FORTY-TWO ] MEMORIES What fun It is to travel on the wire of a telephone, to hear yourself become a song or maybe even a moan! The voice thought this as it traveled to Harry Price's home. Slam! Bang! the books didn't quite hit the telephone. John, where are you? Come answer the 'phone, yelled Harry to the invisible butler. In ambled our old friend John Morley, who answered the offending object. Sir, a man wishes to speak to a person named 'Beet'. All right, connect the 'phone near my bed and turn on the television. Hello, yes this is Beet. Who? Why Paul Stewart! No, I'm not busy, I can always find time for my old classmates. No, I'm having a meeting at my house, my board of directors, but you come around anyhow and have dinner with us. You say you have Wallace Lippincott, Frederick Valentine, and Frederick Mac- Dowell with you? Bring them along, too. Helen, where are you? We are having guests for dinner, Paul Stewart and three other men. They can join your directors' meeting because I'm having my bridge. Paul and the others walked into the di- rectors' meeting and bumped into Sidney Stesis, who immediately began asking them what they had been doing for the past twenty years. It soon turned out that all the directors were graduates of Chester High School. They were Alexander Cosinuke, William Cardwell, Robert Dannaker, Vernon Mont- gomery, John Mewha, William Dempsey, and Robert Osman. In the meantime, Helen, whose maiden name was Newill, was entertaining Eliza- beth Goldstein, Della Yarnell, Ruth Waro- witz, Mary McMonegal, Jeanette Hazzard, Gladys MacLaughlin, Jennie Rosen, Flor- ence Rostron, Eleanor Cairns, Florence Sanders, and Nellie Yaworski, members of her bridge club. When Harry learned that the directors' meeting was going to be a meeting to recall old memories of Chester High School, he called in Helen and her club. Then the fun began. Some recalled getting up earlier to go a longer distance. A groan accompanied that. Robert Osman remembered the time he got into the orchestra. The Smedleyite3 remembered feeling small beside the sophomores who had been freshmen at Chester High and who knew their way around. They also recalled going up the down stairs and coming down the up stairs, and therefore, bumping in o possi- bly as many people as they could. Then they had to get used to calling assem- bly chapel . . . But all that was in our sophomore year with Roy Albany, president of our class. In our junior year, with William Dela- ney, president, we ran across Miss Jack- son, who really made us learn our Am- erican history for which we'll probably never be sorry. Then there was also the excitement over the Junior Prom, our first big dance, with Vivian Simpers, chairman. This dance dealt with high finances. (They turned out to be $5.00). Wilma Pentecost was the orchestra accompanist then. Added to that we purchased our rings, which branded us as upper classmen. El- viere Tonge was chairman of our ring committee. We became seniors. Oh! that lovely word. The St. Patty's Day Dance in the cafeteria, from which we made more profit than from the Junior Prom. Preparing for the Washington trip. What a job! Thinking we had everything and then find- ing out we had left our toothbrush, or some other small but important necessity, at [ FORTY-FIVE home. Excitement over the Senior Ball planned for Thanksgiving Day. Then the banquet, and last but not least, our gradu- ation. The boys began thinking of the fellows who had taken part in sports. Walter Ster- ner had won praise for track. Melvin Har- mon, Henry Orlowski, Thomas Ickes, Wal- ter Glatts, Miron Hylwiak, Walter Luzak, with William Meek as manager, distin- guished themselves in basketball. In football, Anthony Degutis, William Toran, and Wallace Lippincott succeeded in getting themselves dressed up in foot- ball togs when the season rolled around. Frank Jensen found himself at all the games as cheerleader. We held our first dance in honor of the football team. Lucky boys! Harry dug up his Class Annual and his eyes lighted on the names of the execu- tives of the Annual, Editor, Robert Osman; Assistant Editor, Theodore Brown; Art, Gladys Konegan; and the head of the Advertising Staff, John Lewis and his in- imitable assistant, Dorothy Dubow. All the people at that informal gathering remembered these things, but probably they all laughed when they thought of the time that we broke the lamp in the cafeteria while decorating for a dance. (It seems funny now, but it didn’t seem funny then). Last but not least they thought of their advisers and remembered Miss Oliver and Mr. Clare.

AtHl 1 U il' w ii u iU u ii STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council has moved rapidly for- ward until it is one of our outstanding or- ganizations. The club has been supervised most efficiently by Mr. Heard. The officers are: Theodore Brown, president; Harry Price, vice president; Jane Davis, secretary; and Arthur Hartman, treasurer. The council's most recent contribution was the establishment of a tribunal, con- sisting of six boys and five girls, six of whom are seniors. The duty of the tribunal is to try all offenders against the school laws. Awards were presented at graduation to the outstanding boy and girl of the Febru- ary class of 1936, Sylvia Rosenfeld and Phillip Rodgers. At the Christmas season, food was distri- buted by the members to a large number of needy families. The council consisting of freshmen and sophomores, under the guidance of Miss Welsh, has been very active, commendably cooperating with the Senior Council. In February the groups merged into one. Student Council has worked hard to better conditions in the school. To accom- plish its purpose, the Council needs the earnest support of every student. JANE E. DAVIS, June, '36. LITERARY SOCIETY The Literary Society this year presented chiefly student programs, consisting of dis- cussions of new books and authors, and readings from modern literature. One of the most popular chapel programs of the year was sponsored by the Literary Society. Mr. Arthur Rich, of Hedgerow The- atre, entertained the students with a talk about life at the Hedgerow, the preparation of plays, the actors, and Mr. Rich's own experiences. Following this, he portrayed the part of ''Emperor Jones from O'Neill's famous play of that title. The members of the society are con- ducting a short story and poetry contest for seniors. The officers for the first term were Lam- pert Warren, president; Walter Hosier, vice president; Dolores Truitt, secretary. The sec- ond term officers were Walter Hosier, presi- dent, and Jane Davis, secretary. The programs were arranged by the com- mittee: Walter Hosier, Beatrice Pack, Jane Davis, and Frank Lamey. JANE E. DAVIS, June, '36. THE ART CLUB The Art Club has been very active this year, under the supervision of Miss Boyle and Miss Norman. The officers are Thomas Evans, president; Ruth Shisler, secretary; and Lavinia Maden, chairman of the pro- gram committee. Every meeting this year has been suc- cessful, for the committee has secured in- teresting and instructive speakers. Some of these were Mrs. George Pedlow, Mr. Rob- ert Journey, Mr. Weston Taylor, and grad- uates who are now attending art schools. In April some members enjoyed attend- ing the fashion show given by students of the Philadelphia Industrial Art School. This club was formed to develop an in- terest in art within the school. Through the cooperation and interest of the advisers and members, this aim is being successfully realized. RUTH SHISLER, June, '36. SERVICE CLUB The Service Club of Chester High School was organized in September, 1935, by Mr. Pritchard. The purpose of the club is to aid in school activities. Membership is open to boys and girls. The officers of the Service Club are: John Robinson, president; Dorothy Diggins, vice president; Anne Ewaka, secretary. The club has taken part in many activi- ties during the year 1935-36. The members collected tickets and ushered at football games. They ushered and watched for fires at the Candle Light Service, reserved seats for seniors' last day in chapel, helped at basketball games, served at tables and collected tickets for the football banquet, worked in the office, placed trophies on ex- [ FIFTY-ONE Minstrel Stamp CUb Tn Hi H.

As Mr. Pritchard's time is occupied by other work, Mr. Clare has been elected ad- viser for the year 1936-37. ANNE EWAKA, February, '37. BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Boys’ Athletic Association has just completed one of its most successful years. The receipts from games and memberships have enabled the organization to buy much needed equipment for its teams. The Boys' A. A. sponsored a drive for new uniforms for the band, and sweaters were given to the victorious football team. The membership of the A. A. was greatly increased over that of former years, which shows a much needed interest in athletics in Chester High School, something thal heretofore has been lacking. The officers for the year 1935-36 were president, Isadore Sachs; vice president, Arthur Hartman; and secretary-treasurer, William Meek. Mr. Paul W. Pritchard is the faculty man- ager. The following is a list of coaches: football and basketball, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Dwyer, Mr. Heard; golf, Mr. Pritchard: track and cross country, Mr. Lange. ARTHUR HARTMAN, June, '36. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WANTED: Girl applicants for positions in Girls' Athletic Association. Must be mem- bers of Chester High School, holders of Girls' A.

The following officers were elected: president, Reah Dougherty; secretary, Martha Hooper. Programs, planned by the program com- mittee, have consisted of reviews of new books, reports on modem authors' lives, and readings. Worksheets were distributed to the stu- dents to familiarize them with the library, and members were assigned certain hours to work in the library. To promote sociability, a weenie roast was held. The members plan to purchase pins soon. MARTHA HOOPER. June, '35. MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club has become an important organization in our school. The officers this term are Irwin Smith, president; Myer Zabludoff, vice president; John Shawd, treasurer; Joseph Shanis, secretary. Although meetings are held only once a month, much progress has been achieved. Mr. Huber, our able adviser, gives interest- ing talks on higher mathematics—algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Believing that civilization could not exist without mathe- matics, we discuss the lives of famous mathematicians. The solution of puzzles stimulates interest in mathematics. A scrap book, containing articles, puz- zles, pictures, and problems of mathemat- ical interest, is kept. The club expects to buy books on mathematical history for the library. A trip to Franklin Institute and the Plane- tarium is also planned. JOSEPH SHANIS, June, '36. [ FIFTY-THREE SCIENCE CLUB The officers of Phi Beta Chi, the Science Club, are Reah Dougherty and Samuel Rumford, co-presidents; Thomas Moore, treasurer; and Pauli Ziegler, secretary. Miss Hunter is the adviser. The club has had interesting talks by men representing various nearby indus- tries. Mr. Rouse, of the Eddystone Print Works, discussed the printing of cloth; Mr. Jefferis, engineer of our school, explained the school's heating system; Mr. Juckett presented moving pictures of the production and operation of the Chevrolet car. Club members have also presented inter- esting programs. John Monaghan and Jo- seph Esser demonstrated the effects of elec- tric currents; Fred Feddeman and Philip Rodgers showed some chemical tricks; Samuel Rumford and Reah Dougherty gave a demonstration of wind resistance. This year, the club has visited the Sun Oil Company, the Fels Naphtha Soap Com- pany, the Philadelphia Electric and Radio Show, and Franklin Institute. The display case outside room 318 is a club project. Among the subjects exhibited have been photography, oil refining, and the chemical elements, systematically ar- ranged. Abraham Oppenheim keeps the science scrap-book, containing souvenirs of trips, newspaper Clippings, and science boners. PAULL ZIEGLER, Secretary, June, '36. LOCAL HISTORY CLUB The Local History Club of Chester High School is an important school organization. It is twelve years old, having started about 1924. For the past few years the club has been supervised by Miss Jackson, together with Miss Cassell and Miss McWilliams. This activity is open to all eleventh grade pupils; this year there are about 150 mem- bers. The main purpose of the club is to pro- mote interest in city and county history. This is done by having planned programs and securing interesting speakers, all plan- ning being done by an executive com- mittee. The present officers are; Richard Enion, president; Alvin Green, vice president; Elizabeth Ross, secretary; Mary di Medio, treasurer; Alethiae Frank, publicity agent. RICHARD ENION. STAMP CLUB The Chester High School Stamp Club was organized for the purposes of arousing in- terest in stamp collecting, and helping col- lectors increase their knowledge. The club meeis during the first week of each month. Timely talks on stamp collecting are given by members; other members exhibit their collections. A feature recently added io the meetings is the trading of duplicate stamps. There is much knowledge, as well as pleasure, to be gained from stamp collect- ing: geography, history, science, music are all connected with this hobby, for every stamp has a story attached to it. All stamp collectors in the school are eligible for membership in the club, whose adviser is Miss Lorenz. ALEXANDER STECYK, June, '36. LATIN CLUB The meetings of the Latin Club have been well attended this yea;, for .he programs have been interesting and varied. Under the direction of Miss Cole, some members of the club presented The Golden Locket, a one-act play, first in Latin and then in English. In March, scenes from Julius Caesar were arranged by Velma Dickerson and Florence Somerman. The cast was made up of boys. A musical program was presented in April. Reports on Roman music were given, after which Roman songs and modern pop- ular songs were sung in La.in. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the year was the FIFTY-FOUR ] May meeting, when a typical Roman wed- ding was presented. The Latin Club is under the direction of Miss Pancoast, assisted by other members of the Latin department. The officers for 1935-36 have been: president, Lena George; vice president, Edith Johnson; secretary, Mollie Bleloch; treasurer, Joseph Shanis. LENA GEORGE, June, '36. GERMAN CLUB The German Club of Chester High School has had a very successful year because of the hard work of Miss Graf, the adviser, and the officers, who have cooperated faith- fully with her. The outstanding program this year was the presentation of the Dance Duet from the opera Hansel and Gretel. The part of Hansel was taken by Almira Morgan and that of Gretel by Grace Hosier. The officers for the first semester were Philip Rodgers, president; Elinore Hark- ness, vice president; Margaret Larsen, sec- retary and treasurer. This term the officers are Henry Drab- kowski, president; Elinore Harkness, vice president; Marie Wahl, secretary and trea- surer. The club is open to all students inter- ested in the German language. The pro- grams consist of German songs, poems, games, puzzles, and short sketches. MARIE WAHL, June, '37. HI-Y In 1844 the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation was founded by Sir George Wil- liams in London. With this achievement, a great forward step was taken in the development of Christian character. Hi-Y was formed to interest young high school men in social and spiritual programs. To- day this movement has been extended throughout the countries of Europe, as well as the United States. In our country alone there are upwards of 100,000 members. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the highest standards of Christian character. To promote this pur- pose, the club sponsors many service projects, the most popular of which is conducting religious services. One Sunday evening each month, a group of members conducts the entire service at some city church. The club's platform is based on the four squares of Christian living: clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The boys, grouped according to their grades in high school, hold meetings in the Y. M. C. A. every Monday evening at 7:15. A business meeting is followed by group discussions of vital problems facing youth, under the supervision of group leaders. Among the leaders are: Mr. Bupp, Boys' Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Waller, Mr. Buono, Mr. Huber, Mr. Lange, and Mr. Pedlow. The officers for the past year have been: William Duncan, president; James Booth, first vice president; Harry Price, second vice presiden'; Harry Shaub, secretary; Abraham Oppenheim, treasurer. Hi-Y cordially extends an invitation to every boy who wishes to share the enjoy- ment of fellowship with other boys of his age, to attend a club meeting. HARRY SHAUB, June '36. TRI-HI The Tri-Hi Club, open to all girls, is one of the best known activities in Chester High School. It meets every Monday evening at 7:30 in the Y. W. C. A. This year Tri-Hi is playing a new role: formerly it has been chiefly a social organi- zation for the girls' own pleasure, but now the members are doing social service work. At present, they are working with the Needlework Guild. Representatives from various service units in Chester have spoken to the girls about conditions exist- [ FIFTY-FIVE NJewswnters Dramat ic 5oc i e t y 10 B Officers Latin Club Girls' A.A. Commercial Club ing in many homes, and the girls, real- izing how fortunate they are, are only too glad to help others. On the other hand, the members are not forgetting their social obligations; many successful affairs have been held, including the Annual Faculty Tea on St. Patrick's Day. The girls enjoy varied programs under the able direction of the advisers, Misses Birchard, Benjamin, Oliver, Boyle, Hunter, Schieck, and Newsome. The following officers now direct Tri-Hi: president, Lena George; vice president, Elizabeth Roberts; secretary, Josephine Piummer; treasurer, Elizabeth Ross. The ex- ecutive committee consists of Rhoda Ewing, Helen Newill, Ruth Mills, Catherine Lutton, and Georgette Parry. JOSEPHINE PLUMMER, June, '36. NEWSWRITERS' CLUB There is no organization in Chester High School that does more for the school than the Newswriters' Club, for upon this club resls the responsibility of preparing a news- paper which is the voice of the students. The officers of the club include: William Duncan, president; Helen Newill, vice presi- dent; and Cecelia Buck, secretary. During the meetings, which are held twice monthly, assignments are made for the next issue of the paper, a deadline for handing in material is set, and the date of publication is settled. Miss Williams gives helpful hints on grammar and on writing in newspaper style. The club, under the competent direction of Miss Williams, has done its best to give the school a good newspaper. May the stu- dents support this organization with their whole-hearted cooperation so that its valu- able work may continue throughout the years. CECELIA BUCK, June, '36. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY Because of the interest of the advisers, and the work of the seniors, the Industrial Society has experienced a very successful year. The meetings have proved to be interest- ing and educational. Many of the boys have taken part, and men from various in- dustrial plants have given instructive talks. The officers of the club are: president, Ellwood Smith; vice president, William Hess; secretary, Edward Strazala; assistant secretary, Robert McCoy; treasurer, Frank Thompson. In the machine shop during the past year, the main project has been machining and assembling a wood lathe. The lathe has recently been finished and installed in the Eyre School. Many smaller jobs have been completed, and a great amount of key- making and repair work has been done during the last semester. The patterns of a wood lathe are manu- factured in the wood shop and are sent to the foundry to be cast. Well-finished pieces of furniture are also turned out by the pat- tern makers, as well as patterns and re- pair work. Under the direction of Mr. Coulter, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Congleton, both shops fur- nish practical experience for the boys, and help to cut down school expenses. ELLWOOD SMITH, June, '36. DUNBAR SOCIETY The Dunbar Society, composed of colored students, was organized fourteen years ago. Its principal object is to stimulate interest in the works of the Negro in various fields of endeavor. The past year's program has been inter- esting and varied. During the first semester, Miss Jackson, head of the history depart- ment, spoke on The Negro's Place in Am- erican History. At the next meeting Mr. Hunt, of the School Board, discussed the [ FIFTY-SEVEN work of the colored boys and girls of the present. In addition to several student programs, a chapel program was presented, featuring Mr. Joseph Lockett, a concert pianist from Philadelphia. The officers for the first semester were: president, LaFenus Hutchins; vice president. Pansy Watson; secretary, Altamese Harris; treasurer, Eugenia Hines; for the second semester: president, Alexander Butler; vice president, Pansy Watson; secretary, Clara Jones; treasurer, Mary Maloney. CLARA JONES, June, '36.

In February their positions were filled by Wil- liam Duncan, president; Abraham Oppen- heim, vice president; Elizabeth Cross, secre- tary; and Pauline Hays, treasurer. The first presentation of the season was Two Slatterns and a King, by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The cast included Elizabeth Scatchard, Alice Hurwitz, Ray Gantz, and Alexander Cosinuke.

ELIZABETH CROSS, June, 36. QUALITY STREET Every year the Dramatic Society presents its finest array of talent in the spring play. This spring our advisers chose Quality Street, a delightful love story by James Barrie. The plot weaves an interesting pat- tern around two maiden sisters, Miss Su- san Throssel, Elizabeth Scatchard, and Miss Phoebe Throssel, Mary Ellen Starr. Miss Phoebe, in love with Valentine Brown, Frank Lamey, finds herself in a difficult situation, which, after many trying and humorous incidents, reaches a delight- ful climax. Other characters excellently portrayed were: Miss Fanny Willoughby, Helen Newill; Miss Mary Willoughby, Almira Morgan; Miss Henrietta Turnbull, Kath- erine button; Harriet, Aida Albanese; Charlotte Parratt, Dorothy Price; Patty, Georganna Dewees; Ensign Blades, Fred- eric MacDowell, Jr.; Old Soldier, Benson Ozer; Spicer, Robert Sakers; Gallant, [ FIFTY-NINE tj av mm wo wS ma m£ � « kw 1 � “ UL Ui UJ o 171 ia UL Mi M — — Samuel Fox; Recruiting Sergeant, James Ettner; School Children, Elizabeth Warren, William Duncan, Walter Matthews, Nino Montani, Kathryn Turner, Sarah Jester, Jo- seph Shisler, Albert Bonier, Mae Frame, Leo O'Hara, Pauline Haber; Dancers, Ruth Vredenburgh, Louise Weaver, and Ruby Rucker; Quadrille Players, Benson Ozer, Elizabeth Ross, and Mary Tollin. Much of the play's success was due to the untiring work of Miss Florence Wil- liams, Miss Leah Jordan, and Miss Mary Muldoon, and the various committees. ELIZABETH CROSS, June, '36. THE MINSTREL Plantation Melodies , a minstrel spon- sored by the combined Boys' and Girls’ Athletic Associations, in the Smedley Jun- ior High School Auditorium, on the night of May 1, was a tremendous success. This pro- duction was the first of its kind, and its re- ception warrants its place in the school calendars of the future. The end men, Mush Mouth Jackson , Ellwood Smith; Mose , Robert Wright; Sugarfoot , Lamport Warren; Jupiter , Harry Price; and Lightning , Arthur Hart- man; kept the audience in a continual up- roar. The singing of Mary Tollin, Almira Mor- gan, and Elizabeth Ross was one of the highlights of the production. Fancy tap dances were given by Ruth and Jane Mor- ton, and Adolf Swimmer. The novelty of two trios was introduced with much success. The choral work and solo singing were supervised by Mr. Charles D. Long. The end men were under the direction of Mr. W. Robinson Heard. ARTHUR HARTMAN, June, '36. THE DANCE ORCHESTRA One of the popular music organizations of the school is the dance orchestra. This club gives its services to the various organ- izations by providing music for their dances. Sixteen young people are included in the group, including three violins, four saxo- phones, three trumpets, two trombones, one guitar, one accordion, one piano, and drums. Mr. Long organized the group and directs it. This orchestra has played several con- certs for such service groups as the Kiwanis Club and the Delaware County Industrial Club. Mary Tollin and Almira Morgan as- sisted as vocal soloists. Letters expressing deep appreciation were received from the officers of the clubs. THE BAND This organization, under the direction of Mr. Zelley, needs no introduction to any high school pupil. Its fine showing on the athletic field has given the student body and the people of Chester a knowledge of its work, for this group plays at all the foot- ball games and other important athletic contests. In the spring concert, the band proved it could also do good concert work. The pro- gram closed with a group of numbers by this club. A drive for new uniforms for the band was inaugurated this year; and by next season, we hope to see the members out- fitted as a Chester High School band should be dressed. We hope the alumni and the people of Chester will aid in this project. THE MIXED CHORUS This club is composed of seventy boys and girls, who have as their objective the studying of choral music. Their work in the Christmas concert proves that they are de- veloping and should soon rival the Girls' Club in the quality of their work. The important appearance of the club was in the spring concert on June 4. The following numbers were thoroughly en- joyed by the audience: (1) Carmena, by Wilson; (2) Italian Street Song, from Naughty Marietta, by Victor Herbert, with Mary Tollin as soloist; (3) Greeting to Spring, by Strauss, with Elizabeth Ross as soloist. [ SIXTY-ONE THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The orchestra is one of the most active and valuable organizations of the school. This group, which meets on Thursday morn- ings for rehearsal, plays for the assemblies and provides music for the evening pro- grams of the various school organizations. The orchestra took part in the Christmas program, and played an excellent group of numbers in the spring concert. Mr. Zelley ably directs the organization, which has a membership of forty enthu- siastic, hard-working boys and girls. THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club, capably directed by Mr. Long, is one of the most flourishing activities of the school. It comprises 120 girls, who meet each Thursday morning to rehearse, and to study choral music. The high standard of their work was evi- denced when they were chosen to present a program on Friday evening, March 27, at the University of Pennsylvania, as a fea- ture of Schoolmen's Week. The entire can- tata Light, by Kountz, was sung, with two accompanists, Esther Quimby and Elinore Harkness. This club presents a Christmas candle- light service each year, in addition to help- ing materially in the annual spring concert of the school's music clubs. The soloists this year are Mary Tollin, soprano, the club president; Elizabeth Ross, soprano; and Almira Morgan, con- tralto. THE WELCOME With another successful year completed, we salute the Welcome as a splendid school paper which has been giving the news of the school since 1929. This paper has been published chiefly through the efforts of the members of the Newswriters' Club. Frank Lamey as editor has willingly put much time and thought on this publication to keep up the good reputation it has gained. Alexander Cos- inuke has assisted the editor, and the heads of the various departments and other mem- bers of the Club have done their work well. This year the paper has retained its five- column size, and three new departments were inaugurated: a freshman column, a sophomore column, and a freshman book- shelf. These were added as special induce- ments for the lower classmen to buy the paper. Miss Florence Williams has given a great amount of time to the Welcome. She has helped each of the departments in its work and even managed to do the little extra things that were always developing. Because of the success of this publication, we know the Welcome will not be allowed to die, but will be enjoyed by every future student in Chester High School. CECELIA BUCK, '36.

SIXTY-TWO ] FOOTBALL TEAM Under the capable tutelage of Coach John Abrams and his assistants, Mr. Dwyer and Mr. Heard, the Orange and Black gridiron warriors completed one of the most successful seasons in recent years. Stalwart Captain Ryan and his loyal team- mates won nine out of eleven Barnes. Chester scored 179 points against its op- ponents, who were able to account for only 13 points. Chester’s success was due largely to its exceptionally fine line, which opened holes for the backs to advance the ball. A trio of these linesmen were so outstanding in their performance throughout the season that they received high honors. Snuffy’' Smith, whose work at end was a highlight of every game, was chosen All-Suburban end; Captain Ed” Ryan and ’’lzzy Sachs both received All-Delco honors. Jimmy Turk was chosen captain for next year in recogni ion of his able field generalship. His temporary absence, due to his injury received in the Pottstown game, was felt keenly. Others, who were perhaps less spectacular but none the less instrumental in Chester’s fine football showing, were Hobaugh, small, wiry halfback; Hartman, big, line-crashing fullback; and Drabkow- ski, blond, plunging halfback. Chester started its season with a six game winning streak, defeating Ridley Township, 6-0; Eddystone, 18-0; Abington, 14-0; Collingdale, 14-0; Norristown, 6-0; and St. Roberts, 37-0. In the Norristown game Chester's stalwart line showed its power by holding the brilliant Norristown half- back, Peppy Campbell, on the two-yard line for three downs in the last two minutes of play. It was in the same game that Bob Wright, Chester's end, caught the pass which paved the way to victory. Two defeats, administered by Pottstown, 6-3, and Wilmington, 7-6, followed the Nor- ristown victory, after which Chester con- quered du Pont High School, 21-0, and Upper Merion, 33-0. Chester won the annual Turkey Day fray by defeating its ancient rival. Media, 14-0, before a crowd which jammed the P. M. C. stadium to overflowing. Though many of the mainstays of the team played their last game for Chester, their performances will remain fresh in the minds of students who saw them gain gridiron fame for Chester High. BASEBALL The crack of the bat, a mad dash for first base, and baseball season was offi- cially underway. This year's intramural schedule was badly disrupted by the two shifts. The af- ternoon classes were unable to be repre- sented, and the league included only the five sections that report to school in the morning. Mr. Agan was the sponsor of the 10B team, and Mr. Dwyer coached the 11A squad. Mr. Huber's strong 1 IB nine was the leader and probable winner of the league. The two senior groups were coached by Mr. Abrams and Mr. Smithers. The varsity team, composed of boys from the five class teams, began their season by defeating the Swarthmore J. V.'s, 7-3. Ryan and Smith, catchers, and Des- mond, Zeallor, Viniaz, W. Turner, and Podgany, offered a varied list from which to select a reliable battery. Candidates for infield berths included Sileo, Glaback, Rosenberg, Klotz, Turk, J. Turner, and Levy. The outfield positions were filled by Babe, Stress, Ettner, G. Smith, and Leonard. The remaining games of the season are with Yeadon, Collingdale, Upper Darby, Wilmington, Eddystone, and Springfield. BASKETBALL Displaying the speed and skill obtained by long sessions of practice under the watchful eye of Coach John Abrams, Ches er High's basketball team terminated a fairly successful season with a record of ten victories and eight defeats. Six of the victories were league games, and en- titled Chester to fourth place ranking in Section One of the Suburban Conference. Coach Abrams had a formidable quin- tet, with Birney and Ickes as forwards, Turk and Smith as guards, and Cecil Bond, lanky Negro, at center. Bond's playing was [ SIXTY-THREE superb throughout the season. Ickes's speed and Birney's accuracy made Ches- ter a foe to be reckoned with. The season opened with a victory over Abington, 27-17, followed by two more victories, one over St. Roberts, 25-13, and another over Cheltenham, 31-11. Norris- town gave Chester its first set-back, 32-23, chiefly because of the towering height of the Norristown players. Chester retaliated with a 28-23 win over Eddystone and a 20- 12 victory over Upper Darby. Wilmington defeated Chester, 32-17, but Chester came back to win two straight; the first at Hav- erford's expense, 30-14, and the second over Abington, 24-13. Graduation and ineligibility caused Mr. Abrams to be faced with the problem of rebuilding the team. The vacancies were filled admirably by Levey, Davidson, Har- vey, and Glatts. After suffering a defeat at the hands of the strong Pierre S. du Pont team, 35-15, Chester beat Cheltenham, 30-27, and Media, 22-19. Norristown downed Chester again, 32-23; St. Roberts avenged a pre- vious defeat, 16-12; and Upper Darby beat Chester for the second time, 25-19. Chester defeated P. M. C. Prep, 19-9, and Haver- ford, 25-20, to complete the regular season. In the Kiwanis Tournament, Chester was eliminated from competition after losing to Collingdale, 25-19. Losing only four out of sixteen encount- ers, Coach Heard's Jay Vees terminated an equally successful season. The formidable starting line-up included Captain Joe Saltz- man, center; Gressenbucher and Buchanan, forwards; Lastowka and Miller, guards. Coach Heard's Jay Vees were a valu- able source of experienced players, who stepped into the vacancies left at mid-year in the ranks of the first team. Next year's varsity squad will be greatly strengthened by their addition. CROSS-COUNTRY Sweating bodies and heaving sides were only two of the hardships Coach Lange's Cross - Country team had to endure throughout their none too successful sea- son. Injuries proved a great handicap and were among the reasons why Chester ended the season with two wins and three losses. Bill McClenachan suffered a dislo- cated hip and was unable to compete for the remainder of the season. Walter Sterner, a newcomer to the ranks of the distance runners, placed first con- sistently, and Captain Harvey Rawson turned in good performances. Other mem- bers of the team who won letters were McClenachan, Murray, Goldsborough, Hladky, and Evans. Sam Gross, cheerful manager, also was awarded a letter. Chester opened its season by defeating West Chester, 31-25, and Ridley Township, 31-24. Norristown, expecting an easy win, came to Chester and nosed out Chester High by the score of 33-24. The last two meets of the season were defeats. The first was administered by Williamson, 36-19, and the second by Lower Merion, 37-18. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Our girls' basketball team was neither the most successful nor the highest scoring team in the county, but it was composed of girls who could lose with a smile, and win without boasting. Assured of the prowess of their rivals, several of the defeats were no surprise. Two of these defeats were at the hands of a strong Eddystone team, but Chester gave them the two hardest fights of the season, and held their star forward to one of the lowest scores of her entire basketball ca- reer. However, the sting of defeat was no longer felt after the team won from Glen- Nor, Delaware County Champions of 1935 and previously undefeated in 1936. Ches- ter was the only county team besides Lansdowne and Eddystone to accomplish this upset. The peak of the season was the defeat of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf at Mount Airy, in Philadelphia. For four years Chester's teams have tried to upset their friendly P. 1. D. rivals in vain. This year the team fought nobly. In the last few minutes of a thrilling game, they [ SIXTY-FIVE GIRLS- GOLF TEAM scored a basket, and held their slim one- point lead until the whistle blew. Next season the team will sorely miss the Delaware County foul-shooting cham- pions, Pauline Hays and Anne Stecula. These girls cooperated in the games so well that each totaled about the same number of points. Mary Hall, jump center, could always be depended on to get the jump. According to Miss Pittenger, Rita Schmidt is one of the best guards that ever played on a high school team. The other guards were Sarah Crowley, Lilyan Boyd, and Isabel Clark. Lilyan is the first sopho- more to break into the varsity line-up since Pauline Hays accomplished the feat during her first year at the High School. Isabel Clark, playing basketball for the first time, proved such an asset that she soon won a place on the varsity, and she has also been elected as co-captain for next year. The other co-captain, Catherine Mullaney, started as a forward on the second team, but her speed scon enabled her to fill one of the most difficult positions on the varsity, side-center. Virginia Hub- bell was the team's manager. Miss Pittenger, beloved coach of the girls, inspired the best work of which they are capable. Although the season was not par- ticularly successful in the matter of vic- tories. the girls learned to love the game and—win or lose—always remain good sports. VIRGINIA HUBBELL, June '36. GOLF Mr. Pritchard, coach of the Orange and Black golfers, has been drilling his fair- wayers in preparation for the forth-coming golf campaign, and is delighted with the outlook. He has an experienced combina- tion to put on the course, with Feeser at number one position, as the ace. Number two is Szegda; number three, Hess; number four, Lamont; number five, Andrew Chem- ycz. Other members of the squad are Mail- man, Warner, and Joseph Chemycz. Every Chester golfer is playing his last season of golf for his Alma Mater. Dear Kay, Our golfing season started with a swish. With Miss Murdock leading, we girls thought we were going to do big things; but alas, the weather has been so bad that when we do go out, our few at- tempts to hit the ball result in a general tearing up of the turf of Chester Park. My dear, you should see me! Miss Mur- dock demonstrates how the club should be held, but by the time I follow through my swing. I'm all tied up in knots. We play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The girls usually make sure to get there so that they can laugh at the spectacle each one makes of herself. We just grin and bear it, however, be- cause our motto is that old saying, He who laughs last, laughs longest. In a few weeks we ll have mastered that club (and ball), so well that we can close our eyes and whack it with no fear of destroying Nature's beauti- ful top soil. Then we'll take on all oppon- ents. I'll write to you later and tell you how we all make out. Sincerely yours, PAULINE HAYS, June, '36. TRACK Chester High School’s track team, under the guiding eye and mind of Coach Lange, is working out in preparation for the com- ing season. Mr. Lange has high hopes of Chester's enjoying a better season than did the 1935 Chester tracksters, who drop- ped dual meets to Swarthmore and Media, came in second in a triangular meet with Prospect Park and Darby, and then closed the season by defeating Eddystone. Coach Lange and his assistant, Coach Heard, have a wealth of material to choose from, with veterans Arthur Hartman, Bill Hess, William Toran, Ray Burgess, and Ed Strazala leading in the quest for varsity berths. Much is expected of Shawd and Wright, both veterans, and Stan Stress, a newcomer. Walter Sterner has already proved his ability by placing second in the mile run in the Delaware County Interscholastic Track Meet. The award was a silver medal.

HIKING CLUB On a bright, sunny day during May Most merrily we trudged away; And we all hiked along With our hearts full of song, Just like kids out of school for the day. Our gay faces showed our affection For the brooks and their mirrored reflection; We saw the green grass, We heard a bird pass; But our thoughts were with bags of con- fection. We traveled o'er hill and through dell, Watching summer emerge from her shell; If we took a hop. Declared hiking a flop, There was not one among us who'd tell. As the day finally drew to a close. Oh! My! Not one of you knows How we suffered from heat And our poor blistered feet, With their ten badly mistreated toes. PAULINE HAYS, June, '36.
