Giving you knowledge of life and its things to be. Children, I hope for you, leaving me as you do. Happiness, winning the goal that you want to see. Longer I will not be able to watch your life; Out of my care you are taking your future way Into the problems and struggles of way and strife Into the dawn of a coming and glorious day. Through many years I have watched students take their leave. Always I pray for their growth in the outside world. And as they go, all unknowing they do bereave Her whom they’re leaving with banners of youth unfurled. Now when the time will be for you to go from me. Oh, Thirty-six, these few words I would leave with you: Ne’er will you part from me, for in my heart you’ll be Part of the history and traditions of this, the school. Mary Elizabeth Dunning, '36 The Garnet and White ▼ ▼ ▼ 3 i£int of tljr Horizon WISTFULLY, we cast a backward glance. Three years ago it was, when the daring Class of’36 set out to reach the horizon. Anticipation and labor —and we have blazed a trail not soon to be forgotten. Along that trail we were ever encouraged by the sacrifice and the devotion of our stable Alma Mater. VVe have approached that seemingly remote line. Our long day’s tedium is over. Here—here we stand at the horizon for which we so faithfully strove. Or do we? How life-like! The horizon—an intangible object! We can still see but a more distant goal beyond, another trail to be blazed. Unlike our high school pioneering, we shall plod diligently into separate paths to that horizon we now view. A labyrinth of trails- looming sombre and uncertain before us! Thankful are we for the power of adaptation our West Chester has given us. May each trail be blazed to perfection; may the distant horizon hold a rare treasure for each of us! Janice Hunter, ’36 ♦ ♦ 5reater 3Cnue THERE is not, possibly, or ever will be a greater love than that which we have for our Alma Mater. There are so many precious memories attached to its familiar halls of which we shall often be reminded in days to come This school has been our home for four years. We have found joy, honor, pleasure, and sorrow; we have found a salvation for our troubles; food for our thoughts has been given us; we have been fitted to meet many of life’s experiences —all these things has this benefactress given us. It is no wonder that this is a cher- ished time for us seniors, who must slip from beneath her bountiful arms to make room for another class, so that that class may enjoy the same fullness of life that has been ours. What a privilege and a blessing that we have had the advantage of high school! True, we shall love college, but high school came first and there is no greater love than first love. Bette Clayton, ’36 ♦ - WEST CHESTER HIGH West Chester High, to thee we’ve sung our song Of love and praise and loyalty. To thee we’ve meant each word Of affection, hope, and fealty. We’ve meant to leave behind us Things to remember us by. As for what we’ve left behind us. May your esteem be high. May those who are left to graduate Accomplish a great deal more. May they love and praise thee And be proud to leave thy door. We who now have conquered Great things within your walls Will appreciate the lifts you’ve given To lighten our future falls. Muriel Spann, ’36 4 ▲ a The Garnet and White Amateur llmtr MENTION of the term amateur hour is not, by any means, unfamiliar to all of us. If one has never heard of this nation-wide craze, he is greatly behind the times. Little children of five or six, girls and boys in their teens, men and women of forty or fifty are appearing in all parts of the country on the now famous amateur hours. Over the great national radio hook-ups these people are being heard. In a short while many of them are becoming famous. Thus it may be with us. For the past twelve years our school training has been our amateur hour. Gradually, as time has passed, one by one those who have been unable to make the grade” have, in amateur-hour terminology, been given the gong.” Some have left us to join up” elsewhere. As June 11 draws near, the grand finale comes in the form of our Commence- ment. Some will drop off here, while others will join the great professional ranks of teaching or practicing medicine or law. Of this vast Amateur I lour Finale, which is held over all the nation at this time of year, some are destined to attain the great heights like those whom we hear over the radio hook-ups. I wonder who, if any, of us will reach the top? Jack Hoskins, '36 iUp, iHysrlf, anil i Anyone's soliloquy; not meant lo be egotistical ME, myself, and I must decide the course we’ll take. The three of us must carry the burdens of the years. What we do now will affect the remainder of our life. We’re young and one mistake will not spell disaster or defeat. But what we choose must be done with the utmost care. We’ll think of and study our facilities. First of all we must enjoy the thing we choose, for why go through life with something that would hinder us and burden us more than help us? Second- ly, we could work a few years. Is that losing or wasting time? Time is an essential element. Laziness or idleness is the thief of time, they say, so if we work we’ll be losing but not wasting precious time. Me, myself, and I have a huge problem before us and only time spent in deep thought and solitude will solve it. Think, study, soliloquize, think, study, and soliloquize—that’s what me, myself, and I must do. David Closson, Jr., ’36 I want to live, See sunrise glow. Hear the wild waves Upon the rocks, Scent the petals of the Rose in June, And feel the warmth Of a bird’s sweet tune. I WANT TO LIVE Let me know life’s symphony, Oh, God, Strange cadences that rise And fall, in rhythm to all That is rich and full and fine. And let me taste the wine Of that love which you have sent from above, For all this—oh, God let me live!

The Garnet and White a a a 39 Pilgrim’s JJroijrFSs” a la ’3lt THE day dawned bright and clear (the first day of school always dawns nice and clear, although the week before school starts is invariably rainy). It was September 3, 1933. The Pilgrims (Class of ’36) wandered aim- lessly, at first, through the land of Westchesterhighschool, gazing awedly at the new scenery. In the distance (at the end of the main hall) the bedraggled Pilgrims saw a glimmer of light. They rushed forward and found—the office. The Pilgrims were met by a colony of hermits who lived in the offices. 'I hese hermits proved quite helpful and un- hermitlike. A map of the new territory was given to the weary travelers. They divided here into different camps, some going with the Classical, some with the General, and some going completely Commercial. After a few days of wandering around quite wildly, the Pilgrims banded to- gether and elected as their acclaimed leader none other than Pilgrim Edward Hall Davis who was ably assisted by Pilgrims Eastburn, Baker and Hoskins. By this time the leaves were beginning to fall (out of our books). The nights were becoming longer, the assignments harder and more plentiful. However, the poor Pilgrims felt the need of some divergence in their line of march. To assuage this thirst for entertainment the Pilgrims Field and Terry played the leads in “The Ghost Story.” Pilgrim Walter also added her bit of acting ability at this point. The unacting Pilgrims felt quite proud of the acting Pilgrims when they captured the prize for the best play from two other older bands of Pilgrims who were older and supposedly wiser than we. Ah, yes! There is no fury like a Pilgrim scorned. Especially by other Pilgrims. Another feather in the hat of the Pilgrims of '36 was the fact that they very successfully engineered a party. This fact also irked some of the older Pilgrims as they had previously failed in this enterprise. About this time the travel-weary Pilgrims were somewhat refreshed (???) by an Essay Contest sponsored by the Powers-That-Be, whoever they be. First prize went to Pilgrim Weiss and second to Pilgrim Caldwell. Pilgrims Brinton, Field, Congdon, Heed, Newlin, and Papier all received honorable mention. To while away the time these Pilgrims again entered a little competition. Pil- grims Newlin and Field came out with second and third places respectively. Not bad! ! Many of our Pilgrims showed acting ability in the pageant Now and Then. Only one Pilgrim secured a part in the school play Within the Law— Pilgrim Moore. Now, these Pilgrims had gotten foot- sore and weary. To further build up their resistance, they took a short vacation (of three months) during which time they rested up (and down). They retired far back into the lowlands with the exception of a few unfortunate Pil grims who still trudged on through the dark vale of summer school. With the summer gone, the Pilgrims of '36 pushed onward, ever seeking knowledge, A+'s and fame. Far off in the distance they saw that glimmer of light known as Seniorhood and the Promised Land of the Senior Steps. In this chapter the Pilgrims chose as their leader none other than John Robinson Hoskins, III. Pilgrim I loskins was aided and abetted by Pilgrims Fry, Davis, and Eastburn. Onward and onward they pushed into the dense underbrush of the Junior valley. On either side rose great cliffs of English, Geometry (full of angles) and History, to say nothing of those awful Frenchalias — dreadful monsters with The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ ▲ verbs for teeth. At various places along the roadside they stopped for refresh- ment, reunion, and recreation. In the Great Play, our Pilgrims con- tributed such stars as Pilgrims Field, Terry, Heed, Moore, Dicken, Lewis, and Baldwin. Further along the widening road our Pilgrims Perry, Pryor, Sager, and Levine sacrificed themselves to that great musical Harmony Hall. As we wandered past the field ot speaking. Pilgrims Heed, Field, and Hunter reach- ed in and gnawed off some prize prizes. Some gnawing! One fine day we stopped in the lunch- room for tea. Here we ate and teaed till quite exhausted. Another day we stop- ped long enough for Pilgrims Jackson, Ratchford, Eastburn, Fry, Hunter, Wal- lace, and Levine to play a little play called “Owin’ to Maggie’ . Because the Powers-That-Be liked the play, we won the prize and were sent to I laverford (not a jail). Many of our large band of Pilgrims helped in many ways all along the way —in the Garnet and White, Band, Athletics, Clubs, and Scholastic Ability. Ah. weary Pilgrims, how glad we were to lay our pencils by after the finals and heave a sigh of relief (or fear). Wearily, we sat down to rest by the roadside for the few months vacation allotted us. We had one consolation that Promised Land was one step nearer. Reward at last! All good things come to him who waits—and works, faith- fully we Pilgrims have waited and diligently we have worked. Now at last —at last—that reward of rewards we might place our pedal extremeties (feet, to you) on that Holy of Holies, the Senior Steps. We might be hall monitors who could guide and caution wayward younger Pilgrims, go first in the lunch line (after the teachers) and actually be permitted to study that much-beloved book Burke. Ah, what bliss! what Burke! In this dangerous canyon of Senior- hood we were ably guided by the hands 41 and hearts of Pilgrims Eastburn, Oberle, Fry and Lewis. Again the Great Play was honored by the acting ability of Pilgrims Field, Moore, Ratchford, Dicken, Heed, Hos- kins, Wallace, Baldwin, Lewis, Terry, Newlin, Thomas, Miller, Hayes, and McCowan, to say nothing of that cook of cooks-—Pilgrim Carville. All through these years of pilgriming certain among us have stood out in the muddy field of athletics. Pilgrim Jess Lewis was a bit of mud in the eye of the other team at nearly every game of nearly every sport. Pilgrim Davis and Pilgrim Monaghan made fine jobs of Captaining the football and baskettiall teams. Pilgrims Hoskins, Bennett, Johnson, Hall, Heed, Don Lewis, and many others came through and have aided West Chester in securing a high rating in the field of sports. As a fitting reward for their last chance at high school public speaking. Pilgrims Field, Steele, I Iced, I erry and Thomas munched great munches off the prize branches of the Speaking Contest tree which grew about in the middle of the year. One day the Pilgrims, as they were idly resting under a tree, were informed that certain among them had written prize-winning essays, Pilgrims Weiss and Hunter taking first and second. As a reward for good conduct, Pilgrims Field, Newlin, Walter, Ronk, Clayton, MacFarland, Dunning, Jackson, Brin- ton. Fry, and Eastburn received Honor- able Mention. Some strangers, one morning, upon seeing some of us Pilgrims trudging to school with our packs upon our backs, became quite alarmed not to say excited because we were not dressed as usual. Alas, poor uninformed stranger, twas onlv Babv Day. 1 hat was the babiest, lolly-popiest, picture-takingist Baby Day ever—complete with Pilgrims Lewis, Hunter, Fry, Pratt, Ashby, Heed, Ben- 42 a a a The Garnet and White The Garnet and White a a a nett, Ashton taking prizes for their cuteness. As a change from silliness, the Pil- grims were soon informed that Pilgrims Heed, Walter, Barnett, Jackson, Newlin, and Hunter had been selected as the best representatives for Honor Speakers. This was honor indeed. In the field of the class play we were ably represented by Pilgrims Hunter, Reed, Levine, Eastburn, Steele, Perry, Stancato and that master stage hand— Pilgrim Menig, in the play The Pot- Boiler which again won the prize. flt Happmtrfc Down with the Democrats! Down with the Republicans!” Down with the Socialists!” Down with the Repsocialcrats!” These were the words that met my ears as my very competent chauffeur, Roland Woodward, assisted me out of my new 1956 Baireen straight 20, manu- factured by the Paul Bair Company of Exton, Pa. It was the battle cry of the Repsocialcrat party that I heard, as thousands of its members thronged down Davis Boulevard, recently renamed for the city’s greatest benefactor, Lewis E. Davis. When I had joined the throng, I found in its midst many celebrities who were en route for the convention hall. Among them was Libby Hickman, newly-discovered torch singer, with her manager, Julius Levine. She was accompanied by four bodyguards whom I recognized as Paul Menig, George Eessenbecker, Robert Johnson, and Mar- tin Pyle. Ciose on her heels, with pencil and pad in hand were the noted column- ists, Donald Eastburn and Alban Har- vey, and Janice Hunter, editor of the Hood Gousekeeping, with her star report- er, Marian Buckwalter. All were seeking interviews. Along the street were posted photographs from the Ashton, Steele- Barnett, and Falini studios. 43 Our three years of pilgriming have been toilsome, happy, full of experience with a dash of disappointment here and there, and a joy to all of us. We have reached our present destination. Now we must make just as much effort and pilgrimage, each toward his separate Promised Land, without many of our former friends and helpers. May we gain those ends as easily, happily, and profitably as we have gained this—our Senior Year. Shirley Ronk, ’36 -4— hw Ntijbt flit— I followed the group, led by Chief-of- Police Jerry Monaghan, through a double line of policemen, some of whom I knew—Donald Chandler, Clarence Brown, Raymond Baer, John Hall, and John Peoples. The face of the ticket collector seemed familiar, and I later remembered him as George Lumis. Usher Samuel Jamison showed me to my seat which afforded me a splendid view of the floor and the entrances. Convention Chairman, Richard D. Moore, well-known in all political circles, called the convention to order and asked Reverend Velde to give the invocation, after which George Pryor, the noted composer, led the group in a hymn, ac- companied by Elizabeth Cornwall at the console of the Giorgiani organ. With a huge Bennett cigar in his mouth, the underworld politician, Butch” Cann led his wife, the former Betty, Toots , Hicks, glamorous fan- dancer, to a box already occupied by henchmen Jesse Scarface” Lewis and Herman Snake Reed. Mrs. Cann was wearing a gorgeous suit designed by Shirley and a Goldberg sable wrap. A party of noted writers and artists occupied the next box. Among them were two Lebon prize winners: Lydia Cope, for her novel, Suppressed Pas- sion , and Drusilla Byers for her epic 44 ▲ a The Garnet and White A poem, “Paradise Relost.” Others of the group were I lelen Kohler, Flora Papier, Ruth Brinton, Eleanor Jackson, and Lucille Kates. The outstanding artists present were Harold Barnett, Alary E. Dunning, Mary Field, and Elizabeth Durnall. Everyone’s attention was centered on the first speaker, the President of the United States, Walter E. Roehrs, Jr., who welcomed the representatives from all fifty-three states including Porto Rico, recently admitted through the influence of Governor Robert Ratchford and his wife, the former Senator Geor- gette B. Newlin. There followed a discussion as to whether support of the newly-established Bugology Commission, consisting of Ruth Green, Phyllis Cloud, Franklin Peters, Elwood Kofke, and Samuel Hannum, headed by Professor Albert Conway, should be made a part of the party platform. Later there was an open discussion on the question by Horace Wilson, Homer Darlington, Grace Hoff- ecker, 1 loward 1 lopkins, anti Verna Sager, all of whom are interested in destroying a new pest just discovered on their Worthington apples. While this discussion was in progress, a troupe of athletes in training for the Olympics entered. Among them I recognized Edward Davis, holder of the world’s record in low and high hurdles; Eleanor Ashby, swimming champion; Wi lliam 1 lickman, discus and twenty- five pound shot title holder; and George Sharpless and Tony Stancato, two of the greatest runners the world has ever known. These were followed by Rachel Garrett, Beatrice Himelright, Edith Karmatz, and Evelyn Weiss, all-Ameri- can lacrosse stars. The familiar voice of Miss Louise Perry, secretary to the President, turned my attention to the floor. Miss Perry was speaking on behalf of the John Taylor Secretarial Union, which was well represented in the convention by Louise Beebe, Alae Ruse, Phyllis Urban, Louise Clayton, Elsie Wertz, Elizabeth Moore, Thelma Gilmore, and Lillian Gerber. They were advocating the re- nomination of President Roehrs, who was opposed by the Walter “Square- Deal” Heed faction, represented by G. Decatur Baldwin, the leading lawyer of the “Cann” ring. Chairman Moore interrupted the pro- ceedings to call an intermission and a program to follow later, sponsored by the Clompus Caramel Crackers Com- pany. Cigarette and candy girls appear- ed for the convenience of those present. I recognized my old school chums, Emily Blount, Ruth Supplee, Louise Durrick, Beulah Syfrit, Frances Carville, and Virginia Edwards. From one of them I bought a pack of Wynne cigar- ettes, some Firmanettes, and some Fell fudge. How strange to see my old friends’ names appearing on candy wrappers! Two trumpeters, “Donny” Lewis and “Davy” Closson, heralded the beginning of the program. The Brobst asbestos curtains parted to the music of George Terry and his Mili-terry-ans, featuring “Stew” Bartels and his banjo and “Viccy” Ralston with his “trippin’ traps” and starring Janet Aliller and her silver sax. Before the program began. Mayor Strode presented cups to beautiful Babe” Thomas and exotic Mag” I layes, beauty queens. “Sam” Gray, popularly known as the “Zeigfeld of ’56”, announced “Doc” Hoskins and his Layettes. That master of comedy presented a world-famous quartette, comprised of Edna Spann, Marian Baker, Bette Clayton, and Mary Pratt. Next on the program was Joe Brumfield with his stooges- Willis Yearsley, George Colley, John Whitford, and George Frank—whose puns were reminiscent of my high school days. A chorus of beautiful girls took part in a modernistic dance under the The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ ▲ 45 direction of Mile. Hopee McCowannc. These gorgeous chorines were all old friends of mine: Leota Bostelle, Blanche Fry, Virginia Wallace, Beryl Conner, Gertrude Jones, Jeanne Walter, Laura Mae Booke, Sylvia Leslie, Mary Kunkel, Eloise Dickens, Eva Brinton, and Betty Cardwell. They entranced us with their superb rhythm and unmatched grace. Bessie Grablow, the famous “blues” singer, sang John MacIntyre’s newest hit, “When You Ate a Tulip and I Wore an Onion.” The last number on the program was a juggling act by the two Boston Broomall boys, Wayne and “I Jowdy-do-Cliff.” The program was broadcasted in a nation-wide hook-up over the A. B. C. network of the Archie Broadcasting Company through the courtesy of the Dougherty Dogfood Distributors with Dorothy Gray at the microphone. As the morning progressed, heated debates ensued between the two rival factions. Words flew so fast that the most efficient shorthand specialists of the day, Marian Segner, Esther Wilson, Irene Booth, Katherine Rice, and Cath- erine Pugliese, who were using the Singer -♦ system of shorthand, had difficulty in keeping track of all that was said. Before long, the morning session was adjourned, and I followed the crowd to the most popular restaurant in the city, “Millers’ ’’, owned and operated by Alfred and Louise Miller. The head- waitress, Virginia Whitford, showed me to a table equipped with an electric Fleming fly-swatter; and two charming waitresses, Dorothy Kreisher and Ann I Iannum, saw that I was satisfactorily served. Helen Greiner brought me my check, which I paid to Virginia Grubb, the cashier. Madeline I lowlett, at the checking table, returned my coat and hat to me; and as I stepped toward the revolving doors, I met Virginia Matlack, Helen Montgomery, Muriel Spann, and Helen Moore, well-known buyers for the Crawbridge and Strothier Company. Since I had dismissed my chauffeur, I called a taxi and was driven back to the convention hall by “Safety-speed” Shur, the holder of the city safety medal.

Thelma Wood, '37 46 a a a The Garnet and White ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE WOOD SHOP THE Wood Shop boys in the Class of’36 are proud to say that they have almost completed their house project. This year was the first time a class succeeded in building stairs to the second floor. I'he house has many different changes and is of a modern type. It is built more completely than in past years. The class has made much scenery since their freshman year; also each boy has had his turn in working on our stage. This year the class has been formed into one group and has worked on mary outside jobs. 1 he boys find this a very beneficial experience. Each boy in the class has drawn up his own plans for a house and blue printed them for future use. Boys of this year s Wood Shop are: Paul iMenig, George Colley, George Lumis, George Fessenbecker, Paul Bair, Alfred Miller, Howard Hopkins, Robert Quay and Herman Reed. This class is under the supervision of Mr. Francis Hallowell, Mr. Franklin Musselman and Mr. Clarence Zsarfoss. W e hope that the Class of 37 will further the progress which we have tried to make in our section. May they find pleasure and experience in their future work! Herman Reed, ’36 The Garnet and White a a a 47 MACHINE SHOP ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE senior class has accomplished many interesting machine operations and machine set-ups this year. Besides making many small tools for the shop and our own personal use, we worked on parts for two bench grinders and on an eight-inch lathe. After machining these parts we assembled these machines. We made the drawings and the blue prints for the grinder and the lathe, and the school bought the castings. There were just the required number of parts ordered, which helped make us very careful in all our work so that we should not ruin a single part. The seniors also made some very fine wrought-iron projects such as: antique andirons, fireplace tools, a wood basket, and flower stands of many descriptions. The Machine Shop Class of '56 is composed ol George Frank, Wayne Brobst, and Samuel I iannum. We hope that the Class of '37 will enjoy their senior projects as much as we have enjoyed ours.

Speaking of the senior play, we must not forget J. Levine. He has the mak- ings of a first-rate clown, what with his humor and raving. Feed him some clown crackers, and maybe Barnum will take him off our hands! It is a pity that our crooner, George Pryor, is continually “Lost.” He’s such a big boy, too! J. Walter has become so wild that she has begun “casting” herself around. It’s a great life if you don’t weaken; but who wants to be strong? G. T. should go out for track. The way he has been running around” lately! He might gain something. (May- be a certain sophomore.) One of our loudest shirtists is “Charl- ie” Cann. A close runner-up is Pete” Heed with those “horsey” jackets he wears. It certainly seems as if these boys are wearing miniature horse- blankets! No, you can’t fool me any longer! II. B. draws just to catch female atten- tion. And don’t believe a word he says. I’ll bet Mr. B— tells those nice things to all the girls! D. L. seems to know all about the variations with our little editor! Remember Len” Ashby on Baby Day? What a baby—a girl—I mean a boy. Oh well, remember our wild little tom-boy? Ah, the Seniors are sweet—awfully dumb about u.r though. It would be the happiest moment of my life if you and I, Garnet and White, could conspire to help some of the seniors along the way they want to go, although we shouldn’t perhaps! But stop! I’m getting sericus. But please tame down, you wild ones, and accept my good wishes for continued success. Anna Miller, ’37 50 ▲ a a The Garnet and White IDEAL SENIOR Due to a great difference of opinion, every one cannot be satisfied with the ideal senior girl or boy.

Janice were a trapper instead of a hunter. Richard were less instead of moore. Phyllis were a star instead of a cloud. Eleanor were coal instead of ash(by). Eddie were a night instead of a day(vis). Stewart were a soda fountain instead of a bar(tels). Bill were a city slicker instead of a hick(man). The Eyes and Ears. CLASS OF 36’s COMIC STRIP Joe Palooka...... Tillie, the Toiler. .

Tomorrow Thirty-six sets sail on strange, unventured sea; Yet do we know we cannot fail—our hearts will daring be. For in a staunch and humble trust in thy name we embark. West Chester you have given us the light to meet the dark. II. We’re hoisting banners green and white; we vow allegiance true. High will we keep those colors bright above life’s ocean blue. So fast thy mystic web of love has bound our sails on high; The bond, still strong, shall hold us fast as we go sailing by. III. And when at last we anchor lay in ports, both near and far. That lighthouse that we found in thee shall be our guiding star. But still when two or three shall meet to reminiscence fix. From low to highest in the fleet we’ll sing to Thirty-six. Janice Hunter, '36 e 0 TO THE SENIOR CLASS I. West Chester is known far and wide in the land For the standards which it has upheld. These, set by the pupils who pass through its halls. We’ll defend with our heart and our hand. II. May those who will leave soon to seek far and wide Their careers in the school of the world Go forth with the courage to dare and to do Towards a goal that will merit our pride. III. So we, who are Juniors of our belov’d school, Have tried hard to uphold its renown; And again we resolve in our last senior year To make “aim high’’ our motto and rule. Music by Jean Whitworth Words by Rosalind Milter 58 a a a The Garnet and White LOOKIN’ ’EM OVER with G. B. N. Just a farewell glance around. We wonder what you’ll all do when we seniors have left. I beg pardon? Diana Crosson’s a smooth little singer, but why must she be “tormented?” There’s something amusing about the fact that Bob Ratchford got the highest mark in the safety test in the senior class. We get a kick out of watching a cute little sophomore keep a certain senior boy under her thumb. (She doesn’t play the piano, but 'tis said she partakes of a canter now and then.) Nothing different on Baby Day except the seniors acted natural instead of pre- tending to be grown-up. What punny senior boy wishes every day would be “Babe”y Day? Fun—lookin’ ’em over on Rosedale Avenue with a spotlight. Did you find out with whom F. B. N. was walking home from the play? (I’ll bett’ ’y you can’t—punny.) April brought the reunion of two seniors who have been apart a long time. Where there’s hope, there’s B—. What senior boy had a fight with his girl, went half way home on the bus, changed his mind, and came back to make up? A pleasant surprise—our track season! How did a certain senior girl get that bite on her neck? The Garnet and White a a a 59 WEST CHESTER SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS TEMPLE FESTIVAL About fifteen high schools from Phila- delphia and suburban cities participated in the Temple Choral Festival, sponsored by Temple University. On the afternoon of May 22 each of the high school choruses sang the number it selected. Between the afternoon and the evening programs the visiting choruses were treated to a buffet supper and dance. In the evening all the choruses combined to sing certain numbers' under the direction of a guest conductor. The re- mainder of the evening’s program was furnished by Miss Margaret Harshaw, contralto. The West Chester High School Chorus sang Sanctus by Gounod with Betty Clayton singing the soprano solo. The chorus members made the trip under the direction of Air. Floyd T. Hart. Lucille Kates, ’56 “OH, TO BE A CHILD AGAIN 60 AAA The Garnet and White WEST CHESTER SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BAND SENIOR BAND CONCERT Our West Chester High School band held its annual concert on June 5 at the athletic field. Among the outstanding features on the program were several instrumental solos and novelty numbers. All the selections were delightfully ren- dered and well received by the audience. THE CLASS PLAYS 'I he people who took part in the three class plays are to be congratulated. The sophomore play. Mot Quite Such a Goose, presented first, was very well done; and the humor was well put across. The Pot Boiler, presented by the seniors was also a comedy; the actors and the actresses succeeded in sending the whole auditorium into gales of laughter. The junior play. Grandma Pulls the Strings, although presented last, was not least in the ability displayed or the humor. I he Pol Boiler was chosen to go to Haverford High School as an exchange program, not because of its superiority but because of the originality of the play itself. Hope McCowan, '36 THERE’S MUSIC IN THE AIR What? A Choral Festival. Where? At the Philips Memorial Building, State Teachers College. When? On Monday night, April 20th, 1936. Who? All the schools in Chester County. Purpose? For one school to show the other how well it can sing. Comments: The following schools participated—Avon-Grove, Tredyffrin- Easttown, Downingtown, Oxford, Mal- vern, Chadds Ford, Warwick, Willis- town, East Coventry, East Whiteland, Phoenixville, Spring City, and last, but not least, our own Senior High School. Some of the prettiest songs sung were: Sleepg Hollow Tune, The Green Cathedral, Carmena, and Sanctus. This year’s festival was a success. Marjorie Speer, '37 The Garnet and White a a a 61 WEST CHESTER SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA GONG! Hello, everybody. This is George Terry of the West Chester High School, speaking to you over station WHAT. This morning we have the pleasure of presenting to you the finals of our Amateur contests. First on our program this morning we shall hear the flying fingers of Ruth Pierce, playing a piano selection, Rustle oj Spring. Very good, Ruth! Now we have George Pryor, singing Lost. That was also very good, George. I see the judges will have a hard time deciding upon the winner if this keeps up. Next we have another piano selection, The First l'alse, played by Elizabeth Derry. Now we shall hear the so-called “suicide-song”, (iloomg Sunday, sung by Phyllis Padmore. It seems that the composer of Gloomy Sunday is now sorry that he ever wrote the song because of its fatal effects. Next we have Rhoda Glasco, playing on the piano the piece, Holiday. In con- clusion, Diana Crosson will sing the haunting melody of Tormented. Although he is not in the finals, David Closson will conclude the whole program for us with a trumpet solo. Well, ladies and gentlemen, after much discussion, the judges have decided that the first prize goes to Ruth Pierce and the second prize to Diana Crosson. I’m sure that all of you enjoyed the program; all the participants in the finals did excellently. All we can say to those who did not win is —better luck next time!

I had some Jack Arm- strong ( heaties); but Lianne does not like those, so she had some Bobby Benson (Force). Wc ate our toasted Terry and Ted (Bond bread) with jam, gulped down our Billy and Belly (Sheffield milk), grabbed Mother’s shopping list, and jumped into our Ruoinofl and His I lohn (Chevrolet). First, we stopped at a drug store and got some Eddie Cantor (Pebeco) and some Alert and Marge (Wrigley’s spearmint). Next, we went to the hardware store and bought a can of Smilin’ lid AlcConell (Lin-x). After this we went to the grocery store. Here w'e bought some Buck Rogers (Cream of Wheat) for a neighbor-woman’s ba- by; some Popeye (Wheatcna); some Dick Poioetl (Campfiell’s tomato soup): some Singing Lady (Kellogg's Rice Krispies); and some Kate Smith (A. P. coffee). From here we went to a cigar store and liought some Pick ’« Pat (Dill’s best) (for the neighlxir woman’s hus- band this time). Then we noticed that the gasoline tank was a little empty, so we decided to fill er up. We didn’t know whether to get some Phil Baker (Gulf) or some (Any Lombardo (Esso); so we com- promised and filled up with Beatrice Lilley (Mobile). A couple of blocks farther on we met oneofLiannc’scharming friends who was looking rather green about the gills. It turned out that he had tried some of his father’s Lily Pons (Chesterfields). We drove him to a drug store where we f;ot some things that we had forgotten lefore: that is, some Singin' Sam (Barbasol) and some Voice oj Experi- ence (Musterole) for a cold Lianne had suddenly developed for going out with- out her coat. We also bought a tube ot Amos ’n Andy (Pcpsodent). By this time we were feeling a little hungrv, so we stopped at a restaurant for a bite to eat. We started with a George Burns and Grade Allen (Camp- liells’ tomato juice) cocktail. We had some Frank Cruniel and Julia Sander- son (Bond bread) sandwiches and topped it off with some Jack Benny (Jell-o) in six delicious flavors. (Continued in column 6) AH BOO!!! Know what?

Here is all that we can say: Every minute of the hour, Every hour of the day. We arc always doing lessons In a certain bind of way. Every minute of the hour, Everv hour of the day. B. S., '36 No. 5 ODDS AND ENDS At the end of a year’s time in a big business concern inventory is taken. So, we, the Class of '36, take account of stock. We arc glad to see our “Queen” and “Eddie” are doing nicely, good work, Madalene! Keep it up! As for “Jan” Hunter enough can- not be said. Congratulations on the honors! They are all appropriately due you. We sec we have a deficit. It can l e none other than the absence of our “always - to - be - remembered” friend, Betty Wertz. Whatever she does, we wish her a “happy landing.” Two years ago we had a new ship- ment of stock. This proved to l� e a big gain. It included Janet Miller, George Steele, Harold Barnett and their notable accompaniments. In our dramatic department we find a total profit. This is the third consecu- tive year that we have reached the top in production. So it takes but a glance to assure us that we have had a perfect year. Now that we go out of business here, we sincerely hope our successors will gain even more in achievements be- cause of our profits and losses. Madeline Howlett, '36 TO W. C. II. S. Lost, one class that’s hard to l eat. Lost, to look for other meat; Lost to you, but not gone away. Finders keepers, losers weepers; Lost, this Class of Thirty-six, Found, some juniors who can fix; You lost your class, but you are lucky, too. Because you've found a group that’s new. E. J.

Jeanne Lytell, '37 74 AAA The Garnet and White THE JUNIOR CLASS OF THE WEST CHESTER SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Arrmttpltsltmrnts of tljo Class of ’37 We wonder Just what the Class of '37 has been doing this year. Have they accomplished anything worth while, or have they wasted a year? I should say the former by all means. They have been on the go” and, either as a class or individually, have attained great honors. John Mascintonio, the first boy to win the annual Spelling Contest, is a member of our class. Though no prizes were won by the juniors, many girls of the class participated in the Sara C. Evans Speaking Contest. A few boys also took part in the D. Webster Mere- dith Speaking Contest. The Junior Essay, although not interclass competi- tion, won honors for individuals as follows: first prize, Rosalind Milter; second, Emily Hill; and five honorable mentions, George Boortsales, Eleanor Dutton, Rufus Edwards, Emily Meck- ley, and Anne Powell. The two most important dances of the year, Junior- Senior Prom and the Spring Frolic, were well supported by our class. The Junior Tea was also a great success. Everybody had a lovely time. Even the boys, though tew, seemed to enjoy it—especial- ly the refreshments. The Junior Class Play must not be slighted. The actors did a fine job in amusing the students in an assembly program. Evelyn Chey- ney, Diana Crosson, Martha Brinton, Delmar Miller, Barbara Lewis, and Anna Miller take the cake for doing excell- ent work in the play, “Grandma Pulls the String” (Diana Crosson was Grand- ma, in case you would like to know). Diana distinguished herself not only as an actress but also as a torch singer. She won second place in an amateur program, also given in assembly. A few members of our class had minor parts in the Senior High Dramatic production Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Ilall. We must not forget to mention that our class was represented in all of the clubs; and that several were officers. 1 he president of the class as a whole is Harlan Saylor; the vice-president, Anne Powell; secretary, Eleanor Dutton; Treasurer, Warren Frame. Each home room has its class treasurers who have done well in seeing that the dues were paid up-to-date. In History Club Anne Powell is vice-president and Jayne Jefferis is secretary. Emilie Pollock is vice-president of French Club and presi- dent of junior Latin Club, while Eleanor Dutton is secretary of junior Latin Club. The Garnet and White a a a 75 Dramatic Club is honored in having Douglas Campbell for its treasurer. Anne Powell is vice-president of Girls’ A. A. and Martha Brinton is the assistant secretary. The secretary of Tap Dancing Club is Virginia McFarland. Cheer- leading is represented by several mem- bers of the junior class; and, though no girls are “letter-men”, they hope to be next year. Anne Powell was secretary of the Student Cooperative Council the first semester and Eleanor Dutton, the second semester. Our class is also represented in hockey, football, track, basketball (both boys’ and girls’) and girls’ volleyball. We have done our best to help make this class a success, and we have added to the spice and the pep of the year by everyone’s contributing all he had to further the interests of the school.

The Garnet and White a a a 77 A JUNIOR’S DAY 5:30 A..11.—Here I am awake in the middle of the night with no good reason. It must be my conscience or coffee nerves. It can’t be coffee nerves, because I hate the stuff! It might be my con- science, however; but 1 never even get a suggestion of a chance to be anything but angelic in school. Oh well, no use wasting time when I might be sleeping. 7:00—Gosh, there goes the alarm clock. Did I ever jump! that’s right I have to study for a history test. It’s plain to see that I can’t get my eyes open; and if I can’t get my eyes open, I can't read ; if I can’t read, I can’t study. Therefore, I’ll go back to sleep. 8:05—Of all days to over-sleep! Why didn’t someone make sure I was awa ke when they called me? 1 hey should know by this time that I can’t hear a thing when I’m asleep! What shall I wear? Who hid the comb? The inventor of spring house cleaning is the world’s worst enemy. 8:23—Gee, these halls are deserted. That last flight of steps just about finished me after having run full speed the last two blocks. I can feel it in my bones that I’m late—nothing like start- ing the day off with a bang, you know. I f only someone else were late, too, I wouldn’t feel so conspicuous walking in the room. 8:24} %—Believe it or not, I made it and set a new speed record. 8:30—Now to settle down to do all those lessons I should have done last night. Come to think of it—it seems to me that I had something else to do this morning. Now I know. It’s History Club! Something always comes along when I have work to be done. My reputation will soon be like a flat tire! 9:12—Here goes! I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope she doesn’t call on me. 9:30—This must be my lucky day. Half the period is over, and she doesn t even know I’m here. 9:31—No such luck! Did I ever feel simple when she asked me that one. I couldn’t even guess the answer! 10:51—Ah, at last I’m going into a class where I know most of the answers. I hope he’s in good humor because I feel like enjoying myself. I’ve decided that mine aren’t the only white shoes that look as though they hadn’t been cleaned since last year. 11:50—Well, I’m on the home stretch now. Work, work, work, and then home- work. I wonder what the teachers do when they’re not in school besides getting work for us to do? They are probably up all night trying to find mere work for us, and we are up all the next night trying to do it. They don’t seem to think much of the health of our com- ing generation. 12:00 P.M.—What tempting smells! I’ll bet a purple Christmas tree it’s soup! Yes, vegetable soup. If it’s a fresh batch, I’ll take it; if not, I’ll take it anyway. 12:07—If the bell doesn’t ring soon, I’ll be too weak to sprint to the door. 12:13—From the look I just got from across the aisle, you’d think I was the one who was rumbling inside like a cement mixer. 12:14—Only sixty long seconds left until the big rush of the day. There goes the bell, and here I go! 12:50—Some more fun! I’ve been here waiting for an hour (almost), and I can’t even see any food. It felt fine to walk in front of those little sophomores. Then just as I step ahead of someone, someone steps in front of me. These seniors who think they run the school are funny, until the faculty puts them in their place. 1:00—I just spent an uncomfortable half-hour arguing over how many eggs a chicken lays a day. We decided that it’s up to the chicken. 1:05—Back to the old grind again. This is getting worse than a game of monopoly. 78 a a a The Garnet and White I :50—I might as well go to the library this period. That’s about the coolest place. I’ve seen all the magazines with pictures in them; so I’ll try to read some “deep stuff.” Here’s hoping I don’t get indigestion! 2:17—Now' that I’ve had a glimpse of “high ideals ”, I’ll come down to earth for a little fun. Miss Chandler’s clock used to have an alarm. That sounds interesting. Just my luck—someone else has been tinkering with it, and the alarm doesn’t work. 2:20—I spent the rest of the period with my own thoughts (just plain day- dreaming.) 2:35—T his undressing and dressing for gym class is more bother than getting up in the morning! 3:15—I just know I won’t get to home room before he takes the attend- ance, so there’s no use hurrying. Some kind soul will tell him I’m on my way. 3:30—I must see a woman about some homework—not a man about a dog. 5:00—I was willingly chased out of her room for today at least. If the weather stays this hot, I simply must have some new clothes. Perhaps I’ll have time to do a little window shopping on the way home. 6:15—Eat again. That’s one thing for which I live. 7:00 It’s always harder to begin than it is to stop. Lessons mean homework, and it must be done. 8:00—The pile is growing slowly smaller. 8:30—If today is the 27th, I have a book report due tomorrow which I ha ven’t even started. I’m afraid to look! It is! ! What have I ever done to deserve such cruelty? If I get the first and last chapters read, I’ll be thankful. If I can write the report before morning, it’s a miracle! Such is life, but what a life! 1:05 A.At.—I’m just about asleep, but it’s beginning to look like a book report. Anne Powell, '37 Alice Strode, ’37 HAND-ME-DOWNS OF ’37 We, the Class of 1937, feeling some- what sad about leaving the berth of Juniors, do hereby hand down to the Class of 1938 the following privileges in the West Chester High School: 1.

Beware, you sophomores; Guard well your wandering feet. Tread not the sacred steps— You may land in the street. Rose Lack, ’37 Activities The Class of 1938 has to its credit many feats of scholastic and athletic ability. At the first meeting of the sophomore class the following officers were elected: President—Willard Ronk Vice President—Dorothy Gordy Secretary—Marion Powell Treasurer—Jack Johnson Ruth Pierce tied for the first honors in the Sara C. Evans Speaking Contest, a feat unusual for a sophomore. The boys competing in the D. Webster Meredith contest were: William Barry, Marvin Weiss, and Jack Regester. Al- though none of them won, their speaking predicts greater things in the future. The sophomore class was well repre- sented in the annual high school play— Doro hi Vernon oj Haddon Hall. The participants were: Willard Ronk, Vernon Bates, Marvin Weiss, Virginia Moore, Ruth Pierce, and Barbara Hoopes. Further acting ability was well brought out in the sophomore class play, A ol Quite Such a Goose, by Pearl Martin, Leila Tripp, Anne Clayton, Vernon Bates, and Willard Ronk. The sopho- more essay prize was won by Ruth Pierce whose topic was “The Last Leaf.” Willard Ronk won second prize. We were well represented in football, track, baseball, hockey, volleyball, tennis, and basketball. This is a warning to the present juniors to watch out for us next year.

Keep that “peppy” personality you ob- tained in Junior High—you’ll need it. Behave yourselves, and you’ll get along well with your teachers (not too well, however). Love thy rival”—Keep this in mind. It’s really more important than vou think. Don’t try to get too popular all at once— take it slow and easy.” Act sophisticated, and you’ll be surpris- ed how far you’ll get. Cut out that childish stuff. It just doesn’t work in this day and age. Although we may sound like “Voice of Experience”, we’re really not; but you’ll have to admit that we ought to know.

Why do I think Henry is a student? Henry carrier many becks. Are all people who carry books students? Henry is. What books is Henry carrying? Henry has a Latin book, a dictionary, two notebooks, and a French text. Does he always carry that many? Oh, my yes—why today he is traveling light. Did anyone ever see Henry open his books? Yes, once he pressed flowers in his French book. If he doesn’t open his books, why does he carry them? Henry’s left shoulder is higher than his right shoulder; by carrying 14 books home each evening, he hopes to correct this defect. Does Henry have any other detects? Henry is not a mental Giant either. Why hasn’t he corrected his mental de- fects? Henry believes in “a sound mind in a sound body.” So what? Well, at present he is developing a sound body.

In the fall we started with hockey and volleyball. Our winter sport was basketball. In the spring we had paddle tennis, tennis, baseball, track, and field. Tournaments were arranged in each of these sports. A large group of girls turned out for each sport. 'I he girls were enthusiastic and have learned much from these out- side activities. We thank Miss Strick- land for having made possible these sports. Nancy Jefferis, IX THE NEWSBOY CLUB Another successful and enjoyable year with the Newsboy Club has passed. The first meeting was held in October, at which time the sponsors, Mrs. Pen- rose and Miss Girton, named Ruth Saylor and Donald Prutzman as editors. The business managers were Tony Guillio and Howard Hemphill. The following people have been our very alert reporters for the past year: Elinor Zimmerman, Constance Dean, Barbara Logan, Edna Taylor, Nancy Jefferis, Robert Baldwin, Virginia Wynn, Jane Head, Wilmer Hunt, John Hershey, Beverly Field, Richard Kerwin, Kathryn Brittingham, Virginia Aspinall, and Robert Aspinall. It was decided that the club should meet the second and fourth Fridays, and should publish a Newsboy every other I uesday. These plans have been carried out with much interest by the staff and sponsors. I he A ewsboy is assembled and mimeo- graphed by hand. The assignments are made and discussed at the club meeting. I he corrected articles are sent to Mr. Fisher’s office to be typed. After this process the editors plan the dummy. After the stencils are typed, they are sent to the business managers to be mimeographed. I he pages are then assembled, and the junior high students receive the finished Newsboy. Speaking for the staff of the Newsboy, the editors feel that they owe their thanks to the people of Junior High School who helped to make the paper a success. Ruth Saylor, IX The Garnet and White a ▲ ▲ 87 NOVEMBER When I turned the pages of my dairy, I suddenly came upon the dates, November 22 and 23, 1935. 1 his called to my mind many happy occasions which the cast of the Junior High Play, Grow- ing Pains, enjoyed. The play is a story of two adolescents, Terry and George McIntyre. Terry in spite of her age is still a tomboy at the age of fifteen, and George shows the first symptoms of love. The lines of these two, along with those of the rest of the cast, amused the audience. The parents especially enjoy- ed it because it was true to life. The young friends of the cast enjoyed it because of the amusing lines and inter- esting plot. One may think it was all drudgery for the cast, but it was not all the time. One night the cast had the pleasure of attending the same play in Quakertown given by a senior high school group. They also had many delightful refresh- ments at some of the rehearsals. 1 he cast enjoyed working and had much pleasure planning the party scene. I he cast hoped everyone enjoyed the play and had his money's worth. Those who took part are the following: George McIntyre.. Terry McIntyre. . . Mrs. McIntyre. Professor McIntyre Mrs. Patterson....

We read, and then we cry; But some with joyous laughter ring, While others make us stare and sigh. We go to foreign lands, Where we have never been; And vision hot dry sands.

The following West Chester graduates have received honors in various fields, and they should be highly commended for such fine showings: Samuel Barber, ’26, was honored for the second successive time with $1500 Pulitzer Prize scholarship. This is awarded annually to a student of music in United States who may be deemed most talented and deserving” to enable him to continue his studies in Europe. His composition will be played in Rome and later in this country. Ann Whitcraft, '33, was recently elected president of the Worren’s Ath- letic Association at Swarthmore College. She is also captain of the basketball team, president of the second hall in Parish”, the girls’ dormitory, and one of the four editors of Phoenix, the college paper. A record to be proud of, Ann! Frances Matthew’s, '33, was in charge of activities for May Day at Wilson The Garnet and White ▲ a a 91 College. She was also attendant to the Queen. Marjorie T. Chambers,’33, was elected treasurer of the Women’s Student Government at Drexel Institute. Dorothy Wallace, '33, was selected as the 1936 representative from W. C. S. T. A. for the title of Pocono Laurel Princess. She is the first Laurel Princess to be selected here by popular vote. Eight of the nine officers elected for 1936-37 of the Day Students’ Division of the Women’s Student Government Association of the W. C. S. T. C. are alumnae of W. C. H. S. They are: president, Florence Shepherd, ’33; vice- president, Priscilla Alden, '33; secretary, M ary Weir, ’34; Junior Councilors, Marguerite Hagemans, ’34; Anna Mary McNeal, ’34, Mary Snyder, ’34; and Sophomore Councilor, Ruth Robinson, '35. That’s a fine showing. Congratulations are also in order to Theodore “Ted” Rogers, ’33, who was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honorary fraternity. It is a great honor to become a member, especially in one’s junior year. THE ALUMNI BANQUET The forty-first annual banquet of the West Chester High School Alumni Asso- ciation was held on Saturday evening, April 11, 1936, in the Philips Memorial Building of the State Teachers College. The decoration followed the school colors, garnet and white. After the invo- cation had been offered by Mr. Walter L. Philips, a delicious meal was partaken of by the guests. It consisted of cream of mushroom soup, roast turkey, candied sweet potatoes, iced celery, olives, but- tered cauliflower, pineapple and cream cheese salad, cherry pie with cheese, coffee, and hot rolls. A word of welcome was extended by Linwood C. Hannum, president and toastmaster. Charles Henderson, ’35, was the first speaker. He delivered a very clever and amusing talk, “Just a Freshman , in which he gave his opinion of college life. He was followed by Mr. Ashton B. T. Smith, ’21, who delivered Remarks about his class. Miss Marie Tapper, ’28, then rendered two vocal solos, “Life” and “Daffodil Gold”, ar.d as an encore sang “Once in a Blue Moon.” She was accompanied by Charles Hen- derson. Thomas C. Gawthrop, '24, spoke on “Looking Forward.” He was followed by Mr. W. W. MacElree, '75, first president and honored guest at the banquet. Mr. MacElree spoke on “Looking Backward”, a very humorous talk of high school in his day. Miss Marguerite Biddison, recording secre- tary, read the minutes written in 1874 in which the idea for founding the Alum- ni Association was contained. Mr. B. Reed Henderson, a guest of the evening, was called on to make a speech. He asked the people not to judge all the high school students by the actions of some. He said that if some students do drive an automobile eighty or ninety miles an hour they are not to blame for, after all, it is the older generation who demand the auto. Mr. Walter L. Philips, called on to say a few words, spoke of the new build- ing which is being erected. He mention- ed the new conveniences it will include: a gym, classrooms, heating plant, etc. Mr. Charles S. Swope, president of the State Teachers College and another guest, expressed his thanks and those of Mrs. Swope for the invitation extended them. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing cards and in dancing to the music of “Bob” 1 homson’s orchestra. Flora Papier, ’36 92 a a a The Garnet and White THIS year we have had a large Exchange department, and we want to extend our thanks to all those schools which have sent us copies of their publications. We have tried to make fair and helpful suggestions and have profited (we hope) by any sug- gestions made to us. We have certainly enjoyed reading magazines and papers from other schools, and we trust that these same papers will be sent to us next year. One of the most interesting parts of a school paper is its poetry section. The two poems published here fur- nish excellent examples. The Upi-Dah of Upper Darby, Pa., gives us this one: FUTILITY A kingdom I built upon the shore; Dug dungeons as in days of yore; Sent match-box ships to foreign lands; Hoisted my flag above the sands. Until the sun went down. With peaceful dreams through the night I slept, While ocean’s waves, soft whispering, crept Up to my stronghold made of sand And crushed it all with ruthless hand. I own an empty crown. The last one is from the Panorama, hailing from Binghamton, N. Y. MEMORIES When time, who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasure, too. The memory of the past will stay And half our joys renew. ' From other schools have come com- ments about our own Garnet and White. “Garnet and White from West Ches- ter, Pennsylvania, how do you keep track of your alumni the way you do; it’s worth while, though, and so are your editorials.—Echo, CallicoonllighSckcol.” “Garnet and White of West Chester, Pennsylvania,your magazine is excellent. Your interviews section is especially interesting.—Canadian, Cascade H. S., Cascade, Idaho.” Since all schools must have jokes, here are a few from neighboring schools. We thought our puns were bad—how’s this one? “Support your golf team by buying Tetley teas.” And as for poetry; “And now we have wee Scotch Glading On chairs he is usually sadding (could I stood it?) One day in chem class He smashed an eye glass Now he wears a monocle.” Spotlight from Coatesville II. S. More puns: “G.: How many mints does the U. S. have? A.: Three. Spearmint, Doublemint, Peppermint.” Upi-Dah from Upper Darby H. S. And relating to our recent safety course: “The motorist who hits me will certainly be sorry,” said the dusty pedestrian. “I’m carrying a stick of dynamite in my pocket.” Panorama, Binghamton, N.Y., H.S. We’re still wondering about this head- line from the Campionetle, Prairie du Chien, Wis.: “Many Past Men in Track Turnout.” Eleanor Jackson, ’36 The Garnet and White a a a 93 • rhnlastir Honors ANNUAL SPEAKING CONTESTS The I).

Another year has added a link to the glory of the Garnet and White. A devoted staff has completed another successful production. Our policy this year has been to create as we maintained—to create greater interest and to create greater articles; to maintain former followers and to maintain the fine standards set tor us. Several new features have been successful: an Inter- view section, a students’ Forum and a Book Review column. A very specific attempt was made to improve The Wisecracker. A larger Dots and Dashes section strove to arouse greater interest among the commercial groups. Art work made its own mark in each publication. A most valiant effort was made to increase and to vary the range of contributors through the English department’s Garnet and White day when contributions were made an assignment. To our supporters we express a genuine thanks; to our advertisers, a most sincere gratitude which made possible our Garnet and White. It is with regret that we lay aside our worn pens. Our experience has been a most pleasing and valuable one. If we can feel that this year has attained the ends toward which we strove, our efforts have been worthwhile. So we leave you to take our places. Alay the future of your Garnet and White be an unending chain of glory!
