Vo 1. SIX The JUNE 1935 Here floats a light all built of thought.” LEGEND of The LAHIAN ISLES By NELLE KELLY ■ Among the strange tales which have baffled the wisdom of Science for centuries, the story of the Lahian Isles remains shrouded in mystery. From neighboring coasts these islands are visible only twice a year — in June and in September — and it is said they cast a singular enchantment over the children of fishermen who live nearby on the downs of Lans. These curious children often explore the uncharted seas beyond the horizon where lie the Lahian Isles; and as they approach the islands, they can see that there are three of them lying close together and that the outlines of the most distant seem to recede into the clouds. At the entrance to the harbor of this strange port o' call there are massive portals inscribed in curious characters with the words, To Teach the Art of Living Well; and whoever passss under these portals is consumed with a burning desire for knowledge. To all skeptics, however, the harbor is a closed book. As they approach the isles, the enigmatical shores fade from view, leaving only the ghostly gleam of a lightship's blinkers and the washing of waves on invisible sands. These miniature continents are the abode of all that is young and eager — they are the home of imagination and poetry and the realm of Moby Dick. The inhabitants live in a world of contemplation; they dream away their time in cool, secluded grottoes, forgetful of mortal cares. Indeed, they are said to be immortal, but this is true only as long as they remain on the enchanted isles; for once they leave this port, unless they come in quest of more learning, they can in nowise enter again. There live also in these cool slate-lined caverns, a group of magi, Harbor Pilots, as they are called — those who have long followed after Truth, and who seek to lead others less fortunate. They have youthful followings to whom they impart their particular philosophy of Wisdom, for it is believed that thus a broader experience in learning is gained. Nor are the magi alone in this task. They are assisted by the Gov ernors of the Isles, the Port Captain, and the Chief Pilot who have ordained that the Por be closed to those who do not come in earnest pursuit of Knowledge and continue in the paths thereof. ■ As a new group of adventurous Landlubbers immigrates to the Lahian Isles each September, there departs also a group who have found to their satisfaction that which drew them thence. This group which emigrates each June is called Master Mariners because it has passed through the different stages of apprenticeship that are required by the laws of the islands. They are then licensed in steam to build their own craft and to navigate in their own guidance. 13 After four years, if they hold a Passport with a proper Vise, they are free to leave the islands, and to recount tales of wonderful adventures to spellbound fishermen. What strange happenings take place in these chalk-marked grottoes, - only one who has known them as intimately as these youths, can tell. But those who have been under the spell of the magi say that here indeed, is the land of opportunity. ■ Once the portals are closed behind them, drawn as if by the siren songs of Neptune's many mermaids, they are compelled by some powerful force to search for the secret of what lies beyond; but this is denied them until they have mastered certain prescribed requirements of Freshwater apprentices in sail. Here, almost under the very gates which they have so longed to enter (for indeed, this island, which was once a part of ihe adjoining one, is now cut off by a narrow channel of water, and stands aloof from the others like a small dot in the ocean), they must find a means of crossing to the next shore. This island, which seems within a furlong's distance from the gates, withdraws if they approach by swimming; then it is that they learn what the purpose of their being held here is -— each must build his own raft for the crossing. This is the first test of the immigrants' Fortitude. ■ Those successful youths who cross the channel find themselves on a larger island, called by the quaint name of Ess , because of its curving shores and the strange swishing of the channel waters as they beat against the shore. Since they have passed their first test, the Landlubbers take the name of Shanghaied Sophomores, because they are no longer attracted by the novelty of life on Lahian Isles, therefore, they are pressed into service.- The island of S — as it is oft abbreviated — is beautiful with verdant herbs and riotous colors, and many are the temptations to remain forever to revel with queer creatures who live on a strange diet of red ink and are known as F's. But the next island with its lofty rock cliffs remind the merrymakers of their mission. No frail craft can make this crossing, for it is dangerous with shitting tides and coral reefs, where the wrecks of past attempts lie shattered. The Sophomores, who have learned that unity is the greater part of strength, must resolve to combine their indi- vidual knowledge and to build one ship for all. They appoint officers, and guided by one of the Harbor Pilots who is hired as the Supercargo in charge of all the commercial affairs of the voyage, they spend the long winter laying the keel of a '37 foot sloop. When spring comes, the ship is finished, and fearfully they launch it into the long swells and tall waters, and quickly they unfurl the sails and set their course ahead, steering carefully between the treacherous shoals. Behind them follow the anguished cries of their comrades who have spent the year in idleness and whom they have left at the mercy of sea serpents and the ancient octopus never to see again, unless one ‘should by chance attain the island by crossing alone during the summer typhoons that originate in the Temple of the gods. As they approach the stormy coast of the third island they see no harbor for their ship, for there is only foam dashed high against the forbidding rocky cliffs. There is no turning back — they must enter this land by their own efforts and at their own risk. This is the second test of the traveler's Fortitude. When the sloop is shattered on the rocks, some escape death by clinging to drifting planks, on which they are eventually washed ashore, but the waters are filled with the shrieks of the drowning. Survivors find this to be a bare island inhabited by a group of merciless pirates. This island is a perfect pirates' hide-out, for it is almost inapproachable except at either end, where there are narrow lagoons of calm water. These are separated by a rough embankment, which gives the island a resemblance to a ragged H. The apprentices, who have spent three years before the mast, are called Junior Seamen. They think that the key to the treasure they seek is hidden in the island. The magi, however, counsel that the real treasure lies beyond these shores, and that its snares are placed in the pathway to test the sailors. ■ Those who heed the magi prepare to leave the island with great speed, and they build a craft with the remains of wrecks which they find on the beach — they fashion the body of their ship from alumnus wood and cover the bottom and caulk the seams with old examination papers which are scattered all over the island. They then paint the top-sides of their pirate ship with several coats of oil and prepare to raid the next island the moment the S. S. Senior steams out of the harbor. 14 A nap Off The Sea Caaste An Territories of THE, LAHIATi ISLF.S JON'O CC WS JO IftUTtf 6C i I I � ll fOINU W«� � (mu ww«v) Iv cat.o •Si Cartograph compiled from survey data supplied by the entire staff of THE 1935 LAHIAN and executed in Pen-and-ink by Dick Ellenberger. Jane King, Nancy Perkins, and others. 15 Leaving behind them their former companions, who search in vain for buried treasure, they silently steer their galleon out of the lagoon and glide over peaceful waters into the broad harbor of an island whose gleaming sands had been visible from a great distance and had beckoned them from afar. This island, which offers no resistance to the assumption of control is resplendent with gold and precious metals, and they think that at last they have found the treasure for which they have sought, but again the magi warn them that true wealth is to be found in life and not in material riches. Again they are tempted to remain in idle luxury in these glittering thoroughfares, where warm breezes sway the tropical palms, where the very food is provided as if by heaven, and where the magi begin to grant special privileges to those worthy of trust. This sacrifice is the third test of their Fortitude, and it is the most difficult of all, for there are many to whom the gates of wisdom are barred because they have not learned self-denial. Those who look beyond this enticing splendor of gold see a fertile land surrounded by beaches, and a goodly harbor protected from the sea by an L-shaped cove. And those who are wise know that this land, too, is meant to be a stepping-stone. They prepare to leave in their own ships, for they are Master Mariners, granted passports by the Harbor Pilots to go freely into the world, because they have overcome their tests of intestinal Fortitude. Some of them return to their native homes, and some few strain onward to another group of islands whose shadowy coastlines can be seen far away on the horizon when they are pointed out by the far-seeing eyes of the magi. There are those who remain in wastefulness upon the island, but they eventually perish, or battle their way alone through unfriendly seas. When a sailor once leaves the Lahian Isles, he can never see them more, for they elude the vision of those who have passed through these islands never long for them except in memory, for they have learned the Art of Living Well. ■ Thus ends one of the strangest chronicles of the sea. Although historians may discredit it and cynics scoff at it, the fact remains that some mysterious enchantment lurks over the Lahian Isles — an enchantment which is perhaps exercised by those wise rulers who guide the struggling children through the trials of apprenticeship, i is certain that they know, but they will not disclose their secret, and none beside them understand. The fishermen only know that when the heat of summer gradually is tempered into fall, that there suddenly swings over the horizon the vision of the LAHIAN ISLES. Scientists declare that it is a mirage caused by layers of hot air; and historians call it an interesting legend; indeed an English poet went so far as to write of the Lahian Lightship — The light that never was on land or sea. But the fishermen wisely shake their heads — they know, for have not they themselves sojourned on the islands? It is the magi. 16 gtHId port authority They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters.—THE BIBLE. THE PORT CAPTAIN Dr. S. N.

The first president was Charles Simmons, a member of this class. Mr. Howard Drake and Dr. S. N. Ewan, Jr., were the original sponsors. Since its main purpose was to promote a democratic spirit within the school, the senate was especially interested in the point system of activity award. It also judged individual students and, by presenting the student viewpoint, often aided the faculty. The council was officially recognized in 1929. Leonard Hahn was elected president; Miss Virginia Lilley and Mr. Howard Drake were made co-sponsors. This year was the first that the council financed and edited the handbook. In 1930 the constitution was amended to admit class presidents and Miss Helen Brickell became the sponsor, a position which she still holds. Kimble Hicks was elected president and again the council enlarged the scope of its service-to-students. Herbert Ostroff presided in 1931, and Evan Bartleson in 1932. The president of the Honor Society was automatically admitted to membership and representatives were elected from the various musical and athletic groups. Lansdowne became a charter member of the Philadelphia Intersuburban Student Council Association; began the custom of writing Christmas letters to famous people; and, in order to raise money, sponsored Noon dances. With Bob Jessup as president in 1933, the council revised the constitution, developed the point system, and supervised important Pep meetings. This same year Lansdowne was the host to the Intersuburban Convention. ■ Under the leadership of A1 Gray, the year 1934 saw more history in the making. The council sponsored the school store where the proceeds finance the handbook. Membership was further enlarged to include the heads of both HI-Y groups. The council operated the gridiron refreshment stand and thus financed L's for the athletes. It installed the new school mascots, Arno Ewan and Alphie Schrader. Another new project was the first All-Student Assembly— with no teachers present—where students were free to speak as long as they were orderly. It also supervised the printing of the school calendar of weekly events, conducted an intensive drive for better assemblies, and performed many small services— lighting the bulletin board and providing cheaper bus transportation for students. 22 MAXTOR MARIN RRdf The ship moved so smoothly that her onward motion was imperceptible to th9 senses of men, as though she had been a crowded planet speeding through the dark spaces of ether behind the swarm of suns, in the appalling and calm solitudes awaiting the breath of future creations.—JOSEPH CONRAD.

Of depthless straits, by unseen bridges spanned, And pagan lands where youthful joys abound. With self-complacent ignorance I scorned Your eager hopes and half-imagined dreams. Far better if your islands were adorned V ith earthly things, instead of silvery streams. You turned to go. I saw the sunset sky Stretched out above your wistful upturned face. You smiled; I could not understand just why— And took my hand, and left this lowly place. You’re gone, and still I cannot understand. I only know you smiled and took my hand. I. There is an eager questioning in You, A turbulent and never-filled desire For drifting stars and waves of wind-spent blue That is the essence of each passing fire. You turn in pausing and your eyes glance back; I see the glorious hope that dwells in them. Its shining presence overshades the black. Unknown defeat that looms far-off and dim. A questing song: You must pursue its shade! The present never has been quite sincere; And in the darkness all your thoughts are made Of up-flung hopes, remote but strongly clear. The path before you mocks your stumbling feet. But in the air your parting song is sweet. IV. The future looms ahead, an empty space Resounding in a cavern's hollow shell; For never will I see again your face Nor know once more your glamorous, laughing spell. Deep-rocted to the leaden sod I cling. My hope of grandeur hidden in a cloud— An ugly and emaciated thing. ! strain to tear away the chilly shroud. And sometimes on the distant twilight sea Beyond the breakers beating on the shore, An unknown planet faintly beckons me, And I behold a passage and a door. Then all is still and darkness wraps me tight . . . And terrified, I seek again the light. II. You clasp my destiny within your scope. You scorn my puny strength and stride ahead, Exultant, laughing leaving me to grope Deserted, for the pleasures of the dead. No other course there is for you to take Than leads beyond the bay, beyond the skies, Where on strange shores majestic waters break, And golden cities in their power rise. Forlorn I stand and weep, with empty hands Forever grasping at each transient dream, Forever gazing on the empty sands— And faintly, far-away. I catch your gleam! You measure my ambition by your own, And little know I falter when you're gone. V. The road is long, and upward winds its way Into a dim oblivion of blue. The path is steep (I cannot last the day), And stones and brambles cut me off from you. Now you have passed the summit of the hill. The light of fading day has slowly gone, And all around, the night is black and still . . . I cannot, cannot, go my way alone. So short a time since I approached you here! (So long it seems since you have passed me by!) For I could only see the brambles, dear. And you saw nothing but the purple sky. I cannot pierce the veil through which you go. So won't you turn and wave to me. below? 39 THE GHOST SHIP Carries a Cargo oi Memories Youth is not orever and soon fadeth away, but youth attains so many feats that its memories forever stay.—Barton. Do YOU Remember— When Perkins played in a Chinese band? A1 Gray as a bartender in the Robin Hood play? Sidney Jones' first newspaper? When Figgie lost his pants at the Freshman party? When Comog took the basket of fruit to Bill Broughton's house? When Peggy Jones won a box of cigars for naming the most cartoons? When Kwapil put his hand through the window? How Thompson and McDonald got their nicknames? When Moitz made the Varsity baseball team in his freshman year? When Bee asked Sidney to spring dance with her? When the Scandal sheets began? Butts and Rowdy ? When the canopy fell down at the Sophomore Hop? When we lost the U. D. game? Reds McHugh? Bergner's bangs? Frances Willard's picture that used to hang in the Senior Hall? The first time Miss McCullough said to be ordinarily intelligent ? I feel futile ? George Morton and Onyx? I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more- the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea. the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires--and expires, too soon, too soon before life itself.—Joseph Conrad. 40 One's opinion may change; one's tastes may alter—in fact, they do. One's very conception of virtue is at the mercy of some felicitious temptation which may be sprung on one any day. All these things are perpetually on the swing.—JOSEPH ’CONRAD.

Gordon Fetter had the honor of being its first president; Albert Gray, vice-president; Dick Ellenberger, secretary; and Myles Charlton, treasurer. The sponsor is Mr. B. Wycliffe Griffin. S4 Girls’ HI-Y ■ The HI-Y Club for Girls was founded in 1925 by Miss Edna Hall, but did not become an active group until Mrs. M. E. Marx became the adviser the following year. Frequently thereafter, meetings were held at the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. Later the group was sponsored by Miss Helen Brickell, the Dean of Girls, but for the past two years Miss Margaret Cook has been the sponsor. The club's purpose is to create, maintain, and to extend throughout the school and community high standards of living, better sportsmanship and fellowship, and higher scholarship; and this it does completely in its charity, social, and parent-teacher-student program. Deedie Mingey is president; B. Garber, vice-president; J. Suddards, secretary; and H. Walker, treasurer. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ■ The Lansdownc chapter of the National Honor Society, which was organized in 1930, is an organization modeled after the Phi Beta Kappa of American colleges. Its purpose is to stimulate an interest in scholarship, school activities, and service to the school. Mew members must have demonstrated Leadership and Character and must also be in the upper third of their class. Five per cent of the members are taken from the Junior class and fifteen per cent from the Senior class. This year for the first iime the Society has become an active group meeting regularly. It took charge of the Honorary Achievement section of the Bulletin Board which gives credit to the students who have contributed outstanding pieces of work to the school; assumed the responsibility for completing the point system; and sponsored the Honors Banquet which will undoubtedly become one of the biggest events on the school calendar. Miss Brickell sponsors the society whose officers are Beatrice Cornog, President, and Peggy Jones, Secretary-Treasurer. The old members this year included Helen Alsdorf, Charles Beckworth, Elizabeth Benkert, Kathryn Degville, George Fornwalt, Nelle Kelly, Edith Krotzer, Robert Parsons, Nancy Perkins, Barinka Sadler, Alice Stubbs, Helen Vance, Helen Walker, and Ray Wilbur. Juniors included John Harley, Madge Har-shaw, Richard Homiller, Joseph Rust, Ann Layton, Charles Peters, Jane King, and Edward Schweizer. 55 HELM We nominate to our hall CLAUDE FIGGS. because he is Tennis manager, a Football letterman, chairman of the Final,- and a big fellow with a jolly disposition.

JOSEPH CONRAD. 57 THE LAHIAN ■ Until 1929 the final issue of THE GARNET AND GRAY, then a magazine, was usually-enlarged to include the pictures of graduating seniors. The class of 1929, under the joint sponsorship of Miss Margaret McCullough and Dr. S. N. Ewan, Jr. (then plain Mr.), was the first class to introduce many of the features of the school yearbook. Under the sponsorship of Mr. George Epley, however, the class of 1930 was the first to really create the LAnsdowne High School ANnual, THE LA-HI-AN. Indeed, that year the volume consisted of 150 pages and the sales reached a total of 475 copies. This monumental tome, printed in two colors, developed the theme, Old and New, and was appropriately dedicated to the first principal of Lansdowne High, Miss Emily Grace, who was retiring that year after 52 years of service in the local schools. Previous to 1930 the so-called yearbook was dedicated to Miss Edna Hall in 1927, to Mr. Levi Gilbert in 1928, and to Dr. S. N. Ewan, Jr., in 1929. After 1930 it was dedicated to Miss Margaret Henderson in 1931, to Miss Martha G. Hartman in 1932, to Miss Margaret C. Cook in 1933, and to both Miss Helen Brickell and Mr. E. C. Abbott in 1934. To Mr. George Epley and Miss Margaret McCullough the student body is deeply indebted for the splendid issues of THE LAHIAN produced for the past five years. Both were relieved of the task when it was delegated to Mr. D. Malcolm Smith who was placed in charge of all publications the first part of this year. Under the new policy, this volume will be the first issue of THE LAHIAN to affiliate with the several scholastic press associations, where it will receive constructive criticism when it is compared with the product of other schools. TIME MARCHES ONI . . . the School Store finances the Handbook 59 STUDENT PUBLICITY SERVICE ■ This is not only a new phase of journalism in Lansdowne High School, it is also something of an innovation in secondary schools. The SERVICE has much in common, however, with the Press Club found in most American colleges today; but it more closely resembles a situation in which a local newspaper features regularly each week a page of school news written by students. Faculty members and student leaders are permitted to submit requests for publicity in the nature of an advance or review story; student writers then cov;r the assignments and write the stories; the typing department then makes separate copies of the publicity Copy, for the city editor will not accept carbon copies of a story; and then, finally, the stories are forwarded in time to make the deadlines of the many papers in the Philadelphia and Suburban area. The ideal coverage for the reproduction of a good Lansdowne High School news story includes all the Philadelphia papers; namely, with special emphasis being placed upon making the page of school news that appears as a regular weekly feature of the Saturday edition of the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER. More important are those local papers with a perferred circulation in Lansdowne and environs; namely, the DELAWARE COUNTY TIMES (cir. of 3500), the CHESTER TIMES (2000), THE 69TH STREET NEWS (1500), THE COUNTY LEADER (1000), and THE SENTINEL (1000). It is the DELAWARE COUNTY TIMES, however, that really cooperates the most—featuring the student written copy and granting the courtesy of a by-line for the following members of the STUDENT PUBLICITY SERVICE: Rita Carbine, Norma Rubin, Robert Parsons, Alice Plough, Elise de la Cova, -Nancy Perkins, Edith Krotzer, Charles Kalmbach, Richard Cramer, Sue Earnest, Gertrude Gar-rigues, lane King, and others in the Journalism classes. Gertrude Garrigues has virtually developed a column of news notes and personals appearing in the TIMES under the arresting title of News Flashes from Lansdowne High School. Jane King, who began the column, has just finished one year of splendid performance as the first Student Publicity Director that Lansdowne High has ever had. During the past year she had the pleasure of calling on and chatting with every city editor in Philadelphia and the Suburban area. TIME MARCHES ON! THE GARNET AND GRAY ■ Founded in 1916, THE GARNET AND GRAY existed as a school magazine until 1928 when it took the form and size of the L.H.S. SPOTLIGHT, Lansdowne High's first student newspaper. Since that time it has been published in different sizes and varying formats. Present members of the faculty who have served in an advisory capacity in the past, are Mr. Kraber, Miss McCullough, Mr. Snyder, and Miss Lilley. Under the editorial sponsorship of Virginia Lilley THE GARNET AND GRAY reached a prominent position in the world of school publications, taking several first and second places in the several contests sponsored annually by the various scholastic press associations. In the school year 1933-34, however, the Depression hit the paper which, now, under the direction of D. Malcolm Smith, seems to be staging a comeback, having been awarded first prize at the Interscholastic Press Conference sponsored by the Journalism department at Lehigh University. Credit for the award goes to each and every subscriber and to student journalists like Sidney Jones, Robert Kwapil, and Jane King. TIME MARCHES ON!

These included Green Eyes from Romany, presented by the Senior group; Safety Pins First, by the Junior group; and the two very delightful little plays, The Boy Comes Home and The Trysting Place, produced by the Sophomore players. The pictures accompanying this section show light moments in a rehearsal of The Boy Comes Home. . . . minstrel show ■ The 1935 Minstrel Show, under the direction of Coach Herbert Horner, enjoyed the most successful season since it was started, three years ago, to aid the Athletic Association. Although not exactly connected with real art, drama, or music—or even the several high school departments of the same name; the Third Annual Minstrel Show still warrants a writeup on this page. Its popular appeal packs 'em in to the tune of a net profit of $200. Mary Downey and Kathryn Davis have always assisted Mr. Horner, contributing much to its success. Chubby Griswold, Figgie Figgs, Duck Thompson, and Second Fiddle Drulte again performed antics on the ends, while A1 Gray watched from the middle and still found time to announce the other stars and athletes who sat around in the circle. 62 . . . spring iestival 9 .-or the Spring Drama Festival, each of the classes in Drama presented a one-act play. The Sophomores chose Money for Jam, a farce by Babette Hughes, played by Austin Frick, Hildegarde Bobb, Gertrude Garrigues, Stanley Hopkinson, and Larry Norton, who came through with a ripping performance, well-supported by Martha Adams as his elderly, doting aunt. The Juniors presented the costume play, Sire de Maletroits uoor, a dramatization by Mary Davidson of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story of the same name. The part of the Sire's niece, Blanche, was ably handled by Eileen Fallon. Other members of the cast were Robert Mayer, Albert Weber, Ronald Hansel, and Mary Jane Stokes who gave a remarkable characterization of the Sire, a difficult part for even a boy. The setting, by the Art Department, under the supervision of Miss Kathryn Davis, created a striking effect. The Seniors gave Grand Cham's Diamond, a mystery thriller by Allan Monk-house. The cast included Edith Krotzer, Albert Gray, George Jordon, Grace Walters, and Charles French. The cockney accents of the last two, together with the melodramatic black-outs, added to the atmosphere. It was another successfully artistic evening for Miss Virginia M. Lilley and the dramatics department. . . . direction ■ The Lansdowne High School has always shown a keen interest in the drama. Indeed, from 1928 to 1933, a special teacher of speech, Aurelia T. Meader, conducted classes in public speaking and in the drama. Since 1933, however, the dramatics classes have been under the direction of Virginia M. Lilley who also supervises production. . . . senior play •I 'Growing Pains, a three act comedy, presented by the Senior class this year, was considered one of the best student productions ever staged by the drama department under the direction of Miss Virginia M. Lilley. The principal characters were portrayed by Bobbie Topliss, Charles French, Edith Krotzer, Myles Charleton, and Bee Cornog, who may be seen in the stars to be found on these pages. Other parts were taken by Ray Wilbur, Bill Moitz, Loretta Roth, Bill Lowden, Bob Parsons, Gordon Fetter, Betty Workman, Nelle Kelly, Nansie Johansen, Madge Saunders, Dorothy Zuber, George Jordan, and Peggy Jones. Extras were Ruth Brenz, Helen Vance, Joe Turner, and Tom DeFabio. . . . pageantry ■ Our educational Birthday Party celebrating the 300th Anniversary of the Founding in 1635 of the Boys' Latin School in Boston, the first high = ohool in America, headed the parade of pageants presented by the Lansdowne schools. In this we were one jump ahead of the other schools in the Philadelphia area. Miss Martha G. Hartman, who did a splendid piece of work as the general chairman, was fortunate in being able to present Miss Emily Gross, Lansdowne High School's very first high school principal— her presence added much to the occasion. Next in line came An Old English Christmas, a feast of music and pageantry. Miss Isabel Ross, who served as the general chairman, was also assisted by Don Corbin, Kathryn Davis, and Mary Downey. The Advanced Chorus and the Girls' Glee sang carols in the spirit of Christmas. Last in line in the procession of pageants came the Third Annual May Day, staged by the Physical Education department of the schools. Dorothy Zuber was crowned Queen of the May. 63 MUSIC . . . orchestra ■ Previous to 1930 the high school orchestra was also conducted by Mr. Slyter. In 1929 it had just begun to play for school assemblies, a practice which was continued by Mr. Corbin who took over in 1930. Since then the orchestra has taken part in many activities. In 1932 the orchestra, band, and chorus groups began the custom of presenting a spring music festival which has become an annual affair that is looked forward to with considerable pleasure. The orchestra continues to play at all high school assemblies, drama productions, commencement exercises, in broadcasts, and on special occasions. G4 . . . stage crew ■ The Stage Crew, under the co-manager-ship of Charles French and George Iordan, has just finished another year of efficient service. James Manning, George Fly, Henry French, John Powell, Frank Russell, Charles Beard, Robert Mayer, Dan Walls, Steve Garrett, and Olaf Johansen, who comprise the crew, have complete charge of the stage and its unusually fine equipment. These boys often work for weeks with the Art department to build the sets and prepare the proper lighting effects for our many productions. By so doing they gain invaluable experience in stage carpentry, scene painting, and electrical engineering. Mr. Carl Hurlock has been the adviser since 1933. Although Mr. John Tammeryn had been in charge previous to 1932, there was no stage crew adviser to assist Aurelia Meader in the school year 1932-33. . . . chorus . . . band ■ The Lansdowne High School band was first organized in 1929, under the direction of David O. Slyter. The somewhat limited activity of this first organization included school productions, and the band also managed to give a concert in the Lansdowne Theatre—the proceeds of which were used to purchase uniforms. In 1930, Don Corbin was placed in charge of instrumental music, including both the band and orchestra, and under his direction the instrumental music program has been considerably enlarged. The band now plays for assembly programs, football games, music festivals. Home and School Association meetings, May Day, and an occasional concert. . . . girls' glee ■ Organized in the fall of 1931 with a membership of 58 girls, the Glee has grown in 1935 to a membership of 95, headed by Ann Layton. Although the Girls' Glee participated in An Old English Christmas and gave a splendid performance, their finest work was heard in the Fourth Annual Music Festival. . . . voice ■ Lansdowne High won the distinction of contributing two voices to the Eastern Music Supervisors' Conference High School Chorus at Pittsburgh in March. This chorus of 500 trained voices was selected from hundreds of applicants in the Middle Atlantic states, and the eastern Provinces of Canada. Dorothy Howell and Annie Ruth Bachman were so honored, having been highly recommended for their musical ability, character, and scholarship. Mary A. Downey, director of vocal music, accompanied the two girls to Pittsburgh. ■ Mary A. Downey, supervisor of vocal music, organized the Boys' Gleo and the Mixed Chorus in 1931. The Advanced Chorus was organized in 1934, because membership in the choral groups had doubled and voices had improved. At the present time, twenty per cent of the school's enrollment is now participating in choral activities. Highlights in the school year, 1934-35, include the L. H. S. broadcast, Christmas program. Fourth Annual Music Festival, Assembly programs, and an exchange program with Lower Merion. Miss Downey's tireless efforts have been rewarded with a splendid response in good diction, tone beauty, and intelligent interpretation. George Jordan is the president and Jane Sloan the secretary of the Mixed Chorus of a hundred voices from the combined girls' and boys' glee clubs. . . . piano ■ During the past school year G. Roy Mann composed an original creation for the piano, for which Mr. Don B. Corbin created an orchestrated accompaniment. Sunset Waters, as this impressionistic piece is titled, was first heard in an assembly program but was played in public for the first time at a meeting of the Home and School Association where it won merited encores. Due publicity followed, and later the original selection featured the L. H. S. broadcast over Station WHAT. . . . bassoon ■ For the second time G. Roy Mann's performance on the bassoon took First Place in the instrumental music contest for Eastern Pennsylvania; but this year—thanks to the Lansdowne Home and School Association— he and his accompanist, Albert Eckenroth, were able to travel to Erie, Pa. There they entered the State contest and carried off first honors—much to the joy of Mr. Don Corbin who motored the school-boy artist west to the contest. 65 Glee Club MUSIC Chorus MAY DAY Two of A Kind Society AILOR CtUt) 0R11 IS FxR The Time has come, the Skipper said.

Interest grew rapidly and more sets of chess men were needed. An organization was effected and Robert Ware was elected the first president; funds were raised and the necessary sets were purchased. Finally, in 1933, Lansdowne High challenged the other schools in the suburban area. This chess move led directly to the formation of the Philadelphia Suburban Chess League. Because of the many activities in which Lans-downe's best players became involved, the club—under the leadership of Dick Ellen-berger—did not participate in League competition during the year 1934-1935 but limited its activity to intermural games. DEBATING Team ■ Debating began as cm extracurricular activity but has since become a minor subject. Lansdowne belongs to the Philadelphia Suburban Debating League composed of six schools holding dual debates on a question chosen by the league each year. League members are expected to participate in at least eight inter-league debates. Although Lansdowne's debaters participated in the minimum number this year, Mr. Howard Drake's debaters have often taken on no less than twenty dual contests. This year the league debated the question— Resolved, That the several states should adopt a policy of socialized medicine. Seniors who participated were Carl Black, Gordon Fetter, Charles French, Albert Gray and Catherine Mingey; underclassmen included Martha Adams, Sue Earnest, and John Finn. STAMP Club ■ The club was formed in October, 1933, with Mr. John Tammeryn as the sponsor. The first year was spent in trading stamps among members. Sidney Jones was elected president from among the charter members: Earl Baker, Robert Bauder, John Birkinbine, Charles Carter, Franklin Downward, Russell Hale, Paul List, Robert Parsons, Herbert Rommell and John Stalker. The next year saw the admission of girls to membership. The presidency was retained by Sidney Jones; with Paul List as vice-president; Doris Drake as secretary and treasurer; and John Birkinbine, clerk. Mr. Tammeryn resigned that year and the club ran under its own momentum until April, 1934, when Mrs. Esther Morris took over. Now a member of the National Federation of Stamp Clubs, our philatelists have won recognition for Lansdowne. Russell Hale is the present president. FRENCH Club ■ The French Club was organized as early as 1925. The first adviser we find mentioned is Miss Marion Hall who had charge of the club in 1931. It is still open to students of third year French who automatically become members. Meetings are held the last Friday in each month for the purpose of conversing in French. The high spot in this year's activity was the presentation in assembly of a one-act comedy entitled La Faim Est Un Grand Inventeur.” It was of course presented in French, featuring Deedie Mingey and Helen Vance as waitresses, John Hefner as the cook, and Robert Thompson and Austin Frick as two sailors. The club is capably advised by Miss Dorothy Griffith. 69 SURVEYING Club 9 Siartsd as an activity of the Math Club in 1926, Surveying advanced to the status of an elective subject in February, 1930. The club is still advised by its founder, Mr. John Tammeryn. It supplies several real needs, including among others, the application of mathematics, pre-engineering preparation and vocational guidance in engineering. The work includes the use of logarithms and the application of all the high school mathematics. The use of the slide rule, as well as the use of surveying instruments, feature its program. Chain surveying and the essentials of the transit are the main study, while the more advanced students work with levels and transit on more difficult problems. The surveys, which are made within a radius of fifty miles, are drafted and blue printed upon completion. 70 MATH Club ■ The Math Club was organized originally as one group in 1921 and sponsored by Miss Mary McAllister. Because of the difficulty encountered in meeting after school and during assembly periods, the club was broken up into chapters, each with its own set of officers. Meetings are held during the last half of the periods on Friday of each week. During these meetings talks and demonstrations on the historical and practical phase of mathematics are presented. There are three chapters: the Junior Einstein Chapter whose officers are Dick Homiller, president, and Ann Layton, secretary; the Senior Naperian Chapter whose officers are Hazel Bien, president, and Edith Krotzer, secretary; and also, the Senior Y's Chapter whose officers included Gordon Fetter, Robert Thompson, and Claude Figgs. SCIENCE Club ■ To enlarge its rather limited field and to create more of an appeal, the Radio Club was re-organized in 1933 and called the Science Club. During the past year Robert Mayer served as president, John Finn as vice-president, Walter Anderson as secretary, and James Wescott as Treasurer. Under the continued sponsorship of Mr. Carl Hur-lock, this year's activities numbered a demonstration on school night, inspections of the Fels-Naptha Soap manufacturing plant and the Paschel Oxygen Co. They also secured a speaker. Prof. D. H. Kabakjian, who addressed the assembly on Radio-Active Elements. A committee of three that included R. Mayer, D. Walls, and Mr. Hurlock inspected the public address systems at West York High School and at the Upper Darby Junior High School with a view to installing one of our own in the future. BIBLE Club ■ The Sigma Delta Theta Bible Club was organized in November, 1933, to meet the desire of a group of students to study the spiritual side of life, and to learn the origin, development, and practical use of the Bible. The first officers were Marian Burdsall, '34, president; Ellen Dunham, '37, vice-president; and Charles Ritter, '37, secretary. The club derived its name from the initial letters of the three main words in the original Greek passage, II Timothy 2:15. This passage became the motto of the club which is dedicated to study to be approved by God. Officers are now elected for two years so that Miriam Shaw, '36, Hildur Broskhouse, '36, and Gladys Ayres, '36, will continue in office during the next school year as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively.

Coach Herbert Horner built this year's varsity from four remaining letter men and a few experienced players who had come up the line from Mr. Griffin's Jay Vee team. The season just past proved to be the best within the last five years, not only because of the percentage of wins and the number of points scored, but also because it brought to the Lansdowne trophy case The Old Oaken Bucket, and a 21 to 7 victory over our arch-enemy. Upper Darby. Bob Thompson, who is undoubtedly one of the best tackles Lansdowne has ever had, placed on the All Suburban Second Team. Bob Grizwold, a strong and steady guard, turned in a fine performance as part of the stonewall in the center of the line. Cob Korenko, a stalwart center, aided this year's varsity with his accurate passing and his ability to diagnose the opponent's attack. Karl Speidel's clean and aggressive play at tackle helped to build Lansdowne's stonewall and its reputation for clean sportsmanship. Bud Jordan, serious and ever plugging guard, was one of the mainstays always ready and waiting and fearless on the charge. Knute Broadbent, a versatile gridder, who played on both the line and backfield, turned in fine blocking and speedy ball carrying this season.

Like the season, they have now bscome Ghost of the Gridiron -but we shall be haunted with the memory of their prowess. TIME MARCHES ON! ■ The Jay Vee Football team had a highly successful season, being undefeated in Junior Varsity competition with Darby, Ridley Park, Lower Merion, Yeadon, Upper Darby, and Haverford, and losing only to Yeadon's varsity. Success was due, not so much to the efforts of any one or two players but to the efforts of all the players as a team. Averaging but 138 lb?, per player, outweighed by every team they played, they brought the season to its successful close by means of the sheer fight of eleven boys who played as one, and who refused to admit defeat. For the first year, the Junior Varsity Football team was recognized as a separate organization with a special award. 75 HOCKEY ■ In revi awing the Hockey season of this year just past, we find that although the Lansdowne Ladies were carefully coached by Miss Sally Allen, they seemed to face some sort of a ''Jinx'’ at every turn of the corner, having ended the season of eight games with all but one on the losing side of the score. The contest they managed not to lose, however, was one they managed to tie Haverford, 2-2. Although the Jay Vees, playing the same schedule, succumbed at Haverford and elsewhere, they did manage to win over Collingdale. The girls did not once despair, however, and put all they had into each and every game. Miss Sally Allen, the coach, wrote of her season: It was disappointing as far as the number of wins were concerned, but every girl out for hockey will tell you about the Schedule Opp. LHS 4 SWARTHMORE 1 2 HAVERFORD 2 5 COLLINGDALE 1 4 NETHER PROVIDENCE 0 2 UPPER DARBY o ! 9 LOWER MERION 0 2 RIDLEY PARK o 3 ABINGTON 1 31 5 swell time they had participating. The girls worked hard but just could not drive the ball through the gxl often enough to put us in the bad. Perhaps next year will see a better season with a few of the breaks breaking our way. 'Squeaky Von Kleeck, center-forward; Peggie Jones, right inner; and Bunny Harshaw at left inner demonstrated exceptional skill this past season. Others who played in varsity competition were Ann Layton, El Ivy, Biff Garber, Helen Alsdorf, Katherine Van Tyne, Mary Politees, Edith Schrader, Lee, Nancy Perkins, and Alice Plough. Others who carried on for the Jay Vees were Cheyney, Mingey, Cor-nog, Bergner, Vance, McQuaide, Mosher, Suhrie, and Sadler. With the many who will report again next fall, the luck of the Hockey should change. 76 SOCCER ■ Soccer was first organized at Lansdowne High School by E. C. Abbott in 1932. Sinc9 then, it has developed into a major sport with a squad of thirty players and a schedule of twelve games. With each new season there comes an improvement in the technique of the game as may be seen from a comparison of the three seasons. In the first season no games were won; in the second season five games were won and six lost; in the third season of 1934, however, six games were won, five lost, and one tied.

Outstanding games of the past season include the Abington game, in which we were defeated 3-2 in an exceptionally clean and hard-fought battle, and the second game with Haverford which ended 2-0 in our favor. 77 BASKETBALL This year's varsity basketball squad, which represented the Fleet of the Lahian Isles in Suburban League Number Two, was composed entirely of men from the S.S. Senior and the Junior ship. The S.S. Senior contributed four veteran officers with previous experience under fire. The commanding officer. Captain Jack Ricksecker, was selected from among this group. In the ensuing battles Ricky's speedy deception and strategic leadership proved the justifoation of this honor. The other veteran officers were: Chief Gunner's Mate Bill Moitz, who led our forces in the attack, at the position of forward, winning first place in shots scored, and a reputation for cool headed, deter-minded team work. Guard Lieutenant Earl McCord, officer in charge of repelling boarders, a steady all 'round player and a consistent plugger, defended our territory from enemy cannon balls. Lieutenant Ed McDonald's, Senior officer of the Naval Reserves, consistent work and loyalty pulled us through many emergencies. Many of the other leading positions were filled by deserving officers of Junior Rank. Guard Ed Schweizer, not only guarded the enemy so well that it was often impossible for them to unlimber their guns in order to shoot, but he won the Target Practice Competition, scoring 76 out of 100 shots in the Foul Shooting Contest. Gunner's Mate George Cummings' brilliant offensive attack scored many points for the home team. It was with regret we saw him laid up for repairs after being carved up in the vicinity of his internal barnacle. Able support was received from Frank Meade at the positions of guard and center. The Relief positions on the Reserve were filled by: Leon Polities, cen- Schedule Opp. LHS 32 ALUMNI 27 20 SWARTHMORE 27 j 9 MEDIA 22 | 22 UPPER DARBY 20 19 UPPER MERION 36 30 CONSHOHOCKEN 16 11 RADNOR 21 28 HAVERFORD 20 ! 8 DARBY 12 ! 25 UPPER DARBY 15 17 MEDIA 20 20 SWARTHMORE 28 20 UPPER MERION 35 17 CONSHOHOCKEN 19 21 RADNOR 28 9 DARBY Suburban League 23 14 CONSHOHOCKEN 25 26 POTTSTOWN 21 Kiwanis Tournament 17 RADNOR 18 15 DARBY 23 i 25 MEDIA 22 1 406 478 : ter; Joe Brown, guard; and Jim McGrory, guard. This season produced a championship record. The results of the battles reading as follows. In the Suburban Number Two League we won 10. lost 1. Because our varsity game with Pottstown in the P. I. A. A. tournament conflicted with the first Ki-wanis tournament play, our seconds substituted against Radnor's varsity on the floor at the Pennsylvania Military College and played so well that they came off victorious in an exciting and very close contest, 18-17. In the Kiwanis League we were edged out in the Semi-Finals by Media on the P. M. C. court. The Suburban (unlimited) crown hopes were killed by Pottstown at the Villanova Stadium. Leading up to the most exciting game of ihe year was our battle with Conshohocken, on their floor. The Sea-going Lordes were defeated, which incidentally v as our only League defeat, largely due to our inability to navigate successfully the hidden reefs and high cliffs along the shore lines which were defended by local seamen thoroughly familiar with the unchartered waters. However, with the return engagement on our own floor we scored over them. This produced a tie for first place in the league championship. On Monday, March 4, we cruised in to the University of Pennsylvania's Palestra, in order to stage the important war game of the year on neutral waters. This time 6000 spectators saw Lansdowne annex the Suburban Number Two League crown. The first championship crown since 1930. Much of the credit for the successful season goes to Commander A. Todd Coronway, who so ably directed naval maneuvers. TIME MARCHES ON! 79 inn ■ Wrestling, undsr the careful coaching of W. Herbert Horner, is Lansdcwne High School's baby sport; indeed, it is only a two year cld. In the second season, however, the Garnet Grapplers took on nine different matches and won three (3). defeating Episcopal Academy. Radnor, and Abington. Moreover, had they been able to score thirty-one more points than they did, their tally for the entire season would have equalled the count of all their opponents' scores. Finally, we managed to take two places in the interscholastics. This must be considered an achievement of note, for Mr. Horner had as a nucleus really only three men; namely, Charles Nonamaker, Savie Di Romaldo, and Robert Rhinehart v ho has really captained the team for two years. These three were the outstanding perform- WRESTLING Schedule Opp. 28 CHELTENHAM LHS 10 28 UPPER DARBY 6 19 HAVERFORD 11 27 OVERBROOK 0 (School for the Blind) 5 RADNOR 29 20 UPPER MERION 8 12V2 ABINGTON 17 2 9 EPISCOPAL 29 29 GEDR3E SCHOOL 5 177 V2 115 Vi WRESTLING Team BASKETBALL Squad ers, although Bob Wilson must also be mentioned in this connection.

Bill Sinclair, who so capably managed the matmen during the past season, will undoubtedly continue in the same capacity for the coming season. 80 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL B The girls' basketball team of the school year 1934-35 can boast of a very successful season, indeed, of a season that was undefeated for the first six games. Out of the nine games played the team won seven. The two most important and interesting games of the season included Lower Merion and Upper Darby. Although the Lansdowne Ladies had been undefeated up to the Lower Merion contest, they lost this game by two points in spite of a very hard fight. However in the Upper Darby game, the Ladies, captained by Biff Garber, won by a score of thirty-six to thirty-five. This year's successful soason was due to the competent leadership of Miss Sally Allen, together with the fine-cooperation of the players, and the capable and untiring efforts of the Manager, Nancy Perkins. The first team squad, which was responsible for such a fine showing, was composed of Biff Garber (captain), Bunny Harshow, Ann Layton, Schedule Opp. LHS 14 HAVERFORD 33 9 SPRINGFIELD 41 28 ALUMNI 44 20 SWARTHMORE 29 32 RIDLEY PARK 55 ! 1 11 RADNOR 25 26 LOWER MERION 24 40 GLEN NOR 35 | 35 UPPER DARBY 36 • 219 322 Adelaide Mason.

Betty Williams and Ruth Von Kleek, the long and short of the team, played exceptionally well at center and side center, while Elise de la Cova, who is only a sophomore, and Biff Garber (captain) displayed a fine type of guarding which was constant throughout the year. This year the Ladies lose both Betty and Biff, but with four veterans as a nucleus and a fine group of Jay Vees, who were undefeated, Miss Sally Allen hopes to produce championship results next year. The championship Junior Varsity squad. Helen Walker, Katheryn Van Tine. Helen Vance, Ginny Secrist, Barinka Sadler, Alice Plough, Mary Heinz, are commended for their undefeated season of Lady-Like Triumphs. 81 TRACK RECORDS EVENT PERFORMER Opp. S;ore Place SCORES LHS Score Place Time or Distance 100-yd. dash—10.1 sec.

With the combined spirit of Peggy Jones, captain, Bunny Harshaw, Helen Alsdorf, Ruth Bergner, and Squeeky Von Kleek and Mary Jane Stokes, doubles, they trounced Berwyn, Cheltenham, Norristown, and Radnor to the tune of 5 0. and beat Upper Darby decisively by a 4 1 score. During the season they suffered defeat only twice, at Abington and at Lower Merion, the scores being 4-1 each time. Although the whole team showed splendid sportsmanship and spirit, special mention should be made of Bunny Harshaw, who was defeated only once, and of the doubles team. Squeeky Von Kleek and Mary Jane Stokes, which was likewise defeated only once. BOYS' TENNIS ■ This year's tennis team under the leadership of Mr. B. Wycliffe Griffin, again brought the championship to cur school. Tennis is an old sport at Lansdowne where it has always been done well and several championships have been won. Only three points were scored against us; two by Lower Merion and one by Upper Darby, although both of these games in matches were won by scores of 3-2 and 4-1 respectively. In the Middle Atlantic Tournament, at the Manheim Cricket Club and in the Interscholastics at Princeton, several players made good showings. George Boarman, Don Richardson, and Gordon Fetter represented Lansdowne. Outside the suburban league, the boys were defeated by Penn Charter, Harrisburg Academy, and Overbrook, but easily defeated Ocean City. Episcopal Academy, and George School. In toto, the team won 11 matches and lost 3, winning the annual Philadelphia Suburban Athletic Association's cup. because they won all league matches. The team played in the following order: Gcrdon Fetter, captain, Don Richardson, George Boar-man, William Ashbridge, George Jordan, Paul Gray and George Fornwalt, with Claude Figgs as manager. As we close this form Don Richardson defeated Hardon of Lower Merion and Gordon Fetter defeated Cohen cf Coatesville in the semi-finals of the Philadelphia Suburban Tenni3 Tournament. This means that Lansdowne takes team honors and both first and second Maces. As fcr cur two tennis stars -one will eliminate the other, to the glory of Lansdowne High. Golf Team ■ Under the leadership of Mr. J. C. Tammeryn this year's golf team played through a fairly successful season, handicapped in that practically all of last year's team had graduated. Thus the boys, consisting of Jack Pearson, Carl Speidel. Allen Kane. John Hefner, and James Wescott competed against schools that retained experienced teams from the previous season. Jack Pearson, captain at the start of the season, was succeeded by Carl Speidel for the remainder. Robert Stone was the manager. The schedule consisted of 8 matches, of which the golfers lost 5 and won 3. These were all league games. All home matches were held at the Lansdowne Country Club; those away were played on some of the be3t courses in the country. Cheer Leaders ■ This picture of the cheerleaders is by no means complete. Those that are shown below are Helen Vance. Don Richardson, Irvin Zorn, Frank Fallon. Ted Lippen-cctt, and Sue Earnest; but the complete list of yell acrobats includes Captain Dick Ellenberger, Edith Dodge, Stanley Hopkinson, Wayne Gallagher. Betty Williams, George Thompson, Arno” Ewan, and ' Alphie” Schrader. Cheer Leaders Golf Team B With the return of six veterans from last year's team and a few second team players, Coach Herbert Horner built this year's Varsity, which finished second in the Suburban B” League. This is the second year that the Lansdowne nine has finished in second place. Last year Upper Darby defeated us in the last game to drop us to second place and this year we lost our last game with Media, to again slip into second place. The outstanding senior lettermen were. Captain George Huston, third base; Albert Gray, right field; Herb Kcrenku, second base; Earl McCord, first base; Pierre Brulte, left field.

This year's varsity won eight out of fifteen games played. Next year's Baseball Club has a fine chance of winning the championship of Suburban League Two. 86 Illustration by KARL GODWIN Courtesy of Liggett Meyers 87 ■ In the Lahian Isles there lived Es Sindibad, the Wise Old Man of the Sea, whom both the Magi and their followers respected for his wise counsel, and many were they who went to him to be advised, and he did give freely—of advice. There came to him one day a young man, called El Hansen, a keeper of the doors in the market place, one untaught in worldly affairs, who jestingly spake: Tell me, O Sindibad, what shall I do to receive the most for that which I invest? And Sindibad answered gravely, A thing that is bought or sold has no value unless it contains that which can only be given away. Look for the priceless ingredient which cannot be bought or sold. But, what is this priceless ingredient of which you speak, interrogated the young man. Then spoke the Wise Old Man of the Sea and said: My son, the priceless ingredient of which I speak is like buried gold, most difficult to find; it is the Honor and Integrity of him who makes it. Consider well, before you purchase. 86 BY PATRONIZING THE LANSDOWNE BOWLING CENTER YOU ARE HELPING YOUR SCHOOL More Patronage means more advertising space purchased 26 S.
