THE ANNUAL Tublis hed Yearly by The SENIOR CLASS of CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL Chester, 'Pennsylvania Trice Twenty-Jive Qents Ter Qopy Ot' S a survey of the work accomplished by Chester High School in the passing year, and as a record of our classes, we the classes of June, 1932, and February, 1933, have prepared this Annual. It has been said, “Blest be the tie that binds.’’ May this Annual be a tie binding us to pleasant memories of happy days spent under the protec- tion of the dignified and majestic walls of our Alma Mater. . 2ECAUSE she has enlightened scores of senior classes on the mysteries of physics; because it has been an honor to have had such a splendid teacher as the instrument of our enlightenment, but, above all, because of her long and faithful service to our Alma Mater and community, we, the class of 1932, dedicate this Annual to Miss Laura E. Reaney, head of the science department. 4 THE ANNUAL Our friend and adviser PRINCIPAL, GEORGE W. PEDLOW George W. Pedlow Principal J.

THE ANNUAL 25 CLASS HISTORY OF FEBRUARY, 1933 Though it is customary for each senior class to compose a formal his- tory of its deeds and misdeeds dur- ing the years spent in Chester High School, we feel that informal notes are more appropriate—a brief, sug- gestive record of our stay here. The history itself, in ten or more volumes, will appear in 1983. Things we’ll try to forget: Loss of 117 members by the wayside (net loss, 64) Freshman reception (refreshments at our expense) Reluctant return each September Tests Bad marks Scoldings Compulsory office visits Detentions Pursuing big bugs and furtive flowers for biology Our first debates The poverty-stricken treasury Struggle over pennants Clash over pins and rings Twenty-four eligible to vote Home room meetings 1931 football season 12A-12B baseball (1-12) Crowded school, in senior year Woebegone faces of homeless Fresh- men The tall talkers’ trio: J. R., B. B., R. R. The effect of spring on certain mem- bers Gymnasium-less school Frantic struggles to raise funds for Washington trip We have achieved something, left much undone; suffered keenly, en- joyed deeply. If we have left some slight lasting imprint on the life of Chester High School, as our sojourn here has made a permanent impres- sion on us, we shall feel that we have not spent here in vain the four hap- piest years of our lives. Things we want to remember: Gain of 53 from other sources (especially some!) Freshman reception (entertainment by seniors) All vacations Exemptions Good marks (if any) Praise (?) Errands (escape from class) Early dismissals That “superior feeling” in sophomore year Spring plays, with our classmates in casts Junior Prom—($5 profit!) Famous cafeteria election (peaceful, you remember!) Senior election Home room organization Student Council installation 1931 football team Thanksgiving Day games with Media Earlier dismissals for seniors Protracted locker conferences The prowess of Norman in track, Willamay in art, Joe in cheerleading, Bob M. in “physiography,” Dwight and Walter in acting, Ruth and Guido in music, Steve and Paul in science, Howard, Sonia, Leah Lucinda in scholarship.

The High School Orchestra opened the program with Chamber’s march, “The North Wind.” The in- vocation was pronounced by the Rev. Herbert Weaver of Trinity Lutheran Church. A short address was deliv- ered by Dr. David A. Ward, Super- intendent of Schools, after which a selection by the orchestra, “The White Queen,” was given. In commemoration of George Washington’s two hundredth birth- day anniversary, members of the class presented a most enlightening and appropriate project. The pres- entation, the theme of which was “George Washington,” consisted of nine parts. Milton Woodlen spoke on the “Ancestx-y of George Washington.” “Washington’s Love for Children” was the topic chosen by Kathryn Haas. A subject of particular inter- est was “Washington’s Visits to Chester,” given by Wanda Dorszew- ski. A selection, “Yankee Doodle,” as popular in Washington’s time as it is today, was played by the High School Orchestra. Robert Reichenbach clearly por- trayed “Washington’s Career as a Surveyor.” A particularly entertain- ing part of the project was “Music of the Revolutionary Period,” pre- sented by Kathryn Dulin. The songs and hymns popular during that time were illustrated by Dorothy Detwiler at the xylophone. Julian Levin deliv- ered selections from Washington’s famous “Farewell Address.” In fur- ther keeping with the program was Green’s “Tribute to Washington,” by Blanche Greenstein. Mr. George W. Pedlow, principal of the High School, presented awards to outstanding members of the Feb- ruary class. Mr. Charles P. Larkin, President of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas. Ruth Isaacs, Feb., ’32. 1 VIINNV 3 H X 08 THE ANNUAL___________________________31 SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS SWI DRAMATIC SOCIETY This has been a very active yeir for the Dramatic Society. Three meet- ings have been given over to enter- tainers from outside the school. Mrs. Eliza Ulrich Ullman, of Swarthmore, gave as a reading, “The Florist’s Shop”; Mr. Joseph Mitchell, of Phila- delphia, spoke concerning make-up. At the April meeting a marionette program was presented by Mrs. Wil- liam Price. Four plays have been presented, of which two were given for the society members alone: “The Crosc Stitch Heart,” by Rachel Field, and “Two Crooks and a Lady,” by Eugene Pil- lot. The Christmas play, an interpreta- tion of Dickens’, “A Christmas Carol,” was open to the entire school, and was given before the beginning of the mid-winter holidays. The climax of the season was the annual spring play,“Green Stockings,” by A. E. W. Mason. This was pre- sented for two evenings before large audiences, and enabled the society to net a good sum for the scholarship fund. The officers of the Dramatic So- ciety are: James Pidcock, president; first vice-president, Joseph O’Brien; second vice-president, Jesse Brund- age; secretary and treasurer, Verdie Turner. Joseph O’Brien, Feb., ’33. THE HISTORY CLUB The History Club, a club which was formed to increase interest in county and city history, has been exception- ally busy this term touching the life of George Washington and his times. David Phillips, our retiring presi- dent, left us in February, and John Kane, our vice-president, became the presiding officer. At our first meeting of the spring term, the following officers took charge: president, John Kane; vice- president, Drayton Harrison; secre- tary, Mary Minnick; treasurer, Wil- liam Howland; executive committee, Dorothea Schaeffer, Anna Palombo, Frank Staus, Alice Anmuth and Al- bert Morton. The activities consist of interest- ing plays, speeches and talks about historical subjects related to Dela- ware County and Chester. One of the outstanding plays was, “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” which was given in chapel. Of course, the success of this club is due not only to the students’ co- operation, but to the wonderful help and advice given by the faculty ad- visers, Miss Jackson and Miss Cas- sell. We wish to thank them heartily for their guidance through the year. Mary Minnick, Secretary. zz TVflNNV 3 H X THE ANNUAL MUSIC CLUBS 33 MUSIC CLUBS The Annual wishes in this inade- quate space to offer praise of the work of the music clubs in Chester High School. Interscholastic track, and baseball have passed, but against surprising odds, extra - curricular music has remained, and to say the least, suffered no losses by the over- lapping schedule. Day after day, the orchestra members offer their time to play for chapel. Students in plays cannot perform to the best of their abilities without the confidence real- ized from seeing the orchestra mem- bers seated in the pit. Debates or oratorical contests are not considered successful unless the orchestra ren- ders a few selections. Even at such times when gatherings meet in the auditorium, having little or no con- nection with the school, the music clubs are relied upon for the enter- tainment. Such marvelous development in this very important phase of school activity has taken place within the last three years, with Mr. Long di- recting the vocal groups, and Mr. Zelley, the instrumental. Chester High can well open the windows and throw out her chest, boasting of her music activities. The crowning achievement comes when all the music clubs combine to display their full resources in the annual Spring Concert to be held this year on May 19. Instrumental The foremost of this group, of course, is the orchestra, composed of forty members, admitted by virtue of an examination. The officers for 1932 are as follows: president, Jorell Kelley; vice president, Edward Conn; secretary-treasurer, Harry MacPher- son; manager, Michael Fusco; libra- rian, Gilbert Hosier. In its repertoire the orchestra can be proud of such difficult works as “Raymond Over- ture,” by Thomas, and “Hungarian Danses,” by Brahms. Supplying the music for the foot- ball games and athletic events is the band, picturesquely uniformed in orange and black. By no means lower in rank is the String Quartet, composed of Michael Fusco, Jorell Kelley, Samuel Johnson, and Michael Caruso, whose classic interpretations are always well re- ceived. VOCAL It was not long ago that very few in Chester High School knew they had such a thing as a larnyx, espe- cially the masculine element, but with the advent of the Boys’ Glee Club, Dunbar Octette, and Girls’ Glee Club, from which a Girls’ Sextette is chosen, many “listeners” came into their own as they realized their vocal abilities. Nothing makes us believe that the music clubs have reached the peak of their development, for musically, they have “worlds to conquer,” but we must admit they have made a grand and glorious beginning. David D. Phillips, June, ’32. 34 THE ANNUAL THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club is a musical organization made up of forty girls selected from all four classes of the school by Mr. Long, the music super- visor. A rehearsal is held weekly. The officers of the club are Dolores Howley, president; Genevieve Bishop, vice president; Marian Kahler, sec- retary-treasurer; Alice Burns, libra- rian; and Bernice Beswick and Mil- dred Dubois, accompanists. The Girls’ Sextet, Edith Heffelfin- ger, Dorothy Gunn, Dolores Howley, Jane Brewer, Genevieve Bishop, and Ruth Wood, is sponsored by the Glee Club. This group offers selections for assembly programs, Christmas broad- cast, parent and teachers’ meetings, and all special occasions. Both fne Glee Club and the Girls’ Sextette will appear in the spring concert on May 19. Genevieve Bishop, June, ’32. SWTiSWT) VERGIL SOCIETY Although the Vergil Society can- not boast of a large percentage of members, it provides many interest- ing performances at the meetings. This is a club for students taking twelfth grade Latin, and it works directly under the capable supervi- sion of Miss Birtwell. The officers are president, Lawrence Buck; vice president, John Musial; secretary- treasurer, Jane Lawton. Dramatic sketches intended to em- phasize certain parts of the story of the “Aeneid” have been presented by members of the society. Readings on the history of the reign of Augustus have been reported by the president, Lawrence Buck. Pictures pertaining to the “Aeneid” were shown by Mr. George, and each slide was described by members of the society. The sketches which were presented during the year were “Profit of Peace,” “Breach of Promise,” and a modernized radio broadcast. Jane Lawton, June, ’32. TRI-HI Tri-Hi’s weekly Monday night meet- ings have proved to be a success with the symbolic code to guide the fun- loving girls on gay adventures of va- rious types. The purpose of Tri-Hi is: “I will try to face life squarely and to find and give the best.” The better things have been found in a colorful wheel of helpful and social activities. There have been fashion shows, literary programs, dramatic programs, supper meetings with Hi-Y, hikes, straw rides, camping trips, dances, and rec- ognition services. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Iola Bunce; vice-president, Verdie Turner; treasurer, Jane Lawton; secretary, Helen Byron; chairman of member- ship, Ruth Bunce; chairman of pub- licity, Margaret Peel. The advisers were: Miss Bliss, Miss Hunter, Miss Oliver, Miss Benjamin and Miss Car- roll. Helen Byron, Secretary, Feb., ’33. 36 THE ANNUAL JUNIOR ROTARY CLUB The Junior Rotary Club, which meets at dinner every other week in the Chester Club, is the first organi- zation of its kind in the world and is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Chester with the purpose of prepar- ing boys for future service to their community. The members of this organization were selected from the boys of the high school on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and school activities. The club has a membership of twenty-seven boys, Jorell Kelley be- ing president, and Harry Nyce, vice president. Mr. Clifford Peoples, a member of the local Rotary Club, is the club’s adviser, and with his fine co-operation the meetings have been very interesting. John Kane, June, ’32, Secretary. HI-Y CLUB The Chester Senior Hi-Y Club is still carrying on its efforts to create and maintain throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. For many years, thei-e has been a Hi-Y Club in Chester High School. It has become bigger and better through the years, and has tried to help the school in every way. The club spon- sored a Sportsmanship Campaign to bring good sportsmanship and school spirit back to Chester High School. The Hi-Y started a new feature in its regular annual program by having a Teachers’ Night. The high school faculty was invited to attend a regu- lar business meeting and see how the club functioned. The Hi-Y Club began its usual weekly meetings with suppers on October 5, with the following new officers in charge: James Brown, president; Harry Montgomery, first vice president; Jesse Brundage, sec- ond vice president; Walter Matkow- ski, secretary; and Harvey Northam, treasurer. The following advisers took charge of the class discussion groups: Mr. Charles P. Larkin, senior group; Mr. Matthew Rankin, junior group; Mr. George Lange, sophomore group; and Mr. Watson Pedlow, freshman group. Mr. Bupp, the boys’ secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is the head adviser. He has done much in making the Hi-Y Club a success for the past two years. The class discussion groups are the main feature of the Hi-Y meetings. Problems that arise in the boys’ school life, questions about future education, religion, and personal questions are answered and discussed. The average attendance for the past six months is fifty-two, with a roll of approximately sixty-five. Walter Matkowski, Secretary. NEWSWRITER’S CLUB The Newswriters’ Club was organ- ized in 1931. Miss Williams, who is the faculty adviser of the student publications, supervises the club. The purpose of the club is to stim- ulate among the pupils an interest in journalism, and to make a study of that subject. The textbook which is used is “School Press Management and Style,” by Lambert Greenawalt. Members of the “Spectrum” and “Welcome” staffs and any others who are interested belong to the club. Regular weekly meetings are held in which those students who write for the publications receive much valu- able training. Anna Smith, June, ’32. THE ANNUAL 37 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Chester High School held its first meeting on October 1, 1931, and the fo'lowing of- ficers were elected: president, Alex- ander Brown; vice-president, James Doherty; secretary, Elizabeth Fox; treasurer, Sol Gold. The committees were: school spirit, awards, program, sanitation, public- ity, traffic, and property. Each chair- man selected three members to serve on his committee. The term was filled with busy meet- ings, and with group work. The pub- licity committee sponsored the Fresh- man Reception with great satisfac- tion to all. The school spirit commit- tee prepared for the “pep” meetings for the football season. The traffic and sanitation committees were also very active in their work. Awards were given to four out- standing students of the graduating class and also a plaque was awarded to the home room with the highest average. The home room winning the plaque was 101. Helen Byron, Feb., ’33. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club under the guidance of its advisers, Mr. Smithers and Mr. Lange, has con- ducted some very interesting and lively bi-weekly meetings. Timely topics of importance have been dis- cussed so as to acquaint the members more closely with these world events, which cannot be studied during the regular class periods. At one of its meetings, the club was favored by the presence of Pro- fessor Rubin E. Harkness, of Crozer Seminary. He enlightened the mem- bers on the subject of “War Debts and Their Cancellation.” A Demo- cratic National Convention was the feature of a recent meeting. Stump speeches, followed by nomination of various candidates for presidency, were given by various students. A straw vote was taken, and by a series of balloting “Alfalfa Bill” Murray was nominated. The present officers are president, George Stroud; vice president, Helen Byron; secretary, Iola Bunce; and Bible-reader, Robert Turkington. George M. Stroud, June, ’32. 38 THE ANNUAL THE ANNUAL 39 BOYS’ A. A. One of the most important organi- zations in the school is the Boys’ Athletic Association. The primary function of the association is to sup- port and equip the various athletic teams of the school. This year the A. A. has been head- ed by “Gope” Howley, prominent in athletic circles. Other officers are John Maloy, vice president; Joe Dig- gins, treasurer; Howard Schroeder, secretary. Mr. Paul Pritchard is the faculty adviser. Success in the past years has been achieved only by the support of the students. It is sincerely hoped that such support will again be obtained as will warrant success in the future. Howard Schroeder, June, ’32. CROSS COUNTRY A brisk warming up, a loosening up of stiff joints, the patter of run- ning feet, and the cross country sea- son was again under way. As has been the custom of late years, the sport did not receive the full support possible. Many veterans of last year were missing: Gibson was graduated, Lyons was trans- ferred to Ridley Park High School, de Prophetis took up football in its stead. Veterans from last year were Moist, Matkowski, and Santo. Napoleon Davis, a newcomer, did exceptionally well against the best high school competition. Curry and Moist also are to be commended for their favorable work. Coach Lange with scant material, managed to eke out a fair season for his “hill and dalers.” Nino de Prophetis, June, ’32. FOOTBALL Chester High School, under the supervision of Coaches Buono and George, began the season with a 6 to 0 victory over Downingtown. Pauls- boro’s ball toters drew first blood with a 2 to 0 score. Abington’s pig- skin passers crushed the Orange and Black to the tune of 39 to 0. Chester’s splendid rally wrested victory from Ridley Park with a 7 to 7 tie. Ches- ter gridders lost to Eddystone, 13 to 6. Chester’s parabola punters were next defeated at the hands of Wil- mington, 6 to 0; and Lansdowne, 13 to 0. The Chester High fighting spirit arose during the Turkey tilt and held the Media menace for a 6 point draw. Alan Young, June, ’32. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Hampered by the lack of a suitable floor on which to practice and the frequent loss of its stars, the C. H. S. basketball teams completed one of the worst seasons in recent years. With all of last year’s men gone and “Gope” Howley on the sidelines with a bad leg, Coach George started the season with green material. The end of the season saw the team oc- cupy the cellar position of the Sub- urban “A” League. Even though de- feated on many occasions, great credit must be given to the team for its fighting spirit. Those who saw action on the court are Hannum, Innis, Flynn, Erickson, Lewistein, Brown, Hoover, Howley, Schroeder, and Sherrer. John Musial, June, ’32. •fiZST i tf ZST , TRACK Due to the inclement weather, spring track practice has been late in starting this year at the local in- stitution. Notwithstanding the delay from March till April, the spirit of the candidates has not been dimmed. Something new is being tried this year in the way of track. Doing away with scholastic competition, a sched- ule of intraclass meets has been ar- ranged. Great interest was shown in the experiment, judging by the number of candidates who have reported for practice. A fitting tribute must be paid to Coaches Lange and George for the untiring efforts of both men in making these teams a success. James Croce, Feb., ’33. SOCCER Completing a schedule that called for only the best teams in this sec- tion, the Chester High School soccer team compiled one of the best records since the inception of the sport. Under the capable coaching of Frank Robinson, one time American League player, the hoofers captured second place in the Suburban “A” League. The one blotch on the other- wise good record was the defeat suf- fered at the hands of the champion- ship Abington combination. Those who did their bit on the field are Simmons, Gold, Murtaugh, Olive, E. Green, Musial, Barnard, Lynch, W. Green, Stroud, Orpinuk, Hickey, and Babe. John Musial, June, ’32. TENNIS Considering the fact that the team has no courts on which to practice and play its home games, the success has nevertheless been wonderful. For the past three years the racquet wielders have been matched against the best teams the league had to offer. The results have been gratify- ing inasmuch as one half the matches were chalked up in Chester’s favor. Under the able coaching of Mr. Pearson, the following “C” men will attempt to bring home the laurel wreath for Chester: G. Headley, W. Taylor, T. Gray and R. Turkington. Weston Taylor, June, ’32. DEBATING SOCIETIES The Senior Debating Society, this year, has been particularly success- ful, and many different types of work have been undertaken. At the beginning of the year, the following officers were elected: Alex- ander Brown, president; Harry Nyce, vice president; Mary Strohm, secre- tary. From February on, Harry Nyce replaced Alexander Brown as presi- dent. The annual public debate, the prin- cipal project of the society, was held on December 17, under the auspices of the Literary Society. The propo- sition: “Resolved, that the various states should adapt compulsory un- employment insurance,” was upheld by the 12B’s and opposed by the 12A’s. The affirmative team consisted of Alexander Brown, captain; Sam- uel Warwick and George Hayes, as- sociates ; and Kathryn Haas, alter- nate. Those of the negative team were Harry Nyce, captain; Iola Bunce and Solomon Gold, associates; and Mary Strohm, alternate. The negative team was awarded the de- cision, and received gold medals as the gift of the Literary Society. The training in the second semester is on extemporaneous speaking. This alone should be an incentive to join the society, since it is of great use, not only in school life, but also in the business world. Mary Strohm, Secretary. The Junior Debating Society now boasts a membership of forty-six. We have passed another landmark and hope to be able to present pins to the outstanding members of the club. We have conducted six debates and several sessions of extemporaneous speaking. Three of our prominent members have gone on into the Senior Debating Society. Frank Staus suc- ceeded Dwight Pentecost as president of the organization. The vacancy left by Frank Staus was filled by John Harper. The officers now are Frank Staus, president; John Harper, vice president; Ruth Bunce, secretary- treasurer. Ruth Bunce, Secretary. 42 THE ANNUAL “THK WKLCOM K” In the second year of its existence, the “Welcome,” Chester High School’s bi-weekly newspaper, has taken sev- eral strides forward, both in size and in circulation. Much of the credit for the success of the paper is due to the careful guidance of Miss Williams, the faculty adviser. The three-column paper of a year ago has given way to a four-column paper. This progressive step has been made possible by the increased num- ber of advertisements obtained by the advertising department, and by the doubling of the number of subscrib- ers through the vigorous campaign- ing of an active circulation depart- ment. In the annual contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Press Asso- ciation on December 28, 1932, an honorable mention for an editorial was awarded to the “Welcome!” Edward S. Rockett, June, ’32.

The officers for this year are: Iola Bunce, president; Sigrun Bassoe, vice- president ; Anna Boyer, secretary; Helen Byron, treasurer, and Mary Strohm, Spectrum representative. Due to the new schedule that Ches- ter High School has introduced, the meetings of the Association have been “few and far between.” Al- though we have been restrained by this, we have accomplished much. At our first meeting we were privi- leged to hear Miss Beatrice Madison tell of the many sports at Temple University. Numerals were presented to the Freshman basketball team, at another meeting. A glance at our teams, basketball and hockey, will show that, although Chester High School is handicapped by not having a gymnasium, it can rely on the girls to keep the standard high. We are all looking forward to the future Swimming Club to bring more laurels to our Alma Mater. So, here’s to the future of the Girls’ Athletic Association. It may be larger, but it can never be better! Anna Boyer, Secretary. SWIMMING With the coming of spring, a new interest was aroused among the girls. Although swimming was or- ganized last year, it was supported by only a few girls and was unsuc- cessful; but this year the Girls’ A. A. has organized a Swimming Club, which has been greatly enjoyed and a great help to the girls. The dips are held in the Y. W. C. A. pool every Thursday afternoon, at which time only students from the high school are permitted to enter the pool. A general instruction class is held first, after which special instruc- tion to both beginners and advanced swimmers is given. Towards the end of the season, a meet is planned, in which ribbons will be awarded to the winners and those placing second and third. The club is under the able super- vision of Miss Schieck and Miss Pit- tenger; and although it is just a “baby in long clothes,” it is expected to grow rapidly. Mary E. Strohm, June, ’32. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball teams had a fairly successful season this year, winning seven games and losing three. This is the first year that there was a Delaware County League for girls, and we placed third in this league. The team will lose three play- ers this year through graduation. They are Mary Strohm, forward; Juanita Bishop, forward and captain ; and Mary Windish, guard and as- sistant captain. The other members are Elizabeth Hall, guard; Sigrun Bassoe, side-center; Leon Moore, center. Another member of the grad- uating class, and a very capable side- center is Bernice Beswick. The man- ager of the team is Genevieve Bishop, who also leaves Chester High this year. Juanita Bishop, June, ’32, Captain. THE ANNUAL 45 THE YEARS SWEEP ON Life is wrought of little things— Little joys with azure wings, Little cares with barbed stings. Little moments swarm in showers, Bringing weeds and bringing flowers, Dying in the silent hours. Drift the silent hours away, Clad in white, and clad in gray, On the bosom of each day. Every day its burden rears, Sorrow, joyance, pleasure, tears, Tribute to the hungry years. And the years sweep out to sea, Bearing you and bearing me To the wide eternity. Henry J. Briscoe, June, ’32. ANNUAL BOARD, FEBRUARY, 1933 J. Dwight Pentecost, Editor-in-Chief Sonia L. Galey, Assistant Editor Miss Edna M.

It contributed to the general happiness of the “holly-days” with a bit of Christmas cheer that succeeded in obtaining a second rating in a national competition. Its thirty-sec- ond volume ended in an elaborate edition endeavoring to emulate, as a tribute to our first president, period- icals published during the period in which that historic gentleman lived.

Since our enthusiasm was at is height, business details received attention imme- diately. Officers were nominated and elect- ed as follows: president, Thomas Barnard; vice president, Williamay Moore; secretary, Florence Hurwitz; treasurer, Barbara Hanna. Faculty advisers are Miss Myra T. Boyle and Miss Marguerite Norman. Various projects were discussed, the outstanding being a move to or- ganize, in cooperation with the neigh- boring high schools, an art alliance, whereby the work of the students might be exchanged. This exchange would be in the form of a regular exhibit. All participating would be sure to gain new interest and en- thusiasm from seeing the work of others. Letters to this effect were written to the designated schools, and the plan is sure to be established in the near future. Recently a letter was received from Wilmington High School approving our idea and sug- gesting that a representative of Ches- ter High School come to Wilmington to draw up plans. Many trips have been planned for the future, and the Arts Association promises to be a very active and help- ful asset as one of the clubs of Ches- ter High School. Florence Hurwitz, June, ’32, Secretary. COMMERCIAL CLUB On October 21, 1931, the commer- cial students of Chester High School formed a Commercial Club. Upon the graduation of the president, Coleman Gaal, in February, Iola Bunce became president. The other officers of the club are: Helen Newsome, vice-presi- dent ; Betty McCabe, secretary; Ruth Bunce, treasurer; Mary Weir, re- porter. Miss Rennie, head of the com- mercial department, is the club ad- viser. The purpose of the club is to bring the students into closer contact with the operations of the business world. During the semester, the club has held many interesting meetings. On November 30, Mr. Deigler, of the Peirce Business School, addressed the club. A Christmas party was given, and now plans are under way for a musicale and a speed contest, which will be held in May. Elizabeth McCabe, June, ’32. crw THE DUNBAR SOCIETY The Dunbar Society was organized February 16, 1922, by Mr. J. 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 inter- ests and activities of the members in public speaking, Negro literature, music and dramatics. The society meets monthly and usually presents a program. Twice each year the chapel program is given over to the Dunbar members. In ad- dition to these activities, an annual dance is given in the school. THE ANNUAL 49 The Dunbar Octette, organized in 1929 by Mr. Fishburn, has appeared publicly many times, and is at pres- ent under the direction of Mr. Charles D. Long. Miss Leah Bloom is our faculty ad- viser. To her we owe our thanks for a successful year. We also appreciate the support and co-operation given us by Mr. Pedlow and Mr. Long. The officers are: Otis Jones, presi- dent; Blanche Singleton, vice-presi- dent; Lucinda Jacobs, secretary, and Ross Nicholas, treasurer. Lucinda Jacobs, Secretary. LITERARY SOCIETY The work of the Literary Society this year has been unusually varied. Talks have been given by Mayor Ward, of Chester, on the history of Chester, and by Mr. George Lloyd, whose talk on Rudyard Kipling was made more interesting by his per- sonal acquaintance with that writer. At one meeting, the members gave chart talks on their interviews with eminent men living in our neighbor- hood. The society has been considering the Celtic Renaissance. Talks about Irish writers and poets have been given. “Spreading the News,” an Irish play by Lady Gregory, was pre- sented by the members. The annual public debate between the 12A and 12B class was held un- der the auspices of the Literary So- ciety, and won by the 12A team. The following officers were elected in September: president, Samuel Warwick; vice president, James Do- herty; secretary, Dorothy Detwiler; assistant secretary, Verdie Turner. Verdie Turner, Secretary, June, ’32. THE GIRLS’ SOCIAL SERVICE SOCIETY The Girls’ Social Service Society has functioned since 1914. Its activ- ity was limited for several years, but early this year it began active service with new officers and new rules. The officers are president, Helen Byron; vice president, Fay Smitham; secre- tary, Mary Strohm; treasurer, Rose Sugarman; reporter, Mary Weir. General and group meetings were planned: four general meetings each year, and each group to meet once a month. Dues are ten cents a semester. Unit groups did social service work among families who appealed to them. Clothing, food, and money were collected by all groups and distributed by the school nurses of Chester schools. SILENT BLISS We gazed at the moon, One glorious June, As we sat by the sleeping sea, And never a word From her was heard, And never a word from me. The waves all hushed, And when she blushed, The stars couldn’t help but peep; And her great browm eyes Looked twice their size And twice and a half as deep. But never a word From her was heard, And never a word from me; For we were eat- ing gum-drops sweet Down there by the sleeping sea. Henry J. Briscoe, June, ’32. 50 THE ANNUAL THE ANNUAL 51 LIBRARY CLUB The first meeting of the Library Club was called last October for the purpose of reorganization. The fol- lowing officers were elected: presi- dent ; David Ulrich; vice president, Mae Bonsall; and secretary, Marian Varlan. Interesting programs were carried out during the regular monthly meet- ings which followed. They consisted of reviews of many new books and sketches of their authors’ lives. Bio- graphical reports were given on some of the modern writers. Plays and short stories were read during the club periods. Miss Lorenz led the club in profitable discussion. Some of the members assisted in taking charge of the library during the lunch periods. The Library Club members attend- ed a Saturday morning performance of Sir Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe,” which was presented at the Chestnut Street Opera House in Philadelphia in February. Mae Bonsall, June, ’32. MATHEMATICS Chester High School’s first Mathe- matics Club was formed on March 30, 1932. The officers elected at the first meeting are Lawrence Buck, president; Bernice Beswick, vice president; Mary Strohm, secretary. Catherine Buck and Weston Taylor are in charge of the club’s scrap book. Mr. John D. Christman, head of the mathematics department, is faculty adviser of the group. Membership is open to all juniors and seniors who have completed the course in advanced algebra. The organization provides an in- terest for those students who want to learn something of higher mathe- matics. Mr. Christman has given in- structions in the use of the slide rule and also on the basis of calculus.

The association consists of twenty-one high schools and junior high schools, many of which were represented. At 3:15 those attending the con- ference assembled in the auditorium. Milton Woodlen, editor of the “Wel- come,” presiding over the meeting, introduced Miss Ernestine Robinson, adviser of the “Glen-Nor Crier,” who gave an inspiring talk on “The Make- up of the Magazine.” Miss Robinson’s talk was followed by a brief discus- sion. From 4:00 to 4:45 the conference was divided into two sections. One section, composed of magazine editors and advisers, met in room 21, where Harry Nyce, assistant editor of “The Spectrum,” presided. The speaker was Mr. Harold Smith, of the “Ches- ter Times.” His topic was “The Ar- tistic Magazine.” In the auditorium, where the rest remained, Kathryn Haas, exchange editor of the “Wel- come,” spoke on “The Range of Stu- dent Verse,” and Miss Florence Wil- liams, adviser of the Chester High School publications, spoke on “Humor in School Publications.” After this the conference reassem- bled and retired to the cafeteria, where a cold supper was served. Be- tween the courses of the meal the entire group joined in singing popu- lar songs led by Dorothea Burley and accompanied by Jane Birtwell at the piano. Naomi Hewes, of Temple Univer- sity, one of the two speakers after supper, spoke on “Qualifications Nec- essary for a Course in Journalism.” Miss Hewes is a former student of Chester High and has made a name for herself in the field of school jour- nalism. A fitting finale to the very inter- esting and instructive occasion was the address of Dorothy Ann Harri- son, Philadelphia’s most noted news- paper woman, and a feature writer of the “Philadelphia Record.” Miss Harirson spoke on the topic, “The Newspaper Woman.” In her very en- tertaining discourse she cited some of her own thrilling experiences as a reporter. She, too, is a former stu- dent of Chester High, where she be- gan her journalistic career. Otis Jones, June, ’32. Alumni Editor of the “Welcome.” FATHER AND SON MEETING Would you like to make a million dollars in five days? If you would, you should have been in the Chester High School auditorium on Tuesday evening, April 5, to hear John L. Alexander, director of the American Youth Foundation, tell this secret and many absolute facts about suc- cess, to those attending the Father and Son Meeting. Throughout his discourse, the speaker kept his listeners down to earth instead of carrying them off to their Utopias by portraying the gold- en opportunities of the future, as THE ANNUAL 55 most success speakers do, defining dreaming as a round-trip ticket to success—always bringing the dream- er back to where he started. The address was not without wit and humor, the pleased gathering learn- ing more about the Scotch, Swedish, and Irish than could ever be learned from history books. The evening’s program was opened with two patriotic selections by the band. The Dunbar Octette followed with several entertaining spirituals. The String Quartet offered classic interpretations of “March Militaire,” and “Simple Aveu.” Ideal masculine vocal ability was exemplified as the Boys’ Glee Club offered “Winter Song,” “The Bulldog,” and “Ken- tucky Babe.” Every father and son departed feeling that he had been well treated, both oratorically and musically. David Phillips, June, ’32. “GREEN STOCKINGS,” THE SPRING PLAY On May 5 and 6 in the high school auditorium the Dramatic Society pre- sented its annual spring play. This year it took the form of a three-act comedy by A. E. W. Mason, entitled “Green Stockings.” The coaching staff was very capa- bly headed by Miss Caroline Robin- son, and consisted also of Miss Paul- ine Calhoun and Miss Dorothy Smith. Those who took part in the cast are as follows: “Colonel J. N. Smith,” Walter Buckley; “William Faraday,” Dwight Pentecost; “Admiral Grice,” Vincent Nacrelli; “Honorable Robert Tarver,” Harry Nyce; “James Ra- leigh,” William McGlincey; “Henry Steel,” Benjamin Blank; “Martin,” Charles Eberly; “Celia Faraday,” Isabelle McLaughlin; “Evelyn Tren- chard,” Ruth Bunce; “Madge Rock- ingham,” Jeanette Wolson; “Phyllis Faraday,” Jane Brewer; and “Mrs. Chisholm Faraday,” Marie McCabe. The scene was laid in England, and the story was based upon the old English custom which requires an elder sister to wear green stockings at the wedding of her younger sister, if that younger sister has captured a husband first. Celia, the elder sister, had already been compelled to wear green stock- ings at the weddings of two of her younger sisters, and to avoid repeat- ing it for a third time she announced her engagement to an imaginary Colonel Smith. After much excite- ment caused by the announcement, her sister insisted that she write her fiance a letter which really did reach a Colonel Smith. The colonel was completely puzzled and determined to investigate. After many complica- tions and entanglements, the colonel fell in love with Celia, and hence end- ed the wearing of green stockings by the heroine. Harry Nyce, June, ’32. 56___________________________________THE ANNUAL THE CHRISTMAS PLAY The mellow Christmas spirit of old England lived again on the stage of the Chester High School when “A Christmas Carol,” dramatized from the story by Charles Dickens, was presented on Wednesday, December 23, by the Dramatic Society. Milton Woodlen brought the “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous old sinner,” Scrooge, to life again. Norman Weisler, as Fred, his nephew, burst into the musty counting-house, bring- ing the spirit of Christmas with him, and his enthusiastic speech of his love for Christmas was heartily ap- plauded by Bob Cratchit, otherwise Joseph O’Brien. The two solicitors, Joseph Rubenstein and Harry Mac- Pherson, were abruptly and roughly turned aside by Scrooge. That night, in Scrooge’s sitting room, the face of Jacob Marley, his dead partner, looked at him from the fire-place, and then Jorrell Kelley, as Marley’s ghost, came into the room, groaning and clanking his chain. The Spirit of Christmas Past, Elizabeth Fox, drew aside the curtain before Scrooge’s eyes; and on the rear stage laughed and danced Scrooge at sixteen, Benjamin Blank; Dick, Harvey Jester; Fezziweg, John Wadlewski; Mrs. Fezziweg, Dorothy Gore; the Fezziweg girls, Martha Martin, Sara Pidcock, and Lily Bowen; the other young man, Dwight Pentecost; fiddler, Michael Caruso. Time passed quickly, and on the rear stage appeared Ebenezer Scrooge, older, Irving Blank, and Bella, his former sweetheart, Jane Brewer. Wanda Dorszewski as the Spirit of Christmas Present showed Scrooge the scene in the home of Bob Cratch- it. Mrs. Cratchit was played by Marie McCabe; Peter Cratchit, by John Velte; Martha Cratchit, by Jean Kon- tos; Belinda Cratchit, by Violet Mc- Cracken ; Betty Cratchit, by Anna Palombo; little Bob Cratchit, by John Stritmatter; Tiny Tim, by Francis Davis. Emma Swain as the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come showed Scrooge the dark shadows of the future. Two passersby, David Phil- lips and Aleck Levin, flippantly dis- cussed his death, and the hard and sordid scene in the shop of old Joe, dealer in old rags, was acted by Ray- mond Rendelman as Joe, Pauline Taylor as Mrs. Dibler, and Dorothy Pennington as the laundress. On Christmas morning following Scrooge’s experience with the spirits, he called in David Maloney to order the huge turkey he sent to Bob Cratchit, with the heartiest and hap- piest Christmas greetings. The parts were appropriately as- signed and realistically portrayed. The delightful costumes did much to bring back the authentic atmosphere of Dickens. Sakah Dowlin Jones, June, ’33.
