Miss Reed ond Miss Weil, smile os Mortha ond friends pose in the Bicycle Scene SINCE the stage is the theme of the 1955 OAK, we take this opportunity to recognize the contributions of Miss Frieda E. Reed and Miss Maizie G. Weil to our school and community through their tireless work in dramatics. Guided by these two outstanding teachers. National Thespian Troupe 1000 has earned a distinguished national reputation. Miss Reed and Miss Weil have developed the dramatic program into an educational one with a real place in our high school liberal arts program. Thespians has become o many-sided activity, pro- ducing people skilled in the arts of octing, costume design, makeup, scene design, costume construction, and scene construction. Miss Reed, as dramotic cooch, is always inspired by the trans- formation of new people from greenhorns to dependable standbys. She feels that this experience is worth any agony it may take. Miss Weil finds her greatest satisfaction in seeing the creative- ness of her crew developing right before her eyes at a performance. She is constantly amazed at the ingenuity of her crew members when they make beautiful things, apparently out of nothing. Miss Reed and Miss We l, the OAK honors you for your unselfish dedication in providing students with exciting creative experiences, helping them to appreciate the fine arts, and raising the cultural level of our school ond community. 6 A Dedicated Citizen DR GEORGE G. DILWORTH Pictured in inset is Dr. Dilworth presenting ploque to Mr. Bcrmon's son ot the Berman Memorial Ceremony With him is Mr. George Hoebler, Ass stont to the Superintendent of Schools. DR. GEORGE G. DILWORTH, who holds o bachelor's degree from Swarthmore, a doctorate from Dickinson, became a member of the School Board in July, 1931, and hos been its president since 194i. Under his skillful direction, the Board operates as an effective unit. Difficult problems are faced promptly and courageously. Decisions are mode only after careful study and full understanding on the part of all members. The graciousness of Dr. Dilworth's manner, the warmth of his personality, the spontaneity of his humor, the sincerity of his interest have endeared him to the entire community. Although the responsibilities of his position as Secretory of the American Bible Society are quite heavy, he always finds time to speok ot a dedication program inaugurating new school facilities, a memorial service for o deceased foculty member, a testimonial reception for an editor emeritus. Completely dedicated to the best interests of the community which he has hod so large a part in building. Dr. Dilworth is also active on hospital and library boards; in youth and welfore agencies; in civic and church groups. As Dr. Dilworth begins his twenty-fifth year of service to the citizens of Upper Darby, we, the Class of 1955, are happy to honor a great community leader by dedicating this OAK, our bock of pleasant memories, to him. 7 What is this which morning sunlight Gilds with golden beams? Tis our Upper Darby School, Costle of our dreams. Raise the chorus, keep it ringing. Loud her praises tell. Hail to thee, beloved High School! Hoil to thee, oil hail! FOREWORD JUST AS the actor anxiously awaits his curtain call on opening night, so we, the Class of 1955, anticipated our role at Upper Darby Senior High School. For three years now, we have staged our own three-act drama in the classrooms and halls of Upper Dorby. It is with pride that we conclude our high school days, which ore but one scene in the world's endless ploy. The theme of the 1955 OAK capitalizes on this thought of universal interest in the theatre, which we can apply to our own community of Upper Darby. Within the poges of this book, running heods illustrate this central thought and challenge us to take our ploce in the drama of the world — to make it a more enjoyable and a better place in which to live. We hope that this book, serving as our program to life, will remind everyone thot, All the world's a stoge, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays mony parts; his acts being On the Great Big Doorstep PoA ATo r■ r- r MR. JOHN H. TYSON AS THE director of the production, Mr. John H. Tyson, Superintendent of Schools, hos given his best to our community ond our educational system. For more than three decodes he has served our schools first in the capocity of principal and now os superintendent of the township school system. Under his capable leadership, the building progrom in the Upper Darby School System has reoched an all time high. Plons for o new Junior High School have gone into effect; three new ele- mentary schools have been built in the lost five years; and our own senior high school hos had many new additions mode to it; among them, the construc- tion of an Industrial Arts Building, and the extension of two wings. A director needs ability, understand- ing, and foresight — eoch of which Mr. Tyson hos in obundance. Our Producers SEATED: H. Kimble Hicks, Vonleer I. Bend, Mrs Bertho S. Wert, John J Schultz, John H. Frazier, John C. Porry, Vice President, Mrs. Rhcda S. Seeburger, Dr. Harionn F. Haines. STANDING: John BECAUSE of a 50% increase in school enrollment during the last seven years, our Board of Education has hod many new problems to face. However, the civic- minded members of the Board gove freely of their time to solve these difficult problems. John J. Schulz, former president of the Stonehurst Hills Home and School Association, proved a valuable oddition to this group. The Board's plans for the Westbrook Park Elemen- try School saw completion this year; the construction of on industrial arts wing for the high school is going 12 Staged the Production H.

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. SINCE his debut in 1943 as principal of the Upper Darby Senior High School, Dr. Jomes E. Nancorrow hos played an important role in making our school one of the best in Delaware County. School affairs have run so smoothly under his direction that few realize the amount of work involved in the efficient administration of such a large organization. The positions to which Dr. Noncarrow has been elected in community organizations show the high esteem in which he is held in the county. The Optimist's Award for 1954 was recognition for his services. On the state and national level. Dr. Nancorrow presides os president of the Pennsylvania Branch of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and president of the Principals' Deportment of the Pennsylvania State Educational Association. In addition to this, he holds membership in the Head Masters Associa- tion and membership on the College Entrance Examination Board representing the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The high ideals with which Dr. Nancorrow has inspired us have not only been characteristic of Purple and Gold tradition but also of those held by other outstanding American high school principals as well.

STUDENTS were not the only ones who worked hard at their desks all day. Our efficient secre- tarial staff come earlier and stayed later than most students. The secretaries took dictation, answered telephones, made appointments, organized printed matter for teochers, and did other essential jobs Elinor H. Brockway and Jane R. Richardson, Dr. Noncorrow's secretaries; Jo Ann Newton, Mr. Holmes' secretary; and Margaret H. Boyd, in charge of the High School Office; were an essential part of the smooth functioning of the school. They Excelled ROW ONE: E Koletos, M. Irvine, D Cohan ROW TWO: E. Trois, J. Copellini, J.

D REXEL INSTITUTE, Villonovo College, Temple University, and the University of Pennsylvania again sent future teochers to Upper Darby for practice in instructing classes. These young adults were fulfilling college course requirements by prac- tice teaching in their particular field. They both observed and taught, often taking over classes completely in the absence of the regular instructor. The cadets' activities also included working in the attendance office, taking over study halls, and supervising the infirmary. Sometimes they even de- voted extra time to tutoring or speaking to some of UD's clubs. Faculty members, themselves, re- ceived some useful pointers on new methods of teaching from these who aspire to be teachers. The Upper Darby faculty and students extend their sincere thanks to the student teachers for a job well done and hope that they reach their goal to be successful instructors in their chosen profession. MRS CATHERINE NICHOLS A NO HELPER Behind the Scenes UNDER the supervision of Mrs Catherine B. Nichols, the cafeteria staff functioned os on efficient and friendly group of workers. Preparing o well balonced lunch for every school doy, keeping the cafeteria in tip top condition at all times, and planning the menu for sports and publication banquets, kept this hard working group continuously busy. We were not the only ones to see and appreciate the splendid work of the cafeteria staff. Last year our cafeteria won second place in the state school cafeteria competition. This roting wos judged on kitchen manage- ment, food preparation, student conduct, and the generol condition of the cofeterio. Our cafeteria staff deserved this honor.

Fourth picture: Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Schlichter, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Lloyd. BEHIND the scenes the Maintenance Staff worked diligently to keep our classrooms, cafe- teria, gymnasium, and campus neat and clean. Under the supervision of Mr. Charles W. Butter- worth, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds; Mr. Frank B. Haskell, and Mr. David Lewis, the staff functioned in order to make us comfortoble during school hours. Preparing the gymnasium for athletic events, reconditioning mutilated desks, regulating the temperature of the buildings, and keeping the grounds in good condition constituted only a few of their many invaluable services. When visitors praise our school for its clean, attractive appearance, the credit is due rightly to the Mainte- nance Staff.

MOWRY The class of '57 owed much of the success of their first year on the hill to their advisers. Miss Helen Mowry and Mr. Paul Coffey. Miss Mowry, of the English Department, conducted classes in public speaking during school hours, while Mr. Coffey, of the History Department, taught Prob- lems of Demccrocy and American History. The odvisers were ossisted by the class officers: Brandle Mason, president; Alan Walton, vice-president; Jann Powell, secretary; Robert Myer, treasurer; and Arlene Leddy, historian. As their initial money raising campaign, the sophs undertook the selling of mogazine sub- scriptions. This project netted $3100 for their treasury thus eliminating financial worries for their three yeors on the hill. The Executive Committee, composed of the class officers and a representative from each sophomore 30 homeroom, corned out effectively its role of leader- ship in class affairs. Members of this committee and other sub-committees, such as publicity, deco- ration, refreshment, and favor, planned the social affairs of the class. The fall get acquainted porty. Sophomore's Hideaway, provided fun for all as well as achieving its ice-breaking purpose. In January, the Executive Committee nominated Sue Tcmalmo, occordionist, and Ellen Olsen, vocal- ist, for the honor of competing for All-School Show Queen.

As one of the Junior Class advisers. Miss Miller of the Home Economics De- portment acquainted students with many different recipes in foods class and hod one of her own for guidance of the 56ers. The chief ingredient of her recipe was service, for she was of constant help to everyone. Mr. Roy Wolfgong, os a geometry teocher thought he hod seen most every kind of problem. However he discovered — in his analysis -as the other Junior class adviser that there were many more problems of various sizes, shapes, and angles. Mr. Wolfgang found his foremost outside interest in bowling and is still looking forward to his first 300 game. MISS JULIA MILLER In Confidence, Juniors Were Timothy Jefopoulus, Richord Koplon, Ann Carter, Robert Wogg 36 FOR HIS hypothesis, Mr. Wolfgang was given a group of industrious closs officers and executive committee members. Dick Kaplan, President; Tim Jefopoulos, Vice President; Ann Carter, Secretary; Bob Waag, Treasurer, ond Phyllis Dietrich, class historian led closs activities, while the Executive Committee, composed of representatives from each homeroom, helped to bolster class spirit. They be- gan their sociol affairs on the right foot with The Junior Swing their first donee. They nominated Ivy Siegfried ond Arlene Belefonte for All School Show Queen, presented The Star Wogon as their play and climaxed the year's activities with the traditional Junior-Senior Reception. Miss Miller, Mr. Wolfgang, and the Junior class worked as a team to solve their many problems; and they arrived at the most important conclusion of all: the Junior class enjoyed an interesting and prosperous year.

It continued with the all-school election of the president, music during lunch, and dances after the basketball games and Tag Day events. Council also undertook the tremendous task of selling refreshments at the football games and selling sweatshirts, book covers, decals, pennants, and pencils in the cafeteria.

They Have Very Oft of Late The '55 Upi-Dah, Upper Derby's literary maga- zine, gave students an opportunity to display their creative writing ability. Stories, poems, and essays sparked the peges of the magazine in just the right combination of humor ond seriousness. Ex- perimenting with a new idea, the Upi-Dah staff published one big eighty-eight page issue this year instead of the customary two Because the staff was unusually small, its job of soliciting stories, deciding on the best ones, and proofreading be- came an even greater task than usual. Deborah Horkins, Editor-in-Chief, spent many afternoons and study periods preparing manuscripts for final publication. Marlene Catoldo, Art Editor, devoted her time to managing the art staff and drawing and selecting appropriate illustrations for the magazine. Highlight of the publication was the traditional Fideles poge which honored eight out- standing Royals. Under the guidance of Miss Edith Gaukrodger, the Upi-Dah has been a consistent winner in press competition. Last year it won first ploce recognition from the Pennsylvania State Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. Staff mem- bers pictured above: L. Lee, S. Charlesworth, P. Pennypacker, K. Krill, S. Jeffcott, and D. Harkins listen as Miss Gaukrodger reads a manuscript. Upi-Doh Staff members discuss o story.

This year the staff, under the supervision of Mr. Clayton K. Shenk, consisted of twenty-one girls. The staff was directed by Ann Swab, business man- ager; Sue Bechtel, circulation manager; Margaret Dimmler, Oak manager; and Janet McMockin, ad- vertising manager.

For Games and Concerts 'Drum Majorettes, Color Guard, and members of the Bond in formation between halves ot one of football games Color Guard stepping lively ot o football game. 50 Upidities often heard music drifting up to their homerooms from the football field os band members procticed their drills for the sports season. The band, under the direction of Robert A. Doane, was a regular feature during half-time at all football games. It also ployed for pep rallies, assemblies and parades. Members acted as hosts ot The U. D. Mc- Gee Spree, their onnual dance, and joined with the orchestra to present The Royal Serenade, their an- nual concert. Don Spencer led the band os student director. He was ossisted by Walt Benedict, vice-president; Pot Middleton, secretary-treasurer; and Sue Bechtel and Sandy Deichler, librarians. Dick Tosco and Bob Lecher rated seats in district band. The Royallaires, on independent dance band led by Dick Tosco, ployed for many school social events. Enthusiasm reoched its peak when these swingsters copped third place in the Bands of Tomorrow contest. A high-stepping color guard, captoined by Doris A. Anderson, paroded at a quick pace with the bond during half time at football games Color guard members, pictured at the left, are selected on the basis of their marching ability and their proficiency in following commands. They Provided Music Members of bond ond orchestra led by Mr. Doone strike uo o lively tune in senior assembly. Royals who arrived at the school neor the hour of 8:00 will remember hearing music emitting from the old gym. Upon investigation they found or- chestra members practicing for such events as assembly programs and the annual Christmas Con- cert. Mr. Robert A. Doane, conductor, felt that the Christmas Concert, where the orchestra «ac- companied the Choral Club in several numbers, was the most successful. In April, orchestra members joined the band, majorettes and colorguard to present The Royal Serenade. Members of the or- chestra and band also combined their tolents to perform at the special Hi-Q oward ossembly. A tape recording made of this performance wos later broadcast over a local station. The early part of May, orchestra members cut two records, later in the month they ployed in the three assemblies com- memorating Memorial Day; ond finally they sup- plied the music for our graduation. Deborah Harkins, Dick Tasca, seniors; Bob Lecher and Carol Wagner, juniors, represented U.D in the District Orchestra. Carol, a junior violinist, was also selected to represent U.D. in the All-State Orchestra. Our Drum Majorettes, captained by Wiliene Lee, junior, performed clever drill routines and twirled during half-time at all football games. ★ Throughout Our Halls A Cappella A Choir, directed by Dr. Clyde R. Dengler, retained its reputation of being one of the foremost musical organizations in the state. Mem- bers sang for the State Convention of secondary school principals at Harrisburg ond for the Na- tional Convention of secondary school principals at Atlantic City. Together with A Coppello B and the University Glee Club, they sang at the Upper Darby Forum and at Girard College. Their pre- sentation of o Bach Cantata Christ Loy In Death's Dark Prison, with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy climaxed a year's study of the work. After singing at the Inquirer Music Festival, they completed an exceptionally active season by singing at graduation. Their Voices Echoed The high point of the seoson for A Coppello B Choir members come when they combined with the A Choir, Delaware County Choral Society, and a Philadelphia Consevatory group to present the Bach Cantota Christ Lay in Death's Dark Prison. The entire group is pictured below at one of the per- formances at the Academy of Music. The choir also joined in the Choral Club's annual Christmas Con- cert and the spring cantota, The Seven Last Words of Christ. They combined with A Coppello A to sing this cantata at Clyde R. Dengler, Jr.'s church in Norristown. The group's last important performance was given with the Choral Club at the Lions Club Minstrel Show. O O’ i jn A r q Pi n on o h n Cifr Choral Club Captured The Town's Interest ET THOSE cheeks out of the sockets! This was one of the VJ many favorite expressions used by Dr. Clyde R. Dengler, conductor of the Upper Darby Choral Club. The humorous antics he performed to keep the chorus on pitch certainly were contributing foctors in the success of their annual Christmas and Easter Concerts. In January, officers Fred Olson, Barclay Cale, Kirk Kain and Lorna Ringler led the club in organizing its annual Steel Pier Frolic, ogam an outstanding success. The World Took Note Crew checks lost minute details before production. November 12 and 13 Royals laughed at the antics of Joseph, Jules, Alfred, and their pal Adolf and, though hardly possible, the story is twice os funny in retrospect. Joseph, Jules, and Alfred were three convicts who appeared with Adolf, a pet snoke at the heme of Felix, a storekeeper, seeking employment. They were a boon to the nearly bank- rupt old man; they were oble to sell anything in his store ond balance his books to good advantage. To add to the fun, Adolf stroightened out romontic difficulties between Felix's daughter and her spine- less young suitor. He killed Uncle Henri and then confused matters by making a neat get-a-way. We will long remember Dave Hicks' frantic cries os he tried to recover Adolf, Barcloy Cole's manner of slicking down his hair, and Frank Cunningham's convincing promise that he would never kill anybody with a crowbar ogain. Outstanding productions such as My Three Angels never just happen. The following people are to be cited for devoting all their extra- curricular time to the production: Miss Frieda E. Reed, Miss Maizie G. Weil, directors; Wendy Holmes, Carol Loewen, student directors; Janet Hornberger, stoge manoger, set designer; Jean Watson, head of lighting; Fay Fredericks, head of props; Joyce Berger and Babs De George, choirmon of makeup and costume committees respectively.

The Starwagon, by Maxwell Anderson, was the choice of the closs of 1956 for their Junior Play. The comedy centered around a time-mochine, the starwagon, invented by Steve Minch and his friend Hanus. Steve was a hard-working, but unappreci- ated research worker. When his wife Martha, dis- satisfied with their low income, wished that he hod married Hallie, her rival; and that she hod married her old beau, Paul, Steve adjusted the Starwagon so that her wishes would come true. Miss Frieda E. Reed, director, and Nathan Stack- house, student director, cooched the eighteen star- lets in o performance that was professional in quality. Under the guidance of Miss Maizie G. Weil, technical director, and Mike Ossar, stage manager, members of stage crew produced their usual high standard of work. The ability of the make-up and costume chairman, plus the support and enthusiasm of the class helped in making The Starwagon a stellar presentation. 58 On the Star Wagon Student director and committee chairman moke lost minute check up.

The thirty-four act extravaganza was directed by faculty members Robert A. Doane and William L. Keller. Chris Fiore presided over the show as Miss Upidoll of 1955. Chris' singing ability won for her the coveted title of Miss Upidoll in the festive event. Once more, the All School Show rated a ploce os one of the most successful projects of the year. A Dream Came True The selection of o Moy Queen, a port of U.D. tradition since 1923, will be remembered as one of the most exciting events of the school year. There was a great air of expectancy as Miss Charlotte S. Chrisman, closs adviser, announced the May Queen, selected by preferential ballot. Petite, vivacious, friendly Judy Wells wos chosen os May Queen on the basis of her attractiveness, personality, leadership, and her all-round service to her class and school. Judy hos been o cheerleader and a member of Leaders' Group for three years. In recognition for her fine work during her first year on the hill, she was elected to Girls' Hi-Y at the end of her sopho- more yeor. One of Judy's favorite activities was dramatics, and her moving portrayal of Joan of Arc, in the Junior Play will always be remembered. After Miss Chrismon announced Judy as May Queen, Mrs. Danehower introduced Sandy Ralston and Jann Powell, members respectively of the Junior and Sophomore Executive Committees. Sondy held a bosket of corsages for the Queen and her court, while Jann held the cards with the names of the girls of the court, which Judy announced. The girls in the May Queen's Court were Biff Anderson, class secretary; Ann Carson, coptain of the rifle team; Arlene Cherrie, Gold closs color captain; Connie Cullen, edictor-in-chief of the OAK; Jean Glodney, a member of the Student Council Executive Committee; Marie McClaren, a member of the varsity hockey and basketball teams; Janet McMockin, advertising manager; Sondy Soho, a member of the cheerleading squod; Nancy Seeburger, president of Girls' Hi-Y; and Moribell Whetstone, a member of the varsity bas- ketball team. MAY QUEEN JUDITH WELLS. CONSTANCE CULLEN According to Tradition MAR I BELL WHETSTONE JEAN GLADNtY DORIS A. ANDERSON MARIE McCLAREN SANDRA SAHA ANN CARSON NANCY SEEBURGER JANET McMAKIN ARLENE CHERRY For Life, for Crown, for Queen Moy Day is one of the most colorful and exciting events of the school year. Its pageantry and spirit make it a day never to be forgotten. As the May Queen in her beautiful white dress proceeds ocross the field with the girls of her court in their lovely pastels, the student body gasps in odmiration. When last year's Moy Queen placed the golden crown on the May Queen's heod, the twenty-sixth annual May Day of Upper Darby officially began. A specially selected group of sophomore girls paid tribute to the Queen in a Maypole dance. The main event of the afternoon and the most important Purple and Gold Color Contest began when the entire student body marched on the field for the traditional May Day drill. The Purple and Gold teams each did their drill with almost perfect preci- sion, then combined, showing an unforgetable scene of rhythm and action. When the May Queen presented the banner to the coptains of the win- ning team, half of the spectators jumped for joy They Competed while the other holf sank dejectedly into their seats. After the awarding of the banner, the winning team struggled to maintain its lead, and the losing team valiantly tried to overtake them in the contests of the rest of the afternoon. Senior girls were smeared from ear to ear with sticky blueberry pie in the pie eating contest. Junior girls drew many laughs from the spectators with their suitcase relay, while the sophomore girls competed in a broom race. The boys showed their strength and skill os Purple and Golds of all grades struggled in tug-of-war contests. The sophomore boys participated in a sack race, the juniors in a block roce, and the seniors in a basketball hoop relay. Track relays and softball games ended the busy afternoon. Finally, os the sun wos setting and most of the spectators hod gone home, the last score was in and the winning team wos known. So ended the May Day of 1955, one of the most exciting in Upper Darby's history. 65 Members of the stage crew shift a scene. As the opplause sounded for on outstanding pro- duction, the Notional Thespian Troupe 1000 com- pleted another successful year. The Thespians were always willing to present programs for school as- semblies, Mothers' Group meetings, or outside church or hospital benefits. Cuts from Androcles and the Lion, The Toming of the Shrew, and Mary of Scotland entertained sophomores, juniors, and seniors in their assemblies and also highlighted the Mothers' Group Fashion Show. The Children's play was, as always, the big Thes- pian event of the year. Simple Simon, this year's children's play was given before more than 2000 Upper Darby youngsters. The costumes, settings, and lighting, which had to change from red to green in view of the audience, enabled the Thes- pians once more to show their initiative and their creative ability. The attendance of Aurand Harris, author of Simple Simon, at the Saturday afternoon performance added an exciting atmosphere to the The cast from the '55 Children's Play gather around Simple Simon, the leading character. Th ere All the Honor Lies presentation. As usual the annual children's play was not only a financial success, it was a theatrical milestone as well. Thespians also presented o cut from the Three Boors ct the Temple University Drama Conference, and the Sleeping Beauty at the spring initiation meeting. Janet Hornberger assumed the time consuming job of president with enthusiastic leadership. As- sisted by Jeon Wotson, vice-president; Judy Wells, secretary; Elaine Cake, treasurer; Carol Loewen, clerk; ond David Hicks, Sergeant-at-arms; Janet guided the Thespians through a successful season. Behind the scenes members of the stage crew, makeup committees and costumes committees were just os important os the octors. All of these people working together enabled Thespians to accomplish their aims as successfully as they did. Miss Frieda Reed ond Miss Maizie Weil as co- sponsors of Troupe 1000 gove their time ond talents unselfishly to their work. Simple Simon meets the pieman, os the washerwoman looks on. They Gave Us Service One of the busiest organizations in the High School was Girls' Hi-Y. The girls, selected on the basis of leadership, character and scholarship, gave service with a smile whether on duty at the information desk, working in the main office, serving at school dinners or guiding bewildered new students to their classes during the first days of school. They were the faithful ushers at the Upper Darby Forum, the All-School Show, and the May Day celebration. With Boys' Hi-Y they sponsored The Midway their annual party. Nancy Seeburger, President; Patricia Middleton, Vice-President; Sue Bechtel, Secretary; and Daphne Podis, Treasurer led the club under the direction of Miss Edith Gaukrodger. Hi-Y girls stuff Red Cross envelopes. Hi-Y officers decorate the school Christmas tree. Of Mind and Soul ★ ★ ★ As the other half of the Hi-Y, members of the Boys' Hi-Y hove given o great deal of service to the school and community. They hove ushered at football games, and Adult School. They have shared with the members of Girls' Hi-Y the responsibilities of serving at the Loyal Boosters sports banquets, and of ushering at the All- School Show. The boys also co-sponsored the Midway, the annual Hi-Y affair. They aided the community by serving one day a week at a local blood bank.

A trip to New York to view leadership on an international level was another outstanding event of the year Senior members of the Leaders' Group are pictured above with Mr. Andersen, adviser. The Leoders Group hos grown, since its organiza- tion in 1947, into one of U.D.'s finest service groups. Stamping, checking, renewing, and shelving books were duties of the Library Club members, who worked on displays before and after school, and devoted one study period a week to library work. With their supervisor. Miss Emma Brogan, assist- ant librarian, and Janet Burcaw, club president, the twenty-girl stoff plonned a fall picnic and a spring visit to the new Merchantile Library in Philodelphio.

They served the community by making sock dolls for the childrens' Hospitol ond distribut- ing T.B. collection boxes to local stores. A field trip to Hahnemann Hospital where they witnessed two operations and one to the Widener Home for Crippled Children highlighted the year's activities. The boys who operated the projectors to show movies to various closses were members of the Visual Aids club They took charge of the movie equipment in assemblies and were often called on to show movies for various clubs in the community. Their work included not only using the equipment but also making sure that it remained in top condi- tion. In order to finance their annual dinner, the bovs sold chocolote-cocoanut Easter eggs in school. The club is pictured below with David Fantcm, president; James Morawski, vice-president; Harold Kodikian, secretary; and Mr. Vaughn Smith, faculty adviser.

Posters publicizing our plays and dances, cover designs used for play progroms, paintings displayed by the Artist of the Week — these were the prod- ucts of Beaux Arts Club. Christmos decorations, which resulted from the combined efforts of all club members, were most impressive. A huge Santo, candles and wreaths painted on windows of the cafeteria, and angels placed on either side of a Christmos tree in the front hall odded a festive atmosphere. Beaux Arts provided weekly meetings for artistic Royals to develop their talents. Club officers were Marie McBride, President; Marlene Cotaldo, Vice-President; Joyce Coleman, Secretary; and Peachie Liberatore, Treasurer. Bi-weekly meetings of the Musical Masterpiece Society were held under the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Oswald.

After each record- ing, the members joined in o discussion about the music. Club members pictured to the left ore: Jon Grymes, Mike Berman, Dorann Burstein, Don Spencer, and Mr. Oswold. A Variety of Interests Le dcuxicme jeurdi du mois, or the second Thursdoy of the month, Le Cercle Francois, spon- sored by Miss Charlotte S. Chrisman ond Miss Mary A. Taylor met in room 223. These meetings feotured French games, puppet shows, quizzes, songs, and movies. Often members gave informative talks about French art, music, or drama. One of the highlights of the year was the presentation of a French Christmas Ploy, written by Miss Chrisman. At another meeting, Miss Chrisman showed slides taken during her trip through Switzerland. French Club members concluded their meetings with re- freshments and the singing of La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem. This year's officers were Wendy Holmes, president; Rosalie Bellairs, vice-president; Joan Del Rossi, secretary; and Carol Loewen, treasurer. Der Deutsche Klub has been a part of Upper Darby for twenty-seven years.

This was a familiar cry at Gehris Bowling Alley on Thursday afternoons. The Girls' Bowling Club, under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Best, was a regular customer there eoch week. The girls divided into intramural teams early in the year. From these teams the girls with the highest aver- ages bowled on the varsity and J.V. The team, although it did not bowl in a leogue, never lacked competition. Notre Dame, Haverford, the foculty, and the boys' bowling team all proved to be worthy opponents. Awards were presented at the Annual Spring Dinner when the outgoing officers, Kay Ryan, Presi- dent; Sandy Vitullo, Vice-president; Alice Lux, Sec- retary; and Marilyn Berger, Treasurer, presented next year's officers to the club. ★ ★ Under the direction of Mr. John Young, the Boys' Bowling Club completed a very successful season.

The boys met each Wednesday afternoon at Gehris to sharpen and increase their skill in bowling. Through the welfore program. Upper Darby stu- dents had the chance to give their contribution to the various chori ties. Each student pledged a cer- tain amount of money by signing a card in Septem- ber. The pledge could be paid in one payment, monthly, or weekly. Working with ninety per cent of the total school pledge, Mrs. Edna Donehower mode up a tentative budget which was then pre- sented to the Welfare Board. The board, made up of several foculty members and four students from eoch grade, voted on the final budget. Daphne Podis served as secretary of the board and repre- sented it in Student Council. The Community There Chest, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the Polio Fund were among the charitable organiza- tions which received aid from Upper Dorby. As more than ninety per cent of the total pledge was col- lected, the Welfare Board voted in Moy to disperse the additional money among the charities Pictured obove the members of the Welfare Board: J.

Was a Time for Work Every time the fire drill bell rang, two hundred Upidites, members of the fire hose and fire ex- tinguisher teams, took their posts in the building instead of filing outside with the rest of their classmates. The boys on the fire hose team were under the direction of Mr. Peter Bernodino, who assigned two boys to each fire hose. Floor captains checked on the boys during the course of the drill, and made the necessary changes should both boys on the same post be absent. Mr. Anchor Williams supervised the one-hundred boys on the fire ex- tinguisher team. Mr. Bernodino, Mr. Williams, ond members of the Highland Park Fire Company also taught the boys how to use the fire fighting equip- ment. Pictured to the right: students filing out of the building in orderly lines. 80 Dances, parties, social functions — all of these went into the making of UD's well-planned and well-rounded social life. The whirl of this life kept our students on their toes, busy meeting new faces while renewing old acquaintances. The extensive planning after school, the decor- ating of the gym on the day of the affair, and the actual fun at the party or dance, gave students the experience and enjoyment of meeting new people and getting along with them. Each school social function was a different and exciting adventure. Games, elimination dances and refreshments sparked the class parties. Beoutiful decorotions and name bands odded distinction to the class dances. A genuine fair atmosphere com- plete with weight guessers, fortune tellers, and games of skill, marked the Hi-Y dance as one of the outstanding events of the year. As you can easily see. Upper Darby had a busy and happy social life in 1954-55. And a Time for Play ★ ★ ★ Fun for All Football team receives oviords ot Booster Banquet.

All for Fun For School and Team Plagued by injury and lack of depth, the Royal football team finished the season with on un- impressive two wins and six losses. Although they were not victorious on many Saturday afternoons, the boys made up for their losses in spirit and love for the game. The team was coached by Arthur Pursell and his oble assistants. On Thonksgiving Day Haverford and Upper Darby met in their annual tilt. The U.D. gridmen ployed a fine game but went down to defeat 13-6. At the end of the season the players selected Don Mawson and Jack Saha as co-captains. Don was also selected the most valuable player. With many returning lettermen, football prospects look good for 1956. Pictured above from left to right: Row one: J. Pine. B. Gilbert, T. Oncay, B. Holley, D. Mawson, R. Conway, O. Campana.

By Action Prompters School spirit is important to ony team and U D. spirit wos always bolstered by on enthusiastic cheerleoding squad, piloted by Mr. Charles Brooke of the history department. Lois Vowler, who led cheers throughout her three years here, captained the squad during the 1954-55 season. In addition to boosting team morale during the football and basketball seasons, the girls led cheers at pep rallies, at class assemblies, at the annual Purple and Gold Night, and set a new precedent by cheering at the Girls' Basketball games. In the fall, sophomores Cookie McCook and Barbara Evans were elected to the squad on the basis of their smile, pep, rhythm, and cheering ability.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Richard Kromer, the soccermen remained undefeated until their last game of the seoson. Although the boys played their best game of the year, Lody Luck deserted the team on this occasion and they went down to defeat at the hands of Lower Merion. Harriers practice in Naylors Run Course.

The Harriers, who were Suburban I Chomps, ron a close second in the District I Championship. At the Marcus Hook In- vitational Meet they demonstrated their champion- ship form by defeating Lower Merion, the only team that had been victorious over them the entire year. Coach Peter E. Bernardino felt that the rapid development of William Ralston and Franz Johann into topflight runners was a key foctor in the suc- cess of the team In the most surprising race of the season, four U.D. men and three Chester runners crossed the finish line in record breaking time. Leading the runners at the finish line was U.D.'s Don Jockson, who was elected captain. David Greene, who could alwoys be counted on for a great performance, received acclaim from his teammates by being elected the most valuable runner. The manager of the team, Fred Osterholtz, played a very important part in making the team successful. Whenever there wos a call for equip- ment, Fred wos right there on the job. The boys themselves were not the only champions on the team—everybody connected with it, from monager to coach demonstrated chompionship form. Took a Giant Step The J.V. Harriers, with Mr. Hedstrom as coach, completed a very successful season. A new prece- dent started with the appearance of freshmen on the team. This factor will give Upper Darby a very experienced team in future years. Since many of the varsity team members are seniors, many of the J.V. squad members will be moving up to varsity positions next year.

Pic- tured to the right: some interesting shots from a successful season. Although the hockey teom won only two games and lost six, Mrs. Dorothy Plantholt, coach, felt that the team members gained friends that they will remember far longer than their record of wins and losses. The Royal Sticksters defeated Radnor and Yeadon, then traveled to Swarthmore where they were downed 2-1 in the season's finale. After that game, coach Plantholt remarked that the team hod played its best; therefore, it was no disgrace to lose. The varsity eleven were guided by their captain, Janet Borney and by Pat Hinneburg, whom they elected the most valuoble player.

District I Swimming Champion- ship ending Lower Merion's six year hold on the title. The U.D. relay team, composed of Jill Grazer, Carolyn Harrison, Jackie Robbins, and Carole Shaw, broke the standing record at this meet. Jill Grozer and Carole Shaw consistently odded points to U.D. scores; both were undefeated dur- ing the season. Margie Huebner in diving competi- tion and Jockie Robbins in breaststroke also con- tributed greatly to the team's success. The twenty-five team members practiced three days a week at the Midcity Y.W.C.A. from four until five o'clock. Under the leadership of their co- captains Jill Grozer and Jackie Robbins and advice from Miss Marilyn K. Hughes, coach, the girls developed championship form.

Their record of nine wins and nine defeats does not show clearly the type of gome the boys played. A few points in many of these games spelled the difference be- tween victory and defeat. Dick Manco, elected cap- tain and most valuable player, was a bulwark of speed, skill, and dependability in the team's success. Early in the season the team was handed o stunning blow. One of the starting five, Pete Minos- sion, suffered a broken ankle. While he was out of action his outside shooting wos greatly missed, but Pete did get into a few games ot the end of the season. Fronz Johann, Manco, Minossian, Jim Ritchie, leading scorer and rebounder, and Dick Struck formed the nucleus of the cogemen this year. Al- though they did not have much of on opportunity to ploy, Owen Compono, Bob Gilbert, Dan Kennedy, Ray Martin, Ken Shraeder, and Jock Solomon sup- ported the starting five, thereby contributing to the success of the team.

Came Smilin' Through Skill combined with spirit this year os the Royal J.V.'s fought their way to a season's record which boasted of six wins, one loss and one tie. This record was due, in part, to the efforts of the team cooches, Miss Elizabeth Williams, who worked with the forwards; ond Mrs. Dorothy Plantholt, who worked with the guards. During several games, the cooches substituted sophomore girls for the regular players in order to give them experience. At each game a girl who had been outstanding in previous games wos chosen as captain for that particular conflict. Operating under this system, eoch member of the team had an opportunity to display her leadership abilities. The girls were selected for the team on the basis of their probability of success in making the varsity squod in their succeeding years on the hill.

All sports, which included boys' bosketball, and girls' basketball and volleyball, were under the di- rection of the physical education department. Boys' basketball started the season successfully. Boys from the three classes organized teams from their homerooms. Competition was keen in vying for the much sought after numerals. Room 11, a senior homeroom, won the championship. The girls intramural program was organized much differently. The girls chose teams from their gym closses.

The idea was quickly picked up by the boys, but when the whistle sounded for the start of the gome, students were in all seriousness. In February girls' teoms began playing volleyboll in quest of their numerals. Instead of the customary three sets of numerals being awarded to the winners of the dosses, only one set was awarded. The win- ning team obtained its numerals by eliminating the winners of the other two classes. Many Upidites, who were unable to participate in varsity sports, for one reason or other, received on opportunity to play sports os a result of the intramural program. We Cast the Best Bob Cornely keeps opponent in tight hold U. D. grapplers rose to heights never before attained in the history of wrestling at U. D.

Each girl challenged the first or second girl ahead of her in matches which were played before school under the supervision of Miss Dorothy L. Kirker. Miss Marilyn K Hughes, cooch, had four return- ing varsity players: Judy Clancy, Lynn Elliott, Janet Barney, and Martha Noel.

The cooch- ing department was augmented by Mr. Ralph G. McConnell and Mr. Albert B. Jackson, who joined Mr. Stevens in piloting the team. Fronk Cunning- ham, manager, kept all records ond took care of other team details. Class tournaments were held during the season in addition to the regularly scheduled varsity matches.

Although only two royal cindermen won in the first meet with Haverford, the boys gained worthwhile experience. Don Jockson come close to breaking the 8k) yard event, coming in only a half second after Haverford's McCuion. Bud Lawson, in the mile relay, and Bob Gilbert in the high jump, rocked up the only points for Upper Darby. Mr. Harold Thompson, head coach; Mr. Harry Wike, supervisor of the hurdlers and sprinters; Mr. Arthur Pursell, weightmen; and Mr. John Swartz, distance and middle distance runners; guided the boys through an eventful ond successful season.

Was Their Objective The J.V. baseball squad once again demonstrated power and strength on the diamond. Their suc- cess was highly commendoble considering the team was made up entirely of sophomores. The Royals were also under a handicap hoving only one field which was usually occupied by the Varsity. Mr. Joseph Rhile, cooch, worked with the boys helping them to correct their errors and improve their game. The J.V.'s played only eight games but they were given a chance to show their poten- tialities. At each game, team members chose a boy outstanding in previous games as captain for that particular day. Two players that seemed destined for the following year's varsity were George Miller, pitcher and Bob Myer, third baseman. Although the J.V. diamond men hod much to learn before they gained perfection, their spirit ond love for the game was unexcelled.

Thompson molded a successful baseball team from boys who hod fine spirit ond the will to win. The Royals showed plenty of good solid hitting, good support, and some very fine pitching. The cooperation of the boys helped make the season a successful one. Several returning lettermen from lost year's chompionship team formed the nucleus of the '55 squad. U.D.'s starting nine was composed of seven seniors and two juniors. The Royals lost only one pitcher through graduation, opening the season with a very experienced pitching stoff. Four cop- tains were elected at the beginning of the season instead of the customary two. Dick Hording and Ed Sovastio alternated as co-captains with Ray Martin and Don Meyer. This system made it possible to have a captain in the infield ond out- field during eoch game.

CHRISMAN Our Directors the senior office o home-like atmosphere which few will for- get. Seniors coaid drop in for advice, information, help, or just a cookie and conversation, and find Miss Chrisman willing to be helpful. Her generous manner accompanied by her pleasant smile quali- fied her as one of the best among U.D. class ad- visers. Faithfully she attended the executive com- mittee meetings on Monday morning and all other committee meetings for plays, parties, and dances. Miss Chrisman's practical yet creative planning in all affairs ensured a successful year. It also was a familiar sight to see our odviser offering Royals a lift to school; her 1954 Dodge always was a welcome sight to students walking along School Lane early in the morning. Her car also functioned as on express truck giving students a lift downtown to pick up decorating supplies for the dances. Besides directing the affairs of the class of '55, Miss Chrisman is a Spanish and French teacher. She co-sponsors the French Club. Her pleasing per- sonality and eosy manner encouraged many stu- dent-odviser friendships; hence, we regard Miss Chrisman as one of cur happiest high school memories. Pictured to the left Miss Chrisman announces the May Queen. Below left, the wheelbarrow race at the senior party. Below seniors participate in musical chairs. Staged the Year's Activities -AV Being a father, counselor, and odviser to students is a job that few people envy; however, Mr. Fred Loeb, senior class adviser, has opprooched this task with sincerity, hard work, ond a genuine sense of interest. As closs odviser, Mr. Loeb helped to plan enjoyable assemblies — one of the most popular was Marty Coruso's donee band. He also presented an assembly program himself, playing his favorite rec- ords from his extensive collection. When the time came for parties and dances Mr Loeb donated his talent, time, and energy toward helping seniors plan and organize their social func- tions. His family, also, became ardent enthusiasts for the Closs of '55. A Senior Class adviser's chief function is to give advice but like most people Mr. Loeb had a pet peeve — loafers '' When you're forty ond hove flat feet, you'll wish you had taken my advice, is one of Mr. Loeb's disparaging remarks on this subject. The only thing in which Mr. Loeb proved to be o disappointment to the seniors was his refusal to give a solo singing performance in assembly. In all other respects, os o teacher, friend, and adviser, he wos ideal. Pictured to the right: Mr Loeb entertains at the senior party. Lower left: Mr Loeb enjoys his record collection. Lower right: Mr. Loeb becomes a handy- man around the house. They Awaited Their Cue The officers of our class did not limit their activi- ties to class projects alone. Dick Harding, class president for three years, was a leader in many school activities. Besides being president of the class of '55, Dick excelled in athletics. He received two letters in basketball and three in baseball during his stoy on the hill. Dick was a member of student council for three years and worked un- ceasingly in eoch project undertaken by that organization. With a background such as this, it is little wonder that Dick guided the class so efficiently. In the background but always ready to step in and leod class activities — this dekribes Ray Windle, vice-president of the class. While in high school Ray gained experience in student govern- ment by holding positions in Student Council and Class Executive Committees. Handling the treasury of the class was a big job but Don Mawson, during his stay on the hill, handled the job smoothly. From the first class project—the mogozine campaign— until all arrangements were mode for the Senior Final, Don kept the books balanced. Don, when not worrying about financial matters, could be found on the football field as co-captain of the varsity eleven or playing centerfield for the Royals' baseball team. Keeping minutes of class executive meetings, playing hockey, captaining the color guard, and typing copy for publications kept Biff Anderson, closs secretary, very busy. Although Biff served her first term as class secretory this year, she carried out her duties in a professional manner. The job of class historian is one that receives little recogni- tion but requires a great deal of work. Joan Del Rossi, as historian, worked endlessly in compiling a record of our three important years on the hill. The complete history of closs ploys, parties, and dances became a reality as a result of Joan's work. Our debt of gratitude to our class officers is great. Through the efforts of officers and advisers, the class of 1955 will be able to look back upon their three years on the hill with pleasant memories. 122 Just os Student Council was the bockbone of our school, so the Senior Executive Committee was the bockbone of the Class of 1955. At 8:15 every Monday morning, the committee met in room 221 under the guidance of Miss Chrisman and Mr. Loeb, class advisers, and Richard Harding, class president. They discussed the problem and plons of their fellow seniors and after the meeting each member mode a report to his homeroom about the activities of the committee. The first big job of the Executives was getting the Senior Party committees organized in the fall. This informal get-together provided entertainment and a chance for seniors to get re-acquainted after the summer vacation. Later in the season they chose The Harvest Hop as the name for the Senior Dance and set the committees in motion. Another responsibility was to approve some of the assembly programs which had been suggested by the Assembly Committee. Next on the agenda wos to help the Program Committee solicit advertise- ments for the program for the Senior Play, My Three Angels. As winter approached, so did another important job—that of nominating two girls to compete for the All School Show Queen. Their choices were Chris Fiore, a singer, and Lorna Ringler, a dancer. Another midwinter task wos preparing for the Mother's Group Party. At the end of the first semester, the members of the homerooms had the privilege of electing o new Executive Committee member if they so desired. Spring was on even busier time for the Com- mittee. They nominated two girls for May Queen in the special May Queen Assembly. On Memorial Day they followed the tradition of decorating the graves of deceosed Upper Darby High School teachers in Arlington cemetery. One of their last jobs was to make plans for the Senior Final, which was a memorable occasion for every senior who attended. Members of the Executive Committee ore pic- tured below. Seated: G. Strack, S. Swain, D. Ander- son, G. Berguido, J Barney, A. Smith, B. Estes, J. Del Rossi, Miss Chrisman. Standing: R. Tosco, R. Windle, P Jobson, P. Waldron, R. Gilbert, R. Harding, R. Famous, D.

Behind the Scenes 123 What Price Rosalie Bellairs, Carol Clark, Constance Cullen, Deborah Harkins, Carol Kerr, and Patricia Middle- ten were the recipients of the Scholarship Awcrd this year The closs of 1955 was proud of the six girls who led the class in scholarship.
