Q DEDICATIC This, the thirty-fourth volume of the KARUX, is dedicated with heartfelt affection to HENRY BUCHER SWOOPE, of the Class of 1900. As a student in a previous generation, his record was very fine. He stood upon the honor roll. He was a star debater, and he took interest in all forms of athletics. As a leader in undergraduate days, his influence was strong, unquestioned, and always for good. As the President of the Alumni Council, his energy has been constant, and his advice wise and helpful. The growing loyalty of the alumni to the Academy has been due as much to his efforts as to those of any other person. As a member of the Board of Regents, his counsel and gifts have been heartening to every friend of the school. As an alumnus, he has abiding faith in the Academy and what it stands for in the world of education. He sent four of his sons to be enrolled here as a proof of that faith. As the donor of our carillon of fortyfthree bells, he has made the largest gift received by the institution in its history of ninety-one years. The Chapel itself is very beautiful, but until the carillon and the organ were placed therein, it had no voice. The sweet-toned bells, which will be a glorious memorial to Mr. Swoope and his family, will sing their way into the heart of every Mercersburg boy enrolled here through hundreds of years to come. Everyone connected with the school, and the entire countryside for many miles, owe a debt to Mr. Swoope which they cannot repay. This volume is affectionately dedicated in his honor. I FCREWQRD HFILLED with events which happen only once in a lifetime, the year 1926-1927 has been a notable one in the history of Merc- ersburg. To record these significant occur- rences, therefore, has been the aim of the 1927 KARUX. But it has tried to do more than thatg it has tried to produce in words and in pictures the more intimate life of the school, incidents which are too often crowded into oblivion by more stirring ex- periences. 'jlSeen through the mist of fast-increasing years, youth assumes a beauty and a strength which keep us young. When you feel that you are forgetting, therefore, turn the pages of this volume and live again your days at Mercersburg. ifqff' - Q . '. -- F1 '- n 0 . . .

VVe have something that will remain with us as we push ahead to further accomplishments and devel- opment. And though we are forced to Say goodbye to many dear friends, to leave behind many pleasant and beneficial associations, we carry with us memories which we shall cherish and which will bring us back often in thought and perhaps in person to Mercersburg. School life has done much for all of us. Each of us in his own way has grown. As we leave, we Hnd ourselves the possessors of greater confidence in ourselves and our abilities, those abilities themselves have broadened and developed, and we go out greater in experience, with a broader knowledge of life and of our fellows. We feel also that, while we have been helped, we have also done constructive work, that as we have grown, so we have helped the school to grow. And as we leave, may we pause to wish that those who take our places may be as greatly aided in their growth and development as we have been, and to express to all our benefactors at Mercersburg our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude.

In preparation for this he will major in science at Princeton this coming fall.

' Brud would be unnat- ural if there were not a sly saying on his lips or a smile on his face, and he has a life and vim not common as a rule to freshmen. There is no danger of threats wor- rying him, for there is plen- ty of music in his soul, as shown by his position in the musical clubs. All his abil- ity is not in this line of work, for we also find him dabbling in numerous ath- lctics. Princeton Has any one ever seen Nick without his usual broad smile? We'l1 frankly admit that we have never met him thus, for he always has a pleasant word for all his friends who are by no means few in number.

Being Editor-in-Chief of the Karux is a big job, but there is a really capable man filling the position in the person of John Reno. John was a member of the Karux board last year, and he is known about the cam- pus as a conscientious work- er. This alone is enough to insure the success of the Karux for this year. John has shown his inter- est in track work, first as a member of the squad, then by becoming in succession Assistant Manager and Man- ager. Dartmouth CHARLES HAYWARD ROBERTS Allentown, Pa.

Roberts is one of the real New Englanders of the school, one whose faculties are directed toward the more serious things of life. He is quite a philosopher, if you want to find out any- thing about Kant or Scho- penhauer or Spinoza, just look up Roberts. Bert has also a love of athletics. VVhenever the courts are in condition, you will find him there holding sway, or, if the air will not permit, the track invites him. Robbie should make a great success in the line of literature, for We have had much evidence of his talent in this direction.

Some people are musical, some think they are, and still others try to be, but while some of each group succeed, the only ones who are usually worth while in the field of music are the members of the first class mentioned.

As a little fellow we saw him dashing about on the Spider Teams.

The slang expression which best characterizes 'Bill is a live wire. This not only includes athletics, but also extends to class room work. Df6klI1.YflIL Ned is a very little fel- low, but every inch of him is more active than several inches on an average fel- low. He is a man through and through no matter in what light one looks at him. Behind his fine work in classes we know that there is plenty of ability and hard work.

Yes, he reads 'em all-Freud, Nietzche, Schopenhauer, etc. He says he owes it all to Mr. Larsen. 5'Jerry and his pal, Stein- bach, are as inseparable as the well-known Asiatic kids -they even carried it so far as to be tied in their schol- astic averages for the Fall Term. French flows easily from the lips of Westy,,' and he undoubtedly uses this talent to bewilder the fair maidens of Ardmore.

His life on the campus has been a pleasant one, on account of the numerous associations that he has made while here in school. All of this pop- ularity is due to his true geniality and humorous dis- position. Scholastically, Syd', is one of those faithful plod- ders who always succeed in anything they attempt. He has the highest princi- also ples of life, not only in mind also in the determina- but tion to follow them out.

You need only to give him half a chance and you too will fall prey to his winning per- sonality. VVoodie has made his studies just one success after another.

Bob is equally able to fill that po- sition. In the three years that he has been with us, Bob has done some fine work not only as a baseball player but in wielding a tennis racquet. Since he is of a quiet na- ture, it takes some little time really to become ac- quainted with him, but judging by the number of friends he has made, many have found his silver lining.

Secretary WILLIAM BARTON BEEsoN, JR. Treasurer - WILLIAM ADD1soN WILSON Historian - - EDWARD BROMELL ACE PRESIDENT COFFIN History of the Upper Micldler Class , WVith the passing of the old and the coming of the new, the Class of 1928 with reasonable pride may prophesy that the position left to us when the seniors are graduated will be more than satisfactorily fulfilled. With a confidence that is not unfounded we look forward to the prestige and responsibility of a senior class, and we state that we shall endeavor to equal, if possible surpass, the dignity and high ideals left to us. Our prelude is not a phantasy, for there are virtually no activities in the school which are not in a large part supplied by our members. On the athletic field our prowess is enviable, for, of the football and swimming teams, our classmates are obviously in the majority. On the football team we boast of such eminent, players as Wilson and Berlingerg on the swimming team Wago, Gordon, and Coflin are effi- cient point winners. Riley, as President of the Irving Society and the Y. M. C. A., and as a senate member, is a man of outstanding prominence in the school life. Cofiin, the President of our class, is another conspicuous man of honor. Bates and Frank are probably the finest singers of the Choir and Glee Club. On the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, the KARUX Board, the NEWS Board, and THE FIFTEEN, we are ably repre- sented. Need there be more proof of our inherent capacity than this? Lofty aspirations are ours, and to the traditions and renown of our school we shall sincerely endeavor to add a part more than adequate in the history of Mercersburg. HISTORIAN 91 I X. jfx 1 lg!

Treasurer - VVILLIAM DANIEL KERN Historian HUGHES THURSTON ANGELL PRESIDENT FLEMING Lower Midcller Class History The Lower Middler Class this year is one of the largest in the history of the school. The majority of the members of the class are new boys, having entered Mercersburg for the first time last September. Every section of the country is represented by the class of ,29. Our class has been active in every line of extra-curriculum activity: athletics, publications, and music, besides many other manifold interests that are to be found in Prep school life. Cochrane, Dufford, Forrester, Neff, Peterson, Rapp, Ross, Schieble, and VVilson are listed on the varsity football team. Bennett, Burgett, Mickle, and Otto represent the class in track. VVade and Wilson carry the colors of the class of '29 on the diamond, while Angell and the Cummings brothers are on the gym team. The class has made a fine showing during 1926-27, but we hope to achieve greater heights before graduating in '29. If the class can always maintain the true spirit of Mercersburg, we will surely have success in our undertakings. HISTORIAN. 97 N 479k lfvl r r 1-we . RA I-wit Hu.: Q WLM. rl ,EDJ A .

Treasurer - ROBERT EARL HPINDERSON Hi-9f0rilm - - JAMES KEIL JIYOHE PRESIDENT KLINE Junior Class History This year the Junior Class is smaller than in previous years, but undoubtedly we have been as active and, perhaps, more so, than some of the upper classes. The class is composed mainly of fellows that are new and are just starting into the melee of preparatory school life. VVell represented on the field of athletics, we hope that in a few years we will constitute the main part of the teams that support the fine athletic record that Mercersburg has won. The class is represented in football by Jackson, who was assistant manager of the Varsity in '26, by Hutton and Neff, who were on the Varsity, and Roulette and C. W. Swoope, who played on the third team. Mylkes, Cosio, and Vazquez are our representatives in track, while Henderson is on the wrestling team. Nearly half the class tried out for, or were on the Spider foot- ball team, and several made the Spider swimming team. The class is represented on the NEWVS Board by Davis and Kidwell, while members are in both the Glee Club and Choir. This year the class has made a good beginning on both the athletic Held and in the class room, and we hope that in 1930 we will be one of the best senior classes that Mercersburg has ever known.

WILLIAM LIANN IRVINE MR. ROY TNIONTGOMERY ANDREW MR. ARCHIBALD HAMILTON RUTLEDGE MR. HERBERT MORGAN RUBLEE The Mercersburg Academy Senate is undoubtedly the most eminent society On the campus and the One most esteemed by the members of the student body. It is through this organization that a medium is established between the faculty and the students, and all existing evils are made known and Overcome. Not only does this illustrious society include leaders in all other forms of campus activities, but also the Head Master and several of the Faculty. The members are chosen in such a way that the society is easily called the government of the school. Of the ten student members, one is chosen by the Senior Class, three, two Upper Middlers and one Lower Middler, are elected by the stu- dent bodyg two are elected by the Faculty, two are chosen by the Head Master, and two are chosen by the Faculty members of the Senate. Of the Faculty mem- bers, two are elected by the student body and two are chosen by the Head Master. Since 1905, when it was founded, the members have fully realized the impor- tance of their work and have made great accomplishments for the gratihed students. By their earnest work and sincerity the Senate has become the nucleus and foun- dation Of the traditions and ideals of the school.

RUTLEDGE A membership in the Mercersburg Fifteen is the peak of English achievement in the Academy and the chief aim of those students who have shown themselves most proficient in their English Work. The society is composed of those fifteen students who have proved themselves worthy of the honor, a number of the faculty, and several honorary members. The general topic chosen for the year 1926-1927 is 'fGreat English Poets of the Eighteenth Century. During the meetings papers prepared by two of the members on the life and works of the poet who is the subject for discussion are read before the assembly. After a short discussion the meeting adjourns for refresh- ments, two of the other members acting as hosts for the evening. Since its beginning the society has tended to inspire the students to work and hope for the great honor that a membership makes apparent. JAMES R.

TWIORELAND Advisory Board DR. VVILLIAM RIANN IRVINE DR. CALVIN A. BROWN MR. VVILLIAM DOLYGLAS MR. F. R. CASSELMAN The Y. M. C. A. holds an important part in a boy's life in the Academy. The meetings, which are held every Sunday night in the Chapel, are only a part of the societyis work. At the beginning of the year the organization distributed their handbooks, which have proved to be a guide, not only to the new men but also the old men from year to year. Early in the fall, after issuing a call, they were most successful in obtaining a very high percentage of the students as members. Later, old clothes were collected under its auspices and sent to Mount Alto, a sanitarium not far from the school. At some time or other during the year four types of meetings are held. The society as part of its energetic work arranges for prominent out-of-town speakers to come and address the organization. At other times faculty members or two of the students speak. Also open discussions are held by the fellows themselves, at which certain topics are discussed. Every year the society sends a delegation to the annual Y. M. C. A. Blairstown Conference. Last year Cobey, '27, attended the conference, and through his ener- getic work returned and summarized the important facts at a meeting at the open- ing of the year. The society wishes to continue this fine work and send a larger delegation this year. JAMES R.

Q . - !5HG .li !!lI'MJl l l The Musical Clubs The three most prominent musical organizations in school are the Glee Club, Choir, and,,,,the School Orchestra. The Choir this year is Mercersburg's first, and it has, indeed, done much to make our Sunday services so beautiful. The Glee Club and the School Orchestra give two excellent concerts during the school year, one during the spring term and the other as a Commencement feature. All three of these organizations are picked by elimination, and so represent the best musical talent in the school. The Qlee Club Ice Preszdeni . - - - BASIL D. ROBINSON JOHN H. BROXVN - - DR. VV. M.

VVith this came Mercersburg's Hrst Choir, of which she can be supremely proud. To train a group of boys for such a showing as they made on their premier performance is no small task to accomplish in two weeksg but these boys have many times since re- peated just such a wonderful showing as they made on that day, and they should be proud for having made such an example to be followed by the many Mercers- burg Choirs which will follow it in the years to come.

GILLIES Since 1865 the VVashington Irving Literary Society, at that time known as the Mercersburg Literary Society, has always stood for the highest ideas of manhood typified by the motto of Mercersburg, hard work, fair play, and clean life. Not only on the debating stage, but in all forms of literary activities has Irving estab- lished a proud record. Its rival, the Marshall Society, was founded in 1866, one year later, and in 1900 was inaugurated the system which has made the Annual Debate the most important single event of each year. Under this regime Irving has won fourteen of the twenty-five debates. She is proud of this record, proud of the teams that have represented her, and of the ever ready support of all of her members. Above all, she is proud of her fidelity to the ideals of manliness and honor. J. H.

Secretary - OscAR GUSTAV HEDSTROM Treasurer - - ANGUS MACDONALD GORDON Sergeant-at-Arms - WILSON HENRY COCI-IRAN HISTORY The Marshall Literary Society was founded in 1866 in Marshall College, which is now Mercersburg. The Society Was named after Chief Justice Marshall, who died in 1835. Every Saturday, since its founding, Marshall has held its meetings for the purpose of stimulating interest in debate, and of giving the students informa- tion on both sides of questions of current interest. These weekly meetings all point towards the big Annual Debate held on Washington's Birthday, the twenty- second of February. Marshall has won a goodly share of these from her rival, Irving, but Whether in defeat or victory, we are loyal just the same,', has been sung by true Marshall men both after a glorious victory or stunning defeat. Hold fast to that which is good, is the motto which has inspired men to go through school and college life applying this ideal to meet tlIeir need. W. H. SMITH, ,27. 130 S m-: 11 ,. .--.

BURR, '27 D. BAILEY BRANDT, JR., '27 THE TJIT, formerly the Mercersburg Literary Magazine. showed signs of prog- ress during the school year despite the general lack of material from the student body. The board this year under the leadership of Sam Morford made many bene- ficial changes in the magazineg the name Lit was adopted, the front cover was changed, and a series of attractive colors arranged, and lastly the type of stories and articles printed was raised to a level higher than that of previous years. Al- though it is feared that this may have prohibited some from Writing, still a high standard is alwavs a very desirable thing. THE LIT Board deserves much credit for its splendid work this year. 136 1 2 .. , ay ., - ,Jai X ., I if., K 1 ' gf w, Y 735:-, iff, , fl, '32 T f -W EN -91 5 ' I-ig .

Coach McCorrnick's team scored 151 points against the opponents 19. The first call for candidates was issued shortly after the opening of school, and one of the largest squads that has ever turned out answered the coachys call. With the return of only three varsity men from the previous season and several mem- 141 f - nu A ' l,,. . F- -5: X ' 'J it 1+ . -- 'f l ' --- gi f Ffa' K- Q '5 5, f iz- a'!g ,w if? !

Due to the injury of several men, the team was greatly handicapped, but under the leadership of Captain Titus they fought determinedly on, and, rising from the depths of the beaten team class, they rose to majestic heights in the defeat of Lehigh. Enhaut Athletic Club, of Harrisburg, was the first team on the schedule, which opened on October Qnd. The team at this time had been practicing together for little more than a week, but due to hard work on the part of the squad the game ended with the score 21 to 0. Cooper scored the first touchdown of the season in the first quarter when, receiving a punt on his opponentis 40-yard line, and with some clever open Held running, he placed the ball between the goal posts. In the fourth quarter the offense power of the team began to work more smoothly, and Forrester crossed the goal line twice. W'ith the next game the team began to buck their own class: preparatory schools and college freshmen. Franklin and Marshall Academy produced an excellent team which had a very strong line. No score was made by either team in the first quarter, in the next period the visitors were fooled by a fake place kick, and For- rester circled left end for 14 yards and a touchdown. At the beginning of the third quarter the Blue and VVhite team hit their stride and rode rough shod over the boys from Lancaster, carrying the ball for a total of 46 yards, Wilson finally taking the ball through left guard for one yard and a touchdown. VVilson, place kicking from the 30-yard line, added three more points to the score. The game ended 17 to O. On October 9th the Franklin and Marshall Freshmen appeared on the Mer- cersburg gridiron, but fared no better than their neighbor, F. and M. Academy, losing by a score of 26 to 0. This ran the total of victories for Coach McCormick's prodigies to three, but such good fortune was not to last, for on the following Sat- urday the Blue and White gladiators were to taste the bitter cup of defeat. Saturday afternoon, October the 16th, probably the closest game of the season was played. The home team wrestled with the Gettysburg Freshmen in what seemed to be a scoreless tie, for at the end of the first half neither side had suc- ceeded in scoring. In the next period the freshmen were blessed with opportunity and did not wait to be blessed againg for in an attempted line plunge one of the Mercersburg backs fumbled the coveted pigskin. One of the frosh recovered, and, with no one near, he ran half the length of the field for a score. That was all that was needed. Mercersburg was unable to push a touchdown across in the remaining period, and the game ended in the first defeat for the Blue and VVhite since the letter game of '23 with the Penn Fresh. On the following Saturday the Orange and Black Freshmen journeyed up from New Jersey, still remembering their hard fought victory over the Navy Plebes the week before, and with the resolve to atone for the smarting defeats suffered at the hands of the Academy team in '24 and '25. Two hundred Mercersburg alumni saw their favorites go down to defeat before the onslaught of this same team from tiger land, by a score of 13 to O. Moore and White were with the Princeton boys, playing the two tackle positions, the same as they had held the year before at Mercersburgl The home team planned to keep the ball in the air, and not to buck the line so notoriously known to be strong. Berlinger demonstrated his ability to throw passes about as well as anyone who has played for Mercersburg in recent years. Many yards were gained by this policy, but still the yearlings succeeded in kicking two Held goals, and by intercepting a pass, making one touchdown. 142 1.- .. iW. ' U '1 .- 1. ii :1--, ,.

They accomplished their task at the ex- pense of the Potomac State School from W'est Virginia. The 1Vest Virginians were forced to return to their domicile below the Mason-Dixon line on the short end of an 18 to 0 score, but not until after they had put up a stubborn fight. The Letter Game, the event most looked forward to in the football realm at Mercersburg, was held on Saturday, November 6th, before the largest crowd of the year. Lehigh Freshmen offered the opposition for that afternoon, but suffered an overwhelming defeat to the tune of 69 to O. After losing two games, the team made a stupendous come-back, of which little can be said except that Mercersburg completely outplayed their opponents. Every member of the back field made at least one touchdown, and Wilson kicked six out of the seven goals. At the end of the first five minutes of play it was quite evident which was the better team. The only remaining question was how much better it was. At the end of the first period the score was shaped up like the score at the end of the first period of the Blue Ridge College game two years ago, when the visitors were trampled asunder to the tune of one hundred and two to nothing, but the boys had to be content with the record of the highest letter game score in recent years. No season can be called successful if the letter game is not won, and any season wherein the letter game is won has good grounds to be called successful. If the score means anything as to the degree of success, this year certainly was one of the best in the school history. Sixty-nine points are a great many for a team to score, and to score them against one's supposedly worst rival certainly is to be deserving of much credit. The season could never have been so successful without the coaching of Mr. McCormick. He was ably assisted throughout the season by Mr. Lyons and Mr. Breslin. The history of the season would not be complete without mentioning the untiring and self-sacrincing work of Manager Gruber and his assistants, Ace and R. Jackson, who all were of invaluable aid to the coach. The success of winning the letter game is not all. It is the Mercersburg ideal that was shown when the team fought an uphill battle against all odds after losing two straight games, and succeeded in not only closing the season with two victories, but in overcoming the criticism that was directed at it from all quarters. As the members of the team look back over the past season they should remember the following words. It Won't be whether we've won or lost, But how we've played the game. JAMES A. PURDY, '27.

The outstanding player for the Whites was Garrett, while Evans and Miller carried the burden of the Blues' attack. Garrett and Evans showed some clever open field running, while Miller's best 'work was in smashing the line. For the last two years the younger boys have not been Organized into football and base- ball teams as they have been previously, but instead teams are chosen and trained by Mr. McCormick after the regular season. It is interesting to note their progress, for in two weeks time they have been coached so thoroughly that one would imagine they had been on the field all season. Mr. McCormick and the various members of the varsity squad who helped in the coaching are to be complimented for their interest and work. JAMES A.

INTERSCHOLASTIC QUARTER MILE RELAY CHAMPIONS WORLD'S RECORD HOLDERS Hutson Gentry VVoor1s Sacks Track Season of 1926 The 1926 track team attained in every way the high standard set by former Mercersburg teams. Not only were the relay teams successful, but the track team carried off the National Interscholastic crown as well. The out-door season opened with the University of Pennsylvania Relays on April 23rd and 24fth. Mercersburg sent a quarter mile team and a mile team. The quarter mile team, composed of Sacks, Wood, Gentry, and Hutson, set a new world's interscholastic record of 43 3-5 seconds, breaking the former record, which was held by Mercersburg, by a fifth of a second. On the following day the mile team, composed of Anderson, Stollwerck, Stein, and Sacks, was forced to take second place by the speedy runners representing Seton Hall. In the annual dual meet with the Pennsylvania Freshmen, the Academy team was defeated by the powerful yearlings in whose ranks were many former inter- scholastic stars. Hutson ran the 100 in 10 seconds fiat, beating Tuxill, the former interscholastic champion. George Stollwerck, of Mercersburg, lowered the Academy record for the 220-yard low hurdles when he covered the distance in 25 1-5 seconds. Most of the running events in this meet were exceptionally fast in spite of a soggy track. Lamberg of Pennsylvania was high scorer with a first in the shot put and discuss, throwing the former a trifle over 50 feet, and the latter 131 feet, 6 inches. Mercersburg did some brilliant work, but their efforts netted them but 51 points, while the university men amassed a total of 75. 150 -1 ---- , , Tx !f- iv- -a V1 Qi' x i r: ' Q 'L 5' Ei? s '-a I' i 4 Y H Q - '51 f4:':E?f' I, 1 if: Fx ' L 5,11 'ffl ' gf' 5 IF! -1 9- pcpcavx - 27- i is, i ' i...mg n. ., L . - .rr 1 :mfs--f'sv.

Stollwerck won both the low and high hurdles. Hutson and Gentry each placed in the 100, and Shotton scored in the mile. Hockenbury Won the hammer throw, with Seiler second. DuBois and Painter placed fourth in the shot put and the discus, respectively. On the following Saturday Mercersburg sent a team to the University of Penn- sylvania Interscholastics at Philadelphia. At this meet the team faced a much harder task than at Princeton. Gentry could not run because of illness, and several certain points were lost because the hammer throw was excluded from the list of events. Notwithstanding these handicaps, Mercersburg emerged victorious, scoring 23w points, while New Utrecht's best effort netted but 23. George Stollwerck starred for Mercersburg for the third consecutive week, run- ning away with both the low and high hurdles. Hutson placed second in the 220,' and a third in the 100, while Cooper placed in the 220.H Oldt captured a third in the broad jump, and Larkin, a fourth in the javelin. Livingston cleared the bar at 11 feet, 9 inches, to take second in the pole vault, while Dodge's tie for fourth in that event gave the team the necessary one-half point to win the meet. The victory in this meet, coupled with first place in the Princeton Interscholastic, gave Mercersburg the Interscholastic Track Championship of America. The Pennsylvania Meet brought to a close another successful season for the wearers of the Blue and VVhite. This success was due not only to the untiring efforts put forth by the members of the team, but to the excellent coaching of Jimmy Curran, one of the Hnest coaches in America.

Unfortunately, Sam Stein and Northrop were the only men from last year to return, and it was easily seen that Mercersburg would have a hard struggle. for any great victories this year in Cross Country. Such new material as Teevens, McCarthy, Prior, Rorabaugh, Hoult, Stephani, and Cor- rigan were striving hard for positions on the team, and before the season was far in advance, Teevens and McCarthy proved to be the leaders in the field. The first trials were held on October 4-th, and on November 6th, the team met the Pennsylvania Freshmen in a two and one-half mile race on our own course. Our boys proved to be far superior to this team and with Teevens, McCarthy, and Prior leading, seven of our men crossed the finish before any Penn man could overtake them. With this brilliant showing, although against a weak team, cur hopes for honors in the Columbia Interscholastics were somewhat lightened. On November 13th, after the appointment of Roger Prior, '27, as captain, the team journeyed to New York for the Columbia meet. Running against a very fast Held of athletes we were defeated in a great race won by Schenectady High School. Mercersburg Hnished in fifth place with a team score of 166 points. Teevens, the first Mercersburg man to finish, came in 20thg McCarthy 37th, Hoult 45th, Prior 50th, Rorabaugh 55thg Corrigan 57th, and Stein 63rd. Thus ended another season of Cross Country for Mercersburg. Although not as suc- cessful or as full of triumph as in the days of Eddie Sheilds and Bill Cox, the team was aflre with that spirit and sportsmanship of Mercersburg teams. Schedule Mer.

The players representing the Blue and VVhite suffered but one defeat during the entire season, thus accomplishing a feat which is seldom equalled. VVhen Coach McCormick called for candidates for the team he found four of the past season's stars ready to start another campaign under his guidance. They were the reliable Santosuosso behind the plate, Trenchard at secondg the versatile French in the outfieldg and Glover at first. With these four men to form a nucleus, and such new material as Stein, Wade, Cook, Wilson, Clark, Treganowan and Anderson, Mr. McCormick built up a machine which was almost impossible to stop. The weather at the beginning of the spring was most unfavorable, and four games had to be cancelled before the season was finally opened. On April 10, the team met Hagerstown High School, and emerged on the long side of a 5-3 score. The game was very close throughout, and its main feature was a triple play. On the following VVednesday the team journeyed to Carlisle and defeated the Dickinson Junior Varsity, 6-3. Clark pitched a very steady game, allowing the Dickinson players but three scattered hits. On the 17th uf April Mercersburg defeated Franklin and Marshall Academy by a 12-3 score. Many long hits were made in this game, due to the high wind. The following Wednesday the Greencastle Athletic Club was overwhelmingly de- feated by a 21-2 score. The following Saturday the Hill Athletic Club, of Harris- burg, was an easy victim. Coach McCormick's nine defeated Massanutten Academy, reputed Southern Preparatory School Baseball Champions, on the 28th of April. Clark was very steady on the mound during the whole game, allowing Massanutten but two runs, while his teammates collected six. The nine welcomed May with a brilliant victory of 16-0 over the Tome School. Holmes was supreme on the mound at all times, while his teammates hit hard and often. On the following Tuesday, Mercersburg made its annual trip to Princeton, where it lost the only game of the season. The Tiger Frosh crossed the platter 12 times to the visitors' 10. The game was very close, no one knowing the outcome until Mercersburg's last man had been put out irbthe ninth. The next day the team went to Lawrenceville, with a determination to wipe out, as far as possible, the defeat which they had received at the hands of the Tiger Cubs. The game proved to be very one-sided, Mercersburg merging victorious by a 25-1 score. Mercersburg, resuming play on the home diamond on May 8, defeated Harris- burg Tech, 8-6. Although the game was close, Mercersburg displayed its superiority both at the bat and in the field. On the following Wednesday the 'iBlue and White Socks defeated the Hagerstown Athletic Club, 10-41. The game was long drawn out, due to Mercersburg's long hitting and scoring streaks. ' The Allentown Preparatory School game, on May 15th, was one of the best and closest games of the season. The two teams were in a 2-2 deadlock until Glover, Mercersburg's reliable first baseman, came up in the last of the ninth and did a Babe Ruth trick by hitting a home run, making the final score 3-2. On May 19th they again defeated the Junior Varsity of Dickinson College. Mercersburg outplayed their opponents from the start and won in the same decisive manner of their Hrst meeting. 158 -q Q n..- .- ,A N W 1 X' 'y , .. .' ,-.- , .iw 1 K' 1 A : fe-r - 1.1 -'nu 4. f a s ---W ' mag na ma'--1-I A ll 1wLaulv1:s.':r.:lf ..llIBI!!llF!.ldl U- i l J. The team's next game was the most looked forward to of the whole season, be- ing the letter game, with the Lehigh Freshmen. The baseball season is always a success when the letter game is won, and by a 9-47 victory over the team from Beth- lehem, Coach McCormick's players made the season twice as successful. Holmes was almost invincible on the mound, while captain Zu Zui' played one of his best games at the backstop position. The season was brought to a successful close by two one-sided victories over Millersville Normal School and the Steelton Athletic Club. The former was de- feated by a 16-1 score, while the latter was defeated to the tune of 7 to 2. The greatest credit possible is due the team and Coach McCormick. They worked faithfully and hard, achieving a record that is worthy of praise. Mr. :McCormick developed an almost invincible machine, molding both veterans and re- cruits into one Hawless unit. He did not have a single veteran on his pitching staff, but developed one of the finest groups of mound men in the history of the school. Santosuosso proved his ability as a captain by his hard work, faithful service, flaw- less playing, and wonderful spirit. Manager Kirk was always on the job, and he handled the affairs of the team most capably. The spirit of the team should also be complimented. It was always thought of as a conscientious and a hard fighting nine, and remained the same, whether in defeat or victory. The team's come- backi' after being defeated at Princeton was admirable, and their unconquerable spirit was a vital factor in its success. BOYER GONZALES, '27, The Schedule Mer.

The team had not only opponents to vanquish but also circumstances. Two of the best swimmers on the team were found breaking training rules. Coach Miller, deeming that it is more necessary to forbid oneself the pleasures of the non-athlete than anything else, and realizing that he was jeopardizing the chances of the team, but that it was for the sake of the principal and high standard of a Mercersburg team, released the offenders. The first meet of the season, as well as several others, were cancelled because of the inability of the teams to reach Mercersburg due to weather conditions. The Main Hall catastrophe then occurred, a few days after the team had returned from the three weeks vacation at Christmas and made it necessary for another break of two weeks in the training schedule, putting the team fully a month behind in their preparations. Then the hardest blow of all descended on the little band of swimmers and their Coach. Grim Death came Swlklng amongst them, and took from their ranks their beloved comrade and team mate, Davie Heston, one of the best divers in school. With heavy hearts Coach Miller and his prodigies kept on with their work, resolving to carry on and do the best they could, as Dave would have wished. The team won five duel meets, and placed second to Wilmington at the Swarthmore Interscholastics. The most outstanding event of the season was the establishing of the 400- yard interscholastic back stroke record of 5 minutes 4 U10 seconds which the Mercersburg quartet, composed of Rodecki, Lander, Wago, and Jorgensen made by breaking the note- worthy performance of Wilmington by 4 seconds. Wi1mington's time of 5 minutes 9 1f10 seconds was made at Northwestern University in a 60-foot pool. Coach Miller called for candidates on September 21st, about fifty fellows reporting. Trials were held on the following two days, and thirty of the applicants were retained. Although Mr. Miller had not nearly as good a foundation to work with as he had the previous year, he hoped! to build up a championship team. A month of out-door work was then given to the successful candidates to put them in good condition to withstand the strain of a long period of intensive training. This work consisted of calisthenics, games, touch football and cross country running. The opening meet of the 1927 Swimming Season was held on January 8th, against Balti- more Polytechnic. The Varsity natators easily won the meet, defeating their rivals from Baltimore by a score of 50-12. All the events were rather one sided, the southern boys only winning one first and a second. Lane won the dives, while Kerby placed second in the breast stroke for Baltimore. Wago of Mercersburg took the individual honors, winning first in the 100-yard free style, and 100-yard back stroke. Mercersburg won the relay by a length of the pool, while Eliot won the 50,,' Gordon the 9220 and Cofiin the 100-yard breast stroke. 165 ffl 1- I' X1 ry, 'A I 'X I-T 2 vb yf, i I H , ' tl he tl jwia f Q N -inilwiie ll. 1 1 AVIEEIFI 'I 9' PCPXRUDQ -:-17- . it s Ili G.

The Blue and White natators easily won by a score of 39-23. The Freshmen only captured one first place, Serber defeating Purdy in the 100-yard breast stroke. VVago was again the individual star of the meet, winning both the 100-yard free style and 100-yard back stroke. The other winners for Mercersburg were Jorgensen in the dives, Nicholson in the 250,53 and Gordon in the 220. The relay team, composed of VVilson, Hunter, Moore, and Rodecki easily defeated the freshmen quartet. Three days later, on February 22nd, Mercersburg encountered the Princeton Freshmen. The dual meet between thc two teams is one of the features of Mid-VVinter Week, and is al- ways the hardest dual meet on the Blue and White schedule. The natatorium was over- fiowing with interested students and their fair guests, for the Tiger Cubs were bringing to Mercersburg one of the strongest yearling teams in the country, and the fastest combina- tions of swimmers that have represented the Orange and Black in some years. This same team had been undefeated up to that time scoring decisive victories over the Pennsylvania Freshmen, Peddie, Princeton Prep, and the strong Lawrenceville team. Mercersburg won the meet by the score of 41-21, but only after an hour of breath taking performances and hair raising finishes. The opening event was the 200-yard relay in which the Freshmen were forced to accept defeat for the first time that season. Eliot, swimming the best race of his career, gained two yards on Captain Hedges of Princeton. Osler kept the lead given him, only losing one yard. Wago gained back the yard, and Rodecki, amidst thundering shouts, finished the last 50 four yards ahead of Robinson. Jorgensen and Mountain, reaching their top form, placed first and second respectively in the dives, with Brooks of Princeton, third. ln the 50 Eliot again showed the way to Hedges in a close finish. The fastest time in the meet was registered in the 100-yard back stroke, when Dickerson of Princeton, broke the pool record, covering the four laps of the pool in the fast time of 1 minute 7 4-X5 seconds. Gordon won the 22O', for Mercersburg, followed closely by two Princeton men. Reichard of Princeton, brought the Orange and Black colors to the fore in the 100-yard breast stroke, with Cofiin a close second. The 100-yard free style again brought the spectators to their feet in loud acclaim, when Rodecki and Wago, of Mercers- burg, and Brown, of Princeton, touched the end in a blanket finish, with honors distributed in the order of the names above. On February 26th, Mercersburg participated in the Swarthmore lnterscholastics, making it the third meet that they had entered in one week. Wilmington won the meet with 45 points, winning six events and breaking six pool records. Mercersburg captured second with 171!2 points, Wago winning the only first for the wearers of the Blue in the 220. Mercers- burg's relay team had the lead over Wilmington until the last man, but Rodecki was forced to relinquish it to Holt, who beat him by a scant foot. Bogar placed fourth in the dives, Gordon third in the 220,', and fourth in the 100, while Cofiin was fourth in the breast stroke and Rodecki third in the 100-yard free style. March 5th Coatesville was defeated 4-6-16. Mercersburg won six first places, Hoar, of Coatesville, winning the only first for his school in the H5033 Rodecki, swimming last for Mercersburg in the relay, was three yards behind Slagel, but finished with open water' show- ing between him and his rival. Lander won the 100-yard back stroke, Wago the 220, Purdy the 100-yard breast stroke and Rodecki the 100-yard free sqle. Baltimore City College closed the home meets of the 1927 season on March 12th. Mer- cersburg was again victorious, winning by the score of 44-18. Baltimore captured only two first places, the Blue and White mermen easily winning the other events. Coffin was beaten by inches in the 220,,' while Osler was just touched out for first by the Baltimore swimmer in the 100-yard back stroke. The relay was won by Mercersburg, Osler placed first in the 50, Eliot the 100-yard free style, Purdy the 100-yard breast stroke, and Mountain in the dives. It was in this meet that the Mercersburg 4-OO-yard back stroke relay team estab- lished the interscholastic record for that distance. As the KARUX goes to press, Wago, Rodecki, and Gordon are training diligently for the National Individual Championships to be held at Princeton on March 19th. These three will represent Mercersburg at the meet, and from past records will give a good account of themselves. The end of the 1927 swimming season brings to a close the third year of Coach Miller's successful reign at Mercersburg. During that period his teams have won nineteen dual meets and have lost only one. His teams have placed first in three Interscholastics and second in two. ln each of the three years one of his relay teams has broken the inter- scholastic record for their respective distances. VVhat other school has a coach with such a fine record? Much credit is due the members of the team for plugging ever onward in spite of the many handicaps that have been in their way, and to Coach Miller, whose wonderful spirit and encouragement has always been of help in times of discouragement and defeat.

Coorsn The Annual Gymnasium Exhibition, which in the last four or five years has become one of the most popular features of the Mid-XVinter XVeek program, was given on Tuesday morning, February 22nd, at 10 o'clock. It was the original intention that this part of the Mid-XVinter festivities should depict the gym work of the entire student bodyg now however, the gym team has taken the leading role, which includes work on the parallel bars, rings, horses, and horizontal bars, as well as tumbling, and the building of pyramids. A large number of visitors and guests of the school, who lined the indoor track, which is above the gymnasium floor, witnessed the ten events, which were very well given, taking into consideration the very short time the coaches and gym leaders had to get their groups into condition. Much credit for the wonderful success of the exhibition is due to the very fine showing of the 1927 gym team. - Because of the Main Hall catastrophe, all gym team meets were cancelled, but the train- ing and hard work of the members and coaches will not be in vain, for they have laid the foundation for a successful season during the coming year. Much is expected of them in 1928. JADIES A. PURDY, '27, 165 X l RNS X' ' 'G ... ' - ON - 'fir 'Iwi -A X N In ,,.. rl Lk '7 ffl? W U X3 w I-Jill' 1x 5 ' X .vpn f X V s ,Ll .- , M MLK , ,.

After the invocation by Dr. J. G. Rose, of Mercersburg, and the Scripture reading by Dr. C. Clever, of Hagerstown, Maryland, the assembled people joined in singing the Academy Hymn. As its soft tones rolled over the assemblage one felt a note of sadness, a remem- brance of those loyal sons who died before their chance for life and success had arrived. Then the song swelled, growing in volume, the note became heroic, triumphantly cheering the living to do better things, praising the worthy dead for their brave deeds and their supreme sacrifices that we might be exalted. Crowning the occasion the portrait of Ralph Talbot, a beautifully simple and expressive oil painting by Edmund C. Tarbell, was unveiled by Ralph's young nephew, Ralph Talbot Hall. The picture bears the following inscription: RALPH TALBOT-MERCERSBURG, 1916 Second Lieutenant U. S. Marine Corps-Reserve Flying Corps Attached to British Army in Belgium NVinner of Congressional Medal of Honor On October 14, 1918, while on an air raid over Pittham, Belgium, Lieutenant Talbot and one other plane became detached from the formation due to loss of power by motor, and were attacked by twelve enemy scouts. During the severe fight that followed, his plane shot down one of the enemy scouts. His observer was shot through the elbow and his gun jammed. He cleared the jam with one hand while Lieutenant Talbot manoeuvered to gain time, and then returned to the fight. The observer fought on until shot twice in the stomach and once in the hip. VVhen he collapsed, Lieutenant Talbot attacked the nearest enemy scout with his front guns and shot him down. VVith his observer unconscious and his motor failing he dived to escape the balance of the enemy and crossed the German trenches at an altitude of Hfty feet, landing at the nearest hospital, and left his observer and returned alone to his aerodromef' fCitation accompanying his award-Q On October 25, 1918, his plane crashed to earth and took fire causing his death. His life for his country His memory to us. -Henry van Dyke. Painted by Euiswxn C. TARBI-:I.1.. An address on the appropriate subject of Youth and Patriotismfi by a fine army speaker and fighter, Major-General C. P. Summerall, was impressive and to the point. He stressed the fact that the essentials for success are 'vision and faithg a vision beyond the present envir- onment to know what should be done and a strong faith in the vision and in one's power to carry it to the proper conclusion. As an example of this he gave Dr. Irvine, who has com- bined these qualities to build and maintain this wonderful institution. The Major-General paid a beautiful tribute to the beloved mothers of this country by crediting to them the patriotism instilled in America's men. He forcefully closed with the statement that patriot- ism is not the production of one generation or a momentary impulse, but it is an inheritance from our forefathers which it is our especial duty to uphold. Dr. Irvine's memorial address traced by means of letters and documents from friends the life and service of Ralph Talbot. He opened his address with the following words of power and wisdom: Victory in its highest form is never without the shadow of sacrifice. Each generation learns this story anew. An American writer says: 'All high achievement has followed on the stem of pain. The sorrow of the world has given poetry its most mov- ing notes and music its most thrilling tones. ' Dr. Irvine's address contained the data of Talbot's record at Mercersburg, where he was enrolled in September, 1915. He was a Mar- shall Debater, a member of the cross country team, and a member of Mercersburg Literary Magazine and News staffs. He is described as an earnest worker, modest but able, hand- some, ambitious, and manly. He was granted his diploma in June, 1916, The history of his life in the service is short but extremely brilliant. Upon enlisting in the navy on October 26, 1917, he started up a glorious path of success.

Na+? i 1 shortly after arriving in Europe, he was assigned to duty with the Northern Bombing Group. In October, while on an air raid over enemy territory, he was attacked by nine scouts. After a severe fight he shot down his first enemy plane. A week later he was separated from his squadron while in a raid over Pittham, Belgium, and attacked by twelve enemy planes. In this iight he demonstrated how plucky a man can be. Even though his gunner was severely yn ounded and his guns jammed for awhile, he shot down two of the enemy. His engine was not working well, but he glided over the front line trenches and landed his gunner safely at a first aid hospital. This fine record was closed by his untimely death October 25, 1918, when his plane accidentally crashed and caught fire. In consideration of his worthy aid to our country he was awarded the highest honor which our nation gives, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Order of Service 1. Music ----- Harrisburg Orchestra 2.

Elect from every nation 'Mid toil and tribulation Yet one o'er all the earth, And turnult of her war, Her charter of salvation She waits the consummation One Lord, one faith, one birth, Of peace forevermoreg One holy name she blesses, Till with the vision glorious Partakes one holy food Her longing eyes are blest, And to one hope she presses, And the great Church victorious YVith every grace endued. Shall be the Church at rest. Yet she on earth had union XVith God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion XVith those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy!

Time's ceaseless colurse had brought the annual Field Day to us once more. This is a day which has become one of the Mercersburg traditions, a day for the gloritication of the athlete, a day when the alumni may return and recall happy memories, and a day when the student body may forget for the time being the pursuit of knowledge and thoroughly enjoy itself. After the customary light luncheon had been served in the assembly hall, students, friends, alumni, and faculty proceeded to the oval to witness the program of track and field events. The air was crisp and keen. The gay crowd on the bleachers shivered, but nevertheless cheered lustily for the various participants. Fleet-limbed runners, sturdily-built weight men, and slender, graceful jumpers, all put forth their best efforts to win the coveted medals. At three o'clock everyone trooped to Keil Hall to partake of the feast which is, in fact, part of the tradition. After the blessing was asked by Rev. Mr. Marsteller, the assembled multi- tudes were served with a sumptuous feast in the form of turkey, cranberry sauce, and mince pie, and all the other delicious things that usually accompany such a repast. The dinner over, Dr. Irvine as toastmaster welcomed all the guests, explained the mean- ing of Field Day, and spoke eloquentlyj on the importance of athletics in the curriculum and their relation to life. He discussed some of the characteristics of the boys that athletics pro- duce, such as health, strength, honor, morale, self-control and chivalry, and defined that admir- able quality called courage as tenacity of purpose. Chivalry is a prime essential of the athlete, he said, in that the ancient vow of medieval knights 'live pure, speak true, right wrong, and follow the king, stands out as the criterion of manly athletics. The first toast was responded to by Dr. Dechant, of Hanover, a member of the Board of Regents, whose subject was, 'fVVhy Our Boys Should Playf' He made manifest the etymology of the word play by a series of deductive reasonings in which he showed that the words plane, plain, and plaza are all symbols of the word play. Play is on the level, said Dr. Dechant, hence the word plane, it is unadorned, hence the word plain, it is played in some broad, open space which implies the word plaza. In closing Dr. Dechant urged the boys to work in such a fashion that their work would seem like play. The next event on the program was The Review of the Athletic Year given by Edward L. Gruber, football manager of the 1926 team, who pointed out that on the whole the past athletic year had been a brilliant success. Mr. Casselman, the Academy chaplain, next spoke very aptly on the subject of Ancient and Modern Sports. He said, Although our national games of football and baseball are comparatively new, their origin can be traced back for ages, but most historians agree that their origin has been lost in antiquity. Man has always been a playing animal, and since this is inherent to man it is natural to develop itf' Mr. Jacobs, of the faculty, chose for his subject Good Sportsmanship. He called to mind various examples of good sportsmanship that he has witnessed at Mercersburg during his career here. He pointed out that these episodes show very clearly the true spirit of the Mercersburg boy. He said also that a finer glimpse into Mercersburg life might be had by studying the new Academy chapel. The boys of the school then sang the Evening Song, after which Dr. Irvine called upon parents of boys and friends of the school for ar few brief remarks. Dr. Irvine next read the awards of the insignias in football and immediately following the awards of the winners of the day. The VVilliams Cup was then presented to its winners. Dr. Irvine upon its presenta- tion to its two winners spoke fitting words of praise and commendation. The singing of 'fAlma Mater brought the thirty-fourth annual field day to a most happy close.

Irvine Day On Saturday, October 23, 19:26, was held the annual Irvine Day, at Mercersburg, as a tribute to the work and devotion of our head master. To do him honor, over a hundred and fifty alumni came from all parts of the country and all joined in bearing witness to his greatness. At nine o'clock in the morning, the last meeting of the year of the Alumni Council was held, presided over by Henry B. Swoope, '00, President. The officers elected for the year 1927 are as follows: President, Henry Bucher Swoope, '00, First Vice President, Lieutenant- Commander Joel T. Boone, '09, Second Vice President, Carl E. Reich, '11. It was decided to hold the next Irvine Dayu Reunion on Saturday, October 15, 1927. The next event of importance was the joint recitals of Mr. Anton Brees, on the carillon, and of Mr. VVilliam E. Zeuch, of the Skinner Organ Company, on the organ. It was a rare privilege to be able to enjoy the playing of two such skillful artists and their well-executed program was quite apropos to the delightful occasion. Every alumnus had heard played and had sung, Cheer, Cheer for Mercersburgf' But it must have been with a new thrill when they listened to the strains of the old school song played on the great carillon. Mr. Zeuch, one of the leading organists of the United States, played with the touch and expression of a true artist and brought out the force, sweetness, and power of the organ, together with the exquisite note of its harp, horn, and bells. In the afternoon, over two hundred alumni witnessed a stirring football game between the teams of Mercersburg and Princeton Freshmen. The contest was bitterly fought all the way through, and was one of the best games of the season despite the fact that Mercersburg lost by the rather decisive score of 13-0. After the game a tea was given in the Administration Building, with Dr. and Mrs. Irvine as host and hostess. It was well attended, and through this social function many renewed their friendship with Mrs. Irvine-a bright memory of their Mercersburg days. Irvine Day was brought to a close by a banquet given in Keil Hall at seven-thirty. There Dr. Irvine, surrounded by Mercersburg boys from far and near, received, their praises and tributes as befits one who has done great things. Mr. Casselman, the chaplain, asked the blessing, after which all stood for half a minute in memory of those of Mercersburg who had given their lives in the XVorld XVar. After a delightful dinner, Mr. Swoope introduced Lieutenant-Commander Boone, '09, as the toastmaster of the evening. Commander Boone then spoke of the beauty of the dedica- tion of the Chapel and declared it to be one of the greatest events of his life. The Rev. Earl Douglas, Dr. George T. Omwake, President of Ifrsinus College, and Mr. Rutledge, of the faculty, spoke briefly and were followed by many alumni who were called to stand as repre- sentatives of the oldest class, youngest class, and longest distance. Before Dr. Irvine was presented, he was given three gifts: a camelia, sent by Mrs. Coolidge, as a token of her love, esteem and appreciation of his work, a piece of the bronze cross of the Chapel, and a letter from the President of the United States, Mr. Coolidge, commending him for his accomplishments. After having expressed his appreciation of these gifts with characteristic charm, Dr. Irvine proceeded to tell of the great debt that all con- nected with the school face-the debt to the past for the building, the ideals and traditions that have made the school, and the debt to the present to make the future better than the past. w.

Main Hall Totally Destroyed by Fire Morning of January oth At 1:30 a. m. Sunday, January 9th, a fire which originated in the trunk room of Buz- zard's Roost, Main Hall, burned that building to the ground by four-thirty o'clock that morning. Despite the valiant eHorts of the Mercersburg, Chambersburg, and VVaynesboro fire companies the flames quickly swept under the slate roof through the attic of the whole building before water could be played on the source of the fire. No boy was injured, few suffered loss of property, but the school in the loss of the building and equipment faces a S300,000 loss. Main Hall, the oldest and original building, had stood for ninety-one years, the central part having been constructed in 1836 at the cost of 3512,000. Sixty years later, when Dr. Irvine first came to the Academy as Headmaster, the East Wing, containing the Assembly Hall, was built, costing S69,000. All the recitation rooms, the chemistry laboratory, the library, the mechanical drawing department, the assembly hall, storerooms, as well as rooms, accom- modating eighty boys and six instructors were located in this building. The complete loss of the library was one of the hardest to replace. VVhen Main Hall was first built, however, the school was not Mercersburg Academy, but Marshall College. During the Civil War, Main Hall served as a hospital for Confederate officers, wounded in the Battle of Gettysburg and captured near Greencastle. Such illustrious names as those of Dr. Philip Schaif, a great church historian, and Dr. Henry Harbaugh, the composer of the Academy Hymn, grace the list of instructors who formerly taught in Main Hall. The devastating fire left scarcely a vestige of the famous old building. Only the north walls and two of the pillars, with which so many sentiments are connected, remained standing. The heating system was temporarily destroyed since the pipes which were placed beneath the building were shattered. It was decided at a Faculty meeting Sunday morning, to suspend school for two weeks, until January 25th, in order to repair the heating system and construct a temporary recitation building. At the end of the two weeks the recitation building, modern and perfectly adequate, was completed and ready for use, it was constructed directly south of the '88 Dormitory, east of the road leading to the Chapel. The boys who formerly roomed in Main Hall are now rooming in Wayside Inn, Myers House, the Gymnasium, the large Infirmary and the Daub Apartment. Main Hall will he reconstructed and ready for occupancy in September, 1927. Charles Z. Klauder, of Day and Klauder, of Philadelphia, the designers of the Gymnasium and the Ad- ministration Biulding, is now drawing the preliminary plans. The same beautiful Colonial lines and the four large columns in front will be reproduced in the new building. The new building, however, will be a great improvement over the old hall since it is to be fireproof and modern in every particular with large and comfortable dormitory rooms, a more spacious assembly hall, and larger recitation rooms. There will be an increased number of rooms in the new Main Hall to allow the modernization of the rooms in the other dormitories. 204 I ' I I ' r L. s m' 'I , .,.- ., I gf e J.'5a.y: . - 5.22255 5 f- Ry iui W ng lv mv u 15 1' IUUREIHIEIJ 'YEAH l 9023: Kinky -J f Q! -1 9- pcpxaux - 27- i r I Fi ..

Tier Played the Best Game of His Pre- paratory Career BALL PUNCTURED Dryfoos and Babe Ruth Leading the Cheering Keep Back Jeer- ings of the Crowd The new feature of the Mid-YVinter Daze was held on February 30, in room 10, Administration Building, Musclebound Academy. The students were easily victorious because of con- tinual quarreling on the part of the faculty. The faculty team was spirited by a hearty sneer led by 'tLuc Bardman, but Dryfoos and his lusty-lunged co- horts came back at them with a rous- ing three groans and seven grunts for the students. i'Brother Murray, kicking as usual, first sent the pig-skin to Schmidt, who fumbled but recovered with his accustomed ability on the four-yard line. Two successive grunts by Fur- rier netted but inches. Then Crumm, with a tight grip on the ball, asked Captain Tier from whom he had had any permission to buy such an ex- pensive ball. The faculty was being well guarded, Schmidt next kicked to Bortz, who waited for a fast tackle by Kisselman to throw him for a loss. They then played catch with the ball in the middle ofthe field, but Discontinued on page 2 VACATIONS!

The Memorial Committee, com- posed of Swoope, VV., Wilt, G., Jack- son, T., and Stein, J., submitted three possibilities: a Ford automobile for the use of the lazy seniors next year, a new set of pruning shears, for the head master, and the ten refuge cans. The selection made by the class was a most wise one, as the campus is quite incapable of existing in its present beauty with the overdue sup- ply of cigarettes it is getting. The seniors recommended the following places for locating these: Third floor of Kiel, top of '88, in the pine grove, south of the gymnasium during ex- aminations, top of Laucks Hall, and five extra large ones for the use of the faculty only. ENTERTAINMENT MOST EXCELLENTLY GIVEN School Greatly Honored During the Demonstration of Power of His Hypnotism on Humans NO ONE INJURED Professor Ross Most Pleased With Co-Operation of Dawson, Finch, and Bill Chapman The students of the Academy were given an excellent performance on Friday evening's entertainment pro- gramhby the work of the world-fa- mous hypnotist, George Ross. Each astounding act of the great somnam- bulist was followed by a thunder of applause. Professor Ross first ex- plained his act, saying that he derived his power from deep concentration coupled with a certain mystic charm learned in the Orient after years of research work. He stated that he would put his subjects into a soporitic condition and then make them do anything he so desired, such as re- quiring them to kneel and to point out certain coins previously designated from a large number. He then asked for volunteers to help him in his act, first warning the audience that a person with more than average in- telligence was needed, or else the act would result in a failure. Messrs. Chapman, Dawson, Finch, Aaron, Cort, and J. W. Woocls offered their services. Ross would first sit the per- son in a chair, have him close his eyes, and then would rub his hands across the forehead of the subject, meanwhile concentrating as deeply as possible. The first three were com- plete successes, the hypnotist forcing each one to do exactly as he directed. Aaron's case was apparently authen- tic, but Ross claimed that Aaron had faked his spell. The trial on Cort was a failure, Ross claiming that this was on account of a lack of coopera- tion and brain power on the part of Continued on page 16 2 THE MUSCLEB OUND NEWSLESS FACULTY ALL-STARS ARE OVER- WHELMED BY STUDENT ALL-WETS Continued from page 1 time out had to be taken to stop Rurnblee from looking at the Stars, Someone, possibly Dreamin, found the ball at the opening of the second quarter on the students' clothes line. The faculty claimed, by laws in the blue book, that the ball was theirs. Here Tarzan got his signals mixed and fumbled as a thought struck him Cpossibly from Dryfoosj. Orwig nosed out Furrier in the race for the ball. The students then started a deter- mined march Cthanks to the coaching of the Generali for the goal line. A long kiss from Tier to Eckles put the ball on the three-yard line, from whence Captain Tier leisurely walked through Rover for a knockdown. But Bibson hnrdled Eckles, who was 011- tertaining a fit, and asked Murray not to try for the extra pointg but Mur- ray insisted that he had thc right to kick if he wanted to, and refused to play anymore, leaving the field in tears. Rosenburg jyped Coach Mils- paugh into letting him take Murray's place. The timekeepcr decided it was time to end the half so he pulled the trigger of his little water-gun, much to the i'6l'1'0l' of Johnny Pillar who had a horror of getting his feet wet. The faculty left the field at the end of the half, but a spirited talk by the great end, Kisselmun, strengthened the morale of the squad to such an extent that Rumblee in his excite- ment, sat on the ball. To the dismay of every one no pump could be found to inflate the Battened oval. Sapman, however, volunteered to fill the ball with hot air, and the game was re- sumed arnid loud acclamation. On the first kick-off Morford, of the stu- dents, running in a regular Red Grange fashion, brought the stands to their feet by galloping a couple of hundred yards for a touchdown. The students to encourage the faculty de- cided they wonldn't kick goal. Tar- zan was ordered from the field by Referee Drown for arguing that Mor- ford hadn't run correctly because he had stopped to adjust his chemise. Coach Stalker of the faculty started to remonstratc, but being quieted by Head-linesrnan Gulf, substituted Tan- drew. The score now stood 12-0. Time out was called so that the play- ers could be refreshed by tea and cigarettes. The students then kicked-off to the faculty Halfback Blew, who galloped down the field like a t'pony only to be stopped on the 23-yard line as the bridle broke. During the re- mainder of the quarter the game was a vicious bull-session, with the fac- ulty leading on the smarting jibes of Satch, the Wheaton flash, who had been substituted for Bibson. The faculty opened the third quarter by losing the ball on general principles. On the first play for the students Swan had a head-on collision with Tandrew and was severely injured, but was soon revived by Dr. Neverin. Meanwhile Tandrew, in a dazed cone dition, picked up the ball and ran to the wrong goal, making a touch- down for the students. The wagons wide holes opened by Cobey, and the cute way Eckles and Bates made passes at each other soon netted Coach Millspauglfs student warriors several more touchdowns. O11 the last play Dreamin was carried from the tield in an unconscious state and is still in a dangerous condition. This was one game that the students came out victors. As the faculty left the field Furrier was heard to say that he wouldn't play any more unless he could be captain. The defeated halfback ad- mitted that he had seen the toughest game of his career. Passmore and Rosenburg then went to the Trea- surer's office to try and get a fair share of the gate receipts. HONOR ROLL MATHEMATICS Trigonometry ...,..................

Kramer and Cone JOHN GILLIES FLEES Confession Given by Wilson, Riley, and Eby Brings About Their Immediate Punishment The startling discovery of a vicious plot for the life of little Stew Hock- enbury, President of the most promi- nent organization in school, QThe Paddle Clubl, by Johnny Gillies, Stew Wilson, and Ben Eby revealed yesterday by student detectives Kramer and Cone is not rivaled even by the attempt of the great 'SS Gang Csonie more work of Eby and his cohortsl to store enough clubs and Irish confetti to shambattle the attack of the Paddle Club. Kramer gave as a reason for the withholding of this news that there were not suf- ficient funds to carry on the work of investigation until Coach Curran do- nated a large sum which he had won during his numerous match races with Paavo Xurmi Bennett, Ted Meredith Mickle, and Mr. Wide Bresslin. The arrest of XVilson, Eby, and Pat Riley, who was also implicated, was quickly made, and these murders were disposed of in style by the school disciplinarian after their con- fessions were made while they sobbed and pleaded for mercy. On the presentation of an I. O. U. Riley was allowed to live for a while longer and clear his conscience before he should die that horrible death of starvation in Kiel Hall. He claimed that John Gillies, prominent member of the four hundred of Musclebound, had bribed him with political prom- ises into the use of his room for the center of action of this wretched murder attempt. Riley tried to deny that he had ever been in the room when Gillies was there. He said he had made it a special point to make himself scarce. This didn't do him any good, and he was soon con- demned. It might be added that Gillies could not be arrested, as he developed cold feet when Kramer started making his arrests and hit off for Barneo where Cone is hotly trailing him to- ward Madagascar. SUCCESS THURSDAY Notable Assembly Gathered at Feast at the Myers Coffee House Regally Entertained DR. IRVINE UNDERFED Song and Dance Act bv Professor Dawson Received With Huge Applause of Few According to the custom of manv years Dr. and Mrs. I1'vine entertained the faculty and their wives of Muscle- bound Academy at a most elaborate banouet in the beautiful Red Room of the far-famed Myers Coffee House on Main Street just off Times Souare. The decorations were especially ex- nuisite, done in the antique colonial style, and much credit is due the committee composed of M1'. Bareham. Mr. Rublee, and Mr. Chapman for giving their expert services. The banquet was to begin, but after roll call it was found that Mr. Lar- sen, Professor of Orato1'y and Pub- lic Speaking, had not yet arrived: nevertheless it was decided to start without him, Mr, Smith, with his ready Johnsonian wit, succeeded in convincing that hungry mob that it was better that sixty should be kept waiting that Mr. Larsen might not be disappointedg and so on the arrival of Mr. Larsen three quarters of an hour later the banquet was begun. Because of the great lack of femi- nine grace there was a great rush for seats at the tables next the fair sex. In order that each pedagogue might have a fair chance with the ladies Mrs. Irvine suggested the rotational form of banquet for the women, that is that they should change tables at the end of each course, But Dr. Ir- vine, suffering from mal-nutrition, and in defense of the famished men, suggested that it would be far better for the men to move so that they might eat all they wished with no one noticing the excessive quantity thus consumed. After the plates had been removed Professor Dirty Dawson was pre- vailed upon to give one of his famous song and dance numbers entitled, How I Learned to Judge at a Swim- happened that this was found to be most lucrative because of the number of plugged pennies thrown at him. The next event was the awarding of prizes by Mr. 'Walker to the five fac- ulty members who have made the best record for attendance in Kiel Hall. We are sorry to say that these names are withheld from publication. Regardless, we publish this, that Dr. Irvine borrowed one of the prizes. namely, a ladies' vanity case, and in a most natural, graceful, and elab- orate style proceeded to show his guests the proper method for primp- ing in the presence of strangers. This act of Dr. Irvine put his guests in fits of laughter, and was only ended when Dr. Brown suggested that they had forgotten the most important part of the banquet-the after-dinner speeches, which might include post mortems, etc. This suggestion seemed to have a very ill effect on all, espe- cially Mr. Slade, a guest of honor and ex-faculty member, and everyone was much relieved when Dr, I1'vine ad- journed the banquet.

As the story reached the reporters of the Newsless, the disturbance be- gan by Mrs. Louis accusing one of the students of using a tttrotj' ac- companied by the statement that she would rather be guilty of stealing apples from a blind pedlarls cart. or pennies from a collection plate than to be guilty of getting her Latin from a Hponyf' The outraged student promptly replied by throwing his chair at Mrs. Lou, but fortunately missed his mark. Mrs. Lou retaliated by throwing the rebellious student through the window, whereupon the remainder of the class went on a sympathetic strike and carried their luckless fellow to the iniirmary, where bits of glass are still being ex- tracted from his skull. A second outbreak took place in the Wednesday Bible class. After the usual short lesson which was quickly finished Mr, Guzzelman dismissed the class, saying that that was all for the day. The students, desirous of hearing more, plied him with requests to continue his interesting discourse, so thirsty were they to find out about the great questions of life. Upon his second refusal the class became obstreperous and stormed from the room, went howling and hooting down the walk, where they hung their poor teacher in effigy because of his re- fusal to continue to spread the papal bull. Shortly after this a riot broke out in l'rofessor Furrier's class. It ap- pears to have started with an argu- ment among the students as to wheth- er Mr. Furrier was sitting up or standing down, whereupon a hot con- troversy followed, the students tak- ing sides on the question about equally. ln spite of the agonized cries of the master he was almost trampled to death by the students desiring the truth of the matter, and only managed to escape by crawling in a hole and pulling it in after him. Later he plat-ated the students by telling them some of his famous bed- time stories. lt is quite evident, from the danger which is being incurred by the pro- fessors and by the damage to prop- erty, that some remedy must be sought and applied, This can only be accomplished by implicit co-ope1'- ation between the students and the faculty. Less exactment on the part of the faculty, and less quarreling over grades by the students will do much to assuage the present irritated condition. The Newsless believes that this co-operation between the stu- dents and the faculty must be af- fected, and sincerely hopes that this will soon restore peace and order.

Roger Prior, stellar cross-country captain, the largest group ever to at- tend a performance at the Star Thea- ter, broke into a blood-thirsty group killing three ushers and injuring the new proprietor, Thomas R, Jackson. The group, which occupied a score or more of seats rose, upon being struck by a sudden poetic tempera- ment obtained at the senior class elections, challenged the hero, Tom Mix, who was viciously engaged in a fight with groups and groups, as it thought one more t'group would not add much to the danger of Tom, the group's idol. It proceeded to dash onto the stage, and plunge through the screen. On discovering that the moving picture show was a fake, that there Wei-en't real people acting be- fore him, as Hit had supposed for these eighteen long years, the ttgroup's streak of heroism changed to rage, and Uitl' set out for Jackson to get its money back. In an at- tempt to stop this barbarous group the ushers, Moreland, Cooper, and Von Fabric were torn into frag- ments. The life of Jackson was what the 'tgroupl' wanted, and it was out for exactly this. The squadron of local policemen, headed by Bruce, ar- rived at the exact moment to avert this, and grabbed this speeding, half- mad thing, threw him into the patrol wagon, and sped to the Mumper Stu- dio, which stands so stately near the huge railroad station,where the school photographer quickly administered a. few camera shots. Captain Prior, al- though still 'tgroupyj' was o11ce more himself. WHY NOT SEND THE NEWSLESS HOME THE MUSCLEBOUND NEWSLESS 5 PREMIER EXHIBITION OF GREAT INVENTION Event Takes Place in Drumm Labo- ratory of Physics and Chemis- try as Notables Are Present On Saturday last, before the great- est throng of scientific experts that has ever come to Muselebound, the gyroscope for stabilizing flying ish, invention of the head of the academy department of physics, was made known to the public. Although Mr. Yawcobs has his invention well cor ered by patents in this country and abroad, it was necessary to restrict the number of persons admitted to the hall to only those bearing per sonal invitations. Among the grea' assemblage of famous scientific men gathered in the spacious experiment- ing laboratory from all the world over, were the following eminent per- sons: Dr. E. Curtin, of the University of Edinburghg Dr. D. W. Wills, of the University of Jerusalemg Dr. W. Vibulayamonkal, member of the Si- amese Cabinetg Dr. W. W. Horlacher. University of Berling Dr. Immense Cochran. La Sorbonneg and Dr. Dar- rell L. Cone, President of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, University of Oregon. This important invention, the re- sult of many, many years of blind, thoughtless study and research, is an extremely great achievement for Musclebound, and her sons in the fu- ture will view with pride the honor thus brought to their Alma Mater, Dr. Yawcobs may be quoted as fol- lows: This invention, simple as it is, will be a revolutionary factor in the industrial life of the future. Yea, its force will be felt in every home every factory, all over our broad land and far beyond the seas. As the hour for the demonstration came near, the hour of the consum- mation of the hopes and dreams for years, great cheering crowds gathered around the hall, applauding for the great inventor and honoring the benefactor of all humankind. Because of weather conditions and possibly loose connections the experi- ment was unsuccessful. FORMER PROFESSORS ADDRESS THE SCHOOL Hon. Wm. Douglas and Mr. D. F, Chapman Make Plea for a New Building in Thursday Address On Friday morning last the regular Thursday address was displaced by a feature unusual in the school. Two former members of the faculty were present to give speeches for the pur- pose of raising money for the new recitation hall which will soon be completed, Both speakers are well known in Musclebound,having taught here for several years. Hon. William Douglas, Democratic Speaker of the U. S. House of Repre- sentatives, former instructor of Greek in the Academy, was the first speaker on the program. He outlined the benefits which would accrue to the academy from the erection of the new recitation building. He commented rather fully upon the great changes which have taken place in the school since he was here as an instructor. Mr. Douglas closed with fox-etelling a still greater future for the Acad- emy. He likened the great progress of the institution to that of Prince- ton, his beloved Alma Mater, under the hand of that great American edu- cator and statesman, Woodrow Wil- son. He went on 'great man, and to cially for his lofty ment, and for his greatest and most to eulogize that praise him espe- ideals in govern creation of that noble of all the works of man, the League of Nations. The second speaker of the morning was Mr. David Ferdinand Chapman also a former instructor in the Acad emy, and faculty advisor of the Newsless, now Editor-in-chief of the Ladies' Home Journal. Mr. Chap- man, as the Headmaster said in his introduction of the speaker, is also '1 noted authority on ancient lan- guages, such as the Sanscrit and Cuneiform tongues, and has written aided by his exhaustive study along these lines, a book entitled The Cor- rect Policy of the American Nation? in which he roundly berates such Htraitors to the principle of Ameri- can freedom as ex-President Wilson. for having even the audacity to pro- BECOME AN EXPERT HORSEMAN New Riding Atadtmy pose such a snare for the people of our nation as the League of Nations. Mr. Chapman's speech was along slightly different lines from that of Mr. Douglas, being less of a prophesy- ing nature and more of a recollective type. He dwelt at length upon the old Musclebound, also emphasizing its progress and development since he had left the faculty. He closed with a ringing appeal to the students and friends of Musclebound to contribute generously to this new building, and urged the alumni not to forget their Alma Mater in a time of such neces- sity. After the addresses the members of the Newsless Board entertained Mr. Chapman at tea in the Administra- tion Building, where he again gave a short, extemporaneous speech. He 'i'omplimented the staif of the pub- lication, and especially the faculty adviser for his noble work in bring- ing the Newsless above the level of a abloid weekly, adding to the Acad- 'my, through its publication, dignity ind lofty ideals, which could not help exerting a profound influence upon he students of the school. 6 THE MUSCLEBOUND NEWSLESS ROSS'S FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT MOST EXCELLENTLY GIVEN Continued from page 4 his SlllljQL'I.

It is said that his discoveries are of great import, but no one knows just why. The accompanying diagram shows a highly magnified form of the degenerate genus of ifyosari. found only in the highlands of the Great American desert. Its capture was one of the absorbing adventures of Professor Blotter. Professor Blot- ter sent this ifhyosaurus to his colleague, Mr. Von Radish, who brought to light the following facts concerning the bacterium: The insect lives solely upon its enemies, the fungi and fauni, which, in their efforts to capture it, jump up its apparently frail trunk, whereupon this part of the body exerts a mighty rebound, throwing high into the air the unsuspecting at- tackers. When the enemy return precipitantly to the earth, the ifhyosaurus falls upon them, sucking out their life blood through its stiff and hollow whiskers. That this beast has reached an exceedingly high stage of civilization is evident by the hair ribbon upon its tail. This hair ribbon can be placed upon the claudal appendage only by the ifhyosauri going through the difficulties and spasmodic con- tortions similarly engaged in by the genus homo in putting on a stiff collar. It will be noticed that tl1e feet of the bacillus have an extreme tendency to turn outward. This is so that when it suddenly applies its brakes while running through the sand, it can come to an abrupt stop. Its eyes are large in order that it can see in back of itself when it runs. This is a very necessary accomplishment since the creature runs backwards. Its capture can only be effected by seizing it as it sleeps and quickly removing its hair ribbon, whereupon the ifhyosaurus will faint of mortification. It may be lowered with comparative safety, by the tail, into a glass box and studied at leisure. 227 L -Xe E N- ,4 W' Y' 4.. - if l.

Gillies Seoretary-Treasurer--Edward L. Gruber General Manager-Thomas R. Jackson Sales Manager-William Fleming Chief Engineer-S. Lester Fichthorn Construction Engineer-Joseph Ross Chief Electricianf-Edward Harrington Advertising Manager-James Oram Foreign Representative-Barton Beeson Lawyer-Oscar Otto Circulation Manager-Russ Bockes One of the greatest achievements of the winter of 1927 was the development of the Slimonian Bog Power and Light Co. In the rear of Keil Hall appeared to be an abundant water supply which was unharnessed. A group of local engineers and financiers saw in that a prospect of a Super Power development. On March 8rd after organizing and financing what became the well known Slimonian Bog Power and Light Co., excavation began and in a few days work was well under way. A series of lakes was constructed which insured a constant supply of water to all the turbines and pelton wheels which were to be installed. By March 5th one pelton wheel was installedg during the next two days three other pelton wheels were supplying power. The company's only regret during the operation of these wheels was due to the burning out of bearings of wheel No. 1. The entire city of Mer- cersburg was left in darkness for nearly two hours. The subway and surface cars were without power. Doc. Myers was left in darkness with his store full of some of the members of the faculty of the University of Mercersburg. Not trusting the safety of his great supply of fancy delicacies, he remedied the situation by purchasing a few candles and an oil lamp. After a meeting of the ofhcers the next day, it was decided that a turbine was to be installed. This insured service to all our clients. Thus, the company grew and was put on a sound financial basis, paying its officers 558,850,000 yearly. The company progressed till Brother Funk's gang dug a big hole and drained the bog. The high speed turbines of the Slimonian Bog Power and Light Co. ran no more, the City of Mercersburg never again was without light and power, our president was never again approached by Penn Hall girls while playing in the mud on a Sunday afternoon. Such was the history of the great Slimonian Bog Power and Light Co. which ended its prosperous career by going into bankruptcy due to the robbing of power by Mr. Funk's gang. E. L.

Just take four tablets daily. No abnormal exercise or diet is required. Watch how vitality rises, how the excess fat declines. Marmola Prescription Tablets were perfected in 1907. They have been used for 19 years. The use has multiplied over and over as users have told the results, until people now are using over a million boxes yearly. You can see in every circle what Mai-mola means. Slenderness prevails now, excess fat is rare. In all these years nothing else has been found to do what Marmola does. Fat is a blight to beauty, health and fitness. It prohibits style and charm. Today it has no excuse. Go find this out. Learn What millions have learned of Marmola.

No Skinner Organ is ever built until a study has been made of its environment. After that the organ is planned to fit the space, the acoustics and the taste of the client. After the organ has been installed it is voiced and revoiced until perfectly adapted to its surroundings for after all an organ is no better than its tone. The organ in the Mercersburg Academy is a product of the best traditions of the organ builders art and is a Skinner.
