The night watchman of Shakespeareis day called out the passing hours as he went through the streets of the town bringing the assurance that things were going satisfactorily. Twelve oiclock and all's well 'i might be our cheery call to you,-the members of the Class of Nineteen Thirty-one. Together you have checked off several years that are past. What the coming years will bring is beyond our knowledge. Some of you will go at once to business openings. Some will continue your formal education in colleges and universi- ties. Graduation and leaving Lower Merion are simply normal checking points, marking off the hours in life's day. We wish you joy. We wish for you the satisfaction of achievement.

With regret? With relief? Both, perhaps. Regret that we must leave, so soon, this high school where we have spent four of the best years of our life. Relief that at last we have attained that which we have been striving for, a com- pletion of our high school education. What now? College? Work? There will be some who, although they wish to, may not enter college, either because of financial difficulty or because of a serious lack of effort in their preparation. Others will enter college, backed by their Lower Merion training, and from there will set out in their chosen field. Still others will prefer to start their careers immediately on leaving. All of us, regardless of our aims in life, will appreciate a thousand- fold the training we have received at our Alma Mater. And so we take our leave, hoping that the incoming Senior Class will uphold the standards and traditions of Lower Merion, both in scholarship and athletics. J ACK ROCKWELL. Lowzn MERIQN NINETEEN rn-uRrv-oNE .mr 'gan nw: f1---- CLASS HISTORY OME five years ago on a warm September morn, numerous, small, scared children slowly, or perhaps quickly, wended their Way into the Junior High auditorium. Their fear was somewhat diminished when Mr. Snow soothingly told them not to be frightened, for the seniors had been just as bewildered the pre- ceding year when they entered for the first time. We, for we were those same small, bashful children, were apportioned to various home rooms to which we soon acclimated ourselves. Then began our high school career. Many of us learned by experience to fear and respect that eternal whistle and its subsequent hour of detention. After we had had plenty of time to make and ripen friendships, our class became organized. Howard Whitby was elected president, Sue Abernethy, vice-presidentg Jean Carlisle, secretary, and Dudley VVarwick, treasurer. There were others of our class who distinguished themselves also. Among them were: Eleanor Kavanagh and John Pennypacker, who received the American Legion Medalsg and William Smith, who obtained the highest scholastic average in the class. The school year drew to a happy close and as a token of appreciation, we presented the school with a sailing ship model, complete in all detail, for the library. The next fall we returned fresh from a happy vacation, stronger in stature and strength, for we were upper classmen. We immediately began our school life as the school leaders and created ideals and models for imitation by the lower class. That year, for the first time in the history of Junior High, a girl was elected president of the school, Susan Abernethy. Of course, the Upper Class took prominent parts in all the productions, and it is with pleasure that we remember our pageant, Columbus, our Music Night, and our gym exhibition. When our class had become organized the following held the oHicers of honor: Robert Blair, president, Ray Wilson, vice- presidentg Lewis Meyers, secretary, and Catherine Gerhart, treasurer. The next year, as sophomores, we were again reduced to subjugation by the all-powerful seniors and the haughty juniors. Nevertheless, we bore up well under the strain and made the best of the situation. New friendships were formed, old ones continued, and soon we felt ourselves a vital part of the school life, though as yet We had not particularly begun to shine. The one thing which we especially remember about that year was the annual Parent's Night, on which we, the lowly sophs, almost unaided, presented a play. You will probably remember that play, because its scene was laid in the internal regions of the digestive tract, notably the stomach. Among our performers who thus displayed their talents were: Louise Cross, Stephen McCormack, Dick McCurdy, Aileen Dunham and others. That year we made the following our officers after hot disputes and endless campaigns: Robert Blair, president, Hugh Wynn, vice-president, Susan Abernethy, secretary, and William Smith, treasurer. The custom of the annual sophomore picnic was to be continued Page Eleven LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE .mg Q' q 4.... but because of rain, it was called off. However, the few stray couples who went any way had a good time. Now we entered our career as juniors. No longer were we humble sophomores. We had been, true, just three short months ago, but now We had advanced a step higher and found ourselves the connecting link between the sophomores and the seniors. This year was, perhaps, one of our fullest. It is with pride that we look back upon our undefeated football team, on which so many of our class representatives played. Even prouder were we of our basketball team which reached the final round in the State Championship eliminations. We ask you-could our school team have reached this point of perfection without the aid of Turner, Pennypacker, Wynn, Rose, and Bradford? No, indeed! They needed them, even as our football team needed our representatives, such as: Turner, Pennypacker, Rose, Bradford, Latta, and others. In girls' athletics we were not so well represented, with only Parvin in hockey, and Baker in basketball. Not alone in athletics were we well represented, but also in scholarship and the school activities. Various of our members were represented on the Merionite Staff, on the debating team, and in the Honor Society. The only shadow which crossed our blithesome career as juniors was the death of r. Penn acker. We had learned to love and respect him in that year and a half that we had known him and his absence was indeed marked. It is useless to try and talk about him here, as it has been done so much better elsewhere. However, the plaque which was erected to his memory reminds us and always will remind us of his helpful presence. It is not altogether necessary to remind us of our last year, crowded with happy memories as it is. Who will forget that powerful football team which went through the season undefeated, to obtain the Suburban Championship? Or who can forget that glorious basketball team which came through with such flying colors? And how about our championship boys' soccer and girls, swimming teams? Then, too, we found success in other fields. The debating team, consisting mostly of seniors, had a most successful season. The annual play contest was added to our list of victories by the excellent acting of Charles Lueders, Ray Wilson, and Catherine Purcell in Finders Keepers. By inviting outsiders to our senior prom, we made both a financial and a happy success of it, even though it had to be postponed once because of the orchestra's tardiness. Q It is unnecessary to mention the other events, both big and small, collective and individual, as these are, of course, cherished in the hearts of those individuals who participated in them. However, this is ust a brief outline of the triumphs and perhaps sorrows of the class of 1931. It is a high record in every way. Scholastically, athletically, and socially, we have reigned supreme. We hope that this record will be imitated, emulated or even bettered by our successors, who have aided us in all our stupendous undertakings. As we leave this school behind us, where we have enjoyed this final year under the class leadership of Jack Rockwell, Susan Abernethy, Louise Cross, and Arthur Finigan, we hand the reins to our worthy juniors, and say to them- Drive on. - Page Twelve 5 S i s 3 I LM 72 We Pylf, Vffffff ' Wff egetliljfll ,ff LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE ...alt Q0 ,,,, y ,,,,L .A,, .. ,A i l SISAY V NBFRYFTHY 5 L . .. . , . . ,r . , i i V , Q iffy ff l .

Led by the steady hand of Connie Wickham, the captain of our band, we are laboriously climbing what to most of us is a steep mountain of learning, and there has been many a hard bruise on the rocks and stones as we explore the deep recesses of the vast unknown. But the journey is not always hard. There have been months when we travelled leisurely through the picturesque forests of Historyg weeks when we regaled ourselves with delicious fruit from the trees of English Literatureg days when we sharpened our wits and dulled our pride in long sessions with Mathematics. Among those who were most adventuresome and successful on this trip are Sherwin McDowell, Monica Batchelor, Dave Thomas and many more whose steady determina- tion has gained for them merited honors. As the 300 members of our class assembled in the fall of 1930, we found ourselves the happy medium between the dignified Seniors and the frivolous Sophomores. We have participated in the different activities of school-life-clubs, dramatics, musical affairs and athletics. Rinehart, Thomas, Ridge, Lodge, Megee, Wilson and Fox have entered into the athletic affairs with enthusiasm and zest. The last stage of our journey is before us. Soon we shall stand on the threshold of our Senior greatness.

COCKLIN, Faculty Adviser SOPHOMORE CLASS HE Class of 1931 has just completed its first year i11 High School, and has proved to be the most successful and outstanding Sophomore Class the school has ever had. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. Cocklin, it has been the first Sophomore class to so well organize itself Chaving a class treasury and the cherry and black class colorsb, and to adjust itself so well to the school life. The class, early in the year, made efforts to make its members well acquainted with one another. This effort was furthered by Mr. Gilbert who very kindly gave the class permission to hold an informal dance in the girl's gymnasium during a club period. The Sophomore soccer team won the inter-class soccer tournament, and, in like manner, the class as a whole has take a major part in all sports and student activities. VVe hope that this class will keep up its successful stride throughout its school life at Lower Merion. Page Sevenly l93I v v + 4 s v- JS , l Y x , .

Pre-season indica- tions did not hold such great promise. Using what veterans he had as a nucleus, however, Coach Adam turned out what was the heaviest and probably greatest line ever to wear the Maroon. Behind this was a light but speedy backiield of untried newcomers. In the Hrst game the team showed what might be expected by smothering a heavy but unpolished team from Williamson Trade School. The three succeeding games were all with formidable opponents and all resulted in Lower Merion victories. The low scores do not indicate the superiority displayed by Captain Pennypacker's eleven. After a comparatively easy win over Lansdowne came the crucial game of the season. Everyone was talking of a Suburban Championship again, for the team was now regarded as invincible. Once again Abington barred the way with an undefeated high-scoring team. In a bitter struggle with little to choose between the teams, Jack Rockwell scampered Hfty yards for the only score and a Lower Merion victory. The next two games saw the Maroon giving two suburban rivals the worst trouncings in recent years by rolling up top-heavy scores on Norristown and Upper Darby. Now it was expected to hand Radnor a terrible beating and thus end a remarkable season. Radnor had but one victory to show for the year, yet the week before the Lower Merion game Abington had been held to a 6-6 tie by the Wayne team. The annual game was held in the Villa Nova Stadium before a record crowd. Radnor had a surprisingly powerful team well imbued with the customary anti-Lower Merion spirit. The game resulted in a 12-12 deadlock. Despite this, Lower Merion was the outstanding team in the suburbs and retained the mythical Suburban Championship. Next year's team has an abundance of experienced material and under the joint leadership of Ridge and Rinehart should carry on successfully this year's record.

Manager Howard Lodge Lewis Meyers William Purring Louis Senn Richard Sigel Howard Thompson Noel Thompson Arthur Tuttle Gordon Wolf Coach SOCCER HE year 1930-31 was soccerls first season as a major sport at Lower Merion. Prospects were bright. Coach Helveston had a backheld, every man of which was entering his second or third year of varsity play. The forward line material was exceptionally small and this proved to be the team's weakness. Led by the aggressive Captain Fryberger the pony line would repeatedly carry the ball to the goal, but lacked the scoring punch. In the latter part of the schedule, Wren, a sophomore, was discovered and his scoring ability brought us several victories. The team opened with victories over Haverford College 3rd, and Haverford Prep. The strong Frankford High team then nosed out the Maroon, 1-0. The first league game of the year found Lower Merion trailing Abington, 2-0, at half time. A great rally brought victory to Lower Merion, 3-2. ' After trouncing Episcopal, the team went to Upper Darby and defeated the champions for the first time in history, taking first place in the league. Germantown Friends', champions of the Interacademic League, then handed the lllaroon the second and last defeat of the year. Following a victory over Southern, Lower Merion again met Abington and this time a desperate defense by the latter held the league leaders to a 1-1 deadlock. A victory over Overbrook and tie with Penn Charter brought the team to the big game with Upper Darby. A victory or tie would bring Lower Merion its first championship, while a loss would add another to the Purple and Gold's list of titles. Two goals by Wren put the Maroon ahead at half time, but Upper Darby scored in the third quarter and early in the fourth to tie the game up. Lower Merion managed to stave off the visitofs reckless attacks for the rest of the game to take the title. A victory over Chester and another over Haverford College 3rd, completed the schedule. , This was the greatest season soccer had ever enjoyed at Lower Merion. Virtually the entire team graduates, leaving Mr. Helveston and Captain Howard Lodge with an enviable record to uphold.

However, with Baker and Cross in running, business picked up. Miss Clark, a teacher at the Wynnewood Road School, Very kindly offered to coach the team when Miss Rambo could not be present. Much credit is due Miss Clark. Eleanor Eckles, the stalwart fullback, who never misses a shot, was the backbone of the team. She was helped out on the other side of the field by Kitty Fox, who scared everyone with her wicked shots. Jo Baker played a fine game the entire season, just as she does everything else she attempts. And we'll never forget Louise, who preferred her yellow Ford to riding over on the school bus. Judy Moore, as left inside was always there to send the ball over either to Kay,' or Lib, those well- known sisters. Staley was a very fast, little player. Maltby was very steady, but a little scrimmage almost ruined her thumb. And Hartley, ever faithful as goal guard, will never forget the time when a Lansdowne scored a goal over her head at the last minute. Sue Abemethy substituted for most any position in ine fashion. The two half-backs, Parvin and Sutherland, worked splendidly together. The manager, Catherine Miller, was very patient and did her Work very well in a quiet way. Although the season was not a howling success, it did create a friendliness among the girls which is, in itself, an advantage. We wish to thank Miss Clark and Miss Rambo for their untiring efforts and we know, that with several of the Varsity remaining, Lower Merion will have a Hue team next year.

They won four out of seven of their games. The first game was with Haverford. Though this was their first game it was the Haverfordians' fifth. The next two defeats followed in sequence, being the loss to both Swarthmore and Upper Darby. But the girls wouldn't quit. They proved to be made of different material. They fought on and on until at last-success. After handing Lansdowne a wonderful defeat, the girls showed the beginnings of team work. The work of the team was confirmed when defeats were handed to Collingdale, Glen-Nor and Radnor. The game with Radnor proved to be a wonderful ending for a season. The score being 47-16g forty-one of the points were made by Jo Baker, the only girl on the varsity team in 1930 to return. With only one remaining from the previous year it was a question to find a forward to play with Jo. The team, as a Whole, showed a steady increase in its ability to play as a unit. Of course, it must be realized that girls' rules are highly technical and the ability to make baskets is only one factor. Marie Byrde got the tap off in nearly all the games and Annette Bergeron saw to it that the ball was sent directly to the forwards. But in case the ball went in the opposite direction Barbara Sutherland, Captain, and Eleanor Eckles soon sent it back again to the forwards. It is impossible to mention all the other girls who showed great unit work along with the rest of the team. Eleanor Eckles was elected Captain of the team at the beginning of the season, but after a short while resigned the post to Barbara Sutherland. Barbara and Eleanor both showed good leadership and sportsmanship in the terms as captains. RosE WEIGEL, Manager. 4 Page One Hundred One T BASKETBALL LETTER MEN JAMES TURNER . . .

Minus four members of last yearis great quintet, not so much was expected of Captain Turner's team. The loss of the opening game to Episcopal seemed to be the beginning of the end of Lower Merion's long reign on the court. The team thought differently, however, and came back to win every other game on the schedule, making thirty or more points in every contest. This great winning streak made the Maroon once more monarch of the Suburbs, a typical Anderson-coached team. Page One Hundred Two LOWER MERION NINETEENgTHIRTY-ONE --0 il ' ' ISI-, 1-w Probably the greatest performance of the year was the 40-9 trouncing handed Friends, Central. This team, conqueror of Episcopal, was undefeated champion of the Interacademic League. y Throughout the season, sickness and injuries hampered the Maroon, but the material was more than equal to the need. A team composed entirely of substitutes defeated Radnor, 35-17, Blair having twenty points. The Lower Merion forwards, Pennypacker and Eaton, finished in that order in the League, scoring for first and second places. Next yearfs hopes will fall mainly on this year's Junior Varsity, which matched the record of the Varsity for the season. As a climax to the regular season the team again entered the P. I. A. A. Tourna- ment and emerged as Eastern Pennsylvania Champions and runners-up for the State crown for the second consecutive time. Opening with a nerve-racking victory after two extra periods over Palrnerton, the Maroon then conquered Allentown and Mahanoy City to gain the District No. 1 title. Nanticoke, District No. 2 champs, were nosed out at Hazleton, and Williamsport, kings of Districts Nos. 3 and 4, were trounced at the Palestra, bringing the winning streak to twenty-two. The team then journeyed to Pittsburgh to meet Scott High, the western champions, for the title. The Maroon held a 14-11 edge at halftime, but faltered and lost by a decisive score. The team had traveled over a thousand miles during the tournament and was in no condi- tion to cope with Scott, hailed as the greatest team produced in the West in twelve years.

The girls gave their best to represent Lower Merion in this worthy field. Upper Darby suffered its first defeat when Lower Merion's water demons came through with a splashing victory. This was due to Mildred Evans, Who certainly captained the team well. We all remember the speed of Kitty Schofield and Judy Moore, which was destined, together with the splendid diving of Evans, Megee, and Wilson, to make the season a success. Fretz, Landis, McNichol, and Miller were the mermaids who contributed their winning strokes to the team's success. The team is well on its way for the Suburban Championship and will most likely succeed under the guiding hand of their coach, Miss Nicholson.

In the quadrangular meet of the Main Line League Lower Merion avenged this upset by taking first place in no uncertain fashion. This was the team's best performance. Since swimming is ranked as a minor sport at Lower Merion, this was indeed an impressive record. Page One Hundred F ive RICHARD SIGEL . MCCARTHY HANGER ALBERT C. ADAM .

In soft refrain, A village church pealed out eleven strokes. She counted them on fingers stif with pain. Two thousand years ago, on this same night, A Babe was born of Mary, Virgin mild. If my babe has the honor of his feast, Dear Lord, I beg Thee, give me a male child, To fill my heart for him whom Thou didst call. He is with Thee,-I bear alone this task. Oh! Grant this prayer, dear Lord, in this Thine hour, As Thou didst say Thou wouldst, did we but ask. I knew the day that he went of to war, That he would ne'er return, he knew it, too, For as he left, he whispered, soft and low, 'Our babe a boy will be, a man for you.' Why was he called, my Lord, why was it he? He who should leave a wife and child bereaved? There are a thousand others who have none To sorrow for them,-none who would have grieved. I must not cry, dear Lord. Thy will be done. But, if Thou pitiest this human race, Grant my request, Lord, on Thy birthday night, And give a son to me to take his place. She fell, at last, exhausted, into sleep, And in her dreams she saw her husband stand Beside a manger, in which lay a Child, The Child looked up and smiled, and raised Its hand. At twelve, across the meadows came the chimes, The Lord is born, they cried, the Lord most fair. And now His angels sing in chorus strong, 'O Peace on earth, good will towards men for e'er!' ,' She heard, and smiled, and raised her head towards heaven, And in her arms she held her child, her son! SUZANNA Hom. Page One Hundred Eight LITIZIUATIIIIEW .Neither Do l Condemn Theen E WAS a good man, they tell me. Descended from one of the early Penn- sylvania Quakers. A Quaker himself. Lived out along the Brandywine. . Thomas Rees married Mabby Roberts, a member of the Birmingham Meeting, about 1754 or 5. The records of their marriage are incomplete. A son, David, was born. Their only child. Thomas Rees prospered on his farm and became an influential person in Chester County. The French and Indian War was fought and that long series of taxations set in upon America. Not least among the opponents of these measures was Thomas Rees. He wrote several pamphlets-after the manner of the day-sent letters to newspapers, and generally opposed the policy of the Crown. They lived well on their farm on the Brandywine-so well that Thomas was able to send his boy away to New York to school. That was about 1772. New York was always the most loyal of the cities in British America. It was up in New York that Governor Tryon and Mayor Matthews hatched that damnable plot to poison General Washington. It was Governor Tryon, the Tory Nero, who burned- But that is neither here nor there. David did well in his studies and his father was pleased with the progress until late in the year of 17 7 4 when he received from his son a letter which read in part: Sensible though I am to your convictions, and aware of the affection and regard which is due you as my father, I cannot forbear expressing to you, Sir, the feelings which have of late come to me in regard to measures adopted by the British Crown . . . I feel that they are just and necessary and that any attempt upon the part of our countrymen to render them nought is the basest treason to his most gracious Majesty . . . In my opinion, Sir, it is the grossest ingratitude to agitate, as many of our countrymen are now doing, against the Parliament. It was a blow. Thomas Rees was a man whose every care had been for his coun- try. He had put America and the welfare of America above all-even, I suspect, above his God. He spoke to his wife of their son's sympathies. Mabby wrote to her sister of the anger into which Thomas has fallen, and which, I pray, will be donev. But the old man was not paciiied, neither by time nor reason. Time seemed only to aggravate the wound which his son's letter had caused him, brooding over the deed provoked him to sullen fury. Mabby went to her sister's home during the Winter. Thomas wrote to his son, and David replied that as he was now approaching manhood, he saw no reason for blindly following the principles set down by others. Thomas found it hard to realize that his son was no longer a boy, but still harder was it to swallow his son's ingratitude. The Winter passed and Spring bloomed and one day late in April came the news that Lexington and Concord had been fought and that an army of New Englanders was gathering in Cambridge. Thomas wrote to his son pointing out to him the fact that their own countrymen had been killed by British troops. David replied to the effect that it served them right for being so brash as to attempt to impose their will upon that of his Britannic Majesty. Mabby Rees' letters were always careful to avoid any discussion of policy. She, too, was hurt and pained that her son had sympathized with the British. She suffered, too, at the hands of the members of the Meeting, who had already begun to regard her as a seditious person. But Mabby was not disturbed. And that silence and fortitude provoked further unkindnesses. On May 10, Congress met in Philadelphia. Immediately it organized itself into various committees, and early the next month, the Committee of Safety called for Page One Hundred Ten LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE ...qv- l,, HE fy... Thomas Rees. He was instructed to act as a secret agent, using his membership in the Meeting as a blind for his activities. Thomas Rees had two Gods and America was not the lesser. Before the summer was up, David had enlisted with the British-the inevitable result of his surroundings. But there was no ill-considered outburst from his father. Thomas spent no time in vain regrets, in useless curses, or fruitless words. He sat down and wrote to his son that his action forced the severance of all relations with his parents. It was a terrible letter, but it was not composed in a moment of anger. So firm was it that not even a mother dared to disobey it. A year rolled by. Independence was declared. Another year passed. Burgoyne was descending the Hudson. It was two years since any word had been received of David Rees. Before the month of August was out, Lord Howe had landed his army at Head of Elk. The American Army advanced to defend the capital. They met on the banks of the Brandywine. Thomas Rees had been called by General Wayne, his neighbor and friend. Mabby Rees was alone in her house when September 11 dawned. The firing began, and soon she saw the wounded carried away from the battlefield. Blood makes the sanest of men fools. Mabby Rees began to run. She didnit know where, but just ran, walked, stumbled, until she found herself at Birmingham Meeting. There were soldiers there, the women dressing their wounds. Hardly noticed, Mabby fell to work. She bound up many a gash and laid a sheet over many a rigid face. H It was late in the afternoon when Mabby was helping in a few more wounded soldiers. They were British-most of them young. She had washed severalg their wounds were being tended. She turned to another, began to Wash, stopped, dropped her rags, turned to one of the women, and said, Bury him by the wall. 'f She walked out of the church to her house. Thomas Rees was there. He had managed to spare a few moments during the retreat, but had to be with the army in ten minutes so that he might lead a part of it to Chester. She spoke. He seemed not to understand. She repeated deadly. Thomas slumped in his chair. The two sat one facing the other. The confusion of retreating men approached. Mabby moved and spoke, Thee must go. ', UNO. They need thee. ,' No, But thee promised- Thomas led the army to Chester. Six weeks later he was dead. They laid him by the wall of the Burying Ground, near a young grave on the stone of which he had carved: DAVID REES 1756-1777 'Neither do I condemn thee'. WHITFIELD J. BELL, JR., March 21, 1931. Page One Hundred Eleven LOWER MERION NINEIEEN THIRTY-ONE ...sg QI lg qs... A Pen For indispensable Pens HAVE a distaste for pens. I mean pens in general, which I hold a real menace to peace and friendship, both national and international. They are fickle, un- principled betrayers. For doesnit a man grab one up and pour through it all his most sacred and innermost thoughts, while the pen quite slyly records them Cbadly enough it is truej for the unappreciative eyes of countless plebeian rabble? And then doesn't he settle comfortably back in his holder to dry out in the sun all the while re- joicing at the evil he has done? The most oH'ensive pen that I have ever known is the one with which I began this feeble manuscript. It was purple in color Ccertain purple shades positively revolt mej and I distrusted it from the first, partly for its color and partly for an air of self-satisfaction which hung around it. What right has a pen to be purple? It was an evil thing. The very first word I wrote it misspelled, then it began to sputter and scratch at the paper in a most vulgar and ill-mannered way, finally it refused to write at all. Might I say that I have put it from me Qmay it dwell in dark- nessb, and taken up one of its relatives which is scarcely less malicious and which seems intent upon avenging the indignities to which I subjected its predecessor. Pens, aside from their multitude of sins, have a most exasperating habit of never being present at the place and time of need. Fountain pens are noticeably worse in this respect than the less aristocratic quills. I believe it is because of their highly developed and never curbed temperaments. Mine, which I have grown surprisingly fond of, considering my cold nature, and its price, which I hesitate to disclose lest my poor pen shrivel in shame, has driven me not only to the point of insanity but almost to utter ruin by its conspicuous absence upon several occasions. Now this sort of thing cannot go on. I had thought of a plan of tying it to me, which might work. But then when someone wanted to borrow said pen I would either have to untie it or go along with it, which would be most disconcerting. Perhaps if the string were long enough I could allow the borrower to take the pen away. VVhen I wanted it again I would merely have to haul in on the string or play the labyrinth game and follow the string. Either situation, however, would have its disadvantages. Imagine the results of hauling a fountain pen out Mr. Nash's door, up the steps, through Mr. Davis', down the hall, and into Miss Holland's room. Someone would be bound to close a door on the string. Then We must consider the indignity done to the pen. My pen wouldn't stand for it. It would just run out of ink at the first opportune moment. It hates to be borrowed anyhow! I spent some time wondering why someone couldn't invent a pen that would follow its master about much like a dog will, also why a pen couldn't be invented that would Write without ink, without any fuel, one that would just write and let it go at that. All this, however, is but idle speculation. The plan that I have finally hit upon is that of constructing a little pen for my pen, alittle iron cage in which there is no door so that my culprit could not possibly escape. Now calm yourself, I am perfectly aware that if there were no door I couldnit get the pen in, but I have gotten around that. One end of the cage is to be open and what is more I was thinking that perhaps I wouldn't put the pen in anyway. It certainly couldn't escape if there were no door in the cage. There is but one trouble with my plan-I am sure that I would forget where I put the cage. STEPHEN MCCORMICK. Page One Hundred Twelve LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE ....4. ip- IE gf... Chemistry in Modern Life DON'T BREAK THE TEST TUBE D0 not pretend to write this as an authority on chemistry, but merely as a mem- ber of a fourth period English class. Chemistry certainly plays an all-important part in modern life. Our shoes are tanned, our clothes and hair are dyed, some of our food is synthetic, some of our drinks too, our homes and automobiles are painted, and our faces, our teeth are brushed, and our hair is parted on the left side. I might add that many of our faces are clean, and cleanliness involves soap, and soap is nothing but sodium carbonate, N2aCO3. plus animal or vegetable fats, and more than likely, plus something else. Speaking of our clothes being dyed, did you ever think that a blue suit in a dark room, pitch dark incidentally, might not be blue at all? It might be black, or green, or pink, or anything at all. You canft tell what color it is because there isnit any light. Straw hats are bleached with sulphurous acid. Now sulphurous acid is HZSO3, and sulphuric acid is HZSO4. You may see that in the first case there is a three,' after the 0, and in the second, there is a four ,'. Since O represents an atom of oxygen, you should readily agree that sulphuric acid has one atom of oxygen that sulphurous acid does not. Now herefs the catch. Sulphurous acid has an awful yearning for that extra atom of oxygen, so that it can make itself into its big brother, sulphuric acid. And when it gets near anything with some loose oxygen, little brother sulphurous just naturally snatches it. This is the case with straw. The discoloring in the straw is due to oxygen, partly, and when the sulphurous acid takes this oxygen for its own greedy purpose-presto! your hat is bleached. There is another angle to this, however. After our shiny, new hat is worn around in the air for awhile, with plenty of fresh, uncombined oxygen flitting all about it, it feels a longing for its long-lost element, and proceeds to adopt some. It's about then that you feel you need a new straw hat. Now if they had used chlorine- CHARLES LUEDERS. G56 .

Needless to say I was a bit upset -in jail quite suddenly and for apparently no reason, and worst of all, the accustomeddignity entirely gone.

Hi-ha, Mac,', said Lew, daintily running his thumb along the edge of the cleaver. Whatis the racket? Dunnof' said I trying to sound indifferent.

Therewas Louise Cross walking down the hall with Franny Parvin and Isabelle Fretz grouped on either side of her.

The story ran that the club, a cosmopolitan New York establishment had been raided by New York police under Commissioner Berry and all present including, hostesses, waiters, orchestra and guests.

Reporter Azpell states that Miss Dunham's only remark was, Aw, Iive been railroaded, while Miss Cross laughingly cried, Give the little girl a hand! The night club affair was so intriguing that I decided to delve further. Jim Donnelly, Big Beer Baron, who claims to be able to put away ninety-seven beers at a sitting, and Pal Dolan helped me with identities.

Marie Byrde had charge of the check room, while Bibbins Taylor, resplendent in a gorgeous creation Qbought in Bryn lNIawrj of red and gold and violet, was door man.

I must confess that I became quite excited over my lists. My tranquility, however, was suddenly shattered for along came Light Weight Champion Burdo with manager Gabriella. Mr. Burdo evidently didn,t like my looks for he took a cut at me landing a nasty blow on my little finger.

But, Doctor, I gasped weakly, it's my fingerli' Doctor Alburger appeared as if by magic- If the curve of space be multiplied by x-y- he mumbled peering into a test tube. Then he gave my finger a wicked wrench- Professor Lueders! he shrieked, come here at once, and Charlie came puffing into my cell, very white. Look! cried Alburger, again twisting my finger. By George, Professor, you are right! cried Charlie. Time mixed with H4OGH2x will produce an explosion after all! and the two of them rushed out talking excitedly. I'll fix your finger, said a voice, as I was about to pass out, and Peg Warner entered, wrapped the injured member in a handkerchief, patted me on the head, and bounced out again.

The prison gates swung open and a huge town car Ca Bott, Baird and King designj flashed into the court followed by mounted police and carloads of oflicials.

Yea!,, said Dorothy Mackell from another cell, I gotta have eats. Watta ya'spect a lady to do, starve? Holy cats, what a bunch a' patookas! Bring me a order of steak 'n' onions! Her cellmates, Katherine McCartan and Catherine Miller, echoed similar sentiments, although in a less gentle manner. The dinner gong sounded, the cell doors swung open automatic- ally, and we fell into orderly lines to march to lunch fthe order and system were strongly reminiscent of old days at L. MJ. The lunch room was a huge room Hlled with long tables and benches Cno swinging doors D. On all sides were familiar faces. I hate to bore you with names, but it is really my duty to tell of the shocking con- ditions-such table manners! I just wanted to scold each one separately-Imagine, Dick McCurdy's eating caviar with a spoon! R. E. Cogswell stood behind a counter turning flapjacks, while nearby Arthur Finigan peeled pomegranates, and Bill Harris carved figures out of carrots. Isabel Ingram was putting the finishing touches on a lovely beet salad. At one table were Eleanor Eckles Cwith a monaclel, Mildred Evans Qswimming in gravyj, Mary Fear, Ted Ketterer fshooting baskets with peas and a doughnutj, Jim Henry, George Morgan,Fred Reichelle Qtalking French with his mouth fullb, 'Bettie McDermott Csucking spaghetti through a strawj, Judy Moore and -Bob Sutherland Ccarving initials in the tablej, Bob Graham Qwriting on the cloth and kicking someone under the tablel, Peg Glasspool, Ruth Lebo Cobscured behind a butter-ballj, George Knapp, Rebecca Malcolmson, Jane Powell, Ethel Rogers, and Harry Rambo Cthrowing spit-ballsj. Loud claps were heard from a far Page One Hundred Eighteen LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE ...4 gag gi gm. corner of the room as Johnnie Pennypacker sat down in a pool of salad dressing CJohnnie will be remembered as a famous college athletej. Bob McConaghy sat next to Johnnie eating soup with a demi-tasse spoon. Others at the table were: Bill McGarvey Qretired safe cracker, trying vainly to break a rollj, Linny McCoy and Mal Fryberger Cstabbing each other with forksj, Gertrude Hoder Cmaking a design with her spinachj, Bettie Hartley fmaking an after-dinner speech-audience paying no attention. Bettie was a good gold-bricki' saleswoman, while she lastedj, Helen Hood Qlooking intelligentj, and the Smith Clan, John, Latimer, Louis, Bob, Bill and Harry ftrying to figure eight different ways of spelling the name-the Smiths made money until someone discovered arsenic in their cough dropsj. At a nearby table sat Helen Staley Cmaking everything in sight, including several waitersj, Jim Storm fstorming-Jim mixed too much sand in his cementj, Gordon Wolf Cdrawing waterl, Wesley Watt Cchattering gaily-Wes added up some National Bank figures wrongj, Joyce Trenholme fweighing 200 lbs.J, Rose Alexander, Madeline Devine, Tom Casey Chatting potato cakes with a soup spoonb, Edith Funk Cdoing lessonsj, Elmer Gillespie fswearingj, and Marjory McGeorge. My attention was diverted quite rudely and suddenly by a great clatter outside. The door was thrown open and in came absolute multitudes of policemen led by Director Berry. New York Police, said Sergeant Hollenbach, in answer to my question. Whole force sent up for accepting bribes! Meet Lieutenant McAllister and Captain Vander Veur. I knew them both and lots of others. The whole force seemed to be from L. M.-Bob Adams, Meredith Colket Cdetectivej, Larry Carver, George Hopkins falias Hop, the Dope-he accepted more bribes than the whole force added togetherj, Bill Jackson, Matt McConnell, Walt Mullen, Charlie Shaw, Bill Purring CCaptain of vice squadj, Vince Parks, Jay Thomas fkiller Thomas-terror of the Boweryj, Dick Winger, Louis Senn and Frank Warner. A lustier crew never policed a city before. He's here! He is hereli' shrieked someone, and in dashed Jo Ludlow, surrounded by Charlotte Chambers and Eleanor Kavanagh, followed by Marj McGeorge and Muriel Killey, all screaming- He's here! He's here! ii Who's here? I asked. Idge! yelled Jo, grabbing Catherine Purcell and doing a turn around the room. Idge here! Imagine that-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in jail! At that moment he came in-much long black robe, etc., followed by other Justices. Not a bad little place, he remarked nonchalantly to Justice Odiorne, Stop that, Murray!', he said to Justice Patton, who at the moment was lifting the warden's watch, that,s how we got here! Justice Bill McIntyre and Harry Taylor grabbed Patton and transferred him to a nearby cell, while Justices Clarence Wolf and Dick Williams succeeded in actually lifting said watch. Justice Rose Weigel first woman in the Supreme Courtj munched a peppermint. with one hand and stole the warden's shirt with the other. It suddenly occurred to me, while watching Rose that I didn't belong here among all these hardened criminals, in fact, I had had one shock after another ever since arriving. I decided to do something about it. I really hadn't the slightest idea what one does about such things, but immediately, as if in answer to a prayer, Whitfield J. Bell, Jr., famous shyster lawyer, entered carrying several large and deadly looking volumes. Bob Blair followed him in, also carrying Page One Hundred Nineteen LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE ...qt 0 l a-... volumes Clater discovered to be Snappy Storiesnjg following them came dozens of people in secretarial garb, Kathryn Barrow Cwearing gogglesj, Mary Censore, Grace Childs fcarrying a portable typewriterj, Jane Chamness Ccarrying a Scotty j, Jeanette Davis Claughing brown eyes in evidencej, Mary Barrow, Mary Dunlap Csketching madlyj, Lois Creely, and Kathryn BeZater. Hey, you, said Bell, meet my secretariesf' I bowed, secretaries bestowed frigid glances. And.listen, went on Bell, you can't avoid the Law. Ethen Burgoyne crossed the Delaware in 1403, therefore you are guilty ! Ethen Burgoyne did no such thing, you old fool ! U shrieked Blair. This man is not guilty!,' Bell turned to me, drew himself to his full height, pointed an accusing finger full in my face- My dear fellow, That is Treason! he screamed Qhere Annette Bergeron entered dressed as Liberty and assumed a majestic pose while Edith Van Doren waved a flag and cheered CEdith was sent up for shoplifting three years agoj. To get back to my case, Blair decided to have a jury Knot that anybody wanted onej, so a jury was selected-William Price, Foreman, Helen McWade Ceating peanutsj, Isabelle McFarland Qapplying make-up D, Dorothy Masciangelo, Ruth Maltby, Helen Miller Qdressed in a new Paris Creation for crimi- nalsj, Marge O'Brien Qalias Frenchy O'Brien-forgeressj, Elvira Palsir, Dot Newman, Don Munro fblowing soap bubblesj, Margaret Sheller, William Newborg, and Howard Thompson Cthirteenth juror thrown in for luckb. Someone made the mistake of calling for Mr. Thompson, whereupon Bob, Howard, and Noel had a iight over who was to go. Noel got away first. Judge Sherwood rapped the gavel for silence. Martin Vassallo popped up and announced the case while Mary Slete satin the back of the court room, her feet upon the back of a chair dabbing away at an oil color of Judge Sherwood fa venerable looking eggj. Ethel Ryder, Helen Scanlon, and Catherine Tunnell were the first witnesses. All three accused me of different things and were finally dismissed for arguing. Helen Louise Thomas and Ray Wilson who had been arguing all during the case over who was the tougher CRay all the while taking notes on everything in generalj, were just about to testify when I became a bit dizzy Clifelong habitj and saw Miss Major leaning over me with a Very worried expression on her face. I was touched. Absolutely 'Nuts'! said a voice in the crowd behind Miss Major. Yes,', said Mr. Africa, I fear that this Year Book work has deranged him some- what. Miss Major smiled maternally and ran her fingers through my hair, It's all right now, she said, Those write-upsiblew out the window!', THE END Page One Hundred Twenty Lowsn MERION NINETEEN 'FHIRTY-ONE -L--Q mu- ue: in-- LEGACY 1 E, THE Lower Merion High School Class of 1931, being of sound mind - and body, do make this, our last will and testament.
