Page Four Miss Marian Vinton Philips Page Five FOREWORD As the wheels of time rapidly whirl, it falls to our lot to publish an Annual and give to our friends and patrons an idea of the progress of our school during another year. We, the Class of 1933, have seriously undertaken this proposition, and have tried to raise the standard and produce a book which is an asset to our dear old Alma Mater.

Page Twenty-nine THE CUCKOO 32 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When the official count was taken on the memorable “ first-day ” in September, 1928, Mr. Heffner found approximately seventy-five newcomers in the Freshman Class. These past four years have carried us through our high school days and today we stand upon the threshold of our graduation. Our Freshman year held no incidents of unusual interest except the Freshman Reception, which proved exciting for the newcomers only, as they proved to be the only recipients of free hair-cuts. Our Sophomore year began with the election of officers. The class chose: Earl Entrekin, President; George Stine, Vice-President: Isabel Wray, Secretary, and Alice Dennis, Treasurer. Class colors of Old Rose and Grey were chosen, and the motto, “ Toil Conquers All Things,” was decided upon as the one to lead us to higher and better things. This year we won $25 in a popularity contest at Hutchison’s Drug Store. In February of 1930 our class attempted its first party, which proved to be a financial as well as a social success. The number in the class of ’32 was increased at the beginning of the Junior year by the entrance of the students from the rural districts. The class election this year resulted as follows: President, George Stine: Vice-President. Earl Entrekin; Secretary, Isabel Wray, and Treasurer, Alice Dennis. The high spots of this year were the “doggie roast” at the Upper Dam. a dance held in January of 1931, and the Junior and Senior Reception. About a month before Christmas, our class chose their rings. We were all well pleased with our choice of yellow gold and black onyx, as they proved to be the most attractive rings ever purchased by a Senior class. In September. 1931, approximately 70 Seniors entered the grave portals of learning to complete their high school courses. Class officers elected were: President, Charles Elston; Vice-President, Thomas Brookover; Secretary, Mary Jane Hutchison: Treasurer, Alice Dennis. The paramount thought of this year was the trip to Washington and how to get the money for the trip. The class held a very successful bake at the beginning of the year which helped to increase the amount in our treasury. Two very successful dances followed in the line of events. On April 5, 1932, the Senior play, “ The Family Upstairs,” was presented in the Roosevelt Theater, and proved to be a tremendous success, both from a social and economic view. Much credit for its success was due to the untiring efforts of the coach, Mrs. F. Hoffman. The Class of ’32 contributed much toward the athletic success of the school. The entire girls’ basketball team in the 1931-1932 season was composed of Senior girls. The Seniors of this year all feel greatly elevated after the inspiring talk heard at the Alumni Banquet, at which they were welcomed into the association. After all, the four years have been aimed at one goal—graduation. Class Day and Commencement will soon be but memories to us. Our one desire is to prove as successful and admirable as other Seniors who have gone from D. H. S. before us. Helen McLain, '32. Page Thirty THE CUCKOO '32 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Junior Cass entered the High School in the autumn of 1929 with a roll of about eighty pupils. Being Freshmen, we were not allowed to have class officers, but we did elect Park Moore chairman. The year passed uneventfully, except for the Freshman Reception. The class was organized during the Sophomore year with the election of the following officers: President, Parke Moore; Vice-President, Joe Sciarretta; Secretary, Robert Ash; Treasurer, Marie Yeager. In April we gave our first class party, which was a great success, although everyone predicted it would be a failure. 'Phis year our number has been increased considerably. Our class elected the following officers: President, Parke Moore; Vice-President, Joe Sciarretta; Secretary, Dorothy Brookover. We began the year by giving a “ Doggie Roast. In December we received our rings, and are certainly proud of them. Last, but not least, was our class party, which everyone enjoyed immensely. Many of our members have taken part in the different sports. Practically half of the varsity football men were Juniors, and many also were on the basketball and baseball teams. We are eagerly looking forward to our Senior year, when we hope to be a credit to I). H. S. Pnae Thirty-one THE CUCKOO '32 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY President—Ralph Entrekin Secretary—Mildred Deputy Vice-President—David Ross Treasurer—Carmen Travaglini The gates of learning opened momentarily to admit into its number a group of 75 boys and girls. We received the proper initiation at a Freshman reception held in our honor. Each individual succeeded in his own way, and we slowly progressed along educational lines. As Freshmen, we were not able to organize, and so had no class officers. We finally reached the second step in our progress, that of being Sophomores. We organized and elected class officers. We did our bit this year in initiating the F'resh-men, and instead of receiving the well-meant jokes, we gave them. The first social event of our high school career which we were permitted to sponsor was a Sophomore Dance. It turned out to be a great success. Education is in the form of a boomerang; the harder it is thrown, the harder it comes back. This is only too true and tori little realized. The more effort and interest we invest in our learning, the more and better are the results that come back to us. We can receive no more from education than we put into it. In the Sophomore class we received the benefit of a new and instructive feature, that of clubs. Their range is wide and varied. They include everything from Latin to Domestic Art. The Sophomores have also shown their ability at dramatic work and have proved themselves to be a contributing factor to the assembly programs. The only adverse condition which exists in our second year at high school is the compulsory examinations, and they daunt the spirits of the bravest. Despite all difficulties and hazards that have obstructed our path, we believe we are well on our way to the great day when we shall graduate as Seniors and honor students of the Downingtown High School. Sylvia Weinberg. Page Thirty-two THE CUCKOO ’32 FRESHMAN CI.ASS HISTORY The Freshman Class entered high school with approximately ninety in the class. The Freshman Reception was held on Saturday evening, September 16. At this reception we were properly initiated by the Sophomores. We were placed under the guidance of Miss Bentley and Mr. Reist. We have had a fair representation in school athletics and in the club activities of the school. Several members of our class entertained the assembly with a play and some musical numbers during a regular chapel period. We believe that our class will develop into a class as respected and praiseworthy as the present Senior Class. Elizabeth Fitzgerald.

The boys and girls are much interested in athletics and club activities, and several show rare musical ability. The boys have an organized basketball team, which lost but one game during the season. The girls also have a basketball team. Many of the boys are active in the Gra-Y Club, and have a Guitar Club which lends much pleasure to the student body. We feel sure the high school will welcome them in the fall of 1932. Page Thirty-four THE CUCKOO '32 k' ■+'t iv}A•VL ' '• • '■ '•’ • :• • ; cX• % %-a? ■■ ; V; £ £ • V v- • • t- • •:;. v ••;. ■-■ .

The purpose of the Press Club is to furnish those interested in journalism or those having journalistic talent with an outlet for their writing. Although the Press Club is a small one, its value is great, and its position in the High School will grow with its size and importance. Lillian Bareford.

We meet every Tuesday at 3:15 o’clock. Each year the club elects new officers. At the meeting in January we decided to change the name of our club to “ Neophyte Busineers.” 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. On February 24, 1932, the members of the Commercial Club entertained the assembly by giving a play entitled “ Not to the Swift.” The characters that took part are as follows: James Wilmont, the boss.................................................Francis Fennelly William Stead, first assistant............................................Paul Hannam James Burton, second assistant...............................................David Ross Grace Foster, stenographer; a flapper, strictly up-to-date, speed is her motto, Jessie Yadine Mary Blake, stenographer; slow, but willing to learn......................Marie Yeager Bill, the office boy.......................................................John Moyer Brown, the typewriter repairman............................................Duer Smedley Page Thirty-eight THE CUCKOO '32 HI-Y CLUB President—Mike Mento Secretary—Horace Hutchison Vice-President—Earl Entrekin Treasurer—Thomas Brookover In the early part of October, 1931, Mr. W. K. Cooper, of the Coatesville Y. M. C. A., met with a group of boys of the Junior and Senior classes and started the Hi- Club in the High School. There are twenty charter members in the club. After organizing this club and obtaining a charter from the state we also admitted some Sophomores into the club. During the winter the Hi-Y Club played several basketball games with other clubs of the county. The club gave a party to the Girl Reserves; sponsored a Father and Son Banquet; and organized a Gra-Y Club in the grades. The Downingtown High School Hi-Y Club is the only county HiA Club rated as one of the twenty-five best in the state. The rating is done by the State Department. The club is planning to hold a farewell party to the Seniors in the latter part of May. Leland Maclntire has been elected president for the 1932-33 term. This club was sponsored by Mr. Glen Clark.

A constitution was drawn and written in F'rench at the first meeting. The following aims were decided upon: 1. To speak French entirely. 2. To further the students’ knowledge of the French habits and customs. 3. To appreciate French authors and poets.

Elston The Mathematics Club is a new feature in Downingtown High School club activities. Under the able guidance of Mr. Reist the boy lovers of mathematics have been able to enjoy special guidance and information on the details of several mathematical “ kinks ” which cannot be obtained in the classroom. The most valuable accomplishment of the Mathematics Club this year has been the study of the slide rule. Mr. Reist skillfully instructed the boys in its manipulation, which has been a great help in our classroom work. The various members of the club have made a special study of the life of Charles Stemmety and Archimedes, whom we have placed as heroes in the field of mathematics. A special study was also made of the straight line, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. A few fundamentals of Calculus were also discussed. The activities of the club in general have been extremely educational as well as recreational. Though the club is in its infancy, it has met with fair success. Its future success depends upon the support of the boys, whom we hope will want to enjoy its valuable benefits. C. W. Elston.

W. C. A. to be organized in Chester County. Our club was organized by Miss Mary Garland in 1926. “ 2 H O ”—to help others, is the aim of a Girls' Reserve. Every year, to accomplish this aim, the club distributes Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets to the poor families in Downingtown. Our symbol is the blue triangle, which signifies the threefold life, an uprightness of body, mind, and spirit. The Girls' Reserve Club is composed of thirty-six members. This year only girls from the two upper classes are permitted to enter. A study of the Bible in connection with our everyday problems was sponsored among the girls of the High School by the club. An annual Mother and Daughter Banquet is given to establish closer relationshiDs and better understanding between girls and their mothers. The purpose of the Girls' Reserve Club is to form a medium in which “ girls can meet in bonds of friendship true.” Page Forty-seven THE CUCKOO '32 ATHLETIC CLUB President—Morris Yohn Vice-President—Leland MacIntyre Secretary—George Peck The Athletic Club was organized this year under the direction of Mr. MacAlpine and Mr. Tweed. Meetings were held every Tuesday afternoon. This club proved to be very popular with the boys and was made up entirely of boys interested in athletics and athletes. The discussions of the group covered leading athletes of the day and unusual athletic achievements. The Olympics proved an interesting subject for discussion and study, as did the Penn Relays. The club planned to have a track team, and scheduled track meets with neighboring schools. This schedule was successfully carried out. This club proved of great benefit to the boys, for it helped them to see how much good there is in athletics, and it aroused their interest in other phases of athletics beside competitive games. The discussion groups were sometimes led by the students themselves, and they were conducted in a strictly informal way, so that the most possible good might be derived from them. The principles and doctrines of good sportsmanship were studied, and every member of the club resolved to maintain high standards of sportsmanship. Many members of the Athletic Club journeyed to Philadelphia to both see and take part in the Penn Relays. Health, in its relation to athletics and to life, was considered and suggestions were made to the members as to how to improve and protect their health. The Athletic Club fulfilled its duties as such in an excellent manner, and will undoubtedly be greeted with much enthusiasm again next year. Page Forty-eight THE CUCKOO ’32 DRAMATIC CLUB President—Jack Lamping Secretary—Mildred Deputy Vice-President—Lillian Bareford Treasurer—Gilbert Englerth The development of the drama in Downingtown High School has been an evolution of directed expression. Technical organization has been adopted with the advent of the Dramatic Club to collect all talent for writing, acting and staging. Student direction now shapes the drama with the advice of Mrs. H. U. Hoffman. Periodic club meetings convene each week for the purpose of better appreciating the drama. Short skits, recitations, etc., are given. This club serves the recreational needs of the students, while giving enjoyment to the student body on assembly programs. During the last school year numerous sketches and playlets have been rendered. The object of the club is purely to give a cultural appreciation of art in an expressed form. The future success of the organization will depend upon a continued like for this expression.

The third, fourth and fifth grade violin class of twenty-five boys and girls began this year for the first time, and the eighth grade violin class began last year. The Junior Orchestra, Boys’ S. A. B. Chorus and Girls’ S. S. A. Chorus in the Junior High have made rapid strides this year, the Boys’ Chorus being a new project this year. Both choruses took part in the Chester County Choral Festival, and are very enthusiastic to go next year. Several members of the Junior Orchestra will take part in the Orchestra Festival as well. East Ward was very fortunate in securing a radio this year. The proceeds from last Spring’s operetta, “ The Stolen Flower Queen,” purchased the radio. Much sincere appreciation of good music has been obtained through the Damrosch Concerts. Opera has been a special study in the grammar grades, and a great deal of enthusiasm for this type of good music has been shown. The Symphony Orchestra and its instruments was another project worked out. Good Music Week will be observed again this year by Grade Demonstrations and Song Contests, Junior Glee Clubs, etc., and a Band Concert, the band being equipped with new uniforms for the occasion. 4 Page Fifty-one THE CUCKOO '32 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The music organizations of the High School include Girls’ Glee Club and Senior Orchestra. A radio was purchased for the High School by the music department. The High School music classes have derived much benefit from the Damrosch Concerts each Friday morning. Opera has been a special study in all music classes, and five were heard this season at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, given by the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company. Those heard were: “ Madame Butterfly,” “ Tosca,” “ Lohengrin,” “ Faust,” and “ Carmen.” The members of the Glee Club took part in the Chester County Choral Festival.
