VEN Scotty has his excuse ' i i I for living, and, strange as it A -, may appear, we also are to p be pardoned the atrocious 5 Q i f crime of breathing the sarne air with Professor Cliff, or even drinking with him boiled milk for breakfast. Q rr If? WZ!! you please excuse us f l A wi R for !ZlZlZ'7Z55' ? lb X Z lx Our reasons for this must necessarily resolvepthemselves ,J into the nature of a declara- if tion-and a declaration, too, of independence. For, When, in common run of events it becomes necessary for a class of students to dissolve that surface seeming which has' hitherto bound them to their most Auguste Faculty QGod save the 'marklj and to assume in the bivouac that separate, and of course equal, station to which their own egotism, and, We may say, their absorbed priggishness, entitle them, a decent respect for themselves and for their August Faculty KG. S. T. requires some sort of apology for thus afflicting the World in general and a certain gent1eman's dear public in particular. Sutferance has been the badge of all our mem- bers, iwith the possible exception of a few who wore the fla w li i XZ .1 I ,Q WW W Mi lf L i ,,, 1 'lic ei if ll whip 5 cognac symbols of the defunct Phi Religitio in spite of Billy Greene's edict and in defiance of presidential authority. To prove all this let cold facts be served up cizlvlzcibille. The Class of Ninety-three, like others before it, was obliged to submit to indignities innumerable, all of which, however, we bore with becoming patience. We have been imposed upon and have had our feelings- hurt more than once, yet we have borne it all without a murmur. VVe have been dubbed conspiratorsh, thieves, scoundrels, knaves, revolutionists and even anarchists, yet we opened not our mouths. We have suffered these and many other wrongs in silence, and, like Uriah Heep, we have been meek and 'umblef' But a change has taken place. The coveted sheepskin now hangs in each and every home and the time is ripe. For the first time in history of the High School, the students have risen in their might and determined upon a declaration of their independence. The story of our thraldom we have learned too well, nowflet it be submitted to a candid world. ' The die has been cast. We are slaves no longer. We are free and independent lordlings and as such have full rights to declare war-war to the knife-or teeth, whichever you please--and conclude our own peace. The other acts and things we propose to do as well, but in our own time and in our own way. For the present we submit this declara- tion of what mea? fo be to the intelligent and the fair-minded reader. As students we were ever attentive to our duties, and, in the face of prejudice, malice and envenomed spleen, ever cheerful and happy. And yet beneath that gay and frivolous exterior .there was lurking a canker-worm which was slowly eating its way to the surface. The chrysalis has broken and now it lies before you. 6 UZ 1, Www I . . . yyggq-TQ . . .

The establishment of the Central High School was- authorized by an Act of Assembly, approved june 13, 1836, which provided That the Controllers of the Public Schools for the city and county of Philadelphia, be and they are hereby authorized, whenever they shall think proper, to establish one Central High School for the full education of such pupils of the public schools of the First School Dis- trict as may possess the requisite qualifications. A building site on juniper street, below Market street, was purchased by the Board of Controllers, and the corner- stone of the first building was laid September 19, 1837, and the school was opened October 26, 1838. The corner-stone ofthe building southeast corner of Broad and Green streets was laid May 31, 1853, and the building was dedicated june 28, 1854. For a short time before the opening of the new building 'the sessions of the school were held in the Model School House, on Chester Street, between Eighth and Ninth and Race andzVine streets- The Legislature of the Commonwealth gave to the school the distinctive feature of a collegeethe power to confer degrees-by an act approved April 9, 1849, which provided, That the Controllers of the Public Schools of the First 26 .isif J I'vfiQ:'5f'- - 'f zu 'Q T V 4 -x'.':u 1. PhOto'by Sword. ' ZQ r V ' , ' y K i School District of Pennsylvania shall have and possess power to confer academical degrees in the arts upon graduates of the Central High School, in the city of Philadelphia, and the same and like power to confer degrees, honorary and other- wise, which is now possessed by the University of Pennsyl- vania. The Board of Controllers, on September II, 1849, resolved, That the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall here- after be conferred upon all pupils of the High School who shall meritoriously complete the four years' course, and the degree of .Master of Arts upon such graduates of not less than five years' standing as shall, by their general merit, in the judgment of the committee, entitle themselves to that distinction. ' Prior to june, 1893, there had been admitted to the school 13,490 students. Over 4,000 students have graduated in the four years' course of study and about 2,300 have taken certificates in partial courses of between two and four years. The first organization of Alumni of the school was entitled The Alumni Association of the Central High School of Philadelphia, and was founded in 1843. In April, I873, El1C present organization was incorporated by charter from the State of Pennsylvania, under the corporate title of The Associated Alumni of the Central High School of Philadelphia. The Association was reorganized in 1886, when new officers were elected and new by-laws adopted. The by-laws were amended from time to time and were finally revised and amended june 25, 1890, and February 15, 1893. The purpose of the Association is to perpetuate the friendly relations and attachments formed while fellow-stu- dents, to unite their energies and inli-uence in promoting the interestsof the school and of the public school system of , ,27 Pennsylvania and to contribute to each other's welfare and advancement in life. There are now upwards of 1,300 names-on the roll of members. Meetings are held semi-annually and receptions annually. The Association is accumulating a valuable collection of archives, such as class histories, memoirs, commencement programmes, biographies, catalogues, magazines, books, pam- phlets, and other documents relating to the school, its pro- fessors and students. A general catalogue ofthe school was published in 1855 and a later edition was issued in 1861. In 1890 a catalogue of the officers and students of the school from 1838 to 1890 was prepared by the Association and pub- lished by the Board of Public Education. The Memorial Library was established by the Associa- tion as a feature of the semi-centennial celebration of the :school in 1888. It is located in the school building, and the books are in constant use by the students. The Library con- tains about two thousand volumes, which are carefully used and kept in good condition. It is under the auspices of the Board of Managers, and is managed by the Librarian, who is elected by the Associated Alumni. Assistants are appointed by him from the Instructors of the school' and a sub-assistant from each class. A committee of the Association is actively co-operating with the Board of Education and City Councils for the early erection of the new school building, at the southwest corner of Broad and Green streets, opposite the present building. The Association is in almost constant correspondence with former students of the school in all parts of the country, and thus helps to preserve the interest of the students of former days in the old school. as The officers of the Associated Alumni are as follows :- fJl'E5Z.CZ7E7Zf, Hon.

The morning of June the 29th found a large and perspiring audience gathered within the Walls of that dear old Chestnut Street Opera House to do honor to the Graduating Class of Ninety-three of the Central High School. The extreme heat did not seem to have any effect upon their good nature, for they only smiled when Calder entered in a light suit and showed no desire to leave the house efz masse when Harshaw had Hnished discussing his taste for reading. The entrance of the class was regarded by many as the joke of the morning. Baldy Hassler played for entrance music a Columbus March of his own composing, and which march, bythe by, he has dedicated to every graduated class since 1876, besides palming it off as original upon the last three graduated classes of the Manual Training School. We could have had it dedicated to us, too, but We declined. Well, I-Iassler would have that march played, so he smuggled it in as a Columbus March. He played it over several times before we condescended to come on. just what occasioned the delay we are not prepared to state, but it was such an 32 ' awful balk that Wright fell asleep under some scenery before we got started, and had to be awakened by poking a live electric wire in his ear. Finally, however, we got on, and then came the opening prayer. It must have been a very excellent prayer, for we observed Schock seemed visibly affected at the close. Some irreverent wretch in the back row yelled out Qin an audible whisperj towards the more solemn part, Gee whiz! Birnie hasn't even bowed his head, Duck younhead, Birnief' Following the prayer the exercises proper commenced, and were all gone through with as programmed, closing with a valedictory address, which will long remain with us. The keynote of this last brilliant effusion of Willie Bray's was, Caesar was ambitious, therefore I slew him. Some ob- jected to this as being personal to Scotty, but they were only a few of Scotty's worser enemies. . The scene at the Manufacturers, Club that afternoon and evening was one of far greater interest. Here Charlie Hun- sicker was unanimously re-elected president, and Gorham and Moyer were duly sat upon for their injudicious acts ! Fol- lowing came the banquet, with dear old Srnittyfi Willis and Johnson as guests. Here were read the History, Poem and Prophecy, each being received with loud manifestations of delight. Interspersed throughout the evening were numer- ous rfecifzzfizfes from two irrelevant crowds down at each end of the horse-shoe table, These' parties did not hesitate to say just what they pleased, and tender allusions to Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth and a certain candle were sandwiched between Bonnaffon's refreshing stories and appeals to Mr. lVlacDuff to lay on. Roberts also furnished the crowd with much in- nocent amusernent, while Smyth with his red-light story, VVillis with his reminiscences, and Johnson with his advice, 33 ' helped make things merry and kept the ball rolling. When the toasts came up Charlie Hunsicker gave some ministerial talk on our Alma Ma!er,' jones gave us some stale facts about the Faculty, Bonnaffon made an ass of himself trying to tell jokes on the class 5 Moyer talked about Me and myself in the sports, Long, as one of the kids, told us something which was supposed to be funny but which We all knew, z'. cf., that We were all kids onceg Morgan eulogized the women folks, and Ukers advertised himself and all the other people on the Jllizfffor for the last time. The only drawback to the evening's enjoyment was the fact that Roberts had no knife or fork and that Wright ate some olives, which Winsmore told him were pickles, and which subsequently caused poor Wright to groan in spirit. Smyth called upon Stoker to tell what he knew about town and then Stoker replied that he guessed Smyth knew more about it than did he QSchocking!j Numerous others were called upon, the fun lasting until nearly two o'clock. When the time came to depart a depression of spirits succeeded the evening's gayety, for all realized that this ban- quet was the last time that the members of good old Ninety- three would meet as school-boys. A shade of sadness fell upon us all as we bade each other good night, some perhaps forever.

The wine-cup, the wine cup bring hither, and let us fill it once again and drain a last glass to good old Ninety-three. Our four years' stay in the Central High School have been years of pleasure and of profit. As a class, we can look back upon our school days as one of the happiest seasons in our short stay upon this whirling mud-ball. During the Freshman year we were dis- '4 ' tinguished for our close attention to study. During the Sophomore year we were distinguished for our marked antipathy for study. As Juniors We were the observed of all observers, because of our then distin- guishing characteristic-devilishness. As Seniors we were typically grave and reverend, yet at heart few were so gay as we. It was not until the junior year that class spirit made itself manifest to any marked degree. During that year, at the corner prayer meeting, fa civilizing agency of great mis- sionary valuej and in the yard rushes We first came together ' 1 35 in a heterogenous class mass. Men who are to-day mere nothings in class affairs were powerful in those days, and it is these same terrors we have to thank for their efforts crude though they were, to bring the class together as a unit. During the junior year we first encountered Prof Christine- and his Political Economy. Like our predecessors, we kept the ball rolling in Room 8, andvmanaged to make life mis- erable for this fisher of ducks. We had the usual quota of suspensions and exciting scenes in other rooms, and earned the reputation fgiven, by the by, to every classj of being the worst class that ever passed through the Central High School. 7 As a class, we enjoy also the proud distinction of being the only class ever suspended as a whole, which pleasing event took place during the Junior year in consequence of our having undertaken to teach Maurice discipline as it should be worked. VVhen we entered the school there were two hundred of us, besides Maguire, bringing the number up to a grand total of two hundred and sixty. Of this number, nearly Hfty failed to return in the fall. Allowing for the usual number of losses by failures to pass examinations, partial course students and losses from dropping off and transference to other colleges, it is something to be proud of to say that we graduated in june, 1893, eighty-four men, all of whom attained the required average. This is also the first time in the history of the High School where a class has graduated all its members. VVhy, even Peter Brearly made it! During the first part of the Senior year the class did not work so much together as they might have done had party factions been less numerous. Still, in spite of this and numerous other drawbacks, the Class of Ninety-three has, 36 perhaps, done more as a class than any that has preceded it. It was largely due to its untiring energy that the New High School became a fact. In addition to this, the class has pub- ilished a model M9'7'07', and bettered in every way the athletic .and social standing of the school. Nothing that Ninety- three has ever done can be said to be a dishonor to her name 'or that of her Alma jllzzter. She has always fought bravely for the proper recognition of the school at home and else- where, and has ever aimed to raise our institution above the -rank of the common local school, and make it truly the ' College of The City of Philadelphia. So much for the class as a whole. Much more could be said about the members individually. But space will not .admit of any lengthy dissertation. A few statistics may, per- haps, be welcome, and these We give. Out of the eighty- four members, eighty-three smoke, chew and swear CNorman Roberts is the one exceptionj. Twenty-seven drink like :fishes and the remainder drink like human beings 5 twenty are Episcopaliansg two are Methodists, seven are Sweclenbor- gians, ten are Irish Catholics, nine are Universalistsg three .are Baptists, twenty are infidels and ten are heathens. Twenty are in love-nineteen with girls and one with himself fArthur Brayj. All of the Physical Section are con- firmed liars, and three attended the laboratory exercises. None of the Regulars studied Latin, but several made believe they did. The art of high-low-jack is practiced by fourteen, 'but Moore and Jones shake dice. Seven members can drink whisky straight, but Stoker takes it half and halfflj Six eat with a fork and all the others with their mouths, except :Scotty-he is fed with a spoon. All the Classicals wear cor- sets, except Korndoerfer, who wears a sickly smile instead. Two of the Chemicals know something about chemistry, but 37 the remainder know more about ocloriferous compounds. Bonnaffon wears white socks, but Brearly doesn't wear any. Schaffer's peculiarities could not be obtained, because the magistrate refused to admit him to bail. In the Scientific Sec- tion all the members cut their hair except Moyer, and all use razors except Matos, who uses a hoe. Greenfield is the tall- est in the class, and Rose is the shortest. Smitheman has the biggest mouth, and it is supposed Roberts has the small- est. Several are patrons of the horse cars, and two use the omnibuses. In fine, all the members are 'fools-it is only a question of degree. QNION Q Q Qx i 67 N' ' 13:25 -'Pl H wc, -Mffifv-lililrwillP4lfelflliizalllgivzeilllwsieiessfllifualzllgeffeqsii.e,:e'siMH-1 F Q .

They were events, of the same nature as those which, at times, cause the disturbance and upheaval of every well-regulated family on this terrestrial globe. They were events which had been looked forward to for months, with mixed feelings of anxiety and happiness. Of course I shall not name what I am writ- ing of My respect for the modesty of those who may read this is too great. If I was in- sensible to this I might proceed with 7'Z1S'QZlE and Dickens-like candor. Butl am aware that Eddie Bonnaffon Qwho is to be a theological epicurej and the Rev. Wm. G. jones will certainly peruse these pages. I am also aware that Richard 39 Moyer and D. Bushrod James will read them, and, knowing this, I am afraid of calling down on my head the condemna- tions of these pure-minded gentlemen. Then, again, the Hon. George Howard Cliff A. M. Ph. D. will read it, and prob- ably he will say, as he did when the M?7'07 stated that two gen- tlemen of the junior Class were fond of the Bow-knot Series of Pink-covered Novels: This is not fun. It is getting beyond the boundaries of joking into the territory of scurrilityf' Whereat the class laughed. Therefore Qpro- nounced thurrfur by Col. B. F. Lacyj, let it suffice to say that when the long-expected event did occur and the excite- ment had passed away, the head of the family realized that he had, in the words of the doctor, been presented with As fine a boy as I ever laid my eyes on. And a few days after he would say, in response to the solicitous inquiries of inter- ested friends, Both getting on finely, thank you. Both get- ting on finely. Now these two hundred and sixty-two additions to Ameri- ca's population were successfully engineered through the trials of babyhood by their fond parents. At the early age of three months papa bought little Sammie Davis a bicycle. This accounts for the speedy riding of Sam and of his love for the renowned Col. B. F. Lacy. Willie Ukers was taken to see a play called The Adamless Eden when he was five months old, and ever since he has been going to the theatre trying to find a chorus girl named Lillian, who captured his young heart at that time. Bill Jones found a pack of cards in his father's pocket, and at the early age of six months taught himself the tricks of poker. And so on ad i72jLZ7ZZ'fZl77Z. But there is one curious fact which cannot well be omitted. This is about our beloved Scotty. Scotty was raised on condensed milk. When the time came for him to 40 be weaned he absolutely refused to give it up, shaking a for- ensical foreiingeru at those who made the attempt, and deliv- -ering a lengthy tirade on the rights of Young America. So they let him have his own way, and to this day he lives on -condensed milk. There are even rumors that he keeps a goat for the express purpose of disposing of the numerous condensed milk-cans which he discards. It is owing to this habit that all his teeth are milk teeth. But to proceed. When these two hundred and sixty- two became well enough advanced in years they were sent to school. They all went, and went regularly-to a certain extent-except Bob Dillon, who staid at home studying the science of ward politics. It is said that when Bob was seven years of age, having a luxuriant growth of red moustache, he marked the number .21 on the soles of his shoes, and was ,allowed to vote, after he had sworn that he was over 'i Zwmzjf- one. But I will not vouch for the veracity of this. At any rate these fellows all went to school, and in the -course of time passed through the different grades of the Philadelphia public' school system. They went from the primary school into the secondary school, and from there into the grammar, and finally, in june, 1889, they met to- gether for the first time at the Central High School, ready to go through the ordeal of their first High School examina- tion. Of course 'there were many more than the two hundred and sixty-two who came to that trial. But with 'them we have nothing to do, for it was that number who successfully passed the examination, and who, on June 27, 1889, were formed into the 98th Class of the Central High :School of Philadelphia. Then ca-me a two months' vacation, and at its end, on the first school day of September, about two hundred and . 41 h twenty-five of the members of the new class answered the roll- call. The remainder of the two hundred and sixty-two had decided duringtheir vacation that the High School would prove too good for them, and that they had better not study there. Every fellow in the class remembers that Hrst day. How we stood in little groups all about the front sidewalk, talking and surmising as to when they would gather us in, and as to what they would do with us. Every one was there but Willie Ukers. The train from Germantown was late, and he was late likewise. And then we were brought into- the school and shown into the big room which we heard called The Chapel. We were all quiet with awe and wonder, all except John Wright, who immediately started talking to Sam Campbell about electricity. Then we were given numbers and seats, and divided into classes, and assigned hat-boxes, and given rosters, which were like so much Greek to us. Johnson fif he reads this, he will please imagine Prof before the namej had his coat off, and was limp with perspiration, which some unrecorded wit remarked had got the drop on him. He puffed and pouted, and ordered and shouted, and swore funder his breathj, and finally bundled us off home to come back in a couple of days. The scene is before me now just as plain as it was then. VVe would sit on those benches, and as some professor passed wewould whisper to our neighbor, Who is that? And. then the fellow who had had a brother in the school, or, as- in the case of Nusbaum, had had six brothers with two to- follow, would answer, delighted to air his superior knowl- edge, That's Christine, or, That's Miller. Well, in the course of a few days we got used to things in general. In a week we could read a roster with some 42 slight degree of accuracy, and we knew which stairway to go up and which to come down, and we knew the way to the P1'esident's room. But we had learned some things which we afterwards found to be fallacies. For instance, we thought that we should .vlmiy every lesson, and nfzse to prompt or to be prompted. But that was 'the grossest kind of a mistake. And we thought that we should do what a professor told us to do. But you can all see the error in this. And so we made numerous slips of this kind, which were corrected only after a little experience. During the first period we were truly green. VVe stood in perfect awe of the professors, we did just as the upper class men bade us do, We cautiously explored the building and located the rooms 5 and last, but by far the most' impor- tant, we became acquainted with'ourselves. We began to know each other,- and to form friendships. But these friend- ships were limited to the classes into which the whole class was divided. The fellows in H1 knew very little of those in H2, or H3, or H4, or H55 and it was so all around. Yet, within these sections the fellows fafzew each other. It was about this time that Willie Ukers met Dave Wallace, and im- mediately they started to form a partnership, with the same object in view as 'had Gilbert and Sullivan. The way of it was about this: Willie's name began witha U and Davy's with a W, and they sat next to each other. In the course of conversation Dave happened to mention that Verdi had sent him the proofsheets of his latest opera for approval, and that upon his disapproval, Verdi had immediately burnt the whole. He also said that he had helped Sir Arthur Sul- livan when he wrote the Mikado, and that he occasionally pumped the organ at his church for nfteen cents per pump, Willie immediately said that this was the man he had long - 43 been hunting for, and proposed that they should write an opera, of which Dave should write the music and lead the orchestra, while he QWilliej should write the Ziblfelto, enact the cornedian's role, assume the stage management, and write the press criticisms. ' After some argument as to how the proceeds were to be divided, Dave consented. The next morning Willie brought the Zz'b1feZz'0 and Dave brought the music. They put it together and called it Mignonette, or Dandelion, or Chrysan- themum or some other flower name. For a week Dave went about humming the airs, hoping some one would ask him their name, and Bill softly muttered the comedian's lines every time I spoke to him, expecting me to laugh. He had his company picked fall from Germantownj, and just about the time rehearsals were to begin he decided to wait until Wilson or Hopper died, so that he would have no rival in the line of comic opera comedians. And so the opera was shelved, and the Ukers-lfVallace Opera Co. was disbanded. But this is a digression. The second period came, and with it our freshness began. We had formed an opinion of Miller, we understood Berger, and we were dead on to Christine. We knew that we need not 'study if We did not want to, for we knew the fellow behind us, and knew that he would prompt. We had learned to call ourselves The Ninety-eighth. We were perfectly familiar with the school yell and colors, In short we felt ourselves in every sense of the word High School Men. ' With the third period, and the promotion into Class G, came the courage of our convictions. We gave free vent to our opinions of Miller, we proceeded with a sort of Hendish glee to make Berger's life one of cold, chronic misery, and regarding Christine, the man who ruled in Room 8-well, 44 with him, wesimply raised the devil. There was a crowd of fellows in H3 with Doc. Tindall and Timmins, and Trainor at their head, who seemed to have no other object in coming to the school save to make the professors wish themselves beyond that green hill which is said to be so far away. But time passed on, as time generally does, and with it passed our Freshman year. The exams were soon over- and We were Sophsf' But we lost a great many members that year. We started with about two hundred and twenty-Eve, and We began our Sophomore year with one hundred and Fifty. With the title Sophomore came arrogance. We used to lord it over the poor Freshmen, taking revenge on them for the injuries inflicted on us by the upper classes. About this time Dick Moyer began wearing pointed-toed shoes and parting his hair in the middle. Several ofthe boys began wearing tailor-made suits and walking about with the air oi' a- man who is satisiied with his dress. And so there were many little changes like this in almost every one in the class. We used to rush the Freshmen in the yard and at the sports. XVe felt big at the sports that year. There were a lot of medals taken by the class. Why, we had jimmy Leyden and Lawrence in the junior, and Tom Stenger in the Senior dashes. We had Dallam in the shot-put and the broad jump. There was john Gubbings in the mile and Archie McDowell in the half-mile runs. Dick Moyer won in the broad, Kerr captured the high jump. Theodore McDowell took the half- mile walkg and Sam Davis and Koons captured the medals in the bicycle race. These were the First victories that we had had, and we took the school by storm. In the fall sports of that year we were very close to the Seniors for the greatest number of points, and in the following spring we had forty- three points to twenty-nine of the Seniors. We were cock of - 45 , the walk and I guess we acted the part to perfection. We lionized the fellows who had won these victories for us. Tom Stenger was our special pet. Any fellow in the class would have given a hand for him. Tom was a good fellow, and every one was heartily sorry when he left. But all of our protestations were to nolavail, and Tom departed bearing withhim the regrets of every one in the class, because he would not stay, and win any more medals for himself and glory for the Ninety-eighth. . Then came the exams, those mean unscholarly things which every student thinks should be abolished, and which -every Faculty thinks should be perpetuated. And after a time the exams were finished and the promotions made. There were smiling faces for some, and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth for others. At any rate, we were successful, and the minor two years of our High School -course were things of the past. We were Juniors, and were now one of the upper classes. The hard study was now to -commence--so they told us. With us the junior year was a great year. It was not until then that the real talent of the members of 793 began to make itself apparent. We distinguished ourselves on the platform, in the field, on the track and in cleviltry. Some of 'us-distinguished ourselves in the class-room, but I am happy to be able to write that these were not many. In the fall of '91 we led the school at the sports with forty points to our -credit. The Freshmen were nearest us, with twenty-four. Ninety-two was completely snowed under. To use a slang -expression, We were away up in the band. Welwere the foremost class in the school in everything. We practically ran the Athletic Association to the almost complete exclusion of 'the Seniors. In fact, we practically ran everything that went. 46 ' Some time in the fall a few of us, in conjunction with the renowed and beloved professor, Hon. George Howard Cliff A. M. Ph. D., Esquire, conceived the idea of a literary society. XVe were not slow to act, and soon had the project in running order. We called it the Phi Epszlofz. This was not the full name, but simply the initial letters of the two Greek words forming the real title. They are very much longer than john Scott's tongue, and hence it is plain that they would take up too much room in this paper if they were written at length. We used to have debates in that society very much hotter than flame rnade by Kellar's new Bunsen burner, This is a fact, although Wright once questioned it. VVhy, it would get so hot up in Gifford's Hall that we had to take a recess and go down stairs to drink cider and eat ginger snaps. Once in a while some unprincipled scoundrel, like Bill Ukers, Bill jones or' myself, would break in on the second floor and steal as many handfuls of dried fruits, and of any other delicacies as we could find. Of course some real wicked ones, like Stoker or Shock or Dillon, would not go down in the store, but would immediately dive around the corner and come back with froth clinging to their moustache and their pockets full of crackers. There were great times at that literary society, and it furnished us all the amusement that we wanted while it lasted. When we come back to begin our junior year, we deemed ourselves well enough acquainted with the Faculty to proceed to have lots of real fun with them. We went to Straube, and Maurice, and Christine, and Schock, and a half a dozen rnore,'who afforded us the greatest amusement. The men in the Physical Section used to steal glass tubes from the laboratory and bring them up into Schock's ,room to use as blow-pipes. Joe Metzgar was the man who was most profi- cient in their use. I have seen him sit on the back row and W 47 plaster the face of the clock so full of spitballs that you could not read the time. And then he would make little White lumps all over the board, or hit Pop in the neck, or on the head, as he stood at the board explaining some figure in Trigonometry, and Pop would simply roar. A-r-r-r-r ! l ! he would say, with that ponderous voice rolling and vibrating about the room, you act like little children. ' When I was a childI acted as a child, but when I became a man I put army childish things !' But you're not going to make a fool out of me. And then, with his spectacles pushed straight up on his head, he would propel himself by means of those little bow legs back to the desk. Ah I we've had lots of fun with Pop Schock. And then there was Christine! Our own beloved Chrissy! How every boy in the class loves him, and loves to hear him lecture l There is no doubt that Chris- tine is a great lecturer. I once heard him deliver an oration in a public square. Before he was half through the people were wandering aimlessly about the park looking up into the trees, presumably to see where there was a good club. lrVhen he got through the band played Praise God from whom all blessings flow, and the people sung it with great strength and depth, of feeling. We have all seen some high times in Chrissy's room. I coulda not begin to name the number of times he has been simply crazy While we were with him. XfVe had the beloved Maguire with us in the junior year, and if ever one man did torment another, he did Christine. I-Ie would sit far bapk in the room, and at the least occasion would' applaud most uproariously with his feet and his tongue, at the same time pounding a book on the desk with all his might. Chrissy would glower and rage, but it was no use. Mac would sit serenely calm, with the facial expression of a cherub. I remember once when Christine was more . 48 angry than I have ever seen him before or since, it was dur- ing a lecture, and Chrissy was at the height of his discourse. I-Ie was explaining that We, the people of these United States, laid a tax for a certain purpose. We lay this tax for this purpose, said he, and then asked, Wlio do P expecting of course, to say, 'WVhy, we, Ike people, do. We lay this tax, shouted Chrissy, for this purpose. VVho do Pl VVe do, calmly responded Maguire from his rear seat. As I said, I have never seen Christine so fierce. He foamed and fumed and shouted. He sent four men from the room for smiling audibly at him. I-Ie offered ten dollars to know who was the man who said thatf, But he never knew. And so it Was. Chrissy would do something unfair to one of the boys and the class would commence. I have seen fellows who usually had thebest tempers in the World come out of -Room 8, all swelled up with righteous indignation. ,They would buttonhole a friend and looking him square in the eye Wouldisay, If ever I get out of this school, and get to have any iniiuence in this town, I'l1 be damned if I clon't try and get that man fixed. But the next hour they would go up and try to change that cipher into a ten. Of the times that We had in the classes with Straube and lVIaurice I have no space to attempt description. They were too Wild to say anything about, and the boys will not need any mention in The History in order to bring up recol- lections.. But there was one little escapade which is too im- portant to omit. I refer to the time when Maurice had us in Smyth's room and a parade was passing. 'Ne locked the door and hung out of the Windows, yelling and cheering like so many maniacs. Every time a pretty girl passed We would all say Ah-h l Every time a bewhiskered individual went 49 by we said Z-z-2-Z! We guyed the cops and the fakirs and every one that passed. Maurice was powerless to act, and it was pandemonium until johnson opened the door with a duplicate key and suspended the whole class. We fought to get back, but it was no use, and most of us lowered our mark by fifteen ducks. And yet the lesson did us very little good, for when we got back we werejust as bad, if not worse, than before. And so we went through our junior year, rais- ing Cain at every possible opportunity, and sliding easily out of the merited suspensions. By this time we were all known to each other, and for the most part were very well acquainted. Of course some of those fellows like Lodholz, or Kerns, or Hopson, who never had anything to say, were not very well known out of their section. But the greater part were all very friendly. And then, of course, we had leaders-the fellows who by some special talent had jumped into notoriety. Now there was Bill Jones. He could handle a deck of cards with greater skill than' the gamblers in the tales of Bret Harte. He always carried a deck with him, and he had a table in the coal-cellar, where he daily ran a faro bank and a poker game. ' It can readily be seen how his popularity came to be so great. And then there was Dick Moyer. He made arrange- ments with a Western syndicate whereby he was weekly furnished with a batch of religious stories. These he retailed at school in a manner which made the blushes rush to the velvet cheek of Percy Neel. A man like this must needs be popular. Again, there was Bill Ukers, who could talk the- atricals fromrmorn till eve. And Bob Dieck, who could talk any dialect that was required. And a host of other good fellows, all stars in their particular line. 50 But then there were some fellows whom we did not go into ecstasies over. There was Harry Lamborn, and the Bray boys, and Harry Godfrey-of whom we had a very poor opinion. They stzzrlicd and got high averages. And as we did not study and get high averages we held in contempt those who did. There was Natural-gas Smitheman, who told us at the banquet that we had all misunderstood him, We were not stuck on him when he used to get up and give Chrissy, our beloved Chrissy, points on the science of teach- ing. And we did not like Calder's blonde curls, or Gus. Korndoerfer's long coat and foot-ball hair. Nor did we like john Scott's milk-like dispositiong and we especially hated Charles Hunsicker, because the smell of the stable clung to him still, when he came in on mornings when he had previously cleaned the barn. But I need not go into dis- gusting detail. Let it suffice to say that we are now united by the bonds of friendship into a solid class. We had our favorites, and the politics became very much more compli- cated than those in which Bob Dillon was wont to dabble: When the time rolled around for us to elect a staff to take charge of the jlW7f7'07', things were particularly interesting. Charles Nason wanted to be editor-in-chiei and so did Bill Ukers. Dick Moyer wanted to be sporting editor, and so did Willie Matos. And the Lord only knows how many there were who wanted charge of the Normal School Department. Caucuses were held months in advance. The classes were polled and parties formed, and tickets made outg and for a couple of months there was as much commotion in the class as there is in a National convention. At last the elections were held and a staff chosen. Ukers was made the editor- in-chief Bradner was given the department of Belles Lettres. Fred. Newbourg had the personal department. . 51 Wi'llie'Gorham, the divine and much beloved Qby the girls,- Pop, was given the Normal School department. Matos was elected sporting editor. Al. Shaffer had charge of the ex- changes. The business end was to be run by the under- signed, generally called Bobbie, and Scott, the milkman, and Will Mearns were to assist. That was the M3f7'07 Staff who were elected, not because they were the best, but because they had the biggest pull. And so we worried through the Junior year. There was a good bit of work done during the term, but only a few of us paid any attention to it then. So that when the time drew near for the examinations, we were not very well pre- pared, and there was some tall hustling done. They say that even Bill Ukers studied. As for mysehf I do not believe this, but it was rumored, and I am bound to record it. At any rate he got through and he must have done something extra in order to do that. We all buckled down to hard work for about two weeks before the exams came, and even Bobs Dillon became so exercised over the thought that he might Hunk, that he stopped pulling that moustache and opened a book. At last they came, and were conquered, and we were-Seniors ! Therewas just eighty-four of us, out of the original two hundred and sixty-two, who composed the Senior class. One hundred and seventy-eight were either lost, strayed or stolen. They had either dropped out themselves or hadf flunked or been expelled, or from some such cause had deserted our ranks. And yet, we were, by a great number, the largest Senior class that had ever been in the school. Ninety-two graduated only some few over forty, and here we were with eighty-four, and that the remnant of two hundred, and sixty-two. n 52 Immediately at the beginning of the year, the .Mizfzfor :staff took hold of the paper, and during their possession turned out the best IWWW that has ever been published in the school. There were commendations and praises showered on it from all over the country, and not a few newspapers said that it was the best college periodical that had ever come under their notice. There is no doubt that all connected with the paper worked hard to make it a success, and by so doing they added much to the glory of the class. I am not writing this because I am one of them, but because I was right in the'midst of the work, and know it to be so. Let that be sufficient for the Mzrfroff. With the Senior year our interest in sporting matters began to decline. We had to work hard on the school work. 'Our Senior year was not a loafing year by any means. Yet, ,in the fall sports we had an equal number of points with '95, But we fell back in the spring. You see, coupled with the fact that we were all studying for graduation, our good, dear Uncle Nick had left us. During the vacation the temptation was too strong, and he may now be seen with a towel about Qhis neck, marking down the winners on a big slate in one of the down-town pool-rooms. Nick used to be a big support to the class in the sports, and we were left with but one leg uto stand on when he forsook us. I In the early part of the session some attempt was made to continue the Phi Epsilon, but it was futile. After a couple of meetings the thing fell through. Interest in it was V-dead. Some time in the fall, Bill Ukers, and a few more of his kind, started a movement to have the 'High School and the Manual Training Schools unite in a grand parade, whereby 'the bond of friendship between these institutions was to be i S3 sealed, and also, as a side issue, the cause of the new High- School building was to be furthered. Ulcers got the class. interested, and finally theschool. He formed the Central High School Association with his usual great organizing' power. He got the classes to drilling, appointing the re- nownedimilitary martinet, Col. Benjamin Franklin Lacy, as drill-master. ln the afternoons, after school, the yards would be full of students, all being well drilled. Ulcers was to be chief Mogul. Preparations of the same sort were being made in the two Manual Training Schools. At last the night: of the parade came around, and with it cameithe parade. Ukers was at the head of the line in all his glory. The High. School was first in line. , Numerous transparencies, bearing such inscriptions as, Tie up the dogs of war, and We want a new High School, etc., were plentifully besprinkled about the line. The Manual Training Schools had floats, on which they showed boys working. Imust confess that fi thought the whole thing a blanked piece of nonsense, and there were many more of the class who thought likewise, but, at any rate, the parade was a success, and there is no' doubt that the want of a new school building was advertised in such a way as to make it many friends. But to come back to the class. About this time a few of us, a select seven, organized the Mephistoesf' a body of men who call themselves by this devilish name, because their purpose is to do as much deviltry as possible. Every individual had an individual devilish name, such as Lucifer, and Beelzebub, etc., and their by-laws compelled them to raise to earth as much of hell as possible. Of course we needed money in order to graduate. And so, during the Senior year we gave two entertainments, the profits of which were to enrich the class treasury. In the , I S4 Hrst we combined our old style of musical and literary entertainment with a minstrel show. We made the mixture half and half and the success was so great that when we thought of giving another we determined to make it all minstrelsy. We did, and we excelled our former success. In the first show Bob Dick manipulated the tambourine, while the writer shook the bones. Dicky Moyer, with his hair nicely curled, was the interlocutor. Music was borrowed from current operas, and the glee club helped us out in the vocal line. The usual old and musty jokes were told, but notwithstanding, the affair was successful. The second entertainment was much after the same style, and was enacted by much the same persons, the exception being that Mr. Carl N. Martin, '94, took charged of the bones. Both affairs were highly successful from a financial standpoint. E Of the last six months of our High School life, there is little to relate in this history. Every one, was studying hard for the final exams, and the class, as a whole, was busy preparing for commencement. Every fellow was putting all of his time in on his books. Bill Ukers at last became a trifle exercised and frightened when he thought of his slim chances. But, said Bill, Fm an endeavorer, a diplomatist, and a poet, and I guess I'll pull through. Com- mittees of all sorts were appointed to arrange for coming events. Every fellow had some idea about the way in which a commencement should be conducted. Dick Moyer, who had just returned from Chicago, wanted us to introduce four French dancers who had danced their way into his heart in the Windy City. Ukers wanted us to hunt up his Lillian and have her display her shape, by means of cotton tights and bespangled velvet trunks. John VVright wanted us to let him do some chemical experiments in the place of Bill ss Bray's delivering the valedictory address. Calder offered to allow his hair to be cut on the stage in full view of the audience. And it was ever thus. Every one wanted his specialty to be presented. But Doc. Bartine very promptly sat down on all, and said that he was going to run that com- mencement to suit himself And he did. Finally the examinations came. We trembled visibly when the Hirst set of questions were given out. And as each day's work was finished we breathed a trifle easier. It took two weeks, but at last they were over. Then came the dreadful suspense of a few days until the announcements were to be made. On that day we assembled in the chapel, and the most of us brought along a strange feeling of anx- iety. Of course, with fellows like Lamborn, or Bray, or I-Iarshaw, it was simply a question of rank and average. But with us poor devils, who felt ourselves shaking in our boots, it was a question of graduate or be flunked. That morning Bill Ukers and I met in the back part of the chapel. Bill, said If it looks shaky. That's so, said Billg but I'm counting on three hundreds in johnson's, andI may chance to get through. You see,-lohnson is a'friend of mine, and the other dayl went to him and told him that unless he gave me three hundreds that I would have nothing more to do ,with him. I explained that I was going to be a great man son' 3 of these days, and would have lots of power and influence to .throw about, and then I would repay him, if he favored me now. Of course Bill may have been lying, but he really did get three hundreds. When at last the averages had all been read, everybody found that he was going to graduate. That is, every one in the class had attained the graduating average. Then we all felt good. There were congratulations all around. Stoker 56 and Shock, and a lot of that C0fL'7'ZiE, made arrangements to go down to a certain place at Fifth and Minor that night and get most gloriously exuberant about their success. Percy Neel actually went down town and treated himself to a glass of soda water. He was sick the next day, and the physician .said it was a case of surprised stomach. And then, in the course of a few weeks, came the com- mencement. It was like all other commencements, and I will not describe it here. The speakers were all excellent, .and everything passed off as smoothly as possible. johnson made his little speeches conferring on us the degree, and we revolved that diploma six times across the stage. Then we all went back to our chairs and wrote our name, with HA. B. .after it, all over our programmes. That night came the banquet. It is described at length in another part of this book, and there is no need to enlarge on it here. If is sufficient to say that we had the biggest kind of a time. The table was kept in a constant roar. Percy Neel got drunk on claret punch. Stoker tried in vain to bribe the waiter to bring us something hard to drink, but the waiter was proof Shock consumed eighty-seven cigars, to say nothing of the cigarettes and chewing tobacco. We went home at about two o'clock in the morning, feeling tired .and sleepy and ready to go to bed. , And so ended the school life of '93, Elm that day, the twenty-ninth of June, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, your class went out from the school which had been its home for the past four years. We are not now an active class. Our school work is done, and never again will we walk together up those steep flights of stairs, as we have done, nor will we be together, and able to prompt each other, as questions are put to us in life. We must now make our own 57 marks, and it depends on ourselves Whether they be tens or ducks. But we are still bound together by that love of the Alma Maier and our class, which should, and does, exist in the breast of each of usg and by those ties of friendship which were made iron-bound by those four years of close association. We are men now, and are coping with life beyond our school. Then let us keep up the class, for the continuance of this friendship, which should not now cease, but which should keep growing stronger until the last of us passes away. The curtain has been rung down on the last scene which ends this strange, eventful history. But the actors may sup together in the green-room. liliil' 1511325 WW li .3f,f W . .i? '11 rum ..,.

Let's chant a merry song, Let's praise ourselves, and praise our good old school 5 XVe've kept our heads at work' full four years long, Now let's break loose and play the merry fool.

Then some of us may say in after life, My Rhetoric has gained for me a wife. But, after all, we're glad to put aside X The well-thumbed books that clung to us so longg To sell the ponies that we used to ride, And cork the chemistry that smelled so strongg And shoot the mathematics, often tried, That would, in some strange way, come out all wrong.. But most of all, We bless the inspiration That saw us safely through examination.

Here's what we laborecl'harcl for all these years, And yet we almost welcome it with tears. 61 F Yes, Alma Mater, you have been severeg There was a stern expression on your brow, WVhich held us all in check, and healthy fear, And made us to your mandates humbly bow.

VVell, men of Ninety-three, the time has come VVhen we as High School Graduates must part, -One common bond unites us though, and some Have sworn eternal friendship-hand and heart. And ever stronger may those ties become, May guardian fairies use their every art- That in each cornrade's bosom there may be A warm spot for all friends in Ninety-three. Now, some of us will turn our thoughts toward gold And some will seek the sea, or battle strife, And some of us allow ourselves to mould, And some ,of us will try a country life, And some of us in science will grow old, But all of us will look out for a rays. For, whatsoever schemes may fill manls brain, I-Ie'1l want to be domestic if he's sane. And now, one farewell Hail to Ninety-three ! Hail to its hopes, its fears, its works, its joys.

And may this shout arise The biggest hail-storm that e'er swept the skies. 62 Now, proud Euterpe, I have sung my song, And played my part upon the stage to-night.

Once inside, I made known my pres- ence by shouting, ujenniel Jen- nie! I-Iello,Jen! Receiving no answer, I stretched my length upon the hall stairs and gave vent to something like this: Hjennie! Where the foggy tiger are you, anyhow? T L L I-Iello, Jen! This time I was rewarded by a faint, Well, what is it? from the probable privacy of a dressing-room, situated somewhere near the attic for aught I knew. ' 64 If you want me to take you to the opera to-nightf' raising my voice until it must have reached that attic dress- ing-room, you want to hurry yourself a little. Hearing no reply, I gathered my tired self from off the stair carpet, dropped into an easy-chair close by, and, heated, wearied and in no humor to be kept waiting, once more began to rack my brains for some idea to build a prophecy upon. For, perhaps, the twentieth time I mentally damned Charlie I-Iunsicker for selecting me to be Class Prophet, and for the four hundredth time I bemoaned my wretched plight. Oh, for an idea. An idea, an idea! I murmuredg 7151 new gif? for an idea! But none came. There was a slight rustle, followed by a patter of little bare feet on the stairway, and then from the upper landing a lisping voice said, Uncle Wooie, Uncle 'Wooiel mama says as she will be down in a minute. I groaned in spirit. Down in a minute. Oh ye gods, who ever made a Woman's minute? And then I thought of Gorham and Sid Earle. Now they both had sisters, and yet I wagered neither of them ever put in such minutes as did I, waiting for 'len to get ready. VVhy didn't jack stay at home and take care of her, now that he had married her? VVas I ever to be worried to death by her? Iasked. I thought I was rid of her when Jack carried her off, but it didn't seem so now. Satisfied, however, that I couldn't facilitate matters any, Isettled down resignedly to wait, and at the same time to torture my brain with a racking martyrdom in search of an idea. Then I think I prayed that the spirit of divination would move me with prophetic instinct. But it was useless. I-Ieartily disgusted with the whole business, I impatiently ejaculated, By Jove, I'd give almost anything for an idea on 55 how to write this blasted prophecy, when suddenly I became conscious of another presence besides my own. Discovery of discoveries, were was cz man in me room ! I arose somewhat confused and begged his pardon. I-Ie motioned me to resume my seat, and in the smoothest tones said, Don't mention it. I observed you were deep in medi- tation and so I entered without disturbing you. I-Ie bowed gravely and looked at me rather strangely, I thought. After a painful pause, in which I hastily noted his dress and air cZzQvz'z'1zgzze, I said, Well, sir, I do not think I know you, though you evidently know me. I 1- is there anything I can do for you, sir? H No-o-o, musingly, On the contrary, there is some- thing I can do for youf' Indeed? I returned, perplexed at his suavity and familiarity, though his bearing was unmistakably that of retined gentility. Yes, he replied. Briefly, I can grant your just ex- pressed wish. I can supply you with the idea, nay, more, even the material which you are seekingf' Oh, ho-o-o, I exclaimed, This 23 something like, Now I know I have fallen asleep after the approved manner of class prophets, and you Isuppose are he who is to grant me a somnambulistic revelation. Come now, is it not so? Are you not a Merlin or a Kellar? Like all devils, your assumed shape is indeed most pleasing, but I can penetrate your seem- ing. You can't hoax me like you have done other class prophets. I'm not so green as you think, VVhy, what --. I stopped. I-Ie had laid his hand upon my shoulder and now gently pushed me back into my chair, from which I had risen in my vehemence. 66 Are you crazy? he asked, while a faint smile played around the corners of his mouth-I could see it very plainly in the after-glow- If you think you are asleep, suppose you try a pinch. Here he gave my ear a severe twinge. I cried out with the pain. No, my friend, you are not asleep, but most painfully alive, as you perceive. Now, without further ado, let me explain this seeming mystery. I am a gentleman. I travel much and have seen many scenes. I am not a magician nor a conjurer. Iam simply a student and a humane man. I have returned but recently from an extended tour of the Orient. A friend apprised me of your dilemma. At, his suggestion I came to seek you out, I End you deep in thought. I hear you give voice to a wish I can gratify. I offer to do so. Is there anything strange in all this? . No, I answered, frankly, 'I what you say seems logical, but why should you interest yourself in me? I'll tell you why. You are a graduate of the Central High School--so am I. You have been chosen Class Prophet-I have suffered that agony also. Not wishing to be like other prophets, you have been casting about for some- thing ori-ginal. Thus far you have been unsuccessful. I return from my trip and nom my friend I learn of your dis- tressed state. I suddenly bethink myself of a plan whereby Ican aid you. I now offer to gratify your wish. I have determined that the Class of '93 shall have something which no class has ever before enjoyed-something new, something novel, in short, a ffm! live p7'0fh6'L'j!,' and this, being in my power to bring about, you shall have, even though a secret as old as the High School itself, be divulged in 'the revelation. I rubbed my eyes, and found myself still awake. But who are you, that you can bring all this to pass? , I 67 asked, still unwilling to believe the evidence of my senses, and what is this secret of which you speak ? H If you will come with me I will tell you all, he answered. VVell, I said, reaching for my hat, I'll do it. I don't know where you are going to take me, but if you can give me a peep at the future of some of the brilliant lights of '93, I'm your man every time, and I don't care a continental hang where you take me. 'vVell, we started. I forgot all about Jen, everybody in fact, except the fascinating stranger by my side and the object of wzhich I was in dutiful pursuit. A ride of some twenty minutes in the train brought us from the untamed wilds of Germantown to the civilized barbarity of Philadelphia. A cab ride of some ten minutes more and we alighted before--no-yes-the historic and muchly- maligned portals of the Central High School. During the whole journey my companion had not uttered a sound, but now he spoke 1- I-Iere we are. You know the place-let us enter! VVe did so. just how I did not notice, but my strange friend must have had a key, becauseI never knew George Washington I-Iuttenlock to leave that door unlocked after nightfall. Some wicked boys might have stolen Stuart's roll- book, or put bricks in Pop Shock's coat if he had. At all events, here I was at 9 o'clock at night, plodding up the worn-out stairway of the Central High School, with a strange gentlemen in sober black for my guide, and who was to reveal to me, in some mysterious way, the dark future of my classmates. And poor Jennie at home waiting for me to go to the opera! Now just what the High School had to do with the dim future, it being more properly concerned as a. relic of the dim past,I confess I failed to understand. es Yet, here we were arrived at the third floor, and still he kept on. I-Io, ho, thought I, now for it. Snyder's room, or Iill eat my shirt. fPet expression of Charlie Kye's.j VVe reached the first landing. The moon had risen, and its white radiance streamed through the windows and fell upon the face of my guide. I started-he was the perfect image of Billy Green! I-Ie looked enough like him to be his double. Strange, thought I, that I hadn't noticed this remarkable likeness before. And the more I looked the more I won- -dered. .The same diabolical expression of countenance, the same sarclonic grin and the same laughing devil in his eye! I had paused upon the landing while I made these observa- tions, and he had leaned against the balustrade to await my pleasure. I was just about to ask him who he was, anyhow, when I felt a thick covering thrown over my head, the moon- light faded away, and I felt myself being carried bodily .along I knew not where. I lost consciousness for a time, and when I awoke it was to gaze upon a scene, which, to borrow a transferred epithet, simply beggared all description. I think it was Snyder's room. It looked someilzifzg like it, at all events. My strange companion was still by 'my side and came to my rescue in the following words: You have now arrived. You are the First visitor who has ever attended one of these Walpurgis Nights. Look around you. I did so? Merciful Gods, spare Snyder such a sight! We were standing somewhere on the platform at the western end of the room. The bookcase containing Snyderis French and German hobbies, was on my right. The two lower closet doors, which in my time were always so securely nailed, and which led, no one knew whither, were wide open, and from them poured a constant stream of old, grey-bearded men, bearing skeletons, skulls and bones in abundance, the 59 all of which a few more daring of the class who have stolen upon the privacy of those mysterious closets know them to contain. These ghastly relics of the departed were being deposited in several huge cauldrons at the bottom of the room. From these cauldrons arose dense clouds of sulphur- ous smoke, completely hiding the astronomical charts on the walls, and even lapping the very boards on which we stood. Great numbers of grey-bearded men were scattered here and there about the room, uttering unintelligible malisons, and ever and anon poringp over the contents of the cauldrons. Such a wierd, uncanny gathering of cabalistic spirits I never imagined in all my dreamings. I turned to my companion for explanation. He divined my look, and said: This is the annual meeting of the 'Foggies' Assemblyg' to it be- long all those old foggies of the Faculty and the Board, who will ever be millstones about the neck of the Central High School. These are the men who stand in the way of its ad- vancement and improvement. Their motto is nihil 7Z0'I!Z.. These are they who are opposed to modernizing the institu- tion and wh'o religiously cling to all that is worm-eaten and ancient. In fact, so determined are they that the school shall not advance that they have formed this foggies' assembly, and here in this room once a year they hold high carnival. Here they meet to gloat over the success of their year's work. Here it is they weave their cursed spells, here con- coct their wicked schemes. And is this all? Nog not satis- fied with blighting for all time the prospects of the school by their wierd enchantments, the student, too, must perforce a victim fall. Here as each class graduates is forecast and de- termined the future career of each member. Over each one is cast the glance of the evil eye, and a blight must forever rest upon his life. His future may be ever so bright and 70 happy, but suffer he must at some time from this spell. Hither have I brought you to learn for a certainty the future of your class. These men are so accomplished in their art that they never fail to foretell correctly. Their predictions always come true. I alone, of all the graduates of this school since 1854, have escaped their clutches. Having once had the good fortune to fall asleep on Snyder's handy sick couch here, on a day on which they held their revels, I awoke about midnight and caught them red-handed at their work. It-was at first proposed that I should be sacrificed in the seething cauldrons you see there, but upon mature con- sideration and a promise from me that I would never divulge their secret, they decided to let me work out my natural existence without their aid. As years have rolled on, how- ever, they have become more and more wrapped up,in their selhsh selves,,ar1d at the same time more and more oblivious of all save their Hendish mission. I-Ience it is that you are here. They are so far advanced now in their evil work, and are so engrossed, that they will not notice either your pres- ence or mine., We stand here, two silent spectators on the Brocken, awaiting the revels of a witches' Sabbath. See, they are about to commence. Observe that shriveled-up specimen in the far corner. I-Ie has the book in which is written the future of each poor student. ' After the night's work is done the bones and skulls are all returned to their closets, and even the' cauldrons are hid- den away in obscure corners until the next year's graduating class required their use. No, these men will never die. There is very little hope of the school ever being able to shake them off The High School can never hope to be as great in the future as it has been in the past, unless some mighty changes take place. Already these men have lost to 71 the school a modern movement of great importance and un- doubted educational value. These foggies, like barnacles, will ever cling to the institution until some onehas the moral courage to sweep them off Yes, there is one man who can do it, but he is sadly handicapped. Still we hope for the brighter day that's coming by and by. But now you must observe the clouds of vapor arising from the cauldrons. Into these' vapors the members breathe their incantations, until there is to be seen the personal appearance and surroundings of each student in that future which they seek to blight. Oftentimes the results of their scheming is but too plainly evident. From each life a scene appears and while visible it is noted down by the recorder in that ponderous tome he's holding. At the conclusion he signs the name amidst awful groanings and direst incanta- tions. 'But see, they have begun. Ashe ceased speaking I heard a neighboring clock toll the midnight hour. I looked toward the rising vapors. A num- ber of dwarfed imps had joined the company. The old men had all gathered about the cauldrons in a circle and were chanting a repetition in monotone of the words, lfVe donlt want a new High School. We don't want the salaries raised, the streets paved, the trolleys up, the students to graduate anywhere but in the Chestnut Street Opera House. But now a scene was plainly visible, and the recorder was rapidly taking it down. It depicted one of our city's busy thoroughfares. Carts and wagons of every description were running this way and that. All was bustle and activity, and yet there was one wagon especially prominent. I made out upon its side the legend, Pure Condensed Milkf, Ever and anon I observed a dashing young fellow to swing himself with much dexterity 72 from the wagon to the pavement. I observed him with much interest as he gave those three fatal raps on each back gate, and which always brought a smiling house girl in response. I-Ie would make change with a winning way and pleasant smile, which always broadened into a grin when he entered the amount in his little book-and there was no mistaking that grin, it meant revenge, a mean, miserly milkmanls revenge 5 and so he went from gate to gate with his cheery cry of lVIilk! The scene faded, and then I saw pass in rapid succession a stand on which the well-known Egure of this same milkman was observed haranguing a large assemblage, while over the platform, in letters of Fire, I read, A man who has the courage of his convictions is worthy of the office of mayor. I am out for the office and I am not ashamed of it. I have always voted at my party's callLI have been called upon to vote since I was nineteen years of age-and I'm not ashamed of it. Then a large bulletin-board announcing the defeat of this milkman candidate, and finally a newspaper account of the unfortunate ending to such a noble career- suicide by milk poisoning-this followed by a coffin bearing the inscription, As usual-Scotty did it. John K. Scott, announced the recorder, whereat the old men groaned and heaped up many curses. I breathed a sigh of relief Ithanked my stars I could even up with Scotty for his mortality joke on me, and so I made this note :- Scoiiy was dead, Z0 begin wz'!!z. I looked at my companion. I-Ie was standing with his arms folded, his chin resting on one palm, and regarding the scene with the utmost indifference. But now there appeared in the vapor a doctor's office. I knew it from its general air of neatness, and was not at all surprised to observe just entering the room in dressing-gown and slippers, with two 73 l little mites tugging at his. coat tails, none other than Bush- james, our ever-smiling secretary. I smiled, too, when I saw him pick up a book from off his office table, bearing the title, W'ayland's Mental Philosophy, Revised by Dr. B. W. James. An openletter lay upon the desk. It was impos- sible to mistake the hand. Its concluding sentence was plainly visible. It ran thus: And now, in conclusion, my dear Bush., I may say, I always told your father you would be a credit to the family name, and I am glad you are verify- ing my statement. I thank God, and I say it reverently, my labors were not in vain. The recorder recorded, the old men incanted and the scene changed. It was now the sporting editor's room of one of our great city dailies. With shirt sleeves rolled up, his muscular development on free exhibition, giving orders right and left, with fierce moustache and voice of subterranean thunder, I recognized Bill Matos hard at it. Paintings of famous' bloods graced the walls: articles from the turf were strewn around, while a telegraph-tape, connected with the Glou- cester track, rhnning silently into a basket by his side, proclaimed Bill to have developed into a sporting character. The scene faded, and again, in the capacity of editor-in-chief of The Alrzbazma 5001736131 viewed him anxiously awaiting the results ofa contest started by himself in his paper-in which all the lady readers were voting for the handsomest man in Alabama. The bulletin-board, next shown, explained Bill's uneasiness. I The contest was a tie between him and Pop Gorham, whom I next observed seated at his desk in a cosy little office, on the door of which was painted, Editor of the Department for Boys and Girlsf' So both had landed in journalism after all, I murmured. But just then another scene revealed Pop Gorham the winner of the contest, and, 74 ' as a consequence, the elected president of the new Girls' Normal School, wke Prof Cliff resigned. The following scene in President Gorham's office was very realistic. I noticed now, for the first time, that by paying close attention Iwas enabled to distinguish the conversation which took place in the variousscenes depicted in the vapors. This was startling, to say the least, but as the scenes followed so rapidly one upon the other, I did not have an opportunity to- ask my guide for an explanation. You see it was this way, Gorham was saying to- none other than George Long. Cliff's methods were so insanely practical, that the committee were forced to impress upon him the fact that he was teaching a school of young women of intelligence and refinement, and not a kinder- garten of know nothings. Well, Cliff wouldn't see it that way and -so they ousted him, and here I am in his place. Who'd a thought it? I never would. The scene faded, and revealed another, in which Gorham and Long were observed in close confab-both now as leaders in the city's 400. The scene depicted was the foyer of the Academy of Music during a Charity Ball. Gorham and Long were dividing the receipts, and jangling over the amount to be given to the charities advertised, as beneficiaries. Tell 'em we didn't make zz1Wz'hz'7zg, said Gorham, have you forgotten your Ilbhfrozf dance-lesson? Tell 'em we didn't make anything, and it will be so much more for us! The scene faded before Long replied. From this fact I inferred it concerned Gorham only, and this inference was confirmed when the recorder wrote the name, William Kane Gorham, amid dismal howls from the old men. It was an office somewhere near Broad and Green streets, for I thought I heard the rumble of the 'busses. 75 Over the door was this significant inscription, The Long, Gorham, Lamborn Sz Craig johnson Company. Drawings for college students provided with dispatch and neatness at reasonable rates. New stock constantly on hand. Senior year graduation drawings our specialty. George V. Z. Long, Manager. Quite natural, I thought, that Long should manage it and be the motive power. I' George Valentine Ziegler Long, wailed the recorder, whereat the old men howled so long and so loud I am inclined to think they added some special incantation for the name. But the scene faded and in its 'place a concert hall came into view. It was sometime before I recognized in the young man at the piano with a Paderewski head of hair our dear Moore of sainted VVang memory. Yet, here he was, a great pianist in one of Londonis music halls, and evidently a prime favorite, for gifts of various kindsiwere bei-ng showered upon him. He must have turned vegetarian also, for he seemed to be especially favored with numerous varieties of cabbages, beets, turnips, squashes, and such like. Alone, behind the bars of a mad-house, the next scene represented him still playing a piano with desperate zeal, and this time I easily made out the title of the selection before him on the rack. It was, Selec- tion from VVang.', I-Ie looked natural and seemed quite happy. The scene which followed revealed Brother Dieck in one of his celebrated character sketches at the Bijou, fuming and blustering as of old. The audience was convulsed at times by his jokes, though I thought many of them sounded familiar. A moment's thought, and I remembered wherel had heard most of them before. 'Twas in Room 8-they were Christine's fish jokes. A second scene revealed Dieck retired from the profession and comfortably situated in a large arm-chair in the office of the Dieck Ice Company. 76 I rejoiced that he had profited by his ice-water experience while at the C. I-I. S. . This last scene had hardly faded from view and the sound of imprecations had hardly died away, when there arose a picture of a dashing sportsman, gayly bedecked in diamonds and posies, standing in the entrance way of his home, over which were the figures 1508. I easily recognized my dear friend, Bobby VVinsmore, who, in his present attitude of shooting reed birds from his front door-step, informed me that 1508 South Broad street was still out of the world, and that reed birds were as plentiful there as ever. I was puzzled to know where he had obtained his apparent wealth, of which he seemed to be making lavish display. The next scene solved the problem. It revealed our genial Bobby as having deposed Willie Thompson and reigning in his stead as Duke of Gloucester. The scene depicted one of his bacchanalian revels. All the wealth and fashion of Philadelphia and Camden had met to do him honor. The iiowing bowl was being passed around and everybody took a sip. Bobby, high up at the head of a sumptuous banquet table, lighted with a brilliant glare, had a bowl of his own. Becoming swelled with his vast importance as the feast proceeded, and being urged on by the solicitations of his friends, he arose to make a speech. Ladies and gentlemen, he began, Ladies and Gentlemen: When I was in New York, at the Yale-Princeton foot-ball match, do you know what I did? Well, I'll tell you. You see, me and Schaf-, but here his friend Schaffer pulled him down into his seat by his coat tails, and disappointment was plainly marked on all faces as the scene faded. I-Ie'll give that escapade away yet, I men- tally remarked, whifle the old men chewed curses for his benefit. 77 A series of vignette pictures now rapidly appeared and faded. My guide informed me that, as the class was a large one, expedition was necessary. In one scene I observed Charlie Morgan dancing before Eulalie and the Spanish Court. He had grown in grace and symmetry and, to judge from the number of medals and other marks of royal favor displayed upon his breast, he stood foremost among the accomplished of his art. He still wore short skirts, the better to display his dainty ankle and Ubeautiful tapir. Plaster casts of this famous ankle were being distributed .among the audience. In another scene I observed Stoker, Schock, and Schaffer, tryingto sing, VVhere is my wander- ing boyito-night? before a bar, while Fred. Nicholson, in the capacity of a bartender, dealt out the liquid poison from behind, and helped pilot the schooners over the bar, in yet another scene lVIearns and Sharpley were found sawing cat- gut in a German beer garden, of which Leon Kauffman .appeared to be sole lessee and manager. Here on the amusement stage Gengenback and his troupe of Y. IVI. C. A. 'tumblers were giving an exhibition of acrobatic feats. On the programme I also noticed that Fred. Gourlay's name appeared as manager of a company traveling as ' The Five of Spades, and producing a beer and music skit, entitled, How we Skinned 'em at Poker. In another scene Smithe- man was lecturing before the Smitheman Literary Union on Shakspeare and the Drama. It appeared to be the occa- sion of the first anniversary of the Union, and Eddie pre- faced his remarks by giving a short account of how he came to form it. He enlarged upon his wonderful success as an organizer, and as of old blew himself for all he was worth, fabout thirty-one cents, generally, including his hairj, and finished his discourse with a rendition of Hamlet's soliloquy, , 78 delivered in much his old-time basement style. I sighed. 4' VVould Ed. never let up ? I asked. Burch, as a circus clown, illurnined the vapors for a moment,and was followed by a scene in which Vlfright and Bowers were having a laboratory wrangle, at the former's office, XfVl'Ig'llt having at last reached the height of his ambition and become a successful electrician. It appears the trouble was over the ownership of some high- art pictures and several files of New York .Mnszk and Drrznzrz presented to VVright by Bobby Dinsmore in exchange for some trigonometry problems during his sojourn. in the C. H. S. Of course, NVright eventually got all the pictures, but consented to share the interesting reading with Bow- ers. A scene at the Academy of Fine Arts, in which Sam Davis was seen posing before a students' class in colors, was next shown in the vapors, after which the proscenium arch of a theatre became slowly visible. Gradually, the stage, with its settings, the fashionable audience and the crowded gal- leries appeared, until the whole stood clearly outlined in the misty surroundings. It was evidentlya gala occasion. The boxes and balconies were all draped with bunting, and society was present in its very best. I looked toward the stage. Was it possible? To my surprise, the actor who had just stepped on the stage, and who was now bowing right and left in acknowledgment of the proverbial storm of applause which had greeted his entrance, was none other than rny -classmate, Godfrey. My eyes wandered from him to the stage settings. There was no mistaking the scene-that was undoubtedly the castle at Elsinore, and the play was Ham- letf' And so Godfrey had taken to the boards? Well,I confessed I always thought he was cut out for an actor, he had at least one qualincation-his hair. I-ligh up in the gallery lob I noticed Pippitt in his favorite pose, hanging 79 over the gallery rail. Wfill Pippitt ever give it up P I asked, as the scene faded. After such scenes as these the appearance of Ned Bonnaffon and lfValt Matos as officiating divines at the wedding ceremony of Eddie W'ells and a certain miss with blonde curls was quite a treat. Eddie seemed to be very happy in his new possession, and this happiness seemed to be the worst the old men could wish him-but it is probable they saw a life of married bliss interrupted by blonde ringlets in the butter and the pie, who can tell? The next scene revealed Drs. Bonnaffon and Matos in an old-time scrap over Phillips Brooks and the Articles of Faith. It seemed quite natural for Bill jones to drop in during the discussion with his omnipresent pack of cards carefully! stowed away in his clerical coat. After some talk from Bill, in which I learned he was still abachelor, and that, because of his having thrown away so many good chances now more hopelessly so than ever before, the discussion was neglected for the cards, and over an interesting game of poker between the three 'twas charity to draw the sulphur vapors. And now another series of scenes appeared in quick succession. In one our honored president, Charlie Hun- sicker, was observed perched high upon a sugar barrel haranguing in favor of the Farmers' Alliance in his delight- fully rural vernacular, in another, Jonas was observed hard at work on a batch of yellow jack candy, in fact, he seemed to have quite a pull on it. Another revealed this strange advertisement under the personals in a city daily :- A, Students of high schools and colleges will be supplied with rolled ponnies on all current branches, at cheap rates, by addressing X Y Z, this office. A second scene discovered Kline, Brearley and Griffiths answering mail addressed to X Y Z. So they have made So it a paying business now, have they?,' I soliloquized. Still another scene found Gideon sitting on the trap-door of a house top, while an irate Mrs. Gi was shaking a broom at him from a lower window. Come down off that roof, she was shouting. No,I will notf' answered Gideon. I'll show you who's boss in this house. And so Gideon's love was destined to make of him a henpecked husband. I heaved a sigh of pity. But the instant the scene faded I caught faint sounds of singing, with a tambourine accom- paniment. The voices were singing, You won't go to heaven when you die, and I was not at all surprised to find Sid Earle at the head of the Salvation Army, which next hove in sight. A second scene revealed Sid as a twentieth century Gough, breathing prohibition through the very pores of his skin, and laboring hard to rescue the new Duke of Gloucester, Nicholson, Schaeffer, Schock and Stoker from the error of their ways. It was pleasing to watch Walt Haig pulling teeth in the succeeding picture and to note the line of pretty girls waiting to have their teeth pulled by Dr. Haig, because he talks so nice. Still another scene found our treasurer, Dicky Moyer, fled-not to Canada-but to- Chicago. The scene represented a happy home, in which several sweet little lVIoyers, with yellow curls, made sunshine all the day. This scene of domestic happiness contrasted strangely with the one of misery which followed, and which depicted Dick pleading in a divorce court for wifey to take him back, and at the same time protesting his innocence. But she would have none of it. The long black hair she had found upon Dick's waistcoat, and the strange bits of feminine apparel he had brought home with him after that night, were evidence enough. Poor Dick, the French dancers had been too much for him ! SI i Several scenes in which the future of those whom they concerned seemed to be compressed into one principal per- ception, now became visible, and the recorder was kept busy writing up futures for The Nusbaum Brothers' Clothing Co. with a brand of goods which moth or rust could not corrupt, Lummis Brothers, Wholesale Peanuts, John Gubbings, Basso Profundo in the Italian Opera, and VValter Wilkins Stoker, Manager, The Powers 81 VVeightman Co., Fruits and Chemicals. And then a melancholy scene came up before me. It pictured a young man with a shaggy head of hair bending over a table. A lean, bony hand scratched and scratched across many reams of paper while a large chunk of ice, tied up in a sheet, he balanced on his head. I-Ie was a poet'I could easily guess. But who could it be? Alas! alas! he was so changed I hardly knew him. But when in the midst of all his labors I observed that he had dropped peacefully off. to sleep, then I knew him. .His funeral later confirmed my belief-like Chatterton of old he gave up the ghost because he had to. William Henry Gatzmer Bradner, wrote the recorder. Bad poetry, mut- tered the stooping forms, and the imprecations were loud and prolonged. Scenes there were, too, where I looked over the critical reviews of Calder, these at direct variance with all others, and where I-Iarshaw, an aspiring literary genius with an insatiate desire to slaughter Browning, stood foremost among the Anglomaniacs of the day. In another scene Fred Newbourg was discoursing eloquently before a court of assembled dig- nitaries, and in still another Greenfield appeared as one of the pillars of the church. Then there was a scene wherein Bill Bray, by his persuasive eloquence was winning many souls back to the bosoms of their families, then Birnie had, 82 in another picture, started a school of philosophy of his own, and was teaching his doctrines to four scholars and a room full of empty benches. Arthur Bray,I also discovered as having fallen from virtue and the teachings of his youth and officiating in the capacity of usher at one of our leading theatres. I found, too, that Norman Roberts had published a book on Crime in the Public High School, or, a Plea for Honest Exarninationsf' A scene in the National halls of legislation revealed both Laurie Miller and Galbraith on their feet, shouting for recognition from the Speaker of the Senate. Augustus Korndoerfer, Homoeopathistf' also caught my eye as the scenes were rapidly passing. Samuel Camp- bell, Publisher by appointment of the C. H. S. Museum Catalogue in gold and black shone brilliant for a moment as a sign-board swinging before an entrance way, and then there was thrown upon the vapors the front page of a news- paper. Tfie Drab Howleff was its name. Messrs. Stearly -Sz Ferguson were its publishers. Ferguson,.it appears, after his unsuccessful though laudable attempt to convert High School professors into men of evil-looking rnien, took to writing caustic articles on the style of The Briggs Turkey effusion and finally co-laborated with Stearly, who had turned out equally as successful in another line. I The front page of The Howlelf contained a sensa- tional story, accompanied by flaming headlines, tellin-g of a Mr. Dillon's untiring efforts in the cause of Ireland's freedom, and how they were about to be crowned with success. I waited anxiously for the scene -to change. It finally did so, and this is what I saw: Poor Bob, defeated and back in America. Worse, he was running for school director down in the Fifth Ward. The scene represented him returning home late from a club meeting, where he had 83 doubtless been treating the boys. I thought of the lines we- had on him while at the Central High School, and I. hummed them as the scene slowly faded from view :- ' 'Tis said that Bob Dillon is fond of his jug, at night, at night, And from it drinks-cider, mug after mug, at night, at night. He then preaches temperance and tariff reform, Comes home late at night feeling sad and forlorn. So tired, so wearied, so sad and forlorn, at night, at night. But, oh what a difference in the morning, YVhat an alteration at the dawning, He wends his school, And as a general rule, I-Ie sleeps it off in Stuart's in the morningf' But the cauldrons seemed to smoke no longer. The flame had died away in the mysterious concoctions. Were the orgies over? I turned and sought my companion, but he had disappeared. I heard a cock crow somewhere. There was a scurrying of dry bones and skeletons' for the closets. The old foggies seemed to shrivel up into dried mummies. A nameless horror seemed to creep upon me. I made an effort to reach the door, but I felt a cold clammy hand laid upon my own. Lean, bony fingers closed around my throat, and I breathed with difficulty. I tried to cry out, and then, I heard a voice say :- Now, Will dear, if you are ready, I am I I awoke with the usual start. Jennie was standing before me, ready for the opera. Were you dreaming? she asked. You look so- bewildered, I believe you were. But come now, let's be off but We will be in plenty of time for the second. Come on. 34 there's a good boy. We've missed the first act, I suppose, Well, I Wentg but I couldn't help thinking all the Way 'that I had sold myself pretty badly that time. If you think you are asleep just try a pinch. I laughed. Quite a good joke, wasn't it? And I had ndreamed it all in one of Jennie's minutes. 1 I 55 iliinntgfthrne nn the Eirihnnm Shades of Cicero and Demosthenes, how many gems the platform in the Central High School hath borne! Ninety-three's bosom swells. with pride when she thinks of the part she had in the howl. And there were many among us that did speak with much learning. Long, in his oration on Recollections of Childhood, told us how becoming he used to look in bibs and T and safety-pins. Straube couldn't see any educational value in it. Bonnaffon startled the natives several times, and gave Harry Lamborn commencement chills when he spouted on The Character of Savonarolaf' ' Dillon was always at his best on stump speeches in the yard. He frightened the C0 E people once with Truthful james, but he hasn't done anything since. Earle tried to convince us at one time he could write a funny essay, he never did' well outside of prayer meeting. Lamborn gave us an awful dose of ':ML!fll77Z in Pmfwf' Newbourg had a conscious manner about him, but this wore off after a while. Ukers used to be a man of commencement promise, but when he got in with Schock, Schaffer and Stoker we gave him up for lost. Winsmore was wont to give pleasing imitations of his little brother reciting the Goblinsf' in years gone by. From the other section of the class, Arthur Bray used to freight us in the E with melancholy stories about as Christmas. But VVillie B. laid his schemes deeply, and the memory of Lord Clive will be with us always. Dieck tried tragedy first, but not Ending it renumerative, comedy became his hobby. The Faculty choose him because he suc- ceeded in making Stuart smile! Bill jones Won fame with The Welsh Classic, but, unfortunately, he took to Writing his own declarnations. Moyer tried preaching in his oration. Matos wrestled with the insanity of Hamlet until he threw him QI-Iamletj. Q . We forgot to mention Harshaw. VVe don't know what his oration was about, some say it was entitled Familiar Quotations? u S7 7THE CLASS' Z When Willie B. made that alarming statement about The Classicals on Commencement Day, he gave us a picture somewhat overdrawn. You may remember, he said, We have ascended the Alps with Cmsar, we have stood in the forum with Cicero, and we have crossed the Euphrates with Xenophonf' , The Sophomore year found a curious conglorneration of men gathered in the Classical Course. Those were the days We declined our Greek and Latin nouns to get tens. The hours spent with Berger were indeed happy times. We never Worked., ,Three exercises on an average were regularly pre- pared at home, and the remainder were absorbed during Berger's-hour. Berry Davis, the West Philadelphia Albino, was with us then, andnit used to be a favorite amusement of his to sketch Sammy's face on the blackboard. De Comneni, the proud possessor of fifteen different names, also S8 afforded us innocent amusement by performing what really was a wonderful feat, z'. e., keeping one eye on Berger, the other on the open book, and invariably making a ten. Under Doc Holt we were regaled with shop-worn jokes from the doctor's exhaustless fund, and even allowed to play with the skulls and cross bones. Greenfield used to drag Tacony sewers for foul-smelling vermin and insects, in the last stages of decomposition, to bring to school and exhibit for our amusement. Mearns was wont to indulge in ungodly proceedings during Doc's lectures, and one day we found him cracking walnuts with a leg bone, stolen from Doc's case. Under Holt, as under Berger, we went solely for amusement. 'Under Billy Green we were treated to a lighter form of amusement. We can recall many pleasant hours in his room. VVe shall never forget the day he told Burch not to pound so hard with his feet lest he should beat out his brains. That was the day that Bobby Dieck borrowed Washington Hutton- lock's three-foot screw driver to adjust his book rest. Cliff the ladies man and author of a prospective volume to be entitled, Two hundred and fifty Methods of Teaching Rhetoric and Composition, taught us how to pull English to pieces and devise clever plagiarisms thereon-all this from his fund of experience. Some of our imitations were real -clever. Kauffman's resembled Egyptian hieroglyphics. Calder used his bland smile to advantage with Cliff always handing in his work a week late, but smiling so broadly all the while that Cliff gave him his just deserts. Gussie Korn- doerfer fell onto the racket of typewriting his exercises, thereby saving Cliff much time and' trouble, and for which the latter has been known to hold conversations With Gussie, lasting often a whole hour. The class enjoyed the respite 89 every bit as much as Cliff In the lab. Arthur Bonnicastle Bray took the lead in things chemical. His accomplishments were many and various, but consisted principally in breaking test-tubes and spilling HNO3 over his best Sunday-go-tlo- meetin' suit. Here, also, Bradner displayed his ability as a poet-chemist, by causing foul odors to fill the building and making Chrissy and Houston think that the sewer gas was escaping. Gubbings seemed to consider Carter's hour the proper time to prepare his Caesar, and this he was Wont to do, while Brad made odors and Chew kept on talking. Among other memories of our stay we shall recall how hard Percy Long tried to convince Chrissy that he knew more about mental science than did the latter, and how Chrissy used to present him with large o's for his troubleg we shall never forget the Burkley w. Graham iistic exhibi- tions, in which Graham always bit the dustg nor shall we ever forget Godfrey, with his seven sisters' head of hair, ranting Hamlet for the edification of the natives. gb r if ,' ' 341 : 6' V gi Half ff! lag,-ti , , f A in f uf:-.: -LLL-7:3 - - ..

There seemed to be a natural coalition of the remarkable, only to be accounted for by the occult influence of Scotty's fiendish spirit. Early in our Career Scotty attached himself as Lord High Worshipful to Dillon, and, who was then, to borrow from Bonnaffon, the biggest prigi' in the class. To his one-time greatness the Regular Section will next fall cause this memorial tablet to be placed in the halls of the new building :- ' i ' - TO THE ONCE GREAT Robert Emmet Dillon. . In memory of His junior year. Too much Democracy Too much Bottle Too much Mental Science QI 5 There were grave fears entertained for some time lest Hunsicker might follow in Dillon's footsteps. This historical dissertation has to do mainly with blighted prospects. Another sad case was that of Sid Earle. Pud soon found that temperance lectures were not suited to the 'field of ministerial educationg like others before the public eye he found himself Hbesmeared with the tar of vice. Haig and Bardsley soon despaired of ever bringing him back to the fold where Walt Matos and Eddie Bonnaffon were waiting to direct him aright. The last none other than the Seersucker coat with Scottyf' he is the only member ofthe class who owns a Seersucker coat. It is said he came by it in a strange way. The story runs that while Secretary of the Wynewood Scrapping Club the members noticed he had no coat of his own, so they unanimously voted to appropriate 25 cents for the purchase of the article he now wears. The story of Scotty and his grip is a sad one, and we will refrain from further writing on the subject. He was a good-natured butt for our innocent fun- let that be said in his favor. The story of the class must deal with Mother Hubbard Stuart, who appeared to be conscious of two unpolished gems in the persons of the Brothers johnson, for whenever he found himself unable to locate a supine or gerundive, he invaribly called on these two lights to help him out. New- bourg was a very pleasing personage who afflicted us with stories of what he studied. If Freddie was not going to be a lawyer, we would be shocked at the awful consequences of such prevarications. ' You're no gentleman! Harshaw used to tell each member of the section when he found his grip stuffed with waste paper. Unable to locate the arch Hend who had been Q2 guilty of the crime, he would take revenge on the whole class as individuals. Now Hopson was a man we all thought a great deal oi more perhaps because he had the good taste to keep his mouth shut than for any other reason. Haig alone seemed to enjoy his full confidence, and we all envied Haig as a consequence, for every one respected Hopson. No one ever thought Larry Miller could get real mad until he had that scrap in Room 8. Charles Morgan, with his girlish winning ways, should never have been sent to the Central High School. Charley was well liked, but until the second rninistrel show came around we were unable to rightly locate him. Wheii once we saw him in skirts we knew we had hit it, for U Zlze dzkplczy gf silfzfed sfockifzgs was lZf2UZ7U! fbiizg fo see. Lamborn won our approbation by capturing that gold medal, but he can never have our love because we have heard that one of the Moyer family has Worn it ever since. Witli Cliff we had great sport. The hours spent with this gentleman were regarded as hours of recreation, though Walt Matos had more real fun than any of the rest of us. Walt used to get his brother Bill write his essays. Cliff' always thought Bill Matos' essays were pm' efrcellmce but when Walter turned in one of Bill's as his own, Cliff thought it couldn't have been more miserably written. 93 X ffarf --'Y -,si ft f T 1 A 1' +5 5 W 0 Q? - , gi To exec? i -ghd.

The Scientific Section made their formal debzil with Lacy. The section first attracted attention by playing a practical joke on Miller. One morning this gentleman unlocked his desk, only to find it occupied by a monstrous toad. And as usual nobody did it. - The Sophomore year brought us under the tuition of George Howard Clith A. M. We were given to Write a formal acceptance or regret to a dinner. Then we got our work in. Each member of the class mailed to Cliffs home an acceptance of his kind invitation to dinner on the following Monday evening. We timed our epistles so they 94 arrived late Saturday, knowing that Cliff would be in New York at the time, and that Mrs. C- would open his mail. The plot hatched out as planned, andupon Prof. Cliff's return from New York the following Monday, he found his spouse suffering from nervous prostration. Of course, the Professor soon fell onto the joke, and hastened to allay Mrs. C's fears. This riled Georgie, and he swore vengeance on the class. His vengeance consisted in writing Educational Club editor- ials for the Philadelphia papers during recitation hours. Dick Moyer was generally found at the bottom of all frolics, and when not plotting some new deviltry could be found telling rzlfgzfe stories to a crowd of admirers. Bill jones attained prominence in the Scientific Section which none but a man so gifted as was he could hope to reach. The section might have turned out better had it not been for Smitheman. Natural Gas and Eddie were sadly synony- mous, and his frequent rantings from Shakespeare never endeared him to his fellows. The Scientific Section also owned and controlled Pop Gorham, that dashing lady-killer of The M77'07' staff and Bill Matos, whose delightful 1'ej1mfz'ee5 with Snyder we shall not soon forget. The Class of '95 is indebted to the Scientific Section for many of its freaks, for Wang Moore still lives, john Brooke still visits Germantown in search of the fair she, and Sharer, like an ill weed, still grows.

We were under the especial care and guidance of Hfqf Hozzsiozz and Ben. Franklin Lacy. Hoastufz was supposed to teach us the theory and Lacy was supposed to give us the practice. He never taught us Physics-never even made a fair attempt at it. Lacy divided us into sections and gave each section a certain amount of Work to perform. . Fun began in Lacy's laboratory when he ordered us to provide ourselves vvith Avery's, and started in to teach us Physics. XVinsrnore,, Sharpley, Stearly, Ulcers and Wright occupied a row of chairs in the furthermost corner duringhis lectures, and very often it happened that there was little or no 96 attention paid in that quarter. This would rile Lacy con- siderably and he would proceed to jump upon those poor devils down in the corner with both feet. He counted it an unpardonable sin to be the least bit inattentive. - When we finally got down to work the fun still grew, and by reason of our being left pretty much alone we raised Cain for hours together. The third section ran the class, and were the most accomplished thieves it is possible to imagine. They appropriated to their own use anything they happened to take a fancy to belonging to the other sections, and very seldom did their own work. They were gentlemen of leisure, and oftentimes failed to put in their appearance at laboratory work at all. Vxfright generally did the Work for the crowd. This may seem unjust and unfair to Vlfright, but the section saw to it that W1'ight was handsomely remunerated for his services. This is the secret of Wright's home laboratory and its handsome appointments-they were all in Lacy's lab. ' once. It used to be great sport to open the dark-room closet and then send a committee out to pounce on unsuspecting Freshmen, carry them in bodily and imprison them in that darkest of Holiesf' During the winter snowball fights varied the monotony of laboratory work and when other things grew tiresome.

It 97 A was the Physical Section that Worried Christine and made Schock Wish he were anywhere but in the C. H. S. In Pop's room they originated their famous I-loly! In the cellar they led the gang which put out the lights and yelled defi- ance at Lacy through the closed doors. W1'ight furnished hasps and screws and one day, during a laboratory hour, Winsmore put them on the cellar doors, so that when Lacy seized the doors that day at recess he found them fast. In the meantime the gang escaped into the yard. 98 1 - hi I X Q5 iii ffCPfE mv' r T My f' 7 - 7 's!5!alP2Fl3'S X Ar If 'ff f Z-'I .,-i . i-.QQ 4 x I r rf - f 2 -f ,W : ,,..,4 1 . 7 4 X 4 ff f ' ili4 f l f 7 TN - f 1 1' j .fgx3V,l.'5MZg1ym?gQyixs V! ji if ' 2' a XM ' :,g5:l?5TE2 M A7 Y MX i ii 1- ml ir, ...uf f xsffff i Cf f g i' - W ,'- gl ,.

Of course, Frank Rose never did very much to bestir things, but think of that celebrated trio, Stoker, Shock and Schaffer, known far and Wide, were they not in the Chemical Section P Bush james waslwith us, too, and as a prime mover in the -city's four hundred, he favored his section with glowing descriptions of what we did at L-Qs last night, and about the big feed we had at GZ's, etc. Christine had a Warm spot in his heart for Bush, and anything less than an eight was something unusual for him in Mental Science. 99 Bush was noted for his veracity Qin Room 3 onlyj and so when Chrissy would start to tell a tale he imagined he told before, he would stop and say, Now let me know if I ever told you this before. No I would come in thunder tones from the class. And then Chrissy, to make sure, would turn to James and say, james, did Iever tell you this before? James would dutifully answer No, sir, though often times he had to be awaked from a snooze to get it out of him. Grifhths, the other member of the Chemical Section, was a truly base football player who, at one time, gave promise of becoming a great chemist. He discovered several new tests during his sojourn in the lab., and, aided by Schock and Stoker, concocted some of the most foul-smelling odors ever dreamed of in Carter's philosophy. Hydrogen sulphide was put up in small bottles by these three for use during the French hour, and to make life miserable for poor dyspetic Cliff Carter took the crowd to the Academy of Natural Sciences on one occasion, and the trip is not likely to be soon forgotten. Stoker wore a black skull cap, the property of dear little junior, and which, aided by the others in the section, he had captured one morning at recess. The Chemical Section will ever look back upon their stay with Carter with pleasure, and inwoven with this pleasure will be memories sweet and bitter of Carter's baseball stories and never-to-be-forgotten geological trips. OO v THE. BANJO CLUB iiinetg-three nail tim Cf?-anim Gliluh. A DISSERTATION. Long will the thirteenth day of November, ISQI, be remembered as a red-letter day in the annals of crime. It was on this memorable date that Charles Galloway and Ed. Weiner, armed with hammer and tacks, approached the ' bulletin-board inthe hallway of the Central High School, 'in broad daylight, deliberately and in cold blood, put up a notice to the effect that, having practiced together, they wintended to organize a banjo club !' . The horror+stricken spectators stood rooted to the spot, .and before they fully realized that the daring deed had been consummated, Galloway and Weiner pushed their way 'through the crowd and disappeared. A posse of armed students was immediately organized and started in pursuit, but, although they cut three hours in order to continue the search, but one trace of the fugitives could be found. This -was in the lunch-room Qor more properly the ccgfej, at the pie counter, where the rim of a mince pie and two bone buttons .announced the fact that the pursued had fortified their stomachs for a long absence, and, if found, could only be taken after a -desperate encounter. . 4 . But, gentle reader, let us go back to the crowd of spec- tators who surrounded the bulletin-board, and peer into every face. Two there were that wore an expression of fiendish glee. These were H. R. Carey and Wilbur Morse. And each had secretly, in the blackest depths of his own heart, resolved to join the Banjo Club. An epidemic of crime had broken out in the High School, and Samuel R Davis and Charles A. Huston soon forsook the happy Christian lives. they had been leading, resigned from active positions in the church and Sunday-school, and resolved to tread the broad and easy path with the Banjo Club. I H. R. Carey, being the arch villain of the company, was elected the leader of the Club, and he immediately began to make preparations for a descent on the school, on the day of the Christmas entertainment, 1891. Arrangements were first made with Mr. Gray, whereby the Club might not only retreat to his laboratory in case they were too closely pressed by the enraged audience, but also, might practice within its sacred walls, provided, they were careful not to produce enough discord to split the ears of corn provided for the instruction of the pedagogues. It is said, by those who are on the inside track,and who- ought to know, that the Banjo Club broke enough strings while practici-ng for that Christmas entertainment to furnish a lyre big enough to out-wit a certain well-known angler- 7Z0f zz jishewrzzzfz-at his own game. However this may be, certain it is, that so much catgut was used that the sight of a feline in the neighborhood became extremely rare, and several players were obliged to use shoestrings upon their instruments. VVhen the members of the Banjo Club at length faced their first audience, their nerves were strung at a much, 102 higher pitch than their banjo strings, and the poorest player there was able to perform a perfect Z'7'6'l1ZOZ0. Nevertheless, the dabzzl was an auspicious triumph, and the Club soon became well known about town as one of the finest. Charles Morgan, D. Bushrod james and A. L. Wana- maker were so affected by the Darkies' Patrol, as played by Club, that they also drifted away nom civilization and became converts to the muse. About this time Ed. XfVeiner resigned, and, after playing at some thirty-three concerts the Banjo Club swore a solemn oath, one member unto another, that they should not during the summer tickle their banjos to make them laugh forth the music which charms the soul. In October, 1892, the Banjo Bandits fas some one has dubbed themj reorganized, and H. R Carey, W. H. Conroy, S. R. Davis, Jos. Huston, Bushrod james, lfVilbur Morse and Ed. Vtfells responded to the roll-call. It was during the season of '92-'93 that the Club developed the remarkable, but dangerous, habit of drinking Mr. Lacy's,acids, as well as eating his favorite beakers, test- tubes and evaporating dishes. Davis, Morse and Carey were said to be able to drink more sulphuric or nitric acid at a sitting than even Mr. Lacy himself The Club also made a practice of mislaying Mr. Lacy's desk, chairs, tables and numerous other small articles, which, to one possessed of his habits of neatness and order, was a great annoyance. All these, and numerous other escapades, it causes pain to record. - In 1893, A. L. Wanamaker and Bushrod james resigned, Elwood Hubbs joined the Club, and S. R. Davis was elected manager. It would be almost impossible to tell of the real huge times the Club has had on the numerous excursions it has made to suburban towns and hamlets all over the State. 103 Impossible would it be to picture the wonder and admiration of the natives wherever the Club has disturbed the Quaker quiet by the dulcet Nplunkity plunk of its instruments of torture. The members are all very modest, but outsiders say, that the Club which was organized in such a desperate manner is an honor to the school, and the Class of Ninety- three scores one more point in numbering three of its mem- bers among those of the Central High School Banjo Club. 4 'lil Illlllll ll 1 r, 1 ri ll l ,QQ I Nl A wk mvxlilill W, ll ill lilliiliiaiiiiii lp l l Ill W u H iii, Il l W J Ill llll 1'fiil 1'g l l 'T ' f rl l lliffjl 4-,f A- 'Jil ig - as if it -fi ,ff 1 1 f e X, --.

Gus Sickles, as a verdant freshman, fell easily into the professor's clutches, and he was rzjipozkzled to play first violin. About this time Fatty Wagner was instilling some independence poison into the minds of the members, and in this laudable crime he was ably seconded by Harry Alcock. Nothing of any moment was developed that year, however, and so, when the following November rolled around, Prof Houston again organized the Central High School Orchestra, and once more appointed the . ,OS leader. It was very kind of Prof Houston each year to- organize the orchestra just before the Christmas entertainment' and to disband it directly after. All this was very considerate- of him. Then, too, the independent spirit fostered by Wag- ner and Alcock was beginning to show itself and so when Prof Houston capped the climax by appointing Shorty McDonough leader, it was too much for Gussie, and he- openly kicked. In this he was ably seconded by Davy XfVallace, who had also been inveigled into the organization. Gussie wisely determined to bide his time until the oppor- tunity offered itself to make a complete sweep of all existing forms. The following year the opportunity offered, and, quick to seize it, the members of the orchestra declared their independence, weeded out some of the would-be musicians, reorganized, and, in gratitude to Gussie for his endeavors in their behalf immediately elected him their leader. Then its was that the Central High School Orchestra really began its career, and since that time, under the leadership of Gus Sickles, it has developed into an organization of which the- school can feel justly proud. ' The orchestra owes to Gus Sickles the growing music library it possesses, in addition to the very excellent musical reputation it has enjoyed during the last two years. It has been his constant endeavor to bring the orchestra upon a higher plane, and to make it an organization representative- of the school. Hall Sharpley, Percy Pippitt, VVilliam Mearns and Percy' Moore were also members from the class, so that, in addition to our having organized and fostered the orchestra and the orchestral association, '93 can also lay claim to have had' some hard-working 4' privates in that struggle for inde-4 pendence. V we The orchestra has met with universal approbation. It has played everywhere with great success and has won encomiums from many musical critics. Its work has ever been marked by that earnestness and skill which is charac- teristic of its leader. It has played at all the Alumni recep- tions, at commencements for various schools and colleges, at churches and entertainments all over the State and city, and in every case its services have been gratuitious, incidental expenses alone being charged. Of its members collectively, it may be stated that they were all a glorious conglomeration of musical freaks until Siclcles took hold. He at once pro- ceeded to dispense with all those whose hair was less than five inches long, so that the organization, as a whole, is now more than ever purely musical.. Undoubtedly the greatest of these is lfVang Moore. This promising Paderweski is the gentleman pianist whose classic 7'ZpL'7'f0f7'L' consists of a selection from iPVZz7zg and The VVashington Post March. Sickles is very proud of him and delights to show him to visitors. Next year the orchestra will be under the leadership of David Dubenski, Mr. Sickles having resigned during the last month of the term just closed. Asa token of their appreci- ation of his work in the cause of classic music in the High School, the members of the association presented him with a gold-mounted leader's baton, suitably engraved. 107 I X fri- , f Q i7 4 GN I ' -'7 v.a. lfi A if ' M ' - V - - aw.

Credit, did We say? If the class deserves credit for the bringing together of a miscellaneous assortment of cracked warming-pan voices in a diabolic symphony of Wagiierian discord, score one against the Recording Angel. About the early part of last December, mainly through the efforts of Professor Miller and VVillie Bradner, there assembled in the chapel for rehearsal a crowd of forlorn- looking humanity, Which, for Want of a better name, We are forced to call them the Glee. t We listened to them rehearsing during the Christmas entertainment. just why Prof Miller so far forgot the rules IOS of common politeness as to let the Glee Club rehearse on that platform during the Christmas exercises we are unable to state. Some one suggested that perhaps they were a part of the programme, but that was at once branded as absurd. The Double Quartette was the outcome. This organi- zation, after doing the High School, proceeded to do every other place it could within the radius of a hundred miles, and to its credit be it added, They did- it! Eddie Wells, singing dulcet soprano, Eddie Smithe- man, base viol-ent, and Eddie 'Arshaw, piano-pounder, in addition to Craig johnson and basso digusto profundo were from the class, and ably held up our end in the dismal howl. The Quartette rendered very efficient aid, and were certainly at their best in the chorus of Aunt Dinahis Quilting Party,', where they were more or less hidden from view, and almost out of hearing as well. So pleased were the audience on this occasion that many people were heard to remark that they thought the Quartette L' out of sight. Scotty tells a story of a certain night they sang in an uptown church. It appears that when the Quartette came upon the stage there were only three people invthe house. The Quartette sang The Coopers' Chorus,', nom Robin Hood. At the end of the first stanza the ticket-taker obtained a check from himself and Went out to see a man. At the end of the chorus the old man moved Wearily up the aisle' with a puzzled evidence of that tired feeling upon his kindly face. The little boy had fallen asleep, but when the singers began the second stanza, he Woke up and too wandered vaguely after his charge. mg area-4':'rH 'T?

Some of'the pleasantest recollections of our stay in the 'Central High School are those which cluster around the 'three performances of Aunt Din:-1h's Quilting Party by the Players' Club, during March of the Senior year. X Learning that the school piano had never been paid for and that President johnson had been paying rent for it for 'over a year, The Central High School Association, with praiseworthy magnanimity, took the matter in hand, and ap- pointed a committee to see what could be done about it. Davy VVallace, a quondarn '93, and Bill Ulcers submitted to this committee a proposition to give a unique form of enter- tainment for the benefit of the piano fund if the school could be relied upon to sell the tickets. The committee reported this, proposition and the Association at once accepted it. After nearly two' months of hard labor, during which time Ulcers, and Wallace completed the entertainment, submitted it to the Association for approval, organized the Players' Club for its production and carefully rehearsed it. The first production of Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party was given at Mercantile Hall on the evening of March gd. The occasion was one not soon to be forgotten. It marked the first attempt at original play writing in the High School and the first production of an entertainment of its kind by the students. The hall was packed to the doorsf' to use a stereoptyped phrase, with an audience as intelligent as it was enthusiastic. The curtain rose about 8.15 upon one of the prettiest scenes that could have been chosen-a quilt- ing party. A large patchwork quilt on a frame occupied the middle of a roomy, old-fashioned kitchen in a country farm-house, supposed to be situated in a fanciful Tailholt, Pa. Around it were gathered pretty lassies, all busily engaged in quilting, while numerous of Tailholt's sentimental youth watched the dainty fingers and, growing bolder, offered to do the threading for them. Knots of color' set off the spotless white of the short-sleeved, country-fashioned dresses, while the quilt itself was a glorious representation in orange and red of the sun rising in all his glory. The dialogue and the lyrics had been written by Mr. Ukers, and the music for the majority of the solo and chorus numbers had been contributed by Mr. Wallace. The story' was simply told. It introduced the hearer to a quilting party in progressat the old homestead, during which Uncle josh Perkins enters with the information that Reuben, the only son in the Perkins family, and who had been Hschoolin' H for the past three years at the Philadelphia High School, was coming home that very night on a visit. The result of this startling bit of news can easily be imagined. Confusion at once reigns, while Aunt Dinah vainly endeavors to issue Ill orders and do everything herself at the same time. Finally, however, order is brought out of the chaos, all Reub's friends in the village are invited, including his one true sweetheart, the cider is brought up and everything is pronounced in readiness for his arrival. lfVe can see the eager craning of necks as the company from the doorway watch him alight and come leisurely up the country lane. Speculation runs riot as to who the dashing stranger- with him will turn out to be, The orchestra plays High School Boys, Hrst low, then gradually increasing in volume as the two draw nearer, then we hear the faithful watch-dog barking as he bounds forward to tear them limb from limb, then the pistol report which so quickly silences him, and at last-Reub himself Hushed and happy, fresh from the charms of city life. After greetings and introductions there follows a little love scene for Reub and Dot, and then the evening's fun begins. Toasts are drank, songs are sung, stories told and pieces recited, Reub's royal welcome home ends when the merry-makers take their leave, and even then in the dis- tance we can hear them singing the Quilting Party. Again the curtain rises and there as a tableau, with Nellie, the school mistress, on his arm and Baby Bunting by his side, stands Squire Jenkins looking so tenderly at the little woman whom he has loved in the side romance of the play that we do not think it strange the moonlight streams over them. The Quilting Party was in such a pastoral idyl, one of the sweetest and quaintest play entertainments it is pos- sible to imagine, Its instant success prompted its repetition on March 23d for the piano fund and on the 24th for the company. By far the most finished production was that of the 24th, For this occasion a prologue was written, and was very II2 properly given to Miss Nellie to deliver. Mr. Wallace also gave a piano recital previous to the rising of the curtain at this performance. The lyrics were all very pleasing, and the music set to them by Mr. Wallace were very tuneful. In the dialogue a peculiarly happy chord was struck by weaving in numerous pet expressions of certain of the Faculty, and which were in the main responsible for the success of the play. ' Aside from the young ladies who so kindly assisted in this production, its success is mainly due to Ninety-three. Bert Winsmore, Bill Jones, Bill Ukers and Bob Dieck, all from the class, created respectively the ffofes of Reuben Perkins, Squire Jenkins, Uncle josh and Michael Farraday. The greatest fun, however, was not at the production itself so much at it was at the rehearsals. How many hearts were broken there 'twould indeed be hard to tell. Pleasant times they were and long to be remembered. We wonder if the members will ever forget' the banquet as it was termed, which was held on the second floor of the school building one stormy night after the first show was over. Will we ever forget Dieck's speeches or Martin's witty repartee P And Winsmore's awful Delsarte method of expressing Death ! And Perry Fenton's love-making, with Bill Jones as a for- midable rival ! And then the joke about Mr. and Mrs. Frohman and the bad way in which Rocks found himself because Mr, Dalyl' wouldn't let him warble? And so on, while now and then one could hear them singing softly :- On my arm her soft hand rested Rested light as ocean's foam, And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's Quilting1Party I was seeing Nellie home. II3 'Elm itligh Xnhunl Assuriatinnl FTER the Columbus Day frolic, a short account of which will be found else- where in this RECORD, the advisability and the A need of some permanent organi- zation among the students became more apparent than ' ever. To Bill Jones is due the credit of having been most keenly alive to this crying need, and of having devised a plan to properly meet the exigency. He it was, who, as President ofthe Senior Class, issued a call for a meeting of all the presidents of the various classes in the chapel one day early in November, 1892. The outcome of this meeting was the organization of The High School Association, an association whose duty it is to represent the school on any and all occasions, and to act for, or as, the students if needs be. There was also embodied in its objects the equipment and organization of the students 1 . l . V-v Y . 114 for orderly parading in the interests of the proposed new building. To this organization is due in great part the 'successful agitation of the movement which Hnally resulted in our obtaining our long-sought-for new school. The High School Association it was that started the movement to have the two Manual Training Schools unite with us in a grand demonstration to signalize the declaration of everlasting good-will and Iiiendship between the three schools, and incidentally to apprise the city of our need ofa new buildingg The High School Association it was that organized the school and fully equipped the students for that demonstration. The success of the parade and of the movement to interest and inflame the newspapers in our cause reflects largely upon The High School Association and its officers. And their task. was no easy one, either. Probably some three or four in the Faculty were arranged on the side ofthe boys, while the remainder were bitterly opposed to the whole scheme. Nevertheless, with all the adverse criticism and dire prophecies of failure confronting them, the Central High School Association went in and won, and in winning scored one for Ninety-three, whose president organized and success- fully launched the Association. Another instance where praise is due the Association is the laudable effort it made to raise the debt on the school piano by the three perform- ances Of Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party. 'Verily it is an organization deserving of a permanent one in the school. Wwe Za Ceninzl Hzlgh School Ass0cz'zzz'z'01z !

There were several 'fini Q attempts at organization held in i Q Hades, or, as it is more collo- quially known, the coal-cellar re- ,' treat5 but nothing definite was ac- . complished until the night of the '-ii A inter-scholastic parade on November 26th,. when in a baptism of fire the ' plan of organization Hrst took unto itself a shape. Holding high carnival on a Float representing a scene in the shades of Erebus, seven grotesque devils made merry at the head ofthe High School contingent. One of Stokerls fruit wagons had been utilized for the occasion, and Walt's brother Wess had been secured to drive the fiery, Untamed steeds. Gus Sickles, Nicholson, Schock, Schaeffer and numerous others composed the com- pany, and the Hoat attracted no little attention from the on- lookers. And we fear the gray dawn of a Sabbath morning saw not a few of that glorious C07lZAD!Zg'lZZ'6 still hornewarcl X16 bound after that night of nights. At the reorganization meeting in Germantown held soon after, Fred Nicholson was elected president and Melville F. Ferguson, secretary. Fol- lowing the secret session came an enjoyable banquet, at which speeches were made, toasts were drank and the merry glasses rang. Old Nick made an elaborate address, punctuated by many deferential pauses, the subject of his discourse being Gloucester and the Track. Stories were told by numer- ous others, andtoasts proposed, chief among which was Le Diable's To my sister. It is almost superfluous to state in this connection that Frankenstein's sister turned out to be some one else's. V The warning clang of the town clock's midnight bell witnessed the Merry Mephistoes joined hand in hand in mystic circle round about the banquet board, lifting up their voices in this closing chorus :- Ho, seven merry devils we, 1321-YS.-I'3.-1'3.'I'3--b0Ol1'1 'Round sulphurous tires we dance with glee, Da-ra-ra-ra-ra-boom !

If you have not arrived at this conclusion, we can assure you that such zk the fact, and iitf after reading this somewhat brief dissertation on what has proven one of the brightest flowers of Bill's intellect you are not of the same opinion, you must, with Scotty and several others, have been victims of his sprightly wit. Ever since the Freshman year, Bill has ever been most keenly alive to the best interests of his class and the school. Each day some new scheme was being hatched out in that diplomatic brain of his. And so when he came to Newbourg during the last month of the Sophomore year with the proposition to make their names immortal by founding a 118 literary society which should eventually outshine that in which Frank R. Stockton had once stood within the halls of the old High School, Fred was not at all surprised, for he, like the rest of the class, was ever prepared for the announce- ment that Bill's genius had given birth to anew child. And so it was that during the summer months these two arch- villains put their heads together, with the result that when fall arrived they had a beautifully cut-and-dried scheme ready to H spring on 'l the unsuspecting class. Professor Clin' was laid under contribution for advice, and Professors Smyth and Berger for a name. At Professor Cliff's suggestion, a selected few from both sections of the Junior class met and talked the matter over, and at the conclusion decided to accept the plan of organization proposed by Ukers and Newbourg. Upon the announcement being made public that there had been formed anew literary association, to membership in which students of the Class of '93 were eligible, there flocked to the organization meeting on November 6, 1891, some fifty-two members. Here it was, with that earnestness and expedition so characteristic of ,Q3, that the name Phi Epsilon, being the first letters of the principal Words in the motto PlLz701mzz'km Kaz' .EZlEpZ'd,'l was chosen, the constitution was adopted, organization finally effected and the full complement of officers chosen, Bill Ukers being unanimously hoisted into the president's chair and Fred Newbourg being likewise unanimously elected to the secretaryship. The story of the Phi Epsilon, its hopes and its fears, during the Junior year, would Hll many volumes, and yet it would prove an interesting and, at times, an exciting romance. It would entail a history of the rise and fall of party power, of political wire-pulling, of hotly-contested elections, and of stuffed ballot-boxes galore. 119 ' But the society soon became a wonderful power in the class. It numbered upon its roll some seventy members, and its influence became potent throughout the school. As a result were formed the Phi Beta in the junior and the Phi Delta in the Sophomore classes, while numerous other literary and debating societies were born, lived their com- plement of days and died. But through all its trials and tribulations, and they were not a few, the Phi Epsilon kept bravely on until its founders rested on their laurels and saw the consummation of their labors. Never in the history of the High School has there existed a society which wielded a wider influence for good and exercised a better pzfesfzgfe among the scholarly. Will those jolly good times in Gifford's Hall, with the ten minutes' recess and the unholy raids made upon the grocer's private storeroom, ever be forgotten? Will we- ever forget Bob Dillon's eloquent appeals on questions of political moment? Will the memory of Sid Earle and his masterly arguments, or of Bill jones and his classic VVelsh, or of f' Casey, or of Good-bye Bill, ever fade? And then, too, theway the society settled, offhand, questions agitating the country at large, and over which men in the halls of legislation fought and wrangled! How we handed down our official opinions, from which there was no appeal! And so we met and enjoyed ourselves in that dignified, respectable way of which Ninety-three is so justly proud. january brought Bill Uker a re-election to the presidency, and then began the second era of the society's existence. It was every bit as brilliant as the first. February was made memorable by a inaugural programme of pronounced merit, at which Professor Cliff read from Dr. Sevier, supplementing his remarks with some good fatherly counsel. just here it would not, perhaps, be out of place to acknowledge the debt of gratitude 'which the society owes Professor Cliff He, from the first, encouraged the scheme, and even made it a point to speak of it before each section, He aided us in many ways. The society has been benefited both by his experience and practical assistance, and were it not a fact that his later treatment ofthe class as a whole and a few of its representatives in particular was most shabby, we would, perhaps, instead of giving the devil his due, be acknowledging our indebtedness with a better grace. To proceed, however, with the second era of the society's mortal career. The chairmanship of the Social Committee fell into the hands of Harry Lamborn, and at once the programmes gave evidence ofa change for the better. The attendance became larger than ever, and many were the elocutionists and future great men developed during this period. About this time it was that Dieck burst upon the School and society with The Pilot's Storyf' while Fred Newbourg gave successful imitations of-Professor Smyth as a reader of Dickens. Sid Earle also made his dc56z2z' as an original essayist on subjects supposedly melancholy, but which turned out to be sorto' funny, the Bray Brothers made quite an enjoyable racket, Bill Ukers gave us allopathici doses of pathos and comedy, Bonnaffon arose in his might and brought down-the proverbial house as an orator of unusual ability, Robbins began to shine as a declaimer of the classic grand, second only to Belknap, with a sheet and candle, as Catoj Harshaw made his first appearance in the very modest V612 of Pozcficz in The Merchant of Venice, on which occasion Schock and Griffiths presented him with a posey on behalf of the gods who occupied the back row of benches 5 Ferguson Wrote VZLYQZIE essays on The American Eagle and kindred topics, the which were received with evident enjoyment by Schock and Schaffer, Bob VVinsmore told the story of the Goblins with refreshing 7ZCZi'ZlL Z'f,' Dillon' espoused the Irish cause with vfiery eloquence, and even Lorry Miller distinguished himself with Depew's after-dinner speeches. On the afternoon of April the 22d was held, under the auspices of the society, an open meeting. This was the last great event held previous to the evening meeting at Bank Hall, on May 20th. This latter will never be forgotten. It was a success from start to finish. A programme of some twenty numbers had been prepared, and the officers of the society graced the platform with their august presence. Ozzy Lezgflef, the official organ of the Association, upon this occa- sion issued a special eight-page edition, which was gratui- tously distributed at the close. The evening meeting proved to be a fitting ending, for when, at the beginning of the- Senior year, Bill Jones was elected to the presidency, he found himself powerless to stem the progress of decay which hadl already set in. The interest iiagged, the meetings became' fewer and fewer, until at last the society was found to be- mortal after all, and so passed quietly away. And so while there is naught to record of the society in the Senior year it is pleasurable to look back upon the Junior year and point with pardonable pride to the most successful literary association ever organized in the Central High School, and to claim for Ninety-three the honor of its- birth and brilliant career. . y THE MIRROR STAFF 1 . ,J -s Nfl Qif,s...., , 5-fifqw. if i i li it 'lx ii, f ' Q ky W f ii i X- A ll V l DER r 'hu il ' NGQW - A l 'SEE ffl -L ' 'f 1 ,, i 'X 4 ' . ri i l,f923f. f ,f 'fW'i KJ i me W ai ei Ki V i I' X fix 4 'll' ra tum rrmtq K1 3. fm 'lallEl1'lll3Fi01li ll? ill l 'Zi ' NATURE. .N , I ' 7 A KNEW X f Q Q O school or college of repute has ever been Z I without a representative journal issued V by the students, and 'whose duty it was f to carefully review matters localiand athletic, in addition to possessing at the ,Q 3T same time the character of a magazine. ' journalisma in the High School dates ' back some thirty years, and to-day no E li-n institution throughout our broad land U 1 i publishes a paper more welcome at the exchange table, than The IMW07'. V When The .ZW2.7'7'07' came into the hands of William H. Ulcers and those associated with him in authority there was a Cyclonic revival of journalistic learning' in the High School, the like of which had not been seen since the days of Chester Farr. Mr. Ulcers had been unanimously elected editor-in-chiei and that meant something. It meant the class had confidence in his ability, and it was not to be disappointed. 123 The Mere? under ,Q2 was a blot upon the fair fame given it by its predecessors and an everlasting discredit to the school. If the tide in 1W27'f'0r affairs ever reached its lowest ebb, that ebb was reached under ,Q2. A more incompetent board of editors could not have been chosen to look after its literary and business interests. 'The paper had been steadily deteriorating for several years back, but it remained for Morris Clayton and A. L. Wanamaker to precipitate its final ruination. An advertisement bespattered front, filled with a kind of literary trash, love-sick nonsense and editorial hash, published semi-occasionally, financially a wreck and left stranded by its loyal management-behold the representa- tive JWZWUV of ,Q2 I I From all this chaos the editorial management of ,Q3 have brought The M7'7'07 of to-day and made it a true refiec- tor of the school and our ,Alma Maier. The result was obtained only by hard Work, much selisacrihce and a lavish, yet judicious, expenditure of time and money. Each depart- ment is deserving of unstinted praise, for it was these separate excellencies that produced the harmonious and representative whole. Upon the election of Mr. Ukers many questioned his ability to redeem the paper from the slough into which it had fallen. During the year previous to his election, Prof George Howard Clifif A. M., now president of the New Girls' Normal School, had on several occasions praised Mr. Ukers and his composition Work in a very fiattering manner. After the first issue of The Jlliffffoif Mr. Cliftms attitude sud- denly changed, so much so that every bit of composition work Mr. Ukers handed in met with severe criticism at the hands of this extremely just.and kindly disposed gentle- man, The explanation lay in the refusal of Mr. Ukers to 124 - allow Professor Cliff to write anonymously in the editorial columns. According to the Professor, it had been his custom for years back to write regularly for the editorial column of The .7WW01f, but Ukers took a different stand from that occupied by his predecessors. If other .7W1'1'07f editors were satisfied to let Professor Cliff's work pass as their own I am not, he declared in his emphatic way, and so Cliff and Ukers drew swords and fought it out to the bitter end.

Z 1 ' q-, THE SANCTUM SANCTORUMP In that little brush with the only great Professor Cliff Bill Ukers laid bare his policy. It was to make The Zlhwor fearlessly independent, purely original and truly representa- tive of the sZzzrz'em's of the Central High School. The suc- cess of the journal under his management has proven him to be a man of genuine executive ability, unquestioned busi- ness tact and a true journalist. The students of the school 125 ' to-day feel that The ZWWQV in coming years, while profiting by his experience, will never go beyond the high literary standard to which he has brought it. Editor Ulcers always favored the Broad and Green Streets' site for a new High School, and always condemned the idea of locating the school at Twenty-sixth and jefferson streets. He hrst advanced the proposition to do away with childish prejudice and establish -good feeling between the students of the High and Manual Training Schools. He also started the idea of' giving the first dance and reception ever given by students of the school, and its subsequent success reflects largely upon his cham- pionship ofthe scheme. In the paper itself he caused a sys- tematic division into departments to be made and gave each editor a certain amount of space in which to air his own views and opinions. He improved the typographical appear- ance by causing it to be illustrated with half-tone photographs of-members of the Faculty, cuts ofmen prominent in the jour- nalistic iield in Philadelphia and numerous other illustrations, in addition to an engraved cover printed each month in colors. In short, he made it a magazine and a mirror, and at once a credit to himself and to the school. Associated with Mr. Ulcers in the discharge of his duties were some six department editors, without whom the editor- in-chief has often declared it would have been impossible to have reached the high plane now occupied by The I-Wb'70lf. First of these was William H. G. Bradner, editor of the department of Belles Lefzfffes. Mr. Bradner has proven his ability as a literary critic and reviewer by the excellent qual- ity of the literary matter contained in his columns during the year. His bright editorials and monthly reviews were always much sought after, while his poetry would have done credit to a Holmes or a Longfellow in their youngerdays. me Frederick C. Newbourg instituted a complete revolution in the Class and School Department upon his assuming the responsibilities of editor, and soon succeeded in giving it a refined tone and making it thoroughly enjoyable reading for all by eliminating the trashy school-boy nonsense with which his predecessor had filled it.

Gorham added to Our Sister Colleges the Drexel Institute and the School of Design, and wrote prac- tical advice in his eds for the fair she. William W. Matos made the Sporting Department better than it ever was before or can ever hope to be in the future. He made it a point to publish each month an article by some I27 . student on some topic of sporting interest, and it is mainly due to his untiring energy and sound editorials that the school occupies its present position-in football, baseball and cricket. H. Allen Schaeffer leaves behind him the enviable repua tation of having given a prominence to the Exchange Depart- ment never before attained, and We feel sure his monthly sallies of Wit and humor will be greatly missed among the exchanges. Robert S. Winsmore and George V. Z. Long kept up the business end with praiseworthy enterprise, and are deserv- ing of much credit for their labor. Upon Mr. NeWbourg's resigning from office Mr. Bon- naffon took charge. His refreshing editorials will always be remembered. He also resigning, Mr. Lamborn was appointed to the office, and to his credit be it said he carried out faith- fully and well the policy laid down by Mr. Newbourg. The Mi7'707 under ,Q3 met with favor Wherever it Went. The Alumni selected it to be its ofhcial organ,and credit for this mark of distinction should be given Professor Houston, through whose efforts it was made possible. Out into every nook and corner of the city the paper found its way and into every State of the Union as well. ' The Mf70V den, just under the roof was the scene of many free fights, boxing matches and pitched battles. Here would Bill Jones and Percy Moore come at recess to eat pies and pitch pennies. Here would the editors correct proofs and swear to their heart's content at printer and contributor. Here Winsnuore and Fenton had their celebrated scrap'f over a cigarette and Bill Ukers took that famous hand in the game. Here it was that Scotty's grip was often hid, and VVright's strap found rest And Snyder never knew aught about it-poor, innocent, kind-hearted man! I28 In conclusion, The Jwkfrozf editors one and all are deserv- ing of our heartiest congratulations, for, as Professor Smyth said at the class banquet, they have succeeded in publishing the best MZ?7'07' ever issued in the High School. l The Jlliwozf, cz 'votre same .f EAYXMYMTF d 4, l How W ri , fri :HOLE .... e --e X lil . 5,jl25',:n 1 J..

AY back in January the subject was first thought of Several of The Mk'7'07' staff' put their brainy craniums together, and finally came to the conclusion that it was altogether Htting that Ninety- three's ZWW01' should inaugurate what would doubtless prove an annual occurrence of much social enjoyment in connection with the regular must of school routine. 5 The editor-in-chief has been openly accused of having been the iirst to promulgate the scheme, but, while this may be a true bill, it is evident, from subsequent disclosures, that Pop Gorham was as deep in the mire as any one else. At all events, Pop was appointed chairman ofthe Hoor committee, and as early as February the New Century Draw- ing Room was secured for the first M77'07 dance, to be held on the evening of April the seventh. After a afmcmzire with the class about the who-has-the- right-to-give-this privilege, the class was taken into the project as a necessary evil, and the dance was advertised as a M'V707-C1358 Affair. Then Gorham secured a number of patronesses for the evening in order to add color' to the occasion, and, after another tilt with a certain husband of a certain one of these on the published list, and whose name 'was gingerly dropped in consequence, arrangements were pronounced complete. 130 Well, the evening arrived, and with it Bradner in his grandfathefs dress' suit. A promenade concert preceded the reception and dance. The subject of the evening was De Koveiz. The Celebrated High School Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof Gustavus Sicklesf' had this in charge, and Robin Hood, Knickerbockers and The Fencing Mastern were slaughtered with becoming obsequies. The Banjo Club also obligingly drummed a few choice selections in the intermissions, and for their services then declared themselves entitled to all the refreshments provided in the supper rooms. A dance programme of some twelve numbers wound up the festivities, and the hrst Jl42'1'1'0r dance was stamped a success. The fair, the chaste and unexpressive she was there, and could it well be otherwise? Then, too, Bonnaffon graced the occasion with his father's dress suit neatly stuffed with pillows, in addition to the family diamonds upon his whitewashed front, and these also added to the impressive- ness if not to the success of the evening, and yet, after all, lm' verdict is the one we value the most, and she declared it to be just Zoo 1011051 for anything! , ,, 111' 1 - X X ' x wa ts' f 'ful 'Q-ex na.- gf 'I gm.-5 ...M iT ' ' , V wil l ' ': T ri x?-1: 4 - Y 'I 1 'fl -fl , - f 1 , K ,, ' K.

CON after the formation of the' High School Association, the members began the discussion of a proposition to invite the two Manual Training Schools to join ours in a parade to be given on the 26th of Novem- ber last. Having ascertained the Willingness of the majority of the studeiits to enter into the scheme, a committee was appointed to confer with com- mittees appointed from the two Manual Training Schools. Aside from the polite dis- cussions on the subject, the students of the Manual Train- ing Schools and of the High School had for a long time previous been indulging in numerous hair-pulling match- es and frequent street-brawls over the merits of their respective schools. The sports for years past had been marked by the most disgraceful 2 rushes and grand free fights ever witnessed in this good -old Quaker town. Not that rushing is so disgraceful in itself but because the participants were usually children fresh from grammar-school teachings, and in whom no sense of student honor seemed to take hold. The rushes were never good-natured, even if hotly-contested struggles for a physical championship growing out of a legitimate rivalry between the schools, but were nearly always Hstic set-to's between a few hot-heads from each institution, and who, as a general rule, never knew why they had any desire to strangle their oppo- nent other than the fact that he was a Manual or a High School man. And so the red shirt was hung out whenever the two schools met. - Taking the above facts into careful consideration, the best spirits of '93, C. H. S., came to the conclusion it was about time such childish nonsense was stopped. The committee appointedeto meet the committee from the other two schools found that the Manual Training students were of a like -opinion. It was then proposed that the two Manual Train- ing Schools join with us in a public manifestation of the kindly feelings declared existing between the schools, and which public manifestation would also serve another purpose- that of convincing the good people of Philadelphia by our gentlemanly deportrnent that we were worthy beneficiaries -of a higher education Qlledgeff editorialj. The High School Association had been formed for the purpose of organizing and equipping the students for orderly parading in the interests of our proposed new building, this step having been deemed right and proper by reason of the very favorable impression the' parade on Columbus Day had produced on press and public. It had been the intention of the association to give a grand parade some time in November 133 in- the interests of the new High School, long before the joint parade was talked about. When the subject of a joint parade came up we saw that we could accomplish a good work by uniting and burying the hatchet and still not interfering with our original plan. This, then, was how the joint parade came to be first talked about. The original idea of a High School parade in the interests of a new school building was not given up when the subject of a joint parade came up, it was simply merged into the joint parade-made secondary to the joint parade-whose first and only great object was to publicly solemnize the new relations declared to exist between the hitherto antagonistic schools. 'VVe have given this statement of fact, because it would appear from the views held by the historian of the Class of '93, C. M. T. S., that we had called upon the boys of the Manual Training School to help swell our numbers, because we did not have enough boys of our own to make a creditable showing in a parade for our new High School,', and, further, that, under the disguise of burying the hatchet of the trouble which had so long existed between the two schools, we had enticed them into a thing which meant everything for us and nothing for them. He further adds that they Qthe M. T. S.j 'twere easily taken in, and after the parade was over, were ready to kick themselves for 'being such fools. The historian in question shows a surprising ignorance of facts, as any unprejudiced observer cannot fail to note. His handling of the subject is an absurd and ridiculous misconception of the whole affair. We regret that the Recon! committee has permitted such erroneous statements to be published. PVe1fe it true, it does not speak very much for the discernment of the class who were so easily taken in, as their chronicler puts it. In another part of their Record, 134 under the heading of Our Little Part in the Parade, a true statement of facts is given, and the story is told by some one who evidently knows of what he is talking, and whose choice of English is on a par with his perception of truth. V Well, let other recorders say what they will, facts remain the same, and it is a fact that the joint committees decided to have a joint parade, to defray the expenses of which a joint entertainment was held at Association Hall. Here Dieck, Bray, Winsmore and Ukers spouted 'l for the amusement and edification of a large audience, while the Banjo Club played, Davy VVallace pounded the piano, and Prof Smyth read-all these from the C. H. S.-and other selections were given by members of the other two schools. Mr. joseph McLenan, C. M. T. S.5 Mr. George C. Muhley, N. E. M. T. S., and Mr. Ukers, C. H. S., were the committee in charge of this entertainment and of the parade. All this time, sincelthe date of the parade had been finally set for November 26th, the High School Association had been hard at work organizing and drilling the students for the turn-out. We had many obstacles to contend with, however, and chief among these was the lack of interest taken by the Faculty in the affair. In each of the Manual Training Schools the Faculty were units for the parade, and, by their counsel, advice and practical assistance, materially aided the boys in their preparations. With us the case was different. Out of a Faculty of twenty-four, not more than five or six were in sympathy with the movement, and only three gave it their hearty co-operation. These three were Professors Benjamin F. Lacy, Frederick F. Christine and Monroe B. Snyder. As soon as Prof Lacy heard that a parade was talked about he at once offered his services and his military experience. To him we owe all our knowledge of military tactics, and to him 135 I is due the credit of the fine showing which our boys made on parade. His was a practical aid, for which the High School Association was deeply grateful. Prof Christine likewise aided the cause by never letting slip an opportunity to H talk it up 'i among the boys, in fact, every class which came to the professor during all the time we were preparing for the 26th had impressed upon them their duty in regard to the j5ezfmde. Prof Christine's kindness will not soon be forgotten. Prof Snyder likewise made it a point to preach parade whereverthe opportunity offered. In the observa- tory, in the cafe, in the chapel, everywhere, in fact, where a doubting Thomas could be found, Snyder was there to argue for the parade. Now, contrast all this generosity of heart and hand with the mean, selfish nature of the man who,when he heard that the students had decided to parade in the cause of our new building, declared, as his honest conviction, Boys, you have pm' the new Hzlgh 'School bade seven years by this af!! ' I l Such a ridiculous statement, coming from a man of Prof Houstonssupposed intelligence opened the eyes as well as ears of quite a number of his blind admirers. The true statement of facts are these: At that time Prof Hous- ton was the only man in the Faculty who was making any marked demonstration in favor of a new High School. He it was who in the three-fold capacity of alumnus, professor and member of the committee had made a speech in favor of the measure before Councils. He was, apparently, the one man in all the Faculty most interested in the new building. Having, by dint of numerous long-winded speeches before the Alumni and Councils, succeeded in convincing the dear public of this fact, he had become the observed of all ob- servers, and at the same time the most successfully advertised 136 man in The Central High School. This was something to be proud of as any of the gentlemen who are out for the office of president of the school, will agree, especially when the gentleman in question had attained his enviable position through a diplomatic move, the evidentpurpose of which no one could question. To all intents and purposes Prof Houston was working hard for his Alma Jlfaferf-in reality he was doing a species of see that hump? advertising for himself Wluen, then, the boys wished to take a hand and help the good cause along, it was only natural that the pro- fessor should object, because the movement certainly de- tracted from the greatness of Houston. So much for him. Others in the Faculty at least had honest objections-or else in most cases did not bother their brains about the affair. Prof Smyth is a good example of the bullet-headed English- man, who, when once he has an idea of his own nrmly fixed in his headheaven and earth can't remove it. Prof Smyth got it into his bullet-head that the parade was going to be'a failure. Yet he did not go around and bellow forth his opin- ions from every church-spire and steeple. No, he saw the boys were in earnest, and no matter what he thought, it was his duty to aid them, and he did so, and in the most practical way, by 'giving his services at Association Hall as a reader. And that act of kindness on his part the boys were not slow to appreciate. - It is easily seen how our progress was hindered at every step, and how we had to fight down prejudice and foggish- ness as we advanced. And yet, after all, the parade was a glittering success. It would be impossible to give a detailed account of the whole affair. The papers of the twenty- seventh and the Lcdgw' of the twenty-eighth give columns of detail on the subject. The best authentic account will be 137 1 found in The f7ZQZlZi'67' of the twenty-seventh. A condensed statement of the pageant is printed here for reference:- Parade formed at Broad and Diamond at 8.40, and moved south over the published route in following order: Platoon of mounted police, float, Merry Mephistoesf' Second Regiment Band, barouche containing the presidents of the Senior classes of the three schools, Committee of Arrangements, C. H. S., under command of Captain Matos, barouche and floats, C. M. T. S., under command of Captain Doyle, Fife and Drum Corps, N. E. M.,T. S. under command of Vincent Brecht, with floats and trans- parencies. Fireworks were set off in our honor by the Y. M. C. A. and The PhzYezcieQblzz'ez flzgzzzkfer. At the High School, on the dismissal, the Senior and Junior classes of the Central High School drew up on either side of the street and saluted the M. T. S. students as they passed through. During this pleasing ceremony the band played Home, Sweet Homef' on the corner. ' To say that the Faculty, members and students who prophesied a disastrous ending to the demonstration were scarce on the following Monday morning, would hardly express their humiliation. They were scarce for days. Snyder, the good-hearted soul, with all his faults, We love him still, was so overjoyed that the boys had triumphed' that he brought down copies of the papers containing accounts of the affair, and, after blue-lining them, tacked them upon the bulletin-board QFD, that all who choose to run might read. Smyth admitted himself mistaken, and even Houston came slinking in, convinced he had made a bad break and anxious to be heard in the general congratulation -but not until he had read the Ledger editorial would he acknowledge the extent of his humiliation. I38 And the Class of'93 had done it all. Eleven hundred boys had buried the hatchet with imposing obsequies and seven hundred yelled themselves hoarse for a new building. And who shall say they accomplished naught? Had it not been for Ninety-three, it is more than prob- able the new High School would still have been a fancy creation in the minds of a few.

In fact, there was scarcely any portion of the building in which We did not make ourselves tu humf' But when the yard rushes of the Sophomore year were transferred to 1 the cellar in the junior and Senior 3 - years the fun grew fast and furious indeed. When yard rushes were on top, Ninety-three, under the leadership of Matos and Stoker and othersz could invariably carry all before it with but very little opposition. We never feared Ninety-two in a display of class spirit, because that in Ninety-two was sadly lacking. There are but one or two instances on record where Ninety- two' even made a feeble stand against our onslaughts. But Ninety-four had more pluck, and when these latter had become wise jackasses we had some pretty tough Work to keep our end up. The .' L' Bill 15. 1 l'41gv,, 11, 3 ' my 1 .

'Rahl 'Rah! ,lffllll 'Rahl 'Rah!-1-Junior! 140 and by reason of Billy Green's having an exasperating fond- ness for jotting down the names of the leaders in the yard' rushes, from his side observation Window, and because of Smyth's occupancy of the chapel Window, at the other end of the building, we deemed it best, for the peace of all concerned, that we transfer our friendly contentions to the cellar. VVell,. the Sophs would take one- side and Ninety-three would take the other, and then together we would come, each making for the other's points of vantage, and each endeavoring, at the same time, to retain their own cellar. Fun ? Why, we had such great times that Johnson thought it advisable to put Chester Farr and Frankie Lacy down in the cellar to help the good work along. I If We had good times before the coming of these two- into the cellar, we lived in clover after. How we used to scheme to get the better of them! Farr was a very meek little fellow,eWhom nobody fearedvery much, and so johnson put him in the Freshman cellar. But Frank Lacy, with his military bearing, wildly-snorting rhetoric, stentorian tones and Indian Warwhoop gestures-ah, he was the man to overawe the Seniors! And so he was given a stand in the Senior cellar. Well, as it was not polite to turn off the light While Lacy Was present, a committee was usually detailed to- entice his lordship into the outer cellar. This they generally accomplished by Wheedling him into a discussion on Classics or Mental Science, and then, while he would be pouring forth a flood of eloquence on the subject to a seemingly interested crowd of spectators, so gathered around him that he could not see the burner in the Senior cellar, out would go the gas and the doors would be quickly barricaded, the first intimation Lacy having of the deed's having been com- mitted being a howl of derision from the mob assembled in 141 the darkened cellar. Hello, Lacy! Where's Lacy? Who was Max Straube? etc., etc. Then would Lacy's blood wax hot, and he would make a bee-line for the door-Gee whiz! how he would go at that door! 'I Now, boys, I'm going to sweep the cellar. Come, now, get out! A shout of defiance invariably greeted this announcement, while the howls and cat-calling, interspersed with taunting personal remarks, would be redoubled. Then would break forth the Senior yell, and for reply Lacy would give his warwhoop and then proceed to break in the door. Of course he eventually succeeded in restoring order and light to the cellar, and on one or two occasions even went so far as to haul a culprit or two before his majesty in Room I. But that was very seldom. Lacy was always at his best in the centre of a sympathizing and thoroughly subdued crowd in the basement, ranting and fuming away, somewhat in this strain: You're all babies, you act like little children, not like young men. Now, the first boy I catch, I'll. make an example of-the idea of such carryings on. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, etc. But the very next day the boys came back, Lacy was enticed into some out-o19the- way corner and the whole scene enacted over again. Ah, those were happy days ! 142 iilihn Cllnrnnr 'Prager X Q, iilneting, 'HN' Cayley HE advent ofthe class upon the Junior campus was marked by a curious upheaval of freaks cf6- ,gg 9 ,l 415: .ggi L 5' gli N' gg- ' and many gorgeous displays of class spirit. ' D The first intimation of class devilishness . ,J cropped out on the day of the fall sports, lmv 'aw when Bill Ulcers tacked up a notice on the lb 7 I db f, Z5 bulletin-board inviting all the gentlemen of as yt Ninety-three to meet at the close of the session and proceed with gentlemanly deco- rum to the scene of the Field Day Sports at Wayne junction, concluding with this significant couplet:- Respectable Fun Everyone Come ! I It will be remembered that Professor Houston seized upon this innocent-looking notice as a suitable text for his first hour's lecture. It will also be remembered that he called the man who put the notice up nasty names, and that he apologized for using these same epithets the following hour. An indignation meeting was held in the yard at recess, and that afternoon, nearly one hundred strong, Ninety-three paraded the field and swept all before it. The corner prayer meeting was the outcome of this sports' day frolic, and every 143 Friday, at two, on the corner of Broad and Green, in open defiance of Houston and the rest, Ninety-three met and made Rome howl. Hundreds from the other classes would attend these open-air gatherings and remain attentive listeners to the close. The services were generally opened by singing a selec- tion from Ninety-three's hymnal, a book of gems carefully selected and compiled for use in Ninety-three's prayer meet- ings. Following cheers for the class and school, Chaplain Dillon would render up an invocation for Ireland and the President of the United States. Choirmaster Stoker would then rise, and in his deep-seated alto, announce the next hymn. Hymn-books were furnished all who wished to join their voices in the sacred chorus. This congregational sing- ing under the direction of Stoker and his efficient choir, generally proved' to be Zhe feature of the meeting. Sermons and short talks from Deacon Jones and Elder Smitheman and a host of lesser lights generally completed the programme, and then after having downed Chissy and immersed Max Straube in beer and pretgels up to his knees several times, the closing hymn would be announced. This the congrega- tion would render with much feeling and tender pathos as they slowly dispersed :- For Ninety-eight to sing, For Ninety-eight to sing, It is-It is a glorious thing For Ninety-eight to sing, Da, ra, ra!-1-Boom ! 144 QB111' Glnlumhian Q4 1 iF'fflIif+ -u ,Z ' - R3 EZ ,V fx' NAQQ, .- N the morning of Columbus Day we , ,g assembled in the chapel to listen to Q the programme prepared in honor lgfrwnfg 'X ' f of the occasion, and incidentally to . mi be bored by speeches from Faculty ,rl yr 1 members, and orations from duly inspired students. After listening to I-Iarshaw's Hmouthingu for some fifteen minutes, and being favored with a long-winded disser- tation by Prof Houston on The Practicability of Columbus' Discovery, remarkable only because of the number of grammatical errors it contained 3 these two, in addition to others of lesser note, we were glad enough to make good our escape to the yard. Some four hundred strong, de gang gathered about the Hag-pole athirst for blood, and not at all particular what kind. Wllere should they go? Bill Ukers solved the problem by placing himself at the head of the crowd and leading them off' in a grand parade down town. A collection was 'taken up, Hags and colors purchased, and then, after having reorganized on the City Hall plaza, down Chestnut street we went, making the need of a new High School the keynote of the demonstration. To say that we X45 owned Philadelphia would be putting it mildly. None were too poor to do us reverence. The city's blue coats held back the street cars while we passed, wagons and vehicles of all kinds made way for our imposing columns, now about a square and a half long, and so, singing and yelling, we marched on down Chestnut to the 17ZQZli7'?7f,.S' ofnce, where Senator Osbourne addressed us on behalf of the paper which was so nobly enlisted in our cause. Then down to the D77ZES, where Col. McClure was prevailed upon to deliver a stirring speech, and so on to each newspaper office in turn, at all of which we were well received and royally treated. A patent medicine freak by the name of Why amused the crowd for a while, after which a grand rally was held around the Wash- ington statue in Independence Square. Patriotic songs were sung, and even the Liberty Bell rung with the High School yell when Bill Ukers mounted the picket fence surrounding the immortal George and placed the school colors in his hand. Was it any wonder the newspapers took up the dis- cussion of the new building the day following ? Was it any wonder we eventually got it after working for it like that? 4 f6EI1e August itarzultg. GOD SAVE THE MARK! I ' IKE other classes, we had our likes and dislikes. v I i , - Some members of the Faculty we shall never , i cease to admire, and others will ever remain . H grim spectres of a past, we thank, our lucky 'u e stars can never be recalled. When we entered . I 5 the school, Sam Berger taught us Latin. Jove, ' H' 'M how he used to teach it! We can see him yet on the chapel platform pacing excitedly to and fro. Sam was new in those days Qhe made his dabziz' before Ninety-threej, and he never had much patience with the men who had no yearning after Cesar. Trainer used to sit in his seat half-way down the aisle and carry on animated discus- sions with others around him on the subject of the Distillation -of Liquors, utterly oblivious to Mr. Berger or his Caesar. 4' Mr. Trainer, ,Berger would splutter, I want you to pay attention, here, or I'll send you to the President. Trainer's only reply would be a savage growl followed by some expres- sion of deep feeling, similar to this, Say, if you don't take your gondolas down off my seat I'll knock daylight into you. Then Berger would rave and pace the platform. Trainer would look at him cornpassionately for a few minutes, and then mayhap would put the whole class into a roar by ' 147 remarking, Now he's hunting for blood! And Berger never dared ire him because his father was a brewer, and Trainer himself had brewer's blood in his veins. Stoker, the holy terror '1 of the section, one day attempted to argue it out with Sam that he had not given the class the lesson he was hearing. Berger's reply has become a High School proverb. He stood aghast for a moment at Stoker's audac- ity, and then found breath enough to exclaim, Ch, now, Mr. Stoker, some of Zlze wwf! Ninety-three soured Mr. Berger on High School boys, and since then he has always been to them a source of continual worrimen-t. Still, at heart he's a good fellow, and it was a shame that Trainer ever christened him Limburger, a name which has clung to him ever since. lfVe used to have great times with Miller during the Freshman year. We can hear him yet get off that Sit down, Zero-and that's too much! Everybody liked Miller, and to him we owe, more than to anyone else, our knowledge of the High School and its workings, and what was expected of us as students. Know the lesson to-day, Ulcers? he asked one morning, Yes, sir, replied Ukers, rising and making ready to receive a question. All right, then, remarked Miller, you can sit down-ten. This was huge, but it became luscious when Ulcers found out it happened nearly every day. He soon grew into the naughty habit of saying he knew his lesson when he didn't, and taking an undeserved ten. But one day Miller surprised him. After he had risen in his manliness, seemingly very anxious to get a quiz and apparently- knowing it all, Miller said, Know the lesson to-day, Ukers? Yes, sir, he replied with much self-confidence, the more to impress Miller with the fact that he did know it. All right--you i 148 may recite, then l And poor Ukers got a duck. The class took to Bartine as Well. He can't teach algebra so Well, but he has a ruggedness of character that boys admire and learn to love. Why do so many of you want to leave the room the first hour? he used to ask. When you come to school in the morning you ought to come prepared to stay all day. Bring the children and stay all day! bawled a voice from the rear, and then Doc lit on Wallace and made him sit h'ont. Groaning in Doc's room grew to be a fine art with us. lfVhen it grew boisterous Doc would turn and look at us over his spectacles and say, Some boy's got a pain in here. He'd better get out! Hopper taught us more in an hour than some other professors have taught us in the whole four years of our stay. We never 'indulged in much foolin' in his room- We worked like beavers there. In the Sophomore! year Doc Holt Won our hearts so -completely that, when Christmas came around, We presented him with the cane he even now carries. Billy Greene was no less loved and honored, in spite of his antipathy for the various class societies. Many of our members wore suggest- ive aprons and colors in his room. To this he soon put a stop. Imagine his Wrath one morning, When, in defiance of his edict, Stoker, Schock and Schatferentered with streaming blue ribbons. Take those ribbons oi he thundered. But, Professor, expostulated Stoker, They are Sunday-school -badges. Sunday-school be d-d, howled Billy, Take 'em off! And they did. Snyder is a very gentle beast, so gentle indeed that he is fast becoming too good for the High School. The class tackled pretty kindly to him, but his languagewas not plain, and so we shook him and decided to take Houston. Out ofthe frying-pan into the ire. Of i 149 course we didn't know Houston then as we know him now.. Houston was the man We saw the most of when we first 'came to the school. He it was who impressed us most by his- omnipresence. VVe were taught to regard him as the true friend of the boys. We liked him pretty well until we got as far as the Junior year. Then we began to see him in his true light. Since the Junior year in a hundred little ways has he arrayed himself at variance with class spirit and boy- ish fun, We grew to dislike him more and more until the Senior year. He capped the long train of abuses at the final examination, when he stood up and boldly accused the class of having had his questions. It is my honest conviction, said he, that my questions have been outf' What if he did think so, he did not know if! and was it the very best taste to accuse upon mere surmise P It was a decidedly un- diplomatic move, and certainly very ill-timed. Because a few made unexpectedly high averages in his branch he must per- force suppose they had the questions. Even admitting they did have the questions, how did they get them P' Who was to blame for that? No one but Houston, surely. Again, what if a few did surprise him with their averages, was that any reason why he should cast an odiurn upon the whole class? The whole proceeding so disgusted the class that they were glad enough to be forever rid of' him when graduation brought emancipation from his slurring remarks. He is the one man in the Faculty with whom the class wish to have nothing more to do. Another of the Houston stripe the class encountered in the person of Prof Cliff This is the gentleman who- promised, while we were juniors, to find situations for any who desired to enter journalistic life after graduation. In the Senior year we Find him discouraging every man who- 150 contemplated entering journalism, and not in one instance helping any to obtain a position. Cliff was always feeling unwell when recitation days came around, and nothing delighted him more than to shirk a lesson. We learned precious little with him, and were glad enough when he became elected Principal of the New Girls' Normal School. There was always a supercilious sneer in his tone, when speaking about any of the class he did not fancy, that made him generally disliked. In previous years he had always been chosen high cock-a-lorum in the Seniors' entertainments. Ninety-three dispensed with his service and vast experience, and got along much better for the change. Every class lights with Christine, and we were no exception. We fought our light to the bitter end, but even though we still feel Chrissy was in the wrong and that he is a philosophical crank on some things, we cannot find it in our hearts to bear him any ill will at parting. He taught us much, and labored hard with us. We know we were unruly at times, yet we feel that he might have been more patient and less hasty. For the rest of the Faculty we have none but the kind- liest feelings. We regret having to leave the High School with a bitterness in our hearts for any one, but if people will bring such unpleasant avalanches about their ears, we are not to blame. CIB111' ilnailett 'X w'ElQ,.,.f' ELL, when the Phi Epsilon decided to publish it, two big people wanted to be editor-in-chief A These were Bill Ukers and Eddie Smitheman. tl There was a hotly-contested election as a con- QX Q T LE sequence, and when the smoke had cleared 'Q I 6:15 away Eddie was found to have won by fhisj 'V neck. Eddie at once proceeded to show the class how to do it. He accordingly spent many cans of midnight oil over a half-column romance without a title, and which he published on the editorial page. The story was a melancholy one, and dealt with a lovely maiden and her sad-eyed lover. The author introduced us to a quiet spot on the romantic Schuylkill, near Faizfmozzfzi Dam, and proceeded with Howery diction to tell how this twelve-year-old sweetheart eventually fell upon the neck of the fourteen-summered brave and wept. Eddie only published that one number. The society rose as one man and very unceremoniously nipped Eddie's flowering genius in the bud by ousting him from the editorial chair and electing Willie Ukers over Charlie Mason to Hll the gaseous vacancy. Willie, with his usual Hourish of executive ability, at once enlarged the paper, and to his credit, be it said, made it truly representa- tive of class and society. It was published monthly, and at it 152 times contained so much about Wfillie Ulcers that Willie Siegert, then Trash and School editor of The M'1'1'o1', became alarmed lest Willie Harrison might some day become editor-in-chief of 17716 Mz'1'1'0f', and so he openly accused poor Bill ofthe atrocious crime of having designs upon the editorial position then occupied by Morrie Clayton. Bill replied, and then they had it. This was the only exciting episode connected with the Lmjiefs existence, barring the wonderful eight-page issue published on the occasion of the evening meeting at Bank Hall, when for the first time in the miserly existence of the High School something was actually given away. And so the Lezzjiez' grew and died. iiinntgftltrnn nn the Mrcuset THE CLASS IN CRICKET. EVER before in the history of the school was cricket il ll so well represented as during the past year. For bf' three years this game has been entirely forgotten.. ' Q This year The MTVU7' advocated the organization of a team to represent the school. At once the leaders took the matter in hand, and soon steps towards the accom- plishment of such an athletic feature were introduced. Through the efforts of Messrs. Lorimer D. Miller, ,Q3, Carl N. Martin, ,94, and Edward Wiener, IQ4, the school eleven was organized. Mr. Miller was unanimously elected cap- tain and the success of the team was easily assured. Although the cricket season is a late one, the team managed to play three games before the school season was over. Only one defeat, and that being their Hrst game, was recorded. The team has been organized to represent the school for the entire season, and, with the names of the well-known cricketers on the team, that the season will be passed through success-W fully, there isn't any doubt, no possible shade or shadow of doubt, no possible doubt whatever. 4 N .

PREVIOUS to the time when ,Q3 made her grand ciabziz' in sporting circles connected with the school, . the standard in field sports was not nearly so high as it soon became after the class took hold. In the Freshman year the class did not make any great showing in the fall sports. McDougal managed to win the IOO yards, Junior, but this was the only event won by the class. In the following spring sports the class made a better showing, winning three eventsg the IOO yards dash, Senior, by Tommy Stengerg the high jump, by Trainer Kerr, while Stenger also Won the 220 yards dash. VVhen the class became Sophomores the members took a greater interest in track athletics, and made thirty-three points in the fall sports of 1890, taking second place, the 155 Seniors winning the championship by fifty-two points. jimmy Leyden won the IOO yards dash, junior, Dallam, the shotg john Gubbings, the mileg T. McDowell, the walkg T. Kerr, the high jump, and Sammy Davis, the bike, with Koons second. The next spring sports is where the class took the bulk cf the prizes, falling right in line and winning the school championship, forty points were made by the contestants. Tommy Stenger captured the loo yards dash, Seniorg the 449, and also a second in the 220 yards dash, Charles Lawrence made a second in the loo, junior, A. McDowell wonthe half-mile rung Kerr again captured the high jumpg T. M. McDowell came in second in the walk, Dallam first and Moyer second in the broad jump, and Dallam second in the shot. ,In the fall sports of ,QI the class made another grand record, again taking first place by forty points. The Fresh- men were second, making twenty-four points, with the Seniors third. The events taken by the class were: The IOO by Moyer, high jump by Davis, Nicholson second, walk by T. McDowell, Metzger second, 44Q by A. McDowell5 half- mile run by A. McDowell, broad jump by Moyer, and the mile run by Gubbings, with A. McDowell second. In the following spring the class made its worst show- ing since it entered the school as Freshmen, making only a total of twenty-one points out of a possible eighty-five, and only getting third place. The,Freshmen this year won the championship, with the Sophomores in second place. The measly few we managed to capture, were: The walk by T. McDowell, broad jump by Nicholson, half-mile by A. McDowell, mile by Gubbings, and the high jump by Nicholson. A 56 As Seniors in the fall sports of ,Q2 the class came out tie for first place with the Sophomores, each making twenty- eight points. Moyer took the IOOQ Gubbings the mile and half-mile, W. Bray the 440, T. McDowell the walk, and Moyer the second place in the hop, step and jurnp. Again in the Hnal act of the four years' drama the -class won the school championship in athletics by making twenty-eight points in the spring sports, with the Sophomores a close second. Shafer surprised every one by Winning the bike and taking second place in the IOO. Gubbings took the 220, 440, and the half-mile. A. McDowell Won the hop, step and jump. Taking everything in consideration, the class made an excellent athletic reputation while in the school, and one that will be hard to equal. In the foregoing history only firsts and seconds were accounted for. 157 f' N 'T E li. ' '- , 1'-1 ' I I 51 f , i - r , rf .

Until , the spring of 1892 the school teams had always won fame and glory on the field. In 1892 there was .no teamg but the Class of '93 and The MfV07 advocated the scheme of reorganizing a good school team, and so, early in the present season, the baseball leaders tool: the question in hand and formed the strongest team ever known in the annals of the school. The success of this year's team was largely due to Messrs. Earle, jones, Gideon and james, of the Class of ,Q3. . 158 Messrs. Reber, Randall and McCrone, of '94, and especially to Mr. Seymour Fairbanks, '96. Mr. Sidney Earle, our catcher, has had a long record of ball-playing in the school. The Philadelphia Ifzgzzizfer made a special comment about his star playing, and predicted that he was one of the coming players of the times. His photo- graph graced the Sunday newspaper columns on one occa- sion Qj, and on several other occasions those of Willie Gray Jones and Harry I. Gideon were also shown. On the held we had the most enjoyable frolics with the Manual Training School. The gentlemen at our first game condescended to play seven innings with us, and then came to the conclusion that they wouldn't play the other two. The umpire, who happened, by-the-by, to be a Manual Training man, thought differently about the matter, however, and after much talk on the subject awarded the High School team the game by agscore of 9 to o, because of their opponents refus- ing to play the regulation number of innings. In view of all this the game is claimed a victory for the Manual Training School team in their class record. Now that is too bad- why not be truthful about it anyhow P The truth about the matter is that the Central High School won two games from the Manual Training School and lost but one. ' Bill Ulcers was mainly responsible for this loss. He took an afternoon off and visited the grounds as a mascot. As a mascot his ability is undisputed. fFor further particu- lars see Mrs. Sloppy Weather, care of Perkiomen junction, Pa., Montgomery county. Enclose stamps for replyj The Northeast Manuals are a set of perfect gentlemen, hence the reason that they love their games. But they deserved great credit for severely thrashing the Central blacksmiths. Cheltenham Military team threw up the sponge when they 159 caught sight of our religious little catcher and Indian pitcher. The Philadelphia Orientals also gave up the ghost, and fell in line with the other disappointed umpire-killers. But the Pennsylvania Military College-ah, what memories are recalled when we think of Chester and its pretty girls I The game-never mind talking about it. The Cadets evidently had blood in their eyes, and were bound to get square for that great football defeat 'last year. From the beginning of the game they meant business, and pounded the ball all over the field. Qt made us thi-nk how ducks used to Hy in Room 8.5 Their professional battery was a dandy, and no mis- take. Fairbanks put up his steady game, and Sid. Earle introduced a few new tricks 3 but to no avail. We lost, boo, hoo ! - About the Drexel Institute team We hardly like to make any comments. They are undoubtedly playing ball, because we read how one of the girl students fell in love with a ball- player. We had compassion upon them, and let them off easy, giving them two easy five-inning defeats. - And now the curtain falls upon the last of baseball with good old '93, We have experienced the pleasant times on the trains, mobbing the conductors, feeding in country hotels, and breaking the usual quota of feminine hearts. The revival of baseball in the High School is due solely to Ninety-three. Reber says it is mainly due to his push and energy, but no sober-minded person will agree with him on that score, never fear. 'We believe the restoration will remain. We believe the game will even attain in the future the prominence it held in the days of Singerly, Beitler, Stockton and Pattison. Nay, more, we believe the team will some day in that future be given a day off to leave the city on a trip. 160 The umpire of that Chester game Lies dying at the plateg The gory rocks around him Tell the sad tale of his fate- He has made a rank decision, And the crowd in frenzy deep, Have shuffled off his mortal coil By 'f rocking him to sleep ! n6i Entmzen the Qiuals. NINETY-THREE IN FOOTBALL. OOTBALL has been one of the recognized and most awk! popular games connected with the High School for , A years past, but it was mainly due to Ninety-three 5 3 that the game received that impetus which made last season's playing so brilliant. VVhen the class entered as Freshmen, a class team was at once formed, and soon Ninety-three had it out on the field trying, with the other elevens, for the championship of the school. The Sophs and Juniors were soon defeated and the Freshmen, for the first time in the history of the school, came in contact with the Seniors. At that time the Senior class team was the regular 'school team, having on it all the largest and best players in the school. Theigame, which was a memorable one, resulted in a score of IOS to O in favor ,of the 'Seniors, but this score did not frighten the boys of Ninety-three in the least. The Senior-junior first game resulted in a draw, and then the Seniors, fearing defeat, refused to play a second game. The Juniors, in turn, refused to play the Sophs, thereby giving the Freshman class the championship of the school, a totally unexpected feather for Ninety-three's cap, but one that we wore with becoming grace. Next year the team suffered defeat at the hands of the Juniors. We did not play the Seniors, but defeated the 162 FOOTBALL TEAM. - ,.....,- ,Kb Freshmen, giving us third place in the race. That same year, Ninety-three organized the second eleven, taking men from the classes of Ninety-two and Ninety-four, and entered the Held against outside teams. Four victories against two defeats was the final result. In junior year Ninety-three again won the school championship by defeating every class. The school team was also owned, leased and managed by the class, the captain and manager being from our ranks. To the 'team the class contributed Wfilliam G. Jones, tackle, George V. Z. Long, half-back, H. Sharpley, endg Frank P. Gengenbach, quarter-back, and VVilliam W. Matos, half-back, captain and manager. During the Senior year the class again had the best of the teams. On it were George V. Long, full-back, Frank P. Gengenbach, quarter-back, H. Sharpley, tackle, William W. Matos, captain, and Albert Griffiths, guard. There were no class games this year, owing to the lower classes being unable to organize teams. ' ' In briei to the class is due the honor of placing football among the recognized athletic features connected with the school, and the game to-day has become so popular with all the students that its existence will always become known by a good, strong and well-trained team from the Central High School. 163 ' Elm ilnmzstigntinn iinlnraust. ANOTHER BIT OF INSIDE HISTORY. F course, the dear reader knows there are some three Q or four gentlemen, members of the Faculty of the Ll - Central High School, who are certain in their own 7 'N BE? Xi minds that the presidency of the school would be in I much better hands were it to fall to their respective and individual lots to show the dear public ' how to run a model high school on approved modern ideas. The reader may not know, however, just who these ambitious Caesars are. just who they are, and the story, as well, of their scheming while Ninety-three was on the campus is the purpose of this sketch. We have credited them all with modern ideas-pardon us, we have erred. All but one have modern ideas on the subject. The one in question is none other than our highly respected Professor Stuart. Now Stuart's a real good fellow in his way, as e'n a just a man as e're one's conversation coped withal--a perfect gentleman-if it wasn't for the fact that he will persist in wearing eighteenth century petticoats and Shawls in a nineteenth century institution. The other three -Christine, Snyder and Houston-while not so antiquated . i64 in their ideas, have each some imperfection, some character- istic flaw, which will, we very much fear, lessen their chance of usefulness should they ever come into the presidency of -the High School. The school has done with foggies, and so Stuart's chances are slim. As for Houston, well, he might act in a double capacity, as professor of swimming and presi- dent at one and the same time, and, perhaps, might even then find leisure to write comic operas, translate Latin, or study nature g but, owing to the fact that he will continue to have those honest convictions about parades and examination questions, we still fear he is not in the race. Having gotten rid of Stuart and Houston, the race lies between Christine and Snyder, with chances of neither of them getting it. Out of the above-named four, some one-we wouldn't like to say who--started the investigation holocaust. This investigation, it was fondly hoped, would bring to light some very interesting skeletons which were supposed to dangle in Professor Johnsons private closets. These skele- tons were then to be piled up in- some conspicuous place, all the natives were to be invited to the Wake, and then johnson was to meekly ascend the funeral pyre and be sacrificed. This was the plot as planned. Now We don't mean to say that the four gentlemen interested in the results were leagued together in the scheme to bring these results about. Far from it. They each one distrusted the other, Watched each other swith eagle eye, and had naught in common except an earnest desire for the successful operation of the poison which had been instilled into the minds of the board. We do say one of the four perpetrated the deed and that each awaited the result con- fident that, Whatever it might be, it would forward his own, selfish ends. Unfortunately for the plotters, however, Henry 165 Clarke was onto their little game and blocked it at the start. The investigation committee came, and, in his own frank, outf spoken manliness, President johnson received them, and laid bare the hidden springs ofthe school machinery. And woe is we, ah, misery ! they went away satisfied that the Central High School had for its president a gentleman and a scholar, under whose guiding hand the students Were ever marching onward and upward. And so theinvestigation went up in smoke, and ever since people have been asking, And who was the Guy Fawkes P 166 . ZX Erin tn the iliflnuli. Q ,, ,E V L., URING September of last year a man by the name of Garrett P. Serviss , came to the Park Theatre with a M the ' stereopticon hoax, entitled A Trip ' w u 5 tothe Moon. Professor Snyder, for VA -' s consideration, we are told, agreed to 5 5 ' advertise this gentleman known as T sf- Serviss, and his exhibition known as . VA Trip to the Moon. This he did to such an extent before the Senior Class that the crowd decided to take it in. A The evening arrived, and with it about a hundred or so from good old Ninety-three, all snugly perched on the backs of seats high up in the Park's iLob. We had not been there ten minutes before we owned the place. Feeling swelled with a due sense of our importance, We did not hesitate to give our opinions on anything We liked or did not like. Mayhap we yelled oncefor twice in order to liven things up a bit. At all events Charlie Mason, Arthur Bonnicastle Bray, Norman Roberts andai few such like innocents thought we barried on too dreadful for anything, and so asked us to please stop. Fearful lest strangers 167 might think ivehad brought these little dears out, the gang decided to shake them, and forthwith we adjourned to the top rows. From this point of vantage we raised everything we decided needed raising. In fact, We grew so hilarious at times that the good little boys down in front were real shocked. But when the lights went down and the show began! Ha, that was when we lived! Dillon started a speak-easy, Nicholson and Schock brought up a case and things grew merry. Take the following as a sample of what was heard of the two performances, one on the stage and one in the gallery:- Scrwiss.- This, ladies and gentlemen, is a view within 24,000 miles of the moon. Now you can see more clearly those peculiar eminences which give rise to. the popular belief that there is a man in the moon. It- Vozkefrom Gzzllwfy.- Looks like Gorharn's girl. Serwks.- Of course a very pretty story, but if there is a man there, there must also be a woman. But to knowlf' Crowd.-Ha! Ha! Joke! joke ! In chorus, You must ask of the man in the moon. 'lf' ' fSome one throws an apple-core, which strikes the Mount of Aristarchus right in the crater.j Cries of Good shot! Hit 'em again ! Swfwlvs.- Never-the-less this is ample proof the moon has no atmosphere like our own-- 17oz'ce.- Ah, you're full ,of tacksf' Azzazflzev' Vbice.-- You've got trolleys in your head. Dillon, Qexcitedlyj.- If- if- Ireland wants to get free why-'l ., . V Crowd.- Sit clown, sit down Dillon, you're drunk ! Dillon.- No I'm not-I'll show youiu Sf0ke1'.+ Sit down, or I'll break your face! ies Serwlvs.- Known by some astronomers as Mt. Wash- ington. But-1 Sckajfezf.- Who was George Vlfashington F Chazfzzs.- First in war, hrst in peace, first in the arms of the big police. Pwfzwzwfe.- How 'bout Max Straube? Chorus.- First in pretzels, first in cheese, First in lager beer up to his knees. Serwlvs, Qcoming to the front of the stagej.- Ladies and gentlemen, I thought-J' Nifliolsofz.- Cheese it! The man's going to make a speech. ' Dzllwz.- Better let me Qhicj show him how ! B0lZ7ZlZ'if0lZ.-H Peace ho, Serviss speaksi' fquiet is re- storedj. Semzks fbeginning once morej.-'KI thought, ladies and gentlemeniu Schack.-L Gentlemen. 'l'hat's us. i Sckfzjjfeff.- I-Ie's got a thought. Where is it? Up in your garret P , SE7 UZ1S'S.-UI thought this lecture was to bel Cffowd.- Shut up, can't you. - Sefffvzks.-Given to an audience of refined people. A company of ladies and gentlemen, but it appears that they are in the minority, and that in reality I have been lecturing to a crowd of rowdies! fCries of Good! from the gallery, and I-lit 'em again! Soak it to tem, Garrettlnj ez' al. At the close great applause from the mob. And so we passed a pleasant evening inside. When we got out we paraded down town, and raised a big hullabaloo down Chestnut street to Sixth. Here we had a ring around the Washington Statue, and speeches from Dillon and Dieck 369 . on the State House steps. That was the night Stoker took a man and his Wife home in a cab, and Nicholson forgot the Way home, and Dillon got lost on Chestnut street. That night will also be famous in history, because on that occasion it was that Dieck asked for that fatal glass of ice Water down in Shields It must have been two or three o'clock before what was left of us reached earth again after that night's trip to the moon.

The largest and most secure Safe Deposit Vaults are those of the ' GUARANTEE TRUST ,550 SAFE DEPOSIT CO. 316, 318 and,13zo Chestnut Street These vaults are entirely unconnected with the walls of the fire-proof building containing them, and in their construction 1,700 tons of granite and 4oo,ooo pounds of iron and steel were used, and no expense has been spared to secure every device that can add to the safety of the valuables deposited in them, They are three stories in height, and the London Times described them some years since as being the largest safe deposit vaults in the world, The tire-proof building containing these vaults is entirely separate from other buildings, being surrounded on all sides by streets or wide open space, and guarded day and night by an ample force ofinside and outside watchmen .I If you have use for a safe in which to place valuable papers or securities, it should be a vault that is, Ist-secure from theft, ed-absolutely fire-proof: 3:1-in arproperly guarded Iirevproof building. No building and no Safe Deposit Vaults rn Philadelphia so completely fulnll all of these conditions as do the fire-proof building and Safe Deposit Vaults of the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Co. Safes in these vaults can be rented at as low rates as are charged elsewhere for inferior accommodations. Independently of expense, however, to those who intrust yaluable papers and securities to the custody of Safe Deposit Companies, the question, am I getting the security I pay or? is extremely pertinent. :::r::::::a:::::::::::p:Q1::::::::::::::w:::::::::f-o-4:1:::Q-ox::::::+o::::::::n::::::o :T-IOOPES 8a TOWNSEND We me at iiliiijill I' iitiiiiiliiilllltii -'M-W , .

'H Short History of the Central High School. Our public-school system of education dates back to the year ISIS, but, on the 19th of September, 1837, when the corner-stone of the High School was laid, the system was so little valued that there were but I7,000 pupils and 80 teachers, at an annual expense Qi837j ofjSI9I,64o.21. At the present time CI8Q3D there are more than 120,000 pupils, and 2,700 teachers. The High School was opened for scholars Cctober 21, 1838. The building was of brick, with a marble front, it was situated on juniper street, facing Penn Square, about halfway between Market and Clover streets,adjoining the Pennsylvania Arsenal. The observatory, which rose from the rear of the building, was a conspicuous object, and the observations made there by E. Otis Kendall and Sears C. VValker, attracted the attention of learned men on the other side of the great ocean. The first class admitted contained sixty-three members, whose average age was twelve years and ten months. Most of these have passed from among us, it may not beinvidious to say that several of them are to-day numbered among the prominent citizens of Philadelphia. The boy who graduated at the head ofthe combined first and second classes is to-day a professor in the English High School, in Boston, Mass. The Faculty ofthe school during the first term consisted of but four members-Enoch C. Wfines, A. M., in the Depart- ment of Ancient Languages, who acted as Principal of the school, john Frost, LL. D., in the English Department, he was the successful author of a great variety of text-books, joseph Whartoii, and E. Otis Kendall, now Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, in the Department embracing Mathematics, Astronomy,Natural Philosophy and Chemistry. '91 A good deal of good style is a good thing for young fellows-you'll agree to that. But, what is good style? You ask one of your friends and he points to his new suit. You ask another and he points- to his. You pursue it farther, and, as you go on, you find there is one thing about which they all agree. That one thing- that they bought their clothes at this store. What is the wisest thing, then, for you, another young fellow wanting good style, to-do ? x S. Nl. WANANYAKER 81 CO. The Fiqest Clo'nf1ingHuuse iq llmeiina, 818 CHESTNUT STREET William Vodges, LL. D., was appointed during the year to teach Practical Mathematics. During the second year, Alexander Dallas Bache, LL. D., a grandson of Benjamin Franklin, tendered his services to the Board of Control,until he should be needed to fill the position of President of Girard College, to which office he had been elected. The Faculty was also increased by the addition of Henry MclVlurtrie, M. D., to teach Natural History, Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene. ALEXANDER DALLAS BACH E. Professor Bache was eminently qualified for the position which he now assumed. He proposed a scheme for the -organization ofa system of instruction to occupy four years, with three distinct courses, elective with the pupils-an English Course of two years, for those pupils who must enter business at the earliest possible moment, which omitted the study of the Classics, and was eminently practical, a Princi- pal Course of four years, intended as a more thorough pre- paration for business, which included the study of French and GEO' S' Fox 8' SCN KBLISIUIIB PIHSIHI UU.

The object of the school, according to Professor Bache, was 'to prepare pupils for business life, and not to remove them from it, and the results of his wise management, and thorough organization of the course of instruction, have been of the utmost value to the school. ln September, 1842, Professor Bache left the High School to enter the service of the United States, as JOHN s. HART. Superintendent of the Coast Survey, regretted by all who had known him. He was the man for the hour, and the compiler of this, who knew him well, can justly say we shall not soon see his like again. ' John S. Hart, LL. D., succeeded to the position of Prin- cipal, and soon proved himself to be an admirable man for theplace. He was kind and gentle, a firm diciplinarian, and untiring in his zeal for the best interests of the school.

Maguire, A. M., succeeded to the principal- ship in january, 1859. Professor Maguire has the credit of separating tests of scholarship from those of conduct. How far failure in conduct should be allowed to affect the standing of a pupil was a vexed question, he solved the problem in a manner that satisfied the boys' sense of justice. A pupil, whose intellectual standing entitles him to promotion, should be promoted, if his misconduct does not give sufficient warrant for his expulsion from school. His views, in regard csoacs INMAN RICHE. to the proper object to be attained by a course of instruction, were equally sound. The education of the school-room is not, and should not be, a preparation for a trade, occupation or profession, it should not be a specialty, but it should be such a discipline of all the powers, as will enable the possessor to attain eminence in any pursuit, to which inclination may' lead. It is the foundation upon which to build. Professor Maguire retired from the administration of the school in ST. C5EORGE'S I-IF'XL.L.

The new President Lwas associated with thirteen Pro- fessors, seven of Whom were, like himself, graduates of the school. His task of reorganizing the school, and revising the course of instruction, was a difficult one. Naturally of a conservative turn of mind, the changes that he made were made slowly, and with the greatest circumspection. His FRANKLIN TAYLOR. course of study was slowly evolved by gradual changes in the methods previously in use. The number of the studies was reduced, and the departments of Physics, Chemistry and Astronomy were rendered more efficient by the addition of the most recent apparatus and materials for the illustration of scientific principles. The study of English Literature was made a special department, and from this period it has continued to be one of the ,best features of the course of instruction. -- fff f ' f+-fffff'-- HEALTHFUL HOUSE-WARMING -i 1 ,fm-lf:f',.w ' -, . 5 gk Q M V N You will lznow what that means -ffl!if,llfi'flfi!llEl'! f 'fl SIE ' 'f you use the ?b.,EB ,w grajis-L IE P fe1::.fH - Wi -.'

For nineteen years, Professor Riche remained as Presi- dent of the school, and when, in 1885, he resigned his charge, his loss to the school was regretted by thousands of its former pupils, as well as by the Faculty, and his friends throughout the State. Professor Franklin Taylor, who was at that time filling the chair of English Literature in the school, was selected as his successor. President Taylor, after two years and a-half, during which time, owing to sickness, he could only give HENRY CLARK JOHNSON. about ten months to his duties in the school, resigned his position, and Henry Clark Johnson, Professor of Latin in the Lehigh University, was selected to ill the vacancy. Professor johnson has restored the former elective system of courses of instruction, and has strengthed the Classical Course by the addition of two competent assistants in that department. He has also reorganized the other departments, making in all Five distinct courses-the Classical, the Regular, ' School People will remember the arrange- ment of the State of New jersey's Educational Ex- hibit at the World's Fair, and how quickly came the suggestion of a new device for school use. r , ii ' ,Ei-T-L'-'f 'a w V TIT R .

When the Civil War burst upon us in 1861, the High School boys were not belated in rushing to the front. In addition to the hundreds of graduates who served in the ranks, unknown to fame, there were the following com- missioned officers: In the army-3 Assistant Adjutant- Generals, 1 Assistant Quartermaster, I Brigade Inspector, II Colonels, 7 Lieutenant-Colonels, 9 Majors, 9 Adjutants, I Sergeant-Major, 2 Chaplains, 37 Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons, I Quartermaster, 4 Hospital Stewards, 3 Pay- masters, 42 Captains, 69 Lieutenants, 3 Quartermaster- Sergeants, 18 Sergeants, 4 'Wfest Point Cadets.

At the Hrst engagement of any size during the war, at Big Bethel, one of our Alumni, Lieu- tenant Greble, was killed. When the Kearsarge met the Alabama, privateer, the machinery of the former was driven by Chief Engineer Cushman, a High School boy. In 1860, a class graduated from this school which, in 1863, had made a General in the army, George VV.

The students and Alumni of the Central High School extend their hearty congratulations to the Girls' Normal School upon attaining the long-sought-for goal, and sincerely trust, ere another year, the New Central High School, for which they have battled so long, will be as nearly completed as is theirs. Although 1848 is accepted as the clearly defined starting point in the history of the Normal School, its genesis was marked with the usual prehistoric period, when the educa- tional forces were crystallizing in a distinctive and detinite purpose. As far back as 1818 the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an act giving the Controllers of Public Schools in the city and county of Philadelphia power to establish a Model School in order to qualify teachers for the Sectional schools and for schools in other parts of the State. This was the initiative of all Legislative ehactments passed in recognition of the importance of professional training for teachers. Philadelphia, disposed to exercise her prerogative, estab- lished a Model School about the time the leaven of the Lan- casteriansystem was doing its most powerful work. Joseph Lancaster himself fathered the little school, which started out to make its fortune in a building still standing on Chester street, above Race. As the tide of time flowed on, the Model School drifted away from its anchorage, and about the year X836 the School of Practice virtually became a city grammar school. The Board of Controllers, inclined to let well enough alone, allowed the school to move along in the good old-fashioned b way until 1841, when one September day judge James J Asus:-Iso -G.,-... VJ.

Campbell, feeling that the time was at hand when young women should have a professional training, had the following resolution offered to the Board 2- ' Resolved, That a High School and a school for female teachers be established, to be conducted according to the plan herein annexed. A The Board unfortunately could not be made to see the feasibility of the plan, and for some years the proposition laid on the table. At the end of seven years' cogitation on the advantages of higher education for girls, in 1848 the Board converted the old Model School into a Normal School for the purpose of qualifying young ladies to become teach- ers. This, it is claimed, is the first Normal School not under State control established in any city of the United States. Incidentally, it is curious to note the contrast between the opening day of the Normal School, February 1, 1848, and the anniversary day, February 1, 1893. Under the first Principal, Dr. A. T. W. Wright, IO6 pupils began a two- years' course of study in mathematics, history, grammar, reading, drawing, writing and music. To-day I,85O scholars pursue a four-years' course, and instead of six assistants, fifty- four are associated with Principal George W. Fetter, under whose eflicientpharge the school has continued since 1865. During the interval of forty-five years 5,772 young women have graduated, 4,878 of whom have taught in the public schools. ' In 1853, for the first time in the history of the Normal School, the Board of Controllers was called upon to consider the problem of proper accommodations. The success of the new school had been immediate: The throng of applicants clamoring for admission steadily increased. To satisfy this demand a lot of ground on Sergeant street, between Ninth fl xv box 6 , 1? yew. xxcaeq Gblvf 6125 X, W5 flfor 0 ' GX' ' 15 49 'haf XKXQ, XS 2967 SC600! Thomson 51221.

The Model School was discontinued soon after and a School of Practice organized instead. In 1857 Philip A. Cregar became Principal, and in 1859 the School of Practice, in which were vested the essential advantages to be derived from the training at the institute, was abandoned. The Girls' Normal School then became the Girls' High School. ' The trend of popular education, however, demanded a course of higher development for those candidates who would discipline young minds, and in 1861 the name was again changed to the Girls' High and Normal School, with a course so modihed as to confine the professional training to the last year. It continued to be known by this title until 1868, when the word High was eliminated in favor of the Girls' Normal School. In the days of 754 the Sergeant street school seemed commodious enough to accommodate many generations to come, but the new school brought new hopes, increased zeal and greater success. For a second time the demand for ad- mission convinced the Board that a larger building was neces- sary, and the result was the present Normal School, dedicated October 30, I876. The beautiful structure of green stone, approached-by an imposing flight of steps, is one of the most familiar archi- tectural features of Philadelphia. In glancing back to the small antiquated brick building on Sergeant street it may be readily understood with what rejoicing the exodus was made to a new home. Of the past seventeen years since 1876, is written a story telling of the fulfilment of prophesies in younger years. It repeats, also, the same struggles of those earlier days, for The EQUITABLE TEMPERATURE of the Girls' Normal School is maintained by means of the JOHNSON HEAT REGULATING APPARATUS. This system has been adopted by all the princi- pal School Boards in the country.

BULLITT BUILDING The Elevator in the Girls' Normal School was erected by the above Company in ISQI, and for the third time in its history, the Normal School made an imperative and successful demand for a new school. . If progression has been the law governing the inner growth of the school since the days of joseph Lancaster, improvement is likewise illustrated in the buildings which have sheltered the institution at various times. The stately structure of gray stone which stands at the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets dwarnng the neighboring buildings-a landmark for blocks around-is the latest addition to the ornamental architecture of the city, the new Girls' Normal School of Philadelphia. It is now so near completion that an intelligent idea of its appearance when finished can be obtained, and from an inspection of the building as it now stands the observer comes to the conclusion that no city in America can boast a more elegant public educational home. The building extends from Spring Garden to Brandy- wine street, its east side extending along Thirteenth street. The Corinthian has been combined with the Renaissance in its architecture, and the effect is most pleasing. The build- ing is ofthe finest quality of Conshohocken or blue stone and Port Deposit granite. The construction of the building is peculiar, inasmuch as the interior arrangement is such as to form a court separated from the outer building by broad, lofty corridors running along three sides of the edifice. At the Spring Garden and Thirteenth streets corner of the building a handsome tower rises 144 feet from the curb line. In this tower will be placed the clock and bell which were in the old Spring Garden school. There will be two main entrances to the new building, one on Spring Garden, the other on Brandywine street, both opening on a hall I6 feet wide, which runs through the TELEPHONE 6340 W L.,92 Howl-:l.L,.JR.

The effect thus produced will be beautiful in the extreme. This room will be used only upon festive occasions. There are seven class rooms, located on the fourth floor -three on the Spring Garden street front, two on the Thir- teenth street wing, and two on the Brandywine street front. Upon each of the four floors a small room in the centre of the building, and just off from the main corridor, will be devoted to the use of the teachers, and will probably be used as lunch rooms by them. One of the features of the class rooms on the different floors is that they are built in suites, separated only by- immense patent folding doors, measuring I3 by 8 feet, and by simply opening these doors the two or three rooms, as the case may be, can be thrown into one. The building has sixteen skylights of malleable iron, with glazed M-inch hammered glass, and four light-wells, measuring IO by 2o feet. The ceilings are of steel, and the building is wellnigh ire-proof It is lighted throughout with both gas and electricity, has electric bells connected with each room, the sanitary arrangements are perfect, while the fire-escapes are large and numerous and have been -constructed after the most approved plans. Wheii completed the school-house will be as handsome as any in the country, and will have many conveniences in the way of modern equipments possessed by no other. The man who will be at the head of the school is Prof. George Howard Cliff a Philadelphian, a graduate of the -Central High School, and for some time Professor of English Literature at that institution. , ' Slate and Wood Nlantels Cruiser New York ESTABLISHED 1853 5 O J . 1 A Handsome Lithographic OSEPH S.
