May he be running, coatless, from the new building to the old, frantically trying to give time to each and every person who clamors for his attention, our dark-haired administrator always appears when needed. On ski and history Weekends the executive disappears. ,Jokesand pranks now become the order of the day, mischief and merrymaking the rule of all. He enjoys tremendously every trick played, whether it be played on him or others. To this man the Senior Class and all students are truly indebted. He has corrected and inspired us as the need arises. With the understanding of a father and the stern discipline of an instructor he has shown us life, while teaching us to face it. For tlrese reasons, we, the Senior Class of 1959, dedicate our yearbook to hir. Arthur Meyer.

CH EN EY STUDENT COUNCIL 4 VOLLEYBALL 3, 4- President LATEST 3, 4 TRACK 3 BOYS DISCUSSION CLUB 3 SOCCER 4 Charley came to Park in the middle of his Junior year from Taft Preparatory School and was elected president of the Student Council at Park. He did an excellent job as president, promoting a more cen- tralized and active government. As president, Charley has looked over the top of his glasses, sized up any school situation, and set to work to get Council action to rem- edy or improve it. This year, he has made great strides towards ful- filling the aim of bringing the Council and Student Body into greater unity and a working understanding. If one sees a small, attentive group in Streeter, you can be sure that Charley is standing in the middle, flailing his arms and recount- ing his tales of Taft Days , his recent scrape with Mr. Chapin, how he stayed up all night working on his thesis, or how he out-foxed a teacher in one of his classes. Charley can be seen in a class or puffing on his pipe in Streeter with a quiet, skeptical look in his eye. At other times people are startled at the exuberance of this sedate soul as he throws open a door with a loud, Hey gang!

In this field, her choice ranges from Bach to Louisiana jazz. Even here she does more than just listen and appreciateg she actually plays both the violin and piano with consummate skill. Bursts of laughter and badly restrained giggles emanate from her corner of the room, at almost any time. Whispered conversations and mysterious glances are always the order of the day. Her head in the clouds, her fingers writing her observations, her mien both light and serious . . . this is Joan.

Whether in Streeter, in classes, or just in being sociable, Sammy has made a deep and lasting impression on the people he has met. Always willing to explain the customs and habits of his native country, Indonesia, Sammy responds warmly to the many who ap- proach him. His outgoing personality and his eagerness to learn, as Well as to inform, have made him an integral part of Park School and its life. Supplementing the education he received in Indonesia, Sammy took courses ranging from Biology to American History. In these as well as in other areas, he participated to the utmost of his ability.

Academically, Nance is also well versed. She has applied herself wholeheartedly into any subject that might confront her and con quered it with exceptional drive. Towards the end of her Junior year, she had the honor of being elected President of the Girl's Discussion Club and of participating on various school committees.

In Steve's eleven years at Park, he has proven that he is eager to undertake any task and see it through. For this, his classmates elected him as the president of the Senior Class. In school, Steve is a hard and determined worker. He strives hard to uphold his ideals. People who think that Steve is a quiet bump on a log are mistaken. True, he is diffident but, when the appropriate time arises, Steve is an asset to any gathering. By cracking a well worded joke, he often provides the spark needed to liven up a Monday morning. Steve's big talent is his ability in athletics. He has been a big asset in every sport throughout his career at Park. Many times, he, alone, has pulled a game out of the fire. This year he was the br foot on the soccer team's defense. He is an all star on anyoneis basketball team and is a track star as well.

She is still the fun-loving, yet serious, girl who left Park as a sophomore. Mary's personality is that of a true class-mate and close friend rolled into one. She has the special knack of being everyone's friend and at the same time being frank and honest with each. It is not hard to see why she is one of the best-thought-of-girls in the Senior Class. Sports are Mary's special baby and she excels in many of them. Hockey, basketball, track or tennis are but a few of the sports which captivate Mary's heart and spirit. ' Mare doesnit limit herself to sports alone, but was on the SparkLiterary Board in her Senior year and the cheerleading squad in her Sophomore year.

Her work on the Latest, the Athletic Committee, the further re- storation of Streeter, and, of course, the Pep Squad are all to be highly commendable. Terrifying on the soccer field, lightening in any horse race, inter- ested in any kind of art, spirited enthusiasm at games, and a deep love of people, make Phyllis an added spark to Park and its ideals.

He can be seen almost anywhere laughing hysterically, waiting with baited breath for the days when academic assignments are handed out, or pursuing a new girl friend. He is a lover of parties, his witty remarks and congeniality leave everyone in a good humor. Peter has proved himself scholastically as well as socially. During workshop he is usually in a secluded corner of the Chemistry-Physics laboratory exhibiting an interest in automotives. This interest is dis- played by endless descriptions of his Singer, and his decided talent is shown by his Senior thesis on the building of a remote control car.

Where would last year's Production have been without Pat, its manager? Where would the cheerleading squad be Without Pat yelling and shouting enthusiastically in its ranks? Her long-suffering patience has often been tried by tl1e heckling she gets for speaking with her twangy Philadelphia accent. But Pat is up to all occasions, and she may respond by refusing to speak in anything but Siamese, the language she learned during her two year stay in Siam. On the other hand, she is just as apt to go into her fa- mous rendition of Marilyn Monroe, speaking in a breathless, south- ern drawl. Pat is the epitome of a fun loving, hard Working person, a person who knows when it is appropriate to be gay, and when to be serious. This is a real problem with which I shall have to wrestle, for of such stuf is diplomacy made. I2 MIRIAM H.

She does not stop at the minimum, for no job is too great for her to tackle and in her persistent manner, she accomplishes what others fear to attempt. In her four years at Park, Miriam has become known as a leader as well as a follower. Both these qualities are needed in a successful person, and Miriam possesses them in just the right proportions. Fun and gaeity are not unknown to her, for in Streeter or at par- ties, Mimi can be seen in the midst of any group either laughing at or telling a joke.

In school government, for the first time in many years, he has made the Study Hall Committee a functional and effective group. This committee, under his leadership, was able to uphold the principles by which the study halls are run. Not only in this area, but also in the field of music, Jerry has com- mand of the situation. His Senior thesis, on Jazz, was considered to be of such excellent quality, that it is being published for various mu- sician's groups around the city. His deep interest in the subject led him to create the Jazz Discussion Club, of which he is President and Coordinator.

VVl1ether working on the Spark Literary Board or deeply engrossed in homework, Dee-dee has proven to be a mature and individualistic personality. Not only in academic fields, but in athletics too, she may be found putting her heart and soul into anything she does.

In the midst of an intellectual seminar, silent chuckles and muffled giggles can be heard . . . as a classmate makes a fool of himself. A shivering mob huddles over a single heater in Streeter attempting to converse . . . While only the chatter of teeth can be distinguished. , We, the Senior Class-the grubby little realistsf' in a perpetual state of organized confusion-have probed into every possible phase of Park School life, learning from our mistakes and benefiting from our learning. We have lived Park School and loved it. Nothing could be more invigorating than a healthy walk to Streeter in the Fall, and nothing more freezing in the Winter. Nothing could be more exciting than the first day of Spring, and nothing more dreaded than the thought of approaching inals. Nothing could be more frightening than the idea of forgotten lines in the Pro- duction, and nothing could give us a greater feeling of fierce pride and accomplishment than the last chorus. We now swing on our heels, determined to face What- ever the future has in store for us, preparing to conquer our greatest experience-an experience we could not meet with confidence Without Park-Life. 3542 2 gf- 37 K, X El.. ggx 'ECL M .TWRQ5 'CML 5.6.

The Junior Class may be described as a bomb. For Weeks We go along calm, cool, and collected, but all of a sudden an explosion of enthusiasm occurs. When we explode, we can be found expressing our ideas in Coun- cil meetings, getting chemicals mixed up in Chemistry lab, enthusiastically raising money and having a great time for ourselves. During this year, as in past years, remarkably enough, we have found time for homework between our num- erous class parties. Our class is gay and sincere, relaxed and energetic, individualistic and yet a unit. 32 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS -1-' 342' Y Y f ET! l I 'T First row: Kay Yager, Libby Walker, Ann Campbell, Faith Neuschel, Martha Treble, Bobbie Brizdle, Dianne Crosby, Barbe Ernst, Margie Walls, Phyllis King.

The Sophomore Class is the largest class in the Park School history, and this has resulted in a great variety of talents, interests, ideas, and characters. Being chosen as the first class to participate in a Sophomore Seminar at Park, We have let our heads swell a bit. However, we do have occasional surges of maturity. Because We ourselves felt our lack of cohesion, we have striven hard for greater class unity throughout the year. Every student realizes that more benefit can be obtained from a class meeting which is organized and has the attention and interest of every member, so a sincere eHort has been made by each individual to make our class meetings more successful. A fresh discussion group which meets weekly to discuss class problems or just for the purpose of getting together and expressing our ideas on various issues, has helped towards better understanding among us. The Sophomore Boy's Dis- cussion Club has also served to enhance class unity. We hope that our potential good qualities will become active in the future in building a great class. Where there's life, there's hope -and We certainly are lively!!

Standing: Charlie Cheney, presidentg Mr. Meyer, Burt Saft, Bryan Meadows, Ted Burns. The Student Council, this past year, under the leadership of President Charles Cheney, strove to fulfill the position and the policy of the Student Council. Under this, a new Study Hall system was put into effect: one study hall in library for reading and studying, one in the Tomb for quiet conversing or discussing, and a third one supervised by the faculty. The Council, in returning to school in the fall, con- stituted its new policy in connection with the other government committees and the rest of the school. The - Council slipi' was abolished as it seemed no longer to have vital significance. Instead, the government com- mittees, sent habitual offenders to the Council to be tried. Offenders were dealt with by punishments recom- mended by the council to Mr. Chapin. An important institution of the Council was its monthly correspondence with our War orphan in Korea. This was one way in which the school Was made more unified and, despite a few minor changes, the School Council carried on Parkis tradition of student govern- ment. 50 DINING Room Fe.

This has made the Dining Room a pleasanter place in which to eat. It is felt that the committee next year will do as fine a job as their predecessors, if not a better one. 3 Under the leadership of Cathy Selkirk and with Mrs. Trager as faculty advisor, the Foreign Student Com- mittee accomplished its task of raising the needed funds to bring a foreign student to Park through the Ameri- can Field Service. Candy sales, a cookbook sale, a Car- rot Day, and an informal dance, were only a few Ways in which the committee raised money. The complete success of the Foreign Student Committee's function is attributed to the cooperation and interest of the entire Park School student body.

COMMITTEE The Production Committee is responsible for the presentation of the Monday and Thursday morning assemblies. The committee tries to arrange a very active and interesting agenda. In addition to the Faculty read- ings, we have had educational programs ranging from language instruction in Indonesian to Jazz concerts. All special assemblies, such as the Thanksgiving Pro- gram and the Class Day Program, are under its super- vision. The Production Committee is also the steering body and executive board for the Spring Production. The participation and enthusiastic interest of a large number of students in these programs has increased the unification of the Student Body. PRODUCTION sie ' I 2 STUDY HALL COMMITTEE First row: Andy McGennis, Pat Cale, Jere Carroll, chairman. Second row: Bill Johnston, Pete Barnes, Dianne Crosby, Mir. Carr, Ron Levy, Curt Siegel. Even though our study halls are under the student government, they are from time to time disturbed by acts of eating, loud talking and congregating in the li- brary during recess. We have found in-past years, that curbing these acts is quite a large task. With the Study Hall Committee under Jere Carroll, we have cooperated with the Council in sharing the responsibility of gov- erning the study halls with a new system. In this new system, the Upper Schoolers are given a partial honor system. Each study hall is run by a stu- dent proctor with the authority to turn in to the Council thoughtless offenders, giving the Council the right to try and hear. Although this is a new procedure, we have found that it is another step toward our goal of a complete honor system. . , Y -1. First row: Mr. Doblin, Bonnie McDougal, chairman.

Under the leadership of Bernie Mandelkern, the Community Chest Committee was successful in its drive to raise.funds for charity. Having appealed to the school assembly at the beginning of the year, the student body responded to the Committee's pleas through individual donations, class dances, Country Fair, and the Spring Production. In this manner, We were able to meet our quota with great enthusiasm and drive. l The task that the production Sub-Committee faces is to read and study many different scripts of plays and then decide which ones have the best possibilities for the Upper School to present as its Spring Production. This year, under the able leadership of Ellen Levy, the Sub Production Committee was very successful in its efforts and also ably lead the other committees formed to proudly present Oscar and Hammerstein's Carou- self' PRODUCTION SUB-COMMITTEE First row: Jane Trager, Paul Jacobowitz, Nancy Cowan.

The Arts Discussion Club started OH the year with a new advisor, Charlie Mussen, and with a new name, The Arts Discussion Club, on the notion that we could in- vestigate many arts. Under Margie Walls, we investi- gated many fields of art: photography, glass blowing, jewelry, music, literature, and painting, 'to mention a few. Meeting every other Thursday evening, the club proved interesting and enjoyableto its many members.

This year under the able leadership of Nancy Caru- ana, the Girls, Discussion Club has been a beneficial and informative group. Discussions on school, social and national interests, were on the agenda for this yearis meetings. One especially informative meeting was given by the Seniors, who explained theses to the underclassmen and by doing so, hoped to prepare them for the task that lay before them. Hoping to gain better friendship between the Upper School girls the Girls' Discussion Club has had meetings throughout the year and hopes its aims and traditions will be carried on in years to come. ARTS DISCUSSION CLUB First row: Polly Alf, Bonnie McDougal, Molly Bleichfeld, Sue Ascher, Sue Lownie, Kitty Yager. Second row: Margie Walls, Harry LaForge, Lynn Gunzberg, Paula. Kahn, Chip Johnston, Reiner Shlitt. JUNIOR BOYS' DISCUSSION CLUB First row: Stu Shapiro, John McClain, Mike Dozo- retz, Ted Burns, president, George Morgan, Curt Siegel, Barry Epstein. Second row: John Esty, Roger Maunz, George Miner, Mike Sheedy, Russ Hutton, Marty Kranitz, Larry Burns, Mike Steffan, Torrey Rogerson. The boys in the Junior Class formed their own Boys' Discussion Club. With Ted Burns as president and Mike Dozoretz as vice president-secretary, the group was formed in September, calling on the services of Mr. Barnes as faculty advisor. Meetings were held on the third Thursday of every month. Included in the various discussions were the following: colleges, the gubernatorial race, and the spirit and prob- lems at Park. Participation by every Junior boy, helped to make these meetings beneficial for all. The Sophomore Boys' Discussion Club was formed early in November. As the year progressed, the boys became more en- thusiastic and there were many worthwhile discussions. At one of these meetings the topic of class meeting pro- cedure was thoroughly delved into, and many fine ideas were brought out. During another meeting, Charlie Musson, our faculty advisor, gave a talk on Jazz. The feeling is that this discussion group has united the Sophomore boys and it is hoped that the club will continue throughout our high school years.

Second row: John Kirk, Rick Stephens, Harvey Moss, Rick Farber, Bill Kimber, Paul Jacobowitz, Mike Alpern, Toby Klyn, Bill Staniland, Lloyd Fingeret, Lester Saft. The Cheerleading Squad this year had its usual number of peppy cheerleaders, plus a new installment, that of a permanent alternate squad. At various games the alternates would take turns cheerleading and thus gain experience that might aid them in making the squad at the next voting. Under Nancy Caruana as Captain, cheerleading was Very successful this year and the new policy of using alternates proved very helpful when situations arose that called for extra cheerleaders. Many new cheers have been introduced and countless improvements have been made over the year. If this continues in the future the cheerleaders will surely be a group of which Park School can be proud. CHEERLEADING 'si uw E ATHLETIC COMMITTEE First row: Barry Epstein, Phyllis Lango, Susie Bin- ford, Grier Livingston, Curt Siegel. Second row: Mr. Mols, Pete Barnes, Bobbie Brizdle, Larry Burns, chairmang Dianne Crosby, Don Roberts. This year, the old Athletic Committee added a new department, inter-school relations, and gave itself a new name, the Inter-school Relations and Athletic Commit- tee. Under the chairmanship of Larry Burns, this com- mittee endeavored to strengthen such old institutions as the Athletic Training Code and Iiitra-murals while opening new areas in inter-school relations. One of these new areas was a continuation of an old tradition, the Park-Harley Weekend, in a larger and improved scale. The student body has felt the tremendous effect of this committee and its Work.
