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 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, 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.
