attains its goal of acquainting students with the scriptures by listening to speakers, enjoying suitable movies, and studying the Bible. Participa- tion in weekend camping trips, rallies, and socials round out its program. AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE - Intricacies and mechanics of a car are no longer a mystery to the girls who spend a year in Automotive Service Club. The basic fundamentals of car-care and handling are emphasized once weekly for the female contemporaries of the vocational boys. Gathering around the piano for hymn singing is a regular part of each Bible Club meeting.

Possible problems concerning musical arranging and the solving of them are also studied. The ultimate aim of all is to ably conduct a singing group with a pro- fessional sounding quality. CRAFTS - Although not all boys schedule shop, they may have the desire to be creative. Thus, Mr. Isaac Styer organized a Crafts Club where these boys are given the opportunity to mold useful objects from various materials such as leather, wood, plastics, and ceramics. A few club masterpieces earn places of honor at the school's annual Spring Exhibit. With Mr. Lee Linn accompanying, Judy Larney takes her turn in practicing the,day's lesson.

Others: Ronald Saxman, George Smith, Bob Misturak, George Noel. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA - With an increas- ing need for better teachers, an insight of teaching principles may provoke a desire in youth to take its place in the education field. The F. T.

A. members study catalogues of various state teach- ers colleges. B. Gaynor, L. Thompson, Miss Alice Ditzler, M. Dunne, I. Fritch, B. Anderson. Using the map to assist her, Miss Marie Komanowska dis- cusses various dialects of Germany with Ioan Romberger, john Janik, Diane English, jim Arnold and Randi Landis. GOLF- With an ardent golfer like Mr. Wynne as sponsor, how can the club go wrong? Members ea- gerly learn the rudiments of the game while acquir- ing correct golf etiquette. The boys top it off at the end of the school year by going the full eighteen at the Springfield Country Club. P rovide stimulus for INDUSTRIAL ARTS FOR GIRLS - Self expression finds many forms.

Cc v L,- -.1 row in responsibility and stature attaining variou Looking forward with anticipation to their senior ear, the underclassmen are afforded all the privi- eges normally granted to any freshman, sophomore, r junior of any secondary school. Through the years 1935 to 1959, the activities of mderclassmen changed considerably with the growth if classes and the enlargement of financial and moral esponsihilities. Increased interest in the sponsorship f assemhlics, monetary projects, dances, and plays iave added to the long list of underclass functions. Soon after the first successful play, Bumski , pre- ented hy the Class of '35, the underelassmen de- 'eloped this idea even more and began presenting junior and a sophomore play. The Sophomore three ne-act plays, a tradition still active today, was orig- nated hy the Class of '38 in their Sophomore year. Becoming more important year after year, mem- iers of these classes have shown prominence in daily chool life through the student government, publi- 'ations, music, sports, and class activities. In an effort o increase the treasury, underclassxnen have spon- ored, among other things, magazine drives, card marties, dances, sale of candy, Christmas cards, and tationcry. XVith the help of the sponsors, these youngsters earn the art of democratic living for the good of heir class and the school. 1934 - Underclassmen of 25 years ago enjoy their lunch in the cafeteria which is now he machine shop of ltidley Township Senior High. 950 - Enjoying lunch in our cafeteria are T.

Sec- During the first weeks of school the enthusi- asm long associated with the Class of 1960 was already evident in its'activities. After months of impatient waiting, the stu- dents finally received their class rings. Ridleyls halls resounded with happy voices as the shiny, new rings were traditionally turned sixty times on every junior linger. One of the big tasks for any class is to boost its treasury for that big Senior Year. Profits from the Christmas card sale in the fall and the sale of candy throughout the year achieved this desired result. It was only through the hard work of the members of this class that success was realized. Dream Fantasy, an assembly presented for the enjoyment of the students, was hilariously received by the audience. A wide variety of -lt?-nm i t 2 Q 5 3 ond row: Barbara Andersong joan XVhirlowg Betty lirogang Tom ligbertg Kay Agnewg Meredith llo- berts, Third row: Roberta Amondg lloy lflowersg Kay livansg Donna Rubincamg jucly Knott. talent was displayed through its ingenious skits. More class talent was exhibited on February 7, when the juniors presented their play, Every- thing Ilnppens to Us, a comedy in three acts. Social highlights in the fall spotlight:-cl the Class Party, a unique masquerade. Each junior arrived berobed to represent his favorite record title. Being tapped for National Honor Society while still a junior is an honor each student covets. Anticipation mounted through the year until March when the most outstanding juniors were chosen to don the traditional Honor So- ciety robe. May 15, the long awaited night of the junior Hop finally arrived. Dancing at the Club Del ltio was a climatic ending to a year full of hap- piness, fun and excitement. JUNIORS anxiously view for horizons An unusual idea for the Iunior Party brightens the faces of the junior officers and sponsors.

Square dancing, directed by a professional caller, seemed quite a challenge-even to the rock 'n roll enthusiasts. In November the class sponsored a regular Saturday night dance that resulted in a record turnout. This year's three one-act plays, presented traditionally by the yearlings of the school, didnit collect any academy awards, MR. SAMUEL MILLER Head Sponsor MISS DOROTHY HAMPTON Since future plans for the sophomore class are important, class sponsors begin planning early. Miss Dorothy Hampton, Mr. Isaac Styer, Miss l Judith Miller, Mr. Samuel Miller, head sponsor. but they were tops with everyone fortunate enough to see them. Any job worth doing is worth doing well, seems to be the motto of the sophomore class. By March they were ready to present their assembly, which remained equally memor- able to audience and participants. With the coming of spring the most awaited night of every sophomore finally arrived. The Soph Hop was the biggest affair of the year and one long to be remembered. Looking back on its sophomore year, the class of '61 has mixed emotions of pride and regret for a wonderful year too quickly spent, but it also looks with eagerness and confidence to the exciting years ahead.

Always composed of eager myers, Township's well-coached teams have made dley a name to be respected in any contest. From the inauguration of sports in the fall of '34, len the football squad was undefeated, to the 25th niversary year when the gridders again were un- nquered, our players have forged ahead to many rrthwhilc honors. The years '34, '38, '44, '48, '51, d '58 featured gridiron championships. Basketball fans boast of the championship teams of D, '43, '46, '50, '53, and '55 for the titles they be- iwed upon the school. Baseball, which copped crowns in '49 and '53, ,ck, and cross country were all part of the athletic iedule in the 1934-35 school year. Due to lack of 'erest, however, baseball was dropped from the ogram until 1947. The newest boys' sport, soccer, ded in 1957, has gained many followers. Cirls' basketball, the first sport for the feminine thusiasts, contended with hockey in the second tool year of 1935-36. In 1951, a girls' softball team is organized. lts popularity grew so rapidly that it is dubbed a varsity sport in 1955. No matter what type of season our athletic teams ve had, they have always upheld the fine tradi- vnal good sportsmanship and fair play exemplified Ridley Township. 935 W Smiling broadly, the first Girls' Basketball team of, Ridley Township poses for :ieir pictures, Posing are: Miss Connolly, M.

L. to R.: Bob Adams, joe McNicholas, Phil Marion, Ted Beck. Ridley Townshipis Green Raiders, in their most startling gridiron contest in history, converted a possible average year into an undefeated, nntied season. Rolling up victory after victory, the vic- torious eleven put the finishing touches on the Section I Championship and captured the title of most outstanding team in the Delaware Valley. With the hot, relentless August sun for a part- ner, the ,58 squad began to take shape early. A week at Camp Skymount in the Poconos was the final stage of preparation for a team destined to reach the heights. When Norristown invaded the Ridley field for the opening game, the Raiders not only displayed an impressive attack but, much to the surprise of the Eagles, put up a strong defense as well, and wrapped up an 18-0 victory. Harriton, Lower Merion's new entry into the league, became Ridley's next victim. After the first quarter, it was apparent that the new school was going through growing pains, and Township gained the honors with ease. The Green and YVhite power received its crucial test in meeting Lower Merion on the home field. In the Green Raiders, triumph over the Aces, the Ridley team exhibited one of the smoothest work- ing T-formation backfields to hit Delaware County in many a year. VVhen Ridley met Chester, the Clippers ex- perienced losing to a sizzling team whose beauti- fully drilled offense ran wild in capturing an easy victory. Blazing their way to the championship with confidence soaring, the Raiders found Upper Darby in their path and provoked a devastating removal with a 62-14 sco1'e.

Long to be remembered as a lesson in over-con- fidence, the Interboro game left the Green and White fans with lumps in their throats. The Sec- tion III, undefeated Interboro Bucs almost pulled a major upset, but were removed from their pedestal in the final minute and twenty seconds of one of the finest schoolboy engagements ever witnessed in this area. Township reached its climactic peak when a capacity crowd of over five thousand fans per- ceived the wild battle of two previously unbeaten Suburban I rivals. Ridley's sheer crushing power and marvelous display of defensive football jelled the Fords with a devastating 38-26 performance. Plymouth-Whitcmarsh, another new and inex- perienced team, was a clean sweep for Township's driving power. Ridley's explosive club, molded by head coach Phil Marion and his assistants, let nothing stand in its way and Eddystone, the traditional Thanks- giving rival, was no exception. With an over abundance of enthusiasm and the drive to force Eddystone to retain the renowned Oil Can, the Raiders not only romped the Stoners but brpke two records as well. Through an unusual combination of speed, the will to win, top notch coaching, and the indom- itable spirit of Ridley Township High School, the Raiders were deadly to all opponents and made their last year in Section I memorable by pro- ducing one of the finest scholastic football teams in the history of the school. eighteen straight victories --------I K . as Robert Adam, coach, Row 3: Mr. Phil Marion, head coachg Sonny Wagner, Frank Iaconog Ron jacobsteing Bob Evans, Ron Thomasg Bob Nagurneg Dave Lake, Dave McNultyg jim Brunkeg Bill Bullardg Ray Witowskig Frank Potter, Bob Pierce, Phil XVatts, Mitch Pennington, Dave Zitarellig Dave McKee, Richard Zeiglcr, Mr. Ted Beck, coach.

HARRIERS display fine winning spirit One of the finest seasons in the history of Cross Coun- try at Ridley Township was enjoyed this year with a record of 8 wins and 13 loses. NVith many outstanding individual performers, the squad was one of the best in its league and third best in Section 1. To run Township's eourse of 2,3 miles both endur- anee and stamina are needed. Credit should be given to the boys for running this eourse daily regardless of weather conditions. Their hard work and routine prac- tice proved very worthwhile at the close of the season. Creat prospects are held for next year's Harriers. XVith the return of several experienced letterwinners, the '59 teain should have a very successful season. Surging ahead, Curt Fromal sets the paee for a Township victory over Lower Merion. is K Physical stamina, exerted by Don Sellers proved an asset to a successful cross country team.

Ridley Township Highis youngest varsity sport is beginning to come into its own. The 1958 soccer team, fighting against heavily favored opponents, proved itself worthy of praise. Progress that soccer has made in the three years of its existence at Ridley was demonstrated by the playing of this team. Leadership of the entire squad was under co-captains Ron Mt-Clellan and Vince jordan. Their ability to inspire the team to greater effort is a tribute to their leadership. Indicative of the spirit and determination-shown by the boys all season is the winning record of eight wins, three ties, and seven losses. This driving desire to win was displayed in the Hnal game of the season when they upset first place Lower Merion.

Sharpshootmg RIDLEY FIVE stuns opponents Co, go Raiderslu With a loud clapping of hands and a resounding stomping of feet, the chant thundered throughout the gymnasium. This familiar sound let everyone know that the ltidley quintet was pounding the hardwood and ready to match any opponent. Battling uphill in the early season games and winning by only narrow margins. the cagers de- veloped, through practice and determination, into the hottest five in the area. The loss to Chester, the 1959 Eastern State Champions, jolted an in- spired team. From then on their spark could not be dimmed. They bounced back from this defeat into a string of victories at the expense of such powerful clubs as Lower Merion. Cheltenham, Upper Darby, and the 1958 State Champs, Hav- erford. After seven straight wins, the courtmen were ready again to face highly favored Chester on home Court. Superb ball handling. sharp shooting, and unique team work pulled the biggest upset of the year. Unbeaten Chester's winning streak was snapped at 20 by a 54-52 decision as the buzzer sounded. The phenomenal drive of the llaiders was matched only by the undying support of the student body. Although the smallest team in the tough Sec- tion I competition, they were never out played and only rarely outscored. Contrary to all predic- tions, the season ended with a I6-G record. The courtmen Hnished a close race in third place in a league which has produced two consecutive East- ern State Champions. Sharing honors is the hustling junior varsity Squad which finished first in the league. NVithout a doubt, we have a great team shaping up for the l960 season.

Despite these drawbacks, outstanding coaching by Mr. Robert Adam and his assistant, Mr. Ioseph McNicholas shaped the individual talents into a well-balanced club with sufficient confidence and team spirit to surmount all handicaps. Setting a fast pace in early games, the Raiders easily bcttered last year's record of 7 wins and 9 losses. Midscason found the boys in a tie for first place with a crack Chester team. Exceptionally Hne pitching, spectacular fielding, and timely hitting combined to yield one of the best records in the Hfteen year baseball history at Ridley.

Ridley Township High has always been a name re- spected in athletics, but particularly so during this past year. Early in fall three different sports vied for varsity participants from a male student body of less than five hundred. Soccer, cross-country, and football each ended with fine winning sea- sons. The basketball quintet rolled up the best record since 1953. Track and baseball also caught the fever and they too blazed the fields with Township victories. Breaking present standings seemed to be the secret ambition of each group as individual and team scoring records were shattered, making this year in sports a truly remarkable one. ...H..,...........,,44.5seconds Rodger Clarke - Delbert Delozier Frank Iacono - Alvin Slusher 2 MILE ....,,..........., 8:42 minutes Richard Clower - Steven Hall Gerald Harter - john Hulstine MEDLEY .............. 11 :25.6 minutes 880 - Gerald Harter 440 - James Dickerson 93 mile - Richard Clower Mile - Steven Hall Addition of boy cheerleaders added zest to school spirit in '59.

H6 prepared to encounter difficult problems of an e Beginning a new era of school life for Ridley Town- ship, the Class of 1935, hailing from eight different schools, had the privilege of being the first graduat- ing class of the newly formed high school. From the original class of 51 members, Ridlcy's Senior census increased to 106 in 1939, to 120 in 1949, to 187 in 1958, and the largest in the history of the school, the class of 1959 graduated 269 members. Bumski,', the senior play held on December 22, 1934, was the first senior project ever to be under- taken in the new school. The classes of y35, '36, and ,37, each presented two plays in their senior years, but every class thereafter followed suit with one three-act play. The Class of 1959 altered this tra- dition and presented a variety show, Pass in Re- viewu, as its final thespian production. Class trips have climaxed four years of school activities for each graduating class. From 1935 through 1941 the excursion to Washington was made by bus, train, or boat. However, during the war years a trip to New York was substituted. The Washing- ton trip was resumed in 1947 and will continue through 1960. Working together on various class projects and activities has brought about a feeling of fellowship among classmates and faculty advisers unequaled in its rewards. 1949- Members of thc fifteenth gflltllltlllllg class of llidlcy 'l 1935 A Making a brief stop while on their VVashington trip these stu the Conawingo Dam Project. 1935- First graduating class members proudly pose as they prepare to step out into the world. l956- Receiving the class presidential stole, symbolic of the passing down of :hc senior class presidency, from j.

THE TWENTY-FIFTH on the threshold As the hand of thanks is extended to the officers, we begin to reflect upon a senior year overflowing with the fervor and enthusiasm for which the class of '59 is celebrated, XVho will be able to forget our outstanding senior assembly set in Anthony's Pizzeria or the excitement of receiving senior proofs? Through the brisk autumn weather seniors worked selling hot dogs and sodas at the foot- ball games and sponsored the traditional Thanksgiving Oil Can Dance. The year reached its half-way mark with the sale of Christmas candy. Rehearsals, ticket sales, scenery painting, fun, short tempers and hubbub aptly describe the preparations for our Senior Variety show pre- sented on March 20. For the overwhelming ap- plause we received, the hard work was well worth all the trouble. After spring vacation we began to savor what was left of our rapidly ending senior year. The YVashington trip helps us recall varied and wonderful experiences of our three thrill packed days in our nationis capitol.

Truly, an occasion to remember! Our last weeks of school were marked by finals, report cards, fittings for caps and gowns, and graduation rehearsal. Our Class Night was climaxed by the distribution of the biggest and most beautiful Archive, the twenty-fifth year- book for the twenty-fifth graduating class of Ridley Township High School. Suddenly it was Commencement Night. The long walk down the aisle in cap and gown, the receiving of our diplomas, the tears of joy and sadness, and then our Senior year -just a memory. It can be said that the class of '59 had the golden touch of Midas in that everything they undertook became a huge success. In helping to make our dreams come true we would like to thank our officers who gave their time to plan DELBERT DELOZIER Vice-President BARBARA MacDONALD Treasurer and participate in all our class activities.

Proms, semi-formals, and Saturday night dances have been lively school functions from the outset. The first junior class held a dinner reception for the senior class, and in return the juniors were invited to a senior dance. This reciprocation of hospitality was traditional through 1944. The prom then became a junior-senior affair and from 1956 on each class has held its own dance. Thanksgiving Day 1937 saw the start of the annual Oil Can Dance climaxing our traditional football clash with Eddystone. Evident since 1935, were the annual spring pic- nics at Morton Park Pool or Riverview Beach, which terminated in 1957. I Class assemblies have always been a delight to both l performers and audiences. Originally a senior fare- well tribute to their schoolmates. they are now an annual project for each class. Township teachers play an active part in school functions. Proceeds of faculty-senior basketball games go toward a scholarship fund. To supplement this fund the first faculty play was presented in 1951. E Since 1954 plays have given way to musical shows.

March 20, 1959, finally arrived and at 8:15 the Champagne Ladies took their places, the curtain rose, and the show was on. As the senior personalities took their cues and went through their paces, old Broadway was revived. The Junior High School auditorium was Hlled to standing room only with an enthu- siastic audience that received a flavor of all facets of the entertainment world from dixie swing to rock 'n roll, smooth melody to hilarious clamoring, and from slap stick comedy to dramatic interpretations. Featur- ing thc evening was a one-act comedy, Box VVe're a couple of swells, screeehes from the throats of Geraldine lletzel and Sandra Grayson as they decide how they shall mo- tivate to the Vanderhilts for tea.

Replacing the three-act play usually pre- sented hy the senior class, PASS IN RE- VIEWH' was produced with special permis- sion since the class had shown such spec- tacular talent and ahility in the presenta- tions of their animal assemblies. Actually, a variety show is not really a new idea at Ridley Township. In the schools early years a show was generally staged hy class mem- hers the night of the Class Banquet, but was later eliminated. XVith the fall of the final curtain, gradu- ation seelned to he ever nearer, and the Class of '59 possessed another memory to cherish of its exciting years at Ridley High. After discovering they have been living in the same room, one hy day and one hy night, Mr. Cox Cllarry Dnnnl and Mr. Box iXVilliam Davisj call Mrs. Bouncer iliarhara Dalsonj, their land- lady, for an explanation.

Combine a garbage chemist husband, a mental telepathist son, another millionairess- chasing son, add the problem of moving into a new house, mix well with fine directing and you have the hilarious junior play, Everything Happens To Usu, presented on February 7, 1959, in the junior High Audi- torium, thrilled the capacity crowd. Prcdicaments of the Ross family seemed to increase in an amusing way as the plot unfolded. Mrs. Ross was determined to move into'their new house before her eldest son, Rhett, brought home his new wife. Her other sons, Junior and Ronald, and their girl friends made the painting and decorating no easier as they constantly shifted from con- centration to clowning. Other interruptions by a well-wishing friend, the repairman, a lazy handyman, and the neighborhood busy- body contributed to the confusion.

Lovely Pat Armstrong was crowned Queen of the Prom hy the class president, Don Sellers. After a delightful evening of dancing, a hearty breakfast was served in the Carden Terrace Room of the hotel.

After lunch at Carvel Hall in Annapolis, the Class of i59 traveled on to the U. S. Capital. Arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel in Washington, their home for the next three days, the ,59ers wgere full of enthu- siam. Evening gaieties were enjoyed at the Casino Royal.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Pausing to review the year of work required to publish this twenty- fifth anniversary edition of the Archive, we realize the many individuals responsible for its success. At this time we want to express our grati- tude to all who have helped in so many ways to make this volume possible. We say thanks To: the STAFF for the many devoted hours of work. To: JOHN KA'rz for his artwork and the drawing of the school which appears on pages 4 and 5. To: MARIO MESSAMINI of Rembrandt Studios for his untold patience in satisfying our every whim. To: RAY OSMAN of the Iohn Spencer Co., for his expert advice and assistance. And finally, to the many ALUMN1 who so willingly lent us their cherished photographs allowing us an enormous selection from which to choose photos for our historical section. In appreciation to all, ANN MOSS Editor-in-chief BEVERLY TROSLEY Assistant editor 7' MISS CATHERINE ENI -gint, Adviser 6' , S ir' 251:-I Twenty-five years of growth and development foresees o bright future for R. T. H. . Throughout our book we have not only looked at the events of the past year, but have also taken a historical look at education in Ridley Township. NVhat of education another Hfty or seventy-five years from now? XVill the classrooms be air conditioned and lighted or heated with solar or atomic energy? Will we he educated through closed circuit television and class lectures put on tape for study in soundproof booths? Perhaps some education will even be given by tlioiight-induction while we are sleeping. The cafeteria may be replaced by a lunch upillv to be taken between the fifth and sixth periods. The gym to keep our bodies fit may be supplemented by a mental health program to keep our minds in tip- top condition. Probably more and more education will bc required to prepare us for the more and more complex work that society will demand and high school may be extended until the students are 20, with technical training until they are 30. There may be an ever-increasing emphasis on social adjustments and activities. Tests? Perhaps we will merely Hip switches to indicate our-answers, drop our sheets into another machine and find out our marks and the correct answers immediately. Who can foresee the possibilities? And yet again, students may be walking these very halls or ones very similar. But no matter what the future brings, we are sure that those high school students will feel with us - as through the pages of the Archive we look for a last time at the years of fun, tears, triumphs, and joys we have experienced - that our high school days are over, and life itself has just begun. Anxiously awaiting the completion of the new auditorium, seniors sadly realize that they will have no chance to enjoy the merits of the finished product. l 4 .
