Its voyage has been long and strenuous, but its been fun and has give us an inestimable amount of experience. To the seniors, this Echo represents the 1 ' t' n of all our achievements at Rye. We have endeavored to make it a more cu mina io composite picture of school life by employing a theme, the Navy. ted to become as nautical as Everyone who contributed to the yearbook was reques possible. The following is a copy of a letter written by Mr. Snyder, who finally decided ' H dmaster rather than the that his salutation to the school would come from the ea Admiral.

There is something every day to bring a smile to a headmaster's face. The total of light moments and deep satisfactions is what keeps him going. He follows with pleasure the daily stream of school activities, from the gay skipping of younger children in the hall to the serious speaking of older students in chapel. He ,observes and is pleased by the constant proofs that bodies grow, that minds awake, that personalities blossom, that characters strengthen. Week by week, month by month, year by year he sees each of you developing into an agreeable and worthy person whom it is fun to know. Therefore the smile which the photographer caught! ,.. 6 215541236 aww! First Level, Port to Starboard: Mrs. Matrhaei, Mr. Snyder, Mrs. Bitz. Second Level: Mr. Warren, Mr. Hall.

Her blue eyes are always shining, and her hair is brushed down pat. She can be found pre- siding over class-meetings with poise and self possession. Sally manages her responsi- 1 . b1l1t1es in school with leadership and trust- l ll' worthiness also demonstrating good sports- t manship on the athletic field. Not limited to an active life at R.C.D.S. alone, our pres- ident has traveled the country-side, taking . in many colleges Cmen's, of course? on her way In the future, whether we find Sal strumming her guitar, or attending Welles- ley or Smith, she's sure to look like a doll l stepping out of a band-box.

Senior, the magic word which entitles its bearer to many privileges and the respect of lower classmen, is about to be passed on to a new group of girls. In the following pages the Class of 1952 makes its last ofhcial appearance before going out into the world on its own. But though they may be dispersed in many sections of the country and in various fields of study, this versatile group of girls will always be remembered for their variety of achievements, and they, in turn, will remember with gratitude and pleasure their many enlightening and enjoyable experiences at Rye Country Day. In looking back over the years we recall several carefree Lower School students, who were very much intrigued by games with spears and jacks. Upon entering the Upper School these students of long standing were joined by new comrades and dis- covered that there were other things in addition to birthday parties and dancing school. Some were elected to the Student Council, others excelled in sports twinning the class cup twicej, while still others turned their talents toward enlarging the school news- paper and introducing solid geometry and reviving chemistry. Besides disproving the theory that the Christmas dance could not be held in the gym, and presenting a French play with strictly American accents, these girls instituted such memorable innovations as chocolate cakes at milk period, cars with personalities Ceveryone knows Henryj, and a school mascot, B.Gf' Last seen revelling in their lunch-line cuts, free study halls, and permissions to leave school early, the Class of '52 will never forget the warmth, spirit, and friendliness of their Alma Mater, Rye Country Day School. Here they are, recorded so that you too may remember them.

Dunc has even made use of this hobby in school life, for in her junior year she was in charge of the afghans which were made as a welfare project. Her Scotch heritage is something of which this girl is proudg she can often be heard defending this inheritance in her pleasant fashion. Recognized by her placid temperament and co-operative spirit, B.A. can be counted upon in any emergency. She can even be called upon for a ride in that black Buick in which she putt-putts up to school every morning! What the distant picture holds in store for Betty Ann is yet unknowng however it is possible that she may be gracing the campus of Wheaton college in the immediate future.

Besides possessing a great deal of intelligence and an organized, methodical mind, Nancy has proved her skill in com- position and management through her suc- cess as Editor of the Oak Leaves and Liter- ary Editor of the Echo , Far from being a one-sided person, this senior has a reputa- tion for exhibiting a great deal of charm and tact, she also has claim to the neatest hair in the class! Her friendly personality and pleasant disposition make her a girl worth knowing and have won her an un- disputed seat at every Yale football game. As the General leaves R.C.D.S. to study Home Economics at Connecticut College, we recall with pleasure her many accom- plishments, feeling positive that, as proved by her two letters in archery, she will con- tinue to hit the bull's-eye in everything she does. Somew 26:44 5 Forest Court, Larchmont Our Susie is one of those girls who can never keep still a minute. We may find her experimenting with a new recipe or keeping a watchful eye on her younger sister, these are only a few ways in which she manages to use up excess energy, bouncing around as she does. Sue always has a linger in the pie or a hand waving in the air, signifying that she has a question to ask or a comment to make. She gave vent to some of her extra drive at hockey camp last year. One result of this practice was that Sue was on the Stuyvesant hockey team in the fall. That she was Business Manager of the Rye Crop in her junior year and Business Man- ager of the Echo this year indicate that she might be mathematically inclined! Famous for her tomato cake and her ready smile, Sue fshe prefers this to Susanj will be remembered as a friendly, sincere, energetic girl. 3425444 gfemzdngzfz Blind Brook Lodge, Rye Our Barb is the girl with the turned-up nose, the enthusiastic laugh, and the natural propensity toward athletics. There is hardly anything in the line of sports which she is not capable of doing - and doing well. Her latest position in this field was Head of Hockey in the fall term. It was at that time that Henny was often seen trying vainly to quiet study hall in order to make one of her announcements concerning the day's athletic program. Muff, another of her nicknames, is fond of popular music and was a soloist in the choir this year. She is the girl who always seems to be surrounded by friends, whether it is on a jaunt down to Rips for a soda, or on a Friday evening movie excursion. After Rye, Barb plans to further her career in physical education at Bouve or Smith College. 71403664 77Z4fzde Qfafweq Drake Smith Lane Rye Frances is the senior with the spontan eous laugh and happy-go-lucky attitude. She can always be counted upon to come up with a joke to keep the class in good spirits Friendliness seems to bubble forth from her carefree nature. Fran is also the girl who IS seen running down the hockey field as fast as her long legs can carry her. She's just as much at home during the basketball or lacrosse seasons, too. This year she was elected Head of Basketball and did a fine job both as a leader and as an active mem- ber of the team. In the summer Frances turns to tennis, one look at her shelf full of trophies is enough to prove that she is truly an all-around athlete. Following in her sister's footsteps, Fran intends to spend her next four years at Connecticut College for Women, where she willwtfurther her interest in merchandising. Q QXK I 2 ' 1 . I 5 Q 3 f.

Another reason why Jo is envied by her class-mates is that she was .fortunate enough to actually win a car! Every morning you can see her steaming along in a very sporty black and yellow Chevrolet with her initials on the doorg of course she has to chauffeur the whole taxi group along with her! Last year's Associate Editor of the Crop , jo plans to continue her studies at college and then perhaps to go into business, unless some lucky fellow grabs her before then! Wcmaq 776 Wdwdfld Park Drive South, Rye Nancy is a girl with bright blue eyes and wavy brown hair. Petite and peppy, fun to be with, she always seems to enjoy what she's doing. Well known for her unmis- takable laugh, Nance,' is essentially pleas- ant and soft spoken. Last year's vice-presi- dent of the class, Nancy was chosen Blue captain in her senior year. Her athletic skill also enabled her to make the Stuyvesant hockey team. Leading the Blues, she has at all times spurred on her team-mates, rejoic- ing in their victories and rendering en- couragement at the time of their losses. She seems to like shouting support almost as well as participating in sport events. No matter where Nancy spends the next four years of her life -- Wellesley, Smith, or what-have-you - she will have no difficulty in Ending people to enjoy her company as we at Rye have. . Zamzie em .4'eaa6tt 406 Boston Post Road, Port Chester If Bonnie is absent one day, the class surely misses her, because she is a very lively and energetic addition to the Seniors of '52. Always in the center of things, Bonnie can be found laughing, talking, or knitting. As Manager of the Cheerleaders this year, Bon has been an ambitious worker, devoting her- self enthusiastically to the position. She's known for her huge appetite and her small waistline. She's also renowned for the nu- merous tales she relates about the equally numerous members of her family. Perhaps taking care of her many brothers and sisters has helped give Bonnie her warm heartg she is concerned about the welfare of animals Qincluding her cat, Minnieb as well as the welfare of people. It is this wish to help others, that is leading Bonnie toward a nursing career. In the future we shall point with pride to Nurse Leavitt! ss S.ssSvln.SX'skSx'.v1v111rf.av11.4-.r If I fame Dcvzatdq Image 60 Carleon Avenue Larchmont As editor of the yearbook this year June has again demonstrated the qualities of lead ership which are so much a part of her character Possessing an alert analytical mind she has shown her writing ability by the many scintillating articles she turned out while on the Crop board and also proved her executive ability as last years school treasurer A cheerful enthusiastic ly june is fun to be with and interesting to talk to Her skill as a speaker was well es tablrshed by the effective and witty speeches which she made during political campaigns and debates June is now considering your nalism as a career and since she is willing to work hard always taking things in stride she will assuredly succeed at Wellesley and in later life ills If 111711174111 47 1711 iff QQQQs'iS'S1'i.'Si'Q'iQ SSSSSLS 7 n ' , . 7 5 5 - , . . person, whose manner is natural and friend- , 1 . , - a f 7 .

Some V 3 5 7 A . Dana .fauna 105 Rockland Avenue, Larchmont Dona lives up to the old adage that you should be quick in making acquaintances but not hasty in making friendships. Al- though she seems quiet and reserved, one soon discovers that this girl is really amiable and gracious. We're all glad that Dona was the vice-president of the class this year, for she managed her duties with responsibility and efficiency. Although Dona is often teased because of her Friday afternoon ballet classes, she wins much praise when she dis- plays her dancing skill. These same fancy steps are demonstrated on the hockey field when she wows them as a goalie! KAfter graduation Dona intends to enter a junior collegeg she has not decided whether she will follow up her dancing or take a child study course. As a final word, we can only say, Stay as sweet as you are ! Vneaa M4566 Eealfq 1 Beechtree Drive, Larchmont Marie's warm smile and friendly coun- tenance are a familiar sight to the many students who know and admire her as the Co-President of the school. Following Ree's illustrious career through her years at Rye, we note that she has often been President of her class, that she was once Editor of the Crop , and that she has done a line job in basketball and hockey. Well de- serving of these honors, Marie is the kind of person whose integrity and dependability can be fully relied upon. Never known to speak harshly or criticize others, this girl goes out of her way to be gracious to those around her. She seems to derive real pleasure from taking part in school projects, consent- ing gladly to give of her time and efforts whenever she is called upon. Labeling Marie as a girl with plenty of personality and abil- ity, we are sure that as she goes on to Smith or Stanford, she will always be on top. panda Wlazgm Pefahne Sunset Lane Rye One of Po1ly's favorite expressions great , is often applied to her by enthu siastic classmates, for she is truly a girl of many talents and many sides. Hardly a sport can be mentioned in which she does not excel. In recognition of her atheltic abil- ity, Pol' was chosen Gold captain and was a member of the Stuyvesant hockey team. Always going somewhere or doing some- thing, enjoying every minute of the day, Perk can often-be seen in the middle of a group, laughing and having fun. A recog- nized leader and an accomplished organizer, this girl can be counted upon for good man- agement and co-operation in any situation. Polly will always be remembered as possess- ing a lively personality, and having aspira- tions for Vassar college. x'xX'5'xs1m'nn XS ysxss I 5.

All these names may be confusing, but you can easily spot Maru by her crop of dark, short, curly hair which she belittles and we envy! Although she doesn't make too much noise about it, Marnie was an outstanding goalie on the varsity hockey squad - one who always came through in a pinch. An- other of her positions is that of Co-Photog- raphy Editor of the yearbook. In spite of the fact that she is basically reserved Marn', once aroused, will stand up for what she believes, always stating her true opinions emphatically. lt is for this reason that her arguments are respected by her class-mates. Marnie's heart is set on Wel lesley and the chances are that she will attain her goal. 14m Zadingez Seville Avenue, Rye Often considered the most industrious and diligent senior, Ann seems to have a special attachment to the library, the room in which she often studies and in which she spent several periods a week last year, re- pairing and helping to put away books. Annie never lets a minute escape her, for she plans out her work to make use of all her free time in school and at home. Even during the summer she kept busy, learning to type and taking care of little children. She also manages to enjoy her vacations to the fullest, after Christmas she was the cen- ter of much attention with her glorious sun-tan and interesting stories of Palm Beach. Because she cloesn't have an ill-tempered bone in her body, Ruby can only laugh when she is teased about being unathletic, taking it in her stride, as she does all things.

And so there is from kindergarten to grade twelve a combination of slow growth and sudden realization of achievement. From the child in grade two who calls happily, See meg see what I can do , to the senior student leaders, planning and organizing for their teams, the growth is slow and steady. Gradually physical skill, habits of health, and attitudes of mind are developed. We of the department try to foster this growth by a carefully planned progression of varied and enjoyable activities from the free play of the primary grades to the highly organized activities of the Upper School. Success in the program means that the students leave us with a well-poised co-ordi- nated body, a variety of physical skills, both team and individual, and an enthusiasm for physical activity that will make leisure time in their adult years both healthful and enjoyable. 4 Wacdeq Squad First Level: Barbara Henninger.

To consider and to discuss the problems of the student body, a council is elected, headed by co-presidents from the Boys, and Girls' Upper Schools. A secretary, a treas- urer, a welfare chairman, and a representative from each of the classes in the school make up the remainder of the Council. The purpose of the organization is to acquaint those in the school with the man- agement and principles of government and to give them a sense of responsibility and an interest in the operation of their school. There are three separate councils within the large council: the Girls' Upper School Council, the Boys' Upper School Council, and the Lower School Council. Each of these functions for the Welfare and in the interest of the part of the school which it represents. The Girls' Upper School Council has, during this year, revised their by-laws, spon- sored a seventh and eighth grade Hallowe'en party, a Christmas dance, exchange dances with near-by boys' schools, and the Father-Daughter Dinner. The Boys' Upper School adopted a constitution which enlarged its council to ten members including the new posts of treasurer, secretary, and athletic chairman. A very important part of the Boys' Upper School government is the also newly founded Boys' Court. Although we believe that without the court the government would not be lost, we feel that it serves as a way for the individual to defend himself in a dignified man- ner and at the same time learn something about the functions of the democracy by which we live. The purpose of this new system is to bring the responsibility of student government right down to the last individual instead of restricting it to students with council authority. Thus, the council is a consolidation of three subordinate councils, each concerned with its own individual problems and all working together for the benefit of the entire student body and the school.

LUMB The Rye Crop , published at six regular intervals during the year, has been informing Rye Country Day for the past twenty-four years. It is edited by a staff of students in grades eight through eleven, who are chosen for their ability to write and their willingness to work. The exper- ience gained by these students who work on the staff is extremely valuable. They become acquainted with many different types of writing - humorous, factual, creative, and analytical, besides learning layout work and proof reading. A sense of responsibility is developed by the realization that they are working as a group with a com- mon deadline which must be met. To the students who are not on the board, the Crop is a review of past activities, and a preview of the events which are coming. The paper also includes reports on stu- dent government activities, sports, alumnae, and class acti- vities. There are comments and criticisms of various phases of school life, thus adding stimulating reading material to plain facts. The Rye Crop fulfills a two-fold purpose because it gives experience to its writers and presents a clear, in- teresting picture of our school life at Rye.

GANUN The Oak Leaves , formerly a yearly literary maga- zine, is now published four times a year. On the basis of literary merit, the board makes selections from stories and poems submitted by the students of the Upper and Lower Schools. In order to have a paper which is truly representa- tive of the whole school, this magazine includes con- tributions from all age groups, at the same time using the widest range of subjects possible. This year three prizes were given for the most worthy story or poem written in each section of the school. Devoted to encouraging the creative ability of stu- dents through recognition of success, the Oak Leaves has introduced a new and very successful art depart- ment, thereby enlarging the original purpose of the paper. On behalf of the entire board, I should like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers who have helped us this year, and especially, Mrs. GaNun, our advisor. 2455 754: WMM4 The Stolen Prmce , a Chinese fantasy in one act by Dan Totheroth, was the opening feature of the 1951-1952 dra- matic program. Students from both sec- tions of the sixth grade girls presented this interesting and imaginative play on Tuesday, October 50. Complete with an Orchestra, Chorus, Property Man, and authentic costumes, the Chinese Theatre came to life on the stage of Rye Country Day School. On Friday, December 21, the annual Christmas entertainment was given. This year, through pantomime, characteriza- tion, acting, reading, and choral work, the students produced a program of special merit. The title was Carols of the Na- tions . The reading of the Russian Leg- end, Babushka , by Sharon Greer and the acting of the title role by Jacqueline Elkon proved to be a particularly moving feature. The climax, Spirit of Christmas, Rye, 1951 , a tableau executed in modern dress, brought the series of carols to an eifective close.

First, there is the great value in studying music and facts about music, which leads to a deeper understanding of periods in other Arts and History. The other purpose is social. If approached in the right spirit, there is no other means available that can improve social relations and good citizenship better than group singing. Somebody once said that as long as you sing together you cannot hght each other. However, this pur- pose goes deeper than that. A group that sings together achieves a certain oneness, and the different people and voices are just like the pipes in an organ. We all know that the organ with all its hundreds of pipes is still one instrument. edema First Level, Port to Starboard: Sandra Wil- son, Lynn Wilson, Frances Harvey, Dona Lucas, Nancy Howard, Penelope Barnes, Mary Ann Goodman, Parke Perkins, Joel Winik, Debora Dammann.
