This year, we have tried to make the “Annual” more of a school year-book. We have given each class equal space for their history and activities, in hope of strengthening our desire. We have tried to put in tangible form the achievements of all the societies and athletic teams during the past year, in order that a true portrayal of the life and spirit of Chester High School might be shown. We wish to express our unbounded appreciation to Mr. William Hoffaker for his untiring and gratuitous service and skill in drawing our cartoons and de- partment heads. We also desire to thank the other classes for helping us make our “An- nual” a success from both a periodical and financial standpoint. We hope that the 1916 class will issue a similar book with still more improvements. We take this opportunity to thank the other classes for their support, which has been accorded us in all our undertakings, and wish them unbounded success in all their achievements—for all are for the advancement and betterment of our Alma Mater.

Deakyne President Nora Thompson Secretary Helen Bonsall Vice President Sylvester Smith Treasurer TUESDAY, September 15, 1911, saw a great and glorious assemblage make its en- trance into the Chester High School. Such a class as Nineteen Fifteen had never before been received; for this class was al- ready predestined to become the greatest one in the history of the school, breaking all records in every phase of work and school activities. This class was composed not only of the us- ual hook-worms, hut also of the future great ath- letic heroes, who were balanced, on the other hand, hv some of the fairest damsels yet seen beneath these sheltering portals. In November, 1911, Fifteen was tendered a reception by the iSenior Class. We were escorted through the whole building, seeing many new phases of the school life with which we were before unfamiliar. After this reception, we felt that we were now a part of this great school, and it was with re- doubled efforts that we set to work to become the most renowned class in the histon of the school. As soon as baseball season opened, ’15 made her debut in athletics by placing two of her mem- bers on the school baseball nine. As for a class team, she captured the interclass baseball cham- pionship, and defeated several local high school 'varsity teams, among which was our own High School team. We also received distinction in track by defeating the Sophs, who had had a year’s experience in the interclass meet. June saw us displaying to a delighted school our natural talents and accomplishments in the celebration of Flag Day, the program of which was entertainingly rendered by this class. Fall and the resumption of studies brought ’15 back, weaker in numbers, but stronger in school and class spirit. After settling down, we decided to organize our class. In doing so. we Fifteen CHE8TER HIGH 8CH00L ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN established a precedent for other classes to follow; for we were the first to organize be- fore our third year. Mr. John Ogden was elected president, and Miss Ethel Bottomley vice presi- dent. This step was the master stroke in bind- ing us together, and preparing the way for the zenith of achievements we have since attained. During this year, we placed in the library a box for the displaying of antique and rare coins. This box of oak, which has a velvet lining, is the work of one of the members of our history class. This, the first of our gifts to the school, was soon followed by another. A picture was placed in Mr. Pedlow’s room. This is one of a series and we hope other classes will follow our example and complete the set. ’15 made her second appearance before the school by rendering the most pleasing exercises for Peace Day yet seen by the students. No won- der the other classes looked on with jealousy when our orators delivered their selections in such an eloquent manner. These marvels had never before been seen. On the arrival of baseball season, our boys held down four regular positions on the school team and duplicate their performance of the year before by winning the interclass champion- ship. While in the second year we won second place in the interclass track meet; ’15 was also honored by having the basketball, baseball and track managers elected from her number. These had charge for the following year. During this, our Sophomore year, we took many enjoyable, as well as instructive, field trips under the supervision of the science department. As a climax to these trips, the entire class took a trip to Lorewood Grove. Here we were enjoying ourselves so much that we forgot that it was nec- essary to return. Had the boat not waited, we should have had to leave behind several lads who were enjoying a cooling dip when it arrived. The reopening of school brought us back in the Junior stage. The class reorganized with Mr. Edward Beatty as president and Miss Ghvadys Williams, vice president. Mr. John Nolan was re-elected secretary and Mr. Benjamin Mills was elected treasurer. With these officers, ’15 was to increase her already wide reputation. When football candidates were called out, ten of our men donned their togs and answered the call. The captain and manager for the fol- lowing year were elected from '15. In basketball, two of our men were on the Varsity and 1915 en- tirely composed the second string. The manager was also a T5 man. Sixteen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN The comedy, “Babes in Toyland,” was pre- sented to the public under our auspices. This af- fair proved to be a great hit, and may be termed the most successful affair ever rendered by the students, although credit must be given to the teacher who worked on it so untiringly. Besides men of great athletic ability, this class possessed some of the greatest mathemati- cians, poets and debaters ever in the school. In the public debate, our debaters won the cham- pionship for the year. The ’15 class presented to the school a hand- some Victrola and some very fine records, the use of which has been a source of instruction, in hearing the great singers, as well as of much en- joyment to both teachers and pupils. On Arbor Day, the class carried out the usual custom of holding exercises in the school, at the end of which we planted two trees which help to beautify our lawn. These stand as memorials of the great work of this noble class. With the arrival of outdoor sports, ’15. was found to have more members on the baseball team than any other class, and one of her men was the manager. In track. ’15 composed the backbone of the team. One of our lads broke the 220-vard dash school record, which had stood since 1906. Undoubtedly this class had the bet- ter team, and had not the Senior class committed a very unsportsmanlike act, we would have won easily. As it was, they won by two points. The crowning event of the year was our Jun- ior Recital. On account of the size and promi- nence of the class, it was held in the Washburn Theatre, where, when the curtain rose, the audi- ence beheld eighty-four bright and happy young men and women. We then proceeded with the programme, which has set a new standard far above any previous recital. To close this year, the class took her second annual picnic. We went up the river to Burling- ton Island, where we spent a most enjoyable day. September, 1914, brought back a well rested and energetic class to assume the responsibility of being the Senior class and the guiding star of the school during the year. We started with re- organization. the results being Harry C. Dea- kyne, president; Helen Bonsall, vice president; Nora Thompson, secretary; and Sylvester Smith, treasurer, and with these officers we settled down for work. In the early part of November the class as- sembled on the campus and presented a most magnificent bronze sun-dial on a blue marble pedestal, to stand there as a beautifier of our school surroundings, and also to serve as a per- Seventeen MtltlltllHMMI IMMIIIIIIIMIHIMIII III II lllll CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

Ill III III • petual memorial to our class of their untiring ef- forts and of their deep affection for the school. Lower Classes, we sincerely hope that you will follow our example and dedicate memorials. This same month the class tendered a recep- tion to the Freshman class. After showing these children the wonders of the laboratory, such as the burning of iron and similar experiments, and also the geometry problems, which they termed Chinese puzzles, we assembled in the auditorium and delivered a programme which delighted all. Football season came and our fourteen boys, including the captain, certainly deserve credit for the way in which they worked. A ’15 lad also managed the team. In basketball, this class had four men out of five holding down regular positions. The captain and manager also may be classified as ’15 men. A great stride in advancement was made dur- ing the winter, when it was decided to put the opening exercises in charge of the Senior class. The class was divided into three groups, and each group in turn takes charge of the exercises for a week. The class is certainly to be congratulated on the success of it. for they have not only dem- onstrated their ability in this line, but have made these exercises interesting to the school in doing so. Unusual interest was created this year in re- gard to the interclass debates; for the Juniors had, by some means, managed to tie the Seniors in the early debates, and a high pitch of enthus- iasm was reached when a permanent interclass trophy was presented by Mr. and Mrs. William Hofacker, of Norwood. The winners of the pub- lic debate would have their numerals carved on it. Of course ’15 s peerless team easily carried off the honors for a second year, making them the really only undefeated champions of the school. Through the efforts of some of our members, a new organization was formed, which is known as the Dramatic Society. The purpose of this society has been the presentation of dramatic work, and several pieces of very high class work have been produced. Under 15’s leadership the standard of the Literary Society has been raised both in the work presented and the meetings themselves. During the year a plan was started, whereby we shall now have a ’varsity debating team. The Swarth- more Freshman Debate was a beginning toward this end. For the first time in three years it was found necessary to bring the shower bath into use. In this case the Seniors placed several obnoxious Juniors under its cooling stream of water.

During this term the class took several in- teresting and instructive trips to local industrial establishments and historical spots under the su- pervision of the science and history departments. Through the efforts of the ?15 baseball men, we have developed the greatest baseball team ever known in the history of the school, and have made a record of which any team could be proud. In track our men have formed such a team as Chester has never had before. It is a team that is really worthy of representing Chester, or any other school, regardless of size. In the inter- class track meet these same fellows had little trouble in duplicating their feat of winning in the school’s meets, and placing their class numerals on the interclass cup. Now that this noble class of scholarly stu- dents has slowly worked its way down the stream of high school education, and will be launched into the rough and turbulent ocean of life, we heartily wish that the classes who follow us will maintain our high standards and, if possible, even surpass them.

Harry Deakyne, president of the class, delivered the presentation ad- dress, and unveiled to view a handsome sun-dial, as a gift to the Chester High School in memory of Nineteen Fifteen. Paul Crowther, president of the Junior class, re- ceived the gift on behalf of the school. Af- ter those present had recovered from their feeling of admiration, Malcolm Hodge gave a short history of the sun-dial, and demon- strated how the instrument was used for telling time. Then followed an original poem . Our Gift,” recited by the class poet, Walter Irwin,—and thus, the great day ended. We hope that from now on. each class will follow our custom and dedicate a fit- ting memorial to our Alma Mater. This will serve not only to commemorate each class, but the different gifts will help to beautify our school and make it evermore our ideal. IMIIMIIIIIM CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

We first entered this institution of learning on September 9. 1912. There were many inter- esting incidents that day, one of the most amus- ing being the fact that we were everywhere try- ing to keep ourselves in seclusion, that is, away from those dignified Seniors, who would have liked very much to lay their hands on some of our number. But we were very apt in this elud- ing game, and for several days there was nothing out of the ordinary to attract one’s attention. One of our first pleasures in this school was the reception tendered to us by the Senior class. Each member of our class was present with his Esther Entwisle Secretary Minshall Holden Treasurer parents or guardians and friends to be shown over the building and to view the work of the upper classmen. After this had been done and we had met many of our future teachers, we were invited into the assembly room, where a very pleasing program was rendered. This first act of kindness shown to us made us feel more like working and mingling with so fine a class of fellow students. In athletics we took an active part, although suffering with the same disease that most Fresh- men seem to contract—cold feet. Finally we did get started, and there were some very close games between our class and the upper classes. Many of our class turned their attention to track in the fall, and were rewarded when one of our number placed second in the cross-country run. It is a very rare occurrence for a Freshman to place in such a run. This was a forerunner of our athlet- Sixty-eight CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN JJistnru of the Class of 1916 (CONTINUED) ic prominence in the coining years. Our baseball team had a very successful season and defeated a majority of the teams that they played. In the latter part of the first year, in accord- ance with custom, we took charge of the Flag Day exercises. Every member of our class that did individual or class work acquitted himself in a very satisfactory manner. Nothing but praise could be heard from pupils and teachers alike. A very encouraging part of the first year oc- curred when a girl-member of our class received the prize for the highest record of any girl in the school. This was very well liked by all of us, because it showed that each member was trying to make a name for himself and in so doing was raising the standard of the class, as a whole. The arrival of spring so inspired some of the boys of the class that they kept the whole school in good spirits, at recess and at noon, by their “excellent” rendition of all the latest popular songs. Although we were very much interested in our school work and activities, still the latter part of June, with its coming vacation period, was very welcome to each one of us. After enjoying a well-earned vacation, we came back again to Chester High to continue with our lessons and to keep up the high stand- ard which we had set. This was begun immed- iately after we had become settled, by the form- ing of a class organization with officers. The following were elected as officers to serve one year: President, Irvin Hamilton; vice pres- ident, Louise Evans; secretary, Madelene Pross- er; treasurer, James Waters. Class colors were selected and plans formed for the betterment of every member. Athletic activities were again indulged in, and teams for each branch of athletics organized. Several members of our class worked hard on the ’Varsity squad. Many of us took advantage of that new sport, tennis, which was introduced through the opening of the new courts made pos- sible by the efforts of several members of the Sixty-nine INMtIllltlIMmiMMIMiailMHMIIIIIIIIMIMIimaiimi IIIMMIMMIIIMMIMlimillMMIIIMMIIMIIIMMMIIIIIIII CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN Histnru nf the (Class of 1916 •9 (CONTINUED) School Board. One of the predominating feat- ures of school spirit was shown in the attendance at all the games played by the several teams. A majority of the class were studying science this year and several trips were arranged and ta- ken through the courtesy of Miss Lamb and Miss Reaney. Field trips were monthly diversions and were looked forward to by every one of the class. The climax was reached when the com- bined sections took several trips to Philadelphia. On one of these a visit was made to the Zoologi- cal Gardens and Horticultural Hall, while on an- other, the Museum and University of Pennsylva- nia grounds were visited. All these were thor- oughly appreciated by everyone, and although several members of the party at different times took individual, or rather “duo parties, still they always meant well. The Peace Day program is undertaken by Sophomores, and we endeavored to furnish a suitable entertainment. With good class spirit always leading, the declamations, solos, and class MMaiimiNMimillMIIMIIIMHIIIIIMIIMIIIHIIMIIMII work were prepared with a will, and were fully appreciated by all those who had the pleasure of listening. Our class is very much honored by having on its roll the best solo singer that ever entered the High School, and she is willing to help any other organization of the school with its entertainments. On the day following the closing of school in June, a picnic was taken to Burlington Island Park. Every member of the class and several outsiders joined in making this first class picnic one to be remembered. We left Chester early in the morning and spent the day at the park, where games and other amusements were in- dulged in until it was time to come home. Every- one said that he had had the time of his young life, and he meant it. too. After working off the surplus energy during the summer months, we came back in September resolved to buckle down and work with good school spirit—the kind that is prevalent in Ches- ter High. With our numbers somewhat dim- Seventy CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN History of the (Class of 1916 (CONTINUED) inished on account of some leaving school and others failing to keep up with their work, we entered upon the third year of our High School career. One of the first tilings to be done was the reorganization of the class; this resulted in the election of the following officers to guide the class for the ensuing year: President, Paul Crowther; vice president, Edna North; secre- tary, Esther Entwisle; treasurer, Minshall Hold- en. Several of the letter men on the football, bas- ketball and baseball teams were members of our class. Besides being represented on these teams, there were class teams for all the different sports. The class football team won several games from out-of-town schools. After the Seniors had won two debates and we had won the same number in the Literary So- ciety, the final one to decide the championship was held before the public on April 30, 1915. Our class was represented by John Hay. captain; Watson Tongue, William Irwin and Edwin Pike. The debate was a thriller from beginning to end and the speakers were often interrupted by ap- plause from the audience. After considering the arguments of both sides, the judges decided in favor of the Senior team. The spring Arbor Day exercises were held in the assembly room before the entire school. Pres- ident Crowther was in charge. The exercises were of the usual high degree with every person ac- quitting himself with due honors. The Swarthmore Musical Clubs were present- ed to the people of Chester by the Nineteen Six- teen class. It was the first entertainment that- had been attempted by our class. It was a suc- cess from every side; the entertainment was ex- ceptionally fine, and the money derived from it will go toward purchasing a memorial to be placed in the school to commemorate the class of Nine- teen Sixteen. The initial appearance and performance of the Nineteen Sixteen class was on Friday even- ing. May 28. 1915, at the Junior Recital. A very Seventy-one CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN History of the (Class of HUG (CONTINUED) delightful program was rendered; several of the best speakers of the class presented selections that were very pleasing to the audience; the so- loists, both vocal and instrumental, were ap- plauded for their splendid work, while the class chorus was all that could be desired. Considering both the meritorious and social sides of school life. Nineteen Sixteen bids fair to overlap all the others in the remaining year that we will be in Chester High, before we are grad- uated, sorry to leave, but appreciating the value of the knowledge which we have received in the four years.

Said Freshmen were destined to become the immortal class of 1917. I will not dwell longer upon the scene, but will say that a number of us partook of our food from the mantel-piece for a few days thereafter, owing to the paddles ably wielded by the upper classmen. We drifted along until November 10. when our class organized; something which had here- tofore been considered unusual for even a second year class. Brown and White were chosen for our class colors and the following officers were elected: Charles Larkin, president; Kathryn Jones, vice president; Morton Daller, secretary; Irma McLean, treasurer. These officers safely conducted our class over that dreaded first year, when everyone calls you a “Preside”. Our difficulties were many, for when the first football game had been played, the three upper classes gave their respective yells, but, alas for the poor Presides!—we had no yell. As it is the usual custom for the first-year class to conduct the Flag Day exercises, ours was no exception. The program was the best of its kind ever presented on the Chester High School platform, clearly indicating that we have some promising material. The singing was ex- ceptionally good. Then when baseball season rolled around, three of our classmates succeeded in getting on the team. While we made a brave attempt in the inter- class track meet, we died hard, scoring the few- est number of points. However, our class teams more than atoned for this defeat by their subse- quent victories. While our class demonstrated its fine athletic Seventy six 1917. CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Iristoru of the Class of 1917 Li (CONTINUED) : ability, it also showed that it was not behind in scholastic work, by having a very large majority of its members pass the examinations in June, and consequently there were many happy hearts during the summer months. Then in September we returned, to begin our second year’s work. Officers were chosen for the ensuing year. W hen the football call was sound- ed, many of the boys responded and several were successful in earning positions on the team. In this respect our class team also made an admir- able showing; then when basketball displaced football, members of our class figured in some of the victories gained. But it was the girls’ bas- ketball team that completely vanquished the other girls’ teams, and won for the class of Nine- teen Seventeen the championship of the school. Like all distinguished classes, Seventeen con- tains a few musical geniuses, but this is not un- usual. as Miss Ross will testify that we are all remarkable singers. With the noble assistance of five of our class, the 1915 baseball team is establishing a record which will be remembered for years to come. Al- so next year’s football captain is a member of our class. During the two years we have attended dear old C. H. S., we have had many treats of var- ious sorts, including trips to adjacent fields and a journey to the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens to assist in our study of biology. In February the mid-year promotions took place, and although a few pupils were compelled to begin anew, the outcome was agreeable to most of us. During our Sophomore year, our class con- ducted the Peace Day exercises and it suffices to say that they acquitted themselves admirably. Now while we are only in our Sophomore year and have two more years to complete be- fore we receive our roll of parchment, we hope that they will pass as successfully as the first two, and may the Brown and White always stand for one of the best, if not the best class, that ever graduated from the Chester High School. Frank Marion Barsby. Seventy-seven FEBRUARY, 18. CLASS CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN IN the early part of February, 1914, about twenty-four boys and girls were promoted from the different grammar schools of the city. This is the first class that has ever en- tered the portals of High School in the middle of the term. Owing to the small number of the class, there has been no active participation in the school athletics. We have great hopes for the further development of our boys and girls as the class increases in number, and we arc sure that they will become a credit to the school. Upon entering the school in the fall term, we soon found it necessary to organize. In the early part of November we held a meeting for the purpose of electing officers and deciding the matter of dues and class colors. The officers are as follows: Edward Clyde, president; Eliz- abeth Graham, vice president; Margaret Harri- son, secretary, and Robert Riley, treasurer.

We have a great many capable students, and they promise to be able to reach the good ideals which they have adopted. The ’18 class was the first class to enter the school under the new system of marking. The history of our class began with the elec- tion of officers on October 18. Then a struggle arose between the boys and girls about the class colors. The debate lasted until November 20. when the colors Red and Blue were selected. On Friday evening, November 20, the Senior recep- tion to the Freshmen was held. The walls and blackboards were abundantly supplied with ma- terial for inspection by the parents of the pupils of the Freshman class. The entertaining pro- gram was enjoyed by all who attended. Many interesting illustrated lectures for both English and German Freshman classes were given. As a class the Freshmen fully enjoyed the entertain- ments given by the different classes of the Ches- ter High School, especially the Christmas sketch and Mr. Bob.” Public speaking class was the only class that we dreaded. Most of the pupils remarked most emphatically that they would “rather take a shower bath on the coldest day of winter, than get up before the class and recite ‘baby-talk.’ ” The Freshman music class is the best class in three years, and it promises exceedingly good quartette work for the future. In athletics the Freshman class ranks well in all phases of sport. Two of the Freshman boys were on the Varsity football team: Philip Sween- uaiiaiaiaian Eighty-five CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN Jiisioni of tljc Class of ’18 (CONTINUED) cv and William Davis. The boys’ basketball team and the girls’ basketball team were defeat- ed at all games they played, but they have an- other and better chance next year to show Ches- ter High what they can do. Dorothy Eschbach was the only Freshman on the basketball team. The Freshmen made a good showing at the in- door meet between Sophomores and Freshmen. Then the baseball season slipped around, and the Freshmen have a good team. The members of the baseball team are: Warren Ogden, William Leonard, George Turner, Raymond Cheney, Le- roy Seney, William Crothers, Ralph Christy, Philip Sweeney, Albert Chadwick, Carl Kriebel and John Stainton. Warren Ogden especially promises to do something in athletics for our class in the future. The first baseball game be- tween the Freshmen and Junior team was won by the Freshmen, the score being 15-5. The team promises to do good work for the years to come. We hope that there will be enough per- sons interested in tennis so that we may have a few people on the team. The class song was composed by Anna Uff and Dorothy Eschbach and it proved to be a success, as it was appreciated by all the members of the class. The Freshman class is also a great help to the Social Service Society of the C. II. S., particularly from the financial standpoint. We have supplied the Spectrum with good material under the division of “Wit and Humor.” We have also made a good showing for subscriptions to the Spectrum. Naturally, as a class, we have our class cur- iosities: Leonard Rosenthal, in search of a remedy for good health ; Marian Way and Mary Smith, seeking a medium height; Sproul Lewis and Morton Armstrong, twin jesters of the first- class standard; Helen Marker, poetess, in search of new material; star Latin student, Malcolm McCain, seeking advice for explanation; Mary Doherty, an excellent arbiter of elegance in Eighty ix CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN History of the Class of ’18 (CONTINUED) search of a remedy for conceit; Ann Reilley, re- nowned historian of the “Century of Odds and Ends”; Ralph Drake, professional visioner; Mut and Jeff of our class, Norman Kane and John Smith. In all, the class of Nineteen Eighteen has just passed one happy year of four and will pass the next three years more successfully than the first. We appreciate the help of the teachers, in ex- plaining many points over which we were very greatly puzzled. We also look forward to a day in a far-off June when a white parchment tied with Orange and Black shall be presented to us, and we shall have only the beautiful thought and remembrance of Chester High School.

Tague Vice President Bernice M. Lowell Secretary ON the bright sunny morning of September 8. 1913, forty-six of us came into the Chester High School to begin a two-year course of preparation for the business world. Of course the Seniors looked on us all as “greenies,” but it was our part to show them what we were. In November, 1913, the Seniors gave a reception to the Freshmen. We were requested to invite our parents and friends, who were con- ducted through the building the first part of the evening and entertained in the assembly room later, by the Seniors. Everything went on smoothly during our Freshman year, both boys and girls taking an active part in athletics. Bv September 8. 1914, there were thirty-four of us to complete the course. Harold Hughes, the president of the class, who will take post-graduate work, has been elect- ed captain of the football team for next year. It is the first time a captain has been selected from the Commercial Department. Our girls play ten- nis and indulge in other athletic sports, and each one belongs to the Social Service Society of the High School. On September 22. 1914, we organized as a class, choosing for our colors peacock blue and white. On October 15, 1914. we had a chestnut hunt. Miss Walt acting as a chaperon and Helena Shaw, a member of our class, as a guide. Nov- ember 9, 1914. we received our rings and pins. The only thing that detracted from our pleas- ure during the two years was the loss of our be- loved teacher, Miss A. X. Griffith, principal of the Commercial Department, who became Mrs. Wistar Thompson. However, we did not allow Kitfhty-nine CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN iiistoru of %' OJomnuTcial Class of 1915 (CONTINUED) our thoughts to dwell upon this, preferring rather to rejoice with her in her new-found happiness. We expressed some of our good wishes in pre- senting her with a handsome cut-glass vase for her new home. At the time of presentation one of the girls provided a beautiful bunch of roses to accompany the vase. We are the first class that has ever held de- bates in Commercial English, and they have proved a wonderful success. We delight to take notes at Miss Walt’s dictation and transcribe these notes to the cheerful click of the typewrit- er. After the mid-year examinations, Miss Stet- ser and Miss Manwaring were welcomed as new members of the faculty of the Commercial De- partment. John Boyle, one of the members of our class, has already accepted a position. Many of the girls have done work for the different teachers and have succeeded very well. We often wonder if the six girls known as the ‘‘Jolly Six,” who are such devoted friends, will in the future place such an interest in each other as they have done this year. As we now say good-bye to our Alma Mater, we wish to say that our class has become greatly attached to our work, our teachers, and our school, and we all leave with a hearty wish that the next class will be as great a class as old 1915.

We had a very exciting time at first, going to the wrong room and getting into the wrong classes. This did not last long, however, and before we knew it we were down to hard work. In November the Seniors gave a reception for the Freshmen. This was to give them an oppor- tunity to bring their parents and friends, that they might see the school, and be introduced to the teachers. After the visitors had been guided over the building and shown exhibits of work in bookkeeping, typewriting, business forms, English, etc., all were invited to the assembly room, where they enjoyed a delightful entertain- ment provided by the Seniors. Shortly before Christmas, the head of the Commercial Department left to be married. We were very sorry to see Miss Griffith go. but we knew it was for her happiness. Miss Manwar- ing took her bookkeeping classes. In February Miss Stetser took the newly-formed classes. Our class, because there are so few boys, has not been well represented in athletics this year, but we hope next year to be first in everything. William Davis, one of our boys, won a C in foot- ball. At the end of the first semester very few had to take the finals, but nearly all who did passed. The Ninth Commercial class is represented on the Spectrum Board by Jacob Davis. We are now working very hard, and looking eagerly to- ward June, when we hope to pass creditably into the tenth grade. Mary E. Kane. Ninety-two MERCI AL. X ° CUbOn.

CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN spectrum: l elnc(u nf 1914-’ 15 KEEPING in mind the faet that a High School paper is the voice of the school, and is the representative by which other schools judge our character and stand- ing, the editors have, this year, endeavored to make the “Spectrum” a true representative of the spirit and life of the Chester High School. To keep up with the increase in the number of students enrolled, we have enlarged our school paper, replenished it with new departments and cuts, and tried to make it a credit to Chester High School. Although we have not so large a circulation as a school of our size should warrant, still the subscription list shows an increase in the spirit, on the part of the students, of knowing that it is their duty to support all of the school activities. Following the practice of preceding years, the Spectrum again offered two silver loving cups as prizes for the annual Girls’ Oratorical Contest. This is one of the many ways in which the Spectrum benefits the school. At the end of each year, the nine numbers issued are bound in one volume. These volumes are retained and are the only means by which the memories of school activities are preserved. These volumes form excellent school histories and are one of the ways in which the marked progress and advancement can be seen. Besides being a success, “periodically” speak- ing, the Spectrum has also been financially fa- vored, and now stands on a stronger financial basis than ever before. Besides issuing this year’s publication successfully, the managers have a substantial sum to turn over to next year’s board. Thus terminates the fifteenth successful year of the Chester High School’s oldest institution. The board of 1915 extends its most hearty wishes that a successful year may be granted to the new board. Let it still improve the school publica- tion; let it further its high standard to coincide with that of the school, ever voicing in their ar- ticles and editorials, the real spirit of success— the true spirit of Chester High School.

Julian Courtney Louie Bell John Hay THE Literary Society has had a very prof- itable year. Instead of having the meet- ings every two weeks, there has been a meeting every week this year. This has given nearly every member a chance to take some part. On October 30, the first of a series of inter- class debates was held. The proposition was, “Resolved. That the United States should own and operate her merchant marine.” The affir- mative was upheld by the class of 1916, the team consisting of Watson Tongue, captain; Miriam Buchlein, first associate; William Irwin, second associate. The 1915 team, composed of Charles Johnson, captain; Beatrice Yoorhees, first asso- ciate; John Ogden, second associate, upheld the negative. The judges, Miss Hepworth, Miss Jackson and Mr. Lowry, decided in favor of the Seniors. The second interclass debate was held on De- cember 7. The proposition was. “Unpaid convict labor is slavery and should be abolished in the United States.” The Junior team, Irwin Hamil- ton, captain; Doris Valentine, first associate; Leon Bagshaw, second associate, took the affir- mative. The negative was upheld by the Seniors, Malcolm Hodge, captain; Nora Thompson, first associate; Harry Sapovits, second associate. The judges. Mr. Rennie, Miss Doherty and Mr. Boell, decided in favor of the Senior team. On January 15, the third interclass debate was held. The proposition was, “Resolved, The Ninety nine CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

The judges, Miss Hepworth, Mr. Rennie and Mr. Lowry, decided in favor of the affirmative. The fourth interclass debate was held on January 26. The proposition was, “Resolved, The United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine.” The Seniors upheld the affirmative, the team consisting of Edgar Palmer, captain; Alice Lee, first associate; Edward Beatty, second associate. The Junior team consisted of Wayne Hamilton, captain; Loise Ellery, first associate; James Daley, second associate. The judges. Miss Birtwell, Miss Doherty and Mr. Wollaston, de- cided in favor of the negative. On the evening of March 30. the long antici- pated public debate was held. This decided whether the class of 1915 or the class of 1916 should be champions in debating for this year. To make the occasion more interesting, Mr. Hof- facker. of Norwood, Pa., presented a silver loving cup to the school. The class winning the series of debates is entitled to have its numerals put on the cup. The proposition was, “Resolved, The United States should own and operate her mer- chant marine.” The affirmative was upheld by the class of 1915: Malcolm Hodge, captain; Harry Sapovits, first associate; Charles John- son. second associate; Robert Stinson, alternate. The negative was defended by the class of 1916: John Hay, captain; Watson Tongue- first asso- ciate; William Irwin, second associate; Edwin Pike, alternate.

The class of 1915 is proud of its de- bating team, and also esteems it a great honor to be the first class to have its numerals placed on the cup. One Hundred SOCET SCENE FROM MR. BOM CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN ••MHimiimiMmiiiaMiiiiMaMMiiMimHiMimaiiimiMii Dramatic j nrictu, HT14-M5 Homer Berry President Edward Beatty Vice President Sara Tweltridge Secretary and Treasurer ANEW society was organized from the members of the two upper classes who have shown willingness to take part in dramatic productions. This not only gives the members more practice in public speak- ing, but it also enables the society to present standard plays to the Chester public. On the evening of November 6, the Dramatic Society made its first appearance. Rustic scenes from Shakespeare’s comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” were presented by members of the society for the benefit of the shoe fund. Un- der the splendid coaching of Miss Doyle, Miss Williams and Homer Berry, the presentation was a great success. The graceful dancing of the fairies, the cunning tricks of Puck, the pa- thetic death of Thisbe and his sweetheart, the magnificence of the Duke and his train, kept the audience in a high state of laughter all evening. The deaf and dumb quartette with its funny an- tics also deserves great credit. The Dramatic Society entertained the school on the afternoon of December 24, with an inter- esting program. The prettily decorated Christ- mas tree, crowned with the numerals ’15. was the gift of the Senior class to the school, and it was admired by all who saw it. The program was as follows: Singing, “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” Boys’ Glee Club; violin solo, “Trau- meri,” Louis Rosenberg; sketch, “On Christmas Eve,” members of society. The play was well given and those that took part deserve much credit. On the evening of May 14. the Dramatic So- ciety made its second appearance before the pub- lic. For the benefit of the Boys’ Athletic Asso- ciation, the play, “Mr. Bob” (Rachel Baker), was given. Owing to the efforts of Miss Doyle, Mr. Boell and Homer Berry, the play was a very great success. All those present agree that the play was well presented, and that the partici- pants are to be congratulated on their work.

The third and fourth year German students are admitted to membership. The purpose of this Verein is to Rive German students more practice in conversa- tional German. On the afternoon of December 17. members of the Verein presented an interesting Christmas program, to which all German students were in- vited. The most attractive feature was a talk bv Fraulein Lowe of Philadelphia. Fraulein Lowe told about the German customs at Christ- mas time and spoke in such plain German and so distinctly that all present cound understand, and enjoy her talk. The remainder of the pro- gram was as follows: Solo am Klavicr. Fraulein Jane Lindsay; Vorlesung, “Weinachts Ge- braucht,” Herr Hillyard Powell; chorus, “Stille Nacht,” Senior and Junior girls; deklamation, “Die Weihnachtsbaum,” Fraulein Miriam Buch- lein; solo. “Am Fruhlings Morgen,” Fraulein Jane Lindsay; Weilmaehtspiel, ‘ Der Christ- markt,” Fraulein Mildred Plumley, Fraulein Beatrice Voorhees, Fraulein Florence Mac- Glaughlin, Fraulein Elsie Vogel, Fraulein Helen Rony. It is hoped that this Verein will give the members a greater interest in German and give them a desire to continue using their German even after they leave school. The 1915 class hopes that 1910 will organize a Deutscher Ver- ein next year and that it will be even better than this year. At the end of January, the Sophomore class formed a Deutscher Verein of their own. They elected Raymond Zickel, president ; Ethel Wood, vice president; Morton Daller, secretary; Mil- dred Volkhardt, treasurer. At one of the meet- ings a “Kaffeeklatsch” was held. During this, an effort was made to converse entirely in German, while those present enjoyed the “Kaffee” and “Kin-hen which were provided by the commit- tee.

NINETEEN FIFTEEN daris’ Athletic JVssnriatiou Mary K. Walters, ’15 President Marian Ewing, '15 Vice President THE girls of the Chester High School eager to have an interest in physical training, formed an athletic association four years | ago. We started with little enthusiasm j on the part of most of the girls, hut a few showed the others the purpose of an athletic association, ] and all came in with their support. Two years j later the hard-wood floor was laid in the gym- nasium at the expense of the School Board. We had Mr. Carlton B. Sanford as physical director for three years. He aided us the best I he could with the few pieces of apparatus we possessed. Basketball was attempted the first year, but was not a success. Tennis has been | tried for the last three years, and has progressed well, the girls seeming to take much interest in | this outdoor game. W'e have much to be thankful for in having Miss Bertha B. Hepworth as our faculty repre- Secretary Treasurer sentative, who has stood by us through our suc- cesses and a few failures. This past year there has been more done in the way of athletics for girls than ever before. Miss Mabel E. Hyatt has instructed us in ap- paratus work and basketball on the fourth floor of the school, and tennis on the High School courts. Three times each week during the win- ter, different groups of girls assembled on the fourth floor for instruction. A gymnasium horse and gymnasium ladders were installed this year. These add greatly to our “so-called” gymnasium. Our bake was very successful and added a neat sum of money toward that amount which we hope some day to see used for purchasing more apparatus for our gymnasium. There has never been such determination and perseverance shown as there has been this year, among the girls.

But due to the earnestness of the girls with the assurance of our coach, that, “this was just the thing for us,” we managed to con- duct our exercises. Our coach originated a new kind of basket- ball. that which is played with one basket only— for we had room for only one basket—and with that ingenious power Miss Hyatt possesses, we played the game. We scheduled a game with ithe Wilmington High School girls, but they play with two baskets, and where were we to practice? Our coach came to our rescue and secured for us one of the finest basketball floors in this city. We practiced for three successive days, and on the fourth day journeyed to Wil- mington. Much of that same spirit that the boys have when playing against Wilmington High was inspired in the girls and they played with much the same ardor. After the hard-fought game and a look at that score, 6-4, in favor of Wil- mington, the girls came home with the feeling in their hearts that next year the score would be in favor of Chester. This year the girls entered the Y. M. C. A. Carnival and everyone spoke of what a fine showing the Chester High School girls made, and this certainly was true. All the girls who took gymnasium work en- joyed it greatly, and we heartily thank everyone who shows interest and appreciation in the ath- letics of the girls of the Chester High School. Up to this time the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion has assuredly been a success, and Nineteen Fifteen departs, leaving best wishes for all kinds of prosperity in the future.

Manager Kidd was a hard, faithful worker and a hustling manager. “Tip” was kept mighty busy hiring “cops,” lim- ing the field, putting up posts and poster?, cor- responding, licking postage stamps, keeping ac- counts, and other little incidentals relative to a manager’s job. “Jumbo” was also right there when it came to making stump speeches for the purpose of getting a large attendance and what follows—money. Leon Bagshaw, '16, was elected manager for the coming year and has already arranged an excellent schedule. Howard, T7, will act as his assistant. Manager Deakyne, of the basketball team, acting for the second year in that capacity, was wonderfully successful financially. “Dick turn- ed in to the A. A. coffers the largest sum that was ever realized by a Chester High School bas- ketball team and the second largest sum ever received by the treasury from any athletic team in the history of the school. The amount was $100.30, second only to Larkin's 1913 football receipts. Good work, “Dick!” Jack High, 16, who acted as assistant this year, has been elect- ed manager for next year, and Harvey, 17, will serve as his assistant. Maison, serving his second year as the track team manager, although not so much in evidence as the other managers, was, however, just as im- portant. Maison ran off the class meets in fine style and entered the men in all the important interscholastic meets in the vicinity. Maison engineered a trip to Harrisburg, the longest trip taken by any team in the history of the school. Included among his excellent schedule of meets was a dual meet between Chester and Wilming- ton, the first meet ever held between these two bitter rivals. Maison was fortunate in manag- ing the best track team in the history of Chester High School. One hundred and sixteen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Athletic Association, ■Oear of ’14-’15 (CONTINUED) Sapovits, like Maison, had the honor of man- aging Captain Ogden’s wonderful nine, the best in the school’s history. “Hock was a “peppery” manager, and, what may seem strange to former managers, has made money. This alone proves his ability. Hock” was a brilliant orator—his eloquence made us gasp at times. However, alas, toward the last, he degenerated into such slang as would make Dennis de Brian de Brown Finnegan green with envy. “Hock” had right “rope” in these speeches, and no doubt they did a great amount of good. Anyway, Sapovits had a right to talk, because he was backing a team that, in his own language, “could bring home the bacon.” Certain members of the Alumni gave a min- strel show and sketch in the Washburn Theatre May 3, for the benefit of the athletic field fund. About eighty dollars was realized. An athletic field will be a much needed asset in Chester High School athletics. These members of the Alumni, realizing the urgent necessity of athletic- grounds, sacrificed their time in order to start the undertaking. On May 14. a play, entitled “Mr. Bob,” was given under the auspices of the Dramatic So- ciety, in the auditorium of the school. This play was engineered and directed by Miss Doyle, Mr. Boell and Homer Berry. The proceeds, amount- ing to $80.86, were presented to the treasury of the Athletic Association.

One hundred and twenty-three CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Kriui'lu of Season (CONTINUED) On Saturday, November 14, for the third suc- cessive year, Chester High School went down to defeat before the Wilmington High School foot- ball team. The eleven was accompanied by two cars, packed and jammed with loyal Chester High School students. The game had the aspect of a college football game. The Wilmington sup- porters cm one side of the field, and the Chester followers on the opposite side, kept the air con- tinuously filled with cheers and songs. Wil- mington was strong and brilliant in every de- partment of the game; her forward passes were spectacular. Chester fought gamely, but were unable to stop the mighty rushes of the Wil- mington backs. No team that ever wore the Orange and Black wanted to win a game so much as Captain Robinson’s men wanted to win that game with Wilmington. Many a tear of regret was shed when the final whistle sounded, and the team realized that the goal they had been striv- ing for all year, the defeat of Wilmington, had not been accomplished. After the game, the hatchet was buried, and the Chester team spent a merry evening as the guest of the Wilmington eleven. In a well-played game, marked by exciting play, Vineland High School was defeated. In this game, Chester used the forward pass to great advantage. The season came to a close before the largest crowd of the year on Thanksgiving Day morn- ing, with Tolentine Academy as the opposing team. Tolentine scored a victory in this game. In the first half Chester rushed the ball to her opponent’s one-yard line, but failed to push it over for a touchdown. Thus Chester, for the second year, ended her football season inglorious- ly in defeat. Captain Robinson, a veteran of four hard seasons, and the only member of this year’s team who had the pleasure of playing on a Chester team that defeated Wilmington, was, with Can- avan, the bulwark of the line. “Robbie” and “Ing” played at tackles. Many touchdowns were One hundred and twenty-four CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Hi'lndu of Reason (CONTINUED) prevented by their hard slashing play. These two fellows were the backbone of the line. Rob- inson also proved to be a conscientious captain. “Lee” Crothers, at center, always put up a scrappy game. “Lee” was the third member of the dependable line trio. Chester was well supplied with five ends, Walker, Dolan, Weston, Fagan and Lebidine. Of these, Walker and Dolan were the best. “Yank” was a particularly sure and vicious tackier, al- ways getting his man. “Yank” ably filled the shoes of Fagan and Hewes, last year’s star ends. Dolan, although a little erratic, proved an excel- lent running mate for Walker. “Minnie” has two years ahead of him and should develop into a brilliant end rush. Weston’s forte was in receiv- ing forward passes. Sweeney, Larkin, Kirkman, Nolan and Ross all played in the guard positions at various times. Of these men, Sweeney, a Freshman, showed up the best. The guard positions caused Coach Bo- ell a great deal of worry during the entire sea- son. Hughes, at full-back, by his kicking, line plunging, open field running, defensive playing, and all-round ability, was the most valuable man in the backfield. Irwin, at quarter, was the speediest man in the squad, and particularly bril- liant in the open field. “Bill” was the best de- fensive back Chester has had in years. Flanni- gan was an expert at wriggling and twisting over precious yards. “Bob” played brilliantly on the defense in the Wilmington game and as a result was laid up by an injury for the rest of the sea- son. Smith, the fourth member of this quartet, was the champion line breaker. “Steve’s” as- saults would generally crumble the opposing line. Courtney, W. Davis and Parry were able sub- stitutes for any of the backfield men. The work of “Young” Robinson, Howard and Pritchard on the “scrub” team must not be over- looked. “Young Robbie’s” lack of weight was the only thing that kept him off the ’varsity. One hundred and twenty-live CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN lu'litriu of Reason (CONTINUED) Those that remain as a nucleus for Captain Hughes’ team are Captain Hughes, Irwin, Dolan, Larkin, Sweeney, W. Davis, Ross and Lebidine. One morning in assembly, Manager Kidd, in behalf of the football team, presented Mr. Boell with a gold football watch fob. The team did this in order to show their appreciation of the faithful coaching given them bv Mr. Boell dur- ing the entire season. On January 20, the annual football banquet was held at Reynolds’ Cafe. “Bob” Oglesby, the old High School coach, acted as toastmaster. The toasts were responded to by Captain Robin- son, Coach Boell, Manager Kidd, John J. Stet- ser, Esq., Mr. Harry M. McCoy and Mr. John E. Cullin, who kindly assisted Mr. Boell in coaching the team. J. Harold Hughes, ’17, was elected captain for the 1915 season by the letter men. Hughes is a veteran of two hard seasons. The class of 1915 takes this opportunity to wish Captain Hughes and Coach Boell the best possible success in turning out a team that can defeat Wilmington dick 'em worse than 30-0), and win the other games on the schedule.

One hundred and thirty CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL, NINETEEN FIFTEEN lu'lm'lu of Reason A ('CORDING to the sporting writers and “wise-guys,” the 1914-1915 Chester High School basketball season was la- beled unsuccessful. These “dopesters,” on the affirmative side of the question, give as their main argument that seven games were won and eleven were lost. They say, by the use of first-grade arithmetic, that less than one half of the scheduled games were won. The decision, rendered by the judges, was unanimous in favor of the affirmative. From the crack 1913-1914 five, only two men, Captain Smith and Robinson, remained to play this year. Coach Boell endeavored to develop the only real kind of basketball to play, the passing game. If the team failed to play this game at times, the coach cannot be blamed. We are confident that the classification of the sea- son was not due to poor coaching. Captain Smith, McEntee, Crothers, Ross, Walker, Robinson, Ogden, Weston, Jackson, Brown and Courtney played on the Varsity at various times. Captain Smith alternated be- tween center and forward. McEntee, Crothers, Jackson and Brown played forwards. Ross jumped center. The guards were Walker, Og- den, Weston, Robinson and Courtney. However, upon the “quituation” of some of these men, the final selection of a team found Captain Smith and McEntee at forwards; Ross at center; and Walker and Ogden at guards. In the opening game of the season, Swarth- more High School defeated Chester on the “Y” floor for the first time in her history. The shoot- ing of the Chester team was very erratic and their passing easily broken up, while the Swarthmore five passed and shot well. On De- cember 23. in a game marked by the ragged shooting of the Chester team, Kennett Square High School was defeated.

January 6. At the end of the first half, Lansdowne led. 20-15. Chester braced in the second half and in a brilliant spurt at the finish forged ahead and registered a victory, 34- 32. Captain Livingstone, of Lansdowne, al- though much taller than Captain Smith, was out- jumped by “Steve” almost every time. Smith also shot fouls consistently. Walker and Weston guarded well. In a “hard luck” game, Roman Catholic High School overcame Chester's lead in the closing minutes of play and won by a close margin. The work of Captain Smith was particularly brilliant in this game. Smith scored 28 of his team’s to- tal of 30 points. He registered 24 points from the foul goal line and scored two sensational field goals. The strong School of Pedagogy five defeated Chester on the “Y” floor, January 20. The ab- sence of the “pep” and necessary team work wrecked the Chester team. Central High School, of Philadelphia, one of the best fives in scholas- tic rank, defeated Chester, January 27. Captain Smith went into the Chester lineup in the last half, and scored ten goals from the 15-foot mark, and two field goals. Before a record-breaking crowd on the Y. M. C. A. floor, the first of the Wilmington High School games was lost. 36-25. It was a typical Chester-Wilmington game, except in the fact that Chester lost. Captain Smith scored 19 of his team’s 25 points. Between halves, the Wil- mington second team defeated the Chester sec- ond team in a close game, marked by an excit- ing finish.

Camden High School defeated Chester, 45-26, February 24, in a game featured by the work of Walker and Ross. Although Chester fought a plucky uphill battle, they were unable to overcome the lead gained by West Chester High School in the early minutes of the game, and lost, 28-23, on February 27. Playing a much improved game, Chester cap- tured the third game from Swarthmore High School, 30-23, and won the series, having taken two out of three games. Captain Smith, Ross and MeEntee put up a splendid offensive game, while Walker and Ogden gave an excellent exhib- ition of defensive play. Chester continued their good playing and de- feated Wilmington Friends’ School, 37-33, on the “Y” floor, Saturday night, March 6, before a large crowd. Chester played a splendid passing game. Captain Smith threw thirteen foul goals and MeEntee scored six clean baskets. The Chester High School second team again defeated Wilmington Friends’ second team, 23-16. After this game, Chester stock went booming for a victory over Wilmington High. If we had won that game the season would have been consid- ered successful. One hundred and thirty-three CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN lu'Otriu of Season (CONTINUED) March 12 was the fatal date—Wilmington High School, 44; Chester High School, 22. The team was accompanied to Wilmington by a car packed and jammed with loyal students. A rec- ord-breaking crowd filled the Wilmington gym- nasium. Although Wilmington always maintained a slight lead, the first half was close and exciting. Just after the beginning of the game. Walker collided with I)unn in a scramble for the ball and received a nasty cut over the eye. After it was bandaged, Walker pluckily resumed the game with blood streaming down his face. In the second half, Captain Smith was forced to play guard on account of Walker’s injury, while Brown played forward in Smith’s place. In this half, Wilmington scored heavily, while Chester collected only seven points. Chester’s total came as a result of Captain Smith’s four field goals and eight fouls and Ross’s three field goals. The Wilmington second team defeated Chester, 29- 17. Walker and Ogden were a hard pair of guards for any forward to “buck up” against. Walker was a “sticker,” clinging to his man like the ivy on the wall. Ogden’s speed and ranginess were his great assets. “Rube” used his pitching knowledge to good advantage in pass- ing the ball. Wilson Ross was elected captain by the let- ter men for the 1915-1916 season. A strong team should be developed with himself, Jackson and Brown, from this year’s team, as a nucleus. The class of 1915 congratulates Captain Ross and hopes that he, with the aid of Coach Boell, will lead the best team in scholastic ranks, and a team that will reek sweet, sweet revenge from Wilmington for this year’s defeats. McEntee, the diminutive forward, was the keenest shot from the floor of any member of the team. “Joe’s” eye at times was “uncanny.” Ross, at center, played an excellent floor game, shot well, and jumped his position in good style. Ross was an “all-round” man. One hundred and thirty-four C. H. S. BASEBALL TEAM. 1914-15 CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL , NINETEEN FIFTEEN Baseball (Leant Captain Manager John M.

If you will note carefully the number of games won and lost, you can easily imag- ine the feelings of every loyal supporter and wor- shiper of the team. But how could the record be otherwise with such a team of players as ours? Two pitchers who average about fifteen strike- outs a game, and one that punches out a home run almost every game; an infield that can han- dle the ball like a streak of greased lightning; and an outfield that can cover a fly anywhere on the field—this composes our team. Ogden and Johnson are both pitching wonderful ball, and Hughes, playing behind the bat, is holding them up in fine style. The infield, composed of Smith, Sykes, Waters, and Larkin, are fielding almost faultlessly and punching out their hits in bunch- es that augurs ill for the opposing team. During the early part of the season, the first sack was covered by Cheney, who starred both in fielding and batting. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave school, and we lost a valuable player. Lee, Swimmer and Nolan, playing the outfield, are also fielding well. Taken as a whole, it is a wonderful team, one that reflects much credit on Mr. Boell, who is responsible for its development. Manager Sapovits arranged a fine schedule, covering some of the strongest teams in this sec- tion of the country. “Sap” deserves a large amount of credit, for by his excellent work, it looks as though he will do the impossible, since instead of falling into a deep hole, the baseball team is actually making money. The victories to date are two over Media and Ridley Park, and one over Kennett Square, Swarthmore College Reserves, Roman Catholic High School, Wilmington Friends’ School, Sales- ianum High School, of Wilmington, Camden High School, Wilmington High School, and West Chester High School. The only defeats register- ed against us are West Chester and Phoenix- ville. The first game with Media resolved itself in- to a pitchers’ battle; but Chester managed to One hundred and thirty-nine CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN JRcfrtriu of % Reason (CONTINUED) gather in one tally, while Media failed to score. The second one was an easy victory for Chester to the tune of 7 to 1. In the first game with Ridley Park, Johnson pitched a fine game while Ogden covered second base. Ogden tried some big league stuff with the stick by driving out a three-bagger and a home run. The second game can appropriately be termed the “comedy of errors,” for the whole game abounded in them. However, by persistent effort, Chester succeeded in winning out by the score of 8 to 7. Catholic High School came down fresh from defeating Central High School the preceding day, but they in turn went down to defeat be- fore our own splendid team. “Jawn” Ogden made another clout for the circuit, making three in as many games. The height of our ambition wTas reached on Wednesday, May 26, when we administered a crushing defeat to our old rival, Wilmington High School, and followed that up two days later by overthrowing West Chester High School. From the beginning of the baseball season, the one big game, the climax of the season, looked forward to by coach and players was the Wil- mington game. All felt the sting of the football and basketball defeats and all resolved to play in this game as they had never played before. And they did. Captain Ogden did the pitching and had so much smoke and stuff on the ball that the “Chicks” couldn't see it. “Steve” Smith was back in the game, and besides playing a great game on the first sack, he came across with several timely hits. Sykes, Ogden, Larkin and Hughes also punched out hits at opportune times, making a total of seven against only three ob- tained by Wilmington. Lee and Swimmer field- ed well, each one spoiling a long slam by making a great running catch. Johnson performed some excellent twirling against West Chester, while Ogden played left field. Our team showed that they were really better than West Chester and that the other game was only a fluke. Ogden, Smith, Waters and Swimmer slammed out the hits that won the game.

One hundred and forty-three CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Ixcfiieht of the Season THE track season, 100 per cent. pure. Good, did you say? Well, rather. In other words, we have a track team this year unequaled by that of any previous year. A relay team and a miler that have placed in every meet entered. Also a good sprinter, a high jumper, and a pole vaulter. This is the sub- stance of the team. And yet, how many times was a team of about twenty entries almost scared out of their boots by even these few! The results of six meets entered by the relay team are three first places, two second places, and one third place. The results of six meets entered by Edward McLaughlin are two first places, two second places and two third places. Holmes, our sprinter, succeeded in winning two second places, and one third, while Fagan and Crothers captured third place in the high jump and pole vault respectively. This brings the to- tal number of trophies up to nine silver cups and nineteen medals. As there are several more meets left on the schedule, it is quite probable that this list will be considerably increased be- fore the close of the season. One of the chief reasons for this excellent showing is the good work of the coaches. For the first time the track team has not been handicapped by the lack of experienced coaches. Mr. Humphries, of Nor- wood, acted as coach for the field events and sprints, and Mr. Swartz for the distance runs. After an early start, the following team was chosen to represent the school at the Meadow- brook races on March 13th: Walt Irwin (1), Deakyne (2), William Irwin (3), and McLaugh- lin (4). In spite of the fact that we were run- ning against such fast teams as Central High School, Northeast High School and Mercersburg Academy, our team captured third place. The next week the team was strengthened by the addition of Walker, who had been playing basketball. New try-outs were held and the following were picked for the permanent relay team: Walker (li. William Irwin (2), Deakyne (3), and Walt Irwin (4i. Edward McLaughlin then devoted all of his time to the distance runs. At the University of Pennsylvania relay Car- nival our team was barely nosed out of first place by the strong Cheltenham High School team. One hundred and forty-four CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN JL'hiriu of Reason (CONTINUED) This is the first time in the history of the High School that our relay team has won second place at Penn. On May 1, we entered the meet held on the Swarthmore College athletic field. Here our relay team had little trouble in getting first place, beating out Lansdowne and West Phila- delphia by a comfortable margin. Eddie Mc- Laughlin, running his first mile race, won third place. The following week at Glen Mills, the relay team again captured first place after a hard struggle with Radnor High School. Eddie McLaughlin won second place in the mile run af- ter making a game fight for first. Here Holmes, a little Freshman, made his debut as “Drew, the Second ’ by winning second place in the hundred and two hundred and twenty yard dashes. On May 15, the team journeyed to Delaware College, Newark. Here every man entered took a place and it was only because of our small number of entries that v e did not bring home the banner. Eddie McLaughlin had little trouble in winning the mile run, lowering the college record about ten seconds. Incidentally, he also took second in the half-mile. Fagan, Crothers, and Holmes captured third places in the high jump, pole vault and hundred-yard dash respectively. The relay team scored a particularly sweet victory by getting first place, over Wilmington High School. Wilmington Friends’ School and several others. Through the generous support of the school, the relay team and Edward McLaughlin were enabled to go to the Pennsylvania High School championship races, held at Harrisburg, May 22. Accompanied by Mr. Smedley and Mr. Boell, the team left Chester on Friday afternoon. Arriv- ing at Carlisle, they proceeded to a fraternity house at Dickinson College, where they were en- tertained over Friday and Saturday nights. On Saturday morning a trip was taken through the Capitol and other places of interest at Harris- burg. In spite of the rain which had been fall- ing all morning, the races were started at two o’- clock. As this was Chester’s first appearance in Harrisburg, few people recognized them until they were awakened by the sensational running One hundred and forty-five CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN K durlu of the Season (y (CONTINUED of McLaughlin in the mile. He won this event handily, and after only a few minutes’ rest en- tered the two-mile race and captured third prize. The relay team placed second after a terrific fight with Harrisburg Technical School for first. Captain Irwin gave a splendid exhibition of run- ning in this race, as he was beaten by the Tech- nical runner by only a few feet after starting about five yards behind him. The following day the boys went to Gettysburg and rode over the battlefield, visiting all the places of interest. This trip was not only helpful in that it enabled the boys to visit the most famous historical and political spots in the State, but it also taught the people of Harrisburg that there is a place named Chester. Of course, such an excellent record would have been impossible had not manager Maison done his share by arranging the best schedule ever offered to a track team. This schedule cov- ered every important meet in this part of the country; several of which had never been en- tered by a Chester team before. He also suc- ceeded in arranging a dual meet with Wilming- ton High School, something never before at- tempted. We hope that this meet will be estab- lished as an annual event, such as the football and baseball games. Not only has the past season been most suc- cessful in winning races, but it has also developed valuable material for future years. Holmes has three years ahead of him and should develop in- to a wonderful sprinter. William Irwin and Price are both good men and should form the nu- cleus of a winning relay team. Editor’s Note—Since the “ Annual ” has gone to press, we are glad to record that C. H. S. defeated Wilmington H. S., in baseball 3 to 1 and in the first dual track meet 60 to 20 bringing home the silver trophy, and 8 out of the 10 first place medals.

NINETEEN FIFTEEN (Cross Cmtntru The Chester High School cross country team (“Eddie” McLaugh- lin! was an excellent one. This was the first year that Chester has ever staged any dual runs. They were held with Roman Catholic High School and Southern High School. Mr. Joseph Swartz, national junior cross country champion, very kind- ly coached the men. Captain Mc- Laughlin, Maison, Silcox. Kidd, McEntee, G. Deakyne, Lee and Holden composed the team. On November 20, Roman Catholic High School defeated Chester 19- 36. McLaughlin ran a pretty race and finished second. On November 25, the annual handicap cross country run was held. Mr. Smcd- lev originated this run several years ago and gives the prizes. Mc- Laughlin proved his wonderful ability in running from scratch and winning a prize for first place and also a time prize. Lee and Maison C. H. S. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM One hundred and forty-seven CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN FIFTEEN Cross Country (CONTINUED) won prizes for second and third respectively. On December 4, Southern High School, of Philadel- phia, won an exciting and closely contested run by a 22-23 score. Captain McLaughlin defeated Wasserman, the Southern crack (“pride of the Philadelphia schools”), by fourteen seconds. “Eddie” ran a beautiful race, breaking the rec- ord for the course of 3i miles. His time was 20:45. So ended the season of an excellent cross country team. It is notable in the fact that it unearthed a star in the person of Captain “Ed- die McLaughlin. McLaughlin, Maison, Silcox, Kidd and McEntee will be lost by graduation. Deakyne, Lee and Holden will remain to run next year. As a reward for his excellent work, Captain McLaughlin was awarded his “C.” One hundred and forty-eight CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.
