CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY 83 24. The studious and obedient hear their names read out in chapel. 25. And just for that they pack up and leave school today. 26. Others leave. 27. Until all have left for the Easter vacation. u APRIL 6. We are back in session again. Ball players and track men return early. 7. On which there will be no comments because no impor- tant ones were heard-a typical slumbereris day. 8. The following is a report made of an inspection of the Sixth Form: Sturges tinkering with his Victrolag Ever- hart rasping on a ukeleleg Parachini and Sukhsvasti studying, Connors wandering about the library tprob- ably practising checkersjg Blanchard swinging a bat, and Hamerstrom and Freeman among the missing. 9. Freeman cracks an original joke. Oh! the joke died a hasty death, but after all these years, to have it ac- ually happen-how could I help mentioning it. 10. C. H. A. opens league baseball by heating G. A., 3-2. . Everhart and Rich are personally escorted from Cam- den. Explanatory facts are cloudy and uncertain. 12. The Indoor-outdoor-Sunday league starts with usual gusto. Crowds line Willow Grove Ave. to View the opening spectacle. 14. C. H. A., 95 W. P. H., 6. 15. Ferguson has bespangled his shoes with paint of all colors. Probably he expects to fly by a reflecting power of light ray, or something. 16. The tennis team beats LaSalle College Prep. 3-0. Cook is elected captain of tennis. 17. Baseball team ekes out a 2-1 win against Episcopal. 18. We lose a close tennis match to Bordentown Military Academy, 5-4. 19. Mr. Elwell gives a beautiful recital of the William Tell Overture and Dreams, the last of which is appropriate for this new spring weather. 11 20. 21. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. MAY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Temple Freshmen defeat C. H. A. tennis, 3-0. The track team ties G. F. S., 40-40, in great meet. C. H. A. tennis team wins over Drexel Fresh, 2-1. C. H. A. baseball team, 3, Haverford School, 6. Boarders attend Eleanor Bodine's dance at night. The relay team places fourth at Franklin Field. A very wet spring rain ends any prospective meetings on the tennis courts, that are inspired from last night. A newly discovered nest of spry, young rabbits pro- vides the track team with its day's workout. C. H. A. tennis team, 3, Haverford High, 4. ' J. Williams makes a hurried exit from the dining room, caused no doubt by his duck pants-only these were more the color of a female duck. Four members of the Fourth Form not only give the school its first dramatic event in years, but present one excellently. Hotsy Sukhsvasti, at first thought a bit upsetting, starts things with a bang. ' C. H. A., 0, P. C., 3. Relay team comes in fourth out of eight in the Dela- ware Relays. The C. H. Presbyterian scores an overwhelming vic- tory over St. Martins-in-the-Fields. They gain such recognition as that of having a councillor sent up to check on its attendants from school. Taylor School tennis team beats C. H. A., 3-2. Mr. Elwell walks out on a Glee Club which tends to he absent a little too long. Dr. Miken Dorizas gives a lecture on India in the schoolroom. Rain sends the ball team to burrow around the swamp lands and sand dunes in the Rec for their daily prac- tice. It also puts the kibosh on our game, scheduled for to- day with Friends Central.

.. THE C AERULEAN Myers, succeeds in defending General Butler. Friday, the 13th-and the team loses a close game to Germantown Friends. ' Movies are attended in Germantown. The Presbyterian Church takes up the fight again as St. Martins-in-the-Fields suffers from the old split in the religious tendencies of the school. First call for track candidates and assistant managers. In the second debate things are evened up by the E. Dfs. Benefits and non-benefits of the Student Council are discussed. The team loses to Penn Charter. A goodly crowd hears a good concert given by the Glee and Instrumental clubs. Very early-We are occupied with a most enjoyable dance following the concert. Later--much rest and quiet, One of those delightful Sundays when everyone seems contented to loaf. Mr. Fall give a little lecture on George Washington. For the afternoon we make use of Saturday privileges. r Dr. Miken Dorizas gives an illustrated talk on Russia in schoolroom, and then takes on the whole Lower School in the gym. Harroun comes down without 'fthe pants. Blushingly we add that, of course, he had others on. Friends Central, league champions, outclasses the team, 52-28. Mr. Allen concedes the honors in evening chapel to Mr. Robinson. He finds in that special service that his voice cannot begin to compete with organas. MARCH St. Martins-in-the-Fields still holds more lure for church- goers than the Presbyterian Church in Chestnut Hill. The gym team is working hard for its exhibition. The exhibition goes over in great style before a packed gym. The school meets in study hall to decide on spring sports. A large majority of boys go to the movies, certain board- ers, however, expecting to be occupied with a play and dance at Springside, are extremely disappointed to find itis to be in April. We attend church at St. Martins-in-the-Fields. It is rapidly becoming a tradition. All spring sports begin in earnest. A large squad, boasting only three letter men, report for the first practice. Jack White is elected baseball manager. A debate eccentric is presented before study hall. Sukhs- vasti, arguing for something or other, says that 941 per cent of the people die in bed, so Freeman igood old John, ever pointlessl , replies that 94 per cent or more are born in bed, thus proving-what? All answers should besent . . . incaseof . . .I Day off for all. Movies and other pastimes common to Saturdays. Mr. Elwell renders his second musical half-hour. Hopes of spring are smothered by a four-inch snow storm. No baseball and not much of anything. ' Dr. Dorizas finishes his lecture on Russia in study hall. Seen on bulletin board: 4'Wanted: 6 or 8 assistant man- agers for baseball who do not have to attend 4.30-most sincerely-signed, J. White, Mgr. ' The Bible enigma which stuck Saul sticks the school, too, but in the ribs or under the arm or any other ticklish place. The first Junior Prom ever to be held at C. H. A. is a huge success. The decorations tnot the least of which were the budding flowers of womanhoodl were beautiful -the orchestra was good and, as before, it was a huge success. The School as a whole recuperates from loss of sleep. There are some, however, who find it hard to 'recupe from the loss of certain women. More recuperating. Baseball uniforms are given out to deserving members of the squad.
