The 1929 Annual ISSUED BY THE Senior Classes OF Chester High Sehool Chester, Pennsylvania VOLUME XVI OUR ALMA MATER OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 5 FOREWORD SOON our days in Chester High School will lx but a lingering memory. During our stay within Chester’s portals, much has happened which, we hope, memory will hold for us. Before parting, the Seniors cannot attempt to publish a detailed account of the past four years. Such a history would consist of many volumes. We can hope only to leave some link by which our future may be joined with our past days in Chester High School. Such a link is this. Our 1929 Annual. In the days to come, as we muse over its pages, we hope it brings back to us the reminiscences of our high school days. It is preferred that the reader shall not consider this as “the Seniors’ Annual,” but as Our Annual, a book for the entire school, by which we may be remembered. The business men of Chester, the faculty, and the students have made this Annual possible. We wish, in closing, to express our gratitude. The Editor. OUR 1929 ANNUAL 7 Dedication AS an expression of our sincere appreciation JL V. of them as our advisers and in recognition of all they have done for us during our Chester High School days, we, the CLASS OF 1929, dedicate this, OUR ANNUAL, to FLORENCE WILLIAMS and GEORGE W.

Leah Jordan 18 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL ARTHUR ADAMS VIRGINIA ANDERSON “Jinny” The jolliest member of our class is, of course, our “Jinny.” No matter how hard times are. we can always get a smile from Virginia. As for her stu- dies, ask her how she likes Vergil. Do you remember her as the merry wife in one of the Christmas plays? I am sure, Virginia, that no one wishes you anything hut the best of luck. This quiet and retiring class mate of ours comes from Linwood. He goes about his work quietly and is seldom heard from. (Only when necessary, of course.) He chose the industrial course and has fought it to a finish. Let us join in wishing him all the suc- cess in the world. VIRGINIA APSLEY Her blonde hair and blue eyes make a picture for any artist, and when she smiles, she is still prettier. Virginia is our class secretary. Do you wonder why? She is very pleasant, and has acquired many friends. Virginia is an excellent commercial student, and will be a good secretary to someone. OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 19 ELLA BAIL ESTELLE BARKALOW WILLIAM BARTLESON Ella is one of tour charming com- mercial students. tjShe doesn’t know what she inti High Kh School, w to do after leaving and these girls who don't atching, say we; especially Ella, because her weakness is Chevro- lets, and Lillies. This dignified (?) maiden is ’Stell’ Barkalow. First a deep silence, then a loud laugh, and you know the latest joke has “popped out. ‘Stell' is every- body's friend, especially when lessons seem most hopelessly dull. We count ourselves lucky to have her numbered among our graduates. Here is “Bill”, one of the few (?) good-looking boys in our class. In class meetings, he takes a great part; at least, he usually has something un- usual to say. We’ve all been left in the dark concerning Bill’s future, but vc arc sure of his having the greatest suc- cess. especially with the ladies. 20 OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL Although Emma is one of the quiet, unassuming members of our class, she holds the office of president of the Dunbar Society. Emma is one of our budding poets; she has already writ- ten several poems, and we know that she will make us proud of her some day. Emma is also an ardent advocate of liberty for “Freemen.” EMMA BELL JACK BENTLEY Ever since Jack’s arrival in high school he has been a model upon whom awed freshmen have gazed. The sub- ject of their gaze has rightly won this privilge, for he has represented us in the three big sports for three long years. Jack has also appeared in our dramatic and musical productions, and undoubtedly will be heard from in these fields. EMMANUEL BERLANT Let me introduce you to the genius who joined our class when we were lOA’s. Although he has not excelled in his studies, he has made us exceed- ingly proud of him, because of his startling poetry. His ambition is to “make page seven in ‘Lights of Liter- ature.’ ” OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 21 HARRY BONIER Despite sundry comments as to his vaccination having been accomplished with a victrola needle. Harry rates high among our extemporaneous class room debaters. Harry is ever willing to accept either side of an argument, and drive his opponent mad with his forceful arguments. Lots of luck, Harry, and may you shine brightly as one of our future legal lights. MARGARET BORRI First you hear a lot of giggling, then a bunch of curls pops out, and Mar- garet appears on the scene. Margaret is usually giggling over something, es- pecially in stenography class, and be- fore long everyone joins in. Margaret is going to be a stenogra- pher. and we envy the lucky man. PHILIP BOSTUR “Phil” What is that rumbling sound coming up the hall ? Sounds like thunder. It’s Phil, of course. Philip came to us from Dewey School. He chose the industrial course, and has turned out to be a great pattern-maker. He cooperated at the Atlantic Steel Castings Company during the past two years. Phil, the class of ’29 wishes you success. 22 OUR 1929 ANNUAL HERBERT BELL BOULDEN Dub” He is very quiet, isn’t he? Well, even if Dub doesn’t have much to say, he surely does a lot of thinking. We wonder why he appears to like green so well? Dub” doesn’t say just what he would like to take up for his life work, but it certainly does look as if it may be undertaking. However, un- dertaking is not the only lesson taught in South Chester. Anyway, Dub, here is lots of luck. NORMA BRAM Poet, debater, musician, student— Norma Brain. Norma has been active in nearly all school organizations. She has been a valuable asset to the Debating Society, taking part in two public debates. When you sing our fine class song, you immediately recall the author, Norma Brain. Norma has offered many contribu- tions to the Spectrum, and has our best wishes in her future literary and jour- nalistic efforts. WILLIAM ELLIS BULLOCK Ellis is one of these long fellows who is always called upon in emergencies. And if you try to keep pace with those legs of his, you get there on time— and how! Ellis walks about the school with his head in the clouds: we heai rumors that he intends to become an- other Lindy. Fly high, Ellis! OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL 23 DOROTHY BURNS Dorothy is one of our studious com- mercial students. If you doubt that, you should get a glimpse of her report card. She always has her lessons pre- pared. and, unlike most girls, is very quiet. When she does talk, she is usu- ali worth hearing. Keep up your good record, Dot, and we know you will be successful in whatever you undertake. PAUL WINN Paul is bringing his high-school ca- reer to a glorious close by attaining excellent marks and retaining his popu- larity with everyone, especially the fair sex. Not since the days of Curly” Og- den have we possessed a finer pitcher than Paul, and except for a trifling in- cident at Lower Merion, he boasts a diamond record replete with victories. Continue in your present paths, and success cannot help but be yours, Paul. rmi RAYMOND W. CHATTEN “Chatty” Raymond is another of our little men who have succeeded. Raymond came to C. II. S. from Franklin School, and chose to become a machinist. He is a wonder at juggling tools. (Also his lessons, when necessary.) Chatty was manager of the varsity squad in his Senior year, and he certainly did his part. Here’s luck to you, Chatty. 24 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL SARAH CLOUD MARY COHEN RONALD YETTER “Ronny” “Reds” One of the cleverest pupils of whom our class can boasris Sarah. She is very charming 9nd most of that charm is due to her pleasant nature. We know thai her charm and good work will Hljike her successful in whatever vocMion she happens to choose. In the musical category of our class, we can place Mary at the head. She has contributed liberally to our enter- tainment throughout school life. Ev- eryone loves to see Mary’s white teeth flash when she smiles. We hope, Mary, you will have as many friends and good wishes in your later life as you have here in Chester High. Picture a flaming youth with wild red hair, and a green bow-tie, walking down the hall. Ronny, the artist, edi- tor, and joker, all in one. Ronny is the editor of “Grandpa Sez column in the Spectrum. He has achieved great pop- ularity as an artist and joker, and he is an honorary member of the art de- partment. After graduating. Ronny does not know whether he shall go to college or to art school. Well, Ronny. which ever one you enter, the class of June '29 is with you. OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 25 JAMES CRIELLY James is one of the bright students of our class. His name lias been on the honor roll several times, and this is truly an honor when one is taking four years of Latin. James is very self-conscious and blushes considerably, but he is one of the outstanding mem- bers of the debating society. The “Spectrum” has benefited greatly through James’ efforts in the advertis- ing department. HAROLD MESSICK CROWTHER Who is that tall, handsome youth? That’s Harold Crowther. the big ge- nius of the industrials. Harold same to C. H. S. from Larkin Grammar School; and started as an academic student, but later became an industrial. He has been cooperating at the Wcst- inghouse Electric Company the past two years. We wish Harold all possi- ble success. ADDIA CRUMWELL Addia is a very quiet little girl. Oh! beg pardon, our mistake. However, “Bobby” does take her work very se- riously and does it very concientiously. There is no doubt that she will make good in anything she undertakes. We have a faint suspicion that she will become a committee woman in po- litical affairs. She was always so will- ing to serve on committees in C. H. S. 26 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL EARL W. DAVIS “Sheik” This distinguished looking chap is Earl Davis. He needs no introduction to the girls. Earl came to us from Dewey School, and started in the aca- demic course, but later changed to the industrial, the change making him a member of the June ’29 class. Earl is surely some mathematical genius, espe- cially in algebra. Even Mr. Graber says so. Here’s luck to you, Earl. JAMES DEERY This strong, silent youth is an answer to a public speaking teacher’s prayer. You should hear him render Italian dialect, or see him act! Jimmy stoutly maintains he has no weakness for the fair sex. but time works many changes. Although he is not certain what his life- work will be, we know enough about him to be sure he will be a credit to June ’29. S. HARRY DUBLISKY Ahem! Attention, all ye physicers t Here we have the world’s most corpu- lent physicer. Harry excels in physics. If you don’t believe it. ask Mr. Hagy. Harry is a valuable asset of our class. He has attained the Honor Roll sev- eral times, and has a fine average in all his studies. Harry’s favorite pastime is receiving greetings from his friends. Harry wishes to be a pharmacist. There can be no doubt about his suc- cess. OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL 27 Here’s another boy that nature in- tended to be a “puella . Else why did she so endow him with the gift of gab? No statement has b en made in problems class that Ellis hasn’t chal- lenged. Argue? Why. argument is his food and drink, exposition his des- sert. and explanation his demi-tasse. Not con ent with mere originality in argumentation, he even falls on Vergil with malice aforethought and makes Neptune “bicycle over the waves”! ELLIS DWYER WAYNE EGBERT Freshmen, sophs, juniors, and even seniors must stand aside and gaze in awe at our Wayne. Among the achievements his children will boast are that he is the famed Spectrum and Annual edi'or, besides being one of our most popular classmates. Wishes of success arc futile, for everyone is confident that Wayne will ultimately “do both himself and our class proud.” PARK ELLIOTT Joy himself! Since he’s a football hero, and a universal hero, lie needs no introduction. A man’s man and ladies’ man! But how many of you know he is an old fashioned chap? Well, he is. He is fond of old songs, especially of “Seeing Nellie Home and similar ones. Park refuses to reveal his future work, but it is supposed he will be a hosiery salesman—patronizing “Berger wares, of course. However, if our hopes for him materialize. Park will succeed in anything he undertakes. 28 OUR 1929 ANNUAL WALTER FELTON AUGUSTINE FRANK FENZA “Fenzy” Augustine is another of our indus- trial students. He came from Dewey School, a small, young man. After four years he is the same, only four years older, of course. Augustine chose the industrial course and has succeeded. After you leave C. H. S.. Augustine, no matter what path you follow, we are sure of your success. Yes. it is really true,” says Walter, future electrical engineering prodigy of Lehigh University, “that I have been prominent in several ways, including Debating Society, Spectrum Hoard, and History Club—to say nothing of dra- matics and the piano keys! My pet hobby is the pipe-organ, and my out- standing ambition is to make a success in life. In conclusion, allow me to state that I am generally considered a very charming and pleasing boy, if I do say so myself. And don't forget to mention that I HAVE been known to make the Honor Roll.” ALBERT FIRTH “Al” “Firthy” A seething mixture of volcanic passion. Smouldering quietly beneath a charm- ing smile; Keeping up with the latest fashions, Very neat, polite, and innocent of guile. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 29 MARSDEN FIRTH Inscrutable as the Sphinx. To look at him, who would ever imagine that Marsden is a ladies’ man, a pugilist, a horseman, and Miss Wagner’s pride and joy? He is all this, and more. Who would suspect that his mind is seething with some plan that makes him the “life of the party”? That’s the reputation he brought hack from Washington. Add to the above the following: Marsden is a good scout and a terrible tease. Now you have a brief account of him, and you just can’t help joining in our best wishes for his future luck, can you? EMILY FLOYD If we were to have a giggling con- test, I am sure Emily would win it. Nevertheless this docs not detract from her merry personality. Emily is one of our commercial stu- dents. and some day, she will be busy “clicking the keys for her boss. We are sure she will be quite successful, for as a student she has always been first rate. BESSIE GERBER ‘Betty’ “Bets” A dignified young lady floats down the corridors: it’s “Betty!” How can we mistake this “preferred” blonde? Her good humor has kept us in a happy frame of mind for four years. She is one of our classmates who appear on the honor roll frequently. We know she will be a successful teacher, be- cause of her many good qualities. 30 OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL CDVINGTON GILES Behold the Beau Brummel of the Se- nior Class. Surely everyone has seen Covington driving his car. for this is his favorite outdoor sport. Just keep your eyes open, and you'll see him. Covington is usually very quiet, hut we advise you not to discuss his favorite subject: if you do. you will wish you had not. Covington is a very good sport, and we know his disposition will help him to he successful in his future work. MATILDA GOLDBERG Do you hear a pleasant laugh, see a pair of large, baby blue eyes, and a crowning glory of blond curls? Well, that is Matilda, one of the best liked persons in our class. She has a most charming personality; and we never tire of listening to her recite. Matilda is sure to succeed because of her willingness to work and her pleasant personality. GZGRGE COODLEY George came to us from the wilds of Boothwyn, and has proved himself an excellent student. Calm and deliberate. George remains undisturbed on all oc- casions. George has been very active as a member of the Literary. Dramatic, and Debating Societies, and if you do not hear his name read from the Honor Roll, there is some mistake. It should be there. OUR 1 92 9 ANN U A L 31 FRANK GORMAN ELIZABETH HARRISON HELEN AUGUSTA HAYES Quiet, steady, industrious,—thes a J- jectives describe Frank to objection. Although quiet, Frank accomplishes a great deal. He has kttniiVM the Honor Roll innumerable tinlw, and has an ex- cellent average iy 11 his studies. .-Wa mcinrer of the Literary, I)ra- m (yc.j wlfpAdebating Societies. Frank has 1akc n an active part. He is also a(jjiember of the circulation depart- ment of the Spectrum. Perpetually smiling, constantly jok- ing. frequently arguing, often stucUtfrtg, never quarrelling, that’s Who never fails M iss Doyle ILaJJho speaks at grammar scjhoof commencements?

Yell. vVill Rogers will soon have a tormidable rival. Helen had a little Ford, And Henry was its name; And whether Henry stalled or sped. She liked it just the same.” The dignified aspect of our fair Helen of Upland should not be mis- construed, for her favorite indoor sport is the exercise of her sense of humor. When Helen takes up her music course, we are certain that her classmates will find her as jolly a com- panion and as helpful a friend as we all have during the past four years. OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 32 IDA HESSEN H—ealthy E—arnest S—tudious S—port E—sscntial N—ice Ida came to Chester High from Mar- cus Hook Junior High School, and she has been a credit to her Alma Mater since. We know that when Ida leaves Temple and becomes a music teacher, we shall be proud to say that she was one of our classmates. NELLIE HILL Perhaps you will recall that Nellie appeared in “Fur and Warmer,” a play given at the freshman reception in Feb- ruary. For four years Nellie has been a member of history club, and now as a senior she is president of that society. She does excellent work in history class. You might think she had actually lived during the American Civil War. We hope Nellie will be as successful in college as she has been in high school. ALBERT HILLIARD “Hilly” Albert is one of those students who came to Chester High from Boothwyn. By making use of a lucky break, his high school course lasted only three years. Hilly cooperates with the Chester Fi- bre Metal Products Company as a ma- chanist's apprentice. We are sure Hilly is going to be a big success. I—interesting D—voted A—tractive OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 33 HAROLD HOUSTON Manager of basketball team (4). Stage manager, Dramatic Society, (4). Hi-Y, (4). Boys’ A. A. (2. 3. 4). History Club (3, 4). Dramatic Society (3. 4). Ahem! At last! Introducing Har- old, a well-known member of our class. Although he is not girl-shy, he main- tains a lofty indifference. He intends to follow in the footsteps of Hoover, except that he chooses civil, instead of mining engineering. The world is your oyster. Harold. Open it! JOHN HOWLEY JEANNETTE ELIZABETH INNIS John excels in every sport and has earned his C for football, basketball, and baseball. John’s greatest assets are his sports- manship, determination, and quiet manner. John has chosen Penn State as his future Alma Mater, and wc know that his career will be successful, and his friends many, not only because of his athletic ability, but also because of his admirable character and quiet manner. Jeannette has occasionally been known to refrain from a battle of wits, just to give her friends the shock of their lives. She revels in stenography and bookkeeping, while history is her ne plus ultra. And with all this scin- tillating brilliance, there arc firm and steady qualities, too, which we know that all her fellow accountants at Tem- ple will appreciate. 34 OUR 1929 ANNUAL MABEL SAWYER JACKSON LEAH JORDAN MARY ELIZABETH KOCH Is it red or is it golden? That’s the question.” But whatever it is, every- body we know likes it. Petite and dainty as they come, and every bit as genuine and sincere is our capable secretary-treasurer of Dramatic Society. Mabel’s ambitions used to center about the White House. Let us hope that, when she has graduated from West Chester and Penn State, her executive talents will lead her there in earnest. Leah, our present girls' basketball manager, “Spectrum” literary editor, class treasurer and chairman of the library club, does not need an intro- duction to anyone in our school. Her name is always on the honor roll, yet she has been an active member of our class for four years, for she has held many offices, for which she proved her- self worthy. Leah’s one weakness is books. She reads every worthwhile book that is within her reach. Our class is very proud of Leah, and we wish her the best success. KocHy Once again good BqpnT come in a small package. MAfJ Elizabeth is a star athlete, an aT forward on the Hfring played on the Freshman year, and captain in her Junior good student as well, high-school work in team. basketball varsity since li having acted year.

Bryn Mawr and we know many friends there CATHERINE KOLLOCK JANE KRINER OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 35 MARIANNE WHITLOCK A fanfare of trumpets, the clash of a cymbal, and Marianne bursts upon our unprotected gaze with all of her radi- ant personality and personal charm. Down through the ages our greatest poets have attempted to describe beau- tiful women such as she; so what can ou- l or pen do but heave a profound sigh. We can describe this vision only by saying that she looks like the pho- tograph usually entitled “After Using Cur i' . uty Cream. But we must now return to sordid things, and so we must close with a sincere desire to see Marianne again. (And how!) Catherine is one of our quiet unas- suming academic students. She is not very well known to most of us, but to those who know her she is a real friend. Catherine intends to teach af- ter she leaves high school, and we all wish her success. Jane is a latecomer from Hagerstown, Maryland, and we certainly have en- joyed this new member of our class. Just think what we would have missed if we had not seen Jane's cheery smile and received her helpful hints every day. We certainly do appreciate you. Jane, and trust you will not forget the students of Old Chester High. OUR 1929 ANNUAL 36 DAVID KUDDISH As an example of Dave’s scholastic attainments we might mention that he is a successful four-year Latin scholar, and one of the “Triumvirate” which exists in Latin class and occupies the rear seats. Dave plans to acquire a Southern drawl, and incidentally fur- ther his education, at Washington and Lee. There is no doubt hut that he will maintain his reputation for reliable character and future life industry. WILLIAM LARSON (Himself). Although William hails from Parkside, he is as bright as the color of his hair, for who but a genius can pass solid geometery without study- till the night before the exam? Willie is the weightiest boy in our class. Playing on the tennis team didn’t seem to help this condition, and it is now ru- mored he is on a diet. He intends to conquer the world as a civil engineer. MARJORIE FLORENCE MacDONALD Quiet, serene, and steady is Marjo- rie, actress, musician, and artist. Her accurate sense of balance could safely be relied upon, though the planets should fall. It is most refreshing and interesting, too, to have her about. We all hope that when West Chester has graduated our Scotch lassie, and all the world’s her oyster, she’ll find a great round pearl in it. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 37 ALICE MacLAUGHLIN EDWIN MALMED Eddie—Ed MADELINE MALOY Alice is secretary-treasurer of the Girls’ Glee, and a ver popular mem- ber of our class. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, and has a most pleasing personality, which accounts for her popularity. Alice is r. very earnest comm:r ial student, and we wish her luck in the business world. __ A curly crop of dark brown hair. Complexion neither dark nor fair. Wit flashes brightly from his lips, walking, he swings from the hips. The Dutchess in Dutch I wrote,” says he, Whenever he can corral a she; And with a gay, contagious smile, He'll tell you that lie’s quite worth while. His grace, he wilts you with a beam.

McClelland “Tut” This enlarged portion of the indus- trial course hails from Ogden. Skinny is an exception to the rule, “Good things come in small packages.” Nelson aspires to he a carpenter. We know he will make his mark. This young graduate of Franklin Grammar School came to Chester High and has been interested in sports. After working three years as assistant man- ager, he became manager of baseball in his Senior year. Tut is an industrial pattern maker. His future is undecided. We wish him luck. “Jack Jack is one of our quiet swains who came to us from the Dewey Grammar School. After leaving High School, Jack expects to enter the business world. Although interested in many things. Jack likes pets, especially kit- ties. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 39 THOMAS MITCHELL Tom Tommy Literary 2. Secretary of Boys’ A. A. Football 1. Baseball 2. ’‘Tommy” is our gladiator brave, Built more like Goliath than Dave; Talks to the girlies on the sly, And able is to make a baseball fly. A very vicious football tackle; Impatient under any shackle. HANNAH MONROE We’ll see a group of boys, and then, as they fall away, we’ll see a dainty Miss. Of course it’s Hannah. She has distinguished herself by her won- derful talent in art. Have you ever noticed her drawing pictures of vari- ous teachers? Well, it’s a treat! We are sure to hear of her in the future as a successful artist. MARIE MONROE Marie shall go down in history as an example of constancy. She forms like David or Damon, or Ruth of old, half of an eternal partnership. Marie and Mary are inseparable. Who always comes in at 8.29 with Mary? Marie. Who spends whole third periods gig- gling with Mary? Marie. Who never walks down the hall without Mary? Marie. Who never plays basketball without Mary? Marie. This isn't her only characteristic. She is as loyal to C. H. S. and ‘”29’’ as she is to Mary. 40 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANN U A L I RICHARD A. MONTGOMERY :ames k. mosser ALYCE MOSTOVOY Dick” Dick is president of the Literary Society, secretary of the Hi-Y, and one of our most outstanding debaters, be- sides having served as model for the make up committee. We know now why Dick is such a good debater, and why he argues and argues with Mr. Smithers. He is going to be a lawyer, and in the future the class of ’29 will pour all its troubles into Dick’s sym- pathetic ear. “Jimmie” This industrial student is very fond of arguing. He is never in a hurry and very seldom quiet. During his last two years in C. H. S., James cooperated with the Atlantic Steel Castings Company, and has estab- lished a good record there. Jimmie spends a great deal of his time not far from home. Whoopee! Vlil) try to pack a bouncing bubble of lnrtfR r and vivacity into a staid pho- iXigTTf fr and see how deceiving it is.

Look carefully at the youngest and one of the brightest in the class, our Girls’ A. A. president, and side-center on the basket ball team, everybody’s friend, and every- body’s pet. Here’s to Mary! May she make as successful a teacher as she docs a friend! HELEN MURASKA Don't be alarmed; Helen is not so fierce as she looks. On the contrary she is a very quiet young lady, well- liked and respected. Helen is faithful and dependable, which fits her very well for the vocation she intends to follow, that of nursing. We shall al- ways remember you. Helen, and cher- ish the lesson of your unassuming na- ture. LENA NESHNEVITZ “Lee’’ A friend in need, is a friend indeed— and that friend is “Lee”; she is always ready to assist in any way possible. Everyone is envious of her beautiful pink and white complexion, and merry blue eyes. “Lee” is very conscientious about her work, too, and so of course she gets along well. We shall always remember her as the girl without an enemy. 42 OUR 1929 ANNUAL LUCILE WILSON “Lu” Who is the demure little lass stroll' ing down the corridor? It’s Lucille, our brown-eyed class-mate. Lucille has made many friends during her stay in Chester High School, due to her pleasing personality. Wherever you may wander, Lucille, please remember the class of June, ’29. NELLIE PROVOST A vivacious young lady is Nellie Pro- vost. Wherever she is. Bill’s sure to go. All kidding aside, though, Nellie is known to everyone as a “good sport.” She hopes to be a physical education instructor, and we’re quite certain that Nellie’s sense of humor will carry her through all the hard knocks of life. DOROTHY QUANN “Dot” Dot is one of our quiet students, ex- cept when she makes a noise, and that is usually when she starts tooting her “Sax,” one of her favorite pastimes. Dorothy doesn't know what she’s going to be, but she is one of our commercial students, and we wager she’ll be “somebody’s stenog.” OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 43 WILLIAM REMORENKO Another one of our letter me ' is Bill, fie won his in soccer, at which he is very adept. We always find Bill good natured; his grin would put the most nervous person at case. Everyone who sees William’s tall figure coming down the hall, greets him with a smile; for he is liked by all. DOROTHY RENNIE “Dot” Dorothy may seem very quiet to many members of the class, but with those who know her, she is always ready to hold a jolly conversation. She is a worth-while friend. Although “Dot” has a long trip to her Alma Mater, she is always one of the first students present. Always remember, Dorothy, that you have many friends in the class of June. '29. DOROTHY WHITE “Dot” “Silence is golden” is an old proverb. Dorothy says that she doesn't believe it. and evidently she doesn’t, because she always has an unbounded supply of news to relate. Dot is very fond of history, especi- ally the Monroe Doctrine. We know that whatever the future may hold for Dot she will meet it smil- ingly. The class of '29 wishes you good luck. 44 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL JOHN S. WOODROW “Inky” RICHARD WOLESLAGLE “Dick” LOCKART SANDS Just look at this handsome young man. He is one of the most popular boys in the class, and not only that, but a mechanical wizard in the bargain. Dick came to us from Franklin Gram- mar School, and chose the industrial course. Wherever you go and whatever you do, Dick, the class of '29 is always be- hind you. Little firecrackers make a big noise. Johnny, although small, is also efficient in this respect. When and whenever there is an argument ensuing, Inky” is first heard, and after much scrutiny, discoVwed in the cent As praesident of dde Sei ior Society,' Circulation 1 Spec trimi an and Mqftns shown himsejf work. As a future laNi cr are sure John will att has success Behold one of the shining lights of our class. Lockhart is usually around when things of importance are happen- ing, and although he doesn’t make much noise, we can count on him to accomp- lish successfully whatever he under- takes. When Lockhart becomes a fa- mous accountant, we’re sure he won’t forget the class of June ’29. OUR 1929 ANNUAL 45 ELEANOR JACQUELINE SCHIECK Eleanor expects to attend West Chester State Teachers' College after graduation and although we can’t pic- ture her as so dignified as a school- tnar’m just now, she's sure to make a success of it. Eleanor played on the varsity hockey team this year. and. all said, has proved a friend and classmate worth having. SAMUEL SHAROV A studious, good-natured fellow is Samuel Sharov. You may be sure that on all occasions, lie’s all there”, ready to lend a helping hand when needed. Whatever else he may be, Sam is not lazy, for he can be seen quite often with a pile of books. In any undertaking. Sam, you can always rely on the class of 29 to give you their loyal support. MARY SHOEMAKER Have you ever seen a tall, dark- haired maiden, very demure, strolling around school? If so, it probably was Mary. Mary is quiet, but so gracious in manner that everyone likes her. We don't know what Mary intends to do in the future, but we’re sure she will make her mark in the profession that is fortunate enough to claim her, even though she has her ups and Downes.” 46 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL IDA SINGLETON EDWARD SMITH JOHNSON SMITH After each exam she wails, “I flunk- ed it. And the funny part is that she expects everybody to believe her. Ida’s integrity and cheerfulness have won for her many friends in C. H. S. We know that her future will be bright and successful, as evidenced by her work in school and outside. Our best wishes to you. Ida. Stand back! Don’t crowd too close- ly This answer to a maiden’s prayer is our well known Edward. Who is not familiar with his smiling face? And now we'll tell you a secret: Edwin blushes when the name of a certain girl from Nebraska is mentioned! Xever mind. We may laugh, but per- haps we’re just jealous. Edward will take his place in the workaday world as an accountant. Johnson has a number of excellent qualities, but his outstanding asset is speed,—both in getting there, and in doing the thing after he gets there. This applies especially to physics. Yes, and he is efficient, too! Since he is one who knows that he knows, respect him. Johnson is not sure of his life work, but looks favorably on forestry and chemistry. We are sure Johnson will succeed in either field. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 47 SARAH SUGARMAN KATHARINE TALBOT “Skee” “Zita” HARRY C. TAYLOR “Murph” Here is a little lady that everyone likes. Sarah is most ambitious, and is even a piano teacher now. She has many plans in view, and we wish her luck in all her undertakings. Perhaps some day we shall point to Sarah with pride, and say, “She comes from my lma Mater’.” Katharine is one of the popular young ladies of our class. She is a good sport and a jolly companion. Katharine’s main weakness seems to be for raccoon coats. How she loves to ride in a certain Buick. I may add that it isn’t very hard to con Vince” Katharine, if you know what I mean. This smiling lad hails from Marcus Hook. Murph is a favorite among his pals because of his ever present smile. Upon leaving Chester High, Harry intends to continue his education; but he is undecided as to what line. Harry’s favorite saying is “She’s a good kid; and I like her.” 48 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL LYDIA TERESHENKO Who is the girl with a twinkle in her eyes, and a ready smile for everyone ? That's our Lydia, who has helped to make our stay in C. H. S. a brighter one. When things get dull, we can always count on Lydia, and we hope that her career in the business world will be as enjoyable as her stay in Chester High. CATHERINE WATSON Now we have the pleasure of intro- ducing you to one of our most beloved classmates. This demure young lady always knows her lessons: that is. most of them, and is not quite so obtrusive as her sister. Her cheerful nature has endeared her to us all. We offer a toast to your happiness and success, Catherine. Drink deep, classmates! DOROTHY WATSON This clever, attractive girl has “Winn” -ing ways and many friends. Dorothy joined us as a sophomore, and we are glad to include her with our class. She attends all athletic games and is quite a dancer. Dorothy is studying to become a teacher, for which she is well suited. Here's luck to you. Dot. OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL 49 HERBERT WEAVER Herbert! Highest honors scholar! Orator! Debater! A miracle in Latin and Math.! That’s Herbert. He be- lieves in “facta non verba”, and we sit back, and watch him be an honor to us. We expect to hear from him in the future, and we’re waiting intently to see what higher credit he brings Chester High. Besides being a woman- hater. he likes astrology. Now doesn't that prove beyond a doubt that Her- bert’s no mere mortal? MARGARET WELSH Margaret is known for her beautiful auburn hair. We are proud to have such an asset to our class. Although Margaret is very quiet during school hours, you should hear the sudden out- burst at two-thirty. The class wishes you the best of luck, Margaret. MINNIE WESLEY “Dimples” Minnie has been very industrious and popular throughout her High School Life. She has the ability to collect money from anybody for any thing, a talent which alone should mark her as an exceptional person. et who could help giving money to a girl with such a winning smile, punc- tuated with such lovely dimples ? This little girl intends to be a nurse. We are sure that she will have a host of patients, sick or otherwise. so OUR 1 9 2 9 A N N UA L The Class History of June, 1929 Seniors to right of them, Juniors to left of them, Sophomores in front of them. On strode the Freshmen. Theirs not to make reply; Theirs not to reason why; Theirs but to do or die; Into Old Chester High, Strode the two hundred. Very much to this effect was our invasion of Chester High School. We came in like lambs, but we re going out like lions. If you don t credit that statement now, perhaps you will after you read of our exploits. Well, you know that Freshmen have a rather hard time of it; and to put it mildly, we were no exception to the rule. In the first place, we stood in awe of those godly 1 icings called Seniors (something the younger generation does not) ; and we did not feel it beneath our dignity to admire them. We gazed at them in admiration at first, but, when we discovered that they were going to give a Freshman Reception, our admiration verged on adoration. In anticipation of the affair, we held two class meetings. During one, we elected our officers: president, John Howley; vice-president, James Smith; secretary, Leah Jordan; treasurer, Thelma Crosgrove. The other was devoted to preparation. We planned to march buoyantly in with our officers leading, and we practiced twice. November came, and with it came tidings of the reception. On the great night we dressed in our best bib and tucker, and with nervous but pleased spirits brought our parents to view C. H. S. and meet our teachers. That much we accomplished. As the triumphant line stood in beaming readiness to march into chapel —the lights went out! They were not turned on again that evening, and we, in all our glory, retreated by the light of candles, crestfallen and sorrowful. The momentous event culminated in the greatest disappointment we had ever known. Our Freshman year had no other famous incident to record, and in June nine- tenths of us entered the grindstone-era with light hearts. Nevertheless, the Freshman year OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 51 The Class History of June, 1929 served its purpose. We gained a firm foothold in all phases of high school life. We were represented in athletics, literature, music, and on the Honor Roll. In September, 1926, a new set of athletes, scholars, and famous folk joined our ranks. Although they brought with them many new hal its. much new gossip, and a few great thin! ers, they did not enable us to startle the world by being anything other than a normal Sophomore class. We, too, used our Sophomore year to get settled. We elected new officers: president, Lawrence Tedesco: vice-president, Jack Reed; secretary, Alfred Sherrer; trea- surer, Martha Eberly. Our meetings this year were characterized by alert arguments and universal disputation. At last we were coming into our own. We began to “speak for our- selves. (and we haven't stopped yet). Still, the settling period was, on the whole, a tranquil one: and we accomplished several things. We raised our dues from ninety cents to a dollar and twenty cents; we began to discuss the Washington trip: we started agitation for a party in the future: we decided to choose blue and white for our class colors; we determined to give the boys who played on any Freshman teams numerals, which the Girls’ Social Service Society made: we ltegan to talk about our class cut, which was made by Norma Bram; we elected Robert Hibbert as class cheer leader; and we bought a full page in the Annual. We had a full year, and we felt competent enough to become Juniors. You really don't know what high school is until you’re a Junior; then it bursts on you in its full glory. You have the thrill of being a vital part of the school, and you can thoroughly enjoy everything. You aren't responsible for the big things, and you have absolutely no petty details to worry you. Oh, it's great to be a Junior. We made a fresh start by electing new officers who were John Ilowley, president; Norma Bram, vice-president; Virginia Apsley, secretary; and Martha Eberly, treasurer. With 52 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Class History of June, 1929 the new year came new questions. The greatest controversy took place when class flues were mentioned. We voted and re-voted concerning our finances, and our final decision was to enter $233.06 in a “Washington Trip Fund ’ and to use our Junior class dues as income. Acting under this plan, we raised our dues to two dollars, and. at the end of the term, we were well off. O lower classman, go thou and do likewise. Xot only did the Washington trip claim our attention, but also the demand for a class song, a class ring, and material for the Junior Recital. First we disposed of the ring question by appointing a committee which attended to details, and we had merely to vote. We chose the square rings, which we privately think are much, much nicer than those any other class ever had. Then a committee for the class song was appointed, and the result was a poem written by Xornia Bram set to music by Mr. Fishburn. On March 1, and March 2. the musical comedy. “A Dutchess in Dutch, was presented. This super-production was written bv Mr. Fishburn and one of our shining lights. Edwin Maimed. Seventeen of the cast were drawn from our ranks, and the stage manage- ment was under the care of four of us. It is quite unnecessary to add that the affair was a great success, and formed a topic of conver- sation for weeks. It even served to bring the Junior class public recognition, and raised our reputation highly! Then came the Junior Recital, second only to graduation. We threw ourselves whole-heartedly into the affair; and it was as successful a Junior Recital as has ever been presented. This is not our smug opinion only, for the public speaking teachers and the audience both said so. With the Junior Recital our junior year began to wane; and, taking stock of our year’s labor, we found that a Junior, Mary Koch, was captain of the girls' basketball team; that Edwin Maimed was on the tennis team; that six of us were out for track; that the track team captain was Larry Tedesco; that John Howley and Ellis Dwyer were basketball stars; that Harold Houston was basketball manager; that Albert Firth was manager of the soccer team; that six of us OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 53 The Class History of June, 1929 were out for baseball: that Joe Green and George Carter were football heroes; that three Juniors were on the 1927-28 Spectrum Board: and, to tell the truth, that Juniors were every- thing! Yes. the Junior year certainly is the “limestone!” We had a wonderful time being Juniors, and we can say with Dido, “We lived, happy, alas, too happy!” Our “Alas!” arose when we realized that we must resign our per- fect state in order to assume the responsibilities of Seniors and to shorten our span of C. II. S. life. At last the ship of '29, famed on ring and class cut. was turned toward the harbor, and in June. 1928, we all sighted the shores of that Utopia ljelonging only to Seniors in high school. We anchored in Septeml er, and we reached the climax of our high school career. Seniors! The beginning of the end! On that September morning there were many beaming counten- ances that didn’t belong to lower classmen. Not even Columbus and all his crew were more delighted to see land than the newly fledged Seniors were to march into undisputed front seats in chapel. That unfathomable and un- changing buoyancy stayed with us all through 12A. By means of it we steered clear of the shoals of poetry and the quicksand of short story writing. A few. however, were sunk by the rocks of physics, first having l een overcome by sound waves. In February, we lost the up- lifting. joyous spirit. A complacent realization that we were Seniors came over us, and we no longer flaunted our honors—we left that for other 12A’s to do. As I2B’s we look back on our first semester. e see the success of our Freshman Reception, and we visibly swell with pride. We count our athletes, our poets, our authors, our musicians, our composers, and our debaters: and hats fit more snugly. We eye our full treasury, and say, “It won’t l e long now!” We study constantly, and murmur as we do so, “This, too, will pass away.” We view our future prospects, and the old-time lightness of spirit overwhelms us. We gloat over our Washington trip, our future party, play, and dance, and sigh contentedly. 54 OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL The Class History of June, 1929 Ah. we say, “to lie Seniors is to hold the world in our hands. We wish this state could last forever!” At this point we abruptly cease our meditations, and go to something more conducive to happy thoughts. We recall our Octolier meeting, and the election of officers. Even if we were Seniors, we still lived up to our reputation, and did the unique thing. In the giddy pleasure of Iteing school leaders and overcome by football excite- ment, we elected Cyman Goldberg as vice presi- dent. So famous were his football honors that we naturally believed he belonged to us, and we snatched him right out of his own class. Now in March we have discovered our mistake, and at our next meeting we intend to elect a 12B. Our other officers are permanently installed. They are John Howley, who was unanimously elected president; Virginia Apsley, secretary; and 1 .call Jordan, treasurer. If the fates go with us, as they have, our destines are to be untroubled throughout our remaining high school life; and, as the fates have been to a great extent personified by our teachers, we feel sure of a happy ending. We owe to each of our teachers, who have been our never-fail- ing advisers and friends, a debt of gratitude we can never hope to pay. We are largely what they have made us. and we thank them for their constant support and kindness through- out our high school life. We can never express our appreciation for what they have done for us—we haven’t that power with words; but we do want them to realize that we shall always remember them and their friendship for us. And so, before the class of ’29 leaves Chester High School, we give a lusty cheer for C. H. S. May it stay fast to the star we’ve hitched it to! Leah Jordan. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 55 “CRANFORD” A most kindly and humorous historian of early nineteenth century feminine minds and manners was Mrs. Gaskell, creator of a little English town populated chiefly by widows and maiden ladies, who abhorred masculine society in the abstract. Here, one recognizes the Knuts- ford of the author's own youth. The characters are all drawn from life, which explains the rounded artistry and individuality of their delineation. Miss Matty Jenkyns resembles closely the widowed aunt by whom Mrs. Gas- kell was reared; Mary Smith fills the place of the author herself; wrhile “poor Peter” is her own brother, whose fate, unlike that of the fictitious Peter, remained forever a mystery to his family. Miss Pole, the Honorable Mrs. Jamieson, and the other inimitable personalia of the story all seem as endearingly familiar to us as they were to their chronicler. This tale has teen dramatized by Margaret Merington, and was chosen for one of the most enjoyable treats of the year, the first Faculty production ever staged in Chester High School, given on March 7 and 8. There w'e saw our teachers shine as all of us have at some time aspired to do. Their hearty interpretation of the various roles was realished by crowded houses on both nights. Costumes consisting of yards of voluminous silks, laces ,and ribbons, and stuffed appropriately with pillow-s, brought incredulous chuckles from the younger element of the audience. The program was introduced by music from the memorable “Duchess in Dutch,” rendered by the High School Orchestra. The cast of the main attraction was as follows: Miss Matilda Jenkyns (Miss Matty)—“Meek and undecided to a fault; not far from sixty” ...................Esther Howard Mary Smith—“A well-to-do and happy young woman” ...............Elizabeth Bartlesox 56 OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL “CRANFORD” } Martha—“Blunt and plain-spoken ' Charity B. Hampson Miss Role—“A way of popping into all sorts of places to gratify her curiosity” Mary Ed. Mecoy Mrs. Forrester—“A meek, enduring lady in most things; slightly deaf afflicted with a terror of ghosts”.........Mary Carroll Mrs. Fite-Admit—“Had been nothing but a country girl”......Pamela Mc illiams Miss Betty Barker—“A retired milliner; not so young as she had been” H a x N a 11 Cassell The Honorable Mrs. Jamieson—“Fat and in- ert; Pompous; inclined to doze” Edna M. Wagner Lady Glenmire—“Widow of a Scotch peer; a bright little woman who had been very pretty .....................Zen a Hunter Feter Marntaduke Arley Jenkyns — “Miss Matty’s long-lost brother; bald and portly; exceedingly droll, but never to hurt anyone” T11 EOIX)RE S M IT 11ERS The ladies of the Faculty who were not in the cast showed themselves thorough good sports by furnishing the “atmosphere. As ushers, their ingenious dresses, some invented and some genuine relics of the “gay nineties, provided an interesting diversion as they were paraded up and down the aisles. The young folks of tiie High School and the people of Chester have two evenings of novel entertain- ment for which to tender their sincere thanks to the Faculty of Chester High School. OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 57 The Spelling Championship Turkey dinner, music, movies, and possible victory—the inducements offered the sellers at the third interscholastic Peirce School Singl- ing Bee. The dinner was delicious: the music was refreshing; the movies were most thrilling and instructive; and the entire day was colored by hopes and fears for the rest. It was a well-drilled but nervous team which arrived from Chester on Saturday morning. March 23, at the Peirce School of Business Administration, 1420 Pine Street. Philadelphia, hour of the five were new members who had never before participated in one of these annual contests. The team was composed of: Norma Brain, captain, replacing James Christie, our champion, who had found himself unable to at- tend: Walter Blumenkrantz, Louise Buck, Sarah Cloud, and Thomas McCarron: with Miss Williams as chaperon. 58 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Spelling Championship As we arrived at Peirce's School, they sep- arated our team and administered the first dose —a written examination calculated to eliminate the majority of the one hundred and seventy spellers present, representatives of thirty-four New Jersey and and Eastern Pennsylvania high schools. There were such words as “om- niscient,” “torque,” “complaisance,” “bour- geois” (pronounced “bourjoice”), and that tricky pair, ‘supersede” and “intercede.” This was followed by dinner in vacant classrooms and music and movies in the auditorium. Thus passed more than two waiting hours. Then came a tense moment. Brandishing sheets of paper, Professor John A. Luman, director of the school, and Louis B. Moffett, Jr., assistant director, appeared upon the plat- form to announce the ten successful teams and the forty best spellers. And lo! Egg Harbor’s name led all the rest. The Chester delegation wore mournful faces—it wasn't pleasant to l e left out of the fun. But suddenly we heard joy- ous words—two of us were among the forty to broadcast over Station WLIT at 4:30 The team contest was next on the program. For more than an hour and a half we sat and listened to fifty boys and girls striving with might and main to uphold the honor of their high schools. For more than an hour and a half we took down lists of the jaw-breakers which turned out to l e almost heart-breakers for some. Finally, after a hard struggle between Spring City, Pennsylvania; and Moorestown, New Jersey, Spring City vanquished her rival and stood apparently victorious. The score, however, showed these two high schools to have tied, with Vineland as runner-up. A silver plaque was awarded to each of the schools rep- resented by the two winning teams, with silver medals for their members. The Vineland team were awarded bronze medals. Incidentally, this result marked a stride on Pennsylvania’s part, for in previous years all honors had been car- ried off by New Jersey. About 3 :30, two special buses appeared to convey us to Lit Brothers studio. Although an hour must still elapse before we were to go on the air, we were allowed to enter almost at OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL 59 The Spelling Championship once for the purpose of accustoming' ourselves to the surroundings. We found the studio beau- tifully furnished, with luxurious carpets under foot and heavy curtains and hangings about to deaden noises. There was a window open, but it faced a blank wall and admitted neither sound nor air. The padded walls made the room so close that we thought we should stifle. We were lined up, forty-one of us, and ad- monished not to make a sound until we saw the red light go on and heard a buzz. In a daze we heard Mr. Harry E. Bartow, secretary of the Peirce School, introduce us to the radio aud- ience. and saw the two judges, Mr. Alvin C. Krebel and Mr. Howard O. Wells, take their places with their dictionaries. Professor Luman started the long lists. It was a truly awful feeling to approach that grim, inscrutable contraption they call a “mike and stand awaiting the fateful word. And how grand and glorious it was when that word turned out to be a kind and friendly one; one's tongue remained under control, and one was permitted to remain in line. Luckily, they gave no words like “saltrheum,” which had proved the downfall of the last three in the previous contest; such a one would have finished us in short order. “Acrimonious did take its toll; “tattooing was a puzzler: “naively kept one girl l)efore the microphone until we thought she had forgotten to s[ el!; “initiatory looks easy enough, but the circumstances proved it otherwise. A crowd began to form in the radio depart- ment of the store, just outside the glass win- dows of the studio. Louise was in it. although Sarah and Thomas had had to leave. Walter and I were inside, working hard. Then “chrys- alis took Walter. Rut he stayed in the studio to listen, and wisely, as it turned out. For it wasn't long liefore t was mistakenly ruled out. Due to the support I was able to show, the judges realized their error and returned me to my place. The spelling went on. After about forty min- utes ten were left of the forty-one who had started. 60________OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL_ The Spelling Championship “Announce the name of your high school, please, as you spell. That was the thrill that comes once in a lifetime. Very soon there were only five left standing. “Clematis ’ and “vilify tripped three of them. Florence Daube, of Mays Landing, and I stood together before the microphone. Florence had displayed remarkable endurance and was now very tired. She had upheld her team until almost the very last in the previous contest of the afternoon. Xow. in the suffocating atmos- phere of the studio, and worn by the strain ot competition, she had spelled to a climax. Little wonder that, given “delectable, a word un- familiar to her. her stoical calm gave way and she was unable even to guess. In a moment, she was sent down. The contest was over. It was now five-thirty, but by the time we had escaped from the reporters and newspaper offices we had missed the 6:15 train and had an hour and a half to wait. So we dined at the jovial Mr. Moffett’s expense, ventured on an extended tour around City Hall Square, and arrived home late and tired at the end of a per- fect day. Norma Bram.

Since then improvements and adjustments have Ijeen made, until today, the people of Chester boast of one of the best equipped and most efficient school shops in the State of Pennsylvania. Within the Industrial Course, there are three divisions: pattern-making, machine training, and mechanical drawing. Along with these sttl - jects, the student is taught mathematics. Eng- lish, trade theory, science, music, and history. The Industrial Course does not prepare for college. Upon entering this department, the hoy chooses the vocation in which he is most inter- ested. For the first two years he is given a thorough and complete foundation in the work that he has chosen. In his third year, the work is so arranged that half the time is spent with practical work in some shop of the city. Here the student comes into contact with the actual working conditions. Xeedless to say, our de- partment is still evolving. The students of this department have found- ed an organization known as the Industrial Society. The purpose of this society is to further the knowledge of industrial science, and to develop pleasant social relations among the industrial boys of all the several groups. Men of wide practical experience speak to the boys during the regular meetings of the society. The officers elected to guide the society the past year were: president, Harry Taylor: vice- president, Stanley Babe; secretary, Harvey McLean: treasurer, Herbert Messick. Harry Taylor.

Poems have lieen written about it: pictures have been painted of it. with sails bellying in the wind, sailing along with a bone in its teeth; but we are going to take you over the voyage of the Ship C. H. S.. February, '30, which started its memorable trip on the Sea of Learning in February, 1926. Our sailors were green, and many of them were sea-sick—even home-sick—the first few days. Our ship was launched with Captain Robert Anderson at the helm, J. Wilson Lock- wood as first mate, Mary Wiser guarding the treasure chest, and lionise Schmidt keeping the log. During the first part of our voyage, we ran up the pirate emblem, skull and cross tones, on a blue and gold background. We sailed for a year and a day, through fair and foul weather. At last, passing the sunken reefs and treacherous shoals of Final Examina- tions, we reached the Sophomore Sea. Of course several passengers were disabled or died anti were dropped overboard. By this time sailing was no novelty, but it was still interesting because of the many new things that we saw each day. The Captain remained at the wheel, but the new First Mate was Ogle Kidd, one of the fiercest, most blood thirsty pirates that ever sailed the Seven Seas. Edward Northam kept the log lxx ks and Jack Sweeney guarded the treasure chest. We steered around the History Reef, battled through the Geometry Straits and the English Channel and over the sunken rocks of Latium, France, and Spain. It was during the third year of our mo- mentous voyage that many things of note occurred. First of all. our veteran captain was replaced by Robert Worrell; Ogle Kidd still held the position of first mate; but Anna OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 97 The Class History of February, 1930 Louise Jones (she is one of our bravest shark fighters) attained the position of keeper of the log; and John Weller assumed the guardian- ship of the treasure. At Smedley Bay our base- ball squadron met several other fleets in l attle and emerged victorious. About this time, we sailors also received our service strijn? in the form of rings. At Hallowe’en, as we crossed the Equator, we invited Davy Jones. Neptune and all the other spooks to a grand party. Twenty men on a dead man’s chest—and they all had their fortunes told by Miss Wagner. There was salt in the sea and salt in us, for we consumed un- believable quantities of pretzels. “Yo-ho. and a bottle of rum!” ( We had cider, hearties, but it quenched our thirst as well). Later on, our debating crew won in a skir- mish over the Senior crew, with Anna Louise Jones as our coxswain, Richard Boutelle, John Weller and Elizabeth Whitby composing our crew. Finally, after three years’ voyage, as we catch up with the present and enter the last lap of our journey, we find that it is easy sailing. This year we kept our captain. Bob Worrell, but our first mate is now Marie MacDonald. Anna Louise Jones is still keeping the log and John Weller, the treasure chest. As we look over the leaves of the log we notice many names that stand out alx ve the others of the crew; for instance: I-aurence Tedesco, captain of the track team in his Jun- ior year ; John Yakonis, captain of the track team and also a member of the football team; Joe (xreen, one of the best quarterbacks Ches- ter High has even produced; Simon Goldberg and Clarence Tindall, also football men; Frank Snyder, captain of the basketball team and also a meml)er of the football team; Anna Louise Jones, one of our !)est students, and a cracker- jack debater; Alice Baylin, John Weller, Sam Tollen, Laurence Tedesco, some of our mu- sicians; Roger Hamlin, Richard Boutelle. Alvin Sweet, and Louise de Blasiis connected 98 OUR 1 9 2 9 A N N U A L The Class History of February, 1930 with the Spectrum staff: and hosts and dozens of others.

Able Seamen. 930 100 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Mayor’s Busy Day Chester was growing, to begin with. There was no doubt whatever about that. Mayor Rob- ert Worrell realized it was doing well? He certainly did. It was under his wise and careful administration that Chester had grown to such dimensions that it boasted a new hotel, a theatre, and another daily paper, the Chester World. The Chester Times had blossomed into a national newspaper, under the editorship of William Pierce, recording events over all the world. The World confined itself to local doings. Jean Burns was its editor, helped by her able corps of assistants: Anne Hanna, editor of the womens page: Louis Greenl erg, comic editor; Mary Wiser, of the society news section; il- liam Hall, sports writer: and Sarah Marder, advertising manager. Mayor Worrell was seated one morning in his luxurious office in the City Hall. The door opened, and Louise Schmidt, his trusted secre- tary, brought in a copy of The World. ith a “thank you,” Mr. Worrell started to scan the headlines. The first item that caught his eye was headed, “Corson Loses Suit.” “Herbert Corson, owner of the Famous Pea- nut Shop on Market Street, lost his law suit against Paul Genther, proprietor of Genther’s Furniture Emporium. Attorney Mary Link, Mr. Corson's lawyer, upheld his side with con- vincing evidence ; but Miss Thelma Crosgrove, Mr. Genther’s counsel, clinched the decision for her client. Judge Martin Clan officiated, and complimented both lawyers on their excellent arguments. “During the trial, it is reported, two convicts escaped from the custody of Robert Anderson, Warden of the Chester Jail.” Another headline stated that Chester High School had made several changes in personnel. Dr. Milton Kosmin,” said the item, has l een appointed as head of the Latin and Greek De- partment. W illard Lord, S. O. S., will he the new Chief Disciplinarian, while Professor Ernest Wuest will teach French, history, and mathematics, as well as English and music. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Mayor’s Busy Day Miss Louise de Iilasiis and John M. Weller were appointed physical instructors. Miss Regina Ashby is to he in charge of the new Library Building. Miss Bluntberg leaves for South, stated a line to the left of the page. “Miss Anna Blum- berg, noted big game hunter, left yesterday on another trip to Northern South America and the Amazon River Valley. Miss Elizalieth Whitby, star reporter for the Chester Times, is accompanying Miss Bluntberg to write the story of the trip. Mr. Claude Alcutt, said the item below, manager of the Ford Manufacturing Com- pany, together with his assistant, Robert Cressy, has just returned front an aeroplane convention in Byrd Land, South Pole. While there, Mr. Alcutt discovered some fossils which he brought home to Dr. Richard Boutelle, emi- nent anthropologist, who believes that the fossils will show a queer kind of five-legged tlog. and will throw much light on the evolution theory. I he office door was opened again, this time by Mr. John Weller, city treasurer, who en- tered and seated himself opposite the Mayor. I he unveiling ceremony is going on now, he said. You know the Bour de Lais Hotel on Broad Street, that Helen Money owns? “Certainly.” Well, they re unveiling Chesntan Bour de Lais statute in Deshong Park. Loretta Carey, I believe, is officiating. He certainly did a lot for Chester by starting that line of hotels.” He did, indeed. Naomi Ingram, by the way, she is getting along very well as president (if the School Board—remarked to me that all our legislation, and even Jack Sweeney’s airport, have done no more to help Chester than Bour de Lais' hotels.” And I just dropped in to see you about the tt nds for the new Eighth Street bridge. Ogle Kidd says that he is willing to take the con- tract. 102 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Mayor’s Busy Day After a brief consultation, the treasurer left, and Worrell returned to his newspaper. He turned to the sports page: “At last the Brew- sters are satisfied. The Chester Ball Club, man- aged by Donald Bruce, has defeated the New York Yankees, under Milton Melville’s man- agement, by the score of four to three. The game was umpired by our own Chester man, Hill Bryan. The big feature of the game was the home run by Frank Snyder in the last inning.” Another item told how the Panama Canal swimmer, and Y. W. C. A. instructor, Miss Ruth Kennard. had saved from drowning the charming society matron, Mrs. Albert Firth. The Y. V. C. A. secretary. Miss May Roder, had praised Miss Kennard's prowess and cour- age. The mayor next turned to the society news. Here are the samples that particularly caught his eye: “Miss Alice Baylin, with Miss Blanche Rendelman as soloist, made her debut as leader of the Chester Symphony Orchestra last night, when that organization gave the first of a series of popular ( we hope) concerts under the man- agement of Robert Graham.” “Major James Honan, noted birdman, ar- rived yesterday in his plane, the C. H. S. ’30, after having successfully completed the first non-stop flight around the universe.” “Miss Eleanor Bullock left yesterday for London, where she will be married next month to Prince Percy Archibald Marmaduke Smith. The Reverend Joseph Green will not officiate at the wedding as was formerly supposed.” “Miss Catherine Johnson, Chester's leading undertakeress, entertained some friends in- formally at her home on Providence Avenue last evening. “Mr. Owen Morrison, our genial chief of the Fire Department, was recently presented with a new Ford Firefly plane as a reward for his heroic but futile effort to save the Whoopee Tea Shop from complete destruction by fire OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Mayor’s Busy Day last week. The fire, it will lie remembered, was due to spontaneous combustion brought about by a patron, who became unduly heated dur- ing a long wait for food while the shop owner, Miss Mary Laird, was instructing the Misses Esther Ulan and Bertha Nethery in the lost art of making noodles.” “Miss Margaret Lee has gained world-wide recognition for her latest invention of a method of producing naturally curly hair, which she demonstrated on Miss Myrl’e Snyder. Several high school boys have paid Miss Lee $50 apiece for waves, which, it is claimed, ‘came out’ very successfully.” His Honor realized that he should begin his daily work, but he turned for a glimpse o fthe advertisements of the Market Street Play- house. On page 7 he noticed an ad inserted by Inspired Fred Hardman, owner of the Colonial Book Mart. Fred announced that he had for sale 5.000 copies of the popular new book, “Analysis of Queer Specimens, written by the three eminent sociologists. Professor Anna Coslett, Dr. Anna Louise Jones, and Mr. Samuel Pollen, Esquire. Fred had not read the book, but had heard that children were very fond of it. The theatre's advertisement said that the manager, Larry Tedesco, would soon put on the best shows so far. “Why Bachelors Leave Home, under the able direction of Robert Hibbert. Cyman Goldberg was to be the fea- tured actor in an all-star cast, including Marie MacDonald, Lillian Ashworth, and Doris Reed. I he Mayor folded up the paper carefully and abstractedly laid it on the desk with a sigh, and began the day's onerous duties as execu- tive of Pennsylvania’s largest city. OUR 1929 ANNUAL 105 The Class History of June, 1930 ------And the bubbles grew, and grew, and grew, and are still floating al out in the air, unpricked, shining with iridescent lights. Metaphorically speaking, this is the Class of June, 1930. Having lieen blown from their respective schools, in June, 1926, these bubbles wended their airy ways to the spacious halls of Chester High School. Effervescently they gathered together, form- ing another pool of education. At a baby Hubble Brilliante, namely the Freshman Re- ception, they were initiated into the tasks of bringing beautiful s]iectra colors into their in- dividual lives, and hence to their school. This insignificant pool purled as Freshmen and Sophomores under the leadership of Big Bubble, James Christie. However, several other bubbles offered their successful executive aid. During these years some, bursting, trinkled front this pool and are now whirling along in strange schools with strange bubbles. Surging on, they have reached that some- what colorful stage of Juniors, still within the halls of Chester High. Nevertheless, they still surrender to a chosen Big Bubble. Nelson (■reen, who along with Secretary of the Bubbles, Wesley Pedlow, and Money Holding Bubble, Mary Bergen, is aiding to blend the many colorful tones into one big bright success. -----And the bubbles are gurgling on thru their higher color values and are hoping to sparkle the brightest of all the spectra, to stand out from every other bubble, before it comes their time to burst and hence flow into other pools and other foreign lands. -----Thus time goes on In its never-ending way, mysterious and vague.

Our class has ljeen greatly increased by many pupils from Smedley and Booker T. Washington Schools. We have chosen our class colors, and just to l e original we selected three. They arc red, gold, and gray. The girls who were on the hockey team were presented with numerals. The lucky ones were Amy Terry, Sylvia Baylin, and Sara Pidcock. We sincerely hope that these girls show as good work in the future as they did in the past. The boys have also shown a great deal of s] eed and class on the football field. Those who were rewarded with numerals were Henry Bris- coe, Benjamin Levine, Dick Wright, George Ross, Howard Trout, and Blair McCoy. The girls who have l een coming out for basketball have shown 11s that Chester High School need not wory alxmt its future varsity team. Under the excellent coaching of Mrs. Larkin and Miss Hunter the following girls have teen chosen to represent a part of the Sophomore team: Florence DiV'irgilio, Sylvia Baylin, Sara Pidcock, and Loretta Casson. We are very proud to tell the world that we have paid off all our debts and still have a little nest egg laid aside for a rainy day. If you think our meetings were merely busi- ness conferences, you are mistaken. At one of our meetings Alfred Pike rendered a saxaphone solo, accompanied by Julius Levine at the piano. Our next class advisers will l e Miss Jackson and Mr. Mathues, and we hoi e we shall prove worthy of their gocxl work. Folks, we shall now say goodbye until we. as Juniors, meet you again in next year's Annual. Loretta Casson.

Upon that first day we received our rosters. During the first week we tried to get accustomed to the ways of the school and the teachers. Those of us who had the luck (good or l ad) to be transferred from one school to another found pleasure in renewing acquaint- ances with our old classmates; for our class is composed of pupils who came from all the grammar schools in the city and from several schools in the surrounding county. W e all made many new friends. We soon settled down to our studies, and although some of them were new to us, thanks to our excellent teachers, our class has main- tained a good showing on the Honor Roll. At our first class meeting under the direction of our class advisers, Mr. Christman and Miss Hibbs, we elected the following officers: Vin- cent Caruso, president; Joseph Bently, vice- president; Helen Byron, secretary; Ulrica Cos- grove, treasurer. Soon after this our class was given a reception by the Seniors, for which we are very grateful. Joseph Young, a member of our class, went out for the cross-country team. He won his “C and broke a record in so doing. To show that our class was not lacking in school spirit, we won, in conjunction with the present toa’s the cup offered in a campaign for subscriptions to the Spectrum. Time seemed to have wings and soon came February and promotion. Jorell L. Kelley.

After searching the city for the beautiful granite building, towering above the trees, one hundred and fifteen grammar school graduates finally landed in the assembly hall of Chester High School. fhe members have chosen the following people to guide the class through the events and struggles of the year: president, Samuel Gold- stein; vice president, Lillian Panish; treasurer, Emily Elzy; secretary, Mary Minnick; Spec- trum representative. David Phillips. The class dues are ten cents. The room collectors are: Mary Maloy, in Miss Valentine's room; Sara Coakly, in Mr. Pullen's room; W illiam W ilson, in Mr. Del laass' room. Miss Cassell, the class advisor, took charge of the meeting at which the class officers were elected. The class feels confident that a pros- perous year is in store for us under the guiding hand of Miss Cassell. Not much is to be said of sports concerning the Freshmen, but give them time. The class expects Fred Green to bring many track honors to Chester High School. The Frosh boys are making a splendid showing in the Athletic As- sociation. As usual, the Freshmen are excited by the lure of a new field and a new goal. We sincerely ho] e that the luster and magnificance of the new school will never wear off. and that the February class of 1933 will l)e an honor to Chester High School. David D.

Its meetings are held on the third Friday of every month, and they are very worthwhile and interesting. The officers of the society elected at the October meeting were: president, Nelson Rightmyer; first vice president, Richard Mont- gomery; second vice president, Robert Wor- rell ; secretary, Eva Buckley. Our first vice president, Richard Mont- gomery, became president in February as the former president had graduated. The program for the November meeting was an interesting debate, “Resolved: That the Literary Society should be divided into junior and senior societies. As the vote was a tie, the question was not able to be settled. It was left to the English classes to vote upon, but no further step has been taken. Therefore there is still only one society. A debate on the proposition, “Resolved: 1 hat the consolidation of railroads would lie beneficial to the United States, was the attrac- tion of the January meeting. The affirmative side was upheld by Anna Louise Jones, John eller, Elizabeth W’itby, and Richard Boutelle. alter Felton, Hannah Monroe, Emmanuel Berlant, and James Crielly, were on the nega- tive team. The affirmative team won, 5 to 4. An interesting program on John Drinkwater was given at the March meeting. Emmanuel Berlant began this program with a short talk- on John Drinkwater. John Woodrow recited a poem called “Anthony Crundle, and the poem, “Immortality. was given by Alice Mustavoy. A review of Drinkwater’s play entitled “Abra- ham Lincoln” was given by Bessie Gerber. This proved to l e a very interesting program and was enjoyed by all who attended the meet- ing. W e wish to thank Miss Williams, our in- structor, for her splendid assistance, and all the members who have lieen so loyal in their co- operation. Eva Buckley, Secretary. 130 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL Senior Debating Society The Senior Debating Society was conducted in a different manner this year from that of previous years. W'e held a meeting every week, and in this way everyone was able to participate more often. During many of the meetings, the members presented extemporaneous speeches concerning interesting current events such as those relating to speed, world peace, and labor problems. However, we held debates at various times with teachers acting as judges. We soon discovered that our class possessed many able speakers and good debaters, although this was not altogether unknown to us before. Another new step was taken by the society this year, for we sent a group of mentlters to Wilming- ton High School to take part in a debate with students from that school. We were more than delighted when we learned that the business men of Chester were interested in our society. So we gave a public debate in our school auditorium on “Install- ment Buying, and several business men pre- sented the speakers with prizes. Did you notice how, on certain mornings, the Juniors and Seniors hastened to chapel? Well, the cause of the excitement was an interclass debate lietween the Juniors and Seniors. We had two debates with the juniors, and they proved very interesting. The Senior Debating Society this year was Ixith interesting and educational, and we hope that those taking our places will continue to improve the society and enjoy the meetings as well as we did. Madeline Maloy, Secretary. 0 I R 1 92 9 ANNUAL____13I_ The Library Club In February, 19JS, a group of Seniors began to learn the duties of a librarian under Mrs. Pedlow’s guidance. As they grew more enthu- siastic over the work, they told their friends; and in this way our Library Club came into existence. e planned at first to confine ourselves strictly to business: but. as we l ecame accus- tomed to our particular committee's subject, we grew fascinated by the wide field of plea- sure that so magically opened for 11s. We dis- covered not only the technical phase of librarianship, but also the interesting and en- joyable part. We learned to classify and catalogue books; we were instructed to dis- tinguish l etween “author, “subject, and “title cards; we were shown how to file mag- azines; to list catalogues and pamphlets; we became accustomed to the location of various subjects in the library; we learned to care for new books and to re-bind old ones; we were schooled to appraise the value of reference books; we were taught to put books into cir- culation. To put it briefly, we learned the rudi- ments of library work. In company with this we l ecame acquainted with all the pleasures librarians have. We dis- covered the remarkable secrets of Webster's dictionary. We were enabled to read the history of a word by signs and abbreviations; we traced the use of words from their origin until the present, and that study was one of the most interesting things we did. We gained an in- sight, however vague, into psychology. We l e- came aware of the characteristics of some of our l est friends by their actions in the library. Perhaps you who read this may doubt that. If you do, why not come out to see for yourself? W e learned to read indexes. Who would ever suppose he'd find an account of beet sugar or pretzels in a chemistry book? We discovered many curious facts in doing this, and some of us developed a sixth sense in the art. We de- lighted ourselves by the unique pleasure that OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 132 The Library Club comes from dipping’ into strange l ooks and finding the very nicest reading. All this is but a resume of the pleasure we deriver from the club. We intend to 1)e a social group, too, and now we are planning for a tea and a few entertain- ments in the spring. We have had a pleasant, interesting, and profitable year in the club, and because we want to share our pleasures with our classmates we are extending a universal invitation to join the club, which we hope will be accepted in September. Leah Jordan. THE LIBRARY CLUB. 1929 134 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Dramatic Society On Octol er 11, 1928, the Dramatic Society was organized for the ensuing year. The fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Marker Todd; first vice-president, Park Elliott; second vice-president, Fred Hardman; secretary and treasurer, Mabel Jackson. The first play staged was “The Ghost Story,” by Booth Tarkington. Several acts from Dickens' “Christmas Carol'' were pre- sented at Christmas time. “Fur and W armer,” by Virginia Melick, was given at the Fresh- men Reception. Beth Trainer, chairman of the makeup committee, gave an interesting lecture on makeup, illustrated with the aid of the com- mittee. The Dramatic Society owes much to Miss Doyle and Miss Howard for the splendid help and advice which they have given us. We wish to thank them heartily for their guidance through 1928-29. May we have a bigger and better society next year than this, our biggest and best so far. Mabel Jackson. OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL 135 The Dunbar Literary Society President...................Paul Blackston Vice-President......................Emma Bell Secretary...................Theo. Swiggett Treasurer........................Helen Money The Dunbar Literary Society was organized February 16, 1922, by Mr. Homer Rennie, who was then principal. It is composed of all the colored students of Chester High School. The aim of the society is to stimulate the in- terests and activities of the members in public speaking, Negro literature, music, and dra- matics. The Society was not active during the early part of this year, but with the advent of spring it began conscientious work. Upon the graduation of Paul Blackston in February, Emma Bell succeeded him as presi- dent. This year Mr. Fishbum has organized a Dunbar Octette composed of boys from the Society. In February they rendered a program in chapel. Their first appearance was so enthu- siastically received that several invitations have been extended to them to sing at various churches in the city. Miss Bloom is the faculty adviser of the Dunbar Society. To her we owe our thanks for a happy and successful year. We also thank Mr. Pedlow and Mr. Fishburn for their su| - port and co-operation. Emma Bell. fxmesam 136 OUR 1929 ANNUAL Local History Club The Local History Club, organized in 1925, has been active in studying important occur- rences of the past which have influenced our local history. Through the aid and encouragement of Miss Jackson. Miss Cassell, and Mr. Cain, the de- voted and enthusiastic souls who have made it possible for us to maintain this club, we have been able to accomplish much for the enjoy- ment and benefit of the members. During the few years of its organization the members of the I ocal History Club have presented sketches illustrating the life and cus- toms of colonial times. W henever it has l een possible, lectures of historical interest have been given by authoritative speakers. Our members also have visited places of local im- portance historically when the weather per- mitted. In the spring, our memljers hope to con- tinue these hikes. The meetings of this club, which occur twice every month, are informal; and all students who wish to join are eligible. No one is re- quired to take part in any of our activities against his consent. The purpose of the meet- ings is to consider the past history of our city and vicinity. For the past year, our meetings have been held (piite regularly; and we have, at present, an average attendance of alxnit fifty. The pres- ent officers are: Xellie Hill, president; John Howley, vice-president; Alvin Sweet, secre- tary and treasurer; and Carolyn Amundsen, Spectrum representative. The Local History Club, although young, is by no means insignificant; and it has l een progressing steadily since its organization four years ago. Let it continue to grow, by our efforts, so that someday it may be among the most important clubs of Chester High School. C A ROLY N A M L NDSEN. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 137 The Spectrum With the May issue the twenty-ninth volume of the Spectrum is completed. This year we have attempted to use in the Spectrum material somewhat different from previous volumes, and at the same time, to retain the good qualities of our school magazine. This year’s Spectrum may be considered a success, not only finan- cially, but also in respect to the general inter- est shown by the students. E. W ayne Egbert was editor throughout the year, and Rodger Hamlin served as assistant editor. Leah Jordan and Xorma Brain, the lit- erary and news editors, efficiently managed their departments. The Business and Advertis- ing Department was managed by Xelson Right- myer for the first semester, and Lockardt Sands succeeded him for the second semester. Much credit is due to this department, for it is 138______OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL The Spectrum through their efforts that the Spectrum is made possible. John S. Woodrow had charge of the Circulation Department this year. To our faculty adviser, Miss Williams, much recognition is due for her helpful counsel in publishing the Spectrum. During the year there has been an attempt made to publish better appearing and more in- teresting Spectrums. Many different cuts have been used for both inside and cover pages. As a special attraction, a minature newspaper in the form of “The Spec Tickle” was added with the December and March copies. This feature greatly aroused the general interest. Begin- ning with the October issue, each class has had the chance to present its ability in the literary work; a different class each month contributed material for the literary department. This ex- cited the interest of the classes in the Spec- trum, and also aroused a competitive spirit among classes. To the succeeding Spectrum Boards we wish the best of success in their efforts to carry on the standard of the Spectrum. E. Wayne Egbert. THE 1929 SPECTRUM BOARD OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 141 FOOTBALL Captain......................Joseph Damico Manager....................Raymond Ciiatten Coach...............Alfred (Babe) Buono A mere glance at the summary of the season will show that it was successful. Great interest was clue to the fact that we have a new coach and an abundance of promising material. Mr. Buono, our new coach, is a former star athlete and graduate of Chester High School and Pennsylvania Military College. In the ten games played this season, we lost three, tied three, and won four. Our opponents scored 82 points; we scored 80 points. Our eleven defeated Ridley Park, Temple High, Upper Darby High, and Media. We were de- feated by Easton, Lansdowne, and Collingdale, and were tied by Wilmington, W est Chester, and Glen-Nor. 'I'he outlook for a winning team next year is fair. The letter men lost by graduation and the eight semester rule are Joseph Green and Ralph Powell, quarterbacks; Joseph Damico, captain and halfback; John Hovvley, Simon Goldberg, ends; Emmanuel Berlant and Thomas Mitchell, tackles; Ellis Dwyer and Hessey Tindall, guards; Parke Elliott, center. Those remaining for next year are: David Long, William Kluse, and John Yakonis, half- backs; Dominic Marion, fullback; William Baxter and Harold Blizzard, tackles; Joseph Vankoski, guard; George Lockbolder and Frank Snyder, ends; Arthur Dunlap, center and guard. Our first game was played with Glen-Nor, and we failed to win localise of fumbles. Our second game showed the real efforts of our new coach when we defeated Ridley Park. 6-0. This is the first win, for either team, in five years. The next game, with Temple High, of Philadelphia, was easily won by the score of 30-12. The next week we defeated Upper Darby High. 12-6. Then came the slump in the team. Easton de- feated 11s, 21-0. We held Wilmington to a 142 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL FOOTBALL scoreless tie on a muddy and slippery field. W est Chester held us to a scoreless tie. Lans- downe defeated us, 18-0, because of our in- ability to fathom their aerial attack. Col ling- dale defeated us. 25-19. localise of our costly fumbles. Beautiful girls, handsome boys, big crowds, lots of noise, two good football teams, a clear sky and Thanksgiving Day. Thus we had the Chester High-Media High game set before us. Media’s inability to cover their forward passes on the offense enabled David Long and Wil- liam Kluse to intercept forward passes and run for touchdowns. After one of these touch- downs, Joseph Green kicked a goal for his only point of the year. Score. 13-0. Exit the season. At the request of the coach, no captain has been elected for the coming season. Fred Ruby has been elected manager. We extend our wishes for a successful sea- son to the team, the coach, and the manager. THE FOOTBALL TEAM. 1928 ■i E BASEBALL TEAM. 1929 OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 145 BASEBALL Coach......................“Babe” Buono Captain...................John B. Howley Manager.............Thomas McClelland Baseball season is now approaching, and we must turn our eyes in that direction. This year the team will l)e coached by Alfred Buono, our new athletic director. The candidates this year are Captain How- ley, catcher; Meenan, Bryant, and Remorenko, pitchers; Lord at first; Snyder, second; Dwyer, third; with Casto at shortstop. Davidson, Dut- ton, Joe Howley, and Burke, are the reserve infielders. The outfield problem should be Babe’s smallest task, as he has three good outfielders in Crielly, Mitchell and Lord, with Sweeney and Ross in reserve. We had a good season last year, and we hope to have a better one this year. OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 147 BASKETBALL The call for candidates for the basketball team went out immediately at the close of the football season, and cjuite a numlier of boys ap- peared in “gvm suits at the Smedley Junior High School gymnasium, which we use for all home games and practices. Among those that rejxjrted were a few of last year's regulars, including Frank Snyder. John How ley, Joseph Green, Lamoine Casto, and Ellis Dwyer, and also some new material, including Stuart Meenan. William Baxter, and Simon Goldberg. Later David Long reported at practice. Our new coach, “Babe Buono, after putting the boys through a few weeks of strenuous practice, selected a team with Green and Mee- nan tilling in the forward positions: Dwyer, the center position; and Snyder and John How ley, the guard positions. This team lost the first game of the season to Norristown by the score of 37 to 17. In the next game, which was with Upper Darby, the team, with Casto in Median’s posi- tion, won by the score of 24 to 17. Following this game, the team fell into a slump, being defeated by West Chester by the score of 35 to 23; by Wilmington, 41 to 18; by Abington, 30 to 18: by Swarthmore, in a very close game, 14 to 13, and by Lower Mer- ion, 30 to 23. The team, fighting hard, came out of the slump by defeating Norristown for the first time in six seasons. The score was 29 to 24. Fol- lowing this game, the team lost to Glen-Xor by the score of 25 to 15. The next game, which was with Ridley Park, the team took over with a 39 to 29 score. Going back into a slump again, the team lost the next two games: one to Upper Darby by the score of 27 to 11: and the other, which was 148 OUR 1 92 9 ANNUAL BASKETBALL the worst defeat the team experienced this sea- son, to Wilmington. The score was 50 to 22. The team, coming out of its slump again, defeated West Chester, in a snappy game, by the score of 26 to 23; Media, by the score of 31 to 23: and, finally, P. M. C. Freshmen by the score of 27 to 24. The high scorers this season were Simon Goldberg, who scored over a total of 108 points, and Captain Snyder, caging over 66 points. As you see, the team was not very success- ful this season, partly due to the inadequate facilities for practicing. By this, I mean we have no gymnasium, which is essential in every high school. To the managers, coaches, and teams of future seasons, I extend my most sincere wishes for better and more successful seasons, and hope for more victories over Xorristown. 0) (Ni 0) 5 Li h- J J CD h LU U) CD Li X h OUR 19 2 9 ANNUAL 151 Cross Country and Track The call for material for the cross country team brought about six fellows, including Mills, Joe Young, M. Newman, F. Newman, Obenheim .and Detwiler. Joe Young, from Boothwyn, was the star of the team. He captured first place laurels in the Suburban Championships held at Coates- ville. N oting is a Freshman, and much is ex- pected of this promising lad before he grad- uates. The track team felt the loss of Ted Graham and other stars through graduation. Many other losses were due to injuries and ineligi- bility. Our Captain, Larry Tedesco, failed to enter any meets due to injuries and ineligibility. Nevertheless, we had a fair season. Yakonis, Hunt, and Wiggins, showed up well in the dashes. 11 tint and Yakonis, almost invariably taking a first or second in every meet, were the outstanding feature of the meets. Hamilton, Young, Marion. Peterson, and Congleton did well in the field events. Green and Damico placed in the hurdles. A1 Wheaton took care of the high jump with Babe. Houston, and Rose, taking care of the pole vault. At the election of manager and captain, John Yakonis was elected captain and Robert Ander- son elected manager. Much is exacted from Yakonis this year, as it is his last at Chester High School. Last year he gave Hunt keen competition in the hundred and two twenty, and he is expected to be the leading point scorer tor his team during the coming track season. I he middle of March marks the beginning of spring track practice, and the following reg- ulars are expected to reix)rt ready for duty: Captain Yakonis, Joe Young, Peterson, Mathers, Marion, Tindall, Blizzard, Berlant, M. Newman, F. Newman, Obenheim. Houston, Rose, Bal e, Christy, and Bottomlv. This list Cross Country and Track will be swelled considerably with many new- comers from Franklin, Dewey, Smedley, Eddy- stone, Booker T. Washington, and Marcus Hook. The above will carry the Chester High colors throughout the coming track season. The success of the past track season was due to the untiring efforts of the Coach, Mr. Hughes, and also to the cooperation and will- ingness of the track team working under him. Robert I. Anderson. THE TRACK TEAM OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 155 Girls’ Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association has enjoyed a most successful year under the supervision of Miss Miller, our new adviser. The officers for the year were: Mary Munce, president: Jean Peel, vice-president: Dorothy Bettner, secretary: Lida Elcenko, treasurer; and Doris Wolson, Spectrum representative. This year marked the first year that Chester High girls have engaged in interscholastic hockey, and they came through in fine style. Those who won hockey letters were: McXutt, Monroe, Munce, Koch, Plafker, Ashby, Sill, Baxter, Williams, Loper, and Schmidt. The basketball team exhibited the results of hard practice in playing its schedule. Louise Deblasiis, Mary Koch, Dorothy Bett- ner, and Lida Elcenko earned “C’s in this sport. The Seniors triumphed in the interclass hockey tournament and gained a side of the silver loving cup ofifered for interclass sports. They were disappointed, however, in their hopes for the other side of the cup, when the Juniors romped oflf with the basketball title. So, here's to a bigger and better association for next year.
