T o thee, with halting Words of parting-cheer We dedicate this book Wherein is Writ What Willy When you are distant, bring us near. GEORGE C. D. ROGERS. 3 17 H ilntruhuriinn Mindful of the sensitiveness of human nature, and yet eager for all that is mirth-provoking and in the true spirit of humor, the RECORD Committee offers this volume as a memorial of IQOSJS career in old Central High, With the hope that its perusal will afford as much pleasure as has its preparati-on. The consummation of this project makes us realize that it is not all that everyone might wish, but We hope that it reflects the greatest measure of that mingled spirit of fun and serious- ness, of play and achievement that has characterized the four scholastic years of which these pages recount. 1 5' mane , F-F.

Such another crime would be as appalling as the bursting of the dammed Waters of the Schuylkill, and I am sure that there Would be some dams for another such burst of language. That our achievements have never been equaled goes Without saying, that our history should ever be repeated is precluded by a mere survey of the scintillating geniuses that compose this Wonderful class. But before proceeding it would be Well to state under what diiiiculties this Was produced. Even after it had passed the rigorous Russian-like censorship of Professor Ernest Lacy's pen, I was besieged by classmates who besought me with bribes and cajolery to suppress the story of their careers. Bobbie Adams came to me with voice lifted in pleading supplication, imploring me not to say anything about his oratorical accomplishments, because, as he said, as soon as it became noised about the country that he had Won a gold medal for his speech-making, he would be sure to be kidnapped by some patent medicine concern as a vendor of corn salve on the street corners. Then Elliott came to me and oifered various inducements if I would suppress the story of his admin- istration of the executive department. For said he, If Mayor Weaver should hear of my ability I would be forced to become the leader of the new party, and I Want to remain a Christian and a Sunday-school teacher. And so it Was all the Way through the class. But with an eye single to the truth and the welfare of the community I determined to expose this terrible story which for four years has been kept from the public. But at last the lid is ff to Ellie Qintnrg o and I am determined that I shall not speak easy of the matters or the persons vvith Whom I deal. A little less than four years ago, some thousand-odd youths, exhibiting Well-scrubbed faces that reflected not only their tremulous expectancy, but the polish of their perennial scrubbing, 60 iiocked to the vicinity of Broad and Green streets in search of the High School building. From a cursory glance at this mass of humanity one was reminded of that little book, Mrs, Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. The cabbages were there in plenty-the wigs were across the street. A phrenologist would have been in ecstasy. It was a rare exhibit. Upon the back of each cranium just where the vertebrae joins the skull there Was a pronounced bump. They were coming to have that bump removed. Don 't look for it because you haven't it unless you are a High School Freshman. It is peculiar to them. It signifies precociousness, coupled with ignorance, a gross disregard for the feelings of others and human rights, and in fact everything that is loathsome to humanity in general and to the Central High School Senior, in particular. They were simply intol- erable. But these youngsters, all unmindful of this, entered the school. Entered? No! That does not describe it. They butted in. XV e stayed a little while browsing in the pastures of knowl- edge until now in changed form we are butting out. But when we came in, what a lore of funny things we found. W'e were parcelled off in droves to meet their Warships, the Faculty. It was then that we first became acquainted with the Faculty jokers. They rushed upon us like street urchins upon the hoky-poky wagon on a hot summer day and at every opportunity unleashed their shafts of Wit pointed by frequent recourse to the joke book. They told funny stories that were hoary with age and yet we laughed. What else could we do? The prof who told the joke always laughed, and it behooved us to laugh with him. He who laughs last at prof 's joke is not the best laugher by a long sight. Dr. Christine told us how once upon a time he ate two apple pies and drank three quarts of milk at a sitting. This brought forth a round of applause, even though the feat was fifty-four years old. Kiesewetter, who saw his laurels as a gourmand in danger, attempted to equal the feat. The rigors of the Huttenlock cafe were as yet unknown to him, and he nearly died in attempting to surround three pies. The milk did not phase him. He was accustomed to that. It was his steady diet until he grew to manhood in our midst. ' If we might allude to the june acquaintance with the Faculty as the consomme, it was in 61 September that we relished the remainder of the feast of reason. With pride and satisfaction at having answered creditably the idiotic questions that are supposed to prove your fitness to enter the school, we reassembled in September to start out on the year's run. We were ruddy and healthy after a three months' vacation, and we gathered together to endure the year of torture. From the oldest member of the Faculty down through the Senior, junior and Sophomore classes, everyone took a hand, even to Sammy Dutton, the janitor, who denied us the privilege accorded the Seniors of walking through the halls with their hats on, and of littering up the front hall with their persons. It was like the new kid in the neighborhood. He has to take a licking from every kid in de gang before his status is fixed. In the words of Caesar, We came, we saw and we were amazed. Finally driven to desperation, we were forced to take shelter under the protecting wing of Mather Miller, who from time immemorial has acted as pap feeder and nurse extraordinary to the Freshman Class. It was in dreary 308 that we first learned that all Gaul is divided into three parts, and that you can decline quidam by saying qui, and then damrning the whole thing. He was the Worst offender against our sense of humor, and next to him came Harley and then Biff Lacy, whose physics hour taught us the tensile strength of wires and other metals. Some of the fellows, however, have long since forgotten this part of their physics, judging by their esti- mate of the tensile strength of prof's leg. A few of us learned the game of wire-pulling so early that Belknap is now the tallest member of the Faculty as the result of the efforts of Loewenstein, Norton, Scherman and a few others. It was while we were Freshmen that Professor Fox's Elysian dream of making the Central High School a military training school faded into remembrance. The familiar awkward squads in the courtyard, going' through the manual of exercises under his direction, dwindled to a corporal's guard and finally the little army was disbanded and the little band of future military geniuses dis- appeared into oblivion. The military spirit was strong, however, and instead of this, a light brigade, otherwise known as the pony troop was organized. Professor Fox, of course, refused to act as drill-master. Kid 62 Fegley was captain of the troop and Hughey Graham was iirst lieutenant, while the members were too numerous to mention. There was a blank file on the rear rank, as Professor Brookfield says. We Bled the ponies there. ' Having been in the school only a short time, we could not sink our Plebeian instincts suf- ficiently to forego our annual rush with the Sophs. This was only one of the many ways in which we have carved our names in the hall of forget-me-nots. The work was easy. The class formed an applauding audience, while Ewing, the ponderous one, who weighs four hundred and seventeen and one-half pounds, wearing his accustomed smile and Venus suit, like a twentieth century Ajax- he's not good looking enough to call him a Hercules-hurled his avoirdupois against the quaking Sophomores. His first attempt took the spirit out of our enemies. just as he reached his opponents he tripped over a Sunbeam and in falling, crushed sixteen Sophomores beneath him. Ably sup- ported by his own estimation of himself, he made two more charges at the conclusion of which our enemies retired from the field. Of course, next day, Dr. Thompson lectured to us upon the dignity of manhood-we knew we weren't in that category, so we didn't mind. It was one day late in May that D. Clarence Gibboney, Secretary of the Law and Order Society, who had come to the school to look in to The Mirror passed the door of 206 and heard Professor Willis snapping his ingers to call the class to order. Ever on the alert for crap shooters, Mr. Gib- boney entered to see if gambling was going on there. Professor Willis assured him that although he went through all the motions of a bone tosser, he really didn't twirl 'em. Since he has been teaching anatomy it is said that Dr. Craig handles the bones, but no one ever saw him putting up any money on 'em. Slowly the year of apprenticeship passed around. Notwithstanding the great popularity of pony riding and the increase in laundry bills for white cuffs upon which to write helpful memoranda our ranks were sadly decimated by our Freshman exams. There it was that many a star, with pros- pects of shining in the constellation of 190 5's bright orbit, sank into the oblivion and darkness that surrounds 1906. But a good percentage of us crept through. We were becoming real Naughty-livers. 63 The Sophomore year might truly be termed the transition period. The first six months we devoted to recuperating from the effects of our Freshman exams, the balance of the year we lived in joyful anticipation of the junior year and all it offers. We were between the Sylla of Freshman nothingness and the Charbydis of the upper classmen's intellect. It was then that the class orators discovered that they could inject superheated air into the atmosphere without danger of causing an explosion. The Sophomore-Freshman Literary Society was the agency, and Loewenstein, Rehfuss, Sender and others went into training there to succeed Professor Ernest Lacy as playwright and dramatic director for Francis Wilson, Robert Gillette and others, while a pitcher of Moxie stood ready at hand to quench the thirst of the orating infants. Whether or not Shakespeare was really the author of the great dramas accredited to him, and a number of other literary questions of equal import, were finally decided there in debate. The class began to sit up and take notice this year, for it presented the school With a statue of The Faunf' This was the first substantial ornament presented by either students or graduates to adorn the new building, but our example has since been followed by many others. Perhaps the greatest event of the year came in November, 1902, when strenuous Teddy Roosevelt-you all know he's President of the United States-kindly accepted our invitation to be present at the exercises incident to the dedication of the new building. We had all heard of his teeth and his fog-horn voice, but later events confirmed our opinion that no one, not even the Chief Executive of the nation, could equal KieseWetter's Dutch eloquence, or Sender's soulful soliloquies. The building was finally dedicated, thanks to us, the Faculty, and incidentally the President, whose speech aroused unbounded enthusiasm. Here are some of his epigrams: When you Hunk, Hunk hard. Never go into a fight-he meant an exam-unless your are Well mounted-on a pony. I am almost Reddy-t-Rorer when I think of the Haney-ous crime of cribbing. Be Wise, and if you don't know it, get back to the Woods. Don't dilly-Dolleyiover your. lessons. It's Harley fair to play Fox with your teachers. Holt fast to the manly principles of l1v1ng+and live the simple life. It may be a Schock to you to - 64 K know that race suicide is the bane of the nation. The man with a Lightfoot is better than he with a light finger. Howes it that gray hairs come with Long's study. At this point in his speech Baldwin's whistle blew the noon hour, and Schnaufer cried out, I move the meeting be adjourned. It's time to feed. The secret service men sized up the crowd, of which Buck was the center, and fearing anarchists. they hustled the President away into Snyder's observatory, where he saw stars. We don't wonder that they feared anarchists. Around Buck stood Chance, josselovitch, Sallom, Xvojczynski and a few others. They were bums, but not of the explosive kind. Before going, the President shook each member of Naughty-five by the hand, while a phonograph which he produced from his vest pocket exclaimed with precision and regularity Deligl1ted-delighted! He told us all to come to the White House to see him, but we decided that we would not go there until we went to take his place. It was early in our careers that we learned to be solicitous of our professors' welfare. We learned that Prof. Paul Renno Heyl, the Gatling-gun physicist, had been favored by Divine Providence, and that a small Heyl with a large howl and a propensity to raise I-I-1 had come to grace his domicile. We hated to think of the time that would be lost to science iflDr. Heyl were compelled to walk the floor at nights with the little one, so we advertised for a child's nurse. Italian girls, Swedes, Russians and dusky maids galore called at Broad and Green streets. We could not have them forego an interview with Papa Heyl, so we directed them to Room 217. Dr. Heyl declared vehemently that he would not relinquish his rights as pater familias to anyone. One day Dr. Carter told us that he was digging up a few facts on Geology. We hated to see him exhaust his strength in manual labor, so we advertised for one hundred laborers in ive morning papers. Something like four hundred eager Italians and Africans responded, willing to sacrifice themselves in behalf of science for it .50 per diem. After interviewing the laborers for nearly two hours and narrowly escaping with his life, Dr. Carter fied to the wilds of Arizona. The year passed rapidly, and again we were at the end of the scholastic year. More exams, more Hunks, and 'still a fewer number of us could call ourselves Juniors. 65 We returned in September of 1902 with a heart for any fate. We were getting accustomed to receiving any kind of a surprise without feeling in the least disconcerted. Dr. Spaeth called us men one day shortly after we returned. It was the truth, but it sounded strange in our ears, for we had been trying by various acts to conceal the fact. The short-trousered brigade had been reduced to a minimum, and Ewing and Sobernheimer and McDevitt began to justify their titles as the tailor-made men in the class by wearing vari-colored waistcoats. Baldi one day carried a cane to school with him simply to show his sporting blood. The Seniors came to us and consulted upon weighty matters of state, and we didn 't hesitate to state our views. Have you ever been in politics? Well, if you want to see the real thing, join any junior class. McDevitt thought that he would rather graduate with '05 than '04, so he dropped back into the class when We became Juniors. Speaking of Machiavelli, of Pitt, of Cardinal Richelieu, and Quay, why, they are only a cheap fifty-eighth variety compared with the political geniuses, stars of the first magnitude, that abound in 1905. In physics, like seeks like, that's why Elliott and McDevitt got together. Then they organized the Thirteen Club, which promptly constituted itself the oiiicers, Executive Committee and the Royal High Flush of the Class. They simply did things and before the class could recover, the trick was theirs. Elliott fell heir to the presidency, Bowen and Coulter were elected Secretaries, and Moore the Treasurer, while the balance of the club were put on the Executive Committee. Speaking of corporations and trusts, well, the class was just carried around in the club's vest pocket. We were all born equal, but not all of us were born equal to the occasion. The Thirteen Club Was, however. After training faithfully for three months under Professor Lacy 's direction, the real polished orators burst forth upon the public on April 27, when we held our junior oratorical contest. McDevitt spoke on Toussant L'Ouviture. No one knew the gentleman Who was supposed to have been some famous man in the West Indies. Late on the day of the contest, McCue discovered that Wendell Phillips had Written a most touching eulogy upon the gentleman, so McCue was bound and gagged and put in the cellar until after the contest, for fear he would let the cat out of the bag. But the 66 judges were more charmed with CofIee's rendition of a coon song than with the brogue of the Emerald Isle, and they gave the leather medal to him. ' On April 8 we made our debut into society at the Junior Promenade. Eddie Taxis did the thing properly. Everyone was there looking his very neatest, accompanied by the prettiest and most charming damsel of his acquaintance. So can you wonder the affair was a social success? It was While we were juniors that our representatives on the Conference Committee, which was com- posed of Faculty members and students, and Which proposed revisions in the regulations of the school, made a strenuous iight, with success, to secure for the students the privilege of leaving the school building at recess. Bonsal and Boilleau endangered the privilege for a time by spending their recess periods in the neighborhood of Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets, but when they were invited to become regular students at that institution they took the hint and ceased their flirtations. One day, late in the term, We were startled to learn that Jesse Pawling had decided to resign his position as sixty-seventh assistant instructor in the Art of Bomlastic Eloquence, of which he himself was a master, and accept a more lucrative position as animal trainer at the University of Pennsylvania. Poor Penn fellows, how we feel for them! We extend to them our sincerest sym- pathies in this hour of their anfliction. We feel that We have lost in jesse, one of those terrible human irritants Which, like the mosquito, comes and stays for a little While, leaving behind him the shrieks and imprecations of his victim. ' Then came the Senior elections. The machine won out, of course. Israel W. Durham, our peerless leader, alias George Elliott, Was elected President, while Mr. James P. McNichol, better known to his friends as Harry Sylvester McDevitt, became Editor-in-Chief of The M iwor. Sobern- heimer Was delegated to Wear the Laureate Wreath and grind out Acldisonian English as head of Belles Lettres of The M irror, While Buck Schnaufer was selected to get out the Sporting Edition. Who was to head the Sister College Department, you'1l ask? XVIIY that Beau Brummelmof I9O5,H Fred Baldi. How often since have we seen his manly form in faultless garb dispensing M vlfrrors at Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets. I have it upon reliable authority that 434 young ladies 67 purchased' Mirrors from him each month for the privilege of gazing for a single instant into his lustrous orbs. How enchanting! Operator, throw on the calcium light! Drewers, Beidler, Neely, Ehrlich, Bowen and Bob Adams were taken in to stir up as much trouble as possible, and in consequence The M iwor got out many excited editions. ' Many a time have I sat by the side of the Editor-in-Chief playing a stream of ice-water upon his fevered brain while he dashed off burning editorials upon the Memorial Library and what Dr. Christine has done to build it up. The addition of each volume was the theme of a brilliant editorial paragraph. One night he paused for a moment, and with pencil poised in air, sat absorbed in thought for two hours. Then he turned to me and said, in all seriousness, Do you really think she loves me? Soon june was upon us again. To pass the examinations entitling us to promotion to the Senior Class was like drawing Ewing through a knot-hole. But while the Faculty was busy, a lot of us slipped in the back door, and we became Seniors. W'ords failed to express the profs' chagrin so they sent over to Baldwin's and borrowed a trip-hammer so that the Faculty's anvil chorus might be properly supplemented by a bass instrument. VVhen we realized that we were Seniors the transformation was awful. Dr. Craig and Dr. Holt were called upon to treat a number of cases of Uenlargitis cranium, while steel caps were secured for Coyne, Fenninger, Parkinson, Rossheim, Bowen, Bradbury and others. Dr. O'Brien had to put Moore in a straight-jacket. He was found wandering through the Huttenlock cafe one day asking everyone to order him a 54 5 dinner. He said he wanted to celebrate. He never fully recovered from the attack, and the disease manifests itself now and again in the shape of dreams in which he attempts to prophesy the future of the members of the class. The school was startled one day when the newspapers printed a report to the effect that the Italian Maia had marked Fred Baldi as one of its victims. The M 'iwor room was fortified with Howitzers, and Bloch and Norton, as the giants of the class, were delegated as his bodyguard. The nearest approach to kidnapping that anyone could detect was when Kid Keinath attempted to take a nap in jimmy Moifatt's room. 68 ' The one thing that we will remember longest occurred in the Senior year. Dr. Hopper, at one time a college mate of Methuselah at Yale. and who helped George Washington cut down the cherry tree, but who is now teaching mathematics in our school, celebrated the semi-centennial of his connection with the Faculty. Dr. Hopper's career as a teacher stretches farther back than printed record and it is impossible for us to say just when he began. Suffice it to say that his pupils are scattered all over the world. During the celebration one old gray-haired man came to the school to see Dr. Hopper and congratulate him. Dr. Hopper is eighty-two years old, and his friend came up to him and exclaimed, as he placed a paternal hand upon his head, Hello, sonny, are you still teaching? Dr. Hopper boasts that he will be teaching mathematics when we are gray- headed. Although everyone is convinced that McDevitt will be the first of our class to be married, Sobernheimer had a narrow escape a few days prior to February 17, when we gave our Senior Play. VVhen it became noised abroad that the cast was rehearsing, the matinee girls deserted the theatres and Hooked to the rear entrance of Mercantile Hall to witness Soby depart afterthe afternoon rehearsal. Even Richard Mansfield failed in competition as a drawing card. Resplendent in pink spats, for which Soby has a decided leaning, he would emerge from the rear entrance and, protected by Hans Ehrlich, his side partner, would jauntily climb into his trap and dash off for Roxborough. The affair was a great success, much of which is due to the feminine friends from our Sister Colleges, who so kindly consented to assist with the production. Then, on March 9, the severest blow that Central High School has ever suffered was delivered, when the magnificent Observatory, located in the tower, was totally destroyed by fire, together with a number of valuable manuscripts and books belonging to Professor Snyder, the director. It was a severe blow for Dr. Carter, too, for he got beneath a bucket that was dropped through the roof by a fireman. It landed exactly upon the dome of his head, which, unprotected by the usual growth of hair, suffered severely. Profs and fellows who had aspired for years to become heroes got the chance of their life. One over-enthusiastic youth smashed the glass show-case containing specimens 69 of rocks, and was carrying armloads of the heavy quartz and granite to a place of safety when someone suggested that it Wouldn't burn and that water wouldn't hurt it. He was so disgusted with himself that he forgot to hand in his name when the hero list was being made up. Neely was one of the first to arrive in the building after the fire began, and he was in such a hurry to get into the thick of it that he tripped over his own feet and sat down in eight inches of water that covered the floor of the hallways on the first floor. Then, to make matters wetter, the hose on which he sat suddenly burst. Neely was impelled to rise. But the old High School spirit, which is irresistible when it is aroused, quickly asserted itself, and in a comparatively short time the damage was repaired, with the exception of the Observatory proper. Much to the disgust of everyone we got only one day off on account of it. But, seriously, the loss of the Observatory was regretted by no one more sincerely than by the Class of 190 5. It will be our lasting regret that this magnificent Observatory wasi destroyed during our Senior year. As the Senior Class that saw this department of the school's energies wiped out, we will not rest content until the Observatory has been replaced. As a final revenge upon the class, the orators secretly and in deep conspiracy with Professor Lacy, concocted the Senior Oratorical contest. How we suffered! Bob Adams was the dark horse, and after Bobbie Adams had given us instructions on how to run the country, the judges gave him the gold medal. It is said that the Mayor has called him into consultation on the problem of city government, but we cannot confirm this rumor. And now a brief review of the class' part in the school affairs may not be amiss. 1905 has been most prominent in athletics. She has seen a complete change in the athletic spirit of the school, she has seen the High School aspire and win a place in athletics which is com- parable with that of any high school in the country. She has seen the Crimson and Gold football team win the title of Intercity Interscholastic Champions in Football, by defeating the De Witt Clinton High School of New York. The men of our class who helped to place her in that position include Keinath, Schnaufer, Trefz, Ginsburg, Broadbelt and Root. For the past four years High 70 School has been interscholastic champions in basketball, and Kiefaber, Keinath, Chambers and Schnaufer of 190 5 helped them to win that place. On the cinder track, the track team under the captaincy of Elliott, of 1905, won the title of Middle States Champions and holders of the two-mile scholastic relay champions of America. The cross country team, of which Moore, of '05, was a member, was also a winner. In baseball, Drewes, Bates, Schnaufer and Keinath, of '05, have played on winning teams, while the crew, captained by Bradbury, has added trophies to those already possessed by the school. VVhat more could we have done without doing all? Then We began to count off the days until our final exams should arrive. VVhat a scurry to lift Prof. Rorer's algebra condition. At least one-third of the class were trying to shake off this horrible specter of failure. It haunted us in our dreams and in our waking hours, while McDevitt was found one day absently doing problems in algebra upon Elliott's shirt bosom. Elliott was so absorbed in thinking up a bluff to escape Dr. Harley's elective that he did not notice it. A Then before we knew it only a week remained. Everything went with a rush. Everyone was so absorbed in passing exams and in leg-pulling that they did not notice it when Moore squeezed the class to the extent of a few hundred dollars for class dues. N 0 sooner would Moore get through with a fellow than Sobernheimer would approach and demand money for the class banquet, then would come Buck Schnaufer with an appeal for coin for the class gown, while Kid Fegley and a host of others brought up the rear, each demanding money for something. One morning we awoke to ind that it was the last day of the regular sessions. The last time that we should be together in the assembly room as a class! But the day was a memorable one. It was also our farewell to Prof. Spaeth, who next year goes to Princeton University. As a token of appreciation, the students presented Dr. Spaeth with a little remembrance, and the emotion that he manifested truly reflected the feelings that were in our own hearts at the double parting. Then Dr. Thompson made one of his usually trite and appropriate speeches, in which he congratulated the class upon the pleasant relations that had existed between the Seniors and the Faculty. W'hen he had concluded he spoke the one word, Seniors. It was our signal to rise, and we passed out and into history, resigning our places to another plass. . And now it is time to say good-bye. It is hard to realize that 1905, as a class at Central High, must terminate, and that its members for four years so closely associated, must part, each to take his separate path through the held of life. These stanzas of the Rubiat of Omar Khayyarn are recalled: A Moment's Halt-a momentary taste Of Being from the Well amid the Waste- And lo! the phantom Caravan has reach'd The nothing it set out from-oh, make haste! We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go Round with the Sun-illumin'd Lantern held In Midnight by the Master of the Showg But helpless pieces of the Game he Plays Upon this chequer board of Nights and Days: Hither and thither moves, and checks, and slays, And one by one back in the closest lays. Let us then make haste-make haste to make history of another kind. And then When the Master lays his pawns back in the closet,1et there remain behind for each member of 1905 the record of life's game Well and nobly played, a game ,of achievement Without dishonor, of honor Without sacriiice of character, a life true to the ideals that We have been taught in old C.

Dear School, whose portals we shall pass to-day Upon a pilgrimage of grave import Into the larger life--thy memory Be with us alway. For the comradeship Of earnest souls who moved within thy walls These past four years, whose fellowship was sweet For stores of treasure-trove lain housed up Within thyself, which thou didst open wide, Bidding us freely enter and be one With Knowledge and with Power-for the seeds W'hich blossomed into Wisdom in the light Of thine eifulgent kindliness-for thoughts And lessons well befitting manly state, Strong, wise, and full of prudence, reaching deep, Touching our inmost fibre-for such gifts- Surely we bring thee offering of thanks. 74 But most we owe to thee, O master-mind That guided our weak steps upon the Way W'hereon we stumbled, witless in our youth- For the iron-worded counsel thou didst set Before us oftentime, that we might be Not pulpit-wise nor versed in lore of saints, But courteous and kind and chivalric To all in contact with us, holding Fame, Or search of it, a petty game of life. In his place put thyself -thy counsel ran, And simple justice was thy plea and law. Therefore it doth seem meet to hail thee Hero, Crown thee with praise, and throne thee as a King, That thou may'st reign within our hearts in days Far off from these, when school time is at end. But hearken, classmates! Crowned with the ivy leaves That poets love to bind upon their brows, And sceptered with the pen-ye've made me King That I may rule you with a rod of song. Clad in some singing robe invisible, Whose folds about me sweep in harmony, Before we fare abroad as pilgrims go I stand amongst you, for salute. And yet What kind of salutation shall it be With which I greet you in this parting hour? Shall it be joyous, calling back to mind Past days of victory on track or field, Platform or mimic stage-or shall it take T 011 of your hearts with tender memories? VVhat words better than silence? VVhat regret For those of us who've passed beyond the Gates Into the glorious City of the Deadg Better than silence? Words cannot measure griefs, Nor triumphs jubilant. Best are these passed With reverent head, as one who passes soft The House wherein some dear one lieth still. We part to-day. Think you how far we part! Each in his self-drawn circle goes his ways, Each shall pursue his own unbroken course, And like a knight, who putteth out to sea, Questing his 1ady's favor, each shall fly Some different banner at his cross-tree staii, To mark his occupation or his name. Yet in our hearts we bear one common love, And at our mastheads fly one common flag, Are fed by one same hope-that this our school May ever live and prosper, thrive and grow. Forth then, my comrades, as the knights of old Were wont to go, lifting within their hearts, The sacred chalice of the gallant vows They took upon them at the altar rails, Swearing to keep the faith, and live clean lives, To right all wrong, never to wrong the right, To be all courage, tenderness, and truth! So may we come to find the Grail at last. GEORGE C. D. Rooms qui, I, A, If 5-7 7... 3-1 L 4' ia, 1 'E --' Q n 77 7 fi tg?

HAT untold opportunities now present themselves to depict in glowing terms and gilded accents the characteristic traits and marvelous developments of this motley crowd, whose futures are about to be revealed! What unexpected attainments and vocations! VVhat C sad degeneration and frenzied prosperity! What strenuous activities and literary achieve- ments loom up before our prophetic gaze! And oh, alas! what physical 'decomposition and mental incapacitation our little bump of cogitation has experienced in mapping out the desti- nies of the High School's favored sons! Vkfliy couldn't they become considerate for a change and, with the possible exception of Deacon Mumford and one or two of the other more sanctimonious of us, take it into their heads to try the Osler cure a few years in advance of the three-score limit! just think of the joy they would experience in not having to put in an appearance to-day to learn their fates, and then, last but not least, what a cinch it would be to have a wholesale disposal, a kind of e pluribus unum prophecy for the whole gang! A11 intimate acquaintance with the majority of them would immediately suggest their fates and recommend handing them single-trip tickets, via the Subway, to station Hades, the ultimate destination and eternal habitation of the incorrigible unrighteous. But fortu- nately for my unsuspecting victims, the Guardian Angel of Fate has given them a few more years to carve their names in the Hall of Fame, so that without further ado, it falls to my lot to cast a horoscope into the impenetrable future and hand out the jobs to the future icemen, ash-cart drivers, and bum politicians. up Pk if ek :xc wk Dk ak ak 4. 78 One balmy Friday morning, just before exams, an ex-tinguished alumnus dropped in to pat Methuselah Hopper on the head and get off the usual bluff of calling us fellow students. Instead of administering the necessary fatherly admonition in the customary fashion, he waxed poetical and likened us unto a swarm of wogglebugs, swimming on the sea of life and tossed about on the angry billows. In the distance loomed the irregular outlines of the promised land, the happy haven of rest, Where we all hoped to wile away our summer vacation. The dashing waves lashed their fury about us and threatened to swallow us up, even as Jonah swallowed the whale. The tide-swept shore seemed to approach ever nearer, but our endurance had well-nigh reached its limit. Only the tireless floaters, those non-athletic, fun-despising greasy grinds, could hope to pass the mountainous breakers that beat their way into shore. What chance of surviving remained for the poor hard-working flunks! No more the refrain of that well-known chant, Come in! The water's great! Alas! for a ride on the water-wagon, to safely cross the bar! Why didn't I swap my pony for a submarine auto-car! Awakening to a full realization of the awful fate in store for me, an uncontrollable dizziness passed through my frenzied think-tank, my eyes stared with blank expression as the professors seemed to be chasing each other round the platform, and then everything became dark. I felt myself going Udown! down! down! where the Wiirz- berger flows. No stops were made in my continued descent despite my frantic efforts to swim doggie, tread water, and perform other aquatic maneuvers, until numbness of the senses prevented any further struggle, as I lapsed into a state of insensibility. Whether there is a hole in the bottom of the sea, or whether Father Neptune has a family of grown-up mermaids, I was unable to determine in my comatose state, but judging from the years that elapsed before my water-soaked carcass was miraculously recovered and resuscitated, I must have been a long time dead. In fact, when it comes to sleeping, Rip Van Winkle's snooze was a mere sermon nap compared to the subaqueous lethargy of your prophet, Ananias, jr. The story of my rescue after so many years had elapsed is as strange as it was fortunate. 79 A terrific detonation of thunder, not unlike the explosion of the U. G. I. gas lease, set the earth ajar, loosened my damp cadaver from its moorings, causing it to rise to the surface. Riding on the crest of the waves, the wind and tide carried it toward the beach of a well-known summer resort, patrolled by a life-saving crew. Soon observed by the eagle eyes of the champion Rescue League, a boat was immediately dispatched, and my apparently lifeless form was hauled aboard. After administering the usual restoratives and rough-housed on a barrel on the beach, the breath of life began to get in its good work again, and I was soon able to sit up and take notice again. I feared that I had acquired a bad case of water on the brain from being so long in soak, for when I finally opened my eyes and looked into the kind weatherbeaten face of the bewhiskered old salt who had fished me out, I was astonished beyond measure to discover that it was none other than my old friend Bradbury, captain of the crew. My feeble efforts to speak brought forth a protest from Brad, who realized my predicament and summoned his first mate, Bill Sauter, whom he quickly dispatched for a doctor. Bill soon returned with his medicine man, who bent over me with a professional air and a ve-dollar-a-visit swagger. Tickled by the fringes of his grizzly Van Dyke, I casually glanced at his rubicund face and recognized in that sympathetic Jenny, dear jenny expression, my jovial classmate and fellow Bachelor, Dr. Frederick Alfred Hoffman Oyama Rojestvensky Wiirzberger Conshohocken Sobernheimer, D.Ph., A.M., P.M., P.D.Q., X.Y.Z, etc. After swallowing a draught of Mum-ford's Extra Dry, I soon felt relieved, and with Fred's assistance was able to perambulate once more. Mystied as to my whereabouts, I gazed about me and was amazed to find myself in the midst of a magnificent summer resort. . The usual crowd of beach paraders with abbreviated bathing-less suits had collected by this time, so that it was with considerable difficulty that we were able to disentangle ourselves from the surging throng. Starting toward the spacious esplanade that paralleled the beach, we were soon interrupted by two reporters and a cartoonist on the staffs of the local newspapers. Presenting their buttinski cards, I read the following familiar names engraved in boldfaced type: 80 W. RODGERS NEELY, LONG DISTANCE CORREsPoNDENT, WEAKLY GAS-JET. I. D. E. A. ROSSHEIM, CALAMITY EDITOR, DAILY SAD TIMES. J. THINGENT BLOCH, OF-FIsH-AL CARTOONIST, KKFISHTOWN TOPICS.H After exchanging greetings and satisfying their curiosities that I was not a spook, Doc and I sauntered towards the Boardwalk to phone for a carriage. As we were about to climb up the steps, a heavy automobile came dashing up and a prosperous-looking individual wearing a monocle stepped out. Noticing my companion, he came over to shake paws, when Fred introduced me to Hans Ehrlich, the well-known corset king and head of the tight-laced trust that squeezes the people. After a few minutes' confab and renewal of old acquaintance, Hans insisted upon my taking lunch with him, so we started around in the machine for his summer villa. We were soon speeding up the avenue at a zo-mile clip, when a fruit-laden push-cart came bolting out of an alley and started directly across in front of us. A screeching honk-honk bellowed forth from Hans' tooter, followed by a crash and a sudden rise in fruit. Too startled to move, we sat still till the shower of strawberries, peaches, apples, etc., had subsided, and then quickly jumped out to investigate the damage. Calmly sitting by the wayside in a mixture of apple sauce, crushed strawberries and jarred peaches, sat the fruit-vender calmly munching a large, juicy orange. Rushing to his side to offer every possible assistance, we recognized in that peach-blown, juice- bespotted countenance the beaming face of Tubby Chambers. We profusely apologized-Afor the mishap, offered to make complete reparation and render any possible aid, but Tub iirmly spurned our offer, accepting only the orange-ade. As we were climbing back in the machine, Oiiicer Beck 81 appeared upon the scene and decided to make a haul. Starting across the street, he slipped on a couple of stray bananas, gave a sort of jiu jiutsu performance in the air, and incidentally squeezed a few lemons when he landed. Hans and I didn it wait for the second act of this special performance, but quickly made our exit and dashed up the avenue, not forgetting to toot a farewell salute to Beck. Our next experience was of a slightly different nature. The clang of a fire-engine decoyed us from the straight and narrow path to the scene of a mid-day conflagration on a side street. A large apartment house was completely enveloped in fiames, and the frantic inmates were hanging out the windows wildly calling for help, when the firemen arrived. Rushing toward the ladders to volunteer assistance, I bumped into a hatless, wild-eyed, hair-disheveled Indian, who appeared to be doing a war-dance around a fire-engine, and wildly gesticulating. I asked a fireman if he got 'em often, and learned that it was Fred Baldi, the owner of the hotel. Cheers near the opposite end of the hotel attracted my attention, and I arrived just in time to see brave Fireman Trefz coming down a ladder carrying Babe Peberdy in his arms. A startling yell caused the crowd to scatter just in time to avoid being hit by a human chunk of rubber, who struck the pavement with a thud and rebounded again to the thirteenth floor. This boomerang bouncer turned out to be Pud Ewing, salesman for a rubber company, who was rooming on the top floor, and cut off by the flames from every avenue of escape. He had sufiicient presence of mind to put on six pairs of rubber boots, one size over the other, and jumped for his life. He bounced back again when he struck, however, and kept bouncing up and down so continuously that it was feared the firemen would have to shoot him to keep him from starving to death. - Buffalo Pete, otherwise known as Tenderfoot jim Harshaw, a cowboy from R. R. Adams' Great and Only Circus, which was exhibiting in town, happened to be in the crowd, however, and seeing Pud's restless predicament, drew forth his lariat and lassoed him on the bounce. As the Ere was well under control by this time, we mosied back to the auto and managed to arrive at Hans' cottage without further interruption. My host had an appointment with Fegley, the family photographer, that afternoon, so after getting on the outside of a few lunch tablets, I 82 bade farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Ehrlich and the six little han Cdjs that were prolfered, and started toward the Boardwalk. A hansom airship happened to be passing, which I hailed, and told the cabby to fiy me to the R. R. Adams circus grounds. When I handed him my fare, I knew immediately from his fiighty manner that I was conversing with 190 5's high flyer, B1ondy Bonsal. Alighting in front of a pink lemonade stand, I stepped up to the counter, and was about to wet my whistle when Venus Mondelblott, the chief cook and bottlewasher, greeted me with that same old smile that won 't come off. I dodged the ticket-scalpers and arrived at the free preliminary performance in front of the main entrance just in time to hear the great R. R. himself introduce the world's famous muscle dancer, Willig-Nilly Woolcott. Attracted by the sylph-like figure and graceful maneuvers of this oriental Terpsichore, I evaded the main performance and followed the crowd into the side-show. Meandering around to have a look at the sights, I was agreeably surprised to find a few familiar faces. The champion fat man, Boileau, tipped the scales at 430 pounds, and because of his winning weighnwas ever the object of special attention. Perched in the corner of the missing-link cage was a triple-chinned specimen of humanity that bore a striking resemblance to Nose Lewis. The next exhibit was the Human Lunch Box and Pie Exterminator, Kiesewetter, who could digest anything from a prehistoric sam handwich to a petrified Nippur tablet. As I was about to leave the tent, a red-headed clown disguised as a fried egg came bouncing in the entrance, turning handsprings, and gave a clever imitation of a piece of ham in distress. I was really surprised to find Root acting in this breakfast-food capacity, and advised him to abandon the simple life and accept a more elevating position of lineman for a wireless telegraph company, or perhaps a deck-hand on an airship. Tiring of the jostling and confusion indulged in by the circus crowd, I hurriedly made for the exit, but just outside of the grounds ran square into a miniature one-ring circus in the shape of a Salvation Army band. Surprised at hearing the tune, Come Take a Ride in My Airship, rendered with a close harmony effect by such a sad-looking bunch, I paused long enough to hear a religious 83 parody written to this ancient tune, conducted by the leader, Captain Fenninger. Conspicuous among the warblers who had joined the zealous flock were Brothers Bates, Holt, Parkinson, Laird and Lincoln, While Deacon Sam Ginsburg was frantically endeavoring to beat his way heavenward with the assistance of a big bass drum. Circulating among the specked-taters, and distributing religious tracts, was the sporting editor of the 'War Cry, Clem Bowen, while Urb. Shay, commander-in-chief of the slum brigade, was enthusiastically discoursing on life among the hoipolloi and the peculiar story of his conversion. The solemnity of the occasion and the pathetic experiences of the Sta1yation Armyndampened my spirits to such a degree that I quietly withdrew to find a more cheerful occupation. A sight- seeing automobile with a load of excursionists stopped to allow several passengers to alight. I noticed a vacant seat beside McEwan, the chaulieur, and quickly clambered to occupy it. On the way to the heart of the city, Mac pointed out the palatial residences of some of the city's most prominent citizens. Helena, the summer villa of Mayor Elliott, was a stately looking mansion, located in the midst of a cluster of trees. Elliott, Mac informed me, had been the Prohibitionist candidate for Mayor, and had been elected to the oliice by an overwhelming plurality. His next door neighbor, Harry McDevitt, was judge of the Orphans Court, through whose efforts the ten-year marriage law had been repealed. Among the other notable residences were the homes of Herkness and Brooks, joint owners of the H. 8: B. Brewing Company. After leaving Brewery Hill, we were startled by the following yell, emanating from an approaching bus: Rah! Rah! Tinnamy! Rah! Rah! Tattamy! We're the girls from Miss Brown's Cademy. Rah! Rah! Rah! Skirts! Skirts! Skirts! S4 As they passed us, we recognized the champion girls' interacademic baseball team, With their able trainer and coach, Drewes, and Manager Kiefaber, both of High School fame. In the business section of the town, I recognized a number of familiar names, and learned considerable as to the whereabouts of the gang. Liveright's fire-sale clothing store was run on the installment plan, and green trading stamps were said to be given away with every pair of pants. Kugler's automat restaurant was the midnight rendezvous for the village muses, Tucker, Schafer, Goldsmith, Trainer, Norton and Spring Poet Rogers, Whose latest contribution in blankety- blank verse is entitled Spring Fever, or How I Learned to Muse. The first verse runs as follows: In the spring a languid feeling Seizes every youthful 'cussg' In the spring he hates the sight of books, But dearly loves to 'fuss.' To work he's too darn'd lazy, He would a pencil shove, That's why a young man's fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love. Sender was holding down the lucrative position of floor-Walker in the wig department of Rehfuss 8: Scherman 's department store. The automobile trip was brought to a terminus at the City Hall, where gang-leader McCue and his small fry of politicians hang forth. Policeman Sunny jim Horner, the idle of the force, directed me to the offices of City District Attorney Gorman, Solicitor for the Onion Traction and Rabbit Transit Companies, Owner and Editor of the W0rld's Record, Manager of the Boomerang Advertising Agency, President of the Quicksilver Bank, and prospective owner of. the Hoboken Hot Air Works. 85 I took an express elevator to his office on the forty-second floor, but his niblets was nowhere to be found. His chief clerk, Hauser, informed me that Gorman and the Ma Cyojre were attending the horse races at the Philly Track. As I re-entered the elevator, motorman Going- down Weigand greeted me with the same old familiar salutation, and without further ado shot the car to the ground Hoor like a streak of greased lightning. Of all the breathless, empty-stomach, loop-the-loop sensations, that ride was the limit! I staggered from the elevator like a toper who has had a drop too much, and had a ravenous hallucination that I hadn't eaten for a week. janitor Miller, who was dusting off a bust of Carry Nation, the city's water-wagon champion, noticed my sorry plight, and directed me to the lunch counter at the Walled-off Castoria Hotel. Mrs. Walled-off's cooking was to the Queen's taste, so that I didn't lose any time stocking my pantry With painless delicatessens. After Gormandizingn to my heart's content, my attack of blues had entirely disappeared, and I began to think once more that This old world we're livin' in Is pretty hard to beat, You get a thorn with every rose, But ain't the roses sweet? As darkness had by this time set in, I decided to spend the evening on the Boardwalk, which already sparkled with the brilliant electric illumination. Great throngs of pleasure-seekers paraded the esplanade and I followed the merry crowd toward the entrance to the New Old Mill. just as I was about to enter, a tap on the arm attracted my attention, and a half-apologetic, subdued Say, old man, you haven't got a quarter you can lend a fellow, have you? was the greeting of Buck Schnaufer. Bidding Buck and the quarter a fond and affectionate farewell, I turned to the New Old Mill ticket office, where I was confronted by Manager Yerger. Yerg climbed out of his stall and came round to inquire after my welfare. In the course of conversation, I learned of the surprising and original vocations that several of the fellows had taken up. ' 86 Pfizenmayer and Loewenstein, the Dutch comedians, are inflicting their original jokes QPD on the unsophisticated dupes, Who accidently stray into the Pandemonium Vaudeville Theatre. Phz springs the so-called Witticisms, while Dutch acts as the interpreter. Kid Keinath, Athletic Director of Vassar-line College, has been delivering a series of lectures at the Ladies' HY. M. C. A. on Physical Torture and its benefits. ' Dr. McMahon, professor of Italiano, Hispaniola, und High and LOW Dutch, is now instructing his pet languages in the Deaf and Dumb Department of Idleberg University. Florist Graham is the owner of a large conservatory, and devotes most of his time to taming Wild-flowers and grafting blossoms on century plants. Soady is a Sunday-school teacher and English instructor in Broadbelt's parrot store, and is frequently called upon to chew Soady-crackers for sick poll-parrots. After leaving Yerger, I strolled leisurely along the Boardwalk, occasionally stopping to notice some object of special interest. Pattering along the Walk in the opposite direction, completely absorbed in thought, came the diminutive figure of joe Faltermayer, with Hitner, as usual, a few paces in the rear. I yelled at Hit, but he Woulcln't dare look for fear of losing joe in the shuffle. Considerably fatigued after my long day's exertions, I wandered toward the end of a long ocean pier, With the hope of finding a cool restingplace for my Weary bones. A select open-air concert Was in progress near the end of the pier, and as I Was passing the music platform, my attention was drawn to the peculiar antics of the orchestra leader, Who appeared to be throwing a fit. I stood Watching his calisthenic gesticulations until the selection was finished. When he turned to bow to the audience, imagine my surprise at recognizing Paderewski Coyne. While third-base Albrecht, who manipulated the big bass vile, was distributing sheets for the next selection, I made for a stray rocking-chair overlooking the end of the pier. -. The enchanting music, the tranquil ocean, the sentimental moonlight, the cooling breezes, all proved an irresistible balm to my jaded senses and soon transported my inanimate being into the land of Morpheus. 87 How long I may have slumbered, or what further disclosures of the Class' future might have been revealed by the Goddess of Fate, I know not, as my wandering spirit was prematurely recalled from the happy land of dreams to the unromantic present. I felt a violent shaking as though I was again in the tidal wave's grasp. A strong arm seized me by the back of the neck and hauled me to my feet. Opening my eyes, I found myself once more in the same old Assembly Hall, gazing into the crabbed face of the janitor, who handed me a summons to appear before the Discipline Committee for cutting the hrst two hours of recitations. As the brief glimpse obtained of the impenetrable future was so suddenly and unceremoni- ously terminated, never again to be revealed, your Prophet begs to take French leave of the mysterious unknown and transfers his powers of divination to the guardian of the Ages, Old Father Time. ' May the hand of Fate be lenient To each deserving son, Who starts to-day on life's rough way, His daily course to run. Though joy or sorrow be his lot, Though fame or fortune thrive, May he e'er be true and loyal to The Class of Nineteen-give.

UST at the time when it had nearly been perfected, ire on March 9 totally destroyed the magnificent Philadelphia Observatory, located in the tower of.the school building, and P R55 which was regarded as one of the complete and eflicient stat1onS for ObSGfV3'E10I1 211Cl 5'53'ffXfV instruction located in the United States. . ll9 The blaze, which originated from defective electric wiring, started in the ceiling of the fourth floor, just under the southwest corner of the first floor of the tower. The presence of the wooden construction material fed the Hames, and in a short time the entire tower was ablaze, while the fire spread to the south side of the fourth floor, damaging the rooms there. Before the Hames were gotten under control the valuable library and all of the valuable instruments located in the tower, a description of which, by Professor Snyder, the Director of the Observatory, is appended, were damaged beyond hope of repair. The loss of the Observatory was keenly regretted by the Class of 1905, which was deprived of the pleasure and instruction to be obtained there. At the same time the class felt the deepest sympathy for Dr. Snyder in the great personal loss that he suffered by the fire. The conduct of the students who happened to be in the school at the time, and who risked their lives to save school property from the fire and water, will long be remembered.

The Philadelphia Observatory was designed as an Astrophysical Observatory, serving the scientific interests both of the City and of the Institution with which it is associated. As such, it was planned that certain work, more directly associated with the teaching, with the popular demon- strations, and with solar observations, should be done at this City Station in the Building of the Central High School, and it was also planned to establish a Suburban Station particularly for Celestial Photography and there erect the star cameras purchased by the City, which, fortunately, were uninjured by the recent fire. It was intended to open every element of the Observatory to the public. The fact that the Observatory was the only one in Eastern Pennsylvania devoting itself to the modem Astrophysical A . . g . . stronomy, made its equipment of special interest to the people generally The interest of the Class, which so eagerly and yet for so brief a time enjo ed the instruction . . . , 1 Y and inspiration afforded by the line equipment, demands that some brief description of the unspeak- bl l t h S h a e oss o t e c ool, to the City, and to Science should appear in this RECORD. 122 THE OBSERVATORY TOWER SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRE STARTED P11010 C0111.'esjv flhf' Phila. P1255 TI-IE LARGE TELESCOPE. The lifteen-inch telescope was provided both with a visual and with a photographic objective made by the famous Brashear. With its excellent mounting, it was, beyond doubt, the iinest instrument of its size in the world. The telescope had been designed with great attention to its optical and mechanical details. Among its attachments there were, besides a valuable set of eye pieces, a large Micrometer, a Spectroscope, a Photometer, and a line Spectroheliograph. The Spectroheliograph, an instrument for photographing the Sun in a single wave length of color, was the principal feature that warranted the use of the large telescope at the City Station. Eminent astronomers, such as Hale and Wadsworth, had prepared designs and given great encourage- ment to the Work. The Spectroheliograph was at the time of the lire, nearly ready for continuous use in the photography of the Sun. On the day of the fire, the photographic objective was inserted and the large Spectroscope was attached to the telescope for the purpose of photographing a special region of the solar spectrum in which newly discovered changes occur during the sun spot period. The photograph of the large telescope shows the Spectroheliograph attached and its top removed so as to show the arrangement of the inner optical parts. THE CLocK RooM. This room contained a valuable Riefler Sidereal Clock and a Howard Mean Time Clock, a chronograph and other allied appliances. THE TRANSIT RooM. A line four-inch transit instrument had been constructed from the old transit instrument made by Ertel, and to this instrument the writer had attached an appliance called a transiter for eliminating the personal equation m transit observations. After determining the latitude and longitude ot this Station and developing the special method of observation mentioned, it was intended to use this instrument at a suburban station. 124 THE RowLAND CoNcAvE GRATING. A Rowland Concave Grating, reflecting the light and splitting it up into all its .spectral colors, was one of the priceless treasures of the Observatory. This instrument, hlling an entire room on the seventh floor of the tower, is shown in the photograph. Toward the problem of mounting and use of this particular grating, Professor Henry A. Rowland, of the johns Hopkins University, had bestowed special council, and this had added peculiar interest to the instrument. For six months and ,more the writer had devoted almost continuous effort toward its final erection and adjustment, and at the hour of the fire, he was there adding an attachment when summoned by the alarm. The Grating had, in a preliminary test, shown some of the most delicate lines photographed by Rowland with a somewhat larger instrument. In this same room were collected many appliances for demonstrating the spectra of metals and other phenomena of light. THE ASTRONOMICAL LIBRARY. One of the greatest losses to the Observatory was that of its splendid Library, in which had been gathered complete sets of nearly all the main astronomical journals of the world. It was an indispensable element in the work of the Observatory, and its numerous voli mes in all the modern languages gave ready access to the world's astronomical literature. The associated Reading Room of the Library received the current journals on Astronomy, Astrophysics, and related branches of investigation. A Mechanical Laboratory permitted immediate repair of instruments, and a Photographic Laboratory gave facilities for developing the different classes of negatives incidental to the work of the Observatory. THE STUDENTS, SPECTROSCOPIC LABoRAToRY. Q A characteristic feature of the Observatory was the Students' Spectroscopic Laboratory. This was supplied with a number of small spectroscopes for the use of students in studying the 126 chief peculiarities ol metallic and gaseous spectra and for their comparison with the solar spectrum. TlllS1Jl2lIlOl-QIlliN'L'lll1lg the astrouoinical instruction by uniting with it laboratory work in spectroscopy las been adopted hy other schools of the country, and has everywhere made the laboratory Work continuous. On cloudy days spectroscopic work is in order, while on clear days and nights astronom- ical and celestial spectroscopic work can he demonstrated. Modern astrononiy has developed so extensively in the spectroscopic direction that it is found essential to liave students know spectra and spectroscopic work from personal experience, and it is gratifying to state that the students never failed to manifest a deep interest in the Work of this Laboratory.

S a httle token of good fellowship now that he s gomg to a higher realm of effort-not heaven, but Princeton the Chaucer Class gave Dr I Duncan Spaeth an invitation to an informal lg ,L 1. httle feat on the evening of May 2 5. No, it was not at the Automat, nor at Child's, either. Wilma Well, it was at Boothby'sg if you must know. And we had a bully time. You know if you can get the Doctor far enough away from Room 209 for him to forget the con- sonant shift for a few moments, he becomes one of the boys-for he's at jolly good fellow. You can see this was the first elective he ever had, the only elective he ever had, and the last elective he ever will have in Central High. All year we had gloried in a feast of reason and a How of soul, but by the end of the term we wanted something more substantial. And we got it- from Adams in the highest and Ewing in the fattest, to Norton in the lowest, we gorged one and all. The toasts followed, and, after a jolly old time, we parted-probably the most striking elective the school has known. So good-bye to all of you. This is the last year we'll have Dr. Spaeth, but we'll hear from afar the rumblings as he tussles with the Tiger across the river. It 's our last year, too, but perhaps twenty years hence, you'll recognize a famous name or two, when you turn back to this little list: SCI-IERMAN SOBERNHEIMER BOILEAU HAUSER WOOLCOOT EWING SENDER MILLER NORTON PEDCOCK ADAMS Glhaurrr iEI2rtiuv PM THE MIRROR ESTABLISHED 1886.

Acting upon this assumption we are forced to believe that the 1905 Mirror was of no account whatever, for this year com- pleted the twenty-fifth volume of that illustrious paper. Q-'isp' To this illustrious staff belongs the honor of having the least number of meetings, the greatest number of disputes and the greatest number of uninvited visitors to its sacred room. Early in the term Elliott took up his headquarters there, and despite persuasions, abuse and hints as broad as the Atlantic, he refused to take his baggage elsewhere. The elections were held early in the junior year and the staff remained intact until after the results of the exams that were begun on May 31, 1904, and concluded in the following September. Then it was found that Tom Richter had forsaken us for 1906, and that I. C. Lehr had decided to assume a more business-like career than that of Assistant Business Manager of The M vlwor. How- ard Drewes was elected to the Class and School vacancy while Bowen was engaged to chase the illusive advertising. Before the opening of school in September the first meeting of the new staff was held. After Gorman had assailed with us a mass of figures and estimates on printing, etc., Hans Ehrlich moved that The Mirror be replete with new innovations and then followed this up with a motion to adjourn. Then began the difficult task of getting out the September number. Sobernheimer, of course, came in late, but, as it was Gorman's story he was excused. The Class and School matter was abundant, but Beidler forgot altogether about his Alumni Notes. Buck Schnaufer wanted more time and Big Bill Neely complained that he had received no exchanges. After much cutting and rewriting most of the material was fit for the printer. Thereupon began Mac'S lessons in correcting and Frank's in making-up. The 'drst number was a day late. Gorman said waiting for McDevitt's editorials and Mac said waiting for Frank's story. 140 As usual the September number was widely and not unwisely criticised, butthe staff lived through the fusilade and proceeded to get out the remaining numbers. Things went smoothly until November, when The Mirror Stat? was the supplement. The loss on sales was so great that Ehrlich Wanted to be adjudged a bankrupt. ' For one thing the 1905 staff will be remembered. Harmony prevailed between the business and the literary department, much to the beneiit of the paper. Schnaufer handed the Athletic Department with ability and a good judgment that was the subject of favorable comment, not only in the school, but abroad, wherever the paper circulated. He was ever ready to uphold the school in discussion, while his reports were thorough and active. Vlfhat Baldi lacked in ability as editor of the Sister Colleges Department, and that was little, he made up with that charm of personality and grace of manner that made him welcome among our sister colleges where his duties called him. To the efforts of Ehrlich is due the financial success of The M iwor, a work in which he was ably assisted by Bob Adams and Clem Bowen. Nee1y's department was good because it improved constantly. Not to speak of Gorman in this connection would -be unjust. Only those who have been ably assisted by him can appreciate his worth. His untiring energy, his unceasing eHorts and his valuable ideas have aided greatly in raising The M 'mfor to the level it has attained this year. Though short in stature, he is mighty in power. And now in turning over The Mirror to the Class of 1906 we wish them prosperity, hoping that they will cariy it forward through the first year of another quarter century of success, makmg it even better than 190 5-if that be possible. 141 with E2arn11 Marley at Hauling Zllnrge IME, tide and the choo-choo cars Wait for no man-not even Deacon Harley, and in consequence those members of the Senior Class who dearly love CPD history answered ,N to the roll call for the 9.41 express-stopping at every cow-path and telegraph pole- 'tvq J for Valley Forge, on the morning of May 11, A.D., etc., etc. At precisely 9.41 o'clock, mfimbile diem! the train arrived at Spring Garden Street Station and on the invitation of the conductor most of the crowd got a-board-the rest got rails. Things went smoothly until the train arrived at Manayunk, when it was forced to stop and clean the mud from the tracks and, incidentally, to take on Son Baldi. After the train started, the conductor insisted upon placing Baldi's lunch box in the baggage room, at the same time calling attention to the rule stating: The passage-way must not be obstructed. The multitudewas again annoyed when the same conductor Cfortunately Baldi did not hit himj shouted, Norristown next ! Several gentlemen made a frantic dash for the door. Looking at it from an ethical standpoint, probably a love of home had something to do with it. Well we arrived at Valley Forge. In the midst of our inspection of Washington's Headquarters, Rogers announced that he had completed a new spring poem. Everyone fied to the intrenchments and prepared to defend themselves. Fort Huntingdon was finally taken. The Deacon gave us the alternative of walking a couple of miles to see the monument or listening to a lecture on the American Revolution-so we walked. Wert, Baldi, Sobernheimer, and a few other thirsty ones forgot that they were members of the party and went back to the hotel. The rest marched on over a road beautifully covered with dust and sun-rays. Coming to a sign we read: Washington Springs. Not knowing what time the performance occurred we decided not to wait. Dividing into two parties, one-half played ball, while the remainder went back to the hotel to help the Deacon eat lunch. We all assembled later, however, and the oratorical powers of Adams were brought to bear upon the Deacon to induce him to accept a token in remembrance of our historical explorations. Classes will come and go, perhaps to Valley Forge-but in the distant future many an old man will tell his grandchildren about the time when 'Deacon' and I went to Valley Forge -and those old men are now the young men of the Class of 1905, who enjoyed the trip with Deacon to the fullest extent. ' Svnninr 1512133 N elite assemblage indeed was that gathered to witness the Senior Play, Love in Harness, on February 1 7, 190 5, and our class actors were so inspired by the pretty girls and Stately Seniors in the audience, that they quite surpassed themselves. kt! ' But go with us behind the scenes, we pray, and see just how it was that our tre- mendous success was achieved. In the first place, we owe our hearty thanks to Prof. Ernest Lacy, who not only selected the cast from a lot of green actors after long and arduous trials, but who also coached the cast. Then, again, we have to thank the young ladies who so kindly took part in our wonderful farce, and that their names are not in the Hall of Fame is due to the fact that the janitor of that institution must have overlooked them. l We vividly remember the day when we iirst met the young ladies. Sid Loewenstein was so bashful that he held on to Bobbie Adam's coat-tail when introduced, and in speaking of it afterward he said that all he remembered seeing was several pretty maidens smile, and all that he heard was the chattering of his teeth. Moore, the society man, gave his high-toned grin and familiar Delighted, I'm sure as he was ushered in, and showed that he knows how to behave under iire. Our business manager, the honorable Hans Ehrlich, excited a great deal of comment among the ladies on account of the breadth of his understanding Che wore the largest shoe obtainablel, and it was said that after the play he also wore the largest hat obtainable, but that is getting ahead of our story. As soon as the Christmas holidays were over, we started in with the strenuous rehearsals, led by our beloved Professor Ernie. At iirst his jokes were of a surprisingly good quality, but as time wore on, they began to get worse, and rumor had it that he had given up The M iwor and had subscribed to The London Punch. Then Sid Loewenstein stepped in. As soon as a joke was cracked, the rehearsal stoppeduntil Sid explained to everyone's satisfaction just where the point 145 came in. Some days only a few jokes were attempted, but in spite of this the rehearsals lasted sometimes until six o'clock. As the seventeenth of February drew near, everyone keyed himself for the play. Almost every student in the class invited his sister, or his chum's sister, or, in fact, any one else's sister, and the lunch counter in the basement and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company did very little business, indeed, the week before the show came off. There was a hush as the curtain went up for the first act, and before it was over, the audience was highly pleased. When the second act ended, everyone was supremely happy and spoke with sparkling eyes of the wonderful acting. When the final curtain on the third act was rung down, however, every person in Mercantile Hall was hysterically delighted, and on this account the dance after the play was an event long to be remembered. So you see that the 1905 play was the best ever given. a t .1 T21 .. ,V FS 146 44 X 'X i 3 1 5 I .sawn -- 'C , I. ,i ff - I -1 . j Y , I X I li . ., . ., K rl L x, -. xl-'I . :AT- x Q may 3k 9 ix I9 N 'L X K-L In ' , ga- nuufvf' , ,- THE LION TAMER 511 Qllvmuriam EUGENE WEST MANNING, A.M., PH.D.

Twice since we became a class have members of 1905 been called upon to exhibit their ability in this direction, not to mention the minor aiairs and club dances that were given by 'o5. ' We started out bravely on April 8, 1904, to demonstrate to all that have gone before us, and more particularly to those who are to come after us that we could engineer something in the way of the light fantastic. Eddie Taxis, who has since forsaken us for 1906, was selected to man- age the junior Prom. It was everything that could be desired-a success, socially and financially. There we made the first plunge. We really got into the swim when the Senior year came around. The first affair of the season was The Mirror dance, given on December 9, in Lulu Temple. The affair is most fittingly described in The M iwor which, in rather airy fashion, says: There was a score of numbers on the programme and to the tuneful, dreamy music that accompanied each one at least two hundred pairs of feet glided gracefully in rhythmic step. A late luna was being chased from its zenith and down the other side of the sky When the last stragglers emerged to catch a glimpse of the Man in the Moon, as he gazed with a sidelong glance of disapproval at the ,unseemliness of the hour. The Le Bon Ton, Bachelors and Commercial Clubs also gave dances during the year that were voted decided successes. But the climax of our affairs came on May 5, when we gave the Graduation Dance at the Roosevelt. Elliott looked the class over for a fitting chairman of the committee and towering above all was Fred Baldi, Slow in thought, slow in deed, but fast in the hearts .of the ladies. So Freddie did it as only Freddie can. The floor was not crowded. Oh, no! It was only a mob. But every one enjoyed it, notwithstanding the loss of many French heels and torn gowns: Those who assisted Freddie as his ,associates on the committee were: Fred Sobernheimer, Clarence W Clark Norm Moore, Marsh Coyne, Sid Loewenstein, Horace Boileau, Harry McDevitt, James A., Ewing and William P. Hitner. If nothing else, 1905 made a hit socially. 151 Svninr Qbratnriral Glnntnnt .Assembly Hall, April BE. IHU4 Presiding ogicef, JOHN L. KINSEY judges JOHN M.

For years it has been the 'custom of the two factions of the Faculty to hold these little bouts, but particular interest centered in this contest as it was to be the deciding game, each side having won six out of the twelve games played. When the Benedicts came on the field at three 0'clock, led by Qaptain Holt, the famous Yale player, the grandstands gave a mighty shout and many a fair maiden's heart went out to the wearers of the football togs. They were a husky lot, the line averaging over two hundred pounds, but notwithstanding their weight it was seen that the married squad could well cover their punts with the fleet ends, Schock and Holt. A few minutes afterward the junior team trotted on the gridiron. There was considerable speculation as to who would go in at quarter for the Benedicts, but this was quieted when it was seen that Sorrel Top Rorer, the lightning calculator and mathematical prestidigitateur, was in the pivotal position. The teams as they lined up against each other were: Bachelors Benedficts Fox. ........ left end ..... .SCHOCK RENNINGER . left tackle. . . . ..HowEs MoFFA'r'r. . . . left guard. . . . . . . .HOPPER GRAHAM .... center. ...... . .HARLEY NUSBAUM . . . right guard. .. . . . . . .SNYDER Woons ......

Howes, who has consistently and conscientiously kicked for everything the school does not possess in the way of athletics, did the punting. Promptly at 3.20 Umpire Sam Dutton blew his whistle and with a mighty heave, Howes sent a spiral that fell into Long's arms on the five-yard line. Before he could finish reading the French novel that he was perusing, the Bene- d.ict's left end came up at a walk and Schocked him so severely that he fumbled the ball. Falter- mayer, however, did not falter but promptly fell on the ball. Time was taken out to allow Carter to comb his hair. The Benedicts, who got the ball on downs, were penalized twenty yards because Snyder insisted upon explaining the higher mathe- matical theory of kinetic rotation to the umpire. The ball changed hands ondowns and it was put in play by the Bachelors with a line plunge by Long. Advancing with most graceful step to receive the ball from the quarterback, he was about to proceed when Patten caught him with his hypnotic glance and sat upon him. When he got out of the scrimmage he looked crestfallen. A surgeon found that he was suiering from a fractured disposition, a badly wrenched temper and an abnormal enlargement of the cranium. He stayed in the game, however. A guardsback executed by Moffatt and Nusbaum was used to send the ball ,through Carter but he stood like the rock of ages and the Bachelors failed to gain. The Benedicts held a consultation and Brookfield advocated a charge with fixed bayonets, but it was decided that it would not be possible, even with this, to puncture the reserve of the unmar- ried members of the Faculty. Through the charity of the umpire, who had a wholesome respect for the players on both sides, the halves, which were originally fixed at thirty-ive minutes were reduced to Qfive minutes each. The first period ended without any scoring. A I 157 SECOND HALF. After a generous use of rejuvenating potions, including rootbeer, lemonade, Moxie and raspberryade, like mother used to make, the play Was resumed. ' Parry kicked off to midfield and Holt justified his cognomen by retaining the ball. Patten made ten yards by asking Woods to kindly go back to the tall timbers until he could pass through right tackle. Brookfield executed a right Wheel and right oblique which netted ten more. At this point a discussion arose over the rules. E. Lacy could not refrain from making a speech, and so Umpire Dutton disqualified him for gross insubordination. The team was greatly weakened by his loss-in forensic ability at least. After an exchange of punts and compliments time was called. Thus it was that the game Was undecided, and before the teams left the field they solemnly resolved to play off the championship next year. 158 Uhr Qlnmmvrrial Svrrtiun I-IE graduates of the Department of Commerce are modest, even if We do say it ourselves. But even our retiring dispositions cannot deter us from confirming a long current rumor to the effect that 190 5 is the most famous section that Was ever graduated. L -I 5 'Q ' Look for a moment at our record-in Athletics we have men Who have helped to make the Crimson and Gold famous on the football gridiron, the baseball held, the cinder path, in bas4 ketball and on the water. They are: Keinath, Kiefaber,Schnaufer, Root,Trefz, Moore and Chambers. In oratory, Mumford, Neely and MacMahon were among the bright and shining lights, on The Mirror staff, Gorman, Neely and Schnaufer distinguished themselves, while our actors, Moore and Pfizenmayer are, We believe, future Henry Irvings. We did little until the junior year, when a quick transformation occurred. We changed from careless Sophomores to dignified upper classmen in a breath, as it Were. Then the seed of class politics began to sprout. Anxious groups at lunch time spoke in hushed tones of Graft, Wish I was on the Pin Committee, and No Wonder, he's in the gang. When the Senior Class elections came, Moore, Gorman, Schnaufer and Graff were found to be on the Executive Committee from E. In The Mirror elections Gorman, Neely and Schnaufer were the successful Commercial candidates. After the vacation of 1904, most of us had become Seniors, and We shed crocodile tears for those Whom Fate--and the Faculty Cpractically the samej-had decreed should remain behind. Some of the fellows, however, could not shake off their old habits in spite of the loftiness of their positions. Goldsmith and Shay still hurried down to Keith's, or some other theater as soon as school was dismissed, and Lehr could not resist his old-time inclination to go to Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets every afternoon-to see the beautiful Mint building. Gossip has it that he also came to school with her in the morning, but We will not judge him too severely. 161 We began our tour of the important manufacturing and industrial plants of the city, on December 15, 1904, by visiting the Atlantic Reining Works, at Point Breeze. Being an oil works things ran smoothly until somebody hurt the point of his nose. One of the wisest remarked that instead of being Point Breeze it should be called Point Bruise. The Harrison Chemical Works was taken in on December 22, although some of the laziest remained behind, fearing a reaction if they visited a chemical works. Stetson's Hat Factory Was visited on February 2, 1905, and when we were through some felt tired and others felt hats. The Bell Telephone Works were honored by the presence of Section E on March 9. Kiefaber, Slotter and Chambers tried hard to ring in with the phone belles and missed the wiry manager's explanations. It was this same afternoon that the ire broke out in the observatory, and thus we were prevented from becoming Ere heroes. On April 3, we went to the F oederer Tanning Works for a tour of inspection, and on May Io, the Baldwin Locomotive Works were visited. At the latter place the noise was so loud that it was necessary to put your mouth to your ear to hear yourself talk. This was easy for Harris, how- ever. In the classroom many things happened which are worthy of note. Barlow and Caldwell were the Section Sunday-school boys, Caldwell, because of his intention of becoming a minister, and Barlow, because it was said he accompanied a minister's daughter to the Senior Play. Deacon Mumford and Venus Kugler, the inseparable Paschalville twins early adopted the motto, United we pass, divided we Hunk. Harris, Haupt and Hammerschlag will ever be remembered for their delightful sparring and wrestling exhibitions, while Mayhew claims first honor as the quiet boy. With the advent of spring, Goldsmith, Tucker, Trainer and Pfizenrnayer were stricken with seasonable fever, which manifested itself in a poetical way. Sonnets and beautiful love poems escaped from their pens until there was a popular uproar which stopped their efforts to the great relief of the suffering section. Benner, Slotter and Shay were the great admirers of the fair sex and were in strong contrast 162 ' with Wright, the Tioga bachelor. Schnaufer's chief accomplishment was in appeasing his capacious appetite. And then as a parting impression we secured a number of offices in the elections for Class Day oiiicers. Gorman was made Historian and Moore the Class Prophet, while Artie Kiefaber was the class choice for Cane Man. There is little danger that we shall forget the favorite sayings of our professors, such as Dr. Herrick's You fellows will have to close up on that matter pretty soon, Professor Long's, It's scandalous, don't you know, boys, a recitation like that, Professor Campbell's, You haven't the slightest chance of graduating unlesslf' and Professor Haussmann's, Boys, if you can't keep quiet, I vill give you ein test. It is with regret that this story of our High School career must be written. It means the dissolution of a group of fellows that, in the four years they have been together, have learned to know and appreciate each other. In saying Au Revoir, it is hoped that a perusal of this, our little diary, will serve to keep green for all time the memory of 'o5's career in C. H.

Hardly . e ,N had the callowness of our Freshman youth been dissipated before the incomparable Edward began to deliver twenty-minute stump speeches every few days, in favor of the scientinc life. We were so frightened over the prospect of tking Greek culture and Greek thought into our already classically-overburdened minds, that we welcomed with vivid enthusiasm a three years' course of scientific marvels-Jesse Pawling thrown in free of charge. Upon our attainment'to the honor of Sophomorism, a new and benign influence made itself conspicuous--Dr. Heyl's smile. He offered himself a martyr to science, in the vain endeavor to teach us the intricate mysteries of crystalography. About the second half of this year the class leaders began to come to the front. McDevitt, Elliott and Ehrlich formed a combine, the object of which was to cheat Hopper out of as many ducks as they deserved and put E's in their places. Norton had a flight of poetical fancy, and wrote two Methodist hymns, which were finally accepted by his publisher as part payment for Albert's first book, Wi1es of Wicked Wil1ies, being a chronicle of a High School Freshman. Several other aspirants for literary fame felt at this time the necessity of mounting the foothills of Parnassus. juicy Rogers wrote a ghost story for The M 'irror-we have it on good authority he is still haunted by it. Coming up Broad street one afternoon about 2 p. m., a pedestrian was stopped by a howling mob. He politely inquired what the trouble was, and was told that Max Stroube had spoken to one of his pupils on the street! The fame of silent Max had penetrated even to the citizen's dwelling, and he wended his way thoughtlessly homeward. In the junior year many tried to be Demosthenes, but only McDevitt had money enough to bribe the judges into recognizing his oratorical powers. Rehfuss, Elliott and Rogers were too 164 poor, and the rest hadn't Mac's nerve. Baldi was prominent at the Junior Prom, where' he danced with One and sat out a few dances with the same person. Junior exams were finally passed, and many gaps in the routes were disclosed, but with a trusty leader like our Captain, Roy Rittersbach, and an end man like Schaelfer, and a vaudeville show like Minnie Woolcott, together with a few other celebrities, including McCue, Butt-in Rehfuss, Chance, Bonsal and Boileau, we successfully started the Senior year rolling. The war of the poets was an exciting contest, and the bitter denunciations between Little Albert and Big juicy were watched by the Whole class with unholy glee. juicy won out, and magnanimously offered to let Norton write the preface to his new Book of Verses-but the referee stepped. in and the fight was called off. McDevitt, heavily steeped in conditions and overwork OD, tried for the Commence- ment speakers, and was accepted. We hope Mac will not break down. Though he changed to the Classical, we have a warm spot for him all right, O. K. , Some of us, like Strathman and Rabbit Yerger, have no cares or worries, but others, among whom Liveright stands foremost, went about school with frowns of unerasable despair written upon their foreheads. However, here we all are Seniors and graduates of the glorious and only Class of 1905, and in closing this little bit of our history, we wish to add: It was the Latin-Scientific Sections which had the most fun and did the most work. Give 'em a long ooh rah, with a will! And so that you don't forget it, one on top of that for dear old High. i May her colors touch the sky!

There it was we wrestled with those hieroglyphics, while in the foreground is a figure exclaiming with precision and regularity to McDevitt, our erstwhile student, The only way to do it is to do it. ' Then in the dreaminess of the darkened room I see in my. mind's eye Professor Hill, and I recall what he did at college and how wrong it is to devote one's life to the pursuit of the Almighty Dollar, and I see Dutch Loewenstein dodging a recitation in Latin by giving a lengthy dissertation upon the Narrowmindedness of Horace. And then visions of Dr. Holt's hour looms up before me. How we prevented Soady from cracking nuts with a femur, and how Kiesewetter was restrained from devouring the legs of a frog that had been brought in as a specimen. And then comes Lacy's hour. Has ever a man graduated from High and been taught by our famous playwright and sceneshifter who has not been told to put his brains down and to work the lower jaw. And then, of course, the hour is interrupted while Hertz grasps the end of the wire and pulls it and Hitner meanders into the room and presents a note, which reads: Hitner was detained by me. -Signed Jos. F. And in the pleasantC?j recollections of Snyder's hour, I feel the air fairly tingle with such explosions as Snyderial astronomy is a reverse process of the agglomeration of the luminescence of the larger masses.

Seeing the trophy case, the question arises: VVhat have the Classicals done for 190 5? The name of Elliott immediately proposes itself: President, track athlete, etc., and then McDevitt, Editor-in-Chief of The Mirror, hot-house politician, etc., and several other members of the staif 3 Parkinson, vice-president and several members of the Executive Committee, then, who had the largest number of representatives in the Oratorical contests? The Classicals. Who had half of the Commencement speakers? The Classicals. Who Won the Intersection bowling championship? The Classicals.

H. S. in his Freshmen year was Hassler, who played end on the football team. The Sophomore year saw 190 5 represented on all teams. Hassler, Johnston, Frank and Thomas Richter and Pollock all played football, while Keinath proved to be the mainstay of the basketball team. Frank Richter managed the baseball team, which included the following 'o 5 men: Knight, Keinath and Humphreys. The 190 5 men on the track team included: Elliott, the Richter Brothers, and Frank Sommer, who became a shot-putter as well as an oarsman. The adoption of Artie Kiefaber and Buck Schnaufer into 190 5 occurred at the beginning of the junior year. The football team included the following '05 men: Kid Keinath, Buck Schnaufer, Jack Knight, Humphreys, Taxis, Ginsburg, Root and Roney. Captain Kiefaber, Manager Schnaufer, Keinath and Weniger proved to be the mainstay of the basketball team. Seldom has Central High School been represented by a more successful baseball team than that of 1904, which won the interscholastic championship of the city, and which was captained by jack Knight. Among the 1905 men on the team were Drewes, Bates and Pelly, the star pitchers, Schnaufer and Keinath. During the junior year Root and Bradbury rowed, while Elliott and Moore ran on the track. During the Senior year certain 190 5 men were kept out of athletics owing to pressfof studies, nevertheless 190 5 was always largely represented. Ginsburg, Root, Trefz, Schnaufer and Keinath all played on the intercity champion football eleven. The opening of the basketball season saw ,171 Coach Brown place upon the floor a team of players all of whom were in some Way connected with 1905, consisting of Captain Keinath, Manager Kiefaber, Schnaufer and Chambers, of 1905, and Tod -Eberle, who deserted 1905 in the Freshman year. This team easily won the interscholastic championship, and defeated De Witt Clinton, of New York. The graduation of this group will weaken basketball more than any other sport. The baseball team, which followed the examples of the football and basketball teams, by defeating De Witt Clinton, of New York, included Bates, Drewes, Schnaufer and Keinath, of 1905. Captain Elliott and Moore represented 1905 on the track, and Captain Bradbury on the crew. The athletes, therefore, in departing from the school, for which they have in one or more ways fought, can but feel, together with the natural sorrow of leaving, a certain pleasure incurred by having represented Central High School during a period when the star of her supremacy was rapidly upon the ascendency overlooking a future replete with encouraging prospects. . ,, ..

The success in New York -was the conclusion of a season b C t 1 H' h resplendent with victories won on a schedule perhaps the hardest ever played y a en ra ig School team. H For years past the High School team has triumphed over local schools until the title of Scho- lastic Champions became almost a certainty. In pursuance with a new policy in the athletic manage- ment of the school, the De Witt game, the first game to be played between the two schools, was scheduled, and the victory has resulted in placing Central High School in the front rank as an insti- tution where scholastic attainments and proficiency in sports go hand-in-hand. Of the nine games played, all resulted in victories with the exception of that with the Haver- ford 'Grammar School. As an aftermath of this defeat there was considerable public discussion, in which High School took no part until forced to make reply to disparaging remarks-given public circulation in the' journal of the Harverford School. Early in the game several High School players were disqualified and this iniiuenced in no small degree the ultimate result of the game. To Mr. James H. Moffatt, who has so successfully coached the team during the past four seasons, should fall a goodly amount of credit for the successes attained by the team. Although burdened by school duties as a member of the Faculty, he devoted attention and untiring energy to make the team a winning one. That the team responded so readily to his instructions was a true appreciation of the esteem in which he is held, not only in the classroom, but on the gridiron for his fairness and uprightness.

Germantown Academy who 433' carried off first honors sustained only one defeat, and that at the hands of Central High School. A disappointing defeat at the hands of Episcopal Academy practically spoilt C. H. S.'s chance of winning the cup. The team also lacked success in the outside games, being defeated by Hill School, West Chester Normal, Penn Freshmen and Penn Charter, but on the other hand, the Crimson and Gold nine defeated the Princeton Freshmen and De Witt Clinton High School, of New York. The fact that the team was for a long time without the right to use Tabor Field for practice, was one of the causes of the poor showing of the early part of the season.

The team was composed mostly of- old and experienced players and this, combined with excellent team work, secured the cup for Central High. Fourteen league games were played. In the games with schools outside the league, the Crimson and Gold quintette sustained two defeats, the ,Williamson Trade School and the Williamsport High School both triumphing over High School 's five. . The most notable victory of the season Was that over the De Witt Clinton High School, of New York, which was played in this city and which was the first contest of its kind .between the two schools. Among the other schools which fell a victim to the clever passing and goal throwing of the wearers of the Crimson and Gold were: The George School, Lawrenceville Academy, West Chester Normal School and the Pine Grove High School. i - Mr. E.

'fl' Al! if... l ,.-'f A R2 5 if 0 T up HE Track Team of this year, though failing to win first place in all the events in which it was entered, easily took first place as the best balanced team High School ever turned out. It was the first time that the sprinters were not compelled to help out in other events besides the sprints, and the first time that an entry list showed Central High School men entered among the hammer throwers. This was indeed a step forward. Despite the poorest facilities for training, which at times were none at all, the track team did not once lower its colors to any Philadelphia school, and not once during the entire season to any public school of the country, when competing in an open meet. The only two schools who com- pelled the High School Tracks Team to take second place, were the teams of Lawrenceville and Mercersburg, schools having tracks and training grounds of their own. The team took third to these ' ' 191'3 - - ' two teams at Princeton Interscholastics and Middle States Championships, but at the latter the two-mile relay team defended successfully their title of National Champions. In the dual meet With Lawrenceville We lost, in the dual meet with Penn Charter We Won. At Tome Institute Meet, which is really the Championship of the South, the team Won first place, and at the Atlantic Inter- scholastic championships on Franklin Field it came oi with the honors. Thus four championship banners were brought to the school during the season, the largest number in the history of track athletics in the Central High School.

Ehrlich received first prize, principally because of his capacity for liquids other than our famous Schuylkill. Boilleau and Sobernheirner ran a dead heat for second place. Who is the laziest mart in the class? A Kiefaber pulled this, with Miller and Hancock close up at the finish. Who is your favorite actor?

H No one had the nerve to run with McDevitt. He wore his red vest and his captivating smile, and at the finish was awarded all three places. Baldi, Bowen and Moore got cold feet. What is your favorite magazine? The Mirror, hands down. Someone had the nerve to remark that this reflected credit on 1905, but as he failed to sign his name, he is still at large. Who is the most handsome? ' -Q Baldi, Fegley, Fenninger and Brooks bought the most votes, while Gorman was mentioned as the cutest. 201 Schembs Illlnrizt anh Bnnratur Flowers for all occasions artistically' arranged 629 North 17th St., Philadelphia Both Phones J.

Woolcott was awarded ten places in this event, and each voter sent in a subscription toward a statue of her royal highness, to be sent to the Academy as a rival of our friend Venus. What is your favorite style of beauty? Brunette seemed to be the choice, though the blonde held its own till toward the end, closely followed by the girl with the auburn hair. Who is the cleverest joker in the F aculty? 'Fessor Smyth was the choice, the reason being that he told them with the straightest face. 'Fessor Willis took second, because he was the picture of mirth when he told 'em. Who is the class goat? ' I Chance came to the front, this time pushed hard by Norton and Josselevitch. Who thinks he has a good voice? Schnaufer had made the air around The Mirror hideous so often, while singingf?J through his nasal appendage, that he had this race all by himself. Who is the biggest blujfer? Coyne succeeded in bluiiing all other contestants out of the race, with the exception of Harris, Ginsburg and Root, who came in a bunch at his heels. Who is the biggest eater? I -Q Schnaufer, Ewing and Kiesewetter started, but Ewing was handicapped by his Weight, and Kiesewetter stopped to laugh, so Schnaufer came in first and won the Hog. 203 Who is the most versatile man? Elliott polled the most votes for this, with our dramatic friend, Bob Adams, and the literary molecule, Gorman, running hard all the Way, and close up at the finish. Who is the most humorous? Bob Adams again came to the front, with Farrell, Pnzenmayer and Coyne bringing up the rear. The last three claimed a foul because they had to stop and laugh at one of Bob 's jokes. Who is the most pious? Bates and Fenninger ran a dead heat, while someone mentioned Ehrlich for a jest. So long as it was jest for fun, the judges allowed this to stand. Who thinks he is? Norton led all the way. He tried to beg oh' on the excuse that mamma would scold him, but he did not have enough Weight with the judges. Baldi was mentioned as secretary of a Sim- day School, but the blow was so great that judges retired for a recess. Who's the biggest leg-puller? This, too, seemed McDevitt's strong point. Coyne disputed for a time, but when 'Fessor Ernest Lacy exhibited his leg he had to give Way to Mac. Rogers, McCue and Bruce also were Well up toward the front. Who is the greasiest grind? Hertz only had to Walk to Win this, but McMahon-and M. Ginsburg came up strong at the finish.

T Chance had an easy thing of this contest, so no one else would take a chance on it. Who is the underrated man? 4 These were so numerous that it was hard to decide, but the consensus of opinion seemed to be that I Was. . - What is your favorite feminine name? The Greek students, it seemed, ran this race, for Helen proved to be most popular. The others follow in the order of their popularity: Mae, Blanche, Ethel, Eda and Marion. Someone mentioned Bridget, but it was ignored. What is the dryest hour on the roster? Most seemed to think the electives of Willis and Harley, because they had to work so hard to End something to do. 'Fessor Gray's lecture and Ernest Lacy's were also mentioned. Who is the ladies' man of the class? Shay took the money here, but Gorman ,and Sobernheimer gave him a hard run all the way. What are your political sentiments? The majority exclaimed Down with the gang and no gas lease! A few who didn't sign their names claimed to be Prohibitionists, while three voted polygamy and one monotony. What is your favorite study? Very few had the nerve to think about this. German, Literature and Latin led. Some thought learning how to get the most with least elfort was their favorite. Algebra had a good lead, but was accompanied by so many question-marks that the judges had to throw it out. 206 . What would be your adwfceito F reshmen? The majority advised Freshmen to work hard all the way and Enish strong. Some of the more impudent of the class advised them to keep a good stable. It is rumored that Herkness started this because his father runs a horse bazaar. Some of the cynics advised the Fresh to quit before they start. . Who is lhe politician of the class? McDevitt had a good lead in this, and Enished well ahead of the rest. Some thought Corcoran ought to be mentioned, because he intended joining the police force, while some mentioned the fact that McCue, Kiefaber and Moore thought t.hey'd like to be, but lost their nerve at the crisis. ' With how many girls do you correspond? ' Some few had the courage to say one, while the majority said two during the winter, and failed to mention the summer counts. As for the others, the judges were lost counting them even in their sleep. Do you smoke? I 7' not, 'why not? The majority said yesg one answered, Like a chimney. Of those who didn't, some said because mamma might detect the odorg others, because Dr. Thompson so strenuously objected. Sessler claimed he had enough in one at the University reception, when it was all up with him. ' H awe you ever been 'in love? The majority had some childish memory of the word. A few whose names mighfbe guessed from a perusal of these statistics were so deep in, that they could only grunt an affirmative. A vote of sympathy was extended by the judges to these unfortunates. 207 w ,a otrell 81 Leonard Inter-Collegiate Bureau and Registry of Academic Costumes D. E.

The majority had to acknowledge the crime, while a few said they had misused it. Fegley and Baldi said No, but the odor of the stable was so strong that even the judges smiled. One youth has his stable so well trained that he is seeking a job on a vaudeville circuit, while one claimed he rode an elephant through. Were you ever conditioned? The greater number, of course, never had, as 1905 is a bright class, you know. Some unlucky mortals said every year. A few said they'd tell on one condition, but failed to name the condition. They are still at large. Why is 1905 the greatest ever? The answers to this were varied. One bright youth claimed Because it was the latest out. Another because it came through without a scrap with the Faculty. Some said because it had the most brilliant history, but these were mostly the ire heroes, who Were thinking of the great ire at the school in March. What have been your greatest achievements during the year? The greatest achievement to most seemed to be passing algebra. McDevitt wanted to wait till the exams were over, but pushed hard for a questiong he said it was keeping on the right side of the Faculty. Some said fooling the Discipline Committee while others said it was keeping clear of Dr. Christine. Who is the most overworked man? Elliott and Gorman ran a dead heat in this contest, with Keinath and Bob Adams well to the front at the finish. Some of those with an ironical turn of mind put down Shay and Herkness, while Kiefaber and Neely were caught red-handedctrying to buy out a whole section on the issue. A 209 Who 'ls the 'gnost tailor-made man? McEwan and Ewing had a good start in this, but Sobernheimer passed them toward the hnish, pulling Gorman in second. A Who has the best physical development? Charlie Keinath was the unanimous choice for this, and it iserumored that he has accepted a position with McFadden to pose for his physical culture magazine, while the manufacturers of breakfast foods are hot on his trail. Who 'is the best all-around athlete? Again Charlie came to the fore, and outdistanced all rivals, as he Well deserved to do. Kiefaber and Schnaufer hung on for the first half of the race, but the pace Was too hot, and they were compelled to give up. Who is the greatest fusser? While Boilleau and Shay were doing the Alphonse and Gaston act on this, Bonsal -stepped into first place, and when the others arrived and got West on Bonsal he was seated at piano playing A Bit o' Blarney. Who tries to be? Sobernheimer Won this hands down, While Moore tried hard for first place, but had to be content in tying for second place with Schnaufer. Who is the best uatured? Corcoran, Fenninger, Shay, Bob Adams and Elliott came down the stretch holding hands. 210 ' Ov Who is the grouchtest?

He was closely pushed by Lewis and Ammerman, who tied for second place. Who is the brightest? 1 Fenninger was the choice on this, with Gorman, Bob Adams and Elliott close behind. It was stated, in most cases, that this did not mean who stood first in his lessons, but the fellow as a whole. Gorman was given Hrst place 'for brightest face and a request sent in for the brand of soap he used. P who thinks he is-fe ' Kugler and Hertz ran together nearly all the way, but Hertz managed to tempt Kugler by giving him a cent. who is me hot-an bird? .A Chance distanced all rivals. In fact he seemed so hot that no one had the courage to venture near him but Root and Schnaufer. Who thinks he is? . No one received a vote but Ernest Lacy. 211 Who 'is the best teacher? 4 Dr. Keller and 'Fessor Berger ran a dead heat for first, with 'Fessors Smyth, Hausman, Mitchell and Herrick Well bunched at the finish. 'Fessor Wise tried to slip in, but the crowd got Wise. who time-S he me ' 'Eessor Ernest Lacy again carried oil the palm, but 'Fessor Rorer disputed the decision, and they are still arguing. i What fellow is 'most fuafih? McDevitt proved too much for the others. Some said his name Was the cause, While the most . audacious claimed it Was because he used The M fiwor most. Coyne and Moore also ran, but Mac so far outclassed them that We only mention their names. Who is the most optimistic? It Was generally thought that We all were pretty much so, but the decision iinally Went to juicy Rogers, and honorable mention to Hammerschlag. Who is the cheerfulest liar? Coyne, Wlight and Harshavv put up a great light, but as they are still trying to overdo each other by telling the lishiest story, the decision is reserved. Who is the luckiest? ' Gorman ran a strong race, and after a good iight iinished ahead of Hughie Graham and Ham- ilton. Someone said Chance Was luckiest because he had been allowed to live so long. 212 Xxx N 1 .x- X it e l l. Who is thh Bible student? Fenninger was lirst choice, with Bates and Ed.

Elliott carried off the honors here, with Gorman, McDevitt and Keinath running hard at the finishq Moore and Kiefaber offered to run if they were given a handicap, but the judges refused, and their names were scratched. Who has done the least? y First place was conceded to the Manual Bunch, with no other competitors at the start. H ave you ever kissed a girl? I f not, why not? The majority said yes, at spin the plate, etc. Some were backward about the question, while others said it is None of your business, and even stronger, but we knew what that meant, and allowed it to stand. 213 The Name of I ..0 Sfands for efveryl Photographs thing 'BEST in and 71 :matures S T U D I 0 S llthf and E Streets, Washington.
