This plan has been adopted to escape the monotony of manu- factured Write-uqs. The Board feels that the results have been satisfactory, not only because they are original but also because they give an otherwise un- attainable glimp e of the personality of each As some were too reticent in praising them elves, the Board has added Editorial notegwhere necessary. We hope that this innovation is successful. ,G I 5' ' iw , if A- -A- 4 We, the clots? of 1939, the largest in the history of the school, can not quite realize that we are reaQTto become alumni. Not one of us is eager to leave the familiar campus for our chosen colleges. Whatever we make of our lives, we will always be grateful to Haverford its Faculty for laying the foundation fdr our future. lt is with this sense of gratitude that we present to Haverford School this 1939 issue of the Haligoluk.

KNOWLTON Head of the English Department 1891 - 1933 Died luly 13, 1938 Although Mr. Knowlton retired before our class left the lunior School, we are well acquainted with the great reputa- tion he made during more than forty' years at Haverford. 6 IN MEMORY OF ROBERT C. BLAKE, IR. Member of this class of 1939 Died August 9, 1938 A classmate whose quiet determination and repeated achievement in the scholastic activities of the school are greatly missed by his classmates of 1939. I 7 CORNELIUS B. BOOCOCK Headmaster HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE COMPENSATION During the course ot the school year I meet many mothers and fathers of boys who have specific problems to face. Most of my interviews have to do with boys whose scholastic position is not what it should be, very often these boys are good athletes. I have had parents say to me: I wouldn't care if he didn't play another game of football or baseball so long as he got on the honor roll. Occasionally, however, a parent whose boy is a first- class student but no athlete will come to me and say: I don't care so much about his scholastic position, but I would like to have him win a school letter in some sport. Most of our pupils, fortunately, are a combination. They are reasonably good students and reasonably good athletes. Occasionally, however, we get a boy who is a top-notch student and a top-notch athlete, but even then the situation is not apt to be a perfect one, because there may be a person- ality peculiarity which steps in to mar the beautiful picture. Only occasionally do we find a boy who has no scholastic aptitude and no athletic ability, but it is usual, in such a case, to find a boy with a particularly attractive personality and friendly manner. In my nineteen years as a school master I have learned to expect com- pensation in all cases. I have learned not to expect perfection. The thing that I hope this school is doing is to sublimate undesirable characteristics in a boy and bring out his best traits and qualifications. 8 SENIOR SCHOOL FACULTY Fourth Row: Mr, lanes, Librarian, Mr. Hunt, Bible, Mr. Colson, Office, Mr Stokes, Srtririm- Mr. Covert, French, Mr, Allen, German.

Class '37 Student Council '38 Ring Committee Oaks House Committee '39 We Oaks boys, who are very much in the minority, have always felt that we are really the backbone of the school, but I am going to be the first to say so in writing. For three years I've lived in the Oaks, and those three years hold memories I'l1 never forget. Six of us, Brigg, Crebbs, Spackman, Ross, Voehringer, and I have been inseparable pals. We have been called the Ornery Six, but our friendships and those contacts made with other swell fellows will last a lifetime. I now live in Ridgway Kno cracks, pleasel. It was named for Graham Dripps' Uncle Iacob. It's really the garden spot of the world, but I have great difficulty in convincing the fel- lows of that fact. My athletic ability is almost nil, but I've made a stab at all sports, with crew and golf as favorites. I have aspirations to Amherst and the Bar, but secretly I harbor the desire to return to Philadelphia some day as Ham- let, Romeo, Ieeter Lester, or some other dramatic character. iii EDITORS NOTE: If you make the bar, keep your feet off the rail. 14 9-'f ERNEST ALDRICH BAILEY, IR. Io Io. E. A. Entered: 1935 MASSACHUSETTS INS'l'I'l'U'l'E OF TECHNOLOGY Honor Roll '35, '37 I entered Haverford School in 1935. I have spent four years here doing nothing, although I love Haverford. During these years the school's biggest worry was: Weitere is Bailey? Strange as it may seem, my favorite subject is Mathematicsg at the bottom are History and English. I have never been a member of any club or on any committees. I have never made a team. I am, however, sorry that I have to leave in Iune, and I would give-lnnything to be able to spend another four delightful years at Haverford. iii' EDITOR'S NOTE: Ernie has the finest sense of humor to be found in this year's graduating class and is known as the originator of many famous and oft-quoted remarks. There should be a place for him as a columnist on a college wit-magazine. A :ae P 1--.V it W t XqmHi, n 15 I9 so ull! I9 it 39 iii!- GORDON BARRETT BLATZ Baltz.

'39 Latin Club '39 Current Events Club '39 Honor Roll '36, '37 Game Committee '39 My birthdays started back in 1921 on May 25 in Philadel- phia. At the age of seven I entered school at Waldron Acad- emy in Merion. After finishing seventh grade there, I was sent to Haverford to complete my high school education. Mean- while, the family moved from Overbrook to Haverford. During these years I have had a swell time in the school and have had great fun in playing soccer, tennis and squash. I have become interested in flying, and I hope to learn to fly in the near future. As to my college career, I will enter either Cornell or Prince- ton, probably Cornell, to take up engineering. Later I may branch off into some course which seems better for me. I want to wish all the rest of the class the best of success and luck. i 1' tl' EDlTOR'S NOTE: Gordie is one of the most generous fellows we've ever met. His car, his money, and even his shirt can be had for the asking. 16 IAMES K. BOAK lim Entered: 1937 DARTMOUTH Baseball '38, '39 Squash '39 Golf '39 Current Events Club '38 Polemics '39 Honor Roll '38, '39 I was born in Philadelphia, but at the tender age of six months I began to have a longing for adventure, and I started out to see the world. During my travels I have attended fif- teen schools. Finally, coming back to the city where I started, I entered Haverford fthe sixteenthl in 1936 and have been try- ing to keep an Honor Pin ever since. That elusive 80 is a hard thing to catch, it can be so near and yet so far. I have not decided definitely what I am going to do after I graduate tif I dol. I would like to go to the Naval Academy, but if that doesn't work out, I will probably be in some college studying architecture or engineering. People have told me that I would make a good lawyer because of my ability at talking my Way out of demerits and into better marks, but I don't agree with them. If you ever come to Hanover, you might look me up, but my future is so uncertain that I will say no more than Good-by and good luck. iii EDITORS NOTE: If you ever damage a vocal chord, go borrow one from Iim.

This was due to the fact that l am an Englishman and had been brought up on the sterner methods of the English boarding school. I belong to the select group of Oaks boys. My real home is in Pine Valley, New Iersey. These years in the Oaks have been spent in thinking out, together with the other members of the Secret Six, various Ways of assisting Mr. Covert. When I first went out lor football, I was teased foricalling football shoes football boots. Such phrases rise from my throat from sheer patriot- ism. If and when l graduateyl hope to complete my education at North Carolina, ' iii EDITORS NOTE: Although Pete is the white hope from England land we're not sure what that meansl, we do know that Doc Newhall spends too much time trying to keep him awake in Latin class. 18 ,M ,Y I WILLIAM I. BROOKS Bill Entered: 1938 MICHIGAN OR PENN STATE Football '39 Camera Club '39 Orchestra '39 My birth took place in Philadelphia, February 22, 1920. At the age of three I moved to Ridley Park. After twelve years of labor, I graduated from the public school there. The Haver- ford School was my choice for a year of college preparatory work before entering a higher institution of learning. My hobbies are photography and music., I ,am a member of the Camera Club. My bassfiddle affords me much enjoy- ment and a fair income. My foremost subject, both from the standpoint of marks and enjoyment, is trigonometry. English heads the list of dislikes. Chemical Engineering is my choice for a vocation. I am undecided, as yet, where I will go to college. So long. 19 S 2 I 9 39 1-HBH' IOHN HOLLAND BROWNBACK Brownie Entered: 1931 PENNSYLVANIA Swimming H '37, '38, '39 Football '39 Current Events Club '39 In l93l I entered the Haverford School. I passed through the Fifth and Sixth grades of the Iunior School rather unevent- fully. I made the Honor Roll once or twice in the First and Second Forms, but that all dropped behind when I graduated into the Third Form. There I began a titanic struggle with Latin under Mr. Dutot. Finally I emerged from this, and for the first time in my career, I made the swimming team. That was in 1936. I am still at swimming and like it as much as ever. In my Senior year I made the Honor Roll in the first month, much to Mr. Boocock's surprise. I played on the sec- ond football team and retained my place in swimming. The only thing I have to say about the School is that it has been a great education in more ways than one. ti-'Af EDITORS NOTE: We wonder about Iohn's last remark as he insists that his proper nickname is Darling. 20 IOHN HERMAN BURDICK Iim.

'39 Student Council '38, '39 Athletic Association '39 Dance Committee '39 Cheer Leader '38, '39 I have been around Haverford for eleven long years. I imagine that by this time the masters are getting tired of seeing that same old face. Well, I'm leaving now after stumbling up through the grades and forms. Once I slipped and next year found myself in the same form but with different class- mates. For the last two years I played on the Soccer, Basketball, and Track teams. This year, for some reason, I had the honor of captaining the Soccer and Basketball teams. In my estimation the best organization to which I belong is the Student Council, with all due respect to the Athletic Asso- ciation, Dance Committee, and the Current Events Club. Also for the past three years I have held down various jobs in the school: day laborer, playground master, and now, the short change artist of the bookstore , just ask the customers. My future is very indefinite, but whatever I do, I won't forget Haverford and the good times I have had here. I will come back as often as I can. iii EDITORS NOTE: Iimmy, who has been in the Upper School longer than any other of us, is our candidate for the title of Haverford's most loyal son. 21 ' u l Y HD' 39 f4lx'I19 'l ': I9 lm 39 ROBERT D.

'37, '38, '39 Glee Club '39 Honor Roll 1926-1939 Cum Laude Dance Committee '38, '39 Game Committee '39 I was born in Ardmore in the spring of 1921. As we moved four years later to a less crowded neighborhood, my earliest and only memory of my birthplace is that of a certain Christ- mas Eve, when. trying to get a glimpse of Santa Claus, I crawled out of the crib and managed to reach the head of the stairs. I succeeded in intercepting Santa Claus, who tripped and fell all the way down the steps amid heaps of bundles and packages. Years later I found out that it was my father. Since then I have lived in several localities, the last oi which is Paoli, that giant metropolis about twelve miles from school. I have been coming to Haverford since I was six years old, and as far as I can see there's no better school. During the past two years it has been my daily effort to better a record of fifteen minutes driving-time from Paoli to Haverford School. Next year I hope to go to Cornell to study chemical engineer- ing. If any of you get up Ithaca-way drop in and see me.

For an evening of entertain- ment, get Bob to play the piano. 22 IOHN KIRK CHANDLER, IR. Happy lack Entered: 1938 Football '39 Basketball '39 Golf '39 After wasting away twelve years of my life in Public Schools, I came to Haverford. I found that the work in Haverford was much more difficult than that of the high schools and that Haverford had advanced scholastically a great deal more than the Public Schools. In the fall I Went out for Football and wasn't very successful. During the Winter months, I tried basketballg in the spring l played golf and baseball. Although I wasn't varsity material in any of the sports, I enjoyed playing with the boys or, I might say, Watching the boys play. I have finally come to the conclusion that I'm not the athletic type and certainly not the scholastic type. I am just one of those typical problem children who has to be analyzed to see on what lines he thinks tif he doesl, and what path he should take after he leaves school and enters this vast, unfriendly world. This year at Haverford has helped me greatly in my educa- tional career. WH 56 cci.1 ' 1' Ii I D iy lnnfgj .

Walter Chase was born. Greater was the calamity when in l932, Mr. Chase sent his darling son to Haverford. Since then, I have progressed very slowly but surely, until, with the good grace ot innumerable tutors, I have reached my senior year. My main outside attractions are my car and my collection of swing records. I look back with a deep-felt hor- ror upon the yellow-sheet and Saturday morning demerit ses- sion. All kidding aside, I have had one grand time at Haver- ford and will never forget what it has done for me. Next Fall, I plan to enter Cornell where I expect to continue my edu- cation.

I am glad that I was able to take advantage of the grand athletic curriculum and above all that I was able to take part in the first crew to represent Haverford in any waters. I also had the privilege of following one of the finest soccer teams Haverford has ever had. I would like to give one little word of advice to the rising Sixth Form.

I am fond of athletics, and it certainly was a great experi- ence to play football and basketball with Bill Nicholson and lim Burdick, the respective captains. One experience which I can't figure out is the fact that I made the Student Council for the second term. I was much pleased. Next year I expect to attend the University of Pennsylvania where I will probably major in Engineering.

I have never been on the Honor Roll and never will be. Besides this and the fact that the prices ot the school dances are too high, the only trouble with the school is the Alumni Speakers group. Some of the talks are very good, but they are not worth it when we have to be tortured by the others. English and History areilmy favorite classes, physics is the worst. My hobbies are breeding Racing Homer Pigeons and collecting British Empire stamps, but my school work has prevented me from spending much time on either ot these hobbies this year. I plan to go either to the University of North Carolina or to Iohns Hopkins to study medicine. i i Q EDITORS NOTE: Although Worthy claims that the prices of the school dances are too high, he drives around the ritziest car that we've ever seen. 27 11-159' I Ti 'II' I9 39 li .13 Jig SGH- Y BEN HERBERT CREBBS Crabby-bottom Entered: 1933 CORNELL Swimming H '38, '39 Football, 135-lb., '38, '39 Glee Club '38 1933 was the fateful year I left my tropical home in Mara- caibo, Venezuela, to enter the Oaks of Haverford School.

Haverford changed all that, and now I have discovered that work is a necessary evil. As I have chosen Worcester Tech. as my future alma mater, I am glad that Haverford has shown me the way to work. A few outside interests take up most of my spare time. Be- sides photography I have keen interest in radio, model-rail- roading, and the ancient sport of Falconry.

Starting in the Fifth Grade, I was obliged to repeat a year, thereby establishing myself in the class of '39. Well do I remember my first day at Haverford and many others since then. I was sorry to move from the farm, but the school has just about made up the difference. Having struggled through Haverford for seven years, I hope to go on to Amherst, but after college I cannot say whether I'll breed horses or get a job as a groom. With graduation at hand, one can but recall the Spring Fever Club of the Sixth Grade, and then in the First Form the initiation on the tackling dummy, a practice now taboo, then in the Third Form the riot at Germantown, snowball fights, rash acts of former classmates,-these and a hundred other things come back to mind. The members of last year's grad- uating class all say they Wish they were back again.

Nine years later our family moved back to Haverford to join our near-relatives. I just missed being fired from my former school, and so it was prob- ably better anyway. What I most remember about the school was a piano which I broke and the long corridors tl was being perpetually precipitated into them by an irate teacherl. Maybe it was the Philadelphia climate, but whatever it was, I behaved slightly better, and my family decided a mental diagnosis could wait. Remarkably enough, I haven't had one yet, but maybe I'd better knock on wood. Ever since I could walk, I've wanted to be an actor, and, as far as I know, I still do, although writing holds some interest lor me.

After my father's death in 1926, we went abroad, where I first started school in Nice, France. I came home in 1927 and was going to enter Epis- copal. After finding out that I had to start school over again, I took a year of preparation and then entered Episcopal in the second grade. Then we moved to Haverford, and I came here to enter the third grade in 1929. Since then Haverford has suffered along with my family. Next year l hope the engineering college at Cornell will see me within its walls. For my part I believe that the best feature of Haverford is its fine swimming pool in which I have had many fine swims, I certainly will miss all the swell dips. The only afternoons on which I have missed session in the last four years were the ones on which I skipped. Getting demerits for just such cutting is my big hobby. Most boys have school only five days a week, but l have found that I often have a six-day week. I am glad that the sixth day lasts only until noon, or I would never have a week-end.

Although this was my first year here, I have en- joyed it all: from being in the plays to continuing my interest in fencing.

Leaving all that behind, I had two more years in the Upper School. Then I went off to Connecticut to struggle under Father Sill's Self-Help System at Kent for an equal period.

My tirst teacher was one Miss Lawton, who would be much more appreciated by her old first-grade boys now that they are grown up. All my school lite I have lived in the fair sub- urb ot Haverford, and in one house. It you form a triangle with Wayne, the Phillies' ball park, and 69th Street as the vertices, you will have enclosed virtually the entire extent of my wanderings.

To my great amazement, it was discovered that I was president of the latter and therefore exposed to all the horrors of making announcements in chapel. People also refer to me as the hitless lwonderl. My plans for the future are rather hazy, as if concealed behind a cloud of smoke. Princeton seems to be the place, but it's so cold up there.

My hobbies are hunting, fishing, and photography. The first two might not be really considered hobbies because I have had little time to devote to them in my school life. Around the Oaks a gun wouldn't be much use to me except for protection. I get this, however, by always having my camera along so that I can shoot the other board- ers. Besides being indefinite, candid pictures are my only hobby. I haven't made up my mind about college or a pro- fession as yet. There's plenty of time for that and for every- thing else, I always say.

From them I got the impres- sion that I was going to have to work extra hard. This was true for the first few months. As time went on, however, I got used to the work and have had little. trouble since. My athletic activities during my two-year stay at Haverford have been confined to two sports, football and track. In my first year I was a member of Mr. Shaw's 135-lb. football team. In my senior year I was on the football and track squads. At present I am not certain what college I shall enter. It will probably be Dartmouth or Amherst. Wherever I go, I shall be indebted to Haverford for the fine education that I received there. 1-if EDlTOR'S NOTE: If you want to buy a suit of clothes, ask Andy where to go.

I've been here ever since. I've sat in every classroom and broken a seat or desk in almost every one. One advantage of being a senior, I find, is that the desks I now sit in are either strong enough to hold me or already have been broken by somebody else. I think I hold a record for breaking desks. Another record I hold is my dramatic career. I have no doubt but that I have been in more Haverford School plays than anyone else in school. A third accomplishment I am proud of is the fact that I have never yet attended a Saturday demerit session, but it has taken two unexpected trips to Boston and one case of Poison Ivy to keep that slate clean. Five days of school in cz week are all I can survive. Of course you're not to infer that I dislike school. Oh nol I've only one grudge against the place. None of the boys ever had the originality to give me a nickname fa decent onel. I don't like Len and so have passed eleven years without a moniker. I hope that the boys at Harvard, Where l'm going next year, can make one lor me flmagine being called Leona-a-ahd for four yearsll. If I go into medicine, I won't need a nickname, but one might come in handy in politics, my other hope. These two have precedence over music, the stage, writing, and firefighting or carrying mail in my home town of Bryn Mawr, right near the Haverford School annex, Baldwin's.

My first three years of school life were spent in coeducational Haver- ford Friends School, but in 1929 I entered the Haverford School as one of Miss Simmon's Third Grade protege-s, and l've been here ever since. I have somehow maneuvered into Sixth Form with the ambition of graduating and going to Princeton. As one of its best patronizers, I and the yellow sheet are on the best of terms. I've been out for football, basketball, and spring sports ever since Third Grade days. Next to the Glee Club, I think the school dances and lunch period are the best factors around the place. P. S.-In spite of this sad paper, I still hope to pass the English final and to graduate. i' i i EDITORS NOTE: For the last four years Frank has driven the same girl around in the same car. We hope that in 1940 he will begin four years at Princeton. 52 CRAIG ADAIR MASTON .

Like all other l-Iaverfordians, I find my afternoons are taken up with all kinds of activities. Squash appeals to me more than any other winter sport. In the spring tennis holds my interest. I enjoyed singing in the Glee Club and serving on the Oaks House Committee.

Stew, Mac Entered: 1938 Tennis '39 Glee Club '39 Dramatic Club '39 Camera Club '39 I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Iune ll, 1920. As it was the period directly following the war, the family had very little, and we lived in West Philadelphia. After several years ot trudging up the ladder the family finally moved to Merion, where I was entered in the public school system of Lower Merion Township. From that time onward I have gone through twelve years of schooling and graduated. This year I came to Haverford School for the purpose of taking a post- graduate course. I find life very interesting here and of a different atmosphere from that I have had before. We now live in Rosemont, Where my environment consists of enjoying lite and being interested in popular music. My one ambition is to learn to play the piano in ragtirne style. After this year I am hoping to enter either Dartmouth, Amherst, or Cornell, and then later on become a wealthy, prosperous business man. Until then, so-long and Ilub-dub. I 1,'::nl,l mf? I9 I if W.

Not satisfied there, I decided to try dear old Haverford, which has been my home for the past tour years. In that time I have seen classes come and go, but I cannot think of a better one than this year's senior class. Ask anybody, That is, any senior. Outside of my studies, my main interests lie in sports such as soccer, gym, and track. Others are thrown in on the side, of course. I go in for a little bit of horn tooting, besides, like Harry Iames, and a snack of Gene Krupa. But seriously, as Mr. Barr would say, I have had a grand time and a wonderful opportunity of increasing my knowledge of school work, sports, etc. I know I will miss the old school and its atmosphere, and I will send you a line from Cornell for will it be Penn?i when I get there. My best wishes to those I leave behind me. til EDITORS NOTE: Ted is the school's best all-round athlete. Some of the girls maintain that he is the school's best dancer.

The next year I was put into Third Grade. Since leaving the Iunior School, I have found it hard to get on the Honor Roll. This year, however, I succeeded, although I haven't been on it steadily. While I do prefer making boats and steam engines in my shop to studying or writing such things as this, I am really very sorry to leave Haverford. This is partly because I like school, but mostly because I won't be able to build boats at college. Since l've always been interested in machinery and tools of all sorts, it is only natural that I expect to take up engineer- ing when I enter Cornell next tall. l i' Q' EDITORS NOTE: As this book goes to press, our future engineer is completing another boat-a freighter with a two-cylinder steam engine.

In North Carolina I grew up to think and act like a tar heel. I went to school and learned how wonderful the state wasg I learned how the South was abused by the North during the Civil War. However, I kept in touch with the rest of the United States by traveling. I finished high school and was looking for a good college to go to, when I met two boys from Haverford College in Florida. They persuaded me to go to the college. So I wrote the col- lege, which replied that I did not have enough credits to enter that year, but if I would go to Haverford School for a year and pass my College Boards all right, they would accept me. As a result of this, I found myself in Haverford School. Here I have become a regular Haverfordian and will remain so. iii EDITORS NOTE: Charlie is the only Oaks boy who appreciates the food at school. 'A,,n..l,. 'x g lmillcw 57 I 9 39 I9 39 IOHN C.

'Twas I. During the past eleven cmd a half years, I have traveled much in the business of acquiring my internal light. The process began in an old-fashioned red-brick school- house in Sugartown near the village of Malvern, There I learned reading, writing, and arithmetic,-or at least enough ol these to allow me to enter Montgomery Day School. Here I passed a long and idyllic period, resting sufficiently to endure a two-year period in boarding school. My last flight reached Haverford, where I have purred contentedly for the past two years. And I shall probably go somewhere from here, it might be interesting for the Alumni News to follow me. What do you say, Mr. Black? iii EDITORS NOTE: It was our good fortune to add to our ranks this gentleman farmer who, we feel, will raise more than just his hat.

My family gave me a quick glance, and then wrapped me up in a newspaper and put me on the top shelf ot a closet. There I spent tive very quiet but happy years, hoping that light would someday shine in upon my dark corner. Sure enough, in the tall of '25 my parents took me down and dusted me off. But five years had elapsed since they had seen me, and, mis- taking me for someone else, they sent me to a well-known girls' school of this vicinity. At the age of seven, 'midst cries of spy and peeping Tom, I was transferred to Haverford. Here I spent nine years, but in the Third Form I decided to go to boarding school and see the world. Well, I did the former but not the latter, so the next fall I returned to Haver- ford. My hobby is aviation, which I hope to make my profession. So long and plenty of luck. iii EDITORS NOTE: You must have been in the closet too long, because the daylight still hurts your eyes, Night Owl.

I have little recollection of what I did during the first four years of my life. My first hobby, stamp collecting, began in 1928. Since then I have become interested in many other hobbies. In 1928 I entered the Third Grade at Haverford. That first year was pretty hard, but the next year my average climbed from sixty to eighty. In the Upper School things came easy until Fourth Form. I think that this was the hardest year in the entire school. All during my stay at Haverford I played football, serving on all the pound teams from the eighty-pounders up. I can't remember on what teams I played in the other sports. In the Fourth Form, the year I started flunking English, I began to be interested in social activities and have attended all the Haverford dances since that year. This year I am really having a swell time. When I graduate, I hope to go to Princeton or Dartmouth. . v 51 I' 39 i f I 9 39 DAVID LEE PRINTER Bird's Nest Entered: 1933 YALE Football '35, '37, '38, '39 Tennis '37, '38, '39 Basketball '36, '37, '38, '39 Glee Club '38, '39 Honor Roll 1934-1939 Haligoluk Board Ring Committee On December l2, 1921, my father had the first opportunity to gaze upon his little genius, I guess my mother thought I was wonderful, too, when she first saw me. However, it didn't take them long to change their opinions. One of the many things little Davey did which didn't please Momie and Dad happened the day the new pool table came. I threw a tin can at one of my friends during one of my off-moments, and it cut a big hole in the cloth. I can still feel the heat which was applied. After being in public school for six years, I entered Haver- ford in 1933. During the following six glorious years, football, baseball, track, tennis, and basketball profited by my tireless efforts. I don't know how they profited, but I did. As I look forward to four years at Yale, where I will study I don't know what, I shall always remember the famous Haver- ford Bible Classes. 62 HORACE CURTIS PAIST .

The south side of the tracks in the quiet village of Wayne took its place. The Radnor Public School held my favor for ten and a half years, giving way to several trips to the warm waters of Florida. In '36 Haverford got a hold and refused to let go. The Oaks was substituted for the warm breezes during my parents' ab- sence. My favorite haunt is the tennis court which takes up a good deal of my time throughout the year, but goli is now beginning to become a rival. I have never had any aspira- tions that were lasting. Consequently, I do not know whether advertising, my present interest, will be final. Boats are the only things that have really interested me all my life. I have not yet decided upon a college.

The fine teaching that I have received at Haverford has now returned me to my proper Form. I am interested in soccer lin which I received a letterj, bas- ketball, and baseball. My hobbies are fishing and all other sports. I am not sure whether I want to be an architect or an engineer.

I have never regretted this change, and I am quite sure that the same goes for Epis- copal. That was eight years ago! It seems like eight and twenty. All this time, however, has not been spent at Haver- ford, I went to Exeter for two years, but was very glad to retum to my friends CPD at Haverford. When all is said and done. there is no place like Haverford with its jigger shop and Rich, swell athletic department, good teachers, restful classes, neat eggs tif you like eggsj, and the sweat shop it represents lor me during any and all vacations.

In my mind there is no college like Princeton for Haverford grgzduates, so by hook or crook I will be there in the class ol '4 . ' And in closing I want to say that if I had sometime been elected President of the Senior class, I would have abolished demerits, compulsory athletic checkups, session, homework, Latin, trigonometry, and eight-thirty French.

After my graduation from Norristown High School, it was decided that I should take another year of preparatory work before entering college, so here I am. Though this is my first year at Haverford, I can assure you that it has been the most enjoyable year I have spent in any school. My asso- ciations with the faculty and the student body have been most pleasant. My favorite sport and hobby is track, and my ambition is to win an H at this sport.

Two years ago I had aspirations of becoming a great chemist and getting a job with duPont. But after taking chemistry last year, 1 decided that the best thing for me is a general business course. There is only one thing wrong with getting into col- lege and that is the fact that the Honor Roll and I have not been close friends for the last three and cn half years.

After seven years at Lansdowne Friends' School, where my scholarly activities be- gan, l changed to Haverford and entered the Second Form. For three years I commuted between Lansdowne and Haver- ford every day. This kept me from entering extensive social activities. Last year, however, 1 moved to Haverford and since then have abandoned the solitary life. The Orchestra, the French Club, the Latin Club, the Polemics, the Glee Club, and Physics have kept me rather busy, so time has passed all too quickly.

Because I had previously known several of the boys who played soccer here, I decided to try that sport last fall. While going out for the team, l met a great many schoolmates, and through their acquaintance I was able to join in more of the school activities. I especially like the sports of tennis and squash. Naturally in the Winter months I played squash and some basketball. As spring rolled around, I found tennis a pleasant diversion from the preparation for exams and en- trance to Harvard, where I will take a course in some field of engineering.

'39 I entered Haverford in 1933, and spent the first year trying to understand the yellow sheet. After mastering this, I found out that there was a very complicated demerit system, and thus my second year was taken up. Although these last years have been spent in hard study, I have also spent many happy hours on the athletic fields and in the gym, arguing with Doc and Sam,-and usually losing my argument. I spend my sum- mers sailing around Barnegat Bay and wondering what Gra- ham Dripps sees in Coatesville.

The first recollection I have of Haverford School is the flunking of an examination. For the last eleven years I have duplicated this amazing feat more than once. Like many other less scholarly students at Haver- ford, I have spent my happiest hours in the gymnasium and on the surrounding athletic fields, seeking refuge from the icy glares of disapproving masters. There are only two things I have succeeded in memorizing here at Haverford: First, a short line is the straightest distance between two pointsg Second, Mr. Boocock's semi-annual speech in which he says that the masters don't sit up nights thinking up hard questions for the exams, etc. Despite the fact that it may be another decade before I ever obtain the coveted sheepskin, I know that I shall look back on my days in school as my happiest.

Sorry as I was to leave the lower school, I was sorrier still to come into contact with the account system with which I have been intimate ever since. As to sports, I have been interested in football since I joined the seventy-pound team. Now I get my greatest pleasure in tooling around in the gym and skiing in the winter time. I have had many hobbies, my main one now is photography, as a member of the Camera Club, I am really learning to enjoy this hobby.

When I graduate fFate and Mr. Boocock willingl, I expect to spend a few years at Duke, but I hope I will not be forced to stay there as long as I have stayed here. After Duke the hosiery World will be blessed with my presence, providing the Iapanese will be good boys. -tif EDITORS NOTE: The only time lack ever bestirs himself is when he is playing golf or boasting about Greensboro, N.

We were just visiting, however, and soon went back to our home, Bax- ter Springs, Kansas. I went to kindergarten there, but by the time I was ready to enter the first grade, we had moved to Leadville, Colorado. I spent eight long years in dear old Lead- ville High School, and it was quite a change when I trans- ferred to Haverford in 1935. It was a long, arduous task, but I've finally made the Honor Roll. Swimming has been my favorite sport at Haverford, and I've been on the team several times. My hopes for the future are to study engineering at Cornell, along with a considerable numer of my class, after an extended tour of the country, from Fair to Fair, in a 1928 Ford station wagon with three other hopeful Haverford grad- uates. if-A EDITORS NOTE: Our Faculty Adviser feels safe from flying oranges now that you're off to Cornell. 79 , wx 'I I 39 WILLIAM BRYSON WALLOWER Bill Entered: 1935 PRINCETON Soccer H '38, '39 Gym '39 Swimming '37, '38, '39 Baseball '37 Crew '38, '39 Polemics '38, '39 Game Committee '39 You have to show me as I was born in Ioplin, Missouri, in l92O. A year later my family moved across the border to Kansas, our residence tor seven years. We decided there was more gold in Colorado and therefore moved to Leadville. As the gold was vanishing, we moved back east and en- rolled in Haverford in 1935. I entered into the school spirit enthusiastically, but the first year was rather hard. I have studied seriously and persistently, however, Without a tre- mendous amount ot success. I am satisfied with both my athletic and scholarly career. Nevertheless, l have my doubts about getting into the college of my choice, and may try Cor- nell or even Stanford. As to my tuture in engineering--look in Who's Who in twenty years-you probably won't tind my name. I 9 39 80 ROBERT ELLIOT WALTON Bob, Entered: 1935 YALE Swimming H '36, '37, '38, Capt.

Then, about six years later I attended school in Califomia for a year. On my retum I went to school in Radnor until the latter half of the ninth grade. Then began my most beneficial tour years at the Haverford School. My marks never were very high, but I managed to squeeze through. I have been a member of the swimming team for four years and finally became captain. My other interests are the Glee Club, the Current Events Club, skiing, and riding. I went out for crew for two and a halt seasons and became captain of that also. Haverford has taught me that loafing doesn't pay and also how to argue my way out of such things as demerits. I hope to graduate lrom Yale within four or tive years. As for the most momentous decision-what to do with myself then-I haven't decided. iii EDITOR'S NOTE: Bob, astride his nag, is known as the Lone Ranger ot St. Davids.

I went to Radnor High for twelve years and then decided to take a year at Hav- erford. My main interest outside of school is music. I belong to the Glee Club and the school orchestra. I have no particular likes or dislikes, but I'1l argue with everyone who doesn't think Artie Shaw is swell. When spring and summer roll around, I enjoy playing tennis and baseball.

By the time I was ready to start school, we moved to Manoa, and have lived there ever since. I never attended kindergarten, but at the age of five I was enrolled in the Manoa public school. I remained in the Haverford Township schools until I graduated on Iune 18, 1938. I then decided to attend Haverford School to get a little more experience. My father told me that I must be trying to collect diplomas, I have received a diploma from Haverford High School, and I plan to receive one from Haver- ford School, one from the University of Pennsylvania, and one from a medical school. I have made many friends at Haver- ford School, and I hope that we can remain in contact after my graduation. So long, Haverford, and hello, Penn! 83 HAL! iii! ROBERT M. WHITE Bob Entered: 1938 RUTGER5 Gym '39 Track '39 Camera Club '39 My first personal appearance took place in a small New Iersey town named Wenonah. It is there that I have resided lor eighteen years. I came to Haverford, after graduating from Woodbury High School, to assemble a so-called scholas- tic background, if I have not gained one, however, my year has not been wasted, for I certainly have learned how to be- come a success regardless ot education. My outside activities-involved the gym team, the Camera Club, and the track team, all of which I greatly enjoyed. I9 I 84 CHARLES POWELL WHITE!-EAD. IR. whiny, C, P.

'38 Student Council '39 Game Committee '39 In the fall of 1931 two faces appeared on the campus of Haverford-one was that of the Ryan Memorial Building, the other is pictured on this page. Loyal to the years that I spent in St, Louis, I began to talk about the Cardinals and their pen- nant prospects, I have continued to do so, though I-am by no means as rabid a baseball fan as another member of the senior class. Also I have always rooted for the Princeton Tigers. There are some memories of Haverford School that I will not lose. Daily sight translation in Dr. Newhall's Latin class, Charley Gault's blackboard talks, Mr. Iamesorfs frantic efforts with the Glee Club, Mr. Barr's 8:20 French, and Mr. Shaw's monthly tests are just a few. Also in my memory is a pair of Penn Charter goal posts cov- ered with bright maroon paint. It seems hard to realize that I won't be back next fall, sit- ting in the Big Room and repeating the routine I have followed for the last eight years. To Princeton, however, I am bound, to complete my education. After that, perhaps newspaper or advertising work will call me. Time alone will tell. iii Someday I will be in the Davis Cup Matches.

In 1938, however, I left home and came to Haverford where I have struggled with studies all year. Living in the Oaks for this period has given me a pretty fair opportunity to know a lot of good fellows. It seems as though I came along at a fortunate time lor was it fortunate?J at least as lar as planning a future is con- cerned because I will not have to worry about that. Hitler seems to have planned it for me. iii' EDITORS NOTE: I'Iank's a smooth worker, look at his success at the Youth Concerts,-and, if we heard correctly, we don't mean music.

After six of my earliest years had been spent in the placid environment of Westtown School, my family migrated to the very different atmosphere of Culver Military Academy. In 1934 we appeared at Haverford, and I entered the Second Form just in time to be in the last class which received Mr. Wyckoff's own famous English course. I have tried football, soccer, swimming, baseball, and track, but the latter remains my favorite method of avoiding 61-XX. My chief distinctions seem to be that I completed two hitless seasons of baseball, and that I am the only senior who rides a bicycle to school, and that I was a charter member of the Latin Club. For hob- bies I indulge in photography, aviation magazines, current events, and the drawing of fantastic airplanes during History class.

It was my privilege to be one of this select crowd, and consequently I'm a charter member of this class. That was twelve years ago, but l'm still here. I suppose the only explanation for this is that I think Haverford's a pretty good place. I couldn't tell you why, it just is. During this time I have tried my hand at about every- thing the school has offered me, playing on various pound teams, etc., and getting involved in a few clubs and organi- zations. I don't have any particular hobbies, but I did spend a few summers racing outboards and have done a little flying. All I can say about my future or my ambitions is that I have sent in an application to Princeton. What will come from this move, only time can tell. iii' EDITOR'S NOTE: Aside from being one of the best gems in the class, Iim is a first class promoter task any seniorj. sbxmr G' I9 39 88 GEORGE COATES YOUNG Entered: 1937 MIAMI OR NORTH CAROLINA Tennis '38, '39 Polemics '38 Current Events Club '39 Camera Club '38, '39 Although I live in Wynnewood, I came to Haverford from four years of school in the southwest. I entered in the fall of 1937 cmd became an ever-traveling member of the class. Dur- ing the two years I have been here I have spent only half that time at school, the other half being passed in Florida because of poor health. I have been interested in all the sports here, although asthma has kept me from participating. I have managed to play all the tennis possible. I like to play all sports that require rac- quets, such as tennis, badminton, squash, and ping-pong. Unfortunately I have never been at Haverford long enough to try out for any team. Last year I joined the Polemics, and this year I was a mem- ber of the Current Events and Camera Clubs. Although I liked these very much, my main interests are music and jour- nalism, and I hope to become either a second Paul Whiteman or Lowell Thomas. Whatever the future holds, I will always be convinced that Haverford is the best school in the world, and I am sorry I have to leave so soon. EDITORS NOTE: If we could look as brown and downright healthy as George did when he returned from Florida after the Spring Vacation, we'd be willing to spend a few weeks in the Southland, too. 89 Y I9 I 39 THE E AMILY TREE 1938 Brooks 1937 1936 1935 1934 1933 1932 1931 1930 1929 1928 1927 Chandler, Collins Esrey, Garrison Greer, Hancock, Hinkel McCoach, Murdock, Richards, Rogers Sears, Stanley, Warwick, Wilton Boak, Croskey, Drew, Harvey Hughes, Keay, Maston, Neilson, Young Coslett, Harrison, Palmer, Robinson Andrews, Bailey, Brigg, Cole, Culver Favre, McConaghy, Paist, H.

CHEYNEY SMITH-Head of School Fifteen thousand eight hundred forty , said Mr. Bennett one morning recently to a sixth grader as he opened the car door for the lad at the school porch. Yes, sir, replied Bill, that's the number of inches around a quarter-mile track. We found that for Sir Iones last week. lt's the number of car doors I've opened for you boys here this year, too , replied our genial door keeper as he added another click to his counting machine. - With the School at the highest enrollment in its history, it is only natural that the seven classes of the Iunior School should have increased by fifteen to a total of two hundred fifty-four. To guide the scholastic, athletic, artistic and musical destinies of this small army we have our old staff of twenty-one, plus Mr. Charles Dethier, the only additional full-time teacher to appear this year in the Iunior School. Mrs. Oram cares for the Pre-school class, a new name to be sure, but she seems to resemble exactly our Miss Murphy of previous ears. Y The unique custom of addressing and referring to the masters by the title Sir instead of the familiar Mr. is becoming more strongly entrenched each year. If the boys crave immediate and personal attention, they page Sir Foster, Sir Kingham, Sir Fraley, Sir Nauss. Sir Dethier, Sir Iones or Sir Smith. What did the Iunior School do this year in addition to making the highest rating yet reached in the Metropolitan Achievement Tests? fOur sixth grade, you know, was within three months of the average private school seventh grade.l As usual in the fall we played football and soccer in uniform, with five of our masters coaching junior teams. Sir Kingham's ninety-pounders won all of their games for the second year in succession, and Sir Iones' eleven-and-twelve-year soccer team finished four points ahead of their opponents. Mrs. Fitzenmaiers Amazing Americans from the first three grades made the welkin ring every day in supervised play . This horde of wild Indians was easily tamed, how- ever, to enjoy group games, by Mrs. Fitz and her able assistants, Edward Klopp and David Lindsay. At last these little play-boys have a garage for their wagons, The Little White House built by the sixth graders as a manual training project. Also to appear on the play court for the first time this year was the Show Boat, a noble craft which is hard aground but which in imagination sails the high seas every fair day. On the stage the outstanding productions were an Esquimo play by the Second Grade and the Christmas Carol which was given twice by two completely different casts from the Sixth Grade. There were also a number of original and entertaining pro- grams in line with modern trends of radio broadcasts. Music took a prominent part in our school life this year. Sitting at a new grand piano, Miss Spangler provided leadership which was more than usually productive of fun and profit. A glee club of Sixth Graders met weekly during the winter, and on one occasion went to the Cricket Club to sing at a luncheon of the Iunior Red Cross. After we had studied Carmen , two of Miss Spangler's protegees came one morning to amplify our reportoire from that opera with solos and dances. We also learned a number of songs from The Mikado , Lohengrin , and Hansel and Gretel , producing the latter in brief form and simple costuming. Mr. Barone has developed a promising orchestra of twenty pieces from the modest beginning of one violin last year. Watch this group grow. At Christmas time we were proud of our boys for bringing one hundred filled stockings for the Bedford Street Missionp and for making an eighty dollar contribution to the children's party work of the College Settlement. Two special lectures thrilled us this year. The first was Mr. Morris Frank's talk about the Seeing Eye, with a demonstration of what Buddy the Second can do to make his life pleasanter and more useful. More recently Mrs. Florence Griscom came to talk about birds and to show us her intimate pictures of bird life. The Gym Exhibition included a colorful long wand drill to music, in addition to games and races. The Globe made five appearances, presenting stories and poems by boys of all grades. The art room again provided a setting for the Hobby Show, with a number of interest- ing exhibitions, including the ribbon-winning plane of eight-year-old Charles Conrad. Thirty members of the class of 1939 began their Haverford career in the Iunior School. The class of 1945 is leaving this department nowg forty-five strong, virile boys to carry on into the Upper School the spirit of achievement they have so ably shown here. They will be a credit to their Alma Mater, and with accretions along the way may be the first class to graduate one hundred men. 105 THE OAKS Sixth Row: Scull, Hughes, H.

This year the Council has been larger than any other for a long time. Under the leadership of Bill Nicholson and Graham Dripps, it has succeeded in enforcing the statutes of the school and in righting a number ot matters within the student body. lU9 Standing: Culver, Wood, Lord, Mr. Hunt, Esrey, Chase Seated: Whitehead, Edson, Funk, Dorr INDEX BOARD Editor-in-Chief ....

Chase Business Manager ,.........,......,............ lack Culver Through the cooperation of a large number of students, the Index ape peared in newspaper form fifteen times during the year. A temporary board handled the first four issues. ln Ianuary Mr. Hunt, the Faculty Adviser, chose a permanent editorial staff which continued in office until April, when a Fifth Form group took over its duties. The attempt to change the lndex from a magazine to a newspaper was apparently successful in the eyes of the student body, but its literary value is a matter of personal opinion. Certainly there were several innovations which added interest. lnquiring Reporter fthe opinions of Haverfordians on current topics! and Record Ramblings Cnotes on popular musicl were two of these. The social column and the news of the Oaks were interesting but suffered from stereotyped style. Feature stories consisted mainly of Faculty biographies. News reporters covered the weekly alumni speeches and the club activities. The editorial and sports departments remained from the old Index and were handled in the usual fashion. The experiment of a school paper will prove more successful during the coming years as experience leads the way to a better publication. The efforts and the industry, however, of this year's board will be hard to equal. 110 Fifth Row: W. Hughes, Wright, H. Wood, Hinkel, I. Wallace Fourth Row: Baruch, B, Wallace, McConaghy, T.

The entertainment was given on two nights with the Glee Club helping out in the intermission on Saturday, the l7th. lt was decided to give the play twice because many people who came last year could not find seats. The Wolves is a highly dramatic story of the French Revolution and the Republican Army. Though it was more serious than the usual school production and, perhaps, less interesting to the audience, the play gave the club a great opportunity to get experience and to discover new talent. For this reason it was a great success. The cast was as follows: Officers of the French Army CRepublicanI Teulier ..........,.............,...

Brooks McConaghy, '39, Grant McCabe, '41 1 On March the 3, after extensive preparation and much excitement, the Dramatic Club presented its annual Play and Dance at the Bellevue-Stratford. The leadinig lady, Miss Anna C. Keen, practiced with us steadily until Wednes- day, March 1, when she came down with a severe case of grippe. lt was our great fortune that Miss Elizabeth Keen, Ann's sister, could give up her work in New Yark and fill in at the crucial moment. ln only 56 hours, Betty learned the part so well that by her polished acting she inspired the rest of the cast to ever better performances. The play chosen was Three Wise Fools by Austin Strong. This is the story of three bachelors: Theodore Findley, a crotchety old business man lost deep in ab mass of ruts , Richard Gaunt, an eminent psychologist and rut- remover ,fand james Trumbull, an upright judge. The three wise fools live together when Sidney Fairchild, the daughter of a former sweetheart of all three, comes to live with them. Naturally, she falls in love with Findley's supposedly worthless nephew. Later it turns out that her father, convicted of embezzlement, is associated with a notorious forger, known as Benny the Duck, who has sworn to get even with judge Trumbull, the man who sent him to jail. Ajfter much excitement and considerable discouragement on the part of the wise fools, the whole affair turns out all right when Benny confesses that he has framed Sidney's father and thus proves that she is free from all suspicion., At the end of the play, the three men return to their ruts, leaving Sidney reunited with Gordon, the nephew who, of course, has turned out better than expected. As usual the play was followed by a gay dance. Above the music were heard many compliments on the production. lt was obvious from the tone and quantity of these that Mr. Redman and his troupe of Thespians had scored for the third time. All credit goes to the director, the stage managers, and the cast, which was as follows: Mr. Theodore Findley . . . . . .S. Leonard Kent, 3rd '39 Dr. Richard Gaunt .... ..... I oseph I.

Robert U. lameson Because ot Mr. lameson's patient instruction at 8:30 rehearsals, the Glee Club developed into a fine unit and performed publicly three times during the year. On December 17, the organization aided the Dramatic Club's pres- entation by singing between the acts lohn Peel -an English Hunting song- and When the Foeman Bares His Steel from the Pirates ot Penzance . This program was repeated at the Fathers Dinner later in the Winter. It was well received, several in the audience remarking that it was the best per- formance ever given by a Haverford School Glee Club. At the Bellevue-Stratford on March 3, the annual Play and Dance was held, augmented by a Glee Club recital. The program consisted ot selec- tions from the 'lMikado - The Lord High Executionerf' Gentlemen of Iapan, and the finale. A double quartet of Greer, Warwick, Culver, Walton, Boles, Ivey, Ed Emack, and Casey sang The Madrigalu, also from that Gilbert and Sullivan opera. 1 16 'Y l Left to Right: I.

Barone Manager . . . . S. Leonard Kent, 3rd This year plans for the enlargement and improvement of the school or- chestra were prepared at a very early date, Mr. Barone, the patient and tireless conductor, met with veteran members in October to consider the pros- pects for the season. At this meeting he outlined a policy which he hoped would increase the membership of the orchestra. As several of last years players had graduated, there were many vacancies to be filled. The results of this campaign were very encouraging, as the enrollment practically doubled. Playing first at the Fathers dinner and next at the annual Play and Dance at the Bellevue, the orchestra will close its season by assisting at the come mencement exercises. To Mr. Barone the credit goes for raising the standard of musicianship and the ability of the players. l-lis unceasing efforts for improvement, to- gether with the earnest cooperation of the students, has resulted in an organie zation of which the school is proud. Next year, members of the lower forms are expected to take an increased share in the activities of this group. ll7 Fourth Row: Mr. Shaw, Paist, Young, Morewood, I. Eiman, W.

Spackman, Stanger CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club, now in its fourth year of existence, once again proved itself to be one of the most popular organizations in school and had a very successful year under the guidance of Mr. Shaw. As its members are for the most part taken from the American History class, the subjects of discussion run along these lines. The important events which have been taking place, new discoveries and inventions, and subjects of general interest were brought up this year, Each week a number of members prepared talks on these themes and presented them before the club. ln addition to this work, the club ratified its constitution, which had been drawn up the year before. The guest speaker this year was Mr. William A. Wiedersheim, 2nd, who showed movies of Germany and spoke of his experiences there the previous summer. The officers for the first term were Carl Andrews, President, Horace Spack- man, Vice President, Frederick Stanger, Secretary. For the second term, Iames Wright was elected President, Graham Dripps, Vice President, and Archer Soby, Secretary. 1 18 Standing: Deutsch, W. Wallower, Hinkel, Mr, Severinghaus, Sapp, Drew, I.

Severinghaus Aside from the regular weekly meetings, The Polemics arranged two pro- grams to which the school was invited. One morning in lanuary, the assem- bly room was changed into a magistrates court, here two real life dramas were presented. The entertainment was one of real educational value to the audience. The second program, a little more advanced, was a debate with the Haverford College Freshmen debaters, held on March 9. The three speak- ers, Hinkel, Hamill, and Kent, were all busy with the Bellevue play until March 3. In the intervening six days the entire club and Mr. Severinghaus collabo- rated on the preparation of the debate. The topic was: Resolved that the United States should enter into a military alliance with Great Britain. The Polemics held down the negative side and though, by agreement, there was no formal decision, the members of the club put up a fine opposition to the attack of their elder opponents from the college. The club earnestly hopes that next year there will be more boys who are willing to do the work that is required by membership in the Polemics. lt is too bad that the fear of facing an audience is great enough to deter boys from entering into the fun which all the members are enjoying. 119 Standing: V.

Fenno Hoffman This year the French Club labored under serious handicaps. Although the initial membership showed a substantial increase over last year's, there Were still not enough members to carry out successfully the plans which had been devised by the president and Monsieur L'l'leritier. Nevertheless, the value of the club-the many opportunities for coming into contact with French customs and manners, the unequalled chance to hear French spoken Well, and the occasion for self expression-was apparent to all who took part this year, The members read French plays and delivered short ad- dresses. It was hoped that a play might be given in Chapel, but plans for this encountered snags. Monsieur L'Heritier deserves unqualified praise for the way in which he patiently criticized and helped the struggling tyros. His encouragement and assistance helped all to improve their diction and their enunciation. I-le hopes that the projects started this year may be brought to a successful con- clusion next year. 120 Standing: Dr. Newhall, Dorr, Street, Daniel, Esrey, Bassert, Fox, Hopkinson Seated: Frey, Sapp, Howell, Royer, L.

Most of the members felt that this study made the club period too much like another class. Therefore the sessions were spent in reading English translations of ancient Latin writers having to do with everyday life in Rome and Italy. On one occasion the members viewed pictures of old buildings and scenes in Home through a stere- oscope brought by Dr. Newhall. 121 Fifth Row: Young, W, Hastings, Koch, Culver, H, Wallower, Reynolds Fourth Row: White, Scheffey, Funk, Ebersold Third Row: lon.

Since its beginning in l936, it has grown and expanded to include some twenty-five boys. The club obtained, through the help of Mr. Boocock, a fine darkroom in the Oaks. This has been used by many of the members in their work. With an eye looking forward to more visual education at Haverford, the club has held many meetings at which motion pictures were shown. Operating and pro- jection technique were demonstrated and discussed. Both sound and silent l6 MM. equipment was explained. Interest was stimulated by these informa- tive meetings. As this book goes to press the Camera Club is holding its second annual photographic contest. We regret that we can not publish a picture of the Winner and his prize snap. 122 Second Row: T, Cole, Yeager, Sheppard, Castelli, McCabe Front Row: lleutsch, Favre W, Einian AIRPLANE CLUB This year, through the interest of several of the boys in a model airplane club, such a club was organized, Shortly after midfyears the group got under way, and lack Favre was elected President. During a very active but short season, the club has laid good foundations for next year. The school hopes that such hobby clubs as this will flourish in the future and is glad that this group has done so Well in this, its first year. l23 RING COMMITTEE Pcxinier, Wright, Andrews DANCE COMMITTEE Staples, Dripps, Chcxffe, Burdick 124 up-, -4-ll?-' .. .1-, .!'

Although the team defeated Germantown Academy, 6-U, and Episcopal, 13-U, ties with Penn Charter and Friends' Cen- tral forced Haverford to share the title with Germantown. In outside competition, Haverford defeated Brooklyn Poly Prep, tied with Frankford High, but fell before the superior age and weight of Pennington and Lawrenceville. This record is very creditable in view of the competition, for there were certainly no breathers in the l938 football schedule. HAVERFORD 7: FRANKFORD 7 On September 23, Haverford played its annual opening game with Franke ford'High and gave a fairly good indication of the kind of football which was to come during the remainder of the season. The Maroon and Gold was outplayed by Frankford during most of the game, the latter pounding out six first-downs to our one during the first three quarters. ln an attempt to gain ground, lack Emack faded back to toss a third-period pass which was intercepted by Frankford and returned 45 yards for a touchdown. After the extra point had been added, Coach Elwood Geiges sent in his second squad, which penetrated to Haverford's 25-yard line. With but four minutes of play remaining, lack Emack caught a long Frankford punt on his own ten-yard stripe, cut sharply to the right sidelines, and burst through a cluster of tacklers at the SU-yard line. The rest of his 90-yard run was unopposed. Captain Bill Nicholsons gifted toe brought the extra point needed for a tie. For the rest of the contest, Haverford kept the Frankford attack bottled up, and the final score was 7-7. 126 Sixth Row: O'Neal, Connelly, Barker, W. Brook, Chandler, W.

The Maroon and Gold started a drive from its own 40 yard line early in the first period. Nicholson and Emack alternated in reeling off the biggest gains in an advance which featured straight power plays. Captain Nicholson took charge of the attack at the ten-yard stripe, and in tour successive plunges scored Haverfords only touchdown of the day. With Emack holding the ball, Bill converted the extra point. ln the second period, George Nieurohr, Poly Prep quarterback, snared a short pass from Iack Ferris on the Qvyard line and crossed the goal stripe unmolested. Ferriss drop-kick sailed Wide of the uprights. The visitors made another drive in the fourth quarter but were checked at the 8-yard line. HAVERFORD 0: PENNINGTON 20 On Friday, October 7, the football team travelled to Pennington, New Iersey, to meet an older and more experienced foe. The opposition scored three smashing touchdowns, then rested on its laurels and sent in the second eleven. Haverford never had a chance against the New Iersey team. The game, however, was of great value to Doc Wallace's charges in the experi- ence which was received, even though a few minor injuries were sustained during the course of the encounter. 127 Bill Nicholson CCapt,l I-lalfback Howard Potts Fullback Graham Drlpps Halfback Bob Gamble Halfback lack Emack Quarterback Ed Emack Halfback 128 Bernard Ross Guard Pete Brigg Guard Iohn Siaples Tackle Iohn Kiely Tackle George Collins End Ioe Drew End 129 Elmer Hancock Center Sarn Baugh Tackle Bill Pfizer Guard Horace Spackman End Carl Andrews Manager Doc Wallace Coach 130 .Le,w,.V , .

Captain Nicholson and his mates were determined to preserve the four-year spell which the team had held over the Blue and Gold. Misfortune, however, struck the Haverford attack early in the game as Iay Disston, Charter halfback, snared a fumble in mid- air and ran 71 yards for a touchdown. The try for conversion was blocked by the Maroon and Gold line. The game see-sawed until late in the fourth period when Ed Emack entered the game and began slashing and passing his way to the 26-yard line. From there he unloosed a pass to brother lack, who made a spectacular catch on the Queen Laner's one yard line. On the next play, Eddie plowed through the line into the end zone. This action took place with two minutes of play remaining. Nicholson's kick was blocked by a desperate Penn Charter forward wall, and the game ended in a 6-6 dead- lock. HAVERFORD 62, GERMANTOWN ACADEMY IJ lack Emack was again the hero when Haverford defeated Germantown on the Main Line field by a 6-0 score on October 21. As the Germantown ends converged on lack in the act of catching a punt, he ran back a few steps, then drove forward and caught the ball on a dead run, leaving his would-be tacklers behind. The rest of his long run was unopposed, and so Haverford scored the only touchdown of the game. ln the second half, Ed Emack broke his leg above the knee. Thus the team was robbed of its passer and line- plunger for the rest of the season. By this victory over Cooper French's team, the Maroon and Gold gained a tie for the league crown. HAVERFORD 05 FRIENDS CENTRAL 0 Haverford lost an opportunity to become the sole ruler of the Interaca- demic League by playing a scoreless tie with Friends' Central on a very muddy field, October 28. The condition of its own gridiron and an opposing line which hit hard conspired to keep the Maroon and Gold from victory. ln the second quarter, Howard Potts and Graham Dripps alternated in a 54- yard drive which was halted on the Friends Central 10-yard marker. In the fourth period lack Ernack and Howard Potts could not be stopped until a pass interception on the 19-yard stripe broke up the successful combination. The visitor's only threat came as a result of a clipping penalty which gave the Quakers the ball on Haverford's twenty. -However, the Maroon and Gold regained possession of the ball, and the contest ended in a scoreless tie. HAVERFORD 13g EPISCOPAL 0 By taking advantage of two breaks and converting them into touchdowns, Haverford triumphed over Episcopal, 13-0, on November 4 on our home field. In the second quarter, lohn Staples blocked a punt and recovered on the Episcopal 20-yard line. On the next play the Churchmen fell on a fumble from the hands of lack Emack, but Howard Potts broke through and blocked the visitor's second attempt at kicking. The ball was then carried by Emack and Potts to the Episcopal 12-yard stripe, where with seconds remaining until half time, Howard threw a flat pass to Spackman for a touchdown. Conver- sion was made by a lateral toss from Potts to Emack. In the last period, Dripps intercepted a forward pass on the Blue and White 30. The ball was worked down to the Episcopal 6, and a 5-yard penalty for offside drove the visitors back to their own one-yard line. Potts scored on a line plunge, but Nicholson's placement was blocked. Episcopal never offered a serious threat, and the game ended at 13-0. IContinued on page 1551 131 Haverford Haverford . Haverford . Haverford Haverford First 135-LB.

The team, however, played good individual soccer, and it was due to ragged teamwork that we were defeated. HAVERFORD 4: HILL 2 At Pottstown on Saturday, Oct. 8, our booters, playing a fine game, turned in one of the most pleasing and satisfactory wins of the season when they defeated Hill 4-2. lim Burdick scored two of our goals, with Ted MacConaghy and Powell Whitehead accounting for the others. HAVERFORD 1: PENN CHARTER 2 Haverford started off its lnterac season with the worst possible luck, when it met Penn Charter on October lO. Upon leaving our school to go to Queen Lane, Phil Cole, our center half, met with an automobile accident which in- capacitated him for the rest of the season. As a result of this, the team had to be switched around, and several boys were forced to play in unfamiliar posi- tions. HAVERFORD 0: GIRARD COLLEGE 5 HAVERFORD, 3: GERMANTOWN FRIENDS. 2 HAVERFORD.

Two of these wins, the ones against Germantown Friends and Friends Central, were in league competition. HAVERFORD 1: WESTTOWN 2 It was a strong Westtown team which halted our short winning streak. With both teams playing a hard game, the 2-l final outcome was not decided until the last whistle. Ted McConaghy tallied our lone goal. HAVERFORD 2: HAVERI-'ORD HIGH 1 HAVERFORD 4: EPISCOPAL 2 HAVERFORD 4: FRIENDS SELECT 1 ' Getting under way again, Haverford took over two Interac opponents, Episcopal and Friends' Select, and our neighboring Haverford High. Mc- Conaghy scored four goals, and Capt. Burdick, Whitehead and Croskey two apiece, in these three games. HAVERFORD 0: LANSDOWNE HIGH 1 Playing poor and listless soccer, the team submitted l-U to a plucky Lans- downe High team. HAVERFORD 6: GERMANTOWN ACADEMY 0 With fourteen seniors making their last appearance, the soccer team played its final game with a league opponent, Germantown Academy, at home on November 17. The score, 6-0 in our favor, proves that a good after- noon was had by all except Germantown Academy. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons that a Haverford soccer team has had in many years. We tied for the lnteracademic championship with Penn Charter and Germantown Friends, arid but for the unfortunate after- noon at Queen Lane would have won it outright. Every member of the team is to be congratulated for the part he played in the success of the sea- son. The following boys, all of whom are seniors, received letters: Blatz, Capt. Burdick, Cole, Croskey, Harrison, Harvey, Howell, McConaghy, Palmer, Sears, Stanger, Wallower, Wright, and Russell, Manager.

Wallower, McConaghy, Havens, Galt GYMNASIUM After several months of work and preparation in the apparatus room, the annual Gym Meet was held on Friday, March 10. The meet was very suc- cessful and was watched by a large crowd. In the competition, Howard Galt climaxed four years of hard work to win the cup. Ted McConaghy and Tim Lewis were the other competitors in this event. Bob Stineman's unfor- tunate injury to his wrist in the final rehearsal prevented him from participat- ing in this competition. The class drill for the First, Second, and Third Forms was won by the First Forrners, who worked with Indian clubs. As a result of tryouts held a few days alter the exhibition, GHT's were awarded to Galt and McConaghy, while Havens, Stineman, Wallower, W., and White won GT's. The, Gym squad was coached this year by Ioe McQuillen and Francis Brown. 'i f'The number working out daily was not as large as usual, and it is hoped that next year there will be a larger turnout. A great deal of benefit can be gained from this kind of work. 139 I Standing: L. Taylor CMgr.l, F. Brooks, Culver, Ervin, Mr. Allen lCoachl Seated: Howard-Smith, F. Thayer, Hinkel, D. Taylor, Montgomery PENDING The Fencing Team was revived this year under the able guidance of Mr. Dana Allen, formerly ot the Harvard team, assisted by Roy Hinkel, of the Sword Club. A large group consisting of lack Culver, Harry League, Iohn Stanley, Ted Thayer, Beale Wilson, Tom Greer, Doug Howard-Smith, Frank Brooks, Binney Montgomery, Dave Taylor, Clittord Lull, Ervin and Hardcastle, were initiated into the intricacies of the foils. Although the team lost to Perm Charter and Valley Forge Military Acad- emy by close scores ot 5 to 4 and 6 to 3 respectively, much favorable comment was received from coaches and directors. The showing ot the boys promises well for next year. The highlight ot the season was the team's exhibition in the annual gym meet. At that time Iack Culver beat Harry League to win the school championship after the team had given an exhibition ot team fencing. Letters were awarded to the following boys: lack Culver, Harry League, Roy I-linkel, Iohn Stanley, Tom Greer, and Loyall Taylor, manager. 140 Standing: Ebert lMgr.J, Whitehead, H.

Potts, Collins, Boles BASKETBALL With only one letter-man, Captain Burdick, back from last year, Coach Gault had four positions to fill, The material was good, however, and in spite of its inexperience the team did unusually well. The line-up for the season was as follows: Forwards-lim Burdick, Iohn Richards, Elmer Han- cock: Center-Howard Potts, GuardskFred Harvey and George Collins. HAVERFORD 21: PERKIOMEN 27 The veteran Perkiomen team put on a last-period spurt to overcome an early Haverford lead and win 27 to 21. HAVERF ORD 23: LAWRENCEVILLE 48 With Futwiler, star center, leading the scoring, a very strong Lawrence- ville team piled up a lead of sixteen points in the first period. In the second quarter Haverford came to life and fought hard through the rest of the game. HAVERFORD 18: HAVERI-'ORD HIGH 12 This was the first night game of the season. With Richards pacing the attack, the team ran up a first period lead which was never threatened by the opponents, and then coasted through the second half to an easy victory. HAVERFORD 23: WEST PHILADELPHIA HIGH 22 This game was one of the season's most thrilling. West Philadelphia led during the greater part of the game, but with a few minutes to play we tied the score, and the game Went into extra time. Thanks to George Col- Lins' timely field goal in the second extra period, the final score was Haver- ford 23 to West Phi1adelphia's 22. HAVERFORD 23: GERMANTOWN FRIENDS 25 Charley Gault's charges fared poorly in their lnterac League debut. A fighting Germantown team, catching its visitors in a slump, upset them for the first time in several years. HAVERFORD 21: U. OF P. FRESHMEN 30 At the end of the first half the score was tied at 14 all. In the second half, however, the Penn Fresh team gradually pulled away and triumphed. I HAVERFORD 24: GERMANTOWN ACADEMY 15 In the second league game Haverford avenged its loss to Germantown Friends by defeating Germantown Academy. Throughout the first three quar- ters the game was rather even, and the lead changed hands often. ln the last period our team got started and breezed through to an easy victory, with Burdick as high scorer. HAVERFORD 22: FRANKFORD 18 ln this game our team was in great form and kept a small lead through the entire game, Winning 22 to 18. HAVERFORD 23: PENN CHARTER 25 This game, as usual, was a thriller. Penn Charter got off to an early lead and at the end of the first quarter was ahead 6 to 0. Haverford then woke up and gradually cut down the deficit until at the half the score was eleven apiece. Both teams started the third period with a grim determination to win. but Penn Charter had the breaks and managed to get a two-point lead. ln spite of the efforts of our quintet, this advantage was held. HAVERFORD 29: CHESTNUT HILL 27 Getting back into the winning column, Haverford nosed out Chestnut Hill 29 to 27 in one extra period. Although the Maroon and Gold held a slight edge most of the time, it was anybody's game right up to the final gun. Elmer Hancock, playing his first full game, paced the team with nine points. Q HAVERFORD 21: THE HILL SCHOOL 37 Handicapped by Captain Burdick's inability to play, Haverford never threatened the strong Hill team and lost the game by a score of 37 to 21. HAVERFORD 48: GIRARD COLLEGE 31 Continuing our alternation between wins and defeats, we took an early lead and held it all through the game, crushing our opponents by a score of 48 to 31. Hancock and Collins shared the top-scoring honors. HAVERFORD 23: EPISCOPAL 19 This game, like the Penn Charter contest, was a hard fought one, but this time, with the advantage of excellent scouting, Haverford came out on the long end of the score. ln the first quarter Episcopal forged ahead, and at the half led 10 to 9. ln the third quarter the Haverfordians effectually stopped the opposing offense and launched an attack of their own. lim Burdick was high scorer with ten points. HAVERFORD 23: VALLEY FORGE M. A. 20 ln a fast game the team successfully invaded cadet territory and carried off a 23 to 20 victory. Haverford was clearly the master of the court and led through the entire game. HAVERFORD 31: FRIENDS' CENTRAL 37 In the final league game of the year Haverford was defeated by a clock- work-smooth Friends' Central team. Although the opponents led through the whole game, we pressed them closely right up to the closing gun and at no part of the contest was the lead a very safe one. HAVERFORD 36: BROOKLYN POLY PREP 25 For this, the final contest of the year, the team traveled to Brooklyn and finished the season in a blaze of glory by winning an easy victory. Leading the entire. game as Hancock paced the scoring with seventeen points. And so ended another basketball season. Haverford placed third in the lnteracademic League. The team had a successful season, Winning nine out of sixteen encounters.

A. ll Haverford 49, West Catholic High 16 loe McQuillen, having lost a great many swimmers last year through graduation, performed a miracle in developing another great Hav- erford team. He led his inexperienced squad to an unbroken string of vic- tories in dual meets. It is hard to pick out one or two boys on the team who were the big guns. There was no really outstanding member. Every candidate was out to do his best to prepare, not for this season, but for many future years of swimming. The material as a whole was inexperienced. lf it hadn't been for the fine leadership of Bob Walton, who did both diving and swimming, the team would not have had such great success. fCon1ir111ed on page 1461 143 Bob Walton Diving Ralph Hays Freestyle Backstroke Dick Ennis Breaststroke l .L M Q , 5 yflf V1 Ml Ben Crebbs Freestyle lobnny Brownback Freestyle Bob Gamble Freestyle Herb Wallower Freestyle 144 Berme Boss Breaststroke Bob Reynolds Freestyle Bill Hughes Backstroke Ed Shafer Breaststroke Phil Colo Manager loe McQuillen Coach .,. , I X W.

These men, all good, reliable swimmers from last season, formed the backbone of the team. They, however, did not carry off all the honors. Dick Ennis, only a kid last year, lowered by de- grees the breast-stroke record to l:l5.4. The medley relay team, made up ol Ennis, Hughes, and Brownback, also set a new mark. There are two other breast-strokers who have great possibilities, Bernie Ross and Ed Shafer. David Iamesr is a fine back-stroke swimmer, and Peter Daniel working under the tutelage ot Bob Walton and Ioe, is becoming a diver with a bright future. Bob Reynolds has shown ability in the free-style races. This season is the last in Haverford for Captain Walton, Crebbs, Hays-, Brownback, and Wallower. They will leave behind them a noteworthy record. The youngsters ol next year will tind it dilticult to keep up the splendid work without these graduates, but with the example set by older team-mates of this year and of years past, Haverford may look for more aquatic victories.

Staples, Howell, Blatz, Sears, and Spreter won their matches, but Captain Bill Prizer handicapped by a bad left hand, fell before Episcopa1's No. 1 man in three hard-fought games.

Afs team 6-U. The matches were played at Manheim on the 23rd of February. 1 HAVERFORD 3: GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB IUNIORS 3 Playingithe Germantown Cricket Iuniors for the second time, the squash team fought it out to a 3-3 deadlock. This was the crucial match of the sea- son, for if wie had come out on top, we could have won the championship by- making a clean sweep of Penn Charter the following week. Needless to say, every member played to the best of his ability. In the final summary, Howell, Blatz, and Spreter had won, while Staples, Prizer, and Sears had suffered defeat. HAVERI-'ORD 1: PRINCETON FRESHMEN 5 On March 4, Haverford's squash men journeyed up to Princeton and met their severest defeat of the season 5-l. Gordon Blatz was our lone winner. 4 l HAVERFORD 5: PENN CHARTER 1 March 9 saw us finish our squash season with a 5-1 win over Penn Charter in their courts. Roy Spreter was the only loser. At the end of the season Haverford was second for the Philadelphia Iunior Squash Championship, and first in the lnterac Championship. Staples, Capt. Prizer, Howell, Blatz, Sears, Spreter, and Manager lack Eiman were awarded letters.

On Wednesday, May 3, our first eight had a practice race with the Penn Fresh l5U-lb. crews. At the end of the mile course, our crew was in second place, a length behind Penn's first boat, and was several lengths ahead of the other two lightweight boats. The winning boat, rowing at a high stroke, got about a three length lead on Haverford's crew early in the race. They soon tired, however, and in the last three-eighths of the mile, our eight rapidly made up the distance to finish a very strong second. The boating for this race was: Bow, Hamill, 2, Wallower, 3, Spackman, 4, Wallace, 5, Wright, 6, Walton, 7, Cole, Stroke, Casey, Cox, Eiman. 'Time of winning boat: 5:18. The race for the lnteracadernic Championship on May 13 was a disap- pointment to Haverford followers. The school had high hopes of repeating last year's victory, but these were dashed by a strong Germantown Academy crew. Haverford, Germantown, and Penn Charter were the three entries for the race, which was rowed in a pouring rain. All three eights got off to an even start and rowed together until the quarter-mile mark. Here G. A. gained half a length on Haverford, Penn Charter losing distance to both boats. At the three-quarter-mile mark Haverford was a length behind Ger- mantown. ln the final quarter-mile dash for the finish line, Haverford was unable to gain and came in two lengths behind. Penn Charter finished third, several lengths behind our shell. The boating for this race was: Bow, Hamill, 2, Garrison, 3, Spackman, 4, Wallace, 5, Wright, 6, Walton, 7, Cole, Stroke, Casey, Cox, Eiman. Time of winning boat, 517. At the time of writing, there are three more races open to our crew, and we hope that they will come through in good style to make the season a successful one. Third Row: Russell fMgr.l, R.

The opponents surprised the home team in the first inning by scoring the first three men who came to bat. After this flurry, however, Gilman did no more scoring. In the fourth inning Haverford tied the score on runs by Dripps, Ed Emack, and Iohn Staples, adding one more in the fifth, and five more in the sixth. Haverford showed unusual hitting power in this game, and O'Brien, in fine form, struck out nine men. HAVERFORD 4: EPISCOPAL 0 Haverford won its first league game of the season by shutting out its City Line visitors 4 to U. In the second inning Ed Emack hit a double, was ad- vanced to third on Harvey's sacrifice, and scored on Staples' timely single. In the third, lack Emack hit a single and scored the second Haverford run on Hancock's two-base hit. In the sixth Ed Emack again rapped the opposing pitcher for two bases and scored on a double by Fred Harvey, who crossed the plate himself as the result of an Episcopal error. 151 4 HAVERFORD 2: FRIENDS CENTRAL 7 In this, t e second league game, a strong Friends Central nine invaded Haverford te ritory and broke the latter's winning streak. Friends Central scored one rlrin in both the third and fourth innings while Haverford was still trying to get a hit. In the fifth frame, Haverford loaded the bases, but no runs were scored.l In the next inning Haverford scored two runs, tying the score at two all. Fri ds Central tallied five times in the seventh inning and the game was on ice. n the latter half of the seventh, Ed Emack got Haverford's only hit of the day, the side was retired scoreless, leaving Friends Central victors, 7 to 2. I HAVERFORD zz: CHESTNUT I-nu. 2 On Mayl fifth the Haverford nine bounced back from its defeat at the hands of Fri: nds Central and overwhelmed Chestnut Hill on the loser's dia- mond, ZZ to . In the second frame, Haverford batted around one and one-half times and t lied ten runs. The rest of our scoring was divided through the remainder ofl the game. lack Favre's pitching was excellent, chalking up nine strike-outs afid allowing only two hits. For Haverford the game was a real slug-fest, as fhe team had twenty basehits. I 1 I HAVERFORD 4: LAWRENCEVILLE IU Continuilng the alternation between victory and defeat, Haverford suf- fered its most decisive set-back of the year when Lawrenceville won a 10 to 4 victory at Haverford. ln the first four innings the opponents did all their scor- ing. It was ot until the fifth that Haverford tallied any runs. In this inning, Howell and t rizer scored on a series of Lawrenceville errors and a single by Hancock. Tlwo more Haverford scores came in the latter half of the seventh. Haverford had three hits to Lawrencevi1le's eleven. HAVERFORD l: GERMANTOWN ACADEMY 5 On Fridby, May l2th, Haverford suffered defeat at the hands of German- town Acadetny, 5 to l. Cooper French's sluggers scored once in the first and again in thel fifth. The remaining tallies came in the last inning. Haverford's only score vias made by O'Brien in the fourth inning, when he was batted in by Ed Emacpk. One feature of the game was a shoe-string catch by center- fielder lack Emack. As the hitting was rather weak, the team did not show up as well in this game as in former ones. Y 152 I Second Row: Kent CMgr.l, Whitehead, Moorhead, Blatz fCapt.l, Paist, Warwick, Sears, Mr. Covert fFaculty Adviserb Front Bow: Painter, Wilton, Fergusson, Ed, Mellor CCoachJ, Leonards, Zinssen, Edson TENNIS This year, although much rain in April delayed the use of the courts for a week, the tennis team has had an exceptional season. One reason for this success is the work done by Eddie Mellor of the class of 1934. He has been kind enough to devote a great deal of his time to brushing up the playing tech- nique and ability of the team. Another reason is that the team is made up of almost evenly-matched boys. This allows great freedom in making out the line-ups and keeps us from being greatly handicapped when a player is missing. On April l4th, one of those discouraging days when it rains off and on all afternoon, our team met its first opponent, Lower Merion, on our courts. As neither team had had adequate practice, the tennis exhibited was not inspir- ing. Nevertheless, we won four out of the six singles matches which could be played between showers. The next day Gilman School paid us a visit on both the courts and the diamond. Fergusson, filling in as number two player when Zinsser was de- layed, was defeated in a close three-set match. This was the only one we lost, leaving us with an 8 to l victory over the Baltimore team. On Saturday, the twenty-second, after a week of practice, the team jour- neyed to Pottstown. There we met another one of those powerful Hill teams. Taking every match, they defeated Haverford, as they have before, by the un- flattering score of 9 to U. It was, however, a good opportunity for us to meet a superior team which had defeated Penn Charter by a score of 7 to 2. 153 ! April 24lth found our team taking an 8 to 1 victory from Haverford High. We had a reat advantage over our opponents as they had had a minimum of practice W account of the rain. On Ap l 27th, another rainy day, we were scheduled to play a match with Valley orge on our courts. Valley Forge kindly asked us to come up and play on the' composition courts. We took up a skeleton team of six men and won five ou, of six singles matches. Two dofys later, the day of the Penn Relays, Haverford was invaded by Westtown. lThe match was a close one, but the victory went to Westtown by a score of 5 to 4. Our firslt match in May was with the Penn Fresh team. From the fact that Ed Flanigart, our number one man last year, played fourth for the Freshmen, it is easy td see why Haverford dropped the match by a score of 7 to 2. I On May 4th the first of the lnteracademic matches was scheduled with Germantowh Academy. Iohnny Zinsser, playing number one, lost his match in an upset. i Then lvlay llth rolled around and brought with it our long-awaited trip to Queen Lane. Since the year 1923 Penn Charter had defeated Haverford in every tennis match. Nobody felt that we were the exception. Hadn't they taken two rfnatches from Hill when we had taken none? May llth, however, was our day of destiny. The nulmber one doubles match was the first to finish. Tom Sears and Tom Leonaffds gave us victory number one. Shortly after, Victor Seixas de- feated Iohrf Moorhead, who had retumed to number one singles. Then the reliable sedond doubles of Horace Paist and Bob Warwick came through with a second vlctory for Haverford. Next, Bill Vogt, Penn Charter's second big gun, defe ,ted Powell Whitehead, who had returned to the line-up after a bad cold. The tide was again turned in favor of Haverford when Captain Gordon Blatz won the fourth singles. It was then that we realized that the score would be tied in any event--a thing unknown for five years. The only one whose match was' not finished was Iohnny Zinsser, playing number three. He and his opponent, Charles Heisler, each had a set. The lead changed back and forth until the score stood 4 to 5 in favor of Heisler. Our hopes and dreams faded fast until Zinsser tied the score. Then he went ahead to win the next two games and present Haverford with the best Tennis Championship chances in Fseventeen years! As thid Haligoluk goes to press, the team still has some Interac matches to play. No one can tell what will happen, but we can say that Eddie Mellor's, Mr. Covertls, and the boys' hopes are very high and our chances are good. 154 4 ICanlinued from page 1311 HAVERFORD 0: LAWRENCEVILLE 13 Haverford observed Armistice Day in New Iersey and was overpowered by the attack of a strong Lawrenceville team, 13-O. The Red and Black al- ternated wide end-runs with off-tackle cutbacks and scored on Doc Wallace's charges in spite of their defensive tactics in the early part of the game. lack Emack came close to shaking loose on several punt run-backs but never quite succeeded. Howard Potts played spectacularly as a defensive back and matched the drive of the massive Lawrenceville line. The victors ended their season undefeated. Of the sixteen letter winners, eight will graduate and eight will return next season to aid Captain-elect Iack Emack. The seniors who won their major were Collins, Staples, Brigg, Hancock, Drew, Dripps, Prizer, and Captain Bill Nicholson whose leadership was as inspiring as his playing. The letter men who will return next season are Ross, Kiely, Potts, Spackman, Baugh, Gamble, Ed Emack, and Iack Emack. v EHEE STYLE RELAY TEAM Left to Right: R.

From last year we had such stalwarts as Capt. Bill Nicholson, Burdick, Emack, and Gamble. These have been supplemented this year by Rogers, Richards, and White, three newcomers. Yet the above were only the backbone ot a very powerful organization, since a number ot younger boys coming up in the school have been a big help. lt became evident in the early stages ol practice that we needed more field ment Consequently, the endeavors of our new assistant coach, Mr. Detweiler, have been directed along this line. He has spent a great deal of time in developing shot-putters, pole-vaulters, high-jumpers, broad-jumpers, and discus and javelin-throwers. Doc Wallace has occupied himself with the runners and sprinters. 156 IF' 5 The team went through the first two meets without any trouble, defeating Valley Forge Military Academy 88-29, and Radnor High 72-36. In the third meet, a triangular one with Olney High and Swarthmore College Freshmen, every boy was forced to extend himself to the utmost in his particular event before we won out by the rather commanding score of 69 points for Haver- ford, to 46 for Clney, and 28 for Swarthmore. In all three of these meets Bob Gamble did his usual Daily Double by winning both hurdle races, while Richards, sometimes competing in as many as six events, led the indi- vidual scoring. Burdick, Rogers, Klopp, and Croskey all gathered points in the half and the mile, League and Nicholson were successful in the 440. Emack again, as in former years, was our outstanding sprinter. On April 29 our relay team of Rogers, Burdick, Capt. Nicholson, and League ran a marvelous race in the Penn Relays to win once again the Interac Relay Championship. Our first three men, Rogers, Burdick, and Nicholson, managed to work out a ten-yard lead on our nearest rival, Episcopal. Their anchor man, however, closed up the distance on League, and both boys ran down the home stretch together. League, fortunately dove across the line a split second before Episcopal's Cooper to win the race. The time was 3 min- utes, 36.6 seconds. After the memorable Penn Relays, the track team, without the support of both Burdick and Gamble, went to Frankford to defeat the Pioneers, 54 to 26. Bill Nicholson surprised himself and everybody else by winning the hurdles. Rogers-doubled up to win both the mile and the 880 . Richards, true to form, piled up many points on field events. This meet showed that Haverford could compete successfully with any of the big public schools of the Philadelphia district. On one of the hottest days of the year, the team joumeyed to Newark, Delaware, to -find out what real competition was like. Gamble was the only first place winner, the relay team came in second. There were no other places to our credit. The Spring Sports brought out many a young aspirant to track fame. Many came out, but few won the fame they desired. The most interesting race was the special invitation 100-yd. dash for boys 185-lbs. and up. When the dust had cleared away and the earth had stopped shuddering, Howard Potts was found to be the winner, with Baugh a close second. The highlight of the afternoon was the Philip Bishop Shuttle Hurdle Relay, in which Haver- ford was forced to yield the cup to a strong Episcopal quartet. This was a serious blow to the morale of the team, which now began to look cloubtfully at the lnteracs. On May ll, while the tennis team was busy upsetting the kings of the courts, the Track team crushed Penn Charter, 68 to 31. Burdick returned to competition with a bang by winning the high jump and the half-mile. After our victory over our Queen Lane foes, the team placed second to Seton Hall in the Villanova Interscholastics. Gamble was the only winner for Haverford, setting a new meet record for the 39-inch hurdles of 15.2 seconds. Unfortunately lack Emack was forced to be on the sidelines because of an injury received the day before in a baseball game. As the Haligoluk goes to press long before the Interacs, which come on the 27th, we cannot include them in this Writeup. Our hopes, however, are very high. 157 w 1'1..'tl H-vgw 'V gm,g THAEE RELAY Left to Righi: Rogers, Burdick, Nicholson, League PHILIP BISHOP SHUTTLE RELAY Left to Right: Soby, Nicholson, Gamble, Bromer 158 Left to Right: Voehringer, Brigg, Hughes, Andrews, Robinson, S. Murphy, Mr. Iameson fCoachl GULF This year's golf team had a very successful season. In its first meet with Chestnut Hill, it emerged victorious, 6 to O. As Chestnut Hill was short on golfers, only four boys played in this match. Next on the schedule came Haverford High. This match proved to be the most exciting and colorful one of the entire season. It resulted in a tie score ot l3112 to 13112. The team's next match with Valley Forge was a little less exciting. Haverford won 6 to U. Swarthmore's Iunior Varsity, the only college team on the schedule, was defeated by a score of 6 to 3. In the last match of the season the golf team put in its claim to the Hall of Fame by being the first Haverford club- The season's line-up was as follows: Robinson, lg Voehringer, 2, Sam Murphy, swingers ever to score against Hill. The score was Hill 6112, Haverford 2112. 35 Bill Hughes, 4, Brigg, 5, Andrews, 6. The individual scoring is shown below. Robinson-l defeat, 4 wins. Voehringer-2 defeats, 3 wins. Murphy-5 wins.
