HENRY J. NEAL Mingled with the pleasures and joys of assembling for another year's work, there is a feeling of sadness as we again take up our school ac- tivities. In the death of our supervisor, Mr. Neal, every student and member of the faculty feels a sense of personal loss. The Knight, in behalf of the student body, extends to his bereaved family and loved ones its deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. THE FRESHMEN With the opening of school the many activities awaken after being dormant during the hot summer months. The freshmen come and they are filled with vim and vigor and they intend to make their class the best class in Collingswood High Sch-ool. Here are a few Words to those who are entering High School for the first time and to whom this magazine is dedicated. This year marks a great change in your lives. You are given more liberties and are under less restraint than you were in the grades. It is your duty not to abuse the many privileges granted you. You have reached an age where things are expected of you. You are not the children you were a year ago. You have come to an age where you see and understand things from a different point of view. The year of your graduation, 1926, should be a memorable one, not only because it marks the time of your graduation but because great things will be happening in the outside world. In that year the great Delaware Bridge will be completed. This marvelous feat of engineering is certainly an event which should go down in history. Also in that year the great World's Fair will be at its height. There will be a steady bustle as people go to and from this wonderful Fair, a thing far beyond description. Freshmen, the business conditions are such to-day that it behooves you to make the best of your education. Get ashmuch schooling as you 8 THE KNIGHT can. Comparatively few people -in this world are successful without an education. In any position where there restslresponsibility an employer invari- ably demands at least a high school education. Opportunities come only once and it is up to you to make the best of them. Here is your opportunity. A ORGANIZATIONS The football team and the many clubs have come to life again. It seems that the football team is even better than last year's team and has every prospect of a successful seas-on. It is the duty of all of 'us to boost and encourage the fellows in their battles so that they may he victorious and add a few more honors to those already won. Clubs and societies are important in school life. It is one of the means by which the student's interest in school work is held-especially those who are unable to make the athletic teams. If they do not play on any team their interest naturally falls on some other activity. Some of the clubs have new ideas and plans of procedure for this year. For instance the Hi-Y group has plans for the year that will make the meetings much more enjoyable for the fellows. Instead of having a speaker every week, as has been the custom, there will be lively dis- cussions carried on by the fellows two or three nights in the month. One night a month there will be a supper prepared entirely by the members of the group. V I The other organizations also expect to have a bigger and better year. The Seniors began the year with an exciting political campaign. It took strong arguing and heated discussions to decide who should be their president. After three years in Collingswood High School they all feel fully rewarded by having the honor of being members of the Senior Class. When they, graduate next June, their 'ways will part. Their many good times together will be only memories of the past. The staff of The Knightn has striven hard in the attempt to put forth a publication worthy of our school, oneethat will interest every reader and make him glad that he subscribed to f'The Knight. No d-oubt everyone is not pleased. It would be surprising indeed if we could satisfy over seven hundred different tastes. All that we can say is that if those who are dissatisfied will offer any suggestion that they have for improvement, it would be gratefully received. It is really the duty of anyone who has some ideas for improvement of the magazine to suggest them to some member of the Staff. To hold back your 'sug- gestion is to hold back a better publication.

It does look like it, breathed Anne as she gazed rapturously into the mirror and then at the fashion book in her hand. It does-it doesf' She tugged painstakingly at the yellow material wrapped around her slim body and after many futile attempts managed to get it draped satisfactorily. It isn't so bad, she told herself admiringly and then consulted the fashion book for the thirtieth time, which, strange as it may seem fin a home like Anne'sJ, contained the latest Parisi-en fashions. Did Aunt Emm subscribe to this marvelous book of the modes? By no means. She did take the Spinster's Review and the Parson's Weekly, but-this book. It was only by chance that it had come into Anne's possession. A dressmaker, recently from the city, was boarding at Bartlett's, and some way or other-when Miranda Bartlett had stacked up a pile of her old magazines for Aunt Emm to read-this book of magic had gotten mixed in. Anne had discovered it first and had meant to return it, but catching sight of the wonders it contained, couldn't resist just looking thro' it once, as she told herself. And so now-before the old cracked attic mirror hanging unsteadily from a beam, we find Anne, a graceful and lovely figure in an evening dress, waving a huge feather duster for want of an ostrich fan. Shoes are a bit wobbly, she conceded, glancing down at her two small feet whoseheels were awkwardly poised on two empty spools. I don't care -guess I can walk as good as those ladies, glancing covetously at the French heels pictured in the fashion book. Of course-spools is spools, but-why I can walk, she exclaimed joyously and went click-clacking over the bare floor to prove it. However, calamity awaited her. Just as she reached the attic door- way, what should she do but hobble straight into Aunt Emm. When you are an orphan and your only relative is an Aunt Emm, who at best is a particular old maid, it isn't wise to go Hopping pell-mell into said Aunt Emm unless you're sure there's a soft spot to fall on-which there wasn't. 512 THE KNIGHT Well, puffed Aunt Emm, from her unbecoming seat on the floor. What do you call this, anyway? That's what I want to know, you- you- she paused for breath, and while she paused Anne had a wild desire to laugh. But that would have been fatal. However, 'there sat Aunt Emm, gaunt, red and agitated, her gold-rimmed spectacles sitting awry on her pointed nose and the small, straggly wisps of grey hair, which were always slicked back so tight, stuck out straight, giving her the effect of a bristling porcupine. Picking herself up gingerly and readjusting her glasses, Aunt Emm stopped suddenly in the brushing-off process to take an astonished look at her neice- Well I snum!! If you ain't gone and got out your own m-other's dress, as I've been after saving these fifteen years-cause I knew as how it would come in handy some day. Take that off this minute-I'll teach you to go snooping around things in this house with- out so much as asking me-guess Ilve got a little say around here yet- Do as I say now, as Anne hesitated. But Aunt Emm, this was Mother's and Daddy said-before he died -that I could have all her things and I- Yes-if that ain't just like a man-giving away things he don't know nothing about-get that off I say-why-why-what! Anne Win- throw Trotter! Hev yew been a-reading 0' thet'? Aunt Emm's scathing forefinger pointed with horror at the treasured Styles from Paris. Ain't I brung you up better'n to read dime novels like that-oho!-so its styles is it, as she turned the pages gingerly- well if you weren't too. busy watching young Timothy Tyler last Wednesday night in Prayer Meeting maybe-yew heard the parson say as how- but Anne had fled -leaving the beloved relation to have it out with herself. That night at supper Anne was unusually calm and pale, and it was with a sigh of relief that she saw Aunt Emm fasten her bonnet securely on the back of her head and prepare to go out-'Tm going to Bartlett's. I told Miranda I'd come to Sewing Circle to-night-but mind you finish those dishes and darn them stockings and-well you may as well go to bed then,,cause we'll be putting up jell to-morrow and I want you up by four. With that she swept majestically outg leaving Anne with flushed cheeks bending over the dishes. With rising indignation she re- called the remarks of her aunt, and inwardly rebelled that she should bend to the will of this woman who, as Anne put it, never loved me anyway. I won't stand it-that's all. She said I could go to the party next Thursday night-but she knows I won't go if I have to wear that old brown dress again-I've worn it three years for best now and-all the other girls are getting new ones-nice new thin ones-I won't wear it-I won't-I won't-. Stamping her foot emphatically, Anne went on with the dishes. I'll-I'll run away-that's what I'll do! When the words were out of her mouth she stopped aghast. Run away-she-run away from Aunt Emm-why only story book girls did that. But why shouldn't she? Aunt Emm would only be glad, she argued and, 1'll 13 THE KNIGHT go somewhere where I can 'have a dress and shoes with tall thin heels and-oh, and a fan and everything. A few minutes 'later Anne paused in the middle of the small bed- room under the eaves that had been hers since infancy. Her chin quiv- ered as she looked around, bidding farewell to all that had been dear to her. You're all I've got in the whole world, she whispered, but instinctively her hand tightened on the handle of her packed carpet bag which held her few necessities. Good-bye-little room-I-might come back sometime-after-after I get a fan and a dress and-oh!-I do sort of hate to leave you-but-its Aunt Emm. I can't stand her- and-and I won't wear my brown dress any longer. With that she tiptoed out of the room and went softly downstairs. Guess I'll grab a few cookies-I might need 'em before I get to-to where I'm going, she finished lamely. The sun was nearing the horizon when at last she walked down the path and closed the front gate be- hind her. I guess I'll cut across Grahams' field, she thought, and turned in that direction. Wonder what Aunt Emm will say when she finds I'm gone? Guess she'll be sorry then. What shall I do when the sun goes down-I hate the dark-wonder if there's any bears around here or-of-of course there aren't. I'll just keep walking and when it gets dark, I'll stop and lay down and sleep and then when its light I'll go on again-hm! wonder how Aunt Emm'll get the jelly done all alone to-morrow. Well, I don't care, it serves her right. She ought to know I- Why, hello, Anne. With a start Anne looked up and there, under a large apple tree, sat an oldish man with white hair and kind gray eyes- Oh! Uncle Jim! I-you scared me, stammered Anne. The man looked at her quizzically. I-Ie was not really her uncle-but every- one called him Uncle Jim. Where you calc'lating to go, little girl, with your bag and bonnet and all? Aunt Emm sending you somewheres, is she? Wa'al now, that's real nice of you to be always doing something fer your old aunt. I allus said you was a good girl, Anne-and I say it now-not every girl is ready at the beck and call of those as needs her. But you, Anneg well, you're all right? I-Oh! Uncle Jim, don't! At the real anguish in the girl's voice the old man stopped speaking. Why, Anne, honey, -as the girl's gray eyes filled with tears- What is it? Can't you tell your Uncle Jim?,' Oh!-you don't know me-you don't, Uncle Jim. You think I'm good and-and everything, but-I'm not-Uncle Jim, I'm -she lowered her voice and leaned toward him-'Tm running away. Hm! said the man. Wall, now you must hev some reason--can't you jest tell me 'bout it-maybe-not likely--but maybe an old feller like me could-well, sort 0' put you on the right track, so to speak. 14 THE KNIGHT It was too much for Anne-she sank down on the soft turf beside him and with her head bent and hands nervously clutching each other, she poured her whole story into the sympathetic ears of Uncle Jim. And, she concluded, I won't go to that party next Thursday, Uncle Jim, if I have to wear that brown dress. Uncle Jim, its got tucks and nobody wears tucks now. No, course they don't, comforted Uncle Jim, tho' I don't know as I'd know a tuck from a hole in the ground-but perhaps we can fix it after all. What do you say to this? I know where I can get some nice dress goods just like you spoke of, and we'll ask thet new dress- maker over to Bartlett's to help make it, and you can wear it next Thursday and-and we won't have any tucks in it, either, he finished triumphantly. Oh! honest, Uncle Jim? Anneis eyes grew big with anticipation. But wouldn't it cost a, lot, Uncle Jim?-I've only got 51.42 of my own and I did so want to get a new collar and some beads like Rachel's- but- , Oh! that'll be all right, said Uncle Jim easily. Guess a friend can give another friend a present once in a while, can't he? And we're friends, ain't we? And, Uncle Jim-a fan-what'll I do for a fan? Hm! 'sposing I look next time I go to town, which will probably be to-morrow or next day, and see what kind of fans they got-guess we could get one reasonable. Oh! Uncle Jim, do I look any whiter to you-or smoother-or nicer? She bent her head expectantly, so he could get a better view of her fiushed cheeks. Well now, I don't know but what you do, he drawled. Hadn't noticed, tho'. Well, I'll tell you a secret, if you won't tell a soul-I've been beau- tifying it! Uncle Jim whistled softly through his teeth. Yes, sir-- read it in a book-use cold cream every night and, Uncle Jim, I do-I set a half a pint of cream in the ice chest every night and when it gets good and cold I slap it on good. Of course, Aunt Emm don't know-- but it has been an improvement, Uncle Jim, don't you think so? The man nodded gravely, but the twinkle in his eye became more pronounced. I But-'sposen Aunt Emm shouldn't let me accept the-the dress and all-oh! Uncle Jim, what will I do? We'll fix her all right-just you Hatter her up a bit-that'll bring her 'round. Just tell her that I-yes, you can lay it on to me if you want to-that I just dote on her luminous eyes-be sure and make it luminous, not illuminous, and that I would rather sit by her than-than the-the-the Queen of Sheby, he ended desperately. Do you think that'll do it? she asked anxiously. 15 THE KNIGHT Sure of it, he nodded, just tell a woman she's good looking and you can do about as you want to with her. Thank you so much, Uncle Jim, but I've got to get home and do those stockings before Aunt Emm gets home. Shall we go? gallantly offering her his arm, which she accepted with mocking grace, the two of them-the old man, tall and hearty, and the young slip of a girl laughing wistfully-walked slowly through the orchard. See what Uncle Jim has given me, cried Anne a few days later, standing excitedly before Aunt Emm and spreading a wealth of soft shimmering yellow material over her young shoulders. He says--oh! Aunt Emmf' as the threatening frown appeared on Aunt Emm's face, he says that-that your hair is-ravenous, Aunt Ernm and QAunt Emm consciously perked upj, he-he loves your eyebrows-oh, and Aunt Emm, as that fair lady began t-o look rather doubtful, he-he says you make the best jam this side of the Atlantic Ocean. That was too much for Aunt Emm, who gently smoothing her faded apron, exclaimed, My land, now ain't that just like a man?,' IMPRESSIONS OF THE HUDSON RIVER From the Battery to Bear Mountain Park Hudson River! The. very name suggests history to our minds. In all parts of these great United States, I do not believe there is a single river which serves as a natural monument to so many great events in the history of this country as does the Hudson. Let us take a trip up this wonderful river and discuss the monu- ments as we pass them. We prepare to start at the Battery. How queer that a stretch of cement pavements, colossal buildings, a few small park lawns and the rattling, roaring elevated trains on their trestles should be called a battery. But here, in this very place, is the ground upon which Peter Stuyvestant built his parapets to protect the Dutch settle- ment from the English in 1664. But come, let us turn to the bay itself and view an-other of the .Hudson's wonders. The Statue of Liberty, given as a token of friendship to America by the French. The boat on which we ride has started up the river. On the Jersey side nothing but marshland is seen until we come abreast of Fourteenth Street, New York City, then Jersey City begins. On the New York side, it must stun the foreigner who is not accustomed to anything but plain hills and vales. Tall buildings, one of which reaches a height of 795 feet are numerous. It is appalling to see these mighty structures of steel and stone, yet, should you have lived one hundred years ago, you might easily, from a height of a hundred feet, have seen the whole city laid out before you. The impression of power and wealth comes to you and stamps itself upon your brain. But this is only the lower half of the city. So we travel up the river until we reach the residential sec- 16 THE KNIGHT tion of theicityg a beautiful place of white streets, brownstone and marble houses and occasionally a glimpse of a beautiful park. The city begins to merge into the suburbs, and finally into the woods of the outlying districts. Is there anything of historical value that we have missed? Surely it is worth while to go back and take notice of the monuments to Grant, the Soldiers and Sailors and the interesting features of the Jersey side of the river. Let us turn our attention to the other places of interest as we pass them. Y On the west bank of the river the lights of Palisades Park make their appearance. In my opinion this park is one of the greatest amuse- ment places of its kind in the world. Situated on the cliff about five hundred feet above the river it seems queer that it should contain a swimming pool, besides the other amusements it affords. After we pass the park Nature holds sway. Occasionally a group of tents and boating houses may be se-en in a sequestured nook along the shore. On the right bank, going up the river, are the famous Washington Heights, surely worthy of notice because it was here that he crossed the river and earned his title of Fox of the Army by outwitting Corn- wallis. Here it was, also, that General Benedict Arnold made his escape from the Americans after his plans for treachery had been disclosed. Aboutia mile further on we saw the most up-to-date prison in the world, Sing-Sing, which, from outside appearances, might impress one as being a hospital or a college. In spite of its appearance it shows its true purpose in the many quarries which surround it. If Sing-Sing could talk it could tell tales of many crimes and sorrow. Who is not interested in Rip Van Winkle, that delightful story by Washington Irving, and the many other legends and novels which he wrote under the name of Father Knickerbocker? As we enter this broad stretch of water called the Zuyder Zee, which is four and a half miles long and about two and a half miles wide, the boat slackens speed and approaches Tarrytown on the east side of the Zee. The town can be clearly seen from the boat. It still has a sleepy aspect such as that which held sway in Irving's time. The quaint little Dutch houses with their peaked roofs, mingled with the small low bungalows of the more recent builders, have a pleasing appearance compared to the rugged, jagged, powerful skyline of New York City. What natural beauty sur- rounds this little town. The mountains slope up in 'back of it, and seem to shelter it from the rage of the eastern elements as a hen covers her brood. The broad Zee, glassy under the summer sun, dotted here and there by motor launches, sail boats, and a large red ferry-boat which blows her whistle in welcome, presents the appearance of a placid lake in the Adirondacks. But what impressed me most was the west side of the riverg a per- fect contrast to the east side. It being l-ow and fiat, the east side having an abrupt slope from the water's edge. Here, on this low plain one finds 17 THE KNIGHT wonderful conveniences for swimming, fishing and other outdoor sports. I have spent a few Sundays there and I must admit, though it has no carousels and suchthings, it is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. Here also one is impressed with the difference in types of people and industry, the absence of the small well kept farms of the Dutch descend- ants, and the presence of lumberyards, brickyards, and coal stations to be found wherever the Germans, French, Italians and Irish settle down. Shortly after leaving the Zee, we enter the narrower waters of the upper Hudson. Here we come to the end of our trip, Bear Mountain Park. It also has a revolutionary monument in the form of a large shot tower which is open to visitors. All in all, don't you think the Hudson a wonderful river? I do. GEORGE H. BARSTAR ENTERIN G HIGH SCHOOL At the beginning of a new term at High School there is always a great deal of excitement about the time one is to report and where, especially among the freshmen. I have heard many tales from the girls about going into the wrong class room and not being able to remember just at which end of the hall a certain room is, and having the worst kind of a time trying to find it. You simply can't go to an upper classman to find out how to reach room thirty-four because they are likely to tell you to take the elevator at that end of the hall, and it will take you right to room thirty-four. To-day I lost my sense of direction three times, but never to the extent that I was late for class. I was coming along fine with the exception of getting lost, until I went down to buy my lunch and found a line waiting all the way out in the hall. I was ravenously hungry, but there was only one thing to do and that was to wait. When my turn finally came I found out that all they had left was rice and milk, with rice pudding for dessert. Oh! if there is anything I detest it is rice in any shape or form, so I put down my tray and walked out without any lunch. - Upon arriving at my classroom I found a very stern looking teacher and he said, Do you belong in the fifth period algebra class? Yes, sir. Didn't you know class was called at twelve fifteen? Yes, sir. Why are you fifteen minutes late? I was detained in the lunch room. All right, take your seat and never let that happen again. Oh! I shook so all the time he was talking because I could just see myself going down to the office and being detained the first day of 1 18 THE KNIGHT school, which I had been told was the penalty for being late to class rooms. However, my first day was a very satisfactory one, and I feel sure that my- four years in High School will be very enjoyable ones. MINA BARBER, '26 THE BREAD LINE By G. SANVILLE The daily bread line in the slums Was ne'er so fierce and strong, As they that hunger to be fed, And join the lunch room throng. They laugh and talk, and yet within. They seethe and m-oan and sigh. Small wonder! While they stand and starve, The teachers sweep right by. They're right within the sight and sound Of eats. and drink galore. And yet they know that those ahead Will all be fed before. They read the menu on the board Debate on taste and kind, Before they reach the dear old rail They've fully changed their mind. i Some of them think they're very bright They think it's downright fine! To anchor in a. teacher's wake And sail right down the line. At this the Tired Mob gets alarmed And then a trifle sore, They raise their voices to a shout, And then into a. roar. And wouldn't you be angry too, If while you wait to eat, Some one who is more fortunate Comes in and takes your seat. 19 THE KNIGHT L Ss 1 K.Tw'z1 U A-J-VV q The Class of '23 hereby extends its heartfelt sympathy to Leslie Carson in the loss he has sustained in the death of his mother. , SENIOR CLASS , Seniors! 116 of us! and one of us to be Senior Class President! What a complicated problem. Fr-om the first day of school until election we were impressed with the importance of electing the right person in our class for president, one who was capable of guiding us through our last year. Because of this the class became involved in a number of discus- sions, arguments, and controversies, the subject of which was the choice of a class president. Hanson Tully, Carl Latcham, William Hendricks and Elwood Kern were the four who were considered candidates for this office. Hanson Tully, who had been our class president in our Sopho- more and Junior years was elected, despite energetic and persuasive elec- tioneering on the part of the Latchamites. We held our first regular class meeting on Thursday, September 29, and after a few remarks concerning -our responsibility as Seniors by Miss Venable, our class advisor, we began the business of electing our other class officers. George McKeag was elected vice-president, Irving Lilly, secretary, and Russel Taylor, treasurer. Our Hrst class'dance fthis yearl was held on Friday, October 6. I doubt if any more need be said about this as ourlclass is noted for its social activities. As our president has reminded us, we don't want to walk to Wash- ington and we don't want to ride in freight cars but we do want to go in style as benefitting dignified Seniors. This requires money and plenty of it. Have you paid your class dues? If you haven't done it, do it now. It isn't what one does which helps: it is what we all dog so let's PLAY UP and PLAY THE GAME. V y DOROTHY MEREDITH LEWIS DAVIS Correspondents 20 THE KNIGHT JUNIOR CLASS The class wishes to extend its sympathy to Miss Hatmaker, who has been absent from school for several weeks due to serious illness. The commercial section sent flowers to Miss Hatmaker which were very much appreciated. Last year's sophomores fminus a fewl came back this year as proud Juniors. The football season opened with its usual zeal and many of the Juniors tried for the team. Those who made the 'Varsity are: Robert Wilkins, Captain: Harryx Nichols, Thomas Cornbrooks and James Knecht. The hockey season has also opened and many Junior girls are out for the team. We hope they make a good showing. The class held nominations and elections of president in its re- spective assembly rooms, Thomas Cornbrooks received the majority of votes. We hope he will have the co-operation of the entire class throughout the year. THE POOR '24'S This is a sad, sad tale of woe. He has an exceedingly cold heart who will not shed a tear over the dreadful fate of the '24's. How well they started out as Freshmen, full of pep and vigor. Who would have th-ought they were to come to such a disastrous end within two years. But the saddest part is that the class is offered no pity and has no one to look after and watch over it. There is no one to help it out of the mournful state into which it has fallen. 4 Won't someone, please, have compassion for its remnants and make it the same class that it started out to be? . Where is the class spirit? Reward if found, return to the office. The first football game must have had a good influence on the school. The 111 History Class was hard at work when suddenly a gay melody was heard in the hall. Everyone was surprised when they found out that J. B. R. was the singer. Don't forget that the class spirit must be revived if we expect to get our class rings or go to Washington. Won't everyone please help? And when we set a time for class meetings, come and bring your pep and vigor with you. HELEN WILLIAMS - DOROTHY CAMERON Correspondents 21 T H E K N I G H T FEBRUARY CLASS, '24 The February Class of '24 held its first business meeting on Tuesday morning, September 12, 1922, electing two correspondents for The Knight and the following officers for the coming term: President, Edward Strahang vice-president, Marion Purbeckg secretary, Lillian Richf ter, treasurer, William McMakin. At the end of the last sch-ool term the class held a Bazaar to raise money for our Washington trip. That the class worked hard, is shown by the proceeds amounting to ninety-three dollars. We may be small, but the class has set an example for the others. The hockey season having begun, several girls of the February Class have reported for practice. Among the candidates are the following: Dorothy Claypool, Katharine Lapp, Grace Boner, Marion Purbeck and Dorothy Lee. As to football the class has not been well represented, until last week, Watson Heffner, equipped in togs, reported for practice on the gridiron. That he will make good is hoped for by everyone. Mr. W. fin physics classj: What is conjugate foci? Student: I can't conjugate it. Mr. W. fin physics classl: What is a lense? Student: I don't know. Mr. W.: Do you know that Rex Beach isn't a summer resort? DOROTHY LEE, '24 DOUGLAS ROE, '24 I FEBRUARY CLASS, '25 Class parties are the fondest thing we are of, aside from studying. Our first wonderful party was the 1nk's-Well! We were going to dance until Three O'clock in the Morning, but the music st-opped promptly at 12 p. m., and so did we. Our first meeting this year was held September, 1922. At the sug- gestion of a member of the faculty we decided to have a Jazz Bow Social. CJ azz bow or jazz beau'?J One week later every member of the class had a different reason why we should not have a J. B. Social, so the committee decided to abandon this clever plan. We are now, so the committee says, going to have a Masked Dance, instead. Oh, Goody! We used to have two correspondents, but, alas! one has resigned. Not so good. At the next meeting the president will appoint another and we shall also make final arrangements for our first dance. Are we in it? Well, I guess! This class is exceptionally well repre- sented in Athletics, Music and Art this year. Yours until Niagara Falls, A. M. B., Feb. '25. 22 T H E K N I G H T A SOPHOMORE CLASS Most everyone in our class returned to Collingswood High School this year. We are very glad to say we are Sophomores. Of course, we all for most of usb enjoyed being Freshmen-but still-being an upper classman has its charms as well. Instead of being scared little rookies, not knowing what to do or where to go we are very wise. We know room 39 from 29 and when the periods are up and where the lunch room is. Oh, yes-we were rookies last year. There is one very nice thing the Sophomores have to look forward to. What is it? Why, a class meeting! Though it may sound bad, sad but true the Sophs have not yet had a class meeting. p LAURA MILLER, '25 ' FRESHMAN CLASS The Class of 1926 is one of the largest classes that has ever entered the High School having a membership of two hundred and fifty, includ- ing the February Class. At the present writing we have not organized: but hope we will be able to have a class meeting soon and elect oiuv officers. We have expressed our enthusiasm in High School toward sports by having some of our boys try for the football team and some of our girls try for the hockey team. We congratulate them on their spirit and hope they will make the teams. The Freshmen girls wish to extend to the Girls' Athletic Association their thanks and appreciation for the reception given to them. We hope that our girls will be interested enough in sports to have one hundred per cent membership in the Athletic Association. . I ALTHEA CHARLES, '26 l On the following pages are the inspiring countenances of thoseto whom this number is dedicated. They may be small in size but this is certainly overbalanced by their great numbers., Let us hope they'll take advantage of their numbers and help make old C. H.

ELEANOR SHANE, Feb., '24 26 THE KNIGHT BOYS' GLEE CLUB Well, we're off. Boys, come out and meet your new leader. Mr. Holteen has consented to lead the boys this year and he wants your support. We want at least thirty members this year, so it's up to you to make it that. We are especially in need of tenors, both first and second. A few more second and first basses would not be out of place either, as there are only about fifteen in the club now. G. H. BARSTAR, '23 Correspondent THE MUSICAL CLUBS The season of 1922-23 opens with much promise for the Musical Clubs. The orchestra has lost some of its best material, but not all, and with several of last season's strong violinists and more strong players entering, we believe we shall do good work. Our greatest loss is our drummer, Severn Tyler, who graduated last June, and our clarinetist, Walter Huff, who took his talent and his instrument to Ocean City High School. We congratulate Ocean City. The Girls' Glee Club is stronger than it has been for several seasons. Sixteen members remain from last year, and 23 candidates have been accepted this year, thus increasing our number to 39 members. The following new members have joined our ranks: First Sopranos Mina Barber, '26 Dorothy Spealler, '23 Dorothy Meredith, '23 Dorothy Senseman, '25 Ethel Helm, '25 Ruth Percival, '24 Edith Percival, '24 Katharine Evaul, '24 Helen O'Neal, '25 Eloine Clark, '23 Altos Alice Vogel, '23 Second Sopranos Eleanor McCar.dell, '26' Dorothy Claypool, '24 Edith Fuchs, '23 Frances Staats, '25 Gwendolyn Cheeseman, Jean Veatch, '25 Anna Kraus, '23 Ruth Otter, '23 Ethel Laveson, '23 Helen Williams, '24 Piano Marion Post, '23 '24 .. Puria Krout, '25 A The Musical activities along all lines promise to be more flourishing this year. New song books have been purchased for the assembly exer- cises, and interesting programs are being planned. The Combined Glee Clubs presented Columbus, a mixed chorus, for Columbus Day, and are preparing Landing of the Pilgrims for the Thanksgiving programs. Other special features will appear from time to time. MISS McKINLEY, Director .27 Lliltllftigl? l I mf' W dui. 'I A g a ? Q 4' ll . , BOYS' ATHLETICS Collingswood High School is honored again. Three State champion- ships have been awarded to C. H. S. athletes. Russell Taylor, '23, re-- ceived the State championship in broad-jumping and pole vaulting, while Lynn Jones, '22, received the State championship in the javelin throw. These fellows deserve credit for bringing these high honors to C. H. S. The A. Ajofficers wh-o have been elected this year are: President, Harry Nichols: vice-president, Russell Taylor, secretary, Hanson Tully: treasurer, George McKeag. All of these officers have pep, so fellows, get back of them and make things go. The A. A. cards are not being bought by a majority of the students. These cards are not put out just to get money, but also to help you save money. Buy the A. A. cards. Football This year starts Mr. Irvine's fourth year as athletic coach of the boys' athletic teams. His success can be seen by the wonderful record made by our teams. Between 50 and 60 candidates turned out for football practice the first day. While some of these have dropped out, we still have a good showing. There are always more than enough fellows to make two teams. - The football team is fortunate this year in having 7 'Varsity men back. They are: Capt. Wilkins, Cornbrooks, H. Nichols, Zanger, V. Nichols, Bryant and Graham. Besides these we have Hendricks who played one full game with the Varsity last year. Teegen will also help us in our games this year. Teegan came from Mt. Vernon High School, New York. He puts the fighting spirit into the game from start to finish. Norris, Kneckt, and Brown look good at the tackle posi- tion. We also have a good string of subs. , I .28 . THE KNIGHT Gloucester vs. C. H. S. In a practice game, on September 22, with Gloucester, C. H. S. showed its superiority by downing Gloucester to the tune of 66-O. As -every one of our players played well it is hard to say who starred. Be- fore the first quarter was finished Mr. Irvine sent in the second string men. The third and fourth teams also had a chance. ' Moorestown H. S. vs. C. H. S. On September 29 Moorestfown visited Collingswood. Captain Wil- kins won the toss and Collingswood received the ball. After pushing the ball up to the 40 yard line, H. Nichols received the ball and made a pretty drop kick which cleared the bar. Neither team scored from that time until the last p-eriod. In the fourth period in the last few minutes of play, Jolly, Wilkins and Nichols pushed the ball over the line. Nichols failed to kick the ball and the game was over. Tieghan starred with his end runs, putting his utmost into every play. The game was marked by a great number of penalties, of which C. H. S. received goodly number. But at the finish Collingswood was on top. The score was 9-0. - Collingswood was unfortunate in not being able to play Camden this year because of a cancellation by Camden. This game was being looked forward to by every student. The 1922 Football schedule as compiled by the management is as follows: -September 29-Moorestown, home. October 6-Camden, home Ccancelledl. October 13-Millville, away. October 21-Atlantic City, home. October 27-Haddonfield, away. November 3-Bridgeton, home. November 10-Germantown, away. November 17-Woodbury, away. November 24-Haddon Heights, home. November 30-Alumni, home. Mr. Pate of our faculty attended the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association in Newark on Friday evening, October 6. This meeting was held to settle difficulties of' the school athletics of New Jersey. 29 THE KNIGHT GiRLs' ATHLETICS .Whoopi The girls are off for a successful season in athletics. The first thing they did to attract attention was to have an A. A. meeting. Pep was not lacking on the morning of the 18th of September. Every- one took notice feven the Freshmenl at the excellent speech Miss Barnes made on Good Sportsmanship. The big event of the meeting was the election of officers. Grace Archer was given the office of presidentg Ruth Bryson, vice-presidentg Mildred Blair, secretary, and Marion Pur- beck, treasurer. Here's hoping they will make a big success of the A. A. this year. The selling of the A. A. tickets started immediately and due to the enthusiasm of the girls it was a big Success this year. The Freshmen, even though they are unaccustomed to these proceedings, brought their money promptly, setting a good example for everyone. Now, girls, you have started this year well, let's keep it up with successful athletics. The hockey season has begun and let's make it a big, successful one. Anyone who is interested come out and get practice. Every girl can't be on the Varsity but the more one plays the better chance there is of getting on class teams, and next year, perhaps the big team. We are going to have the best team this year of any, thanks to Miss Barnes, and the way to keep it that way is to have excellent support on the part of the student body. Everyone should come out and cheer, sing and lead their team to victory. Now that we are starting in on our athletics We must remember Miss Barnes' speech- Good Sportsmanship. Girls, it is the very keynote to our success in everything we undertake. If we have that quality we will come out of our athletics with banners flying. Per- haps we can't always win but if we can't, be a sport about it and cheer your teams anyway. Losing, however, does not lower our standard. Our standard of honor can remain. forever by clean sports and a good spirit. Make our motto, Each Year Better Than the Last, come true! HOCKEY SCHEDULE October 5'-Palmyra, home.

The lunchroom never witnessed such a crowd. There were about two hundred and seventy-five girls there. The fun began about 3.15 o'clock when the entertainment started. Grace Archer opened the program by a speech, welcoming the Fresh- men. Her oration was received loudly by all. Everyone was surprised when they heard the Girls' Jazz Orchestra, consisting of mouth organs, whistles and similar instruments. The harmony made by these various pieces was unsurpassable, We were next given an exhibition of our vocal talent by having rendered The Pig Song, which consisted of snorts. Muriel Mitchell gave us two very humorous recitations which everyone enjoyed. Marion Purbeck took the part of a snake charmer, but the snake grew unmanageable which caused the tragic death of the dancer. Helen O'Neal gave us a beautiful accordion selection played on Misss Anderson's clothesrack. It was called the Piece without Notes, very beautiful? Mildred Blair told us of the fly which went to heaven in portions and Miss O'Neal continued with a story of another fly. Dorothy Spealler rendered a pathetic ballad about a Chinaman sitting on a chest of tea. Several of the girls made the Organ Peal Bananas, -which caused everyone to weep. Helen Scudder read us a poem which was very amusing as everything was said backwards. Edith Robbins also recited Jacob's Lament. The most important thing on the pro- gram was the EATS. Miss Hillman and Miss C. Weaver seemed to act queer afterward but-perhaps it was natural. After cheers and songs the party finally came to an end withmuch regret on the part of everyone. The officers of the Girls' A. A. wish to thank all those girls wha participated in the entertainment and also those who prepared for thu. reception. They also wish to thank Miss Anderson for her help. Miss Weaver and Miss Hillman, we enjoyed your company and wish to say you are both good sports. The girls of Collingswood High wish to welcome Miss Barnes, oui new physical training instructor. We feel sure she will promote the Girls' Athletics to a high standard and complete the year with success.

Enmrn Erurrr It is our sad duty to turn from the pleasures, turmoil and strife of life to behold the work of the grim reaper, Death, and to record here the memory of him who was especially endeared to the Collingswood High Scho-ol in that he was one of its students, teachers and alumni. Rev. W. Bowen Bruere, of the class of 1910, has passed over those blue hills which Vergil says leads to the Immortals. A few months ago he was in the vigor of health and enthusiasm. Then he was stricken with one of the numerous ills which flesh is heir to and in three days he had 'passed on. Such is the weakness of human life. Health, energy, power, yesterday: death to-day. His great spirit has re- turned to the God who gave it and who Bowen had served so well. Rev. W. Bowen Bruere was born in Bombay, India, August 15, 1892. His father was a missionary there. His mother, with Bowen and his sis- ters, returned to this country in order that the children might receive an education. He attended Haddon Heights High School and in his senior year came to Collingswood High School, graduating in its first class, 1910. He matriculated at Mount Union College and graduated in 1914. He taught in Collingswood High School in the year 1914-1915, during which time he will be remembered, among other things, for his fine work as football coach. In 1915 he entered Princeton Theological Seminary and graduated in 1918, preaching in meantime at the Parkside Church and at Old Bridge, N. J. From Old Bridge he was sent to India as a missionary representing the Board of Foreign Missions of the I 33 THE KNIGHT Methodist Episcopal Church. He arrived in India December, 1918. There he preached with phenomenal success for three years at the Wm. Taylor Mem-orial Church at Bombay and then at Pantumba. While in India he was joined by his fiance, Miss Bessie Noble, who there became his wife. Prior to her marriage she had been engaged in social work in the factories of Millville. Her wonderful character and keen interest and sympathy in and knowledge of his work made her a valuable and loving helpmate. Bowen was studying Marathi, the language of the natives of his congregation, and in order to obtain better instruction had ex- changed pulpits with his father at Poana. Here he preached on Sunday, July 16th, and after the service went to the Taylor High School for the usual Sunday night singing. At midnight, apparently as well as usual, he took the train for Bombay to attend the finance c-ommittee meeting. On Monday he was stricken with a terrible pain, and on Tuesday was taken to the European General Hospital, fever came on and at 7.30 p. ni. they xoperated. He died Thursday, July 20, 1922, at 9.40 p. m., aged twenty- nine years, eleven months and five days. He was a man of finest qualities and sterling worth. Energy, in- dustry, judgment, courage, integrity, sincerity, and deep religious con- viction were his. As a student he applied himself diligently and had the highest average of his class at High School, but, because of the fact that he had attended here only one year was not eligible to be valedic- torian. He was very quiet, modest and unassuming, was intensely ab- sorbed with his work and highly regarded for,his ability and success. Thrusting aside all thoughts of personal material gain, which, with the ability that was his, would have been boundless, he chose as his life's work the helping of his fellow creatures and journeyed to that distant land, among strange people, in order that he could assist mankind and better his fellows. His life was stainless, and his whole career contained nothing, which dying, he could wish to blot. He stands out as one of Collingswood High School's greatest sons. I As quietly and unheralded he plodded through life, so, in the fresh- ness of his youth, with apparently years of usefulness before him, in battle with his armor on, he was cut down. No gilded pomp or ostenta- tious show blighted the simplicity of the last scene, but the.multitudes gathered from far and wide, drawn by the love they held for him who was to be laid to his earthly rest in that distant land. It is not for us to determine in which direction our ways shall be cast, nor can we elect that our future shall consist entirely of peaceful happiness and enjoyment. But whatever betides us, let us bravely bear our responsibilities and burdens as he did, and submit, like him, without murmuring, to the duties which may be pressedupon us. Then may the future bring to us, as it did to him, the acclaim, Well done, good and faithful servant. -34 THE KNIGHT He was survived by his wife, a child, his parent and sisters. To them, the members of the Collingswood High School Alumni Association extend their heartfelt sympathy.. Any words of ours are too small and inadequate and we can only hope that the memory of his great heart and the unselfish task in which he was engaged and for which he gave his life will ease the sorrow of their bereavement.
