www.ExecutiveEdgeConsulting.com Welcome home... Class of 1970

The Reunion Committee had fun preparing for this evening. Each meeting, over the past year, was a mini reunion. We did get down to the business of planning but there was also lots of “remember when” time. Tonight, the Class of 1970 takes a break from the 40th Reunion present to walk the halls of Upper Darby High School, Committee a place we called home forty-plus years ago. Home is defined as where you live at a particular time; a place where something began or flourished; a social unit Stephanie Abramides-Carroll living together. Bud Byrnes Life’s experiences have changed us in so many ways Dawn Calzada but we have a common thread that makes this evening Nancy Fech-Spanier special. Whether you scored a goal or beat a drum on Sharon Gray-Reed the football field; raised your voice in song at a holiday concert; rebuilt a V-8 engine at Vo-tech or debated Dan Hey for the HiQ team; the school day started in your Mark Juliano homeroom. Kathleen Lawler We are a family, dare we say a family of “Royal” Donna Lindelow-Walther capacity. Tonight we come together again, traveling Kathleen Lybrand-Murtagh the distance, for this “family reunion.” Reacquaint Patte Marshall-Michel with old buddies. Get to know those you didn’t hang around with. (We were a big class and no one knew Wayne McAllister everyone, so no pressure!) Have fun and laugh. Marsha Mills-Ahearn Get up and dance. Share memories and old stories. Barbara Nescio-Bonnett Take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us and at the end of this memorable evening Carole Smith promise to meet again... in another five years! Loren Thomas Skip Tuck Stephanie & Carole Class of 1970 Peggy Wilson-Rodden Co-chairs, 40th Reunion Committee

You must be present to win! The first school in Upper Darby was a building erected in 1779 and sold to John Sellers, Benjamin Brannon and Oliver Garrett. This was on the site of the present high school. The second building built here was the “Eastern School,” erected in 1872.

The Upper Darby School District has the distinction of being the oldest public school district in Pennsylvania, because it was the first district to accept the Free School Act in 1834.

Upper Darby High School first opened its doors to students in 1894. A two-story red brick building, it was run by Miss Elizabeth D. Turner, teacher and principal. It was truly the “Little Red School House.”

In 1896 the first class of five graduated. The classes grew necessitating the new stone

building that opened in 1919. It included a gymnasium with showers and locker rooms, considered the finest in the country at that time; a two-room library and an art room with overhead lighting. The teaching staff, now at seventeen, taught four curricula: Academic, Scientific, Commercial and General. The new school housed grades 7– 12 until 1930, when Upper Darby Junior High (now Beverly Hills Middle School) was opened to grades 7 – 9.

By the late 1960’s the fifty year old building that we remember was no longer adequate.

1970 was the year that construction began on a new, larger facility. The old stone building was demolished and the new building was opened in 1972. Enrollment peaked at 3200 students but then declined. In September 1981, the ninth grade joined the high school population.
