Grade VI11 II aaa The Garnet and White Alma Mater You lit the candles of theseJSenior minds When first they came within your halls of fame. You showed the many benefits to seek; You taught us all that life is just a game. You yielded all the treasures of a friend When first we asked you for a helping hand. Advice you gave, and golden will it prove: “Just plant your footprints in substantial sand.” Oh, Alma Mater dear, those lessons taught Will stay as precepts in the shoals of time; The friends you made, the fun that we all had Will ever linger in memories sublime. When we begin our manv-pathed lives. Adventures that we face will all be new. Then, Alma Mater dear, with jubilant hearts We’ll drink an everlasting toast to you. Dorothy La Rose, ’32. Dora Evans, ’32. The Garnet and White A A A 3 Thoughts at Graduation Time Comrades, pour the wine tonight, For the parting is with dawn. INSTEAD of going forth to battle we are going forth into a new world—one in which we shall no longer have the protection of our beloved Alma Mater. I often wonder how we are going to conduct ourselves at the dawn of our new life. Shall we remember the lessons that have been taught us or shall we allow them to fall into oblivion? Shall we climb to the top of the ladder of success, or shall we fall by the wayside and be trampled upon by those eager to forge ahead? These are questions that only time can answer. Each of us will choose a different path of life, but whether our choice is wise or unwise, if we strive to do our best we can climb to the top of our particular ladder. Some of us will attain fame and world renown; some will attain success but not fame; some will fall and never rise; some will fall and rise to greater heights. It is not whether the public thinks we are successful, but whether our own souls think we are. Our own conscience is our severest critic—one whose advice it is always wise to follow. Not all of us can become successful. Not all can attain fame. Nature has many ways of sidetracking us from our original paths. She puts many obstacles and temptations in our way. The important question, therefore, is: Have we enough perseverance and strength to surmount these obstacles and follow the straight path? We cannot alter Nature, but we can model her course if we wish to. We have been taught many valuable lessons to help us keep to the straight path if we only take heed of them. We owe our Alma Mater a debt that can never be repaid; yet we can help her by preserving her name through our deeds, words, and thoughts. Are we going to drag that name in the dust, or are we going to emblazon it on our banner and raise it on high for all the world to see? She is indeed worthy of any honor we can pay her. And now we must say farewell to our Alma Mater who has long had us under her protecting wing. Sadly we think of the days when we shall no longer have that fostering care; but gladly do we turn our faces to the future, serene and confident in the knowledge that we have been well-prepared to face and cope with whatever may lie before us. Let us: Give to the world the best we have, And the best will come back to us. Thelma G. Keener, ’32. FAREWELL Farewell to thee! W hose everlasting love hath harbored us for years— Whose walls have sheltered all our hopes and fears. Nor ever hath betrayed our trust in thee. We leave thee now. Our hearts and minds instilled with love and honor. We pray God bless the treasured mo- ments spent with thee, Nor ever let the march of time erase thee from our memory. Farewell! Frances Mathews, ’32. 4 A A a The Garnet and White “Houses Built Without Hands For Your Soul to Live In ” THERE is a spirit reigning today where little thought is placed on what lies behind the blank face with set smile and restless eyes. Their owner seems forever seeking something new to do, someplace new to go. Not sufficient unto himself, dreading to be left alone, he must always be in a crowd and have some new entertainment at hand to supply his ever-hungry brain, in order to stifle the pitiful cry of a starved little soul of whose nourishment he has no knowledge. The trouble is he cannot go through life keeping up the same pitch of excite- ment. He must some day relax, sometime sit alone with himself, and then he will find himself poor and barren company. He’ll have nothing within him to fall back on. What little spark of that something he once had will have died, long since neglected and forgotten. He never had time to think about books, let alone read them; to sit and day-dream was to him boring—never storing up visions and illusions of intangible things in the little crevices of his mind for future thought and consideration; he never knew what peace and comfort could be derived just from sitting still and looking at a tree, from close contact with and knowledge of Nature; he had never considered his friends as partners in the formation of a fellowship, and so they had given him nothing of themselves; nor had he ever thought or considered it necessary to supply them with comradeship and sympathy. Thus he lives through a wretched existence, and life ends in despair. What a pitiful picture! And yet there are many of us who do not realize what we lack, or, if we do, assume an air of bored indifference whenever the subject is discussed. If we should heed the words of John Ruskin, now, and build accord- ingly, we would someday be spared much suffering and misery— “Make yourself nests of pleasant thoughts, bright fancies, faithful sayings; treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb nor poverty take away from you—houses built without hands for your soul to live in.” Frances Mathews, '32. AT A TO OUR SCHOOL Oh, school, thy rays of virtue, honor, right Have blazoned paths of purest light within our souls. Long years we worked and strove with greatest might To reach the object of each heart, the highest goal. And now, dear school, we leave with sad- dened hearts To carry on and on blest virtue’s name. Thy deeds are done, but ours—just new begun; With firm and certain step and steadfast aim We all must strive to live the lessons thou hast taught. For thee, dear school, who hast not yearned and hoped for naught. TlLLIE SHENEiMAN, ’32. The Garnet and White a a a d The End of a Perfect Day Out of Eternity This new day was born; Into Eternity At night will return. MOST of us were vaguely conscious that our entrance into high school was the dawn of a new day in our life. Like most sun-rises it was a hazy one. Mist adds beauty to the morning—the sparkling of the dew, the redness of the sun, the freshness of everything; but, being scarcely awake, we failed to catch the beauty and significance of that wonderful dawn. It passed quietly into history. Not until the sun was high in the sky did we recall its en- trance and look around us and see the serenity of our pleasant surroundings. We saw brilliance on all sides of us. The light was good. We played and worked under its warmth, growing and learning. Its lessons were pleasant, its hardships few and mild. We became part of its glowing brilliance. Its influence was felt, pure and true, and we flourished as the trees and the birds in the summer. It was really, we acknowledged, a most delightful day. Then, as the sun began to sink in the west, its beauty became even more in- tense. We realized that the happiest days of our life were drawing to a close. If only that radiance could endure! If our whole life could be nothing but a beautiful sunset. The horizon is broad, and our many friends stand out in bold outline. The vital rays of the sun, though present all the day, are just becoming visible, and we see our many lessons as broad highways to glory. Those rays, we know, are strengthening us for the morrow. Their passing is an impressive sight which leaves a feeling of sadness, a sense of having lost a dear friend. The last ray of light falls below the earth. Darkness brings a period of rest and reminiscense. The stars appear as reminders of our friends and lessons. Then realization that this is only a pause between two days gives rise to thoughts of ex- pectation. We see the stars now as guiding lights on the road to success. They recall our teachings of the day and we feel confident of our preparation for following days. We shall strive to prove that those lessons have not been lost upon us. Here hath been dawning Another new day Think, wilt thou let it Slip useless away. Sherman Kent, '32. ▲ VA LOOKING FORWARD Long shadows linger on the wall As purple tints adorn the sky; Oh! now, I hear the swallows call, And we must part, must say good-bye. Yet parting, moving as one must, We feel no tears, no grief, no fears, For in our hearts there lies a trust— A bond made strong by joyful years. Together we did learn to live, To do our best, to fight the wrong. We found that they succeed who give. Life is a chorus; each has his song. So let us leave on dancing toe, With faces upturned to the sky. Remembering as we gladly go— In each bare field some riches lie. Bayard Rustin, ’32. Senior Class Officers GEORGE R.

West Ches-ter High,_________ The Gar - net and the Whitel Copyright 1928 by Sam Barber Before Growing Up The Garnet and White 35 The History of the Class of 1932 The First Year PASSING over the records of the Senior Class during the years of '30, '31. and '32, all must feel that we have been highly creditable to West Chester High School. One might call the history of the Class of 1932 a chronicle of honest toil; it is evidence of a period of peace, harmony, and industry. On a sunny September day, just three years ago, all we sophomores found our- selves walking into the West Chester High School, ready to begin our new life. We gave each other the “once over”, and on our way home in the afternoon discussed the character of our future classmates. One little girl with a round, serious face and big blue eyes, we decided, would be too angelic and studious for any good use; she turned out to be (he class laugh-maker. A tall, skinny boy, who was cutting capers the whole first day, we condemned as too frivolous; and he walked off at the end of the first year with one of the highest reports in the class. As the days went bv, however, we grew to know and like the new school life more and more. In the first place, there was the novelty of it—everything different. Then we were now high school pupils, who could afford to look down supericliously on all grammar school kids.” Beside this, we changed teachers every forty-five minutes! Our first experience as an organized class came soon, for politics started; and (he election of class officers was on. John Cessna was chosen for our presi- dent; Dorothy Sill, vice-president; Tillie Sheneman, secretary; and Barney Hool, treasurer. 'I he days began to grow cooler. We took a firm grip on our work. The novel- ty of high school life wore off a little, and I don t think any of us were sorry when Christmas came, bringing the Christmas holidays. Returning from our vacation, we got down to work. Frances Mathews took first prize tor the sophomore essay, while Elizabeth Robbins followed with (he second prize. The sophomore representatives on the Co-operative council were: John Taylor, Frances Mathews, Dorothy Sill, Doro- thy Baker, and Martha Hubbard, while Raeder Huey represented us on the Executive Committee of the General Association. Summer seemed to come all of a sud- den. We grew weary of gym suits and work. Tests poured down on our defense- less heads; and in no time June had come, bringing with it our last day of school until the next September. The Second Year The second year found us back again in the old W. C. H. S., sunburned, happy, ready to start in on the work with new vim. Some of us had shot up like mush- rooms in the summer; while others came back worrying over extra pounds or freckles gained; but, with a few excep- tions, all seemed happy and glad to get back. Gone was our sophomore shyness. We were now as sophisticated as the best of them. Our J unior year turned out to be quite an eventful one, with John Faylor, president; Mary Robertson, vice-presi- dent; Frances Mathews, secretary; and Melvin Talley, treasurer. All honors seemed to fall our way, not by luck, but because of our fine ability to produce good results. Bayard Rustin and John Cessna won the only two prizes given for the boys' speaking After Growing Up The Garnet and White a a 37 contest. Tillie Sheneman won our honors for our class by her ability to spell. Two juniors, David Hunter and Dorothy Sill represented West Chester High School in the League of Nations contest. Bayard Rustin, again proved to be a worthy member of the junior class by winning the Gorgas essay cont- est. The Junior Essay contest was won by Bayard Rustin, first place; and Sher- man Kent, second place. During that year we were represented in Co-operative Council by John Cessna, Mary Harman, Tillie Sheneman, and Frances Mathews. Esther Preston vouched for us in the General Association. We had the honor of winning every- thing in the sport line:—our boys won the class basketball championship, with Roosevelt Polite, captain; and the girls won the class basketball championship, with Ruth Pyle, captain. Our boys and girls also won the inter-class track meet. Indeed, we are quite proud of our junior year. During this year we were glad to re- ceive our class rings as emblems of our membership in W. C. H. S. The year ended happily and everyone looked forward to a prosperous senior year. The Last Year The work of the Senior class is always mingled with outside interests, and this has been so in our case. However, the first thing we did was to elect our class officers: George Matthews was chosen as president; Ann Macdonald, secretary; Martha Hubbard, vice-president; and Jack Ivins, treasurer. Raeder Huey at- tends the Executive Committee for the Seniors. In the Co-operative council our int- erests have been taken care of by Dora Evans, Dorothy Sill, Bayard Rustin, Doyle Jarrett, and Roosevelt Polite. It may be said that the ’32’s have been in W. C. H. S. during a period of transi- tion. The new athletic field has been annexed and is a decided asset. Our band members have been equipped with new uniforms. The class is pleased to have within its ranks experts in music—Frances Math- ews, Mary Robertson and Bayard Rus- tin; experts in sports—John Cessna, Raeder Huey, Dora Evans, and Dorothy Sill; and experts in the dramatic field— Roosevelt Polite, Frances Mathews, Em- ma Carville, Joe Worrell and Welton Arnold. No record is complete which portrays the bright side alone. Moments of sad- ness are inevitable. Death has twice entered our ranks; once to claim our well-known and popular classmate, Flor- ence Weiss; and later to claim Miss Sara C. Evans, librarian, who had won the respect and the friendship of all with whom she came into contact. Miss Evans’ name is mentioned only in terms which disclose the high esteem in which she was held by the Class of '32. During this year several things have happened that have brought honor to our name and commendable pride to our hearts. In the Girls Speaking Contest, Kate Bleecker won second place.. The Garnet and White, our high school magazine, under the able leadership of the Editor-in-Chief, Frances Mathews, has upheld its high standard. Both our boys’ and our girls’ class basketball teams were again champions. Members of our class helped very materially in making this a “banner year” in ath- letics for W. C. H. S. We shall always remember our Championship Varsity Football, Basketball, Track and Relay teams. Furthermore, we have not been lacking in originality; our Class Gift, a garnet and white mantel and a gavel, accompanied by the appropriate cere- mony of turning over Senior rights and --------------.... . v4 i tiros'. The Garnet and White A 39 A responsibilities to the Junior, has placed the Last assembly of the Senior class” upon a dignified and durable foundation. Competition for honors in the Senior Essay Contest was especially keen this year, and the judges commended the efforts of the class. First place was awarded to Frances Mathews; second place to Tillie Sheneman. Our class has also set a new record in the number of our Honor Speakers at the Commencement Exercises: Dora Evans, Beryl Kouba, Tillie Sheneman, John Cessna, Sherman Kent, and Bayard Rustin. Among our social activities of the year we must not forget our two school parties, our Senior-Junior dance, our successf ul Senior Tea for our parents and teachers, our delightful trip to Phila- delphia to see Otis Skinner and Maude Adams in 'The Merchant of Venice, and, last, but by no means least, our joyful Baby Day” antics. The participation of our chorus and our orchestra in the Chester County Music Festival and of our Chorus in the Temple University Music Festival brought us social as well as musical benefit and pleasure. And now the time has truly come, and our last few days of High School life are slipping by all too quickly. Soon we shall be scattered in all directions; and we do not know, in these troubled times, what the days will bring forth, We do know, however, that fortified with the splendid education received in these halls and imbued with the prin- ciples of earnestness, concentration, hon- or, and service, that have been inculcat- ed in us, we shall go forth capable of surmounting every difficulty and of making West Chester proud of the class of 1932. M ARTHA Hu BBARP, ’32. Notes From A Travelogue AT last my dream was to l e realized! I was to have my long- desired trip to the Rivera and to Italy. After spending four years com- pleting my education, I had gradually risen to the elevated position of private secretary to none other than George Matthews, president of the Amalga- mated Grapefruit Company of Phila- delphia. He seems to retain his ability to capture all the presidencies in sight. I had finally managed to save enough money to take myself on a trip. On Friday afternoon I bade George good- bye and went home to finish some last- minute packing. I decided to go out to the farm for the night and to run over to W est Chester for a look around before I left. In spite of the fact that I was so near to Wrest Chester all the time, I had not been there for nearly fifteen years. I took the train from Broad Street Suburban Station. Soon after we had pulled out, I heard a voice at my side say, Ticket, please.” I looked up, and whom should I behold but Welton Ar- nold. Well we had a long talk about dear old W. C. H. S. and just about everything connected with it. Finally upon reaching Paoli we were forced to say good-bye, and I proceeded on my way home. The next morning I made my way to West Chester. I decided to go first to the High School and see how everything looked after so many years. Upon entering the building I went directly to the principal s office. There to my great astonishment I met Morris Wickersham in the role of principal. Well, we sat down for a long chat and during that half hour I learned some verv interesting % ■ w (♦«•r jh CiuiJR , i� w r W m (•� � « l� C CUM L K- J Vsforc ‘ tWj WrCt . C.fh 1fX«Hntr-vi- . - V 1 ■YW • t r V fvfc ‘ The Garnet and White AAA facts. “Wickv” told me that Helen Rittenhouse was proving her great skill as a woman of the world by holding the position of Burgess of West Chester and that Dorothy Sill had been elevated to the position of Chief of Police. Helen had a complete corps of female associates and assistants including Esther Preston and Evelyn Ruth under her. I also learn- ed that David Hunter held the double duty of proprietor of the Warner Theatre and chief soda-jerker at the Grill. Norman and Melvin Talley were at the heat! of a new firm called “Tal- ley, Talley and Company” that special- ized in selling babies' accessories. Dora Evans was editor-in-chief of the “Local” with Alae Coldren, Emeline Dunkel- berger, and Ann Alacdonald acting as her trusty reporters who were known the county over for being able to “get news what was news.” I learned of several other interesting changes in and about West Chester and was about to leave when in walked none other than Jack Ivins whom “Wickv” introduced as Superintendent of Schools. I gasped, choked, and generally made a dunce of myself and then took my departure as quickly as possible. That afternoon I went to New York. As I had some time to waste that evening before my ship sailed, I decided to “blow myself” to an opening on Broad- way. As I entered the theatre, I saw a sign in the lobby which advertised, “Rip and Em—the Two Greatest Lovers since Romeo and Juliet”. I was much puzzled at the time as to who these great characters might be. The first scene had hardly come onto the screen, how- ever, before I recognized my old friend, “Rosie” Polite and our talented actress, Emma Carville. The melodramatic scenes which followed were really quite touching. I learned later that “Rosie” and Emma were Hollywood's latest 41 finds. Well, at last Rosie had realized his ambition to play a serious part, and Emma had realized hers in becoming a well-known actress. As I was leaving the theatre, an enormous billboard placed temporarily against a building caught my eye. It was an advertisement of Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Among the stars were mentioned Thelma Keener, the world’s tallest lady; Dorothy La Rose and Tillie Sheneman, the petite bare-back riders; and Annabelle Hiddleson, the “girl on the trapeze.” After having stood in a trance staring at this remarkable sign for sometime, I finally came to and then made my way through New York to my boat. The next morning when I awoke, I decided the first thing I would do would be to acquaint myself with the ship. As I was strolling along the deck, I met three jolly sailors. And who should they turn out to be but Ruel Cummins, Bob Sauter, and the piano-playing sailor, “Polly” Barrett. Incidentally, “Polly” entertained us many an evening with his unusual talent. After I had recovered from this surprise, Ruel asked me if I had heard the news. I asked what news he meant. Whereupon he produced a newspaper on the front page of which were the glaring headlines: “Reader Huey Wins Presidential Election by Overwhelming Majority.” Well, we just stood in the middle of the deck and gave three cheers for good old Rae- der. Everyone thought we were crazy, but we didn’t care. We learned later that Eddie Schwartz had been chosen Speaker of the House under Huey. Just as the echo of the last cheer died away, a voice said behind us, “What's all the noise about?” I turned and beheld a tall, stately young woman dressed in perfect taste, whom I recognized as Kate Bleecker.

We had many a good time together, and Kate remained my traveling companion throughout the rest of I he trip. That evening in the dining-room we noticed a strikingly-gowned young woman who seemed to he acting as a hostess. As she came nearer our end of the room, we recognized her as Bertha Ryder, who, as we had guessed, was regularly employed as a hostess on the ship. After many delightful days on (he sea, we finally arrived in Italy. We went first to Naples. There we spent several days after which we journeyed northward visiting some of the beautiful and pic- turesque towns. We stopped in Rome for about two days and there took the liberty of calling upon the American Ambassador, Sherman Kent, and his charming wife, the former Louise Clay- ton. I was walking along the street in one of the particularly beautiful little towns one morning when I bumped headlong into a very American-looking young man. I hastily stepped back and started to make apologies—to none other than John Cessna. After surprised greetings had been exchanged on both sides, he offered to show me the sights of the town. On our tour I asked him what in the world he was doing in Italy. He hesitated at first to tell me, but finally confided that he was madly in love with a beautiful Italian girl. As soon as he started to talk about her, I knew the case must be quite serious, for he imme- diately soared into the clouds and be- came quite oblivious of his surroundings. After he had spoken at great length about the beauty and charm of the lady in question, I succeeded in bringing him to earth again. I then asked him if he knew anything about any of our class- mates. He told me that Barney Hool was proving his great ability as a states- man by holding the position of Ambassa- dor to China. There he was doing his utmost to uphold the honor of his coun- try. John also told me that Ruth J vle had recently been married to an enor- mously wealthy Frenchman who had fallen madly in love with her. He had been attracted first by her blond beauty, but afterwards by Ruth herself. John says they make a charming couple. I suddenly realized that the time was going very fast, so I was forced to return to my hotel. That afternoon Kate and I left for Nice on the Riviera. The day after our arrival we set out on'our separ- ate paths to explore the city. The first place of interest I saw was a very small shop with the name Fannv- Mart” on the sign hanging above the door. I decided that the name looked about as much American as anything, so I went in. The Fanny-Mart” turned out to be a perfume shop. The minute I entered the door I heard a giggle. W here had I heard that before? Then the owner of said giggle appeared, fol- lowed by a very slender, blond young woman. It was at that moment that I nearly fainted. The two young women were my dear friends, Marty” Hubbard and my old pal, Frances Mathews. Well, we settled down in comfortable chairs and had a grand old-fashioned gab. After we had talked for what seem- ed a very short time, I suddenly became aware of the fact that it had really been about three hours; so, promising to come again, I hastily made my departure and flew back to tell Kate the news. When I arrived at the hotel, I found her also just about bursting with news and laughter. After I had imparted my discovery to her, she told me that she had been standing in a nearby square 44 AAA The Garnet and White The Garnet and White a a a 45 admiring the statue of a famous French- stay and not even bother to go sight- man when two tall young men rolled by seeing.

Will you regret that your reports were not better? Will you regret that you did not enter into sports, take part in programs, and a thousand and one other things that you did not have time to do? Please do these things before it is too late. Everything in this world needs back- ing. Every club, organization, and athletic team of our school needs your support. Help while you can; and when you reach the last of your high school days, it will make you feel as if you had done your best and helped in a small way. We can not all be leaders, but we can try to be good followers. Many times it is even harder to be a good follower. Aim to be one or the other. Evelyn Ruth, ’3 f 0 a The Garnet and White Class Will WE, the class of 1932, have been recently informed that on the 16th day of June in the year one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-two we shall leave the world of West Chester High School. We look upon this date wi'h both sorrow and happiness; but, nevertheless, we are powerless in the hands of Fate and must meet our future. In view of these facts we feel that we should bestow upon certain worthy members of the class of 1933 certain possessions which we have. Therefore, we, the class of 1932, of West Chester High School, do make and declare this to be our last will and testament—To wit: I. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the right to use the marble steps which adorn the front of this building. May you uphold the honor of keeping all lower classmen from treading upon them. II. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the right to use B-l and B-3 as attend- ance rooms and to torment the teachers therein to the extent of their ability. III. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the celebrities, Macbeth” and Burke.” May you escape taking Burke retakes.” IV. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the right to hold all love trysts in the front of the left section of Study Hall during lunch period. V. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the right of being hall monitors. May you uphold your dignity as Seniors in fulfilling this position. VI. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the right to hold Baby Day.” We warn you that the teachers will not allow you to eat taffies in their classes. VII. We bequeath to the class of 1933 the privilege of walking out of chapel first. Do not allow other classes to usurp this privilege. VIII. We reluctantly give our books to the teachers who will hold them in trust until next September when they will distribute them to the class of 1933. There are certain things we cannot leave to the class of 1933 as a whole; we therefore will them to certain individuals of the class of 1933. To wit: Clarence Hartshorne wills his position as class shiek to Harry Cann. Frances Mathews wills her ability to warble to Dot” Wallace. Martha Hubbard wills her position as Marshallton attraction to Marjorie Chambers. David Hunter wills his ability to concentrate on his lessons to Tom Yerkes. “Rosy” Polite wills his ability to crack the latest” to Bob” McCowan. Raeder Huey wills his position as class athlete to Nickie Bruno. Bertha Ryder wills her position as chief attraction for practice teachers to Mary Brinton. Sherman Kent wills his literary ability to anyone who qualifies himself for that position. Emma Carville wills her incessant giggle” to Sarah Garrett. Kate Bleecker wills her excess height to Marian Price. Welton Arnold wills his basoon to anyone who has fingers long enough to play it. Joseph Bender wills his aeroplane enthusiasm to Walter Miller.

At the first one Sherman Kent gave a splendid talk on the value of mathematics to the world and on some of the many ways in which mathematics enters into our civilization. The other programs were planned to show the history and the development of mathematics through the Greek and the Roman periods. Part of each meet- ing was given over “just for fun to playing mathematical games, solving puzzles, or making magic squares. There were thirty members of the Club. The officers were: Sherman Kent, president; Tom Yerkes, vice-president; Eva Cohee, secretary. ▲ ▼A COMMERCIAL CLUB The last meeting of the Commercial Club was called to order in rooms 24 and 25 by the chairman, Esther Preston. It was announced that the Club would give out the Typing awards to those at- taining a speed of thirty words a minute and those attaining forty words a minute. After the regular business procedure the meeting was then turned over to Ger- trude Meredith, chairman of the Pro- gram committee, who then announced the following program—“A Greeting by Evelyn Ruth; a short play, “Look Pleasant, Please”, with the following taking part: Cantrill Duncan, Norman Talley, Eugenia Taylor, Beatrice Shrin- er, Harriet West, Elizabeth Pfuhl, Mary Winans, and Esther Preston; a short talk on “The Trip to Bloomsburg”, by Beryl Kouba. The annual Commercial Club picnic will be held on June 8, 1932, at Lenape Park. A. William Battin, '32, Sec. ▼ AT LATIN CLUB The last meeting of the Latin Club was held on April 20. After the business had been completed, the remaining time was given to the program. Mary Robertson, accompanied by Frances Mathews, sang “Integer Vitae. Next was a play which illustrated the close connection between Latin and French. The scene was laid in a French restaurant in Paris. Elias Baker, the first American student, was unable to order a meal because he did not know how to speak French. Ted Rogers, the second American student, did not know the French language, but he tried I atin. The French maid, Dorothy Taylor, was able to understand him. After the play Emilia Pugliese sang an Italian song. Then Miss Jackson took us to the opera in Verona. It was held in an ampitheater. The stage was so large that hundreds of people were able to participate. Everyone enjoyed the program. Katherine Sheneman, '33. ▼ A ▼ FRENCH CLUB The French Club held a very inter- esting meeting at which Ted Rogers spoke on Monte Carlo, Priscilla Alden on the Mardi Gras, and Dorothy Mc- Fadden on French Canada. These talks were thoroughly enjoyed by all. At another meeting Liter, Mr. Noe told us of some of his experiences in France. These were very humorous and afforded pleasant diversion to the mem- bers. 72 a a a The Garnet and White Looking hack through the year, the members of the Club must certainly feel that they have truly gained something worthwhile from the Club meetings: we have learned much about the French customs, traditions, and habits: we have learned through a man who has come into direct contact with the French people some of their characteristics and traits; we have heard from speakers about the different phases of French life; anti finally we have enjoyed greatly all these things. With this the members of French Club until next year bid “Au revoir!” Priscilla Cox, '33, Reporter. AT A DRAMATIC CLUB On April twentieth the Dramatic Club held its annual contest for the best group productions. First prize was awarded to the group giving an original play entitled “A Tragedy.” The characters were: Sherman Kent, a law- yer; Doris Quinn, the stenographer; Charles Gruber, a gangster; and Roose- velt Polite, newspaper reporter. Every- one agreed that this play deserved the prize. Second prize was won by the play, “Possessing Prude ce.” Ruth Weiler took the part of the aunt; Priscilla Alden, the little girl; and John Cessna, the minister. Roosevelt Polite and Charles Gruber received honorable men- tion for Two Lunatics.” While the judges were debating, refreshments were served in the lunch room. On April twenty-seventh the individ- ual contest was held. There were many that were well done. Frances Mathews was awarded first prize for her splendid portrayal of Lady Macbeth. Second prize was won by Winifred Pines, who gave “Boots” very well. Special mention was given to Charles Gruber, who gave “ The Wages of Speculation.” Ann Whitcraft received third prize for The Little Red Hen.” Thus the Dramatic Club came to the close of a very suc- cessful year. Ann Whitcraft, '33. AT A ART CLUB NOTES The members of our Art Club have enjoyed many interesting meetings this year. During our eleven meetings we have gained some valuable knowledge about oil painting. Most of our oil paintings are finished, and we hope (hat some of them are adding their beauty to our homes. We have had very good turnouts at our meetings which show our interest in the club. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Aliss Johnson for her valuable aid which has helped to make this year so successful. Have you ever noticed that we have an art Club banner? The colors and the emblem both have meaning which serve as a standard for the club. Our picnic is to be held at Lenape this year on May 30th. On May 28th Miss Johnson is going to take some of the art students to the Philadelphia Art Museum. Evelyn Wheatley, ’32. SCIENCE CLUB On May 20, 1932, in the auditorium at 8 o'clock the Science Club closed its eleventh year of consecutive service to the members of the student body and their friends. Dr. I. Pemberton P. Hollingsworth, pathologist at the Chester County Hospital, was the principal speaker for the occasion. He spoke on The Devel- opments in the Conquest of Diphtheria His talk was followed by the regular business meeting, at which action was The Garnet and White A 73 A A taken to purchase some books on scien- tific subjects for the Science Depart- ment. Other numbers on the program were a talk on “The Origin, Purpose, and Past, Present, and Proposed Activities of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia' by John Reason; a one act play entitled “Yes,” characters Mary Brinton and Welton Arnold; vocal solo by Bayard Rustin; and selections by the Science Club Novelty Orchestra in their first appearance. Before bringing a very successful meeting to a close Sherman Kent, presi- dent of the club, presented to Mr. Lewis M. Prutzman, head of the Science De- partment of the school and club founder and sponsor, a book on behalf of the club as a token of appreciation for his work with the club. John Reason, Reporter. ASSEMBLY NOTES The chapel program for April 8 was in charge of C8. Judith Walters read the Bible. The program consisted of num- bers by the chorus. Room Cl 1 had charge of the assembly program on April 22. Marian Wertz read the Bible and announced the pro- gram which consisted of the following: A reading by Sara Smith, a recitation by Ann Whitcraft, a vocal solo by Doro- thy Wallace, a piano solo by Florence Shepherd, and three popular numbers by the entire assembly. This program was fine, and we enjoy- ed it. April 29 was Baby Day. Consequent- ly, the Babies” performed. In their baby fashion they presented piano solos, vocal solos, games, recitations, and dia- logues. The chapel program on May 13 was varied. Helen Price, playing the cello, Ethel Kolb, playing the violin, and Charles Henderson, at the piano, played two selections. Mr. Miller from S. T. C. rendered a few vocal solos. Then the chorus put on the numbers which they were to sing in the evening at Temple University. The Juniors had charge of chapel on May 20. An orchestra, composed of juniors, played two selections. The big feature of the program was the play, Circumstances Alter Cases”, parts be- ing taken by Elizabeth Schwalm, Doro- thy Wallace, Eleanor Pyle, Tom Yerkes, and Dave Hickman. The play was well presented and enjoyed by all of us. Helen Rittenhouse (a senior) gave a short talk, reminding us that Memorial Day was approaching and pointing out its significance. Senior Class Program The Seniors had charge of the assem- bly program on May 27 (last assembly). The vice-president, Martha Hubbard, read the Bible and the announcements. The president, George Matthews, turned the program over to Bayard Rustin. The program in the auditorium consisted of the following: a piano solo by Tillie Sheneman, a musical number by a double quartet, the reading of the Class Will by George Matthews. The Class of ’32 then presented their gift (a robe and a gavel) to the school. This gift is to be used each year in the presentation of the gift of the graduating class to the school. The rest of the program took place in front of the school. The sopho- mores marched out, followed by the juniors, and the seniors, respectively. The seniors sang; then handed the steps over to the juniors. The juniors accepted the steps, and also sang. The program was closed by the singing of the Alma Mater by the entire student body. This was a new type of program, and one that was very impressive. Katherine Sautter, '33. 74 ▲ a The Garnet and White West Chester High School Orchestra, 1931 1932 The Work o f the Orchestra Few people realize the work of our high school orchestra. The orchestra meets every Tuesday morning during activities period. It convenes not simply to play pieces, hut to pick pieces apart, so to speak, and “put on the finishing touches.’’ The orchestra provides much experience for those persons who intend studying music after they finish high school. However, playing in the orches- tra is not a waste of time for those who do not expect to study further, hut rath- er forms a happy diversion from routine school life. The purpose of our orchestra is to become acquainted with music of (he better kind. All of these things are made possible by Mr. Hart, our director, and under his adept supervision the orchestra has grown into a musical or- ganization of note. Some of the events at which the or- chestra has played this year are: the (unior High School Play, the Christmas Program, the Senior High School Play, and the Home and School League. It has also presented two Chapel programs during the year in order to show the other pupils in school what we are doing and also to encourage interest in the orchestra. Quite a new experiment was introduced into orchestral work this year. It was the Chester County Or- chestra Festival, which was held April twenty-fifth at the Philips Memorial Auditorium and in which our orchestra participated. The County Oichestra consisted of a combined orchestra of the members of various schools in the coun- ty. The undertaking was purely experi- mental but it turned out so well that it will probably be continued in the future. The orchestra also took part in the closing chapel program on May twenty- seventh. Last but not least the orchestra played at the Commencement Exercises. 1931-1932 certainly has been a most successful year in the field of orchestra work. Florence Shepherd, ’33. The Garnet and White ▲ A A 75 A Community Project The Health and Welfare Council of Chester County, Pa., desired an exhibit, depicting the development of school- houses, from pioneer days to modern times, in our county. It was to be a contribution from the public schools of West Chester. It was decided that the Art depart- ment of the West Chester Senior High School should work upon the project, which was to be a frieze, 21 feet long and 3 feet high, divided into eight panels, each panel representing a period. At first the project seemed over- whelming. The necessary research, the organization, the study of perspective, and the development would require a great many hours. A group of twelve students, who elect art, was chosen. They were immediately interested and enthusiastic, agreeing to work after school hours and on Saturday mornings, if necessary. After a visit to Dr. Heathcote, profes- sor of Social Studies, West Chester State I eachers College, to have our periods and dates verified, we were ready to proceed. For guidance we consulted the following books and pictures: “History of Chester County’’, C. Heathcote. “Historic Costume”, K. Lester. “Mas- ter Paintings of Scenes from American History , J. L. G. Ferris. There were to be eight periods, approximately fifty years apart, as follows: 1683—Pioneer Days Home Training 1703—Laeti'ia Penn School, Valley Forge (oldest school in Ameica) 1733—The First Friends’ School—Pi - mingham 1818 The Octagonal School -Diamond Rock 1834—Union ville Academy 1875—“The Little Red Schoolhouse” 1925—West Goshen Consolidated School 1931—Kennett Consolidated School (largest in the U. S.) The project necessitated 300 hours of work and required five weeks for com- pletion. It was exhibited for two days at the Annual Meeting of the Chester County Health and Welfare Council, in the Armory, West Chester, Pa. The following students worked upon the project: Evelyn Smith Gladys Hughes Alice Gilbert Eugenia Taylor Evelyn Wheatley Eva Cohee Anna Dewees Dorothy Cidney Smith Anna White Emma Carville Evard Hall Helen Litzenberg Martha Hubbard Grace Matlack Sill We enjoyed the work, and we all agree that we learned a great deal about the history and the costume of the early days of our country. 76 ▲ ▲ The Garnet and White West Chester High School—Class of 1933 What the Juniors Have Accomplished The Juniors have passed through a great term of school. 1 he Class of Thirty-three has been outstanding in practically every phase of school life. I f you will review with me what the Juniors have accomplished, you will admit that they lead the classes of W. C. H. S. The Juniors started off in the fall by producing the hockey captain, Micky” Glisson. As well as producing the captain, the Junior Class gave the hockey team many of the best players. In fact, the Juniors have been well rep- resented in every school sport. The Class of Thirty-three has done unusually fine work in the various con- tests in the school. Tom Yerkes won first prize in the Boys’ Speaking Contest. Not allowing the boys to get ahead of them, the Junior girls stepped forward and took two prizes in the Girls' Speak- ing Contest. Ann Whitcraft and Eliza- beth Schwalm won first anti third prizes, respectively. Still the Juniors didn’t stop carrying off honors—not until Eleanor Stoneback captured the Spelling Championship title. The Juniors were very successful in all they undertook. The Junior Tea, The Garnet and White A A A 77 which was held in December, was a big success. The Class of Thirty-three is well rep- resented in music. A great number of orchestra and band members are rep- resentatives of that class. Ethel Kolb was named concert master of the Chester County Orchestra. The J uniors have done very prominent work in clubs. If you will look over the names of officers of various clubs, you will find that many are Juniors. Anti now in view of these accomplish- ments take off your hats to (he Class of Thirty-three!

The Seniors now are parting; Empty will be their places. No more the Seniors will they be; No more we’ll see their faces ’Round the halls and in the rooms. But there will remain their traces. The Juniors will be Seniors And will the vacant places fdl. I hey will have the obligations A senior must fulfdl. So, next year's seniors, listen— Do your duties with a will. Senior classes in the past Have upheld their school quite well. Let us keep that record. And what's undesirable repell. Profit by all past mistakes, The limes the others fell. Next year's seniors, now resolve That you'll do your very best. Each one be an upright senior. And work together with the rest; So we may set a fine example In W. C. H. S. Katharine Sautter, '33.

Elizabeth Dutt—not dreaming about ? and not wearing a flower. Irwin Tomlinson—not willing to start an argument with Mr. Shetter Mary Singer-—without Virginia Peck to talk to. Doris Colley, XI. ▼ A ▼ ANOTHER CHANCE Another chance—these words have been uttered in beseeching tones by downcast creatures daily through the centuries. Almost always Fate gives such people their desire. During the school term we had a chance to learn, to grow, and to understand partially the ways of the past and posterity. During those hot months of July and August, there is no school; an entirely clean sheet is once more placed before us. As our eyes look down the long vistas of contentment, derived either from unselfish achievements or harmless in- dolence, they may lead us on the uni- versal pursuit of happiness. Can’t you hear the monotonous hum of the locust and the menacing buzz of mosquitoes. As a contrast, the refresh- ing splash of cool lake water and the soft, light ping of the tennis ball delight an athlete’s ears.

Pen- rod, a farce comedy in four acts, amused all who attended. I he auditorium was filled to its capacity both nights. The play was suitable for students of Junior High; it had an exciting and comical plot, and the cast acted their parts ex- tremely well. M iss Farra, the director, was compli- mented by all for directing the play in such an excellent manner. For those interested in the financial facts, we sold five hundred and forty- two student tickets and five hundred and ninety-two adult tickets. The profit which is a goodly sum, considering the cost of scenery, costumes, properties, play books, royalty, etc., amounted to more than three hundred and fifty dollars. The proceeds are to be divided between the Junior High Athletic Asso- ciation and the Dramatic Club, the larger portion going for athletics. A few of the interesting back-stage facts follow: Several dogs were given acting tests for playing the role of Duke”, Penrod's dog. None suited the purpose until the day of the play when Skippy, Mr. Henderson's fox terrier, made his debut to the audience in a most successful manner. In one of the most tense love scenes, the telephone, placed backstage, fell to the floor with a loud crash, but the audience paid little attention to it, thinking it part of the storm effects. While waiting for their entrances members of the cast would rush around back of the scenery, seeking the auto- graphs of those connected with the play, instead of being intent on listening for their cues. This almost drove the dir- ectors and prompters to nervous pros- tration. Fortunately, everybody was on hand at the proper time. The members of the cast in the picture above (reading from left to right) are: Georgie Bassett , Delmer Miller; “Mrs. Bassett , Helen Price; “Sam , Decatur Baldwin; “Herman , Donald Lewis; “Verman”, Richard Moore; “Penrod”, Walter Heed; “Chief of Police”, Louis The Garnet and White a a a 87 Singer; “Della , Dorothy Hool; “Jarge', Ellis Miller; Mr. Schofield”, Walter Kerwin; “Mrs. Schofield”, Janet Robert- son; “Mr. Jones”, Charles Hendrson; “Margery ”, Eleanor Dutton;“ Mr. Dade, Herman Reed; Margaret Schofield ', Betty Jones; “Bob” Wesley Scott; “Rev.

From portals wide to open sky; One says, Our year of toil's passed by; ’Twas useless labor. School, goodbye.” He does not think, the thoughtless one. Of wisdom, knowledge, learning won; For when the race of life they run; They’ll grieve for that which now they shun. The price of ignorance is dear, And paid by misery, woe, and fear. Now, think of this, and when, next year You come to school, then, come with cheer. Nathan Hall, Grade VIII. TAT A FRESHMAN WILL I We Freshmen will these things to you That were our privilege. When we were young and in ninth grade. And of a happy age. II We will to you these things to do: From chapel first to go. Before the first eight grades (at lunch) To gladly lead that row. III Now you may occupy our rooms, And be good (?) Freshmen cooks. And study first year Latin, too, And use our Freshmen books. Janet Robertson, Grade IX. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS The Junior High School students have had a choice of fourteen clubs this year. The Advertising Club was under the supervision of Mr. McCormick and Mr. Althouse. The club members made many attractive posters during the year. The Agriculture Club has been super- vised by Mr. Ratchford. Excursions were made to the surrounding county in the study of trees and movies shown on farm life. The Aviation Club came under the direction of Mr. Benner. The year was spent in making and judging model air- planes. The Commercial Club had Miss Hunt. M iss Keller, and Miss Chambers as its sponsors. The members spent an interesting year using typewriters and the adding machine. The Dancing Club was sponsored by M iss Strickland and Mr. Haupt. I he members of this club were given instruc- tion in ballroom dancing. The activities of the other clubs can be easily understood by their names. They are: the Art Club under Mr. Lear; the Camera Club under Miss Wason; the Collectors Club under Mr. Hallo- well; the Craft Club under Mr. Muth and Mr. Musselman; the Dramatic Club under Miss Farra and Miss Dei- trich; the First Aid Club under Miss Lewis; the Harmonica Club under Mr. Hart; the Science Club under Mr. Elin- sky and Mr. Shetter; and the Book Club and Globe Trotters Club combined under Miss James and Miss Stackhouse. Through the new activities period, we have been able to give more time to our clubs and to form new ones. Clubs are a part of our school life and give us much pleasure. We hope that the students next year will find their clubs as worth- while and interesting as we have found ours.

Good luck and godspeed to you, seniors! The school has proudly watched your rise through the grades. Let us hope that the next class will be as dili- gent .. . and fun-loving as you have been. You who have been successfully pro- moted into another grade continue your good work next year and enjoy a well- earned vacation. For you who have not done so well and who are not winter “vacationists”, let me encourage you. Have faith in yourselves. Make every golden minute count for the best. Too late? Never. Do not let those “hope- less” subjects remain so. “Still waters run deep.” From a very calm and alle- gorical fish pond let an Atlantis of dili- gence come forth. In other words, show A A that you have the courage and the will to do—tackle that troublesome subject and make it yours. Don’t comfort your- selves with the fact that you just passed.” Make the most of the remain- ing term; and after it’s over, be man enough to make a few wise resolutions. Say goodbye to school and books, and enjoy yourselves, (mine’s butterfly collecting, what’s yours?)—to come back next season with minds refreshed and open for knowledge.

Although our contributors are quite inexperienced, they have enjoyed writing. The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ 91 The poems, stories, club accounts, editorials, and sports which were sub- mitted were appropriate for each season. The articles were original and gave the person's own ideas, which made them more enjoyable to read. It is interesting to know that of the year's production, the Ninth Grade contributed seventeen articles, the Eighth grade, eleven; and the Seventh grade, eight; making a total of thirty-six articles. Many thanks for your co- operation! Blanche C. Fry, Grade VIII. ▼ AT CHAPEL PROGRAMS This month the Junior High School assembly programs have been excep- tionally delightful. On Wednesday morning, April sixth, a ninth grade music class supplied an all Schubert program in commemoration of his birthday. The program was com- posed of the playing of two phonograph records, “The Flying Dutchman” and March Militaire”, and the singing of his most noted songs by the class. The Cheyney singers entertained us the following week with their annual program. “Little Brown Baby”, a solo b.V M iss Booker, anti “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child”, a solo by Mr. Ryland, were enjoyed by everyone. The program consisted chiefly of lesser- known spirituals. Initiative plus ambition furnished the Junior High School's next program. A group of Phoenixville boys formed a quartet and presented a program which was widely applauded. Charles Swier, the accompanist for the Phoenixville High School played the “Minuet” by Paderewski and a composition of his own on the piano. The boys were: Albert Herlzel, 1st tenor; Ralph Moore, 2nd tenor; Lawrence Miller, baritone; Harold Turner, basso; Char- les Swier, pianist. Mr. Miller, a student at the local college, sponsored the program. A group of various quartets and en- sembles from the State Teachers College supplied our next program on April 27. Dr. Schmucker gave a well-illustrated speech about boys’ opportunities during Boys’ Week. The Junior High Boys’ Chorus and the Harmonica Club pre- sented short musical numbers before his speech. Franklin Newman, Grade IX. QJTq) Exchange IT seems almost impossible that ano- ther year has gone by so quickly; yet the fact remains that it has, and we must now say good-bye to our Ex- change for another year. We wish to thank you all for the many favorable criticisms you have given us and also for the ones which have contained advice as to how we might better our magazine. We surely hope that we have profited by the latter. There has lieen a great deal of excellent material in our Exchanges that we wish everyone could have seen. However, that was impossible since we could not print everything. Before we bid you our last farewell, we. the staff of '32, want to wish all future editors the best of success and to list a few of the Exchanges which we have enjoyed most. The Green and IVhite for your excellent literary department. The Spectrum for your exchange notes. The Upi Dah for your March number. The IFah Hoo for your clever sketches. The Campionette for your snappy jokes. The High School Record for being an excellent all-round magazine. And now “Au revoir” and the best of luck to you all! 92 ▲ ▲ a The Garnet and White Continued from page 70) white of a good book brings a store of bliss to the literary person. Also the assurance of work well done, of happiness brought to other people fills a summer vacation with satisfac- tion. The delicious rest and coolness conveyed by evening time helps the heart as well as the mind to grow. Summer vacation means a chance for us; not only as a joyful rest period, but also a realm of experiences which will make us bigger, better, and happier people, ready for further education and able to cope with mutual and individual problems of life.

WALNUT ST. WEST CHESTER, PA. The Garnet and White a a a 93 Garnet and White Staff, 1931-1932 Lf Envoi WITH this issue we end our part in the publication of the Garnet and White. We have tried to do our best in carrying on the torch , and hope that in a measure we have succeeded. Believe us, it was an honor as well as a joy to be able to do our bit; and if we have advanced the interests of our school in any way we are more than happy. A magazine is a vital part of school life. Besides a school's participation in sports with other schools, a publication by its student body is the only other means of keeping in touch with these schools and of fostering a spirit of cooperation and good-will among them. More than that, a magazine collects within its pages views of the varied activities among its students, and makes a central theme of them of interest to everybody instead of being scattered among different groups of only a few interested pupils. The Commencement number, the culmination of all efforts, with its pictures, prizes, and scores listed, especially is a book which makes it possible for memories of high school life to live on, and makes us realize how im- portant our magazine is to us. We should like to take this opportunity to thank gratefully those who have made the Garnet and White possible: The advertisers, without whose great financial aid publication would have been impossible; The backers”, who kept us more than supplied with very fine material; The subscribers, for whom we worked, and whom we tried to please; Last, but not least by any means, the staff, with whom, because of their splen- did spirit and hearty cooperation, it was a pleasure to work. We would extend our hearty thanks to those who ha%-e in ani way helped to make the Garnet and White the success we hope it has been. Here's wishing next year's staff just the best of success!
