an Eg THE OAK THE SENIOR RECORD OF THE UPPER DARBY, PA. HIGH SCHOOL 19 3 3 Editor Rhoda Weitzenfeld Business Manager Oliver North Dedication CLAYTON K. SHENK During the past three years, Mr. Shenk has spent most of his waking hours (not to speak of his dreams for our class) in laboring earnestly and tire' lessly on all of our projects. These last years have been hard ones for any advisor, but, through them all, Mr. Shenk has proven himself a guide most understanding and skillful. MARION S. SAYBOLT Combining the charm of the gracious lady with the camaraderie of one of us, Mrs. Saybolt has been able to min' gle with us and to spur us on to yet greater heights. We thank both her and Mr. Shenk for the unending work they have done on our account, and dedicate to them this issue of the Oak,. m (XU WILLIAM C. SAMPSON Superintendent It is due, in a large measure, to the efforts of Mr. Sampson, as a broad- minded, far-seeing educator, that Upper Darby's schools have become famous for their progressiveness. We are, therefore, privileged to have come into contact with him, and appreciate to the fullest extent his friendliness and concern for us all. JOHN H. TYSON Principal In a large school like ours, it is espe- cially hard for a principal to maintain personal relations with a class. This rare quality Mr. Tyson has achieved through the attention which he gives to all of our plans and activities, through his absorbing interest in all that pertains to the school, and through the fairness and impartiality of his decisions.

Senior Executive Committee THE executive committee consisted of two elected representatives from each home room, and the officers of the class were exefficio members. A class of over four hundred is far too unwieldly to transact the multiple things that befall them during a year. Hence the executive committee. A small group like this composed of class leaders can efficiently take care of all the perplexing problems that arise. If they are in doubt as to the will of the class a referendum may easily be taken. Probably the hardest task devolving upon the Committee was the decision about the Washington trip. They are to be commended for their fine work in this respect. j (14} ARMER EDWIN ABEL 47 S. Glenwood Avenue. Aldan Armer docs not live up to his name. One would regard him as invulnerable, unassailable if one judged by that first name, but no. The minute a cute bit of femininity assails him he collapses. Most of us don't blame him: we envy him and wish as many assaults were made upon our fortress. School—Monitor 2: Thrift Councillor 4. Club- History 4. Class—Assembly Committee 2. KATHRYN ANNA ADAMS 930 Serrill Avenue, Yeadon She is tall, stately and lords it over all of us from her regal height and. what's more. Kathryn can get “A's in Latin tests.

Of those who know her, “Albard sure that it was a glad day at U. D. when she arrived. ROBERT ADKINS ALLEN 8031 Merion Avenue, Upper Darby Dependable, fine and frank are the characteristics of which we think when Bob's name is mentioned.

Yeadon Rotund, plump Jimmy, nemesis of all the girls, chief disturber of the peace (or should it he pieces of Homeroom 126), has been a Thrift Councillor, a Upi-Dah Agent and a mmber of the T- Square Club in the course of a very checkered career. But to climax it all, he joined the Rifle Club and now plans to go West and hunt Indians. School—Thrift Councillor 3; Upi-Dah Agent 2. Clubs—Rifle 2, 3, 4: T-Square 4. EVELYN JULIE ANDRESON 13 Bonsall Avenue, Aldan We arc said to be one of the classes in a fast-moving age, but Evelyn, although she is keeping step with the rest of us, is never in too much of a hurry to lend a helping hand. If you need help, you always can depend on her. no matter what the trouble may be. Chibs—Library 3, 4; History 4. CHRIS. BOEHMER ANFINSEN, JR. 139 Hampden Road, Upper Darby Six foot two (not quite), eyes of blue, blond hair, a build that Charles Atlas would be proud of. and a delightful personality.

Mr. Dcngler would be lost if it weren't for Art’s mellow tone. He is also the president of the Choral Club. He served one year as the librarian of the club, and he can't get out of the habit of collecting music after night rehearsals. School—Monitor 2: S. A. M. E. Festival Chorus 3, 4: A” Chorus 3, 4.

ARTHUR JAY AURINGER MARTIN AUVE, JR. 3433 Albemarle Avenue, Drexel Hill An intramuralite of astounding fame and equally astounding lack of size for such accomplishments. What accomplishments? Why it's public history that Martin has for two years been on the championship intramural team of the school. Some day he hopes to have enough felt numbers to set up a printing shop.

Class president, football, track, Yeadon and points west. Still he speaks to us. He manages to get every place and see everything.

If we accept the formula that says, gentlemen prefer blondes, it's easy to see that Betty won't grace any office for long. There are no negative votes. School—Thrift Councillor 2.

Yes, Peg certainly does love to pick out the differences between right and wrong, good or bad. Anyhow, there's no one any fairer, or better natured than Peggy. We hope that certain inevitable someone appreciates her as much as we. School—Monitor 4; Acorn Agent 3. Class—Dance Committee 3: Play Committee 3. GLADYS IRENE BARD 8138 Arlington Avenue, Highland Park One school's loss is another school's gain. We feel that Gladys made no mistake in coming to U. D. from Havcrford, and we were glad to receive her. She is quiet, but identified by good deeds. School—S. A. M. E. Chorus 2, 3, 4; A Chorus 4. Club—Choral 3, 4. EFFIE MAE BARGER 1204 S. Longacre Boulevard, Yeadon Effie bears a faint likness to a hardy Pilgrimette of Hawthorne's creation because of the austerity with which she puts up her blond locks, and because of her quiet dignity. We like to chat with Effie because she always seems to be in an amiable mood. School—S. A. M. E. Festival Chorus 4. Clubs—Choral 4; Library 3, 4. [18] SOPHIA CATHERINE BARR 206 Ardmore Avenue, Highland Park Here's the little girl with a big comeback. “Soapy” lost a good part of the year because of sickness, but. to the surprise of all. she bounced right back and started to clear up all the loose ends. She played on the basketball team with plenty of pep and vigor, bespeaking the hidden reserve of energy packed in her deter mined little person. Sports—Reserve Team Basketball 3; Varsity Basketball 4. ANNA HELEN BARTON 314 Cedar Lane, Upper Darby If we all could be as dependable as Anna, there would be nothing to worry about. But the nice part is she docsn t boast about it. In fact, she says very little, but is liked for this very quality. It's so restful. THELMA IONE BAUMGARDNER 928 Duncan Avenue, Yeadon When gold medals are given out our “Bummie'' will receive one. She's as full of fun as her fingers are of speed, and a “big” addition to our class. We hope her own life will always be as happy as she has made ours. School—Typing Team 4. Club—Commerce 4. HORACE BURNS BEALL 47 S. Fairview Avenue, Highland Park Horace is Miss Noble's prize Latin student. She wishes he had taken Spanish and the Spanish teachers arc glad he didn't. One day a friend of Horace urged him to come out for cross-country. He came out the next day and showed them how to run. He says he thought it was great, but that they should run two miles further, so he could get a start. He got that way from pushing his Chevrolet home every night. School—Acorn Agent 2; Monitor 2.

RALPH VERNON BECK 65 Houston Road, Lansdowne Here's the boy that has a perpetual grin for everybody. Most of the time we don't know whether he's laughing at us or with us. Remember Gil Marshall of the senior play, that quiet, steady going person? We can't figure out just how Ralph Broods that chasm, but that's beside the point. Another thing about this Beck person is his enthusiasm and wisecracking. School—Monitor 4. Class—Class Play 4: Dance Committee 4; Senior Final Dance Committee. MARY ELIZABETH BECKER 3216 Marshall Road, Drexel Hill Betty is the “checker-upper for us and Mr. Wallick. She's always making us toe the mark.

That's Rose, with her cheerful smile and her willingness to do “that extra work for you at any time. She's also a basketball player of note. Somehow, we seem to imagine Rose as the perfect secretary in the office of Mr. B. I. G. Busi- ness, and will that smile bring a rush of . . offers . .! Well, isn't that big business?

WILLIAM BRUCE BIRCHALL 10 South Lynn Boulevard, Upper Darby Bill's noted for many things around school, his activity in Hi'Y work, his interest in sports, his disinterest in classes, and a host of other accomplishments too well known to enumerate. But he bases his claim to immortality upon his mouth. Into this mouth go the customary things like potatoes and chicken, but, like Joe E. Brown, he can do other things. School—Monitor 3.

Fair Dorothy of operetta fame, of scholastic accomplishments, and of renowned beauty aspires to a career of attorney-at-law.

ELEANOR BRADLEY 825 Concord Avenue, Drexel Hill Eleanor's light shines when she's at a bridge table.

You know the kind to whom you say “strawberry” and get lemon or peach. Well, the depression saved Morris. He lost his job and reformed. We can once more consider him as a member of polite society. EVELYN ROSLYN WALLACE 118 Wellington Road, Stonehurst Evelyn and her dimpled smile came to us from Overbrook.

[131] The Washington Wash-out ITH the weather man offering a 50-50 proposition on the elements as the best he could do, the Upper Darby contingent toured Washington on May 4 and 5. Balmy weather accompanied the first day's meanderings, but on Friday, Mr. Pluvius brought out his aged watering can and drizzled on the party. The train pulled out of Broad Street at exactly 8.55 A. M. on Thursday with no late risers left at the gate. By the time the train had reached city limits, the seniors had settled down to their chosen occupations, of which the most popular was sauntering up and down the aisles. Washington arrived at the train as per schedule, and the party adjourned to the Savarin restaurant, where they partook of their first meal in the capital. By the time they were safely ensconced in the buses, most of the pilgrims had canes. The Old and New Museums were the first stops on the day's program. The tourists gazed in awe at the Spirit of St. Louis and the actual clothing in which Colonel Lind- bergh made his epochal flight. At the United States Capitol, next in line, a guide ush- ered the party to the famous whispering chamber, which formerly housed the House of Representatives, where the acoustics are such that a person standing on a certain spot talking to himself can be heard clearly fifty feet away. And then—the Senate. A mild form of astonishment was the first reaction as the tourists saw about twenty rather tired-looking men where 96 energetic defenders of the people’s rights should have been. But Senators Long, Glass and Walsh were spotted and the Class of '33 had its first glimpse of celebrity. From the seat of the legislative branch of the government, the buses conveyed the expedition to the Franciscan Monastery, which was set in a beauti- ful sylvan atmosphere, surrounded by gardens and fountains. Exquisite carvings and paintings filled the church, while underneath was a reproduction of the catacombs of Rome. After the monastery, the bus drivers set out to earn their salaries. A sprightly tour of the city with stops at the National Episcopal Cathedral and Arlington Cemetery and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, ended at the Cairo, where the seniors set out to make their presence felt. Peaceable urbanites dwelling near the Cairo were heard to mutter at the top of their voices, “There's Upper Darby again, and if there were a recluse in the hotel he would have checked out after hearing those seniors check in. But to pro- ceed—the seniors tested out the bed springs—very gently of course—and deposited the contents of their grips in the bureau, slicked down the cowlicks, and descended for sup- per, where one embryo professor in the party began to gather his dishes together absent- mindedly, and to look for the table with the janitor behind it. But still there was no rest for the weary. The seniors were stampeded into the buses for a tour of the Con- k gressional Library, where it was taken for granted that 3,500,000 volumes are housed, for no one had the ardor to check up on the government statistician. Then back up the Nile went the buses to the Cairo, where those of the pilgrims so inclined danced in the lobby and dining room to the music of the cbony-hued Washingtonians. Those not so inclined took their leave of the hotel to return in a few minutes well loaded with victuals for the long hard night. It is here that this chronicle must become inadequate. What, if anything, occurred between the wee hours of 1 A. M. and 7 A. M. must be left to con- jecture, for the Oak's representative went into a conference with the god Morpheus and was totally oblivious to what may have occurred. Arising invigorated and refreshed the next morning (All “Oh, yeahs will kindly desist), the party left for a second comprehensive tour of the city. The National Acad- emy of Sciences was replete with machines that the visitors could operate, and which made peculiar looking lights and noises which no one knew anything about except the aged followers of Steinmetz. The Pan-American Building was next in line, and those expecting to see a collection of statues of George Bernard Shaw were sadly disappointed. (Think awhile. You may get it, and you may not.) What they did see was a beau- teous reproduction of an inner court of a South-American house of Spanish architecture. The processes at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving were very interesting—the employes handled the good old U. S. dollars like so many rags. And then the Wash- ington Monument. Ascent was made by elevator only. From the tower was a fine view of Washington, including the ruins of the Cairo. The works of the old masters at the Corcoran Art Gallery looked like so many pictures to us, but some enjoyed or pretended to enjoy them, so we swallowed our thoughts. President Roosevelt was not waiting with open arms at his domicile, the White House, which served us right for coming from a Republican stronghold, but his home was duly inspected. On the way back to Little Egypt for lunch, the hitherto mentioned rain began to descend. After lunch, the Mount Vernon trip and the class picture oecurred. After a look at the Potomac in front of Mount Vernon, the skeptics in the crowd began to doubt the dollar-throwing incident, but, even so, if Washington had tossed the silver dollar across the river, he was wasting his time as President, what with Notre Dame looking for a good passer. Back at the hotel, baggage, including legal souvenirs, was packed. It was a dilapidated crew that entered upon the Pennsy flyer in the Union Station Friday night. Several similes might apply, to wit: Like Marathon dancers after two months; like the morning after the night before; or like Latin students after a Virgil test. As we trudged our weary way across Market Street, bedward bound we murmured into the cars of a handy junior. Go to Washington for the historical interest, exclus- ively, my son.” V?

THE WORK of this year's sophomore team was, on the whole, commendable; but there were a few raw spots due, chiefly, to their inexperience. The sophomore team with a complete schedule of its own is an excellent project. Players unable to make Junior Varsity grade gain much needed experience in sophomore games. The majority of these rather inexperienced sophs will be smoothed off in the jayvees next year, even' tually taking their places as varsity men. We hope that this early training will so strengthen them as to produce complete and permanent immunity from Lower Merionitis. Opp. U.D. Opp. LJ.D.

Varsity Football ALTHOUGH Upper Darby's football season was not successful (considering jLjl an excess of victories over losses as constituting a successful season), the improvement over last year was marked. When the season ended, we found chalked up on the ledger three victories, one tie, and four defeats. Many observers believe that the team's true value cannot be judged from its record since at times it smashed through all opposition only to slip back into a disorganized mass of beginners. Clendenning, an outstanding lineman for three years, was elected captain at the season's close. A great deal of good material remains for next year. This consists of juniors with a sprinkling of sophomores who showed excellent development toward the end of the season. The school is gaining a better spirit, and a new confidence, which we know will carry Upper Darby to the heights of suburban football. Opp. U.D. Opp. U.D.

Coach Remmey deserves all praise since in this, his first year at Upper Darby, he has turned out a very successful team. We have high hopes for some of the fellows who played part Varsity and part Jayvee. Although not quite able to make Varsity grade this year they will constitute the backbone of next year's team. Many critics assert that the plan of maintaining three teams, a varsity, junior varsity, and sophomore team, weakens the coaching by putting too great a burden on them. However, even if there is a small loss due to this the loss is more than offset by the advantages resulting from the present system. These advantages arc the opportunity for mediocre players to participate and the opportunity for developing and seasoning inexperienced material. The other main sports boast intramural programs but this is obviously impossible in football. Therefore, this plan is a valuable substitute for intra- mural and has the advantages of competent coaching and training facilities. Since the majority of the Junior Varsity squad consisted of Juniors and Sophomores we anticipate a wealth of good material from this source. The members of this squad, upon satisfying the require- ments, received reserve team insignia. Opp. U.D.

Soccer COMPLETING his eighteenth year as Coach of the Upper Darby Soccer teams, Mr. Milne has again brought his proteges home supreme over suburban rivals—the fifth time in the last six years that the Team has held the Suburban League Crown. The Coaches, Mr. Milne and Mr. Minacci, both were of the opinion before the season opened, that the squad had no chances of successfully defending its championship, but the members had improved so much since the year before that these opinions were reversed. No one player was exceptionally outstanding, the perfection of team work being the cause of the team's success. B. Murray, Pepper, Wheaton, Becker, and Uber made up the forward wall, with Kennedy seeing plenty of service; J. Murray, Dolan, and J. Griffith, backed up the line at halfback posh tion, while Bierling and Southcott played fullback. Chamberlain guarded the goal from enemy thrusts. U.D. Opp. Swarthmore, J.

Fourth STARTING the season with a severe handicap, the loss of five outstanding runners because of graduation, the cross-country team developed into another one of Mr. Strange's successful teams. The well known U. D. Harriers went through the season without losing a dual meet. The squad was most efficiently captained throughout the season by Howard Lorraine. Jack Geist, a junior, was the only other letter man remaining from last years squad. Harry Mount, Joseph Shortlidge, Lloyd Ellis, William loachim, Fred Thompkins, Robert Robinson, and William DeLuca were the most consistent performers of a large squad of eighty-five. Three large interscholastic meets, Villanova Inter- scholastics, Central Invitation Meet, and the La Salle Interscholastics filled out a hard schedule, which also contained dual meets with Southern, West Chester, and Simon Gratz. In the Villanova Interscholastics, with approximately 130 running, Harry Mount came in eleventh, ahead of the Central runners, who are the city champions. Ever since Mr. Strange has been coaching cross- country, the interest in this sport has been increas- ing until it has become a major sport. [139] OAK Junior Varsity Cross Country Bottom Row Black.

The Team defeated Simon Gratz Freshmen with a perfect score of 15, hut probably the gem of the season was their victory in the La Salle Invitation meet. Each one of the sixteen participating schools entered A and B team. Therefore it was quite a triumph for Upper Darby's Junior Varsity. At the end of the season there were $0 boys out for the Junior team. The following won their re' serve team awards: McKee, Hara, Klienz, La Braska, Anderson, Zimmerman, and Kcillman.

THIS YEAR S veteran hockey team did not have a very imposing season, win- ning three, losing three, and tying one game. However, they upheld the U. D. tradition by their overwhelming victory at the expense of their keenest rival, Haverford. The high scores made against the other teams are proof of the fine cooperation of the girls. Seven captains, representing various sports, were on the squad. They were the captains of these teams: Varsity Hockey, Reserve Team Hockey, Varsity Basket- ball, Reserve Team Basketball, Swimming, Track, and Tennis. By graduation, the team loses Captain Phoebe Hackett, Marion Potts, Anne Jackson, Kathryn Koch, Dorothy Powdermakcr, Ruth LeCron. Rae Holden, Marge Murray, Rita Goebber, Evelyn Gordon, Edna Kunkel, and the capable manager, Ellen Mae Meslin, leaving only Captain-elect Mary Rudolph and Miriam Violek to form a backbone for next year's team.

WHEN the call for candidates was given, there seemed to he a grand rush of Sophomores, all eager to gain a position on the team. Few of them had ever had any previous training in the art of hockey, hut with the aid of the more experienced Juniors, they soon learned the fine points of the game. In a short time, led by Captain Dorothy Potts, the Second Teamers were able to hear the daily onrushes of the Varsity with' out flinching. Occasionally they would rise to great heights with the pep and spirit that was theirs and the Varsity would have to how before their zeal. The Varsity salutes you.

We don't imply that past teams haven't been excellent. On the contrary, second place for five consecutive years is a worthy record; but first place for five consecutive years is even worthier. What we look for some day is a state championship in Upper Darby and we believe it's not too much to hope for. Not only did Upper Darby place second in the league this year, but she was also runner-up in the Kiwanis Tournament. Varsity Basketball U.D.

Mr. Boys’ Second Team Basketball BUSHELS of praise for our second team. They came through with a chain- pionship. Losing only two league games, they emerged from a hard'fought race with the mythical diadem. It's worthy of note that when the seconds lost to a team they came back later to lick them. Probably the most thrilling moment of the season came when Wilkes, in the last forty-five seconds of play, sank one from midcourt to win, 12-11, over Lower Merion. But Jim isn't the only one worthy of praise,—the entire team deserves mention, especially Armstrong and Frazier at center, Heyd, Rude and Potts at guard, and Toppan and Murray, forwards. According to logic, a championship second team in '32-33 ought to mean a championship first in '33-34. We hope our logic is correct. Opp. U. D.

WITH Miss Lawrence as the experienced and competent coach, and under the inspiring and capable leadership of Captain Pottsie, the girls' basket- ball team completed a most successful season. Their record of achievements is marred only by the two knots in the tail of Mickey Mouse, the mascot, thus making it a sad tale. The team will lose Dot Flaville, high-scoring for- ward; Evelyn Meissner, guard; Captain Marion Potts, the best jump center in suburban ranks; Helen Imhof and Sophia Barr, substitutes. The embryo of next year's team will be centered around Dot Hutt, diminutive forward, and her sophomore and junior teammates.

Even these ups and downs didn t dampen the spirits of the girls, for they seemed just as peppy in every game as their hig sisters, the Varsity sextet. The success of this year's team may he attributed to the excellent sportsmanship and co-operation of the girls. However, the scores of the games are very indicative of the narrow margins by which the Purple and Gold girls were humbled. U.

ALTHOUGH there was no suburban league in existence this year, Upper Darby's swimming team met with one of its most successful seasons, start' mg off by losing to Olney and conquering St. Joseph's. Coach Herzog's natators came back strong in the latter part of their schedule to win nine out of twelve meets. Olney, Girard College, and Northeast, all very powerful city aggregations, were the only schools which turned the tables. Coatesville, one of U. D.'s most feared rivals, was beaten twice. The team produced a fine group of stars, outstand- ing among which were Anton, Captain McGonigal, Dick Cross, and Len Wenger. The relay team, con sisting of Cross, Schell, McGonigal and Clcndeiv ning, took care of almost every competition. Captain' elect Anton carried off high'seoring honors with 63 points. Dick Cross was a close second with 59 points. Opp. U.D. Opp. U.D. St. Joseph's ... 30 36 Abington ... . .14 44 Olney 38 21 Haverford . . . .22 43 N. E.

By winning the Intersuburban Girls' Swimming Championship for Upper Darby, the school has two legs on the Mecke Trophy. One more championship will give this trophy to Upper Darby permanently. This year's team was espe- cially speedy, as they established new school speed records in every event. Five good seniors will be lost to next year's team—Anne Jackson, Jane Kepner, Marjorie Frain, Maybelle Penley, and Rita Moak. An unusual record was established by Rita Moak, who took first place in diving in every league meet. Gwen MacMullin was elected Captain for next year.

Postal matches were fired with teams from ten different states of the Union and four shoulder-to-shoulder matches were held. The earnestness and perseverance of the Team members made this successful season possible. The Faculty Championship trophy established this year for the person receiv ing the highest average in four shooting positions, namely; prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing was won by Hugh MacMullan. Hugh is a member of the first team and has done excellent shooting in all positions. Henry Hartmann and Robert Harkins received second and third places, respectively, in this contest. The National Rifle Association arranges series of matches for rifle teams in all parts of the United States. This year the Rifle Team entered the winter series and was placed in Class B. The Team com- peted against forty rifle teams from all sections of the country. The winter series extended over a period of ten weeks and, for the first time, the Upper Darby Rifle Team won first place, for which the Team received its first trophy. It is the first trophy presented to the school that was won in National competition. [149] OAK ......... First Row: Thompson, Reidlebergcr. Wilkes, Wilgu .

This auspicious beginning seemed to mark a very successful sea' son, but things didn't turn out that way. The team just about broke even with two ties, seven wins, and eight losses. The majority of the team consisted of seniors whose loss will not strengthen this year's squad. However, we hope that several juniors who showed up well will improve enough to furnish the skeleton of a good varsity. -r.

A total of eight new records was set up in the various events. Coach Wolfgang declared that the team was excellently balanced. Perhaps if one desired to be very accurate it would be correct to say that the running events were strongest. However, the degree of difference was so small as to be negligible.

The record of the girls' team, when pulled from the file and dusted off, revealed four wins as against one loss. Thus we see that the gals behaved eminently well. As in the case of boys' track the team was very well balanced. No particular star can be singled out. Dot Hara was the Captain. Opp. May 6. . . . .Won May 13.... .Won May 19... . .Won May 23 ... .

Mr. McDonnell’s turf'turners started their season with a defeat at the hands of Haverford, our neighbor and chief rival. Later in the season on our home course, Paxon Hollow, we turned the tables. The matches with Haverford were our hardest fought and the ones we desired most to win. The feud between Captain Dawson Huber, of the Class of 1933, and Captain Menard, of Haverford, was one which stirred up a great deal of interest. The team went through the season defeating one sub' urban school after another. The boys ran into some stiff opposition outside their own ranks when they lost to Wilmington in one match and tied them in another. They also lost a post season match to West Philadelphia, champions of the city league. The line-up during the majority of the matches was as follows: Huber, Sammon, Harmey, Whittaker, Dyke, with Kane acting as substitute. U. D. 10 ..Haverford, 17 14 . . L.

With this rousing song to spur them on, the cheer-leaders have completed an active season of cheering for all the football and basketball teams, for assembly speakers and exchange assemblies, and at pep meetings. Of the six on the squad, only two had had any previous cheering experience — Jane Kepner and Edgar Harmey. Jane Kepner, the captain, deserves especial praise, as do the two new seniors Frank Campbell and Alfred Teti. The juniors — Edgar Harmey and Charles Moore, and the sophomore Dorothy Crccry, also did excellent work, w'hich leads us to expect great things of them next year. [156] Front Row Nicm.m. Hamilton.

EACH year Mr. Haupt faces the strenuous task of molding a group of pupils into an orchestra. This group varies in talent and ability and often an impor- tant instrument is lacking. In this case, some substitution has to be made. This year the gap was in the lower string section, but when saxophones were substi- tuted in this place, the gap was adequately filled. The orchestra played a program at the Ridley Park High School as part of an exchange assembly program. They also played for both the Junior and Senior plays, the Parents' Night program, and the Fall Musicale. The violin section, which numbers twenty-one players, proved a very capable one under the lead- ership of Fred Hoge, who is an able concert-master as well as solo violinist. Over half of the members of the orchestra were chosen to play in the All-Suburban Music Festival Concert, which is composed of pupils from Lower Merion, Radnor, Lansdowne, Haverford, and Upper Darby. A small group from the orchestra was chosen to play the score for the Dramus Club pro- duction, Purple Towers. This group has suc- ceeded in doing a very fine piece of work and one that is greatly appreciated by the club.

He gets his wish—but ithout leaving the house. Among other things, he has his eye set for the flash of love at first sight, and he imagines he sees it in the gorgeous lady who rushes into his quiet life with the thrilling tale that she is a celebrated Russian dancer who has escaped from Moscow with the priceless jewels of an awfully grand duchess and is being pursued by a terrible Bolshevist. Will not the brave gentleman save her and show her a hiding place for her jewels? Will he? In a minute! Thus she learns of a secret cabinet in which is a parchment giving the details of a supposed hidden treasure, and this is what she really wants. The parchment stated that an ancestor of Ambrose Applejohn was a notorious pirate. To guard against burglars who are prowling about, Ambrose sits up all night but only to fall asleep and dream that he is a pirate. As mild a man as ever scuttled a cup of coffee is changed into a bold bad buccaneer of the Spanish Main, cussing his crew, calling for his grog, dragging forth a comely wench, sticking a knife into a treacherous dog, and finally putting down a mutiny by cutting cards with its mutinous leader—always turning up an ace. Waking, he has further adventure with the would-be crooks and finally beats them off, about which time he discovers that he is also in love with young Poppy Faire, who has been living there as his ward all along.

First, there is Fanny Cavendish, wife of the deceased Aubrey Cavendish, The first actor of his day, and she is planning a tour for the coming season although she is in her seven' tieth year. There is her brother Herbert Dean, a pompous player now in his decline; Julie, her daughter is at the crest of her career as a Broadway star. Tony, her son, hav' ing forsaken the stage for Hollywood, rushes home only to flee to Europe to escape the attention of a Polish actress. Soon he is back again in New York seeking refuge from a lovesick Balkan princess. A granddaughter, Gwen, just budding into important ingenue roles, jolts the family by marrying a non'professional and forsaking the stage, although, as it turns out later, only temporarily. Through it all, Fanny Cavendish rules the family with her courage and her sharp tongue. Though her children are idols to the public, they are defenceless under the withering fire of the old lady's sarcasm. [163] “PURPLE TOWERS” Staged and Directed by David D. M.

[164} OAK 1933 Dramus Club SYNOPSIS MARY VANDERLIP, heiress and owner of Purple Towers, returning from school in Paris, finds that her agent has leased the property to a Miss Urseba Applegate and a young novelist, Philip Bradley. All meet at a railroad station at Centerville. Red Nichols, a prize fighter, and his manager, Earl Parker, have been using Purple Towers for training quarters and are making their escape, when they learn that they have left the contract for the big fight back in the place. They arc compelled to return for it. Their having occupied the old house without permission has given rise to the story that Purple Towers is haunted. Miss Applegate, informed of the fact, scoffs at it. She invites the young novelist to join her guests at the Vanderlip mansion; and he accepts because of his interest in Mary, who has been mis- taken for the Applegate cook. They leave for Pur- ple Towers in Hank’s Pink Taxi. At Purple Towers, the search for the contract by the hidden Red and Parker gives the impression that the place is haunted. Bradley’s valet. Snowball, and Tillic, Miss Applegate's maid, are especially affected by the happenings. Tillie collects the valuables of the guests in a suitcase, which is accidentally ex- changed with one belonging to Red. Mary is ac- cused of the theft. She cannot reveal her true identity because of Bradley's enmity for the owners of Purple Towers. Parker and Red are caught and explain everything. Philip Bradley falls so deeply in love that he forgets his dislike for the Vanderlip family and the curtain falls with the prospect of a wedding. [165] [166] Choral Club President Arthur Auringer Secretary Doref.n Sinclair T reasurer Frazer Shgrtlidce Librarians Mr. Dengler William Birchall Advisor Ernest Linder THE largest extra-curricular activity in the school, the Choral Club, was com- posed of the .’25 students who elected chorus this year. The Club gave two concerts. A Christmas Carol program was the contribution of the group as a part of the Fall Musicale. On April 8th and 10th, the Club sang the sacred cantata Olivet to Calvary, by Maunder. The first concert was held in our Junior High School Auditorium before an audience of 1400. On Monday, April 10th, the Club appeared at the Irvine Auditorium at the invita- tion of the Music Education Department of the University of Pennsylvania. Over a thousand per- sons greeted the singers and received them most enthusiastically. Samuel Laciar, music critic of The Philadelphia Ledger attended this performance and gave the Club a splended write-up. This year the last appearance of the Choral Club was on May 29th at the Junior High School, when the Suburban Festival Chorus, composed of students from Lansdowne, Lower Merion, Haverford, Rad- nor, and Upper Darby sang as one group.

OAK 1933 Band Captain John Dotti Lieutenants Erwin Shrader George Keating Sergeants Stanley Best Albert Money Thomas Tate Henry Tessmer Richard Nicholas THIS year marks the fifth year of this Organization under the leadership of Mr. Dotti. The Band was under a severe handicap at the opening of this school year because of the loss of almost half of its more experienced players by graduation last June. The Band played at all this past season’s football games. During this period, much time was spent in drilling, in marching, and in forming of the initial letters of the various high schools. The Band has also played at several suburban high schools, and its programs were well received. A picked group has played for several civic asso- ciations. Through these programs the Band has proven to be an asset to the community. Because of the success of last year’s Band Concert, it has been decided to make this an annual affair.

THE Acorn, beginning its fifth year by publishing the first paper on the first Thursday of school, has continued to “grow and gain and give.” The Staff has been organized under the editor-in-chief, Kermit Gordon, and two assistant editors, Beulah Hutt and Crawford Bonow. In the Organization this year, the Staff has worked under the policy board which consists of ten members,—the Editor, two assistant editors, sports editor, and six other stu- dents selected by the editor and his assistants. Each policy board functioned for about eight weeks. The work of this group is to make a complete coverage of the news, select “We Congratulate, and decide upon the editorial policy. Several new features have been introduced this year, most important of which have been the Stu- dent’s Own column, the many well-written inter- views, and the inclusion of much Tuesday and fre- quently Wednesday news in the Thursday paper. The Acorn won first place among high schools of class A in the contest conducted by the Penn- sylvania School Press Association and third place in class A in the nation-wide contest conducted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The Editor attended the Columbia Contest as a Delegate from Upper Darby.

This year the Upi'Dah succeeded admirably in its purpose of reflecting the literary and humorous side of the student body, the creative work in art and writing, and acknowledging the leader ship of those individuals honored with “Fideles. The proof is found in the enthusiastic reception of its four issues, representing the work and thought of students from all classes. As further proof of its merits, the Columbia Schol- astic Press Association awarded the Upi'Dah second place in its class in the national contest this winter. Without the loyal and tireless superintendence of Miss Gaukrodger, the publication would not have advanced so far as it has. One of the foremost thoughts of the staff is to make the Upi'Dah pro- gressive, modern, and appealing, and the results were entirely satisfactory.

II TER ALLY overflowing with new ideas, the Oak staff has made many innova' j tions this year, especially in the art work and arrangement of the book. An airplane view of the school on the inside of the cover: individual instead of panel photographs of each senior; a unified divider design and on rough paper; cartoons of the clubs, sports and activities; an off-center arrangement carried throughout the book in a somewhat “modern man- ner; these are some of the ideas introduced in this issue. Although all of the actual work was done by seniors, much of the credit for the success of this number should go to Mr. Noel, under whose inspir- ing and resourceful leadership the work was done. The staff, too, has been responsive, and eager to do whatever there was to be done. In order to complete the four hundred and thirty personal biographies, it was necessary to begin work near the beginning of the year. This one volume, then, represents a sea- son's work.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL, which is the legislative hotly of the student government, has completed its third year of work. One of the first problems which occupied the attention of the Council was the discussion of class dues. The decision reached was that each class might adopt a plan of its own, but no school-wide action would he taken until the experience of the Class of 1934, which has not collected dues, was observed and appraised. The cap and gown discussion and its subsequent vote by the students and their parents was another problem taken up by the Student Council. The Council has also worked with the physical education department on its plans for May Day. The Upper Darby Student Council is a member of the Philadelphia Suburban High School Student Council Association, which was organized on May 9, 1932. The Council sent delegates to the five meetings of that organization held during the year.

BY THE continuation of the policy of our school in allowing the student body to be self-governing and to dispense justice for infractions of our school code, the Tribunal has again demonstrated its value to Upper Darby Senior High School. With Mr. Dame as advisor, the Tribunal has convened on a few occasions to hear cases brought before its body. Careful consideration of all testimony, with absolute fairness to all concerned, has resulted. The Tribunal believes in justice to the accused and to the student body. It is worthy of note that very few cases were brought up before the Tribunal. The scarcity of cases has been due almost wholly to the loyalty and respect the students have shown for our school. In order to acquaint new members with the proce- dure of conducting cases, mock trials have been re- hearsed at the beginning of each semester. At times during the year, special meetings were held in which student problems were discussed. When considered of sufficient importance, they were presented by the Tribunal’s representative in the Student Council. The Tribunal closes this year with the hope that in the future all of its cases will be general and not specific.

UNDER the advisorship of Miss Mallon, the Board of Monitors has focused its attention upon the traffic to and from the lunch room, and the conditions of the locker rooms and halls during the lunch period, leaving the deportment in the cafeteria almost entirely in the hands of the individual stu- dents. Thirty-seven seniors served in the capacity of Monitor this year. A group of ten special aides served as Monitors in the beginning of school until regular elections were held. The representative on the Student Council was Gwendolyn MacMullin. In the second group Melvin Marshall served as representative of the Monitors on the Student Council. The Senior Class gave its consent to the appoint- ment of Monitors who were chosen from those who had previously served in the capacity of Monitor. This group was chosen from Monitors of Senior year with the exception of Beulah Hutt who served during her Junior year. Melvin Marshall retained his position as President and Student Council rep- resentative for the remainder of the year. [174] THE Debating Team has followed two precedents of last year, inasmuch as the Team was composed of students of all three classes, and as these Teams presented debates before suburban and city organizations. As the Upper Darby student representative in the Suburban Debating League, Rhoda Weitzenfeld was chosen Secretary of that Organization at the beginning of the debating season. It was the first time that a student was elected to this position. The two questions debated by the Team this year are: Resolved: “That one-half of all state and local revenue should be derived from sources other than taxes on tangible property, and Resolved: That the Government of the United States should recognize Soviet Russia immediately.” Beulah Hutt and Kath- leen Harris were the Captains of the teams that de- bated the tax question, and Caroline Furst and Joyce Knoedler were the Captains of the other two teams. Rhoda Weitzenfeld deserves special commenda- tion for her excellent delivery and refutation work. Howard Lorraine was rated very high in several debates for both the presentation and organization of his speech. Caroline Furst and Beulah Hutt both did very outstanding work as refutation speakers and as Captains of their respective teams, and Leo Avondoglio was, over a period of two years, the nucleus around which one of the teams was built.

THE Typing Team is made up of seven members of the Senior Typewriting Class. Since only five can compete in a match, an elimination contest is given before the match, and the five highest scorers make up the team. This year the Team, sponsored by Miss Hoeflich, participated in four matches, two with Collingdale, and two with Ridley Park. The Team lost both times to Ridley Park, but was able to defeat Collingdale in both of their meets. The highest team average this year was 57. The highest individual score was 67, made by Thelma Baumgardner. Each year the Commerce Club presents a pin to each member of the Team who has met the requirements. [176] 1933 Chess Front Rou.

For the second consecutive year the Upper Darby Chess J_ Team, composed of five members of the Chess Club, has not tasted the bitter sting of defeat. This year, the team, advised and coached by Mr. Kuntzle- man, decisively and convincingly won the Suburban Chess League championship, this season being the first of the league's existence. This year marked the fourth during which Upper Darby has had a chess club. During those four years, only one interscholastic team match was lost. The members of this year's victorious thinking ag- gregation are: Garney Escott, Crawford Bonow, Albert McFall, Byron Kaysen, Herman Lefco, and Donald Santmyers. The last three named are sopho- mores, and this forecasts favorable prophesies for next year. Opp. U.D. Opp. U.D.

THE CLUB was organized three years ago when several students who were vitally interested in the field of mathematics decided to organize some extra- curricular activity for those so inclined. Miss Bock undertook the advisorship, and has been offering her much-needed and much-appreciated aid during the four years of the organization's existence. The name of the club itself, Algetrarca, represents the various branches of mathematics. The first two letters of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, arithmetic and calculus are used respectively to compose the name. This year the group visited the observatory at Swarthmore College, and glimpsed several stars of the heavens. Another activity was the second annual banquet. Sophomores were permitted membership this year, bringing the total enrollment to thirty-five. The club met twice monthly, and diversified programs were presented. Besides talks on Einstein, and the origin of numbers, talks on the magic square and the slide rule were also presented.

WITH “Others” as its motto, the Boys' HiY Club has, this year, endcav' ored to be of real service to the school and community. In the school, the Boys' and Girls' HiY have maintained the information desk and have supplied ushers for athletic contests, Parents' Night, and the Musicales. The wants of visiting athletic teams were attended to, and a parade to the LanS' downe football game was sponsored by the Boys' HiY. Two of the most out' standing of the frequent dinners held throughout the year were the football dinner, at which coaches of rival teams spoke, and which was held for purposes of good fellowship between the rival schools and coaches; and the annual Father and Son Banquet. The Boys' Hi Y has always tried to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character in all the work it has done. The club wishes to express its deep appreciation for the faithful work of its efficient advisors, Messrs. Diehl and Goas, and to Mr. Tyson, who is always interested in HiY work.

THE purpose of the Girls' HiY Club is to inculcate among the girls of the Upper Darby Senior High School the development and practice of the high' cst ideals of scholarship, of character, and of service to the school. The main aim of the HiY is to be of service to the school. This is accomplished throughout the year because of the eagerness and pleasure found in performing all the assigned tasks. The girls began the year by acting as guides for the first few days of school. They shared with the Boys' Hi Y in taking care of the infor- mation desk. Later the girls aided the music depart' ment by ushering at both the Fall and Spring Musicals. At Christmas time the girls very generously cob lected such things as neckties, handkerchiefs, and jewelry. These were sent to the mountain people at Caney Creek. The girls also very ably managed the welfare room for Mrs. Wolstenholme, to which needy folks came to receive clothing. The Club gave several dinners—one to the hockey and winter sports, and the most important of all the dinners was the Mother and Daughter's Banquet.

A former member of the Club, Rhoda Weitzenfeld, who had spent the previous summer in the British Isles, gave a talk on Literary Shrines in England. A large group of sophomores were taken into the Club early in the season. Money for a basket of food was collected at Christmas time. The Annual Spring Doggie Roast was held in the woods near the school. Miss Sommerfield again proved herself a most capable advisor, and one who made every meeting enjoyable. [182] 1933 History Club President Kermit Gordon Vice-President Ralph Money Secretary Anne Darlington T reasurer Ruth Mendenhall Advisors Mr. Kuntzleman Mr. Thomas THE History Club, Upper Darby’s largest non-curricular organization, did much to keep its members in touch with the problems facing the Govern- ment through several discussions and debates. The members so enjoyed the periodic discussions that this means of keeping the club in touch with national affairs will become a permanent part of next year's program. Composed of 110 Juniors and Seniors who have been good students in history, the Club also visited points of interest in the vicinity, notably the county courts at Media and the Eastern Penitentiary. It has become a custom for the History Club to take one long trip during the year. This year the trip was a historical tour to New York City. Ninety students made up the party. Although the elements did their best to ruin the trip, the tourists managed to view as much of New York as is possible in a single day.

THE Steinmetz Scientific Society was organized January, 1926, under the supervision of Mr. Oerlein and has therefore passed the seventh year of its existence. The motto of the Club is School, Science, Service” and its primary objects are to promote an interest in science and to be of service to the school in such things as it is able. The public address system that was installed last year has been improved and has been adapted so that recordings may be made. The public speaking classes have already made use of this facility as a means of correcting faults of speech. In addition to this, the radio department has made an ultra short wave radio receiving and sending set similiar to those used by professional announcers at sporting events. The photography department has done photography of grade school projects. During the Christmas holidays the second annual reunion dinner, at which a large number of the Club's alumni were present, was held. At this din- ner plans for the circulation of the alumni of the “Steinmetz Journal” were formulated. [184] I....WVm.t !: iE'll Illi I! ill '■ III! f IIS IIS IIS 111 IS I IMS! IS..

One is to learn more about books; the other is to gain some knowledge of library work by helping in the Library. The literary side of the club is taken care of in the bi monthly meetings; the practical side by actual work in the library. At the beginning of each year an executive committee, composed of the officers and the chairmen of the several committees, meet to plan the work of the club for the year. During the past year there have been nine committees among which the work of the club, both in the library and in out' side activities, has been divided. The girls who have worked in the library at different times this past year have found the work both interesting and edu' cational. Special activities of the club for this year include a trip to the Parkway Library and a visit to a high school library. The annual social of the club is held in May. At this affair newly elected members arc welcomed.

The advisorship changed to Miss Richards after two years, and then, because of the increased membership, Mr. Hamilton was added. The membership of the club is open only to junior and senior classes. It is based upon the students' scholastic standing and interest in commercial work. The main objective of the club this year was to determine the number of students who, after taking the commercial course, applied its use after gradua- tion. Several committees were appointed for the various projects and many favorable reports were obtained. At Christmas time the club distributed food supplies to the needy families and gave some financial aid to the Delaware County Hospital. The club is also quite active socially. The main events this past year have been the Hallowe’en party and dance, and the annual Valley Forge picnic. The members and alumni are invited to these events and a good time is had by all who attend. [186] 1933 S. P. Q. R.

THE original and humorous skits and plays, lantern slides, interesting talks on Rome and the Roman customs and history, which arc presented at its meet' ings, are some of the ways by which this club has continued to create an interest in the subject which its members study. The name of this club, which was organized four years ago, is taken from the letters on Roman standards which signify “Senatus Populusque Romanus, meaning “the Senate and the Roman people. This year the club has sponsored two trips, one to the University Museum and the other to the thea' tre to see “The Sign of the Cross, a picture center' ing around the rule of Nero and the persecution of the Christians. On the first trip, the members saw Roman pottery, kitchen utensils, many similar to the ones used today, many kinds of coin, forms of dress at various periods in Roman history, Roman furniture and many other things which were of par' ticular interest to the Latin students.

THIS year Upper Darby's German Club was again a member of the Inter- High School German Club of Philadelphia, an organization composed of the German clubs of Philadelphia and suburban high schools. The German Club feels that they have attained much more of the cultural side of the study of German than is possible in class study. The works and lives of the great German poets and dramatists, and a study of science and music in Germany were two of the topics of the year. In presenting many plays at meetings, the members of the club have gotten excellent practice in speaking German. As usual, the season was brought to a successful close by a banquet given by the club at a German restaurant.

THE many enthusiastic members of “Le Cercle Francais” are toujours joyeux when the monthly meeting of that organization rolls around with one of its interesting programs. Three years ago, a group of students who were interested in extra-curricular activity in French gathered together and formed Le Cercle Francais, under the leadership of Miss Chrisman and the guidance of the entire French department. This year, through the work and co-operation of the members and advisors, many an amusing meeting has been carefully planned and carried out. Guignols, or puppet plays, and stage plays in French not only provided entertainment, but have served as an opportunity for practical French conversation. There.have been games and singing for the group and French charades. At several of the meetings, the members were entertained by vocal or instru- mental music of French composers. Moving pictures of French regions have been an occasional source of real pleasure. “Le Cercle” is indebted for this pleasant pastime to Miss Chrisman, who has done much to make the club interesting and beneficial.

A LITTLE after Christmas, with Mr. Hall as advisor, the Boys' Fencing Club was founded by Norman Scurria. The boys became proficient enough to have matches with other schools, with the result that a boys' team was formed participating in three matches this year. Friends' Central. 3 Upper Darby... 6 Episcopal Academy .... 5 Upper Darby... 4 Penn Charter .. 5 Upper Darby... 4 Because of the interest of girls in fencing, Mr. Hall issued a call which was answered by about fifty'six girls, who were admitted to the club under the boys' charter. The boys' team coaches the girls. Dues of fifty cents for the first week and ten cents for each of the next five weeks were used to purchase foils, masks, and other necessary equipment. The growing interest in fencing in Upper Darby makes it probable that, at some time in the near future, fencing will become a major sport with letter awards.

FROM a nucleus of six girls, an attempt has been made this year to revive interest in the Tay-Wistalvan Club. The club was formerly a very important factor in the extra-curricular activities of the school, but during the school year 1931-32, interest suddenly waned, and the club ceased to function. This year, under the advisorship of Miss Weimer and Miss Forcey, the club was reorganized. Application blanks were issued — seniors and juniors being admitted last fall, and the sophomores in February of this year, until now the membership totals thirty-six girls. The Tay-Wistalvan Club was formed in 1927, and the purpose of its organization was two fold: first, to afford an opportunity for girls to enjoy the friendships created in class; and, second, to bring into a closer group those interested in enjoying and cre- ating things literary. The name indicates the literary interest of the club—Tay for Bayard Taylor, Wist for Owen Wister, al for Louisa Alcott, and van for Henry Van Dyke. r i9i] OAK THIS year, under the supervision of Mr. Dengler, the “A Chorus, started only last year, has proved itself worthwhile. As the name suggests, this chorus is composed of people who make the grade of “A” in their respective chorus classes. They meet together for rehearsal every Tuesday and Thursday during the senior lunch period. The number in the group changes with every report period. This variation ranges from 60 to 100. The club sings exchange programs with other schools. This year two trips were made. Frankt'ord High School was our host on the first of these occa- sions and Lower Merion High School on the second. It is Mr. Dengler’s desire that, out of this group- ing of the better voices in the Chorus, sometime we may have an A Capella Choir in Upper Darby High School.
