SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. 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.

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. Don't give it up, Al, we know you have talent. 25. Jack Wistar’s sheiky clothes to Max Forrest. And to the rest of the school we leave the remembrance that we were the “Cream of the Crop.” IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we affix our hand and seal this twenty-fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty.

And now that we have finished and arc leaving. We all hope that we have passed the test. (Chorus) Our memories of Haverford High School. Will ever stand high in our minds. With knowledge gradually growing. With no ill winds blowing. We have found joys of many kinds, Though to friends we're saying good-bye. We hope that you'll never forget That we think the friends we've made in Haverford Are the best that wc ever have met. OIASS POIM Our high school joys at last have ended. And now we say adieu. We leave, with fondest memories— For friends have proven true. We have new worlds to conquer now, As on our way we go. But all our pathways separate. As many streams that flow. Dear classmates, linger for a while, Sparc me a word in parting. Have not these years brought joy to you? Ah! Now your tears are starting. Think of all the things you've shared. Many joys and many sorrows. But now henceforth your skies are blue. Ever welcome your tomorrows. CAROLYN FREYBURCER. CAROLYN FREYBURCER.
