ADMINISTRATION AND CURRICULA Wily Wyoming? lllN August, 1843, a resolution was passed 1n the Oneida Conference To establish within its borders 2 Sem- inary of Christian Learning. At the time of the establishment of the Seminary, the founders probably did not have within their range of vision a school whose organization would encompass the functions which the Seminary at present performs, but while the Seminary has probably grown beyond the vision of its fathers, it has remained true to their purposes in the following particulars. It has always insisted that its work must be inspired by the principles of the Christian religion and that its life and the lives of its faculty and students must be characterized by the principles of Christian living. It also has always maintained that its scholastic life must depend upon the principles of sound scholarship, and it has never been content to rest at any level in its effort toward this goal. It has reached upward to higher levels as the educational standards of our country have risen to higher levels, and today is holding its place in the van of secondary edu- cational progress. Wyoming Seminary has been coeducational from its inception. Young men and young women live together in the natural environment which they would obtain in a well-regulated home and are mutually beneiited by an association which is protected by wise, understanding chaperonage. While the school offers vocational and cultural courses of great con- sequence, its principal function 18 preparing young men and women for college with an ultimate view of having them enter some life- work which will be recognized as world service in its broadest meaning. The school 5 0371;, Wyoming? graduates are accepted in all of the country,s leading colleges. During the past four years Wyoming Seminary graduates have secured admission to nfty-six different colleges, and have sustained themselves and the repu- tation of their preparatory school with credit. Wyoming graduates are found in constructive occupations all over the world-business, profes- sional life, Christian ministry, foreign missions, all have been helpfully recruited from the ranks of Wyoming Seminary graduates. The school has done good work in preparing students for colleges which admit only by examination and has an increasingly large number pass the Board examinations every year. Its equipment admits of a Health Education program Which enables every boy and girl to develop not only strong, healthy bodies but a knowl- edge of sport and the spirit of sportsmanship which are necessary to success in our civilization as it exists today. The principal vocational courses are those given in our College of Business. From this valuable unit of our school many of Wyoming Valleyls leading business men have come to the first position which started them toward their present successes. The wise direction which this branch of the school'has enjoyed for so many years has contributed much toward its present enviable position. Departments of Home Economics, Art, Public Speaking, and Music, have maintained levels quite on a par with that of the school as a whole. A sound body, a sound mind, healthy morals, lofty Christian ideals, directed ultimately toward unselfish service are the motives which justify its existence. i I251 is! :-:.e:ulu135 .- ' .e tfl DOCTOR L. L. SPRAGUE There is an influence in Seminary which is felt by everyone. This is the magnetic personality of our President, Dr. Sprague. Every student feels honored to have come in contact with such a truly great man. His admirable spirit shall always dominate those departed from Wyoming. LHLgMOLQ E261 The quominq 1931 DEAN W. H. FLECK The greatest influence on the daily lives of students at Wyoming Seminary is Without doubt the Dean. Dean Fleck is held in the highest respect by everyone, both for his strict justice and his great understanding of even the most trivial every day problems. I271 The - Wyoming 1 9 3' 1 MISS E. E. FOSTER, Prcceptn'ss Miss Foster, preceptress, and also teacher in the Mathematics Department, is the medium through Which culture, rehnement and true greatness are brought to the girls. During her five years here she has influenced many by her exceilent philosophy to deveiop the finest and best in them.

The Court constitutes a group of competent stu- dents, elected from the student body, and the faculty adviser, Professor Adams. This body is at all times desirous of raising Seminary standards and is ever active in bringing about a hner sense of honesty in individuals. Furthermore, each member of the student body has a responsibility in the matter, for he signs an honor pledge. In this pledge he promises that he Will neither give nor receive help during any type of formal test or examination, and that he Will, in addition, cobperate With the honor body by every means at his command in promoting ideals of integrity and uprightness. On each paper handed in by a pupil the honor pledge must be signed. If a student is suspected and accused of Violation of any phase of the code, he is taken before the Honor Court, whose function it is to pass judgment upon the innocence or guilt of the offender. Because of the untiring efforts of its members the Honor Court has had remarkable success in the past. It is hoped that the prosperous work carried on so far may prove to be but a specimen of the future achieve- ments of this system. Seated Heft t0 righti: Margaret Jayne, E.

It is a gigantic masterpiece of intricate, sym- metrical construction. Upon its smooth side one sees emblazoned in hery letters, iiWyoming Seminary? It soars smoothly into the sky, its silver body outlined in pleasing contrast against the deep blue of the sky and the foamy white clouds. What is it that controls this perfect co- ordination? It is a flying corps of student pilots. Miss Kolpin is the bearer of the search light which illuminates the course of the plane Which is being guided by the group. Alethea Jones is the head pilot and Margaret Jayne is the keeper of the records of the various flights conducted under the councilis instruction. All the finan- cial affairs are managed by Jean Biesecker and Ellen Laramy, substitutes for head pilot Jones in her absence. Anne Jackson, Mary G. Parke, and Ruth T. Pealer are the non-Commissioned pilots Who serve as hrst aides about the plane. This body conducts the festivities at the Air Port Inn at Halloween. This fete is always a gay affair. The members of this group also aid as intermediaries between the highest authority of the air plane, the faculty, and the student flyers. As the plane swoops up, perfect in motion, one realizes that it is to this governing body that we owe such exquisite motion.

MN days when boys under nineteen wore knickers and when Swetlanditef displayed pig-tails, a chance occurrence was destined to alter Wyoming Seminaryts student govern- ment. One of the inhabitants of the fourth floor was, one cold wintry morning, secretly and deliberately brought from dreamland with icy con- tents of a bucket of water. Several others had undergone a similar unfor- tunate experience and were seeking revenge. So, this individual banded the others together into a society by the name of Kwok-Kwhokf, mean- ing in the authentic hieroglyphic, that you,ll get yours? However, the disastrous results of these ladsh horse play caused the school to become aware of the fact that student government was needed. Now we have the Boysh Student Council, which, besides regulating their conduct, offers a medium of appeal for the entire male student group. All petitions are welcomed and, having been discussed, are referred to the faculty for consideration. This organization plays a very important part in the social life of the school. With the c06peration of the Girls, Student Council, it spon- sors annually the Halloween and Christmas parties. For the immense joy and entertainment which has been given us at Wyoming, we wish to give thanks to both councils. English 6iifHE importance of English study is attested by the fact that it is the one study in the school curriculum Which is pursued by all boys and girls in the academic department through- out the four years at Wyoming. The aim of the English Department is twofold. By a judicious choice of various types of literature we strive, first of all, to interest the students in H. F. BROWN. BA, books for their own sake, in others words, to teach Swim liiiiglmhigh? Ens appreciation. Unquestionably the moral and spirit- i ' ual values inherent in good books are instrumental in the building of character. Of this truth we are ever mindful. The chief purpose, however, of the work in English is to give the student an effective mastery of English as a tool, both in speech and in writing. A reverence for the dignity of sound speech and the beauty of well-ordered words in writing is perhaps the final test of culture. Grad- uates of Wyoming have this reverence. 93ml; THE French Department of Wyoming Seminary purposes to give to the student both a reading and a speaking knowledge of the F rench language. With these points in view, con- versation has been emphasized. Through constant drill in grammar, writing sentences and connected prose, the student is made familiar With the idio-- matic expressions and such expressions as are P H- BURTv B-A- . . . Rrrl Year French, pecullar to th1s language. Havmg mastered the 2nd Yenir French grammar and gained some vocabulary, the student is drilled in expressing his thoughts through ordi- nary conversation in the classroom. In addition to this drill in grammar , and conversation, such books as Lotiis Pecheur d ilslomde, Zolais LiAttaque du M onlin and Dumast La Tulips; Noire are translated and studied. These courses prepare the student for the College Board examinations or for entrance to college by certification. il 71? a mt H i h 3. o zi gamma 6023 5,04th CIHE work of the Depart- ments of German and Spanish comprises a three- year program, the aims of both departments being in agreement With those outlined in the Report of the Committee of Twelve of the Modern Language Association of America and the College Entrance Examination Board. Correct pronunciation is stressed; constant drill is given on grammatical L. G. SAMPSON . . .

The reading of graduated texts is the chief concern of the second and third years, some three hundred pages being covered during the second year and about five hundred during the third. The memorization of short poems, dictation of short articles of moderate difficulty, and com- position work, in Which the pupil is enabled to use his knowledge with facility in the formation of sentences, complete the requirements. greet JUZJ Eafirz GJKHE work in Greek and Latin is arranged to meet the needs of students preparing for college and desiring a thorough train- ing in linguistic study. The work of the first two years consists of constant drill and frequent reviews of the forms and syntax. The authors read in the third and fourth years are treated as literary mas- w.

It is also desired that the student become familiar With classical life. An effort is made to give the student such an acquaintance With the languages that he will be able to read at sight any passage of average difficulty. Exercises in Greek and Latin Prose are required regularly throughout the course. Mathematics CJEHE entire course of Mathe- matics covers five years after Arithmetic is com- pleted. Classes in Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry are organized each Semester. In the first Semester of the first year the course includes the four fundamental operations in Algebra, factor- ing, divisors and multiples, and the solution of simple equations with one unknown quantity and problems. The Second Semester includes fractions, equations with two or more unknown quantities with further work in problems, involution, and some work in the theory of exponents. The First J. A.

Sciences GJlfHE Natural Sciences come bine the practical cultural values in education to an excellent degree. If one may think of education as adjustment to ones environment, the study of Science is preeminently adapted to this end. By environment we do not mean simply the natural phenomena which constitute our physical surround- ings, but those things which contribute to our in- tellectual and spiritual improvement. While Science does contribute immensely to manis physical well- being, it also equals other subjects in its contempla- WM. E.

These include Amer- ican History and Civics, Ancient History, English History, Medieval and Modern History, and Modern European History. So far as time will permit in these courses, the magnificent pageantry 0f the past is revealed as part of the rising action of the great drama of mants progress. The inspirational and constructive influence of the leaders who have from age to age ever sought a more satisfactory civilization is stressed. Current events are correlated with the past to clarify the more remote problems. In all, the ever-present hope is to remove history from a matter of words, texts, and dust to a living reality. $561114; 6023 Thyslcal Caucafion GIHE aims of physical edu- cation grow out of the instinctive activities of child- hood and may be briefly stated as follows: The pro- motion of normal growth; the development of those fundamental traits of character which have a direct relation to society; the development of personal traits such as self-confidence, self-control, and mental and moral poise; to create in youth an in- telligent and healthful interest in physical activity that will carry over into adult life; and to form in early life those habits which will tend toward the conservation of health, and to provide instruction in the science of health and the means by which-it may be secured. To aid in the attainment of these objectives, Wyoming Seminary is most adequately equipped with two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, and an Wyoming Golleqe of gusiness CJIFHE Wyoming College of Business is unexcelled in successfully preparing students for places in the business world. This important branch of Wyoming Seminary offers eX- cellent opportunities to those who wish to obtain a thorough, practical, business knowledge. It is a course without which no person should be found lacking, regardless of the pursuit in life which he W. L. DEAN, M.A. intends to follow. A large measure of the success Dean of Bus. College, of this department can be attributed to its princi- C. iCWPWW 1W . lVll Rights. Penmanship pal, Professor Willis L. Dean, whose contact With the student body of this institution for the past forty-eight years has not only instilled in them a knowledge of every-day business methods, but also high ideals, and the inspiration to do some- thing worth-while, thus helping to mould many a successful life. He is assisted by Professor E. E. Quay, an instructor whose capabilities for teaching are so widely renowned as to require very little further comment. L. N. Crispell and G. C. Meiss are also very able instructors who have helped make this department the success for which it is so well known. In the departments of Shorthand and Typewriting, students are care- fully trained in the requirements of practical stenography. In the short- hand division, both the Ben Pittman and Gregg system of shorthand are being used. The typewriting rooms are well equipped with the very latest and best makes of typewriters on the market, and, in addition to them, there are found many other modern, time-saving machines, which add so - much to the efficiency of the business office of to-day. The instruction received in this department is of incommensurable value in preparing students for important positions in the business world. The department is under the careful supervision of Miss Roy, who together with Miss Holbrook, Miss Keenly and Miss Cochran, comprise the staff of instruc- tors of very superior qualifications, widely experienced in the business world as well as in the teaching profession. Graduates of this department may be found among the most success- ful business men and women throughout this entire nation. In the banks of Wyoming Valley alone, there are more than a hundred former students of the college ranging from bookkeepers to presidents. Graduates of this department are highly enthusiastic in their praise for this course to per- sons who are contemplating to enroll in it. The Wyoming College of Busi- ness has long proved its worth as an invaluable asset to the present-day business world. T .2 xx , 91 art 'Tik GllfHE course of study, al- though designed for beginners, is conformed to the practice of the best Art schools and provides a thorough preparation for those who wish to devote themselves to the study of Art. Special training is given to students who Wish to become teachers of drawing. u. H. BROWN, 3.1m. The course in the History of Art is of interest Am Mew ' Whlg and value, not only to the Art students, but to any Who wish to prepare for European travel. The courses in Linear Perspective and Artistic Anatomy are thoroughly practical. The instruction in Drawing and Painting is entirely individual, and students advance according to ability. The course in Design is of special value, as it includes the application of design to articles of use, such as calendars, portfolios, etc. It also includes a course in leather tooling. Expression EXPRESSION has to do with the very essence of the individual, and is, at first and always, a growth, not an acquisition. Whatever else the study of literature should include, it would seem there could be no doubt as to the necessity of its carrying to the students heart, as well as mind, its great human thought and feeling; and, if poetry, its beauty of musical expression as well. MRS, W. A, P.

Much can be said of the splendid work done by both teachers and students of the various branches of this department, but space will not permit a de- tailed account of the progress made. J- HARRISON Director of glusic, Piano, . . . Pii r'nu. It is well to stress, at thls tlme, the value of Theol; of ansic good music. Appreciation of music, like everything, is one of the requisites for the ultimate aim and goal of each individual, namely, the highest type of citizenship. Therefore, let us nurse every spark of musical desire and kindle a flame that may possibly become, figuratively speaking, a great consuming fire of the soul, radiating a warmth and communicating to others that which is noblest in life, through this the greatest of Ian- guages-music. giame 8conomics HOME ECONOMICS teaches girls the basic principles of household management. They plan, prepare, and serve meals; they study methods of planning, furnishing, and managing the home. Among other things, they learn not only to select and care for clothing, but to make their own garments. To prove to others that they really do acquire much valuable knowledge, the girls prepare and serve a dinner to the faculty. They also give M' E- RICHARDS- - . . . B.Sl, M.A. several teas durlng the year, and in this way obtain Home Economics valuable training. Every year the public is in- vited to an exhibit of articles, made by the girls, at the end of the term. At the head of this department is Miss Marion Richards, of Weston, West Virginia, who received her early training in the art of domestic science at the University of West Virginia and at Columbia.

Our Silent Sentinels Oils I watch the intricate construction and work of the magnihcent airplane, 'Wyoming, I am inclined to consider for a while the forces which stand behind all this. I watch the huge silver body, blue and white Wings rise into the air, and I wonder who sees that all the trusty air men are fed. I ask myself who tends to the business matters of the craft. Who keeps the books of all the work- ings of such a great plane? I am certain that someone must do these things, because no creation, however splendid and exquisitely wrought, is able to stand without a foundation. Further pursuing my thoughtful questioning, I ask one of the head pilots just who it is that serves as a foundation for this air ship, Wyoming. That head pilot smiles with satisfaction as he informs me who it is that does this task so well. To manage the business of our plane we have, I am told, Mr. Holmes, bookkeeper. No plane could leave the port of Wyoming Seminary without feeling itself under the staunch auspices of Mr. Holmes, who keeps a trusty record of the finances and flights of the plane. Assisting in the matter of business, there are also Head Pilot Fleck,s secretary, Miss Hines, and Most Honored Master Pilot Dr. Sprague,s secretary, Miss Golomb. There is not an air-minded person on the whole ship who does not know of Miss Maxfield,s genius. She is the woman who satisfies our appe- tites with many tempting dishes. It is a well known fact that no other plane receives as fine food as ours. Upon every holiday Miss Maxfield makes the dining room radiant with the spirit of that special day. For instance, at Christmas time, we all found a miniature Santa Claus with his sleigh and reindeer upon each table. These parties help to bring a delightful atmosphere into the routine of our school life. Although these important, fundamental factors of the Wyomingk stability may often pass unseen, their influence is always felt throughout the entire plane and by all the would-be pilots. Always silent and patiently endeavoring to forward the progress of everyone, this group acts as a beacon-light, still, serene, dependable. This light casts its bright gleam upon a path which leads onward into eternity, and some- how we feel that without its help the airplane would crash into horrible darkness. amt? 4,, SENIORS GZdSS 80W tMusic from The Student Princetteby Rombergh Hail! Hail! Hail to Wyoming! Hail! Wetre leaving the school that wehve loved. Hail! Hail! Hail to love that we pledge to her as we join in our song. Sing a song to the colors we knew; Proudly we sing to the white and the blue. We shall always revere her name And honor her in lasting fame, So, let,s fight for her still! Her name always will thrill. Hail! Hail! Hail! Let everyone pledge to Wyoming once more! Shout! Shout! Shout for Wyoming! Neter forget her wherever We go. Shout! Shout! Shout! for colors as blue as the sky and as white as the snow. Sing once more as we bid her good-bye! Pledge once more to her hallowed halls, Her stately trees and iVied walls. Shout our song to the sky! Fling her banner on high! Hail! Hail! Hail! Let everyone pledge to Wyoming once more! eBaring Coughlin 616m ?oem Once into Wyoming,s Portals Came we, eager to behold, That of Which the lesser mortals Known as freshmen had been tolde Stately halls and verdant campus, Filled With joy and truth complete, Ruled by those Whose friendly justice Did so well their learning'teach. Since that day wetve learned to hail thee As our Alma Mater fair, In whom sons and daughters proudly Do a living faith declare. Under thine ennobling guidance We have trod in paths of light, Seeking more and more a likeness To the inspired ideal; of right. Now we leave thee, Our Wyoming, Now those joyous days are der, For the oft-heard bell is ringing This the final, closing hour. Some Will reach the heights of glory, Some will gain a lesser fame, All Will live With a nobility Redounding to thine honored name. eW. F.

Senior gfisfory IT was back in 1926 when we began our trip in 10ftier heights. There were only ten of that year, but those few strove heartily to become recognized ,neath the upper classments austere mien. In preparation for this long trip, we, then of the freshman class, with many more added to our ranks, learned the fundamentals of our work in the ground-school course which taught us to adjust ourselves to this new environment. The next year, as Sophomores, we learned how to pilot ours ships, and experienced the thrill of really flying; for now we were becoming accli- mated to our duties. Outstanding pilots were manifest in tiDod, Darak, a famous gridiron man and baseball player, and Emlyn Hughes, who was on the Indie, debating team. In our Junior year, the solo flights began. Leonard Jackier dis- tinguished himself in the dramatic production, The Swan, and was at the head of his class scholastically. The best football warriors were from our ranks. Bill Logan, another high honor student, was assistant business manager of the Opinator. Pauline Fierman maintained her high average Bottom Row, left to right-Brubaker, Pringle, Payne, Smith, M.

Both girls and boys held responsible positions on the Student Council and ttYi'. So, although there have been a few crashes and mis- haps, our trip to graduation is drawing to a successful close. We have achieved our ultimate goal after these five years of per- sistent and arduous labor, for we are to be graduated from Wyoming Seminary, Which is an honor devoutly to be wished by any individual. Memories of the struggles, the pleasures, and the friendships of by-gone days at Wyoming will be very tenderly cherished throughout our lives. Just as there are no limits to the future in aviation, so there is no limit to the future in our lives. As we take off on our life,s flight, the fine education, the true friendships, and the deeply-rooted impression of our life at Wyoming Seminary will ever be a great source of encouragement to us. So, with new life before us, we set out with renewed strength to conquer the world. We, the Class of 1931, bid an ever-regretful farewell to Wyoming.

Junior Glass afisfory AN undercurrent of excitement per- vades the crowd. Everyone is tense, waiting for the send-off. The pro- peller is wound! Chief Pilot Bob McKane hops in, tunes up his motor, and With a whir of the propeller and a roar of the engine, The Junior Plane gracefully takes off amid the shouts of Goodbyeli, and Good LuckV Within the plane everyone is speaking at once. Old friends and classmates greet each other, and the timid newcomers are smilingly wel- comed. Above the noice and bedlam is heard the voice of one of those so-called newcomers to our happy fold: iiWho are that lady and man talking together near the window? They? answered another in a hushed voice, are our faculty advisers, Professor Roberts and Mrs. Bishop? Aided by our able pilots, Bob McKane, James Brennan, Ned Wil- liams, Eslye Nelson, Roland Jermyn, Marion Wall and Beulah Cohen, our plane seems to gain much headway. We are now passing over the huge mountain Which is called Schol- astic Standing Mount? We rise high above its rocky peaksestumbling blocks to many a would-be graduate.

We are flying aloft above the athletic field. We almost succeed in surpassing the Senior Plane! Now we are speeding over uDrama Land? We are far, far ahead of the other class planes. Excited cries are heard as we View the strange wonders of the drama. We see such characters as brave Mrs. Bixby, ably portrayed by our Eslye, and Tavia Ferguson, who bears a marked resem- blance to Mary Parke. There is Bob McKane earnestly endeavoring to persuade Fred Sheese to look for his silk hat. And now we are nearing the time for our landing, after successfully passing through many uexamination storms,, and uterrible test winds? A sudden hush falls upon us as we feel ourselves gently floating towards the earth. At last a successful landing! Everyone hurries over to greet the Seniors. It is a sacred moment and one long to be remembered as our chief pilot receives the key to the Senior Plane. And so, with faces turnd towards the setting sun, we sorrowfully relinquish our beloved Junior Plane. s N 47th ,, q x x .

Sophomore Glass afisfory WE, the Sophomore historians, discover in our history a group representing a harmony of purpose. We hail no select few as our champions of attainment; we laud no individual as a superior. The class is a community of equals wherein each one excels in some trait or purposey If we could part the veil which separates us from the future, it is not only probable but expected that we should find on our roles a Madame Curie, 3 Lincoln, a Steinmetz, a Mayo, a Bern- hardt, and an Edison. The expectation is not a vain conception of our prowess, nor is it tinged With conceit. The ceaseless efforts of our teach- ers and professors permit such prophecies, and the guidance of our advis- ers shall not remain unrewarded. It is to these instructors that we attri- bute our successes, and it is for them that we reserve the plaudits and acknowledgments accorded champions. To portray ourselves as finished products, to commend ourselves on progress not yet complete, or to expound upon the Virtues of a period of progressive learning and enjoyment would, at this moment, present a distorted description, a cart without wheels. Certain facts, however, are permitted to appear, and upon these shall we dwell, trusting that the outcome of our student careers will coalesce not only our desires for accomplishment but the fulfillment of them.

McGuigaIL The fall of 1930 discovered a group of applicants whose sincere intentions involved the seeking of the truth, the expectation of renewed friendships, and the glamour of still unknown experiences. In these, they were not disappointed. The civil and subjected demeanour of the freshmen having been accomplished, we assumed the lighter and more becoming poise of a higher rank. Thus equipped, we have succeeded, to a gratifying extent, in making ourselves useful as well as prominent. The diiiiculties encountered in the course of education were eased by a renaissance of existence. The sophomore year is not insignificant, and though we accept its passing unemotionally, it has converted our former uncertain conception of a strange adventure to a realization of a useful present. We have made a creditable reputation for ourselves scholastically. In athletics and other enterprises we have made noble contributions. The future looms not without great promise for our members. The inevitable progress of time has not denied us the satisfaction which accompanies achievement, and it will not subdue the zeal of antici- pation. The interpretation of our efforts toward the immortal ideals that Wyoming sponsors inscribes in our hearts a lingering memory, and supplies an encouragement that removes the uncertainty of days yet to come. Reminiscences of a delightful Year as sophomores prevent us from becoming imbued with rapture of a toil that is finished.

Zimmerman, gi'eslmmn S'iisfory IT was a warm day in September in the year 1931. An airplane appeared on the horizon. As it drew nearer, one could discern the ships colors, white and blue. Surely, the Wyoming! As the airplane landed, a group of boys and girls gathered around it, ready to get in when the doors opened for them. All the passengers climbed into the plane and took their places. After everybody was in, the ship started down the field, rose like a bird, and gradually climbing into the air, circled around the field a few times and was off on another one of its yearly journeys. Among the occupants of the plane were forty-nine girls and boys, timid and unsophisticated. These were the Freshmen, who, we hope, will develop into the Senior Class of 1934. These new members were inexperienced but willing to try for old Wyomingk sake. Under the watchful eyes of their superior upperclass- men, they obeyed the rules of the handbook, keeping away from the front chapel steps, scrubbing benches, and carrying the handbook with them constantly. This was greatly amusing to their tormentors, but they themselves felt greatly abused. First Heft to righU : Jr Corkwell, C, Raub, R. Schmitt, M Burke. P. Barber, R. Higgs, 3L Finkelstein.

XVeissman, G, Kolerskii Even though they did feel this way, still they appreciated the many kindnesses and the sympathy shown them by the upperclassmen, and the help and understanding re- ceived from the professors and other members of the faculty. Although they felt very strange at first, they gradually began to realize that they too were a part of the ship Wyoming. The girls, basketball team looks promising, winning from the Sophomores and Juniors, but being slightly beaten by the strong and noble Seniors. As they are playing one can see and pick out many of the future stars of Wyoming SeminaryTs Girls, basket- ball team. Although the Freshmen were not so well represented on the Junior football team, they were well represented on the newly organized Midgets. They were also repre- sented in the band, girls basketball teams, and other organizations. They also formed a goodly part of the rooters at the games and other student activities. The Freshmen feel very grateful to Miss Brown and Professor Brace, who have been very kind to them and have given them advice that has been a guide and help to them throughout the year and will guide them through future years at Wyoming and any other school to which they may go. This class has kept in the background, as ideal Freshmen should do, but as they gradually develop their abilities athletically as well as scholastically, they are sure to be heard from before their Senior year. We hope that some day in the future Wyoming Seminary will be proud to call this new but well organized and progressing Class their worthy, promising Seniors. geslmmn Glass Officers GEORGE BROWN ROBERT BOYLE JAMES O,BOYLE lst Vice President 2nd Vice President Secretary JOSEPH BRENNAN President LOUISE SWAINBANK HERMAN JOHNSON ANN MARSH Treasurer Historian Historian L'1041 The Wyoming 19 3 1 Qw . xxx.

S T R A E W. F ART ROOM Gfrf $eparfmerzf 669$ SILVER GLEAM, dazzling to the eyeii wsuch is the effect that an airship, flying through a clear sky With the sun just ahead as its guide, has on one. But that is no more startling than the effect of a masterpieceeperfectly balanced, blended, and harmon- ized. And the artist, like the pilot, must seek his work through unbiased and undistorted eyes. This is the training Which the artist of the next decade has received at Seminary. In a small, unpretentious room on the third floor of Sprague Memo- rial Hall, Art is taught to the students Who possess the talent and skill of a potential artist. Under the splendid supervision of Miss Helen M. Brown, the students are taught the fundamentals of Art, then the more advanced work of designing, illustrating, human and flower-form anatomy. During the year, the art students do some splendid work-the fore- most being the work accomplished on the Opinator, the weekly publica- tion, and The Wyoming, the yearly publication. At the end of the year, an exhibition is given in Which is displayed the best work accomplished during the year. The students are: Alice Banker, Theresa Butkiewicz, Sally Edwards, Mary Harris, Ruth Howell, Mary M. Jayne, Ruth Pealer, Jean Rine- himer, and Kathleen Yeisley. f.

Music $eparfmmf ALL music has as its foundation the two scales-one running up and the other down. It is a very simple process of movement, but not too simple to be the basis of airplane flying. The hum of the motor has an uplifting rhythm like every inspiring selec- tion of melody. Flying, from that point of view then, is a form of music. The followers of this pleasurable pastime have a wonderful opportunity to develop their talents here at Wyoming Seminary. Music was first introduced at Seminary seventy-seven years ago. At the head of the Piano Department is Mr. James Harrison, assisted by Mrs. Mildred Adams, Miss Mildred Eyer, and Miss Sara H. Young. In addition to piano, organ and theory are taught by Mr. Harrison. The Violin Department is under the supervision of Professor George V. Sheeder, a former graduate of Wyoming Seminary. Vocal music is taught by Madame Fitzmaurice. The aim of each department is to teach the student the funda- mentals of music so that he may understand more thoroughly the art and technique of music. At various times of the year, recitals are heard Which are not only enjoyed by all, but Which reveal the splendid advance- ment by the students. 61w Expression $eparfmmf Before one enters a plane to take his initial flight, he must collect himself, become calm, and prepare for the unexpected. And then in the bliss which follows, he forgets himself entirely and lives the life of a winged Pegasus. An actor must do this very thing; he must forget his real self and actually live the part that he desires to portray. And in doing this, he, too, hnds an unexpected bliss. Drama has been a favorite diver- sion all down through the centuries, and we of Wyoming Seminary have accepted that which has stood the test of the ages. The Expression Department was instituted in Wyoming Seminary about twenty- live years after the founding of the school. Drama has proven such an asset to Seminary that today it is considered absolutely necessary to the school and its future. Mrs. Wil- liam Bishop, who has charge of the Expression Department, encourages many worth while activities every school term. It is Mrs. Bishopis work to teach the students clear pronunciation and enunciation of English, poise and calm self-command, when the opportunity of speaking to an audience presents itself to them. It is for that reason that all juniors are compelled to take public speaking, for it paves the way and makes it easier for them to deliver their orations when they are seniors. The Senior Orations have been compulsory for many years at Seminary and, through the willing cooperation and helpful advice of Mrs. Bishop, they have been greatly enjoyed by both the members of the faculty and the student body. In addition, several presentations are given 'during the year by a talented cast. In January, a recital was given which included three plays-Tbc Lost Silk Hat, The P0! Boiler, and The Solemn Pride. This year, Mrs. Bishop completed the term with the annual school play, That Ferguson Family. She also has a group of private students who are interested in dramatics. It is from this group that Mrs. Bishop receives most of the dramatic talent for the various plays. After witnessing the plays which are thoroughly enjoyed by all, we can see the improvement made by the pupils under the splendid instruction of Mrs. Bishop. We hope that this good work will continue. The list of private students are: Janice Berkowitz, Helena Blazejewski, Morton Blum, Ralph Brandwene, George Brown, Mary Bryant, Angelo Bufalino, Roslyn Burnat, Beulah Cohen, Thelma Cole, Ruth Dattner, Harold Davis, Rosalie Engel, Gladys Friend, Ida Dell Hartman, William Haus, Margaret Heidrich, Ruth Howell, Mrs. Howells, Mae Hunter, Leonard Jackier, Helen Jefferson, Sara Keiper, Selma Levine, Alexander McLean, John Mangan, Robert McKane, Francis McLaughlin, Helen Morgan, Samuel Morreale, Eslye Nelson, Eunice Page, Deno Pantelakos, Mary Parke, John Potter, Marion Richards, Eunice Rosen, Erma Rumbaugh, Nan Schiffman, Rosabelle Schulman, Harriet Stem, Chris Walter, Bessie Westerman, Walter Williams, Mary Wall, Marion Wall. game Economics $eparfmmf llDURING the middle ages, Roger Bacon, theologian and scientist, predicted the invention of a chariot that would fly in the air. Many, many years later, a flying chariot did come into existence to meet the demands made upon the economic and commercial world. It saved many dollars all over the world and now has become a necessity instead of a novelty. Domestic Science, too, had its origin in the time of Roger Bacon and, like the airplane, was not expanded upon until this modern age. One aspect of Domestic Science is Home Eco- nomics; but lleconomicsf in this case, is not saving money, but getting the most from money. This, like aviation, has also grown into a wide field. In view of the great demand for a Home Economics Department, Wyoming Seminary immediately instituted one. The course of Home Economics, When briefly defined, is the study of the management of household affairs. However, the course is not as simple as the definition sounds, for there are various phases to be studied. First, the course includes a study of food and food-stuffs and their uses in the body; then, the planning, preparing, and serving of well-bal- anced and attractive breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners. During the year, each senior plans, markets for, prepares, and serves a dinner to the other members of her class. Next, the course includes a study of clothing in relation to the durability of materials and the planning and making of garments to suit the personality of the wearer. The students also make a study of types of architecture suitable for homes. To sum up the entire course, the students learn how to manage a home that gives the greatest joy and comfort With the least amount of labor and money, by using efficient methods and equipment. The Home Economics students, under the splendid guidance of Miss Marion Richards, served a delightful dinner to the faculty in January. The girls of Wyoming Seminary have been fortunate also in being guests at a tea given entirely by the students of this department. When the girls have completed the Home Economics course, they have accomplished a worthwhile task and should feel proud of their domestic ability. The following students are taking this course: Sarah Edwards, Charlotte Hildebrant, Jean Kelley, Lois Lauderbaugh, Betty Lee, Louise Payne, and Anne Wartella. l1131 bl TTT .i s: L C: i foxy- 1,; , '1, , gt 5.; vvenziiyi 3, 1 ' , l'- , v Tm r1 VLOx wwia I Qedfal By Advanced Students of Music Department Assisted by Expression Department Wyoming Seminary1Nelson Memorial Hall Friday Evening, January 16, 1931 at 8 :15 RM.

This society, composed mostly of day students, has occupied an important and conspicuous place in school life. Originally, the chief purpose was to promote a desire for good literature; now skill and competency in debate and declamation is given great consideration and, as a result, the society proudly boasts of victory in the Nesbitt Oratorical Contest. The lives and fortunes of the girls are considerably aided by these opportunities for self-expression, and the literary pursuits have a decided influence upon the conversion of their leisure hours into time profitably expended. Officers are elected every six weeks, thereby giving many girls an excellent chance to reveal their personal ability as leaders and to intro- duce new ideas and opinions. This year the ofiicers have endeavored to improve any defect in this organization, and their influence has been felt and greatly appreciated. 7-: J's The jwuominq w First Row Heft to righti: Lehman, Bryant, B.

GIHIS year the Plattsi, welcomed their new members in the usual brutal fashion, proving all the new Plattonians the best of sports. With their cooperation and willingness to sacrifice a large part of their time and talents to their society, the Plattonians have made this year a very successful one. As the Plattonian Society is primarily devoted to the promotion of interests in literature; Mrs. Bishop,s help and influence has been greatly appreciated. As the Plattonian faculty adviser, she aided in selecting and coaching the play for the inter-society contest and other parts of this years program. Every girls team has had the support of at least one Plattonian. A society hockey team was organized which made the Plattsi, proud of their athletic prowess. The society, as usual, had very able representatives in the Nesbitt Oratorical Contest and the Declamation Contest in June. The ofiicers and different committees have accomplished much in the past, and the Plattonian Society feels proud of one more year of service to the girls of Wyoming Seminary.

THE Amphictyon Society was founded in 1853. The minutes of the early meetings show that the orig- inal members of the organization carried out excellently the purpose of the constitution: mfo establish higher standards of literary activity in the various forms of contest, drama, and debate? Since that time, the society has had many trials and vicissitudes, but has weathered the shock of them all, and emerged triumphant. The society commences its school activities by holding the Inter- Society Reception in conjunction with the Adelphians, the Plattonians, and the Independents. The purpose of this affair is to acquaint the new arrivals With their fellow students and to give them a feeling of good friendship. The next event on the societys program is, perhaps, the most important, the ii iNitiation, sung by seniors, joined 1n by Juniors, sought for by sophomores, and feared by freshmen. At that time the gymnasium is the scene of bedlam, all manner of peculiar noises issuing forth; but it is soon over, and newly appointed members swear vengeance for the next year.

The motor of organization has throbbed one continual. beat of HARMONY AND LOVET While the propeller of activity has sped the society into the realms of brilliant success. Sponsored by a group of students, seventy-four years ago, for the development of literature and debating at Wyoming, it has grown into an organization of prominence. This year the society once again won the annual debate. Not only has it shown its worth in the development of literature, but it has also contributed greatly to fraternal friendship. Never could this spirit of camaraderie be gained in a more true and realistic manner. Some of the members passing through the portals of Wyoming this June have belonged to the society for four years, others not so long! The pilots, Hemstreet, Morreale, and Van Sickle, the members of the Inde- pendent Society Who are of the class of 31X, bid the rest to carry on the good work, ever bearing in mind the motto, HARMONY AND LOVE? as it has been for the past three score and fourteen years.

The Yi, members are ready to take the new passengers by the hand and lead them towards a closer view of the great ship and the life that goes on within, in an attempt to miti- gate their fears and doubts. The Yii sponsors the first social function of the year, the Y Re- ception. Here new friends are made and old friends meet again. The Christmas party is also held under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Every Tuesday evening, the Y. W. C. A. meets in Swetland Parlors to discuss questions in open forum, or to hear interesting student talks. This year the girls were very fortunate in securing inspiring speakers. The joint meetings of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. are held Sun- day evenings, at which time prominent men of this Vicinity speak to the students. Instead of collecting dues from its members, the Yf, each fall, conducts an annual drive, the proceeds of which are used for all the activities of the year. The Y. W. C. Afs achievements provide a spiritual, intellectual, and social stimulus for the girls of Wyoming, for which they are, in turn, deeply grateful.

A. is doing a noble piece of work in its efforts to instill true Christian principles in the hearts of its members. The organization is directed by a cabinet, elected by the members, as well as a council Which is appointed by the president. Members of the faculty act in an advisory capacity, and are an invaluable aid to the students in their search for Truth. The activities of the Y,, are many. Two meetings are held each week; the first, a joint gathering With the Y. W. C. A. on Sunday night, for which occasion capable speakers are procured, and an informal meet- ing for boys only on Wednesday night, When an open discussion usually holds sway, although quite often. a member of the faculty or a fellow student addresses those assembled. The organization is also prominent socially, With its parties and reception, and publishes a handbook contain- ing valuable information for the student. It also keeps in touch with iiYii activities in schools throughout the country. For many years the Y. M. C. A. has been outstanding in the spiritual and social life of Wyoming Seminary, and rare indeed is the student Who has not profited by its influences.

Until recently, membership was confined to ministerial students, but a blanket clause in the constitution has been interpreted in such a way as to. allow any male student of Christian principles to become a member. Meetings are held every Monday evening of the scholastic year, at which time capable speakers from various walks of life, or even students of the Seminary, carry on discussions or deliver addresses. The Asbury Club also conducts a prayer service on Wednesday nights in the reading room. The organization is made up chiefly, however, of ministerial stu- dents, Who have established an enviable reputation through their willing- ness to aid in God,s work at all times. This year, members of the Club have been especially active, several holding regular Sunday night charges in this locality, while others conducted Epworth League and Christian Endeavor meetings in various churches. In this way, members of the organization receive valuable experience in what they intend to make their life work. Under the skillful leadership of Felix ZaEro and Vincent Yenchar, a new spirit has been created, and the Asbury Club seems headed towards even greater accomplishments.

Thus, Cum Laude is considered a junior to that famous honorary college fraternity. Charter membership was granted to the executive offlcers 0f the school, heads of departments, and members of Phi Beta Kappa. These charter members are Dr. Sprague; Dean Fleck, secretary; Miss Foster; Professor Adams, president; Professors Brown, Bugbee, Burt, March, Roberts, Sampson, and Traxler. Each semester an election of seniors takes place. To be eligible for election the hrst semester, the student must have an average of eighty- eight or above for the semester, With no marks below seventy-eight; he must be carrying at least four academic subjects; must have attended Seminary for at least one school year, and must rank in the first ten per- cent of his class.

The Band had as its drum major the inim- itable Grier Morgan, whose colorful military dress was more ostentatious than that of any West Point cadet. The Band continued its activity this year by playing at the wrestling meets, girlsT hockey games, and at two basketball games, both of which, needless to say, Wyoming won. Wy, Wy, Wyoming! Here comes the band! The cry goes up on all sides of the gridiron as the roll of drums is heard in the distance. Through the lower gate and around the field, the boys march. Who isnTt stirred by the martial music? And then during the half! Strike up the band! Down in Wyo Semf uXWyo Boys? TTCheer for the Boys Now Playing? Hail XVyomingf While We are Shouting for Wyof, Thath the spirit! A novelty was introduced into the Wednesday chapel service during the fall.

The orchestra has become an indispensable part of the Seminary and it has to its credit 3 season of suc- cessful performances. Notable among these are the performances at the Inter-Society Reception, the Christmas party, the Fashion Show, and the Dramatic Club plays. No words could more fully express the excellence of this organization than a glance at the repertoire. It includes Ballet Egyptienf Kamenoi- Ostrowfi Intermezzd, from the Cavalleria Rusticanafi ballet music from Faust? uBallet Sylviaf, Indian Love Lyrics? Victor Herbertis music, and the uTriumphal MarchT from iiAidaf, The orchestra is no longer restricted to male membership, and the removal of this restriction so as to include girls in its personnel, has been a desirable and progressive step toward making Wyoming Seminary notable for its activity in the arts. Each member of this organization deserVes more credit than words can convey, and special praise is due to those Who have been soloists at some of the performances, namely, Franklin Powell, John Basta, Paul Schermerhorn, and Mary Trimble.

Nine years ago, the Dramatic Club of Wyoming Seminary was organized. Its main purpose was to incite a keener interest in dramatics and to arouse a true appreciation of the drama among the student body. Now this zeal has swept the country, and managers of legitimate theatres are greatly worried, for in high schools and colleges a vast audience is being trained by systematic education along artistic lines for intelligent plays with cultural value. The commercial theatre must rise to a higher a artistic level if it is to remain a living institution in America. i Left to Right: J. Runevic, E. Hughes, Mi Parke, A. Bufailinio, R. Engel, E. Nelson, Li Jackicr. W In the first years of its growth, the Wyoming Seminary Dramatic Club presented three one-act plays; but, for the past five years, an annual i three-act play has been presented. In 192 6, Passing tloe Third Floor Back i by Jerome K. Jerome was produced. Then came Tlae Enemy by Chan- ning Pollock, the first amateur performance of this great drama. The i success of the play was amazing. Following that came Sheridanis Rivals, and then Molnaris romantic comedy, Tloe Swan. This year, was pre- T 1 Left to Right: A. Bufmlinio, R. Engel. L. Jackier. Er Nelson. E. Hughes. Mi Parke, C. Funke. sented that well known play of Howard Chenery, That Ferguson Fam- ily, a story of the trials of a typical American family in the days when automobiles were still an insane investment. All these plays were suc- cessfully produced by the students themselves under the excellent coach- ing of Mrs. Z. M. Bishop. Not only do these performances give the students opportunity to act, but also, lessons in play-coaching and in the setting-up of a stage. Today, the Dramatic Club is recognized by the school as being one of its most Vital influences. It is a self-supporting activity and has con- tributed much to the welfare of the school, a donation of more than two hundred dollars worth of books having been given to the school library. And it is the intention of the club to expand this gift every year. Val- uable stage equipment has been supplied and countless other essentials. A new feature of the club is a contest for the best one-act play pre- sented by the four literary societies of the school. The reward is a ten- inch silver loving cup. To create an even greater interest, a gold key is given to those who prove themselves worthy of it. Thus, you see, the Dramatic Club has successfully carried out its purpose, and has become one of the Vital parts in the activities of the school. 8605f cf 65605 ggrquson gkmily Mertie Ferguson ..................................................

This paper contains the expression of opinions, criticisms, and rumor of the student-body of Wyoming Seminary. It also gives an account of the weekly events Which have occurred in societies, in athletics, and in the class-rooms. The Opimztor board is composed of an editor-in-chief, two associ- ate editors, a faculty adviser, a business manager With two assistants, an art critic, and about twenty-iive students. To make it more interest- ing and to insure competition, members of the board are credited for their work by the point system. At the end of the year, those students who have above the average number of points or Who are Within a rea- sonable distance of that figure, receive the much-coveted gold key. The Opinator discloses the literary ability of the Whole school. Its board is chosen by the merit system. Every one is proud of this publication, and we all feel that it cannot be separated from Wyoming. There is no doubt that this years issues of the Opinafor have sur- passed those of any other year. It is the guiding factor of the whole school, for it keeps us in contact With every aspect of Seminary life.

In it are found all the school rules and regulations that are deemed of major importance. There is a calendar of school events Which gives us a definite date for all forthcoming occasions, a resume of school activities, news of awards and contests, plus any other item of interest or importance to the student body. In it the freshmen find their uFreshman Rules? much to their disgust; sophomores joyfully abide by its precepts; juniors ascertain their main interest in it; and seniors derive a constant source of gratification from it. We receive this booklet through the combined efforts of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. A committee of editors is appointed by the president of the Y. M. C. A. and the finished proof is revised by a mem- ber of the faculty. Even though it is sustained by the prestige of the Y? and assisted by the Ysi treasury, it goes over the top each year, thus proving itself self-supporting. This year the Handbook was published by a capable staff composed of the following members: Professor P. H. Burt, Faculty Adviser; Frederick Sarkis, Editor-in- Chief; Samuel Morreale, Advertising Manager; Henry Schooley, William Logan, Jr., Baring Coughlin, Associates. . 1 1,.-. . .. , mgr .m-m The mqominq 1 - 19 1.3' 1 e M A BENNETT LIBRA RY aim gihmry WHAT is that human masterpiece so carefully and thoughtfully brought into existence by human planning?

Newspapers and maga- zines have printed much regarding the subsidy of athletes, and it has been proven that in many prep. schools and colleges, authorities have been lax in their supervision of this branch of the school curriculum. Star athletes have been known to receive regular salaries. Some have procured automobiles, clothing, and the like, with the result that the public are beginning to think that when they Witness a school contest, particularly a collegiate encounter, they are watching two teams of pro- fessional athletes, rather than merely healthy young men competing because of love of the game. In Wyoming there is no danger of such practices being carried on. In charge of our athletics we have a small body of youthful energy and grave Wisdom, namely, the Athletic Council, whose duty it is to de- termine the standards of sports and athletic rulings at Wyoming Semi- nary. This body determines the athletic budgets, arranges schedules, decides the letter awards for each sport, and in every possible way keeps Seminary sportsmanship honest and clean.

Victories over Wyoming are rare and, as a result, practically all opposing schools regard their games with Wyoming as the most important on their schedules, and as the ones most desirable to win. Wyoming teams are fighting teams, and Wyoming men are fighting men! Realiz- ing that he is f1 ling the shoes of heroes of yesteryear and that some day his name may be tradition at Sem., the lad who represents our school on the field of conflict cannot help but be inspired to great accomplishments. Nor can he fail to benefit physically and morally through his experience as an athlete at Wyoming. Ample provision is also made for those not sufficiently skillful to represent the school in an athletic way. Every boy and girl, excepting only those excused by medical authorities, must indulge in some form of health recreation; so gymnasium and swim- ming classes are conducted for those not connected with a team. Wyoming is represented in scholastic competition by varsity teams in football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, track, and tennis. Reserve aggregations exist in foot- ball and basketball, while there are also junior varsity teams in football, basketball, and baseball. There is also a swimming team, although this is not recognized as a varsity sport by the Athletic Council. To carry on this extensive program, the school has every modern convenience. Basketball, Wrestling, indoor track, and gymnastics are provided for by the well equipped Pettebone Gymnasium, while baseball, football, track, and tennis are carried on in our wonderful Nesbitt Memorial Stadium, where we have an excellent gridiron, baseball field, tennis courts, outdoor track, clubhouse, and bleachers capable of seating several thousand spectators. The back campus is also utilized in the workout of the Junior Varsity footballers and Girls hockey team. Guiding the destinies of our athletes we have mature and experienced men, each of whom was a star athlete in bygone days. Professor Norman W. Smith, a star in six different sports at Rhode Island State, coaches our baseball, basketball, and reserve foot- ball teams. Football and track are in charge of Professor Edgar S. Brace, Who was an all around athlete at Oberlin College. Wrestling and Junior football are capably taken care of by Professor W. A. Bishop, While Professor Horace Parker instructs our tennis players. Professor Frank P. Stevens of Clark University coaches our swimmers. Gym and swimming classes are in charge of Professors Smith and Bishop. The girls of Wyoming are not far behind their brothers in an athletic way. They have fast basketball and hockey teams, and the zeal which characterized their efforts proved them to be true Wyoming athletes. All athletics are under the general superVisiOn of the Athletic Council, which is made up of captains, managers, and coaches of the various teams, the Dean, the President, and a faculty member Who acts as treasurer.

Gapfain, Goack, dlZJ Manager MUCH of the success of our 1930 foot- ball season was due to excellent leadership, and we pause to pay homage to those who controlled the destinies of our gridiron stalwarts. Swoyervilleis favorite son, Eddie Brominski, joins the list of Wyom- ingis football immortals as a result of his fine playing and unselhsh spirit last year. He is a natural leader who doesn,t know the meaning of the word quit? Bromd, played on in spite of injuries and often sacrificed opportunities for personal glory in order to benefit his team. Also a model student, his modesty and earnestness have earned for him a warm spot in the hearts of faculty and student body, and they unite in wishing him b011, voyage. Once more the dynamic Professor Edgar S. Brace coached our bull- dogs of the gridiron. He always demanded the best that was in the boys, and it is safe to say that he was seldom disappointed. The possessor of that mysterious quality which inspires men to great deeds, our mentor has for many years been teaching Wyoming men to fight hard in a sports- manlike manner. Best of luck, prof. The popular Wilkes-Barrian, Samuel Rosenthal, ably managed the team. In the language of the street: wThey don,t put anything over on Sam? As usual, the manager was the victim of countless pranks, but Sammy always came back with a smile. Best wishes, Sammy. aw ' sz$ 1 x ' s xx The mqammq ii f v 9.75? . r93 1 A a ' ' PATTON CAPT. BROMINSKI Bl'ALEK FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1930 REGISTRATION day found a heterogene- ous collection of youths aspiring, and perspiring also, for some berth on a Wyoming Seminary football team. Among the group were seen several familiar faces, such as Captain Ed Brominski, Di Nunzio, and several other veterans of the previous season. As the approaching season grew nearer, many new players became visible in the football spotlight. Among these were Fred Metzgar, captain of the 1931 team as it became known later, Bob Pethick, former captain of the Reserves, La Vine, and others. Under the astute care of the coaching staff, Professor Brace and Professor Smith, the team gradually improved its form and made its debut on October 4 With Allentown Preparatory School, on our home field. ttTubby Darakts kick-off inaugurated the 1930 season. Allentown,s attempts were feeble, so they punted. Rees immediately pulled a quick kick to Allentownts thirty yard line. However, the opponents started a HUDOCK BAIZ PETHICK passing attack which brought the oval within scoring distance, but Di N unzio soon snared the ball and galloped some sixty yards for Wyomingts first score. The extra point was not made. Sometime later, after gain- ing possession of the ball in midfield, Di Nunzio went off tackle for the second score. Captain Brominski added the extra point. In the second half, Wyoming began a rushing attack Which went the length of the field; Pethick took the ball over for the third score. Captain Brominski added the extra score again. Allentown did not score until the final quarter, when one of their half-backs took a forward pass and ran sixty-five yards for the score. The next game showed strong opposition in the Syracuse Freshmen. Captain Brominski kicked off for Wyoming. After playing in midfield for a While, the Frosh took advantage of a fumble and brought the ball to our two-yard line. However, ttNicktt Di Nunzio intercepted a forward and saved a possible score. A few minutes later, the Frosh, taking the ball in midfield, scored on a forward. Wyoming returned in full force, going as far as the four-yard line. Again a fumble and again a score. I:1471 LACEK DARAK DAVIS Undaunted, Wyoming began another attack and finally scored on a pass from Brominski to Braden. After coming within scoring distance again, Wyoming fumbled and a Syracuse player ran seventy yards for the third and last score of his team. Wyoming automatically received two points when the center from Syracuse passed the ball over the end zone. In the second half, Captain Brominski sliced off-tackle for forty yards and our fourth score. This game marked perhaps the greatest come-back that any Wyoming team has ever made. ' In the Keystone Academy team the Varsity met a powerful antagon- ist. In the first five minutes of play, Wyoming scored, Di Nunzio going around right end for forty yards. After that the game was a hard and rough battle. Keystone scored in the last quarter on a feigned placement kick. Captain Brominski tried a drop kick from the twenty-yard line in the closing minutes, but it was unsuccessful. Possibly one of the strongest teams we met was the Lafayette Fresh- men, on which were six former Seminary stars. Lafayette seemed to be REESE METZGAR BRADEN favored by many, yet their strong attacks were repeatedly repulsed. For a long time the game was a punting duel; then Wyoming took advantage of a break and went as far as Lafayetteis five-yard line, but we were held for four downs. Going to our thirty-yard stripe, FOX, former Seminary player, attempted a field goal, but it was unsuccessful. In the third quarter, Bailey, star quarter of Lafayette, threw two passes to the same man, placing the ball on our three-yard mark. Wyoming held them, and then Di Nunzio kicked to midfield. After another punting duel, Lafayette rallied and passed their way to our ten-yard line, but Di Nunzio again saved the day by intercepting a pass that would have been a sure score. Journeying to Dickinson Seminary, the Varsity, crippled with loss of five regulars, were held to a scoreless tie. For three quarters Dickin- son ripped our line to shreds but were uhable to score. In the fourth quarter we began a passing attack. Pugh almost scored when he found a clear field, but he was forced out of bounds on the twenty-yard line. Dickinson began a rally but Coach Brace substituted Patton and Davis, who staved off a possible score. KUSCINSKAS GLEASON Stroudsburg State Teachers College brought a clever outfit with them, but Wyoming defeated them by a score of nineteen to nothing. Nineteen has been the number characteristic of three successive defeats for the Stroudsburg team when Wyoming played them. Stroudsburg ap- peared to have the superior edge in the first half, but the Wyoming line, time and time again, featured its strong defensive strength. In the second half, Call, giant tackle, while punting became bewildered and! threw the ball to one of his own players. Captain Brominski intercepted the pass and ran for the first score. After this strange play, Wyoming gained at will through the demoralized Stroudsburg team. The most crushing defeat in years was suffered at Perkiomen when the Perkiomen boys annihilated us, 52-0. Twice in the first half, Wyom- ing nearly scored. However, When the Perkiomen artillery began to function, our players were unable to check the score. The line was again worthy of approval, but the backfield was very ragged on the defense. SPROXV DI NUNZIO PUGH Villa Nova Freshmen, one of the strongest college freshmen teams of the East, was our next opponent. On paper they were eighty-one points better than we, but on the gridiron they obtained but thirty-nine. The first half featured the splendid defensive game of our team. The Frosh scored only once on a long pass. Wyoming also scored, but the touchdown was nullified because of a penalty. This was very disheartening to the pia'yers, and in the second half, the Freshmen ran end runs and threw passes to collect thirty-two points. It was manifest that we played a team far above our class when we saw that aggregation perform. In the annual turkey-day game Bucknell Freshmen made a fast come- back in the second half to defeat the Varsity, twenty-six to six. In the first half, Wyoming so outplayed the Bucknell team that it seemed to be just another easy game. In the first half, the Varsity constantly threat- ened and finally scored when Sites blocked a punt and fell on the ball in back of the goal line. However, in the second half, a passing attack humbled us and made our initial score seem small. BEYNON Having the peculiar record of three victories, three ties, and three defeats, the Varsity faced Bellefonte Academy, determined to change the count. It must be told that this was a mud battle. Very often when a muddy figure rose from a promiscuous heap of mud and humanity, the referee, also muddy, was forced to inquire from that individual with what team he played, so that he'could be fair in his duty. Wyoming scored in the second period when Di Nunzio cut back, after going off-tackle, and raced through the Bellefonte team for eighty yards and our only score. Wyoming always held the upper hand in the contest, while Bellefonte threatened only once. This game took place after the regular season and was played for the benefit of the American Legion of Kingston. 2 m; .i ,. us: i A 2V4,,s1 -u.x4: mi Q gaming , x V' ,,. 1+2 SCHEDULE OF VARSITY FOOTBALL Wyoming 20, AllentOWn Prep. 6; Wyoming 23, Syracuse Fresh- men 20; Wyoming 6, Keystone Academy 6; Wyoming 0, Lafayette Freshmen 0; Wyoming 0, Dickinson Seminary 0; Wyoming 19, Strouds- burg S.

Although the team was defeated several times, they had a most powerful defense, as the scores indicate. This season,s squad was captained by the stalwart center, Joell Ignatovig. With him on the line were the dependable Runevic, Turner, Turpin, and Doran, all stars of the previous year. The new line men were Lavin, Skerel, Gratz, Arbogast, Nattrass, and Tucker, who likewise proved their worthiness. The new backfield consisted of the following: Mudge, renowned punter; Gordon, fleet-footed half, and Williams, Ayre, and Roberts, Junior Varsity stars and excellent passers. Medvesky, Avery, Gould, and Scrovinsky displayed meritorious efforts. The first victory was the Bloomsburg game. Fine line play featured, with Turpin garnering a touchdown on a blocked punt. In the backfield, Mudge punted excep- tionally well, while Ayre and Gordon scintillated on the running attack. Whitie Williams, forward passes utterly confused the enemy. In a tough battle with Larksville line play again won the game for the Reserves. The only score came in the third quarter on a forty-yard pass from Roberts to Skerel. A hard battle was found in the Swoyersville game. Swoyersville scored in the first half. In the last quarter, however, the Reserves tied the count on two long passes to Gordon and Skerel from Roberts. .. 1,4 M i . lJV. l3 3 V ?7 mlxswmwe' v 'T' First Row Heft to righti: Bufalino tManagen, Osmanski, Shafer, Quay, Boyle tCaptaim, Thomas.

There are few schools that can produce a team of this calibre, as is shown by their record. There is also a smaller team, called the Midgets, which has a regular schedule and has some prospects of good material. This past season was very successful from the standpoint of games won. These two small but dynamic squad had their practices several times each week on the back campus. Their games were played at Nesbitt Stadium. The season was begun this year by playing the formidable Hanover Junior High School, a team which had previously tied the Juniors, 7-7. In this game our boys were the victors, 6-0. The second, third, and fourth consecutive victories were gained at the expense of three strong teams: West Pittston High Reserves, Kingston High Reserves, and Dallas Township High. In the biggest game of the season at Lancaster, the Franklin and Marshall Academy Juniors, in atonement for a previous defeat, forward passed their way to Victory, after the Wyoming lads had been holding the upper hand during the greater part of the fray. The Juniors quickly drew out of their slump and decisively defeated Dallas Borough High, 13.0. In the final and most interesting game with St. Leois High School the Juniors proved their worth by defeating a high school varsity team, 13-0. First Row Heft to righn: Ht Pugh, F. Bialek, F.

Varsity gaskefgall WOR years the Pettebone gymnasium has been the scene of Wyomingis Victories in the field of basketball. Per- haps never before, however, has it witnessed such closely contested battles or such fighting spirit as it has in 1931. Nearly every game was won or lost by a few points made in the final period. Perhaps the most thrilling victory was that over Allentown Prep., when the team overcame a large lead in the second half and won in the last minute of play on a field goal by Gufhe,, Pugh. The team was captained during the first half of the schedule by iiPedroi, Davis, whose uncanny shooting eye and agility on the floor made him a big man for his size. In the latter half of the season, the squad was led by Ellis Patton, probably one of the most popular all-round athletes the school has known. Pattyish good sportsmanship and skill inspired his team-mates with such grit and determination to win that it may be said that the school has never had a hner team. Among the other dribblers were Malinski, Pugh, Wopii Davis, and Sites. Many other experts were also developed, for Professor Smith has, as usual, raised a bumper crop of remarkable athletes. Each year we find more of those produced by his training, starring on college teams. First Row: J. Osmaniski, F. Morgan, 0. Shafer, H. Quay, R. Uhl. Second Row: R Sahm, J. Uhl, R. Smith, W. Barnes.

The Junior dribblers may be said to be the most successful of this yeafs teams. They galloped through a difficult schedule without a single defeat. Moreover, we can expect to see members of this squad taking a prominent part in varsity competition. Harvey Quay, who has taken part in all of the Junior sports, was elected captain. His skill and popularity were instrumental in the suc- cess of the squad, as was the tutelage of Doci, Darak, veteran of several varsity sports, who served as coach, chaperon, and referee. The deacon has developed a well-organized unit of ball-tossers, and we hope that next year, when he has gone on to greater glory in college athletics, we shall be able to find another coach half so capable. Others whose performance is worthy of comment are Budil Uhl, diminutive forward, who like Davis of the varsity, has shown himself capable of big things; John Osmanski, Budish partner in the basket- shooting end of the game and one of our most promising junior athletes; Charley Shafer, the fast, long-legged center; and Fred Morgan, who with Quay defends the home basket as guard.

Varsity 361565414 1930 BASEBALL has long been the greatest American sport, and each year it becomes more popular in colleges and preparatory schools. The year 1930 was not remarkable as far as the number of games won may be considered, although for a school of less athletic prominence than Wyoming Seminary, they might be considered excellent, in the face of such impressive opponents; we may even quote that aristocrat of the speaking platform, Emlyn Hughes, as publicly re- marking, The usual string will pitch and the outfield will catch? But we ought not to base our judgment merely on the scores and upon this uncalled-for sarcasm from the Bishop? The team, under the benevo- lent leadership of Captain Doc Darak, has shown good sportsmanship and hard fighting against real opposition, and this without the support of the howling multitudes which follow our football squad. Moreover, some excellent players, notably Darak, Brominski, Sprow, and Bialek, have been in evidence. These mighty maulers of the horse- hide pill are with us again this year, and are even now warming up in the gymnasium, giving dyed-in-the-wool fans plenty of food for thought. Professor Smith, whose coaching has produced successful teams in base- ball, basketball, and reserve football for years, is confident that this year,s team under Captain Buckh Bialek will bring great results in the way of victories. i .J First Row Heft to righU : Sarkis, Habicht, Kelley Hiaptaim, Kucinskas, Boyan.

Wrestling, 1931 WRESTLING is a comparatively young sport at Wyoming, but it has already taken its place as one of our most popular athletic events, both for the spectator and the participant. A large squad turns out every year, and although only two meets were contested this year in Pettebone gymnasium, the building was crowded to capacity on both occasions. It is a notable fact that during the history of wrestling at this school, there has been on the squad only one man who had ever wrestled for any other school; and there has never been a varsity letter man who had had wrestling experience previous to his matriculation here. In other words, every varsity wrestler has been developed by Coach Bishop. The leader of this years team was Captain Kelley, who wrestles at 155 pounds. Those of last year,s team who returned included Art Ku- cinskas at 165 pounds, Sarkis at 135 pounds, and Habicht, who wrestles in the 145 pound class, although his weight is considerably less. Remark- able skill was displayed in defeating Columbia University Freshmen and tying with Cornell Freshmen. These teams rank among the best in the East.

But, of course, it was never really developed until it came to Wyoming Seminary. The average student, like Bill Magan, probably is not aware that at that time the half-mile bicycle race was a recognized event. Since then, however, many changes have oc- curred. Each year linds records harder and harder to break, and the 1930 team leaves to 1931 some splendid marks at which to shoot. The 1930 season was eminently successful, for the team defeated most of its opponents and was placed second in the inter-scholastics, de- feated only by Kiski. This years squad consists almost entirely of newcomers. Pugh is the only letter man back. However, some fast men have reported, nota- bly, Spencer, who tied the state record of 10 2-5 seconds in the 100,1; Brookman and Vincent in the half- mile; Rosenthal, a member of last year s squad, in the hurdles; and Yaroshefski, who holds the state discus record of 128 ft. 9V2 1n.

On the contrary, tennis is the most strenuous of games and demands the agility of a jack-rabbit, the endurance of an Indian, and the steadiness of hand and eye of a sharp- shooter. The ball shuttles back and forth across the net with the rapid- ity of a rifle bullet and the eccentricity of a Mexican jumping bean. There is no relaxing of Vigilance for a moment; one slip, one miscalcu- lated shot, and the point is lost. Excellent facilities for enjoying this sport are provided at Wyom- ing Seminary. There are four clay courts for boys at Nesbitt field and four grass ones for girls on the back campus. Every year a tournament is held among the boys, and the six ranking highest are chosen as the Varsity Tennis team to represent the school. The players, coached by Professor Parker, himself an expert player, always become quite pro- ncient. The 1930 team fought nine meets against powerful opponents, and, although through the lirst part of the season Lady Luck seemed to be against them, they came through at the end With several marked Vic- tories. Much of the success of the 1930 season was due to the consist- ently good playing of Captain Bill Pierce. Left to right: Prof'. Stevens OCoacm, Duran, Harper, R. Kosek, McGuigan. A.

A swimming club has been established, which, although not recognized as an official school sport, has faculty sanction and has established an enviable record. The scheme was fostered by a group of the more aquatic-minded students, who elected Baring Cough- lin as their captain, and raced to victory in a large majority of their meets. The idea of forming such a group was excellent, and we sincerely hope that the successors of the brave swimmers of this year will continue the good work so ably started this season. Professor Stevens is to be thanked for the time and labor he devoted in helping the raw material get down to fighting trim, and for the advice and encouragement that helped to promote such a supremely successful season. It is a fine accomplishment for a group to organize itself and get so compactly down to business as the Wyoming Seminary Swimming Club has done. A list of meets held, some in our pool, some in Scranton: Junior High School tScrantony 27, Wyoming 39; Junior High School tScran- tom 36, Wyoming 35; Technical High School tScrantom 20, Wyom- ing 55; Central High School tScrantom 32, Wyoming 34; Technical High School tScrantom 34, Wyoming 37; Central High School 41, Wyoming 34. t1641 4'; a ' 1 9 3 1 . in R BOYS' PElT'TEBONE GYMNASIUM gnfmmuml Offlzlefics-430xinq GIHE manly art of self-defense5 was mastered by a record breaking number of boys at Wyoming Seminary this past winter. For the past few years, Wyoming Seminary has held boxing tournaments to determine the champions of the school, but never has there been shown greater interest than was demonstrated in this year1s tournament. Some very good boxers were discovered and the bouts proved to be very exciting. Such young men as Sobeck, Pethick and Ignatovig, revealed such boxing ability that they merit high praise. The results of the final bouts were as follows: . In the 100 pound class, Latorre, the small Italian who comes from West Pittston, defeated D. Evans; in the 105 pound class, Stegmaier de- feated Baldwin; in the 115 pound class, Hoyos defeated J. Evans; in the 125 pound class, D. Williams defeated Fassett; in the 135 pound class, Kosek won by a technical knockout over Bennetto; in the 145 pound class, Ignatovig defeated J. Davis; in the 155 pound class, Ayre won by a technical knockout over Ollendike; in the 165 pound class, Pethick won by default; and in the 175 pound class, Sobeck won over Turpin in one round. Sobeck and Pethick staged the most unique bout of the day. Coach Smith and Professor Sampson both voted a draw, but each fightefs sup- porters believed his protege had won. m 7-3;: Thewqominq 1:19.? 1 ' gr 1 ;-r,4 v '1 First Row Heft to righti: M.

Jones girls i Baskefgall QrIRLS must have exercise and recreation, as well as study, to keep fit physically. As a result of this opinion held by the majority of girls, many recruits came to the gym after the first summons had been issued. The eagerness of the girls, coupled with splendid coaching of Miss Hyde and Professor Brace, soon determined the hne quality of the chosen team. In all their games the girls did themselves justice. Each one played her best, and, as a result, scores could not help but be in their favor. With Mildred Harrison as their captain the girls worked with a Will and were amply rewarded. Some of the teamis opponents were the Wilkes-Barre Institute, Coughlin High School, and Scranton Tech- nical High School. This year Miss Hyde instituted a series of inter-class games which afforded much pleasure to everyone. The Seniors, after a hard struggle, attained the final victory. Wyoming Seminary has always adequately provided for the studentsi enjoyment of school life. By means of the girlsi basketball team, much pleasure and beneficial exercise have been gained by the feminine participants of this invigorating sport. Wyom- ing,s ideal of a well-rounded life, both physically and mentally, is furthered by the existence of this fine girlsi basketball team. Without a doubt, the future teams will equal the records set for them by their predecessors. First Row Heft to rightl: Logan, Williams, Jones, Harris, Kane, Banker, Evans, B.

In response to the hrst call for recruits came many students trying for the different positions on the team. From the many enthusiastic candidates, Miss Hyde was able to select a team diliicult to surpass. After a brief training period, came the traditional game between the members of the Adelphian and Plattonian Societies. In this first attempt the Adelphians emerged victorious. By the showing of the different girls in this game, the coach, Miss Hyde, was governed in her choice of the team. After electing Ruth Brown as their captain, the girls set to work in earnest. The team practiced diligently for several weeks and then met their first worthy rival in the Y. W. C. A. This game was the first of a series of games which displayed the results of concentrated practice. Other games were played with the Wilkes-Barre Institute and with Saint Ann,s Academy. The girls performed nobly, and deserve credit for their faithful practicing and for their dauntless spirit maintained throughout the season. With such a splendid example, future teams can do naught but uphold the fine records of their predecessors. In expectation of another year of keen competition on the hockey field, Wyoming can feel certain that her daughters will not only equal, but will surpass this years splendid record. GIRLS. NESBITT GYMNASIUM, SPRAGUE HALL V I 7 QU'ZS gymmmum JEMINARY girls combine with their academic pursuits a lively course in gymnastics and sports. In the fall each gymnasium class swarms over back-campus during the regular class period, passing hockey balls back and forth, learning new strokes, and brushing up on old ones. The hockey team plays other school teams until Thanksgiving, at Which time the new gymnasium in Sprague Memorial is again put to use. All attention is then focused upon basket- ball. A varsity squad is selected which always has a full and stimulating schedule for the winter months. In March, classes are instructed in clogging, tap-dancing, apparatus work, and interpretative dancing. A tumbling team which is organized after Easter shows great agility in the annual gymnasium exhibition later in the spring. At this time some very amusing and healthful dances and games are presented by classes and individuals. As soon as the weather and condition of the ground permit, regu- lar classes in tennis are held, sometimes in the gymnasium, but more often on the courts in the Nesbitt Stadium. A tournament is conducted to decide the champion girl tennis player of Seminary. To complete the excellent gymnasium course, the girls are offered the advantages of a new swimming pool. Seminary may well be proud of her splendid health crusade. 'fiw-rw? Cs i; l .. 44-. SPRAGUE HALL SWIMMING POOL 30w, Gymnasium 61113-113 gymnasium curriculum is di- vided into three parts. The first is the hygiene course, consisting of a series of health talks given to the students every month by local doctors, and tests Which the students take on the more simple, elementary facts of health. These health,, classes are held on Mondays. The second part of the course is the actual gymnasium work, which consists of various setting-up exercises, drilling, and such games and con- tests as basketball, indoor baseball, obstacle races, etc. Class wrestling and boxing also play an important part in this branch of gym work. The third branch of work is the most enjoyable to the majority of the students. Swimming is on the program twice a week. The shouts in the swimming room which echo through the ventilators testify to the good times had below. Beginners are taught the fundamentals of swimming, while the more expert race, dive, and play more or less un- orthodox games of water-polo, and follow-the-leader. This year, as an innovation, life-saving instruction has been added, teaching the boys the useful approaches and holds used in the rescue of the drowning. This work has been proved to be very beneflcial, both as to the actual knowl- edge of life-saving gained, and also as an aid to personal development. Left to right: B. Coughlin tSeniorl, G.

Glzea 36618675 CMEARS and years ago, a chunky youngster from the city of Wilkes-Barre decided to follow in the foot- steps of his father, who occupied the bench of the Luzerne County Court. This ambitious youth decided above all else to become the possessor of such a voice as would make his presence felt in any gathering. Thus Baring Coughlin developed lung-power to such an extent that, when he became a student of our school, the position of senior cheer-leader could not be denied him. And Baring was a good cheer-leader. Any- one who saw a football game last fall remembers the peppery ease with Which he led the cheering section in the school yells. Coughlin is also a swimmer of note, and a remarkable tennis player. We do not fear for his future, for we know his enthusiastic nature will always see him through. Our Junior leaders did yeoman service in inspiring Wyoming ath- letes in their quest for victory. The diminutive liJackie,, Evans the of the unruly hair and broad smilel, together with Bob Smith and George Dickover, were active every minute and are to be congratulated for the llzipl, which characterized their efforts. You were real models of true Wyoming spirit, George, Jack and Bob, and we wish you the very best of luck wherever you may roam. . ,, L, wm .gs S m n w T. C A T N E D U T S av Qwepfion GllfHE roar of the motor of the great airship Wyoming was heard amidst the excitement of the ushering in of new students. Alethea Jones, our very capable captain of the Y. W. C. A., guided the newly begotten crew of bewildered girls into the Swetland family, whose members received them cordially and straight- way imbued them with the feeling and spirit of being a part of the illus- trious Swetlandites? Henry Schooley, furthermore, acquainted the new boys with the Wyoming and thus tried to incite within them the courage to master the great plane. The new pilots were informed that the great plane would seem at first hard to manipulate, but when once conquered, it could be easily manoeuvered. After being introduced to the members of the reception committee, each person was given a program. This started the moulding of friend- ships which were destined to persist throughout the year and even to continue for years hence. The signing of programmes was indeed an excellent opportunity for the making of new acquaintances without being formally introduced, for, on each program, space was allotted for the individuaPs name and address. Still conversing very earnestly, the guests were requested to come into the Association room where they were presented with an enjoyable program. The program opened with the singing of an old favorite, Wy, Wy, Wyoming? Henry Schooley, Cap- tain of the Y. M. C. A., gave the address of welcome. A most entertain- ing reading was then presented by Eslye Nelson. Coach Smith offered a very interesting talk on athletics which was delivered in such a manner as to appeal not only to athletic fans but to all. A piano solo by Florence Bridge followed. The alumni address was given by Mr. A. J. Barber. The program came to a close with an address by Dr. Sprague. The guests were then invited into the dining-room where they partook of delicious refreshments served by the members of the refreshment committee. This reception has always been held in Swetland parlors. The par- lors are divided into three rooms, thus allowing ample space for enter- taining. Lounges and settees were placed along the sides of the rooms. Very attractive bridge lamps gave a soft effect to the rooms, and the whole made a beautiful picture blending with the colorful and sparkling gowns of the ladies. The outsider surveying the entire three rooms would be very much impressed by the enthusiasm of the members in meeting their old friends and making new ones while dashing from one room to another. He could have observed an exuberant smile on each member as he shook hands and chatted with his friends.

The girls, gymnasium was skillfully decorated. Soft-colored lights gave forth a mellow glow which imparted a pleasant atmosphere to the entire room. Flowers and potted plants were placed at intervals about the walls. En- trancing music floated down from the stage. The fair Swetlanditesf adorned in all their finery, tripped lightly across the floor and mingled with blushing football men, timid new students, and awed Freshmen. Immediately the new student was made to feel at ease. He was met by one of the old society members who, after introducing himself, led him to the presidents of the respective societies and introduced him to each. Then he was given a card upon Which his new friends might sign their names. tAt least we believe this to be the purpose of the cards; we can think of no other reason for having themJ Following this pre- liminary procedure, every one talked with every one else for a time. OWe are glad to say that at least a few of the most famous of Wyomingis romances originated at this reception. Who wouldn,t be inclined to be- come slightly romantic under the spell of the latest popular pieces played by an accomplished orchestra and with soft lights shedding their varie- gated tints throughout the room?.i George Hemstreet, Master of Cere- monies, called for silence and introduced Mary Wall, who delivered a welcome address in behalf of the societies. After Margaret Heidrich had given a fine reading, refreshments were served. The purpose of this reception each year is two-fold. Through it, one is able to become better acquainted with both the faculty and his fel- low students. Also, opportunity is given to gain knowledge of the four societies, their activities, and their members, as well as their beneficial influences and importance in the life of Wyoming Seminary. In truth, the societies are important factors in the activities of school life. The Amphictyon-Independent Debate offers an incentive to compete in ora- tory to those who are so inclined; the hockey games between the Platton- ians and the Adelphians create much interest each season; the dramatic contest between the societies, each society producing its own short play and entering it against the others, furnishes an outlet for demonstration of dramatic ability to those who may not have been fortunate enough to have secured a role in the main play produced by the Dramatic Club. From time to time, speakers are secured who are most helpful in their addresses to the societies. tLEI't to righU : Morton Blum.

Immediately, the new idea met with approval and aroused great interest among the student body. The debate this year was no exception; the approval and interest have been increased with the passing years. On Friday afternoon, January 16, at two oiclock, the Amphictyons and Inde- pendents engaged in their'annual contest. Emlyn Hughes, the first speaker on the affirmative of the subject, Resolved, that the present practice of nation-wide adver- tising is harmful to the American public both from a social and an economic stand- point? developed his arguments from the social standpoint. He, with splendid oratoricai ability, pointed out that modern advertising encourages dishonesty in business, that it appeals to the lowest motives in man, and that it, forgetful of beauty, over-emphasizes the material thought of existence. The first speaker of the negative, William Logan, explained that advertising is a lawful necessity, indispensable to economic life and well-being, a social benefit. Adver- tising is, from his standpoint, educational and sincere, honestly advising peop'e that they may make wise purchases. Frank Woolsey, to whom the economic side of the question was allotted, further developed the arguments of the affirmative by stating that modern advertising is the Left to right: Frank Woolsey, Samuel Morreale tAIternateL Emlyn Hughes, 6kg gnfer-Sociefy $656056 cause of unnecessary luxuries, increased selling prices, and in addition, untruthfulness, destruction to life with patent medicines, an agent in decreasing self-confidence, and an unnecessary waste. Morton Blum, with his usual humor, concluded the last speech of the debate proper, and the two teams withdrew in order that the alternates, Samuel Morreale of the Independents, and Maynard Cohen of the Amphictyons, might prepare the rebuttal. The rebuttal was doubly interesting because both teams so skillfully attempted to disprove each other,s arguments. The four speakers contrasted vividly upon the plat- form, as Mr. Logan cleverly assailed the validity of his opponents' arguments, Mr. Hughes Claimed inconsistency on the part of the negative; Mr. Blum, with his cogent arguments, wit and satire, stood out in bo'd relief against the affected gravity of his fellow debators. Mr. Woolsey replied with 21 studied refutation. Rev. W. H. Littebrandt, who delivered the decision of the judges, awarded honors to both societies. Although the Amphictyons were awarded the victory, the prize of twenty-five dollars was received by Emlyn Hughes of the Independents. The debate was assisted at intervals by several pleasing musical selections, Miss Alice Fischer at the chapel organ and Miss Isabel Porco at the piano. We take this opportunity to express our thanks to them for their renditions. May the spirit of the Inter-Society debates in the past be carried on and even increased in the future by our many successors.

It is an event of interest to all, as it em- braces members of the four school societies. The first speaker, the contestant repre- senting the Adelphian Society, was Miss Erma Rumbaugh, EMLYN HUGHES Who had chosen as a SUbjeCt wninAM .LOGAN Independent uYOUth,S Dream Of Life,,. She Amphictyon pictured ambition as a youth astride Pegasus, who flxes his eyes on the heights above him. She further dealt with the driving power of ambition, high ideals, and a strong belief in ones goal and ones self. Miss Rumbaugh presented her oration in a forceful and powerful manner. So well was her oration delivered that the judges saw fit to award her the twenty-five dollar prize. Miss Rumbaughis competent opponent was Miss Ruth Pealer from the Plattonian Society. Her oration dealt with Sophistication . She de- fined sophistication as mere, fallacious deceit,, and showed its true evils. She mentioned how crushing it was to the fine ideals and dreams of youth. The oration was very original and remarkably well-delivered. 0f the two male competitors, Emlyn Hughes 0f the Independent Society was awarded the prize. His oration dealt with A Philosophy of Life . Mr. Hughes ease of speaking immediately endeared him to his audience. He introduced happiness by its contrast to pain. He showed how everyone strives towards happiness, each in his own way. He con- cluded his oration with Henleyts famous poem, Invictus . William Logan capably upheld the Amphictyon Society. He had chosen as his topic, Americais Destiny? Mr. Logan developed this political and social question by mentioning Americais present status and predicting its possible future. He made it seem the duty of every Ameri- can to keep going forward and not backward. His oration revealed much thought and earnest words on the subject. Because of his in- terest in his subject he held the audiences attention throughout. 'The program was varied by several interesting musical num- bers, all of which revealed sin- gular artistry and beauty. Un- doubtedly, this years Oratorical Contest was one of the most in- structive and entertaining of ERMA RUMBAUGH any prgsented at Wyomlng sem- Adelpmn inary 1n the past several years. RUTH PEALER Plattonian ix , t m 656 giallo webz ?arfq CJIFHROUGH the haze created by the swift-mov- ing propeller of the huge airship, Wyoming, one could discern nothing but a mass of brilliance intermingled occasionally with orange and black. As the movement slowly but gradually ceased, one was able to recognize immediately Pettebone Gymnasium transformed into a picture of inhnite beauty. Soft colored lights shone down on an exhilarated group of youthful individuals, ciad in unique and spectacular costumes, blending beautifully with the color scheme of the decorations. Japanese lanterns designed in a mixture of figurative objects hung from the balcony. From one side of the balcony to the other were extended streamers, orange and pink, attached to the lights in the middle, thus forming a colorful sky over the gymnasium. Suspended in haphazard fashion between the Japanese lanterns were colored balloons and streamers. One could readily sense the truly weird atmos- phere typical of Hallowe'en. Various games were played into which practically every one entered enthusias- tically. Then those in costume assembled for the grand march, a prize being awarded to the two individuals having the most attractive and the most grotesque costumes. The encha.1ting melodies issuing from Professor Peckis orchestra served as a source of enter- tainment while refreshments were being served. Time was stealthily passing. Our departing friends were bubbling over with ecstasy, already anticipating the attendance of our next Halloween party. As the propeller again began to spin faster and faster, once more one could see only a mass of br'liiance intermingled with a jumble of color. Che Gilrisfmm ?cmfy DN a brisk evening in December, the Wyom- ingis propeller came to a stop, and the scene of a Christmas party was revealed in Pettebone Gymnasium. Madame Fitzmaurice presented the Glee Club which favored us with the singing of Christmas carols. Perhaps the chief interest of the evening was centered in the play, uThe Beanville Community Tree. We readily realized the dramatic ability of some of our pilots who entered into the spirit of the play zestfully. The first scene Was that of a country store with all of its appropriate peculiarities. The next scene was a church Christmas party. All the boys and girls home from the various schools and colleges took part in the church program. Ann Jackson, one of the participants, rendered one of her Jewish stories, which brought an uproar from the audience; a very effective dialogue was delivered by Janice Berkowitz and Carl Funke; George Snyder and Keene Mitchell were especially amusing. All faces were presently turned to the door, for dashing to the stage came Santa Claus, laughing jovialiy and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Professor Abbott took this part in a Capable manner. Presents were given to those taking part in the play and to students in the audience. Good-natured laughter accompanied the opening of these gifts, many of which were extremely amusing. Following the play, delicious refreshments were served. All left possessing the spirit of Yuletide in their hearts and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. gnJoor Sports , WYOMING has not been made famous by its indoor sports, because until this year there has been but one, and that is not organized as a school sport. Bowling is this pastime, which, though unofficial and unorganized, is excellent fun. The bowling alleys in Pettebonc Gymnasium are frequented every day after school, and although no future champions are reported as yet, many arm muscles are strengthened by this fascinating game. This year, however, some of the bright, energetic students, aided and abetted by Professor Bacon, formed what is incorrectly known as the Rifle Team? There can be no team without opposition; so the proper term is IIClubfi Nevertheless, club or team, an interesting phase of sport has been developed. In one of the old unused bowling alleys in the boys gymnasium, a system of movable targets was arranged by Professor Bacon, tables were made for the shooters to lie upon, a steel plate was bought for a backstop, and the fun began. The members of this organization, having gained parental consent to participate in this new sport, lay down on the tables, and armed with twenty-two calibre rifles, endeavored to hit the small black spot which seemed to dance up and down so amazingly before them. The rifles used were of bolt action, but as many of the marksmen were unacquainted with this mechanism, jammed guns were common. At this point Professor Bacon undertook to direct matters with his steady hand. He gave suggestions as to the arrangement of the tables, divided the squad into groups for convenience, organized a system for distributing the cartridges, instructed the unskilled, and, last and most important, with a small file and great patience, stopped the guns from jamming. We admire him for his ability as a leader and an organizer, and thank him for his pains and trouble. We hope that some time he may be glad to say of a famous marksman, I taught that fellow to shootV As all difficulties had thus been straightened out, the confident amateur returned to his table, sure of success. Being careful to follow all instruction exactly, he fired his clip of five shots, and then, by the ingenious system of bicycle wheels, pulled his target back without crossing the line of fire. In his mindis eye he saw a score that would require an adding machine; so imagine his shock of surprise at finding a twenty or a twenty-five point score out of a possible flfty! In an outburst of wrath, he blamed gun, clip, and sights, realizing much later that it might have been his own fault. He tried again with slightly better results, and, encouraged, continued to increase his score. Of course some days were hard, but the enjoyment that came from those afternoons of shooting, with the crack of the guns in his ear, and the pungent smell of powder gladdening his nostrils, are never-to-be-forgotten memories. i p? 5 , 5qu n, . x .

Everything and everyone are so new! I have to bunk with a boy who is so much older and sophisticated than I that he truly inspires terror in me. I shouldn,t admit it, Diary, but I am rather certain of the fact that I am horribly inferior and unintelligent, compared With the rest of the force. This morning I waved to one of the girls. She is so attractive, but I,m so positive that she would never even look at me. Her name is Mary, I believe. Mary is infinitely lovely. Oh, a professor saw me wave to her. Do you suppose that I shall receive demerits? Do you think he might send me home? Oh, Diary, I should die! What would the home folks think? I worked until twelve last night on my studies, but didnlt retire until about one because I had to write home after that. My little mother will be proud of me if I am a success as a pilot. Oh, she is my only sweetheart. How well I remember the pathetic voice she used when she told me not to get any of those new ideas at air school. I was late to breakfast this morning. The Dean did not recognize me, so I walked out and came in again, pretending I was someone else. I did not realize that everyone saw me or that my hair was dishevelled and my tie awry, until later. Such mortifica- tion is overwhelming! How can I ever face the student body again? What will they think of me? I simply can,t understand the mechanics of aeroplanes. I imagine that the teacher finds me frightfully stupid and diflicult to teach. Back on the farm I was considered smart. Oh, Diary, I want my dear mother and my dear father! I would also like to see Molly. Molly is a lovely cow. I have only half an hour left to dress for dinner, so I must start to get ready now. Sometime during March. Dear Diary, My roommate is the most trying idiot with whom I ever came in contact. He is so Childish and hopelessly collegiate. I wish I had drawn an intelligent companion. Mary and I went for a long walk together this afternoon. It was rather inspiring for her and even somewhat for me. We went to tlChurchis afterwards and ate. Mary is a charming girl. I only wish that I cared as much about her as she does about me. Somehow I feel rather sorry for her. Itls peculiar that we never received demerits together. I went to bed last night at nine. I am awfully tired because I walked so far with Mary. Studying seems to me an inane performance, indulged in only by foolhardy persons. I wonder what my fond parent would say if she heard me say that. Poor woman, she, too, adores me. That Professor of Mechanics of Airplanes is so inferior. Ah, six bells; that means dinner and Mary. Nite. ' t1821 $ay Student Eife cllfHE complex life among the students here at Seminary can be resolved with difficulty 1nto two distinctive lesser lives, the one that of the boarding students and the other that of the day students. Both these classes of life are indispensable to the school; and although they are individual to no small extent, they remain so well com- pounded into a single product that differentiation between the members of the one class and those of the other is a matter of minute observa- tion. As the result of many years of research and experience carried on in the midst of this brilliant combination of lives, there can now be tabulated in a convenient manner the characteristic qualities of day- student life that set it apart from boarding life. Inasmuch as boarding students-better call them pupils-never arrive more than twenty min- utes late to class, those happy-go-lucky ones who so nonchalantly Straggle in just in the nick of time to hear the next dayis lesson assigned are imme- diately recognizable as good 01, day students. Then, too, if it looks as though it needed fully ten hours more sleep that morning, its a day student, to be sure. It is interesting to understand, furthermore, that there exists a difference in the iidiseasesi, Which afflict those of each of these classes. Among boarders one finds numerous cases of idontfeellike- gettingupites and leprosy, whereas the healthy, robust day student suffers only from athletes footeyou know, he steps but from car to curbeand spring- -fever. But even with these entirely particular attri- butes, the day student cannot be discerned Without careful scrutiniza- tion; so there must be divulged a great secret, the only appreciable differ- ence between the day student and the boarder. It pains us to reveal such a heretofore well-guarded fact, but Duty calls and we of this staff have attempted to be ever dutiful. Upon the following truth let all ye who would unravel the mystery regarding the identification of a day student base your judgment. If it socializesi, with little precaution or with no apparent fear of being seen, and it is not compelled to seek out the inner- most corner of Churchis or Evans to do so, again it must be heralded as a member of that glorious group known as day stupidsf, no, no, I mean day students; appearances do deceive! All other properties of day student life are shared with boarding life, and it is with proud pleasure that we all profess a claim to them. For they involve such memorable joys as genial friendships, delightful com- radeships, mutual struggles to overcome common obstacles, and, above all, congenial co- operation toward a single goal-culture; mental, moral and physical. 6kg fRoyal OFJQV 0f groungeg glyers DNCE again in the eternal cycle of months, June has arrived for her brief stay, June, at the end of which we shall have won out wings and shall have left forever Wyoming Semi- nary. Into the Unknown we shall carry memories, memories of all that has occurred during these four eventful years at Wyoming. Most are pleasant, and a few, though unpleasant now, may well become amus- ing in later years. Among the latter we may rest assured that those seemingly endless periods spent in plodding up and down in the rear of our barracks Will stand out. Here, those of us who are not skilful enough to conceal our petty crimes, Who become too adept at chewing gum, wrecking beds and rooms, talking back to superior officers, hurling jelly beans in Study Hall, almost automatically, through the benevolent generosity of Flight In- structors Bishop, Smith and Roberts, join that famous organization of Wyoming Seminary, the R. O. G. F., or Royal Order of Grounded Flyersf, At the twice-weekly meetings of this noble order, surplus energy may be tapped by, to use the vernacular, lltotinl cannons, tiring dogs, and slingin, apple coresb tthe last remaining remnants of feeds, in the barracks abovel when the back of Herr Oberlieutenant Sampson is turned and his eagle eye is hxed upon some more interesting object. Bear in mind that Swetland Hall is always in view. Indeed the latter thought is one of the chief attractions of the R. O. G. F. When the weary line of marchers turns ineath the easements of Swetland, it does not do so with- out hope that one of the many suppressed desiresb may be visible to im- bue her laboring suitor with new zest, new ambition. Pride is pride, but it appears to be a cautious signal either by hand or eye, or, for the more daring, to mumble a few words of endearment as he passes in turn near- est to the object of his affections. This time-honored custom is well illus- trated by the appropriate, entrancing, and alluring motto: Join the R. O. G. F. and See Swetland? tThe personnel of the R. O. G. F. is rather curious. All members of necessity must be master criminals, although some are more talented than others. By dint of the reputation gained through two long years itwo years too long for the peace of mind of the more rational boardersl Thomas Morgan, the champion gym-skippef, and general all around nuisance, has cherished the secret ambition to become Top-Sergeant, but he is thwarted by his runners-up, Turpin and Hoyos. Truly, weill never forget the R. O. G. F. Long may it live!

We have discovered, and tbus frankly admit, that what- ever success may have been attained herein is not to be accredited to us alone: Rather is it to be divided among us and more capable others, wbose willing eforts counterbalanced our own shortcomings. Accordingly, we extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Atkins of Craftsmen Engravers, Inc, for his bene- f$cial suggestions and enthusiastic co6perati0n; to Dean Fleck for his wbole-bearted interest; to Profes- sor Harold Brown for his waluable counsel; to Miss Helen Brown for her splendid art work; and, more generally, to all interested ones who by their indis- pensable aid, whether witb regard to their beautiful contributions to the literary and art composition of this book, or with regard to their financial support of our work, have made the realization of our plans a successful possibility. ADVERTISEMENTS Our Gilgvertlsers THOSE who have made such a publication as this a financial possi- bility deserve our attention. Thus we would ask all our friends to observe the advertise- ments of this book carefully. Without them this Annual of 1931 would have been im- possible. They are good and reliable-we may ascertain thateand we trust that you who have been so aided by them shall return the favor in patronage. On doing this you shall discover the best of everything in what they have to offer.

OQ'O OARDING SCHOOLS have become important factors in the educa- tion of youth. Young people have advantages there to be found nowhere else, especially if such a school has a pronounced Christian character. Under the direction of refined and devoted teachers, looking after social and spiritual, as well as intellectual development, young people get a broader and higher view of life. They get new ideas and quickened impulses to activity. Their association with young people from other sections of the country spurs them out of ruts into new thoughts and broader purposes. These are, some of the advantages of a good boarding school. THE WYOMING SEMINARY is such a school. It gives to YOUNG MEN superb advantages in preparation for college and for law, medical and theological schools. Students enter Yale, Princeton, Wesleyan, Syracuse, Cornell and other leading colleges without condition. It has one of the best Business Colleges. The WYOMING COLLEGE OF BUSINESS is second to no commercial school in the country. Business men have contidence in it and employ its graduates. Some of its former students have become millionaires. Many are occupying high positions in nearly every state in the Union. The Seminary gives to YOUNG WOMEN superior courses in Art, Music, Elocution, Home Economics and Litera- ture. It prepares girls for Bryn Mawr, Goucher, Vassar, Wellesley, anc other woments colleges. Colleges admit on our certificate. Special ad- vantages are offered to parents who want their daughters to have careful training for the home, for society and for the Church. The number ad- mitted to our Boarding Hall is fifty-six. These are under the care of the preceptress, with seven lady teachers as assistants. PHYSICAL CULTURE is provided for by two gymnasiums and by one of the best athletic fields among the schools of the country. lllllllllllIIIlllllllllIlIIlIlllllIllIllIllIIIllIlIIIIllllllllllllllIIIIllllllIlllllIIIllIllIllIIIlllllllllllIIllllIIllIIIIIIlIIIIIIllllllllIllllxllllllllllllllllll For full information concerning the Seminary, send for catalogue to L.
