?4 lt£cct4 952 PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1952 WESTTOWN SCHOOL WESTTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA Ti elcowte... The auld class of ’52 be gang oot, but we wullna forget the yairs we’ve haed a’ Westtown. We maun juist look aboot a’ the past bonny times, and gie you a wee drap o’ auld lang syne. We hae so muckle to remember-the Senior Play, th’Operetta, the Shakespeare play, and the caperin’s o’ Capers. And we canna forget the sports- the soccer, hockey and basketball, the tennis and swimming, all o’ them in their saison. Come awa’ wi’ us noo, and see the dances, see us at the parties, at the camp suppers, and shack parties. See us in our more serious moments at meet- ing and Vespers. All this we be gang awa’ frum, but we wullna forget our Westtown. OUR UNFLINCHING MENTORS AND FRIENDS, PARAGONS OF PATIENCE AND GENEROSITY. Working together is even more binding than playing together; with our faculty we have done both. Their time wis ours—for extra help, advice, or just talk. We’ve some rare memories of their games, and the hilarious plays. Always they added the little extras that made our years at Westtown unforgettable. Seniors are cordially invited to Robin Hood’s Cabin” and again we share Master Dan’s hospitality. Never will we forget our association with him, in this, his second year as headmaster. We’ll remember and appreciate his friendly smile, the red tie he wears before games, but beyond these, his deep interest in us and his unending effort on behalf of W’esttown. Show ’em faculty”. . . Now girls, don’t strain your voices” . . . Don’t tell me now, I haven’t got my little black book”. . . There’s a college representative coming tomorrow”. . .a decided turn for plaids and founder of Tam Mac Gregor’s Day. Yes, it’s Teacher Rachel, Girls’ Dean and chief defender of equality for women, who has done so fine a job in taking care of her end of the house. With enthusiasm and judgment she has kept West End running smoothly. Master Charlie—we’ll remember his Gentlemen, please”. . . I have to ask my wife”. . . Ah-h, Hamilton”. But, seriously, we think of his able and sympathetic management of Boys’ End, as Dean. We appreciate his innate kindliness, his effort, but above all, his interest in us as individuals. As we leave Westtown, we go with a feeling of gratitude to these three who have played so great a part in our lives, that of teachers, advisers, but more than these, that of friends.

BBHII QQHD nnnrifiaa- . :■ v-::' OUR CLASSMATES AND CLOSEST FRIENDS, WITH WHOM WE SHARED THE EXCITEMENT OF OUR LAST YEAR AT WESTTOWN As a class we’ve hiked, play- ed softball, and skated. To- gether we’ve worried about colleges and the draft, and suffered from love affairs. Among our favorite memories we find the Senior Sextet, the School-Senior hockey game, the after dinner coffees, the Senior play and the Spring Formal. These, and all the others, will live as long as there is a class of 1952. imMi Occ% 'Dedicatee It is with genuine admiration and appreciation that the class of 1952 dedicates this Amicus to you. Teacher Rachel. our keen wit, often pleasantly startling and always appropriate, your fair and intelligent judgement of every situation, your inspired founding of Tam Macgregor Day, and perhaps most of all, your contagious good spirits are among the qualities that endear you to us. For your unfailing chapionship of our class, your coffee parties, and your friendship we are deeply grateful. Thank you for everything, Teacher Rachel; you have been one of the most important parts of our happiest year at Westtown. It is we who are honored to have Master A1 as the eighty- fourth member of our class. Those of us who have been in his history classes can add enthusiastically to the entire school’s appreciation of his Wednesday current events lectures. Beyond our gratitude for his teaching we admire him for his lucid mind and his invaluable guiding hand on Boys’ Council. His kilt and enthusiastic support of Tam MacGregor have added much to the spirit of ’52’’; the comradery we feel for Master A1 has played an essential part in making our Westtown years some of the best of our lives.

Coceta The class of ’52 elected Norm Keiser, Vicky Neave, Cassie Rothrock, Nancy Hickman, and Giles Gamble as their class officers. Norm, our president, is very active in many phases of Westtown life, among them two varsities and the Brown and White Board. Vicky, his 'girl Friday’ was vice-president last year as well as this. Cassie, acting as secretary, faithfully followed the meetings of both officers and class. The plea for just five dol- lars’’ was heard for some time at both ends as Nancy and Giles collected our dues. They both did an excellent job, keeping us out of the red. Some of the more exciting class doings were the Spring Formal, the Senior Banquet and the tree planting. Also, there were frequent senior hikes and parties. Through all these activ- ities we were led by our officers. Even now, their job, a lifetime one, is just beginning. It is their responsibility to keep our class together and to form the future reunions, and we know they will keep us going ’til we all fade away”. . .! f Vo .v mu mm KttOMMCOVi.v . « WVA ✓ POTENTIAL SENIORS, IN WHOSE ABLE HANDS WE LEAVE WESTTOWN From hymn sings to hayrides, the classes have taken the initiative for special projects, while supporting the regular activities with enthusiasm. They worked hard with the Seniors and alone, for the success of dances, games, parties, co'm- mitteee and councils. Life may have been hectic for all con- cerned, but it was never dull for groups with the ingenuity of Westtown’s underclasses. The class of ’53 found itself second in importance when it returned last fall. When the election returns were announced, Lou Matlack was president, Helen Richardson vice-president, and Kirk Jones and Barbara Rusch as secretary and treasurer respectively. During the year many of the class have shown themselves very capable. Council had Penny Penfield, Catherine James, Janet Hetzel, Lou Matlack, and Dick Trisman as representatives. Brenda Dessau and Doug Kinsey were on the Service Committee. Pat Hunt and Ralph Fairchild helped run the Steering Committee. Also, First Class was represented on the Brown and White. They were outstanding in the realm of sports, contributing many members to hockey, soccer, basketball, and other varsities throughout the season. This, the largest class at Westtown has proved to be both quantity and quality.

' Second Class is well on the way to being a fine Senior class. Four boys are on the varsity soccer team and five girls are al- ready on varsity hockey. Included in these are the class president and vice-president, Liz Kupp and Bob Strickland. Sandy Turner is the secretary and Carol Putnam collects the money. To keep Work Program running smoothly, Kathie Preston and Bob Hutchinson were elected. The Council members are: Beth Forbes, Danny Wills and Tom Van Arkel. Liz Kupp is also on the Religious Life Committee, along with Pat Smiley. The Service Committee, which made and sold those taffy apples in the fall, is helped out by four hardworking members, Janet Metzger, John Stefferud, Maya Alderson and Phil Stevenson. The whole class has participated in, and contributed much to all of Westtown’s activities. Even in the scholastic field Second Class does well, its members often appearing on the Honor Roll. In fact, this is a class which already, is functioning as a com- plete and united group.

A day student, Marian Bonner, was elected to do the secretarial work and Jim Forsythe, the treasurer’s job. Third class had its own Steering Committee, which planned all those parties throughout the year. Heading it were Dave Murtagh and Susan Rie. Also lending their talents to school organ- izations were Marcia Bell, Alice Willcox, and John Thompson, on Service Committee. The pre-high schoolers” greatly enjoyed the square dancing, under the direction of Teacher Louise Hart and Mr. Smith. And who can forget the cider service, supplied by Stone House and manned by Pete Hunter and Cal Smith? The eighth grade also had its hayrides, which were fun for all concerned. This whole group has, with their pep and interest, added a great deal to the school year for all of us.

After this honor, Westtown also met the All Stars in an exhibition game. One of the best games was with the Haverford J.V., which was defeated by Westtown, 1-0. Westtown also romped over its traditional rival, George School, 5-2. Climaxing the season, the Brown and White lost a hard fought game with Girard College, 3-2.

Ably captained by Joan Nicholson, and capably managed by Nancy Hickman, the first team got off to a slow start but ended the season with a tremendous bang downing West Chester’s undefeat- ed eleven as well as having won the right to appear in the finals for the Philadelphia Private School title. They entered the finals by beating Baldwin, Agnes Irwin, and Shipley to take their own district championship. The outcome of the finals was a tie between Westtown and Abington Friends for second place. Although they had never played as a team before this year, the Jayvees had a fairly successful season, winning a few more games than they lost. Led by Captain Barbie Miller, the second team definitely produced potential varsity players this year. The peppy Brown and White played some wonderful games, and the hockey season of fifty-one” was highlighted by high spirits and excellent sportsmanship. n Jan. 5 Swarthmore, Sec. c.

Some of the new boys gave the lettermen plenty of competition for their positions, but Colonel soon sorted out the varsity and J. V. squads, to be managed by Kirk Jones. The varsity squad is built around three returning lettermen; Ed Brown, Lou Matlack, and Hal Weaver, the captain. The team has the advantage of being slightly above average in height; this, and their rapidly developing skill should net them a better average that the eight wins and seven losses of last year.

CAPTAIN ED BROWN As spring approaches young Westonians’ thoughts turn to Baseball. With the weather getting warmer every day some are already beginning to get the feel of the ball and a little advance training. The 1952 W'esttown baseball team should be one of the greatest in the school’s history, with five returning lettermen and some excellent prospects.

Watching, one would see those who come down just for fun, the earnest enthusiasts and of course, the tennis team, coached by Teacher Mary. During the season there will be matches with Baldwin, Germantown, Wilmington, Moorestown, and most important of all, the one at George School, our strong- est rival. With those remaining members of last year’s team and some promising new girls, we hope to have a victorious season and are sure of lots of competition for everyone.

V. player was lost to graduation, and a full schedule is being planned by manager Joe Flanagan. The returning lettermen are Captain Dave Barclay, Bill Cadbury, Dick Trismen, Dick Vail, Norman Keiser, Giles Gamble and Ronald Bodkin.

TIME OUT FROM YE OLD ACADEMIC ROUTINE WHILE WE RELAX (?) AND HAVE FUN. As we forget for a while, the studying and the monthlies we turn to the excitement of an operetta, the frantic preparation for a play, or the more prosaic duties that go with Work Pro- gram. We look back at a year of parties, of hikes, of clubs and of “Concerns”, and realize how essential a part activities are of Westtown life. Student Sodty 'Pie idente To our Student Body Presidents, Nancy Wallace and David Barclay, belongs the credit for the success of this year. We were confident, when they took office last September, that they would do their best and they have guided the school through an inspiring and happy year. Nancy entered Westtown in her sophomore year and she has participated enthusiastically in various student activities, among them, Council, Work Program and A. A. Emphasizing the importance of strong mutual understanding and co-operation in student-faculty relations, Nancy, with her friendly grin and quiet manner, has done much to make the school year a better one. Dave had the honor of being one of the founding fathers of the Senior class. He came to Westtown in the eighth grade and has been active in all phases of Westtown life since then. He was on Council, two years on the varsity soccer team and twice on the tennis team. In the Senior play he did a fine job in a chief role. Without any doubt, he was extremely well prepared for the office of Student Body President and has done his best for a successful year. It was, indeed, an excellent best”.

The disciplinary system was similar to that of last year, with con- structive jobs done for detention and proctored by Council members. As an experiment, a system of Council proctors for for daily study halls was started and, with student support, was continued successfully throughout the year. Aside from these more routine jobs, Council was responsible for the Handbook; for the great success of the Christmas dance, given jointly with the Boys’ Council; and for the consideration given to student ideas, which were received via the suggestion box. This council func- tioned well as a unit, from September to the inaugural party, held in May, for their successors. BACK ROW: Philip Stevenson, Norman Keiser, Richard Trismen, Louis Matlack.

This council, under the leadership of Dave Barclay, achieved both goals. In the fall, the introduction of a non-hazing initiation was worked out by a competitive treasure hunt, in which all the boys participated. Later, Council sponsored the Handbook and the Christmas dance, and contributed several feeds” to boys’ end, as well as supervising all the committees and handling discipline. Council has strengthened the faculty-student relation- ship, and from the Council skit at the first camp supper until the end of the year has acted as a helpful and noteworthy part of Westtown life.

'P'totyicupt The Work Program, born during the war years, is still with us, doing its part toward balancing the budget. Its capable leaders, Anne Steere and Bill Cadbury, with the help of Russell Edgerton, Laurel Bunker, and Sue Thomas, have kept the jobs and the morale on a high level this year. Faithfully meeting every Tuesday after lunch, the committee, besides keeping the day-to-day jobs running smoothly, efficient- ly managed the extra crews needed for days such as those when Quarterly Meeting was held at the school. This has been an unusually successful year, due to the efforts of this committee and the cooperation of the students.

Marty Giessler, Agnes Thomas, Louise Hart, Eugene Hogenauer, and Arnold Ricks have enthusiastically assisted in many varied pro- jects, most of which were carried on to send a group of students to a Work Camp in Germany with our affiliated schools there. The Friday night food sales at girls’ end became a permanent feature, as did the paper drive, continued throughout the year. Weekend work camps, knitting, and correspondence with our sister schools abroad were continued along with the most important project of raising money for the Work Camp. This has been a year of experiments for the Service Com- mittee and, at the time the yearbook went to press, it looked as though they would turn out well.

The Boys’ Athletic Association, with Colonel” and Ernie Kalibala running the show, has had a busy and successful year. Their most important accomplishment was the establishment of a system of intramural sports, somewhat like that at girl’s end, con- sisting of Brown and White competition lasting the entire year. The meetings of this group were presided over by Ernie with Bill Oliver taking the notes and Norm Keiser handling the finan- cial problems, The following boys acted as managers: Cal Steven- son, soccer; Dave Willcox, swimming; Kirk Jones, basketball; Joe Flanagan, tennis; Don Savery, track; and Bill Oliver, baseball. The group decided on Varsity and J.V. award winners; planned the banquet, given in May, with the Girls’ Athletic Association; and kept the morale of the various teams high throughout the year.

With Barbie Miller and Whitey Wilson at the stern, the Steering Committee has done a lot to include everyone in their programs for socials. The heads were kept busy in their search for new ideas; thanks to the con- centration of the Steering Committee, we now have dancing with- out chaperones, a new idea to the school and one which, with the cooperation of the students, has worked well. Our hats off to the Steering Committee, one of the essential committees helping to keep the school on an even keel. FRONT ROW: Steffie Hetzel, Barbie Miller, Janet Hetzel.

The Brown and White Cheerleaders were at every game, giving their all. Last year’s squad, of Captain Barbara Miller, Mary Anne Kupp, Janet and Stefanie Hetzell, Janet McClure, returned and Joyce Hunter and Kit Woods were chosen to assist them as subs. The cheerleaders accompanied the spectators to George School and we owe part of our victory to their enthusiasm and loyalty. The same support which helped to beat George School continued, unwavering, through the entire year, which was marked by many Brown and White victories. anet TVtUtc Editor-in-Chief...........................................Elizabeth Hoag ’52 Managing Editor...........................................William Oliver ’52 Sports Editors..................Margaret Bruton ’52, Norman Keiser '52 Associate Editors..............Helen Richardson ’53, David Willcox '53 Louis Matlack ’53, Katherine Rothrock ’52 Headline Editor..............................................Carol Bacon ’53 Feature Editor.......................................Wiltrud Richter ’52 Typists............................Linda Johanning ’53, Fred Sawin ’53 Carolin Smith ’52, Henrietta Smith ’52 Circulation Managers................Anne Steere ’52, Dave F.

Bang! (That’s the Senior Parlor door). Sh-u-t—U-p!! (That’s anyone who’s inside the Parlor on Bee and Dub work week-end.) The most obvious change we discover is a female editor-in chief. A revolutionary board also changed printers last fall, after six- teen years. All this supposedly cuts out confusion, but. . .chaos ! Assignments are handed down from The Editors’’ on Friday, (supposedly). From then on, it’s a horrible, wonderful mess. Finally, by Wednesday a week, everything is at the printers and the board members are all sound asleep; then, two weeks of rest. The editors sigh, Only four more,” but now there are no more — not for this board anyway. The new staff can start counting off their issues now, with wishes for the best of luck and lots of fun from the Brown and White Board of ’51.

Sextet The Skyliners have been very active this year with their regular jam sessions on Friday nights as well as providing the music for the Fall and Christmas dances. Their enthusiasm is measured by the occurrence one Friday of a one hour and four minute improvization on When the Saints Come Marching In!” But the enthusiasm of the dance band is at least equalled by that of the newly organized Senior Sextet. Under the guiding hand of Master Hank Beebe the boys have appeared several times before the school harmonizing in the best barbershop tradition for an always receptive audience.

OtcAeAtta We heard a tuning up on A as the orchestra began its practice in the Casino every Tuesday and Thursday night. This year saw the addition of many new students’ talents and ideas which, combined with the excellent leadership of John Burrowes, now completing his third year as conductor of the Orchestra, proved to bring forth a most fruitful year of music. In October Doug Kinsey was elected President and Mary Anne Kupp Secretary-Librarian. This election marked a great step in the organization of the Orchestra into a more student directed group. The Christmas program and the now traditional playing of the overture for the Operetta constituted the highlights of the year in performances which were the results of hours of practice and were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Although the object of the club is to provide a musical organization for those not yet in Mixed Chorus, there were quite a few upperclass girls, and anyone who was interested in membership was welcome. As a result of the two regular weekly practices, the Club has become a well trained group and has been able to present several fine programs. Among these were the almost traditional Christmas program and a spring vesper service. The Glee Club also sponsored smaller informal groups, made up of girls who were interested in singing for pleasure.

Tftetu' $Cee With the arrival this year of Master Harold Beebe, the Boys’ Glee Club received a new lease on life. The object of the Club is to have fun singing informally. The interest which responded to the call for membership was good and 46 boys were enrolled. The repetoire of the group ranges from spirituals and classics to popular songs and blues. The school first heard the Glee club at a spring program planned by the music department. Within the club a Senior Sextet has sprung up, and this group, with Master Harold at the piano, performed throughout the year. yttCxeet @ nct4 A record number of sixty-five members saw Mixed Chorus flourish under the able direction of Master Harold Beebe. Accompanied on the piano by Teacher Sue Thomas, the Chorus presented a variety of programs throughout the year. The reper- toire consisted of religious music, notably some Bach chorales, Negro spirituals, semi-classical favorites, and holiday piusic in season. The highlight of the year was, of course, the annual Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The Mikado” was this year’s happy choice. An engaging plot, combined with the familiar gaiety of Gilbert and Sullivan songs, made the operetta a throughly enjoy- able performance for all concerned.

Scaccn ‘PCay As the curtain went up on this year’s senior play, time re- traced itself and the audience found itself back in the 19th century with Harriet Beecher Stowe and her hilarious family. Though the play’s plot was basicly serious, Calvin, played ex- cellently by John Buttrick, brought humor to the stage. The part of Harriet was split between the second and third acts and the younger was acted by Anne Moore, while Rosalind Kennedy portrayed the famous author at an older age. Anne Steere was excellent in the role of Catherine, Hatty’s unmarried older sister, as was Dave Barclay, Hatty’s father. The minister brothers were numerous and delightful. These with the seven- teen other parts, made up a heartwarming cast of real people. With amusement we remember Calvin’s remarks: among them ’’The Lord has obviously intended Hatty for a literary woman and who am I to oppose the Lord?” Both in and out the play was a great success, and our many thanks go to Teacher Agnes; Master Bernie; the make-up cos- tume, properties, and stage committees whose time and effort contributed a great deal toward making it what it was. The lower classes, under the inspired direction of Master Bemie Haviland and Teacher Agnes Finnie, performed, on Alumni Day, the traditional Shakespeare Play. This year’s selection was the frolicsome ’'Much Ado About Nothing,” which hasn’t been acted here for several years. The entire school, kept in suspense by the whims of the weather would have as much enjoyed the squabbles of Beatrice and Benedick and the wiles of Dogberry if rain had forced the cast out of the Green- wood and into the auditorium, for after a good many weeks of concentrated hard work, the Shakespeare Play cast, in the best Westtown tradition, again produced an excellent play. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I BACK ROW: John Morrison, Homer Franck, Harrison Caplan, George Baer, John Stefferud, Robert Cdnetta, Teresa Jacob, Charles Thompson, Neil Plass, Joyce Lower, Douglas Kinsey, Fred Sawin, Master Bernie Haviland.

'itutcLycuute @Ccc The Brandywine Club started its second year quite success- fully, with a trip to London Grove Meeting, followed by a hike to the Stargazer’s stone, that afternoon. During the year there were many other hikes and trips taken; among these were the annual trip to Hawk Mountain, and the bird trip to the New Jersey coast. Both of these trips were sponsored by Westtown’s Bird Club. A trip to the Longwood Gardens was also enjoyed by many of the students. During the winter months, exhibits were set up in Central for the enjoyment of everyone. The Club hopes to stimulate added interest among the students in the future.

Now it not only does this, but is in charge of the projectors and other equipment owned by the school. The two long standing members of the crew are Fred Sawin and Henry Pownall, each having three years of experience with their facul- ty advisor, Harrie Price. The stage crew plays a vital part in such productions as the operetta and the plays, in addition to to helping the Saturday night performers and setting up the apparatus of the lighting of dances. Although unpublicized, theirs is a very important job. f4wticu The Amicus Board got off to a solid if not flying start this year after the appointments in the spring. Those of us on the board have had some rather startling ideas, some of which mater- ialized, others of which were overruled—we’ve had an unusual class to please! What with class colors of plaid and white, a stag to mix with ’em, and a be-tartaned pair of class sponsors, our work would appear to be cut out for us. But it never occurred to anyone else to have plaid strewn through their yearbook, and we had rather a hard time convincing our printer that we hadn’t been completely transported to bonnie Scotland! However, with Master Harrie literally behind it all, Rossi Kennedy and Bill Cadbury holding the reins as editor and business manager, Barb Jones and John Perera managing the circulation end of things, Vicky Neave and Don Savery getting the pictures taken, Peg Bruton producing the artistic additions, Phil How collecting the advertising, Nancy Horsfield eking copy out of her writers’ staff, Leila Smith urging her typists along, and last, but certainly not least, Anne Moore producing characteristics for a class of eighty-four, we’re confident that something at least interesting will come out of it all, and hope you’ve found it so.
