ROBINSON HEARD DEDICATIQN The phenomenal success of the Chester High School athletic teams d g the past two years has been due mainly to the taithiul efforts of tour oi the be men ever to coach school sports. Their inspiring leadership has brought Chester back to the pinnacle of success which it formerly occupied. The combined teachings of Mr. Iohn Abrams. Mr. Ellis Dwyer, and Mr. Rob- inson Heard turned out the only championship football team in the history of the school. Meanwhile Mr. George Lange. the track coach. was developing a good team and an individual champion. Walter Sterner. During the basketball season. Mr. Abrams and Mr. Heard. to complete the most successful year in the school's athletic history. presented a team that captured not only the Section Il-B title. but also the Kiwanis championship. Chester should torever pay homage to these tour coaches for what they have accomplished in the intereststof fast. clean. competitive sport. As our small con- tribution. we take great pleasure in dedicating our ANNUAL to these men and their achievements. ADMINISTRATION MR. GEORGE W. PEDLOW.

E FOOTBALL Chester Takes Suburban Title Playing before the largest crowd in the athletic history of Chester, the Orange and Black gridders displayed their usual brand of brilliant heads-up football, to submerge Media High School's team, 19-0, thus clinch- ing the Suburban Conference champion- ship. ' The crowd of 7500 sports enthusiasts wit- nessed the culmination of the greatest foot- ball season in the annals of the school. .Their victory climaxed the first undefeated season of any Chester football team since 1896. It was also the first defeatless season for an Abrams-coached team, and gave Chester the first ,Suburban football title in its sparkling athletic history. In this decisive Media game, the teach- ings ofqthe coaches, Abrams, Dwyer, and Heard, 'were evident in the marvelous team- work exhibited by the Chester warriors. The Orange and Black scored once in the first quarter, and after pounding relentlessly at the goal line for the next two quarters, smashed over two scores in the last period. The driving, slashing forward wall of the homesters was instrumental in securing the victory, but even this was overshadowed by the performances of Captain Iimmy Turk and his running male and bosom pal, Jackie Turner On the third play of the game Bob Mc Michael recovered a Media fumble Four plays later :Captain Turk pranced across the goal line out an alien hand being laid on hi The. try for the extra point was not success ul The Media-team came back fighting and led by a sensational Negro star Elliott proceeded to put the Chester forces on the defensive for the rest of the half As the second half commenced the champs proceeded to take the upper hand After several fruitless ventures 1nto Media territory in the third quarter the Chester 1 es smashed over t sudden counters and an extra point to mdke the score 190' The remaining part of the game saw an endless parade of reserves racing out on the field in an endeavor to earn their var si y letters The Media reserve men showed more drive than the Chester substitutes, and were very close to the goal line when the final whistle blew, with the score still 19-0. Features of the Season The seasonysaw several jinxes brokpn. The Abington forces, who had never tasted defeat by Chester on their home field, were subdued in-the season opener, 13-0. This victory indicated that Chester would enjoy a great season, but few even dreamed of such a successful season as they achieved. Prospect Park, with a record of eight straight wins, and the distinction of having lost but one game in 36 previous starts, was simply overpowered by Chester, 21-0. To top it all, Norristown was out-fought on its own field, 9-0. 'Huis defeat broke a twelve-game winning streak, and marked the first de- feat by a Chester team on the Norristown field in thirty-three years. Much of the success of the season was due directly to the guidance and leadership of Johnny Abrams, the finest high school coach in the Philadelphia district: and his assistants, Ellis Dwyer, a great line coach, and Bobby Heard, a clever strategist. There have been individuals in the past who have outshone the stars of this year's team, but no other Chester team has ever approached the fine degree of teamwork and cooperation displayed by this year's The letter winners who helped to accu mulate all this honor for the high school and city were Captain Iimmy Turk Cap- tain elect Ierry Desmond Start Stress one of Chesters greatest ends Tony Degutis who ranks with the best of high school full backs Iackxe Turner an all round player and marvelous punter Stan Butakis Bob McMichael and Robert Watkins three ex cellent big men Vic Phillips Harry Tice and Bob McCoy three good little men Bob Wright the tallest player on the team and sa three-year varsity man Frank Levy who ranks with the greatest all round athletes of Cheaters history Lou Sileo a plggging center Ed Strazala a good kicker Art Duke a boy who really likes to play foot ball Al Nacrelh representative of a Marcus Hook family noted for its ftne athletes Wally Lippincott a good player who got badfbreaks Iohn Mewha Charles Hewitt 21 I ' 1 1 1 ' ' . 1 1 ' 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 !!l1h' 1 ' 1 1 1 . 1 1 - . , D . 1 1 1 ' ' - 1 1 1 1 1 ' ' 1 1 ' ' 1 1 ' u 2 1 1 1 I 1 , I ' 1 I 1 ' ' ' - 1 1 ' . 1 1 I I u L TW . 1 - - N 4.

CHESTER PLACES TWO ON ALL-SUBURBAN TEAM Chester High School's Suburban Champs were well represented on the All-Star team, which is composed of the best players in the Conference. Over thirty schools com- prise the Conference, thus offering a wide field from which to pick the team. Captain Iimmy Turk received the first team quarterback post. He was by far the best signal caller in the suburbs the past season. Iimmy was a great quarterback and an inspiring leader, who had an un- canny knack of sparking his team's win- ning marches. ln addition he was a pol- ished field general, a fine place-kicker, and a deadly passer. Chester's other contribution to the All- Star aggregation was Stan Stress. He was an outstanding choice for a wing post, and justly so. He was not only the best end in the Conference, but also the most efficient wingman in the entire Philadelphia area, including the cream of the Catholic and Public High School Leagues of Philadelphia itself. This is attested to by the fact that Stan was chosen All-Scholastic end. This is Chester's second successive year with a representative on the All-Scholastic team. Several other boys received mention on the All-Suburban team. Lou Sileo was chosen second team center, and Stan Bu- takis and Iackie Turner were appointed to the third team. Tony Degulis, a vastly under-rated fullback, was given honorable mention. This was, indeed, a fine showing, and proves again that the Chester team was a champion, with the tops in coaching, and a group of fighting boys who loved to play the game for the game itself, and not for personal glory or headlines which are soon forgotten.

Although trailing until the last fifteen seconds of play, the Chester boys never gave up hope, and it was their fight and determination that enabled them to beat a team which, only a few weeks before, had given them one of the most decisive defeats of the season. The marvelous team-play of Captain Frank Levy, Pete Melnick, Ioe Saltzman, and Dave Meenan, plus Iohnny Lastowka's sensational scoring sprees, and the capable substitution of Bill Miller, George Smith, and Lorne Harvey, brought Chester from behind to tie Upper Darby, 26-26, by the end of the regulation game. ln an extra pe- riod they completely outplayed and out- scored their opponents, to win the game and the Delaware County championship. This game was a fitting climax to a bril- liant season, which ended with Chester as Section IIB champions after the 28-ll de- feat of Swarthmore in the play-off. The play- off was necessitated by the fact that both Chester and Swarthmore had finished the league schedule with seven wins and one loss, each team having lost one game to the other. Chester was chosen as champion of Section Il by the three teams tied for first place in Section IIA, and by Swarth- more, tied with Chester in IIB. However, in the district play-off with Lower Merion, winner of Section I, Chester was defeated by the giant Main Line team, 28-16. Chester started the season off on the right foot by defeating Darby, 21-15, and Sharon Hill, 42-11. In the next game, against Wil- mington, Chester was nosed out, 23-21. The following game against St. Roberts turned out to be one of the hardest-fought, most sensational games ever played in this vi- cinity, rivaled only by the Kiwanis final. After two extra periods of play, Chester was finally defeated, 28-27. Following this came a win over Media, 28-201 then a very de- cisive defeat at the hands of Upper Darby, 29-17. By reason of three successive league vic- tories, Chester was now tied with Swarth- more for first place. Swarthmore completely outplayed Chester in the first quarter, dis- playing a fast, high-scoring attack. Then Jimmy Turk and lack Turner, who were playing their final game for Chester and who had been outstanding throughout the year, turned on the heat and really went to town. They, together with Captain Frank Levy, in a terrific second-half assault, piled up the highest score of the season, defeat- ing Swarthmore 51-27. This was certainly a fitting swan-song for two of the greatest all-round athletes Chester High School has ever had. Following this game, Chester defeated Darby for the second time, 31-21. In the next game, Chester was defeated by P. S. DuPont, 32-28. The next three games re- sulted in wins for Chester over Sharon Hill, 25-147 Eddystone, 22-20, in an extra period, and St. Roberts, 35-21, breaking the Bob- bies' thirteen-game winning streak. The next game was a win over Media, 25-12. In the final league game, Chester was de- feated by Swarthmore, 20-17, creating the tie for first place. As previously stated, Ches- ter won the Chester Il B Championship by defeating Swarthmore in the play-off, 23-ll, but lost the district play-off to Lower Mer- ion, Section I winners, 28-16. In the first round of the Kiwanis Tourna- sively, was a leading factor all season, played a great part in every game. Levy proved to be not only a brilliant player, but also one of the greatest leaders that Chester has ever had. He never became worried or ruffled, no matter how close the game, and his steadying influence helped the less-experienced members of the team to rise to great heights. Iohnny Lastowka, whose play was somewhat erratic at first, developed into one of the best scorers Chester has ever had, climaxing his career when he scored fourteen points in the Kiwanis final. All his goals came at crucial moments, one of them tying the score with fifteen seconds left to play. It was he who also scored the winning goal in the over- time period. Ioe Saltzman, although he constantly had to face at center taller men than he, turned out to be a consistent scorer and capable defense player. After the loss of Turk and Turner, Coach Abrams selected Pete Mel- nick and Dave Meenan to fill the positions vacated by these men. Despite their inex- perience, they proved great scorers and brilliant ball-handlers. Bill Miller, George Smith, Lorne Harvey, Robert McCoy, and Edgar Moore substituted capably during the season. Much credit is due to Coaches Abrams and Heard, whose faithful, conscientious, and patient work made possible such a suc- ment, the Orange and Black defeated Me- t dig, 30-23, with the secgnd tegm plqying Q cessful season.

TRACK Bright Prospects For Team After watching the Chester Track Team work out, anyone would believe that they have excellent prospects for one of their most successful seasons. Coach Lange has four of the finest sprint- ers ever seen on any one team. Two white boys - Iohn Lupoli and Ed Peterson - and two Negro youths - Iake McDuffy and Ulysses Savage--compose a sprint team that would gladden the heart of any coach in high school or college circles. There are several other fine runners who are expected to amass plenty of points in the coming meets. William McClenachan looks marvelous in the half-mile. He has a beautiful stride and perfect form, and does not seem to tire easily. Voss and Fawcett are two rather good milers. Voss, aprevious cross-country runner, is a fine pace-setter. Fawcett, in the first meet with Eddystone, exhibited a remarkable home-stretch sprint. Hewitt and Riggs are surmounting the hurdles with fine form. Hewitt, a second year man, is consistently good, but is capable of even better hurdling if he buckles down to the task. Riggs is showing fine form, and looks like a sure point-getter for next season. To fill out this well-balanced team, Coach Lange has several fine weight men. Bob Wright, who last year threw the shot thirty feet, has shown remarkable improvement and is now pushing it an average of forty feet. Wright has a fine understudy in Bob Watkins. Watkins, who weighs 175 pounds, is likely to become a star this year. Chester is well fortified in the discus throw. Ed Strzala, a consistent placer last year, is much better this year, and is sup- ported by a coming flash, Iohn Tashak. One of the invincible sprinters, Ed Peter- son, will take care of the iavelin assignment and will probably do well with his powerful heaves. In the jumping events, Chester has Mose- ley, Gillingham, Hewitt, Riggs, and U. Sav- age, who, although not brilliant, may be depended upon for several places in the meets. There is but one weakness, and that is lack of good pole-vaulters. Chester has not had a good one for several years. All told, we have a well-balanced track team, cap- able of brilliant performances, which should enjoy a good season. LOUIS SILEO, lune, '37 CHESTER BREAKS TWO RELAY RECORDS Chester High Schoo1's sprint team jour- neyed up to Ursinus to participate in the lnterscholastic Track Carnival at College- ville, and returned with two brilliant vic- tories. U. Savage, Lupoli, Peterson, and Mc- Duffy, winning in that order, broke the quarter-mile and half-mile standards. The quarter-mile record which was estab- lished by the Chester quartet, now stands at 43.3 seconds. Continuing their sterling running in the meet, the brilliant Chester sprint team cov- FIFTY-SEVEN 1 X 9nmQ!2?e.6 1,3 f' if -Pu!

The rest of the team failed to garner any points, but the two victories were sufficient to make the Chester team. The four members of the sprint team received two medals apiece, and should en- tertain modest hopes of obtaining some others. LOUIS SILEO CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM ENIOYS GREAT SEASON On your mark, get set, gol These words sent the Chester cross-country team off on one of its greatest seasons. It was not a great season in the matter of wins and losses, for the team won three and lost three meets. The wonderful thing about the season is the fact that it produced one of the greatest cross-country runners ever to wear the Orange and Black, Walter Sterner. The team record, though not remarkable, was good. They defeated Haverford and Glen-Nor in a triangular meet on October 28: Chester, 255 Haverford, 395 and Glen- Nor, 56. Their next triumph was over Wil- liamson Trade School, whom they humbled 25-31. They then took their second straight home meet, winning from West Chester, Zl-35, to complete the list of victories. Chester was defeated by Abington, Lower Merion, and Norristown. This is a good record as compared with the preceding three or four seasons. Sterner Dominates Meets Walt Sterner, a beautiful runner with an effortless stride, placed first in every meet. In addition to winning every meet, he set five new course records. He clipped twelve seconds from the Abinglon course record: established two new records for our own course, only to break them a week later, and reduced the Norristown course record by six seconds. After this undefeated season, Sterner continued his running. He became Sub- urban champion by virtue of his victory in the Suburban meet, which he won with a lead of two hundred yards over his nearest competitors. . On Thanksgiving Day, Walt competed in the National Inter-Scholastic Cross-Country run held at Newark, New Iersey. He took SIXTY second place: if he had had a little more experience, he might have defeated the na- tional champion. These marvelous accomplishments were deserving of a fine reward, and Sterner received that reward. He was presented with a scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh and is now studying at that showplace of knowledge. He has run several times since entering the university, and his work points to fur- ther cross-country achievements while in college. Others Overshadowed There were other fine runners on the team, but they were eclipsed by the bril- liance of their captain. Those who won let- ters were: Anthony Filippone, Iohn Guilt- inan, Chester Williams, and William Voss. Manager Cyrus Rothberg was also awarded a letter. Other members of the squad who worked hard were. Stinson, Marriat, Gillingham, Moseley, and Ucyshyvanulc. BASEBALL l2B's Win Title in Intramural League The 12B team defeated the lOA's, 8 to 7, to take their second intramural title. They won last year when they were 1lB's. The game lasted nine innings, three innings more than usual. Klotz's slugging, Smith's pitching, and Levy's all-round play were greatly responsible for the victory. The l2B's made a clean sweep of their sched- ule. This league gave many boys an oppor- iunity to play ball. A squad of fifteen men has been chosen to play a schedule of eight games in May. These players were Miklasz, Desmond, Turner, Sileo, Lupoli, Klotz, Levy, Stress, Saltzman, Singleton, Meenan, Giampalmi, Iaworski, McCoy, and Smith. New suits have been purchased for the team by that connoisseur of athletic equip- ment, W. Robinson Heard. These suits are the best that could be purchased. The athletes hope to have a successful! season against these teams: Upper Darby, Prospect Park, Wilmington, Collingdale, Springfield, and others. ROBERT ROBSON, Iune, '37 A J -M g -r T 'im - , iii .

K ' ' ' EXPERIENCE LACKED BY GOLF TEAM Championship Team Promising With Four Returning Men Despite the lack of success so far this sea- son, Chester High has a potentially good golf team. Four out the first six men will re- turn again next year: and with an addi- tional year of experience, much is expected from them. The team is composed of Herman Fritz, Earle Smedley, Charles Gressenbucher, Richard Brown, and Anthony Baker. Fritz is a junior, and he usually plays the num- ber one position. He has already had one year of experience and is constantly im- proving. Smedley is also a junior, and he is playing his first year of golf. He has made great strides in his game, and is showing great improvement. Charles Gres- senbucher and Anthony Baker are the only seniors on the squad, and they are con- sistent players, experienced in varsity play. Richard Brown is a sophomore, who shows great promise and has been a steady scorer throughout the season. Robert Camp- bell is another promising young player. The team has played six matches, los- ing all of them. The first match was against Upper Merion, and Chester was defeated l3V2-IV2, with Fritz getting one point and Brown one-half point. In the next match, against Sharon Hill, Chester was defeated, 13W-lVz, Richard Brown scoring all of Chester's points. Darby defeated Chester, l2Vz-ZV2. In this match, Gressenbucher scored two points -and Smedley one-half point. In the match against Glen-Nor, Ches- ter was again beaten, 12Vz-2Vz. Anthony Baker scored one point, and Herman Fritz, Richard Brown, and Charles Gressen- bucher each scored one-half point. The match against Nether Providence ended in a tie, 7Vz-7Vz, Chester's points were made by Fritz, Baker, and Gressen- bucher. the match with sharon Hill, chester defeated, 9Vz to 5Vz, Smedley and Gressenbucher getting the points.

Under the capable officers - Stanley Stress, presi- dent: Frank Levy, vice president, Ioseph Saltzman, treasurer: Iohn Lastowka, secre- tary, Abe Oppenheim, basketball manager: Richard Smith, football manager - the A.A. put on a membership drive that has never been equalled. The football team, after being runner-up in the Suburban race last year, came through with flying colors and was crowned Suburban Champion for the first time. To fete these champions, a testimonial banquet was held in the P.M.C. Armory on De- cember 8. The basketball team kept the ball rolling and finished first in the Section ll-B race. It then topped this by a victory in the Ki- wanis Tournament. Meanwhile the boys who were not fortunate enough to enjoy varsity or junior-varsity games played in- tramural basketball. New baseball suits have been bought, and things are in line for a successful sea- son in this sport, also. IOHN LASTOWKA, lune, '37 Secretary. iii. GIRLS' A.A. Larger membership, greater interest, more activities, and inspiring leadership have combined to make this season an outstand- ing one for the Girls' A.A. Isabel Clark, Alice Ryan, and Doris Mc- Lean were chosen as officers for the year. lnterscholastic basketball continues to be the girls' major sport. Eleven games each were played by the varsity and second teams. Intramural competition benefited a greater number of pupils than ever before. The teams were capably coached by Miss Arleyne Pittenger. Baseball attracted participants from all classes. Intramural games were played to decide the championship. The Girls' A.A. sponsored a sports dance a greater number of activities for more girls. With cooperation, it is hoped that this goal may be reached soon. DORIS MCLEAN, February, '38 Secretary STUDENT COUNCII. Student Council, the voice of the school, is constantly gaining strength. Today it is one of the leading organizations of Chester High School. The officers are: Robert Wright, president: Genevieve Sherman, vice president, Pearley Dallett, secretary, and Stephen Sedor, treasurer. The chief aim of the council is to pro- mote a closer relationship between the stu- dent and the school. Many valuable functions are performed by the Council, some of which are traffic regulation, school banking, welfare, and special awards for extra-curricular activities. Recently the Council helped to sponsor a successful campaign for uniforms for the school band. At Christmas time the organization was re- sponsible for the distribution of baskets of food to fifty needy families, part of the money being appropriated from the trea- sury and the rest collected from the school at large. Interesing meetings are held bi-weekly, at which time various student government problems are discussed. Representatives are sent to other schools to confer on common problems, and often return with valuable advice. The club, under the efficient supervision of Mr. Heard, has done its best to achieve its objectives. May the students continue to give their whole-hearted cooperation!

ROBERT ROBSON, Iune, '37 SCIENCE CLUB In the past few years, the Phi Beta Chi, the science club of Chester High School, has grown from a small group of students to one of the largest clubs in the school. This year there are more than seventy-five members. The officers for this year are Abraham Oppenheim, president: Richard Enion, vice president: Edwin Pusey, treasurer: and Mary Di Medio, secretary. Miss Zena Hun- ter, a faculty member of the science de- partment, is the adviser of this organiza- tion. The club has taken several trips, the most interesting of which were the visits to the Philadelphia Radio and Electric Show, the Sharp and Dohme Laboratories, and the Franklin Institute. The regular meetings have always in- cluded qt program given either by a visitor or by the students. There have been pro- grams presented by representatives of the Bell Telephone Company, the Philadelphia Quartz Company, and the Viscose Rayon Manufacturing Company.

It flourished for some years: and then, for some unknown reason, the students lost interest and it was discontinued. In a few years it was reorganized, with a new constitution and by-laws, and since then has developed into one of the very active organizations of Chester High School. At present the Industrial Society has reached a peak of interest and success. Monthly meetings are held for the purpose of fellowship and entertainment. The enter- tainment is provided by the boys of the de- partment. To help achieve the society's desire to progress, prominent men of Chester's lead- ing industries have given their time and service to speak to the students. A few of the men the club has had the privilege of hearing are Mr. Raymond Mundson, of the Atlantic Steel Company: Mr. I. Hilyard Powell, of the Baldt Anchor and Chain Cor- poration, and Mr. Frank Pavilich, of the Sun Shipbuilding Company. The society also awards prizes each term to the four outstanding graduates of the In- dustrial Department: holding dances to ob- tain the funds. Teachers deserving much credit for the society's success are Mr. Baker, Mr. Coul- ter, Mr. Congleton, Mr. Pentecost, Miss Bloom, and Mrs. Rowland. The officers of the Industrial Society are: president, Ioseph Boloski: vice president, William Rogers: secretary, Iohn Momot, and treasurer, Paul Monkaitis. Mr. Baker acts as adviser. IOSEPH BOLOSKI: lune, '37 THE ORCHESTRA The high school orchestra is one of the most valued organizations in the school. It plays at all the important school functions, such as the Spring Concert, the Spring Play, all Chapels, and special occasions held out- side of school. The orchestra delves into arias, marches, overtures, and ct few light operatic selec- tions. Its thirty-seven members work under the able baton of Lewis R. Zelley, whose SEVENTY faithful cooperation and interest furnish worthy support to this organization. Mr. Zelley urges every young musician who plays an orchestral instrument to join the orchestra, for this kind of playing ex- perience is a great asset to the young mu- sician who intends to play professionally in his later years, and is of cultural value to anyone. The officers of the orchestra are: presi- dent, Marie Wahl: vice president, Iarnes Palo: secretary-treasurer, Raymond Mac- Afee: manager, Iohn Iones: librarians, Eliza- beth Peel and Iesse Zerr. IAMES PALO, Iune, '37, THE DANCE ORCHESTRA The dance orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Long, takes a very important place among the organizations of the school. This year it is composed of a larger variety and a greater number of instruments than here- tofore. Included in the group are three vio- lins, two trombones, four trumpets, four saxophones, bass fiddle, drums, and piano. The orchestra gave concert programs for such organizations as the Kiwanis Club, the Delaware County Industrial Club, and the Rotary Club. In these programs, Eliza- beth Ross, soprano soloist, and the girls' trio, consisting of Beatrice Wolley, Vivien Koeneman, and Florence Baxter, assisted. The orchestra also played at the football banquet, in chapel, and at many school dances. MARIE WAHL, Iune, '37 BAND This year again the band, under the able leadership of Mr. Zelley, has achieved many of its aims. The chief accomplishment of the year was the purchase of gorgeous new uniforms. The band members must thank the students, faculty, and towns- people for contributions to this project. The new uniforms were displayed first at the St. Roberts football game, where a suitable christening ceremony was per- formed. Since then, the uniforms have ap- peared at football and basketball garries, exciting much admiring comment. The band is using a credit system to en- courage the members to work. The one 'kit Y' 'ss .se who, at the end of the year, has the great- est number of credits, will be awarded a trip to Atlantic City, with all expenses paid. The officers are: Iesse Zerr, president: Iohn Iones, vice president: Iames Palo, sec- retary-treasurer: Raymond MacAfee, li- brarian. The band at present has thirty-nine mem- bers, many of whom will depart in Iune. We therefore invite all who play acceptable instruments to try out for the band. ALFRED COSLETT, lune, 1937 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club, under the capable direction of Mr. Long, has increased its membership to 160 girls, who meet each Thursday morning to rehearse, and to study choral music. The officers are: president, Elizabeth Ross: secretary-treasurer, Geraldine Williams. Esther Quimby is the accompanist. This club presents two very successful programs a year. The first is a Christmas Candle Light Service, which is given dur- ing the Christmas season. In the proces- sional the girls make a delightful picture with their cottas and lighted candles. Be- cause of the increased attendance at this service, it has become necessary to present it in the Smedley Iunior High School Audi- torium. The second important event is the spring concert, which is given every year dur- ing the first week in Iune. This year's fea- ture will be the secular cantata, The Sleep- ing Beauty, by Frances McCol1in. The other major music clubs, the Mixed Chorus, the Orchestra, and the Band, will also have their parts in this program. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus of 80 voices, directed by Mr. Long, meets every Friday morning in room 113. This organization, one of the most promising in the school, is preparing ax special group of numbers for the spring concert. The officers are: vice president, Elizabeth Ross: secretary-treasurer, Esther Quimby. Marie' Wahl, accompanist. .L A gil., . THE WELCOME ln the past year the school paper, the Welcome, has made great strides. As it is now the only regularly published school publication, it contains a wide variety of material. There can be found in it some things that would interest any individual. The Welcome has helped many clubs and various classes make a success of projects which they had planned. It has given students a means whereby news of the school and its activities can be found in accurate accounts. The Staff of the Welcome has been unusually willing to work this year: this is indicative of the students' feeling that the paper is necessary and worthwhile. The Welcome is the mouthpiece through which the school speaks to the stu- dents and the community: so we feel that it plays a most important part in our school life. KARL AGAN, Editor-in-Chief NEWSWRITERS' CLUB The Newswriters' Club of Chester High School is one of the organizations most es- sential to the school life. The club's two organs, The Welcome and The Spec- trum, have won high honors in scholastic contests in recent years. Through the continual efforts of members of the staff, The Welcome is recognized as the voice of Chester High School, and in that capacity informs its many readers of school activities and events. Louise Weaver is president of the News- writers' Club: Geraldine Williams, vice president: Dorothy Hewes, Bible reader and secretary. The Spectrum includes a wealth of lit- erary work, submitted and edited by the pupils. Only one issue has been published this year. One can scarcely think of Chester High School without thinking of the Newswriters' Club, its varied activities, and its successful publications.

The aim of the club is to bring out the student's talents, and to make him con- scious of the importance of art. The meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month in room 32. The programs are very interesting, and sometimes feature speakers well knovtm in the field of art. The club hears of the ex- periences of these artists and sees examples of their work. Among the speakers have been Mrs. George W. Pedlow, Mr. H. Wes- ton Taylor, and Mr. Iames Moore, as well as former students of C.H.S. who have con- tinued their education in art schobls.

The Service Club's most important event is the sponsoring of the Riverview excur- sion. Another function is giving dances to raise funds for the library, speaker, and welfare funds. The club has taken part in many activities during the year 1936-37. The members col- lected tickets and ushered at football games and at the Candle Light Service. They also worked in the office and made announce- ments in home rooms. ANNE EWAKA, February, '38 Secretary GERMAN CLUB The German Club of Chester High School has become an important organization, through the hard work of the adviser, Miss Graf, and the cooperation of the officers. Interesting programs are arranged for all meetings. They consist of plays, songs, games, dramatization of anecdotes, and films of Germany. For the last named, the Hamburg American Line and North Ger- man Lloyd contributed material.

The club is open to all who are inter- ested in the German language. SARA STEWART, February, '39 Secretary LOCAL HISTORY CLUB The Local History Club, open to 11A and llB students, meets once a month: and, as the name signifies, the activities center about local history.

At one of our meetings, Mr. Edward Nothnagle, former assemblyman in the State Legislature, spoke to the club on his memories of Ches- tre. To celebrate Benjamin Franklin's birth- day, informal talks were given by members of the club: and in honor of Washington's birthday, a one-act play, entitled Wash- ington's First Defeat, was presented, with members of the club taking part. Programs are planned about special occasions in order to make the meetings more interest- ing. At present, there are one hundred sev- enty-five members in the club. LILLIAN BOIESEN, Iune, '38 Secretary LITERARY SOCIETY To know and appreciate good literature is the aim of the Literary Society. The pro- grams are of a varied nature, not given to any definite period of literature. A student program was presented in October, which consisted of short story readings. Some speakers have been Miss SEVENTY-THREE QW? rr A.. gill' .,,...M. N-.. 'N nf ...---5 ., I' up-1 i' J 'H WP .2 22? YQ s Q: Leah Bloom, who read selections from modern poetry: Miss Pamela McWilliams, who gave an informal talk on her trip abroad, and Mrs. Elizabeth Buck Brown, an alumna, who read poems by Iames Stephens and told of his life. These pro- grams were interesting, educational, and entertaining. The members of the society are conduct- ing a short story and poetry contest. Each year the club plans the school May Day program. The officers of the Literary Society are: Richard Enion, president: Alvin Green, vice president: Louise Weaver, secretary. The programs are arranged by the committee: Shirley Dallett, Pearly Dallett, Gertrude Sugarman, and Louise Weaver.

The officers are: president, Richard Eniong vice president, Roberta Bor- land: secretary, Mabel Cardwell: treasurer, William Ward. Mr. Huber is the adviser.

The club is open to all students who are interested in mathematics. MABEL CARDWELL, February, '38 Secretary. STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club, which meets during the first week of each month, was organized for the purpose of arousing interest in stamp collecting, and of helping collectors in- crease their knowledge. At each meeting, timely talks are given by some members, while others exhibit their collections. The club subscribes to the Weekly magazine, Stamps. The officers are: president, Charles Selt- zer: vice president, Joseph Shisler: secre- tary, Harry Bishop, and treasurer, Harry Bevins. Stamp collecting is an interesting hobby, SEVENTY-SIX and there is much pleasure and profit to be gained thereby. HARRY BISHOP, February, '39 Secretary. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is composed of Latin stu- dents who are interested in learning more about the early Romans than time in the classroom permits. The meetings of the club this year have proved quite interesting. The plan of the Roman house was the subject of one meet- ing. Another consisted of book reviews about Caesar and the Gallic War. These meetings of the Latin Club are made more enjoyable by the singing of Roman and modern popular songs in Latin. During the year, Miss Pancoast, the ad- viser of the Latin Club, presented the con- stitution of the club to its members. lt was made in the form of a scroll by Mr. Baker and lettered by Mary Di Medio. The officers of this organization are: presi- dent, Mollie Blelochy vice president, Velma Dickerson: and secretary, Nellie M. Dan- tonio. NELLIE M.

At the first meeting, in Oc- tober, Miss Lorenz presided, and officers were elected. The officers are: president, Glenn Freedyy vice president, Louis Sileop and secretary, Wanda Rogola. The purposes of the club are to familiar- ize others with books and to aid in library Work.

WANDA ROGOLA, February, '39 Secretary VOCATIONAL CIVICS CLUB At the beginning of this semester the ninth grade civics class organized the Vocational Civics Club in order to get pupils more in- terested in their possible life work. The officers elected were: president, Ioseph Kos- ocavage, vice president, Mary Ruffinip sec- retary, William Betz. This club presented a play in the ninth grade assembly, called He Got the Iob, with an all-boy cast. This group intends to carry out other similar projects.

HI-Y The Hi-Y is an organization whose avowed purpose is to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian char- acter. Chester High'School has a very ac- tive branch of this nation-wide club. Under the guidance of Mr. Lange, Mr. Huber, Mr. Watson Pedlow, Mr. Buono, and Mr. Zelley, it has risen in the past two semesters to new heights of efficiency and activity. The officers for the spring term of 1937 are as follows: president, Anthony Baker, first vice president, Richard Enionp treasurer, Elmer Dutton, secretary, Stephen Gallagher. Besides the regular business meetings, the Hi-Y holds a dinner meeting every other Monday, occasionally with speakers. There are also many outside activities. Foremost among these is the church serv- ice program which the club sponsors. Dur- ing the year, services have been held at a number of churches, both here and in Phila- delphia. Social events, especially in con- junction with the Tri-Hi, are not infrequent: and athletic events occur at regular inter- vals. On the whole, Hi-Y is a club which gives the member a chance to develop himself along the lines of the three-fold life which the club advocates-physically, mentally, and spiritually. STEPHEN GALLAGHER, Secretary TRI-HI Tri-Hi, an organization for girls, has had a very successful year. The meetings are held every Monday evening at the Y.W.C.A. The advisers of this club are: Miss Vir- ginia Bagans, the new Girls' Work Secre- tary of the Y.W.C.A.g and Miss Benjamin, Miss Newsome, Miss Boyle, and Mrs. Alfred McKinney, formerly Miss Oliver. The officers and leaders who direct the work of the Tri-Hi are: Bertha Pearson, president: Elizabeth Hamlin, secretary, Geraldine Wil- liams, treasurerp Katherine Lutton and lean Hamlin, art. Tri-Hi has had many interesting and worthwhile meetings. The first meeting of the year was a hot dog roast. Some of the other meetings were combined with Hi-Y for supper-meetings and dancing. In addition there were the Christmas and St. Patty's Day dances, the Mother and Daughter Banquet which is held each spring, and the Annual St. Patty's Day Tea, given for the faculty of Chester High School. These activities help the leaders and the students to get better acquainted with their teachers. Tri-Hi has always been a successful or- ganization, and we are depending upon you and your friends to keep it so. We are always looking for new friends to carry on the work of such a valuable club. ELIZABETH HAMLIN, Secretary IIB CLASS The officers of our 11B class are: Earle Smedley, president, Geraldine Williams, vice presidentp Ruth Pollock, secretary, and Ioseph Paxton, treasurer. ln February, a very successful dance helped to organize our class.

With the aid of Miss Mary Carroll and Mr. Ellis Dwyer, the excellent advisers, the class is rapidly developing into an effective organization. THELMA NORRIS, Secretary SEVENTY-SEVEN in an 4.-. . .

Memories of our beloved and recently departed teacher, Miss lones. How pleasant it was to study under one who always had a good word and a smile for the class and a witty saying for every occa- sion! But, for all her wit, she was very thorough. Mary Raymond tones was born in Lewis- burg, Pennsylvania. Her father was a clergyman, and her grandfather was Dr. Bliss, at one time president of the Crozer Theological Seminary of Upland. She had experience in teaching primary and grammar grades before coming to Chester High School. Many were the years she devoted here to her honorable profes- sion, cultivating young minds in the com- mercial subjects. A large number of suc- cessful business men in this vicinity can trace their success partly to the knowledge gained under her excellent supervision. Aside from cultivating young minds, Miss EIGHTY-SIX lones found time for the cultivation of flowers and plants, One could always find her in or about the garden of her late resi- dence. Her many family connections- General Tasker Bliss was an uncle-her exper- ience in the business world, and her gen- eral culture, made her broad-minded and wide-awake to the problems of the day. Her sense of humor and her sympathy made her a delightful companion and leader, and gained her many friendships. Her pupils respected her for her fairness, honesty, and scholarship. Father Time has again stolen a march on us. He has balanced his books with our deceased friend and adviser, but we are sure he found her accounts in good con- dition.
