She is gifted in expressiong And can talk to beat the band. Feigned ennui and sang froid Give an air to Connie's act But when once aroused, she's fiery And keeps her friends, too, roused, in fact.

Her willingness, kindness, quiet and pleasant manner, and her capability have made her very popular with all. If you want a thing well done give it to Reba. She never fails. Her soothing manner is bound to have some inHuence on the hurried, worried business world of today.

THE CLASS OF 1931 As through the years we have bid farewell, To those who have gone before us, We, too, have longed to obtain that goal, To tread their steps, to swell their chorus, But now that the end is drawing so near We pause to glance back with a parting tear. . The things so familiar to every eye, The sounds so sweet to the ear, The dusty halls that once we have trod, The class rooms teeming with work and cheer, Now seem to grow dim to our very sight As onward we stride to a greater height. Through four long years we have strived together, Mastering the obstacles in our way, Heeding the fate which has destined us To reach the mark we've secured today. For now we are Seniors, both staunch and true, VVho pledge we'll always be loyal to you. We laud the teachers who guided us on To obtain the standing we have today, And to them shall be given unstinted praise For truth and victories won on the way. They started us in the battle of life To fight true-hearted through every strife. Our classmates we will always remember Though our pathways lie far apart: Though our aims and ideals may differ We will cherish them in our heart. And if on the highway of life we meet, With a friendly smile each other we'll greet. VVe have reached the goal, our future is nearg VVe must say, Farewell Garnet and Gray , But '31 shall ever live on For the glory we won in our day. And when we have reached the gates of success, Full honor we'll pay to our school, M. H. S. VIOLET CuANc'1-1. JANICE HIRST. . ' f ffl ' 'CU ' .- , Dr-.11 - K ..

V... i Hlsronv of '31 L W F a class so large that two rooms had to be pressed into service only four pioneers, Charles Boogher, Flossie MacNichol, Albie Booth, and Bill Yarnall, had blazed a path from kindergarten up till then-that was Septem- ber of the year 1997. The rest had taken up the trail at various times and some were graduates of Delaware Township schools. The latter were placed in the charge of Mrs. Hatt and their leader was George Simes. Miss Darlington very efficiently took care of the others, who had elected Louise Robertson as their president. Representa- tives were also elected from these rooms to serve on the Safety Patrol and Student Council. There were many notable developments that year. In February, lNIrs. Armstrong, then Miss Darlington, helped inaugurate the Tri-Hi Club. The Merchantville Minutes was a home product concerning both the edition and its publication. The forerunners of the interesting assembly programs enjoyed by Merchantville's students today will never be forgotten by their participants. These meetings were held in the present gym and the seats now occupy the music room. There was a three- piece orchestra which played a march, the only selection it knew. After the school was assembled, the teachers would proceed to their places on the platform, Mr. Elder in the lead and Mrs. Hatt bringing up the rear. In the spring we moved to our new build- ing, but it was not so new to most of us after all, especially to those who had been fortu- nate enough to be pupils in Mr. Kartzer's algebra class and had trailed at his heels every time he was called out on business. All of us had some sort of part in the event of the year, the production of the pageant, The Light, under the direction of the various members of the faculty. Will we ever forget the Roman soldiersn? In our Sophomore year, we were imposed upon the watchfulness of Mr. Bishop, the interesting new math and science teacher, and Miss Cornog who proved to be as proficient in the strategy of hockey and basketball as she was in her knowledge of the great battles of history. The two presidents were John Henry and Kingdon Berry. Both left in their junior year, the former moving to Ohio and the latter leaving to attend Lawrenceville. Jeanne Janke had attained such excellent grades in her fresh- man year that she was admitted to the Cooper Hospital to study nursing. Later she was asked to make a suggestion of a name for one of the baby arrivals. As a result, Mr. Elder now has a namesake somewhere in South Jersey. We had only three class activi- ties, a party at the home of Charles Boogher, and two assembly programs. Miss Cornog's section presented a play, the principal parts taken by Mitzi Wolf and Raymond Fringsg then there was the orchestra which broadcasted from Station B. H. --al 16 Is- R. CBishop's Home Roomj. At the close of the year we had not solved that great mystery, Mr. Bishop's first name. During our Junior year, we were no longer divided, but standing together under the exhilarating, yet sensible guidance of Miss Moore. The officers were Fred Voigt, president: Elizabeth Ferg, vice-president: Florence MacNichol, treasurer: and Marjorie Booth, Secretary. Disputes arose as to just what our class colors were, so we voted all over again and decided upon that pretty combination, green and white. We had, this year, brilliant representation in all the school activities. Junior members of the highly successful Aerial Staff were Virginia Storrie, Frank Pettit, Reba Alter, Fred Thatcher, Charles Boogher, Charles Hogg, and Albert Goetz. The Pie-in- Ears and Gobble and Gossip eating clubs originated by Mr. Flury rivaled the eighteenth century English coffee houses. A movement for the abolition of tardiness resulted in, strange to say, bigger and better oratory. Early morning speeches proved to be as much punishment to the class as to the offender. However, when such topics as Are Men Superior to Women and Just How Much? and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes were argumented upon, no one protested. We presented a play in connection with the Glee Club operetta, Tulip Time . The Man in the Bowler Hat owed its success to the riotous comedy of Albert Eisele, the villaing the bang-off good acting of Lloyd Aregood, the Man in the Bowler Hat, Frank Mull, the villain's helper: George Pfeiffer, the hero , Fannie Davis, the heroine g Frank Pettit, John , and Ruth McCauley, Mary . This, and a card party under Mrs. Yarnall's direction increased our treasury considerably. As for social diversions with which to content ourselves, there were the Tri-Hi barn dance, the formal dance given by the Parent-Teacher Association, the Senior prom, and our own Junior prom. Syncopation by the Isle of Melodies orchestra, punch by Mc- Feeley, and Snake Dance by Gorman, were only a few of the features of the latter. We closed our activities by becoming the proud possessers of very bright and very shiny school rings and by helping to officiate at the graduation of the Class of '30. We closed, too, with another mystery to unravel, namely, why did Harry Schott fall asleep that time in history class? Having attained our seniority, we were faced with the big problem of finance. Oiificiating were Leonard Duffy, Presidentg Frank Pettit, Vice-Presidentg Flossie MacNichol, Treasurer: and Mary Hulse, Secretary. Miss Miriam McAllister was the faculty adviser. For the annual Senior production, held shortly before Christmas, we chose Once There Was a Princess . Rulh McCauley in her interpretation of the princess demonstrated ability to be demure as well as exotic. Frank Pettit was Phil, the tinkering ne'er-do-well. Dorothy Myers carried off the part of nosey, scolding Aunt Meta to perfection, while Florence MacNichol, as kind, sympathetic Aunt Kate, and Charles Boogher, Uncle J oe , patched up wonderfully what might have ended in a divorce court. Love interest was added by William Yarnall, Milt , and Madeline McFeeley, Ruby . Virginia Storrie, who had been chosen class siren the year before, astonished everyone by being a naive and serious little Hazel . Louise Robertson, Leonard Duffy, Reba Alter, Virginia Hyer, Marguerite Hum- phreys, and Marjorie Booth must not be forgotten as the supporting cast. Miss McAllister and Fannie Davis directed while Mary Hulse took care of the property. As a means of raising money, too much stress cannot be placed upon Christmas card selling, cake sales, and movie benefits, conventional though they are. The cake sales with our subconscious slogan, more work for Mother, proved quite successful, as did the movie, Tom Sawyer . The following day, two boys were lectured severely in the office for throwing spit-balls. A second benefit was Follow the Leader . ..:gI 17 Finally came the day when everyone wore his best raiment, classes were almost tem- porarily suspended, and students dashed about in various team uniforms. Pictures for the year book were being taken. Albert Goetz was chairman of the committee in charge. That was the day, too, When the school held a funereal sort of assembly in an attempt to reconcile ourselves to the fact that our basketball team had lost the Tri- County Championship to Pitman. There were several new organizations this year giving the Seniors another chance to prove their brilliance. The student council which had died a natural death the year before was reestablished. A constitution was drawn up under the guidance of Mr. Kratzer. Kathleen McFeeley and William Yarnall were elected Senior Representatives. MARY MENG. GWQD WASHINGTDN TIDIID HE trip started off with a bang!-the banging open of a certain suitcase in the B. and O. station. This was the only real excitement we had until we boarded the train, where, to our great surprise, we found several other high schools already represented. The pleasure to be gained from this was abated for the time being as the chaperones said, No getting acquainted with outside people. This did not Worry us for a while as we had quite a time composing messages for post- cards, which were sent to honored members of the faculty. We soon arrived in Wash' ington, hungry for food and for views of the Nation's Capital. The former we satisfied in the Savarin restaurant and the latter in a sight-seeing journey, with our class photograph taken as a form of intermission. After visiting several buildings of note, we were taken by bus to Arlington Cemetery, via Fort Myer. Our guide was very amusing, but we dare not tell his humorous stories as the under-classmen would not enjoy them on their trips. The Amphitheatre and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were very impressive and worthy of our long ride. On our return We visited the Lincoln Memorial and the new Cathedral. Then we went to the most popular building, to us, The Ebbitt Hotel. After dinner we taxied to the Congressional Library. Here we looked over the dayis Camden Courier, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States. In the visiting gallery we saw another unusual sight-Frank Pettit in the reading room below, deep in many volumes. After visits to local movie palaces, we retired to our hotel rooms. The girls began a midnight feast at which they entertained the house detec- tive, who tried to stop the noise by politely QD inviting the quiet, sweet, young things to come to the lobby where he could keep an eye on them. This at two A. M. and every one of them in pajamas! The boys had a like experience only in stronger words. On the second floor, four of our representatives spent the night discussing life histories, the effects of which were plainly visible the next day. The morning after, we were all up and to breakfast on time, even Bill Yarnall Cpoor boy!D who had had only eight hours of sleep! Almost half of that morning we spent waiting in line to see the making of money at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. From there we went down to the wharf, where we awaited the arrival of the boat to take us to Mount Vernon while dancing to the music of the Nickelodeon. As the boat refused to wait, we journeyed down the Potomac without Charles -cal 18 Inc-- Boogher, Tom Nekervis, and Carroll Turner, who were late. QThey taxied down and got there before we did.j The trip on the river and the trip around Mt. Vernon were most beautiful. On the return, we had no time to enjoy the scenery as most of the people were asleep, sitting on Lovers' Deckn, resting with their shoes off, or talking to the quartermaster and the Great Big Man from the South, the latter of whom was attracted to one of our most Winsome blondes. In the afternoon we went to the Washington Monument. A word to the wise, right here- Don't climb up the monu- ment -from those who know! After the strenuous exercise obtained in that building, we moved on to the Museum of Natural Sciences, whence the greater part of the crowd adjourned to the hotel, while a few went to the Hotel Ambassador pool for a swim. We frequented the theatre again that evening and when we came back, the group had a party at which the girls received in gorgeous lounging pajamas. The most exciting happening was the fizzing of the ginger-ale. Everything pepped up after it was over Cask the chaperons, if you don't believe usj, and the young ladies and gentlemen went to their respective rooms, supposedly to sleep. The former found they could have an enjoyable time carrying on conversations through the windows with their male admirers in the rooms below. Consequently, several young ladies received spankings from the chaperon Cpage F. D., M. M., R. AJ, which they were pleased to find hurt her as much as it did them, Finally, as a result of pure exhaustion, we decided to spend the remaining few minutes of the night in slumber. It seemed We had scarcely closed our eyes when the phones rang and a voice said sweetly, Six- thirty. Some of the girls didn't need this information, they were awakened by the serenading from the curbstone below, of some of their ardent young swains. This was the day of days! We went to Annapolis to see the 10:30 drill. The girls enjoyed it immensely but the boys thought the Midshipmen were a Hotty -looking lot. On our way back, as Mitzi was very thirsty, the busman kindly stopped at a refreshment stand so that we might all retank. When lunch was over, we finished our tour at the Smithsonian Institute, where each one could find that which most interested him. From there we returned to the hotel, got our baggage, and were soon on the train homeward bound! Those who were adverse to string beans-which we had had for every meal since our arrival, except breakfast, in some shape or form,-dined at a lunch counter, seven cars down, to avoid eating them again in the dinner served on the diner. At last we arrived at the station looking as we felt, completely worn out. P. S. Here's luck to our chaperons, the best out, Miss McAllister, Miss Rudderow, and Mr. Metzgar-and also to Mr. Morgan, our pal and guide.

FLORENCE MCNILTHOL. KATHERINE REINBOLIJ. 4119?- CLASS WILL Y E THE Senior Class of 1931, of the Merchantville High School, in the County of Camden, and the State of New Jersey, being of sound and disposing min,d, memory, and understanding, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void any and all wills by us at any time heretofore made. To the school in general we leave the memory of our shining faces during work or play. To Mr. Kratzer we leave our set of English diagrams to use in the Class of '32, Lastly, to the individual members of the Junior class we bequeath the following, hoping that they may derive great benefit thereby: We give and bequeath Lloyd Aregood's bulk to Kathryn Flynn, and his curly hair to Denis Zulch. To Mary Elizabeth Blankenbush we leave Charles Boogher's gift of gab, in the hope that she may convince Mr. Bishop she knows her chemistry. VVe bequeath his taste in clothes to Edgar Burrough. Leonard Duffy,s handsomeness we leave to James Specht. To Bunnie Emerson we pass on Leonard's athletic ability. Albert Abie Goetz leaves to Elizabeth Ferg the position as team mascot-as midgets are preferred. Carlisle Hageman's patented bear trap is bequeathed to George Pfeiffer to help keep his mouth shut. Frank Davis shall receive Lawrence Jones' ability to sleep in class, while we bestow Laurence's star-gazing complex on Harold Cashman. To Victor Harris shall pass Frank Mull's originality in giving excuses. Richard Fine shall receive Frank's orange necktie. Thomas Nekervis' red hair is passed on to Leola Clements in hopes it may some- what dilute the solution. We leave the Pettit Creed, owned by Frank Pettit, to Helen Loughrey. His technique in stage kissing is passed to Elsie Moberg tif he has not already transmitted itj. Fred Thatcher leaves his worn out saxophone reeds to Ellis North-as if he didnit have enough already. Carroll Turner's football prowess is passed to Roy Brucks. Stanton Tushingham receives Bill Yarnall's unruly wisp of hair. Morris Pennell may have Constance Allen's comedy acting. Wilma Crane re- ceives Connieis hair. Reba Alter's perseverance we bestow upon Herbert Wheeler. --:AI 20 Is-- Marjorie Booth's literary style we leave to Edgar Lincoln. Her size goes to Bertha Miller. To William Meyer we bequeath Barbara Carson's tight walk,'. Violet Chance's silence we give to Margaret Knell in hopes that she will profit by it. Her gym grade goes to Joseph Groves. To Mary Walker we leave Fannie Davis' HIT . Next we leave Janet Gerhard's giggle to Marcus Matthias. With his hearty boom it should be irresistible. After much consideration, we have decided to bequeath Janice Hirst's pretty hands to Fred Voigt. John Walker we make the recipient of Mary Hulse's uncontrollable hair. Virginia Hyer's boy friend we bestow upon Mary Keating, if she can get him. To Catherine Millen and Robert Waddel we bequeath Alice Iles' strut. Florence MacNichol in desperation leaves the spare pennies and unpaid bills of the Senior Class to Robert Druce. Her hockey ability goes to Caroline Woodward. To Roscoe Riley we leave Ruth McCauley's beauty, to match his title. Her eye- brows go to Charles Potter. Eugene Bekampis is given Madeline McFeeley's smoothness. Kash McFeeley's droll remarks are turned over to Browning Deacon, to add to his collection of unique mannerisms. Marguerite Humphrey's blond locks go to Edward Potter. Mary Meng leaves her ruddy complexion to Marion Clements. That ought to save the cosmetic bill. Marietta Shwenger may have Dorothy Myer's fast stepping. Dot's slimness she leaves to Myrtle McCauley. Gwen Prichard's protruding neck is left to Reba Baldwin. She can now hang it further over Coke's shoulder. Inza lVIcComb may prepare to shine with the help of Kathryn Reinbold's basket- ball ability which is left to her. Louise Robertson leaves her nonchalance to Raymond Frings- or somethin'. Nan Mason may try her hand as a gold digger for Myrtle Wolf bequeaths that ability to her. Edward Page may have Eleanor Brown's Southern drawl. David Springs may make use of her blush. And last but not least to the VVood brothers, Edward and Howard, we leave Virginia Storrie's ambition-hoping to see real work next year. To Otto Mattner we bequeath, after n1ucl1 debating, Ginnie's Latin ability. VVe do hereby constitute and appoint our faithful adviser, McAllister, sole executrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness hereof, we, the Class of 1931, the testators, have to this will, set our hands and seal this 16th day of June, One thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-one.

CHARLES BOOGHER, he sees in the Senate of the United States govern- ment with the reputation of being the most long winded filibusterer. He and TOM NEKERVIS are still sticking together. VVhat a friendship! But it works this way. Tommy goes to Washington in his airplane-yes, he's a licensed pilot-and takes Charles off for the week-end to go hunting. LEONARD DUFFY is in the far north working for the Canadian Mounted Police. VVe don't know why he went there. He had nothing to hide except that he couldn't get his woman. We hope he'll be more successful in getting his man. ELEANOR BROWN wouldn't look at him. She went back home to Alabama and her Thurston. She will be sailing soon to Africa where her husband is booming the diamond market. Old Neptune looked into the sea and chuckled. Can you imaginef, he said, where I see CONNIE ALLEN? She's sit.ting in a dressing room talking to a group of Follies girls-sheys the star of the show-a side-splitting comedian. She's all sur- rounded with flowers sent by her Frenchman who is simply years older than she-but then she's always liked them that way. And while we're in that line let's peep into Hollywood. BARBARA CARSON is out there on a five-year contract with Paramount. She's making out very well and is somewhere in the class with Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Jean Harlow. Little ALBIE BOOTH and MARY HULSE have an apartment together in the great city of New York. It's queer that two such quiet people could get together in such a noisy place. But Albie is writing free verse and an occasional novel, anyone of which might set the world on fire, while Mary is gathering together material to write another thesis in order to get a few more letters after her name. ALBERT GOETZ'S name is in all the papers for he's the manager of the Phillies. His best man is FRED THATCHER, who plays left field. They haven't won any games yet, but they are hopeful. FRANK MULL studied at the Central Air Port and is piloting a mail Zeppelin across the Paciic Ocean. He has just received this position for he has been helping Colonel Lindberg in a flight to the Sahara Desert. Father Neptune foretold two futures for LAURENCE JONES-one is after his -31 Q3 Ib.. father's profession, the ministry-but this d0esn't occupy all his time. He stays up nights and watches the stars-looking for his Venus. REBA ALTER is a private secretary to J. Pierpont Morgan and carries on amidst an avalanche of modernistic furniture which was selected by GWENDOLYN PRICH- ARD, who is free-lancing in the line of interior decoration in New York City. Father Neptune was rather worried for he saw that FRANK PETTIT, finding himself unsuccessful in logrolling among men, has decided to take to the lower depths and try his stuff on the more watery minds of our finny friends. JANET GERHARD is in Mexico composing a second Peanut Vendor's song so that if a second Douglas Fairbanks should visit her inn, he would choose her for his next picture. DOT C. MYERS and LOUISE ROBERTSON are in Paris together living in the Latin Quarter. Dot is a social leader there, in fact the life of every party, and Louise is designing costumes for Flo Ziegfeldis productions. By the way, the famous afore- mentioned Mr. Ziegfeld has a worthy protegee, none other than FLOSSIE MAC- NIUHOL When Flossie has learned to kick the back of her head, she will become Flo Ziegfeld, Jr. Old Nep says that MASH MCFEELEY and MITZI WOLF are at last separated. Mash is a Parisien maniquin knocking all the American millionaire gentle- men for a row and Mitzi is somebody's stenog with a record for pulling gum. LLOYD AREGOODU, Father Neptune said, is in a Chicago meat packing house. What a butcher !-he invented a way to manufacture hot dogs out of live dogs. VIOLET CHANCE is a buyer of frocks in Saks-Fifth Avenue store. She says they have sold more red dresses this year than ever before for the Danish opera star ALICE ILES was seen on Fifth Avenue last month in a fiery red chiffon tea-gown. U Mr. Neptune remarked that we certainly did have high flying class-aviators, opera stars, artists, etc. but that he was glad to see that one of them had a few sensible ideas. He saw VIRGINIA HYER settled down in California, married to a handsome dark brute and surrounded by five shining young faces. Three are hers and two are the neighbor's children. Neptune saw CARLISLE HAGEMANN in the automobile business, buying un- painted cars and then hand painting them Garnet and Gray to sell to the students of hlerchantville High School. RUDY MCCAULEY is a second Helen Wills with a few added sidelines. She's a tennis star, paints and draws, skis, ice skates, swims, but spends most of her time as aviatrix turning somersaults in the air. KASH MCFEELEY has gone native on us. She's a budding young violinist with long flowing locks and curly eye-lashes. PEG HUMPHREYS has a drop of loyalty in her blood. She's still sticking to her dear old town of Merchantville and is teaching some darling little children in second grade. JINNY STORRIE has followed poetry and stuck tolit. She's putting out just reams of it-some good and some bad. Sheis thinking seriously of going to London. Perhaps in the next fifty years she will be chosen Poet Laureate of England. Father Neptune chuckled once again. Here is a surprise! That quiet little KITTY REINBOLD is teaching dancing in Philadelphia. She and hlyrtle Walkden are partners. Kitty teaches toe-dancing and Miss Walkden teaches acrobats. If you should drop in at their studio, you'd see dust flying. -JI 24 IP:- JANICE HIRST and MARY MENG have started a red-headed league. Only those who have red hair grown in the halls of dear old Merchantville are eligible. But this doesn't take up all their time. Janice is studying law and Mary owns a Chinese laundry. Father Neptune saw Fannie Davis as the owner of a beauty salon in New York City. She blends face powders, etc., for the individual and her trade name is Fannie the Face Fixer. CARROL TURNER is a millionaire. He rides around in a Ford and smokes 15- cent cigars all because he invented a new trick automobile horn and had it patented before someone else did. BILL YARNALL is an admiral at Annapolis and spends his time teaching the boys how to keep their chins up with their garrison caps on their heads. M '31 ON DECK T ITS Class Night performance on the evening of June 16, 1931, the senior class took its iinal voyage on the good ship Merchantville . The first act revealed all members on board, worried because of a storm and a seemingly difficult landing ahead. They were disappointed that the end of the last trip had to be so difficult, but consoled themselves by reviewing the three previous, very successful trips that they had enjoyed together. In the second act the storm seemed to grow worse. For a time, however, the passengers forgot their worries in the entertainment provided by the talent on board. Singing and dancing, all under the direction of Charles Boogher as Master of Cere- monies, proved diverting until the seriousness of the storm could no longer be over- looked. Captain Duffy calmly reassured the passengers, but they insisted upon hear- ing the will preparatory to placing it in a bottle which was to be thrown into the ocean. As they were signing the will, Neptune appeared from the dept.hs of the sea. He told them that their fate was in his hands and that he had decreed that none of them should perish. To prove this he foretold their future by giving them a glimpse of each individual as the group passed in procession by the port-hole of life . In the fourth act the ship was attacked by the Junior pirates who wished to take possession. First Mate Pettit informed them that in due time the important charge of the good ship Merchantville would be theirs, and admonished them to use their heritage wisely. On leaving, the pirates forgot their treasure chest which the seniors found to contain packages marked with their names. As these gifts were dis- tributed, the S. S. Merchantvillen sailed into a calm and peaceful harbor. Thankful for their unexpected safety, the group joined in singing The Class of '31 . The committee responsible for originating and developing this program was as follows: Miss Anne Haldeman and Miss Amy Stewart, advisers: Charles Boogher, chairman: hlarjorie Booth, Ruth McCauley, Louise Robertson, Thomas Nekervis, --v1 25 Ir-- E HAVE WITI-I U CONSTANCE ALLEN ....

The Student Council, under the presidency of H. Frank Pettit and the supervision of Mr. Howard, started to function at the beginning of the second semester. Under the jurisdiction of the organization come such activities as inter-class competition and student misdemeanors. Other officers elected were William K. Yarnall, Vice-President, Elizabeth U. Ferg, Secretary, and Joseph R. Carson, Treasurer. Senior Tri-Hi-This year has been a successful and full one for the Senior Tri-Hi. The members have been kept continually busy with their various projects. The Sailor Dance and Faculty Breakfast were two of our most novel functions. At Christmas time, we gave a party for children with a tree, Santa Claus, toys, candy, and every- thing. Then, in May, came our annual Mother and Daughter Banquet and in June, as usual, our mock commencement in which the Seniors graduated from our club. Our program has continually been enjoyable. We have been aided in all activities by our competent adviser, lllrs. Armstrong. The oflicers for the year were: President, Florence lNIacNicholg Vice-President, Kathryn Flynn, Treasurer, Barbara Carson, Secretary, Dorothy C. Myers. Le Cercle F rangails-The French Club, under the direction of Miss Null, was organ- ized in September, 1930, with Louise Robertson, President, Charles Boogher, Vice- Presidentg Florence MacNichol, Secretary and Violet Chance, Treasurer. The out- standing activities of the club were a talk by a native Frenchman, Mr. Gallagher, of the University of Pennsylvania, on the subject of Christmas Customs of the French People , a visit to the Europa to see the French movie, Sous Les Toits De Paris , an original,and, we are told, clever presentation of song and dance in a January as- sembly, and on a Saturday afternoon, a The Dansantn. With minor plays, cross- word puzzles and readings, the Club enjoyed a very interesting and successful year. Glee Club-The Glee Club, an organization of forty-eight members, is under the leadership of Miss Ethel V. Rudderow. The Club meets once a week in the music room. On December 16, 1930, the chorus rendered four songs in the assembly. They were: Mighty 'Lak a Rose' by Ethelbert Nevin, By the Waters of Minnetonka by Thurlow Lieuranceg Gypsy Love Call by Victor Herbert, and The Bells of St. Mary's by Emmet A. Adams. On March 20 and 21, 1931, the combined Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, with the aid of several outside boys, presented a two-act comedy, The Belle of Bagdad, by Morgan and Johnson. The principal parts were taken by Anne Casper, Sara Pennell, Eleanor Giles, Constance Allen, Alice Iles, Ruth Magowan, Ruth Matthews, Florence MacNichol, Betty Boogher, Charles Boogher, Marcus Matthias, Bill Matthias, Norman Steadman, Morris Pennell and Robert Holleufer., .QI 27 Ig..

We opened with a hard fought victory over the strong Alumni team. The score was 641. A week later, in the first Tri-County League game, Merchantville went down to defeat, 30-0, at the hands of the heavy Gloucester team. But the next week. Merchantville came back and won the first game of the Tri-County League and the second of the season when they defeated Clayton in a hard-fought game 7e0 at Merchantville. October 17, marked the first time that we ever defeated our closest rivals, Camden Vocational, in football. Both teams fought exceptionally hard and in the end. Merchantville won 6e0. In the next game the team fought its hardest of the season but went down to defeat l3ef0 at the hands of the strong Paulsboro High. The following week, Merchantville met her arch rivals of the court, Pitman, on the gridiron. The final score was the closest of the season with the Garnet and Gray supreme by the score of 745. The margin of the extra point was gained by a wonderful forward pass. 1Ve traveled to Glassboro a week later and lost 19-0. November 14, Mcrchantville ran up the highest score ever compiled by a Mer- chantville Football Team in the past ten years when they defeated VVoodstown, 24-412, in a sea of mud. Four touchdowns to our opponents, two gave us an easy victory. Another red letter day was the Friday following, November 21, when, for tl1e first time in three years, we defeated Swedesboro in any line of sports. The result of this hard fought, skillfully-played game was 6e0 in favor of Merchantville. Thanksgiving day, November 27, was the game of games. In the Turkey Day battle, Merchantville played Audubon before one of the largest crowds that ever Cfl0I1fI.II1IL'!I on page 3.41 1 , . BASKETBALL ERCHANTVILLE in 1931 had the best basketball season which we, as a high school, have ever enjoyed. In the beginning of the year prospects for Coach Elder's turning out a winning team were most dubious. But, after losing two practice games before Christmas, scheduled to give the new subs experience and confidence in themselves, the team was able to submit a wonderful record in the regularly scheduled league competition. Two games were lost, one to Gloucester. and one to Pitman. placing Pitman and lilerchantville in a tie for first place. Un entering the Class B State Tournament, Nlerchantvillc was scheduled to play the winners of the Pitman-Gloucester game. the victor turning out to be Pitman. This meant that Pitman and Merchantville had to play two games, one for the cham- pionship of the Tri-County League and one for advancement or elimination in thc State Class HB Tournament. Each of these contests aroused the keenest interest among fans of both schools because both the preceeding games in thc league schedule had been real battles, undecided till the closing whistles, each team winning on its home floor. After a hectic battle on Friday Night, lNIarch 13, at the VVoodrow VVilson Junior High School, lilerchantville defeated Pitman in the Class B Tournament. Q4-QQ. On the Tuesday immediately following. Pitman was again encountered at 1Voodrow 1Vilson Junior High, for the League Championship. After another just as fast, furi- ous, uncertain, and extra period fray, Pitman emerged victorious by the score of 2635. ln the four games played with Pitman. lilerchantville scored 100 points to Pitman's 99. Thus did this spirited feud come to a fitting end. fl'or1f1'1zuerl on page 3.41 3 1 Ig.. HOCKEY HE 1930 hockey season turned out to be a success despite the fact that we did not manage to win a great many games. The spirit was there in the form of 47 ambitious girls playing for the play's sake. If quantity had been a factor, there is no doubt that we would have ranked Ace High . It is easy to win, and it is always hard to lose, but since we all aim to be successful, let's examine what this success is: It's daring blithely thejield of chance While making labor a brave romanceg It's going onward despite defeat And ji'ghtz'ng staunchly, but keeping sweety It's being clean and it's playing fairg I t's laughing lightly at Dame Despairg I t's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin, I t's serving, striving through strain and stress, I t's doing your Noblestwthafs Success! Kitty Reinhold. our captain, was a true example of this spirit. Partly because of her leadership, and partly because we are what we are, we pushed on. And so, we claim success. The Senior class was well represented on the varsityg and we are proud of Mitzi, Albie, Florence, Mash and Dot because they were of the chosen few to earn their letters. Dorothy also had the honor of being manager.

Our basketball record,though not as successful in number of games won as last year's, was even more successful in the fact that we competed against stronger schools who were in the Wlest Jersey Basketball League with us and in which league we gained undis- puted second place. There were twenty-eight girls this year striving for a place on iVIerchantville's famous basketball team, four of whom were seniors. One oi' these seniors gained a permanent position on the team and received her letter. Two others played in 50 per cent of the first team games, thereby winning their letters. In all, there were nine let.ter girls: Katherine Reinhold, '31: Violet Chance, '3l: Louise Robertson, '31: Marion Clements, '3Q: Inza McComb, '32: Katherine Flynn, '8F2: Elizabeth Ferg QManagerD, '32: Daisy Jensen, '33: VVinnifred Armstrong, '33.

Audubon started fast, making the score at the end of the third quarter, Audubon, 20-the result of three touchdowns and two extra points, Merchantville, 0-the result of the cold weather. But in the fourth quarter, Merchantville warmed up and marched down the field, via line bucks, end runs, and forward passes to a touchdown, thus scoring upon the Audubon team for the first time in three years. With five minutes before the end of the game, Merchantville received the ball and started another march down the field which again resulted in a touchdown and an extra point, making the score 20-13. With a minute to go, Mer- chantville received the ball, and, in a battle of time, marched toward another touch- down and possibly a tied game when the closing whistle found the ball only twenty yards away from the desired goal. The 1930-31 football team left a record for the future teams to strive for. Besides scoring more points per season and per game, and winning more games than ever be- fore, the team as a whole, varsity and squa.d, kept training rules and fought their hardest in every game. What more can a team do to be called great? The schedule and the scores follow: ow.

This closed a season which did more for the bettering of the representation of the school than many other main factors in its development. A total of 16 games were won, and 6 lost. The team did not win a league champion- ship, nor did they become state victors, but they are the pioneers of our sports develop- ment-and we hope that other teams of our school will try to achieve again this high mark of success, or possibly pass it. And most of all, may they carry with them that sense of true sportsmanship and honor which was ever dominant in the actions of this truly great team.
