Our preparatory school life is finished, and We are ready to set out to attain our next obj ective-college. As we go forth from Mercersburg to all different sections of the country, and as We set ourselves to attain still greater heights, we leave behind us many feats which will long be remembered. The brilliant records of Charles Dithrich, Valedictoriang of Walter Wilson, President of the Class, President of Irving, and winner of the Aurelian Cup, of Austin Kellam, President of Marshall, Head Waiter, and star of the track team, and of Whitaker Deininger, Editor of the News, and twice lrving Debater, are but a few of the oustanding feats of the men of the Class of 19440. Here at Mercersburg we have all gained something that is invaluable to us now and will become more meaningful as time passes. We have gained many friends both in the faculty and in the student body. Through the Head Master and members of the faculty the task of learning and knowing has been made easier and pleasanter for us, and we have begun to appreciate the many varied advantages that life has to offer. We have had much fun, too, during our Mercersburg life. The sunny after- noons at football and baseball games, the excitement and tenseness of a close wrestling match, or of a swimming meet, the informality of gatherings and talks on Saturday nights, the great fun at the dances-all of these are Mercersburg! We are happy to be going forth, because we all know what our school has made us, how it has fitted us. We are all confident of the unseen future, and of our power to solve whatever problems may face us. With sadness too we step on-sad that we must now leave a line and great institution, leaving behind us, perhaps, the happiest times of our lives. i To Doctor and Mrs. Edwards we extend our deep and sincere thanks for all they have done for us and the opportunities they have given us. To the faculty and to Mr. Tobey, our adviser, we also express our great appreciation for their work and cooperation. To the undergraduates and to the class of 19411 we extend our wishes for great and lasting success. To Mercersburg we bid farewell and good luck in all that the future may hold. ROBERT W. BENNETT, H istorian. NIOR CLASS HISTURY 48 CEI-IROUGHOUT our life together here we have been fellow- spectators of a tragedy working out on a worldwide field. How ominous it may prove to be, what disturbance it may make for a long time in the life of the World, and what the final issue may become no man can guess. The fact that we have been spectators together has, I think, developed for each one of us a kind of special fellowship. We have felt first the fellowship of our fortunate American citizenship. We have been glad to belong to each other and to America. We shall not forget this experience as the years multiply and mem- ories fall into true prospective as to their significance. But we cannot ask to continue as mere spectators in the days following this tragedy. Because we are privileged to live in a democracy, we have a fresh debt to make that democracy intensively finer, more adequate, more illustrious, more desirable in the eyes of the peoples of the world. For that definite service to which each one of us is challenged, I can think of no finer standard than the motto of our school Clean Life, Hard Work, Fair Play. Think again, dear fellows, how sorely the world has needed fair play during these years of your school days. Think again what a boon hard work would be to millions of people in our own dear land. Think again how different all the problems of the world today would be if the men who are leading the affairs of the world were truly men of gentle, generous, honorable, and noble purpose. Vile do not so much need for American life something new but rather a greatly renewed fidelity to some things that are old. If you will be good sportsmen, faithful workmen, honorable men, the contribution the world asks from you for America's share in the great recovery that is going to be necessary will not be lacking. I wish for you this great inner success which may be like the contribution which a clear brimming spring makes wherever its waters flow. Remember how often I have said to you that it is as significant and useful an achievement to be a great boy as it is to be a great man, because that great boyhood guarantees that great manhood. Little souls pay their debt to life with what they do, great souls with what they are.

Although our class is the smallest in the school and we are competing against older fellows in some competitions, we are steadily pushing forward in both athletics and scholarship. I am sure that our group does not lack in spirit, and as We develop physically, we will do our part in maintaining the athletic standing for which Mercersburg is famous. The HSpider'7 football squad completed a very successful season, and its Upper Junior members played outstanding games. We are fortunate, indeed, to have Laucks Hall as a dormitory for the younger boys, and here under the leadership of Mr. Kuhn and the Laucks Hall Council friendships are made which will last throughout our school days and in the years to follow. As we push ahead into the world in the years to come, we will look back upon Mercersburg and these days of 1939-1940 as some of the most wonderful in our lives. DANIEL BARD THOMPSON, Historian.

It was organized in 1905 to promote a closer relationship between the students and the members of the Faculty and executives of the School. This able group is representative of the typical Mercersburg student, and each is engaged in the maj or activities of the school which makes it possible for this body to render such a creditable service in the interests of all. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of an organization, every member of which, having his own personal friends among the students, becomes a mouth- piece of student requests and problems. Any suggestions the Senate has for bettering the school life are brought up before Dr. Edwards at the monthly Senate dinners at North Cottage the first Tuesday of every month. If these desires are felt by the Head Master to be just, they are put into practice. This year the Senate celebrates its thirty-fifth anniversary of service to the school, and it has played no small part in the growth of this educational enterprise. It is only because of the manner in which these student members are chosen that such satisfaction can exist. There are in all ten students and five faculty members, including Dr. Edwards. Two Upper Middlers and one Lower Middler are elected by the Student Bodyg one member is chosen by the incoming Senateg one by the Senior Classg one is picked by the Faculty members of the Senateg two by the Faculty as a wholeg and the final two are elected by Dr. Edwards. If vacancies occur, the Head Master makes the needed appointments. 96 OFFICERS DR BOYD EDR ARDS Preszdent AUSTIN M KELLAM Student P1 eszdent C BROOKS FARBER Secretary WILLI IM E LUTZ J R Treasurer MEMBERS Elected by tlze Seam: Class 0 1939 C BROOKS FARBEP Elected by the Members 0 the Student Body the Year 19u8 39 From the Upper Mzddler Class WALTFR C WII SON WILI IAM E LUTZ JALK H MILNE Elected by the Member s 0 the Faculty zn the Fall 0 1939 WIiIT KRER T DEININGER GORDON R XVI-IITMAIN Elected by the Student Members 0 the Senate lll the Fall 0 1939 AUSTIN M KFI LAM Elected by Zlze Faculty Members 0 the Senate Ln Fall 0 1939 ROBERT 1' LAIRD J R Appouzted by the Head Master tn the Fall 0 1939 BENJAMIN F BURNS CHARLES W DITHRICH Faculty Members Elected by the Student Body tn the Fall 0 1939 FREDERICK R KUHN PRATT L TOBEY Faculty Mem bers Appouzted by the Head Master In the Fall 0 1939 ROY M ANDREVS JOHN I-I MONTGOMERY Ea Ofczo Member DR BOYD EDWARDS Appomlcd to Vacancy 111 Fall of 1939 97 NATE ..

Gray In the literary work at Mercersburg one of the highest honors that a boy can earn is election to the 'Tifteenf' Fifteen in number, its members are chosen by the Head Master on the recommendation of the Head of the English Department. Bases for appointment are ex- cellence in theme writing and a superior knowledge of English Literature. Each year the subject for talks to be given by each member is changed. The subject for this year is: A Year of Lyric Poetry. In their meetings which are held monthly in North Cottage or with Faculty members or students as hosts, two members read essays about the subject for discussion on that particular evening, and the remainder of the meeting is given over to members about certain poems of the type being considerd.

Wilson, Deiuiuger Second Row-Pownall, Redding, Dithrich ' Known first as the lVlercersburg Literary Society, the Washington Irving Literary Society was founded originally in 1865 when Marshall College was located at 1VIercersburg. It has stood for the highest ideal of a Mercersburg boy in the motto, Clean Life, Hard Work, and Fair Play. Proud of her record as a literary society, Irving has won twenty of the thirty-nine debates since 1901, and has obtained the Best Speaker Award twenty-three times. Founded in 1866, the John Marshall Society did not furnish competition for the annual debate, which is the largest single event of the school year, until 1901 under the Mercersburg Academy. An admirer of the ever loyal support of all her members and of the teams that uphold her, Irving is proud of her honest, clean record, and her manliness. Alumni of the school who have been members of the Irving team in the past years have been unlimited in their praise of the value of debating to them. After the passing of Dr. Calvin A. Brown, this past summer, who had spent years of faithful service in coaching the Irving debating teams and whose success was due to the steady influence of Dr. Brown, Mr. Robert B. Baldridge became lrving's Faculty Adviser, and he is to be congratulated on his patience, keenness, and enthusiasm, which has prevailed throughout the year. The victory on February 241, 1940, was in no small part clue to his wise guidance of the Society's team.

Henry The John Marshall Literary Society, founded in 1866, is one of the two literary societies of the Academy. Named after John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court for thirty-four years, it has held together with the Wasliington Irving Literary Society one of the most prominent positions in school life. The rivalry and interest in the two societies reach a climax during Mid-Winter Week-end when teams representing the Societies meet in a swimming meet, a basketball game, and, most important of all, the annual Inter-Society Debate. This year's debate was one of special note for the two societies were tied at nineteen Wins each. Although lrving won the debate, James B. Craig, Jr., of Marshall, won the Best Speaker Award. This year Mr. George Manlove became Faculty Adviser to the Marshall Society, and it is hoped that he will be as successful in leadership as have been his most recent predecessors, Doctor Murdaugh and Mr. Douglas. Under their colors of Blue and Gold, and with the motto 4'Hold Fast to That Which Is Good, every Marshall man marches proudly on with a deep reverence for his society in his heart.

With the challenge of g'Medalist Award, scoring 950 out of a possible 1000 points, in Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest last July for the second year in a row, facing the KARUX Board of 194-0, the staff has sought to present in this volume of the yearbook a record of the year worthy of the standards set by its predecessors. A11 adaptation of the detail of the Blashfield mural, 'LThe Victorf, has become the theme of this year's book. Out of a list of twenty-four candidates who reported to Mr. David F. Chap- man, Faculty Adviser, in the fall, seventeen fellows of the school have been ap- pointed to the Board under the leadership of Joseph H. Bowman, Jr., as Editor- in-Chief. All members of the Board have aided in the preparation of material for this year's volume. Mr. Lucian C. Bareham as Art Adviser and John L. Haughwout have contributed to the art Work.

Edwards, Rue, Hawk, Farber, F. Clowney, R. Brown Recording all the events that take place during the school year, the Mercers- burg News contains a permanent record of Mercershurg life, scholastically, socially, and athletically. Friday evening of each school week a copy of the newspaper is distributed to every member of the Student Body by the Business Board, which is under the Faculty supervision and advisorship of Mr. Robert R. Black. The Editorial Board has for its Faculty Adviser Mr. Bryan Barker, whose excellent guidance of this Board has resulted in many distinctions for the News. This year has seen another capable Editor-in-Chief in the person of Whitaker T. Deininger, who has unselfishly given his time to the publication. Under him the paper has developed farther along the lines of good journalism, as shown by the excellent composition of the articles, the free thinking maintained in them, and the more liuent use of Words in expressing thought and holding the readers' attention. To be commended for their eiforts are Robert B. Claytor, Howard R. Flock, and Edwin L. Wilson, each of whom progressed greatly along the channels of journalism during their time as members of the Editorial Board. Credit should be given to those other student members who comprise the remainder of the News, both Business and Editorial. Their services to the school by loyal work on the publication are not to be overlooked.

Chapman and is sponsored by the Mercersburg News. Because it has proved such a success with the student body and friends of the Academy, it has been continued ever since. Whatever profit has been obtained through the sale of the Calendar has been turned into an art fund, and portraits of many who have been responsible for the present school have been presented to the Academy. Through the fund each generation of Mercersburg student body is indirectly able to participate in a movement which enriches the traditions of the school. V -, '21 zu Y-if ALUMNI QUARTERLY CGHE Alumni Quarterly, which is published four times a year under the capable editorship of Mr. Daniel Heelner, the Alumni Secretary of the school, is the vital means of establishing contact with the group of over six thousand alumni of the Academy.

Price, Lockhart, Alexamclcr, Redding, Ilolhert, Derr Dignity and impressiveness which go to make up the service of the Mercers- hurg Chapel are augmented by the work of the Academy Choir. At the beginning of each service the procession of choristers led by the Crucifer begins in the Narthex, and the second half of the procession which is followed by the Guest Preacher and Head Master is led by the Flag Bearer. During the Oiiertory the Choir, according to custom, sings both ancient and modern anthems. Under the capable instruction of Mr. Henry Ready and with assistance of Mr. George Hamer, Ir., the Organist, the boys rehearse twice a week in the Chapel, and the result of their combined eiiorts enhances greatly the Chapel service. Of the thirty-eight members of the Choir this year seventeen are new boys in the school. This is another example of the opportunity aiiorded at Mercers- burg to any boy, whether a one-year boy or not, to enter into the many different activities of the Academy. Careful training in group singings which is true of the Choir has proved a vital assistance to members in similar work in college. 132 MR. DAVID F. CHAPMAN MR. ROBERT M. GOFF ORGANIZATION MR.

Notable for the same eliiciency and precision which is characteristic of the Chapel Choir, the Academy Glee Club has made great strides this year under its new director, Mr. Henry Ready. The group of 60 voices is outstanding for the coordination with which it sings and the good taste used in the selection of numbers. The Club has given several performances, all of which have aroused favorable criticism. A group of selections were sung over the air at the Christmas Candle- light Dinner. The climax of the year for the Club took place when a joint concert was given with the Penn Hall Glee Club at Penn Hall on April 20, and repeated at lVIerce1'sbu1'g on May 41. A final concert is given the night of the Com- mencement Dance. 134- BURTON S Osrnou WILLIAM A ScH1xE1DFR,J JAMES T SQUIRES ROBERTJ B1zowN,J SANDFORD M SCIIOFN MR HENRY READY l' RlCl111flAll1ll Wllham lf.

Under the able direction of Mr. Henry Ready, the Concert Band, made up of forty-three members from the student body, has in its works this year set a new standard for the instrumental organizations. Instruments personally owned by members have been supplemented by the purchase of instruments by the school, which has added greatly to the symphonic possibilities of this unit. These new instruments were: two kettle drums, bass drum, sousaphone, two alto horns, and a baritone saxophone. Among the outstanding entertainments of this group was a concert in May and another during the Commencement week-end. OFFICERS C. Romanr WELSHANS - - - President HENRY H. GRAY Stage Manager JAMES T.

Bawmncn V Although statistics show that Mercersburg came out on the short end of its 1939 football season by losing three and tying two of its seven games, statistics often lie. The figures do not tell the story of a green inexperienced squad, ignorant of many of the fundamentals of the game, that after fumbling awkwardly during the opening few games of the season, found itself in its last three games and developed into a strong, united organization, reminiscent of the powerful elevens of former years. ln the first game of the season on September 30, the Mercersburg varsity, scoring on slippery muddy turf in a storm of hurricane force, defeated the Devitt School of Washington, D.

This being the first game, many Blue and White substitutions were made, almost every player in the Mercersburg uniform seeing action for a part of the game. Scoring their only tally on a pass from George Maitland to Mason Hendrick- son, the ,layvees dropped their second game to a hard-charging Scotland eleven on October 21, by a score of 38-6. The defeat, for the most part, was attributed to the success of the opponent's wide end-sweeps and headline bucks. In this game, as in the Chambersburg game, the entire squad saw action. In the last game of their season, forgetting past defeats, Mercersburg's Junior Varsity by means of long passes, scored a 19-0 victory on November 2, over Harpers Ferry High School. The first of the three touchdowns came on a pass from Maitland to Samuel Froehlich in the first period, Hendrickson was on the receiving end of another oi Maitland's passes for the second score, the third coming in the end of the second quarter when Stewart VanVliet caught the ball over the end zone. This year again found the team under the eiiicient tutorship of Coaches Lieb and Hunt, and as the previous year these two coaches took raw material, boys who had played little football before, and made a football team of them. George Maitland was made permanent captain of the team. AYVI-'IE FDOTBALL 146 H 'Ns to 55' Q X 5 it tif . Qbj Qs sift? Qi: O x 'N 5 5 . rf 3 .

This team is made up entirely of boys under 16 years of age, not weighing more than 150 pounds. Their first opponents, Mount St. Mary's of Hagerstown, whom they played on October 6, proved an easy foe, the NSpiders winning 30-0. On October 13, the Scotland Orphanage turned the tables and defeated the Laucks Hall team, 25-0. ln the game on October 27, the Spiders again Won a decisive victory, 4-0-0, over St. James School. In the fourth game of the season on November 2, against Chambersburg 1-1igh's Jayvees, Mercersburg's 4'Spiders continued their streak by winning a hard-fought battle, 13-7.

The Hrst meet of the season took place on the last Saturday of the Fall Term with Mercers- burg repulsing the Thomas Patton Trade School by a margin of 22-10. After vacation the Academy team continued their winning ways by travelling to Gettysburg and defeating the Gettysburg College Jayvee team by a 31-5 score. The first setback of the season took place at State College where the powerful Freshman team of Penn State halted the Blue and Wllite to the tune of 28-8. The highlight oi the season took place at home where Mercersburg de- feated their traditional wrestling rival, the Lehigh Freshmen, by a score of 19-13. In their annual trip to Annapolis the Academy wrestlers were submerged by the Navy Plehes in a very thrilling struggle to the score of 19-11, and in the Hnal dual meet of the season Mercers- burg bowed to Franklin and Marshall Academy to the tune of 17-13. In the Interscholastic Championship meet sponsored by Lehigh University March 1 and 2 the Blue and White matrnen wound up in fourth place among the many schools entered. Dick Bensen, the outstanding wrestler throughout the whole season, showed his superiority by easily capturing the 165 lb. class. Bob Quigg, dependable throughout the season, secured the runner-up position in the 136 lb. class. Benson won the wrestling trophy of Coach Kuhn. Each member of the team gave his best throughout the year, and though not undefeated, the group showed as Hue a spirit as any team of the year. 151 WRI-IST I I J 'ljnlfl Q7 ',JQlD1t'Mf' X y ju X N w 'S Y R. 13 WIMMING First Row, Left to Right-Young, G.

Opening the season against Allentown High School in the Nolde Gymnasium pool on December 9, Coach Miller's charges splashed to an outstanding victory by overpowering the invading team 50-16. The home team won first places in six individual events, the visitors garnering only one. On January 13 Franklin and Marshall Freshmen journeyed to Mercershurg and returned to the college campus that night on the short end of the score, Mercershurg having swamped them to the tune of 49-17.

Under Coach Curran's able guidance the team' ably represented the school in three meets this winter. On February 10 the team participated in the Fifth Regiment Games at Baltimore and brought home three trophies. Heroes of the meet were ,lack Milne, Bill Alexander, and Captain Austin Kellam. On February 24- only five of the team represented the Academy at the Na- tional A. A. U. lnterscholastic Meet in Madison Square Garden. These five, however, did themselves proud by scoring 18 points to win third place. Captain Kellam broke the broad jump record with a jump of 22 feet 915 inches. Jack Milne ran a very brilliant mile of 41:21L.l, and considering that he had not run a mile since Field Day it was more brilliant. At Cornell on March 16 the team was beaten by the score of 54W to 5315. The mile which Hubert Hoover ran, while it was not fast, showed the true spirit of the team, and won for him first place. This showing in the indoor season made the spring prospects appear good. The team has dual meets with the Yale F reshmen, the Penn State Freshmen, the University of Pennsylvania Freshmen, and the Navy Plebes. They also entered the outstanding interscholastic competition of the Penn Relays. 155 RACK I First Row, Left to Riglit-Hoover, Hunter, Bennett. Captain Milne, Kay.

MSM A Sail mill Oglways noteworthy for the spirit and interest they bring out, intramural athletics form a very pleasant and important part of life at Mercersburg. The ice-breaker in intramural sports is Fall Field Day, made especially memorable by the Mile Race won by Jack Milne in 4 minutes and 25 seconds, and by the tie for the coveted Williams Cup between John Haughwout and Richard Schofield. Earlier in the fall, an intra- mural tennis tournament is held to discover new material in this sport. This year the Singles Tour- Irving-Marshall Basketball Game TRAMUR1-ll. ATHLETICS Milne Receiving Field Day Medal nament was won by John Manvel, with James Bonney as runner-up. The Doubles Tournament was won by Bonney and Manvel, with Charles Brownmiller and John Ray as runners-up. The winners received silver cups on Field Day. Later on in the fall, an inter- dormitory touch-football league aroused a great deal of interest. The trophy for this event was won this year by the team of '88 Dor- mitory, captained by Vincent Henry. The spirit developed in this tournament is carried over to the inter-dorm basketball games, held in the winter. This series was also won by '88 Dormitory. Beal on Parallel Bars The climax of intramural events is reached at Mid-Winter' Week-end, when Irving and Mar- shall Literary Societies compete in a swimming meet and basket- ball game as preliminaries to the inter-society debate. Both of these were won this year by Marshall Society in very close matches. As usual Mr. John Lieb has carried on the gymnasium work through the year. Corrective exercises, apparatus work, and basketball have made this phase of intramural athletics very pop- ular. In the way of inter-squad com- petitions, Coach .lohn M. Miller has a swimming group consisting of four relay teams in the ,layvee 200 yard free-style relay events which competed at varsity dual meets. In addition to this, Coach Miller conducted the body-build- ing classes in the fall in prepara- tion for the winter swimming schedule. I The ,layvee track squad, under Mr. Lieb, also provided during the winter inter-squad competi- tion for those interested in track. ln the spring an inter-dorm soft- ball league was formed managed on the same basis as the fall and winter leagues, but the activity has reached only a primary stage as the KARUX went to press.

OPENING OF SCHOOL CZQJITH the exercises in the Academy Chapel on Wyednesday, September 20, Mercersburg Academy oflicially opened for the forty-seventh year as a pre- paratory school and the one hundred and third year as an educational enterprise. The students for the year of 1939-1940 came from twenty-seven states and four foreign countries. This was an advance over 1938-1939 of three additional states and one foreign country. Six new masters joined the Faculty, and later in thelyear Mr. John Peirson became the seventh new associate of the group. The Head Master challenged the new student body to a greater realization and fulfillment of the man who is tucked away inside of each boy? Some he stated will have to be chiselled out, but others will blossom forth like a flower. In this transformation the lad has to seek to rid himself of the childness in him and to retain the childlikeness. ln doing this here at school each must have faith in oneself that nothing can overwhelm, faith in his fellow-students, and faith in his God. IRVINE DAY IRVINE DAY was celebrated by the Academy on October 13 with the memorial service in the Chapel and a school holiday thereafter. This year the student body was fortunate in having as the speaker Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, Head Master Emeritus of Phillips Academy at Anover, Mass., and for a number of years a member of the Board of Regents of Mercersburg. Dr. Stearns who was a con- temporary of Doctor Irvine, the founder of Mercersburg, paid tribute to his prowess as a builder and moulder of boys into men. Especially rich in reveal- ing the determination and vision of the Acaden1y's first Head Master Were the anecdotes of his early association with Doctor Irvine and his first visit to Mer- cersburg where he found in the building, in the vision, and in the determination of Doctor Irvine the lVlercersburg of today. ALUMNI REUNION QN the day following the celebration of Irvine Day, the Academy Alumni returned to the tune of over two hundred for the annual fall reunion. The varsity football team did itself proud with a thrilling stand against the strong Franklin and Marshall Academy eleven. The Alumni Body this year elected Doctor Stearns to the honorary membership in the Association. Mr. Daniel Heefner reported on the work of the Association during the year, and the Head Master discussed the recitation-laboratory building campaign. After the election of ofiicers for the year, the meeting adjourned to Keil Hall for the annual banquet, which was presided Over by Mr. Marshall R. Anspach, '15, of Vlfilliamsport, Pa. Four toasts were given. Dr. Howard R. Omwake, '97, President of Catawba College, spoke for the Alumni and the Board of Regents. Delightful were his personal reminiscences of Mercersburg under Doctor Irvine of whom he spoke in an almost reverent tone. His tribute to Doctor Edwards' continuation of Doctor lrvineis work brought a hearty response from the group. Mr. James STURIES 01 EVENTS 170 G. Miller and Mr. David F. Chapman spoke for the Faculty-the former discuss- ing the scholastic standing of the school and the Work being done by Mercersburg boys in college, and the latter explaining the publications and the extent of the accomplishments of the Press Club. As usual Doctor Edwards was the last speaker, and in his address paid high tribute to the members of the Faculty and to Doctor Brown and Doctor lVlurdaugh who had died since the latest meeting of the Alumni. He especially appealed to the Alumni to help in providing the Faculty with the best of tools for their work, and in carrying forward the drive for the new recitation-laboratory building. The speaker at the Chapel service on Sunday, October lil, was Dr. John Timothy Stone, of Chicago. FIELD DAY rJJERI-IAPS the outstanding fall event of the Academy, as it is found to be every year, was the forty-seventh annual Field Day, held on November 44, a cold, blus- tering day. Of the many and varied events that took place the handicapped events that were held on the Academy Oval were the most important. Especially spectacular of the track events was Jack Milne's 41:25 mile, which was termed by Jimmy Curran as the fastest mile ever run on the Mercersburg track. Other winners in the divers events were John Derr in the 60-yard junior dash, James Rodney in the l00-yard dash, Alvin Rosalsky in the 300-yard run, Walter' Krue- ger in the 120-yard low hurdles, John Aigler in the pole vault, H. Boyd Edwards in the high jump, David Krusen in the discus, Williarn Miller in the broad jump, Donald Beal in the javelin throw, John Manvel in the shot put, and Donald Beal in the hammer throw. After this track and iield competition, at 3:00 P. M., the annual Field Day banquet was served in Keil Hall to the 735 members of the student body and guests of the school. During this meal of joyous feslivity prompted by the gay informal atmosphere of companionship, the award of field prizes and cups in the Fall Tennis Tournament was made by Doctor Edwards. This was fol- lowed by the guests' meeting with the members of the faculty in the annual Faculty-Parents Conference in Traylor Hall. Eight masters of the school inter- preted the different phases of the life of the Academy in five minute speeches. Those who spoke were Mr. Wilrnarth l. Jacobs on ulndividual Attentionf, Dr. Lewis H. Hitzrot on '5Healtl1, Mr. James G. Miller on '4Scholarship, Mr. Roy M. Andrew on Citizenship,7' Mr. John M. Miller on 'cAthletics, Mr. Henry Ready on Music, Mr. David F. Chapman on '4Publications, Mr. Daniel Heef- ner on 4'Alu1nni, and the Head Master who spoke on Spirit, After the football season had been finished, the competition for the Willia1n's Cup was held. In the final compiling of points scored Haughwout and Schofield scored ll points each to win. Dr. J. Hamilton Smith, '95, was the Chapel Guest Preacher on Sunday. 171 CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES CZQJITH Christmas Vacation fast approaching, the celebration of the annual festivities began with the Declamation Contest on Monday night, December ll, and continued until the Queen of the Valley with its eager passengers left Mercersburg on Thursday, December 14-, bringing the Fall Term to a close. The Dorothy Baker Prize, first place of the Declamation Contest, was won by Charles Breed Gilbert, III, who gave The Victor of Marengof' John S. Derr, Jr., who presented Bruce Barton's The Unknown Soldier won the first Jacob Weil Prize, and Alfred A. Smith, Jr., the second Weil Prize with his presentation of The Garden of Proserpinen by Algernon Swinburne. Saturday afternoon was outstanding in that both the Varsity teams opened their winter seasons with brilliant victories over the visitors. The swimming team trounced the Allentown High School natators by a score of 50-16, while the equally successful wrestlers threw their opponents, the Masonic Patton Trade School of Harrisburg, by 22-10. That night the long-awaited Christmas formal dance was held in Traylor Hall, where a striking change had been effected by the use of evergreens, soft lights, silvered pine cones, and red ribbon, trans- forming the stately reception hall into a beautiful ballroom. Dance music was furnished by the Blue and White Melodians. The two services held on Sunday in the Chapel struck a keynote in the festivities and left an impression, never to be forgotten, of the solemn, quiet beauty of the Chapel during the Christmas season. Due to the efforts of Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Chapman, and through the use of evergreens and bells in the windows and throughout the Chapel, a striking, awe inspiring beauty was attained which was enhanced by the use of candles as the only source of light in the afternoon Candlelight Service. The memory of this occasion of favorite Christmas hymns sung in the majestic Chapel is a treasure which Mercersburg students have cherished always. Doctor Edwards preaching to the students in the morning service said: A birthday is the loveliest thing in human life-that's what makes Christmas the holiest and happiest event of the year. With this as his central theme, he stressed the greatness and beautiful dignity of the word generation, saying that the relation of one generation to another, parental-filial, is one of the finest attributes of the human race. This relationship existed between Jesus and Mary, she and He represented the past and ,future, as does that of each mother and son. 'Tre ready, he said in substance, uto take the torch carried by your elders and carry on. ln order to be ready to do this you must absorb the knowledge of the preceding generation which was acquired through experience. You and they are facing forward together, and you must be behind them when they pass the torch. He then told how religion is the foundation of democracy. There are four pillars of democracy, he said, namely: every soul is immortal in God's sight, 172 every soul is equally precious in God's life, the law of the inner life of man is the love of good will, and the inner life is of supreme valuefi Doctor and Mrs. Edwards gave their annual Faculty Party on Tuesday night in Traylor Hall. A delightful buffet supper was served after which the guests engaged in guessing what various members of their group represented, for the faculty had been split into groups which were to represent by costume or action a word of the greeting: 'LA Merry Christmas to All and to All Good Night. The Candlelight Dinner held in Keil Hall on Wednesday night was unusual in that-for the first time this colorful and lovely event was broadcast through the facilities of a Harrisburg station, and thus many Alumni in this region were able to hear the familiar songs and hymns again. It was at this time also that the presentation of the Aurelian Cup was made by Doctor Edwards to Walter C. Wilson, Jr., of Lowell, Mass. Wvhen dawn broke the next morning, it found most of the school up and ready to go, and when that time came and faces were turned homeward, each left with the spirit of Christmas and the school closely bound in his heart. MID-WINTER WEEK-END FESTIVITIES KZQJHEN the members of the student body assembled in the Carl Lewis Nolde Memorial Gymnasium on Thursday night, February 22, the traditional celebra- tion of Washingtonis Birthday and the annual festivities leading up to the Inter- Society Debate were started. Stony Batter Dramatic Club surpassed itself in productions of recent years with- the excellent staging of Hart and Kaufman comedy, '4You Can't Take It With You. Mr. Pratt L. Tobey as Coach brought to the school a very finished production in which the work of Robert Ellenstein as HPenelope, and Robert Welshans as '4Martin Vanderhofn easily carried off first honors. Friday afternoon the John Marshall Society swimmers and basketball men swept the Washington Irving representatives off the athletic side of the inter- society contests with 28-24-, and 24-16 victories respectively. Friday night in Keil Hall Doctor and Mrs. Edwards assisted by Chairman Andrew C. Redding, of the Dance Committee, received the hundred couples for the formal dance. Bob Riley and his Orchestra furnished the music. Saturday morning the wrestlers failed to stop the Franklin and Marshall Academy team when they lost by a score of 17-13, and the afternoon prior to the tea dance the swimmers won over the Lehigh Freshmen by a score of 44--22. Di- rectly afterwards in the Assembly Hall the tea dance was held with music fur- nished by the Blue and White Melodians. Tea was poured in Traylor Hall by Mrs. Edwards, assisted by ladies of faculty. That night in the Gymnasium the climax of events was reached with the Wlashington Irving Society's victory, marking the twentieth to lVIarshall's nine- teenth, over John Marshall Society. James B. Craig, of Bellefonte, Pa., won the Best Speaker Award. The members of the Marshall team were Robert B. Claytor, 173 Matthew S. Rae, Jr., James B. Craig, Jr., and Charles B. Stoll as Alternate. Irving speakers were Thomas G. Pownall, Whitaker T. Deininger, Charles B. Gilbert, Ill, and Charles G. F ickes, Jr., as Alternate. Dr. Cheesman A. Herrick, President Emeritus of Girard College, was the Chapel Guest Speaker on Sunday, and that night as Mr. Barker gave his Sunday night concert on the Carillon and the school fell off to sleep, Mercersburg had brought to a close one of the most successful week-ends in the history of the Academy. PLAYS FOR COMMENCEMENT or 1939 The Stony Batter Dramatic Club ran into bad Weather the night of the June, 1939, Commencement plays and were forced to turn from the carefully planned set on the stage of the Outdoor Theatre to the Gymnasium stage, but in spite of the hasty changetof plans two effective one act plays were presented. Samuel P. Chase as llus and Donald Beal as Capys', gave excellent performances in the uX:O,,' by John Drinkwater and Robert Viner as Bergamin and Warren Schilling as ulnasquinotl' in The Romancersv by Edmund Rostand were re- cipients of much applause.
