A N N U A L ISSUED BY THE SElNIOR CLASS OF 19 2 1 CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JAMES HOMER. P.ENNIE JAMES HOMER RENNIE The Class of Nineteen Twenty-one takes great pleasure in dedicating This Annual to you, in recognition and appreciation of your help and guidance during our stay in Chester High School OUPx ALMA MATEK OUR 1921 ANNUAL PREFACE IN accordance with the custom set by former Senior Classes, we are issuing this 1921 Annual. By so doing, we aim to preserve, as near as possible, the history of Chester High School and of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-One during the past four years. It is our hope that this volume will be of the same value to the lower classmen as it is to us. In this Annual it is our aim to set forth the more important hap- penings of the period by presenting various pictures and illustrations. Years hence, when we are far from our beloved Alma Mater, we may idly turn the pages of this book and awaken fond reminiscences of our life in Chester High School. It will bring back to us many pleasant happenings and tender associations of the past, which will make us feel, without a doubt, that our four years spent in Chester High School were the four best years of our lives. We wish to express our appreciation of the help and co-operation given us by the faculty and lower classes, and our deep gratitude to the business men of Chester, whose support has made this Annual a success.

Just as though it were last week, we recall the ninth day of September. 1917, when about 240 ‘“green” Freshmen entered Chester High. Very soon after our entrance we learned what it meant to “‘push the penny” and “pray for rain.” However, we all fell in line with our leaders, and we were given an informal recep- tion by the Seniors in our school auditorium. Following the custom in C. H. S., the Freshman Class presented the Flag Day program, and before long our Freshman year came to a close. Space will not permit telling of every member (if our class, and what each one has accomplished during his four years in school. However, the officers for all four years were: Freshman year — Spencer Keare, president; Amelia Uflf, vice-president; Abraham Eisner, secretary; Lloyd Goman, treasurer. Sophomore year — Robert Mills, president; Esther Long, vice-president; Clarence Ayres, secretary; Thompson Palmer, treasurer. Junior year — Hubert Henley, president; Clara Bowen, vice-president; Margaret Burn, secretary; Frank Francis, treasurer. Senior year—Spencer Keare, president; Lil- lian Craig, vice-president; Margaret Haddock, secretary; Barton Sheldrake, treasurer. At the first meeting in our Senior year Charles Kessler was elected president of the class, but in the latter part of February, 1921, he was very unexpectedly called to California, and Spencer Keare was elected to succeed him. A farewell party was given to him by the Senior class, in the Young Women’s Christian Asso- ciation one Saturday night in the latter part of February, and Kessler left early the follow- ing morning for his future home in “the wild and woolly west.” During our Junior year plans were made to complete the work on the Athletic Field which the School Board purchased for the Chester schools. This field was named in honor of a man whom very few of the members of the Class of ’21 knew, but because his name is so indelibly stamped upon Chester High, we can realize what a character the late Joseph G. E. Smedley was. 16 THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED OUR 1921 ANNUAL ITn Bbemoriam (Dra Cook iMtnkrl OUR CLASSMATE AND FRIEND.

Observed of all observers.” .Mim” Franklin Grammar School Miriam is one of our many bright classmates. She seems to be blessed with the happy faculty of being able to get good marks- with ease. Mim” helped to make our Junior Recital a success by her recitation of “Virgie . We could talk on and on of the numerous things she has taken part in during her four years of High School, but our space is limited. Miriam is known to us all as a good sport and a jolly companion. Miriam is quite particular about one thing though.—she likes people who are open-hearted and truthful with her. In other words, she likes someone who is Frank”. Fond of Cadets and of Rooks . Fond of Buicks and of books. Always smiling, eyes of flame, Armstrong is her present name. Upland Grammar School ■Us One bright day in September. 1917. a very frightened little girl arrived at C. H. S. She came from the big. little city of Upland. The strange part was. however, that this little girl, Esther by name, did not stay frightened long. She soon made a “rep for herself among students and teachers. Esther started with an academic course, but changed to the Com- mercial Course in her Sophomore year. She has finished that course in three years and deserves credit for doing it so splen- didly. Esther plays the piano and is always in demand at lunch period, for she can play Margie” so well. “Es is going to teach Commercial subjects some day, perhaps in C. H. S.; so Fresh ies beware. A quiet, stately maid, ’tis true; But still she is loyal through and through. 19 OU R 1921 ANNUAL CLARENCE CORNELIUS AYRES, JR. ELIZABETH BARTLESON He :� best when at work.” Ayrsle1 Larkin Grammar School Clarence Ayres was in the thick of C. H. S. affairs' from the time he toddled over here from Old Larkin till the time he marched proudly out. clutching: h s diploma. He filled the po- sition of treasurer very ably. He was assistant advertising manager of the Spectrum during his Junior year, and, be- coming a Senior, he advanced to the important post of chief advertising and business manager. Under his care, the busi- ness end of the Spectrum attained heights greater than ever before. Ayrsle also went n for debating during his Sophomore year and emerged as president of the Debating Club during his Senior year. Thru his graduation, the school loses a hard working and steady leader. Here's luck. Clarence. Clarence C. Ayres is most of his name; At managing the Spectrum he got his great fame. 20 She is pretty to walk with. And witty to talk with. And pleasant to think on. Larkin Grammar School Hetty Libby Betty lias been very active in affairs in Chester High ever since her Freshman year. She has held a position in the Social Service Organization and has taken part in many dramatic presentations. Her parts have been the sweet, demure maidens; such as Priscilla in the well-known Alden episode. Betty's hobby is warriors. Warriors carrying guns and warriors shoot- ing basketballs, and they are not just plain common warriors either; they must be Captains and Sergeants to please Miss Betty. In days of old at contests, fair ladies cheered the warriors on to victory; this would seem to account for the success of our boys' basketball season. There is no doubt in our minds but that Libby will carry on in her future work as she has in her school work. The girl that is happy all day long And only has one “care”. Leaves pleasant memories to us Our Betty” with curly hair. OUR 1921 ANNUAL EUGENIA GRAY BEATTY Idleness has no place in her life.” LEON BLUMBERG 'l awoke one morning and found myself famous. Genie” Benny” Larkin Grammar School Eugenia came to C. H. S. with all the other greenies. but she did not stay green long. Even as a Freshie Benny proved a good sport and scholar. She has quite a good alto voice and has been in demand as a member of Glee Clui� . In her Senior year, she has especially distinguished herself as a Virgil scholar. She did not only study but come out for debating, making a good alternate. Genie also went out substituting, and made a very good school marm.’’ She likes basket ball and attends most of the game, always attended by—well, some one. She has a little shadow That goes in and out with her; But. what can be the use of it. We cannot tell you. sir. Fro nklin Grammar School Bluming” Still he raved: I.eon would actually argue with the Presi- dent of the United States just for the sake of arguing. What he doesn't know really isn't worth knowing (?) We must ad- mit, though, that Leon is quite a debater. Xext to arguing his chief characteristic is his perpetual good humor. He al- ways has a smile for everyone but cspcially the young ladies. Good recent jokes are his specialty. After completing his commercial schooling, we shall expect to hear of I eon as one of the leading business men of Chester. His wit: It if really distressing; His judgment; It is superb. For his tongue, there is no suppressing. Although we 'ave tried hard, my word! OUR 1921 ANNUAL Mildred irene bonawitz albert ross Joseph boudart “They who labor long: shall rest.” “The spirit of time will teach me speed. Larkin Grammar Schoi� l We have in the class of '21 a piri who can do almost any- thing and do it well. Many times in chapel she has held her audience spell-bound by her wonderful technique on the piano. Our friend not only plays the piano, but she also plays the violin. If her talents ended here, we would consider we had a genius in ou- midst, but gentle reader, she is also an artist. I am sure you will agree with us that Mildred is no common personage. Mildred played the piano well. She played the violin too, She did so many, many things; Like her, there are but few. Boudart is a quiet sort of person with a droll smile always on his demure countenance. Seldom heard except when asked to speak, he can always be found minding his own affairs and not those of someone else. His one great trouble is the mastery of the French tongue, but here he is not alone; other members of 21 have been known to fail when inflicting themselves with it. His aversion to speaking was proved in his refusal to be a speaker for our school loan. Nevertheless Albert has been ob- served to walk home (or at least away from school) regularly with a certain young lady. Who she is we do not know. Don’t allow her to distract you from your future ambitions. Albert. Not an orator as some; Not an athlete strong; But this quiet little maid May lead Albert wrong. 22 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLARA KERR BOWEN Of all the arts, great music is the one to raise the soul above all earthly storms.” “Clare” Swart hmore High School Behold the most renowned violinist of Chester High. It has been said that sooner or later, all noted people come to C. H. S. and Clare proves it. Of course, she wouldn’t stay n Swarthmorc when Chester was on the map. Clare is one of the best students in the class of '21. She is on. of the most brilliant of the “Dauntless Dozen” in Virgil. Clare is one of our fortunate members who has nothing to do. Of course, she de- f bates, plays, gives oratorical performances, studies, but that isn’t work. Clare has held numerous executive positions, among which are vice-president of her class during the Junior year, president f Glee, president of Social Service, and oh well, never mind. Clare intends to enter the musical world after her graduation. Here’s to her success. When it came to writing Clara up. It took so big a sheet; We had to cut it down to this. Mere’s Clare, she can’t be beat. FLORENCE ROSABELLE BURKE A Jolly good sport, not soon to be forgotten.” Franklin Gra nimar School Rosabelle is one of the greatest actresses Chester High School has ever produced. She took the part of Mrs. Kspen- hevne in Where But in America?” In this play our friend would have made a model wife, if she could have fried eggs. We have no doubt that when the proper time comes, she will correct this fault and will not starve her husband. Rosoabelle F.urke In C. H. S. I, a character of renown. But will ou t 11 me why she likes To go ti Germantown? 23 MARGARET HOWARTH BURN So tall, so stately and so fair’ OUR 1921 ANNUAL THOMAS BUTTERWORTH Good goods come in small packages.' Peggy Parkin Grammar School Peg is r no of the star members of the Girl's Debating Team. She is an invincible orator and her good work has won us several debates In our Junior year when our class rings first came. Peg was the only member of '21 who didn’t sport one, and our wonder grew when we saw that she did have a C. H. S.” ring, whose design none of us had ever seen before. Th' answer being very simple; though “Chester in name and thought. hi town was not Chester, Pa. Peg is one of our commercial girls and from all accounts should make one of our big Chester business men a fine secretary unless she has decided to desert Chester, Pa., for somewhere in Mary- land. A fair haired maiden is this lass. And yes an honor to the class. Although the often thinks of men We’ll surely think of her again. Franklin ' Grammar School ■Tommie” Four short years ago a tiny, mischievous lad made his debut at C. H. S. Tommie is mill tiny—and mischievous. P.ut with all his diminutiveness he possesses enough energy for a person twice his size. As a scholar. Tommie stands way up 'mongst the leaders, but he is the leader when it comes to “orneriness.” The reason is clear. He is so chock- full of energy that learning his lessons do not extract it all. so the rest of it he expends in jokes (practical, very.) Hut when there's wotk to do. Tom never shirks and shows that he can work as hard as the biggest. Tommy's future is not doubtful, for it lias been predicted that Thomas Jefferson shall have a worthy rival in him. T stands for Thomas, so small and so bold; He'll still be the same, when he’s bowed down and old.” OUR 1921 ANNUAL SARA JANE CLARK FLORENCE MILDRED COLLINS The word dignity, personified” Franklin Grammar School Sara is a willmg.'y accepted addition to our class. When we entered C. II. S. Sara was not with us. hut now we could scarcely do without her and are to be congratulated on having her as a classmate. She Is a very efficient manager of out- girls’ basket boll team, being so business-like and exact in her doings that we think she has promise of being either a filing clerk or a sutfragettc. She is seldom heard from except in an official capacity, but from outside rumors we truly believe that Sara will be tht belle” of Upland despite her suffragett- ish manners. Tinkle Bell. Tinkle Bell,” Tell me all ‘.e-day. Though 1 am a manager I’ll hear wliat you ve to say. A smile for all. a welcome glad A joval coaxing way she had.” Norwood G rammer School We have before us one of the most distinguished artists of the class of '21 Mildred paints and puts her ability to some ad- vantage. The pretty cards that she painted for the girls were much appreciated. She is going to art school when she leaves Chester, and '21 wishes her the be-st of luck. MILDRED COLLINS Mix together a good supply of common sense, and artistical ability, stir in slowly a large quanitlty of kindness, mixed with school spirit—and beat it if you can. 25 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MILDRED MORTON CONN I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice’ “Milly” Conny” Larkin Grammar School CATHERINE MAY CONRAD Thou art pale in mighty studies grown Larkin Grammar School ■Kitty Conny is one of the silent brigade. You wouldn’t think to see her in school that she could talk, but at home, or out with her crowd, she’s as noisy as the next one. She is fond of dancing and especially of football games; she never misses one. We’re trying hard to find out why, but Mil is more silent than ever on that subpect, if such a thing could be. Conny is a good cook and the man that gets her certainly will be in luck. For he’ll be getting not only a good cook, but what is even more rare, a silent woman! A suffragette she’ll surely be. Of that we have no doubt; For when she'� bustling down the hall, All others, please look out. Behold! the door opens and in steps an alert 11.tie lady. She is Catherine Conrad, our star girl debater; a fellow has no chance with Catherine as his opponent, for she has such an exceptional ability for argumentation. Not only as a debater does she excel, but also as a student. We congratulate her upon her success in winning the MacDade Scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Conrad has the honor of be- ing president of the French Circle, vice-president of Social Service, and secretary of Debating Club, proving her efficiency in each of these offices. With all this executive abili.y that Catherine has, wouldn't it be interesting if some day we should be asked to call on Presidentess Conrad” at the White House? Our Catherine burns the midnight oil. While pouring o’er her books of toil; Debating affords her lots of fun. And she’s an honor to '21. 26 OUR 1921 ANNUAL LILLIAN THOMPSON CRAIG “She has common sense in a way that’s uncommon.' “Lil” Larkin Grammar School Class spirit? Li] may look quiet, but she is there with enthusiasm every time, Lil has the reputation of being: a hustler. She has convinced us that everything she (loos, she does well. For instance, look in the Who’s Who Department of the Spectrum. Lil’s ability does not end there by far. She is quite an elocutionist. She has entertained us in Chapel on several occasions, and she gave a very interesting selection in our Junior Recital. Lil has loads of friends in Chester. How- ever. she bids farewell to us when vacation arrives. She seems to have cultivated a very soft place in her heart for New York. ISAAC PARKER CROWTHER “Content to live but not to work.’ Lai kin Grammar School “Ik” Duke Ik” might be caiied the man with the smile. This smile, with his winning personality, has won him many friends in C. II. S. In spite of his cheerfulness. Duke usually takes serious par.s in plays. In his Junior year he took the part of George Washington in a short sketch. This year he was the Doctor in our sketch fer the Freshman Reception. Ik Crowther’s face is pink and fair. He’s tall and lank and lean. A right straight part is in his hair. And mussed it ne’er was seen. Oh. she’s little, but she’s wise. She’s u terror for her size; Always ready for some fun; And she’s liked by everyone. Ik never bluffs, and doesn’t shirk(?) And no.—he never blushes! ?) He always does his share of work(?) And yes,—he always rushes!?) HELEN MYRTLE CULLIS “Behold, I am a nymph. OUR 1921 ANNUAL Larkin Grammar School One of the most graceful ladies in our class is Helen Cullis. She belongs to the dancing class at the Y. W. C. A. and in her Junior year gave us an exhibition of her art. Helen also debated. She was alternate for the gills' team in 1920. When she leaves these old walls (’. H. S. will surely lose a student and a friend. “Xo sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet. LENA DAVIDOWITZ The choicest things in lift come in small packages. Franklin Gramma i School “Hen Franklin School sent Lena as one of its best delegates. Lena took the commercial course and has done splendid work. You should see her work a typewriter; maybe she can’t make it go—and she doesn’t use the P. and H. System, either! Len is about one of the smallest daughters of 1921; one can scarcely realize how short she is unless he has seen her stand- ing in front of the measuring stick which was recently used to designate our heights. Len is seldom seen alone; Jennie is always with her, and, indeed, the two of them certainly make the “long and short” of things. The most attractive charm that Lena possesses is that winning smile which never wears off. There is no doubt that her future will be a decided success, if she keeps right on a smiling. A hearty nature and a merry smile Will mean success to you. mile by mile. OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARGARET VERONICA DOYLE ADELAIDE MERRILL DREW For my part, getting up dot's not seem very easy. Tupper Lake High School. New York No, we’re not implying that Peggy is lazy, for she isn’t, only she arrived at school one morning minus her belt. The reason? Well, Peg lives at Lin wood and 7.45 is rather late to get up; so Peggy forgot it. Peggy is very quiet and sedate, especially in study period. She scarcely ever gets a new seat more than once a week. Pegeen apparently is a man- hater. but just watch her some day in French (’lass. “Peg took the part of a Calamity Jane” in the sketch for the Freshman Reception, and she weeps beautifully. We are sure C. H. S. will lose a good sport and Miss Reaney, a physics star, when Peggy leaves to enter college. No matter where you wander. When you come back we’ll say, “Yes. Peggy dear, we love you In the same old way. Her friends—they are many; Her foes—are there any? Burlington High School Adelaide came to Chester High only in her Senior year, but sin- is known by every member of ’21. Drewy likes to dance and always attends all of the class parties. Her greatest ability, however, is as a student in Latin. Can anyone find her equal? We’ll say they can’t. Adelaide always attends the basketball games, for she thinks quite a bit of a certain member of the five. 1 guess Adelaide likes baseball, too, for he plays. We hope you gain your heart’s desire. Drewy. Adelaide Drew, she is so bright; No wonder why. she studies all night. 29 OUR 1921 ANNUAL “Virgie” “Jinny “Jinger VIRGINIA MAUDE DUNCAN “The long and short of it. Eastern High School. West Virginia in the two short years that .linger” has been with us. we have found her to he a very pleasant person, indeed. She has quite a few pet hobbies, among them sledding, dancing and the Cambridge Trust. It certainly must be a very superior establishment from all we hear of its various inmates. Just recently we notice that Jinny” has changed the mode of her coiffure! We suppose this is in preparation for June and her entrance into the business world. Her excuse for doing her hair a new way at this late date was that her family wouldn’t have recognized her picture in the Annual; but never mind, “Jinny,” they won’t recognize any of ns in our Sunday behavior. Come, “Jinny, now and talk to us; Tell us about the Cambridge Trust. When you graduate we all know That you’ll go there, or really bust. CATHERINE COE EGGLESTON “On with the dance; Let 'care’ be unconfined. Glenolden Grammar School “Kitty •Kit- Kitty is the shining light of the Senior Class on the basketball floor. She has played on the team ever since she entered High School, and this year is guiding its precarious destinies as captain. Kit is also president of the Girls’ A. A. Her favorite indoor sport is dancing; a good floor and a good partner are all she needs. The trolley that runs from Chester to Glenolden does a pretty fair business these days, we hear. It is also apparent that her interest in Ridley Park is waning; however, you shouldn’t believe all you hear. Kit certainly is one of the cheeriest persons in C. H. S., always laughing: you wouldn't think she has a care to hear here. Goucher cer- tainly is to be congratulated in receiving within her walls this popular and pleasing young lady. A female athlete have we here. A maiden liked by all; But yet despite her many arts She’d dance in any hall. 30 OUR 1921 ANNUAL BERTHA HETHERINGTON ELLIOT “Nothing could move me. be it avalanche or cyclone. Bertha is a practical unknown quantity in the class of '21. At the beginning of our Junior year Bertha entered C. H. S. and she’s still here, yet most people do not know it. She’s quiet; she’s unassuming; she’s so obscure that no one knows her traits either good or bad. Whether Bertha has made many friends in C. H. S. is a question, hut it is a fact that she has made no enemies. No one ever finds fault with her. hut no one has ever encouraged her. Our advice would he. Bertha, to show some speed and become a doer. Such an obscure little person Never yet was seen or heard. Tho the noise is deafening. Bertha never says a word.” MABEL EWALD Lai kin Grammar School Babe” •Kid- In September. 1917. Mabel arrived at Chester High School from Larkin Grammar School. Babe took part in all the class activities and is popular with the opposite sex. Babe seems interested in a certain member of our class, but we must remember that doctor’s sons are always entertaining. Mabel is very fond of dancing. She spends most of her spare moments in following up the latest styles in hairdressing. “Babe” is a good sport and we wish her good luck through her future life. 31 OUR 1921 ANNUAL FRANK BAND FRANCIS At my words, they became silent Franklin Grammar School Do not behave thyself unseemly, thou art in the presence of royalty. Dlttle canst thou imagine that such genius could exist in one human. Such fluency of speech, such ease of manner, such ability in athletics, never dwelt in mortal man heretofore. This royal personage even admits it himself and his word is law. But although he does admit his talents, he is a debater of no mean ability and has handled successfully the managerial duties of the track team. But Frank has a weakness. Yea—not a weakness—a passion—for dark curly hair and brown laughing eyes, especially when attached to a nice young female tongue twister. In fact, we question whether Frank thinks more of his Buick or his '‘Armstrong engine. Though he is a bit conceited. He debates with might and main; And though Buick made him Armstrong. We shall think of him «again. HELEN ELIZA GEST .lust give me time. Franklin Grammar School Helen is also a member of the silent brigade —-that is. in school she is. As is usually true in these cases, she is de- cidedly noisy in other places. Sin? is also one of our giggly members. She certainly does enjoy herself in Mr. Hartley's room. You have heard that Biblical expression, “Consider the 'lilies' in the field they toil not. neither do they spin. They certainly don’t seem to in C. H. S. The most work we have seen them do is, as the little verse at the top tells us, to hang on Helen’s locker door. We wish Helen every success in her future ousiness career, and hope that she will find as satisfactory a trysting place as her locker door in C. H. S. O-H-H-Helen. beauteous Helen. You’re the only G-G-G-Girl that I adore. When the B-bell rings, I will rush ’em, I’ll be waiting at the L-G-Li-locker door. 32 OUR 1921 ANNUAL THEODORE ELKTON GILBERT Like a snail, he gets there.” Watts Cl rammur School Although t ”21 has among her numbers many colored girls, Theodore is the i nl' boy of that race to graduate with our class. Hut he has fully upheld his rights among so many of the opposite sex. Theodore has never set the world afire by fiery speeches or has never aroused the students by a mad rush down the corridors, but he generally does his work and has always managed to get by. He is a very shy and bash- ful young man e’en though ho has had companionship with so many girls, but we believe that in the future he will do great things and even though he is a bit slow like a snail, he’ll get there A plodder s this ebony youth; He does his level best. Aim when a task before him lies. We tl ink he’ll stand the test. LLOYD GOMAN None but himself can be his parallel.’’ Franklin Grammar School A whistle down the hall, listen, is it?—yes, it’s Lloyd you can tell him by his tune. Poor little kid. she never did any sort of loving before. ’ Lloyd’s activities in C. H. S. are many Beside whistling we have football and such difficult tasks as conducting Literary Society and debating. Oh. yes, and les- sons. He didn’t have much chance on the gridiron on account of injuries receiv'd in the Ridley Park game. Lloyd on crutches became a common sight in the corridors. An athlete at anytime is interesting, but one on crutches is especially so. Lloyd would make a fine soap box orator, for he always has fiery defense ready for any challenged assertion. This makes him valuable in debating. A fiery orator is he. A fiery tempered lad. But can be said ol noisy Lloyd His countenance ne’er was sad. 33 OUR 1921 ANNUAL HENRY WARNER GRANT, JR. You look wise—pray correct that error MARGARET ELIZABETH GRAHAM Her heart was In her work. Peggy’ Upland Grammar School Here we have a quiet (?) and demur (?) young lady from the metropolis of 1'pland.She also is one of these people who deceive you by their silence. This was quite in keeping as a Freshman, but now adays she is changing slowly, but surely, and she chatters away louder than the loudest. Peg, while she lives up in this direction, Chester, and honors Chester High, by her attendance here, is really more interested in Wil- mington and the Chesapeake. We would suggest as a rem- edy. that she get a Ford and then Chcs” and Wilmington will be rearer. From the striving town of Upland Came a maiden meek and mild, For in a burg as that is How can anyone be wild? Larkin Grammar School “Gran tie’ Hen is the champion talker of our class. They say women talk, bu: Warner can beat every woman living. Grant also has another accomplishment; namely, the fine art of eating. Grantic’s by-word is When do we eat? When not busily engaged in these professions Warner, plays basket ball and talks with—. Then any time he has left, he devotes to study. Grant always passes, however. Some people do have good luck. We hope Grant’s luck continues. On each and every Monday night, To High Y he would go. But how he put so much away. No one will ever know. 34 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARY ELLA GRASTY Hark, hark! ’tis sweet music that I hear.” “May Watts Grammar School May is very quiet from all appearances, but is. neverthe- less. pood in her studies. With the boys she would have nothin to do. Music is the art which attracts her most. She plays the piano and the violin, and expects to study them more in detail after the completion of her high school course, with the intention of making music her life work. We hope she will be successful. May, the patient plodder. A musician fine would be. Playing fiddle and piano In the key of G. LILLIAN ESTELLE IDA GRAY “Her voice was ever gentle and low, An excellent thing in woman. Larkin Grammur School We are just beginning to realize that Lillian is not so quiet and unassuming as she looks. We have been told, from reliable sources, too. that she is quite gay and wide-awake when attending a party, for instance. We have realized for a long time that Lillian is bright. Lillian took part in the Operetta given by the Girls’ Choral Club this year. She possesses a low, musical voice and eyes that simply talk. Vi e believe that she uses both advantageously. Tall and slim, neat and prim. Always seemed so quiet. Hut not always—we’ve found out. And she can’t deny it. 35 OUR 1921 ANNUAL OSCAR A. GRAY “The worst spoke in the wheel, makes the most noise.” (Xo, Oscar, we don’t mean that, we’re only joking.) A couple of years ago. a big six-foot farmer came down from oft’ the faim and entered C. H. S. It soon developed that Oscar brought with him a propensity for chewing gum, which stood with him during the rest of his high school career. Oscar budded blushingly into a star center on the football team, and woe to the opponent when Oscar lovingly grabbed him around the legs. As in football, so is he in his lessons. Oscar is a Jolly, good fellow, and no gloom stands near when Oscar ambles in. He has our best wishes for the future. “We miss your smile and cheery grin. And over moving, ’rambulating chin.” WILLIAM D. S. GRAYSON He who fights and runs away is not Bill Grayson. Dewey Grammar School Bill Bill the fighting Irishman. What stirring memories does his name bring back. Ferocious tackier, bull dog line drives, stone-wall defense—all these a ml more tactics of the grid- iron does his name recall. The Fmerald Isle has no better representative than old Bill. His name will go down in the annals of C. H. S. as one of the gamiest, never-say-die play- ers that fought for the ALMA .MAT 10It. “Come all ye faithful, and gaze at I fill. And do ye likewise. 36 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARGARET ANNA HADDOCK A penny for your thought Peg” Larkin Grammar School Peg is one of the girls whose appearance is deceiving. She seems mild and quiet, but you’d be surprised if you’d hear her chattering sometimes. Peg is always very busy with her lessons and the social activities at school, not to mention her many engagements at home|. She, like other girls in C. H. S. is attracted by the P. M. C. There’s one mysterious thing about Peg, and that is that she is greatly interested in the choir of her church, and no one knows whether it is the choir collectivelv. or singly. Peg is always in demand as a secretary and on- of severa! arduous positions she has held in C. II. S. is secretary of this Senior Class. Knowing her ability in this field of work, we feel sure that she will one day be the secre- tary of a big man—say the Mayor of Chester! Small in being, large in mind. Girls like h-r arc hard to find. MARGARET LILLIAN HAGERTY Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing quality It has been called the bright weather of the heart. Larkin Grammar Scool Peg Who will ever forget the old maid in the Flower Shop? Peg was a fine old maid on the platform but she will never be one. not so long as Sleepy Jim is alive anyway. We can’t blame him for liking her, because she is certainly all that anyone could wish lor Peg was good in her studies and she was an excellent actress. The Flower Shop was only one of thi many examples that exhibited h« r talent. As an actress she is great. As a churn she's fine. Put she’s hardly ever late To Jimmie’s welcome sign. 37 OUR 1921 ANNUAL DOROTHY SCOTT HALL “For men may come and men may go, but I’ll talk on forever.” “Dot” Watts Grammar School Don’t over ask Dorothy if she wants to study history. From the time the entered Chester High School her one com plaint, was, “I hate history.” Now if you should meet a young lady who always stands on one foot and bites the end of her finger you will be sure that it is Dorothy Hall. Every class that she attends she is sure to hear this strain— Stop biting your finger! Stand on two feet! Give me your answer Toute-de-suite!” ELLWOOD HARVEY “And when a lady’s in the case. You know all other things give place.” Larkin Grammar School “EH” Did you ever sc3 a tall, lanky youth (taking extraordin- ary large steps) walking down the corridors? Doesn’t he seem mysterious? Please don’t worry; it's only Ell Harvey. Ell came to C. H. S. along with the rest of the class of 1920 but he soon left us and went to Staunton Military Academy. He decided that we weren’t such a bad school after all, and ho came back to graduate with the illustrious class of ’21. Ell has the good record for being late. He is late about five days out of—five every week. Better late than never, Ell, and we wish you success when you start your college career. Ell surely likes the ladies. Of that there is no doubt. For many a fair damsel Knows his Dodge runabout. 38 OUR 1921 ANNUAL HUBERT WILMER HENLEY Curse on laws but those which love hath made.” “Hubie Upland Grammar School Hubie” is one of the stars of our class. He has held a number of important ofllces in C. H. S. In '20 he was president of the class. Hubert was a member of the “Dauntless Dozen and president of the Latin Club in '21. A debater and reader, too, he was. In the Junior Recital he took part and his work cannot be forgotten. With all these line marks of distinction our friend has a serious failing. He is troubled with a twitching of the eyelashes—some rude person has been mean enough to call him VAMP.” Hubie. oh Hubie. you’re surely right there. With your sweet little smile and delicate air; With a shine on your shoetops and very dark hair, There’s only one like you; your species is rare. ROBERT HOWARTH, 3D Alas! the love of woman! it is known To be a lovely and a dreadful thing.” Larkin Grammar School Bob Runt Ladies and gentlemen. I wish to present to you Mr. Robert Howarth. 3d—with special emphasis on the third. Naturally, it stands for three things, or rather, his three hobbies: 1. Ladies! 2. More ladies! 3. And more ladie3! Bob came to C. H. S. as a freshy with the class of 1920. The next year he left us and went to the sunny south.” It soon became too hot down there for Bob. so he returned to Chester High. This time he cast his lot with the class of 21. Bob has been kept busy all this year. He has shown that he is capable of doing real. hard, manual labor, for he is stage carpenter. He also directed a play that was presented in Dramatic Society. And he can dance! We've always wonder why. When lessons all went wrong. Bob didn't leave his Chandler home And bring a horse along. 39 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ANNA EVA HOWLEY MARGARET EUGENIE HUTTON “A fox trot is her delight’’ “Ann 'Anner” Larkin Grammar School This is Aimer. She is not quite so quiet as she looks, for she’s in for ail the fun that comes along. Ann is always in demand for a party. because she dances so well. She is also a very good student, and can answer a history question any time at all. IJcr answers suit Miss Jackson, too. Ann has achieved quite a success in the literary world. Look for her work in the Spectrum. Anner is very fond of children. In- deed, we believe her affection for them, really, is greater than her love for a dance. After a course at West Chester, she intends to do kindergarten work. We hope both she and the “poor little lambs” survive. Anna likes to study, some, Anna likes to dance and sing. Anna says she’s going to teach, But we predict a “ring.” I am sure that exertion does not agree. With a quiet refined little girl like me. Glenolden Grammar School “Hutton or “Peg” “Girls, this is the funniest one you ever heard. Then she tells the funniest joke that really isn’t funny. She al- ways tries to get home early, because she studies in the after- noon in order that she may see “Mickey in the evening. If you have not heard of Mickey,” come to the fifth lunch period some day and you'll soon learn. Margaret likes Chester, too, (or else she would not go to school there.) Peg likes to dance better than anything else. She dances at noon. She dances at night. And she loves to dance By the floor lamp light.. 4C OUR 1921 ANNUAL JOSEPH DAVID JEFFERIES ‘‘Carefree, that's me.” Jeff” “Duffy” Larkin Grammar School Another one who may add fame to the Industrial course of C. H. S. is “Jeff.” Although “Jeff” never showed any special inclination to study, he s a jolly good fellow. He is gifted with a fine tenor voice, the quaility of which he has not had a real chance to show in school because of h's co-operative training. But “Duffy” can sing, and if you don’t believe it, just pause at a church on a Sunday and you will believe it then. But “Jeff” has a weakness for the filthy weed and when not in school or at work can generally be found at the “Clubhouse.” ‘Tho not renowned for scholarship Or overdose of pep, As a singer of high tenor He’s sure to make a rep. THERESA MARCELLA JOHNSON As still as any still. Watts Grammar School Theresa is one of the very quiet members of our class. The only time one knows she is near is in class. Then, every- one wakes up to her existence. Is she brilliant? Oh. no. She is not brilliant, not at all. She can speak French as well as she can English. While in her other lessons she always has above eighty-five. The result is a little vacation at mid-years. We would like to know how Theresa spends her vacations. She is an acknowledged man-hater; and. as for movies, she wouldn’t go a step to see one. It can’t be she studies all the time. Theresa intends to teach. We wish her success in her work. Theresa Johnson, elle saitdu Francais. The Queen of France maybe She may be some day. 41 HUBERT JOHN KEENAN Men of few words are the best men. ________________________OUR 1921 ANNUA SPENCER RAY KEARE Great men have great youths.” President of the Freshmnn and Senior class, president of the Boy's A. A., president of the Dramatic Club, debater pur excellence, most excellent scholar, what more do you want? Every class has one man who is as near perfect as possible, a sort of demi-god. Twenty-one’s paragon is Spencer Keare Spencer crammed into his four years at Chester High all that four others could, yet he had time to make the football team for two years, the basketball team for two years, captaining the latter in his senior year. Whew—some record Isn’t it? He is also a good fellow and all are sorry to see him leave. So-long Spencer, we bid you Good-by, You sure made it hot for us in old Chester High. Hubert is one of the Industrial class of ’21. This is the first class of its kind to graduate from Chester High, and such men as he are surf to elevate such a course. He was one of the committee to choose a class memorial for the school. Hubert is a quiet fellow in the majority of cases, but is especi- ally so when in the presence of ladies, being in mental fear of weaker sex.” Although he is weak in the presence of ladies, he is strong in other cases, for “K. O” is the pugilistic aspirant of ’21 and also of Hogtown. We have little doubt that in the future years Hubert will gain renown in the fistic world. He’s a scrapper bold, you see. K. O.” that’s his name. But he’s shy and bashful too, Girls arc not his game. 42 OUR 1921 ANNUAL FLORENCE MILDRED KERSHAW SAMUEL HERMAN LEIBOWITS “Silence is golden.” A fool talks, but a wise man speaks.” “Floss' Larkin Grammar School Another member of the Dauntless Dozen appears before us. Floss was a brilliant student in Virgil; in fact, all her studies were up to the mark. Florence has a friend, or al- most a twin sister, in Chester High School whom she is al- ways with. If you can’t find Floss, look for Eugene, and you may be sure that Florence will be near by. F oss was a quiet little maid. Of this there is no doubt; But who did come on Wednesday nights, And keep our Flossie out? Franklin Grammar School Sam Sam is one of our most distinguished scholars. He has a scholastic ability seldom equaled among his classmates. His greatest brilliance is shown in mathematics, although his superiority in English may be shown in his debating ability. Although Sam has not been honored by any position in the class, he is respected by his classmates because of his ability. Outside of school we know little of his life, but if we listen carefully, we find that Sam occasionally touches the gay life. Be careful. Sam. and think before you leap. Sam is really a credit to ’21 in scholastic ability and in all round spirit. A debater and scholar. A fellow known well. But look out for the high spots. Or you’ll go to----------. 43 OUR 1921 ANNUAL PRESTON CHARLES LILLEY “A brain not much the worse for wear.' Larkin Grammar School Preston made his debut in Chester High School In 1918, and promptly monopolized the attention of the freshman girls. He says that he simply can’t get Civics. Our suggestion is to spend more time with his books and less over on Ninth Street. However, when he is nominated for President of the World, we’ll vote for him. He was given charge of the electrical work during entertainments, and his car and efficient operation of the lights has won the approval and appreciation of the dra- matic and Glee Clubs of the school. His work in his studies makes us proud to call him a son of the class of 1921. A worker of the finest sort With wires and bulbs and such. For when it came to ’lectric things You could not show him much. ANDREW MacBETH 'That part that never departs. Franklin Grammar School Andy Andy entered C. H. S. in the fall of 1917 and set sail on the then frail ship known as the Industrial Course. After a four years' voyage his life in C. H. S. came to a pleasant termina- tion. for Andy possesses the longed for parchment. The part in his hair has always been a mystery to us all. It's always there. Well, Andy do your life work as well as you part your hair and we know you will be a success. Here is a man of complexion fair Who surely is known by the part in his hair. 44 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARGARET FRAZilR MacFARLENE When (lid morning ever break And find thy beaming eyes awake?” HERBERT SMITH MALANY For he’s a jolly good fellow. Maggie' Jiggs Larkin Grammar School Margaret MacFarlene. alias Jiggs”, is well known to the members of the C. H. S. She has held many executive posi- tions during her stay within these walls, and served many times on the dance committees, from which may be gathered that “Jiggs is a dance devotee. She has not only proved bet- worth in executive work in C. H. S.. she also has a good scholastic standing here. Her brilliant work has often brought a note of comment in economic history class, she has a per- fectly awful time keeping awake. It may be the work, or it may be dreams, who can tell. If dreams, they take the form of automobile dreams in a Studebaker car chauffeured by a Johnson. Besides taking a great interest in her school work. Jiggs also had an interest in one branch of athletics, namely, running. She even has a medal for running. Question—did she run. or not? At any rate she got the medal! She’s fond of autos, medals, too She’s fond of Johnson, yes. But what she thinks of when she smiles You’ll ne’er solve, so just guess. Dewey Grammar School Herb Spike A produci of Dewey School and a good example of its training. A strong gust of laughter blew Herb into our midst, and we are still laughing at his seemingly inexhaustible supply of jokes. We particularly remember the time the boss sent him to the tool crib for a flexible twist drill. The good humor that seems to radiate from him has won many friends dur- ing his sojourn here. They all wish him success in his chosen profession of machine designing. A joker and a jollier A scholar of the heal. For when it came to things like this Herb sure could stand the test. 45 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARTHA PRATT McCLOSKY •Speak not; do not disturb me.” Larkin Grammar School We have before us one of the most quiet girls in C. H. S. When she entered in 1917, she was a quiet Freshie. and al- though. she is now a “mighty Senior” she has not gotten over lier quiet ways. There are two things Martha delights in do- ing; first, to dance, and then, to go to Ihe movies. You might see her almost any day either going to or coming from a show. I have tried and tried to think Of words that would suit thee. But only two words seem to fit Which are “quiet” and “carefree.” BESSIE CROFT McFADDEN “In dancing her days were spent” Larkin Grammar School “Bess” Not many people in the senior class know that we have a budding Pavalowa in our midst, but it is so; Bessie has taken part in many of the fancy dances given in High School and over at the Y. W. C. A. Besides being interested in dancing, Bessie is also interested in basketball and is a sub for the reg- ular team. In spite cl the fact that Bessie mourns for a“date. ' her time seems to be quite well taken up. Bessie is a com- merical student, Pul we feel sure that at some future time we shall be paving as high as five dollars to see her dance, and we shall come away ftom the performance feeling Justly proud of another of the distinguished members of ’21. Now watch this dance. Yes. of course that’s Bess; You’ll think she’s a fairy. But you’ll miss your guess. 46 OUR 1921 ANNUAL WILLIAM MORRISON McMONEGLE “The League of Nations .should not be.” “Bill” “Senator Fra nklin Grammar School So spoke brave William. Could we but listen forever to Senator McMonegle we should be thoroughly convinced that he was right. No other mortal knows history as he. But Bill has other than political thoughts. He is the successful manager of the boys’ basketbal: team, taking orders from no one and giv- ing them to every one ?). In his official capacity he is a mem- ber of the Executive Committee of A. A. and as such has en- tered into many lively discussions with our noted lawyer. But Bill will, without doubt, gain fame for the name of McMonegle by his political utterances. Ho cannot be convinced That he is in the wrong. For be it proved by thousands. His head is every strong. CLIFFORD GRANT MILLER Still waters run deep. Folsom School •Cliff “Cliff” came to our open arms In 1918. He showed promis- ing qualities as a baseball player in his first two years here, but because of the cooperative plan of his course, his fame as a pitcher has been delayed somewhat. He may be a wild cat in his own home town, but as we have seen him only during his school hours, we believe him to be a shy little boy—but a regular fellow at that. His success in his studies is due to his love of having everything just right, whether it be studies, business, or the part that divides his hair so terribly accur- ately. We wish him success in the profession of his choice. A teacher he would strive to be And he did strive in vain; For his lesons took him from his task Not to return again. 47 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ROBERT LEONARD MILLS A man to be admired ’ To this young man wo owe this book, the record of our class and our school. Bob is the ever busy editor of the Annual and also of the Spectrum. This in itself is quite a job, but Bob is interested in everything around the school. He debates and is a track athlete. The class of ’21 was fortunate in having Bob as class president during our sophmore year. Outside of these many school duties Bob takes in all the school dances and 'tls rumored that h:s smiling countenance has awakened many a maiden’s heart. But Bob is one of our best liked members. a fine fellow, and '21 wishes him nothing but the best of luck. A fine old fellow Bobby is. A worker, and scholar too: But he can dance around with girls When lessons, they are thru. HARRY C. MOLITZ Knowledge is better than pearls.” J-arkin Grammar School Moliks” The handsome young man you see in the picture is Harry Molitz. Eddystone, Pa., the seat of learning. Possibly that is why Harry is such a good scholar, for the atmosphere of Eddystone is like that of Boston. Learning is radiated from all the inhabitants, including Harry. To look at him you wouldn’t think he was Harry Molitz. the scholar. Harry is so neatly attired, part-in-the-middle-hair, that you wouldn’t know he was such a bright fellow. He is also a Jazz Baby,” for no one is so graceful on the dance floor as is Harry. Ho glides about like a fairy queen. Well, Harry, here’s luck, for your gliding thru life in a few short years. Harry Molitz A. B. E. He is a learned “jazz baby.” 48 OUR 1921 ANNUAL WILLIAM MOSSER JOSEPH ANTHONY NACRELLI “Friends have I many, foes none.” Not a smile nor a laugh, but a grin, that's him.” ‘Rill” “Hull” Franklin Grammar School Bill came to C. H. S. from Franklin School in 1918. Al- though a quiet, unostentatious sort of fellow, he has made many sincere friends while in Chester High. Bill made the varsity track team in 1920 and has done good work on the track and in cross country. He’s a good natured sport and endures all the practical jokes that his type is subject to, with a smile. As a student, he is good. As a friend, he is excellent. Wle have heard that Bill wants to be a mechanical engineer. We wish him the best of luck in his profession, and a!so with the intense person on Eighth street. Dewey Grammar School “Yellow “Farmer From morn till night this small grinning piece of humani- ty is seen roaming here and there, heedless of his next stop- ping place. Rut Yellow” is a very successful manager of our baseball team and also a very conscientious one. During his school career he has made continued efforts to play basket- ball, being captain of our second team in his senior year. Joe comes from way out on the farm; hence the name “Farmer.” He is a congenial fellow toward everyone, but says what he pleases, which characteristic has been noticed in several dis- tinct cases. However. Joe is a hard and conscientious worker and will no doubt gain credit in his future vocation, which he tells us is that of a pharmacist. He's a jumper of renown With the pole and yes, without. But he’s so quiet at our school That we scarcely know that he's about. Such a little chap is he. But he’s hard as he can be. He’s a worker, good and true. And a baseball magnate, too. 49 OUR 1921 ANNUAL WILLIAM HARRY NETHERY Every man must get to Heaven his own way.” SAMUEL HENDRIXSON NEWSOME “In framing artists, art hath thus decreed: To make some good, and others to exceed.’’ Hill” Franklin Grammar School Bill Nethery. a graduate of Franklin Grammar School ar- rived with all the other Freshies of 1917 at the portals of Chester High School. Bill’s greatest ambition is to be a minister. After leaving Chester he wants to attend college and finish at a seminary. Twenty-one wishes him great success. Bill Nethery is his name. From Franklin Grammar he came. The Christian Endeavor And churches together. Will help him to build up his fame. Franklin Grammar School “Sam” Sfcnce the time “Sam” entered as a Freshie. he has had very little to say. but has allowed his artistic ability to speak for him instead. Many a time and oft have we seen dance post- ers in the corridors signed “Newsome, and indeed they re- ceived very favorable comment. Not only with the brush has Sam shown his skill, but with the pen he is equally success- ful. and his articles have often appeared i.n the Spectrum. “Sam” is editor of the Science and Invention department of the Spectrum this year. It will indeed be a great honor to ’21 to find the works of our Sam” displayed in the Metropolitan Art Galleries some day. Go to it, Sam;” your class wishes you great success. Some day 1 shall paint to my heart’s content. With nothing to worry about but the rent; I once “Newsome great things—other than paint. But there’s none I like better, indeed there ain’t! 50 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARY MILLER OUSEY “And dances till she see The doubling lustres dance as quick as she.” LILLIE MAE PADGETT She tells you flatly what her mind is.” Larkin Grammar School Among the Freshies” who came over Ninth street in 1917, we found Mary. Mary has been an active member of our class. She has taken part in dramatic performances; and often she has entertained the gang successfully mimicking certain characters in school. Mary just loves to dance, and she can dr all the latest steps. She took the commercial course, and having done co-operative work this year, we have not seen much of her. Mary has done splendid work while in high school, and C. H. S. will lose a good s.udent when she leaves. She is very fond of the work which she is doing; we hope she will continue to like it. Our best wishes for success, Mary! Mary. Mary, quite contrary. How does the new step go? Four s.eps forward. And four steps back. And then dance round to you- beau. Watts Grammar School Lillie loves to talk. To look at her you might he misled into thinking that she was a studious person. Lilly is quite a singer. She and Mabel sang a duet together in class one day. After several spells of giggling, they finished the duet -prob- ably the pupils, too. Lillie does not expec: to take up a musical career, but expects to follow in the footsteps of her sisters and be a teacher. A schoolmarm she will be so fine. Unless she is a Valentine. 51 OUR 1921 ANNUAL DOROTHY GRACE PARK RALPH WESTON PARKINSON A musical being. ”1 stari as from some dreadful dream. And often ask myself if yet awake. Dot” Eddystone Grammar School From the wilds of Eddystone drifted “Dot.” Yet she is more than a dot, yea—. even than a large dot. Dorothy has many talents. She can sin , which was proved in the operetta given by the Girls’ Choral Club; she can talk, she can write, and all well. Her offices during her high school career have been quite numerous and her duties also. Her talents are well defined and she is well liked. All tasks assigned to her she has done to her credit. However. Dottie has a weakness for min- ister’s sons and probably we shall some day hear her “Howells” in some Methodist Church choir, but we are not sure if she will “Park ’or” self there or not. She Howells” all day. She Howells” all night. She writes us poems too; — Or Park or fish or” anything. And this is all quite true. Norwood G rammer School Parky” “3 Q .1 Parky” has invented an appartus by which you can com- municate with Mars by wireless. Don’t be alarmed If you should sometime hear that our former classmate had in- vented such a contrivance. Ralph makes quite a hobby of wireless, and, confidentially, he expects to be a wireless oper- ator on one of Uncle Sam’s ships. Parky” already holds a wireless operator’s license from the Government. He is presi- dent of the Chester High School Radio Club this year. Parky” is one of our silent men. It is rumored that he gets scared to death when he sees a girl advancing toward him; and yet he is a good dancer. How do you do it. “Parky? Dream- ing is another hobby of which Parky” Is an enthusiastic follower—to such an extent that he once allowed himself to he marked absent, while sitting directly in front of the teacher. A wireless operator I would be. Rolling over the bounding sea. 52 OUR 1921 ANNUAL JENNIE PAUL CHARLES RUSSELL PECK “As merry as the day is Ion ?. “The gentleness of all the gods go with thee. I’aul Franklin G ram mar School Yes, she’s just as merry as she looks, and then some. She is a firm upholder of the adage. Laugh your way through life.” Studies are the least of Jennie's worries, (so she says). But she always gets through. We wonder how. Jennie is quite a mystery; everyone wants to know something about her. For instance. “Who is Frattentourg? “Why is she interested in the 'Punch Bowl'?” and many other such questions. Whoever Mr. Frattenhurg is. his letters seem to be very interesting. Jennie is quite a baseball player; and we predict a bright future for her as pitcher for the American All Stars. Jennie, Oh Jennie, Oh do you like cars! Oh. no! I’d much rather pitch for the All Stars. Lai kin Grammar School “Pocky” Russell has gone through his high school course in a rather calm manner. We have been told that “Lena is his queen of Palesteena,” and yet the plot becomes more compli- cated when we know that Margaret is the third party in this triangular affair. Due to the fact that both young ladies are brunettes, we wonder Just what Russell's method of vamping must be. “Pecky took the part of John Alden in the Fresh- man Reception play. It seems that he has a peculiar fond- ness for Japanese Incense. He has come under its si ell to such an extent that recently he burned some while in class. The astonished teacher believed that “Peckv had been smok- ing. Russell is a member of the commercial section, and we hope he will be successful when he enters the commercial world. P ecky appears so very shy. E very time they see him; C an it be that he’s on the sly, K eeping company with them? 53 MARY E. PETR I KEN ••Who’ll take the place of Mary ’” OUR 1921 ANNUAL GEORGE LEONARD RAPPOLD •‘Not a talker but a thinker.” “Pet Franklin Grammar School One of Mary’s aliases is “Madam X.” the school vamp. We always heard that drama and a vamp go together and in this case it seems to be true. On many occasions she has demonstrated this ability to us. She has shown us that not only can she act but also she is a splendid director, (or direct- ress we should say) of a play presented at our Dramatic Club meetings. She certainly is a valuable asset to the club. Mary, like a great many in this class is very, very fond of dancing. She dances to and from her classes, she dances while she leads the girls in cheers, and she is especially fond of dances at Swarthmore (with ). No matter what work Mary takes up we are sure that she will make as great a success of it as she has of her work in C. H. S. Norwood G rammer School “Bismarck’’ Leonard Rappold, even tho’ he comes from Norwood or somewhere out there, is no farmer. He is a successor to Bis- marck. thus gaining for him his title “Bismarck. Leonard is also a wireless man, besides doing the duty of upholding the methods of the Prussian statesman. Some day he will prob- ably repeat Bismark or Marconi, we are not sure which. “Leonard Rappold- -he’s Bismarck, But he sure can fool with the wireless spark.” She was an actress of the stage, A singer of high degree, But now dear reader, the story’s out— A vampire hold is she. 54 OUR 1921 ANNUAL O. TILGHMAN REDDEN “The noisy spoke in a small wheel.” HENRIETTA THOMSON REDMOND “Still her tongue ran on.” 'Tck” “Oswald Larkin Grammar School A tall, dirty-blond haired, side hoarded, Roman nosed per- sonage is “Irk.” He is a humorous being. Oswald is another of our famous Industrial class and is self appointedly their spokesman. His has been a checkered career in C. IT. S.. coming and going at will. His visits to this old school have been num- erous. However, in the evenings Ick has other employments than that of school work, and instead of carrying notices. Ick notices Carrie. Hut he will, no doubt, some day, be tht- prize comedian in a first-class vaudeville if our expectations for him Carrie.” Lai kin Grammar School Hen Hen is a noisy member of '21. She is always talking, or laughing, or teasing. Talking and eating are her pet amuse- ments. Almost every day after school, lien, with a chosen friend or two, can be found at Rossard’s indulging in her fa- vorite confection. Hut for all her talking and teasing. Hen is a good classmate. She stands well in her lessons, thus helping to keep ’21’s standing high. A cheery, bright person is always a welcome addition to any class. This quality is also a good one to have in the business world, and so with the aid of her nimble tongue, we are sure that Hen will have no trouble in her future business career. Queer and talkative is he. Kind and cheerful eyes. Rut to c.arry Carrie’s burdens He will fail her never. Not a speed-king, or an artist, Rut a scholar very good. This she’s proved in many cases. For her head’s not made of wood. 55 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ALICE GARFIELD RICE And she did—bob her hair.” Franklin Grammar School Alice came to C. H. S. with the rest of Freshios in 1917. Her chief aim at present seems to be to graduate. Alice is never seen loitering in the corri lors; her interest seems to be elsewhere. In the classroom. Alice does not have a whole lot to say, but when you get her started—Oh-o-o—she can talk. W do not know what she intends to do when she graduates but her classmates wish her the greatest success. FLORA LILLIAN RICE ‘As full of learning as the sea of salt Harvey School Flora is a very bright young lady. She always knows her les- sons, but she won’t always recite them for substitute teachers. Perhaps she thought that S. Keare wouldn't know whether she was right or not. Flora is one of the girls who is consistent. She is always quiet. She certainly believes that silence is golden—and in this case it seems to be. You may have to fairly drag information out of her, but she has it. In school. Alice seems to be quiet, sedate. And lessons don't worry her much. Hut when at a “ball,” she is some fashion plate With her velvets and laces and such. A member of our Afric tribe. A maiden bold is she; For thought she has a saintly look, Don’t believe all you see. 56 OUR 1921 ANNUAL BURTON CLARENCE ROAN ELIZABETH EVERETT ROMANS -Hurt As welcome as sunshine in every place, J« the beaming approach of a good-natured face. Franklin Grammar School She smiles at all, yea even us. llammonton Grammar School “lab” Burt is a perpetual smilage book. If you hear a giggle anywhere at all in C. II. S., you may be sure it's Burton. Some one said that Burt goes to bed very late at night. We wonder why? It surely can’t be that he studies. We suppose he has to invent a new speech for a mass meeting; such as. Friends Students. Classmastcs, etc. Burt is the cheer leader, uncon- querable. When he starts, you can't stop him. Burt also stud- ies. once in u while. Roan is a debater, orator, dancer, lady's man, 'n everything. Perhaps you’ve never seen a math shark. Now Burton is (but keep it in the dark). For his professor has failed to see the spark. In the fall of 1917 Chester complained of mosquitoes. Upon investigating; we found that they were Jersey mosqui- toes. They were traced, and it was decided that they had become inseparable friends with a little girl who moved from llammonton to Chester. Lib was a good student, and we were glad to have her join us. Lib was interested in her studies and al = o in a certain young man. I wonder if you know whom? “A solemn young lady of dignified air, She slips in so quietly, you don't know she’s there; Although at exams with distress she is seized. Her fears are unfounded; she passes with ease. 57 JOHN JOSEPH RONEY ELIZABETH ANN ROWLES “Made for service, not for display” MMy state of health none cared to learn; My life is here no soul's concern.” “Jack” Franklin Grammar School When in September. 1917. Franklin Grammar School sent to us “Jack, she did a good thing for H. S. Jack's virtues were scarcely realized by the class of 21 during our first two years. But today he is respected. Never one to burst forth in exclamation, but always willing to help when asked. Tall, dark haired, not handsome, but serviceable. Jack was never heard to complain. He was manager of the Senior Boy’s bas- ketball team and also a member of this Annual Board. But whatever befalls, we are sure that Jack will be successful in anything he undertakes. A worker was he Of the nth degree And a fellow admired Who never got tired. Franklin Gra inmar School ”Lib” “Lib is a member of the commercial section, and this year has been doing co-operative work. She has been engaged at P. M. C. for stenographic work, and likes it very much. Who could blame her for liking it? Many another would have been glad to have had her opportunity. We have heard a casual rumor about a certain Berkheimer. We are very anxi- ous to know more about him, and would be delighted to have a testimonial from Elizabeth. She sings soprano in the Girls' Choral Club, and is one of our good stand-bys.” She has the wishes of the class in whatever work she may become engaged. I’m quiet as a mouse I'm told. But here’s my motto: Silence is gold.” OUR 1921 ANNUAL EMMA FRANCES RUTTER THEODORE (ROOSEVELT) RYSER “We must eat to live, not live to eat “For he is a jolly good fellow. “Pud” Glenolden Grammar School Pud has always been a quiet child, but full of fun. She was good in her studies, usually taking five subjects and getting away with it. Frances debated in the Girls Literary Debate and everyone wondered at the intense interest for the care of the children she showed in her speech. We were puzzled no longer when it leaked out that Pud was going to be a nurse. Here’s good luck to you in your chosen work. At lunch time Pud was always on the dot. because she loves to oat. She could eat not only her own lunch, but whatever else she could get. No wonder she was so thin. She likes pie. She likes cake. Pud. stop eating For goodness sake. Lai kin Grammar School “Ted Ted Ryser is another Red. No. we don’t mean that ho is a Bolshevik; the Red pertains to the general hue of his hair. We don’t know whether Red attracts the women or not: but it has certain charms for certain Larkin School belles. Ted also was on good terms with the teachers, but somehow he was more at ease on the diamond. No Intll, however swift, could find a passage through his hands. Ted is going to be a second Morgan or somethin’; at least, his prospects are good. “Baseball player, hair so red, Loves the girls; nuff sed.” 59 OUR 1921 ANNUAL NICHOLAS CHARLES SANBE •'Hard working goes to the fore.” “Nick Dewey Grammar School •A MOLLIE SAVITSKY shining star was she.” Dewey Grammar School “Mollie” As Shakespeare (?) said. ‘The best of friends must part”; thus does C. H. S. part with a good friend. Nick Sanbe. Nick hails from Sunny Italia, which perhaps is the source of his good nature. Nick settled down to hard work from the time he entered as a Freshman, and he was still working hard when graduated to become an Alumnus. There is no uncertainty that Nick shall not get ahead, for he has started out in the right way. By the way. Nick, what of the demure little femme down in the lunch room? What are you going to do when you part from her? Take her along, eh? That's the best way. Here’s luck to you, old boy. “He a ver gooda fella, this Nicka Sanbe, Because he coma froma da Sunny Italy.” Molly can brag of being the brightest girl in the class of ’21. Of course she does not though, because Mollie is not the kind of girl who boasts. People who are brilliant as she do not have to boast. Just to look at her you know she means work. Mollie was quite a quiet girl, but she always did her work. In history her marks were always among the highest. We don't know what Mollie is going to do when she leaves her Alma Mater, but we are sure that whatever she attempts she will make a shining success of it. Mollie was a good student. A girl with dark brown hair: She did not burn the mid-night oil. But her marks were right there.” 60 OUR 1921 ANNUAL EDITH DOROTHY SCHOFIELD LOUIS SCHWARTZ The height of fashion. The observed of all observers. Dottle Schof” Franklin Grammar School Schof is a very versatile young lady. If we need music in chapel, or Boy’s Glee, or the lunch room. Schof is always willing to help out; she can give us a taste of the old masters, or the latest jazz, she and Petriken being our leading contralto singers. Besides these accomplishments. Dot paints; any issue of the Spectrum, or our Annual will testify to her ability on that score. For all she is such a busy person, she finds time to get her work done and entertain also. She has just Gott to have some amusement sometimes besides her work and amusement at school. We hardly know which of her talents to wish her a successful career in; so we will wish her success in all. An artist at music and painting as well. But how she Gott there, she's sure Gott to tell. Quiet, hut companionable withal. Franklin Grammar School Louie” Louis stars in history class. There Is scarely a question that he is unable to answer. In fact, he is a good student in practically all his lessons. Louis was In the sketch given for the Freshman Reception. He looked for all the world like a pirate with his earrings and his red bandana handkerchief on his head. Although Louis did not take an active part in ath- letics. he was seen at the various games. He was quite gen- erous with his machine on several occasions. About these quiet chaps Your thoughts do often fail; He likes joy-riding, so they say. And a iso likes Rockdale. 61 OUR 1921 ANNUAL NINA MARIE SHANNON “He is a fool who thinks by force or skill. To turn the current of a woman’s will.” Norwood G rammer School Nina hails from the renowned place of Norwood. In again, out again, gone again, just about describes how long Nina stays with us after school hours. Her music takes up a large part of her time. Maybe that's the reason. Perhaps Norwood holds her interest. Nina is quite a talented pianist and sings also. The Girls Choral Club would not be complete without her. Nina has one fault she is inclined to be slightly absent-minded. Ask her to spell chicken, and she will look up with a faraway look in her eyes and say brightly, “Why! 11KX. Nina needs none to defend her. Though many would do it. no doubt; For she likes the men small. And she likes the men tall; And you will always find one about. JOHN BARTON SHELDRAKE Why worry? Tomorrow is coming. Norwood Grammar School “Butch” “Bart” “Farmer A lot of noise, a lot of chatter, a little piece of humanity, and that's he. “Bart” is one of the most burdened of our class; that is with offices. He is athletically and socially in- clined and has a hand in practically everything that pertains to these things around the school. A brisk little somebody he is. small, yet big hearted. He captained the football team and is a baseball and track athlete. Butch was entrusted with the finances of the class and the A. A., during his Senior year, being treasurer of both. But with all his work he has had time to attend the girls’ basketball games and also to attend bi-weekly conferences. Some say it’s too much, but we’re sure it's “an ITT”. Small in stature, large in thought. Madge is the angel “Farmer” sought. 62 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARY IVA SIDWELL Pretty to walk with. Witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on.” Ive T.arkin (Ira m mar School Ive was a pood student. She could not receive high marks, but she was a fine reader. In the Junior Recital Ive displayed great ability as an elocutionist. At the Freshman Reception she was stationed in the typewriting department to operate a machine, is she quick? Well, you should hear that typewriter when Ive's fin per s are tapping the keys. Fond of lessons, fond of books bond of fun and much pood looks. In C. H. S. she has fame. Iva Sid well is her name. DOROTHY MAY SKILLMAN Absence of occupation is not rest.” Dewey Grammar School Dot” Oh! tell me somcthinp quick; I haven’t studied my his- tory. and 1 11 have to po to the board.” This is Dot's usual complaint during: the second period American history class. Dot” is not very fond of studying; but always fears the con- sequence. She is quite a musician and likes to dance. She has a fascination for the movies, and can tell you the life history ot any actor or actress. Oh. yes, of course, she just, adores good-looking cars! Dot” is never in a hurry, for we often see her sauntering down the corridors in a care-free manner. “Dot doesn’t say much about him,” but we are all interested to Know who “he-’ is. 1 surely hate to study. I would much rather play. And go down-town to the movies. Than be kept in school all day. HU OUR 1921 ANNUAL ANNA CATHERINE SMITH “Certain winds will make her temper bad.” “Kitty” Franklin Grammar School “Page Miss Smith. Here she comes, our blondest blond. Is she not passing fair? Kitty is one of our eloquent talkers. She gave us a talk on Good Speech, in chapel one day, and for some time after we did not dare use slang when in her pre- sence. Kitty took the part of Miss Common Sense,'' in a little sketch that was presented. She was further honored by being made leading lady in the big play for this year. Kitty seems « fond of various sports!—but seems especially fond of Row-ing. Kitty rarely misses a C. H. S. dance, and seems to prefer tall, dark-haired, partners. Eyes so blue. Fair, and tall, Heart so true, I� ved by all. THEODORE CLEGG SMITH “Light tongue, light heart. Franklin Gramma r School “Teddy” A sweet faced (?) fellow is this young man. Studious (an- other question mark) and very quiet (ditto). He is a mem- ber of the Co-operative Gang and aspires to become a master mechanic or a second Edison, and if looks betoken genius, he is on the way. There is one thing that hinders him—women; especially the one down by the lunch room. (Don't blush, Ted. we can't blame you for that.) Although Ted and studies aren't the best of friends, you know the saying “People are either born good-looking or bright. Excuse me, Ted, I’m not insinuating. 'There goes Teddie, with heart so light. Although he is handsome, he is all right.” 64 OUR 1921 ANNUAL JACOB SOIFER •And even though vanquished, he could argue still.” JOHN EDWARD SPITZ “Jake” Larkin Grammar School Ladies and gentlemen: The honorable Jacob Soifer. O. Henry's Rival. Jake writes truly harrowing stories. His method, well, never mind. Jake seems to be always busy: he writes for the Spectrum and is a member of the Annual Hoard. In debating, however, he reaches the zenith of perfection. He has that rare and remarkable quality cal’ed a logical mind. Jake seems very quiet and calm, but, take our advice, don't start an argument with him; for, if you do, well you'll never live to tel' the tale. “ Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all.” Immaculate Heart School Spitzie” While taking stock of our class in September, 1918. we discovered a curly-haired, black-eyed youth lurking in the corners, trying to attract as little notice as possible. We hauled him out by means of the Industrial Debating Team and from then on his friends multiplied. His favorite pastime is delivering ponderous orations in Room 213, and he has proved himself a speaker and a debater of some merit. Spitzie’s ability in mathematics places him in an enviable position in that class. A fellow with an open eye And mouth that’s shut up tight; Rut when his mouth is opened up. His answer’s nearly right. At first a quiet lad. serene. Rut now he’s got some pep. Although he didn't star so fine. He has now quite a rep. OUR 1921 ANNUAL LILLIAN MARIE STOTT As good be out of the word as out of fashion. PEARL GENEVA SUMMERS A penny for your thoughts.” ✓ Larkin Grammar School You have heard of the hook called The Call of the Wild.” Well, in Lillian’s case it seems to be The Call of the Sea. Or, perhaps, the call of a sailor. Lillian is surely some dancer: In fact, she seems to have mastered all the latest steps. Around school she is very quiet. Indeed you would scarcely know she was in the room. Is that not a wonderful thing to be said about a woman? She will surely make a model stenographer. A sailor bold her idol was. But who he is, we'll vow We do not know we'd like to know. But can we find out. how? Watts Grammar School I’earl is that quiet, studious girl over there, poring over her books. It is her greatest pleasures, when not studying to think over what she has studied. For that reason, she is such a quiet girl. Pearl also gains her good marks on account of her studious habits. So we guess that her name is appro- priate. Pearl is quiet, she is bright. For the midnight oil. she burns all night. DOROTHEA WINONA SWEET She has so men-y friends. OUR 1921 ANNUAL FREDERICK CHESTER TAYLOR Lank and lean, always seen—(and heard) Dot Larkin Grammar School How does she get all her friends? Just look at her pic- ture. It s the smile and curly locks. I guess. Dot is one of the most popular girls of '21 both with students and teachers. You should bear her translate Virgil and history, ’nuff said. Dot likes Chester and CHS very well. but. somehow, she is always glad when summer comes so she can go to the sea- shore What’s his name. Dot? Sweetie holds offices in Social Service. Latin Club, and many other societies No matter if Dot decides to be political boss or to lead-er quiet life, she has our wishes for her success Within her final name, 'tis true. Her nature may be found; For scarce a sweeter girl is seen. If it be holy ground. Franklin Grammar School Chess Chess was a very valuable man in C. H. S. He took part in many of the dramatic programs and showed great talent. He was circulation manager of the Spectrum. Chess was also an indoor track man. In history he displayed a great deal of knowledge. Chester likes his studies but he also thinks a lot of girls. He believes that, “if you can’t be true to one or two, you’re much better off with three. Here is a runnef of great renown. His course is in and out of town. In pursuit of Margarets he is not a balker. Up the pike he will ride, but he’d much rather Walker. 67 OUR 1921 ANNUAL EDWARD CREERY THOMPSON RUTH HELEN VALENTINE “A braver choice of dauntless spirits Did never float upon the swelling: tide.' “Stand fast! to stand or fall, . Free in thine own arbitrament it stands. “Ed” Larkin Grammar School “Ed is one of the many musicians of our class. He plays the piano well, and has accompanied our Instrumental Club while in school. Had it not been for injuries. “Ed would have been one of our football stars; hut it seems that Fate foiled him in this respect. Ed” nobly enacted the part of a brave soldier in a play celebrating the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims, lie makes quite a good dancing partner, and used to show his ability during the fourth lunch period. King Edward was famous in English history. Here's one with not such a long family tree; The Edward of old reigned with power supreme. While our “Ed’s” attainment’s a football team. Leiperville Grammar School ‘ Ruthie' It is true that the Class of 1921 has a high scholastic stand- ing. Ruthie x one of our number who continues to uphold that honor, and we are very g ad to be able to have her as one of our classmates. She lias been doing line commercial work; this year she is a member of the cooperative group, and for that reason we set her only every two weeks. A very prominent characteristic in Ruth’s personality is her frank- ness. She says a thing and holds to it until the end. Very well did she adap herself to the Pilgrim atmosphere at the Freshman Recepti n and gave us a good characterization of a Pilgrim giil. Ruth has our sincere wishes for success in her future undertaking. When Ruthie had her picture taken. Sad she, That’ll never do, I shan’t have that in the Annual! But. dear friend, what think you? b8 OUR 1921 ANNUAL WARREN B. WALLS “Mutt Franklin Grammar School Warren came to C. H. S. in 1918 and became one of the great Industrial Army. He was made secretary of the Indus- trial Association this year. Because of the co-operative plan of his course, he did not enter the school activities or athlet- ics. He has two favorite pastimes—boxing and dancing. Warren is a dancer of ability and a boxer of ability. He is a familiar figure at all the C. H. S. dances. Norwood seems to attract him. and ’tis said that his carfare to and from that place wou d buy a Ford and gasoline to run it for a year. When Warren finishes his high school course, he intends to continue his study of Architectural Drafting. Warren is our bashful lad, Really now. it’s awful sad! A girl goes past him with a rush. You can almost see him blush. LOTTIE REBECCA WHALEY “Diligence is the mother of good fortune.' Lai kin Grammar School So spake the wise man and Lottie listened. Who can say that she hath not been diligent? No one. Of course, not. Industrious is no word for Lottie. Lottie not only studies but does many other things. She dances, sings in Glee, takes care of—(I daren’t tell his name), and oh. a million more things. Lottie has been very ill this year and deserves spe- cial commendation in being able to graduate with her class. We wish her success. She gives no one her “Grant.” without There is some lingering little doubt That he with her will not remain. And so from granting she’ll refrain. 69 OUR 19 21 ANNUAL MILDRED HADGINS WILKINS Sweet and charming, not bold. Larkin Grammar School Behold! One of the bright and shining lights of the Com- mercial Class, Mildred Wilkins. Mildred ranks very high as a student. We could rave all day about her marks, but what's the use? Everyone knows anyway. Her accomplishments not only lie in lessons but also in her ability to draw and to play the piano. Everyone expects something good when Mildred’s name is announced. We’re never disappointed. Mildred expects to gladden some corner of an office after graduation. We hope she will be as successful there as she has been in C. H. S. MABEL ELLEN WILSON Weird, carefree, never worried.” Watts Grammar School Benjamin Franklin” Strange things occur and never stop occurring, but this acknowledgement is startling. No one ever knew that Ben- jamin Franklin was a female. In fact, most people would protest strenuously against such a statement. But Mabel admits to the name, she even claims it. Why should she be called Mabel when even she calls herself Benny? We can- not fathom this. Mabel is also an artist at the piano and a dancer of merit. She’s a little Miss Jazz herself. To con- clude she thinks what she says and says what she thinks. That’s she all over, Mabel. Although in business. She seeks repose; At the piano, she's line, Everyone knows. Little Benny Franklin, That is who is here. Benny Franklin ne’er wore skirts. But he does now, we fear. 70 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ROBERT SPENCER WRIGHT, Jr. “Hark, I hear the worries!” ”B nes Larkin Grammar School Now, we have come to the political boss of our class— Hess Bones. This gentleman has allied himself with an im- portant party of our city politics. He is some vote gainer, this politician, for on election day he hurries hither and sk'.th- er all over for votes. Mark Hanna is an antiquated farmer when compared with Bob. And say. do you know that Bones put it all over Willie Hoppe last Week? Willie handed his crown over to Bob, when Bob was thru shooting pool with him. He’s some power, this Bones Wright. There is a fellow named Robert Wright, Who gained for himself a very great height.

We’ve reached the parting of the way, And now, to you dear Twenty-one, It is the time to farewell say. Our mother, you, our teacher, too. You taught us how to fight with life, Our conquerors, there arc but few, We’ve been the victors in the strife. For when upon us fall Fate’s blows We do not flee nor drop the sword, Instead we fight, till life’s blood flows And trust in you, Twenty-one, our lord. From children weak, to warriors bold, You reared us as a lioness brave, And when our sight and strength grow old Your precepts only will us save. “Be brave,” you said, “And merciful, too, That when the foe beneath you fall You’ll lift them up. Have enemies few And heed forever the Almighty’s call.” .1. Soifer. Class Flower: Forget-me-not 72 V M itL- M Sh °H OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS PROPHECY eRADUATION day had come—and gone. I wended my way sadly towards home, thinking of my past four years at dear old C. II. S. In my Land was the hard-earned diploma, but in my heart were happy reminis- cences of past years. They were thoughts that brought tears to my eyes, for never again would they be enacted in reality. I thought of that kindly mathematics teacher and her well-meant stinging sarcasm; I thought of that wonderful history teacher, urging, exhorting and threaten- ing us into learning the deeds of our forefathers; 1 thought of our most capable English teacher, enticing ball-players to write poetry and poets to compose business letters; and of our excellent science teacher, who tried, perhaps in vain, to make Lomonossons and Curies out of us. These thoughts turned to tears and the tears to sobs until I was really weeping. A policeman gazed at me from across the street, debating with him- self whether to arrest me for creating a disturb- ance, or to ’phone for the patrol-wagon to take me to the hospital. I finally reached home in a dejected state of mind, and I flung myself down upon the couch. Soon consciousness left, and I fell into a deep, profound slumber, like some one drugged. Slowly I perceived figures forming. Here I recognized the face of a well-known orator; there I saw the form of a renowned athlete. The vision became clearer—all the actors in it were my classmates. 1 saw immense airplanes, such not dreamed of now, volplaning about, denoting that this dream was of the future. I shall tell you all that happened in this vision. America was in the throes of the most ter- rible war of the world’s history. The United States of America — the forty-eight original States, Mexico, and Canada had formed an im- mense coalition to safeguard America from the ruthless onslaught of the Yellow Races. Prep- arations for war were going on feverishly. The roar of hundreds of air-craft was heard, carrying munitions and soldiers to the scene of action. I seemed to be a stranger in the midst of a wonderful, awful world; so to be enlightened fully, I purchased a newspaper from a tiny urchin who was rushing madly about the streets crying, “Extry! Extrv! Japanese fleet sunk outside of San Francisco.” 74 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS PROPHECY In large headlines I saw, with a strange thrill, “Admiral Keare Catches Fujiio In Trap.' Kcare. my old classmate, was head of the Navy! Glancing further through the paper, I saw, with astonishment, that Senator Francis was the head of the Peace Party in Congress. Opposed to him was Senator Conrad, the great Jingoist. I looked blankly into space—Catherine Conrad, the tiny girl of 1921, was now head of the war party in Congress, and Frank Francis opposed to her. Whew! That was almost too much to bear. And look again, “ President Rennie Raps Action of General Grayson.” Rennie and Gray- son! Rennie, President of the United States; and Grayson, general of the united armies! I sat down on the curbstone gasping for breath. Sud- denly a regiment of troops tramped up the street towards me. Ye gods! At the head of them was Tommie Lutterworth, whom I recognized in spite of his long white beard, for he still had his twinkling eyes and cheerful smile. I roused myself and fled, wondering whether 1 was dream- ing or crazy. After 1 had removed myself from the city and was some miles out in the quiet country, T pulled the paper from my pocket, to see if any more of my friends were in the thick of affairs. The paper was called, “The American Voice,” and guess who was editor? Yes, Bobbie Mills. Bob Mills, who had edited The Spectrum and the Annual. Will wonders never cease? All my classmates, it seemed, were in the thick of af- fairs. Yes, and Ayrsie was the head of the business department of the paper! I hurried back into the metropolis, for I had a burning desire to get into the game of life myself. I rushed into the nearest recruiting office, swiftly causing myself to become a part of the Aviation Corps. And do you know who was head of aviation? Lloyd Goman. Yes, Lloyd, of Chester High. I was sent to Wash- ington to a great aviation field there, to learn to fly. In Washington I met Secretary of State Henley and Secretary of Labor Redden. Now, what do you think of that? That night, my last as a civilian for a long time, I went to the most beautiful theatre in Washington. And who do you think was the star? Dorothy Parks, the soprano supreme. I was so surprised that I sprang up and fell off the couch upon the floor with a thud. I sat up, half dazed at my wonderful vision, but I knew that 1 had dreamed the future truly. J. Soifer. 75 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS SONG Here’s to thee, dear old Twenty-one, First in honor, first in right, Queen of other classes. First in loyal bearing; All the others, past and future.

INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT t T W OUR CLASS ADVISOR MISS HELEN M. FERREE OUR 1921 ANNUAL OUR SECTION HE arrival of February classes in Chester High School has neces- sitated a change in almost every phase of High School life. In the first three years, arrangements to meet the de- mands were formulated, and were carried out with more or less success. The big question, however, arose in the Senior year. We, the class of February. 1922, being the first permanent mid-year class, and greatly handicapped by our small num- bers, were unable to issue a year book of our own. Then the class of 1921 came to our assistance, and solved the problem by inviting us to share their Annual. It is to the class of 1921 that we owe our sincere thanks and appreciation for their noble and unselfish attitude. We hope that we have done our share towards making this year's Annual better than ever. However, it is our earnest wish and hope that the time will soon come when the February classes will be in a position to issue year books of their own. To our Alma Mater and all its stu- dents, we leave our best wishes. To our teachers, the companions of our joys and sorrows, we can scarcely express our in- tense feeling of gratitude for their labors and sacrifices in our behalf. Let the spirit of February, 1922. re- main. and with it. our assurance that those fond memories of our High School days will ever be recalled to our minds as long as we live.

Enion History X A N N KITE BREWSTER 92 OUR CLASS PRESIDENTS OUR 1921 ANNUAL REESE BEAUMONT “Jeff “Reese Reese came to us from Franklin School in February. 1918. He is one of the smallest in the class, but in his stud- ies he ranks with the best. Reese is studying to be a certi- fied public accountant, and he has already learned to type, count, and everything that goes with it. But that is not every- thing that he can do. Reese can also read the Bible, recite poetry, and sing soprano. The striking feature of this chap is his cheerful disposition. His sunny countenance ever radiates the world. JOSEPH HAMILTON BELL Good goods come in small packages, but are found in large ones also.” Larkin Grammar School “Kate” Hamilton Bell, we bid you farewell. It'll be a sad case when we miss your sweet face. Ham Bell is that big jolly looking fellow who’s good at his lesson, and good in looks. Aren’t you, Kate? We don’t know where he got that nickname, but it looks suspicious. But as Shakespeare asked. What’s in a name? We ask. What's in a nickname?” Well, there’s noth- ing to a name; it’s all in the fellow, and Kate makes it up by be- ing a jolly good fellow. Luck to you, Kate. Villain, villain, spare that wine. Touch not a single drop. In my youth it nourished me, But now I'll call a cop. Kate. Kate. He’s a jolly good skate. 95 OUR 1921 ANNUAL GEORGE SAMUEL BLOOM It would talk and never stop. ’ Georgie” Bloomey” Larkin Grammar School George is one of the Hebrew army of .Miles Standish. This space is ton small to describe that army, but despite the state, ments of history we have absolute proof that Standish had a He- brew army, at least a Hebrew regiment. But George has other duties besides those of the military. During his senior year he acted very efficiently on the advertising board of the Spectrum, and during his career aspired quite frequently to be a debater, but never really was. We doubt If George will ever be a lawyer, but we do believt that he will “Bloom” in other fields than C. H. S. He’s a never ending talker When he’s started pace for good; Tho' no one has ever stated That his hea%l is all of wood ADA BLUMBERG On one cold morning in February, my eyes beheld a little maiden demanding a roster card in the principal’s office. Could this by a full-fledged pupil or had one of tho primary students of Franklin School strayed into High School by mischance? No. it was only our little Ada. and from that day to this, Ada has never ceased measuring herself. In her estimation she is fully six feet, but we might hestitate a little over that and ray that is (to be exact) six feet, one and a half inches? Ada’s favorite question is. “Have you had any failures in history this semester?’ The mystery of history is great. Dainty and dark. Gay as a lark. Is Aida. 96 OUR 1921 ANNUAL NANNETTE BREWSTER “Nan “Polly C. H. S. did not know that when this personage entered from Franklin Grammar School, she was receiving one of the most ardent suffragettes of Delaware County. Without Nan- nette there could be no February '22 class. Who took charge of the Freshman Reception? Who writes all our history? Who thinks up all the new schemes? While in high school, she took the four-year commercial course. In her Junior year she decided to become a nurse, in her Senior year, to become a pharmacist, and now she is thinking of becoming a teacher. We wish her all that is contained in the word “success in what she finally decides to do. Polly is always jolly. And ready for all fun; And when it comes to studies, She’s brighter than the sun. JOHN THOMAS CALLAGHAN “He was a bashful, barefoot boy.’ Franklin Grammar School “Tex “Jack Behold the mighty. Callaghan. He who strikes death to the hearts of opposing batsmen. He. the pitching ace of C. H. S. For Tex is our star pitcher, the mainstay of our champion baseball team. But Tex is bashful He won't come forward in school and speak his mind, but give him a ball, a glove, and a prayer, and watch cut—opposing teams. He is as Irish as thev’re made. Look at that face. The map of Ireland. No— Then it’s a bad picture. However, we ve do doubt that some day in the newspaper will be these large headlines: Bashful Tex of Chester fame Won the A’s another game That decides the pennant race; Tex sure set a dizzy pace. 97 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ARTHUR CHATTEN MILDRED MARGARET CHENOWETH Arthur came with us to C. H. S. when we left Franklin Grammar School in February, 1018. He is not one of those classy, flashy fellows, hut a steady, dependable young man. lie is shy cn girls, and never had much to say to them. For that we give him well-deserved credit. Drawing is Arthur's favorite pastime, and with a little more practice he might obtain a cintract. Arthur will enter the business world and carve out his share of its benefits. Ah here comes a Senior, Stately and tall; He is the leader. Lord of them all. Millie The fame of Chester High School spread even as far as Cntensville. Md., where Mildred lived. She then packed up and came over to C. H. S. “Millie” has chosen the commercial course and intends to become a private secretary. Mildred is one of our quiet girls who do their work faithfully, and are rewarded when the reports come out. Here work in C. H. S. promises a brilliant career in the business world. Millie” comes from Maryland. Not very far away. But now she’s comes to Chester, With us she’ll always stay. OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARIE LOUISE CHEW On a bright sunny day :n September, 1017. one of the many Freshmen who entered Chester High school was Marie. She was a graduate of Larkin Grammar school. Marie re- mained in the 1921 class until the “Hu” epidemic struck our High school. Because of illness, she was forced to fall back and join the February. '22 class. We were sorry for Marie, but glad for ourselves in obtaining her as one of our members. She chose the commercial course and hopes lo become a private secretary. We expect to hear some day, that Marie is Secretary of State. Good luck, Marie! 'Tis true Marie is sometimes As quiet as she can be. But when she leaves her studies—• You ciinno. always see. GERALDINE CLARK Geraldine entered C. H. S. from Franklin School in the spring of 191S with the majority of the February, '22. stu- dents. She is known for her w nderful English and for de- bates. Without any effort. “Jerry' had eight perfect syllo- gisms in one of her debates. 1 •Jerry also admits that she plays the piano a little but as we never heard the perform- ance we cannot say how much. “Jerry’ is of such a happy disposition that she is loved by all she meets. She is espe- cially suited to be a doctor’s wife, since “Jerry’’ intends to become a nurse. We wish her the best of luck in her good work. This girl is not one of those Jerries. Who get the shovel or pick strawberries. 99 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MARY JERRINE CLOSS WALTER JAMES COPPOCK •Jerry” ‘Cow- In future years, the business world of Chester and vicin- ity, will be full of such'promising business women as •■Jerry.” She. also, has chosen to enter the business world, upon leav- ing High School. .Jerrino came to Chester High School after leaving Franklin Grammar School in February, 1918. Since then, she has been known as a fine, generous girl by all her acquaintances. Her special talent lies in music, as she illus- trated in the Junior Recital when she played a violin selection. Jerrine is ever cheerful, Her face is light and free; She. always is as happy. As e'er a maid could be. Since his arrival from Franklin School in 1917, Walter has never wasted a minute in C. H. S. He is either studing or do- ing something else. Walter's favorite period is the lunch period, and the most disagreeable is public speaking, for he is present there once a month. This young man is also a devotee of music, but not of jazz. Only sensible music hath charms for him, for instance, the sound of bells. Now let me introduce Walter as an athlete. Cow's athletic record is h'gh. He is one of our leaders in athletics, and he has done much toward making the football and basketball seasons successful. O, the music of the bells; What a story it foretells! Hail with Joy the sound that swells, From those gay dismissal bells. 100 OUR 1921 ANNUAL GUY DE FURIA When in February, 1918, Guy found that there was no more knowledge to be obtained in Franklin School, he sadly bade farewell to the accustomed surroundings and went forth in search of a more advanced house of learning. His wanderings brought him to C. H. S., and ho has remained with us ever since. From the very beginning Guy showed his remarkablo ability ns a scholar and soon acquired to a marked degree, the art of debating and essay writing. He has exhibited other symptoms of genius. Guy also showed a devoted interest to his class and its activities. His honest efforts brought their reward, and Guy was elected president for the Senior year. Guy’s successful career in C. H. S. foretells his future achieve- ments. We point to him among great men. His name with trumpets herald; This young man of such wondrous traits. Has Webster’s fame imperilled. ROBERT ELLIOTT Robert entered our class In February, 1920, from I’enns- grove High School. We were first aware of his presence in algebra class. Here he showed his mathematical ability. Rob- ert has made himself famous by his brilliant recitations, for he is well versed in many subjects. One would think that he memorizes books, but that it not true. It is only his power of reasoning and sense of intuition that enables him to shine so brilliantly. When he is walking in the dark. He shines so very bright, That all the heavens with their stars. Soon disappear from sight. 101 OUR 1921 ANNUAL AMY JOSEPHINE ENION MARY FENZA Amie” Mary” To Chester High School, there entered from Dewey Gram- mar School. In 1917. a very popular young lady known as Amie.” No one needs to be told when Amie” is about, for her laugh may be heard for miles around. She just loves parties, and particularly the one where she met—are details necessary? Why is it that Algernon is better than any other member of his sex? Ask Amy. Micha Elman or Heifetz has nothing on our Amie” in playing the fiddle. She can tickle, the keys” of the piaifo also. She is the artist whose works you will notice all through our section. Here is a maid, Of whom we are proud, For her pretty head. Grief never has bowed. Mary took the second step in her education when she came to Chester High from Dewey Grammar School, in Feb- ruary. 1918. When she arrived, her smile came with her. She is not known without it. It is hinted that Mary likes to go to weddings. We wonder why? Mary provided for her future by taking the commercial course. Already she is a fine sten- ographer and typist. If she goes to her business every morn- ing with her smile, the world will be so much the brighter. A song on the lip. And gay smiling eyes. Will drive away sadness, All sorrows and sighs. 102 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ESTHER FERRELL PARKER EVANS FISHER “Esther” “Fisher” “Park Esther found her way to Chester High School in 1917. Esther is one of those girls that do not make much noise. She is inclined to be quiet. She is very seldom even heard, but then we must remember that silence is golden. Esther always works hard to keep her averages up. She is very sociable and always has a pleasant smile for everyone. Esther intends to make her Iifework dressmaking; so we wish her luck with the scissors. Blessed is the woman. Who scorns both rouge and gold; Who keeps a peaceful silence. And speaks when she is told. Of course lie needs no introduction. We ail know Parker. He is the boy who takes care of the class money. Parker en- tered C. H. S. from the Spring Street Grammar School, Nashua, New Hampshire. Since then he has shown that he can do a little of everything. Parker has made a success of debat- ing, and his executive ability has gained for him the position of treasurer of the class. But if Parker ever decides to run away, no one will ever catch him, for he is one of the best track men in the school and also a good football player. We have noticed that Parker is fond of Japanese maidens, es- pecially leading characters in operettas. Parker intends to become a lawyer. We feel sure that he will succeed. Now gaze into his smiling eyes. And .ell the honest truth. If ever you did see a lad To match this handsome youth. 103 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ANNABEL GINNS EMILY WALLBERTE GRAHAM Annabel Larkin Grammar School Annabel left Larkin School in 1917. She then entered ( H. S. and became a prominent member of the class of 1921. Un- fortunately for Annabel, she became ill and was obliged to remain at home for a while. However, when she returned, the class of February, 1922, received her gladly, and she acquired many new friends. Annabel has a musical voice, and it sounds very convincing in the class room. That Is one of the reasons why she gets along so well in her studies. Annabel is finishing the commercial course, evidenly intending to follow a business career. The best of luck. Annabel. How pretty was Annabel Lee, As gentle and gay as the flowers; But I'm willing to bet she would fail. To equal that girl of ours. Emily entered Chester High School in September 17 from John Marshe's Grammar School, Virginia. Due to a spell of sickness Emily was forced to drop back and thus she is a member ot the class of February, 1922. Emily is very quiet and does not have much to say. Emily manages her studies in a satisfactory manner and gets along very well. Tho class wishes Emily the best of success in any work she may take up. Just keep nice and quiet. And do not make a sound. And you will be rewarded. When Santa comes around. 104 OUR 1921 ANNUAL FANNIE GREENBERG HARRY BERGER HELLER “Fan “Greenie Hat Pat' With the rest of the frightened Freshies” in February, 1918, Fan entered C. H. S. from Franklin School and em- barked on the sea of learning. It was always felt that Fannie, quiet and shy as she is. was keeping her virtues from us and revealing only her conscientious efforts of study. Naturally we looked for some year in High School when Fannie would burst forth in all her glory. But she didn't, and so much the better. Nobody appreciates those modest, quiet girls as we do. The four-year commercial course has fitted Fannie for the business world, and we wish her success. Fannie is brilliant, Fannie is bright. And she seldom does study The whole of the night. Harry came here when he left Central High School of Philadelphia, in 1919. This young man is of the opinion that he is tall, dark and handsome. Some do admit the first two statements. However, judge for yourself. All jokes aside, “Pat is a good student, he knows every one of his seven subjects well. Harry has his pecularities and weak points. He cannot keep track of his hat, aind when he loses it, his method of ad- vertising for it is quite original. Harry's weak points are his fingers, and these delicate members are always in need of first aid material. But be no: deceived Harry is not weak He played soccer and he also made the track team when it per- formed indoors. ’Pat again has lost his hat; Finder please return to Pat. 105 OUR 1921 ANNUAL HARRY MILTON KEEL Harry followed the crowd from Franklin Grammar School when it wandered to C. H. S. in February. 1918. He chose the commercial course of study and later took French and history as extras. Harry gets along very well in his lessons, and even finds time for other things. Harry is a lively boy, and the expression on his face verifies my statement. He finds time for joyrides, and he even finds time to play baseball dur- ing lunch period, that is. after he eats. Harry was also a valu- able member of the Spectrum Board, and a prominent person in the class. If ever he is feeling blue. Or suffering from the heat. He seats himself beside the board. And gets something to eat. KATHRYN MARSH KELLY In February, 1918, C. H. S. was indeed glad to have come to her, Kitty ’ Kelly. As a joke teller, especially at lunch time, Kitty takes the prize. Being a members of that famous club of the fourth period her thoughts are confined chiefly to her studies, but why does she blush quickly at the mention of a certain member of the opposite sex? Kitty” has also chosen the four year commercial course, and expects to become the private secretary of the President. If this be the case, Kitty. don’t forget to inform us when this takes place. Verily, verily, say 1 to thee. As each small child sings merrily. One more week and it is .June, Vacation’s coming pretty soon. 106 _______________OUR 1921 ANNUAL WILBUR KRIEBEL HOWARD LEVY •Wilbur Wilbur is another of those great athletes who came to C. H. S. from Franklin School in 1917. He showed his ability as a track star by making the team in his Freshman year, anti captaining successfully both the cross-country and track teams in his Senior year. His achievements have brought glory and fame both to himself and to C. H. S. Wilbur keeps his medals in barrels, and he always has a pocket full. But athletics are only a sideline for Wilbur. He was also vice-president of the Literary Society and treasurer of the Boys’ A. A. Wilbur has made many fr ends in C. H. S.. and they all unite in wishing him success and sv happy future. ' What boundless heritage is his. Whose feet are winged likn Mercury's? Howard is a product of Larkin Grammar School. He came to Chester High in 1917 and chose the commercial course. Ora- tory is Howard’s special and he can recite Antony’s speech per- fectly including all the motions. He is also an athlete, for he played on the basket ball team. Howard has quite a list from which to choose, but even if he doesn’t make a basket ball play- er. or an orator, we feel sure that he will be a successful busi- ness man. What wonderful old sages Were Ceasar and the rest; But after all I’m thinking That the present ones are best. 107 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Jeanette arrived from Franklin School in 1917 and took up the commercial course. Jean” is a worker and not a talker. She does things quietly, and that is why we do not hear much about her. Jeanette likes her work so well she intends to become a teacher. “Jean is a very capable girl, and we feel sure that she will be successful with the future generations. In English and in history, In all she does excell; But she is also glad to hear. The ringing of the bell. This daughter of Glenolden came to Chester High School in 1917. from Glenolden Grammar School. She was forced by illness to lose much school time, and had to drop back to out- class. We are proud of our acquisition. Kmly” is one of our star feminine debaters, having been captain of our girls’ team in the imerclass public debates. Her scholastic stand- ing is a high one. Emily likes to go to Havre de Grace, for some reason. She is one of those nice girls with bobbed hair. We should not be surprised if she became a lawyer. Why goes Emly” to Havre de Grace? To see her beau or see the race? 108 OUR 1921 ANNUAL SEYMOUR MACALISTER OLIVE MACKEY “Seymour” •Olive Seymour Is a loyal citizen of Glenolden. but he came to Chester High School � n 1917, for the purpose of acquiring an education. Seymour is one of these masculine boys who keep silent and mind their own business. He arrives early every morning, onto 6 his classes silently, and leaves them silently. Since he doesn’t say very much about himself, we know only that he loves history. French, and mathematics. Seymour also writes poetry and limericks. This is all we know about him. and we let this suffice as we might learn something he kc- pg secret. The world would be much better, And all would get their shares, If everyone like Seymour, Would mind his own affairs. Olive entered our class in September, 1920, from Cobles- kill. X. Y. She has not been in our class long enough for us to know her very well. Olive is a very quiet girl. Evidently, she adheres to the old saying. Children should be seen and not heard. It has been the bane of her life to raise her voice loud enough to be heard by all in her classes. She will not enter the commercial world as she has taken the academic course in high school. In whatever career Olive undertakes, we wish her luck and success. Olives grow in Mexico, And in all balmy’ weather; Hut our own Olive, little girl, Can beat them all together. 109 OUR 1921 ANNUAL MILLARD HAINES POOLE MAX MARQUETTE REIDER “Milt •Mack “Pooley” “Noah' Millard outgrew Franklin School in February, 1918, and so he came to Chester High School. Chester High seems to have agreed with Millard, and he has improved along many lines. As his knowledge became more advanced, his manly beauty increased in proportion, until Millard has achieved the undisputed distinction of being the handsomest boy in the class. However. Millard demonstrated that beauty and brains go together. In the Junior year he was president of the class, and he showed in the Junior Recital that he was also an able orator. Millard is tacing the commercial course, and we prophesy his success in the busrines world. The maids behold his angel face. And marvel and dispute. And wonder how a boy could be. So clever and so cute. Max came to C. H. S. from Larkin Grammar School with an air which foretold his present importance. Now. Max has become a young man of broad minded views and liberal ideas, and he expresses them quite loquaciously. For this mas- ter mind the difficult problems of the world are nothing, since he uses his acquired knowledge of history. Max is waiting until he comes into power, and then will he convince all, as he did in the debate. After he had fired some rapid volleys of “twelve cylinder words, the judges hastened to agree with him for the sake of peace. But this garrulity will serve a purpose, for Max intends to become a lawyer. Anyone can see that he will succeed. If Max’s hair were only red, Pat Henry then would not be dead. 110 OUR 1921 ANNUAL GEORGE WAITE RIGHTMYER DOLORES ROSENBLATT Righty” ••Dot” “Righty” was one of Franklin School’s best athletes. He came to Chester High in 1917, and tackled” football with his other lessons. George passed it with flying colors and has taken it up every year just for exercise. Next year he will be our football captain. George also plays other games, such as baseball and marbles. For real manly exercise give Righty ' football. Our football opponents found that his size does not matter when he went through their line several times in succession. We fell sure that he will succeed in college. He looks so friendly and so small. You would not think he plays football. But when he’s mad, they cry, Fnough, Georgie, please don’t be so rough.” Dewey School proved too narrow a field for the develop- ment of such high abilites as thi maiden possessed, and so in February. 1918, Dolores came to Chester High School to spread her conquests farther. When the class was in need of a leader, Dolores was called upon, and she made a very capable pres- ident. She has held numerous executive positions since then, and now she is our vice-president. “Dot is modest, but the truth came out, and her ability to sing, act. and speak was li- ra ily discovered. Dolores possesses one quality especially, which is rare among the feminine gender. She knows when to speak and when to keep quiet. In debates, however, she is purely feminine. Dot’s” weakness lies in her exceptional fondness for jewelry collections, such as class rings, hut, since she is a good sport, I am sure we can overlook this. Dotie” is a girl who can Match her wits with any man. Ill GEORGE CROZER ROWE A lover’s quarrel is soon patched.' OUR 1921 ANNUAL SAMUEL ADAMS SIMMONS Rowe” Larkin Grammar School Who is it that arrives at school at 8.29Vs A. M.? The glory of this honor goes to our George. George has not starred as an athlete or student, hut when U comes to the role of ladies’ man, he takes the part to a ‘ T. ’ He is very popular with his class, and is Catherine’s steady attendant. We wonder why he al- ways picks a short girl? Perhaps to make his height more prominent. George is a member of the Spectrum and Annual Hoards. He has made an excellent stage manager, and who knows hut that some day he may be stage manager at the Edgmont? George has the best wishes of his class. “Sam” hails from the Penn Yan Academy, New York, and he joined our class in 1918. He is small in stature but mighty in powers. Sam” does wonders with his small limbs. His brain always works actively in the classroom, and he always has an answer ready. Sam” is fastest on the track. When his little legs are in motion, he walks away from them all. There is one thing about him that we cannot understand. Why is Sam” sick every Friday? It seems strange that pub- lic speaking should possess such terrors for one who is so popular at parties. Mystery surrounds our “Sammy. George likes to Rowe” with Catherine, In little streams called ’Brooks.” Old Don Quixote’s windmill, Has nothing on his feet. Eor when his legs get started. They never can be beat. OUR 1921 ANNUAL ROBERT MURRAY SMURL RALPH BENJAMIN SORKENN ••Bob” •’Doc” Raft ” Sork” • Bob arrived in Chester High from Wilkes-Barre Gram- mar school in 1919. Bob” had tried his hand at many things. He made the track team and even tried debating. Bob” likes one posi-ion on the debating team, not captain, but the posi- tion of alternate. Bob” is .all and fair and likes them short and spare, for he has chosen a maiden of this description, it is hard to tell whether Bob” is going to be a doctor or a lawyer, but which ever he chooses, he has the best wishes of the class. He saw her lift her hand aloft. He thought 'twas he she meant; He felt the tremble of her fist. Then his brave spirit went. On that memorable day in February, 1918, when our class entered a new sphere of life from Franklin Grammar School came one of whom it can be justly proud. Through all his high school life Ralph has been known as a boy upon whom responsibility could be placed with assurance that it would be well carried. Though not an active, he is by no means a mean athlete. Ralph has always been associated with the inner life of his class. Always he has taken an active part, and In his Sophomore year, he was elected president. His ability to use the English language has gained for him the position of editor of the Spectrum, one of the highest posi- tions in the school. If his high school life is taken as an example, his future career will be a complete success. 113 OUR 1921 ANNUAL ANNA VERTLIEB Among our classmates is a lassie from the Old Domin- ion. Canada has sent us one of her daughters, through the Penn High School in Philadelphia. Anna entered our class in September, 1919. She is quiet and studious. She always knows her lessons, especially history. And dates! She knows them all from 1492 to 1921. and some before that. Anna ranks just as high in her other classes as in history. She is finishing the academic course. We hope that when Anna is climbing the steep hill to Success she will mount as high as she has in Chester High School. I come from haunts of far away. Return there will I never. For days may come, and days may go. But I stay here forever. CHARLES VERTLIEB When Charley came from Canada he landed at Philadel- phia. Then he heard of Chester High school; so in 1919 he came here and joined our class. Charley showed us that he has learned something in his travels. No subject has any terrors for him. He s’mply conquers everything. Everybody is Charley’s friend, and he likes everybody and everything, such as lunch, ice cream, and lessons—all except girls. He simply can’t get along with them. This seems strange, since Charley is a good debater. Never mi.nd. Charley, they will come to their senses after they see what you've done with yourself. What care I if young folks. Will always foolish be. There ain’t a livin’ female Who can ever vanquish me. 114 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLARISSA ULRICH WARD ESTELLA MAY WOLFE Kissy1 Stella” She is here. She just arrived from Franklin school in Feb- ruary 1918. She is petite, dark haired, and positive. Silence is silver, but speech is golde.n,” is her motto. She cannot make herself seen, so hence .he attitude she takes. Kissy” is a prom in nt member of the O.MA. She !s also an excellent walker, having competed for the floor walker’s prize in C. H. S. She can sing, play the piano, and dance. Kissy has chosen the commercial course and will make a fine stenographer to a certain young man. Candy for girls. And kisses for boys. Such are their natures, Their pleasures, their joys. In Sep.ember, 1917, Stella” entered Chester High front Trainer Grammar School. One of her favorite pastimes is teaching her younger sisters. She always knows her lessons, and is surely rewarded when those marks arrive. Stella” loves to dance, and in the fourth lunch period, one may always see her whirling away. She may go to South America to finish her course in Spanish, but as she says, she will be lucky if she learns her English In America. Stella” is going to be a private secretary. Best wishes. Stella had a little doll. Her name was Marmelute, And Stella” thought there inever was A little doll so cute. 115 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS BE IT REMEMBERED HAT we, the Class of February, 1922, of Chester High School, being of sound and disposing minds, memory, and un- derstanding, and considering the uncertainty of life, do therefore make, publish, and declare this to be our last WILL AND TESTAMENT, in manner and form following, and we hope that our heirs will appreciate our modest gifts, and with due respect to our dying wishes, will accept these small tokens in the same spirit that they were offered.

Arthur Chatten Dolores Rosenblatt V- Witnesses. Harry Keel 119 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS PROPHECY S I sat upon the bench in the park, I could not help but recall my high school days. Each bush and flower brought back old memories, visions of those good old days. The outlines of old Chester High and its cool, shady lawns passed be- fore my eyes. It seemed as though the fluttering little birds were my old friends, those chattering little girls, and strutting young lads. Oh. that I was young again! I was aroused instinctively from my reverie by more serious thoughts. Each passing breeze seemed to whisper and re- mind me of my pranks and misdeeds. Each gentle puff of the June wind held for me accusations and reproaches. No longer could I indulge in pleasant thoughts of those happy days. Mentally, I went over the past few years, and noted my condition, the in- evitable result of reckless indulgence. Here I was almost penniless, a vagabond com- pared with my old schoolmates. How could I muster up enough courage to attend the class reunion? How cruel is fate! How insignificant my little Ford seemed as I passed Mr. Milliard H. Poole seated in his largo machine. Yes, that was Milliard with his family, happy, self-possessed, and prosperous, a genuine example of a suc- cessful business man. Then there were others. What a change had occurred while I was wandering about idly in foreign sections. The papers were full of astonishing news, both national and foreign. Our correspondents abroad were high in their praises of the achievements of the Honorable Guy De Furia, president of the International Conference. With the aid of Dr. Max Reider, the world-wide social reformer, a plan was made whereby war would be forever abolished, and equality established. Even at home the reforms were numer- ous. Those three determined Congresswom- en, Dolores Rosenblatt, Dr. Emilie H. Lom- bard and Miss Ada Blumberg, had finally succeeded in passing their restriction bill, which prohibited the use of tobacco, chew- ing-gum, rouge, and powder. The same paper had more good news, setting the pace at the Olympics. Honors 120 OUR 1321 ANNUAL CLASS PROPHECY Wilbur Kricbel and Parker Fisher were were evenly divided between the two ath- letes. The football world was also given a surprise by the Rightmeyer-Coppoek com- bination. It was due to the work of these men that the team secured the champion- ship. It seemed that we also had inventors. The Misses Katherine Kelly and Clarissa Ward had finally succeeded in securing a patent for their wireless electric washing machine. Announcements were also made that Dr. Geraldine Clark, the great scien- tist and originator of the (.’lark Theory, would speak at the Armory. The two engineers. Robert Smurl and Samuel Sim- mons. were putting their automatic bridge across the Niagara Falls. But right at home I found surprises. Our friends were quite prominent in local affairs. The election of a mayor was being hotly contested by the two candidates, Xannettc Brewster and Reese Beaumont. Among the successful business women, were Amy Enion, president of the famous girls’ Charm School, and Marie Chew, the head of the Fancy Dancing School across the way. These two institutions were very valuable in preparing our women for high society. But that was not all. Life's little jokes are many. The studious Robert Elliott turned out to be a prize fighter. Arthur Chatten was a minister, reforming men and making the world safe for democracy. My surprise was greatest when I learned Harry Keel was a policeman, keeping order in the city. I was glad to learn that all were mar- ried and living happily. When the news gave out, I came back to myself. I would not attend the reunion I decided, until 1 could show a better dis- play of worldly gain. As I was walking toward my “Lizzie,” a statement made by my teacher came to my mind, one which so often goes unheeded: “Whether or not you have benefited by your High School course, you alone can judge. If you have spent your time usefully, your reward will surely come. On the other hand, if you have wasted your opportunities here, it will all come back to you.” 121 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS HISTORY DOW that we are soon to hid fare- well to our school, with its joys and its sorrows, and to separate into the world, where we shall learn to be men and women, we pause to look back on those four years which have laid the foun- dations of our lives, as a traveler pauses on a ridge to look back on the old familiar scenes, before he shuts them out of his sight forever. Through all its high school life, our class has been a pathfinder. It entered high school as the first February class of any size, and continued under difficulties caused by its having to adjust itself to fit in with the regular classes. Because of these diffi- culties, the inner life of our class started very late the first year. The class of 1919 gave us our first of- ficial recognition, when it welcomed us to Chester High School, with a reception in October, 1918. In choosing our first class president, we found in Dolores Rosenblatt, a girl whom we respected as one who could do things better than the majority of us. The first year was uneventful, not because of our lack of spirit, but because of our lateness in starting and the smallness of our number. However, in our Sophomore year, we brought forward as president, Ralph Sor- kenn, who was already known for his wide and exceptional ability. He used some of his ability and started our class on its high school career. During his term, we bought our garnet and gold pennants, of such a quality as is surpassed by no others in the school. These first years were rather hard for us because we had a name to make and a precedent to establish, that the coming February classes might find their way pre- pared. Ralph’s successor was Millard H. Poole, a boy widely known throughout Chester High School. This year brought us our novel class rings, of which wc are justly 122 OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLASS HISTORY proud. We also made our first public ap- pearance, in giving a Junior recital. Fol- lowing a custom established by former classes, we gave a reception to the class of February, 1924. the same year. This plan of having February classes welcome Feb- ruary classes, we hope will be followed by our successors. For the fourth and last year of our high school life, we elected Guy De Furia, presi- dent. The class had now reached the height, and thoughts of how hard it was to leave these associations for four years, came to us. This last year of our life in high school was to witness the crowning of our achievements. Determined to leave behind it something more than its mere name, the class took upon itself such tasks as were deemed impossible. This history of the Class of February, 1922. would be incomplete without a word of its debating teams. These teams debated both the upper Senior and the Junior class. Though not always successful, their work in upholding the honor of their class was of a very high type. In literary efforts, our class has also shown its ability. This was fully illustrated when we, as did the larger classes, pub- lished in the issue of the May, 1921, Spec- trum, one which was unexpected from so small a class as ours. This proved to us that everything in life is what we make it. Our chief effort is this section of the Annual. In this, we put before the world the honest efforts of a small class who fought for recognition. It is with a mingled feeling of regret and joy that we leave Chester High School, our Alma Mater (for four long years). Re- gret, because in leaving her, we leave for- ever, her and her associations, which first taught us the ideals of American men and women. Joy, because we have accom- plished four years of work, with honor to our school and to ourselves. But though we leave, our thoughts must ever return to that school and to those teachers, who sacrificed themselves that we might be better men and women.

The history of our class began with the elec- tion of officers. The officers we chose to guide us through our first year were as follows: Leon Brick, president; Paul Feeser, vice-president; Elizabeth Hunter, secretary, and Joseph Mc- Aldon, treasurer. From the first the Class of 1922 entered school activities with “vim” and “pep. A mem- ber of our class obtained his position that year on the football team. In the girls’ athletics we were also very proud to have two of our girls obtain places on the girls’ major basketball team. Thus ended our Freshmen career. The cur- tain is dropped during a three months’ vacation enjoyed by all. In September. 1919. the Class of '22 entered C. H. S. once more, but this time as Sophomores, somewhat diminished in number, but with that same old “pep.” We immediately reorganized the class, which resulted in the election of Joseph McAldon, pres- ident; Florence Derbyshire, vice-president; Alice Lockman, secretary; Frank Christy, treasurer. As in the previous year, we were well repre- sented in athletics. We had two men on the major football team. On the basketball team three men upheld the honor of ‘22. We also had three men on the baseball team. On the girls’ basketball team we were well represented, as four girls from our class were given positions. In September, 1920. we entered Chester High School, not as mere Freshmen or Sophomores, but as Juniors. This year has been the biggest year in our career. As usual, we started the year by re- organizing the class. The following members were elected for offices: Frank Christy, presi- 125 OUR 1921 ANNUAL junior Class History (Continued) dent; Edna Roth fuss, vice-president; Magdelene Uff, secretary; Orlando Cloud, treasurer. Our next step was made by having a class party. This was held in the cafeteria of the school. The entertainment consisted of games, dancing, and last, “eats.” Everyone who came enjoyed the evening very much. The room was tastefully decorated in our class colors, green and white. As in other years, we still had that same old •pep,” and enthusiasm in athletics. This year five of our boys were represented in football, three in basketball, and five in baseball. Our girls were also recognized in basketball, as six out of the ten members of the team were Juniors. The next things which confronted us were our class rings. Were they good looking? Well, I should say—that design certainly surpasses all others. There is something else we are proud of and that is the thought that our ring was made the school ring. In following the foot prints of other classes, the next social function held by our class was the class dance. This was held in Library Hall and was a wonderful success. Another social event was the Junior Recital held June 3. in the school auditorium. This was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended. Up to the time of writing, this completes the history of our class during the greater part of its three years in C. H. S. We are coming back next year as Seniors to do or die for our Alma Mater and to advance in our ideals and ambitions so that when we graduate we shall be proud of our achievements, proud of our class, and proud of our school.

They walked on their toes as if afraid of being heard. But the acute hearing of the Sophomores would not be de- ceived. The Freshmen received a warm wel- come. Evidences of it were seen the next morn- ing by swollen noses and hoarse voices. Being a February class, we decided to have a separate organization of our own. Benjamin Steinberg was elected first president of the Class of 1923. During the first year we did not take a large part in the activities of our school. In the second year the Class of ’23 began to wake up. Several varsity players belonged to our class. Henry Nacrelli was president. At the beginning of the Junior year the class showed further signs of waking. Marguerite Witsil was elected president. We took part in the Junior recital with the Class of 1922. be- cause we are such a small class. We hope to leave a record worthy of example by the follow- ing generations. Nathan V.

S. admitted one of the largest Freshman classes ever entering the school. By October, the class had organized and the election of officers followed. Members of '23 immediately took an interest in all the activities of the school. Our class was represented by fine basketball and baseball teams. Francis McLaughlin won the official “C” for track. On May 14 our class entertained the public with the Schumann (lice Club from Philadelphia. In September, 1920, we returned to school as Sophomores and elected the following officers for the ensuing term: Weston Stelle, president; Margaret Howard, vice-president; Esther How- ard, secretary, and David Rosenblatt, treasurer. As Sophomores, our class became prominent in athletics. Christopher Crook, Crosby Black and Morton Stowe won the official “C” for foot- ball. Many of our members were also on the .-crub team. Donald Kriebel played on the major basketball team, thereby winning the of- ficial “C.” Our class also had both a girls’ and a boys’ basketball team, many players of which won places on the school’s second teams. Samuel Warren gained a place on the major baseball team. In social events, '23 took an active part and held two class parties during the year. At these parties our class spirit was evidenced by the attendance of practically the entire class. Among many enjoyable features the play, “Friday Af- ternoon At a Village School,” will long be re- membered. This completes the history of our two years’ career in C. H. S., and we as bearers of the Purple and Gold, will always uphold the honor of Chester High by remembering our motto, “Stand for the Right.” Evelyn F.

S. opened to the largest February class that had, up to that time, entered the school. These “Freshics” (of whom there were one hundred and seven! were the class of February, 1924. As a new system was being worked out, we did not get our roster cards made out, and we were nearly a month getting our studies started. Being a February class, we did not receive much attention until Miss Edwards took charge, and under her guidance a class meeting was held. At this meeting, the following members were elected: Palmer DcFuria, president; Jeanne Bailey, vice-president; Sarah Gray, secretary; Helen Dcakyne, treasurer. No historian was elected, but Bill Purdy was squeezed in as cheer leader. We made our first prominent appearance at the social given by the February, 1922. class. Beginning with the fall term of 1921 new officers were elected as follows: Fraley Weidner, president; Harry Storm, vice-president; Edyth Harvey, secretary; Helen Deakyne, treasurer; Jack Miller, historian, and Norman Snyder, boys’ cheer leader; Veronica O’Rooke, girls’ cheer leader. A boys’ basketball team was soon made up. William Crystle was elected captain and Edward Barton, manager. The players are as follows: Harry Corson, Walter Bowen, Lynn Crippen, Herman Bloom, William Purdy and Richard Wilson. The total number of games played was nineteen and of these the team won eleven. We evidently stood well in basketball. A girls’ basketball team was also formed. Jeanne Bailey was elected manager. The play- ers were as follows: Edith Harvey, Jeanic Deans, Abigail Van Deusan, Edna Copple, Ruth Whaley. Esther Wilson. Elizabeth Mowry, Eliz- abeth Shieck and Catharine Ache. The girls’ team also showed well by playing eleven games and winning nine. In conclusion, it may well be said that our class has been successful in every branch it has undertaken. We may be glad when vacation comes, but nothing will be more welcome to us than coming back again in September and seeing our old friends once more.

FRESHMAN BOYS, 1921 AN BOYS, 1924. ______OUR 1921 ANNUAL______ History of the 1924 Class ON a day not so very distant, September 13. 1920, it large party of immigrants on the Road of Education entered C. H. S. Although the settlers of the West in ’49 had to watch out for the Indians, we, of ncces- eitv, were just as alert, for we had to watch out for that awful tribe the Sophomores, who cap- tured most of the boys. They acquainted us with what the upper classmen thought of us, and with certain other painful matters; then we were seized by the big chiefs, the Seniors, and made to pay ransom to the Athletic Association and the Spectrum. Time came for class elections, to us much more important than the Presidential Election on November 4th. To guide us safely through the first year we chose: Malcolm Petrikin. pres- ident; Frank Pavlik, vice-president; Gertrude Shuster, secretary; Marie Kcelcy. treasurer; Isabel Dawson, girls’ cheer leader; Oscar Craig, boys’ cheer leader. The Freshmen reception was on Tuesday evening, November Hi. The parents of the Freshmen were invited. The Senior class gave us an enjoyable program. At the second class meeting, we appointed Girls’ Athletic Committee, Boys’ Athletic Com- mittee, Committee for Pennant and Colors. In athletics, the Freshman class ranks high. The boys’ football team was formed so late that there was but little time to practice; but, since the team was organized merely to play a game with the Wilmington Freshmen, the result was satisfactory, since the game ended in a 12- 12 tie. The lineup was: Harry Sorkenn. left end; William Hood, left tackle; Wallace Rob- inson, left guard; George Hay, center; Francis Gessler, right guard; William Pratt, right tackle; James Strain, right end; Malcolm Petri- kin quarterback and captain; James Burn, right halfback; Horace Doll, left halfback; Herbert Hayes, fullback. The girls’ basketball team was composed of Helen Smith, forward and captain; Marie Keel- ev, forward; Mildred Goman, center and man- ager; Gertrude Shuster, side center; Sarah Rickards, guard; Agnes Smith, guard; Miss Maxwell, coach. This team had the fine record of going through ten games without a defeat. 139 OUR 1921 ANNUAL_________ History of the 1924 Class (Continued) The boys’ basketball team was made up of Malcolm Petrikin, forward; James Strain, for- ward and captain; Herbert Hayes, center; Holmes Seamen, guard; Jack Galloway, guard; Seymour Adclman. manager. Three class meetings were necessary to de- cide on class colors, but finally the class chose dark blue and white. Our class history would not be complete without mentioning the financial condition. We are very proud of it and with reason, since the upper classmen credit us with being the richest class in the school. So ends for us, the Class of 1924. our first year in C. H. S., a most pleasant and instructive year.

Shortly after we entered school in 1919. wo held a class meeting for the purpose of electing class officers. The following officers were elected: President, Charles Dotts; vice-president, George Crawford; secretary and treasurer. Esther Porter. When we came back in 1920. we again held a meeting to elect officers. The result of this meeting was the election of Mary Hacking, pres- ident; Mary Schaffer, vice-president; and Flor- ence Tollin. secretary and treasurer. Later in the year, our president, Mary Hacking, left to be married, and our vice-president, Mary Schaf- fer, succeeded her. Alma Hamilton was elected vice-president. Our class was represented in athletics by George Crawford. We received our class rings about Christmas time in 1920. and our pennants later in the year. We want to express our gratitude to Mr. Ren- nie. principal of the school; Mr. Jobborn, head of the commercial department, and to our teach- ers for the help they have given us, and we wish to leave to those pupils who follow us, the best wishes of our class. We hope that they may be as successful in their stay in Chester High School as we have been in ours. Margaret R.

After the president of the class left school, Bar- trum Vance became the president. Wilson Simpkins was elected vice-president. Bartrum Vance changed his course and the class was reorganized. The following were elected as officers: Elizabeth Mills, president; Isabelle Xoblct. vice-president; and Alice Wheatley, secretary and treasurer. Soon after entering high school, the Juniors, the class of 1920. entertained our class bv giving a Freshmen Reception. Margaret Birkmire, one of the officers of the class, had trouble with her eyes, so was com- pelled to leave school, for which we were all very sorry. At Thanksgiving time our class sent her a basket of fruit. At Christmas we sent her a box of candy. There are twenty-one pupils in our class at the present time. We are all getting class rings and expect to graduate in February, 1922. leaving at the Chester High School a good record. There is only one boy in our class and he is a popular one.

MacFarlane, Secretary-T reasarer HE Dramatic Club this year has had a very successful season. The club has grown to be one of the largest and most active of any in Chester High. Each meeting was held in the reg- ular chapel period every month. After the organization meeting, the meetings were devoted to an entirely dramatic program. During the season the club presented the following at the various meetings: “Where, But In America?”—a one-act play. “The Florist Shop”—a playlet from “The Harvard Book of Plays.” Various members of the faculty enter- tained us at several meetings by giving se- lections of a dramatic character. A keen interest was taken in the club by every member, and all responded faith- fully to any call to help in any way to make the various activities of the society a success. The main event of the season was the presentation of “Nothing But the Truth,” a comedy in three acts, by L. Montgomery. This was a decided success, due to the splendid work of the entire cast and the helpful advice of Miss Dovle and Miss Barnet, our faculty representatives. The program follows: 153 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Dramatic Club, 1920-1921 Act I. Scene—Interior of a broker's office in one of the principal uptown New York hotels. Act II. Scene -Parlor in summer home of E.

The club this year has been provided with new equipment along every line, which will enable the members in the future to present any char- acter of play that they may undertake. We wish to thank Miss Doyle and Miss Barnet for their helpful advice and direc- tion during the season and greater success is our wish to next year's Dramatic Club. Margaret F.

CHIS year the Debating Club was open to the members of the Junior and Se- nior classes. Our object, as in previous years, was to promote good debating in Chester High School. During the year, several debates were held between the 1113 and 12A bovs. The club was organized the latter part of October and the following officers elected: Clar- ence Ayres, president; Phinnes Wittenberg, vice- president; Catherine Conrad, secretary. This year’s club hopes to have settled one question for good. The question that is meant. L that the two highest classes in school shall debate in the public interclass debates. Let us hope that there will be no further difficulties on this subject. At any rate, the Debating Club claims to have had a very successful year and hopes the succeeding debating clubs will fare as well. The President. Kess Ridley I’ark High School Charles entered Chester High during our Sophom � re year and soon became one of our best known members. To prove that he was one of our best known members I have only to state that Kes? was elected president of our class for the Senior year. “Kess was busily engaged handling the diplo- matic affairs of our class when to use slang, a wrench fell in the machinery. Charles was compelled to resign his office and travel to the Golden' West. Because of this “Kess was unable to graduate with us. However, we are sure Kess ' will suc- ceed in h:.s other duties as well as he did when with us. Miss Williams called him Charlie, The girls all called him Kess; But what his best friends call him. I’ll leave for you to guess. 155 _____________OUR 1921 ANNUAL___________ The Chester High School Kadio Club IN the early part of September, 1920, the Chester High School Radio Club was organized. Fifty members were pres- ent at the first meeting and the following officers were elected for the year 1920-1921: President, Ralph W. Parkinson; vice-presi- dent, George Hay; treasurer, G. Leonard Rap- pold; secretary, Enoch Hoffman. Other secretaries elected were: James W. Burn and H. Warner Grant, Jr. At various meetings throughout the school year the members of the Radio Club were treated to interesting talks given by ship operators. These talks were very helpful to all who heard them and especially to those who contemplate working on a ship during the summer vacation. On different days throughout the year mem- bers of the club took the first grade amateur ex- amination. The four members who passed were: Albert Laurent, Enoch Hoffman, William Boul- den and Jack Nessenthaler. There are thirty-eight boys who regularly attend the meetings every Tuesday afternoon at 2.45 P. M. in room 33. Code practice was given at the meetings regularly. The members of the club who were kind enough to lend the school apparatus until it could be bought are: G. Leonard Rappold, H. War- ner Grant, Jr., C. Russell Peck, Albert E. Lau- rent, Charles W. Crouse and Ralph W. Parkin- son. The club extends a vote of thanks to these members. The Radio Club also wishes to thank Miss Reanev for her assistance during the entire school year in making the club a success. In closing, we wish to thank anyone who in any way helped to make the club a success, and we sincerely hope that next year’s Radio Club will be as prosperous and successful as the C. H. S. Radio Club of 1920-1921. Ralph W. Parkinson, ’21. 156 OUR 1921 ANNUAL LATIN CLUB “ Amnia valenti facile ” ONE of the school activities that has again been brought into the limelight is the Latin Club. Several years ago when our present principal, Mr. Rennie, was the head of the Latin Department, he formed the Latin Club; but, during our first three years, for various reasons, the Latin Club was dropped. In the latter part of our Junior year. Mr. Ren- nie, then principal, greatly favored the re-estab- lishment of the club, and we made up our minds that in our Senior year there should be such a Latin Club. When Mr. Mohler came to Chester High as the head of the Latin Department, the long talked of Latin Club was formed by his untiring efforts. We elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Hubert Henley; vice-president, Catherine Conrad; secretary, Dorothea Sweet. Our meeting day was to be every second Thursday in either Mr. Mohler’s room or the assembly room, according to the program given. We had slides obtained by Mr. Mohler, giving us ideas of Roman architecture and the interior of the Roman home. Members of the club also gave interesting talks on Roman games, en- tertainments, manners and customs, religious be- liefs and dress. A lecture was given to the members by Dr. Brewster, of Swarthmore, having as her subject, “A Walk in Rome.” The club as a whole wishes to thank both Mr. Rennie and Mr. Mohler for their splendid support. We hope that the Latin Club will be kept up in future years, and that Mr. Mohler will benefit the students in the fu- ture by his untiring efforts as much as he has benefited us. 157 ________OUR 1 921 ANNUAL THE LITEKAKY SOCIETY President Lloyd Goman, ’21 Vice-President Wilbur Kriebel, Feb., '22 HE Literary Society during the , years 1920-21 has held its own with various organizations of the school. With Lloyd Goman, its unpar- alleled president, how could it do other- wise? He has readily given his time and aid as has every other member of the so- ciety, to make it the best ever. As a result, many entertainments, debates, and lectures have been given, and were really appreci- ated. Something out of the ordinary was pre- sented in the beginning of the year. A pageant, for the purpose of boosting the School Loan, was presented by the society. Both performances attracted a great num- ber of people. This year “Good English Week” was observed. It interested the pupils quite a bit and they even went so far as to correct their instructors. Secretary Miriam W. Armstrong, ’21 Then followed our intelligent debates and we are proud to say that the Seniors never lost one. The society profited by the many viewpoints. Both boys and girls participated. In April, when our thoughts turn to the heroes of our country, we present a Wash- ington and Lincoln program in their mem- ory. We feel sure they would be flattered if they had been able to attend. Following this were several interesting lectures given by men of prominence and intellect. These were especially enjoyed. Then in May, to follow the previous customs, we held our May Day exercises on the Eyre property. Everyone looked their best, and the whole affair was a grand success. In closing, this year’s officers ex- tend their best wishes for success to every succeeding Literary Society. Miriam W. Armstrong, Secretary. 168 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. SOCIAL SERVICE SOCIETY OUR 1921 ANNUAL Social Service HE Social Service Society of Chester High School had its first meeting of the year for organization on October 8, 1920. The following officers were elected: Clara Bowen, president; Catherine Conrad, vice-presi- dent; Elizabeth Hunter, treasurer; Louise Cox, secretary; Ethel Deakyne, vice-president of 11A; Gertrude Hysore, vice-president of 10B; Mar- garet Spencer, vice-president of 10A; Esther Porter, vice-president of 10A, two-year commer- cial; Jean Bailey, vice-president of 9B; Margaret Haney, vice-president of 9A; Dorothy Smith and Doloris Rosenblatt, reporters of Social Service notes for The Spectrum . The meetings of the society were held the last Friday of each month. The dues of the society were twenty-five cents a year. One person from each room was elected to collect this money. The Junior division of the Social Service took a collection at Christmas time and together with the groceries the girls brought and the groceries bought with this money, they were able to fill a few baskets to give to those who needed help. The 12A Group took a collection at Christ- mas time and bought toys with this money, which they sent to the dispensary. In January, l)r. Sina Stratton, of the De- partment of Education at Harrisburg, gave three lectures to the girls, who enjoyed them very much. During the month of April, Dr. Florence H. Richards, of the William Penn High School, in Philadelphia, gave three lectures to the girls at seventy-five dollars for the three lectures. The mothers, sisters, and friends of the girls were cordially invited to be present and enjoy these lectures with us. Each class has its own sub-organization of the main society. The officers of the 12B sub-organization are as follows: Dorothy Park, president; Mildred Collins, vice-president; Dorothy Sweet, secretary and treasurer. The officers of the 12A sub-organization are: Geraldine Clark, president; Emily Lombard, vice-president; Jerrine Closs, secretary and treasurer.

Puffer spoke to the girls in May on the subject, “The Girl and Her Job.” The various sub-organizations provided mending kits for general use in the school. In some of the groups the girls gave the articles; in others, the articles were bought out of the treasury. Three mirrors costing §13.50 were bought and placed in the girls’ cloakrooms. On the whole, the society has had a success- ful year. It has set the machinery in motion for greater achievements next year.

We have averaged fifty-six pages with a grand wind-up of sixty-eight pages. It has been our aim to give the body of students the best possible Spectrum, in preference to the biggest Spectrum possible. This year we have had to overcome greater financial obstacles than any previous Spectrum Board. This year’s volume lias cost over three hundred dollars more than that of last year. Whether our volume has been a literary suc- cess, we do not know. That is for our sub- scribers to say. If subscriptions talk, it was a success. We had five hundred and seventy-five subscriptions, or one hundred and fifty more than last year’s subscription list. We know it was a success financially, for we have spent more money than any previous board and still made money. Why has this volume been such a grand suc- cess? The answer is this: every member of 164 OUR 1921 ANNUAL the hoard has pulled together. The business and advertising department, under the leadership of Clarence C. Ayres, Jr., has solicited more ad- vertisements than any previous board and it is mainly through his untiring efforts that the twenty-first volume has been a success financial- ly. The department reporters have handed in much valuable material and have maintained large departments throughout the year. The cir- culation department, under the management of F. Chester Taylor and his valuable assistant, (ieorge C. Rowe, has increased the subscription lists to five hundred and seventy-five subscribers. Was it possible, with this support given to an editor, for the twenty-first volume of The Spec- trum to have been anything but a success? It is impossible in this small space to praise all the members of the board that are just as deserving as those individually mentioned. The support given the editor is justly appreciated, and he takes this opportunity to thank every member of the board and Miss Florence Will- iams, the faculty adviser. It is the honest wish of this year's editor that each succeeding volume will be better than the preceding one. In closing, I extend my best wishes for a successful season to each succeeding editor and his board. Robert L. Mills, Editor. 165 OUR 1921 ANNUAL FKENCH CLUB —f FRENCH lub was organized in Ches- m-----1 ter High School this year for the pur- J M, pose of arousing more interest in the study of French and also to give the students an opportunity to speak French. The following of- ficers were elected for the year: President, Cath- erine Conrad; vice-president, Anna Coombes; secretary. Adelaide Drew; treasurer, Paul Feezer. The executive board of the French Club is composed of the officers and one representative from each French class. It was decided to hold the meetings of the French Club on every second Tuesday at three o’clock. Every meeting has been in charge of some member of the executive board, and some very enjoyable, as well as profit- able, meetings have been held. G1KLS' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB HIS club was first organized during the school term of 1918-19, in order that the desire of the two lower classes for extra musical instruction might be realized. The organization has given no formal concert this year, as in the previous year, but it willingly presented a specimen of its work at the meeting of the Delaware County Teachers’ Association, and at the Girls’ Public Intcrclass Debate sev- eral members have favored the school with se- lections in the chapel programs. The officers and members wish to thank Miss Ross for her untiring efforts to make the club a success. A 166 IUNIOK GIRLS' GLEE CLUB OUR 19 2 1 ANNUAL___ Girls’ Choral Club CHE Girls’ Choral Club met for organi- zation on October 18, 1920. The fol- lowing officers were elected for the year 1920-21: President, Dorothy Park; vice-presi- dent, Emily Lombard; secretary and treasurer, Sara J. Clark. On Friday evening, April 8. 1921. the Girls’ Choral Club presented The Japanese Girl,” an operetta in two acts. The auditorium of the school was artistically decorated and every part was taken well. The cast was as follows: O’Hanu San, a Japanese girl of position, Dorothy Park O’Kitu San 1 ( .Elizabeth Hunter O'Kayo San ”er cousins ( . .Rosabelle Burke Chayo. her servant..............Margaret Haddock Nora Twinnr Two American j Margaret Burn . ladies travelinK .

Lillian Ross, for the success of the operetta. It is under her guidance that the Girls’ Choral Club has experienced a successful year. Miss Martha W. Doyle and Miss Mar- garet Stetser also gave valuable aid toward mak- ing the operetta a success. Parker Fisher, George Rowe and Robert Howarth, as stage carpenters, are to be commended for their good work. Thus with the departure of the Class of 1921 we wish the Class of 1922 a successful year and a continuance of the good work. Sara J.

Director Spencer Keake Leader Barton Sheldrake.....Business Manager OURING the year of 1920-21, the Boys’ Glee Club continued in its choral work, giving many boys useful vocal instruc- tion besides proving a pleasure to the member- of the club. This was the most successful year of any Boys’ Glee Club in the history of the school. The highest achievement of the club was a minstrel show, which was a success both financially and socially. The soloists were: Clyde Yarnall, Roger Smith, Oscar Cray. Don- ald Kriebel, Robert Howarth. Louis Dalmas, Barton Sheldrake and Spencer Keare. Two pairs of ends were in evidence: 1) Roger Smith and Oscar Gray; •2� Barton Sheldrake and Robert Howarth. Spencer Keare was interlocutor.

Vice-President Barton Sheldrake The year 1920-21 may well be called a ban- ner year in the history of the Chester High School Athletic Association. Many things have been accomplished during this year’s administra- tion. The greatest of our achievements is the re- alization of the dreams of Chester High School students for many years, an up-to-date athletic field. During the .first part of the year, through the efforts of our people, a fence was erected around this field and later painted by some ener- getic members. Later in the year stands were erected on the field and the grounds put in perfect condition, giving us the best athletic field m the vicinity. This was accomplished by the interest of Chester business men, backers of the Chester Baseball Club. Thus our dream of an up-to-date field has been realized during this year. The high-water mark in number of members was attained also, the membership soaring to .......... President Wilbur Kriebel ........................ Secretary .......... Treasurer nearly 350 or an increase of 100 over last year. Financially, the season has also been successful, our treasury being more weighty at the close than in any previous year. That this year’s association had initiative was proved in two cases. Soccer was instituted ns a sport of the school on a par with football, basketball, baseball, and track, giving one more avenue for the escape of athletic talent of our students. The Executive Committee of this association inaugurated a new plan, whereby there shall be a banquet given at the close of the year to the letter men of the school. It is the wish of the present committee that this custom be con- tinued. As a final, word to this brief outline of the main events in this auspicious year, the officers extend to the new officers their best wishes for a successful season in 1921-22. 175 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Review of the Football Season N ordinary glance at the summary of the football season would show that the set .son was not successful. But a glance at our eighth game, the Wilmington game, and its result, shows that the season was successful from our viewpoint. As long as Wilmington does not defeat us. the season is successful. Out of ten games played, we lost five, won four and tied one. Our opponents scored 111 points to our 54. Our eleven defeated Ridley Park. La Salle Prep., (lien Mills, and the Alumni, and lost to Atlantic City, Lansdownc, Coates- ville. West Chester and Darby, and tied Wil- mington. Coach Forstburg has seme good material for next year’s team and with an early start ought to turn out a good team. The team will lose about a half dozen players by graduation. Among those who are leaving this year are: ‘‘Spoof Keare, tackle; (Ionian, fullback; Shel- drake. quarterback and captain; “(’hewer” Cray, lineman; Ward, tackle, and (Irayson, guard. Xacrelii. Buono and Right my er are left for the backfield. “Dune” Hatton, who showed up well this season, will probably fill one of the guard positions again. “Father” Reilly. Leon Brick. Crosby Black. Paul Feescr. Morton Stowe and “Chief” Crooks are also left for the line. Defarpe proved to be a good end, and Stowe also showed up well on the end in the few games he played. Our first game was with Ridley Park on our field. We started the season right by defeating them to the tune of 7-3. Ridley scored first with a drop kick, and for a while it looked as if the 176 FOOTBALL TEAM. 1920 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Review of the Football Season game would be a repetition of the one the year before, when Ridley defeated us 3-0. But in the third period. Smitty caught a forward pass back of the goal line. Ridley Park staged a dangerous rally in the last few minutes of play and rushed the ball within five yards of their goal line, but Chester held. It was in this game that “Tarzan” Goman was forced to stay out of the game for the rest of the season, when he broke three bones in his ankle. His loss va felt badly; for he was a good punter and line plunger. Our second game also resulted in a victor}’ when we defeated La Salle Prep., of Philadel- phia, 6-0. The La Salle eleven was heavier, but failed to make good gains on their line plunging. Their aerial attack at the last of the game also failed to put them within scoring distance. Our next game, with Atlantic City, was a hard one to lose, because our boys played a bet- ter game than the shore lads, but lost on fluke plays. Sheldrake made our only score—a touch- down. Atlantic City scored two touchdowns, both on fluke plays. We went to Lansdowne for our next game, but didn’t stand a chance through- out the game, the final score being 31-0. Then we were able to break our losing streak and succeeded in handing Glen Mills a severe lacing. The final score was 22-2. The Glen Mills backfield was very fast, but our boys held in the pinches and kept them from making any touchdowns. Each side scored a safety. We crossed their line three times and kicked two of the goals. Our next two games were defeats. The first we lost to Coatesville. 26-6. and the next to West Chester, 19-0. In both cases our defeat might have been changed to a victory or at least the score altered with more rooters. Then came the game that made our season somewhat of a success, when we held Wilming- ton to a scoreless tie. After losing two games in succession, the team braced and went on the field determined not to let Wilmington take home the bacon. With the exception of the first quarter we outplayed Wilmington throughout the game and came very near scoring in the last quarter. There were numerous fumbles on both sides, owing to the slippery field. The game was preceded by the usual parade from the “Y” with the Aberfoyle band at the head. The Smedley Field was filled almost to its capacity. Wilmington sent up a large delegation of rooters. 178 OUR 1921 ANNUAL_______ Review of the Football Season and out of the five thousand spectators who witnessed the game, about one-fourth were Dela- wareans. Darby High School handed us a drubbing, the Friday following the Wilmington game. The boys didn’t put up the stiff light they did in the Wilmington game. The final whistle saw the score at 14-0. Our last game of the season was with the Alumni of Chester High School. Although the Alumni team had several stars of the 1916 (’ H. S. team, our boys had the old fight and de- feated them 7-2. The game was played on Thanksgiving Day and a large crowd attended the game. Rightmyer has been elected captain for the coming year, and Manager Hueston is arranging a hard schedule for his team. Here’s good luck to them! 179 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Review of Basketball HE 1920-’21 basketball season has been one of the largest and most successful seasons at Chester High School. Bill McMonegle proved to be a fine manager and arranged a very profitable as well as a long and interesting schedule. The schedule consisted of twenty-three games, fourteen of which we won. There are several things that are especially worthy of mention. First and most important of all. we defeated Wilmington twice; second, we had the honor of breaking Swarthmore’s four- year clean slate by defeating them in a closely contested game, and last, athletic relations with Media High School were resumed. We also scored two victories over Ridley Park and P. M. C. 2d. In the entire twenty-three games we scored 690 points to our opponents’ 554. Coach Forstburg got an early start and put the boys through a regular stiff practice. At the start of the season. Kcarc held down the pivot position, Coppock and Buono were the forwards, and Hueston and Hanley guards. After several games, Coach Forstburg shifted the line-up, put- ting Krieble in as a forward and Coppock back as a guard. Much credit is due Mr. Forstburg for the energy he put forth to give C. H. S. a good basketball team. The outlook for a good team next year is good, for Buono, Hueston, Krieble and Hanley will still be in school. The team will lose Coppock and Captain Keare by graduation. Alfred Buono, Chester’s speedy little forward, established a record to be proud of, caging an even hundred field goals and twenty-three foul tosses, making a total of 223 points. Some little shooters, we’ll say! Hueston proved to be a fine man at guard position and also adept in the foul shooting. The rest of the team played their positions equally as well. Keare is second in number of points with 162, and Hueston third with 144. A full list of the players and their 180 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Review of Basketball score and also a list of the games is at the end of this article. On December 8. we opened our season by playing the Chester Club of Swarthmore College. The odds were against us. and Swarthmore came out victorious. 31-20. Ridley Park we easily defeated, we snowing them under a 53-13 score. Then our team journeyed to Lancaster and were defeated by a 48-25 score. Although the score was large, the game was not one-sided. After this came the Faculty game. It was rich! The varsity walloped them. 50-8. Our first game after the Christmas holidays was with La Salle Prep. Chester won. 32-19. The Alumni then defeated us in a closely con- tested game. 36-25. For our next game we had an easy time with Brown Prep., walloping them to the tune of 44-17. The first Wilmington game of the season proved to be a “hummer.” .Chester came out victorious on the large end of a small score, that is. 11-9. The score see-sawed back and forth, first Chester in the lead and then Wilmington. Buono saved the day for Chester by caging three field goals and a foul goal. After the Wilming- ton game, came the game that made basketball enthusiasts and the neighboring teams sit up and take notice—the Swarthmore game. Our boys played a great game and defeated Swarth- more High, unbeaten for four years, by the small margin of one point. 32-31. Following this game we lost to Media High. 27-18. Then we de- feated P. M. C. 2d team, 37-19. Our team then took a brief slump and we lost four games in succession. First to Coatesville, 35-34. then Darby, 27-19; Swarthmore. 30-22. and Roman Catholic, 30-26. None of the games were easy for our opponents, for eight points was the largest margin by which we were defeated. After losing four straight, our team took a brace and came back to old-time form by win- ning the remaining seven games of the season. We won from Darby. 31-21; Media. 28-26; Swarthmore Fraternity, 34-24; P. M. C. 2d. 20-14; Ridley Park. 29-13. and last of all and most important, Wilmington. 31-26. Alfred Buono has been elected to captain the team next year and Duncan Hatton will be the manager. He is arranging as hard a sched- ule for the coming season as the one this season. Remember, bovs, keen on beating WIL- MIX( 1TON. 181 THE BASKETBALL TEAM. 1920-1921 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Review of Basketball CHRONICLE OF THE SEASON Chester Club.. . .31 Chester .... 20 Darby ... .27 Chester 19 Ridley Park .. . .13 53 Swarthmore ....30 22 . .48 u 25 T?mmm f’.jifhnlir 30 26 Fsu'uhv . . 8 u 16 “ 55 La Salle Prep. . tl 32 Darbv ....21 31 Alumni . .36 u Media ....26 28 Brown Prep. .. ..17 44 Swarthmore Frat.24 34 ilmington ... 9 11 P M C. 2d 14 20 Swarthmorc ... . .31 32 Media . .27 u 18 Ridley Park 13 29 P.

These candidates came when Coach Forstburg issued the call out regularly to practice until a good squad of ballplayers was picked. A very hard practice began even during Easter vacation; the boys came to Smedley Field and worked hard for the first game of the season, which opened April 8. This game was played at Smedley Field with the La Salle Prep. School. Chester defeated them by the score of 8 to 1. This game showed what kind of team Chester has. Jack Callaghan pitched the first game and showed the La Salle boys a thing or two. Our next game was played with Penn Charter at Penn Charter. In this game Chester staged a wonderful comeback. Penn Charter had Chester 6 to 0 in the fourth inning, but our boys came back strong and defeated them 7 to 6. The rea- son Penn Charter got the lead was because our boys were not accustomed to a grassy diamond, and, of course, made many errors. T lines” Xacrelli, our southpaw pitcher, twirled this game. Our third game was April 1(3 at Smedley Field. We played the Williamson Trade School and defeated them by the score of 3 to 0. This is the third straight game that Chester has won. Chester High School will meet some of the strongest teams in Pennsylvania, including Read- ing, Coatcsville. Lansdowne, etc. Our baseball team is going to defeat them all. not forgetting Wilmington High School. “Hose’’ Hueston fills the position of backstop capably. lie is also the captain and leads the 184 ■ OUR 1921 ANNUAL Baseball Keview team very successfully. Callaghan, Nachelli and Ryscr are our battery. All of them can hold up his end when on the mound. Brick covers the initial sack in an experi- enced manner. He was given a hard chase for the position by Hock, but Brick got the position. Sheldrake on the “keystone” sack picks the balls up and throws them around as if he lived at second all his life. Babe” Buono, at short handles the hot ones ably, and can stop all the balls that come within his reach, while Fuzzy” De Farge covers the hot corners, and picks up the balls as if he had a magnet in his glove. These players make up the strong infield. In the outfield, Vance is at center, and is flanked by Warren and Hock. None of them has missed a ball, and no grass grows under their feet. 186 OUR 1921 ANNUAL TKACK track season was officially opened ■ up with the cross-country season. Dur- in this season one cross-country race with Southern High was held and was won by Pete McLaughlin. At the close of this season. Robert Mills, the manager, tendered his resign- nation, which was accepted, and Frank Francis was elected to his place. Track for the first time in several years, dur- ing the past season, consisted of both outdoor and indoor track athletics. Indoor track was taken up actively after it being a dead matter in Chester High for several years. The indoor track practices were held in the Y. M. C. A. through the courtesy of that institution. During the indoor track season three meets were sched- uled with Media, West Chester, and Northeast High Schools, all of them resulting in victories for our team by large scores. The mainstays of this team were: Kriebel, Taylor. Sheldrake, Mills, Simmons, Vance and Crawford. In April thoughts turned to the outdoors and outdoor track prevailed. Our team was hindered because of lack of a field of our own, it being necessary to use the track of Swarthmore College, which, while good and very much appreciated, was very inconvenient to get to. However, we are in- debted to Swarthmore College for the use of their field, as it served our purpose. Several dual meets were scheduled, in which our track stars broke about even. Teams were entered in the Penn Relays, our team finishing fourth on the last day of these games. Other than this, quite a number of inter-scholastic meets were engaged in, from which we emerged, while never the winner, fairly successful. Discussion over track occupied much of the time in our A. A. meetings, the talk at times being very heated, but things finally worked out smoothly. 187 TRACK TEAM. 1920 1921 OUR 1921 ANNUAL TRACK The letter men of this year include: Wilbur Kriebel, captain of the team, who took first place in the high jump at Swarthmore Inter- scholastics; Barton Sheldrake, who took a place in the 220-yard dash in (lien Mills Interscholas- tics, as well as carrying the relay team to vic- tory as anchor man on several occasions; Frank Grieeo, captain-elect. Bartram Vance and George Crawford, the other members of our winning relay team; Jack Bonsall. who took a place in the Lower Merion Interscholastics; Pete Mc- Laughlin. distance runner; Robert Mills, who amassed his total in indoor track; Frank Francis, manager. Of those who failed to win a letter in com- petition. especial mention is due to Chester Tay- lor. Frank Francis, Samuel Simmons, jumpers; Matthew Huestan. weight thrower, and Theodore Ryser, sprinter. The track season of 1920-21. it can be said, was successful, if not financially, at least in the interest shown in that sport in reviving again indoor track. 189 OUR 1921 ANNUAL The Girls' Athletic Association HE Girls’ Athletic Association this year i has been a success both financially and in other fields. The association has had a larger membership this year than ever before, and has turned over fifty dollars to the Smedlev Memorial Fund. Sarah Clark, girls’ basketball manager, se- cured a long schedule, and the team showed good work by winning twelve out of the nine- teen games. We also had a number of class teams this year; the Freshman team especially established the fine record of defeating every team it played. This merely shows the wonderful teams (’. li. S. is destined to have in the future. Through the kindness and guidance of Miss Hepworth, we have kept the Athletic Association on top throughout the entire year under her leadership and the co-operation of all the girls of the school, we can surely prophesy for the Athletic Association of 1922 a banner year and the greatest success. 191 OUR 1921 ANNUAL Girls' Basketball Team SEASON OF 1920-1921 Manager Captain Coach Sara J. Clark Catharine Catharine Eggleston, 21 ................Forward Elizabeth Hunter, ’22 .................. Forward Florence Derbyshire, 22 ................ Center Hannah Christie, 22..................... Center The girls’ basketball season of 1920-1921 was very successful, as the team won twelve games out of the nineteen played and scored 693 points against our opponents’ 515 points. Although the schedule was the heaviest any girls’ basketball team of C. H. S. has played, the team did it. part and brought many victories to Chester High. The first game was against Wilmington, and although it proved a defeat for Chester, the team played well, being handicapped by the absence of the regular side-center. The next two teams played fine games and the Chester lassies lost both. Ve came back Eggleston Sarah 1). Leeds Bertha Hansel, 22..............Side-center Magdalene I ff. ’22 .....................

The next few games were played in a “see-saw” fashion without the “candlestick maker,' for Chester was on the heavy end. We defeated the following teams twice: Temple Reserves, Coatesvillc, Haddon Heights and Rid - ley Park. On a trip to Tome, Maryland, we left the Washington Hall girls “blue” with the de- feat of 37-9. On March 14, the Swarthmore High girls left Chester with a defeat of 69-15. With all these victories for Chester High— “There’s a Reason.” Our “reason” is in the person of a most faithful coach, Sarah I). Leeds. 192 OUR 19 21 ANNUAL Girls' Basketball Team It is because of her guidance that this team has been so successful. The members of the team who have been responsible for ‘‘going over the top” are: Cap- tain Kitty” Eggleston and “Lib” Hunter, who put the balls through the basket ; in the center, “Flos” Derbyshire and Bertie” Hansel kept the ball swaying to the Chester side; in guarding, Madge” I ff and Tine” Turner kept their op- ponents bewildered and unable to find the basket. Han” Christie, an able sub. kept her opponent jumping. The team work was especially notice- able in this combination. Graduation will take but one member of the team and leave six letter players for next year. Captain Eggleston wishes her successor, Cap- tain Elizabeth Hunter, a successful season next year. Sara J.

This year, more than in most years, our advertisers deserve great praise. We are in bad times, not so hard per- haps as some other times, but hard enough. Business is poor and money is tight, but we claim that you, the business men. have given “ads.” as well as in other years. % It may lx you felt you could use the money in some other way, a way that would benefit you more directly. But you were interested in your town’s high school: you were interested in making it a better high school; you wanted to help lift it to a higher standard; so you gave your liberal support. We thank you, business men. and we wish you the best of success in your busi- ness. Without your assistance we could publish nothing, but with it we can do wonders.
