8-C Saturday, May 28, 1988 The Philadelphia Inquirer Death Notices OBITUARIES Schaubel, Miss America 1924 1 pi Ruth M. By Donna St. George Inquirer Stall Wnur Ruth Malcomson Schaubel, a 1924 Miss America who protested the commercialization of America's oldest national beauty pageant, died Wednesday at Delaware County Memorial Hospital. She was 82 and lived in Broomall. Mrs.

Schaubel won the contest during its fourth year. She was an 18-year-old Philadelphia native with flowing brown locks who had won a high-school picture contest and then had gone on to take crowns as Miss Philadelphia, Miss Pennsylvania and ultimately Miss America. After defeating 85 rivals on stage in Atlantic City, Mrs. Schaubel was welcomed back to Philadelphia at City Hall by Mayor W. Freeland Ken-drick after riding through throngs of people who had packed Market Street to see her.

Mrs. Schaubel spent her year as Miss America appearing in churches, clubs, public ceremonies and fund-raising events. Theaters vied to get her on stage, stores arranged shopping tours for her, clubs sponsored dinners in her honor. But by the end of the year, when Mrs. Schaubel was invited to compete again to keep her crown for a second year, she refused, saying pageant officials were inviting professional beauties, including chorus girls, to compete.

"The pageant now has become Described by her family as a woman who was humble about her appearance, Mrs. Schaubel did not dwell on her life as Miss America. In a 1962 interview, she said, "Having won the title never affected my life." She was not critical of the pageant in later years, her husband said, "but that was her past. She was interested in other things." If she was disenchanted with the pageant in 1925, Mrs. Schaubel nonetheless attended several later Miss America contests and did not let anything affect her enthusiasm when other family members took part.

Mrs. Schaubel's niece, Lorna Ringler Graham, was crowned Miss Pennsylvania in 1956, and her grand-niece, Jodi Graham, was named Miss Delaware in 1982. "She was at both of those contests to watch them," said her nephew, Bill Ringler. "I think she was proud." Pageant officials apparently had no hard feelings, either. Mrs.

Schaubel was selected as a co-grand marshal, along with veteran pageant master of ceremonies Bert Parks, for a parade marking the contest's 50th anniversary. Besides her husband, surviving are her son, Carl A. three grandchildren, and a sister. Funeral services will be at noon today at the C.N. Toppitzer Funeral Home, Garrett Road at Lansdowne Avenue, Drexel Hill.

Interment is at Arlington Cemetery, Drexel Hill. David Schroeder, Episcopal Academy teacher Contras say Jfliey're ready rto halt talks By Richard Boudreaux Angeles Times MJNir.llJ Nw.nrnmin rnnlrn jjfcaders said yesterday that they were jgcady to suspend negotiations with Jfre Sandinista government and seek new U.S. support for their forces m-jftde Nicaragua if the current round JBf talks do not produce a full peace Agreement. Alfredo Cesar, the chief contra ne-jtfotiator, and Enrique Bermudez, the Sebel military commander, said they were confident that the U.S. Con-tress would not abandon their guer-HJla movement if the Sandinistas Xailed to make significant demo- TCTatic concessions.

The rebel leaders spoke in separate interviews during the second of three scheduled days of talks between Sandinista and contra negotiators on rival proposals to end the six- Ujear-old Nicaraguan war. Officials on both sides said yester-May that the current round of talks eyas the most promising of the three held here since they signed a truce accord March 23 in Sapoa, Nicaragua. The accord called for follow-up negotiations on the political reforms needed to achieve a final armistice by Monday. fin advantage i While expressing different degrees dT optimism about reaching a settlement by today, Cesar and Bermudez said the rebels had lost ground militarily during the truce and could not afford to extend it for the sake of new negotiations. Anticipating a partial accord at best, the Sandinistas have offered a unilateral 30-day truce extention.

Bermudez said the Sandinistas had gained an "irreversible advantage" during the truce by importing new Soviet weaponry and building new garrisons while the contras were barred from receiving any aid. "We are a day away from two possible outcomes," Cesar said during a midday break in the talks. "We either sign a definitive peace agreement or the Nicaraguan Resistance cannot extend the truce formally." If the truce expires, Cesar said, the contras will refrain from attacking Sandinista forces. But he said the rebels would no longer be bound by terms of the Sapoa accord, which prohibits the flow of supplies to them except under terms negotiated with the Sandinista government. The rebels' strategy appears to be a gamble to provoke a Sandinista offensive that would bring the United States to their aid.

The risk would be a damaging blow to the rebel army, which has been reduced by factional fighting and lack of supplies during the truce. Congress cut off the contras' military aid in February, but after the Sapoa accord, it approved $17 million in nonlethal aid to the rebels. Last month, when negotiations on delivery of the aid stalled, the Reagan administration began sending it to rebel base camps in neighboring Honduras. confidence' J. Cesar said Congress "would have To revise the law" to allow such deliveries by airdrops to rebel forces Inside Nicaragua.

He also said Secretary of State George P. Shultz promised rebel leaders this week that he would do "everything in his power" to get the aid to rebels if peace talks -broke off. The rebel leader expressed "absolute confidence" that Congress would renew military aid to the guerrillas if they were attacked by the Sandinista army. Both rebel leaders said they were Encouraged by Thursday's surprise bipartisan effort in the U.S. House of Representatives to authorize President Reagan to use a secret CIA fund to aid the rebels, even though it was narrowly defeated.

"It means Congress is not ready to abandon the Nicaraguan Resistance," Cesar said. Maj. Ricardo Wheelock, the Sandinista army intelligence chief, said yesterday that small planes from Honduras and Costa Rica had been dropping weapons to the contras in recent days. Cesar denied the assertion. Amnesty taken In another development, the gov- ernment presented a well-known rebel commander who turned himself in and accepted amnesty under the Sapoa accord.

Felix Garcia Hernandez, known as Alfa Lima, told reporters yesterday that he had commanded more than 400 men in the Chontales region and had been in the rebel forces since the civil war began six years ago. He said he met with representa-, tives of the Nicaraguan army several times during the truce and decided to return because of his family and because he felt that Nicaraguans turned himself in Wednesday, and the Sandinista government an- nounced it Thursday night. Alfa Lima said that six of his men had come with him, and that he hoped to encourage more of his for-: mer comrades to take advantage of. the amnesty. "I am going to try to convince my.

men to come in. There are many out there who do not know what they are doing or why they are fighting," said soft-spoken Alfa Lima, still wear-. ing his camouflage unilorm. Alfa Lima's former commander-in-chief, Bermudez, said upon hearing bf Lima's decision: "We regret it. He Was a field commander with a long record.

We consider him a war casualty." The Associated Press contributed to this article.

Ruth Malcomson Schaubel nothing but a commercial proposition to exploit the beauties who make their living from their good looks," she said in 1925. "What chance has an ordinary girl, untrained, to win a contest in which girls who have been trained to make the most of their beauty are competing?" Mrs.

Schaubel's beginnings in the beauty world had been those of an amateur. During her days at West Philadelphia High School, she was a David P. Schroeder "He loved physics. That was his baby," said Bob Parr, a chemistry teacher at the school. "And he just lit up and came alive when he was in front of a classroom.

He knew how to communicate to the kids. He was always trying to get in their heads and understand them." During Mr. Schroeder's 10 years on the job, the number of graduating students at the school who had taken physics rose from about 40 percent to 95 percent. Much of that, students and teachers said, had to do with Mr. Schroeder, a resident of Villanova.

He was the kind of teacher who thought of ways to interest students, who soberly would tell them that their exams would begin with a slight laugh and a glimmer in his eye at the sound of a cow's moo. And he would tap a toy that mooed like a barnyard cow. In the laboratory, he would don the Philadelphia-based Farm Journal. Later, she also did customer relations for the Philadelphia Dairy Council, and was home-economics representative in Philadelphia for the Agricultural Extension Service of Pennsylvania State College. During World War Miss Queal did conservation work in Texas and Arkansas, and assisted in the Pittsburgh milk campaign in 1920.

Before moving to Philadelphia, she was a nutrition specialist at Massachusetts Agricultural College and spent three years as a dietician at Rochester Baby Hospital, supervising the feeding of hundreds of undernourished children. Survivors: three nieces. No services were held. The Rev. John J.

Gallagher, 71, an English teacher at Holy Ghost Prepa i jr rn at be quiet, demure teenager who did the dishes every morning before school and was nicknamed "Rufus." After Mrs. Schaubel had become a celebrated beauty queen, attention followed her everywhere for years. She was seven minutes late for her wedding to Carl Schaubel, later vice president of administration at Wid-ener University, because so many people had crowded outside the church to catch a glimpse of the 1931 ceremony. For about five years, Mrs. Schaubel was a professional model for H.

Armstrong Roberts, a commercial photographer. After her marriage, however, she never worked professionally again. She and her husband lived in Upper Darby for 24 years before moving to Broomall. "She became a housewife and loved the job, thank goodness," said Carl Schaubel, who met his wife after he drove a polo ball out of bounds and it landed in her lap. Mrs.

Schaubel did volunteer work over the years, devoting great energy to the Red Cross and the Junior Red Cross during and after World War II. She received an award for her efforts on behalf of the groups. An outstanding cook, Mrs. Schaubel prepared lobster Newburg and soft-shell crabs while the family vacationed at its Long Beach Island summer home, her nephew recalled. Mrs.

Schaubel also dabbled with oil painting. goggles and play a flute. He was no master of the flute. The students would laugh and listen. That's what he always wanted.

Once in a while, he'd bring along a rubber chicken. "He would clown around and get the kids' attention," said physics teacher Paul Rosenberg, "and that's a large part of teaching. He realized you had to be a showman to get the message across." The antics were only part of what Mr. Schroeder put into teaching. He often stayed late after classes, working on lesson plans, trying to find new ways to teach.

Of the 10 weeks' summer vacation every year, Mr. Schroeder was at Episcopal preparing for the new year at least six of those weeks, teachers said. He created a new kind of physics class for students who weren't math-oriented, a "conceptual physics" that relied more on understanding the basic tenets of the science than its mathematical applications. In fact, he always believed in student involvement. "He really felt that you have to learn by doing and he would spend hour after hour after hour setting up laboratories," said Rosenberg.

A man who never had children of his own, Mr. Schroeder who was also called "Big Blue" for his imposing appearance at 6-foot4 and the navy blue suits he often wore drew choruses of cheers and laughs at the student assembly in 1985 when he gave up his beard for students who successfully raised more than $2,500 for the homeless. And when Mr. Schroeder became ill with heart problems not long afterward, and later suffered a stroke, the students at Episcopal tried to give a little back. Overwhelmingly, the Class of 1986 voted to dedicate its yearbook to Mr.

Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder, disabled from a stroke, showed up at Episcopal on graduation night to accept. Unable to ratory School in Bensalem, died yesterday at the school. Father Gallagher had worked at Holy Ghost since 1955, also assisting St.

Schroeder was a teacher known for his hair. So when he pledged to shave if students at Episcopal Academy in Mer-ion raised $2,500 for the homeless, it was an invitation they couldn't refuse. The students raised that and more. For Mr. Schroeder, those who knew him said, was a teacher who demanded a lot from his students but had a way of getting them interested, making them laugh, of being their friend.

And after Mr. Schroeder, 51, died Wednesday at Bryn Mawr Hospital, it was the way "Sasquatch" gave so much to the classroom, the school and those around him that was remembered including the time in 1985 that he gave up even his trademark beard. "There was something special about Mr. Schroeder," said Paul Schwartz, 20, a former student at Episcopal. "His one real love in life was teaching," said E.

Lance Cave, chairman of Episcopal's science department. "He loved to do that, and you could tell. He put all his energy in it." Mr. Schroeder, who also taught four years at Radnor High School, arrived at Episcopal in 1975 and was appointed chairman of the science department. He immediately helped get the school's requirements for laboratory science changed from one year to three years.

Always a physics teacher, Mr. Schroeder was especially interested in getting students to learn the subject that he loved. He was successful. In 1985, Princeton University awarded him a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation scholarship to attend the school's physics institute. Deaths here Eva Mosley Tucker, 88, a Philadelphia housekeeper and mother who warmed her family with the famous cinnamon buns she brought to every gathering, died Wednesday at Graduate Hospital.

Born in Atlantic City, Mrs. Tucker moved to South Philadelphia at age 17 and began a 40-year job as housekeeper for Irving J. Katz, a lawyer. While working, Mrs. Tucker raised two sons and two daughters and became active at Tindley Temple United Methodist Church, where she was involved for more than 50 years.

Mrs. Tucker, called "Nanny" by her family, enjoyed singing spirituals, including her favorite, "Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow." Her homemade dinner and cinnamon rolls were a family favorite. "There was never a family event or gathering for which she didn't provide these treats," said her granddaughter, Wanda Tucker. After retiring about 30 years ago, she became a volunteer, donating her time to Club Opus and the Stephen Smith Home for the elderly, where she worked for more than 15 years. She was the wife of the late Leonard Tucker and the mother of the late Lenora Tucker and Lorraine Thomas.

Survivors: her sons, Morris and James; 12 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. Services: viewing, 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, George Emery Funeral Home, 1232 S. 22d St. Interment in Rolling Green Cemetery, Chester.

Lucy Queal, 98, a nutritionist who taught teachers at the old Philadelphia Normal School, died Thursday at Foulkeways Life Care Community in Gwynedd. Miss Queal, a longtime resident of Center City before moving to Gwynedd in 1969, had come to Philadelphia from Kansas City in the 1920s to train teachers in home economics.
