“Camelot is everywhere symbolic of the gradual growth of human beliefs
and institutions, and of the spiritual development of man” —Tennyson

To us Lower Moreland has been, in a sense, our Camelot—a place of
growth and development.

Mr. William Wtt ipnt

Since the Elmleo represents so much of our school life, the class thinks it
most fitting to dedicate this book to a friend of ours who has been a very
definite part of our school years.

The Lower Moreland Township group of the class remembers that in
September of 1941, when they came to the high school, they were privileged
to bring their friend with them from the elementary school.

Because of his conscientious interest in school activities, his willingness
to assume extra duties for the classes' benefit, along with his many other
friendly gestures, we dedicate this book to Mr. Van Horn.

To the Class of 1947:

It is with real pleasure I compliment you upon the issue of another ELM-
LEO. Your attempt to make this book a true portrayal of your experiences in
Lower Moreland has been, indeed, successful. May this book serve as a
means of keeping you ever mindful of the most formative and happy years
of your life.

To each one of you I give my best wishes for a full life and a successful
career. It is truly my hope, as well as that of the faculty, that the many things
of your school life and work have brought you closer to your goal.

CLASS OFFICERS

RICHARD WARREN DIETRICK Rockledge
College Prep

We'll remember Rich, our tall dark senior class president, F
for many things—among them that fascinating dimple in his
chin and flashing smile. The Glee, Home Ec. and Varsity r
clubs plus the Elm Leaf claimed his interest. Trapping and
zoology seemed to be his favorite out-of-school pursuits. For­
estry at Penn State is one of Rich's chief aims.

It ?Iirr JJrnsitirnt
I

RICHARD YETTER 7

College Prep Rockledge

Dark hair and brown eyes with a certain lock about

them identify Rich, a self-confessed ladies' man. Rich enjoys

a good friendly argument but when he went into action on

i the football field and the basketball floor, he wasted no time

!

on words. His leadership in our junior year, his love of danc­

ing, and his talent for making and keeping friends really

make him an "all-around good guy."

S’rrrriary r

WILMA EILEEN FUNK r

Commercial Rockledge

Lovable, talkative, and full of fun—that's Willy. She's
very fond of music—good music—and puts the piano as top
on her list of likes. Willy's excellent commercial talents indi­
cate a successful future in her chosen work as a private sec­
retary.

airrasnrrr

JEAN AUDREY DANENBERGER

Commercial Huntingdon Valley

Laughing, lovable Jean, who is always full cf pep and
energy, is both popular and pretty. Jean has been a leader
in sports, as captain of our '46 hockey team, a basketball
guard and five years of cheerleading. Her dancing has been
the envy of all her friends. As a member of the senior play
cast, a May Day attendant, and class officer Jean has served
the class well.

■

DORIS ELAINE ROBERTS

Commercial Trevose

Likeable and athletic-but-feminine, Doris participated in
varsity hockey and was a gay cheer leader all through high
school. She was one of our most active commercial girls, tak­
ing part in not only typing "above and beyond the line of
duty," but in any activity at hand with a cheerful and willing
spirit. She can cut a fancy figure on ice and finds dancing
a good pastime.

WALTER BENNINGFIELD

General Rockledge

Limey's many friends can really appreciate the saying,
"Good things come in small packages," for Limey was def­
initely one of our class assets with his football, basketball,
and baseball ability. His special grin, snapping dark eyes,
and pep add to his popularity.

BEATRICE LOUISE PLANK

Commercial Rockledge

Bea is always friendly, dependable, and determined to
lose weight. Although with all her activities, social and other­
wise, we can't understand why she isn't really lean. In her
tenth and eleventh years she was hockey manager and ac­
tive in basketball. Her characterization of Aunt Maude in
"Spring Fever" added further to her laurels. Bea's smile, with
that brown eye-and-blond hair combination, is our idea of
an attractive personality.

13

I

GRACE LILLIAN BAXTER

Academic Rockledge

Grace is one of our athletic "sirens" who has a way of 4
saying just what she means in no round-about way. She has
been one of our most consistent workers—in studies, class £
activities, and sports where she excelled as a varsity mem­
ber of both the hockey and basketball teams. Her many ad­
mirers are not confined to the female sex, either. We have
proof of that—and proof that Grace is going to make a suc­
cess of whatever she tackles.

I

!

DONALD S. GREENFIELD

Academic Rockledge

"Greenie" is our short, good-looking mischief maker who S'
can be recognized by that irresistible grin. During school his
main interest lies in the Elm Leaf, but afterward his dancing
I feet lead him to all the local hops. Following commencement,
Don will enter Drexel Institute to learn to be a mechanical
engineer.

CLAIRE ADAMS ?
<
College Prep. Bryn Athyn
Z
Claire is our wise-cracking chatter-box whose interest in
music (and talent for same) made her a valuable Glee Club
member for four years. With her many interests, Claire finds
it difficult to "settle" for one profession, but to date it seems
to be that of a physical education teacher. Where will her
love of writing, drawing, acting—and driving fit into her busy
life!

14

College Prep. DONALD REED CRAUL
Huntingdon Valley

"Big Moose," one of the class's busiest athletes, is gallant
and daring. Having been on the basketball squad for three
years, he was rewarded by being captain in his senior year,
and also captain of our football team. His interest lies in
hunting and taxidermy. He hopes to enter Penn State in the
fall to study scientific agriculture.

Commercial BERNICE MADELINE KARL
Trevose Heights

Tall, serious Bernie is always neat and attractive, friend­
ly and sociable,—and never fails to answer a history ques­
tion. In between her busy working hours at H & H, Bernie ice
skated and did a fine job in the senior play. She claims she
has two current hopes—to try telephone .operating and to
own a horse.

WILLIAM MAHLON COBOURN Rockledge
College Prep.

Friendly and amusing "Corky," our Hi-Y president, hopes
to become an electrical engineer at Drexel Institute. His job
as a grocery clerk keeps him quite busy. His main likes are
bowling, chocolate sodas, cars, and especially traveling.

15

>

General LLOYD HEMINGWAY
Neshaminy Falls

Hemo seems to favor all forms of locomotion—dancing in­
cluded. We know his fondness for motorcycles, a blue Chev­
rolet of many, many birthdays, and an honest to goodness
plane which gives him claim to the title of our class pilot. In
addition to the feminine set, real estate is Hemo's serious in­
terest.

RUTH TERESA REIFF

Commercial Rockledge

Good looks and ability—an enviable combination, but
Ruthie has both—and we have proof. With her brown hair
and hazel eyes, Ruthie is one of our prettiest. Her unfailing
good humor is another asset. Her participation in varsity bas­
ketball, in hockey, and in class activities as secretary in our
junior year, plus three years of active work on the ELM LEAF
and the responsibility as editor of the ELMLEO certainly jus­
tify all the good things we say and think about this talented
member of our class.

Academic ALFRED GEORGE MUELLER •f
Trevose Heights
t-
Dark and handsome Al is the kind the girls (and fellows)
really go for. Perhaps his quiet, friendly manner accounts, Iv
too, for his many friends. Al's two greatest interests are ani­
mals and’ forestry. We should knowl Hasn't forestry been in ►
Al's future ever since we've known him!

16

EDWARD MINNICK

General Rockledge

"Ed," tall and dark, is our serious and civic minded stu­
dent. He was president of the Hi-Y Club during its beginning
in the school. While at school you will hear Ed's singing
voice which makes him one of our tenors in glee club. After
school hours he works in the Acme in Fox Chase but takes
time off for school dances.

NANCY MANN THOMPSON

Academic Feasterville

Nancy is one of those persons who is so nice to talk to
because of her varied interests and talents. If you want to be
intellectual, Nancy's right with you; if you want to talk sports,
she can speak from her basketball experience; if It's the do­
mestic touch you're looking for, just ask her about her sewing
and cooking. No wonder Jiggs goes about humming "You'd
be so nice to come home to."

I

RAYMOND HARVEY FOXALL

General Rockledge

Ray is one of those easy-going, good natured fellows W
with an even disposition. Probably that accounts for his pop­
ularity and his success as an Acme commando. Even five
years with his trumpet hasn't ruffled Ray. Glee Club and
shop were Ray's chief interests in school.

17

1

General EDWARD A. PASTORE
Huntingdon Valley

Eddie has always been a favorite with the ladies be­ i
cause of that wonderful smile, those funny faces he makes I
when he is teased, and his special brand of wise-cracks.
Shop, Typing, and Science Clubs and Safety Patrol were his v
chief interests in school, with skating (ice and roller) his fa­
vorite outside activities. If Eddie keeps that innocent expres­ <
sion he always wore when he was late, we know he'll get
by. v

MARIANNE JANET ROSCHER Rockledge I
College Prep.
I
So many things—all complimentary but true— could be
said of this demure petite young lady who managed the Elm
Leaf, played an outstanding game as basketball guard, and
always placed high on the "A" honor roll. Her femininity and
gentleness didn't prevent her from making hard and fast
drives on the hockey field any more than her artistic sense
and daintiness kept her from "digging in" on all sorts of
jobs, stage properties included.

Academic MERVIN WALLACE THOMPSON
Feasterville

Fun loving Jiggs was our vice-president for two years, 'j
our ninth and tenth. All through school Jiggs has had the
girls "swooning" but this year when he claimed Nancy as
his own, the rest gave up. In spite of his many working hours,
Jiggs found time to be one of our football stars and to enjoy
a good argument (with complications.)

18

ROY STANLEY DOAN

General Feasterville

At noon almost any day you'd think of nothing but
mashed potatoes when you saw Roy—and his triple starch
platter. In the fall you'd think of football when you saw Roy,
for he was a man of action on the gridiron. We think of Roy
as one of our most likeable good sports—with a very deep
voice and a love of cars.

SUSANNE DECK

College Prep. Huntingdon Valley

Susie pursues her even way with a smile and friendly
word for all of us—including those who spell her first name
so many different ways. Sue's talents are so varied we don't
know where to begin. She can sink a hockey goal one min­
ute, bake a delicious pie shortly after, and perform a chem­
istry experiment with the ease of an expert. Nursing is Sue's
chosen profession.

HORACE BLAKE PATTERSON

Academic Feasterville

Pat's good nature and -willing spirit have made him an
invaluable classmate on many occasions. Remember, too,
how he took charge of the record machine for us at noon
time and assemblies? Pat's ambition is to be a farmer—and
a good one. Perhaps, his excellent impersonations—of Donald
Duck, for example—will help, as will all the information
gleaned in Science Club.

19

NEWORK WILLIAM SHICK

General Trevose

Life holds many surprises for Nework, especially when I
he's cruising with Mervin in their '32 model. Life holds sur­
prises for some of Newkie's teachers, too, when he makes ■
some cf his unexpected and startling remarks in class. One
thing we're always sure of about Newkie is his carefully
groomed appearance—and his grey-blue eyes.

JEAN McDADE

Commercial Trevose Heights

Popular Jean, better known as Mickey, participated es­ 5
pecially in the work and fun of the Tri-Hi-Y, Riding Club, and
Safety Patrol. Although Mickey blushes easily and seems
shy, she has a host of loyal friends who relish her witty re-
marks. Mickey looks forward to being a secretary.

RONALD LESLIE THOMPSON 1

College Prep. Huntingdon Valley <■

Basketball, football, baseball, and senior play cast are !
just a part of the imposing list of activities in which Ronnie
has participated. His consistent place on the scholastic honor
roll should be a good indication of his success in his preferred
field of work—electrical engineering. Canada bom, Ronnie
expects to return to his "dominion" for his university study.

I

20

i

ANNA MAE DOWDELL

Commercial Trevose

This tall, slender blond is one of our most fun loving,
active, and outspoken class members. Anna Mae, who claims
she wants to be a hairdresser, loves all sports, especially
basketball, swimming and roller skating. Rumor has it that
sailers are on her "like list," too.

r

NORMAN ROBERT RUSSELL

General Bethayres

Russ, one of our volunteer firemen, is inspired to be a
golf professional, although baseball, too, is near the top of
his "favorite" list. Disliking studying and sane driving, Russ
I makes the collection of stamps and popular records his hob­
by.

LOLIA HELENA KATHERINE TILGHMAN

College Prep. Bryn Athyn

If Lolia isn't smiling, she must be giggling because fun
and good humor run over in her personality. She can be ser­
ious, too, when and if necessary, but she's found that socia­
bility and good nature attract many more friends. Her special
"love" is French and we hope Mademoiselle Tilghman will
continue her interest in that language.

21

ANINA MAE PORTER ADAMS

Academic Trevose

Short and sweet "Nina,” one of our class song birds,
likes reading, writing, dramatics, mystery stories, and danc­
ing. Once her plans were to become an interior decorator,
but since June 1946, when she changed her name, she wishes
only to make her dream home a reality.

DOUGLAS CAMERON MOORE Bethayres
College Prep.

Our laughing, sociable music maker (of many varieties) >
is ever ready for a joke, pun, or even an argument. His seri­
ous interest is in medicine as a profession—and in a red­ V
headed young lady. Doug's hobbies are many but his pref­
erence seems to be for coins, clocks, and bicycles. After see­ 5
ing "Spring Fever,” we think Doug can add dramatics to his
list of achievements.

PHYLLIS JOAN BEHNKE

Commercial Rockledge

We call this tiny blond member of our class "Phyll.” Al­
though she's very partial to the Navy, the future may find
her with the Bell Telephone Co. Her smart clothes prove that
her interest in dress designing is a real one.

r

22

EDWARD GEORGE BOOZ

Commercial Rockledge

Tall, handsome, likeable Buzzy lists dancing, music, and
girls as his chief interests, with photography running a close
second. Buzzy has made his name as a piano artist which
may well be his real future.

GLADYS WHITLOCK

I College Prep. Rockledge

You know where you stand with Gladys and how she

stands with you because honesty, loyalty, and sincerity are

among her outstanding qualities. Because of that, plus her

friendly smile and pleasant disposition, Gladys has many

real friends. She contributed much to our class prestige by

! her willingness to work and her talent in basketball and
hockey.

L

PHILIP ROBERT BLAETZ’

Academic Rockledge

"Skip," our horse fancier, may someday be teaching
physical education—if he isn't printing our local newspaper.
As a member of the varsity football team, Skip showed us
what could happen to an opposing force. In science classes,
and almost any other place, we could trace signs of the
Blaetz funny bone that should be quite an asset in the cold,
cruel world.

23

WILLIAM JOHN KEES

General Rockledge

Student Council president, assistant editor of the ELM -
LEO, manager of the '45 basketball team, and chief bell ring­
er are some of the outstanding accomplishments of one of £
our "best dressers." Although Bill hasn't kept to cne of his
earlier loves, the violin, we realize he isn't fickle in any other *
way.
4
ANNA JANE HYNDMAN 1
£
Academic Feasterville I
L
Gay and sparkling and popular, Jean makes a hit with z Iff.-v.-'
a lot of people. Some cf her favorite likes are dill pickles, Items''• "'
potato chips, and talking, but blind dates are definitely not ry
to her liking. Jean has been active in hockey and Tri-Hi-Y. -y
Her interest in being a nurse sounds really serious. Lucky will
be those patients who have our May Queen to hold their hand.

JACK MAURER SCHOLLENBERGER

Academic Rockledge

"Jack" is the boy with the wavy hair, of which he is
quite proud. Home Economics Club holds his interest, but
after school he's an industrious worker in a local factory.
Jack, when he puts aside his cap and gown, expects to enter
business school.

24 5

JANET OLDROYD MOORE

College Prep. Bethayres

When we think of Janet, we think of music—her piano
accompaniment for the Glee Club, assembly, and the H. V.
Little Symphony. We think also, of her bright red hair (with­
out the temper some say goes with it), her pleasing person­
ality, and her contagious laughs when she tells us something
funny Freddie has said. Janet has the spirit that will always
make life fun for her and her friends.

ALFRED E. DIETERLE, JR.

General Rockledge

\ ■ / 1. Do you like nice quiet fellows? Here's one you'll be sure
to like. Alfred is the dark-handsome, strong-silent combination
that makes for liking and respect. If you insist upon a mous­
tache, that is available, too— if you give Al some advanced
notice.

,2.1.

ELEANOR JEANNETTE AUCKLAND

Commercial Feasterville

Blond blue-eyed Jean spends a great deal of her time
cutting spinach—or so she tells us. Her chief dislikes are hats
and milk, and to date she hasn't changed her mind about
them either! Horses and airplanes and singing keep Jean in
that sunny mood.

25

CAROLINE ELIZABETH SWANK

Academic Trevose

This energetic young miss has always been on hand
with a cheerful smile and a willingness to serve. The ELM-
LEO staff, Glee Club, Tri-Hi-Y presidency, and the senior play
kepi her especially busy her senior year but she found time,
too, for her favorite hobby, sewing. Once she had thoughts
of college but now things seem to be leading to a try in the
business world before she settles down in a cottage of her
own.

$

EDWARD M. GRIFFETH o**’*<<- 1
Trevose Heights
I

General

Sociable but not very talkative, quiet, red-headed, and /
a good listener—these are some of the things we know about
Eddie. His industrious side is best seen in shop where he 4-'
continues his usual argument that a Ford is better than a
"Chevy." His skill and interest in mechanical drawing will ^.4•:
probably begin his career as a draftsman. '<-.V .

L.

EVA MARIE WRIGHT

Commercial Oakford

Although Eva was voted the most boy shy, she showed
no hesitation about making a name for herself in commer­
cial work. "Quiet excellence" is a term that applies to Eva
in all that she undertakes. She was always a welcome mem­
ber of her crowd and added to their fun—especially in the
lunch room.

26 j

Commercial ANNA MARY McDONALD
Huntingdon Valley

Nancy, quiet and feminine, is active in sports from the
spectator's angle. She is one of our more reserved members
who gets a great deal of fun out of life in her special way.
Nancy's friendliness and sociability have brought her many
friends—and always will.

I

DONALD OLIVER SICKLE

General Trevose

Don is our quiet, modest, "blushable" good pal who was
always ready and willing to furnish that popular high-school
ingredient, chewing gum. His good nature was tried daily
by teasing, but it stood the test. Don's club interests included
the shop and science field and Safety Patrol. His hobby of
building models coincides with his future plans in construc­
tion work.

CAROLYN HELEN STOLTZ

College Prep. Feasterville

Carol, our quiet, deliberate, and talented friend, wishes
to become a commercial artist. We know she will succeed
in what she chooses, but with so many interests we're won­
dering how she can decide which is her first choice. Her ac­
tivities include music, skating, riding, ELMLEO art work, and
the ELM LEAF—an imposing arrayl

27

5

DOROTHY ANN DOANE

Commercial Rockledge

Dotty Ann is one of our quiet ones who is always jok­
ing and ready for a good laugh (a quiet chuckle) at any time.
Dotty has many interests but we think her collection of dogs
shows which one is her chief concern.

WILLIAM IACOB HUBING

Academic Rockledge

Bill is our dark, quiet, and somewhat mysterious member.
Hi-Y and Music Clubs were his main in-school interests; his
car and the feminine set were the out-of-school features. How­
ever, during after school working hours, you'd find him "all
business” at the neighborhood store. After graduation Bill
plans to don a brand new Army uniform.

that made a hit with everyone. Howard finally got his diploma with the aid
of his companions—Vic, the artist, and Ed, the mad chemist. Of course, their
"women"—Anne, Lou, and Vivian, aided them. These players were ably
supported by the other members of the cast and an efficient staff.

V/ "Oh, so near—and yet so far!" That was the cry of the 1943
team that missed being "tops" in the league by a close margin.
■ 7S After opening the season with a loss by one goal, the team con­
tinued with six wins and one tie. Since the one loss and the one
tie were with North Wales, they won first place in the league and

L. M. ranked second.
Of the 18 goals scored by L. M., Verna Leedom, June Worth­

ington, Sue Dech, and Doris Roberts made 8, 5, 4, and 1 respect­
ively. Our opponents scored cnly a total of 7 points throughout the

season.
In addition to our scorers the other girls who contributed to

this successful season were: Capt. Jean Danenberger, Margaret
Trctter, Mimi Pletcher, Grace Baxter, Gladys Whitlock, Margaret
Schultz, Joan Wolfinger, Jean Hyndman, and Clementine Giovan-

angelo.

FOOTBALL

In this season the players saved their best until last when
they ended the season with an overwhelming victory over their
local rivals, Southampton, 19-0. The fact that this exciting game was
the first night game ever to be played at L. M. added greatly to the
pleasure of the victory.

Coach White enjoyed the cooperation of the entire squad and
many moral victories in some of the more difficult games.

The varsity players included Captain Donald Craul, Roy
Doan, Mervin Thompson, Robert Perry, Philip Blaetz, Rcnald
Thompson, Richard Yetter, Edward Pastore, Edward Fronsdale,
Donald Mengel, Richard Mengel, John Bower, Alfred Henry, Her­
bert Showmaker, Walter Reimann, Norman Wilcke, Richard Die­

BASEBALL

The baseball write-up is always that of the previous year because the
ELMLEO material must go to press prior to the baseball season. However,
this 1946 report is "out of date" in no other way, for the boys made a fine
showing that spring, missing an even break by just one game.

The baseball regulars of the '46 season were: William Meehl, Warren
Braun, George Johnston, Joseph Bower, Harry Swanson, Roland Stoltz, War­
ren Meehl, Philip Blaetz, John Bower, Paul Liebold, Richard Graham, James
Simpson, Walter Benningfield, Harry Pletcher, Norman Russell, Joseph Mes­
sina, Ronald Thompson, Mervin Thompson, and Tony Giovanangelo. Coach­
es: Mr. Gilvary, Mr. Robinson. Managers: Robert Perry, Arthur McCrae.

CHEER LEADERS ■

Although the cheer leaders were more or less "on their own" this year,
the veterans of last year's group, Doris Roberts and Jean Danenberger, held
the fort and trained the new members in a way that made L. M. proud of
their representatives. With these two seniors, Caroline Danenberger and Glad­
ys Lodge of the junior class and Verna Leedom of the sophomores comprised
the regular group that kept the cheering section right with the team through­
out each game.

Next year's prospects for the varsity cheer leading group are especially
promising because of the interest and practice this year on the part of seme
peppy spirited ninth grade girls who supported their junior high teams this
season.

We look forward to a record year in cheering for our 1947-48 school year.
