Edited and Compiled by LAURA COLLINS Editor FRANCES CANNON JANET MASON Assistant Editors HERBERT FRETZ Business Manager THE KERNEL OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL O. H. S. 1936 VOLUME X Published Annually by the Seniors of the Oxford High School Oxford, Pennsylvania DEDICATION Because we have always loved, admired, and respected her; when the students were distressed, she lightened their burdens by her cheerfulness; we have all had the good fortune of contacting her and appreciating her sterling qualities, exemplified by her courage, honesty, and efficiency; we, the Seniors, believe it is fitting, and consider it a pleasure to dedicate this, the tenth edition of the Kernel, to MISS MARY A. ALLEN FOREWORD A St each day passes, we see only too clearly that the time is 2a rapidly approaching when we must all say our good-byes. — It is only natural that we, as a class, should want some sou- venir which in after years, when we are scattered from one anoth- er, will tend to remind us of those happy eventful days at Oxford High School. Xu preparing this volume of the Kernel for presentation to our fellow students, we have endeavored to keep the welfare of our school constantly in mind. It has been our aim to chronicle faith- fully the passing year and portray life as it is found at our school. In statistical matter our aim has been accuracy; in the literary features we have endeavored to bring up those little happenings that are laughable and grotesque. To the Students, faculty and business men, who have by their hearty support, inspired us to our best efforts the Staff makes its grateful acknowledgment. The Senior panels are arranged differently and the engravings have arched tops. We hope you will approve these innovations. If you. the students like the 1386 Kernel, we on the staff will fee! our efforts are well repaid by your appreciation. CONTENTS FACULTY CLASSES SCHOOL LIFE SPORTS A D VERT fS K M E N TS 1 ‘ ng r.

This is an achievement of which you can he proud. It places you in a selec- tive group, and along with this privilege go additional responsibilities. More has been given to you by your Creator in talents than to some others: furthermore, the com- munity in which you have been reared has given more of its resources to you. through providing for a higher education, than to some others who could or would not avail themselves of the opportunity, and conse- quently more will be expected and demand- ed of you in return. As I turn back the pages of time twelve years t your entrance into the first grade and my entrance into tlie duties and re- sponsibilities of my present position,— were both beginners then—I can clearly see that the conditions which you are about to face are changed considerably from what they were at that time. The social and economic system in which we live and work has grown and continues to grow more complex. The educational and technical re- quirements for entrance into anv trade or vocation are higher. L.et me be specific and show vou what I mean. At the time of which I speak, some girls graduated from this school and were appointed teachers in tiie rural schools near us. That situation no longer exists. Two years of training be- yond the high school is now the minimum standard. and few teachers are appointed who do not have a college degree. This stepping ut of the qualifications for per- forming all tvnes of work is general. As a result of this new condition, I should like to sav one thing to you very definitely Your future Is to a very large extent In your own hands. Allow me to impress upon you that you can have success: it is had daily by many; it is won chiefly by prepar- ing fjr it thoroughly. It is not a gift, from the gods—something to be handed to you— but it is a reward. Those who hold their positions. the first to be employed. and ordinarily the first to be promoted, are those who are best prepared. If success is your objective, rest assured that study, training, persistence. and de- cisive action are required NOW in the win- ning of it. + KERNEL -+• THE CLASS OF ’36 Colors—Blue, gold and silver Flower—Yellow tea rose Motto—“Live to learn, and learn to live' 19 3 6 -+- -+- -+- -4— KERNEL + + FOURTH YEAR CLASS HISTORY This class, composed of seventy-two members, is known as the Class of ’36. Away back in 11124 a small group of boys and girls left their peram- bulators behind them, but brought their mothers along, when they went to school the first day. Out of the number beginning their education that day, sixteen have gone through the grades, and reached the top, welcoming new students, and dropping others along the way. The largest number of new students arrived in 1032, when the present Senior Class were Freshmen. The class then numbered 110 students. We staged our first big event, the Freshman Party. Soon we were no longer greenies, we became Sophomores! We carried on the idea of giving a Sophomore Hop. initiated by the Class of ’$5, which was another big affair in our youthful eyes. The class rings and pins were selected that year. We became older—and likewise became Juniors. Early in the fall we received our coveted class rings and pins. It was then that we realized how trivial other dances were to the Junior Prom, and we took great pains with our Prom. Then—'Seniors, more new members joined our class, several left— but we totalled seventy-two. Our class was speedily organized. We resided in the Main Room, with Mr. Leib for our home room teacher. At class meetings our colors, motto and flower were decided upon. An invitation committee was appointed and several commencement invitations were put before the class for selections. Name cards were also selected. The class not only had members who ranked high scholastically, but many who engaged in extra-curricular events. Soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball and track beckoned many Seniors. Music interested others, the orchestra and choral society being the organizations they joined. We were proud of our champion debating team, and a Senior captained the negative squad. The Seniors sponsored the Library Dance, which was an innovation their last year at 0. II. S. Several members interested in journalism helped publish the school paper. Then there were those interested in dramatics and participated in “Junior Mask and Wig” plays; then the Senior play came along. The Senior Play Committee decided on “Daddy Long Legs” for their class play. Tryouts were held in February and the teachers selected the cast after tryouts were held. For the first time in the history of the school students who were taking their last year here were permitted to have a part in the play. The play was given at the Met Theatre, April 6 and 7. May 4. a and 6. many of the members took the trip to Washington. This annual trip was made by train. Mr. Burt and Miss Reeves accompanied us. The Seniors were then invited to attend the farewell party given by the Juniors, the Junior Prom. That night will ever be remembered as a pleasant and enjoyable one. Then comes Baccalaureate, Class Night and Commencement. All of the class have had days of work and days of fun; but all have worked with an eye toward the future, some preparing to enter business, and others to go on to college. There is no doubt that the class will go far on the road to success, for their motto is, “Live to learn, and learn to live.” —i— —4 — —4t— + —4.— 19 3 6 —4 — —4 — -4— -4— -4— -4— •+• -4— •+• KERNEL •+• -4— -4— 4— K1 AVARI) DEVON President Presenting Edward Devon, a quiet reserv- ed lad. who has won his way to the most honored of positions, the presidency of the Senior Class. Eddie's popularity can easily be deduced when one knows he swung the gavel three years, and was Vice President of his Freshman class. Eddie is a commercial student and a member of the Senior Dramatic Club, of which he is Vice President. Those who know him casuallv think of him as quiet and meek, but those who know him better find him sociable and always in a humorous frame of mind. Eddie managed the baseball squad this year. LA ERA COLLINS Secretary Thrice a class officer is only one of the many ways of proving this young lady's popularity. Laura also holds honors In scholastic ability, too. She has been an active member of the hockey and basketball squads, managing both sports during her senior year. Her in- terest in dramatics was shown by her being in the four past Christmas plays. The p - sition of Editor of The O. H. S. Tattler has capably been filled hv Laura for the past two years. The result of her aptitude was the coveted position of Editor of the Kernel . Laura is certain to go far in the world because of her versatile abilities, competency, ambitions, and her pleasing per- sonality. We wish her the best of success in any thing she undertakes. LEONARD SAVITCH Vice President A good sport, clean cut. smiling lad is Leonard Savltch. known throughout the school as the buoyant spirit of the Senior Class. To us he typifies a swell guy . His classmates have found in him a tru - pal full of enthusiasm and pep. Len took the acad- emic course. and his teachers have never found him scowling yet. Leonard is fond of sports and during his stay here managed the soccer and basket- ball squads and captained the champion O. H. S. Junior Varsity Basketball Squad. Len heads the Senior Dramatic Club, was past treasurer of the same organization, and is Vice President of the Athletic Asso- ciation. In our estimation. Len is the most likely to succeed of the Senior class. HAYDEN WOOI)WORTH Treasurer For the past four years this youth has been treasurer of the Class of 36. Hayd r “Goldie Woodworth, as known to all, is a typical athlete. For four years he has been breaking records as a member of the track team: he captained the s ccer squad this year, of which he was a member for the second time: he made the basketball and baseball squads also. Not only did Hayd go out for sports, but debating also held his interest. His fondness for dramatics is shown by the fact he was in the Operetta his Fresh- man year and has been in the past four Christmas pageants. He was also listed as a member of the Jr. Dramatic Horsemanship. Ping Pmg, and Sr. Dramatic Clubs. —4 — —4— —4 — •4 — •4 — —4 — 19 3 6 —4— —4— —4— —4 — 4 •4— -4— -+• KERNEL •+• 4— EDITH WINONA AYERS “Edie” E-nergetic W-illing A-miable “She hath a stern look, but a gentle heart” Sr. Dramatic Club I: Health Club II; Commercial Club III.

The play was the best received one in the past seven or eight years and won instant praise from the many spectators. Special credit is due the nineteen members of the cast who carried to perfection the roles assigned them, and to Mrs. Lila P. Wilde and J. Marshall Thompson, the coaches who trained them. The play, enacted in four acts, was taken from the hit novel, “Daddy Long Legs”, by Jean Webster. The scenes were laid in the dining-room of the John Grier Home on Trustees’ Day; Judy’s college study, a May afternoon one year later; the sitting-room at Lock Willow farm, summer three years later; Mr. Pendleton’s library, two months later.

Usually not more than ten percent of the graduating class is selected, as the marks must be somewhat similar and too big a drop between them must not be present. Bach year the meticulous task of selecting the honor group is in the hands of the principal. Each applicant’s marks are carefully gone over, and from them the valedictorian, salutatorian, and other honor students, are carefully selected. This year the valedictorian honors go to two girls, whose marks average the same, Laura Collins and Janet Mason. The salutatorian rank goes to Irene Christ. The four other members of this body are Eliza- beth Fitzgerald, Franklin Sumner, Martha Graver, and Carl Furniss. 19 3 6 KERNEL THE WASHINGTON TRIP Fortv-two Seniors, accompanied by Miss Ethel C. Reeves and Mr. Seth h. Burt, departed on the 8:55 for Washington, I). ('., May 4. The first stop enroute was the Pennsylvania Station, Philadelphia, when the cl a.sk boarded one of the new streamlined electric trains for the capitol city. The class rode in a private air-conditioned car, but enjoyed wander- ing from car to car, and especially, eating on the diner. Upon the arrival in Washington, D. C., the Seniors, with John Good as guide, went first to the United States Supreme Court Building, where they viewed the highest tribunal in action. On the way to the Capitol the Senior Group picture was taken on the lawn. While walking over to tlie Capitol from there, several members had the honor to converse with Representative Patton from Texas. At the Capitol, the class saw the Senate and the House of Representatives in session. A bus was then taken to the Medical Build- ing, Arts and Industry Building, Smithsonian Institute, and Aircraft Build- ing. After viewing the Natural History Building, the Seniors went on a sight seeing tour, including a stop at the Zoological Gardens. The class then went to the Burlington Hotel, where they stayed during the trip. In the evening they saw the Congressional Library, and then were free the rest of the evening. Tuesday, after breakfast, they were transferred to the Academy of Science, D. A. R. Building and Red Cross Building. The Pan American Building and Corcoran Art Gallery were then visited, after which the class visited the White House. Luncheon was taken at the hotel and the Group proceeded to the Arlington National Cemetery. While there they inspected the home of Robert E. Lee, and saw the tombs of the unknown soldiers of the Civil and World Wars. At the tomb of the unknown soldier the class placed a wreath on the grave and an impressive service was rendered. The rest of that af- ternoon was spent in Alexandria, Mt. Vernon and at the Lincoln Memorial. The evening was free and most of the class went to Glen Echo Park. Wednesday morning, the class ascended the Washington Monument and then walked to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Bureau of Fisheries, and New Museum. After luncheon at the hotel the class went to the Union Station, and arrived in Oxford at (5:30, after three glorious days at the Na- tion’s Capitol. 4 KERNEL 4 4 4— •4 — •4— -4— — 4 — WASHINGTON OR B BIS SHOTS i? . 60 0) ‘ 55 beeves DOW V at Tttfc ST-ATIO N ONE Bitf- 4A?TY FAaAI -.

They were assigned to the home rooms with Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Wilde as home-room teachers. In (he middle of September the annual class meeting was held to organ- ize the class. The following members were elected: President—Michael Reid Secretary—Christine Taylor Vice-President—-Jean Andress Treasurer—John Moore From that day on they strode to make their class the best. One of the biggest events of the year would be, of course, getting their class rings and pins. Many hours were spent in deciding which style to buy. Michael Reid was chairman. They chose a yellow gold ring with a black onyx setting. Many of the members were active in sports during the year. Those of the girls to receive letters for hockey are: Helen Gray, Alice Jlagv, Evelyn Deaver and Dorothy Kirk. The Junior class was represented in basketball by Elsie Winchester, Alice Hagy, and Helen Gray. Louise Twyford acted as assistant manager. On the soccer team we had Joe McFadden, Michael Reid and Marvin Warfel. The Junior class was well represented in the debating team. Those de- bating were Celeste Sopher, Teddy Sonnenberg, Xancy McFadden, Frances Rich, and -Michael Reid. Oxford debaters won the championship of Chester County, the Southern District, and stood second in the State. The biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom. Everyone worked hard to make this Prom the best one. The date it was held was May 15. We, the Class of ’37, take this opportunity to bid farewell to the Sen- iors. To thank them for the splendid example they have set before us, and wish them success in their careers. — •— —♦— — •— 19 3 6 —+— ——4— -t- — ♦ Finit How: M. Steenland, K. McCool, B. Frampton, E.

II. S. At the first meeting of the class as a whole the following officers were elected: President—Paul Jamison Secretary—Earl Woodworth ice-President—Betty Grim Treasurer—‘Margaret Boss A second class meeting was held for the purpose of discussing our Soph- omore Hop and electing chairmen for the committees. The date was set for March 6, and the following chairmen were elected: Refreshment—Jean Holton Invitation—Saul Savitch Orchestra—Ilelcnc Devon %)ecoration—Betty Grim Because of the proximity of St. Patrick’s Day, green and white were used for the color scheme in decorating the gym, with hats, pipes and sham- rocks everywhere. The class members and their guests danced to the music of Gochaneur’s Orchestra. A delightful intermission was enjoyed over the refreshment table. Our Sophomores seem to have a great deal of athletic ability, as shown by the fact, that all athletic teams have a large representation of Sophomores on them. Helene Devon captained the Varsity hockey and basketball squads. Marian Bea, Jinny Passmore, Jean Ilolton played on the Junior Varsity Hockey and the Basketball teams. Betty Grim played on the reserve hockey squad. Ethel Johnson and Helen Crowl were on the Varsity basketball squad. The boys also had many representatives. On the boys’ squads were Paul Jamison. Harry Fleischman, Shine Johnson, Henry Russell, Earl Woodworth, George Bea, Cheyney Wilson and Saul Savitch. Jinny Passmore, a Sophomore, is one of the cheer leaders of 0. II. S. We are very proud of the fact that two of our Sophomores, Jean Ilolton and Gerald Leib, were selected from the High School Orchestra to play in the Southeastern District Band. Two members of our class, Nancy Deaver and Betty Grim, were on the debating team this year. The members of the Class of ’38 extend to the Class of ’36 heartiest wishes for a happy and successful future. -4— -4— -4— t i I 4 ♦ + ♦ I + ♦ I •fr vO O' ♦ f 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ + ♦ t t + ♦ Mel rath, 13.

Miss Russell and Mr. ( ronthamel. Soon after the school term had started the class had a meeting in the gymnasium to elect officers for the coming year. The officers are: President—Shirley Woodworth Secretary—Norman Howett Vice-Pres.-—Richard Brunner Treasurer—Elsie Spencer At this meeting the class selected blue and gold for its class colors, and the yellow rose as its class flower. The most important event of the year to tliis class was the Freshman Party, held October 25, in the gymnasium. The Freshmen and their guests came masked to this affair and prizes were awarded to Shirley Woodworth, Taylor Algard, and Dorothy Simpers. After the Grand March the dancing began to the syncopation of Laird Morris’ orchestra. President, Shirley Woodworth welcomed the guests. The party continued until 11:30 o’clock. The committees rendering this affair so delightful were: Decoration Committee Agnes Alderdice—Chairman Fred Rhodewalt- John Pinno Eleanor Kauffman Betty Dickinson Entertainment Committee Iolean Boyle Madelyn Alexander Evelyn Ewing Mildred Smith Refreshment Committee Wilmer Webster Helen Atchley Joseph Bailey Maxine Alexander In inlcrscholastic games the Freshmen have been very successful. The girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were the Junior High champs. The Freshman boys and girls have several very active members placed on athletic squads. 'Norman Howett played Varsity soccer; Mildred Smith, Agnes Alderdice, and Iolean Boyle made the Junior Varsity hockey squad; Nola Farmer swam on the girls’ swimming team at the Coatesville meet. Eleanor Kauffman is one of the cheer-leaders. The orchestra also claims several Freshman pupils: namely, Weldon Ragsdale, Joseph Bailey, and Helen Kidglev. The Junior High Assembly program was opened by Miss Reeves’ home room, when they presented “The Dyspeptic Ogre”, by Percival Wilde. Howard Brown, Helen Ridgley, Eleanor Kauffman. Muriel Xieweg, Robert Coffman, Ruth Benjamin, Maxine Alexander, Joe Bailey, William Moore, and Lloyd Miller enacted roles in this short drama. This year our lessons were somewhat on a different order from what we have experienced in the grades. There were many subjects from which we could select our course, and the class has four types of students:—the com- mercial. the academic, the agricultural, and the home economic. We. the Freshman Class of ’35-3(5” wish the Seniors the very best of luck in their future work. -4— -4— 1936 —4— — 4 — -4— + ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ t m x 2 m r + ♦ t ♦ First How: Miss Kussell. R. dray, l.

The Eighth Grade girls defeated the Seventh Grade team in hockey, but lost to them in basketball. The Eighth Grade is proud of its members showing on the honor roll. There are eleven Eighth Graders who have not been late or absent this year. On February twenty-first the Eighth Grade brought much applause and laughter in Assembly, when they presented a minstrel show. This show was the first of its kind to he given in Assembly and was directed by Mr. Coates. The annual Seventh and Eighth Grade Party was held April ‘1 in the school gym. The program consisted of games, dancing, and cards. The en- tertainment was provided by pupils from both grades. The Eighth Grade pupils have enjoyed the year under the leadership of Mr. Coates, and before the school term closes wish the best of luck to the Seniors.

Through the winter months it has been most interesting watching the growth of the garden and seeing blooms and tiny berries develop. When weather became unfit for outdoor work several hours were spent in making plaster paris moulds for mounting specimens of insects and in reading and making a study of animals having unusual and interesting lile habits. In the spring, field trips were taken for the purpose of identifying birds, trees and common flowering plants and collecting specimens.

Clark ORCHESTRA The Orchestra Club is sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Twining for the pur- pose of finding and developing the talents of those interested in music. That a greater number of the Oxford students are interested in music is shown by the fact that the membership at the close of the year has increas- ed to twenty-eight pupils. This is the largest number that has ever joined the Oxford High Stdiool Orchestra. The Club lias supplied musical entertainment for the High School As- sembly, Parent-Teachers’ Association, Senior Play, Coatesville Veterans’ Hospital, and Debating League meetings. The school is very proud of the fact that four members of the Orchestra Club were qualified to play in the Southeastern District Band. This Band is sponsored by the Southeastern Pennsylvania School Music Association. Two concerts were given, one at Berwyn and the other at Schoolmen’s Week at the University of Penn- sylvania.

JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB lhi. club started the school year with thirty members under the direc- tion of Miss Martha Russell. The election of officers resulted as follows: 1 he aim of the club is to bring out talents of the club members and give those pupils a chance to develop them in plays given during the year. At each meeting entertainment was provided and refreshments were sometimes served. During the year two plays were enacted, “The Dressing Gown” and Case of Suspension.” “The Dressing Gown”, which was presented in as- sembly. received much applause. Although only amateurs, the members hope the club will further dra- matic appreciation and ability. All of the members think their time has been m iseh spent and thank Miss Russell for her instruction.

The club was small this year, but it gave everybody a chance to take part. Under the supervision of Miss Allen the club has prospered greatly. The annual entertainment of the Commercial Club consisted of two plays and music furnished by members of the club. The plays were “Bachelors Reverie” and “Enterprising Oswald.” The money made from the plays was used to buy equipment for the Commercial Department of the school. The club published a newspaper three times during the year for tin members. The name of the papers was “Comargosy”, meaning a commercial argosy. The editor was Helen Stroud. We hope the club will prosper in the future and that more people will take an interest in club work of this kind.

Miss Reeves was advisor for the Latin Club, and because so many were in- terested in French, the French Club was also formed. Each club carried on is own work separately during the club period. The Latin Club had two aims, namely—to teach the members something of the customs and ideals of ancient Rome, and the influence that the Romans have had upon civilization; to improve the English speech by studying deriv- ations and their use. Each member contributed to a joint scrapbook, consisting of clippings, pictures, derivatives, etc. There were a number of books read by the mem- bers outside of club hours—books on mythology, Roman home life, art, and novels concerning the social life in Rome. The French Club was organized for the purpose of helping students to speak nd read French more fluently, to correspond with students living in France, and to learn about the customs of the French people. Each member of the club has a “Le Petit Journal’', an interesting French newspaper, and has learned much from its contents. During the club period, several French songs were learned, among them, “Marseillaise , and “Quand Madelon President—Laura M.

You....the Graduate Congratulations are due you for successfully placing another obstacle behind you. With our congratulations we combine the hope that you and your generation may more ably cope with life’s problems than your predecessors. May you accept that which experience has taught older heads with the conviction that upon the old may be founded the improve- ments and advances of the new. This would be a dreary existence if we could not expect youth periodically to take its place in the world’s affairs. We look to you with hope for the future. Idealism, courage, tol- erance, charity, vision and industry are qual- ities fresh in you with which you are expected to attack an increasingly complex civilization. They are the qualities with which your elders hope you will rise above the recurring rebuffs of an apparently hostile world. Our congratulations for and our hopes to- YOU!
