Much of the credit for this is due the members of our School Board. These citizens serve without pay and often without thanks to provide new buildings, modern facilities and superior teachers for our thousands of school children. The Board has done far more than keep our system abreast of the modern trends in education. Three new members joined the Board this year, Dr. Harlan F. Haines, Mr. H. Kimble Hicks, and Dr. G. Wright Hoffman. The death of Mr. Horace Berman, who had contributed so much to the work of the board, was a serious loss to the whole community. A new Junior High School, an industrial arts wing for our school, and the Westbrook Park Elementary School constitute the Board’s building plans for the near future. MINUTE IN MEMORY OF HORACE BERMAN Adopted by the Upper Darby School Board The passing of Horace Berman on December 5, 1953, was a stunning blow to us who knew him around our Board tabic. His genial warmth and friendliness, his youthful enthusiasm, his sense of balance and proportion endeared him to all of us. He had the ability to plunge to the core of a situation, sift out the hard facts, and deal with these facts in a clear, logical, honest manner. He could be critical yet was never unkind in his criticism. Whenever there was a service to perform Horace Berman was there, ready and willing to see the task to its conclusion. He gave freely of himself to others and was devoted to his home and family. Horace Berman has not gone from us. His influence will live on in our schools, in our community, and in our hearts. Ttcenly tudent teachers helped us, too . . . Mr. Seidel instructs a class in Business Arithmetic. Mr. Wright gives personal help to students of a Sophomore English class. Upper Darby school administrative leaders cooperated again this year with the Schools of Education of four local colleges. Drcxel Institute, Temple University. Villa- nova University, and the University of Pennsylvania sent student teachers to gain experience in our classes. These young men and women observed and taught, often taking over classes completely in the absence of the regular instructor. In addition to classroom duties, the cadet teachers filled other important positions. They manned study halls and worked in the attendance office, library and infirmary. While helping with our instruction they too were learning. It is hoped that in years to come they will look back on their semester spent here with only pleasant memories. Certainly everyone of us wishes them success in the future. First Row: R. Herman, B. Sachsc. E. Watts, L. Rosenbaum, J. ;irst Row: E. Choate, N. Kurz, S. Gurst. Second Row: P. Carlucci, McNicholas.

Standing: Mrs. Elinor Brockway, Mr . Dorothy Skillen. Students were not the only ones who worked hard at their desks all day. Our efficient secretarial staff came earlier and stayed later than most students. The secretaries took dictation, answered telephones, made appointments, organized printed matter for teachers, and did many other essential jobs. Mrs. Margaret Boyd, who is in charge of the main office, was well known to many students. Her friendly, sincere manner made her a favorite with the Hi-Y girls who assisted her in the office. Miss Reed, secretary to Mr. Holmes, aided seniors by sending out transcripts for college admission—an almost unending job. Mrs. Brockway and Mrs. Skillen greeted all who entered Dr. Nancarrows office. Mrs. Thelma Malin worked in the attendance office. Whether working at a mimeographing machine, typing a letter, filing a report card, sorting mail, or taking a telephone message, the secretaries were an essential part of the smooth functioning of the school. Miss Rccd, Mr. Holmes’s secretary, worked long hours preparing senior records for the many colleges. Mrs. Boyd, in charge of the main office, worked efficiently with a smile and a cheery hello” for all. behind the scenes . . . MR. CHARLES BUTTERWORTH MR. CHARLES CORNELL MR. DAVID LEWIS The cafeteria and maintenance staffs played an important part in our school life. The maintenance crew kept our school clean and in good repair. Mr. Charles W. Butterworth, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and Mr. David Lewis, head custodian, supervised their staff which went into full operation after most of us had gone home. The job of the main tenance crew is not limited to the school building itself but includes keeping our campus neat and lovely. The cafeteria staff, under the direction of Mrs. Catherine B. Nichols, not only prepared our meals daily but also provided excellent menus for special dinners and banquets. When lunch time came each day the lines may have been long, but the wait was well worthwhile. The combined efforts of these two efficient staffs helped fulfill the high standards for which U.D. is known and which we all appreciated.

This plaintive yet forceful cry permeated the Acorn office every Monday and Tuesday night at five o'clock when last minute stories were due to meet the typists' deadlines. Sometime later, between eight and twelve o'clock, the last editor straggled out of Room 211. This was not done, however, without a doublebarreled assault on stories to be rewritten, dummy sheets to be laid out, headlines to be filled, and other necessities of a top-notch high school publication. Capably advised by Mrs. Anne M. Slick, The Acorn was published in twenty- eight issues by and for the students of Upper Darby High School. In addition to the apparent enthusiasm on the part of students and teachers, evidenced every Friday when the four or six-page newspaper came out, contest judges rated The Acorn among the top publications in the nation. In the Columbia Press Association judging. The Acorn rated a first place in the country-wide competition. The Acorn also ranked first in the PSPA judging, where it garnered 988 points of a possible 1000. The Acorn scored another success when it. with other UD publications, sponsored the PSPA Southeastern Regional Press Conference at Upper Darby on May 6th, 1954. As a UD activity.

The members of the OAK photographic staff—John Leatherman, Mr. Carl Hamsher, advisor; and Ben Harriman. “Get that copy in on time! ’ “Did you count your words?” “Check the spelling.” These words are familiar to all Oak staff members as are the duties of identifying unknown fellow students, recording classmates’ many, many activities, and stretching those fifty words to the one hundred and fifty required. The staff of nineteen senior members saw a few ideas and some diagrams, with the addition of copy, running heads, pictures, and drawings, become a true record of 1953-54 life at Upper Darby. The staff was under the supervision of Mr. Paul K. Noel, advisor, and Ellen Dixon, editor, during the many hours of work from September until June. Wilma Bulkin, assistant editor, aided her editor in every way. Betty Hugo handled copy details efficiently and meticulously. Mr. Carl M. Hamsher, photographic advisor, and his student assistants, Ben Harriman and John Leatherman, carried out the mammoth job of photography. In accordance with the Oak’s theme of united effort, the literary staff worked closely with the art staff, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Kingsley and its editor, Peg Ewing, to produce the desired results in the 1954 Oak.

The January edition of the Upi-Dah, Upper Darby's semi-annual magazine, illustrated the modernistic theme of television. This literary magazine, which was initiated in 1916, is the oldest U.D.H.S. publication. The Upi-Dah gives students a chance to express their talents as they depict high school life through original stories, essays, poems, and art work. Many of the manuscripts are contributed by students who arc not members of the literary staff. In each issue, four seniors who have been outstanding in their work, arc honored in the Fidelis section. The Upi-Dah is under the faculty supervision of Miss Edith Gaukrodgcr and art supervision of Miss Elizabeth Kingsley. Every Monday night the literary staff, directed by Harriet Jckofsky, editor, and Jacqueline Perez, assistant editor, met to read, discuss, criticize, and select manuscripts to be used for publication. The contri- butions of the art editor, Carol Whiteley, and those of her staff added greatly to the success of this year’s magazines.

Each week they took charge of the distribution of the Acorn and other publication details. In addition to these weekly duties, the staff members supervised the handling of all senior pictures and the distribution of the Upi'Dah and Oak. Under the direction of Clayton K. Shenk, the faculty advisor, the twenty'Six girls did a notable job in making the publications department run smoothly. Much of the success of the three publications was due to the business manager, Pat Mitchell, and her managing staff. The staff included Merle Holden, advertising manager; Ellen Hoffman, circulation manager; Lois Adam. Oak manager; and Claudette Devine, assistant advertising manager. One of the most familiar phrases that could be heard coming from Room 4 was, “We have to get more subscriptions or publications will stop!” Although the Business Staff had limited funds, careful management produced three successful publications for U.D.

The sight of ink on his hands, the smell of turpentine and oil paint in the air, the hearing of the command. “Get it in on time!'', and the feeling of pride for work published—these arc the reactions that stimulate the senses of a member of the Publications Art Staffs. All illustrations for the Upi'Dah were selected on a competitive basis. Members of the Oak Art Staff received assignments for their topics. The cartoons in the Acorn were done by Walt Benedict and Art Editor Bud Keane exclusively. Peggy Ewing headed the Oak Art Staff and Carol Whitcley, Upi'Dah. All art work published was passed by Miss Kingsley, advisor to all staffs. Final judgment of the artists work came only after the publications were circulated and the school voiced its opinion.

D.’s three publications can be credited to the hard-working, nimble-fingered girls of the Publications Typing Staff. This group is probably one of the most active and least publicized groups in the school. On Monday and Tuesday nights. Acorn press nights, a few girls could be seen traveling from the typing room in the new wing up to the Acorn office on the second floor of the main building, and returning after securing copy to be typed. The staff was composed of twenty girls; ten met on Monday after school and ten on Tuesday. Two shifts of typists were used each night. The five girls on the early shift worked until 4:15 when the second shift came on and stayed sometimes until 7 o’clock in order to type all the copy. Miss Lucretia Kerr, supervisor, was ably assisted by Jo Ann Newton, president; Rosamund Centola, secretary; and Pat Litle, manager. The officers remained both nights to distribute the work that was to be done. The Typing Staff also accepted copy from the Oak and Upi'Dah. First Row: R. Centola, secretary; P- Litle, manager; J. A.

Student Council could be called the cross-section of the school. Members of each class, from every homeroom, arc elected to serve their fellow students as a voice in school government. Council had an unusual year with the intro- duction of several new ideas, the major one being the all- school election of the president. Music was provided for listening pleasure during lunch, and a dance was staged after the annual Tag Day games. In the regular line of duty, councilmen worked hard providing refreshments at the foot- ball games, sponsoring after-basketball game dances, and selling sweatshirts and decals. They collected a record- breaking ton of clothes for the Clothes For Korea drive. A good-wall and welcoming committee was formed to send cards to the sick and help new students adjust to school life. For the first time, a special student group went before the faculty to explain the aim and work of the Student Council and to promote better student-faculty relationships. The Council chose Vice-President, Boh Hughes; Sec- retary. Joan Uric; Treasurer, Frances Arutfo; and Sergeant- at-Arms, Jack Terres to serve with President, Carl Meyer. The helpful advisors were Mrs. Edna Danehower, Miss E. Lucile Noble, and Mr. Ralph Andersen. Thirty-two lepresented us all . . . EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Sealed: Mr. Ralph Andersen, L. Hoshabjian, M.

U.D. students enjoy an after basketball game dance sponsored by the Council. For the first time in fifteen years, the Student Council was host to forty guest schools of the Philadelphia Sub' urban Student Council Association for the February meeting. The Inter-School Relations Committee worked hard formu- lating the plans, and councilmen carried them out with the result of a most delightful and unique mectiing. The purpose of these meetings, held three times annually, is to gain and share ideas for the betterment of Student Councils. Four topics of this nature were discussed by the representatives of the forty-one schools. While students were at their meetings, faculty advisors met to discuss their many problems.

This year all applications for the group were made in the form of letters, which were read and re-read by the faculty advisor, Mr. Andersen before Leaders were chosen. To continue membership all leaders had to maintain a high standard of scholarship. The Leaders in our school performed many duties throughout the year. Each leader was required to serve an average of one hour per week while school was in session. Leaders directed the use of stair- ways at lunch time and helped to clear the halls before and after school. This year the Leaders' Group took its annual trip to Washington, D. C. The seventy-six members who went decided that the Lincoln Memorial was truly the most impressive sight. The Leaders, upon returning home, agreed that the trip was highly profitable and that they gained a knowledge of leadership on a national basis.

Mind against circumstance — that is what the Hi-Q team practiced this year. The four man team, competing in a round robin tournament with twenty suburban schools, finished in fourth place with a final score of eighty-three points. Four boys, Don Dement, Glenn Fisher, Alan Teubner and Dick Schafer, backed lead off man, Dick Christman, during the fast moving quiz programs. Bob Part- ridge aided the team as alternate, while Mr. Paul Coffey capably coached. The boys worked their way through some very formidable competition and were not far behind the leading teams. The contest, sponsored by the Scott Paper Com- pany. was based on the reactions of student con- testants to all kinds of subject matter from the protagonist of a novel to chemical formulae and algebraic equations. Each school team took part in three contests. Though the team did not place this year, it hit an apex of knowledge toward which all U.D. students might profitably aim.

Professor Fred Gladeck, assisted by Walt Benedict and Barbara Mick, applied his scientific knowledge to an intricate time machine and the result was a gala array of all school talent. Von Snitzel, alias Gladeck, demonstrated his scictv tific marvel to interviewing reporters Ellen Hoffman, Dick Maddock, and Georgcnc Miller. Sailors, pilgrims, twirlers, magicians, cowboys, skaters, minstrel mammies, and many other participants performed their routines to exemplify the theme Through the Years. The extravaganza was presided over by Harriet White, Miss Upidoll of 19‘ 4. Harriet's dancing and singing capabilities won for her the coveted title of Miss Upidoll in the festive show. Miss Upidoll made her entrance in the finale through the time machine. The annual talent show was capably directed by Miss Emma Sommerfield of the science department, assisted by Mr. Robert A. Doane of the music department. Many con' gratulations wore to be extended to the crew, headed by Fred Norris, who worked expertly behind the scenes. The scenery was provided by the art department under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Kingsley.

Lofgren....................Francis Van Hce Once upon a time there was a six foot one-and-one-half-inch rabbit. All of us remember him in the senior play “Harvey” by Mary Chase. On November 13 and 14 we all laughed at the antics of Elwood P. Dowd and his invisible pal, the white rabbit, Harvey. To add to the humor, Vcta Louise Simmons, Elwood’s sister, and her daughter. Myrtle Mac, attempted to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. Miss Ruth Kelly, the nurse, and Dr. Lyman Sander- son. both of the sanitarium, in addition to having to cope with the rabbit, had to appease the dignified Dr. William Chumley and straighten out romantic difficulties. By the end of the evening the audience, along with the cast, were joyfully seeing the unusual rabbit. The success of “Harvey” was the result of careful planning and skillful directing by Miss Frieda E. Reed and student director Georgene Miller. Under the direction of Miss Maizie G. Weil and Richard Schafer, stage manager, the stage crew constructed very realistic sets. The make-up committee, headed by Wilma Bulkin, and the costume committee, headed by Phyllis Ball, added to the quality of the production. We will always remember the enjoyment that Harvey and his pals brought to us in those few hours. Forty The Juniors presented . . . Armor and hobby sox were a combination that could be seen at many of the rehearsals of the Junior Class production of Joan of Lorraine. The play is a play within a play written by Maxwell Anderson. The basic story is that of a simple peasant girl who hears voices, which tell her to light for her country, France, and in doing so she be- comes a martyr. In real life Mary Grey, the actress who plays Joan, has many argu- ments with the director, Mr. Masters, to add to the plot. Under the leadership of Miss Frieda Reed, director, and Alan Brody, assistant director, the cast learned the many tricks of acting. The ability of George Caruso, stage manager; Janet Hornberger and Barbara DeGeorge, costume chairmen; and Dorothea Bcvilacqua, make-up chairman; plus class co-operation provided the spark to make the Junior Play the success that it was.

It is composed of two divisions, the A” choir and the “B” choir. Both these groups were selected from many members of the choral club who tried out last year. Highlighting the A Cappella's year were coil' certs for Yeadon, Norristown, and Lower Merion high schools. A Cappella “A was also honored by being invited to sing at the dedication of the Coni' munity “Y” building in March. Another big pro- gram done by the “A” choir was the singing at the opening of the new building of the First Federal Bank, a program which was televised. This program financed a trip to New York for the choir. The members of the A Cappella who went to District Chorus this year were Bob Christophersen, president of the chorus, and Alan Tcubner, presi' dent of the “A” choir. Other officers are Claire deKrafft, vice-president; Nancy Chapman, secretary; and Bill Wilson, treasurer. Saving the best until last, thanks go to Dr. Clyde Dengler for a wonderful year of choral work, an achievement due to his inspiring and enthusiastic direction. Firtt Row: C. Macatsoris, R.

Harmony . . . “If music be the food of life, play on.” Such was the life of the U. D. representatives in the South' eastern District Orchestra. Those chosen from the tryouts held in late February were Carol Wagner and Deborah Harkins, violin; Richard Tasca, clarinet; and Donald Spencer, French horn. U. D. was host to the District Orchestra concert, which was held in April, under the direction of William Smith, assistant conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Each representative received a certificate for participating in this concert. All district first' chair players, according to their musicianship, were eligible for the State Orchestra. Don Dement, president of the band and leader of the Royallaires, was honored by being chosen for both District and State Band. Another credit to Don’s musicianship was the organization of U. D.’s popular dance band, the Royallaires. The Royallaires, led by Don on clarinet and saxophone, now boast thirteen members and a vocalist, Chris Fiore. Though only two years old, the group has played in assemblies, at Student Council dances, the Sports’ Banquets, the Community Y dedication, the All'School Show, and the band dance. This popularity shows that Upper Darby is really behind this new musical organization. District Orchestra members Don Spencer, Dick Tasca, Don West, Carol Wagner, and Deborah Harkins.

Doanc, appeared at many class assemblies as well as performing at their own spring music concert, Royal Serenade, presented with the Junior High musical organizations. Dorothea Twissilman served as concert mistress. A violin quartet from the organization including Dorothea Twissilman, Carol Wagner, Maria Malatesta, and Deborah Harkins entertained Upidites at the annual Alb School Show. The tunes of such varied pieces as Serenade to a Lemonade, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Overture to The Messiah arc remembered by all members. Another thing familiar to the group was Mr. Doane's favorite phrase, “An orchestra is only as good as its weakest player. The success which this group attained may be gained only through a united effort, with each artist doing his or her best to benefit the whole.

Early in the year, band members braved the chilly autumn mornings to practice their formations for the sports season ahead. The band intensified Upper Darby's school spirit at all football games and pep rallies. Band members, sporting new spats, led by Mr. Robert Doane, displayed many original routines including interpretations of “Wait Til the Sun Shines, Nellie. “Mr. Touchdown, U.S.A.,” and “Blue Moon. The majorettes and the members of the color guard accompanied the band at all of their community appearances, one of which was the Memorial Day parade. In addition to appearing in the Christmas concert, assemblies, and their own concert, “The Royal Serenade,” band members found time to sponsor the popular Halloween dance, Dragnet Drag.” Among the civic activities of the band was their participation in the opening of Delaware County's new Community “Y.” Officers of this organization arc Donald Dement, president; George Barrett, vice-presi- dent; and Ruth Caldwell, secretary-treasurer. The choral club of ’53'’54 was one that will long be remembered. Every Wednesday and Friday morning dub members could be heard practicing for their concerts in the auditorium. During the year the chorus performed in two programs, the Christmas and Easter concerts. Although it was often times difficult to arrive at school on time for eight-fifteen rehearsals, the success of the two concerts proved that hard work, inconvenience, and concentration really pay. The club was under the excellent direction of Dr. Clyde R. Dengler, who was greatly respected by everyone. Club members will always remember his favorite expressions which he used at rehearsals and in class. In addition to the two concerts, the club sponsored the annual Steel Pier Frolic in January. The club officers. Bob Christophcrsen, president; Tom Rutter, vice-president; Fred Williams, treasurer; and Charlotte Rizzo, secretary, handled the details making the affair a success.

Through fhc year the purple and gold teams battled for supremacy in their race for the coveted banner which was finally awarded at the close of May Day exercises. Leading up to this moment, contests were held in every field of school activity. The long series began in the fall with the A.A. campaign, and the thrilling Songs and Cheers contest, captured by the Golds. During the year Upidites competed in every type of event from cross country to typing, publications to rifle. The Golds were ahead well into the winter. Tag Day was one of the highlights of the year where the color wrestling matches and the girls' and boys’ basketball games were held. Purples were joyous that night after capturing unforetold victories in both basketball games. In the spelling contest, Dick Tasca became Purples hero as he hurdled many difficult words to become school spelling champ. Purple was again victorious in the exciting public speaking contest held in Junior Assembly to nearly tie the score. Many weeks before May Day, practice began on the never-to-be-forgotten gym drill. Sore backs and stiff muscles only added to the spirit of competition. May Day was a fitting climax to the year, where the drill was executed with precision. Following an afternoon of games with the scores rising, the judges presented the long awaited banner to the exuberant winning team.

Cinderella, presented in December for the enjoyment of Upper Darby's elementary school students, was a big hit. The success of all productions depended not only on actors but also on the stage crew, which worked untiringly to complete scenery and produce the desired stage effects.

As the school year progressed everyone at one time or another saw the Hi-Y girls in action, either ushering at a concert, serving at a banquet, or just working in the school building itself. Wherever it might have been, their service was characterized by a friendly smile. Hi-Y girls, selected on the basis of scholarship, service, and character, willingly served their school and community. Led by Phyllis Ball, president; Ellen Dixon, vice president; Ellen Hoffman, secretary; and Wilma Bulkin, treasurer, the group carried out its fully packed schedule of activities highlighted by College Daze, this year's annual Hi-Y dance.

The club was sponsored by Mrs. Helen Abrams, who was assisted this year by Ellen Hoffman, president; Claudette Devine, vice-president; Phyllis Ball, treasurer; and Mary Lou Smith, secretary. WORLD AFFAIRS FORUM The World Affairs Forum participated in numer- ous activities this year which gave its members a greater understanding of the world situation. The club elected as its leaders for the year Richard Schcnkel, president; Edward DeLuca, vice-president; Dorothy Twisselman, secretary; and Lynn Tanen- baum, treasurer. W.A.F. met every other Thursday to discuss current political problems under the guidance of Mr. Paul Coffey. One of the many projects undertaken by the club was the Mock Congress at Temple University. Dick Shenkcl represented the group at the Junior Town Meeting program on station KYW. The club sponsored the United Nations test given to high school students as well as participating in a Mock Day in the United Nations. These students, by studying the problems of the world today, will be more able to help bring about a world of peace in the future. Teacher from local grade schools discuss problems with F.T.A. club members.

RIFLE CLUB Rifle club members were seen in the long dark room above Room 217 every day from September until some time in December. In December the team, made up of the best marksmen in the club, took over the range. Then in May the club returned to the range again. The club was sponsored by Mr. Charles Wood and was led by Jack Schmidt, the president, who holds the National Junior Champion- ship for firing in the sitting position. The main function of this club was to give students with an interest in rifles a chance to learn and practice. Some of the busiest days of the club's year were spent in teaching the new sophomores the funda- mentals and rules of safety for the range. As a reward for hard work through the year, the club held its annual picnic in the spring. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Distributive Education is perhaps one of the most important clubs offered at Upper Darby. Each day the group met in Room 52, under the faculty in- struction of Mr. Joseph Rhile. The work in D.E. consisted of fifteen hours of class work and a minimum of fifteen hours of supervised employment per week. Besides class work the club took field trips to The Commercial Museum, to an Acme warehouse, and to the Campbell Soup Company, to mention just a few. Distributive Education gave seniors an opportunity to get some practical experi- ence in the “business world before graduation. The club elected Edythe Ruth as its president at the beginning of the year. The group added to the D.E. possessions a diplay case, which was used for demonstration purposes.

Classes competed to DUO FOR HE DOUGH ake a great school Our class advisors WILLIAM S. KEHL Test tubes bubbling, Bunsen burners flaming, water running— these arc the circumstances under which many seniors met Mr. William S. Kehl, their class advisor. The students of his nursing and accelerated chemistry classes will always remember his quiet humor and understanding patience. As class advisor, Mr. Kehl took charge of all the financial matters involved in running the class of 54 and handled the arranging of its assemblies. Between his various attend- ance office duties and those of stockroom clerk. Mr. Kehl found ample time to talk over problems with perplexed students, always with deep sincerity. Aside from his many tasks here at school he teaches at Drexel Institute of Technology’s Night School and is the lay minister of the Bethlehem Evangelical Reform Church. ,ave encouragement and guidance . . . HELEN M. MOWRY This year 'the cheerful Senior office became a home away from home for many seniors. Any item from a cookie for a starved member of a class committee, to a place to take a catnap before tennis practice was provided by this friendly, sincere Senior class advisor. Miss Helen M. Mowry. When not teaching her English and public speaking classes here at Upper Darby or a night school class at Brown Prepara- tory School, Miss Mowry was usually seen scurrying here and there on class business. Among her innumerable tasks were the counting of class ballots, the ordering of caps and gowns, and the supervision of class dance, party, and play committees. However. Miss Mowry will not be remembered as a supervisor or speaking teacher, but as a friend. While working at her desk in the Sr. Office, Mis Mowry greet Miss Mowry begins one of her public speaking classes. all with a friendly smile. The class’s choice John Craft, president; Phyllis Ball, secretary; Don Jost, vice-president; Carole Huber, his- torian, and Dick Moon, treasurer. Five faithful officers led the class of '54 through all activities and events during its three big years at U. D. John Craft, president, spent innumerable hours behind the scenes preparing for dances, parties, and assemblies. Don Jost. elected vice president for the first time in his senior year, took charge of all assemblies. Phyllis Ball, who was paid the tribute of being unanimously elected secretary in her senior year, was ever ready to serve her class. Dick Moon kept the books in top financial shape as treasurer. Carole Huber, elected to the post of historian in her sophomore year, kept an accurate record of all class activities in the class scrapbook. These people, rating high in both scholarship and extra-curricular work, have done their best to make this class a record-breaking one. Three years have passed so quickly since the first day when as “green” sophomores the seniors began the long trek from the bottom to the top. It will be hard to forget the football games, dances, color contests, and plays. A feeling of belonging grew from the many activities offered to each student. A way to make school life happier and more enjoyable went into every action, every thought. The step from high school to college or business is a big one, but three years of preparation have made many steps steadier and firmer. Our teachers and advisors have brought assurance and confidence to every student, and these are deeply appreciated by all. Graduation is made easier by the knowledge that the school “on the hill” is left in capable and loving hands. Had initiative and drive First Row: G. Lecher, Y. Rodin, C. Huber, J. Craft, D.

With the beginning of the school year, the gov- erning body of the Senior Class went to work with zeal and enthusiasm. The Executive Committee had one objective—to help the class to become a more closely-knit group, working as a whole. With the class officers and advisors, members from each homeroom met every Monday morning to discuss the matters that were pertinent to their class. Since this group controlled the financial matters of the class, the planning of dances, parties, and plays was a part of its agenda. A record amount of advertisements for the play program were obtained under the supervision of the committee. Another of the projects undertaken by the members was the selling of personal name cards to the graduating students. They also nominated two girls, Harriet White and Yvonne Rodin, as contestants for the title of Miss Upidoll in the All-School Show, planned all assemblies, and collected class dues. Toward the end of the year, work on the Mothers' Group party and the Senior Final began, with invitations to be sent and dance bands to be secured. With graduation drawing near, arrangements had to be made for caps and gowns. The Senior year was a busy one handled efficiently by the Execu- tives. A vote of gratitude goes to these people who did their best to guide the class to the top in '54. UPhDAH Members of the class of 54 . . .

Moon, Phyllis Ball. The Class of 1954 honors the six members who have achieved the highest record in scholarship and the six members who have contributed the most in service during their three years at our school. Service and scholarship are two assets useful in building character strong enough to meet the challenge which the world of tomorrow will present. Phyllis Ball, class secretary; John Craft, class president; Ellen Dixon. Oak editor; Donald Jost, class vice-president; Margaret Mitchell, business manager; and Richard Moon, class treasurer arc the students whose names are being placed on the Serv- ice Award plaque in the main hall. However, these students, who led in publications and in their class did not limit their devoted, hard work to one field, but also participated in athletics, class activities, service organizations, musical groups, and student government. Those honored for excellence in scholarship arc Margaret Mitchell, Ellen Dixon, Wilma Bulkin, Harriet Jekofsky, Richard Schafer, and Donald Rice. Scholarship was only a part of the achieve- ment of these students who ranked at the head of their class. They too gave service to thir school by contributing of their time unsparingly to publica- tions, athletics, dramatics, musical organizations, class activities, student government, and service organizations. It is with honor that the senior class presents these outstanding students with the Scholarship and Service Awards of 1954. Scholarship Award Winners: Richard Schafer, Harriet Jekofsky. Margaret Mitchell, Wilma Bulkin, Ellen Dixon, Donald Rice. The class of ’55 . . . MR. FRED R. LOEB MISS CHARLOTTE S. CHRISMAN The class of ’55 was fortunate in having Miss Charlotte Chrisman, of the French department, and Mr. Fred Loeb, of the Physical Education depart- ment as its popular and able advisors. These two people willingly united their efforts to plan for assemblies, offer guidance to all, interview parents, and handle the many problems that confront class advisors each new day. The advisors were greatly assisted by the conscientious and capable class officers: Richard Harding, president: Ray Windle. vice-president: Judy Wells, secretary; and Donald Mawson, treasurer. All the officers were engaged in extra-curricular activities. The '5? executive committee worked busily to plan the many activities in which the class participated. Much time was spent making arrangements for assembly programs, planning the play and the junior dance. “Fall Frolic, which lived up to their greatest expecta- tions. The executives were assisted by subcommittees that helped carry out the group's work more effi- ciently. The Junior-Senior Reception, a main event on the social calendar, was a gay and successful affair. The two nominees for Queen of the All- School Show.

Opp. 0 Lower Mcrion 5 Radnor 3 Havcrford 3 1 1 Yeadon 0 Norristown 1 Swarthmore 2 The Royal Sticksters, under the able coaching of Miss Dorothy Schumann, closed their season with a fair record in view of the fact that they had only two returning varsity letter winners, Ruth Stallsmith, captain, and Mary Lou Natale. In their first four games the varsity eleven tied one and lost three; but by defeating the previously undefeated Lansdownc team, the U. D. hockcyettcs broke their losing streak. After tying the next two games, the team brought the season to a close in fine style by trouncing Swarthmore, an unbeaten team until that game. Only five girls of a starting line-up of eleven arc graduating, making prospects look bright for next year's team. Ruth Stallstnifh, captain, warms up for a game.

As Miss Marilyn Hughes explained at the annual fall sports banquet, her main objective as J.V. hockey coach was to give a maximum number of girls game experience in preparation for next year's season. The Junior Varsity carried three complete teams, with a newly elected captain each game. The proof of this system for training will show in the '55 win and loss column. Mrs. Dorothy Reminger acted as coach of the all sophomore third and fourth hockey teams. Because of the experience gained this year, these girls will greatly aid hockey teams in the next two years.

Each boy was given as much experience as possible through practice with the varsity, fre- quent substitutions during games, and different captains for each skirmish. Coach Stamus said that although U. D. lost the Abington tilt, the J.V. men played their best of the season in that game. Bolstered by men from the J.V., next year's varsity should present a formidable front to all opponents.

Handicapped by the fact that only sixty boys re' ported for football practice at the beginning of the season and just four of those letter winners, Coach Arthur Pursdl faced the problem of giving his gridmen the practice necessary to capture victories for U.D. Inexperienced Bob Campanero had to be trained for the empty quarterback slot. Under the leadership of Joe Tate and Carl Meyer, co-captains, and Bill Heverly, most valuable player, the Purple and Gold men recorded four wins, four losses, and one tie. The highlight of the season came when the Royals trounced Chester, who was undefeated going into the game and picked to be the Suburban A League champions. In this game Joe Tate was chosen Lineman of the Week by the Delaware County Coaches Association for his excellent performance on the playing field. In one of the most thrilling games of the season the team tied a very tough Lower Merion eleven.

This year the eleven pepsters also cheered at the girls home hockey and basketball contests. Barbara Hodges did a fine job managing the team as well as cheering on the squad. The vivacious girls were an asset in every way at all interscholastic competitions.

Upper Darby ended with a 14-2 record, one of the best records ever made by the Royals. The Royals swamped every team until they met Lower Merion, but bounced right back into the win column by downing Abington. Their other defeat was at the hands of Chester, and U. D. returned the blow with some to spare in a thrilling, fan-raising game to end the season in a blaze of glory. Co-operation, willingness to win, and fight were the keys to victory over champion Chester, as they had been all season, to merit U. D. second place in the league.

To add to that, U.D.'s grapplers came up with several injuries and a shortage of heavyweights; but spurred on by George O'Connell and Bill Heverly, co-captains, the muscle men defeated Lansdownc to become the District I champs with a record of eight wins and one defeat. Their only defeat came at the hands of the Hill School wrestlers, who were defending champs of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This was a non-league meet. Four Royals qualified for the district finals, and of these Charlie Pistorio, George O'Connell, and Bob Cornley went on to compete for the Regional Championship. Out of these three, Charlie Pistorio, better known as “Pistol, quali- fied to enter the state finals at Pennsylvania State University. Charlie is only the third wrestler in the history of U.D. wrestling to enter the State Finals. He won in the prelimi- naries and semi-finals to place second in the 95-pound class.

One of the highlights of the season was the outstanding victory over Haverford. The meet was at home and Haverford was held down for a final score of 33-18. The Fords were able to pin only three U.D. men while Bob Wagg, Dave Green, Tom Pasquareilo, Jim McLaughlin, Tim Potter, and Alan Hunstman, six jayvee Royals, pinned their opponents. With a big gap left in the varsity team, due to the graduation of many valuable seniors, the jayvees will be called upon to uphold the fine records set in previous years.

This is a mild way to describe Upper Darby's sensational rifle team. Their record in interschool meets is unmarred by defeat. The team turned in four perfect scores out of eight regional meets, and dropped the Southeastern State championship by only one point. In the individual championship meet for Southeastern Pennsylvania, two Upigals, Sue Masterman and Beverly Brassington, captured second and third places respectively. The team also boasted another champ in individual meets—Jack Schmidt, who holds the National Sitting record. The letter-winners were Sue Masterman, captain.

Bob Campanaro, Carl Meyer, Don Meyer, and Ed Sevastio, the team’s top hitters came through to make the score 6-0. “Campy” was elected to captain the 1954 team.

The junior varsity baseball team spent many hours in practice this year hoping to improve their skill in order to gain a position on the '55 varsity team. Some members were transferred from the J.V. to the varsity because of their speedy improvement. Terry Oncay, a former J.V. sophomore pitcher, was the first Royal to pitch a full nine inning varsity game, an 8-4 win over Abington. Of the group of aspiring J.V.'s, Mr. Joseph Rhile, coach, chose Roger Conway and Richard Mostardo as the most promising players. Robert DcStefano, a sophomore, acts as junior varsity manager.

Tennis season began early this year for interested girls, who practiced indoors before the weather became suitable for outdoor play. With the new coach, Miss Marilyn Hughes, came a new system. The ladder system was started when each girl drew a number for position on the ladder. Each girl then attempted to work her way up by challenging those ahead. Those at the top of the ladder took part in the interescbolastic matches. This system has already succeeded in breaking last year's losing streak with a 3-2 win over Berwyn. The members of the team were greatly aided by their cverbusy senior manager, Joyce Trumbower. Girls' Varsity Tennis 1953 U.D.

On school days, week-ends, and holidays, swift serves whizzed over the nets of U.D.’s seven new all-weather courts. Since the team formerly had to travel to outside courts for practice, they felt that these new courts were a fine addition. The team was sparked by senior varsity players Williams, Sample, Johnson, Matthias, and Hurlbcrt. Under the direction of Coach McKinley Stevens of the Science Department, many inexperienced boys learned the fundamentals of the game in preparation for future teams. Tom O'Brien, manager, took charge of supplies and handled the records from which boys were chosen to play in the official matches. First Rom: N. Johnson, D. Lynch, L. Drew � , D. Matthias, S. Rom: C.

Intramural sports, too, played an important role in Upper Darby’s athletic program. They are planned for the purpose of extending an opportunity to participate in some form of competitive sports to those who are not quite skilled enough to make the varsity or J.V. teams. The girls' teams are recruited from the gym classes; the boys' teams are organized from the homerooms. This year's intramural program had to be limited to the winter sports, basketball and volleyball, because of the lack of outdoor playing areas. Both the sophomore boys and girls became the champions in the round-robin basketball tournament. Homeroom 53 sparked by Jim Ritchie, a member of the varsity team, defeated the winning junior homeroom 206 and senior homeroom 208 to become the school champs.

The girls’ volleyball teams were also organized from the gym classes. These games were played after school for one week with sophomore, junior, and senior teams competing. The victor in this fast moving sport was the junior team, captained by Lynn Elliott. The members of the winning teams in each sport were awarded class numerals. Records in intramural athletics are kept on a score board that is located in the South corridor. This intramural program contributed greatly to the enjoyment of leisure high school life while developing the rules of good sportsmanship in each player.
