TVeAt tyoiat Settlor 'ityiyA TOe t @Aeat FOREWORD A yearbook lives forever, as do the friendships made during these past twelve years. Treading our corridors are students from every conceivable en- vironment—“the poor, the weak, the strong’ united by a bond of friendship. Just as the Statue of Liberty is a national sym- bol of the freedom, opportunity, and friendship awaiting all who seek these in the United States, the clasp of the hands represents the friendship present in every phase of our American school hfe. Using this symbol of unity as our theme, we present the 1956 Garnet and White, hoping that it will help to keep these friendships everlasting. Polly K. Siiaw Ed'i tor- in - Ch ief 4 “Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to be free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door,” “To be a strong hand in the dark to another in a time of need.” ---Hitch Black 6 MR.

He has served as president of the Ches-Mont League since its organization in 1950.

As Director of Recreation in West Chester, he has long supervised the sum- mer playground programs throughout the bor- ough. His students, his colleagues, and his fel- low-townsmen salute “Mr. Zim upon the com- pletion of thirty-one years of service to the youth of West Chester. MR. CLARENCE Y. ZEARFOSS Mr. Clarence Y.

Mr. Zearfoss studied at Williamson Trade School and George Washington University.

In addition to his teaching, Mr. Zearfoss has had considerable ex- perience with industries such as Baldwin Loco- motive Works and American Rug Machine Company. In his earlier teaching career Mr. Zearfoss also coached both baseball and football. Upon his retirement from teaching, he hopes to return to industrial or trade work. The grati- tude and best wishes of his students and co- workers go with Mr. Zearfoss as he retires from a successful teaching career. 8 MISS LETTIE KELLER Miss Keller’s students will remember her patience, her absolute fairness, and her ex- cellent teaching. Her colleagues will remember her subtle humor, her loyalty, and her integrity. Innate simplicity and the dignity of her gentle spirit made us all her friends. When enrollment in the schools in- creases overwhelmingly, the problems for you and the school board also grow. Rarely do we, the students, have a chance to express our appreciation for the many toilsome hours the board spends to give each of us the best possi- ble education. You have made possi- ble the many things we often take for granted. The school directors have obtained the best for us, and we hope that in the future we shall prove that the pains taken by you in our behalf were not in vain. MR. NORMAN D. GEORGE President of the West Chester Joint Junior- Senior High School Board Guiding Hands The age of The Little Red School- house and the hickory stick has passed into one of million dollar buildings and classroom psychology. We of 1956 have found security in a world shaken by political, social, and economic indecision. We have been given the best possible educational in- gredients: a fine faculty and adminis- tration, and the most modern methods a nd equipment. We appreciate your help. Dr. Stetson, in providing these. They have made our high school days both happy and rewarding. 10 DR. G. AR THUR STETSON Allegheny College, B.S. Columbia University, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, Ed.I). Superintendent oj Schools MR. HAROLD H. WINGERD Princeton University, A.B. University of Pennsylvania, M.S. Principal When each member of the class of 1956 looks back upon his high school years, he immediately associates you, Mr. Wingerd, because of your sincere interest in each person as an individual, with his own personal problems and needs. This interest has helped every one of us in some way in our search for success and happiness on the long road to maturity. Your confidence in us as young adults capable of accepting re- sponsibilities both at school and at home will remain with us in the future. May we cultivate the high ideals that have become a part of us through your efforts. Guidiruj Hands January 3, 1956 was not only the re- opening of school after the Christmas vacation, but it also marked the day of a very important event for all of us— your arrival, Mr. Fray, as assistant principal. Your coming to West Ches- ter is proof of the expansion in the pub- lic school system, resulting in the need for another man to help with the vast duties of the principal. From the first day of your arrival you seemed to adjust quickly and with ease to our school system. Unfortu- nately, the class of 1956 was not able to know you as well as the future classes will, but we all have recognized that your able assistance has been an asset to the administration and the student body.

Three and a half years of hard work in this course is usually climaxed for a student during his senior year when he puts all ot his knowledge to use while being em- ployed in one of the business offices in the vicinity. COLLEGE PREPARATORY Ever since ninth grade when freshmen in the College Preparatory Course first read in Shakespeare that “All the world’s a stage, each student has realized that the well-rounded high school education offered by his course will serve as an important scene in his life after high school. Students who with the help of our guidance counselors pick sensible electives are well prepared to enter and succeed in the highest-rating colleges in the country. GENERAL Many students plan to enter a profession directly after high school. The General Course provides a curriculum which makes it possible for a student to specialize in electives which will be beneficial to him after graduation. If careful selection of electives is made, it is possible to be accepted into some colleges, trade schools, and nurses' training. CARPENTRY Present-day carpentry is a far cry from the crude work done by our ancestors. Now boys arc being prepared so that they can become specialists in this field. Most contractors give one anti one-half years' credit toward their apprenticeship to boys who have successfully completed their courses in theory of the trade, hand tool study, and home maintenance. Many of the students are permitted to work at the trade half-time during the last semester of the senior year. MACHINE SHOP Nothing can take the place of actual experience in operating many different types of machines. Before boys enrolled in this course actually have the oppor- tunity to operate machines, they must learn numerous facts and methods ac- quired by careful study of the machines. After completion of this mechanical training, boys are well trainedjor future industrial work. AUTO MECHANICS lo become a part of the automobile industry, boys leaving their senior year must be well trained in the manipulation of auto tools and equipment, construc- tion of the modern automobile, and the operation of the automobile. To achieve these goals boys gain experience in this field by mastering all types of tools and equipment in the automobile. AGRICULTURE After completing the agriculture course, hoys understand the methods for crop growing, caring for animals, and operating farm equipment. Each student taking the agriculture course is required to carry on a project outside of school. 1 his gives the students experience in caring for a crop or animal. Many of the students participate in the annual State Fair by showing animals. All of these outside projects combined with classroom study constitute the background to become a good farmer. v Continuing a hold-over streak of five consecutive victories from last year's team, the 1955 War- riors powerhoused their way through their first five games without tasting defeat. 1 hey rolled over Bridgeport and Phoenixvfile and eked out victories from Conshohocken and Pottstown before going down to defeat before a powerful Coatesville eleven in the rain and mire at Wayne Held. During the five game skein in which they remained undefeated, the West Chester gridders were, however, deadlocked in a 6 to 6 tie with Downingtown. The Garnet and White's only other victory was against a speedy Media team. The Warriors, finishing with a respectable log of five wins, three defeats, and one tie, rounded out their schedule by losing to Swarthmore and Conestoga. _ _ .... . The Garnet and White grid team was characterized by drive, determination, and lair play. This was evident by their winning the Bishop Sportsmanship Trophy, receiving 112 out of 120 possible points. This is the highest percentage awarded a team since the inception of the trophy. Orville March received the Most Valuable Player” award in recognition of his excellent punting and playing. Dick Wilson, the smallest man on the Warrior eleven, was awarded the Most Improved Player” trophy for his fine centering. Ray McGuirk, a junior, received league- wide acclaim and was named to the All Ches-Mont team at guard position. Several other West Chester players received second team positions and honorable mention. CROSS COUNTRY I he fleet-footed harriers of Coach Harold I. Zimmerman presented their retiring mentor an undefeated season of eight consecutive victories in regular competition. The hill and dale men rounded out one of the most successful cross-country seasons in school history by copping the Ches-Mont Champion- ship, the Marcus Hook Class B Street Run, and finishing third in the P.I.A.A. District I Meet at Cobbs Creek. Spear-heading this formidable aggregation of thin-clads were Ches-Mont Champion Ken Noel and co-captain Jack Williams. Pete Guinta, Neal Chappell, Bob Harris, Don Austin, and Nick Morse rounded out the potent cross-country team. Noel and Williams Cop Scoring Honors 70 ZIMMERMAN AWARD I he Harold I. Zimmerman Award will be presented each year to the out- standing track and cross-country athlete of the West Chester Joint Senior Iliah School. l'o be eligible, a candidate must be a member of both the track and the cross-country squads; he shall be either a senior or a junior in his last year of eligibility. The selection committee will be composed of the track and cross-country coaches, and the sports editor of the Daily Local News. If the committee finds two evenly matched candidates, co-winners may be named, but no more than two will be chosen. If no candidates are worthy, the award will not be made that year. The presentation will be made each spring, the first one being made during the 1956-57 school year. At the presentation, the contributions of Harold I. Zimmerman to athletics in West Chester, in the P.I.A.A. District 1, and in Pennsylvania will be suitably recognized. HOCKEY Under the expert leadership of Coaches Mary Belle Knouff and Mrs. Mary Ellen Evans, the 1955 hockey team had a very successful season. The varsity completed the season with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, while the Junior Varsity won 2, tied 2, and lost 5. Captain Nancy Guss is the only girl on the squad who earned her 3rd varsity letter. Other veteran varsity players are Parmie Max- well, Isabelle Ilighberger, and Pat Bortz. The most important win of the season was a 4-1 victory over Westtown. HOCKEY SCHEDULE Septeml er 29—Phoenixville. . .

High flying center, Joe Worrell, set a new school scoring record for a single season with 454 points. Joe also went to the top for his second straight year as the champion Ches-iMont scorer with 338 points. I he team worked together to produce a new record of 115 points in one game against Conestoga.

The Jayvees, captained by Nancy Martin, also finished the season with a record of two wins and four losses. Varsity captains, Nancy Sume and Hester Dorsey, formed the starting line-up for forwards, along with their sophomore teammate, Joan Fry.

Later a leather stocking called buskin'' stood for the tragedian. These two words, standing for the main divisions of drama, have combined to name the dramatic club. This group under Miss Ethel Reagan's direction has met after school. Early work was done on acting without words to improve ability. The club had no officers, but functioned with a stage manager and committee chairmen. These committees were make-up, acting, properties, and publicity. The groups often met separately. The purpose and goal of this club was working towards and putting into production the annual spring play. This year Time Out For Ginger was enjoyed by the students, faculty, and townspeople. 87 GARNET AND WHITE You have before you the result of much blood, sweat, and tears on the part of your yearbook stall. 1 he stall is divided into several major departments, each with a department head.

The group was conducted by Mrs. Mary Lou Schwartz; their accompanists were Linda Klose and Stephanie Miller. “H ho s Off Key Now? 93 ASSEMBLY HIGHLIGHTS 94 NEW CLUB PROGRAM Something new in club programming has materialized in West Chester Joint Senior High School this year. The students participated in one club meeting twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays the eighth period. At the end of six weeks each person had an opportunity to join a different type of club if he wished. The aim of the club program was to help the indi- vidual pursue present interests and develop new or ad- vanced areas of interest. Five hundred forty-nine girls and boys enjoyed ac- tive participation in one or more of the twenty-four clubs offered bv various faculty members. On the following pages we have tried to give a brief glimpse of the overall club program and the many opportunities it offers. 95 CHESS CLUB I he aim of this club was to learn the gen- eral principles and moves of the game of chess. Mr. Russell Urich, the club sponsor, helped lead discussions on advantages, de- fenses, rules, and openings of the game. The game of each member showed improvement by the end of the year. GAME CLUB The purpose of the club is to provide an introduction to various indoor games. In- struction is offered to those students who wish to further their skill. It provides an opportunity for a teacher- student activity with Mr. Leonard Krausse, Mr. John Nichols, and various members as instructors. CRAFTS FOR GIRLS The girls in this club have learned how to make many different handicraft articles. Some worked with felt, making collars and pocketbooks. Others made cotton rugs. One of the girls did a piece of embroidery work on burlap. These are just a few of the many projects undertaken. THREAD AND NEEDLE CLUB The purpose of this club, which is under the direction of Miss Liberty McClelland, is to give an opportunity to initiate or continue projects in hand sewing such as embroidery, needlepoint, and mending. The club periods are being used by the girls for their own per- sonal projects. Most of the members have a basic knowledge of hand sewing. I he Slide Rule Club was directed by Mr. Irvin Bietz, mathematics teacher. The mem- bers learned the difficult and complex manip- ulations of the slide rule. The club was opened only to the students taking trigo- nometry. The knowledge of the slide rule will be of much use to the students taking higher mathematics.

Each progressed and learned many new- things related to the art of tumbling. TYPING FOR BEGINNERS This club, under the sponsorship ot Mrs. Ralston, voted to have meetings conducted more like a class. They learned the keyboard anil were taught something of spacing and placement. The main purpose of the club is to learn typing for personal use; this in- cludes such things as personal letters and typing for school work. This will be especially helpful for those students who are going on to college and have not been able to fit a regular course of typing into their schedules.

It offered vo- cational work in connection with trade work, and built a foundation for eventual blue printing. HISTORY CLUB LIBRARY CLUB Mr. Roy Lady led a group of thirteen stu- dents in the discussion of topics of current in- terest. Chief among these was the United States' relations with other countries. Visual aids were used, including the New York Times film strips. At each meeting a student was responsible for showing and explaining the film strip. The library club was composed of people who had an interest in books. It consisted mainly of girls working on the library staff. The group designed the bulletin board for the interest of the pupils. They discussed recent books and reading material. The club was under the guidance of Miss Florence Schmidt, our school librarian. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA F. T. A. is a club for girls and boys who are interested in the teaching pro- fession. Miss Patricia Dixon, the club's sponsor, has been helping the members learn the qualifications for teaching.

The club has also been working on its constitution and by-laws and hopes to be able to join the State F. T. A. soon. WRITING CLUBS M iss Anna Baker led the Journalism Club members in the fundamentals of writing feature stories, reviews, and editorials. A speaker, Miss Patricia Dar- rogh, formerly ot the Inquirer, told the club about the newspaper world. 1 he Creative Writing Club, under the guidance of Miss Aldine Gearhart, shared their experiences and feelings in their writings. Some of these were re- corded. CAREER CLUB PUBLIC SPEAKING I his club was organized by Mr. Merle Labin to help those students who are not cer- tain what career they want to pursue and for those who want to further their understanding of career requirements. The members of this club have taken aptitude and vocational in- terest tests. They have visited Schramms to observe the different types of jobs available in a business corporation. Under Mrs. Barbara Ford’s direction, the aim of the club was improvement of pitch, tone, enunciation and pronunciation. Poise while speaking was also stressed. Some of the programs included records and movies on speech, extemporaneous speeches, anti speak- ers, one of whom was Miss Elizabeth Tyson from the local college speech clinic. GERMAN CLUB Although its members use text books and follow definite lessons, German Club does not have that classroom atmosphere so appalling to high school students. Much of the period is taken up in conversation, with time out occa- sionally for Mr. Neidermyer to explain a technical point. Club time is more than just chatting time, however; grammar is learned along with the vocabulary. ■ _ Alma Haler West Chester High, to thee our Alma Mater, Praises we sing, and pledge our love anew.
