Why, it seems only yesterday that I was a proud Senior. Well, maybe a trifle longer than only yesterday-1927 to be exact. I wonder how many things I would find changed if I returned to my alma mater! Of course, as an interested alumnus I have seen physical changes in the buildingsp however I'm curious about how the Colling- dale of l927 compares with the Collingdale ot 1941. I'I'm . . . I wonder. Yes, I think that's just what I'lI do-I'll call upon the students of Collingdale High School to see how much the school has changed. . 1 fl,..f..a MQW...-.. an-.. . -. -.

Some time, each member of the class will look back over his school life and try to determine who has contributed the most toward his success. The class as a group, however, feels that there is one per- son wlio has not only given his valuable time and assistance, but has also proved himself an outstanding friend and coun- selor. This person is Mr. Drulis, to whom the seniors wish to dedicate the 1941 Colsenian. The class hopes that this dedica- tion will convey in a small measure its feeling ot gratitude. 3 Perhaps a little hesitatingly l direct my steps up the long walk that leads to the high school building. Students look at me with mild interest, and l feel conspicuous and out of place. A short time ago I felt young and ready to face any of these youngsters, but now 1927 seems to be very far away, and I realize now that I am being looked upon as one of those who have passed into that group which can no longer be considered youthful.

There is very little the class can say that will show how much it appreciates their cooperation and guidance. Without their su- pervision very little could have been accom- plished. The Class of 1941 takes this last op- portunity as a group to express their sincerest thanks. MISS NOMA RUPPRICH MR.

Nothing, however, has seemed to be too much trouble or take too much time for our red- headed president, Ioe Bird. He has been ably assisted by Ioe I-Iuddy vice - president. Then, too, for the past two years, all records and correspondence of the class have been under the careful supervision of Nancy Wright. Last, but not least, Bill Craig has been a truly effi- cient treasurer. LENNA MAE ADAMS COMMERCIAL Who's that rooting at those ames? Whos that pounding on rose keys? Who's that singing Collingdaleu?

Why in my graduating class, which was incidentally the Class of '27, there were only twenty-one mem- bers, while at the present time there are one hundred cmd thirteen dignified students wait- ing to receive their diplomas in Iune. Almost incredibly C. I-I. S. has expanded from its original one building to its present three buildings. Formerly it consisted of only twelve regular classrooms, a typing room, a gymnasium, and a laboratory. At the present time the school plant has forty classrooms, three gyrnnasiums, two laboratories, and a library, all of which are modernly equipped. The students tell me that they are very proud here at Collingdale High of their newest addi- tion, which was built in the summer of 1936. This building, which connects the Iunior and Senior High Schools, houses a cafeteria, om au- ditorium, administrative offices, and a library. I see that this auditorium is quite a contrast to the older one. Cne does not soon forget the two shifts of assembly or games played in the Iunior High School gymnasium with its crowd- ed balcony and ragged old net which was hung across the stage during the course of a basketball game in order to protect the specta- tors from being hit by a stray ball. It was quite a joke in those days to see an elderly gentleman lose not only his dignity but also his spectacles. However, this is no longer the case, for the present auditorium, which is in reality gymnasium and auditorium combined, has a seating capacity of about 1,000 people. Here, Commencement exercises, which formerly had to be held in the Parker or Villa Theaters, in addition to basketball games and dramatic programs are held. On the floor above the auditorium is located a spacious library-what a surprise I received when I entered this room. To me it was a dream come true with its sev- eral thousand good books, many current mag- azines, and newspapers. When I was a student, it was a universal desire for Collingdale High to have its own library. This one with its fine books and helpful librarian completely fulfills the dreams of former students. As I look about me l find that the faculty along with the student body has greatly in- creased. During my high school days there were only seventeen teachers. Now I am told that there are thirty-one Well trained teachers, a principal, and a superintendent. Formerly a teacher did not teach just one or two subjects, therefore it was quite common for some instruc- tors to teach four or five different courses. It is quite evident that along with this increase in faculty and student body has come the mod- em concept of education: socialized discussions, diversified courses, and development of indi- vidual talents. We could receive training in either one of three courses-Scientific, Aca- demic, or Commercial, whereas at the present time a student may be trained in either the Scientific, Academic, Commercial, General or Industrial Arts Curriculums. All of these changes surely make me realize that each year Collingdale is giving its students more opportunity to prepare themselves for worthwhile citizens. The old order changeth yielding place to new, and Collingdale keeps moving toward the future. CGME TCD ORDER The room is filled with a confusion of many voices and the ring of carefree laughter. Finally the sound of a gavel is heard. All be- comes quiet as the eighth meeting of the Senior Class begins. The meeting will please come to order. The secretary will read the minutes. The sound of Ioe Bird's voice resounds through the auditorium. . . . - . . . Before the meeting began, Mr. Drulis and Miss Rupprich, who have served in the ca- pacity of sponsors for three years, told me something about the history of the class. This is what they said as nearly as I can remember- The class was first organized in 1938. William Stoebe, better known as Beanie, was elected president The main event of that year was the Cruise Dance -Different!-of course. The junior year saw Beanie reelected as president. A break in tradition played an im- portant part in the first big event of the juniors. Instead of having the usual three-act play, the class decided to have three one-act plays. People were beginning to wonder what they would do next. The year rounded out in routine manner: class rings in the winter, Baby Day in the spring, and the Junior Prom at the end of the year. Baby Day was their last chance to catch up on childhood adventures, and they certainly made the most of it. Then came the long awaited prom. It certainly must have been fun planning this last event for the seniors. The juniors were well paid for all their trouble, too-the evening was perfect: silver stars above, soft breezes wafting the music of the orchestra to swaying dancers, the thrill of wearing evening clothes, and the guilty knowledge that it was long past the stroke of twelve before the final good-nights were said. But while l've been reminiscing about past events, the seniors have been busy making plans for the future. Nancy Wright, the class secretary, has fin- ished reading the class minutes and Bill Craig, treasurer, has just given his report. ls there any old business? asks Ioe. lf not, we will go on to some problems that have arisen. The class decided at the last meeting that it wished to have Roger Kent's orchestra for the Senior Ballg however, we've found that it is impossible for Roger Kent to be here on the twenty-first of March, but he will be available on the twenty-eighth. e Q Q 0 . . . A Senior Ball?-I have never heard of Col- lingdale High School's having a formal dance in their own auditorium. l ask the student next to me to tell me more about it. He says that the seniors have decided to have some sort of get-to-gether that will be strictly for the seniors and their friends. At first, they weren't sure what type of affair they wanted, but it didn't take them long to decide upon a formal dance. lt looks as if the seniors were breaking tra- dition again. The Senior Ball isn't the first event of the year, though. During the football season they gave Victory Dances - Victory Dances to a team that deserved them. The seniors showed ingenuity when they bought their own recordings instead of renting them 'each week? On Friday and Saturday, November first and second, the seniors presented the play Youth Takes Over, a modern comedy about high school life. The play was under the direction of Miss Millen, who also directed their junior plays. The seniors were well rewarded for their efforts when they realized how unani- mously their play was accepted. The seniors still have a lot to look forward to. There is the Washington Trip. How excited they will be thenl The whole school will be out to send them off, the band will be playing, the people will be laughing and jostling about. The Capitol, the White I-Iouse, Washington's Monument-they will see them all and more. Then-the Prom. The year before the class were hosts to the seniors, this year they will be the guests of the juniors. After the Prom?-Class Night, Baccalaureate, Commencement-commencement, what a sig- nificant word it is. I wonder what these seniors will do after commencement? Their faces are so young and eager, their minds seem so quick and responsive to class problems. They are in the midst of a heated discussion, right now. I walk over to a thoughtful-looking young girl, who is standing at the back of the room. She is listening intently to the discussion, al- though she does not take an active part in it herself. I introduce myself to her, then ask her the question that has been racing around in my mind. Do you think that you and these other young students are prepared to face life? I don't think that I have ever been more im- pressed in my life than at the reply she makes. Yes, I really believe that we are. I know that a lot of people think that we are too young COME TO ORDER and irresponsible to be capable of doing any- thing other than acting silly. Of course, we want to have some funl What boy or girl doesn't, but that doesn't make us incapable of doing our part, does it? We only want a fair chance-a chance to show the world that we have something to contribute. Not much, perhaps, when you think of us as individuals, but when taken all to- gether, we present a bulwark of strength to American Democracy. Does that answer your question, sir? Yes, yes, it does, I reply absently, and I think to myself- The young people of today are a fine group. How can anyone think differently. Oh, maybe they do seem a little wild to us older folks, but then didn't we seem wild to our parents, when we were young? Yes, the young people of today are a fine group: My thoughts have taken me far from the room, but I am quickly back by the sudden din of noise. When I look up, I see that the meeting is over, and the students are separat- ing to go home. After speaking to Mr. Drulis for a few min- utes, I leave the auditorium, thinking as I do- if I ever have had any hint of fear that our democratic way of living will not endure, I have none now. The seniors of 1941 here in Collingdale in their own class meeting have been putting into practice the things which we cherish as Ameri- cans: freedom of speech and action. With school experiences like this class meeting which I have witnessed-we can always be as- sured that our democracy will live. lOl-IN WILLIAMS President PHILLIP DEVON Vice Presidenl 11-A Third Row-Craig, I Mahoney, Guerrero, Floyd, Matlhiessen, Lawhead, O'Connell, Devon.

I chose john Williams as the person most capable of telling me what I wanted to know. Iohn, or jack as he prefers to be called, has been class president since the class was or- ganized in its sophomore year. The outstanding event of that year was the class's Sophomore Hop. In addition to the dancing the entertainment committee had pro- vided a snappy floor show. There were also refreshments for those who cared to purchase them. This event worked off the class's energy during its sophomore year. However, as juniors the class decided that its members were in need of more class spirit, so when the Christmas Season came, a large Christmas party was held. This party was one which everyone in the group will remember. Wilfred Palmore brought along his band and could they swing it? Yes, Boots and his Buddies made a hit that night. For additional entertainment a member of the community supplied both film and a motion picture ma- chine for 42's use. While the band was rest- ing, there were recordings for those who cared to dance. Delicious refreshments were served by a capable committee under the direction of Mrs. Zimmerman. The juniors were much in evidence during the football season, as they sold bright orange and blue feathers for Collingdale. I bought one at the Collingdale-Darby football game and I was proud to wear it. lack told me that this was the second year that the class had sold feathers. Incidentally, talking about that foot- ball game on Thanksgiving, the juniors were duly proud because on the first team were jack Rambo at left tackle and Frank McGowan at right tackle. ln February the class held a dance. It was just an ordinary Saturday Night Recording Dance. However, the class surprised even the seniors by making over fifty dollars. This money kept the class out of debt for awhile and paid for the class pictures in the year book. This Iunior Class may be called a pioneer in school tradition. The first innovation was a business enterprise. A store was rented in which to hold a rummage sale. The venture was managed by a very energetic committee headed by Ruth Hassel. Some of the students' mothers, who thought the class might benefit by their experience, gave some much needed help. The boys displayed a great amount of interest, and no one would have known what to do without them. There were many jobs for them to perform at. the sale, and they were willing workers. The second innovation was a drastic and daring departure from junior Class' tradition. THE JUNIORS MARCH ON For at least the past ten years junior Classes have included a play in their activities. Many students had looked forward to this event with great impatience, but current events influenced not only world but also class affairs. The de- velopment of selective service and voluntary enlistment had deprived the junior Class of Mr. Haering, who was to be the play's director. You can imagine the responsibility that lay on the class's shoulders and Iack's, too. If the juniors decided not to have a play, the com- munity might think that they were not capable or mature enough to sponsor one, but where were they to get a director if they did decide to have a play? Finally a vote was taken. When the ballots were counted, it was found that the class had decided to eliminate the play and have in its place two dances. The junior Class was well represented in the Minstrel Show which was somewhat of a novelty this year. Two of the end men and many members of the chorus were juniors. The class entered the Battle of Talent and pre- sented a skit. The scene was a barbershop, complete with barber, manicurist, and, of course, customers. The barber and three cus- tomers suddenly became a barbershop quar- tette and sang-Can you guess?- Sweet Ade- line. Then there arrived on the scene Cyrus Derman and with him was the object which is necessary in any picture of him-his violin. Cy played, and even the most restless person sat still and listened. With this combination of talent the skit received much applause and was awarded fourth place in the contest. Baby day marked the end of one period in the lives of the junior Class members and the beginning of a new one. On that day the juniors played to their hearts' content and got all the childishness out of their systems. The next day, however, they took on a new dignity, and even the lowly sophomores eyed them with respect. If there were any sadness at los- ing their former identity, no one showed it. The final activity of the class will be the junior Prom on Iune the sixth. This event is to be at the Brookline Country Club, and the juniors are planning an evening worth remem- bering. Formal dress will clothe the members of the Class of 1942 who a few weeks before played children. Through all of these experiences the juniors are becoming more mature and more capable of taking their places as seniors next year. As I close my interview, jack tells me that the greatest thrill is yet to come-on the day when the juniors will sit in the senior section in as- sembly for the first time. In my imagination I can see that the heads of these new seniors are slightly higher, and their chests slightly ex- panded. Though some of the class members might regret that their careers as juniors are almost ended, I don't think anyone of them would change places with any other class in the school, for time marches on, and with it the juniors.

The staying after school won't be a new experience for me, but this appears to be much more inviting than my former after-school sessions. The band, orchestra, and A Cappella Choir start the day 'With musicf Clubs, games, and play prac- tices stretch out to meet the evening activities-the Senior play, a minstrel, class parties, and dances. 3 , if 2 vw- vWV 'M2+ - ' .f:,y'm a 1 V, . , 0 Fw mi' vlsoo cr-lszo ZUUIRTER w2V55 3DUWN , 'W grzfw '5?2E!ffii ' - gm' 539 jema 'LL 'T 'am X-wf:.a?Qa ,ar Q U?-A L 'D L 1, an 'R ACTIVITIES TI-IEN AND NOW I've seen almost all of the academic features and the different classes of the school in my wanderings through the building. Now every- one seems anxious for me to see some of the outside activities. Perhaps the students feel that, being a graduate of 1927, 1 missed much of the excitement and fun that accompanies these affairs, however, don't let the date of my graduation mislead youl Of course, the variety of activities was limited because of the size of the class, but these activities could generally be divided into three classes-sports, dra- matics, and clubs, all of which were closely connected with school work. Gradually the variety was enlarged, and such organizations as the Metal Craft Club, the Library Club, the Cinema Club, and the Art Club were formed. Then, I believe, it was in 1934 that the Iunior and Senior Student Councils were founded, and in 1936 the A.A. Council had its beginning. Ever since there has been a Collingdale High School there have been athletic teams of which we have had just cause to be proud. Football, boys' basketball, girls' basketball, hockey, and baseball date back to the times when the teams rode to games in open trucks. Track, however, was not started until the spring of 1933. Music has always been one of Collingdale's chief interests. The first musical activities were the Girls' Glee Club and the Orchestra which, incidentally, was composed of seven members., A In 1930 came the realization of one of our most cherished ambitions-we were to have a band! Mr. Albert W. Ekenroth, leader of the Lans- downe Cadet Corps Band, was called upon to direct this new enterprise. The seniors in 1931 founded a Glee Club, which was superseded in 1936 by your A Cappella Choir. When you tell me of the Senior Play you had this year, don't look at me with such evident pityl We, too, presented outstanding plays and operettas. Why, I remember that play back in '27, The Romantic Age, and did you know that in 1931 the Senior Class gave as its an- nual production that popular play, Dulcy. And operettas-some of the best operettas ever given were staged right down in the Iunior High Gym. You see, we didn't miss much in the field of dramatics. Clubs were an early innovation in the school schedule. The Typing, Commercial, Science, French, Scribb1ers', and Reporters' Clubs were among the first, but these groups have con- tinued to organize until you tell me that there are fifteen clubs from which to choose. These are but a few of the activities in which we students of 1927 and you in 1941 have the opportunity to participate. Some people are inclined to think that outside activities are growing to a point where they overshadow the regular academic work, but those people must remember that school is life, and life is ac- tivity of all types. Students develop not only mentally, but also morally, physically, and spiritually. For this reason Collingdale offers you, her youth, a balanced program.

You might find it at the Lost and Found Department operated by the Student Coun- cil. This group has been very ac- tive this year. One of the most instructive assemblies was a panel discussion between stu- dents from Collingdale and Darby, and the Student Council Swing proved both profitable and enjoyable. The Council has Nancy Wright as its energetic presi- dent and Miss Childs and Mr. Hartzell as sponsors. Around The Table-Magness, Willimcm, Bird, Moore, Schaffer, McOuaide, 1.

I've seen them work, and I know that their precision and teamwork are only attained after hours of practice under the direction of Mrs. Hutchinson.

Ever since l927 Collingdale has been represented on the basketball court by hard playing and many times vic- torious teams. Se season, the boys had glimpses of the coveted tirst place, but finally finished fourth. The team lost two games to Radnor and Chester, split a pair with Darby and Lansdowne, and took both games from Media. ln the non-league contest the boys lost tour games, but emerged victors in games with Sharon Hill and Ridle T . . Y ownship, the champions ot Section Four. eason completed the Colls looked lor d lks, another season has taken its lac veral times during the beginning ol this The regular s , War to the Kiwanis tournament. The boys drew Glen-Nor for the third night ot competition, but tailed to gain a final victor y. Five seniors, including Co-Captains Stan Hershey and HB . ,, eanie Stoebe leave the squad this year but tive ' , experi- enced members, under the leadership ot Coach Messikomer, are ready to carry on tor Collingdale. Girls of my era, clad in voluminous black serge bloomers, white middy blouses, and long stockings played basketball, but not the fast game of these Coleens. The squad got off to a flying start by defeating Yeadon. Prospect Park and our neighbors across the tracks, Sharon Hill, each fell before the victorious Coleens. Ridley Township broke Collingdale's recordg however, this defeat spurred the team on to victory over Darby and a Well earned tie with Lansdowne. A traditional rival, Glen-Nor, who had only lost one game, came to Collingdale fully expecting to carry home a victory, but Collingdale's dependable lassies turned them back with a score of 31-23. Haverford, Media, and Chester each in their turn became victims of the fine teamwork of the Coleens, but Eddystone managed to chalk up a victory in the final game. This team, coached by Miss Hurlbrink and captained by Flash Moore, has presented a fine record for Collingdale's permanent book of scores. Back Row-Bird, Assistant Man- ager, A.

I haven't done any ot these things in the past few years, but seeing these boys run and exercise in the warm sun gives me the urge once again. Winter kept the boys indoors for a long time, but now Coach Mercer is getting the team into shape. It looks as if it will be well balanced with letterrnen returning for both weight and running events. Bob Palmer, Ioe Hinchliffe, and Bill Stoebe will stretch their legs on the track. Charles Motson, Nelson Drueding, and Iarnes McBride will try their skill at the weights. All of these boys with the help of others will handle the various field events such as the high jump, broad jump, and the pole vault. The first big obstacle for Coach Mercer and the team will be to get into shape for the annual Penn relays. Lansdowne, the first school meet, will find the team at its full strength. Who knows what records will be broken this year! Messick, Hougendobler, 2 1 BASEBALL The crack of hard balls on shiny bats, the thud of a hard-pitched ball.on the catchers glove, and the shouts of rival teams make me know that spring has ar- rived at last. As I bask in the sun on the grandstand, I find out lots of things from other idlers who, like myself, would rather watch baseball than play it. The competition for berths on the varsity team has been keen, for the graduating class of last year left many positions to be filled. As a result, the team is composed almost entirely of underclassmen. Captain Henry Young is only a junior and is playing his third year of varsity baseball. I have been wondering why all the sun baskers have been telling me about the players, the coaches, and the diamond, but they haven't mentioned the games. After all, those are the most important items in baseball, however, l find out that I have come too soon, for there haven't been any games. April showers, a muddy field, and spring vacation all forced the nine to con- tent themselves indoors, but soon the team will be ready to face Glen-Nor, Media, Lans- downe, and all the others. It's spring, time for baseball, and the boys are ready to play, Back How-Hare, Assista t an aaer, Hagan Manag r Haye T o ell, R 'l , ons ,r , ,B ns Hale, Mr, Drulis, Coa Front Row-Quaile, Bat rn Moran, Young, Schaub Drued fna R Hershey Tobia, Adams, From the numerous applications lor yearbook staff positions, resourceful, energetic, and def pendable Marion Adams and Albert Tobia were chosen as Editor-in-Chief and Assistant Editor.

MEETS THIRD WEDNESDAY F SIGNIFICANT FACT, too obvious to require much elaboration, is the growth of the Campus Publishing Company. From seven to seventy yearbooks in three years, to make us the largest exclusive year- book publishers in the east. One way to explain it is to say that Campus in not an engraver, a printer, or any other type of processor, but a service organization well acquainted with the ins and outs of yearbooksg co-ordinating all the phases of yearbook planning and processing. Not being a processor, we can cover the field more completely. There is no budget too small or too large in which we are not interested, nor any reproductive process that we cannot supply-letterpress printing, engraving, offset printing, or gravure. Using these processes to the best advantage, we now make available five different means to a good book. In letterpress printing, MASTER-PRINT and HENGRAV-PRINT. In offset printing, UMASTERTONEH and VELVETONE -and in gravure, REGENTVURE.
