CCSENGACTEN Business Manager DEDICATION We, the class of 1930, dedicate this, the record of our high school career, to our parents who made possible our happy days at Haverford. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 CREED I will become more than I am. I will achieve more and more every day because I know that I can. I will recognize only that which is good in myself; only that which is good in others; only that in all things and all places that I know will live and grow. When adversity threatens I will be more determined than ever in my life to prove that I can turn all things to good account. When those whom I have trusted seem to fail me, I will have a thousand times more faith in the honor and nobility of men. I will think only of that which has virtue and worth. I will wish only for that which gives freedom and truth. I will accept only that which can add to the welfare of the race. I will live to live more. I will speak to give encouragement, inspiration and joy. I will work to be of service to an ever increasing number, and in every thought, word and action my ruling desire shall be to enrich, ennoble and beautify existence for all who come my way. CCDE “To know what is right and not to do it, is the want of courage.” Haverford High School believes that to do right through fear of punishment does not develop strength of character. Remove the fear and there is the same inclination to do wrong. To do right because it is right is character building. Haverford High School wishes to offer its student opportunity for such character development and adapts this code as a guide to personal conduct. 1. Be true to yourself, your family, your community, your school, your coun- try, your state, and your God. 2. Obey the Law. Social, Natural and School. 3. Be Honest: Thought, Word and Deed. 4. Keep Clean: Body, Mind, Language. 5. Work: It is the key to success. 6. Practice thrift: Time, Money, Possessions. 7. Be Courteous: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” 8. Be regular and punctual in your attendance and in meeting obligations. 9. Be courageous: Stand for that which is fair and right even though you may stand alone. 10. Be good sportsman: Play fair and square and never give up. 11. Be worthy of confidence—deserving of Friendship. 12. Be conservative and yet progressive: Choose safe and stable things and yet accept the new if it contributes to good. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 FACULTY J.

JANUARY, 1930 To the Class of January, 1930: “Be not an idler in this busy world: Fill every day with sweetness to the brim; Keep all thy radiant flags of hope unfurled, And lift along the way a joyous hymn Strive valiantly, since right must vanquish wrong. But ever rush to battle with a song. Please accept my sincere congratulations upon the many valiant battles you have al- ready won. There are yet many bigger and far more intensive battles to be fought I be- lieve you are going out into the world well armed for its engagements. I have implicit faith in your ability to win. I shall follow you with increasing interest, I shall share with you the pleasure of anticipated achievements, I shall joy with you in their fruition. I wish you a long life of health, happiness, and pros- perity; the well-earned respect and highest es- teem of all who shall know you and the mer- ited approbation of Almighty God. Sincerely yours, J. FRANK CARTER, Tour Principal. To the Graduates of January, 1930: You approach the close of your high school days with an undaunted faith in your personal power of achievement, with the ardent en- thusiasm bom of such a faith, and with a sincere desire to find abundant tasks that shall challenge your strength and enable you to con- tribute significantly to human betterment. A supreme challenge of life is to conserve for the years of ripened judgment, this virile faith, this driving enthusiasm and this unselfish zeal of youth. May these priceless present possessions abide with each of you through many years. THOS. A. BOCK, Superintendent of Schools. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 To the Class of ’30: Today seems but yesterday and tomorrow’s hopes are already near at hand. Graduation has at last opened to us the door of opportu- nity. Where? One does not know. It is the great unknown which each one must discover for himself. And herein lies the opportunity to show your true selves—to show the ideals, character, scholarship and leadership of your high school days. The time of our acquaintance has been very short but it has been long enough to impress me with your ability in scholarship and lead- ership. May you carry these qualities and ideals with you wherever you may go. My sincerest wishes for the success of all. HELEN M. AGNEW.

SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 TEE EISTCEY CE 193C When in 1926 the old crew of the school ship of Haverford took its final leave, the new comers were entrusted with the craft to keep its colors flying. Although new at the work, preparations were made for a long journey. They elected for captain Jack Wistar, and Erwin Davis served as first mate. Helen Hoffner was made trustee of the log book and Julian White looked after the ship’s wealth. So they set sail, and Jack guided the craft to bring it safely into port after a period of six months. Shore leave was demanded by all, and to celebrate, a picnic was held. When the furlough was terminated, they were instructed to sail the seas for a while in a Junior Ship, splendidly equipped and fitted to meet the battering waves of toil. Its grandeur was fully appreciated, but they were uneasy. After a brief interval the sailors made insurrection under George Byers and regained their beloved craft. Under the new officers, George Byers, James McCurdy, Mildred Davis, and George Rosengarten, the postponed trip was resumed. A calm sea and blue skies made sailing fine, and so an uneventful year passed. To make life on board more interesting, a Prom on shore was planned. It certainly was good to feel their feet on terra firma again and like true sailors each found a girl in port to conduct to the fes- tivity. They danced and drank punch till far into the night when the ship's siren warned them that they had barely enough time to make the boat again before the gang-plank was drawn up. Meanwhile to keep the crew’s spirit up a contest was held. Prizes were to be given to the best orators. While decks were scrubbed and rigging made fast, snatches of Mark Twain or Booth Tarkington could be heard. At last the contest was over and George Rosengarten was pronounced the champion. Thus another year was completed. It was a tired group which presented itself at reveille but all were eager to work, and the great final year was on. Every day was crowded with things to be done for the Senior Ball. The main deck was stripped of its paraphernalia and blue and gold were seen everywhere. The dance was a huge success and enough money was collected to pay most of the year’s expenses. The next thing on the program was a three-day shore leave at Washington. The sailors climbed steps, viewed beauti- ful scenery, and lived like kings. Some of the more daring of the crew kept the servants running, trying to obey their pretended needs. All went fine till funds were needed to continue the voyage. The only possible way to raise such an amount was to give a play. “The Goose Hangs High’’ was selected. The cast proved a good one and after six weeks the production was ready to be given. True to their expectations a fine audience turned out and enough funds were received to carry them through. And now the ship is headed for port. Each sailor sadly gathers his belongings and makes ready to walk down the plank for the last time and to receive his honorable discharge from the admiral of the fleet. Principal J. Frank Carter.

JANUARY, 1930 TWENTY yEARS FCCM NOW It is the thirtieth of January, in the year 1950. The day has dawned clear, warm and balmy. Bathers can be seen at the Everglades Natatorium (originally Brookline Square Club Pool); some basking in the warm rays of old Sol; others under the shade of orange and grape fruit trees. The scene is in Cactus Township (formerly Havcrford Township), which in 1930 was a typical, bustling, northern suburb of Philadelphia, at that time a great manufacturing city, but owing to a change in the course of the Gulf Stream, now a lethargic, tropical region. The hour is 5.45 P. M. and the Royal Poinsettia Hotel (formerly Eagle Hotel), owned and managed by Harry Clowcr, is a scene of great activity and excitement, for the Class of January '30 has selected this place as a rendezvous before leaving for Washington, D. C. Invitations have been sent via A. M. T. C. (American Mental Telepathy Company) by President George Rosengarten to his classmates (according to the agreement made in 1930). The class was due to arrive in Washington at 6.00 P. M. and Erwin Davis, owner of the Dodge Rocket Line, had been engaged to transport them thence in his fifteen million horse power rocket. Tyson Matlack, the ace pilot of the company, had donned his flying togs and was rarin' to go. Madge Fox, designer of woman's attire at Wanabridgc's, and May Pomeroy, a celebrated actress who has been so successful in the role of elderly characters, were waiting in the lobby. A burst of merriment and laughter came from a corner of the lobby where Dorothy Edgerly, Editor of College Humor, was regaling several former classmates with her cver ready supply of wit and humor. Marian Hagy, Principal of Cactus High School, made her appearance, accompanied by Helen Watts, the famous surgeon, who had just left the school after lecturing to the biology classes on Transference of Monkey Glands to Humans. A yelping was then heard as Dorothea Hanna entered and proudly displayed three of her pedigreed bloodhounds that had won blue ribbons at the Lansdale Dog Show. Andrew Sherrard, Commander General at West Point, strode through the lobby, resplen dent and erect in his military uniform, politely ordering the hotel attendants about. James McCurdy could be seen pointing out the beauty of the landscape due to his appoint ment as Inspector of Gacti, Alligator Grass, and Weeds. Mrs. Buddy Rogers, nee Carolyn Freyburger, gave those present a thrill by introducing her famous husband. It was feared that Mildred Davis, coach of the Cactus High Basketball Team, would be unable to make the trip as her team was playing the Tokio High Team in Japan in the afternoon. The party was finally aboard the rocket ready to depart when Elizabeth Kerr arrived and explained that her lateness was due to a broken strap on her jumping belt. She declared that upon returning she intended to discharge the inspector in her jumping belt factory. Then Helen Hoffner, proprietress of the Everglades Motion Picture Theatre (formerly Boulevard Theatre), was sighted in the offing, as usual, the last to arrive. Hugh Spacht was taken aboard at his service station where the rocket secured a supply of nitro'glycerine, the fuel used in the ship. Shortly after leaving, the rocket violated the air traffic laws by making a left turn on a red light, but owing to the presence of Francis Smith, chief of the air traffic police, the ship escaped any penalty. Exactly on schedule the rocket arrived at the White House. The party was welcomed by President Rosengarten and Vice-President Jack Wistar, to the strains of O Havcrford ren dered by the famous W. W. (Wild and Woolley) Band conducted jointly by Julian White and Richard Wiley. Ervin Bower was an imposing figure as the President's boyguard, having been appointed to that position as a result of his early training at C. M. T. C. Senator Jesse Kochel from Reading, who had just come from the Senate where he had advocated a high tariff on pretzels, was to be seen chatting with Miss Adela Romanovsky, French interpreter for the President. During the course of a sumptuous banquet, a toast was proposed to the Class of January '30, but water in place of wine filled each goblet in deference to the presence of Helen Scheehle, who had been appointed to succeed Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, as Assistant Attorney General in charge of Prohibition Enforcement. As the banquet drew to a close President Rosengarten in his wisdom asked the advice of his guests upon difficult and weighty matters of state which were instantly solved and settled by the most brilliant class to be graduated from Haverford High. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT €F TEE CLASS CF JANLALT 3C We, the Class January ’30 of the School of Haverford Township in the County of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this, our last Will and Testament, in manner following, that is to say: First—To our long-suffering faculty we leave memories of our classroom behavior. We also return to them the many well-used books which they so gratefully entrusted to our care. Second—We leave our French and Latin ponies along with physics and chem- istry notebooks to the poor lower classmen—long may they puzzle trying to decipher the many queer little marks jotted down on the paper. To individuals we leave the following: 1. Mildred Davis's football achievements to Emily McKell. Now that you’ve got them, Emily, go to it. 2. Irvin Bower’s power over women to Austin Clark. Do you like the name “Mary,” Austin? 3. Dorothy Edgerly's humorous remarks to Dilys Roberts. 4. Harry Clower's many love affairs to Dick Brunhouse. Try to set a new record, Dick. 5. Madge Fox's extra six or seven inches to Jeannette Marker. Not that you need them, Jeannette. 6. Erwin Davis's “Dodge” to anyone living within walking distance of the school. 7. Carolyn Freyburger's poetical instinct to Jeannette Reynolds. 8. Jesse Kochcl’s farmer accent to Ted Cookenbach. 9. Marian Hagy's extraordinary vocal powers to Mary Oesterle. 10. Tyson Matlack’s bluffing ways to Eddie Mann. You'll get a break some day, Eddie. 11. Dorothea Hanna’s quiet ways to Katherine Lockhart. 12. James McCurdy's ability to keep a straight face under the most trying con- ditions to Bob Owens. 13. Helen Hoffner’s taste for strawberry blondes to Betty Cathcart. Better hurry, Betty. 14. George Rosengarten's popularity with the faculty to Michael McGinn. 15. And to Dottie Deans we would tender E-G Kerr’s roller skates. We are sure that you will find them far more effective than the California diet. Just try it once. 16. Andy Sherrard’s deep masculine voice to James Leeds. 17. May Pomeroy’s ability to chatter and then look innocent to Anna Mandes. 18. Francis Smith's dancing ability to Dominic Di Joseph. No huddles in this game. 19. Adela Romanovsky’s brilliancy to Betty McCready. 20. Hugh Spacht’s many travels to Ethel Glancy. Remember, Ethel, Hugh isn’t slow. 21. Helen Scheehle’s readiness to help in everything and her great knowledge of English to Betty Bergmann. 22. Julian White’s excellent band leadership to Jack DuMars. They’ll need a new leader next year, Jack. 23. Helen Watt’s wonderful taste in clothing to Kathleen Barker. 24. Richard Wiley’s sax playing to A1 Gourdier.

JANUARY, 1930 HAVCCfCCD CLUBS Clubs form a great factor in the life of Haverford. There are about eighteen cLbs in the school, and the meetings of these are held every other Wednesday. Dues in the clubs are optional, according to the majority vote of the members. The club with the largest membership is the Dramatic Ch.b, under che super- vision of Miss Diven, with a total enrollment of ninety-eight. This club presents some very interesting plays and sketches during the year. Sponsored by Miss Bisholf and Miss Woods, the Latin Club has had some very interesting meetings, in which careful study is made of ancient Roman life and literature. The French Club is sponsored by Miss McMahan, Miss Agnew and Miss Reichenbourg. French literature and plays are studied and enacted. The Journalism Club is supervised by Miss Smith and Miss Cope. The complex- ities of newspaper work are studied and experimental projects successfully carried on by the club members. The Charles Dickens Literary Society, of which Mr. Shopp is faculty ad visor, has for its purpose the study of English Literature. A very educational one is the Mathematics Club, under Miss Moore and Mr. Howarth, at the meetings of which the members attempt the solution of various mathe- matical questions. The Aviation Club, directed by Mr. Timlin, is most unique and very worth- while for those interested in flying. The Science Club is divided into two sections: one for those interested in chem- istry and physics, supervised by Mr. Coppedge; and one for those interested in biology and nature, sponsored by Miss Thomas. A group of prospective librarians form a Library Club, under the able tutelage of Miss Diller. The Art and Music Clubs, of Miss Steward and Miss Ferron, respectively, are devoted to those interested in the fine arts. The Business Men’s Club, sponsored by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Dolan, is for those who aspire to be “men of affairs” after leaving high school. The Commercial Club, headed by Miss Rohrer and Miss Hughes, is for com- mercial students. The Home Makers' Club consists of a group of girls interested in cooking and sewing, with Miss Cornog as their leader. Then there is Mrs. Dreisler's Astronomy Club, new this year, which has many interesting meetings dealing with the heavenly bodies. Mr. Livingston’s Puzzle Club speaks for itself. Miss Ranck conducts a very dignified club dealing with International Relations, from whence it derives its name. So these clubs offer opportunities to the student which he otherwise would not gain. They furnish a chance for leadership and the expression of personality which might be lost in the classroom. In this manner Haverford tries to give her students the very best to be had and incidentally develop the very valuable asset of initiative. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S.

CRCI1CS1RA MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS AT UAVERTCRD The musical organizations, under the able leadership of Miss Gertrude Ferron, consist of the Girls' Glee Club, the Orchestra, and the Boys' Glee Club. The Girls’ Glee Club includes one hundred girls. The officers are: President, Frances McGee; Vice-President, Jean MacDonald; Librarian, Helen Palmer; Secretary’, Evelyn Angemann. This year the club has performed, upon request at a P. T. A. meeting, a P. T. A. convention, the Alumni Day program, and a dental exhibition. The orchestra is composed of thirty-six pieces, and for the first time in the school's history, a girl is concertmaster. The orchestra is always well received and is often called upon to entertain at conventions, P. T. A. meetings, women's clubs, and churches. Forty-five boys constitute the Boys' Glee Club, which always presents a delight- ful program such as only a male chorus can present. It is led by one of the students, a fact which makes it even more interesting. The officers are: President, George Rosengarten; Vice-President, Franklin Dunn; and Librarian, Austin Clark. On May 25, 1929, these organizations cooperated in presenting an evening of music. The Girls’ Glee Club rendered Pan on a Summer Night,” a cantata of unusual charm. An appreciative audience encouraged Haverford's musicians, and it is the desire of Miss Ferron that such a program may be given frequently in the future. The proceeds from such entertainments are used to purchase instruments which are loaned to the students for use in the orchestra. Much credit is due Miss Ferron for the excellent way in which she is handling these organizations and for the advancement of music and musicians throughout Haverford Township. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 STUDENT GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS The Student Government Departments which are Traffic, Finance, Social, San' itation and Property, were organized in the early part of the semester and did some good work under the able guidance of their sponsors and their heads. The Traffic Department was under the guidance of Mr. Coppedge, as faculty chief, and Donald Eister, as student head. The duties of this department are to take charge of the lieutenants and marshals, who direct traffic so that all congestion in the halls may be eliminated, and who also supervise the lunchroom and the halls. This department did some excellent work by directing the guests who attended the con- vention of the Southeastern District Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers, which was held at Haverford in November. The Finance Department had a very successful quarter under the authority of Miss Rohrer and the leadership of Charles Weidemann. The duties of this depart- ment are the distribution and sale of tickets, and charge of banking, which is done every Tuesday. In October tickets for the Senior Play were distributed to the home rooms, and a drive was made to enforce more regular banking. The Social Department had as sponsor, Miss Cope, Miss Smith substituting for Miss Cope during her illness. The head of the department was Francis McGee. The chairman has charge of the social hours. The first social hour of the year, a Hallowe'en affair, was held October 30, and was a huge success. The purpose of these social hours is to bring the pupils and the teachers more closely together, and to bring about a spirit of companionship and friendship. The Social Department also gave its services at the Parent-Teachers Association Convention by greeting the guests. The Sanitation Department, of which Mr. Hughes was sponsor, and Erwin Davis, head, worked hard in striving to make the school a neater and cleaner place, and succeeded very well in this. The duties of this department are the inspection of the lunchroom, the locker rooms, the girls' and boys' washrooms, and the home rooms. Because of the efforts of this department there has been a marked improvement in the lunchroom, and dishes are no longer left around on the tables. The head of the Property Committee was Charles Miller, and the sponsor was Mr. Howarth. This department has charge of the care of books and of lost articles. The lost articles are placed in the treasure chest, and in addition to this, every Mon- day a list of the articles in the chest is placed on the bulletin board at each entrance. Meetings of the departments are held every other Wednesday during activity period to discuss the various duties of each department. The head of each department is a member of the Student Council. SENIOR RECORD JANUARY, 1930 H. T. H. S. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Government for the years 1928-1929 has drawn the curtains on one of its most successful years. We, the class of January, in order to carry on the fine administrations of student governments that have preceded us, have tried our utmost in every respect to maintain and even surpass the standards of our predecessors. Our student gov- ernment may be favorably compared, in a small way, to our state and even our national governments. Not unlike our larger governing bodies, we, too, maintain executive, judicial, and legislative departments. This body is looked upon, not as a group of policemen, but as an advisory board, trying to keep an even tenor of happiness and tranquillity throughout our academic years in this institution. Once again we do not hesitate to say that our school could well be used as a criterion by other schools throughout the country. We do not claim, however, to have reached a state of Utopia, but we do maintain that we have done our best. Who could do more? George Rosengarten, presiding officer of the student government this year, has ably handled its affairs. Acting as his vice-president we find Charles Weidemann filling the part as under- study for President Rosengarten so that he may aptly fill the vacancy left by January graduation. As our secretary we find Mildred Davis ever willing to handle any task assigned to her. Betty Cathcart, assistant secretary, will take her place upon graduation. This group has tried to keep the scholastic machinery running smoothly and we feel that their efforts as engineers have not been futile. We extend to the June class of 1930 our wishes for its continued success. SENIOR RECORD JANUARY, 1950 H. T. H. S. N4TICN4L HCNCE SOCIETY By far the greatest honor which can be conferred upon a student at Haverford, is election to the local chapter of the National Honor Society. The organization was introduced to our school through the influence of Mr. Carter, who worked hard to establish this society whose span is nation-wide among secondary schools. The Honor Society holds, as a torch and as the keystone of real manhood and womanhood, four cardinal principles: Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Serv- ice. Those, in the junior and senior classes, who live up to these standards are allowed to wear the key. The elections are limited to fifteen percent of the class. The society is sponsored by Miss Ruth Bishoff, while the officers are: George Rosengarten, president; Austin Clark, vice-president, and Helen Palmer, secretary. At present there are 16 under-graduate members and a large group of alumni banded together by the high standards of the society. Linking these two groups more strongly, is the annual banquet held just before Christmas, where faculty, alumni and under- graduate members of the society join with friendly cheer. It is the desire of the class of '30 that the National Honor Society may always remain an ideal to be held aloft and coveted by Haverford Students. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY There is at Haverford another scholarship organization which is devoted solely to athletics. It has long been a problem to successfully combine good scholarship with athletics. However, w'e do find this solution in the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society, which demands, of its nation-wide membership, a major letter in one of the school's sports and an average equal to or above the median of the school for three successive semesters. It is also necessary, in order to obtain nomination, that the principal shall commend the student for his character and good sportsmanship. This society has done wonders at Haverford toward the production of fine athletes, athletes who are high in mental and moral attributes as well as physical. A student who can qualify for these requirements is indeed worthy of some acknowl- edgment. The key of this organization is a fitting reward for those who succeed in making the grade. At present the members of the club are:—Ben Robertshaw, Andrew Sherrard, Charles Weidemann, Austin Clark, John Hurley, Ned Hawksett, Howard Hoffman, Erwin Davis, Harold Aigeldinger, George Muller, Edw'ard Kirchner, Joseph Wagner and Dick Brunhouse. A club of this calibre is bound to set an excellent record for Haverford in ath- letics. May the club ever be recognized as one of the finest at Haverford! SENIOR RECORD H T H. S. JANUARY. 1950 “IU eiCIE EANCS HI6HM When Miss I ivcn selected Lewis Beach's play, The Goose Hangs High,' for the senior class presentation, she was doubtful about getting a cast of thirteen from a class of twenty-five Nearly every member of the class tried out and the cast which was chosen could not have been improved upon. Bradley and Lois Ingals, the irrepressible twins coming home from college, as Cayed by Harry Clower and Mildred Davis, caused their self-sacrificing parents, ard and Eunice Ingals, taken by George Rosengartcn and Marian Hagy, much anxiety by their thoughtlessness. The part of Hugh Ingals, the older brother, was taken by Francis Smith, and Dagmar Carrol, Hugh's fiancee, was enacted by Helen Scheehle. May Pomeroy proved her ability as an actress by playing to perfection the diffi- cult character of Granny who was repeatedly shocked by the younger generation. Helen Watts made an excellent Aunt Julia and Julian White was her discon tented son, Ronald. The rest of the cast included Hugh Spacht as Noel Derby, an old family fnend; Dorothea Hanna as Rhoda, the old servant; Erwin Davis as the politician, Kimberly; and James McCurdy, who brought down the house, as the over dressed, over ambitious politician, Leo Day. Not to be forgotten was Dazslcr, taken by Jiggs, the canine friend of Donald Thompson, June class of '50. This was a difficult play for a cast which, for the most part, was behind the footlights for the first time. The play held a lesson for each person in the audience, as well as an evening of good entertainment. The entire January class of '30 extends its sincere thanks to Miss Harriet Divcn, Who worked wholeheartedly on this, her first production at Havcrford High School, and to all those who supported in any way The Goose Hangs High SENIOR RECORD H. T. H S. JANUARY, 1930 Thf cccr STifF After much controversy- as to whether or not we should have a Year Book “on our own, the work on the hook began December, 1929. The faculty had a hard time deciding upon the staff, but finally selected Helen Scheehle, as Editor-in-chief. For Assistant Editors Adela Romanovsky and Helen Heffner were chosen. In addi- tion to these, arc the Associate Editors: Marian Hagy. Dorothea Hanna. Mildred Davis, Madge Fox, Elizabeth Kerr, Julian White, and Helen Watts. The business end of the project was taken care of by George Roscngarten, Richard Wiley, Francis Smith and May Pomeroy. The staff also wishes to thank Carolyn Freyhurger, Dorothy Edgerly, Jack Wistar and Erwin Davis for their hard work toward the success of our Record Book, and those typists of the June class, Carolyn Eldridge and Mary Oestcrle. Many a light burned far into the night, many a tired hand pursued the hazy lines across the paper—all to make this book come out on top! However, we owe much to the competent guidance of Miss Cope and Miss Smith whose work is very much appreciated by the entire staff In the days of tomorrow, when, in a reminiscent mood you pick up this volume, and ponder wistfully your High School days, please remember and appreciate the conscientious efforts of the staff of the Year Book of the Class of January '30. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 THE fcy-ur’CH iPitc ©e ©ire reserves This year has been an active one for the Girl Reserves. At the first meeting Mildred Davis was elected to the chair and work was begun immediately for the year. The entire group was divided into committees and the rest of the officers, Jean MacDonald, Dorothy Ely, and Lydia Hawksley, preside over them. There is a group of small Indian boys and girls who go to a western reserve school, but are too far distant from their homes to return during the Christmas holi- days. To provide presents for these children has always been the duty of the Girl Reserve units, and this year the Haverford Chapter took a great part in the work. The Children’s ward of the Bryn Mawr Hospital has also been ably taken care of, and many a small heart was gladdened with the novelties that the girls brought. The Girl Reserve movement is not a plan; it is an idea. It is not a set way of doing things, neither is it a tool; it is an understanding. This understanding has grown out of the experience of younger girls who have responded to encouragement, to initiate and create, in other words, to think for them- selves, to direct themselves, to express themselves, and to make for themselves. The Girl Reserve movement is a way of living which is effective in its appeal. It brings to girls an understanding and appreciation not only of themselves but of others, and of God as creator and director of their world. Freedom, interest, tolerance, faith, health, are some of the precious things girls have in common in their striving to live in the way of Him who came as a child among men, and who grew in wisdom and stature in a very human way, until he stood in favor with God and Man. Through discussing the “why” in choosing certain things to think and do, through direct work and play, Girl Reserves learn to find and give their best and make Christ real in the world in which they live. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1950 THE Hl-y CUJE The Hi-Y Club was started at Haverford High School in 1926 through the com' bined efforts of Mr. Peake of the Young Men’s Christian Association of Philadelphia and our principal, Mr. Carter. The name of this club is explained by the Hi, standing for High School, and the Y standing for Y. M. C. A. The purpose is to create, extend and maintain through- out the school and community a high standard of moral character and good fellow- ship. A president is elected from the Senior class and the vice-president, secretary and treasurer are elected from the junior section and lower classmen. Five sponsors are chosen by the members from the men teachers on the faculty. The sponsors at this writing are Mr. Carter, Mr. Cornog, Mr. Howarth, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Livingston. The officers this year are: President, Andrew Sherrard; vice-president, Ben. Robert - shaw; secretary, Franklin Dunn; treasurer, Charles Weidemann. The club has a quota of thirty-six. The prospective members are voted upon at a business meeting, one of which is held once a week and oftener if necessary. Social activities consist of a dinner which takes place every third Thursday evening at six o’clock. Mr. Saunders, our Y. M. C. A. representative, secures a good speaker who talks on a subject which is both instructive and interesting to boys. Those accepted are initiated into the club with a beautiful and solemn ceremony, including a binding oath which the candidate declares. During the years of its existence, the Haverford Chap- ter of the Hi-Y has grown, in body and in standards. It is the mother chapter of several newly formed Hi-Y clubs. The club receives cordial respect from the students and various organizations of the school, and it co-operates by ushering and helping in numerous other ways at the functions of the school. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 TEE RETCET Since the fall of 1924, the Retort has gradually been growing in perfection and popularity. This year during a crisis as to whether the Retort should remain at Haver- ford or not, the students rallied enthusiastically and promised their support. The Retort is issued once a week and relates the news of the past week besides future announcements. The paper also has an Editorial page and a Sport page, both of which are very attractive. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Cope, Miss Smith and Miss Hughes, the Retort has weathered many storms and has not only obtained a safe harbor, but has made known its presence on the sea of school papers Ever since the Retort came into existence there have been hard working staffs and efficient editors to direct them. The majority of the 1929 staff belongs to the senior class which graduates in January. These seniors are as follows: Editor-in-chief, George Rosengarten; News Editor, Helen Scheehle; Headline Editor, Helen Watts; Proofreader, Marian Hagy; Assistant Proofreader, Elizabeth Kerr; Exchange Editor, Helen Hoffner; reporters, Dorothy Edgerly and Dorothea Hanna. It is sincerely hoped by these seniors of the staff who graduate in January that the Retort will continue in its good work and will be even more successful. The camaraderie which exists among staff and sponsors in the Retort office is not to be exceeded in any other organization of the school. As Haverford’s official organ, the Retort holds a place of high respect not only in the school but in the surrounding community. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S.

T. H. S. JANUARY, 19 JO BCYS SPCCTS Though the basketball season of 1929 was not as successful as some years, the team made a good showing. Joe Sample, the capable captain, will be missed. Bob Hill, despite his small size proved a Trojan in outstanding ability. The honor of the school was upheld by a good, fighting team. Much credit is due Mr. Cornog, coach, and William Halloway, manager, for the success of the team. Haverford’s Swimming Team opened its season with West Catholic as its oppo- nent and, though defeated 47 to 15, the showing made was considered commendable. Led by Captain Jack Wistar and coached by Mr. Howarth, the team defeated Lower Merion and Radnor, victories which proved the calibre of the team. Wistar and Franklin Dunn won first place medals in the Philadelphia Interscholastic Meet. Under the competent leadership of Mr. Cornog, the baseball team of 1929 can boast of a very successful season. In spite of the loss by graduation of many of the lettermen, the team had no trouble defeating most of their local rivals. Captain Burns was the outstanding player of the season. His batting was timely and his work in the outfield was brilliant at all times. Wonderful work was done by Hurley, Quinlan, and Byers, who composed the pitching staff. Mr. Cornog is to be congratulated for his fine handling of the team. Our Golf Team was successful in winning the Suburban Championship, thereby bringing great honor to the school. They were victorious in every match. Though golf is a minor sport, the team’s fine record should prove an inspiration to teams of the future. The Track Team, coached by Mr. Entwistle, enjoyed one of the best seasons in the history of the school. Elton Albeck, captain of the team, was a tower of strength and personally accounted for many of the points scored. His loss will no doubt be felt in the coming season. Harry Springer, captain-elect for 1930, was also a shining performer and served heavily. The encouragement and support of our coach, Mr. Cornog, and also of Mr. Carter, together with the cooperation of the student body, was in great measure responsible for the success of the team in football. The squad, led by Ben Robertshaw, played clean, hard football. Max Forrest, the star fullback, was responsible for much of the yardage gained, and the fine work of Quinlan, Myers, Wistar, Sherrard and Horton helped greatly. The line was made up of fellows who never say die, and when they decided to hold, they held. Wagner, Di Joseph, Hoffman, Sprineer, Hurley. Gourdier, Robertshaw and Kirshner made a strong line. George Allan deserves mention, although he was unable to play after an injury suffered early in the season. Great credit is due Allison Cornog whose counsel to the fellows “between the halves” put fight into the team. Differ Worst is to be thanked also for his work as assistant coach. Congratulations are to be extended to Austin Clark for his management of the team and also to the assistant managers who were so handy with the water bucket. The opening game of the season with Radnor was the best on the schedule. The boys were inspired, and after a hard fought battle came through with a 2 to 0 victory. It was a great game to start the season. The season ended with a gathering of the squad, at the Llanerch Methodist Episcopal Church, on Sunday evening, December 1st. Dr. Straw, the pastor, gave a talk that the boys will long remember. The members of the January class of 1930 extend thanks to Mr. Cornog for his splendid coaching and wish success to the teams of 1930. SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 GIRLS’ SPCCTS Championship Teams are a common occurrence among girls' sports in Haverford, but when we do not have them, there is always a plausible reason. Yet whether or not they win all their games, they give us their best and should be credited accordingly. The basketball season of '28 and '29 was exceptionally fine, for our girls did not lose a game. They won the mythical Delco Championship and also succeeded in defeating the Freeland High School girls who are the champions of the Coal Regions. The team had a very fine leader in Helen Fairbanks and she was ably supported by many outstanding stars. These stars consisted of Jean Shiley, Ruth French and Betty Cathcart, with Helen Mowbray as their efficient manager. The track team, captained by Edith Weisgcrber, also showed up in its true light. The girls captured the Suburban Championship which they really deserved. A mar- velous relay team was composed of Helen Fairbanks, Frances McGee, Eleanor Amm- lung and Captain Edith Weisgerber. The outstanding stars of the track team were Jean Shiley, in whom we took much pride because of her Olympic successes, and Helen Fairbanks, who will be remembered for her fast running. Louise Anderson managed the team very well. Maude Hughes showed fine qualities as captain of the swimming team, for she scored the most points of the season. Although they were not as fortunate as the other teams, they showed fine spirit and lost the Suburban Championship by but one point. Muriel Boyce and Ardis Bowen were the best divers, and although Ardis finally won first place in that event, Muriel was close behind her. Mary Truitt was the fastest swimmer on the team and much more is expected of her in the future. Unfortunately for the hockey team they did not show up as well as expected, but the girls did well although they probably did not exert their full talent, but we expect much of next year’s team. Lydia Hawksley was a splendid captain and was aided by the fine managing of Jean MacDonald. Edna MacGregor, Evelyn Ange- mann and Jeannette Marker were the prominent players. The spirit of the teams was of the very best and the school is proud of having such a fine display of sportsmanship. Perhaps, the years following will be even better than this year, but it will be a very superior group of girls who will accomplish this. We mention here outstanding names of coming and present stars whom we have not referred to before. On the basketball squad last year were such good players as: Eleanor Ammlung, Evelyn Angemann and Edna MacGregor. The track team was also proud of having among its number Edna MacGregor, Mildred Davis, Lillian Baskin, Lydia Hawksley, Ruth French and Gladys Gcttz. The hockey team boasted such fine players as Eleanor Ammlung, Gladys Watson, Marcia Wintersmith, Marion Coward. GIRLS’ uccrcy ’29 SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 19J0 THE E4NE This year was eventful in that it marked the first time that Haverford has had an organized band under the direction of one of the faculty, Mr. Walter. Aside from playing at all the football games, the band played three successive nights at a benefit at the Boulevard Thea- tre in Brookline, and at the Sunday night service at the Llanerch Methodist Episcopal Church, December 1st. Grover McGee has our thanks for the efficient way in which he handled financial matters and also led the band. His efforts from a business standpoint have been of wonderful assistance. Hazel Watson’s splendid work in fitting the white satin capes to the band's needs is much appreciated. What would our band have looked like without them? The class of January 1930 wishes to congratulate the band on its splendid showing this first year, and hopes, as the years go by, that “bigger and better” will be its watchword. CHEEK LEADERS The cheer leaders are another organization to show marked improvement this year. Under the able leadership of Mr. Walter, who drilled them in new yells and their execution, the boys went through the season producing the loudest cheers with the most enthusiasm. This group of jumping jacks is the loud-speaker for the spirit of the school. They are to the student body as the coach is to the team. This year’s chief yell producer and arouser of enthusiasm is Dick Dillinger. Dick’s motto was “louder than ever before.” From the grandstands it appears easy to lead the cheers, but to get out there and do it is another matter. We wish to congratulate these boys, and hope that they will continue to give the support they have given thus far this year. I Compliments of Compliments of EDGAR I. DILLER BOULEVARD THEATRE D.D.S.
