VIOLET FEATHERMAN MRS. MABEL BROWN MRS.

We are sincerely grateful for all that they have done for us, and in parting, we wish them all the best of luck and a continuation of the successes they have achieved in old Oxford High School FOREWORD The editorial staff wishes to state that the 1930 edition of The Kernel has been published with “the very best Kernel yet” as our goal.

From earliest clays when Flato and Socrates prophesied, surmised, ex- perimented and proved, to the modern day when the rank and file of all civ- ilization is in command of facts far beyond the most profound dreams of those old patriarchs, teachers have come to be increasingly regarded as the greatest of civilizing influences. Hut we must localize this discourse and portray certain characteristics commendable or otherwise, of our most honorable faculty. The seat of honor must be accorded our worthy principal, Mr. McMullen. While he shows a decided affection for chalk and Scotch jokes. In is commend- ably cool and level-headed, with an un- quenchable 'amount of deep philosophy, which all Seniors love. The Seniors are proud of their class advisor and (’hem. Prof., Mr. Leib, but recently we have become disgusted with him—‘‘Oh! My Juniors” explains it all. This diminuitive gentleman is the most resolute and respected of all our faculty—ask any Prep. Mr. Thompson will always be remem- bered as the most original teacher with whom we have ever come in contact. And when it comes to baseball, he’s Connie Mack, 2nd, even to turning out champions. Poor Mr. Grimm! lie has his trou- bles—first. Cupid stings him—and then he finds the eighteen day diet won’t work. lie s been holding down the various classes of history very effi- ciently—no wonder. With Prof. Burt are intimately as- sociated those handsome, young Frosh farmers—clever chaps, don’t eha know! Mr. Hurt is considered the best agriculture teacher in our county and we all believe it when we see his “lab” in the old building. It is with the deepest sadness that O. II. S. bids farewell to three of its ex- cellent faculty members—Mrs. Feath- erman, Mrs. Ramsay and Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Featherman will long be re- membered with endearing thoughts by the host of able commercia lists whom she has trained. To her credit goes several typing championships and a high grade output of students. We hope she will be as successful a home- maker as she has been a teacher. Mrs. Ramr-ay, in the two short years that she has been with us. has become very popular, not only with the pupils. MAGISTRIS but with a strong, handsome man from ------. Anyway, they’re getting along nicely and will for many years, we are sure. For many years Mrs. Brown has been a faithful teacher and coach. She, too, has met with the happy event for which we are all more or less destined, and she nvade a good job of it. We bate to see you go, Mrs. Brown, but you won’t be far from us. And we hear that Miss Garrett is leaving—the melody is broken. She has served faithfully and skillfully. She has been a powerful stimulant to the voices of our school and a friend to all of us. .Miss Garrett has devel- oped everything from the fourth grade tin band to the High School orchestra. Mrs. Wilde has proven, in her first year with us, her expert ability as a teacher and as a good sport. She has a particular liking for the Junior hoys— now which ones? To this lady goes tin credit for the fine presentation of the Senior Play. Miss Pugh has returned to us after a four years’ leave of absenee, and now is administering the elements of biol- ogy to those precious Sophs. A new friend has joined the faculty from down Wilmington way, in the person of Miss Crossan. expert Latin and French coach. “Norman! Mal- colm! Harry! If you boys don’t get quiet, I’ll scream.’ Never mind, Mad- amoiselle, those scamps will soon he out. Another teacher has proved her capabilities in a still different field— Miss Mackey in Home Kconomics. From what we hear she has finally succeeded in teaching the Prep girlp how not to bake rocks when they are baking biscuits. Miss SYothornc is still with us, devel- oping the minds of our pupils along in- trinsic lines—drawing and more draw- ing. She is evidently succeeding from the fine appearance of some produc- tions. !s it true that at Last we must leave forever the kind advice, the pleasant dispositions, the excellent examples of those with whom we have been in con- stant contact for many days? Yes. we must go; we all must go, but we will not go unmindful of our teachers. The day will never come, while we have life, that we will forget their influence and their kindness.

This molfo Ellsworth bravely has hurled “God’s in His Heaven; all’s right with the world.” 25 June, 1930 THE KERNEL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Tlic queerest feeling possesses me as I attempt to relate the events of a class, approaching the end of its high school course. Although the world beckons to us, it is with sighs of re- gret that we leave Oxford High. The Seniors have had their joys and sorrows, during these high school years, which have been all too short. As we look out into the prospects of the future; as we trace the growth and development of our class, we can no- tice errors and neglects;—which how- ever. are eclipsed by the deeds which will make the class of ’30 a memorable one. When we were Freshmen, our crud- ity made the upper-classmen stand agape, but it required only a brief time for a class with such remarkable capacities to organize and adapt itselt to the environments: we bravely com- peted with the “Sophs” and held our own during the ‘‘Fresh-Soph” affairs and party. We came back to our Sophomore year confident and rather exalted—“A little learning is a dangerous thing.” Nevertheless, coherently we strove for that knowledge which we lacked. Then, we happily recall the day when we assumed the responsibility of upper-classmen. We dispensed with in- discret and petty things to turn our at- tention to the cultivation of such qual- ities becoming an upper-classman, and to the achievement of such deeds which might indirectly intluence the energetic lower-classmen. Things not done must be left undone, but we hope they will profit by our experiences. Our -Junior year passed swiftly by. and we stood on the threshold of our Senior year. We became graver and more thought- fid in manners, and diligently applied ourselves to that work which had to be done to insure for us a bright future. May the class of ’30 be an illustri- ous spot in Oxford’s history, and may she ever be true to Old Oxford High. As we leave our footprints on the sands of time, “To do our chores in this wide universe,” we will never cease to love and labor for the success of Oxford High. We go—hoping we may not he for- gotten. and longing to believe that our •oming has not been in vain. MAKGARET FITZGERALD CLASS WILL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : Be it hereby stated that we, the Class of 1930, being of sound mind, but considering the uncertainties of life, do make and publish these presents as and for our last will and testament, naming as our executor. Harold Fisher (Piccolo Pete) Esquire: First, to Mrs. Thelma Kreiser Ram- sey, we bequeath two carloads of roll- ing pins, to use on the Sophomores (not •lack), when they are dumber than usual.

Third, to Mr. Thompson, we be- queath six feet of Barton Kent’s length, to be used in keeping the next year's Trig class in order by “syrol- ogy.” Fourth, to Mr. Grimm, we bequeath three cases of reducing soap, especial- ly prepared in the High School labora- tory, under the instruction of Mr. Leib. Full directions with each cake). Fifth, to Mr. Leib. we bequeath any worn out pencils and rulers, to quiet the main room, also a can of varnish to be used on the sadly marked desks, as a result of continuous hammering. Sixth, to Mrs. Featherman, we be- queath any short hand notebooks that are left over, so Albert can record her rapid dictation next year. (Probably given as home work).

To Gerald Keilholtz, wo leave three handbooks on how to develop that “Magnetic Personality”—used three seasons by Allen Mackey, still in per- fect condition. (We mean the book). To Ike Honey, we leave a pair of stilts, used bv Barton 'Kent, and Joe Wilkinson’s debating ability. To the Juniors, we leave all broken .seats in the Senior rows and six large, goofer-feather cushions, found under Mr. Grimm’s desk. To the Sophomores, we leave the cash drawer, used in the Senior play, to make it possible for English to reg- ister in their minds. To the Freshmen, we leave the honor (and pleasure) of initiating next year’s class of Preps. In witness whereof, we have here unto set our hands, pro and eon, this Sixteenth Day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Signed, SENIOR CLASS, ’JO Per Jimmie Lund Witnesses: Piccolo Pete Kirk Melrath Boob McNutt Madam Queen CLASS PROPHECY As my airplane zoomed to a perfect landing on the wide sunny spaces of Los Angeles field I realized that I had made my hurried trip in record time. 1 had been busy in my New York of- fice. but on receiving an urgent call from a classmate from dear old O. 11. S'.. I couldn’t refuse to comply. The classmate, Loretta Iloenninger, our lovely Ima Springer, had just finished her first talkie, and was anxious forme to see and hear her in it. Remember- ing her charms in High School dra- matics, T didn’t have the heart to re- fuse, and so here I was. I said “Goodbye” to my pilot, none other than Barton Kent, now becom- ing world famous in his mastery of aviation, and started across the field. Nearing the hangar, I saw .a pleasingly plump figure in Hying togs, goggles and all. approaching. I barely recog- nized her, but at a closer glance I found that it really was Mary Lou Kirk, all ready for her solo flight. She had received some very efficient train- ing from our old friend, Allen Mackey —so she told me. Allen’s not so bad at flying either, so we hear. I stayed to watch her trip up alone, and she couldn’t have done better. Promising to see her later, I left the hangar and summoned a taxi. Something familiar in the driver’s face caused me to look again. Joe Wilkinson, of course! Oh, what a ride I had but I did arrive safely at Loretta’s modest bungalow. We had a great deal to talk about, but finally the subject turned to something very familiar and close to our hearts—classmates of the 0. H. S. I knew the whereabouts of a great many of them, while Loretta in turn, gave information concerning the few I couldn’t locate. Of course, we both remembered so well our pal—Marcia Kelly. “Mas” is quite an efficient linquist, and is con- sidering a position at Sw rthmore, where, by the way, Laurine McLaugh- lin is the well-beloved Dean of Wom- en. Loretta mentioned Clara Gallagher, one of the most clever of the class of ’30. I had to stop to think for a min- ute. 1 soon remembered however, that Clara is holding a very responsible job as Superintendent of Nurses at the Jefferson Hospital. That brought to my mind two inseparable blondes of High School fame—Frances Ileesters and Verna Hansen. Both are making their mark in the world as anesthetists in this same hospital. But as I told Loret- ta, I’m afraid the hospital will soon be seeking new assistants, because Cupid is not far behind these two. The conversation drifted aimlessly and suddenly, at the mention of Wall Street, I was reminded of one more old friend. It was no one but Albert Kling, who today knows every nook and corn- 27 June, 1930 THE KERNEl er of that famous street. I had. only a short time before, visited Albert's luxurious office and was delighted to find little Ruth Hunter as his private secretary. It didn’t take much ex- planation to figure that out. Sara Burger was in the office too. doing some complicated work necessary for Albert's job. lie said that he couldn’t get along without them. As I told my friend, business has called a lot of our classmates. Bun Johnson’s making a “go of things over in ). II. S. as Commercial In- structor. Good reports are circulating concerning Evelyn Barnett, Elizabeth Dodd, and Ruth Crowl. Evelyn and Elizabeth are very efficient private sec- retaries in Philadelphia offices, while Ruth is social secretary to a very wealthy Long Island matron. That brought to mind two other of our old chums, .Margaret Fitzgerald and Em- ma .Mellinger. Both had been holding down some secretarial work in private homes, but are at present, on a tour of Europe, as chaperons of the girls of these families. Rebecca Hutchins, Sa- ra Wilson and Katherine Hammond had all been inclined toward business, but are now doing better jobs as house wives. In the meantime, I had seen Loret- ta's first try at the “talkies . It was all I had expected and more. We Laughed, thinking of her acting in this, compared to her High School attempts. This brought to our mind Loretta’s leading man. none other than Jimmy Lund. Jimmy, for all his ability at acting, has abandoned it for a very re- sponsible job on the “New York Times’’. Yes, Jimmy is a big news- paper man. now. His office is as busy as the proverbial bee-hive, the busiest of these Bees having Wig for her last name. Bea. as manager, makes things hum; nevertheless, they are doing big tilings in their own way. I also had heard Jack Fetters is one of the liveli- est reporters that the paper can boast of. Seeing a popular current magazine, gave me another due to one of our old pals. My friend was delighted when 1 told her that Elizabeth Coates, who had been s.• clever in High School, had become a really famous and much sought-after illustrator. That brought to mind Thora Sprenkle. Having so muny successful and talented friends, it was almost hard to think of them all. Tliora, however, true to the promise she showed in school days, has blos- somed into a well-known commercial artist. Having seen some of her work, I realized how successful she has be- come. Looking through the magazine I found I had another surprise for Lo- retta. A well-written article in Home Economics bad caught my eye and it. was really Ethel Thompson who had done it. Ethel has a job at The Uni- versity of Michigan as Home Econom- ics professor, and she’s doing great. I had been talking to her only a few weeks before and she had given some information of a few classmates whom I hadn't remembered. She told me that Emmeline Roney was head nurse at the hospital of the University where Ethel is working, and that Ada Warfel had been caring for a wealthy old lady and had recently accompanied her to Cuba for the winter. I was surprised when Ethel told me that Helen Mahan, having become a very efficient nurse, had gone on with her studies to be- come a doctor. That made me think of George Mohler, who also took tip medicine. George is busy doing some extensive research work, however, and we expect to hear from him in the future. I was able to tell Ethel about a cou- ple of others whom she couldn't locate. George Reburn is doing bis bit at Civil Engineering in Chicago. Horace Rey- nolds has become Business Manager for a large Buffalo concern. Ellsworth Yaw is working on his mechanical en- gineering in Detroit. Ye were both glad to hear that little Clyde Reburn had gone to France to continue his studies in chemical engineering. Clyde is going to be beard from soon. I told all this to Loretta, but she came right back, asking what had be- come of Lee Herr, f was able to tell 28 THE KERNEL June, 1930 her that Lee is becoming rich back in Pennsylvania, with his large stock farm. That brought another farmer friend to mind. Marry Kirk is doing well as a farmer on a rolling farm down in Maryland. Harry really knows his job, when it comes to farming. Hill Kimble too, had turned to farming, and was making a success of a poultry farm in Delaware. Suddenly, a class-mate came to my mind whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, but I had heard of him quite often. It was Tom Gillingham. M.v friend was very much interested in the fact that Tom, after finishing a course at Harvard, was now in South Africa, doing research work in connection with his engineering. lie is examining dia- mond mines in that country, and by the size id' the diamond on Ann Hind- man’s left hand we believe lie is quite successful. Ann is doing clerical work in Philadelphia until Tom returns. That was all I could tell Loretta about our class-mates, but she was able to supply some of the missing ones. She told me that Nancy Hutchison is in California, doing Y. Y. ('. A. work. In summer she has charge of a girls' camp in the mountains. Lewis Jamison, I heard, is in Arizona on a ranch, just being a big cow boy. John' Winchester is in San Francisco managing a large department store. Loretta told me that she sees Jinny Russell quite often. Jinny is doing a big lot of work at designing clothes for the foremost movie stars. Her hubby is raising Scotch terriers. Kva Wolf was last seen when sailing from San Francisco harbor on her way to China, to do Missionary work. Encouraging letters telling of her work are being received by friends. 1 asked where John Heiney could possibly be. Loretta blushed slightly, and told me that he was right in Holly- wood. His knowledge of electrical engineering is making him much in demand and many of his inventions were doing wonders for the moving picture industry. It seems that Birdie McGovern has opened a studio of dancing, where her talent is preparing many future stars for fame on stage and screen. My friend handed me a letter to read. I recognized the handwriting at once as Dotty Sharpe’s. Dotty’s let- ter came from Ireland, where she is spending her honeymoon. She seems very happy, and we wish her lots of luck. The time for my departure drew near, as ! was making a stop off at Chicago to attend a recital of a fam- ous tenor. An old class-mate, Mar- garet Cannon, was to accompany him at the piano, and so the recital was all the more interesting to me. Also, another friend, Margaret G. Crawl, was to do some piano solo work, at which she is becoming world famous. We realized that our pleasant reflec- tions must come to an end and that we must part. There was still much we could say, but we were glad that we had had this short time in which to talk. Saying goodbye, we knew that, al- though future meetings might be few, there would always be a golden bond between us—our memories of the dear old 0. II. S. HETTY FERGl'SOX, ’JO Ann: 1 don’t see how you can afford to take so many girls to expensive restaurants. Tom: That's easy: ! always ask each girl just before we go in if she hasn't been putting on weight. 30 Lydia Yerkes: Well Joe, how are you'! Joe And.: Wonderful, thanks. Lydia: Well, I'm glad someone thinks so. 3 3 0 Old Gent: So you are going to school now. are you, Hobby? Hobby McMullen: Yes. sir! O. G.: Spell puppy for me. Hobby: Oh. I’m further advanced than that. Try me on dog. 3 3 0 Then there was the absent-minded professor who poured coffee in his lap and tried to drink his napkin. 29 JUNIOR CLASS THE KERNEL June, 1930 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Greetings to the entire complexity of the reader. In order that you may size up the value of the Class of 31 to the Alma Mater, we shall show you our steady decline since we entered the High School way back in 11127 before Mussolini knew anything about Naval Parity. As Freshmen we staged the biggest (also most expensive) party ever al- lotted to the Preps. We'll never for- get how we upset the mighty “Sophs in basketball, 10-9. Then there was the Interclass Track meet—we lit in third place. As Sophomores, we were represented in debating, soccer, track, baseball, and basketball. We came out in first place in the Interclass Meet, one point ahead of the Juniors. I)oc Wilson cleared all the high-jumping bars this side of Australia. He and Kelly and Kddie Ingram also cleaned up all the dashes they could find. The rest of the year we dreamed of being Juniors. And so old Father Time cut off an- other period of education with his “Eversharp.” We are now Juniors. The Junior Class made up the bulk of the soccer team, is well represented in track and baseball, argues well in de- bating. helps out the orchestra with an extra fiddle, and provides three ’Vars- ity players and two very efficient subs on the very successful basketball team. Hut our mental ability is as out- standing as our physical. Let us visit Mrs. Wilde’s ambitious English Class. Ah—she is talking—let's listen: “It's too bad that a boy of your age hasn’t sense enough to study. And what's more, Malcolm Kelly, someone ought to give you a good winding.' ‘‘Sorry—but 1 don’t care for that kind of fish.” Now let us skip tip to Mr. Grimm's History refugees. He's merely asking a | jest.ion: “When you were in Boston, Hetty, did you visit Hunker Hill?'’ “I called on him but he wasn’t in.” Now to jump across the hall to Mr. Thompson’s Mathematical wizards. “What would you have, Edward, if you had thirty-five cents, two dollars and a cpiarter and some valuable ob- ject, such as ivory?” The answer came like a Hash, with- out the slightest pang of conscience hurry—“A crap game.” And now to trot down a few doors to Mrs. Featherman’s long-faced short- handers. The way those typewriters are operating—it sounds like artillery practice in a Military Camp. We can’t hear a thing for that racket, so we’ll just dash over to the Chemistry Laboratory, and watch the resourceful chemists. Next we rush up the hall some more to the .Mile. Crossan s French studio. Here we need an interpreter to make out what’s going on. At last English is spoken by the Mile, herself. “Well, Norman, did you study your French today?” “Yes, I studied some of it.” “Well, let me hear you count to ten.” “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.” We ought to give three lousy cheers for the mentality of '31. Anyhow, the bells ring, and we thunder into the Main Hoorn to pick tip paper and be dismissed. No, we are not dismissed. Harry Grier, our deficient president, calls a class meet- ing; to restore the unusual silence he waves his arms in dignity (probably disgusted). First, we find out how much debt we owe the treasury. Then we discuss the satisfaction or dissatis- faction of the class rings purchased this year. Mostly satisfactory. Very at- tractive rings, too. Now we settle down to business. The Junior Prom is the cause of the meeting, and it is de- cided to be held on May the sixteenth. Our Decorating Committee assures a charming setting and our Entertain- ment Committee assures a pleasant evening. The meeting is adjourned by a un- animous vote (its usual). We, tile Class of 1931, now bid you adieu until next year. “SAMMY” KIRK, ’31 31 THE KERNEL June, 1930 SOPHOMORE HISTORY Class of ’32 Our history, since the launching of our High School career, has not been exciting nor yet uneventful. In our Freshmen year the traditional Hallow- e'en Party was given in the new gym”. The gym was artistically decorated and the guests were enter- tained by the pleasing music of the Lincoln University Orchestra of ‘2!). Came dawn! Came students also! It was Monday, !) o'clock, first day of the school year, 1929-1930. What a thrill to return to our dear old Alma .Mater! Such a thrill to greet old friends, old teachers, and old books—in fact, we boast a little—that is our license. We are one step nearer our goal. When you consider how well the Sophomores are represented in school activities, you realize how essential the class is to Oxford High. In sports, you find we have representatives. What's more, we are represented in debating, musical organizations, and other school activities. We have high scho- lastic standing and are heart and soul behind our ‘‘Alma Mater. We are now finishing our Sophomore year—ironing out the wrinkles, and then this extraordinarily enormous class will he heard from in the future—“if the cow doesn’t jump over the moon or the cat run away with the spoon.” •Joe Anderson: “Great Scott. I for- got who wrote ‘Ivanhoe’. ’ Boob Hoffman: “I’ll tell you who wrote ‘Ivanhoe if you’ll tell me who the Dickens wrote a ‘Tale of Two Cities.’ ” Farewell, big sister-class! W e wish for you all the success in this vast world, into which you are about to journey. M. BERKOWICII 'Kelly: There will never be a name like Woodrow Wilson in French His- tory. Doc: oil, 1 don’t know! There might be. Kelly: Never! There is no “w’ in the French language. HOME AND SCHOOL LEAGUE The Oxford League organized early iu September for the year’s work, and opened with a Reception to the teach- ers—old and new. Through the aid of the Grade and High School teachers a canvas of the patrons of the school was made and before the opening night there had been mailed to every home a complete program for the year’s work and an invitation to join the League, thus helping to cement the tie between the Home and School. There was a hearty response to this effort and our member- ship was increased more than • !) per- cent. The Sixth Grade, Miss Kather- ine Cannon teacher, won first prize in bringing in the most members. Second prize was won by Fifth Grade. Miss Viella Stafford teacher. Both prizes were books much needed in these Grades for supplementary work. Each month’s program presents some Grade for a fifteen minute period of entertainment, giving the pupil val- ued training in public appearance, as well as a speaker, music and routine work. Mr. Norman Batehford, County Sup- ervisor of Agriculture; Mr. Clyde Say- lor. County Superintendent of Public Schools; Prof. Walter L. Wright of Lincoln University; Mr. J. Marshall Thompson and Prof. J. W. McMullen of the Faculty; Mrs. Christine Bald- win. School Nurse, have addressed the meetings and brought forth worth while messages. Twice, Educational Films have been presented—one on “Safety Education” and one on “Health.” The organization holds that the greatest asset of the Nation is its chil- dren. anil for their health, their educa- tion, spiritual, mental and physical training, our united and untiring ef- forts are needed to bring forth the best in the child. Motto: Education for Service. MARGARET G. COLLINS, Pres., Home School League 33 THE KERNEL June, 1930 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Ilello, Everybody! Here we are again! This time the Freshmen—most- ly referred to as the “Preps”. We are proud of a class of seventy members, which is divided into three sections; general, commercial, and vo- cational. In the fall our first class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: President......Spencer Andrews V.-President .... Ralph Jamison Secretary ....... Wesley McCool Treasurer ....... Robert Walker The Freshmen Class has been repre- sented in athletics. Ralph Jamison played basketball and soccer while Hetty Kent represented the Freshmen on the 'Varsity basketball team, and Estella Cochran on the hockey team. We are fast learning Algebra under Miss Armstrong's many methods of teaching. We like English very much, because of Mrs. Wilde’s interesting way of helping us. We are also learn- ing .Science under Mr. Leib’s helpful and careful instruction. With the guid- ance of Miss Pugh and Miss Crossan, we are specially learning about ancient Rome in History and Latin class. The Junior Business students are also pro- gressing under the direction of Miss Kennard. with the supervision of Miss Mackey and Mr. Hurt, the vocational group are learning speedily. The Freshmen have been letting the people of Oxford know about their class. This has been done by the faithful efforts of Dorine Wig and Wynona England, in their writing a report for the paper each week. In general, we have bad a good term and we hope to have a successful one next year. Before we leave we wish to say good-bye to the Seniors, our up- per class-mates. We wish them happi- ness and success through life.

Be a Devon Secretary ............ Dot Algard Soon after her election the president appointed several committees, such as the room committee, to keep the room in good order: the librarian, to take care of o ir books, and the music com- mittee, to furnish music for dismissal. We, as a class, feel that we have ac- complished much this year. To prove this to you we will tell you some of the things which have happened. Two of the Assembly programs this year were in charge of our Eighth tirade. The first program consisted of a couple of short talks by two of our pupils and a speech by Mrs. Samuel Dickey. We feel sure that the program was enjoyed by everyone and we are grateful to Mrs. Dickey for helping us out. Our other program, which was also a success consisted of a socialized lesson on “Labor and Industry” and a short play. The socialized lesson was especially enjoyed by members of the faculty. We also have hail the honor of ap- pearing before the Home and School League with a socialized lesson on ‘‘The Progress of Education.” Social- ized lessons seem to be our specialty and they are most beneficial. After getting Mr. McMullen’s per- mission, we voted on whom to send to Avon-Grove High School for a visit. The following students were elected: .lean Ridgley, Robert Mahan, Max Walton, and Julia Goldey. After all ar- rangements were made our four pupils finally visited Avon-Grove for a day, and when they came home they told us all about it. They proved to have been very observant and they com- mented particularly on the order in the halls, which is much superior to the order in our ludls. We have also played the Good Sa- maritan this year by giving baskets of good things to those less fortunate than ourselves, on Thanksgiving Day, and by giving some food supplies to the West Grove Hospital. .11 1.1 A GOLDEY DECORATIVE CLUB The Decorative Club, otherwise known as the Home Economics Club, is one of the largest in the high school. In the beginning of the year we elect- ed our officers, who a.re as follows: Betty Walker ... President Esther Palmer .. . Vice President Jessie Bowers ... Secretary Amy Herr............. Treasurer V‘e also divided our club into five departments: sewing, basketry, art, embroidery, and paper work. Many beautiful products of these depart- ments have been completed after all the effort which has been put forth. Our meetings have been very inter- esting. Three Thursdays of the month were spent in work, the other Thurs- day was our social hour, during which we served refreshments of cocoa and sandwiches, which were made by the Home Economics girls. Under the careful supervision of Miss Mackey, we are very progressive, and we are proud to say that our Club has been very much of a success.

We organized in Oc- tober and the following officers were elected. Robert Wheeler ...... President Elizabeth Shoemaker V.-President. Faith Russell ....... Secretary William Burling...... Treasurer We decided on the «hies, which were forty-five cents for the year or five cents a month. We were very much confused at first at the difference between this and the previous year, hut after several weeks we became accustomed to it and settled down to work. The majority of our pupils are in the Civics and Aviation Class. We have given one play in Assem- bly. called “Old Plymouth Days.” Other pupils from our grade have par- ticipated in the programs given by various clubs. We have point systems in Arith- metic, History, and English, and we have found it successful in encourag- ing the pupils to do their work. We are now «anxiously awaiting the finals, and hoping that next year vve will be in Eighth Grade. ROBERT WHEELER, Pres.

Few attended the opening practice, but practices soon picked up as the weather and call of Spring en- thused those runners to strain their muscles down the cinder path. Cross- country practice was used for the first week, but steady work gave leave to this. Great expectations are looked forward to, from the track-men. Several honors were won on friend- ly fields last year. Oxford was repre- sented at F. M. and gained third place in the meet. Swartlnnore brought forth third place and West Chester meet gained for us second place. They also attended Perkiomen. The track team is composed of the following: M. Kelly, L. Ilerr. X. Wil- son, T. Gillingham, E. Ingram, M. Gal- braith, W. Kimble. MKRWYX GALBRAITH Soccer Soccer, the first sport of the season in O. II. S., proved interesting. The opening game with Cnionville brought forth a tie of 1 to 1. Awakening from our daze, the ‘‘.Maroon and White” won the next game from Coatesville High, with the triumphant 3 to 2. This proved very exciting and brought back the good, old soccer spirit to Ox- ford High. The next few games were favorable, winning 3 and losing 2. All in all. the soccer team won (i games, tied 2 and lost 4. The line-up: Mahler—Goal Keeper Gillingham (cap!.)—Fullback Goldey—Fullback Herr—Right Center Halfback L. -Jamison—Left Halfback Wilson—Center Coates—Right Inside Kelly—Left Inside Anderson—Left Wing Kimble—Right Wing Subs.—R. Jamison. Berkowich. Roney, Reynolds, Keilholtz. The efficient captain, Tom Gilling- ham, proved his ability as fullback at Coatesville. ‘‘Shorty-’ Jamison, line- end, is a new team-mate, Freshman, this year. Mr. Thompson, soccer coach, tried hard to win for us the championship, while Harry Grier, Manager, fed them chewing gum. Basketball ‘‘Oxford Speed Boys” went over with a big bang this year. With fresh vigor, the basketball team shoved off with seven straight victories—bowing once to Parkesburg, Alumni, and Boy- ertown. Only two games were lost on our local floor. Downingtown was beat- en by (). II. S., 31 to 28. They forfeited the game with Cnionville. when the score stood 24 to 11 at the end of the third quarter, Cnionville’s favor. At the end of the game Oxford won, 31 to 30. What a chase! Parkesburg came into view as the last half of the season neared the end. On Friday night. Feb. 28. Parkesburg was scheduled to play on our floor; if we won, a tie would be played. The cheering crowd and the speed and good training of our boys helped them win. The tie, then, was played at Ken- nett Square. Masses of people from Parkesburg and Oxford thronged the building at Kennett. We lost, but we gave them a hot time for it. The team work was such an outstanding feature of everyone in the game—that to credit any certain one player is im- possible. The coach. Mr. Grimm, how- ever. deserves the credit of his team. The line-up : Wilson—Forward I Mates—Forward Goldey—Center L. Jamison—Capt.-Guard Mgr. Gillingham—Guard Subs.— Kelly, R. Jamison. Keilholtz, Miller, Mohler. Piccolo: I hear you had a long talk with Mack Berkowich this morning. doe Hogg: Yes. When ! left him he was so tired that he could hardly lift his arms. 41 B VSEBALL WEARERS OF THE “0 THE KERNEL June, 1930 Baseball Base-ball! Base-ball days are here again! Remember Mickey Cochrane back of the bat or Fox knocking a “homer” over 32nd street. Well, any way, we’re not the A s. but we have .just as good a little team as Connie Mack's. Don’t let the Oxford Nine fail you. Cheer them! Oochranville defeated them in the first practice game, but that means little to us. “Lew” Jamison is Captain of the Nine, and he will show 11s how to go. Keilholtz, our all American star, holds down the first base; Wilson takes care of third base, and Coates (the boy with the curl), shortstop, gets all the hot grounders coming bis way. Charles Boyd is behind the bat this year. Come o-.it and watch them go! The season, as a whole, resulted favorably, with no discouragement or uninteresting games. The boys, who .so well have contributed this tine work for their school, may well feel that neither their own efforts nor those of the coach have gone by unnoticed by members of the Oxford High. GIRLS SPORTS The Oxford High School affords many activities for both girls and boys. Those for the girls are basketball and hockey. It is with great pride that we re- view the 1929 season of hockey. It was started off with a “big” victory with Cnionville. which we won, 5-0. The girls who scored were “Jinny” Rus- sell, Anne Hindman, Emmeline Roney and Mary Winterbottom. This was a good start, and the girls were determ- ined to keep up the good fight and capture the “cup ' again. Among the games that followed we lost two. One with Du Font and the last one with our great rivals, Coates- ville. This was the hardest game of the season and the girls fought very hard. I11 the last few minutes of the game Coatesville’s center forward, Kropp. hit the ball so hard that our fullbacks were unable to stop it. After hockey season was over we started practicing f o r basketball. There were many candidates for this sport and Mrs. Brown was well pleas- ed. Our first game was with Downing- town. We lost this game, but we were not disheartened. We were only going to strive harder. We were successful in some of the games that followed, but we did not give tip. We tried our best to make some showing in O. II. S. and tile community. The last game of basketball was played with Farkes- burg at Oxford. Even though we start- ed out our season with a defeat, we ended with a victory. The girls on the teams, and also those who were attentive to all the practices, extended their sincere ap- preciation and thanks to Mrs. Brown, who worked so faithfully with us. Site has been with the Oxford High School for several years, and I am sure that everyone will join with me in saying that she has been a most splendid and efficient athletic coach. This year the hockey anti basket ball teams lose several of their members who have been with them for four years. For hockey they are “Jinny” Russell, Dottie Sharpe, Thora Spren- kle, Frances Ileesters, Ethel Thomp- son. Emmeline Roney, Betty Ferguson and Anne Hindman.

The schools participating in the I'rsinus College Debating League for 1930 were Coatesville, I'nionville, Avon-Orove, and Oxford. The ques- tion for debate was, ‘‘Resolved—That, the Present Chain Store System is Det- rimental to the Best Interests of Our Nation.” The Oxford team which upheld the affirmative side of the question consist- ed of Beatrice Wig, Harry drier, Tom Gillingham, and Adrienne Hall, al- ternate: the negative side was upheld by Loretta Hoenninger, John lleiney, Willard lleiney, and Virginia Kirk, al- ternate. The first of these debates, on Friday evening, March 28, was with C'oates- ville. The negative team travelled to Coatesville, while the affirmative team remained at home. Both of Oxford’s teams won by judges’ decisions of 3-0. Much encouraged by this score, the af-. firmative team set out on the following Thursday, April 3, for Cnionvillc, to debate on the same question, while the negative team stayed at home. Again, both teams won by the unanimous vote, 3-0. The last debate was held with Avon- Grove on Thursday afternoon, April 7. For this debate the negative team went to Avon-Grove, and the affirma- tive team remained in Oxford. Late that same afternoon the negative team again appeared in Oxford, in posses- sion of the ballets marked 3-0, in favor of Oxford: they were met by the proud affirmative team, which had likewise won. 3-0. Thus Oxford for the second consec- utive year, bears the debating cham- pionship. Both teams extend their grateful thanks to the coach, Mr. Grimm, for his splendid help and un- ceasing encouragement. COM MERC I |, CLl'B ORCII KSTRA TRI SIC M A rHE KERNEL June, 1930 COMMERCIAL CLUB Ilello, Everybody! This is the Com- mercial Club. Ever hear of us.’ Of course, you did! Every one around here knows the O. II. S. C. C. Why ' lle- eause we are always doing something worthwhile. You see we still have our Honorary President, Mrs. Featherman. Through her interest our Chib was organized; although this is her last year in our school, we hope her influence will be lasting and the Club will continue to flourish. Our officers for this year are: President ...... Hernice Johnson Vice President ..... James Lund Secretary ........... Ruth Crowl Treasurer .. Margaret Fitzgerald The Seniors are progressing, both in Shorthand and Typing. Nearly all of them have received Typing ( ertitieates and (Jregg Shorthand Certificates. The Literary of the Commercial Club was held January 1J, 19JO. in the High School Auditorium. The program con- sisted of readings, plays, vocal and in- strumental music. An admission of ten cents was charged. Along with our work we have our fun. The Annual Commercial (Tub Ham|net was held February 22. 1930, at the Octoraro Hotel. Everyone en- joyed the full course dinner. Table favors were pink rose buds, ferns, candy cherries, and programs. Our toastmaster, Jimmy Lund, who was full of “pep”, kept us in a good hum- or. There was an introductory speech by the President. Hernice John- son : toasts by former presidents. El- eanor Magaw, ’29: Mary Slauch. 28. Remarks were made by the Honorary President, Mrs. Featherman. The speaker of the evening was Mr. II. L. Evans. Principal of the Business De- partment at Beaeom College. After the banquet, we enjoyed a dance at the Re- search Club House. Another pleasant memory of our year was the afternoon and evening that th ‘ Senior Commercials were the invited guests of Beaeom College. Through the kindness and interest of Mr. Jackson, Secretary of Beaeom College, we were shown through all the departments of the College, and enter- tained at a dance in the evening. This is not all that we have been do- ing the past year, but it is enough to show you that we are a lively bunch, and that the Commercial world will be benefitted in the coming years, by the Oxford High Commercials. RCTII CROWL, ’30 OHS. ORCHESTRA Early in the fall term, Miss Garrett, our music instructor, sent out a oa.ll which was responded to by all those wishing to have a high school orches- tra. In a short time, we were organ- ized and com pi ised of the following: Margaret Winchester—First violin Merwin Galbraith—First violin Horace Scott—Second violin •Iesse Kirk -Second violin Allison Wheeler—Clarinet haides Hayes—Clarinet ’harle.s Collins—Drums James Lund—Drums Mvi rga ret Can non—-Pia nist TRI SIGMA The Art ( lub lias completed its sec- ond year under the organization of Tri Sigma. The members of the Club have finished a year of comprehensive study of art in its forms and application of artistic expression through the med- iums of charcoal, paint, enamel, glass, and castello. Poster work found place in the Chester County Farm Products Show and advertisements for school activities. The Club spent many interesting periods of sketching indoors and out, which resulted in varied design-crea- tions. Members are planning to send a limited exhibit of their work to the County Play Festival. The annual lub outing will be en- joyed at the Chester Valley Art Col- ony. to which the Club will tour in late May. This will climax our activities and be an informal farewell to Tri Sigma members from the Class of ’30. Since all’s well that ends well,—we enter vacation with “All's Well.’’ 47 AVIATION CLUB F. F. A. CLUB THE KERNEL June, 1930 CIVIC CLUB ruder tlie splendid supervision of Miss Armstrong and Miss Kennard, our Civic Club lias been a success. At tbe first of the year we elected the following officers: Robert Mahan .......... President June Grimm .... 1st V.-President Jack Ely .......2nd V.-President Albert Ilildenbrand . . . Treasurer Mildred Ewing ......... Secretary Our Club has three motives. They are: 1. To make us better citizens. 2. To interest us in the events of the day. 3. To give us experience along the line of public speaking. We try to have well balanced pro- grams, which consist of speeches on current events by members of the Club, piano solos, and some humor. We have been honored with two addresses from outsiders, one from the Rev. Yeomans of Nottingham, and tin other from the Rev. Russell of Oxford. In our Assem- bly program we had Professor Bullock of Lincoln Cniversity, to address us. if the members of the Club next year enjoy tin meetings as much as the members have this year. I am sure their club will be a great success. ROBERT MAHAN AVIATION CLUB The Aviation Club, which meets weekly, with Mrs. Wilde as the super- visor, has learned much in the line of aviation this year. Although there has been some mishaps in the weekly pro- grams—probably the most disastrous being the wreck of the club airplane— which, when hitting the ground, like a shoe dropped from the Washington monument, divided into several pieces. The wreckage was soon cleared by the boys, who ran to get parts of it to take home. Now, the plane is gone, but not forgotten. Since the discovery of Joe llogg's talent on tin mouth organ, we have often been entertained by him. at our meetings: also, believe it or not, Pic- colo Pete is one of the most active speech-makers of the Club. We, of the Aviation Club, have had fun as well as received new ideas about aviation, and we, the little Lindberghs, will receive more pointers before the end of the year about the important method of travel—Aviation. BOBBY WALKER, ’34 F. F. A. CLUB The boys met the last week in Aug- ust, 1920. and organized tin Oxford Local Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. Our first business was tin election of officers, which resulted as follows: President ........... John Ross Vice President ...... Leo Hawks Secretary .......... Robert Wiley Treasurer ........ Gerald Brabson The Club held its first meeting the third or fourth week of school. At this meeting tin President read the re- quirements for the different degrees in the (Mub. These degrees are: Green- hand, Future Farmer. Keystone Farm- er. We also decided on some of the activities, in which the club could take part during the year. Another important part of our Club work is Project Visitation Day. On this day we go around to tin homes of the different members and look over the work which each is doing in connec- tion with his project. This project is practical home work required as part of F. F. A. activities and also, of course, in Vocational Agriculture. We have also organized several Ath- letic teams. We have derived pleasure as well as benefit from our work The Charter, which was given to us by the state, is being framed and is to be hung on the wall of our room. The charter is inscribed with tin following names: John I). Ross. Robert Wiley, Leo Hawks, Charles Pugh, James Crowl, Joseph Crowl, George Reisler, William Guthrie, Maxton Webster, Herbert Hilaman. William Fredd, Kel- so Johnson. Gerald Brabson. Claude Shepherd. Signed, JOHN ROSS. ’32 49 THE KERNEL June, 1930 FRENCH CLUB Every Thursday afternoon this year our French Club has met in .Mile. Cros- san’s room to enjoy an hour of fun and work combined. We play games which, of course, are all in French, and in this way, we are learning to speak the language a little—at least, we can un- derstand it when others speak it. We also have interesting programs at these meetings. Different members describe the people, the habits, and the customs of France. Thus we are learning something of French people as well as their language. The French teacher and honorary president of our club, Mile. Crossan (who can speak French as fast as she can English, in fact, so fast sometimes that we cannot understand her) has gotten for us at different times slides of France. These slides contain pic- tures of the beautiful scenery of France, some of the picturesque moun- tain villages and summer resorts, and the ruins of the medieval castles of France which played important parts in the French Revolution. These pic- tures are interesting to us as well as instructive. The French Club has been a great benefit to us all in our study of French language; we are very grateful to Mile. Crossan for her efficient manage- ment of our Club If ELIZABETH V AN SA NT. ’31 SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club, organized for students interested in the various branches of Science, is composed of twelve members. The size of the club was diminished greatly soon after it was organized by the voluntary withdrawal of over three-fourths of the members whose in- terests lay outside the field of Science. The remaining little group, under the supervision of Miss 1’ugh. continu- ed to explore the mysteries of Science. The subject of Radio and Television has been studied. Many interesting slides from Harrisburg on this subject were shown during Club period. Some practical knowledge along this line was gained by working on some old radios. Moving pictures and other in- teresting subjects have been investi- gated. The Club is to be made one of the permanent clubs of the School, by means of a Constitution, which has been made and adopted. The officers are: President—George Molder Vice President—Barton Kent Secretary—Laurine McLaughlin Treasure r—.1 a m es Sumner J. CLYDE HEMPEN, ’30 DRAMATIC CLUB We, the “Ace of Clubs”, wish to say that we feel that the work done by us this year has been successful. At our first meeting the following officers were elected: President ....... Marcia Kelly Vice President Mary Louise Kirk Secretary ... Loretta Iloenninger Treasurer...... Lillian Passmore We decided to keep the name orig- inated by the club last year, the “Ace of Clubs”. We also decided to buy Club pins on which would be printed the Greek letters (Alpha. Omega Chi); the design would be the profile of a skull. Being called upon for an Assembly program, we took the opportunity of presenting two one-act plays; one of which would be chosen to be entered in the Chester County Drama Tourna- ment. which was held at West Chester. The plays were directed by Mrs. John Ramsey, whom we wish to thank for her kind help and interest. The first of these plays was “The Moonshiners”, a dialogue between a revenue officer, Harry Grier, and his captor, Lewis Jamison, who took the part of a southern moonshiner. “The Orange Colored Necktie” was the second and the chosen play. In presenting the plays at West Chester, individual medals for the best actor in each play were given. In the “Orange Colored Necktie', Jimmy Lund won the medal. ELIZABETH KELLY, ’32 51 THE HONOR CROI I� DECORATIVE CLUB THE ORANGE-COLORED NECKTIE “Aye, 'lis a color I do dole upon!” You are always hearing so much about this “Orange-Colored Necktie and you are probably wondering what it's all about.’ To begin with, it was a play, a comedy, in every true sense of the word; it was first presented in Chapel where it received thunderous applause for the very idiocy which it portrayed. The story is just this: Aunt Freda Godwin has given her nephew, Egbert Ilawkshaw, an orange colored tic. which originally belonged to Cncle Henry. Mrs. Ilawkshaw, de- testing the tie, throws it in the ash can, where Solomon the servant, finds it. As the Ilawkshaws are making prepara- tions for an evening out, Egbert in- sists upon wearing his favorite tie. Amid confusion and much searching for the “long lost , Solomon enters, proudly wearing the tic. Aunt Freda frantically demanding it, chases him from the house. A messenger boy 'ap- pears next on the scene, also proudly displaying the brilliant orange tic. After fruitless persuasion the messen- ger boy throws it away and Mrs. Ilawkshaw succeeds in procuring the tie. Such hopeful aspects are soon shat- tered with Aunt Freda's discovery that the tie is not Cncle Henry’s. After much “weeping end gnashing of teeth” Egbert finds the tie in his pocket. The curtain drops and all is well. The east of characters is as follows: Egbert Ilawkshaw.......Jimmie Lund Mrs. Ilawkshaw ......... Ruth Harding Aunt Freda ...... Loretta Hoenninger Solomon ............... Jack Ileiney Xorah ................. Lydia Yerkes Messenger ....................... Hob Hutchinson The business of the “Orange Colored Necktie” did not dispense with this Chapel presentation. A far greater event was being looked forward to and this was the Chester County Drama Tournament, in which Oxford's Dra- matic Club participated. On April second the play was pre- sented in the New Century Club of West Chester. No prize was won. but Jimmie Lund received a gold medal (which he will show you upon request) as a prize for the best individual act- ing. With this closes the immortal history of the “Orange Colored Neck- tie-’—never to be forgotten nor for- given. 53 SENIOR PLAY Again Oxford has been presented with a Senior play that was worth- while. The Class of .'10 put over “Peekaboo Lady” with a bang—and how! Audiences were delighted and tell us that it ranks with the best plays which were ever given in Oxford. Of course, there are reasons for that. In the first place, the play was a real clean comedy, full of good laughs from the start to the finish. In the second place, the parts were tilled by very capable people, who certainly gave a remarkable performanoe. The cast consisted of: Jimmie Lund, the clerk, who resorts to the use of a Charlie Chaplin make- up to fix things up for himself and Loretta Hoenninger, the girl who is visiting the Topple Inn with her aunt, Mary Louise ’Kirk, who hates all the men until along comes Lee Herr, and his long lost twin bro- ther. John Heiney, who has disinherited the young hero, his nephew. Comedy sketches were given by the Swedish maid, Beatrice Wig. Bits of modernity were added by Marcia Kelly and Virginia Bussell. A little love affair was carried on by Anne Ilindman and Tom Gillingham— quite realistically. A happy (?) reunion occurred for Clyde Reburn, an inventor and .Mar- garet Fitzgerald, the young (?) would- be poetess. Everything ended happily for all except Heiney, who was beaten in the battle for the aunt by Lee Herr, and who flashed daggers at Jimmie Lund. The third reason was the excellent coaching of Mrs. Wilde and Mr. Thompson, who patiently spent their time instructing the players. We, the Seniors, feel proud of our play and of our class-mates, who par- ticipated, and we wish to extend our thanks to all those who helped us in the venture. John Heiney: You’d better accept me. There aren’t many men of my type running loose. Loretta Hoenninger: No, you are right. That s what we have asylums for. 54 THE KERNEL June, 1930 WASHINGTON TRIP Bright and early, nine o'clock in fact, on April 30, the Seniors of Oxford and Union ville, deserted their home towns to spend the most enjoyable three days of their lives. Arriving in Washington, we were conveyed in two large sight-seeing busses for a tour about the city (which Mr. Thompson missed). We visited the Pan-American Build- ing. the Corcoran Art Gallery, the Red Cross Building, and the Lincoln Me- morial, after which we were taken to the Burlington Hotel, which was to be our “home”. After enjoying a delightful dinner, we visited the Congressional Library, where we viewed many tilings of note: afterwards going to the Palace The- atre. The following morning, we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Washington Monument, and the White House. After lunch, two busses took us to Alexandria via Arlington Cemetery. From Alexandria we went to ML Ver- non, by steamer. The evening being spent at pleasure of the party. After an all night party, minus sleep, we were almost unable to enjoy the planned trip to I tie Museum, the Fipli Commission, and Capitol, where we saw the House and Senate in ses- sion. After that, we hurried back to the hotel, quickly ate our lunch, packed and were off. Now it’s finished. Nothing is left but some souvenirs, which will never let us forget our Washington trip. PEG FITZGERALD JIMMIE LUND ALUMNI NOTES One of the most important and out- standing events of our school is the annual Alumni Banquet. This year it was of even greater importance, since it marked the 50th anniversary of our Alma Mater. This banquet was held April 19, in the Research Club House, and was attended by a large number of graduates of Oxford High and the Class of '30. Toasts were given by the following: Albert Kirk, toastmaster; Dora Pass- more read the history of the class of 1880, written by Mrs. Alexander; Mrs. Nesbitt 1890; Mrs. Hansen 1910; Grace Niewig Cope 1923; Miss Pugh 1925, and Thomas Gillingham of the graduating class. We are all interested in the pro- gress made by the former graduates, but we are sorry we cannot make mention of all. Alma Kirk ’24, is now teaching in a Friends’ School in Baltimore, Md. Kitty Johnson '24, has proven to be an efficient Secretary in Lincoln since her graduation. Harry Danner '25. Who would for- get Harry? He is employed in a large bank in Lansdowne. Jean Wilson and Ruth Kirk ’25. We just couldn’t expect to find these two separated, so they are still around the home town. Charles Kimble ’26. Charlie will graduate from Delaware College this year. Carolyn Martiiulale ’26. Carolyn is (piite a popular student at Sweet Briar College. She has also taken an interest in athletics and proves quite success- ful. Helen Ferguson '26, is now teaching in a little red school house, called Harmony School, in Lancaster County. Alice Drennen 27. ‘‘Al” is attend- ing Bucknell College, where she is majoring in Biology. Glenn Thompson '27. Gun loving Glenn is another banker. He works in the National Bank at Ridgley Park. Mary Oswald, '28. Star pupil of '28. is a student in Dickinson College. Fred Reburn ’28. Fred has com- pleted his course at Pierce and is planning to teach Commercial work next year. Joe Leeke '29, is attending Philadel- phia College of Pharmacy Science. “Reds” Grier ’29, is proving just as popular at Penn State as he did in the (). 11.
