If as years pass and mem- ory slowly loses its whetted edge, this brief chron- icle of events in our Alma Mater fails not to carry us, though but mentally and temporarily, to this campus, the stage upon which we enacted the happy, virile dreams of boyhood and companion- ship, we shall consider the publication you now read a far from futile accomplishment.

A privilege has been given me to send you a message through the medium of the 1934 Karux. While this privilege is accorded me, my message comes to you from the entire Alumni Association. 'T EAR MERCERSBURG SENIORS: 'Zo We are indeed happy to congratulate you on your graduation and to extend the warm hand of welcome into the Alumni Association. You are now qualified to join our organization. While we are happy to have you as members in the group that have passed out of the portals of the classroom of the Academy, we cannot but regret with you that you will no longer be students in the School of which you have become an integral part. We your predecessors would welcome the opportunity once again to be- come students on the beautiful Mercersburg campus. Time unfortunately does not go backward. When your name is read out to receive your diploma, you step forward to receive a certificate that attests to the fact that you are no longer a Mercersburg student. While with that step that you take here will be a hrill because of the realization that you have accomplished an objective yet there will also be a heaviness of heart in the conscious- ness that your Mercersburg student days will never be yours again. As the years pass you will long for those days. You can gratify your souls' desire in a modified form in the years to come. Actively associate yourselves with the Academy from the day of your graduation through the medium of the Alumni Association. For the Hrst few years you may wonder just how much an association benefits either the Academy or yourselves. Sometimes there will come to you from the unknown a full realization of the value of such relationship. You will sense not only pride but deep satisfaction that you have contributed, merely by the listing of your name with such a body, an inestimable service to your Alma Mater. If your name is given to an activity, your spirit will be there and if your spirit, then your mind just as long as you live. The Alumni are the life-blood of any educational institution. Each of you are needed to sustain the Academy. Some of you may aid in the material things of life, others in that intangible substance known as Service. The poorest one of you, in what is known aswealth, can contribute the greatest if he is so minded. Keep in close contact with the Academy and not only stand ready to aid her but seek ways and means of serving her from today on. Do not wait until you think that you are more advantageously able to give of your substance. Live to serve whether it be your preparatory school, your com- munity, your state, your nation or our fellowman the world over. Yes, live to serve! As you leave the Academy for wide fields of service, the Alumni of Mercersburg Academy put their arm of affection about you in brotherly reunion and whisper in your ears, Go forth to battle in the world of opportunity for service and God bless you. Faithfully your friend, fSignedJ JOEL T. BOONE, '09, President, Alumni Association. 4 r 1 R ,-wq.ywiwpggVw5'yrqgjr4.5Lmq ' 3 ,X .... ,M 5',,,,m. 1, ,KM , . . X 1 , -. , w 11,244-y, DR. JOEL T.

Valedictory to the Class of 1934 From the sfeps at close of day Rings the cborus loud and clearf' DEAR FELLOWS! Many a time that chorus will re-echo in the ears of your remembranceg many a face will shine again in quickened memories of fellow, comrade and friendg many a scene now ordinary in your daily experience will shine in the light of romance and beauty recalled. Happy indeed it is that such is true, for the last steps-songs of your school days will be one of the last occasions when your whole group will be together. Some things happen like that and never come again. So it is true as the song says that it is the close of day,', the day of boyhood, the school day, the day of protection and shelter and guidance and simplicity. Boyhood closes. The dew of the morning begins now for you to disappear under thc brighter and hotter glare of youth and early manhood. This is strong and challenging and noble and right and as it ought to be but you ought to remember and to take it into full account. A chorus rings loud and clear because there is volume and precision of utterance. Many voices together make a loud chorus when the spirit of enthusiasm and vigorous participation is expressed. That chorus rings clear when those voices blend in a fine harmony and enunciate distinctly the burden of the song. This is a symbol, dear fel-- lows, of that fine spirit and that definite devotion which have characterized this year of the school when you have been Seniors. As fine a spirit as ever we could have wished has made the chorus loudg as fine a general devotion and morale as you could wish to remem- ber in your school days has made the chorus clear. For this spirit and devotion I thank you with a full heart. Every day closes that a period of rest and renewal may prepare more adequately for the challenge and privilege of the next day. May the next day be brighter for you than any day yet has been and happier too. Let that interval that lies between this day of school and that day of college be for you an interval of thoughtfulness and meditation, of remembrance, of evaluation of the things that boyhood has brought you, that you resolve to carry over as your resource and reliance for the manhood days.

THE KARUX. 1934 FORTY Senior Class History 40 the fellows of the graduating class Commencement has a double significance, D for it is at the same time both the autumn of our life at Mercersburg and the spring of a new existence. This is a process which has, of course, gone on for years, so that each senior class becomes a part of the Whole. Nevertheless We feel that our class has not only upheld the best and Hnest of traditions, but also dis- tinguished itself individually to an unusual extent. A record of outstanding scholastic achievement has been augmented by excep- tionally fine extra-curricular activity, and by an athletic record unexcelled in the history of the school. These attainments, and indeed the entire character and fullness of our days here, have been made possible for us only by the devotion to duty and service of our faculty and administration, and by Mercersburg itself. lf, in the years ahead, we are able to carry on and fulfill in some measure the ideals of those who have gone before we shall feel that they have been justified, and that we have made an attempt at repayment. The class of nineteen thirty-four hopes that it has set up a worthy precedent for those that follow, and to these and to Mercersburg we wish the glory of success.

Another of his habits is his willingness to help Hercules. At almost any time he could be found arguing with Bill Moreland, another hill- billy.

This habit of greeting the world with a smile is the thing that most en- dears Hal to those who know him, and thus he is one of the most popular boys on the campus.

OCP has a host of line attributes, I but chief among them are his jov- fg ial good-nature, his remarkable Y' personality, his educated accent. and the fact that he comes from the smil- ing little city of Cumberland. Everybody of any account in the Mercersburg 400 knows where Cooper and Wyglnt live. Their room is usually full of singing fel' lows of a Saturday or Sunday night. It is perhaps this association with Coop, and his sunkist disposition that most en- dears him to all those who are privileged to know him. He is one of the few fel- lows in the South who is not boisterous. and we like him the more for this char- acteristic quietness. The campus will be the sadder for his going.

THE KARUX. 1934 LAWRENCE CHRISTMAN ZEGER Colonel Munciznsiiunc, PA. ERE is one of the village's own sons, and a good reason for her to be proud. After graduating from the Mercersburg High School, Colonel Came here as a day student for a year in which time he has gained for himself an enviable record as a hard work- er and a reputation as a likeable fellow. His jovial manner has made many good friends for him, and it will always be the same wherever he is. His personality has been felt by all, and we can see that it will make a big hit at Dickinson, to which college we send him on with our hope for his success. lrving.

THE KARUX, 1934 EIGHTY-EIGHT History of Upper Middler Class F OR a considerable time Mercersburg has prided herself on school loyalty, on her power of making men, and on her fine sons. 5 . We, of the Upper Middler Class, feel that we have done all that is possible to substantiate our school,s fine name in such matters. In an athletic sense we have augmented the football team with such fellows as Dickl' White, Hutchison, Bayer, Snyder, Simpkins, Geddes, Kennedy, Simpson f Jimmie j and Oat, being the Manager. In Wrestling, Ardolino, as Captain, Rogers, Scott, DeGregori, Carrick, Kelly fjoej, and again Snyder kept the school team in the fore, while Mutchler, E. A. Brown, Conrad, Salter, Leland, Kennedy and C. W. Fisher, have done more than their share on the Track Squad. The Swimming Team may well boast of such fellows as Macionis, johnson and Winkelmann. The Baseball, Tennis, and Soccer Teams, too, have been swelled with members of our class. However, our prowess is not only in an athletic sense, for we have been repre- sented in every activity in the school, especially The News, The Choir, The Stony Batter Dramatic Club, The Senate, and The Fifteen. Also, week after week, the Honor Roll has been filled with members of our class, not a few, but many, not many different ones, but a certain group that helped to keep the class average up. All in all, we feel that we have succeeded in keeping up with the preceding Upper Middler Classes and have tried to set a few new marks for the following classes to attain.

THE KARUX, 1934 NINETY-FOUR History of the Lower Middler Class S year our Lower Middler Class has proven to be one of the most outstanding T ss's at HI ? and versatile groups in the history of Mercersburg. Honorary ability is very l evenly distributed throughout the class. Thomas is outstanding on the swimming team, while Commito, Bradway. Martz, and Schweitzer represent the track squad. Shields, Martz, Bradway, Trout and Cashdollar are members of the undefeated football team. Prominent contenders on the Wrestling squad are Smith, Trout, and jalkut. Turning to the other side of the school life we have Walker interested in the Y. M. C. A., and Commito an honor student in his scholastic program. As well as all these activities we are represented in the Glee Club, Orchestra and Choir. With this Hne material and makin such r 'd h . g api progress, not ing should prevent it from becoming one of the greatest Senior Classes in the history of Mercersburg Academy. JOHN M.

In athletics we were represented in several different fields. Weis was on the Swimming squadg Nittoli, a letter man, played on the varsity Football team, and Malcolm was on the Wrestling squad. We, the members of the Class of 1937, feel that we have had our share in athletics ns well as other phases of the school life, and we wish to thank Dr. and Mrs. Edwards, the members of the faculty, and the members of the student body for all they have done to make our first year at Mercersburg happy and successful.

Since hrst organized D by Dr. Irvine in 1905 this group of fellows has so risen in scope and import- ance that membership in the Senate has now become the most exalted and 'E' looked-up-to otiice which a student in the School can hold. The members of the Senate are the true leaders of the Academy in every branch of extra-curricular activity imaginable, all fellows of high character and principle. Members of the Faculty and the student mingle in the Senate, working together and thinking together in order to help the existing conditions in the Academy at the time. Mostly through the Senate is the student body represented, and through the Senate are our rules bettered and are our privileges granted. lt is the ability of any student in School to have his thoughts put before the Faculty by this body. Thus the student is made to feel that he has a share in his own government. The Senate of this year has been extraordinarily fine in that they have co-operated easily and successfully with the students as a whole, and in that there have been no hypocritical moves made by any member of this year's group. Because of these factors there has this year been less need for disciplinary actions on its part than ever before in the history of the Academey. The members, both Faculty and student, are to be heartily congratulated for the manner in which they steered the S-chool through this past year so easily yet so very satisfactorily. It is only because of the manner in which these student members are chosen that such satisfaction can exist. There are in all ten student and tive faculty members, including Dr. lidwards. Two Upper Middlers and one Lower Middler are elected by tl.e Student Bodyg one member is chosen by the retiring Senior Classg one is elected by the Faculty members of the Senate, two by the Faculty as a whole: one is picked by the student members of the Senate, and the final two are selected by Ur.

The Fifteen INCE the student membership of the Mereersburg Fifteen is made up of only those fifteen fellows showing most marked ability, appointment to this group is acknowledgment of work well-done in the study of English and of theme- L J writing. In the six meetings of the current year the subject was Recent ,Amer- ican Novelists. The meetings were given over to the discussion of some particular .iuthor's work, each member making a contribution of some sort in addition to two comprehensive essays on the life and works of the author or authoress for discussion. prepared by student members. The English Faculty also takes part by giving interesting speeches in the delightful informality which characterizes the meetings. The meetings are always made still more interesting by the originality and differences of opinion evidenced. The presence of the feminine members, the wives of the English Faculty, serves to a great extent to make the meetings more enhancing. Besides the meetings which are held in the Administration Building and in the Library, several of the meet- ings are given a wholesome, homelike atmosphere when they are held in the homes of the Faculty members and at North Cottage. This body is unquestionably the highest intellectual group in the school life, and, together with being the highest tribute to literary accomplishments that Mercersburg pays, it is distinguished for good fellowship and congeniality.

A. fills. lfrom the gong of the first bell in September until the lqugiikgl diplomas are handed out in june this organ of life on the hill functions unceas- ' ingly. On the initial Saturday evening of the fall term the first meeting is held, and it is here that the fellows in school begin to know one another: it is here that the bonds of friendship are first tied. At this meeting the Y. M. C. A. Handbook is dis- tributed to everyone. This handbook contains the school cheers and songs, the names of the visiting preachers in order, brief descriptions of places around Mercersburg worth visiting. along with a host of other useful information. Meetings for this organization are held on Wfednesday evenings, having addresses given by members of the liaculty and outside speakers. Nor are the bonds of the Y. M. C. A. restricted to the campus, for each Sunday different members of the Cabinet go out to the Gap about three miles from town to teach Sunday School there. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time the Y. M. C. A. canvasses the dormitories for old clothing of any sort. This clothing with baskets of food is sent to the poor families of this immediate community. As usual this year a delegation consisting of three fellows and Mr. Kidd. adviser to this Board, was sent to the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Buck Hill lfalls. Mention must be made here of the extraordinary work of Leslie Paffrath as President of this organization. This is the second year in succession that he has headed it, and he deserves to be more than congratulated for the manner in which he has handled his office.

The Cum Laude Society holds the place in the academic world corre- sponding to Phi Beta Kappa in the collegiate world. Membership is granted only to those Seniors in the first 20 per cent of their class, provided the general averages of that 20 per cent exceeds 80 per cent. Those members of the Faculty who are Phi Beta Kappa men, heads of depart- ments, or executive officers, have been accorded membership in the Academy Chapter. Faculty members have been appointed ofhcers of this group. Thy are: Dr. Calvin Austin Brown, Head of the Mathematics Department, President, Mr. William Douglas, Head of the Greek Department, Secretary, and Mr. David F. Chapman, Head of the History Department, Treasurer.

The Stony Batter Dramatic Club , INCE 1934 marked the Fortieth Anniversary of Mercersburg Academy's dra- A matic group, all efforts were made to produce a play which would be both fit- ting for a celebration and in itself an accomplishment. The society, having ' presented Richard Brinsley Sheridan's Tfac' School for Scandal in 1904, and The Rivals in 1913, deemed it fitting to offer his third famous play, The Critic, on Feb- ruary 22, 1934. To accomplish the intended purposes of satire and melodrama re- quired capable and strenuous coaching. The School was fortunate in having as Dramatic Director Mr. Pratt Lorenzo Tobey, under whose able instruction this difhcult play was pursued to a successful staging. In the Academy production everything was done to create the proper atmosphere, and the music, under the skillful direction of Mr. Lewis Niven, was a very important factor. A string ensemble of seven members, fully costumed, played by candlelight selections from George Frederick I-Iandel's famous Wafer Music'k, which was used in the original production of the play in 1779. Between the acts a group of eight costumed singers, also directed by Mr. Niven, sang Hc'rz x a Hfalflz Unfo His Majcsfy, by Saville, Tbougb Your Sh'dVlgl'l1l'SS Iirvfx My Hearf, by Robert Jones, and Come, Sirrafa lack Hoi, by Thomas Weelkes, all period compositions. Delighted by the eighteenth century tone established by the overture, the audience was in a good mood to be highly amused by the critical and sarcastic first act, in which a number of English people discussed plays and actors of 1779. The act ended with the decision of three characters to attend a rehearsal of The Spanish Armada, the tragedy whose representation constituted Act II of The Critic. With a charming -repro- duction of Old Drury Lane Theatre as a setting, the mock tragedy went forward with gathering momentum, all the actors fulfilling their parts in the old-fashioned, operatic grand manner. The intentionally trite chronicle-a heroine's struggle between love and duty under lowering clouds of war-unrolled quickly, rising to the stirring duel between the Spanish and English lovers, the subsequent famous mad scene of the heroine, and the climactic and noisy battle of the Spanish and English ships. With the destruction of the foreign ship, the entire cast-then off stage-sang God Saw The King most lustily, and with a brilliantly colorful grand finale, the play ended. THE KARUX. 1934 i ONE HUNDRED FQURTEEN ALI II, NIUNX IIA'l I'IiR I'l.AY In staging The Crifif' over forty people worked strenuously from early in Decem- ber, and the excellent finish of both music and acting excited much favorable com- ment. The Mercersburg News hailed the play as the best in twelve year period, which Hsparkled with finish, appreciation, and thoroughness. The Chambersburg Public cjllilljllll said the comedy was considered one of the best ever produced at the schooI.', A worthy music critic declared the work of the string ensemble to be the most finished instrumental music ever accomplished at Mercersburgf' D1'u111u1'ii' Couch I'1'1'.iiili'11l Vin'-Prc'.vi1f1'11l , Sr'1'I'1'1'rIr-1' 7'm1.i111-vi' Presented February 22n ul.

The choir, attired in relifious black robes, has a vrocessional and recessional 21 l entrance and exit, appearing through the narthex and making exit by way of the east transept where an echoeing Amen is given. A Crucifer heads the body with the flag- bearer coming in the middle. Mr. Hovdesven and Mr. Niven instruct the choir, which has two practices each week. The musical appreciation and ability of the members are enhanced by the work of these men. The hymn singing during chapel services benehts by the aid of the choir. This group is selected from the entire Student Body. The work and lane presentations of the choir can hardly be appreciated too much, together with the work of those who instruct it.

Spoln The 1934 Karux 'THXVOBK by the students for the students, an undying memorandum of the life and daily activities on the Academy campus during the school year of l933 and wiki! 1934 is this Karux. ln this volume are recorded a testimony of our sorrows, Luc' our joys, our lasting companionships-in all some of the happiest days of our life. May the pictures here portrayed, real or verbal, as the case may be, forever be able to bring back memories of the School. The Iiditorial Board of The Kirrux is chosen from members of the Senior Class by appointment, while the Business and Art Boards are chosen through tryouts on the part of fellows from any class in the Academy.

The Lit HE Li! has gained this year both an interest from the fellows in reading what 9 is written in it and in writing for it themselves. Due to these two facts, each -BW of which is dependent on the other, The Li! has in its turn issued better material. Being published once every month, it has accomplished its purpose of turning out excellence in writing combined with interesting and varied topics, both poetry and prose. There have been contributions in it about anything and everything imaginable, raging from Western thrillers to the best of poetry and essays. The entire board from the Editor-in-Chief to the Faculty Adviser, Dr. Rutledge, deserves much credit for the admirable work they have done in producing so fine a literary publication.

The man who embodied these qualities and through whose efforts Mercersburg was made what it is was Dr. William Mann Irvine, Headmaster of the Academy from its founding until his death in June, 1928. It would seem unnecessary to set aside any particular day in the memory of a man whose good works show themselves in every detail of the campus. Yet it is from a natural and involuntary feeling for the need of some outward demonstration of the deep respect in which he was and is held that, ever since the year of his death, the date of his birth, October 13th, has been set aside in his memory. The birthday anniversary celebrated this year marked the 69th anniversary of his birth. Dr. Edwards has made it the custom on this day to hold a brief memorial service in the Chapel, relating the events of the late Doctor's life from his boyhood days at Bedford until his death, and to turn over the remainder of the day as an honorary holiday. This year Dr. Rose, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg, and the only man in the town who was a fast friend of Dr. Irvine ever since the founding of the Academy, officiated at the services. He spoke on Dr. William Mann Irvine as I Knew Him. The words which he spoke could only have sprung from the close comradeship of the two men, and they served to bring the true figure of William Mann Irvine near to the heart of every boy in the School. It would seem that this is a feeble way to preserve his memory and that it only serves to hold the unpleasant portent of Doctor lrvine's death ever before the School, but this is truly without reason. Though all grieve this man's death, this day becomes one more powerful reminder, a fresh stimulus to carry on what he was forced to leave unfinished-the eternal building of a great school. His work must ever grow, and, like his spirit, never die. All Mercersburg men will ever hold his name in sincerest gratitude .is the man who gave them their opportunity. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE THE KARUX, 1934 Field Day IELD DAY is perhaps the most important day in Athletics at Mercersburg. It is then that a great deal of athletic talent, heretofore unknown, is unearthed. It is j j becoming a tradition at Mercersburg for Field Day to dawn with dark and threatening rain clouds on the horizon, and for track and field to be soon lost in rain. It was therefore not unusual when the handicap events, open to the whole school, were run off under a cold, leaden sky. The events were held directly after a buffet luncheon in the Assembly Hall. The most notable performance was that of Joseph Frost in the twelve-pound hammer throw, when he threw the hammer 176 feet to break the previous Field Day record of 169 feet held by Arthur Loeb, '32. At three o'clock, the fellows, Masters, and numerous guests sat down to a splendid banquet, made more enjoyable by the songs between courses and the comic cheers from the various tables of boys. The blessing was asked by Dr. James G. Rose, Pastor of the Mercersburg Presbyterian Church, and the only one who has attended every Field Day dinner since their inception in 1893. At the conclusion of the dinner Dr. Edwards read the names of those boys entitled to wear the major M in football. Then followed second-team awards, next, tennis, cross country, soccer, and intra-mural touch-football awards were made. It was then announced that William C. Bradway had won the coveted Football Individual Prize, which is awarded each year to the football player who is judged to be the hardest working, most improved, most consistent, and who exerts the greatest influence on his teammates. The appointment of captains and managers of the various Fall teams was made with appropriate cheering after each appointment. Throughout the previous week there had been exceptionally close competition in the Pentathlon Events for the Williams Cup. The Cup is awarded each year to the fellow who by winning the most points in these events, shows himself the best all-around track man in school. This cup was awarded to Jack White at the Field Day Dinner. With the singing of the Alma Mater the dinner was concluded, and the parents of the boys repaired to the Administration Building to an informal meeting with the Faculty. The occasion was truly a happy one, and it was a Htting way to bring the Fall athletic season to a close. Mid-Winter Festivities T HE week-end nearest George Washington's Birthday has always been significant of I numerous joyous occasions which allay the monotony of a long, wintry term, and serves to make Mid-Term Examinations seem a thing of the long-distant past. The weather of the entire week-end was of King Winter's best and made the festivities more enjoyable to the School and its several hundred guests. Thursday evening, February 22, saw the beginning of the actiivties in the form of that successful satire, The Critic, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The play, one of the most finished in years, was ably directed by Mr. Pratt L. Tobey, and included a cast of 20. The keen rivalry between the Washington Irving and John Marshall Literary Societies was resumed on Friday afternoon when the Inter-Society Swimming Meet and Basketball Game were held. Marshall triumphed in the swimming meet, winning by four points, but Irving retaliated by sending Marshall down to an overwhelming defeat in the basketball game. That evening the climaxing social event of the season took place as the guests at the Mid-Winter Formal swayed to the delightful music of Tal Henry and his North Carolinians. On Saturday morning the School was privileged in seeing the most thrilling wrestling meet of the year. Coach Kuhn's matmen put up a brave fight in tieing the strongest Lehigh Frosh team in years, 16-16. In the afternoon the Academy nata- THE KARUX, 1934 ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR tors continued their season's winning streak in defeating the Princeton Freshmen team, 49-17. Immediately after the swimming meet the most widely attended tea dance of the year was held in the Assembly Hall. The music was furnished by the Blue and White Melodians and tea was served in the Administration Building by several of the Faculty wives, assisted by patronesses for the formal dance of the preceding evening. The most interesting and spirited of all the events of the week-end, the Forty-first Annual Inter-Society Debate, occurred on Saturday evening. Irving occupied the left side of the Gymnasium, the visitors the center, and Marshall occupied the right side. Feeling ran high, and a number of noise-makers were introduced to encourage the sides. Chief among these noise-makers were the boys, voices, which were in a sad state of hoarseness after the debate. Each speaker was cheered before his main speech. While the judges were pondering their important decisions, the fellows gave vent to their feelings in a streamer battle. After what seemed to be an eternity, the decision of the judges was announced by Dr. Edwards, and it was found that Marshall had won the debate, and Hal Bowie Clagett, Jr., of the Marshall team, was awarded honors as best speaker. Thus the happy week-end was concluded, leaving to all who participated in the events numerous unforgettable memories. Pre-Christmas Events term of the year. It is the happiness that predominates at these occasions which serves to make the Christmas recess more of a change than an escape. The good will and joy of that blessed season permeate the air. The Faculty felt the spirit of the season as did the boys, and the annual Christmas party given on the last Tuesday evening of the term by Dr. and Mrs. Edwards to the members of the Faculty was a happy event indeed. The Administration Building was decorated for this occasion most beautifully with holly and colored lights in keeping with the season. HE activities of the last week before Christmas form a fitting close for the longest 0 On Saturday, December 9, the last Tea Dance of the term was held in the Admin- istration Building when sixty couples were present. Tea was served during the dance. Dr. and Mrs. Edwards were hosts at this dance, and the guests were afterwards enter- tained by the school at dinner in Keil Hall. The last Sunday remains an especially fragrant memory in the minds of all. The Chapel, decked in evergreen and laurel, and surrounded by the Christmas trees and pure, white snow, forms a picture hard to forget. The Vesper Service in particular, illumined only by the tapering candles casting a dim religious light stands out as a vivid impression, pure and holy. The last night at school marked the Christmas Banquet. On the tables, which were arranged in a manner similar to that employed for Field Day Dinner, brilliantly red candles were placed and their light afforded the sole illumination of the room, except for a fire which was blazing efficaciously in the fireplace at the north end of Keil Hall. To make the effect complete, Keil was also decorated with holly and evergreen. The old building fairly rang as everyone joined in the stirring Christmas carols to pour out the happiness in their hearts. This charming event was brought to a close when the School rose in a body again to peal forth their brotherhood to the strains of the Alma Mater. That entire week was a prophecy of the fulfillment of Dr. Edward's wish for the School that the Christmas vacation might be truly joyous and one always to remember gladly.

SIMPSON, ll ONE HUNDRED FORTY-NINE THE KARux. 1934 The Football Season of 1933 'T OOTBALL at Mercersburg for the sea- F son of 1933 was one of entire satisfac- ,3 tion to the School, including the team. The schedule was characterized, espe- cially in the latter part of the season, by games in which precision and teamwork were unex- celled. Coach Kempton garnered real reward for his unstinted work throughout the season. The only game lost was that to the Princeton Freshmen in this annual encounter with one of the strongest teams they have ever had. The six other games were victorious. The first game was with Gettysburg Acad- emy where in a fairly easy game, The Blue and White team won with a score of 21-0. Jack White captained Mercersburg, and made a touchdown on the kick-off of the second half. Touchdowns or long runs on the kick-off were a feature of the whole year, due to Coach Kempton's unique interference play. The next N Saturday, October 7, the Staunton Cadets put up a stubborn resistance to hold Mecrersburg to a 7-6 victory. This was probably the most thrilling game of the year, because of Staunton's brilliant Hitchcock. Smith was cap- tain in this game, in which Jack White made the winning score. X Hl,Rlll:RT M. Ki-MPTUN, Coach The Princeton Freshmen team next played at Mercersburg to bring the sole defeat of the year, 16-7. In the second half, the Academy team led by Geddes and Jack White, lost all fear of the Orange team, and completely outplayed them. A pass from Dick White to Sullivan made the Academy score. The Peddie game followed to give Mercersburg a comparatively easy victory of 21-7. Hutchinson and Jack White scored the touchdowns. This game played at Hightstown, N. J. was the only trip the team took this year. Bringing almost their entire student body with them, the Massanutten Military Academy suffered a defeat in thc close score of 6-0. The colorful purple and yellow host were determined, but were outplayed decisively. Bayer made the touchdown on a pass from Hutchinson. Between the halves there was an exhibition drill by the cadets. who also gave some real competition in cheering. The visiting team from Blair Academy gave little tough opposition to the Mercers- burg team now functioning like clock work in line and backfield. This game of November 11 ended in a 33-0 victory and a championship team since there had been victories for Mercersburg in the whole list of scholastic contests. White, Merrell, Irvin, and Wills made touchdowns. The final game with Western Maryland Junior Varsity was taken with nearly as much ease. Captain Jack White carried the ball in all the scoring of a 27-0 ending. In recognition of this splendid season there was an enthusiastic celebration by the whole School, with an immense bonfire. The record of this year's football team will be put on record as one of the finest athletic accomplishments of Mercersburg.

The Soccer Team Tv' OCCIQR for the 1933 season at Mercersburg was followed up with increasing interest, although it is a comparatively new sport here. Coach Curran and Mr. Kidd were in charge of this activity. The six games on the schedule. played with ' H all the outstanding local teams, were hotly contested, although not all won.

HI' swimming stison of 1933-1934, is one long to be remembered in the Swimming Season of 1934 -loam M.Miiiii1,!fm THE KARux,1934 wh me annals of Mercersburg athletic history, 'J and, for that matter, in the records of interscholastic swimming, is one of such bril- liance that it can not easily be erased from our minds. Wfithout doubt this year's team was far superior to any other group of natators in the U. S. A broad statement this? Hardly, when one is brought to realize that in the brief space of three months the Academy team shat- tered four standing interscholastic records and tied another. No other interscholastic team under the Stars and Stripes has ever approached such an outstanding record as this. The team entered into 7 dual meets, one triangular meet, and two world's interscholastic meets-win- ning them all hands down. So perfectly bal- anced was the team that it was a consistent point-scorer in eevry event. Pausing, we herc give thanks to the entire squad, the managers, and last, but by no means least, Coach john Miller, the man who devel- oped the team into what it WSIS. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR The initial meet of the season was with Lehigh University Freshmen in the Academy Pool on Saturday, December 9. With ease the Blue and White team defeated their opponents by the score of 49-17. This meet proved to be an indicator of what was to come, for Macionis starts off by breaking the pool record in the 220 Yard Dash with a time of 2:24.7. Also in this meet Jacobi of Lehigh broke the standing pool breastroke record in the 100, doing it in 1:10.8. We took first in the relay, diving, and backstroke. Immediately after the Christmas holidays, the team met up with two opponents in one day, namely: Baltimore City College and Baltimore Polytechnic in a triangular meet in the City College Pool. The Academy team again came in victorious the final score being 42-37-17. The Mercersburg natators in this meet broke two Maryland records and equalled one World's Interscholastic Record. The Interscholastic Record was in the 160 Yard Relay with Hartlein, Thomas, johnson, and Macionis swimming in that order. Mercersburg took six first places. The third, and one of the hardest, meets of the season followed, that with Yale Freshmen at Yale on January 20. More than repeating their previous performance the team this time broke two World's Interscholastic Records. Macionis broke the 220 yard record for a long pool by the time of 2:17, the Academy Relay Team for 200 yards broke the record in that event, swimming the exceedingly fast time of 1:37. The Blue and White men took five first places and won the m-eet by the score of 36-26. The next week end the Academy Team met up once more with two adversaries, Massanutten and Staunton. This time, however, it was not in a single triangular meet, but both separately. The first of the two meets was with Massanutten on january 26. The stiffest competition was here offered and the Academy team just barely slipped under the wire ahead of their opponents by the score of 36-30. In this meet Macionis duplicated his last week's performance by breaking the World's Interscholastic Record in the 220 Yard Swim, but for a short course. His winning time was 2:16. The next day the team utterly crushed Staunton by the score of 54-12, taking all first places. On February 3, the Blue and White mermen wiped out Washington and Lee Fresh- men by the score of 48-18 in the Academy pool. This meet replaced the one scheduled to be with Augusta Military Academy. The team again took all first places. Stump, swimming the backstroke, won in this event for the 100 yards, doing 1:12.4. A meet which promised to be a very hard one indeed, but which did not turn out so, was the one on the following Saturday with the University of Pennsylvania Fresh- men. The Academy team won by the wide margin of 26 points, taking the meet 47-19. The most interesting event of the day was in the 100 yard Breaststroke in which Johnson broke the pool record set by John Brest two years ago. He swam the dis- tance in 1:10.8. The Academy team took six of the seven first places. Before a Mid-Winter Week-End crowd the team romped to another victory, over Princeton Freshmen, this time. The winning score was 49-17. The guests had a chance here to see the super-performance of Johnny Macionis as he broke another World's Inter- scholastic Record in the 440 Yard Swim. His time was 4:58.4. This was the sixth World's Interscholastic Record to be s-et by the Academy . Continuing its long line of victories, the swimming team showed its fins to the Navy Pl-ebes in a meet in Annapolis by beating them 47-15. In this meet Thomas starred, taking first place in both the 50 Yard Dash and the 100 Yard Dash. The Academy natators took first in every event but the fancy diving. This meet was the scheduled dual meet of the year. The Academy mermen followed this victory by a greater one in winning the Pennsylvania A. C. Championship title. This meet was open to contestants in the Interscholastic class from all over the country. The Academy team captured three first places and a number of seconds and thirds. As an extra event, and one that did not count in the scoring, a cup was given for the winner of the 400 Yard Swim. The team copped this trophy easily. The Cup is known as che George Malpass Trophy. The Academy registered 26 points to win, with her closest opponent having 16. The next week-end, the last before the Easter Vacation, the team went on its final trip of the year, this time to the Lehigh lnterscholastics. With more and better oppo- sion than the previous week, the Academy delegation still managed to win the meet with 33 points. The team took three first places again, and won the meet by virtue of taking the 200 Yard Relay. A truly great team thus ended a truly great season, with its record unbroken for the season and unblemished.

The Wrestling Team RFSTl.lNG became in the season of 1934 more than ever one of the leading and rg! 9 popular sports at Mercersburg, although it is only in the third year of its existence J here. Mr. Kuhn brought his team from an unprovidential start to an almost Lt continuous string of victories, marred only by the final meet with liranklin and Marshall Academy. The sportsmanship displayed by the members of the team deserves high praise. ln recognition of his work on the team Emmanuel Ardolino was elected captain. Snyder was outstanding in winning every one of his bouts by a fall. The first meet was with Hagerstown Y.M.C.A. where the visitors won with a score of 18-14. This was, however, only a practice meet, with each team winning four of the bouts, but the opponents won, due to having all falls. Baltimore Poly Prep was defeated the next week in a score of 21-11. With the same ease as in the matches of the week before, on january 27, Gallaudet College fell an easy victim, 30-10. liebruary 17 the Gettysburg Freshmen were also defeated in the gymnasium by the score of 25-5. Possibly the most exciting meet of the year was that with Lehigh Freshmen on Saturday of Mid-winter Week. which resulted in a 16-16 tie. The wrestlers next 'ourncyed to Haverford where the varsity fell to Mercersburg with a score of 20-16. The final meet was with Franklin and Marshall Academy, where due to injuries of three Varsity men, the opponents won with a score of 17-1 1.

Brown won the event, and the other members of the team finished in the following order: Leland, Hanks, MeMenamin, Spohr, and Henle. The first meet of the indoor season was the Millrose Games, held in Madison Square Garden, New York. Mereersburg entered the Mile Relay Team composed of Mills, Hanks. S-alter, and Brown: the team Won in the smart time of 3:32.4, and thereby gained a second leg on the London House Trophy. On February 23rd the Track Team again went to Madison Square Garden and this time won the Eastern Interseholastie Championship Meet sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union and gained possession of the Governor Lehman Trophy. At this meet Wliite placed first in the 60 Yard Dash, Fisher took second in the 60 Yard High Hurdles, Brown won the 880 Yard Run, Hanks took second in the 1000 Yard Run.

Tennis Team 'n T1,'I'IlOUGH Tennis is a minor sport at Mercersburg, it has always been one of the W IHUSI popular, and the list of aspirants for the squad has been more than ample. wigs Last liall the competition for places on the squad was unusually keen, because a W ' number of the fellows seemed to show equal ability. The Fall Tournament was a success in enabling Coach Grabill to discover some talent in the lireshmen. deBruycker, No. 1 man on the previous year's team, repeated by again winning the Fall Tourna- ment, and then paired with Ryder to win the Doubles Tournament. Borer was runner- up in the Singles, and he and Dalzell were runners-up in the Doubles Tournament. After the Tournament the squad was formed, and Coach Grabill inaugurated a new system, the Ladder System, by which a fellow might advance on the squad by challenging the man directly above him, and defeating him. At the close of the Fall Season the squad stood, in the order named, as follows: deBruyeker, Borer, Ryder, Ralston, Copeland, Dalzell, Dillon, Dunham, Shannahan, H. Wilson, Douglass, Wenger, and A. Thomas. SEASON SCHEDULE FOR TENNIS April 21-Haverford College Freshmen, at Mercersburg. April 28-Hagerstown All Stars, at Mercersburg. May 5-Harrisburg Academy, at Harrisburg.
