Is this beau- tiful window really in our school? In our hurried, careless woy many of us have over- looked it. This is why the aim of The Oak this year is to bring back to your memory the little things easily missed and the experiences that we could hardly forget. We have worked to give you a lasting memory of your high school life. If in years to come, you look back upon this book with pride and a remembrance of the good fellowship and agreeable work which you enjoyed, then this Oak will be a true success. FLORENCE I HAINS DEDICATION J HREE years ago we were sophomores. Every- thing was new to us. But from the very first day our class advisers have been our loyal friends. They have worked with tireless efforts as our guides and any success we have attained, we owe directly to their genuine interest and loyal cooperation. The time has come for us, who are graduating, to show our deep appreciation. There- fore, we dedicate this issue of The Oak to our class advisers. Miss Florence I. Hains and Mr. Edson C. Strange. THROUGH THESE DOORS TO LEARNING LONG MAY IT WAVE! UPPER DARB SNOWED UNDER! WITHIN THESE PAGES FACULTY SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN SPORTS MUSIC AND DRAMA ACTIVITIES HAVE tried to vary the contents of the Oak in an endeavor to make it as different as possible. In the center of each group of seniors a snapshot of activities around Upper Darby has been placed. These center views depict memories with which all seniors arc familiar. QN THE inside cover of this book we hove pic- tured the daily routine of the Upper Darby student from nine o'clock until three o'clock. Then we moy find the student buying tickets to go home or participating in the various sports, numerous clubs, or one of the three publications. On certain Saturday evenings the student enjoys dancing to melodious music in the Junior High School. So twenty-four hours have passed and another day is dawning. THE FACULTY Myrtle V.

They moke possible those soups, salads, and sandwiches we all relish around lunch time. The smiling willingness of Mrs. Knox to provide for our divers banquets and activities is greatly appreciated. Then there is Mr. Butterworth, and his splendid corps of workmen. They try conscientiously to do the tosks that a much larger force would find difficulty in completing. These are the folks who contribute in a large measure to our happiness and well-being. TOP ROW: Gribbin, Paullcy, Govaghan, Knox, Timm, Fenwick, Allen, Corson.

IN MEMORIAM who have gathered knowledge under her guidance and we who had the privilege of being her friend will always cherish the loving memory of Hazel H. Bemis. Mrs. Bemis not only taught us material facts, but she inspired in us higher ideals and everlasting ambitions. From her we learned to be gracious, to have courage with which to face our problems, and to be kind and thoughtful to others. To know her was to love her. —THE OAK . 1936 FAMOUS SAYINGS OF FAMOUS TEACHERS Mr. Shull—“Two weeks in detention. Mr. Slagle—“Shut up or I'll add another week!

We, who thought we were so grown up, discovered how easy it was to get back to our baby habits. Balloons, lolly-pops, dolls and jumping rope got the party started and the general spirit readily followed. After a short entertainment, dancing and re- freshments followed. The evening left with us another lasting memory of Upper Darby High School. T H E . 19 3 6 OAK Class History THE OAK • 1936 SEPTEMBER 15, 1933 marked the beginning of a new epoch for some five hundred sophomores who entered the ever open door of Upper Darby High School. On this day began three successful and enjoyable years under the worthy guidance of two most capable and willing advisers. How important we felt that first day. At last we had reached high school... At last we had grown up!.. Although at times we did look in unlikely parts of the building for our rooms and did receive some glances from the high and mighty seniors that made us feel rather insignificant and perhaps, a little superfluous, still we also say that we soon learned where our rooms were, that the seniors were to be taken with a pinch of salt, and that we held a very definite place in the running of the school. Our first attempt at entertaining the upper classman occurred at our Saint Valentine's Dance. With many dancing feet keeping time to the rhythmic tunes of Del Regis, the evening soared to the ceiling of success. Thus our sophomore year at high school came to an end. Another September morn presented itself in all its autumn glory and once more many feet tramped up the hill. This time finds the once timid sophomores sophisticated juniors, ready to make the world sit up and take notice. The novelty of being in high school seemed to have worn off a little and we were taking the situation calmly. After all we had spent all last year in Upper Darby. We were veterans! Our Junior year proved a year of experimentation. The first idea was expended on the St. Patty's Day Dance—making it a program dance. It was a stunt never before tried in Upper Darby and resulted in a fair success. Instead of purchasing tickets the couples purchased programs, and thus each had a chance to sign up for the various numbers. The other experiment was one that might be called the result of the old proverb, necessity is the mother of invention. Because of the unusually early day set for the annual Washington Trip, it was necessary to substitute for the baby day celebration, a baby day party held in the evening. Although this proved a great disappointment to many, still it served its purpose and allowed us 136 to be kids, ond forget our dignity once again. For greatness of skill and deepness of sincerity nothing in our first two years of high school life was as fine as our Junior Play, Seven Keys to Baldpate Each one played his part to the greatest advantage and gave great satisfaction to all who saw it. Last, but not least, came our reception to the seniors. Each person put on his best company manners, and showed his knowledge of the correct way of doing it, thus making the evening one of profound dignity. And so another year passed by. Once again on a September morning the halls of learning were flooded after many weeks of desertion. And once again we find the same group, two years ago mere sophomores, now returning as high and mighty seniors themselves. However, this time in the heart of each person there is some- thing different from the feeling of other years. There is the feeling that never again will he enjoy that first day that holds such mysteries in store. Little by little this ever memorable year dwindles away. First our class party—the Bowery Ball which found each person arrayed in anything that he or she might have found in the attic or cellar. Then our senior play, The Return of Peter Grimm —as the junior play—memorable for its splendid presentation and earnestness on the part of pupils and teachers alike; its running of three nights instead of the usual two with each night a packed house ; the news of $1,000 clear profit to be used toward the expenses of our Washington Trip. The anticipation that preceded the trip; the selection of room-mates; the drawing for a hotel—either Cairo or Lee House; and then the actual trip; an experience looked forward to during our whole school life and one toward which all students work. It is the fitting climax never to be forgotten. Although our high school career has been summed up in these few lines, no one is able to put into words or estimate on paper the enjoyment and satisfaction that each and every graduate has received. And as we look back on the numerous events that have taken place we will be able to say with deep sincerity and gratitude, Thank you, Upper Darby. T H E 19 3 6 137 OAK Class Prophecy THE OAK • 1936 June 12, 1951. Deor Miss Hains: It is exactly fifteen years ago today that our Class of '36 graduated from Upper Darby. So on this memorable day, I believe I should write and tell you what some of our people have been doing since they left their Alma Mater. I ran across Arnold Fletcher one day, but I'm not sure what he's sup- posed to be doing. He's waving some sort of a little red flag around. (He's no bull fighter, either.) When Hope Fisher is not having stories and poems published, she's busy giving lessons to people like Edgar Guest, Temple Bailey, and Kathleen Norris on How to Write in Ten Easy Lessons. After being voted the most popular girl in America, Ann McFadden has settled down and is trying to keep all the Jacks entertained. The other Ann, Ann Parker, just joined a group of midgets in a circus and is having lots of fun flying around on a trapeze. Of course, you read in the paper that Laura Mayer just won the swim- ming championship of the U. S. and is now training for the Olympics. I guess you have seen the opera II iTrovatore. Weren't Ed Nyborg and Mark Dawson wonderful? Of course Mark's manager, Connie, takes very good care of him. Betty Gillies is really having a very hard time trying to teach George Bury's children in grammar school. All they want to do is laugh, joke, and throw stink bombs. You know—like father, like son. Eleanor Tener, Eleanor Dowling and Hazel Stocksdale are in Holly- wood making many box-office hits while Jeanne Evons is making Ethel Barrymore and Sarah Bernhardt look like ham actresses. John Clokey is editor of Esquire' and Miles Blunt is chief model for it. Jeanne Frank is just going along on her merry way having a grand time and making more friends all the time. Helen Matthes and Isabel Myers are on the championship hockey team of America and are on their way to England to take that team over. 138 Peg Royal is still the best giggler around but she does try to stop long enough to give elocution lessons. Helen Mcllvaine and Cynthia Morris are running a beauty shop in New York and next door Bud Kirkpatrick, Ed Carlin and Tom Carr special- ize in hamburgers. Of course Don Hannon and Burton Willis are busy breaking hearts all over the country. Charles Ivers is a G -man, busy chasing gun men and Eddie Camp- bell, who along with Eleanor Graves has one hand in International Affairs while the other steers their floating college. They have chartered the Queen Mary and are showing the world that a college education and travel can be mixed. On the boat. Bill Hall and Jack McMichael are professors of chemistry helping students to blow up the ship, an art they learned from Mr. Kehl! Jean Norman is professoress of French, Janet Davis of English, and Marg Block of Dramatics. Paul Dyke, Knute Rockne the second, has started an elementary school football team composed of Bob Boerner, Jr., Bob Pedrick, Jr., and sev- eral others. And last, but not by any means least, congratulations to Don Snyder upon his recent successful presidential campaign! Of course, there are quite a few people of our Class of '36 that I have not heard from, but naturally some of them are kept busy marrying, divorcing and remarrying, and the rest are all successful in whatever they are doing. If you hear from any of our flock in the future, please write and tell me what they are doing. Perhaps we can have another reunion in the near future and we will all be together then. Just in case you would like to know what I am doing, I am keeping my eye on Hannon and Willis but they never get far ahead of me. Sincerely, Edson C. Strange.

(22) An earlier lunch period for juniors so that they will not go around looking weak from starvation. (23) To the teachers we leave chairs and ashtrays for the boiler room. (24) To the school we give ink for the inkwells and inkwells for the holes in desks. (25) A fund to be used for moving the telephone in Miss Taylor's room down a few inches. (26) To the Nation's Capital we leave the sound advice to turn off the city water supply for the two days next spring that the Class of '37 spend in D. C. (27) To all teachers we leave more blue ink and much less red ink. (28) To all of the closses to follow, we bequeath some of the school and class spirit, which we, the Class of '36, have left behind us. (Signed) THE CLASS OF '36. Witnesses: DONALD SNYDER.

They arrive at the station with excitement and anticipation. Here come Henry Snyder and Jack Matsinger plus their corsages . . . There's Eleanor Tener in red and gray with Betsy Rhodes in blue . . . Enter Miss Mai Ion in a new Easter bonnet . . . Here's our pal, Mr. Strange . . . Look at Uncle Grant Smith cutting school to see Gravy off! . . . There's Del Norte's father with a band (rubber, of course) . . . The booming voice of the train porter All aboard . . . Miss Hains starts for the train . . . Everyone plays follow the leader . . . Doting mothers, fathers, and even grandmothers have come to see us off . . . Final goodbyes . . . We feel as if we are going to be gone a year . . . General mad rush for good seats . . . All aboard . . . Well, here we go . . . Then the march begins. You can't figure out where all the people are going who walk by. . . Then cards come out . . . and pennies run out! . .. Chaperons sit reading papers and casting side long glances at their beloved seniors. Yes! Yes! it surely is a jolly trip. Everyone in the best of spirits, but beginning to feel a little hungry. Andy says we're in Wash- ington, but after a made scramble for bags we find it's only Baltimore . . . Soon we really do arrive and leave our bags on the platform . . . There's George De Jure thanking the engineer for the safe journey and coaxing him to accept a token of their esteem (a cigar). We are not too hungry to notice Union Station . . . appearing like hicks from the country gasping at the immense building. Here we go to lunch, like so many wolves . . . Everything very proper (except those boys who became so warm). Lunch finished . . . Off to the buses . . . now we come to the parting of the ways. There goes Tour B . . . here we go! Seniors are greatly impressed by the Nation's highest court . . . Steinmetzers try to figure out the echo in the Capitol . . . Girls admiring the figures of the wives of the ex-Presidents in the Smithsonian Institute . . . Everyone is disappointed that we don't stay longer in the zoo . . . '36ers awestruck in Mount Saint Alban's Cathedral . . . Weary feet move on to the Fran- ciscan Monastery . . . Then to the Cairo to dress for dinner. How good it is ’to be home . . . Ten of us go up in an elevator built for five ... In the room a coin is flipped, the losers take cots . . . Knock, knock! Dinner THE OAK • 19 3 6 = 144 THE OAK . 1936 ------ THE realization of many years of antici- pation. Although we made the Wash- ington trip unusually early, the weather was fine. The snaps below will be most familiar. Don Snyder placing a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Mr. Strange and his brief case, the Capitol at night—these things will remain in mem- ory. The only complaint we have is that it was all too short. is ready . . . Sixty cents to get your dress pressed so we wear them wrinkled. The master of ceremonies. Bob Wilbur, walks on the floor, The first on the program . , . singing, dancing, a meler-dramer Pennies again come out but now they are thrown to the entertainers, it is worth it. With the familiar spread-eagle gesture the seniors are dismissed. Dancing to the syncopating rhythm of Cab's Orchestra is over . . . Sandwiches, ginger-ale, pickles, potato chips, etc., are bought and taken to the rooms. I never ate so much in all my life . . . I'm not going to sleep all night. Maybe you're not, but I am . . . Sweet music floats through the air. The music goes down and around whoa-ah, oh, oh and Swe-et Ad-a-line. What a sorrowful sight the seniors are next morning, sleepy eyes, dark circles, oh my. They drift into breakfast . . . Into the buses and again we hear the now familiar words On the right we have ... on the left . . . {The Bureau of Engravings, we see tens, hundreds, even thousand dollar bills rapidly coming out of the machines . . . So near but yet so far away . . . The Washington Monument, up and up we go. What a height! . . . The flag is down, the President is out. In the White House we see the Blue Room, Green Room, Red Room, etc . . . Back to the hotel for lunch . . . Out again in the buses and on to Mount Vernon. Ties are straightened, hair is combed and everyone is set for the picture. Click! goes the camera and we are off again on our never tiring feet . . . We go to Arlington Cemetery, quietness reigns for the first time on the trip . . . Into the buses and on to the Lincoln Memorial, our next stop. Here Mother Nature goes back on us, but it was only momentarily. This is the last stop and now back to the Cairo to pack our baggage . . . Time to eat our last meal in Washington. On the buses a long cheer is given for the Cairo and away we speed to the Union Station where we board the train. The whistle blows and we regretfully leave Washington behind us. There are no more thrills, no more excitement, the Upper Darby Seniors have seen Washing- ton. A few of the ambitious ones again walk through the train, play cards, and match pennies but the majority are tired and unwillingly fall asleep. Back to the B. and 0. Station where everybody starts westward to Upper Darby and home . . . The Washington trip is a happy memory. MAY QUEEN AND COURT TOP ROW: Isabel Myers, Ann Porker, Muriel Vanomon, Jeanne Murphy.

This event took place October sixth. Our debut into U. D.'s society column was mode on February sixteenth. Our first donee! Flirtation Walk, with the valentine theme for decorations, pre- pared us for the future! Having recently become juniors, we celebrated U. D.'s victory over Lansdowne with a Victory Dance. The keynote of the donee was novelty from tickets to decorations. Midshipmen furnished the music. Big-Hearted Herbert, a modern farce comedy, was presented in the audi- torium on December sixth and seventh. The class set a new price for play tickets to pupils who bought in advance. The annual St. Patrick's Dance inserted itself. We featured Jack Delmar's orchestra. This dance proved outstanding in many ways. We celebrated Baby Day on March twenty-fifth with dancing and a floor show in one gym and games in the other. This day proved that it is possible for even dignified juniors to defeat Father Time and become as little children. With these activities in the past, let us now go forward! For on June sixth the Junior Reception to the Seniors promises to be the crowning event of our social activities. History of the Class of 38 pARLY September found the Sophomores up on the hill with that satisfied feeling that their goal was finally reached Much to their chagrin they received magazine subscriptions to sell. However, they bore this ordeal manfully and after a successful campaign proceeded with election of officers. One afternoon they found themselves on Memorial Field divided in half, and yelling as loudly as possible. This, they were informed, was a color contest. Soon afterwards they forgot the cares of school in an exclusive sophomore party which received a big turnout. Toward the end of the first semester bewildered sophomores filled the following few weeks with last-minute learning for mid-year examinations. However, they recovered sufficiently to sponsor the annual Valentine Dance, a gala affair. With the Gym Exhibition came weeks of preparation until the night when perspiring gymnasts showed their skill to a sympathetic audience. Great excitement was shown with the arrival of May Day and the crowning of the May Queen Finally, the year was drawn to a close by the Honors Assembly at which deserving students received their just awards.

Displaying a powerful defense, but a yet unperfected offense, the Wolfgang - men drew scoreless ties in their first two encounters. Hitting their winning stride in the third contest the Royalmen out- played their Wilmington foe in every de- partment to defeat the Red Raiders 21 -0. This was followed by an equally impressive victory over Lansdowne, returning the Old Oaken Bucket once more to our trophy case. With a spotless record, and a now polished attack, the P. and G. warriors journeyed to Norristown, only to have their fondest dreams shattered by a powerful Blue and White avalanche. Re- covering the following week, the boys trounced a strong Media eleven 31 -0. only to suffer defeat at the hands of Chelten- ham in their next encounter. Rated an even chance to win, the Royals entered our thirteenth cnnual encounter with Lower Merion, determined to upset the jinx. Playing brilliantly, the Upi-Dah men took the lead 2-0, on a blocked kick in the opening minutes of the game, only to eventually succumb to a driving Ma- roon line and a flashy passing attack. Because of an injury to Captain Dyke in the L. M. game the Upper Darby team was seriously weakened when it came to grips with Haverford in their annual Turkey Day battle. Despite the absence of their colorful captain, the Royals played a beautiful game, gave all they had, but were finally crushed by an accurate Ford passing attack and the brilliant open field running of one Tom Hamilton. But despite the only fair season shown by statistics we will long remember the fine defensive work of Black, Dawson, and Toy, the sterling blocking of Pony Ed- wards. the power of Dyke's line bucks, and the brilliant running of Bruce Faulk- ner; and long after the victories and de- feats of this season have faded with them, the fine courage, the dogged persistence, and the fighting heart of our 1935 Royals will serve as an ever present inspiration to our football men of the future' -THE 162 OAK . 19 3 6 -THE OAK 193 6 THESE views below show some of the ■ color ond glamor of the main fall sport, football.

V. Football DESPITE the poor statistical record the 1935 Jay-Vee team has to offer, Coach Slagle was more than satisfied with the showing which his scrubs made. Playing, in most instances, bigger and more experienced teams, the boys dis- played a fighting spriit which was a credit not only to themselves but to their coach and the school which they represented. Captain Ken Richmond was forced to the sidelines early in the season because of a broken collar bone, but the team was ably led through the major part of the schedule by their veteran right guard and co-captain Fred Bond. Coach Slagle's charges proved unim- pressive in their first four games, but with the advent of the Media game there was born in the team a new spirit, which resulted in an exhibition of smart, color- ful, and brilliant football the remainder of the season. To summarize the season, the sub- Royals dropped all but three contests on their eight game schedule; winning from Darby in their second contest by the score of 6-0, and defeating Yeadon by the same score in their last encounter. The only other score out of the loss column was a mid-season scoreless stalemate with Lans- downe. In addition to the customary J. V. letter, an opportunity for an individual award for merit was opened to the Junior Varsity Team this year, in the form of the Charles McIntyre Award. It is de- signed to ever commemorate the memory of Charles McIntyre, a former J. V. player, who was recently pulled out of the game by the head coach of us all. May the award ever keep alive the mem- ory of a boy whose keen personality and fine courage were an inspiration to all who knew him. Kenneth C Richmond popular co-captain of the 1935 J. V Team, was the first recipient of thi? award.

Sophomore Football DESPITE the fact that it is yet in its infancy, sophomore football is rap- idly becoming a most important extra- curricular activity in Upper Darby. Es- tablished in 1933 for the purpose of train- ing boys for future varsity action, it has not only accomplished its initial purpose but has at the time compiled a most en- viable record. This year's Sophs have topped off the three years of activity by tying two and winning four of the con- tests on their six game schedule, thus bringing to Upper Darby the mythical sophomore football championship. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Brooke, Captain Tom Coulter, and this scrappy bunch of lower classmen for this excellent record which they have com- piled. But it's not all glory! Oh no! The glory, if any, comes at the end--but only after long and tiresome hours of faithful and diligent practice. A great percentage of the boys had had little or no experience in the past, but knowing that they were green material they plugged all the harder—passing, block- ing, kicking, and tackling at every op- portunity, and even staying after prac- tice in order to perfect their weaknesses. And not only were the victories them- selves an enviable accomplishment, but in addition the team continually brought glory to Upper Darby for its clean play and fine sportsmanship! Great work. Sophs; You've done a great job—and we're counting on you in the future! THE . 19 3 6 OAK 165 OAK T H E • 193 6 Varsity Cross Country THE 1935-36 season of the Cross Coun- try team, under the careful supervision of Coaches Strange and Kehl and the able leadership of Captain Kermit Hoff- man, was fairly successful. The team as a whole, after getting off to a bad start, made a good showing in this year's com- petition. While the team will lose three excellent seniors, Hoffman, Cuthbert, and Gaston, there are two juniors, Boyer and Li Hard, and a sophomore, Belyea, with which to start next season. There were seven meets this year, all of which were dual. Several were closely contested and taxed the runners to their utmost. At the end of the season the Suburban Championships were held. In the opening contest of the season, Overbrook triumphed. But the following week favor smiled upon the Royals and they consequently defeated Simon Gratz by seventeen points. They lost at Abing- ton only to retaliate and defeat the Olney harriers by nine points. In the final meet of the season, with the traditional rivals, Lower Merion, the Upper Darby hill and dalers bowed to their superior foe. But the fighting spirit of the team, which had predominated all season, pre- sented itself the following week when they placed fourth in the Suburban Champion- ships which were held on the same course. So closed another chapter of Upper Darby's sports for the 1935-36 season. As was illustrated by their record, the team fought all the way and the final score showed four wins and three losses and fourth in the Suburban Champion- ships.

Junior Varsity Cross Country ALTHOUGH not so successful as the varsity, this year's cross country team did their share of running and scor- ing. As a result they will probably fur- nish a better nucleus for next season's team. Under the careful supervision of Mr. Kehl and because of the good run- ning of all. especially that of Anderson, Bricker and Ljungquist, the Jay Vees did as well as they could on the scoring end. Ray Spencer, a sophomore, is one of the promising younger runners. Captain Nick Roth, who was selected last year, was unable to fill his position because of sick- ness and doctor's orders. Starting their season of five meets, the harriers went to Overbrook and took their worst beating of the season by a strong team to the score of 143 to 80. Low score, of course, wins. In the next meet, which was with Norristown, they perhaps made their best showing when they scored their only victory of the season, 26 to 29. Their hopes highly spirited, were dashed by the following meet in which they were downed by Ridley Township, 46 to 15. Olney was next to defeat the Royals, but only by twelve points, the resulting score being 34 to 22.  The following and final discouragement of the season came in the form of a fine Lower Merion squad which won by the score of 51 to 18. The underlying idea of the team was to season the runners and to give them experience rather than watch the score too closely. T H E 193 6 OAK 167 OAK T H E 19 3 6 Soccer WITH the loss of virtually the entire team, Mr. Milne, with the assist- ance of Mr. Minacci, attempted to build a winning combination out of mediocre material with a nucleus composed of Jenkins and Captain-elect Williams. Mr. Milne expressed precisely the con- dition of the squad, in comparison with other suburban squads, in his quotation in the Acorn, 'The greenest of the green. With the winning of their first three league games, however, indications seemed to point to the annexation of another championship to Upper Darby's already long list of Suburban League Champion- ships. However, with the breaks against them and with the loss of their best de- fense men. Toy and Millicant, the march of victory was halted, after a hard fought battle, by their life long rival. Lower Merion. who subsequently annexed the much fought over championship. Many of the opened positions were filled quite capably by juniors and sopho- mores, who will form quite a large nucleus with which to build up a winning combina- tion. Hopes of bringing back the cham- pionship to Upper Darby will rest upon the shoulders of these veterans. Although having a considerably re- duced schedule, Upper Darby was over- come by three of its non-league opponents, —West Philadelphia, Frankford and Gi- rard College and tied by one, Swarthmore College. In league competition Upper Darby won four, suffered defeat at the hands of two suburban schools, and tied two. With the rapid changing of positions the team finally settled down to finish out the Iatt6r half of its schedule with the line-up as follows: Capt. Bill Wil- liams, outside right, with Jenkins, Mc- Adam, BoGrdman, and Mullineaux making up the forward line; McCrone, Burris and Boyer at half-back; Wackenhut and Thompson at fullback; and Heller in the goal.

OAK T H E 193 6 Varsity Hockey THIS year's hockey team was under the 1 supervision of a new coach, Miss Marian Scott. Miss Scott is a gradu- ate of Upper Darby and now she has re- turned to us. The organized team of this year had three varsity players from last year. They were Marion Lesser, Peg Dougherty and Retta Stranaghan. The season ended with two victories, one tie and five defeats. Even though the team did not have many actual scoring victories this year, the proper spirit pre- vailed, and they always played a brilliant game with plenty of Purple and Gold enthusiasm. The team was headed by Captain Betty Heppe, who played the left- inner position. Captain Heppe proved to be very capable in her position. This year, the honor of high scorer is credited to Marion Lesser, peppy center. There will be six seniors leaving the squad this year. This leaves a remainder of approxi- mately twenty-six juniors and sopho- mores. Coach Scott believes that next year's team should be very promising with twenty-six experienced players for the coming season. The seniors leaving this season are as follows: Captain Betty Heppe, Marion Lesser, Isabel Myers, Retta Stranaghan, Helen Matthes and Ruth Houseman, manager. FIRST ROW: Stranaghan, Stovall, Ycrgcr, Heppe (Copt), McGinnis, Lesser, Motthcs, Dougherty. BACK ROW: Miss Scott, (Coach) Learning, Myers, Dc Bordenovc, Honey, Ent, Walton, Houseman (Manager).

They played the same schools as the first team. The results were one victory, three defeats, and three ties. The second team's morale this year was unusually high. This was due to their Captain, Marjorie Leonard. Marjorie, right- fullback, served on the second team for three years, playing a very good offensive game along with her defensive position. Vivian Moseley had all the qualities of an efficient goalie, despite her shortness. The second team appreciates her efforts in keeping the scores low. Captain Mar- jorie Leonard and Vivian Moseley will be the two seniors leaving. One game, worthy of particular men- tion was the Media game, which Upper Darby won with a score 2-0. In this game the team had plenty of fighting spirit. All the girls on the second team will receive their letters and will go to make up the nucleus for next year's team.

Rifle Team THE season of Upper Darby's rifle team has been fairly successful. Under ■ the training and faithful direction of the coach, Mr. Wood, the team lost two matches and won seven. The team this year has been made up largely of juniors and sopho- mores who have had no previous experience. Because of their excellent records, Mr. Wood has great hopes for next year's season. The senior mem- bers of the team are Vincent Higgins, Edna Campbell, and Virginia Kifferly Much of the team's success is due to the fine cooperation of the cap- tain, Vincent Higgins, and to the efficiency of the manager, Samuel Gundel. Peerhaps a rifle team never labored under more unfavorable conditions that does the Upper Darby team. Anyone who has been on the rifl range may well wonder that the teom does such excellent work. Such a dark, dingy plac is not conducive to the best results. Some day we hope the Royal shooters may rate something better. THE 19 3 6 OAK 173 OAK T H E 193 6 Varsity Basketball STARTING with only one varsity man from last year's team, Coach Goas sent his 1935-36 basketeball team up to unexpected heights. Those of the Var- sity who received their letters were Gas- kill, Schreiber, Snyder, Malsberger, Tracy, Phillips, Townsend, Faulkner, Frey, and Robinson (Mgr.). Ineligibility, because of age, allowed last year's captain, William Spaide, to play in only seven games this season. A new schedule was inaugurated which included a set-up of only one loop game a week per team and permitted each to draw two teams whom they played, but whose scores did not count in league totals. The Royals, not anticipated as con- tenders for Section One title after two league losses in the beginning of the sea- son. found themselves and ended up in second place. The first two league game losses were with Norristown and Lower Merion, probably two of the strongest teams in the league. The next four games, however, were wins which included Lansdowne, Chester, Abington, and Nor- ristown. As usual the second Lower Merion-Upper Darby game proved a thriller and was tied until the last fifteen seconds when Lentz of the Merionites sank a field goal. This game was prob- ably Lower Merion's hardest of the year and showed the power of Upper Darby (especially Snyder who contributed ten points alone) as the Main Liners eventu- ally won District One title. The next six games won by our Cagers (three league games) included Haver ford, Lansdowne, Chester, Radnor, Abington, and Wilming- ton, and placed the Purple and Gold second in Section One. In the Kiwanis Tournament, Upper Darby won from Nether Providence and Haverford but lost to Ridley Park. George Gaskill was chosen captain for 1935-36 team, and Bernie Schreiber was elected for 1936-37. Tracy was congratu- lated as the most surprising player on this year's team.

Perhaps this accounts for their erratic play. They were capable of reaching the most sublime heights or of falling to the most profound depths. They both won from and lost to Norristown and Lower Merion. They could play the varsity off their feet in practice, and then lose a game that was almost a set-up in competition. A number of these boys return next year. It is hoped that the experience they gained will stand them in good stead, and that they will be more confident at the beginning of the season. Coaches Goas and Kehl labored hard and faithfully with these boys. THE OAK • 1936 1 5 OAK 19 3 6 — THE TEN photos of U.

FIRST ROW: Stovol, Motthes, Yerger, MeFadden (Copt.), Porker, Dougherty, Gaskill. Varsity Basketball BUSHELS of praise for this year's squad. They won five games and lost three. The team, most ably captained by Ann MeFadden was faced with a not-so- rosy future at the beginning of the sea- son. Miss Fry, who was to fill the position vacated by Miss Lawrence, was unaccus- tomed to the various methods used by the team in previous seasons. Ann Parker and Ann MeFadden, were the only mem- bers on the squad who had been awarded varsity letters. But with faithful, earnest practice, every night, and a fine spirit of co-operation, the team certainly came through. The high-scorer of the season was Marion Stovall. She was made captain-elect for the next year at the feed given the team by Miss Fry at the end of the basketball season. Both Ann Patrick and Ann Parker are to be congratulated for the splendid co- operation they gave Stovie. The auards, MeFadden. Yerger, Gaskill and Matthes, also deserve praise for the fight they showed in every game. The other mem- bers of the team. Peg Dougherty, Isabel Myers, and Nella Whitaker, by their pep and enthusiasm, proved their worth to the basketball team. The team chose as its most exciting the Lower Merion one. Both teams worked until almost exhausted A minute to go The score was still tied A frantic audi- ence. Calls for just one more. Finally, because of a basket by Stovie, Lower Merion bowed to defeat by a 14-12 score. The game which the team found most disappointing was the one with Lans- downe. They had kept the picture of a glorious success over Lansdowne as a high goal before them since the beginning of the school term. The girls knew that they had an almost championship team, but they went to the game with un- daunted spirits and high hopes At the beginning of the game, the Upper Darby girls succeeded in keeping well ahead of Lansdowne, much to their surprise. But, very soon, much too soon for our qirls, they recovered, and began to click so well, that despite our frenzied efforts the game ended with a score of 37-24. THE OAK • 193 6 177 J. V. Basketball UNDER the captaincy of Kitty Learning, a forword, the second team also fared very well this season. The team was always faithfully escorted everywhere by its mascot, Mickey Mouse. The team put on a good practice daily, and never shirked, even when told to report on holi- days and Friday afternoons. Miss Fry also started something new, but effective, by putting the second team against the varsity The J, V.'s received much help from Mr Milne, Mr. Herzog and the vet- erans of last year's alumni. Most of the games started with Doro- thy Follette and Marjorie Leonard as guards, Helen Walton and Kitty Learning as forwards, and Frannie I redale and Helen Say'or in the center Hilda Van Lew and Clara Taylor usually finished up the game, holding down the rival for- wards with a fighting spirit which was great to see Betty Rutherford and Julia Bernardino, of that famous Bernardino family, formed the perfect jump and side center combination. Patsy Harris played brilliantly in both the position of jump center and that of a guard. Hazel Stocks- dale has improved her eye for baskets by lots of practice, remarkably. Willine Fletcher, a sophomore, surprised everyone with her accuracy of shooting. She looks eligible for Varsity soon if she continues her good work. Much praise is also due to other mem- bers of the team: Elaine Gaskill, Jac- queline Sparks, Virginia Ent, Betty Ann Searles, and Katherine Henderson who gave their earnest co-operation to the rest of the team. This year's second team more than lived up to Miss Fry's expecta- tions. For brilliant playing and perfect sportsmanship, the second team also chose the Lower Merion game as the most excit- ing. It certainly was a thrill to be able to come home to Upper Dorby and say, We won. The score was 12--1I in our favor Miss Fry, in view of all the fine mate- rial she has on hand, expects to coach a championship team during 1936-37.

OAK T H E . 193 6 Swimming Under the oble leadership of its record- setting captain, Burton Parke, the Upper Darby swimming team had a very commendable record, winning eight and losing but two matches, one of which was a non-league meet. Their record enabled them to tie for the championship with Coatesville. The team, in conquering their foes, scored a total of 404 points to their opponents' 340. Burton Parke, in upholding the cap- taincy of the team, earned for himself the title of Eastern Regional Breast Stroke Champion in a meet held at Conwell Hall, Temple University. In the three years that Parke has been participating as a swimmer for U. D. he has set the following records which as yet have not been broken: 220-yard freestyle, time 2:48; 200-yard freestyle, time 2:30; 100-yard breaststroke, time 1:12:13 The team in support of its captain has also broken and tied numerous records In addition to setting these records, Parke has also earned for himself the title of high point man for the year by scoring a total of 105 points. Captain Parke, along with his team- mates, Al. Price, U. D. diver, and the 220- yard reloy teom composed of Cliff Durn- ing, John Crocker, Don Hannan and John Alden earned the privilege of competing in the State meet held at Pennsylvania State College by plocing in the Temple University meet. However, the U. D. rep- resentatives did not triumph, Parke get- ting fifth place and the 200-yard relay team fourth place in their respective events. Next year's team will have a hard struggle in attempting to equal or better the records set by Captain Parke and his teammates. Captain Parke has been succeeded by Captain-elect Al Price, who has rendered valuable aid to the team. His position on the team has shown that he will also make a most voluble captain and member. Al will be expected to lead his team in establishing a record worthy of U. D. recognition. STANDING: DcBordcnavc, DcJurc, Mr. Herzog (Coach), Carlin, Savin (Asst.

The Coach and Captain Mayer had very little material to start the season with as there were only two varsity letter girls remaining from the previous year, the captoin and Eleanor Graves. Vivian Mosely, a senior, and Lillian McCallister, a junior, had a big part in pulling the team on to victory, as did Phyllis Zorn, Nancy Haney, and Peggy Goheen, also juniors. The only sophomores swimming regularly were Peggy Mayer and Dorothy Ann Gruel. The mermaids lost only two of their meets, but in their own eyes the season was an unsuccessful one because they were defeated by their deepest rival, Haverford. At the beginning of the year, Haverford and Upper Darby both had two legs on the trophy. Haverford won the championship title this year, thus retiring the cup. To Miss Scott go laurels for doing the good job of coaching the team that she did. It was her first stab at coaching swimming, as she was new this year and comparatively new at the game. She certainly has all the qualities of a good coach. The second and last meet the girls lost, they still regard as a mistake. They know that they should and could have won the Coatesville meet and still can't figure out why they didn't. At a party that Laura Mayer gave for her team, Lillian McCallister was elected captain for next year. Edythe Riley is going to have quite a job as manager next year, but just follow in Les Fryburg's footsteps, Edythe, and you'll come out on top. To Captain-elect McCallister, we wish the best of luck for next year and we feel sure that, with the help of Miss Scott, she will turn out a championship team THE OAK 181 OAK THE 193 6 ik TANKFUL of Royal mermaids and mermen The boys, captoined by Burtan Parke lower center and the girls led by Laura Mayer right center winning a majority of their meets.

Wrestling FOR the first time since the reorganiz- ing of the sport in 1931, Upper Dorby walked off with its first initial wrestling championship this year, after a two term Cheltenham reign. For their first seven matches leading up to the final contest. Upper Darby and Cheltenham were placed neck and neck, each having gamed seven straight wins over their suburban opponents. This final tussle was held on the Royals' home mat before the largest wrestling throng ever to attend a U. D. match. The highlight of this breath-taking match was of course the much publicized win of Howard Hansel I over Tom Leary, his Cheltenham opponent, in the final heavy- weight contest. At the outset of this all important match the score read, U. D. 14, Cheltenham 12 Coming from behind from almost certain defeat, Hansel used every ounce of strength in his tired body to turn his opponent on his back for a thrill-crazed victory and a U. D championship. For the Royals' first successful season much credit must be given to Coach Geyer and to Lloyd Black and Captain Peter Bernardino. These two stalwart grapplers were tied for high point honors and both emerged victorious as district champions in the 165 and 135 lb classes respectively. Bernie Wenger, lithe 115 pounder, also defeated his opponent in the final matches held at Upper Merion to clinch the title for that division. Other strong armed matmen so instru- mental in bringing U. D its first wrestling championship were Jim Stevenson, 95 lbs.; Jack Edmundson and Kaehne, 105 lbs., Jim Holden, 125 lb class; Russell Fergu- son, 145 lbs., and Tom Ide of the 155 lb division.

Cheerleaders lyJANY a crisis in o football gome, or 1 any other sport, is won because the players on the field know their school- mates are rooting for them. The only way they can tell this is by hearing those cheers ringing out across the field. When a player is taken out of the gome because of an injury it bolsters up his courage to hear the students cheering for him and he is ready to go in and fight again The cheerleaders are a very important factor at a game and many times over have they proved their worth.

D.'s spring teams hove made a showing worthy of comment. With the persistent will of their coaches the teams have been well started on the road to success; however, all of the spring teams do not fall into the success category.

Its conductor has developed a very fine group from his available material. It has become one of the most most well-balanced orchestras of recent years. The organization numbers approximately thirty-five members, but unfortunately it loses a third by graduation. During the post year, the orchestra rendered its usual distinguished service to the school. In addition to giving an assembly program of sacred music, it played for the Junior Play and the Richard Halliburton lecture. A selected group was utilized for the annual operetta, 'The Golden Trail. One of the orchestra's more important ventures of the year was a broad- cast over Station WHAT. There was one exchange program this year, which was with Sharon Hill. The music of the organization has been confined almost exclusively to light overtures and musical comedy selections. Judging from past years, next year's orchestra will be as excellent os those of preceding years. FIRST ROW: Cartlcdgc, E. Tyler, Hike , Bcncckc, Schroder, Fcglcy, Cholfant, Lyman, Knight.

Arthur Archer was the drum major. The band, as usual, furnished the musicol spirit for the football games. It also gave its annual concert in March. Outside competition was again repeated when the band played in the Hallowe'en parade at Sixty-ninth Street.

Therefore, he goes to Baldpate Inn, a resort closed for the winter, to write it. Magee is let into the inn by Elijah Quimby and his wife. They give him a key which is supposedly the only one in existence, but things happen which prove that they were mistaken. First, John Bland appears on the scene. Unlocking the door. Bland enters and deposits some money in the safe Then another person arrives. This is Mary Norton, accompanied by Mrs. Rhodes. Mary says she wishes to cover the story of the bet. Next, Peters arrives. He has a key which he uses to gain admission. While Peters is being questioned, another person appears. It is Myra Thornhill, who has come to get the money left by Bland. In a while Mayor Cargan and Lou Max come to get the money. How- ever, Peters has possession of it. Finally, they get it away from him. Then Thomas Hoyden shows up. Having a key, he unlocks the door and enters. Hayden is surprised to see Cargan and Max, because he thought he had the only key. Cargan had used Bland's key, so when the Owner arrives it is proven that there are really seven keys. The next night Quimby and his wife return and Magee turns over his story as stated in the bet, thus showing that the action between the prologue and the epilogue was a dramatization of Magee's book.

HE annual Senior Ploy, The Return of Peter Grimm by David Belasco, was presented with its usual fine acting and staging The play concerns the return of Peter Grimm ‘after death to straighten out the muddle in which he left his affairs. He had willed his famous tulip business to his ne'er-do-well nephew, Fred- erick, and had by h:s actions and words desired his beautiful ward, Katherine, to marry his nephew, although she was in love with his secretary, James. After death Peter learns that Frederick is the father of the disgraced Anna Marie's child, William; nevertheless, Frederick intends to marry Katherine. He also intends to sell his deceased uncle's business which has been in the family for hun- dreds of years. Peter is not able to communicate with anyone after his death except the young boy William; although he is able to make his presence felt to the others, he cannot convey any message to them telling them to disregard his former wishes. He is able finally through William, who is close to death, to show to his friends a picture of Anna Marie sent by her father to Frederick William discloses that Frederick is his father. The comedy in the ploy is supplied by Rev. and Mrs. Batholommey, who were alwoys solicitous for Mr. Grimm's welfare, hoping when he died to be remembered by substantial grants in his will. They were sadly disappointed, for Mrs. Batholommey received his picture and Rev Batholommey his watch fob. For many, Peter Grimm can return only in the minds of the characters as they think of him, but to a few he will show the theory that a soul after death is able to return to the earth.

Musicians—'38, Herbert Harrison, William Harrison, John Kenney , THE Golden Trail ' a gay musical comedy written by Charles Wakefield Cadman, ■ marks the twelfth successful operetta given by the Dramus Club since its organization in 1925. The story deals with the life in the West during the gold rush days. During the action, a pony express rider vies with Mexican banditry in order to carry out THE OAK • 1936 his job of gold messenger. A rich ronch owner and his party, while traveling, become involved in the picture, the fabulous wealth of the jewelry they carry attracting the unwelcome attentions of the bandits. The arrival of an immigrant train from the East lends color, and some timely shooting by a mountaineer saves the life of the pony express rider. Much of the comedy centers around an eccen- tric tenderfoot from Boston. In the end, however, right is triumphant over might and wedding festivities ring down the curtain. Choral Club THE Choral Club of the high school, under the direction of Mr. Clyde R Dengler, is the largest and one of the best known clubs of the school. The club is composed of 400 voices and includes all students taking chorus. The club made two public appearances this past year. In December a pro- gram of Christmas music was presented. The club was accompanied by the hiqh school orchestra. At the usual Easter concert, The Crucifiction by John Stainer was sung, and the chorus was ossisted by a quartet of artists, accompanied by the Hammond Electric Organ. Both were presented in the Junior High School Auditorium, which was filled to capaci y on both occasions.

Extra-curricular Activities THIS year, as in previous years, the extra-curricular activities played an important part in the school life at Upper Darby The interest in them is very widespread ond the ground covered is equally as large. A great percentage of the students in the school turn their after school minds toward the clubs, publications, or the student government. In all there are twenty-eight recognized activities, not including major sports. There are a few others which have not been recognized by the school and are therefore not included in this discussion. In order to prevent the forming of too many unnecessary clubs, it is imperative that they be recognized by the Student Council. To be recog- nized, a club or any of the activities must first draw up a constitution, which will be considered If the council ratifies the constitution it will THE OAK • 1936 202 - t) PPf THE OAK • 1 9 3 6 then grant a charter, which is a necessary procedure in the forming of any activity. A club or such activity is not formed unless there are enough students wishing to form it, and it must be deemed necessary by the school. The number of activities a person may belong to is not limited, and no one is forced to take port in any; though many have found it profitable to be a member of one or more of the various activities. Many colleges require require that a person wishing to compete for a scholarship must first show some interest in extra-curricular activities; therefore, some schools force their students to join at least one, but Upper Darby does not. As has been stated before, the extra-curricular activities touch upon a variety of subjects, but the twenty-eight different ones can be reduced into about eleven general groups. These general groups are: the school publications, language clubs, the student government, the service clubs, the scientific clubs, the indoor sports, the debating team, the Meistersingers, clubs with outdoor interests, clubs for literature study, and the clubs which OAK Sitting (Lett to right): Arnold, Royol, Groves, Roum, Frank, Editor; Uphousc, Wollick, Kcpncr, Abel.

The clubs, as they are grouped may not be exactly alike, but their underlying principles are somewhat the same. The school publications, consisting of The Oak, The Upi-Dah, and The Acorn, are able this year to boast of one of their most successful years. The Oak because of its future sentimental value usually sells most readily. The staff, lead by Mr. Noel, literary adviser, and Jeanne Frank, editor-in-chief, have attempted to create a book that will long be cherished and remembered. The Upi-Dah, which is issued four times a year, has tried to give aspiring writers and artists a chance ' and has tried also to reflect the different phases of school life. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Gaukrodger, literary adviser, and Ruth Donahue, the editor, the Upi-Dah has reached a new high in high school literature publications.

This year they discussed the possibility of introducing a point system into the school, but it was found unfavorable and was put aside until o later date. The House of Presidents, a body made up of the presidents of the various homerooms, was introduced this year by Mr. Tyson. The object of this group was to try and make homeroom discussions more polotoble. The Tribunal is a group composed of twelve students, four being elected to represent each closs. The purpose of this body is to try disciplinary coses concerning violation of the school's rules and to administer fitting punishment to the offender if found guilty. The next group, the Senior Monitors, are students elected to help guide traffic and encourage proper respect for school laws. There are not so many senior monitors as there are in the other classes, because it was found that was not necessary.

These clubs were organized to promote interest in their respective languages. The program of the German Club consists of German music, folk dancing, and the presentation of plays, all of which add to the interest in the Germans and their country The Latin Club's monthly meetings are made up of humorous plays, trips to points of interest, and interesting talks of Roman life. Le Cercle Francois has attempted through talks, plays, and songs to help its members learn of the arts and customs of France. Its banquet, Le Diner du Capitaine, was the big event of a very active year. In the scientific group, we find the Steinmetz and Leeuwenhoek socie- ties. Though their work may be quite different, their interests in scientific research are equal. The Steinmetz has been of great service to the school by operating its public address system, photography department, and many other interesting projects. The Leeuwenhoek society, which was organized for those interested in studying the microscope, has been of great value in that it repairs and takes charge of all necessary microscopic equipment. THE OAK • 1936 The indoor sports group is made up of the Chess Club, the Fencing Club, and the Table Tennis Club,—three rapidly growing organizations.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the outside, the Chess Club quietly climbed to new heights and prominence by winning o number of matches. The Debating Team, led this year by Captains Wolf and Smythe, and ably coached by Mr. Boyd, is able to boast of one of its most successful seasons. There were no decisions, but from the point of view of interest their showing was excellent. Led by Mr. Dengler, adviser, the Meistersingers had a very interesting and very busy season. Formerly the A Cappella Chorus, the club made many trips to various places to sing besides appearing in the assemblies at school. The trip to New York was the outstanding event of their season. The Chorus has been aided in its work by The Royalmen, a splendid band, composed entirely of Upper Darby students. The clubs with outdoor interest, namely, the Junior Izaack Walton League and the Riding Club, are both comparatively new organizations. The Junior Izaak Walton League's purpose is to help promote conservation THE OAK • 1936 of our natural resources. They help keep streams stocked with fish and game reservations with game. The Riding Club was formed last year for those interested in riding. Under the supervision of Miss Hagenbach, adviser, the members of the club ride every Monday, Wednesday or Friday at the Four Horsemen's Club.

The Ars Poetae and Tay-Wistalvan are two clubs chiefly interested in the study of different types of literature. The purpose of the Ars Poetae is to create a finer appreciation for poetry and a broader knowledge of the lives of the poets. The club has two meetings a month, the first a business meeting and the second for poetry study. The Tay-Wistalvan is an organization to acquaint the girls with good books, plays, and movies; and also, to bring d better understanding among girls interested in such. A number of prominent people have spoken before this group on different occasions. The largest general group consists of the Algetrarca, the History, the Library, the Commerce, and Pleiades Clubs,—five well-known and very active clubs. The Algetrarca, composed of students interested in mathe- matics, was organized six years ago. Programs for this club plan to give its members a broader view of mathematics and to bring out its interesting points. As one of the largest and most successful clubs in the school, the History Club has a membership of over one hundred students. The THE OAK . 1936 THE OAK members are either juniors or seniors who are taking history and who are interested in the subject. Its Annapolis trip in April was the out- standing event of the year. Next, the Library Club, which was established eight years ago. The two main objectives of this group are: to become better acquainted with good books, and to assist in the library In this way the club renders the school a service. The Commerce Club, because of its complete and always interesting programs, is a very popular club among the commercial students. As is customary the club made visits to points of commercial interest. Their banquet in the spring was a gala affair and an outstanding success. Also a large club, the Pleiades has completed its third successful year. Organized three years ago for those students interested in the drama, it has grown rapidly. In its bi-monthly meetings one-act plays are given, thus supplying valuable experience to its members. After reading this discussion, which has pointed out the bosic prin- ciples or ideas of the extra-curricular activities, it is easy to see the important part they play in the school life.
