lass Rumi The Battle nf life We have been for a time within this hall, And now it is time to departg For one and all we must answer the call Of the world though it means we must part. Go forth with your hearts free from any guile, A song on your lips, brave and trueg Greet each new morn with a bright, cheery smile Do the work that you have to do. Maintain trust and faith in the darkest nightg Be noble and strong in each strifeg Look up to heaven for courage and might, And thus win the battle of life, QBur Mutual .frienh Four 390 discipline is worth While unless it is selffimposed. The discipline from the outside is another name for force. That spirit alone is free that can control itself. The Good Book says, He who conquereth himself is greater than he who tak' eth a city. That is not only good Scripture: it is a good rule for living. BEULAH A. FENIMORE. i 41 Five Ghz Qlricket un the ibearth N old saint, says a wellfknown story, asked an eager college graduate what he now intended to do. 'iOh, was the quick reply, I shall get my Doctor's Degree now. And then?'l asked the saint. Then I shall do research work and find out things that no one else has ever known. at si And then? the saint repeated, Then, answered the youth, I shall be rich and famous. And then? came again the question, And then I shall rest and enjoy my fame and riches. Once more was repeated the question, L'And then?l' More slowly came the answer. Then4well, then I suppose I shall die. Softly spoke the old saint. And then? And the young man hung his head. For the only way to face the challenge of that question to the very end is to build the house of the spirit that is made neither with hands nor even with brainsg lor that house is enduring character. u 4...

Pickwick was seated before a table on which were books and papers innumerable. He seemed to be searching for something, for a slight pucker clouded his usually placid brow as he carefully scrutinized a manuscript only to lay it aside and search for another. At last he took a ponderous notebook from the goodly pile and turned a beaming countenance to his aforesaid companions. Mr. Jingle, who had been dozing in his armchair, became suddenly alert, Mr. Weller attempted to do likewise. Their attention was very gratifying. My friends, said Mr. Pickwick benevolently, this is the very thing I have been looking for. As you are aware, I made notations of my various exploits and peregrinations before I came to reside here at Dulwich, and I regard this as my most interesting compilation. I should enjoy reading it to you if you would permit me. 'LMost certainly-sure to be excellent-travel's quite the rage, assented Mr. Jingle in his quick disjointed way. l'Vith pleasure, sir, said Mr. Weller. It is werry seldom wen I gets to hear such things. Mr. Pickwick thanked them benignly, and adjusting his spectacles, he proceeded to read: ral 1940 january: Was one of an icefskating party which included Emily Mastrangelo, owner of a famous shoe store, Jeannette Mellor, noted dressrnaker and decreer of fashions, and Stephanie Czaplicha, a rising songster. Enjoyed an exhibition of ice dancing given by two wellfknown performers, Elizabeth Crossett and Jean Kessler. February: Dr. Katherine Owens, distinguished writer, Jennie Levin, a college dean, Henrietta Landau, holder of the world's shorthand championship, and I were present at the opening performance at the theatre. The pantomime, a collection of old fairy tales, was admirably performed. Mary Nazarethian as Snow White, Sarah Farber as Jack the Giant Killer, and Margaret Noe as the tinyffooted Cin' derella were among the foremost actresses. The stage setting was created by the famous painter, Muriel Hughes. March: Called upon an old friend, Madame Mantalini, who conducted a dress shop. She presented bo me the women who had helped establish the reputation of her shop-Dorothy Vogt, expert designer of gowns, Helen Heinkel, who executed the hand painting on them, and the extraordinarily efficient mannikins-Sylvia Zaslow, lwlinnie Snyderman, Betty Cutler, and Rose Sustan. April: Attended a dinner given by Betsey Trotwood, at which many prominent persons were present. The entertainment was provided by the famed soprano, Marie Mealey, accompanied by the brilliant musician, Emma Rhodes. After a few selections Gloria Yarosh, exceedingly witty master of ceremonies, presented Dr. Eleanor Hodgkiss, representing the Progressive Women's Union. Dr. Hodgkiss Thirty-two Kensington High School made an impassioned plea for the support and advancement of women. Her devoted and faithful follower, Mary Cunningham, also spoke a few words. A light vein of humor was introduced by those inimitable jokesters, Birdie Kubel and Idah Sagel. May: Heard a most interesting debate at Slumkey Hall. The affirmative side was well argued by the town's great orators, Bernice Ferguson and Katherine Ferguson. Ethel Mantz and Dorothy Lessing carried the negative side with equal conviction. The judges were Kathryn Schmidt, prominent lawyer, Mary Vardaro, renowned doctor, and Bertha Doi-tort, editor of the Futuristic Gazette. june: Went to a charity fete given by the Women's Civic Club, whose president was Carolyn Heinzer. A midget team composed of Jeannette Radle, Rose Lucas, Ida Zalkin, and Anna Rodis circled among the people, directing passage to the various booths. The music booth was occupied by Williabell Harris, prima donna, and Marion Greenwood, talented accompanist. Marie Ricker, celebrated imitator, drew a large crowd, A charming team-Thelma Day, Elizabeth Korb, and Elizabeth Fuhrman-presided at the sweets booth. Iuly: A picnic proved a delightful diversion. Made the acquaintance of Lena Goldsteen, inventor of a tonic guaranteed to make one gain weight, and a traveling troupe of professional merrymakers-Helen Davis, Ruth Appleton, and Helen Abel . August: Stayed over night at The Sign of the Purple Cow. Ethel Wilkinson, designer of jewelry, Araminta Gillman, promoter of garden culture, and Anna Seidler, eminent critic, were among those present. September: Was invited to Dothegirls Hall, now under new management. Anna Chirlonis, principal, introduced me to Gertrude Bauer, her secretary, Reba Carter, professor of mathematics, and Adeline Schmidt, Gertrude Boyle, Fay Fargo, and Yetta Kushner, teachers. October: Visited Miss Moucher, who has set up a spacious hairdressing establishment. Made the acquaintance of her able assistants-Anna Karmazen and Elizabeth Katz, renowned for their beautiful coiffures, Shirley Witman, noted beauty special' ist, Eleanore Heim, illustrious business woman, and Dorothy Keen, manicurist. flncidentally, Miss Moucher has the prince's toe nails exhibited in a glass case as a relic of former daysj November: W'ent on a straw ride which proved great fun. Beatrice Kampf and Josephine Davis provided most of the gaiety at the expense of Ebna Ellis, whom they twitted about the matter of her blushing. Hazel Ginader and Beatrice Bunin, gifted actresses, gave a series of very amusing charades. Tbirtyftbree The Chimes - 1930 December: Spent a delightful Christmas Eve at Dingley Dell. The athletic women joined in a strenuous rubber of whist, Kathryne Cowan and Mary Kozole matching wits against Dorothy Rennie and Agnes Heinrich. This was followed by a quadrille, led by Evelyn Grimshaw and Margaret Flynn. The company danced to the tuneful accompaniment of two fiddles played by Rose Balush and Margaret Strang. As he finished Mr. Pickwick turned to his friends. To his intense surprise they were both fast asleep. He frowned a little, and then, for he could not remain angry long, a smile spread over his jolly face. He leaned back in his chair, and in a few minutes his head had sunk on his breast, and he too was asleep. Qlllass iBre5il1ent's message Dear Classmates: We have come to the time when we must leave the school which has been a haven during the past four years. Sorrow and gladness have mingled with our relationships, both social and scholastic. During this time, Miss Fenimore and the Facf ulty have striven to prepare us for the ordeals which await us in the outside world. May this parting of the ways be but temporaryg may we again meet as a class to revisit the school which has built the foundation for our future lives. CAROLYN M. HEINZER. Thirtyffour Kensington High School STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION HE Students' Association has a great aim-one of high ideals. It represents the true spirit of Kensington High School.

'lllllllllllllllllllll ,umm 1 ummuaieiaaiaux washington N OCTCBER 24 a party of fortyffive girls, accompanied by Miss Eewsmith, Miss Evans, and Mr. Besselievre, a representative of the Pennsylvania Railroad, left Broad Street Station for Washington. QThere should have been fortyfseven, but as usual two girls missed the trainj A Upon our arrival in Washington, we had luncheon at the Terminal Restaurant. Sightseeing automobiles then took us to the Capitol where we came upon our belated classmates. A tour of the city followed. When we reached the Arlington Cemetery, our class president and Students' Association president placed a wreath of flowers on the grave of the unknown soldier. After seeing the Lincoln Memorial we went back to the Hamilton Hotel for dinner. A few hurried postcards were written to those left behind before we left for the Congressional Library that evening. After being counted in and counted out again, we proceeded back to the hotel. Then we were allowed to visit each other until twelve o'clock when a 'Lpipe down from Miss Evans called for silence. The next morning after breakfast we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Washington Monument, and the Aircraft Building. After lunch we left on the electric car for Mount Vernon. The first thing we did upon arriving was to have our picture taken. Then all the girls possesssing cameras seized a moment to crowd around like reporters and take snapshots of the chaperones. There were so many things to be seen here that it seemed but a second when the whistle blew for our return to the hotel by steamer. Dinner was served almost immediately, and then haste was made to don our best clothes for the party which we were to have. Needless to say, everyone had a good timeg for besides the dancing, several of our talented members performed. The next morning more than one telephone rang for almost five minutes before we sleepily opened our eyes upon our last morning in Washington. In the afternoon we boarded the train for home, and it was declared to have been a wonderful trip-even though we did not see the President. Thirtyfeiglw Uftno ities , is E E E , Bhilahelpbia HE Senior Prom was held on Friday evening, November 22, at the Melrose Country Club. Although an invitation was extended to the entire faculty, only Miss Fenimore, Miss Fewsmith and Miss Carvin attended. Several Alumnae also numbered among those present. Automobiles bringing the girls and their escorts began to arrive at a little after nine o'clock until a seemingly endless procession had come. Surely Keats would have refechoed A thing of beauty is a joy forever had he seen the lovely young ladies, fluttering about like so many butterflies in their gowns of every color and hue. The prevailing mode of princess lines and long skirts appeared to be most popular with them. Their escorts, correctly attired, were equally as handsome. The young people danced to the delightful strains of Bert Mansfield's wellfknown orchestra. Lounging chairs were ranged around the room for those who did not desire to dance. Promptly at twelve o'clock the music ceased, and this longfanticipated event had come to an end.

Ah! But was it an ordinary meeting? Assuredly not, for it was called to speak on a matter of utmost importance, namely, the history of the Class of February, 1930. The following are the speeches which were made by Mr. Pickwick and his three friends, each giving that phase which interested him most, Mr. Pickwick, politics, Mr. Snodf grass, literature, Mr. Tupman, dramaticsg and Mr. Winkle, athletics. Samuel Pickwick orates: As in the case of every newly formed group, the election of its oiiicers played an important part. For the first term their choice of senators was truly commendable for it was composed of Margaret Noe and Cecelia Frisch, two estimable members of their class. In 9B the work of their class advanced under the able leadership of Eleanore Heim and Eleanor Hodgkiss. In IOA two most efficient members, Dorothy Lessing and Eleanor Hodgkiss, guided them through the tempestuous waters which all lower classmen must needs face. Ellen Brown and Eleanor Hodgkiss forged new links in the chain of their career as the IOB term arrived. They were superseded in 11A by jean Kessler and Ethel Mantz. In 11B Carolyn Heinzer and Ethel Mantz helped them to keep their pink rosy. Then came the Senior year, ushered in by these same girls, who were chosen to rule from this lofty height, To round up a perfect four years, they displayed excellent judgment in choosing Ethel Mantz and Muriel Hughes as a last addition to their list of senators. When the Senior year necessitated their selecting class officers, they proved that they were not lacking in wisdom. They could not err in electing Carolyn Heinzer for president, Kathryn Schmidt, vicefpresif dent, Dorothy Lessing, secretary, and Gloria Yarosh, treasurer. It is with conf fidence that they depart, knowing that no better leaders could have been chosen anywhere. Then, perhaps the greatest mention goes to Eleanor Hodgkiss. She started to Forty Kensington High School climb the ladder of political success as treasurer of the Students' Association. Secretaryship and vicefpresidency quickly followed. Finally she reached the summit as president of the Students' Association, the greatest position to which one can aspire. To each of these leaders who have won the political honors for their school and their class, they give honor and glory. Augustus Snodgrass narrates: Now we turn to the literary side of their class, The fortnightly paper of their school is edited by Bertha Dortort, a promising writer. They feel that it is directly due to her remarkable ability that the increase in sales has become apparent. In connection with the editing work, they must tell of Katherine Owens. As their Editor of the RECORD BOOK, she is unsurpassed, and they of the class appre- ciate her more than worthy efforts. Tracy Tupman sighs: As the years progress, they leave behind them the memory of Stunt Night. Perf haps it was the genius of their writers or the excellent material which they had to draw from that made them so successful. However, it is enough to say that as Freshmen they won the second place: as Sophomores, honorable mention, as Juniors, second place: and as Seniors, second place. The Dramatic Club is another field which has 'become more fruitful through the aid of their girls. Beatrice Bunin, Sarah Farber, and Mary Nazarethian are the actresses who have taken part in the various plays. They truly shine, for on November 15th, they helped to win the cup for their school at the Interscholastic meet. Confident that they will play their life roles equally as well, I will leave them to their Land of Pretend and go to our more practical friend, Mr. Winkle. Nathaniel Winkle declares: Some of their worthy classmates are interested in athletics, and to them they look to win athletic laurels for the class. Kathryne Cowan, Dorothy Rennie, Mar' garet Strang, Gloria Yarosh, Beatrice Bunin, Sarah Farber, and Mary Nazaref thian rank foremost in work of this sort. They envy them for their grace and ease of motion and try to follow their example as best they can. The Senior class team acquitted itself well in the volleyball field, winning seven games out of seven. It is a source of pleasure to those who are interested in the Sportsman to know that such athletic prowess really exists in their own group. f X00 of no vm ' On tvagiff f-J QN N Dx fu X0 Q, We - Y lhss EFIQ Mf2O l, !

Though they are oflicially listed among extrafcurricular activities, many of us feel that they contribute no little share of the value of our high school course. Whole' some, worthfwhile activities occupy the members of the clubs after school hours, many of these activities contributing to the happiness and welfare of others as well as to the pleasure and profit of the members. We wish each of these clubs could step forward in the person of one of its members and tell us of the interesting work and play with which it is engaged--the musical programs prepared, the plays rehearsed and produced, the birds and flowers studied, the hotfdogs roasted and eaten and the marshmallows toasted, the games won gand lost, the Christmas stockings Blled, the sketching trips enjoyed, the posters posted, the swimming indulged in and the lives saved in contests, the day nurseries visited and the Christmas carols sung. But since this is impossible, we shall have to be content to let them silently speak in these pictures of their loyalty each to her club.
