CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY 45 Klink devotes his interests to more scientific activities. He is a radio fan and broadcasts on the air with amateur fre- quencies. He comes from Germantown. Ted had a fiery temperament before coming to school, but now he seeks relief by frequent use of the fire-escapes. He has done well during his time at school. His excellent voice is invaluable to the Glee Club and he also plays football. His only drawback is Freeman. Dave Hamerstrom comes from Boston. He is the most mature member of the Class. He is an artist and has illus- trated the last two editions of THE CAERULEAN and has had numerous cuts in The Lantern. He is a member of the Glee Club, is a miler on the track team, plays football, is the Ex- change Editor of The Wissahickon and is a Councillor. Also he is editor-in-chief of THE CAERULEAN. Happy Harroun is the most carefree of us. He comes from Summit, N. J. He plays baseball, was Captain of the football team, and is a councillor. He is President of the Ath- letic Association. ,lim Hammond comes from Wilmington. He leads a normal life unless Mr. Sokol's assignment is two lines longer than usual. Then he is seen going around wild-eyed and dis- heartened, frothing at the mouth and muttering German oaths under his breath. He plays soccer and baseball and sings in the Glee Club. Only one more member has joined us this year, Buddy Datesman. Joe comes from Germantown, where he is the idol of the fair sex-ask him! He is the greatest Spanish athlete, next to the Kid. Joe made his letter playing football. PAUL M. STURGES

44 THE CAERULEAN Gilman ihintnrg Our president, John Blanchard, has just introduced you to the Class of 1931, and it is my pleasant duty as Historian to sketch briefly the history of this class during its eleven years at school. The original members came to school in September 1919, a few months before prohibition was enforced, but in spite of that the class has managed to stick together rather well. Of the original members, the Historian alone survives. During the D class year, two more members entered - Douglas Galloway and Roger Eastlake-the classfs two ex- tremes. Doug doesn't say an awful lot . . . Roger is on the Student Council and the Athletic Association. Jack Blanchard came from Trenton, joining the class in its first form year. He is most popular and has partici- pated in more school activities than any other member. He was Vice-President of the class in the second form year. He has been President ever since. He was elected to last year's Student Council but this year refused to be a member. He has played in the Instrumental Club for a number of years and this year was leader. He sings in the Glee Club, and plays football and baseball. In the fourth form year, Hotsy Sukhsvasti from Siam, John Freeman from Virginia, and Monty Haines joined the class. Hotsy plays tennis and boxes. He also plays in the ln- strumental Club. He is Siam's hope of holding the world bantam weight championship of the ring. John Freeman edits The Wissahickon. He is more or less skeptical on the virtues of about everything except Bobby Burns, Lewis, and Virginia. Monty took several years before realizing the superiority of our class to that of 1930. He is Editor-in-Chief of The Lan- tern. He also played football, basketball and baseball. He managed basketball a year ago and is on The Wissahickon and CAERULEAN Boards. Joe Parachini joined us in this year. He comes from West New York. He plays soccer and track and co-edits The Lan- tern with Monty. His voice is tolerated in the Glee Club if nowhere else. Eddie Reader comes from New Haven. His giddy speed in court walking and playing football has given him the name Lightnin'.', Other more natural phenomena, Satch.', Ed has managed baseball, played football, and played two years in the Instrumental Club. This year he was elected Leader of the Glee Club. Joe Connors comes from Auburn, Maine. Joe is President of the Student Council, captain of the baseball team and plays football and basketball. Jack Vffhite joined us in the Fifth Form with George Bright, Gran Klink, Ted Everhart, Dave Hamerstrom, Happy Harroun and Jim Hammond. Jack comes from Waterbury. He is sane enough except when Freeman is punning. Then he be- comes subject to fits and spasmodic quiverings. He is a coun- cillor and managed baseball this spring. He also sings in the Glee Club and is Vice President of the Class. George Bright comes from Pottsville. He does most of the kicking, but it isn't long before one sees that his bark is worse than his bite. He plays baseball and football.

THE CAERULEAN Qllaas linrm 1 There's a joyful song to our hearts has won, Now we've achieved lifeis first great aim. A fleeting glance at a task well done, An hour or so of a short-lived fame. And it's not for the sake of a moment's pride Or the selfish hope of a scholar's prize, For the lust for glory has in us died And in its place a sorrow lies. II There's a joyful song in our hearts tonight Mingled with sorrow's slow refrain, For we see life's first great blinding light, And brilliant beams bring a touch of pain. The hour has come when we part from school And the comrades of youth must separate, For the days are gone of the golden rule. Each of us goes by a different gate. JOHN M. FREEMAN
