Third Honor January 1935 5 Editorial Everything must have its end, and the short stay in Girard Col¬ lege is no exception. The Class of January 1935 has completed its sojourn within the walls of their own resourcefulness and force of character. They go out as they come in, not knowing what will happen, not knowing which way to turn, eager to make friends. For the past nine years we have done comparatively lit¬ tle in the way of grappling with the problems that face us, and, as we no longer are in this position, one question arises. Can we now grapple with our own problems and solve them as well as they have been solved in the past ? One faces a very difficult situation, on leaving a school with high aspirations, to find when he has to do things as he sees them he is not prepared to meet them. He finds that he loses his own confidence, and his own morale is lowered until a pitiable state remains. He may end up making his rounds at a coffee house or a relief quarter. Is it likely that a Girard boy will follow the path just described? The answer is obvious. Everyone of us has received from Girard indispensable qualities which make for successful living. We can’t all be millionaires, but we can be the type of men of whom this country may be proud. Let us remember that the youth of today are the men of tomorrow. Our lives have not been of great length, and our experiences are few. We do not cover ourselves with a cloak of complete knowledge, but ralther we hope to be led along the right way in order to really understand the problems about us. We want to learn how others solve problems, so that we can develop better ability to cope with problems of our own. The Class of January 1935 hopes to make use of the training which their nine years here have brought them. They have been pleasant years; years which will not be forgotten. It was in Girard that the Class first learned to make the most of its opportunities. Our Class sincerely hope that they may rise some day and contribute to the glory of their country, and be a part of one glorious machine working in harmony with common interests. To the teachers of the College we extend our warmest thanks for helping us 6 At the Turn of the Road in the getting of a training which is hard to parallel. They have been to us some of the closest friends whom we have ever had, and we trust their relations with us have been pleasant. We have been told by them how to make men of ourselves, and we say as a reply, “You are men and women with whom we have been proud to associate, and may your clean influence reach future classes, as it has ours.” En Route In May 1933, our class took its ■ first scheduled trip outside of the city. This trip was to Valley Forge, the shrine of Revolution¬ ary War days. It was but a short trip to the place, and we had the greater part of the day to travel over the park. Probably the outstanding jnemory which we cherish is our Visit to the Valley Forge Chapel. The pastor of this little chapel was the late Rev. Doctor Burke, who devoted the greater part of his life to it. He was building , additions to it as fast as contri- I butions from visitors permitted him to do so. When we saw the jchapel, he had almost reached Jiis goal. Yet, within a few months after our visit he was called to his last resting place with his work unfinished. We spent the greater part of ' the day roaming the grounds at our leisure, traveling from the Observation Tower to each com¬ memorative monument. And that night we certainly were tired! It was a rather subdued group that traveled homeward on the train, but we thoroughly enjolyed the entire day. On January 10, 1935 we took the outstanding trip of our school days—the Washington trip. More enjoyment and activity were crowded into three short days than one can believe possible. January 1935 7 Almost before vve were located in a hotel, we found ourselves en route to Mount Vernon. The sight of this shrine was awe-inspiring. When one stops to think that our first president once lived in this lovely place, it is hard to compre¬ hend. Mount Vernon is beautiful beyond description. On the second day in Washington we saw Congress and the Supreme Court in session. The House of Representatives was a disappointment to most of us, but the Senate and Supreme Court are very dignified and well-conducted. The rest of the day was spent in touring the city, covering such points as the White House and the National Capitol. The third day we spent visiting the capital’s museums and a few other points of minor interest. These trips were our only class activities outside of Girard. Experience is the best teacher, however, and vve learned more from these two excursions than from weeks of classroom study. If you would learn, travel. Journalists and Writers The things men write live after them. Perhaps the work the Class of January 1935 did will remain behind us as an example. A school can be judged often enough by the publications of its student body. We hope our class has been able to elevate Girard in the minds of our outside cor- 1 respondents as well as with the student body. The first writing accom¬ plishment of our class became public when two of our group took places in the first short story contest sponsored by the Literary Club. However a better-known work of the class is the publication of the Girard News. In our senior term Ralph Price headed the staff of the paper, and Arthur Englebach and Robert Franey covered news and sports items respectively. As the paper came out but once a month, the editors did not print events which had already occurred but tried to get news of events yet to take place. And again, they were able to bring a regular sporting page back into each issue. We hope we have been successful in regaining for the paper some of the prestige it formerly held, but lost when its num¬ ber of issues was cut in half. 8 At the Turn of the Road The Fall 1934 issue of the Girard Magazine was published practically by the members of our class. The Editor-in-Chief was John Binder, assisted by Robert W. Andrews, President of the Literary Club, who did a good deal of the work. Other members of the staff were Joseph Abaldo, Bruce Allen, Calvin Morgan, Guy DiCenza, Nicholas Mocharniuk, John Steen and Raymond Pritchard. This is an extremely large number of our class acting as editors, and a good many of the articles were written by them and their fellow classmates. Sam Place, Art Editor of At the Turn of the Road, contributed the cover design for the magazine. The clear-cut lines, and the general excellency of the design placed Sam as one of the outstanding linoleum block-cutters of recent years in the College. Look at some of the cuts in this Record. Sam did them. The last work of our class is the publication of our year book. At the Turn of the Road was published by a class-elected staff. Ralph Price is Editor-in- Chief, with Robert Andrews, Tobias Koch, John Steen, Arthur Englebach, and Robert J. L. Franey his associates. Our desire as writers has been to be just a bit different from the ordinary. This record is decidedly different in several respects from other year books. It is our final literary achievement; we hope it’s the best. Footlights Acting ability in our class was first shown in our Junior-One term in the play “She Stoops To Conquer.” In this presen¬ tation Bruce Allen and Alex¬ ander Davit took the part of servants. The next play in which our class’ talent played a large part was the “Christmas Carol.” In this play, Alexander Davit once again showed his ability as an old man, indulging in strange practices. Bruce Allen also took part as a pawn broker. We now present a new actor, Daniel Shirk, who admirably portrayed to us in the same play what a ghost should look like. We also present another arrival in this field of entertainment: Ralph Price. He transported us from our seats to a cultured English group across the sea. In the “Christmas Carol” the smallest member of our class, Roy Jones, took the part of Tiny Tim, showing us that he only had to be natural. January 1935 9 The big play of the season drew heavily from a group of our actors once again. We never fail to see Alexander Davit where a play is being presented. He is a good actor, and will make the most of his abilities. The big play, “The Merchant of Venice,” also starred William Hinkel who took the part of the rich Jew’s daughter, Jessica. Once again Ralph Price came forth taking the part of Gratiano who constantly found pleasure in ridiculing the old Jew. We now present another newcomer to the Girard stage: Christopher Wheeler doing a marvelous piece of work in portraying to us a Duke of Venice. Bruce Allen also played again in this play. Bruce is also gifted as an actor, and we hope he will capitalize his abilities. The last of our series of plays was “Jean Valjean.” In this presentation Alexander Davit, Christopher Wheeler, William Hinkel, and Daniel Shirk played their parts in an excellent manner. Public Speaking also falls in this category of public appearances. Here again, the class was well represented. In the main contest of public speech, the Declamation Contest, Ralph Price won first place, and was awarded the honor of Class Speaker. Pop has worked hard for this, and it was one of his ambitions. In the contest, Alexander Davit and William Hinkel also spoke. The speeches were well delivered and much credit is due the writers. A high calibre of Sunday evening report was established during the past term. The members who carried this difficult job were William Gillen, William Hinkel, Albert Rodgers, John Banning, Arthur S. Englebach, Ralph L. Price, Philip Cohen, Alfred Schmidt, Robert Franey, Robert Andrew’s, and Alexander J. Davit. Our class has made fine progress in the field of public speaking. We ex¬ tend our most sincere thanks to Mr. Andrews, who never ceased to correct and urge good public appearance on the stage and behind the desk. We also voice our appreciation to Miss North for her splendid cooperation in making the plays in which we have played a great success. We also thank those who worked in our debates and informal meetings. At the Turn of the Road Under the Baton D ID YOU ever stop to think what we would do without music? In its ability to create a spirit of agitation or peacefulness, happiness or sorrow, and love or hatred, lies the secret of why we desire and enjoy music. Whenever we are joyous and happy, we naturally give way to singing or whist¬ ling. If we are sad and downcast, there is a kind of music to express that mood. Every feeling of man has been put into a tune or melody of some sort. Even a savage expresses his emotions through music, no matter how crude the form. Thus one can see that the imitative powers of music are indispensable to civilized man and savage alike. In Girard we have been given the opportunity to build a strong foundation for appreciating the pleasures of this art. From the very first day that we entered the College, we have been in constant contact with singing. In the class¬ room we learned that “Every Good Boy Does Fine,” and then applied this and other fundamentals to the songs used in the assemblies or in the Chapel. As we advanced in years, we joined that wonderful “catch club” called the Junior Hundred. There will forever remain in our memories the awe-inspiring Christmas Concerts in which we participated under the “ivy covered tower.” Then, too, we thoroughly enjoyed those annual trips to Woodside Park. Shortly after our class left the Junior Choir, the beloved old Chapel was torn January 1935 II down, to be replaced by a beautiful and larger House of Worship. During this period of construction, some of our class overcame the usual snags confronting young musicians and became vital members of the Band and Orchestra. Then after we had become accustomed to seeing the majestic form of the new Chapel, and the musical organizations had come back into their own, o ur class broke into the ranks of the great Girard College Glee Club. Each term since then more of us became members so that at graduation we have twenty- seven singers in the C hoir who have the ability to “get their nose over it.” The excellent work of Bruce Allen, Robert Franey, Joseph Abaldo, Daniel Granato, Arthur Hedden, Calvin Morgan, Alfred Schmidt, and William Starr in the first tenor division will long be remembered. Rivaling the firsts in the singing of the thin tenor register we find William Hinkel, Roy Jones, Daniel Shirk, Albert Rodgers, and Arthur Englebach as second tenors. And who can forget the rich mellow tone of our baritones, namely, Vincent Mareletto, Fred Fiala, Ralph Price, Harold Farrington, Joseph Kane, Guy Di- Cenza, Irving Richards, and Edward Westman? On the bottom of the musical scale (lost but not forgotten among the deep bass notes) Samuel Place, William Kirkpatrick, Christopher Wheeler, John Banning, Philip Cohen, Johnny Fuller, and John Steen have added a great deal of strength to the second bass section. By hard work some of our representatives in the instrumental music organi¬ zations rose to be officers in their last term. Fred Fiala, Captain; William Kirk¬ patrick, First Lieutenant; John Banning and Vincent Mareletto, Second Lieu¬ tenants ; and Alphonso Rucinski served in the Band. In the Orchestra, Arthur Englebach acted as Student Leader, Antonio Nelli as Assistant Student Leader, and Albert Rodgers as Third Officer. Robert Fra¬ ney and Edward Westman, members until the end of S-l, were missed considerably when they left. There was one boy, Robert Andrews, who made a fine showing in the piano class. As the singing of Good Night and Christmas Prayer brought to a close the nineteenth Christmas Concert, our participation in Girard musical life was prac¬ tically over. To our directors in these activities, we extend our thanks for their patience and untiring efforts to give to us the best that they could, which to us was unsur¬ passable. We are bound to forget many of our classroom lessons in geometry and history, but the music in our souls will live with us forever. To express it in the simplest words, we appreciate the chance which Girard has given us to enjoy the satisfaction that music creates. 12 At the Turn of the Road The Cadets H OW many times have we waited with drawn breath towards the close of Monday or Friday afternoon when a small boy would walk into the room and the teacher would say, “No drill today, boys!’’ From the back of the rooms came sighs of relief, and from the offices indignation; but from our battalion came some of the happiest moments of our activities. We are proud when we see our company win first place in competitive drill, but we laugh as we tell stories of how the lieutenants made mistakes during practice. The ( battalion gives ample opportunity for pride and humor, and pride and humor give the battalion a kind of charm. We had William Hinkel as Captain of Company A during his Senior-One term, and Edmund Prettyman as Captain of the same company in his Senior- Two term. In Company B, we had Ralph Price as Captain, and for Company D we had Samuel Enoch. As officers under Captain Hinkel, Adams and Pretty- man served as lieutenants during their Senior-One term. Tobias Koch served as lieutenant during his Senior-Two term under Captain Price, and Philip Cohen as lieutenant of Company C. In the capacity of sergeant we had Jones, DiCenza, Richards, Pritchard, Starr, Kane, and Steen. These men brought honor and credit to the standing of the class. On looking at the staff of the battalion we find Calvin Morgan as Coloi Sergeant, William Gillen as Quartermaster, and Alexander Davit as Adjutant. Gillen and Davit both served at their respective posts also during their Senior- One and Senior-Two terms. Daniel Shirk also served as Battalion Supply Ser¬ geant in Senior-One and Sergeant Major in Senior-Two. Bruce Allen served as Color Sergeant on the staff. Turning to the individual drill competition, we have Bruce Allen capturing January 1935 13 first prize in his Junior-Two term, Roy Jones receiving first prize in his Senior- One term, and Joseph Abaldo second prize in the same contest. Some people think that military work is unpleasant, but we have enjoyed it, and we hope the “batty” will continue to mean as much on the field as it ha ' s up to the present time. Evenings in Society O UR social life in the College has been one of happy hours that will be long- remembered. And these hours have not been spent in vain. They have developed poise and a “mixing” inclination among us that boys should have and enjoy. Well, this would be almost all the social etiquette we needed if we all intended to be bachelors. But it is doubtful if such is the desire of all forty-eight mem¬ bers of our class. Yes, we all vow at present to be happy and free all our lives, but on May 20, 1945, at least half the Class of January ’35 will return to the Col¬ lege with the express intention of showing their wives and families where they were raised and where they went to school. And maybe it was with this faraway objective in view that we took the first step in learning how to conduct ourselves well among our girl friends. This step matured in the form of our four class dances. They were, to be sure, quite infor¬ mal affairs, and of a very modest nature. Still, they leave a happy memory in our rninds, and bring smiles to our faces whenever we think of them, and of the many humorous events accompanying them. Modest and inexpensive as they were, it is 14 At the Turn of the Road doubtful whether we could ever get the same group together again in its entirety and enjoy ourselves as we did those four nights. Our Junior-One affair was a happy experience. We met an entirely new circle of friends in an utterly strange situation. Our first social, we had to fall into the best routine we knew and adjust ourselves to the enjoyment of dancing. And how the class adjusted itself! There was little or no bashfulness on the part of anyone. The boys and girls were evenly balanced so that it was unnecessary for anyone to sit out a dance. It was a great affair enjoyed by everyone. Contrary to what usually happens at school dances, interest did not decrease after the Junior-One social was over. In December of 1933 we had an excellent Christmas dance, and in the following May one dedicated to Mothers’ Day. And then, in October of 1934, it was our privilege, as the Senior Class, to open the dances for the term. With entirely new decorations and the extension in time of the dance, we enjoyed ourselves for a full evening. But still, we had the feeling that this was our last dance as a class. Of course, we may attend dances outside on some occasions now, but we can never replace the ease and familiarity of our class socials. And always behind us, aiding us in our dances, was our group of hosts and hostesses. To Messrs. Wagner, Durboraw, and Baker we extend our thanks. And our gratitude goes also to Mrs. Thaddeus Weglarski and Miss Adele Jung; as hostesses they were of the best. January 1935 15 Man to Man Because of the smallness of the Class of January 1935, it might be supposed that there would be a corresponding decrease in the number of our lettermen. We can point with pride, how¬ ever, to our record on the ath¬ letic field as being on a par with many of preceding classes. There is a total of forty-two let¬ ters in our class, divided among twenty letter men. The leading athlete of the class is Sam Place, holder of three swimming letters and one soccer letter. Sam went in for swimming three years ago and gained a letter for himself in three successive seasons. Then last fall he dropped swimming .for soccer, and, after playing the season at fullback, came through with his fourth letter. Johnny Fuller was next in line with three letters. Besides being captain of both the soc¬ cer and basketball squads in his senior year, Johnny has the dis¬ tinction of being the only man in the class with a letter in baseball. Alf Rucinski, Joe Abaldo, Johnny Steen, Joe Kane, and “Greek” Granato also are three lettermen. Johnny has all three letters in swimming, and in his senior year he captained the team. He is also a holder of a college swimming record. Joe Abaldo has two letters in track and one in soccer. Alf Rucinski has one each in track, soccer, and basketball.“Greek” Granato has a letter in each of the same sports. Joe Kane is another swimmer, having won his letters in that sport three years in a row. When we consider the two lettermen, we find Calnan, Adams, Koch, Clausius, Mocharniuk, Wheeler, and Lockhart. Adams, Clausius, and Wheeler each have a letter in track and soccer. Calnan, Koch, and Lockhart have their two in soccer and basketball. Nick Mocharniuk won both of his letters in track, after proving to be a good miler for two seasons. The class has six men with one letter each. They are Pritchard, Hedden, 16 At the Turn of the Road Morgan, Enoch, DiCenza, and Franey. Pritchard and Hedden were managers of the basketball and swimming teams respectively, while the remaining four fel¬ lows played varsity soccer. That is our record. We have not had an outstanding athlete far above every one else, but we have had a good representation on every squad in the College for the past two years. Almost half the class are lettermen ; we are not ashamed of our record. No heights of distinction, however, have been scaled. The foun¬ dation has been laid ; greater things may still be laid upon it. The National Honor Society They walked about the campus in sprightly fash¬ ion, and justly so, for shining on their coats was the emblem of the National Honor Society. These were the first of our class to receive the coveted honor, namely, Ralph Price, who became presi¬ dent in his Senior-Two year, Arthur Englebach, who became vice-president in his same term, and William Hinkel, who served as secretary during the last term. A term later, two more walked about in a purer air. Yes, they had also been inducted into the Girard Chapter. These two lads were Philip Cohen and Robert Andrews. Again a member of the Senior Class was noticed with his head at an uncommon angle and the ca¬ pacity of his lungs greatly increased. Tobias Koch had become a member of this select group. Under their exemplary and able leadership, the society has kept to the fore¬ front the truly primary objective of a worthwhile educational process: the devel¬ opment of character which expresses its value in helpfulness to all. Under Mr. Mcllhatten’s supervision, the society is exercising this helpfulness by doing its best to rid the school of its blackest mark—conditions. Every member of the Girard Chapter has sacrificed personal time and pleasure to improve the records of the school. This work has brought tangible results. The recla¬ mation of conditioned boys from the October special study hour list was 56 per cent successful, and for the month of November, the percentage had mounted to 65 per cent. We trust that all Girard boys honored with membership in the National Honor Society will ever strive to live up to their pledge: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and of my life.

The only thing that we have against Pop is that he is a Pennsy-Dutchman.

There’s an old saying that when a good looking man is around the girls all fall for him. We would change it to read, “When there are good looking girls around, Broadstock falls for all of them.” He has his own bookkeeping system, and his own “gravity theory” also. 3k 4S: JOHN J.

HERRICK, President of Girard College, whose guiding hand has smoothed our way for the last nine years, we respectfully dedicate this book. June 1935 3 T HE last strains of the Farewell Song have faded into silence and have joined the myriad of tender and poignant memories that can only be resurrected in the new light of reminiscence. Slowly the Class of June 1935 passes through the outer gates. The huge gates shut with a clang, like a metallic warn¬ ing of grim reality awakening us from a reverie of memories and regrets. For nine years those gates have shut upon us from the opposite direction, breaking up our connection with the outside world. For nine years we have lived behind high, protecting walls. For nine years we have had everything handed to us. Now we are entering a new and chaotic world, strange and uncer¬ tain even to those who have faced it for years. The vast economic machine of our country has cracked under the weight of misdirection, and in the crash it has taken a toll of many who were experienced in the world of reality. What are we who have never faced this world to expect ? We who have stood en masse so far removed from the stressing conditions of the outside world must now stand alone and face its indifference to us. No one can enter upon such a world without experiencing a tinge of fear, puzzlement, grimness, and unhappiness. All the associations we have cherished are suddenly cut off. We have one consolation, however. The world we are about to enter is not a superficial one. We will be judged by honest standards. The modern world has no place for maudlin sentiment or partiality. Character, ability, and train¬ ing are expected. With these the Girard graduate is well equipped. The excellent training of the last nine years must now come to a test. Has what has been done for us dulled our own resourcefulness? That is the challenge. 4 The Record Battalion P ASS in review!” As these three welcome words of the adjutant floated across the parade grounds for the last time, an involuntary sigh of relief arose from the im¬ mobile ranks. To the tired cadets these three words were a signal of the end of parade and a release from the rigid discipline of the battalion. But the members of the graduating class, taking part in their last parade, greeted the command with a sigh of regret. True, it was the end of rigid discipline; but strangely enough, a discipline they had learned to love. Here come the sweeping ranks past the reviewing stand. Company D leads, and as Captain Patrick McLaughlin’s sabre flashed in a salute, the marching ranks execute a snappy “eyes right.” From the cool lines of khaki we pick out a few members of our own class: Second Lieutenant James Moran, Supply Ser¬ geant Richard C. Henry, Sergeants Howard Kirk and Albert Pioso. Company B in next, and we find four more members of our class: Supply Sergeant Donald Smith, Sergeants Robert Brown, William Norris, and George Tapper. We raise our hands to a salute as the colors pass, and at the same time recognize Color Sergeants Russell Marshall and John Mooney. Company C, led by Captain Russell Hess, boasts the membership of Supply Sergeant Charles Welton and Sergeant Thomas James who had the additional honor of winning second prize in the single competitive drill. William Gable, of Company A, is our only other classmate holding the position of captain, and David Kirsh, Lieutenant, the sole member occupying a staff position. As the last echoes of “Retreat” die away, our classmates leave the ranks with unwilling feet and heavy hearts, and sadly lock up the uniforms they have so often worn. National Honor Society schools have their students who stand out and are given recognition for their excellent character. Here at Girard, as at numerous other schools, we recognize such qualities as Leadership, Service, Scholarship, and Character by a membership in the National Honor Society, do be a member of this small select group is the dream of every Girard boy, the ideal of our student body. Every semester the names of the new members are announced. To those who are elected comes a feeling of satisfaction and of accomplishment. But the Society members are not left to rest on their laurels; they are called upon to aid those fellows who have not reached the required standards in their studies. Along with other volunteers, they go out of their way often to help these fellows. In June 1935 5 doing this service they not only do much good in others’ behalf, but they improve the scholastic record of Girard. In our class we have eight fellows who have attained the honor of making the Society. In our Junior-Two term Carl Michaels, Russell Hess, and Patrick McLaughlin became members. The faculty made an excellent choice when they cho§e these classmates of ours. All three stood high in scholarship, and in addition were active in malny extra-curriculum activities. Russell Hess is not only Valedictorian of our class, but a Captain in the battalion, and a leader in sports. Pat McLaughlin was a Captain in the battalion, and excelled in literary, oratical, and dramatic work. Carl Michaels, a possessor of the also coveted American Legion Medal, was a class officer twice, and leader of the orchestra. When in December of 1934 the next elections were held, we were rewarded with only two members. Joseph Hutt and George A. Tapper secured the coveted honor this time. Again both stood high in scholarship. Joe Hutt was Third Honor man of the class, an officer in the Band, and twice Business Manager of the class. George Tapper, President of our class in Senior-One term and Treas¬ urer in Junior-One, demonstrated his versatility by being active in practically every activity the College has to offer. In our Senior-Two term we had the good fortune of having four members of our class make the Society. They were Kenneth Bower, Edward Peters, William Parry, and James Moran. All of these boys had excellent records in scholarship. Bower was noted chiefly for his work on the College publications, while Peters spent most of his time with the Dramatic Club. Bill Parry is our class president and his public service easily merits him a position in the Society. James Moran held class office two times and proved very able in handling the class finances. James also showed his leadership by leading a platoon in the battalion.

June 1935 21 T HE school literary activities have occupied a great deal of the time of many of our class and we may readily say that it was well spent. James Buckley served as President of the Literary Club, helping much in the editing of the Girard Magazine. The associate editors of this publication were George Tapper, John Elliott, Willliam Parry, and Richard Eckard. During the entire term we were well-informed of the happenings in Girard through the News, and we must congratulate Kenneth Bower for editing such an excellent school paper. Nor can we forget Roy Davis as news editor, or Patrick McLaughlin, whose thrilling and accurate write-ups were well worth read¬ ing. So that the alumni might keep in closer contact with the “hum,” Kenneth Bower supplied the Steel and Garnet with campus notes. Patrick McLaughlin came into his prime as head of the Record and we surely are proud of his work. Kenneth Bower, George Tapper, William Parry, Carl Michaels, and Thomas Triol were the other editors of the class book. Aside from the school publications several members of the class won distinc¬ tion in literary contests throughout their high school course. In our sophomore year we all entered the Thrift Essay contest, the winners of which were John Mooney, Kenneth Bower, and Patrick McLaughlin. Coming into the senior year we all tried our luck at writing short stories, the three most successful being Dusan Popovich, George Tapper, and Patrick McLaughlin. On our return from Washington we were required to write our impressions of the trip, and again Dusan Popovich and Patrick McLaughlin took the honors. To Professor George Foust of the News, Dr. A. J. Stewart of the Magazine, and others who aided us in our literary work, we extend our sincere gratitude. 22 The Record T HE CLASS of June 1935 cannot boast of an endless list of lettermen, yet it cannot be said of us that we were inactive. Twenty-seven different fellows participated in the five major varsity sports of the school and shared from thirty to forty letters between them. Many of the fellows didn’t excel in these major sports and therefore did not win the insignia which all are so proud to wear These fellows are athletes too, and the cheers are just as rousing for them as they are for lettermen. Here is our record: Aquarola “G”—varsity soccer, baseball. Berger—varsity basketball. Bower “G”—track. Brotzman—tennis, soccer. G. Brown “G”—varsity soccer, track. R.

The Band with its years of tradition can muse over sixty Founder’s Days. The orchestra, although comparatively recent as an organization, has proved its worth. The Glee Club has built an enviable reputation. Our Class has had more than its share of participation in these excellent organizations. In our lower freshman year a large number of eager boys made application to secure positions in the band. During the senior tern these hopes matured in full. Roy Davis was picked to fill the position of Supply Sergeant in the Senior- One term while “Ed” Peters and “Chem” Klank who performed on the clarinet and euphonium respectively were chosen to serve as Sergeants also. The Senior- Two term found John Elliott, a cornetist of some note, taking over the duties of Captain of the organization. Joseph Butt served as First Lieutenant, and “Sam” Lyke and Herbert Moss as Second Lieutenants. Milton Parfitt was our star drummer. In the orchestra we find “Chin” Triol as Concertmaster during the lower senior term. “Ken” Bower, Williami Lear, and George Brown also rendered valuable service. Carl Michaels ascended the rostrum during the Senior-Two term in the capacity of Student Leader. Harley Brotzman served as Assistant Student Leader, and Maurice Greenburg was a competent Concertmaster. William Jackson occupied the key position of the woodwind section, while James Buckley held the enviable position of Drum Major as well as being leader of the cello section. Passing from instrumental to vocal music we find “Huck” Henry president of the Glee Club. The executive assistants were Thomas Triol, Vice-President; Tames Moran, Librarian, and William Lear, Secretary. Herbert Moss, Donald Smith, Albert Yost, Kenneth Bower, “Sam” Lyke, Patrick McLaughlin, Carl Michaels, Albert Pioso, Howard Kirk, Milton Parfitt, William Jackson, Russell Marshall, Edward Peters, and Roy Davis proved valuable assets to the tenor section. Down among the basses James Buckley, Henry Stapf, John Elliott, Russell Hess, “Chem” Klank, Charles Welton, Jean VanSant, and George Brown did their parts well. Music will probably play a large part in our life when we leave this school. We realize that we have not always “played the game” when it came our turn to bat. But, for all our shortcomings, our teachers, we know, have worked doubly hard to make up for them. We wish to take this occasion to thank Mr. Carey, Mr. Frey, Mr. Banks, Mr. Pfouts, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. Cullen for their untiring efforts and excellent work. June 1935 25 1 Dramatis Personae I V OICE is the immortal instrument of God,” some one has written, and under the skilled tutoring of Mr. Henry V. Andrews we have come to know the latent possibilities of the heavenly-inherited instrument. Indeed, the auditorium still echoes with the voices of our classmates who have ascended the speaker’s rostrum or spoken across the footlights. Dicken’s immortal “Christmas Carol” brought us the first glimpse of the class’ most accomplished actor in the person of Edward Peters, who portrayed the part of Bob Thatcher. Since then “Ed” has appeared in a variety of roles that have proved not only his acting ability but also his versatility. The next spring, when the curtains opened on Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice,” we found three members of our class on the stage. Edward Peters again held a role, that of Salarino, this time accompanied by Dusan Popovich, as Salanio, and Roy Davis, who portrayed a difficult female part. In the 1934 Christmas play, Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” Edward Peters appeared again, as Francois, the Bishop’s servant. In our Senior-two term the Dramatic Club presented “Stephen Girard,” in whose cast three of our classmates played leading roles. The part of JFean Duval, Girard’s sea captain was carried by Edward Peters with a dash, suavity, and nonchalance almost worthy of Maurice Chevalier. When Dusan Popovich appeared in the role of the staid Quaker bookkeeper of Girard we gasped, feeling that he was badly miscast in such a role, but “Pop” played the part with such con¬ vincing reality that we wondered if we had not misjudged him. Patrick McLaughlin, making his first appearance as an actor, played the part of Charles Pomeroy, the swaggering bully, with an ease that showed him to be an actor of merit. The Declamation Contest was held in our Senior-one term, and three of our members qualified for the finals, an exceptional record for a lower Senior class. Russel Hess spoke on “Miracles of a Mechanical AgeJames Buckley on “The Pioneer Spiritand Patrick McLaughlin on “The Idealism of Woodrow Wilson.” Patrick McLaughlin and James Buckley won second and third prizes, respectively. For this and his other accomplishments in public speaking Patrick McLaughlin was chosen C lass Speaker. 26 The Record Along Memory’s Road 27 FOUNDER’S HALL 28 Along Memory ' s Road THE HIGH SCHOOL Along Memory ' s Road 29 30 Along Memory ' s Road GOOD FRIENDS THE JUNIOR SCHOOL BUILDING Along Memory’s Road 31 THE ARMORY 32 Along Memory ' s Road THE MECHANICAL SCHOOL
