Though, rightly, possessing interest especially our own, we hope that its influence may not be limited to the Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Four. And though we ask that the rigid critic may be lenient with our inexperienced effort, we feel confident that there is upon its pages some- thing expressive of Haverford life ; — that life, which, more or less, is a part of us all. ■ To the Haverfordian of past years, we hope it may flavor of his day ; to the Haverfordian of the present, may it speak of a broader college influence ; and to the future Haverfordian, may it serve as a tie to the old College. To our lit- tle group of fellows, however, it will ever serve as a hand-book of Haverford days. ■[ When the cold winter nights come and the wind howls about the shut- ters defying bolt and bar, when the largest log of all is placed upon the good old fire-place and its glow falls upon a wrinkled face, then the gray-haired fathers will take down this dusty volume. Each one as he sits there, surrounded by the peace and comfort of a well-spent life, will quietly thumb its pages. Each one, to the coming generation, will relate the incidents that happened in old Barclay and Lloyd, and will chuckle with delight as he reads the old familiar names and views the boyish faces ; — and finally will shut the cover to, having lived once more his col- lege days. As we pen this book, it is of these days that we think, — may they be lasting. Senior Class President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Senior Class j Fred Van Winkle Andrew, Blanchester, . Andy.

Can it Ik- that lie means our class. iw_|. the crowd which played havoc, not long ago, with doors, windows, and the sleep of those whom we new know to he the best fellows in the world? Of course he does, hut it hardly seems possible that four years should slip 1 so i in their flight, happy and careless though they were. Yes, we are growing up — even Baldy Morris is ageing. In the good old days oi Freshman year, when a stillness had fallen over the crowd and the empty cocoa cups had been put under the conch, we were ofttimes stirred from our lethargy by the bursting of a door panel or the crash of a win- dow pane. A peculiar cackling laugh brings forth from some half-roused lad the dull muttering: There ' s Baldy! And, sure enough, he soon appears outside the window whispering in sepulchral tones: Where ' s Hanky? Say. you ought ' a been up the hall — Perk and I — but I am getting previous. Suf- fice it to say that this year Chris is credited with only six panes of glass in the shop and a coupli cli iset doors in LJoyd (not his own). 21 With suit cases m their hands and fear in their hearts, appeared on September twenty-sixth, igoo, thirty stalwart lads journeying up the walk to Barclay, fresh from the apron strings of loving mothers. The first impression was terrifying. We were launched into a sea of strange faces, from each of which gleamed a pair of cold, penetrating eyes, sizing us up, from the polish on our shoes to the lay of the last fond mother-brushed curl that straggled, unruly, on our brow. The talk and laughter, the shuffling of feet on the soft-matted hall floor, was entrancing, yet full of foreboding. Huddled together, we stood outside the president ' s office, waiting, praying for him to come to lead us to collection. What that meant we knew not, but at most it could be no worse than suspense. Xow and then a certain large-lunged and larger-mouthed Sophomore uttered his ominous cry of Oh, Fresh! We shivered: Folwell turned pale and clutched at his heart as tho ' stricken; with palsied hand Helbert vainly tried to straighten his cravat. At last the door opened, and the tall form of the president appeared. He beckoned and we gladly followed him as sheep follow the shepherd. Entering the door of Alumni Hall, he showed us our seats, and then, before the whole College, welcomed us. and told the Sophs to beware of trying to haze. The College laughed; we tried to, but could not, for there was something suggestive in that laugh. Collection over, we wandered up the steep stairway of ( ld Founders to Dr. Babbitt ' s sanctum, where lie gave us our first lecture on physiology. These recitations were enjoyable to all of us. They opened with the roll-call, then came a story by the doctor, after which some one was called on to recite. I say called on, because that was often as far as it went. The opening words of the recitation usua ' l) reminded the doctor of one or two or three of those quaint little incidents which occur so frequently to the men whose energies are directed toward the mitigation of human sufferings. It was after our first physiolog lesson that we became a class. Gathered under the old Eucalyptus tree in front of Founders, we grew into some kind of unity. There we elected Thorn captain of the foot- ball team and choose Folwell, Clark ami Thorn to be chief defenders of the cane in the mighty struggle with the Sophs. ■ That night, long after the hour when respectable people are gone to bed, the Sophomore class paid us a call, professedly to do us good, ami to tell us how we might become worthy of the name Haver- Eordian. But as [ ' resident Sharpless had remarked the day before in collection, they were unfit for their task — and really did little more than amuse us with their absurd questions. 22 We were aroused at seven the next morning by the ringing of an enormous bell thro ' the halls — 1 wonder if any of us ever hear it now — and, after spending as much time fixing up as ten Seniors do, we walked confidently to the dining hall, as if the worst were now over. In the course of a day or two, after we had found time to grow accustomed to our new surround- ings, we met the Sophs in mortal combat over possession of a pigskin, and in spite of the fabled preci dent of skill winning from beef, we were defeated. They had some big lobsters in that class! Our fellows had artistic abilities of unusual proportions; our class bump of aesthetic tendencies would compare favorably with the hump on the camel ' s back. and. unwilling thai our powers should he unrecognized, we began earl)- to apply ourselves. Landscapes were our specialty, and so, in the black of night, eluding the vigilance of the Sophs, who were jealous of their reputation, we stole from the win- dows and doors of Barclay laden with cans of paint, some scarlet, some black (the scarlet was a little pale). After decorating numerous trees ami telegraph poles with ' 04. we tackled the goal post at the I ' .rainmar School. Had Morris, trying in his boyish enthusiasm to raise the glorious standard far above this sordid earth, perched on Hungry Joe Clark ' s shoulders and prepared to use the crossbar in lieu of canvas. When Had reached a decision about just which particular portion of the landscape should fall beneath the mighty strokes of his brush, Hungry started for college to get a pillow to pad his shoulders. Poor Morris clung to his easel until down it came. When Joe recovered his equanimity, he picked up the broken crossbar and tried to mend it by smearing the ends with paint, sticking them together and tying them there with his suspenders. The bar — which, by the way, was not the only one to he broken up through Haverford influences — was replaced, and we started on to spread our fame ovei the whole world. As we neared the station, the sight of a group of tall hats on the brows of Sophomores startled us to seek covert under the shadows. Tho ' we were quick, the hats were quicker, and stentorian commands of Hey. Fresh! brought us to a stop. Then Baldy, unable to conceal his pride in our work ' . gave the Sophs a minute description of the evening ' s occupation. Needless to say, when morning ' s sun rose on the scene, the jealous ' 03 painters had wrought havoc with our creations. Baldy was ever a great hand to get the fun out of mischief — deviltry would be a better word— and let some one else take the blame. One day Chris was busily engaged in slamming a door in Barclay, 23 having read that a lock could sometimes be shot in this way. Soon the president appeared from his office around the corner, and Baldy look a sneak, to reappear on the scene from another direction, with the Morris look of innocence on his sober brow. Isaac noted this, and thinking it was caused l grief for the errors of his class, said in one of those kindly tones of voice that Maggie uses when she calls the pet goat, Christ . won ' t thee try to keep thy classmates in better order? ' Christy, with a smoothness that would do credit to a foreigner after a rich wife, said that he would do his best, but it was pretty hard work. On October first we were formally welcomed to College at the Y. M. C. A. reception, where we received a royal treat of faculty speeches and ice cream. Then we returned to Barcla) for the culmina- tii ' ii of , mr hi ispitable welci ime. We doffed glad-rags and assumed collar buttons and sweet smiles with one or two accessories, and prepared For the time honored Soap Slide. This is an experience whose details are too well known to need description. To the mind of the uninitiated Freshman it gives tile general impression of one big bloom- ing, buzzing confusion. The feature of the night, without any doubt, was the boxing match between Bob l.owry and Twad. The latter was a good study in facial expression. 24 .s time wore on we gradually became looked on bj the resl of the College as a necessary evil and ceased to suffer further at the hands of the Sophs, excepl for one or two occasions, such as tin- following: Our class was giving a farewell feed to Powell, who lefl College for England late in the spring. We had laid in a plentiful supply of proto and gunk of all sorts to celebrate the occasion, and, nol content with this, had ordered ice cream from a certain nearby simp. Winn we started to investigate the contents of the freezer, we found two quarts missing. We immediately accused two or three Sophs who had made themselves particularly obnoxious b their fondness for other people ' s eatables, but they denied all knowledge of the affair. We tried to believe them- and are still trying— bul it is a bard thin. Lo do after finding the remnants of a brick of ice cream and a lot of fancy cakes on the lawn outside one of their windows! On the whole, however, we led a mern life and a new one. The freedom from school and Us restraint served naturally to rouse our animal spirits and rough-houses were the usual thine-, 10 ' , ofcourse, studies took a few valuable moments— much to the disgust of some oi us. It would take many more pages than those ! am to till to relate in detail all the things that h rppeneci at different times during the year: the midnight revels in Barclay; the painting of our numerals on the r lof of the unfinished gym; how we tried to smoke Arthur Crowell out of his room in Founders ' and then went down the fire-escape, only to be soaked with water: how a certain six stole the Democratic mot1 a ila : in Ardmore, and had a reward of fifty dollar.- on their heads — these I leave to your imagination. We had one great disappointment in the fall that cast a -loom over the whole College for many a day, and that was the Swarthmore game. To journey all the way over there in coach-and-four and then come home in the rain, defeated, was a hard blow-. However, that did not last forever, and soon w .- were at it again. Smashing doors, drinking afternoon cocoa in Powell ' s room on the long winter days, and listening to the remarkable poetry of Had Morris and Powell, soon brought us into form again, and we once more found pleasure in dumping Biliy Wills and disturbing the slumbers of Tommy Megear and Bill Hilles. Tommy and Pill weregreal ones for sleeping at night; some of us used to like sleeping in daytime and that we could sta nd, but sleeping at night— -never. Things went so far that the two afflicted ones hied them one day to the shop and made them a bar- ricade for their door from 4x6 inch joist. This worked beautifully till one night ' P.aldv Morris climbed in the window and let us in: they went out of bed so hard that time that they almost got an 25 These two were not the only ones who tried in vain to sleep, and dumping out of bed became so commonplace that no one minded it in the least — intact. Benny Lester felt very much hurt because the fellows didn ' t dump him the night they broke the ventilator over bis door and upset his bookcase. I guess they forgot about it. for they would not have hurt Benney ' s feelings for a great deal — even if he did work overtime in the shop ! Thanksgiving came and went, as did the ice cream at the Freshman reception, given by 1 ' resident and Mrs. Sharpless. Then the Christmas holidays favored us with a good rest for some days. But they passed rapidly by, bringing us face to face with the seriousness of mid-years. Who will ever forget that mid-year ' s exam in algebra? The only pleasant feature of it was the occasional relapse into an eraser fight between Jack and Chris. We made the most of the honor system that winter, much to the disgust of Sam Withers, who could not hear himself think. With the end of our first half year ami the survival of it and the mid-years, we began to feel accli- mated. An account of the Freshman-Sophomore sports in the fall should not be omitted. Here we were easily victorious, our track team winning by the score of 51 to 21. For awhile after the middle of the year there was little studying done by some members of the ' lass. Powell ' s room became a writable den of iniquity, and it was woe to him who slept when the bunch was up for all night. So great became Hungry Joe ' s fear of being dumped that he never ventured to go to bed until assured b) personal inspection that the bunch had broken up and retired. It is with admiration that I look on that small cluster of humanity who dared disturb the slumbers of Hungry. In those clays we thought him a mighty man indeed, and many were the hours we spent listening to his talks on Life in West Chester; or. The Evils of a Great City. 1 think it was during one of these talks that some one — probably Chris Morris and Powell — bored a hole in the ceiling of Joe ' s bedroom over bis pillow and inserted a hose — for obvious reasons. It worked in great shape exce pt lor the fact that the hose was too small — worse luck! Somewhere in between times we managed to get measured for our class cap. class sweater and class dinner. Also, we turned out a debating team. Tin.-. however, strove in vain to convince the judges of the superlucidity of our arguments, a thing which one o| them — I ' m not mentioning any names — is still trying to do. and the Sophs won. After the debate we once more went on exhibition before the College in the cake-walk, and made as large fools of ourselves as possible. We won much applause by our costumes, those of Baldy and the Englishman being especiall) unique, as may be seen from the photo- graph. Soon after the spring vacation came the spring sports, in which we made third place: then cricket be- came our daily occupation; I sa) daih to dis tinguish in from our nightly one — long in search of sweets within the walls of a shop in Ardmore, or sweeter sweets peeping shyly thro ' the windows of Pembroke or Merion. They were, indeed, nights for the Freshman to live and love; and that he did right merrily. No wonder that, as he wandered forth from the shadow of Barclay and listened to the night-bird calling itsbeloved, while each little God-made creature sang For very joy of living — no wonder that he turned to ward those fair i ?) ones of Bryn Mawr and loved them, caring not that they were old enough to k — well, his aunts. But 1 am growing over-poetic; perhaps those memories of Freshman year are working, toegther with the day ' s warm breezes, to win me hack to Freshman sentimentality; but, with gritted teeth 1 smother the spark ere it he kindled too well. As I said some time ago., crick et came to take its turn in the cycle of games, and with it came the inter-class games. In these we did creditably, to say the least, beating the Sophs, and only losing the game with the Seniors, winners of the upper class game, by the narrow margin of nine runs. This served to elate us to such an extent that several of our number were almost persuaded I start vacation a bit early. The climax came on the night the committee .if five met to draw up rules and regulations for the government of our successors, 1005. There had been trouble in the air all evening, and the class roughed the rooms of every member till they cotdd hardly tell one from another. Finally, they made for the room in which the committee was holding conclave. The five resisted and the intruders 27 left for a breathing spell. After blocking the door with a mattress, backed up by two desks and a bureau, the committee, leaving one man on guard, turned in. S i they were awakened by a blood-curdling whoop, which made each hair of their scalps stand on its end ; there was a sudden rush against the door and Perk ' s foot went through a panel. The fight became hand to hand, the ether vibrated with the labored breathing of struggling men. Suddenly above the turmoil came the cry, ' •There ' s Hanky — the struggle ceased, the besiegers fled, the besieged sank down in exhaustion. Immediately they were aroused by the stentorian comman 1 of What ' s doing, anyhow ? Ipen up here, you fellows. We opened and the Doctor walked in, a picturesque sight in his red dressing gown, his hair all befuzzled on the tup of his head. Then came an explanation, an assertion of innocence, and his nibs went on a tour of investigation. He p ulled fellows out of various rubbish barrels and closets, and from under beds, and was returning sanctum when there loomed up before him the manly forms of Joe Clark and Billy Bradley. The latter, throwing consequences to the winds, puffed out his chest, and. like a true George Washington, informed the dear Doctor that he had been one of the transgressors. Hanky appreciated his honesty so much that, the next flay, Brad and Joe. with three ether luckless mortals, were given the choice of paying a tine of ten dollars apiece, or taking three days ' vacation — such is the reward of virtui ! The class came up as a body and paid the tine. but fifty dollars seemed a hit high to pa for two door panels. 1 am afraid 1 haven ' t done justice to the good times and adventures we had — 1 have had to omit the greal parade on election eve. in which we followed the transparency, § .

Respon- sibility rested heavily on every mind because of the new and serious trust which we had assumed— that of caring for the new ones of [905. Perkins was appointed chairman of the Freshman door com- mittee, and Thorn of the Snap Slide committee. Various educational matters were discussed and adopted, whereupon we proceeded to enforce them in the following days. In spite of the good work of our cane men. Perkins, Chris Morris and Thorn, the Freshmen suc- ceeded in tying with us in the cane rush. This partial victory begat in the latter an unseemly pride, such as always goes before a fall. Surely enough, that same night each one of them arose when his hour drew 31 nigh, and did all he could for us. One youth was somewhat disrespectful at first, informing its that he was on to it all. But a few seconds sufficed to convince him that there were new things to gel on to. The rest learned their first lesson very well, although thorough drill in matters .if detail was necessary to bring enlightenment into the minds of the stupid. Toward morning Sam administered discipline to one who afterward turned out to he a Junior. This was unconventional, hut. no doubt, productive of good. t last, when the stars began to grow pale, and the oil in our lamps burned low. and our voices grew husk and hoarse, even our solicitude for the welfare of the Freshmen could no longer keep us awake so. having called at all the rooms in Barclay, and having left our cards on the inside of the doors, we rested for a season from our pedagogic labors. The Y. M. C. A. reception, the Soap Slide, the beginnings of foot- hall — these ami other matters provided b) our instructors gave sufficient occupation lor our time during the opening weeks. The Sophomore- Freshman annual sports came soon, and resulted in an overwhelming victory tor 1904. A new banner was then hung aloft in the gym, where three others won by our athletes now keep it company. After the first excitement had lulled, we realized that I wen and Powell had left our ranks, reducing our numbers from twenty-eight to twenty-six. With Powell we lost a versatile genius, and with Owen a good scholar. For the first half year Sheldon was president of the class, for the second half. Thorn. Chris Morris was captain of the class track and cricket teams, and Thorn of the class football team. (wing to the delay oi the football management, this latter team was not permitted to meet the Freshmen in the usual game. Now it was that the first harem was established in Barclay Mali. The success of the plan was so great that it has Been followed many times since, both in our own and in other classes. Bradley, 1 Ielhcrt, Thorn and 32 SOPHOMORES AFRMDOFiS? v«, West were the distinguished founders of liis custom, and in their spacious apartments the class often met to interview various delinquent Freshmen. Here we listened to Hee Haws and Camel songs ; here we encouraged the art of rapid undressing and dressing again with garments reversed, and applauded stationary boat races. One evening we were favored with an exhibition of devouring asymptotes alive. In the harem, one fifth day after meeting, our able ethicists, Withers and Thomas, demonstrated to Fen- wick that his conscience was a fallible guide — while Puddie took every opportunity to cry out: That ' s insolence ! The football season absorbed our interest from September until the great day in November when Thorn ' s brilliant run saved Eiaverford from defeat at the hands of Swarthmore. Perkins and Thorn rep- resented cur class on the ' Varsity, while many fellows, especially The Pride, upheld our honor on the scrub. This was the time when we decided in favor of class hats, special ones for each table. And we had them— that is. one table did. How the envy of the rest of the class grew pale green at the sight of the gaudy red headgear of the few— how a split in the class was narrowly averted— these things we shall lOng remember. ( )ne cold evening rive of us were members of a party which dared the terrors of a haunted house, formerly occupied by a Quaker Tory of the Revolution. We made our evening ' s bivouac under the light of the moon, between the roofless walls of the house. We offered every inducement to the ghost to join our numbers, spreading out an array of eatables, and providing the warmth of a midnight fire — but the ghost was afraid. At 5 o ' clock A. M. our party returned to College and the gym, where it invoked the presence of Clark. A few death agonies brought him forth to pursue us in mad career, until the dawn began to reveal our forms. At last, after we had upset a few beds in Barclay and sorely damaged Billy Will ' s crockery, we were persuaded to go to sleep and end the night ' s revelry. Honest labor always brings its reward, and our thorough and brilliant work in physics seemed to attract the favorable attention of the officers of the Faculty, for they relented somewhat in regard to the 33 heavy fine which our class had sustained the year before, and returned about eighteen dollars of it. Of this we voted a liberal share to Jimmy to replace the desk which members of the class had demolished. The remainder of the fund was devoted to aid in paying for our annual class dinner. But those of our class who felt a call to destructive work decided that their reputation was stained b this kindness of our preceptors, fur it seemed to insinuate that we were unable to wreak fifty dollars worth of damage in two years. An active reform was immediately prosecuted, and a great revival of dis- order and vandalism imperiled life ami limb within Barclay Hall. To the Bastile ! echoed the mid- night shout as the frenzied vandals tore up and down stairs and corridors, bearing vessels of burning incense, flaming torches and terrible bludgeons. The crash of breaking doors, the heavy thud of falling beds, and the loud cries of pursuers and pursued often resounded on the still night air. Then followed an era of mutual distrust, when all men barred their doors before retiring and kept Indian clubs within reach of their beds. Little gatherings would occur in the small hours of the morning where the deal of the cards would decide how large an allotment of upsetting beds should devolve upon each one. That was the last year of a proctor in I larclay 1 1 all. ( ne cheerful eve the inhabitants of the first floor were reminded of the power of gravitation and the wetness of water by the fall of large boxes of H2O from the third floor. These proceedings attracted the attention of our genial proctor, who hastened to the source of trouble. In a neighboring room several inno- cent, though interested observers, received the brunt of the admonition, while the wicked culprits were safe in hiding, out in the gutter. Incidents such as these varied the monotonv of our Sophomore vear. The fight on the stairs, just before Christmas, was an occasion never to be forgotten. A small but valiant band of Sophomores held the south staircase of our sadly abused dormitory against a strong attacking party of Freshmen. Fire hoses and other artillery played vigorously both on assailants ami defendants as the fight continued by the light of a burning broom. But Thermopylae was repeated, and after the struggle it was our valor, rather than our victory, which gave us satisfaction. That same night a daring Freshman who was full of guile was invaded by Kratz and others. The resistance was short, but desperate, and the injured Twad was borne groaning to the rear of battle. Then, came George to the rescue, emphatically pronouncing a furious oration, by ■ which he put the foe to flight and won for himself a lasting place on the class debating team. 34 The close of our first half year was marked by several memorable incidents and occasions. One was a long discussion in class meeting over the payment of fift) cents to Schabacker for a chicken which had been employed to serve the class. The untimely decease of the hen had made the service of less value to us than fifty cents, h was about this time that Bob ' s imitation of Dr. II— — s walk put half tin class to rout one night when mischief was on. This was the time, too, of the greal series of dual whist games played in No. - ' 4. The weariness of Clark in math was always noticeable, for he was behind on sleep from defending the gym at all hours of the night. But the star occasion of this season was that one when Bradley, with pale face and clenched fist began his perennial plea for justice. Mid vears came and went, leaving us with more wisdom and more condition-, than ever before. It is worth mentioning that there were several of the classwho passed physics, while over half of usgloriously conquered analytics. The burning of Denbeigh Hall was well attended by 11)04, in spite of the invitation sent to Ike to keep his midnight wandering boys at home. This event has been historically chronicled in so many various and. conflicting ways, and it has been celebrated so copiously in legend and lore, that an accurate description of what happened that night cannot be given in these pages. Suffice it to say that our heroes covered themselves with glory. The best work, scholars, agree, was done b) Schabacker. who in a mad desire to save the pieces threw an immense bundle of dishes and bric-a- brac out of a second story window, and with his own hands snatched a bed tick from the devouring flames. In athletics and oratorical contests this year was a very successful one for us. The debating team of Helbert, Wills and Burgess was declared victorious over the Freshmen, in spite of the yellow peril with which the judges were threatened. Then, for the second time we won the banner given for prelimin- 35 ■ , -- b ran 1 1 1 lis A wM m arv training on the track. In the annual spring sports we only secured third place, but won 24 y 2 points, for which Folwell, Lowry, Bevan, Perkins, Thorn, Bonbright and the Morrises were responsible. In the dual meet with Lehigh. I lad took first in the mile, breaking the college record. In gymnastics, Haig, Chris, Bonbright and Thomas were on the first team. In cricket, the Morrises, Bevan and Bonbright played regularly on the College eleven. )ur class cricket team defeated that of 1905 for the loss of only two wickets on our part, and with- out the assistance of Chris or Bob. That was good for a starter, but we had Ed. Bevan to bowl for us in those days. Then we met the Seniors to settle the College championship. These experts had many of the first eleven men on their team, aud therefore presented a formidable proposition, but against the consistent bowling of Bonbright and Bevan they scored but 77 ' , which total we succeeded in passing, the .Morrises making about two-thirds of the runs. ne more victory for )0 was in the Everett extemporaneous speaking contest. The class selected the team after hearing a preliminary contest between seven picked men. Among these. Thorn easily excelled, with a brief, but most literary dissertation on his favorite author. Dr. Johnson. Although, owing to the undeveloped appreciation of the class. Thorn was not chosen, nevertheless, Lester, Herbert, Stokes and Wills won the contest from the Freshman quartette. We enjoyed hearing the annual Junior play, especially because we had begun to plan for our own. But in at least one respect we then resolved to surpass our elders, namely, in the oft emphasized quality of clearness. This element, we feared, had been sacrificed in the attempt to mystify the listener, when at the end, in perplexity we questioned: What was it all about, and why? The first opera, the Great T. T. T. Robbery, by C. L. Seiler, 02, was given that year with great success. A few of our fellows participated, and West had a principal part. During the second half year the class divided its attention between math and Bugs, although one member of our class showed a great interest in both. Westy tried to dissolve a seventeen year locust in milk at the table, and as a reward for his devotion to science was invited to leave the dining room for the space of a week. In chemistry all instincts of wanton revelry on the part of members of our class were completely crushed. Morris first and Morris second were now for the first time clearly differentiated. One of 36 the features of the class was the attempt by Lester to know something about NaCl, and explain the ua of IIji ). All the surplus energies of the students were poured into laboratory work, and great quantities of Chlorine and Hydrochloric acid were manufactured. Some fellows tried to do two years ' , work in one — and in the end, everybody passed. While Haines Brinton was completing his first reading of Kant ' s Critique of Pure Reason, spring vacation and final examinations came and went. During those last good days in June we took our full share of joy. Very few finals fell to our lot, so we passed the balmy afternoons under the trees, and spent some of the evenings at Willow Grove. On class day night some hungry individuals were guilty of the unhinging of the refrigerator, a general invasion of the pantry and the capture of root Leer and other prizes. But this was the last act of violence in a restive year. With a growing tendency toward sobnet) of char- acter, we bade farewell to Haverford for a season, until we should return for the more dignified duties of Junior vear. D. Lawrence Burgess. ■ slto 37 Roberts Hall NCE more we gathered around the tireless fireplaces of Barclay and greeted each other with more or less open anus, but somehow we were not the same as of yore; each familiar face seemed to have become more ancient: each youthful mind seemed to have assumed an added responsibility; 1 Head of hair seemed prematurely grey — except Chris Morris ' , for he hadn ' t much to change color — in short, there seemed to be a something, an all per- vading something which hovered over Nineteen Four. Suddenly, as it by magic, the mighty truth dawned upon its all. We were Upper Classmen! And so, amidst the hallowed halls of Haverford began our Junior year; a year fraughl with possibilities; and destined to go down to history as one of the most successful in the existence of our class. 39 I have said that we gathered around the fireless fireplaces of Barclay, but this is merely a figure of ■-lurch, and as this is above all things a truthful history, such poetic license cannot go unchallenged. In truth, many of us did SO gather, but there were others, five brave, dauntless spirits who wended their way into a distant and unknown hall known as Lloyd and there took up their residence. Of course such a change of abode required much moving of old furniture and buying of new. and when one of the lucky Lloyders made a trip up town for this purpose, accompanied by his entire family, speculation among the gossips became rife as to what the new purchases would turn out to be. Excitement, aided by oracular silence on the part of the millionaire, became intense and the College could hardly contain itself until, a few days later, a large wagon drove slowly up to Lloyd. Two stalwart negroes, surrounded by an admiring crowd, slowly and carefully unloaded the huge van and deposited — two chairs and a table upon the porch! Shades of Astor and of Vanderbilt, for what a fall was there my countrymen! But despite such incidents we were soon settleil. and tho ' this is not a dissertation on open grates, I cannot help remarking what good old times and talks we had during the long winter evenings around the blazing logs — for the fireplaces in Lloyd will burn. How, with lights turned out and pipes aglow we would while away the night discussing every human vice and virtue till only ashes remained as a reminder of the cheerful evening blaze, and happy and contented we straggled off to bed and pleasant dreams of things as yet undone. ne familiar face was missed from among our ranks this year, and great was the loss thereof, for Eddie Bevan was a tower of strength to both class and College on the cricket field, and a rattling good fellow as well. But they say that all things are for the best, and probably Ed will be the president of Baldwin ' s or some other like concern, while some of us who further pursued the paths of knowledge will still be cutting our hands and griming our faces in the foul pit of appre nticeship. )f course. College, fall and football are intimately interwoven, and on the gridiron the interests of ' 04 were well supported by Thorn, Perkins and others, while Thomas, as captain of the scrub, did much toward making this body efficient, and thus making good practice for the first eleven. But lie fore hurrying on to the exciting events of the winter. I must mention the unfortunate and serious accident which befell President Sharpless while driving, which deprived the College of his services for about two months. However, toward Thanksgiving, we were all more than glad to welcome him back again, apparently as hale and hearty as before the event. But his reappearance was almost immediately 40 signalized by the temporary loss of cue of our number, due principally to a great desire to abseril himself from his recitations— in short, to overcutting. Horace Greely aptly advised the young man of his day to Go west. ' . ' In our ease the proverb was reversed and West went. but not for very long, for a few weeks later, after the Christmas holidays, we once mure saw him in our midst, apparently none the worse for his adventure— barring an increase in his aversion to all forms of collegiate restraint, hut with great i interest in his duties as leader of the Mandolin Club. Ever) year it has been customary for the Musical Club to give a concert at College the last night before the Christmas holidays. twin- ' to the non-completion of Roberts Hall, our new auditorium, this was impossible in our Junior year, and the hopes of the Musical Association were shattered. Thus the representatives of 1.104 who plunk the banjo and tinkle the tuneful mandolin were unable to sit basking in the smiles of their mothers and sisters— not to mention some other chap ' s sister— while they struggled thro ' some rag-time ditty and trusted the other fellow to play all the high notes. However, later in the year, the operetta given by the Cdee Club more than made up for any deficiency in the line of instrumental music, and what man of ' 04 did not swell with pride when the bloodthirsty utterances of Bill Bradley, lieutenant of the bandits, and arch conspirator, circulated thro ' the crowded houses, and what maid in all those audiences, be she ever so young, did not turn to her companion and whisper rapturously Isn ' t he just sweet? And again we .lid ourselves proud, for was not Jimmy Stokes unanimously conceded to be the best actor in that galaxy of histrionic talent, and his voice— well it ' s seldom one hears a voice like Timmie ' s; and on second thoughts, perhaps it ' s a good thing. But I am anticipating, for 1 had almost passed over an event of some moment in our history. Like any class we are fond of bobbing, and during the snowy season indulged our penchant to the fullest. One Sunday evening, therefore, the gang decided that a bobbing party was in order and Perkins was delegated to ' phone for the horses. Somehow, never to be explained, his modest request for the fire horses —which, when not on duty with the engine, were rented out to the highest bidder— was misunderstood. In- stantly the clanging of bells and tooting of whistles filled the air, and 111 about half an hour— record time by the wav— the whole Ardmore fire company, engine and all, arrived upon the scene and demanded in the greatest excitement, Where in H Haverford College the fire was ? And it was a pretty sore com- 41 pam that later wended its way slowly homeward, convinced of the idea that it was more or less a victim of horsing. And then came mid-years with their awful hardships, followed by the third quarter, which always seems the time for harder, more serious work, and which brings with it more active interest in literary exercises, such as debating. Tim ' our class team of Lester, Wills, I Ielhert and Stokes (alternate) was ni ' l successful in its argument with 1903 on the efficacy of the British form of government, compared with our own, two members of it, Helbert and Lester (alternate) were on the College team in the Pennsylvania debate. This team was successful, conclusively proving its contention that the army canteen should be restored. The debate was at Haverford, and the College kindly set up the team and the judges to a li ' isv dinner. 1 If course the thieving propensities of some of our members had to be exhibited on this occasion, and it was only after some lively Nick Carter detective work and some hot sprinting on the part of two husky coons that Thorn and Thomas were compelled to forego their stolen booty of ice cream — a la can (Chris Morris, with his usual luck, escaped even suspicion.) It ' s a wonderful faculty some members of ' 04 seem to have — this trying to gel something for little or nothing. It seems to me that some of them would make mighty good stock gamblers, for they are willing sometimes to take heavy chances for the sake of gain, as when H. X. T.. risking pneumonia, rolled — sans vetements — in the snow drifts in front of Lloyd, at fifty cents per roll; or when J. M. S., one lovely March evening at ten thirty, made a record-breaking trip — in the same condition — from the College to the station and back for the modest littli sum of three-fifty. But 1 must cease ruminating and get back to my subject. Ash Wednesday saw a revival in the religious proclivities of some of our number, and scarcely a da passed during Lent which did not see ' 04 well represented at church. Did you, gentle reader, ever notice the wonderful devotion of some men at this period? 1 low, neglecting their daily avocations, each aftern 1, with a far-away look in their eyes, the) set bravely forth, arrive at church shortly after the col- lection, anil then walk back discussing, we must suppose, the text and sermon with some member of the fair sex? Thus daily did those two enthusiasts, Hill and Had, set forth — but why say more? Sprinsy was now fast approaching, and almost all our spare time was taken up rehearsing for the Jun- ior play. Three times a week did we go over the parts, and gradually the momentous day drew nigh. And then it was found that again would that hoodoo, Roberts 1 fall, defeat the well-laid schemes of college students, 42 ,iiul by its strenuous objection to being finished necessitate the postponment of the play until May 15th. In the interim came the spring vacation, and a most enjoyable cruise indulged in by some of the Play Committee and another member of the class, furnished them with renewed vigor to prosecute the work, and seme very fine additions to their already well-stocked vocabularies. We returned to College a few days before the momentous fifteenth, and great was the excitement incident ti the final and dress rehearsals. West, who had Keen ill for two months, returned and helped his fellow committeemen in the last few details. Then the long-looked for day arrived, and rather a gloomy one it was. at that. Mow we worked, hanging lanterns and placing seats! How we watched the clouds, and how our hearts sank when at four o ' clock it began to rain! And how thankful we were when at seven the stars were shining over as perfect a nighl as it often tails to the lot of man to see! Rapidlj the nearly completed Roberts began to fill with an eager crowd, which wonderingly beheld ;. stage devoid of every sort of setting except a few scattered palms. At eight the lights went out. and a moment later it was filled with as handsome a crowd of singing coons as one would care to behold. Never will some of us forget the wave of surprise which swept over the audience at this unexpected denoue- ment. f the minstrel show itself there is not much to say. for every one who was there will remember the jokes and stories of our end men. and to describe the scene to one who was not would be almost impossible. Bryn Mawr. the Faculty, the dear old College itself, and last. Inn not least, our fellows, each received their bit of horsing and the final chemistry burlesque, with John R. Thomas in the leading role of Dr. I- ' .. I ' .eats All. made a fit ending to a most successful show. Many were the exclamations of surprise and delighl as our guests filed out into the open air and the brilliantly lighted grounds were spread out before them. Supper and a general good time followed, and the people, well-fed, contented and happy, unani- mously conceded that the Junior Day of the Class of 1004 was one of the most enjoyable and successful ever given in Haverford, to which opinion we one and all most heartily agreed. Cricket, from now on. claimed most of our energies, and as usual we were well represented on the field by Captain C. C. Morris. 11. H. Morris. Bonbright, Lowry, Polwell, llaig and others. twing partly to the loss of our howler. I ' .evan. the class team was defeated and lost the college championship. The weather being very warm during the latter part of the term, loose and comfortable clothing- became the order of the day. Now it is a curious fact, demonstrated by theory and experiment, that in pro- 43 portinn as he dons lighter and more washable clothes, the college man ' s desire to rough-house at meals increases. In this class of college activities ' 04 cannot be outdone. With Chris Morris, E. P. West and H. X. Thorn as leaders, it ' s a mighty safe proposition to back them in every edible scrap that conies their way. Things in this respect had gone rapidly from bad to worse, and finally, after Chris had forcibly taken a two-quart milk bath one night at supper, they came to a crisis. The Senior Class endeavored to interfere in a matter in which they had absolutely no authority, and bad feeling might have resulted from their unwarranted action. However, the difficulty was smoothed over and our class resumed its normal manners, not because of ' 03, but rather because our clothes were being rapidly reduced in looks and numbers by this style of warfare. Almost at the end of the college year we were surprised by a sudden departure of Lindley M. Perkins. Perk for three years had been a member of the class, and we were very sorry that his family had decided that business, and not college, was the place for him. and thus deprived us of his cheery grin forever. It has always been a sort of college tradition that the Junior class should take the lead in all matters pertaining to the heart, and I think we fully did our share to uphold this time honored custom. Gallantly led by Hill and Harold we did all in our power to captivate the coy maidens of Haverford. At the cricket games, teas and Merion proms, 04 was much in evidence, and if mere association with the fair sex would have made us benedicts, we would all have been so long ago. But there is a saying that still waters run deep and while some of us were prosecuting the hunt here at home openly and above board. one, more subtle and more serious than all the rest, was playing in earnest with the heart of a fair damsel at a New England college. Ami so it came as a surprise when old P. D. Folwell, our baby elephant, announced his engagement. Tho ' he is careful in the extreme it is well to warn him against the absent-mindedness caused by Cupid ' s darts, and perhaps the fate of a Professor of English who committed matrimony in the spring vacation of our Junior year ma) ' serve as a gentle reminder. This exponent of phraseology of h ' im 1 am speaking used to inhabit the halls of Barclay and watch unflinchingly over the conduct of its inmates. Ever since Freshman year, when he fined us fifty dollars for wanton vandalism, has Hanky posed as the Patron Saint of 1904. and many a night, candle in hand, has he stolen warily upon some noisy group, attired in — mystery. But as I was saying, he got his dates mixed somehow, and took out a license for 44 the ceremony several weeks before it was scheduled to come off. The papers got hold of it the next day- and now he believes in press censorship. With this as a warning to the matrimonially inclined, 1 will bring this brief sketch to a close. For eight more short months had we lived together in the intimate contact of college life. Another one of those four all-too-short years had slipped away and once more we parted on our several wavs with a knowledge of firmer friendships, closer ties, and, above all. a more enduring love for Haverford and Nineteen Four. George Kingman Heubert. 45 Lloyd Hall SENIOR YEAR HE flaming- torch is thrust into my hand and I am bidden to run my lap with the right Promethean fire well alight. Truly the gods are just, and of our present vices make they whips to plague us ! We came back to college this fall with feelings strange and unanalyzable. For three years we had striven to attain this pinnacle, even from our distant Freshman days, when the name i upper classman was a word to con- jure with : and when Hilly Wills. prefacing his speeches in class meet- ings by that immortal statement, 1 have been talking with sev- eral Seniors. never failed to pro- duce in us an awed and trembling silence. And now, as the French say, we had arriven ; we had attained to the stars: in the vernacular, we were the biggest thing in sight and we gloried in the fact. We found it prudent and best to humor the President and the Hoard of Managers to some extent, so they might think they were still running the college, and sometimes we spoke kindly to the Freshmen, especially if we were striving to tell them something. Hut we never forgot ourselves. We were Seniors in name at least. ( ur gowns proved a serious problem for the first few days, for being unused to that sort of apparel we experienced great difficulty in walking on windy days. Then, too. in going upstairs they always managed to entangle us completely, and, at this helpless stage, trip us so that we would fall heavily. But, practice makes perfect, and we soon learned to stalk about the campus and into lectures and meetings, with what seemed comparative ease to the uncritical eye. Our numbers were increased at the beginning of the year by the addition of Andrew. Blanchard, Charles, Lindley and Wells. Blanchard, I regret to say, was compelled to return to his home in the South on account of poor health before many of the fellows had become fairly acquainted with him. Also we were glad to welcome to our dining room Takeo Arishima. of Tokio, Japan, as a graduate student. We found the old Grammar School building had been converted into a dormitory during the summer: and as Merion Cottage, alias the Ardmore House, it has entered into a new period of usefulness under the charge of Dr. Reid and Joe Clark. As usual the football season absorbed all our energies during the first two months of college. Starting out rather disastrously, we steadily increased in power up to the time of the Swarthmore game. Xo Haverford team has ever gone out on the field against Swarthmore in finer physical condition, and our splendid fitness was altogether due to the work of Dr. Babbitt. Although we did not win the game, except for the first ten minutes we did ourselves proud: and taking a wonderful brace in the second half, we not only succeeded in scoring, but outplayed one of the best teams Swarthmore has ever had. Every Haverford man went away with a feeling in his hones that such another defeat would mean a victory for Haverford. Scattergood s work as head coach was strenuous and conscientious ; but much of the season ' s success belongs to Thorn. Besides playing an inspiring game himself, he took a large share in the coaching. Lind- ley and Thorn both got their Hs, while scrub emblems were awarded to Kratz and Schabacker. Schab- acker also received the cup for the most consistent work on the scrub (luring the season. 48 After Thanksgiving we resolved to live a quiet; studious life, and to smoke our pipes peacefully before the fire. Bui there was a demon in our midst not to be denied. What are you going to do next year? This question was broached by Mime irreverent person and all joy instantly died. i ur faces became stern and grave as we proceeded to consider the future. We had vaguely heard of the great world, a place where little boys fare badly and where cake and jam are to he had only at the sweat of one ' s brow. We shuddered at the pros- pect of exchanging our comfortable rooms for some microscopic hall bed-room; and the necessity of arising shortly after midnight to go to work became a veritable nightmare. These discussions sometimes lasted far into the night. ( ur future empire builders gave free rein to their imaginations and often Thorn was heard to exclaim. ( Hi! 1 wish 1 had a million dollars! And then, thanking a k _-n that a few olden months had yet to be numbered, our friends hade us good night. e arose and knocking out our pipes into the dying lire, we woke up the bird and went to bed. For certain less seriously minded individuals matrimony had a morbid fascination as a subject of conversation. The) wasted hours talking about what sort of girl they were going to marry. Some inclined to tin- frivolous and fluffy; some, to the plain and intellectual. Some held the proper way of matin- was to find the right person and fall in love with her deliberately with eyes wide open. i Ithers declared love to be a glorious madness whose power no mortal can withstand. And who would deny the potency of this passion since it can, to my knowledge, take a man away from college on the eve of the Swarthmore game and keep him away for the entire week ensuing : Besides discussing the theory of matrimony many of our little hand were not behind hand in the practice, at least, of its preliminaries. In this connection 1 will make a brief quotation from the pagi 49 the Bryn Maivr Record — There is a rumor afloat, however, that .Mr. Fohvell is not the only member of the Senior class that has been affected by Cupid ' s darts. One of the most popular members of the Lloyd Hall coterie will probably announce his engagement at the beginning of the new year. One of the charm- ing summer resorts saw the beginning- of this idyllic romance. The gentleman in question is now seldom seen about college: but there is no doubt that he has more than a nodding acquaintance with the conduc- tors of the Germantown trains. Some unkind persons accused George Helbert of thus hobnobbing with the Germantown train men: but he promptly gave the lie to this theory by denouncing the Record corre- spondent for defaming the fair name of Manny Kimber. These, kindly reader, are the facts of the case: having paid your good money you are at liberty to take your choice. Here I must say a word in commending the Sophomdres. With a wisdom quite out of proportion to their tender years they resolved to do away with the brutal Freshmen-Sophomore snowball fight. Their courage in thus sitting aside a harmful college custom is, to say the least, admirable. This I feel is a step in the right direction. May we ever advance along this line. May we grow yearly more gentle, more .esthetic: in short, more like the lambkins of Bryn Mawr. A few days after the Christmas holidays the insidious mid-years found us unprepared as usual. Days and nights of ceaseless grinding were the portion of some unfortunates, while a lew fellows had a fortnight ' s loaf interrupted by two exams. Genial Psyche Snipes blew into the class about this time. With the beginning of the third quarter we started to recite Ethics with the president, and the short season of questioning which opened every hour made us rub our eyes and expect to wake up in the Chemical lecture room. One hold lad leered insolently at the great man and suggested that there was some doubt as to whether we were to have an exam in Ethics. Somebody, I am not saying who. had a sus- picion of a twitch about the corner of his mouth as he urbanely bade the questioner to keep on doubting and G. 1 . H. hit the floor with a resounding whack. Sickness this year at the beginning of a quarter has meant no more cuts until next quarter, and many were the mourners going about the halls crying out in their despair. A cut. a cut. my kingdom for a cut! But there was no cut given them. These things were not so when James A. was consul. Some maiden ' s smile, or it may have been some patent medicine, wrought a wondrous change in esty during the summer, and he returned to college a greasy grind. One day in the Electrical Lab. he 50 concentrated his mind so hard that it short-circuited the wires and Westy was hurled half way across the room with a — you know — of a yell. He was picked up not much the worse for wear; but let us hope this accident is not to lie taken as an omen of a career of crime leading up to the electric chair. In April came the debate with Pennsylvania. 1904 was represented on the victorious Haverford team by Lester, who was chairman, and Helbert. Gradually the spring recovered from her bashfulness, and began to get in some rather fine work on the campus : but Quaker week found us with unclothed trees and outside cricket practice only just begun. A few piles of dirt and stone at one corner of Cope Field marked the foundations of the Cricket Pavilion. After vacation we returned to a fair green land literally flowing with iced tea and strawberries. The only cloud in an otherwise serene sky was a still small voice that spoke warninglv of the ides of May and graduation theses. There was something pathetic about the way we tried to enjoy what remained to us of college life. It was as if that verse of the worldly wise )mar were ever dinning in our ears: Ah. make the most of what ye yet may spend. Each fleeting golden moment we tried to grasp and hold : but somehow it slipped between our fingers and left only a memory tinged with sadness. Tremulously sweet we found those last days as we practiced in the nets, wandered along country roads, played French cricket after dinner, or smoked our pipes in the gathering twilight. And who is there of us returning from a walk on one of those perfect Sunday afternoons in May has not felt something queer in his throat as he passed through the Conklin gate and caught sight of Barc- lay Hall with its abbey-like spire and its windows peeping out through the green ivy? And all the way along the granolithic walk under the chestnut trees did we not hug ourselves with a certain fierce joy at the thought 51 that although another May is destined to find us scattered broadcast, nothing can rob us of those four long years at Haverford, and that the memories of those years and the friendships we have formed in their course will last as long as life itself? If we forget thee, ( 1 [averford, let our years become as a barren waste; let us have no pleasure in them if we prefer thee not above our chief joy. And, now, since the bird of time is fluttering perilously near to the loth of June, what have we to say of ourselves before we take our leave? Charles II. as he lay in the dark valley, summed up his whole life in that famous: I am afraid, gentlemen, I am an unconscionable time a-dying. Truly the class about whom it can be said only that they spent an unconscionable time making trouble for the faculty would be little better than the profligate king. But I am sure it is far otherwise with our class. This is not the place to placard individual achievement; but rather to consider what we have done for the college as a class. To put it briefly, as Freshmen, as Sophomores, as Juniors, we have well filled our place in the Haverford world, and Senior year found us ready to adequately direct the politics of the college, to set a standard of scholar- ship fully up to the average of the classes that have gone before, and to throw the influence of our characters on the right side as we perceived the right. But, finally, and most important — what has the college done for us There is a vast difference between the crowd of fellows that gathered around Founders ' steps that September morning four years ago and the same crowd that will pass out of Roberts ' Hall in June as I [averford Alumni. Their pictures, if taken, on these two occasions, might serve as an advertisement of a college course, before and after taking. We will not remember the facts about mathematics or chemistry that we have acquired here, hut habits of mind inevitabh endure. The inspiring personality of the faculty has also changed us as by fire: to have spent four years studying under such men is a liberal education in itself. Haverford has not made us all scholars, but she has shown us how to be men. So here ' s to good old college, and may the class of [904 be ever as in this day — honest and loyal and true. The words of the scribe are ended. ROBERT PHARO LOWRY. 52 •=«« , la$$ Poem j- Life ' s like a vine, the longer it fast clings To one sole spot the stronger grow the ties Which bind it, and the deeper pain it brings When the live tendrils must be torn apart. Our Alma Mater, time has bound our heart So closely thro ' the four long years to thee, As we sat learning wisdom on thy knee, Hearing thy tale of science and of art, That, like the vine, we find it hard to bear The fate which all these tender bonds must tear. Old Founders ' bell, the hours one by one We ' ve heard ring out as we their treasures won. Treasures so great that each returning sun Saw a new self look out from every face, And saw the self of yesterday forsaken Because, perchance, a new resolve were taken, To follow hard the good and leave the base ; Or else to us a new truth was revealed As Nature ' s secrets we with toil unsealed, Or any act well done, or game well played, Or thousand other things from man or book Which made ourselves when cast into the mould. But now we take one long, fond, backward look, The hours have all been tolled and we are made. Ye winds of memory, waft from out the past 54 Sounds of the rough-house echoing long and fast, Of roving bands which never sought to please But made night hideous and devoid of ease. Waft from the class-room that discordant sound, The death throes of the ignorance of youth; While we, with groans, swallowed great pills of truth As the professors gaily forced them down. Hard at the start was learning ' s stormy path. As full of pitfalls as a verb in Greek ; O ' er Latin comp. we ' d sorrow week by week Or wreck our manhood on a quiz in Math. The room would reek with pity by all shared. When the poor culprit murmured unpre- pared, Or, like the drowning man as saith the saw, He ' d try to clutch the unsustaining straw. And bluff; but like the drowning man he fared. But we were led by those who knew the way, At first in darkness : then there burst a ray Across the unlit heaven of our thought, Our progress with less and less pain was brought, Until the faint dawn brightened into day. Then for the first we saw what we had sought, In front the boundless fields of knowledge lay. Give me, O Muse; the power to rehearse How we the secrets of the Universe 55 Searched out. Asking of all things whence and why, Investigating planet, sine or pi. Some tried in Chemic L.ab. their ends to serve, But nearly killed their own olfactory ner.e, From beauteous Nature stinks they made to pass. But found, she, like themselves, reduced to gas. And some in Mathematics found their joy, With long infinitudes they ' d lightly toy. Some sang with Horace who sweet Cloe adored, Or inmost regions of the cat explored, Or analyzed the fudge at midnight ' s hour, Or raised the devil to the 2nth power, Or bottled bugs, or weighed the earth ' s round ball. In short, to make it clear, we learned it all. But as we deeper studied and more knew, Greater our wonder at creation grew. Dimly thro ' all the seen we felt we saw The unseen speak in Nature ' s every law. We had but launched upon a boundless sea To voyage from mystery, to mystery ; Children we came, children we still must be, And thus we saw that college but began, The endless life of learning lined by man. On where a stream ' s directed at its source Depends the whole position of its course. Our source, Our Alma Mater, was with thee True the beginning, so may the ending be. And when in all our lives great deeds we find. We ' ll trace them back to where our heart or mind Received the impulse from the lips of those Whose lives are petals of thy life ' s fair rose. 56 Together have we lived the four years thro ' , At each new common task our friendship grew, So that as one by one the seasons pass, Each draws our hearts still closer to our class, Each gives new meaning to the nought and four, Each makes us love it stronger than before, But none so much as this one when we part. Our class will leave our eyes but find our heart. Oh, may that vision splendid ; our ideal, Be fought for, till in life we make it real, So that when life ' s long years are almost o ' er, When thinking of those times with Nine= teen=four, Amid the myriad memories which rise. That college ideal stands before our eyes. The brightest recollection of those days, May we shrink not in shame from its derision, But seeing it grow real before our gaze, Find we ourselves to be that youthful vision.

Withers 59 Stmtws I ™ N Freshman year, after the beginning of the third quarter, our fellows began to have a yearning, a craving for the _ filling oi a great vacancy which soon found expression in the popular cry of li. for a good class dinner! Not that we hadn ' t been getting sufficient nourishment to sustain us under the mental strain of class work, hut there seemed to have come upon us all a great desire to eat a good, hearty meal together away from the usual herd. Such a dinner we finally decided to give, and a committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements as well as to collect the required funds. Ever judicious in our appointments, we made that connoisseur of gastronomic indigestibilities, P. D. Folwell, chairman of the committee, and he was assisted by Helhert. Powell and West. Through the kindness of a member we were enabled to have our dinner at the Manufacturers ' Club, and at about 7.30 o ' clock on the evening of February 23rd. [901, the fellows might have been seen bounding in. each one with an expectant lustre in his eye and a dormant taste in his mouth, for great was our faith in the committee ' s ability to procure a suitable lay-out. Xor were we the victims of misplaced confidence. One ravenous lad alone seemed to have a slight disappointment, for search as he would, Kratz couldn ' t find the plank with his shad ; and Schau. when dickering for a second claret frappe, was heard to beseech the waiter for a little less frappe. The dinner itself was verv quiet 60 and dignified for a Freshman crowd, everybody seeming to be conscious of his primary object in being present. As the coffee was finished, and the devils were reclining gracefully with lighted coffin nails between their lips, the toastmaster arose with all the conscious dignity of a first offender and proceeded i give vent t his pent-up enthusiasm. Little did we realize at that time what a latent power of eloquence that soul possessed, for a- yet we had not fully come to appreciate the 1 [ell-bird. As for the toasts — ye gods and little fishhooks —The Ladies, not others but themselves are they. Thorn struggled with this, hut was too prejudiced to think in the plural, and after a brief classification subsided. In The Terrors of Starvation, Folwell took but little interest, indeed he had so little appreciated those terrors that his only response was a request to please go ' way and let him sleep. Am 1 not fallen away vilely! Do I not dwindle? Why my skin hangs about me like an old lady ' s loose gown ! 1 am indeed like an old apple-John. Chris Morris, Powell, West, Megear and Bradley likewise turned loose some of their youthful exuberance mi favorite toasts which had been given them some weeks before. Why is it, please tell me, that everybody who tries t i respond to a toast either makes one long- apologetic excuse or tries to repeat some musty old yarn on which Chauncey Depew has the sole copy- right? But let that pass, as well it may, and see if a year of college with Hancock ' s forensics can produce an) noticeable improvement. Again in Sophomore year was that now perennia craving reawakened, and once more was Folwell called forth as chef de cuisine. with Helbert and Morris 2nd on his right and left hands. The success of the previous dinner was still with us. and thus encouraged, almost the entire class was assembled to grub-stake their claims on March 22nd. The dinner was even more acceptable than before and more elaborate, too, for as I looked down the line, bottles of sparkling, bubbling ambrosia did I see being emptied into tall, thin glasses. Withers and Helbert touched goblets. Ah! what luck in Apollinaris! We had decided to present a pipe to an absent member and wanted to christen it here, by each one taking a puff, but far be it from all of us to let that foul smoke pass our ruby lips, so the pipe of peace and good will was presented unchristened. All this time Thorn, as toastmaster, had been wielding the gavel like a sledge hammer, for so spontaneous had the oratory become that everybody was trying to express his own candid con- victions on morality at once. Finally Wills, our boy orator, got the door and expressed his sentiments with the exclamation: ( )h, fudge. Now. be it said, Billy is an authority on this and knows whereof he speaks. 61 Verily a Mrs. Rorer in pants. Reputation is a powerful factor in a man ' s make-up, and thus it was that Burgess was asked to give a dissertation on Ping-Pong, which at that time threatened to put the Ardmore pool tables out of business. Here Deacon came out strong, demanding that every element of professionalism be eradicated, and implored us all to remember that the game ' s the thing. It can be truthfully said that many of the speeches almost brought tears to our eyes. Strange it is that some natures are extremely irre- pressible, and again Helbert began to work on our emotions. The most noticeable difference from his speech of last year lav, not so much in the words or ideas expressed, as in a certain swinging motion of the arms and a rather spasmodic contraction of the hands. This turned out to be the first stage in the evolution of the famous Hancockian gestures. Now I hear some irreverent youth ask if Dr. Bolles takes that same course. But aside from all these digressions, the class dinners were most enjoyable and relaxing. The food was good — the speeches bad; thus we struck the golden mean which left us in good comradeship with each other. 62 Class Feed Junior Play A Night of Darkness PRESENTED BY The Class of 1904 CAST.

Sheldon and Bradley ran a dead heat for this honor, Charles being the only other competitor worthy of mention. A timely hair-cut might have helped Bradley into first place. 2. Who thinks lie isf I telbert won this, beating ' out Snipes by one vote. 5. Who is the best athlete? C. C. Morris ' s notoriety in international cricket easily carried this vote. Thorn and Haig tied for second. 4. Who thinks he is? This question was hotly contested, the Eblematics class voting en masse for Bonbright. The Morris brothers tied for second honors. 5. Who is the most old maidish? Tea and fudge secured this title for Wills. Brinton and Crowell each received four votes. 0. Who is the prettiest. ' The class was almost unanimous in giving this to Bradley. Others had not the face to compete. 7. Who is the biggest fusser? H. H. Morris earned this place by his steady and untiring efforts in this direction, with Bradley a poor second. One vote was cast for Stokes. 68 8. Who tries to be? Stokes, 1 an overwhelming majority! p. Who is the best natural. ' i Kratz, 2 Ilaiu; , 3 Lester. Kratz ' s four-inch smile won from the- rest of the field by at least six centimeters. to. Who is the grouchiest? Is life worth living?

Who is the laziest: All large bodies move slowly, and Folwell is no exception to this well known Newtonian law. He only moves at meal times. 18. Who is the tightest? Stokes and Megear seem to be the padlock bearers of the class, and Stokes has lost his key entirely. Ithers under 6 per cent. iu. Who is the brightest? 1904 is nothing if not modest, which accounts for the small number of entries in this event. Bon- bright easily out-distanced all opponents. Sheldon and West also ran. 20. Who thinks he is? Bonbright again outshines the bunch. Wills ' attempt to run against him being a sad failure. 21. Who is the hot air bird. ' Lord help us, there goes Stokes again. 22. Who will make the best husband, and why? Lester, because he never swears, drinks, or chews in the house; loves cats, monkeys and children, and often wears clean pajamas. Kimber s cheery good nature and home-loving disposition give him second place. 23. Who is the bnuiiiiest politician? Clark won this, being too bum for second place. Withers, however, the leader of the Y. M. C. A. machine, is also considered a powerful factor in college politics. 24. Who is the most versatile? This question brought forth a scattered vote. West, with his music and dyspepsia, and wide-awake Lester, with his oratory and grass widow experiences, tied for first place. 70 . ' i. Who is the class goat? Helbert ' s aspirations for ihis title first saw light in A Night of Darkness ; and so manfully has he upheld it that even Clark, who received as many as two votes, could not wrest il from him. 26. Who is the most profane? The ballot showed Thorn a must proficient in this gentle science. Thomas and Megear received VI ites t ' i ir their artistic wi irk. 27. Who is the biggest bluffer? Lester wins because he is. Megear made a good second, and Thorn pulled in third. 28. U ' hii is the biggest eater? This wa s Folwell ' s race from the start, all others excepting Snipes being content to act as spec- tators. 29. Who is the most optimistic ' Kratz and Kimber are the Happy Hooligans of 1904, Abel winning first by a comfortable margin. JO. Who is the most cheerful liar? C. C. Morris is undoubtedly the foremost liar of the class; though three years ' absence from Col- lege have by no means diminished our memories of Powell ' s achievements in this line. j . Who is the luckiest . ' Money and matrimonial prospects secured for Folwell this most coveted position. C. C. Morris tried hard for this, but only succeeded in coming off second best. 32. Who will he the most successful in future life? The betting seems to favor .Megear in the race over life ' s course. Lester also has good chances of being inside the money ' ' at the finish. 71 33- Who is the class poet? While we feel that Brinton possesses most of the spirit of Calliope. C. C. Morris easily comes next as proud author of the following ditty : Little Billy Bradley, Coming home so sadly From church one Joy Was heard to say : ' She ' s sick; I love her madly. ' 34. Who is the biggest leg puller. ' Lester ' s success in working advertisers and subscribers for Tin-: HavERFORDIan stamp him as most proficient in this line. Helbert ' s methods with the fair sex we are loath to mention. 55. ll ' ho is the biggest gospel shark? Claimants for this honor were few. as a knowledge of the Bible was not required in the entrance examinations. Bonbright ' s collection of Testaments, in thirteen different languages, and his array of Bible dictionaries and concordances give him first place. II. 11. Morris lost all claims to this title by occasional outbursts of profanity. 36. Which is the best college play. ' We consider A Night of Darkness to be the best production since the time of Shakespeare. though the introduction of a few Seniors and unearned Cricket Colors into The Queen of Hearts gave this enough distinction to secure one vote. The remembrance of the green spotted lizards and croaking raven of rox ' s Trip to Mars have long since passed away like the terrors of a lobster salad nightmare; while the most that can be said of ic)02 s Junior exhibition is that it was all that could be expected of that class. 57. Who is our favorite actress 1 . Maude Adams. _ . Ethel Barrymore. Brinton and Withers, however, have lost their hearts to Carrie Nation. 72 j ?. What is your favorite magazine? Life seems in be the most popular periodical; the American Friend tying with the Police Gazette for seci nil plaee. Some fool voted for the powder magazine. _, ' u. 117 (1 is your favorite religion? Bradley and 1 [. 11. Morris are intense Episcopalians (during Lent). Withers favors Dowieism, while Clark and Helbert prefer Mormonism. 40. What is your favorite drink. ' The taste of the class varied greatly on this subject, including all beverages from Pond ' s Extract to Hunyadi Water. Milk received the highest vote, with the Hungry Joe cocktail a close second, l.owrv votes for the Sharpless high ball. 41. What is our favorite smoke? Many would-be witty answers to this question were received, such as holy smoke, and any- thing that burns. Of the serious answers Craven Mixture heads the list, the good boys voting for sun-cured corn silk. 4?. Have xoit ever kissed a girl? Seventy-three per cent, of the class plead guilty; the remainder seem rather reticent on this point. l.indley passed over this vote, which may be due to a girl famine in Missouri. l.owrv, the Don Juan of the class, craves a dollar for every offence. _, Have u ever been to Y. M. C. A.? We take great pleasure in stating that every member of the class, except one. has been to Y. M. C. A. at least once in his college career. Fifty-seven per cent, have lead meetings there, but few have excelled the oratorical fervor of The Hellbird on one memorable occasion. 73 44- What is your favorite girl ' s name? The votes of the brazen lads show the greatest amount of affection to be centered about Margaret, Dorothy and Katharine. The more wary, however, noticing the ambiguity of this question, refuse to answer, some through bashfulness, though nunc, we hope, through shame. 4f . What institution in college most needs reforming ? n the home-stretch the V. M. C. A., the cut system and the mutton were neck and neck. But virtue proved triumphant and the Y. M. C. A. won out in record time. 6. What is your greatest achievement while in college? ' ' Staying in it four years, Bradley. Learning to play poker, Schabacker. Laughing at Babbitt ' s jokes, Brinton. Getting out of the hyperbolic clutches of Dr. Brown, Thorn. 4J. What is your favorite occupation? From the sublime to the ridiculous do these range. Imagine Bonbright on a soap box preaching to pagan cannibals, and Helbert picking flowers off century plants; or picture Brinton, high mogui in the sanctum of the American Friend, or Lester and Kratz wooing their favorite widows. .V. What would you do if you had a million dollars ' Nothing. Bum. Get another waiter for the Senior dining room. Buy ' Doggie ' Collins a new dog. Other answers n t w irth recording. I ' ). What is the greatest event in your college course? To many our Junior Play was the greatest event, while the first experience of being ' dumped ' out of bed has left a lasting impression. Withers says the first nightly visit of the Sophomores. 74 in. (I ' zu is your idea of an ideal wife? The general opinion of the class on this subject seems to be as follows: Neat, but not gaudy, tall or short, blonde or brunette. She must be a good musician, must not have cold feet, and above all must iii t be a Bryn Mawr graduate. _t . What is your cud in life? Varied were the answers to this ethical question, which opened up a great field for the jokers oi the class. Hoi well said. The grave; Bradley, To make others happy ! ? !: while one, more witty than the rest, declared that as yet he had not seen his finish. f the serious minded replies we consider Thorn ' s the noblest ; namely, To raise four sets of male triplets and get up a football team to heat Swarthmore! Well done, Thorny! 75 • v ■ ' 1 leK - 91 The Faculty Statistics of the Faculty Sharpless . . Thomas . . . Hall .... GlFFORD . . Edwards . . Gummere . . Brown . . . Mustard . . Collins . . Pratt ....

Morris, ' Varsity Team T RULY the first interest that attracts our attention, as every new college year opens up, is that 1 football. So it was in Freshman year; so it was this year, and so may il ever be. It is the ideal sport for the men of American colleges, promoting, as it does, a decisive self reliance, and an ability to quickly comprehend situations. Just what part this game has played in the development of our men it would, of course, be extremely difficult to determine. But none of us, as we review the past four seasons, can look back and feel remorse for such an expenditure of our time and effort as we may have made. There have been times of cheer and times of gloom, times of victory and also of defeat. 89 ' Varsity Squad It is, indeed, difficult for the college man t look on defeat from thai good philosophic view- point where the joy lies in the striving. The younger, more enthusiastic nature demands results, and deep down in the bottom of his heart so, likewise, does the dignified old philosopher, I ' ll wager. It has always been our aim, however, to put up a square game, and to make the sport, as nearly as possible, what a collegiate sport should lie. In such an endeavor we are trying to avoid all semblance of professionalism of whatever form, and to accomplish this we are striving to perfect a plan of graduate coaching and training. This system, as established on its present basis, has been in force hut a few years, ei promises lair fur the future. For the last two years I. Henry Scattergood, ' 96, has had charge of the coaching, and has brought out er creditable teams, especially in our Senior year. The training of the men was in the hands of Dr. J. V Babbitt, 1 ' . G., ' 96, and never has a Haverford team gone onto the held in better physical condition than in the fall of 1903. The men of 1904 have always been enthusiastic followers of the pigskin, and, as Seniors, they conducted t his branch of the Athletic Association most competently. Manager Sheldon, whose business it was to cut the coupons, handled his shears wry skillfully and was above such foolhardy transactions as paying $25 for an official whom we could not, or would not. use. On the field itself we first showed ourselves as Freshmen in the formation of a class team, and that same year Thorn was taken on the ' Varsity. It would no tax our imaginative powers to tin- utmost to picture some of that same class team in football togs, but the formation came so close to the opening of college that several of the places had to hi filled solely on a fellow ' s own personal recommendation. We do hope those recommendations won ' t have to be answered for in the next world. The number of men on the football squad in following years varied somewhat, as bad knees, ankles and shoulders, broken noses, and otherwise sore heads, not to mention floating kidneys, occasionally acted as restraining influences. Then, again, the numbers were often kept down by the exertion of those forces, unseen but powerful, the concern of the powers for their absent, tender offspring. In spite of all these obstacles, however, Thorn, Folwell, Lindley, Lowry, C. C. Morris, Perkins and Thomas played on the ' Varsity. 91 Iii Junior year Thomas, as captain of the scrub, brought that team to a high point of efficiency. Senior year showed affairs in our own hands for management and control. Thorn, as captain, had three years of ' Varsit) experience, and took a team into the final game that gave as good an exhibi- tion of football as i often seen. Swarthmore brought over the strongest team she ever had, and scored her only touchdown in the first half, but managed to place two goals over the bar. This was the situa- tion at the end of the first half. Five minutes after the whistle had blown for the second half to begin we had crossed our oppon- ents goal line for our first score, and for the rest of the game the play was decidedly in our favor. Though unable to overcome the lead made by our opponents 7 field goals, we put up a game of which we feel justly proud. Of the .Seniors, Thorn ami Lindley have been awarded the 11, while the scrub emblem may be worn by Bradley, I lilies, Kratz, II. 11. Morris. Schabacker, Stokes and Thomas. For the season of 1904 Arthur 11. Hopkins, ' 05, has been elected captain, and he has announced the selection of H. N. Thorn, ' 04, as head coach, and Dr. Babbitt as trainer for that year. 92 Gymnasium Cricket Team B lEFORE this book is published the cricket season of 1904 will be in full swing — a season which should be especially attractive £or Haverford cricketers. After such a severe winter as we have experienced, the deep frost in the ground has been slow to disappear, and spring has blossomed forth only with great reluctance. This frost has delayed the greens-ward from rounding into proper playing condition, and the late spring has kept us indoors until the second week in April. Last year, 1 think, the weather permitted us to come out by the middle of March. 95 This year, with such a tardy appearance, we play our first game after nlv two weeks of out- door work. The first game is with Belmont. ther matches will lie played with the Merion, German- town, ami Philadelphia Cricket Clubs. Also, contests have been arranged with the New Jersey Athletic Club, Moorestown, Frankford, Haverford Alumni, a team of Australian students resident in Philadelphia, an inter-scholastic team, and the Next XV. Of course we must nut forgel to mention the inter-collegiate games. And in conjunction with this it is very pleasing to note the growth of cricket at Cornell. This year she has joined the Enter-Collegiate Cricket Association, and her team will add much interest to the college contests. This season we will play Cornell at Ithaca, and meet both Harvard and I ' ennsvlvania at Haverford. Let us luck for a moment at the record our class has made in cricket. In Freshman year we easil) defeated the Sophomores and were runners-up for the college championship, which we lost by the close margin of four runs. ( hi the first eleven that year the two Morrises represented us. and the following year Bevan and Bonbright were also taken on. That same spring we defeated [ 902 for the championship, and great was the fall thereof. Folwell, Ilaig and Lowrv have also put up good games for the College in different matches. In Junior year C. C. Morris was elected captain, which position lie also kept a firm hold on for Senior year, and to quote the American Cricketer, Any team which contains C. C. Morris must be con- sidered formidable. With the experience gained by playing on English soil with two former teams, Chris should help the team take a fall out of the Englishmen this summer. But to return. With the prospect of visiting the English Public Schools this approaching summer, one ' s thoughts naturally flit back eight years, when the College cricket team, in [896, invaded fair Britain ' s shores. That eleven, as everyone knows, was the first team so very fortunate as to play on English school grounds. Then, as in 1900, crowds of Alumni and friends gather ed on the American Line Pier, at the foot of Washington Avenue, to bid a bon voyage to Trolley Cope and the touring eleven as they embarked for Liverpool. This June, however, conditions will not be so similar. The team will sail on a Cunarder from New York, instead of departing from a Philadelphia wharf. This plan is pursued because the voyage is 06 thereby shortened, and it is important to reach England before the season is so far under way: and also ti ' i the reason that an important member of the party is not particularly in love with a ten or twelve day tossing on the deep. School cricket abroad practically ends about the firsl week in August, and the preceding schedules were unable to include all the schools which otherwise we would have been able to play. This year, by arriving earlier and by omitting games with the i (xford and Cambridge elevens, we hope to plaj more school games and to limit the matches, at the most, to tour playing days a week: For our teams in [896 and [900 were not really able to stand the -tram when the) exceeded this limit. The program for this trip will be much the same as the pre- vious ones, except, as I have already stated, with the omission of the Oxford Mid Cambridge games. Fortunately, when staying in Lon- don the team will not undergo the same experience as the eleven in [900 did. We will stay at a hotel in the very centre of London, while our hapless predecessors lodged at Richmond for several nights; and Richmond is as tar from the heart of the metropolis as Tacony is from the centre of Philadelphia. In 1900 Haverford played Malvern, Cheltenham, Clifton. Marlborough, Winchester, Charterhouse, Eiailebury, Eton, Harrow and Shrewsbury. We hope to play all these schools this year, and also Repton, which was visited in [896. If we can include Wellington, Tunbridge Wells Grammar School, and a game at York with Bootham and Ackwith combined, we shall complete, with the help of the M. C. C. game, a very tine schedule. Our program is not yet definitely settled upon, but some idea of what it will probably be may be gained from the following outline: On lune 10th come the graduating exercises and Alumni Day. In the afternoon the eleven will plav the annual fixture with the lumni. Then the team will go to New York, either that night or else b) the 7.30 A. M. train the next morning. The I mhria. which is to carry 97 us over the mill pond, sails June nth at noon. She is due in Liverpool on the coming Saturday, and Sunday will most likely be spent in that city. Then we hope to proceed to Chester on Monday, the 20th, or to some other interesting place which is conveniently situated, and in which we may be able to obtain a field for practice. After staying there till Wednesday, we start for our first game, probably with Shrews- bury. Then perhaps Rugby on the 25th, having meanwhile some spare time for the Garden of England. Next facing Cheltenham, which is situated in the pretty town of the same name, famed for its springs. This will be a two-day match. The ensuing game, possibly, may be with Malvern, nestling high among its beautiful hills. Following this we will try the strength of Clifton, the name of which makes all Haverfordians tremble when they think of that 400 for two wickets in [896. The glorious Fourth will probably see the start of a two-day game with Marlborough. The same week we arrive in London, where we play a Marylebone team at Lords. The two succeding days we may have a chance to witness the celebrated Eton-Harrow match. Then comes the hardest week of the trip. A two-day match at Winchester, and contests with Eton ami I I arrow will undoubtedly find us a ven tired eleven, tin |ul [9th we will perhaps play Hailebury, and after that a two-day match with Charterhouse. The next week. beginning July 24th, we hope to visit Repton for two days. Then, perhaps, we will travel to York for a game with the Friends ' School as a final match. Somewhere through this half-imaginary program we hope to interpose contests with Wellington and Tunbridge Wells. After glancing over such an attractive tour, no one will hesitate to assert (hat a Haverford student enjoying these opportunities is most deeply indebted to his Alma Mater, and that such a debt can only be paid off after years of unremitting effort. If the team will only keep this thought in mind. I am sure they will play a game quite worthy of the right little, tight little college which they have the great honor to represent. 98 y? •- HMHBiHM Havei ford — Pennsylvania Game Gymnasium Team w HILE the class of 1904 has not made for itself an immortal name in the field of gymnastics, yet its reputation is not entirely unenviable, for it has often taken men from our elass to secure a victor) or to prevent a defeat. Since we have had fellows on the gym team the only contest lost has been to New York University, which, at the time, was exceptionally strong. In Freshman year we performed evolutions with dumb-bells, Indian clubs and bar lulls in imitation I compulsory ) of Dr. Babbitt. Then for a few minutes we had the -real privilege of trying to do stunts on the heav) apparatus — the parallels, the rings or the horizontal bar. Such antics as we performed can readily lie seen now almost an) afternoon during the winter months, though not in the same old gymnasium, we arc happ) to say. In place of the crowded room under the Chemical Laboratories, we now work on a more spacious and fully equipped floor. The Alumni have erected a handsome building on the south side of the Quadrangle, in which the most fastidious gymnast may be proud to do his stunts and to show his form. 101 Gymnasium Floor In those days when members of the gym loam were so far above us in ability as to have a sanctified halo of magic about them, C. C. H. H. Morris, with their wonderful fronl air springs, and Manny Kim- ber, with his fancy cul on the parallels, were ideals which seemed Ear above the possible attainments of the more cumbersome. Bu1 time changes all things, and gymnastic ability is no exception. While some of our Freshmen stars have no more been heard from, others have arisen to fill their places. Chris Morris and Jack Thomas, for instance, have shown what conscientious training can do, but, pray, let this be no criterion. lack has done g I work on the horse, while Chris has helped to defeat Lehigh by winning points on the rings, in club swinging, Burgess and Bonbright were regarded as sure point winners, and seldom did the} fail in this mission. As a Freshman. Haig was first introduced to a gymnasium, bul he immediately took -ucli a firm hold of the work thai he was made captain of that team in our last year, and. as such, he is largeh responsible for its showing in the various exhibitions and contests. In Senior year the schedule, as arranged by Manager T. J. Megear, was very attractive, especially the quadrangular exhibition, in which Princeton, Pennsylvania and New York University joined with us to open the seas. m at I laverford. In February the third interscholastic meet brought schoolboys from all the leading schools in the Easl flocking to compete in the different events. Nor were these the only competitions of the evening, as th rush for seats took on something of that same nature, and there were visible signs of grief on the faces i if the lli  r managers. In the content with Lehigh there was a closeness most exciting, and the result was by no means evident until the last event, when Haig took first in the tumbling. Four firsts, two seconds and three thirds gave us jc ) in Lehigh ' s 25. t the intercollegiates, in New York, we entered six men. of whom three were of the Senior class, and with this meet ended the season and the career of 1904011 the gym team of I laverford. The gym emblems, awarded to winners of first or second places, have been presented to Bonbright, Burgess and Haig, of 1904, while one of the two special H ' s, recently authorized by the College Association for best work on the team, was also awarded to I faisr. 103 Track Team N [NETEEN FOUR has ever been a modest class, and far be it from us to claim any glory that is not rightfully ours. But we take a just pride in the impetus this branch of athletics has rec eived during our four years here, and it is to our members that this is largely due. Simultaneously with the arrival of the class of nineteen hundred and four at Haverford began a notable increase, both in the interest shown and the quality of the work done. Captain Yearsh V call for track men was quickly responded to, and the candidates, no doubt lured on by the manager ' s annual bluff about a more attractive schedule, more trips away, etc., etc., turned out in larger numbers than ever before, and began to really work and do some little training — this last a thing almost unheard of in previous years. 105 Haverford vs. Rutgers Each afternoon, at four o ' clock sharp, they appeared on Walton Field, swathed in gaudy bath robes, and presenting to us uneducated Freshmen a most impressive appearance ; though to the lay mind the color scheme might have savored of the remnant counter on a bargain day. But the final results were most satisfactory, even to our critical class, and we straightway deter- mined that the next year should be a record breaker. Nor were we disappointed. At the Princeton Handicap Games, Haverford secured third place from a large collegiate entry. This seemed to put the winning spirit into the team, and several weeks later we celebrated a well-earned victory over Lehigh University. How the records fell that year! No less than four went by the board, and so busy were we in getting out suitable cups to celebrate their downfall that the failure of the relax ' team to capture first place at the Pennsylvania games was overlooked. Junior ear II. II. .Morris was elected captain, and with a naughty four man at the head, oi course things went successfully. One of the first things Had did was to break the College record for the mile, ami his team-mates, not wishing to be left too far behind, went and did likewise for two others. This year we lost the Lehigh meet — by two points only — the _|4 yards proving our Waterloo. Otherwise the season was a good one. and showed an earnest conscientious work on the part of all the men. that promises well for the future. Thus ended another year, the team expressing their appreciation of Morris ' services by re-electing him captain. And now as this book goes to press the track work has again started, for the last time under nine- teen four ' s leadership. Dr. Babbitt ' s familiar figure and shining bald head may be seen every afternoon on the track, giving the men valuable suggestions, and rounding out a team that should prove a credit to the College. For the first time in four years we take part in a dual meet with Rutgers, in addition to the regular schedule: and all signs point to a successful season. Be as that may, we trust that future years will see the work carried on in the spirit of the four preceding oik-: and that the following classes give to this branch of athletics the earnest support that hi- ever been characteristic of 1904, to which four banners, consecutively won. bear silent witness. 107 Musical Clubs D ™ (JRING nineteen four ' s stay in College the Musical Association has been guilty of two entertain- ments of a kind seldom before attempted. In our Sophomore year an operetta was given entitled The ( .real T. T. T. Robbery, written by C. Linn Seiler, and the following year another more elaborate, Ye Haverford Bandit, by the same author. Early in the winter of [903 parts in this latter opera were assigned and practice commenced. How those in the cast strutted about ami threw out their chests at the idea of at last becoming real live actors! It was decided that a drum was necessary to the orchestra to make it complete, and competitive trials were held to see who in the College was most proficient in this gentle art. Great was our pride when an ' 04 man, Thorn, won this honor; hut this pride was soon changed to sorrow in the hearts of those whose abode was near him, for at all hours of the day and night would that infernal thumping be dinned in their ears, varied occasionally by the clashing of cymbals as the would-be virtuoso strove to keep time. Nor less earnestly did the others strive, and by the middle of .May all was ready for the first performance at Wayne. 109 Ye Haverford Bandit This drew a large and enthusiastic audience ' , which called again and again for encores, and stamped the opera at the beginning as a succi ss. And how could it be otherwise? For was not Bill Brad, that charmer of the fair sex. a con- spicuous feature of the landscape as he swaggered about the stage in the costume of a bandit lieutenant, wearing the fiercesl mustachios imaginable? There, too, was our gentle-voiced Jimmy, who, with his dinkey little straw hat ami cane was quite irresistible. Kimber, too. stood high in the councils of the bandits. Uso those in the chorus must not lie forgotten, for Megear, Haig and Withers helped to swell the melo- dies, while Folwell, Lester ami Thorn did their best this side the footlights. After Wayne performances were also given in Germantown, Wilmington and at the Merion Cricket Club, where the Haverfprd Girl was in in full force t enjoy the dances which followed. In our Senior year there was no such elaborate attempt made, and so the Mandolin, ( ' dee, and Banjo Clubs shone forth with nothing to eclipse their glory. Head l ' oss West drilled and cussed the fellows into shape, so that just before the Christmas vacation a concert was given in Roberts Hall. A fairly large audience attended, and the musicians, with spotless shirts and beaming faces, played and sang and tried to look as though all their lives they had been accustomed t i performing before large and critical audiences. Hut this audience was not critical, and the music was good; so the powers decided to give another concert, this time to be followed by a dance, at the .Merion Club. This was to take place in April: so meanwhile, to keep their voices in condition, the Glee Club con- tinued to practice and did good service at Y. M. C. A. meetings, church fairs, and on one occasion it consorted with the Orpheus Club in singing at a Merion Club smoker. And so well did both they, ami their brothers with the mandolin, conduct themselves that this was voted even a greater success than the one earlier in the year. Taken as a whole, this vear ' s musical season has been most successful in every way, and under the able management of 1 lilies the financial side was so well cared for that they did not know what to do with the money. This difficult}- was overcome by a plan of awarding pins to those who had done the best work. The [904 men thus rewarded were I lilies, Kratz. Sheldon and West. The full membership of the class on the various chilis was: West, leader: Bradley, Charles. Haig, Helbert, Hilles, Kimber, Kratz, Megear, Sheldon. Stokes and Withers. 111 Haverfordian Board Gf e avepfopdiar? Board of Editors D. LAWRENCE. BURGESS, Editor-in-Chief ROBERT P. LOWRY A. CLYNDON PRIESTMAN ARTHUR T. LOWRY W. PARKER BONBRIQHT RAPHAEL J. SHORTLIDGL FRANCIS R. TAYLOR SIGMUND G. SPAETH BERNARD LESTER, Business Manager JESSE D. PHILIPS and WALTER CARSON, Asst. Managers NT IXKTKKX F UR lias always been proud of her members, and never has this pride been more grati- fied than when Lester, that great financial manager, at last succeeded in placing the HavErFordian H a paying basis. Those who have been so unfortunate as to have read this sheet can well realize the magnificence of this achievement. And at his work in ad hunting all the world wondered. In the less literary line, Deacon Burgess headed the list of editors; and right earnestly did he pursue Ins work of clipping with the editorial shears, and pasting with the editorial paste. This constituted his year ' s work, with the exception of one occasion, when he wrote an impassioned editorial, protesting most earnestly against the use of tobacco in the lower classes. Bonbright and Lowry also added materially to the paper ' s reputation by allowing their names t . appear on the title page. Their college work was not, however, very pressing, and they occasionally found time to dash oft a soul-inspiring poem, or the touching story of a love-lorn Clarissa. Their bravery in this line is commendable, for their articles were always signed. This year marks a great improvement in matters relating to the Board ' s comfort, for have they nut a real sanctum. luxuriously furnished with a table, a couch, three pictures and a rug, not to mention Benny Lester ' s typewriter! Here in the old office of President Sharpless horrid orgies were carried on late into the night, and timid Freshmen would quail as they passed the door, from behind which sounded the wild riot of their bacchanalian revelries. Nevertheless, in spite of all their excesses the board, with the aid of Brinton ' s enlightening treatises on Mother Goose, managed at times to turn out a fairly creditable paper, and they look with pride on the fact that this year their subscription list is larger than that of all other like publications of Haverford G illege combined. 113 Debating Team Debates S [NCE the institution of the annual debate between the Philomathean Society, of the University of Pennsylvania, ami the Loganian Society, of Haverford College, the home team has always been victorious. It was with the sole intention, then, of beating the University of Pennsylvania for the first time upon her home ground that four Haverfordians betook themselves to Price Hall, of the I , of P. Paw Buildings, on the evening of the eighth of April, bearing in their hands books and papers containing well wrought argument and evidence relating to the negative side of the question: Resolved: That the United States should take the lead in forming a coalition of world powers to demand that Japan and Russia settle their differences in the Far East at The Hague tribunal. The Haverford orators were as follows : Bernard Lester, ' 04, captain. Walter Carson, ' 06. George K. Helbert, ' 04. C. J. Teller, ' 05, alternate. The judges were first captivated by the persuasive manner of George. who, with uplifted hand and face, laid bare the mysteries of the question. Lester followed, bearing evidence to the impressive ges- tures instilled by four years under Dr. Hancock. Finally, Carson rounded out the argument for the nega- tive side, and was successful in winning applause for both pose and fluency. After a few moments ' cogitation, the rebuttals were commenced. Helbert again resorted to mild sarcasm. Carson came next and succeeded in using a little more self control than on previous occasions, and Lester ended the debate for the negative. The events of the evening were few. In the first place the judges decided unanimously in Haver- ford ' s favor; in the second place — it rained. Haverfordians were loyal in their support, and with their enthusiastic applause aided the speakers. The most encouraging feature of the evening, from the debaters ' point of view, was, however, the gleaming face of the Doctor, who beamed down upon his proteges with a serene confidence. This helped to make the score four to two, instead of three all. 113 CLASS EMBLEMS Appropriate designs submitted upon request and estimates furnished by I. E.

XI STEIHWHY S LATEST PRODUCTION THE VERTEBRHND Trade-Marked While in appearance an upright piano, it is in reality just what its name implies — a turned grand piano. At last the long-sought result has been achieved of embodying all the superior attributes of a grand piano in a compact vertical form, suitable to the limited dimensions of modern drawing rooms and boudoirs. All the musicians and experts who have tested the Vertegrand, have unanimously pronounced it the greatest achievement of modern progress that has ever come to their notice. A simple inspection will absolutely prove the validity of this claim. Owing to the simplicity of its construction and design we are enabled to offer the Vertegrand to the public at the lowest price at which a new Steinway piano could be purchased in the last thirty-five years, namely, $500 in an ebonized case $550 in a mahogany case Time payments accepted Sterling Pianos, £300 upwards, are thoroughly reliable and very popular— worthy of more general recognition and an increased price.
