LEECH To Principal Carl G. Leech, the wise teacher, able leader, and capable administrator, this annual is respectfully dedicated. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER S One is glad to know that life has its milestones. After all, the things we remember the longest are those which stand out most vividly, either because thev arc spectacular, because they were events or persons bringing sorrow or joy, or because they were things we worked hard to attaim Xow the Senior Annual very happily fulfills all of these conditions, since who can doubt that it is spectacular; or that it is potentially able to bring joy to loyal Seniors and grief to those who have incurred the wrath of their fellows, if there be any; or that many have worked hard, very hard, to make it a success? Therefore, one more milestone is passed, one more memory is stored away. The class history no doubt will be an enumeration of all such events and memories. From my point of view, I have also many pleasant things in retrospect. One of these is the very marked spirit of co-operation exhibited to me so generally by the Class of 1925. This work-together spirit is simply the oil which makes the machinery of a school move smoothly. Do not misunderstand me—we have had differences, things have not always gone smoothly by any means, but somehow these things fade away in comparison with the fine spirit the class has shown. Another pleasant memory will be of the evidences of growth in the class, as a unit and as individuals. We sometimes think we remain the same, but of course that is impossible. Physical growth is taken for granted. 1 see in many members of the class a true growth in skill in various types of school work or in special activities, that will mean much to their future enjoyment; I see in others a growth in stability of character, a tendency to “settle down” to the business of getting an education; I see in others a growth in social qualities, in that open friendliness that makes for happiness; 1 see in others a broadening viewpoint, a tendency to find new interests and new friends. Perhaps the most outstanding development I have noted in the class and in it’s members has been the evidence of worthy leadership and of unselfish service to the school. To name individual members of the class who have “done their bit” or who have led the way to finer things in the school would be like calling the class roll. It is this quality of service to one’s school that makes school mean more to the students and makes the school remember its students. I feel that I can sincerely say the Class of 1925 left the school a better school than it was when they became Seniors. We can ask only that their loyalty to the school as alumni will be equal to their loyalty as students. CARL G. LEECH. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 7 JantlUj CARL G. LEECH, Principal Mathematics S. W.

ANDREWS GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL V iEtiitnrial A short time ago, one year to be exact, the first graduating class of Glen-Nor High School went forth from the portals of her Alma Mater to face the world. And now another class, the short and happy years of high school finished, follows. Clothed in the armor of Self-Reliance and armed with the keen blade of Knowledge, we go forth, as did the knights of old, to do battle with all who may interfere with us on our road to success. Our paths to this goal are varied: Some go to the great factories: some to the offices: some to higher institutions of learning: but the goal of all is Success. And when that goal is reached, and on the long and tortuous road to that goal, we will all look back in pleasant reminiscence on the days we spent preparing for the journey. e are happy in the knowledge that we have benefitted the school in many ways. Our class has held a large interest in all the activities, and we have done our best to make her light shine afar. May the classes that follow us live up to our precedent, and the glory of Glen-Nor never dim!

As a class we have worked and played together, we have had our trials and tribulations, our success and failures and now we have attained the goal for which we have been striving. Soon we are to separate and our school life here will become a memory —a memory cherished in all our minds, a memory which will linger forever in our happiest thoughts. How could we forget these happy associations and companionships which we have found here? Every one of us dislikes the thought of leaving this school which we have learned to love. We resign in favor of you who will remain at school. School days are the happiest days of all. even though many do not realize this until it is time to leave. May those who follow us take up the work left undone and may they always give the best of loyalty and respect to Glen-Nor. We feel certain you will very capably keep up the traditions and prin- ciples which we have started. We wish you luck with the Senior Benefit night and hope your play will be a great success. We feel sure the student government and school paper will prosper under your care. May your finances increase to those proportions that will enable a long cherished trip to Washington, and we hope you are fortunate enough to have as delightful chaperons as we had. We want to express our appreciation to all our friends and teachers for their untiring efforts in making our school life so happy and worthwhile. But let us lay aside all thoughts of separation which to some are sad and take up the purpose of the evening. We are gathered here together to hear some history and a lot of foolishness. Let us all join in the fun and laugh at everything just to make us feel good. Tomorrow night we will be serious enough. We hope you will all be pleased with the program and again let us say “The Class of '25 Welcomes You.” 22 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL (Class iKistnnj From the lofty dignity of our Senior year we find that the glories of this year have so obliterated our past years that only a few things stand out upon the background of the past. The first great moment of our High School year was when we were told we would have an extra month of vacation because the High School was not completed. Our loyal school spirit was born when' first we saw our boys trot out upon the field at Upper Darby at our first athletic event. Their miscel- laneous attire was very effective especially when compared with Upper Darby’s conventional attire. The Athletic season was not a howling suc- cess for the boys had never played together and Glen-Nor was only young. Our first assembly at Thanksgiving was a forerunner of the fine things Glen-Nor would do in the future along dramatic lines. The first Freshman Reception held in the Century Club of Norwood was our first social affair. “The Little Clodhopper” was our first dramatic presentation. Miss Marker coached it and has held the position of our dramatic coach ever since. We wish to say now how much the class appreciated her interest and wish to thank her. Instead of the Reception to the Freshmen the Upper Classmen gave a reception to the new students and teachrs. I'm sure that the new students felt very much at home after this. “Come Out of the Kitchen” was put on in our Junior year. This play went over fine. Our Class started a precedent by giving the Seniors a reception. This was the event of the year. At the commencement of the year Glen-Nor covered herself with glory by placing a winning team upon the gridiron. The first social event was our Hallowe’en party for the members of the class. The Senior dance followed and was a distinct success. It was our first and last dance and was enjoyed by all who attended. Then we held our Christmas party, the first such affair ever given in our school. The Senior play. “It Pays to Advertise,” was considered the best play ever put on by our class. The basketball season was very successful. The boys covered them- selves with honor as Champions of the Suburban League. The Girl’s Basketball team also played very well with Captain Ada. Gin, Norma, Betty. Marge and Hannah making the team. What will this school do without us. The Washington trip will long be remembered. We were given a big send-off by the Juniors. They appeared in full force at the station bearing gifts of lollipops. We will not give time to an account of this trip as who will ever forget it? We decided that the striking points about Washington was the abundance of bananas, the lack of traffic cops, and most striking of all the quantities of tokens consumed. Our battle crys down there were: “Who has a token” and “Who has change for a quarter?” The class stepped out when we hit Washington—millionaires for a day. The cool way we tipped the waiters, rolled around in Luxor Cabs, made it apparent that our class was used to wealth. The Crier has developed into a much better paper under the able leader- ship of Ed. Smith, one of our most brilliant Seniors. And now that our Commencement Day is here we look back on our happy days at Glen-Nor, and our only regret being that we cannot live our High School days over again. We can wish no greater joy to those who follow us, than to say we hope that their Senior vear will be as happy as ours has been. ESTHER I. MacLEI.LAN, ISABEL M. HAYES. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 23 Jlrnplirrii Cairo Hotel, Washington ,D. C., June 16, 1950. Governor J. Dukes Calhoun, Governor’s Mansion, Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Governor: We are told that formality and deference are due one who has attained political distinction, (and far be it from us to destroy predilections)—thus we have started true to form. But since this epistle has no political bearing, and is merely bridging a space of twenty-five years we have decided that formality is not the proper attitude to assume. So beginning again— Dear Jody: You wrote and asked me about the fate of the class of 1925, but I sup- pose you didn’t know that Mary Wood and I were finishing, and redoing the Mural decorations in the rotunda of the Capital at Washington, so Mary and I will write you this letter together, she supplying what I don't know. Before going any farther, we are making our headquarters at the Cairo Hotel, occupying suite 1129, on the eleventh floor. Do you remember it:' Mary suggests that we begin this review with the most picturesque character our class has thus far produced, namely Wilfred Barnes III, better known as “Cowboy Barnes of the Y ild and Wooly West, where men are men and women are governors. He has made a name for himself busting bronchos, and last summer when Mary and 1 were touring the west, he entertained us for a week at his rancho in Nebraska. It may interest you to know that at present Judge Margaret Myers Hoar is trying the case of Hamilton versus MacLellan. Esther and Donald came to blows over woman’s place and the home. Donald contended that woman’s place was in the home, and, Esther that it was on the political platforms of our country. Ada Patrick and Russel Gibson have been married for many years. Really, Joseph, it is the happiest union we have ever seen. They are raising chickens and children in Jersey. Jimmy Love is turning out free verse by the yard, and is the pride of Greenwich Village, while Jamie is conducting a matrimonial agency in New York. Time weaves a curious pattern, doesn’t it.' Ray Matthias has gained wealth, knowledge, and strangest of all .avoir- dupois Not long ago he was offered a position in the circus, as the “fat man,” but because of his affluence, retirement is his next move. Of course you know that Joe Bonsall is a candidate for the presidency on the working man’s ticket, but perhaps you don’t know why. He fell in love with the White House when we toured Washington in 1925. We were talking to Joe the other day. and he asked us to advertise his cause (you know “It Pays to Advertise”) so just talk about it among your friends and don’t forget to vote for Joe. 24 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL Do you remember “Chick” Crouse? Well “Chick” has been head hunt- ing in Africa for a number of years, but he has returned to the States, and is now supplying the world with fish. Have you heard of the cough syrup entitled “Laugh—don’t Cough?” If you look carefully at the label, you will find the name of the makers, Bourn and Van Alter, Inc. I hear they are quite successful and are coining money. Murray Forbes and Isabel Hayes are still pursuing the course of a platonic love. Murray is a bachelor and Isabel a spinster. Hut Joseph, while there is life, there is hope. Edward Smith is the proprietor of the largest, and most spacious funeral parlor in Chicago. We have never done any business with him, but we are told that he is very efficient. We see by the morning paper that after a ceaseless struggle of 25 years, John Wolf has discovered a method by which nickles can be made into five dollar gold pieces. We hope that this is not newspaper chatter, since we have nickles lying all around. No doubt you have travelled in the famous “Torelli Transcontinental, de Luxe Taxis.” If you haven’t, you must. We used it last summer, and the service was admirable. The trip from New York to San Francisco was made in 24 hours. Frank Phillips is Professor of Mathematics at Harvard and of course has proved most able. Since women have come into their own, Ginny Zane has- become the Director of Public Safety in the City of Philadelphia. Who can forget Ginny and her protectiveness to the girls of the class of 1925. We don’t need to tell you about Hannah Yeakle, no doubt she did quite a bit of electioneering for you in this past election. Just now she’s managing Joe Bonsall’s presidential campaign. Mary Uleau is married and to all appearances successfully. She was in Washington not long ago accompanied by her husband and three charming children. We spent a delightful day together, talking over old times, and the wonderful class we had. Dot Colflesh is conducting an exclusive school for the absent minded. They say that it is the best of its kind in the country. After all, why not. Dot always wanted to be a school teacher. Do you remember Steve McHale? Steve started for a hike to Tahiti, not three weeks ago. You know Jack Parkinson has been in Tahiti for a number of years. He is the only one who realized his ambition of living in that sun-kissed paradise surrounded by nut brown maidens. Steve is going to stop with Jack when he arrives in Tahiti. He started with a nickel in his pocket, and claims that he will have the same nickel when he returns. He expects to keep a diary of his travels and plans to publish it when he returns. Don’t forget to get a copy of the first edition. By the way, Bill Mechesney is playing Hamlet in New York, just at present. He is simply marvelous—a second John Barrymore. You couldn’t possibly have forgotten Norma Quinn. Well Norma is the matron of an orphan asylum! Didn’t that surprise you? Do you remember the will that Norma helped you compile for class night and the gifts Norma brought to her family from Washington? Well. Norma hasn’t changed a bit and the children adore her. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 25 Helen Olsen plans the trips advertised by the Cook Tourist Agency, while Helen Paul manages the financial end of that same famous agency. They are both very efficient and Cooks’ fame has spread far and wide since thev have taken their respective places. Elizabeth Elgin became a misionary to China, immediately following her graduation from Ursinus in 1929. Elizabeth tells me that she likes her work and intends to return to that heathen land this fall. Reba JLdmiston has become an heiress through the death of some ancient relative, but instead of founding a library or anything like that, she has established a dietetic kitchen for the proper nourishment of bony skele- ton-like human beings, and dumb animals. Florence Sparks and Betty Rutter have been managing the Child’s Restaurant Company for several years. They are very capable and at our reunion next year, we are planning to have them procure the food, hoping that it will be cheaper. Well Jody. I think that between Mary and I, we have answered all your questions, even some that you already knew, for we omitted no member of the class. Most all have attained an enviable goal, but that is not strange. I think we knew that long ago. for we were a remarkable class in every way. However, if this letter isn't brought to an end soon, the United States Postal authorities will be charging for weight—so—wishing you all the luck in the world, we are, always the same.

We feel that we would like to leave some of our wonderful achievements (they need no mentioning here) to these striving, ambitious youngsters! It seems only fitting and proper that we should take the liberty, at this time, to bestow that horrible, blood-curdling, ear-splitting nerve racking, loud sounding yard stick to the approaching Senior Home Room Teacher in Room 11. Individually speaking, Yank Phillips leaves to Allan Crawford, his great ability to make touch-downs for Glen-Nor in future years. Esther J. MacLellan leaves her musical ability to Maude Wright. Edward Montgomery Smith deeply and expressively desires to leave his executive ability to William Reed. Betty Rutter wishes to leave her Latin ability to Helen Kenney. Donald Hamilton has condescended to leave his “E’s” to Roma Chap- man. Isabel McDowell Hayes and Murray Forbes are willing to leave their ever-lasting, un-dying fidelity to Anna and Soap! Russell Gibson leaves his giggle to Charles Seiberling. Florence Sparks leaves her domestic ability to Pauline Taylor. Jim Love wishes to leave his stately form to Bill Hazel. Myra Tyson Boyle the only upholder of the “Ancient Order of the Flowing Locks” leaves her long tresses to Sylvia Levit. Raymond Matthias leaves his manly beauty to George Smith. Margaret Hoar leaves her “Shieks” to Frances McHale. Mike Torelli leaves his Ford to Fred Knell so that he won’t have to walk to school next year. Mary Uleau leaves her ability as seamstress to Pauline Calhoun. Carlos Jamieson leaves his wit to Thomas Lancaster. Dot Colflesh leaves her weight to Evelyn Megonigal.

John Wolfe leave s his chemical knowledge to Veronica Walls. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 27 Norma Quinn leaves her punctuality to Samuel Brooks. Chic Crouse leaves his manners as a gentleman to Albert Gysling. Now that the individuals of the Senior Class have willed all their useless characteristics, we as a whole wish heartily to bestow upon you. the Junior Class, all our Wit, Humor, Courage, Strength, Gall, Nerve, Beauty, Talent, Ability. Manners, Interest, Wealth, Health, Wisdom and last, but not least, our Ever-Lasting School Spirit. We hereby appoint as executor of this Will: The Illustrious Personage, Count De Frank Eckert. Signed this 16th Day of June MRS. LEENA, MR. TEENA. MISS FIERCE. We were told the Aztec Garden behind the pan-American Building was a most beautiful backyard. The clock resistered 2.30 A. M. Jamie stepped out of bed. Something seemed to be the matter. He couldn’t see. The window in his room was not even visible. What had happened to him? Surely he hadn’t lost his sight. The doctor had told him to get glasses, but he had not heeded him. He was becoming frantic. He rushed madly to where the door should have been, and stumbled, knocking his head against the wall. When he came to, the room was flooded with light. Ah ! that was it, he had forgotten the electric switch. The latest mystery is—Who stole eddy ? The last long mile—Dragging home from Washington. We thank the Juniors and students of the High School for the fine send- off they gave us. We hope that our honeymoon will give us the same delightful sensation. We are sorry to be leaving the school and depriving the remaining stu- dents of such a rare talent. (This has been said by every class before us and will be said by every class in the future). “Mother,'” said the little five year old Archie, “Come out on the lawn and play baseball with me.” “I Can’t play baseball, dear,” said the fond parent. “Huh”—said Archie—“That’s what comes of havin’ a woman for a mother.” SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 29 imunrs’ JIagr At our first class meeting we organized by electing the following officers: William Hazell..................................President Albert Hoguet..............................Viec-Prcsident Dorothy Barlow........................Secretary-Treasurer Under the guidance of these officers the class has had a most successful year. The first social event of the season in which the Juniors had a part was the reception to the new students. This was held on November 7, 1924, and was a great success. After this came the Junior Dance on the 21st of November. It was one of the biggest events of the year and netted us $41.00 clear. Castle’s Novelty Orchestra furnished the music and with many novel stunts entertained the crowd. It ended up with a grand slinging of confetti and spin-halls. The next big moment in our little lives was the securing of our class rings. The class decided that they wanted them before or as near Christmas as possible. Thus, through the efforts of Veronica Walls, who was chairman of the committee, they arrived shortly after Christmas, and in the classrooms the teachers w6re blinded by the glare of gold. During the Christmas season the Juniors were by no means idle. They not only subscribed a sum of money to the Christmas Cheer Association, but also had a party. The cake and candy were supplied by the girls and the hoys bought the ice cream. Presents were given to every member of the class and some were quite unique. Mistletoe was quite plentiful and quite popular with the hoys. The crowd broke up with everyone exchanging the customary greetings. A crowd of Juniors traveled in to the Broad to see “The Rivals,’' when it was playing in Philadelphia. Everybody had a good time and enjoyed the play to the fullest extent. Later, as you all know, our class presented the same play at Glen-Nor. When the Juniors decided to present “ he Rivals on the 8th and 9th of May, they realized that they had undertaken a hard proposition, but with the usual class spirit, everyone went at it with a will. V ith the invaluable help of Miss Roberts as coach and Miss Markley as sponsor, we were able to put this across successfully and cleared $185.00. The next event of the year was the Declamation Contest, held on the 22nd of May. The representative of the class was Maude V right, who was sponsored by Pauline Calhoun. She spoke in her very best manner and the class was mighty proud of her. The closing event of a delightful term was the Senior Reception. This was held on June 12. 1925. and was carried off in fine style. The music was of the best and the entertainment was appreciated by all. 1 he Juniors were indeed proud to have as their guests the Seniors who have done so much in establishing customs for the school. All these things we have accomplished in our Junior year and now we ire ready to assume the tasks of a Senior. We fully realize that the Class of '25 has set high standards and we assure you that the Class of ’26 will do their best to uphold them. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 31 Waslmutfmt At last tlie big day arrived! The station platform was packed—it looked as if the whole school had come along to wish us bon voyage. Finally the train pulled in and amid showers of confetti and lolly-pops from the jolly Juniors, who, curiously enough, did not seem to he terribly upset over our departure, we climbed aboard and the long anticipated trip was on. A stop was made at Ridley Park to pick up their hunch, who were quite as hilarious as we were, and then the long ride began in earnest. At our arrival at Washington, after taking doubtful leave of our luggage, which was strewn all over the platform of the Union Station, we were packed carefully into buses and hurried off to the Capitol. This was one of our most interesting stops and we enjoyed every minute of it. Here a few members of the party became lost, strayed or stolen, but after a few minutes frantic searching the party was complete again, and we went to the Cairo via the V. R. T. At the hotel we found our bags and were assigned to rooms. Staying at the tallest building in the nation’s capital gave us a quite elevated feeling—especially as we were but two floors from the top. Part of our party—the girls—were located on the topmost floor and had quite a high opinion of themselves. That afternoon we visited Mount Vernon. We spent the afternoon there and when we left via the Potomac we were filled with reverence and awe. The party was especially impressed by the ivy-covered tomb of the country’s first President. The evening was spent at the theatre, after which we retired to our various rooms at the hotel and spent a very quiet, peaceful, serene, undisturbed night. The following morning we visited the Old and New Museums, where we saw many interesting things. After lunch at the Cairo, we visited the White House where we had the pleasure of shaking hands with the President. Next came the Washington Monument. No one was killed in the rush to reach the top of this gigantic edifice, in fact there wasn’t any rush. Every- one walked tip in a very dignified manner and came down in an even more slow and stately way. (Well, maybe it wasn t stately, but any way it was slow). We then sank back with a sigh of relief into the luxurious cushions of two rubber-neck wagons, and set out for the Arlington Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Zoo. On our way to the cemetery, part of the party witnessed the hauling down of the flag by a detail of soldiers while the sunset gun roared and the bugles played retreat, followed by the Star Spangled Banner. This was one of the most impressive sights we saw on the trip. To our regret the Lincoln Memorial was closed, but everybody felt right at home in the Monkey House, at the Zoo. In the evening we spent an hour or so in the Library of Congress, and then separated, some going to a movie, some to the hotel. On Friday we visited the Pan-American Building. Memorial Hall and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. all of which we enjoyed immensely. A few hours were then spent in shopping,etc., after which we departed for the hotel, via taxi, hack and trolley car. At 2.30, the hotel staff gathered together in the lobby and bade us a tearful fare-well as we started for the station, tired, broke and happy. Soon we were listening to the click-click, of the rails as they sped beneath us, and watching the skyline of Washington fade into memories and happy dreams. 32 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL Cl hr drip nf thr i rutnr (ElttBB Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All on the dusty train The Senior class wondered Stormed at with cinder dust ’Till with a hoe they must Remove the outer crust While the train thundered.

It was definitely settled by the scientifically inclined members of the class that Washington did not throw a dollar across the Potomac—even if a dollar did go farther in those days. Not content with the fine rugs provided by the hotel, some of the gang tried to improve them by strewing the contents of a feather pillow over them. The experiment was unsuccessful. What do we care for money? Gimme another cents worth of peanuts. To tell the truth Melve. we usually stand on the bath mat—not dry our face with it.

The girls in room 1128, the Cairo Hotel, at Washington, in order to while away the hours between three and four A. M., unscrewed the knobs from the bedposts and had a lively game of marbles. At the conclusion of the game they spent the rest of the night (?) wondering which knobs went on which bedposts. Anyway we discovered more romances than we knew Glen-Nor con- tained. “There’s nothing like prompt service,” said the waiter as lie spilled the potatoes down Murray’s back. “My sentiments exactly,” said the second ditto as he messed up Jamies suit with a whole tray full of dinner.

For two years the school lias been under Student Government and the results show that it has been highly successful. The Senate’s work has been at times unpleasant and at all times difficult. Still its members have striven to do their best and we appreciate the fact that they have done their work so well and weathered all the storms which they encountered. Last year’s Senate introduced many innovations into the school, all of which were received enthusiastically by the Democracy. This year the innovations include a new traffic system in the halls, partial student super- vision of the study halls, a calendar of events for next year, a weekly news bulletin and others too numerous to mention. All this has incurred much time and trouble and we hope you realize the work which file members of the Senate have expended on your welfare. 38 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL (£lcit-Nm (Erin Glen-Nor High School put out its first school paper, January, 1923. It is not often that a school in the second year of its existence edits a paper. The first issue of most school papers usually comes out not sooner than five years after its establishment. The editorial staff of last year worked very hard to make the Crier what it is today. Martin Mclntire was editor with Wilfred Barnes as assistant. The first year there were 104 subscribers. The total receipts from adver- tisements was One Hundred Sixty-five Dollars ($165.00). The profit was Forty-five Dollars ($45.00). This year Edward Smith took over the work where Martin left off. He not only accomplished as good work as Martin, but improved upon it with the help of the staff and the school till now our paper is on the same standard as others that have been established for many years. The staff this year has worked against many difficulties which they have overcome not by laying down on the job, but by persistent perseverence. Edward Smith at the head of the staff was the incentive for the others. Among the deficiencies which the staff had to meet was the lack of co-opera- tion among the student body. In the last edition of the Crier, Wilfred Barnes, the Business Manager said: “In closing let me say tITat it is my sincere wish that the Glen-Nor Crier will be just twice as good next year as it has been this year, and so on each year, ad finitum. I will not say good-bye, but as a great man once said, “T will not say good-bye but rather. Carry on!' ” SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 39 Hrhatimi In 1925. the Debating Club organized with Joseph Calhoun as President, Pauline Calhoun as Vice-President and Marion Woods as Secretary. This year the club was sponsoring four teams under the direction of Miss Mark-ley and Mrs. Miller. On December 15th, Glen-Nor travelled to Darby. The negative team consisted of Pauline Calhoun. Eldridge Brewster, Catharine McGuire. Although the team worked hard, they went down to defeat. The affirmative team went to Upper Darby and Glen-Nor again lost. The team consisted of Wilfred Barnes, Leona Wolson, Betty Woods and Marcus Torelli, alternate. On February 13th, Glen-Nor won both sides of the debate from Ridley Park. The question was “Resolved that some form of Restriction should be placed upon the Decisions of the Supreme Court. The affirmative team consisted of Myra Boyle, Pauline Calhoun, Donald Hamilton and Charles Hepford. The negative team—Joseph Calhoun, Esther MacLellan, William Denney and William Hazel, alternate. On the first of April, Glen-Nor engaged in their last debate of the year. The affirmative side consisted of Donald Hamilton. Charles Hepford, Myra Boyle and Fred Knell, as alternate. The negative team consisted of Jospeh Calhoun, William Denney, Esther MacLellan and William Hazell, alternate. Glen-Nor was very successful and won both sides of the question. All in all, we think the Debating Club has had a very successful season and deserves credit for working hard and winning four of their eight debates. 40 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL rntnr paij In keeping with the traditions of every High School it is the custom of the Glen-Nor Seniors to support and present the Senior Play, the most impor- tant event of the term. This year the Seniors of Glen-Nor High School were very successful with their production entitled “It Pays to Advertise,” which was selected by a very able-committee. Those interested in value of the publicity of adver- tising must certainly have appreciated the efforts of the actors in this comedy. The public must not forget that this play could never have been produced without the most untiring efforts and kindness shown by one of the fore- most of the faculty. Miss Margaret Marker. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 41 iKtnmatograplitr dlub Due to the efforts and good work of Mr. Irwin and four Seniors. Wilfred Barnes, Marcus Torelli, Stephen McHale and Melvin Van Atter, a Kinemato- graphic Club was organized near the middle of our Junior year. About one month later a new member was admitted namely, John Wolf. After a couple of months projection of some old reels of film, consisting mostly of Washington crossing the Delaware and Romeo and Juliet, three of us were prepared to apply for a license with fair hopes of passing the examination. Mr. Irwin was the first to apply and it was a very notable day when he received his little pink card of authority. The next to take the test were: Wilfred Barnes and Melvin Van Atter, both of whom passed and in turn received their pink card with their picture attached. Then the ambitious six started work on the booth in a very business-like way. The wiring for the exit lights was changed and a suction fan installed in the roof of the booth. The whole booth was rewired and everything put in first class condition. An auxiliary of a thirty-two volt storage battery and a charger was installed. Although we have not had a chance to show the public how much we know, we will leave to the following class a machine and booth to be proud of. We have taken on three or four mem- (be!rs of the Junior class and have given them a few instructions on the operation of the apparatus at hand and we wish them a most prosperous and profitable motion picture career. Senior record number 43 Sramattr (Club This year the first meeting of the Dramatic Club tvas called early in Septem- ber. The names of the new members were recorded and in all we had about seventy-five members. The following members were elected as club officers: President, Edward M. Smith; Vice-President, Joseph Calhoun; Secretary, Reba Edmiston; Treasurer, Maude Wright. The first appearance of the Dramatic Club this year was in the assembly Wednesday, September 24, 1924, when a few members gave a little sketch adver- tising the club. We next aided the Music Department, by helping out in their Christmas Pageant. “His Majesty Bunker Bean,” which was presented on the evenings of Decem- ber 5th and 6th, excelled all former efforts made by the club. Russell Gibson took the part of Bunker Bean and was the star of the evening. Esther MacLellan scored a well-deserved triumph as the “Flapper.” Margaret Hoar and Donald Hamilton as “Mops” and “Pops,” played their parts with remarkable skill. Joseph Calhoun, “the greatest left-hand pitcher in the world,” lived up to his reputation as an actor. Fine acting was also displayed by Maude Wright, as the older sister; Edward Smith, Marcus Torelli, in the dual role of minister and clerk; Virginia Zane, as the Countess; her accomplice, Stephen McHale; Dorothea Colflesh, as the grandmother; Marion Hoguet, the maid; John Wolf, Larabee; Joseph Stevens, an ardent suitor; George Smith, Fred Knell and Jacob Riley. As our Christmas gift to the sailors, the Dramatic Club journeyed in automo- biles to Grays Ferry Naval Home on Tuesday evening, December 30, to give the play, “His Majesty Bunker Bean.” The play went off fairly well and the cast felt as though they had done their part in helping to cheer the lives of those unfortunate fellows. On March 7, through the courtesy of Strawbridge Clothier, the Dramatic Club and the Glee Clubs broadcast a program which consisted of numbers by the Boys’ Glee Club, a piano solo, violin solo and a one-act play. The cast of “The Robbery,” by the Dramatic Club, consisted of Esther Mac- Lellan, Margaret Hoar, Joseph Calhoun and Edward Smith. We take for granted that the program was immensely enjoyed, judging from the telegrams and letters of appreciation the club received. In closing, I should like to say a few words regarding the past year’s work. I wish to thank all the club members for their help and willing co-operation in all we undertook. I also wish to thank the school as a whole for the support which they gave us, and hope as the spirit in the Dramatic Club grows, it will be given even greater support. 44 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL ©rrhestra Under the hands of Miss Jarrct, the Orchestra has developed from a handful of players to quite an organization. In the first two years of our existence we had very few instruments and lacked variety. The violins and saxophones played too large a part,in com- parison with the other instruments. The saxaphone battery has ben cut down to one and the violins divided into first, second and obligato. Added to our old Orchestra are a cello, bass violin and the drums are being developed for next year. Very few entertainments were held that the Orchestra was not called upon to play. They always responded. The Senior Class congratulates you on your success, and wishes you the best of luck in the coming years. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 45 duria’ (Sir? (Club The Girls’ Glee Club of Glen-Nor started a very successful year last fall under the direction of Miss Jarret. There are 37 girls who have all done their utmost to better the musical department of our school. This year they have rendered some beautiful selections for us in assem- blies which we know everyone enjoyed. They have also participated in enter- tainments given at Glenolden and Norwood. The Operetta was proof of the talent we have in our school and it has shown itself to be the best and greatest thing Glen-Nor has ever had. Everyone was interested because it consisted of the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs, and the Orchestra. The assistants to Miss Jarret were: Miss Roberts, Miss Rambo, Miss Drummond and Miss Annable. The Seniors wish the Glee Club a very successful season next year and greatest happiness in all they may do. 46 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL Hoys’ Q lrr (Elub The Boys’ Glee Club has had, as you all know, a very successful season under the very capable leadership of Miss Jarret. They sang at several social functions in both boroughs and, judging from the way they were received, were enjoyed very much by the people. The leading thing of the school year was the Operetta. “The Bells of Beaujolais.” This was produced by the combined Glee Clubs and Orchestra. All the coaching was done by Miss Jarret and Miss Roberts and Miss Rambo. All those concerned worked very hard and I think the production was worthy of the effort. The scenery, very beautiful and picturesque, was the work of a few tenth grade art students. The Senior Class wishes you the best of luck in the future and also that you may be able to retain your teacher and leader, Miss Jarret. MANAGERS AND CAPTAINS GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 49 (girls Haaketball The girls’ basketball team of 1925, has made a name for itself in girls’ athletics. They are known not only for their ability to play basketball, but for their good sportsmanship. Everybody that has seen the girls play, praises them for the way in which they have accepted defeat along with victory. Not many teams can claim anything like this. Four members of the Senior class received their letters for basketball. “Gin Zane was the star forward and “Norm” Quinn was the other forward. None could equal Captain Ada Patrick, as jumping center. Betty Rutter was the guard from the Senior class. The other girls on the team come in for their share of praise, too. Marion Lombard, of the Junior class was side center and was always on the job and where she was needed. Martha Corter was the other guard and was always there when needed. T he last two will be with Glen-Nor for another year and with the aid of the other girls on the squad will earn more laurels for Glen-Nor in the field of athletics. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER SI Itankrthall The basketball season this year has been the most successful thus far. The Glen-Nor Quintet captured the suburban championship of the B division by a streak of victory. Jimmy Love our captain entered Glen-Nor from West Philadelphia High and immediately made his mark in all sports. Arriving late for football, Jimmy came out for basketball and immediately became a regular. His steady, consistent work and amiable personality were the causes that led him to the captaincy of the 1925 basketball team. Too much credit cannot be given Jimmy, for Glen-Nor’s victorious season. It would take up'too much space to detail in full the creditable features of last basketball season. The general excellence of the team can be seen by the number of men that Glen-Nor placed on the AllSuburban Team. For the All-Suburban first team, Jimmy Love was picked as captain and forward, Sammy Brooks, our high scorer, was selected as the guard and Brennan, our dependable centre, captured the All-Suburban centre. Phillips, not flashy, but dependable and consistent, made the All-subur- ban second team. McCarter, our flashy forward, also made the All-Suburban second team, and Forbes received honorable mention. This proves that all our men were of All-Suburban calibre. Much credit is due our manager Charles W. Crouse who successfully arranged all the games and kept the fellows in the best spirits at all times. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER S3 JtaotbaU Football in Glen-Nor claims an odd distinction—it is older than the school itself by one month. Mr. Irwin posted notices in Glenolden and Norwood announcing practice would start on Labor Day. That was in 1922. On September 20th, of that year we played Upper Darby. We were defeated 20-0. Not so bad for our first start. We really deserved to win that game, but due to a green center and many fumbles we were robbed of a victory. On Thanksgiving day, of 1922, we journeyed to Quakertown, Mr. Miller’s old Alma Mater. Here we took an awful beating, 40-0. On that team the first year three Seniors played: Captain Yank Phillips, Charles Crouse and Joe Bonsall. After a year of much talk and prophesies, the 1923 season rolled around, “We are going to be the Champs” we all predicted. Well, we weren’t the Champs, but we had a fairly successful year by winning 4, losing 5 and tying 2 games. The big downfall that year was the trimming Ridlev handed us. 33-0. Then the big year 1924, came along and with it came a new coach, Mr. Emile II. Huber, fresh from State College. Mr. Huber was line coach and he picked the biggest boys on the squad for the forward line; his choice was: McCarter, Ilazell, Myers, Gysling, Crouse, Parkinson, Love, Faulkner and Bonsall. To Mr. Irwin was left the hard job: to select a backfield that could keep step with the line. For the line was good. Mr. Irwin’s final selections were: Captain Phillips, Forbes, Hoguet, Sauers, Brennan and Sieberling. This team literally cleaned up everything. Robbed of the decision in the first game, we kept right on trying and in the second game we beat Chester for the first time. Six games in a row were won and we were not scored on until we played P. I. D„ on November 14th. They, by a series of lucky runs managed to win by 16-6. Next, on November 21st, we' met the strong Swarthmore Prep. Team with ex-Captain Almeron Rose, ’23, as their quarterback. We managed to beat them, 13-0 in a hard battle. The Ridley game—Oh! bow we waited for it, it seemed that it would never come. The townspeople collected money for a band and the stage was all set for a gala day. It was Thanksgiving Day morning; there was an awful crowd at the field. Mr. Irwin was talking to the players, and they understood what it means—“A Championship”-—Glen-Nor’s first. The teams trotted on the field. It was a fearful struggle. Glen-Nor was ever being outplayed and no less than six times did we stop Ridley on the goal line. For three whole periods the game was scoreless, but the lighter Glen-Nor boys were fast weakening. There were but two minutes of the game left when Greenberg the stellar Ridley halfback crashed over for a touchdown. The Championship was their’s. Many people have said that they never saw a High School boy play a better game of football than Captain Yank Phillips played that day. lie was wonderful. He was everywhere—the Bulwark of the Defense. The main cog of the offense. Too much praise cannot be heaped on Phillips, for in the three years that Glen-Nor has had football teams, Yank has been captain twice and has been the outstanding star of every team. Our coaches—they are the two main reasons why Glen-Nor had a suc- cessful season. Mr. Irwin, our head coach has been with us for three years now, he is the “Daddy of Glen-Nor Sports.” And the ideal of everyone who knows him. Mr. Irwin worked early and late, even in the two years that he had a losing team. He had no help whatever, until last year, when Mr. Huber came as line coach. Mr. Huber is a graduate of Pennsylvania State College and this was his first year of coaching and the line that he developed was known far and wide as one of the best defensive lines in High School ranks. I do not think that there are any better coaches in existence than ours; let us all hope that they will be with us for many years. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 55 Haitthall Glen-Nor has now finished her third and most successful of baseball. But before plunging into the particulars of the 1925 season, it may be well to refresh our memories with a short review of the two past seasons. The first year we won three games, tied one, and lost eleven. Of the thirteen men on the squad, nine won their letters: Phillips. Fishman. Faulkner. Brooks, Hoguet, Hawkins, Rose, McIntyre and Sheller. The second year’s team played a better all-around brand of baseball than the first year's team. In fact, we were told time and again that we had the best infield in the league. The team average, in games won or lost for the season, was .570. Twelve men made their letters: Faulkner, Fishman, Phillips, Brooks, Rose. Jamieson, Hoguet, Hawkins, Coutant, Bailey, Lenz and Metz. 1 he third and present season of baseball has been an extraordinarily success- ful one for Glen-Nor, and this, despite the fact that we have the smallest squad of our entire career, composed, in all, of twelve men. Frank Phillips is captain. It is his second baseball captaincy, and his fifth athletic captaincy in Glen-Nor. Bill McChesney is manager. Carlos Jamieson, another Senior, is first-string catcher. The team has developed quite a bit in regard to its hitting, for the team average this year has been .300, while Sam Brooks, our snappy shortstop, has batted .520, which puts him in a class with Roger Hornsby. The fielding average of the team this year was .750. We can see how our team has developed when we look back at our former ones. At Upper Darby two years ago fifteen balls were hit to the outfield which were not even touched by our fielders. At Swarthmore Prep one year ago, one of our pitchers walked six men and hit two in one inning—a record. However, this year the results are different. The team has lost but one game out of ten starts. The school to which they lost they easily beat a few weeks later. So you see, our team is really of championship caliber. 56 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL (SIrark Track practice started this year on March 30th, under the coaching of Mr. Huber. About twenty-five answered the first call, but soon the squad was cut down to fifteen. When the time came for our first meet, which was at Lansdowne, every- body was in fine shape. At this meet we did not win any high scoring trophies, but we did our best. Seiberling started oflf by winning fourth place in the 220 yard dash finals. The relay team followed with another fourth place. Love scored another point when he placed fourth in the shot put. When the javelin throw was over, Forbes had won with a heave of 145 feet, eight inches. Our total number of points was eight, which is better than some larger schools d;d. The following Saturday our relay team ran in the Penn Relays, but they did not place. At the Swarthmore Inter-scholastics our only points came when l’onsall placed second in the pole vault. The Lower Merion Meet turned out better. In this meet Bonsall again took second place in the pole vault, while Forbes took second in the javelin and Love took third in the shot-put. SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 57 (Erutus The tennis team was hard hit by graduation last year, only two veterans, Crouse and Forbes remaining. However, there was some promising material and it looked like a good year coming. Mr. Irwin was hampered in his coach- ing by lack of courts and bad weather. The tennis team has the unique record of not having lost a match until this year. This year however, the handicap of lack of courts proved to much for the team. A tournament was arranged, but was not played owing to aforesaid conditions. This compelled coach Irwin and manager Forbes to pick a team, this usually being a makeshift varsity. Captain Crouse, Forbes and Hamilton have shown up well to date having won most of their sets. Sad to say of twenty-six matches scheduled last year, only five were played and of twenty-two scheduled this year, only three have been played, so far. Although Forbes, Hamilton and Crouse are leaving this year, the pros- pects of next years team look pretty good. 58 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL (Uu' IfrfS “The Bees” is a printing club that meets in Glen-Nor shop. They have printed during the past year for student activities, over sixteen thousand tickets and about fourteen thousand posters. They have taken care of many different office forms totaling more than fifteen thousand impressions. These forms include 4000 library passes. 4500 attendance reports, 1000 schedule cards. The first half of the year an Activities Calendar was published weekly on a blotter. This later gave away to a weekly newspaper called The Glen-Nor News. The News was sponsored by the Senate, is reported by the “Crier” stall and published by The Bees. All expense for the newspaper is borne by The Bees and they feel that it is a contribution to Glen-Nor, such as is found only in our large High Schools. The small amount of equipment makes necessary a small membership. The members are: Richard Briscoe, president; Elwood Revell, secretary; John Lancaster, Frank Lawrence, iola Coutant, Robert Brooks, Fred Lewis, Warren Matthias, John J. Swan, of the faculty. itmurr In Glen-Nor we have no Valedictory, Salutatory, etc., but have instead a local chapter of the National Honor Society. Thus, instead of one or two persons receiving all the honors, they are distributed evenly to those who deserve them. To be elected to this Society is one of the greatest honors that Glen-Nor can bestow, and is by no means an easy one to attain. Only 15% of the class may be elected and all must stand in the upper fourth of the class in scholar- ship. Membership is also based on Service, Leadership and Character. The members are selected by committee of the faculty who carefully consider the qualifications of each student eligible before announcing their choice. As we mentioned above, no Valedictorian or Salutatorian is named, but a special certificate is presented to the two members of the class who have the highest averages. We regret that we cannot give the names of the Honor Society members here, but at the time of printing they were not yet selected. 60 GLEN-NOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 61 r : i t TO BE A GOOD STUDENT DRINK GOLD MEDAL MILK After School Look for this Sign i !
