THE AMBLER JUNIOR COLLEGE CLASS OF 1960 PRESENTS. . TRANSI A dream became a reality when Jane Bowne Haines purchased the McAlonan Farm and founded the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture .for Women in 1910. This new institution was given the stamp of approval, by -the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania erfd opened its-doors to its threo .applicants.-Itv loVely one hundred' and fifty qcrelcampu£ jpg country setting was idedl Tor thp stady of horticulture, agriculture, and-landscape design. Shortly before the school's fi heth anniversary,' it underwent o% transition which lead to the expansion of thtf eurriculum ond accreditation.-This transition was a merger with Temple, University, whereby the name of the institution officially became Ambler Junior College. For the first time its enrollment included both men nd women, liberal arts were offered, dnd each of the three major programs now leads to an accredited Associate in Science Degree conferred by Temple University. TIONAL Dedication MILLARD E. GLADFELTER President The Transition which changed the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture into Ambler Junior College, a new division of Temple University, was a challenging and rewarding one. We therefore feel that the yearbook of the class of I960 should be dedicated to one who played a great part in our change as well as underwent a transition himself. Millard E. Gladfclter was inaugurated as Temple University's new president in November, 1959. His transition was preceded by his outstanding record as an educator. President Gladfeltcr has won the complete confidence and support of Ambler students in the short time we have been a part of the University. President Millard E. Gladfelter, we hope to show by our support ol the University our thanks to you. In appreciation of all you have done for us, we hereby dedicate the Transitional, the yearbook of the class of 1960, to you. Appreciation WILLIAM HALE We cannot leave Ambler without giving our appreciation to one who has helped us greatly in the past two years. Mr. Hale's cheerfulness and facility for taking all crises in his stride will always be remembered by us. Sunshine’s endless tasks are matched by his great enthusiasm. Never turning down our requests, he has continuously gone out of his way to help us in many frantic situations. Mr. Hale, our gratitude is best expressed by a simple, but hearty, thank you. 4 JONATHAN W. FRENCH, JR. Director To each and every one of you in class of 1960 go my warmest wishes for happiness, success, and the courage you will need to lace those certain disappointments that lie ahead. You are the first coeducational class at Ambler, the first to have been Temple University students throughout your two years, and the first to live and study with students majoring in the liberal arts. You have all weathered these changes with equanimity and good grace, and you have consistently demonstrated a maturity of which you can be proud. May you look back upon Ambler with appreciation and affection as the years go by; and may the Lord bless and keep you! A DM INISTR A TION MRS. REED S. FISHER Dean of Women Dear Friends: We shall miss you. As you go out into a larger world, with an enlarged sense of the wonder of life, may the gentle grace of the opening flower and the wondrous joy of an Ambler spring be ever with you. 5 FACULTY t AND staff First Row: Mrs. Jonathan French.

We. the students, are as seedlings who have come to Ambler Junior College to be nurtured by the food of life. Through knowledge, truth, and wisdom our roots grow and become well established. Mr. and Mrs. James Bush-Brown have greatly strengthened this foundation. The Bush-Browns have dedicated long years of unselfish service, encouragement, inspiration, and love of life to all who have come to this college. Their optimism and graciousness have instilled within us renewed faith and confidence in life. We feel deep gratitude for all the blessings that the Bush-Browns have bestowed upon this college, and our hearts are saddened because they are leaving us. But their profound endeavors for our higher education will remain and be remembered eternally. The doors of Ambler will always be open to the Bush-Browns. For all these things, and many more, we, the class of 1960, want to extend to them our heartfelt wishes for their continued success. 8 SOPHOMORES CAROLYN CECELIA BLANK FI ELD 8705 Ventnor Avenue Margate, New Jersey Horticulture “Charlie” . . .

The seedlings were watered, all snug in their beds, While visions of stampedes danced through our heads. And Carol in her ‘shorties’ and I in my flannels Had just settled down to study our annuals. When out on the terrace there arose such a clatter— We sprang from our beds to see what was the matter! We threw up the shades, and out fell the screen; For over the ledge we had wanted to lean! The moon on the crest of the dew covered grass Gave a lustre of midday to the whole slimy mass. Then what to our wondering eyes should appear— But an army of aphids with slugs at the rear! With a little old leader so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be a tick. The legions were closing from ever)’ direction; They thought they'd destroy our flower collection. But thinking much faster than the enemy runs. My roommates and I grabbed our Rotenone guns. We slid down the drainpipe and crept up from the rear. The invaders still thought they had nothing to fear! But surprise them we did, and after the clash. They all lay there dying, reduced to a mash. —Helen Pfaffinger 48 This book printed by VELVATONE, a special process of lithographic printing.
