Gemmill Katherine M. Roberts GRADUATION There is a time when the best of friends must part and this year it comes in the month of June when the Senior class of 1926 leaves for- ever the Conshohocken High School. Graduation is looked forward to for four years and then after it is all said and done, one regrets that one is leaving school. People who have never attended school or who have never graduated say. “Well what good did it do them to graduate?” They may say that, hut have they ever known the happiness, toils, and tasks of high school days? Can they look back and think of the friends they made: the things they learned: and the experience they gained? No, they cannot! But the Senior class of C. H. S. can look back and think how it learned to study; how to win in ath- letics and how to have school spirit. There were many times when the class was called to task but it al- ways managed to come out on top with a stronger will power and with minds set for higher ideals. We've learned that fun is not all we should look for in life. Many years from now when we graduates have drifted apart we will meet again and discuss the good old days that were spent at C. H. S. and again (he bond of friendship will be renewed. So now in this year of 1926 we Seniors bid farewell to the Conshohocken High School and go cut into the world __ with an even r'd and with willing hearts to set out to win recognition in what ever we do.—ASSISTANT EDITOPv.

Pupils were seen strolling from all over the town, and with each new arrival our hearts took courage. Our class membership was strengthened by pupils from Spring Mill, Plymouth and Jeffersonville until we numbered lifty-nine. As we were such a large group we were divided and sent to two rooms. Anyone passing in the halls could easily have picked us out as fresh- men, for with our eyes and mouths wide open, we walked along the hall and stopped in front of each door to read the numbers, only to find that some of those dignified seniors had played their first trick on us. Our knees began to weaken and our chins to shake as we heard whispered conversations held along the hall and a chance word dropped about “initiating those green fresh- ies.” We gritted our teeth hard and bore all the punishments with our usual good humor. During the latter part of our Freshman year, a few of the workers dropped by the wayside. The class, as a whole, set out with the idea of establishing a high academic record and in June, 1923 we parted, feeling that we had completed our first year's work satisfactorily. When, two months later, we re- turned to school, it was not in fear or consciousness of our ignorance, but in glory, for we were Sopho- mores and intended to be revenged for the humiliation we suffered as Freshmen! When we returned we renewed our efforts to maintain the unusual rec- ord we had made during our Fresh- man term. Athletics have played a great part in our history and ever since the day we entered C. H. S., we held the inter-class champion- ship in basketball. Many of our classmates were on the football var- sity squad. As our underclass days drew to a close we awaited with eagerness the last two years in order to make them the shining glories of the first two. We were no longer ordinary stu- dents but upper classmen, and con- sequently had more duties to per- form. Our first was the selection of the class ring. In the operetta, “Gypsy Rover,” many of our class members showed wonderful histronic ability. The Junior Prom which was given at the Penn Club as a farewell dance in honor of the seniors, was the last social event of the year so all efforts were taken toward putting it down in the annals of the school as the most enjoyable class affair. Four of the shortest years of our life have passed. In this last year many of our classmates have shown remarkable ability in athletics—foot- ball. basketball, track and baseball. Several of them received medals as a reward for their efforts at the Penn Relays. John Prizer, our president, not on- ly showed himself a leader among his classmates but also quite an ath- lete. As Seniors, it was our duty to take over the management of that official paper, the BLUE AND GOLD. Through the untiring efforts of its editor, Chester Sinclair, and the as- sistant editors, a magazine has been produced of which the school may be justly proud. Many young thespians were found in our midst as a result of the senior play, Green Stockings” which was given in the High School auditorium to raise funds for our tour to Wash- ington. Vera Killmer and Ray Wil- mer played the leading roles. The others, included in the cast, were: Olive Robinson, Florence Campbell, Clara Myers, Catherine Sukalski, Theodore Wiedemann, Harry Rowan, Oscar Wood, George Lentz, Donald Jones and Paul Righter. Much credit is due to Miss Ebersole who coached the play. The play proved a huge success but, then, I ask you, how could it have been otherwise? THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Nine All during our high school life a fine spirit of co-operation existed among the members of the class. It was this which enabled us to raise the desired amount of money in or- der to make the proposed Washing- ton trip a reality. And. who will ever forget the glorious stay in Washington over May 6, 7, 8, when we saw what every true American heart longs to see—its nation's Cap- itol? The Student Government Associa- tion. under the leadership of George Lentz, has had a very successful year. The other three senior mem- bers were: Vera Killmer, Clara Myers and Catherine Sukalski. The close of our enviable school career draws near, and knowing and believing that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER,” let each one strive on with but one thought in mind—that of bringing honor and glory to his Alma Mater! CATHERINE SUKALSKI, ’2(i. Last Will and Testament Re It Remembered, That we. the Class of 1926 of the Conshohocken High School, being of sound and dis- posing mind, memory and under- standing, and considering the uncer- tainty of Life, do therefore make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following, that is to say: YV e do bequeath unto Kemery Kieffer, Solomon Auerbach’s becom- ing feminine attraction in hopes that lie will make a better hit with Naomi Holt. And unto Charles Schimpf we do bequeath George Barron’s fatuation for freckles, in everlasting hopes that he will try his best to win the heart of Miss Laura Hicks. Unto the entire Junior Class we bequeath the Hon. John Beyer’s speed and versatility as we think this would be a great asset to them. John also desires his magic sweater of many colors to be left to “Nuts” Stuhlmuller so that he can be a regular circus man. To “Fats” Martin we will the su- perb stature and athletic genius of Glenn Davis. This will be a great asset to “Fats” as he is seriously thinking of becoming a knife dodger. As is prescribed by our hand and seal, we do bequeath unto John Blackburn, Harold Frankenfield’s knowledge of the farm. We earnest- ly hope that John will cultivate his tenor voice and when he does we hope that he will plant it deep. To be turned over to Charles Schimpf at a later date we have pre- scribed the speed of Raymond Freas with the sincerest hopes that Charles will be greatly aided in his various sports. Upon William Jennings’ big, pow- erlui 1914 Overland, we do fully bur- den the selection of pretty girls of “Goat” Gilinger’s “taxi.” And now the wit and humor of Private Paul Hannum we do be- queath unto the Junior Class in hopes that this will help them to moisten their jokes and wise cracks. And we may also add Paul's Ginger snaps, so that the Juniors may take them to Washington next year. The oratorical ability of Prof. Jones we thrust upon Merrit Bishop in hopes that he can sell tires and tubes to a better advantage. Upon Harold Griffith rests the athletic prowess of Nate Graubard in hopes that Harold will strut his stuff with the varsity five next year. To William Vance we give Ger- main LaBrecque's wonderful head of hair so he will have an excuse to leave his hat home. George Lentz' sheiky looks we do bequeath unto Earl DiJenno so Earl can land Miss King. And now our celebrated ordainer of Irish wit, the Hon. James E. Mel- lon, has devised unto the entire Jun- ior Class his bag of tricks and wise cracks in hopes that they will hold their own hereafter. To Louis Sponar we bequeath the inventive genius of George Middle- ton. George always had an easy way of getting in good with the teachers, so he has bequeathed said ability to Isaac Moore. Page Ten THE BLUE AND GOLD And now the pugilistic ability of Bobby Neil has been thrust upon “Goofie Williams. “Goofie” will make a fortune beating rugs. The presidential, athletic, states- manlike person of John Pfizer is be- queathed to the entire school. Bob Ramsey's love for Shorthand we do bequeath to the students of the Commercial Course. Paul Righter’s talent as an opera- singer we do thrust) upon Charles Love. Unto Sydney Finklestein we do bequeath Harry Rowan's ability to use a golf club. Sydney can hunt rats as to a much better advantage with an asset like thist. Vernon Scott's good nature and amiable disposition we will to Sam Kessler. “Scottie won’t get very far if he keeps them. To Weldon Hitchcock we give Chester Sinclair's horn so he can sell more waffles. And to the Sophomores we assign Dutch Wiedemann's brilliance and his ability as a chemist (he has un- successfully tried to blow up the school three times now.) The likeness of Ray Wilmer as Cupid has been duly exposed to George Young. Won’t he smash the girls hearts now? We do hereby bequeath to whom- soever feels he has the courage and strength to shoulder such a respon- sibility, Cecil Johnston's incessant line of chatter. It can safely be divided between more than one. And unto the Sophomore girls we do bequeath “Si” Adair’s brush and easel, together, with paint. They have been out of paint and look bad. Ed. Hill's melodious cry of “Fish” we do devise and bequeath unto Felix Woznicki. He can sell tripe to a better advantage with such an asset. Fred Faust’s likeness of a GreeK god together with his talkative nature we do give to Murl Griffith. And also Albert DiCurcio’s beauti- ful eye lashes together with his mighty frame we bequeath unto Cion. To Sydney Finklestein we do give all the Senior's old razor blades. Hr can now scrape the fuzz off his face. To Frances King we do bequeath Kathryn Bulger’s ability as a basket ball player. Frances can now shine in the limelight as well as her boy friend George. Florence Campbell’s ability as an actress, singer, and dancer we do devise unto Elizabeth Quigg. Won't Freasey be proud of her now? Dorothy Davies’ studious nature can safely be divided among the Freshmen Class. The rookies need it. Unto Emma Ruth we will Viola Vercoe’s knowledge of the type- wrighter which she has so carefully acquired. Unto Ethel Fite we do bequeath Anne Griffith’s boy friends. Won't Ethel be happy now? Dorothy Carponet's talkative nature we do give to Mary Head. The flapper personage of Florence Crawford we will unto Thelma Hallman. Thelma will surely smash the boys hearts now. To the Freshmen boys who are always hanging around the High School building at eight o’clock, we have given Esther Cressman’s two mile walk so they won't get here so early. Alice Davenport’s vocabulary we do bequeath unto William Vance. To Emiline Dyson we prescribe Mary Fennel's bobbed hair. To Naomi Holt we do bequeath Rosella Gravinese’s beautiful brown eyes. Naomi will create havoc with Van now. Gladys Horisk’s saintly ways we do bequeath to Isaac Moore. To Betty Wallace we will Rose Kauffman’s rosey cheeks. Ann Keown's willowy form we have prescribed for David Martin. He needs it. The dignified, demure and bashful ways of Vera Killmer may safely be divided among the Sophomore Girls. To Archie Glass we do bequeatli Mary Tancini's line of chattel . THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Eleven The tall slim personage of Olglena Krieble we do bequeath unto Murl Griffith. He will be up in the World some day. Clara Myer’s pugilistic nature we will to Milton Jacobson. Milt needs such an asset if he is going to be a lawyer. To Sam Kessler we do bequeath Genevieve Millhouse’s tortoise rims so he can see far into the future. Maybe this will keep him awake. Dorothy Ramsey's big brown eyes we will to Peggy Piero. She surely will give Milt a thrill now. The argumentive nature of Olive Robinson we give to Betty Yost. The remarkable dancing ability of Margaret Sampson we will to George Young. George will knock them all dead at the Junior prom next year. Ruth Staley’s avoirdupois we give to Dave Johnstone. He will make the football team next year. Catherine Sukalski’s wisdom we do devise and bequeath unto the entire Shorthand class of ’27. Marie Townsend’s speed as a typist we give to Rebecca Zook.

Also to the Class of 1927 we will our hard-earned seats in chapel. The Senior Hall of Fame we do prescribe to be given to the Junior Boys. Unto Louis Sponar we do devise and bequeath the vast amount of money that is in the coveted treasury of the Klim Klub. The members of the Class of '26 leave their thanks to all the teachers who have so bravely put up with us during yur four years? struggle. And lastly we do make, constitute and appoint Archibald Glass to be executor of this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all for- mer wills and testaments by us at any time heretofore made, and de- claring this to be our last Will and Testament.

Page Twelve THE BLUE AND GOLD Prophecy j One day, about the close of the afternoon, Mr. Saylor our Prof, in the mysteries of Chemistry, ap- proached me with the following un- pleasant exclamation, “Look here, your inattention of the past few days necessitates your doing a few experiments after school this eve- ning, in order to keep up with the remainder of the class.” What I said did not reach his ears. However, I arrived in the laboratory immediately after school and quite reluctantly proceeded to mix and intermix all the combina- tions known to science, as 1 thought at that time. Suddenly Mr. Saylor said, “George I must go to the faculty meeting, but continue with your work, and after you have finished you may go home.” His back was hardly turned when I gazed about the laboratory and my attention was attracted to the little closet marked, “Stay Out.” Now, I always did want to know what was in there, so here was my chance, i walked to the closet and found that the door yielded very easily. After a short exploration, during which 1 discovered some hydrophlorics. some more ics and ous’s, my eyes sud- denly rested on a small vial un- labeled and slightly corked. Ah, here was something. Now for some fun, for I didn't care, kill or cure, as I was going to find out what it was. So back to my desk I went and proceeded to analyze this mysterious fluid. I tried every action and re- action I could think of but without results. At last 1 poured some fluid which I thought to be water upon it. Suddenly a terrific explosion oc- cured and I was enveloped in a hazy pink smoke. From the dense smoke a voice exclaimed, “What have you done?” Oh, I thought, this is an awful fix I am in; here's Prof, back and finds me in this smoke. But upon gazing into the haze a second time I recognized not our Prof., but a gigantic figure like the Grecian giants of old. “George, he shrieked, “You have brought me forth from my rest under the pryra- mids of Egypt: there I have slept these thousands of years. Til par- don you if you only give me the bottle you have in your hand, so that I may drink of it and go back to my rest. “By this time I had gained courage. “No, 1 have you and now I must know all about you.” However, he again exclaimed, “George, I must go back to my rest; ask any wish, and if you free me it shall be granted.” “Ah,” thought I, here is my chance I’ll wish for an A in Chemistry this month. But no, there is that class prophecy to write. With my mind fully detei mined, I exclaimed, “If you tell me the future of the lives of my classmates. I'll free you. He paused a moment and then replied: “It’s hard, but listen. I had power before my death to force the world on into the future any number of years I desired. I still retain that power, so now stick close to me. don't ask any questions, but use your eyes, and your wish will be fulfilled. He uttered a shrill whistle, and a strange looking craft floated through the pink atmosphere. He got into the craft and, after seating myself beside him. we were whisked away. Where we flew, how we flew, how fast we flew. I do not know, but we sure did fly. Sud- denly we stopped. “Where are we now?” I inquired. “We are now on the outskirts of Conshohocken, only it is now 1946 instead of 1926, replied the geniei After safely landing, we descended from our craft and proceeded to walk toward the city. After walk- ing a short distance through a field, we were terrified by a shrill scream. In a short time I beheld Vera Kill- mer rushing wildly from a barn into a neighboring farm- house. I was soon astonished to overhear the conversation between Vera and the dairyman, who to my surprise proved to be Ray Wilmer. “Oh, Ray,” cried Vera, “That old cow k eked me in the shins. I am afraid it’s broken.” “The doggone critter,” exclaimed Ray; “Did she spill the milk.” While I was there Harold Frank- enfield drove up ii his truck with some feed. We all talked and joked about our school days, THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Thirteen The genie and I resumed our journey and after a short stroll we were confronted by a gang of work- men, who were engaged in laying car tracks into the city. Among the crowd of laborers who were handl- ing the pick and shovel with great mastry were “Natie” Graubard. “Pewee' Mannum and “Fritz” Faust. After watching our friends pro- ceed with their work for a short time we were attracted by an auto- mobile, bearing the sign, “TAXI”. We quickly decided to complete our journey by auto. Upon hailing the driver, I recognized our old friend, Frank “Goat” Gilinger. “How are you, Goat?” says I. “How quickly can you convey us to the city?” “Well replied Goat, blushingly, “1 suppose I can make the next three miles in about a minute.” We were soon in the heart of the metropolis. After leaving the auto we were attracted by a voice in the distance, which seemed strangely familiar. Upon following the crowd we beheld our famous orator, Donald Jones, on a soap box discussing the merits ot a particular make of band instru- ment. Shortly, Jonesy was disturbed by a screechy voice shouting, “Solomon's fresh peanuts.” To our amazement we found it to be “Monk” Auerbach, who was busily disposing his stock. We decided to go to the theatre and therefore boarded a street car. To my surprise the conductor was Paul Righter. In a short time we arrived at the theatre. Upon ap- proaching the box office, we recog- nized the famous ticket seller, Harry Rowan. We then made our way to the entrance and discovered “Bob Ramsey taking tickets. While I was talking to Bob a sudden noise attracted eur attention. In came “Dot” Ramsay, Clara Myers, Olive Robinson and Genexieve Millhouse chattering like a bunch of squirrels. “What ails that bunch?” I asked Bob. ‘Perpetual talkitis,” was the an- swer. We then seated ourselves and the curtain rose for the first number, when Florence Shoes” Campbell came to the front to sing “So’s your Old Man.” Next was another solo entitled “Show Me the Way to Go Home” which was rendered by no other than Oscar “Ottie Wood, our famous army man. The orchestra then played “The Chewing Gum” scene from “Wrig- leyetto.” The music of this melody was exceedingly entrancing and was rendered by musicians of great note. Among them I soon distinguished Glenn Davis, Germaine LaBrecque and Chester Sinclair. Next on the program was a solo rendered by ‘Bob” Neil which was entitled 'I Cannot Sing the Old Songs.” He never could. After several long minutes of agony, we decided to leave the house of grief. My guide then took me down a side street where we passed the stage entrance. Standing there were two men in the regulation aDer-six rig. “Who are those men?” I asked my guide. “They are Theodore Wiedeman and George I entz, the worst stage door Jonnies in town,’ was the re- ply. I immediately recognized them as my old friends, “Ted” and ‘Sport Model” Lenlzie. We decided to return to our ma- chine. To our dismay we were un- able to find means of transporta- tion, but sudenly in the distance we spied a truck coming toward us. Much to our surprise we found the driver to be no other than Edward Hill. Upon our request he said that he would drive us to our destina- tion. As we drove along we passed a large palatial mansion. Ed in- formed me that It was the resi- dence of Raymond ‘Squire” Freas. Contractor and Builder, and that it had been built by him for his wife. After bidding Ed good-bye we boarded our craft and were quickly sent through the air. In a short time we were hovering over the city of Philadelphia. We soon landed and in a short time were in the center of the city. We were standing on a street corner when I recognized an old classmate, Albert DiCurcio, pass by carrying an announcement which read as follows: Champion Boxing Match for the Heavyweight Title of the World. Battling “Si Adair vs. Bulldog Barron We remembered these names ae Page Fourteen THE BLUE AND GOLD belonging to those of our class- mates, who made fighting popular during our school days. We there- fore followed the crowd to the arena. As we entered the gateway we were hailed by several ushers, who proved to be Anne Keown. Florence Craw- ford, Mary Fennell. Esther Cress- man and Alice Davenport. “How are you Anne? What on earth brought you and your friends here? I inquired. “Oh, Anne Griffiths In- duced us to accompany her to this city to answer several matrimonial advertisements. She was successful in landing her hubby but we are stranded.” In a short time the fight began. During the second round a riot was started and the police raided the arena to discontinue the fight. As the squadron rushed past our seats we realized it was headed by Jimmie'' Mellon. The prisoners were soon landed in the patrol wagon. We found the vehicle in charge of Cecil Johnston, who in- vited us to be present at the hear- ing. We immediately started to walk towards the police court. While on our way we entered a drug store and behind the counter was no other than Vernon Scott. While we were sitting there I glanced out of the window and saw Kathryn Bulger pass by with another girl. I rushed out the door to speak to her but by the time I had reached the street she had dissappeared. We then proceeded towards the police court again. On our way we passed a restaurant and to my surprise 1 saw Olglenna Krieble, Rose Kauff- man. Catherine Sukalski and Mary Tancini waiting on the tables. In a short time we found the court and without ceremony entered and took a seat. When the first case on the docket, was called, and the prisoner was brought forth. I concluded that this was surely an unluckly day for the Class of ’2fi, as the prisoner proved to be John “Lightning” Beyer, who was accused of drunkenness and beating his wife. We, however, thought these accusations to be false, as Johnnie was strictly tem- perate during his school days. The case was tried by the noted judge, John Prizer. After several questions, the judge remarked, 'Look here, you've been drinking; I smell it on your breath.” Beyer immediately replied. 'Not a drop: I've been eating frog’s legs; what you smell is the hop.” “Silence,” thundered Judge Prizer. “I suppose drink was your downfall.” “Yes,” answered Beyer with great calmness! “I took a drink of water which had microbes in it, and 1 haven't had a well day since.” I could hardly suppress a smile, for 1 realized that the case would scon be settled. The next offender was accused of speeding and proved to be Ruth Staley She was going forty-five miles an hour,” answered the cop. “But I had been out only ten minutes. replied Ruth. “Twelve-fiifty and costs. Let this be a lesson for you,” said the judge. He then called for the next prisoner. To our surprise Margaret Sampson was escorted into the room. “What is the charge?” asked Judge Prizer. “Annoying the comunity by in- cessant talking, complaint entered by husband, who was yesterday con- fined to a sanitarium for weak nerves. read the clerk of court. “When ycu were here before I told you I never wanted to see you again.” thundered the judge. “I told the policeman that, but he wouldn't believe me,” said the prisoner. “The jug, thirty days,” shouted Judge Prizer. We decided to leave then and as we went out I looked over towards the jury. There I saw Marie Town- send, Dorothy Davies, Viola Ver- coe, Gladys Horisk. Rosella Gravi- nese and Dorothy Carponek We turned back to our machine and in a short time were there. After entering the craft I turned to my trusty pilot, and said. “You have surely fulfilled your promise tn showing me the future of my class- mates. but before you return to your wierd home, tell me of my future. Hesitatingly, he replied, “I'd rather not, but if you insist, here goes. He turned the machine and we headed North. Hour . by hour we traveled, and colder and THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Fifteen colder it grew. Suddenly a terrific explosion occurred, and I felt sprays of water dashing over my face. Then a strange thing happened; l awoke and found itl to be all a dream, for I had heated a vial con- taining ether and, on becoming warm, the fumes carried me off to the land of dreams. In a few moments I had been fully revived by several members of the faculty. Ana thus I owe this acount of the future of the best class that ever will graduate from the Conshohocken High School, that of 1926. to the ac- cident of that afternoon.

She is also forever powdering her nose. Olglenna has a hard time get- ting back to school after a holiday and so after a little persuasion on her part, her mother thinks she shouldn’t go to school that day.

On the light fantastic toe!” THE ORCHESTRA AND BAND The month of June has arrived, and for many it only means the coming of another summer vacation, while for others it means the end of their high school days. Due to graduation, the orchestra will lose many of its members who have helped for the past years in making the orchestra the success it is today. These members do not wish to claim all of the success be- cause if it were not for the ability of their leader, Miss Jane E. Griffith, the orchestra would not have prospered as it did. It is only fair that we should make mention of the names of these members who tire leaving this year. Glenn Davis, First Clarinetist. Glenn has been a great help to the orchestra since he entered in his Freshman year as second violinist. In his Sophomore year he was pro- moted to first violinist, holding this position until February of his Senior year, when due to the fact that the orchestra lost the valuable help of Fred Faust, Glenn began to bring his clarinet to orchestra practice and later was made first clarinetist, holding this place until graduation. He has been a great help to the band as solo clarinetist. Besides the clarinet, he plays the violin, saxophone, and piano. Fred Faust. First Clarinetist. Fred joined the orchestra in the beginning of his Junior year as the only clarinet player and held this position until his Senior year, when he was jo'ned by Germain La- Brecque. Since Fred finished school in February he has been playing third clarinet with the Wanamaker Band. Fred was also clarinet player with the high school band. Germain LaBrecque, First Clari- netist. Germain ha® been with the orchestra and band since the be- ginning of his Senior year. He has also been very faithful at rehearsals and has proven a great help to both. Chester Sinclair, Solo Cornetlst. Chester is another member who joined the orchestra in his Fresh- man year as second cornetist, and who worked his way up to soloist. He has been very faithful in his four years work, and it has been through him that the orchestra has Page Twenty-Four THE BLUE AND GOLD been able to accomplish some of the difficult compositions. He has very successfully acted assistant con- ductor of the band, and has devoted a great deal of his time to its ad- vancement. Chester is an ac- complished musician. George Barron, Second Cornetist. George has played second cornet in the orchestra for the past three years. He has been the back bone of the second cornet players, tne music being very difficult tjo play. In the band he has successfully played first alto horn, which has been a great help. Cecil Johnston, C-Celody Saxo- phonist. Cecil has ben in the or- chestra and band since the begining of his Senior year, and has been very helpful to the melody saxo- phone section. Dona’d Jones, First Trombonist, Donald joined the orchestra in May of his Junior year, being the first trombone player in the orchestra. He also played first in the band. Russell Adair, First Violinist. Russell has been a very1 faithful member of the orchestra for the past four years and has been pre- sent at all rehearsals. He is one of the best first violinists. We, the graduating members, wish to say goodbye to the orchestra at this time, and we hope that it will go on and prosper in the future as ii has in the past. If every one is faithful to his leader and with the school backing you. I am sure that you will go over the top. DONALD JONES, ’26. THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON Just why the task of presenting a narrative of our famous three-day sojourn in the nations capital, was given to me, 1 have never been able to discover, but as Fate was willed vkurt k. Mtsi gnat. 1 hereby submit this manuscript. To b jgin with, this trip was some- thing new for Conshohocken High. Hut usually around the first or sec- ond week in May, professors of dif- ferent schools have gathered to- gether their flock prepared to start on a brief tour of the famous “White City of America.” This year, the class of June. 1926, and February, 1926, composed that dignified and stately group. You can easily im- agine the atmosphere of gloom that pervaded the school when our ab- sence was felt on Thursday morning, May 6. 1926. However, this did not seem to have thp slightest earthly effect on this royal bunch of Seniors, for when the train pulled out of the Teiminal at 9.55 a. m. on May 6th, never had hilarity reigned more supreme. Pleasure seemed to be the password and except for a few card games which flourished here and there, everybody was trying to talk at once. Finally we arrived at the Capital, after emptying our lunch boxes dur- ing the trip. We were solemnly promised that nothing in the form of satisfaction for a hungry stomach would be donated by the hotel until 7 o’clock that evening. The train pulled into Union Sta- tion at 12.50 p. m. and the wild horde piled off into a room which makes our Broad Street Station or Reading Terminal fade into oblivion. Union Station is one of the most ornate structures of its kind in the world. It stands at the intersection of Mass, and Del. Avenues, two of Washington’s most prominent thor- oughfares. in close proximity to the Capitol. The natural advantages of this site is further enhanced by the creation of a plaza, five hundred feet wide and one thousand feet long. From this p’aza radiate nine different avenues and streets. It is a fitting portal to our capitol. Prom the station we rode direct to the Capitol Building. It is situated on Capitol Hill almost in the centre of Washington. The wanderers filed into the rotunda of the Capitol where guides were ready to conduct us a 1 through the building and explain its many features. Included in the tour was the Sen- ate and House of Representatives, and the activity of both houses was conspicuous for its absence. To put down on paper the many features of the Capitol would be almost an im- possibility, but we cannot pass by one of the greatest works of Art in America. This is the Brumidi fres- co, which is situated in the rotunda canopy. In the center of this mar- velous painting is the Apothiosis of THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Twenty-Five Washington. On his right sits Free- firm. on his left Victory, while about him float Aerial figures representing the Original thirteen states. Around this centerpiece are groups repre- senting the fall of Tryanny. Agricul- ture, Mechanics, Commerce, Marine, Progress. Arts and Sciences. On leaving the Capitol we were taken through the beautiful Botani- cal Gardens, to the United States Fish Commission. It then had to he agreed that we spend the rest of the time going through the Old and New National Museums. Really it wou'd take days to go through them right, but we did the best we could and Hied to examine the more importato features of both places. What a coterie of marvelous old animals met our view! Little had we realized that such fierce animals once inhabited the earth. Leaving the New National Museum at 4.30 p. m. in sight-see- ing automobiles we made a tour of the city, viewing business and re- sidential sections, parks, squares, embassies and homes of prominent people. During the whole auto trip we noticed those things for which Washington is famous, its wide clean streets and its abundance of trees and parks. Stopping en route at the Lincoln Memorial we noticed that the steps, platforms, cheek blocks, terrace wall and steps ami walks of the approaches are con- structed of l’ink Milford granite from Massachusetts. The interior walls, columns and ceiling are Indiana limestone. The important feature is the statue of Lincoln, placed in the centre of the Me- morial, designed and executed by Daniel Chester French, of New York. It is done in white marble from Georgia. All of a sudden our stomachs began to tell us that dinner time was nigh so with that iis a further impetus we soon ar- rived at the hotel, where, I feel justified in saying, we all did justice to a meal, which at that time, tasted better than any other meai we had ever eaten. Afterward we departed again, obis time to see one of the most magnifi- cent buildings in Washington. The Congressional Library, situated just east of the Capitol, is probably the most elaborately adorned building In the world. It's architecture is of the Italian Renaissance school, its ex- terior being perfectly plain. The main reading room or rotunda is topped with a large copper covered dome which has been covered with a thin plating of twenty-two karat gold. The students spent a tew hours examining its art and trea- surers, and when they returned to the hotel about 10 o’clock it was agreed that the evening had been well spent. As it was in order to retire about this time everybody departed to- ward his respective room and soon all was not quiet. Sleep was not on the list. Noises could be heard here, there and everywhere. And it was very early in the morning be- fore all was quiet. Friday May 7th, dawned bright and clear, and after a hearty break- fast, which temporarily conqured our appetites we set out for the De- partment of Engraving and Print- ing, which was to be our first stop. In this building, located at Four- teenth and “B” streets, S W„ is manufactured all the national paper Currency, Government Bonus, Stamps and passports. We were conducted through by two com- petent guides and the ease and seeming carlessness w rh which the men and women handled the money was really striking. But it is known that every single square inch ot printing paper is accounted for. The guides and employees were rather amused when many requests for souvenirs were directed at them. Leaving here our very active guides then directed our steps to the Washington Monument. This is the greatest of all memorial shattis, is five hundred and fifty-five feet high and was thirty seven years in building, the site being chosen by Washington himself. The top is reached by an elevator or a flight of nine hundred steps, but as luck or fate would have it the elevator wasn't running when we arrived, so it was up to us to raise our own avoirdupois, step by step, until we could look through the holes at the top. Oh! What a climb; A quarter of the way up, your muscles began to tighten, half way up you think they were tied in knots, three quarters of the way up you get Page Twenty-Six THE BLUE AND GOLD dizzy as though hot irons were sear- ing the muscles, hut patience and endurance won and we finally reached the top. The view was superh. All Washington lay spread out at our feet, with the Potomac River winding its course in either direction between the hills of Maiyland and Virginia. We were well repaid for our trouble. Time soon rolled around and this brought us to our next scheduled visit. The White House. We made a hasty visit hut had time to take in the beautiful rooms we had heard so much about. We then went to the hotel and after a hearty appettite which had been aggravated by much traveling (mostly up and down) we finally came to the most interesting part of our tour, the trip to Arling- ton and Mt. Vernon. Everyone was jolly, but our hilarity soon sobered when, in Arlington, tine long rows of white tombstones, in- dicating the final resting place or American heroes, came into view. After going through the cemetery we arrived at. Robert E. Lee’s Mansion. During our visit there we were told to take a “Drink of the Fountain of Youth.” We left there and were taken to the tomb of the unknown soldier. This all proved to be very interesting. We were then moved on. We hoarded a waiting car, which took us to Mt. Vernon. The annual custom of “sitting for a Mt. Vernon picture” was gone through, and then an exploration ot the house and grounds began. The realization that we were visiting the estate where the Father of our Country lived and died seemed to fill our souls with greatest awe and patriotism. In our journeys through the estate we came upon the final resting place of our first President. His remains are in a new tomb, located on the path lead- ing from the river. The tour com- pleted, we departed about five o’- clock by steamer, and were soon eating a hearty dinner at the hotel. As we were to spend the evening at our own pleasure the hotel was soon practically deserted. Some re- tired, it is true, but most) of the group left the hotel for a night's relaxation. The next morning—another bright Clear day, a hearty breakfast, and we left the hotel at 8.30 a. m. for the Pan-American building, Corco- ran Gallery of Art, and Red Cross Building. The Pan-American is one of the most unique buildings in tne world, being a capital within a capital, for it is the headquarters of all the American Republics. It was erected by these twenty-one governments on a pro-rata basis, assisted by Andrew Carnegie. One of its best features is the magnifi- cent ballroom. A little dancing would not have displeased us hut other more pressing matters were drawing us away, so we departed to make our way to the Corcoran Gallery of Art. This building of beautiful Georgia Marble, standing on the corner of New York avenue, and Seventh street, was built to supercede the original Corconm Gallery of Art, presented to the people of the United States by Wil- liam Wilson Corcoran in 1869. It contains a large collection of paint- ings, sculpture and bronzes, works of the most eminent artists in the world. We then left for the Red Cross building and after being shown through the place we were entirely collected and a hasty re- treat to the hotel was in order. At one p. n„ the pantry was again opened wide and, our hungry, healthy group once more did away with a hearty meal. As the time neared for our departure we packed up our effects, and bidding good-bye to our hotel friends left in sight- seeing automobiles for Union Station. At three o’clock the train left the station and, although Washington may be one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, I can truthfully say that everyone was glad of the fact that he was going to his “Home Sweet Home” where Mother’s cooking appeases appetites far better than that of any other cook in the world. DOROTHY RAMSAY. SENIOR CLASS NOTES The zenith of the Senior Class was reached on Friday evening, May twenty-first when the Junior Class entertained at the Plymouth Country Club and had as their guests the Senior Class. THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Twenty-Seven The ball rom was beautifully de- corated with colors of both classes, green and white, and blue and steel. There was a great contrast of these colors and the pretty gowns of the young ladies. Delicious refresh- ments were served during the inter- mission and the merrymakers were refreshed with punch between the dances. The well-know Arcadians from Norristown furnished the excellent music for dancing. Their witty songs and merry laughs kept the dancers in spirited mirth. At the close of the dance, John Prizer, our able president, gave an address of thanks to the Juniors. Cheers followed by both classes, it was unanimously voted a night of pleasure. How do you like the senior pic- tures? Don’t you think the class should present “Goat” with a comb? Just think, schoolmates, this is the last time that the noble Seniors of 19-26 will have their column in this enjoyable magazine. May it prosper. Two of the teachers in the graces were absent on account of illness so Ruth Staley and Catherine Sukalski showed their ability as future teachers, perhaps. Florence Crawford and Germain Labrecque cannot find thrills enough on the ground so they had to try the air. Last week they journeyed to Doylestown and went sailing in the air. Ask them how they enjoyed their aeroplane ride. Florence said she wasn’t frightened at all. We are glad to report that several of the Seniors have secured posi- tions for their future business career. We wish tliem luck. We are glad to have “Tinker” back with us again. He has had a vacation of a week. A few Senior boys have great ex- pectations They think that they all will be called upon to deliver the valedictory address. ANNA KEOWN, ’26. THEO. WIEDEMANN, ’26.
