It can’t be an unlucky thirteen any- way, for right at the head of the fac- ulty is Mr. McMullen. The best of sports and the jolliest of all good fel- lows. “Mac” always has the latest joke, and for general information— well, just ask him. And there is Leib! He doesn’t tower in height, but neither did Napoleon, and these two have much in common— leadership, force, and personality. A better chaperon for the Washington trip absolutely could not be found. Just who doesn’t like Math? And why shouldn’t they, with Mr. Thomp- son instructing it? He is full of clever ideas, the best being his new and suc- cessful plan of teaching without text- books. And besides coaching students for success, he also coaches athletic teams and Senior plays. We like Mr. Grim in a Big Way. He’s jolly, clever and such an imper- sonator! Have you ever seen Grim as “The Orchestra Leader?” He is keen. Miss Koch likes English; at least, she is leaving 0. H. S. to study some more of it—“way out in Ohio”— “round on the ends and “hi” in the middle”—but somehow we feel that Oxford will not be forgotten. One can never tell what a summer will bring forth! And her favorite flower is a mushroom. Miss McCrae! Miss McCrae! We re- peat it, because we like to, and because we like her. Her very name brings up delighted (?) visions of Latin, French, and—ever, yea, ever—“Quiet Class, now quiet!” It is the password and means our routine will seem only too quiet without this petite Madamoiselle. Everybody gives Mrs. Featherman a great big hand! We can only repeat what is said of her. Everyone likes her, everyone respects and loves to joke with her. We Seniors bow to her excellent coaching of our play. She is our weakness and who would think of the song “Where the shy little Violets grow” in connection with this favor- ite? Oxford High Loses! And this time, it is quite serious, because the loss is Mrs. Hayes Brown. .Mrs. Brown has i een the most capable instructor and coach of girls' athletics. We feel that hnr place will be hard to fill. Miss Kreiser came to us this year— and what a friend! Just ask the Fresh- man Latin Class or any Junior High English student. She is so very witty that we all took an instant liking to her. And can the little lady dance? Oui! Oui! Both Garretts and garnets are very precious to us. And Miss Garrett is the most precious' She puts music in the air and quite an individual air to our music. To say that she is successful :'i only a mild tribute to this teacher, who, honestly, would like to see us in “Sing-Sing”. Is there a time when Mr. Burt is not working in the laboratory, toiling faithfully over some scientific find? And when are not a dozen awe-struck Preps following him, hopeful of shar- ing some ingenious glory of science. Mrs. Ilartzler (nee Cooper), the best of Home Economic teachers, decided last Easter to put into practice what she preaches and be domesticated. Again, another’s gain is the students’ loss, but anyway—we wish you the best of luck in the new home at the Gap. The Blonde Goddess! We salute Miss Scothorne! She is the best reason for taking Art—here or anywhere. Com- bining humor, good fellowship, under- standing and “it” into one teacher was a good job, I mean. And now, we find that those adjec- tives preceding thirteen were untruth- ful. They aren’t terrible, they aren’t temperamental! They’re just Great! And we owe to them our backing for life, the greatest foundation. So with adieus, we’ll leave them to become more endeared by memory’s gentle touch!—ANNE AND STRICK, ’29 7 June, 1929 THE KERNEL 1929 Senior Class 1929 RALPH JOHNSTON GRIER Honor Roll, President Class II1-IV, Secretary Class 11.

Some may consider it as the workman does the whistle—“Phew—Work’s done!’’ Oth- ers, more considerate, recall the happy times spent in 0. H. S.; and although they are glad to have successfully at- tained that long-sought-for goal, feel a pang at leaving the times “that used to4 e. ” The last chapter of “Our High School Life” is about finished. All the events we have looked forward to for three years are over—except gradua- tion. Our Senior Play—and who does not always take pride in seeing “the best play yet given?”—is over. Most suc- cessfully it was given for two succes- sive nights, with a request for a third presentation. We, however, decided to decline this rpqwst for a third show- ing of “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Then comes the thrill of High School days—the Washington trip. We have always been in the background for three years, when the train carrying the Seniors departed for Washington. This year we had “the stage”—and felt especially honored that Mr. Mc- Mullen excused the school just to see us “off”. It was a most enjoyable trip—full of fun, interest, and blisters! Mr. Leib and Mrs. Featherman proved to be the best of sports and of chaperons. Of course, the year has not been made up just of such thrills—oh, yes— we have other thrills—Physics, Math., French, English, I . O. D., Latin. What? What? Yes—indeed, we have a very studious class. If you don’t be- lieve me just ask—no teacher in par- ticular. It won’t be long now until exams— then we will know just where we stand. Let’s hope it’s a good standing, Class! Really, I don’t know how the school will survive without us next year. It will be like a man minus the trains. Eh, wat? But anyway, undergrads, we wish you the best of luck after we leave; and also you “grads”—luck and lots of it—after we leave! To the faculty we wish to say “Merci, merci beaucoup”—for co-operating with us so tirelessly to help us obtain best re- sults from our High School session. Graduation claims us all, in time. Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, It now claims the class of twenty- nine, Farewell—to you—we send! FRANCES I). PASSMORE, ’29 FRESHMAN NOTES Something new and something green, In our midst may now be seen, Short and fat, and slim and tall, Just the Freshman, that is all. We, the Freshmen, are as proud as we can be of our class of 105. Why? Well, I’ll tell you. We are proud that our school won both the Hockey and Soccer championship, and we feel sure that if cheering alone won the game, we should now have the Basketball championship as well. Every home game this year had a fine turn out of “Preps”. We feel that our lungs have not lacked exercise. We have as a memory the great cel- ebration of the “greenies”, the Fresh- man Party. It was, in our opinion, a success, and everyone who was pres- ent will agree with this opinion. Aviation draws near and we Fresh- men have done our flying rapidly when it comes to lessons. Our English is marvelous (?), and you can close your eyes and almost think yourself back in old Rome, when it comes to Latin. We have covered more Algebra than we expected to, and have found it enjoyable. Civics and Ancient His- tory have been rather hard, but we think we have come through 0. K. We fear that in Science we shall never find the mechanical advantage of anything except a pulley. Altogether, we have had a fine term and we sincerely hope that next year will be as successful. ELIZABETH KELLY, ’.32 2 ! ••1HF. WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING CAST THE WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING’ Following the custom of presenting a Senior play to defray the expenses of the annual Washington trip, the Seniors of O. H. S', offered on the even- ings of March 27 and 28, the unique play entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking”, written by the well known authoress, Anita Loos. The Seniors are to be congratulated for the splendid manner in which they produced the three act farce—'and for adding to their account four hundred and seven- ty-five dollars. The play, a farce, was replete with clever dialogue, witty repartee, and in- triguing situations, it offered much chance for individualism with its cast of fifteen members. Each member did their best to make the play the great- est ever given; from numerous reports they succeeded, but being a Senior and member of the cast it is not for me to judge. The curtain rose on the family Jiv- ing room of the Simmons’ home. Erna Brown, as Mrs. Henry Simmon6, takes the part of a charming society mother who desires to have her daughter, Eth- el, marry a well-to-do. She shares this desire with her husband, Henry, (alias Kenneth Woodworth), who is quite the big paint manufacture of Sandusky. Her husband however, has a certain young bachelor bookkeeper in mind as a son-in-law, who does not come up exactly to Mrs. Simmons’ idea of a husband for her daughter. This young man’s part, that of Chester Binney, was enacted by Norman Strickland. It is to Strick that the Seniors owe considerable credit for making “the whole town talk”. Be- ginning with the role of a bashful youth and ending with that of a eon- querer and hero, he kept the entire audience in an uproar of laughter. The role of Ethel Simmons, a wilful young girl returning from school in Chicago, was taken most admirably by Frances Passmore. Roger Shields (Howard Dickinson) is Ethel’s big “catch” while in Chicago. He returns home 25 June, 1929 THE KERNEL with her and makes a big hit with Mrs. Simmons because he uses French that she (or no one else) can understand. To her, Ethel’s fiance must be that type. Mr. Simmons is not so impressed or is he to be depressed at Shields’ ap- pearance, for he fakes a love affair with a famous actress for Binney, hop- ing to make Ethel interested in this old-fashioned bachelor. Never dream- ing of seeing the actress, Binney car- ries out the plans made by Simmons; and shows to all the town letters and photographs inscribed with the words, “those happy, hectic Hollywood hours, Letty.” The plans work beautifully and Binney walks off with Shields’ girl as well as gaining the admiration of all the girls about town, including Ethel’s drams—Lila Wilson (Margaret Mearns), and Sally Otis (Oma Fae Van Pelt). But all this happiness is short lived for, unexpectedly, Binney’s act- ress, Lettv Lythe (Anne Gorman) comes to town and appears at the theatre, with her director, Donald Swift (Leroy Deaver). Swift, a jealous brute, threatens to kill Binney for ev- en looking at his Letty. The plot thick- ens with the appearance of a dancing instructor, Sadie Bloom (Nancy Ridg- ley), who has secretly had an affair with Simmons, merely over a twenty dollar hand-bag, as he terms it. Binney leads a “hectic” life, but everything ends happily after a desperate fight in the dark. The part of the maid, taken by Vida Edwards and that of a taxi driver by Joseph Leeke, added much to the humor of the play. “Joe” insisted on having that part because he claims to drive a taxi so efficiently. We can’t prove that but we do know he likes to ride in taxis—especially on Washing- ton trip—and how! Betty Burling as Mrs. Jackson, Dor- othy Cloud, and Margaret Eves as ex- tra girls surely did their bit to keep the whole town talking. Mrs. Albert Featherman, assisted by Mr. J. M. Thompson and Miss Esther Koch, were responsible for coaching the players and much success of the performance was due to their untiring efforts. “Reds” Grier, the Senior president, had charge of the stage, who, with the able assistance of Dick Oswald (’28), James Lund (’30) and Bill Bailey (’29), made it most attractive. They spared no time or labor to make the setting perfect. “Dick” has always been interested in stage work and has assisted in every Senior play since his own days at O. II. S. We wonder if Dick didn't miss his calling by clerk- ing at Winchesters. Huh, Dick! The Seniors of 1929 challenge any class to produce a play that will leave such a reputation as “The Whole Town’s Talking.” PLAY CAST BANQUET Celebrating the success of the Sen- ior Class play, “The Whole Town’s Talking,” the members of the cast were given a banquet on Thursday evening, May 17th, at the “Green Bar- rot.” The fifteen members of the cast and their guests arrived at the restaurant at nine o’clock to find it very prettily decorated in the class colors, purple and gold. A most delicious chicken dinner was served, after which Mr. Thompson, acting as toastmaster, called on several members of the cast to speak. Much was said of the lovely manner in which Mr. Miller had prepared the banquet and still others told of incidents be- hind stage on the nights of the play. Jimmie Lund declared he saved Letty Lythe’s and Sally Otis’s voices with lemon on the last night of the perform- ance—at least he and Bill Bailey did their best. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. At eleven thirty the guests left, declaring the banquet to be one of the real treats of the year. More: Is that Burns from Hot Springs or that little squirt from Orange? Less: Dunno, when he registered he gave a Gettysburg address. 26 i COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES “Commercials”, that’s what we call ourselves 'and it’s just the name we, once and for all time, intend to honor and revere. When Old Father Time, his beard grown longer still, rolls another year into the vast eternity, we know the “Commercial Club” of 11)2!) and those happy days when we are Seniors are gone forever. Yet, why think of the sad things of life, why not be “L’Allegro”! The Commercials have made won- derful progress during the past year, especially most of the Seniors in Shorthand and Typewriting. Awards have been given to every Senior in Typewriting. Eleanor Magaw, Lillian Strickland, and Kenneth Woodworth have been awarded silver pins, while Blanche Ramsey and Ethel Hilton have won bronze pins. In Shorthand the Seniors have been “Steppin’ ” also. A great many of us have passed the sixty word per minute test, while those of exceptional ability have passed the eighty and the one hundred word per minute test. Blanche Ramsey, the eighty word, and Eleanor Magaw the one hundred word test. Many Juniors have been given awards, too. Esther Davis seems to be leading them; she has been awarded a silver pin for writing at the rate of forty words per minute. The Officers of the Commercial Club of 1929 are as follows: President ...... Eleanor Magaw Vice-President .. LeRoy Deaver Secretary ...... Blanche Ramsey Treasurer ...... Ruth Blackburn We have progressed so well that we have a “Real Club Song” this year. It is sung to the tune of “Ramona”, and the words are as follows: Commercials, We form the Club that is tip-top, Commercials, Where’re we go you’ll see the grit we’ve got, We’re steady, we’re hearty— 27 June, 1929 THE KERNEL We strive for a goal that’s farther ahead; Seniors and Juniors of which the best can ever he said; Commercials, We’ll ere revere Old Oxford High, Commercials, Let’s form a spirit that’ll never die, When all are gone may honored memories linger on; Commercials, Be worthy, be strong! On February 11, 1929, in the Audi- torium of the Oxford High School, we gave an annual Literary Meeting. The program was rendered by the Chd members. With us, as honored guests, were Downingtown and Kennett Square High School Commercial Clubs. Refreshments of cocoa, cake, and mints were served to the multitude. We charged the small sum of ten cents ad- mission, which gave us proceeds of about nineteen dollars. At the Octoraro Hotel, Oxford, Pa., we held our Annual Banquet, February 22, 1929. Everyone was given favors of small flags in the form of pins, hats, programs, and logs, to represent the cherry tree of George Washington, with axe attached. The menu was ex- cellent. Toastmaster Richard Hoen- ninger kept the guests laughing with his jests. Toasts were also given by ex- President Mary Slauch of New York City, and a speech of welcome by our present President, Eleanor Magaw. Mr. Jackson of Beacom College, gave us a very interesting talk on “Success”. Dancing was then the feature of the evening. Everyone adjourned at a reasonable hour, declaring “They thor- oughly enjoyed themselves.” Guests were present from Belair, Md., New York City, Wilmington, and Oxford, totalling about seventy-two in all. We have decided to hold a social event, in the form of a picnic, which is in charge of Bernice Johnson and Ruth Blackburn. The Gregg Writer offered prizes for the best ten Business Letters, sent to them before January 30; this was a world wide contest. Only two partici- pated from Oxford. A prize of five dol- lars was awarded to Margaret Triplett and Ethel Hilton won Honorable Men- tion. We will now say good-bye to Old O. H. S., the School we have loved and will always love; the Club and our Honorary President, Mrs. Featherman, who does all in her power to help us to become accurate, efficient and a wonderful success in the business world. No one knows her charming personality better than we who come in contact with her in the Class-room and school activities every day. To the undergraduates, we as Sen- iors. bequeath the worn out typing ribbons and the memory of our charm- ing personalities. We also leave you our greatest hopes for success in school work. We hope to show our appreciation of Mrs. Featherman’s instructions and all her good work by making a name which will bring pride at its being mentioned, so that she can say that she was our instructor at 0. II. S. And to you, dear readers, we say “Au Revoir”, but perhaps we will say “Hello” in the business world, some- time. ETHEL HILTON, '29 Teacher: Make a sentence with “Senior Play” in it. Boob Hoffman: I can, teacher. Teacher: What is it, Boob?” Boob: I Senior play baseball last night. • « Vice: What do you do for a living? Versa: I paint. More Vice: Paint what? More Versa: Easter Eggs. • • • Physics Class—Mr. Leib explaining effect of electric charge on body:— Bill Baily: Is it so that some people’s bodies carry negative charge while others have positive ones? Mr. Leib: I can’t say Bill, but it ap- pears that all boys around here have negative charge and girls a positive one—there’s a mutual attraction. 28 THE KERNEL June, 1929 EDITORIAL With Commencement, the real living of life begins. Like the B. C. and A. D. of Time, our life dates from Com- mencement. Until this time, we have been molding a foundation alone. A foundation of knowledge on which we are to build our temple of life. Our deeds shall form the walls of this tem- ple. It is we, we with whom the de- cision of making those walls of clay or of marble lies. The clay crumbles with us; the marble lives and shines—for Eternity. The clay symbolizes our mere ability to follow—the marble, our more precious gift of leadership. Within each of us is one spark of individuality. It is our duty, both to ourselves who have, and to our Maker, who gave—to fan this spark into a flame, a fire of conquest. Conquest of the right! If we do this, it will live, always, an ember in history; and when history embraces a man he lives, along with his deeds. School gives us opportunity to try for this goal in several definite ways. There is writing; there is speech. Both are portals in the halls of self-expres- sion. No matter which of these is chosen, when you succeed in one, there are followers who will translate it to the other. Thought is given mankind, then opportunity for exercising that thought, and lastly—thought becomes experience which develops into his- tory. For future history, it is we, the youth of the world, who shall compete in the cycle of thought—expression that will result in the standard of goals and living for future gener- ations. We are in debt to those men and women who have lived in the past, whose memory and whose deeds can never be dimmed by time. In times past, they made sacrifices and contribu- tions that resulted in our comfort and rate of intelligence now. The}7 gave their bit to the world, they have earn- ed their rest and are expectantly sit- ting back—watching their successors. It is our work to insert “worthy” be- fore “successors”. School is a workshop wherein we are given the tools with which to build our temple of deserved remembrance. The crude marble, Education, is given us, to chisel out our portion with our hammer of Ambition. The model which is held up to us, to pattern after, is our own American Hag of Ideals. This has led the nation as a whole and its peo- ple as individuals to become foremost in the entire world. With skilled in- structors to guide him, the workman overcomes the flaws of Temptation and when his clay is done, he shall look back on a white marble tower of char- acter, gleaming with truthfulness, re- maining through the ages as a reward for his valor; being an example to the coming youth, and ever casting a light ahead—to a more gleaming goal.

Never try to be popular, but try only to do your duty, and help others to do theirs. Thus you may leave the tone of feeling in the school higher than when you found it; so be doing good, which no living sou', can measure, to generation of countrymen, yet unborn. It is true, absolutely true. We can find evidence of it right here at 0. H. S., strong evidence. Just look about you. We have a group of fellows and girls who get out and work, who are enthusiastic boosters of the school—a group which is interested in its needs, who shoulder its responsibilities, and in all enjoy its sports and pleasures. This is the group that constitutes our leaders, class officers, athletic man- agers. Unconsciously we recognize them and make them our leaders. Their opposites, who look upon O. II. S. only as a school, a place to go to from 9:00 A. M. to 4:00 I . M.; never- theless, come in for their share of any glory that may have been earned. But as to doing the earning, they haven’t learned, don’t seem to care, appear un- interested in trying to earn the joy of doing. It is they, who, when a class meeting is called, attend, vote, object when they have reason, suggest when fit, that make the great progress for O. II. S. The others may go to the meeting and sit there, paying no attention to the proceedings because it seems the custom to do so. As for getting up and expressing an opinion it is entirely out of the question. Later, these same ones shout the loudest if something goes wrong. Don’t be like that! Don’t be a drift- er. If you can’t boost, don’t knock, but go out and create something worth while. Engage in the student activities of your school. Help O. II. S. to become better and greater by your efforts. Fight, cheer and boost for 0. II. S. Make her proud of you as you are proud of her! ANNE GORMAN, ’29 WASHINGTON Now we re entitled to a rest And everything that’s for the best; The teachers ought to treat us nice And not ask a question over twice, There wasn’t a moment that was dull Because we went to see the Capitol. We left Oxford at ten o’clock And at Washington we did dock, With fine spirits and bags of clothes We came to put the city on its toes The bus was ready to take us in For we wanted action and plenty of vim, Because we came to see the Capitol. At the Hotel Colonial we sure ate All the courses, they were great; At night we didn’t sleep at all Because we thought of the Capitol; After breakfast we did take Three new busses of Washington’s make, With hearts a’beating and noise all around We sure looked happy and all spell- bound. The routine was great from day to day At night we sure did hit the liay; When morning came and with it light We Seniors didn’t look so bright; The busses were ready to take us home As we tried to stiffle a well-earned groan, The Capitol was left behind in the dust, But don’t you think we didn’t cuss. With the memory of Washington in the past And our dogs, they weren’t so very fast; We arrived at home to tell our tales Of what we didn’t put in mails, We shan’t forget the old Hotel That nearly came to giving us------ KENNETH WOODWORTH, ’29 30 THE KERNEL June, 1929 THE WASHINGTON TRIP When the labor of twelve years’ study can be repaid with interest by a three-days’ trip to Washington, you have a vague conception of the great time we Seniors had. because we were the laborers and we were repaid. Together, with Unionville, Kennett Square, West Grove, and New London Seniors, forty of the Oxfordians left •n the special 11:32 train, April 24th. With us, as guests of honor, we en- tertained Mrs. Albert Featherman and Mr. C. W. Leib, of the Oxford High School Faculty. We arrived at 2:15 in our Capitol. The afternoon was spent in sight see- ing busses, and Lon Chaney had noth- ing on some of the students who liken- ed themselves into pretzels to see the tops of some buildings. We later vis- ited Lincoln Memorial, the most beau- tiful sight, the Pan-American Building and the Corcoran Art Building. We finished the day at the Colonial Hotel, where we became pugilistic and licked stamps for a few hours. The first part of the evening was spent in view- ing the massive Congressional Library and later in viewing “Broadway Mel- ody’’, a great show. The rest of the night was spent in making whoopee. After an 8:30 breakfast, the busses took us to Washington’s Monument. Then to the most interesting subject. The Bureau of Printing and Engrav- ing. Every bit of work held our inter- est there. The White House was next honored by our presence. It is too gorgeous to be comfortable. The afternoon was spent in the de- lightful trip to Arlington Cemetery, the Unknown Soldiers’ Grave, the Ampitheatre, where a very short but accurate dialogue from our Senior play was given by Miss Lythe and Mr. Binney, and lastly, to Mount Vernon, where for three hours we wandered over the picturesque site. At five, the Steamer bearing us, left to journey up the Potomac to Washington. The trip was both refreshing and delightful. The evening was at our own pleas- ure. “Coquette’’ with Helen Ilayes, “Speakeasy” and “Show Boat” were some of the theatricals witnessed by the group. And so to bed. After our last breakfast we left for the Capitol, the Freer Arts Building, and The Smithsonian Institute. Follow- ing a hurried dinner and shopping tour, we “bussedr’ to the station, where we took a train without being nabbed for theft. Tired, happy, but sorrowful, because of the journey’s end, we arrived safe, and sound, and how, in Oxford. Sen- iors may have as good a time, but no group could ever have a better time than the time we had in Washington. D. C. NORMAN STRICKLAND, ’29 FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen or “Preps” are al- ways an object for discussion and rid- icule by the upper classes. By the end of the first few weeks, they are fairly well known; but the real display of their talent and class spirit is shown in the Freshman Party. This year’s party was held in the new gym which was appropriately decorated with corn fodder and black and orange paper. It was exclusively for High and Grammar School pupils, but over two hundred masqueraders enjoyed the dancing and good time. The Lincoln University Orchestra provided the music. Prizes were given to those having cutest aud oddest costumes. After the serving of refresh- ments a few more dances terminated the evening’s enjoyment. The building was entirely vacated at a very judic- ious hour. FRANK RIDGLEY, 32 Strick: Who’s this girl Logarithm? I hear so much about? Oma Fae: Oh. she’s a good number. • • He thought he was a big gun—so they fired him. • Parting Advice: Put a little water on the comb. 31 THE KERNEL June, 1929 JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Here we are, the Class of ’30, to greet our Kernel readers once again. Another year has rolled around. Rea- lizing we are beginning to near the goal toward which we started three years ago, we have not been idle this year. Several class meetings finally brought the decision for, our class rings, with which we are all pleased, and which have been greatly admired. Everyone is looking forward to the Junior Prom, which, we hope, will mean a good time for all and a pleas- ant farewell party to the Seniors. The Basketball and the Baseball teams have had a number of players from our class, of whom we are all proud. We are also proud of representation on the Debating team. The Junior class holds the honor of having six of the eight debaters on the teams. They are John Gibson, Thomas Gillingham, Beatrice Wig, Loretta Iloenninger, John Heiney, and Marcia'Kelly. In English, under the faithful direc- tion of Miss Koch, we have been read- ing several very fascinating dramas. Our Plane Geometry class has been exceptionally interesting for, by the aid of our note books, we have accom- plished our work without the assist- ance of a text book. Mr. Thompson has been very successful in teaching our class with this modern method. Our Commercial students are prog- ressing rapidly and like their work. Many of them have been awarded typing certificates and pins. Esther Davis holds the typing record for speed. The Physics class, under Mr. Leib’s supervision, is struggling to learn “What it’s all about.” Many of us are studying (1) the French language under the direction of Madamioselle McCrea. We, the Junior Class, wish to say “Farewell and Good Luck” to the Sen- iors of ’29. We are very sorry to have you leave us, but we are glad with you that you have attained the goal for which you have worked so hard. May success be with each of you. Next year, as Seniors of O. II. S. we hope to meet you, Kernel readers. We also hope to make our Alma Mater as proud of the Class of ’30 as it has been of all the former classes. CLARA E. GALLAIIER SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The Sophomore class is rejoicing in the fact that nearly half of our High School days are past, but the Seniors tell us they are not so glad to see the end of this school year come. Although we gladly look forward to vacation we have been doing good work throughout the year. Our teachers have been very much interested in us and we will be very sorry to lose some of them. Miss Kocii and Miss McCrea have made English and Latin enjoyable for us. History is also coming along well un- der Mr. Grim’s varied methods of teaching. The Sophomores are fast learning the secrets of mathematics by Mr. Thompson’s method of group work and his supervised study periods. We all like Biology. Who could help lik- ing it with Mr. Leib’s clear and in- teresting way of teaching? The book- keeping students are progressing un- der the guidance of Mrs. Featherman. In gym class this spring, Mrs. Brown has been teaching us to play tennis, which we all enjoy. Adrienne Hall and Harry Grier, members of the Sophomore Class, are on the O. II. S. debating team which has won two debates this year. The Sophomores took part in the inter-class field meet, but the results of the meet have not yet been announc- ed. We wish to say good-bye to tbt Sen- iors. our sister class, and hope you will always be happy and successful thru life.

Marshall Thompson Director of Athletics With the closing of the doors of Ox- ford Hip'll, this spring, will come the end of an outstanding year in her ath- letic history. The boys who played and fought on the fields, basketball court, and diamond, have set a high mark for her future athletes with their magnif- icent team work. With fresh vigor for a new year they entered the soccer season and with a hard earned smile of satisfac- tion finished it—Chester County Cham- pions. Not only can they present a list of six league victories and a tied game as evidence of their labors but also, as a team, have the honor of showing a slate clear of their opponents’ field goals. In only one league game, 'Ken- nett High, did they taste defeat and here saw their opponents’ two points ga'ned through goal kicks. A record, indeed—and one of which to he proud. Three practice games were played, one with Calvert High and two with Beacom College of Wilmington. On the local field the Maroon and White boys defeated their older and better experienced Beaeom opponents but met a setback when they travelled to Wilmington. Their admirable playing in the league, however, gained well- earned praise for themselves and un- precedented glory for their school. Members of O. II. S. will not soon for- get the work of these boys. The fol- lowing, under the admirable and high- ly appreciated coaching of Mr. J. Marshall Thompson have contributed to the excellent results of the past soc- cer season: Dickinson, (Capt.); Bailey, (Mgr.); Kelly, Leeke, Coates, Scott, Woodworth, 11. Grier, Jamison, Gill- ingham. Goldey, Moliler, and Wilson. With the curtains drawn across the athletic stage for a slight intermission after the soccer season eyes and hearts turned to the basketball court where, as training began, Coach Grim found a host of new material awaiting him. From these boys, many with previous years’ experience, a splendid team was developed—one that was to offer powerful competition to the other teams of the league. To prove their mettle, the team started off with seven straight victor- ies hut had less luck on foreign fields —bowing once each to Parkesburg, I’nionville, Pennsylvania Business Col- lege, Downingtown, and Phoenixville. Only one game was lost on the local floor, the season’s last—Parkesburg High—which fact speaks admirably well for the willing support given the team by the local fans. At the close of the season, the team travelled to Berwyn to participate in the Basket- I all Tournament there against Coates- ville. Although Scott scored nineteen points and incidentally the largest number in the tournament, the team’s foul shooting fell short and the final score gave Coatesville the victory. The team work was so great a feature of everyone of the games in which the Maroon and White dribblers partici- pated that it is practically impossible to select any individual and credit him above his team-mates for his work. Several boys, although having many less goals to their credit than others on the team played their positions so well and were so vital a part of the O. II. S. combination that credit must be equally awarded to them as to the high scorers. Dickinson, Scott, Leeke and Jamison participated in each of the season’s eighteen games, while “Reds” Grier missed but one. The other boys on the squad: Wilson, Goldey, Coates, Gill- ingham, Watterson and Keilholtz, played actively and in several in- stances brought their team a great number of points. Scott proved high scorer, gaining one hundred nineteen points in league games, which won him second place among the county scorers. The season, as a whole, resulted in eleven victories and seven defeats, none of which were results of discour- aging or uninteresting games. The boys who have so contributed to this fine work for their school may well feel that neither their own efforts nor those of their Coach have gone by un- noticed by members of Oxford High. THE KERNEL June, 1929 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Our first Assembly day happened to be the 293rd anniversary of the Mass- achusetts Colony for the religious freedom. The result was a talk on Reli- gious Toleration by Rev. Russell. The next week, something was evi- dently missing, for the records are blank. Then came the Commercial Club’s Play, and, the following week, the Armistice Day Program. In national book w'eek, the Book Lovers’ Club had charge of the As- sembly. November 23, Mr. Frank Brown gave the School an interesting talk on “Works of the Red Cross” and War songs were sung to show our appreci- ation. The Thanksgiving program was un- der Miss Armstrong’s direction. The students of the eighth grade panto- mined a scene of Pilgrim’s life about the time of the first Thanksgiving. The program for December 7, was an illustrated lecture on the Holy Land by Professor Wright of Lincoln Uni- versity, which was very interesting. Christmas was coming and the next two programs, under the direction of Miss Garrett, were filled with rejoicing and song. Mr. Miller of Coatesville Y. M. C. A., blew into Oxford after Christmas vaca- tion, talked to the students of Oxford High, and blew away again as non- chalantly as the Murad smokers, and by that time, we were ready for the Senior Class Program, directed by Miss Koch. The Thrift Week Program came next and then Mrs. Johnson, a Lin- coln University representative of the Oxford Ladies’ Research Club, spoke to us on “Rambling Through Eur- ope.” She proved so interesting, that we all went with her—in imagination. Mr. Burt's Aviation Club program made everybody want to sprout wings —even Allan Mackey. Mr. Thompson had charge of the Lincoln and Edison Program. Mr. Grimm’s famous History classes cele- brated Washington’s Birthday. It was quite original and a huge success! It was given in the form of a guessing contest, to prove how much (or how little) the Student Body knew. The Junior Class program which was to follow, was postponed until later—and so we sang, tra-la! Next week, we had a very sweet talk on bees by Dr. Schmuker. He be- came so interested in his story that he Hitted all over the stage after his love- ly nasturtium, making the whole thing so realistic that we nearly got stung. The next week we sang again. You might think we could sing from the time we spend doing it! Mr. Leib’s scientific program was booked for the following Friday, but the Einstein Theory had been argued to rags and still nobody knew what it was all about! Consequently, we had pictures of cows and ice cream the next Tuesday. Charles T. contends it was the best program we’ve had this year. The next Friday we did sing! Dr. Houseknecht led us and we all contri- buted our hearts to make it sound better. It did! (Even if Grimmy does- n’t think the Doctor knows what a cave-man is)!! Then came the Sophomore’s pro- gram. On April 12, we bad the pleasure of hearing a talk on Child Labor. The speaker was a representative of the Child Welfare Association, Philadel- phia. The Decorative Club, under the di- rection of Miss Cooper, gave a play in which a cow took the leading part— she led them off the stage. Friday, April 26, the Seniors were in Washington, and the rest of us had a Study period. This turned out to be a forced necessity for some of us. Mrs. Featherman: Have you had any stage experience? Kenneth Woodworth: No, but I had my leg in a cast once. • • • A Certain Young Man: I believe I've met you some place before. Fanny Mac: I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve been places. 33 THE KERNEL June, 1929 ALUMNI ECHOES Saturday evening, March 30, 1929, witnessed the forty-ninth Alumni ban- quet and reunion of former 0. H. S. members. The old gym, or the dining hall, was tastefully and carefully decorated in the pastel shades of the rainbow. The new gym served as the ballroom for the evening, and was decorated with the same color scheme. Four large tables, dotted with purple and white potted hyacinths, accommo- dated the guests. A lovely chicken supper was served by the ladies of the Home and School League. After the supper, toasts were given. Mr. Albert Featherman, Class of 1916, presided as toastmaster. Toasts were then given by the fol- lowing: Miss Grace Kelly of the Class of 1924; Mr. Ralph Grier, Class of 1929; a violin solo by Mr. Richard Hoenninger, Class of 1928; Mrs. M. L. McCullough, Class of 1896; Miss Mar- garet Brinton, Class of 1927; and a vocal solo by Mrs. Hazel J. Mclntire, Class of 1910. Next on the evening’s program was the dancing. The music for this was furnished by the famous Potts’ Or- chestra. The Alumni banquet being held at Eastertide, brought back some former graduates of the 0. II. S., and with them came the memory of those who have left their names to go down in the history of the 0. II. S. Grace Kelly of ’24. Miss Kelly not only did splendid work during her high school career, but afterwards as well. Today, she is known as Dr. Kelly, one of Oxford’s leading opticians. Helen Kirk, also of the class of ’24, is a member of the Kennett High School factulty. Miss Kirk is a teacher in the Commercial Department of that school. Leslie Gallagher of ’28. Mr. Galla- gher is now holding a responsible po- sition in one of our large banks. Wells Van Pelt of ’28. Mr. Van Pelt, alias “Sonny”, holds the imposing office of Vice President of the Fresh- man Class at Columbia University. Olive Boyd, Class of ‘27. Olive was so well liked at the O. II. S. that you ean find her at any time in the office. Miss Boyd not only does office work but assists Mrs. Featherman in the Commercial Department. Catherine Babb of '28. Miss Babb is doing splendid work at Irving College. Bruce Stallard of ’27. Mr. Stallard is completing his second year at Tem- ple University, and is doing fine work. John McCullough of 1920. Mr. McCullough has made a name for him- self in the field of journalism. Kathryn Barry of ’22. Miss Barry has been instructor in the Unionville School for the last three years. Her charming manner has won her a place in the hearts of her students as well as her friends. Gertrude Walton of ’26. Miss Wal- ton is at the end of her school career. She will graduate this June from Goucher College. Margaret Brinton, ’27. Miss Brinton is continuing her scholastic work at Swarthmore College. She is active in all fields and especially in journalism. Haines Kirk, ’26. “Kirky” is quite a young man about town. Very hard- working—in fact, starts out upon his bread route as early as seven o’clock ui the morning. Katherine Leeke of ’27. Miss Leeke, otherwise, our “Kifty”, has become one of Oxford’s young business wom- en. She took the opportunity to get a business education and now she is making her own way. Chester Passmore of ’26. Mr. Pass- more or “Chet’’, is contimrng along dramatic lines as a member of the “Mask and Wig” Club of Penn Uni- versity. Here’s to you, Chet! Gilbert Kelly of ’26. Mr Kelly is holding his own at Wesleyan, and has lately been made a member of the “Mystical Seven.” These are only a few of our old friends, but as we are unable to record the success made by them all we will just say t! at we are wishing them luck, success and happiness; also tiat thev will never be forgotten. E. BROWN, ’29 35 THE KERNEL June, 1929 HOME AND SCHOOL LEAGUE The Horae and School League is an Institution primarily founded to bring into closer touch the Home and the School through the vital link—the Child. It is worthy of the earnest support of every portion of the school. President......Mrs. L. W. Collins 1st Vice-Pres. Mrs. C. C. Campbell 2nd Vice-Pres. Mr. J. W. McMullen Secretary...... Miss Viella Stafford Treasurer .... Mrs. E. L. Anderson Some of the year’s activities: Re- ception for the Teachers in September. In October the County and Local Pres- idents attended the 13th annual State Convention in Easton, bringing back reports to the Fall County Convention at North Coventry Consolidated and to the local League. This same month the League sponsored an organized Hallowe'en Parade. November opened the splendid course of Lectures given by Prof. F. II. Gaige, State Teachers’ College, Mill- ersville, Pa. This course was put on primarily for the High School students and quite a few attended, but not as much appreciation was shown for these most excellent studies in history as the League had hoped. These lectures were completed in January. At our February meeting, Mr. Alexander, rep- resenting “Fox Educational Films , stressing visual education, entertained us. The March “Health Meeting’’ was conducted by the Community Nurse, Association. The relationship between Education and Health was stressed by Mrs. Baldwin and the part and co-operation with the League and School activities clearly shown. In March, too, the League for the fifth time served the Alumni Banquet. At our April meeting we heard the re- ports of the Spring Convention held at Parkesburg, from our delegates, Mrs. Hazel Melntire and Miss Viella Staf- ford. Rev. Yeoman of Nottingham, gave a most inspiring and helpful ad- dress. The most outstanding activity of this meeting was the unanimous vote taken to establish by the Home and School League a “Scholarship Fund’’, by which deserving students may be aided. Parents: Youth must have a life pro- gram as well as a life job. Too soon the time comes when we stand with our children on the border of the promised land. The man and the wom- an arrive. “We shall not lose faith in our children if we hold fast to our faith in God.’’ The Cafeteria is no small part of the Home and School activities—as parent, teacher and pupil testify. Quoting n teacher: “It has helped solve our noon tide problem’’; A parent: “One of the greatest institutions of the school— one that functions regularly and effi- ciently, filling a long felt need”; A child: “1 wish it would rain often so I could have my lunch at school; Mrs. Cox gives us such good things.’’ Three cheers for Mrs. Cox! MARGARET G. COLLINS, Pres. Betty: Ooo! How nice to be an avia- tor ! Scotty: Yeah, want fly? Betty: Oh, you bet I do. Scotty: All right, just a minute; I’ll catch you one. Strick: How did you get that blue mark on your neck? Ada: Very pleasantly. Miss McCrae: Don’t you think the flaming youth type of student is passing? Mr. Leib: No, flunking. Mr. Grimm: Late again, as usual! Marcia Kelly: Yes, professor, but an absolutely new reason. � Harold B.: So you wear spats. Wilbur R.: No, that’s my long un- derwear. First Old Maid: Mary, there’s some one in this room ! Second Old Maid: Only a mouse. Mary, only a mouse! F'irst Oid Maid: Well, tell him to get out from under my bed. His snor- ing bothers me. 37 FRENCH CLUB DECORATIVE CLUB THE DECORATIVE CLUB The Decorative Club was organized for the purpose of creating a greater desire for home decoration. The Club meets every Wednesday, under the di- rection of Mrs. JIartzler, formerly Miss Cooper. The membership totals nearly fifty Juniors and Senior High School students. Each member is re- sponsible for some form of decorative work which must be done in Club per- iod. This is the first year for the Club, -nd so far it liars been a great success. The Club won first prize of $1 at the State Exhibition at West Chester for the best form of home decoration. The Club took charge of one Assem- bly period and gave a play, “The Rag Carpet Bee”. The Club was represented at the Play Festival with a completely furn- ished bedroom. The officers are: President .......... Vida Edwards Vice-Presidents .... Julia Goldey Secretary ......... Betty Walker Treasurer .......... Jean Ridgley VIDA EDWARDS, ’30 0. H. S. LIBRARY The new library of the O. H. S. oc- cupies the room which was formerly the old office. It is very attractively furnished. There are approximately nine hun- dred volumes in the library, including Fiction, English Composition and Rhetoric, Industrial Arts, Science, Ed- ucation, History, Mathematics, Refer- ence Books, and Current Magazines. The School Board recently donated one hundred and fifty volumes, which have been greatly appreciated by the students. The hours of the library are from 8:30 A. M. to 4:00 P. M. The library is in charge of: Mary Barretta, Miriam Black, Frances Ileesters, Winona Wal- ters, Joseph Wilkinson, and Laura Brown, under the supervision of Miss Thelma Kreiser.— M. B. 39 THE KERNEL J une, 1929 EIGHTH GRADE NOTES Well, here we are, pupils, in the new Junior High School. We claim to be the first Eighth with a class of forty-eight, and taking us as a whole, we are a rather lively hunch. Our first class meeting was held in September, when the following officers were elected: President ...... Wynona England Vice-President ... Spencer Andress Secretary ................... Betty 'Kent Treasurer ............ Muriel Boyd We have endeavored to promote Civic pride by aiding in the sale of tickets for benefits of our New Club House, Chautauqua tickets, etc.; and at Thanksgiving time we sent six beautifully decorated baskets filled with all things suitable for a good dinner, to the less fortunate homes of Oxford. We received many letters of thanks for our kindness. We do not wish to appear conceited, but we feel that we are generous, at least, judging by the comments and criticisms broadcasted over the grapevine telephone of Ma- dame Rumor. At the first of the year we realized that we were the joke of our upper classmates and teachers; but now we have settled down to a somewhat quiet routine of work, for we begin to hum the “Prisoner’s Song” when “Reds” Grier walks into the room, the second period every afternoon. As our class is talented in managing things (?) we were given the responsi- bility of collecting money fer the new set of Encyclopedia for our school. We collected more money than was need- ed, and will therefore buy other books. The girls may have interests outside of our class, but we have found time to at least tie for the championship in Oxford High basket-ball. The boys didn’t stop at a tie but left the others far behind. Ask the 9th graders, they know! We all enjoy our classes this year, even more than we did last year. Of course, everyone takes Civics, and we find it most interesting and enjoyable. We also have a Civics Club with fifty-two members. Dorrine Wig is President. We meet the last period on Thursday morning and find it very in- structive, as we bring in current event topics of the day, thus keeping in direct touch with our own country and the world at large. Some are sailing through Geography with Miss Kennard as our good pilot, and many of us bravely wading thru Arithmetic, vainly trying to keep our heads above water, and floundering hopelessly on the slippery rocks of Bank discount, square root, etc., al- though Miss Armstrong is doing her best by us. If you are ever in doubt as to the personal pronouns in neuter gender, we refer you to Miss Krieser, our teacher, and Clinton Webster, her most intelligent pupil. Well, happy vacation everyone, and good-bve 'till next term. WYNONA ENGLAND, ’33 SEVENTH GRADE NOTES When school opened last September our grade became a part of the newly organized Junior High School. It was a very new experience for us, but now when the term is almost finished, we can say that we have enjoyed our work. In September our class was organ- ized and these officers elected: President .......... Max Walton Vice-President ............ Julia Goldey Secretary ........ Mildred Ewing Treasurer .. Lawrence Hornberger We took part in the Hallowe’en Parade and won the second prize, which was three dollars. We have given two plays in Assem- bly. They were “The First Thanks- giving Council” and “Marching Home.” In the Athletic Contest between the Seventh and the Eighth Grades we de- feated our opponents and therefore won the banner. We are now looking forward to the final examinations and hoping we will all be in Eighth Grade next year. MAX WALTON 41 DRAMATIC CLUB ACE OF Among the new clubs organized this past year, was that of the dramatic club. There has been a great need for several years of such a club and now the hopes have been realized, much through the efforts of the Senior mem- bers. The purpose of the club is na- turally to promote dramatics, which has taken a large part in school activ- ities. The first meeting was called in Oc- tober, 1928, at which time forty-five members were enrolled, officers elected and a constitution drawn up. The of- ficers elected were: President.........Anne Gorman, ’29 Vice .President .... Wm. Baily, '29 Secretary ......... Ralph Grier, '29 Treasurer .. Howard Dickinson ’29 Much study has been given to one act plays; several have been given both in the club and in assembly. The history of drama and the lives of noted dramatists have been reported on in a most interesting manner. Miss Koch, CLUBS the Senior adviser, has been especially kind in helping us study and under- stand the technique of acting. She has given many brief speeches on such subjects before the club. It is to the sorrow of the Ace of Clubs that they must lose such a valuable friend and adviser. It may be interesting to the reader to know just how the name happened to be given to the club. When sug- gestions for names were called for, some ten or twelve were submitted. These were voted upon and the “Ace of Clubs” won. This name was contri- buted by that clever little member, Roger Kirk. '21. The Ace of Clubs entered the tourna- ment of plays given at Kenuett Square on week of March 21. They were the youngest entrants and competed with Avon Players, Lincoln Mask and Wig. Kennett Players. The one act play en- titled “Where But in America” was presented. DEBATING TEAMS HONOR GROUP DEBATING NEWS In the annual season of the Ursinus College Debating League, the Oxford High School Debating Team has been unusually successful. The question for debate was: “Resolved, That the pres- ent jury system should be abolished.” There were two teams selected, affirm- ative and negative. The affirmative team consisted of Beatrice Wig, Harry Grier, and Thomas Gillingham, with Adrienne Hall as alternate. The nega- tive team consisted of Loretta Hoen- ninger, John Heiney, and John Gibson, with Marcia Kelly as alternate. The Oxford teams were scheduled for three dual debates. The first was with Conshohocken, in which the nega- tive team of Oxford opposed the affirm- ative team of Conshohocken, at Con- shohocken, resulting in a decision of three to nothing in Oxford’s favor; and the affirmative team of Oxford de- bated the negative team of Consho- hocken at Oxford, with a similar de- cision in favor of Oxford On April 9th we had our second debate, which was with Phoenixville. On this occasion our affirmative team opposed Phoenix- ville’s negative at Phoenixville and scored a victory of two to one, while our negative debated Phoenixville’s affirmative at Oxford with a likewise victorious decision of three to nothing. Undoubtedly, much of the success of our work is due to the efforts of Prof. Grimm, who has so carefully coached and instructed our teams in the art of debating. For this we wish to acknowl- edge our hearty appreciation. Preparation is now being made for our third and last debate, which is to be with Royersford, in which we sin- cerely hope and are well assured that we will chalk up two more victories to our present four and add one more championship to the two already ac- quired by Oxford High this year. HARRY GRIER, ’29 LA SOCIETE FRANCAISE Le President.........M John Gibson La Vice-President Mile. Marcia Kelly La Secretaire .. Mile. Dorothy Sharpe La Tresarier---- Mile. Ann Hindman The French Club of Oxford High School has nearly ended its second year of life, and a very interesting and instructive year it has been. The Club, this year, did not have any brilliant second year students in the form of our Lordly Seniors, but only poor Juniors, mere fledglings just starting on the path of the French Language. However, we did struggle through our first meetings. Ye knew little French but with the help of “Le Petit Journal’’—our French newspaper—we discussed the past and current events of France. We learned their national song “La Marseillaise” and also stud- ied the lives of some of the celebrated French people: Napoleon, George Sand, Victor Hugo, Jeanne O’Arc, Marshall Foch, Ambassador Herrick 44 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB SCIENCE CLUB and others. We heard synopses of sev- eral of Hugo's most important dramas, and enjoyed an address by Professor Osborne of Lincoln University, on the various benefits derived from studying French. Our crowning achievement was a banquet at the “Oaks”, the entire pro- gram being given in French. Toasts were offered by “Le President John Gibson, Professor Osborne, and our in- structor, Miss McCrea. She expressed her regret at being obliged to leave Oxford, but, I am certain, she is no more reluctant to go than we are to have her leave. And to the Seniors—“Au plaisir de vous revoir et bonne chance pour cette vie.” CHRISTMAS PAGEANT For the first time in this school’s history, a Christmas pageant and carol service was presented by the students to the townfolks. Under the capable direction of Miss Garrett and Miss Koch, the pageant was presented in the Oxford Theatre, on December ‘23, 1928. The theatre was tilled to its ca- pacity. A sum of ten cents was charged each person for the purpose of defray- ing royalty expenses. Preceding the pageant itself was a processional of the High School girls, who were carrying lighted candles and who were dressed in white; a carol ser- vice by the audience; a selection by the school orchestra; and the reading of the Christmas story by Wilma Spren- kle. The beauty and dramatic spot of the evening was the playlet, “Why the Chimes Rang’’ by Samuel French. The play was logical, interesting, and de- lightfully enacted. Both costumes and scenery were far from amateurish, while the lighting at the scenes was excellent. The cast was as follows: Ilolger .............. Harry Grier Steen ............. Willard Heiney Bartel ......... Thomas Gillingham Old Woman ................... Anne Gorman Priest ......... Norman Strickland Lords, Kings, Attendants, Ladies, etc. Incidental music furnished by the School Glee Club and Miss Kreiser at the organ. The recessional number of the even- ing was the hymn, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.” This premier pageant was vety suc- cessful, holding a high place among any of the Christmas services yet given in our midst. Judge: Were you ever in trouble before ? Lindsay: Well, yes and no. I kept a library book too long once and was fined two cents. • • • Mrs. Cox at Cafeteria: Haven’t they given you a menu yet? Starved Student: Yes, but I finished that half an hour ago. 45 O. H. S. ORCHESTRA TRI-SIGMA TRI-SIGMA Tri-Sigma ! Sigma-Sigma-Sigma! S- S-S' Seven Sketch Sketchers; Tri- Sigma, the 0. H. S'. Art Chib is the only Greek letter society in the school. It is composed of seven students who, under the delightful and most inter- esting guidance of -Miss Scothorne, do everything they have the ability to do, for art’s sake. (Research work: Who is Art?) During this season, we have got pins with our Greek letters, held out- door sketch groups, learned all about “perspective’’, entered in the Play Festival, and with our posters—ad- vertised all the games. Each Tuesday we meet, and weekly we become more interested in the dreams of Art. I close now with the motto of Tri- Sigma as our by-word: “Ars Grat is Artis!” NORMAN STRICKLAND TRUE, BROTHER, TRUE Mrs. Featherman: Marian, what tree do you like best? Marian Mackey: Date tree. Mrs. Featherman: W7hy, Marian? Marian: Because I like dates. K. W , ’29 Many a beautiful bit of scenery is i'.lined by a bill board.

John Miller: That’s fine. • • • Dick D.: I thought you said you were going to knock that English exam cold. Joe L.: Well, didn’t I come out with a zero? Mrs. Cox: We have a new dish washer in the Cafeteria. Harry Grier: Yes, I noticed the dif- ference in finger prints on my knife. Clifford G. :Shall I mark time with my feet? Mr. Grimm: Did you ever hear of marking time with your hands? Clifford: Clocks do! • Frank R. (at track meet) : That fellow is some runner. Lilly P.: How come he’s so fat, then ? Frank R.: Haste makes waist, you know. 46 J une, 1929 THE KERNEL GIRLS' ATHLETIC NOTES Mrs. Mabel Brown, Coach Hockey: Captain—Oma Pae Van Pelt Manager—Anne Gorman Assist. Mgr.—Frances Passmore Basketball: Captain—'Ruth Blackburn Manager—Nancy Ridgley Dear Kernel Readers, it is with great pride that we review to you the achievements of the Girls’ Athletics for the past year. Of course, you know we won the Hockey Championship of Chester County by bringing down C’oatesville from the pedestal on which she has stood for three years—unde- feated. We heat them on October 21, by a score of 2-0. We owe credit to our most capable Manager, Anne Gorman, who succeeded in scheduling the game to a later date, thereby giving us more time to practice in order to defeat Coatesville. Our Hockey Team did not lose one game this season, and many of you saw the final battle of the season here when we held Coatesville 0-0. You know the various scenes of joy exhibit- ed on the field when the final whistle blew and we were pronounced the “Champs.” Rumors are in the air of the School Board presenting the Champs with Hockey pins. The rumors have not, as yet, been verified, but we’re hoping that they will be. The Rotary Club of Oxford enter- tained us at a lovely banquet at the Oxford Hotel. April 8th. We were pre- sented with a silver loving cup in rec- ognition of our victory. Soon after the Hockey season closed Basketball came. We were not quite as successful during our Basketball its during Hockey season, but we made a brave effort to defeat our opponents by winning seven out of fourteen games. The Inter-Class Track Meet was held at 1 :00 P. M. on Thursday, April 17th. A group of willing High School girls made delicious home-made delicacies, to be sold at the Track Meet in order to raise money to pay the expenses of our Track Team. The girls’ response to Mr. Grimm’s request was indeed a generous one. The Athletic Associa- tion thanks them graciously for their kind efforts in helping them. We shall feel keenly the loss of our Senior Class, especially in athletics. Our Hockey Team will lose Oma Pae Van Pelt, captain, “Rutliie” Black- burn, a real full-back, Wilma Sprenkle, wing-sub, and Helen Miller, half-back sub. Our Basketball Team will lose “Rutliie” Blackburn, the sturdy cap- tain, Anne Gorman, center, Pae, for- ward and side-center. Last, but not least, the “New Londoners”—Dot Cloud, “Peg” Eves, and “Chattie” Vannoy. They came to us just this year and have really made a name for themselves. It is indeed with regret that we are losing our Coach, Mrs. Mabel Brown. We will never forget her for her never ceasing efforts in working with us and for us. In closing, we want to thank you for your support in coming out to the games. We hope that you have enjoy- ed the Girls’ Athletics as much as we have enjoyed participating in them and keeping Old Oxford High on the “top”. LORETTA HOENNINGER, ’30 “THREE PRINCIPALS GIVE THREE PRINCIPLES” J. W. McMullen, the first Principal, contributes the principle of common sense. You will find that when you take P. O. D. C. W. Lieb, the second Principal, contributes the principle of discipline. Ask the Freshmen and Seniors (?). J. M. Thompson, the third Principal, contributes the principles of value of learning.
