She is a typing genius, who goes so fast that the words are left behind. It is rumored that a certain youth is fatally upset over “Barney’s” graduating. Margaret is very fair-min- ded and finds the good in everyone. “Hee-Haw” LORRAINE BELL Eane Lorraine is a shining star in athletics. Whenever she wishes to get a thing done, it gets done, but if she doesn’t want to do it, alas! Lorraine combines brains, brawn and beauty. We predict a prosperous fu- ture. “Snakes” “Frogs” “Want a rap on the teeth” “Say where do you want to land” ABBIE CARTER Abs Abbie is one of the musicians of the class. Whenever anyone is needed to play in Assembly, Abbie is always will- ing.. She is very popular with the boys, but seems to think that “variety is the spice of life.” “Um-huh” “Oh gee” ELLA DUNCAN Joe, Ed Ella seems to be stepping out this year. If you want a secret kept, tell Ella. She will he silent as a sphinx. We under- stand that Ella has been practicing track on her Sunday night walks. Tee-har” GRACE JONES Jonsey, Snooky, Babe Grace hasn't much preference in cars; Hudsons, Clevelands, and Chandlers arc all the same to her. She believes both in interior and exterior decoration, espe- cially of the halls. She is making a great effort to he “somebody’s stenog.” “Oh! I’d die!” ELLA JOHNSON Johnny. Ella is one of the inseparable twins. Wherever you see “Johnny” you are sure to see “Slingy.” Ella expects to enter the business world and we feel that she will be very successful, as we have profited for four years by her ability. That’s jaunty” CATHERINE KIRKPATRICK Cats Ursinus, Ursinus, Ursinus. That is Catherine’s password. Catherine says that she is a man-hater, but we know diff- erent. She has ambitions to become a famous singer, even excelling Dave Ty- son. “Oh! Kid” ELILZABETH LEEDOM Bill Elizabeth is very studious. She is never absent from school, only four days a week and when she is here no one knows it. Elizabeth’s apron, which she wears in “lab” will never wear out, be- cause she never does anything. After all, Elizabeth is a good scout and she is wil- ing to help anyone out of trouble. Eliz- abeth has great hopes of being a nurse, but we are afraid she will pay more at- tention to the doctors than to her pati- ents. She is from Plymouth and she sure- ly does want everyone to know it, be- cause she is always saying, “Oh heckl” ISABELLE MacRAE Izzy Isabelle believes that practice makes perfect when it comes to the flirtation art. She is the society bud of the class, spend- ing her summers in Newport. We believe that her birthday must come in the balmy spring as she is forever dreaming. “Oh! Yes. I see.” “Yes” MARGARET MOORE Migg, Milk, Moorey. Her chief pastime is decorating the hall in company with a certain gentleman. BLUB AND GOLD 5 Margaret is very conversational especi- ally in typing and stenography. She ap- pears demure to one not knowing her but you can’t always tell by appearance. “Try’n do it” HELEN MOSER Mose CATHERINE RIEGER Cats Catherine is one of the comfortable type whom it is nice to know. Sometimes however, Catherine doesn't leave a com- fortable margin of time and arrives at school, breathless and often late. Cather- ine is very kind and helpful to her friends. “Silence” Helen is quite a singer and is prom- inent in all exercises in the assembly. In classes she is quite and demure, but has a great longing for boys and notes from men. She can’t keep a secret and she al- ways like to tell everyone what happens everywhere. She has a laugh which re- sembles all the crownings of birds and cats. Helen expects to go to normal school and he a schoo “marm” some day. MARIAN ROBINSON Mary Ann Marian is very quiet and industrious. Her only aim in life is to become a good stenographer, regardless of anything else. Of course, Marian never uses slang, but she must have forgotten her wings one day, for we heard her say “Hot Dogs.” “Hot dogs!” Oh Yes!” I'll ask Miss Schreitz.” REGINA PAGNACCO Jina Regina’s activities are small in con- nection with school matters. She is very quiet in school, but we feel that she is more or less a “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” character whose real self shows outside of school. “Silence” RUTH PHILLIPS Phillips Ruth has formed a very “steady Church going habit. She believes that the best Way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so she excells in the culinary arts. Why oh why, Ruth are you making so many dresses? “Oh Gosh” VIRGINIA RAMSEY Gina Virginia believes in variety. She comes to school one day as a coy schoolgirl and the next day as a sophisticated Senior. The male sex has an ardent admiration for Virginia and she is never at a loss for dates. Virginia is very capable and never loses her head. “You did?” FRANCES ROWAN France Frances has guided our student activi- ties this year with great ability. She is one of the most capable girls of our class. Frances not only has executive ability, but she is also an athlete and has played on the girl’s varsity team. “Co-operation” ELVIRA SHUPERT Dolly Sailor Elvira is a very studious girl, especially when is comes to Latin. She very fond of dancing, and is pretty good at telling jokes. Elvira is the chatterbox of the class. She expects to go to college and become a school teacher. “Oh gosh!” ELLA SL1NGLUFF Slingy Ella is better known as one of the Siamese Twins. Ella has a very loving disposition, she is very kind to everyone. Ambition is her middle name, and she also has plenty of diligence and execu- tive ability. Sometime, in the near future, Ella will he a very successful business woman in the industrial world. Ella almost always makes a big explosion in Chemistry by saying, “Oh! Baloney with BLl'E AND GOLD fi those experiments, they make me dizzy.” That’s not the truth.” MAY STARKE Mary Louise Starky May has a habit of teasing, hut she can take a joke, too. Her ambition is to have a kitchen with a white range be- cause she loves to cook. Chicken is her speciality. Her vocation is between a housewife and a stenographer. We think it will be the former. ’’Oh! Bud” DOROTHY WALTER Dot Dorothy is a student of our class who always has her work done. She is sure to make it up when she is absent. Dorothy is just as much a puzzle as the Mona Lisa. You can never tell what she is thinking. Is that all?” ALICE WILLIAMS A1 Alice is the most talkative member of our class. She has done much for the school, one could always depend on her helping hand. Alice is also a musician. She plays the violin and piano. We hear that she is taking vocal lessons now. Alice is an incessant giggler. “Ha!” “Oh! I don’t think so.” JOSEPH BATES Joedy, Bates Joe is one of our best boys in the class. He does everything the way he thinks it should be done. Joe likes best to go on an errand and that is where you find him most of the time when he’s not in class. Joe is a great football player and plans to tour Europe on an exhibition tour when he gets through school. “C’mon now before you get knocked of?.” WILLIAM BENNETT Bill, Tonnage William is the largest boy in the class and we hear he is very cranky. But some one is taking that out of him. Bill is a great fireman and when he does not have a girl out riding or is not doing some chemistry work for an A, he’s up at the fire house acting wise. He expects to be president of that place some day. Be wise, Bill. “How do you know? HERBERT BOWMAN Herb, Chesterfield. Iky Herbert is one who enjoys his books. He is most always studying English and History. When not doing this he is look- ing for a smoke. It is known that a big league ball game has been stopped so Herb could have his usual smoke. Herb is quite collegiate and many a girl has lost her heart for him. He is going to study architecture. “Got any dopes? SAMUEL BRETT Brett, Joshua. Bookkeeping Britt Samuel is one of the quiet boys in our class. He is very bashful. But be careful girls! His favorite pastime is doing shorthand. When he is not doing this he is out riding around in the Ford looking the girls over. Sam also excels in foot- ball and track. On completing school Sam plans to run an apiary. “Aw, no. PHILIP CARDAMONE Cards. Phil. Nick Philip is one of the smallest boys in our class but not the least. He has a big heart.- You can ask any girl about that. When Philip doesn’t have the girls out for a ride he is telling Kingy jokes. Philip plans to open a bakery in Atlantic City afer he gets through school. “Allright, Kerrigan.” ALAN CARTER Chicky, Casey’s Cadet Alan is one of the big boys in our class. He is quite popular among the girls and. Oh My! that hair has broken many a girl’s heart. But Alan doesn’t seem to get the drift. Alan claims he spends most of his time doing short hand. When not in- BU B ANI� bulging in this National pasltinie, he's helping Case, and is learning the movie business. He says, “Someday he is going to open a Theatre in Frog Hollow. What did you say?” FRANK DENNIS Tarzen, Jungles, Ape Frank is one in our class who is a good student. He can tell you anything you want to know about the jungles. His ability as a football player will never be forgotten. Tarzen is going to he an electrical engineer. “Give ’em the jungles. WILLIAM EWING Bill, Willie William is the musician of the class and is also a great singer and a great heart breaker. His cunning ways make all the girls fall for him. William has great ability as a leader and plans in the near future to take his newly organized or- chestra on a tour around the world. We wish you a safe journey. Do you wanta get hurt?” CARL FAUST Fausty Carl is one of the up to date modest hoys in our class. He never has a hair misplaced and always dresses right up to the minute. Carl is a good student and always enjoys playing the “sax” more than anything else and he deserves much credit as a musician. He also enjoys going to Jeffersonville and spends quite a hit of time in that city. “Yea, catch me.” HERMAN FINKELSTEIN Fink, Herni Herman is one of the little boys in the class, small of stature, hut oh my, he cer- tainly has a big place in Miss Buckle’s heart. When Herman isn't talking with Miss Buckle he is looking for something cheap, or someone to bet with on the hall games. His ambition is to manage a big league ball team. “How much.” FRANKLIN GOSHAW Hank Franklin is one of the very quiet boys in the class. In fact, you don't know he is around until he is called on to recite and he is always prepared. Hank is a baker of great renown and enjoys baking doughnuts. When not engaged at this, he is usually building a radio for some one or trying to tune in China. Franklin is preparing to engage in the manufacture of radios in the near future. Yea.” CLYDE HILL Clyde, Hilly Clyde is one of the very' industrious hoys of our class. He is very quiet ex- cept when in History where he can usual- ly be heard above every one else. His chief amusement is playing the saxaphone and this is what he does when he doesn't have a date to fill. Clyde's ambition is to be a minister. However, he has enrolled at LI. of I’, to study to be an Engineer. “Ungh” ROY HOLDEN Town Towy is our tall blonde athlete. He has a manner which we all admire, and a way with him which makes us do things in spite of ourselves. The good of the class is always the chief motive of Towy's school life. Without a mirror and comb Towy would be as much at loss as a sub- marine in the Sahara Desert. “Aw.” “Cut it out.” WILLIAM JONES Bill, Jonesy William is one of the best students in the class. He is also one of the quietest and most bashful. You can’t tell Bill is around until you hear him start to recite his lesson. He is never unprepared. His favorite pastime is telling Nelson Stuh- muller what “Student Council” stands for. Bill is going to take up Electrical En- gineering. What?” 8 BLl'E AND GOLD CHARLES KINDREGAN Kingy, Butch, Kerrigan, Shiek Charles is the comedian of the class. His humor keeps the teachers at their wits' end all the time. They can’t get mad at him. He’s so good looking and he goes them one better every time. He also claims that he has the speed record on the typewriter saying, he is too fast for any ordinary typewriter. Charles is a great athlete on the gridiron and on the track surpassed by only Nurmi himself. He is going to Illinois University. “C’mon Bates, cut it out.” HAROLD KOCH Jumpers, Kochy Harold is of miniature size, but what he lacks in size he makes up in his work. He is one whom our class is proud of, His favorite pastime is taking his ex- press wagon for a ride down Main Street. He is a good leader and has great am- bitions. However his greatest ambition is to be a preacher and he intends to en- roll at some large college to pursue this course. “How?” STEWART MacKENZIE Stew, Cat Killer, Pip Stewart is one of those flashy boys. He's always flashing a gun or a mouse to scare Grace. When not enjoying this re- creation or sleeping, Stewart can usually be found out gunning for cats. He is the cat killer of Canada. Stew cannot be con- tent with just gunning for cats so he plans to join the army after he is through school. Be careful Stew, and don’t go too far away from home. You may get lost. “Do you dare me?” RICHARD MOSTELLER Dick Richard is quite the flirt, you can see him most anytime talking with one of the opposite sex. You can always depend on Dick’s judgment. He claims he never makes a mistake. You can usually find Dick reading a wild West Story. He wants to run a ranch of his own in the future. “That’s not right.” PAUL ROBERTS Porky Paul is the mechanic of the class. He’s always tinkering about a car or looking for an old Ford. Porky is also a good student and stands high in the class. He is always ready for a good time and al- ways wants to know. “Shall I bring the Ford?” He has decided to be a Doctor, and will enroll in a medical school. “That's Bolona.” NELSON STUHLMULLER Nutts, Graft, Limburger, Nellie Nelson is said to be the windiest fel- low in the class and he is also an excellent prevaricator. When he is not engaged in this pastime he is thinking of a scheme to get out of Trig. Nelson likes to kill time in history, always arguing on the crookedness of politics claiming it is all graft. He is planning to be a lawyer. More Graft.” EMERSON WEBSTER Emy, Milky. Waldo Emerson cuts quite a caper with the girls' hearts. “He is just wonderful,” we have heard one girl exclaim. Emy is a good student and when he is not serving milk or collecting clothes he is studying to be a minister. He also thinks he would like to be a Physical Director. Whatever your choice, Milky, we wish you luck. Who told you?” WHO’S WHO Most brilliant - - - Alice Williams Most dignified ...

And first we direct that our funeral ser- vices shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried out with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our at- tainments, and our position as Seniors of grave and reverend mien” must cer- tainly have deserved. We give and bequeath to the Faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various exam, papers. We give and bequeath the Blue and Gold all the events of our lives, past, present, and to come, with all wonders, sensations, hair-breadth escapes, glorious attainments, and other deserved or unde- served notoriety and fame with which we may have been, or may hereafter be as- Laziest - Marian Robinson Bggest eater ...

The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be ac- cepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive then and continual re- minders of the generosity of heart dis- played in our free and full bestowal. To Dorothy Davies we bequeath Mar- garet Barnshaw's “West Conshie Cackle” and picturesque vocabulary. Dorothy surely will astound the Teachers now. William Bennett’s corpulent figure we assign to John Blackburn, and hope John will be as proud of it as Bill is. May Starke’s sweet disposition we leave to Smiles” Galbreath. “Phil” Cardamone’s high stature and mischievous ways we give to Glenn Davis but warn Glenn not to use same too fre- quently. To Ray Wilmer we will Marion Robin- son’s favorite hang-out—Room 11. We hope Ray will be as fortunate as Marian was. To Beatrice Gormley we will Ella Sling- luff’s willowy form. 10 I1LVK ANU GOLD William Ewing's dignified manner and expressive reading, especially in the audi- torium, we assign to William Giles. Abbie Carter’s musical ability we be- queath to Oglena Kriebel so the same will not be missed when Abbie graduates. Carl Faust’s dainty selection of bow- ties we will to Theodore Weideman. We won't be able to see Ted nearly so well. To Rose Kauffman we leave Duncan’s intense love of Stenography. To John Prizer we bequeath Herman Finkelstein’s talkative nature. Perhaps this gift will keep John awake. Ella Johnson’s “golden locks” we will to “Chuck” Thomas. Ella won’t notice the loss and Chuck can easily stand the addition. To Florence Campbell we bequeath Clyde Hill's perpetual drawl. Flos won’t be able to express herself nearly so well. Kathryn Kirkpatrick's sentimental characteristics we leave to Olive Robin- son. Elvira Shupert’s shy and retiring ways we assign to Kit” Hessley. To Robert Ramsey we bequeath Roy Holden’s blond marcelle wave. Elizabeth Leedom's punctuality we as- sign to Emma Harrison (to Mr. Huns- berger's despair.) William Jones’ oratorical ability and bashful ways to leave to Thomas Celli. These surely ought to make a big change in Thomas. To Vernon Scott we give Isabelle MacRae’s wicked orbs. What a lady- killer he ought to be! Charles Kindregan, who is noted for his witticisms, has graciously consented to leave same to Alan Shcllenberger. Margaret Moore’s lanquishing looks to a member of the Junior Class we will to Clara Myers. Someone must assume Margaret's duties. To Raymond Freas wc give Joseph Bate's customary beard. Raymond will think he is a man now. Regina Pagnacco’s studious nature we leave to Margaret Sampson. To Louis Sponar we bequeath Emerson Webster’s prowess in Athletics. May you have success, Louis. Ruth Philip’s regular attendance we will to Viola Vercoe. Samuel Brett, altho he mourns the loss, has finally consented to leave his unique laugh to Si Adair. Si surely will step out now. To Florence Crawford we will Helen Moser’s devotion to the male sex. It won’t he a difficult art for Florence to cultivate. Herbert Bowman’s beautiful pompadour we give to Ottie Wood. To Nathan Graubard we bequeath Vir- ginia Ramsey’s raven cudles. Gina will no longer have to suffer the torture of curlers. Richard Mostellar’s semi-collegiate trousers we will to Solomon Auerbach. I am sure Solomon will treasure this gift. To Rosella Gravinese we leave Grace Jones’ rosy cheeks. Maybe Rosella may some day become as adept as Grace in blending colors. Frank Dennis' beloved nickname “Tar- zan we assign to George Middleton altho we give George due warning not to be- come too wild. To Helen Jamison we bequeath Frances Rowan’s advoirdupois. Dorothy Walter's high marks we will to Ruth Wood and Anne Griffith. Mr. Hottenstein surely will appreciate this bestowal. To some poor benighted Freshman we leave Nelson StuhlmulleVs interesting talks on school spirit —a word in ex- planation—Nelson does not always prac- tice what he preaches. Alice William’s voluability we assign to Anna Hissuer. To Charles Beuler we leave “Porky” Robert’s Royles Ruff with the hope that his troubles be fewer than Porky's were. Catherine Reiger's fondness for comb- ing her tresses wc will to Josephine Young. To any who are willing to accept this burden we leave Harold Koch’s cease- less line of chatter. It can safely be souldeied by several. Franklin Goshaw's air of timidity we bequeath to Donald Jones. We hope this HUB AND GOLD 11 aritt will change Donald into a serious and mild Senior. Stuart MacKenzie alias Cat Killer has decided to give the remains of his seven- teen victims to John Beyer. John is known to be quite a hunter, altho not Cat.” And as to all the rest and residue of our characteristics and possessions, real, personal or mixed, of whatever nature or kind or wheresoever situated at the time of our decease, vve do hereby give, de- vise and bequeath: To some poor Freshman—Anybody who will accept it, as it is yet unclaimed— William Ewing’s troubles as Class Pres- ident. To the class of '211 our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with ,all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance in spite ot their natural light-mindedness and irre- sponsibility. We also bequeath them our seats in Chapel. To Miss Schreitz. the members of the Commercial Section of the Class of '25 leave their appreciation of her efforts in their behalf. . All of the members of '25 leave their thanks to Miss Anderson. Miss Buckle, Miss Matthews, Miss Gemmill and Mr. Erb who have to bravely put up with them during the dearest four years in High School. To Mr. Hunsberger, who has a mania for seating everyone alphabetically, we leave the initials of the rest of the High School, and regret that we must take ours from hi:n as we fear w� e will need them ourselves. And lastly we do make, constitute and appoint Margaret Sampson to be the Ex- ecutrix of this our last Will and Testa- ment, hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by us at any time hereto- fore made and declaring this to be our last Will and Testament. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals this 18th day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five. Signed, sealed, published and de- clared by the testates within named, as and fur their last Will and Testa- ment, in the presence of us who at their request, in their presence and in the presence of each other, have here- unto subscribed our names as wit- nesses. Goat” Gilinger, Hockers Wood “Goofie” Williams. LORRAINE BELL. SONG—CLASS OF 1915 Jur school days are passing away. Out in the pathways of life we will stray, But we’ll remember our school. And its sweet Golden Rule. ‘Do good as you pass on your way.” From our teachers and classmates we’ll 'part. But down in the depths of each heart. Fond memories will stay, As we go on our way, And out in the world do our part. Chorus. Then here’s to the class twenty-five. For its glory and honor we’ll strive, Tho’ far we may roam. From our friends and our home. Its pleasure we’ll still keep alive. Margaret Barnshaw '25. Fadder to Ikey Moore—“Ikey, take yourself oud a life insurance bolicy for ten thousand dollars, and I’ll buy you a nize new motorcycle. Lecturer—“What have you done to save our timber?” roice from the rear—“I shot a wood- pecker once.” Are you hungary?” Yes Siam. Then Russia to the table and T’ll Fiji. “All right: Sweden my coffee and Den- mark my bill. 12 BU R AND GOLD Class History LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: A small boy, fond of ’’playing con- ductor,” arranged the dining room chairs in line and called on his one passenger, a lady of serious mind, to know at what place she wished to stop. “The station nearest Heaven, my dear,” she answered. “Oh, you’re on ee wrong t'ain, lady, you're on ee wrong t’ain.” The majority of the class is undecided whether it is on the wrong train or not, but most of the teachers believe that there is not much hope unless Harold Koch is able to reform us, either before or after he becomes a minister. When we entered High School in 1921, our first desire was to graduate. Al- though many have left us, we graduate with one of the largest classes in the history of the Conshohocken High School, forty-three in number. Now that we have reached the fulfill- ment of our desire it is pleasant to look back over our four years of high school life. Of these the Junior and Senior years stand formost in the accomplish- ments of our class. Our class is proud of its athletes and what they have done. We have Captain Joe Bate, of the football team, Sam Brett, football and track; Herb. Bow- man, baseball; Towy Holden, football, basketball and field; Herman Finklestein, Bill Jones, basketball; Charles Kindregan, football and track; Nelson Stuhlmuller, football; Emerson Webster, football and basketball. Captain Lorraine Bell, and Isabelle MacRae, Frances Rowan, May Starke have been members of the basket- ball team. The class of 1925 is noted for its students, Alice Williams and Dorothy Walters being the most brilliant. In the commercial departments Lor- raine Bell and Marion Robinson win the honors, while the science department has no outstanding pe;rs. Our most famous musicians are William Ewing, Helen Moser, Alice Williams and Abbie Carter. Our first student leader of the or- chestra was Bill Ewing who also played hero in the Gypsy Rover with Helen Moser as heroine. This play also in- cluded in its cast Nelson Stuhlmuller, Stewart MacKenzie, Isabel Mac Rae, Virginia Ramsay, Roy Holden, Clyde Hill. Paul Roberts and Harold Koch. Every play given by the High School has included members of our class. The class is also good in debating, both formal and informal. It must be ad- mitted that the boys are slightly better, despite the girls’ natural proficiency in talking. The members of the senior de- bating team included Helen Moser, Alice Williams, May Starke, Abbie Carter Harold Koch, Clyde Hill, William Bennett, Stewart MacKenzie. Harold Koch also won out in the school Or- atorial Contest, though Alica Williams came a very close second. In Student Government Association this- year Frances Rowan has been our leader, and Abbie Carter and William Jones our two class representatives. The Association, though still in its infancy, has had a fairly successful year. And so we might go on. This brief review alone is impressing. And when we leave, we leave with the hope and earnest wish that the Class of 1925 may do, in the days to come, so large a share of world services that its Alma Mater, Conshohocken High School may be worthily proud.
