Born 1906 Entered from Easton High School in 1923. Asso- ciate Editor of Haverjordi ' an (3, 4): Cap and Bells Play (1. 2); Classical Club Play (4); Chairman of Play Committee (4): Cap and Bells Club; Scientific Society; Classical Club; Liberal Club; Founders Glut Companionship is a very dear thntg to Ad; an evening of talk around the fire with two or three friends and a pipe just suits him. While he likes a bit of thoughtful conversation now and then, he is always ready for a cheerful scrap and generally manages to come out on top. The third floor of Center was the scene of a good many such battles in junior year. As a Rhinie, Ad won a place in the Cap and Bells Play, the only one accorded to 27 that year, and he has been connected with dramatics from then on until in senior year he held the position of chairman of the Play Committee. His capacity for spinning good yarns made him a member of the ¥[aver ord. an Board; he is the only one in the class to be elected to the board. Fortunately none of his manuscripts contained any of the puns for which he is famous (or notorious) ; if they had, we wonder what fate his literary ability would have met. Allen and Bayles are class leaders in the line of jokes; an animated conversation between them is abtiut as good entertainment as you could ask, though it should be curbed after the first half hour.

As a sophomore. Army was greatly feared and respected; he was one of those youthful firebrands that kept the Rhinies in their place, and the reaction from this rcijime was the abolition of hazing by 27 — the Rhinies who had been kept in order. Although much more serious than in those days. Army still retains something of his devil-may-care attitude, and his loose, free carriage, characteristic of his walk and soccer playing, reminds us of the time when his self-expression was at its height. Sam has always been a brilliant student; when on rare occasions he wished to show his prowess Jie ranked among the best, and the rest of the time he was able to pull down good grades with surprisingly little work. A little soccer, however, varied according to season with amateur basketball and golf, suits him far better than study; his time is saved for these, and he enjoys them all very whole-heartedly. A handsome and brilliant athlete is ever in demand among the fair sex, and Army ably upholds this tradition. Junior year he joined the Miller-Maguire circle but deprived of their company- this year, he and the Fourth Entry group have graced the dance halls together. Army — Sam Dojt ' t rush me, boys.

The Rover Boys All Over the Place, or How a Hupp 8 ' Roadster Came Near Ruining a Good Student, is the title of Jim s biography. The lamentable decline of his interest in history, due to the aforesaid roadster, a movie camera, and a sister in Germantown, must be mentioned as an important tendency in Jim ' s senior year. After playing u ' ith the Jiews a while he decided that the time could be better spent in other ways, so he left the editorial chair to Al Horton. His position as editor was the clima.x of three years faithful service, however, under such leaders of men as Walt Sassaman and Howard Marshall. A great boon is the way the other three of the Horsemen express their ideas ak)ut the car. It must be confessed that they present an attractive appearance when oif on an excursion. The owner of the Casa del Rey Garage is considering reducing the storage fee — the car is never there. Jim ' s activities as a movie magnate include a one-handed attempt at William Penn while driving down Broad Street and the famous Thinking of His Bettye, starring Wheeling Bcnnard WL ' QECOWim ¥ GEORGE THOMAS BANKS Raines, Shelby County, Tenn. B(irn 1906 Entered from Webb School m 1923. Football Squad (3. 4): H (4). Tubby is the one who really makes our class complete, for no organization can be so considered without an honest-to-goodness fat boy. But the thing which endears Tubby to us is not so much his corpulence but the fact that he has introduced us to the famous Memphis drawl. To hear him speak one might imagine him to be a continuous somnambulist, but were such the case his tremendous stock of infor- mation could never have been collected. It still is a mystery where Tubby gathered the huge store of useless knowledge which enabled him to defeat Jimmy Carpenter during the rage of Ask me another. Surely it is not in the classroom that such learning was acquired for the picture below is typical of George ' s attitude toward the offerings of his preceptors, and he enjoys the reputation of giving less preparation to his required work than any other student in collegiate circles. It seems a shame that the young ladies of the North may not benefit from George ' s company, yet such is indeed the case. Tubby is more than faithful to the Southern belle in Tennessee, for he wastes no favors, smiles, or words on the Main Line debs. I Tubby — George Please pass, the sa-a-alt. WL ' QECOUDmT ' Q m HAROLD EARL BATES Port Deposit, Md. Born 1906 Entered from Jacob Tome Institute in 1923. Man- ager of Track; Haverjordxan Board (2), Cnciilation Manager (3, 4). Harold has hccn so busy following in the social trail left by Bates and Watson, ' 25, that he has even surpassed the dance-floor fame of his older brother. On the campus, however, he seems to wish to hide his social activities under a variegated assortment of old clothes. An undaunted nerve, and a real wish to do things, or even people, for the advantage of the college organizations, has made Bates one of our more successful business men. He has further increased his responsibilities by becoming official receiver for Pop ' s line of worries about the track team. That he does not let these bother him too much is apparent from the gaily warbled tunes which accompany the performance of his duties. Even in the dining room he is noted for his nonchalant air as he dashes down the aisle and slings a cup of tea down Fowler ' s hack, or tosses a cereal dish up in the air. His varied humming experiences also bear witness to his irrepressible spirit, and woe to all comers when this takes a professional turn. Bates — Hal ' Lend me a Uic vest for tonight, will yuh? t £ QLCOWm n te M. WARD BAYLES Howard, Kiin. Born 1904 Entered fnim Friends University on Senior Schol- arsliip in 1926: Glee Club. Bayles capacity for telling jokes is seemingly limited only by the willingness of his audience to listen. He even works them off in economics lectures. Then, tix), he IS always ready in self-defense to laugh at our attempts at humor, no matter how feeble. This fellow in the red sweater with the Q (the wherefore of the Q is still a mystery), striding along at the head of the cross-country squad with elbows working like a steam engine, has become a welcome figure, especially when he wins inter-class races for 1927. His ineligibility for the varsity is a loss to the team. As a musician. Ward is unequalled for versatility, whether singing baritone or second tenor at the discretion of the Glee Club coach, playing a stray ' cello for the benefit of the Instru- mental Club, committing trumpet duets with Sargent, or being bassest of the fifth entry quartet. (That is his usual hang-out, although he has his room in Kenneth ' s Country Club. ) Ward has worked hard to get himself through college, and we wish him all success as a printer back there in Kansas. r £ ' Qn:owiQ27 m WELLARD SNOWDEN BENHAM 4631 Larchwood Ave., Phila., Pa. Born 1905 Entered from University of Pennsylvania in 192 Football Squad (3); Scientific Society. The transition from rake to philosopher is but the work of a few minutes in the case of Beanum. In the afternoon he is to he seen, decked out in his iron hat, tooling his collegiate roadster up the Main Line while debutantes look on and sigh. While driving he is muttering to himself a few lines of Byron to be used at his next opportunity with the fair sex. After the date has been consummated, we find Wellard curled up in an easy chair before the fire, pipe in mouth, reading Schopenhauer with avidity. Occasionally he announces in Mencken ' s words that falling in love is an intellectual disaster. After a few days of exhaustive research into the realms of thought, he will be ready again to go out on a jolly gocid bender. His efforts on the gridiron as third substitute center might have culminated in furthei glory if an appendicitis operation in the summer had not prevented further athletic activities. Always carefree, joyous, generous, without a peer as an automobile pilot, it is not hard to explain his successes with the fair sex, and even his failures have proved glorious, for ' it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

Assistant Manager of Track (3); Record Board; Class Debating Team; Accompanist for Glee Club (4); Classical Club; Scientific Society; Liberal Club; Class Secretary (4). Who was that lady I seen you with last night, Bixidle ' Wh -, that was no lady; that was the wealthiest debutante of the season. The night before last I had a date with the best-looking deb. and Sunday night I went riding with the deb who is reputed to be the best-dressed of the season. Friday night, Ira, Hoge and I are going to dinner at the Cadix with the most athletic ' bud. ' Armed with a good name, a potent vocabulary, and the most mobile pair of eyebrows on the campus, Boodle has firmly established his claim as the debutantes playmate, and the combina- tion of the above with Hoag and the ■Whitfet appears irresistible. As pianist for the Glee Club during senior year, John acquired an additional nickname of Sonny and a set of calloused fingers. How he arrived late for the Wilmington concert and all but sent the managers into hysterics would make a promising theme for a budding novelist. In an effort to acquire a certain air of je ne sai.s qiioi, he has adopted among others, the Hello, old man greeting, accompanied by a Princetonian flourish ot the hand and an appropriate raising of the left eyebrow. John — Boodle I ' m sorry, we just don ' t do things liJ(e that. ' t C VECOWlW . HERMAN EDWARD COMPTER 353 E. 193rd Street, New York City Born 1906 Entered from Evander Childs High School in 192J. Assistant Manager of Baseball (3): Glee Club (1. 2. 3 4): Instrumental Club (2, 3. 4); Cap and Bells Club; Scientific Society; Liberal Club. Herm is wavering between two philosophic alternatives; either he will embrace honest scepticism and abandon the effort, though not the desire, to help solve world problems, or he will decide that progress is a human trait after all and add to its momentum. He is at present very broad-minded, so much so that he cannot tell which side to join and isn ' t sure whether what we consider good is really any better than what we consider bad. Rather stolid and thoroughly good-natured, Herm finds a ready place in social circles: there is, however, only one particular district that can hold his undivided attention for very long, namely Drexel. He and his room- mate. Bill, make frequent week-end excursions there, and between times the Fifth Entry phone is generally connected with Drexel for an indefinite time after 10 P. M. Compter has decided ability in the line of music, and both loves and appreciates good music well rendered; he has sung in the Glee Club all four years and strummed the mandolin nearly as long. When in the right mood Herm laughs very frequently and with great spontaneity; it seems to npple forth at the slightest provocation, and is sure to set everyone else going. Herm ' Aiy, no, you )ust don ' t apprcciali ' ats.on r c ' QLcowmrU m m SAMUEL COOK 6 N. New Hampshire Ave., Atlantic City, N. J. Born 1907 Entered from Philadelphia Central High School in 1923. Manager of Store (4); Advertising Manager of Record; Haver ord,mn Board (5, 4); Corporation Scholar (2. 3. 4); Freshman Mathematics Prize: 2nd Biblical Literature Prize; Phi Beta Kappa; Store Committee (3. 4): Press Club; Scientific Society; Liberal Club; Founders Club. Sam is the business man of the college. His efforts with the Co-operative Store were herculean, and not only completed Kingsbury ' s attempt to put the store on a firm financial basis, but made it really co-operative, thus taking the teeth out of one of Haverfords most traditional jokes. The Haverjordmn also benefited by his per- suasive powers, while the members of the class of 1927 will not soon forget his pleadmg efforts to get them to go out for ads, with his striking bulletin-board reminders, and his straight from the shoulder talks about the Record ' s financial status. Great capacity for absorbing the subject matter of his courses resulting in a succession of Corp scholarships and a big Phi Bete key in junior year, and the reciprocal burden of living with Lipsit;, have not prevented the real brilliancy of his mind from reveal- ing itself in decidedly liberal attitudes. Even Dr. Marti had to concede him a 99. Since the departure of Elihu, however, he has suffered for lack of a proper field, having to fall back on the Liberal Club. r C VEWBDlW m NATT MORRILL EMERY, Jr. 41 E. Market Street, Bethlehem, Pa. Born 1906 Entered from Phillips-Andovcr Academy in 1925. Cricket Squad (3. 4); RECORD Board: Scientific Society; Liberal Club. Perhaps the most characteristie attitude assoeiated with this fellow Cautious is absorhuig the eontents of the latest College Humor or allied periodicals in the cushioned comfort of 1 5 South Barclay. As a card player, Natt ranks among the best, and his presence at directors meetings held frequently in South always adds to the calm seriousness of such an affair. We often wonder what is going on beneath this cautious conservatism, but we are not sure whether anyone has com- pletely solved the mystery. Natt enjoys the social life probably as well as any one of his classmates, but his thought that what you say may be used against you does not lead him to talk much of his conquests in that line. Be it said that when Cautious speaks his mind his words are always forceful and very often to the point; his quiet humor has kept many affairs from the despair of ennui. On some occa- sions he is a very natty dresser, and his socks and stockings are the pride of collegiate haberdashery. After two years ' enforced inactivity in the athletic side of college, Natt has since proved his worth as an able cricketer.

Al entered college with a 99 in an Arithmetic Entrance Exam. After correcting that impression he scrubbed with the football team until senior year when his undying efforts were rewarded with a letter in that sport. His name is one of the few select to appear on the last terrific Sophomore Hazing Committee ' s paddle. It required two years of constant association with an added roommate for Fay to live down the Siamese Twin nickname which he and Baker early earned. Although over- exposed to Mathematics and decidedly fond of the unlimited cut system he developed a reputation for effervescence and general good humor with even the Faculty. A caroler on the Glee Club from freshman year, his serenades under the shower have attracted many a shoe, and his ruby voice at the telephone — ! Heart-whole and fancy- wild was this blond Southerner and Rhinies still stop and watch him swinging down the road to Germantown while his roommates shouted, ' Oh, I say. Fay, hurry back. He has never been known to hurrv. CatM C C ' Q£CO2DJ027 ' Q m JOHN EVANS FORSVTHE, Jr. 22 S. Oakland Avenue, Ventnor, N. J. Born 1905 Entered from Westtown School in 192J. Tennis Team (2, 3. 4), Numerals (2). H (3): J. V.

Vice-President (4); Permanent Class Treasurer; Store Committee (4). Forsythe is a man with the most astounding capacity for work that we have seen. Rooming alone on the third floor of South, he has won his way to the top of the class scholastically; he is justly proud of a year ' s average of 92. His subtle way of mastering everything he sets out to do has deserved much comment, serious and otherwise. It is not only marks that he has conquered; with the same steady persistence he mastered the business end of the l ews, and the appearance if this book will bear witness to the successful pessimism he has used in class meetings. John ' s ability as a member of the tennis team typifies him very well. With none of the outstanding brilliance that Webster was v ' ont to show on occasion, his steady, jnwavering game could always be counted on and won for him the name of the .Tiost consistent player on the team. He thoroughly believes in his method of attack- ing problems, and when he starts practicing law, we, like the head of a certain business firm with whom he came into contact, will want to have his address. WL ' Q£C02Dm7ti ALBERT VANN FOWLER 531 Oak Street, Syracuse, N. Y. Born 1904 Entered in 1923. Editor of RECORD; Corporation Scholar (2): Y Cabinet (4): Classical Club; Scientific Society: Chairman of Liberal Club; Class Treasurer (2). A lively curiosity tor the fundamental realities of life, and keen insight into plans tor makina the world a better place, characterize this philosophically inclined youth His clearsighted ideas are not too theoretical to be occasionally applied to our college l te The Liberal Club stands out as a monument to his attempts to better the outkxik ot the College; and radical movements, even those sponsored by the Hew btudent have had no more ardent advocate on the campus than Albert. Few will ever know ot the influence that Owler has had on the corrupt Y. M. C. A. through his being the roommate of the president. That organization owes him an oblation as deus ex machma. but we doubt if this will ever be paid. We shall tactfully omit all reterence to his being the editor of this Record. Falbert Owler is known in the Mtth Entry as a gcxid hand at bridge, and important indeed must be the affairs of state which can drag him out of a session with the pasties.- In some way he has conie to be ranked among the foremost students of the College: a consistently high average and a Corporation Scholarship sophomore year be ' ir witness to his prowess in the scholastic line.

Boisterous to a fault, his medical ambitions will probably quell any future childish uprisings. Everybody enjoys Johnnie, up to a point, and his ever-present smile has been a standby for late arrivals at breakfast. Possessed of a strong voice and a stronger arm there is no one harder to suppress or out-shotput. Rather socially inclined. Sherman still insists on playing his own bridge and his idea of the game has been the severest test of our good natures. Playfulness and volubility are characteristic of all social relationships with this light-hearted and light-thoughted Alexandrian. A slight ten- dency to practical joking has been noticed by some, especially Vogel after the famous dumping incident. As to the extent of his correspondence, just ask Roland. It naturally takes a lot of food to supply the energy ' necessary to keep up the strength of this man of might — at soccer, too, he is dangerous to bump into — and Fowler is sure death and destruction to any extra food in his vicinity.

H (4): Manager of Baseball; Assistant Business Manager of Haver ordian (2): Scientific Society. Eddie has perhaps the most paradoxical personality in the class of 27. From his football record one might think there was but one side to Eddie — a strictly serious one which would lead him to captain the Reserve team for four years and prevent him from missing more than two practices during the entire period. He has, how- ever, consistently proved the existence of a totally opposite nature. His disposition for the less serious pastimes even led him to engage in the art of decorative but literal mud-slinging upon one occasion, while his ability to make facetious remarks dunng the course of extremely beneficial lectures has caused at least two professors much wasted effort in attempts to reform the culprit. Possibly this predilection of Eddie ' s for effervescent expression has given him the name of ' Monkey, but he deplores this as proof of that same lack of seriousness on the part of his classmates who use the title. Another indication of Eddie ' s complex personality comes to light whenever his depredations cause any real physical or mental discomfort; his repentance at such times is a joy to behold, for Eddie is the first man to give you the shirt off his back.

Grover is an mterestmg combmation of the flippant with the serious. To a casual acquaintance, say a Br ' n Mawr damsel, he might appear entirely frivolous with numerous expressions such as What I mean! and Tight as an owl, but those who know him better have unearthed a serious, almost idealistic side. Olive ' s capacity for empty hut amusing conversation is probably unequalled in he class; he scatters such adjectives as lewd around in the most approved style of rake, with almost no foundation for them. His own wit at times amuses Groner perhaps as much as it does anyone else; when he invented nicknames such as Falbert Owler and Wheeling Bennard his laughter nearly overcame him, and by repeating them often enough around the Fifth Entry accompanied by his inimitable wink he has ensured their lasting immortality. He has the distinction of a longer membership on the News board than anyone in college, and in the face of resignations right and left this is no small accomplishment. His love for music won him a place on the Glee Club, and after three years effort he has obtained a season seat in the Family Circle for the Philly orchestra.

Bill Hdlstead has probably done more to spread the name of Havertord than any other undergraduate in recent years. Always interested in mechanical and scien- tific things, he developed the Radio Club until it had secured the backing and was ready to operate one of the most powerful broadcasting stations in Pennsylvania. The technical skill and business ability which were necessary to carry on this work may be inferred from the later account of the Radio Club. It is much to be regretted that the broadcasting cannot be continued after this year. Bill thought so, too, and in disgust has turned his attention to the operation of a new Mercer. Bill entered our class in junior year from the class of 26 after an i llness and enforced vacation in California. After causing the Dean some worry because of his heavy radio work and consequent inattention to studies, he has managed to pull through. Possessing a rather quiet personality, Halstead impres,ses you with the force of his persuasion — he seldom comes off second best in a business deal — and his initiative in doing things in his own way. Whatever he takes up after college, we feel sure that he will not be working for others very long.

Heller if pnihahly the truest scholar in the class. His genuine love for Latin and Greek combined with his honors work in English and the Cbpe Fellowship to crown the whole bears witness to his real scholarship. John has had a very active lite during the course of his four years here: he has taken a leading part in managerial work, Y. M. C. A., and class politics, and has engaged in more diversified activities than anyone else in the class. Associated with the aggressive Student Council led by Marshall, he was defeated for re-election because of the bold course of action taken by the Council. Rather quiet and not very talkative, John completes whatever he takes up in a most sincere and persistent manner; in fact, at times he might be called obstinate. He is serious in all that requires serious thought and consideration, but when the occasion for hilarity and nonsense comes along, John takes his place with the best. A certain trip to the Western wheat fields in a very uncertain Ford might be mentioned in this regard, as well as periodic scraps with his roommate Fowler.

Reserve, temperament, balance, lack of nerves (not nerve), athletic ability and quick judgment characterize Stew. Of the first we are always aware. It doesn ' t interfere with friendliness or companionship but makes us surer that when Stew speaks he is generally worth hearing. Temperament need not be qualified. To the credit of balance and nerves we have moving picture hero episodes of climbing Barclay and the Gym. We sincerely believe that Hoskins will be the first one of the class to break his neck. Not content with records in the pole vault and the track cap- taincy, Stew entered fixitball, senior year, and ran away with a Varsity position. A hard worker in anything he entered, it was a joy to watch him enter five events in Freshman Track and win them all. The attempts of this fair-haired lad to assume the dignity necessary to him as headwaiter at times approached the ludicrous but some trace of honesty in Stew made him laugh as hard as the rest in the end. Ever susceptible, Hoskins has found the fair sex interesting, to the improvement of many Proms. We cannot avoid placing him among the first of the class whom we expect to leave bachelor ranks.

Bill, althdugh .ipparcntly not one ot the shining lights of our class during his earliest days at Havcrford, has blossomed t)ut into one of the more important members of late. In fact. Bill himself will heartily agree with us in this respect, even going so far as to doubt Uncle Billy ' s complete ownership of the college. Senously speaking. Bill ' s activities in tennis have certainly made him indispensable to a successful spring sports season, and his business ability has been proved on more than one occasion — his management of the football department being perhaps the least significant of his various adventures. The majority of the class will long remember his wheedling arguments, junior year, that they should be sure not to miss the joy their fathers had denved from the ownership of class canes as mementoes of college days. In his senior year. Bill ' s sales talk seemed to have degenerated into a repetition of the fact that his wares were certainly hot stuff. Indeed, rumor has it that this expression was not confined to the business world, but that it could be heard quite regularly in Bill ' s vicinity applied to matters which apparently had little connection with the realm of high finance. t £ ' QECOW ' m% m LEOPOLD SEYMOUR LIPSITZ 454 Kaighn Avenue, Camden, N.

Who is this man who attaches himself to your elbow and relates a colorful tale of an adventurous lite, interspersed with remarks regarding a medical career and the cul- tural side of life: ' It is the Camden Comet, whose chief joy in life is the pleasure he gets in playing ftxithall and talking about it. Now, when Charlie Rogers and I were over at Camden High, he will begin, and then you know you are lost. You are due for a tale of hurtling bodies and thumping leather, of flying tackles and mad end runs. The shock of our young lives was received when Lip proved that he could play real fa)tball, notably in the Penn game of 1925. The senous aspects of life seem to find most favor in Leo ' s eyes, and his equal has not been discovered for steady consistent work at the books. He is apparently rather intolerant of the ribald conversation which amuses the tables he may be waiting on and into which he is sometimes drawn long enough to make a few cutting retorts. He is prone to believe whatever he is told (or likes to give that impression), and the mock-serious manner in which he receives periodic tips that he has flunked Physics evokes much laughter from the senior tables. Lip — Leo ' Hoji«t _v, that Physics is the worst course in college. [ .19 r £ VLCOWJQZT ' i JOHN CROZER LOBER 347 Aubrey Road, Wynnewood, Pa. Born 1903 Entered from Haverford School in 1923. J. V.

Permanent Class Secretary. Fine scholastic ability, conservative gocid sense, and a decided penchant for bridge and other games are combined in John. Without nearly as much time and effort as the rest of us expend he is able to outstrip the best students in the class. Because of more serious attractions among the fair sex during senior year, Lober has been devoting less and less time to college activities. John always showed a capacity for the practical, and generally knew pretty well what he was aiming for when he began anything. This feeling for the business end of activities brought him the manage- ment of the Cap and Bells Play as well as that of the Tennis team, and earned him the place of chairman of the Store Committee. Though a trifle reserved with casual acquaintances, Lober is as cordial and sympathetic among his friends as you could wish: members of 27 in South Barclay rally to his political standard. When not in Wynnewood for the evening or week-end, or engrossed in a directors meeting, he is apt to be discussing Marti ' s Ethics course or the latest peculiarity in college adminis- tration, for he is one of the leaders of South Barclay thought.

Bob for the past two years has been laboring under grave difficulties. Being Foster ' s roommate has not permitted him to shine in his true light. In fact we have often wondered how Fos kept his trousers so neatly pressed. This remained a deep mystery and we only realized Bob ' s real position when he was seen to run all the way to Menon one afterm n to waken his better half, who was recuperating from a strenuous week-end. Despite this position. Bob has managed to become one of our stars in both football and track, even captaining the former team. Aside from being a faithful spwuse to Fos, Bob has become famous as one of the richest men on the campus. We cannot decide whether this is due to the prosperous front he assumes under a Truly iron hat or whether it may be blamed on the shoe business; Arm- strong, when approached on the latter subject, replied that Mr. Geuting was still looking for Bob. Bob ' s devil take it attitude and his knowledge of international affairs (gleaned in moments of weakness from History 7) will be sure, however, to carry him as far in farming as he might otherwise go in public life.

Ches, the senior of us all in age, has had to prove his serious intentions hy accomplishing the feat of getting through college in three years. Honors work in mathematics and German are merely additional items to him, as shown by his serious half-quizsical expression and his ability to keep to his own business. He relaxes once in a while from his .serious studies to answer the call of the other members of the f(x) gang to come do a few problems before going to class, and has even been known to be led astray by them to the movies, on very rare occasions, however. As a purveyor of extra ice creams in return for promises of math problems done by Saunders, Ches shows us the weakness of his good nature. His seriousness is more apparent in the way in which he trains for track and practices at his violin in his spare time (to the benelit of the Instrumental Club, but hardly of the other inmates of his Lloyd asylum), and as substitute headwaiter he supplies all the dignity Hoskins tries to assume with a little good service in addition. His charactenstic hard work and aim to serve should make a very line teacher. r £ ' QccowiW ALLEN GRAFF POWELL Wynnewixid and Highland Aves., Merion, Pa.

Allen is the man who never brought a girl to a college dance until junior year, and never missed a dance or a Saturday night after that. In one short year, this rather modest youth was transformed into an escort of no mean ability. He has gathered unto himself an assortment of eligible dates unequalled in the vicinity, and his main problem seems to be, Who is the lucky girl for tonight? He had quite a task on his hands as the Musical Clubs manager, but acquitted himself of his duties very well, and somehow had the members rounded up in good shape just in time for the performances. His managerial prerogative of arranging concerts came in very handy when he decided to give a concert at Lower Merion, for the benefit, we suspect, of one girl. His love for music is also witnessed by constant attendance at Philadelphia Orchestra concerts and his confidence in Stokowski is inspiring. He is always willing to act as a super in the opera, and his portrayal of the inebriate soldier in Faust, and the stern captain in Aida, will ever be remembered by Philadelphia opera-goers. Al Tsjo, the concert for Friday was called off. 43 f c vmpwjQZ? ' m m H GEORGE HANSEN RENNINGER ?17 E. Oakdale Avenue, Glenside, Pa. Born 190i Entered liom Abington High School in 1923.

We had reat hopes of George when he moved to the Fifth Entry and became a senior, but when he started a Back to South and a Neo-Rhinie movement we saw that it was a reversion to type, and nothing could be done aKiut it. He says that he has become so used to beintr taken for a freshman that he finds himself signing his name Renninger, . 0. George often strikes a mid-Victonan attitude, and his sugary sayings such as I ' m so misjudged and How could you suspect me of those words, have kept many a party and informal gathering in a constant state of hilanty. He is a Cap and Bells man on three counts and by conviction. Picture his embarrass- ment when Glee club. Instrument club, and Play rehearsals all came on the same niaht at the same time. Besides his artistic efforts and his in terest in the embryo laii-Birds Club, he takes Bryn Mawr College and similar institutions very senously, and IS partly responsible for the slogan, Bryn Mawr women are advertised by their loving friends.

In Rorer we find a lover of debate and a devotee of the pleasures incident to the pursuit of fair women. Assii;nments, exams, and other deterrents seem to hold him back not at all; but if there is a debate to prepare for, the mosC languishing of telephone sighs cannot avail to lure him forth. Even his friends are deceived by the earnest appearance of his broad brow and honest eyes behind those intellectual l(X)king spectacles. Only his frank confession that he doesn ' t believe a word of it re- assures them eventually. Herb was one of the first to blaze the trail to Bryn Mawr during Rhinie year, and it is said that he can hold his own in conversation with the best (if the Bryn Martyrs. After a thorough survey of the whole college. Herb has evolved what he believes to be a non-beatable percentage rating for each girl.

With a rather slow, matter-of-fact manner of speaking, Ira overawes you at first by the mere weight of his words which flow in even succession. Gradually as you discover that profound thought does not always accompany his conversation you come to know Ira as one who gets an immense deal of amusement out of life. His capacity for sound, logical thinking should not he overkxiked, how-ever, for as a de- bater and critical philosopher he is surprisingly able. Without a doubt there is no one to compare with Ira in his ability to send people into fits of hilarity by the gravity of his mock-senousne.ss. Whenever he has anything to say, in class meeting or Marti ' s Ethics course, he delivers himself of it with ponderous nonchalance that is apt to rouse much hearty laughter, though meant in all seriousness. In a huddle on the football field when a play was being discussed in rather heated terms Heifle- finger ' s self-confidence expressed itself thus: Boys, everyKidy ' s talking too much.

We need not mention Stan ' s many activities — you can review them above. His seriousness of purpose has won him all sorts of responsibilities, from finding a soccer referee on two hours notice to discussing what ' s wrong with the Aavey ord T ews in Latin. He is so serious in an argument that he impresses you more by the force of his conviction than by anything he says, which is sometimes little enough. He is always ready, however, to lay aside his seriousness to scrap with his roommates or indulge in other foolishness, and he has been known to spend hours seriously ponder- ing over what ' s funny in the old story, and then he got off. In spite of being presi- dent of the Y. M. C. A., Stan allows himself to be led into radical measures by his roommate the Owler (although we believe certain attractions from Bryn Mawr are also responsible), and has spent vain hours trying to reform history classes. In spite of all his activities, too, he retains a formidable sense of modesty, so much so that it often goes too far, as when he bets he won ' t get any A ' s or won ' t make the debat- ing team.

The as- siduity and fervor with which he attacks his opponent are matched only by the extraordinary originality of his arguments. We have noted, however, that Bill usually gets the family money. The startling effects of his awkward ingenuity in conversa- tion have served to entertain many a party, and whatever else happens, his ability to chuckle at himself and the world has won our real admiration. This unfailing good nature has often helped us over our petty failures, and makes his companionship in any undertaking always a pleasure. With his characteristic earnestness George has gathered up the loose threads of several activities which seemed doomed to oblivion and put them back into place. His efforts in behalf of the Press Club have preserved an organization which does much good work for the college, while interest in debating has revived under his management. Persevering effort and interest in writing have brought him recognition as a poet from both the Haver jordian and the IntercoWegiate World.

Bill shows promise of being the engineer of the elass. His euriosity to see how the wheels go round is unlimited, and usually results in the right solution. His great- est hobby is making model airplanes and showing the Dean how a boomerang w orks. Having made a careful study of the sea-gull when in Atlantic City with the Musical Clubs, he is almost ready to announce his new style of airplane. BilTs record as an athlete proves that he is one of the best in the class: captaining the baseball team for two seasons and being picked for All-Amencan center forward on two soccer teams is certainly something to be proud of. But that doesn ' t mean much to Bill — it ' s all part of his natural love for play. The perpetual soccer game in front of Lloyd IS merely one way in which he works it off. But when he gets his glasses on and yells for Fay and Ches to come do math, you know he means business. And when he goes with Herm Compter towards a certain co-educational institution in West Phila delphia, you know that someone is due for a good time.

This hairy little fellow, muscular too, like a monkey, is always to he found wherever Haverford is represented — he even supported the debating team on a trip. He somehow managed to iind his mandolin in time for all the Musical Club concerts, and the Hudson is always at hand for a fcxitball or basketball game, ac- companied by two charming sisters or even an unrelated female. It might have been his size, or more likely the responsibility of shaving at fourteen, but Watson never lets his impulses get the better of him. His caution goes so far that he will never hazard a guess at Dr. Rittenhouse ' s questions, or take Heller ' s directions on a road he has never seen before. His behavior is unassailable when stopped by a motor- cycled wearer of the Ardmore police uniform — say nothing whatsoever and he can ' t have anything on you.

Having once heard him deliver his sentiments in his forceful way in class meeting, no one dares to oppos; him in public, and so the outbreaks are confined to an occasional nocturnal battle in 16 Lloyd. His famous roar accurately describes the feelings of an old bear. Charlie ' s training as a gentleman always overcomes him in the end, however, and at any social function he is a shining light. He soon felt the need of something more to add to his dignity, and allowed his upper lip to sprout, a phenomenon which is beginning to take on the appearance of a mustache. Perhaps all his impulsiveness is the result of an artistic temperament, which is revealed in his fine musical ability and his love for gtxjd art and literature. As piano soloist he has delighted many audiences at the Musical Club concerts of the last two years, while he likes nothing better than his pipe and a good book — when he can find them. The trials of Rhinie year and a room in Merion were almost too much for his memory as to the whereabouts of such trivial things as b(X)ks, but since then conditions have been much improved.

Assistant Manager of Tennis (3): Second Prize in Biblical Lit- erature (3): Scientific Society: Classical Club, Vice- President (4). As a Rhinie, Totten was one of the large number who were trying to find what college was all about, and the memory of the slight lad in wide collar, bow tie, and bib is one to be treasured. Such interesting places as Philly ' s Arch Street theatres held Burr ' s attention for a while — just long enough, we suspect, for him to become familiar with the unaccustomed freedom after Choate ' s restraint. During the years that followed. Burr developed into one of the more collegiate fellows about Haverford; his activity on the golf course and intramural baseball field testify to this inclination. In fact, all in- tramural sports find an ardent supporter in Burr, and his enthusiasm for Founders against South has kept things moving in dining-room conversation. After Paul White (of feline and monkey fame) left for Penn, Burr decided to devote himself more consistently to his studies. Always a man who could boast a good average, he be- came one of the competitors for Corp. Scholarships, and in lunior year he held his own against Sargent and Fowler. He has won a reputation as an earnest crammer, somewhat after the Forsythian manner, and among his other college ambitions stands a Phi Bete key with its contingent reward. Burr ' Well, bdv.

His running and passing and all-around field generalship have made him a star on the football team for the last two years, while his swift aggressiveness on the tennis court has been one of the team ' s mainstays. We first learned of his business ability by hearing him tell of his successful negotiations v ' ith Howard for dance music at the Junior Prom — all those who attended the Prom will vouch for his success. We have now become so used to hearing him talk and like it so well that we elected him our permanent class president: while the rest of the college must acknowledge his leadership in the affairs of the Students ' Association. All these activities, with a few other, social and musical, thrown in, coupled with an aristocratic tendency to seclude himself in Mcrion, have made it hard for most of us to know Fos in that intimate-foolish way we regard our ordinary classmates. Perhaps the best picture we have of him is his daily breathless skirmish for breakfast five minutes late. I WL ' QECOWigMt i ■ i Dick Ex-Mcmhers MAIS OU SONT LES NEIGES D ' aNTAN? A class Record is never considered complete without a fev.- reminiscences of the ex-memhers of the class — the old faces that we used to shake hands with while they were still yo-yo- ing here on the campus of dear old Haverford. The class of 1927 started out in life with almost seventy members and will end its career this June with thirty-three of that number graduatmg. Seldom in the history ot the college has there been such a dwindling of numbers in a single class, nor for such a variety of reasons, either. Some of the late lamented gave up college to enter the business world, others transferred their studies to more specialized training schools, others entered the so-called blissful state of matnmony, others left because they were insufficiently urged to stay, while still others merely left. The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones, and so for this reason in exposing to the light a few facts from the past lives of our former classmates, we must emphasize the good they did and lightly gloss over the bad. One of the first men missing was Francis Nolan, whose absence on the football team of our sophomore year was keenly telt. Pat was the first class officer we had, being elected freshman temporary chairman. He made his letter in fcxjtball and was one of the most active members of our class. Long will be remembered his ultimatum to the sophomore snow-ballers! T. P. Winslow also left college about the same time as Nolan. Another man who made his football letter in his Rhinie year was Bill Albert, who early proved to Coach Harmon that he was a great lineman. P iH returned to college dunng our junior year and was elected to Beta Rho Sigma, but left soon afterward and is again out in the wide, wide world. The intrepid Hallock will always be remembered as the man v ho defied the sum- mons of the awful hazing committee, and remained away from cheer and class meet- ings with perfect equanimity. Unfortunately Hallock had to drop out of college on account of poor health, and has since been recuperating from a break-down suffered shortly afterward. Robert Wile, after a tumultuous semester at Haverford, went back to his home in New York. His greatest claim to fame was being knocked out in the famous push- ball contest and being brought back to life by a well timed cheer of his classmates. Don Alden, who had the hard job of bringing up Hoskins and Rutherford in the way all Rhinies should tread, moved to California in the summer of 1924, and we lost thereby one of the natural leaders of our class. Don was elected to the Stu- dent Council and was one of the active spirits in organizing a class debating stKiety. He has been making a name for himself for the past three years in Leland Stanford University. Walter Gruber dropped out of college for a year and is now in the class of 192S. His nximmate and inseparable btxin companion, the wily Sparacino, left with him and is now at Lehigh University. Both these men were members of the famous Freshman- Iimior dance committee. Sh! the Dean might hear! { WL ' QECOWIQZT ' Q WL VBCOWmT ' i ¥ William Scott, artectionately known as ■ Scotty, left at the end of freshman year and when last seen was still in the vicinity. Frederick Farquhar, noted for the vacant expression he could assume at will in Latin class, and Walter West were day students and we didn ' t have much chance to get acquainted with them before we discovered they were no longer with us. Dan Coxe and his gang are still traditions although three years since departed from the scenes. Dan, who decided to come to Haverford after a year at Yale, again tned out his old Alma Mater after leaving here and is attending Yale dramatic school. This was somewhat of a shock to some of us who always suspected him of having a leaning to butter and eggs instead of this side of the stage. Neilson is back on the farm up in Connecticut raising dogs and incidentally h — 1, we ' re sure, although the latter has not been authenticated. Cap Haines, when last heard fromi was in Mexico, and is expected by his old friends to be announced as the next Presi- dent of that turbulent country. Anyhow , we know that he can keep things pretty well stirred up down there. Franklin Cook chose reform as his hobby and thereon hangs a tale — of woe for Frank at the hands of the incensed hazing committee. Frank was the first President of our class and one of the bright lights in ridiculing the said committee during their fruitless cake hunt in the gym and later during the performance. His persistent efforts against hazing were influential in bringing about the reorganization of that system in 1924. He IS now studying at Northwestern Medical School. Egerton Sawtelle, despite Lober ' s training, couldn ' t stand the strain. He found out that an antique Ford is a very p(xir car to take one to New England with any degree of surety as to time of return to college and the usual class. Eg is now working for a road construction company but finds time to drop m on his old friends on the campus. Dick Gott left us at the end of two years to go to Louisville Medical School after taking the hardest schedule of courses ever heard of at Haverford. Besides accomplishing this feat, Dick also found time to play in the Musical Clubs for two year? and the Gott trombone is still remembered from the night of the Swarthmore basketball game three years ago m the Mary Lyons gym. His persuasive voice came intC ' Its element on the debating platform and was a big factor in winning the Soph- Fresh debate in 1925. Dick was Secretary of the class the second half of his sophomore year and it was with great regret that wc noticed his absence the following fall. r £ ' Q£C02VW27 ' Q T C vlcowjW Eg Gordon Halstead had to drop out of college on account of poor health, June, 192i, expecting to return some time later. After waiting and waiting with no signs of Gordon, we learned that he had transferred to Syracuse University and is now studying tor the ministry! Picture, gentle reader, a fashionable young man about town, sud- dcnly renouncing the flesh and the devil and deciding to become a minister! Here you have a picture of Gordon Halstead, one of the former well-known college shieks. It just goes to prove that you never can tell. Alvin Victor Dempsey, Esq., disregarding the old maxim — ■ he who cannot sing hut insists upon singing should be shot — blithely went through his two years at Haverford regaling his Iriends with ribald pirate and drinking songs, of which Oh! I am a gay Cavaliero is worthy of special mention. If a trembling operatic voice was heard above the sounds of soup in the dining room, be sure it was Ben breaking forth into song. His chief interest was chemistry and he served as assistant in the Chem Lab despite the famous sulphuric acid spilling incident, which almost ruined Wile on the floor below. Ben took an interest in extra-curricular activities and was an assistant basketball manager. Charlie Clement decided after a two year ' s sojourn at Haverford that he would become a big hotel and inn man and transferred to Cornell where he is studying with that end in view. Having survived living with Franklin Cook for a year, Charlie moved over into quieter quarters in Lloyd with Baldwin and Richie, ' 26. Part of his creed of life was wearing a continual smile which indicated very well his happy dis- position. Paul Ohl must be considered primarily the hero of the famous Rhinie-Soph eym battle of our second year. When he had kept fifteen Rhinies from entering the gym en masse for some time and was finally pitched out the window, he miraculously appeared almost instantly in another part of the building with the slight misfortune of having had his pants almost entirely ripped off. Although a day student, Paul was numbered among the gang of Room ?0, Founders Hall which kept things stirred up for F (x) all sophomore year. Paul is always seen at all the college functions and is unofficially still one of us. Paul White will long be remembered as the protagonist of the gentle art of the cat call and his cry of the maiden cat is quite famous. In the dead silence of morning collection as Uncle Billy arose and adjusted his glasses, in the quiet during a foul shot at basketball games, a plaintive, feline wail could be heard and all eyes immediately sought White. P.iul was also one of the charter members of the Rubber Duck Society. He is now at Penn, has adopted a fur coat, and the other accessories of Penn life. Wilmer Miller joined the class of ' 27 in our initial year, transferring from the Colorado School of Mines. Diz was known as one of the most eccentric and yet efficient fcwtball players Haverford has ever had. The wild and woolly tactics of this man, throwing off his head-gear, tearing like a demon about the field and always getting his man were a big attraction at the games one of the much sought first tenors and. .ilthcmgh he has been out of college for two years, he has continued his relations with the Musical Clubs and was on the Atlantic City trip this winter. 61 lrran Diz was I ZHL VLcowmr ' Q Franklin Sanders, philosopher and cynic, had a better line-up on every man in college than the Dean or even Cap. His brain was a card index of facts about his classmates. Frank ' s caustic comments were always tempered with a laugh just to prove that what he was saying wasn ' t to be taken too seriously. We felt sorry that he left us during junior year but he felt the call of the business world and couldn ' t content himself any longer in the Halls of Learning. Randolph Winslow was the first man in Haverford ' s history whose father, grand- father and great grandfather were graduates of the college. Had he stayed with ui longer, he would doubtless have been an important member of the track and soccer teams. After spending a pleasant three years at Haverford College, John Hoag decidea that he was needed in the business world. His ardour to put the Frigidaire Company on its feet having cooled, he set about to rise higher, so climbed mountains in various parts of Switzerland and British Columbia. While an undergraduate, John played cricket and soccer for three years and was a member of the Instrumental club. He went abroad with the cricket team and while in Paris, one of the leading newspapers secured an exclusive interview with the international cricketer. This is only one of the many good efforts effected by this venturesome soul. His latest distinction is that of having the smallest automobile in the United States which he drives about in Philadelphia chaperoning bonds. Walter Huelle took a very active interest in college activities and his departure ai the end of junior year was a loss to our class. He was an assistant manager of foot- ball, sang in the Glee Club, played on the class football team, was President of the Press Club, and was leading binnacle in the Seamen ' s Club. Walt has been working on a boat since leaving college and when last heard from was plying between New York and Galveston. Franklin Curtis decided that the college course was entirely too long so graduated in the class of 1926. We understood vi ' hat this was all ah.3ut when we received an announcement of his marriage to Miss Gladys Powell in March, 1927. Charlie Rhoads. who transferred to Haverford from Penn in sophomore year, left us at the end of junior year, but this was also explained away by announcement of his marriage to Miss Ligne Peterson in February, 1927. Charlie guided the finances of our class through Junior Prom activities and brought them out in fine shape. We were more than sorry to see him go but wish him all the happiness in the world!

A group of bass-voiced, swags ering he-men snarled through the college halls on a chill September night, and seoi-rged out before them a shivering herd of ridiculous looking figures in flimsy night-clothes. The pathetic wretches were the class of 1927 in one of its most humble attitudes, and the bold marauders were only the sophomore class. We were but freshmen then, we didn ' t know. For the last time in college history there was a parade to Ardmore and a performance in front of the movies. Though we did our best, the masters were highly critical and expressed disapproval by the childish practice of pelting us with unmentionably ripe foodstuffs. The whole night was a flat failure from our standpoint, but some people seemed to enjoy it and we didn ' t seem to have much to say in the proceedings anyhow. The Rhinie cake-walk, followed by the pushball game (substituted for the more brutal scramble for the remains of the cake), was a high spot in the good efforts of our class. A goodly number of cakes were hidden in and about the gym several weeks before the event. A class meeting was called forty-eight hours before cake-walk night, and the cake committee held forth solemnly on the best way to get a cake into the gym. After the meeting they were rewarded by hearing stealthy steps steal away from the ventilators on the second floor. The word spread among the sophomores that no cake had yet been hidden. But on the appointed night a fine grei.n one was produced, and a pretty exhibition of acting was put on to soothe the wounded sophomore pride. In the ensuing pushball contest, held in the dusk of evening on the football field, it is rumored that dirty work by the juniors helped us win. One night we returned to our r(X)ms to find no pajamas. Immediately suspecting the sophomores, a small bunch of doughty Rhinies resolved to find them before dawn. After a few preliminary thrills, they succeeded in finding the pajamas strung on the roof of the gym, where the sophs had spent a night ' s work placing them. There was nothing left to do but take them down, which they proceeded to do, although some- what disturbed by a nightmare suffered by Pop in which he dreamt he was starting a race — and for once his pistol went off when he pulled the trigger. The sophomores were a greatly disappointed lot in the morning, while pajamas were the order of the day for students in the bug lab. Rhinie cake- walk heroics. Rhinies . )0 M X WC ' Q£COWlQ27 World War in miniature. Miss beard The sympathy of the class for future freshmen who would he pelted with snow- halls on the sophomore steps and meeting house walk without the pnvilege of returning _ . fire combined with our disgust at the cruel , .. , , work of the hazing committee to permanently destroy sophomore hazing at Haverford. This brought about the establishment of a Customs Committee, which, however high its purpose, did not manage to frighten the fresh- men quite so thoroughly as the stern taskmasters who had made us toe the line. Shorn of our power, we took only a half- hearted interest in what was done to the freshmen class that followed us. Some of our members who were on the Customs Committee tried to prove there was still a sophomore class in college, but it was not until the cake rush of our sophomore year that we really exhibited some latent ingenuity. The most exciting battle for a cake that has ever occurred reduced the gym almost to ruins. The merciless gassing of certain freshmen who hid in the loft above Pop ' s room protecting the cake won us the battle but put an end to cake-rushes. The methods of modern war seemed a little too efficient for the college authorities and a milder type of sport was substituted the next year. Having been victorious in both cake- rushes in which we took part, we gained the right to carry class canes and apparently we are the last class that can claim such distinction. Without the distressing hubbub that had accompanied our pajama night we decked out the dining room in as tasteful a fashion as our material would allow. We then troubled ourselves no more with the freshmen until the love feast which was feastless and loveless; our class had to crash the gate and was coldly welcomed by every- one. It was universally agreed that the next freshman class should be more inti ' mately presided over by the sophomores, and the resulting attitude of subsequent Rhinies has been less aloof. From sophomore year on we troubled ourselves with other classes on very rare occasions. During junior year we had the pleasure of being upset for several days over the disappearance en masse of our class canes; after tracing the outrage to the seniors in the Tower, we returned the compli- ment by greeting them one morning at breakfast with their Ford near the fireplace. It was a novelty to shout, Let her rip, boys, and a spasmodic leading of songs in senior year was the sole way we interfered with the peaceful careers of our sister classes.

' eJit Partner Volstead wins. during freshman year. For the sake of variety it was, of coiir ' c, iinpnssihlc that one should agree on how the class was to be managed, but a common basis of difference was at first rather difficult to find. After a bit, the men from Baltimore and Washington found that they had the nucleus ot a fine political machine, and .so all those of that latitude combined to give the class its first important political group. They devised a good serviceable constitution which the unorganized herd undertook to amend with great gusto. After some little debating a constitution was adopted that seemed very suitable, but which was seldom referred to in the subsequent four years except to be set aside when occasion demanded. A new influence crept into our political life when about the middle of our freshman year it became apparent that the senous thinking element of the class was fast isolating itself from the bons vivants and free livers. The two factions were spoken of as the wets and the drys, although the implied tendencies of the wets were not quite as obvious as one might suppose. On a wet and dry basis the class hewed its political planks (and pranks) through the last few months of freshman year, and would have continued to do so through the succeeding years as well except for the fact that the ever present factor of natural selection so reduced the wet ranks that a new division of parties became necessary. The questions decided by our several political parties were not world-wide in their import. It was only for the seeming advisability of having two sides to a question that there was any necessity for division at all. That aspect in human nature which create; the necessity for argument around the stove in the village store decreed that unanimous voting should be generally tabo(i in our class meetings. With the beginning of sophomore year a congenial group settled in South Barclay and decided to make it the class capital. In the manner of a true political club, they held mo.=t of their meetings very informally with pleasant card parties and directors ' meet- ings. A figure known as The Ratter was the big boss of South. Deans and .student councils were careful to see that Lober was not offended. South Barclay reached out its tentacles to enmesh other groups in the class and the resulting organiiation was finally to acquire the ascendancy for a time. The purity party had its virginal birth about the middle of our sophomore year. The aims and ideals of this group were ahive re- proach and it included much of the brains and ambition ot the class. They were heartily in favor during the early part of junior year but incurred the wrath of South Ultimatum to Barclay by distributing no- Wigwam braves.

Any more reports of this nature will necessitate your suspen- sion from college. The furore thus created finally subsided, but the well intentioned purity party came in for many hard looks and muttered curses for several subsequent weeks. At the first senior elections. Sir Rat and his ward politician, Sap Perring, put a permanent quietus on the aspirations of this group. A more cordial relationship prevailed be- tween the factions during senior year when less pronounced attitudes were taken by everyone. The only wave to ruffle our senior placidity was the discussion of the unlocked for results of Dr. Marti ' s little game of grades. Some thought that the game should be all in fun and no grades sent home, and the dean agreed for the first quarter. During the second quarter speculation was rife as to the final outcome of the game; and one of the strangest and warmest class meetings was called to discuss the situation. No less than three people ever had the floor at once, some wanting to call it off and others thinking it best to endure the hardships; finally, out of pure exhaustion both groups gave up, and were pleased to relegate Croce to a back shelf after the exam, which had not brought any serious results.

In the glow of commence- ment we see that we always thought the other fellow had just as valid ideas as we did, but of course it takes all kinds of arguments to make a class meeting. The class was socially more active as individuals than as a group. We found ourselves in the role of mine host . ' ■ O ' ' ' o- 1 .- ctal career. on hut rour P. H occasions — the freshman- H junior dance, the sophomore- senior dance, the Junior Prom, VVniicr and the still visionary Senior Prom. The first mentioned 1923, and we took the atfair very seriously. The idea was to give our big brother, helping-hand juniors, a whale of a good time, if we had to hold the dance at Camden to make it a success. Being a little young and wild, we were watched by some important authorities who kept their ears to the ground to see just what kind of a dance this was to be. The whisper flew about the campus there would be no dance after all, and sure enough the freshman-junior dance never came off. Luckily, however, a kind old Santa Claus happened to invite the freshmen and junior classes to a private dance at his big house, and rescue we let the matter drop. We hadn ' t wanted to give a dance, anyway. After a riotous evening we staggered home all eager for a needed rest. Unfortunately, the sophs, jealous at being left out of the merry-making, precipitated a class war which dumped all classes from their beds to the flixir and was terminated only by the valorous conduct of Lord with his broad-sword. Sophomore year had not mlled far on its cour.se before some of the wise and crafty heads of our class got together on a new and unheard of matter. This college, Thf CowPdsture occurred early in the winter of The Garden Dogwood r C ' QCCOWJQZT ' Q m (  they said, shall have a sophomore-senior dance, and we are willing to give our class the honor of creating such a custom. We are not giving this dance as a sponta- neous or capricious whim, we are making the arfair a customary social event (so we ' ll get one in return) ! Silver-tongued speeches convinced the class that this was indeed a rare opportunity. It was with the great- est pleasure that the class of 27 introduced one of its most pleasant and, we hope, lasting innovations in re- gard to college customs. The dance was a success, though the committee laid bare the treasury in a well meant effort to secure the most toe-teasing music in Philadelphia. We came home from the Merion Golf Club resolved that the sophomore-senior dance was worth the ravished coffers. That every Junior Prom is better than the one be- fore It IS obvious to an experienced Record reader. This tendency must, however, approach the finite limit which we consider our Prom to Our other affairs had been boyish, informal-seeming displays when matched with the regal occasion in our junior year. The gym was carefully disguised as a ballroom, no dumbbell or chest weight was left exposed, and efficient library shelf systems were arranged for circulating partners. The music flowed on till the morning hours and it came dawn. It was our big splurge, and we felt that now the college knev.- what great Junior Proms must be like. Our Senior Prom will presently be danced. It ends our social history and we hope it will do so fittingly. Tlii I ' J tht Hcrsc ' Jnen have achieved.

The Bridge of Sighs The action and reaction of our class on the aspects of college which are relatively permanent has been instrumental in bringing about several changes in the Haverford organism itself. Deans, faculties, and boards of managers are constantly in contact with student opinion, and since the c ollege is run so as to give the student a balanced education, with the changing needs of the students change the august decrees of the powers that be. In freshman year we attempted to change nothing; our sole object was to make the best of things as they were. If custom said that we were cut only eight times during a quarter, we did our best to cut exactly eight times. Rumor had it that not to laugh in certain classes was a distinct breach of discretion, and s ime of our early algebra classes were merry affairs indeed. Loyally following the example of the upper classes, we did our part in condemning the so-called food that it was our lot to eat in the dining room and were punished for our meddling by having our meals changed into a strange orgy that ended with an immense and undecorative heap of milk bottles piled about the floor. It was with pleasure that we returned next fall to the old communal type of serving dishes and milk pitchers. If our eating was to improve so must our dnnking, and it was not long before fountains began to appear about the campus in ansv. ' er to numerous J ews editorials and subtle suggestions from students. These foun- tains invariably gave off a warm, pleasant stream with an aged-in- the-pipe flavor. The dubious success of this agitation for increased Kidily comforts set the student body off on a more fruitful track. Radical reformers noised about insidious propaganda for the permission of unlimited cuts. Of course, no one considered the mat- ter as more than a remote vision of some Uto- pian dreamer and great was the surprise when Dean Palmer began to take measures to have the system actually instituted. The plan proved a success and despite the numerous strings tied to our unlimited cuts the student body seems to appreciate this step forward in making the college regime less arbitrary. The Uncertain Ford 79 The rising of the waters. { ' C £ VLCOWjgZT ' i i Winter Spoit Make Collection more man a roll call, said the CurriculuiT Ccmimittec, and our class heard the call of duty. Three memben of 27 spoke in Collection during senior year with marked success This was hardly an attempt to eliminate the roll call atmosphere Bl from Collection since each speaker had a message of some sort and ' was not really seeking to amuse or interest the students. Sad to say the eagle-eyed man with a little green book may still be seen upon the platform of a Tuesday morning, and the master of the vineyard continues to give unto each man a penny. We appreciate the constant improvements in Collection programs, however, and leave the situation a more attractive inducement to persons who are troubled at getting out of bed on the colder winter mornings to start the day with a helpful thought or two. It is noticeable how slightly the subject of scholarship is treated in records of the history of a class. One of the important departments of college life ia the course of study, but the matter is usually considered rather prosaic. V. Scholastic were only a moderately studious group; the good C student was attainments. j man-in-the-street and flanking him were the two extremes Corporation scholarships circulated with monotonous regulanty among John Lober, John Heller, Sam Cook, and Stan Sargent. Competition was keen enough to keep out all comers except Vogel and Fowler, but in junior year Forsythe took his place among the elect never to fall below a 92 average thereafter. An insidious influence crept in to lower our scholarly morale in senior year when a group of old standbvs threw study to the winds and decided to ' live a balanced life. At the better Hints of dining-r«im tables a warm discussion often took place between Fowler. revolt. Sargent and Forsythe on the subject of how much college men should study. At the other extreme of the class less fortunate men discussed the same sub- ject with the Dean in a more concrete manner. Wc have men who shone brilliantly in their chosen field and garnered marks that must go down in history. Compter ' s effort of 100 for a semester in Appreciation of Music will be hard for future appreciators to better, and the 99 credited to Sam CtX)k by Dr. Marti shows us that behind the cloak of the of a Greek philosopher. Rutherford holds his A in may sometimes meet the Vrom the approval of the professor sublime to - . , the ridiculous. ith greater success uhan knowledge. Several men have come forward with claims of dubious distinctions, such as the lowest mark ever obtained by a man in college, and the lowest average made by a student who passed all his subjects. Most of us drifted along without serious ups or downs, how- ever, and we leave our records behind w-ith the parting shot that we could have had A averages, too, just like the Corp. schol- ars, only who wants an A average any- Aleeting successful merchant lies the brain Etliic as .1 proof that inspiration I r c ' Qeco djW p t £ ' Q£COWlW% Football The record of Captain Middlcton ' s team — 126 points to the opponents ' 18 — is one that sets forth briefly and concisely the kind of football that Haverford played in 1926. It was a record hung up by a hard playing eleven whosj hearty enjoyment of a game of football cleared away the last of the down-and-out, hang-dog atmosphere that Coach Harmon has so successfully knocked out of football at Haverford. After a defeat at the hands of Johns-Hopkins in the first game of the seascm, the Haverford eleven battled through the rest of the games without another loss; one defeat, six victories and no ties was the final tabulation. Teams who were counting last fall on the Haverford mid-season let-down were, of course, deceiving themselves. Though the C. C. N. Y. game was the hardest contest which Haverford has won since the war, it did not succeed in taking the fight out of the Scarlet and Black. Drexel and Delaware were mastered in the two succeed- ing weeks, closing the season with six successive wins. The teams of St. Johns, Hamil- ton, Juniata, C. C. N. Y., Drexel and Delaware will continue to have a healthy respect for Haverford football, if future elevens can account for themselves as well as did Captain Middletons. Eight .seniors were awarded letters in 1926, four as regulars and four as first string substitutes. It needed a man with the happy disposition of the old iron horse to laugh off the sound beatings that fell to his lot as the man who bucked the line. Middleton went through the season without the slightest injury because he practiced that old maxim of football that the man who hits the hardest feels it the least. The melodious but mysterious southern accent in which he sometimes called signals makes one wonder why the huddle-system is not more necessary down in Dixie. Fos Webster ' s job of calling signals was such a big one that the rest of the team A bit of action r £ Qcccmp 1027 m thought that it was their duty to help select plays. Parliamentary rules for huddle discussion are not yet current but Fos somehow managed to select a fine hunch of plays despite the brain-disturbing jabber that went on about his ears. Webster was a good bit of the team morale. He broke into the varsity as a forward passer who could do nothing but pass, and subsequently became one of the best ball earners that has been at Haverford in years. The average tackle is spoken of as the giant tackle or some other name inferring extreme brawn and great physique. Ira Rutherford, however, preferred to be thought of as the tackling philosopher. Let s analyze it scientifically was the advice given to his teammates when a particularly ticklish situation was arising on the gndiron. Hefflefinger ' was a hard man for his opponents to get through. The sensation of the 1926 season was Stew Hoskins. In most other branches of athletics he had been known as a natural performer, but few expected to see a man of his weight the brilliant success that he was at football. Without a day ' s experience on a college gridiron, Hoskins came out for football in his senior year and stopped all competition for the left-end position. Throughout the season his tackling and pass receiving were notable factors in the team ' s success. Fay, Banks, and Lipsitz in the line and Gilson in the backfield were subs who received letters in 1926. Much of the credit for the success of the 1926 season must be given to the men from the lower classes who made the team what it was. Flint, 28, played a steady and dependable game at quarterback for the last two years and was elected to captain the 1927 eleven. The stellar open field running and passing of Tripp, 29, and the punting and line work of Egg Morns, a freshman, were features of play which could be counted on in every game. Dohan, 29, played his second year of varsity football at right end, while Murray, 29, and Milliken, 30, capably filled the difficult but unspectacular position of guard. Tommy ' Gawthrop ' s everlasting fight at center kept the team going and enabled him to outplay men thirty or forty pounds heavier. n I r £ ' QEcowim t The Caftains and Managers The first season of Haverford s«)ccer under the new Intercollegiate Association was a most successful one, the team ' s record of seven wins, two ties, and no defeats gaining it honorable mention with Princeton and Penn State as the three best teams in the league. The fact that only three men of the varsity team of the previous year remained from graduation gives great credit to Coach McPete for so successfully building up a new organization. Saunders, center forward from Captain Evans ' team, remained at his old position. Bill, playing his last year of college soccer, ful- filled all expectations and succeeded in amassing the highest number of points of any member of the team, a total of seven goals. His accurate passing may also be counted as contributing a great deal to the strength of the forward line. Captain Logan, All-American fullback in 1925, was back again to strengthen the defense. Richardson, one of the high lights of the 1925 scoring combination, could still be relied on, being moved, however, from an inside position to right wing. From the former Junior Varsity and third team McPete had to pick the rest of his team. In placing Alsop at goal the coach certainly displayed keen foresight in that the former saved manv a game for us by his dependability in a crisis. Jack Evans, former fullback on the J. V. team, retained his position on the Varsity and, despite the handicap of an injured knee during the majority of the season, could be depended upon to break up the opponents ' attack. The backbone of the team then had to be comjxised of men who had never seen Varsity ser ' ice before. Jimmy Maier was placed at left halfback and played an extremely steady and at times brilliant game. An infected leg kept him out of the line-up towards the end of the season, and his place was ably filled by Jack Marshall. Art Silver at center half played his first and last year of Varsity soccer. His ability to cover the entire field on defense and to feed the for- X5 r £ VECOWIQZT ' Q r £ ' QLcouvm m ward line on offense constituted no small part of the power of the team. Armstrong, also a member of ' 27, filled the remaining post. Perhaps we will best remember Sam ' s soccer when we think of the three uniforms he ruined in the mud battle with Toronto. Estes, center forward of the 1925 Junior Varsity, was put at inside right where his passing combination with Saunders and Richardson was more than effective. That Estes was the outstanding forward of the team may be shown by the fact that he re- ceived All-American mention and was chosen at the end of the season as captain for 1927. Danny Test alternated with McConaghy at inside left, both playing a fast clever game. Bert Gary at outside left developed into an e. tremely accurate shot, his total of six points being second only to Saunders seven. In spite of the lack of seasoned players at the beginning of the year the team, under the able training of Coach McPete, won the first two games from the Haverford Club and Lehigh, each by a score of 5-0. The next week Princeton, generally con- sidered one of the strongest teams in the east, was held to a tie, 2-2, for the third consecutive season. The exceptionally jxiwerful team of the Crescent Athletic Club, which had previously defeated Pennsylvania, was nosed out by one point. Directly following this game fell the blow which it was believed would end the chances for a successful season. Captain Logan, mainstay of our defense, left college and also an empty fullback position which apparently could not be filled by any ade- quate substitute. After trying several men in the position McPete finally settled on Vogel, ' 27. Carl as a Varsity man ably repulsed the majority of the opponents ' attacks for the remainder of the season. Bill Saunders, the (uily senior member of the team who had seen previous Varsity service, was chosen to captain the eleven. The same week, however, that saw this upset also saw a Haverford team rise above all obstacles and defeat a much improved Lafayette team by a two point margin. The Canadian team from Toronto was defeated the next week, 3-1, after enjoying a one point advantage at half time. And then came the most important game of the season, with Pennsylvania, who had defeated Haverford for five successive years. This year they had to be content with the short end of a 2-0 score, the fast passing attack of the Haverford team being too much for them. Swarthmore was defeated in the regular Haverft)rd style, 4-1. The last game on the schedule was with the Navy, who had an exceptionally strong team, having bowed only to Penn State and that by a small margin. After the full time and three extra periods had been played, the score was still 3-3, and Haverford was forced to be content with a second tie, but with a clean slate so far as defeats were concerned. t c vccowmT i mill I m The Bajijetbail Tcum Baskcthall Despite the tact that the conclusion of the 1925-26 basketball season warranted the loss of but one Varsity player, Captain Phil Garrett, through graduation, sub- sequent events made it very doubtful as to whether Haverford might expect a success- ful season or not. Jimmy Mitchell, counted upon to hold a regular position at guard, succumbed to the necessity of financial preparation for a matrimonial venture in the near future. An even greater loss was sustained, however, when Captain-elect Irish Logan dropped from the line-up a few weeks before the opening of the season. In the face of such handicaps the record of the team was noteworthy, while Coach Halas can once more be congratulated upon the way in which he trained the new material. The freshman class played a large part in ably filling the positions which had been vacated. Egg Morris proved himself the equal of any guard ever playing on a Haverford court, his only weakness being a more or less apparent lack of offensive tactics. Jerry Pearce, up until mid-years, played a fast, shifty, and aggressive game at forward. The two Supplce brothers joined in giving us a Junior Varsity team which could readily step into the Varsity positions w thout noticeably weakening the combination. In fact, for the first time the coach was able to put two teams upon the floor which were very nearly of equal strenth. Melchior, chosen to fill the captaincy on Logan ' s departure, showed his scoring ability throughout the season and especially in the Swarthmore game, in which he scored five field goals in the second half alone. Downward, starting the season at guard, was moved to forward upon Jerry Pearce s ineligibility, where his uncanny aim from the foul line made him a constant threat to the opposition. Thomas at center for his second year made pos- sible Halas ' system of offensive plays. The sixteen points Tommy ' scored against Princeton and his election as captain of next year ' s five will testify to his worth r c ' QLcowJW t to the team. Carl Vogel, playing his fourth year of Varsity basketball, was the only member of our class on the squad. Carl had a bit of trouble hitting his stride in the first pa rt of the season, being prevented from joining early practice because of his position on the soccer team. Soon after the opening of the season, however, Carl appeared at his former guard position and continued to display that brand of basket- ball which had earned for him the name of the hardest fighter on the team. In fact, many of us felt that had he not been injured in the first few minutes of the Pnnceton contest the final count might have been a bit different. Of the other mem- bers of the squad, Bevan and Mawhinney stand forth as the most reliable, the former playing regularly in Vogel ' s place during his injury, while Duke was the general utility man throughout the year. The rest of the men who constituted the Junior Varsity, Tripp, Hamilton, and Hunner, may be counted upon ne.xt year to give the members of this season ' s Varsity some keen competition for their positions. The first three games of the season were lost by close scores to Temple, Schuyl- kill, and F. and M., but by the third week the team had hit its stride, and defeated Moravian, then Drexel by the close margin of one point, proving that Haverford teams can come through in a pinch. Osteopathy and Textile were overwhelmed in practice tilts, and then Swarthmore was taken into camp by the same score as in last year, ?5-50. This game marked the height of the season in the effectiveness of the team ' s play. The flying pentagon from Washington were too good for Haver- ford, and Princeton won out in a very close game. Ursinus, however, was defeated in a game featured by very close guarding and fast floor work. Two more games were lost, to Stevens and Lehigh, while the final game of the season, with Delaware, was a victory for Haverford. The season ' s record of seven wins out of fourteen games is fairly successful, and with only one man graduating, indicates a more success- ful one to follow. Tennis The tennis team, judging by the number of victories it has had during the past few seasons, stands by itself as a successful team. Each year the schedules have become more difficult, until this year matches are arranged with Washington and Lee, Columbia, Rutgers, Swarthmore, Western Maryland, Wesleyan, and seven other colleges. With schedules consisting of from ten to fifteen matches a record of but one or two defeats is certainly enviable. In 1924 but one match was lost, to Swarth- more. Two matches were lost in 1925 by close margins, Wesleyan and Swarthmore both winning out. In 1926 a very successful season was played through, only two matches being lost and one tied out of thirteen played. The defeated institutions (most of them by scores of 5-1 or 6-0) included Osteopathy, Drexel, St. Joseph ' s, Delaware, Ursinus, Rutgers, Textile, Lafayette, and Stevens. The match with Franklin and Marshall was played to a tie, and Penn finally defated Haverford after a three-year dead- lock. The best-played match of the season was with Swarthmore, and resulted in a close win for them, 4-3. Swarthmore is the only team which has consistently de- feated Haverford in past years, but this season the score may be different. Only one man. Captain Marshall, is missing from last year ' s team, and with three letter men, all of the class of ' 27, and three numeral men back again this year, prospects for a successful season look bright. Captain Bill Lester has a record of not having missed a match since he has been in college. Playing third or fourth man until last year he has met with general success. Last year he won the Virginia cup after a long and interesting match with Webster on a blistering hot day in June. His plav is marked by an extremely hard-stroked KQ r £ vmowiWU The Tennis Team forehand drive which is very difficult for an opponent to handle, and great steadiness and accuracy in his back-court jjame. Webster has played as a regular on the team ever since his sophon-.ore year, a bad heart keeping him out of the game in Rhinie year. He is the most brilliant player Haverford has ever had, and with two years ' experience behind him should have a most successful season this year. His speed and ability in stroking, fast court-work, and smashing net play make him a hard man to beat. Forsythe, the third ' 27 letter man, in his two years of regular playing on the team has lost but one match, and that to the present captain at Penn. Possessing uncanny steadiness he is the most reliable man on the squad, and can always be counted upon to play at his best, as he seems to be entirely without nerves. He does not have the oif days which upset the other members of the team. Jack Evans, 28, will probably be the fourth member of the team. He has shown great improvement in his all-around game since he has been in college, and is par- ticularly strong in a steady and carefully placed chop stroke and a good net game. Last year he paired with Lester in doubles and together they managed to come through without a defeat. Bert Gary and George Johnson, two sophomores, complete the first team. Gary paired with Webster in doubles last year as well as playing singles when needed. Johnson, brother of the 192 ' i captain, shows possibilities of developing into a strong player. A second team has been organined in the past few years, playnng through a regular schedule with various schools and other college second teams. This year the squad consists of Estes, Roedelheim, Alsop, Westerman, Hamilton, and Bevan. With three members of the first team graduating, the second team is working hard in pre- paring material for next year. Manager Lober deserves congratulation for his efficient work in arranging the 1927 schedule, including such good matches w-ith so little to go on. The team thus far won easily its first few matches and should set a new record for Haverford tennis. 90 C C ' QLCOWm ¥ The Cnck t Team Cricket Prospects for a successful season in cricket in 1927 do not look very briijht, with only one letter man. Captain Stokes, 28, in college. Good material is available] however, in Silver, Standnrg, and Mellor, numeral men on the 1926 eleven, and in Emery, 27, Robinson and Horton, 28, and several freshmen. The class of ' 27 has not contributed very largely to the sport, but has had some stars although they did not remain permanent fi.xtures. Hoag is famous for his ?0 ' not-out in the Marlborough College match on the famed English tour, hut he did not stay to join the 1926 eleven, although we understand his batting average has not fallen off. Winslow, Fay, and Thompson saw service in some second eleven matches freshman year, but found other activities tew pressing to continue the good work. Silver, the playing manager who tries to tell Stokes how to run the team, is the one remaining luminary. He is a steady bowler and has achieved some success with the hat, opening up last year with Garrett and this year breaking in a Rhinie, Wistar, to follow in his footsteps (not those which lead to the clubhouse, after a yorker has done its work). Emery took up the game in 1926 and has become a steady devotee. Possessing an accurate eye, he is apt to swat the ball all over the lot and is death to any bowler who does not keep at a good distance. 91 r c ' QLcowmf m m CH£ ' QEC0W!Q27% Baseball The record of the 1926 baseball team — six wins out of nine games — indicates that a third season under Coach Halas, with only two men missing and new material coming in, will set new standards for Haverford baseball. Practice games so far indicate a team of considerable strength, which will be tested thoroughly by an un- usually hard schedule, including games with Lafayette, Dickinson, N. Y. U., Swarth- more, and Penn, as well as the usual opponents in Drexel, Stevens, Textile, Osteopathy, Moravian, and Delaware. Bill Saunders, 27, will captain the team for the second year. His natural hit- ting ability won him a place on the nine in Rhinie year, and the outfields of the past three years have been built around him. The batting and fielding star last season was Logan, whose loss this year will be felt keenly. His place at first base is at present being filled by Abbott, hard hitting center fielder of last year ' s aggregation. Squat Morss, ' 26, is the only other member of that team not back this year. Pop Vanneman, suffering from an injured knee last season, has won Morss ' place by his snappy work at the key- stone sack. The shortstop position is ably filled by Tripp, whose batting average last year was second only to Logan ' s. A dependable fielder, his quick head-work and fighting spirit keeps the team on its toes. Renwick, third sacker last year, is getting lots of competition from Hogenauer, ' 29. Both are strong hitters and fast fielders. Corson, ' 29, is utility man in the infield and outfield. The outfield material is rounded out by Richter, letter man from last year ' s squad, Gawthrop, Kingham, and Hymes, a freshman, all of whom are capable of serving elsewhere when needed, Hymes at first base, Kingham and Richter in the pitcher ' s box, and Gawthrop behind the plate. Flint, holder of the third highest batting average, heads the list of catchers, while Dunham and A. Supplee, another freshman, have been alternating at the position during Flint ' s in- eligibility, with Supplee holding the edge by his ability with the stick. Much of the success of the 1926 season is due to the steady twirling of King- ham, then a freshman. His best work was done in the game of the season, when he held Delaware to two hits, and in the first, in which Stevens was unable to collect more than three. Formerly a star at Blair Academy, Kingham is a big asset to the Haver- ford pitching staff. This year the hurlers are greatly strengthened by the addition of H. Supplee, another former Blair pitcher, whose work in the practice game with Penn A. C. made a very creditable showing for so early in the seas in. Twenty-seven was best represented on the baseball team in freshman year, by Gott, Saunders, and Sparacino, outfielders, and Huelle and Halstead, the former battery of the White Plains High School team. Dick Gott was immortalized in the Princeton game of that year as the world ' s record holder for consecutive errors in one inning, calling forth the famous editorial line, His name was Gott, hut he didn ' t! In sophomore year Dick was second in the batting averages and third in fielding, and his departure for medical school in Kentucky was a great loss to the team. Saunders is the only one of the other four to be affiliated with the team this ' ear. but we are well represented by his leadership. 93 Capiam hiW I t c ' Qncowmr ' i r £ vwowWt s Track m Board Track, Practice In spite of the graduation of seven letter men and two numeral men the track team of 1927 seems nearly as strong as last year. This is due to the arrival of two new stars in the freshman class in Morris and Swan, and the continued interest and hard work of the whole squad to develop material in winter and early season training to take the places of last year ' s seniors. For the first time in several past years it has been possible to get a large group of men working out together, with the result that Coach Haddleton has a justifiable confidence in his material for several events, notably the quarter mile and distance runs, and weight events. The purchase of new red sweater-shirts and pants may have helped the interest along, but it cer- tainly did make it kxik as though there were a track team somewhere around. The season started this year with various interclass and interdormitory meets, handicap and scratch, on the board track, the most promising features of which were the distance events. Whittlesey, 28, after representing Haverford in the Middle Atlantic cross-country meet in the fall, was working for the two-mile. Wright, ' 2 , and Jones and Rudrauff, ' 30, had several good races in the mile. The indoor season was wound up by participation in the A. A. U. meet in a Philadelphia Armory. McQinaghy, Thomas, Mawhinney, and Morris scored places in very good competition. The shot-put seems now to be the event in which Haverford is most strongly represented, with Fowler, Morris, and Rutherford all doing around forty feet. The javelin throw is also strong, with Flint, Swan, and Fowler all getting throws in practice of over HO feet while Swan has done 170. The discus is s3mewhat weaker than this standard, but Fowler, Morris, Dohan, and Probyn form a squad which is better than last year ' s. Thomas, who last year set a new record in the broad jump, heads the list of jumpers, while Hartman, Sargent and Rhoads will also score points. Richardson and Sargent, with Berlinger and Sykes, form a rather mediocre squad in the high jump. Captain Hoskins and Rhoads will give any college plenty of competition in the pole vault, and Pearce, ?0, and Speck, ' 29, are showing good form. McConaghy and Richardson should take almost as many places in the hurdle events as did Captain Lowry and Roedelheim last year, while Hoskins, Sargent, and Bishop are pressing them hard. The list of sprinters is headed by Ensworth, letter man from last year, and Thomas, who has been showing great speed in the shorter dash. Ren- ninger. Fox, Hunner, Turner, Watson, and Hartman complete the squad. The middle- distance runners and relay men form another strong squad, with five or six men all doing fast time: Tatum, Heller, Middleton, and Turner in the quarter, and Maw- hinney and Martin in the half. Whittlesey, Rudrautf and Davis in the two-mile, and Jones and Zook in the mile, form a hard-workin; ' team of consistent performers. Altogether, Coach Haddleton has a very well-balanced dual meet team, which the present season should prove, with enough individual strength to make a good show- ing in the Middle A tlantics, which will be held at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y. The track schedule calls for dual meets with Temple, Delaware, Lafayette (away), and Swarthmore, as well as the Penn Relays and the Middle Atlantics. A shuttle 95 WL ' QECmP J02T Q relay team in the high hurdles will be entered in the Penn Relays along with the quartermilers and field men. The 1926 season continued the high standard of former Haverford teams by losing only one meet, and that to Swarthmore by four points. Delaware and Lafayette were defeated by large margins, and Rutgers also decisively by a score of 66I 2 to 591 2- The best performers were Lowry and Roedelheim in the hurdles, Thomas in the broad jump, Hoskins in the pole vault. Fitter in the javelin throw, Tatum in the quarter mile, Ensworth in the dashes, and Fowler in the shotput. The Middle Atlantics, held at Lehigh, were heart-breaking in a last event triumph of Swarthmore over Haver- ford by a score of 29 to 28| 2- Twenty-seven has contributed greatly to the success of the track team in Captain Hoskins and John Fowler. Hoskins has several times broken the college record in the pole vault, and should do so again this year. Fowler, although not of very heavy build, has acquired great skill in the shotput, and he and Morris should give Froelicher ' s record some anxious moments this year. Rutherford is able to use his weight and speed in the shot very etfectively, and Sargent may score points in various events, high jump, broad jump, and high hurdles. Renninger is a strong contender in the century dash, and Heller and Middlcton are fast quartermilers who form a good nucleus for the relay team. i Tilt CiUiTUl: The Students Council Under the leadership of Fos Webster, the Council his adopted several progres- sive courses of action this year. For some years the Council had been looked upon as a rather arbitrary Kidy over whom the Students Association had little authonty. Since the Council members are chosen as representatives of the student body, and since confidence and co-operation are essential to the success of student government, greater openness of proceedings was felt to be desirable. It was therefore agreed that actions of the Council should be posted upon the bulletin boards after each meeting. More than anything else it was believed that this custom will aid in doing away with the old Policemen conception, and will foster active co-operation between the students and their Council. The work of the first Curriculum Committee was approved, and new members were appointed to carry on its work in co-operating with the faculty to improve curricular and administrative conditions at Haverford. Heller was chosen to represent the college at the National Student Federation Congress, held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, in December, which placed Haverford among the leaders in the movement of American students to make college education more effective. At the same time, Webster and Middleton attended an Eastern College Conference on student affairs, held at Wesleyan University. One of the most constructive policies of the Council was to attempt to bring about a better realization of the value of college property. For it was sometimes pain- fully evident that snow-balling and an occasional water-fight were among students ' activities, all of which proved detrimental to dormitory windows and floors. By work- ing from the inside, the Council encouraged a more enlightened attitude, which should take the place permanently of former thoughtlessness. SS C £ ' QLCOWlWl. Tlu ' Ni?u ' Board The Hai;LT ord Nc ws The election of tour impressed Rhinies to the Editorial Board of the A(eR ' ,s in November, 1923, was coincident with the beginning of a new regime. Not only did the new editor, Walt Sassaman, change the size of the paper, of the type, and of the editorials, but he put up curtains in the office and made the Rhinies varnish the fl(«)r. These Rhinies were Baker, Franklin Cook, Grover, and Heller. The second named left college at the end of freshman year, and Heller was forced to yieild to the pressure of other activities, and resigned. The other two remained to be cursed at, kicked around, and to alternate on the weekly late trip, which meant no bed until three or four. The next editor, Howard Marshall, was just as progressive as the preceding, but he had more things to worry about, so the staff escaped something. In the spring of 1926, Baker was rewarded with the editorship, a position which he held capably until December of that year. Of Curtis, Forsythe, and Sargent, ' who made the Business Board, only Forsythe stayed till senior year and to him fell the task of carrying on Kingsbury ' s work toward the financial reform of the paper. This was accomplished so well that dividends could be resumed. After Baker ' s resignation, Horton, 2S, was elected editor and after a few minor adjustments and a few resignations the News had started on a new path which may end in the quiet conservatism of the Hfiw XoyX Times. The administration is undoubt- edly pleased over the propitiatory attitude adopted by the present board, buf the undergraduates seem to miss the firebrand editorials which prevailed in the days of Sassaman and Marshall. After all, those editorials did accompli.sh two things, tennis on Sunday and unlimited cuts for upperclassmcn. I fe r £ V£C02DimU y[usical Cluhs A remarkablL- improveincnt in the Glee Cluh and a steady advance in the merit of the Instrumental Club charactenied the past musical season at Haverford. The new Glee Club coach, Clarence C. Nice, who is also Director- General of the Phila- delphia La Scala Grand Opera Company, enlarged the Glee Club, introduced a large group of new numbers, and worked wonders with the tone quality and phrasing of the songs. The organ effects in such numbers as De Coppah Moon, by Shelley, were commented on very favorably by the audiences wherever the clubs went. With Richard L. Weaver acting again as coach of the Instrumental Club, they maintained the steady improvement they have shown since he first came here. A great deal was added to the program by the two arrangements made by Mr. Weaver himself, one of the numbers from Victor Herbert and the other from Verdi ' s II Trovatore. The latter number was effective as a final number and was so used at most of the concerts. Although somewhat handicapped by a small violin section, the club was blessed with a particularly fine ' cello section and the remaining sections were of excellent caliber. Mention must be made of several masterly ' cello solos presented by Fritz Reudiger, exchange student from Heidelberg. In these he was accompanied by Charles Thomp- son, who himself rendered piano solos on occasion. The Miller-Muller combination was again on hand for the piano and traps, and the spirit of these men in continu- ing to play in spite of graduation is highly to be commended. A notable feature of the Home Concert was the soprano solo by Miss Ernestine Bacon, with Glee Club assisting in the Italian Street Song, by Young and Herbert. Mr. Nice was likewise responsible for this innovation, which was greeted with a storm of applause. Miss Sellers was the accompanist. Professor James McFadden Carpenter was again heard in a number of very attractive baritone solos, including Scarlatti ' s exquisite Non vogl ' io se non vederti. He was recalled three times for encores. The Atlantic City trip, always the piece de resistance of the season, was divided this year between the Hotel Dennis and Haddon-Hall. A dance followed the second night ' s concert at Haddon-Hall, and on the first night, the members and their friends seemed to find various places of amusement in the town. How Bevan left the bass drum in Atlantic City so that he could go down the next day and get it is a story in Itself. A concert at Bryn Mawr Community Center followed close upon the Atlantic City trip and members of the clubs were entertained at dinner before the concert by hospitably-inclined hostesses of Bryn Mawr. This was also followed by a dance, crowded, but enjoyable. The Friday afterward a concert was given in Wilmington, in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Musical Clubs. Ckincerts at Philadelphia Normal School and Haverford High School were very satisfactory and a special performance was given for the Philadelphia Working Home for the Blind in West Philadelphia. The Haverford group in Moorestown were hosts to the clubs for Friday, March I cS, where a fine concert was given in return for royal entertainment at dinner and dance. The home concert and dance concluded the season ' s appearances and was univers- ally agreed to be the best. An account would not be complete without mention of the excellent conducting done by Woll and Webster of the Glee Club and Instrumental Club, and the work of Manager Powell and his assistants. Also since this is the 1927 Record it is not inappropriate to remark that since our sophomore year at least a third of the members of the clubs have been men of our class. 101 r £ VEC02Vm7 m t,J T if ■ y Cdhiiul The Y. M. C. A. After the two-year presidency of Hugh Burton, 26, the new Y Cabinet headed h y Sargent found it had quite a tradition to maintain. A new poHcy, that of having Wednesday meetings only when a fine speaker could be secured, was inaugurated and proved to be successful. Meetings were held almost every week, and the quality of speakers kept very high, on account of the g(xid work of Hetzel, who had charge of the meetings committee. The intercollegiate Y Conference was held in June at Eagles Mere, Penna., instead of at Silver Bay, N. Y. It was co-ed for the first time. Limited facilities cut down the quota for each college, so that Heller was able to send only four men from Haverford. They reported very favorably on the Conference and its good effect upon the delegates. The great distance prevented Haverford from sending delegates to Milwaukee in December. In the fall, the annual charity drive was run off under the direction of Allen Powell, and over $2,000 pledged to the various agencies. As customary, the Hand- books were printed in the summer and distributed at the start of the college year. Evans, chairman of the Handbook Committee, did gcx)d work in getting a copy to each freshman well before college opened. The Social Service and Discussion Group Committees, headed by Robinson and Wistar respectively, had one of the most successful years in the history of the Y. About twenty-five men helped at the Community Center, teaching carpentry, basket- ball, scout work, and drawing. The Sunday night discussion groups at the Meeting House were continued. The Bryn Mawr Y co-operated with Haverford in making the gatherings interesting and enjoyable to those present 102 The Haverfordian Board The Haverfordian Lord! An under-cLis-s editor! What next? Carr was in a difficult situation. Here was his opportunity to show whether he knew how to run a magazine as well as to write for one or to make an ironical joke of Haverford ' s undergraduate literary publication. Carr was fortunate to have the assistance of a man wh(5 understaid the the progressive policies of past Haverfordmns, and could warn a young editor against the reefs that always must be avoided. Prok(isch, as Art Editor of the Haverfordian, was in a position to be of the most valuable assistance to the editor in shaping the constructive policies ot the magazine. The ambitious first number contained a good detective story by a modest alumnus (or was it J. D. C), and an interesting sketch of Mussolini by Dr. H. S. Pratt. In later issues Mr. Reitzel contributed a character study of a man contemplating suicide; short stories by Webster and Rutherford were printed; Bramwell Linn con- tributeJ some rather good verse, and G. P. Rogers pleasantly broke the monotony of romance in the April issue with a realistic story, The God of the Gloves. The principal undergraduate criticism of the Haverfordian this year has been based on two rather serious flaws. In the first place, there has been too little con- sideration for the student body, too little energy expended in attempts to stimulate literary expression among the undergraduates for v hom the magazine is maintained. The second flaw is, perhaps, more serious than the first, though growing out of it. The essence of an interesting magazine is variety, in style, subject matter, and point of view, while this year the publication has been confined too much to a small standard- ized group of contributors. 103 r c ' QLcowm m Cast o| liiL- liuUental [ The Cap and Bells Play The premiere of the Hottentot, given at Goucher College early in April, was an auspicious beginning for a successful season. A run on the professional stage some years ago with William Collier in the leading role proved the worth of this play by Victor Mapes, and it has turned out to be well suited to the abilities of those active in Haverford dramatics. With due allowance for the first night uncertainty and the expected attitude of a Goucher audience to an all-male cast, the dramatic talent of the actors was surpnsingly well displayed. The plot centers around the rather time- worn device of mistaken identity. A fashionable group of fox hunters expect as a guest the famous Sam Harrington, a noted rider and one of the greatest horsemen in the country. Naturally his reception is carefully planned. Unfortunately for Harrington (but not for the play), there is the coincidence of two people with the same name, and the particular Sam Harrington who appears on the stage has a deadly fear of horses. Just as he is about to announce his whole-hearted mistrust of ridmg he falls in love with Peggy Fairfax, a most ardent equestrienne. To gain her hand he maintains the delusion, with many interesting consequences for all concerned. J. Tyson Stokes plays the leading role with the same able interpretation he gave to The Boomerang and Captain Applejack. Whittlesey, for the third year Stokes objet d ' amour, is very captivating as Peggy, the fair heroine. Addison Allen, the family butler, and George Renninger, a fascinating widow of thirty. uphold 27 in the cast very ably. Allen was the only Rhinie included in the play during 104 c c VDCowjgpy ' i m freshman year, and has been our outstanding success on the stage all four years: his work in three Cap and Bells Club plays and in the Classical Club presentation of Querolus shows that the position of Chairman of the Play Committee has been filled by one who deserves this honor. Renninger has been delightfully feminine in several dramatic presentaticns and has always proved a worthy imitator of the opposite sex. Classical Cluh Querolus, .in anonymous Latin comedy of the fifth century A. D., was selected for presentation by the Classical Club in its annual performance, which was held this year before Christmas in order to avoid the usual conflict with the Cap and Bells play. This particular comedy, as well as being a unique example of Latin comedy other than those by Plautus and Terence, calls for some mystifying tricks by a pseudo-magician, which part was ably taken by Mussey, ' 30. Yoder, ' 28, in the title role of the grumpy old miser; Stokes, 28, as the Lar, and Abernethy, ' 30, as the wily slave of Querolus, gave the most outstanding performances. The fact that there were no female characters made the play easier to act, but detracted somewhat from the fun of the performance. For his clever translation, and for the prodution through his helpers in the Classical Club of this play -the first time it has been seen on any modern stage — Dr. Lockwood deserves warm congratulation. A second activity of the club was the reading by a group of interested students of Euripides ' Iphigenia in T.iuns, in the verse translation of Gilbert Murray. I WL ' QECOWmT ' Q m W A B Li The Radio Club The Radul Club brought its name, and that of the eollege, into prominenee by estabhshing WABQ in 192?. Through the efforts of the members of the club and the invaluable aid of Mr. LaPortes, the manager of the Ardmore Theatre, WABQ was enlarged until it became one of the most powerful stations in the vicinity of Philadel- phia, and was received by radio listeners from coast to coast. The popularity of the station was surprising. The Radio Club received hundreds of congratulatory letters commenting on Kith the general excellence of the programs and the clearness of the transmissions. The club increased in membership from seven or eight to nearly twenty- five. Meanwhile, however, the station attracted commerciab interests, and m Decem- ber, 1926, an attractive offer was made to the club by the Keystone Broadcasting Com- pany. Though loath to part with the station, it was deemed advisable to sell it at the time mainly because the men who had built and operated the apparatus were to graduate in June, and the continuation of the broadcasting activities would be in doubt. Accordingly the station was sold and removed to its present location atop the Lorraine Hotel, in Philadelphia, where it has become one of the foremost commercial stations in the city. The Radio Club retained the privilege of broadcasting twice a week from the new station if it so desires, and it is hoped that the radio activities at the college will not disappear altogether. The club still possesses the two steel towers on the roof of Sharpless Hall, and with the fund set aside for the use of the club a short wave trans- mitter will probably be installed next year. Three meinbers of the Class of ' 27 were mainly responsible for the construction and successful operation of the station: W. S. Halstead, President of the Radio Club, Irving B. Smith, Jr., Vice-President, and Charles R. Thompson, Program Director and Treasurer of the club. 106 I C £ QLCOWIWU xnoy Organizations THE LIBERAL CLUB The work of the Liberal Club during its first year has been noteworthy, and de- serves recognition. Its chief aim has been to arouse the serious curiosity of more stU ' dents in the various aspects of citizenship and to render those already interested more intelligent and capable. On very scant resources — less than $200 — it has held six meet- ings open to all who wished to come, each one addres sed by a man well qualified to deal with the problems in his field. Norman Angell, the well-known English pacifist and author, was perhaps the outstanding figure of the year, and as the first speaker gave the club a remarkable send-off; such men as Frederick Libby, Oswald Garrison Villard, and Norman Thomas carried on this tradition. As chairman, it was Fowler ' s task to secure these men, and with the help of other members he was enabled to do a very creditable piece of work. The practice of entertaining the speakers at dinner, in order to become more thoroughly acquainted with them and their views, proved very successful. From six to ten club members would comprise an informal group, and during dinner would probably derive more value from conversing with the man than from li.stening to the speaker later on. THE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY George Renninger as president of the Scientific Society secured a number of in- teresting lectu rers, and while acting as treasurer during the previous year he helped to increase the membership of the Society almost one hundred per cent. Among the speakers may be mentioned: Harry Richardson, President of the Richardson Scale Company, who talked on some of his experiments with gasoline engines; Dr. W. C. Allee, whose address on Geographical Distribution of Animals was of great zoolog- ical interest; and Dean Palmer, who gave a demonstrated lecture on liquid air. THE PRESS CLUB Under the able leadership of George Saunders, the Press Club has forged ahead to greater activity and service. Cyril Morand, the Philadelphia manager of the United Press, gave an illustrated lecture on News, Its Accumulation and Distribution before a large audience in Roberts Hall, early in March. DEBATING A. schedule of three intercollegiate debates (m.it counting an attempt to arrange one with Bryn Mawr) enabled Haverford to regain interest in debating, which had re- cently waned. At her alumni center in Philadelphia, Juniata College defeated the Hav- erford team, consisting of Sargent, Rorer and Heller, on the subject of cancelling war debts. Three weeks later, however, when Haverford met Bowdoin on the question, Are the Majority of College Students Wasting Their Timc the situation was re- versed with a unanimous deci. ' ion tor the college team. The last debate of the season was held on April 2Sth with St. Joseph ' s College, m which Haverford lost. THE CHESS CLUB Due to lack of experienced players, the Chess Club has had rather .i hectic year, the final result being that the members had to drop out of the Philadelphia League. Despite this fact, a great interest has been manifested in chess this year, some entries of Lloyd Hall having games going on morning, noon and night. SOCIETIES Haverford ' s two secret societies have named seven members of the Class of 1927. Beta Rho Sigma claims W. Foster Webster, A. Robertson Middleton and William Halstead, while the Triangle S iciety holds Carl S. Vogel, Stewart A. Hoskins, Allan B. Fay and James W. B,iker. W. Albert, an ex- ' 27, is a member of Beta Rho Sigma. 107 R 1877 1927 It Is Now 50 Years Since The First Life Insurance Trust Was Established With the Provident Being the first fnancid institution in the United States to administer Life Insurance Trusts, the Provi- dent offers you a pioneer ' s knowledge of this special ' ized form of estate service, based on an experience which is probably unequalled in this country.
