(Continued on page 36) Twenty-six HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1930 IN THE autumn of 1926 forty-five potential graduates entered Downingtown High School. An uneventful year followed during which we accustomed ourselves to the daily routine and began to take an interest and an active part in various school activities. Early in the following term the class organized with Carl Peterson as President. The various attempts made during the Sophomore year to obtain the “Wherewithal” to go to Washington met with some success. During this year many members obtained berths on the varsity football, baseball and basketball teams. At the beginning of the 1928-29 school term a number of new students were enrolled and at once became active members of the class. Sara Diffenderfer was selected to lead the class during this year. The annual hot-dog roast conducted by the Juniors as well as the party were great successes. The minstrel show also proved highly successful both from a pecuniary as well, as a social viewpoint. The biggest enterprise of the year was the publication of a High School annual, the first to ever be published in I). H. S. Under the greatest difficulties the class aided by Miss Ulrich and Mr. Schmidt succeeded in their attempt and presented to the public at the close of the school year, The Cuckoo. The class also was well represented in all athletic teams. About half of the football and two-thirds of the girls’ basketball squads were composed of members of the Class of '30. The class ended the year with the customary Junior-Senior Reception. It was with an almost oppressive feeling of dignity and importance that each and every member of the now Senior Class walked majestically up the front steps and entered the historic home of the Senior Class, Room 12, on a September morning of 1929. Such was the beginning of our last year. The first official meeting of the class was naturally devoted to the election of officers. Donald Harrison received the honor, as well as the work, of being selected to lead the class through its final year. A great interest and participation in all athletic activities was shown by our members, the majority of the positions on all of the varsity teams being held by them. In cooperation with the English department a school paper, the BiSews, was published. Our first big enterprise however, was the presentation of 1 he Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. After a period of hard work this drama was successfully presented on December 20. It was followed by a party given only a few days later in the Minquas gym. This proved to be another success. Our activities are by no means ended. Plans have be.n made for another party' to lie given in March and practice has already commenced on a second play, “Smiling 1 hrough, to be presented early in April. If all goes well we will leave tor ashington the latter part of April during the Easter vacation. Following this trip will be a May Day festival and last Commencement. We approach this event with sorrow, gladness, fear, and trembling; but this our final aim seems to be in the far future, compared with immediate interests. The Seniors immediate aim is to keep a five-cent piece long enough to thoroughly examine it so we will lie able to recognize that article if we should happen to ever see one again. Phyllis L. Hlrlock. Twenly-seven CLASS PROPHECY THE other day I found a large crystal ball up in the attic. Being curious, I examined it closely and discovered it possessed a strange property. The shadows in it moved and formed a series of pictures. The pictures revealed to me the future of my classmates. Donald Harrison was a chemist, very successful in the field of metallurgy. Phyllis Hurlock had received her A.B. degree and was teaching English in the new D. H. S. Lulu Havecker had made a name for herself in the Olympic games. Louise Van Tassel had taken up journalism and was the Archive s star reporter. Harry Brown was a famous doctor and had also organized a championship debating team. Grace Walton was an art teacher and tried commercial art and dress designing in her spare moments. Sara Diffenderfer was teaching Algebra and Latin in D. H. S. She replaced Mr. Heffner when he moved on to better things. Walter Fisher had been a successful commercial teacher, and had now established a business school in the old D. H. S. Julia Esworthy had also tried commercial teaching but forsook it for banking. She expects to lie the president in a few years. Charles McCardell, after going broke in Hollywood, became a noted electrical engineer. Sara Young wanted to teach in foreign lands and finally became a missionary to the Chinese. Donald Dixon had given up his baseball career to be an electrician. Edwin Lewis was a corporation lawyer for the American Stores Company, and represented it very ably at court. Alice Johnston was directing the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and leading it on to bigger and better things. Mildred Aumiller and Miriam Swarner were heads of a large kindergarten. Nelson Norris was a famous electrical engineer. He got his early experience preparing shocks for Hi-Y initiations. Elizabeth Green taught in the grades of D. H. S. anil received the pupils of the kindergarten. George Snyder followed in his father’s footsteps and became a plumber. He is becoming expert at forgetting his tools. Rhoda Reber and Emily Hughes became expert stenographers and were now assisting Walter Fisher in his business school. Anna Entriken is making a name for herself through her speedy typing. Ruth Laird is a famous nurse and is constantly in demand. Jack Pannebaker grows nut trees by the million and has hundreds of acres devoted to his work. Grace Popjoy is the school nurse in a bigger D. H. S. Joseph Mento gave up a position of bookkeeper to send the D. H. S. football team to victory by his expert coaching. Twenty-eight lone Ramthun is a private secretary and writes best-sellers during her vacations. Florence McConaghy, Mable Bowman and Gladys Hall are Edwin Lewis' able stenogs and assist him in bringing his cases to a successful close. Lillian Ladley is a bookkeeper in the principal’s office in the new D. H. S. James Mahan is leading an orchestra that makes Rudy Vallee gnash his teeth in envy. Earl Fulton has built a drug-store beautiful, which sells everything from lipsticks to automobile tires. William Showalter is a plumber in the firm of Snyder Son. Robert Jefferis is head of the forest-rangers employed by Jack Pannebaker to take care of the nut tree forests. Witmer Weaver and Harry Deets are daring air-mail pilots and do barnstorming in their vacations. Everett Buckley is owner of a chain of theaters. Harold Forbes is working in his uncle’s garage and is trying for the world’s record in auto-racing. Slowly the shadows returned to their former places and I could see no more. The vision was ended. Ivagene Roberts, '30. (urz CLASS WILL The Senior Class of 1930 hereby bequeathes 0. Harold Forbes’ laziness to Mary Bareford. 1.

It is the most sincere wish of the class that those not mentioned in this will, will not in any way feel hurt.

We were overcome with awe at the self-confidence and superiority of the upper classmen. In our Sophomore year we organized and, under the capable supervision of Amy Murray, our President, we gave a Valentine Party. It was the best party of the school year. We assembled again in September 1929 as Juniors. We elected our class officers: Clarence Myers, President; Jane Walton, Vice-President; David Heilig, Secretary; Nadeine Reiter, Treasurer. We purchased class rings and pins after due consideration. In November we gave a dance in the Minquas Gym. It was the first party given there and we met with singular success. In April our 'wo American History classes, under the leadership of Mr. Heffner, visited Gettysburg. In May we gave another dance in the Minquas Gym. Again in May we entertained the departing Seniors. And now comes the end of another year and we are prepared to become dignified Seniors. M. Leta Tweed.

The Valedictorian was Thomas Brookover and the Salutatorian, Mary Bareford. George Ciarlone and Lillian Bareford received the American Legion Medals. Horace Hutchison and Virginia McMichael were awarded the history medals given the D. A. R. Our motto was “Look Ahead.” The following September we went into Dovvningtovvn High School. We were proud to be there, though we were obtuse and green Freshmen. Our class had a distinction even then for we were by far the largest class in the high school. The first social event of the year was the Freshmen Reception. Donning our J'h irtij-jh best clothes and our party manners, we went with fearful hearts, but arrived home safe, with only a few locks of hair missing. In athletics we were not as backward as Presides” often are for “Dot Diff” our guard, made the Girls’ Basketball Team and Ruth Pannebaker, the second team. Some of our hoys also went out for football, basketball, and baseball. The next year we came back from vacation elevated to the rank of Sophomores. We lost no time in organizing and forming a real up-and-doing class. We changed our motto to “Toil Conquers All Things” and our colors were Old Rose and Gray. We started the year by having 100 per cent banking and thus we started the keen competition in banking which the high school has had this past year. In February we had a Valentine party which had been well planned. Dancing, cards, and other amusements added to the success of the first party our class had ever attempted. Again we were well represented in athletics. Three Sophomores were cheer leaders and the class supported them as a large class should, with good, loud cheering. So far our career in D. H. S. has been very successful but we wish to make our class of benefit to our town and school. We hope that our next two years in high school will be successful and that Downingtown High School will be proud of the Class of 32 for we are proud of our school and shall always remember the happiest days of our lives within her walls of learning.

Bowman Everett Lammey CLASS HISTORY ALTHOUGH the majority of the present students of the Freshman Class graduated from the Downingtown Grammar School, some were students of the country schools. In the eighth grade this class was known for its friendliness ami cooperation. The class did much to inaugurate constructive projects, the grade symphony orchestra being one of these. Our class was the first to ever organize as much as possible when freshmen. We elected one officer, Parke Moore, as chairman of the class. We are striving along with, or rather against, the other classes to win the class popularity contest held by Hutchison’s Drug Store. The Freshmen aid in the support of the various activities of the High School. They are ably represented in sports, literary and musical lines. We hope our class will develop into a history making one, and that when we are Seniors, Downingtown will be proud of us. Mary Travaglini. Thirty-nine 8TH GRADE Algiers, Evelyn Baldwin, Howard D.

Five in the class come to us from East Cain Township, two from East Bradford Township and one from East Brandywine. The class has a great amount of musical ability. The Grade Orchestra of East Ward Building is mainly composed of members of this class. In the orchestra we find Beryl Hurlock, pianist; Helen Hyde, violin; Helen Good, violin; Betty Pollock, violin; Ralph Entrekin, violin; Carmen Travaglini, trombone; Howard Baldwin, baritone; Mildred Deputy, alto horn; Lois Brown, alto horn; Carrie Miley, alto horn. The Gra-Y Club, sponsored by Y. M. C. A. of Coatesville, and organized in the Grammar Grades in December have all officers chosen from this class. The officers of Gra-Y are: Ralph Entrekin, President; William Crawford, Vice-President; Ira Smith, Secretary; Jack Forbes, Treasurer; Harry Simmons, Reporter; James Mento, Sergeant-at-Arms. The class has been active in athletics; having organized a team of football in the Fall, and then a basketball team; and now a baseball team. They have made rapid strides in the gymnastic lines, and can very ably conduct a class in Health Exercises. The boys and girls have been interested in the School Savings and many of them have a neat bank account. They are fond of the drawing periods and have shown rare artistic ability in many of their drawings. The boys and girls have been attentive, industrious and courteous throughout the term and success will surely follow them in High School. For i -one CHEER LEADERS Hurtt. Bentley, Amway. Diffenderfer.

The meetings are held bi-weekly in the High School Auditorium and every member must take part in one or more programs at some time or other, during his four years in High School. The President is chosen from the Senior Class and the Secretary Vice-President from the Junior Class. Often the programs are in celebration of holidays. Extemporaneous speaking is sometimes introduced into the programs and much fun is had by all while much is accomplished, especially on literary and musical lines. This year Donald Dixon is President, David Heilig is Vice-President, and Amelia Mahan is the Secretary. John Heffner is the Faculty Adviser. With the cooperation of the townspeople and the student body, these meetings are destined to become more and more popular and interesting. Let us all do our best to keep it from becoming a dry ordeal that must be lived through,” and surely this idea will come if you do not look at it from a different angle. Make the Literary Society as Friendly and Enjoyable as the Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and other organizations by coming to the meetings with the idea of enjoying every minute of it and getting the most you can from what is said. Are you willing to try? We Are!

Each year the Club elects new officers. The officers this year being, Walter Fisher, president; Amy Murray, vice-president; Jack Pannebaker, secretary, and Florence McConaghy, treasurer. The purpose of the Commercial Club is to acquaint the students of the High School with the ways of the business world which they are about to enter. Many plays are given by the students showing how the business of the world is carried on, and many other things are done which help the student to realize just what is ahead of him when he is through school.

Miller, then County Secretary of the Coatesville Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bolger his successor to that office has continued the good work. The Hi-Y is an organization open to all upper-classmen regardless of their record who will strive henceforth to “create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character.” The slogan is “Clean sports. Clean speech. Clean scholarship, Clean living. ” The club has fostered a Gra-Y Club in the Grammar Grades. This Club has prospered under the leadership of David Heilig. Our program has been greatly enriched by the reception of many new members. Delegations have been sent regularly to the several conferences and conventions. The delegates bring back word of other clubs and how they are conducted. New ideas are brought back for the betterment of the club. The furtherment of its ideals is an effort always appreciated by the club. Blaine Harkness.

This organization is a branch of the Y. W. C. A., just as the hoys’ Hi-Y Club is a branch of the Y. M. C. A. The Downingtown High School Girl Reserve Club was organized by Miss Mary Garland of the Coatesvdle Y. V. C. A., in 1926. Our club bears the distinction of being the second Girl Reserve Club organized in Chester County. The first Girl Reserve Club in Downingtown was composed of girls from the Classes of ’27 and '28. Since then the girls of the following classes have tried to uphold the standard set by the charter memliers. In 1927 the Freshmen and Sophomores united and organized a separate Club from that of the Juniors and Seniors. This year only girls from the three upper classes were permitted to join the Girl Reserve Club thus excluding Freshmen. The aim of our Girl Reserve Club is “2 H O”—to help others. Each year the club distributes Christmas baskets to needy families. In the spring it has been the custom of the club to sponsor a Mother and Daughter Banquet. These have always proved successful. Each year there are many new girls enter our club. This year there are fifty (50) members. With such a large membership it is expected that the organization will accomplish more than it has ever been able to accomplish before. Alice O.

That year it was very successful but was very small and struggled hard for its existence, since then it has increased gradually in size as well as in talent until we find it, at the present time, on equal match with the orchestras of the other schools. Each year a great number of talented as well as experienced players are lost, but there are always new members coming in and they soon get the idea ol group playing and cooperation, so that the orchestra if it changes at all, changes for the better. The Orchestra is often called upon to aid in High School dramatics or scholastic functions. The Orchestra in the Grammar Grades has been practicing with the High School Orchestra on Tuesday’s and Friday’s so that the material lost by graduation will be replaced by the present Grammar Grade Orchestra and no time will be lost in getting started with the regular Orchestra work. Last year the orchestra won first prize at the Play Festival in West Chester and they are looking forward with high hopes toward this year’s concert. It is the duty of every high school student, who can play a musical instrument to join the High School Orchestra. Forty-eight THE BRASS QUARTETTE THE Brass Quartette was started in December, 1929. They have progressed rapidly in the short time they have been organized, and have played in the Literary meetings, for Chapel, for the Rotarians, and many other gatherings. They are getting along fine under the capable leadership of Miss Ruth Shumway. The members are: James Mahan, Joseph Sciarretta, Theodore Dowlin, Parke Moore.

The band is becoming more in demand as during the past season it fdled many engagements, such as carnivals and festivals and other affairs. This money that was earned was used for the paying of the uniforms and the purchase of several new instruments. The band at the present time is free of debt and the money now earned is added to the treasury. The Blue and Gold Band takes this opportunity to thank all who assisted in conveying the band to its various engagements. The spirit of the High School Football Team was raised considerable when the band turned out for each game. It paraded from the East Ward School before each game contested on the home field. Several new members have been added to this worthy organization. Downingtown no longer parades to the music furnished by other high school bands, while visiting other gridirons. That is far in the past. Let us stand for this noble enterprize and boost wherever we can. The band was the guest of the Football Team at their annual banquet at the Methodist Church during the month of December, 1929, which was greatly enjoyed by all present.

The most interesting and colorful game was drawing slowly to a close with the Papertown Warriors ahead 14 to 7. It was Downingtown’s ball. The teams lined up; the center snapped the ball back to Chick” Horning. Was it an end run? No, a short forward pass. The ball speedily shot through the air and was near its goal when suddenly the arms of an end of Coatesville’s team were thrust into the clear sky to intercept the pass and run for a touch down and the extra point was made tying the score. This game was the last home game for seven of the Paper-town’s Warriors and what a wonderful fight they put up for their closing game for D. H. S. FOOTBALL RESULTS I). H. S................... 6 O. H.

Clubs, sticks, and balls were provided and under the capable direction of Miss Ida Lillard the girls practiced almost every night until the weather became too cold for outdoor practice. The Park Committee has been kind enough to allow the High School to use its field. This spring another field will probably be prepared for the girls’ use. Jane Walton.

Sit down, you’re rocking the boat.” Louise V. Tassel—“Why are you wearing so many coats on such a hot day? Lulu Habecker— I’m going to paint the fence and it says to obtain best results put on three coats. ” It seems that one of the employees of Henry Ford dreamed that Henry died. He dreamed that he saw the black casket being borne by six of Henry’s oldest and most faithful employees. As the casket came along, Henry raised up, looked around and offered the following suggestion : “If you would put rollers under this casket you could lay off five men. ” Margaret Underwood—“ Say, I ha ven’t seen you with the boy friend lately.

You can always tell a Sophomore by the way he’s gowned You can always tell a Junior by little things and such You can always tell a Senior but you can’t tell him much. Northerner— Pretty mild winter you have down here. ” Southerner—“Mild! Do you call two feet of snow mild?” Northerner—“Mild?
