A dministration and Faculty mem- bers of Upper Darby help stu- dents immeasurably. Like masons constructing a wall, they build, unit by unit, the intricate personality of a student. Through the introduction of stimulating class discussions and creative extra-curricular activities, they continue this building process. When the wall is finished the mason smoothes the rough edges and out- lines the crevices with mortar. In a similar manner, the faculty member develops within the student, traits of initiative, self-confidence, and the acceptance of responsibility. All this work points toward a goal, the be- ginning of college or a business career. Just as a completed wall serves a purpose so does the finished secondary education of the student serve a purpose. The strength of that wall, however, is the supreme test. Will it stand up under its added load? Will it meet the chal- lenge of greater tests? It is at this point that the student silently thanks his teachers for the strong, enduring character and training which they helped him achieve. Experienced . . . . . . Always helping, guiding, . . . . . . Encouraging MY BE ST TO YOU = --- A thrilling new spirit rooted in the completion and dedication of the new buildings surged through Upper Darby students this year. The gymnasium, one of the finest in Pennsylvania, was host to pep rallies, visiting athletic teams, and the Christmas concert. The academic wing, housing the science, commercial, and home economics departments saw real service as students tested its facilities. Both structures herald the interest and foresight of Upper Darby Township. It’s the Talk . . . A . . . Of the Town Music, the universal language, is the theme of the 195,' Oak. We have chosen music because it is so typical of Upper Darby. One cannot walk through the building without hearing the familiar strains of a current tune, a school song, or a melody which has remained popular through the years. As you enjoy the pages of this yearbook, you will under- stand why we feel that music, the unifying force of this book, is also a unifying force of school life. Education — uppermost in the minds of the School Board members—is one of the outstanding features of Upper Darby Township and is one of the chief reasons for the amazing progress of a rapidly growing community. The School Board, responsible for selecting Upper Darby's faculty and providing new buildings and facilities for the ever growing school population, has done a superior job. We students thank the school board for their foresight in giving us teachers who will be understanding and develop within us latent potentialities. We students also thank the board members for the fine new academic wing and gymnasium, recently added to our high school. The elementary school children and their parents also feel as we do. The new Hillcrest school and its addition have been a great boon to their everyday lives. It Wouldn’t Be the Same . . . Superintendent of Schools. Mr. John H Tyson, has for a decade planned facilities for Upper Darby's increasing scho 1 population. The work has not been easy Mr. Tyson carried his hopes and dreams with him through the waning years of the Second World War and through the Korean War until finally, within the past few years, an addition to the high school has been added: the Primos School, the Hillcrest School and an addition have been built: and with the help of the SOO.OOO-dollar Bond Issue, a new fifteen-room elementary school will be constructed in the Westbrook Park area. A new junior high school is also forecast for the future. Mr. Tyson has not lacked experience for this enormous job of planning. He has been active in administrative positions for thirty-four years. Prior to his appointment as superintendent, he was prin- cipal of the Upper Darby Senior High School. The School Board members as pictured at the left are—Sitting: Dr. J.

Villanova College, Temple University, and the University oi Pennsylvania sent future teachers to Upper Darby for practice in instructing classes. The cadets' activities also in- cluded working in the attendance office, taking over study halls, and supervising the infirmary. Sometimes they even devoted extra time to tutoring or speaking to some of UD's clubs. Faculty mem- bers. themselves, received some useful pointers on new methods of teaching from these aspiring teachers. The Upper Darby faculty and students extend their sincere thanks to these student teachers for a job well done and hope that they reach their goal to be successful instructors in their chosen profession. The first semester cadet teachers are shown in the upper left: Row One. Mr. Hodges. Mr. Oppelt; Row Two: Miss Perri, Mrs. Bevins, Miss Wjlfond; Row Three: Miss Gallo. Miss Rizzuto. The second semester cadet teachers are shown in the lower right: Row One: Miss Scott. Miss Kirkpatrick: Row Two: Miss Pasquarielo, Mrs. Ward. Mr. Bartolomeo; Row Three: Mr. Cauz. Mr. Brannan, Mr. Gentile. Mr. Yossa. Just For a While . . . The secretaries, the maintenance crew, and the cafeteria staff play a very important part in oper- ating the school efficiently. The typewriter, symbolic of the secretaries’ hard work, accompanies them as they prepare senior records, answer telephones, and organize printed material for teachers. With quick smiles and pleasant voices, the secretaries answer the sometimes bothersome daily queries of students. The secretaries as pictured at the right arc: Mr- Apple, Mrs. Brockway, Mrs. Tracy. Mrs. Daggett. Mrs. Bevans, Mrs. Malin, Mrs. Paxton, and Mrs. Boyd. Mr. Charles W. Buttcrworth, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds: Mr Frank B. Haskell, Supervisor of Custodians: and Mr. David Lewis. Head Custodian, despite the added responsibility of the new gymnasium and academic wing, have kept the halls, rooms, and campus bright and clean. Shown below is Mr. Buttcrworth talking with Mr. Van Leer Bond, a member of the Upper Darby School Board. The cafeteria staff under the direction this year of Mrs Catherine B. Nichols, deserves much com- mendation for the well-balanced meals served daily and also for their willingness to help at large school dinners. . . . Our Very Own Night and Day This is the one ’Neath the moon And under the sun' Activities, exciting and stimulat- ing, keynote the lives of all Upper Darbians. Press Nights on the Acorn, early morning practices of the Band, and afternoon play rehearsals produce laughter in the halls and smiles on many faces. Through the rush of a last minute story and the momentary tragedy of a broken reed, high spirit pre- vails. Then amid the confusion of forgotten dance steps and misplaced music, the All School Show per- formers strive for perfection. Final- ly, as May Day approaches, the par- ticipants limber up for the day when they will lead their team on to victory . . . Activities set the pace . . . . . . Willingness and cooperation . . . . . . Unbeatable combination NIGH ( JISl J ews . . Thin, reedy sounds of turning pages and exclama' tions of surprise coming from news-hungry Upidites announced the weekly arrival of The Acorn. CD's most widely circulated publication. H.ird work and inspired writing produced this concise, yet complete, seven-day record of school and community events. Each Monday and Tuesday, students found room 210 in a merry-go-round of writing, rewriting, proofreading, and typing, as staff members hurried to meet their deadline. Bob Tobey. editor-in-chief, and Mrs. Anne M. Slick, adviser, headed this fast- moving organization. The entire Acorn staff, shown at the upper left, takes a minute to pose for the camera. At lower left Acorn Editorial Board member' including Barbara Burroughs, advertising manager; Diane Wield, art; Shirley Cullen, features; Frank Alti more, boys' sports; Jane Tilton, copy; Robert Tobey. editor-in-chief; Mr'.

Below it. the art staff also stops momentarily for a picture. 22 . . . Once in a While A top hit at UDHS. the Upi-Dah offered students an opportunity to display creative writing ability in both poetry and prose. The Upi-Dah also main- tained its traditional excellence in the two issues of the publication, both of which featured “Good Castlekeeping” as the theme. Every M nday afternoon staff members met to read, criticise, and select manuscripts for publica- tion. Editor-in-chief Nidra Poller worked hard and long with her assistants Irene Jacob and Harriet Jekofsky to produce a fine piece of work worthy to compete with the best high school magazines in the United States. Jean Failing, art editor, also contributed to the success of the Upi-Dah. Her work on the first issue was superb and the work she did in advertising forthcoming issues was also very well done. Member- f the Upi-Dah staff pictured above are - Row One: Jekofsky, Poller: Row Two: Eccles. Dean. Jacob; Row Three: Perez. Edelman, Brook'-. Row Four: Glass. Gearhart. Delmar; Row Five: Osman, Tannenbaum. Arnold. Smith. Hadley, Remley. Ms- Edith Gaukrodger advised the group. At the right is the art staff under Miss Elizabeth Kingsley's direction. 23 Unforgettable “Will you please turn in your copy!” “Who took the dummy? These were phrases heard around the office at almost any hour of the afternoon, any day of the week, as Oa staff members labored ceaselessly to record the 1952-53 school year. The sixteen senior staff members, beginning in Septem- ber. watched the book grow until their finished product delighted the school and community in June. The staff, under the direction of Mr. Carl Hamsher, adviser, and Joyce Mitchell, editor-in-chief, con- verted a vast amount of raw material into running heads, copy, and pictures. Jean Carter, assistant editor, aided her chief in general administrative duties and Anne Gilbert efficiently supervised the copy desk. Mr. Paul Noel, photography adviser, tirelessly and without complaint arranged for and took all pictures which appear in this book. Staff members pictured below are: Kennedy, Rowell, Phillips. DeGeorge, Newman. Martin. Con- way, McEvoy, Gilbert. Leary, Carter, and Mitchell. To the left, art editor Margaret Chadwick and Lawrence DiFiori look over some work with Miss Elisabeth Kingsley. . . . More Than You Know Publications Business Manager, Sally Lyon, super vised the work of Barbara Burroughs, advertising manager; Barbara Lukens, circulation manager; and Anne McElfresh, Oak Manager. Weekly responsi- bilities included preparing the advertising lay-out for The Acorn and mailing copies of the paper to school officials, alumni, and advertisers. Business staff members also handled the distribution of The Acorn. Oak and Upi'Dah; took charge of all sub- scriptions; and managed all senior pictures. At the upper right.

I Know That You Know Test your IQ against Scott's Hi-Q! was the cry heard in UD's auditorium, December sixteenth, as Upidites once again witnessed the Hi Q team in action. Fred Ackiss. Evan Alderfer, Frank Altimore. and Joyce Mitchell aided leadoff man” Robert Tobey in earning a season's total of eighty-four points in three contests. The first meet yielded thirty-two points for the Purple and Gold. Although Upper Darby placed third behind Haverford and St. James in November, the team redeemed itself in December in a contest with Ridley Township and Upper Chichester. Robert Tobey, high scorer, averaged eleven points per contest. Mr. Paul Coffey, adviser, aided the team members by pointing out helpful study techniques. At the left, team mem hers compete in their December contest. The team, pictured below, is grouped around Mr. Coffey. . . . Knocking on Your Front Door Members of the class of '55 started their first year on the hill by selling a total of 9400 dollars in magazine subscriptions. Stanley Bowers who copped highest honors sold a grand total of 50S dollars. Two other “ace salesmen, Richard Freunlick and Allison Gross, topped the 200 dollar mark. Crowell'Collier and Curtis publishing com- panies rewarded these students with a clock-radio, a wrist watch, and a portable radio. Homerooms 214 and 28 sold the most subscriptions to become the winning home- rooms of the campaign. Although the soph- omores fell short of their 10,000 dollar goal. Miss Chrisman and Mr. Locb, class advisers, agreed that the first class project was an overwhelming success. At the top are the super salesmen. Below them. Mr. Loeb shakes hands with Stanley Bowers.

In staging the revival of To� Can’t TIt With Ton. the senior class produced one of the most sue- cesstul comedies ever presented at Upper Darby. Under the experienced guidance of Miss Frieda Reed and student director. Patricia Connaghan, the actors created many memorable scenes. The audience will long remember Kenneth Neffs “Eet steenks and Madeleine Alexander’s excellent portrayal of Penny Sycamore. Under the direction of Miss Maizie Weil and Suzanne Loux. stage manager, the stage crew constructed an appropriate set and unusual props. Anne Me El fresh and Dolores Temoyan directed the make up crew and Meredith Griesingcr and Sally Lyon headed the costume committee. Scenes from To� Cen t Ta e It With To� are pictured in order at the left and below. To the upper right on the opposite page is the play cast during rehearsal. . . .

Barrie's The Admirable Crichton, the Junior’s choice for their class play, offered dramatic roles to twenty-six aspiring actors and actresses. The comedy, illustrating the crumble of high society as the result of a shipwreck, featured a butler who emerged from the background and displayed complete leadership on a South Pacific Island. Eight major characters provided lively scenes from a fashionable English parlor to a deserted island com- plete with palm trees, grass, and rocks. Miss Frieda Reed, coach of the starlets, and Miss Maisie Weil, technical director, worked closely with Richard Schaefer, stage manager, and Cynthia Dicken and Georgene Miller, student directors. Similar to You Can't Ta e It With You. the success of The Admir- able Crichton was the result of class cooperation in acting, scenery construction, and make-up. 30 . . .

Good musicians, too, have always been characteristic of UD. 1952-5.' followed a similar pattern of outstanding soloists and exceptional concerts. From two hundred fifty voices and thirty schools, Virginia Sease, senior, was chosen soprano soloist for the District Chorus concert at Abington. The other representatives were Judith Gearhart, who als i sang in the State Chorus; Frances Martin: Alice Mandel: Dorothy Thompson: Robert Hast- ing: William Shute; Rolvrt Kennedy: and Howard Morgan. With the exception of Judy, those men- tioned above are pictured at the upper left. Deborah Harkins, Joan Pelly, Maria Malatesta, Elaine Henderson, Charles Harner, and Lee Everett, pictured at the right above, represented Upper Darby in the District Orchestra. Talented and industrious Elaine was also selected for the State Orchestra. Initiating a new idea is not always easy but clarinetist Donald Dement formed the Royallaires, a dance band, which played for dances and assem- blies throughout the year. At the left are the Royal- laires during their Christmas concert. 32 . . . With a Song in My Heart Singing for women's clubs, community churches, and other high schools, constituted a large part of the activities of the A Cappella choir. Members also gave their services to the school when they sang at the dedication of the new gymnasium, at the Memorial Day assembly, and at the Commence' ment exercises. Early in May. the chorus staged its most important production of the year. Brahm's Requiem, which they had been practicing for about five months. The choir also sang a part of the Requiem at Bethlehem on May twenty-eighth. Other activities included a Sunday night program for the Philadelphia USO and a tape recording at the WIP studio. Special music groups functioning within the choir added variety to the repertoire. These groups included the Royal Tones. made up of Barbara Burroughs, Valerie Collins. Jacqueline Delmar, Joan Osman, and Gail Pittinos; arid the Silhou- ettes. Judith Gearhart, Alice Mandel, and Joan Osman. The A Cappella Choir, pictured below, is led by a capable and inspiring director. Dr. Clyde Dengler. Under his direction, the choir sang the favorite compositions of the students: Battle Hymn of the Republic. You'll Never Walk Alone, and the Hallelujah Chorus. JsSIHUI inacui 34 Sav It With Music . . . The four hundred and fifty voice Choral Club under the direction of Dr. Clyde Dengler brought the school and community the works of the great masters. At Christmas and Easter, the chorus thrilled its audiences with outstanding performances of the works of Haydn, Franck, and DuBois. In January, officers Robert Kennedy, Joan Wilkes. Mary Schoenfeld; and Richard Williams led the club in organising its annual “Steel Pier Frolic,” again an outstanding success. 35 Beautiful Music Artistry in Rhythm . . . Correct in knifelike creases, highly polished buttons, and white gloves, the band entertained fans at all football games and pep rallies. Led by Mr. Robert Doane. band members displayed many original routines including interpret tations of “Stairway to the Stars.” “Whiffin’ Poof Song,” and “My Merry Oldsmobile. At all public appearances including the Memorial Day P.irade. the high-stepping majorettes and color guard members accompanied the band. As a reward for their daily diligence in drill and practice, the UD bandsmen received the award of merit for appear- ance at the Annual Cultural Olympics Band Day Festival at Convention Hall in November. The judges also commended them for their excellent carriage, instrument-holding, march tempo, and drummer positions. Besides these activities, the band members, in order to raise money, sponsored a Hallowe'en dance. The Hoot'n Holler Hop,” featuring square dancing. Later in the year, a group of ten members, led by junior. Donald Dement, formed the Royallaires. a dance band, which entertained Upidites at several dances and assembly programs. The picture at the upper left shows the color guard at attention. Below, the band poses in full dress. 36 Music, Music, Music Fifty skilled Upidites, who preferred the sublimity of the symphony to the booming of the band, made up the 1952-53 orchestra, considered one of the best ever assembled at Upper Darby. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Doane. the orchestra appeared in concert at the Christmas and Spring Music Festivals, in assemblies, and as a “pit” orchestra at the All School Show and Commencement ceremonies. A string quintet, the Upi-Strings, played at many official function'. The group included Joan Pelly, Dorothea Twisselman. Jeanette Marple, Elaine Henderson, and Connie Case. The concert mistresses were Joan Pelly and Dorothea Twisselman and the librarians were Shirley Heiselmoyer and Elaine Henderson. Upper Darby's representatives in District Orches- tra were Deborah Harkins, Maria Malatesta, Joan Polly. Dorothea Twisselman, Lee Everett, Charles Harner. and Elaine Henderson. Cello playing Elaine was also chosen to represent Upper Darby in the All-State Orchestra. Pictured at the top is the orchestra in a practice session. Below, the violins and violas rehearse a difficult passage. 37 Dancing in the Dark 38 Cornhusking, St. Patrick’s Day, May Queen’s Court—these were the colorful themes of many UD dances. The Stylers, Frankie Stone, and Upper Darby’s own Royallaires furnished the music for each event. With the junior and senior classes sponsoring two dances apiece and the sophomores contributing a formal dance late in the spring, the calendar of activities provided interest and variety. The ’’Hootin' Holler Hop,” the annual Band dance, and the ’’Shamrock Serenade.” the yearly Hi-Y ince, along with Student Council's after-game tnces supplemented the social schedule.

Another Op’nin . . . 40 Dressed in white and wearing a crown, senior Dorothy Thompson reigned at the ninth annual All School Show presented March sixth and seventh. The show drew large crowds as usual, delighting the audiences, with magic, roller skating, tumbling, and impersonations. Mi s Emma H. Sommerfield again this year quietly and efficiently performed the task of correlating and directing these acts. 41 My Lady Loves to Dance . . . Three hundred students displayed their creative talents to perfection in the two performances of the All School Show. Musical scores, stage settings, and costumes cleverly carried out the toyshop theme. The toys” haunted audiences for weeks afterward with their outstanding and amusing performances. Masters of ceremony, Suzanne Aberlc, Barclay Cale, Ellen Hoffman, Robert Kennedy, and Georgene Miller kept the show moving and the audience laughing throughout the two-hour, thirty- act extravaganza. Upper Darby's championship football team turned their talents from the gridiron to the stage and gave their highly entertaining version of the familiar Mother Goose Tales. Simi- larly, five young women—members of UD's faculty —presented Humpty Dumpty. Continuing the theme of impersonating characters—fictional or real Leroy Snyder effectively imitated the antics of the popular cry singer, Johnny Ray. Going back to Mother Goose, the Rag Dolls, a group of senior girls, combined singing and dancing to the tune of— Oh, I'm Nothing But An Old Rag Doll.” Soloists, Virginia Sease, Alice Mandel, and Judy Gearhart, sustained the theme with excellent renditions of “Toyland,” “The Wedding of the Painted Dolls,” and Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Climaxing the show.

The all-star review held a high place in the 1952-53 program of events. We Will Always Bow in Homage . . . Promoting good sportsmanship arid active school spirit, the 1952-53 Purple and Gold Contests were both challenging and exciting. Seniors. Joan Wilkes and Del Park; juniors. Marta Meo and William Scott: and sophomores Donald Campana and Judith Clancy headed the Purple team. Their Gold oppon- ents were seniors. Nancy Challis and Richard Hughes; juniors, Virginia Burkholder and William Heverly; and sophomores, Arlene Cherrie and Richard Harding. The Purples took the lead early in the fall when they won the Athletic Association and publication campaigns, the Songs and Cheers contest, and the soccer game. The Golds, however, not liking defeat, won the hockey, cross-country, and rifle contests. What was true in these matches was true through- out the year -the teams were so equally divided in respect to ability that spirit and team support usually decided the winner. During the late winter, the Purple team sold many more Tag Day tickets but the Gold team 44 . . . To the Purple and the Gold soundly whipped the Purples in wrestling, girls' basketball and boys' basketball. Later, Eugene Berman, senior Gold, spelled his way to highest honors in the traditional spelling bee. The public speaking contest, following the spelling bee. also became a Gold victory with the help of seniors Stanley Hardwick. Howard Morgan, and Sterling Williamson. When May Day came, the Golds led the Purples by the slim margin of ten points. Relay races, pie- eating contests, the tug-of-war and the gymnastic drill, demanded the best from individual team mem- bers. Finally, the team which had totaled the most points throughout the year and on May Day received the coveted faculty cup.

Virginia “Ginger Vincent, and her court of ten - Nancy Angulo, Shirley Cullen, Nora Daldy, Marjorie Dawkins, Suzanne Loux, Sally Lyon, Joyce Mitchell, Anna Nicola, Anita Porreca, and Ann Jane Rowell. Chosen in mid-April, the queen and her court were elected on the basis of attractive- ness, personality, and service to the school. For thirty years, May Day has been an outstanding tradition—a yearly event filled with all the color and school spirit possible. This year, with the blossoming woods pro- viding a background and the rigid color teams flanking them on either side, the queen and her court reigned supreme. The day's events included the customary drill, games, and contests. The ceremonies, how- ever. bore special meaning for the seniors— it was their class which shone so brightly and would never shine again. Because of this feeling, the day took a special place in the hearty of Qftf'er Darhians. Sweeter Than the Roses in May The members of the May Queen’s Court pictured on this page top to bottom in each ot the four rows are: Suzanne Loux, Sally Lyon. Anna Nicola, Ann Jane R well. Shirley Cullen, Nancy Angulo, Anita Porreca, Joyce Mitchell. Mariora- D.iwkms. and N V Daldy. Have you ever eaten a piece of pie so fast you thought you would choke? Have you over run a relay race so quickly that you thought you would surely hum a hole in your shoe and the track? Have you ever cheered for your teammates until your muscles ached and your throat felt as if it were torn to shreds? That's the wonderful feeling that comes from suffering and straining for your own side—the winning side. This year, the 195? May Day ceremonies were a repeat performance of all the pageantry and spirit filling them since 1927. The straight, rigid lines of the color teams marching onto the field and passing in review, however, brought to mind all too sharply that a few thousand miles away hundreds of young men were doing the same thing —but not for a May Day The crowning of the queen climaxed the opening solemnities and the Maypole dances added their own touch of interest. In the Merry Month of May . . . The awarding of the banner to the winning drill team brought simultaneous shouts and groans from the spectators. The beginning of the novelty races produced intense expectation as team after team challenged one another for badly needed points. Some fell as they hurried to place the blocks: others stumbled forward as, shrouded in old clothes and a paper bag, they tried gallantly to jump across the held. Others with hands behind their backs gulped pie in one last effort to claim victory. As the after noon wore on it still was not clear which team would finally win. Unsure onlookers argued as to the out- come—some almost wanting to participate them- selves. Finally, as the sun began to sink and the crowds began to drift, workmen descended upon the field removing debris and the now vacant throne, ending . May Day as thrilling as any before it. . . .

Spectators O and active participants alike en- joy the intramural games as well as the varsity contests. Through the fall, winter, and spring, individual team members endeavor to uphold the proud record of Upper Darby in interscholastic athletics. This year, football and cross country, both with undefeated seasons, have won the admiration of the school and the community. Skillfully coached and ably captained, the hockey, basketball, tennis, and track teams have also completed excep- tional seasons. Playing or cheering enthusiastically, everyone realizes that sports unlock the door to true cooperation, lively competition, and clean, hard play. A day on a schedule . . . ... A face in the stands . . . . . . Last play of the season BODY AND SOUL Vivacious Anita Porreca captained the 1952-5.' squad and added zest and sparkle to the perform- ances of her companions. With bubbling enthusiasm, the royal pepsters led cheering sports fans during the football and basketball seasons. Without the loyal support of the cheerleaders, Upper Darby teams could not have made such outstanding records. Students will never forget their spirited yell producers, who were always on hand to lead them at athletic contests, pep rallies, and Purple and Gold frays. Mr. Charles Brooke of the history depart- ment, coach and adviser, and Sue Aberle, manager, supplied the squad equipment and planned the 52 Rhythm cheering schedule. In the spring, faculty members chose Barbara Smith, Gretchen Berguido, and San- dra Saha to wear the Purple and Gold for the following two years.

Hoorah for UD.” yelled hundreds of rooters as they watched the Royal gridmen complete the first unbeaten, untied football season in the history of Upper Darby High School. Critics ranked tins superb team in fifth place among high school teams of the state of Pennsyl- vania, and second in the Eastern area. The boys triumphed over Lancaster and Ridley Township for the first time in the series with each of these schools. Although doomed to defeat, Bartram, Overbrook, and Bok made their initial appearance on the 52 schedule. The Royals also stopped Chester. Ridley Township, and Abington each of whom was undefeated going into the game. Closing the season in a blaze of glory, the 1952 edition of the UD gridmachine trounced an outclassed Haverford eleven 46-12. At the close of the season the football fathers honored their sons by staging a banquet and presenting them with individual life-like plaques which each senior proudly displays. Members of the championship team received many awards and honors. Chike Heverly and Bob Reynolds, honorary captains, guided the team both offensively and defensively. Dominic Aurillo, declared “most valuable, led the parade of stars. His ability earned him positions pv j on the all-scholastic, all;Delaware? .county 'teams. Skip Ellision, named m st popular kccw|3 a trbphy' for his outstanding performance in the Turkey Day tilt. Climax- ing the season, Dave Lichtenfeld received the Maxwell Club Award.

The leadership and experience of coach Vir- ginia Middleton were invaluable as this year’s team got off to an excellent start by winning its first game and tying the next two. It is a record to be proud of, since the only veteran varsity player was captain Marjorie Dawkins. The Lansdowne and Haverford games claimed honors for the two most exciting matches of the season. Although Lans- downe overcame the Hockeyettes, the girls showed their winning spirit by defeating the Fords. Team- mates elected two “most valuable players’’- Joan Herzog, goalie, and Dionc Statzcll, fullback. As a comic climax to the season, the girls defeated the cross country team in a hockey game.

Lower Merion, Havcrford, Norristown, Abington, and Cheltenham fell victims to Upper Darby. Chester being the only team to prevent them from receiving another perfect score.

With a line varsity team and a skilled junior varsity, the Millermen needed only to keep up their training and their winning spirit. They started the season by defeating Chester. In this meet Homer Weaver took first place, a position that he maintained in every meet during the season. By dc' feating Haverford, Upper Darby captured the Miller-Strange trophy. Later. Lower Morion fell at the feet of the harriers. Upper Darby turned in a perfect score in the Norristown meet, downed Abington, and in the last race of the season, the “hill and dalers defeated Cheltenham. In the Dis- trict Meet, Upper Darby reigned victorious for the third year. Homer Weaver came in first. Tom Mahoney fourth. Dick Thomas sixth, David Greene twelfth, and Perry Weed fourteenth. After winning the District Meet, the Royals traveled to Pennsyl- vania State College to run in the State Meet. They placed third, ranking among the top teams of Pennsylvania. ... All the Way Home Dick Thomas, astounding coaches by his outstand' ing running, received the most valuable runner award. Toni Mahoney also surprised the coaches when he became the third 195. winner of the Novice Race.

With muscle and brawn, UD's grapplers wrestled their way to the Suburban I League co-champion' ship with Lower Morion and Cheltenham. The mat- men began the league matches with a heartbreaking loss to Lower Merion. After bouncing back to upset the powerful Cheltenham team for the outstanding performance of the year, the wrestlers ended a successful season with seven straight wins. Team members gave much credit for an outstanding sea- son to coach Peter Bernardino and co-captains Edward Graham and Richard Padula. These two stalwart grapplers ended the year as district champions. The Suburban League coaches chose Padula the Most Valuable Wrestler. Ed Graham, tenacious 127 pounder, unscored upon in league matches, pinned his opponent in the regional meet. For Ed’s outstanding record and leadership ability, his teammates chose him Most Valuable Wrestler. Arthur McCall, lithe 103 pounder, completed his third year of varsity wrestling and defeated each fc4 Varsity Wrestling opponent except state champion, McHugh, of Cheltenham. Artie fought to a 6-6 tic with McHugh at the district tournament but lost the decision on time advantage. McCall copped third place in the regional? by defeating his opponent 6-0. Heavy- weights Robert Adeliszi and Robert Henn proved a valuable asset to the team. Both grapplers wrestled their way to second place in the districts and third place in the regionals, along with 138 pounder, George O'Connell.

During the following weeks beautiful passes and precision plays produced victories over Lansdownc, Yeadon. Swarthmore, and Springfield. At the season's end, Havcrford High School remained the only opponent to have defeated Upper Darby's stellar team.

Off and On Every year Upper Darby pauses to reflect upon its outstanding athletic teams. This year the Oa records these pauses pictorially. At the right is the swimming team which brought honor to UD when it captured second place in the P1AA meet. The girls arc Joan McKenzie, Carol Shaw. Virginia Burkholder, Jill Grazer, and Jackie Robbins. Carol excelled in the fifty yard freestyle, Jackie in the fifty yard breast stroke, and Jill in the fifty yard backstroke. At the lower left, the coach of Upper Darby's powerful football team presents the honor- ary co-captains Charles Heverly and Robert Reynolds, with trophies. The trophies were well deserved since these boys provided the spark that gave UD an undefeated season. At the lower right, Patricia Caterson and Janet Roderick examine a target. The girls, co-captains of the championship rifle team, won first and second places respectively in the Southeastern District Pennsylvania meet. Upper Darby also remembers its intramural teams - soccer, basketball, volleyball, and softball. These teams contributed greatly to the enjoyment of leisure high school life and the development of the par- ticipating student. 83 After Hours After everyone else has gone They stay on working . . . ” Oervice organizations and clubs round out the extracurricular life of Upper Darby students. The Student Council, the Hi-Y’s, and the service clubs keep their members busy aiding school administrators and helping with school functions. Ushering at concerts, serving at sports banquets, or setting up pro- jectors for classroom movies are only a few of the infinite tasks carried out quickly and efficiently by these groups. Service, however, is not the only facet of the extra- curricular program . . . pleasure also plays a big part. The German club, Hippocrates, F. T. A., and Na- tional Thespians meet monthly to discuss topics of special interest and plan for future meetings. Whether service club or pleasure club, each organization fills a niche in the life of a student. Serving . . . helping . . . . . . Realizing the enjoyment . . . . . . That comes from working AFTE R HOURS OfFiOflx Truthfully . . . Student Council Channeled through the Student Council, the '“voice of the little man spoke out. Hardworking committeemen and chairmen converted suggestions to workable realities. Providing refreshments at football games, sponsoring after-game dances during the basketball season, and arousing school patriotism through pep rallies and the sale of UD book covers, hats, and pennants also occupied the time of council members. In the fall, councilmcn collected clothing in a successful drive to help the needy at home and abroad. Three times during the year, delegates, chosen because of their service and honor, represented UD at the Philadelphia Suburban Council Association meetings. From these conferences. Upper Darby learned how to better student- faculty relationships and the qualities constituting the ideal council. Officers Richard Hirsch, president: Norig Ellison and Robert Adelissi, vice-presidents; Ann Jane Roweil, secretary; Arthur McCall, treasurer, and John Schumacher, sergeant-at-arms, worked with Mrs. Edna Danehower, Miss E. Lucille Noble, and Mr. Ralph Andersen, advisers. At the top is the full council including first and second semester members. On the opposite page at the top, Richard Hirsch leads a discussion.

The Upper Darby chapter, under the direction of Miss Edith Gaukrodger, has completed it' twenty sixth year of service to the school and community. Whether on duty at the information desk or in the high school office, ushering at concert' or assisting at May Day, the Hi Y Girls’ question is always a cheery. “May I help you?” The girls also undertook projects for the Childrens' Heart Hospital besides aiding underpriviledged families and collecting donations for charitable organisations. The entire organization is pictured above. The lower left picture was taken during the junior initiation tea. The picture at lower right shows officers Nancy Angulo, president: Nora Daldy, vice-president (not shown): Dorothy Thompson, secretary; and Jane Tilton, treas- urer. with Miss Gaukrodger. At Your Beck . . . 88 . . . and Call Boys' Hi Y Because of their interest and enthusiasm, members of the Boys' Hi Y successfully executed the tasks assigned them. Like the girls, the boys served both the school and community, ushering at football games, the Loyal Royal Boosters' sports banquets, and the All School Show. Members also helped the Red Cross in setting up equipment tor the local blood bank. On the eve of the Thanksgiving Day football game. UD's Hi-Y held a joint meeting with Haverford's club in an attempt to promote good sportsmanship on the gridiron. In March, “the wearing of the green formed the theme for the Shamrock Serenade,” Hi-Y's contribution to Upper Darby's social calendar.

Their other activities included interesting field trips to nearby hospitals and dairy farms and a tea with Haverford's club at Christmas time. Shirley B.iuers. president, worked with Mrs. Mae Pusey, school nurse and club adviser. The club members are pictured above. Library Service, persistence, diligence, and efficiency character- ized the UDHS Library Club members. Stamping, check ing. renewing, and shelving books gave club members val- uable experience for future library work. Play, however, supplanted work when club members laid aside their books to plan picnics, parties, and wiener roasts. Under the direction of Barbara Hinkle, president, and Miss Ruth Bassett, adviser, the club completed another busy year with its annual Mother and Daughter tea. The Library Club members are pictured below. it intmi . . . to Watch Over Me Leaders' Group An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” explains the purpose of the Leaders’ Group. The 126 members, although not serving as monitors, exert influence on their fellow students through good example and tactful speech. A committee consisting of the class advisers, stu- dent leaders, and Mr. Ralph Andersen select candidates for group membership. A trip to the United Nations to view leadership on an international level was the out- standing event of the year. Senior members of the Leaders’ Group are pictured above with Mr. Andersen. Visual Aids The hum of the reel and the click-clack of film accom- panied the Visual Aids club members as they carried out their tasks quickly and efficiently.

At a meeting of UD's Mother's Group Troupe 1000 also presented Good Will Toward Men and one act from What Every Woman Knows. Jack. and the Beanstalk, presented in December for the enjoyment of Upper Darby's elementary school students, proved to be the highlight cf the year. The success of all productions depended not only on the quality of the acting but also on the stage crew, which worked untiringly to complete scenery and stage technicalities. The make-up and costume committees, too, contributed their share. Suzanne Loux piloted the society formed for aspiring actors and actresses and those interested in working behind the scenes. Other officers who contributed their time and leadership ability included Madeline Alexander, vice-presi- dent; Suzanne Aberle, secretary: Tanya Lineberry and Virginia Vincent, treasurers; Sally Lyon, clerk; and Robert Kennedy, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Freida Reed and Miss Maizie Weil were the able advisers. Grouped at the top is the entire troupe.

'Classes, the backbone of Upper Darby High School, participate enthusiastically in activities, sports, and clubs. From the classroom to the athletic fields, cooperation and a willingness to produce the best, stand out. United, the classes repre- sent the true spirit of UD; divided, they are wonderful competitive or- ganizations, rivaling each other for top honors in scholarship and ath- letic prowess. Led by capable officers and advisers, each class finds its way through the magazine campaign, the class plays and dances, and recog- nition of its outstanding members. With the school as a stage, each class comes and goes .. . sophomore, junior, senior . . . Striving for perfection . . . . . . Trying to excel . . . . . . Each class rises THE FUTURE Din o ?i Very Good Advice . . . Miss Charlotte Chrisman and Mr. Fred Loeb. sophomore class advisers, worked hard and long to plan assembly programs, supervise class activities, and untangle the roster and personality problems of their students. Time and again one heard the heart- ening remark, Yes, I'll be here this afternoon. I'll be glad to talk that matter over with you. As a result, adjustment to high school life became much easier for the sophomores. Working in close cooperation with their advisers officers Richard Harding, president; Barclay Cale, vice-president; Donald Mawson, treasurer; and Judith Wells, secretary, also displayed their talent and capability in other phases of school life. Dick demonstrated his athletic skill on the varsity basket- ball team. Displaying a keen sense of humor. Barclay acted as one of the masters of ceremonies in the All Schi ol Show, while Don had the distinction of being the only sophomore to score a touchdown in the ‘52 football season. Judy contributed interest and enthusiasm to the cheerleading squad and the National Thespian Troupe. 104 . . . Getting to Know You The ‘55 Executive Committee, the governing body of the sophomore class, planned all the activi- ties in which the class, as a unit, took part. These activities included weekly assembly programs, the sophomore party, and the formal dance, the Coro- nation Cotillion. Class president Richard Harding presided over the weekly meetings with help of the other class officers. Assisting the officers were repre sentatives from the homerooms. The biggest item on the sophomore calendar was the dance in May at which the May Queen and her court were guests of honor. Next t the dance, the nominating of sopho- more girls as candidates for the All School Show Queen presented a problem as well as a challenge. This year the girls chosen were Lorna Ringler, a dancer, and Chris Fiori. a singer. Experiencing their first year “on the hill. the executive members particularly enjoyed their first real chance for class government. The advisers for this group were Miss Christman and Mr.Lock 105 Younger Than Springtime . . . On this and the following three pages arc the pictures of the sophomore homerooms.

During the day. Miss Mowry teaches English and public speaking, and during the evenings, when she is not absorbed in class projects or correcting papers, the theater holds a strong attraction for her. Mr. Kchl. ' 4's other adviser, teaches chemistry, takes care of the stockroom, and helps out in the attendance office during school hours at Upper Darby. In the evenings, he instructs at Drexel Insti- tute. Together, the advisers planned assemblies, served on the guidance board, interviewed parents, and handled the many problems of their “flock.” Both Miss Mowry and Mr. Kchl were assisted greatly by the willing and able class officers: John Craft, president; Virginia Burkholder, vice-presi- dent; Phyllis Ball, secretary; and Richard Moon, treasurer. Carole Huber acted as class historian. Making arrangements for assembly programs and the party, play, and dance occupied the time of no . . . Together junior executive committee members during 1952 53. Sub-committees were also formed to help accomplish the group's work more efficiently. The Harvest Moon Ball, the juniors' contribution to UD's social life, was a successful venture and featured an autumn mural. The Junior committeemen also planned their junior-senior reception late in the Spring, at which the class played host to the gradu- ating seniors. In February, on the basis of outstand- ing vocal talent, the committee selected Joan Mackenzie and Yvonne Rodin as the junior con- testants for the Queen of the All School Show. The committee, this year, also supervised the collection of ads and recruiting of reporters for the junior issues of the Acorn. John Craft presided over the weekly meetings with the assistance of Phyllis Ball, secretary and Richard Moon, treasurer. Virginia Burkholder, vice president, conducted these meetings in the absence of John. Miss Helen Mowry and Mr. William Kehl, '54's advisers helped the officers and committee to solve pressing problems. Ml Somebody Else Homeroom is an essential part of the daily school routine. Although it requires only fifteen minutes during the day. it is very important. It is there that students, upon entering high school, form their first new friends and do that “last minute studying.

Richard Padula, president: Norig Ellison, vice- president: Suzanne Loux, secretary; and Robert Henn, treasurer; led the class of 195.' through a trying hut successful year- its last— on the hill. The officers and individual members remember vividly the fleet high school years—now so full of memories—the football games, the magazine cam- paign. the dances, the student council meetings and Hi Y initiations, the junior and senior plays- and best «'i all. the Senior Final. These years have meant very much to every mem- ber of the senior class. Their academic work and extra-curricular activities have helped them to develop interests in different fields and to further their preparation for the college or business world ahead. The seniors remember, particularly, their teachers who have guided and directed them through these years of new responsibilities and obligations. They are proud to have had. as their instructors, men and women who have, encouraged them to put faith in themselves and to rely on their own capa- bilities The seniors are also proud to claim Upper Darby as their alma mater and hope that it will hold as much meaning for classes following them. h r rJ- . . . Faithfully Yours With the arrival of autumn and the election of homeroom committeemen, the senior executive com- mittee began its year's work of steering the class of Organizing, coordinating, and regulating the activities of the senior class, the execs pre- sented two nominees for Queen of the All School Show and named and planned class parties and dances. The committee also arranged for interesting and educational assembly programs including the Yeadon High School a cappella choir, Alberta North and her auto harp, and programs given by organiza- tions within the school. In March, the Oa}{ consulted the executive members on the conduct of the Who's Who election and followed their advice closely. Toward the end of the year, the volume of bu i- ness increased steadily until at the beginning of May, the members were weighted down with sug- gestions of prom keys and photographers for th: Senior Final, plans for Memorial Day. and the send- ing of invitations for the Senior Party. The group worked under the guidance of Mr. Noel and M Julia Miller. cla- advisers. M7 The Sunshine of Your Smile . . . Whether conducting discussions in his English classes or ad-libbing in assembly, Mr. Noel has proved his wonderful ability for putting people at ease. As many know, his sense of humor and his merry laugh can make “drudgery seem like a fine art. Often seen at 8:15 scuttling back and forth with his camera, he made the halls ring with the familiar words: A little to the left. Betty, or Closer together, please.” Mr. Noel resides in Drexel Hill with his charming wife and daughter, and despite his numerous school duties, finds time to remain active in the functions of his church. At the left, Mr. Noel talks with the senior class president, Richard Padula. 118 . . . All the Things You Are A friend indeed is a phrase that can well be applied to Miss Julia Miller, senior class adviser. Early in the morning students see her going quietly, hut efficiently, about her numerous tasks. She never seems too busy, however, to stop for a friendly moment of conversation or for a word of encourage- ment. Her quick smile and dancing eyes reflect her genuine interest in people and their problems. A- a result, she is not only popular with the seniors but with the girls and boys whom she meets in her other classes. Through her gentle guidance and tireless efforts in many activities, she has endeared herself to the cl.t” of 195 .v At the right M:- Miller watches while her students sample their cooking. It Had To Be You . . . Nora Daldy, Robert Tobey, Marjeanne Collins, Barbara Dacbcler. Barbara Burroughs, and Mary Jane Hunter, in that order. (Pictured right to left.) were the top six seniors in scholarship. Because of their scholastic achievement during their four year high school career, their names were engraved on the scholarship plaque- a permanent record for the eyes of future classes. These six were not just students five of them participated actively in the extra-curricular program. Nora was a three letter winner in sports; Bob edited the Acorn; Marjeanne was girls' sports editor of the newspaper: Barbara Daebeler was assistant advertising manager of pub- lications; and Barbara Burroughs managed all advertising for The Acorn, Oak. and Upi-Dtth. The four members of the class who merited the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth rankings were Shirley Cullen, Joyce Mitchell, Martha Morgan, and Lynne Church. These ten are to be commended for their attainment in a time when education is of utmost importance especially education which trains one for leadership in a troubled world. 120 A Excellence in publications, athletics, clubs, service organizations, and class committees was the basis for the selection of the 1955 Service Award winners. The graduating class bestowed this honor upon six classmates—three boys and three girls who in their judgment contributed the most in maintaining and raising the standards of the school and class. Their service was not solicited but given willingly. Administrators, teachers, and students could always be assured of a helping hand from these six, when and wherever needed. Although each recipient of the award participated in a wide range of activities, each budgeted his time in giving the best of his talents, equally, to every organization of which he was a member. It was with pride that the class of 1953 honored Richard Padula, Nora Daldy. Paul Ballora, Joyce Mitchell, Norig Ellison, and Suzanne Loux and inscribed their names on the service plaque as an inspiration to future students of the Upper Darby Senior High School. . . .
