THE ANNUAL 29 COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE FEBRUARY, 1932, CLASS On Thursday evening, January 28, 1932, the eighty-three members of February, 1932 class were graduated from Chester High School with a program befitting such a prominent class. The High School Orchestra opened the program with Chamber’s march, “The North Wind.” The in- vocation was pronounced by the Rev. Herbert Weaver of Trinity Lutheran Church. A short address was deliv- ered by Dr. David A. Ward, Super- intendent of Schools, after which a selection by the orchestra, “The White Queen,” was given. In commemoration of George Washington’s two hundredth birth- day anniversary, members of the class presented a most enlightening and appropriate project. The pres- entation, the theme of which was “George Washington,” consisted of nine parts. Milton Woodlen spoke on the “Ancestx-y of George Washington.” “Washington’s Love for Children” was the topic chosen by Kathryn Haas. A subject of particular inter- est was “Washington’s Visits to Chester,” given by Wanda Dorszew- ski. A selection, “Yankee Doodle,” as popular in Washington’s time as it is today, was played by the High School Orchestra. Robert Reichenbach clearly por- trayed “Washington’s Career as a Surveyor.” A particularly entertain- ing part of the project was “Music of the Revolutionary Period,” pre- sented by Kathryn Dulin. The songs and hymns popular during that time were illustrated by Dorothy Detwiler at the xylophone. Julian Levin deliv- ered selections from Washington’s famous “Farewell Address.” In fur- ther keeping with the program was Green’s “Tribute to Washington,” by Blanche Greenstein. Mr. George W. Pedlow, principal of the High School, presented awards to outstanding members of the Feb- ruary class. Mr. Charles P. Larkin, President of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas.
