The only thing that we have against Pop is that he is a Pennsy-Dutchman. He was probably the one who said, “Button, don’t bell, bump.” It’s all right, Pop, you may only be a coal miner in Tamaqua, but you led in every “vein” in Girard. You came out of the dark, but you certainly stood in the light. ROBERT C. FULLER JOHNNY- 1223 Crease Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

You never hear much from Johnny. He’s too modest to talk about himself most of the time. The rest of the time he’s asleep. Good luck! May the span of your life be as wide as the diameter between your knees. JOSEPH ABALDO 2523 S. Twelfth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

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.
