N 'Rx K.. 555.15 1 gil IF:-fu E VOLUME XVII Published by the SENIOR CLASS OF UPPER MERION HIGH SCHOOL GULPH AND HENDERSON ROADS KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA Foreword We, the seventeenth class to be graduated by Upper Merton Township High School, are proud to present, in the pages which follow, a record of our high school days. As a class, We have had many happy days together, we shared our joys and sorrows. We hope, however, through the contents of this annual, to recall th.e pleasant hours which We spent in our ALMA MATER. ..4.. Dedication One ot the highest tributes which we, as a class, can pay to one of our loyal and respected teachers is to dedicate our yearbook to that person. From our early days in junior high, including our final school year, this teacher has helped and inspired u.s to strive toward higher goals. Whenever the road ahead looked dark, he always had a smile. It we needed help, he was ready to lend a hand. As our class departs, We leave behind that someone who has done a great service for us in our school lite at Upper Merton. lt is with great pleasure that the Senior Class ot 1950 dedicates its yearbook to Mr. George I. Santoro, our .sincere friend. -5- R.,-wrguavgwqfs ,,,.,f,4-W gg.

' 1 1 , Y .- We Work Together . . . lt has been said that the most important resources of our nation are the abilities and talents of our people. To discover and develop these resources is the function of the Board of Education, the school administration, the teachers and those in special services. These units Work as a cooperative team. The Upper Merion Board of Education sets up the policies and supplies the means for meeting the educational needs of the community, The Administration, with the help of the teachers, translates these policies into educational practices and then helps the teachers to set up the learning situations which will develop the abilities of the pupils. The details of paper Work and record keeping are handled by the school secretary. That a sound mind may be developed in a healthy body, the health program is planned and supervised by the school nurse, the school doctor and the school dentist. A democratic school in which pupils and teachers plan together-an accredited school-graduates successful in college -graduates successful in jobs-all these things indicate a good school team in which each unit, the Board of Education, the Administration, the teachers and the special services are Working for the good of the individual pupil. -9.. 1 i , Dr Warren H Cocklm, Superinienclent ol Schools P eric A Baelir Lester Rinehart, Marion D, Myers, Darwin S.

STRIMEL King Manor -10- To the Class of l95O: The services of a school are meas- ured largely by the quality of its products. You are the most recent graduates of Upper Merion and we take justifiable pride in you as the products of our school. We hope that what happened to you in Upper Merion as you grew from children to young men and Women was pleasurable and that your experiences in school have prepared you for Whatever situations you may meet in your adult life. With these hopes go our sincere Wishes for full and rich lives. Sincerely, WARREN H. COCKLIN, Superintendent B. S., Franklin CS Marshall College M. A., University of Pennsylvania D. Ed., University of Pennsylvania Class of 1950: When you Were about one year old, you attempted to take your first steps. This was a serious experience and you had some difficulty. At first you leaned on chairs and tablesg you falteredg you fell downg you cried. Mother or Dad picked you up and petted you, and gave you encouragement. At last you walked alone from object to object, and you were proud. Your twelve years in school have been similar to learning to Walk. You needed help and you got it. Sometimes it was sympathy or advice or even a scolding. At last you have made it. Now you are about to take your sec- ond series of steps. Many of you will go in different directions. Iust how will you Walk? Will it be to the left of the road, or will it be to the right? My Wish for each one of you is that you Walk straight ahead on your chosen road. Walk with your heads held high in the direction that will bring you the greatest happiness, good health, and much success. Sincerely, ROBERT R. STRINE, High School Principal B. S., Ursinus College M.

You were finally starting school and you just had to have a lunch kettle and school bag in order to be ready to go. Remember those knickers and the socks up to your knees, fellows? Didn't you love to pull your favorite girl's pigtails? Oh yes, girls! Every time the wind was chilly Ma insisted on leggings. You didn't like leggings? Well, there were always those horrid long woolen stockings as substitutes. Every morning was inspection time. Teeth brushed? Ears clean? Dressed warmly? Now you were on your way! The teacher's job was to take off snowsuits, golashes, sweaters, etc .... then she would start the class. Slowly you learned everything from the A. B. C's to the con- struction of spitballs, and by the time you reached fourth grade you were an all-around big shot. Recesses were grand. lt took five extra minutes to get settled after a ten minute recess, twice a day. How many times did you throw part of your lunch away when the teacher wasn't looking? It was a good thing she never caught you. Time went on. Ring around the rosy and blind rnan's bluff days were over. You had started junior high school. Teachers were all new to youg you got the low-down on every one of them directly from student voices of experience. This one was cranky, but that one was swell. Funny thing, but they usually were just the opposite. All of it depended on yourself. In the last five years, you have become so accustomed to high school life that it is a part of you. Now this phase of life has ended and will be placed in your book of memories. Little incidents, which at one time meant so much, will be amusing to you sc ne day. The door of life is opening wide. With it come the opportu- nities to achieve your goal. May your great ambitions be kindled to flames which never die. The world is yours! Take into it all of the happy memories ot childhood and, when you wish to rerninisce, open one of the greatest of books, your own Pioneer -21- EDWARD FRANCIS COSTELLO President, Class of 1950: Class Orator, Band 8, 95 Booster Club 115 Class Officer 7, 125 Sophomore Hop 105 Sadie Hawkins 115 Hal- 1owe'en 125 Grapevine 9, 105 lunior Honor Society 95 Senior Honor Society 125 Iunior Panel 75 Senior Play 125 Stage Crew 125 Student Association Officer 115 125 Yearbook Officer 125 luni-or Play 115 Projection Club 10. 11, 125 Prom Committee 11.

Extra- curricular Work was out of the question! Now, teachers, parents, and pupils, see things differently. They realize that other activities are very important in school life. The informality of an activity program develops self-confidence and stimulates a student's interest in a particular hobby. Informal studying often helps a personality. At the same time, it gives a student a chance to express himself and share his ideas with others. We are very fortunate in having a large variety of activities from which to choose. Our program is larger than many schools ot our size. Approximately seventy percent of the junior-senior high school attends at least one club. However, there is much room for expansion in each club, and next year the sponsors hope to have every pupil enrolled in one or two different clubs. Preparation has already started, in some clubs, for future projects, and all promise to offer the best in Worth-while interests for Upper Merion pupils. -.5g- Standlnq Knaphle, Anqstadt, Mr. S. H.

Hats off to the Band Council, a very Worthy Band This past year has been a banner one for the Upper Merion High School Band. Each member has done his part to make the band bigger and better.

Five talented members of the band were .selected to participate in the Southeastern District Band, at Souderton, on Ianuary l2, 13, and 14. The Spring Concert, on May 26, was very successful.

Senior Panel The panel has come a long Way .since its organization tive years ago. Under the leadership ot Mr. Frank C. Yutz, its members make up the governing body ot the school. The main obiective ot the panel is to discuss student problems and to try to remedy them. Requests of the student body are brought before this organization and, after much consideration, are laid before the administration for a decision. The panel provides a democratic background tor school lite and, at the same time, stimulates the student's interest in a form ot government which he will come in contact with as he gains the knowledge of the outside World This year, the panel has set up a Student Scheduling Activity Committee which has improved the activity period problem a great deal and has stimulated students' interests in a particular club The panel deserves a lot ot credit tor its achievements during the past year since We know it will continue to do the good Work that has made it so outstanding. -72- Standing-Auch, Silcox, Hensley, Pires, DeVore, Mr. Robert Brackin, Sponsor, Shillady, Hendren Seated-Scout, Perkins, Schaffer, VVoltrom, Fulton, Althouse, Strausser, Beidler.

Senior Chorus Singing is everyone's enjoyment, whether they know much about music or not, but the senior high chorus increases one'.s knowledge of good selections, as well as providing enjoyment for its one hundred members. At Christmas time the chorus presented a cantatag all of the old familiar carols were included. Later, the senior class choru.s entertained at Valley Forge General Hospital. The annual Spring Concert, held early in May, was an out- standing event. Blending with the music were the girls' lovely gowns and the attractively set stage, bedecked with palms. According to tradition, the senior members of the chorus rendered their last selections at Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises. All in all, the year was a very beneficial one with lots of work, but a great deal ot fun. -75s. Back Row-Harris, Murray, Bickhart, Harkins, Brady, P.

One of the main projects was the refinishing of picture frames. Paintings by art students were put in the frames and they were placed on walls for classroom decorations. May 6 was a big day for the Art Club. After much preparation, the group was on its Way to Hyde Park, West Point, and New Ycrlc City. The day proved a very educational and entertaining cne.

But M'Liss Won the hand of the school teacher, Mr. Gray, played by Walt Greiner. lrvin Lownes was her father, George 'lBummer Smith, the lazy westerner who had hope of finding gold in one of his mines someday. The part of Mrs. Lena Moffits, the noisy, old woman, who owned the Roarin Dog Hotel, Was played by Louise Robins. Mary Cyrus portrayed the role of her daughter, Clytee Moffit, who lost out in the triangle love affair. The sly city couple who planned the murder of Bummer in order to gain the fortune left to him was played by Doris I. Thompson, as Clara Hunting, and Ed Costello, as Carter Langdon. We will never forget Doris Dilks, as Bess Starlight, a dazzling actress who played havoc With the heart of Yuba Bill, Bill Berry, a comic cowboy. Iohn Paravaty added to the Western effect by playing his guitar. Al Durkee was extremely amusing as ludge McSnaggley who did everything l'accord'n' to the statoots! And so another senior play goes down in the minds of the students as a great success. -g5- i Standtng Henning, Hrusovsky, Soppick, Miller, Murphy, Matzik, Burke.

Being responsible for the success of the etforts of others, as Well as their own success, is a very important and unseltish Way in which the stage crew cooperates. Everyone works together as the backbone for stage settings at every program.

This year there Were more declamations than in any previous year. The group rehearsed for many hours to prepare an enter- taining and varied program.

Two people from each home- room were elected to serve on the committee. They were very succsstul in planning the schedule and, as a result, students have been able to see good assemblies given by homerooms and other organizations. The Assembly Committee is another step in broadening the democratic system practiced at Upper Merion. Its success depends on every student and we know that, in the years to come, it will be one of the most important clubs ever developed. 190.- Standing-E.

Originally there were five sections consisting of about seven schools each. Later, Section Six was formed consisting of Bridgepcrt, Conshohocken, North Coventry, Spring City and Upper Mericn. Because several schools dropped out of Section Six, it became necessary for our school to align itself, tor athleti-c competition, with schools in another section. Consequently, Upper Merion was placed in Section Two, composed of Collingdale, Darby, Lansdowne, Media, Radnor, and Yeadon. Upper Merion teams will face stiff opposition in the new set-up because, as seen by the chart, every member school in Section Two has a larger school enrollment than Upper Merion.

Nineteen member schools in the suburban area are doing a good job of promoting better athletic relations between these institutions. -95- Standing-Mr. George Santoro, Assistant Coach: Seder, Toth, Scheetz, Picarelli, McKernan, Grabowski, Palm, Malloy, H 'l'ealord, 'l'.

They had some tough luck and didn't gain too many victories, but tied those all-important games with Conshohocken and Bridgeport. No one who saw the game with Bridgeport will ever forget that spec- tacular touchdown in the first few seconds of the game. We can look forward to seeing an up-and- coming team next year, since many of the boys who have experience are from this season's sopho- more class. Also to be added is a very prospective group from the junior high school. COACH CAMPION ... 96-. Standing-Sue Davis, Shine, Markland, Smith.

Girls' Varsihj Basketball This year the Girls' Basketball Team, under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Bizilia, had a successful season. Spirit and teamwork led the girls to seven victories and only two defeats, Berwyn and Phoenixville. No one captain was elected tor the entire season, however, at each game there was an honorary captain who played a good game in leading the team to a victory. Losing only three seniors, we are sure that next year's team will be undefeated. With the help of the underclassmen, these three girls completed their last successful season of basketball: loan Fulton, Dolly Moloy and Virginia Shore. -103- l l Lett to Right-Knoebel, McKernan, Sector, Matzik, Titus, Angstadt, Cabe, Lilick, Rex, Weldie, Baker, DiCam1llo, Graburn, Manager.

We are a member school of the Philadelphia Suburban Iunior High School Athletic Association and, of the other schools in this association that We played, We defeated all but one, Pottstown. The team entered a tournament sponsored by a Delaware County club. The first game resulted in a victory over Sharon Hill, but Collingdale stopped the boys in the second game. Nine wins and two defeats is a swell record boys. Nice going! With the entire starting line-up moving into senior high school, there will be plenty of opportunity for able underclassmen to fill the vacant berths. -106- Coach: Mr. N. E. Raub.

Cheerleaders The peppy Spartan cheerleaders have led our athletic teams to one of the best years in the history of the school. Our cheerleaders, both junior and senior high school, are chosen by the student body. During the past year these spirited girls have proven themselves priceless in their ability to cheer the teams on to victory. Sis Williams, Captain of Senior High, was very faithful and efficient. We can look forward to these same girls leading cur cheers next year, all are underclassmen. The Iunior High Girls had a different captain fcr each game. This was a very good idea because it gave each girl the oppcrs tunity cf leading the group. Let's turn the tables and give this line bunch of girls a 'lgreat big cheer ! -109- SEURE SHEET IUNIOR HIGH BOYS' BASKETBALL U. M. Ir. High ........ U. M. ir. High ......,. U. M. Ir. High ........ U.

Our Alma Mater, our teachers, and our friends will soon fade into the past. Yes, we are leaving the halls of Upper Merion to enter a new and different field, a field of personal endeaver to become, we hope, co-operative, self-reliant, happy, and independent citizens of society. But this new phase of life will never cause us to forget our school life. Here we have developed mentally and socially to become what we are today. What we have learned will carry us through in any -career which we may choose. We are just begin- ning to realize how much our studies will mean to us in different fields of work. We also realize how dependent we were upon our teachers to guide us through the past years at Upper Merion. As We leave, We wish every underclassman the Best of Luck in everything he undertakes. Class cooperation is very important in a school career, and we feel certain that each and every class will be one of which to be proud. We also Want to wish our future sports teams success and hope that they will con- tinue to be the champs that they now are. And last, but not least, we wish to thank our teachers. We are very grateful to them for all they have done for us and look upon them not only as teachers, but also as sincere friends who have tried their best to help us in every possible way. We now say good-bye to everyone who has made our school years some of the best years of our lives. -115- Top Row Mr Karl S. Fries, Sponsor, Costello, Berry, Cairns.

The lucky juniors and seniors who went on an imaginary moonlight cruise, danced to the music of Ray Carr and his orchestra. The decorations were beautifully designed and constructed by the juniors as the result of months of preparation. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Strine, Mr. and Mrs, Fred Baehr and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Campion. Each passing year makes the Prom an even more important and popular part of Upper Merton. We hope that future Proms Will be as successful as the Prom of '49 -iter- Juniur-Seniur Prom 1950 April 28 was the biggest evening of the year for Upper Merionites. It was Prom Time and the gym was transformed into a beautiful garden, surrounded by a White picket fence. Horace Clyde and his orchestra supplied the music as gay couples, dressed in all their finery, danced to the familiar melodies. Receiving guests were Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Strine, Dr. Warren H. Cocklin and Mr. and Mrs. Darwin S. Wolcott. The decorations were some of the most attractive ever seen at Upper Merion. Not only was the gym attractively decorated, but also the refreshment room. We, the seniors, wish to thank the junior class for a Won- derful prom, and We hope that, in the coming years, other seniors will experience just as nice a dance in their honor. -119- - ,,... 5 - Q 1 - x7',1f ,1 1 ' ' tp' 7' f, .

Bus Service The transportation provided for the ,student body, by the Upper Merion Township Board of Education, ranks second to none in the state. The Upper Merion Contract, Carrier, Inc., has a fleet of five excellent buses to care for all school transportation needs. Its drivers are very cooperative in every respect, their safety is one of which their employers, Luther Evelyn and Oliver Hendren, may well feel proud.

The Class of 1950 is having its tenth reunion. Tables have been set up for a banquet in the gayly decorated gym and everyone is talking, talking, talking. They have much to tell, since many haven't seen each other for quite a while. Many classmates have become prominent in the business world. Isaac Burke is a building contractor. His very modern homes, being constructed near the Super Highway, are almost completed now. Iohn Paravaty and his Demolition Company are paving the way. .,--r a new settlement to be razed in the western part of the state: Qne of Iohn's partners in the company is Ioseph Hrusovsky. The Landscaping is done by Edward Collins and Richard Miller. Mary lane Valyo is explaining how her jet-propelled car reacts to the new atomic power gasoline. Listening intently are George Whitmore, an Indianapolis speedway champ, and lack Estock, the sensational used car dealer we hear about in all advertisements. At the upper end of the table, Doris Thompson, a nurse at Sandy Cove, is telling Helen Toth and Theresa Milice how well she likes the hair-do they have given her at their House ot Beauty. The salon is located next to Dolly Moley's taxi stand, near King of Prussia. A few of our loyal Merionites stayed and took their places on our school staff. Among those people are Doris Sabo, School Nurseg Loretta Estock, Secretaryg Ioan Fulton, girls' coach, Laura Posobiec, Librarian. Mary Novitski is Librarian at the Norristown Library, but is often seen here with Laura. A very serious discussion is taking place, and it sounds as though Francis Murphy is one of the leaders. By the way, Frannie is Upper Merion's coach and lately he has been priming his boys for their sixth consecutive basketball championship. Others in the discussion in-clude Ernest Toth and Iohn Katrina, professional golfers, Tony Roberto, the Phillies star pitcher, and Claude Collins, who has taken Bill Stern's place as sports announcer. Some of our classmates chose unusual occupations. OI course, every class has its undertaker and ours is no exception. Martin Ieffers is known as Digger throughout the township. He gets a lot of business from those in Al Durkee's position. You see, Al is Ringling Brothers' trapeze artist. As he swings, Iohn Larkins sings. It's really a great act. A few people came a long way to attend this reunion. Irene Andreyko left her Circle A Ranch in Texas to get here. On the way up, she visited Mary Cyrus who is Mistress of a large plantation in good ol' Virginny. Mary decided to come, too. Anna Iakielaszek flew from Europe, where she has been working as secretary to an aqnbassador. Rose Dayoc was the airline stewardess on Anna's p ane. -126- Class Prophecy Also attending is the ladies' bridge -club. This group of house- wives is discussing problem children. Members are Ginny Shore, Doris Dilks, Dorothy Anderson, and Rose Rossi. Rose is telling the women that her daughter, Veronica, takes piano lessons with Gloria Strickland, the famous pianist, and is doing very well. Musical talent comes natural enough in that family. The Daily News, edited by Susan Bader, has been running ads about the superb meals at Walter Greiner's drive-in res- taurant. The only trouble is, Walt eats X most of the profit. His two capable waitresses are Eleanor Vi 'e and Mary Ann Suzanne. After dinner, Walt's customers ge. .round the block to Ethel Smith's drive-in theater. What a setting! Even in this day and age most people find the stars more interesting than a double feature, but the parking lot is always full. A hush falls over the party as the entertainment begins. Leo Henning, the greatest comedian on television is Master of Cere- monies. Music is provided by George Matzik and his Hillbilly Band. First on the program is that great hypnotist, Irvin Lownes. You may be interested in knowing that Irvin studies theories in his spare time and has recently proven Einstein's all wrong. Next is Doris Davis's Fifth Avenue Fashion Review. Head designer is Catherine Hiscock. Catherine has just returned from Paris, where she showed much of her creative talent. Others in the review are Peggy Markland, hair stylist, and Eleanore Kurylo, in charge of makeup. All magazine features are sketched by Daniel Mainieri, who is responsible for the show's publicity. Dan also sketches ads for Bill Berry's Buick showroom. Bill is a successful engineer, but can't stay away from Buicks. From fashions to jokes, and with jokes Leo presents El Senor Sutherland and his talking dog. By the way, the dog is from Pat Shine's kennels where everyone goes for the best in thoroughbreds. Better hurry over, for I hear there have been several additions to the family. The entertainment is interrupted and everyone stands as a late guest arrives. It is none other than Edward Costello, our state senator, with Louise Robins, his private secretary and Ann Kovats, his receptionist. On the way to his seat, Ed. congratulates Milton Clark on his success in publishing a historic novel with hand painted illustrations. lack Soppick has mousetrap factories throughout the East and is doing a flourishing business. Speaking of traveling, Mina Farrell and Sarah Althouse have been around the world. Sarah's a Wave, and Mina entertains at theaters overseas. Leocadia Maciejewski came from California, where she trains students for secretarial work. The entertainment is just about over and -classmates are again bidding farewell. As they leave they make plans to return in 1970 for another class reunion. Good luck until then! -127- WILLIAMS WELDING SERVICE DR. AND MRS.
