Manning the '42 community fund drive as student speakers were C. H. S. juniors and seniors. Gladly they took notes preparatory to their journey, traveled to the well-baby clinics, listened to lectures on the work of social agencies. Good fortune greeted them at the Y. W. C. A., as they arrived in time for the girls' intramural swimming meet, and at the Y. M. C A., where, climaxing their study of community resources, they were guests at a turkey dinner. Yes, opportunities for the development of cooperation, sportsman- ship, and leadership are plentiful. Speakers such as Miss Besse Howard, C. H. S. grad and international news commentator, address student groups. Annual staff members, using the blueprint room as a studio, expedite the taking of senior formals for the yearbook by bringing the photographer to the campus. On the home front, the Clippers and the St. James Bulldogs, staging a post-season game, swelled the coffers of the Defense Council, while the services of pupils and teachers prove invaluable to rationing boards. THEIR OWN • •• HELPED AND IN THEIR ENCOURAGED PURSUITS RY The Service Clubs of the city. Yearly the Lions fete the football team at luncheon and award a trophy to the most valuable player. Each Optimist sponsors a boy, who in turn becomes a member of the Junior Optimist organization. Responsible for the vocational guidance program in Chester High School are the Rotarians and Business and Pro- fessional Women. Clinics are held for juniors, and seniors spend a day with someone employed in the type of work they think they will like to pursue. Kiwanians recognize sportsmanship and scholarship when they conduct their annual basketball tournament to crown a Delaware County champion team, and honor those pupils ranking high in their studies. Throughout the year two senior boys are luncheon guests for a period of a month. This year, lives of juftiors and seniors were enriched when those sponsoring the community fund drive selected them as student speakers. FDR HIS FINE WE DEDICATE This 1943 Annual to Mr. Frank Coulter, director of vocational education for the past eighteen years. Mr. Coulter, a Chester resident for many years, received most of his education in the city schools. In 1914 he was graduated from Columbia University. Before coming to Chester High School, Mr. Coulter taught in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. In addition to his professional training, he has had thirteen years of industrial experience in the American Steel Foundries at Thurlough. In 1925 the vocational department was quite different from the present one. The teaching staff consisted of only two shop instructors and two teachers of related subjects. The enrollment was only forty students. Today more than three hundred boys are taught by seven shop teachers, and six others instruct them in related subjects. From two shops— machine and patternmaking—the department has expanded until it now includes general woodwork, printing, and sheet metal shops for industrial arts pupils, and an electric shop, all housed in the new vocational building, which was opened in 1941. Industry favors Chester High School's vocational graduates because of the thorough training they re- ceive and the high standards which the department maintains. Therefore, the entire class of '43 salutes this vocational head in appreciation of his splendid work. FRANK COULTER DIRECTOR OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION 12 KARL E. AGAN PRINCIPAL EDNA S. EMMOTT DEAN OF GIRLS MORNING STUDENTS A few years from now one will acknowledge how fortunate he was to have attended Chester High School in 1943. He will appreciate its facilities and the opportunities it offered, those he grasped and even those he ignored. He will realize that he had a fine and sympa- thetic counselor in Mr. Karl E. Agan, and he will thank the Fates, who in 1935 brought Mr. Agan from P. M. C. to accept the position of Vice-Principal of Chester High School. Mr. Agan, who in 1941, succeeded Mr. George W. Pedlow as Principal, holds degrees from Union College, P. M. C., and the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of Phi Delta Kappa and Delta Upsilon, and is also active in community life. Nor will the graduate forget the friendliness of Mr. Vincent A. Halbert, Vice-Principal. Mr. Halbert received his B.S. and M.S. degrees at Bucknell. Girls in particular will remember Mis? Edna S. Emmott, herself a Chester High School graduate, who in 1931 became adviser to girls, one known for her wise suggestions and sound judgment. VINCENT A. HALBERT VICE-PRINCIPAL OHIA M.

A A C SHOULD YOU GO The academic pupil finds that his preparation includes both classical and scientific courses. Four years of English, three years of history, two years of mathematics and a language, and one year of science, plus any electives he may choose, make up the sixteen major units necessary for graduation credit. Not only is mental fitness sought, but physical fitness also. Therefore, four years of physical education and health are scheduled. It is unusual to find public speaking a required subject in high schools, but three years of it are included in Chester's academic curriculum. Through this medium many pupils acquire poise, self-confidence, and good speaking habits. Students learn by listening as well as by doing. Throughout the year, a number of vocational guidance conferences are held to aid boys and girls in choosing the right profession for their particular abilities. TO CDLLEGE Freshmen should know that the college preparatory course is planned especially for those going into professions, and anyone taking this course should be mindful of the specific entrance requirements of his pros- pective college and profession. With careful consideration of these factors, and with the resolve to maintain a B aver- age, the Chester High School graduate is accepted by the foremost colleges and uni- versities of the United States. 3HI SI AinilVSUHA And a varied life one leads, for the general course offers a broad and liberal education. Subject matter prepares the students to earn a livelihood, and also helps them to uncover any hidden talents or skills they may possess. Budding artists learn the meaning of beauty and the importance of line and color, while a group of boys seek out their natural talents in general shop. Pupils in consumer education discover that quality rather than quantity counts, and others learn the story of our illustrious state in Pennsylvania History. Advantages and disadvantages of a nursing career are unfolded by graduate nurses to those girls who are preparing themselves for this profession It is a practical and entertaining course. 23 HERE AIM a-s-d-f-g-h-j-k-1. Any day on the third floor may be heard the tapping of type- writers amid the hustle and bustle of the busy commercial department, which offers three distinct types of study: secretarial, accounting and selling, and general clerical. The secretarial course, which trains pupils to fill stenographic positions, re- quires 18 units for graduation, and only those who maintain a high grade in English are eligible to study in this field. A pleasing personality and an interest in merchandising are essential in the sell- ing and accounting division, where the various techniques and phases of selling, advertising, store management, and the principles of accounting are taught. Seventeen units are required for gradua- tion. General clerical students must complete at least one year of typing, bookkeeping, sales, or shorthand, with the additional program centering about individual needs. To assist graduates in obtaining posi- tions, the commercial department con- ducts a placement bureau, the success of Which speaks for itself, for the demand of Chester's business men exceeds the supply. LITTLE BUSINESS PEOPLE mimi MEN AND MACHINES In a modern buff-colored brick and hollow tile building, equipped with the latest and best in machinery, future artisans of America are preparing to become skilled patternmakers, elec- tricians, and machinists. These are the three trades in which the vocational curriculum offers training for a period of three years. Students are selected from those who chose shop in the general course. The boys are subjected to an aptitude test before being accepted, and only those with both manual and mental ability are considered. Because the standards of the department are high, seniors may well be congratulated. The thorough training is recognized by the industries, who quickly employ most, if not vocational graduates. THE MANUAL SKILLS Or general with shop. Here a boy who intends to enter the industrial course spends h s freshman year, for it is from this group that boys for the vocational department are chosen. As a freshie, the student spends a period of nine weeks in each of four shops: printing, woodwork, sheet metal, and mechanical drawing. It is in these shops that the vocation to which the individual's abilities may best be adapted is discovered. Subjects dealing with science, English, and mathematics are also taught, thus giving the student a broad education while he acquires an appreciative understanding of tools, materials, and processes as they are used in the industrial field. Those who continue the general with shop curriculum must complete sixteen major units in order to graduate. These boys also are qualified to fill important positions in industry, and many graduates are now working in local plants and factories. MUSIC MINDED For those desiring a better appreciation of music, or for those planning a musical career, the music major course was instituted by Charles D. Long, director. The program is so designed that the student receives a sufficient amount of academic credit for college entrance, or, if he has no college plans, the vocational training he receives makes him eligible for a good position. Many interested in music only as a hobby choose this course, also. Aside from the academic curriculum, the program includes four years of vocal or instrumental ensemble, one year of theory, two years of harmony, one year of arranging and con- ducting, and one year of music history. Credit is also given for private lessons taken outside of school. Membership in one or more of the various music clubs within the school is required, and in order to graduate, the music student must have twenty units of work to his credit. To prepare the pupil for the professions of music is the primary purpose of this course, but the instructors also strive to develop the students culturally, and improve their musical taste. Rationing, nutrition, recondition, and thrift—such are the words one hears today, and in the homemaking department, the girls are very much aware of these words, their definitions, and their importance to the homemaker and her family. Nutrition is stressed in food classes, when cooking, selec- tion of food, serving, marketing, choice of food for children and the sick are taught. To acquaint the students with the numerous details and duties of the homemaker, five weeks of intensive study are spent in each of the following fields: child care, home nursing, family relations, vocations allied to homemaking, the choosing and furnishing of a home, and home management. In the related art course, the girls are taught to apply the art principles of color and design to the purchasing of clothing and accessories, to flower arrangement, and to home furnish- ings. The purpose of this homemaking course, which is con- stantly expanding, is to develop a higher type of homeliving. Perhaps the latest course to be introduced is one preparing the girls to conduct a nursery school. VITAMIN CONSCIOUS JOSEPH E. RHEN ■J| JOHN , ALICE F. EWING k HANNAH F. CASSELL C.

Hi-Y, Student Council. General-commer- ciaL GERTRUDE S. WEAVER Because of the extraordinary size of the senior class, seven teachers were appointed to act as advisers. But the call of the armed forces has thinned the ranks of both pupils and faculty. Frank Stein accepted the very cordial invitation of Uncle Sam's army, and Mr. Veremeychuk couldn't resist the appeal of the air corps. However, the class did gain something from these losses, for Joseph E. Rhen was then appointed to succeed Mr. Stein.

T c rr scMXAH gloria bloom IN MEMORIAM When we, the Seniors of June 1943, receive our diplomas on graduation day, in the hearts of all of us will be the memojy of a former classmate. As we were entering our last year here in Chester High School, John James, as a result of an operation, passed away on Monday, August 31, 1942. Johnny, who, with many of us, graduated from Smedley Junior High School, was always willing to help in any piece of work. He was well liked by all of his friends and teachers and was noted for his good nature. One ©f Johnny's main interests was basketball, of which sport he was an ardent fan. He also was keen about fishing and gunning. The History Club and the Hi-Y have missed one of their most active members. John's quiet appreciation of and zest for life, his unassuming ways, and his ability to get along with everyone are some of the things about this classmate of ours that are best remembered. 58 59 Pictured here are the advisers of the junior class: standing, Frank Seletz, Peter Albanese, Raymond Brandt; seated, Martha Pancoast, Leah Bloom, Margaret McNeal Selina Turner. 61 To lead them through their sophomore year, the class of '45 elected Carl Stalloni, treasurer; Eleanor Clapcich, secretary; James Talbot, president; and Robert Price, vice-president. Sophomore advisers are: back row, William Alston, Sarah Hol- croft, Helen Moore, William Houpt; front, Edna Mills, Mar garet Muldoon. Margaret Tucker, Edward Capkovic. N Officers: Kathryn Truax, presi- dent; Mildred Felock, treasurer; Roy Craig, vice-president; Shirley Hartland, secretary. Advisers: Robert Forwood, Mary C. Muldoon. Herman Mail- man; Samuel D. Craven, stand- ing. The greatest honor which can be conferred upon a high school student is to be accepted into the National Honor Society. Qualifications for membership are rigid; therefore, those who are found to be eligible and are finally inducted may very well feel honored and proud. First, one must be a senior, or a junior in the second semester. Second, he must be in the upper third of his class. Third, the candidate must be selected and approved by a committee of seven faculty members. Fourth, he must meet the society's require- ments for character, service, leadership, and scholarship; and fifth, once inducted he must maintain a B average or be dropped from membership. The emblem of the Honor Society is a torch set in a keystone with the letters C., S., L, S., at its base. Those who succeeded in obtaining their pins in 1942 are Walter Bullard, present President; Margaret Knox, Vice-President; Kraina Shamof, Secretary-Treasurer; Mary Bednor, Margaret Scallan, John Czyzewski, Sara Mills, Sonya Caplan, Jennie Trush, Elizabeth Synovec and Edith Ferrone. Mr. Harold Hart- man is adviser. Student Council, endeavoring to maintain the standards of leadership and guidance, which are the responsibilities of a council organization, has an executive board composed of three 12B's, six 12A's, four juniors, three sophomores, and MARY BEDNOR President Vice-P'elid® TRANK caw Tiea u « three freshmen. Officers and members of the board were elected last spring in the American way. Booths were set up, and it was the privilege of every student to register at his class desk, then cast his vote by the use of a small voting machine. Results were tabulated, and the successful candidates were installed before the student body in September. One of the activities this year was a dramatization in as- sembly of the book, Larry. The Christmas Basket Committee, under the supervision of Jennie Trush, was able to donate to needy tamilies, forty-two gift certificates, worth $4.00 each. Christmas decorations of laurel in the halls were hung by a committee, of which Helen Derewianka was chairman. ELEANOR CLAPCICH Secretary FRANCES CARIELLO EDWARD WESOLOWSKI MALCOLM WHITLOCK ROBERT PRICE JAMES TALBOT HELEN DEREWIANKA DONALD HUMMEL JENNIE TRUSH DONALD PHILLIPS WILLIAM CLARK The most important undertaking, however, was the induction of the Victory Corps program into Chester High School on February 4. Administration of the corps is handled by Student Council in cooperation with faculty members. Frank Carr, Chairman; Eleanor Clapcich, Frances Cariello, James Talbot, and Malcolm Whitlock represent the council committee. Advisers are Miss Helen L. Buck, who, for the dura- tion, is a WAVE, and Mr. Joseph E. Rhen. Future Sarah Bernhardts and Maurice Evanses study the many phases of dramatics by presenting amateur programs and plays for the benefit of both club and school, and by listening to the lectures or watching the demonstrations of personalities from the stage world. Plays were the keynote during the past season. A pantomime skit, The Light Went Out and a one-act comedy, Elmer, were given at two of the monthly meet- ings of the Dramatic Society. The whole school, however, enjoyed the Christmas presentation of Percival Wilde's The Toy Shop. Staging and lighting are ananged by a crew supervised by Mr. Milton Woodlen. Properties and make-up are kept in the stock-room under the care of Miss Sara Holcroft and Miss Regina Hynes. The acting is expertly directed by Miss Mary C. Muldoon. During the year Mr. Gordon Miller, of Miller Costumers, Philadelphia, demonstrated the various techniques in the application of make-up and its importance in stage work. Monologues, vocal and instrumental solos were contributed by various members, and one amateur program featured Bertice Reading, protege of Bill Robinson, the famous Negro dancer. (TJRT6R RHYTHM IN THEIR SOULS Taught to the tune of the hickory stick, but for a different purpose, are the seven musical organizations, under the supervision of Miss Edna M. Mills, Mr. Charles D. Long, and Mr. Lewis R. Zelley. The Choir furnishes music for church and baccalaureate services, while members of Mixed Chorus and the Boys' Glee Club are popular contributors to the Choral Festival. Numbers of the last group, this year, have been focused on timely service songs. Thrust almost into obscurity by blackout regulations, the Dance Band has had few opportunities to play for the Friday night dances. Perhaps the largest choral group is the Girls' Glee Club, which presented The Babe of Bethlehem at the Christmas Carol Service. Directed by Mr. Long, the Band inspires the Victory Corps, the foot- ball team, and the draftees on to victory. On February 19, the Veterans' Council presented to this organization, a Stand of Colors, in apprecia- tion of their various contributions to the community. The distinguished guest of honor was Governor Edward Martin. The Concert Orchestra, which participates in all assembly programs, played at the opening luncheon of the Community Fund Drive, at which Mayor La Guardia, of New York, was the principal speaker. Numbers for the graduation exercises of the February, '43 class were arranged and ably directed by Anthony Fusco, student leader. I HI-Y The purpose of Hi-Y, an organization affili- ated with the Y. M. C. A., is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and commu- nity, high standards of Christian character. Meetings are held weekly at the Y. M. C. A. under the leadership of Malcolm Whitlock, President; Richard Hoffman, Vice-President; Robert Price, Secretary; and William Davis, Treasurer. During the fall members were active in the salvage drive. Early in December the boys planned a fare- well dinner in honor of their adviser, Mr. Wil- liam Alston, who enlisted in the Navy. Mr. Samuel D. Craven succeeded Mr. Alston. Back to 1880 one must go in order to trace the history of Chester's news- paper. Through the years, the Weekly Tribune, four hand-written pages, eight by five in size, has been supplanted by the printed newspaper, the Welcome. Coradina LaRose, Editor-in-Chief; Helen Derewianka, News Editor; Harrison Maitland, Sports Editor; Katheryn Zayach, Circulation Manager; and other staff members, with advisers, Miss Clara P. Riley, Mrs. Margaret S. Tucker, and Mr. Albert J. Buono, inform the 1800 pupils of the latest school activities, improvements, and gossip. 76 A class annual has been a tradition since 1913, first appearing as the last issue of the monthly magazine, the Spectrum, and featuring the extra- curricular activities of the seniors. In 1914, the yearbook became a separate publication. Thus, this 1943 Annual is a far cry from that published thirty years ago. Not only has the method of printing changed from letterpress to photolithog- raphy, making possible more illustra- tions, but a central theme emphasizes the curricular and extra-curricular pro- grams as essential for a full school life. Dorothy Grant is Editor; Joseph Pepe, Assistant Editor; Margaret Knox, Busi- ness Manager; Miss Mary V. Carroll, Adviser. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Interscholastic athletics are controlled by an Athletic Council, with membership consisting of coaches, the faculty manager, two faculty members, and the principal, who acts as chairman. Basic athletic policies to be followed in the high school as well as those governing the relationship of the school with the interested public are formulated by this body. The wishes of the council are carried out by the faculty manager. Following the trend among the larger high schools, Chester abandoned the use of the Boys' Athletic Association this year and organized a C club. As boys earn and are awarded their varsity C, they automatically become eligible for membership. This organ- ization is seeking to stimulate and maintain the interest of boys in athletics and hopes to accomplish its aims through assembly programs, leadership and fellowship in sports. Continuance of interscholastic athletics during these times has been difficult. However, the Clippers are cooperating in the war effort by stressing competitive sports more than ever, and are maintaining interscholastic schedules and relationships in all sports as far as possible. Joseph Pepe, captain oi the '42 eleven, with lour years of service, heads the Varsity Club, while Margaret Marth, stellar basketball co-captain, is president of the Girls' A. A. Mr. Charles A. Giles is faculty manager of athletics, with Miss Regina G. Hynes, adviser of girls' activities. 78 Chester, under a new coaching staff, had a rather successful football season with six wins, two ties, and two defeats. Those who went down before the guns of the Clipper Ship were Ridley Township, 26-0; Collingdale, 6-0; Ridley Park, 20-0; Wilmington, 21-0; Eddystone, 13-0; St. James, 13-6. Despite 0-0 ties with Norris- town and Media, the Clippers remained undefeated in Delaware County ranks, losing only to Lower Merion, 0-26; and Abing- ton, 7-13. With the victory over St. James, the Orange and Black received the City Championship Trophy from the Civilian Defense Council, for whose benefit the game was played. 79 Coach Roy Johnson'� Junior Clipper� accounted for themselves by defeating Smedley Junior High School and CoUlngdale. tielng Ridley Park, and losing to Media and the third team of the Varsity. FOOTBALL Lettermen who ended their high school playing career are: Shorty Dignazio, Non Stalloni, Ben Georgini, Tony Natale, Jack Miller, Charlie Harsch, Stan Drulyk, Dan Friedkin, Tom Lenik, Sam Ten- nant, Captain Joe Pepe, and Manager, Ernest Ford. Those returning include Captain-elect Hal Dehner, Pete Cellini, Earl Edge, Johnny Fry, Bill Hippie, Al Koury, Felix Miller, Henry Ponci, Ray Scruggs, Jim Shrom, and Manager Bob Fulton. Non Stalloni, with three years service, was selected All-Suburban, All-Delaware County first team guard, and received All-State honorable men- tion along with the trophy presented by the Lions' Club to Chester's most valuable player. Playing his fourth year at center, Captain Joe Pepe was selected on the second All-Suburban and All-Delaware County teams, with All-State honorable mention. Shorty Dignazio received a berth in the All-County backfield and All-Suburban honorable mention along with Jack Miller. Head Coach Hal Brewster, Line Coach, Bob Sholly and Backfield Coach, Babe Buono, the mainstay of the Clipper Ship, were pleased with the results of the season under a new regime. BOYS’ BASKETBALL With '’Bob Forwood, former Clifton Heights mentor succeeding Coach Ellis Dwyer, Chester retained their title of Section 2 Champs. The Clippers won fifteen games and lost three, the reverses going to Lower Merion, Lansdowne, and St. lames. The fifteenth victory was one of thrills. Bat- tling all the way, Chester emerged victorious over Radnor in an extra period to clinch the sectional honors. Entering the P. I. A. A. playoffs at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Palestra, in their bid for the District crown, the Orange and Black defeated the Bridgeport Dragons, win- ner of Section 6, 38-14. They next met Quak- ertown, Bux-Mont County League Champs, and won an uphill battle, in the closing five minutes, 22-18. In the District Finals, how- ever, the Clippers bowed to Lower Merion, defending District and State Champions. CHAMPIONS”—SlCTIDN II “RUNNERS-UP’-DISTRICT I GIRLS VARSITY Getting off to a slow start, but improving as the season progressed, the Clipperettes closed the season with only- two games in their favor, wins over Eddystone, and Ridley Township, and losses to Norristown, Radnor, Darby, Notre Dame, Collingdale, and Media. Only Ruth Arbogast and Anna Bratun, forwards, and Jane Eyre, guard, will return, for Coach Arleyne Pittenger loses by graduation Co-Cap- tains Dorothy Baynard and Margaret Marth; Gloria Bloom, Bertha Cole, and Doris Faverio. NO 5MCKIC BASKET BALL BASKETBALL BOYS' JAYVEE Buono's Jayvees closed the season in a triple tie for first place in the Section 2 league, with eight wins and two losses. Kleinman was the scoring ace with a total of 112 points, but received keen competition from Blazynski and Anthony, who accounted for 74 and 58 points respectively. GIRLS' JAYVEE Led by Jean Tenuto, the Junior Clipperettes brought home one victory in seven tries, an exciting 16-11 win over Ridley Township. Dorothy Nothnagle, freshman forward, made most of the goals. Good team work, how- ever, was contributed by Charlotte Seiler, Betty Collins, Phyllis Ensbrenner, forwards; Joan Luttrell, Gladys Journey, and Novella Wharton. CROSS COUNTRY TRACK With the return of two lone lettermen, Vern Fairchilds and Manager Floyd Pierce, Ches- ter's Harriers had a rather poor season, los- ing meets to Lower Merion, Norristown, Upper Darby, and Williamson Trade School. Fairchilds, however, upheld the Clippers by placing third in the Marcus Hook Lions' Club and District 1 meets. Some of the most promising of Coach Craven's holdovers are Jack Cook, Bill Kohland, Frank Carr, Bressie Cellini, and Robert Gallager. The outlook for the Cindermen seems bright with the addition of Jack Cook, Canky Clark, Ray Scruggs, Felix Miller, from Smedley, and William Pitts from Doug- lass. Jerry Rotwein, in the javelin and discus, and Henry Keith, in the high jump, have a good chance to compete in the State Cham- pionships. Coach Bob Sholly's veterans are Bill Green, Jack Molette, Keith, Rotwein, lettermen; Al Koury, Earl Edge, Sam Misu- rowski, and Ted Ryser.

With the induction of the Victory Corps on Thursday, February 4, another link in the chain of Chester's historic events was added. The Victory Corps is a national voluntary organization for secondary schools, designed to mobilize the students for more effective preparation for and participation in wartime service. The induction program was impressive. Eight hundred juniors and seniors assembled in the gymnasium, where two hundred eighty of their classmates took the oath of allegiance to the Victory Corps. Each division was installed by a city official, a prominent citizen, or a member of the armed forces. Among the guests were Ralph F. Swarts, Mayor; Herbert DeLong, Manager of the Bell Telephone Company; Walter Irwin, of the Philadelphia Electric Company; Wayne Hamilton, Executive Secretary of the Civilian Defense Council; Chief Gunner's Mate, Howard J.
