The; beneficial results of this proverb, we believe, were evidenced by our work last year when the fruits of our efforts were shown in the many public appearances. From the time we entered Girard until our Senior-one year we heard the seniors giving speeches. We were reaping and they were sowing. When the Dramatic Club presented Dr. Jekyll and, Mr. Hyde, Peter Wambach did a good job as a little boy. He was our sole representative and we were proud of him. At Christmas time the Dramatic Club presented before the High School assembly Harry Kemp’s Don Juab’s Christmas Eve in which Bradford Swonetz portrayed the part of Alamandos. The play was admirably presented, and we were once again represented in Girard Dramatics. During our lower Senior semester our class; was represented by John Guarini, Elmer Bryan, Terrence McLaughlin, and Robert Q. Jones in a debate against the Junior-two class. It was well done, and we were proud of them for the manner in which they upheld the standards of our class. When Memorial Day appeared, John Guarini, the only Captain our class could claim at that time, delivered a poem, as part of the services. In last year’s annual group of spring plays we were again represented. You will never forget the excellent presentation of Justice Credulous by Harvey Mel- son in The Scheming Lieut want. A new standard of achievement was reached in this play. We must not forget to mention Howard Shultz who portrayed the part of an Indian and Jack Shiner that of a soldier in The Little Father of the Wilderness. With our determination to set higher standards we started our Friday morning speeches at the outset of our upper Senior term. There was a wide variety. Some of them were Edward Holmes and William Davis on The Citizen’s Military Training Camp, John Bullock on Johnny Weissmueller , Silvio Pastore on Experi¬ ences in a Bakery, David K. Burkhart on West Point, Norman R. Betz, on Working at w Unemployment Relief Station, Robert Q. Jones on The Ice Business, Matthew Spinelli on A Summer Experience, and Charles E. Kistler on Alexander Dumas. December brought the Annual Original Declamation Contest in which we were well represented by four contestants. An Appreciation of Art, Charles Godfrey’s declamation, received the second prize. This was an account of his ambitions. It was a natural topic characteristic of its writer. William McLaughlin won the third award with the declamation entitled The Career of Journalism. It was given with feeling and enthusiasm that made the speaker’s interest in his subject a certainty. . David K. Burkhart was our third contestant. His interpretation of Henry Ford as a man was excellently given. 4 Looking Backward Our final speaker, Harvey Melson, gave an lucid interpretation of his ex¬ periences on his uncle’s farm. In last year’s annual Christmas play we were again well represented. Har¬ vey Melson portrayed the part of Baron Advich and Bradford G. Swonetz the role of The Devil. With the opening of the New Year, Edward Holmes gave Parting of the Ways, and Bradford G. Swonetz recited a poem entitled New Year’s Poem. Our class delivered twelve Sunday evening reports on the history, people, and geography of Palestine. These were given by Rexford E. Tompkins, Robert L. Morrison, Terrence McLaughlin, Elmer Bryan, Emmeth M. Land, Robert Q. Jones, Howard R. W. Shultz, David K. Burkhart, Robert E. Spatzer, Charles F. Gabel, William E. Solomon, and Matthew A. Spinelli in a praiseworthy manner. The climax to our stay at Girard has now come to us, and we must show our best. It has been agreed that David K. Burkhart, our Valedictorian, Rex¬ ford E. Tompkins, our Salutatorian, and Charles Godfrey, our Qass Speaker, shall make speeches at Commencement. Athletics I WONDER if our accomplishments are not most worthy in the esthetic fields? They are, but we didn’t exactly scintillate in sports. Ours have been athletics of a quality which one may be proud. The honors of quantity in this regard must go to others. We were first represented when Elmer Bryan and Robert Thomas won their letters in swimming and basketball respectively in the spring of 1931. Inciden¬ tally, they have both broken records since then. In the breast-stroke event, Bryan bettered the old record by a good two seconds. Robert Thomas, as a basketball player, recently broke not only the College record, but the interscholastic record for individual scoring in a single game when he registered 36 points against Ger¬ mantown Academy and shattered the existing record of 32. At the same time in the spring of 1931, William McLaughlin earned his numerals in gym, and Spatzer and Downey were awarded their numerals in swimming. In the baseball season of that year, Robert Thomas was the only classmate given a “G,” but J. Thomas, Downey, Wilson, Allen, and Carroll were all on the squad. Our sole representative on the track team was Joseph Bove, a sprinter. On the 1931 soccer team we placed two men: Robert Thomas and George Downey; but Land, Jones, Carroll, and Burkhart all received numerals. Then January , 1933 5 came greater success during the basketball season. We had three letter men in Captain Thomas, Land, and Burkhart. Hippie’s work merited numerals. At the same time, a couple of our classmates were helping the swimming team with its meets. Bryan and Spatzer were made letter men, while Davis, Tompkins, and Shiner received the insignia of their class. The nucleus of the teams of 1932 was formed with members of our class. Seven members of the baseball team were: Betz, Burkhart, Wilson, Server, R. Thomas, J. Thomas, and Allen who captained the team. In track, Bove, Melson, and Wedekemper were regulars, and Holmes won his numerals. Twelve of our men helped Girard through the undefeated soccer season of the past y ear. They were: Betz, Burkhart, Carroll, Downey, Foor, Jones, Kings- more, Land, Bove, Pastore, Server, and R. Thomas, the captain, with Kelly, the playing manager. Able reserves were found in Hippie, Spatzer, Schiavo, and Guarini. On this last year’s swimming team, managed by Specht, we had Shiner, Tompkins, and Captain Bryan. We regret to say that this book went to press before the basketball season closed, but our class helped the team greatly. Not counting basketball of this year, we had two three-letter men in Robert Thomas and Burkhart; but in all probability we shall have five three-letter winners when the basketball season is over, not to mention our many two-letter men. We haven’t broken many of the College records in athletics, but we have helped to win credit for dear old Girard. To the oncoming classes, we wish all the success possible in their athletic activities. D. K. B. Scripts and Scribes O UTSIDERS have a way of judging a school by the various publications it issues. Although oftentimes unfair and misleading the standard of a class is usually reflected in the quality of its literary and journalistic ma¬ terial. Being mindful of this, students are continually trying to produce some¬ thing just a little better than their predecessors have done. It is the pleasure of each class to do its part; we took up the work with such an idea in mind. The Girard Magazine was left with us as a splendid production equal to the magazine of most high schools. However, a really good periodical should be more than a current enjoyment. We wished to give the boys of the College something worthy of a place on their table of favorite books. 6 Looking Backward To have lost the good reputation already made for the Magazine by previous classes would have been embarrassing, and it is only natural for us to feel that our most important accomplishment was the maintenance of the model writ¬ ing with which all are familiar. We sought to do two additional things: to im¬ prove the composition in color and to introduce something new that would make the Magazine a greater example of student participation. We cannot judge our success in the first attempt, but hope we have fulfilled the second by eliminating the old stock cut from the cover. Charles J. Godfrey drew the first original cover design and opened a new means for artistic expres¬ sion. Not wishing to stop at this point, the Staff established an index and changed the set-up of poetry contributions to small type. Dr. Stewart gave the Staff his helpful cooperation and constructive criticism in every development; he merits the thanks of the whole school as well as that of the class. Edson J. Shannon, Editor-in-Chief, Peter Wambach, President of the Liter¬ ary Club, and John F. Specht, have labored chiefly in issuing the Magazine. They hope it goes to the next class an improved work. Problems are bound to arise in all school activities, but in spite of these, members of the Girard News Staff were continually on the alert and always ready to give their best to overcoming the difficulties they encountered. Rexford E. Tompkins deserves an unstinted share of commendation for his devotion to the betterment of the paper. For the first time in Girard College a straw vote was taken on the Presidential election. The returns from the games were always correct and unprejudiced during David K. Burkhart’s term as Sports Editor. As third member of the trio, Noman K. Betz, News Editor, created a new interest lin his columns and gave his readers as good an account of the happenings at the! Col¬ lege as is possible in a fortnight edition. With Professor Foust’s fine help and cooperation their work as a whole created much interest on the day of its issue. Our journalists were not confined entirely to the high school editions. As the alumni still have the concerns of their Alma Mater at heart, John A. Guarini and Charles J. Godfrey took over the positions as correspondents for Steel and Garnet and greatly enhanced its attractiveness both to the old grads and the students. Finally, the Commencement Record has been compiled to show in more de¬ tail what we as a class have tried to do at Girard. May the Key of Responsibility which we pass to others turn even more easily in a well-oiled lock. We extend to them our sincerest wishes for success. Charles J. Godfrey, Editor-in-Chief, and his associates, Edson J. Shannon, Rexford E. Tompkins, David K. Burkhart, John F. Specht, and Norman Betz, have, however, tried to leave behind a class magazine which will survive as a record of our attainments at Girard College long after our departure. Success may come to those who wait but to those who endeavor will cornel every joy that has been ours as Seniors and leaders of the school’s publications. January, 1933 7 Orpheus Speaks P ICTURE to yourself an immense stretch of beach gliding down to the ocean’s ed e from the dark jungle. The—long ago. An insignificant savage lolls on the yellow sand drawn to the sea much as thousands are today. He toys with an inverted turtle shell fitted with crude strings and cocks an attentive ear to the ancient forerunner of “A”. Even as the “twang” mingles with the ocean’s roar, the weird piping of a reed issues from the jungle and the beat of a tom-tom rises on the salty air. As the rhythm grows in volume, voices of swaying men join in a mighty chant. Orpheus is at his work. Behind our worthy ancestors marches a long chain of years. The Girard Band swings up the road, the same spirit alive in the lilt of the march. The ghost of that early piper hovers over a select group of those who havd inherited his own particular aptitude. If we must descend to the material, David Burkhart, Captain and Solo Cornetist and his followers, John Daniels, First Lieutenant and, Clarinetist, Edward Holmes carrying the Euphonium and Charles Gable, Solo Cornetist and Second Lieutenants march in the van of the long-dead musician. He takes note of Robert Leh, Solo Clarinetist and Supply Sergeant, and acknowl¬ edges the homage of John McCullough, Robert Morrison and Joseph Bove, who resigned from the Band in Senior-One to pursue other activities. Despite his age the old savage’s step is firm and quicker than ever as he keeps time and ' marches along amid the smiles and praises of young and old. But enough—the Band has passed away in the distance and the spirit of the Harp presides. He recalls to us our acquaintance who played with the turtle, shell on that lonely beach. Is it the tom-tom alive again? No! the throb of the drum is much as before, carrying the rhythm as ever, but under the hands of our genial President, Emmeth Land, student conductor and player of the drum and| traps. The eye of the Spirit rests on Harry Hippie, assistant leader and first vi¬ olinist. As the chord of music rises, William Davis, Frederick Seaborne, and Bradford Swonetz weave the background with clarinet, horn, and bass sections. Our Spirits are many, but perhaps they are not alone in their guidance. The large ro om is in darkness except for the path of moonlight that glides through the open glass doors letting in the scented garden air. The beams light up the features of a blind pianist whose fingers wander lightly over the ivory keys of his instrument. Strange and wonderful is his music; but alas! he is deaf to it. His compositions have been preserved for posterity, and Charles Kistler is the one rep¬ resentative of the class. But the stay of our visitors is for a short time only. They must hasten away. They pause to call the role of those who have followed the chant. The oldest spirit steps forward and reads the list unfalteringly: David Burkhart, President, John Thomas, Vice-President, Robert Thomas, Secretary, Wallis Allen, Librarian. He reaches the tenor section: Detweiler, Gabel, Kistler, Poole, Spat- z.er, Spinelli, Wambach, Blakeman, and Hippie. Then down through the bass: Looking Backward Bullock, McCullough, Schiavo, Server, Bove, Bryan, Davis, Kingsmore, Land, Melson, Shiner, Solomon, Wedekemper, and Wood. It is done. The beach is calling the ghosts back. Ere they go, however, they pay their respects to Messrs. Frey, Carey, Banks, Cullen, and Pfouts whilte the class look on with approval and appreciation. The land of the beach and jungle is now dark, and pan-like music steals silently out over the starlit waters as Orpheus woos the waves. Soldier, Miner and Politician T HE tourist trade would not be so profitable if travel were not enticing. We Girardians have known this enticement. In June of 1931 we were faithfully guided to the various points of interest at Valley Forge: the Chapel, the carillons, and the museum. But it was when we were left alone that we got so much out of our stay there by just wandering through the nearby woods or clambering over grass-clad trenches. Despite the softening effect of the time, the surroundings still reveal pictures of American struggles for liberty. We realize then why this place has become enshrined in the hearts of our countrymen. Can any boy look at those front line trenches and not picture the scene of America’s early struggle ? Shenandoah—means ascending rickety flights of black wooden stairs and gazing down on the work-a-day life of a breaker. Here breaks the noise of shifting screens and sliding coal which left us with a confused notion of the min¬ ing industry, but the cool quiet of the underground was different. No explorer could ask for more than to be drawn from the depths by a steel thread, like one resurrected and transported to the green valleys of Shenandoah. As the last act to a glorious pageant our trips culminated in the Capitol City. With apologies to Henry Van Dyke one might say, “Oh, Washington is a man’s town; there’s power in the air.” But such a feeling does not spring wholly frohi an impression of vast riches and resources. It rises from the knowledge that here is the symbol of what the shabby men of Valley Forge died to create. It is the symbol of what courageous miners, laborers, builders, craftsmen, teachers, and artists have sought to maintain. It is the duty of every citizen to know how his government is run. We departed from Washington feeling that our stay there had not been unprofitable. For some of us these brief visits have been the opening wedge to a life of travel. On the other hand many of our number will lead a sedentary existence.. But when the years have passed and we meet once more, not one of us will have forgotten our three trips together. January, 1933 9 We Danced — E WERE first aware of it as if in the dark but, paradoxically, we were long in the dark about it. Spring found us—well, we averaged sixteen! We found spring and held it tethered for one short evening. There were daffodils; there were roses. Per¬ haps the verdance was imitation and the color unreal—we could not reproduce the flush of enjoyment that we secretly noticed on certain faces. We even forgot rhat music was being rendered so that we might step out: one, and two, and thi ee, and four! In the pleasant atmosphere there throbbed something of which we could not have our fill. We were happy. At the opening of the Christmas season we tried no such transition. We shut out the cold and crowded the hall to overflowing—with what must have been the Christmas spirit. Let us say that the decorations were but a means to an end which, we feel sure, we did achieve. We were, by this time, sold on this social idea and we carry the Christmas affair among our brightest memories. Again a curtain was drawn; again we found spring. It was apple blossom time. The soft glow of light, the delicacy of color—they lived, glowed, and breathed into our hearts a serene sort of joy. In this, our third success, we reached a climax. We found the decorations a logical topic for conversation— there was plenty of it. The feeling that we entertained for a time made us al¬ most ashamed—why, we were softening! Perhaps, after the manner of a senior, we made a last, flippant thrust at) decoration. Originality was what we termed it, and we were proud. The color¬ ful simplicity of the whole scheme attracted us. We danced in a world apart— beneath clothes-lines. The informality of the line, the careful disregard of color choice made us feel—shall I say “homely”? The tumble-down shanty has a place in our memory and, (may I quote the Girard News?) “at our dance it rained punch. In the playful spirit of the thing we dipped our drinks, from a rain barrel. We were no longer in the dark ; but alas! to all good things must come an end. The materialist in us rises as we make acknowledgement to Miss Smythe, Dr. Stewart, and Mr. Gares, without whose help—that’s trite yet we are very grate¬ ful. Remember, you Juniors who wish to start off right—their hats are in the ring! 10 Looking Backward “Sound Off ” ‘‘ ATTENNSHUN ! Eyes to the front, head up, chest out, chin in, and keep your AA hands at your sides. Yes, you!” We staggered and resigned ourselves to the life of a recruit. The ensuing months brought much discomfort, and we emerged with a knowledge of how to whisper without moving the lips, but withal—a soldier. Some of us were naturally ambitious, yet it was the harassed life of a recruit that climaxed our resolution to become an officer some day. The first to receive this honor was John Guarini, Captain of Company B in his Senior-One term. He proved himself a good soldier and an efficient officer and became Senior Captain and Captain of Company A in Senior-Two. Till their Senior-One term, he was assisted by four sergeant classmates: Charles Pool (Supplies), Charles Gould, James Wood, and William Wilson. Although John left a gap in Company B not easily filled, Elmer Bryan icon- ducted the work admirably in his last term with Jack Specht serving as his First Lieutenant. Harvey Melson was a Lieutenant in S-l, and Anthony Schiavo held the position of Supply Sergeant here at the same time. Lest the necessary business of listing the various company officers grow monotonous, now is the time to interpose the Staff. Little did they think four years ago that theirs would be the duty of drilling recruits and forming the parade. But Fate has his way. Rexford Tompkins was made Captain; Claude Commo, Adjutant; Robert Spatzer, Quartermaster; Charles Wedekemper, First Lieutenant; George Carroll, Sergeant Major; Howard Shultz, Battalion Sup¬ ply Sergeant; and William Server, SJergeant of the Staff. But to our companies again. Herbert Nagel captained Company C, and Jack Shiner was his First Lieutenant. Six sergeants came from our class in the persons of Dawson, Godfrey, McAnally, Morris, Wambach, and Worman. In Company D, William McLaughlin was Captain, Robert Jones, First Lieutenant, while Silvio Pastore was Supply Sergeant, and Caron and Betz Sergeants during their S-l term. No matter what one’s position, if he does his work better than the rest, the world will notice him. The proverbial mouse trap is ever before us. In June 1931, Private Joseph Kingsmore, took second honors in the Individual Com¬ petitive Drill. Our Battalion days are over and the last parade has been formed. March¬ ing past in review, we trust that General Brookfield, the Commandant, will realize that our “eyes right” embodies our appreciation of a better standard of military performance. After all it is the future to which we look, and it is pardonable to think of the Battalion as we shall watch it drill many years from now. Yes, it is fine; the movements are clean-cut and snappy. But look, a few are shaking their heads solemnly, and gravely voicing their opinions. “Well, good enough, we must say. But when WE were here—” It is to be expected.

We should like to pass on to our readers something of the Girard atmosphere. Although many limitations cut down the writing space of this publication, we hope that it is not merely a catalog but rather something which will convey the reader over distance and set him down among those ivy-covered walls where he may become a part of the spirit of Girard College. June ig33 3 Then- 4 Through the Years “High in the ivy-covered tower The chapel chimes pealed forth the hour’ June 1933 5 t) EDITORIAL M The Old and the New T hese last nine years which cover our stay at the College will long be re¬ membered for the great number of changes which have taken place in both the life of the boys and the physical make-up of the institution Since no other class has seen our school go through so great a period of transition, it is quite fitting that we devote at least a little space to one of the many im¬ portant developments. A new chapel now stands where the old one for so many years saw service. The passing of this revered structure was not without regret. However, human nature is that way ; we mourn that which must go to give way for something better. Yes, the old chapel meant very much to us, and always will, but now we have something which transcends the beauty of the old, something which borders on the magnificent. Such an investment as the new chapel should bring an excellent return in the way of character development. It should teach the students more of the reverence and respect they owe to the Almighty, and it should teach them to love all that is good and beautiful and true. When a boy can differentiate be¬ tween the good and the bad qualities, and the important and unimportant in life, and can appreciate the former, he is educated. Knowledge will follow. All this, and possibly more, the new chapel should bring about. When it does, we may well say that the investment was a wise one. 6 Through the Years Highest Standing Valedictorian.Samuel Gerson Lebowitz Salutatorian.Raymond Luther Hildenbrand Third Honor.Ralph Irvin Cavalucci Distinguished in Departments ENGLISH Samuel Gerson Lebowitz Herman Partridge SPANISH Eugene Minor Field Samuel Gerson Lebowitz Herman Partridge FRENCH Samuel Gerson Lebowitz Benjamin Orrin Gould MATHEMATICS Kenneth Albert Hollenshead SCIENCE Edward Alexander Gray COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTION Samuel Gerson Lebowitz Benjamin Orrin Gould Edward Alexander Gray MECHANICAL INSTRUCTION Ralph Irvin Cavalucci Norwood Samuel Patton ART Fred Baird Hoffmire Commencement Program Invocation.Joseph M.

Furthermore they have striven for a standard which would serve as a criterion for their successors. In this spirit Howard C. Smith led the way for a better Girard Magazine with the purpose of improving it as a conscientious Editor-in-Chief is expected to do. Much of the commendable material came from the pens of Frank P. Singles, Herman W. Partridge, Eugene M. Field, Edward A. Gray, and Francis L. Schanz, associate editors. During our Senior-Two term Herman Partridge served as President of the Literary Club. The Girard News owes its strong leadership of the past term to Samuel W. Miller, Editor-in-Chief. With Albert L. Litka at his side to divide the honors for news-getting, the student body has never been deprived of any news that’s fit to print. The energetic write-ups of athletic activities during the last term came from the pen of William W. Thomson who has been noticed not for his fluent style alone but for his clear and significant way of presenting what he had to say as well. Those who desired unprejudiced writing got it from this quarter. For the first time in the history of the News we enjoyed the special alumni edition of May 20, but this did not appear voluminous enough to shut out current news items of importance. Credit the success of this issue in particular to the pro¬ gressive spirit and tireless energy of Samuel Miller. And who could have represented the alumni magazine, Steel a nd Garnet, among the student body better than Samuel Lebowitz and Eugene M. Field? Their news was crisp and timely— just what the alumni want with the small amount of time they may wish to give to reading their journal. On reading the Commencement Record you realize of course that we are dealing exclusively with the achievements and standing of our class. As Editor- in-Chief of this issue, Frank P. Singles had the active and willing cooperation of Norwood S. Patton, Samuel A. Miller, Fred B. Hoffmire, William W. Thomson, and Charles E. Wagner. Each class strives for originality, length in material, better composition, attractiveness of make-up, and the gift of presenting interest¬ ing copy above what their predecessors found. The scope of this number of the Record has been greatly extended. We hope it will meet with your approval. Through the Years is our best literary endeavor and a true account of the Class of June 1933. If special credit is due, it belongs to Frank Singles who labored industriously upon this issue; you will observe his wise and careful planning from page to page. The Class of June 1933 is not unmindful of the guidance and wisdom of the sponsors of the publications mentioned above. To them and to the printers at the print shop they extend their deep appreciation. To our successors we leave our editorial responsibilities with the assurance that they are exceedingly pleasant to assume. Take them with sincerity and renewed ambition. Bring honor to your class. Through the Years lO With the Clubs T he puerile savage started the long train of clubs and societies whose wheels have worn lines in the pages of history down to the present day, and ever since man has always had an irresistible urge to band together with others who held similar views and were interested in the things in which he was interested. It is needless to explain how such organizations have been prominent in furthering civilization, but we might hesitate to realize that school clubs should likewise broaden our education. To belong to a club merely to amuse oneself is wasting time. To regard a club as a classroom is getting nowhere. But spending an hour a week where one can find enjoyment together with gainful activity is highly beneficial. At Girard, the clubs are intended to be run entirely by the boys. Reali¬ zation of this fact should lead every member to appreciate that his club is just what he makes it. If a club becomes dull and inactive, it is because those who belong to it have not enough initiative to provide action and interest. The Class of June ’33 has had it’s share of club members, and while we have no basis on which to judge our accomplishments, we sincerely hope those or¬ ganizations have benefited by our being in them.

No doubt you remember from our former travelogues the well known Mr. Michael Monk, who, because of his romantic wanderings in and out of all the lands of the earth, will conduct the program this afternoon: “Well, my dear cinema audience, here we are in Philadelphia where Girard College is situated. This first reel shows us getting off the road to make way for the large band coming down the ramp from the beautiful marble armory building. See how splendidly those boys march! Everyone keeps in step, and not one boy lets his instrument fall to the ground to discourage the other players. I am told that this is the wonderful band that accompanies the battalion, marching up and down the campus in perfect rhythm and style. That boy in the lead swinging the big stick around in the air seems to be Alexander Saldan. Yes, 12 Through the Years it is, and he s the drum-major. Behind him, in the first rank, is Captain George Young, the trombonist carrying his white baton. And there beside him is John Patton, the second lieutenant and trombonist, while another trombone player, Supply-Sergeant Clem, is holding down the right pivot. But everybody in the band isn’t a trombone player for here we see Philip Kline, another second lieu¬ tenant, swinging the big sticks. Just look at that first lieutenant, Ralph Cava- lucci, solo flutist, making up the rear guard and reed section of the Band. They’re gone. They’ve disappeared in the dusk. Looking on are the old senior members of the Band—Albert Litka, the former librarian of the Band, Robert Mills, Raymond Swem, and Walter Stagg who have since entered into other activities. But we’re off again! Up a long flight of marble steps to an iron door, and then up some more steps. This view shows a lot of space inside the armory building. A closed door. Someone has given it a shove. Why, there’s the orchestra in full array practicing under the guiding hand of Samuel Lebowitz, the assistant-leader, who has taken Alexander Saldan’s place for the time being. Lebowitz is also concertmaster, and Raymond Hildenbrand is the assistant con- certmaster. These boys go in for officerships in a big way. It’s a big job to handle a large orchestra successfully, but here in Girard College we find it done that way. Over there in the bassoon section is Plenry Bell, the manager; while still nearer us is Edward Gray, the librarian, and Gerald Hilborn, the assistant librarian. And now we come to the last reel of our little travelogue: a trip inside the new chapel to view the stirring Girard College Glee Club. Coming rapidly down the aisle in our special movie scene, we see the Glee Club growing larger and larger all the time. Mr. Carey is preparing to lead them through one of their favorite part songs. Everyone is on edge. They rise. A wave of the hand from the leader, and their voices break into a gleeful jubilee spreading and grow¬ ing until they’ve pictured for us life on an ocean voyage with enough adventure to last the rest of the year. Very well done! I’m sure you agree with me. The roll call of this organization is Walter Dieterle, president; Eugene Field, vice- president ; Anthony Spokas, secretary; and Norwood Patton, librarian. In the tenor section we find Ickes, Jeavons, Booth, Hilborn, Miller, Lebowitz, Gray, Martin, Stapleton, Stagg, Campbell, and Partridge. Cavalucci, N. Patton, J. Patton, Field, Spokas, Bougher, Wiley, Saldan, Costello, Swem, Thompson, Hoff- mire, Morrix, Kline, Bloom, Clem, and Boohar are in the bass section. Before closing we take a glimpse of Girard’s only performer on the organ— Norwood Patton. He’s at the console now. His hands and feet fly over the keys and pedals to give us a fine interpretation of one of Bach’s works. Let him follow up this profession and he will surely make a success of it. In closing this delightful bit of camera-snooping we wish to pay our compli¬ ments to Messrs. Frey, Cullen, Pfouts, Banks, and Carey. Without their ever¬ lasting patience and instruction we could never have produced such musicians as we have witnessed this afternoon. June 1933 13 Spotlights and Speeches IVc tried on the masks . . . I N DRAMATICS those members of the class who were most interested and showed the most talent, started work early, for our debut on the stage of the High School Auditorium came in an excerpt from Shakespeare’s “Midsum¬ mer Night’s Dream.’’ The piece was called “Pyramis and Thisbe,” and it was a real success. The cast included E. Thompson, J. Jeavons, J. Steiner, E. Tyson. F. Hoffmire, and E. Martin. At the same time a play called “In the Library’’ was given by the following members of our class: F. Bougher, S. Lebowitz, S. Miller, B. Gould, and R. Hildenbrand. At Christmas 1931 we gave a play entitled “Don Juan’s Christmas Eve,” by Harry Temp. The noblewoman’s part was taken by E. W. Tyson. We were in our first Junior term and happy again to be chosen in a leading role. When it comes to acting female parts, Earl takes the prize. Here he depicted very gracefully Lady Esmeralda, a haughty woman who was one of the first to realize that Christ, a king, was born. F. B. Hoffmire interpreted the father of Christ, Joseph. The splendid performance of our two representatives brought the spot¬ light to the Class of June 1933. The annual spring performance, usually a long play, was presented in three one-act plays in 1932. Although we were only in our Junior year, several of us took leading roles in two of the plays. “W’here the Cross is Made,” by Eugene O’Neil, was the first play. Though a tragedy of the sea, and somewhat heavy, the audience enjoyed it. David Hudson Morrix took the role of the old sea-captain who, insane and weak, lived in a shack rigged out like a boat for his own fancy. The fanatic was awaiting the arrival of a sunken ship. The daughter of the sea-captain was portrayed by Earl W. Tyson, who deserves great credit for making us feel the pitiful situation of a crazy father, and a brother who was slowly losing his mind, too. The third play was “The Little Father of the Wilderness” by Strong and Osbourne. It was a play of French court life in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Fred Baird Hoffmire filled the shoes of King Louis Fourteenth. He gave us a convincing portrait of a sophisticated and blase king. His mistress. Lady Henriette, was enacted by Earl W. Tyson. In this one evening he performed in two leading roles, which goes to show that Earl is a good “leading lady.” Not only were these two leading roles taken by our class in our Junior year, but we also were called to assume some minor parts. Gerald Hilborn impersonated a stately courtier, while Russell Hubler, Philip Kline, and Russell Bloom, portrayed French soldiers who went to the new world. These two plays were great successes, and we have reason to feel proud of our work. A play by Tolstoi entitled, “What Men Live By” was presented at Christmas 14 Through the Years of 1932. This was a beautiful little play which gives the story of an angel and a devil fighting over a man’s life. Christ comes to earth and saves the old man. David Morrix once more took honors by portraying an old man, in the role of Simon, an old cobbler, over whose possessions good and evil spirits were fighting. The clear and resonant voice of Earl W. Tyson came into being again in the per¬ son of an angel. His interpretation will be remembered. Fred Hoffmire took the part of Michael who later removed his earthly disgiiise and showed himself enacting Jesus Christ. His splendid portrayal of this role is unforgettable. Russell Bloom ably took the part of Thedka, a servant. The scene was laid in cold Russia. The closing curtain of this little masterpiece revealed the amber light of a cross superimposed upon the face of the unshaven Christ, while Simon was bowed in prayer. Here Jesus spoke his last word “love,” and left the audi¬ ence in a spell of silence. The spring play in 1933 was Oliver Goldsmith’s “She Stoops to Conquer.” Tony Lumpkin, the bragging, fun-loving, young simpleton of the play was nicely portrayed by a new actor, Walter Dieterle. His success on the stage for the first time was tremendous. In this leading role he delighted the audience who awaited his appearances with great expectation. He deserves our praise for his interesting characterization. Miss Kate Hardcastle, taken by—guess who? Who would stoop to conquer Mr. Charles Marlow, impersonated by David H. Morrix? Earl W. Tyson, who had to be as ravishing as the leading lady, is the answer to this difficult role. He provided a quality of acting which has not been surpassed here. His trans¬ formation from the lovely Kate to the still lovelier “bar-tmaid” was indeed worthy. Congratulations! Dave is a bashful lover among gracious ladies, but when it comes to bar¬ maids, young Marlow is not in the least bashful. His interpretation deserves our sincere congratulations also. Norwood S. Patton will be remembered in the part of Mr. George Hastings a blase and affectations young lover. When was a better characterization of a meticulous gentleman ever given ? The costuming, make-up, and scenery, all added so much to all these plays, that we cannot but express our thanks to all who participated, and especially to Mr. H. V. Andrews, whom we shall remember as a skillful dramatic coach. The French class under the direction of Miss Carrie M. Frey gave a play that has not been surpassed by any previous French play. It was Moliere’s, “Le Medicin Malgre Lui.” Those who participated are: S. Lebowitz, A. Litka, W. Emerich, C. Wagner, B. Gould, F. Hoffmire, and H. Partridge. With the help of Dr. R. I. Haskell, sponsor of the Debating Club, the boys in the S-2-1 team made a very fine showing. They won several victories over fellow-students beating the graduate team: when we were undergraduates. How¬ ever, we broke all precedents by debating Elizabethtown College creditably. Although defeated, the showing which the team made was so good that there is still a doubt in our minds about the decision. The team consisted of the follow- June 1933 15 ing members of our class: Charles Wagner, Samuel Lehowitz, Raymond Hilden- brand, and W ' illiam Jones. To them we extend our congratulations. In the Declamation Contest of December 1932, Charles W gner and Fred Hoffmire represented the Senior-one class. Fred HofTmire took first prize with his forceful declamation entitled “Stage Versus Screen.” Every member of the Class has had his share of speaking publicly in the Friday morning auditorium assemblies. .And those twenty-four fellows who gave excellent Sunday evening reports are not to be forgotten. Working in and with plays has been a great enjoyment, and again we wish to express our sincere thanks to all who made them both instructive and enter¬ taining. Our Athletes T he class of June 1933 does not boast of a multitude of athletes. The group is small; we have but twenty-two letter men. But all of these fellows are athletes of the first magnitude, many of them gaining their “G’s” in two and three sports. Leading the Class we have Kenneth Hollenshead, who made six letters in three different fields of endeavor; track, basketball, and soccer. “Ken” captained the 1933 basketball and track teams, breaking two Girard records—the half mile run and the running broad jump. William Thomson also made a ' creditable record in athletics. “Bill” won five letters playing two years of basketball and baseball and one year of soccer. “Bill” ended his athletic career at Girard by captaining the 1933 baseball team through a very successful season. Harold Kern is a three-letter man, having made his mark in soccer, basket¬ ball and baseball. Jerry Hutton, another all-round man, gained his “G” in soccer, basketball, and track. Jerry shonle the brightest in track where he broke the Girard pole vault record. Among our two-letter men we have Charles Pitts, Frank Singles, and George Abbott. All three made their letters in soccer, while Pitts made his second in basketball. Frank ran the half mile, sprints and broad jump this season and was awarded his second “G,” while George did some fine running in the 880-yard dash to gain his. Charles Wagner was given two “G’s” in track. Walter Die- terle, star weightman and holder of the shot-put record, Norwood Patton, pole vaulting star; Eugene Field, high jumper; Claude Machemer, hurdler, and George Young, another hurdler, were all awarded letters in track. William Emerich managed the successful track team this season. i6 Through the Years Emilio Palladino made his letter in soccer and Anthony Ispokavice, Bill Fay, and Thomas Boal won their “G’s” in baseball. “Tom” Boal managed the 1933 baseball team. Raymond Swem and Russell Hubler were awarded their letters for swimming; “Ray” as a breast-stroker and “Russ” for his services as a manager. Credit must also be given to the three athletic officials, Russell Bloom, John Booth, and Herman Partridge. These fellows were all presented with a letter for their service in officiating at inter-house contests. The Class of June 1933 is proud of her athletes since we know they have upheld very ably the Girard standard: “To win, and to win cleanly.” Lettermen of the Class of June 1933 Track George I.

The train ride was interesting and not at all monotonous. Very soon we found our¬ selves at our country’s shrine. The first thing we did upon arriving was to walk a mile or so to the famous Chapel. On the way we were impressed by the beauty of the grass, green fields, and the trenches, and the small forts used over a hundred and fifty years ago by that army about which we have heard so much and learned to revere with admiration and love. We met Dr. Burke when our party arrived at the beautiful Chapel erected to the memory of those who suffered so much there. Dr. Burke led us inside where we were seated while he delivered a short inspirational address explaining the significance of some of the things we saw or were to see. There, too, in that church we saw the finest art glass yet produced in America. There were two very interesting things near the Chapel—the museum and the famous state bells grouped to¬ gether in a large carillon. Several hymns were played on them by the organ¬ ist of the Chapel, then Norwood Patton was asked to play something. He responded very well with a rendition of our “Hail Girard.” PLveryone was in¬ terested in the fine museum next to the Chapel, and we spent considerable time looking through it. The sun was shining in the clear sky; and, as noon approached, the weather became exceedingly warm. It was then that we began walking once more and complaining about the heat. After going over several miles of green sod. stopping a couple of times at spots of interest, we arrived at the lunch grounds. What happened next I’ll leave to the reader’s imagination. Freedom to do whatever we pleased was given us for the remainder of the afternoon. Some played ball, others climbed the tower while the rest roamed about the grounds in small groups looking for enjoyment in different ways. P ' inally a tired, sun¬ burned Junior class met at the station where they took the four-forty train for home. The majority of us have not visited Valley Forge since, but everything stands out so well in our memories that it seems like hardly more than a month since we were there. In fact, many of us will never return, but we derived so much from the trip that we shall never forget the things we saw there and the meaning of Valley Forge. The other trip was taken last January—a little before the preceding class was graduated. It was then that we sensed among them the graduation atmos¬ phere which we are so firmly entrenched in today. Very early one Thursday morning we left for the Broad Street Station. Four hours later we were in Washington getting our first view of the city through the windows of sight¬ seeing buses. That afternoon, the same vehicles took us to Mount Vernon where we spent several delightful hours. During the remainder of our trip we saw practically every important spot and building in the Capitol City. The gen¬ eral beauty, the splendid buildings, and the hallowed spots impressed andbrought to us a keen sense of appreciation. This trip is also one we shall never forget, for the impressions we received are too deep to be worn away by time. i8 Throngh the Yetrs Along the Wall June 1933 19 The trip to the Girard Estate coal mines in Shenandoah was eliminated with the special trip of the battalion officers to West Point, because of present conditions, but it is our sincere hope that these two trips can be resumed next year, inasmuch as the others have been such a pleasure and help to those who went on them. Forward March! L ittle did we realize, as recruits, that we were taking steps in the military activities of Girard which destined for some of us a goodly measure of success in this field of endeavor. From the first “Assembly” to the last Retreat,” we feel that our class has given unstintingly of its efforts in making the Girard College Cadet Corps a creditable organization. As captains, Kenneth Hollenshead, Frank Rougher, James H. Ickes, and Emilio F. Palladino have proven themselves fine cadets and efficient and respected officers. John J. Wiley headed the battalion staff as adjutant, with Russell G. Hubler and Herman W. Partridge as lieutenants. Charles H. Costello and Charles W. Pitts served as Sergeant-Major and Color Sergeant respectively. We are proud to have among us two winners in the Individual Competitive Drill. In June 1932, Charles W. Stapleton, then a corporal in Company D, was awarded first prize. David H. Morrix succeeded in capturing second prize in Jan¬ uary 1933 while serving as a sergeant in Company A. As Captain of the Band, George R. Young deserves commendation on the fine way he has conducted that organization. He was ably assisted by Ralph Cava- lucci, John Patton, and Philip Kline as lieutenants. From Junior-one to Senior- two, Alexander Saldan served as Battalion Drum-Major. .As sergeants, Albert Litka and Walter H. Stagg proved to be efficient soldiers. Wilbur M. Clem was Supply Sergeant of the Band. George I. Abbott, Matthew A. Franey, Samuel A. Miller, and William J. MacCauley did their parts well in the battalion as Lieutenants. Charles E. Wag¬ ner was First Sergeant of Company C in the Senior-one term. We had a number of sergeants from our class, and it is obvious that without the cooperation of the non-commissioned officers a military organization woul d be a failure. John W. Campbell, George Egan, Russell H. Bloom, Elmer Boohar, Benjamin Gould, David Morrix, Frank P. Singles, Charles W. Stapleton, Joseph Steiner, and Edgar Thompson served in the capacity of sergeants. Walter A. Dieterle, of CompanyD, and Jack Jeavons, of Company C, were supply ser¬ geants in their respective units. Now the final dismissal has been ordered. We leave Girard with the hope that succeeding officers will make the Cadet Corps a place wherein the hearts and minds of the hoys in the ranks may aspire to lead men, not to war, but to peace. 20 Through the Years Fox-Trot and Waltz T HKSK bright June days suggest dancing. Music in the flowers, trees, and all nature, and the loveliness and gracefulness of things all instill an appre¬ ciation of our lighter moments. We ride along on our imagination, emo¬ tions, and memory. Now it is our class socials which hold sway over all other things in our thoughts. The decorations of our first dance were extremely nautical in character. About the room were objects symbolic of a ship—a crow’s nest, portholes, life- preservers snd a steering wheel, while a sailor’s cap signifying “Steamship Girard’’ was on every head. This Junior-one dance was truly an excellent affair. By the time the next social came around, we had ironed out the rough edges of our dancing and manners and were prepared for an ideal night. Blue and white decorations depicting spring scenes gave a fine atmosphere to the affair and aided materially in its success. And then in the season of stacked yellow corn, ripe apples, yellow pump¬ kins, and falling leaves, we had our Senior-one social. The decorations were in harmony with the season ; corn shocks were artistically used to give the au¬ tumn savor to the walls ; pumpkins were strewn about the room, and in one corner was a thatched hut where a witch tended her cauldron over a fire. Dur¬ ing the intermission Fred Hoffmire read something which was of keen interest to everyone— a class prophecy. During the reading, there was no end of laugh¬ ing. Why not ? Sixty-seven times out of sixty-eight the joke was on someone else. Our last dance took place at the beginning of this term, and, as it was about the time of Saint Valentine’s Day, the decorations were appropriately red and white. When the the last strains of “Auld Lang Syne’’ died away we bade farewell to all our friends with whom we had passed such an enjoyable time. Our Thanks and Appreciation We cannot pass on unappreciative of the helpful assistance given us by our hosts and hostesses. The Class is duly grateful to Mrs. Ula Echols, our hostess, for her fine cooperation and service in making all of our socials real successes. We must also thank Miss Helen Boyd and Miss A. Mae Jacobs for their kind help in assisting Mrs. Echols with her work. To Dr. D. Montfort Melchior, the Class is truly grateful; his good spirit and joviality have done much to enliven our dances and make them pleasant evenings. The Class also expresses sincere appreciation to Mr. Raymond Berkley for his keen participation and helpful work in all of our class affairs. THE CLASS 22 Through the Years KE.VXETH A.

He’s everybody’s friend, a conscientious scholar and our ideal athlete. In whatever activity he’s taking part, you’ll find him showing the way for others. Not loud and boisterous, nor on the other hand silent, he makes his presence felt in his natural pleasant manner. He seems to be a genius at doing the right thing at the right time, and is always off at the crack of the gun when others are still wondering what it is all about. His classmates congratulate him for his many successes, and in bidding him farewell wish him the best of luck in carving his name outside as has he carved it in Girard. President WALTER A. DIETEKLE ••TICK - 932 North Fifth Street, Philadelphia, Penna. President of Class, S-l; Vice-President of Class, S-2; President of Glee Club, S-2; President of Dramatic Club, S-2: Conference Committee, S-l, S-2; Track Team, ’33: Shot Put Record; Glee Club, S-l, S-2; Cast, “She Stoops to Conquer”: Supply Sergeant in Battalion, S-l. Vice-President Gifts of nature sometimes come in abundance, and in this respect “Walt” has been rather fortunate. All the girls at our dances knew who the handsome red-headed fellow was. He has put his size and strength to good use in clipping a fifteen year old shot put record. We all agree that Tick” is quite an actor, and the effect of his personality is shown by his many friends. Dick” doesn’t know the meaning of melancholy or fear. But now as it is time to leave our “vice-prez” and his good-natured manner, we can only say that his ability to mix and be friendly with all should be a great asset in his future life. June 1933 23 geor(;e I. ABBori’ abs 2734 Diamond Street, Philadelphia, Peniia. Lieutenant in Battalion, S-2; Vice-President, Social Stud¬ ies Club, S-2: Soccer Team, ’32; Track Team, ’33; Bas¬ ketball Numerals, ’33; Senior Life Saving Certificate S-2. “.• bs is one fellow who has plenty of determination and perseverance. He is quiet, but everyone knows the value of his speech when he does say something. Industrious and pleasant, this sincere classmate can look brightly at the future. HEBBEBT M. APPLEBAU.M “APS 5912 Locust Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Secretary, Naturalist Club, J-2. Always happy, always gay, Always talking, so they say. Aps” is quite an innocent acting fellow. He tries to get his enjoyment from helping around his building and joking with his friends. If you want to make his acquaint¬ ance. you can have a lot of fun with “Dusty,” for he al¬ ways has some humorous story to tell about someone. It’s marvelous the way he can dig things up; he should be a news reporter. CHABLE.S H. BEEE “CHAHLIE 152 Hall Street, Spring City, Penna. Charlie is an earnest boy who rarely shirks his task. Whenever there is any wireless transmission experiment¬ ing done in Girard, he is sure to have a part in it. Qualities that we all like in Charlie are his modesty and naturalness. The quality of Charlie’s friendship, we add, is particularly deep and lasting. 24 Through the Years HEXRY H. BEEL • hencH” 504 Pugh Street, State College, Penna. Band, 7A to J-1; Orchestra, J-1 to S-2; Manager of Or¬ chestra, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2. Four years ago “Hench” entered the High School with the intention of studying chemistry. Unlike many others who had the same intention, he has stuck to it. However, he has not limited his activities to that, but has plunged into the fields of electricity, mathematics, and nature as well. If he has found as much liking for these subjects as we have found for him and his pleasant manner, he must surely be happy. “HUS” 231 West Second Street, Berwick, Penna. Athletic Official “G,” ’31; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2: Ser¬ geant in Battalion, J-1 to S-2; Cast, “ Scheming Lieu¬ tenant”; Cast, “What Men Live By”; Band, 1-1 to 2-1. Whenever anything is being done or should be done, Russ” is always around to lend a helping hand. If he takes part in outside affairs as much as he does in Girard’s he should find life quite interesting and the world open to him. THOMAS H. BOAL TO.M Warminster, Pennsylvania President, Commercial Club, S-2; Manager of Baseball Team, ’33; First Prize, Penmanship Award, 2-2; Base¬ ball Numerals, ’32. We are now returning to Warminster its foremost citizen. Back to the farm for “Tom,” but someone’s in for a hard time thinking he can be kept there. “Tom’s” brains, good sense, and humor are all going to be factors in his gaining prominence. His naturalness and wit have brought him many friends. June 1933 25 ELMER T. BOOIIAU -BOO” 507 Spruce Street, Delanco, N. J. Sergeant in Battalion, S-1; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Senior Life Saving Certificate. Cowboys and Indians! The redskins have battered down the cabin door and are about to scalp the fair dam¬ sel—but wait—who is this big handsome fellow? The Indians flee and once again Boo” has saved the day. Yes, that’s his hobby. Is there a pioneer’s or cowboy’s biog¬ raphy that he hasn ' t read? JOHN BOOTH •■GO.VG” 305 East Line Street, Olyphant, Penna. Secretary, Physics Club, J-1; Glee Club, S-1 to S-2; Ath¬ letic Official “G,” ’31. “Gong” certainly has the knack of making people laugh. A new member of our class, “Jay” is nevertheless one of the most popular. His friends will certainly miss him and will find that joke books will be a very poor substi¬ tute for one who has afforded them so much fun and friendship. FRANK ROUGHER -rHANK 1020 Marlborough Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Secretary, Chess Club, J-1; Secre¬ tary Social Studies Club, S-1, S-2; Captain in Battalion, S-2. Gaiety seems to be the keynote of “Frankie’s” Ife. If he’s not molding a mischievous idea in his head to be played on someone, he’s throwing somebody’s cap on a certain nail he knows cannot be reached. “Frankie” is one of the reasons why Girardians never grow old. 26 Through the Years JOH. W. CAMPBELL -SOUP” 4634 Hazel Avenue, Philadelphia, Penna. Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Sergeant in Battalion, J-1 to S-1; Business Manager, Chemistry Club, S-2. We take our hats off to one who has given so liberally of his time and effort in making our socials successful. Always ready to lend a hand, we feel that our dances took much of their uniqueness from “Johnny’s” aid as a mem¬ ber of the decorating committee. We were always sure to find “Soup” Campbell on the spot when the work was being done. RALPH 1. CAVALUCCI LUCH 1949 West Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, Penna. First Prize, Washington Essay, S 1; Swimming Nu¬ merals, ’31 to ’33; Vice-President, Music Club, S-2; Band, 1-1 to S-2; First Lieutenant in Band, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2. “He came—he saw—he conquered !’’ If we all could be like Ralph, we would be scholastic giants, and we would know the value of good and bad music. CHESTER H. CHRISLER •CHET Trout Run, Penna. Basketball Numerals, ’33. Rather quiet, unassuming, pleasant, and quick to make friends, “Chet” has reached his goal after much hard work. “Chris” has been a plugger on our athletic teams. He runs a good race for everything. This dogged per¬ severance will some day reap a harvest for “Chet.” June 1933 27 153 N. 61st Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Band, 7A to S-2; Supply Sergeant in Band, S-2. Seeing “Will” without a smile would be parallel to Pennsylvania’s voting the straight Democratic ticket. We can’t imagine either. Where might and joy ab ound, we find good feeling and friendship. CHARLES II. COSTELLO ••cos- 2852 N. 20th Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Glee Club, S-1, S-2; Sergeant-Major in Battalion, S-2: Baseball Numerals, ’32; Soccer Numerals, ’32; Secretary, Camera Club, J-2. Here’s to Cos”—carefree, happy and humorous! He has made us all his friends because of his likeable ways. We congratulate “Cos” on having finished nine profitable years at Girard, and our parting wish is for his best success. GEORGE R. EGAN ••oeoroe 5 N. Brown Street, Lewistown, Penna Manager of Basketball Team, ’33; Sergeant in Battalion, To Girard nine years ago came a little boy from a little town. Now a big boy is going back to the same little town. George is a preeminent example of maximum marks with minimum effort. As ready with a smile as with a criticism, his friends find him always eager to enter into a discussion of any kind. 28 Through the Years WILLIAM EMERICH - EMS Stevens, Penna., R. D. No. 1. Manager of Track Team, ’33; Cast, “Le Medecin Malgre Lui”; Chess Team, ’32 If you should ever be looking for “Ems,” there’s one place you’d be sure to find him—on the track. “Bill” came from the farm about nine years ago and now he is returning to his favorite existence. Qassmates cooperate and buy your food from “Ems”! WILLIAM E. FAY BILL” 915 South Farragut Terrace, Philadelphia, Penna. Baseball Team, ’33; President, Italian Club, S-1. Quiet, modest, and discreet, we find “Bill” leading his own life here in Girard. His sympathetic look and pleas¬ ant voice have placed him in the ranks of our friends. In athletic circles he is quite active, and if it hadn’t been for “Bill,” Bordeaux Hall might only have been Bordeaux Hall in house competition. EUGENE M. FIELD GENE 18 Elk Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y. Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Vice-President, Glee Club, S-2; Correspondent, Steel and Garnet; Band, 7B to S-1; Treasurer of Qass, J-1 to S-2; Track Team, ’33; Secre¬ tary, Music Club, S-1; Staff, Girard Magasine. “Johnny” is as well liked for his person as he is re¬ spected for his ability. Those with whom he has come in contact, whether socially or on the athletic field, have felt themselves possessed of a friend. June 1933 29 MATTHEW A. FRANEY ted” East Greenville, Penna. Lieutenant in Battalion, J-2 to S-1; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Soccer Numerals, ’31. “Ted” knows the art of having a fine time at dances. He shared eight socials while the majority of us had only four. To us “Ted” is a gay, fun-loving classmate, always out for a good time. BENJAMIN O. GOULD -BENNY 55 Oak Street, Binghamton, N. Y. Sergeant in Battalion, S-1; Cast, “Le Medecin Malgre Lui ; Vice-President, Commercial Club, S-2; Business Manager of Class, J-1. “Benny” is one of the more reserved students of our class, who has spent nine quiet but profitable years at Girard. He has become known to us not only in scholastic circles, but in other Girard activities as well. We feel certain that his frank perseverance will lead him to the goal which he aspires to cross. EDWARD A. GRAY ED 934 N. Holly Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Orchestra, 7A to S-2; Librarian, Music Qub, J-2; Librarian of Orchestra, J-2 to S-2; Associate Editor, Girard Magasitie Rather quiet, sincere, ambitious, and friendly, “Ed” always has something pleasant to say when he does speak. Through his hard work he has lifted himself to a position high in scholastic rating. “Ed” has every qualification for an excellent business man. 30 Through the Years GEORGE GUATTARI ••GEORGE- 1333 Reed Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Vice-President, Physics Club, J-2; Vice-President, Nat¬ uralist Qub, S-2; Chemistry Prize, S-1; Orchestra, 7A to 1-2. His talents lie chiefly in the fields of science and mathe¬ matics, but George also takes a keen interest in art and tennis. Intelligent, and calm, George has made himself well liked through his unpretentiousness in both speech and actions. George is sure to succeed. EDWARD C. KETTLE •HETS - 1403 N. 29th Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Vice-President, Italian Club, J-2; Secretary, German Club, J-1. Lord Bacon once said, “They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.” This bit of philos¬ ophy can be well said of “Hets.” A quiet, unassuming, pensive fellow, “Ed” has done his work faithfully and earnestly. “Hets” is an inveterate reader. We shall miss one who has aided us materially in becoming acquainted with our library and its treasures. GERALD F. IIILBORN ••JERRY- 20 N. Main Street, Spring City, Penna. Orchestra, 7A to S-2; Librarian of Orchestra, S-1 to S-2; President, Music Club, S-2; Cast, “Little Father of the Wilderness”; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Senior Life Sav¬ ing Certificate. “Gerry” has plenty of confidence and seldom gets others to do for him what he can perform himself. One of his; chief interests has been dramatics, while music has also taken up much of his time. He made his first appearance as a soldier in the play “The Little Father of the Wilder¬ ness” over a year ago. June 1933 31 RAYMOND LITHER HILDENBRAND •HILUV 313 West New York Street, Shenandoah, Penna. Debating Team, S-2: Orchestra, 1-1 to S-2; Assistant Manager of Orchestra, S-2; Vice-President, Debating Club, S-2: Second Prize, Boy Week Oratorical Contest. Seeing isn’t always believing, and we find this par¬ ticularly true in “Hildy’s case. His stature has been con¬ fined to the five foot class, but his intellect expands to the “nth” degree. A scholar, gentleman, and all around good fellow is a hard combination to beat. F. BAIRD HOFFMIRE FRED “Glen Foerd, Torresdale, Penna. First Prize, Declamation Contest, ' 32; Boy Week Prize, iy31; Second Prize, Penmanship Award, 2-2; Bregy Special Art Class Prize, ’32; Cast, “Don Juan’s Christmas live”; Cast, Little Father of the Wilderness”; Cast, “What Men Live By”; Cast, Le Medecin Malgre Lui”; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Staff, Commencement Record; Art Editor, Girard Mayas.ne, S-2; Correspondent, Steel and Garnet. The immaculate Hoff,” seen in a King Louis collar, was Girard’s leading theatrical light. His ability to act off stage as well as on has won him a host of friends who have a broad appreciation of his natural humor and lighter moments. We predict no small success for “Fred” on the “Incandescent Way.” RUSSELL G. HUBLER HUB 1903 E. Venango Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Lieutenant in Battalion, S-1; Manager of Swimming Team, ’33; Cast, “The Scheming Lieutenant”: Cast, The Little Father of the Wilderness. If anyone ever tried more conscientiously to get along in school than “Hubs” he would surely deserve greatness. It seems as though he has never had a clear week in class but what something happened to spoil the fun. But “Russ” came back every time with a smile and a new hope. 32 Through the Years JEREMIAH HUTTON ‘•jerry- 4722 Marple Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Track Team, ’32, ’33; Soccer Team, ’32; Basketball Numerals, ’32; Basketball Team, ’33; Athletic Council, S-2; President, Mathematics Club, S-2; Glee Club, S-1, S-2. “Jerry” is one of the noble “Reds” of our class. We have three of them, and they all seem to measure up to the belief that red hair gives a man distinctive qualities. He has succeeded in leaping to fame on the track team and should find it an easy matter to leap into prominence after he leaves Girard. JAMES H. ICKES -ICK 2021 S. Simpson Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Captain in Battalion, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Presi¬ dent, Naturalist Club, J-2; Vice-President, Chemistry Club, S-2; Manual Arts Prize, 7A; Baseball Numerals, ’32. “Jimmy” rarely gives up anything he has started, even when its accomplishment seems impossible. We still re¬ member him running around the rabbitball diamond trying to make a “homer” on a hit good for two bases. This term, after two years of labor, “Jimmy” found himself senior captain of the battalion. Here’s to our future successful engineer. ANTHONY ISPOKAVICE SPOKEY South Mountain, Franklin County, Penna. American Legion Medal, 7A ; Secretary of Glee Club, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; President, Physics Club, J-2; President, Camera Club, S-1; Soccer Numerals, ’32; Baseball Team, ’32, ’33. Of “Spokey” we might say, his pep varies inversely with his size. “Spoke” is the type of fellow you want to have with you when you are on a camping trip or a picnic. Then, too, we cannot forget that “Spokey” is quite an accomplished second-baseman. June 1933 33 JACK JEAVONS -JEV 226 Meeting House Lane, Merion, Penna. Gjth Numerals, ' 29; Supply Sergeant in Battalion, S-1; Glee Club, S-1 to S-2. No one has more humor than “Jev.” This blonde- headed fellow has the ability to discover when to laugh and when not. When younger, Jack used to spend much time in the Gym. He soon became one of the best oP our gymnasts. Unluckily, however, we eliminated the gjm team, and so Jack became a high jumper. “Jev” has made an admirable group of friends here. WILLIAM G. JONES ••bill- 119 West Oak Street, Frackville, Penna. Secretary, Debating Club, S-2; Debate Manager, S-l; Debating Team, S-2. ■■Bill’s” one ambition is to enjoy life. To this he has set his heart and soul. Being able to mix with others is one of “Bill’s” chief attributes, while his principal interests are debating and tennis. HAROLD T. KERN -WHlTEV 178 Elizabeth Street, Pittston, Penna. Baseball Team, ’32, ’33; Basketball Team, ’33; Soccer Team, ’32; President, Art Club, S-2; Vice-President, Woodworking Club, S-1; Conference Committee, S-2. ■‘Whitey” has devoted his time to helping raise tha standard of our at ' nletic teams. For over a year he was associated with the successful Bordeaux House teams, and since then has been playing regularly for the College Varsity. “Whitey” has made many friends who have high regard for his companionship. 34 Through the Years PHILIP S. KLINE “CHUCK” Waldhiem Park, Allentown, Penna. Band, 1-2 to S-2; Lieutenant in Band, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2: Cast, “The Scheming Lieutenant”; Senior Lifesaving Certificate; Cast, “The Little Father of the Wilderness.” Silence is a virtue which few possess. “Phil” has it But this may only be to atone for the great amount of noise “Chuck” makes in the band. At concerts, many a neck has been stretched just for a glimpse of this stir¬ ring drummer-boy. To us, “Chuck” is even more popular than his music. SAMUEL G. LEBOWITZ • leb” 2328 N. 18th Street, Philadelphia, Penna. L’Alliance Francaise Award, 2-2; Second Prize, Thrift Essay, 2-2; Business Manager of Class, J-2; Orchestra, 7A to S-2; Assistant Student Leader of Orchestra, S-2; Debating Team, ’33; Chess Team, ’32, ’33; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Cast, “Le Medecin Malgre Lui”; Correspondent, Steel and Garnet “Sam” deserves much credit for the earnest, enthusias¬ tic, and determined way in which he has tackled his school work. As first honor student of his class, “Lebo” can now look with hope toward the future. Whether in school or out, “Leb” is always busy at some profitable task. ALBEKT LEKOY LITKA “AL 95 Nutt Road, Phoenixville, Penna. Cast, “Le Medecin Malgre Lui”; Librarian of Band, 2-1 to J-2; Band, 7A to S-2; Sergeant in Band, S-1; Staff, Girard News, J-2 to S-2; News Editor, Girard Nezvs, S-2. “Al” is a fine fellow despite his saxophone playing. He is gifted with a tremendous lot of self-consciousness, but his friends have learned to take this as one of his chief attributes. His specialty is making last minute write-ups for the Girard Neivs. June 1933 LOUIS LITOW -LIT” Philadelphia, Penna. Every morning, except Sunday, when he must sleep, we find Lit” the first from bed collecting our news¬ papers. What he does with them no one knows. We sometimes wonder if he knows. An ardent baseball fan and a fun-loving, likeable chap, “Lou” aspires to be a sports writer. His humor should carry him far. WILLIAM J. MacCAULEY - mac 120 North 7th Street, Darby, Penna. Lieutenant in Battalion, S-1; President, Electrical Club, S-2. To us “Mac” has always been a quiet, unobtrusive fellow who does his work faithfully from day to day. His interest lies in the field of electricity. His willing hand and his frequent smile predict a happy future for “Mac.” CLAUDE J. MACHEMEK MACH ' 945 Elm Street, Reading, Penna. Track Team, ’33; Senior Life Savng Certificate. Starting on the track team as a high jumper, Mach” soon found he could take more places as a high hurdler. He’s one of our best now. “Mach is the fellow, you ri member, who went out in the Schuylkill one Sunday in a canoe with “Phil” Kline and overturned. However, wc know “Mach” will steer his ship of life much better than he did that canoe. 36 Through the Years EDWARD MARTIN -ED’ 2714 “E” Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; President, Aero Club, S-2; Sec¬ retary, Aero Club, S-1; Cast,“She Stoops to Conquer.” This solid, chubby fellow’s nature is what you might suspect. He loves fun and is an expert in playing tricks. Fatty” is no “slouch” when the discus needs a mighty toss, or when something must be done in the Machine Shop. SAMUEL A.

Combining ability with labor, “Sam” has been the chief factor in the recent success of our Girard News. His determination and gentle persuasion have carried ■ ■ 1 a long way in certain scholastic subjects. Whether chooses to be a journalist or an accountant, “Sam” )uld bring honor to his Alma Mater. 219 Church Street, Danville, Penna. Band, 7B to S-2; ’33. a fellow who appreciates and loves beauty— especially human loveliness.

His modesty, un¬ assuming demeanor, and serene spirit have put every fellow, without exception, on his side. “Joe,” being a good hurdler and high-jumper, is one of our track stal¬ warts.
