Chester High School - Annual Yearbook (Chester, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1939 volume:

CHARLES D. LONG In recognition of the fine contributions these two teachers have made to the prog- ress of Chester High School, the seniors fondly dedicate the 1939 year book to Mr. Charles D. Long and Mr. Lewis R. Zelley, advisers of the musical organizations. Mr. Long is primarily interested in the vocal groups, although he has led the pop- ular dance orchestra since its formation, and has been in charge of the band since last September. He also finds time to train the Senior and Junior Girls' Glee Clubs, the Choir, and the Industrial Glee Club. He has started several students on the road to successful careers in vocal musip His pleas- DEDICATION ing personality and patience, together with all his other fine traits, have endeared Mr. Long to those who have worked with him and also to those who have not. With his thorough knowledge and love of music, especially instrumental music, and his experience in directing, Mr. Zelley has encouraged and inspired many stu- dents. He leads the Orchestra, and has been in charge of the Mixed Chorus for a year. Mr. Zelley is also the competent ad- viser of the Freshman Hi-Y. He generously shares his Philadelphia Orchestra tickets with his fortunate students, and his studio musicales are a source of real joy and in- spiration to those who attend them. LEWIS R.

FIFTY-FIVE te n FOOTBALL The Orange and Black gridmen, coached by Mr. Abrams, Mr. Dwyer, and Mr. Buono, and led by Captain John Orobono, had an even season, winning four, losing four, and tying one. The first game, against Ridley Township, showed promise for Chester, which dis- played a wonderful defense and offense to win by the pleasant score of 19 to 0. Bill Sinton, aided by the strong line, showed great speed, scoring all three touchdowns. The extra point was made by Jack Fletcher. The second game was with Abington High School on Abington's grounds. The Red Raiders handed our boys the worst defeat ever given a Chester team, being victorious by a 40-12 score. Five of the touchdowns were made through the air. Chester returned to the winning column in the next game on their home field, hand- ing Collingdale a 15 to 0 setback. The game was played under the best weather conditions anyone could want, and the Orange and Black showed the form that had been promised in the first game. The touchdowns were by Bill Sinton — his fifth of the year — and Johnny Czyzewski. Mutt Tashak played wonderful ball for Chester, blocking two kicks, one of which gave Abrams men two points in the sec- ond period. The Chester warriors next met their city rivals, the fighting Bobbies of St. Robert's, at P. M. C. Orobono's men were unable to do much in the opening period until Bill Sinton interrupted a Bobbies' Pass and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. After this it was easy going for the Chester team. Beside Sinton's six points, Czyzewski, a hard-running back, Moore, Giampalmi, Mullen, and Bagshaw scored, to end the game 38-0. Jack Fletcher converted twice for the extra points. The fifth game of the season against Ridley Park, which was attended by one of the largest crowds ever to see a high school game on a local field, was a hard fought battle between the rival schools. The elevens marched up and down the field all afternoon. The Red and White drove for a touchdown on a pass to Wilson, and Thomas drove over from the two-yard line. But the strong arm of Lefty Giampalmi gave the Orange and Black a tie. Lefty threw a 35-yard pass to Sinton who ran the remaining 35 yards for the score. The try for the extra point was missed, and the game ended a few minutes later in a 6-6 deadlock. The P. S. duPont team scored an upset 13-7 victory over the Chester warriors on the Blue and Gray's field. The game was played in mud, and Chester was unable to get underway. The Orange and Black started a march for a touchdown which seemed near completion when an inter- cepted pass stopped Chester, and a series of plays and passes netted the Dynamiters the first score. Their next was on a 45-yard run by Skomoroucha, who also kicked the extra point. Chester's score came on a pass interception by Bagshaw, who raced 55 yards for the tally. The extra point was on a pass from Fletcher to Tonge. For the next game Wilmington came to town with short-lived confidence, for Ches- ter turned them back, 27-0. The whole team played good ball and looked good all afternoon. Orobono blocked a kick and fell on the ball behind the goal line for Chester's first two points. Touchdowns were offered by Sinton, Mullen, Hinder- hofer, and Bagshaw. Inspired by this victory, the team traveled to Norristown for the annual game with the Eagles. The scrappy Chester ag- gregation outplayed their rivals, but came home on the short end of a 15-0 score, though they displayed more strength than was credited to them. George Sutch kicked a field goal to start the scoring for Norris- town. A pass from Sylvester to Martin gave the Blue and White their first touchdown, the other coming on a pass intercepted by Martin, who ran for the second and final score. Chester closed the season with Media on a cold Thanksgiving morning before 5500 spectators. Both teams played hard without scoring until a break gave Media its chance. A fumble by Chester, recovered by Behrend of the Blue and White, proved to be the deciding factor of the game. Media seriously threatened to score in the closing period, but was checked by a fum- ble. Behrend became the lone hero of the game by kicking a 40-yard field goal, which hit on the uprights and bounced to the cross bars to fall on the farther side of the goal for Media's three points. JOSEPH HINDERHOFER, February, '40. JAYVEE FOOTBALL The junior varsity football team had a very successful season under their new tutor, Mr. Joseph Green, who did such a very fine job of coaching that much will be heard of him in the future. The team had a fine record this year. They won four, lost three, and tied one game. The teams defeated were: Ridley Park, 6-0; Lamokin Cubs, 6-2, the hardest FIFTY-SEVEN fought game of the year; Pennsylvania Military College Prep twice by one sided scores, 13-0 and 39-0. The Orange and Black tied Eddystone, undefeated for two years, 7-7. Chester's losses were to Ridley Town- ship, 19-0; Glen Mills, 13-6; and Media, 13-7. The most outstanding players, led by co- captains Micocci and Yost, were; linemen, Howard Ebright, Joseph Marzala, Lloyd Robson, Thomas Hess, Carmen DiMeglio, George Gallery, Wadea Kassab, and Rob- ert Micocci; backs, George Clifton, George Riggs, Beniamin Dychala, Doty Yost, John Sweeny, Melvin Zeallor, and James Al- bany. Some of the players were so good that they were used by Varsity Coach, Johnny Abrams, as reserves: Doty Yost, George Riggs, George Gallery, William McCain, Joseph Marzala, and Robert Micocci. Holdovers who should produce for the varsity next season are Joseph Marzala, Thomas Hess, George Gallery, George Riggs, Doty Yost, John Sweeny, James Al- bany, Melvin Zeallor, and Thomas Guilday. ROBERT V. MICOCCI, February, '40. BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1938-39 basketball season was one of many surprises. When Coach John Abrams picked a team, he had many vet- erans to select from, including such play- ers as Dave Meenan, Ayer Tonge, Law- rence Faries, Ed Parasink, Elmer Lowry, Walter Hlywiak, Michael Miller, and Miron Fidyk. The Orange and Black began its sea- son with four straight wins, defeating Cheltenham in a close thriller, and Haver- ford, Abington, and Radnor by high scores. Then came the downfall of one of the best basketball teams to be seen on any court this year. Chester met Lower Mer- ion at Ardmore, and the over-anxious boys lost to the runner-up state-final team. After suffering this defeat, the Abrams quintet met Upper Darby, but lost another because of the height of the Royals. Chester played a brilliant game in the first half, but the Upper Darby boys turned the heat on in the second half and ran up the score, to take their sixth straight victory in the con- ference. Coach Abrams' five dropped an- other battle to Lansdowne, 27-22. Chester's main difficulty was in breaking through the Maroons' zone defense. C. H. S. next met their city rival, St. Robert's, on the P. M. C. court, to gain an edge in the city series. After a slow first half, Chester came through in the second half to trounce the Bobbies, 40-19. The Orange and Black entertained the Norristown quintet at their own expense by taking it on the chin, 28-21. This was the half-way mark for the suburban con- ference. Chester lost several valuable players at the semester's close — Meenan, Tonge, Miller, Pleasant, Faries, and Moore. With only three seasoned men remaining. Coach Abrams began to build a new team. Ellis Dwyer, jayvee Coach, supplied the head mentor with these additional players: Jack Fletcher, Nicholas Beldecos, Joseph Hly- wiak, Joseph Hinderhofer, Raymond Paster- nak, and John Voss. With this reinforced team, Chester met Haverford and lost to the Fords, 28-22. The Orange and Black traveled to Cheltenham to lose another, 34-31, but played one of the best games of the season. Chester defeated Abington in a slow, poorly played game. The Abrams five next toured to Villanova stadium to defeat Rad- nor, 24-15. The most outstanding feature of the game was Chester's defense. The home quintet held the opposition to 3 points in the second half. This game also introduced a new star, William Reds Sinton. The C. H. S. quintet met Lower Merion on the home court, seeking revenge, but the opponents had a field day and defeated the locals, 42-24. Both clubs played hard games, but the Maroons were better or- ganized and took Chester after a tough struggle. Abrams' five took a trip to Upper Darby to receive another lacing by the Royals. The Purple and Gold gained a large lead in the first half and managed to keep it despite the playing and scoring of the Chester laddies. In the game with Lans- downe, our boys came out on top of a close battle, ending 33-31. Chester grabbed an early lead and kept it throughout the game. The following night Chester played the Red Devils at Wilmington, to receive a setback after two extra periods. The second game of the city series took place at the P. M. C. court, and Chester opened fire in the second half to overcome the Blue and Gray. After five years of battling between the schools, Chester was the first to take both games in the same season. The sparkplug of Chester's team was Walter Hlywiak, who scored 16 points. Next Chester met the Blue Eagles at Norristown, to nose out the fighting opposi- tion, 28-27. Nicholas Beldecos' last field goal, with only seconds remaining to play, gave Chester an even standing in the sub- urban league, with 8 wins and 8 defeats. SIXTY This year again provided the team with some line players. The most outstanding was Walt Hlywiak, who finished among the first ten in the suburban scoring race. Much credit should also be given to Nicho- las Beldecos. Nick received the toughest job of the team and managed to do very well. With little experience as a basket- bailer, he proved to be one of the best pivot men in the Surburban I section. Chester has seldom had scoring guards, but Bill Sinton and Jack Fletcher provided many points in the Chester games. These four players and Miron Fidyk composed Chester's second-term team that entered the Kiwanis tournament. Players that should never be overlooked are those who wait axiously on the bench. With such subs as Joe Hlywiak, Ray Pas- ternak, John Lowry, Joe Hinderhofer, Frank Perkins, and John Voss, one had to play very well to retain his position. Many of these boys did not see action because of the closeness of the games. Last but not least our coach, John Abrams, and the jayvee coach, Ellis Dwyer, should be praised for their faithful work during the current season. MIRON FIDYK, June '39. KIWANIS TOURNAMENT Entering the Kiwanis tournament with only a fair team, Chester surprised Dela- ware County sport fans by conquering Col- lingdale, Nether Providence, the section IV champions, and Ridley Park, to enter the finals against the famed Red and Blue of Eddystone. Chester met Collingdale to take the Orange and Blue, 22-16. Both teams played slow games and little scoring was done. Nick Beldecos led the locals to victory with 13 points. Abrams’ quintet entered the quarter- finals to squeeze a 25-24 victory over the Nether Providence boys. All boys shared in scoring for the team. Chester played an improved game in a smooth manner. The Orange and Black nosed out Rid- ley Park, 24-21, in the semi-finals. This game was the most exciting in the tourna- ment. With five minutes remaining, Ches- ter broke loose to shower the basket with goals and take a lead which was not over- come. Walter Hlywiak tallied eleven points for the Chester cause. Eddystone defeated Chester High in the finals, 33-16. Chester battled the Red and Blue to even terms in the first half, but the oponents spurted in the second half to take the tournament. MIRON FIDYK BOYS’ J. V. BASKETBALL The junior varsity basketball team com- pleted a fairly successful season, winning eight games and losing eleven. Mr. Ellis Dwyer made his debut as a basketball coach, filling very well the vacancy left open by Mr. Robinson Heard. The team was handicapped in mid-season when it sent most of its players to the varsity, and had to be rebuilt to complete the year. In their opening game the Chester J. V.’s completely outplayed Cheltenham, winning 30-11. Ellis Dwyer's boys made it three for four in winning from Abington and Radnor and losing to Haverford in a nip and tuck game. The Chester seconds did not fare so well after the St. Robert’s tilt, for they lost three consecutive games to Upper Darby, Lower Merion, and Norristown. The losing streak was finally broken, however, by a win over Lansdowne. After the Lansdowne game, the jayvees sent their best players to the varsity to plug up the leak left open by graduation. The revamped team lost several games before returning to the win- ning column 25 to 23 over Radnor in a thrill-packed game. The next two contests were divided, win- ning from Upper Darby 28-18 and losing to Lower Merion 35 to 23, and losing two hard-fought games to Wilmington and Norristown. The players who won letters are: Wal- lace Journey, Walter Olzweski, Robert Lut- trell, Walter Dynow, William Wood, Francis Culley, Joseph Sawicki, Evans Fields, John Voss, and Frank Perkins. GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team this year was the best Chester has ever had. Perhaps they did not win more games or lose fewer than teams of past years, but they have done some amazing things. The first surprise was the setback which Chester handed Norristown. This team had not been defeated for three years until C. H. S. conquered them, 19-12. The next spectacular event was the Orange and Black lassies' victory over Taylor Business School. Taylor has always been Chester's most dreaded enemy. This year, however, the well unified Chester team overcame the enemy by the surpris- ing score of 29-18. Besides these two victories, our girls chalked up wins over Nether Providence, Media, and P. S. D., and held Boothwyn to a tie. Eddystone, Glen-Nor, and Darby came out on top in scoring, but not in fight- ing spirit. SIXTY-ONE All this could not have been done with- out the splendid cooperation of the team. The excellent scoring of Doris Harrington, Anna Simaska, Vivian Knott, and Cather- ine Moore made them an outstanding group of forwards. The guards, led by dy- namic captain Bib Holcroft, showed won- derful team work: Anne Hall, Jayne Elliott, Virginia Dwyer, and Millie Festee. JANE STALLONI, '39, DORIS HARRINGTON, '39. GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL Elizabeth Holcroft — the varsity captain is tall and slim. Her long arms recovered many balls for C. H. S. Our best guard. Doris Harrington — she is small, fast. One of the best forwards Chester has had. Always high scorer. Received honorable mention on All-Star Team. Anne Hall — she's small, sprightly, and a good guard. Like the rest of the Halls, she always comes through. Vivian Knott — the veteran of the team She won tenth place in the foul-shooting contest. Dependable point-maker. Jayne Elliott — a tall, slim guard. Made varsity through commendable effort. Was J. V. captain before promotion. Anna Simaska — the outstanding passer of the team. Could make points when they were most needed. Very dependable. Virginia Dwyer — she will be back next year. Small, but a menace to the opposing forwards. Only junior to receive a letter. Catherine Moore — a small, dark-haired forward. She capably took over Vivian's position in February. Valuable passer. Mildred Festee — a dependable guard noted for speed. Always stopped her man. Received her third varsity letter. SPORTS STAFF, June '39. GIRLS' INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL For two weeks after the regular season had closed, the girls of the lower classes reported for basketball at Trinity Hall. Under the supervision of Miss Pittenger, these co-eds learned the fundamentals of basketball. During the second week the group was divided into four teams, which participated in several games. The Smed- ley team came out on top by winning all of their contests. There were many excellent prospects for next year's squad among this group, and Miss Pittenger is hoping that they will prove valuable. Ethel Penniwell and Dorothy Webster stood out particularly. DORIS HARRINGTON, June, '39. GIRLS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The girls' junior varsity basketball team finished their season with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. They defeated Booth- wyn, Darby, Nether Providence, Media, and Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. They were handed setbacks by Norristown, Tay- lor, Glen-Nor, and Eddystone. The team was led in its scoring by Veora Floyd and Sara Woodland. These girls were both very dependable and were responsible for many victories. Veora is a senior, but the varsity is ready to welcome Sara next year. Another girl who will be a great help next year is Mary Cassell. Mary is only a 10B, but she came out faithfully, was rewarded with a starting position on the team, and proved that she was capable of holding it. Margaret Bruner finished her career this season. Because she had not come out un- til this year, she did not make the varsity, but was a very capable guard on the J. V. squad. The other players who are counted on to move up to the varsity next year are Mildred Luttrell, a speedy forward; and Mabel Moore, Olga Tracy, and Doris Rob- erts, a trio of execellent guards. DORIS HARRINGTON, June, '39. TRACK Chester High School's track team is now in the midst of its season, under the guid- ance of Coach George Lange. To date, the coach has guided three in- dividual stars to top ranking in this coun- ty and district. Ray Coles holds the 100- yard dash honors in the county with his fine performance at the county meet at Lansdowne. Walt Soroka won first place at the Lansdowne and the Ursinus Relays with his record-breaking tosses of the shot- put, while Ed Seeney topped all others at Ursinus in the broad jump. In the district meet at Villanova, Ray Coles won over the field in the 100-yard dash, and Walt Soroka again topped all shot-putters to take first honors. George Riggs won a tied fourth place in the low hurdles at the same meet, and Seeney also tied for fourth place in the broad jump. There are several others who can always be depended upon to amass a considerable number of points in meets. Larry McGraw and Albin Peterson provide almost certain places in the 100- and 220-yard dashes. MacDonald, together with other dash men, is the mainstay in the quarter mile. Wiley, Pettinati, and Fawcett are the half-milers. The squad of milers, composed of last SIXTY-FOUR year's cross-country team, includes Voss, Eaton, Miller, Ferguson, Ashby, Gilling- ham, and Cuprinski, all dependable men. The hurdles were run by George Riggs, Blair McClenachan, and John MacDonald. Riggs gathered a number of points for Chester in fine form. The weights were taken care of by Sor- oka, Hess, Flasinski, and McClenachan. In the broad-jumping, Seeney, Voss, Jarret, and Riggs all produced results. The high jump showed Graham, in his first season, taking places. The pole-vaulting was ably done by Mamorella. This year the team had an unusual thing in the form of fine, flashy outfits for each member. All told, the team was well bal- anced. ROWLEY GILLINGHAM, June, '39. CROSS-COUNTRY The 1938 campaign of Coach Lange's hill-and-dalers proved to be one of the most successful that Chester has ever enjoyed, winning four meets and losing one, that one by a single marker. Abington High was the sole conqueror of the Orange and Black in dual competition, 27-28. In a strong stretch drive, Park, of Abington, nipped Chester's Voss by inches. Williamson Trade School presented Coach Lange with the team's first victory, 15-40. Captain Voss and Fred Wiley crossed the finish with arms interlocked for first and second place honors. Eaton, Ferguson and Pettinatti followed in that order, sweeping the major positions. Running over the broken course, Wiley of Chester out-distanced the favored Stan- cato, of the visiting aggregation and aided his mates in winning 19-28, over West Chester. At Ridley Park, minus the services of Captain Voss, who received an ankle in- jury which put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season, the Orange and Black came through to triumph, 22-38. Media was the next victim, losing 38 to 20 to complete Chester's season. Letter winners were Captain John Voss, Fred Wiley, Joseph Ferguson, Frank Cup- rinski, Frank Pettinatti, John Ashby, Jesse Eaton, and Armand DiSanctis, manager. Coach Lange will have an abundance of material for the '39 campaign. Every mem- ber of last year's team will return and with newly discovered material in spring track, last year's record should be duplicated if not bettered. JOHN VOSS, June, '40. BOYS' VARSITY BASEBALL As a result of the intramural baseball league, the coaches, Mr. John Abrams and Mr. Ellis Dwyer, chose the boys who had performed the best during the league schedule to form the varsity baseball team. In selecting their players, the coaches paid particular attention to hitting, fielding, and throwing. The following players were chosen to perform for the school in interscholastic competition: pitchers: Dick Helms, Fermin Pompilii, Harold Yarnall, and Walter Hly- wiak; infielders: John Fuini, John Bud Lowry, Jack Coakley, Frank Perkins, Stephen Jaworski; catchers: John Orobono, Edwin Booth, and Charles Cap Clark; outfielders: William Sinton, Joseph Hinder- hofer, Albert Bonier, Joseph Marzella, and Jack Fletcher. The team opened the season with a 6-1 victory over Wilmington. The hitting of catcher John Orobono and the three-hit pitching of Dick Helms featured the game. The second game resulted in a victory over Archmere Academy, the final score being 12-5. The winning pitcher was Fermin Pompilii. The next game was a 10-3 win over Ed- dystone, again featuring the pitching of Dick Helms and the hitting of the whole team. The final game up to this time of writing was a win over Chester’s ancient rivals, Media High School. The final score in this game was 4-2. The varsity baseball team, after winning their first four games, had a nine game schedule to complete. ALBERT BONIER, '39. BOYS' INTRAMURAL BASEBALL In order to find material for a varsity baseball team, an intramural league was formed under the able guidance of Coaches Abrams, Dwyer, Huber, and Hartman. All class teams were included in the league schedule. The winner of the class league had not been decided early in May. The situation at present, is a three-way tie between the 12B, 12A, and 11A teams. Each of these teams has lost one game. In one of these contests, the 12A team could have clinched the league lead by defeating the 12B's, but the hitting of the 12B team caused the 12A's to lose to them by a 10-9 score. The winners of the intramural league will receive baseball emblems. ALBERT BONIER, '39. SIXTY-FIVE GIRLS' INTRAMURAL BASEBALL This year more Chester co-eds than ever ever before turned up on the Eyre school grounds after school to play softball. The girls provided many laughs and thrills for the spectators, and the stones, trees, dust, and uneven terrain all helped to make the game more interesting. This season was the fourth for intra- mural games, and the present seniors were out to win the championship. Members of the senior teams who were outstanding were Charlotte Hasson, manager, and Viv- ian Knott, Bibby Holcroft, Doris Harring- ton, Veora Floyd, Concetta Trofa, and Jane Stalloni. This year the juniors had so many out that they had to have two teams. Catherine Stringfellow was manager of one and Mabel Moore of the other. The former gave the seniors some real competition, with Geneva Johnson consistently hitting triples and home runs. Some of the members of the other teams were Mary Murtaugh, manager; and Gwen- dolyn Broomall, pitcher for the 12A's; Mary Cassell, manager of the lOB's, and Olga Tracy, manager of the llA's, whose team gave all the others a good battle. Miss Pittenger's fine coaching made girls' softball especially successful this year. Felt emblems were given to all girls who missed only one game, and three-inch C’s were awarded the champions. CHARLOTTE HASSON, '39. SWIMMING CLUB Splash! Gurgle, gurgle. Gee, the water's warm. Splash! These and other familiar sounds echoing from the Y. W. C. A. pool each Wednesday afternoon announce the presence of the Chester High School Girls' Swimming Club. These girls, under the very capable lead- ership of Mrs. Dunn and Miss Pittenger, en- joyed eleven swims, topped with the intra- mural meet on the closing day of the club. Among those seniors who have been out- standing swimmers for three years and who will receive their awards at gradua- tion are Isobel Thomson, Anna Fowden, and Marie Thomas. Betty Volkhardt and Clare Gallagher, al- so seniors and outstanding swimmers, have been members of the club for two years and one year respectively. Among the prospects for next year's club are Mabel Moore, Mildred Luttrell, Cather- ine Brown, Marjorie Glenney, Maude Mac- Dowell, Margaret Albany, Vivian Ayres, Marjorie McDowell, and Betty Eaton. ANNE HALL, February, '40. BOYS' TENNIS Due to the untimely death of Mr. Ward Pearson, Mr. Waller became head coach of the tennis team assisted by Mr. Smithers. With only Ben Dychala missing from last year's lineup, the boys look forward to a successful season. The singles men are John Dychala, Bruce Pennington, Wallace Journey, and William Ward. Thomas Ricks and George Rutherford comprise the doubles team. The manager scheduled matches with Swarthmore, Upper Darby, Ridley Park, Nether Providence, Penn Charter, Conrad, and Wilmington. All games were played on the opponents' courts. WALLACE JOURNEY, '39. GIRLS' TENNIS Under the supervision of Miss Murdock and Miss Riley, the girls' tennis club met two days a week on the Y. W. C. A. court. Monday and Thursday were the chosen days, and the girls enjoyed half-hour les- sons each day. Among the more experienced seniors who played with the club were the Broom- all twins, Gwen and Peggy, who compose a very good doubles team. Celestine Clap- cich, Anne Hall, and Patricia Luttrell are other seniors who have had experience. Among the lower classmen who show much promise are Vivian Ayres, a sopho- more with a good backhand; Betty Wiser, sophomore; and Mildred Luttrell, manager, a junior. ANNE HALL, February, ’40. BOYS' GOLF With the same enthusiasm that has been shown in the past, the golf team recently opened its season under the coaching of Mr. Stein. The manager arranged a schedule of ten matches, with the possibility of addi- tional contests. The team practiced at the Swarthmore Golf Club, but played their home matches on the Springhaven Country Club course. So far Chester has played seven matches, with the following results: Chester .... 8 2 Springfield ... 6 Vi Chester .... 6 Glen-Nor 9 Chester .... 11 Sharon Hill ... 4 Chester .... 5 2 Clifton Heights 9‘ 2 Chester .... 3 Conshohocken 12 Chester .... 11 Springfield ... 4 Chester .... 5 Glen-Nor 10 SIXTY-EIGHT Coach Stein has been very much pleased with the showing of the newcomers: Harold Federman, Melvin Levy, James Rowland, and James Albany; and with the prowess of the veterans; Robert Campbell, Richard Brown, and Ralph D'lorio. MARTIN COMETZ, '39, Manager. GIRLS' GOLF Swing and Sway in the Murdock Way This club is under the supervision of Miss Murdock, who for several years has taken a great interest in golf. The girls play every Tuesday at the Swarthmore course. They have enoyed particularly the mixed foursomes. Among the thirty members Elizabeth Holcroft, Catherine Moore, Helen McKee, and Maude MacDowell have been out- standing. DORIS ROBERTS, February, '40. HIKING CLUB Supervisor: Miss Riley Membership: Ten to twenty girls Hikes: When: Saturday mornings Time: 9:30 Where: Rose Valley Swarthmore Village Green Why: Fun and sport Award: The letter C is received when a member hikes one hundred miles. Active Hikers: Mabel Moore, Ruth Wachs, Mildred Luttrell, Dorothy Breeden, Maude MacDowell, Catherine Lobb, Ruth Lerman, Mary Ives, and Roberta Voshelle. DORIS ROBERTS, February, '40. BOYS' A. A. The Boys' Athletic Association is the largest organization in the school. All high school boys are eligible for membership. The possessor of a membership card is ad- mitted to all athletic contests at a reduced rate. The association meets once a month for the transaction of business. Following the business, there is always an interesting and entertaining program. Sometimes a well-known figure in sports speaks to the boys. Other times there are movies of some sport which explain the fine points of the game. The income of the association is derived from membership fees and receipts of ad- mission to games. This money is used in maintaining teams in football and cross- country in the fall, in basketball in the win- ter, and baseball and track in the spring. This year the association was under the executive guidance of Michael Tashak, president; John Orobono, vice-president; Nicholas Beldecos, secretary; and Joseph Hinderhofer, treasurer. NICHOLAS BELDECOS, June, '39. GIRLS' A. A. The Girls' A. A. has made great strides this year in widening the field of sports for girls. Basketball is still the only major sport, but golf, tennis, baseball, swimming, and hiking have also drawn a large num- ber of members. The officers for the year were Catherine Moore, president; Marjorie Reese, vice- president; and Jane Stalloni, secretary. This organization meets once a month, and after the routine business is over, amusing skits, pantomimes, and talent pro- grams are given. This year the Girls' A. A. invited Bill Dyer, a well-known radio sports announcer, to speak at one of its meetings. The two A. A.'s combined for this meeting, which was the most interesting of the season. Larger membership, greater interest, more activities, and inspiring leadership have combined to make this season an out- standing one for the Girls' A. A. ELIZABETH HOLCROFT, June, '39. ATHLETIC COUNCIL Two years ago an Athletic Council was organized which was composed of faculty members and student delegates chosen from each sport in which the students par- ticipate. The purpose of the organization is for the betterment of athletics in Chester High School. Although new, the council is striving to do many things, among which are plan- ning of an Athletic Banquet every spring, standardizing the award system, and giv- ing financial aid to both boys' and girls' sports. The Council is headed by Mr. Abrams, president; Miss Riley, recording secretary; and Isobel Thomson, corresponding secre- tary. ISOBEL THOMSON, June, '39. SIXTY-NINE ,-ff .If -fl1 ,-ff ,-ff W W ff W M M ORCHESTRA The Chester High School Symphony Or- chestra, conducted by Mr. Lewis R. Zelley, is one of our oldest musical organizations, having been founded years ago by Miss Lillian Ross. The orchestra is an important factor in school life, furnishing music for chapel pro- grams and amateur theatricals, and partici- pating in the Spring Concert. The officers in this group include Harry Grider, president and concert master; Don- ald McIntyre, vice-president; Leonard Ros- en, secretary-treasurer; Joseph Bell, man- ager; Ralph Jones, head librarian; Lewis Harper and Joseph Chiaravalloti, assistant librarian. Included in the personnel are several who, in open competition with other schools, have won high honors. Some of these are Jesse Zerr, trumpet; Stoddard Gray, clarinet; Leonard Rosen and Harry Grider, violins. Through the extra time devoted by Mr. Zelley and the fine interest shown by all the members, this group played one of its finest seasons this year. DANCE ORCHESTRA The Chester High School Dance Or- chestra was organized in 1932 and has since proved very beneficial to its mem- bers and the school. It has started some of its former members on the way to profes- sional music as a result of the experience received in this organization. At the present time Mr. Long directs the fourteen boy instrumentalists and the two soloists, Marian Lambert and Betty-Jane Bennett. In the past year they provided music for all the cafeteria dances, and played for several chapel programs. In addition they have given concerts before numerous service organizations in Chester. The orchestra is up to date in the ar- rangements and numbers it plays. At the dances Joseph Bell takes Mr. Long's place as conductor. BAND At the opening of the fall season, the band members learned that Mr. Charles D. Long was to become the new director. This move followed two years of intensive training in band methods, procedure, and instruments under such men as William Revelli, director of bands and wind instru- ments of the University of Michigan, and William Brandenburg, supervisor of instru- mental music of Jersey City. The first few weeks were devoted to marching and spelling formations to be used in football games. Much credit is due to William MacDowell for the fine manner in which he conducted the band on the field. The drum section, under the fine leader- ship of Ralph Jones, proved to be one of the finest percussion sections in the subur- ban conference. At the close of the football season, the band turned to the preparation for the Spring Concert. Jesse Zerr rendered a trum- pet solo, Monastery Garden arranged by Mr. Long. The band extends its appreciation to the Service Club for the donation of a Sousaphone and for other services rend- ered, which aided the band in a highly successful season. THE SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Senior Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Long, is a musical organiz- ation for girls who have already received training in the Junior Girls' Glee Club. At the meetings, which are held every Monday, the girls prepare for the two im- portant concerts given during the year. At the Christmas Candle Light Service this year, the cantata Babe in Bethlehem was presented, the soloist being Marian Lam- bert. At the Spring Concert, occurring early in June, the chorus presented the cantata Dawn of Spring by Kountz. The accom- panist is Gladys Williams. The organization is composed of about one hundred twenty girls, the officers be- ing; president, Maude MacDowell; secre- tary-treasurer, Elizabeth Hughes; manager, Marian Lambert. OLIVE JONES, February, '40. MIXED CHORUS The only coed choral club in Chester High School is the Mixed Chorus. This year the seventy-five voices are directed by Mr. Zelley. In the Christmas Candlelight Service the Chorus scored another success. Betty-Jane Bennett was the soloist. A string trio, com- posed of Harry Grider, Leonard Rosen, Al- bert Pentecost, with Nancy Cross at the piano, accompanied the group. One of the features of the Spring Con- cert was an arrangement of Stars and Strips Forever for chorus and orchestra. Several times during the year the Mixed Chorus presented enteraining chapel pro- grams for both upper and lower classmen. This year the officers of the club are William White, president; Marian Lambert, vice-president; Gladys Williams, secretary- treasurer; Stephen Gallager and Jesse Zerr, managers. WILLIAM WHITE, June, '39. SEVENTY-TWO GIRLS' CHOIR The Girls' Choir, under the supervision of Mr. Long, is composed of about thirty- six senior and junior girls who have had at least two years' singing experience in the Glee Club. The aim of this club is to train the girls in the more difficult spiritual works. It pre- pares programs for church services of this city and for other public events. The Choir was heard at the Baccalaure- ate Service for the class of February, '39, singing The Lost Chord and Lamb of God. For coming musical events, they have prepared several numbers consisting of The Lord's Prayer, God is a Spirit, and How Greatly Thou Art Glorified. OLIVE JONES, February, '40. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY An innovation in Chester High School this year was the installation of a chapter of the National Honor Society on May 9 and 10. The students were chosen as mem- bers of the society by a committee of six teachers, after the students had been rated by the teachers who had had them. The initiates were marked on scholarship, lead- ership, service, and character. The beautiful ceremony began with a welcome speech from Mr. Pedlow. Mr. Hart- man then explained the bases for selecting new members and proceeded to read his roll call of new members. The candidates assembled at the back of the stage as the orchestra played, while the auditorium was darkened and the stage lights were dimmed. I would be true The curtains were opened and soft music was played while Richard Bonnet, Betsy Cross, Matilda Connell, Terrill Price, and Basil Dolinsky, members of Ridley Park's Honor Society, installed Chester's candi- dates. First the Ridley students explained what the Honor Society means, after which they led the initiates in saying the pledge of the society. Mr. Pedlow and Mr. Agan pinned yellow and white ribbons on the students, who were then led by the Ridley members down to seats in the assembly room. Mr. Agan spoke briefly but significantly, and introduced Mr. Fritz, who congratulated the students and added a few words. The initiates marched through the middle aisle and out of the assembly, followed by the rest of the student body. The 12B students honored by member- ship in the Honor Society are as follows: Doris Harrington, Nancy Hewes, Elizabeth Holcroft, Ruth Krieg, Julia Metz, Helen New- some, Mary Paxton, Eleanor Stein, Eva Synovec, Gladys Williams, Blanche Zakiel- arz, Nicholas Beldecos, William Boutelle, Ralph D'lorio, Stephen Gallager, Rowley Gillingham, Wallace Journey, Harry Kent, Harold Smith, Herbert Souder, Paul Wag- ner, and Bertram Zoslow. The 12A honor students are: Minnie Buz- gon, Domininka Kinka, Ida Forte, Florence MacLean. The 1 IB students chosen are: Agnes Booth, Ruth Lerman, Julia Lyons, Helen McKee, Helen Mills, Mabel Moore, Gene- vieve Pietras, Zelda Schultz, Edith Zeitzeff, Bruce Harkness, Galen Hummel, Joseph Hlywiak, Paul Tyman, Eugene Yaworsky. DRAMATIC SOCIETY The Dramatic Society is the organization to which students interested in any phase of acting or stage work may belong. Leading the society in the past year were Lawrence Faries, president from Septem- ber to February; and John Hutchins, presi- dent from February to June; Ralph Jones, vice-president; Beatrice Hallman, treasurer; Sara Stewart, secretary from September to February; and Nancy Hewes, secretary from February to June. The monthly meetings have been both valuable and entertaining. As usual, the first meeting of the 1938-39 season was de- voted to reports concerning the functions of committees, given by the respective heads. Perhaps the most enjoyable meet- ing was the November one, in charge of the dance orchestra, with Ralph Jones as master of ceremonies and Marian Lambert as soloist. In December the annual Christmas play, directed by Miss Benjamin, was presented in the chapels. The play was Dust of the Road, by Kenneth S. Goodman. The double cast included the following: Sara Stewart, Gloria Baylin, Joseph Carpenter, William McCain, Howard Stein, Robert Bauer, and John Rankin. The program for the February meeting consisted of two amusing skits. One was a radio program entitled Gangbusters, written by Harry Grider. The second was a scene from A Mid-summer Night's Dream. In February a short play, Market to Market, was presented. Crisoula Skidas, Jeanne Traub, and Fred Snyder took part. In March Mr. Arthur Rich, a member of the Hedgerow players, entertained the club with some scenes from The Emperor Jones. Student talent was supplied by Betty Wiser and Marian Lambert, who sang, and Betty MacDonald, who gave a monologue. SEVENTY-FOUR The main activity of the Dramatic Society in April was the annual spring play, It Never Rains, by Aurania Rouverol. The May meeting was devoted to student talent. The advisers of the club are Miss Mary Muldoon, Miss Lawton, Miss Hynes, Miss Turner, Miss Benjamin, Miss Wagner and Mrs. Gum. Chairmen of committes for the spring play were as follows: stage, Fred Snyder; publicity, Isobel Thomson and Earl Kline; lighting, Rowley Gillingham; sound effects, Ralph Jones; make-up, Mary Lewinstein; properties, Eleanor Stein; and prompting, Crisoula Skidas. NANCY HEWES, June, '39. IT NEVER RAINS The Dramatic Society of Chester High School presented It Never Rains, a de- lightful comedy by Aurania Rouverol, as the annual spring play on April 20 and 21. The cast included the following: Mrs. Rogers, Grace Abrams; Mr. Rogers, George Hewitt; their son, Jimmie Rogers, James Rowland; Mrs. Donovan, Cather- ine Harkness; Mr. Donovan, Robert Dry- den; their daughter, Dot Donovan, Bea- trice Hallman; Havana, Alfred Childs; Norleen Sears, a smart young girl, Ger- aldine Baer; college girls, Crisoula Skidas, Irene Crossett, Marian Lambert; cheer leaders, Robert Jones, Edward Bethard, William Wallace, Bruce Harkness; Dane Lawson, a prosperous business man, Fred Snyder. The play was very well presented, though the members of the cast were nearly all comparatively inexperienced actors. Their competence, coupled with the effective staging and the appeal of the lively, up-to- date comedy, made the play unusually popular. Appropriate music was furnished during intermission by the school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Lewis R. Zelley. Much of the success of the play was due to the untiring work of Miss Mary Muldoon, chief coach, and the other advisers — Miss Lawton, Miss Hynes, and Miss Benjamin. The student committees also deserve credit, as do the art and the industrial depart- ments. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has been very ac- tive this year under the supervision of Mr. Hartman, faculty adviser; Wallace Journey, president; George Riggs, vice-president; Michael Miller, treasurer; Jane Stalloni, secretary. The council carried out its annual relief project by distributing food baskets at Christmas time to needy families. Among other things accomplished were the pur- chase of a piano for the cafeteria and the awarding of the high average plaque to 12A room 214 in February and 12B room 217 for the second semester. At the Feb- ruary and June commencements, the coun- cil presented medals to the boy and girl in the 1 IB and 12B class most active in extra-curricular organizations. This spring the Council also sponsored the long-desired installation of the National Honor Society. This is an organization for seniors and juniors who have maintained high standards in scholarship and char- acter, and have participated effectively in school activities. A campaign to clean up and improve both girls' and boys' lavatories was very successful. Mirrors, towels, and soap were provided for the girls. The afternoon Council, under the direc- tion of Miss Holcroft, consists of freshmen and sophomores. Their main function is banking for the afternoon students. They also prepare members for the responsibili- ties of the older group. JANE STALLONI, June, '39. SERVICE CLUB The service club has taken part in many activities during the school year 1938-1939. The members collected tickets and ushered at football and basketball games, spon- sored many of the Friday evening dances, and contributed money toward both the movie projector and the dance orchestra of Chester High School. The club’s most important event of the year is its sponsoring of the Riverview Beach excursion, a gala occasion for the many students who go. At the meetings, the members discuss how to help the school. Each year the new members are selected by the old members. To be eligible to join ail candidates must be passing three subjects. The officers of 1939 are president, James Bagshaw; vice-president, John Hutchins; secretary, Irene Crossett; treasurer, John McDonald. Mr. Clare supervises the club. JANE ALBANY, February, '40. ART CLUB The Art Club, supervised by Mrs. Thom and Mrs. Hartman, is open to anyone in- terested in art. It introduces students to the various car- eers and possibilities connected with art. Speakers discuss the practical application of school training to the commercial field. SEVENTY-FIVE � «■« v 5 Some of the highlights of the club meet- ings this year were the talks by Miss Peggy Peel on fashion designing, Mr. Leland Thom on the advertising field, Mr. David Marter on industrial designing, and Mr. H. Weston Taylor on illustrating. The officers this year are Jean Hamlin, president; Marie Thomas, vice-president; Ruth Varlan, secretary-treasurer. THERESA KERSTEN, February, '40. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club has continued to rank among the most outstanding organizations of the school. The club was very active this year. It was represented at the Suburban Confer- ence of Science Clubs at Upper Darby, on February 24. Doty Yost took part in the program by giving an illustrated talk on The Structure of Molecules. On April 7 and 8, a group of students went to Penn State College for the conference of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science. Demonstrations were prepared by Morton Witlin, Paul Tyman, Nicholas Beldecos, and Rowley Gillingham. The regular monthly meetings of the Science Club have included programs either by guest speakers or by the students. The guest speakers have been representa- tives of the Philadelphia Electric Company, the Atlantic Steel Castings Company, and the Eddystone Print Works. Student pro- grams included talks and demonstrations in Plastics, Earth Erosion, and Polar- ized Light. The club is under the capable direction of Miss Zena Hunter. The officers are Nich- olas Beldecos, president; Wallace Journey, vice-president; Rowley Gillingham, secre- tary; Albert Bonier, treasurer. NICHOLAS BELDECOS, June, '39. INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY The Industrial Department prepares boys for work in the pattern making, mechanical drawing, and machine shop fields. The boys get much practical work through the department by making many things that are needed around the school. The Industrial Society is an active and popular organization. The group holds regular monthly meetings, at which times a variety of problems is presented. Many men from the industrial plants in the vicin- ity are invited to the meetings as guest speakers. The Industrial Dance which was held on May 10 was the third annual farewell dance to the seniors. This has become a tradition with the department on the eve of the seniors' departure for Washington and is looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure. The money earned from dance admissions is placed in the treasury for awards to outstanding graduates. Sufficient funds are reserved for class pins for the graduates. The officers are president, John Beldecos; vice-president, Norman Richards; secre- tary, Walter Soroka; treasurer, John Czy- zewski; and assistant treasurer, Frank Conte. The advisers are Mr. Coulter and Mr. Baker. THE WELCOME The Welcome is the Chester High School newspaper, which is published every two weeks by the students. In February, Wallace Journey, June, '39, became president of Student Council and gave up his position as editor. Nancy Hewes, the first girl editor, then took his place for the remainder of the term, with the help of Gladys Williams, news editor, and her assistants, Betty-Jane Bennett and Mabel Moore. Those clever features have been written by Eleanor Stein and Irma Pollock, aided by Elizabeth McDonald, Marjorie Mc- Dowell, Rhoda Spielman, Domenic Yach- ette, and Eleanor Leonard. Doris Harrington has been editor of Verse and Worse. Elsie Gallager has written the movie reviews; Irma Pollock, exchanges; and Lois Graf, the shopping column. The efficient editor of the sports page, John Voss, was aided by Robert Zensen and Jane Stalloni. The Business staff, so essential to the paper, was headed by Robert Andrews, ad- vertising manager, and Leo Coccagna, cir- culation manager. The proof-reading was done by Doris Emsley, J. Edward Kelley, and Harry Kent. Harry also was an editorial writer. Those who receive the least praise and probably spend more time than any one else working on the paper are the typists. This year the typing has been very well handled by Concetta Trofa, Kathryn Turn- er, and Agnes Peterson. Guided by Miss Carroll, Miss Riley (dur- ing the first term), Mrs. Rowland, Miss Louise Buck, Mrs. Thorn, and Mr. Rhen, the Welcome has enjoyed another suc- cessful year. NANCY HEWES. June, '39. NEWSWRITERS' CLUB The Newswriters' Club of Chester High School is both beneficial and educational to the students who are interested in journ- SEVENTY-EIGHT alism. The purpose of this club is to ac- quaint its members with the various func- tions of newspapers. The officers are: Row- ley Gillingham, president; John Voss, vice- president; Mabel Moore, secretary. The club is ably advised by Miss Carroll, Miss Louise Buck, Mr. Rhen, Mrs. Thorn, and Mrs. Rowland. The meetings are held bi-weekly, at which time the work on the Welcome is discussed. Recently, Mr. Echelmeyer, from the Chester Times, related some unusual experiences in the life of a reporter. In October, the Pennsylvania School Press Association held a two-day confer- ence at the high school in Altoona. Chester was represented by six staff writers. Robert Bauer, with Mr. Wilbur C. Kriebel, sales executive for John Spencer, Inc., gave a program illustrating the photolithography process in the year book. In January, the Delaware County School Press Association held a conference at Swarthmore High School, to which the Welcome sent many new and enthusi- astic workers. The speakers. Miss Edith Ellsworth, vice-president of the Advertising Federation of America, and Mr. Stanley Baumgartner, sports writer of the Philadel- phia Inquirer, interested the amateur journ- alists in professional newspaper work. About twenty students attended the an- nual spring meeting at Media in May. Nancy Hewes presided over the features panel with Concetta Trofa as secretary. Gladys Williams spoke in another group on the types of humor high school readers enjoy. Wallace Journey told what a year book should and should not contain. Mrs. Leland Thorn of Chester's art de- partment, assisted by Helen Kyriakos, Ruth Varlan, Jean Hamlin, and Olga Sabatino, lead the discussion on art and the publica- tions. MABEL MOORE, '39. TRI-HI The TRI-HI Club, open to all girls, is one of the best-known activities connected with Chester High School. It meets every Mon- day evening at 7:30 in the Y. W. C. A. The officers and leaders of the club for the year 1938-1939 are Elizabeth Holcroft, president; Maude MacDowell, vice-presi- dent; Kathryn Lobb, secretary; Alva Kallen- bach, treasurer; Mabel Moore, devotional chairman; Estelle Lister, art director. The advisers are Mrs. Virginia Evans, Miss Catherine Buck, and Miss Sarah Holcroft. The opening meeting of TRI-HI was in the form of a picnic supper. Many interest- ing meetings, such as a Dorothy Dix pro- gram, a fashion show, a scavenger hunt. a baby night, parties with HI-Y, and handi- craft were enjoyed by the girls this year. In addition TRI-HI gave an annual facul- ty tea, a mother and daughter banquet, and Christmas and summer formal dances. TRI-HI has always been a successful or- ganization which gives its members varied social and serious meetings. It is always looking for friends to carry on the work of such a valuable club. ELIZABETH HOLCROFT, June, '39. HI-Y During the past school year the Senior Hi-Y has conducted and participated in numerous activities. The principal social activities of the club have been the Halloween masquerade party and the Valentine party with the girls of Tri-Hi. Decorations, recorded music, and refreshments made these get-togethers enjoyable to members of both organiza- tions. In a more serious vein the annual func- tions of the group: the Father-and-Son, Mother-and-Son, and Alumni banquets were held. The interesting programs and speakers at these affairs made them high- lights of the season. Meetings have also featured swim con tests, Professor Quiz programs, skits, and speakers on various problems of modern life. The main project of the club this year was the presentation to the school of a memorial picture in honor of Wilson Ble- loch, of the freshman Hi-Y, who lost his life in an automobile accident. The picture was presented by the Freshman group in con- junction with the entire Hi-Y. The officers of the Senior Hi-Y for the past year were: president, Earl Kline; vice- president, Rowley Gillingham; second vice- president, Fred Snyder; treasurer, Kenneth Woodworth; and secretary, Robert Jones. The club has been very ably guided by Mr. Lange, adviser of the entire club, and four others Mr. Zelley, Mr. Buono, Mr. Wat- son Pedlow, and Mr. Huber. ROWLEY GILLINGHAM, '39. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club is open to all students of Chester High School. Miss Lorenz, the adviser, presided at the first meeting last October, and at that time the club decided that no officers should be elected. The purposes of the club are to familiar- ize students with books and to aid in the library work. SEVENTY-NINE Q ub • A O vcers G rryeL'n 13 v) s A A The programs this year consisted of modern book and short-story reviews, re- ports on modern authors, readings, and the study of library materials and refer- ences. Worksheets were distributed to acquaint the students with the library. After some practice, Miss Lorenz assigned the mem- bers certain hours to work in the library. Thus the club has been of real service to the school. WILLIAM BOUTELLE, June, '39. STAMP CLUB One of the most interesting clubs of the school is the Stamp Club. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in stamp collecting and to increase one's knowledge of the stamps of the world. At the meetings, which are held in the library every month, talks by members, exhibits of stamp collections, and stamp auctions are featured. This club is under the supervision of Miss Lorenz. There are no officers for this year. JANE ALBANY, February, '40. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club, which has been or- ganized for only two years, is for boys and girls interested in photography. The programs consist of talks about the improved methods of picture-taking and new and unusual things in photography. Miss Hibbs and Mr. Halbert have shown the movies they have made on trips. Some members of the club have learned how to develop, enlarge, and finish pictures for themselves. The school dark room, which has been unused for many years, is now equipped for photographic work. This winter the club sponsored a con- test for the best and most original picture taken by anyone in the school. Donald Mac- Intyre received the first prize for a picture of a boating scene in Essington. Honorable mention was given to Sarah Detwiler and Jack Rankin. Mr. Halbert is the adviser of the club. The officers for this year include Victor Marchlik, president; Michael Miller, vice- president; Maude MacDowell, secretary; Lloyd Robinson, treasurer. DISCUSSION CLUB The newly organized Discussion Club trains students to form and express their opinions on vital current issues. A topic is chosen before the meetings and assigned to several members to give short talks. At the same time the subject is posted in the li- brary with a list of available references. Besides the study of timely problems, there are often guest speakers at the meet- ings. These may be students or outsiders active in this work. Students in the club have also participated in outside confer- ences. The president, Earl Kline, presides at the meetings. In this he is assisted by the other officers: vice-president, Charles Journey; secretary, Fred Snyder; treasurer, Nancy Hewes. Miss Benjamin is a capable ad- viser, for she takes an active part in many other clubs of this nature. The Discussion Club is open to all jun- iors and seniors interested in current events. EARL KLINE, June, '39. GERMAN CLUB Under the guidance of its adviser, Miss Graf, the German Club has proved helpful to the German students in furthering their knowledge of the language. A German play, directed by Miss Graf, was presented in chapel this year and translated for those not familiar with the language. Those in the play were Alfred Childs, Sarah Detwiler, Sarah Stewart, and Selma Goldberg. This is only one of the many types of entertainment arranged by the organization for its members. The musi- cal programs are perhaps the finest and most enjoyed. Anecdotes, songs and games are also included to interest the club members. The German Club has taken a step for- ward in it development by sponsoring a cafeteria dance this semester for the first time since its formation. The present officers are: president, Alfred Childs; vice-president, Eleanor Stein; secre- tary and treasurer, Zelda Schultz. JULIA METZ. June, '39. LOCAL HISTORY CLUB The Local History Club has grown stead- ily in the past few years, until it is now one of the largest clubs in the school. Under the direction of Miss Jackson, Mrs. Berg- lund, and Miss Cassell, it is open to all 11A and 1 IB students who are taking his- tory. At the regular monthly meetings, inter- esting programs are presented which con- sist of plays, skits, and formal talks by various members. Plays are written about an important historical event by the several members and dramatized for the enjoyment of the others. No dues are charged, but occasionally a penny collection is taken to buy a history book for the library or for other club business. EIGHTY-TWO The officers are: Anthony Stalloni, pres- ident; George Sfuri, vice-president; Eugene Jaworsky, treasurer; Margaret Albany, sec- retary. JOHN CARNEY, June, '39. SPEECH CHOIR The Speech Choir, formerly called the Choral Speaking Club, was organized by Miss Bloom to improve the voice and speech of those interested, and to develop an appreciation for poetry. This is one club that welcomes lower classmen. The meetings of the group, held each Thursday morning, are usually devoted to practice and discussion. This year the club prepared a short program for chapel. The officers for the year are president, Louise Graf; vice-president, Virginia Lewis; treasurer, Agnes Booth; and secretary, Grace Abrams. DORIS L. MARTIN, February, '40. DUNBAR SOCIETY The Dunbar Society is the only entirely Negro organization in Chester High School, Miss Bloom acts as its adviser. The society's aim is to interest Negroes in problems concerning themselves and their race, and also to bring them into closer contact with one another. In this way they become better acquainted with their class- mates and form lasting friendships. There were two important events which the Dunbar Society sponsored this year. The most important one was the annual Spring Dance in May, given in the Doug lass School gymnasium. In April they spon- sored a very enjoyable chapel program, with the Cheyney Glee Club as guests and entertainers. The officers are president, Harold Smith; treasurer, Theresa Mann; secretary, Vivian Rothwell. JOHN FUINI, February, '40. MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club had very few meetings this year. However, under the leadership of Mr. Huber, those few were en- joyed by all who attended. The officers chosen by the mathema- ticians are: George Hewitt, president; Ralph DTorio, vice-president; Joseph For- res, treasurer; Beatrice Baer, secretary. The practical application of mathematics to everyday life is emphasized at the meet- ings. The club decided that next year only students with A average in Math will be permitted to join. WILLIAM BOUTELLE, June, '39. 1 IB CLASS The 1 IB class officers are Jack Fletcher, president; George Hewitt, vice-president; Maude MacDowell, secretary; and Eugene Yaworsky, treasurer. This class has sponsored two successful cafeteria dances. The Santa hop, arranged by a committee with Robert Stringfellow as chairman, was a pleasant and successful affair. The April Shower hop was also very enjoyable, the chairman of the committee being Kenneth Williams. The Junior Prom, the great event of the junior year, was held May 19, at the New Century Club. The class colors are maroon and gray. The 1 IB class members are proudly dis- playing their handsome new class rings. Eugene Yaworsky was chairman of the ring committee. The 1 IB class is made up of more than three hundred students. The advisers of this large class are Miss Benjamin, Miss Catherine Buck, Miss Jackson, Mr. Abrams, and Mr. Baker. The llB's have been very active so far, and it is believed that they will be very co- operative in future school affairs. DORIS L. MARTIN, February, '40. 11A CLASS The 11A class in their year of organiza- tion have had only two functions, a party in 10B and a dance in 11 A. The officers of this group are Blair McClenachan, presi- dent; Joseph Clements, vice-president; Mar- jorie McDowell, secretary; and Mary Ruf- fini, treasurer. The class advisers are Miss Emmott, Mr. Lannen, and Miss Helms. 10B CLASS The 10B class organized late in May, with the help of the advisers, Miss Jennie Mahon and Mr. Joseph Rhen, and members of the executive committee. The first mee - ing was held on May 12, and that same evening the lOB's held their first social event in the cafeteria, where the members of the class became acquainted with one another and had a fine time together. With the help of the nominating commit- tee, elections took place in home rooms, with the following results: president, Joseph Duffy; vice-president, Robert Simpson; sec- retary, Anna Smith, treasurer, Mary Cas- sell.

PEARSON As the time approached for school to open last fall, the students and the faculty were shocked to hear of the accident which caused the untimely death of Ward B. Pearson. Mr. Pearson had built a cabin and was grading the land. Exactly what happened no one knows, but it is believed that, as he stepped from the tractor, he was hit by a car. Mr. Pearson, a graduate of Dickinson College, came to Chester High School in September, 1925. He became a member of the Latin department, and specialized in teaching Caesar's Gallic Campaigns. Mr. Pearson since his youth had been an excellent tennis player, and served at school as the tennis coach. The team, under his tutelage, was undefeated for two consecutive years. Besides his work as an instructor, Mr. Pearson was the Sunday School superin- tendent of Parkside Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a firm believer in developing the physical, mental, and spiritual characteristics of the future generation. The seniors who were members of his Latin classes, and those who had other opportunities to know him, wish to honor a fine man and an excellent teacher by devoting this page to his memory. WALLACE JOURNEY, June, 1939 IN MEMORIAM JOSEPH JEFFERIS Mr. Joseph Jefferis, superintendent of the grounds and building at Chester High School for thirty-six years, died on April 14, not quite two years after his retirement. Before his appointment to this position, Mr. Jefferis was a school director, serving during the construction period of Chester High School. This kind gentleman was active in politics in this vicinity, and was an ardent sportsman, being especially interested in fishing and baseball. In recent years he made frequent visits to Florida, where he fished for big game. After each trip, Mr. Jefferis had many interesting stories to tell the students and members of the faculty. The highlight of his enthusiasm over baseball was his friendship with Jimmy Foxx, former Athletics player, who is at present with the Boston Red Sox. Mr. Jefferis also had occasion to chat with Mickey Cochrane, another famous baseball star. While he was employed by the school district, the high school campus increased in beauty from year to year under his artistic care. He was a familiar figure to all the students and teachers. To some he gave the impression of being a rather stem, dignified person, but to those who really knew him and had the opportunity to talk with him, Mr. Jefferis was one of the kindest and most fun-loving persons they had ever known. Many graduates can remember times when he rescued them from scrapes. In remembrance of the cheerful aid which Mr. Jefferis has given many of them, the seniors wish to commemorate his services in this, their Annual. NANCY HEWES, June, '39. IN MEMORIAM WILSON BLELOCH A speeding car cast the shadow of tragedy ever Chester High School when it struck down Wilson Bleloch, one of the outstanding members of the freshman class. It seemed almost unbelievable to his many friends that one so vitally alive one day could the next be in a hospital bed, suffering from injuries from which he was never to recover. Bill's abruptly terminated career in high school had been both noteworthy and promising. A graduate of Dewey Grammar School, he came here in September, 1938, and soon made himself a place among the uppermost members of his class. The Freshman Hi-Y unanimously acclaimed him as its president, and he served in that capacity until the time of his death. His utter sincerity and good nature were an in- spiration to the members of this group, and to all others who came in contact with him. Early in his freshman year, Bill, inspired by Mr. Zelley, became interested in music and took up the study of the flute, with Miss Elizabeth Peel, a recent graduate, as his teacher. So rapid was his progress on this difficult instrument that he was to have become a member of the high school orchestra within a few months. The Hi-Y has presented a picture and a plaque in his memory, to hang in the as- sembly hall. The picture, called The Horizon, shows a manly, fair-haired boy, strikingly like Bill in appearance, sitting atop a hill, gazing out toward the distance. A poem by Mrs. Leo Gessell accompanies this painting. So suggestive is it of Bill's all- too-brief life that it deserves a place here. Upon a sunny wind-blown hill He sits enchanted with the view he sees; The kingdoms of the world before him lie. Youth, and strength, and beauty all are his; With them as shining armor, He will go forth and either take or give. O Christ, who also saw the kingdoms of the world, Teach him how to live!
