GQ3 nvifgfff Ev - xg X ' - -.x' f PREFACE The age stretching back from i936 has been one of chaos, turmoil, and experimentation. Europe has been one continuous seething kettle in which bubble after bubble has come to the top and burst. Art has gone through ten changes af form in as many years. Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism have come and gone. Harsh strident harmonies have supplanted the gentler music we have been accustomed to hear. The unintelligible repetitions of Gertrude Stein have been accepted as poetry. Yet, through all this change, there is much that has retained its familiar appearance. But one characteristic is outstanding in all this confusion-the work is experimentalg we cannot be the final judges of its worth. We have made this record bool: as a symbol af its age. You will find much in it that is strange, newg much that is familiar. On the whole this book is experimental, accept it as such, and suspend final judgment on it.

The Overbrook Senior High School was opened in September, l926 The building was still in an unfinished condition when the first contingent of students arrived Between the hammering and the sawing of the carpenters and the builders and the uproar of confused boys and girls running wild through the halls, chaos reigned But within a few days order was restored Before long school activif ties were begun. The first Student Association elections were heldg Lillian Reinhold was chosen as president of the organization and Jack Lillianfeld as vice-president. A school newspaper was launched under the guidance af Miss Andersen and immediately the Beacon became an integral part of school life.

The first issue of the Towers, the new school magazine, appeared and was immediately sold out. The editor-in-chief presented Mr Schoch with a copy on behalf of the staff, The problem of commencement gowns next came up for consideration, After much deliberotiont black gowns edged with orange was selected for the boys and white satin ones for the girls.

The Story of Philosophy becomes the best seIIer.l To provide some relief from the serious activities of the year, the Students' Association sponsored a doll contest which became an immediate success. The sofcalled big sister movement was initiated by means of which the seniors were to take the fledgling freshmen under their protectivei wings Thzs sudden hobnabbing with royalty amazed and terrified the timorous 9A's and 9B's Toward the end of the term a plan was drawn up for a senior honor society to be called Cum Laude. Later its name was changed to Sigma Delta. 1928 SUBMARINE DISASTERg NAVAL AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE SINK- ING OF THE SUBMARNE S-4 NOBILE'S FLIGHT TO THE ARCTIC FIGHTING IN CHINAg JAPANESE AND CHINESE CLASH REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION HELD JUNE 12 HOOVER BECOMES REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT When there are grey skies, I don't mind the grey skies, You make them blue, sonny boy, Friends may forsake me, Let them all forsake me, You'll pull me through, sonny boy. The new senior honor society began to functiong at the first induction, seventeen students were admitted to membership. Mr. Schoch sent out invitations to the parents of students so honored to attend the exercises, a custom that has been followed ever since. Commencement was held in February of this year and Overbrook High School sent forth its first group of young men and young women into the world. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION HELD JUNE 26 .

Nor were the athletic teams idle Joe Brown landed a berth on All-Public High Football Team The name of Overbrook was beginning to carry weight in athletic circles As the term drew to a close, the school received the news that Mr Parke Schoch was leaving to become one of the Associate Superintendents oi Schools lvlr Schoch was charged with the guidance of Secondary School Education in Philadelphia. With the passing of the l92Ofsl and the departure ot Mr. Schoch, one step in the development of this huge and intricate institution had been concluded A new generation was growing up. The hard boiled school of literature and of life was dying. Gone was the flapper. Gone was flaming youth. A more serious attitude toward life was displacing the spirit of futility and cynicism that had raged rampant in the drama and in literature. The new generation took the radio and the talkies for granted. lDo you remember the thrill of getting W.lZ on one tube and o bundle of twisted wires? Do you remember AI Jolson in the Jazz Singer when you actually heard for the first time the voice of an actor on the screen?l The depres- sion had turned people's attention to the more serious problems of life. lWhere was the man who had bought the set of books guaranteed to improve his mind by a few minutes easy study each day? One evening the boss had invited me to dinner. Someone mentioned Hemiptera. l leaned forward. I could tell them all about this large order of true insects having jointed proboscis . . . they all gathered about me. l told them about hemiplegia, hematite and hellicopter . . .? Where was Mr. Addison Sims of Seattle? . . . Where were the snowstorms of ticker tapei and the tons of torn telephone directories that greeted our heroes and distinguished visitors? Times were certainly changing. The l93O's had arrived. 1930 CHARLES E. HUGHES MADE CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT EX-CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT DIES GHANDI STARTS CIVIL DIS- OBEDIENCE S.S.

LOUIS CARDINALS Hordes of freshmen, the greenest on record, swept down on Overbrook. The Towers, meanwhile, was making radical changes in its form There were new and var'ed effects achieved Gnd the magazine became a prize winning publication. Soon after this, the school organization took another step forward to attaining a real student's government, the House of Delegates held its first meeting and uthen began to function as a definite body in school legislation, Overbrook, down to the veriest freshman, was delighted when the basketball team won the Tenth Annual Pennsylvania lnterscholastic Basketball Tournament by defeating Hagerstown, 25 to 20 ln spite of its preoccupation with athletics, the school did not neglect art. Students turned out in great numbers to hear a performance of the Gondoliers. ' 1931 THE A'S, AFTER WINNING THE AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT IN FINE STYLE, WENT ON TO LOSE THE WORLD SERIES TO THE ST.

At the beginning of the new term the Beacon held a poll. This was to determine the student attitude towards the national presidential candidates, The poll went over with a bang and Roosevelt received T50 votes more than Hoover. Many Overbrook students received scholarships. During all this time, Overbrook was building up a stronger scholastic reputation, and in city wide examinations, such as chemistry, Overbrook students stood out from the rest Another honor was paid Overbrook when the June Record Book shone in the National Contest. The book was among the best in the country. 1933 Don't know why, There's no sun up in the sky, Stormy Weather Since my man and I ain't together CALVIN COOLIDGE DIES HITLER MADE CHANCELLOR IN GERMANY ASSASSIN SHOOTS AT PRESIDENT-ELECT ROOSEVELTg KILLS MAYOR OF CHICAGO ROOSEVELT INAUGURATED BANK HOLIDAY DECLARED FOR WHOLE COUNTRY AS INVESTORS STARTED RUNS ON THE BANKS AKRON DISASTER5 DIRIGIBLE CRASHES INTO SEA OFF JERSEY COAST MICHIGAN FIRST STATE FOR REPEAL BONUS SEEKERS MARCH AGAIN 18TH AMENDMENT REPEALED Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, the big bad Wolf, the big bad wolf, tra-la-la-la-la.

Dr Smith presented the school with four new paintings that were hung in the corridors Over- brook's gallery of pictures was increasing by leaps and bounds lt was during this year that the Band was organized Mr Shortz was the first band master and he organized a band well worth the honor of Overbrook. lt was now also that Dr. O'Brien turned the coaching reins of the football team into Mr Weiler's hands The Doctor, after years and years of successful coaching at Central and Over- brook, felt that younger men should be given opportunities Again Overbrook was represented in contests with honor. The Beacon and Towers came out with excellent records from the State Press contest, 1934 DILLINGER CAPTURED: MAKES ESCAPE WITH WOODEN PISTOL KING ALBERT OF BELGIUM KILLED WHILE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN INSULL CAPTURED NEAR GREECEg EMBEZZLER BROUGHT HOME FOR TRIAL PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE PROCLAIMED DROUGHT IN WEST CHICAGO WORLD FAIR REOPENED GENERAL STRIKE ON WESTERN COASTg SAN FRANCISCO WALKS OUT EN MASSE I Walk along the streets of sorrow The boulevard of broken dreams.

The school organization was still progressing, The first Student's Association dance was held with amazing success. There were combined Athletic Association dances and Overbrook teams made progress in the world of sports. The golf, tennis, and track championships' went to Oferbrook. Ai whole decade had passed and now Overbrook is ra huge home for several thousand students.

ANlTA ABRAHAM 5409 wynnefield avenue NITA is one of the glamorous girls who looks forward to life behind the footlights. while in overbrook she has taken leading roles in all the outstanding productions, horse- back riding and dancing are the delights of her golden moments after rehearsals.

RUTH ALLEN 5lOl stiles street when RUTH starts teaching at a nursery school, we'll wager that the little children will learn modern nursery rhymes, cause teacher RUTH has a real knack of writing poetry, perhaps she will dedicate her more mature and really fine work to o. h. s. and the midnite oil club, it's o simple suggestion, RUTH .

At the Brookline Country Club, the Senior Prom brought to a climax the social life of the class of June, '36, Soft music, startling music, like the Waltz You Saved For Me and Twelfth Street Rag, emanated from the strings and winds of Jan Savitt's Tophatters, New and old tunes were wafted through the pleasant air. Dinah and Welcome Stranger each found its place in the hearts of the swerving couples Soft gowns, Startling gowns, like summer flowers shone forth in all their beauty Pale yellows, grassy greens, blooming punks snowy whites, and raving scarlets glided and pirouet- tcd gracefully, Visions of loveliness in blue, lavender and peach mingled in an river changing pattern Fragrant flowers were combined into manyecolored corsages There was the pervading perfume of the gardenia, delicate scent of the swect pea, the poignant scent of roses. Their lovee liness only made greater the charm ol demoiselles. Yes, there was romance, Solt chatter produced a vibrant accompaniment to the rhythmic swells of the orchestra Laughter from parted lips, warm glances from shining eyes, and intri- cate movements trom sway- ing bodies patterned theme selves into rosy moments of happiness, Magical shadows and the sweet scent of the evening lured many of the couples onto the terrace under the stars. The Great Dipper dipped more proudly than ever on the scene of the June, '36 Prom. The maestro, Jan Savitt, waved his baton in amiable and expert fashion, brinaf ina forth syncopated sounds, familiar and well liked, lan Savitt, who has not alwavs been leader of a jazz band, was at one time a violinist in the Philadelphia Orches- tra His initiative led him to become leader of this popular Swing band which broadcasts over two net- works, the National Broad- casting Company, and the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem under the names Top- hatters, Jan Savittfs band, and the Swing Band. l-lis noteworthy orchestral ar- rangements appealed to the dancers, and he generously played the numerous re- quests for popular selections. The Prom Committee which consisted of Netta lampleri and Be r n a rd Zweighaft, cofchairmen, and Jerry Magen, Donald Mumma, Elsie Massey, Wtl- liam Green, and Florence Maguire gave us a memor' able evening, But without the combined effort of our beloved sponsor, Mr, Schoch, the members of the faculty, and our own classmates, we could not have attained such success, The Prom was an occasion that will not soon be forgotten by those Dverbrookites of June, '36, 1 'ii Commencement Program Swedish Coronotion Morch ...................... ..........

EW PEB T08 Sept., i926-the first issue of the Bea- con, weekly newspaper of the newly opened Overbrook High School, has just appeared. The paper is published by selected students of English in the up- per classes under the sponsorship of Miss Mary J. Andersen, former English in- structor at West Philadelphia High School. Miss Andersen, formerly head of a magazine at West Philadelphia, had chosen most of her staff while still at the latter school. The newspaper is put out in connection with the regular llB English work and is considered as the composition work of the students, The first issue is a four page edition which is to appear weekly, An inter- esting feature in this issue is an article by Mr. Parke Schoch, the Principal of Overbrook, on What Makes a School, which starts cn absorbing series of ar- ticles to be continued in future Beacons. The Overbrook Beacon has been re- placed during succeeding issues by sev- eral interesting farcical examples of jour- nalistic humor. The Ballyhoo and Jinx editions of the Overbrook Bacon, as it is punningly renamed, are riotous ex- amples of the paper written by the regu- lar staff. These papers have taken the place of several regular issues, and have The Overbrook High School Beacon has behind it an enviable record. Ths news- paper has put out consistently good issues year after year, but a jinx seems to be working. The Beacon has seldom won better than second award in a contest. ln i934 and l935, in the contest of the National Press Association, this paper March, i936-this term at Overbrook the phenomenal rise of Beacon's sales, is certainly an indication of the further improvement of the paper and the rise of its prestige among the student body The Beacon sales have risen about 25 DEVELOPMENT startled the school with their strange and fantastic headlines, One article even brings hurried phone calls from Overbrook students. The Bacon has printed a humourous story about a rob- bery of the school bank, and these stu- dents are desirous of finding out whether they can withdraw their deposits These issues are immensely popular w.th the student body and the sales of the newspaper show a marked increase. February, i935-the Overbrook High School Beacon has made a definite stride in its development because of the radical change made in the size of this news- paper. The new size has excited the enthusiasm of the students who are de- termined to keep their paper going The six page Beacon has been backed by previous editors over a long period of time. Jacob Schmookler, Editor-in-Chief of th's term's staff ,has finally pushed the deal across. The size of each page of the news- paper, a fortnightly publication, is not changed with the advent of the six-page edition. The Beacon has had a worthy and important position in school affairs since i926 lt has led in the attempt to unite PBIJGBESS came in second both times. This is in- deed a creditable record. The State Press Association has also awarded the Beacon a second place, Recently, in l935, a sports story, writ- ten by Harry Harris, won the first place award in a Temple University contest. DISTRIBUTION per cent this term, and the ads have risen about 30 per cent. These figures are now doubling the amount of profits taken in by the business staffs, Mr. Devins, financial sponsor of the the school and create that greatly de- sired obiective, school spirit. The Beacon has assumed a unique and powerful position in the school. The stu- dents always look forward to the new editions of the paper and feel that it is a most necessary organ to acquaint them with what is going an in school life. The Beacon accomplishes something without which the entire school organiza- tion would be weakened, It unites the lowly Freshman with the high Senior, It creates a feeling cf school spirit by arousing interest in the students and making them see the important things about school life which might otherwise have escaped their notice, to their own detriment, The sports section of the Beacon in particular has come to mean some- thing important to the Overbrook stu- dents. The position of the athletic teams in relation to those of other schools always arauses interest, particularly if the standings of the Overbrook teams are high. The Beacon is a great factor in creating a strong school pride, Thus through the school newspaper, the Beacon, the honor and glory attached to the name Overbrook are crystalized. The Beacon in its ten years of existence has shown a continuous growth. Through the years with every new staff, new goals have been set up and each class has con- tributed in some measure to its progress. We wish to extend our best wishes that its growth will extend. paper, says, The upward trend of Bea- con sales is a barometer of local busi- ness conditions. Mr. Devins' statement is backed by figures, and the high aver- cge of 2,300 sales per issue is certainly proof.

Over- brook to have Athletic Field for l928. Chess Team Defeats Penn Fresh Quin- tet Swimming Pool to be located in Play Room -l-low we have advanced! Still what we are writing today will seem ingenuous to the Record Staff of l946. Athletics in our school began with highly competitive intramural sports. This competition between the many books and various classes stimulated sportsmanship and afforded an opportunity for develop- ment of team material. More school spirit was displayed then th:n now. Ath- letically-minded boys built soccer goals, practiced football upon their own ac- cord, and supported their class basket- ball teams cs both players and rooters. Mr. Kistenmacher launched his first soc- cer team, which was a good one, and ended the season with three victories and one defeat, The first football team, although not well organized, succeeded in trouncing Radnor and Camden High Basketball, tennis, and golf teams were next started Coach Schrieber's track tecm climaxed the '27 season by wn- ning the Freshman and Junior mile titles. The Freshman track team captured the Penn Relays. The year '28 to '29 brought new devel- opments in Overbrook's sports. Swim- ming and cross-country teams were formed, and the newly organized foot- ball ancl basketball teams entered public- high competition. A new school seldom performs well. The many defeats suf- fered by the l-lilltoppers that year proved Overbrook no exception. The year l93O will remain long in Mr Weiler's memory for it marked the ac- quisition of our first basketball trophy. The University of Pennsylvania cup was captured by an undefeated Overbrook quintet, who set a record of twenty-five consecutive victories, and stood by to coach the second team to a public-high championship. The basketball team greatly outshone the gridmen, who suf- fered many defeats. lndividual honors were given to Joe Brown as all public high choice and to l-larry Shapiro. The netmen, notably backed by Jules Axelrod and Captain Aritsky, added to our trophy case by winning both the lnteracademic and Interscholastic championships at the close of their spring season, and re- ce.v.ng the desired Manheim tennis cup. Coach Kistenmacher's baseball team was able to hit in those days, and won many decisive victories Our reputation as basketball players was made more permanent during the '33- '3l season. The team of that year cap- tained by Lau Fox, captured the Public l-ligh title once more, and insured our permanent possession of the trophy pre- sented us by The Dutch Company. The performances of Lou Fox, Wasser- man, and Cliff Calvert were considered the best ever witnessed within the Over- brook gym During this celebrated year, Todd began his career as an Overbrook cross-country and track man H.s ef- forts usually afforded him first place, greatly adding the scores of a compara- tively poor track team. The basketball players at '32 suffered a relapse. The team, composed of 0F SPIIRT many able courtmen including Russ Her- man and Bobb Keehn, ended a iinx sea- son in the cellar, All the Hilltopper sportsmen rendered good service this year, The swimming and tennis teams captured second places, while the newly-established gym team did well for novices. Pat Napolitano, a muscleman of the gym team of that year received nztionol recogn.tion as a weight lifter. Mr. Grigson started his duties as track mentor by coachng our cindermen to fourth place The baseball team of '32 com- pleted its season losing three and winning three. Overbrook swimmers displayed their excellence in l933, when Claude Davis won the d.ving championship and Dan t-logon started his career by winning the Simon Trophy at the Penn A. C. Their efforts helped to develop a group of phenomenal winners for the following year Our courtmen ended their season n a triple tie to annex our th rd basket- ball ch-mpionship The tennis team, composed of Perchenock, Axelrod, Fahrer, Lcbis, Yocum, and Reed, secured the public-hgh championship for Overbrook's second title Todd, of cross-country fame, continued h:s running to set a new mile III TIIR 0F SPIIRT record, The swimmers, backed by Sa- bol and l-logon, captured the city cham- pionship and took fourth place in national competition. This team was known throughout the city for its excellence, and the individual performances of Sabol and l-logan still bring credit to Over- brook. The '34-'35 season added another basketball title to Overbrook's list, We remember the long shots of Bobby Keehn and the corner shots of Eddy Holland. The team went along admirably through the season until they finished, tie with Southern. This championship was set- tled by a play-off, during which Lefty Zeises pivoted and sank the winning two pointer we shall long remember. This sensational game at the Palestra, and how Rely-poly Zeises was treated as a hero for months afterwards. The Orange and Black baseball and tennis teams, both placed second this year, The slug- gers of '35 won the division B champion- ship and needed only to defeat Olney to annex the city title. The pitching of Dick Carter proved too much for the l-lilltoppers, and this IO-l setback forced us to be content with the number two position. The tennis team lost its cham- pionship because of a last-minute defeat by Central. Ivlr, Grigson discovered Mor- gan in the '35 novice track meet, and since that time he never lost the mile race. We remember Sullivan for his lOO yard dashes and Herman l-land for his high scores, The teams of our graduating years are among the best ever to represent the Orange and Black. Unfortunately, we still lack a football championship, but at the time of this printing, we have annexed the golf championship, secured individual honors in diving and gym meets, rate first in tennis, possess second position in the baseball league, and hope to be track champions. Our most earnest desire is that in the future, Overbrook may annex a football championship, in addition to maintaining the already established excellence in all other athletic activities.

One look at its captain, Irv Axelrod, and we would attribute this breach of procedure to laginess. Upon re- viewing excuses, we find Hackett iust didn't show up, Davidson was too modest, Tutleman didn't have a comb, while Sarshik End Miller devoted the necessary time to much-needed prac- tice. This group of netmen, aided by the excuse-slips of See Me H. Weiner manager, always managed to appear at the scheduled matches, in spite of their apathy for studio sit- tings. The team completed its sea- son with a practically unblemished record, losing only one game to West Philly. Our decisive trouncing of this dreaded enemy at the play-off resulted in our securing the tennis cup once more for the greater glory of Overbrook's trophy case. The tennis season this year was particularly thrilling, and competition' was very close between Overbrook. West Philly, and Germantown. The close race started when the Hilltop- pers defeated Germantown, and con- tinued by vanquishing Frankford. These defeats gave us a two-point lead in the league, but two gruelling X TEN n matches still remained to 'be played. The first of these was a tight en- counter with Central. Only two points could be dropped. We came through under pressure and emerged ' - victors, with the score.3-2. This victory would tie us for the cham- pionship, if we could shut out Olney, our next competitor. West 'Philadel- phians appeared in hordes to cheer for our opponents, but to no avail. Our determined racquet wielders won 5-0. The resulting tie was settled by 0 play-off, A large delega.tion came to watch Overbrook meet the team which had defeated it earlier in the season. Our rivals might match our enthusiasm, but they could not match that invincible fighting spirit of the Hilltoppers. The result was that our netmen defeated the West Philadel- phia High School team 5-Og thus earning split O's for themselves, and another cup for Overbrook. Special cheers should be given to Mr. Earle, who, despite his recent illness, devoted so much time and energy to coaching the team, to Stanley Tutleman, the only unde- feated member of the team, and to Captain Axelrod for the brilliant bat- tle he gave lzzy'Bellis. ii-,v ., -,Q-4'-J. , .,4- . .., Li.: ..

The school was organized. Slowly but surely, order was brought out of chaos. The Students Association was formed There was clamor for an athletic organization. Then, cn November l5, l926, the first plans for a Girls' Athletic Association were formed Under the guidance of Miss Allen as directress, and Miss Brooks as treasurer, the organizae tion known as the Girls' Athletic Association of Overbrook l-lzgh School was formed Plans were prom- ulgated for the admin strae tion The president was to be elected from the l2A girls for the follow.ng year. The vice-president came from the llB's. lt was de- cided that each book should have one representative in the A, A. organizaton This was the skeleton of the new group, Dues were col- lected From then on it was easy A charter was secured Then all of the athletic clubs were formed. Leaders' came first Monday was se- lected as the day for the meetings Then came the swimming club, Sl75 was charged for pool privileges, Sl OO for club fees Novem- ber 22, l926 was the date of the first swim, The next issue of the Beacon waxed enthusiastic about it Each week brought some- thing new, This week of November 30 brought the first basketball enthusiasts, Naturally there had to be some basketball teams Regulations were carefully formulated. Practices were held for weeks at a time Then the first teams wee chosen Excitement ran like wild fire through the ranks of the basketball girls lnterclass games were played. Another club was formed -this time the hiking club There were great reports of the success of the first hikes. Then the Dancing Club January the girls of the club held the first dance Boys came as guests lt was a huge triumph Events followed each other in auick succession First basketball tournaments Vic- torious llB's Firstgand last - interscholastic meet with the girls of West Phila- delphia l-ligh lt rained and the meet was postponed And so the story runs Much must be omitted. The little details of how the association grew till it be- came the power it is today Each succeeding adminstra- tion added something-gave a new impetus to its mo' mentum The first dances were held-no boys Butall that was changed last year For the first time boys were admitted ta one of the dances This year under the capable leadershzp of Elea-' nor Longacre, a new pres cedent was established For the last dance, the girls could decide whether they wanted guests Although we have left, the A A will go on its way gathering strength and endurance. Back in l926, the Overbrook Girls' Athletic Association was in its infancy. After the various forms had been gone through and the charter had been granted, the subsidiary body first to be organized by the group was the Leaders' Club. Leaders' Club is precisely what its name implies, for the club is not open to every girl. The members must have G or E in Physical Education before they are admitted. But when they are, they are in a select group. The exercises and games enioyed in Leaders' Club are all those which the members will have in class but they know them ahead of time. When they are thoroughly proficient in one, they pra- gress to the next, Then, in class, when they have that exercise they are Lead- ers and as such, demonstrate to the others. Thus you have the Leaders' Club, ANCING x ,,sY,,,- , ,M LEADERS' CL B The Girls' Dancing Club is so popular that it is divided into two groups-the Beginners' Group and the Advanced Group. The Beginners' group consists of those girls who have always been interested in dancing, but have never given any in- tensive study to it. They perhaps have taken a few lessons, or may know only what they have learned in class. The girls try out at the beginning of the term. Some are admitted. By the end of the term, after intensive study in fundamentals, they are ready for a test. The few passing the test are admitted to the advanced group. The advanced girls are the cream of the school's dancing ladies. Their work, of course, is much more intricate and difficult. lt is this group which per- forms for the assemblies in lovely dances. The l2B girls' basketball team was victorious in its first game this term but lost the second On Wed- nesday, March 4, the l2B girls conquered the llA's by a score of 54-Zl, after an energetic game They, in turn, were vanquished by the llB's on Wednesday, March ll, with a score of 37-20 favor the lower class. The Seniors fought hard but because of prevous ill- nesses of forwards, Eva Di Gammarino and Edith Ter- zano, the whole team did not feel up to par They started off by winning but could not keep up the pace. The l2B team consisted of Edith Terzono, manager, Eva Di Garnmarino and Edith Terzano who played for- wards, Mary Kelly, the lump center, Mildred Smith, the side center, Betty Goldberg and Mildred Norge, the IRL guards, Betty Hoover, the forward sub' Eleanor Long- acre and Mildred Meyer the center subs, and Hilda Jackson, the guard sub. On the Wednesday March 4 games, the l2B's beat the llA's, while the l2A's were victorious over their opponents, the llB's Their score was 25-I3 A score of 37-20 favored the llB girls in their game against the l2B's on the March ll games The l2A girls were again victorious this time, winning from the llA's a score of 35-4, Mar- garet Smith was the man- ager of the l2A's, Olga Kula occupied that position in the llB team and Ethel Schultz managed the llA girls.

Each week the two teams, spurred on by friendly competition, would compete in the various events. As one girl on either team emerged victorious in any given contest, she, in that way, piled up the IRL 9 points for her own team, Finally, the last contest was held. The two teams met at the Y. M. C, A at 52nd and San- som Street. After the titanic struggle, the Black Team emerged victorious, The final score was 765 points for the Black team as against 738 points for the Orange team. The Beginners' group had to do the Jelly-fish float, for time, the scull swim for distance, the peanut scramble and the wheelbarrow race. ln this contest the Orange team came off the win- ners with 38 points, the Black with l6 points. The Intermediate swimmers had to swim keeping a newspaper dry. To do the circle float, the peanut scramble, the potato relay and to dive, swim a bit, touch the rope and return, Again the Orange team won, 22 to 9. The Swimmers' group performed a balloon race, swam one length on their backs reading a news- paper, the circle float, the flag and basketball WIMM relay. For the third time the Orange team won, 26-l9. The life-savers did the underwater-approach, being scored for form and speed, the tired-swim- mer-carry for the same qualifications, Then they did the plate pick-up, and under serious handi- caps, the pajamo relay, The Black team emerged on top with a score of 34 to l4 for the Orange. As to the varsity, they competed in the medley, the varsity swim-the breast stroke and crawl, the Japanese breast stroke and the somersault. Again the Blacks won 34 to 8 points of the Orange. At the end of the meet, Dr. O'Brien presented the Senior Life-saving pin and emblem to Mar- garet Smith. Junior awards were also given to l-lelen Swift, Helen Bonsall, Jane Mervine, Ruth Endriss and Phyliss Fleming. Q RW- xii' Ag N- vzlirfa. K, Ififs N X Q fr' 5 uf , 5 W, X fx 1 A .s K' R' .
