The circus is in town! Under the big top the crowd looks on with amazement as the trapeze artists soar through the air in daring maneuvers. They laugh at the clowns frolicking about. They thrill as the lion trainer puts the big cats through their paces. But the most important part of the circus is what the crowd doesn't see. They very often don't realize all the hard work behind each performer's act. They forget about the many things that must be done before a show can open; unloading the trains, setting up the big top. and preparing the many acts before the final show. So it is in school. We go from day to day, class to class, little realizing all the work that must be done to make each day new and interesting. We want to see our teams win and we cheer them on, but do we think about all the prac- tice and time that goes into making a team good? We go to dances and plays to have a good time, but what about the months of preparation and hard work that make the successes ? In this year's Oak we have tried to bring out this simi- larity between school and circus. We have tried to show that there must be hard work in back of everything in order to make it worthwhile, but that there is fun in work. • •• • ' •. .0, V . •• • t L Table of Contents page 1 Half Title page 2 Foreword page 3 Table of Contents page 8 The Courses We Take page 10 The Fun We Have page 12 The Clothes We Wear page 13 The Things We Do page 16 Superintendent page 17 Principal page 18 Faculty page 28 The Acorn page 29 The Oak page 30 Upi-Dah page 31 Art Staffs page 32 Typing Staff page 33 Business Staff page 34 Student Government page 36 Leaders' Group page 37 Scott's Hi-Q page 38 All School Show page 42 A Cappella page 43 Special Music page 44 Band and Orchestra page 46 Choral Club page 48 May Queen page 50 May Day page 52 Senior Play page 54 Junior Play page 56 National Thespians page 58 Clubs page 70 Hockey page 74 Football page 76 Cross Country page 78 Soccer page 80 Basketball—Boys page 84 Basketball—Girls page 86 Swimming page 88 Wrestling page 90 Rifle page 91 Cheerleaders page 92 Track page 94 Baseball page 96 Tennis page 98 Sports—1956 page 102 Class Advisors page 104 Class Officers page 105 Class Executive Com- mittee page 106 Who's Who page 108 Seniors page 150 Service and Scholar- ship page 151 Class of '57 page 157 Class of '58 page 163 Junior High Unit AIRPLANE SCHOOL LIFE ON THE HILL Parents and students at School and College Night: U.D.'s gym its pride and joy: Mr. Mays.

Tyson “Who as teacher, principal, and super- intendent has directed their course through many years. “Who thinks and plans for the com- munity and its children. “Who by faith in his school family, gains their loyal support. “Who. through his tireless devotion to the cause of education, may be identified as Mr. Upper Darby himself. The class of 1956 salutes you. Mr. Tyson. 16 PRINCIPAL DR. JAMES E. NANCARROW Dr. James E. Nancarrow stepped into the spotlight of the first ring in 194 as principal of the Upper Darby Senior High School. Since then he has stayed right in the center of things. His presence is always noted at all school functions: he is one of the most loyal rooters for all the teams: and he is especially concerned with iIk general welfare of the students in the school. The spotlight of the second ring shines on Dr. Nancarrow for community service. In 1954 he was presented with tlx Optimists' Award. In the third ring tlx spotlight shines equally as brightly, for Dr. Nancarrow holds many positions on the state and national level. He presides as president of the Pennsylvania Branch of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and is president of the Principals' Department of tlx Pennsyl- vania State Educational Association. In addi lion he represents the Middle States Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools on the College Entrance Examination Board, and holds membership in the Head Masters' Asso- ciation. Friend and counselor. Dr. Nancarrow gives of his time and energy to the betterment of Upper Darby. 17 FACULTY ADMINISTRATION Sealed. I. to r.: Mr. Ralph Andersen. Mrs. Edna Danehower.

President Dilworth speaks at the dedication of the new athletic field. The members of the Board of Educa- tion truly deserve applause for continued efforts in making the citizens of Upper Darby Township proud of their schools. Included in the Board's program are regular monthly meetings, led by the president. Dr. George G. Dilworth. who. because of his contributions in the past, was re-eiected in 1955 for a fifteenth term. At the present time, much en- deavor is being placed upon a project for the construction of a new junior high school, the final step in fulfilling the need caused by a rapid growth in popu- lation. Its completion, planned for the year 1957. will by no means bring an end to the work of the Board members, who are constantly seeking new areas for improvement. CADET TEACHERS Miss Belly Miadics helps a student in sewing class. Mr. Robert Old. taking over Mr. Hamsher’s English class. Learning by teaching, cadets from several nearby col- leges became acquainted with the routine at Upper Darby. After a period of observation, they took their places before classes, assisting both students and teachers. Their work was not limited to the classroom, for they were often seen performing duties in such places as study halls and tlx attendance office. It cannot be denied that the cadet teachers have con- tributed much to tlx school life with their friendliness and profitable instruction. L. to r.: Mrs. G. We'ant. commercial: R.

Our efficient secretarial staff came earlier and stayed later than most stu- dents. The many duties of tlx different offices kept the secretaries busy. Whether working at a mimeographing machine, typing a letter, filing a report card, sorting mail, or taking the telephone messages, the secretaries were an essential part of the smooth functioning of the school.

Joe Zakiewicz and John Rutkauskas William Coulter Under the direction of Mrs. Vickers, the cafeteria staff prepares lunch platters for hungry teachers and students. They also plan the menus for the various school banquets. Because of their conscientious work, our cafeteria is always kept in tip-top condition. It is the duty of the maintenance staff to keep U.D. clean. They handle this large order very capably under the supervision of Mr. Charles Butterworth, Superin- tendent of Buildings and Grounds.

They especially en joyed the antics of Bucksy. the comic strip created by Joe Trimble, art editor. This year, as always, the editors and staff worked hand-in- hand to produce an accurate record of events at Upper Darby High. Mrs. Slick and Bill Dixon consult. 28 THE OAK Sitting. I. to r. N.

The Executive Committee of Student Council met every other Thursday morning in Room 6} to determine council policy. Most of Council’s business is originated in executive committee and discussed there before being brought up in Council for action. The executive committee is composed of officers of Council, the chairmen of the standing committees, and the advisors. It can be compared with the board of directors of a company inasmuch as its main purpose is to direct Council. The Bobcats playing for a dance after a basketball game. Another Student Council project, the pep rally before the Haverford game. 55 LEADERS’ GROUP The Leaders' Group, under the direc- tion of faculty advisor Mr. Andersen, with the capable assistance of Douglas Leathern and Nancy Alderfer. stressed scholarship, leadership, service and character as its qual- ifications for membership. This year, ap- plications for membership not only con- sisted of a letter stating the reason for wanting admittance into the group but also a form which was filled out by the applicant and admission was granted if the required qualifications were held. The objects of the 1956 Leaders were to help Mr. Andersen during study periods, to assist at pep rallies and to exert benefi- cial aid to their fellow classmates. The trip to Washington was one of their outstanding events of the year. Doug Le.ithem, Mr. Andersen, and Nancy Alderfer confer about the Leaders' Group. First row. I. to r.: Lenner. Sand.

Tlx members of Upper Darby's Scott's Hi-Q team, using brain power as their de- fense. put their heads together in an effort to win points for the school. The team members, who were Dick Kaplan. Marvin Katz, Martha Noel, and Phyllis Penny- packer. managed to gain a total of seventy- six points in three rounds, thus giving Upper Darby a tie for the fifth place out of twenty-one. Sponsored by Mr. Paul Coffey, the team was tied for first place after tlx completion of the first round. Unfortunately, Upper Darby was unable to hold the top honors, which were given to the three highest schools—Swartbmore. Nether Providence, and Springfield. Nevertheless. Upper Darby can be proud of having students capable of answering so many of the seemingly 'im- possible questions. Quizmaster Bob Johnson asks a puzzler of Marvin Katz. Phyllis Pennypacker.

No one will ever forget the many laughs given us by the clowns who were the master and mis- tresses of ceremonies in Ain't Misbehavin'. The Can-Can dancers really pepped us up (although we wondered if their shoes were going to sail into the audience) and the hilarious blind antics of the horses helped make the show a famous production. The precision march of the Wooden Soldiers and the rag doll movements of the Raggedy Ann and Andys lent the festive touch to the evening.

Outstanding among the many programs they played were the Lions' Club Show, the opening of Schoolmen's Week at the University of Penn- sylvania. and the Mendenhall Memorial Concert. They combined with the Choral Club to present the annual Christ- mas concert. They also played at Lansdowne-Aldan High School and at our junior High. Sitting. I. tor.: J. Burdo. J. Harris. R. Greene.

Three mornings a week they practiced their football halftime drills with the majorettes and color guard. At the games, when spirits were low. the familiar strains of ' Rock Around the Clock” and When the Saints Go Marchin' In” brought the spectators to life. The band's work didn't end with the football season. They combined with the orchestra to play at many concerts and assemblies. They also partici- pated in various parades throughout the year.

In the spring the chorus presented a musical program for the Upper Darby Forum, appeared in the I.ions' Club Show, and i CHORAL CLUB sang at tlx Rotary International Convention, which was held in Philadelphia. On February 4. tlx Choral Club held its annual party, the Steel Pier Frolic. The officers who planned this activity were Arthur Saxon, president: Arlene Goldberg, secretary: William Meade, treasurer. Tlx accompanist for the Choral Club was David Renner. THE MAY QUEEN AND HER COURT THE 1956 MAY QUEEN. EOIS LENHARD. May Day. with all its pageantry and spirit, was a day never to be for- gotten by everyone at Upper Darby. Excitement mounted from the day of nominations for May Queen until the last event of May Day. when the winning color team was known. This year, nominations for the honor of May Queen followed a new procedure. Sixty-seven girls were nominated in homerooms and screened by the senior executive committee. Then a final list of twenty-four girls was presented to the senior class in a traditional assembly. Each nomina- tor gave a prepared speech which stressed the high points of the candi- date’s qualifications, including attrac- tiveness. character, leadership, schol- arship. service, and all-around per- sonality. May Day officially began when last year’s Queen. Judy Wells, placed the crown on the head of the new Queen. Lois Lenhard. A special group of sophomore girls honored the Queen and her court with a Maypole dance while junior girls followed with a novelty dance. Then the entire stu- dent body executed the drill with almost perfect precision. Afterwards. Loey presented the banner to the captains of the winning team. During the rest of the afternoon both teams struggled to win the va- rious contests. Relay races, tugs-of- war. a pie-eating contest, and soft- ball games ended a glorious May Day. 48 The girl who is following in her sister's footsteps but using her own power is Lois Lenhard. who was chosen to reign over the annual May Day exercises as 1956 queen. Loey was elected for her beauty, athletic ability, character, honor, and service. Loey. a three varsity letter winner, has been active in Thespians. Hi-Y. Class Committees. All School Show Production. Leaders’ Group, and the A. A. Council. The girls in the May Queen s Court were elected also for their attrac tiveness. friendliness, honor, and service. Marilyn has served in many ways giving much of her time to Hi-Y. where she is vice-president, and to the cheerleading squad. Arlene has worked in Thespians, having the leads in our class plays, and in A Cappclla as a soloist. Ann has been our class secretary for three years and has lielped to make our swimming team cham- pions. Franne. another one of our peppy cheerleaders, has served as a captain of the squad and worked on all of our class committees. Most of Beth's time has been devoted to tlx Acorn, where she is features editor, but six has also found time to work as secretary of Hi-Y. Lois, who should be named as the sweetest girl in our class, worked on council and as an officer in several clubs. Marie has given her talents to the typing staff, serving as president this year, and to numerous class committees. Ivy has done much hard work as president of Hi-Y. and was also elected as All School Show Queen for her sweet voice. Acclaimed most popular. Doris has worked as a cheerleading captain and as a member of the Oak staff this year. Brenda served two years on Student Coun- cil. acting as secretary this year and is an active member of the Thespian Society. These girls have all done much to make Upper Darby a wonderful school and are highly deserving of this honor. k4 ARLENE BELEFONTE ANN CARTER 49 MARIE MUT ER IVY SIEGFRIED DORIS TUBBS BRENDA VOGEL MAY DAY Lilt : The gym drill highlights May Day activities.

Monsieur Jourdain. who is swindled out of his for- tune by a scheming count, was played by Marvin Katz. The entire play revolved around Jourdain’s attempts to become a Person of Nobility.” So blinded was he in this steadfast desire that he was unable to discern all laughable situations which went on behind his back. The success of tlx play can be attributed to the hard work of cast and crew, and the able leadership of Miss Frieda E. Reed, director and Miss Maizie G. Weil, technical director.

It was a rollicking satire on the foolishness of M. Jourdain. who used his money in an attempt to become a gentleman. He hired many masters to teach him the arts, but all he did was make a fool of himself. He could easily be called a social climber. About six weeks of preparation went into this play written by Moliere. The scenery and costumes, including wigs, were all made by thespians. apprentices, and a few non-thespian helpers. The make-up was done by them also. The professional quality obtained in our plays must be credited to Miss Reed’s and Miss Weil's true love for the theatre. If it weren't for them, our plays wouldn’t be as well-known in the community as they are. The stage crew members sec the stage for production. Here in action Sheldon. Alan Christman. Michael Ossar.

Gail Williams Policemen William Stuplin. Joe Elkins. Perry Price Student Directors Joe Elkins. Richard Mazza The story revolves around Mrs. Manningham. a frail and frightened young woman. Her husband Jack Man- ningham. a sly. polished gentleman, is secretly seeking a brooch containing priceless jewels. These jewels belonged to an elderly woman who Mr. Manningham had killed in the same house that Mrs. Manningham and he are living in now. Mrs. Manningham begins to think she sees and hears strange things. Her husband also finds stolen property in her possession. When Mrs. Manningham’s mind is just about ready to break, a kindly gentleman comes calling. The plot thickens as Mrs. Manningham learns that the gentleman is a detective and that he is in- vestigating a murder case. The climax of the play comes when Inspector Rough faces Jack Manningham. the villain of all the thieving and queer happenings, with tlx facts. Mrs. Manningham finally realizes that she is not going insane and that her husband is to blame for all her un- happiness. The play closes with Mrs. Manningham at peace with herself. Dan Kline.

MM Angel Street, by Patrick Hamilton, was the choice of the Class of 1957 for their Junior Play. It is the melodramatic story of a woman being driven insane by her criminal, sadistic husband. The entire action of the play occurs in a shabby house on Angel Street in London, in 1880. The play, under the direction of Miss Frieda E. Reed, was professional in quality. Under the guidance of Miss Mai ie G. Weil, technical director, and Mike Ossar, stage manager, members of the stage crew produced their usual high standard of work. The ability of the make-up. costume, publicity, and ticket chairmen, and the support and enthusiasm of the class made Angel Street a sparkling success.

Second row: Dick Kaplan conducting a regular meeting of the Executive Committee. With the beginning of the school year the 1956 executive committee went to work, meet- ing every Monday morning before school. They met with their class officers and advisors to dis- cuss the matters pertinent to their class. Much of the credit for the seniors’ successful dances and play. The Would Be Gentleman, be- longed to the hard working executive commit- tee members who headed most of the minor committees necessary to the promotion of class productions. Besides the duties mentioned above, this com- mittee also helped the Mothers' Group complete the preparations for the party given the seniors at the end of the year. On Memorial Day they placed wreaths on the plaques at the front en- trance. One of their most outstanding events of the year was the entertaining of Foreign Ex- change Students from nearby schools. Their last spurt of work for the class of 56 was in trying to make the Senior Final an occasion to be remembered by all that attended. 105 WHO’S WHO MOST POPULAR Doris Tubbs Jim Ritchie CUTEST COUPLE Tim Jefopoulos Ann Carter MOST TALENTED Dave Renner Ivy Siegfried MOST VERSATILE Bob Lecher Marty Noel WITTIEST BEST ATHLETES Larry Sharp Carol Fraps Jim Ritchie Loey Lcnhard 106 WHO’S WHO MOST DIGNIFIED Phyllis Pennypacker Bill Lorenz FRIENDLIEST Brenda Vogel Tim Jefopoulos BEST LOOKING Loey Lcnhard Bob Villiger PEPPIEST Doris Tubbs Bob Lecher MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED HARDEST WORKERS Ann Carter Dick Kaplan Nancy Aldcrfer Bob Waag 107 CLASS OF 1956 Mary Elizabeth Abbott 47-5 Revere Road Drexel Hill ACCOUNTING PURPLE—School: Upi Dah Art Staff 3.
