These years have been iilled with many pleasant adventures and experiences. the memories of which. as we now approach the harbor, we pause to preserve by compiling the Record of the Ship oi Dedication VER since Miss McAllister first came to Merchantville High School in l92'7, her services have been invaluable. The success and development of our publications, the Aerial and the Record , were in great measure the results of her efforts, While the English department also owes much to her splendid spirit of progress and co- operation. We sincerely regret that the school will be without the services of so capable a teacher and adviser next year: however we join the student body in ex- tending the heartiest wishes for her success and happiness in the future. ln recognition of her ac- complishments, We, the class of l936, respectfully dedicate our year book to MIRIAM MCALLISTER 4 At the Helm Burton MacNichol, President Lavetta Davis, Business Manager William Gerhard, Vice-President Dorothy Lees, Secretary Treasurers: Marjorie Heck, Louis McAfoos, Roger North Council Representatives: William Gillam, Alice Miller, Russell Plummer Iohn W. Kratzer, Supervising Principal I. Hunter Howard, Principal Elizabeth D. Armstrong Miriam McAllister Helen W. Sheaffer HE SENKDR CABINET is the group who met, planned cruises, and sailed our ship through many successful trips. The general supervision of Christ- mas cards, plays, reports of class finances, and, lastly, our Washington trip fell to this group. The class owes much of its success to its adviser, Mr. Howard, to Mr. Kratzer, and to our home room teachers, Mrs. Armstrong, Miss McAllister, and Mrs. Sheaffer. Equal thanks and praise must be accorded to our fine Captain and President, Burton MacNichol, who steered the ship safely through squalls and calms. ,tl H a r IOHN W.

Smiling, but reserved and independent, her high marks and sunny disposition are an asset to any group. She is such a quiet and unassuming girl that few people know all the work she has done about the school. Never- theless, you Romeos watch your stepg for beneath that innocent exterior may lie many a wile.

BEATTIE Icky Quiet but congenial, shy yet always willing to lend a helping hand, is the description which best fits Isabelle. Her usual companion is Melita, and the two can often be seen having fun together. lust mention horse-back riding if you want to see and hear lsabelle become enthusiastic. Who knows but what we shall some day see her name appear as that of a famous equestrienne. Commercial Club 47 Third Honors, First Semester 4. ESTHER FLORENCE BALDWIN While dashing madly about discharging her duties before the first period and while acting as monitor, Esther has often seemed to be depressed by the weight of her responsibilities. However, it is obvious that she has little cause for dejection. The teachers report that she is one of the most efficient members of the class: when they haven't time to keep checking up on an assignment they give it to Esther, knowing it will be completed correctly when needed. Monitor 4, Tri-Hi 2, 3, 45 Hockey Squad 2, 3, AH5 RALPH W. BICKNELL Speed If things look black and everyone is blue but you see a brown-haired boy smiling, you'll know it's Ralph. His grand sense of humor has given the law class many a hearty laugh. Ralph's favorite pastime is memorizing his friends' car license numbers, which he does surpris- ingly well. During his three years at Merchantville, Ralph's sunny disposition and pleasing personality have won him many friends among both the students and teachers. Monitor 2, 3, 43 Commercial Club 47 Second Honors 37 Third Honors, First Semester 4. GERTRUDE BLACK Trudy A sunny smile, a nice disposition, a dash of common sense, blazing red hair, and there we have Gertrude. Her funny little giggle is frequently heard in Book- keeping lll class, but as yet no one has christened her giggling Gertief' We attribute her quietness to the fact that she always seems to be hard at work, proof of which can be seen in that she always has her Commercial work in on time. No doubt, Miss McAllister realizes Gertrude's worthy for she has proved a most efficient secretary. Commercial Club 41 Contemporary Club 4. ttH5 DOROTHY ESTELLE BOYD Iqqy Dot is undoubtedly one of the most popular and charming girls in the class. As a student she is both efficient and dependable. Her artistic abilities are fre- quently exhibited by the appearance of advertising posters throughout the corridors of dear old M, H. S. This fact also illustrates her extreme willingness to co- operate in the various activities of the school.

VERNON LEE BOUSHELL Bush Vernon is one of those tall, mechanically and scien- tifically minded boys who will gladly argue until the cows come home. He speaks French excellently and has a fine tenor voice. His hobby is aviation, and his ambition is to make it his profession. We have a feeling he'll do it too: for he has what it requires to scale the ladder of success. Besides being so versatile, Vernon is a good scout, always ready to help one out. We'll surely miss him, all right. Monitor 35 French Club 3: Glee Club 4: Third Honors, First Semester 4, Camden County Pageant 3. DAVID BRZOZOWSKI Rubinoii Dave is known to the class as Rubinofi because of his ability to play the violin. A member of the school orchestra for the last four years, he may some day be conducting one of his own. Problems seem to be a par- ticular hobby of his. No argument or math stickler ever proves too much for him to try. In addition to all this, Dave is a grand sport and true friend. lust ask Ben, his constant companion.

BURMEISTER Phil Whenever we gaze upon Phyllis's golden coiffure we wonder how she obtained those millions of ringlets, and how she manages to keep them in such a flawless posi- tion. We still try to figure out how she gets any sleep, for she surely must fear that her golden head would be disarranged by contact with a pillow. Still, she is able to keep the effect, and we must say that it is one of the class marvels. Monitor 27 Tri-l-li 27 Hockey Squad 2. CHARLES G. CAMPBELL Lowell Thomas Charley might be considered a shy sort of individual by some, but he certainly has a way with the women. lt might be that Clarke Gable moustache he's been try- ing to cultivate, and which he recently shaved off in an attempt to raise a healthy young goatee. Of course, this, and his ability on the gridiron, joined with his tall, dark and handsomeness, made him the best-looking boy of our Worthy class. Football Squad 2, Varsity 3, 47 Baseball Varsity 2. MARGARET CAMM Marge Margaret is another of our classmates about whom no one seems to know a great deal except that she is disposed to silent thought and a moody disposition. We often wonder how one can be so reserved7 but here is Margaret, our sterling example, seemingly unaffected by any of the class wits with their wise t?l cracks. Nevertheless, who knows what may be under that digni- fied exterior which is never pierced. Aerial Staff 47 Commercial Club 47 Third Honors 37 Second Honors, First Semester 47 Office Work 4. O WESLEY ROY CASE Wes Presenting Merchantville's maestro of snappy, scin- tillating modern music! During the past few years Wes has made a name for himself as a band-leader. Besides playing an efficient trumpet in our orchestra, Wes can tickle the ivories in a style to be envied by anyone. Merchantville may well be proud of Wes and his ac- complishments, and we are willing to bet that his pro- ficiency in his profession will carry him far.

CHILDERS Big lack Brightness personified, is what we always think of when lack is mentioned, for he never fails to answer correctly when questioned about an Algebra or Physics problem. Besides this, his congenial personality and cheery manner make him well liked by all his fellow students. That big things come in small packages must be true, for Iack's high and mighty ambition is to be a future student at Ohio University.

O MARION CONNELL Snippy Meet Marion, the well dressed and sophisticated young lady of the senior class, whose distinctive style of hair-dress has brought a certain inimitable verve and dash to the corridors of M. H. S. Besides introducing the pleasant atmosphere of Fifth Avenue to the school, Marion takes an active part in the current social activi- ties, being a familiar figure at our dances. One of her pet diversions is joking with le beau professeur Bishop about his home town and the folks back home.

CHARLOTTE E. COE Look out, Lily Pons and Grace Moore! From M. H. S. comes a singer who is going to give you present top- notchers some stiff competition. Charlotte has been in the Glee Club, the All State Chorus, and has also sung in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. This, in our opinion, is an attainment of which to be proud. Possessed of a fine speaking and singing voice, one day she will reach the topg and we are all looking forward to seeing her name in lights in the not-too- distant future.

As these are necessary ingredients in the recipe for making friends, we know he will get along. Track 45 Perfect Attendance 47 Second Honors, First Semester 4. LAUREL COWEN A pair of bright brown eyes, a row of curls, and a snappy comeback'---there you have Laurell She's a little bit independent, but in spite of this her opinions are usually right. As for her ability as an actress, just remember her in the junior and senior plays. Never ask her about her private affairs, for a twinkle in her eye and a quick smile will indicate that she knows more than she tells.

Although quiet most of the time, Grace laughs heartily at her friends' jokes and is always ready to lend a helping hand where needed. lncidentally Grace will be one of the first brides in the class, for she is to be married soon after graduation.

However, we know that he is good in sports, especially baseball: and his honor roll average shows that he does not waste his spare time. His friendly and persevering nature, which is always present, has won him many friends among his classmates and teachers. Baseball Squad 35 Hi-Y 27 Third Honors, First Semes- ter 4. WILLIAM M. DAVIS Bill Bill is a flaxen-haired lad with a shy, captivating smile. l-le's a whiz in Chemistry, and his persuasive recitations convince the class, even though the professor fails to applaud. Bill is also a probable second Frank Buck, to say nothing of his artistic ability. His hunting, at present, is carried out in the wilds of Merchantville: but it won't be long before he will be bringing them back alive from Africa, Borneo, and points East.

As far as the former fact is concerned, we can truthfully say that with due time she could think up an alibi for anything. Dorothea is a good student and an efficient person, always ready to pitch in and help, when help is needed.

He is always smiling, except perhaps when he is causing someone to burst into a fit of laughter by his clowning antics. Don goes in for vociferous activities--dramatics and cheerleading. Yes, Don, M.

Her future employer may receive worthy infor- mation concerning her from Mr. Smiley, for he chose her for the position of his secretary. No doubt Kay's name will be seen under some well-known column in a newspaper, for her desire is to become a full-fledged newspaper reporter.

Yes, you have guessed it. Here comes Sarah, the girl whose favorite pastime is dancing. She always knows the latest steps and is in her glory when gliding over a slippery dance floor.

Even if Ruth's passion isn't exactly for Physics, she doesn't allow it to keep her from high marks or the class honor roll.

In the selection of his coiffure, Leonard must have been influenced by Herrick's Delight in Disorder, for it is certainly unique. All joking aside, he is a fine fellow always ready for fun. Leonard plays a good game of golf and is a member of the team. How he uses the clubs is a mystery, for they are nearly as tall as he.

ROWLAND W. GILPIN Rollo Surely you remember the tall young man who, last October, joyfully took the position of football manager and valiantly tried to get the announcements straight to avoid the razzing of his classmates. Well, that was Rollo. His stellar accomplishment is his faculty for falling asleep in dull classes and seeming to be awake at the same time. Though he is not exactly a star pupil, his interest in the French class is centered very profitably around the most studious girl in the seniors' lcg, ROBERT CHARLES GIUNTA Scoop Bob, a very likable and talkative chap, is well known as a sports writer for our school newspaper. Perhaps he gets his inspirations from attending all the athletic performances put on by his Alma Mater. Although Bob wears glasses which tend to give him a rather studious air, he does not thoroughly love his studies. However, he still manages to get through and to maintain his reputation as an ardent supporter of M. H. S.

NAOMI REDDING Namie Naomi is the vivacious young lady who may be seen almost daily after school in the library, finding books for bewildered students, returning ponderous volumes to their proper places, and stamping the cards with an executive air. We imagine that Naomi's pastime must be either arguing with Mr. Bishop or writing poetry, for she does both with exceeding success. She has a cheerful disposition and a pleasant smile.

POWELL Pal Ed was a valuable member of the basketball team where his long, loose-jointed frame served as a real asset in his position as center. His marvelous sense of humor and ready wit with cracks for all occasions have made him generally popular. In study hall Ed really lets himself go, draping his lengthly limbs over and around the seats and napping between chapters. Even with these activities, Ed finds time for the weaker sex. Versatile, eh what? Basketball Squad 2, Varsity 3, 4. ELIZABETH IANE RIDDLEBAUGH Betty Here is the young lady who has caused so much heart-trouble among our school's so-called stronger sex, yes, she was voted the prettiest girl in the class. Betty's alluring smile and twinkling eyes make her ci favorite with one and all.

H ? ix, .. 53' I' 1 Senior Crchestra An important organization of M. H. S. is the senior orchestra, which plays for all senior activities and school programs. Outstanding among the latter was its own First Annual Musicale. It has also performed in several outside events including a concert for the Merchantville Music Club. Thirty-three or- chestra members represented Merchantville in the Camden County Music Festival, five in the All-State Orchestra at the New Iersey State Teachers' Association Convention, and twenty-six at the New lersey State Festival. Seniors who will be greatly missed next year include: David Brzozowski, Wesley Case, Marion Hughes, Orville Iohnson, Viola Iohnson, Eleanor Krewson, Louis McAfoos, Robert Stewart, and Thomas Ward. Not only the music department, but also the en- tire school will feel the loss of its talented accompanist, Eleanor Krewson. Glee Club Beside participation in assembly programs for both junior and senior high schools, serv- ing as choir at the Baccalaureate Service, and the sponsoring of one assembly musi- cale by professional talent, these clubs have extended their services to include both coun- ty and state activities. From these groups nine students were ac- cepted to sing with the All-State High School Chorus before the New lersey State Teach- ers' Association last November in Conven- tion Hall, Atlantic City. A still greater honor was accorded them when they were invited to sing in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, as a closing program of the National Conference of the Department of Public School Music. Twenty-seven students representing Merchantville High School took part in the Choral group of the Camden County Music Festival held in the Haddon- field Memorial High School. Senior Hi-Y The Hi-Y Club under the guidance of Mr. Smiley has had a very successful year. The officers include: President, Ioseph Varey Vice-President, Ioseph Disnerg Secretary, Donald De Longy Treasurer, David Mago- wan. Every Thursday morning during the school year it has held its meetings. In addition to enjoying the talks of selected speakers, the members benefitted spiritually by religious discussions. The program of activities included the Valentine Basketball Victory Dances, a trip through an industrial plant, waiting upon tables at various school banquets, and giving baskets at Thanksgiv- ing time to deserving families. The Senior Hi-Y farewell party at Camp Ockanicon closed a year of achievement. Senior Tri-Hi During the past year this successful, popular, enterprising, and irrepressible organization gave itself wholeheartedly to the honor and service of our school and community. lts high record of accomplishment is in large measure due to the wise and cheerful coun- sel of the adviser, Mrs. Armstrong. Among many activities were: A Barn Dance, A Christmas Party for the children at The Shel- tering Arms, donations to the Y. W. C. A. and to the Red Cross, sponsoring of a drive for the Needlework Guild, baskets heaped with good things to eat for needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, a Valentine Party celebrating Senior Tri-Hi's eighth birth- day, and also several Tea Dances. Surpass- ing all other functions was the Mother and Daughter Banquet. This was followed short- ly afterward by the Senior Farewell bringing a year of joyful activity to its close. . J AJ' lj, V 5 IV , li rl. t 4 Commercial Club The Commercial Club is a newly organized group conducted in the interest of commer- cial students desiring outside diversification. With all tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students in the Commercial Course eligible, the membership this year was 136. The pic- ture on this page includes Betty Holliger, President, Eugene Hartman, Vice-Presidenty Helen Hoopes, Secretary: Florence Eckman, Treasurer, and the members of committees. An Athletic Wedding was presented by the members at one of the meetings. Other activities have included a Christmas Party, a Commercial Contest, which was conducted in the form of a Track Meet, and an amateur Circus. The club is planning to give an an- nual award to the Commercial senior hav- ing the highest average. Mrs. Edith B. Eck- man and Mrs. Elizabeth D. Armstrong are the advisers for the club. Classical Club The Classical Club, under direction of Mrs. Pentz, started November, l935, with eighty- five members. Officers were elected as fol- lows: President, Louis McAfoosg Vice-Presi- dent, Evelyn l-lubery Secretary, Betty Sextong Treasurer, Betty Evans, Assistant Program Chairman, Elbert Boogher. Organization meetings took much time, but each member learned to drape and wear togas and made a Roman Christmas card as well as learned to sing Latin songs. ln February a silver cup was presented to Albert Scheflen, win- ner of our Roman Amateur Contest. The Adventures of Ulysses with a cast of twen- ty-four and with colorful costumes made by club members, was given in a March meet- ing and before the high school assemblies in May. The senior group corresponded with many colleges and universities and learned their scholarship and entrance re- quirements for the future use of the organ- ization and entire school. il Q, ' SG 1 .K 1 YWNJ Debating Club The newly organized Debating Club was directed by Miss Ruth Sloan and Mrs. Betty Wassell. lts officers include: President, K. Iefferisg Vice-President, P. Zackon, Secretary, E. Huber, Treasurer, M. Paradeep Publicity Chairman, V. Slade. One of the club's first activities was an assembly debate: Be- solved, Smoking for Women ls Wrong. The affirmative side won. Later in the year the varsity team was selected and an inter- scholastic debate with Paulsboro, on Social- ized Medicine, was held March 26. The Merchantville team included: K, lefferis, cap- tain: P. Zackon, E. Boberts, M. E. Aschman, and E. Howard, alternate. On May 6 the club debated upon the much discussed New Iersey Sales Tax. This activity program was augmented by various social events and other debates within the club. Also a num- ber of the members attended a mock trial at Glassboro sponsored by the New Iersey Forensic League. I I I I I I I I I 1 Swimming Club Another branch of girls' athetics at Merchant- ville High is the Swimming Club. This or- Qanization provides healthful recreation for any girl in the junior and senior high school, who wishes to join. Many take advantage of this opportunity, for there are eighty mem- bers on the roll. Every Friday afternoon finds girls dashing to their lockers, and then to the bus stop, in a wild rush to be in the Camden Y. W. pool by four o'cloclc. Once all-wet the girls divide into groups, and under the able instruction of Miss Walkden and Miss Browning, some are taught the fundamentals of swimming, others life-sav- ing, and the varsity swimming team is coached. Everyone, whether she is an Eleanor Holm Iarret, or not, has a splash- ing good time. Officers of the club are: President, Betty Evans: Secretary, Betty Mc- Kee: Treasurer, Evelyn Huber. When Hearts Are Young MONG the various activities of the year the annual play given by the graduat- ing class should not be overlooked. This year under the capable directorship of Mrs. Sheaffer a charming romantic comedy, When Hearts Are Young, was presented. The eleven students chosen for the cast proved their acting ability and put on a fine performance, both Friday and Saturday evenings, the seventeenth and eighteenth of April. Marion Hughes and Earl Hoffman, who had the leading roles, were exception- ally good in their portrayal of the enthusias- tic Sylvia and the often-engaged Willoughby Spencer. The character roles of Vokins, the butler, and Mrs. Vokins, the housekeeper, were made more delightful by the pic- turesque Devon dialect, mastered in the cor- rect English style by Norman Rudderow and Laurel Cowen. Selina Yelland, a little kitchen girl, added zest and humor to the production as played by the petite Grace Henderson. Katherine lefferis, Dorothy Lees, and Evelyn Huber, as three fair young maidens, and Roger North, William Gillam, and Donald DeLong, as three good-looking bachelor-lads, developed the love interest and showed what a good supporting cast can be like. With every play there arise many business problems. A dependable group of class members aided by Mr. Sudell tirelessly worked to overcome such difficulties. In ad- dition, the High School Orchestra under the direction of Miss Ptudderow, and the stage crew directed by Mr. Metzgar, must be re- membered for their cordial cooperation and support. The scene of the action in When Hearts are Young is laid in the living room at Hosemoor in Devonshire, England. Wil- loughby Spencer, in hiding because of threa- tened lawsuits by the fathers of the three girls to whom he became engaged during the Great War, finds himself in a predica- ment when the three girls arrive. They have left their luxurious homes and hired them- selves out as land girls to escape the publicity of their fathers' proposed lawsuits. With Willoughby are his three bachelor friends, comrades of the war days, who find enjoyment in the company of the girls. Com- plications ensuey but with the coming of Sylvia, Willoughby's lovely cousin, all ends well. Sylvia not only smooths out all troubles but even steals Willoughby's heart. So runs the story, and its dramatic success could not have been otherwise with so splendid a cast and director. SPORTS WW cu BML kLJ?X f X C - 1 it r mf j Ii . E 'E I W lb . A FootbaH ' In the first undefeated season in the school's history, the Garnet and Gray swept through its football schedule to come out Tri-County League Charn- pions for the second consecutive year. Although the squad failed to retain the coveted South lersey Championship, several of its members were awarded places on all-star teams. lim Flowers won the honorable position of halfback on the Group 2 All-State team and the Tri-County all-star list carried the names of Bill Ramel at center position, Flowers at the half-back post, and Mike Lennon in the key position as fullback. Lennon, the only member of the team who played four years on the varsity, also holds the record for the season's longest run among M. H. S. gridstersea 98 yards dash to a touch- down in the game against Trenton Cathedral. Seniors other than Co-captains Len- non and Flowers who will be lost by graduation are: Burt MacNicho1, versa- tile endy Howard Pfeiffer, driving half- backy Charley Campbell, a stone wall on the liney and Rollo Gilpin, the ora- torically inclined manager. . ill!! 11. . 5 R.

Led by Captain Marjorie Heck, they won three out of the nine games played, defeating Col- lingswood, Gloucester, and Moores- town. Merchantville tied four teams including: Paulsboro, Bridgeton, Audu- bon, and Haddon Heights, and lost but two, yielding to Woodbury and Had- donfield by the narrow margin of one point in each case. Betty Evans was high scorer with three goals. Evelyn Huber, Catherine Oakford, and Alwilda McLaughlin were runners-up with two goals apiece. Virginia Bateman com- pleted the team's score with one goal. The team owes its fine record of having only eight points chalked up against it to the courageous playing and co- operation ot the entire team along with the skill of the goalkeeper, Madeline Headley. Betty Evans and Evelyn Hu- ber, who made the varsity her fresh- man year, brought additional honors to Merchantville by making the all South Iersey Girls' Hockey Reserve Team. Through graduation M.

Girls' Basketball For the second consecutive year the girls' basketball team has won the West jersey League Championship. Led by their able co-captains, Evelyn Huber and Betty Evans, the girls won every league game with the exception of Audubon, whom they held to a 10- 10 tie. This year inaugurated a new type of court division in which two court basketball replaced the former three court style with three forwards and three guards composing the team of six. Among the forwards Evelyn Huber totaled E55 points, closely fol- lowed by Betty McKee with 60 points, while Margaret McHugh and Mary Oakford gained 43 and 31 points re- spectively. Marjorie Heck, Betty Evans and Evelyn Cinelli as the smooth-work- ing defense trio in the guard zone al- lowed our league opponents a total of only 105 points to Merchantvi11e's 215. The team will lose five players through graduation: the co-captains, Evelyn Hu- ber and Betty Evans: Lavetta Davis, Betty McKee, and Marjorie Heck. Evelyn Cinelli Lavetta Davis Myrtle H.

They played a long gruel- ling schedule of thirty-one games, twenty-six of which they won. The team distinguished itself by running off with the Tri-County League title for the third consecutive year and the South Iersey crown for the third straight year. Two of the team's outstanding players, Lennon and MacMahon, were placed on the All-Star Tri-County team, while the other three regulars achieved two all-star honors. The boys worked hard and entered the state semi-finals and in turn ad- vanced to the final round only to be nosed out by a stronger team 36-33. In this game, Co-captain Charles Lennon and lames Flowers, along with Ed Powell and Burt MacNicho1, saw their last action for the Garnet and Gray. The team owes its success to the fine coaching of Mr. Elder and his able assistant, Coach George Beery. The captains, Charles Lennon and Iames Flowers, displayed superior skill in holding down the positions of forwards. The pivot position went to Ed. Powell who always came through in the pinches. Mickey MacMahon and little Bobby Emerson exhibited noble work in breaking up the opponents' plays. Dec. lan. Feb. Mar. 63 Ft. D. Edler, Coach G. Bee-ry, Assistant I. I-1. Nekervis, Manager E. Budd C.

' League Games 64 Swimming The Merchantville Girls' Swimming Team appeared as a formidable con- tender in league competition this year as they won their first two league meets, defeating Audubon by twenty-six points and Haddon Heights by nine points. The three outstanding stars of the team, Captain Lavetta Davis, Betty Evans, and Majorie Heck, were the mainstays of the team, each being prominent in three fields, including free style, relay, and backstroke. Majorie Heck has been an especially outstanding swim- ming star, as she not only broke several league records but also accom- plished the feat of chalking up sixty-one points in the first four meets of the sea- son. Betty McKee, Helene Brickley, and Esther Rosenquist ably represented Merchantville in diving competition. Mildred Hanners, a letter girl from her freshman year, performed in the side- stroke. At the end of the season Mer- chantville held third place in the league, having totaled 118 points against l34 for their opponents for the entire season. Ruby A. Browning, Coach Myrtle H.

However, with the in- creasing male quota the introduction of track has been made possible. The team has been coached and developed by Harper Adams and George Clark, newcomers to the faculty. Because of the fact that the athletic field was not planned for such events, the squad has found it necessary to make the best of what they had. So far they have arranged for shot-putting, high-jumping, discus throwing, broad-jumping, and pole-vaulting. This ar- rangement ts largely temporary, and it is expected to be supplemented by regular equipment in time. The boys find the lack of a cinder path quite a handicap. In the only competition of note so far this season, the relay team made up of Iohn Riggs, Francis Connelly, Norman Figueroa, and Frank Coccia entered in the mile relay at the annual Penn Relay games. Consider- ing that this was their first attempt, they did remarkably well. The majority of those on the squad are underclassmen and will be together again next year. Golf With four veterans from last year, Coach Luther Metzgar has built up a fine golf team. The veterans: Al Druce, Leonard Easley, Norman Figueroa, and Al Reay, along with two newcomers, Bob Loughrey and Gordon Stroup, make up the first golf team to be recognized and organized by the school as a sport. Getting off to a flying start, they took the lead in their league by virtue of a 13 to 5 Victory over Audubon. This they followed up with 9Vz to 896 win over Collingswood to increase their lead somewhat. Rolling along in fine style, they next tripped Palmyra. The final score was ll to 7. The last match played before this book went to press was with Mt. Holly on the lron Rock Course. Here the outcome was the same as before- Merchantville won by a score of l3V2 to 4V2. As defending champions of the league, the team holds a perilous position. Therefore, we dare not make any prophecies as to their final standing. Next season will not find very much difference in the team's make-up, as Leonard Easley, captain, is the only mem- ber graduating this Iune. The Class of 1937 ADVISERS Pearl C. Kimes George E.
