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 . S' 0 I9 39 1.3

'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. I Q 9 EDITOR'S NOTE: His morning trip to Haverford is fast, but his after- noon iourney to Gladwynne is even faster. For an evening of entertain- ment, get Bob to play the piano. 22

itll-JIQ YQ ' I9 9 WALTER THOMAS CHASE Walt Entered: 1934 NORTH CAROLINA Camera Club '36, '37, '38 Index Board One autumn in the early twenties a great calamity occurred. 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. Q 1 Q EDITORS NOTE: Walt spends most ol his evenings in the Oaks study hall and the rest of his spare time in the company oi a well-known Main Line figure. 24
