Nevin, our Acad- emy Physician. For twenty-six years Dr. Nevin has held one of the most responsible positions in our academy organization. He never hesi- tated to work to the point of exhaustion in the interest of Mercersburg boys who were ill. He has been complimented on many occasions by some of the most eminent men of his profession for his great skill in diagnosis. They said that Dr. Nevin's ability in diagnosis at times was almost uncanny in its accuracy. By correct diag- nosis and quick action he has saved the lives of a number of Mercersburg boys. 1o,oQfYgwLn,Nf-'fy-Yr af Q- -lf wfql- -.f sf V -,A i L .in ,.,l, QwfvwqvhwvxfvwQifQifU.lv-vvvvvvvvwqpoqvqpx 5. 16- 1 r Wmbnibnibahahwhoiifrhfsiiu41xQBfx4fxl3fxlifxh1fvifikwin '. 7, ,K. o-ow Q '. .'..'Jo Jm'.1 c'o't.1'wu'o'.

'Y ROGRESS is usually not so rapid and startling as to attract quick attentiong it rather moves slowly and unsteadily as it fulfills the degrees of Achievement. The Year of 1927-1928 will soon he a past year in the history of Mercershurg Academy-only one of many which have become vague memories in our minds. The accurate records of those years-the records which together relate the story of the progress of the Academy-rest in the annals. May the 1928 KARUX be a worthy member of that dignified series, offering in future days its episode of a long, in- teresting, and very human story. mixiffgifigiyfigixf-6QlE:il'gxfF+ni4iJi1 lf Q w wk wgt -xl ,ff fvv-Qu K.

Senior Class The days are swiftly coming and going, and all the excitement of anticipation convention- ally associated with an approaching convocation is magnified, for it looks as though the day of graduation has finally come. To some it brings sadness-having to leave behind those friends who have come to mean so much to themg but to all of us it brings happiness as well-having at- tained the goal for which we have striven so long, and having heaped self-satisfaction upon ourselves. Our class looks just about the same today as it did in the fall of 1927, when we started on the last leg of our journey, except for those few who found the obstacles too prominent. As a class we are proud of our accomplishments, for we feel that we are leaving a school which has been bettered by our presence and actions. For some of us school life has been one long, continuous uphill grind, for others the going has not been so hazardous, but for all of us it has been a profitable adventure, one that cannot easily be overlooked. And now that the end is about to come, we of the Class of 1928 take this Opportunity to extend our hearty congratulations to all Senior Classes of the future for their good fortune, and our most sincere appreciation to the Faculty, and all those bound to Mercersburg, for making our life here one of the most enjoyable periods known to us.

'24g Spider Swimming, '26: Life Saving Club, '26g Second Swimming Team '27, 'Zag Deelamation Contest, '27. Four years ago HArt'l appeared on the Mer- cersburg campus. Since that day he has made many friends among us. During school-time he devotes most of his energy to swimming, a sport in which he promises to be a star performer. Yet, though he spends nearly all of his spare time in the pool, he also shines in his studies, being a sure member of the magic, mythological first bunch. We have heard that in vacation he is often seen with a fascinating member of the fair sex. His roommate frequently hears him muttering wild things in his sleep, boding no good for his unlucky rival.

Here is one of the fixtures. uluewien spent bve years under the guardianship of Mercers- burg and her Christian Masters, and now he is ready for college. Well, good things take time. There is one thing that lie has been particu- larly loyal to, and that is his pipe. Although he has been very thoughtful of his incinerator at all times, LeWie has been seen smoking only be- tween meals. He has been singing with the Choir for the past two years, and the Glee Club ever since his voice changed.

THOMAS RADCLIFFE ADERTON Harrisburg, Pa. 44T0mv, Mansion House Irving: Track Squad: Class Day Committee, '28. Yes, we can say that Aderton is another one of those quiet fellows who thinks much and says little. That disposition is indeed something to be proud of. He has displayed his remarkable abilities on the track, where he has shown his good sports- manship and that he is a cracker jack of a good fellow. Although he has never cared much for the pigskin nor has ever had much to do with the horsehide pill, we feel sure that he will take great pride in the sheepskin for which he has so earnestly striven. May your perseverance be rewarded. JOHN P1211-'LY ALMS Greensburg, Pa. 4'Peze7' 'alohnnyv Kell Hall Irving: Irving Orchestra, '2T. Here we have him, a fellow from Greens- burg who really studies. It seems incredible, un- imaginable, and almost impossible. but it is true. In his two years here at Mercersburg, John has studied hard, and has succeeded in winning his goal. '4Johnny's favorite pastimes, when he isn't writing or talking about that girl from California, are the study of architecture and drawing. Be- lieve me, he knows his stuff in it too. He can even tell you what kind of architecture Main Hall is. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see him one of the leading architects of the country in a few years. We certainly hope Johnny has enjoyed his stay at Mercersburg, and we wish him the best of success at M. I. T. M. I. T. 31 i fi Q., is Mmm 'aw ft . .. ' - X- . 1 X .'

I-le has been with us but one year, and that alone is enough to prove to us that Edu is not slow in everything he does. Never in a hurry, never late, he is always punctual. His friends are numerous, his enemies are none, and we know that Princeton will find in Ed,' a worthy representative of the Lone Star state. Princeton lVlARTIN AROSTECUI, JR.

Well, friends, let me have the pleasure of in- troducing to you one of the smartest members of the class of '28, Just notice the fact that in the last three years he has not failed to get out with the lucky bunch a single time, and that last year he made a hundred in both Plane Geometry Exams. Mart,,' however, is no book- worm. He is interested in athletics, and he may often be seen in the Gym, boxing or swimming during his spare time. We have also been told that in the school where 'LBill Went before coming to Mercersburg, he made the soccer team, and showed remarkable skill at fencing. lVlart'i is besides a marvelous dancer. Finally, let me finish by saying that Mart7' is a real sheik among the women, and over in sunny Cuba there is a young woman who thinks of him oftener than she should. 32 r x ti irm-vflafs to or ff f2!f as 7 mil f t K, L l X 1.

And as a member of that vtdld and Wooly '88 gang, Buff has had his share of the dare-devil stunts of the school. If you notice the activity list above, you will find out that both Macy and LaFollette are real speakers, for we know that Mac has taken part in three declamation contests, although weire not sure about LaFollette. Not only his multi- tude of friends, but to be sure the faculty, will be sorry to see Mac leave. Amherst RICHARD CHARLES BACHMAN Sharon, Pa. ccDic-ku South Cottage Irving: Senate, '28q Karux, Circulation Manager. '27, '28, Dick7, can be told at almost any distance. His walk is in a class by itself, As one comes closer, his omnipresent smile is visible. Both these assets are used on Sunday morning when he helps to pack ,em in the Chapel. Although 'LDick'7 has roomed on our beloved Mr. Andrewis Hoof for two years, he has some- how managed to escape that hope-crushing re- mark, 'Lyou're in the Armyfl Perhaps his drag as a Senator has saved him this last year. Who knows? Not being content with going to classes, over which he loses little or no sleep, 4'Dick', has done at good deal to make the Karux a Success for two years.

Barty,s,' character is hest expressed in these words: Lightly from fair to fair he flew, and loved to plead, lament, and woof' We believe that one of his most out- standing characteristics is thoughtfulness and kindness toward his relatives. The numerous let- ters from his iiAunt in Ithaca prove this. Barry has achieved many honors in his three years here, which one glance at his watch- chain will substantiate. His studious nature and ready wit have made him a popular figure on the campus. Dartmouth HARRINGTON MESSICK BELL, JR.

That something is not hard to find in i'Harry,'7 for Whenever you see him you're sure of a smiling 'iHello. When it comes to studies, L'HaIry is exceptional, for he does lots of work and seems to like it. That's the reason he always is among the leaders of his class. We can visualize ul-larryi' in l948, talking to his sons like this: Now when I was at Mercers- hurg-.'7 Harry,' is sure to succeed.

'lBernie joined us three years ago, and dur- ing his stay here he has fully justified his com- ing thousands of miles to Mercersburg. Quiet and reserved, he has gained many friends, be- sides keeping up the scholastic tradition of predecessors from that far land, Korea. Not only has Charlie'l many friends among the boys at school, but he also indulges somewhat in culti- vation of friendships among the fairer sex, al- though we hear little about his affairs. Hidden under this quiet and staid manner of his, CWe are quite confident thatJ Bernie really has a sunny disposition among his qualities. Wooster J oHN RANDOLPH BEVERLEY Ancon, Canal Zone Randy7' Laucks Hall Marshallg Fifteen, '28, f'Randy comes to us from the far distant Panama Canal Zone, which gives his conversa- tion the tang of salt air. Even '4Randy's themes portray the glamorous rise and fall of Central American rulers, and his being a member of the Fifteen certifies that these themes are incom- parable ancl unfathomable, For friends at home '4Randy has sea captains, soldiers of fortune, and army oflicers. His is the knowledge of alligator- infested rivers, and of searches for pirate gold in the romantic countries of the Carribean and the exotic islands of the West lndies. This per- sonal experience combined with a natural apti- tude for study has rendered Randy77 one of the most outstanding students of the Year. Princeton 35 1 i 1 n 1'-an 'Y 'i'iOlv!

Princeton WILLIAM BISHOP BOWMAN Lewistown, Pa. Bill,' Main Hall Irving: Glee Club: Choir: Orchestra. I have it from reliable sources that one boy the W. C. T. U. ought to look up has been sta- tioned on this fair campus for nigh onto two years. i'Bill,7 is the man we have yet to see do- ing anything against the law. Except for the use of the Weed, he will make an ideal hus- band for some lucky girl in Lewistown. Bill's marvelous, musical, M melodious voice has added untold charm to the work of Mr. Bare- ham's troupe of opera singers, and On Sundays it mingles with the booming of the organ and with the rest of that wonderful organization known as the Mlercersburg Choirf, It seems queer that Lewistown should let 'LBilli, leave its streets, but where that fair city and Mercersburg are the losers, Dartmouth will be the winner in all things that concern this young man in his next four years.

In fact, the sum total of his knowledge would stagger the authors of that phenomenally ftry to pronounce that wordj popular 'iAsk Me Anotherv book. It is this facul- ty mainly, and Mr. Chapman's liking him partly, that has caused him to be appointed editor of the noble publication, The Mercersburg News.

As Upper Middlers this year we have prepared to equal in prestige and responsibility the enviable record of the class before us. This noble, if unoriginal, prophecy is not made through any false impression for we contribute a large number of athletes to the teams of the school, and a con spicuous group to the literary, social, and governing bodies. Tutschek, Rieck, Tom- linson, Wilson, and Bailey, represent us in football. Bockes, Carr, Mickle, and Bennett are reliable track men, the swimming team is ably supported by Lobdell and Edmonson. The Karux, the Fifteen, the News Board, the Glee Club and Choir, and that tacit, perhaps effective, organization, the Senate-all are for a large part composed of members of the Upper Middler Class. With a confidence born of ability, the Class of 1929 feels it will succeed in adding an adequate share to the events to be remembered by the future classes at Mercersburg.

This year the men of the class of 1930 have taken part in every form of extra-curriculum activity, which shows the versatile and enthusiastic type of men which constitute the Lower Middler Class. Every position that was won by these men was the reward of hard, consistent work, much of which was characterized by keen competition with the upper classmen. The class of 1930 was well represented on the gridiron by Cone, Weissenburger, Noble, and Swan. At the swimming meets Lobdell upheld the honor of his class, as well as that of his school, by his superior diving. Henderson and Cummings worked hard on the gymnasium team and did fine work in the exhibition. Mickle won laurels on the track, showing that we are not lacking in that realm of sport. Undoubtedly, when the call for baseball candidates will be issued, some promising material will be found among our ranks. While many are engaged in athletics, others may be found working hard and earnestly in fields of a literary or business nature. Many are on the various staffs of the News, Karux,'l or 'The Lit, where they have made their services indispensable. Some, of a more scholarly na- ture, spend a greater part of their time at their studies, striving for honors in that field. If we can make as great progress in our future years at Mercersburg, and in life, as has been made in 1927-28, our class shall surely win success and honors in all of its undertakings.

Although the majority of the class members are new here, they are nevertheless getting an early start in the in- teresting pursuits found in the school. The Class is well represented in the field of athletics and has already contributed admirably to the major teams of Mercersburg. The representatives in football are Henderson, Sweger, and Waggoner, all varsity letter men, and Burns, French, and E. W. Green, who played on the second team. Cobb, Draper, and W. K. Moore are members of the class prominent in track, Cobb received his letter in cross-country. Borynack and Burckhalter have been very successful in swimming. The Class is rep- resented on the News Board by Erstein, while Padgitt was active in the school play. This year's Junior Class has made an excellent start, both on the athletic field, and in the class room, and if its members continue to be successful in their various campus activities, they will make the class most conspicuous in accomplishments.

It is through this Organiza- tion that a medium is established between the faculty and the students, and all exist- ing evils are made known and overcome. Not only does this illustrious society in- clude 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 gov- ernment Of the school. Of the ten student members, one is chosen by the senior classg three, two Upper Middlers and one Lower Middler, are elected by the stu- dent bodyg one is chosen by the faculty members of the senateg two are elected by the Facultyg two are appointed by the Head Masterg and one is elected by the stu- dent members of the Senate. Since 1905, when it was founded, the members have fully realized the im- portance of their work and have made great accomplishments for the gratified stu- dents. By their earnest work and sincerity the Senate has become the nucleus and foundation of the traditions and the ideals of the school. 105 CL .. 1 r-J E 1-' o 'F' ,- Q1 EL '11 uf fu J bb 5.. 1 U M If 35 av CQ E5 E 5 I QS S 5 5 :S 0 M F' rr.

RUTLEDGE The Mercersburg Fifteen is the most important literary club in the Academy. It is composed of the fifteen students in the Upper Middler and Senior classes who have proved themselves of unusual ability in literary study and composition. Sev- eral of the instructors are members and assist in the meetings, which are held from time to time. This year there were, however. seventeen members. The general topic for discussion was Modern American Foetessesf' Two mem- bers at each meeting read papers on the life and works of the particular poetess un- der discussion, the first choosing the life of the character and the second her works. Following a general discussion, refreshments were served by two other members, hosts for the meeting. A distinctive feature of this year was the fact that there were no former mem- bers of the Fifteen in the school. This gave the fellows opportunity to form their own manner of conducting a discussion. l07 C F: 9' Q 2 cz as LC E 2 3 di 'C ,-1 9 Q f m E C3 53 E nn E 'S O I sf 5 an 5 .5 44 E Q ai .E Z U-1 xl Q 3 O rr 'U .': F V! ra an :1 c C1 U1 85' -153 Ac: Q53 Q 52 Fo SU n '-3: fa? o so :DI GJ . .

The meetings, which are held almost every Wednesday night in the Chapel, are only a small portion of the Work of the society. At the beginning of each year the organization distributes its handbooks, which prove to be a guide to all. A social uget-together was held the fIrst Saturday night of the term in Order that the new boys and Old boys might become more quickly and more intimately acquainted. During the Fall Term the organization was successful in making its canvass for mem- bership, practically every boy joining. The weekly meetings held the interest of all the boys present. The program of the meetings variedg some were characterized hy open discussion, some hy the address of a prominent out-of-town business man, others by the talk of several boys. and still Others by the speeches of college students, ex-Mercershurg boys. Each year the society sends a delegation to the Annual Blairstown Y. M. C. A. Conference. Last year the organization was attended by Marks, 728, Coflin. '28 Riley, '28, and Lucas, 928, all of Whom returned to tell of the more important events of the conference. The Mercershurg Academy Y. M. C.

The Choir this year is Mercersburgas second, and it has, indeed, done much to make our Sunday services so beautiful. The Glee Club and the Academy 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 1928 Choir was a little larger than the choir of the previous year, which made their ap- pearance and offerings all the more impressive. With but sixteen members left from the 1927 Choir, the choirmaster produced a group which was most successful. The Members Tenors Basses AARON BRESSLER Cox CONNELLY DIETRICK FRANK, F. M.

Treasurer - - WILLIAM ADDISON WILSON Sergeant-at-Arms - - STEPHENS PORTER BROWN History The Marshall Literary Society Was founded in 1866 in Marshall College, which is now Mereersburg. 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 debating, and of giving the students information on both sides of questions of current interest. These Weekly meetings all point toward the Big Annual Debate held on WaShington'S Birthday, the twenty-second of February. Mlarshall has Won thirteen of the twenty-eight debates from her rival, the Irving Society, but uWhether 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. 'fllold fast to that which is goodf' is the motto which has inspired men to go through school and college life applying this ideal to meet their need. 128 , rx 4 K! XFX A TV-'A ' f' JRR. -Mf-- ESE.

PERRY Since 1865 the Washington Irving Literary Socety, at that time known as the Mercersburg Literary Society, has always stood for the highest ideals of manhood typified by the motto of Mercersburg, uhard Work, fair play, and clean lifef, Not only on the debating stage, but in all forms of literary activities has Irving estab- lished a proud record. lts rival, the Marshall society, was founded in l866, one year later, and in 1900 Wasginaugurated the system which has made the Annual Debate the most im- portant single event of each year. Under this regime lrving has won fifteen of the twenty-eight 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. GEORGE E. Rosis, JR., '28. 130 4 J :-5 gf g NVE TM f .

Following out the plan inaugurated last year by Morford, S. D., '27, a series of attractive colors for the cover was arranged, giving The Lit an individual dis- tinction.

The first score of the year was made a few minutes after the opening whistle blew when Burns broke through the Freshman line, scooped up a fumbled ball, and crossed the goal line. Wilson missed the extra point. At the beginning of the second quarter, Vlfilson went through the line for a nine-yard gaing then on the next play Tutschek scored, and Wilson kicked the extra point. The next score came when Waggoner got off on a beautiful 37-yard run around right end. A bad pass from Center lost the extra 141 mgaj?'fP7 7 Q Y H ' XX? ..

The only other attempt to score was on Wilsonis placement kick from the 35-yard line which failed. The stars for Mercersburg were Tutschek, Waggoner, and Captain Wilson. Continuing the fine work of the week before, Mercersburg sent the Beckley Busi- ness College of Harrisburg home on the short end of the 27 to 0 score. Tutschek was easily the outstanding star of the game, accounting for three of the four touch- downs. Very fine open fleld running on his part enabled him to score twice on two runs of 35 and 4.5 yards respectively. His other score was a line plunge. Mer- cersburg's fourth touchdown was made by Waggoner on a run of 30 yards off tackle. In this game the line showed up well, only one first down was registered against Mercersburg. Captain Wilson did some very fine kicking in this gameg his punts were long and high, allowing the ends on several occasions to get clown under the ball. Saturday, October the fifteenth found Mercersburg losing to the powerful Princeton Freshman team. The game was hard fought from first to last and the weather was ideal. The only mar to the game was the further injury to Waggoner's shoulder which was hurt the day before the game. Despite this injury, he started the game and played well until he was forced out. c'Trix', Bennett made most of Princeton's long gains, and he also accounted for both of his team's touchdowns, one run being a beautifully executed dash from the 37-yard line, the other score was a fast run along the side lines and across the goal line. For the first three quarters Princeton clearly showed their superiority in ground gaining ability, and it was not until the last quarter that Mercersburg was able to gain consistently. This was ac- complished by forward passes. Tutschek and Bogar threw twelve passes, eight of which were received by Captain Wilson for a total gain of 78 yards. This brought the total up to six first downs for Mercersburg and seven for Princeton. The game with Allentown Prep. ended in a tie 7 to 7 after a hard fought con- test. The visitors showed a very deceptive attack, and it was not until the end of the first half that Mercersburg was able to show to any advantage. Allentown started the scoring at the beginning of the second quarter when McFadden crossed the goal line. Mercersburg scored late in the third quarter, and Wilson kicked the point to tie the score. There were a great number of completed passes by Allentown that nearly defeated Mercersburg. At the same time Mercersburg turned the tables as it was a pass that put the ball in scoring position. The last quarter was an exciting affair with Allentown trying vainly to score by the forward pass route. Their at- tempts failed, and both sides had to be contented with a tie game. McFadden was the star for Allentown while Wilson and Tutschek did well for Mercersburg. Mercersburg won its next game by defeating the Dickinson Freshmen in con- vincing style. This game, played on the Alumni Home Coming Day, ended in a 15 to 6 victory. The team showed a reversal of form from the previous game and out- played their freshmen rivals in good style. Etter and Henderson, playing their first varsity game, showed up extremely well, Etter scoring on a sweeping 43-yard run, and Henderson bringing down his opponents with powerful tackles. Mercers- 142 F' 7 , .X J' 21 F, digg fi ,, 2 N 4. HIARUX tl' 9 2 gil 5 lil 3.1 nurg scored a safety in the second quarter and a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter while holding the visitors up until the closing minutes when Dickinson scored on an intercepted pass. Captain Wilson, Waggoner, and Tutschek played well throughout the game. On November the fifth Mercersburg closed its season at home with a fiercely contested scoreless tie with the Gettysburg Freshmen. The same team which last year scored a single touchdown by recovering a fumble, thus defeating Mercersburg the first time in four years, presented a defence which the Blue and White men could penetrate to no effective extent. However, the visitors could not penetrate the Mer- cersburg defence for any great substantial gain. Tutschek, Wilson, and Bogar did some fine passing, but they could not get close enough to the Gettysburg goal line to score. Henderson played a fine game for Mercersburg on the defense, breaking up many of the opposition's deceptive plays. Rosen's Work in the line was effective. The final game of the season, the letter game, was played with Lawrenceville on their field. It was an excellently played game, and one of the finest of the season. However, after the final whistle blew, both sides had to be contented with a scoreless tie. The two sides, which had not met on a gridiron for thirteen years, played hard clean football throughout the entire game. Wilson, playing his last game for Mer- cersburg, was all over the field, stopping up a hole, tackling a runner, or carrying the ball himself. Tutschek and Etter also played fine games in the backfieldg both of them carried the ball effectively. Henderson, Rosen, Bailey, Sweger and Tomlin- son all played a bang-up game of football. Tomlinson once saved the day by a shoe string tackle when one of Lawrenceville's men picked up a fumble and started for the Blue and White goal. The last two quarters found Mercersburg constantly in Lawrenceville's territory and twice getting on the three-yard line. Once the team was held for downs, and another time was penalized fifteen yards when victory seemed certain. The game ended with Mercersburg holding the ball on Lawrenceville's thirty-six-yard line. To Coach lVlcCormick great credit must be given for having developed a truly representative eleven although handicapped by injuries to such an extent that al- most a new line-up was necessary for each game.

On account of their size they can not compete with the larger boys, so two teams, the Blues and the Whites, are formed. These teams skirmish against each other two or three times a week, and on Field Day they usually play their championship game. In many of these small games, much future material for varsity teams is developed. 146 G HL. ij 'OZ - ' -f , . TT qi 4f I V I wa!

Track Season of 192.7 The Track Team of 1927 was one of the most successful in the schoolis history. It not only won the Eastern interscholastic meets, but also the title of National Pre- paratory School Champions at the University of Chicago. Mercersburg opened its outdoor season by sending a quarter-mile relay team composed of Kline, Cooper, Mickle, and Captain Hutson to the University of Penn- sylvania Relays that were held on May the 1st, In one of the opening heats the crack Lawrenceville quarter-mile relay team broke the old worldis record of 43 3X5 by a fifth of a second, which was held by the Mercersburg team of 1926. Mercersburg immediately broke Lawrencevilleis new record by running the quarter-mile in the astonishing time of 42 4X5 seconds. However, due to a mix-up in the timing, both Lawrenceville and Mercersburg were ordered to run their races over. Later in the afternoon running on a track torn up by hundreds of college run- ners, Lawrenceville again repeated their feat of breaking lVIercersburg's world rec- ord. This left it squarely up to the Mercersburg boys to regain their record. These boys Hashed around the oval in 42 4X5 seconds, exactly the same time as before, set- ting a new world's record. On May the 7th, Mercersburg won the Princeton University Interscholastic meet with a total of fifty-six points, forty-four points more than the school taking second place. The individual star of the meet was Bernard Berlinger of Mercersburg. This husky athlete scored nineteen points, with two first and three second places. In the morning he won the pole vault at 12 ft. 2 inches, and took second in the shot put, javelin throw, and high jump. In the afternoon he won the high hurdles with the time of 16 7f10 seconds. Keith Burgett of Mercersburg performed notably by breaking the Princeton record in the javelin throw by hurling it 166 ft. 95 inches. Captain Hutson also showed up well by winning the 100-yard dash in 10 U10 secondsg he also took sec- ond place in the 220-yard dash. lVlickle easily won the 440-yard dash in 51 5f10 seconds. Other Mercersburg scoring was as follows: Benjamin won the broad jump at 21 ft. 7? inchesg Bockes and lVIcLane tied for second in the hammer throwg Ansell was fourth in the mileg McCarthy was fourth in the half mile, Benjamin took second in the pole vault, Kline was third in the 100-yard dash, and Armentrout was fourth in the 220 low hurdles. The next meet that the team took part in was the University of Pennsylvania's Interscholastic lVIeet. This meet was almost a duplicate of the Princeton Meet in the overwhelming number of points scored. Mercersburg scored forty-one and a half points to the second school, Peddie, who had twelve points. 150 'i Y Q, .. , Y 1' 1 .. ,V X Xi 6 TSQ ft fl, ,- A 1. ff or A 5 ifQQg ag . . . fe HAR wx -4 W li rf Ti' aj LP- an Barney Berlinger again was the scintillating star of the meet by scoring twenty points. He took first place in the pole vault with a leap of 12 ft., 42g inches, which established a new meet record. He won the shot put with a heave of 49 ft. 115: inchesg tied for first place in the high jump at 5 ft. 11:54 inches, and took second in the discus and the 120-yard high hurdles. Mickle of Mercersburg easily won the quarter-mile in the fast time of 50 1X5 seconds. When the race started, Mickle jumped into the lead immediatelyg he won with an eight yard margin. The other Mercersburg point winners showed up well. Captain Hutson was barely beaten in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes by Fitzpatrick of Canada in the fast time of 9 9f10 seconds for the 100-yard and 21 4X5 seconds for the 220-yard dash. Benjamin took second in the broad jump. The third place men were: Ar- mentrout in the 220-yard low hurdlesg Eliot in the shot put. The fourth place men were: Kline in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashesg Armentrout in the shot put, and McCarthy in the 880-yard run. On June the fourth Mercersburg took part in the National Academy Champion- ships held at Chicago. ln this meet there are two classes of events, those open to high school and those open to preparatory schools. Mercersburg was, of course, in the latter group and won the meet with forty-one points, establishing three new aca- demy records. Berlinger was again the outstanding star of the meet. He took first places in the shot put with a distance of 50 ft. 751 inchesg the pole vault, going over 12 ft. 53A inchesg and the discus throw. He was third in the high jump. lt is doubtful if many college athletes could have equaled his performance. Barney was disqualified in the high hurdles when he was sure of a second place. His pole vault height was a new Academy division record and is also the Mercersburg record. Captain Hutson did some very fine work in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, accounting for the new Academy record in each event. His time in the 100-yard dash was 9 9f10 seconds and in the 200-yard dash 21 4X5 seconds. Benjamin also showed up well, winning the broad jump with a leap of 21 ft. 773 inches and taking second in the pole vault. Other places gained by Mercersburg were: Mickle fourth in both the 220-yard and 440-yard dashes, and Eliot third in the shot put and Fifth in the discus. The Chicago Meet closed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. Only six men made the trip to Chicago, and five of the men placed. The success of this Championship Team of 1927 was due not only to the hard work of the team but also to the excellent and untiring efforts of Jimmy Curran. one of the finest track coaches in America.

Second Row: Coach Curran, Bennett, Bealor, Milliken, Strack, Manager Moreland First Row: Meese, Cobb, Captain Corrigan, Ansell, Shepherd p Cross Country 11927 With only three of last year's squad reporting, cross country prospects did not seem any too bright. However, with the aid of the new men a very representative team was developed by Coach f'.limmy Curran which showed up well in both the Pennsylvania Freshman meet and the National meet at Columbia. On Saturday, October 29th, the strong Pennsylvania Freshmen defeated Mercersburg by the close score of 26-29 on the home two and one-half mile course. Cobb, of Mercersburg, running a beautiful. race, won in the excellent time of 14' minutes and 50 seconds and was two hundred vards ahead of Belaly the first Pennsylvania man. Ansell, of Mercersburg, finished close behind Belaly for third position. Shephard, the next Mercersburg runner, came in sixth. Although Mercersburg took first and third, too many Pennsylvania men finished in the leading positions to allow Mercersburg to make the lowest score. Although this meet was not won, it looked as if the team would make a creditable showing at Columbia. On Saturday, November 13th, after the appointment of Judson Corrigan, ,28, as captain, the team journeyed to New York for the Columbia meet. Schenectady High School, against a very fast Held, again defended their title successfully. Mercersburgfs team took third place with a team score of 79 points. Terrell Cobb, running against a field of one hundred and seventy-four, was the first man in. He Hnished fifty yards ahead of the second man, giving Mercersburg its first individual winner since Bill Cox won the event in 19241. Cobb ran a very heady race saving his strength until the finish line was in sight, and then taking the lead and winning as he pleased. Ansell placed seventeenth, Meese twenty-second, Sheppard twenty-sixth, and Captain Corrigan twenty-ninth to complete the team score, with W. Bennett and P. Bennett following in forty- ninth and eighty-second positions respectively. J. V. ELIOT, JR., '28. 152 is A ii ,,,, X f ,if D' f KAPQUX 3 9 2, E5 rj we A L l 1 Second Row: Coach Curran, Shepherd.

Baseball Season of 1927 In 1927 Mercersburg's Baseball Team hung up a record which could in no way be improved upon, for the players representing the Blue and White did not lose one of the ten games played, although one game ended at the close of the ninth inning with a 4 to 4- score. This feat of not losing one game is especially remarkable because of the numerous handicaps which Coach Mc- Cormick and the team had to overcome right at the start of the season. When the call for candidates was issued in early March, it was found that there were only three regulars back from the 1926 team, and one of them, Wilson, suffered a knee injury which kept him out of the game the entire season. Wade and Stein, however, were available, and they both played an infallible game the whole season. lnclement weather prevailed almost solidly for a good part of the nlimbering up'7 session, which necessitated cramped quarters in the gymnasium. After a few weeks of practice, the outline of a smooth-running machine could be discerned. Bonar seemed to fit in very nicely behind the bat, receiving bo-th Angell and Peterson. Douglass soon looked great around first base, and with Riley, from the 1926 Second Team, at the keystone sack, the infield problem was solved, for Wade and Stein were permanent fixtures at third base and shortstop respectively. Jones in center field was a wonder, Young in left was great defen- sively, and Hetfield out there in right was the third member of the outfield. And then with Johnston, who could fill in almost any place with the greatest ease, the 1927 team was finally molded into shape. The season got under way April 9th, after three games had to be cancelled because of ill- fitting weather and wet grounds. The first team which fell victim was a team from Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, which was buried under a hu-ge 14 to 1 score. Angell pitched the entire game for Mercersburg, allowing but one single hit. The best part about this opening game was the aus- picious start 0-f the team as a whole, going right out after blood at the start, scoring three runs in each of the Hrst three innings. After several more days of earnest hard work and practice, the team met the Franklin and Marshall Academy, and although the competition was much stiffer, the progress of the team was quite evident, and when the game was called at the close of the seventh frame, Mercersburg was on the long end of a 4- to 0 score. Peterson pitched great ball for Mercersburg, setting down nine hostile batters in a row on strikes, and allowing only three scattered hits. The hitting of Stein and Hetneld was the feature of the offensive, that pair getting five singles between in as many official trips to the plate. On the following Saturday the team met the Reading Railroad Y. M. C. A., and to them goes the distinction of holding Mercersburg to a tie, by rallying with three runs in the last inning to make the score 4 to 4-. Peterson pitched this game, too, turning back eleven on strikes this time, and allowing eight hits, three of them coming in the last inning to give them the three runs necessary for the tie. Jones' hitting was the feature of the game, the stocky center fielder collect- ing a double and a pair of singles in four times at bat. The Waynesboro Athletic Club was the next team to appear at the Academy diamond, this delegation falling before a 12 to 2 count. Angell worked on the mound this game, and he allowed ten hits scattered throughout the nine innings, striking out nine. Mercersburg again started out with a rush, peeling off nine hits in the first two innings to total eight runs. Three-base hits by both Stein and Wade helped in this riot, the consistent hitting of Jones and Peterson who was playing in right Held this game was responsible for the most part for the huge score amassed. And then on May 2nd the team left for its annual trip to Princeton where it met the Prince- ton Freshmen on the following day, and Lawrenceville the next day. The game with the Prince- ton Cubs was perhaps the greatest game of the year, for although the team could gather only one hit, they shoved across two runs, enough for a victory by a 2 to 1 score. Peterson pitched won- derful ball, allowing one hit in each of the first two innings, and then setting down the hostile Tigers one, two, three, for the rest of the game with the exception of the inning in which the Princeton Freshmen scored their lone counter. A throw from deep left field by Young cut off one run, while the tight fielding of the entire team was magnificent. The Laurentians, on the following day, were stopped by a 13 to 8 score, in a game which was featured by the hard hitting of both teams, four home runs being clouted, with Hetfield and Bonar of Mercersburg each gar- nering one, and Treratola, the Lawrenceville catcher, bagging two of them. Peterson started the game, his second in two days, but after the first two innings, when six runs had been scored, Angell assumed the mound duties, giving the home team just two hits in the last four innings. 158 ,, Lf I '- 5 alla if ' of ' l 4 12-f--W-.N---.-M t ri fa PQ U X t t,a.3.f2,1. ,J - M fa.. fThe game was called at the end of the seventh inning because of rainl. Eighteen hits were chalked up by Mercersburg, Captain Stein accounting for four of them, and Hetfield three. The team met the Mt. St. Joseph High School Team when they returned to their own dia- mond, in what was undoubtedly one of the best games ever played on the Academy Field. The game was finally closed with Mercersburg victorious in the eleventh inning with the score 3 to 2. Peterson pitched the full eleven innings, giving but six hits, pitching great ball. The game was won when Wade went all the way to second base on an error of the visiting second baseman who nevertheless fielded brilliantly throughout the game, accepting eleven chances, some of which were difficult. Young and Douglass both flied out, but Bonar came through with a long hit to center field which brought in Wade. On May 11th the Gettysburg Academy journeyed down here to accept an 8 to' 0 defeat, col- lecting but five hits from Angell's delivery. The features of the game were Steinis home run to deep left center field, Wadeis pair of doubles, and a lightning double play by the visiting Get- tysburg team. The climax of the season was reached ten days later when the Lehigh Freshmen Went down in the Annual Letter Came, by an 8 to 4 score. The Mercersburg team scored two counters in the second inning, which the Lehigh Freshmen made up for with one in the third and another in their half of the fifth. Mercersburg ran wild in their half of that same fifth inning, however, when four men crossed the plate in rapid succession. From that point to the end, their lead was never imperilled. The Lehigh delegation collected ten safe blows, with the home team a like number. The extra base hits were numerous, four doubles and two triples being knocked to all corners of the field. Both Peterson and Strauss pitched fine ball, with the former having a slight edge by dint of his ten strike-outs. Wlade, although so badly crippled that a runner had to be put on the paths for him, played his best game of the season, hammering out three safeties, and handling nine chances at third base. Several post-season games were played, the Millersville Normal School losing to the Blue and White players on May 28th by an 11 to 3 score. The feature of the game was the successive home runs of Stein and Wade, both of these players hitting well all through the game. The Steelton Athletic Club was met in the Commencement Came, with which the home team wound up its season with nine victories, a dead-lock, but not a defeat. The final score was 4 to 0, with Peter- son turning back exactly fifteen men this time via the strikeaout route. The team and Coach McCormick deserve all the credit possible, for their indomitable spirit to win at all times, after dismal defeat in the form of most disagreeable weather stared them in the face at the opening of the season. With only two veterans with which to form a nucleus, Coach McCormick built up an infallible outfit, intact in all respects. Manager Swoope fulfilled his po- sition as manager with the greatest satisfaction and success. The spirit of the team, their con- fidence in themselves and their coach, the great aid of the second and third teams, and the faithful support of the student body all helped to make the 1927 Mercersburg Baseball Team one of the most successful teams Mercersburg has ever known.

COACH MILLER Swimming Season 192.8 l One can safely say that the 1928 swimming season is the most successful one that a Mercers- hung, team has ever had. They won seven dual meets, lost none, and placed first in two Inter- scholastic Meets, thereby Igaining the title of National Interscholastic Champions. Many fast times were made during the season, Eliot swimining the 100,' in 58 seconds, Spargoi the 100-yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 14 3-5 seconds, and the relay team, composed of Nicholson, Eliot, Pal- mer and Hoyt swimming the 200-yard free-style relay in 1 minute, 44 and 2-5 seconds. Lander lowered the pool record for the 100-yard backstroke from 1 minute, 11 seconds to 1 minute, 10 and 2-5 seconds. The most outstanding event of the season, however, was the establishing of a new World's Interscholastic record for the 300-yard medley relay on February 4, the Mercersburg team composed of Lander backstroke, Spargo, breaststroke, and Eliot, free-style, lowering the mark from 3 minutes, 24 and 3-5 seconds to 3 minutes, 23 and 1-5 seconds. Coach Miller called for candidates September 28, seventy-eight fellows reporting. Trials were held on the next few days, and thirty-seven were retained Then began a month of out- door training, consisting of games, touch football, calisthenics, and cross-country running, to prepare the team for the months of intensive practice to come. The Opening meet of the 1928 swimming season was held on January 8, against Loyola High School of Baltimore. Mercersburg had no difficulty in winning the meet, defeating the Baltimore swimmers by at score of 54 to 8. The meet was very one sided, the visitors not taking any first places, and only one second., Coon, of Loyola, placing next to Eliot in the 100. Lander and Lobdell were the outstanding stars for Mercersburg, Lander equaling the pool record for the 100- yard backstroke, negotiating the distance in 1:11, and Lobdell easily winning first in the dives. The relay team, composed of Wilson, Gray, Lattomus, and Hoyt easily defeated the Loyola entry. Nicholson won the 4'50,', while Bridge had no difhculty in Winning the 5220.2 Good Won the 100- yard breast-stroke, followed closely by Jorgenson. The 100-yard swim was easily won by Eliot in the fast time of 59 seconds. At no time in the race was his lead in danger. January 14 the Varsity swimmers defeated the team from the Baltimore Polytechnic Insti- tute by a score of 45 to 17. The Baltimore Poly. team, Winners of the Baltimore City High School Championship, had many good swimmers, among whom was Wamer Heston, brother of David Heston, whose sad death last year shocked the school. The Baltimore natators were able to score five second places, Thompson placing second in both the c'50 and the 100f' The re- lay was won by the Mercersburg team, composed of Nicholson, Morse, Palmer and Hoyt.

On January 21, the University of Pennsylvania Freshman team was defeated by a score of 47 to 15. Merriam, the Freshmaafs captain, was their strongest man, winning the only first place for his team in the 50,', and placing close-ly behind Eliot in the 100. For Mercersblug Eliot and Lobdell were the individual stars. The relay was won in 1 minute, 44 2-5 seconds by the team composed of Palmer, Nicholson, Eliot, and Hoyt, and little difficulty was had in establish- ing a substantial lead over the competitors. Lo-bdell Won the fancy dive, while the M502 Was won by Merriam of Penn. Freshman. Lander had no trouble in winning the 100-yard backstroke, while Bridge swam a beautiful race in the 220-yard freestyle, followed closely by Borynack. Spargo won the 100-yard breaststroke in good time, and Eliot easily won the 100-yard freestyle in 58 seconds. On January 28 Mercersburg participated in the University of Pennsylvania lnterscholastic Meet at Philadelphia.

The outstanding star of this meet was Arm- strong, of Tome School, while Palmer, Eliot, and Spargo were the stars for the Academy. On February 4 Mercersburg defeated Baltimore City College by a score of 52 to 8. lt was during this meet that the Mercersburg relay team, composed of Lander, Spargo, and Eliot broke the World's lnterscholastic record for the 300-yard medley relay. They negotiated the distance in 3 minutes, 23 and 1-5 seconds, which bettered by 1 and 2-5 seconds the old mark made in 1926 by Cahill, Lennox, and Anderson. The meet itself was rather one-sided, the visitors not placing first in any event. Wilson. Deitrick, Farson, and Lattomus won the relay fo-r Mercers- burg, while Bogar easily won the dives, although he was not far ahead of Shuford, a teammate. 166 .5 If fi -,X 'fifg i ' 1 .KHRUXE to Q til annum!!

Spargo won the 100-yard breaststroke with his usual ease, while Borynack placed Hrst in the 'L220. Cushman again gained first place in the 100-yard back- stroke, while Jenkins, a teammate, won the 100-yard freestyle.

They placed first with 35 points, Manual Training High School coming second with 13 points and All-Hallows third with 10 points. Mercersburg qualified nine men, and placed at least one man in every event. The Mercersburg team, com- posed of Palmer, Gray, Eliot, and Nicholson, won the relay, Nicholson and Hoyt placed second and third in the 50,', respectively, while Eliot placed second in the 100.,' Lobdell, Jorgenson, and Palmer placed first, second, and third in the dives in the order named. Spargo won the breast-stroke, Bozynack was fourth in the 220, and Lander placed second in the 100-yard back- stroke. This meet was a very important one, as a large number of strong Eastern schools par- ticipated. February 22, Mercersburg defeated the strong Princeton Freshman Swimming team by the score of 43 to 19. This meet is one of the feature events of Mid-Winter Week, and is always the hardest meet on the schedule. The natatorium was crowded with students and guests, who had come from near and far to attend the Mid-Winter festivities. The opening event was the relay, in which Hoyt, Palmer, Eliot and Nicholson, swimming in that order, defeated the Tiger cub team with the fair time of 1 minute and 45 seconds. Nicholson was closely pressed by Tu.rner in the last lap, but finished with open water between him and his rival. Lobdell and .lorgenson placed first and second, respectively, in the dives, the former with the high score of 98.8 points. Captain Turner of the Princeton yearlings won the SO in the fast time of 26 and 1-5 seconds.

Lobdell, Coach Miller mer Mercersburg student. Lander set a fast pace in the 100-yard backstroke, winning it in the time of 1 minute, 10 and 2-5 seconds, breaking the pool record made by Cahill, ,26. The 220- yard swim proved to be a race between Bridge and Borynack of Mercersburg. Borynack won in the time of 2 minutes, 35 and 41-5 seconds, but was only a few yards ahead of his teammate Bridge. Moles, of Princeton, defeated Spargo in the 100-yard breast-stroke by a scant margin, nego- tiating the distance in 1 minute, 15 and 2-5 seconds. The last event of the meet, the 100-yard free- style, was easily the most exciting. Captain Turner, of Princeton, led Eliot for the first 50 yards, but was finally defeated by a matter of feet, Eliot touching the end of the pool a fraction of a second ahead of him. The meet was full of close finishes and thrilling performances, keeping the enthusiasm of the spectators at a fever heat until the last man had finished. The last home meet of the season was held on January 25 with Chester County Y. M. C. A., Mercersburg winning with the one-sided score of 52 to 10. Lander was the outstanding per- former for Mercersburg, equaling his pool record of 1 minute 10 2-5 seconds for the 100-yard backstroke. In the 200-yard relay the Mercersburg team of Wilson, Aballi, Lattomus, and Palmer won with open water between them and the visitors, although their rivals held the lead for the first 100 yards. Lobdell won the dives with the high score of 99.6 points, While Wilson placed first in the 50-yard dash, followed a fraction of a second later by Barnhurst, of Chester. Borynack gained an early lead in the 100-yard breaststroke and was never headed. Dean barely defeated Aballi in the 220-yard dash, while Lander, as stated before, equalled his record in the backstroke. As the Karux goes to press, the nine men who placed at the Yale lnterscholastics are train- ing for the Individual Championships to be held at C. C. N. Y., March 17. Judging from their performance during the past season, it is to be expected that they will give a good account of themselves in this meet. Great credit must be given to Coach Miller for doing such wonderful work with the material given him. During the four years that he has been at Mercersburg, his teams have won twenty- six dual meets and lost only o-ne. His te-ams have placed first in five Interscholastic Meets, and second in two. In each of the four years he has been here, one of his relay teams has broken the Interscholastic record for their respective distances. Few schools, if any, have coaches that can equal the performance of Mr. Miller. S. M.

The Hrst exhibition was held on the afternoon of Saturday, January 28th, in which the team thrilled the many visitors and guests from the first event to the last. The Annual Gymnasium Exhibition, one of the functions of the Mid-Winter Week Festivities, was held on the morning of Wednesday, February 22nd, at 10 o'clock. The program of events included dumb- bell and Indian club drills, and apparatus work by the various .gym classes, all of which was un- der the supervision of Coach McCormick. The Work of Curran and Fisher in the tumbling class was especially noteworthy. The time and conscientious work spent by the gym team was very evident when their exhi- tion was performed. A huge number of visitors thronged the track above to catch a glimpse of the apparatus workers below. Their work was wonderful, and every one of the participants de- serves all the credit possible. This year the team was such a commendable one that six of its members, Aderton, Cum- minffs I.. L., Fentress McCallister, Steller, and Williams, the captain went to the National ln- ternational Meet held ,at ,lersey City, March 3rd. The greatest praise, is due to all the co-aches, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Blythe, and Mr. McCormick, but above all to the members of the gym team, for it was their work and toil which produced the results.

This service was held in the Academy Chapel at 10:45 A. M. on Tuesday, May 31 1927. Remarkable addresses were given by Colonel James Barnes, of Princeton, N. J., Brigadier-General Frank Parker, Assistant Chief of Staff, U. S. A., and Doctor Irvine. Preceding the service, Anton Brees gave a fitting recital on the carillon, fol- lowed by a prelude by the organist, John Croth. The portrait, which is the gift of the parents of Andrew Courtney Campbell, lr., was painted by Leopold Seyfferts of Chicago, lll., one of the most outstanding of the American portrait painters of the day. The inscription on the name plate is as fol- lows: 7 ANDREW COURTNEY CAMPBELL, JR., 1891-1917-Mercersburg, 1911 Sergeant-Pilot in Lafayette 1 Escadrille Brought down seven enemy planes. Killed October 1, 1917, near Pargny, the first Mercersburg boy to be killed in the World War. Buried north of Soissons by the Germans alongside of two men he had brought down. Later reinterred at Belleau Wood. Cited for daring. Awarded Croix de Cuerre with Gold Star and two Palms. Posthumously awarded the Medaille Militaire, the highest award of the French Cov- ernment. His -name is inscribed on a plaque in Les Invalides at Paris where- rests Napoleon, also appears on the Lafayette Escadrille Memorial in the Park of St. Cloud, near Paris. How can man die better than facing fearful odds?,' Colonel Barnes, President of The Board of Regents, spoke very beautifully of the glory of the American youth in the war and of the tradition handed by them to their followers. .lust before the address by General Parker, Mrs. Campbell, ac- companied by Mr. Campbell and Thomas Jackson, ,27, one of the Academy ushers, unveiled the portrait which had been placed to the right of the lectern. The charm of the parents, their brave bearing at this time of honoring their noble son, revealed the very essence of what had gone to make him a true son of his country, who had given all for his fellowmen. General Parker spoke on Service, stressing the events of the war from the outbreak to the close. He told of service from his own personal point of view of actual participation in the war and steady advancement. After Mr. Groth played The Marseillaisef' Doctor Irvine delivered the Memorial Address. 192 ffl- A. KH Q U .Fl ss,.,-Q.Ei C C e ff' ' ff tg lx ag- lie .

L KAR 9 22. ea FT th gig:-M I T Field Day Dinner On Saturday, November I9'th, Field Day, the one day of the year upon which the athletes of the school are glorified, was once more to be observed, causing it to be recognized as the Thirtyzfifth Annual Field Day. As cruel as it may seem, Fate once again tried to discourage the athletes by decreeing rather dismal weather for the occasion, but in spite of all the disada vantages, although no records were shattered during the course of track and field events, every event was a thriller, closely, cleanly, and keenly contested. The morning session was a most enjoyable one for allg many alumni had come back to their school again to recollect the fond memories of their bygone school daysg the entire student body was able to relax and to forget their class-room toilsg the multitude of parents and guests was completely absorbed with the string of athletic events, with the skill and grace of all the participants, and with the sportsmans- like attitude taken by all. At three oiclock, after a light luncheon consisting of sandwiches and milk had been served at the Temporary Recitation Building, everyone trooped into Keil Hall for the actual Field Day Dinner. After the blessing had been pronounced, a huge dinner was brought in, turkey, cran- berry sauce, mince pie, and all the delicious relishes and necessities which are conventionally as- sociated with such a repast. The dinner above all things, was enjoyed by all who partookg audible remarks were heard from most of the tablesg the scores for the day's football games were an- nounced by Doctor Irvineg and every table was a merry little group in itself. Immediately following the dinner the toastmaster, Doctor Irvine, initiated the after-dinner speeches by telling of the growth of athletics in the last generation. He cited the surprising fact that not so many years ago there Were but six football teams in the entire state of Pennsylvania, but that now there were many thousands with millions of spectators. This first toast was re- sponded to by Honorable Judge Benjamin Davison, who was followed by Dr. Brown of the fac- ulty, Mr. C. I.. Fleming, of Findlay, Ohio, Dr. Rutledge, also of the faculty, Dr. Stentgel, and Mr. Graham. The next event Dean F. Coffin, the years, who pointed noteworthy and an breaking the World lays was cited, the on the program was The Review of the Athletic Year which was given by captain of the 1927 Swimming Team and a varsity football man for several out that when taken as a whole, the athletic record for the past year was achievement. The incident associated with the Quarter Mile Relay Team's 's Interscholastic Record for that event at the University of Pennsylvania Re- fact that the 400-Yard Backstroke Relay Team, composed of Lander, Wago, Rodecki, and Jorgensen also broke the World's Interscholastic Record, was also mentionedg and in concluding Mr. Coffin told of the infallible 1927 baseball season, during which the team did not suffer a single defeat. A few songs were then sung by the student body, after which the winners of the football insignias were announced by Doctor Irvine. In a most fitting manner William A. Carr, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, stepped forward to receive the congratulations of the Head Master for the skill and speed he had displayed in the morning track and field events, which had enabled him to have his name engraved upon the Williamis Cup alongside such illustrious names as those of Berlinger and Hall. The singing of the S'Alma Mater finally brought the Thirty-fifth Annual Field Day to a happy and an impressive close. GEORGE E. ROSE, JR., '28. 195 47, sl w-w.n'!.'.1 X f . Wi 2i'i'tEr KEXPQUXSS 9 .2 8 3 rr Irvine Day On Saturday, October 29, 1927, the Annual Fall Alumni Reunion was held at the Academy when every class from 1896 to 1927 was represented in the gro-up of Alumni who returned. The meeting of the Alumni Council was held in the office of the Alumni Secretary at nine o'clock in the morning when only routine business was transacted, finishing the work of that body for the year 1926-1927. The Alumni Association met an hour later when the election for Councillors to serve for a a period of three years was held. The following Alumni were elected to the Council to serve until 1930: Joel T. Boo-ne, i09, of Washington, D. C., William F. Downs, 596, of Swarthmore, Pa., John S. Hershey, '97, of Frederick, Md., Harold U. Landis, '20, of Palmyra, Pa., and Wil- liam W. Matchneer, '06, of Columbus, Ohio. The new member of Council is Harold U. Landis, who was graduated from Mercersburtg in 1920, later entering the University of Pennsylvania. He was a student in the Academy from 1917 to the time of his graduation and has been keenly interested in everything that is done at the school. At the Association meeting, Acting-President Boone appointed Dr. John S. Hershey, '97, to draw up resolutions on the deaths of Henry President of the Alumni Association, and George D. Albert, '96, former In the afternoon the football game with the Dickinson Freshmen 15 to 6. Between the haIves of the football game, the University of Simon Sipple, ,96, and B.

He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and ten other decorations and citations for extraordinary heroism in Belleau Wood, Soissons, St. Mihiel, Champagne and Meuse-Argonne in 1918. He is the highest decorated of Mercersburg's seven- teen hundred twenty-one Alumni who were with the colors. Dr. Simon Sipple, '96, pastor of Zion Reformed Church of Allentown, Pa., was elected First Vice-President of the Association, and Carl E. Rieck, '11, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was re-elected to the Second Vice-Presidency. tMr. Rieck has resigned from the office of Second Vice-President since this meeting and ,Iohn S. Hershey, '97, has been elected to take his place.J The Fourth Annual Irvine Day dinner was given in Keil Hall in the evening as a testi- monial to Dr. William Mann Irvine, who was beginning his thirty-fifth year as Head Master of the Academy. Among the speakers of the evening were Carter Field, Chief of the Washington Bureau of the New York Herald-Tribune, George M. Kirk, '09, of the Personnel Oliice of the New York Stock Exchangeg Mr. Wilmarth I. Iacobs, head of the Physics Department, who rep- resented the faculty, and Dr. Irvine. Dr. Robert A. Brotemarkle, ,12, Personnel Officer at the University of Pennsylvania, acted as toastmaster. 196 of Y' 473: 1 T? 'fi 4, 7 MJ.- -.W.-.. .J- unmmmmma L tm. New Main Hall Occupied At 1:30 A. M. Sunday morning, January 9th, 1927, a fire which originated in the trunk room of Buzzards Roost, Main Hall, burned that building to the ground by 4:30 o'clock that morning. Despite the valiant efforts of the Mercersburg, Chambersburg, and Waynesboro fire companies the Hames quickly swept under the slate roof through the attic of the whole building before water could be played on the source of the Ere. Nobody was injured, few suffered great loss of property, the school, however, in the loss of the building and equipment faced 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 312,000 During the Civil War after the Battle of Gettysburg many of the Confederate soldiers, injured in the great conflict, had been quartered in Main Hall. Sixty years later, when Dr. lrvine first came to the Academy as Head Master, the east wing, containing the Assembly Hall, was built, costing 359,000 All the recita- tion rooms, the chemistry laboratory, the library, the mechanical drawing department, the as- sembly room, storerooms, as well as rooms, accommodating eighty boys and six instructors, were located in this building. The complete loss of the library was one of the hardest to replace. New Main Hall was designed by Charles Z. Clauder, of Philadelphia, Pa., and the con- tractors were Ferguson and Company, of Hagerstown, Md. The new buildings are a decided improvement over old Main Hall. The east wing, built against the end of Main Hall, did not provide a satisfactory arrangement since it shut out too much light and brought inconvience to certain rooms. ln New Main Hall this difficulty was solved by making the east wing, con- taining the Assembly Hall with rooms for a few boys and instructors, a separate building. The two units of the new Main Hall stand thirty feet apart and are connected by a beautiful colon- nade of Creek pillars. The building was under contract to be finished by November l, 1927. As is the case in the erection of many large structures there were several unforseen delays. These delays caused the moving day to be postponed to the first of December. Then by a vote of the boys who were to occupy the building it was decided to again postpone moving into Main Hall until after the Christmas holidays. This second postponement enabled the contractors to have the build- ing completely finished, as would not have been the case had the boys moved December lst. An increased number of rooms allow the modernization of some of the other dormitories, which will probably be done this summer. The two units of Main Hall now accommodate over a hundred boys and eight instructors. The devastating fire left scarcely a vestige of the famous old building and the heating sys- tem which ran under Main Hall was partially destroyed. The Academy was closed for two weeks by decision of the Faculty in order to repair the heating system and construct a tem- porary recitation building. At the end of two weeks the recitation building, modern and ade- quate, was completed and ready for use, it was constructed directly south of the '88 dormi- tory, east of the road leading to the Chapel. The boys who formerly roomed in Main Hall were quartered in Wayside lnn, Myers House, the Gymnasium, the large Infirmary, and the Daub Apartment. 197 7. fl ' ' r ' XY f . f f- x X W'- ff Wife. 11 1 A .

Disgusted, he lay down and soon fell asleep, dreaming of his frequent engagements with his lady love. It was certainly aPAWLING the number of times she would say, 'iGive me a HOTCH- KISS. And he would reply, I donit TAFT to. Aw, just one little K1SKI,,' she would beg. No, l KENT PEDDIE,7' he would insist.

For example-Water that quenches fire is the combination or mixing togeth- er of two highly iniiamable gases, hydrogen and oxygen. Thus a non-iniiamable liquid is made from highly inflamable gases. Sir Robert Hadfield, eminent Chemist and Metal- lurgist, combined chromium with iron and found the resulting alloy resisted rust. An enormous saving has resulted in cost and up- keep of metal equipment for the home and in- dustry. ASCOLOY is a chrome-iron alloy that resists rust. ALLEGHENY METAL is a chrome-nickel-iron alloy that will not rust. Allegheny Steel Company General Omces and Works: BRACKENRIDGE, PA. NEW YORK CHICAGO DETROIT MILWAUKEE 230 MYERS' RESTAURANT D. L.
