As an astringent to the tears of separation, therefore, the editors of the 1930 Record offer a modest volume in sober cloth, in which faults rather than virtues are chron- icled, the demi ' gods are reduced from their heroic proportions to life-sise, and the mov- ings of the holy spirit ot sentimentaHty are cut down to a reasonable minimum.

(7 HIS great institution of learning is divided roughly into two groups — one camp which believes that V— ' Rufus and the Second Coming are about the same thing, and opposed to them those derelicts from rectitude who either have it or know where you can get it. In other words, we have the Quakers and the White Men; and Brad is the Httle world mother who made the grade with both of them and got the Student Association Presidency. Abcrnethy is one of the few in the class who has chosen to serve the Lord in a professional way; and one thing certain he will never he sanctimonious in the pulpit; his experience on the campus will forbid that. For besides associating himself with a crowd that is celebrated for its viciousness, he is not above dabbling along the edge himself — though in comparison with some of his friends who carry on laboratory courses in sin, his own slips from grace don ' t count. And while we ' re on this whole question of sins of the flesh, we might as well make a few remarks about the women in Brad ' s life. There are two headliners. One is a sensuous soul who at times leaves him panting and seeing red: Emily is succinctly described as a lay in the hay — in fact if you don ' t pull the choke all the way out and spin like the devil, she just lays down on you. The other girl is a bit more reserved. The only misdeed that was ever actually proved on Brad, however, occurred back in Rhinie year and even Uncle Billy attributed that to temporary failure of the mental processes rather than original sin. It was just before the Delaware football game, and various cheer meetings had religiously impressed on us that the whole duty of man was to gather fceoucoup de fuel for the bonfire — the result being that Abernethy, Watson and six other loyal sons spent the night most heroically in the Oakmont jug for attempting to make off with the P. 6? W. station ' s large and extremely inflammable set of metal scales. But, shuc([S.

WHEN the Class of 1930 learned on somewhat rehable authority at the 6rst collection of its senior year that bootlicking, as such, did not exist at Haverford, it was taken aback to a man. What, then, was this thing that Ralphie Atkinson had been doing at the end of each and every one of his classes for the last three years? Surely he had not been asking questions to satisfy any thirst for knowledge: Ralphie had always been spilling over with knowledge. He had been able to interrupt professorial lectures not less than once per class, no matter whether mediaeval history or biology, to remind the lecturer that an important point had been omitted. To be sure, the correction was usually twisted into the form of a question; but a correc- tion it remained. To find out, then, just what this thing was which Ralphie had been doing we listened one day to one of those after lass sessions. Imagine our surprise when we found out how wrong we had been. Atkinson was just informing the professor that he had been doing some unassigned reading, that he thought the class was one of the most interesting he had ever attended, and that he would like to have the professor out to dinner sometime. And to think the class thought he had been bootlicking! Ralphie ' s career on the campus, sUght for the first three years, was confined almost entirely to classes during the fourth. With th: demise of Doughty, he took up quarters at Whitehall, ate at the Tea Room, and spent his odd hours in his rooms finding allusions to French history which would be useful in whatever Lunt class (he took all the Baron ' s courses, by the way) he happened to have scheduled for the next day. Ralphie, by the way, must have one valuable object in those rooms: a remarkably accurate alarm clock. During his whole college career, he was consistently four minutes late to every one of his classes. But - uh ' Dr. Lunt — uh — didn ' t — uh — H93p GEORGE WASHINGTON BETZ, Jr. 720 S.

Never have I seen such a girl, such — Well 1 arrived, gave my coat to the maid and we walked into the living room. Oh. yes. 1 lit a cigarette On and on and on, slowly rising to the supreme climax; and ending with and you should have seen me coming down that rainspout! George ' s college life has been the metamorphosis of a soul. As a Rhinie, urged on by Hanna ' s vociferous exhortations to Git hot. Betzy-boy, he w-as a wild-eyed hanger-on of the Merion Murderers led by the famous Jack Carr (whom George still regards as utterly and gloriously sinful), and an inveterate bummer of cigarettes. Since the passing of these boisterous days, Betzy-boy has matured somewhat, becoming a profound arguer on Woman and the Negro, and making sporadically earnest attempts to git cultured rather than hot; but he is still an amusing spectacle. Some day he will grow up. and perhaps even be able to shave more than once a week. As an upperclassman he has spent his hours dodging Blair on a rampage ( Betz, you b — ! where ' s my soap? ). But George could alw-ays talk Benny out of it. George could talk anybody out of anything. His chief joy in life has rested in coming in at 11:30 P. M. and finding some- body to whom he could relate the evening ' s events in minute detail, and with just that sufficient degree of elaboration to make a very, very good story, and still be soxewhere in the realm of plausibility. He is probably the outstanding romanticist of the class. He believes in the world-wide supremacy of the white male German; dV B ' „ W- in sex; Lucky Strikes; J. P. Morgan; and the exact opposite of anything ' ' Blair believes. His one aim is to progress to that position in life where he can wake up in the morning, stretch, yawn, and say to his financial secretary: Let ' s have a panic this morning. Wei!, mho ' s got the cigarettes? WOODWARD J. BLACKBURN LOCUST VALLEY, L. I., N. Y. Born 1911 Entered from Friends Academy in 1926. Football (3, 4); H (4); Hews Board (2, 3); News Editor (3); Classical Club Play (1, 2). WHEN Blackburn entered college, he read Sara Teasdale, The Did and played passably well on the bugle — now he reads The Sdturday Etieiiing Post and does not play the bugle. What little reserve and discrimination that remained after the 1928 Harvard Alumni Banquet at the Bellevue was pretty well washed up by four years residence with Jim Brown. One of the outstanding features about Jouett is his walk; it being a cross between single footing and a lope. Be that as it may, this peculiar mode of locomotion took him to the lairs of the more notorious debutantes of 1929-30 and, what ' s more to his credit, this was accomplished by sheer force of personality and not by the step-bdder route featured by Hanna, Vaux and Company. Blackburn ' s conduct in society and on the campus presents a study in contrasts. For he is perfectly capable of making the proper kind of small talk with the dullest of Main Line matrons, and can balance a tea cup with more than usual finesse; but let anyone remark on his extreme youth, or whistle a few bars of On the Road to Mandalay, and what follows is unbelievable. The only thing approaching it is an elephant addicted to profanity, caving around a tin garage. In the course of his adolescence during the past four years, he has dis- carded Benson and Hedges for Camels, violet Life Savers for football, an objective interest in women for a more personal subjective concern for the species, short pants for longies ; but as yet has been unable to do anything about his freckles and open countenance. Some remark should be made in closing about his consistent A averages. These are not due to any intensive study, as is popularly supposed, but are rather the result of a compelling and irresistible personality combined with some native brilliance; and undoubtedly he is one of the dozen or so future geniuses which every Rbcord Book feels called upon to prophesy .

J OHM LEROr BLACKMAN. Chnstuin Scientist. Phdadelphtan, Repuhhcan; succeeded Hedley as editor of the Heu s: introduced the Eighteenth Amendment to the College. Thus could Jack ' s Havertord career he epitomized. But alack and alas, more gruesome detail must be told. Jack ' s whole tour years have been packed with incongruities. When he entered, he was wedded as roommate to the brimstone-breathing Mussey (one of Oscar ' s grandest mistakes). During his freshman year (and during his senior, too, for all we know-) he rose at six each morning to have soUtary family worship, and his snappy rebuttal to a statement in favor of the use of the weed was Well, Jesus didn ' t smoke ; yet in his senior year he was one of the Seven Deadly Sins in Doctor Faustus. When he first tried out for the ' eu ' s board, he was all but dropped for being so slow to learn anything; yet he became editor before the middle of his junior year. And his extreme interest in that iniquitous trade of journalism does not seem to match well with such aversion as Jack has displayed to all forms of what we were taught in Sunday School was sinful. Perhaps the ambition some day to be the directing genius of that greatest of all newspapers on the terrestial globe. The Christian Science Monitor, has brought him unsmirched through the tobacco smoke and cursing of the fiews room. (Jack does think the Monitor is the world ' s best. We had stuck by The Times until one day he declared that The j ew Tor Times is atheistic, Democratic and — well, sarcastic. And that settled that.) As no doubt has been gathered by now, Jack ' s college activities were confined almost entirely to the Hews. He lived and had his being as a member of the Fourth Estate. He was never so happy as when he could corral a Rhinie who was willing to hsten to half an hour ' s disserution on the difference between the first and third editions of the Inquirer. And it was as editor of the Hews that he broke the long-standing, tacit agree- ment between student body and student council on the strong-drink question, with the famous Gulp! Gulp! editorial. In this activity, at least, it looked for a time last spring as if he were going to get the recognition due him (following Hedley, he faced a thankless task as editor of the Hews). But the tar and feathers failed to arrive. My word! WW BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BLAIR 111 W. Second Street, MEDIA, I A. Born 1908 Entered from Westtown School in 1926.

(T HE Beaver half-backs, securing the elusive globule after a sharp scrimmage with the Baltimore Pikers, V- rushed the bounding pellet up the field to the goal mouth where a Scarlet and Black forward took it under his wing and booted it past the Garnet goalie for the tying tally as the referee ' s whistle shrilled for the end of the period. The second canto opened with the Beavers, etc. etc. etc. An outsider, even if he managed to gather from the above description that a Haverford-Swarthmore soccer game was going on, would probably spot the writer as one of the colorful gentry in check shirts and yellow shoes who purvey sporting information to the readers of the Philadelphia Daily ews. The amusing truth of the matter, however, is that he is a Quaker and a Westtownite, one of the class grinds and about as flashy a dresser as Uncle Billy. The Westtown qualification, of course, would not of itself prove him staid-minded (even Buffalo Bill, as a matter of actual record, went to Westtown), but the other bits of evidence do, and a host of classmates will arise to vouch for their truth. Thinking up outlandish ways to describe familiar objects in print has, indeed, been Bennie ' s one debauch — and even this ha.s been in response to tradition. Two or three years ago a soccer manager set the precedent of combining this job with that of a sports writer on the 7v(eu ,«; and Beany was so conscientious in following this that he even resigned the business managership of the y ewi itself to do so. There is one other respect also in which Bennie is somewhat jarring to the nerves: several months ago a visitor to the dining room started in alarm from his chair as an unearthly shriek rent the air; and it was only after several agonized minutes that he was soothed down sufficiently to realize that the sound was a laugh and the source Blair. And, in closing. It should be noted that the pernicious Blair influence has extended even to the regular College curriculum, certain gullible individuals having come to the conclusion that the way to a Phi Bete was to ape Bennie and never be caught acting intelligent. } ow, you see it ' s this way — WW W.

FOR some unaccountable reason, Dick was labeled with the nickname of Benny early in his junior year. His classmate, Benjamin F. Blair (no relation) immediately changed his name to B. Franklin Blair, and adopted the nickname of Beanie to avoid confusion. But Dick acquired another name while at college : Benny the Bitcher. Nothing has ever quite suited him. He has been continually suspicious since he entered in the middle of our freshman year. It was then probably that his soul was blighted for he was compelled to wear the Rhinie cap and tie {they were green in those days) long after the rest of us were released. Furthermore, the gang he roomed with m South Barclay for two years definitely produced a set of conditioned reflexes that are bound to hamper his political life in the future. Very probably they will prevent him from becoming senator. Dick ' s toes, which point outward at an angle of forty-five degrees, combined with a black felt hat, a pink shirt, and a chin sadly neglected by the razor, give him an appearance, which is — fortunately — all his own. Visitors to the campus may arrange to see this apparition any day after lunch when he is to be seen strolling along the walk in front of Lloyd munching a piece of bread thickly covered with jam. Only the severest of rains can compel Dick to complete his meal in the dining room. But perhaps Benny ' s most prominent characteristic is his willingness to try anvthing or everything. If he did not succeed in holding every office on the campus, it was not his fault; at least there can he no doubt that he got more graft out of his positions than anyone else except Mas- land. And finally, he would insist on speaking in Student Association Meetings — which propensity has always made us fear that the spint would some dav move him to rise in Meeting, Don ' t he ndiculum. ' 34 ROGER LANGDON BLOOM 411 Kathmere Road BROOKLINE, UPPER DARBY P. O., PA. Born, 1909 Entered from Haverford High School in 1926. ' r OGER is a prize example of the wolf in sheep ' s clothing. To see him seated half upside down in an r easy chair fiddling destructively with the adjacent bridge-lamp and telling whatever victims he can V.hnd that that chcm course is just terrible; or to hear him shout the vile expletive durn after ac- cidentally upsetting a beaker in the laboratory and thus causing himself to repeat three weeks of tiresome work, one would never suspect him of being the king of hearts that he is. From the beginning of Rhinie year to the present, Roger has always stoutly maintained that he would never get married, not even the equally strong statements on the opposite side by his faithful roommate Norr being able to shake him. However, with the passage of years, his actions have shown signs of a gradual weakening. He has never yet been so bold as to appear at a college dance, but he soon began to escort members of his harem to football games. Later he evidently realized that it was more economical to visit the girls, and it would not surprise us to see Roger confronted by an irate father holding a shotgun and demanding that he marry the daughter as partial payment for the free meals he has consumed. Bills for lodging may also be presented, for of late Roger has fallen into the habit of taking what he calls week-ends — although, as a matter of fact, they usually extend from Thursday until Tuesday — and he has been unsuccessful in convincing anyone that he has spent the whole time at home fixing screen doors. But the real tragedy of these lengthy rest periods is the parlous state in which the remainder ot the College is left when Roger is away. In order not to be lonely while studying, he has always managed to do his cramming in company with someone else, and when these individuals are deprived of their partner, their frantic search for him clearly shows that they are incapable of individual thought. And his well known mechanical and electrical genius (it should be added) reached its height last year when he put a lock on his door in such fashion that he could be locked inside without any means of egress save the window on the third floor of South.

Freshman Advisory Committee (4). i RT is another one of those chiefly distinguished by his possession of the rare capacity for being acceptable to both of the two parts into which all Haverford is divided: the part you write home about, and the part you tell your friends about. It requires a high degree of tact to inhabit the Hews room on Sunday afternoons and evenings for over a year and neither shock the disciples of Blackman nor incur the wrath of the Old Guard from the Hedley rugime; yet that is exactly what Art was able to do. When there suddenly appeared on his desk a burlesque on the famous Gulp! Gulp! editorial entitled Swish ' swish! or he unearthed from his pile of copy a headline expressing the candid opinions of one member of the board on the editor. Art would first chuckle silently, then give a few reproving cluck-clucks and eliminate the possibihty of war by consigning the obscenity to the waste basket. It was the artful alternation of chuckles and clucks which did the trick: the godly always thought Art chuckled merely because he did not wish to appear rude, while the little hellions thought he clucked for exactly the same reason. Thus did he apparently achieve in his own person that tradi- tionally impossible combination of a Quaker and a White Man; and so successfully that even now it would be impossible to say which he really is. Aside from this noteworthy achievement on the Hews (and passing over with mere mention the lesser achievement of holding the editorship for a few months between Blackman and AUendoerfer). Art ' s chief distinc- tion lies in being the class ' s chief exponent of the all-round education — body, mind and soul. The soul, having got itself born Quaker, was taken care of ipso aero, and the mind was well nourished on a curious assortment of Haverford arts and science courses; but the body presented more difficulties. This problem was finally solved by following in the footsteps of the great Walter Camp and assembling a dumb-bell collection unrivaled in size anywhere on the campus except in the gym and Sociology 1 . So cluttered up with diabolical weights, springs and devices tor strengthen- ing the grip (though heaven knows what a Quaker needs with these last) had Art ' s floor and walls become by senior year, that they were a veritable trap for the unwary visitor. Rather trespass on the cricket crease in football-shoes than the room of A. H. Brinton. And rather try to argue with Atkinson than to make Art speak m a loud voice. Tlie pomt 1 ! that.

L ISA glance at the death ' s head above may serve to indicate, Jim has his tragic aspects. He was born with a bit of scandal at his lips and a drop of acid on the end ot his tongue, and everyone he has ever met since has come in for a share of them sliding off: the tragedy is that those whose delusions of grandeur he delights in puncturing do not realize the horrible shattering of his own which took place through his coming to Haver- ford. The story is vouched for as authentic in his case and, incidentally, should be useful to use sometime in your own when some 150 per cent loyal alumnus asks you how you came to go to Havertord, Five or so years ago Jim, vaguely in search ot a college to go to, though at the moment merely motoring from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, happened to pass through Haverford. As he sped through, he happened also to notice a stone-walled expanse of beautifully smooth lawn, with a nice-looking building or two nearby and a few well bred, white-flanneled young men playing tennis in the background; it seemed a rather decent place to spend four years and so the name of James Brown, IV, was duly entered among the prospective members of Haverford ' 30. On September 21, 1926, the spindUng youth himself dropped off the Paoli Local, cast an eye around for his bearings and headed light-heartedly for the college of smooth lawns and impeccable tennis; just to make sure, as he entered the stone gateway, he glanced at the inscription. The letters were bold and utterly crushing: Merion C. C. Although he failed to do the logical thing and spend his four years at the Cricket Club instead, he has never quite forgiven the College for his mistake. Part of his revenge has been sartorial: when the Administration, in one of its inimitable Collection talks, requested greater formality of dress, Jim ' s snotty reply was moccasins, knickers flapping loo.se to the knees, and that indescribable dirty-whiteness v l u-li he wears ;is a sweater.

The effort, we are sorry to confess, has not been a complete success; the calls of the BuUen belly (see evidence below) being one thing that has always drowned out this war-cry of his friends. But college has cured him of the habit of leaving the BuUen lingerie artistically scattered around the bull room, the cure in this case being a very dramatic one. The Bullen bathrobe had been draped in the usual way over an electric toaster used for heating the room (Doggy please note) and when the College current came on the bathrobe started toasting somewhat faster than schedule time. Tearing downstairs, Vic had a brief wres- tling match with a fire-extinguisher almost as large as himself, then rushed up again only to have the thing go off before he was ready for it. The stream missed his face and some of the tire, but not the rest of the room. A desk which was a real college antique was permanently fire-proofed and the general scheme of interior decoration in luxurious Lloyd Hall was somewhat altered, but Fire-laddie Bullen finally got the conflagration under control without further disaster. Debit, $3.48 (bathrobe); credit, no B. V. D- s hanging on the bridge-lamps in the future. Vic stepped into the limelight early in Rhinie year, as class chairman, a 1930 representative on the Jayvee soccer team, and the excuse for one of (x) s most melodious sounds, Mistuh Boollen. In these later days his activities have lain chiefly in continuing as 1930 representative in Jayvee soccer and gathering unto himself the class championships in boils, chorus-girl legs and capacious lung-power.

K S HIS many classmates and other associates will testify, this page is sacred to the memory of Haverford ' s - ■ bourgeois gentilhomme. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner would be incomplete if Don did not put in an appear- ance clad in a vest which always fails sufEciently to hide a shirt incapable of doing justice to anyone other than the proverbial Uncle Josh. Don ' s greatest claim to extra urricular distinction came Rhinie year, when he was the only member of the class to room with a grad student. Since then, he has attracted attention chiefly by means of his singing, which is heard upon the slightest provocation. Impartial observers say that he has a good voice, but bawls like a bull. Aside from this normal cheeriness, the only thing which caused him to make himself conspicuous was the last presidential election. At that time, Don, who mortally hates and fears the Roman Pope, claimed with great gravity, that if Al Smith were elected he would be assassinated within two weeks. But politics are not the only portion of Don ' s life which is ruled by authoritatively divine revelations and precepts. Even four years of bull sessions have not succeeded in sophisticating him or eliminating the semi- shocked giggles with which he greets those obscene jokes which are an B essential complement to any discussion group (always excepting those conducted in Chase Hall). And that college life has not deprived him of the simple joys of his childhood is evidenced by the fact that when more prosaic mortals are busy grinding out last-minute papers, he alone remem- bers the approaching holidays and interlines his lecture notes with appro- priate Christmas trees and similar devices. Finally, there is one more apparent characteristic, and that is Don ' s walk, only rivalled in its springiness by that of Poopus Vaux. Jsio ([iddm ' j oP HARLAN E. CROWELL The Benjamin Franklin FLUSHING, N, Y. Born 1908 Entered from Radnor High School in 1926. Baseball (1); Freshman Advisory Com- mittee (4); Radio Club; Press Club; SEVERAL years ago when Harlan paid a visit to the high school which had laid the foundations of his intellect, one of his former teachers told him that it was the greatest surprise of her hfe that he was still in college. That little incident indicates why he will probably frame his diploma instead of allowing it to collect dust on the top shelf of the closet the way the rest of us are likely to do. A better and more enthusiastic buUer than a student. Harlan has devoted himself to life, love, and the pursuit of women. In spite of his assiduous use of his junior-year roommate, Hanna, as a social step-ladder, the fact that one Lee is a member of the last-named item should do much to clear up any question with regard to the quality of the quarry. Crowell ' s claim that he has had more women in his rooms than anyone else on the campus is a matter of great pride with him, but anyone who has seen them and the innocent way in which he entertains them would perceive that there is no cause for alarm. However, Harlan is nothing it not fair; and he calls on the girls as often as they call on him, stopping in all the neighboring Lloyd Hall rooms on the way out to make sure that everyone realises he has a date. Profound mental labor is not to Harlan ' s taste, and his great despair and incredulity when he learns that a thesis is expected of him is a thing to break the heart of the sympathetic observer. But it is in a battle of wits that the laughter of the gods is evoked. Long after he is utterly vanquished he will continue to argue and present new openings for Joe Martin who is especially skillful in squelching him (this being the un- kindest cut of all, for everybody knows what we think of Joe ' s abihty at argumentation). However, if Sidney Lenj is right and bridge playing does improve the mind, we can entertain great hopes for Harlan. ROBERT LOOS DOTHARD 417 Haverford Road, NARBERTH, PA.

JjOBBY early showed his impetuous nature by throwing a whole traytulof food out the nursery window ■ - because Brud got one more prune than he did. It still bursts forth occasionally, and when it does some childish prank is still perpetrated. Dobby is really a child in spirit anyway — and a very whimsical one — though few people realize it. In fact, few people ever see him often enough to know much about him. He was gone so long once that his roommates in serted the following advertisement in the Hews in an effort to get him to return: DOBBY Please come back to us, we miss you. Lonesome without you. All your orgies and frequent absences fully forgiven, else must we sue for alienation of affections Georgp, Bennie . Dobby is afraid of women; afraid of getting tangled up with them; so he straight-arms his way through a 1 college dances and comes out unscathed and unattached. (Can you imagine bringing a girl to the Junior Prom who required a chaperone? Dobby did.) The only time that he ever took advantage ot the darkness, in fact, was during a fresh-soph football game. That day the Children ' s Hour came sooner than usual (i. e. it was getting dark) so Dobby, hiding behind Jones dimpled derncrc and hiding the ball behind his own, sneaked across the Hoal line in the gathering dusk etc. to a touchdown for Dear Old Thirty. Speaking of Longfellow and tin- Children ' s Hour, Dobby had his one morning at the County Fair when he u. on ,i kiddy-kar race across the dance floor, riding side saddle.

' Tk tO group would he complete without its Strong Silent Man who takes life and himself seriously. Here is ours. Though not given to the w e of many words, Ducky has been known to maintain quite V frequently that he is the descendant of a long line of Stuart kings, which fact is often used hy his ac- quaintances to account for his careful ideas with regard to money. It is probably owing also to his belief in royal ancestors that he maintains that there is no course in College but history, which he studies with great diligence, ardor and whatnot. For him, it is quite evidently no mere hst of dates, but rather a moving pageant of dramatic events far preferable to the latest show at the Seville; for anyone who has ever been in close prox- imity to his room has surely heard the symphonic vocal accomplishment which he provides for his studies. The soothing tones he hums while reading of the love of Both well and Ducky ' s ancestress, Mary Queen of Scots, is not bothersome, but the martial measures aroused by such events as the battle of Marston Moor have at times driven his room-mate and other close neighbors to despair. There is a danger, however, that the royal Scotch line may not be continued for Howard is not interested in w ' omen, has never attended a dance, nor had a date. Furthermore, upon occasion he has shown that he is actually afraid of the opposite sex by hiding in his sanctum sanctorum when that great authority of love Harlan Crowell, has brought feminine visitors to the room. And, in fact, his shyness is not only evinced in connection with women, for there are a large number of his very classmates who have got no further than being able to say hello to Howard, being disconcerted from the start by the uncanny demureness of his demeanor — eyes fixed on the ground and a sly smile sneaking across his face. After four years ' observa- tion of this phenomenon, we are still undecided as to whether he is merely frying to be pleasant, or whether our vest really is buttoned up askew. ■ (the rest is silence). 42 FREDERIC ARTHUR EGMORE,Jr. 19 Elmwood Avenue, NARBERTH, PA.

High Kews Board (1, 2, 3, 4); Advertising Manager (3); Business Manager (4); Graduate J ews Committee; Secretary Treasurer Intercollegiate Newspaper Association (3); Instrumental Club (3,4); Band (3, 4). UNDOUBTEDLY, Fred is the class smoothy in looks, dress, and action; but aside from the classroom and the weekly meetings of the J ews Board, he has seldom been seen around the campus. Being a perpetual day student is Fred ' s alibi for a drab four years of college life, although the business managership of the 7 lews and a job in the Band kept him from dropping out of the picture completely. In spite of his rare appearances, however, he is reputed to be the one responsible for Dick Blair being elected leader of the Instrumental Club. He and Dick used to sit side by side and play the saxophone, Dick about as well as the average player who has learned by mail, and Fred with as much proficiency as if he had picked up his instrument in a second-hand store at a reduced rate because the book of instructions was missing. Coach Weaver, becoming mixed in his identities, thought that Dick was making all the mistakes, and so made him leader in order to silence him. Although bothered by intermittent ambitions for the ministry, Fred is a card and tobacco fiend to no mean degree. This inconsistency is further evidenced by the fact that he has managed to elect practically all of the engineering and philosophy courses which are offered by the College. Of course (we warn him) such a combination can only lead to a badly disordered life, which will be afflicted with neuroses in which he will spend hours determining whether alternating current is teleological, or what is the varying candle power of the Inner Light. Fred ' s greatest curse is probably his beard, which makes it necessary for him to shave twice a day, but even that does not disturb him so much as the menace of the chain store, on which subject, we are told, he is always good for a long discourse.

T yOTE — The editorial policy of this back stairs rag being what it is (no holds barred and a kick in the pants J J for everyone), we nevertheless feel obhged to disregard it in writing up Evans for the same reason that V you don ' t pull a baby ' s hair. Nobody would be more surprised or griped to learn that he gave the general effect of an elf than Ted himself. But with his whimsical mop of hair and innocent face such is indeed the case. Fortunately for him, it is accom- panied by a vast amount of dignity and reserve; were it not for this he would be carried away bodily by the Main Line Amazons. Among Ted ' s extra-curricular vices were Jay Vee Soccer, Chicago, and a hellish delight in subduing Jim Brown when he became too exotic — the latter accomplishment being considerably more to his credit than his sense of humor, w ' hich is on a par with Dougie Steere ' s. This absence of a sense of humor, by the way, accounts for the only faux pas Ted pulled while in college. At a dinner (not stag) he told a hair raising story and neglected to see the point of it until some days later, said story being rather better adapted to the smoking car than the dining room. He still blushes when he meets the girls who were present on the occasion. Like the typical senior of actual campus life (not the glorified soul you hear about in Commencement addresses), he is passionately addicted to the movies and the Scitiirdiiv Eremng Post, with various sub rosa affinities on the side for Life. Liberty and the pursuit of Trocadero parties (which last, they tell, he never quite succeeded in catching up with). Ted has, however, two claims to sophistication. One is an uncanny ability to discriminate between a cipnpedium and a catyla orchid at a distance of two hundred yards: this is a very nice trick and, what ' s more, he can tell you the probable cost of the blossom. His second stunt is somewhat less rare; this consists in playing the Rhapsody in Blue on the piano with considerable feeling.

To anyone who has merely observed his destructive soccer playing or heard his side remarks when bicycle-jousting with Stone, this statement may sound incredible; but we make it in all seriousness and in the fullest confidence of observed data. In a bull session he says Dear, sweet, and lovely Jeesus ; in a soccer game it is something which even the liberal standards of this scandal-sheet do not allow to be inserted; and in Bib Lit class it is Our Lord and Saint Paul. And if this doesn ' t spell pillar of righteousness twenty-five years hence, we don ' t know our business of prophecy. While being disagreeable about it, it might also be mentioned that Bill is one of a number in the class who are afflicted, in a greater or a less degree, with two deadly diseases: scintificitis and athlete ' s brain. The former disease causes its sufferers to look with mingled awe and contempt on all who read books in which anything other than facts and figures is contained; while the chief symptom of the latter is that the patient is driven to take large doses of the movies, with results easily to be imagined. For all this, however. Bill has been one of the more prominent members of the class — mainly as a result of his performances on the soccer field and a strong spirit of what-the-hell. In soccer he has been somewhat of an inno- vator, inventing the trick play known as the Fraaer Fall and then making All-American for three years straight to support his theory that the best way to approach a scrimmage is on the derriere. The manifestations of the spirit of what-the-hell have followed the more conventional collegiate lines of impromptu horseplay, frequent excursions to Poughkeepsie, and a B P religious care never to spend a week-end on the campus.

His ■ ' — chief claim to fame seems to be a radio set that is installed in his car, and we suppose that this is sufficient to make any man or even woman, so far as that goes. The Fourth Entry claims him as one of its coterie, and he is usually in evidence when they stage a flag-raising — which may mean little or nothing. He probably has the most discriminating taste in beer of anyone on the campus and that ' s saying a lot; for on more than one night during the past year you could find enough under- graduates in the various Camden cafes to form a quorum for a Students ' Association Meeting. Another enviable quality that he has in large measure is a feeling for clothes, if you know what we mean. It ' s that elusive some- thing which by its absence is responsible for the devastating sartorial smartness of Uncle Billy. Bob knows what to wear and when. He has also one other claim to fame which thus far has not been generally recognized. After the Arts Ball last year while suffering from delusions of grandeur. Bob kidded himself into believing that he was Launcelot, that Dick Abbott was Guinevere and that his Chrysler was a milk-white steed, and so came a-roaring across the campus lawn to deposit Dick at the Fourth Entry, At this point Jack Blackman happened to wake up, and right then and there conceived the famous Gulp! Gulp editorial. There seems little more to say except that at the Cedar Crest concert of the late lamented Musical Clubs season. Bob was wished off on a girl who would be safe in a lumber camp; and since then he has gone into even greater seclusion than before. HE dMTVMnii.

This was back in the era ot poor Marks when that famous crew almost found themselves patrons of Pierce ' s school and all because they conceived the brilliant pastime of murdering dummies. That year Hanna roomed with Betz; but a full year of exhorting Betzy-boy to git hot produced such extreme results that sophomore year Clark was forced to remove himself from the proximity of the conflagration and journey to New Lloyd. Ever since then Clark has been endeavoring to climb to a more rarified social atmosphere, and forget that horrible episode of good crude fun. In view of his brassy methods and flat-fooded manner, he has achieved a fair amount of success; enough, anyway, that last Christmas vacation, so permanent a fixture was he at the Ritz that he was twice mistaken for a house detective. And speaking of mistaken identity, we ' ve never forgotten that time at a college dance when the woman we brought thought he was the father of a family of midgets who were playing down at the Earle. In spite of all this ceaseless outside activity (not to mention many an hour spent at the telephone repeating Yes, Mother ), Clark has still managed to make himself very much in evidence around College. Cursed with the most irritating sound on the campus for a voice, he has nevertheless obeyed the scriptural injunction not to hide his light under a bushel — and so we have had him bawl us out regu- larly every week in the season in the capacity of cheer-leader. In a less official capacity, his verbal castigations have taken the form of three solid years of Fire! Oh, yeah? and You ' re pretty clever big boy, all proceeding on the general theory that if you yell a thing loud enough and long enough, it somehow becomes excruciatingly witty. These shafts of withering wit were evoked most strongly during the presidential cam- paign of 1928 when Clark, who finds it impossible to believe that God may not be a member of the Republican Party, gathered the faithful around him and led the attack on those vile atheists, the supporters of Smith.

Freshman Track Team; Track (2); Junior Prom Committee; Engineering Club. FRED started his college career with a car that was a year or so out of date and with McConnell as a room-mate. This year he has the most modern and snakiest Packard procurable and rooms with a young lady of similar attractions (they are married). The change was more or less gradual. Sophomore year he again roomed with Mac (which may account for the sickly pallor which spreads over his countenance at the least suggestion of a pun), but got himself a new Packard. Junior year he commuted from East Orange, which resulted in numerous visits to the Dean and in his engagement. Last June he took unto himself the afore- mentioned wife, thus setting a precedent for Al Supplee and doing his bit towards making the class high-scorer in this whole question of college marriages. The briefest consideration of the above paragraph will show why Fred has not participated in the more common extra-curricular activities. Another good reason is found in the requirements of Science, of which he has taken all the courses available. Before the attractions of home and fireside made themselves felt, Fred caused the night-watchman no end of trouble by working in any or all of the lahs at the most ungodly hours of the night. This was particularly noticeable towards the end of each semester, when he conducted perennial experiments in the fine art of completing a half-year ' s work in two or three all-night sessions. With one of the most important goals of ■ ' life-after-college already attained it ' s hard to discover just what Fred will set out to do after leaving these hallowed halls (that had to be worked in somewhere and it might as well be here). He struggled (and we mean every letter of it) through two years of Petey ' s Latin for the sole purpose of forcing the college to give him an Arts degree. Thus armed he will go forth to battle the world. Personally, we believe that he is best fitted to be a Packard salesman. Oh Jesus! 1 iE K JOHN DAVID HYMES Nelson St., BAYSIDE, L. I., N. Y.

The furrowed brows, moreover, seemed somehow mixed up v«th the strange and wonderful influence he exercised over his smaU select foUowing of Rogers and Partington, gathered together during tresh- man year and augmented two years later by Parker Lawrence. By their senior years, Rogers and Partington also had furrowed brows, walked like Hymes. t.ilkcd Uke Hvmes. and even began to look like Hymes. As previously indicated, Johnny shone most, athletically, in the dormitory leagues. In ba kethall and baseball, particularly, he always hovered gracefully on the fringe of the varsity— just near enough as to be able to step down occasionally to the intramurals with regal condescen- sion. But if he did not quite make the grade on the playing field itself, in those other matters of vital interest to the athlete he led the entire College ; by the end of his senior year his schedule held but eleven hours of classes a week. iiits! will ya? li23S so JOHN PAUL JONES 107 Llanfair Road, CYNWYD, PA.

I could tell you the right time if I only had my watch, but I think you will be safe if you say it is, or rather was, ten o ' clock. And so we have the pleasure of presenting the man with the two-in-one voice: there is an echo in each and every syllable. So mellow and melodious are the tones produced by John ' s vocal chords that one is able to hsten to him speak for hours on end, almost without realizing that he has done Uttle more than provide a preface for whatever he is intending to talk about. His abihty to say almost nothing at practically infinite length was first revealed to those fortunate members of the class who formed the membership of the Rhinie Debating Club. When meetings were held to brief cases for debates, John would be reminded of some humor- ous event which occurred in his high school days, and would proceed to tell it in his briefest fashion. One such anecdote would usually consume the hour set aside for the meeting, and the gathering would adjourn. Hard work made John a valuable member of the football team senior year, though the fact that football games are limited in duration to one hour probably hindered him in suggesting any plays in the huddle. But good as he was on the football field, it was in the dining room in the capacity of waiter that John achieved the true heights of genius. His welcoming smile and assiduous attention have made many an under- graduate feel much more at home among the bewhiskered gentlemen who contributed to Haverford in order to have their portraits made targets for butter.

Shorty ' s is a buoyant nature which has been dampened only by the annual search for a roommate and the refusal of his friends to take him seriously. Music is the only sphere in which he has succeeded in becoming an authority, but unfortunately the Glee Club did not realize the talent it was missing in not electing him leader, and accordingly the victrola has been pressed into service to be directed in a haje of arms, seemingly fitted with rubber wrists. His vocal solos are not always appreciated by the neighbors, so occasionally Shorty has taken comfort among the resounding walls of the lavatory, which amplify his voice to tour times its normal volume. But in other realms of culture Frank has not been so successful. Memorable is the occasion when Uncle Billy mentioned pragmatism in class, and he was impelled to buy several volumes of William James, of which only the first page has ever seen the light of day. Shorty is much more at home with Stephen Leacock, and is never so contented as when he can find some unwary person who will listen to him read whimsy or humor ' ous verse. Unfortunately, this passion was repressed Junior year due to Walter Sondheim, who seized every excuse for squelching him, and did it so elfectively that Frank was forced to take refuge in the third floor of South, where he would moan about the rigor of the fates in general, and the necessity of continuing the name of Lindsay in particular. This latter project, of course, necessitated women, and Shorty was adamant in holding to his attitude of the cave man treatment of the sex, caUing up Peg every night to tell her he w ' ould not be over to see her on Friday — until Friday night when he went over to tell her so in person. But even Sondheim could not prevent Shorty from thinking; and one day he decided to become an atheist. Just as suddenly, however, he was converted to paganism to impress his new lady love (age, 16), and now he has returned to the fold of orthodoxy, which, to judge by his general actions, he had never left. It only remains to mention his literary endeavors, which are admirable examples of how great minds run in the same channels. -Oh, well! 52 JOSEPH WALFORD MARTIN 55 Prospect Street, SUMMIT, N. J.

UNOBSERVANT acquaintances might take Joe ' s motto to be To hell with everything, but closer friends are disillusioned to discover that actually it amounts to Onward Christian Soldiers. Rhinie year in the Founders barn (which was always the scene of a bawdy bull session) served to show Joe that there was more to life than w-hat he had learned at home; and, with the usual extreme attitude of a freshman, he proceeded to discard everything existing, w-ith the exception of a parental habit of staying up until un- earthly hours of the night. The pleasure of sorrowfully mentioning the fact that he is not getting enough sleep was too great to permit of that custom going the way of his other heritages. Of course, it must be noted that sleeping fully clothed on top of the bed docs not count as sleep according to Joe ' s rules, so it is easy to see that he can get enough rest, even though the janitor is spared the trouble of making the bed in the morning. And the only power on earth that can keep Joe awake in the afternoon is George Bernard Shaw, whose works he has read many times — all the while giving vent to irrepressible chuckles and snickers which indicate to any observer that Joe has decided that that history thesis can be a few more days late; he must get in the mood to work before he can tackle it again. Blessed with a face which any mother would love for its innocent look, he has done his best to atone for this fault of nature by assuming a colorful vocabulary that is at its best when an unfortunate Rhinie, or some other impressionable creature happens to sit at his table at a meal. That this grasp of language is more apparent than real may be seen at such times as Joe is not in full possession of his faculties — as shortly after being wakened — for then he usually can find only three or four phrases in which to call to the attention of the Deity the gross injustice of this world. While living in South, Joe was an unrivalled supporter of bull ses- sions, making his own stories better each time he told them. Finally, how- ever, he reached a point where he did not even believe all of Monte Saint ' s L 1 - ' ' . ' 1 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' interest in sophomoric subjects declined.

WHETHER he has just asked for a cigarette between rounds of study in the Ubrary, just received an 89.9 average, or just finished second in the half-mile run on the cinder track, P.T. (pronounced Petie ) Martin is worried. He has disturbed the man whom he asked for the smoke; he has not done so well as he might have done in his studies; and he has not brought dear old Haverford all the glory he might have brought on the track. But it is not only about those things which he has done that Petie worries. There is nothing to work him into a fine feeUng ot agony and despair like an exam scheduled for the next day, or a paper to write, or a concert in which he is to sing. Wish him the top of the morning when he is looking forward to one of these events, and then hear the woeful story of how badly he is going to be plumbered. If it weren ' t for his fine shock of gray hair (which has grown more hoary each of his four years at Haverford), he might be suspected of liking that worried feeling. With such a well-developed stock of woes circulating about through his cerebrum, P.T. has scarcely any space left for a memory to keep track of the little things of life. Time after time his hghter-minded room- mates have chortled no end when P.T. returns from a trip to the hbrary to get some notes which he had care- fully stuffed in his inside pocket before starting. P.T. ' s happiest days, we suspect, were when George, tenth baron of Vaux, was king and P.T. was prince ; and the two were thicker than the proverbial molasses. That came to an end sometime last year (we always have meant to run down the cause of the rupture, but somehow never got around to it). Such close association with the nobility did have its effect, however. P.T. acquired that savoir aire while dining and teaing with Bryn Mawr ' s best (or so he claims) that has since accounted for his tremendous success with the younger set of Philadelphia ' s social center workers. Social settlements have provided during the last year both new worries and new joys for him. P.T. is destined for the ministry. We envy those who will be in his flock. No preying worries or gray hairs need be added to their heads on account of venial or mortal sin; P.T. will take all their burdens unto himself, and they can skim light-shouldered, straight up the golden stairs. ■ ' 0.

( O THE casual observer, Bill is the fond mamma ' s conception of the ideal Haverfordian: a sort of cross - between a Y. M. C. A. secretary and a smoothy. But just wait until you get a load of this. Bill loves children, in his sophisticated own way; and as nursemaid for one of his friend ' s little daughters he was de -ilishly happy, it being his wont to try out on this young sufferer all the numerous theories of physics and psychology which intrigued him. The little darling survived the Babinsky Reflex, the Ladd-Franklin theory of color blindness etc., fairly well, but when it occurred to Bill to investigate Experiment No. 9 in Leigh and Palmer (acceleration of falling bodies) dark tragedy ensued. But Bill at least should have got valuable experience out of it and is doubtless all trained by now to get matried, breed children of his own, and try to save his hair. And now, since we have started, we may just as well unveil the whole skeleton. Besides being a Sadist, he ' s a dyed-in-the-wool grafter. Take, for instance, the Junior Prom, the Football and various other dances which he has managed. It is a campus proverb that Masland can run a dance on $2.98 for capital and three bottles of hair tonic for punch; but what happens after the last couple has been shooed out of the gym is not so widely known. The general procedure, our investigators have dis- covered, is for Bill to declare himself a dividend — whether the affair has come out ahead or not — and then betake himself to New York for a braw-1 at Mme. Petipas ' or some other center of what no Haverford student is supposed to be addicted to. And the down payment on his airplane is in some circles held to have resulted from the Junior Prom, when his ordinary honest graft was augmented by making up a big batch of gin in his bedroom the day before the dance and peddling it in the Mary Newtin Smith Memorial Garden that night.

He is a perfect example of wanting something you haven ' t got a Chinaman ' s chance in hell of getting. The only possible thing Mac could be cynical about is George Vaux and he isn ' t worth the effort. As for the poetry — it ' s one jump ahead of John Martin ' s Book and two laps behind Fimn and F?re,5ide. (If this sounds hard and unjust, we don ' t mind telling you that it is being written in February and we have a lousy cold. As a matter of fact, we are very fond of Mac and will regret this vivisection as soon as Mabel ' s red pills start to work.) There is nobody on the campus to equal him in kindness, or anyone who willingly does more dirty work for the good of the College. As football manager, he did a prodigious amount of work for the team — after failing altogether to show up for pre-season practice, as assistant manager. But in these early years Mac ' s energies were pretty well taken up, anyhow, with the conception and carrying out of some of the more spectacular campus horse-play. Back in Rhinie year, for instance, when spring had just struck the campus and that august junior, Gruber, was seated on the windowsill of a third-floor room in Founders, catching the tennis balls and other things thrown up to him by the knot of underclassman on the pavement below, the gay youth McConnell also stepped up to have his fling like the others. The only difference was that Mac ' s tennis ball, upon arriving dispersedly on Gruher ' s hands and face, turned out to be a rotten egg. And at the 1928 Drexel game he managed to gather unto himself some more attention and the nickname Killer by contriving to knock out an- other Haverford rooter in the struggle to protect old alma mater ' s goal posts. The less frivolous side of Mac ' s nature has been largely a matter of intermittent subterranean rumblings on the part of the aforementioned profound thoughts as they strive to hurst to the surface. Occasionally there have been violent eruptions, as the time in Meeting when Mac rose to the rescue of the epithet Christer and the glorification of the he-man Jesus; but most of the McConnell mental processes have passed off as harmless steam in two years of perpetual questionings of Rufus and Elihu on the differences between the Quakers and what Mac was brought up to beheve are the Christians.

Such are the chief roles assumed in public by Charles Weaver Miller, Jr., variously known to his intimates as Charlie , Little Nemo , the Reverend and numerous other things more vivid and less complimentary. The aforementioned intimates, strangely enough, know him rather as one who can dehver the best burlesque sermon (against those damned Modernists) and, aided by his flagpole build, the most ridiculous baby-act in the class. And occasionally he gets himself what he fondly believes to be a good five-cent cigar, hauls out the old derby and assumes the role of Bill Vare ' s first lieutenant — though freely admitting that the greatest mistake of his college career was the time he dabbled in ' Htws Board politics. But the debating, as his most public appearance, is probably most worthy of note especially his fortunately inimitable manner of speaking. Arising with a ponderous bow, he immediately imagines someone spread-eagled on the celling in the rear of the room and, fixing his eyes mesmerically upon this peculiar auditor, proceeds to deliver his address in the ghostly tones which the Inner Light might be expected to employ in one of his collo- quies with Rufus. Though logically excellent, his speech is canned, his delivery undemonstrative and his points, like Dr. Watson ' s trousers, are never pressed. Like most such debaters, therefore, Charlie is convinced that he himself has not only a wholly rational and unprejudiced, but also a balanced mind. Which in itself is an interesting phenomenon, it apparently working on the pendulum principle. In a gathering of wets he is a dry — and vice versa; at a pacifist rally he will run up the flag and rattle the sword — and vice versa; and in a roomful of atheists he will even stick up for God. He is all for going to a ball game one day and utterly scornful of the childish pastime of baseball the next; he will damn the stupidity of the movies on Tuesday night and go with you on Wednesday: this is what he calls a balanced mind- doubtless on the principle that jumbled together they all cancel out, leaving an absolute and perfectly balanced sero.

JF YOU see a mass of red hair overtopping a perpetually scared e.xpression, and a leather jacket, which, hy its appearance, must have seen the snows of many a winter as well as the gravy of many a Founder ' s dinner; or if you hear an authoritative voice pronouncing historical facts, telling humorous stories, or swearing with a religious fervor that can be equalled hy no other living person, then you will know that you are beholding Bar- dolph, the king of Founders Hall. At first it was probably the attraction of Willy Alsop which kept him there, but later he became so used to the odors of old Founders that he could not be moved. Mussey and Dik Ezerman were soon attracted into this orbit to form, with Bardolph, a trio which w-as inseparable until senior year, when the first two deserted, leaving Joe alone to dispense words of wisdom to the Rhinies and read the Uniojitou)7i Morning Herald in cozy Canside Cottage. Bardolph has succeeded in building up illusions about himself both in the minds of others and in his own. In the former case, due to his soul-stirring swearing, he is regarded as an abandoned roue, by the forces of right- eousness — and Bardolph himself also makes the same error in his own mind, in addition to fondly believirs that he IS one of the intelligentsia. But this ability at illusion-forming has its useful side, for when it is practiced on the Faculty it results in a very high powered example of what Uncle Billy is firmly convinced does not exist at Haverford. When he is in his usual form it is a rare professor who is not convinced that Joe is entitled to special consideration when the grades are to be recorded. The most characteristic thing about Bardolph, however, is his pro- pensity for shooting the bull, whether about past or future events. His stories of the past are obviously impossible, and, having routed him out of bed on numerous occasions when he swore he would stay up all night to study history exam, we no longer beUeve what he says about the future.

IN ONE of those inspired moments which come only of real communion with the Inner Light, Irish Logan named Alexander David MiUiken Butcher . The name stuck — Lord, how it stuck. Even Butch himself admits that there are long stretches when he forgets that fond parents christened him otherwise. In fact he tells the story of a girl once introducing him to her mother as Butch and his consequent correction: Butcher, please. Take a good look at the photograph, supra, add a grain of imagination, and you will have little difficulty in surmising why such an appropriate label has stuck. Butch blew into college from the wilds of the cranberry country in New Jersey, the third largest and certainly the first noisiest member of the class — and such he has indisputably remained. His roarings and bellowings in freshman algebra class delighted f(x) s sensible ear more than anyone else ' s for decades; he literally laughed himself through the course. With such qualifications, Milliken had little difficulty m making the varsity football team his freshman year. Excepting those frequent periods w-hen a trick knee was out of commission (Butch could be found after lunch almost any day during football season baking the delicate member under Mabel ' s sun-ray lamp), he played on the team all four years. Not quite the type for track or tennis, or even for cricket (again cf photo, supra with that of members of the cricket squad, infra), in the spring Butch gave his attentions to the management of the baseball team, most of whose members he numbered as pals . In thinking of the Butcher, one is all too apt to forget that he attended classes at all. It is not hard to picture him taking out his man on either the gridiron or the brass rail, but quite difficult to visualize him reading, with expression, Shelley ' s Ode to the West Wind . Yet the records will show that he was an English major; and it was not at all uncommon to hear Butch exclaim, in the midst of writing a thesis, that So-and-So was god-dam interesting . Hut Butche ' s first love, like that of the late sainted Francis Barton Gummere, out of the whole field of literature is the popular ballad.

HIS face is cherubic, his mind childish, his capacity for hard work enormous and his name Morris. Not THE Morrisof Ha verford College, of course, but only one of them: this is Brew, and he is related to half the others — not only in College, but throughout the length and breadth of the Main Line. Which last may possibly account for all the rest. It will probably remain one of the unsolved problems of class history whether Brew came to college naturally childish, or whether it was merely his reaction to Ward Breugel — since perpetuated by rooming with Oogley Robelen. In any event, it is certain that Ward ' s rooming near him in North made life more exciting both for him and for Ward; and it is probable that he owes many other things, such as the high caliber of his marksman- ship with the wash-bottle in the chem lab, to Ward ' s general stimulus as well. Since the much lamented depar- ture of Breugel, he has endeavored to sublimate his excess energy in such things as the business managership of the Record and the Musical Clubs, and perennial A averages; hut even these have proved inadequate and his childish pranks have sought other targets with, at times, grievous accuracy. He has probably broken more windows with snowballs than all the other members of the Student Council put together. Haverford ' s Quaker training has not been lost on Brewster: he has the Busy-Beaver-Man complex worse than Hoover. Summers, for instance, instead of going in for graceful loafing or selling Bibles in the approved collegiate fashion, he insists on going up to Labrador to slave as a wop for the Grenfell Mission. And he will play greasy grind to insure his 95 average. Haverford has also set her stamp of shrewdness upon Brew: he has managed to worm his way into most of the good things on the campus — the Musical Clubs, for instance (they go to Atlantic City), and the cricket team (it is to tour Canada this summer). And in nothing is his innocent appearance more deceiving than in a financial deal: he is the first to use them himself — fortunately on behalf of this Record. If the Record does manage to stay out of bankruptcy, it will be because his cherubic countenance has fooled enough hard-boiled business men into I F forgetting their natural suspicions and taking an ad in the book.

Oh, you go to Hay-verford? Down in Pennsylvania — somewhere near Pittsburgh, isn ' t it? No? Well, anyway, that ' s where that big Morris man goes, doesn ' t he? You know, I met him last week and we sat out a dance and he hardly said anything — sorta bashful! But my brother says he ' s one of the best weightmen in the East and the greatest athalete that Haverford ever had. . . . No, let ' s not dance just yet — I wanta hear some more about him. You say he was captain of football and track? Eemagine ! Well, he looks sorta masterful — big and strong and silent — like a Greek god or a tongue-tied iceman or something. I wish I ' d known what a big man he was when I met him, so I could have been even more impressed. . . . You say some girl called him ' Chubby ' ? Yeh, I guess he would get fat, if he stopped being ithaletic and all that. Anyway, I like ' Chubby ' better than ' Egg ' . He wouldn ' t teV me why they call him ' Egg ' — I guess it must have something to do with being hard-boiled — ha! ha! And he ' s in love? — what a pity! . . . You say he knows a lot about engineering?

( 7  0 THE scientifically minded, Ted is probably the outsunding proof in College that, though childishness (O may run in the family, brains necessarily don ' t. Or perhaps he has only felt it his duty to maintain a proper balance in such matters and, while Brew sits firmly perched on the top of the grades-ladder, to keep careful watch over the bottom rungs. So faithfully did he perform this duty, indeed, that the College farmed him out to Labrador after his first year, otherwise he would never have been a Thirty-ite at all. While we were still back in prep school sweating over Vergil and Ovid, Ted was already at Haverford learning that the liver is the warhorse of the body — and when we had long since clambered over this obstacle and passed on to higher hazards, he was still firmly astride the old warhorse. So long, in fact, was his ride on this beastie that he still lists it as his chief e.xtra-curricular activity: Biology la (1, 2, 3). Ted ' s most spectacular activity, however, was confined almost entirely to his junior year. Along about April or May of last year, by some devious means, he chanced on a gaunt old house up Devon way. Of course, there was nothing so queer in that; but how would you explain the twenty or so little outhouses scattered all over the establishment ' s lawn? Ted, who has a ferreting-out type of mind (someone has said that he needs only high shoes and a derby hat to look like a plain-clothes detective), naturally decided to investigate; and when the place turned out to be a fireworks arsenal working on the theory that you don ' t put all your crackers in one basket, he apparently bought a whole outhouse wholesale. In any event, he certainly set out to be a specialist in his own cute way, open season being immediately de clared for homo collegiens (professors and janitors included) anywhere on the campus precincts. We recommend the last act of Journey ' s End as a mild portrayal of the general effect. Tat and the over- worked Ardmore police finally established order, but by that time Ted was a miniature Napoleon. Whether or not the arsenal ' s explosion during the spring vacation of this year marked an attempt to return from Elba, we frankly don ' t know.

Having his own father for principal of his high school alma mater (Evander Childs, the school with elevators and a monster lunch-room, which produced Helen Kane, the Hogenauers and Milton Giving Norr) got Miurdm into bad habits which he has been unable to break — for although he may consider a class to be an utter waste of time, he would no more think of cutting it than he would of telling Uncle Billy what he thinks of him to his face. And in between classes he pounds the hooks with the regularity of a trip-hammer, on the general principle that it does not matter a free ticket to a Haverford Musical Club ' s concert what things you study or why, so long as you study them and get a Corp Scholarship and Phi Bete for doing so. The result of all this is that Norr has consistently accumulated some of the bigger and better averages about the College: for most of the past year, indeed, whenever Oscar ' s book has been opened, his name, like Abou Ben Adhem ' s, has led all the rest. But to anyone who thinks that averages are indicative of the amount of education received, Muirdm may he geld up as a horrible example. For four years he has rigorously defended every idea which he was taught at home and stubbornly refused to admit the existence of any others. Realizing that he is to be one of the Napoleons of Wall Street himself, he is quite satisfied with things as they are, and refuses to believe that they will ever change or ever have changed. For more fervently than any Episcopal bishop, Muirdm can soulfully sing, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. On the whole, college has brought just two new things to him: a nickname, and the astounding realization that there are religious people in the world. The name of Miurdm was the result of the embellishment of his Christian name on the Rhinie tag on the door of 21 Founders, and has clung to him ever since; whereas the strong stench of sanctity -1 .en off by a typical Haverford Rhinie class has finally served to con- ! ce him that New York is not America after all. But get him on to the subject of the Holy Trinity himself and you h.jvc in store for you five minutes of some of the most withering wit on the campus.

WHEN Dante formulated his universe, he made the mistake of saying that heaven and hell are widely separated: whereas everyone at Haverford knows that the third and fourth entries of Lloyd are right next to each other. We never have been quite sure as to Bob ' s position in the heavenly hierarchy which inhabits the former. Casually passing him on the walk, we have been inclined to say he was an angel, but when waiting for him to open the library we got the idea that his real position might be that of Saint Peter. On the other hand, when he came to collect the class dues we were certain he did not belong in heaven at all — but then when the refund was announced and we received five dollars back, we were positive that he was one of the leading char- acters of the Bible. And, although we had not intended to complete the list in such short order, that just about sums up Bob. Of course, he has subjected himself to contamination by playing on the baseball team, and he has also indulged in singing with the Glee Club, but they are unimportant phases of his existence. No one since the days of Kingsley Leeds has lent such an air of beauty, rest, and quiet to the library, as Bob has done, while his attitude in Rufus ' classes is a model for all others. Realizing that there is a hidden Shylock behind this innocent exterior, the class has elected him permanent treasurer — the man who sends out regular appeals enclosing stamped envelopes and who does not even get the stamps back. No doubt this work will be right in line with his chosen occupation of wheedling small change out of a church congregation; but tor our own sake we hope he is not too successful.

Triumphant engineering. These are the gods of Partington. From the first belch re-echoing from the end of the soccer field to the other, Rhinie year, to the last problem in dynamos and steam turbines. Senior year, the pursuit of the red-blooded he-man and the adventuring engineer have obsessed Jim ' s mind. He takes them both with an unbehevable seriousness, which no one who has ever discussed bridge-building with him, seen him departing on a date, or sat near him in a cheering section, can ever doubt. For one who forsook the paths of athletics with his sophomore gym exam, he is probably the nearest approach these decadent days can offer to the fabled 100 per cent he-Haverfordians of Jimmy Babbitt. (Yes, and you know what we think of Jimmy Babbitt.) He is the perfect rooter: it is a case with him of, My college! May she always play a good game, but good or bad, my college! From freshman year, when he won Harman ' s cup for bumming his way to the most away-games, to this year, when he was one of the leading evangeUsts of the band, he has been the mainstay of Hanna and Betz in their efforts to make Walton Field safe for pan- demonium. How the football team can continue to win victories next year when Partington ' s enraged bellow of, Come on team! In there awUl the time, boy! no longer assaults the eardrums, we are unable to imagine. It is also a central tenet of Jim ' s virility creed, and a cherished conviction .to boot, that he is a very devil with the women. The proper reply, of course, being What women? with the emphasis on the what, the women or the interrogation mark, acccording to how well you like Jim. Anyhow, judging from the frequency with which the black hair is slicked down, the snappy tie straightened and the rakish derby donned, he is certainly a very devil with some women and, we should judge, several laps ahead of his pals, Rogers, and Parker Lawrence. But with regard to one quality, at least, all cynicism fades feebly away: Jim can belch tar louder and longer than any man who ever went to Haverford College. And, boy, is she hot! 63 H.

Scientific Society; Liberal Club; Class- ical Club; Play (3, 4); New English Club; Play (4); Glee Club (4). WITH the aid of the nickname Baron and a mustache which was grown as a horrible piece of revenge on his family, Plank has spent the greater part of his college career in endeavoring to cultivate the im- pression that he is the sophisticated scion of one of the best famiHes of Williamsport. As a side-line he has also dabbled in the sport of social climbing, in this case with the aid of Vaux and Crowell. But even these activities have their limits as time-killers, so he spends the remainder of his life playing bridge. Probably only Crowell spends more time pulling aces out of his sleeve. Unfortunately, the College authorities have the annoying idea that students are here to study, and this has necessitated some slight acquiescence on Plank ' s part; but it has become a very minor phase of his life ever since the day he discovered that there were such things as courses in Biblical Literature and Music. Assiduously cultivated friendships with professors have also aided in smoothing the path of knowledge for Plank though he cannot be blamed too severely for indulging in this sport, since it was undoubtedly the famous Fireballs who got him into evil ways. The latter, it may be mentioned, was often an unwelcome visitor but Plank never let the time go to waste and usually succeeded in convincing his guest that he really had to have an A. That was his first conquest, and since then he has spread his activities to other fields of learning with similar success because the professors did not realize that he was one of those young men whom Haverford is not interested in educating. The influence of Jack Hartman on Plank has been well nigh incal- culable, and ever since rooming with him, the Baron ' s manner of speaking has been patterned after that of the village gossip. Not that that is to be deplored, though. On the contrary, it only serves to convince the listener that here is a wit and an esthete. And, of course, from one of the best families. M d. ' dr.

CAVE RICHIE has been Haverford ' s only honest-to-God world reformer since Royal Davis left college. Others given to standing up for Our Lord or the Common People (as the case might be) can usually be reduced to the yes — but stage after five minutes of good strong argument. Not so Dave. He is not intolerant about it, but whenever he is convinced that a matter of vital principle is involved, his face hardens into the set expression of the Quaker lad on the College seal and neither threats nor ridicule can move him. In the face of six tomes of figures he would contend that the experiment of communist Russia was a success; in the face of a flunk from Dolly Barrett he would uphold government ownership of electric power; and even if the whole student body joined hands and did a drunken dance around him, Dave would still say Prohibition worked. Naturally, there is little that can be done in the way of extensive reform in this black-hole of conservatism, so Dave has been forced to spend his week-ends at a wide variety of social and religious conferences on any topic from Unemployment among the Pavement Sweepers of Outer Mongolia to the Bigamy Situation Among Turkish Quakers. After a Saturday and Sunday of such uplift, he returns to College more convinced than ever that life is real, life is earnest, that service is its goal and that acquaintances made at co-ed conferences are worth continuing. Unfortunately, Dave has not been able to reduce his plans for a new international order to so attractive a level. Unsympathetic observers have gathered that his program consists of Peace, if we have to fight for it! and a new deal for the proletariat by abolishing the navy and convert- ing the battleships into rum-runners; so Dave has abandoned the propa- ganda of words and adopted the subtler means of wearing the world ' s loudest blue beret to express his revolutionary outlook. Whether, when worn on the soccer field, this atrocity has attracted many referees and opposing players to socialism is rather doubtful, but it certainly has attracted enough attention to David S. Richie to win him AU-American mention for the last two years. Noting, finally, that David is (a) a Quaker, (b) a prospective teacher and (c) no more able to appear well-dressed than Uncle Billy, we deviate from our usual custom and make one prophecy: if he perseveres in all these tendencies, David will one day be president of Havcrford College.

Born 1906 Entered from George School in 1926- Cricket Team (1, 2, 3, 4), Numerals (1 2), H (3); Manager (3.4), Scientific Society; Engineers ' Club, Executive Committee (4). SOME twenty-four years ago in the house next to the Raskohs (and don ' t you forget it) in Claymont, Del., a child was born. Fond parents named it William Godfrey Robelen. For eight years the child grew, waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom. There followed a period the events of which even the most speculative historians of the class have been unable to deduce. Somehow, somewhere, William Godfrey must have had some schooling in the seven liberal arts; such schooling is demanded by those demons who see to it that not more than eighty enter each freshman class. But the first sentence that his classmates heard Robelen speak was composed of a strange combination of oogles and googles which clearly indicated that somewhere inside the giant body lived the child spirit. Four years at Haverford (including French 2) have failed to stifle the child. Oogley (for as such William Godfrey has been known since the first time he goosed Cocheu) never took to book-larning, as the frontiersmen have it. As has been hinted, his experiences with the Gallic tongue were somewhat disastrous; and with what other subjects taught in Chase he came into contact, he was not exactly successful. But give Oogley a hammer, a pair of pHers, and a cold chisel; thrust him into the engineering lab.; and within the hour, he will come out with some sort of a machine which will wnr . No impractical theory for Robelen. When he develed into science, it was that branch which had wheels and cogs and pistons. Witness the miniature steam engine which he built during his sophomore year. It would run — either with compressed air or steam, and only last month he was considering the purchase of a quart of liquid air to give the engine a try with the gas emitted therefrom. But even the steam engine was impractical compared to some of Oogley ' s other scientific works. What need was there for a man of such genius to go out in the cold to summon a resident of the next entry of Lloyd to the phone? None, of course. So Robelen rigged an electric telegraph system between his own room and that of Roger Bloom in the next entry, and proceeded to drive less scientifi- cally minded souls to distraction by translating his oogles and googles into clickings and clackings and sending them over the wire. It was only a thorough bit of research on the part of the editors that revealed Oogley ' s one mis-step while in college. As these scientists will now and then, he and Brew Morris (and thus was lost another item of our faith in the Eternal Goodness) one night decided to see life as it really is, and went to the Troc.

Club; Engineers Club. i FTER patient research we announce to our public that the outstanding pecuUarity of this specimen yH is that he doesn ' t have any. There are several things in his past history that look it, but really they aren ' t. Rhinie year, for instance, he roomed with Stone in the Tower and remained unruffled — but that wasn ' t a peculiarity, it was a miracle. Then came his terrifying propensity for discussing the Hebraic society of Baltimore on any and all occasions — yet this too was no peculiarity proper, but merely a disease contracted from Sondheim and Katz. And even his Horatio Alger rise on the soccer field from the nth team to J. V. goalie can ' t validly qualify as peculiar; for according to the eloquent Arlington ' s opening-practice address Rhinie year, all of us could have done the same thing — if Ed and ten other people hadn ' t cornered the J. V. positions. There are problems about him, of course, but none major enough to be called peculiar. How, for ex- ample, did he come by the nickname Musgrave ? What does having Christmas for a birthday make him? And does his beard worry him (this, so far as we can learn, is the only thing that does) because it won ' t actually sprout into a full-blown bush, or rather because it insists on trying? But take him all in all, he remains de- pressingly and damningly sane. If being unknown to the Law is any criterion of rectitude, he is probably the most spotless saint in the class: his spouse Westermann, at any rate, swears to an anecdote to this effect. At the beginning of the current year, it seems. Uncle Billy was having one of those heart to heart talks with Westermann through some anxiety as to whether Ted ' s career at Haverford was really the guarded education in morals and manners advertised in the college catalogue. Well, whom are you going to room with, inquired Authority, if W ' i vou ' re re-admitted? Rosewater, quoth Ted. Who? Rose- I ' ater. He ' s a senior. Well, replied the Administration, this r 1 ' news to me. In all the three years he ' s been here I never even knew |- Ikt there was such a person. The halo has been ordered. - ' - ' And, as Sondheim used to say, Well, Ed, you ' re the second one of f ur boys born on December 25th who ' s made good. ' Weil, t ai God, I ' ve got Iwo of those problems done. 69 HARLOW BUSHBY ROWELL 4823 Beaumont Ave., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Born, 1909 Entered from West Philadelphia High School in 1926. Class Vice-President (3); Corporation Scholar (4); J. V. Tennis (4). CTy ' ANY are those who are presented to the world as wolves in sheep ' s clothing; we, on the contrary,  ' • ' • ' present herewith a sheep in man ' s clothing. When vengeance is being wreaked upon Hairy for one of the vile puns to which he is mildly addicted, he will utter a frightened bleat, dive into the nearest easy chair and try to crawl under the pillows, finally emerging with his head hanging and a sly sheepish grin upon his face. And when others venture on puns, the comment of Harlow Bushby is a gentle but firm Baa! Even a year in the Founders barn Rhinie year could not break Hairy of his healthful habits. Long after others had succumbed to the pernicious influence of the night life of Haverford, he could be seen wending his way along the hall at ten-thirty in his pajamas with his tooth brush drooping at an angle of 45 out of one corner of his mouth. Of course, there is some shght evidence of sinfulness in his mild addiction to bridge playing during senior year; and back in the unremembered wickedness of sophomore year, he was caught indulging in a tentative cigarette. But, on the whole, his diversions have been of the order of those in which he and Oogley participated Rhinie year. And as a matter of record it might be noted here that it was Oogley who dubbed him Rowly-Rowly. A future medico by intense conviction and, at the same time, to all appearances a thorough-going celibate, Hairy has cleverly sublimated one passion and indulged the other all through the past year by teaching the facts of life to his coterie of rats on the third floor of Sharpless, and then playing midwife. Apparently the idea is to enter the profession of ob- stetrician on the ground floor and work up. Finally, in a book little given to recording virtues of character, an excep- tion should be made to state that Hairy has only been known to get angry once and that was when a group of unscrupulous friends tried to drag him to the druggery against his wishes.

Soccer Team (2); Soccer Team (3, 4); H (3, 4); Track Team (2, 3, 4); H (2, 3, 4); Class Secretary (4); Fresh- man Advisory Committee (4). JN THE midst of all the discussion raging in the class as to which one would come back to bum the most tree meals from the College, it was suddenly announced that Newm was to be Fritzie ' s assistant in the physics department next year. That settled that. Since Fritzie himself trained Newm, there can be no complaint about the knowledge which he possesses for his job, and, after living near him for four years, we can testify with all sincerity that he possesses the requisite moral standards to set the noble example which faculty members are supposed to maintain. For, you see, Newm is a minister ' s son, and has turned out to be exactly what such a person should be, yet never is. It is, of course, no feat at all to resist the hordes of skirted human beings continually being dragged in by Crowell, but a Chalfonte-Haddon Hall waitress is more of a temptation; and Newm, we are sorry to divulge, yielded upon one occasion, along with those other two roues, Wickersham and Beanie Blair. That, however, was only a momentary weakness and did not seriously affect his habit of going to Overbrook twice each week for a date No doubt the home-town papers have chronicled ere this the fact that the local boy has made good in athletic lines, for it was sophomore year that Newm cracked the college record in the 2-mile, and junior year that he made the soccer team. The latter is the biggest surprise — because back in freshman year we remember he used to play with us on Arlington Evans ' elect ninth squad, along with Ward Bruegel and Knipp, of Waukie- ,_j _ ' ■ 1 1 m Waukie-Wau renown. You were considered rather good on that squad y vil C ' ■ S?

Also spinach, oatmeal, and crusts of bread. He is in bed every night ) at ten, gets up at seven every morning, and does daily setting-up exercises before eating a hearty breakfast. He was a first-class scout with nineteen merit badges (if Friends are permitted to join an organization which marches in columns), was raised on Bordon ' s Eagle Brand milk, and learned early in life that anyone who smoked a cigarette or drank a glass of beer would die either of nicotine or alchohol liver. None of the state- ments has been verified, you understand, but they are as much a part of the class ' s credo as that Ralphie At- kinson never arrived on time at any class. In other words, Dan Smiley is (a) the picture of health (an attack of scarlet fever last winter notwithstanding), (b) one of the more cheerful and pleasant members of the class, (c) a boy without an enemy, and (d) the one person on the campus, about whom on Commencement Day our mothers are going to say, Isn ' t he a nice-looking fellow! It he weren ' t so damned bow-legged and dumb — That wasn ' t a bit kind. Dan ' l has excelled in four different and distinct fields at Havertord. He can climb a tree more neatly, more quickly, and with more consummate skill than any other member of the class. With a large block of stock in the Emlen-Hiatt Vogeliagen ' ereni, he has managed to accumulate, we dare say, nine-tenths of the whole class ' s knowledge of our little feathered friends. His knowledge of the jiggers and gee-gaws in the back room of the Hilles Laboratory brought him the Lord-high-whatnot-ship of the Engineering club. And his knickers have consistently been the longest and baggiest on the campus. Don ' t ever again let it be said Dan Smiley isn ' t a man of accomplishment. Can you tell a dotterel from an osprey, or climb a tree with consummate skill? Yet you, too, are going to get a diploma just as good as Smiley ' s. Not knowing exactly what Dan ' s hfe ambition is, we are going to make a suggestion. That other great advocate of clean living, Dan Beard of the B. S. A. (Boy Scouts of America, evil one!) is going to die one of these days. Why not Smiley for his successor? He will be able to talk to his boys straight from the shoulder, as man to man; will not cause any confusion, for he also can be called that great old scout, Dan ; and will be a stirring example of what clean living, with not even a i i... fctU - i. dirty story to darken his record, can do.

Freshman Debating Team; Class De- bating Team (1, 2, 3); Manager of Debating (3, 4); Chairman of Debating Council (4); Instrumental Club (3, 4); Classical Club Play (4). CTk P ERELY looking at Dave suffices to convince one that he is one of the small but important personages j r on the campus. His authoritative and serious manner of speaking combined with an aggressive swagger give the impression of one w-ho is going places and doing things. And that is just the truth. A very able speaker, his spare time in the later years of his college career was spent in deUvering speeches on peace before such crowds as various churches and Rotary Clubs could assemble; whereas at the College it- self, his sarcastic wit was vented upon unsuspecting opponents in many a debate. But unlike most college orators, Dave does not intend to study law; instead,heplans toenter a theological seminary and do his spell-binding in a position where no rebuttal is brooked. It is our opinion that Dave is admirably suited to the calling of a minister of the gospel, for he possesses a fine discrimination in hell-raising which is rarely attained by other members of the class. Not wishing to be a prude or have the air of an old man, he is not averse to participating in any infantile procedure or telling a sophomoric story with all the lurid details; but such sport soon palls with him and when he personally calls a halt, all those who continue are named childish or vulgar — as the case may be — in no uncertain terms. Dave has that confidential manner ot speaking so desirable in an insurance agent; to hear him use a phrase such as, The other day when I was talking to Neddie, one would think that he w as a bosom companion of all the members of the faculty and had learned all the unrevealed scandal TfX - ' m about them. He also is a member of that peculiarly Haverford group which uses the College as a country club in which one may spend the night when there is nothing of interest to be done at home, and the result is that the Pennsylvania Railroad makes handsome profits out of his commuting tickets. On the whole, though, we prophesy success for Dave, for if he is as I razen in asking his congregation for large offerings as he was in crashing the gate with his w-oman at several football games last fall, he will have no difficulty in collecting the last cent of his salary.

Track (2, 3); Classical Club. 6RN1E STILLER came to College on a bet; said bet being that it is impossible to survive four years of college and be just as much of a Pennsylvania Dutchman upon leaving as upon entering. Ernie won. But don ' t think for one minute that there isn ' t a load of the Old Nick in Ernie. Among the milder manifestations are his propensities for blustering into the room and ordering the inhabitants to get to work in gruff tones, and coming at Joe Martin suddenly from the rear with a shaking mane and a frightful roar which provides the latter with a reason for stopping work. Those diversions, however, are not sufficient to sublimate all of Ernie ' s animal passions, so he often makes threats of taking a walk down Callowhill Street of a spring evening, and occasionally does get as far toward his goal as the Bijou. But this, so far as we can learn, is the limit of the Stiller hell raising. Of course, it is just barely possible that he is one of the few of the class who really have been seeing life while the rest of us just sit around in the proverbial fashion and theorize about it over our port. And again there is a remote possibility that Drake keeps a mistress in at the Barclay, and that Crowell and Shirk are the editors of The Americini Mercury in disguise. And, we had never thought of it before, but Dave Spelt just might be the long lost Charlie Ross. One thing certain, though, is that Ernie and the American Tragedy (our own name for Drake) have never ruined an evening for us at a college dance by making the women we brought. On the other hand, Ernie did serve to brighten several ot tl e deadliest of Dougie Steere ' s Phil 7 discussion groups by revealing his intimate knowledge of the anatomy and passions of cows.

A MONG the more picturesque exhibits of the class in point of appearance and especially of language, we - • have John Freeman Stone. Bones is the epitome of gay abandon with his childish face and broad grin; but any illusions on this score are likely to be dispelled whe n he opens his mouth to air his disapproval of some- one. For sheer earthiness and originality of expression he has no equal this side of the Barbary Coast. Casual acquaintance with Bones would lead one to suspect him of all the better known vices and sins of the flesh, whereas as a matter of fact we know of no one, among the White Men of the campus, who is possessed of better principles. Every morning is a potential Roman holiday for Stone. If nothing better turns up, he upsets all the furniture in his room and knocks a door off its hinges. When this sort of entertainment palls, he is accustomed to make long treks to Brooklyn, New Hope or some equally exotic place to give a girl the benefit of his brain storm. Considerable of his libidinal energy was sublimated on the bass drum during his senior year. Up until the Johns Hopkins game, he stuck to the cut and dried forms of drum beating; but from this point on he branched out into a technique that has become famous. Afterwards, whenever and God willing, the band reached the middle portion of the Stars and Stripes Forever Bones would break into a performance, which for sheer artistry of flailing hands and intertwined arms absolutely cannot be equalled anywhere in this sink of Quaker quiet. What the spectators on the football field failed to see, however, were the long hours of practice with Indian clubs in the privacy of his bedroom and their sometimes tragic results: on one occasion a practice session ended in the destruction of a short-quart, syphon and two glasses that Masland had carelessly left on a nearby table.

FOUL whispers of slander have gone up and down the dingy dormitories of Haverford College for four years concerning one Albert Irvin Supplee. It has been insinuated that, in spite of his obvious utility on the diamond or the basketball court, he is a dead loss in a philosophical discussion, that he has failed to take full advantage of the educational opportunities of this institution, and even that he is mentally incapable of doing so. These are serious charges: and in the interest of truth and a classmate ' s reputation, therfore, your correspond- ent has taken it upon himself to probe them to the bottom and see what foundation — if any — they rest on. Most of those not founded on pure hearsay seem to go back to an incident in the early part of junior year. Elihu, in his facetious way, had given out an assignment of a few things I want you to look up in the Book of Matthew ; and so, faithfully to the library marched the tall form of a Supplee. He investigated the reserve bookshelf, he hunted through the card catalogue, heranover the titles of the reserved books once more. Finally, in desperation, he walked to the desk and appealed to Leeds: Say, Kingsley, do you know where I can find this book Matthew? But this was Hen, not Al. How calumnious it would be to attribute such a thing to Al may be seen from a second incident of last year. In one of the occasional recesses of the Fourth Entry directors ' meetings the talk happened to stray somehow onto a discussion of prehistoric monsters; and Corson, in attempting to get his ideas across, gave vent to the gross mispronunciation of dinosewer . But Al rose to the occasion nobly and corrected the Beagle with a resounding dinosour. ' — and the Sour they have called him ever since. With foul slander thus disposed of and his cavortings on diamond and court treated elsewhere (I ' ide p. 1 1 1 ct seq.), there remains only one distinc - tion to be noted about Souplee (accent the first syllable, please). He is the second man in the class to acquire a wife before a degree. Well, pal— 76 FREDERICK WOOD SWAN 3707 Fort Hamilton Parkway, BROOKLYN, N. Y. Born 1907 Entered from Moses Brown School in 1926.

HAVERFORDIANS of recent years have been spared much trouble in answering that most perplexing of ethical questions, What would Jesus do? by turning to observe the actions of Fred Swan. A pillar of righteousness himself, he is also the professional redeemer of the College at large from all the devious ways of sin. The inroads of student government may not have made it impossible for the faculty to keep on providing sound and liberal instruction in literature and science , as the catalogue states it; but it has become increasingly difficult for Authority to combine the above with a religious care over the morals and manners of the student body — and Fred it has been w-ho stepped in to fill the breach. In the days when the spirit of disorganization was rampant at the College and the press of the nation (i. e. the Philadelphia papers carried squibs on it and one or two out-of-town sheets copied) was heralding the abohtion of the Y as an example of growing irreligion in the colleges of the country, it was Fred Swan who, with his cohorts, succeeded in founding the Christian Union, an organization which was to preserve in pseudo- orthodox fashion certain indispensable mherited religious tendencies. So interested did Fred become in this labor of sublimated love that even his roommates have given him the middle initials C. U. Then, with the Union organized and Haverford again made safe for religion, Fred widened his horizon and sought to make the world safe for the future. For two weeks he tramped the dormitories with peace polls and pledges, breaking profound discussions on ice hockey or Joan Crawford only to be asked in bewildered tones what all this world peace business was, anyhow. But organized morality did not take up all of Fred ' s time, and he has made his Christianizing influence felt in other ways as well. Ordinarily a head waiter is little more than a fixture, but in that capacity Fred has been a reformer also and undertaken to frown down the blasphemous language evoked by Monday lunches. That stare of stern reproof is sufficient to squelch anyone but J. Bardolph Miller. Finally, if we were not strictly forbidden by the editor to indulge in prophecies, we would describe Fred ' s adventures, some day, as leader of a national crusade against that unspekable vileness, the foul cigarette.

The S2.i.00 safely stowed away, he promptly withdrew into his shell again and proceeded to become fully as big a mystery as either he or Bencolin ever had to solve. And he is just as much of a mystery now as he was four years ago; but with all this time to gather clues, we have succeeded in uncovering a few facts about him. Said facts being; 1. That his apparent indifference to everything is a defense mechanism calculated to cover up an inferiority complex. (Whether the complex is justified or not, we tactfully leave unsettled.) 2. That his A averages are not entirely due to native intelhgence, as he would have us believe, but to a considerable amount of studying. (Not so ratty about it, though, as Norr, Brew Morris and Beany Copefellowship Blair.) 3. That the scintiUant and somewhat inflammable line he uses, when on a date, is hardly consistent with his campus demeanor. 4. That he has the best shoulders in the class. 5. And that if he isn ' t care- ' ' ul, he ' s going to achieve the next to the biggest demhe. 6. That he is the only person who knows exactly how George Betz got Mistinguette ' s autograph in Pans. 7.

This VV or itsequivalent, is what is heard every morning by Idge ' s friends from the most boringly loyal alumnus (not to mention basketball fan) ever turned out by any high school. It is said of Idge that he would rather talk basketball than sleep and anyone who has ever tried to rouse him at 6:30 on a Monday morning to make up the sports page of the J ews, realizes that that is saying a lot. But Idge does not confine his interest in sports to mere perusal of the sports page: it is on record that he went so far as even to join a church in order to be able to play on its basketball team, whereas in baseball season he is one of the leading lights of the Haverford intramural league, his position as chairman of the intramural committee enabUng him to award the verdict to his dormitory upon numerous occasions. It was a member of the soccer team, though, that Idge won his greatest fame. Not only did he make his appearance with this aggre- gation in the disguise of the man in the iron mask, but by unflagging effort at goal he succeeded in beating out Fiddlefoot Gray for the presidency of that well known honor society, the Hammer Club. What little time he has had left over from these strenuous pursuits Idge seems to have divided between those two other famous Haverford institu- tions, the Library and the T ews. Many has been the hour he has spent in the former, supposedly in unremitting toil for the Baron or the Horse — i— 1 . _ but those who know both Idge and the Library especially well have had BH F, .

Quakers and Philadelphians could do for the tenth. Naturally the position of chancellor and confidant to such a regal soul proved attractive to several mem- bers of the class. After the unbowing Wickersham, George ' s roommate in North during his freshman year, had been deposed, Paul Martin (just a poor boy from the country, trying to get along) took the position. For two years Poopus was king and P.T. prince and the class thought one of those rare Damon and Pythias combinations was being formed. But. after two years of service, P.T. stepped down to make way for Clark Hanna (for a full account of this all-Philadelphia alliance, consult the story of Mr. Hanna ' s career, supra). George undoubtedly had all the prerequisites for society — name, fame and a Plymouth roadster. It is not at all difBcult to imagine a stately butler ' s announcement of George Vaux X, the consequent ta-ra of the trumpets, and the pudgy Poopus bobbing into the ballroom with the sweeping courtesies and low bows of all in attendance. But actually he did not go in for that sort of thing as much as might be supposed. Rather, it seemed, than mingle with Philadelphia society, George would spend his waking hours discussing with the Rev. Dr. Grant the effects of the Palaeolithic age on the natives ot Syria or, better still, taking pictures of Haverford ' s wild life. As the Gotlia has insinuated, it was George ' s little camera that brought him his co-managership ot the 1929 football team, and the H that went with the position. For three long years, he traveled up and down the land, taking movies of Haverford ' s future opponents, that the team might not be entirely unknowing of what plays it would have to face in games to come. Why he was not given the full managership, when McConnell had merely slaved over the water-buckets and dressings each night of the season, has not yet been brought to light. J oblesse oblige, perhaps. Well, I dorrt see THAT. WW 80 THEODORE H. WESTERMANN 54 Sagamore Road, BRONXVILLE, N. Y. Born 1909 Entered from Bronxville High School in 1926.

That ' s Ted, At any moment of the day or night ready to help you — and ( ' equally ready to get you to help him. Without a moment ' s hesitation, he will offer you his phil notes to study from — or ask tor those you took; he will lend you his last shirt — or borrow yours. He has, we believe, co-operated himselt through more courses and more haberdashery than any man in the class. He has, in fact, solemnly promised to af5x to his degree a credit line, education by — and giving the list of his co-operators: some nasty soul immediately suggested the college catalogue for this purpose, but unfortunately the catalogue doesn ' t include Lew (whose flivver he borrows), or Ted ' s Swarthmore pali;. As our first class president, he has never quite lost a certain tutelary air which he was forced to assume at class meetings to shove through such momentous business as deciding on the design of our class jerseys and so on; but of late years the tutelage has been transferred to Montgomery School whither he goes daily to play God Almighty to the junior athletic teams. Few would suspect him, nevertheless, of actually being a duly- registered assistant scoutmaster: in spite of his Boy Scout shirt, which he still wears from time to time, and his willingness to give other people opportunities to do their daily good turns, he is a walking repudiation of the simple life and all its implications. He has the appearance of being able to handle a cocktail-shaker much better than a fire-by-friction set; and Be Prepared (as members of his courses can testify) seems to be his motto only on distinctly social occasions. Something should certainly he said, somewhere, about the days when Ted actually had a Ford of his own. Though a somewhat less passionate soul than Abernethy ' s Emily, Lorraine was nevertheless no Sunday school miss: from the time she was purchased and registered in the name of Shivelhood, to the time when she was dragged away to the junk yard in the name of campus heautification, she led Ted many a merry chase — and sometimes one of the kind that end in Roberts Hall, second floor, on the right. But Ted lent her out freely (once even for a trip to Boston) and he was not always the guilty man in her irregularities. And since we feel bound to prophesy a suitable future for at least one member of the class, we pick on ' Ted: his foreordained vocation, we are convinced, is that of magician ' s assistant — you know, the man who goes through the audience borrowing things.

FAMED throughout the early halt of his college career as the butt of much Barclay horseplay and as the possessor ot a peculiar anatomical nickname, Wickie has spent these later days largely in the varying roles of soccer-player, Physics Teniteand engineer. And in spite of his work for McPete and Fritae, it was really this training in the department of Rittenhouse which proved to be of most use to his college-mates for when running water was being installed in the Tower, it soon became apparent that Wicker had followed in the foot- steps of his teacher and knew more about plumbing than the men hired to do the job. But perhaps this was only another example of the Wickersham curiosity. As early as Rhinie year, the initiated discovered that curiosity was the motive for many of Wickie ' s actions. Sick or disabled birds and beasts on the campus had no chance at all, tor they were sure to be caught and immured by Wickie in a vain attempt to discover what made the wheels go round. Famous indeed, was Feather, the gray squirrel, whose earliest recollection was drinking milk out of Wicker ' s medicine dropper. The development of an amusing trait of chewing the ears of unoffending visitors resulted in Feather ' s exile, and Wickie turned for solace to another squirrel (deceased), a rabbit (deceased), and various other creatures (deceased). Every year as winter sets in there is an air ot suppressed excitement in the vicinity of Wicker, which increases in intensity as the mercury falls. When the first skim of ice appears on the pond he is seen prowling along the bank testing the ice and mentally calculating the number ot hours until it will bear him. And, if the ring of skates is heard at night after the pond is officially closed, it is ten to one that Wickie is trying new ways of falling on his back after completing a jump-loop.

But here, at almost the end of the roll is reassurance for the patriarchal benefactor that the Inner Light has not entirely deceived him, that Quakers still come to Haverford, that tradition is not yet dead : and here we present Thomas Wistar, Jr. He is Haverford tradition, the Ideals of the Founders, the Spirit of the Fathers and points west, all rolled into one, embodied, breathing, and walking erect on its hind legs. He lives in traditional German- town, he is related to the traditional names of the Quaker hierarchy from Uncle Billy on down, he captains the traditional sport of cricket, and he gives the impression of being able to recite half the hoary traditions of the alumm association by heart. Continually under the eye of history, if you get what we mean. With all this history behind him, Tom naturally assumes a somewhat paternal attitude toward these trifling concerns of the present day — of which his lofty hut amused tolerance of Deacon Richie ' s socialism is a major case in point. His sense of humour also has much of the slow, majestic movement of history about it: if you point out that you are cracking a joke and are very emphatic about i:, he will laugh as loudly as the next man — but there must be no doubt about it; tradition must never be able to say that T. Wistar, ' 30, laughed at some- thing which had not been duly tested and certified as properly risible. But no matter how lumbering his sense of humour and how incapable he is of realizing that he and the College just d sagree on the subject of Cousin Billy, his sketch-pencil is the most nimble and educated on the campus — as these pages bear witness.

In such manner are all people who venture to argue with Tiny crushed into quaking silence. He KNOWS; so that ends the matter. And if you dare to still pursue the subject tremendous bellows convince you absolutely that he just is right. Undoubtedly his success as a tackle on the gridu-on lies in a withering Line of adjectives, second only to those of the great Nappe Murray, muttered between his teeth at the trembling young gentleman across the line. Even the strong minded and argumentative Havertordians of his own class will usually with- draw before that roar, that threat of a rush which can only be likened to a truck horse stirred by the first zephyrs of Spring. Of the numerous types in the class. Tiny is the Sugar-Daddy type. Generously plump, moderately handsome (when well steamed and shaved), fairly worldly-wise, he is obviously looking forward to a lifetime spent at directors meetings (genuine ones) and in the bald head row at musical comedies — the tired business man so famed in American song and story. Twenty-five years from now, we venture to predict, he will be able to sit for any cartoonist in the land as the incarnation of the Republican Party. In rehearsal for this future role of tired business man, Tiny has spent most of his college career in resting — with the important e.xceptions, of course, of strenuous autumn afternoons on Walton Field and those periodic occasions when the founda- tions of the Wriggins household are threatened by Betz. Blair and others ot the Fifth Entry Gang ' s radical wing. Fortunately, his invention (early in senior year) of the Wilhelm Strasse System by which he can spy on everything and everybody has reduced this menace to a minimum and left him his time free to hold forth on the inner workings of motor cars and motorboats. and his own journeyings m the former to such places as RadclitFe, Wellesley and Smith. He has claimed to be married ever since last summer — and perhaps he is, but the tones his voice occasionally takes on incline one sometimes to doubt this. When ' re wc goir. ' to the Library, Feidt. ' L mW Ex - Members T ERHAPS the age of romance is past and the era of cynicism has set in, or maybe we l have merely quit pretending palpably false things; but nonetheless it is true that we had almost forgotten there were twentysix members of the Class of 1930 who, for one reason or another, did not terminate their college career in the usual stupid fashion of passing across the platform to receive a diploma. Nor do we entertain any delusions that it will be different with those of us who do graduate. We fully expect to be greeted at the tenth reunion by someone who will address us with our roommate ' s name — and of course we shall be entirely forgotten when we approach an old classmate to borrow ten dollars. But that is rather away from the subject and this business of leaving Haverford prematurely requires a bit of a treatise. It is uncanny how it is done. One would think that the process would involve ( a) either a stormy conference in the dean ' s office or an extended session at the family dinner table; (b) the packing of trunks and valises, and the paying of the store bill; and (c) a long round of Well, so long, pal, they ' ve given me the gate. But this is not so at all. If the notice to call on the Dean arrives in the evening mail, the conference is concluded by 6.30 and by the time the dinner dishes are cleared from the tables in Ward Founders, another ex is telling his roommate to sell the books and keep the money. Two days later a not-too-close friend of the departed will inquire of the roommate, What ' s become of So-and-So? If the Dean s, parents ' , or undergraduate ' s own decision for him not to remain is reached during the summer, then the college details are eliminated. The main difference in this case is that two weeks usually pass before any but the closest friends realize that So-and-So is not back this year. By the end of a semester, the ex has passed almost entirely into legend, for the mills of the gods, in the case of the ex ' s , grind speedily and almost wholly without noise. The first man to leave the ranks of the class was Dick Westcott who spent one brief quarter as the roo.nmate and boon co.npanion of Jack Carr in Merion Annex. When he dug bis first report from the litter of tuxedos, phonograph records, cigarette butts, and half-used foolscap which was wont to occupy the floor of the Carr diggings, he found that he had accumulated the magnificent average of 43.1. He departed. It would be difficult to say whether or not it was the fault of the dormitory, but Merion Annex contributed the next two victims of the chopping block also. Jack Glassmire, a Corporation Scholar, possessed that tendency to stray from the beaten path which may characterize either a genius or a nuisance. The customs committee promptly decided that he was the latter and provided the campus with several months of amusement by inflicting on him every kind of wearing apparel that the ingenious Collison could invent. Finally the college officials came to agree with the committee : and Jack was ruled out on iSKfij a technicality when he went to sleep in front of Founders after inhal ing some chloroform borrowed from the chemistry department. Fritsie Marks was, for a time, the most prominent member of the class, always taking a chair at the very feet of the professors because of his deafness. His departure is closely linked with the great Merion murder, which occurred when a blood-spattered dummy, stabbed with a dagger, was propped up in a chair in the ghastly glow of a single bridge- lamp, and Marks enticed to the scene. Fritzie took one swift look, shrieked, and roused half the dormitory. Police (who had been forewarned) were summoned, and Marks was arrested for the atrocious slaying. Although he was released a few minutes later, Fritzie never did recover. Perhaps due to his deafness he did not realize he was vindicated. But be that as it may, in a few days he left for home, taking the inevitable umbrella with him. At the beginning of sophomore year, seven members of the class failed to reappear. Norman Bryant, he of the fair, waving hair and long chin, was no longer about, to sit on the milk cases and wait for Doctor Press to open his breakfast room. John Hagedorn, Co-op clerk, player of abominable bridge, and one of the few fur-bearing creatures in College, had gone to Yale ' s dramatic school. Tom Harvey and Charlie Cameron had left to appear later, like Ben Franklin ' s book, in a new and revised edition as members of the Class of 1931. Jerry Pearce had also departed with his southern drawl, as had Joe Leslie. No vacant chair seemed more desolate, though, than did that of Noel ( At hand sir ! ) Murray, who had taken up the study of divinity at St. Stephen ' s. Murray, who had been thrown out of the J Jeu ' s Room one Sunday evening for uttering an oath of such a nature as not to be tolerated even by the liberal members of Haverford ' s Fourth Es tate; Murray, whose stories of wine, women, and song had brightened many a first-year bull-session; Murray, who had been the life of any old party, Murray had left to study for the ministry! The fact that he later changed his mind and switched to matrimony does not alter the case: Murray left Haverford for the ministry. The period between midyears and finals of sophomore year saw the exodus of four more members, of whom Bill Watson was one. Damon ? Pythias, Strawbridge ii Clothier, Abernethy ii Watson. Aside from his partnership in the last of the famous firms. Bill ' s most distinguished characteristic was his carefully cultivated Y. M. C. A. manner which enabled_him to slap more backs in a shorter time than anyone else until the Christian Union 8(5 was organized. Johnny Reed, the White Plains cherub, also departed at this period, leaving behind him the reputation for being able to do more acrobatics with a cigarette in his mouth than anyone in College. George Rogers and Nick Wilbur were the other two who left; the former returned in next year ' s class, but Nick remained away for good, leaving only angry memories for the way in which he had distributed empty boxes labelled Wilbur Buds to the hostile audience assembled to witness the Cakewalk presented by the Class of 1930. Nick had given such an excellent performance as the defending attorney in that production, however, that the anger of the audience was somewhat mollified. The last great trek out of the class came during the summer before Junior year. Among others who had left was one Theodore Ward Bruegel. There is little use in setting down the many outstanding feats of this lad, for they are of the sort that is not easily forgotten. There is scarcely a member of the class who does not remember how he obeyed his instructions Hterally and carried a mattress to the sunken garden in preparation for the Prom; how he answered the query as to what his first average was; and how he escorted the housekeeper to his room to show her the pictures of nude women with which his class- mates had papered his walls. While Ward was a member of the class, the members of 1930 had the satisfaction of realizing that they were providing the college with a worthy substitute for the much-maligned Knipp, and Ward ' s presence also provided the advantage of presenting an outlet for the boisteous spirits of the more child ' sh-minded members of the class, such as Oogley Robelen and Brewster Morris. Lincoln Cocheu, popularly known as Snowshoe , also chose this time to make his departure, leaving for Ann Harbor, because he felt the University of Michigan offered bigger and better engineering courses than those provided by Messrs. Rittenhouse, Rantz, and Chase. Cocheu ' s greatest achievement while at Haverford, in his own eyes, was receiving a Z from Mr. Wheelock as a reward for his efforts on a Greek examination. Framed, along with a notable array of over-cut notices, that exam book was his pride and glory. Unable to exist at Haverford without the steadying influence of his boon companion, Wilbur, Snort Maxiield was another of the departers at the turn. Snort will be remem- bered chiefly for his miner ' s cap and his snarling, devil-take-you attitude as a waiter in the dining room. Although this department has had too many cares to inquire as to his exact occupation since leaving college. Snort may be seen hereabouts now and then, usually supporting a woman on one arm. WW Although a glance at Bill Pretzfeld ' s desk, loaded as it was with ponderous volumes of divers and sundry sorts of knowledge, would have convinced one that here was the class scholar, Bill nevertheless became an ex during the summer of 1928. Always sociable (he usually had a tin of good cigarettes in his desk drawer), and yet a consistent worker, he apparently failed to absorb the content of such ratty-looking books as the college had to offer. Bill will always be remembered chiefly for two things; his collection of pipes, and his wardrobe — Shorty Lindsay, in particular, will recall how Bill decided to spend eighty dollars for a suit at the beginning of sophomore year instead of helping to furnish the room. Bill ' s moans about the shabby state of his clothes when he was easily the best dressed man on the campus afforded a constant source of amusement to his friends, the whole trouble being that Bill chose the wrong college: he should have gone to Princeton. Tux Hill left college at the same time as did Pretzfeld, returned as a junior in 1929, and departed again at mid-years. He had discovered that being amiable, a good Baptist, and scion of a wealthy Montclair family was not enough to carry one through college. Tux ' s chief antipathy was the food in the dining room and his chief delusion the belief that eating dry bread and rancid butter (swiped, originally, from the dining room) in his own room was a big improvement over the ordinary college fare. Ed Rudge and Charlie Rudrauff were the others who left at this time. Ed ' s difficulty was approximately the same as Tux ' s, whereas Charlie found the charms of matrimony and business more alluring than the cheers of soccer rooters (Charlie played center-half) at Haverford. The class went through junior year unscathed, but during the following summer lost four members. Bob Doughty committed suicide near his home in Beacon, N. Y., thereby robbing this volume of some brilliantly written sketches, as had been evidenced by the Thews ' Crows Nest which he wrote during the last half of his junior year. After a year in the bawdy precincts of Founders, which was quite evidently not suited to his disposi- tion, Bob allied himself with the esthetes and sophisticates of the class who moved to New Lloyd in sophomore year. There the chief service which he rendered seemed to be the regular squelching of Ralphie Atkinson, who made his presence obnoxious at times. June Barrows Mussey, after three years of vehemently profane statements con- cerning the low quality of a Haverford , education, had his bluff called at this time - ' and yielded to family pressure to conclude his studies at Columbia. In his own opinion. Muzz was quite the most Satanic young man on the campus; but after some icquaintance with him, one soon realized that his boisterous wickedness was con- fined entirely to speech and thought. As .1 matter of fact, his chief real vices were an overpowering insisteni..e on performing sleight-of-hand tricks and a pernicious habit of thumbing his nose. Fate, it must be admitted, played an ironic trick on Muzz in his first year at college by having him room with Jack Blackman. That and the sad fate which his derby hat met at the hands of Dick Abbott and Shorty Jameson were probably the high spots of Rhinie year for Muzz. Dik Ezerman departed at the same time, leaving Joe Miller as the sole representative of the formerly inseparable Onery Trio of Mussey, Ezerman and Miller. Ezerman however, fled no further away than Penn Dental School and has crept back to the campus on numerous occasions. Dik, being Dutch, liked good music and good beer, on both of which subjects he was an authority; but authority or not, he was alvvays wiUing to offer an emphatic opinion on any other subject as well. When he first appeared at Haverford he was the possessor of an innocent but low mmd; and as time went on it became less inno- cent and quite a bit lower, which, probably, was only the result of staying in Founders for three years. Hen Supplee, who once let down Swarthmore with one fluke hit, also left the class at this time to play professional ball. Anyone who can hold Swarthmore to one hit and has no more intellectual capacity than Cabby is obviously destined for other thinas so he went south with the Athletics this spring, leaving brother AI to uphold the Supplee name on the Haverford diamond. The last of the ex ' s is Dick Durham. Dick was all that a college man is popularly supposed to be. He was smoothly handsome, he twanged a wicked banjo and he had so many dates m his freshman year that the college authorities farmed him out to Moravian less of a social center, for two semesters. He returned as a junior, only to get into difficulties with the Ardmore police shortly before the Christmas vacation this year. His artistic instincts and a little Camden beer prompted Dick to attempt to decorate Roberts Hall with some Christmas trees borrowed from the merchants of Ardmore; but he found to his sorrow that policemen have no esthetic sense and was dragged off to spend the night as the guest of the town- ship. The prospect of a Haverford under- graduate standing trial in a local police court for an offense, which, as the Office put it, they had flaunted in the face of the College , brought the college officials to let Dick seek his diploma elsewhere.

Mabel, you remember, suddenly discovered that Haverford students sometimes drank, and was ben - on telling the world about it — and much tumult ensued. Brad ' s election presaged great things; Wayne B. Wheeler ' s admirers saw in Abernethy, the Baptist ministet ' to-be, a strong arm for strict enforcement; while the Friends of Bacchus could not easily forget the champagne corks that they had seen strung across Brad ' s mantelpiece in years gone by. Neither group was disappointed. The Blackman wing of the Council early last fall proposed an amendment to the Students ' Association law which would have made even an undergraduate whose breath smelled strongly of Fleischmann ' s yeast liable to stand trial for being intoxicated. When that measure was defeated more decisively than an Irish Home Rule bill under Disraeli, Aber- nethy, with a beautiful air of perplexity, appointed a committee to investigate the situa- tion (or to do something equally vague) — and Blackmanesque enforcement of the Eighteenh Amendment at Haverford was conveniently laid on the table. And the Christmas tree case was passed on to the Office. As a matter of fact, the docket of the tribunal, saving only Students v. Violator of Honor Pledge (which was handled swiftly and decisively), is as clean as it was a year ago. In a word, the Student Council of 1929-30 went through its term as the best ' paid and best-liked ministers of the Gospel always go through theirs. No runs, no hits, no errors. 99 DB The Kiews X NY account of the Hews during the last year and a half of our college career must of necessity be rather closely modeled after Gibbons ' Decline and Fall— the reason being not hard to find. The class of ' 30 had the fortune (or was it mis- fortune?) to trail into college one year later than David Hartas Hedley who, none will dispute, was the greatest editor the Hews has ever had. The class (or at least fifteen mem- bers of it) flocked to the Hews room; volunteered to commend their souls and bodies to Lord David; in a remarkably short time were taught how to write the English language; and under Hedley ' s curses, lashings, and kind words proceeded to put out the best issues of the Hews that this campus ever saw. That was the Hews of the fall of last year, with Hedley at the editor ' s desk, Blackman and Blackburn as joint news editors, the hypercritical and venom-tongued Bardolph (Joe Miller to the uninitiated) presiding over the sports page, Jim Brown cawing wittily as the first crow in the Crow ' s Nest; and Brinton and Turner, Charlie Miller and Joe Martin, Bob Dothard and Brad Abernethy all toiling more or less manfully as shock-troop reporters. Egmore chased ads, Benny Blair chased delinquent debtors; Vaux chased Rhmies to deliver the sheets every Monday night and Dick Blair a iQp chased Philadelphui newspapers with accounts of games for the Hews Service board (then a part of the Hews). It was an egotistical crowd; not one of them did not believe he knew far more about the way the paper should be run than all the others put together. They cursed. They fought. But they stayed up all Sunday night; and they put out a paper which took prizes. Then came Hedley ' s premature retirement and the Blackman coup d ' etat. When the smoke cleared. Jack was editor, Charlie Miller and Art Brinton were his assistants. Turner was sports directeur, and Egmore business manager (Charlie lasted but one semester, while Art stepped up to the editorship for the last few weeks before midyears). The remainder of the editorial board was a heterogeneous mixture of underclassmen, many of whom had never had the benefit of a good cursing from Hedley (a thing which seemed to produce better writing and more effort than all the explaining of type sizes that his succes- sors were ever able to do). The rest of the story of the class ' connection with the Hews is better left untold, for the men of ' 30 were by no means so successful at steering the machine as they had been at supplying the motive power. Coasting for a while on the organization which had been built up, for all of the ceaseless and devoted efforts of Black ' man, it started on a down slope that was inevitable. Bbckman, in this connection, has not gotten the credit really due him: in coming to the editorship he faced one of the most trying positions that has ever been given an undergraduate in ex-curricular activities. He did his best. He sacrificed friends, marks and even health to the Hews; and that these were not sufficient to equal the personality and ability of his predecessor was not his fault. Probably Jack will look back to Commencement Day of 1929 as his greatest as editor. Not only did the Hews that day appear in a bull-dog mail edition for alumni consumption (if you don ' t know what a bull-dog edition is, ask Jack. He will explain gladly. But be sure that you have a whole afternoon free to listen) — but also came forth with a full account of the Class Day exercises before the exercises were held. Such brilliant tactics of journalism might win Jack a deal of favor with Mr. Hearst, but they resulted in a scathing denunciation of editors of the Hews, their families, and all their relatives, on the part of the speaker who was to announce the winner of the class spoon. The career of Allendoerfer, ' 32, who succeeded Jack as editor, has closely paralleled that of his predecessor. Financial woes have forced the adoption of the cheap-looking newsprint in place of the former paper stock, staff morale has declined to a point even below that which Hedley was faced with on joining the paper; and without being unduly acid about it, it may be said that the Hews, in the expressive Hibernian idiom, gets no better fast . This took such a turn for the worse, in fact, during the first part of May that AlleiT ' doerfer, his right-hand man, Billy Fox, and several other members of the board handed in their resignations. There were even rumors that the Hews was to be discontinued altogether. But while its demise probably would be welcomed in the East wing of Roberts Haverford likes to see its name in print too well to let it go. m BO HO 111 The Musical Clubs fT HE Musical Clubs gave the usual number of concerts this year in the usual nuniber of out ' of-the-way places. With the exception of Wilmington, the suckers in the various towns came across nicely — what happened to the Wilmington patrons and patronesses isn ' t known, but the college talent was wasted that night on an audi ' ence that could have been comfortably accommodated in a Statler hotel bath-room. They made up in appreciation and hominess, though, what they lacked in numbers; that is, those who didn ' t look as though they had been pulled out of the fish bowl for the occasion, did. What happened that night was plenty. First off, the piano had been allowed to stand under a leak in the roof; so practically all the keys immediately above and below middle C stuck. This was funny up to a certain point, if you didn ' t happen to be playing the damn thing. Next Ken Read endeavored to play a sax solo without bothering to tune up with the piano; and before the ears of the people had stopped ringing from this miscarriage, Frank Lindsay up and insults them with six bass solos. The next crack-up, if you don ' t count the two suspender buttons that came off our pants, occurred when Lipsitz, of Lipsitz and Taylor, fell on his fanny in the midst of a tap dance. At this point we were suffering practically no pain at all as the result of a glass of nice wann milk; so we carried on, and played the Vagabond Lover straight through five times and dropped over the keyboard in sheer exhaustion when we got to the hard part the sixth time through. After the dance, those who weren ' t out on their feet adjourned to the home of a loyal Wilmington alumnus and passed out in nice symmetrical rows. And that, my dears, is the Journal of the Flood Year — water by Gordon of London. Of course the Atlantic City, Cedar Crest and West Chester concerts were all very cute in their own sweet little ways. There was even a Home Concert too, with Cob Corson, a lousy dance and all the other usual fixin ' s. From here on we have to pad a bit to fill out the page, so we hope you won ' t mind ploughing through a few paragraphs taken at random from that old Hindoo Tragedy, The Life of Dr. Samuel Johnson. We hate to do this, but it is now 3 A. M. and all the copy has to be ground out by the crack of dawn: In accordance with the modern ideals of religious and moral education, the students enjoy ample liberty, safeguarded by their wholesome physical life, by the traditions of the College, and by the intimate association with their professors and fellow students. The deep religious spirit bequeathed by the Quaker founders has been carefully cherished, and high ideals of life and conduct are maintained; three times a month the College attends Friends meeting in a body. The aims of Haverford have been gradually developing and its function is becoming more and more clear — ' to encourage the growth, among a limited number of young men, of vigorous bodies, scholarly minds, strong characters, and a real religious experience ' . Just in case anyone cares, the Instrumental Club was led by W. R. Blair, ' 30, and the Glee Club by C. S. Cameron, variously ' 30 and ' 31. If anyone but these two happen to read this, we hope they will write and tell us about it. Just address us in care of the Peace Caravan, American Express, Paris. ilG WW m 103 PIG OH B The Haverfordian ■ TINETEEN-THIRTY, like Oxford, has been the mother of lost causes — which at X. Haverford, of course, implies extensive interest in such things as cricket and The Haverfordian. Wistar was the only man in the class Oxonian enough to take on both of them at once, but many a Thirty-ite has had a hand in the latter alone. Joe Martin was editor for two years, Norr and Hymes were Business Manager and Circulation Manager, respectively, for a year or so (this was back in the days of the great Hedley and sinfully lucrative dividends), and Feidt was also on the business board. On the literary end, Jim Brown fathered the book reviews for a while, Mussey and Lindsay each had a spell as associate editor and Joe Miller ( the Haverford hack ) put in his oar occasionally. Wistar, of course, was art editor. This year, as is usually the case, it was the Chapbook number which recalled to the College at large the fact that there was such a thing as a Hterary magazine on the Haver- ford campus. The staff, evidently feeling that Haverford dormitories are pervaded by an excess of prudery, set out to produce an eye-opener in the shape of a series of experiments in local color and foreign languages; and, aided by persistent rumours of suppression, succeeded in enducing the student body to violate longstanding custom and actually read the issue. On the strength of this and other achievements, the Martin regime kidded itself into believing that The Haverfordian is on the upward grade; but the College at large, recalling then creasing haphazard-ness of the publication date, still stands firm on the grand old maxim that each number of The Haverfordian is a little worse than the last one. 104 The Play IT WAS a surprise. After three years of wandering in a wilderness of mediocre plays, the Cap and Bells Club this year emerged with A. A. Milne ' s The Dover Road and proceeded to give the best production of any of our four years at Haverford. What is more, we can rightly hand most of the fronds of the palm to 1930 for its share in the work. Paul Martin emerged from a career on the track and in the classroom which was not exactly dazzling, to show the assembled scoffers at home-talent acting that he is not going into the ministry because he could not be a suave and urbane man of the world. Brad Abernethy (my oh my, these young pastors will have their fling!) repeated his last year ' s performance as a dashing young lover— this time a peer of the realm, to boot. The under- graduate section of the audience became so engrossed in the play, in fact, that there was scarcely a titter when Abernethy, upholder, stoutly declared that he ' d have his whiskey straight. To give our own little back one more pat, we declare that McConnell filled his green plush footman ' s uniform a little fuller and tilted his chin just a little more disdain- fully than any of the other sundry menials in the piece, too. Jack Gray rounded out the cast of principal male characters, while Rhinie Truex (son of the Truex, you know) and S ' d Hunt took the female leads, posts long held by the beautiful bosomed Whittelsey and Alfie Mellor. Aside fro.ii a slightly masculine walk, Truex was as fine a lady as ever graced the Roberts Hall boards; while Hunt as Eustacia was excellent m a difficult part. HE 105 Oil The Band T ATEST among the strong-arm methods employed to arouse the phenomenon of ■ ' college spirit at Haverford is the Band, which arose last fall to meet the crying need which Its leaders had previously stirred up. After a lengthy process of education through the columns of the T ews the student body was finally made aware that the College was the object of shameful comparison with other institutions boasting a gaudily clad musical organization which could parade between the halves of football games and make the most untutored spectator realize that he was attending an atfair of importance. Accordingly, a call for candidates went out which revealed that there were thirty men in College who had clipped a Wurlitzer coupon in the hope of becoming the life of the party. Frequent rehearsals were held under the baton of G. P. Rogers, ' 31, who sublimated his animal passions by parading the organization over the campus by devious routes. At first the Band possessed no uniforms and looked like it sounded; but the education process was continued for the benefit of the alumni, and soon funds were available for purchasing sweat- ers which gave the group an outward and visible sign of its inward and spiritual unity. On days when the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, the Band made a good impression on the football field; and at several basketball games as well the Band was present and provided a very commendable accompaniment for the bass drum, played by Stone. But undoubtedly the greatest achievement of the year came when the Cap and Bells Club settled a longstanding undergraduate controversy by deciding that the band actually was a musical organization and admitting its members to Mr. Mellor ' s fold. The Liberal Club CD EFORMERS are born not made, and once born it seems that not much can be done V, about it. But if they take up labor conditions, peace movements, and the govern- ment of these United States as the objects upon which to expend their energy instead of the profanation of the Sabbath, Prohibition, and the Deity in general, they ought to be IIG WW encouraged. For that purpose the Liberal Club exists. After a hibernation of one year, Dougie Steere was engaged as tutor in the art of taking things very seriously and various speakers were secured. Among these were Paul Porter, of the inevitable L. I. D., Fred Libby, and Jesse Holmes (the Rufus Jones of Swarthmore). The meetings usually closed with a discussion, at which the members proceeded to show their profound knowledge by asking numerous questions which were always prefaced with as many facts as possible. Sincerely bent upon becoming intellectual, even if they have to spend money for it, a number of these banner wavers of tomorrow attended meetings of the Foreign Policy Association in Philadelphia, which supplied them with a prodigious number of clever second-hand remarks, which, unfortunately, no one was interested in hearing. The Christian Union T7MPHATICALLY we do not say it in a bragging spirit, but the class of 1930 is largely - — ' responsible for the Christian Union. It was long a well known fact that the Young Men ' s Christian Association was not Christian, but it was not until fall a year ago that it was realized that it was no longer even an association. When it was finally disbanded, frequent hopes were expressed in Collection that out of the ruins would rise something finer and better, breathing a purer air. Something did rise, chiefly due to the efforts of Messrs. Swan and Richie. Originally the organization busied itself with sending rep- resentatives to conferences and hearing talks followed by discussions all calculated to make the campus safe for the Deity. Soon, however, it was realized that there was work to be do ne along another line, and the Deity would have to be made safe for the campus. Accord- ingly, the warlike Jehovah was swept aside and the organization recreated Him in the image of Henry Joel Cadbury. Speeches for peace were made and finally a poll was taken of the College to determine the probable actions of the undergraduates in the event of another war. This sort of work had the effect of inducing religiously-minded students to substitute courses in Political Science for the ones they had been taking in Biblical Litera- ture. An outsider hearing of this, might call it an improvement, but knowing both departments as we do, we prefer to leave the problem unanswered. Debating As IT must to all organizations of merit, recognition came this year to the varsity • ■ debating team. A crowd of eleven spectators turned out to hear the debate with Swarthmore and see the lucky Haverford team fearlessly pit their minds against those of the Baltimore Pikers. Since Spelt, as head of the Debating Council, succeeded in scheduling seven debates this year and cancelling six of them, and since the audi- ence mentioned above voted loyally in favor of the home team, it may easily be seen that the percentige for the year is one thousand. C. W. Miller and Jones, in addition to Spelt, have formed the only debating material in the class. But in spite of this paucity of material, they managed to bring into existence the first Rhinie debating club since 1926, and they took keen delight in leaning on the Union mantelpiece and uttering words of wisdom to the freshmen with ail the importance of the deity. Si mi BG Chemistry Club FOR many years the Chemistry Club has existed as an organization for building up morale among those majoring in chemistry. Four years ago it was favored with two mem- bers from the Class of 1930; the next year it had one; and in the last two years it has been compelled to get along with lower-class men. The club ' s program is usually made up of papers read by various members: the freshmen read what everyone knows, and the seniors read what no one can understand — including themselves. However, in late years much of its time has been devoted to discussing the new major examination plan and eating refresh- ments at the house of Father Meldrum — this last part being a very clever scheme of the gentleman in question whereby he is able to secure easily vanquished opponents in con- centration and bridge. Cla ssicai Club JNDULGING in wild orgies among themselves and m pseudo-Roman banquets of store cookies is but a small part of the program of the Classical Club. For years this organi- zation has made it possible for numbers of preparatory school kiddies to leave their studies a half-bour early to attend the annual play. This year (Wilson, 31, in the throne and Dr. Lockwood behind it) the Club chose the Eunuchus of Terence and emasculated it still further by presenting it in the version entitled Famulus, made by Cardinal Newman for English schoolboys. The net result, however, was the most uniformly good Classical Club play of the three we of Nineteen Thirty have witnessed. The features of the per- formance were undoubtedly the braying of Schamberg, who took the part of the parasite, the cleverly feminine Hunt; and, if it may be said without insult to either one, Abemethy and Cam.eron, who really did look like brothers. But in spite of all efforts to render the show innocuous, the Roman costumes turned what was otherwise a distinctly high-minded m WW m performance into a mere leg show: unfortunately the legs could not present much in the way of shape, but they made up for that with the heavy coating of underbrush which rustled in the back stage drafts. As a prelude to the afternoon perfonnance the usual paper airplanes were launched from the gallery. J ew English Cluh T TNLIKE the Band, this other tledgling of the current year was formed primarily for - the delectation of its own membership and only secondarily for the edification of the Col- lege at large. But in spite of various professional talks on such things as the sex lives of the poets, it was the latter object which came nearest being achieved. Feeling that the College probably needed to see Marlowe ' s Doctor Faust (staged only once before in Amer- ica) and that the club finances certainly needed assistance, the members hastily collected their enthusiasm and $5.40 worth of scenery, and set to work. As was intended, the per- formance was very instructive, particularly in the Vatican scene when Mephistopheles pointed out the back window of Roberts Hall and informed the audience that the gateway to the main buffalo trail in College was placed there by Julius Caesar. It was gathered that Mr. Caesar had also put the cow in the skating pond. Another high light of the perform- ance came when Hunt (the very effective Mephistopheles) stood conjuring wildly before the curtain for a Helen of Troy, who obstinately refused to appear. For fully three .ninutes the audience sat on the edges of their seats; and when President Irion finally did present hLr.self as the face that launched a thousand ships (though looking for all the world like the famous Effie), he nearly launched three gallery-ites into the pit. It was hoped that the presentation of this play would lead to an arrangement with Bryn Mawr College whereby genuine instead of counterfeited sex appeal could be imported for local productions; but the net result, after a determined siege of the Bryn Mawr dramatic organization on the part of President Irion, seemed to be that its production of The Constant J [ymph acquired another stage-hand. m WW m 109 Radio Club TN THE halcyon days of Smith and Halstead radio was a major interest at Haverford; • ■ but with their graduation at the end of our Rhinie year, no one was left who knew how to operate the station which they had built; and the College up and sold it. Last year, by dint of a rider on the bill of sale, the Radio Club secured the right to broadcast for one hour a week over WFAN in Philadelphia, but the interest in this case depended almost entirely on the possibility it offered for Mama and Papa to hear little Frank ' s voice over the air — and when the novelty died out, the broadcasting did also. This year the Club seems to have gone the way of many another organization on the campus, and it now holds one really interested member, the president. This individual (Speakman, ' 31) has focused the Club ' s attentions largely on his own amateur broadcasting station and a series of code classes guaranteed to fit the student for a position as ship operator in ten easy lessons. Engineering Club OINCE there is only a change of program three times a week at the local motion picture theater, the students of engineering last year decided to form a club to fill the remainder of their spare time. The resulting organization is run on much the same lines as the Chemistry Club, with talks given by the members and the professors in the department. The chief differences from the Chem Club are a slightly higher degree of evangelistic zeal, more lantern slides at the lectures, and more Thirty-ites (including even Prexy Smiley) among the membership. T ature Club C p HIS organization has two purposes: to give Dunn a chance to tell of his experiences, and to re ' assure Emlen, Smiley and Hiatt that in catching and tagging our httle feathered friends they are doing something important. It has fulfilled them. Campus Club 1 J HIS Club also has two purposes: to get money from alumni for the purpose of beauti- - ' fying the campus, and to reward with memberships those students who do public service by making maps of the campus. It also has fulfilled them. IN MEMORIAM Deceased: THE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY m WW -; Al k ■ ATHLETICS Football ' TOW that by-gones are by-gones, and all that sort of thing, it might be put in this way: Walter Hallas was just a bit too wise when he told his Drexel team to get V Morris in their game with Haverford last fall. If Walter ' s boys had not got Morris so neatly that he had to be carried from the field early in the game, the 1930 Record might have had the honor of chronicling a football season without a defeat. For five games Egg and his teammates had surprised the local collegiate football world. With the loss of Gawthrop, Tripp, Murray, Collison and others, Haverford had been picked by the pre- season dopesters to have a poor year. Laboring under this impression themselves, the team had been contented to allow Ursinus to hold them to a 0-0 tie. Then, with Morris seemingly unable to beheld, the team had run wild through Susquehanna, Trinity, Kenyon, Johns Hopkins and Hamilton. Prospects were superb. They would take over Drexel, and then Delaware would be easy. Half of this was correct. But Drexel got Morris, and the game went into red ink, 7-0. Even with the one failure to come through, Morris had a spectacular season. Shifted to fullback after three years at tackle, the 210-pound Egg dashed through broken fields like a ten-second man and was second high scorer in eastern college football for at least part of the season. And a host of new material came up from ' 31 and 32 to fill the vacancies left by ' 29 with surprising success. Two more minutes to play, or three more pounds of poosh- ' em-up would have given Haverford a score (and the game) in the first encounter of the season, with Ursinus on Walton Field. The team had gotten most of the bad breaks throughout the game, but had managed to keep Ursinus quite a distance from their goal. As the final whistle blew, Haverford had the ball on the four-yard line, with Morris ready to take it across. But the whistle blew. With only the inevitable Partington and a few other Haverfordians in the visitors ' WW 112 ji  Httsa«: -;;ifeaSi = =s;sB2i- iJiu stands, the team next walloped Susquehanna, 19-6, at Selinsgrove (the third station bey ond Podunk). Egg was the Frank Merriwell of this game, scoring two touchdowns. It was in the third game of the season, however, that Morris showed the coach he had not made a mistake when he had been forced to move the Egg to the backiield. Played up at Hartford, this so-called football contest ended with Haverford having IQ points (all Egg ' s) to Trinity ' s none. By that time, the boys were primed to give their Walton Field audience, without a game for two weeks, its money ' s worth in the way of football. No team of corn-shuckmg Ohioans, not even one called Kenyon and boasting the smoothest forward passing seen on Walton Field since 1930 has been here, was going to stop them. Kenyon didn ' t. With their spirit that of the birdie , Morris and Company sent their guests back to their Ohio home, beaten 16-7. Sadie Thompson herself could scarcely have stuck out the Johns Hopkins game. It rained with such gusto that even His Eminence, Dr. Henry J. Cadbury, having circulated freely about the field in search of his lost son for the first half, was forced to retire (and he didn ' t ask for his money back, either) after the intermission. The details of the muddy conflict are not available. By counting faint cheers which floated across the campus, the spectators, safely lodged in the Union or the dormitories, calculated that Haverford won, 32-8. The Hamilton game might be chronicled in three sentences. Haverford won, 28-0. Morris took the ball from the kick-off in the second half through for a touchdown. And Al Crawford lost his pants. Since by that time, Haverford ' s winning games was not uncommon, and scoring feats by Mr. Morris were not exactly rare, you can judge for yourself the high spot of the game. A circle of subs (including one heroic soul who doffed his own pants) came to Crawford ' s succor, however, and the innocence of the girls in the stands was not destroyed. Enough (even too much) has been said of the Drexel game. And the usual Delaware anti-climax, much as it was press-agented, failed to be anything more than just another Delaware game (and a fre ezing day), with Haverford winning, 20-6. m gil m on 114 llls- s i lll Soccer y- ' HOSE members of the class who are gifted with short memories will within a few I O years probably point back with pride to the feats of Haverford soccer teams during their stay at college. At the close of the 1929 season, the team trounced Army and Navy on successive Saturdays (a fine feather in the cap of the peace-loving Friends), tied Swarthmore, and then proceeded to trim Princeton, 1-0, for the first time in fourteen years. Bill Frazier, cocky and fighting little right halfback, Newman Shirk, long-legged left half, and Dave Richie, the stocky and reliable left outside of the biret, were named to Coach Jim McPete ' s All-American eleven. But those of the short memory are fortunately likely to forget that the 1929 season was a very mediocre one, with more losses than had been recorded against any of the four soccer teams in the previous three years. They may also forget, for the peace of their minds, that in their four years at Haverford they had seen the soccer team change from the type which did not know how to lose a game to the type which always had to fight for a win. At the start of the season, things did not look promising for soccer. Alsop ' s depar- ture had left a gaping hole at goal, which neither Rosewater (risen in three years from Arlington Evans eighth team ) nor Turner could likely fill. The places of Maier and Mawhinney on the second line of defense had to be filled with untested material. And in George Rhoades and Sam Brinton, the team had lost two steady substitutes. What was worse, the weakness of the previous season, on the line, was still very much present. Nevertheless, the season opened with a win for Haverford. The victim was Moores- town; the score, 3-1. The team was unmercifully drubbed in the second game, however, by Chalfonte-Haddon Hall, which m the good old days would have been an easy mark. Letting seven goals slip past him, Rosewater showed that he was not the man to fill Alsop ' s shoes, and promptly departed for the Jayvees. In the next two games, the hooters seemed to revive a bit. They took over Western Maryland, 8-1, and Lehigh, 12-2. The will to win did not carry over another week. Penn State, which the teams of the year before and the year before that had tied, finished at the long end of a 2-1 score. The next game, with Crescent A. C, was concluded with the score one-all, while after that Penn, tied the year before, came out on top, 5-4. Then came the brace of victories over the militarists (how Dave Richie must have chortled when Haverford won those games), and the tie with Swarthmore. In a brief digression, it might be said that the spirit of the Swarthmore game showed better than the score the difference between soccer at Haverford in 1929 and in 1926. In the game this year, the te;im was fighting to hold a rival which had beaten it the year before (the first time Swarthmore had ever defeated Haverford in soccer); in 1926 the team was playing to get out of the way a squad which only recently had been considered good enough even to play the Haverford varsity. The sudden awakening of the hooters on Thanksgiving morning when they held the Princeton Tiger scoreless while Jack Gray kicked the winning tally into the net made up for all the previous errors of the team, however. Half-frozen Haverford rooters gave the team one of the greatest ovations a Scarlet and Black soccer squad ever has received when it trotted off the field with the Tiger limping pitifully behind. WW The Class of 1930 contributed five regular players to the eleven during the 1929 season. Turner tended goal most of the season (he played behind an enormous mask that gave the goahe even more than the usual effect of watching the game from a cage), Blair was at left-fullback, Frazier was at right and Shirk at left half, while Richie sent the ball along from left outside. Excluding the goalie, with whom no comparisons can readily be drawn, even the most untrained soccer observer, or most blatant booster for other classes, would state without a moment ' s hesitation that the four men last named were the back ' bone of the team. When the soccer fan forgets Bill Frazier ' s daring slides into his oppo- nents, Dick Blair ' s steady handling of the long boots at full, Newman Shirk ' s uncanny use of his long legs in pushing the ball back, and Deacon Richie ' s dribbling on the outside — that fan will forget be ever saw a 1929 soccer game. For the sake of the mathematically minded, it might be noted that during the 1929 season, Haverford won six, lost three, and tied two games. In 1928 the team won six, lost two, and tied three. That was the year of lowest ebb for Haverford soccer. The others lacking experience and finesse, Frazier, Richie, and Alsop were the only outstanding players on the squad (it was they, incidentally ,whom McPete named to his All- American of that year). Although in 1927 the soccer team won no more (or less) games than in the two seasons since that time, it was a much more interesting squad to watch at work. That was the last year for the Great Estes, the Chinese marvel. Merely to watch Estes handling the ball, skimming through the opposing backs, and hooking it into the goal was enough to make the fans forget that the defensive work was far below the standard set the year before. The class ' s freshman year was its greatest soccer year. (That statement must be qualified : freshmen do not play on Haverford soccer teams, which have a three-year rule. But from the soccer fans ' point of view, that season will never be forgotten.) Eight games were won, none lost, and two tied. Only against State and Princeton was the team unable to come out on top. While not formally awarded the national collegiate cham- pionship, the team came so near that there was talk of a play-off with Penn State. B! illl Basketball f ' y c HINGS were lcx)king up for Haverford in basketball at the beginning of the I O 1-929-30 season. To be sure, the team opened its season with the usual defeat - administered by Penn. But Penn won by only 19 points, 32-13, and what did the team do in its second game but trounce Ursinus, 37-33! Almost unheard of, a Haver- ford basketball team actually winning a game so early in the season. Was it not the year before that the court team had not won a game (excepting those with Delaware and Triangle A. C, which really now, after all,— ) until they met Swarthmore? To make the team ' s roseate dreams even brighter, none other than the renowned Irish Logan was back on the squad to resum.e the captaincy to which he had been elected, but had never assumed, in 1926. With Irish and one of the first two games won, almost anythi ng might happen, Haverford fans thought. The millennium had not arrived. Before mid-year examinations, the team man.iged to lose to Lehigh and St. Joseph ' s, 39-28 and 34-27. Two weeks ' cramming in the liberal arts did the boys no good, either. They returned to the game to lose to Pennsylvania Military College, Williams, Washington, and Temple, in that order, before they rang Founders bell by taking over Stevens, 34-28. (It was interesting to note, about this time in the season, how the wait-till-you-see-tbe-team-this yeiir fans had slid gently over to the well I ' U-be-damned-they-won-a-game bench. Haverford basketball rooters pardonably have a way of doing this.) Probably finding that wins were quite a relief after such a monotonous string of losses, the team then proceeded to do the impossible. m 117 They won two more games in a row, setting back Susquehanna, 34-29, and Drexe l, 33-27. But this was not the proper order of things. Haverford teams were supposed to lose at least half a dozen games before the final gory struggle with the Hicksite Swarthmore heretics and then to trounce Swarthmore. It would never do merely to sweep Swarthmore from the boards at the conclusion of a long winning streak. So the team proceeded to drop a game to Delaware (when was the last time before that, that Delaware won any sort of game from Haverford?) before taking Swarthmore ' s measure, 23-19. Aside from such dull facts as the scores of the games, the two highlights of the season were (a) Gummere ' s fouling Hay of Drexel four different and distinct times in four minutes, and (b) Assistant Manager Mansell ' s blowing a hole into his own hand while manipulat- ing Pop Haddleton ' s six-shooter starting gun. The former event was merely incidental to Hay ' s scoring nine points in those same four minutes (and Haverford had enough points to win nevertheless) but the latter meant the loss of an omnipresent assistant manager for several weeks. A severe blow, since Frazier chose to perform most of his managerial duties from his apartment in Lloyd. The Class of 1930 ' s contribution to the team after the freshman year were the Sup- plees — Al and Brother Hen, as well as Jerry Pearce, and Egg Morris, started basketball their freshman year under the regime of the lost and lamented Walter Hallas. But academic difficulties brought Pearce to grief, while doctors ' orders caused Morris to retire after his first season on the court. Hen Supplee departed at the end of his junior year, leaving Al to greet Coach Sam Taylor, as the lone representative of ' 30, during the ' 29-30 season. Morris was the only one of these to make the varsity five the first year, although the Sup- plees saw a deal of service. As has been insinuated above, the crowning glories of basketball teams during the present graduating class ' s stay in college have been the four consecutive defeats of Swarth- more. With the score against them at half-time, the courtmen took over the Garnet, 33-30, in a regular dime-novel thriller in 1927. The next year, the Hicksites did the same amount of scoring, but under Coach Jimmy Brown ' s instruction, Haverford accumulated 36 points. In 1929 the game was played at the Palestra, where Haverford won, 27-19, in what really was one of the biggest upsets of the Philadelphia basketball season. Golf A NOTHER inroad has been made into that fine old sport of queens , cricket, at Haverford this spring. Still extant after track, baseball and more recently tennis have taken more and more players from the crease, cricket now finds one more competitor with the recognition, officially, of a golf team. Until this year golf was con- fined to the lawn behind Barclay, with infrequent excursions by a few of the better players to the links of neighboring campuses for semi-formal matches. This year, recognition was obtained (although the award of letters to members of the team remains for years to come), and the golfers, including Ken Read, the Edgars, E. J. Andrews, Sipple, and Bill Frazier set out an ambitious schedule arranged by Manager Dick Martin. In their early season matches, after dropping a 4-3 decision to Villanova, they came back strong in the Temple contest to win, 6-0. m mw m Cricket eLASS Records for the last dozen years have reserved this little corner for a snickering obituary of the cricket team. But this tome, the product of a class which sent twelve of its members onto the crease at the beginning of its freshman year, which had a captain of the team for two years, and members who won just about all the prize belts and bats which are offered for unusual work, is going to set down the Haverford cricket team of 1930 ( 27, ' 28 and ' 29, too, for that matter) as the best college cricket team m the country. Unchallenged? We proceed with the story. With Captain Wistar, whose various honors as a cricketer will be recounted below, Manager Bill Robelen, and Brewster Morris as lettermen, and Ted Morris and McConnell as varsity men, the XI began its ninety-third season this year with narrow defeats at the hands of the British Officers and the Alumni. But the General Electric team was downed; and with an unusually strong batting team, there are hopes of the post-season Canadian trip turning out successfully. Now to Tom Wistar. He started his cricket career at Haverford by winning a varsity letter his freshman year (a somewhat unusual feat) and winning the Cope prize bat for the best batting average. At the close of his sophomore year, Tom was elected captain; while last year he again took the Cope bat and was re-elected to the captaincy. Among the other recipients of prizes have been Baker, ex- ' 30, who won the Haines fielding belt his Rhinie year; McConnell, who won the improvement bat in 1928; and Brew Morris, who was awarded the Haines belt in 1929. m 119 Ill in Trac V ET me see, let me see, what have I down here for you men today? Wat- Wat- Watson, no Abernethy take this lane. You other freshmen fill in here to till in this heat. Clean living and lots of exercise will make good track m.en out of you. All right, all right, on your marks, get set; look here, Jones, get your knee beside that instep. All right now, boys, on your marks — get set — all up. You knew I was going to hold you, Rudrauff. Try again; on your marks, fingers back of the line, get set — go! Come back, come back, get your amis working like this (here please picture a fair y plump, red ' faced, middle-aged gentleman girmg an mitation of the pistons on an old-fashioned steam engme). Ya know, some of you like Morris and Swan are already good enough for the Varsity but the rest will have to learn to keep away from cigarettes and late hours. Look at McConaghy — he wasn ' t as good as some of you when he first came out but he has kept at it faithfully and I expect he will break both hurdle records this year. You men can do the same th ' ng if you want to and work hard enough. But we didn ' t. Freshman enthusiasm for track slowly died out after the first year except for those who were already good enough material to be really interested. Pounding, pounding on the board track, 12 laps to the mile and shin splints in the bargain were hardly inducements sufficient to overcome the discouraging effects of losing most of our freshman meets to Norristown, Lower Merion, and the like. Our host of men loo ed like potential varsity material, but the aging process soon eliminated all but a scant half dozen of whom Egg Morris, Swan and Shirk did practically all the scoring and Dick Blair the managing. Morris captained the team finally and has been counted on for 10 points consistently in each meet — not to mention his winning the Walton Cup for four straight years. Last year he was Junior Intercollegiate shotput champion; and this year he took second in the event at the Penn Relays, incidentally winning the discus. Each season his heave in the shotput has set the Haverford standard a little higher and ditto, of course, for the discus. Shirk, in the 2-mile, is the only other record-holder in the class; though Swan in the javelin and P. T. Martin in the half-mile have been frequent point-winners. But there it stopped. Strange as it may seem to those unacquainted with the one and only Pop Haddleton, the yearly repetition of the above discourse has produced track teams that have set an enviable pace. To Pop (for all his gun which misses fire and speech which does even worse) are due the series of victories over Swarthmore and the high scores piled up against such set-ups as Delaware, Dickinson and Ursinus. And last year he so successfully overawed his minions that they finally won the Middle Atlantics, after three straight years in second place. The loss of the William and Mary meet (speedily atoned for by victories over Delaware, Johns Hopkins, Lehigh, and Swarthmore) at the opening of the 1930 season was, indeed, the first defeat in more than five years of dual meets. But though the William and Mary trip was a debacle as a track meet, as a picnic it was a howling success. With a couple of girls ' high school classes on board the Balti- more-Newport News boat, the trip down was a necking free-for-all (except for Pop, who spent half the night poking into dark corners and putting his men to bed), and a brace of dances on the card at Williamsburg, the trip was a success no matter how wet the tnick how slow the times or how lousy the W. 6r ' M. food. m m Tennis JT IS gen erally acknowledged that tennis at Haverford has been on the upgrade each year since 1927, but ' 30 stands in the awkward position of being able to claim a very small share in this increase in excellence. Bitter as this enforced modesty has been, ' 30 has bowed its collective head and meekly submitted to its fate. For two years the 1930 racquet-wielders were thrown completely in the shade by upperclass veterans of the net; and then for two years more they humbly retired in favor of underclassmen. Which, when added up, equals four years, the total span of life allotted to the average college class. This year, with Gray, Hogenauer and Barnhurst, ' 31, still carrying the brunt of the work, 1930 has co.re in for so.r.e of the lesser assignments, with Ted Evans and Ted Westermann both coming up from the Jayvees to play fourth and fifth singles respectively. And, of course, the managing has been done by that irresistible force of nature, J. Freeman Bones. But there the contributions of the class to varsity tennis have ended — though Rowell has taken Ted Evans ' place with the Jayvees. The various matches — of the early season, at least — have progressed just about as usual: losses to Penn, 0-9; to Swarthm.ore, 0-9; to Stevens, 3-4; and wins over Drexel, 5-0; Washington College. 6-0; Dickinson, 6-1; Springfield, 5-1; Johns Hopkins, 5-2; Temple, 4-3. m Basehall JF THE writer of these pages had his way, the story of the Class ' baseball activities would begin and end with a full account of the happenings of the afternoon of May 21, 1927. That afternoon Haverford played baseball. With Hen Supplee the master of ceremonies on the mound, Brother Al behind the bat, and Deacon Richie playing a minor role in the outfield (not to mention numerous members of classes less noted here than 30), Haverford let down Swarthmore with one hit, a scratch single off Hen Supplee ' s shins by Adelman, and one run, scored after a succession of errors by Pop Vanneman. Mean- while Haverford, groaning and straining, had pushed two men across home plate. But a tyrannical editor has dem.anded that two pages be filled with a resume of the tragical events of the Haverford baseball team during the last four years. Tragedy you shall have. To begin with Act Four —but better still, to begin with the cast as it took the stage in Act Four — Cbach Roy Thomas found only four veterans when he called the first prac- tice this spring. Kingham, Abbott, Tripp, Corson had graduated. Keech had left for other parts. Hen Supplee was pitching to batters with the Athletics in Florida. Only Richie, Zuber, Longacreand Al Supplee w ere left from last year ' s team, though Irish Logan, a .500 batter of the 1926 squad, had returned for duty. Rhinies swarrred the field. With three of the veterans (memories of Zuber ' s many slips at third last year rankled so strongly that he was ordered to guard carefully the WW m 123 water-bucket), several left-over second-stringers and the Rhinies, the coach proceeded to build what has commonly been known as the 1930 Haverford baseball team. Al Supplee was moved up from the catcher ' s to the pitcher ' s box, Richie resumed his old job of chasing flys m right field (after half a dozen gaires in which he went hitless, Richie turned in his suit), Logan was put at second, Longacre played first, and Gummere held down short. Of the Rhmies, Hager played left. Rice third, Simons caught, and Tripp (the younger brother, you know) was put in middle field in what proved to be a vain hope that he could clout the ball as Tripp the Elder was wont to do. This cast was not per- manent. Before the Penn game, the coach asked Logan if he could pitch. -Sure, Irish replied. Let ' s see your curve then, Thomas ordered. What ' s a curve? Logan queried. Nevertheless, Logan did pitch part of the Penn game, - hen it developed that Simons ' throwing arm was scaled for two hundred feet, no more and no less, he was shifted to the outfield to take Richie ' s place, since (a) he could hit, and (b) the quaint custom of the ball being returned to the pitcher after a pitched ball, by way of the outfield, had come to annoy umpires who did not want to eat cold suppers. Cadbury now and again was shifted to shortstop when the coach ' s stomach was out of order and too many errors upset him. The bench was held down by Olton, whose balmiest baseball days were when he was hurling North Barclay to victory m the intra-mural league, ably assisted by Chadwick, who introduced the team to that fine old Mercersburg (he was a second-string catcher there) custom of tobacco-chewing. The names of the other first-string bench-warmers read like a country time-table: Hymes, Fanes, Bluett, Zuber, Jessop, Mendelssohn, Ballard, Jacobs, Singer, Hartel, Conner, Carr, Hazard, Hemphill, and Stokes. With this strange array, the season began with Haverford loser to Penn, 15-1. Dart- mouth was the next college to take advantage of the team, but, being gentleiren, they did it courteously, 4-3. Lehigh came next, drubbing the boys, 15-1. Then the worm turned: the team won from Moravian, 15-5. St. Joseph ' s let Haverford down with a 5-2 trouncing, while Army, the next opponent, was content to win, 6-2. Once again the team revived to trim Osteopathy, 4-2, but then slumped to lose to Stevens, 5-2. In the first six games of the season Haverford accumulated 23 errors— which really tells the story.

To satisfy this apparent demand for the personified norm, the editors accordingly present to you the actual incarnation of the Spirit of 1930, Mr. J. Anyone Thirty. Not only is his age the average of the individual ages of the class, his home town the geographical center of the class ' s population (some 23 miles distant, as a matter of record, in a northeasterly direction from Haverford), and his face a composite of the individual photographs of the class, but his record is written up in the manner traditional in such cases. He it is who is meant when one speaks of the Class , for he is the class. J. ANYONE THIRTY EUREKA, PA. Born, 1908 Entered from Eureka High School in 1926. Cricket Squad (1); 4th Team Soccer (2); Sub-assistant Manager of Track (2); Nfiws Board (3); Instrumental Club (4); Classical Club; Liberal Club; Science Club; English Club; Outing Club; Riders ' and Drivers Club; Hammer Club; Ace of Clubs; Board of Directors. JOHN is one of the quieter members of our Cbss, hut we would miss him very much if he were not with us, for those of us who really know him have learned to appreciate his unassuming smile and quiet good nature. Many of us will long remember his stellar playing as reserve half-back on Coach Steele ' s Fourth Team Sopho- more year, and his decision to give up Soccer at the beckoning call of study in Junior year was undoubtedly a loss to the Varsity. As member of the Sports Board of the J ews for two months during the winter of Junior year, he performed brilliant reportorial service which would undoubtedly have brought him the editorship if scholastic difficulties had not compelled him to relinquish this honor also. And his playing of the accordion in the Instrum.ental Club Senior year will long be famous in Haverford musical history; while only this spring he was one of the small group of loyal Haverfordians who took over the almost defunct Hammer Club and t. ' ansformed it into a live and going organization. It is undoubtedly a loss to the social affairs given by the Main Line debs that John has for four long years remained faithful to the little girl he left behind him in Eureka. Although John refuses to divulge any infor- mation on this subject, it seems pretty certain from the number of times a week Mac brings him one of those Uttle pink envelopes post-marked Eureka, that John really means business and will be among the first of our number to enter upon the charm.ed state ot matrimony. John is undecided as to the particular field into which he will elect to turn his endeavors after receiving the coveted sheepskin, but we are sure that his unassuming smile and quiet good nature will certainly carry him far in any line of work he may choose to take up. 127 I r i ' I ' l ' i ' g ' i ' j P ted to write on every page , - all questions have been a ' ford C V either given nor recei id if I have seen any fact to the Student oil Shelley De-Bun ed — Gray LET ' S see, what are we talking about today? . . . Oh, yes, Mr. Miller was going to talk about Shelley ' s early poems up to the time he met Lady Cardigan. In- teresting man, Shelley, isn ' t he, Mr. Miller? . . . You think so? Well, I don ' t. All right, let ' s hear . . . Excuse me interrupting for a moment, but really it pains m.e to hear you pronounce the names of English families all wrong. Of course, the name of Shelley ' s mother ' s family was pronounced Marshbanks, otherwise why should they spell it Beauchamp? And for God ' s sake, call it Kirkobry, not Kircodbright. All right, excuse my interrupting . . . Oh, Good Lord, no, that ' s all wrong. I suppose you got that out of Carlyle ' s life — no, Mr. Atkinson, the Lord Keeper of the Seals is not a Cabinet Minister, he is an attendant at the Zoo in London — let ' s see, where were we? . . . Oh, yes, the fact of the matter is Shelley ' s life is the most unimportant thing about him. I always call him the Eternal Sophomore, he never really grew up. And, when you come to think of it, he was the most disgusting young prig that ever existed. If I ' d been his father, I ' d have taken him by the scruff of his neck and kicked him where God meant young prigs to be kicked. It ' s almighty fine having two wives at a time and plenty of platonic affinities on the side, but to go about saying that was the work of the Holy Ghost was too much of a good thing. It ' s one thing to lead a disreputable life, but it becomes a bore when all the sinners start howling that they are really saints and angels. No, Mr. Atkinson, a Privy Councilor is not a member of the Sewage Disposal Com mission. . . . Excuse me a moment, Mr. Miller, that reminds me of a story I once heard about Shelley ' s son. He was one of the phlegmatic Englishmen that you hear of outside the American so-called humorous magazines — no, Mr. Atkinson, a Baroness in her own right is not a title of nobility in England, it ' s just a pompous name for a woman who practices birth-control — let ' s see, what was I going to say . . . Oh, yes, about Sir Percy (anecdote follows which leaves the class respectfully puzzled). What ' s the point of that story, you ask, Mr. Martin? It hasn ' t got any. The best stories never have. It ' s only American jokes which have to have points in them . . . Oh, well, we won ' t discuss that now. Mr. Miller is telling us about Shelley. Proceed, please, Mr. Miller. . . . Oh, please excuse my saying so, but that really is a lie — I ' m not speaking to you personally, of course, but I mean to say you got that out of Smithers life, and Smithers doesn ' t know a thing about Shelley. Shelley was no more a mystic than I am. No, Mr. Atkinson, the Garter-King-at-Arms isn ' t a royal herald, he ' s the man who ties the King ' s garters round his arms at State dinner-parties — let ' s see, where had we got to? Oh, yes, mysticism. A mystic, of course, is a man who has violent attacks of subliminal up-rush — let ' s see, who was it who said subliminal up-rush was another name for epi- lepsy — some one at Yale, I expect. (A discourse on mysticism follows which leaves the class dazed.) Well, Mr. Miller, you don ' t seem to be getting on very fast. . . . Yes, I thought you would say that. You got that out of Bimbawm ' s life. Bimbawm would say that, of course. No, Mr. Atkinson, the Prime Minister is not allowed to stand on his head in the presence of the King, that privilege was abolished in 1873 — but talking of Shelley, I was looking up some old family histories of Virginia, and I discovered that 130 Shelley ' s great-uncle married a niece of George Washington ' s. You see the family resem- blance, don ' t you, Mr. Saint . . . You do, do you? Well, I don ' t. Suppose I write it out on the board. (A vast genealogical table goes up on the board which leaves the class suspicious.) All right, Mr. Miller, let ' s hear about Shelley ' s Ode to the Mocking Bird. Probably that ' s his best poem — no, Mr. Atkinson, they do not give the title of Virgin Queen to the widows of English kings — all right, Mr. Miller. . . . You really want to know whether Shelley d;d murder his step-sister ' s half-brother, Mr. Dothard? Well, as a matter of fact, there are only three people who can give you a definite answer to that question. One of them ' s a deaf-mute in Potsdam, the other is a man shut up in a madhouse in Paris, and the third ' s me, and I ' ve forgotten the answer for the moment. Bell gone? All right, finish up next time, Mr. Miller. eJ Just One of the Boys — Brown LET ' S see now. Is Plankenhorn here? Gosh, that fellow has been cutting too much. I don ' t know what to do with a fellow like that. He ' s only been to three out of the last twelve classes, and they were exams. One of these days some of the upperclassmen are going to be hauled up like that! and then there ' s going to be trouble. Oh, he ' s in the infirmary? Gosh! I ' m sorry. What ' s the matter with him? I ' ll have to go over and see him. Well, let ' s see what we have to do today. Where were we? I thought we had covered that. Well, let ' s begin. Charlie, will you trans- late the first line and a half? Yes, I see you ' ll have to stop in the middle of a sentence, but I want to give everybody a chance today. How did you translate ombre? No, it doesn ' t mean pretense, it means shadow. Yes, I see it would make more sense your way, but the vocabulary says shadow. Gosh, you ' ve got to be more careful about things like that. Some of you fellows are going to have the surprise of your lives when you get up in the President ' s class. One little mistake like that, and zip! the whole thing ' s wrong, and you get a zero. I suppose I ' m spoiling you by being so good to you, but gosh, you ought to try and work harder. What ' s that? There ' s a footnote that says the word ought to be translated pretense ? Well, the President wrote the book and he ought to know. I won ' t argue with him, but it just shows you ' ve got to pay attention to little things like that. . . Hey, wake up. Bill. I ' ll bet you don ' t know a thing that ' s been going on here. Can you tell me why they don ' t use the article in front of that next to last noun? Gosh, how many times do I have to tell you fellows that? It ' s a partitive construction. You see it isn ' t all the leaves on all the trees: it ' s just some of the leaves on some of the trees. Gee, I can keep saying these things and you never pay any attention. . . . Hoh ' um! Had a hard night last night. But that ' s no excuse for you fellows slouching down in your seats as if you didn ' t have any backbone. Gee! If you could just sit up here and see the way you look. What would you think if I sat up here like WM thi5? Well, I guess we ' ll have to go on with the reading. Gosh, we ' ll have to hurry. We ' ve only done two pages in the last week and the other section is five pages ahead. I know I owe this section a cut, but how the dickens can I give it to you when we ' re so far behind! Joe, will you translate the next two lines? Don ' t you have a book of your own? Gee, I don ' t see how some of you fellows get along. If 1 were you. Bill, I wouldn ' t loan him my book. Make him get one of his own. All right, Joe. You haven ' t pre- pared this? Why, we ' re only at the second line. Gosh! One of these days I ' m going to lose my patience and get sore at you fellows. I try to treat you white and then you turn around and act like this. Don ' t even do two lines of translation ! Some day a few of you fellows are going out on your ear. I can put up with just so much and then my patience stops. You fellows have got to realize that you must dig in and get this stuif. I don ' t want to have to stand over you with a whip and pull it out of you. Gee! It ' s just discouraging! Horsing the Boys — Herndon GENTLEMEN, we have gotten two or three days behind our schedule according to the sheets but I am going to start today to discuss two subiects in one lecture, so that we will be caught up by December 18. Oh, yes, I want to tell you about the marks on that last examination. On the whole, they were excellent — far better than I expected. But there were two or three men who didn ' t do so well. Mr. Cowles, I know that you won ' t mind if I tell the class that your paper was the best, one of the finest papers I ever have seen. You made a 99.9. Mr. Richie was second with a 98. There were seven other A ' s, nine B ' s, one C, and one D. You want to know your m.ark, Mr. Richardson? Come up after class. Now the next examination will come tO ' morrow. By the way, that reminds me: I must see the ? ews about that funny-paper (it ' s going to be funnier than any cartoons you ever saw). In this last examination one member of the class said Jameson ' s Raid was an attack by natives on the house of Cecil Rhodes after he had accumulated a large number of valuable diamonds from the mines of the veldts. (Well trained after a year with f (x), the class snic ers appreciatively.) This morning we are going to deal with the economic status of Timbuctoo as the result of her entrance last year into the League of Nations. In 1928 the exports from that country exceeded the imports by only two zannas (let ire see; before the war there were three zannas to the lire, and four lire to the dollar — that makes the zanna worth about eight cents — a little more than eight, but it doesn ' t matter — let ' s say eight cents). But last year, the difference was three zannas. I asked Ramsay MacDonald about this at Geneva last year and about its significance — whether Great Britain would change her policy toward Timbuctoo. Koot Mon, No! he said (we were speaking in Scotch). By the way, speaking of Geneva, I want you gentlemen to know that m.ost of the really big accomplishments over there are not effected at the conferences but at the little dinners where we get together personally. I remember one night when T had Briand at supper. . . , 111 — : i -- gii lM so But to return to Timbuctoo, I wish, as I often have said before, that every one of you collected stamps. If you could only see that letter F surcharged on the upper right-hand corner of the purple issue of 1916, you would never forget that a French consul was arrested for smuggling in Timbuctoo that year. That led to severe economic decline for a period of several months. Well, that will be enough for this morning. Remember that on Friday you are to have a report prepared on the work of the League in connection with sleeping sickness in Bolivia. Mr. Miller, C.W., and Mr. Miller, J. L., may I see you for a moment after class? Getting to Grips V ith. Reality — Steere J WANT to first of all before I do anything else here this afternoon get to grips, so to speak, with this whole problem of emotions. Norr, what did you get out of the chapter on this subject in Woodworth? . . . Yes, you have a very good point there. Now, Atkinson, can you develop that a little further? . . . Yes, that ' s very good, but we don ' t want to stray too far from the subject we ' re discussing. I hope you all see that we ' re face to face, so to speak, with this whole problem of whether the emotions or the reason are the supreme thing in man, so to speak. I am inclined to firmly believe that this whole question presents one of the most vital challenges, so to speak — Yes, Blair? . . . Well, I don ' t agree with you there, but I should be interested to fully thrash out the matter with you some time. See me after class if you will. But as I was saying this is a question which is occupying the minds of most great psychologists. McDougall says that — Yes, Olton? ... I think you have a good point there, Robert. Could you bring it out a little more stronfly? Or what would you say to that, Lindsay? . . . Well, I wouldn ' t say it was exactly esoteric or macahre, but I think your point is very well taken. This whole problem of emotion in religion is brought out very well by Schleiermacher in his Reden. If you ever want to realize the absolute dependence, as it were, of man on God, you should read that book. It will give you, so to speak, a real thrill. You ' ll just want to get up and cheer. I ' d really be very glad to meet with some of you down at my house so.r.e evening and get to grips, as it were, wi -h this tremendous, vital question of the nature of God. . . . But to get back to our m.ain subject, McDougall brings out a very good point in a case which he furnishes, and which I shall read: The patient, John B. Smith, S ' M-I-T-H — you needn ' t take that down — was the only child of an idiotic father and a mother who was, so to speak, a prostitute. As a young child he had no companions and appeared to be content playing with his ball, so to speak, in the streets. At the age of eight he raped his mother and set fire to an orphan asylum. When he appeared at the clinic — • Masked Intruder AT Window: I ' ll teach you to break up my home!!! (He throws m a paper-wrapped bric}{.) You have a good point there. Could you bring that out a little more strongly? A Ver) ' Contemporary Drama Featuring E. D. Snyder and an all ' Star cast Snyder (starting off briskly) : Today, gentleman, we discuss the play Anna Christie by Eugene O ' Neill. Note, if you will, that it came out in 1920, that it is another one of ONeill ' s plays about the sea and the submerged tenth aind that it is — (here follows a firolonged pause while he stares out the window at the P. ■ ' W. traces with the fond, rapt gaze of the company ' s largest stocltholder) — in four acts. Note also, if you will, that the action of the whole play depends on Old Chris not recognizing his daughter Anna as a prostitute, and that this situation has been criticized as very improbable. Now, Mr. Durham, would you be inchned to agree with such a criticism? Durham: Well — er — yes, I think it is improbable. It ' s a more or less easy thing to spot a woman as a prostitute. Snyder: Mister Durham, as I have had occasion to point out many times in the past, it is a peculiarly pernicious habit of undergraduate speech to be forever weakening every statement made by tagging on the loose modifier, more or less . Now, Mr. Durham, do you mean a more easy thing, or do you mean a less easy thing? Durham (after prolonged and not unpleasant reflection): More. Snyder: All right. Now does anyone disagree with Mr. Durham? (J lo one dares; Snyder consults his roll-hoo}{.) Mr. Drake, what would you say? Drake (painfully turning the grindstone): Um — um — um — well, looking at it from the viewpoint of old Chris — Snyder: Pardon me, Mr. Drake, but as I have had occasion to point out before, the word viewpoint does not exist in good English usage. One may have a standpoint or a point of view but never the barbarously colloquial viewpoint . Continue, Mr. Drake; I apologize for the interruption, but from the viewp — er — point of view of a professor of English, such misuse of the language is unpardonable. Drake (having to start turning the grindstone all over again): Um — um — well, I only wanted to say that — er — uh — Old Chris isn ' t very bright and — uh — he ' s drunk, anyhow. Snyder: Yes. I really don ' t think it ' s so improbable. It ' s incredible, gentlemen, how naive and unconscious towards such matters even comparatively alert people can sometimes be. Why, would you believe it, only last fall in my Chaucer class I found a man who didn ' t know what the word swyve meant. He thought it meant to work ! (The humour of this situation temporari v overpowers him.) But now, gentle- men, disposing for the moment of the criticism that the situation is improbable, let us take up the criticism that it is immoral. I refer to introducing a prostitute as the heroine. Most of us today are not in the habit of putting a narrow and rigid system of morality ahead of every other consideration, but it is important to reaKze that such straight-laced people exist. You will recall how Gulliver, among the Lilliputians, saved the royal palace from burning to the ground by putting out the fire with the only available water supply; and then was taken severely to task by the prudish Queen for the disgracefulness of his act. There was, of course, no river nearby and IIG m 134 he — (There foUows another lengthy period of meditation on the P. W. and other entrancing objects to be observed out the window.) Pardon me, gentlemen, but there seems to be a fire in my backyard. (A momentary thrill of excitement runs through the class.) Well, it seems to be well under control by now; let us go on. Note, if you will, that the question of morality is bound to enter, sooner or later, into any discussion of art; people ' s outlook on life, for instance, is very materially influenced by the sort of plays they go to see. Now about this question of having a prostitute for a heroine — (still more communion with the P. W.) — what do you think, Mr. Jones? Jones: Well, of course, we don ' t want to be dogmatic, but in the first place, it seems to me that, speaking by and large, as it were, and — (Here the curtain is momentarily lowered to denote the passage of one-half hour.) . . . — but then, on the other hand, or perhaps in the second place, you ' ve got to remember that — Snyder (m vast irritation, hrea ing in li}{e the Day 0 Judgment): Impossible, Mr. Jones; this cannot go on! The immorality of it depends entirely on the personal viewp — point of view. To the pure all things are pure. But let us pass on, gentlemen, to the question of whether Mat Burke would have actually come back to Anna in real life, or whether O ' Neill just tacked on the happy ending in the fourth act to please the public. Mr. Durham, will you tell us what you think about this? Durham (waging up with a start): Brumph! Well — er — uh — yes. I guess it ' s more or less true to life. Snyder (acidly): Well now, Mr. Durham, do you mean more, or do you mean less? Durham: Er — uh — well, I guess I more or less mean more. Snyder (with a wic}{edly determined grin): Well now, Mr. Durham, do you mean more more, or do you mein less more? Durham (in desperation): Oh, I don ' t know, and I think this whole affair is getting more or less tiresome. Snyder (from force of habit) : Well now, Mr. Durham, do you mean more or do you mean less? The Entire Class (with intense coni ' iction): More! ' .! The Census Ta ers 1. (a) Dees the vile practice of bootlicking exist at Haverford? (b) If not, what do you call your method. ' a.

Do you really believe that Haverford College is not interested m educating any young man addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor? The consensus seems to be that the statement is quite correct; but that, on the ill 135 other hand, Haverford College is most certainly addicted to educating young men interested in the use of intoxicating liquor. 3.

Reading beat out sleeping by a nose in this one. Six members of the class placed bets on Rufus to speak first; one remembered an excruciatingly funny joke which caused him to laugh out loud; three confess to having listened to the words of wisdom; and two others were fascinated by the beardof theold Quaker on the left of the top row. 5.

Every incident, every insinuation must be caref ully calculated to bring out the fact that never before have so princely a set of fellows been gathered together on God ' s green earth as the herein described youths, who, for four long years, have absorbed their educational milk- and-water from the breast of the same Alma Mater. Add a delicate hint as to the probable dreariness of the campus before the advent of these illustrious sons, imply grave doubts as to the college ' s ability to go on running after their departure; and season to taste. Unfortunately, how- ever, the seasoning is usually done with so heavy a hand and the sugar spread on so thick that one begins to suspect these beautiful panegyics of being written not so much to attest the virtues of the class to a supposedly ad.riring world, as to silence certain insistent misgivings the class may have about itself. For any, therefore, who look to the Class History thus to sustain them in the faith, we fear this chronicle of the doings of 1930 will provide but sorry comfort. Freshman Tear Our arrival at Haverford, in spite of so.ne half-hearted help from ' 29, rather failed of being the spectacular affair that some of us (nourished or Harold Lloyd In The Fresh- man and like movies of vintage 1926) had imagined. In bewildered but comparatively unmolested twos and threes, we kept straggling in for several days before the actual opening of college — some of us for football or soccer practice, more of us to take College Board re-exams. In such time as was left over from these pursuits we carried furniture for upperclassmen or explored the campus, timidly mistaking for juniors spindling youths who later turned out to be our own classmates, and blithely forming fast friendships with others who might have been our clas.smates bad they not flunked the exam.s and passed out into oblivion — unnamed, unhonored and unsung. This process c ontinued until enough of us got here to be properly designated as the Class of 1930. There was not, so far as can now be ascertained, any special conjunctions of the planets at the tiine. All in due course Wednesday night also arrived, and from then on through the next few weeks our career at Haverford was largely a matter of reverentially going through the time-honored rituals which (as the deep-browed Stew Hoskins solemnly explained to uf) would turn us collectively into real, honest-to-God Haverfordians. We shuddered at the IIG 139 Collison beard and the Collision growl at first-night roll-call; we skipped collectively on co.nmand; we staged crew races on the lawn; we gave each other egg shampoos to stave off the menace of middle-age baldness; we prayed to Jupiter Pluvius for rain and got it from the second floor Center; we wallowed in the fertile ooze of the skating pond and served as targets for fifteen (count ' em, fifteen) baskets of tomatoes; and we were at home individually in our rooms to upper-class callers far, far into the night. Thursday morning we milled our way sheepishly into the Union (Roberts was then in the throes of alteration) and finally found the seats the gods had allotted us; and at 9:10, just as advertised m the catalogue, College officially opened with oratorical solos by one man named Comfort and another cryptically referred to as The Dean, various other faculty members form- ing a silent choir of moral support in the background. The former speaker electrified us with the infomiation that another academic year was commencing, that Haverford College expected every man to take full advantage of the opportunities offered him, and that students were requested not to walk too much on the grass; the latter jimply invited us to ' ■emain behind for a short extra show staged for freshman benefit by the professor of mathematics. We did: and we kept on remaining for, or going to, extra shows for the next week. We went to the free midnight show (Red Grange ' s first football picture) at the Ardmore and returned to find that the sophomores had arranged another free show (the disappearing pajamas) for us on the campus. We went to a Faculty reception in the old Y room; we went to a Presidential reception at Uncle Billy ' s house; we went to a Customs Committee reception in the small math room. We went to our first Students ' Association meeting and voted obediently for unlimited cuts for the upper classes and the honor system for ourselves. We underwent instruction from Fos Webster in class organization; from Bready and Horton in cheering; from Collision in Rhinie apparel. We even managed to find time for a little instruction by Faculty members in the things we had supposedly come to college to learn. But this was too much. By then we were tired of the forced diet of official functions and wished for nothing so much as leisure to sit, feet up, in bull sessions and exchange with each other the few Rabelaisian classics we had brought up with us from prep school, or acquire new ones from upper-classmen along with the inevitable information on mirth in Math. 1 . Most of the class, it must be confessed, took to this style of education in the facts of life with far more enthusiasm than had been displayed towards any of the more formal varieties; and a few even took it upon themselves to go in for individual laboratory work as extensively as was possible under the system of Rhinie evening report which HO WM had early been clapped down on us by the Dean. Rhmie report, of course, was only one phase of the extensive campaign which Fntue inaugurated to instill us with the fear of God and of Fritzie — a campaign carried out with such fervor that many of us were in danger of confusing the two, until some sharp-tongued soul relieved us by pointing out that this was an error to which Fritzie also was occasionally liable. Having no one in our midst to stir up a Rhinie revolt, we did all the things expected of yearlings with a fair degree of docility. If long-standing custom demanded that enongh of us break rules to give the Customs Committee an excuse for inventing new styles in freshman dress, enough of us were obediently disobedient; if the cheer- leading department demanded that every red-blooded he-Haverfordian support the football team on the Johns Hopkins trip, we mortgaged our next month ' s allowances en masse to get down to Balti- more and back; and if the two upper classes demanded a Roman holiday in the shape cf a Soph-Rhine fight, we did our best to work up a really efficient blood-lust. In the last case, however, it was a comparatively unobserved preliminary skirmish which provided the keenest excitement of the day. The sophs, by the clever use, early in the afternoon, of the ageless stratagem of managerial work, had managed to entice a scattered battalion of their opponents into the springhouse down by the board track and lock the door on them. There was aimless jostHng about within the prison, shouting and confusion and more barrels of manure than we were to see iii one place again until Doggy Johnson went in for bigger and better lawns in the winter of senior year; but the smart sophomores had made one fatal mistake; they had included Egg Morris in the beleaguered group of Rhinies. When the springhouse door finally burst open, the regularly scheduled fight turned out to be somewhat of an anti-climax, with ' 29 having twenty -five men ( ' to our none) left on the field at the concluding whistle. Of the few things in which 1930 can boast of excelling all other classes now in College, the Rhinie Cake-walk show is undoubtedly one. Merion and Center Barclay put on the best acts, both of them extremely topical skits at the time, the latter being a straight burlesque of the contemporary Halls-Mills murder trial, with Shorty Lindsay and Nick Wilbur as opposing attorneys and Vic Bullen rather appropriately cast as the pig-woman. The Merion act (drawing its inspiration from the then popular operetta, The Student Prince, and its revised book from the versatile Jack Carr) presented The Stewed Prince m Haverburg and capitalized Uncle Billy ' s recent departure for China to take as its hero Dean Fritz, cutting up in bis sire ' s absence with the heroine, one Effi: played by Jim Brown. The specific hits of the show were probably the utter drunkenness of the chorus ■ ; ill BG OB and the theme song sung by Rogers: Vrn a rolUc mg lord from Haverford, And a hell of a student prince; I once got stewed on Founders food. And I ' ve not been sober since; But Vve learned the means of eating their beans With never a single wince: So, Vm a rollicking lord from Haverford, And a hell of a student prince! The only other real event before Christmas vacation that first year was the Rhinie-junior dance. It is doubtful whether any other social affair of our college career — even our Junior Proiti — got us so excited as this first dance. For weeks before the event we carried on sporadic but extremely vocal arguments (in such forums as the Center Barclay corridor during Rhinie report) as to whether it should be formal or informal, whether the Haverfordians or an outside orchestra should play at it, whether it should be held at the Merion Cricket Club or elsewhere. Discussion was possibly enlivened somewhat by the rumor which got around to the effect that the Faculty also had had some debate on this last point. At the official meeting (so the story ran) one professor, already well-known for his advocacy of the Eighteenth Amendment, had arisen with the objection: I hear that liWer can be obtained there. Whereupon (the story continued) a smothered laugh, perhaps even better known to us as freshman, was heard from the rear of the room together with the remark, Last time I was down there you couldn ' t. But this, of course, was only an unsubstantiated story; and true or not, we held our dance at the Merion Cricket Club. As is usually the case, most of the interesting events of the year seemed to occur before Christmas. Mid-years, naturally, presented some novelty and a Httle valuable training in how to pass a required course on ten hours cramming the day and night before the exam; but, on the whole, the only real excitement of the winter was provided by the opening of the snowball season. Drastic threats of expulsion by Uncle Billy managed to keep Founders Kail windows intact, but the Ad ninistration had unfortunately neglected to include Library Lecturers in his list of tabooed targets: the chief result of this was that Provost Pennunan of the U. of P. prefaced his address on the Bible by remarking, I arrived at the door this evening accompanied by your Dean and a snowball. Your Dean I brought in with me at my .?ide, the snowball on my coat. The real nub of the joke, however, was that Perera had originally aimed for Fritzie. The rest of the third quarter, from a Rhinie point of view, seemed largely a matter 911 of being turned into expert chair-movers, by the basketball management, in the gym; and champion halt-milers, by Pop, on the board track. We resisted both as best we could. Came, like the dawn in old-fashioned movies, the Prom. It being 1928 ' s affair, our only official part consisted in hauling the davenports and easy chairs back and forth between the gym and Lloyd — a task at which our inimitable Ward Bruegel probably set an all-tinie record for something or other when he obeyed the sophomore order to take a mattress to the sunken garden. A good number of us, of course, went to the dance; and, as we remember it at this late date, behaved ourselves somewhat m.ore seemly than the 33 flea-hoppers of the current year. And when the Prom was over, Rhinie year itself seemed practically gone also. The beginning of finals was m.arked by two things: (1) the appearnce of an anonymous publi- cation entitled The Black, being a series of lam.poons and epigrams on the usual professorial subjects, composed by four of our num.ber to while away the duller m oments of Math. 1; and (2) the disappearance of the last vestiges of respectabiHty in freshman clothing, coincident with the soph-frosh love-feast and the end of Rhinie rules. Neither of the two was very enthusiastically received by the powers that be. Except for the destruction wrought by a couple of unexpectedly murderous math exams, however, we managed to make our exit from the campus comparatively unscathed. There were no catchings-of-the-breath to be observed at the departings. Sophomore Tear We returned in September in much the same desultory fashion we had arrived the year before — and not feeling nearly so big and bad as we considered necessary for the ferocious role we had to play to 1931. Being nothing if not P generous, we did our best to pass on to the new Rhinies all that we bad received from ' 29 together with the little extra usually thrown in for interest; and doubtless 1931 secretly appreciated the disciplinary value of the first-night ve gave the.ii, but to us it was so.newhat less interesting (and even less enjoyable) than our own. Probably the most i.nusing part of the initiatory process was the annual IMja.Ta confiscation: this time the Rhinies decided to retaliate in kind and, not being sure very just who the sophomores were, managed to svvipe a goodly number of )unior and senior pajamas instead. But the real coup was pulled by the South Barclay Rhinies who, wilier than their other compatriots, hid inost of the stolen negligee in the trunk of an inviolate junior. Bill Lane and for three days Gucker, ' 29, sat on that trunk proclaiming to the world what he was going to do to those damned Rhinies who had his pajamas. Sophomore year, of course, was nowhere near so importmt or jiiemorable as freshman WW m year had been. Viewed in retrospect, we seem to have been characterized chiefly by the negative quaUties — such as lack of neckties, absence from Students Association meetings and being the only class in College which didn ' t have a scion of the House of Hogenauer in it. New Lloyd, for which ground had been broken the December previous, was now open for habitation and some of us (mostly the sophisticate fringe) managed to squeeze into it, owing to an apparent suspicion of such unwonted luxury or the part of ' 28 and ' 29. But most of us clung to the Spartan simplicity of water fights and dumping parties back in Barclay. To start the year off right, the College barn burned down, an event which had not occurred for some half-dozen years previously — and that about sums up the whole story. Those who were here when it happened will re- member all the details, anyhow, and those who weren ' t will probably see it happen again before they graduate. Carpenter got an S. P. C. A. medal out of it for rescuing the pigs, horses and whatnot; and some of us got gratuitous seatings in the mud through being bowled over by the said pigs in their hurried exit. Football games, soccer games (neither so generally suc- cessful as the year before), and a Rhinie Cake-walk from 1931 wb ' ch — all class bias aside — was feebleness itself compared to the one we had put on the year before. Thanksgiving vacation. Christmas vacation. Mid-years. So ground the wheels of the College calendar, with very little either to impede or accelerate them. A momentary jar occurred when Roedelheini, ' 29, returned from the Christmas holidays as Rodell, Sondheim (also ' 29) became unofficially Sondell and Hymes (of our own charmed circle) is supposed to have started wondering what would happen to his name if the process continued. But this was soon exhausted as a bulling topic. All through the second half, as 1928 began gradually hand over the campus pork barrel to 1929, we began to step up into the secondary sinecures in the various campus organizations. Ever since Rhinie year we had been among the leading noisemakers of the Musical Clubs; and now, with Dave Hedley ' s rise to Editor-in-Chief of the Hews and the consequent ascent of Joe Miller and Jack Blackman to divide Hedley ' s old job of the managing editor- ship, we began to be among the leading trouble-makers of the campus in general. Joe Martin and Tom Wistar made bids for what they considered fam.e by getting jobs which no one else cared a damn about (editor of The Haverfordian and captain of cricket) and the Supplee brothers. Egg Morris, Shirk and Swan held on to m.ore coveted positions in baseball or track. Egg also got the secretary-ship of the Students ' Asso- ciation. Haverford beat SA?arthmore again in a track meet, of which the m.ost exciting feature was Shirk ' s coming from behind to win the 2-mile and incidentally break the College record; and the local boys were again second to N. Y. U. in the Middle Atlantics, B m held this year on Walton Field. Jimmy Babbitt resigned as Director of Athletics (among other things) and the Eddleman Contracting Company started digging for a new engine lab just to prove that the old order does change, after all. We did our required- course cursing over ec this year instead of math, lit out for home two hours after the final exam.; and the year was over. The fourth quarter had held just one specific incident worthy of note and that centered around a member of 28 rather than ' 30. Jock Keith, trying to put up a friend for the night upon an occasion when there were no empty beds in Lloyd, had bethought himself of the expedient of improvising one on a davenport with the help of some of the sheets in the unused Union bedrooms; and so, into one of the darkened upper chambers of the Union, he carefully groped his way. His feet stumbled against the foot of a bed, his hands felt the cool smoothness of a pair of sheets: he tugged at them vigorously and started back for the door, puHing them vith him as he went. Suddenly there came a sad but insistent protest from the bed: Oh, but I sye. ' He had got into the bedroom of the cricket coach. Junior Tear By this year we had grown somewhat tired of Uncly Billy ' s opening day quips on the rather evident fact that College was opening again; and even some new gags about the possibility of adding tone to the campus by the purchase of a flock of sheep — always providing one of us would volunteer for the post of shepherd — failed to move us to any great pitch of enthusiasm. Still, College undoubtedly had re-opened, so we set about corraling members of the latest crop of Rhinies to move our furniture over to Lloyd, re-juggled our schedules a bit to try and get rid of that one Saturday class, and formed book clubs by twos and threes to buy the required copies of that masterpiece, O. B. T., for Bib Lit. Haverford, on the whole, appeared little changed over the summer. Elihu, Petey Lockwood and (x) were all back again in full force; and a new institution, very welcome to the night owls of the class in search of a coffee dispensary which stayed open till a gentleman ' s hour, had also been added in the shape of a Hy-Way Diner next to the Auotcar factory in Ardmore. The year started off with a couple of deaths. The first was that of Ma Swinburne, Lord High Keeper of the College Stomach; but the rise in general edibility of Founders fare under her successor kept the student body from being particularly prostrated with grief. Even less productive of lamentiition was the second demise, that of the College ' s ancient if not exactly honored uplift organization, the Y. M. C. A. In spite of the dramatic suddenness with which the whole thing took place, it is probable that the event created more stir in the Board of Managers and the Four A ' s, m WW HO OH SG respectively, than it did upon the campus: most of the undergraduates seemed to regard it merely as the formal reading of the burial service over a body already dead in fact. The small Christian minority of the Association immediately set to work to stage a resurrection under another name, and in due time the Christian Union rose lily-white from the tomb to ascend to the old Y room where it has since carried on in a way most satisfactory to the rest of the College — providing a genuinely purer and more rarified atmosphere for those thus minded and, on the other hand, generally leaving the wicked to stew peacefully in their sin. In the meantime the football team had risen to great heights to beat Amherst 23-13 and give Haverford its biggest sporting thrill in our four years here; and a few weeks later the same football team had sunk to just as great depths to lose four games straight — even one to Delaware. Football, as a topic for enraptured discussion, somewhat declined. Uncle Billy, with another one of his Collection philippics against campus styles in haberdashery, was much more successful — not that the number of neckties to be observed in Chase Hall rose appreciably, but the ews ' Crow ' s Nest was at least provided with several weeks ' material and enabled to cash in on its Bib Lit course by quoting to the President, Jesus ' snappy retort: Go and do thou likewise. It was just about this time, indeed, that things seemed to be stirring on the campus generally. The Hilles Lab was finally opened to the great delight of Rittenhouse and the engineering coterie of the College, and the Jsjeifs went through a period of internal dissension (not to mention subsequent economic decline ) which would have delighted the lecturing soul of Lunt. The J ews upheaval, though complicated somewhat by the premature retirement of Hedley at Christmas time owing to his sudden departure from College, was basically the age-old conflict between the forces of sin and the minions of righteousness. The minions of righteousness ultimately won and, elated by their victory, set out after a month or two on a campaign to pull the rest of the College up to their exalted level. Having observed that the Musical Club concerts, being very dull affairs, were apt to be livened up with a little bottled stimulus, the editor breathlessly burst into print with the information one Monday night and in- quired, with something he fondly believed to be devastating sarcasm, what the Student Council intended doing about it. There followed a period of general undergraduate anxiety and frantic scurryings about the dormitories in search of witnesses who would swear before the Council that their old pal had been cold sober on the night in question. The Council labored nobly, as in the sight of God and Uncle Billy, through several fervid evening meetings at the end of which time the campus soaks were still with us and a couple of first (or almost first) offenders had had two extra weeks tacked onto their regular spring vacations. {Continued on page 150) WW OH THE DIRECTORS ' ROOM RFXALLING THE PHILADELPHIA OK 1760 PROVIDENT TRUST COMPANY AMERICA ' S PIONEER LIFE INSURANCE TRUSTEE WITH WHICH IS AI ' ITI.IAIED PROVIDENT TITLE COMPANY 147 How Much Will it Cost to Place My Life Insurance in Trust? In most cases the individual takes out life insurance for the purpose of insuring the financial security of his heirs. He realizes that if he leaves the insurance to them outright, he is. to an extent, gambling on the ability of these beneficiaries to invest funds safely and profitably. But, he asks, how much will it cost to place my insurance in trust so that the principal will be safe from all hazards, and the income dependable? The Girard Trust Company makes no charge whatever until the insurance company has paid over the funds. Then, assuming an average case of $100,000 of insurance, the fee amounts to about $12.50 a month. There is no other charge until the termination of the trust, which may be several generations hence.

PHILADELPHIA BALTI.MOR?; WASHINGTON CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page I-)6) The Soaks, insulted by this lackot duerecog ' nition, soon started circulating a petition to oust Blackman from his editorial throne; and since the College generally had grown rather tired of reading Jack ' s what-a-fine- Administration-we-have editorials, the pe- tition waxed fat with names, and various other plans — ranging from physical violence to an amendment to the Constitution of the Students Association — were laid to render vacant the top position on the X[ews ' mast- head. But the affair, having already served its purpose as an outlet for spring spirits, finally cooled down, leaving Blackman still in possession of the iield. Dougie Steere also contributed his little bit to campus excitement with a fake case of assault and battery in psych • class. A carefully hooded figure suddenly appeared at the window and threw in a few angry words, which the class could not afterwards agree on, together with an unmistakable brick — Dougie rising to assure us it was all an experiment just in time to save the masked intruder from massacre at the hands of Killer McConnell. And then, of course, there was the Prom. It IS a well-recognized axiom of Junior Proms that each one is the Best Prom in History. During our stay at Haverford there have been four Best Proms in History and, in the natural course of events, we had to give one of them; ours had conscientious planning, good weather and general jollity — which is precisely the same thing that could be said for all three others. Whether or not it was one of life ' s supreme moments depended, as usual, very much on one ' s particular frame of mind at the particular time it was held. About the only other enlivening event of the year seems to have come in the shape of an addition to the Doggy Johnson saga.

Stationers and Jewelers THE LARGEST COLLEGE ENGRAVING HOUSE IN THE WORLD CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page 1 50) small hours with, naturally, very few wit- nesses and so such details as we have been able to ferret out are of necessity a trifle vague — but it appears to have occurred somewhat as follows. As such things will, a waterpipe somewhere in the basement of East Founders had gone a bit haywire late one spring night. Doggy, eager that none of the Faculty housed there should be without water in the morning, sacrificed his own beauty sleep and hastened to the scene. He shut off the main and probed for the trouble, crawled around with a flash- light and wrench in the dirt of the cellar, labored hard and long, eventually found and fixed the source of the trouble; then, well after 3 A. M., starred for home. He got as far as the walk outside when a window above opened and a head peered out. Oh, is that you, Mr. Johnson? Why, Mr. John- son, we haven ' t any water at all up here. It was not a situation for half-measures. Doggy mastered itat a word: You put your god-damned head in againand get back to bed ! The year ended in the usual Students ' Association elections (Brad Abernethy got president and Koffy Katz secretary) and d perfect flood of retirements and departings. Rufus and Carpenter left for Europe on sabbat, and Elihu persuaded the Board of Managers to ship him somewhere east of Suez for another year ' s carrying on with the shovel. Fritzie stepped down from his throne of Dean in favor of Tat who, ' ' n turn had, been ascending a step nearer it each of the past two years. Pratt left off his thirty-four years of labor proclaiming that now in the oyster, here you see your re- productive organs, here you see, to depart from the Faculty altogether, with farewell dinners and sentimentaUties on every hand. And, the psych exam being finally over, we also departed from the campus, more abruptly and without any farewell dinners.

COMPANY Investynents PHILADELPHIA Senior Tear We got ourselves up for the inevitable ceremony at 9:10 Thursday morning with considerable inward protest and much ex- pectant boredom. Uncle Billy, however, fooled us with a speech full of new and unsuspected treasures. There was the usual adv ' ce to the freshmen in a new disguise. There was the Eighteenth Amendment war-cry (for newspaper consumption to counterbalance the unfortunate publicity of last June): Haverford College is not inter- ested in educating any young man addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor. And there was the pronunciamento to the effect that the vile practice of bootlicking did not exist at Haverford College — or that if it did, the Faculty had not recognized it as such. Atkinson et a . accepted the compli- ment in amused silence. But Uncle Billy, it might be added, was unable to sustain this snappy pace throughout the year. Before Christmas he was back on personal neatness again, and by the middle of the winter he had repeated his famous Hints- to-the-Lovelorn-on-Marriage address of our Rhinie year, pointing out once more that it was a good idea to get the lay of the land before going too far. All this, as usual, was appreciated, though with some bewilder- ment as to just what was the Presidential idea of too far. Senior year, curiously enough, turned out to be rather like freshman in general atmosphere — Williamson and Heller were back on the cam pus as Faculty members, and various names of estabhshed Haverford houses (which we had looked up to in the elder branches of 1927 and could now look down on in the younger stems of 1933) kept reappearing on the Rhinie roll. Just as in 1926, Rufus was away daring the first half, with Uncle Billy dashing off around mid-years (so the (Continued on page 158) Which Services for You?

Besides the subject of an unexpectedly suc- cessful football season, and the inevitable ones of religion and sex, the bull sessions of the early part of the year seemed to feed largely on several questions of politics. The first and most hotly debated was con- fined to our own particular bailiwick alone, and concerned itself largely with the in- sertion of sharper teeth in the Haverford Volstead Act; the second one took the world as Its parish and strove to s -ir up sentiment for international peace. After due election- eering on all sides, the 1930 recorded its sentiments as emphatically against those of both Anti-Saloon League and D. A. R. Another question, that of the muddled party situation in these United States, was agitated in Collection about this time by Howard Y. Williams, of the newly-formed League for Independent Political Action. The occasion probably reached its most piquant moment when Williams pointed out that in Pennsylvania practically the whole state government was in the hands of the corrupt coal interests — while Tat Brown sat behind him on the platform trying bravely not to look like a lump of corrupt coal. As always happens, college life generally struck the doldrums soon after Christmas, the only new subject of wide conversational appeal being Doggy Johnson ' s extended operations for the enrichment of th ' s spring ' s lawns. For a full week the invariable watch- word of the Lloyd Hall walk was: Well, they seem to be getting ready for mid- years! — uttered each time with the proud smile of conscious originality. Of other excite- ment there seemed to be little enough except for two un usually warm nights — one back in February and the other the eve of the Junior Prom — when spring fever reached (Continued on page 160) I ' lSSS SS HENGEL BROS, FLORISTS 58-60 East Lancaster Pike Ardmore, Pa.

On the first occasion nothing occurred more violent than under- graduate bellowings, newspaper bonfires and garlands of toilet paper draped from the branches of the large tree near North; on the second, the usual vocal tumult was augmented by a noble physical activity which resulted in Lindsay ' s and Petey Martin ' s Fords occupying the porch of Roberts, and Hanna ' s bicycle the first crotch of one of the Lloyd lawn trees on Friday morning — with results from the Roberts rostrum that are easily to be imagined. Aside from these two evenings, however, all the excitement of the second half of the current year seemed to be of the statistical sort. We beat Swarthmore, in one of the weirder track meets of 1930 ' s experience, by exactly one-third of one point; Katz and Wray were elected president and secretary respectively of the Students ' Association for next year without any great ballyhoo; the J ews board staged another of its cyclic revolutions. But that was about all. Ex- cept for the mere formal approved stamp of a degree, our college careers were over. It is traditional, of course to finish off a Class History with a bit of high-flown blurb, pointing out that these last few months have been in some mystic way specially memorable and (after throwing in a few gratuitous sentimentalities about leave-takings and such like) capping the monument with Ave atque vak or some similar gem to prove that Latin 1 was not entirely wasted. But though this mystic-sweet-communion is undoubtedly the most touching picture for the fade-out, the harsh camera of truth breaks in with an entirely different picture. This one is largely composed of hurried measurements for caps and gowns, worryings about how to drag down a graduation present from Aunt (Continued on page ]62) 160 HOTEId demmi .  ,,v7 ,v , l ' l,,n n..kl ATI. antic; c:irY, n. j.

And it is on this discordant note of frenzied activity, rather than on any deep tones of calm review of the four years ' span, that our Haverford careers end. To us, naturally, the four years, which have been bestowed upon us, have been a unique and interesting experience; and, no doubt, they have had their memorable moments. But there is no reason to suppose that they have been any more so than the same period was to ' 29 or will be to ' 31, and absolutely no excuse for calling on high heaven to witness that we have added some- thing definite and precious to the world- wide spirit of brotherhood by merely accepting the gift of these four years in each others ' company. Nor for invoking that worst of all alma mater songs and defying Time ever to part the ties that ever bind the hearts of every son of Haverford : personally we would put our money on Father Time any day in the week. The four years, granted, have been pleasant, carefree, valuable, and all that; but the four years are gone, and the focus now turns from the four dreamy years behind to the forty bustling years ahead. And with these, the four years behind have very little directly to do. So, since a Class History really seems ex- pected to conclude with some sort of pat quotation, let us be content with unpreten- tious Enghsh: Good-bye to all that.
