NINETEEN SIXTEEN JJrrfarr In following out tin custom set by the classes of 1914 and 1915, we, the class of 1916, issue this, our Annual of Chester High School, believing that this means of putting forth the record of the Senior Class and its members and preserving the achievements of the school, especially the “Wilmington Game,” will interest the entire school, not only the Seniors. We are grateful to the class who has given the start and the class who seconded the example, for by their pioneer work are we able to broaden the path. We also wish success to the class of 1917 and each class in publishing the Annual. It is our earnest hope that each Annual will Ik superior to its predecessor, and faster tin spirit of “never failing, always winning for dear old Chester High School.” We thank the school for the loyal support and encouragement it has given us. and are truly thankful to the business men of Chester, who. in a large measure, insured the success of the 1916 Annual.

It has also been shown that no determinations were ever so fully realized and convictions so faithfully pursued as in the case of Sixteen. It is by varied incidents that we all remember Secretary Mary Melville Treasurer A. Watson Tongue the ninth of September. 1912. Freshmen were never so scarce before. Fntil the first of November, 1912. most of us had as fine a sense of direction in the corridors of Chester High as we would have had in the “catacombs.” On that evening we. with our parents, were entertained by the Seniors. All spent a most enjoyable evening. Henceforth we felt ourselves a real part and factor of the school and its work. Sixteen’s first achievement and one that augured well for the future of the class along scholastic lines was the winning of the prize for the highest girl student’s record by a member of our class. Not only in scholastics, but in ath- letics, too. the first sign of Sixteen’s future supremacy was displayed in the winning of second place in the annual cross country run by a Sixteen man. For a Freshman to place in such a race was a hitherto unheard of feat. Following tlx custom inaugurated by the Fifteen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN Hiaturu nf thr (£lass uf 19 IB (continued) procediii classes. Sixteen had charge of the “ Flag Day” exercises, and again ae(|iiitted her- self with honor. Every member, whether he took an individual part in the exercises or in the class numbers, displayed that excellent school spirit characteristic of Sixteen. Vacation came, and was gone, and with one year’s experience we en- tered upon our Sophomore work, slightly dimin- ished in numbers, but certainly not in spirit. It was with great sadness that we missed one friend and classmate, claimed by “The Great Teacher.” Almost immediately after the opening of the school. Sixteen held a meeting, the purpose of which was organization and the selection of of- ficers. Irvin Hamilton was chosen president; Louise Evans, vice president; Madaline Prosser, secretary, and James Waters, treasurer. In order to provide some means of identify- ing and distinguishing the masculine portion of the class, hats, at least resemblances of hats, were procured. Although the passage of one of these models of style and aristocracy never failed to evoke a shout of laughter from the other class- men, it was with a great deal of pride that we wore them. When the time for the various sports came. Sixteen always had her own team, besides placing several members on the Varsity squads. The proceeds of the class football games were given to the shower bath fund, and ma- uiilod in acciuirintr this much needed convenience. As spring approached. Sixteen became con- spicuous hv her successful raids upon the Fresh- men’s baseball games. Fearing for the little ones’ safety, the Juniors threw the ball upon a neighboring roof, thus bringing upon them- selves the undying hatred of Sixteen. Spring and summer had a peculiar effect upon some of us. and turned our fancies towards harmonics in general, and noise in particular. Owing to the inability of certain persons to ap- preciate such talent and to the disappearance of quantities of fruit from the little store on the corner, the “cellar door choir” was dis- continued. With the advent of Peace Day. we. as Sopho- mores. presented one of the most pleasing and instructive programs ever given from the High School platform. .Nothing hut praise was heard from those who had the pleasure of listening. Sixteen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN History of thr (Elaea of lUlfi (continued) The day following flu close of school in June, found us on our first class picnic. We left early in the morning for Burlington Island Park, and after a very strenuous hut altogether pleasing day. returned home late at night. It was apparent that no one had ever spent such an enjoyable day as that before. Once more vacation was gone, and we came hack to school in September resolved to do. but not die. Tin first matter to he considered after tin entrance upon tin third year of our school career was the reorganization of our class. The following officers were elected to officially guide the class for the ensuing year: President, Paul Crowther; vice president, Kdna North; secre- tary. Esther Entwisle; treasurer, Miushall Holden. This year Sixteen was fortunate in placing several letter men on the football, baseball and basketball teams, besides forming the second teams almost entirely. The class football team won several games from outside teams, and the class baseball season was highly successful finan- cially—the total receipts being thirty-five cents. The evening of April 30. 1915, was one of great importance for Sixteen. The Seniors had won two debates and we had won the same num- ber. The final contest to decide the champion- ship of the school was open to the public; and before a large audience tin Seniors defeated our team, consisting of John Hay. Watson Tongue. William Irwin and Edwin Pike. The Arbor Day exercises were in charge of Sixteen, with President Crowther presiding, and wen open to the entire school. Every phase of tin exercises was ably presented and enjoyed by all. The first entertainment attempted by Six- teen was the presentation of the S.varthirore Musical Clubs. From every angle, the affair was a great success. The proceeds were for the purchase of a fitting memorial to commemorate our class. During our Junior year rings and pins were purchased. The design is artistic and their ap- pearance is pleasing. On the evening of May 28. 1915. the red letter event of our Junior year was held, the Junior Recital. Declamations, solos, both in- strumental and vocal, and class numbers con- Seventeen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN •Miiimi ffiisturii iif thf (£laas of HUB (continued) stituted the program. The recital, considered as a representation of school work, aroused the most enthusiastic praise, and was considered by all far to surpass all similar recitals. Once more as vacation approached, the sub- ject of a class picnic was discussed, with the icsult that the day after school closed we went to Burlington Island Bark. After spending the day in the park, we enjoyed a moonlight sail down the Delaware. September of 1915 saw us entering school as Seniors. For years we had looked forward to the time when we might sit in the front seats at assembly and be accorded all the privileges that go with the name of Senior. Not long after the opening of school. Sixteen met to organize for the last time in their high school career. After a very interesting contest Leon Bagshaw was elected president: Klizabeth Kggleston. vice president; Mary Melville, sec- retary. and Watson Tongue, official “shekel” gatherer. Before the athletic season began there was a very noticeable superabundance of spirit, and in order to insure tin peace of the community, a boys’ glee club was started. But alas! the de- sired peace was not forthcoming, and more un- rest than ever was noticed. Let it be said in passing that the club made several very promis- ing ( ?) public appearances, and it is rumored that tin cause for losing one debate may be laid at a selection rendered by said club. However, the boys worked hard (especially Benjamin singing bass) and it was no one’s fault that a more harmonious combinatio 1 was not produced, but at that Sixteen s double |uaitct far sur- passed all previous ones. Nineteen Sixteen marked a most important event for Chester High. Aft r week ; of thought and preparation, the “Noel Feast” was opened. The object for which thi; novel feature was held was the procuring of funds for the Literary Society, the Social Service So-iety and the shoe fund for poor school children. There was not a pupil who did not play some part. All the special features—the town market, tea room, bake, (’hristmarkt. and entertainments—were a marked success. Its success can be said to be due largely t £ the efforts of the members of Sixteen. Eighteen CHESTER HIGH oCHOOL ANNJAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN Utatnrg nf thr GUana uf 1316 (continued) Never before in the history of the Chester High School has so much energy been directed towards debating. The preliminaries for places on the team were in the nature of intere lass debates in the Literary Society. There were few Seniors who did not try to “make” the team. After numberless interclass debates, the team to represent the school in tin public de- bates was chosen. The members of the 'Varsity debating squad were John Hay. Clarence Smed- lcy, Edwin F. Pike and Lindsay Gceltz. A regular schedule was made, and debates with the following teams held: Swarthmore College Freshmen. Heading High School, Lancaster High School and Vineland High School. Besides these there were the girls' public interclass de- bate and the boys’ interclass debate. The whole debating season can be declared a true success, although we lost the majority of debates. When the football season came Sixteen placed more letter men on the team than any other class, and due to their efforts, a most suc- cessful schedule was played. The same thing can be said of all the other athletic activities. to which more detail will be given in their re- spective departments. According to custom, both a boys’ and girls' oratorical contest was held. The usual high standards of composition and delivery were ably maintained by the youthful orators and “ora- toresses.” It is such events that furnish a true educational entertainment to the public, and the efforts of the contestants were thoroughly appreciated by the enthusiastic audiences. The winners of the girls' contest were: First prize. Miriam Buchlein ; second prize. Esther Kntwisle; honorable mention. Muriel Chamberlain. Edwin F. Pike won the boys’ contest, with Jack High and William Y. Irwin capturing second and third places respectively. The cups were given by the Spectrum and Mr. J. G. E. Smedley. The night following the boys’ oratorical con- test, April 14. W. Y. Irwin and Edwin F. Pike represented Chester High in the interscholastic oratorical contest at the University of Penn- sylvania. Six of the leading high and prepara- tory schools of Eastern Pennsylvania were rep- resented. The place that Chester High holds in the field of public speaking was shown by the Ninteen CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN Hiatiirtt nf thr (HlaHfl uf lUlfi (concluded) Although of such beautiful aspect, it does not and cannot express the happiness we de- fact that Chester had two entries. Every one declared the orations to he of the highest type, hut Chester High “brought home the bacon.” Edwin Pike was unanimously declared the winner. When track season opened. Sixteen gave Mr. Bacon all his future stars. The relay team was a Sixteen team entirely, and in every event it was Sixteen that formed the basis for the squad. From the time Sixteen presented the Swart.li- more Musical Clubs until the end of our career was in sight, the great topic in our minds was what kind of memorial we should leave to the school. After much discussion, it was decided to erect a marble fountain of appropriate de- sign. This fountain, beautiful as it is. is not a tombstone on which is written Sixteen’s epitaph. It is a fitting and appropriate memorial of Six- teen s greatness, a gift to the school of the future, an expression of fidelity, devotion and affection. rived from our four years of work spent within the walls of ('heater High. Life in high school is but a very limited and narrow sphere of activity. Although of seem- ingly great proportions, it is as nothing com- pared with life in the “world.” Before us as a dream, we see the future; this world—vague, but plain: uncertain, certain. What is there in it for us. what can it hold in store? Fame?— perhaps; honor? we hope so. Money?—enough but not too much. If all these, what more can he the ultimate outcome of perhaps the most capable period of a young life spent in a high school care e r? happiness, strength anel courage to face a hard world, though not devoid of sympathy. We have came to a parting of the way. to the end e f the race. Have we fought a good fight? We have, and with this conviction let us say good-bye to one another sadly, but still glad to know we are fitted to begin our respective life’s journeys elue te the excellent training we have re e e ive d from Chester High. 4 Twenty CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN m (Hlass Ipatorg F ever a group of Freshmen entered the Chester High School resolved to excel the achievements attained by other classes, it was the group that entered Septeml er. 1913, destined to become the illustrious ebuss of 1917. A glance at the record of the class will show how ably their resolutions have been kept. The splendid reception tendered us by the class of 1914 was greatly enjoyed and appreci- ated by every member of the class, and helped greatly to cure us of that disease to which all Freshmen seem subject, namely, “frightenitis, ” and also showed us that the Seniors were human and really a very fine bunch. After the Freshmen reception we felt as though we really were a part of the school, and started right in breaking records by being the first class to organize in its Freshman year. Charles Larkin, president; Kathryn Jones, vice president; Morton Daller, secretary, and Irma McLean, treasurer, were chosen to guide the class through that perilous first year, when you are supposed to lx seen but not heard. We first showed our ability in athletics by defeating the 1916 class team in a football game which rivaled the ’varsity games in the amount of “pep” and enthusiasm shown by both sides. A member of our class took second place in tin annual cross-country run. Our baseball team was also exceptionally good and ended the sea- son with a very fine record. When the time came for us to conduct the Flag Day exercises we demonstrated our ability along this line by presenting a very fine pro- gram. June showed that most of us had passed the year’s work with very good records, and the summer vacation was welcomed and enjoyed. The following September saw the return of the class to our studies resolved to strive even harder to cover the Brown and White, the symbol of good old 17. with glory. First, we re- organized and elected William Minton Harvey, president; Irma McLean, vice president; Ed- ward Bartleson, secretary; and Rebecca Rose, treasurer, and under the leadership of these able officers, further exalted the glorious name of ’17. The call for football candidates met a hearty response from the members of '17. and our class was well represents on the ’varsity squad. Our Seventy CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL NINETEEN SIXTEEN 131T (£laas Sistunt (continued) class team again won fame and defeated our old rivals ’16 in a dose, hard-fought game. In basketball the envious record of ’17 was upheld by the girls who won the championship of the school. The Varsity baseball squad was also ably assisted by several members of 17. The midyear promotions took place in Feb- ruary. and the results showed that ’17 was also setting a high standard in its studies. It is the duty of the Sophomore class to pre- sent the Peace Day program. The program pre- sented by us could not be excelled, and we were congratulated upon the success of the affair by all who heard it. June soon arrived and the excellent standard maintained by the class in our studies gave most of us very little to fear from examinations, and there were few failures in our ranks. We celebrated the last day of school with a class picnic at River View Beach. Dull care was cast aside; the spirit of fun prevailed; and the day will always be remembered as one of the happiest of our school days. The trip was made on the good ship “Queen Anne.” and three of our members found the trip so enjoyable that they extended their ride to Philadelphia. Fall again brought us back to our studies, to Ix'gin the second half of our high school career, with loyalty to dear old ( II. S. and '17 deeper than ever in our hearts. Kdward Bartleson as president; Dorothy Burk, vice president; John Ililgert. secretary; Gretchen Monroe, treasurer, were chosen to solve the difficult problems which present them- selves to a Junior class, (’lass rings and pins of a very attractive design were purchased by the class. We now engaged in a series of interclass de- bates with ’16. Due to our extreme “greenness” in the art of debating. 1916 was able to win the first five, while we won the last two of those held before the Literary Society. This gave 1916 the series. The Seniors also won the girls’ public interclass debate by a very close margin, but we were able to finish the season with a glorious finale by winning the boys’ public interclass de- bate. The 1917 men on the football team won honor for the class, as well as themselves, and con- Seventy-one HIINIINtMMNNMNNUIIIIIIIIMMHVfmiMtNMH •• •• nilltllllMIMiMMMMMNllllBi . •« CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

Wo also placed four men on the basketball squad, and the class team won the undisputed championship of the school. The baseball team, which set a very fast pace in the Delaware County League, counts among its “stars” several members of T7. especially in the pitching box. Seventeen is also well repre- sented on both the girls' and boys star track teams. An extremely fine and interesting program was presented by tin class on May 5. in observ- ance of Arbor Day. President Kdward Rartle- son presided. The class is especially clever in presenting entertainments, and can boast of hav- ing as a member the best musician who ever entered Chester High. Seventeen s first real opportunity to dem- onstrate its oratorical and musical ability to the citizens of Chester came with the Junior recital, when, before a large and hugely delighted audi- ence an exceptionally fine and interesting pro- gram was given. The participants did honor both to themselves and to the class, and were complimented on the success of the affair. June again separates us from C. II.

On May 18. 1915. the February '18 class and the class of 1917 had charge of the Peace Day exercises, which were about the best ever pre- sented by any class in the school.

The pupils of the sci- ence classes have always advo- cated a Science Club, but it fell upon the class of 1916 to organize the club. The object was to have a club which would be composed of stu- dents in the science classes. Each branch of study was to organize and take a name which would be appropriate to that club. The first to organize was the physics section, which decided to call themselves the Newtonian Club. They elected Norman Benjamin, presi- dent; Sarah James, secretary, and Wilson Ross. Pearl Shebacker and William Irwin as a board of managers. The next to form was the chem- istry section, which took the name of Priestly Club. They elected Minton Harvey, president; Julia Smith, secretary, and a board of managers. Then followed the organization of the biology, the natural science, electrical and photo clubs, of which any student could be a member. One of the clubs will have charge of each meeting and will arrange the program for that day. This is done so that interest may be aroused in the scientific subjects of the present day. Although nothing has been done in this field this year, several good lectures have been arranged for next fall, which will be very in- teresting and instructive to even student of science. G. X. B.

Many capable students were included, since been proved. The organization class quickly followed, and resulted in the choice of Fred Leser. president: William Crothers. vice president; Marian Way, secre- tary. and Mary Smith, treasurer. The class colors caused a debate which lasted until No- vember 20. when red and blue were selected, hut they have since been changed to green and white. The Senior reception to the Freshmen, which was held on November 20. was thoroughly en- joyed by all present. The class song, composed by Anna FtT and Dorothy Eschbach. was much appreciated by the class. In accordance with custom, we con- ducted the Flag Day exercises. They were held in the afternoon in the Assembly Hoorn before the entire school. The orations were well pre- sented and the singing was a feature of the en- tertainment. Like other classes which have gone before, we had our curiosities, too numerous to mention. Thus ended one happy year of four. In September. 1915. Nineteen Eighteen came back for its second year at dear 11. S.. some- what diminished in numbers, but with their old “ginger.’’ We immediately reorganized the class, which resulted in Warren Sheppard as president; Anna Iff. vice president; Mary Smith, secretary, and Warren Ogden, treasurer. Three members of our class played on the Varsity football team. The 18 basketball team had a very successful season, winning nearly every game they played. Mullin. an 18 man, won first place, and the time prize in the inter- class cross country run. which was held on November 24. Two of our girls held down posi- tions on the girls’ basketball team. How quickly our two years have passed. It seems but yesterday since we. a group of Fresh- men. prolonged our entrance till the last pos- sible moment.

II. S., and began the first lap of High School life. On the first much to our relief, we had the school to Ives from 8.30 to 11 o’clock. During this we were taken on a tour of the building, which discouraged some and encouraged others. At 11 o’clock wo left for the day and reported fin next day at 8.30, ready for work. On Friday. October 29. our first class meet- ing was held and tie following officers were elected: President, Henry Thompson; vice president, Klsie dones; secretary. Martha Mc- Lean; treasurer, Milton MacDowell. This meet- ing aroused the interest of the members and be- gan the history of our class. On Friday evening, December 5. a reception to the Freshmen was given. This was largely attended and greatly enjoyed by the parents and friends of tin mcml crs of the Freshman class. The blackboards in the various rooms were profusely decorated with work done by the students of the different classes. On Thursday and Friday evening. December 16 and 17. an affair was held in the High School called a “Noel Feast.” It proved a great suc- cess. partly due to the efforts and co-operation of the Freshman class. This is tin first affair in which the Freshmen had the privilege of tak- ing part, and we appreciate this opportunity very much to present ourselves and show our capabilities to tin public. On Thursday evening the two lower classes presented an operetta. “On Plymouth Rock.” It was very much enjoyed by those attending, and a great amount of talent was discovered in the lower classes. The Freshman class ranks very well in ath- letics. Francis Ferrigan being especially good. We all hope for “Midge’s” success in the fu- ture, and we think that in years to come 0. II. S. will be very proud of him as an athlete. We have a very good football and basketball team, and a good baseball team also. The girls have had a chance to display their ability in sports, as there was a girls’ track team and the Freshman class was well represented.

At first we had a very exciting time getting into wrong class rooms and wrong classes, but this lasted but a short time, and we soon settled down to bard work. In November the Seniors held a reception for the Freshmen, which gave our parents and friends an opportunity of seeing the school. After the visitors had been guided over the building and shown exhibits of work in book- keeping. typewriting, business forms. Knglish. etc., all assembled in the auditorium, where they enjoyed a delightful entertainment provided bv the Seniors. We were greatly disappointed during our Freshman year by the loss of our beloved teacher. Miss A. X. Griffith, principal of the Commercial Department, who became Mrs. Wis- ta r Thompson. We were very sorry to see Miss Griffith go, but we knew it was for her happiness. Miss Manwarring took her bookkeeping classes. In February Miss Stetser took the newly formed classes. During our Freshmen year we were repre- sented on the Spectrum Board by Jacob Davis and this year by Bessie Wood. By September 6. 1915 then were fifty of us to complete tin commercial course. On return- ing to school, we had a great surprise in the form of some new teachers, namely. Mr. Roy Minott. head of the Commercial Department; Miss Marguerite Toronto, and Miss Jessie Sharp. On September 30, 1915. we organized as a class, choosing for our colors blue and white, and shortly after the Christmas holidays we received our class rings. As we now say good-bye to our Alma Mater, we wish to add that our class has become greatly attached to our work, our teachers, and our school, and we all leave with a hearty desire that the next class may be as successful a class as old 1916.

We had a fine time trying to find where to go, but it did not take us long, because, before we knew it. we were deep into the dear old books again. One of the pleasures of the school year was in November, when the Seniors gave a recep- tion for the Freshmen pupils. The parents and friends were shown over the building and were also shown exhibits of our work in bookkeeping, business forms ami English, etc. After our parents had become acquainted with the teachers we were all invited into tin assembly room, where a pleasing program was rendered by the Seniors. For the first time in the history of the Two Year Commercial Class the Freshies were given the honor of getting their class rings flu first year. Of course, we all felt very proud of this privilege. The Freshmen were also allowed the unusual privilege of conducting the first night of the Noel Feast, which was a great success.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN Slip $fiprtrum IIE term of 1915-16 has marked a new era in the Spectrum. In- deed. it has developed in all branches and become larger and better. Although there was a change in the editorship ami business department in tin middle of the term, no set back occurred, the staff working in unison. Beginning with October, nine numbers have been published, several of which were special num- bers. Each class has had a number to which they contributed with good material, and the experi- ment proved a success. Two other special fea- tures that were worked up well were tin Thanks- giving and Christmas numl crs. The literary work has been of the same Chester High stand- ard, carefully plotted stories, splendid poems, and interesting essays, and character sketches. Editorials have been upon timely topics and full of spirit, and have scored their point. Ot school news it may well be said, ‘ It’s all here and it’s all true.’’ News and achievements of our graduates have been the gist of the Alumni Department, but stories and essays contributed by several “has beens” created a new interest. Our exchange list is large and is composed of first class high school papers. We have tried to give helpful suggestions and criticisms, and we have been assisted by those given by other schools, to say nothing of the encouragement that comes from the bouquets. School Wit and Humor would have made grave-diggers with all sorts of degrees convulse with laughter. All the “dope” about athletics has been compiled, and together with accounts of games and meets, has made snappy news. We have found the value of an art department and the finishing touches it gives to the SPECTRUM. The subscription list is larger than ever; the ads are of Indter quality and more numerous. The Spectrum offered prizes for the Girls' Annual Oratorical Contest. These represent the year’s work, and we leave a trust to our successors to make every number better in all branches, and bring forth the pro- ducts of Chester High School in true C. II. S. fashion.

The “Noel Feast,” held on the evenings of December 17 and 18, 1915, under the auspices of the Social Service Society, to- gether with the aid of the faculty and the stu- dents. proved to be a great success. This style of entertainment was the first the school had ever attempted. The English department had charge of tin entertainments, while the remaining teachers with groups of students were in charge of num- erous features throughout the building. Inter- esting booths were erected in the corridors and class rooms. The entire building was artistically decorated and represented a cosmopolitan ba- zaar. The Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls were situated on the first floor, each group with its characteristic camn and picturesque setting. The Town Market occupied the Senior class rooms and did much to add to the success of tin “Feast.” The third floor was given over entirely to German scenes with the exception of the Gypsy Camp. The main branch of the German setting was “Die Ruche,” from which the memorable “hot dogs” and sandwiches were dispensed. Throughout the building flower girls and Span- ish maidens sold their various wares. Ninety-six CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

The total receipts amounted te $642.52 and the expenses $99.15, leaving a profit of $543.37. This sum was divided between the Social Service, the Literary Society and the shoe fund. During the year we have had a number of persons talk te its on social service and the field it offers to women workers, some e f the speakers being Miss Gladwin, who was at the time the sexual worker for the hospitals here in Chester, but who is now the matron at the Juvenile Home; and Miss Lillian Clayton, the superintendent of the Training School of the General Hospital of Philadelphia.

We have helped in many such eases, and we hope that the coming classes will continue the gexxl work and accomplish even more.

Since Frances Voshell entered Chester High she has taken an active part in tin musical pro- ductions and entertainments given by the school. Her willingness to sing on these occasions has been very much appreciated by all, and Frances was elected president of this club. Mildred Volkhardt was elected vice president, and as there did not seem to be much special work for a secretary, the members thought it advisable to elect one person to act as secretary and treasurer. and Florence Bottomley was the choice of the club. The girls have, indeed, gained quite a repu- tation this year, and Miss Ross has been very much pleased with the work they have done and the intense interest they have shown. The club has entertained the school several times. They sang at the Thanksgiving enter- tainment. Literary Society and the girls’ public interclass debate. They also sang at the Y. W. ( A.

William Irwin was elected president of the club, and George Leeder was elected treasurer. The club was open to the two upper classes and a large number of the boys joined. After two or three meetings, it was found that quite a number of the boys could play the mandolin. Miss Ross thought it would be a very good idea to have these boys bring their mandolins to club, and play them for the rest of the boys to sing. She suggested this to the boys and they very willingly agreed to do so. The club rendered two selections at one of the meetings of the Literary Society. Thus, the class of 191b not only continued the work that the class of 1915 had started, but also furthered it by using the mandolins, which not only added to the music, but also made the club interesting and encouraged the boys to take active part in the work.

The fountain is made in a shapely and graceful design from the host Westerly granite and stands about four feet above the giound. throwing a stream that bursts into spray and falls around it. In selecting this gift, the class has endeavored to have something both ornamental and useful. The campus with its trees, bushes and plants, needs something to sot it otT. and just such things serve this purpose. The class gives this fountain as an expression of its love for the school and the happy times spent in it. We hope that this eustoin of giving memorials that beautify our Alma Mater will be followed by all classes, for indeed she is more to us than even a memorial can show.

After the election the president welcomed the Junior class to the so- ciety. and the meeting was adjourned on motion. During the fall term the society was enter- tained by several prominent speakers. Mr. 1. Woodward Trainer, secretary of the Board of Trade, spoke on “The Industrial Awakening of Chester.” “Mike” Dorizas. University of Penn- sylvania’s “strong man,” spoke on the Balkan War. Mr. Roy Young, the famous violinist, gave an interesting talk on Paganine and the Secretary Morton Daller Birds, and played several selections on his won- derful violin, ‘imitating the different birds and their calls. Throughout the fall and winter terms nine preliminary debates were held lie tween teams representing the Senior and Junior elassss. 'Plus year a new method of debating was adopted. In former years both girls and boys were chosen to debate on the same teams. The teams were gen- erally composed of two boys and one girl. 'I his year the boys and girls had separate teams, thus increasing the number of debates and at the same time equalizing the representation of the bovs and girls. The teams representing the Senior class were able to convince the judges in six of the nine contests, the Juniors being con- tent with capturing three debates.

The boys held their fifth annual oratorical contest on April 13, 1916. The winners of the contest were Edwin Pike, first prize, a silver cup; John High, second prize, a silver cup, and Wil- liam Irwin, books. During the year several of our meetings were dedicated to our great poets, and special exercises were held in commemoration of Thanksgiving, Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day. Besides these special features several interesting and educa- tional lantern lectures were given, one of which was given by Miss Williams. Much amusement was afforded the members of the society by the extemporaneous debates in which Norton Prit- chard and Morris Lebidine claimed the champion- ship of the school, having defeated several other teams composed of members of the Senior class. The Literary Society has completed its sev- enth year in the annals of Chester High School, and with each succeeding year the society has met with a greater success. Every year new at- tractions are added to our programs or some new and interesting feature adopted by the society for the betterment of the school. This year our lectures were above the ordinary, while our ex- temporaneous debating teams completely eclipsed anything in that line of entertainments ever tried before in the school. Our interclass debates were marked by the excellent delivery of carefully prepared and well developed papers. Our de- bating teams lost several interscholastic debates, but this could not be credited against them, but rather credited for them in as much as they were pitted against superior teams in several cases, and although out-classed, succeeded in keeping One Hundred and Eight CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

With sixty or seventy fellows enrolled, Bible study and good fellowship courses were entered upon heartily. After a few weekly meetings, Paul Crowther was made the executive officer by a unanimous de- cision, and the class groups held their own elec- tions. To the fellows who attended the meetings, it will be a happy remembrance.

A squeak- ing and groaning of chairs while the president was giving notices and introducing the speaker told that the diners were preparing for a long, dry sermon. But no—these speeches by promi- nent professional and business men aroused an interest, and each fellow had some ideas of a vocation to think about. After tin speeches the class groups went to their separate meetings, which lasted until 8 o’clock and hen the dis- cussion. arguments, lessons and teachings were brought out by the teachers and the fellows. The teachers were: 1916—James L. Rankin, Esq.: 1917—J. Borton Weeks, Esq.: 1918—Jesse Jes- ter; 1919—Harwell Dutton, Esq. Mr. John Norsk, Boys’ Work Secretary, was a co-worker with the teachers.

We were somewhat at a disadvantage, having only one day a week to practice on the Y. W. C. A. floor; but with the untiring efforts of Miss Hyatt, our coach, who turned out a winning team, the season was a very successful oik . The girls have shown more interest and enthusiasm in tin work this year, due largely to the work in basketball. Sara James, manager of the basketball team, arranged quite a number of games in the short time she had to work, as the team was not selected until tin middle of January. The season was not only a success from the number of points scored, but also financially. Miss Bertha B. Ilepworth, our faculty representative, has also been a great help to us in all our undertakings. Doris Valentine was elected manager of the track and tennis teams, with Alice Marshall as assistant manager. Together they have arranged quite a number of tennis matches between the different schools. We hope that the tennis sea- son will be as much a success as our other under- takings. Again this year the girls entered the Y. M. C. A. circus, and. as usual, made a fine showing. The Footlight Club, composed of certain members of the Alumni and some of the present students, presented a farce. What Happened to Jones?” in the Washburn Theatre, May 5. 1016. for the benefit of the two athletic associa- tions. Quite a neat sum was realized, which will be of great use to both associations.

In the last A. A. meeting: of the year 1915 he was unanimously elected to the executive chair. The track team thought it fitting and proper to bestow on him the honor of captain of that sport. lie stepped into the position of captain of football because the one elected. Harold Hughes, failed to con- tinue his education. Football, on account of the big Wilmington game, was the most successful financial achieve- ment in the sporting record of the C. II. S. Despite “Lee” Bagshaw’s getting up on the platform at least twice a week to plead for spirit and incidentally for money, there were no crowds at the games. “Lee” stuck to it. with his teeth set and with the motto. “Every- thing comes to him who waits.” and waited for the big game. When it came Bagshaw hired a wheelbarrow to bring back the fruits of his waiting. Ill's receipts were the highest ever turned over into the coffers of the A. A. and amounted to $336.48. Howard. '17. who was elected to serve as Bagshaw’s assistant, found it too hard to play in the games and also to liek postage stamps, lime out the field, put up the posts and posters and the other duties piled on the assistant manager, and so resigned. The office was filled by Bartleson, of '17. The sad day came when Jack High, manager of basketball, made his financial report with tears in his eyes and gave Jackson $9.51. Jack was trying hard to come up to Dick Deakylie’s record of last year, but the students liked the run of pictures the “Grand” had on Wednes- day afternoons, and let High suffer. Time after time he looked into the faces of those students from the platform and begged them to support his team, but their hearts were made of stone, and again Jack suffered.

A. to pay the track team's expenses. But he never wrote out any reports of money turned over, because of never having any to turn. Never- theless, letting tin financial side go. he had quite a track team to manage, being one of the team himself. Also he had for the first time a coach who helped him with his problems. Some great problems faced him, such as a diplomat would find hard to solve. One of the greatest was the eligibility rule. “Minsh” worked hand over hand trying to get rid of that, for he knew’ it would slaughter his team. II is work was not altogether unheeded. Tongue found he had to face the same acid test with his baseball team. Not very many were affected and Watson rested easily. In re- gards to a schedule. Tonguey didn’t have to work hard at all. The Delaware County High School League was started and his schedule was made out there. His greatest problem was run- ning after the foul balls. He was never fortun- ate enough to have an assistant, because they all knew what to expect, and left Watson to his misery. Another thing faced him that has faced all the other managers. No support. He gave a few speeches, but it did no good, so he gave it up. When Mr. Smcdley got on the .job and argued in his favor to the school. Watson sat up and began to count the money. All in all. the season was managed well, and a great amount of credit is due to Tongue’s good efforts. The A. A. had no plays other than tin one given by the Footlight Club, entitled “What Happened to Jones.” The play was a howling success, and the proceeds were as successful. It was divided between the Boys’ A. A. and the Girls’ A. A. This, with the stirring football receipts, lined the purse of the Boys’ Athletic Association of the Chester High School.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN JFnntball HIS year Chester High School had the best season, both in games won and in financial returns, that it ever enjoyed. Under the leader- ship of '16 it won all the import- ant games, and particularly it “Beat Wilmington.” From the first of tin sea- son the slogan was “Beat Wilmington,” and we did. Much credit is due to Coach Boell, who turned out the winning team, and to Captain Bill Irwin, who piloted it to “Beat Wilmington. The schedule for the year was: Friday, September 24—Ridley Park. home. Friday, October 1—Roman Catholic, home. Saturday, October 9—Atlantic City, away. Friday, October 15—Brown Prep., home. Friday. October 22—Southern High, home. Friday. November 5—Temple Prep., home. Saturday. November 13—Wilmington, home. Friday, November 19—-Media, home. Thursday. November 25—Villanova Prep., home. This excellent schedule was arranged by Manager Bagshaw. and the team put it through by a record score. On Monday, September 13, Coach Boell called out the candidates for the team, and over thirty-five men reported tin first day. Imme- diately Coach Boell got down to work. The men responded, and Chester High had one of its most successful seasons. Although out-weighed in many games, the team had the necessary “pep” and speed to beat teams which were declared far superior before the game. On Friday afternoon, September 24. Chester High School opened her football season, and de- feated Ridley Park by a score of 19 to 0. The line proved to lx strong on offensive and defen- sive play, only allowing their opponents to get one first down. Irwin traveled around the end for long gains of 25 and 30 yards. Howard and Harrington also proved to be coming stars. Victory is sweet, but it is made sweeter still when it is a victory over an old rival. For many years Chester has played Roman Catholic, but the score was usually in favor of R. C. H. S. Now Chester has at last the glory of winning. On October 1, on a muddy field and in drizzling rain, our team held back the strong onslaught of One Hundred and Twenty-eight CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

He was in every play, and when Roman Catholic II. S. fumbled the ball on the fifteen-yard line, he dashed in, scooped it up and ran for a touchdown. This remarkable run of 85 yards he made in 14 seconds. The rest of the team was in fighting spirit and held off R. C. II. S.’s onslaughts for the rest of the game. The final score was: C. H. S.. 6; R, C. II. S., 0. On Saturday, October 9, our squad traveled to Atlantic City, but here fate would not give the team the smile which she had been bestowing on it. and it met its first defeat. Atlantic City had a strong, heavy team, and with our team crippled by the loss of Larkin and Ross as tackles and Shepherd as end. all of whom were on the sick list, they plowed right through our line. By Irwin’s fine kicking and J. Davis’ fast work. Chester managed to get a touchdown. This was due also to Lee’s intercepting a for- ward pass. The final score stood 20 to 7 in At- lantic City’s favor. On October 15 Chester came back by white- washing Brown Prep. bv the score of 26-0. This game was an exhibition of very pretty plays on the part of our team. Howard starred. He made three touchdowns from long distances. Two of his runs were 60 and 55 yards. Minnick excelled at end by catching four forward passes for long gains. Lebidine was credited with help- ing to get the first touchdown. By breaking through the line and using his head to block a kick, the ball was carried to within 10 yards of Browns goal. The second team was put in at the beginning of the second half by Coach Boell. On Friday. October 22. it looked as if Ches- ter would have to register a defeat on her list from the size of the Southern High School team, but our team proved themselves superior by 7 points. Tin final score was 13 to 6 against Southern. In the first period How. of Southern, carried the ball for a touchdown. Chester buckled down to work. In the second period, with Irwin at half-back and Grey at quarter, things began to come our way. In this period we tied the score. Lebidine backed up the line, which stopped anything Southern tried and was in every play. Howard came across with some One Hundred and Twenty-nine CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL NINETEEN SIXTEEN football (c WTINI’ED) Ion : end runs, and Grey and Irwin put the pep in the team. In the last period Southern fumbled and Grey scooped it up and with a 50- yard run made the winning touchdown, which Minniek kicked. Friday afternoon, November 5. the Chester High School scored a very easy victory over Temple Prep, hv a score of 10 to 6. Temple had a team, but nothing else. Grey was knocked out in the second period and Irwin was forced to go in with a broken nose. Harrington played a good game and made two touchdowns in the third period. On Friday afternoon. November 19. the Ches- ter High team, with the memory of Wilmington fresh in its mind, went down to defeat at the hands of tin inferior Media team. The field was muddy and swimming pools were scattered here and there, so the players could refresh themselves with a cooling hath now and then. There was no fighting spirit. Lee and Irwin were out with injuries, but Coach Boell put Ir- win in in the second half. This put some spirit into the game, but the team did not respond. Irwin got the only touchdown for Chester. Ag- new. Ilibbert and Westcott scored for Media. Chester lost the game mainly through fumbles. The final score was 19 to 6 in favor of Media. This is Media’s first victory over us in 12 years. On Thanksgiving morning Villanova Prep, nlaved the Chester High School football team. Villanova had a record of beating some of the best scholastic teams in this section. When the team trotted on the field the loyal Chesterites be- came down-hearted, on account of the size of Chester’s opponents. The team got down to work from the first. Tt looked as though Chester was going to score many times, hut Villanova with her superior weight held our team. There were many sensational runs throughout the game hv Minniek. Irwin and Howard. Bill Irwin was in every play in spite of his broken nose. Larkin kicked well, averaging 36 yards on his kicks. This, although not a victory, was something the team had to be proud of. The Villanova team out-weighed the Orange and Black by five pounds per man. but our team had tin speed and fight necessary to equalize this advantage. Although marred hv two defeats, the Chester High School had one of the most successful foot- One Hundred and Thirty CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

Although Media had a good team. Chester had a better one. The reason for the defeat was be- cause of “swelled heads” from defeating Wil- mington. The Wilmington game was the best of the season. Captain Irwin was the recognized star in this game, as in the others. Throughout the season he was the mainstay of the team. To Coach Boell goes tin credit for developing a wonderful team. Although there were many who had never played football before, lie turned out a winning team. Minniek. Ross. Lee. Lebi- dinc. Sidwell. Tongue, Gceltz and Captain Irwin will be lost through graduation, but if Coach Boell is supported another team that can “Beat Wilmington” can be turned out.

The 1916 class waited every year to see Wilmington defeated, and in her Senior year attained her ambition, through Bill Irwin's field goal. At three o clock with bands playing and pen- nants waving lx fore an excited body of 2.500 people, the game began. Loose, of Wilmington, kicked off and Dolan ran with the pigskin to the 30-yaid line. After two downs Larkin made a fine kick. Chester held and Wilmington gained nothing. Chester got the ball on the 35-yard line. On the 30-vard line Captain Bill Irwin One Hundred and Thirty-one CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN jfaotball (concluded) decided on a field goal. The line held Wilming- ton back, and Irwin calmly kicked the goal, which decided the game in Chester’s favor. All through the game Irwin was in every play, and too much credit cannot be given to him. By gaining much ground by his 30 and 40-yard runs he kept Wilmington in their own territory. Lebidine backed up our stone wall line, which excelled all its previous good records, and stopped all the all the Wilmington rushes. Larkin’s kicking also helped our team much. He averaged about 45 yards on each kick. Harrington played well and saved the day in tin third period when he stopped a Wilmington runner after a 50-yard run. Minnick, our midget end. seemed to have a hold of every Wilmington man. Although he could not down many on account of the size of the Wilmington players, he held on until some of our other players could down them. The school was behind the team in every play, and backed it up throughout the game. The line up: C. II. S. W. II. S. Minnick ..........left end............ Young Ross .............left tackle............ Retna Lee.............left guard......... Harrington (Sid well) (Peters) Lebidine ..........center.......McCorkindale Tongue..........right guard.............Carter (Williams) Larkin .........right tackle..........

Campbell (Davis) Harrington .......fullback.............. Loose This was the cleanest and best played game that has occurred between the two schools, and all the spectators praised both teams. Wilmington went home “a sadder and a wiser school.” Chester High scored 81 points, while their opponents scored only 45. In six out of the eight games Chester’s opponents failed to score. Thus finished one of Chester’s most success- ful seasons. One Hundred and Thirty-two BALL 91'SI 61 UJ183_L ipqi .s g frtfrfmffTi CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

The question has been asked many times, and it is now the time to answer it for good. There are two ways of view- ing a successful season of ath- first aud most interesting is from the standpoint of games won or lost. Tlu other is from the financial side, from tin standpoint of whether it burdened the coffers of the A. A. treasury. The latter statement is easily answered by saying that if the season were to be viewed from this angle, it was a failure, an utter fail- ure. For all of Manager High’s standing on tlu platform morning after morning, pleading with the students to come out and support his team so that he could hand in a report with three figures to the left of the decimal point, they all preferred the “Grand” and left tlu team to its fate. It was. therefore, a failure when taken from the financial side. Consider now the more interesting side of the question, that of tlu games won or lost. By tlu preceding page you will see that fourteen games were won. while twelve were lost. Ac- cording to sporting writers and those who are supposed to be the authority, the basketball team was a failure all around. But had these same people seen tlu games, and had they known the conditions, their verdict would have been cast as “successful.” The team was facing a hard task, a task that they pulled out of wonderfully. After Manager I High had completed his entire schedule of games, he was notified that a Delaware County High School Basketball League was to be formed. Since it was the wish of most of the authorities, this league was approved, and con- sequently more games added to the schedule. In fact, the team did not only play regularly twice a week, but they had two games on one day. This meant that two teams were necessary. Considering these draw backs and the loses of the second team when they played ’Varsity games, the season was a success. It was a hard task for Coach Boell to turn out the team he did. for when the season’s prac- tice started the only ones he could look to for any experienced playing were Captain Ross. Jackson and Brown, who had played a little on One Hundred and Thirty-seven CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. NINETEEN SIXTEEN tBaakrt Sail (concluded) the? 1914-15 squad. Nevertheless. he bridged this draw bark, and when the 15th of December came around, he had a team which faced Media High School and trounced them. 11 is first pick of a team lay between Brown, Jackson and Step- toe in forward position; Dolan. Howard and Lee in guard, and Captain Ross in at center. For several games In worked this combination until “Paid” Larkin came out and demon- strated that In must be put on the team. This was the beginning of the fast quintet. The first time it worked together was on the last day of the year of 1915, when Chester hearts were made happy by letting Norristown High School go home carrying a defeat. 30 to 22. The credit of this game goes not only to the team, but to Mr. C. B. Sanford. Physical Director of the V. M. C. A. During the Christmas holidays Mr. Boell was away from Chester, and Mr. Sanford volunteered his services jus coach. Fnder his guidance they became profficient in the art of passing and in floor work, and to this end made Norristown feel blue. On several other occa- sions Mr. Sanford gave his services, which were not only appreciated by the team and manager, but. by the school as a whole. Several new rivals were found this year. For the first time, the Chester II. S. played St raver's Business College, Dover II. S.. Wil- mington Conference Academy and Philadelphia Trades School. Some proved better than Ches- ter. and the others were not so good. The only sad part of the season was in los- ing the two Wilmington games. Both wen? lost after a great struggle. The first one was played on the Wilmington floor on January 28. The game ended with the score 45 to 25 in Wilming- ton’s favor. The first half looked good for the Orange and Black, but the second half was ton fast, and the game stayed with the foe. The other game was not so bad. This was played on March 8 in the Chester Y. M. C. A. before a record breaking crowd. All through the game until the whistle sounded, there were hopes, but they died when the timer announced the game over, and the scorer the score of 35 to 25 in Wil- mington’s favor. After summing up the entire season, the de- cision is in favor of Chester High School, and the verdict is that the basketball season was a success to the end.

This year we had a 100% team and every meet was won. Wilming- ton was whitewashed to the.tune of 39-14. The credit for this goes to Coach Bacon. Coach Bacon just arrived in time to pilot the indoor track team. lie immediately set to work to develop a winning team out of raw material, in which he succeeded. As preliminaiy work, interclass meets were held. The Freshmen and Sophomores clashed first on January 21. 1916. The Freshmen took the jump from the beginning of the meet, and at no time were their chances for success dark. Kerrigan was the individual star with 1 points to his credit. The final score stood 39 to 131 in favor of the Freshmen. The next meet was between the Seniors and Juniors on February 4. 1916. Both teams were in the best of condition, and the best meet of the season was presented. The Juniors took the I ad at first and held a few points ahead until the relay race, in which the Senior team over- whelmingly defeated them. Ford, of the Senior class, shone with 14 points to his credit. The final score stood 27 to 26 in the Senior’s credit. On February 11. 1916. the annual interclass meet was run. The Senior team had little op- position. except from the Freshman team. Much credit must be given to the Senior and Freshman teams for the good work. Ford got his usual 14 points in tin meet. Ferrigan followed with 13 points. The final score was: Seniors. 26: Fresh- men. 19; Juniors, 9: Sophomore. 0. On February 18. 1916, Chester High held its first dual indoor track meet. The meet was with Southern High School of Philadelphia, one of One Hundred and Forty-one CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.

On Washington’s Birthday Chester journeyed to Glen Mills to help make the day remembered throughout the county, for at least this section will remember it. Chester won four first places, two seconds, two third places, and the champion- ship of Delaware County. The final score was: Chester, 28: Media. 13; Radnor. 10; Cpper Darby. 5; Lansdowne. 4: Glen Mi Is. 3. Wilmington High met her fate on March 17. 1016. at the hands of the championship Chester team. Some opposition was expected, but none was found. Coach Bacon made the one mistake of the season, he put the ’varsity team in in- stead of the Freshmen. This was probably due to St. Patrick. After much hard ( ?) work and worry (?) the fracas ended with Chester leading by 15 points, or in other words 39-14 was the score. Chester won eight medals out of 9 (Ker- rigan copped three) ; six ribbons out of ten. and the much coveted cup which the Cross Company. which always talus an interest in the llifjh School, donated. Taken altogether, no season could have been more successful than Chester’s illustrious indoor track team. Captain Irwin High. Ford. Clark. Wiley. Lee.

In the Novice Run. October. 191 5, Captain Crenshaw captured twelfth in a field of IP) runners. The team raptured fifth place, beating out Roman Catholic. Southern and Camden High Schools. On November 12, 1915, Chester ran its an- nual dual race with Southern High. George Downes, of Chester, took first place in 2:1.28. This was fast time for the race, as it was rain- ing and the roads wore very slippery. Downes was awarded the official track “C” for this per- formance. Chester was badly handicapped in this race with both Captain Crenshaw and Mul- len on the sick list. The final score was 21-89 in favor of Southern. On December 8. 1915. Chester ran Roman Catholic High School of Philadelphia. Daley, of Catholic High, ran a speedy race in 21.14. Crenshaw. Chester’s captain, and Daley. Cath- olic Iligh’s captain, ran even until tin last three squares, when Daley won by a great sprint. The score see-sawed. First Chester was in the lead; then Catholic High. Finally Catholic High won by putting two runners over the line in succes- sion. The final score was 27-2S in favor of Catholic High. This year’s interclass run showed a marked improvement, in both interest and the number of contestants. Mullen. 18. won the first and time prizes; Downes. ’17. second; Crenshaw. ’16. third. The total number of runners was 26. Thus ended Chester’s most successful cross- country season. This was due to the good work of Mr. Joseph Swartz, national senior cross- country runner. With the proper coaching, next year’s team should equal this year’s, as Downes. Harvey and Gal lager are left as a nucleus. MIIMIMMNNNiMi NNMMIMMMMI One Hundred and Forty-three H F.

Al- though it was not composed of stars, it will be remembered as one of the best balanced teams in the history of the Chester High School. The men all trained hard, and through the efforts of Coach Bacon a good team was made from new men. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Bacon for his good work. The season was opened by the Meadowbrook meet on March 11. The fast one-half mile in- door team represented tin school, but in a mile race could do nothing against such fast teams as St. Albans, on which the American school bov champion sprinter. Brooke Brewer, ran; Central High. Mercersburg and other speedy teams. On Friday. April 28, the relay team, com- posed of Captain Irwin, Alrich Price. Charles Lee and Henry Thompson, nosed out third place after a hard struggle with Cheltenham High. On the next day Chester won fifth in a field of eleven teams. The following Saturday. May 6. Chester journeyed to Swarthinore. Here Chester met some of the best school-boy athletes in the country, and was unable to carry off any honors. On May 13 the team journeyed to Delaware College. After a luncheon given by the College, the team prepared for the struggle. “Chink” Lee broke the record in the one-half mile in 2.05%. Charlie would have done better bad someone l een within twenty-five yards to push him. C. Ford ruined one of Wilmington's jumper’s chance for second, and so Wilmington was contented with third. F. MeCowan took third in the pole vault after an exciting match. “Allie” Price got third in a fast quarter against some 53 second men. The relay team ruined Wilmington’s hopes for a place, and had little trouble to take third and “Beat Wilmington.” In the interclass meet ’16 had everything its own way. The final score stood: Seniors. 56; Freshmen. 19; Juniors. 10%; Sophomores. 4%. On the third of June Chester High got the second leg on the cup by beating Wilmington 50 to 40. The meet was close, but Chester took the lead from the start and held it to the end. Chester got seven out of ten firsts; two out of ten seconds; and eight out of ten thirds. Every first place was taken by a '16 man.
