We have tried to make as complete a record of this year’s activities as possible. We have enjoyed working upon this book, and we hope that you will enjoy reading it.

He was tempted, lie said, to fall hack upon the time-honored formula of hard work, frugal habits, and perseverance. But instead, he hit upon a solution that in his own mind was perfectly clear and which to me appears to be a fair solu- tion of the problem. Tradition, he said, was the keynote of success! If tradition plays such an important part in the business world, how much greater must be its influence in our high school. Glen- Nor is still young. We are unfettered by tradition. But daily we are making history. We are setting up practices that will be followed by many in future years. May tradition, as you shape it, be the kind which you will want future generations to follow. Samuel W. Miller.

Page Twenty-nine Page Thirty Glass r'Plays The Class of “Twenty-seven's first attempt at a dramatic production was Daddy Long Legs”, given in our Junior year. This play, the story of an orphan girl, was coached by Mrs. Margaret Bonsall. Marian Woods had the leading part as “Judy”, the orphan girl, and Rod Smith was Daddy Long Legs”, otherwise known as Mr. Jervis Pendleton. Successful as our Junior Play was, it was an inspiration to do bigger and better things upon the stage, so in February of our Senior year, we “put on” a Shakespearean play, the first pro- duction by that author ever given in Glen-Nor. “The Taming of the Shrew” made a big “hit”, and we felt well repaid for the hard work required to give such a play. Miss Elizabeth M. Roberts coached this play, and had a doubly difficult task, because the girls’ parts were played by two full casts. This was done to give more girls a chance to have a part in the play. Joe Stevens was the blustering “Petruchio”, who demon- strated the correct way of wooing and winning a fiery-tempered girl. “Grumio”, a vest-pocket edition of “Petruchio”, was played by Marshall McCully. Clarice Duke and Kitty Mauger made the part of “Katharine”, the shrew, so realistic that we wonder Joe survived all the rehearsals. Betty Woods and Mary Graul played the part of “Bianca”, Katharine’s shy, quiet sister. It, like the first play we gave, was a great success. Page Thirty-one TT T I IEN we think of our Freshman year, we think of hectic but happy days. m w' We also think of Mr. Swindell, our Algebra teacher, and his Nebraska stories. Many times we were held spellbound by these tales of Jesse James. That year, our social activities were limited. However, we can clearly remember a hike to Secane Woods, where we held a beefsteak fry or a doggie roast or some such thing. Whatever it was we all had a fine time. In this year, we enjoyed our initial trip to Paul Langner’s home, where we were entertained with horseback riding, swimming and tennis. The officers of the Freshman class were: ‘President...........................................................Lee Argall ‘Vice-President.........................................Evans Campbell Secretary................................................Elinor Rutter The first event of the Sophomore year was the reception for the new students. This was open to all members of the Senior High School. It was in the form of a masquerade. As sophisticated Sophomores, we were entitled to a Christmas Party. Very few of the boys could dance then, but they at least walked up anti down the floor. In the spring we were again graciously entertained at Langner’s home. Our Sophomore officers were: President..............................................Joe Stevens Secretary...............................................John Metz Treasurer.............................................Leon Devon In October of our Junior year we indulged in a “doggie roast” at Glen- olden W oods. Accompanied by several teachers, we had a glorious time. In February we held a dance. Since it was a success both socially and finan- cially, we established a good reputation for the Class of ’27. In May, we made our debut in the dramatic world. Mrs. Margaret Bonsall ably coached the presentation of “Daddy Long Legs.” This was a unique play. The closing event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. We are sure the Sen- iors enjoyed this. We must not forget the enjoyable time the class had at a picnic at Langner’s in June. That year the class officers were: President..............................................Bob Hoguet ‘Vice-President.......................................Betty Woods Secretary........................................Constance Seltzer Treasurer............................................Roland Foster During our Junior year, the class suffered the loss of one of its members, Page Thirly-ltco THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 Roland Foster. Although Roland was a new member in our class, he was liked by all his classmates and we felt his loss deeply. The eventful Senior year opened with a Hallowe’en Party, which was given in our honor by the Class of ’29. At Christmas time, we had a gay frolic, at which Tommy Ambler proved himself a charming as well as generous Santa Claus. In November, the class honored the Sesqui-Centennial by condescending to attend it. We went in buses, and incidentally, in the rain. Some of the boys proved to be quite adept at collecting free samples and booklets. We each visited the buildings in which we were most interested and we all met at the entrance at 5 o’clock. Everyone was soaked but we all voted the trip a success. In February, we presented the first Shakespearean production ever given in Glen-Nor, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Through the noble efforts of Miss Elizabeth May Roberts and with the co-operation of the cast, the play was a huge success. We upheld our wonderful reputation by our dance, which pleased all those who attended it. In March, a group of persons from Glen-Nor attended the New York Convention of School Publications. Several Seniors were among the group. Judging from the tales we have heard, they must have taken New York by storm. The Hotel McAlpin served as headquarters for the Glen-Nor group. On April 2, “Senior Variety Nite,” we gave a supper, minstrel show and dance. This affair swelled the fund for our Washington trip. The trip to the ‘Public ledger Building must not be forgotten. We were quite thrilled when we had our picture taken immediately upon our arrival. But what a great disappointment when the picture never appeared in the paper! Never- theless the trip was interesting as well as instructive. On the way home, the bus served as a scene for a fight with some of the sample papers we had received from Mr. Ledger. Oh, that’s right, we each read every word in these papers and then framed them as fond remembrances? ? ? ? ? During our Easter vacation two of our valiant Seniors hiked to Mass- achusetts and back. Of course they were aided by “hops.” The two boys were Joe Miller and Roy Smith. They both gave interesting talks in English Class the following Tuesday. Throughout the year, we had many diversions in the way of themes, sonnets. Problem papers, and TESTS. We all obtained much enjoyment (?) from preparing these papers and projects, and heartily recommend them to the Juniors. May they like them as well as we did! May 11th, 12th, and 13th were the dates of the Washington trip. Since we were babes in the cradle, we had looked forward to this trip, nor were we disillusioned, when these dreams became realities. Well we won’t dwell on this subject as there is a full account of the trip elsewhere. In June, the Juniors delightfully entertained us at a Prom. Class Night and Commencement exercises have brought to a close this record of the events of the Class of 1927. Page TInrty-tlircc THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 The officers of the Senior year are: Tresident..............................................Arthur Lawver ‘Vice-Tree ident.....................................Francis Brennan Secretary............................................Marian E. Woods Treasurer..............................................Thomas Ambler This High School life, interwoven with trials, worries and joys, will always be recalled with pleasure. We have learned many lessons in Glen-Nor and, perhaps, when we are trodding life’s path in future years, we shall appre- ciate this knowledge more than we can realize now. Betty Woods Marian Woods The Future I can tell you what the future has in store for you but 1 Can't tell you what you're going to be, however I may try. The future has a job for you, just what I cannot say; But there's something more important to be thinking of today. The thing to be concerned with now is not what you will do, A more important matter is the man that's known as “you.” Will you be ready for the task, and fit for any test? Will you go at it with the will and wish to do your best? Will you be cheerful when you work, courageous when you fail? Will you stand fast at duty's post whatever foes assail? Will you think less of pleasure's lure and more of serving well, And measure time by tasks complete and not the cpiittin; bell? The sort of man you're going to be is up to you to say. Some make the most of every chance; some toss the chance away. But let the job be what it may, if well with it you do. Don’t fret about the future—it will have a place for you. Edgar A. Giest. Page Thirty-four CLASS PROPHECY S THIS the Marie Gladys Beauty Shop? 1 would like an appoint- ment at four o’clock for a shampoo, marcel and a manicure.” I had just returned to Philadelphia after spending three years in the South, where I had written two hooks, “The Return of the Flood Girl” and “Good Morning, My Alabama Lady,” and I would soon he on my way to Washington. But first I decided to visit at the Beauty Shop, conducted by Marian Hoguet and Gladys Skinner. This was the first time in three years I had seen them. I felt sure that they could tell me something of the other members of dear ’27. When I arrived Gladys was there alone. “Mary, I am so glad to see you,” she exclaimed. “Not half so glad as I am,” I replied, “Is Marian here? Gone home? I guess she is happy with Herb. What about some of the members in our Class? Any news?” “Yes—Joe Miller has set the world’s record in coast-to-coast flying. I had a letter from Clarice the other day; she is tonring the country giving piano recitals. At a recent recital which she gave at the Forum, Olga Samaroff was heard to say that Clarice was the best woman pianist she had heard in some time. Louise Eismann is connected with the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music.” My hair having been shampooed, curled, and my nails manicured, I stepped out onto Walnut Street, called a taxi, and was soon speeding out the New Pennsylvania Boulevard to Center City Station, the new station just finished at 32nd Street in Philadelphia. In the station whom should I meet but Dotty Kirk, the same little Dotty of Glen-Nor. Dotty informed me that she was busy teaching at Peirce’s Business College. Alma Stewart and Ella Irwin were teaching at Glen-Nor. Alma taught all business subjects and Ella taught Gym. Two members of our class had heard their Alma Mater calling and had answered that call. Dotty also told me that Louise Gysling was proving useful as a private secre- tary to a wealthy New York banker, who was none other than Joseph Stevens. Jerry Lenz, who had once passed out pictures to the, Twelve Commercial, girls, was working and prospering in the New York Stock Exchange. I left Dotty to find the group with which I was to travel to Washington. This group was made up of Kitty Hagan, Grace Walker and Evans Campbell. Soon I spied them. My! how strong and tall Evans Campbell looked and oh! such a comparison from the little “Evans of Glen-Nor.” Evidently his Page Thirty-five THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 work agreed with him. He was head of the National Forest Reserves. Grace Walker stood beside him—still as tall as ever. What was Grace doing? Ah yes, Grace was holding down the Chair of English at Glen-Nor. And there was Catharine Hagan, the same little Kitty of ’27, although she was not Kitty, the cleverest dancer at Glen-Nor; she was Kitty, the wife of the American Ambassador to France. She was living, as one might say, a life of easiness. Her home was in Paris but at present she was on a visit to “the States.” Kitty told us that on her way over to America she had met Dorothy- well you can guess—the wife of one of Glen-Nor’s famous athletes of 1927. They had come over on the new United States Trans-oceanic Airline, “Under Mitten Management.” The two were on the last lap of their honeymoon, a tour around the world. Kitty also told us that at the Beaux Art exhibit in Paris, Ruth Harring- ton’s picture, “Memories”, had won first place. Ruth conducted a school for design in New York, a very exclusive and successful place. Grace asked, “And what is Frances Higgins doing? Frances always kept mum on her career.” Frances, I explained, was private secretary to Sinclair Lewis, the noted author. “And what are you doing, Mary?” Kitty asked ox me. “Oh, nothing much, I really haven’t been doing anything.” “Oh, no” cried Evans, “Her name hasn’t been in every paper for nothing, has it? My land, ever since she wrote that book, ‘The Quest of the Prince’, the'papers have been full of her name. Quite a famous kid 1 hear.” “Now, Evans, don’t flatter me. Tell me do you know anything of the lost, gone or departed of ’27?” “Well, for one thing, Nettie Coleman conducts a restaurant in Phila- delphia, whose cuisine is quite famous. Anna Johnson is an actress who thrills the theaters crowded with fun-loving people. Kitty Manger is now playing the part of the famous Katherina from Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of The Shrew.’ Jimmie Cook is now in Africa supervising the laying of the road-bed for the new Congo and Cape of Good Hope Railroad.” “Time for the train,” announced the practical Grace, and soon we were speeding on our way to Washington. We started to talk again and Evans told us that Allen Crawford was head of the Adams Crawford Wire Business. Soon dinner was announced; we made our way to the dining car and, to our great surprise and delight, seated at the table in front of ours were Arthur Lawver, Roy Smith, and Eldridge Brewster. They were all ministers and were on their way to a convention in Washington. Arthur was married to Betty Woods of ’27, and was the minister in the Immanuel Luth- eran Church in Norwood. Roy held the pastorate of the Olivet Presbyterian Page Thirty-six THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 Church in Prospect Park and Eldridge Brewster (still single) was preaching at the Methodist Epsicopal Church in Norwood. When we arrived in Washington we went to the Burlington Hotel and to my great delight, 1 occupied the same room 1 had ten years ago when seventy members of ’27 had made a delightful pilgrimage in May, 1927. In the corridor of the Hotel, I met Bill Kimber and was introduced to his French wife. He was married four months ago and was busy showing her the sights of America. Bill told me he was playing shortstop for the New York Yankees. Johnnie Metz was twirling for them and Sam McClellan was catching. Walter Behrendt was Professor of German at Harvard. Ralph Matthias had gone into interior decorating and Harry Petit was managing his father’s business of Building and Contracting. Rod Smith, our six-foot-three, was coach of Notre Dame and we heard that he has been training Rod Jr. to become a famous football star like his “Pa.” The first place we visited was the Congressional Library. As we entered one of the Librarians looked up and smiled. It was Herta Wellemeyer of ’27. 1 remember Herta as a Librarian of renown at Glen-Nor. She came over to speak to us. “I am so glad to see you,” she told us. “It gets rather lonesome here all day, never to see anyone you know.” “Do you know anything of anybody?” I asked her. “Yes, Ruth Allott conducts a conservatory of Music in Philadelphia. You’ll find Paul Langner’s and Arthur Bing’s names in ‘Who’s Who.’ ’ I went over and hunted for the book and I found it. I looked for Arthur Bing’s name and beneath it I read: “Bing, Arthur, Glenolden, Fa. Noted Mathe- matician at Georgetown University. He is at present very busy investigating the Seventh Dimension. Mr. Bing is a very wonderful Chess player, having won the World’s Championship from Capablaneo.” Soon I came to this: “Langner, Paul, Folsom, Pa., Inventor of the World-Famous I ltra- Rayed X-Ray. His work is considered the best in that line.” We soon left the building and were walking through the Central Park in Washington. We passed a tennis court where a group of young girls were being instructed in tennis. They were being coached by Katherine Higgins of ’27. We went in to speak to her. She seemed very glad to see us. She had been in Washington for five years and hadn’t heard from our classmates for some time. Walking on we passed the Walter Reed Hospital and saw a very fair looking nurse sitting bv some soldiers on the lawn. The nurse smiled, a smile of recognition. It was Evelyn Nagle. So Evelyn was a nurse after all. She always said she was going to be one. Evelyn told us that Alice Tindall and Elinor Rutter were on duty at this Hospital too. Ethel Meeder was teaching in Pittsburgh. Dolly Yiscidi Page Thirty-seven THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 was teaching in Morton and Margaret Beckett taught art in Glen-Nor. Later we passed a large gray stone building on whose massive oak doors was inscribed the following: “School for French Interpretation—Mary Graul.” When I reached the business part of the city I passed a small stone building. A sign indicated this building to be “Electrical and Civil Engineers I nion. To my great surprise 1 saw Bob Wilson come out of this building. After we had exchanged greetings lie told me that Francis Kenny, Marshall McCully, Harry Dieffenback, Samuel Edmiston, Paul Sauer and himself were all members of the I nion. All Glen-Nor boys, working hand-in-hand for the betterment of our nation. Bob told us that Annesly Morton was head of the II ashington II eekly, a copy of which I had bought at the Station. Walter Wilson was head of the Sport and Spirit section of that paper. I had just read an article by Lee Argali, head of the committee on the proposed new bridge over the Delaware River. Philip Neison was head chauffeur of the Yellow Cab Company in Phila- delphia. Francis Brennan and Robert Robinson were in the Stage Decorating Business. I thought that natural for they had always decorated the stage at school. George Tindall had been for the past five years a prominent fruit grower in California while Clarence Englehart was president of the Inter- national Drug Stores of the United States. Paul Corter was conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra and Richard Briscoe was a noted printer in Philadelphia. Next we visited the Senate Chambers. The Senators were standing in groups. One senator smiled at us. Who was he? We racked our brains for someone who looked like this man. At last he came up and spoke to us. It was Lewis Smith, a senator from Pennsylvania. After talking a bit he told us that Tom Ambler was appointed by the President as a member of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. After a pleasant stay in Washington which lasted three days, we were again on our way home. When we arrived in Philadelphia we waited for our trains to our home towns. I took a seat in the electric train beside a quiet, scholarly person who turned out to be Emma Warfield. “Emma, how glad I am to see you,” I exclaimed. She told me that she was teaching Mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania. She also told me that she had seen Connie Seltzer in Philadelphia who had just arrived home after spending two years in Paris, studying Art. In the paper that Emma had, there was an account of the first swim across the Atlantic, made by “Tudy” Woods. She had been accompanied by the private yacht of Wallace Bing, who was now the millionaire Banana Oil King. By means of her wonderful feat Tudy had won the thirty thousand (pennies) offered by Wallace. Page Thirty-eight THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 Was a class ever known to be so famous? I think not. No one thought such great things would come from us but we worked hard and won the race. Now the Class of ’27 loves and rejoices in happiness and prosperity. Classes who went before and after, Were the ones to set the pace; But the Class of ’27 Was the one to run the race. Now the race is on and ’27, In happiness rejoices. While we send to above our prayers From seventy thankful voices. M. Higgins G. Walker E.

The beloved Juniors were on hand to see that we got a rousing sendoff, and dis- tributed lolly pops, bananas, and balloons. (Did you ever know what a charming vest-pocket decoration a banana makes?) W hen we finally were leaving Norwood, we found that Ben Tarr had been mixed up with our baggage, and had been carried aboard the train. We removed him at Ridley Park, however, when the train stopped for the Ridley Park Seniors. The ride to Washington was taken up with card games, parad- ing through the coaches, and enjoying the scenery(?). The time passed quickly, and we soon pulled into I nion Station. There was a rush to buy postal cards to send to friends and to the folks back home. We bought all the canes and swagger sticks in sight, and then set out for the Capitol. Thus began the ordeal of walking, climbing steps, walking, descending steps, walking, and then a little more walking. After an interesting trip through the Capitol, during which the guides complimented us upon our orderly and quiet manner, we boarded cars for the Hotel Burlington. (“What—only six tokens for 40 cents?”) (“Sure, we can all pile on. ”) Having arrived at our hotel, we besieged the clerk, secured our keys, rummaged for our bags in the huge pile of bags on the floor, and went to look for our rooms. We spent a hectic half hour inspecting them, arguing over which beds we were going to sleep in, and washing up for lunch. We found that we had a small dining room to ourselves with a head waiter, and white- coated waiters. We were too hungry to bother much about the quality of the food, but we noted the abundance of stew. Wednesday afternoon we had an e‘ tremely panoramic view of Washing- ton from sight-seeing buses. We stopped for a short time at the Lincoln Memorial, where nearly everyone took pictures. The dignified beautv of the monument, and the colossal fgure of Lincoln within it, should leave their impression with us for a long time to come. A quick visit to the Zoological Garden was interesting to all of us, though we feared that a few of our mem- bers might be detained as interesting specimens. In fact, we did almost leave Miss Markley and Mrs. Bonsall there. On our way to Arlington Cemetery, one of our three buses became in- volved in an argument with a truck, but the affair had no serious results. Page Forty-five Washington Page Forty-six THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 The grounds of Arlington Cemetery were very impressive with the many monuments, and row after row of the graves of the Nation’s honored dead. The Amphitheatre and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were the main (joints of interest in the cemetery. Speaking of points, the guard at the Tomb had a very wicked one on his polished bayonet. We could plainly see the path that had been worn in the stone by the feet of the guards as they paced back and forth. We returned to the Burlington for dinner, and among other things we were served spinach. If we forget everything else concerning the trip, that spinach will remain in our memories forever. After dinner we went to the Congressional Library. This proved most interesting; some of our party were occupied with reading the inscriptions on the walls, others exclaimed over the world’s smallest book; all were interested in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, which were mounted there. Late in the evening we returned to the hotel, spent an hour or so in dancing, and then it was “time to retire.” We did so, and were very careful to obey all the rules as printed on the little cards in each room. We all spent a peaceful and restfid night. There was no eating in the rooms, no running through the halls (in evening dress), no loud talking or laughing, no games were played, the “II. I). (House Dick or House Richard) did not have to make one visit. We straggled (no. not staggered) down to breakfast next morning, a meal which held to the same standards of excellence(P) as the previous ones had. After breakfast we went to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where we saw an amount of money, that would, we think, finance our Annual, and leave us enough to hold a picnic or two. Here we met the Ridley Park Seniors, who were with us for most of the remainder of the day. We next bent our steps toward the Washington Monument. We thought we had been doing quite a bit of walking anti climbing! ! But “we hadn’t seen nothin’ yet.” When those of us who disdained to use the elevator, had finally reached the top, most of us were ready and willing to use it for the descent. Although it was a bit misty, there was a fairly good view, and many pictures were taken. The New Museum was the next item on our itinerary. Some of us spent quite a while here, but others hurried through and then went shopping; one group, with our guide, Mr. Brooks, visited the Naval Yard, and obtained per- mission to go aboard and inspect the President’s yacht, the -Mayflower. For lunch, when we got back to the hotel, we had our favorite dish again, namely, stew! After lunch we headed for the terminus of the Mt. Vernon Railway. Here we boarded special cars for the trip to Mt. Vernon, through Alexandria, where we stopped to see Old Christ Church, in which George Washington used to worship. Most of us took advantage of the opportunity to sit in Washington’s pew. Immediately after reaching Mt. Vernon, the Class Picture was taken on the lawn in front of the mansion. Old Sol came out and shone steadily for Page Forty-seven More Washington! Page, Forty-eight THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 the first time during our trip, and we had an enjoyable afternoon wandering through the old house and the outbuildings. The grounds about the house are very beautiful, and there is a wonderful view of the Potomac River and of the country across the Potomac. Everyone stopped for a little while at the modest tomb of “The Father of 11 is Country,” just around a curve of the hill. The whistle of the Qharles McAllister blew far too soon, but all who were still on land hastened to the boat. We found that several of the class had gone on board the boat early, to be sure of gett ing good seats on the for- ward deck. However, the joke was on these “wise guys” later, for after the boat started, there was a decidedly Arctic breeze that chilled our blood. On the rear deck, however, sheltered by the cabin, it was quite comfortable riding. Not content with watching the shores or the river, we sang, or danced to the tune of “Drop In Another Nickel.” “Ev” staggered around under the weight of a man-sized cigar. We expected him to give in to it any minute, but he proved the superiority of mind, if any, over matter. On the whole, the boat ride was one of the jolliest times of all the trip. We went from the wharf to the hotel in buses, and soon were assembled for the evening meal. At this time we barely survived the shock of having ice cream and cake for dessert. They were so generous with their helpings, too. Langner and Fats Kenny were unable to eat all their cake. (They couldn't find it.) After this unexpected treat, we returned to our rooms and got all “dolled up,” in preparation for going to the shows. When we came down, about 8 o’clock, the photographer was there with the Mt. Vernon picture, and took orders, and dollar bills, for copies of it. Some of us went to Keith s 'N aude- ville; others went to see “The Better Ole. Both shows made a hit; we who saw Syd Chaplin as 01’ Bill, laughed so much that we still felt the strain the next day. After the show, most of us returned to the hotel, buying refreshments and taking them up to our rooms. es, thank you, we made good use of them, and enjoyed them. “Leon’s”—“The Vermont Delicatessen,”—what visions of pickles, ice cream, peanuts, ginger ale(P), fruit, sandwiches, pretzels, and what have you are brought to mind by these words! Just a little tip—-it s cheaper to go out ami buy refreshments than to have them sent up by a bell-boy. Canada Dry at 35 cents, exclusive of tips; we drank it a drop at a time to get our money’s worth. This night was as quiet and as uneventful as the preceding one had been, perhaps a little more so. Everyone slept, as he was supposed to do, but there was quite a bit of sleep-walking, and talking in sleep. It has come to us officially that several of the boys were well supplied with filthy lucre, as a result. Others, strange to say, found that their purses were not as heavy as they should have been. Be that as it may, the night passed, and morning came; it always does. With groans and sighs we dragged ourselves from our beds, and cots.

Page Fifty THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 the next morning, and realized that it was Friday, the 13th. It was indeed unlucky for us, inasmuch as it was the last day of our trip. Some of us decided to get a little more sleep; some decided to go down for breakfast, and others preferred to go without it. The party finally assembled and we set out for the Botanical Garden, the Fisheries, the Medical Museum, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Air- craft Building. We had a bit of fun with some other squirrels in the Botanical Gardens. (We didn’t mean that.) We “took in” the other buildings just as we pleased. Those who finished early went on a shopping tour, or to the flying field, and a small group went to the temporary White House, in hopes of seeing the President . They were rewarded after a half hour’s wait, by seeing him enter his car and drive off for lunch. By this time we ourselves were hungry so we came back to the Burlington. A few of us decided that we would “eat out.” Which we did. We found out later that those who stayed at the hotel for lunch had had a good meal for once. Perhaps the authorities wanted to make the last impression a good one. No one meal could, however, wipe out the memory of the others. After lunch we packed our belongings (and a few souvenirs) in our bags, tipped all the help liberally(?) and set out in buses for the station. We found our coach and began the festivities which lasted until we reached Nor- wood. Here we were met by a reception committee of Juniors and relatives and friends, and quickly dispersed to our homes. (W e have since learned that a few of us had spinach and stew for the first meal at home—needless to say, these dishes were hailed with joy? ? ? ?)

In December, 1926, we gained our first publicity, through the Junior Play, “The Charm School.” When the public saw this play, it realized that the Junior Class would leave its mark in Glen-Nor. In January, 192 , the Juniors held their annual dance. In spite of the blizzard, many people turned out and enjoyed the “hop” immensely. We are all looking forward to t ie Junior Prom, and “a good time is expected by all. The Juniors have been well represented in Senior High School activities this year; and next year we aim to “make Glen-Nor a better place in w ie to work and live.” Page Fifty-nine Tenth Grade Page Sixty Ninth Grade THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 Academic Bancroft, Charles Bennett, William Bishop, Nannie Boden, Beatrice Colhoun, Douglas Colhoun.

The gold curtains presented by the Dramatic Club of 1926 were, with the help of Miss Cole and Mr. Swan, made over and rehung, so that they could be drawn up out of sight or lowered, almost instantly. The wicker furniture was refinished for the Dramatic Club play. One of the biggest events of the season was the play, “The Whole Town’s Talking”, presented by members of the Senior Dramatic Club. It was given on Friday and Saturday nights, April 29 and 30. Members of the club, who tlid not choose to try for a part in the play, acted as judges of the tryouts. The cast was chosen as follows: Henry Simmonds ......................................... Francis Kenny Harriet Simmonds (his wife).................................Mary Bolger Ethel Simmonds (their daughter)........................Marion Woods Chester Binney (Simmonds’ partner) ....................John O’Donnell Letty Lythe (a motion picture star)....................Betty Walker Donald Swift (motion picture director).................Rodman Smith Roger Shields (a young Chicago blood)................Marshall McCully Lola Wilson , t,., ,, ( Dolly Viscidy Sally Otis | Friends of Ethel s........................j Dorothy Happe Annie (the maid).......................................Catharine Hagan Sadie Bloom.........................................Eleanor Lewis Taxi-driver.........................................Frank Lawrence Mrs. Jackson...........................................Grace Walker The play was coached by Miss Elizabeth May Roberts, who is our club advisor. Miss Roberts deserves the greater part of the credit for the success of the play because of her hard work during the short time we had for re- hearsals. A. D. S„ ’27.

The officers of the Girls’ Glee Club are: Katharyn Mauger, President; Alma Stewart, Secretary; Clarice Duke, Treasurer, and Louise Eismann, Accompanist. The girls went to Media during Institute Week and rendered several numbers success- fully. They sang in the ( hristmas Pageant, “The Messiah Comes,” and assisted with the Operetta, “The Dragon of Woo Poo.” Ina Mae Foster took the leading part as the Mandarin’s daughter, Marian Hoguet took the part of the snappy old Chinese aunt. The girls also sang (luring Music Week. The Boys’ Glee Club sang a few' times at the Century Club and assisted with the Christmas Pageant. They played an important part in the Operetta. Paul Langner made a good Chinese Captain of the Guards and Marshall McCully was the “proverb loving” Mandarin. The American'sailors made quite a hit as did the terrible Dragon of Woo Foo. The Chinese soldiers were really very funny. The boys participated in the program during Music Week. Irma Hazzard plays for the boys’ club. Miss Bowen supervises both clubs. L. E., ’27. The Speed Club The Glen-Nor Speed Club was organized last year for the specific purpose of enabling those who took stenography to keep in practice, thus increasing their speed. It was found to be a great asset by those who belonged last year, and it was continued this year. Miss Andrews is our very able sponsor, and each day. when time is available, she dictates to us. We have meetings several times a week and we have accomplished a very great deal, both in speed and in accuracy; we hope that the club will be as successful next year, as it has been in the past two years. The members of the club are: Anna Johnson, Alma Stewart, Dorothea Kirk. Katharyn Mauger, and Louise Gysling. By just glancing over the list of names you will notice that the member- ship is (piite small, which is mostly due to the fact that many of the students have other activities; but we hope that next year, all those students who have taken stenography, as w ell as those who are in their second year of stenography will realize just what the Speed Club can do for them. The membership, next vear, should be very much increased. L. C. G.; ’27. ' Page Sixty-scecn Tub Orchestra Banking Clib Page six' -eight THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 THE ORCHESTRA The Glen-Nor Orchestra has had a very successful year under the able leadership of Miss Bowen. There are quite a few new members this year. We have about twenty-five pieces in the orchestra. Every one co-operated in every event in which the orchestra played. Our first real appearance was at the Teachers’ Institute held in Media, the last of October. Several of the members of our orchestra were chosen to play with members of other high school orchestras in the demonstration led bv Miss Bowen. Our next appearances were December 3rd and 4th, at the Junior Class Play. The Christmas Pageant came on December 17th. The orchestra took a prominent part in this. When the Seniors gave their play February 4th and 5th, the orchestra assisted them by playing several numbers at each performance. The big musical event of the year was the operetta which was presented March 18th and 19th. The orchestra had a large part in this affair. Tuesday, May 10th, Clen-Nor observed Music Week. The orchestra played several selections. Through everyone’s hearty co-operation, this year has been a very pleasant one, and a very interesting one. All members of the orchestra hope that the years to come will be just as good as this. C. D., ’27. VP - The Banking Club rllE Banking Club of Clen-Nor was organized four years ago. Me still have two veterans, and we are proud of them. They are Louise Cysling and Dorothea Kirk. All the Commercial Seniors now members have been members for the three years, while others have joined us. Miss Andrews is our sponsor and cashier and the members are the tellers, one for each room, thus limiting the number of members to thirteen; this is the only club in school limited in number. Each member or teller has a window or desk, and each one represents a room, as indicated by the “shingle.” The club is here for tin benefit and convenience of the student body, another distinction over other clubs. We have had fair support in the past but not what we would like to have. We, the present members, wish for the members of the reorganized club of next year the best of success, and better luck toward the 100 per cent depositship of the entire student bodv. A. E. J., ’27. Page Sixty-nine Senior Library Cu b JrxiOR Library Cu b Page Seventy THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 Senior Library Club This year is the first that Glen-Nor has had a Library Club. With the help of the sponsor. Miss Phillips, the club has done a great deal in improving the library. Probably the first improvement was the enforcement of the silence rule. I think that everyone will admit that it is easier to work in the library since the student librarians have been given the authority to send any student who does not obey rules back to study hall. During the year, the members have been taught to take care of the books; that is, to repair them, to keep the references books in numerical order, and to check out books to students. There is a cross reference catalog in which there is a card for each book in the library by which we can tell where any book is located. Student librarians are also responsible for filing books in this catalog when any new books come in. We also have very many different magazines for all students use. The current ones must be kept on the table, whereas, a file of all old educational value magazines is kept, this being another duty of the student librarians. M. E. G., ’27. Junior Library Club The purpose of the Junior Library Club, like the Senior Library ( lub, is to help “make Glen-Nor a better place in which to work and live”—a worthy cause indeed. As everyone knows, the constant use of books causes them to show wear and tear, so also does the Library Club well known by the number of books to be repaired from time to time. YV e rather act as a hos- pital, so to speak, materially instead of physically, keeping books in as good shape as possible. There are new books to catalog, paste pockets, cards to be made, and then get ready for the shelves, besides all the old books to keep in an up-to-the-minute condition. Besides this, we also act as helpers to the student Librarians in the Senior Club, who take fidl charge of the Library during their vacant periods. We can help them in many ways, such as: Keeping order, signing slips, keep- ing the shelves in a tidy condition. These have been the many duties of the Junior Library Club, and we feel as though we have well fulfilled our purpose this year. Page Seventy-one .Senior Debating (’li b Junior Debating Cli b Page Seventy-tu o THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 The Debating Clubs Glen-Nor has two clubs whose membership includes persons interested in debating, either in a passive or an active way. The Senior High Club, sponsored by Miss Markley, has a membership of about twelve persons. The officers of the club are: Arthur Lawver, President; Elinor Rutter, Secretary. The members of the squads or teams are: Betty Woods, Francis Kenny, Mary Bolger, Richard Thayer, Arthur Lawver, Marian Woods, Roy Smith, Alice Tindall, Henry Gorman. The teams debated with two schools this term; first with Collingdale and second with Ridley Park. Although defeated in three out of the four debates we feel that the teams worked hard to produce the speeches and deserve the Forensic Society pin which will be awarded them. The club has held some interesting round-table discussions and arguments during the year on topics of local or national interest. The Junior High Club, the embryo of our future teams, consists of eight members, including the sponsor. Miss Brandt. The officers of the club are: Louis Lawver, President; Marian Smullen, Vice-President; William Johnson, Secretary. The club has taken part in four debates during the season and through the aid of Miss Brandt the members feel that they have gained something from the organization. The French Club The French Club, organized in October, is sponsored by Miss Ilassler. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: ‘President........................................Mary Ghaul, ’27 Uice-TresideiJ...............................Marian L. Hoguet, ’27 Secretary......................................Clarice I. Duke, ’27 The entertainment committee prepared stories, games, puzzles and other forms of entertainment for each meeting. One especially interesting feature was the talk given by a lady who had recently returned to this country from France. She consented to come and speak to the French classes at Miss Ilassler’s request. Owing to the small number of members in the club, there has been no public appearance or demonstration of the work done in this group. C. I. I).. ’27.

In this hive there are eight bees, whose “buzz” is the snapping of two (i by 10 presses, a 1.5-inch paper cutter, a binder, a perforator, a punch- ing machine or a lead cutter. Of these the binding machine, one press and the lead cutter were purchased this term, along with several new fonts of type. All these machines help the bees to produce honey in the form of letter heads, office forms, tickets and posters, that are found around the school. Like all other hives, we had bees who turned out to be drones and deserted us. All the bees who are now in the hive are active workers. There are two sections: the junior and senior hives; of the latter there are Richard Briscoe, Elwood Revell and Ernest Rowdon; of the former there are Burritt Wright (big bee), Richard Bruce (Sec.), Robert Cornish and Forrest McClure. The club owes its success to our faculty advisor, Mr. Swan. We must not forget to mention our Arbor Day contribution to the school which is the Norway Maple tree, to the right of the flag pole (as you stand facing the pike). We hope this tree will give encouragement to the Bees of the future and that our success will be a mark for them to aim for and pass. The Kineomatograpiiic Club The Kineomats arc the shining lights of Glen Nor. Upon them rests the responsibility of keeping all the lights in the auditorium and the stage in good working order and arranging the lighting effects for the different entertain ments given during the year. Among the functions attended by the Kineomats were: The Senior Class play, “The Taming of the Shrew”; the Christmas Pageant, “The Messiah Comes”; the operetta, “The Dragon of Wu Foo”; and a vaudeville show given by the Artisans’ Club of Norwood. The Artisans’ show and the Christmas Pageant required the arrangement of special lighting effects which were well taken care of by the members of the club and our faculty advisor, Mr. Irwin. The club consists at present of Robert Robinson. Robert Hoguet, Robert Wilson, Richard Briscoe, Rodman Smith, Francis Brennan and Paul ( orter. As the present members of the club are all Seniors, three Juniors will be elected to carry on the work next year. The Kineomats have purchased a spotlight which has proven of great benefit to the other clubs of the school, in the production of their plavs. S. P. C„ ’27.

In May of 1925, the club presented “The College Stick.” This play was a very successful first attempt. In an effort to realize the aim of bigger and better plays the club gave in the spring of the following year, “The Littlest Bridesmaid.” This play showed a decided improvement over the play of the preceding year. This year, with the aim of the club in mind, the members have chosen a mystery comedy called “And II ome Came Ted.” The cast is already working on the play and feel confident that the play will show much improvement over last year’s. M iss Zeigler, the club sponsor, is coaching the play and with this important dutv in her hands we are assured of success. II. G. Nature Club This club has found a host of interesting things right within Glen-Nor’s own walls. The rocks and minerals found in the closets of the first floor have opened up a new vista of information. Every day local rocks are brought in by boys and during the club periods many are tested and identified by the boys. In connection with the work on rocks the members of the club took a trip to Indian Basin, Drexel Hill, where a few garnets, splendid granite, and sandstone were found, together with a host of spring flowers and birds. At an earlier date, I)r. Erhenfeld, of the T’niversity of Pennsylvania,entertained our members bv showing his large mineralogieal collection. C. M. Chess Club This is the second year that the Chess Club has been organized. The interest in this club is growing continuously in spite of the lack of boards and chess men for all the members to play. Throughout the year the members have been instructed in the elements of the game, and games between mem- bers have been watched with interest. After the winter holidays a tournament between the members was held. The final game was won by Arthur Bing. The year closed with the study of moves and plays of International Chess Players. The club officers were as follows: President.......................................................Ernest Dodd 1Vice-President . . William Corbin Secretary Emma Warfield Sponsor . . Mr. Miller E. L.

Miss Markley The club has done quite a bit of research work, finding many interesting facts about Norwood and Glenolden as well as places nearby. From time to time we have made trips to historical places, most important of which were the Sesqui-Centennial and Valley Forge. We made one memorable trip to the theatre and that was to enjoy the historical picture, “Old Ironsides.’’ During the year we have enjoyed many interesting discussions on ancient and modern history as well as on modern happenings. We feel that we have had a successful year. We hope the future History Clubs will continue to be as successful and raise the club’s standard. F. M. II., ’27.

Late in September we visited Mulford’s Laboratories. Early in October we went to the Sesqui- Centennial Exposition. In November we made a visit to the Abbott Ice Cream Plant. In April we spent an afternoon at Valley Forge. We plan to close the activities of our club with a boat trip on the Dela- ware River.

We lost only one game, to Haverford Township High School. Martha Corter, who cap- tained the team, was the highest individual scorer in the county, making 311 points. The school will be very sorry to lose Anne Johnson, our jumping center; Kathryn Mauger, forward, and Kathryn Higgins, captain and jumping center for the second team. We are fortunate, however, in having Martha Corter and Mary Bolger for another year. The other members left are: Kathryn Rose, Lois Fell, Ruth Mauger, Mildred Wilgus, Ruth Collins, Verna Kutz, Kathryn Crowe, Clara McGinnis, Marion Happe, Amy Briscoe, and Jessie Morrison. The Mothers and Fathers gave the members of the Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball Team a banquet at the “Golden Dragon” in Philadelphia, at which time the members of the Varsity Team received gold basketballs with “ Championship ” engraved on them, and the second team received silver ones. One track meet besides the Delaware County Meet is scheduled and one baseball game. We have about six tennis matches booked. Those out for tennis are: Kathryn Mauger, Ruth Mauger, Dorothea Kirk, Martha Corter, Anne Johnson and Helen Rhodes. Home work in Archery and Golf is also planned. E. I., ’27 ? 1 L 1 ‘age Eighty-four Baskktball Tennis Page Eighty-fire Tennis Boys’ Basketball After going through the season with only one defeat, the Glen-Nor Basketball team was defeated in the Kiwanis Tournament by Radnor High. In the first night of playing in the tournament Glen-Nor had defeated I pper Darby in a thrilling game, and had won the right to play Radnor, the Champs of Class “B”. The Radnor game had many more thrills than the first game. When the final gun went off. Radnor had a lead of one point—the score stand- ing 30-29. Despite this defeat we received two cups, one for the Suburban “C” League Championship, and the other from the Sun . We hope that these cups will stay in Glen-Nor for many years to come. 1 he team which gathered in our second Basketball championship, under the coaching of Mr. Bamberger, was composed of Brennan, Cook, Metz, Lenz, and Iloguet, who were supported by Rod Smith, Williams, Super, and Kitts, as Subs . Page Eighty-seven ib IwB' i1 i Track Page Eighty-eight THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1927 BASEBALL At the beginning of the season things looked very rosy for another cham- pionship. The team won the first couple of league games. But then, some- thing went wrong, and they began to lose, something not considered good form at Glen-Nor. However before the season is over we are sure Glen-Nor will have quite a few winnings chalked up. TENNIS In Tennis this year eight matches were scheduled, but due to rain three were postponed. The record so far does not look so good, the team losing four and win- ning one, but when the class of the opposition is considered, it does not look so bad, either. The team this year consisted of John L. Metz, manager; Paul Langner, Walter Behrent, Frank Lawrence, Francis Brennan, Annesly Morton, and f lyde Manger. Mr. Irwin is coach. J. L. M„ ’27 BOYS’ TRACK Track prospects at the beginning of the season looked very drab indeed. Captain Brennan (the same who captained Basketball) and Coach Irwin were not over-enthusiastic. However a large number of boys turned out tor track practice and the result has been a par track team. 1 he crowning achievement of this year’s track season was the winning of first place in the mile relav at the Penn Relays. The boys who made up the fast quartet were Brennan! Langner, Cook, and Behrendt. Earl Morrison has succeeded in becoming very skillful in his pole vaulting and has won a number of gold medals for first places.

Brennan led his huskey warriors onto the field at 3:61 (Daylight Saving Time) and a few minutes later Thayer appeared on deck with a full array of Shams. Following is the line-up: Brennan.............“Mudguard Thayer Cook...............Left Out.............Smith C rawford..........W ay Back...........Ambler Morton...............Cinder............Dmgner Campbell............Drawback..........Stevens Time of quarters—three minutes (Ingersoll Timeb Referee—Roberts. Umpire—Markely. Follow- ing is the detailed account of the game by quarters: First quarter—As the whistle blew. Captain Brennan removed his mashie from the base and made a clever pass at the jaw. Stevens then plunged, but was bested by two lengths, when Morton returned a clever volley over the court. Langner pegged second, but Crawford was on the twenty-yard line. This placed the quoit directly in line with the diving board. On the next play, Campbell was unable to take the last hurdle as Smith intercepted his sacrifice fly on the third lap. The quarter ended with the discus on the green in Thayer’s possession. Second quarter—Langner opened the round with a hard right to the basket. Brennan attempted a drop kick, but. Ambler pegged him out on the six- yard line. Cook missed the first hurdle and Smith fell into a clinch. Campbell knocked out a grounder with his niblick and, after a few short hooks to the net, succeeded in placing the cue ball in the side pocket. The set ended with Morton’s trying hard for a single. Score—Boogs, 10; Shams, 0. Third quarter—Thayer's team was showing a lot of fight. Crawford tackled Smith on third base. Brennan dealt hard and Ambler smashed out a terrified pass to the net. Langner succeeded in getting a scissors on the goal post but Stevens missed the pigeon by five feet. The Shams were rowing hard, when Langner skated down the third base line and threw a ringer. He received a mighty ovation when he sped past on the forty-second lap. Third inning ended as Morton went into the can for more bait. Score—12)4 for the Boogs; f°r the Shams. Fourth quarter—Both teams rushed onto the ice as the bell rang. Cook vaulted over the banking board and plunged into the side pocket with ease. Ambler had a Royal Flush but could not remove his ball from the bunker. Crawford went through mud-guard for a double. Stevens pulled in his line as Brennan sent a clever drop kick through the ring. Smith clinched and cued his ball off center. Langner's engine was running smoothly as he made a clean vault with his mallet. The game ended with Brennan sending right jabs to the goal post.

Judge—“Haven’t 1 seen you before some- where?” Defendant—“Surely, 1 gave your daughter singing lessons.” Judge—“Fifty years.” It is better to keep your mouth shut and be called a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Beta a dime you don't.” How a Senior Works It “I love you! 1 love you!!! 1 want you for my own!!! Say, what's your name?” The tightest bird we know is the chap, who, when his girl wanted to go for an airplane ride, made her sit on the piano with him, while the vacuum cleaner roared appropriately on the floor below. The only reason these collegiate scholastics don't wear hats is so that they won't have to take their hands out of their pockets every time they meet a girl they know. “Mother, dear, ma 1 take a swim?” “ Yes, my darling daughter; You look so much like a hickory limb, You’d better stay in the water.” Cross Crossings Cautiously—if you would avoid that run down feeling. “Oh.

I am counting my mustache.” The supreme thrill—The electric chair. Slippery ice, very thin— Pretty girl tumbled in. Saw a boy on the bank. Gave a shriek, then she sank. Boy on bank gave a shout; Jumped right in, helped her out. Now he's hers— very nice. But she had to break the ite. Once there was a little girl who went to college to learn something. What a joke on the little girl! Notice The Gonna Tappa Keg Fraternity is holding its Early Spring Hop in the Corner Saloon on April 31st.
