,; ! ■ i ji§| • . •• • FOREWORD ------X— to dwell in pleasant reminiscence on the days we spent in the halls of old C. H. S. To help us perpetuate these memories we have issued this, our 1930 Annual. Into it we have endeavored to instill the spirit of Chester High School and of its protegee, the Class of 1930. To every person who has in any way aided in making this Annual a reality, we extend our sincere and hearty thanks. We, the class of 1930, are about to take leave of our Alma Mater. We shall leave in body and, to a great degree, in mind. How- ever, the sentimentalists are not all wrong when they say that it is only our bodies that depart, for as long as the wonderful friend- ships, the enjoyable and profitable contacts, and the joyous memories remain with us. just so long will our minds return occasionally -(2)- THE Class of 1930, as a mark of their sincere esteem, dedicate this 1930 Annual to their Friend, Guide and Champion, GEORGE W. PEDLOW Jn ilmnriant FILBERT S. CIRILLI FRIEND AND CLASSMATE ¥ “The poetry of youth is never dead.” OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL FACULTY CiEORGE W. PEDLOW, Ph.B.

Help us to value friendship As a rare and costly gift to man. Help us not to measure friends By the use we think we can make of them. Help us to face the sun. Not to see the shadows. Help us to see the uncrowned heroes All around us, not to see Their little faults. Help us to sympathize, Not to criticize. Help us to see the back-breaking burdens That others carry. Help us to treat them so that in the end We may have the approval Of our own soul. Help us to see that a true friendship Is like a rare and precious vase. Which, when broken, can never Be put together, or replaced; While a worthless friendship Is like a coarse earthen vessel. Which, when broken, can easily Be cemented, or replaced. Help us to sacrifice to keep these friendships. Help us to see that sacrifice is life. And that life is sacrifice. And so, O God, help us to seek The greater, richer rewards of life, That are more to be desired Than wealth or power.

Small, but oh. my! —(31)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Class History of June, 1930 —x— In September of 1926 there arrived at Chester High School, from various schools in Chester, a great throng of students. Dur- ing our Sophomore year we were joined by many students from Eddystone, Marcus Hook, and other neighboring suburbs. Al- though many hundred strong, and at first in- dividualistic. these units soon merged into one compact mass, the class of June, 1930. As Freshmen, how lonesome we were! I lowever. that did not last long. By the time programs had been made and all the neces- sary supplies had been provided, classes were in full swing, and Freshmen were ready for orga nization. At our first regular class meeting, the following officers were elected: president, James Christie: vice-president, David W hite; secretary. Doris Wolson : treas- urer. Edward Ferguson. During our Junior year, the class chose green and gold for our colors. It was during this year, too, that we became proud possess- ors of our handsome rings. Time passed quickly, and in June we felt quite awed at the thought that we should be dignified Seniors in the fall. At the first Senior class meeting the officers elected were: president, Clyde Dalton: vice- president. Val Sutton: secretary, Eva Buck- ley : treasurer, Gertrude Hampson. The football season opened with much en- thusiasm and the team had the hearty co- operation of many lusty rooters. The Seniors produced some real stars, Dominic Marion, Frank Snyder, William Baxter and Joseph Vankoski. Everyone now anticipates a pleasant trip to Washington. All too soon we shall be witnessing the spring play, and then com- mencement activities. We are exceedingly sorry to leave Chester High: yet we do not regret that we have spent four happy years here. To the school and to the faculty, who helped us in our pre- paration for life’s responsibilities, we must say—au re voir. MADALYN SCOTT. -(34)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Spelling Championship The spelling team of Chester High School attended the fourth annual Peirce Spelling Contest held at the Peirce Business School at Fifteenth and Pine Streets, March 22, and were very successful. James Christie won the individual championship award. The same honor was won by Norma Bram last year. Chaperoned by Miss Williams, the team, which consisted of Walter Blumenkrantz, Captain; James Christie, Thomas McCarron, Margaret Reed, Louise Buck, Pearl Bryant, and Samuel Levenstein, arrived in Philadel- phia and proceeded to the Peirce School. They arrived shortly before 10 A. M.. in time for the preliminary test. Each member was assigned to a different room and took a test in competition with representatives from thirty-six different schools of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The test was very difficult. Only seven of all the representatives made a perfect score. James Christie made 96%, and Walter Blumenkrantz made 98%. This made them eligible to compete in the finals held at Lit Brothers over WLIT. After the test, an invitation was given to every guest to partake of a delicious turkey The Team PEARL BRYANT LOUISE BUCK MARGARET REED THOMAS McCARRON JAMES CHRISTIE WALTER BLUMENKRANTZ SAMUEL LEVENSTEIN Placed Eighth in Team Contest -(35)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL James Christie WINNER OF THE 1930 INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIP of the PEIRCE BUSINESS SCHOOL’S ANNUAL SPELLING BEE dinner served in the school cafeteria. Fol- lowing this, a recess was held in the assem- bly, where an excellent orchestra played the latest song numbers, then the results of the team averages were announced. Chester was placed eighth, and each of our members wearing a big “8” on his back, competed against the other nine teams. The contest was very close. Egg Harbor, New Jersey, won first place. All of our entries were eliminated with the exception of James, who held up the laurels for our team. He was finally eliminated on “dishabille”. After the team contest, the forty-two eligible contestants and their respective teams jour- neyed to Lit Brothers, by bus, to enter the individual contest broadcast over WLIT at 4.30 P. M. Competing against forty-two of the best spellers of Penna, and New Jersey, James Christie, by spelling “filigree” correctly, won the individual spelling championship. For his seemly inexhaustible spelling ability, he was awarded a gold medal and a large silver plaque for the school. -(36)- We, the February class of 1931, take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the entire faculty for their patient help, cooperation, and untiring efforts in our mental, moral, and social betterment. We especially wish to recognize the valuable services, and time, given to us by our advisor, Miss Edna Wagner, whose guiding hand has made this, the February section a success. In years to come as we pause from our many diverse activities, and wistfully trace over, step by step, the happy scenes in which we each played a part, in our dear old Alma Mater, may this volume of treasures act as a magic carpet, to whisk us back to those times, when happiness reigned supreme. —(37)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL Annual Board, February, 1931 GEORGE W.

While in school, Dor- othy has always taken an active part in school affairs, and was our honorable vice-president. The person who becomes Dot's only one will be twice as lucky if he has a sweet tooth. TREASURER SECRETARY CATHARYN RISLER SUYDAM MATILDA EDITH METZ Catharvn reminds us of a mountain brook that, laughing and happy, persistently runs on to an ocean of usefulness and importance. There is no more active or loyal supporter of our school affairs than Cath- arvn ; she glories in root- ing for one of Chester’s teams. Her plan is to specialize in mathe- matics at Swarthmore College. When Upper Darby was the loser, we were lucky, in gaining our beloved Matilda. She has served as the class artist on several occa- sions. and has been ac- tive in Tri-Hi and in Literary Society. Tillie has chosen West Ches- ter State Teachers Col- lege to prepare for teaching. We often wish we could look into the future and congratulate the fortunate man! —(39)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL KATHERINE G. ARMSTRONG “Kay” NELLIE BERGER “Pat” Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce to you another of our fair and charming commercial students? Kay came to us from Smedley Junior High School, and cer- tainly has made our stay in Chester High a pleas- ant and enviable one. Ward Belmont, at Nash- ville. is Katherine’s des- tination, where she ex- pects to take up art. This demure young miss, from Eddystonc Grammar School, is now one of our charming commercial students. When not especially ac- tive in the Literary and Dramatic Societies, her favorite pastime is visit- ing parks and motor- ing in Fords. In the fu- ture we predict that Nellie will he very com- petent as Somebody’s Stenog.’’ LUCY MAY BAKER “Luc” HAROLD STRATTON BLISARD Blizz” Luc seems to be a very industrious, though quiet person. When she comes down the hall smiling, we know another high mark has been put down in that well known rec- ord book. Regardless of what is said. Lucy is sure to think of a re- tort to fit the occasion. We know that Luc will be a good, patient teacher. Here we have the freshman’s ideal — cap- tain of track and foot- ball. president of the Boys’ A.A., a member of the Dramatic, Debating and Literary Societies. Could one possibly be more active? Harold on the outside seems quite girl shy. hut inside a certain room, after school, he is perfectly at ease. We wonder? EVELYN BAYLIN “Shorty” Evelyn is a demure little miss who says con- siderably less than she knows. Like the wise old owl in the oak tree, she hears and secs the more because she talks so little. We’ll wager that, even though we don’t often hear Evelyn, now, we’ll hear of her some day as a highly successful secretary to a big busy business baron. HELEN IRENE BLOOM We have in Helen an- other lOtal Smedleyette. wl n bdncvcs that quict- nessNiJk golden : so not mlicit is heard from this deii M miss.

Helen’s steady }st nature will be of value in making bhosen career, oflice a success. -(40)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL ELIZABETH BOSSARD LILLIAN E. BROWN The better (?) halt of The Twins came to us from Smedlcy. As Jun- ior class treasurer, vice- president of the Liter- ary Society, and mem- ber of the Dramatic So- ciety. Elizabeth has proved her worth as well as her popularity. Elizabeth expects to pur- sue her studies at Weber College. We wonder How—it’s possible for someone to matriculate at a distant military col- lege— which probably explains the “traveling college. She’s very quiet and studious. “Who? you inquire, suspiciously. Lillian Brown, that’s who. But her friends know that she can hold her own on certain top- ics. She likes dancing, and may be added to the long list of movie-goers. Lillian turns her expec- tations towards college. KATHERINE BOSSARD Here we have the “Katz. Our queen lias been secretary of the History Club and has occupied the onerous position of class Spec- trum Representative. After being strenuously coaxed, she revealed the secret of her flowing conversation: she listens to Amos ’n Andy every night. Her classmates will always be ready to boost her, though we know she can climb without our help. JOSEPHINE BUTLER We never realized Bethel Township was capable of such a pro- duct as Josephine. En- rolled as a commer- cial student, she has be- come one of the most efficient and best of workers. The Social Service Society held her attention the first two years, and the Dramatic Society, the last two. Josephine has high hopes of becoming a stenog- rapher. JOHN GEORGE BOTTOMLEY THELMA B. CHARNOCK Here we have before us an aspiring newspa- per cartoonist. We have often wondered who the gifted person could be as on the blackboard be- fore us, we gazed at some ingenious work of art. John came to us from Franklin. He in- tends to take up draft- ing as his profession. Thelma is a brilliant spot in our class. Ask her to translate Latin, wrestle with algebra, ex- plain a chemistry exper- iment, or “tickle the ivories, and she will capably comply with each request. Thelma is such a quiet ( ? ) girl, you scarcely know she is around. She expects to attend Drexel, and then teach commercial stud- ies. OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL THOMAS CLENDENING “Tom” DOROTHY DILKS “Dot” Tom is a jolly fellow, full of vim and good sport. The unusual ease with which he goes through lessons, seems to leave time on his hands. In preparation for his future vocation, he is now an industrious drug store cowboy industry guarantees suc- cess. Tom is contem- plating entering the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy. Dot has upheld the high standards of her Alma Mater, Dewey Mann, most decidedly, by ranking among the highes: of her class. Al- though reserved, she possesses a most genial disposition. Reading is her favorite pastime. Dot says that after she has read and studied sufficiently, the teaching profession will claim her attention. DAVID COPSON “Dave” Dave is a big Lin wood society man, and little wonder; a better sport and companion we would not be able to find. His answers to questions nearly always stir up considerable discussion. Dave expects to swell the ranks of the engi- neers, with great pro- jects. someday—perhaps the building of sky- scrapers in Linwood. BARBARA ESTHER EBELL Have you ever been in the corridor at eight twenty-nine? Then sure- ly you have seen Babs’’ go dashing to her lock- er, closely followed by her trio. As a hobby she investigates blondes, and she loves to visit Hav- erford. Besides this. Babs is an indefatigable work- er for the class. Three cheers for her! JANET CORDERO Janet with her contin- uous bubbling over! Her enthusiasm and interest are shown by the tact that she has been an ac- tive member of most of the school organizations. All of us arc familiar with Janet’s pet expres- sion, b-dut-n-dut!” Her favorite study, of course, is chemistry? Janet likes roadsters, too— ’spe- cially a certain yellow one!

KENNETH FLEMMING Ken” Let us present one of the most interesting characters in our class— Ken,” who has the re- markable good nature of a cherub. He is a member of the Literary Society and the orches- tra. besides being sec- retary of the Hi-Y. A more enthusiastic sup- porter of athletics could not be found anywhere. Whatever his vocation is, after leaving here, we'll always follow him with interest. ALBERT FRANK “Egal” You wish to learn the technique of baseball? Just apply to this young man. the recorder of the Boys' A.A., and you will learn everything. Be prepared for a heated argument, for can he argue! Success cannot fail to trail Albert, wherever he hangs his hat. bo h at college and in his lifework. MARY E. FOLLETT Mary is another of our happy Hookers — a very dainty damsel, indeed. The only reason we don’t know her bet- ter is that her nose is usually buried in a book (not always a text book, either). Next to reading. Mary enjoys tripping the light fantastic. But how will she get a chance to indulge in cither hobby after she becomes a trained nurse? REA JEAN FRANK Surely, almos: every- one has either seen or heard of Rea. This brown eyed girl, from Dewey School, has taken a:i active part in the Literary and Debating Societies, and the An- nual Board. Rea makes up in spirit for what she lacks in size. She in- tends to study at the University of Pennsyl- vania. and perhaps later o burst into print as an editor. FRANCES FORSYTH LOUISE C. GALLAGER Picture a girl with dark hair, flashing eyes, and a spirit that bright- ens any blue Monday; thus we see Frances about school. Her hob- bies include swimming, and shows (when she doesn’t pay her own way). After graduation, she is going into train- ing at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. You crave athletic abil- ity? You want a real good pal?” You're in need of true fidelity? Then our Weczie” is your gal.” At cheer leading she’s simply great. The girl who's perpet- ually late; But this girl is truly first-rate; May she find an ap- preciative mate. —(43)— OUR NINETEEN T H I R T Y ANNUAL ISIDOR GILMAN “Izzy” “Gil” We have here another sport luminary. As half- back on the football team, Izzy was of de- cided value. His favorite hobby is walking, and it is believed Gil can out-distance anyone from Park Place into the city. I sidor expects to study medicine at Notre Dante and also, incidentally, football. GRAYCE HANNUM We hereby introduce a coy little maid who is. nevertheless, active in school affairs. She has served as our class rep- resentative to the Spec- trum and as a member of the Annual Board. Grayce is very versatile, especially in the arts. Have you ever seen a composition in passion- ate purple ink? Well, here is the composer. We have in Grayce an all round friend and companion. MANUEL M. GORDON “Gordon” Gordon's ability is not limited to any one thing ; he has shown profi- ciency in baseball, track, football, and basketball. The “Y” and the Stan- ley claim most of his spare time. Gordon thinks Alabama Univer- sity’s course in forestry offers him many oppor- tunities. His earnestness will eventually lead Gor- don to success, we feel sure. JANE WEINMANN HOSKINS “Janie” Continuously smiling, always joking, some- times studying, and never quarreling, is Jane. This young lady has taken an active part in the Literary and De- bating Societies, and also excels in her com- mercial work. We are all sure that Jane, after leaving high school, will be most successful in the business world. ROBERT C. GREEN “Bob” Bob was a consider- able addition to our class from Smedley. Although small. Bob has unbe- lievable qualities, having been rewarded fittingly for a brave action. His c� ther activities include the Hi-Y Club and Lit- erary Society. Intensely interested in aviation Bob is well acquainted with every branch, and some day he will prob- ably be flying high in the clouds. MARY HELEN IPPOL1TI Mary is brunette wl from Frankl School.

She is very studious, too, and has a pleasing per- sonality that wins for her many friends. Mar- garet will study physical education at Temple. After considering her athletic record, we can vouch for her success. OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL EDNA LYDAY Who is that girl with a twinkle in her eyes and dimples in her checks? Our Edna, of course, who has made our stay in C.H.S. a happy one by her cheery smile and bright word for everyone. Edna ex- pects to enter a Phila- delphia Training School. Lucky is he who finds that he has Edna for a nurse. JOHN McCLEARNEN John hails from great metropoli He is a quiet, appears, but know, will vOov.. him as a deseraiiig char- acter.

Here’s hoping she teaches some one the wedding march. —(46)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL DOROTHY ELIZABETH MOORE “Dot” Can’t you guess by her roguish little smile that Dot is a very cheerful and gay person? You’re right; she takes part in almost all the activities around school and is certainly a pleasing ad- dition. The same spirit will carry Dot success- fully through Eckel's school after graduation, we know. MARY ELEANOR PEMBERTON E1 e a n or ’ s w i n n i n g smile has won many ricnds for her during hi stay in C.H.S.

PIDCOCK Although Elizabeth is one of the quiet mem- bers of our class, she is also one of the most popular, having held nu- merous offices during her stay in school. Her hobby is collecting poems, and we often wonder if she ever gets sentimental over them. Elizabeth is undecided as to the future, but we know she will be suc- cessful in whatever she undertakes. HILDA OWENS Hilda is a vejry quiet, serious looking girl, but how looks deceive! She likes swimming and loves danmuf, especially, of course, £i)h a certain young man. Hilda is commercial etermined to ice or a home. Jhe wi 11 be the ELIZABETH TAYLOR PIKE “Piki ” Elizabeth came to us from tnc Franklin Gram- mar Schook� From all outward appearances, Pikie is’noiptTe of these moderni who avoid dai ypjTs “sweets.” As a yliiWnber of the Dra- inatic Society and the advertising board of the Spectrum, she has given ample proof of the old adage: “Good goods come in small packages.” -(47)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL MILDRED MAY SETH “Milly” Milly is a jolly com- rade and a good sport, as all her friends know. Mildred has taken part in the Dunbar Society, and Amitie Girl Re- serves. and is a member of the Annual Board. Her hobby is reading, and it may be a prepa- ration for the profession of teaching.

Whom have you heard say that before? Mini, of course. She made the Honor Roll once, but her name was overlook- ed ; so for revenge, she vowed never to make it again. Sad to say, she has kept her word. Mini's ambition changes with the hours. When last heard from she had decided on photography as her career. IDA DRAPER TAYLOR It is our pleasure to introduce a brown hair- ed. hazel eyed commer- cial student, from Frank- lin School. Like most quiet people, she enjoys reading. Ida pays strict attention to her studies, and some day will, un- doubtedly, be very com- petent as Somebody’s Stenog.” ELVED JOHN SHUPPAS “Shup” Actions speak louder than words, is Elved's philosophy, and as proof, he led us in our Fresh- man year as class presi- dent. and has been an important factor in other affairs about school. Al- though an experienced clerk, Shup is musically inclined. Penn State is likely to receive the talents of this worker. ELISE CECELIA THOMAS “Etc” This little curly head- ed, dignified, and indus- trious girl is none other than our own Elise. Ete has made the Honor Roll ever since she entered old C.H.S. She is also one of the few who have taken four years of Latin. Elise has been a basketball player, too. We hope Cicero will stand her in good stead in years to come. OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL MARY LOIS WELKER When Lois came to us from Smedley, we found a natural winner of prizes. She is a quiet, industrious girl: very fond of art. and to the delight of her class- mates, won second place with her May Market poster, in 1929. and won a Z-ro Ice Contest. Her vocation is not yet fully decided. MARIAN STINSON TOPP1N “Top” If ever you meet a lit- tle blonde girl with win- ning ways, and a very pleasant smile and a dimple, it is probably Marian. She hails from Franklin Grammar School. Her one ambi- tion is to teach school in New York (we won- der why (?) Top expects to enter West Chester Teachers’ College. DAVID WHITE “Dave” Ah! here we have it. Our dashing young Romeo intends to be a serious accountant. Dave is quite an athletic young man, and very active on a basketball floor. His hobbies are girls and sports. He’s a good illus- tration for the Palm- olive Company ads. We hope bending over led- gers won't make him lose that fine color. ETHEL LOUISE WARD Louise is one of our quiet members, but we know there are talents and qualities present that have not yet shown themselves. A book is your best friend,” is her philosophy. Louise, enrolled as a commercial student, has the desire to become a book- keeper. We wish her a successful and happy future. EVA WITLIN Dewey has a right to be proud of Eva. She has been active on the Annual Board, and Lit- erary and Dramatic So- cieties, besides having the highest average in the class. Eva expects to enter the University of Pennsylvania in prepa- ration for her life work as a mathematics teach- er. We know her stu- dents will like her, and learn a lot. —(49)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL A Social Register of the February Class, 1931 THE LOW DOWN ON WHO’S WHO COGNOMEN AVOCATION HABITAT REMARKS AMBITION Marguerite MacXainee Music Some candy shop One dime, please Stenog Elizabeth Pike Hiking Locker 218 'how do I know?” Own a “sweet shop Marian Toppin Riding Eddystone Everything A big city John McClearnen Swimming B. and ().

OUR NINETEEN T H I R T Y ANNUAL The Class History of February, 1931 Nineteen-twenty-seven was certainly a mo- mentous year in aviation: not only di l Lindy make his world famous flight across the At- lantic. but the class of '31 also started on their epic flight through the ethereal spaces of Learning, in their attempt to reach the land of Going-to-Be. With Elved Shuppas as the first pilot of the air squadron of ’31, Esther Levenstein as co-pilot. Barbara Ebell as the official recorder of the flight, and George Smith as controller of the purse strings, we took off from Dewey- Franklin-Ijarkin Grammar Field to heights unknown. It took nearly the whole year for most of us to become accustomed to the swirling motion of the planes. The only out- standing event of the first lap was the de- lightful airy reception tendered us by the Senior squadron. On the second lap of our journey new passengers joined our squadron from the Smedley and Booker T. Washington Fields. As we were constantly climbing higher and higher, and the air gaps were becoming more dangerous, many gave up the flight and re- turned to earth by means of the parachutes which had been provided in the take-off. We feared that our fleet might be separated while flying through the dense fogs; so each plane hoisted an emblem of garnet and gold. Meanwhile, one of our flyers, Harold Blis- ard, took the lead in the spring maneuvers, “The Duchess in Dutch”, while several others starred as master musicians in the ship's or- chestra. Soon storms began to beset our trip; bio- logical and geometrical lightning struck and temporarily disabled many of our crew, while thunder-bolts, gathering from many historical countries, France, Spain, Latium, and Eng- land, were hurled, at others, by Jupiter. With the beginning of our third year’s flight, the sphere became vague as the scien- tific mists began to enshroud us. Honors, in the form of rings, were bestowed upon those who survived the storms. As this lap of our voyage was drawing to a close, behold! A rainbow appeared, herald- ing the approach of our long-sought-for class party. Fun and gaiety for all! Our feet could not withstand the irresistible strains of Nicholas and His Five Pennies”. Sh!!!— Fortunes! Pretzels and root-beer! Aunt Je- mima and her grab-bag! Result—Whoopee!!! The last lap of our journey—and our fleet had dwindled to but two planes, numbers 28 and 217. But the steady drone of our mo- tors became more audible as our goal loomed on the horizon. We now placed the command of our small but trustworthy fleet in the hands of Admiral Charles Meyer: Real-Admiral Dorothy Mc- Bride: official recorder of the flight, Matilda Metz; and Catharvn Suydam, controller of the purse strings. We are contemplating our landing at Boll- ing Field. Washington, D. C. Will it be in the spring or the fall? President Hoover, in fact, all of Washington, will he on hand to greet us. We surely will need to visit the T reasury! As Matilda Metz glances through the pages of the official record of our winged flight, kept by various recorders (and they have been various), she reports that our class has been well represented in the many activities of our school. Some of these outstanding person- ages in athletics are Margaret Loper, Frances McNutt, Louise Gallager. Harold Blisard. Raymond Curry, Reese Crowe, Isidor Gil- man. William Kluse, George Smith: and last, but not least, the most persistent young man of our class. Manuel Gordon. George Smith is the assistant editor of the Spectrum, while many of 11s belong to the Dramatic, Literary, and Debating Societies. Within a few months our diminished fleet will arrive safely at the C. H. S. hangar in the land of Going-to-Be. We know that many of our flyers would never have weathered the storms if it had not been for the capable as- sistance and patience of our instructors. At last we shall receive our wings, which we trust will aid us in our coming voyages. JANET CORDERO.

H. S. '31 has landed us at the third port of our high school career, and we are now Juniors. At last we have been given a part in the doings of the school. We made a fresh start by electing as new officers: president. Stanley Goff; vice-presi- dent. Willard Gorby; secretary, Margaret Porter; and treasurer, Dorothy Kelley. Our class, we must admit, has been rather slow and has left most of its problems unset- tled until this year. We finally decided to get busy and solve these problems. As a result, committees have been appointed to look out for class colors, class rings, and ways and means to raise money. Nevertheless, the class of '31 has been active in the field of athletics, dramatics, de- bating, and music, and has many representa- tives on the Spectrum Board. David Curry and William Zaleski have won their C’s in football; Theodore Ebell and Theodore Gib- V1CE PRESIDENT WILLARD GORBY TREASURER DOROTHY KELLEY son, in track; Leda Elcenko has represented our class in hockey and basketball: Dorothy Sill, in hockey. We have won the following honors: we were the first tiA class to stage a debate in Debating Society; we had the best class Spec- trum, which contained many interesting in- terviews with famous people; we defeated a 12B debating team; we had the greatest number of people on the Honor Roll during the year 1928-29; Louise Buck is represent- ing our class in the spelling contest which is to take place at Peirce’s Business School. We want to thank Miss Murdock for her able assistance as our class adviser. May we have a pleasant trip to the goal toward which we have been striving, and ar- riving, may we make a great name for our- selves in the annals of history! HELEN L. RUTKOWSKI. BOYS CLASS OF JUNE ’31 OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Class History of February, 1932 PRESIDENT JAMES DOUGHERTY VICE PRESIDENT RICHARD WRIGHT SECRETARY LILLIAN KANE TREASURER DONALD DAVIDSON On tlie morning of January 28, 1928. we were seen heading toward Chester High School, our faces shining with soapy bright- ness, hair combed to slickness, shoes shined, and clothes really brushed. We were Fresh- men! The best that grammar schools could put forth ! We thought much of our position, until we entered the school where we found, to our dismay, that we were almost nothing. In a few weeks we were settled in our classes. What a thrill we had when an upper- classman cast a smiling glance in our direc- tion! In our first class meeting we elected as of- ficers the following: president, Henry Brisco: vice-president, Elizabeth Kane: secretary, Loretta Casson: treasurer. Samuel Warwick: Spectrum representative, Sara Pidcock. We also decided on our class colors; red, gray, and gold. In our Sophomore year we were joined bv the graduates of the Smedley and Washing- ton Junior High Schools. This addition gave an impetus to our interest in school activities. As officers to guide us through this year we elected the following: president, Howard Schroeder; vice-president, Milton Woodlyn: secretary, Lillian Kane: treasurer, Henry Brisco; Spectrum representative, Ann Ma- hon. Many of our students were represented in school athletics, and some received their numerals. We have now arrived in our Junior year. One half of our aim has been accomplished. Many have dropped from our ranks, but most of us are planning to seek even further for an education. Our class officers at present are president, James Dougherty; vice-president, Richard Wright: secretary, Lillian Kane, treasurer. Donald Davidson; Spectrum representative, Sara Pidcock.

The fol- lowing September these were joined by stu- dents of the junior high schools. In our first year we elected the following officers: Vincent Caruso, president; Joseph Bently, vice-president; Helen Byron, secre- tary ; and Ulrica Cosgrove, treasurer. Also, in conjunction with the February class of the same year we won a cup in a Spectrum sub- scription campaign. A few of our members went out for athletics and one of these, Joseph Young, succeeded in breaking a record. In the present year the class put into office the following: Jorell Kelley, president; Iola Bunce, vice-president; Helen Byron, secre- tary : and Vincent Caruso, treasurer. Among our members, more have gone out for ath- letic teams and quite a number have con- nected themselves with some of the various organizations of the school. 'Phe class is looking forward to the final two years of high school with highest hopes and expectations. JORELL L.

Ye were not very long in be- coming accustomed to our surroundings, and awe turned into pride. Ye have now been joined by the graduates of Smedley and Wash- ington Junior High Schools, also suburban schools, who undoubtedly are developing the same pride toward our Alma Master. For our first year, the following class offic- ers served: president. Samuel Goldstein : vice- president. Lillian Panish; secretary, Mary Minnick; treasurer, Emily Elzey; Spectrum representative, David Phillips. On February 28. we held a meeting in order to elect our new officers. The following wevre chosen: president, David Phillips: vice-president, Em- ily Elzev: secretary, Elizabeth Taylor; treas- urer, Edward Rash : Spectrum representative, Lillian Panish. We are known as a regular melting pot. and with the co-operation of all students, we hope to keep up the good work of Chester High School. MARY M1NNICK. Secretary. OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Class History of June, 1933 PRESIDENT FRANK STAUS VICE PRESIDENT MILDRED BURLEY SECRETARY JOHN COYLE TREASURER MARY DEARY We, the freshmen, have enjoyed every mo- ment since arriving; in September, 1929. We felt as though we were to be picked on and regarded as plain, low-down freshmen; but this was not true. The class was soon taking part in all the activities of the school. The boys bad a foot- ball team which developed material that will be for the major team in later years. The girls had a good hockey team. The Freshman Reception given by the Se- niors made us feel that they were with us and ready to help us. In 9A we had no officers. But as 9B’s the class of ’33 elected as follows: president, Frank Stans: vice president, Mildred Burley: treasurer, Mary Deary; secretary, John Coyle. The officers will try to live up to their standards by doing their best. We intend to make the class of 1933 a good class and one of which Chester High School will be proud. FRANK STAUS.

February i, 1930: a group of stupid freshmen ready to challenge Chester High School with all its troubles, and hardships, joys, and pleasures. We were led into the auditorium and heard a few remarks from Mr. Pedlow. We then had the freedom of the building for the rest of the day. The next day was different, as we were lost and embarrassed. At our first class meeting, containing eightv-five members, we elected the following officers: president, James Smitham; vice- president, Stella Nichols; secretary, Cecelia Domzlaski; treasurer, John Gorham. Our advisers are Miss Cassell and Mr. De Haas. JAMES SMITHAM. t —(59)— -(60)- W OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL THE SPECTRUM The year 1930 might be considered one of the most notable periods in the career of the Spectrum. Like any periodical with a kindly purpose and the aim to interest students of all degrees of intelligence, with diversified likes and dislikes, it has become one of the most anticipated works which the students produce. From the days when the Spectrum was born to Chester High School, in the form of a minute mimeographed paper, until the present day when it is proudly exhibited as a forty- four to forty-eight page printed magazine, there has been a continual struggle for im- provement. We can proudly divulge the fact thrt the Spectrum has achieved all ends at- tempted : and that its present development is but an upward step toward the top to which it steadily rises. The Spectrum represents the work of the students. It evidences the actual genius and talented writer, and inspires him to prepare for the work for which he is fitted. It clothes him with a business responsibility, and it introduces him. for the first time, to actual contact with the business man. It symbolizes an educational advance greater in height and of a sounder basis than any we have previously attained. Our practical experience is so well grounded as to lay the foundation for a pros- perous future life. Our last number, the May issue, will have completed the thirty-first volume of the Spec- trum. The attractive pages used in this volume are of a singular variety, and of an attractive subject. Fach has dealt with some current topic, suitable to the time of the year. We have also introduced a high grade of yellow antique paper. We have illustrated our literary department with sketches describ- ing the article. Every member has made a persistent effort to recognize his depart- ment : it might safely be said that each editor has added a little to that to which his pre- decessor aspired, and has produced a note- worthy and highly commendable column. ith so active a board, the Spectrum could not help itself; it had to prosper. Our circu- lation, under capable management, has in- creased surprisingly, in accordance with the enthusiasm of the students. 'Phe first Spectrum Press Conference was held this year in our school. Business men. members of neighboring school publications, school officials, and the Spectrum staff at- tended. A11 attractive and appetizing lunch- eon was served, and later was followed bv inspiring speeches by the guests. We began the year by permitting other classes to take charge of an issue. Two younger classes actually managed an issue very efficiently. The 11 B class took over the Christmas number and produced a unique publication. The 11A class, handling the January issue, turned out a very attractive book, devoted to interviews with celebrities and people of literary fame. One of their greatest accomplishments was an interview with the celebrated Christopher Morley, and also with the much discussed and admired Joan Lowell, author of “The Cradle of the Dee]).” Later issues were worked with the usual contributory system, in which the works of all classes were accepted. It is the earnest wish of the Spectrum Board that the succeeding staff may receive the cooperation of its members, and the gen- eral good will of the public in continuing and improving the work undertaken.

The Boys' Athletic Association wishes to thank Mr. Smithers and the others who have helped to bring the association through a strenuous season so successfully. HAROLD BLISARD. The Girls’ Athletic Association All girls’ sports in Chester High School are supported by the girls' A. A. The association this year had a membership of about one hundred and sixty. The officers were: Eliza- beth Provan, president; Dorothea Burley, vice president; Frances McNutt, secretary; Leda Elcenko, treasurer; Mary Bergan. basketball manager; Iola Bunce, hockey manager; and Dorothy Kelly, Spectrum rep- resentative. The organization has a track meet and swimming meet planned for the spring to col- laborate with hockey and basketball. The Debating Society The Debating Society this year began its career by electing the following competent people as officers: Robert Worrell, president; Clyde Dalton, first vice president: Louise Buck, second vice president; May Roder, secretary; and Joseph Albanese, Bible reader. In the mid-year, due to the graduation of some of the officers, Clyde Dalton became president and Ruth Swerman, secretary. At practically every meeting, either brilliant de- bates or fine extemporaneous speeches have taken place. On the evening of January 9, a public in- terclass debate was represented by the 12A and 12B teams. The subject was Resolved, Chain stores, as now conducted, are detri- mental to the best interests of the American people. '1'he I2A’s, who upheld the affirm- ative side, comprised Clyde Dalton, Margaret Fife, Harry Kaplan, captain, and John Lilley, alternate. The negative was upheld by the I2B's; Samuel Tollen, May Roder, Anna Louise Jones, captain, and William Pierce, alternate. The i2B's. as the victors, received gold medals from the Literary Society. Sil- ver medals, donated by Edwin B. Kelley, were presented to the I2A’s. Musical numbers were furnished by Blanche Randleman and Herman Mailman. During the second semester, the Debating Society is planning to hold an extempora- neous speaking contest. RUTH SWERMAN. -(64)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Dramatic Society —x— The Dramatic Society has been very active this year, having presented imny excellent programs. The officers are: president, Wesley Ped- low; vice president, Ray Curry: secretary- treasurer, Mary McCahe. The first play presented was “The Ex- change . by Althea Thurston, at the Freshman Reception and also at the November meeting of the society. All sorts of weird and unique objects formed the setting for a magician's shop in “The Vanishing Princess”, a play by John Golden, which was the contribution of the Dramatic Society to the Christmas enter- tainment. The Pot Boiler”, by Alice Ger- senberg. presented at the February meeting, gave us an idea of the hardships of a play- wiight directing a cast of temperamental actors and actresses. The tryout system for selecting these play characters was inaugurat- ed this year. The society is looking forward eagerly to the spring play, for which we hope to have new stage draperies and better lighting effects. MARY McCABE. The Glee Clubs The Girls' Glee Club was organized in Feb- ruary, and the following officers were elected: president, Helen Clayton: vice president. Sarah Way ; secretary and treasurer, Dorothea Burley; librarian, Helen Custer; managers, Ruth Swerman and Hazel Kemmerley. The Glee Club for this year consists of all girls who have previously belonged, and a few others from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes, who have passed vocal tests. The Freshman girls are being trained in a separate group, so that they may be pre- pared to take the places of the graduating girls. The Male Quartet, consisting of William Isaacson, first tenor: Joseph Albanese, second tenor: Kenneth Waltman, baritone : Raymond Curry, bass, made its first public appearance at the football banquet. Since that time, it has been practising regularly, and we expect to hear our quartet again soon. HELEN CLAYTON. The Library Club The Library Club is an active factor in Chester High School. This club extends its membership to any student in the school. Our meetings are spent in discussing good liter- ature. and in presenting little sketches from the lives of famous authors. Later, we plan to make a study of library methods. The Library Club was organized under the direction of Miss Thompson, the librarian, having the following officers: president, Na- thanial Plafker; secretary, Helen Byron: treasurer, Evelyn Gaines. Recently we sponsored a most successful bake. We have used the proceeds of this bake to buy some fine new fiction, which should make the library attractive for all. These new books were prepared under the direction of Miss Thompson for circulation. Very shortly we expect to visit many places of literary interest in the neighboring districts, chief among which is the Philadelphia Free Library. Our sincere wish is that more students will become interested in the Library Club. We wish to express our appreciation to Miss Thompson for her generous assistance throughout the year. NATHANIEL PLAFKER. -(65)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL The Literary Society The object of the Literary Society, as Miss Williams has so aptly phrased it, is to be to the English class, what the laboratory is to the chemistry or physics class—a guide, a supplement, an aid. It helps one to develop a real appreciation of literature in all its phases. Because of the growth of the school, this year an innovation has been made in the or- ganization of the society, making membership voluntary rather than compulsory. How- ever, attendance at all times has been excel- lently maintained. The officers are as fol- lows : president. Wesley Pedlow; vice presi- dent. Elizabeth Bossard: secretary. Louise Buck: director of music, Kenneth Waltman. Many very interesting programs have been given during the year, and they have been thoroughly enjoyed by the members. Several contests have also been held under the auspices of the Literary Society. The an- nual interclass debate was won by the Febru- ary '30 class. A new one was also introduced in January, a 12B Oratorical Contest. Sarah Marder’s oration, “Modern Women”, won first prize, and “The Future of Palestine , delivered by Alyce Baylin won second prize. Many thanks are due to Miss Williams and the other teachers and pupils who have so aided in making these meetings a success. LOUISE BUCK. The Local History Club —x— In 1925, the Local History Club was org- anized for the purpose of studying past events which have influenced our local history. Since that time, this organization has steadily grown. It has been the custom of the Local His- tory Club to have authoritative speakers give lectures of historical interest occasionally. At times when the weather has permitted, our members have visited places of local historical interest. We plan to continue these hikes in the spring. The present officers of this club are: Paul Felton, president; Emilie Bullock, vice presi- dent : Katharine Bossard. secretary and treas- urer; and Carolyn Amundsen, Spectrum rep- resentative. The Local History Club owes much to Miss Jackson, head of the history department, for the splendid interest and cooperation which she has shown in all of our undertakings. CAROLYN AMUNDSEN. The Orchestra The Chester High School Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Charles D. Long and Mr. Lewis R. Zelley, is one of the most valu- able organizations in the school. It has play- ed on numerous occasions for public affairs, and is assisting in chapel exercises. Our orchestra, consisting of thirty pieces, organized early in the school year, and the following officers were elected: president, Herman Mailman; vice president. Harry Darr; secretary, Helen Clayton; treasurer, Margaret Miller; manager, Vincent Caruso. This has been a most successful year for the orchestra, and we have completed a wide range of musical numbers. HELEN CLAYTON. -(66)- —(67)— Starting the season following the summer vacation, about forty-two boys reported for practice in Crozer Park under the watchful eye of the Coach, “Babe” Buono. No captain had been elected; so the election was held before the first game, William Kluse being elected. In the ten games played this season we have won six and lost four. Our opponents scored 82 points; we scored 92 points. Our eleven defeated Glen-Nor, Col- Iingdale, Upper Darby, Wilmington, West Chester, and Media. We were defeated by Easton. Lansdowne, Norristown, Ridley Park. The outlook for the coming year is fair. Among the letter men lost by graduation and eight semester rule are Dominick Marion, fullback; William Kluse, captain and quar- terback; Dunlap, center; Yakonis, end; Ray Cmry, center; Roland Smith, end; Joseph Vankoski, guard; Frank Snyder, end. Our first game was played at Easton be- fore a large crowd. We failed to win; the score was 33-6. Our second game was a repetition of the first; we were defeated by Ridley Park for the first time in six years, the score being 19-0; the next game we defeated Glen-Nor, 6-0; and the following week we defeated Upper Darby with a much smaller team than usual, owing to sickness and ineligibles, the score being 7-0. The team journeyed to Norristown, only to meet defeat by the score of 16-6. Then came one of the biggest games of the year, the game with Wilmington, Chester coming out on top, through her fine defen- sive and offensive work. The score was 7-0. We defeated West Chester the following week at the P. M. C. stadium by the score of 16-6. Lansdowne defeated us, 8-0, on a muddy and slippery field. Collingdale was defeated in an easy manner bv the score of 25;0. The final and most anticipated game of the year, the game with Media, was played before a large crowd, on the gridiron of the Pennsyl- vania .Military College. Media's inability to stop the running attack of Chester, and pass Marion, who played a wonderful defensive and offensive game, was the reason. The final score was 19-0. Harold Blisard has been elected captain for the coming season. Joseph Conte has been elected manager. We extend our wishes for a successful season to the team, coach, and manager. -(69)- BASKETBALL Seven regulars from last year’s basketball team answered the call for candidates: Cap- tain-elect Baxter, Snyder, Curry, Scott, Mee- nan, Howley and Turkington. Among the new men were Gilman, Crowe. Green, David- son and Ewaka. The opening game with Norristown proved disastrous to our boys (45 to i6). Ridley Park defeated us also, 36 to 24. Then follow- ed two close victories over Abington and Swarthmore, with scores of 17 to 13, and 26 to 24. A long losing streak resulted in defeats by these teams: Haverford, 21-20: Lower Mer- ion, 63 to 10: Swarthmore Preparatory School, 20 to 18; Upper Darby, 27 to 20: Norristown, 31 to 29; Wilmington, 31 to 28. The second Abington game, a thrilling one. broke the losing streak. 22 to 20: but Col- lingdale defeated us. 21 to 16. We won from Haverford, 30 to 20. but lost to P. M. C. Varsity Junior, 38-30: the Media team also defeated 11s. Our quintet gave a hard fight to Lower Merion. champions of the A. League, but lost 33 to 14. Upper Darby defeated us, 25 to 15. this defeat putting 11s out of the race in the Kiwanis tournament. The 1930 basketball season, although not highly successful, was, nevertheless, very in- teresting. -(70)— OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL BASEBALL Coach - Alfred Buono Captain - - - Stuart Meenan Manager - - - Albert Smith A large number of candidates responded when Coach “Babe Buono issued a call, early in April, for baseball aspirants. Practice was seriously underway even before Easter vacation. Our first game with Upper Darby resulted in a setback by the score of 9 to 8. This defeat, however, was only an incentive to our boys, and made them more determined than ever to come through. This spirit resulted in their overcoming the strong squad front 1 laverford by an 8 to 7 score. Chester's schedule includes most of the strongest teams in this section of the state. With the proper grooming and seasoning it is not improbable that we will pull through among the leaders. ihe backstop position is being capably handled by Calvin Heisner and “Chick” Bradlev. Captain “Stew Meenan forms the mainstav of the pitching corps, while Paul Veach is a very promising protege. Burke covers the initial sack with Babe at second, and Dave White covering the hot corner. The infield is complete with Lee at shortstop. The outfield consists of Lord at center, flanked by Crowe and Clegg. Lynch is always on hand in the pinches.

Arbegast Captain - - - Harold Blissard Manager - - - William Taylor Coach Arbegast s call for track candidates met with a .very weak re- sponse with only a few veterans reporting. Nevertheless, the coach proved his worth by whipping into shape a very encouraging outfit. In the Lansdowne Interscholastics Chester placed third with 16 points, trailing Upper Darby with 21 points and Haverford with 18. Michael Ewaka won the individual cup for making the highest number of points. He won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes in competition with the liest men from all Delaware County high schools. Theodore Ebell, leading from the start, won the mile run, coming in far ahead of his nearest com- petitor. Cross-Country 1929 Captain—Joseph Young. Manager—William Taylor. Coach—W. L. Arbegast. Assistant Manager—Walter Matkowski. inner of Varsity C—Joseph Young. Winners of cCc: Theodore Ebell, Hur- lock Smith, Alexander Ward, Theodore Gib- son. We lost our first meet to Upper Darby by a close score. One week later the boys found themselves and showed a complete reversal of form, winning a decisive victory from West Girls’ Hockey, though just introduced into Ches- ter High a few years ago, is becoming one of the major sports of our school. Miss Pittenger coached the teams this year. The girls practiced at Smedlev Field. The team was regular in its practice and displayed exceptionally fine work. Chester. It was in this meet that Captain Young, running easily, came within 5 seconds of breaking their course record. Against Ridley Park in the last meet of the season, the Chester warriors turned in a perfect score, taking all ten places. Captain Young was a very dependable member of the team, as were Ebell. Smith, and Gibson. With the excep- tion of Young, who starred last year, practic- ally all other members of the team were run- ning for their first time. When this fact is considered, a season of two victories out of three starts is a notable achievement. Hockey We played one game with Nether Provi- dence. The teams were well matched, but despite our strenuous efforts we were defeated by the score of three to one. The girls who played in the interscholastic games are to be awarded letters. -(72)- OUR NINETEEN THIRTY ANNUAL Girls’ Basket Ball On January 7. 1930, in Trinity Hall. Chester High School girls opened what proved to he a very successful season, by a game with Norristown. The girls defeated their opponents, 20 to 9. Victories over Swarthmore and Media followed. Then Chester lost to Lansdowne by only two points, and the following week bowed to Darby by the close score of 18 to 17. A victory with Collingdale followed, but the next week, on the return game, the Orange and Black girls were defeated by Media. In the last two games, Chester defeated Norristown and Darby, thus ending the season with five vic- tories and only three defeats. The first team was captained the first half of the season by Louise De Blasus, and in the remaining portion by Ruth Plafker. The girls receiving their letters are Margaret To- per, Elizabeth Provan, Bertha Loferdzink, Juanita Bishop, Lida Elcenko, Francis Mc- Nutt. Ruth Plafker, and Mary Bergan, man- ager.
