One color dyes the autumn leaves The damp cold ground receives; And the other with its spotless glow Lies co-mingled in the pure, unspotted snow. Chorus. 1914! These thine emblems We shall guard with every breath; 1914! We thy children Shall be loyal unto death. So here’s a toast, to the mighty host Of our teachers and our friends in Chester High; And we pray success to C. 11. S. And may her fair, beloved name ne’er die. But as the swift years come and go Her fame may greater grow. Till she may bless with all her might The colors of Maroon and spotless White. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN.

What a splendid assemblage of boys and girls, especially girls, that nearer, clearer, dearer heaven of stars. But I must not dwell too long upon this gentle theme; for it is a subject where, like a babbling brook, 1 could “run on forever. These scholastic genii of stellar qualifications were not in school long before they began to make their presence known. As soon as foot- ball season made its appearance, the '14 boys showed themselves to be born lovers of the old pig-skin. In one of tin most gruelling contests in the history of football, these progenies of the gridiron put a crimp in the tail of Nineteen Thirteen by swamping them to the tunc of ‘21-0. This was only practice to our boys, however, who repeated the process of a runaway victory on Nineteen Twelve. Feeling that the rules of etiquette pleaded for a slight recognition in Sara Riley. Score tan Ferdinand Nyembtz, Treasurer seniority of age. we spared the senior class the humiliation of defeat. Soon basket ball season came, and Nineteen Thirteen was anxious to avenge her defeat in this new line of athletics; but the contest that ensued was not a game; it was a tragedy. To our rivals it was a case of non veni. non vidi, non vici, or the Latin equivalent of hard luck. The game finished with the score 23-11 in our favor. Ye gods, what martyrdom ! Besides com- pleting our baseball season creditably, we also enjoyed the distinction of being the only fresh- man class with members that had earned posi- tions on the first baseball, basket ball and foot- ball teams. Our next achievement lay in the conducting of the Flag Day exercises. The program was splendidly arranged, and the selections deliv- ered in that eloquent manner which character- izes the oratorical abilities of the (’lass of Nine- teen Fourteen. But summer was destined to end the first year of our high school career. It brought va- CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 15 cation, and lo! all that remains of the freshman year is memory. September, 1911, saw Fourteen back, strong in number and in spirit. Our strength was shown by our unusually large representation on the football team. No man on the team played any better game than the Fourteen boys. For several months the class quietly continued its work, although numerous individuals per- sisted in trying to wear out the carpet in the principal’s office. But it is a true saying that the devil finds mischief for idle hands to do. A class cannot be expected to do nothing but study and attend games. Those on the teams work off the superfluous energy, but the others! There will be an outburst somewhere; so when Nine- teen Twelve erected and trimmed a Christmas tree, the boys of ’14 noticed that the customary numerals were conspicuous by their absence. By clever manipulation—the details of which are not even yet understood by some—a glor- iously impressive “14” was placed on the top- most branch. What a scene the next morning! The president of the senior class and the mem- bers of the committee who had trimmed the tree became colorless or flaming with anger, ac- cording to their respective natures. They banged at the numerals, but they stuck to the top. They searched for a ladder—in vain. By the greatest imaginable effort on the part of these dignified seniors, the numerals fell. A few saw tin funny side of this prank, for, after all. it was not performed by the sophs in the spirit that the seniors thought. How- ever. many lost their dignity in a most sur- prising manner. Who ever saw the good seniors of a respectable high school engaged in hazing? It must be confessed that one does not do this in polite society, yet the seniors swooped down stairs in a body, seized those whom they thought were ring-leaders, and placed one ’14 lad under the shower bath. It may be said in passing that this lad and many others of ’14 have made bet- ter use of this shower in athletic activities than Twelve or any other class has done. When all the rest of the school failed to as- sume the responsibility of supplying Chester with entertainments of literary value. 1914 took upon itself the task of bringing Mr. Marshall Darrach to this city. On the evenings of March 7. 14. 21. 1912. Mr. Darrach read “Twelfth Night,” “Macbeth” and “Merchant of Venice” lx fore large audiences. We cleared over three hundred and sixty dollars on this series of re- citals and placed statuary and pictures in the building, among the latter being the copy of “The Bargello.” “IVnn’s Vision” and “Rouen Cathedral.” The ’14 girls took an active interest in all the activities of the Girls’ A. A., which was orga- nized that year. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 16 The finest Peace Day program ever presented lx fore the school was rendered by this class. No wonder the faculty said “There is good ma- terial in that class.” and 1912 looked on with amazement and even respect. The term ended with good feeling on all sides. Our first act upon our return to the High School in the fall of 1912 was to hold a meeting for the election of class officers for the ensuing year. Clinton Stewart was elected president; Marjorie Black, vice president; Ralph Penning- ton, treasurer; and Elizabeth Reinhard. secre- tary. The next step was to gain a monopoly of positions on the football team, and with such ’14 men as Birtwell. Cochran. Cramp. Hewes, Robinson and Sweney. tin Chester High School enjoyed a very successful season. The Public Debate now made its inevitable appearance, but a little “if” stood between us and victory. Of coarse! we really won. but by some ingenious method of reversing the order of things, the judges rendered the decision in favor of our opponents. But we more than retrieved this defeat in basket ball. The contest could hardly be called a game; it was more like a tragedy; for when 1914 wiped the floor with the poor seniors, tin latter demonstrated their efficiency as mops, brooms, dust brushes and vacuum cleaners. The game ended with the score 26-17. In March the class once more presented Mr. Darrach to the Chester public. The audiences were completely swayed by his interpretations of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Julius Ca sar” and “The Tempest.” Spring brought baseball with all its glory, and Nineteen Fourteen won an undisputed in- ter-class championship. The junior middles were tin only ones able to put up a somewhat animated game, and they would have had splen- did prospects of success if an express wagon had been used to assist their bush league pitcher in putting the ball over the plate. The recital, however, was the crowning glory of our senior middle year; the grand finale to three long years of splendid work. It ushered in the close of the school term, which ended in a joyous class picnic, which will always be re- membered; for the recollection of those happy days that are no mem will earn from us “the passing tribute e f a sigh.” The autumn of 1913 found the largest senior class in the history of the school back from its summer activities and energetic to assume the eluties of the senior year. We started unusually well. We elected a student council and Ralph Pennington, presi- dent of the class. The council was something entirely new to this school and at first it work- ed splendidly, and we were pronounced by our principal to have the true spirit and the right attitude toward discipline, but we have slowly CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL degenerated, although we are much better than classes which have been considered “average.” We expect 1915 to improve on our example and help bring this already excellent school a little nearer its ideals. Our class has had the privilege of helping to bring about one of the most needed reforms in the school the proper amount of school spirit. Certainly, we have shown our ability to work together for the benefit of the school. The sup- port the football, baseball and basket ball teams have received this year has been far bet- ter than ever before, and tin teams have respond- ed by playing sportsman-like games. A reception was tendered to the juniors on November 21. and every freshie will avow it was “right there.” The program was varied and so interesting that it will not be soon for- gotten by those who heard it. The 1914 men on the football team did them- selves credit as well as the class. The spirit of the team is shown in the case of the Wilming- ton Banquet and the reception to Easton, as well as the fact that all but one touchdown was scored by a T4 man. On Thursday, January 15. 1914. Mr. Mar- shall Darrach made his first appearance of the season in our auditorium before a large audi- ence. Ilis reading of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was greatly appreciated. In the two following recitals, he read “Hamlet” and “A Comedy of Errors.” Before ’14 made these recitals a financial success, it was thought that the Chester public would not care for such en- tertainment or at least would grow tired of it after two years, but this was not the case. The interelass debate was the closest and con- sequently the finest debate ever given from our platform. The 1915 team won by a very few points. The girls’ oratorical contest was held on May 7. Miss Elizabeth Oliver, assistant in the Eng- lish Department of Swarthmore College, declar- ed the orations equal to those of college grade. Helen Rhodes won first prize, and Esther Nich- ols. second. The boys’ contest was so close that techni- calities alone could determine tin prizes. The first was won by Joseph Koury and the second by Lawrence Ridington. with Arthur Billsteiu a close third. This class also placed a representative in the Swarthmore Interscholastic Oratorical Contest. With the exception of 1911, this is the only class which has qualified for this honor. And as this class of loyal students—mathe- maticians, orators, authors, poets and athletes— leaves this school, some for higher institutions and some for the broader school of life, we heartily wish that succeeding classes may raise even higher the standards set by old 1914. 17 CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN.

CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN JUNIDI ANNUAL 59 fetnrtj nf thr (Hass of 1015 ON Tuesday, September 5, 1911. the class of Nineteen Fifteen entered for the first time the portals of the Chester High School. Karlv in the morning of that beautiful summer day. all the corners in tin vicinity of the school were crowded with the male members of that class. The upper class- men termed us “greenies,” but in truth we had a small streak of yellow that morning. So much for the eyesight of the upper classmen! Finally when we had assembled in numbers large enough, we started for the entrances of the school, upon which our eyes had been glued for the past half hour. Groups of older students were standing around these entrances, and they appeared very hostile. Instead of being savages these fellows wen really human, and proved the same by giving us a rousing cheer and then escorting us to our various rooms throughout the building. The bell soon rang, and we entered upon the happiest course of our life.—a course, full of hard work and worry for some, and yet contain- ing so much happiness that the latter completely drowns the former two. When the class had finally assembled and the pupils’ names had been entered on the books of the school, we found that there were sixty girls and fifty-five boys, or a total of one hundred fifteen pupils. This was the largest class to enter the Chester High School up to that time. In November of 1911. Fifteen was given a reception by tin- class of 1912. We were con- ducted through the building, introduced to the teachers, and were shown many interesting ex- periments in the chemistry and physics lab- oratories. and were allowed to gaze upon the complicated geometrical problems, which many of us took to be Chinese puzzles. After this reception, we became a real part of the school. During the fall and winter of 1911-12. we kept very quiet and gained a reputation of being a very industrious and bright class, but rather backward in athletics. This last was due to the fact that we were very unselfish, rather than incompetent. We felt confident that we .could accomplish great things in the athletic line, but still we did not wish to take any honors from the upper classmen who had been so kind CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 60 to us during' our first few months at school. But this feeling could not last with the coming of spring. Our athletic qualities had been aroused, and tin result was that we played a game of baseball with the class of 1912. and defeated the seniors by a one-sided score. A few other games completed our schedule, but not until we had gained a reputation as good baseball play- ers. In June, Fifteen made its first appearance before the school. This was in the Flag Day exercises. Our speakers acquitted themselves admirably and appeared to be in love with the stage. One of the speakers was so much in love with the platform that he forgot his audience and the re st of the world, and tried to see which was the harder, his head or the floor. September, and the resumption of studies, brought Fifteen back stronger in school and class spirit, but weaker in numbers. On calling the roll at the beginning of the term, it was found that we had lost twenty-six of our num- ber. The first thing we did when we returned to school was to denounce the ways of the former classes and take the initiative. We were the first class in the history of the school to organize before becoming senior middles. Mr. John Og- den was elected president, and Miss Ethel Bot- tomley vice president. We applied ourselves diligently to pur studies during the fall, and succeeded in breaking a few records. Most of these records were in the black (?) ink columns. The warriors of the class were still small in limb and muscle com- pared with the giants of the upper classes, and as football was the only sport in season, we had no chance to gain distinction. This was no dis- credit to us. During tin winter. Fifteen went in strongly for basket ball, but were unable to win the championship, owing to the fine teams put on the floor by 1913 and 1914. These two classes had very good teams, and Fifteen was not very greatly disappointed in not defeating them. The first sign of spring aroused our athletic abilities to their fullest extent. We again captured the baseball championship and placed four of our men on the “varsity” team. By the end of our second year, a great change had come over the school. The school realized that there was an exceptional class within its walls, and everyone was willing to give to Fif- teen the credit and honor which were due it. But be it not thought that all the credit and honor were due to the male members of the class alone. The girls were loyal to the class in every way. and they did as much if not more in helping Fifteen to gain its reputation as did tlu boys. They attended all the games and cheered lustily for the teams, thus helping the boys to turn almost certain defeat into victory. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 61 For who would not strive on to victory when urged by such an innocent, merry, graceful, beautiful, and heart-breaking group of young ladies? Far be it from me to be guilty of the crime of forgetting them! On June 24. 1913. the entire class went on a picnic to Loro wood Grove. We were chaperoned by Miss Lamb. Miss Ilepworth and Mr. Green. Everyone claimed that he had never spent a more enjoyable day. The class of Nineteen Fifteen began its third year in the Chester High School on the eighth day of September. 1913. There were eighty- four members on the class roll, forty-nine girls and thirty-five toys. We held an election of officers and Mr. Edward Beatty was elected president, and Miss Glwadys Williams, vice president. Nineteen Fifteen again determined to hold and increase the reputation she had gained in the preceding years. When the football candidates were called, ton of our men donned their togs and answered the call. Both manager and captain of next year's team have been elected from our class. Again in basket ball. Fifteen contributed nobly her share of candidates. We placed two men on the “varsity” team, and the rest com- posed the second string men. Besides this, the manager was a Fifteen man, as likewise are next year's captain and manager. During the winter. Fifteen not only showed athletic ability, but also ability as poets, de- lators and mathematicians. Poetry seems to have been born in some of our pupils, so easily does it How from their lips. Too much credit cannot be given to the public, debating team, which defeated the seniors and made us cham- pions of the school. We lost only one debate to Fourteen, and won two. For full particulars on the last named subject kindly see Miss Cald- well. Fnder the auspices of the class of Nineteen Fifteen was given the comic opera. “Babes in Toyland.” presented by the pupils of the two upper classes. This was one of the most suc- cessful entertainments ever presented to the public by the pupils of the Chester High School. Most of the credit for the success of this en- tertainment is due to the teachers of the school, who worked incessantly to make this play a success. In all. the class of Nineteen Fifteen has just passed through three happy and successful years in dear old Chester High School. We excel in athletics. We shine so brightly in our studies that the Chester Fire Department has been de- bating for some time as to whether we are really on fire. We have had a very remarkable senior c’ass preceding us. yet. if we continue in our past good work, we shall have the greatest class ever to graduate from tin Chester High School. —G. Julian Courtney. ’15. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 63 IStfitnni uf tin' (Class nf lillG y ) OX the bright morning of September 9, 1912. the class of 1916 beheld the in- terior of the Chester High School for the first time. The hopes of this class were to break school records in scholastic and athletic competition. Scholastic ability was shown thus early in our career by the notable fact that a member of our class received the prize for the highest student record. So in one way our expectations have borne fruit. In athletics the class made a fairly good show- ing, for inexperienced men. In the fall our athletic qualities were exhibited by our run- ners gaining second place in the cross country run. a thing of honor to freshmen. We had a fairly successful football season, although the baseball season was better. On the evening of the Junior Reception our parents and ourselves were graciously entertain- ed and conducted by the seniors throughout the building, the home of our four years of high school life. All the freshmen classes have charge of the Flag Day program, and when it came our turn to prove ourselves, we did it successfully, for our program was said to l e the best ever given. The male members of our class began to cul- tivate tin- musical ability within them by singing on the cellar door across from the school, but this was abandoned when the hot weather came. The opening of tin school term in the fall of 1913, saw the class of 1916 back stronger in school spirit, although somewhat diminished in numbers. We started our second year without a few members who had left us. some to work, some through failure to pass the freshman year, and one by death. We wanted to know each other and to pull together, and the first step toward this was to organize the class, which was done. The boys took a step further by purchasing class hats. These hats are blue with burnt orange numer- als. thus forming the class colors. Our work in athletics advanced even more than in the first year. Our contributions to the school teams made themselves felt. Then to in- terest the boys and also to help them, the class football and baseball teams were formed. Some of the proceeds of tin football games we added to the shower-bath fund, with which new shower- baths were installed in the boys’ locker room. Several of our athletes did splendid work in the class meets. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 64 Several interesting and instructive treats have been given to our class by the teachers; namely, biological trips to adjacent fields, one trip to the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens, and several illustrated lectures. For all these and many other courtesies, we here express our ap- preciation. The establishment of the midyear promotion system threatened to blast the hopes of some of us of graduating with the class; but the chance of catching up again by hard study affords a vast relief. At the noon and recess periods, the boys re- sumed the “cellar door” chorus for a while. As the upper classes did not take kindly to it, it was given up, although it really was good music. Shortly after the opening of the term, we amused ourselves by playing with the fresh- men’s baseball, until the senior middles, fear- ing for the darlings’ safety, threw the ball on a roof. In a nutshell. Nineteen Sixteen has made much progress toward becoming the foremost class in the history of the school, both in schol- arship and school athletics. —Paul C. Crowther. ’16. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. iSHME N ANNUAL 66 history of tin' (Class of 1917 TO one not interested in a first year class, Nineteen Seventeen seems very insig- nificant and not at all awe-inspiring; but to a member of our class, it spells all his hopes, his desires, his triumphs and his failures from the time that he becomes a fresh- man until a certain day in a far-off June, when he shall receive a roll of white parchment tied with an orange and black ribbon. In its own small way. Nineteen Seventeen has a history which began on November tenth, 1913, when brown and white were chosen as class colors, and the following officers elected: Charles Larkin, president; Kathryn Jones, vice presi- dent; Morton Daller, secretary; Irma McLean, treasurer. So it happened, and now, at the end of our first year, we feel that we are becoming a part of old Chester High—an honor which only a student can appreciate; and we realize that it is our duty to help maintain the present high standard of our school. The fact that so few are failing this year, serves as a basis for the scholastica! rating of Nineteen Seventeen, and when we have so many capable students, we shall be able to reach the ideal which we have adopted. Nearly one-half the freshmen decided upon taking Latin, and following out the regular academic course; the others took commercial work and although they seem to be the youngest members of the class, they evidently have a keen interest in the busi- ness world which awaits them. The public speaking class has probably proved to be the greatest trial of all. for several of our boys were heard to remark, gloomily, that “they’d rather take a dose of medicine than get up there before the whole class and recite a piece.” In this particular branch, Lawrence Baxter has shown much talent, as has Charles Larkin, who, though a trifle dramatic,startled us all with his decla- mations. We feel that we cannot speak too highly of Louis Rosenberg, whose beautiful violin playing has aroused interest even in the upper classes; and although Elizabeth Lathem has not had a very great chance to play for us, we who know her ability an very proud of her. As a whole. Nineteen Seventeen promises to de- velop as well in lessons as in athletics. For a freshman class. Nineteen Seventeen ranks well in all phases of sports, for from that glorious day when Hughes made his initial l ow to the football team and the bleachers, to that equally glorious day when he received his foot- ball letters, our athletic ability was undoubted. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 67 Hughes surprised even his intimate friends when he played so splendid a game this year, and as he has three more years ahead, we ex- pect great work from him. When we taught Nineteen Sixteen a few points in the game with the football, we were established. And when Parry and Paller showed their ability on the track, and Harvey made the soccer team we were confirmed. This is Nineteen Seventeen’s strong point, for in our husky freshmen we see future warriors of the athletic meets. Natural- ly, in these days of equal rights, the girls must have their share of praise and just considera- tion. and. while they cannot play football or baseball or basket ball, they can use the girls’ gym, and they can cheer at tin games, and show school spirit. In this Nineteen Seventeen has manifested much interest, not only by contributing gener- ously to the athletic funds, but in rousing en- thusiasm in the class itself, believing that the scholastic question should demand our finest exhibition of class spirit. From the first. Nine- teen Seventeen has been enthusiastic over all the affairs of the school. At the Darrach re- citals. at the performance of “Babes in Toy- land’ and in subscribing for the “Spectrum” we have done our share. Naturally, we have our class curiosities and their personal quests, among which are Dorothe Ilepford, arbiter of elegance, in search of a remedy for conceit: Kitty Jones, beauty, study- ing the hair-dressing fashions; W. Nothnagle, our clown; wanted! someone to beat him asking questions; Ross Lewis, tin Roman, trying to hide papers in Latin class; Sara Cochrane, his- torian. getting wrong impressions; Anna Beat- ty. authoress, student, poet, etc.,—what will cure her love for----? As a class, we have excelled many former freshman classes, and since entering Chester High, we have tried to reach the mark which will leave the name of Nineteen Seventeen one to be remembered long after we have left our Alma Mater. Without boasting, we think that our class is one of real merit and worth. Dorothy Ann Harrison. ?17. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN.

Vice President. Treasurer, THE girls of the Chester High School, in their great endeavor towards something in the line of athletics, formed an ath- letic association three years ago. We started with nothing; but with the aid of the School Board, who paid for having a hard-wood floor laid on the attic of the High School, we acquired what some day may be a gymnasium. We have several pieces of appar- atus. a fine collection of girls, and an expert physical director. For the past two or three years. Mr. Carlton B. Sanford has very kindly placed his services at the disposal of the girls of the Chester High School. It is to him that we owe a great part of our success, and we greatly appreciate his beneficial instructions. Our faculty representative, Miss Bertha Hep- worth. also deserves a great deal of credit. We may always feel confident of her interest in our A. A., and also her help whenever it may b needed. The first corps of workers for the Girls’ Ath- letic Association was composed of: Nellie Go- don. ’13. president; Mary Walters, ’15, vice president; Edith Paxson, ’14. secretary; Ruth Edith Paxson, ’14. Lillian Nines. ’14. Marjorie Black. ’14. Esther Nichols, T4. Spencer, ’12, treasurer. The second corps comprised: Elizabeth Ped- rick, ’13. president; Mary Walters. ’15, vice president; Mary Tweltridge. 13. secretary; Edith Paxson, ’14, treasurer. We tried various types of athletics. We at- tempted basket ball, but having no place to practice, it was not a great success. There were some games between the different classes, and who do you think were victors every time? Why. ’14, of course! Some of the girls were also interested in ten- nis, and last year we had a tournament. Once again. ’14 came out victorious! The results of Mr. Sanford’s trials were pub- licly revealed last, year at an exhibition which was a great success. We not only entertained an audience, but we also appeased a hungry spot in the treasury with the sum of $94.35. We hope to surpass this exhibition by those which will follow. Thus far, the Girls’ Athletic Association has doubtless been a success, and Nineteen Fourteen leaves behind them best wishes for a very pros- perous future. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 73 First Term. Sam [tel Cochran Homer Berry Esther Nichols WE feel that the Literary Society of the Chester High has completed one of the most profitable years since its for- mation. In every way, the meetings have been a success; for they have been both entertaining and instructive. On October 15, the first act of “Julius Ca sar” was presented by members of the so- ciety. A unique Christmas program was excel- lently performed before the entire school, when “Christmas Eve in Toy land” was given. Over eighty persons were in the cast. Although the idea was taken from “Babes in Toy land,” most of it was original with those connected with the school. As usual, the debates between the two up- per classes interested everyone. The first of these was held on February 11. The subject under discussion was: “Resolved that the railroads of the Cnited States should be owned and operated by the Government.” The af- firmative side was upheld by 1914; the nega- tivi by 1915. The judges gave the negative the decision. The second interclass debate was on March 11. The proposition was: “Resolved, that further Stroud Term. Samuel Cochran Albert Federman Edgar Z. Palmer Federal legislation for the restrictions of trusts and industrial combinations is desirable.” The seniors took the affirmative; the senior middles the negative. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. The seventh anniversary of the Literary So- ciety was held on the evening of April 24. The main part of the program consisted of the third and last interclass debate. The subject for ar- gument was: “Resolved, that the clause ex- empting American coastwise vessels from Pana- ma Canal tolls should he repealed.” The seniors upheld the affirmative, while the senior middle team comprised the opposition. After a long and hard-fought struggle, the judges an- nounced the senior middle team to be the vic- tor by a slim majority of the total number of points. It was one of the closest and l est argued debates ever presented by the society. In April we celebrated the three hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Shakespeare. Two scenes taken from “Macbeth” were admir- ably acted by a few of our members. The ex- tempore talks given by senior middles and the numerous declamations and vocal and instru- mental selections also helped to make the meet- ings more enjoyable. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN.

ANNUAL_____________________________ 77 SU uinit of Athlrtira TIIIO 1913-14 athletic year of the Chester 11 i jrh School was a success. Viewed from the standpoint of games won. viewed from the financial standpoint, or viewed from the standpoint of general excel- lence of play, the foregoing statement holds true. The football team played a schedule of ten games, and six times the Orange and Black was victorious. The Norristown game re- sulted in a scoreless tie. The team failed to reach that goal for which all previous teams have fought and for which all future teams must fight—the defeat of Wilmington. The basket ball team made up for the foot- ball shortcoming by twice defeating Wilming- ton; and to render us further satisfaction twice defeating the Wilmington Friendsy School. From a schedule of eighteen games, five contests are placed on the wrong side of the ledger. Numbered among the thirteen victories is the memorable defeat of Central High, which in it- self shows the calibre of the 1913-14 team. At this writing the baseball team has yet to meet Wilmington, and. as the success of any Chester team is measured by the results of the Wilmington games, nothing more can lx said here than to predict a victory in both contests. The team this year is a team that can place baseball on a par with the other sports. In past years it has been a foolish question to ask if (’heater’s baseball team won. To date the team has won eight out of thirteen games played and in the games to come should better this ratio. As to track, the less said the better. Track takes more time, energy and training than any of tin other sports and the slightest success is indeed merited. In the Glen Mills Interschol- astie Meet the relay team finished third and Cochran and Fagan took first and third, respect- ively. in the pole vault. At the Delaware Col- lege Interscholasties Cochran placed third in the pole vault, Dalton third in the shot put. and tin relay team finished third. Among the accomplishments of the past year has been the introduction of soccer and tennis. Soccer was started in the late fall and was lim- ited to contests among the boys of the school. Next year it is proposed to form a representa- tive team and to play a schedule of games with other schools. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 78 New tennis courts have been provided by the School Board and a schedule of matches ar- ranged. The 1914 tennis team will he the first team to represent the school in this sport. The Athletic Association has recognized the sport and will award the C. T. T. to those who play in the required number of matches. During the winter an attempt was made to form a swimming team, but lack of enthusiasm caused the project to bo dropped. It is hoped that next year the matter will la taken up and a team organized. It is an unusual thing for the year to end with the A. A. well fortified financially, but such is the distinction which marks the past year. Football began tin year by making its accustomed return and was followed by basket ball with a neat sum. At the present writing, baseball, for the first time in years, bids fair to support itself at least. The soccer, tennis and track teams, with no means at their command to support themselves, have caused considerable outlay by the A. A. Mr. Boell. in the capacity of Athletic Direc- tor. has been in close touch with all the teams and no small amount of praise should lx ac- corded him; for it is due to him that such teams have been developed. Taken all in all. the past year marks an ad- vance in all lines of athletic endeavor, and the next and succeeding years, profiting by the ex- periences of the past year, should further in- crease and augment this standing.

RTEEN ANNUAL 82 Unrifui nf tbr paamt THE 1913 football team, while failing in the carrying out of its chief aim, the defeat of Wilmington, should be classed as a successful team. The victories over Media, Camden. West Chester and Brown Prep, and the holding of Norristown to a scoreless tie were accomplish- ments well earned and merited. The team had several things to contend with and, while these things might have been handled in a different way, they were handled so in an endeavor to bring about harmony and prevent total disruption of the team. When the season began. Coach Boell and Captain Sweney had but one idea in mind and that was to beat Wil- mington. With this idea foremost in mind, the work was started and immediately the obstacles arose. To overcome these obstacles there was either of two distinct courses to follow. One course meant tin preservation of personal feel- ings and the assured loss of the Wilmington game; the other course meant the saving of the chance to defeat Wilmington and the sacrific- ing of personal feelings. Coach Boell and Captain Sweney chose the latter course. But this choosing of the latter course meant not only the sacrificing of the coach and cap- tain's personal feelings, but also those of every loyal fellow in the squad. It was not necessary for these fellows who were striving to help their school to follow these feelings. They could have easily allied themselves on the opposite side. But such was not the case. The captain, coach and these red-blooded fellows fought side by side all through the season until finally the day arrived when they would learn whether their sacrifice had been in vain or whether it would reap its just reward. After a great game. Wilmington won and their sacrifice was in vain. Can anyone wonder why a burning tear was seen on the cheek of many a black jerseyed player as. after the game, he filed slowly through the gate? To the world he had served his school only physically, but each athlete who had fought on through the preceding weeks, who had put aside all personal feelings for the sake of the school, knew that he had served his school more than physically. And only in this know- ing could each reap his reward. Vineland opened the season and was followed in order by Tolentinc and Media, all three of which were victories for Chester. Next in turn came Norristown, and here Chester thought she had a chance to break all precedent,—to defeat CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ANNUAL 83 Norristown. In a hard fought, snappy game, neither team was able to score a point. Nor- ristown was probably the more disappointed, for it was the first time for several years that she lias failed to defeat Chester. October 24. it rained, and in this rain ('heater literally rubbed Camden High’s nose in the mud. This victory is especially satisfying, because it is the first time for several years that any Camden team has been defeated by Chester. The Fates were against Chester in the game with Itidley Park, and thus the tale is told. Ridley Park was admittedly strong, but both of her scores were made on flukes. West Chester offered little resistance and our team, composed mostly of scrubs, easily won. November 14. 11)13, will long be remembered by the school and city. Due to the untiring efforts of .1 anics Milbourn. the Glen Mills Rand was secured for the game, and at two o’clock presented themselves at the school. The line of march was soon formed, and. led by the band, the school paraded down Concord Avenue, to Third, to Market, to Kdgmont Avenue, to Rroad and out Broad to the field. Immediately following, came Wilmington, also headed by a band. Fifth Ward Park was besieged by a larger crowd than had ever before presented it- self for admittance. The scene inside was one that rivaled only the historic Yale-IIarvard battle. Cheer leaders were constantly in action, not to excite enthusiasm, but to control it. The game was that of a typical Chester-Wil- mington game—fast, furious and hard fought throughout. Chester had her chance to score in the first quarter. but lacked tin punch to put the ball over. Wilmington had one golden opportunity and took advantage of it. Hewes, who had done splendid kicking all through the game, attempt- ed to kick out from behind his goal line and the ball was blocked. Snow fell on the ball and thus scored two points for Wilmington. The first half soon ended. Between the halves the crowd was amused by a parade around the field: first by Wilmington and then by Chester. The Orange and Black came back determined, and. although they put up a great fight, it was impossible to score. Toward the end the play- ing lagged, for so fiercely was the game fought that eaeli team was nearly worn out. The game ended with tin score of 2 to 0 in favor of Wil- mington. in the evening all feeling was put aside, and the members of both teams sat around the same banquet board at the Chester Club. Our rela- tions with Wilmington are nothing but the best, and we hope that they may continue so for some time. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 84 Brown Prep, played here next and were de- feated by the score of 20 to 14. ('Hester scored all of her points in the second half. Easton High School was our opponent on Thanksgiving Day morning. Chester was out- classed, hut Easton might have been held to a closin' score if the Orange and Black had played up to form. This is the first time that a game has been arranged with a team coming so great a distance, hut it only shows that Chester is branching out in her athletic endeavors. The team was captained by Sweney, who play- ed a hard consistent game all season. His play- ing position was changed several times in order to l olstcr the team. “Bob” did everything for the sake of the team and the school, and no man showed more spirit and fight in the Wilmington game than lie did. Hcwes. playing his fourth year on the team, put up a flashy game at end. “Walt” was badly injured in the Ridley Park game, but pluckily entered the contest with Wilmington. IIis punting in this game was the equal of that of many college kickers. After carrying the ball on the longest run of the day. his injured knee gave way under him and lie had to be eariied from the field. lie gave his all for the school, and. as a result, his football days arc ended. Cochran’s playing at quarter was everything that could be desired. A bad shoulder hindered him greatly, especially in throwing forward passes. “Stump” was one of tin few who play- ed well against Easton. In the line. Robinson, captain-elect for 1914. was the shining light. “Robbv” has yet to meet, his superior as a defensive tackle. Others in the line, Dalton. I). Cochran, Logan. Khusman. Cana van and Profilers gave their all for the Orange and Black; while in the back- field. Hughes. Snow and Birtwell performed creditably. The scrub team, under the leader- ship of Captain Shaw, kept tin first team on edge, and in so doing rendered a valuable ser- vice. Behind it all is seen the hand of Coach Boell. Football is just the opposite to a military en- gagement. The commanding officer is given the praise for winning tin battle; but it is exactly the opposite in tin case of football, where the players themselves are given the glory. Mr. Boell proved himself to be a faithful and en- thusiastic coach. Captain Robinson has excellent prospects for 1914. Canavan. Ctothers, Lebidine, Walker, and possibly Shusman. wiU return, who with himself. Hughes and Larkin, sliou'd form a strong nucleus for a su-cessful t arn. Add- tional material may be drawn from the scrubs, neatly all of whom will return. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN Basket Ball Team 1913-14 ANNUAL 87 tltaskrt Stall (Tram Manager II. C. Deakyne, 15.

A victory was recorded against Central High of Philadelphia, a team which is ranked among tin- best scholastic fives in the country. We also established a new record by defeating Wilmington Friends twice and winning both Wilmington games. There were also victories over ( 11. S. ’13 and Swarthmore College Scrubs. The manager arranged a well balanced schedule of eighteen games, presenting a few new teams: Swarthmore College Scrubs, Eas- ton High. Downingtown High and Peirce School. We defeated three of these teams, but were de- feated by Easton on their door. The Central High game came on January ninth. The “Y” gymnasium was crowded with spectators. Both teams took the Hoor and soon the game began. Central presented a fast team and the game was a good one. The score see- sawed all the game and at tin end of the second half the score was tied. It was finally decided to play an extra period and break the tie. Two substitutions were made. Miller for Chester and Ward for Central. Both of these men shot the foul goals. .Miller caged all his opportunities, while Ward missed one; so at the end of the period the score was 20-19 in Chester’s favor. In the first Wilmington game Chester won handily by a 19-17 score, and so took some of the sting from tin defeat received in football. In the second game Chester overwhelmed Wil- mington by a score of 45-28. Cochran and Logan each scored five field goals, and Cochran tossed in nineteen fouls. Craig was the only man that kept Wilmington in the running. By means of foul goals he scored twenty-six of his team’s twenty-eight points. Captain Cochran played the greatest game of his illustrious career and has left behind him not only the record of a fast forward and a brainy player, but also that of a good and faith- ful captain. Logan. Swenev. Smith. Robinson, Baldt and Miller all played good basket ball, and it is hard to say who was the best man. They played as a unit and their team work won the games. Prospects for next season are especially bright. A strong team should ! e developed with Robinson and Smith as a nucleus, with the en- tire scrub team of this year to draw from.

S nit mu of tlir Reason THE 1914 baseball team is composed of players of rather unusual ability, and for the first time in several years the school is represented by a team that can win games. Baseball has always been on a much lower plane than the other sports, but the suc- cesses of this year should place it alongside of football and basket ball. One cause for the poor showing of the team in previous years has been the lack of good pitchers. This year both Johnson and Ogden are pitching a brand of hall that is above the average school-boy twirling. The old reliable Baldt is found behind the plate, where he is holding up the pitchers in fine style. Behind this magnificent pitching is a bunch of hitters who are living up to everything the name implies. Baldt, Stein. Smith. Waters and Nolan are generally good for more than one safety per game. The glaring weakness of the team is their in- ability to field. Captain Ilewes alone is field- ing his position well. Ilis inability to hit is offset by his sure fielding. All in all. it is a good team, and one that re- flects much credit on Coach Boell. who has had charge of the development. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN ANNUAL 92____________________________________________ Manager Milbourn arranged a fine schedule. Schools whose teams would be certain to be much stronger than ours, were not considered. The schedule was comprehensive, well-balanced, and at the same time attractive to both players and students. “Greenie” spent much time in its formation, and he has succeeded in present- ing to the school the best schedule that any base- ball team has played. Among the victories to date, the most import- ant are the two over Ridley Park and Media, one over Cheltenham and one over Wilming- ton Friends. The Swartlunore Prep, and Kwarthmore Scrub games were hard fought en- gagements with the closing innings deciding the winners. The game with West Chester was played in the rain. Ogden went along nicely for four innings, when the ball became wet and lie “blew up.” As soon as their pitcher weak- ened. the rest of the team did likewise. Under good weather conditions Chester should defeat West (’hester. Camden hit Smith hard. and. together with ragged support on the part of his co-players, the Jerseyites easily annexed the game. An interesting fact of this year’s team is that there are more freshmen on the team than seniors. This, indeed, augers well for future teams. Baldt, after three years of consistent playing, together with Ilewes and Stein, will lx graduated. Perhaps the greatest loss will be Baldt, but Gray should fit in nicely. | Editor’s Note.!

The team was handicapped by a lack of experienced men. a coach, and proper facilities with which to train. Without these things no track team can be successful. A good track team requires more time and care than any other team. After a few weeks’ practice, try-outs were held at Swarthmore College to pick the relay team to run at the Penn Carnival. The follow- ing team was chosen: Shaw (1). Deakyne (2), Dalton (3). and Larkin (4). At the Relays the team was outclassed and finished last in a class of six teams. At Swarthmore we accom- plished nothing of note, only qualifying a few the S’rasmt men for the finals. Our next meet was at Glen Mills. Here the relay team, composed of Irwin (1). Shaw (2), Wolfe (3), Larkin (4), finished third in a class of seven teams. Cochran and E. Fagan placed first and third respectively in the pole vault, and Dalton placed fourth in the shot put. The last meet was at Delaware Col- lege. Here the relay team placed third, and Cochran placed third in the pole vault. Also Dalton placed third in the shot put. The season has been unsuccessful, but a team has been developed for next year that should win consistently. Deakyne, Irwin, Wolf. T. Fagan, Weston and Sileox are left, and pros- pects are very bright indeed. CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN JOHN SPENCfcR.
