HAVERFORD CLASS RECORD By Russell N. Miller. Mother of men in years long past, Mother and maker of men to be, Thy youngest sons, their love o ' ercast With sorrow, bid adieu to thee. No more we pace thy reverend halls; No more we play upon thy green. Nor hear the tumult in thy walls — Time will teach what these things mean! Memory shall hold them, as seasons roll. Firmer through toil and search after truth; And the Man shall be stirred to the depths of his soul By the songs of the sunrise and glory of Youth. A murmurous whisper rushes on From far to join our sad adieu. The chorus of our classmates gone: Alma Mater, we love thee, too. Clasping hands we pledge each other Friendship that through life shall last. And for thee, Eternal Mother, Common love shall bind us fast. Greater than lore or doctrine taught. Thy counsel and thy noble plan. Filling and guiding every thought: To dare to act and be the MAN. One warm grasp -thy fair truth hurl ' d Into the strife we ' ve just begun, Alone we ' ll prove the wider world, Hands asunder, hearts as one. 13

HAVERFORD CLASS RECORD RICHARD MEAD BALDERSTON Dick Class Cricket Team (1,2, 3); Class Soccer Team (2, 3) Second Soccer Team (2, 3): Assistant Manager Soccer (3) Class Vice-President (3); Cricket Team (3); Cricket H (3) Manager Cricket (4). Service: Friends ' Reconstruction Unit. Well, it goes, anyway. Automobiles, cricket, photography, and engineering is a hurried summary of Dick ' s hobbies while in college. After two years ' rest from the life at Westtown, Dick became a Haverfordian. Engineering was what he was after, and he took practically every course in that line; but subjects that had nothing to do with it, directly, he did not seem to care for. For instance, French did not seem very interesting. One branch of Chemistry, how- ever, fascinated him: that was Photography. Most of the time spent in the Chem. Lab. was spent in the dark room. He believed thoroughly in the famous motto Take a kodak with you. One attempt to get a picture of New York almost ended disastrously — he forgot it was during wartime. That was when he was taking the Cricket team to Staten Island to play a New York team. In his first year he was a bowler on our Freshman team; the next year he gained a position on the second team; and Junior year brought him to the level of the varsity, with a managership to boot. But, automobiles! Mention the word, and Dick was off. Anything from a broken-down Regal or a balky Autocar to a Hudson Super-six or a long red Mercer held his interest. In the spring of 1917 his knowledge of the gaz-bus brought him an instructor ' s job in the Emergency Unit. Now he is head of a force of twelve men in charge of the repair and upkeep of the trucks and motorcycles of the Reconstruction Unit in France. Very seldom out of temper, always ready to help somebody else, a good business man, ready for a good time if nothing more important presented itself — that is how we think of Dick; that, and the fact that the first and last word of his vocabulary was automobiles. 14
