WINDLE iPrtaa of Eifs Jiotftt (C. BtiiBtan (do. pi)ilalirl)il)ia. fa. Xot nianv davs have passed since the first warm breeze blew from the south. It came on a quiet afternoon when snowdrifts still lingered under the bare trees. To the lethargic world it was the awakening kiss of spring which melted dullness with the snows. To us, however, it brought with its tidings of renewed joy a sad warning. Since then a voiceless regret has struggled within us for expression, and the receding days have carried our sighs. Four years ! No happy dream was ever more fleeting — Merciless Time knows only its own reckoning. Just a while longer and we must leave her, the mother who ■has been our inspiration during these four years of unforgetable memories. We have attained our manhood now, and must follow our older brothers in that long pilgrimage whose goal is the achievement of the high ideals set before us by our Alma Mater. We would retard the cruel moment of separation, not for fear of the dangers of the journey, but because we do not feel strong enough to break the bonds which attach us to her. . vague dread that this farewell might be the last holds us back. Many things we have neglected, and now we vainly attempt to absorb them that when, in the future, sorrows shall darken our horizon, we may revive the scenes of our youth and recover lost courage. Venerable Founders, message bearer of the past, relic of that small group of plainly clad men who breathed their spirit into our college, and Barclay, emblematic of present-day Haverford, facing the east and the west as if to receive the suns first ravs and reflect the last in accordance with the conservative progress which is the idea! of our college. — we cannot take leave without another lingering look at these buildings so typical of Haverford. Dut already the call sounds, the new life beckons. We must retrace our footsteps under the drooping streamers of the willow by Conklin Gate, and start on the journey with deep regret, but with strengthened hearts and hopes for the future. i ,- ' : -t sr - - m ■ - The Class in Senior Year Cla00 €)fficer0 MICHAEL HENRY MARCH - - - President HAROLD EVANS ....

Win- ner Football IT. •BAZUNK 2S The Faculty Here s to Nineteen Seven ! A CLASS FEED Say, come here! I paused. Come here, I say ! It was a yell of George Craig — so I went, naturally. Anybody would — ci ' eii Mike. Where are you going? he demanded. Why, I began apologetically, why, I — ' ell, come in here! A class feed. I went, naturally. Anybody would — cz ' cii Joe. The feed was in Buck and Satan ' s room, and the room was filled up. As yet there was fairly decent order, and when one became accustomed to smoke, one could make out the titantic figure of Bazunk Wood occupying four-fifths of a couch ; on the other one-fifth tliere was room enough for Pills, Paddy and Bill Ross, who were comfortably stretched there, nor heeded the demand of the Bazunk to quit shoving. On the most comfortable Morris chair Mike was reclining, and the other members of Nineteen-Seven were sprawled in characteristic attitudes everywhere. It was remarkable how many tried to rest against the sinuous curves of Art ' s round bulk, in spite of the dusty-looking sweater he was wearing. Art is good and plump, and nice to lean against. He moved me to poetry once, during a philosophy lecture : Men are made of mind and matter, (Phil. I ' says so) : Art Brown ' s fat and getting fatter — Well, I don ' t know. But as I think aliout his case And gaze into his chuliby face — As plump as batter, — It seems to me there is no doubt : He ' s nearly two yards ' round about. . nd mostly matter ! 2 The Class in Freshman Year Goofl. cosy matter it is, too, and comfortable to lean ai;ainst : so tliat when I saw he was already surrounded, somewliat regretfully I crossed over to Cornell and Joe — who, next to Art, usually have the most covering to their bones. After insisting that Georgie Comfort put at least half his legs up the chinnicy. we founil that wo could all get fairly comfortable: though, of course, Bazunk had to move his feet once in a while to give Paddy a chance to wink. FRESHMAN RECOLLECTIONS From the very day, Mike was saying, and paused till Satan could throw him liill ' s matches, that wc — ' he struck a match — first came to Havcrford — he watched the match burn, thoughtfully. I came too late for that, began Jones; and if — I wasn ' t through yet, complained Mike, reproachfully. Ernie hluslicd. and was (|uiet. Mike ap|)lipd the flame to his pipe, and slowly lighted it. From the very day that wc first came to Havcrford, he repeated, and then paused to emit a long inhalation. We waited. Everybody heard of us. he finished, and turne l to explain to our welcome half-hreeds how the sun of September twenty-third, 1903. glistened in blood-red ii)o7 ' s. painled in defiance on every possible and impossible surface from Ilaverford Station to llaverlord College. Fmniett and Ed did it, he concluded. Yes, and the rest of you cleaned it off, growle l (leorge Craig. That ' s the first thing I saw, agreed Dodgie. I came up from the station with a suit-case, a bag of golf-chibs, a guitar, an encyclopedia and four dictionaries, and I saw Wood and liinLsall .scrubbing, while Doc Sands was trying to escape by claiming that he was .going to graduate in three years and didn ' t have time to waste ! It wasn ' t the scrubbing I minded, said Wdodie ruefully. 29 No ; what he minded was being locked up in company with Joe Birdsall — two hardened villians in the Ardmore jail! Some Sophomores had set them painting green pigs around the red 1907 ' s, and, naturally, they were locked up for such sacrilege. Since then, however, they have managed to keep out of the law ' s tenacious grasp, though we are still nervous when they go out. But don ' t think that only Bazunk and Joe were green. We all of us more or less harmonized with them, — witness the time that Bill Ross mistook Caleb for the Professor of French, of whom he had only heard ! Witness the hair-breadth escape of Polonius who tried his ability at making eyes at Geraldine ! Witness the temerity of Claassen, who once placed his thumb in close proximity to his nose, and slightly extended his digits before the august personage of the president of the Sophomore class. However, our edges were rounded ofif somewhat, and the first coat of green was washed away, when the soap-slide was given for our benefit. The long, slippery, slushy, greasy, wet hall, the poles and ropes and pillows, the dashes of cold water and the howling spectators did much to remind us that we were Freshmen — and to bark our shins. For a week it took the average fellow two minutes to sit down, and if you walked up behind a Freshman and put your hand on his shoulder, the chances are ten to nothing he would jump and yell, Ouch! Let go! That shoulder ' s sore. After the soap-slide we tried such stunts as floating 1907 banners over the campus ; but a few meetings of brotherly love with those who foolishly thought they could bring us up taught us that the better part of valor is discretion. Bazunk Wood and Joe learned this after their first night in jail. I fancy. No wonder that Bazunk so ruefully said : It wasn ' t the scrubbing I minded. I didn ' t get a wink of sleep that night. ' 1906 didn ' t seem to think that sleep was good for us. ike our own infernal rough-house, confessed Butler. Our Jail Birds. No more did the rest of us, retorted Aleck ; But being horsed never made me lose sleep 30 M I I I I I t I ' I I— t- I--+T-I- Do you reiiieiiiber the time we transformed Claassen ' s bed into a portable bath-tub? He was afraid of being dumped, so he barricaded his door and went to bed. His bed was one of the great majority that sag down in the middle, and Aleck went up in the garret, bored a hole, and poured three buckets of water down, till it filled the bed up. I ' ll bet Jansen would rather have been dumped ! ' Speaking of dumping, Jimmy put in, do you remember what Satan used to do? Well, he d set his alarm clock for two A. M. When it ivent off, he ' d snatch it, smother it under his pillow, crawl stealthily out of bed, creep noiselessly down the hall, and dump somebody. All of us dumped some beds once in a while, but none of us was such an enthusiastic convert as Satan. And Satan modestly blushed. He has a habit of doing that, you know — especially wlien he is asked to play chop-sticks. So to cover his confusion he stam- mered out something about Evan ' s mania for the More Sacks. Those good old days of Freshman rough-house should not be lightly passed over — days when Dr. Harry, the big, bearded teacher of constitutional history, was a child in our grasp ; when the doctor said he would answer any questions, and Squiddy promptly and gently requested him to give a short account of the twelfth century; when Jimmy indus- triously tried to draw the learned one into an explanation of some of his notes, particularly the sentence reading In 1521 Luther convened the worms to deliberate upon the afTairs of Germany ; when Fritz, in obedience to a com- mand to leave the room, went through the window, and Dr. Harry informed us that the rest of the class would go out the same ivay if we were not careful ; when Ed upset the reading desk ; when Bill Ross howled so pitifully because Emmett had put a mouse down his back ; days that ended in wilder nights — such as the night when, fresh from the bath-tub, with the whole class at his heels, someone went sprinting over the campus for Merion College, gleaming white in the nioonlighl, like a marble form endowed with life — as Dodge so poetically puts it. H you uill but close your eyes, in fancy you will see a white- 33 A Portable Bath. The Class in Sophomore Year garbed parade, beginning on the first tloor of Barclay, gathering nnniljers as it goes through the building, astonishing the denizens of Founders with its solemn step timed to the beating of tinpans: Venie has a banjo. Satan two chafing dishes, and Bill does a combination Hoochy-coochy Highland-fling all across the campus. Merion is reached, the line is lengthened still more, the weird noise increases, frenzied maniacs howl and yell, until the sudden appearance of sleepy Sophomores with steins and buckets of water causes us to break pell-mell for the door, dodge the water that comes from the windows, and scatter! It must have been such drill and practice as this that made our cake-walk such an impressive affair, when Ed and Buck took the cake (or as much of it as they could get) and when . atan and ' enus earned their spurs in the shape of such descriptive nicknames. But pardon! I have interrupted Satan. If you will kindly turn back to where I began to digress, you will see that Satan was confused under the attention which Jimmy ' s remark hail drawn to him. Seeing that nobody bites on his Evans-Moresacks bait, he begins confusedI to talk about our Sophomore- Fresh- man contests. . nd here he succeeds in diverting attention from himself, for he has no single hook, but a huge net that sweeps up the whole class : We won both cane-rushes, says Joe, in that sly whisper he sometimes uses. And both football games! yells Biuck, and we stop for a minute to recount Paul ' s touchdown, and how Sam led us in our very first yell : Come seven, come eleven. Haverford College. Nineteen-Seven ! And our cricket proclivities! slvmts Francis, flic got the word from President Sharpless ' s Mon- day morning talks, or from Dodgie.) . nd our music. N ' enie and .Mex sing out in chorus, while Bazmik W ' oodie blushed. (He ought to. C,et him to sing Oh. mother, how pretty the moon looks to-night — and go over to another building imtil he gets through, f )r, if you prefer, sit by him in Y. M. C. . .. and you will apjircciate Friends ' meeting more than ever.) And our fussing! says George. — getting aliead of thirty-two of us who wore trying to call up enough nerve to say the same thing. Our track work! calls Ed. The prizes we won ! says Sfjuiddy the .Shark, modestly. 3 3S And our work in — Dodge begins ; I fancy he is going to say debates ; but he catches himself in time, and finishes up : Y. M. C. A. ! SOPHOMORE RECOLLECTIONS All this shouting left us breathless for a spell. Those of us who smoke began to calm our excitement with pipes or cigarettes — Satan and Bill had cigars ; those of us who don ' t, looked as if they wished they did — all except Lee. Even when we smoke he gets stomachache. I always wondered who had the sickness I ought to have. What is the philosophical term for stomachache? Even Evans will smoke a cigarette for a dollar ; but Lee — never ! When we had caught our breath, Mike knocked the ashes from his pipe, and relighted it. W e were, he began, striking the match, not — He paused. The match burned slowly; the end curled and blackened, and dropped. Not — he struck another — bad as — the flame of the match flickered up and down in the well-caked bowl — not bad as Sophomores, either, he finished, blowing the smoke at Lee. Come into the union ! This ain ' t no Sunday school picnic ! You may think it is a joke, but — These and other cries greeted his speech. Alex, Satan, Mike and Ske Barr were the champion horsers of our class. That is to say, they could sink their voices to the deepest pitch, bring a cricket bat down with a thud within an ace of a Freshman ' s bare toes, and yell out, Wipe that smile off ! better than — Joe Birdsall could. Can ' t you ' remember that? Why, it ' s all so clear ' tis almost folly to call it memory. We are seated huddled together in room 27. The lights are enclosed in megaphones. Barr. Warner and Satan sit in front. Mike wears a class cap and carries a class cane. The rest of us — the hissing chorus — are massed in the gloom. Suddenly a faint, scared tap is heard, like the Dean ' s pencil tapping on his desk to call a class to order. Who ' s there? asks Satan. Green. Hiss — s — s — sss — ss — ss — s — s — ssss ! 36 Say sir ! veil Alex and Ske. Green, sir. Well, come in ! What are you standing out there for? Here — get out of here — and come in slowly ! And then it begins. When Alex and Satan and Ske get done worrying the frightened boy, Mike steps up and delivers one of his serious, terrifying, awful, threatening, hot-from-the-shoulder speeches, under which the Freshman wilts down, — as Mr. Chase ' s collars all must wilt under an August sun ; as pie wilts under Joe ' s glance ; as tobacco wilts when Bill Ross passes by ; as Bryn Mawr ice cream wilts before the troops of B. S. ' s led by their standard-bearer, Pcepee ; as Dodgie wilted when he saw that some- body saw him talking to somebody on somebody ' s porch ; as Emmett wilted when Dr. Brown used to say: Mistah Tawtnawll, yew dew the farst prawblem ; as Harry and Hancky and the Dean wilted before us; as Dr. Jones wilts before Ed Tatnall ( for e ' en though vanquished, he can argue still ) ; as the Haver- fordian wilts before Paddy ' s Porto Rican tragedies — or farces ( ?) ; as the D. D. Dean wilts occasionally; as occasionally people wilt before Ikie : as Alex ' s home- made whiz-wagon wilts before he has it cranked ; as temptation wilts before Squiddy ; as Sam and Buck and Satan wilt before temptation ; as Ernie Jones wilted when the K. T. B. ' s initiated him ; as several football teams wilted when Ernie tucked the ball under his arm and crashed through tackles ; as the world shall wilt when the sons of inctccn-Scven are turned loose at it ! Even so the Freshmen all wilted under this isn ' t any Sunday school picnic, you low-down Rhinie ! Never shall I forget the puzzled expression of a Freshman once. He had been commanded to put each shoe on the wrong foot. Please, sir, he begged, I hurt my left foot in football practice yesterday. Can ' t I put that shoe on its own foot? Yes, thundered someone in the hissing chorus, but be sure you put the other one on the wrong foot ! 39 Wilting. The Class in Junior Year Puzzled, fresh ? Well, a little, I fancy ! But, bless my editorial heart, what a long digression I have been betrayed into ! It will, perhaps, convince you of the truth of Mike ' s remark, w-e were not bad as Sophomores, either. We sat there, thinking about our Sophomoreal grandure for a time, and then suddenly Art Brown grunted out : Say, you fellows, get up. Take your elbows out of my sweater. It was an unfortunate word. Art should take the word sweater out of his vocabulary. Everybodv began to laugh, and . rt looked uncomfortable, while, for the benefit of Hoover, who has a sweater very much like .-Xrt ' s, P.utler, of West Chester, if you please, told the story: You wouldn ' t think to look at . rt ' s open countenance and his frank expression how crafty the lad can be. Once he fancied that William wasn ' t treating him right in the matter of seconds — here Joe woke up and looked interested — and. continued lUuler, he thought it might be well to grease William a bit. He didn ' t have anything he didn ' t want exce])! an old sweater, so he decided to give that to W ' illiam. P.iU, ever altruistic, he thought that maybe Jimmx ' Magill, Peepee P rown, ' enie and .Satan wanted to give William a ti|). too. and they. p ior youths, had no old sweaters! In a hurst of generosity. . rt said he would permit them to pay fifty cents apiece towards the sweater, and he would tell William that it was from the buncli. .Xnd they did it! (ireen? Well, ' most as bad as Joe P.irdsall. who Ixnight a college bed from a Junior, for $8.00. — and I.aid for it! Hoover opened his cavernous mouth to honor the story with one of his copyrighted laughs. Then, suddenly, When did . rt do this? be aske l, glancing at his own sweater, apyirehensively. Sophomore year — just before our entertainment. volunteered someone. Our entertainment! — the forerunner of our Junior Play, giving us an appreciation of such talent as was latent in Donald ( )vercut, . gnes Pialdwin, Hans Rathskeller, Chasepenny Skinner, Reggie von der V nc and Macaroni de la Spaghetti — talent to be developed later. But come. I must .stop musing, and listen to P.ill Ross. .Say, boys, when we were Sophomores, we didn ' t stop with horsing the Fresh, did we? I low almut the profs ! • X ' isions of Peace or War lloateil across our recollections, when I ' )r. Hancock ])roleste l against shot- 41 $. ' .30. bonibardnient. But even Ed Tatnall ' s carefully prepared debate for war, which, takxn from Paddy ' s notes, reads something like this: War is necessary to keep the population from growing too large. The better kills the worse. We eat beef, but if beef were better men than we are, they would eat us ! — even this elaborate and convincing argument could not uphold war; and, except for a little skirmish now and then throughout our course with Doctors Harry, Hancock, Barrett, Baker, Garrett, Professor Thomas and Mr. Palmer, we were peaceful. Moreover, excepting Lee, who will keep asking philosophical questions, we all unite in refusing to horse President Sharpless ; for which consideration on our part I make no doubt he is duly grateful. JUNIOR RECALL Naturally enough, the lively recollection of the strenuous cour.se in English HI recalled our some- what similar experience under Dr. Barrett, whose honor it was to meet our class as Juniors twice a week, to discuss with us the intricate problems of Economics. There are nine different kinds of money, quoted Buck, reflectively. And I haven ' t one, ruminated Cornell. I have often wondered what our Dean did with the extra pennies he collected that day. You see, he passed the nine different kinds of money around the class that we might inspect it, knowing well that it was a strange and unusual experience with us. But somehow or other, the money, en f ' assant, increased in bulk, so that when it was returned to the Dean, though he still had only one gold-certificate, only one bank-note and only one greenback — as originally, he received nine pennies, and some spendthrift had contributed a nickle ! But our generosity overwhelmed the Dean, and he found no words to express his thanks. Mr. Nicholson, he said, I fear you are not interested. (Yenie may not have been interested; but interesting he certainly was, as he bent industriously over his book, and then held it aloft with a picture of Dr. Barrett umpiring a game of baseball, of Dr. Hancock reading themes to Bill, or of President Sharpless dancing the minuet.) Mr. Nicholson, I fear you are not interested. You may recite: What is meant by legal tender? Venie was thoughtful a bit, and then seriously replied: It is because the entrepreneur keeps them in check. As long as we kept our faces straight. Dr. Barrett tried his best to see the significance of Venie ' s reply; but when Satan could no longer restrain a laugh, the Dean awoke to the fact that Venie was kidding him. We were dismissed. 42 Such touching memories as this were passed to and fro among us, and a heated discussion arose as to what has been the funniest event that has befallen our class. Bill Ross appreciated Economics, but his sense of humor is warped, for he even thinks that self-government in the dining-hall is funny. English III, Constitutional History, Xineteen-Eight, the faculty table, and scrambled eggs all had ardent supporters for the distinction of being the funniest thing at Haverford. But none of these suggestions really hits the funniest event. For subtle humor, an occurrence in Meeting eclipses them all. Yes, in our Meeting Hou.se, which has no lofty entrance, no stained-glass win- dows, no expensive pipe-organ, no lofty steeple, no solemn bell, no altar, no thick carpet, no comfortable pews, no pulpit, no hymn books, no Bibles, no order of service — and no collection plates, — in our simple, honest, sincere, staunch Meeting House, the funniest event has happened. The ministers were in their places; President Sharpless ' s eyes were fastened — as ever — upon the eyes of each one of us ; Bill Ross was asleep ; Emmett was ready to wake him if he snored too loudly ; Barr was trying to place a bet with Joe Birdsall that Dr. Jones would have first innings — I mean, would address us before Uncle Allen, when suddenly a stranger stood up. In a. collar-less coat and a cravat-less collar, he began an endless talk. On and on he kept talking, till, carried away by his own eloquence, his voice became a chant, and he sang a new .song to Haverford. Watches came out— but he kept on talking ; Bill Ross woke up— but he kept on talking ; our President became restless — but he kept on talking. And then he began to quote : ' Come unto me all ye that Inlxir ami arc heavy laden — ' President Sharpless interrupted: , fter a brief period of reverent silence we shall adjourn the meeting. But alas! The silence. I fear, was not reverent. I ' or the stranger finished his quotation: ' And I will give you rest, ' he said ! The recalling of all this gayety and i)f cun- battles with such giants as the members of the Faculty so enkindled Razunk ' s spirit that he began to sing. Straightway an opposing party jumped to molest him, led by .Sam. Ernie Jones and Joe Birdsall. knowing well the prowess of the l ' azunk, kept well in the back- ground, but ten or twelve ambitious youths assailed him with sofa-pillows, pretzels and proto-cans. How- ever, the only effect was to rough-house the room of Satan and Buck, who whispered together. The outcome of the whi.spering was that Buck stepped forward with that half-dogged, half-sly look in his eyes that is so easy to remember and .so hard to describe, and .said : Say, fellows, let ' s go up to Yenie ' s room and sing around his piano. 45 His ruse misjht not have been successful if it were not that Bazuni heard tlie word sing, and rushed for the jjiano, determined to let his childish treble ring out with the rest. There being no one else to rough-house, we followed. When ' enie touched the keyboard, naturally we clamored for Junior Play songs, and soon the Dramatis Personae were singing their parts again. When the Athletic March was played, with one accord we yelled out, Now. Woodie, turn, turn! remembering the difficulty we formerly had to get him drilled. Yes. ' enie ' s music and the songs took us right back to our Junior days, when Haines and Dodge and all their committee made us practice and re-practice ; made us meet after Meeting, and after lunch, and after dinner, and after class, and after evervthing! We drifted right back to the night of May l8, Kjof). when, in the intricate plot of Woman and .Super- Woman, Squiddy, as Harold Newcomb, found an old swetlieart of his in Emniett, as Muriel Xelson ; when ' enie, as Rastus Washington, and Paul, as Eliza Johnson, sang their tender love lyric, It ' s Time We ' re Married: when George and Mike and Ira and Alex and Buck took the role of college students — a role so difficult for them to grasp; when Satan had the easier part of a Freshman, and was required merely to be natural; when the Porto Rican Buttons had to wear a red jacket; when Francis and Butler and Bill Ross and Ske Barr, improved by the garb of the more foolish sex, made our hearts beat quickly ; when the cat- chorus howled ; when the cricket-chorus chirped ; when Jimmy spoke his lengthy lines, We won of course, and when delicate, tender, gentle, mild Sam Ciummere, with scarcely any gct-np, could portray so exactly the omnipresent chaperon ! And we remembered the walks after the play about the moon-lit campus, bedecked with lanterns and. maidens and strawberries. ' Tis then we were careful to see that she was served first ! ' Tis then we walked with her on those paths that are all too wide I ' Tis then, looking for our chaperons, who had unfortunately become separated from us in the crowd, we all went to a certain cosy-corner near the observatory, — only to find it already occupied by Mike and — well, probably Francis Godley still dressed as Betty Miller. Doubtless. So when we saw our chaperons were not there, industriously we looked elsewhere, passing Ernie Jones with some bright-eyed damsel on a like errand. Certainly the moon- beams were beautiful when she was under them ! After the Junior Play the following facts were recorded: (i) M. H. March goes to Pottstown twice a week instead of once a month. [pottstown A Seini- ' L ' eekly Trip. 46 (2) Cornell March swore off smoking. (3) Craig multiplied by two his already lavish fussing. (4) Dodge took to reading Swinburne, Keats, Shelley and I ' oe. and to writing name Helen has occurred in every theme since. Tell us about it. Dodgie. (5) N ' enie Nicholson, instead of playing Junior Play songs, sits down at his piano every Sunday and wails out Love ' s Old Sweet Song and Forgotten. (6) Ernie Jones has become absent-minded. (7) Paddy has introduced a heroine into his stories, which before dealt only with men and Porto Ricans. (S) Barr decided to leave college at the end of his Jiniior year. We are certainly developing. As an example. Wood during his Freshman year was compelled once to go to town for a hair-cut. From a trolley car he saw an electric sign, and when he returned to Haverford he a.sked curiously. Where is the Family Circle Theatre? Compare such a youth with that Kazunk who recently came to the table all dressed for fussing ; who admitted that he was going fussing, but who surely gave too nnich away when he pu.shed back his chair and said, vigorously rubbing his lips with his napkin. I don ' t see what they give us this blame fish for anyway! I rics ; moreover, the Loic s Old, Siv ' cci 6vii ' j SENIOR REFLECTIONS The songs (jf our Junior l ' la had sent us all a-ch-canung, ( n ' orge Craig, a senliniental light in his eves, stood with his arms across tlie piano: Joe I ' lirdsall gazed in rapUiri ' at the eiuis de Milo on the mantle; Mike pulled from his |)ocket his ninth Hxj-lrip ticket and gazed with tears in his eyes at the words, Philadelphia to I ' ottstown, and the volume of smoke increased threc-fol l. For the sake of Lee, someone opened a window, and a breeze caught a scrap of pajicr from X ' enie ' s desk ant. (U-posiled it at Lindsay ' s 4 ' ) feet. Lindsay picked it up and read it aloud: Senior theses in Ethics due May 15th, replacing it thought- fully on Venie ' s desk. We were all thoughtful for a spell— except Joe. His diesis is already written, corrected, rewritten. revised and typewritten. What is it on, Joe? asked Squidd ' . ' How to Dig out Greek Roots, ' confessed Joe. What is yours on? Mine? Oh. I haven ' t done a thing on it yet, said S(|uiddy. This is his usual remark; whenever you question liini about any work, it is his invariable reply , aiid yet he is our Shark, our Wonder! What was that writing on your desk about T.lackstone from a Scholar ' s Point of View ' ? questioned Peepee, suspiciously. Oh, that ' s only fifty pages of a brief; I haven ' t really begun yet. Sam is going to write on ' The Place Consistency and Determination Have in Success, ' volunteered Ed; and since Sam ' s ambitions have in four weeks touched upon the life of a pilot, a Sunday School Super- intendent, a red Indian, a forester, and a diplomat, the subject is worthy his varied treatment. And Ed ' s going to write on ' Golden Silence, ' Sam got back. Such a subject is certainly play for Ed. the terror of Dr. Jones. It would not be very difficult to prepare a list of subjects for Nineteen-Seven. Dodge, for instance, who has successfully kept the Haverfordian from yellow journalism and preserved it exempt from black- mail charges, might write on How to Live and even Edit a Paper without Offending Anybody; Buck might have The Letters of a Self-Made Man to his Sweethearts; Satan, How to Have a Bark that is Worse than your Bite; Paddy, My Country, ' Tis of Thee; Rossniaessler. Epicureanism; Alex, How to Construct a Stationary Engine ; Craig, Why Everybody but me is a , , ed Fool ; Comfort, The Uselessness of the Cartilage System ; Mike. The ' alue that Conies from Timely Seriousness; Cornell. The Advantage of Good Resolutions. But I fancy the real theses will have more sounding titles, though those outlined above would make infinitely better reading, and give our ethical President a better idea of what College has done for us. What have you written on. Ernie? asked Francis. ' Grit, Pluck and Modesty, ' someone answered. And if you have seen Ernie crash around the end with a football tucked under his arm, if you have .seen him tear through tackles, if you have seen him under a scrimmage fighting his way for a yard more — then you know he ought to write upon such a subject, though 50 3 FRCSHMEN A PROF VARNEftk ' ,IC- A SENIORS Alex ' s Stcilioncrv Eiii ' iiic. A JUNIOR he does not. And there are not a few in the class who could add a page on the same subject — Joe, Bazunk, Buck, Peebee, Jimmy, Ed and Art, our football material, deserving ' special mention. Nor should we forget the work of Mike, whose wisdom as manager certainly did much for our defeatlcss football career. And the grit of Bill leading the Soccer Team to glory, and the skill of Francis with his cricketers, demand attention. Our conservatives, who have led us through the ticklish places, who have repressed the turbulent and helped to create the Spirit of Nineteen-Seven, Mike March, Dodge, Wood and Evans, could write pages on Wisdom and Fraternity, and those few of us who can only yell and cheer come up grinning and unashamed with an additional page on Sleeping and Eating. As Satan would say, Give the devil his due. Realizing that it had made a mistake, the breeze caught the paper from Venie ' s desk again, and wiser by experience, carried it to Birdsall ' s feet. .iXnd Joe read it again.- — Senior theses in Ethics due May 15th. Senior theses in Ethics ! Yes, unquestionably. The days of Freshman rough-house have given way to Sophomore horsing; the days and nights of Sophomore horsing have retreated before Junior fussing; 53 tlif nights of Junior fussing are overtaken by our Senior dignity! And yet in the present there is (and let us be tiiankful for it) much of the past. Xineteen-Seven is proud that her sons are not too dignified. Let such Freshman irresponsibiHty as Satan showed when Dr. Comfort found it necessary to explain to him that the ciiair on the platform in Roberts Hall was meant for the Lecturer, be compared to our recent snow- ball fights, our Baby in the Hat (.Sockeyup !), and ' enie ' s notes on the Library lectures! ( )r com- pare the sleepless nights which the conduct of Sam, Bill and Satan in the dining-room gave to Dodge, Wood and Evans ! Yes, we can still enjoy Freshman fun ; we can still horse a classmate when we think he needs it (witness Polonius ) ; we still go fussing occasionally, and even Paul Brown, when he goes calling is learning to avoid saying, Sh ! keep it dark! Moreover, we know how to work upon occasions. Witness Fmmett Tatnall, who returned from Christmas ' acation with a bundle of books and a frown, and said. Xow romance is over and reality begins ; and the fact that he went away that very night only implies that he had no work to do. And last, we have quite as much dignity as desirable ; for, though few of us keep vaunting this commodity in an undignified manner, we can lay our hands on it the moment it is needed. .Senior theses due on May 15th, said Croll, and Mitcliell and Tcrrill looked as if they ought to be at work at once. Indeed, most of us wore the same expression, as we gathered around the piano before separating to join in Come and Sing the Good ( )ld Song. What an unusual class Xineteen-Sevcn is I The exclamation is, perhaps, ambiguous to those outside our fraternity ; but to us it has a definite meaning. Are not all things possible in a class where the hardest grind is voted the best-natured? Who. (iray, is to be the grouchiest? We know and cherish the Havcrford Spirit ; but in addi- tion to it, we have the Spirit of Nineteen-Seven to be proud of — a spirit that has made us stand together through thick and thin, that 54 Notes oil the Library Lectures. lias prevented any schisms in our class, that has bouiul us iiTorc closely togethLT than ever the I laverlord Spirit could have done, and that impels us to gather and unite in Here ' s to Nineteen-Seven ! And when we separate from such a gathering, ' tis the same spirit that causes each one of us alone, almost unconsciously, to echo: Here ' s to Xinetcen-Seven ! S7 ,r Haverford Meeting House Tke Inquisition The Class of 1907 weighs two and one-fourth tons, with an average weight of 157.2 pounds. The average height is 5 feet loyi inches, and the average age is 21.7 years. There are fourteen Friends in the class, two Episcopalians, two Presbyterians, two German Reformed, one Congregationalist, one Methodist, one Lutheran, three Free-thinkers, while Lee is a Determinist, Satan a Mohammedan and Haines a Judaizer. There are twentv-two Americans in the class, two of Welsh extraction, two of German, one Porto Rican and one from Titusville. 1. ll ' ho is the liaiidsoincst man in the classf Godlev is the modest recipient of this honor. His successes as representative of the fair sex in our Sophomore and Junior plays gave him an easy victory. Rossmaessler also ran. 2. IVho thinks he is? Our friend Polonious won out here. Haines was never known to veil his face but once — the tiiue he discreetly withdrew behind the arras. Windle and Dodge tied for second place. Dodge ' s assumption is manifestly untenable upon the face of it. There is good base for Windle ' s claim. 3. Who is the biggest fusser? Though there were others that seemed to be in the running, Mike March won by a full lap, the Secretary being instructed to record a unanimous vote. 4. Who thinks he is? Bill Rossmaessler ' s efiforts during the past year have easily won him the laurels. Wood ' s volu- minous correspondence and Georgie Comfort ' s youthful ardor deserve mention. 5. Who is the best natnred? Birdsall ' s affable smile and silent resignation to our ceaseless jollying won this appreciation from the class. Nicholson ' s patience with the cricketers in the Junior Play and his ready fund of edifying stories and apt table-talk gave him second place. 60 6. IVho is the biggest knocker? One need only ask Craig ' s opinion upon anything. an wlu-re. at any time, to realize win lie attaineil this honor even against such a rival as Satan, with his well-rcs])ccte(l and oarefully-uurturod indigestion. 7. Who is the most disorderly f Cumniere won this without a dissenting vntf. llrain-storm was the diagnosis of tlic cnnferrin ' .;- experts, Dr. Haines and Psychologist Lee. 8. IVho is the greatest grind? The class ro.se en masse and saluted Dirdsall. with uncovered heads. Shoemaker, with his fourth reading prize, received honorahle mention. 9. IVho is the dressiest? Ros.smaessler. (I ' ide Question 4.) Dodge ' s chrtiuic liat)it of wearing cuffs and collars around Col- lege, even at hreakfast. won him second place. 10. Who isn ' t? Through the vista of the years the memory of Lewis ' s faun-like flight across the cam;nis, clad only in moonlight, accords him this trihute. siinuna eiiin Uuide. Lee ' s characteristic unconventionality and his philosopher ' s garh make him a close seeond. Warner, wliilc his automnhile was in the process of construc- tion, was in a class by himself. 1 1. Who is the laziest? Throughout his entire college course. Ed Tatnall has religiously arranged his schedule to enahle him to offer the tir.st hour of each morning ujion the altar of orpheus. He has even snatched occasional moments during Dr. Hall ' s lectures for furtluT iimpitiatinn. Such touching devotion to the god of sleep wins him this tribute. 12. IVho is the most cnnscri ' ative financier? .Art r.rown, by his sweater deal, captured this title: Haines ' s ability to scent out opportunities for graft made him a clo.se second ; Birdsall ' s seduction hy Psyche into buying a College bed lost him many political supporters. 13. Who is the brightest? The class considers that Evans deserves this honor; Iiis rc]nitation was earned hv a conscientious application Freshman year. ;md this has served with the faculty to carry him along ever since. 61 14. Who thinks he is? The presence of Ed Tatnall did not leave this question long in doubt. Evans and Lee tied for second honors. 15. Who is the most versatile? Nicholson wins easily. His cricket won him a few votes, his music won him more ; but his illustrated note-book, which has kept the class awake during many lectures, received the greatest appreciation. Gum- mere ' s adaptability to environment deserves mention. 16. Who is the ' least appreciated? The following men each received one ' ote : Birdsall, Brown, Brown, Comfort, Craig, Croll, Dodge, Eldridge, Evans, Godley, Gummere, Haines, Hoover, Jones, Lee, Lindsay, Magill, March, March, Mitchell, Morton, Nicholson, Padin, Ricks, Rossmaessler, Shoemaker, Tatnall, Tatnall, Terrill, Warner, Windle, Wood. As a result of this tie another ballot was cast, which gave the distinction to Cornell March, with Lee second. 17. Who is the iiost consistent liar? Quite a little talent was disclosed by the answers to this question, several men being adjudged specialists in their respective lines. Craig received first place for his all-round work. Eldridge received many votes for his varied replies to the question, When are the grades coming out, Billie? 18. Who tries to be? Gummere ' s aspirations to the diplomatic service seem to necessitate practice in this branch of culture. 19. Who is the chro)iic misa)ithropc? Craig had few rivals for this title. Nothing ever has been found that really pleased George. 20. Who has the largest capacity? Birdsall, Paul Brown and Ed Tatnall forged ahead in this contest, but Birdsall was first at the steak ; Tatnall came in for seconds. Somebody cast a vote for Bibulous Bill. 21. What was your best year in College? The vote was practically unanimous for Senior Year ; Hoover said his first. 22 . What is your favorite elective? Why? A glance over the men who have elected Commercial Law and History would decide this vote, their quantity deciding the first part of the question, and their quality the second. One fool voted for Five- hundred, because it ' s cheaper than poker. 62 vS •- f u - m - ' 23. Who lia s got the most out of College? Buck Haines, unquestionably. Some miserable punster said Satan — two weeks besides vacation. Craig absent-mindedly asked which college? 24. What is the finest thing the ela-ss has eivr done X ' aried indeed were the answers to this question. Many centered about Dr. Harry and our Fresh- man Year ' s achievements ; the Junior Play was looked back upon with pride, and the contribution of eight men to the football team Senior Year received mention. Many spoke of the way in which our class has always stuck together. 25. Jl ' hat docs the Faculty think about this. ' Satan says they don ' t think ; but the general opinion is that our graduation pleases that august body as well as anything we have ever done. 26. What is your oum greatest achievement? A few said coming to Haverford : more said getting through. Hoover said finding one thing Dr. Hall doesn ' t know. Jones blushingly pointed to Question 28. 27. Who is your faroritc professor? Nearly every professor had one or more supporters — a man ' s choice seeming invariably to fall upon the professor with whom he has had the most work. Dr. Jones received the majority of votes. Dr. Hall tied with Dr. Brown for second place. Percy Fritz sent a proxy for Dr. Harry. 28. Hai ' e you ever kissed a girl? The meeting was temporarily suspended here while liirdsall was resuscitated. Wc admire the frank honesty of most of the class. Rossmaessler said not a girl. Birdsall, Evans, Shoemaker, Haines, War- ner and March ( !) were the only ones who denied it. Terrell and Lee refused to answer. Question 17 seems to require reconsideration. P. S. — Warner afterwards confessed to the editors that he had. 29. If so, why? If not, tf iv not? Upon the former horn of this dilemma were impaled so many personal and confidential impressions that we have not the heart to print them. As for the others. Sarcastic Satan .said he did not have the face to do it. Haines, with professional caution, said osculation is unhygienic. 30. oi ' c you ever been a habitue of Bryn Mant College? The class voted No unanimously. (Cf. Question 17 uitli reference to George Craig.) 6S 31. iriial has hccii the jiuuiicst occurrence nj aiir College course. The over-present memories of our Sophomore EngHsh days, with their echoes of the slog;an peace or war, drew the most votes. Freshman History was remembered, (nnnmere was ])ronounced a shade funnier than Rossmaessler thinks he is. Besides these, appreciation was given to the sermon in Meeting, when it was logically explained that some were walking up and down the deck, others were sitting down, .some were sitting, others were walking, — and those that were not walking were sitting! T,2. Who will be most siiecessfiil in fntnrc life. ' Emmett Tatnall ' s ability as a manager and his diplomacy inspire the class with confidence in his success. Many understood the question as most sucessful in tlic future life? and voted for Dodge. 3,5. ;(■ (() thinks he will ' . ' The class seems to consider that Haines has the most confidence in his own ultimate success. 34. IVho will be married first? ' . ' This was a close and inspiring contest between M. II. March and lilldridge. in which March finally won out. 35. Who tliinks he will. ' Again Rossmaessler, smiling and triumphant, forged ahead of all competitors. 36. IVhat is oiir favorite girl ' s ntnne ' The slight ambiguity in the (|uestiiin resulted in a reticence about answering it. The name Geraldine was the most popular; the north end of Lloyd llall preferred Kitt_ -, . What is your ideal in life? The taste of 1907 seems to be very epicurean. A few voted for success in their respective pro- fessions, but most of the class hoped to exchange their practice in cutting lectures for proficiency in cutting coupons. Gummere ' s ambition is so praiseworthy that it deserves mention : To be so intelligent and successful that Ed Tatnall will listen to my side of an argument. Dodge said he had answered this t|uestion under 36. 66 •ii()ii;. l.l. Si II i Tlie Sopkomore Play It was startling, to say the least, and somewhat revolutionary, when, about mid-year of our Sopho- more Year, somebody got up in a class meeting and proposed that 1907 give a dance. Just who the intrepid individual was is forgotten at present, but it sounds like Bill Ross or Percy Fritz, — they were always hard to keep bridled. Evidently it was a dark-horse plan which had quite a few secret supporters, for among the blanched faces that marked the body of the house after the suggestion, here and there could be seen furtive glances of pleasure at the novel proposal. But the natural conservatism of the class seemed to prophesy the quashing of a motion for a dance per se; finally somebody suggested a short play to serve as an introduction to the long dance, and this won a few of the conservatives. But it was not until some altruistic philanthropist proposed charging admission and giving the proceeds toward the Boys ' Club Building in Preston that the Friendly element weakened. With sobs and cheers, the motion was put through and then one that a committee be appointed to interview President Sharpless and tell him of our generous idea, this committee to consist of the class Cane Men and the captain of the Sophomore Football Team. It was thought then that, for reasons of weight, it would be unfeasible to negotiate for the Gymnasium as a location for our anticipated terpsichorean revels, so the Merion Cricket Club was decided upon. Our class annals lack a full report from the Cane Committee, who so tactfully and modestly inter- viewed President Sharpless relative to our generous scheme. They have always been strangely reticent regarding all that passed during the conference. But enough has been told to know that our President was strangely affected and that his genial gray eyes were dimmed with tears as he gave his consent and with choked voice muttered some phrase beginning with charity — ! ! An Entertainment Committee was appointed by the Class President — twelve men in all and largely those of erstwhile furtive glances of pleasure. Then some play had to be decided upon, and a mock trial seemed to be the thing. There were many things to be said in its favor, chief of which was that it would be short. Art. Brown said he had a dandy, but when it was produced it was clearly seen it would have to be expurgated for a Haverford audience. So Art. Brown and Dodge, with suggestions from Fritz, Gummere and P. W. Brown, re-wrote the play with a definite dialogue, added a touch of the romantic by bringing several women into the case, and polished it oflf by a judicious selection of names for the cast. 68 Little need be said of the final production. In fact the less the better ! The mimic court room resounded with scintillating bursts of oratory interspersed with acutely worded hypothetical questions. Then, too, those were the davs when the Hancockian gesture was at its height of popularity and its frequent use lent dignity and connotation to the scene. Gummere (Sam. that is) aided greatly by contributing several of his unique brain-storms, which added much to his part — already full. It must be added that in the imposing ensemble, before the curtain ran down finally, several of the cast were presented with beautiful bunches of radishes and carrots, boutonnieres of cabbage and other rare orchids, which were tender testimonials of the appreciation of the audience. Another— and a far more touching one —is that the class was able to give one hundred and fifty-six dollars and twenty cents to Dr. Babbit toward the Preston Fund. ' . ' . ' .Cast ' - ' ' ' ' Judge M.

The said Thomas was a cat and was the property of the Baldwin girls. What lent gravity to the tragedy was the fact that the said Thomas was then living out his ninth life. The chief clues leading to the prisoner ' s arrest were these : he had once had a quarrel with the deceased ; the deceased was last seen alive just before the prisoner left the Baldwin home on that fateftil evening. Besides these, there are several facts of circumstantial evidence which seem to point to the guilt of the prisoner. The case is to be tried before a court representing the Comingwealth of Preston. 69 The Cast — Junior Play Cl)e Cast W2M M E ER- ' W Muriel Nelson, George ' s Aunt, the woman Emmett R.

The long period of uncertainty, anticipation and grinding practice, was well crowned by a performance which we enjoyed giving as a class, and concerning the merit of which we have our own opinion. What an evening it was! Truly we were fortunate. How warm and clear was the night! How redolent was the campus with the essence of the flowers and all that invigoration which makes Haverford incomparable in the spring I Strains of music drowned the finer aeolian chords of the faint breezes as they hummed in the trees, the somber, gables of the old library, and through the cloisters of the Elizabethan garden. The Gymnasium, hardly to be recognized in its trimmings of green and white, offered a comfort- able retreat where people could meet each other better than out of doors. Then, finally, the bountiful tables, spread on the lantern-studded quadrangle, offered enjoyment that was fully as seductive as the less substan- tial sights and sounds. Without the bounds of the lanterns, where the lights grew fainter and fainter and seemed finally to surrender in the arms of darkness, the clear stars gleamed and twinkled, oblivious of the intoxication of the evening, but here and there they were out-gleamed and out-twinkled by the lights of — but why go on with that! During the early part of our Sophomore Year we began to look forward to our Junior Play. A committee was elected, with Haines as chairman, which consisted of Evans, Gummere, Mike. March, Nicholson, Shoemaker and Dodge. Plans were carefully made to have the play written before the end of that year, so the fellows could study their parts over vacation. Oh, mockery of Fate! The play was not begun until after mid-years of Junior Year. By that time a few of the committee were despondent ; some suggested substituting a dance and one weakly proposed a mock trial. This last suggestion marked an epoch. After removing the sofa-pillows and resusciating the individual, the committee really got to work and decided each to outline a plot. Then followed a season of plots and practises, with the result that the general outline proposed by Dodge was accepted and he was appointed to serve as collaborator and work up 72 the play from the suggestions that had been received. Nicholson, Haines and Shoemaker were especially fertile, and the final production was a very composite affair. One fateful day the class congregated to hear it read — forty theme-paper pages. There was an element of tragedy about the occasion. Dodge tried to picture his proposed stage setting by blackboard pictures; then the ordeal began. As the plot unfolded, disheartened jokes and situations, which the author had probably carefully nurtured and cherished, fell heavily — but unnoticed — to the floor. With a heavy heart, the class voted to accept it. Nicholson then added his part by contributing the songs, which had been suggested throughout the play, and the music in general for the marches. This was the great feature of the play, and, although 1907 is very unpretentious when it comes to singing, the music drew forth all our latent and hidden abilities. Rehearsals were begun in earnest. Paul Brown was appointed stage manager, and, with the advice of Mr. Knowlten — for whom 1907 will ever cherish a fond regard — and with the services of Graves, ' 06, at the piano, a very finished performance was prepared. Finally the stage properties and effects, which were built and arranged by the mechanics — Warner, Craig and Comfort — lent the final setting which was needed to place the performance in the rank a class production by 1907 should properly attain. Then the performance ! We are loath to leave the details we so love to meditate upon ! How we should like to linger over and praise the histrionic ability exhibited by so many of the cast! From the first strains of Hail Cornell and For Haverford, and the batting of the cricket balls, until the Class Song ended as the curtain fell, it was continuous sport. What mattered then the long weeks of practise, of worry, the unceasing sound of Turn, ta-ta-ta-ta ! as some of the cricketers forgot which was their right foot? What mattered then the work of the day — the toil and worry of transforming the imposing dollar effect — the Gymnasium offered at noon, into the realm of arboreal beauty it presented that night? What mattered then that the pillow thrown at the opening of the play tore away the curtain from the right stage door, revealing the hidden activities and the potential treasures of the dressing room to the appreciative gaze of a thousand pairs of eyes? All were forgotten in the fun and excitement of the evening. All slipped away into the undertow of forgetfulness. We could only revel in the deepened bonds of unity and fellowship which have been growing closer from that time on, and that are strongest now as we graduate when we turn back to view again, though only through the vista of memory, our Junior Class Day. argument The plot was as follows : Mike Newcomb and George Mendel are to have a tea in their rooms on the afternoon of a cricket match with Cornell. A telegram arrives for George, saying that his aunt, who 75 is to chaperone the affairs, will not arrive until late. At this point Jack Rearle bursts Into the room, dressed in the costume he is to wear to a mask ball. He is captured and imprisoned and made to take the part of George ' s aunt. Meanwhile Mike ' s uncle arrives unexpectedly and is invited to the tea. The girls arrive, and Jack is in the midst of his chaperoning when the real aunt appears. Mr. ewcomb, Mike ' s uncle, recognizes a long lost love in Muriel, — Jack recognizes his finish ! Curtain. 70 J. W. N. Tempo rf( Mnrnn. g i i ATHLETIC SONG. J. W.

The Courses An Rppreciation Respecffully Dedicated to Certain Professors. Nineteen-Seien came to College eager in pursuit of Icnou edge ; Wisdom s apple was devoured even to the seeds and core. Consternation ' s woeful traces troubled our professors ' faces For they knew they ' d lose their places to us if we learned much more — Lose the lucrative positions they had so long studied for. And regain them — nevermore! II. So we got our education learned by mental application; Many things had Alma Mater up her sleeve for us in store, As we learned and sought for other wider fields our learned mother Shook her sleeve, and out another course would tumble to the floor. Till at last a single subject there was left of all her lore;— Economics III. and IV. III. Tiy her crazy bone secreted, till her bounty was depleted There it stuck, and we as Seniors found it out and called for more. Our professor demonstrated how-er-the-er unions hated To-er-be-incorporated, with apologies galore. Till the slumbrous incantation moved the whole back row to snore. Sleeping, dreaming evermore. 92 n: Possibly in this connection ice should mention the selection Made by those ii ho hunt cinch courses plain and simple, nothing more. AH the questions are related to Kamchatka and the fated Mr. Fiddlesticks who hated the brass monkeys we adore; For to pass examinations we just scan these topics o ' er; Merely these and nothing more. y. Once we tried some permutations tangled up with combinations. How the muddled explanations from the doctor ' s lips would pour! And with many a stut-stut-stutter he would mumble and mut-mutter. And a problem ut-ut-utter with intricacies galore. Till we all directed Math the lower regions to explore And return — oh nevermore! VI. Other courses claim attention and we should not fail to mention Soph ' more English where dynamic Dr. Hancock has the floor; ■yind VeQuincy ' s Turple Patches as a subject fully matches Ining ' s (irace-Notes —one which catches themes sarcastic from a score. Till exclaims the doughty Doctor with a gesture, waxing sore: Take your choice now! Peace or war? III. AH these courses gave enjoyment, incidentally employment. While repeatedly we waited for the bell to say ' tis o ' er! How we long for Hankey ' s thunder! Oscar ' s notice of a blunder : I ' m afraid thee has gone under! holds us breathless now no more. Four short years of pure enjoyment vanish as we shout encore ! And we ' ll match them— nevermore ! 93 It would be strikingly inconsistent and one-sided in a narrative of the deeds of 1907 to ignore its gastronomic achievements. We are not all athletes, nor students, nor actors, nor literateurs, nor yet all grinds, but when it comes to rallying round the festive board, every man of us has always given his quick and willing support. Scholars tell us that the first religious services of primitive man were not burnt offerings and sacrifices meant to propitiate the gods, but were communal meals, at which the gods were supposed to be present and taking part in a thoroughly neighborly and friendly manner. This brings us into the spirit of our first class feed, at which Dr. Harry was our guest. All the class was not there. It was very informal, — in one of the rooms in Freshman Hall during our first year. We always loved to think of Dr. Harry in just the spirit of the memory of that night recalls to mind. Not as a being above us, to be propitiated, but as one with us and of us, thoroughly appreciative of our innocent and playful pranks and not above an occasional roughhouse with Percy and some of the other fun-loving boys of our class. That occasion marked the beginning of our class feeds ; it was distinguished by great informality and was rendered all the more enjoyable thereby. We still remember with great pleasure how Dick Cadbury entertained us several times at feeds at his home during that year. 94 Sophomore Year we gave a banquet shortly boforc the Christmas hohdays. We went to Boothby s after Haines, as chairman of the committee, had thoroughly tried out the foods served at all the available places in town ( ' ide No. 23 of Class Census). No record of the event seems to be extant, but it is remem- bered that Rossmaessler was toastmaster and that we had a very good dinner and very bad speeches. Junior Year we again went to Boothby ' s for our annual dinner. Haines was toastmaster. Dodge spoke on The Class, Jones on Athletics, Evans on The Ladies, Windle on The Dining Room, and Shoemaker on Lonesomehurst. This year the conditions were reversed, and we had a very bad dinner and very good speeches. Shoemaker ' s speech on Lonesomehurst is especially memorable, and his Megsy, Old Boy, de- servedly made him toastmaster for our Senior dinner. A couple of the fellows entertained the class at a feed and a smoker later in Junior Year, and then we had a famous reunion after the guests had left the night of Junior Day. ' ery appropriately we went to the Bellevue-Stratford for our Senior dinner. It was held March eighth — after we had well recuperated from mid-year exams. This was the most enjoyable dinner we have had, and. even though the speeches were no better than they should be, the informality and aptness of some of the remarks from the pit kept their level up to that of the dinner, which was excellent. Shoe- maker made a capital toastmaster. Dodge spoke on The Occasion, Lindsay on The North — A South- erner ' s ' iew, Craig on A Matrimonial Diagnosis, Wood on Commencement, Nicholson on The Future. and Mike March on The Class. Afterward several informal speeches were called for from different men. During the last half of Senior Year our regular class feeds were a great feature— not always con- ducted with all decorum possible, but good fun, nevertheless, and making us feel the spirit of the old toast: Merry are we met, merry have we been, And merrv mav we meet again. 97 Reading Room SPECIMEN NOTE BOOK PAGES fiPPRECIATING the fact that the general laity is unacquainted with the methods devsed to transmit the rap dly deliv- ered erudition of our professors to paper, we have selected at random a few pages illustrating our scheme. These demonstrate the great advantages derived from illusiraiing lectures. It not only fixes important points indelibly upon the memory, but a comprehensive sketch often serves to epitomize the salient points of long discourse- We trust that the elucidation of our method will cause it to come into more general use in the future. 99 ivt«- v« BROWhJ I ' c;i;: = C rvvvvvi. v- ■l-- ' l-V I- ' ff{ ' n u A T ' ' t 1 Booy- , i ' str-- -tfi Biology I.

It was the idea formerly to develop eleven men to win the last game. The success of the season depended upon the winning of that. The policy now is to get as many as possible to play football for the fun there is in it — keeping in mind, however, that it is more fun to win than to lose. We now pla - to win every game on the schedule, and the success of the season is based on the whole season ' s record. Xineteen-seven ' s football career was auspicious from the first. Within two weeks after entering College we defeated 1906 in the annual Freshman-Sophomore game, 6-0. In Sophomore Year our well-rounded class team defeated 1908, 12-0. Birdsall, Haines, Jones and Wood made the College team during their Freshman Year and won their H s. The same men played regularly on the Varsity during Sophomore and Junior Years. Tatnall won his II in Junior Year. Jones, after playing a consistently brilliant game on the Varsity for three years, was elected Captain, and M. H. March Manager for Senior Year. .A. E. lirown, P. W. Brown and iMagill won their H ' s this year, bringing the total number nf Iddth.-ill Irttc-r men in the Class up to eight — a record of which to be proud. . A very well balanced schedule was arranged. Coaches Thiirn and Hopkins develo])ed a light but speedy team, which took advantage of the forward pass and the new formations nia le possible under the new rules. Jones made an excellent leailer, and March filled the arducius duties of Manager with great efficiency. Tlie team beat Lehigh on their home grounds, 6-0, went through the season without losing a game, and ended up by defeating N ' ew York l nivcrsity. 68-0. . t the close of this most successful season a dinner at the Mcrinii Cricket Club was tendered to the team I) ' the Alumni in rei ' iigtiitidu cif this record. Cricket Team Cricket The ideal of plavins the g;anie for the fun tliere is in it is approached most nearly in the glorions old English game of erieket, which was first played in America at Haverford. During onr l ' reshnian and Sophomore Years, (iodley represented 1907 on the first eleven, and A. Brown. P. lirown. I-lvans, (iummere and Magill on the second, (iodley liatted and howled with great con- sistency during Freshman Year. lie won his colors anil went with the team to England, where his consistently good playing aided materially in making the trip a great success. In the spring of Sophomore Year we won the College championship, much to the surprise of 1906. The victory was due in large part to the batting and bowling of our Captain Godley. In Junior Year, Godley. . . I ' .rown. Evans and Magill played on the first eleven, of which Godley was Manager and W ' indle .Assistant. e tied for the Intercollegiate Championship with Cornell and Pennsylvania, and the cup remained in our possessiiri. where it has been for many years. Nineteen-seven again won the interclass championship by a very substantial margin. Magill won his colors this year. Godley was elected Captain of the College team for our Senior Wnr, with Nicholson as Manager. We again won the interclass chamiiionship this ear by defeating first the Juniors and then the Freshmen in easy fashion. The College team has drawn two games and lo.st one so far. We expect a successful season, but whether we win or lose, the game ' s the thing: and we shall look back with fond memories to the happy hours we have spent playing ( )n the fields of Haverford Where llie II.iiiikI breeches scored . iul we yo, yo. yo ' d like thunder With a thee-thou Haverford. 5 Gymnastic Team Gymnasium The work of njoj in the ( Air.nasium is a vahiable fact with which to prove the Law of Compensa- tion. With a football team ui)cm wliich eight 1907 men have won their football H ' s, and with our note- worthy success in cricket, track and soccer, there should necessarily be one sport in which we do not excel. We started out all risjht in (;vninasiuni. Rossmacssler appearing in the Quadrangular Meet, Freshman Year; but it was too great an effort for Bill, and he dropped from view. In Senior Year, however, after spasmodic efForts to show the College that we really were worth something in this department, we produced P.irdsall, displaving his manlv form every afternoon in a combination decollete-dress-front gym. suit, marking up Freshman cuts. lragging mats, and finishing up the day ' s exercise by doing a kip on the horizontal bar. The team this vcar, with Rossmaessler as Manager, I ' .ushnell. ' 08, as Captain, lias made a very good record. .A.fter the regular quadrangular meet with Princeton, Columbia and Pennsylvania, we defeated Lehigh in a dual meet. In a meet with Pennsylvania we were defeated by two points. As every member of this year ' s team will be back, an exceptionally strong team should represent Haverford next year. 119 Track Team Track While we liave been in College track athletics have become more and more regular Haverford sport. Our records are constantly improving and vc are meeting on the cinder path, with equal chances of success, colleges from whom it is an honor to win. When 1907 entered College, we possessed very few experienced track men, and the best we could do was to tic for second place in the interclass relays. E. C. Tatnall, P. Brown and Fritz made the College team. Tatnall broke the College record for the mile and won third jilace in the mile run at the annual intercoUegiates. In Sophomore Year we struck our gait and won from njoS in the fall meet by the score of 53 to 18. In the spring we got together our famous eight-man relay team, wliich won first place by one hundred yanls. Jones established a College record in the discus throw this year. In Junior Year Rossmaessler and Magill made their appearance on the College team, and Jones again broke the record for the discus throw. Our veteran class relay team again won first place in easy fashion, while in the interclass track sports 1907 won second place. A College relay team was developed this spring for the first lime in several years. This team, com|ioscd wholly of Freshmen, won first place in the annual rel.iy races lield by tlic University nf I ' eimsyl- vania. Dual meets were held with Wesleyan. Lehigh and Xew York I ' niversities, all of which were won by I laverford with the best track team that has ever represented the College. 121 Soccer Team iDoccer r During 1907 ' s stay at College soccer has been raised from a very minor sport to one regularly recog- nized by the College. In Freshman Year the College team, which included Rossmaessler, F.. R. Tatnall and P. Brown, won third place in the Cricket Club League. After a very exciting season in our Sophomore Year, Haverford finally won the Cricket Club League Cup, and twice beat Harvard in the first intercollegiate soccer game ever played in this country. In the spring, at the invitation of Columbia, an intercollegiate league was formed, consisting of Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Haverford. In Junior Year Haverford again won the intercollegiate championsliip by defeating Harvard, Penn- sylvania and Cornell, and tying with Columbia. We lost the Cricket Club Cup, but finished among the first half of the clubs. Rossmaessler, P. W. Brown, Godley and Windle played on the team this year, and also E. R. Tatnall until taken ill. Rossmaessler won his H, and was elected Captain for Senior Year, with E. R. Tatnall as Manager. Prospects were not at all bright for winning the intercollegiate championship our last year. Ross- maessler set to work in a determined way to round out a team with the helpful coaching of Dr. Mustard. Haverford ' s victories over Cornell and Harvard, the tie with Penn and Columbia ' s forfeit again gave the intercollegiate title to us. Beside Captain Rossmaessler, Godley, Windle and Warner played on the team. Rossmaessler and Windle were awarded the Soccer H, and Godley and Warner their colors. The first series of interclass matches was started this year. We lost by one goal to 1908. who won the College championship. Soccer furnishes a very healthful sport for the late fall, and we feel sure that it is a game that has come to stay in the American college. 123 Haverfordian Board The Haverfordian Editor-i)i-Clucf Ira Jacob Dodge Associate Editors Samui;l J. ( ' iL-mmi;ke Ali-ked Lowuv, 2d James P. Magii.i. Business Managers J. Passmore Elkixto.n- Walter ' . Whitson Lot us take a hasty glance at the literary efforts of 1907. Toward the end of Freshman Year, Gumniere and Magill were elected to the Haverfordian Hoard. This event, however, caused no great stir, and the Haverfordian continued very much as before. The duties of these two were to allow their names to apjjear at the head of the paper, to attend occasional ■■feeds, and to have their pictures taken once a year with the Hoard. The time arrived, however, in the middle of Junior Year, for 1907 to assume the whole responsibility of the paper. Dodge was chosen as the most capable to wield the editorial ■ we — which means doing most of the work. He was accordingly installed in the office of Editor-in-Chief. The general literary policy of the paper was continued very much as in the preceding year. How- ever, the wave of reform which swept over the countr - spread even to the Haverfordian. The previous system of unlimited graft for the business managers was thought to be unwise. Through the efforts of Dodge and Elkinton, ' 08. a constitution was drawn uj). which was intended to place the Haverfordian upon a more systematic and better business basis. This constitution was approved by the President of the College and was adopted unanimously by the Haverfordian Board. Under the new rules the paper is to be in the hands of a self-perpetuating P oard of Editors with eight members as a ma.ximum, and a business manager who chooses an assistant from a class below his. One-tenth of the income of the i)aper is turned into a surplus fund, which may, under specified conditions, be applied to the improvement of the magazine, or to some College or athletic activity. The balance is divided into thirds, two-thirds going to the Business Managers and one-third to the Editorial Board, to be apportiimed In llu- I ' jlltnrs. tin- (inly stipuhitinn being that they shall receive its value in books and not in cash. .As Kp7 leaves this work, we feel sure that the Haverfordian will contimie to maintain its stamlard, in spite of the fact that it will lack the fiery editorials, the little I ' nrto Kican romances, the light, humorous stories from the pens of Dodge. Padin and Eldridgc. Best wishes from 1907 to the Haverfordian of the future ! I2S Musical Clubs Musical Clubs As a musical class, 1907 started out very uiodestl . The trials held iu Freshman Year for admission to the Glee and Mondolin Chihs were looked at askance as terrifying ordeals, and onlv the boldest of our singers and musicians ventured to show their skill. However, these volunteers soon discovered that virtuoso efficiency and leonine locks were unnecessary adjuncts to the qualification of a Ilaverford musi- cian ; so, with this encouragement loyal and able support was rendered by them to both clubs. Uarr, P. W. Brown, Dodge, Lewis and M. H. March were successful applicants to the Glee Club, while Warner and W ' indle obtained recognition in the Mandolin Club. Our initial season was a satisfactorv one ; the qualms of stage fright were sufficiently overcome to make us appear veterans of the footlights. The Christmas entertainment was followed by a concert and dance at Merion Cricket Club in April, which was the appropriate ending to a most successful season. It was here another representative of 1907 came under the limelight in the person of Nicholson, who was added to the Mandolin Club just in time to assist Windle in doing the Freshman ' s job of moving chairs on the stage. In -Sophomore Year Warner held the assistant managership of the clubs, and A. E. Hrown joined our band of singers. A successful Christmas concert was given, and, as usual, the season closed with a dance at Merion Cricket Club in June; the clubs keeping in practice between times by trips to Camden, Frankford and numerous boy ' s clubs, not to mention the moonliglit moaning of a few of the more sentimental of our number under the vine-wreathed windows of our Bryn Mawr sisters. Junior Year in the annals of the clubs was one of great activity. Concerts were given at Ilaverford. Germantown, Wayne, Tioga, Frankford and the Pennsylvania Hospital; and furthermore, a trip was arranged which lasted three days of the spring vacation. Nicholson was claimed by the Glee Club this year. Warner proved a past master as manager of the clubs and financier of the trip, being ably seconded by Assistant Manager Windle. Wilmington, Pialtimore and Lancaster, in turn, were treated to concerts on the tour, and those who took the trip were highly elated by its success. Numerous little incidents added humor to the occasion; as when at P.altimore our leader dropped his chair three times, and Weked it across 127 the stage in his efforts to appear at ease, and not mar the mihtary precision with which the MandoUn Club made its entrance. The Baltimore trolleys seemed to possess the usual southern languor, and in consequence we missed the train that was to start us on our way to Lancaster by about five minutes. Consternation reigned, for the ne.xt train would be too late. A passionate appeal softened the heart of the P. R. R., and the train was held up a short distance down the tracks while we pursued it, madly flourishing guitars and mandolins. One member, however, missed it altogether, arriving in Lancaster while the concert was in progress. His advent almost ruined the Glee Club, as it was found difficult to force a passionate serenade through a broad grin. No dance was held at Merion Cricket Club this year, on account of the many con- certs already given ; and at the close of the season Nicholson was elected leader of both clubs, while Windle received the managership. Senior Year started out rather dubiously on account of the lack of singers to fill the Glee Club ' s depleted ranks. The Mandolin Club, however, reached the highest stage of efficiency it had attained during our four years in college, and, along with the Glee Club, which had by that time found itself, gave one of the most successful Christmas concerts in our history. Wayne, Narberth, Moorestown and Frankford were visited in turn, and with the same success which marked the Christmas concert. As this goes to print plans are being made for a final concert and dance at Merion Cricket Club, which is expected to be a most fitting close to a very satisfactory season. : - ha ita jqua ' ' means these three things- Which interests you?

They are directed and personally superintended by eight members of the Steinway family. All their work is done in the only complete piano fac- tory in the world. Every piece of every Steinway is closely scrutinized and severely tested before use. The effort is con- tinuous and unsparing to make every Steinway as near perfect as possible.
