But evidently such volubility springs from a verit- able storehouse of knowledge, which likewise accounts for his high scholastic rating. ' Glee Club, X, A. Cappella Choir, X, XI, Track, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII, Science Club, XII. DOROTHY L. ARNETT ACADEMIC Take a mixture of moods cmd flashes of gaiety, add abundant sociability and comradeship, spice with elfish friendliness, and cover well with pep and enthusiasm-there you have Dot Such an agreeable blend should prove a happy recipe for success. Band, X, Basketball, X, Glee Club, X, Orchestra, X, Hockey, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Class Play, XI, A Ccrppella Choir, XII, Cheerleader, XII, Probies' Club, XII. MARY BARRON COMMERCIAL Would that we all possessed as much verve and enthusiasm as Mary, would that we had such loyalty to ideals as she. The picture we shall always have of Mcxry is a line one of a straight-forward friend. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Hockey, XI, XII, Cheerleader, XII, Cinema Club, XII, Colhumr, XII. ELIZABETH E. BEARDSLEY COMMERCIAL Come on, now 1et's make this one a good one. Let it ring! is Betty's plea as she leads cheers in assembly. Nature seemed to endow Betty with an over-abundance of plprsuasion, drive, cmd enthusiasm with emphasis upon all t ree. Glee Club, X, Collaumr, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Cheerleader, X, XI, Head Cheerleader, XII, Class Play, XI, Hi-Y, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hockey, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI. 18 WAYNE C. BENSON ACADEMIC For sheer enjoyment of every mirth provoking incident Benny has no peer. But this young man is not merely a passive spectator of chance humor, for his own quiet contribu- tions are anything but the common garden variety. .But seri- ously, Wayne's manliness and refined demeanor have impressed us all. Art Club, X, Science Club XII. MIRIAM S. BERSTEIN ACADEMIC A detached leisurely pace while strolling through the halls, languid eyes, and an efficacious drawl are all typical of MIch. But one of her most admirable traits is her utter composure in the face of persistent aggravation on the part of teasing classmates. Glee Club, X, Band, X, XI, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. LILLIAN F. BETTERMAN COMMERCIAL Lil is a devotee of the dance, that is, she is always prac- ticing new and intricate steps. Now, in all certainty, dancing is not Lil's most commendable virtue, it isn't even a virtue, however, it is most typical of her. We have enjoyed those dances, Lil, Glee Club. X, Operetta, X, Cheerleader, X, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. MARTHA I. BITTERLIN ACADEMIC Mots just bubbles over with irrepressible merriment and the joy of living. She meets each new task with an unvarying good humour and a pleasant willingness that have made her a universal favorite. Would that there were more of us like Mots ! ' Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Hockey, X, XI, XII, A Cap- pella Choir, XI, XII, Colhumr, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELLEN BOOZ ACADEMIC Regardless of the weather, we can always depend on E1len's being in her accustomed place. However, this ever- present and punctual young lady with lustrous eyes is the rightful claimant to prominent honors as a worthy class com- panion. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Probies' Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELINOR M. BROBSTON COMMERCIAL El possesses a quality of loquaciousness that is enter- taining to all. Whether she is in school or out, she may always be seen contributing her humorous remarks or telling of her exciting experiences. Who could extract more thunder- ous yells from a crowd than cheerleader, El ? Glee Club, X, Basketball, X, Hockey, X, XI, Operetta, X, XII, Cheerleader, XII. ESTHER A. BURR ACADEMIC Here is a lady with soft blond hair and fair complexion, who has not lost the vanishing art of blushing. Moreover, what melodies of haunting loveliness can Essie not call forth at the touch of her hands upon the keys! She has served her school well. Glee Club, X, Orchestra, Pianist, X, XI, XII, Band, XI, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII, THE COLSEN- IAN Staff, XII. SARAH H. BYRNE COMMERCIAL It is not often that a person can have as many fingers in school pies, especially musical pies, as Sadie and still retain the same pleasant reticence. Morning, noon, and afternoon, Sadie is always the same, never cross, never tiring. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, X, DOROTHY E. CARLIN COMMERCIAL Have you ever met a person with whom the world is in complete accord? Well, Dot is that person. She receives uncomplainingly all tasks and all problems that fall to her, masters them and so continues. Always building, always a sweet, sympathetic comrade-our Dot. Glee Club, X, Operetta, XI, Bloomsburg Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. THOMAS CHARLES ACADEMIC Reticent and shy Chip appears to most of his classmates. But be not deceived! Beneath this exterior lies a genial and frank nature. Furthermore, his commendable teamwork on the football field has been a contributing factor in many a game. Hi-Y, X, Football, XI, XII. FLORENCE M. CHASE ACADEMIC We all know Floss, the girl with the refreshing air of wholesomeness and the soft friendly voice. She has the unique ability to sense the best, to seek the best, and to stand for the best. We cherish Floss's steadying influence. Glee Club, X, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Student Council, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, Xl, XII, Hi-Y, Xl, XII, Probies' Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. MARY J. CLARK COMMERCIAL Mary is a quiet member of '39. Those who know her best appreciate her true and loyal friendship. With methodical precision she executes her daily assignments. Although we are not aware of her future plans, we extend to her our best wishes. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X. XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Probies' Club, XII. I A I 19 ROBERT D. COLE ACADEM1C This is our earnest president, who has, for the last three years, shouldered willingly the major responsibility of keeping our class from going astray. This accomplished proficiency is due, in large measure, to Bob's knack of welding class effort into class success. A Cappella Choir, X, XI, Band, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Orchestra, X, XI, Class President, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, X, XI, XII, Class Play, XI. GURVIN W. COLLINS ACADEMIC With his carefree cavortings, Gurv has the faculty of carelessly garnering innumerable and lasting friends. He seems to have a unique philosophy that makes like good to the last drop. Obviously, Gurv's main enjoyment in school is de- rived from athletics. Baseball, X, XI, Captain, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII. ROSALIE M. COLLINS COMMERCIAL ' An aureola of curls frames Rosalie's delicate features. She is our lady debonair and cheerful. We surmise from her membership in the Probies' Club that she is considering nursing as her life's work. If so, we predict that she will make a charming nurse. Glee Club, X, Cinema Club, XI, Probies' Club, XII. DOROTHY M. CONGLETON COMMERCIAL Dot is very fond of keys, not only typewriter keys, but ivory ones as well, for she has a deep appreciation of good music. Dot has a fine alto voice, and consequently is a member of the senior sextet. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII. 20 F. GENEVIEVE CONNOR ' COMMERCIAL Moonglow and pale satin, sound of the dance, lyric grace, and a gay abandon of care-all of these phrases equal one person- Gen This charming miss will be remembered for her skillful enactment of both siren and heroine roles in our class dramatics. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, A Cappella Choir, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. VIVIAN I. COSTELLO COMMERCIAL A rippling sound of laughter, a gaiety of manner, and a zealous love of life combine in the person of our Viv, And as to sports, she can easily master any or all of them. Surely, this versatility should serve to aid Viv in achieving life's goal. Basketball, X, XII, Hockey, X, XII, Operetta, X, XII, Col- humr, XII, Cinema Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. CLIFFORD P. CROWERS ACADEMIC A breath of poetry, a bit of fluent French, and a touch of the debonair--that is Cliff, His impartial friendliness, his gentle sensitivity, his refinement, and his eager desire to please have brought him just rewards. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Hi-Y, XI, A Cappella Choir, XII, Class Play, XII, Collaumr, XII, Operetta, XII, TI-IIE COLSENIAN, Editor-in-Chief, XII. MARGARET M. DATTE COMMERCIAL In many ways Marge is a contradiction. With her auburn locks, she should be a lass of impulsive moods. She is anything but that. Ordinarily Marge is no feminine Mercury, how- ever, on the hockey field her winged feet have many times out- distanced her opponents. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Collaumr, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. RALPH L. DIEHL ACADEMIC Happy am I, from care am I free. This is typical of Ike -the original Ike, never worrying or studying too hard but always ready to elicit a laugh. But don't ever mention feminine acquaintances, or that crimson color is certain to creep over his ace. HERBERT A. DRUEDING PRACTICAL ARTS Such geniality as is found in Hick is indeed rare, as is his versatility. No wonder he has been cast in both of our class productions. Then, too, he has the knack of combining athletic prowess with witticism. Basketball, X, Chef Club, X, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Baseball, XI, A. A. Council, XI, XII, Class Play, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELSIE H. DUKES COMMERCIAL Are you in need of a true friend? If so, Elsie is that person, for her deep understanding gaze and hesitant smile are a balm that soothes the most troubled brow. Not to be overlooked, however, are her achievements as a hockeyist and an able bas- ketball manager. Glee Club, X, Hockey, XI, XII, Basketball Manager, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Secretary to Teacher, XII. JOHN B. DUPONT COMMERCIAL Focus your optics upon Duke, who seldom fails to make a dramatic appearance. But that is the way John does things. Besides, who would ever think that such an innocent-looking person could cause so much uproar? No matter, John, we like you just as you are. Baseball, X, Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, Class Play, XI, ELMER W. EDGE COMMERCIAL Beez is a saunterer. He strolls about school with his wor- ries, if present, subdued. Beez, though, always seems to meander where the fun is brewing, and he never fails to add his bit. Here's to success, Elmer! JAMES F. ELLIOTT PRACTICAL ARTS Peanut, needless to say, is of diminutive stature. Having directed the affairs of the football squad as he did, he has be- come a manager of some renown. Peanut, is another musician of the class, and a very good one at that. Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, XII, Football, Manager, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII. JOHN P. ELLIS ACADEMIC May we present-but, oh, how stupid we are! Of course, you know 'IBig John or Daddy John, as we affectionately call him. We do not suppose that there is anyone who has not seen his lumberous bulk on the football field, nor failed to appreciate his admirable personality. Student Council, X, Hi-Y, X, XI, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XII. RAYMOND FISHER ACADEMIC Hello, there! This is amateur station, F., calling sta- tion, XXYZ.U Who can this be? , No one but our electrically- minded classmate, Kay. Few of us suspected that this was his liking, but then you never can tell. Best of luck, Kay ! Football, XI, XII, Track, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII, Varsity Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. 21 1 l ERNEST W. FITZGERALD COMMERCIAL Tall ships, strange happenings, foreign lands and peoples- all of these heed the urgent call of the adventurous mind, the sensitive imagination. Ernie,' is just such a voyager traveling into a magic world, Ending friends and enjoyment, that lie between the bookends. ROBERT L. ERITZ PRACTICAL ARTS The cat, according to the old adage, must certainly have played havoc with Fritz's tongue. He is undoubtedly the most secretive individual we know, never saying more than a few words at a time. We have an idea, though, that Fritz is not so quiet among his cronies. Track, XI, Football, XII. JOSEPH P. GUETTER COMMERCIAL Here is our candidate for the distinction of tallest senior. Somewhat retiring in disposition, Joe, turns his industrious- ness toward practical ends. A mechanic by inclination, Joe just loves to tinker with motors, and as a hobby, he thoroughly understands the mechanics of chess. Hi-Y, XI, XII, Football, XII. FRANK J. HAGAN PRACTICAL ARTS Frank's happiest moments have been spent in bringing honor to C. H. S. through his wholehearted participation in baseball and basketball. His nonchalance and penetrating smile are all his own. Frank's sense of sportsmanship will certainly be an asset in his future contacts. Baseball, X, XI, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Chef Club, XII, Varsity Club, XII. 22 ROBERT J. HAGERTY ACADEMIC Here is a future rival of Lawrence Tibbett! We say that with absolute conviction. But judging from his manliness, his innate thoughtfulness, and his mature appreciations, we main- tain that achievement in almost any field will be his. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Boys' Chorus, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, Business Manager, XII. HANORA V. HANLY COMMERCIAL A little gay chatter, a sense of humor, and a few droll ex- pressions-here, you have Nonie, a conversationalist supreme. Her presence is welcome at all socials, and her hospitable man- ner and dependability account for her attractive personality. Basketball, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Cinema Club, XII, Cal- laumx Staff, XII, Probies' Club, XII. MARIE I. HANLY ACADEMIC A picturesque bit of old Erin is Marie, smiling eyes, a burst of laughter, and a tenacious desire to defend her convictions in the face of opposition. These argumentative abilities have pre- vailed in many a Probs battle of wits. Best of luck to our colleen! Glee Club, X, Hockey, Manager, XII, Probies' Club, XII. ELIZABETH J. HARNEST COMMERCIAL Chubby-cheeked Betty is constantly giggling, and we do mean giggling. The smiles just wreathe her face, ripples com- ing to the surface from a joyous heart. Everything arnuses her, perhaps that's why we like her so. She makes even the most preplexing problem seem trivial and unimportant. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII. A. JAY HARNEST ACADEMIC jay seems never to have a care in the world, except a few minutes before his notes are due. Despite his easy manner, jay's sunny temperament has won him a wide circle of friends. Although his plans are unknown to us, we are confident of his future achievement. Class Play, XI. MARY D. HARPER COMMERCIAL Individualism personified is Mary-one moment naive, the next, worldly-wise. Petite and dainty, she reminds one of a lively, but mischievous little elf g for even her closest friends have difficulty in predicting her next action. This little wisp of personality is, indeed, inimitable. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Class Play, XII, THE COLSEN- IAN staff, X11. J. WILLARD HAZELL PRACTICAL ARTS And now we come to Hank. This lad bears the earmarks of a truly great personality-honesty, perseverance, courage, modesty, and humility. We are glad, indeed, to claim him as a member of '39, Football, XI. MARGARET J. HEIMACH ACADEMIC Whether in the classroom or on the basketball floor, it is hard to suppress Peg's fun-loving nature. And yet, in her more serious moments she is characterized by a maturity of thought and an impartiality of judgment that cannot escape even the most casual observer. Glee Club, X, ODeretta. X: Basketball. X. XI. XII: Student CONSTANCE E. HERSHEY ACADEMIC Connie is a true exemplification of school spirit. Her ath- letic progress, scholastic standing, and numerous activities attest to this statement. Whatever she chooses for her life's work, we may rest assured that Connie will be capable of achieving success. Glee Club, X, Colbzzmr, X, XI, Editor-in-Chief, XII, Hockey, X, XI, Captain, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Student Council, XI, President, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, XII. ALBERT J. HILLIER COMMERCIAL The courage of the modern has A. J. With an inclination for the unusual, he literally breaks out in flashy clothes and white shoes in the middle of winter. Then, too, he has a dis- tinctive voice and a knack for new dance steps. Band, X, XI, XII, Operetta, XI, XII, Boys' Chorus, XII. WILLIAM H. HOBBS ACADEMIC The sky and the stage are the limits of Bill's aspirations. For him, conquering the heavens holds a never-ending fascina- tion. Not to be outdone, however, is the glamour of the theater. Whichever one you may choose, Bill, happy landing! Science Club, X, XI, XII, Airplane Club, XI, Track, XI, Class Play, XI, XII. ANN H. HOWARD COMMERCIAL Ann is a general favorite, not only because of her imper- turbable nature, but because of her culinary skill as well. To produce such delicacies as Ann's is truly an art. We like her, too, because she appreciates the line things of life. Basketball, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII. Council, X, XI, i 25 MARGARET M. HUDDY COMMERCIAL Marge has the aptitude and dexterity to act as secretary to the Council, nimbleness and grace to be a vigorous jitterbug , and steadfastness and cheerfulness to be a loyal friend. Because of her scholastic attainment, she is commended by the faculty, and because of her thoughtfulness, by her churns. Glee Club, X, Student Council, X, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Clug, XXII, Secretary to Teacher, XII, THE COLSENIAN Sta , I. ELIZABETH L. JORDAN COMMERCIAL Impulsive yet compliant, Betty is a lady of varying moods, and what is her favorite pastime? Why, a book, of course, for Betty is hardly ever without one. She has much broad and valuable experience culled from reading. Bloomsburg Club, XII. NORA V. KELLY COMMERCIAL The other half of the Roche-Kelly duo is Nora, a thor- oughly business-like and self-effacing person. With a pleasant smile ever on her lips, she goes about her daily tasks with an air of cordiality and quiet dignity. We shall miss her greatly upon graduation. X Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Library Club, XI, Probies' Club, II. ' ANTONETTE J. KLEIN COMMERCIAL W' e have had Antonette with us for many years, yet we know so little about, her, what she likes, what she does, what she thinks. But beyond that sphinx-like silence, we feel sure, lie many beautiful thoughts. Glee Club, X, Hockey, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Library Club, XI. 24 FLORENCE M. LAFFERTY COMMERCIAL Introducing the little prankster of the class. Laff can make more mischief in one hour than most of us can in a full day. But just turn her loose on the hockey field and those high spirits are quickly translated into goals. XGE? Club, X, Operetta, X, Library Club, X, Hockey, X, I, II. SAMUEL S. LAPPEN PRACTICAL ARTS Oh, you want to know, huh! Who could not recognize this signature as Sam's favorite query in English class? Well, Sam, we do want to know, not about English though, but what your designs for the future are. You will succeed, we feel sure. Glee Club, X, Class Play, XI, Baseball, Manager, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII. VERA E. LEHN COMMERCIAL Vera might easily be styled the typical American schoolgirl. Lively blue eyes and glistening blonde hair accentuate a pleasing outward appearance. But, her depth of spirit is even more admirable. Vera will undoubtedly make an ideal secretary for some energetic business man. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Class Treasurer, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, XII. DOROTHEA L. LELAND ACADEMIC Vivacity, a dash of sophistication, a radiant smile--a thor- oughly charming person is Dottie. In addition, her depend- ability has been proved by the many positions with which she has been entrusted. May her admirable traits bring her the realization of her cherished dreams. Glee Club, X, Basketball, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Class Secretary, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, President, XII, Hockey, XI, XII, A. A. Council, XII, Collmms, XII, THE COLSEN- IAN Staff, XI, Associate Editor, XII. WILLIAM J. LILLIG PRACTICAL ARTS At all times and in all matters Bill is unobtrusive. Such self-effacement is not accidental, but in his case proceeds from true inner character. For lessons in friendship, call on Bill, Cinema Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. MILDRED C. LOWRY COMMERCIAL Unhurried composure soon turns to fervent enthusiasm as Soon as Mil displays her skill to the sports world. Lurking beneath that innocent countenance is a sportive humor-not an overly exuberant one, but rather a subtle wit which keeps her associates continually mirthful. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. ALFRED S. MACFARLAND COMMERCIAL As a neutralizer of gloom and cheerlessness, Mac comes to the fore. He ably demonstrated his football ability this year and performed very well in the backlield, Mac is keen for all sports, especially football, as we mentioned, and track. Rather sporting, what? Band, X, XI, Track, X, XI, XII, Football, XI, XII, Hi-Y, Xfl, Varsity Club, XII. I. CL ARA B. MAGNESS COMMERCIAL To be a bit poetic, Clara has all the sweetness of the out- of-doors in spring. This tall and willowy maid found her way to us from Upper Darby this year, arriving in our midst with her welcome satchel of light-hearted smiles. A Cappella Choir, XII, Basketball, XII, Hockey, XII, LEROY J. MAGUIRE COMMERCIAL Whatever is said concerning Ernie,' must also be extended to include ROy. He and Ernie are inseparable companions, both during and after school hours except, of course, for the time Roy,' spends with his friends, Richard Halliburton and Zane Grey. DORIS M. MCCLINTOCK COMMERCIAL Rather like a little kitten, and a very lovable one at that, Duffy is at once the delight of everyone who makes her acquaintance. With her quick flurried gestures and her win- ning smile she frisks about the halls, coquettishly laughing with and enjoying everyone. , Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, A Cappella Choir, XI, Library Club, XI, Hi-Y, XI, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. DAVID A. MCCLURE ACADEMIC Puck in seven-league bootsu! How aptly that phrase de- scribes our Dave, A bundle of mischievous joviality, he is constantly playing pranks upon his indulgent classmates. But seriously, if you are in search of a true friend, look no further, you have found one in Dave. Golf Club, XI. JOSEPH L. MCHALE COMMERCIAL Excruciatingly funny with his many humorous remarks, Joe makes comical situations more humorous because he takes them seriously. But frankly, he is a capable person, having led the Hi-Y through a successful year. We are confident that his evenness of disposition will prove invaluable. Class play, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII, Chef Club, XII. Operetta, XII. 25 SARITA MCHUGH COMMERCIAL The Curly blond head that Sarita bears is fairly whirling with secretarial duties and with athletics. It controls a heart well filled with sterling qualities. Hurrying about school, scudding up and down the hockey field, or racing down the basketball floor, Sarita is always on the go. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. WILLIAM J. MCHUGH PRACTICAL ARTS Here we have had a promising young artist among us all these years, and we never knew it until recently. Of course, he never told us! But, indeed, true genius cannot be long concealed. You have our best wishes, Bill. HOWARD F. MESSICK ACADEMIC When glancing at Morsey, one sees a tall blond figure of aristocratic bearing with a calm and serious countenance. More- over, his many acquaintances will testify to Morsey's steady- ing influence in situations where good judgment and sound thinking are in demand. Basketball, X, XI, Baseball, XI, Varsity Club, XI, XII. WILLIAM E. METZ PRACTICAL ARTS Judging by the way Bill ambles through the hall, he never seems to have a care in the world. But when he reaches his destination, he is all business. Need we tell you that often business, for him, is a session with the big brass horn. Band, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII. 26 L COMMERCIAL Working himself to a frazzle for the honor of the basketball team or laboring doggedly on the baseball field, Monk always gives his best.

But it has been such a 1'I1C1T1- orable experience that we just had to pen these lines to tell you. It was all so beautiful. The night was quiet and friendly. Wfe could see the stars through the big win- dowthere on the left up so high, shining down and blinking at us. Why did they seem so bright tonight of all nights? Some looked around, evidently all of our classmates were listening . . . they seemed so tense . . . their faces were troubled. The very air was trem- ulous-vaguely uneasy. Then the pageant began, depicting the relationship of the school to the student, the student to the com- munity. This brought back memories. Memories . . . how sweet that word is, how magical. Why, we could remember . . . Pls X Pk Our first day as seniors. Oh, how proud we were! We strutted up and down, basking in the envious ad- miration of the underclassmen. However, the effect gradually wore off, the novelty was gone. To be sure we were still proud, but we thought it rather becoming to assume a gracious, condescending manner. Our first undertaking was the election of class offi- cers. That was a simple task, for we knew no one more capable for the presidency than Robert Cole, who had served in this capacity all during our high school life. To assist the president in his duties, we selected such competent aides as joseph Quirk, Vice-President, Dorothea Leland, Secretary, and Vera Lehn, Treasurer. In addition, five members of our class were elected to the Senior Class Cabinet. Their purpose was to advise the president and to relieve the executive body of harass- ing problems. This was to be the most successful year ever-we just knew. September sped merrily by. October was upon us. The burnished gold of Indian summer glimmered over the landscape. Our days were full, filled with studies and victory dances, for this was the football season, you know. The splendor of autumn provided a color- ful setting for the thrills and pageantry of the games. November acclaimed the success of our class play, China Boy. It was a success! And, my, but it was fun! Would that we had to do it all over again. Next in order were our portraits, taken after frantic searches for ties and coats, powder puffs, and combs. There was much apprehension before they were deliv- ered, and much relief when we vain creatures saw how well we looked. Of course, they were extremely flatter- ing. Even though we realized that money is not every- thing, we soon discovered that it helps a great deal, and we needed that help. So we decided to augment our funds by the sale of Christmas cards-certainly not a novel plan, but an exceedingly satisfactory one. How- ever, the income was not quite enough, so we enjoyably continued the practice of having numerous dances throughout the winter months. In this manner we man- aged to increase the size of our treasury immensely. The leaves of the calendar were falling-months withered and fell away into oblivion. Commencement, with its sadness, its farewells, its insecurity, loomed upon the horizon. We quickly turned our faces, lest it come all too soon and threw ourselves recklessly into prep- arations for that longed-for occasion-the trip to Wash- ington. Plans were formulated to make our visit a happy one, and before long we were bidding farewell to schoolmates and elated parents massed upon the station platform. On scheduled time the wheels of our train began to move, and we sped hurriedly toward the scene of cherry blossoms and marble structures. We could not begin to relate all the pleasant and amusing incidents that occurred. They still bring a chuckle, as we recall them. Then came one long-awaited event-our Prom. You see, for many of us, this was our first formal affair, and you may imagine how thrilled we were. The juniors were ideal hosts, and had spared no effort to make this, our closing social function, a long-to-be-remembered oc- casion. The last week of school slipped by so quickly. It seemed impossible that school could be over so soon. Class Night had come and gone. Baccalaureate was over. Commencement ...... '4 :if :lf ,lf Then in a Hash everything became clear. We were still at Commencement. Some of us had evidently been elsewhere in thought and had been reliving scene after scene of this, our final year. Yes, we were still in our places on the stage. The air was breathlessly still. The words of the benediction fell quietly-- Grant us true courage . . We looked about at the faces there beside us. Each seemed glowing with a new light. Eyes were shining. We were timorous no more. Commencement held no insecurity for us, no fears, for we now had courage, we had faith. Courage and faith! Faith and courage! Each knew that now he could not fail. 11-B HOMEROOM Third Roux' Hoag, MCHale, Huber, Larkins, King, Macauley, Lytle, Lochman, Mann, Gamble, Second Rauf: Marshall, Mc- Laughlin, W.

UNIOIQ UFIZICEIQS JACK WRIGHT Prefidefzl RICHARD TULLY Vice-Preyidem' MARY FLOYD Sef1'eta1'y ELLA WILSON T1'ea.fzn'er WE AIQE WRITING TO TELL VCU . Summer had come and gone. The coloring leaves of early autumn lent vividness to a certain morning still fresh in our memories, when again the warning bell announced the opening of another fall term. Perhaps this time the bell had an even more significant sound for us, for we were at long last junors. Yes, another school year had officially opened. We had passed through our freshmen and sophomore years happily and successfully, and now we were ready to make our junior year a worthy successor to past years and to lay a firmer, more constructive foundation for the senior year, which we had yet to experience. To accomplish our ends, we realized that one very important achievement must be the fostering of a co- operative attitude among the members of the group. After all, that should be the first resolution undertaken by any class. For that reason, we assembled and then set about electing officers who would be the very essence of this spirit of cooperation, and who, we felt, would be capable, inexperienced though they were, of assum- ing the taxing perplexities of guiding the class. We unanimously approved jack Wright for the President's chair g Richard Tully, Vice-President, Mary Floyd, Sec- retary, and Ella Wilson, Treasurer. We were proud to have as class advisers Miss Hentz and Mr. Dane- hower. In due time we had to consider the all-important problem of establishing a sound treasury that would withstand the constant drain of numerous expenses. We accordingly decidedupon a very novel plan, that of selling jackets and jerseys with the words Collingdale High Schoolu emblazoned on them. This plan was successful for two reasons: first, it did much to pub- licize the school, and second, it placed a large sum of money in the treasury. We were quite proud of our financial strategy. We felt ourselves quite proficient businessmen, you know. 'The annual junior dance was held in November. Again the class delightedly hit upon something new and different. Wisely they chose to hold a Sport Dance. The jitterbugs were served with plenty of swing and sway -not with Sammie Kay -but with the Varsity Club orchestra. The large cost of the dance diminished somewhat the income from the many tickets sold, but we were happy because the dance was both a social and a financial success. At our next class meeting someone suggested, Let's have another Sport Danceg but this time have a recording system, so that we can make more money. We all agreed that this was an idea. So the date was arranged, and we held the second successful dance of our junior year. We are now well along toward mid-term, and at the middle of the year our attention focused upon one interest-class rings. Yes, we all wanted class rings, but we all did not have the means to pay for them in full. To accommodate those who could not secure the full amount in a single day, time payments were ar- ranged. When at last these emblems arrived, we were very happy and very proud-happy because we were able to meet payments and proud because of the honor of being at last able to wear class rings. Probably the most important function of any class is the presentation of a play-a sure test of the ability of our classmates. Committees were appointed, try-outs for parts were held, and enthusiasm ran high. At the end of the first week of play preparation the class felt, as a whole, that through everyones cooperation, our play, The Call of the Bansheef' would be the greatest presentation of Collingdale's dramatic history. And then, on the evenings of March 17 and 18 our produc- tion was offered to the public. The excellent work of the class and the able direction of Mr. Haering, con- spired to make this thrilling mystery one that will not soon be forgotten. The memory of those nights when the auditorium was darkened and a ghost with a cane in his hand walked stealthily across the stage, with the weird and horrible call of the banshee issuing from the back- ground, will long be remembered by the class, who cooperated so brilliantly in the presentation of their nrst dramatic endeavor. Again the juniors had tri- umphed. The financial returns spoke well of our unique play. Soon came the tranquil month of May. And with May came the departure of our sophisticated seniors for Vifashington. We juniors were very sorrowful to see them go. However, we did carry their suitcases to the train-not to hurry them off, you see, but just to be of some assistance. ' At last the train pulled away, and we were kings for three whole days! just think of it! Three whole days! Then we tried our skill at imitating the seniors- assuming a somewhat disdainful attitude, and an ex- ceedingly pained expression when accosted by lower classmen. However, the traditional junior Baby Day came along and was more alluring than class work. Remember all of the amusing costumes-big husky fel- lows in baby dresses, girls in pigtails carrying dolls, and the abundance of lollipops and taffy? Did we have fun! We shall never forget that day. Then the Prom! What a delightfully expressive word that is-the Prom. What a world of enchantment, of happiness it connotes! Lights glowing warmly across the sloping lawns of the Brookline Country Club, and the spell of music-all of these combined to make this evening a beautiful and unforgettable experience. june with Baccalaureate and Commencement! Upon these two occasions we served, many of us, in the ca- pacity of ushers, and how proud we were to do so! Again the scene shifted. The unceasing course of time moved on. Friends, companions of our high school years had taken another step in their lives. We, too, will soon take one. But with this step friendships will not be broken, cannot be forgotten. We hope that during this year we have grown in character and in right living-this has been our major aim. Having realized the responsibilities of good citi- zenship, we trust, too, that we are better prepared to assume them. Of course, we really know so little. But we confess that we have attained certain goals that we, perhaps, never visioned before. We know something of true friendship, of self-control, of cooperation, of courtesy, of respect, of tolerance, and, above all, we have attained an understanding of both ourselves and of our fellow- students. It is our fond hope that the coming year, and those to follow, will enrich that understanding and make it the cherished possession of us all. 10-A HOMEROOIW Fouvifa Row: Oberdorf, Palmer, Paxson, G.

In September the student council assembled as a merged organization comprising both of the former council groups. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Nissley and Mr. Hartzell, the work of a busy year was begun. Routine activities were augmented by the entertain- ment of the Suburban Student Council Conference held in February. In all, one hundred eighty-four delegates attended, making the conference a very worthwhile un- dertaking. The social life of the council was provided for with a fall party and mid-winter dance. It was with a spirit of anticipation that the members closed the yearls work, after having carefully devised plans for expanded ser- vice with the opening of next season.

CGLHUN6 Under the guidance of Mrs. Donaldson and Miss Childs, Colhzzmr, our semi-monthly school paper has continued its purpose, by reflecting in its news items, the everyday life of the school. This year, as in the eight preceding years of its exist- ence, it has provided an outlet for student creative writ- ing of a journalistic nature. A unique service provided for the members of the graduating class was repeated. This was the preservation of Washington views, activi- ties of Class Night, and the student-prepared program for Commencement. Although the staff will be depleted as a result of graduation, capable replacements will doubtless be found among these added to the group during the year. Editor-in-Chief .....

LIBIQAIQY CLUB Books all in order, broken backs repaired, torn pages mended, scrapbooks up to date, bulletin boards attrac- tively arranged-yes, we see that the girls of the Library Club have been at work again. The orderly appearance of the library is evidence of that. This club does not especially attract the attention of the student body by its activities, but rather moves quietly and unobtrusively, providing an interesting and recrea- tional pastime for its members. The membership of the group is limited to eight senior high school girls. Meeting regularly every other Wednesday, these girls are of inestimable value in aiding Mrs. Meell, the librarian and their sponsor. President . . . ....

Have you ever wandered about in the art room, looking at the original works displayed? Many of these are achievements of the Art Club. Have you ever realized that these exhibits-portraits, landscapes, soap carving, leathercraft-are there because many per- sons had an urge for creative expression? These pro- ductions did not just happen, they are the evidence of ability that few of us possess. These students of Mr. Baldino's deserve commenda- tion and encouragement because of their exceptional works, which have won many prizes, or at least honor- able mention, at both state and national contests.

GWM5'HLY On October 28 with the proverbial black cats in at- tendance the Hi-Y, guided by Miss Hentz, gave a Hal- lowe'en party to inaugurate their social season. How- ever, the black cats on the threshold of the year by no means brought ill luck to the activities that were to follow, for the organization witnessed the culmination of its plans with crowning achievement. These were a faculty tea, an alumnae social, a Moth- ers, Day assembly, and a novel Sweetheart Dance. The spiritual purpose of the club was embodied in the tra- ditional Easter Service.

Ethel Dickson BUYS HLY No organization within the school can usurp the deep- rooted position that the Hi-Y organization occupies. Perhaps it might be well to note just what the Hi-Y is and what it stands for. The Hi-Y is essentially a religious organization, how- ever, it recognizes no one creed. It merely endeavors to form one universal brotherhood, into which all may willingly join. It is hoped that through that union will come a better understanding of each other and better co- operation among the members themselves. This year Mr. Beaver replaced Mr. Groff as adviser of the boys' organization. Prexiderrt ..... .... J oseph McHale Vive-Preriderzt .... ....

No one is able to conjecture what new creations will in- crease our material possessions. Realizing that the dis- coverers of these wonders are the youth of today, the Science Club, under the guidance of Mr. Baldelli, has endeavored to develop the interest and the scientific ability of these students. This organization visited Franklin Institute, and the Bell Telephone Company. It sent a delegation to the Suburban Conference of Science Clubs at Upper Darby High School, and sponsored a scientific assembly pro- gram of unique character.

It was in keeping with this new trend, that the Cinema Club has come to occupy an important place in the life of our school. During the past year, supervised by Mr. Bradley, it helped make traditional the efficient service offered by the club since its institution. For the social and edu- cational advancement of its members, the club visited stations KYW and WCAU. Preridefzl . . .... -Iohn Schulz Vice-Prerideuz .. .... Louis Larkins Secretary .. .....

CHEF CLUB Piping hot and simmering with goodness are the de- lectable dishes concocted by the Chef Club. Proof of the culinary efficiency of these twenty-five boys was the series of meals prepared and served by them in person. Among these were refreshments served for the Home and School Association to approximately two hundred and fifty guests. Their annual spaghetti dinner for newspaper columnists and a repast for the Board of School Directors completed their accomplishments. The club meets every Monday evening in the foods laboratory, where instruction in the art of preparing and serving both simple and elaborate dishes is given by Mrs. Dallas, the sponsor.

That statement is entirely false, so at least these thirteen men of this club contend. And we are quite willing to accept their assertion, for they have offered in evidence many savory dishes that would delight even the most delicate palate. Cooking is an art, they agree, and anyone, even an awkward male, can master it. So every Monday eve- ning the boys gather in the foods laboratory, and soon are busy rolling out pie crust, getting flour into their hair, and having a perfectly enjoyable time, especially when the oven doors are opened, revealing delicious goodies. The boys, however, attribute their proficiency to their instructor, Miss Holmes. President .... . . .William Bradley Vice-President .......

This year instruc- tion was given in bandaging, anatomy, the nature of disease, medical terminology, and the use of medical instruments. But foremost in importance was the prac- tical application of these aspects of training. To receive further instruction in hospitalization the girls visited the Philadelphia General Hospital, the Mt. Sinai Hospital, and the Hahnemann Hospital. On the less serious side, the group entertained the nursing club of Upper Darby High School and, in turn, was invited to attend a tea at their school. In March the club was entertained by the Haverford nursing club. Secretary . . . . . .Myrtle Ohme Fourth Row: Riley, Byrne, Harnest, Lowry, Lehn. Third Row: Betterman, Oster, Nicotera, jordan, Dukes.

Who has not heard of the Bloomsburg Club, whose energetic members, under the capable and watchful eye of Mrs. Hutchinson, prepare themselves for the annual commercial contests at Bloomsburg State Teachers Col- lege? In addition, these young ladies send out an- nouncements for the Big Brothers' Club, for the Home and School Association, and regularly mimeograph let- ters, and perform secretarial duties for the faculty.

VAIQIETV CLUB Variety is the spice of life, consequently, this club is the very essence of enjoyment, for many different interests are catered to, such as music, dramatics, dancing, instrumentation, and elocution. Miss Murray's purpose in establishing the club this year was, primarily, to discover talent for use in assem- bly programs and to offer students a means to improve their individual aptitudes. Programs were given at each meeting, and the best parts of each were chosen to be presented at a meeting of the Womens Club, as well as in assembly. Prefiderzt .... ....

Such an organization is the stage crew, composed of senior and junior class boys of the Practical Arts De- partment. Their purpose is a practical one, yet at the same time an artistic one, affording an opportunity for set design- ing, color study, and interior decorating. The stage crew's handiwork was in evidence at such productions as the junior and senior plays and at musical festivals. The boys construct and dismantle stage sets, paint, wire them, and devise lighting effects.

This it does by meeting semi-monthly with Mr. Mer- cer as adviser. These gatherings are arranged in alter- nate fashiong one meeting convenes at the schoolg then the following one, social in nature, is held at the home of one of the members.

Teams in the league were Upper Darby, Clifton Heights, Sharon Hill, Springfield, and Darby.

This group presented commendable programs at a meeting of the Home and School Association, at the Thanksgiving assembly, for the Big Brothers' entertain- ment, at Christmas time and Easter, in neighboring churches, and in various local high schools. Several of the members were also participants in the third Southeastern District Chorus at Phoenixville, Pennsyl- vania. Moreover, Robert Hagerty, leading baritone of the choir, and Richard Tully represented Collingdale in the All-State Chorus at Indiana, Pennsylvania. Preridefzt .... ....

TENTH GRADE GIIQLS' CHQIQAL Any organization which provides recreation and en- joyment for its members and is considered by them as a pleasure, not as an obligation, is indeed worthwhile and has an important contribution to make to school life. Such an organization is the Tenth Grade Girls' Choral. From the standpoint of similarity of purpose and training, this group provides the same opportunity for senior high school girls as does the boys' chorus for male voices. These girls started the year off with a song, so to speak, at the Thanksgiving assembly. Then followed the Yuletide pageant, the Easter service, and the joyous festivity of the Spring Concert.

Noting the absence of a chorus composed en- tirely of boys, Miss Rupprich began this vocal group, hoping that it would develop into a traditional organi- zation. Many boys signified their interest, and it was not long before officers were elected and Thursday morn- ing agreed upon as the day of rehearsal. During the year the boys sang in student assemblies, before the Home and School Association, and as a unit in the operetta. Although it is new, the club looks forward to another year complete with the joys that such an organization as this offers. Prerident ...... .... R ichard Tully Vice-Prerident . . . ....

They have as their objective membership in the A Cap- pella Choir, for which they are eligible when they enter their sophomore year. Truly that is a worthwhile incen- tive, to achieve a musical background which will be of immeasurable value in years to come. These jolly songsters produced a delightful program at Christmas. They have also enhanced many assembly programs. I To this enterprising group we extend our whole- hearted commendation. To work wtih comparatively little recognition in order'to achieve an aim is, indeed, proof of the quality of this organization. Prericlefzt .... . . .Evelyn Moeller Vive-President . . . .......

INSTIQUMENTAL MUSIC oucwrsma This year has brought distinction to our orchestra and to Mr. Barkley, its director, for three of its members were received into the personnel of state or district orchestras. Miriam London and Cyrus Derman played in both the All-State Orchestra at Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and in the Southeastern District Orchestra, at Haverford. In reflecting upon the year's achievements, the or- chestra has to its credit a season of difficult and varied music well executed, a cavalcade of excellent programs in assemblies, and special instrumentation at dramatic events and music festivals, as well as at Commencement.

In short, these bonnie lassies lack nothing but bagpipes, for which they have substituted drums, in order to have the air of true Scots. What color and pageantry have they not supplied to the football games! They have played no small part in aiding the team to cross the goal line of another suc- cessful year. Through the efforts of Mr. Barkley, their director, the Scotties have made for themselves a unique and colorful place among the musical organizations. y Preridefzt ...,, ....

The fifty-piece Collingdale High School band has this year maintained a commendable standard of musician- ship. This attainment was evidenced by the fact that eight students were accepted as members of the South- eastern District Band, to which our school was host on March 25. These students were Paul Dawson, Robert Kooperman, Richard Waters, Frank Crummer, Daniel Weaver, William Metz, jack Miller, and Constance Hershey. jack Miller played also in the All-State Band, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. BAND The band, conducted by its maestro, Mr. Barkley, has given a number of outside performances, in addition to its regular service at football games. Concerts at the Olivet Presbyterian Church in Prospect Park, Darby, Lansdowne, and Haverford Township Senior High Schools, and an exceptionally line radio program were a part of the band's engagements.

' ' November fourth and fifth were notable dates, for on these occasions our play, China Boy, was presented. What a sparkling comedy of modern youth it was! After the first scene, the members of the older genera- tion in the audience relaxed with the assurance that they were not the only parents lost in hopeless bewilder- ment. What was to be done about their children? That was the question, and Mrs. Parker, played by Mary Rodgers, and Will, her husband, Robert Hagerty, did not know the answer. They had read every book on the sub- ject, but still they just could not understand the younger generation. Selma, their sixteen-year-old daughter, 62 played by Louise Oster, was one problem, Bill, their son, Herbert Drueding, was another. Then, to make matters worse, an unexpected guest arrived from China-Mark Willis. Mark, Clifford Crowers, was a missionary's song and when a mission- ary's almost perfect son decided to succumb to high school pranks one may imagine what the result would be. However, all turned out well in the end, and all of the Parkers' problems were solved. To Miss Millen the class is indebted for her capable direction. To all others who worked behind the scenes an expression of appreciation is likewise tendered. Mrf. Parker. Will Parker. Arzrzie . Bill Parker. Selma Parker. .

So masterful and colorful was this operetta, so intriguing that all Vienna laughed, all Vienna sang not only on the stage but in the hearts of all who were with us those nights ln Old Viennaf' Q35 9-CTS The success which this production enjoyed was due in large part to the capable mt direction of Miss Rupprich, supervisor of music. x M ra5ox'Y0Rw r THE DLAVEIQS SA5 PAL Ham' Maier ....

This year the juniors decided to produce a play that was different, a mystery farce entitled The Call of the Banshee. The play itself was the type that provoked one to laughter g yet, at the same time, caused chills to play havoc with one's spine. The plot was concerned with the story of Peter Adair's death and the attendant cir- cumstances. Peter Adair, enacted by Frank McHale, was a wealthy old man, having but two interests in life -his adopted niece, Hazel Orpen, played by Grace Ackroydg and the disposition of his estate according to his final will. Dr. Merkowitz, George Bird, was Peter's lifelong friend and personal physician. Not satisfied with the circumstances surrounding the old gen- tleman's death, the doctor started an investigation, which, after many amusing and thrilling events, brought to view the murderer of both Peter Adair and his cousin, Dr. Neville Lacey, who was Richard Tully. The class of '40 attributes the success of this per- formance to the efforts of Mr. Haering, the director, and to Miss Hentz, who so ably assisted. 66 Peter Adair. . . . Hazel Orpen. .

Th tball season opened with St. Roberts. e air was cool and crisp, and even the skies seemed to sm'l d 1 e own as if they knew that this was our day--our season. It was a joyous Colling- d l ' ' a e team that celebrated its 32-0 victory that evening. Two more victories followed-Bristol and Eddystone -then a defeat, but the team struck back and took R'd- 1 ley Township over to the tune of 12-0. Riding on the heels of thi this time by Media. It was a determined team that took the field for the next encounters and drove to defeat Yeadon, Prospect Park, and Glen-Nor, thus avenging the Indians' victory of the previous season. s victory was another defeat, In the traditional Thanksgiving Day battle, we relin- ctory to Darby after a hard struggle. However, Coach Merce quished the spoils of the vi r and his boys made an enviable record this season in win ' ning seven out of ten games. It is also significant that Collingdale was not scored u on ' p , except in the three games in which they suffered defeat. 70 Letters were awarded to: Captain john Ellis, joseph Quirk, joseph DeVito, Robert Reichenbach, Alfred Car- 1. in, john DuPont, Warren Roach Charles L tle Th , y , omas Charles, Harry Paxson, Norman Ritchie, William Hershey, Stanley Hershey, Paul Hart, john Thompson, Alfred MacFarland, Robert Palmer, Donald Dougan, john Vickery, Richard Tully, Antho ny Feathers, George Bird, Nelson Drueding, and Manag er james Elliott.

Thus opened the '38 hockey season. The first opponent on the schedule was Yeadon, who, after a close game, emerged the victor. But the Orange and Blue lassies did not allow this defeat to mar their hopes. Scoring their initial victory of the season by defeating Ridley Township, after being set back by Sharon Hill and Glen-Nor, the Colleens went on to defeat their traditional rival, Darby, in a fast game. A tie was then played with Media, and three consecutive losses brought the season to an abrupt end. The annual alumnae game was canceled because of inclement weather conditions. Although Coach Hurlbrink's team was unable to es- tablish an enviable record, the players greatly added to the sport by their earnestness and fair play. The hockey C was awarded to: Captain Constance Hershey, Martha Bitterlin, Dorothea Leland, Roberta Shallcross, Vivian Costello, Mildred Lowry, Margaret Datte, Margaret Tillery, Sarita McHugh, Captain-Elect Ella Wilson, Helen Wright, Eleanor Roche, Ethel Dick- son, and Edna Vickery.

Pint Row: Paxton, Roach, Collins, F. Hagan, S. Hershey. Coach Messikomer's varsity basketball team turned in another highly successful record. The games won this season outnumbered those of several previous ones. Al- though handicapped again this year by a lack of height, the team overcame this by playing ability and lightning speed. Led by the team's two most consistent scorers, Cap- tain Gurvin Collins and Frank Hagan, victories were scored over Yeadon, Swarthmore, Media, Prospect Park, Ridley Park, and the alumni. The most exciting and nerve racking portion of the season came in the latter half when the Coils played three consecutive overtime games. Out of these three two were won: the first was a 28-to-26 defeat of Ridley Parkg the second was the 26-to-24 victory over Prospect Park, in which game Warren Roach played a major part by swishing a long shot in the extra period. The third game ended in a 32-to-30 loss to Glen-Nor. The team entered the annual Kiwanis Tournament in Chester, and surprised the spectators by holding a highly touted Chester team to a 22-16 score. BOYS' BASKETBALL The lettermen were: Captain Gurvin Collins, Frank Hagan, Warren Roach, Alfred Carlin, William Hershey, John Hagan, Stanley Hershey, Harry Paxson, William Stoebe, and Manager Barford Stuart.

To give credit where credit is due, we must commend Coach Hurlbrink who built this team about a sextet of which not one was a letter player. These scores are a splendid example of what can be accomplished through teamwork, for while the guards were holding the opponents to a few goals, the high scoring forwards were literally running their opponents ragged, rolling up commanding leads. Following the precedent established this year, of hav- ing game captains rather than a season captain, because there had been no letter player eligible for the position, the Colleens did not elect a captain for the next season from junior letter players.

This sound heralded the approach of the 1939 baseball season. This year our new coach, Mr. Drulis, had an unusually large number of lettermen remaining from the fine team of the previous year. With these seasoned veterans and a large number of hopeful aspirants, he set out to mold a baseball team that would live up to the standards prescribed by previous teams. This year the bulk of the pitching duties fell to Joe Quirk, a senior , and several lower classmen, who showed promise and ability. Other seniors were Lefty', Quaile at first base, Frank Hagan at shortstop, Warren Roach handling the work behind the plate, and Bob Cole, utility outfielder. 74 l As in previous years, juniors and sophomores held more positions than the seniors, as they dominated the outfield and g in e d berths. In the outfield, Bill Hershey and Jack secured the two remainin ' fi l Thompson, juniors, played their second year of varsity baseball, while john Vickery, a sophomore, played his first. Charles Smith, another junior, displayed talent at third base, and john Scharr, a letterman of the previous season, played second. The . - p ns Frank Hagan and G 7. . urun Collins, Warren Roach, William Quaile, joseph lettermen were' Co Ca tai Quirk, john Scharr, john Saxton, jack Thompson, Wil- liam Hershey, john Vickery, Henry Young, Samuel Lap- pen, Manager. Despite the difiiculty of having a track team without a track, the 1939 track and field season was a success. Coach Mercer again built up a strong team of which any school might be justly proud. The relay team, consisting of Captain joe Quirk, Alfred MacFarland, Charles Evans, and John DuPont, brought home its share of awards from the several medal meets attended. In the field events, coached by Mr. Lentz, john Ellis did excellent work in both the shot-put and the discus. With Al MacFarland tossing the javelin and Harry Paxson soaring to new heights in the pole vault, the field squad also did their part to win recognition. Collingdale competed in several dual and triangular meets about the county. In these, although victory was not always ours, there were some very line performances. In the sprint and broad-jump, joe Quirk did very well, while John DuPont and Charlie Evans took care of the middle distances, namely, the quarter mile and the half mile. Herbert Anderson strove to uphold, in the mile run, the tradition of the famed Collingdale milers. Letters were awarded to: Captain joseph Quirk, john DuPont, Alfred MacFarland, john Ellis, Herbert Ander- son, Charles Evans, Alfred Carlin, George Bird, Robert Palmer, Willard Ritter, Manager.
