Yet the discerning will catch, perhaps between the lines, occasional glimpses of that deep and ever-growing love for Haverford which has been our inspiration. H ? ■r.

Joe Tatnall, ever a courageous soul, walked up to Lanee Latheni and found out where eolleetioii was held. Then we went decorously toward Bar- clay, discussing certain vague rumors of a canc-rush, and first-night. It was just as we reached the Quercus IVIacrocarpa — since hallowed by association with Morgenstein — that we saw the three gentle- men from Baltimore. Fran, tall and austere, .lawn, wreathed in smiles, and a very disgusted looking 37 Jerry Morgan — they make an unforgetable picture. A little later we were sitting in Roberts, beneath the august eye of the President. We had a chance to look ourselves and our neighbors over a bit. Ollie Porter ' s hair and the half human visage that peered out from between Gifford and Hall were landmarks. Taylor, G. K., Lycett and Kurtz wore the care-free smiles that continually illumined their brief stay among us, while McConnell and Morgan showed all the marks of a direct descent from Cer- berus and Blackest Midnight. Over in the Sophomore section we saw the stalwart frames of Murray, Moon and Biedenbach, and, seeing, we trembled — some of us. It is not on record that Church trembled. Then the President cleared his throat and looked over his gla.sses. College had begun. After lunch we were herded in Chase Hall where a gruff Junior told us what was expected of us in the cane-rush and advised a speedy elec- tion of cane-men. As soon as he had departed, Redfield, our chairman, called a class meeting. The big-looking boys were ranged in front and the rest of us began to vote. Some one pointed to Joe Tatnall ' s mighty girth and an admiring Ah went through the throng. Husky, good- natured old Peaslee, and a gaunt, fiery-looking youth, named Hare, were the other two picked by the first voter. After that it became a habit. Peaslee, Tatnall, Hare, boomed McConnell; Peas lee, Tatnall, Hare, piped little Fred Curtis, and we adjourned to our various classes. Four o ' clock found a motley crowd assembled on Walton Field waiting for the gun. To most of us the memory of those three minutes is as bitter ashes. There were sweat and dust, and kicking, squirming bodies, and a rangy, camel-like creature called Honus, who circled about the outskirts and pulled our 38 feet. Few of us, indeed, waited to hear the hands counted. We scuttled away hke rabbits. Some hid in the nearer woods, others dashed for tlie sheltering by-ways of Ardmore and Bryn Mawr. Joe Tatnall was soon discovered attempting to hide under a leaf in the grove behind Lloyd Hall. Part of him was under the leaf but a great deal showed. At supper the small portion of the class who had been captured heard with glee the news that we had won the cane-rush. By midnight the reil-hatted hordes had gathered most of us on the toji floor of South Barclay. Let us pass quickly over the ignominy of that night. The stock phrases of torture were hurled at us from behind the glare of the flashlights and upon the wet and soapy floor we writhed in the usual wimplings and babblings. At two o ' clock the last shivering, naked member of the class of Nineteen-Thirteen had drunk deep of the bed-spring in Center Barclay and run home to the scant comfort of a water-soaked mattress. . nd then, of all times, a large and profusely illustrated poem was pasted on each Freshman door and we were hustled out to read the rules and read them with expression, . nother reveille came at five o ' clock and Lower Merion Township was early alive with sleepy Freshmen picking up little 1913 sUps under the guidance of heavj ' -eyed and surly Sophomores. Gin Taylor had done his work well and most of us were late to breakfast — but then, so were the Sojjhs. The historic Peerade occurred after lunch that Thursday. Filled with pie we walked trustingly out into the arms of waiting Sophomores, and were .shortly transformed into supes for a mob scene. It was a warm day. Lockstei)i)ing with one foot on the sidewalk and the other in the gutter is exercise even when done slowly and in moderation. We made the distance from Founders to the station in four minutes and sang How Green I Am all the way. After we had serenaded the Paoli Local the party broke up. We took to our heels and imitated the Radnor Hunt as long as we could. The pie got in its work about that time and most of us yearned for the sweet home scenes. So the year began. Smile, Sookie was a high favorite in the Fre.shman entertainment, though Crocky Kurtz ' s nmscle dance Ijrought him a good share of the applause. Our track prowess was still in the .shell and we were only able to tie the So])homores in the fail meet. A Young Lochinvar had come out of Westtown who began his cinder path career at Haverford by taking a second in the hundred. Joe Tatnall still says: Remember the time I beat Breck ' . ' ' You tell ' em, Jawn! Stim.son and Briles were the first to be selected for individual advice. A series of events occurred among the Merionites that soon increased the list of specials, however. Chief, with unerring accuracy, 39 libated Buck Steere ' s room each morning. Fran exchanged civihties with a teaching fellow of blessed memory, and Jawn was just naturally fresh. Wien asked why his own plight was so much worse than Chief ' s in the incident that followed, Jawn looks wise and says, ' There is a divinity that shapes our ends. ' Chief and Fran were thick-skinned anj ' Avay and we bandaged Jawn so skilfully that he recovered. After Gin and Crocky had handily won the cake-walk, we had the great j leasure of seeing certain greedy Sophomores swallow whole mouthfuls of the much-battered jirize. That was a wonderfully pretty cake — and rich! It was during the period immediately following that Will Webb made his debut among the rounders. We were shocked to hear a graphic description of his devil-may-care nonchalance with a cigarette, a cock- tail and a woman. The class football game was played in a pouring rain. The Sophs had a five and seven to one confidence in their big heavy team. Charlie Hires was out with a bad shoulder and on the whole things were not very bright. Consequently we took a mighty satisfaction in holding them to a 0-0 score and constantly threatening their goal in the last minutes of play. That night we serenaded the rather dis- consolate band of Sojjhs who gathered to bancjuet in South Barclay. There were loud challenges to com- bat from the doughty Wallerstein, but befoi ' e anything really started. Falconer came downstairs and matters were adjusted without blood.shed. In the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas we lost our fear of Sophomoric dumpings and began to horse each other in nightly raids. Charlie ' s artistic abilities were displayed one night when North pounced on South and he painted grinning devils in mahogany japalac on the smooth whiteness of South ' s respective ventral surfaces. A return sortie, the following evening, was murderously repulsed and OUie Porter, kidnapped by the defenders, was bound to Redfield ' s bedstead. On the discovery of this outrage South charged once more. A gallant entry was made through North ' s six lusty door- keepers, and bloody carnage began in Reddle ' s six-by-eleven bed-room. .Jimpson bravely dodged in and out of the edges of the fray, shaking talc powder in the eyes of the warriors from South — that is, he did until Chick took a minute off and applied a well-known remedy. At 12.30, when Ollie had been freed from his bonds, and the bureau, pictures and iron bed lay on the floor in the likeness of long- burning crimp-cut, a cry was heard and we found that Charlie ' s shoulder was out again. The war of the halls ended there and then. Briles, never able to learn wisdom, was seen about college in a marvelouslj ' blue suit and failed to 40 f - k. . i t-i i i ' JA ' i respond to a request that he get a hair-cut. Conse- quently he was spirited away in a f o]3homore auto- mobile and in the woods afar off one-half of his hair was forcibly lifted. He was then abandoned to his fate. Briles beat his way on two trolleys and obtained a gift of a quarter from the con- ductor of another, told his plaintive tale to a barber and got his hair-cut com- pleted free, dined on the quarter, beat his way out to college on the Pennsy, and turned up smiling, just a the Soi)hs got in. The night before the Christmas holidays we won the gym meet, and placed over 1912 in the round-up. As a fitting climax we dragged great stoic ul hands fnim behind an Ardmore grocery, and these with plenty of fence-rails, tar and i cr()sene made a blaze that i)ut the Conshohocken blast furnaces to shame. Jimp and Wilder were unable to attend this ceremony and as a consequence they were made to resemble the tattooed gentlemen of Somaliland. Most of us succeeded in steering the treacherous passage of midyears and turned again to the major pursuits of college life. Louis Fallon, deviled beyond endurance, bolted his door. A violent entrance was effected and for the rest of the year the two lower panels of that door hung by their eyelids, the 41 c2: W habitual butt of Ollie ' s ragings on days when he got no mail. In North Barclay things went on much the same. The Board of Health condemned certain nether apparel, and Wilder was forced to plunge right in, to save his from a watery grave. Most of the glamour of the hall rests about his lank figure. The historic letter from a lady, the artistic triumph in pastels that appeared on his bed-room wall, and his unparalleled rendition of My Son Joshua all tended to make his name immortal. Under his successful guidance the banquet came off in March. Weber ' s speech on Broad-mindedness was a big hit, though it did not arouse ciuite as much enthusiasm as Gin Taylor ' s Straight and Narrow Path. Later in the spring the room that had been the happy home of Longstreth and Gifford for six months, degenerated into a vice district. It was a very mild vice district compared with Townie Lycett ' s room in South, but it was vicious enough to draw down upon it the wrath of a band of Merion reformers. Hinshaw connived with Chief toward the undoing of the devotees of the national indoor sport. A large Irish person in a blue uniform entered the hall one night and stood behind Eddie Brinton ' s chair unsmil- ing. Eddie saw blank horror on the faces of his mates, but without flinching he raised five. Half way to Ardmore the humor of the situation overcame the majesty of the law, and Gin and Eddie returned, shamefaced, to waiting Merion. The Big Match took a trip to Baltimore in spring vacation, and in the chorus were Fran and OUie and Norris and McConnell and Johnny Watson, while Charlie Hires went along as electrician. Jerry Morgan received them with open arms and showed them the sights of the city. Ollie lost his heart for the hundredth time, and resolved to stay in Baltimore, but on seeing another pretty girl in the station he changed his mind and followed her back to Philadelphia. As the long spring days came on we began to realize what it meant to be Haverfordians. Some of us, still unregenerate, played catch or chose up in the approved prep, school fashion. Others donned flannels and swung the willow bat on Cope Field. Breck Thomas divided his time between scaring the wits out of upper-class batsmen and flying down the stretch in the 220 — flying is literal, Breck runs with his arms. Billy McConnell was the surprise of the track season, winning the hundred in record time. We ran the Seniors a close second in the inter-class meet. Fran had not yet come to his own and carried away only one first. The nights were warm and full moons were plentiful that spring. At about 8 p. m. a mighty unrest would come upon the Freshman class. AVe explored the dark hedge-bordered avenues of the neighboring towns, and came strolling home by twos and threes, singing under the midnight stars. In 42 Merion and South there were individual wanderers a-iilenty, but in North alone was the practice carried to its highest form. There were scheduled nights, and a charted itinerary, and woe to the settlement on which they descended. Even Woodside Park had to cry for mercy. Finals came. On the night before the Solid exam, we slaved till 1 1 i ' . m. and then our spirits revolted as one, and we ran and yelled and dumped beds for an hour. In Founders, Billy Richards made a heroic attempt to sav e the supposedly intoxicated (Jin from drinking the varnish. For reward his entire bed- room was moved down to the dining-room entrance and arranged cosily, even to the Trust in Him card over the bureau. Soon arrived the new hats, all spotless white. When we had tucked them happily in our trunks and turned away the wrath of a distracted hat committee with sweet promises, we gave a contented sigh and departed to our various vines and fig-trees. 43 WE strode haughtily up the walk from the Conklin gate, deposited our luggage at the foot of the stairs and sought out Freshmen to carry it up for us. As soon as we had properly aired our new dignity by walking across the campus in a derby hat we exchanged the derby for that vision of snowy splendor which had broken so many girls ' hearts at the shore all summer, and hasted to look up the boys. They were pretty hard to find. Wilder, Darhngton, Gin and Crocky no longer decorated the corridors of North Barclay. Woozy Wood, John Watson and Ross no longer boarded at Merion. Peaslee, who had been very sick and gone home to New Hampshire during Freshman year, had decided to remain among his ancestral rocks. Redfield was chasing bugs in Harvard Yard; Stinson was being chased on the campus at Princeton; Billy McConnell had removed to Dartmouth; and Fallon, returned from Labrador, was allowing his rays to shine on the University of Pennsylvania. Weber came back to us 44 niE CLASS Ii SUI ' lIOMURE VliAK for a few days, but his doctor decided he was still physically too immature for college life and he went west to labor among evil men in a steel works. In all, we had lost fifteen men by the end of Freshman year. The scant thirty who remained, how- ever, were men of spirit, and under the leadership of Fran and Church, we started in to give the big entering class their first lessons in behavior. This we began by discovering a long-limbed, cabbage- headed youth in Louis Fallon ' s old room and promptly dumping him end-over-end in the old approved style. It was announced that Ich Bowerman had a brother in the class, and we adjourned to Merion to interview him. Nearby, we found one of the young of the Downings. Although common, they are always interesting, and we were rejoiced at our catch. This one was no disappointment. Next day we got ourselves in readiness for the events to come, divided the class into patrols, and looked to the priming of our flash-lights. We won the cane-rush that afternoon in our usual form, and captured a fair proportion of the Freshmen. After supper our patrol system began to work, and the prisoners were brought in by ones and twos to join the crowd in South Barclay. At this point trouble started for the ten guards who were stationed there. Certain rascally Juniors, abetted by Hinshaw, smirkingly slipped through the lines and instilled insurrection in the cowed hearts of the Rhinies. A rush was made for the stairs and during the fight that followed, numerous Freshmen got out by way of the fire escape. Reserves were called in from the campus Patrol and most of the fugitives were hustled back. A furious struggle occurred when Beebe and Durgin attempted to smuggle out one Feinstein. The poor casus belli was pulled in two and walked on much to the detriment of his clothes and valuables. By midnight the rescue parties had retreated and we horsed our wretched captives in fine style as long as our voices lasted, then rushed them off to their mattresses. At sunrise we were out and had the Freshmen on the road picking paper slips from gutter and hedge. Meeting passed slowly that morning. As soon as the suit of Uncle Allen for the hand of Rufus had been rendered successful we scrambled from our benches and marshalled the Fresh as they came out. Their attire was altered to fit the occasion, Seckel was given a gown, a sunbonnet and a broom, and put at the head of the line, and with a whoop the Pee-rade started. By the time we reached Lancaster Pike the repeated rushes of Hinshaw and the Juniors had demoralized things, but a little band of Rhinies were still lock-stepping when we got ready to turn them loose. The Freshman entertainment was voted a wonder. Dick Schoepperle ' s can-can was superior to Crocky ' s lithest efforts. Church, inspired by hatred for the News Organ, lettered a sign of unflattering 46 CLASS FOOTBALL TKAXL SOPHc i. |( iRF, VHAR import and at its entrance, l orne aloft by the Freshmen, the crowd went into ecstasies. The glad hand was immediately extended to Church, and, pacified, he was delivering Weaklies within a fortniglit. So the fall days passed. We were well represented on the gridiron. The story of the great Lehigh game and the part played in it by Ollie and Chief, we will leave to another pen. At the end of the season came the inter-class game. On Senior mantels there are still a few black old corncob pipes, bearing the inscription 17-0. They bring back pleasant memories of the game and of the celebration that followed. A bit later, the second annual round-up and gym-meet took place. Waples had entered college and we gracefully surrendered gymnasium laurels to him. Church had arranged a little burlesque on The Big Match of the year before. After the fight, Sook, covered with burnt cork and glory, was receiving the adulations of the mob, while Fran, in female garb, looked at him coyly from beneath his hat-brim and twittered : You can call me Evelyn. When Sook smiled and replied in honeyed accents, And you can call me Hazard! — the success of the playlet was assured. If any further comedy touch had been required. Chief ' s impersonation of the Doctor would have supphed it. Events were few and far between until after Mid-years. About February 17th, the tide of affairs began to move more swiftly and we were kept quite busy for a while, getting ashore. Be it known then, that the 17th was the night of the Inter-scholastic meet. We went into the dining-room after the school- boys had left and found a most peculiar arrangement of tables. They were set end to end around four sides of a rectangle, and the whole air of the room was thereby changed to one of easy unconventionality. And so, when a jovial Junior, on the far side of the stockade, tossed a warm baked potato in our direction, we felt no compunction whatever in returning it — with companion potatoes. The game was pleasmg. We gathered armfuls of ammunition, crouched behind our bulwarks and shelled the enemy, as long as the potatoes lasted. It is still a matter of pride with one participant, that he hit Wallerstein in the eye. The consequences of that supper were undesirable, but at any rate we can say with Gloucester, that there was good sport at their making. A solenm tribunal convened on Monday and having taken the evi- dence, banned eleven of us from the sacred rites of the dining-room for one week — twenty-one meals. There were seven Sophomores who underwent thi s vast disgrace. Time has softened and made roseate the memory of that week and if to some fond parents it is a new tale, let them restrain their wrath and laugh — with us who suffered. Tuesday morning breakfast was our last meal in society. Each of us smuggled out what ever he thought would be needful in the way of butter, rolls, sugar and utensils. It later developed that we had 48 CI.A.S. TKAl, K IICAM, M ilM |i iM( iKI ' ; i;. l twenty-two spoons and one knife. However we were in joyful mood, and cared not. We ate our rolls and promised ourselves a royal supper. That afternoon we got together in Breck ' s room — all of us except Will Webb — and planned a course of action. Jess and Steve accepted the job of market-boys. Breck and Fred Stieff chose to be cooks, Coy Young was elected milkman, and Jawn, who lived in Merion and was undependable, nevertheless agreed to be a general errand-boy. There was one job left. We wrote ourselves out little paper slips with the names of our respective duties, then wrote dish-washer on seven pieces of paper, put them in a hat, and sat with guilty looks waiting for Will Webb. At his entrance the hat was passed. Fate was pretty nearly unanimous in its choice of a dish-washer, that time. Well, the market-boys went to Ardmore and got some delicious canned beans and Campbell ' s soup (that is the way we described it to the college at large) and we decided that it wasn ' t so bad after all. Coy brought the milk in time for breakfast that first morning and we were hilarious over the success of Breck ' s coffee. A handful of cold beans and a dry roll at noon damped our ardor a little, and the rarebit that Fred Stieff attempted for supper, threw over the party a cloud of deepest gloom. Follows a page from Steve ' s diary: Thursday: Cold, wet. Breakfast — milk; lunch — bread, canned meat; supper — Dirigo Caf6, Ard- more (great). Friday; Cold, very wet. Coy did not get up. Breakfast — corn-flakes (dry) ; lunch — bread, canned meat; supper — Ardmore Oyster-house (12 large fried). Saturday: Fair. Breakfast — tooth-paste; lunch — canned meat (!!) In P. M. Jess and I got fresh supply of canned meat — 3 cans. It is filling. Supper — Ardmore Tea-room. Sunday: Fair. All went to call on relatives. Monday: No breakfast; lunch — canned meat; supper — pancakes and jelly (Breck ' s). Time is not up. Tuesday: Breakfast — corn-flakes, milk, bread, pancakes, preserves, coffee (a lot of boys came up to see us eat). Lunch — In Dining Room!! A little later in the week we held funeral obsequies over the last can of meat. It was interred without an inscription. Someone suggested the simple words: Fido, died accidentally at Gettysburg, 1863, but Breck wanted to name it Fanny and we couldn ' t agree on the date. It was quite dead and that was enough. And now upon the scene came Ezra Maxfield, late of Harvard, little and all tired out but full of grit, so to use his own words. It was not for pleasure but through a sense of duty that we sat at Fred ' s piano and played the Banana Peel after the manner of fire-horses — three abreast The next night certain fertile minds dex-ised new tortures, including one deadly combination of a bowling-ball, a sixteen-pound shot, and a trash-barrel. On Thursday forty-two men answered the roll-call in English V, normally limited to twelve members. The man grew frantic and issued a general defiance. Sophomore English accepted with delight. Let us be euphemistic and say that the deportment of the class was not exemplary. The margin by which he escaped the second egg has been reduced, by much telling, to one quarter of an inch. We hasten to state that it was much larger. For about six hours we were covered with glory. There were only two people who felt ashamed. They had a right to, after missing a shot like that. There was a great changing of views during the next few days, however, and the manners of Maxfield ' s classes became fairly Chesterfieldian. Much has been pardoned him as our wisdom has increased. We are sure he came of good stawk. It was about this time that Jawn went to see the Pink Lady. Next day he developed pink-eye. We blush to mention it for Joe Tatnall has made it one of his three jokes ever since. Chiefie barely missed getting his eye entirely put out while strolhng on Race Street one evening soon after. The operetta went ofT with eclat, with a fair proportion of Sophomores in the cast. Signs of spring began to appear. There was a dreamy lassitude in the air. Books were banished. On warm nights there was sometimes seen a figure running faun-like adown the grassy lawns beneath the moon. At the sight of that gleaming shape ' tis said that automobiles paused and turned their lamps away in shocked surprise. We won the inter-class track meet from the Seniors and Breck was elected captain for the next year. Cricket was flourishing meanwhile. We had now become so intiniale with the great game that we used the vernacular without the quiver of an eyelash. We could tear off a little line about overs, cover- points and 1. b. w. ' s as nonchalantly as if we kept them in the coal-bin back home. Most of us remained to lie in the shade and gorge ourselves on the good eats of Commencement Week. Then we left Haverford with a strange, new realization that behind us lay half of this wonderful four years. 51 ■ ' ' 9 r: -« -- v ■Sal - ' ' i - ' ' IP -■ ' i H ■ TC 1 1 f ' j i M ii f   - ' IH B 2r n| .y ' H ' w ' j ViiimirMir i THE CLASS IN JUNIOR YEAR JUNIOR YEAR WE of Niiieteen-Thirteen have always liked each other. A few must always leave in the first year of apprenticeship; but of all those who gave our life a second trial we found only three missijig in the roll-call for Junior year. Fretldie decided to sell pianos. Even had he not visited us occasionally, most of the clas.s would have carried away a lasting impression of his evening departures across the campus. Freddie ' s overcoat reached from his ears to the soles of his feet so that it trailed over the grass behind him. Crowning this overcoat was visible only the stovepipe section of a high silk hat, leaving the untutored observer in a state of complete puzzlement as to the identity of the occupant. Lish Kirk was our very serious and more mature member: a self-made man in the embryo. With his background of early-formed principles and ideals he smilingly tolerated our formative dreams. But his smile was an interested smile and before he was called away from us he had grown into our bond and we were sorry to lose him. Some of us were foregathered on a drizzly morning at the Haverford station and witnessed the farewell between Richards (the last of the three) and Weber. This picture 5 of Billy will always last. In the future we shall like to think of him riding through the .South of France on a dilapidated bicycle, dressed in grey trousers and brown coat, with a philosophy book in either pocket and the universe before him. Two of our number caused us some worry by decamping for the Summer in a cattle boat — Bill and Sook. But they, too, were on hand in September, with wild and wonderful stories to tell. Among these stories we were impressed by Bill ' s midnight flight across a bridge since known as the Teufelsbriicke. The girl had mentioned Vater which, with :i few equally portentous words, consti- tuted Bill ' s significant German vocabu- lary. Whatever our summer occupation, we all returned with that new sensation Allan of Nineteen-eleven so often described to us as being an upper classman. Half interested, half sympathetic, — we found ourselves greatly relieved, when for the first time we watched the cane-rush. The Junior door was ours. ' e discovered that our share of run- ning things was greater than we had anticipated. In the Student Council we were well represented. Norrie spoke patriarchally of the perfidy of youth, and often we had to wait some moments for his remarks to percolate into the minds of our coadjutors. In spite of Ollie Porter ' s inabihty to play, we were well represented on the football team. It was during this year that Chiefie played so well and with such good spirit that we chose him to captain the team for our Senior year. The Fresh-Soph game was over at last and we began to settle down and take stock of ourselves. Strange things had happened! Owing to the untiring efforts of Merlon ' s far-famed Parisian model, a pianola was finally installed in the second floor of the Annex. Thereafter it became an indispensable 54 factor in our lives, and all through the year spread a feeling of pleasure and companionship — not only to ourselves but to our visitors. But (greatest event of all!) our North Barclay members became suddenly infused with a determina- tion to work. Bill Hare was seen on the campus with no less than three books under each arm. For the first time some of our members spent hours at a time in the Library. This movement affected even Chick Crosman. Over in South, Ed Maule decided to do a little more than ■get by. ' ' The question of the original incentive has been variously answered. No one blames the Faculty. Our wise brothers carefuUv selected courses such as Biol. Vni and IX; Ec. I to VIII, etc. In this election of courses we cannot accuse them of seeking inspiration. The results, however, were satisfying and in the course of this novel departure we point with pride to the evolution of OUie. Ollie the arrogant. Ollie the noisy, roomed with our good-natured member and drew into his .shell with one magic expres- sion: 4 ' B K. With far greater serious- ness than the rest Ollie followed his plan to work and slowly but surely became one of our first students. E -en now us these pages are read, we who have known him for four years hope that he clasps the sainted key. Perhaps as a relief from the monotony of a siege of work, jierhaiis because the Merionites had found music useful both as an antidote and an attraction, about this time North Barclay decided to acquire a Yictrola. Words and expressions such as culture and appreciation for good nuisic were whis- pered about, and we were all in susix-nse until the expected machine arrived. It was not to be hoped that the new instrument .should po.sse.ss intrin.sically the i)roperty of perpetual movement. But we all came quickly to the conclusion that .so long as North Barclay was alive to the world, so long might be heard 55 afar the strains of That lovin ' Coon, The Oceana Roll, ' and many other lively bits selected with equal discretion and taste. As a novelty, it paid. Whether due to indisposition from overwork, or to a sympathy existing between the worn voice and its present environment, this Victrola rests at present in the Infirmary. ' Nor were any of us idle. A few days before our longed-for Christmas holidays several familiar figures were seen to stroll quietly from the campus in the direction of Darby. As a result of this pilgrim- age there appeared later two tre- mendous demijohns of cider. The night before we left for home served as an appropriate occasion to make use of these demijohns. To this day some of the details of the meeting are wanting. After sup- per Coy, Steve, Breck, Jesse and Freddie foregathered amid cush- ions, cider and smoke. The con- tinual rendering of Turkey in the Straw by the ensemble with oc- casional representations by Freddie gave color to the curtain scene. Among the visitors Carp took a most active part. It is even openly claimed that he had six before the rest started. As the transfer of the contents of the demijohns continued the room became too narrow. In the hall Steve and Breck, closely followed by Coy, executed what they assured the rest was a schottische. It came to light afterwards that Carp, who was at that time leading an imaginary orchestra with his banjo, believed himself to be playing appropriate music. The final undoing of Steve came about through the fumes of a long clay pipe. It is said that he dashed to the fire-escape for fresh air. Shortly before the lights died away there came a temporary spirit of remorse and each endeavored to show his innocence b y walking carefully down the hall upon a crack. Long after the lights were out, Freddie, apparently uncertain 56 whether to go to bed or not, entered Jay Price ' s room where a candle still flickered, remarking absently, Pardon me Gentlemans, — pardon me from entering. But there comes a time when we must draw the veil. After all, we are detailing the misdemeanor.? of otherwise impeccable characters. The long stretch of the third quarter passed more quickly than usual for us. Many hours we spent in educating ourselves as proper hosts for the college and our friends. Under the able leadership of Hall, committees of al ' sorts soon hatl the work under way. Charlie Hires showed us numerous artistic and magical drawings of the gym in prospect. Nor did his work and that of his fellow artists, Steve and Artie, fail to bring remarkable results. A few afternoons before the big daj ' Barclay and Lloyd were d vested of all their useful ornaments, while even di.stant Merion offered up wagon loads of cushions, couches and rugs. When at length the final effect was reached several members of Nineteen-Twelve were heard to remark generously and perhajjs truly that our gym was the best ever. Outside, under Chief ' s masterful direction, the campus had become softly brilliant with .Japanese lanterns and lanes of radiant electric lights It is one of Chief ' s greatest boasts that the expenses of his committee totaled thirty- four cents. The results justified our expectation. As for the evening, we shall never forget the magic spell in which it held us. It was our music, and our gay white way, and they were all our friends. Indeed, on that night we had no enemies. All work and worry were over, and we drifted through the evening in a state of contentment and satisfaction, — only sorry when the last train load of guests had gone. The morning after we prefer to keep as a memory rather than a reality. We developed into a com- plete and highly organised moving company. We were in turn dismantlers and horses. The fact that we hurried has given rise to only one difficulty. Ever since that cloudy morning our presidents have been wearily appointing committees to investigate the Lost Cushion (juestion. The rest of the year wc gave to the Seniors, for it was their time and we felt justified in resting. Some of us perhaps carried this theory to excess. Bill Hare gave voice to the most extreme sentiment in .raying: I don ' t like this darn prep-school method of making you work! Shortly afterwards Bill and Stacc discovered simultaneous indispo.sitions and for a week were neither seen nor heard of. A lavish display of early Easter lilies in Red ' s window, however, betrayed the whereabouts of their tem- porary haven. As a Junior class we have nothing further to boast of. Maule, Crowder and Fansler formed a triangle This is nol a propi.T name. S7 of pinochle fiends, — playing fabulous series of games for imaginary theatre seats. Breclc and a coterie from Center and South made several notable trips to Woodside. Joe Beatty acquired the rare honor of a B K key in Junior year. Phil, Norrie, and Fred delighted Spitzie ' s heart and helped make the French play a success. Aside from these glimpses we can only say that June saw us safely through. Most of us stayed to watch Nineteen-Twelve take their departure — and we learned that the sorrow of a Senior is not a fable. WEDNESDAY .NIGHT— CHICKEN FOR SUPPER 58 M ' enioryeexT ' OST of us reached College along about September 23d. As we turned around Barclay and met a tall and imposing youth with upturned mousatche, the flaxen beauty of which betrayed a summer ' s careful nurture, we realized with a shock the dignity Seniors should wear. It (the hirsute adornment) came off the night before the Delaware game, and his taUsman gone, Chief was laid to rest in the Infirmary for the remainder of the season. But we are getting ahead of our story — to go back to September 23d. By consulting Tat ' s chart on the bulletin board of Roberts we found we were eight stronger than when with a total of twenty-six we parted in June. First, alpha- betically, so there won ' t be any hard feeling, there was Brown, the quarter- niiler from EarUiam; then Gregory, the philosophically inclined married man from Ohio, and Hadlej ' of the sounding ba.ss, destined to shine upon the stage of Coopertown. Menden- hall stopped in to spend a year with us on the way to Mexico. The East and the West were one when California Pickett roomed with the orator Woosley from South — no, from North Carolina. The last two, but not the lea.st of our new members, were representatives of the celebrated Winslows of Baltimore. Windj breezed in from . nnapohs with a string of cotillion cards to remind him of St. Johns. Edwards F., having decided to take his Senior year with us instead of 1905, first met our view seated on a bicycle with a green bag on one handle-bar and a boy on the other. Like Gregory he is a married man but unhke Gregory he has a drug store at Rosemont. We put off wearing gowns as long as possible, even venturing to meeting without them — all except Francis and Bill Hare — whereupon our attention wa.s called to the fact that, Seniors will wear gowns to Fifth Daj ' Meeting . . . etc. So, accepting the ine ' itable, we arra ' ed ourselves in black — but 59 of course they were convenient, like the Rhinies ' caps, for distinction, and in time they came even in the eyes of the wearers to add a finishing touch to the campus. The football season began with a victory. It was not the only one, although there was only one more. As we said, Chief got out the first game. After a suital)le period of mourning Francis was elected captain. There was a good representation of Seniors on the squad all season, and the rivalry between Giff ' s Third, and Ollie ' s Fourth teams excited almost more daily interest than did the ' arsity. About the middle of the season OIlie got parental permission to go in the game and from then on he was the life of the team. We did not win the Woggleb ug championship, but after the game was over and the victorious Sophs had placed their banner over the south win- dow of tlie dining room, no one is likely to forget how a half-dozen Seniors held the steps or how Lud at a critical moment stuck his foot through the window and dragged the obnoxious Wogglebug to destruction. And if you had been in the Weekly office that night, you would have seen Chief, stung with remorse, writing an editorial advising the Seniors henceforth to maintain the dignit J ' befitting their position in the College. And henceforth we did. The most interesting event of the season was Charlie Hires ' death. On a certain November morning the new.spapers from the Atlantic to the Pacific announced that the only tleath due to football was that of Charlie Hires, who had died of injuries received in the Lehigh game. When Charlie read the headlines, he wigg led his fingers to see whether they were stiff, and then began opening letters of condolence and answering fair dames (and Jimmie) who inquired anx- 60 iously whether he was really dead, ing statement: The next day the newsjiapers made everything right by the reassur- HiREs ' Death Not Due to Football. Under the able leadership of .John, Woodrow Wilson was elected President. The most memorable event of the campaign, aside from the straw vote, was the three-cornered debate in which John and Tar Heels carried off the honors with Monty and Offie close seconds, and the two Bills, who had to argue against their principles, bringing up the rear with Taft. . half dozen of us cast our first Presidential votes and split even on Wilson and T. R. The football season drew to its close. Thanksgiving came and went and nothing seemed to break the monotonous humdrum of col- lege routine. Then one nKjrning on the bottom of one of the periodical announcements of Haverfordian feeds was scrawled a supplementary notice that Joe Beatty would supply tickets for The Midnight Maidens at the Cas. The college gasped and held its breath. It was whispered among the Fac- ulty, and there is a suspicion that Doctor BoUcs applied for two tick- ets. . nd no one floubted that In obtain the agency Joe nuist have been to the Cas himself. The matter was hushed up, however. Shortly before Christmas, to the further amazement of the col- lege world, Chief Ijccanic a man: to celebrate the event lie IkhI a 61 flMJraJ IKbM «. ' l ' ' . %h % M ._ ,.  ll 1 TS - 1 1 L 1. . birthday spread which began at nine and ended at hghts. As a break in the festivities we had our picture taken. Somehow the flashhght didn ' t work at first and when it did — well, look at the picture and you will understand. Just a little later, Francis announced his engagement. No one was surprised, not even Francis himself. After Christmas Lud too left his boyhood behind, and from his frequent visits to New York and anxious anticipation of the postman ' s step, the class decided that his birthday celebration should be in the nature of a house-furnishing shower. It proved very practical and en- tirely satisfactory to Lud and the givers themselves. Soccer went on as usual after Christmas under the careful direction of the Weekhj, assisted by the Grounds Committee. Giff proposed that twelve H ' s be given for Soccer, but though he was backed by the captain, the college thought it was being fooled and said, No; and presently with tears in his voice, Giff wrote his last editorial, and hung his portrait beside those of the donkey and the other three Immortals who had gone before him from the editorship of the Weekly. Lud spent two days in New York. Joe left The Havcrfordian, but not with tears, nay, with measles! It was a month too soon at that. Steve took his last fling at erring editors and cast the Exchanges to the winds. And Norm, dear old Norm, after leading the dog ' s life of a college Alumni Editor, was patient to the end — but then his joy was great! Herbie, too, after a year of wrestling with Coopertown, Preston, and the college itself, gave it up as a bad job, and turned the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. over to 1914. So one by one we became back numbers in ofhce if not in heart, all except Monty, who won the Cope. After Mid- Years under Tat ' s leadership and with Monty holding the purse-strings, we felt financially unconcerned. We had reckoned, however, without the Record, and soon anxious-eyed members of 1913 began to haunt the long-suffering advertiser. Norrie ' s anguished wail for copy rose on the midnight air, and Steve could be seen soaking himself in the Spirit of the Past (brewed in the stack-room from back numbers of the Weekly). One night about two o ' clock we were awakened by loud cries of Fire, and rushed out in nondescript 62 garb to aid Howson, ' 15, and his gallant band of firemen in their heroic effort to save Whitall Hall for Sook. One of the most dramatic incidents occurred when, discouraged by the lack of water, the burly chief of the Fire Company inciuired if there were any College officer present. President Sharpless came forward and with his wonted calm said, 7 am here. The chief seemed at a loss for a moment; then exclaimed, •Well, why the h— 1 don ' t you have a better water supply ? Lud missed the fire; he was dreaming of New York. Bill Hare, of course, refused to get up. The leaves are out ami with Junior Day and Spring vacation over and Senior Theses due, we begin to feel that our college days are almost done — all but the blare of trumpets and the glitter of Phi Beta Kappas and the memory of it all. Another year will see us widely scattered, Plight will study at Harvard, one at Yale, one at Princeton, one at Cornell and one at Penn. Four of u.s will remain at Haverford to keep the place from going utterly to the dogs, as every Senior cla; thinly over the map from (ionic to Chihuahua One thing is sure THE NEW MKXUK I ' llil.ri ss feels it surely must. The rest will spread themselves Perhaps we may never all be reunited,- who knows? WTierever one of us pitches his tent, there will be a hearty welcome and a warm spot by the fire for all who come in the name of Haverford. 63 THE WEEKLY BOARD THE HAVlJRI ' ORIJlAiN lioAKlJ % )t Hab rfortimn As a class, we of 1913 have not contributed to The Havcrfordian any special characteristics which are likely permanently to improve or harm if. Under the able leadership of Joe Beatty, the first man to hold for two years the position of editor -in-chief, the magazine has taken on an orderly form and, within the limits of available material, has tried to keep the standard as literary as possible. Verse has perhaps been our forte. Our first contribution in Freshman year, the Symbol of Sanctity, by Stieff, aroused considerable interest among other aspirants to cryptic expression. It served prin- cipally as a curtain raiser to a lyric outburst by Joe which exceeded in quantity any subsequent crop we have produced (lasting until he became editor-in-chief the next spring) and which contained, moreover, some of our chefs d ' auvre. After delighting and surprising us with sunrise dreams. Lake George nymphs and skating songs he took to drawing morals in blank verse and soon disappeared from any but the editorial page. During this period Joe also proved our most prolific prose writer. So exclusively did The Havcrfordian publish his work that this literary grand inonarque might very well have said, U Havcrfordian, c ' est moi. But the setting of this morning star caused the planets Meader and Taylor to come more clearly into view. There have been occasional flashes of verse from Froelicher, and tales of love from Gifford which allow us to relax a moment and, following his directions, kiss Dorothy first shot, or pitch pennies to win the lovely Leonora. Norm ' s masterpiece — aside from the Alumni Notes — is in an epic strain, beginning: Soul ' s Beauty — Body ' s Beauty: which of you Shall Adam choose, who never has been true To either, nor can cease to love you both? His eyes met those that were so angel fair. Deep as the sea, blue as the violet. Lililh ' s white arms, encircling, were forgot For eyes nor Earth nor Heaven can forget. Eve ' s soulful eyes. 66 Besides this, he made canoe trips on the Thames and little voyages into Poets ' No Man ' s Land, and there too turned to the abstract — La Syjnpaihie Who in this world of selfish ends Could bear new lands to see, To face new problems tritst new friends, If it were not for thee? But Steve with his Exchanges, verse, and prose has perhaps held the center of the stage most firmly. His Maine Winter was the delight of initiated and uninitiated alike. Into his Exchanges, in addition to the usual ' slams at various magazines unnamed forever here, he would introduce for the benefit of his fellow undergraduates the local color of a Puritanical editor-in-chief, green-eyed in his sanctum, or perhaps of a cider mill over at Darby. As he would say, ' We quote the following from the verse of the month; Pauline see her as she used to be, A little girl xcho played with tne, With laughing eyes and curly locks, Climbing on the kdpy rocks, Running on the wave-wet beach. Dancing just beyond my reach, A brown-eyed fairy-child wan sfie — Pauline. She ' s taller now, and quite demure; She never races, I am sure. Her brown bare feet she never shows When down upon the beach she goes. But still she leads me as of yore; Ever her sweet laugh rings before, And still I follow, down the shore — Pauline. 67 Ah, Stephen, you know the saying, Journeys end and we wish you joy. The most consistent effort of Joe ' s editorials has been his stand against hazing, in which his ideals are rapidly being reahzed. A spirited discussion among the alumni on Graduate Interest in Under- graduate Life made The Haverfordian the temporary center of almost unprecedented interest. We feel a reticence toward praising ourselves further to an audience which, having read The Haver- fordian itself, cannot be taken in. If any Chatterton still lurks among our number, let him come forth and show himself. Four years is long enough to blush unseen. THE TENNIS TEAM 68 THE MUSICAL CUli; 1913 Francis M.

Leland Cap ant iSells FOLLOWING as we do in the footsteps of so exceptional a class as 1912, a careless observer might think that our own contributions to Haverford ' s musical and dramatic activities had been negligible. But even though as a class we have been more occupied with other parts of the collegiate ' ' side-show, we have done our share in these as well. In Freshman year Porter, Froelicher, Hall, McConnell and Beanie Watson took part in The Big Match, and Charlie Hires, under the able tutelage of Edwards, gathered valuable experience as artist- scene-shifter-baggagemaster for the troupe. Bill Crowder ' s duty was to ring Founders bell (a piece of drain pipe struck with a hammer), and, strange to say, he was usually in time with the music. Artie, safely ensconced behind the scenes where no sudden glimpse of him could affright the timid in the audience, switched the lights on and off with estimable precision. Charlie was made a Charter Member of the Cap and Bells. Sophomore year, in which the Glee Club was in a state of suspended animation, brought with it The Patient Philosopher, with Olhe in a cast part and Chick as daintily bewitching in the pony ballet as he is in real life. Charlie ' s scenery was exceedingly well-painted and attractive, and the stage effects of all sorts left Uttle to be desired. Crosman and Porter were both elected to the Club. Junior Year began auspiciously with Porter, Crosman, and Taylor on the Mandolin Club (Porter leading), and Froehcher, Porter, Crosman and Hall on the Glee Club. The season was successful in every way, although our reception at Camden seemed somewhat chilling, especially as the lissom Francis that night made his debut in skirts. The female chorus seems to have a remarkable attraction for the Froelicher family. Ollie as Stage Manager held his audience from his first leap on to the altar-stage (over the baptismal font). It was decided not to give a nmsical play, and none of our class took part, although Tatnall so nearly made the leading role that he was elected to the Club for his good work. Froelicher and Hall also made Cap and Bells. This has been a good year, too, in spite of 1912 ' s misgivings. Pressure of other duties caused Ollie to resign the leadership of the Mandolin Club, though he and Coy .still remained its veteran members. The work of the Glee Club, under Fran ' s direction, was of a high order, in spite of the fact that 1912 ' s departure had left many gaps that were hard to fill. Sook, Steve and Joe, after two years of trying, 71 ' THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST stepped manfully into the breach and increased our numbers in the club to seven. Gifford also ran. Sook ' s talent for raising a laugh was evident here as ever vhere, especially on a certain trip to Preston, when audience and performers were alike convulsed, and the proceedings had to be suspended to allow _ i pn fx .

The Hurniony Test at Lehigh was a grand success, and we think we held up our end well, in spite of the unusual ability of our opponents. The Play this year was staged by Mr. Knowlton, and given under Norrie ' s general supervision. Our only regret is that we cannot claim a larger share in its well-deserved success.

There are very few things, however, that we do better than we play football. We began right at the beginning. Ollie, Porter, Charlie Hires and Beanie Watson played in the very first game after we were all in College and conducted themselves like heroes. Charlie Hires has had more hard luck than any other football player in our class. He is so small that the opposing team is all the time overlooking him and so he continually gets hurt. His career as a gridiron warrior was short but brilliant. His untimely demise, early in Senior year, marked him for all time as one of the tragic heroes of the great American game. Beanie himself, though not much bigger than Charlie, never took the trouble to get hurt. In fact he didn ' t give a hang what happened. All testimony to the contrary notwithstanding, he was any- thing but fast. In fact, in one game he recovered a fumble and got a thirty- yard start on every one before the Lehigh team could discover whether it was just Beanie, or Beanie and the ball, or just the ball. After that he got ten yards more. 76 The real achievement of our Freshman year, however, was that game with the Sophomores. Tricked into plaj ' ing without our full strength, we went into a contest against a team which the year before had beaten the class above them. We had little hope of winning but we were pretty certain the Sophs were going to have to work for their victory. We played in weather to which no Chris- tian would expose a dog and most of the time in the dark as well as the rain. Moreover, we played those Sophomores to a standstill. The next Weekly , said, The Freshmen showed unexpected strength, and for once the Weekly ■M- m seems to have been right. W B Sophomore year we continued to distinguish ourselves. Francis played ' through the whole of every game and continued to do so with one exception till the end of our last football season Was it not Chiefie, too, who fell on that ball at Lehigh, — winning the game and furnishing football speakers with something to talk about for years to come? And did not Ollie block the pass and make the run that made Chief ' s play possible? Cox, of Lehigh, in spite of his 210 pounds, was in mortal terror of Chief and was heard to exclaim, Fellows, fellows, J don ' t let Longstreth get me. This must be true, — for Chief admits it. It was this year, too, that we pulverized the Freshmen. At first Ninetecn-fourteen thought they had a chance, but from the time our trick plays got into action thc re was nothing to it. The Freshmen were utterl - amazed and spent the rest of the game vainly trying to discover how it was done. This year, too, marks the fir.st appearance of Captain Crosman and his gallant band of Wogglebugs on the bloody field. They fit and bled to the best of their ability — l)ut, alas, they also died. In Junior year, though Ollie was out of the game, we developed a new star in Breck Thoinas who showed an unexpected ability to slide around the end for thirty yards or more at a shot. One of the greatest events of this 77 season occurred on the train coming home from Bucknell. The train stopped with a jerk and the negro porter fell down. Since this time the members of the team are said to have collected fabulous sums for giving testimony as to what happened. The sad part of it is that the stories of no two members of the team agree. Rome m;iintain that the car rocked sideways; others that is pitched endwise; while at least one individual states that it just hopped up and down. Almost everybody came out for the team in Senior year. Sook Howson for one, to everybody ' s surprise, appeared in a suit and a smile and covered himself with glory. Tat and Nick the heavenly twins, appeared side by side and each won an H. We had the rather pecu- liar distinction of having two captains in our class. Chief, who originally pos- sessed the honor unfortunately lost most of his vital organs in the first game, so after a brief interregnum, during which Tat filled the office, Pete Froelicher was chosen to lead the team. The Wog- glebugs made one more attempt to win the championship but lost by a single goal. Seven of our classmates were regular vansity men during the year and several others of us labored on the scrub. SENIORS ON THE SQUAD 78 THE SOCCER TEAM SOCCER I F any class ever deserved an improvement prize in any branch of athletics, we do in soccer. In Freshman year we had only one man who was even near to var- sity material, and now look at us! But we anticipate. That first autumn we went forth to meet the Sopho- mores with grim foreboding in our hearts. Most of us had never seen a soccer ball and some of us had never even heard of the game. It was the irony of fate that the first goal was shot by our future member, Eddie Maule. Anyhow we lost, 3-0. Tatnall had so distinguished himself on the cinder path that he decided to try soccer. The first kick, however, resulted in depriving him of the use of one leg for several weeks, so he gave up in disgust. In Sophomore year we were again good losers, and in Junior year we almost won a game. Our achievements in Woggle- bug, on the other hand, have never been surpassed. We are the undisputed champions of the College and have been so throughout our four years here. In Freshman year we won the championship by an over- whelming score, — Ross shooting the first goal from within his own penalty area. Charlie Hires was the star of the game, — or at least so he says. But in Sophomore year our victorious struggle for the championship is worthy to go down in hi.story. In spite of the fact that the officiating was the worst ever seen on a soccer field, and that the second half was 55 minutes over-time, we won by a one to nothing score. Throughout the entire contest we had fourteen men on our team and the Juniors never suspected that anything was wrong. In Junior year there was no game and in Senior year we again won easily. Jack Keough played. 80 The proudest achievement of our soccer career was our series with the Juniors in Senior year. By that time Breck was captain of the Varsity and Chief, Tat and Coy were all regulars. Norrie played well in the Princeton game and Ollie distinguished himself against Cornell. We were well repre.sented on the second team by John, and on the Grounds Committee by the Weekly. We lost our first game to the Juniors, but as the Freshmen beat them, the series resulted in a tie. For two hard over-time games we held them, and at last, at 6.15 one night, they got a close shot, and Tatnall was charged through with the ball in his arms. This year the College stood second in the Intercollegiate League. 81 THE GYMNASIUM TEAM fy{ (C BSit I rnriASiun I N Gymnasium we distinguished ourselves in Freshman year above all others. Freddie Stieff issued a stirring call to arms and promised all candidates that they would make the team. OUie Porter responded to the call and Fred and Olhe between them easily won the Interclass. It was Chick Crosman who invented the idea of doing a handstand and back-lever on the side-horse and was so success- ful that he had it patented. He is the only living gynuiast known to perform this feat. Later Sook achieved fame when he appeared in the meet with Amherst. He was greeted with wild applause, did one handstand and retired to rest on his gymnastic laurels, winning a second. Would that our class possessed a Gibbon to write of the decline and fall of Gym in our midst. In Sophomore year the Freshmen imported a phenomenon from the School who won everj-thing all by him-self. Then we lost Freddie, who was the back-bone of the team on heavy apparatus and finally even Ollie gave it up as a bad job. In spite of this we were not out of the running, for by Junior year we had developed three new g Tnnasts in Gifford, Baker and Goddard. No one who saw the exhibition at Che.ster will ever forget the sight of . rtie on the filing rings. After losing one ring he swung back and forth ' twixt earth and heaven, writhing like a worm on a hook, and making frantic grabs at the other which danced tantalizingly a few inches beyond his reach. But even Artie learned in time, and Baker became one of the . 83 standbys of the team. la Senior year Gifford was captain of the Varsity and the team did fairly well, defeating Columbia and making a brilliant showing against Penn. In this year, too, our class team of Gifford, Thomas, Montgomery and Baker, won the cup given for the special drill which had replaced the defunct Round-up. 84 THE TRACK TF.AM J«l RACK T is hard to think of the class of 1913 ever beaten in a track meet, and in the light of our experience, it seems dis- graceful that we let 1912 tie us in Freshman year. The meet was as full of surprises as Mon- day lunch is not. How Tatnall won the hundred and two-twenty has been recounted elsewhere. Breck now holds the college record in both these events. The high-jump was won by Red Beebe at 4 ft. 9 in., and we had Froehcher, Porter and Nicholson in our mid.st! Fran won the shot, of course, but, strange to say, failed for once to break his own record. Norrie and Bill Hare were entered in the discus throw. The ubiquitous Briles skimmed the low hurdles as BergdoU skims the cupola of Founders. Chief and Giff still maintain that they could have won the quarter,—; they had been entered. In the spring Bill Hare ' s room-mate, McConnell, covered with talcum powder by his admirers, established a new record in the hundred. Never- theless we lost, for the first and only time. Though we won easily in Sophomore year, it was not until the following 86 getting present season that we began to show our real form. Francis added a foot or two to the shot-put record every week, and also set a new mark in the broad-jump. Ollie still likes to put the pole-vault bar an inch or so higher and go sailing over. (Record cups make handy mantel decorations.) Under Breck ' s captaincy the team won every meet. This year we have Brown, and with such an addition to our list, and Francis for a captain, nothing seems too much to hope for. Tatnall guards the wallet as Lewis guards his smiles, —ask John how he liked the trolley-ride to Lehigh! As we go to press it seems safe to predict that the season as a whole will be one of the most successful that Haverford ever had. 87 Cracfe iaecorD0 DATE 100 Yards Dash 220 Yards Dash 440 Yards Dash Half-mile Run Mile Run Two Mile Run 120 Yard Hurdles 220 Yard Hurdles .

Perhaps lie is training for the mystery class as a rival of the immortal Mcndenhall, — perhaps he thinks the Attic shades of Woodside ai-e safer than a college room, for the life of a Vanderbilt is an anxious one, and Paul lias put us all in his debt. Each day at noon he disappears with an apologetic lisp behind the Chemistry building, the Doomsday book under his ami, and this, except for an occasional hoiu in the 8liop, is about all we see of him. In Sophomore year he and Richards were joint proj)rietors of a nnndescrijit ilive in Center, where Billy ' s violin wailed like a banshee and Bake kept time by dropping his clubs. Occasionally Billy interrupted himself to deliver to a new listener his pet lecture on Paderewski, Tchaikowsky, Richards, and other great musicians 1 have known, and on these occasions Paul siglied and slipped silently away to the gymnasium. Here the sight of Giffo swinging clubs was too nuich for his class pride, and he redoubled his efforts. Giffo taken into camp, he set out after Bert Baily ' s goat, and when that elusive animal was securely coralled, he was ready for all comers. Liust year he covered himself and the College with glory by winning the Middle States Champiotishi]). However modest and retiring Bake may ai)i)ear around College-, his manner changes entirely as soon as he enters the presence of a member of the contrary sex. It makes no difference whether she be young or old, good-looking or a college girl. He can fuss with equal case and grace the cold Bostonian, the fair Philadelphian, the coy Coopertown maiden and any others who may cross his path. 99 JOSEPH MOORHEAD BEATTY — JOE — Joe is undeniably the class student. Norrie, Monty or the meteoric OUie may for a moment flash to the fore, but in the long run it is always Joe who gets the grades. High marks come to him as naturally as words to John. Day after day, week after week, month after month he sits in our cla.ss rooms, head slightly bent and back rigid, harvesting the golden grain of professional wisdom. And when at exam time, even the indolent awake to the faint bleat of the sheepskin, Joe looks at us with a slow siu-e smile, thinking of his own neatly tabulated notes resting securely between the mattress and the bedepring. But Joe is not only a phenomenon of learning, he is a paragon of virtue as well. For four years he has waged an uphill fight against triviality of speech, and it is only since he has been taking Dr. Bolles ' drama course that an occasional rare smile lights his face when Breck or Giffo comes in with J fl M W ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' K! a new one fresh from Biology IX. C yV Q ' RV5 ' - w ' ' 1 Wi — At least we have one on Joe. For it has been calculated that he S, f, __ i lj r ' j1 _ ' 3 _ _ loses nine minutes and forty-three seconds a day from his studies by not walking to and from the Library with his toes pointed straight ahead of him. Other accomplishments has Joe beside his walk. He singeth as the nightingale and beateth the box withal. These attributes are in evidence on the Glee Club of course, but especially at those parties famous for their banana ice cream and to which only some of us nicer boys were invited. A walk of two miles, a bit of restful talk, a whirl of the piano stool and Joe ' s rendering of Juanita. Bill Crowder often joined in after the opening bars, and it is rumored that Bill and Johnny Van here at length found an audience which could appreciate true music. Whitie was the Piccolo Player. To many of us, Joe ' s Senior year has seemed a broadening; Heaven send it be not a fall as well! The occasional brawls with Whitie and the deplorable dramatic excursions are hard to justify. But these we are confident he will outgrow. 100 PAUL HOWARD BROWN PAUL BROWNIE Paul is Earlham ' s yearly tribute to the good of eastern culture, but this time the tribute is especially valuable. At least, if we were Earlham, we should be sorry to lose him. He arrived among us late, but has decided to come back next year, and there arc rumors that he will not come alone. He has made careful incjuiries among the natives about the cost of living near Haverford, so perhaps he will not board at College — certainly not in Founders, the anthropological museum. You around here know that we ' re practical out in Indiana, and that ' s the way I feel about my Senior Thesis. So I ' ve written it on Plans and Specifications for a Si.x-room Cottage. New specifications arrive Tuesdays, Thursdays, and .Saturdays, and on these days his smile is even more genial than diu ' ing the rest of the week. His reputation as a runner preceded him, and he has lived up to it. Even as we go to press we hope to hear that another track record has been added to our string. Paul ' s supply of gold medals is reputed so unUmited that he fiu-nishes the boys in Founders with temporary suspender buttons. (Our informant insists that this is true). Brownie has been known to play ,500, but he has fallen no lower, and remains one of the few fellows in the class before whom we blush to say 13am. He has not become fully initiated into the Longstrcth-Hillingsgate mode of expression, which differs from the vernacular of the Middle West to a painful extent. On most occasions when Chief would color the surrouniling air a deep ultramarine, Brownie smiles, says, Well, I ' ll be a son of a .sca-coiik, and Ids it go at th. ' it. Paul has lately turned his attention (o the Football Kules f ' ommitlee, and now hobnobs fraternally with the peerless .labitt and my friend Walter Camp. With two such representatives in Council, at lc;ust five Haverford men should make the All-. merican next year. (The other six, we suppose, will, as usual, be from Yale.) 101 CHARLES HENRY CROSMAN — CHICK tSoineu-hcrf, aoiuelinu, a pud uiicc did sing {Forgive us if we misconstrue) That even a little learning is a dangerous thing. Chick thought so too. When Chick entered College, he had ambitions to be a student and an athlete. He still takes quite an interest in some of his studies, for instance — Sophomore Greek. This course so tickled his fancy that it took him three years to make up his mind to tear himself away from it. In the open season for exams, Lewis ' grouc h deepens under the load of official .stationery informing Chick that he has gone under in Latin, French, History, Economics and a few minor sub- jects. Though his time ha.s been devoted chiefly to minor athletics, such as bridge, Wogglebug football, and My Lady Nicotine, he has bowled both on alley and crease, and has done some remarkable rough-riding on Giffo ' s restive steed. Still we have always felt that all College activities with Chick were but a passing phase — an incident in his serious career — for Chick is a social butterfly par excellence, and even Francis takes his advice on matters of Fashion. Feeling that as a class we could never hope to console the girls of the Main Line — left desolate by the graduation of the Rounders ' Club, — we have appointed Chick a Special Representative with full power to act. Highly and nobly has he dedicated himself to this task, and unfalteringly has he carried it through. The rules are strict. He may never dance twice with the same girl on the same evening, or call at the same house more than once a week. Football season interfered seriously with the work, and Chick had to set aside one evening and two afternoons a week for managerial dutie.s. This over, Chick determined upon a bold move. An automobile was a necessity. He had none, but Coy drove Jimmie ' s. A meeting was held and the matter put up to Coy. The way in which it would increase Chick ' s efficiency was ably presented by Van Sickle in a forty-five minute harangue. For the honor of the class Coy gave way, and now Chick may be seen every day speeding by with a bevy of ladies in the tonneau. We have heard nothing but praise of the new arrangement. Our confidence in him was splendidly vindicated one day last fall. Rumor had it that the presence of a demented negro made the woods behind Lloyd unsafe for ladies. Lancelot to the rescue! The culprit took to his heels while Nemesis was yet afar off. Chick, however, rapidly over-hauled him, and with the famous Wogglebug flying tackle (from behind) laid him prostrate in the dust. 102 WILLIAM SAMUEL CROWDER BILL With grinding worries we have been annoyed. When books up-piled, — Yet nei er shall forget that day at Lloi tl When our Will smiledf Will Crowdcr has ever exerted a sobering influence over the gay young blades of the class. No mirth could long run around un- bridled in that austere presence. Once we lliought Bill ' s sense of humor wa-s ingrowing, hut it must have been that Hill w;is outgrow- ing his sense of humor. At present it is quite inadequate to the needs of a dweller in Lloyd. Jack Keough convulsed the College with a joke on Saturday, and the following Wednesday at midnight sounds of glee i.ssued from Bill ' s room. Somehow — whether by seepage or os- mosis — Bill had seen it. In politics, both class and national, he i.s a conservative. His defense of the Taft ad- ministration is only paralleled by his famous standpat attitude in cla.s8 meetings. Bill ri.ses, slowly and with dignity, and demolishes all the claims of the opposition to .sanity by hLs scathing, I don ' t see, — etc., accompanied by the famous wrist gesture. This usually occurs about two minutes after the motion has been pa«8e l unanimously. There is one thing about Bill that is solidcr than his intellect, that is his character. Only one lapse is recorded against him. Wliilr in New York on a track trip, he decided to break training in a proper l ' :Lshion. Ginger-ale high hits an innocent sound, and WiU jisked for one. It was a very high high and was all there except the ginger-ale. Contrary to all human experience, Bill became sunk in a profound melancholy and refu.sed to laugh, even when Kran crossed Broadway. Aside from being a slea |y worker at football. Bill hits been a gym manager of note. In Sophomore year, by ilint of many a cheery ' •good morning, he became class president, and not iejist among his act ivit ies is t he Wogglebug quartet te. Someone Ikls said t hat going to Haverford and not hearing Bill sing is like going to Atlantic City and not seeing the Ocean. It is to Bill that the cliuss owes one of the pleawintest exjK ' riences of Senior year— the dinner on May second. Then it was that Oflie stripped the mask from the in famous double dealing in the dining room, and the last sad rites were performed over the Whiffenpoof story. 103 FREDERICK AUGUSTUS CURTIS — FRITZ RAT Sneer not at the size of Freddie. He may be little, but, oh my! We have seen him down Fran Froelicher, and our salmon-haired wrestling champion got his start in Freshman year when he roomed with the Wilmington firebrand. Freddie ' s list of nicknames rivals that of the Valise. Most of these belong to aquatic fowl, as Shrimp, Squid, and Tooth-brush, though Waples, who claims to be a quarter of an inch taller, takes delight in using the sobri- quets of Rat and Runt. In P eshman year his hair was cut just short enough to stand firmly erect, but since then he has learned wisdom and manages to keep it bent down. Fred is in his glory in such activities as the Civics Club. His shrill announcements in the dining-room rival Josh Rally ' s in creating mirth. And you should see him ensconced in the chair, nodding wisely at the statements of the Speaker, and rolling cigarettes with utter nonchalance. Preston and the dagoes are also in his line. In fact Fred is everybody ' s right-hand man. Dolly Barrett, Jarden, Leslie Ferris, and the Cercle are all dependent on him. Looming large among his activities is the captaincy of the dauntless third, which under his leadership engaged the Merion Club Second, with five all-Philadelphians in the line-up. Fred ' s dignity was never more marked than on the historic night of the Jay Price party, when coming in slowly, legs wide, and bowing at each step, he excused himself in the superb phrase: Pardon me, Gentlemans, pardon me from entering! Being an adviser to the love-lorn is his forte, and he has always had ample opportunity to exercise it. For two years he managed to keep Ollie Porter single by introducing him to a new girl every time he fell in love. And rooming with Jess and Steve has not diminished his chances a bit. Everybody knows Steve ' s failings, and although Jess managed to elude his care, it was only by doing it during vacation. Fred makes a very respectable enemy, if you need one, but it is hard to keep him as such. You get to know him sooner or later and your enmity dies a violent death. 104 FRANCIS HARRAR DIAMENT Leador Wogglebug quartette (1, 2, 3, 4). The irrepressible Whitie, concocted as a substitute for wall-paperer ' a paste out of white of egg and the foam on beer, but rejected for lack of sticking power. This downy fledgeling appeared among us occasionally in Freshman year, and it took us some time to decide whether he was really here, or whether he was just taking exams for entrance in 1918. We .are told by Joe Beatty, however, that Whitie was an invaluable aid to him at this time, in the preparation of French grammar exercises, and looking at Wliitie ' s subsequent scholastic record, we can well believe it. Even in those days his propensities for hilarious enjoyment filled our grave Elder Joseph with dismay, a dismay which has only increa.sed since the leather-buttoned overcoats and spectral-hued ve-sts have made their appearance. One of Dr. Hall ' s leading lights, he spends hours of each day in the Chem. Lab. Arrived in the morning he proceeds to fill Winslow ' s hair with fine shot, then playfully turning the stream of his wash bottle on Joe Tatnall, he flees to the Library for safety. Here he may be found for the next hour or two perched on top of the step-ladder consulting reference works such . us Queed, and Brieux ' Three Plays. He is the hub ju-ound which revolve all fussing activities of every description. Skating, dancing, field hockey, class teas, and Welsh rarebit parties are his true means of .self-expres- sion. Inileed he has been formulated by .Sook, our chiss mat hcmatician, somewhat, !is follows: Oyiiitie)— (fussing) =f Rut many a hard- pre.s.sed lady of the Faculty has been rciidy to fall upon his neck with gratitude, when he marshals In his skirted batallions. His wresthng in Senior year wius a revelation, and, as one critic puts it: He can twist both legs around his neck and is original in several other ways. We have never fully under too l the circumstances of the famous joy-ride. II, seems that Whitie and the Swinging One, taking Polly along in case of accident, went out in the model T in search of adventure. Hut who composed the rest, of the party? Nobody seems to know. The participants, however, returned home thoroughly satisfied. Whitie ' e extraordinary light-heartedncHs and frr«dom from care is the keynote of his character. He thinks nothing of coming back to CoUegc a month late in the fall, ir of staying out for two or tlirec w. ' eks whenever Devon exercisis a more than usually strong fascination. Like I ' orter, he is a great athlete— at French Cricket— and we must not forget that he, of all the famous Fourteen, WM the one who scored the winning touchdown in the Wogglebug soccer game in Freshman year. 105 FRANCIS MITCHELL FROELICHER— pete — Among most of the class the opinion is prevalent that Francis is not of common clay. For once the class seems to be right. Pete has his dignitj ' , his poise, his enigmatical smile, and above all an implumbed mysterious mind. Few of us have ever had more than a glimpse beyond this exterior, but even this fills us with awe. 80 much so that one of our humorists ask which is the more dignified, Francis or Bill Crowder? Beside athletics a favorite pastime of Pete ' s is singing, and he occasionally leads the glee club. He is a poet, and a phil- osopher, an able substitute for Hanky, and would be even more successful as a second Rufus. He has had rare success as an expounder of Green ' s Prolegomena, and his appreciation of Fichte is only marred by his doubt as to whether the thing is really there before you put it there or not. Other lighter diver- sions are billiards, bridge, and mysterious expeditions to town. We had almost forgotten his lust for tobacco which has earned him the appellation of The Human Smoke-Stack, and he is also a financier of note. In some of the.se activities he is ably seconded by Sook and Giff, whom he has long been trying to train in the way they should go, though both learn hard. But, taken altogether, the one characteristic of Pete ' s personality which makes the most impression is his strength, and with this he should do great things if he only is able to check his tendency toward cynicism. Somehow when one thinks of Pete one recalls those lines from Service : If Ihey just went straight they might go far. They are brave and strong and true, But they ' re always tired of the things that are, And they want the strange and new. The question of success, then, with Pete will be only one of how he uses his talents. We who know him best have confi- dence in him. 106 PHILIP COLLINS GIFFORD — TIti- . ow-.s Bruu-fi TtrroT. 1 psf dixit. P. C. G. has sometimes been translated Philip Commonly Grouchj-: and if we recall the old days this translation has some foundation. Since the time when first 2 A. M. found him shivering in the presence of water buckets in Freshman year it has been hard for him to forget his cordial hatred for some of our members. With the Class Grouch as his burden and the Hinshavian mantle as his armor he reproved us through the columns of the Weekly in telling editorials. Opinions he had upon every subject and these he delivered as universal and immutable laws so that we occasionally spoke of him as the man with the .-Vristotelian air. Chief was at a lo.ss to understand him — but being him.self appreciated has been known to say — after four years — that Giff is the least appreciated man in the class. As an athlete Giff has earned the title of the Boy Wonder, and has entered every branch of sport from chess to football with a sublime certainty that he will outdo the best of his rivals. Even after four years he retains this attitude to some degree. For GilT will not take Xo for an answer. Indeed, his only difficulty h;i,s been in proving to the rest of us what were to him established facts. Even during this last year he has had to run three successive hurdle races to prove to John Keogh that he was the best man. GifT and the Soccer (Jrounds Conunittee in a like manner almost came to blows in selecting the jjer.sonnel of the third soccer team. Yet ;is a worker for all these teams no one has been more faithful than Giff. In gym he inspired such competition in club-swinging that even Haker ami Montgomery !ispired to be champions. ( )n the horse we have seldom seen his like. And all along the line we have been wishing that Giff could have coupled fifty extra jiounds of weight to go with his mind. For we acknowledge frankly that he is one of the most brilliant men in the cla.ss, and in things of the mind he Ls at his best. Now that he has begun to like us he hius given us less of his sarcasm and is !is good a fellow to talk to as we have among us. It wiLs his individuality that made the College Wcekli a recognized college paper. The more we see of his work — for he does not talk about it— the more we respect him. And even if he only becomes, as .some one |)rcdicled, The future hoi)e of progressive journalism — we know that his iiartiuular brand will rise to a higher level. 107 ARTHUR HERBERT GODDARD ARTIE — GOD — It waa just as Dr. Reid began Freshman Algebra with his first, Of co ' se, C.p ' mmen, that Artie slipped into our midst, sidewise like a crab, and sat down on a back bench in the Math room. A first impression of frightened eyes peering out between long, dark, downward-curving locks has never left most of us. He was like a wild thing — so shy. Having at last made it known that his name began with a G, he was seated beside Gifford. The difficulty experienced by Dr. Reid in telling them apart resulted in an impartial appellation of Gifford-God- dard. Artie made his lair in Founders and there he met Lace Lanthem. Their kindred souls flowed together like oil and vinegar and mingled in a kind of sublime mayonnaise which still retains its strength, quite uncurdled by the years. Ar ' tie has a remarkable faculty of holding his tongue when he hasn ' t any- thing to say. When he does speak, it is usually worth while to listen, for some of our most historic phrases have fallen from his lips. On finding a large, moist hop-toad in bed with him one night in Freshman year, he quite overpowered his tormentors by his: I f-found yer doocid merchine! And on the occasion of his describing the slaughter of little presidents he was famous for whole days. Sophomore year found Artie quite blossomed out. He had a pompadour and a man ' s size suit of yellow corduroys. It was this year that he began the conquest of the flying rings, later to class him as an athlete. Although long supposed quite innocent, he was unmasked when he contracted for some banquet menus. Those which went to Ludlam and Maule portrayed damsels in costumes bordering on the decolleti5. And yet, as some one pointed out (and blushed immediately after), no one who had ever seen a girl would accuse Artie of offensive realism. There is no telling what the Life Class at Art School may have done for hira since. God is going to be an architect, and is already planning a Neo-Gothic revolution in the design of Fairhaven dog-kennels. If he ' s successful there, we have no doubt that a few years more will see him remodeling the Haverford College Garage, or the Congressional Library. Go to it, Art! We ' ve all done something, yet we needs must cry How small is our repute; when ire speak loiv Of ■mighty Artie who ' s the one Urns guy That pill the God in Goddard long ago. 108 RAYMOND GREGORY Greg was getting along in years before he realized the advantages of a Haverford education, so he came to us at the beginning of Senior Year resolved to make the most of his opportunities. In one short term he has distinguished himself, (being one of the famous nine A students for the third quarter.) In Biology VIII, after everyone else has passed the question, Greg invariably supplies the desired information and can almost outdo J. A. B. in applying hendecasyilabic nomenclature to ligaments, tendons and muscles. His specialty is psychologj- and he keeps a brain (we don ' t mean his own) in formaldehyde in his room, so that he can run down brain paths at his leisure. He has been known to take William James, Jos. Royce, Rufe and other such celebrities to task when they disagree with him. tJregory is married. (Yes he has confessed it.) But despite that fact he retains his cheerfulness and (would you believe it?) he actually wrote a Phil. V thesis on Freedom. With it all, he is thoroughly democratic and is not above hob-nobbing with Tetrazinni, Homer or Caruso in the wings of the Metropolitan. Greg is at his best when he is boxing with Woosley, Allen or some other xx)t unfortunate in the bath-room of Founders . Then the fire of youth is in his eye, and the elasticity of a boy in his step, and one is reminded of the truth of the saying — A man is as old as he feels; and he is no older than many others of us, in feelings, at least. iSome day we expect to sec him holding down the chair of philosophy at Harvard or the Sorbonne, or writing voluminous works on The Pluralistic Universe. We wish Iiim great success in his chosen field. 109 LAWRENCE NATHAN HADLEY For three years it looked as though 1913 would go down in history as having no red-haired member, 1912 having exhausted the supply. Porter ' s attempt to fill the vacancy received honorable mention, but was not accepted. Darkness and gloom were rife, when lo! upon the campus in the Fall of 1912 appeared our Lawrence. Clad in the palest of pearl-gray suits, with aziu-e socks and Titian top-piece flaming like the emblematic flower of his natal Kansas, he was a sight for sore eyes. In fact, the prevalent epidemic of pink-eye is said to be largely due to the practice of looking at him in the bright sunlight without smoked glasses. His promptness at breakfast is the despair of Church, who arrives, hatless and coatle.ss like him at 6.30 a. m., only to find Red opening the door for the waiters. Hadlcy was half shot once in early youth, and to the best of our knowledge has not been so since, not even at the banquet. This too in spite of a fair division of his nights between the Metropolitan and the purlieus of West Ardmore. Now that the opera season is over, Athensville has come in for rather more than its share, and the frequent complimentary references to the choir at the Lutheran Church which fall from his lips seem dowiu-ight heresy in one with such strong Methodist leanings. When OUie first saw him, he spotted him for a student (perhaps because his .Action is somewhat reminiscent of Joe ' s), and our B K man had many an anxious hour before he found that he had been following a false scent. Lawrence cannot be fully appreciated till he is seen at the card table. Still unregenerate, he plays the loathely game of 500 with the passionate intensity of a limiber camp having its nightly spasm of High, Low, Jack, and the Game. Politically he is for the historic party of Jackson and Van Sickle, and his gleaming locks formed the oriflamme round which the discomfited legions of Democracy rallied in History IV. Not to have heard his rendering (in costume) of The folly Farmer, accompanied by the matchless Alan Young, is to have lived in vain, while his difficulties with the acorn, and his propensity for collecting baby-spoons, are a prolific som ce of mirth to the trivial- minded. In the Glee Club as on the Wogglebug line, his shrewd, good-natured face and booming bass voice were welcome features. 110 NORRIS FOLGER HALL NORRIE — v S: . We rertiiinly have to hand it to Xorris that he has a brilliant head. So far as marks go Joe has always received a point or two more — but when Norrie has finished an exam Joe is no more than well started, and Norrie h;is never allowed studies to interfere with his eollege course. In much of our elass athletics he h;Ui taken an active part and during Senior year captained the victorious second soccer team. That smile of his has always added to the pleasures of the Glee Club concerts and to Spitzie ' s French play. Few of us realize that the succcs-s of the Cap and Hells productions has been largely due to Xorrie ' s hard work and supervision. . nd last but not least he ha acquired the thankless task of editing the Cla.-is Record. Perha[)s the reason that his depth of knowledge is so swiftly impressive on all who make his accpiaintance — is that long years of worry have ileprived his head of its original foliage. .Although such conduct in any one else would (as the Wang .says) simply horrify us: it seems oidy natural that Norrie should point out to Don Carlos that question Twenty Two was, in his opinion, inade(iuatcly stated. Dr. Hall, pater, for once fotnid his match in ( ' hem. I. It is reported that in Geology, Norris gave an answer which it took Dr. Pratt ten hard hours with a flictionary to translate. In soccer his mirror-like head on the top of such an active body has always been a .source of wonder to our oi)i)onents, and we have frequently been asked whether or not the Fainilty are allowed to compete on our teams. Hetler than all Norrie has a most kiH-n .sense of humor. He can quote the Uible, .Shakespeare (and numerous authors of whom we have never heard) with lines that are always apt, and it is largely dui ' to his efforts that the name of Ahkaiuiaw remains imchanged. Ill WILLIAM YARNALL HARE 112 TIRED BILL Each morn upon rising J saij, (Dismissing all care and all sorrow) There ' s nothin ' to do ' till to-morrow A nd shuffle the deck for the day. Say, fellah, don ' t it make yuh tired to think? We as a class should tender a vote of thanks to our three impressionable Faculty members — Barrett, Bolles and Babbitt for their cooperation in making oui Bill ' s stay at Haverford as pleasant as possible. To Hazard also we owe thanks as the inspiration of much of Bill ' s table talk that has served often to prevent us from eating our delightful college fare. His final election of French V in Senior year realized his ambition; and the few hours he has spent with us this last half year we must consider precious. Upon every possible occasion he has made a rapid get-away to West Chester or his beloved Easton. Perhaps we do not appreciate him enough. The palm for varied summer activities we hand to Bill without a murmur. On hot sunmier mornings after Freshman year Bill could be seen swinging through the streets of West Chester upon the tail end of an ice wagon. He and the Mouse once patriotically decided to fight the chestnut blight. Before sighting the first chestnut tree a snake crossed their path. According to Bill the snake reached entirely across the road and was coiled about a tree on either side. What the Mouse did we have not heard; but the next message we had from Bill was postmarked Block Island and we perceived that he had carefully placed several hundred miles of land and a goodly strip of water between himself and that snake. At college Bill regards us from the viewpoint of a mature man of the world. His quiet satirical remarks are very often to the point and he is no waster of words. At the club in King Alchohol ' s room he has always been a prominent member. In his English grays or in his full dress suit Bill is one of our best. His famous latter-day scheme was to don full dress and a high silk hat and parade down Chestnut Street as if he were really going somewhere. Yet none of us can better appreciate a good joke than Bill and no one is more frank. He does not care in the least what we think of him ; and as our oldest original member has already learned to take life calmly and humorously. CHARLES ELMER HIRES, JR. — charlie — Charlie has come to be recognized as the class aesthete; our dreamy little aristocrat. The one outward aspect that he has retained from Freshman year is his optimism, — and it is only because of this optimism that we are still in doubt as to whether he is a genivis or not. Of course some of us are more definitely sure than others. One of our members has spoken with great effusion, ■ ' He lives apart in a world of passionate dreams! If we believe in this sjTnpathetic outburst, at least we have a source for some of Charlie ' s naive remarks. These remarks as a class we understood well enough. But Church and Charlie once embarked upon a social tour, . . . and Church does not care to have his pet names used except in exclusive circles. Charhe ' s death in the Philadelphia newspapers gave rise to still more extreme theorizing. I believe it was Freddie who suggested that transmigration of soul took place and that at present we have with us a Platonic Reality drifting in his own private and particular ether. The culmination of this Charlie, we viewed when, with hopeless oiitimism, he tried to make even Merion . nnex beautiful. Hut there is another very intimate Charlie. He and Heany Watson first gave our class its football fame. It was great to watch his little one hundred and thirty pounds bowl the big men over. To this Charlie, also, belongs the hack work for Junior Days. Ever since the college first discovered his talent he has been in demand wherever artistic work wa.s wanted. In this respect he has been an indispensable factor in the class — and about it he is modest and sensitive as he is in all things. Indeed, it is ordy when ho overhears Maule and Hare arguing i)hilo.sophy that he admits a feeling of superiority. His Resolutions in the old days were a source of great anuisemcnt to us. It was plcjisant of an afternoon to listen to them. In the evening he would rciiiernbcr that Heal l ' lossy (iirl. Per- spective of his history has almost driven this from our mind. And the Charlie of to-flay, seateil by Djirby Creek, his canvas before him and a book of Noyes beside him — with a smile for all of us — is the Charlie wc know best. UJ RICHARD HOWSON WiWMiMMMK — sook dick ' - This was the noblest loafer of Ihem all; Sleep well and long or ansicer not the call. Yet ever in the future when some trial Is ours — we ' ll smile remembering Dicky ' s smile. In athletics Sook has shown great promise, but like the conventional promise to pay, this has usually died of inanition. Swimming is his favorite sport because you can do it lying down, although billiards is a close second, as you can smoke while you play. There is something about Norrie which moves him to osculatory expression, and he loves to spend the long spring afternoons sleeping sweetly on the couch in the Hires-Locke pash parlor, with Pete, his affinity, beside him. Determined to make a strong finish, he came out for football in Senior year and stuck to it manfully, giving us a furtive glimpse of the real Howson, and he once actually trained forfour long weeks. On the strength of these achievements, his name was changed, — like Jacob ' s. But somehow Dick stuck in our throats, and his former affectionate sobriquet has come back into its own. 114 WILLIAM CHURCH LONGSTRETH No Nicknames, if you please At ike age offo ' teen, hit war the pride of Jackson County. ' Church is our original Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. When .seen around the campus he has often been mistaken for one of the hired men from the barn, but when he gets into that spiffy little English-cut suit, or better yet his joy rags, heat once becomes a perfect fashion plate. And the girls all love him and have done so from the stait, and now Chiefy is beginning to reciprocate, although he would never, never, never admit that he gets any ])lejisurc out of his hawg ' rastlin. Still his fame increa.ses and he was invited to seventeen dances during Christmas vacation and wanted more. Around college Chief is best known ;is a dealer in shell-fish and reparti ' c. lie does not talk a lot, like John, but what he says has a certain quality of its own. The secret of this seems to lie in his unique choice of adjectives. Moreover, he is alw ' ays able to discover an insult for everybody. He is the most promisi ' uously sociable fellow in College, and even used to attempt to meet. Gerald on terms of e(pi.ali(y. His scorn of the conventions is notorious and has led him to neglect his clothes to a remarkable extent. With it all, he is hi)|)ele,ssly altruistic, and will do any amount of any sort of disagreeable work, just for the joy of helping some one out of ji hole. He has been known to wail patiently for Iwenty-one people lo lake a shower and then go to supper imwashed. With this we leavi ' him. He may call us what he likis and we do not care — is he not our own Chief? Wc ure at his feel, and whatever he says goes. 115 JESSE DIVERTY LUDLAM __«jess — He came to us in Freshman year from the Cape May County mud-flats, innocent and unsophisticated but very game. No one was allowed to have anything on him — not even Woozy Wood. He managed to be in everything that went on, in spite of the remonstrances of his wife, Fran Peaslee. He was a charter member of the Center Barclay Club in Sophomore year, laid an egg in Maxfield ' s Class Room, and in fact was quite given up by the Ministers and Elders. One of these expressed a fear that he was but little better than Bill Hare. Wonders, however, will never cease. The crisis was passed the next year, and pausing in his mad career, he told us that study was the only right aim for a college man — told us so with gravity, and proceeded to clamber into the B division. It is doubtful if he could ever have ascended higher had not a second great metamorphosis come upon him. It was all due to Rufus. Just before Thanksgiving we were told in Ethics that no one can fully realize himself without love. Jess is a man of quick action. He went home for Thanksgiving, chose coldly and calculatingly, and proceeded to realize himself. He is realizing himself more and more. We were skeptical at first. There were those who doubted the effect of bi-weekly New York trips on a B grade. They are hushed forever. Borne on the roseate wings of the great little god, Jess calmly reached up and plucked a 90.3 for the third quarter. His explanation is that he has had a lot of first-hand experience about Railroads lately that has helped in Economics. A twenty-first birthday came, along in January. We celebrated with a tin-shower that did credit to the imagination of its authors. About the third package which the blushing boy undid was marked, From his affectionate Uncle Steve. Steve ducked quickly and it only grazed his head, but the dent still remains in the wall. We tried to take a picture of the gifts, but Jess managed to queer the camera. About mid-years Jess learned to dance. We hear from the younger set in Cape May Court House that he is a cotillion leader of note. It is hard to prove, for he refuses to do the spiral dip with Joe Tatnall, and from his pinnacle of purity he only smiles dreamily when Breck demonstrates a new Tango. The law has claimed him. Harvard is a long way from Harlem and Jess may still give in to the call and become a South Jersey Title ex-pert, but those of us who have ex-pericnced his cross-questioning advise him to stay with it a few years more. It is with a feeling of regret that we leave this biography. Romance is rare in these days and we should like to linger. EDMUND RICHARDSON MAULE ED KIND A Ed is an inheritance from 1912. 80 far as we can remember Ed is the only bouquet 1912 ever handed us without apologizing. . nd certainly our Ed needs no apology. Had he needed one he could undoubtedly have spoken for himself. Speaking in general i.s one of Kd ' .s strong points. No matter whether you are studying ir merely reading, Ed will talk to you. There is no need tor an answer, for what he says will always be sufficient in itself. His most serious talks arise on evenings of joviality. It is said that the well-worn track from Lloyd to the . nimore gate was made by Ed alone, l pon his return from Ardmore with that familiar gleam in his eye he undertakes to explain to his long-suffering wife. In each explanation he employs all that he can remember of riiil. IV and V. In fact, the more Ed talks the more enthusiastic he becomes and he feels it, his moral duly to expounil with vehement gestures his entire education — until even the patient Norm falls back exhausted before this torrent of words. In Senior year Ed met his match in .lack Kcough. The (w-o could not po.s.sibly talk together and the result was the famous Club. Both learned bridge, and, when l)arlners, sought to outbid ea ' h other for the sake of argument. Ed has been known to bid four lilies without an honor in his hand or a hint from Jack. Asifle from cricket, at which Ed is one of our best — • soccer and ethics theses have been his latest hobbies. When an ethics thesis gets by for the third time — Eddie and Hill Hare produce ihe iibitpiiious what ' s the use; and agree that June will soon be here. As to what Ed will do when our good influence ceases: there are many surmises. His Decathalon college course has given us no clue. Church suggests that he will pilot schooners acro.ss the bar. Hut the majority of us have come to the con- cluBion that Ed is best fitle l for a family man. and liergfton, he will reign supreme. Before an open fire with a Morris chair and a fat cigar, talking indifferently of Plato 117 - :fir. STEPHEN WARREN MEADER — STEVE As Kzriqufi of immortal memory would say, He is of good New England stock (pronounced stalk), straight from John Alden and Priscilla. Last year he and Rufus tied for the eham])ionship of New Hampshire and Maine in throwing the conjunct-self and putting the categorical imperative; from then on they have worked together, and at present Steve is engaged in slaying potential selves such as a chicken raiser with OUie, a teacher, or an artist. He was one of Jay ' s mainstays in singing, and even yet in the warm nights of May he yodels musically over the campus, coming home from Bryn Mawr. Steve ' s appetite has failed him only three times in four years: once was after a pipe, another after a cigar. The choice was hard between smoking and eating, but the food won, and he hasn ' t smoked since the last time. His third bit of abstemiousness was when there was apple pie for lunch one day last fall, and he passed it by with, No, thanks, I ' m a football man. Dagoes, art, The Hanerfordinn, and Bryn Mawr have been Steve ' s chief sources of amusement at College. He has been in demand whenever anyone has wanted the .services of one of the best artists in College. He has not only painted us menus and posters, and illustrated the Record, but has enlivened the pages of countless Philosophy notebooks with dancing nymphs and jocund fairies which are the delight of his classmates. In The Haverjordian his exchanges have been the best in years, though in his wandering vagaries, about I am sorry to be late, gentlemen, but at last the green-eyed Editor has pursued me to my desk, — etc, he reminded us of the Coraco-acromial lectures of Jabbit the day before the Exam on Theory and Practice in Freshman year. Steve carefully assimilated this lecture, got an A, and, convinced of the importance of increasing the biceptitude of one ' s biceps, he has been throwing the hammer ever since. 118 LLOYD HADLEY MENDENHALL ENperienced travelers tell us thai the two most remarkable collections of fauna in the world are in the British Museum and P ' ounders Hall. The latter has been known to include at one time: A Jap, two Spaniards, Hasard, a ■Syro-Phenician and a Downing. The possession of the only Goddard in captivity was once its proudest boast. Let no one think, however, that its prestige has declined. Has it not thirty-seven performing snakes, numberless stuffed birds, sundry mice of iis.sorted colors from which much is expected, — and Mendetihall? Mcndenhall, — of the pensive smile and swan-like neck, displayed with all the seductive art of a . outh Fifth .Street Hinders. Mendeidi.all — the challenge and despair of editors — the versatile, the I ' roli ' an, the inscrutable. Oh for a Hoswell to write his biography — a Ruskin lo interpret him to us! SHU i ' ic ilir Narhl, lirf trie dan Mecr, the current of his inner life rolls on, mysterious and baffling. For a fleeting moment the rosc- ' olored sus])eiiders in I he dining room were believed to offer a clue, but six weeks of shadowing by experts lias brought to light no deeper significance for them. His long solitary walks, and I he haunting melancholy which lurks in his glance have led us to attribute to him a Past. His fulurc is more tangible, for in another year Mexico will begin to experience his peculiar charm. GEORGE MONTGOMERY— three card monte — george The power that makes Uncle Allen move and tremble for his job. His six feet four gives him something of a longitudinal advantage over the aforesaid gentleman, and a certain voice is continually calling to him, Oh, Mr. Montgomery, won ' t you reach up and get me the Congressional Record from the Gallery? You can do it so easily. And George, being a most obUging young man, grabs it with alacrity, and long-trained in club-juggling, tosses it unerringly to the desk. Yes, George is obliging, especially around examination times, a compendious ocean that washes Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton, nay, even Greek roots and Latin derivations into brains that long ago ceased to absorb more than the surface sand will contain. So the Anti-Work Society is always solicitous about his health and rejoices with him at his string of A ' s. George is a vanishing series over week ends, and we understand that in them is to be found the reason why, at the end of Junior year, George was very much con- cerned about his future vocation. He was undecided whether to be a minister, a teacher, or a juggler of clubs at Keith ' s where he could educate the ladies of the chorus by reading them Herodotus. He had practically determined on the last course when the possibility of the Cope (since realized) changed him to teaching. He is a member of the Owls Club of Centre Barclay, together with Jimmie, Henry Joel and T. K., for whom he frequently acts as caddy and bunker in their midnight golf championships. He is the spiritual adviser of the wayward and speaks with conviction born of experience to the love-lorn; he is withal a patient critic of the aspirant to letters, and an invaluable interpreter of Hockshavian omniscience to the entire College. 120 HERBERT VICTOR NICHOLSON •nick — Y. M. C. A. in the Union at 6.30. Nick beat Joe Tatnall to the presi- dency by a single grin. For Nick is our only original Sunny Jim. He is alway s cheerful, never despondent, with a smile ever ready for everyone. It is said that he has never been angry, but this can hardly be believed for he is known to have played football and played well. In fact Blondy, for that is his football name, went into the great game of American Rugby so hard that he achieveti the unique distinction of knocking out Jack Keough, and in consequence will go down in liistory as the class White Hope. But Nick ' s real vocation is in directing the religious interests of the College aright and his nervous sniff as he rises to exhort is lus characteristic as Marty ' s famous keys. To be prepared for all occasioiLs and yet not violate the commands of his conscience, Nick has invented a fearful, wonderful, original and altogether unique assortment of Quaker cus.s-words. If you ever hear anyone say: — You crazy lemon! He did like a pig; you dumb nut! — that will be Nick. And now we are about to unveil the secret of Nick ' s life. He came from W ' csttown, a.s many wi.se people do, but Nick is going back! We don ' t know why, — perhaps it is the missionary spirit. Dust thou art and to dust thou shall return. Hut wherever Nii ' k goes it is a safe bcl he will be good, and eviMi at ' esttown, or perhaps especially at Westtown, he should shed light upon his way. 121 HARRY OFFERMANN OFFIE A match, Offie! Wipe that smile off! Tell us a joke, Offie, a joke! Our first memories of Offie center about the Freshman Entertainment which we staged so successfully in the early clays of Soph Year. When he appeared on the platform that evening we immediately saw possibilities in the embryonic himiorist, and we have been trying to develop them ever since. It was a question, however, if all his sense of humor hadn ' t died of mortifica- tion, hke the Whiffenpoof in his favorite story. But now, after his explanation of the Mystery of the Two Desserts at Bill Crowder ' s dinner, we can have no doubt that it is dead and gone forever. Almost as soon as he hit College, Offie started in to petition the Faculty to let him take extra courses, and he has kept it up ever since. Finding that it took too much of his time to write out all his petitions, he had some typewritten blanks made, and now all he has to do is to fill in the subject of the petition and sign his name. His daily routine is worthy of notice. He eats very little, so that it will digest quickly and he can get at his studies without any delay; and he sleeps very little so as not to take time from his studies in such a useless pastime. As an orator he is in an exclusive class, com- posed of Josh Cope and himself; and we are sure that the foundation of the American home, and the sanctity of American society will never be threatened while these two able champions remain alive. 122 SAMUEL PICKETT — SAM pick — Like his namesake of old, II Samuel lets none of his words fall to the ground. Words to him are an unnecessary adjunct to conversation — a grin and a nod or a shake of his head express all that outsiders should know. He is guilty of starting the wholly pernicious half-breed moustache brigade which will probably come to an end only when its members reach home and loved ones after Commencement. When the home dogs see them — but we ' ll leave that to them. A few of us trietl to join the brigade, but the sentiment of the community w;is against us, anfl while the half-breeds chmg together to protect their hirsute appurtenances we were divided against ourselves, and one by one fell beneath the shearer ' s knife. A stranger seeing Sam asked wiiat subjects he taught, 60 if he hears about it, he may be induced to imitate Cerberus of the cut- bof k in his facial adornment. Samuel ' s major course is The Saturday Evening Post, with Ethics, Baseball, and Hiology VIII as minors. He found out in October that a Math room is no place for sunflowers, but though blooming more or less flourishingly ail winter in unfavorable soil, he h:us adopted a pessimistic view of study in general, for What ' s the use? He tried football hust fall and played well, but a sprain put him out of com- mission. His main recreation since then hius been 500 and when Woosley hiuI Hadley are on the losing side for a moment he forgets the weight of the world ' s care and in answer lo Hadley ' s booming b;iss, says shamefacedly Listen to him rave. The rest is silence. 123 OLIVER MOORE PORTER OLLIE — PETE Sunny-haired, innocent, dynamite-tempered young hell-raiser from Connecticut, — that is OUie in a nut-shell, and yet it is not all of Ollie. We knew him from the first as an athlete. His shining head has led on many a field. In football, track, soccer, and gym he has made his mark and established a reputation as a boy wonder. As an elocutionary expert he soon forged to the front, earning the Everett medal and the thanks of Miss Emmehne Pankhurst for his .speech in favor of Woman Suffrage. He broke into the Cap and Bells and achieved fame as a singer and as leader of the Mandolin Club. With great distinction he undertook the work of Red Beebe as a Dago educator and as a Biology assistant he is unsurpassed. Then came the summer of Junior year and OUie was appointed a general of the Chestnut Blight Commission with Goddard as his army. Among his adventures was breaking jail after being arrested for playing ball in the street. This year he returned to us a changed man. The ? li K virus had entered into his blood and altered the ciurent of his life. His love affairs are in a peculiar condition. He is looking for a girl to fall in love with. But Ollie is going to be a forester and he has the habit of visualizing each girl he meets opposite him at a plank table in a ' log cabin in the Far West. So far we understand, none have stood the test. 124 NORMAN HENRY TAYLOR NORM Prepare for the worst, for this is the terrible Norm Taylor of Lloyd Hall. Have you heard of the Annex Orgies, where the turkey gobbles, the chiekens chatter and Jawn is king? Norm is always to be found t here. Have you heard of the Hell-hole, rendez-vous of John J., Ed. Maule, Hazard and the Belgian, — of the pliant, seduotive paste-boards that slide upon its table and the poisoned smoke that curls along its ceiling — you have heard? — Well, Big Norm is a joint proprietor! There are other things that you probably have not heard. Norm has been known to express leanings towiu ' d free love, and his philosophy is decidedly radical. Then there was Lilith, — but Lilith is mentioned elsewhere and we cannot quote, for we want this book to go through the mails. . re you quite satisfied of the blackness of this man ' s character? But after all, we who have lived four years under his baneful influence, feel we are rather glad to have known him. In the first place he is the most unfailingly good-natured man in College. When his chair is tipped over he picks it up with a Beg pardon. Jiven when roused at an early hour and forced to dress at the point of OUie ' s old Springlield rifle, so as to be in the dining room by 8 o ' clock. Norm ' s moans of protest arc never bitter. Hia speech is a pretty mixture of British and N ' Yorkese, and is garnished with soft laughter that would melt a heart of adamant. Add to these his large, angelic countenance, his delightfidly blushing hands, his English-cut clothes anil his Tyrolese hat, and you realize a little what Norm is like. Girls just can ' t help loving him, so it ' s not his fault that he is a fus.ser, and hij occasional .sorties into tlii ' realm of Kichte ami Hegel are to bo laid at the door of Rufus. Really and truly Norm ' s faults are hard to find. Our friends the Post -impressionists would delight in him. Here is the cr)lor recipe by one who knows : Red hands, Green hat, And a big, white heart. 125 JOSEPH TATNALL JOE TAT, Charter member K. T. B., and President of ly i i ivi. 11)13 model. Heavy upholstery, — lots of room in the tonneau. Built for comfort, not speed, but has been known to develop 18.59 miles per hour (for 100 yds.). (100 yds = ll sec. Figure it out yourself.) Out of the mists that hide those hectic days of Freshman year, there comes a memory of the Fall meet when first we found ourselves, and Joe. Head up and chest (?) advanced, he pranced down the hundred just a yard ahead of the Cereal. But we forget oiu-selves, You tell ' em, John! Since Freshman year Joe has never duplicated this feat, perhaps he has not been badly enough scared. For a time Joe ' s knee kept him in the background, but by Junior year another part of his anatomy had forged to the front and we began to realize his worth. Honor has followed honor, and job succeeded to job until to-day he is the busiest man in the class. We think he must have attained , the height of ambition, however, in Junior year, when, as liitching-post of the tug-of-war team, he tried to climb up the corner of the Gym to the running track, and pull both class teams I vlf- ' J 1I!_ uj) after him. wrifl j j j .. Like Bill Hare, Joe finds his chief delight in afternoon teas, where his aldermanic proportions and high-pitched jovial laughter invariably make a hit with that kid in cerise. Though distinctly a hawg- ' rastler of promise, especially with .such a partner as the great John J., Tat is proud of never having made a public exhibition of his talents in this line, and the mere mention of a rough- neck dance is enough to affront his delicate sensibilities. Like the gentlemen from Baltimo ' , Joe is a fervid partisan of Goucher College, and no doubt owes his train-announcer ' s voice to a too-frequent attempt to get our si.ster Institution on the long-distance phone. (Be it said in passing, Joe ' s friends think nothing of traveling all the way to Pittsbm-gh to see him play football.) We cannot forbear to mention his J. Price sense of humor. This is so subtle an essence that it escapes the annalysis of most of us although the Wang professes to understand Joe ' s jokes even after their author has carefully explained them. His only weakness is for a William Morris chair, a pipe of shag and an open fire. Thus you may find him sitting far into the night hatching new plots to snare the unwary advertiser, and, doubtless, — dreaming dreams. J 26 LESTER RALSTON THOMAS BRECK The first thing about Breek that impresses the casual observer is his athletic prowess. He was a member of that famous cricket team that went to England and did so well. — although of course it didn ' t win any games to speak of. Moreover, it is reported that when Breck came to us he held all the Westtown track records and at all events lie now holds two of ours. He has been captain of track and soccer teams and has made good in every sort of athletics with the solitary exception of gym., and even in this he has long been our star novice. But the energy which has brought Breek success on so many athletic fields is often in evidence in other lines as well. He was general of the center Barclay army which besieged Maxfield of sainted memory, and :i8 cook for the hungry eight in Soiihomore year he achieved immortal notoriety if not fame. He has a real thirst for knowk ' dge, too, and after waiting fifty-five niiinites for Biology class he has been known l i seek t)Ut Jimmy in the Infirmary in the hope of securing t ' } minutes of recitation. Recently he has gone in for the light fanta.slic and aheaily has all compel i- tors lashed to the mast. In fact so devoted Ut this i)astime has lie become that, like Church, hchiusbcen known to leave his (piiel bed in I lie Inlinnary, attend a dance, and return to the Infirmary again. But from this scattered conglomeration of statements, if you tlo not know him already, you will have gained but a poor idea of the real Breck. The Breck that we know best moves about our eam|)us in great haste with a stride .slightly reminiscent of Dr. .lones. At every meeting of College Association or Athletic Cabinet he is present, his voice usually eloquent in the cause of reform. Vor Breck luus prim-iples, and withal nmch steadfastness of pur|)0.se, and h:us long been the ready chamjiion of many a despairing cause, (lenerally, too, he is cheerful about it, for he has learned the virtue of being a gooil loser. 127 JOHN VALENTINE VAN SICKLE VAN IHl — ■ In Freshman year a tender youth, red-cheeked, clear-eyed, and innocent beyond belief, strayed somehow in among us and took up the daily round of college Ufe. In the course of his duties, — he had little time for anything but study then — he came in contact with Chiefie, our ever-flourishing tree of the knowledge of good and evil. For hours John sat at Chiefie ' s feet drinking in all he heard. Now Van is on the lowest levels of immorality, and dares hand even Chief the retort discourteous. But even his innocence did not prevent John from falling a prey to the Sophomores — and for a long time the result of his adventure was a tender point with John. All through his first year at college Sickle showed a zeal for grades which has never been rivalled. The plaster on the ceiling of Roberts ' still hang, only by its eyelids as the result of John ' s tremors just before Ocsar handed him the usual 92. Since then he has been living down his reputation for industry. For two years or so, his moral decline worked inwardly, but when he became a Junior he threw discretion to the winds and emerged in his true colors as a ladies ' man and a real rou6! And John is original in his methods, too, and is particularly effective with chaperons and at children ' s parties. In Senior year we got another light on John ' s character when we found him plunging heart and soul into the cause of Woodrow Wilson. Now that his candidate has been elected he is pathetically waiting for the cost of living to go down as a result of the removal of the tariff. But we had almost forgotten John ' s real long suit. He talks. He is an inexhaustible fountain of words. He must be experienced to be believed. He is unique. He could talk the Goddess of Liberty off her pedestal. He likes to hear himself do it, too, and one of our near humorists remarks: If John should talk in his sleep he would stay awake to listen. Jack Keough pleads not guilty. 128 WILLIAM WEBB Hail to thee, blythe Spiritl Bird thou nerer wert — KT ' the point being, of coiirse, that binln are proverbially early and eheerful risers. Now to oiir tale. Willo shuffled in upon us Freshnuin year from the fertile fields of Chester County which he maintained to be God ' s own country, all the rest of the earth being tacked on merely by way of comparison. But College has done wonders for him, broadening his mind to such an extent that to-day he will reluctantly acknowledge a possible comparison between Philadelphia and Kennett Sqviare or even West Chester. Like CJiffo and Norm he has spent most of his time winning his football numej-als; the rest has been devoted to the cricket shed. His chief joy in life is to get someone on the floor and to heap the bed, desk, table and other movable furniture on top of him. Under the refining care of Jimmie Carjwnter and Monte, however, he is slowly being broken of this bad habit. Willo is like Arnold Bennett. (Let me up, I ' ll apologize.) The latter says he likes to be surrounded by books, not that he reads them all, but just their presence is an inspiration to him. That is Bill ' s case. He keeps about thirty-four library books on his desk ail the time, and often removes the American history alcove en ntnssv to his room over night. We believe this WiW the unclerlying reason for his landing a Teaching fellowship, bccau.se he swells the circulation list of tfic Library .so materially. I ird AL ' irauIay wjis the nuTcst novice in tlie memory line compjued with Will. He can recall at a moirient ' s notice anything he has ever read, heard, seen, or dreamed about. Absolutely (not excepting Artie CJoddard) he is the most bashful man in the class, and literally flees all fems, never having been known to fuss in bin life. J.,ately, however, he has been making week-end trips to West Chester, and we fear that at last his adamantine heart has been touched by the irresistible impulse. 129 EDWARD FAYSSOUX WINSLOW — DOC — There is something about the Winslows that suggests the Hooligan family: — Mournful Cale, and Sleepy George, and Doe. Question: VVhieh is Happy? From an editorial stand- point the Doc is a treasure, — he has more clearly-marked individual character than anyone else in the class. Character, in fact, is his long suit. It is apparent at a glance. The aged gamboge-colored wheel, the pants-clips, the mud of the pike, the Spanish hat, the curvilinear props, — what need to cite further particulars! One of the best things about him is his disposition, which induces him to submit passively to the attention of Whitie in the Chem. Lab. though his pockets be swimming in water. Per- haps he has been well-trained at home. Ha! you have guessed it! One of our two Benedicts. In a sense he is our legacy from 1905, for he left that class in Junior year, lured by the delights of a pharmaceutical career, and is now well-established on the Pike, in Rosemont. (When writing to advertisers please mention CLASS RECORD.) After consuming one of his sundaes and a cup of near chocolate, we felt constrained to advise him to stick to prescriptions, but we understand that his real source of income is selling Sweet Caporals (subrosa), to the elegantes of the Main Line. Philosophically speaking, Winslow has arrived; — but he has always arrived about ten minutes late. His conspiracy with Barker to turn the Ethics class into a mothers ' meeting for the discussion of child psychology called forth many a groan from the back seats, as did his skill in divining Rufie ' s thought and expressing it in a few well-chosen words a moment before it fell from the professorial lips. His penchant for individuality in all things drives him to persist in saying present at roll-call, though the universally-accepted term is here. In Chemistry IV he is never without an answer, but it takes some time to get it out. His unhesitat- ing use of Christian names is the source of no small annoyance to some of the ultra-dignified younger members of the Faculty. 130 GEORGE SLEEPER WINSLOW Windy Screech Boob is proud to be one of the only white family of Winslowg in Baltimore, a red-hot Democrat, and a gentleman through and through. At Haverford he has been chiefly noted as the possessor of a shrill, spirited screech, half-way between a steam-boat whistle on the Chesapeake and a Bavarian yodel. He emits this peculiarly penetrating and indescribable noise regularly in his periods of happiness. The rest of the time he sleeps, dances, and assists E. F. in the drug-store. He is the most persistent sleeper in college, and yet his day is systematically apportioned. Owl-like he crawls down to supper, blinkmg at the setting sun, brightens a little under the steady fire of Breck ' s and Chief ' s repartee, then dons the purple and sallies forth to conquer at a cotillion in town. At four . . M. he appears beneath our windows caroling a southern melody and by collection time he has turned in for the day. For a month or so George did not disclose to us that he is Willo Webb ' s cousin, but the secret came out at last. When Willo was in the Infirmary, George in his 8t. John ' s military great coat was the only member of 1913 who succeeded in getting past the fair jailer, and then only in virtue of his military bearing and explanation to Miss H. that he was Willo ' s near relative who had come all the way from West Point to .see him. He has shadowed the steps of the young French assistant ever since last election night when he and Jimmie staye l in town till morning, and then, cheering for Wilson, left the 6.08 and came to wake Barclay and the vicinity with news of victory. It Ls a common sight in Centre to see .limmie playing the mandolin with his toes and to hear George singing to his accompaniment some of Brother Cale ' s old songs. As Commencement draws near George says that he hjLs had his sleep out and that next year he is going to go away to Cornell (o study. 131 JOHN BROOKS WOOSLEY is, Greg, trump that considered thing. and its environs, has made a strong appeal It didn ' t take long to pick out Guilford ' s contribution. He had the sunny smile and the gentle drawl, and when you asked if he was from South Carolina he reached for his hip pocket. Now that we know him better we carefully refrain from alluding to that sink-hole of iniquity. Unlike some former tah-heels he neither chews tobacco nor tickles the banjo. However, he has overcome the apparently insuperable barriers to greatness by his good humor and his gift of gab. John B. is a congenital Democrat, an integral part of the Solid South, and within a week of his arrival he had us all winning with Wilson. On one memorable occasion he dragged the body of Theodore Roosevelt seven times around the walls of Dr. Kelsey and the Bull Meese, and in English VII he periodically flays alive all things Progressive, including Woman Suffrage. It has been suggested that his frequent visitation of that nest of advanced ideas up the line, is in the way of a missionary duty. Perhaps he wants to keep constantly before Someone ' s mind the fact that Woman ' s Sphere is in the Home. Although a small man he is a valiant one. He played a scrappy game at end on the Wogglebug team. Clad in a violently striped Jersey and armoured with a small round headguard he was a sight to terrify any foe. We have been inclined to address him with due respect since that day when Dr. Kelsey asked him if he remembered a certain lynching in his home town, and he calmly replied, No, not that particular one. Woosley ' s vocabulary, when kept clear of South Carolina, is remarkably mild. His favorite expression while playing Five Hundred The Haverford climate, tempered, we suspect, by the proximity of the Gulph Road to John and he is to remain another year, this time as a staid teaching fellow. 132 CHARLES OTIS YOUNG — coy — Home life with Coy, as with other men of genius, is a bit exciting. He is at his best when asleep, and frequently wakes the echoes with frantic and touching ai)pealfi to the latent nobility of character of Jininiie ' s E. M. F. He often attempts to hang from the picture molding by his toes, and oni ' e lie was found by Joe suspended in mid-air from a single nail on the window- sill. He alTccts chemistry, soccer and cricket and performs on the mandolin, guitar, banjo, harmonica, cornet, flute, harp, sackbut , psaltery, dulcimer, and all other instruments that can be made unmusical. He is a faithful pupil, rarely missing a meeting of the Sunday morning dancing class conducted by i rofessor Thomas (assisted by Messrs. Meader and Carpenter). Having also a love of rural atmosphere, he made exploring ours to the Log Cabin anfl Coopertowri, but of late he has taken to profound study with only a rare dance to break the monotony. He still retains, however, the spirit of rough-house which nuide him famous as the band of the Middle Barclay Army which in days of old attacked the citailel of Maxfield the (ircat at dead of night and attempted to use Henry Joel ' s bed as an incu- bator. Next year he will turn his attention to the Pro- fessor of ( ' heniistry. Much like a viaideii whai he c i7tw Into our jtnUitt a tittle tn y Though inantike — still he n tntteh the same And still u ' f call hint gently Coy. a ifJlorninjj in Centre ilarclap THE hush of early morning, broken only by the sweet chirp of birds and the gentle swish of breeze- blown ivy leaves — then the quickly stifled buzz of an alarm clock, and the soft footfalls of Joseph as he rises to dress. Founders ' Bell sounds its measured cadence, and the early birds flit over to capture Aunt Martha ' s worms. Time goes on. Comes the creak of a bed-spring and on the second floor a yawn issues from a forty-two chest. The faucets in the shower-bath squeal and as the cold water comes down, the chest again emits a sound. This time it is raised in melody, — Sing me songs of Araby. At intervals faint groans are heard from the other end of the hall, as of one writhing in torture. Crenoni, says the groaning one with a faint Pittsburgh accent. The song subsides into a hum under the caress of the bath-towel ; and simultaneously the groan ceases. In its stead comes the wail of a drawer hauled out in search of fresh silk socks. • A moment later the bell tolls eight. There is a fierce pound of running feet at the head of the stairs — Jimmie and Screech are fighting for the pole. Just behind them the owner of the chest and voice skims along at a .swinging lope. Will Webb awakes and falls out of bed with a crash and a grumble at the cussedness of life, and partly dressed, with one eye fully open, goes charging down the steps. He is the last of the flock and peace reigns. Monte and Joe snatch at this moment of exquisite joy and the noise of turning pages comes from both floors. But bliss is brief. Henery, — it is the Voice again. Henery, I ' ll play thee a game. (No, gentle reader — not Poker nor Five Hundred either. This is .something new — Harvard Indoor Soccer.) A tennis ball is placed in the vestibule of Henery ' s room and kicked — the aim being to have it strike the wall at the opposite side of the hall and return to the room. Possible scores one to twelve, according to the success of the effort. Spat! bing! and the Voice says, Beat that, Henery ; a six the first shot. No, only a four, Thos; it didn ' t come into the vestibule, pipes a little thin voice. Well, it ' s thy turn. Ha! only two. Let me try it again. This ball must be dead. Four for thee, Thos. Here ' s where I catch thee. 134 Already the parade from Merion starts to arrive. Jess, always in the van, heralds his approach from the foot of the stairs with a few gleeful lines — My girl ' s a corker! She ' s a New Yorker AATiang — Thos: Thee should be more careful, fellow! That would have been a twelve if thee hadn ' t gotten in the way! THE NEW STACK The singer fortunately i.s not badly mangled. He is able t ake his way to Monte ' s, where he draws a ten-page letter from his pocket and quietlj ' subsides into tlie ni irris-chair to read il for the seventh time. 135 Jimmie, on his way back from breakfast, strolls into Thos ' room to inquire how far the sun in peri- helion is from Venus, or, if the second person of the subjunctive is ever found in ' Faust. ' Well, I ' ll tell thee, fellow, I know all about that. But, as I was saying to Henery here, if we don ' t use phonetic spelling, how will posterity ever know how we pronounced our words? I was talking to the young lady up the line about it last night, and would you believe a girl of her intelligence would oppose it? She did! No, I ' m not what you call a killer, Henery, but thee ought to see me dance. Let ' s have a game of golf, profs, suggests Jimmie, who has heard this dissertation three dozen times previously. A tennis ball, and a couple of mashies; two waste-paper baskets thrown into the hall as bunkers, and the tournament is on. From Seebury ' s bedroom, through his study, down the hall, into the shower and back to Thos ' bedroom completes the course. Carpenter has done it in bogie at three. Aou-u-u! Aou-u-u-ah! Leggo you! Eayah!! Some one is evidently attacking Screech. Jimmie flies to the rescue and a moment later announces that he has routed the marauders, in a paean of victory — Apri-la, bella, la fenestrella. Everybody runs over to Collection and once more peace. At 8.34 hurrying feet are heard. Someone comes upstairs and down the hall at a double quick. Aha, Jimmie! Bo jou ' , bo jou ' . Sit still! Where ts that darn book? Seen anything of Wagner? Funny! Most gha-astly morning to ride! Train was late. Got a match? Yes? Fine! See you later! One minute eh? Ah-a — The last word comes from the landing — and he is gone. Monte sighs, with relief this time, and pours a little more water on the grindstone. 136 Thursday rleeting-Uncle illen WreMiinc witn tHe5p '  rit Allen BillCrowder and the Burden Life STU Y IN RELTANCULAR, 5DU 5 THEJSALOn £yeri t1an Hi Own Impressions of Will Webb at the 5eniorTea Monday Lunch 3ln Retrospect THE four years that we have known her have meant much to Haverford, — and to us; more perhaps than we can now fully realize. They have been four years of unprecedented material growth, which began with the opening of the new barn the summer before we entered, and the removal of a group of unsightly sheds which formerly were conspicuous from Cope Field. In November of that year, the new cement outlet to the skating pond was built, and last summer, a stone culvert under Railroad 138 Avenue eompleted the water control fjystem for the pond. The Union was also opened later during the winter and has become the center of a host of activities of all sorts. One of the most important additions, — the Chemical building — was first used in Junior year. The need for tennis courts was partly satisfied by the buildinsr f xwn new ones near the Observatory, and the Memorial P ' ountain added a touch of grace to the equipment of Walton Field. The Infirmary was ojiened just a year after, with the abolition of hazing, its principal mi noil d ' etre (in the opinion of anxious l)arents at least) seemed to have disaj)- pearcd. The overcrowding in the Library has been relieved by the addition of a capacious stack-room. On their Com- mencement day, the cla.ss of 1912 gener- luisly presented the College with a stone gateway, followed this year by a similar gift from li)0!), and this year too, the . lumni . thletic Program, long the inspi- ration of Cabinet meetings, has been partly realized by the construction of the new driveway and soccer field. Even as we take our leave, the walls are rising for an a ldition to Lloyd Hail where we shall never room, and chill stone has replaced the old wooden steps which wcic the inspi- ration of many lunctul galh Mirig . In the last four years, Haverford has sent three Rhodes Scholars to Oxford, — has been placed on the .VccejjtiMl List ' of that university, — has been assigned a place in the First Cla.ss by the Carnegie P ' oun lation. and has been many times honored by the conferring of degrees iijion members of lier Faculty. Aside from these visible changes, there has been an inijjrovement in Haverford spirit, a growth of unity of fe ' ling. nnich of which is due to the abolition of hazing. In so far as we have l ' iMlhere i this spirit 1 39 we may claim a share in the credit which is due to two other classes which preceded us. To those who come after us and have seen the splendid success of the non-hazing system, we would repeat the message of 1!)12: Think very hard indeed before returning to hazing. As we look back to our own Freshman, and even to our Sophomore year, and see the senselessness of many of our performances, we feel a pang of regret for things done that we might not have done, and we wish that we could begin again under the new era. But that is idle wishing, and we are glad that for two years we have lived in the brighter period which makes it doubly hard to leave Haverford, and makes her still more dear. 140 J ineteen Cbtrteen Class ©fficera FRESHMAN YEAR First Half A.
