PREFACE XN ACCORDANCE with the custom set by former Senior Classes, we are issuing this 1922 Annual. The Annual is a backward glance over Chester High School which we have viewed with the historian. We hope to preserve in this Annual the history of Chester High School and of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-two during the last four years. In this Annual we set forth our victories and our failures during the last four years and we hope that the coming Senior Classes will profit by our mistakes as they read this Annual. We wish to thank the business men of Chester whose support has given us this Annual to express our deepest gratitude and apprecia- tion to them. We thank the school for its co-operation and also the faculty for their good advice and sound judgment, which they have given us whenever we have needed it and have helped to make this 1922 Annual a complete success.

History of the Class of 1922 HOUR YEARS of opportunity, happiness, and friendship have now come to an end, and we leave our Alma Mater as students for greater opportunities that await us. The Class of 1922 leaves Chester High School as a class, but to her our memories will often return. One morning in September, 1918, the Class of 1922 first entered Chester High as green, un- sophisticated Frcshics. Ever since that morning we have aimed to have our class enrolled on the pages of school history. We now know our aim has been realized. The History of our class began with the elec- tion of officers for our Freshman year. The of- ficers we chose to guide us were as follows: Leon Brick, president; Paul Fcescr, vice-president; Elizabeth Hunter, secretary; Joseph McAldon, treasurer. From the very first the Class of 1922 entered school activities with “vim” and “pep.” In ath- letics we held a high record, having one of our boys in football and two of our girls placed on the basketball team. Thus endeth the first act! +------------——— ------------------------------ In September, 1919, the Class of ’22 entered C. H. S. as Sophomores with the same old “pep. Our class was immediately reorganized, result- ing in the election of Joseph McAldon, president; Florence Derbyshire, vice-president: Alice Lock- man, secretary; Frank Christy, treasurer. As in the previous year, we were well repre- sented in athletics, having eight boys on the various teams and four girls on the basketball team. In September. 1920, we entered Chester High, not as Freshmen or Sophomores, but as BIG Juniors. That year was the most illustrious of all. Our officers elected to represent the class were as follows: Frank Christy, president; Edna Rothfuss, vice-president; Magdeline Uff, secre- tary; Orlando Cloud, treasurer. During that year we had a class party, held in the cafeteria of the school. The room was decorated in our class green and white. Every- one present spent a very enjoyable evening. As in the previous years, our class had that same old “pep” and enthusiasm in athletics. ---------------------——-------------------------+ 17 1� ——— ——— — ------------” - OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of 1922 Thirteen boys participated in the various ath- letics for the boys, and six girls played on the basketball team. During our Junior year a class dance was held in Library Hall, and it was a wonderful success. Another social event and one which all Ju- niors look forward to is the Junior Recital. This also was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended. Thus ended our third year. In September, 1921, we, the Class of ’22, finally entered C. II. S. as dignified Seniors. Wt came back with a determination to make our last year the best of all. This we have most successfully done. The officers elected for our class were: Dun- can Hatton, president; Edna Rothfuss, vice- president; Margaret Tweltridge, secretary; Paul Feeser, treasurer. The first social event of the year was a dance held December 16, in Library Hall. This was a great success and enjoyed by a large number of students, alumni and friends. Our next event was the reception given to the February '22 Class. This was held after their class night in the lunch room. The evening con- sisted of games and last, but not least, “cats.” As usual our class was well represented in athletics, four of our boys secured places on the football team, four on the basketball team, and three on the baseball team. The girls basketball team was composed of all Senior girls, except one. .Several other social events took place. One of these was the reception which the Seniors gave to the Freshmen. Another interesting event was the Doll Show given by the Senior girls’ Social Service for the purpose of making money for the Social Service Society. We are anticipating several other social af- fairs to be held in the future. We arc hoping for another dance to be held as a closing event of the year. We have spent four years of hard study and work, but, on the whole, of good fun. All this is to be capped by a Class Day and a gradua- tion which we will not forget. All we have now to remind us of our school associations is the Annual. When we pick this 4------------- —■-------------------------+ 18 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of 1922 book up some fifty years from now and recall our school chums, school associations, school life, and school achievements, we shall think this the best memories of the best times we ever had in our youth. Now, as we leave all this behind us, may we enter into the world with bigger aims, bigger thoughts, and with the ambition to become big- ger men and women. The world waits for us; may we be big enough to enter in and do our work with even more determination than ever before. ‘‘Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. Elizabeth R. Hunter, ’22. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. MORRIS ABRAMS ‘•Mush” “Manager” Morris entered C. H. S. in September. 1918, from Larkin School. He soon made a career for himself as a debater. ?te- sides being one of our star debaters. “Mush” is interested in athletics. He was on the class basketball team. “Mush” also was manager of the successful baseball team of 1922. “Manager” is quite a musician. I£«� played in the school orches- tra, and during his Senior year was in the Hoys’ Glee Club. There Is one thing about “Manage� ”’ that is very mysteri- ous; it is that as soon as school stops he rushes to Atlantic City. We wonder if he is a traffic cop? Come what will, come what may, Mush” will argue any day. LENA BARTON Lena entered C. H. S. in 1916. but was out for two years on account of Illness. Of course, we are sorry that Lena was ill; but we arc very fortunate In having her graduate with us. Lena has taken the Four Year Commercial Course, but do not think that studies take all of Lena’s time. “Nick” can always make time go quickly when he is around, but of course, he can't be there all the time, so Ixma spends the rest of her time writing letters. They are addressed to Providence. This is quite a distance, but Lena’s motto seems to be Ab- sence makes the heart grow fonder.” Lena, oh. she won’t bring Lester, To this town of pep and vim. For she is afraid, we think, That the girls will pester him. 4--- 20 4- OUR 19 2 2 ANNUAL. + •+ ANNA JhNE BAXTER Anne ladies and gentlemen! Knter softly. You are in the presence of genius: Anne Jane Baxter, musican, artist, and history wizard. If we tried to toll you all the things that Anna can do, you would not be'ieve us anyway: so we won't attempt it. Anna has two hobbles that we know all about: one is getting perfect history marks and thus showing the rest of us up like so many tailors’ dummies, and the other is a deep, dark secret. Anna likes to go to the movies. Anne is bright; Anne is smart. And she cannot he excelled in art. JOSEPH BILLER “Joe,” “Farmer” Joseph Biller, alias Farmer Biller, came to Chester High School from Folsom Grammar School. Folsom, Delaware County. Pennsylvania. F. S. A. Joe is one of our bright stars in social activities and is also a wizard in his studies. Joe is property man for the Dramatic Club; and if something unusual is needed for a stage setting, you can count on Joe's getting it if everyone else fails. He was also president of the Sophomore Debating Club. Joe has a great opportunity to become a sea captain when he leaves our Alma Mater, as he rides in the P. it. T. one-man trolleys twice a day. One day. Farmer” told this to me. That he's going to buy the P. It. T. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. GUSSIE BLUMBERG LEON BLUMBERG “Gus. This young lady was graduated from Dewey School in June. 1918. She was a good student, and she was especially gifted in English. She took the four year Commercial Course and passed it with high honors. Gussie is very quiet and does not take much interest in boys, hut we guess there will soon he a young man in whom Gussie can not refrain from taking an interest. “We cannot solve this mystery. Why this girl is so fond of history.” “Stony. “Blumy” Who is this curly haired young man coming toward us in the hall? Why. don’t you know? That’s Leon Blumberg, the only boy in Chester High School who will admit he is never wrong. No. Leon knows himself that he is very good, and he does not seem to care much for the girls around High, and we won- der why? Gather round me, girls, and I'll tell you «a secret. Several nights a week Stony takes his little Hup. and rides merrily into Philadelphia. We are told that Blumy intends to go into the dry goods business some day. So perhaps he is looking for a partner. Well, all his classmates wish him huge success in which ever business he chooses, and we feel sure he will have it. +■ + OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ------ + MARY BRAY CATHERINE ISABEL BROWN ► “Mare We have with us one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Kiri s activities in C. H. S. At any of the Kiris games or at any meeting at school you will always find Mary. She is also popular because of her ability to play music that you can really dance to at lunch period, and if you are a student who is reading this, you know how much that really means. Mary is taking the Home Making Course, and we al! wish her the greatest of success in future years. Now Mary is a cheerful maid You really must admit it. You never see her wear a frown. For her all smiles are ••Kismet. Catherine is a happy-go-lucky sort of a girl. She allows nothing to worry her mind. Yet. she gets serious enough to study her lessons and does well in them. Catherine is quite a musician and like to dance. She is fond of reading fiction. There is hardly a book one may mention of which she does not know something. Most of her time is spent reading. We predict for her the career of a famous novelist. She can live without studies or live without looks, But Catherine Brown cannot live without books. +■ + 23 HAROLD BRUBECK OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ----f ALFRED BUONO -Brubeck, -Sis Harold did not enter C. H. S. with our class, but joined us, from Bethlehem, when we were Juniors. He soon became acquainted with everything and everyone, especially the «iris, and more than one of them have sighed when his manly tenor voice went soaring oiT through space. Harold is a perfect ladies’ man, and at every dance one may see him tripping the light fantastic with one of the opposite sex. especially one with red hair. If Harold likes red hair. then, all we can say is, rush girls, and get some henna hair dye. Harold is a ladies’ man We really must admit it; Why, when he dances thru the crowd. No other chap is in it. Buono, “Baby, ‘ Babe. “Shulah.’ This small boy entered Chester High School in the au- tumn of l!tlS. His names are Alfred Buono, Shulah and Babe. (He has more nicknames than a Ford.) Babe is one of the best athletes that ever played on Ches- ter High Schools major teams. He was captain of this year's basketball team. He starred in football by his punting and drop-kicking, and on the baseball diamond he is the snappi- est shortstop outside the big leagues. Babe was never much of a lady’s man. hut it seems that now he is making up for lost time. He is always hunting for a dark-haired young lady. He is a great Hunter. When you want the star of any game. Always look for Buono's name. 24 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + NORMAN BURNS WILLIAM CASEY “Burnsey” Norman is one of these very quiet persons with a smile for everyone. Kven though Norman Is quiet, he seems to he quite interested in C. II. S. One of his hobbies has been the High Y. Club. Norman was also assistant circulation manager of The Spectrum, and he performed his duties quite faithfully. While Norman has never proved to he one of our star .athletes, he has shown himself a good commercial student; and we wish him the best of luck in whatever field of work he may undertake. Wherever ye go. wherever ye be, ’Tis great success that wo wish for ye. “Bill” Four years ago. when the now illustrious Class of '22 en- tered High School, there walked, hiding furtively behind the other people a boy. “Bill’ Casey, by name, now one of the best-known boys in our class. Hut it really is rather tragic, too, because Hill” has never lost his shyness. You all should see the beautiful blush which mantles William's cheeks when a girl talks to him. “Rill hasn’t de- cided yet what he will do when he has finished High School, but whatever it is. we wish him all possible success. Hill” is so shy. and his blushes are such It is really a shame to tease him so much; Hut girls do it often, and.they all do enjoy When they tease so much this dear little boy. + 25 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + + FRANK CHRISTY ••Chris, “Chrus Frank, ever since his entrance into C. H. S.. has been one of the most active members of our class. When everything around school has to be done at the last minute for any public performance, it is always Frank who is asked, and what is more to the point, it is always Frank who does it. Frank was our treasurer in our second year and president in our Junior year. This year he is president of Dramatic Club and school cheer leader. Very good, we would say. Best of wishes for your future undertakings, Christy. MARGARET CLARK “Peg Behold! who is this tall willowy creature coming down the hall? Sure enough, it’s “Peg” Clark. Now “Peg” is quite a basketball player. It’s a secret, but she is. She used to come to Senior basketball practice every Wednesday, and no doubt she will make a name for herself when she enters into college sports. “Peg” is by no means a poor student; she seems especially interested in music. Margaret has also been ft member of the («iris’ Choral Club for three years. In years to come.” wise Frank remarked, “We'll talk of different things. Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, And cabbages, and kings.” “Margaret is tall and fair. With wonderful Titian hair; Now we wonder why we never see Her wonderful man from P. M. C. + 26 ORLANDO HALL CLOUD OUR 1922 ANNUAL. +— ‘■Bud'� “Cloudie” Chester High gained another celebrity when Orlando Cloud came from Larkin Grammar School. Of course. “Bud” is modest about it all. so lie never mentions his stellar ability in his lessons. But studies are not the only things wherein Cloudie” shines. During his Junior year he made an ex- cellent class treasurer and the Dramatic Society has benefited greatly by his work on the Executive Board and as curtain manager. Orlando has three great hobbles, namely: Fords, ladies, and audible neckties. Otherwise he’s a nice boy. And when he grows up big. they say, He hopes to be a C. P. A. ANNE COOMBES Who is this demure little lassie? Don’t you know Why it's Anna Coombes. She is our best French student. Besides being a good French scholar. Anne is an ideal commercial student. We have always wondered why Anna keeps her clothes so neatly pressed. We wonder if it is because of a. tailor. Now Anne has a great desire to become a nurse, ho if Jack ever becomes ill he will find a competent nurse in Anne. Now Anne had a little green hat. Just the color of the eyes of a cat, And sad 'tis to say. one cold windy day, Anne’s little green hat blew away. -------------------------------------------------------------+ + 27 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. WALTER COPPOCK LOUISE COX “Cal” “Cal” came to Chester High School from Franklin Grammar School. From the Freshman year on. “Car has been starring: in athletics. In his Junior and Senior years Cal” has showed up well, playing football and basketball. He is a ferocious tackier on the football team and a fast forward on the basket- ball team, and we are sure that next year's teams will be minus a good many stars, and Cal” is one of them. When Cal” leaves Chester High he is planning to go to P. M. C. or to Notre Dame. Well. Cal” we know that you will keep on starring wherever you go and we wish you luck. +•-------------------------------------------------------------- 28 Silence—a hush steals over the audience—the curtains swing slowly back, and behind the footlight stands the greatest emotional actress of the age. Look again—can it be—no—yes It is! Louise Cox. our old classmate. Well, who would ever have thought it? When she was in our class at school, everyone was predicting an army life for Louise, she liked uniforms so well. We also expected that she would live in tropical climes, she liked. Bowers” so much. Why. Louise was so fond of uniforms, she even liked the boys in military school uniforms. Louise hasn't decided yet what she will do when school is really over, but all her classmates wish her the very heartiest success and luck that can be obtained from life. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ETHEL DEAKYNE 4 MARGARET CRAIG “Marge “Peg” “Peg is one of the few quiet Kiris in our class. However, actions speak louder than words. Her picture brings before us a girl of brilliance and excellence. It is hardly necessary to tell you that she is one of the most brilliant students in ou class. She not only excels in her studies, but claims attention in other branches as well. “Marge’s wonderful talent in public speaking won for her a prize in the declamation contest. Her admirable executive ability was revealed when we made her president of the Senior organization of Social Service. Best wishes Peg” in your future undertakings. “Babe “Babe is one of the shining executive lights of our class. She has helped us up the way we should go for four years, and now. at the end of the fourth, she is able to draw a long breath and look with satisfaction on her work. For are not we coming safely into the port of Commencement and Graduation? But we must admit that here lately Babe has been neglect- ing us. We think it is because of a superior attraction in Bos- ton, and are correspondingly jealous. We suppose, though, that we must make up our minds to lose her after she has been graduated. We are sad at the thought, but what we lose, Bos- ton will gain, and we must not be jealous. 4 4 29 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. +■ WILLIAM DEANS “Bill” “Hill” came to Chester High School from Larkin Grammar School and we are glad to say that High School benefited by this happening. “Hill” was with our class only two years, his Junior and Senior years, and in these two years he forged to the front as a fellow with plenty of good common sense. In the Senior year, “Hill” was secretary of the Boys’ A. A. “Bill” is also a debater of the first class. He captained a team that beat the 11-B's to the tune of two to one. FLORENCE DERBYSHIRE “Flos” “Flos” is one of our all round girls, for while completing a very heavy schedule she has played basketball since her Freshman year, on the major teams. She was also a willing worker on the Annual” board. “Flos” seems to have a liking for young men arrayed in at- tractive uniforms. Bo it for a patriotic purpose or otherwise, Flos has the best wishes of her classmates. +— 30 + We will hear, perhaps, some day. That Flos flew away with a U. S. A. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. IRENE DERR “Sis” This calm lady came from (’rum Lynne Grammar (Lei per- v lie) School. Irene is sociable, pleasant, and entertaining. Irene has a host of friends in C. H. S. who are sorry to see h' r leave, and her classmates wish her all the success possible when she leaves C. H. S. and steps out into the bus ness world. Irene has successfully completed the Commercial Course which has prepared her to take a place with the best of stenographers. Irene hasn't much to say. Hut she has a winning way, Just to tease and tantalize. We think Irene is quite wise. + 31 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + •+ WILLIAM ELLIOTT PAUL E. FEESER “Bill is one of the most likeable fellows in our class. His nature possesses a happy combination of the characteristics most men desire. No one can deny that Bill is a good de- bater. This is he: Editor of the Annual, assistant editor of the Spectrum, debator. actor and. students shouldn’t we envy him? He is always busy and industrious. Bill is a heart- breaker. too. Isn’t that true, Eddie”? That’s what they say. Bill is a fellow of sterling qualities and is another one who has the everlasting regard, hopes, and admiration of all of us. The class wishes for your success. Bill. Now I hope you will take this praise, In the manner that’s intended; And when you’re full of greatness, 1 hope that you’re contented. “Fees' In writing of this young man, we could sum him up as one of the best”. But we must use the limited space, so we shall detail some of his achievements. First, he is editor of our Spectrum; he is treasurer of the Boys’ A. A.; and also of the class; and he was elected vice president of our class in the Freshman year. He is also somewhat of an athlete, but Work kept him from showing his ability. Next to doing what is expected of him. he likes the ladies. You should know him! He seems to be shy, but— He likes them one, he likes them all. And in return they love our Paul. MARY MADELINE FERGUSON OUR 1922 ANNUAL. CARRIE NA2ELLE FLAKE +•---- + “Madge” If one were trying to write a life history of our Madge, we should only use six words. Wards, more Wards, and more Wards. She rides in Cadillacs with Wards, and dances with Wards. VVe always thought that Wards were districts of a city, but have changed our minds since Madeline has loomed upon the horizon. Madge is also an actress of unusual ability. She was in this year’s Declamation Contest and won first prize in the serious readings, thus distinguishing both herself and C. H. S. She is taking the commercial course, and we all hope and know, that when she gets out of school she will distinguish herself in what ever line of w rk she takes up. Xazelle came from Houston High School in the Lone Star State, entering Chester High School three years ago. In her school work she takes most interest in Ixitin. Xazelle has a great deal of self-confidence. She says what she thinks and really means what she says. After leaving high school. Na- zelle wishes to be a nurse. She has the hearty wishes of her classmates, for much success in her work. Come what, come may, Xazelle must have her say. ■+ + 33 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ANNA FRANK +• + VIOLA ODESSA FONTAINE This is Viola. She looks quiet but don’t be deceived, for she is very jolly. If you don’t believe it. a«k the Kills who sit near her in the fifth study period. Nevertheless, she does well in her studies, especially French. She can speak French as well as English. We do not know what Viola intends to do. but we hope she will realize her dream of going to France some day. If she should meet a Frenchman gay. She’d calmly ask, “I’arlez-vous Francaise? When Ann entered C. H. S. in 1918, we all thought she was a rather quiet young lady, but we soon found that Ann is a very convinc.ng speaker She is a special student and a very good scholar. She is also a good sport, as she can play bas- ketball and dance, and is always ready for a frolic. Ann has two quite prominent facial expressions: one is a smile, and the other, a cross between a smile and a frown. Ann carries with her our best wishes for a successful business career when she leaves Cheater High. Anna Frank is one whom none could hate. Especially if he heard her debate. + 34 + +--------—-— ---------——-------------- OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + ISADORE GINSBURG “Doc” “Ginsy” Ginsy was graduated from the Unwood Grammar School in June of 1918 and entered C. If. S. in the fall of the same year. It was a bright sunny day when Ginsey entered C. H. S.. and he contributed a great deal in keeping it sunny around C. H. S. during his four years here. Ginsy was tin star pitch- er for his class team, and also played basketball with the second team. Ginsy was a good student and in American his- tory he was a perfect wizard. He also was ver ygood in Eng- lish. Ginsy is going to college after finishing High School. Good luck, Ginsy. Happy am I from care, quite free; Why aren’s they all contented like me? JAMES HENRY GRASTY James needs no introduction, for he is well known in Chester High School. James is very studious, history being his favorite subject. Yet he does not study all the time, for he is interested in athletics. He made the Varsity football team this year. We hear that James expects to go to college. We are sure he will be successful and will have ample oppor- tunity to indulge himself in his favorite diversion, athletics. On the list of noted names. We must put this one: “Sir” James. + 35 4 - ——• — —’•—“— .............. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. FRANK D. GRIECO ‘•Ted’' “Frankie Frank is another of those great workers of twenty-two. He is very popular throughout the school with both sexes. Frank is captain of the track team, president of Literary Society, and president of the Glee Club; besides being a good working member of the Spectrum and Annual boards. Frank is the leading debater of our class, being captain of the debating team for three years. Ted can argue along other lines also: ask a few of those girls; however, he is a willing worker, and will do anything for anyone at any time. After leaving Chester High. Ted is going to he a doctor; we wish him success. If there were any mermaids As nice as girls I've seen.

It must have been very hard for Huda to accustom herself all at once to the many and different phases of American school life, but she did n with amazing rapidity. Huda is going to college for two years when she leaves C. H. S., and all her classmates wish her the very best of success. Huda is a camp fire girl With honor heads so red.

She has been prominent in musical circles in C. H. S. and has entertained us often by singing at various public performances. But like all the rest of the girls. Betty has an Ideal. But in her case. he is a football hero. Since February. “Lib” has been rather blue, because he was graduated. Never mind. Betty. Good luck to you. Oh. Betty is a girl worth while.

HATTON BERTHA HANSEL “Birdie,” “Bert” This littV girl with blue eyes and 1'ght bobbed hair is Bertha Hansel. “Birdie” has been a very active member of our class. She has been in Glee Club for four years, and has been a member of both Debating and Dramatic Clubs. “Bert” is another of our great athletes, having played side center for two years on the varsity team. “Birdie” is very fond of swim- ming. and of one particular “Poole.” Here’s wishing her the best of luch. If you’ll give me an auto. And Millard, bright and cheery. I’ll journey on and on. For with him, I never will weary. “Dune,” “Stoop” When this great man entered Chester High School in 11 18, no one thought that he would become the leader of his class. Duncan came here from i arkin Grammar School and remained almost in obscurity until his Junior year. In his Junior and Senior years he came through in great form. He played two years on the football team; became president of his class, when a Senior; and was manager of a very successful basketball team. Duncan teems quiet and bashful, but he fell for a certain basketball manager and now Ethel loses much sleep at nights. One night Duncan said, “Will you be mine?” Sure it must be Ethel Deakyne. + 38 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. MARY J. HAWKE ELIZABETH HOOT Mary is a graduate of Franklin Grammar School. Since her arrival in Chester High School she has been noted for at- tention to business. Her work has been in the Commercial Department, where she has shown her ability as a stenog- rapher. Mary hopes some day to be secretary to a great captain of industry, where she will sit in a mahogany trimmed olllce with a host of call boys at her service. Good luck, Mary. “Lib” Wonders will never cease. “Lib” is another one of the wonders in our class. She is perhaps the best stenog. we have in our stenography classes. No doubt the employer who gets her will prize her highly. “Lib” is very modern in her ideas. The old theory said that the night air brought disease; the modern theory says it brings health. The conclusion to this is that “Lib must be the healthiest in our class. One would think that she would lose interest In her lessons, but the fact is. she is good in all of them, especially history and “stenog. First, “Lib” is here, and then she’s there; Well, you could find her anywhere. + + 39 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. MATHEW HUESTON + + OLIVE HUBER Jimmie” “Jimmie is one of the few people in our class who has an artistic temperament. She has been taking drawing ever since she entered C. H. S.. and by now she is quite an artist. Olive is also one of the few students who has continued to take Latin for four years, and we think that anyone who takes Latin for four years deserves a great deal of credit. She is a good sport and she always goes out to support the Senior class team. Most people are not very fond of bills, but Jimmie is very fond of a certain Bill.” “Jimmie was a quiet girl, interested in art, 'Till a Bill” came along and stole away her heart. Hose. as a Freshman, was so shy it would have broken your heart to see him blush, hut all that was changed when Dot came to Join us at C. 11. S.

BEATRICE MAE HUGHES “Betty This charming young lady is ‘‘Betty' Hughes. “Betty «cana to us from Dewey Grammar School, and has proved to be a worthwhile find for Chester High. She is active in musical clubs and dramatic clubs. “Betty” makes quite a charming Japanese Girl Maiden, as she showed us in “The Japanese Girl. the operetta given last year. Elizabeth is very popular with both high school and college students. Does she like to dance? Ask George. We wonder if “Betty's” favorite color is not Green. Betty 1’kes a Cadillac. And she may like a Chevrolet, But we think she prefers A Hudson coupe. We are all familiar with “Bee's saying: “Oh, T Just can’t do that. but. whatever it may be. she always does it. Among other things. Beatrice plays the piano well. She is also espe- cially interested in all the branches of domestic art and ex- pects to specialize in that work. Some day we may be paying fabulous prices and willingly, too. for some beautiful gowns from “Madame's establishment. We start her along with our best wishes for all possible success. Eyes very bright and sparkling with fun. We see by her looks that her work is done. + 41 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ELIZABETH HUNTER “Betty, “Lib,” “Hunter Betty” entered C. H. S. with our class four years ago, and has been one of our mainstays ever since. Lib is an accomplished singer, an actress, a star basket- ball player and heart-breaker. Rvery time you see “Lib” she has a new beau.” When she gets tired of one, she gets rid of him and gets a better one. Independent, we would say. Betty” captained the girls’ basketball team this year through a successful season, and when she has been graduated she expects to go on with athletic work. Good luck. Hunter. Talk on. fair maid, of Babe” if you must, But do not bother the rest of us. MATTIE LOUISE KELLY There entered Chester High School four years ago a shy and bashful little Kreshic. This was Mattie. But oh. how’ people do change; so has Mattie. No more i« she shy, but the most lively of the lively. Nevertheless, Mattie does well in her lessons. She wishes to continue her education in a higher institution. We wish her much success. What happened this maiden, so bashful and shy? We think we know, but we’ll tell by and by. + 42 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. +---- + ALAN TURNER KNIGHT MARY H. LETSCHE “Knightie” Alan is the blush artist of our class and can at any time command a most remarkable blush right down to his collar. He probably learned this at Marcus Hook Grammar School, as such things are foreign to C. H. S. • Knightie has marked dramatic ability and is wont to hold his audience spellbound during performances. His main feature this year was the part of George Washington. And in the last scenes he was very natural. We wonder why Alan has been singing “When Frances Dances With Me” lately! It's not a riddle, 'cause you can see, Where Alan “hangs out” at quarter of three. “Mary” In our Junior year we had another addition to our class in the person of Mary Letsche, who came from Peabody High School, in Pittsburgh. Mary beats them all out on the stud- ies. a most commendable trait, but her chief asset is her in- ventive genius. This is confidential, of course, but Mary is at present busily inventing an invisible gas mask. So far the only fault with it is the fact that she is so slow in producing it. “Mary had a little lamb. Her father killed it dead; Now Mary brings the lamb to school, Also a slice of bread. 43 + OUR 1922 ANNUAL. AUGUSTA LINTZ “Chub entered High School four years ago with the class of 1H22. and has been one of the most popular members of the class ever since. Anyone in the sixth lunch period could identify the tall girl with yellow bobbed hair, who goes around with a worried expression on her forehead and on her lips the question. “Who knows what we have in stenography today?” Yes, when Gus gets out of school she is going to be “Somebody’s stenog. “Chub also likes “Crabbs and is especially fond of danc- ing with them. We all think this rather odd. because we never heard of dancing with a Crabb” before. Never mind, “Chubb.” save your blushes for Saturday night. All her classmates wish Augusta the very best success in her chosen line of work, and we all feel sure that she will realize her ambitions by her perseverence. ALICE MARY LOCKMAN “Polly,” “Al” This tall brunette is Polly Lockman. Al was a class offi- cer in her Sophomore year. Polly likes houseparties. we all know. Just mention Springmount and watch Polly's expres- sion change. Polly also likes to sit on the beach at Ocean City in the sunlight, especially when there is only one “Rae”. Polly has many times expressed her desire for a Cadillac and well—just listen to her rave about the U. of P. students; here's hoping,she gets her desire. Now Polly likes blondes, we all of us know. For when home from her vacation she came, She seemed to remember just one little “Joe''; I wonder if she’ll e’er feel the same?” +•---- 44 + ELIZABETH LOVELAND OUR 1922 ANNUAL. FLORENCE LUKENS +• “Lovey” “Betty” Lovey is the only bright spot in what would he, perhaps, rather dull days. She dances and sings, and incidentally studies just a little, her way through school, and we simply couldn't do without her. Sometimes her laugh is the only cheerful sound we hear from eight-thirty to two-forty-five. From this you must think that Betty is only frivolous. She has a great deal of executive ability, and has come thru the ordeals of various public offices with Hying colors. We can't see how she makes her school work and dates dovetail so nicely. It is one of the seven wonders of the world. You never can find Lovey without a date; especially in evidence is she at dances But, too, she always has her school work done. We wish her the best of luck in her work in after life. Jimmy —that’s what we call her. Florence, alias '.Iim- my”. No one knows how it came about, but anyway it just exists. Whenever we see her, we may be sure to be greeted with a bewitching smile. Have you ever seen it? Then, if you haven't, beware, for something's likely to happen more or “Less. She is a girl who can face difficulties with confidence and resolution. Jimmy's faithful perseverance in her studies has earned her the respect of the students; likewise, she shall earn the respect of others. So many things to tell you— They say it’s true, I guess; But don’t let Jimmy kid you. For she always thinks of Ix ss . ELIZABETH MARTIN MABEL MARTIN “Libby” Elizabeth came to C. H. S. from Dewey Grammar School in 1918. They say •‘Still waters run deep,” and this applies to Elizabeth. Although we never hear much of Libby outside of school, we know that she can be very Jovial when there is occasion to be. No doubt Elizabeth will be the private secre- tary of some great man in Wall Street. Here’s wishing you the best of luck. Now Libby is quiet, we all must confess. But in Junior Recital she surely was dressed; She came, and she sang with the best of us all. She certainly did give us a terrible fall. Mabel has come joyously through four long years of the Commercial Course in C. H. S. We often wondered what made her such a ‘iray” of light, and just the other day we found out that “Ray” was the cause of It. We have been wishing that we, too, had a “Ray” to guide us thru dark days of school; but turn your attention elsewhere, girls; he never wavers in his allegiance to Mabel. We have this from reliable au- thority. Mabel is witty, Mabel is tall; But when Ray's around, she leaves us all. OIJR 1922 ANNUAL. ANTONIO A. MICOCCI “Tony” Tony came to us from Franklin School in 1918. He is the deep thinker of our class. During our Sophomore and Junior years. Tony” did not say very much, hut in the Senior year he came to the front with the others. Tony wrote our Class Song: and Class Poem for us. He is a bright French student and if you think that he isn’t, why ask Miss Hepworth. Tony is bright and gay. Also very -vary. He has a winning way. You think not. ask Mary. ETHEL MILLS “Et” Ft” came to Chester High School from Larkin Grammar School. She is a Jolly and witty girl, who thinks favorably toward the male members of our class and also some ex- members. Fthel is another one of our commercial students and we think that she will soon be a private secretary to the Mayor of some large city. In the Senior year. Fthel was one of our classmates who took part in the plays given by the Dramatic Society, and we agree that she is a good actor. Fthel is fond of horns and harps. Also of a fellow named Harold Sharp. +• + 47 + ---- OUR 192 2 ANNUAL. + HELEN MINSHALL JOSEPH McALDON ‘Billie” This very small maiden came from Larkin Grammar School in 1918. She was one of the smallest of Freshmen and she still is about the smallest Senior. Dancing and history (Amer- ican) are the two important things in Helen’s career. Kvery morning Helen rushes in at eight-thirty-nine and in a jiffy opens her history book and studies, oh so very, very hard (?) After •‘Billie” is graduated she hopes to become a private sec- retary, but we expect to find Helen portraying the part of a little boy in some show; for instance, a Doll Show. -Billie” had a little light. She had it trained no doubt, ’Cause every time that ‘‘Eddie’” came, That little light went out. “Mope” “Joe” This athletic looking young man is Joe McAldon. Joe came from Larkin Grammar School in 1918. Joe was presi- dent of our class in his Sophomore year. Besides having been class president, Joe has played on the Varsity football team for three years. He is very much interested in C. H. C.. at least it seems to hold a great deal of attraction for him. Perhaps if Joe were to leave Sun Hill earlier at night he would not be late every morning. Joseph was our marshal, once; To m.irshall us. he tried; But we were Sophomores, rough and tough. And Joseph nearly died. ETHEL McFADDEN OUR 1922 ANNUAL ANNA LORAINE MacMULLEN In Ethel MacFadden we have one of the quietest but busiest girls in the class. Ever since she came to Chester High from Larkin Grammar School, Ethel has been doing things in her quiet way. In her studies she shows her ability most, yet her interests do not seem to be totally absorbed in lessons. For instance, she is often heard to remark. “Very good. special emphasis is placed on Eddie.” Ethel is a member of Debating Society and seems very much interested in it. So here’s to Ethel McFadden. Perhaps you have heard the name, And even though you haven't We are proud of her just the same. “Rainbow, ' “Mac” This very charming little Miss came to us from Franklin Grammar School, and she was even smaller then than she is now. if that is possible. “Mac is awfully fond of sailors and gets a thrill every time she sees a gob’s uniform. She has a hobby, too. and that is to achieve an M. R. S. degree after leav- ing Chester High. Other than this she's a very modest (?) and retiring child.

She is a very quiet girl, except when she is with some of her girl friends and then—well judge for yourself.

If you are angry and sad. Go to “Peg. you’ll soon be glad.” Haines Haines came to Chester High School from Franklin Gram- mar School. Of Haines we can say that he was always active. In his Junior year he took an active part in Literary Society nnd also in Dramatic Society. In the Senior year. Haines was president of Debating Society. He was also elected manager of Track and everyone says that he was a good manager. For a general all-around good fellow. Haines fills the bill. Debator and orator was he. Haines, old pal, we envy thee. + •+ 50 ADELAIDE REINHART OUR 192 2 ANNUAL. EDNA MILLICENT RISK -Ad, “Addle” Adelaide did not enter C. II. S. from any of the schools around Chester. She came from way off.” when the Class of '22 had begun its third year as jovial Juniors. She has en- tertained and surprised us many times, but the greatest sur- prise of all was when she came to school one morning with her hair bobbed. That was a shock, because none of the other girls would have parted with even one of the curls that adorned Adelaide's head in such profusion. But perhaps her greatest triumph came in the Doll Show, and her part was one of the things that made it a success. For this we all thank her. Adelaide's hair had a penchant for blowing. One day we found her to a barber shop going; The next day to school she came shaven and shorn, But •‘Addle” did not look at all so forlorn. “Eddie,” “Ed.” Edna has been a very enthusiastic worker during her four years in Chester High. She worked hard for the Social Ser- vice during the Red Cross drive. “Eddie” was in a terrible way trying to And out the records for the girls’ basketball season in order to make a Spectrum report. She had not been to one game. You could hear “Ed exclaiming several times a day. How shall I start it? She has been a very willing worker, .and we hope she will remain so in her efforts as a stenographer. She could be happy with one little boy. If there were no others around; And if he were not so very coy. “Ed’s” cup of joy would be found. +• + 51 + —-------———• —————------——----------■ ■----———■—•-—•+ OUR 1922 ANNUAL. GERTRUDE CORDELIA ROBERTS EDNA ROTHFUSS “Gert” In school you might think “Gert” was exceptionally quiet, but when she is with a crowd of «iris, you’d be surprised. Al- though “Gert expects to become a stenographer, she is very fond of dancing, especially of leaching dancing. She may become a dancing teacher rather than a stenographer; who knows? Gertrude is very ambitious and has a good standing in all of her lessons. She has a winning way and has many friends. We hope she will make a great success in her career. When is Gert in her delight? Jf I tell, there'll sure be a fight; Hut I’ll fight with all my might; Now, I’ll whisper—he’ll all right. 52 This very bright young maiden came from Franklin Gram- mar School in 1918 with the rest of the little Freshies.” She was quite demure, but our teachers soon found that Edna had one particular talent; the ability to charm an assembly room full of noisy Freshmen and other pupils by simply play- ing the piano. After this Edna was always called upon to play at anything going on at High School. When C. H. S. loses Eddie, she will lose a very great personage. Who knows but that Edna will be one of the great musicians?

GILMOUR SCHMAELZLE ---- + MILDRED SCHIECK “Midge. “Jerry” Midge” is one of the very few girls interested in domestic science. We can picture her some years from now at the head of a large cafeteria. “Jerry goes out to support the Senior class team nearly every Wednesday afternoon, because she usually happens to be over town on this particular after- noon. We often wonder why it is that she is over town Wed- nesday afternoon, because “Midge” lives on Butler street. One of Midge's failings is a liking for Herbs. The special kind of an “Herb” that Midge likes is the kind that comes in hard cans. “Midge went a walking one winter day. And thus she found an ‘Herb along the way. Gilmour is one of our shining lights. He has only one fault. He likos the ladies. He squires all the girls to dances, debates, and all public affairs, but here lately he seems to have narrowed down his field of activity to one. namely, to Ruth. Do not let us give the impression that all of Gilmour’s life is spent in frivolous pursuits, however. He can hold his own in any of his classes, and we know that he will make his mark in the years to come. Gilmour had a little girl. The girl was tall and fair; And every place that Gilmour went. But he would make it a i air. +■ + 53 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + MAX SCHWARTZ “Schwartzie” This young man did not enter with our class in 1918. but as he is a special student he was allowed to complete the high school course in three years. We should compliment him on this accomplishment. Max is small, but he always makes himself heard in the class room. He continually brings up new theories in class, most of them his own. He has been on debating teams and has taken various parts in plays for school entertainments. LOUISE SEAMON Louise arrived in C. II. S. in 1918 from the wild and woolly town of Eddystone. Now I ouise is a quiet, demure sort of person, who never speaks except when she is spoken to. but then you know ‘•still waters run deep,” and everything like that. Louise is taking the Four-Year Commercial Course, and intends to be somebody's private secretary, and we have no doubt but that she will be successful in her future career. Max is small, we must admit, But that is physically speaking; And so when he gets up to ‘’preach His classmates hear some squeaking. A gentle nature she does have Gentle, quiet, kind, and true.

RUTH SHEFFIELD r LILLIAN SIMPKINS •‘Ruthie” Ladies and gentlemen: You now see before you one of the wonders of the age; namely, Ruth Sheffield, otherwise known as Mr. Hartley's pet abomination. Yes, it is sad, but true, Ruthie breaks up what would be otherwise perfectly good classes by giggling. Yes, Ruth, we all admired the flowers that “he sent you Valentine’s Day. Also we liked him. but we can’t tell our readers his name, because we can't spell it. In that, though, Ruth is way at the head of her class. In spelling and laughing our Ruthie is first; Hut when starting to speak of him” her lips they're pursed. “Lil” Lillian came to C. H. S. from Larkin Grammar School with a record that would have turned Socrates green with envy, both in lessons, and in things of other nature. When she finally, after years of hard work, arrived at C. H. S.. Lil- lian was always in evidence. Whenever we. the Class of 1922, had charge of chapel ir. our undergraduate days. Lil was our mainstay. In Junior Recital, too, she entertained us again. Lillian took the four year Commercial Course and when she steps outside the portals of C. H. S. as an alumnus, we arc sure she will be besieged with employers who need a really competent stenographer. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. ROGER Sr.lTH “Smitty” While “Smitty did not enter High School with our illus- trious Class of 1922. he joined us very early in our career, and has been the original Little Sunshine” of the class ever since. He has a remark for every occasion whether appro- priate. or otherwise; unusually otherwise. Perhaps, some day our tall classmate will reach the heights of a real telegraph operator. He certainly seems to be working hard enough, the way he is roaming around at pres- ent with a wireless magazine in his hand. We wonder why he aspires to such ambitious'heights. Maybe he wants to tele- graph to Atlantic City once in a while. There's no telling. Joking aside, we all wish Roger the success that rewards honest effort in his future life. + DOROTHY IRMA STEIN “Dot” Dorothy is one of too popular young ladies of our class. She is a good sport and a jolly companion. Just ask Cather- ine; she'll tell you all of Dot’s secrets. We all know that Dot can do the Virginia reel from the part she took in the Christ- mas play. Dorothy has a special attraction outside of school. You generally know when Tom is away, because she is so very down hearted. Even though Dorothy is taking the stenographic course, we do not know what her real plans are. Whatever she does, she has the best wishes of C. H. S. for her success. When Dot is with her best friend. Tom, Tis a wonderful couple to look upon. ------------------------------------------------------------ 56 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + ISABELLA STETSON “Issie” Issie” has not been with us while we have been romping thru the whole four years of our High School course. She joined us lately, and we must admit with all justice that she is an acquisition, especially along the lines of lessons. That is where she shines. Even in history class when the rest of the poor dumbbells are shaking their heads in black despair, Issie goes calmlx on reciting and gives dates, periods, or govern- ments with the same ease. That is a trait we admire. Good luck, Isabelle, in after years. FRANCES SQUIBB “Sis” The doors of C. H. S. opened in September, 1918, to admit the Freshmen, and at the same time, slipping in with the rest came Sis. After four years of hard work she has suc- ceeded in finishing the Four Year Commercial Course, and now will be a stenographer like many other girls. But Frances seems rather old fashioned, inasmuch as she seems to prefer a Knight to any of our modern Romeos. But again, just mention the name of Foity when Frences is around and sec her blush. Frances is a maiden fair. With large brown eyes, and curly hair; She is the one who would not dare To look at another, when A1 is there. --- 57 Issie is there, you'll all agree.

She has entertained us on many occasions with her dra- matic work, and in a sketch called “The Lunatic she pave the principal character in a remarkably natural manner.

He gave her a terrible fall. Edward came to us from the wilds of Eddystone, and has stuck to “1922” ever since, never wavering in his allegiance except once, when we were rivaled by a yellow haired under- classman. Hut we should not have worried because the under- classman moved away, heartbroken Eddie came back to us. and found that everything nice was not far away.

During his Junior year he played on the famous Junior baseball team. This year he distinguished himself in the literary activities by success- fully filling the positions of advertising and business manager of The Spectrum and also of the Annual. But “Phinny” doesn’t confine his attention to scholastic activities. For instance, who is Betty? Now “Phinny leaned over a gas tank. The height of the contents to see. He lighted a match to assist him— Oh. bring back my “Phinny to me. “Bob” Bob is known everywhere by his friendly smile. He smiled his way both into our class from the Industrial Course and into the good graces of “Agnes. Gather round me. girls, and I’ll tell you a secret.

This is “Mil.” the “quiet student of our class. At times her thoughts wander far away from class, but we know not why or where. Perhaps she is seeking an inspiration. Mildred is a “jolly good sport” and anyone of the class could vouch for this. Mildred, whatever you choose as your life work, remember the Class of '22. for it shall be behind you. Farewell, classmate, and let us see What a great success you can be. “Dot” Wc have another fair charmer in our class in the person of Dot Williamson. She. too, came from Franklin Grammar School, and even at that tender age had a number of scalps on her belt. Why is Dot so fond of Ocean City? Well, some summer go down and see her strolling along the burning sand� , and you will understand why. Dorothy is pretty certain that she will never work, because she has plenty of Jack” already. She likes them blonde. She likes them fat; Hut most of all She likes her “Pat. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + CLASS PKOPHECY EFORE a table strewn with pa- pers. in a room where silence was predominate, I found myself alone with my thoughts. Vainly did I search for that mysterious power which writers and poets call inspiration. A prophecy to write, and no inspiration! As I cast my eyes lovingly and yet with discouragement over the papers which bore evidence of my hand writing, I realized only too well the examples of trial‘and error. How often had our well-liked psychology teacher explained such experiences to us. They were welcome then, but now the vorv thought of erring made me shrink away with despair. It was not until I began to regard the prophecy as connected with some supernat- ural power that I enjoyed any real inspir- ing ideas. After that, one thought sug- gested another until I found my whole mind centered upon a mere bit of magic incense, which had been given me years before. It was just the thing, and my heart fairly popped with joy, as I deemed it my in- spiration. Why hadn’t I thought of it be- fore? It was sure to have some charm, and why not work a spell in revealing the future? Carefully withdrawing it from its secluded nook in the library drawer, 1 examined it and made ready for the ex- periment. A sickening fear and dread crept over me as I lighted the magic incense; laughingly I watched it. But almost im- mediately the smile fell from my face, and my senses were dulled and made dumb by a pungent, choking and sinuous smoke which wound itself around me. All about became dark, except for a strange oriental figure which I perceived gliding about and haunting me, as it were, a Hindu prophet; indeed, vaguely, sub-conseiously, I retrod that the’ years were slipping, slipping by like seconds. I felt myself whirling and careening about as if I were lighter than air. Suddenly and abruptly 1 stopped. My surroundings were again bright, and I was able to distinguish objects. As my mind ■ + 64 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. CLASS PKOPHECY was on the prophecy, it was no wonder I thought of my classmates. Directly be- fore me was a large stone building. “It is June 2, 1950,” whispered the prophet. This building is Chester High School. Let us enter. Silently we crept in. How different it was! Surely this was not my Alma Mater! On and on we wandered througli the spac- ious halls. Beautiful statues and paintings met our gaze. In wonderment we climbed the marble stairways. But hark! What was that deep masculine voice which echoed through the halls? Eagerly we sought from whence it came. In the auditorium our eyes at last found its owner in a tall, hand- some, but rather elderly man. “Behold,” said the prophet, “his honor, the Mayor, Duncan Hatton, of Chester.” Well, well, Dunk had succeeded beyond my wildest hope. Evidently, as I learned from my guide, the prophet, this was a community meet- ing for all loyal citizens of Chester. Mayor Hatton was emphatically reminding the people of their duty, and pleading for their efforts to get the instruction of aviation as part of the high school curriculum. On the stage were Chester’s most prom- inent men and women. But what impressed me most were the strange costumes these people were wearing. All the men, includ- ing the bald-headed ones and those with grey hair, were wearing knee breeches and high Buster Brown collars. The women were decked out in men’s trousers. Great Jupiter, how times had changed! “Lo. seest thou that grave and severe woman? That is Miss Edna Rothfuss, the new principal of Chester High School, con- fided the prophet. “It was through her efforts that the pupils were allowed the privilege of using the new swimming pool, two periods a day and five days a week.” Thus speaking, the prophet tried to de- part, but I begged him to stay. After thinking deeply for a few minutes, the old man replied: “0 fortunate one, the rest of thy class- mates are not yet revealed to you. But harken! Tonight a banquet and reunion of the class is being held in the lunch room. There let us be and there shall we see them.” Thus I followed the wizard about the streets until I found myself standing aghast -----------------------------------—---------+ 65 --------------------------—--------------—■— —---■� OUR 1922 ANNUAL. CLASS PKOPHECY in front of a bill-board, which read: “Hear the voice of the world-famous soprano, Madame Hunter, in your own home. Buy the Victor Records.” How it thrilled me. My heart swelled with pride as I beheld the names of Elizabeth Loveland and Ethel Deakyne, my old school chums. Slowly I glided through the swift air till evening should come passing along, my eyes rested upon a sign in front of a large gray mansion. “I)r. Phinnes Wittenberg. How to Keep Fit.” Another successful schoolmate. At a news-stand I purchased a maga- zine called, “The Daily Scream.” Larger than the title itself was the name of Paul Feeser, the editor. Eagerly I turned the pages until I beheld Frank Grieco’s name staring me in the face. From the article I learned he was a noted writer of humorous verse, and also the composer of a sweet ballad entitled, “Fin Dreaming That I Love You Still.” At the bottom of the page my eves be- held the program for the Punks Motion Picture Palace. The picture then playing was called, “I Hear Love’s Angel Calling Me.” To my utmost astonishment, I read .-------------------------—------------------- 66 the words printed below: “This play writ- ten by Mr. Dalmas especially for his star, the beautiful moving picture actress, Made- line Uff.” Evening was approaching and the prophet and I returned to the school. We entered the lunch room and I stood in amazement at the sight of my old class- mates. First I perceived the excited figure of a man and heard the merry screaming voices of the others. No doubt they were indulging in the class cheer. Again I heard the prophet’s voice. “Surely thou knowest that gentleman, for he has changed but little during these years?” Thus saying the prophet handed me a card and I read, “David Frank Christy. Expert Attorney on all Law Ques- tions.” Then gradually the prophet’s voice be- came lower and more and more indistinct. Slowly the banquet scene faded from my sight. Now I was conscious that the spell was ended, for I was again in my old sur- roundings. This time worriment had fled, and I knew that the charm had been suc- cessful. . 13 Adelaide C. Hkin hart.

For This, Much Thanks INCE our class is only the second per- manent February class, and we are so very small in number, it has been im- possible to make arrangements for our own An- nual; but due to the kind offer of the Class of 1922. we are permitted to have our share of this Annual. Here, we wish to extend to the June class, our sincere thanks and appreciation for their generosity. We hope that we have done our share by making our work the best it is possible for us to make it. therefore helping to make this book a success. Here, in Chester High School, we have spent four of the happiest years of our lives. We have made firm friendships among the faculty and pupils and we have learned to appreciate their sympathy in our disappointments, and their pleasure in our successes. To our Alma Mater, our teachers and our fellow students, we leave the best wishes for suc- cess in every phase of life. So, when the members of the (’lass of Febru- ary, 1923. look through this book of ours, in later years, let us recall the days in Chester High School, as the happiest of our lives. Bernice B.

History of the Class of February, 1923 JURNING over the pages of our life book, d we see under the date of February 18, 1919, a rather prominent entry. It is the entrance of the Class of February, 1923. On that date a group of white-covered, but nevertheless green freshies entered the wide por- tals of Chester High School, and gazed with wonder at the long halls and spacious classrooms that were so different from their own wonderful, but small grammar schools. We Were rather late in getting started, as our group was very small; but the old proverb, “Good things come in small packages,” has proved true in our case, and once Miss Barnet, our very efficient adviser, got us started, whew! no one could have stopped us. But at last after the boys had gone through the various stages of torture that come to all Freshmen, we settled down and elected the fol- lowing officers: President, Victor Wright; vice- president. Margaret Witsil; secretary, Ann Hughes; treasurer, Margaret Palmer, and his- torian, Ethel Hibbert. During our Sophomore year our pennants ar- rived, and everyone—at least everyone in our class—agreed that they were better pennants than any class had yet received. Never were two colors so harmoniously combined, never was a design so ingeniously worked out. We didn’t seem to have luck with our presi- dent, for Henry Nacrelli, who was elected to that office, after a few months of duty had to resign on account of changing his course. We then elected Benjamin Sternberg, who filled the po- sition very capably till the end of that term. We also took charge of the Flag Day pro- gram that year, and that, like everything else we did, turned out a great success. At the beginning of our third year, we began to realize that our school career was slowly, but surely drawing to its inevitable end. We there- fore got to work quickly and elected: President, Margaret Witsil; vice-president, Bernice Bolton; secretary, Ethel Hibbert; treasurer, Alice Schnvas, and historian, Nathan Plafker. We must here mention our wonderful de- bating teams, the teams with the record of never having been beaten. Is there another class with such a record? + 77 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of February, 1923 Then arrived that interesting thing of the Junior year, our class rings. Maybe we aren’t proud of those Roman gold rings, with “Good Ship. Welcome” placed in the center. The girls of the class took a prominent point in the bazaar and doll show, given by the Social Service So- ciety, and their dainty little aprons and caps, combined with a winning smile, was the cause of so much gold pouring into the treasury. Then came the crowning glory of the year, the Junior Recital, and all who were privileged to see it, will agree that that was a success. When we heard Bernice say Riley’s lines in that laughingly, pathetic voice, we didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, while most of the people in the audience did both. Now comes the Senior year, with its various attacks of Senioritis. Realizing the importance of selecting good officers, we elected: President, Bernice Bolton; vice-president, Margaret Pal- mer; secretary, Gertrude Hysore, and treasurer, Evelyn Cuddy, to guide our ship through the dangerous waters of the Senior year. The time for a memorial was drawing near, and we de- cided to continue the good idea started by the February, 1922, Class; that is to place a clock +—------------------------------------------------ in the tower of Chester High School, a thing that will be of use to the pupils and to the community at large. For this purpose we shall contribute a good round sum. Then came the St. Patrick Novelty Dance, which was held March 17. That was a grand affair, as everyone who was present will testify. One could hardly recognize Library Hall, so was it camouflaged with the green paper, and various colored balloons that swayed gently throughout the evening, casting a delightful shadow over the gliding couples. So, now that the school career of the Class of February. 1923. is coming to a close, we have the satisfaction of feeling that our work has not been in vain, for we have something to show for our labors. Graduation has been our goal, but now that it is in our grasp, we feel uncertain about the outcome, and almost wish we were back again as Freshmen, for we are doubtful as to the manner in which the world is going to treat us. But, let us remember, if we strive hard enough, we shall always come out on top; so, with the best wishes to all, we again close our life book. Alice B.

With iTim she can be seen (and sometimes be heard) at all hours of the day. At present «he is busily endeavoring to keep Joe on the straight and narrow path. Dot is very stud- ious, and (once in a while) she is seen studying history. C. H. S. will lose a lively girl when Dot says farewell. They are seen everywhere. North, Hast. South and West. Dot and Joe. the pair. When Joe leaves, who’ll be her best? “Bee,” “Skeesix” “Good goods come in small packages.” Bernice arrived at Chester High School from Dewey Grammar School in 1919. She is president of our class now and was vice-president in her Junior year. How she found time to do so much, few of her classmates know; but if hard work will bring honors down, to the good place she will go. She’s been editor and president and a great amount of things; and all the Class of ’23 full praise to her it sings.

It is on such a team as this that • Brickie plays. Brickie’s” ability runs in other lines also. This can be shown bv the way he worked when he was on the committee for the dance.

We did not hear much from him during his Freshman or Sophomore year, hut all at once in his Junior year, we hear “Sir Kay express his innermost feelings in the form of witty sayings. From that time he is known as the class Jester, and trouble maker. He also belongs to the select circle of physicists. “Jake can be seen experimenting every Monday and Tuesday in the laboratory. The only fault that is found in him is that he very seldom, if ever, has anything right in his experiments (??????). The halls of C. H.

THOMAS DWYER ---+ EVELYN CUDDY A jolly good sport, with a laugh and a smile for everyone. “Ev.” Ev” came to us from the Bowen High School, of Chicago. She is especially fond of basketball. Is it the players or the game? We wonder. Another of Evelyn’s hobbies is dancing. She’d rather dance than eat. “Ev” was conspicuous by her silence in history class, until one day she answered a question and then the class sat up and took notice. When “Ev” left Chicago, we gained a good sport and a fine scholar. Our “Ev” is very quiet When walking with the boys; But you just ought to hear her, When she does make a noise. “Tom.”’ “Peanut” “Tom” came to Chester High from Dewey Grammar School and became a member of the Class of February. 1923. “Tom” is very active in class affairs, although in class meet- ings his usual speech is, I decline.” We wish “Tom” success in whatever vocation he chooses.

Oh, it's just “Kitty down there in the back of the room. Studying? No. Laughing because C.

This mysterious animal which is so terrifying to “Kitty is a four-legged creature in the form of a mouse. Hut this is telling tales out of school. “Kitty'' is a good sport and is an active member of our class. She is well-liked by her classmates. In history she is not a star.

Cleo came to C. H. S. from Watts Grammar School. She took up the Academic course and deserves much credit in getting her lessons so well, as she was out of school some time, due to illness. She is indeed a worker. You should have seen her hustle cakes at the Social Service Bazaar. Cleo is very quiet. She is one of those girls who is seen and •not heard. But don’t think for one minute that there is no life in her. She is full of fun. We send our best wishes With you. Cleo. as you go onward from C. H. S. School days are over, Life’s work begun.

She would rather dance than sleep or eat. We also notice that Ann like to wander in the direction of the I . M. C. We wonder why? Ann is also fond of the alumni of her Alma Mater. Again, wo wonder why? One day Ann had a sore finger, but her ' friends assured her that the “Doc would fix it up. Ann ex- pects to go to college and we wish her luck in her career. She likes dancing and movies And men, and such things; i But to study, she hates, For great sorrow it brings. HELEN HUNTER “Nothing but death shall e’re divorce my dignities.

She was secretary of our class in the Junior year, and carried out her work very successfully. ••Gert ’ also was an assistant to the treasurer of our Social Service group. She is always ready and willing to lend a hand to anyone. We are sure she will make a name for herself In life. We give you our best wishes. ‘Gert. ’ Her eyes are brown. Her hair is. too.

Merrill entered this renowned educational edifice from Franklin Grammar School. The old saying, Still waters run deep. can be truthfully applied to him. He is seldom, if ever heard. His actions indicate that he is very quiet and shy. but his brains must work overtime because he is one of the bright (?) boys of our class. Merrill’s best liked study is history. It is indeed a treat to hear him recite his history assignments.

MARY EDITH JOHNSON With a good heart worth much gold.” Edith came to Chester High from Dewey Grammar School. She is very efficient in her work and has a smile for everyone. Although badly handicapped by illness, she has managed to laugh her way through. She also has a pretty alto voice. Edith took up the Academic course and has some very high ambitions. Among these is one to go to college. We hope these all will materialize in the near future. In whatever she may do, we wish hei success. Laughing, laughing all day through. Every time she looks at you. CHARLOTTE GENA LESSY Pack up your troubles in an old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to in- troduce to you Miss Charlotte Gena Lessy. the star pianist of our class. Another of Charlotte’s accomplishments is laughing You can't be sad when Charlotte is around; she just makes you laugh. If you see a bobbed-haired brunette walking along the hall, dressed in the height of fashion, and with a winning smile on her lips, just ask no question, it is Charlotte. She winks and giggles and simpers. She simpers and giggles and winks, And although she doesn’t say much. ’Tis vastly more than she thinks. •¥ + 86 _____ T. -E OUR 1922 ANNUAL. JACOB MUCH WILLIAM McCLOSKEY “Jake,” “Jacques Beaucoup” Ladies an l gentlemen, let me introduce to you “.Take” Much, a person who is seen and heard in the halls and class- rooms of Chester High School. “Jake is very educated. This can be seen by the fact that he can debate (?) (?) on any question and at any time, or in other words, until a decision is reached. Jake” is also an industrious boy. This can be proved by the fact that he was assistant advertising manager for our class. Jake” is also a “jazzer of wicked ability.” When Jake will leave (nobody knows when), C. H. S. will lose a jolly good sport, who does not find sadness in every misfortune that happens. 4------------------------------------------------------------ “Bill” Bill” McCloskey is one of the most popular members of our class. He was elected football manager for two successive seasons—1921 and 1922. Bill” is a singer and talented poet of no mean ability. He is also joke editor of The Spectrum and chairman of the Senior dance committee. Bills poems and stories are frequently found in “The Spectrum,” and are enjoyed by all who read them. One of Bill’s” favorite studies is physics. He is a physicist unique and he can be seen during the second and third periods, Monday and Tuesday, experimenting with different instru- ments, and sometimes having the experiments perfect. (?)

She has the most infectious merry little laugh. Mary is always in- tensely interested in something, but it is puzzling to know what the latest object is; she changes to new ones so quickly. However, her greatest ambition is to write; and, if imagina- tion is the primary requisite, then we are sure that Mary will succeed. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any state of the market.” Peg” comes to us from that large place known as Lin- wood. She took the commercial course and has completed it very satisfactorily. She is one of the most popular girls in the class. She took an active part in making the Senior dance a success, and as Mr. Butler in the play at the Freshmen Reception, she helped to entertain us. Peg” is full of fun and a Jolly good sport. She has held several offices in the class. We remembr her especially as treasurer. Leave it to Peg to get the dues. As a last word, the class wishes her a very successful career. OUR 1922 ANNUAL. + -+ NATHAN PLAFKER MILDRED SKILLMAN Nate” has been one of the most active of our class boost- ers. For the past four years he has been our class historian. Nathan intends to study medicine after graduating from Ches- ter High. ‘•Nate’’ is a debater of no mean ability, as has been shown several times in debating club. For proof of the above statement, ask any of the boys who came in contact with him “Nate” can be seen arguing at all hours of the day. Plafker is one of the bright boys of our class; he is especially bright in history. C. H. S. will lose one of its best scholars when Nathan leaves its portals of learning. There was once a boy named “Nate,” Who said he did not fear fate. But when he meets a girl Who looks like a pearl. He will not say a thing to his mate. “Skillie” “Mirth, with thee I mean to live. There’s a bunch of girls in the hall laughing heartily. We wonder why. Yes, .Skillie is there; she has Just told them a joke. There’s never a place lacking fun when Skillie is near. But Mildred has more to do than amuse others. She takes part in the activities of the class and she has a good standing in her studies. Mildred also has dramatic ability, which she has displayed on various occasions. On leaving II. S.. Skillie expects to go on to some higher institution of learning.

She doesn’t say much, but you never can tell what these quiet people are thinking. It’s easy for Alice to get high marks in history, but we suspect that she burns the midnight oil.

She studies so much O’er English and history And shorthand and such. + 90 OUR 192 2 ANNUAL + MARGARET COTTON WITSIL “Peg” “Peg” entered Chester High School from Dewey Gram- m:ir School in 1919. Ever since she has been in High School, the three things she has liked most are studying, studying, studying. Margaret has been president of the class, and presi- dent of the Junior Social Service group. Margaret does every- thing well, and her work is always done on time. Do not think that “Peg” is silent and studious all the time; quite the opposite. When “Peg” is not studying, she is the fun of the crowd, and her laugh can be heard for miles (?) around. She studies and studies. When she is in school; But when it lets out. She is gay as a rule. + ’+ 91 OFFICERS Clyde Roth fuss ........ Ella Lee ............... Freda Garrison .........

Junior Class History DEAR the middle of September, 1919, the portals of Chester High School were opened to witness the entrance of the largest class that had till that time entered the school. By October the class found enough courage to organize under Miss Heaney’s super- vision. Officers for this year were: Leroy Shakleton. president; Weston Stelle, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Spencer, secretary; Clyde Yar- nall, treasurer; Kathryn Corbett, girls cheer- leader; Paul Yost, boys’ cheerleader. As Freshmen, Twenty-three made a sorrowful showing in football, having only one member, Christopher Crook, gain a berth on the scrub team; but still there was hope for other activi- ties. Fine material for basketball was pre- pared. due to Mr. Crippen’s coaching. Our base- ball team presented excellent material and due to this won many games. Francis McLaughlin, our distance runner, won the official “C” fo track. The last undertaking was made socially when on May 14, our class entertained the public with the Schumann (lice Club from Philadelphia. +-------------------------------------------------- In September, 1920, Twenty-three came back as Sophomores to C.

As Sophomores. Twenty-three became prom- inent in athletics. Christopher Crook. Crosby Black, and Morton Stowe won the official “C” for football. Many of our members were also on the scrub team. Donald Kriebel played on the major basketball team, thereby winning the official “C.” The class 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. Twenty-three took an interest in social events and held two class parties during this year.

We found as Juniors much more was ex- pected of us in our studies; so much midnight oil was spent, especially in preparation for de- bates. Our class had a boys’ and a girls’ debat- ing team. In the social arena we took an active part and conducted the customary Junior dance, which was a marked success. We were next in- terested in our class rings, and after much dis- cussion we secured a ring, which met the ap- proval of all. Up until the time of writing, this class has shown great ability in athletics. Such men as Crook, our next year’s captain, Stowe, and Mul- len, have proved bright lights in football; many other men have rendered great service as subs. In basketball, Hanley, Kriebel and Crook have greatly aided the team. With the opening of the baseball season, Twenty-three will have a fine amount of material to offer. Samuel War- ren, our only member on the major team who won the official “C” in his Sophomore year, is ready for the grand opening. The girls also have had better results in basketball this year, and many proved this by co-operation with the major team. At this time we are looking forward to many interests, one being a class party, and the other the Junior Recital of the Purple and Gold. This completes the history of an enjoyable three years’ career in dear old C. H. S. Next year we shall return as Seniors bound to do or die for the honor and glory of our Alma Mater. Evelyn F.

Sophomore Class History HO is lie, the one of haughty mien and proprietor-like air, he who casts dis- dainful glances upon humble Freshmen , he who knows that he is flared? Respected Se- nior? Not quite! Junior? Never! Sophomore? Right! This is merely our way of expressing the various feelings we possessed as we came back to Chester High School, early in September, 1921. We immediately proceeded to reorganize the class, under the watchful eye of Mr. Krcll, our faculty representative. Naturally, one of the most important means of doing this is the elec- tion of officers. We chose for president, Herbert Hayes; vice-president, Margaret Haney; secre- tary, Mary Thomson; treasurer, Florence Stein; boys’ cheerleader, Frank Pavlik; girls’ cheer- leader resigned; and Gerald Fadden was chosen to succeed him. Again this year, even more than last, we met with success in most of our athletic endeavors. The football team only had an unsuccessful sea- son, winning but one of the four games played. The players were: Daniel Gorman, Jack Galla- way, Antony Fairbanks, Richard Worrilow, Will- iam Hood. Kdwin Van Deusen, Ray Burke. Jack Stoop. Malcalm Petrikin, Russell Knoir, James Burn, George Hay, Herbert Hayes. It was a far different story in basketball. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams were very sue-’ cessful. The boys won eight of the twelve games played. They were undefeated by any Sopho- more team in Delaware County. The boys who played on the team are: Holmes Seamen, James Dunn, Malcalm Petrikin, Herbert Hayes, How- ard Fishman, Horace Doll, Sal Saltzman, Sey- mour Adelman. The team rolled up a total of two hundred and eighty-one points against the sum of two hundred and fifty of their opponents. The girls’ team, which has never been beaten 99 OUR 1922 ANNUAL.

We feel sure that, during this time, every mem- ber of the class has enjoyed and profited by it. Now, we can only wait and anticipate next year, when we shall he Juniors, probably the most im- portant year of our high school career.

We had come from a small world of children, to a large world of young men and women. After we had settled into the routine of school work, we began to organize the class. The officers elected wore: President, Russel Patterson; vice- president, Agnes Goman; secretary, Roland Har- rison; treasurer, Donald Baxter. After our class was organized, we could have many good times. The boys formed a baseball team and played a number of games. In June we had a class picnic, which afforded much fun. A notable thing about our class is that wc are the first February group since 1910, which had no debt at the end of the term. Instead wc had fifty dollars left in the treasury. During the second semester basketball teams were organized for both boys and girls. Both teams had fairly successful seasons, considering the amount of practice they were able to get. The class also finally decided on red and blue as class colors. At Hallowe’en wc had a masked party. Mr. Rennie, Miss Pancoast. Miss Birtwelb Miss Wag- ner and Mr. Crippen were present. We played many games and danced to the music of the Chester “Jazz” Orchestra. After unmasking we had refreshments in the cafeteria. The first thing we did as Sophomores, was to elect new officers: President, Roland Harrison; vice-president, Samuel Taylor; secretary. Evelyn Young; treasurer, Donald Baxter; Spectrum rep- resentative, Russell Patterson; historian, Doro- thea Tetlow. Both the boys and the girls have formed clubs to promote comradeship. The boys have had a Ladies’ Night,” and the girls are going to give “Gentlemen’s Night” soon. We are planning many picnics, outings and parties. We all hope that we shall always have as good times in school as we have already had. We are now entering into the spirit of Chester High School, and beginning to love it dearly. 1 )OROT 11 EA TETLOW. istOliatl. 103 OFFICERS Samuel Phillips .................

Freshmen Class History XT was in early September, 1921, a bright sun-shinv day; in fact, it was just the kind of day suitable for newcomers. On this day we, the Class of '25. first entered Chester High School as meek and timid Fresh- men. After a month or so the “I am a Freshman” look wore off, and we soon found the upper classmen were not so dignified as we had ex- pected them to be. During the month of October the organiza- tion of the class took place; and then we were off on a four years’ voyage over rough seas, made dangerous by the U’s that are within the land of graduation. To guide us on this voyage we elected as officers, Samuel Phillips, president; Kenneth Fitzsimmons, vice-president; Valentine Stahoski, secretary; Elinor Cox, treasurer. In November, our Freshmen reception was held. The walls and black-boards were covered with wonderful drawings and specimens of class work done by the pupils. The exhibition was inspected by the parents of the Freshmen. An interesting program was presented by the Senior Class, which was enjoyed by all who attended. This reception brought the teachers, parents, and pupils in closer touch with one another. Fur- thermore it gave our parents an opportunity to meet our principal, Mr. Rennie. In athletics the Freshmen class ranks fairly well. We had a footbal team, but were not very successful in winning games. One of the Fresh- man boys, Francis Curry, secured a place on the major football team. The Freshmen also had a basketball team, managed by Robert Stewart. We are now or- ganizing a baseball team, managed by Jesse Hueston, and we hope we shall be more success- ful in this sport, than in the others. We have most of our course still before us, in which to develop strength in all school activi- ties—not in athletics alone, but in class work, in music, and in social organizations.

During our Freshman year, we were not or- ganized separately, hut were represented in the Freshman class by Marie Keelv, who was the Freshman class treasurer. Upon returning to Chester High in the fall of ’21, we had a class meeting for the purpose of organization. At this meeting the following were elected to guide us through our trials and tribulations of the year: President—Hannah M. Christie. Vice-president—Marie L. Keeley. Secretary and treasurer—Myrtle A.

Our chaperons, Miss Sarah Coch- rane, Miss Morrow and Miss Werner, pro- nounced it a success, socially. In February our patience was rewarded by the arrival of our class rings. In March we received our class pennants, which proved to be very satisfactory to all. We were unable to have a class basketball team, but were represented on the Freshman and Sophomore teams by Marie Keeley, and on the varsity team bv Hannah Christie. In the boys’ basketball. Holmes Seaman was captain of the Sophomore team. We wish to express our sincerest gratitude to Mr. Rennie, and the rest of our commercial faculty, for their kind guidance during the year. Hannah M.

Dramatic Society HE season of 1921-1922 lias been a very successful one for the Dramatic Society. The membership has been larger than ever before. At the December meeting Mr. Russell Hood, a graduate of Chester High School, gave an in- teresting illustrated talk on “Make-Up.” The Florist’s Shop,” by Winifred Hawk- ridge. given by members of the Dramatic Society, was the entertaining feature of the Senior Re- ception. At Christmas the Society had charge of the program. At this time, they presented An Adaption of Dickon’s Christmas Carol.” by Ben Hare. At subsequent meetings we had an excellent talk on “High School Dramatics,” by Charles Kessler; also several one-act plays; such as. A Pair of Lunatics,” by Walker; “Spreading the News,” by Lady Gregory, directed by Margaret Craig and Madeline Ferguson; “A Saturday Morning In An Office,” by Rollinson, directed by Louise Cox, and “The Turtle Dove,” by Oliver. The Society expects to present “Clarence,” by Booth Tarkington. as the play for the Dra- matic Evening. Much of the success of this year’s work is due to the kind assistance and guidance of Miss Doyle and Miss Barnet. We wish to thank them and any one else who has in any way helped to make this season a successful one, and we sin- cerely wish greater success to all succeeding Dra- matic Societies. M. Uff. + 117 OUR 1922 ANNUAL. Debating Society HE Debating Society started the work for the year of 1921-22 by meeting in Room 10 on November 28. The pur- pose of the meeting was for organization, and the following officers were elected: President. Haines Pullen; vice-president, Charles Kessler; secretary. Dolores Rosenblatt. Throughout the year, Miss Williams, who is in charge of the Society, gave short, instructive talks on debating. It was at her suggestion that at several meetings we held extemporaneous de- bates in which all the members of the Society were privileged to take part. Debates between the classes, with teams com- posed of either girls or boys, were frequently held before the society. These debates were both interesting and instructive and the judges were chosen from the Senior members of the society. More than eight such debates were held during the year and several inter-class debates were held before the Literary Society. The February graduation left the Society without a vice-president and a secretary. So at the meeting on January 19 an election was held Kirk Barrowclough being elected vice-president and Alice Lockman, secretary. Although the membership to the Debating Society is limited to Juniors and Seniors and is not compulsory, the Society has grown quite large. At each meeting new names were added to the lists until there were one hundred and three members. This is the largest number of members a De- bating Society in Chester High School has ever had. •i—• 118 ■+ Alice M.

( Wilbur Kriebel Presidents } Frank Gmjsco Vice-President—Arthur Mergy Secretary—Thelma Robertson HR Literary Society, this year, had a very successful season. The programs were more interesting than in previous years, because of their great variety. The so- ciety was fortunate in having for its presidents, Wilbur Kriebel, who graduated in February, and Frank Grieco, each of whom did his utmost to make the meetings a success. It has been the custom for several years for Literary Society to introduce “Better Speech Week.” This year the program was especially interesting and was enjoyed by everyone. At Christmas a playlet of an old-fashioned English Christmas, based on the Christmas sketches of Washington Irving, George Wither, and other poets, was given. This playlet was +—----------------------------------------------— arranged by Miss Williams. It was carried off in a most excellent manner and was heartily enjoyed by the audience. At our next meeting. Reverend Gladstone Holm, of Madison Street M. E. Church, gave a very interesting address on “The Bible As Liter- ature.” A series of very interesting debates between the 12B’s and llB’s have been started. The so- ciety has profited by the viewpoints given by both sides. In closing, this year’s officers wish to thank anyone who helped to make the society a success and also to extend their best wishes to every succeeding Literary Society.

Grasty, ’22 Vice-President, Cleo Hill, Feb., 23 Secretary-Treasurer, Arthur Pryor, ’23 HE most important new organization of Chester High School, formed during the school term of 1921-22, is without doubt The Dunbar Literary Club. On Thursday, February lb. 1922. Mr. Rennie asked the colored pupils to form an organization which would give the colored girls and boys a better opportunity to develop their ability in public speaking, music, and dramatics, and, at the same time, so interest them as to keep a greater number in school. Mr. Rennie carefully explained that the club was not intended as a mode of segregation, but the colored children still retain their membership in the Literary So- ciety and other school organizations in which a few have become active. The pupils, especially those of the upper class, +------ ------------------------------------------ were indeed glad to have such an organization. A president, vice-president and secretary-treas- urer were elected. The present members of the Advisory Board are: Mattie Kelly, Catharine Brown, Beatrice Hughes, Viola Fontaine, Mary Paige, Xazalc Flakes, all the officers, and three faculty representatives, Miss Caldwell, Mrs. Hall and Mr. Gates. The constitution of the club was adopted April 10; it provides for an Advisory Board, which shall consist of the officers, a member from the Sophomore and Freshman class, and three members of the faculty, who shall be elected by the Advisory Board. The constitution is effective in the fall of 1922. The meetings of The Dunbar Literary Club are held every month on Monday after chapel. 120 +-------------------------------------------- b OUR 1922 ANNUAL. The Dunbar Literary Club All colored children arc members. The first meeting after organization was held, Thursday, February 23, and there have been two meetings since then. Programs were presented each time, but were necessarily short on account of lack of time. It is hoped that by next year a full period will be given to the Dunbar Literary Club. The club is not only of vital importance to the colored student body, but also to Chester High School. The Dunbar Literary Club is the only or- ganization of colored children in the history of Chester High School. With the proper spirit shown by its members and the entire school, it should in time bring increased honor and respect to Chester High School and to the city at large. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Miss Caldwell, Mrs. Hall, Mr. Gates, and all others who have helped by their advice and activity to bring The Dunbar Literary Club through the critical period of its infancy. To the succeeding officers and members, we wish greater success than has attended the pass- ing officers. Let “School Spirit” be a slogan which will make the meetings more enthusiastic and which will give the members a closer relation to our Alma Mater. The program presented March 13 was as follows: French solo—“Chamsons Lcs Amours de Jeanne et Jean”....................Viola Fontaine Reading—“Protest”.... Paul Lawrence Dunbar Cleo Hill Violin solo ...... “Blumenlied’s Flower Song” George Brown Vocal solo...............“Mighty Lak’ a Rose” Anna Elbert Beatrice Hughes and Catharine Brown, accompanists.

The following officers were elected: Edna Roth- fuss, president; Ethel Deakyne, first vice-presi- dent; Margaret Twolt ridge, second vice-presi- dent; Sara Elliott, treasurer; Esther Howard, secretary. The society varied its usual plan by having a formal installation of officers at the meeting held October 28. After the installation, Dr. Wagner made an address on the topic, The («iris’ Social Service Society.” A Bazaar and Doll Show was held December 9. in which all the sub-organizations participated. The net proceeds of these combined efforts were $287.44. The various sub-organizations spread Christ- mas cheer among the city’s needy by providing baskets of food and other necessities. At the March meeting. Mrs. S. B. Luckie de- livered an interesting address on the topic. “Ideals.” The officers of the sub-organizations were a3 follows: February, ’22—President, Geraldine Clark; vice-president, Emily Lombard; secretary and treasurer.

The officers for the year were: President, Anna Coombes; vice-president, Florence Speed; secretary, Antonio Micocci; treasurer. Philip Dprfman. The meetings were held on the third Monday in the month. Small, though interest- ing. programs were presented. These were gen- erally in charge of our very active little presi- dent. and occasionally, a group of members. The meetings were remunerative both in pleasure and profit. Our sincere wish is that in the future more and more students will become actively interested in the club. In closing, the club wishes to express to Miss Hepworth its ap- preciation for her generous assistance through- out the year. A more genial and generous friend, both in time and personality, we could not have hoped for. Antonio Micocci, Secretary. HOLLOWING the example of the former Senior Class, the Class of '22 has re- organized the Latin Club and tried to make it one of the permanent activities of Ches- ter High School. The club was organized under the direction of Mr. Miller, the present head of the Latin Department, in December, with the following of- ficers: President, Margaret Craig; vice-presi- dent, Joseph Cabots; secretary, Anna J. Baxter; chairman of the Entertainment Committee, An- drew Palmer. At the request of Miss Pancoast, the Sopho- more and Freshman classes were represented on the Entertainment Committee. This action se- cured a greater interest in the club from these two classes. We feel that this has been a wise action, for it prepares the younger classes to take the places of those who leave. As we leave Chester High School, we hope that this Club will continue to improve and soon become indispensable to the Latin course. JUNIOR, GIRLS' GLEE OUR 1922 ANNUAL. Girls' Junior Glee Club HIS club was organized during the school term of 1918-19 and was con- tinued through till 1922. March 10. 1922. they gave several selections for the oratorical contest which were the “Japan- ese Love Song” and “The Blue Bird,” in which Chester won one prize and tied for another. On April 7. the Glee Club sang in a concert with the combined Glee Clubs of the school. The following officers were elected at the first of the year: Mildred Goman, president; Anne Carter, vice-president, and Gladys Lowell, secre- tary and treasurer. The girls of the club wish to thank Miss Ross for her helpful advice and untiring efforts in making the club a success. Gladys I owell, Secretary. The Girls’ Choral Club HE first meeting of the Girls’ Choral Club was held October 15, 1922. The following officers were elected for the year, 1921-1922: President, Emily Lombard; first vice-president. Elizabeth Hunter; second vice-president, Mildred Connell; secretary and treasurer, Elizabeth Loveland. When the Feb- ruary Class of 1922 graduated, the first vice- president became president and the second vice- president became first vice-president. The Girls’ Choral Club meets every Wednes- day morning in the music room. They have done splendid work in their study of Pan on a Sum- mer s Day,” by Paul Bliss, which they expect to give later in the year. The girls also will give selections during music week. +----------------■------------—-------------------—-------------------------------------------------—--------------------------------------------------------1 126 GIKLS' CHOPxAL .

INSTKUMENTALS HE High School Orchestra is an or- ganization which comes before the school more than any other club. Its daily task is to play before the school every morning, helping with the singing, and playing a march while the school makes its exit. They fill this duty to the pleasure of all. Miss Lillian Ross, director of music, is instructor. Many public affairs in the High School are adorned by the presence of this well-drilled or- chestra. They usually open and close all affairs. This orchestra is divided into three distinct parts. The orchestra proper, the instrumental, and the quartette. The work of the orchestra proper has alread been described. The instrumental consists of the pick of the orchestra. It functions only in conjunction with the Boys’ (dec Club. In a public performance of the Boys’ Glee Club they will play three different selections. The quartette is composed of the four lead- ing violinists of the school. They perform only on special occasions. During this school year they have played before the school, at the Teach- ers’ Institute, and they expect to play on the night of the Boys’ (dee.

The Spec- trum, our monthly publication, reached its greatest expansion. This was due to the very able leadership of Ralph Sorkenn, the efficient editor, and to the hard work of the steadily plodding advertising manager. Phinnes Wittenberg. Several new departments have been added during the past year. The faculty department has presented photographs and news articles of the teachers; contests have stimulated interest; and the alumni department in the capable hands of Morris Abrams, has attracted great attention throughout the city by featuring stories of the great men who acknowledge Chester High School as their Alma Mater. In spite of the severe depression in business, our advertisers have continued their patronage and so . have enabled us to hold our own. We hope that the new editorial staft will carry for- ward the good work.

INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY HE Industrial Society was formed by the Industrial Class of 1921. The pur- pose of the society is to further the knowledge of industrial science and to develop pleasant social relations between the boys and the faculty. The officers elected for the first year were: President, Herbert Malaney; vice-president, Clifford Miller; secretary, Warren Walls; treas- urer, Ellwood Grander. During the first year the society brought to the school a representative of the Cleveland Twist Drill Company. Moving pictures of the making of a drill were shown during his lecture. At the June meeting the officers elected for the year, 1921-22, were: President, Robert Wil- cox: vice-president, David Rosenblatt; secretary. Ralph Stone; treasurer, Robert Beadle. This year we have had a speaker at every meeting, including: Mr. Barrett, general fore- man of apprentices at the Westinghouse Com- pany; Mr. Carey, superintendent of industrial education at the Westinghouse Company; Mr. Glauser, of the Delaware County Trust Com- pany; Mr. Mason, service manager of the Sun A-----.-----.--.-------,--„--------,--------------- Shipbuilding Company, and Mr. Crippen, of Chester High School. Friday. February 17. 1922, was the big night of the year for the industrial boys. The first annual social night was held on that date. The entertainment of the evening was a minstrel show given by the boys of the society. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria, after which dancing was enjoyed in the music room. This winter a new gas forge has been in- stalled in the machine shop. It is the latest in design and greatly broadens the scope of work that can be conducted in the shop. The installa- tion of this machine puts the Chester High School shops on a par with the best school shops in Pennsylvania. The faculty of the Industrial Course extends a cordial invitation to everyone to inspect these shops. The graduates of the Industrial Course have formed an Alumni Association. They meet once a month for a good social time. Membership is open to all former members or graduates of the Industrial Course. —— • 11 ir ■ ■■ ■■ � —«—••—.— 4 136 INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OUR 1922 ANNUAL. BOYS' ATHLETICS T the beginning of the school term of 1921-1922, the Boys’ Athletic Associa- tion of Chester High School entered upon one of the most successful years, both ath- letically and financially. The athletes of this school are looking for- ward to a clean-up of all county championships. Having won the football championship and hold- ing a joint claim on the basketball title, we have a first-class track team and a veteran baseball nine to finish up the job. Owing to the conditions of the time, the membership of the association came to about two hundred and fifty, including alumni and fac- ulty subscribers. The Smedley Field has been put into first- class condition for football and baseball. The addition of the track which will come in the near future will make it one of the finest athletic fields in this section. +-------------------------------------------------- When will Chester High School get a gym- nasium? If this question has been asked once, it has been asked a thousand times. It is i severe holdback to the pupils of this school, wiio cannot afford the expense of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and lack the pleasure of a good physical education, which could be obtained if we had a gym. to which every pupil was as- signed a certain number of hours per week. It would make a great improvement in the stu- dents of Chester High School. Until a track is put into the Smedley Field, the members of the track team must go for prac- tice to the track field, which Swarthmore Colleg has been kind enough to loan us. This causes many inconveniences to the track athletes, and until these two defects can be remedied Chester High School will not produce the very best type of athletes. 138 BASEBALL REVIEW HE sports in Chester High School for this vear have been verv successful. C)' I his is due to the fact, that for a coach, we have a man who is an advocate of clean sports, and a fellow who holds the respect of every boy in the school. This man is Charles Larkin, a member of the Class of ’17, and a three- letter man at Swarthmore. Although just commencing with the baseball schedule, the team has shown its worth. Of twelve games played, Chester has won twelve, giving her a clear slate, up to the writing of this article. At the rate of travel of the baseball team, Chester should go through the season without a defeat. If this is accomplished, it will mean that we are the “Champions of Delaware Coun- ty,” and perhaps, greater. Up to the present time we have beaten teams from Delaware, New Jersey, Philadelphia Coun- ty, Chester County, Delaware County, Mont- gomery County, and we expect to do the same with teams representing other districts. The victories for Chester were all by big scores. The season was opened with Southern 13S OUR 1922 ANNUAL. BASEBALL REVIEW High School. We defeated them by the score of 11 to 1. The next in order were as follows: Abington High, 20 to 3; Pennsgrovc, 7 to 6: Coatesville, 7 to 1: Darby, 10 to 5; Pottstown, 10 to 2; Swarthmore College Reserves, 6 to 3; Salesianum. 3 to 1; West Chester, 11 to 1: La Salle. 11 to 0; Camden, 18 to 12; Wilmington, 6 to 5. At this point a few words about the different players would be appropriate. Captain Leon P. Brick is the first to take into consideration. He lias played the initial sack for High School since a freshman. This is enough to show his playing prowess. Alfred Buono is his little playmate. Alfred also made the team as a freshman. Be- sides this, Alfred can boast of being a three- letter man. and having had the captaincy of a successful basketball team. John De Farge and John Hock are now enjoying their third year. They, with Jack Mullen as a receiver, complete the infield. The outfield, consisting of Samuel Warren, Henry Nacrelli and Bartram Vance, know no equals. Pierce and McFadden, our pitchers, although playing for their Alma Mater for the first time, are not behind any of the veterans for worth. Each has turned in five games in victories.

We defeated Wilmington, our old-time rivals, to the tune of 13-6, which all goes to show what a successful season we had. We owe much to our coach, “Pard” Larkin, for our success this year. “Pard” injected into the team some of his pep and once again Chester High put over a good rec- ord. Cy. Crooks played a star game at center. George Rightmyer and Jack Miller shared the honors at quarter. Fuzz De Farge and Heiny Xacrelli starred at half. Fuzzy was forced to retire after the Wilming- ton game because of a broken col- lar-bone, which he had received. Babe Buono, the boy with the edu- cated toe. romped down the field for several touchdowns. This all-star back field combined with the bull- dog charges and defense of the line, ran up a total of 76 points to our opponents’ 48. winning five games,, tying two and losing one. Stowe, 1. e.

The team played twenty- two games, and of that number they won eleven and lost eleven. One week after the termination of the football season, the call was sounded for candidates. A large number responded, among these being four of last year’s team: “Babe” Buono. captain; “Walt” Coppock, Hose” Hueston, and “Pat Hanley. Using these men as a nucleus to build a team. Coach Darkin soon had a speedy combination, consisting of Captain Buono. Coppock and Pullen, forwards; Hock and Vance, centers, and Hueston. Crooks and Hanley, guards. The team started off in great shape, winning from Kennett Square. 42-26, and defeating Brown Prep, by the decisive score of 55-19. Then Camden handed Chester High her first defeat. 34-28. The next two games were heart-breakers, for the Chester team lost to Salesianum, 40-38. and to Swarthmore Prep., 20-18. Our losing streak, which had reached three, was broken, at the expense of Darby, Chester defeating them. 36-32. Then Chester lost the hardest game of the season to l pi er Darby. Chester was behind in the first half. 15-3; but the old fight that has characterized the C. H. S. teams came to the front, and when the whistle hew, ending the regulation 40-minute period, the score was deadlocked at 22 all. In the five-minute extra period, Upper Darby caged two field goals and a foul, while the best we could do was to obtain a foul. Score at the five-minute extra period: I’pper Darby, 27; Chester. 23. Media was easy for Chester, the County Seaters being on the short end of a 36-23 score. Now came the first Wilmington game. It took a strong basketball enthusiast to withstand an attack of nervous breakdown after witnessing a game .ike that one. Wilmington led at half time by the score. 13-12. In the second half, the score see- sawed. but when the final whistle sounded. Chester rooters went away with a smile, _for their favorite team had triumphed over their time-honored rivals by the score. 38-37. Following this, the team had mediocre success, losing to Darby, 11-19; to the Alumni. 40-30, and to Camden. 48-25, but getting sweet revenge on Upper Darby, taking them into camp to the tune of 26-20. Next Coatesville administered a defeat. 27-25, but we swamped Swarthmore. We then won from Moorestown, 54-33. and from Media. 31-14. Our last game of the season was lost to Wilmington. 19-14. Next season we hope to make a much better showing. More material is needed, as we lose Buono. Coppock and Hueston by graduation. Above everything else, Chester High is in need of a gymnasium, for without this, the teams cannot secure sufficient practice. Remember our aim for next year—a clean record with no defeats. DUNCAN HATTON. Manager. OUR 192 2 ANNUAL. + Track C. Haines W. Pullen, Manager Frank I). Grieco, Captain Charles Larkin, Coach track team is looking M forward to a prosperous season this spring, due to the fact that it has not lost many valuable men, but has had several promising additions during the present year. To be a track man requires hard and strenuous individual work. There is no other athletic sport which depends so much on the in- dividual as track work. People marvel at the speed and tactfulness exhibited, but do not realize the rigorous training, beginning in March and continuing throughout the season, that is the secret of such prowess. Our team de- serves credit for the showing it made in the vari- ous meets of last year, and much credit should be given to our successful Relay Team, composed, of Grieco, Vance, Crawford and Sheldrake. Mc- Laughlin also ran on the relay team. Sheldrake +•----------——---------—------------------ is the only man of our relay team that is lost to us this year and with last year’s men in Grieco, Vance, McLaughlin, Fisher and Dunbar, and the experience gained we should make as good if not a better showing this year.

It was a pretty good one. too, in spite of those perverse little, bad-luck imps that left us stranded dry several times on the slim end of “just one basket” score. On the games played so far we have won as many as we have lost and have far exceeded our opponents in the total number of baskets scored, since the games lost have been close enough to keep the spectators chewing their nails with excitement.

When the February class came over from Larkin, they brought young “Midge” Sykes, who, although a brand-new Freshman, played the position of guard in several games with much credit to her- self and the team. We wish also to acknowledge the loyalty of Adeline Buono (oh, yet. we have a second “Babe” in our midst) and Helen Smith, who served us as “subs.” Since practically the whole team belongs to the present Senior class, there will be next year an opportunity for the members of the second team to win a great, big. golden “C.” We wish them all the luck in the world, and we leave with them the mission of showing our neighbors, near and far that: “It’s the team that wears the orange, Who’ll be counting up the score; So give three cheers for Chester High School, For they’ve won the game once more.” The schedule is as follows: January 11 —Darby ...

Once again it is through the liberal aid and support of the business men of Chester and vicinity that it is possible for us, the class of 1922, to publish this Annual. Although the business of Chester this past year was not up to the usual standard, you, the business men, gave just as good support as in former years. You showed your civic pride by supporting the greatest activity of your town’s high school. That is all that could have been expected of you. Therefore, on behalf of the Class of 1922, I take this opportunity formally to thank every business man of Chester and vicinity whose advertisement appears on the pages of the Chester High School 1922 Annual. I also wish to thank all the classes, clubs, and all other organisa- tions whose financial help has made the 1922 Annual a reality. I take this opportunity to wish the Advertising Staff of the 1923 Annual just even greater success than the Advertising Staff of the 1922 Annual has enjoved.

ALL KINDS OF PRINTING TO BELIEVE in something with all your heart—to be entirely without fear of obstacles, courageous in the face of envy and smiling at defeat until it turns to victory—that is faith. If you have faith in your ability to win through saving, you will win. If you have the backbone to deny yourself the little luxuries you do not really need, you will have the where-with-all to provide for, and be independent in old age. Thousands here have just this faith in themselves, and have provided—are providing still—for the necessities of those years to come. Save as you earn. THE PENNSYLVANIA NATIONAL BANK OF CHESTER J.

YOUR OWN MONEY There is a feeling of honest pride when you have placed in your hands that FIRST PAY ENVELOPE—with you it is the beginning of new things—one of the milestones of life—an achievement in fact—from a dependent—you have become a producer. It was a wise man who said —tell me how—and for what a man spends his earnings. I will tell you what kind of a man he is. Every young man or woman can do something with those first earned dollars that will be either a help—or a hindrance. If you would go the peace of mind route that leads to independence —then start a bank account. Make the beginning with the FIRST PAY EN- VELOPE. We pay you 3% on Savings.
