'Twas there we learned arithmetic: The thought, we hope, will ever stick: That, here among these battlements, XVe overcame the rudiments. The years rolled by-as Freshman members XVe plumbed the depths of Latin genders, And sought to find the unknown And sought to know the unknown sex. The study hall, the library girl, The ever present absence slip. The forced grin at teacher's quip, The ringing of the buzzer, too, These all we lived and saw and knew. Hail Seniors, hear the lastest bell! It's ringing out-Hail and Farewell! And know you now for ever and aye As carefree hours, their end draws near.

The General Organization, in its eleventh year of supervising school activities, showed a renewed zeal by attaining a membership estimated at 902 of the student body. The oflicers for the first semes- ter were: Kaye Wagner, President-Rosemary Accola, Vice-President- Nancy Miller, Secretary-Beverly Nash, Treasurer, and for the second semester: Bob Jordon, President-joan Szold, Vice-President-janet Goeltz, Secretary-Janet Hanson, Treasurer. The regular club program was marked this year by enlarged en- rollments and by the many varied enterprises undertaken. The Ex- plorers Club, under the leadership of Miss Sugnet and Mrs. Mayer, won the celebrated Gerard Swope Award of twenty-five dollars for the best project on Westchester County completed by a school in the county. As a part of its regular program, the club visited many sights of interest including Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Old Dutch Church, the Van Cortlandt Mansion, and the Thomas Paine Memorial House and Museum. The Dramatic Club, aided by the Glee Club, presented for its an- nual Christmas play The Littlest Shepherd which featured a beauti- ful tableau of the Holy Family. The junior High paper, the Pel Pen, whose editor was Nancy Carton, published three issues each se- mester, while the Cooking and Camera Clubs found much favor among the devotees of those useful hobbies. More than three hundred students took part in the diverse activi- ties offered by the physical education department under Miss Rowe and Mr. La Barre. Touch-football, basketball, baseball, badminton, and ping pong were popular with the boys, whereas the girls took part in soccer, basketball, service ball, riding, skating, and swimming. The Senior High School wishes to express its appreciation for the support given by the junior High students to the movies, the plays, and the Carnival and extends a cordial welcome to the one hundred and fifty incoming Sophomores. 44 Here and There Witl1 the Junior High :XR K, 1 'ff Vs H Q Q - - .sv '.

Dailey I Ass1s'1'AN'r '1'RiQAsuRER: Pofrtffr VViggz'ns THE General Organization was founded on the democratic ideal of a representative form of government. It gives to the students themselves an opportunity to manage the business of the school and to govern the aifairs of all of the extra-curricular activities under the auspices of the organization. The year 1939-.10 has been one of the most successful in the history of Pelham High School. In the September G. O. ticket sales, nearly 52 l every student rallied to the call for support in such a way that almost one hundred per cent G. O. membership was attained. The trend toward greater interest and cooperation in the activities of the school, which was so well started last year, has been even more manifest this year. This General Organization leaves behind it the largest surplus in the treasury that the school has ever had. The social activities, as well as furnishing much enjoyment to students and friends of the school, have yielded large returns to the treasury. This year a new feature was adopted by the General Organization. The need for order in the halls of the building and on the athletic field was feltg therefore, the student council organized a traffic squad, which is on duty at all times during the passing of classes, to maintain order. The Traffic Squad, with Willard Graham as its chairman, has func- tioned efhciently, and has been a credit to the school. The charters of two new clubs have been approved by the Execu- tive Council this year. A Bridge Club was organized under the direc- tion of Mrs. Derr and a Model Railroad Club was also given a constitu- tion. The latter, under the advisership of Mr. Fregans, will construct its models so that they will be permanent. Once again the boys of homeroom 235 staged a most successful carnival. Four girls' homerooms sponsored two stag dances both ol which were well attended. Another new presentation, which was en- thusiastically supported by the student body, was a movie show. The General Organization under the capable leadership of Chat Blakeman, the president, has gone far in upholding the ideals of loy- alty and friendship in the school. There has been a fine sense of coop- eration and interest displayed in every new undertaking of the body. Assisting the president, were junius Stephenson, vice-presidentg Lucile Wilson, secretary, William Daley, treasurerg and Porter Wfiggins, as- sistant-treasurer. Miss Rockefeller and Mr. Moore were the faculty advisers through whose invaluable guidance much of the success of the year was made possible. 53 1 ggi' 3 X T WOSVO sz- J 'uf ff 6 K bf 'J va ZW 'Vin' ey' fi 0 C k av I I db ilkesimixrz 1'lTIllI,CI'S Ingalls VICE-l'RESlDEN'l'I flarry 111110071 I B u S k 1 n s15cRe'rARv: ,lane Sclzillifng l d'fHlS year Sock and Buskin instituted niany progressive changes. The old system of try outs was abandonedg now anyone may join the club provided he is willing to work on soine connnittee. on stage crew, or 1 ? in the acting department. Even though Sock and Buskin is the largest my 343 l -' W t gg 7323 Oclub in the school, there are more than enough tasks to keep ex eiyonc C5 busy. The fall production, The Star W!lgtJ7I,, one of the inost delight- ful plays given in years. was the result of the splendid cooperation ol' the entire organization. The spring play, lflflmf Il I,ij'e.', successfully revived an old idea-that of starting out with two complete casts. the final participants in the play to be selected by the actors themselves. together with the director, Mr. Scott. Besides these two big productions, the club undertook a series of three one act plays presented for the patrons and friends of Sock and Buskin. These invitation performances not only aroused greatei interest in the club, but also gave inany niore inenibers an opportunity to display their talents. It is hoped that in the future Sock and Buskin will continue to add new ideas to its time-honored and traditional CUSKOHIS. 9 .M- 9 fi LL fx l u i S HQ, Q5- 1 .4 , Lil Q. K A 5,4-Z' il fi .

It has received hearty student sup- port, as its membership of thirty musicians has increased fifty per cent over that of last year. The orchestra has again and again proved its faithfulness to the school by performing at the weekly assemblies and at the Sock and Buskin plays. Both of these duties required arduous Work on the part of every person in the orchestra, and the student body wishes to make its sincere gratitude to them known. The Band AS usual, the Band of the Pelham Memorial High School, with Mr. Fregans directing, proved itself indispensable to the students in more Ways than one. Faithfully it has played at the football games, and it is agreed that the intermissions at these games would be exceedingly dull if it were not for the Band's excellent rendition of popular march tu11CS. This year, as in other years, the Band will be a vital part of the annual Memorial Day Parade. The Band is to be congratulated on its splendid work during the school year, and the students wish it the best of luck for the future. The Chorus PRESIDENT: Helen Kuschmamz SECRETARY! Frances Petersen AN innovation in the Music Department this year is the High School Chorus, directed by Miss Hughes. Its primary purposes are to develop the voices of its seventy-odd members and to increase the popularity and enjoyment of part singing. The chorus awards its members one unit of credit toward graduation if they have attended chorus meetings ninety minutes a week, for four years. The chorus is assured success by its tremendous popularity, and its continued existence for years to come is guaranteed by a music-loving student body. 57 Eurrou-IN-C11lm-': fldllffl' l,e'yff11df'rl.r 1 s1'oR'rs Eorrokz llanzes IVIcGowfH1 Bus1N1-:ss MANAGER: Plzillijz Kim ep DURING this past year, the Pel Mel, with an unusually large talented staff of thirty-eight, has had one of the most successful years in its history. XVith Marie Leyendecker as editor-in-chief, and Mr. Lacey as ad- viser. the Pel Mel has added many new features and has made many changes. The Pel Nlel Oh's were dropped, the type size was changed, more pictures were added, and many regular columns, such as Arthur lCgan's Daily XVorker and Ruth NVell's Ulnquiring Reporter be- came Very popular. The sports page edited by .lames Mctkoyern has also been one of the best features ol' the paper. Under the capable management of Phillip Knapp, the business staff has taken care of the financial end of the paper with great compe- tence. Because of the success in obtaining ads, it was possible to print the customary twelve issues. This year. as in previous years, the Pel Mel has been a true barome- ter of student opinion and activity. A mailbox for letters has increased the students' opportunities to voice theirusuggestions. Although the majority of the staff is graduating. we feel confident that the Pel Nlel will keep on attaining new goals. l'RliSllJliN'l'2 R1iC'lIIl'l'Ii1011115011 , sticzkirmkvz PlIf7'fl'l.Il E1'er111111111 I 'tiki-1.-xsuRr:R: VV1'lI1'11n11 Daley 'l'HlC honor society of Knight and Lamp, in its fifteenth year ol service to the school and to its members, continues to be the cherished goal ol. every aspiring student in Pelham Memorial High School. Recognition is given to the students who are most active in school activities as well as to those who excel in scholarship. Any second semester junior or any senior who maintains a B average or better lor one semester and gains an adviser's recommendation for exceptional work in a school activity is considered by the club lor membership. Membership is granted automatically in three dillerent ways: lor ll semester average of A, for a semester record ol' three A's and ll li. plus an adviser's recommendation or plus five points gained in extra-curric- ular activities. During the year, Knight and Lamp members served as guides lor the Adult liducation School, and established a noon-hour study hall lor the benefit of students who wished to work at that lime. 'llhe high- lights of the season were the two hilarious. yet impressive initiations and the Knight and Lamp May picnic. A record number ol twenty-seven students became members at the February initiation. The faculty advisers were Mr. Fregans. Miss Rockefeller and Miss Peik. 59 l'RliSIlJIiN'l'I A'fIIlVI'l'X'lI SI'!Il'Uf'I1z l' VICE-I'RliSllDliN'l'I C,'l1r1rl1f.s 1 Ifjx':1r SIQCRLLTARY: 'l'l1f'0fl0m 1fIlll!'0f'lx' 1'Rxc,xs1'R1ak: William flmlmm l'R1QSllJliN'l'I I m11f'f's Mimlufllzf vlczlc-1-mas!mf,x'1': Him Xagrlslzfil sl-3cAR11'r,-xR11cs: 1'-IIHIIIY Dr' I 1'll1'j1o .Yan JVM 1'k1Q.Axsl'R1ck: A 1flI4jfll'f1' lfurmr c:Al 1'Alx: Willzzrrl Gmlmnz sECRR'l'ARY: 1,llfl'l.l'fIl ffl-f'l'HIfIIlll French Club THE Cercle Francais, under the leadership of Mr. VVinter as faculty adviser, is divided into three sections-journalistic, dramatic and travel, supervised by Mr. YV inter, Miss Sherman and Mr. Eddy, respectively. The membership of the club this year was small, due to the abun- dance of extra-curricular activities, but in spite of that, the sections were very active, especially the journalistic section. One of the best editions ever published of the club newspaper Miroir Memorial was put out in the beginning of the year, and regu- lar well-planned editions, with contributions from all members, followed. A French movie Sans Famille was presented for the second, third and fourth year French students and was well attended. The Commercial Club THE Commercial Club has done an excellent job this year in promot- ing the interest of commercial students in the progress of their work. The members have been working for the honors awarded by the Gregg Writer, a shorthand magazine. These certificates are awarded for prog- ress in work on the basis of monthly tests. The club magazine, Commercial Comments, was issued twice last year and found praise for the well-organized editions. This magazine is put out by the club as a whole, each member doing a part of the work. The club, under the leadership of Miss Schimel as faculty adviser, was composed of ten members the first semester, and sixteen the sec- ond, all of whom were girls, although boys are eligible to join. Traflic Squad WHEN the Traffic Squad came into existence this year, a great advance toward the smoother running of the school was made. Under the firm hand of the Traflic Squad, the noise and confusion in the corridors has been done away with. Composed entirely of volunteers, serving for a whole semester, the new squad of twenty-seven, captained by Willard Graham and under the supervision of Miss Rockefeller and Mr. Moore, has worked hard to maintain law and order. These monitors remind pupils not to break the senior high's policy of No running, no loitering, no whistling, and no shouting inside the school building. Since the squad has performed its duty so well, each member is worthy of receiving his award, a blue and white enameled pin. 61 N, O, xy A A l ' v 1'R1as11m1cN'1': li11f'gff111 l ffIlIllxQYlll sr:c:R141'1',1xRY: 1'.l'IlIlI'f'S Sf'l111lzf' Nngyp l'RliSIl?lCN'l'I IV1ll1'11111 fL1'11!111111 VICIQ-l'RlCSIllliN'l'Z fIf'111'gf' C1151 s1Qc1R1c'1'ARY: .l11111f'.v T1V11l.s'o11 '1'R1cAs1v1uc1z: V1111'1 11l llnylz' l'R1as1111cN'1': lIl1111'l1',w lxlUIl'r l' vlcli-1-R1is11mr7ix'1': 1f0llf'I'f 1.111101 s1im:1a1a1pxRx': I.11111'.v lX'l'Il.S'f' Chess Club FIRMLY established as one of Pelham's extra-curricular activities, the Chess Club continues as a source of enjoyment to its members. Ably headed by Eugene Flanagan as president and Frances Schulze as secretary, the team composed of Q15 Ed Voneiff, 12D Eugene Flana- gan, Elliot Schmidt, MQ Don Mela, jack Voneiff and Michael Dacquisto, substitute, has met several opponents in Westchester County. The club has lost four and won four of their matches and because of Ed Voneiff, the strongest player, has high hopes for the future. The organization continues to thrive in the Westchester County Interscholastic Chess League, of which Eugene Flanagan is secretary. Mr. Brunt, as the adviser, is to be commended highly for his serv- ice and advice to the club which meets regularly once a week. Debating Club IN 1938 the Debating Club was discontinued because of the state's compulsory athletic program, but this year it was revived with a very enthusiastic membership. The past year has offered the Debating Club many serious topics to choose from. The interests of its eleven mem- bers seem to have been divided equally between politics and school life. Good delivery, however, as well as wise choice of subject matter has been stressed. With the able assistance of their faculty adviser, Mr. Dunlap, the club hopes, in the near future, to arrange some interscholastic debates and assembly programs. Model Railroad Club THE NEWEST addition to the Pelham High School club program is the Model Railroad Club which was organized in February under the supervision of Mr. Fregans. This new organization, whose mem- bership is limited to twelve students, devotes its time to the construction of scale models of twentieth century trains. After the school had granted the club the use of an empty supply room, the members set hard to work and within a month, more than seventy-five feet of track had been laid on a forty-inch platform. The president, Charles Mower, presided over the business meet- ings which were held regularly on Fridays. Plans were made for field trips to various locomotive works and roundhouses, in order that the members might gain a first-hand view of modern railroading. 63 Football Won 5 Lo t 2 IN 1939, the Pelicans rebounded from a disastrous '38 gridiron cam- paign, and the school can once again boast of an eleven that scrapped on even terms with the best in its class. XVith Coach Schilling once more directing affairs, the team won five and lost two games. The help of Assistant Coach Neely was also an invaluable contribution to this excellent showing. In the season's opener, Pelham lost 12-o to Nt. St. Michael's ex- perienced team. Not at all discouraged, the Pelicans then ran off a five game winning streak, in which Scarsdale, Mamaroneck. liastchester, Tuckahoe and Peekskill bowed without scoring. The best ol' these games was the 7-o triumph over Mamaroneck, a fiercely played contest in which the Pelham team outfought its adversary for a well-earned vic- tory. Unfortunately, De Fillipo, key man of the backlield, was injured in the Peekskill game and unable to play against Pleasantville. This handicap to Pelham, combined with much fumbling and a stout Pan- ther defense. enabled the Panthers to eke out a 3-o triumph in the final game of the year. To the work of the line and the heroic backing up of De Fillipo goes the credit for a great defense which permitted only two touch- downs all year. On the offense, the long runs of Dick Johnson were at feature. The whole varsity team is leaving school this year, so next fall Coach Schilling will have to rely on reserves and new material. asketball Won 1 1 Lo THE 1939-,111 basketball team, in winning eleven games and losing live. did as well as could be expected ol' a team which started the seaso11 with only one letter111a11 from the preceding year. The team defeated the opponents in its own class and lost only to very strong opposition. Two victories were gained over Eastchester. Harrison. Bellows. Pleasantville, and Tuckahoe, while one win was scored against XVhite Plains. The XVhite Plains QHIIIC, which was played at the County Cen- ter resulted in a thrilling last 111im1te I9-18 triumph. Single games were lost to New Rochelle, undefeated Yonkers Central a11d Sacred Heart, and a double setback was suffered at the hands of Saunders Trade School. The Schilling coached team outscored its opponents 5711 to .157 points, averaging 33:1 points per game. Captain Ellie Devine led the Pelham scorers with 152 points while Dick Johnson and jack Schnieder finished with 83 and 66 points respectively. The junior Varsity played through a lilteen game schedule with a final record of te11 wi11s and five losses. At the conclusion oi' the season, Bob Hawthorne was elected as captain of the 19110-.11 lC2lIIl. Although only Hawthorne, Kavanaugh, and O'Rourke ol' this year's lettermen will return next year, Pelha111 should be well represented on the court since there are several promis- ing Jayvees who should do much toward maintaining Pelham's bas- ketball prestige. aseball THE 1939 varsity baseball team was one of the strongest that has repre- sented this school in recent years. Although greenness handicapped the team in several of its early games, a fine record of ten victories as against six defeats was compiled by the diamond Pelicans. The team was fairly proficient at the plate, finishing with a com- bined batting average of .289 The team was fortunate in having in De Fillipo, Kearney, and Ricci, three good pitchers, each of whom pitched several low-hit games. Ricci's one-hitter against Rye was espe- cially line. Most noteworthy were the two victories over Mt. St. Michaels, Champions of the Bronx, and Westchester Catholic High School League. This year '6Pop LaBarre will coach the team, relieving Coach Schilling, under whom a steady string of winning teams has played. The former will face a serious problem in the pitching stall for only Schuster, who pitched and won his only start against Scarsdale, and Mc- Govern, who did some Junior Varsity pitching, remain of last year's staff. The remainder of the club shapes up well, however, with letter- men returning at seven of the positions, and hopes for a creditable sea- son run high. rack AN undefeated team has become a yearly fixture at Pelham High School, for the 1939 squad was the fifth straight undefeated track team to be coached here by Mr. Lacey. This was the highest scoring team of all, rolling up 320 points to its opponents' 149 for an average meet score of 64 to go. XVhile the squad did not have the individual stars of other years, it was much bet- ter balanced, showing strength in every event. The team easily beat Horace Mann, Hackley, and Rye, scoring over 'yo points in each of these meets. Yonkers Central also gave no trouble, bowing 48-33. In the meet against Peekskill, Champions ol' the Hudson Valley League, however. it looked for a while as if the team would suifer its first defeat in live years, but the team rallied and came from behind to win 57-38. One record was broken when Bob Rose raced to a 2115.9 half mile at Peekskill and YVallace McMillan ran the second fastest 220 in the history of the school when he was caught in 22.8 seconds at Yonkers. This year the team has lost Captain Russillo, Durham, McMillan and Bates, but it is hoped their places can be filled by new material. Cross-Countr Won 2 Lost 2 THE 1939 Cross-Country team differed from its predecessors in two important points: first, in size, and second, i11 spirit. At the beginning of the season, only nine runners reported for practice. Since this was too few, Coach Wlinter made an appeal for more candidates. The response was most generous and soon twenty- five men had been added to the squad. Due to a state law, however, the second group of runners was unable to participate in the first IIICCK, which was lost to Greenwich 31-24. The next meet against De La Salle, Catholic High School Champions of New York, also was lost 40-15. The squad, nevertheless, trained hard with line spirit, and re- ceived its reward when it beat Hendrik Hudson 27-28. Nlanhattan Prep lost 2 5-30 to Pelham, even though the Hrst two places were taken by Manhattan Prep runners, for Pelham took the next eight places. Captain Gray led the team with a iinishing average of 2.25. W'il- cox and Mela had averages of 2.50, and Daley with 4.00 and NVilliams with 5.00 completed the first five men. More runners scored points this year than have ever tallied in any previous year. Toward the end of the season the squad looked very strong, and since the losses by graduation will be light, indicatio11s are that a line season is in the oiling for next fall. wimming Won 4 Lost IN spite of the fact that it was severely handicapped by a shortage of strong reserves, this year's swimming team was one of Westchester County's better squads. The season showed a final dual meet record of four wins and five defeats, but in all fairness to the team it should be pointed out that two of the losses, those to Peekskill and A. B. Davis, were reversed later in the season. Only against the powerful New Rochelle and Nyack tank- men was Pelham definitely outclassed, while a close meet was dropped to Peekskill Military Academy. Both the Mamaroneck and Saunders Trade teams were defeated in dual meets. In the County Champion- ships, the Pelicans failed to do as well as had been hoped, finishing in fourth place, but only four points behind the second place school. Two school records were broken this year by Bob Smith, who swam the loo yard free style in 1:o2.3 and the 22o in 2:48. Don Mela was the year's highest individual scorer with John Kreuter and Bob Smith close behind. Only Mela and this year's captain, Don McGovern will be lost to next year's squad, but new material can be used in every event. The swimming team is coached by XValt Littlefield of the New Rochelle and by Mr. Cripps, the faculty adviser. Tennis SPURRED on by the records made by the Pelham teams of the previ- ous two years, each of which dropped but one match, the 1939 tennis team crashed through to the first undefeated tennis season in the school's history. Playing against the best Class A school court powers in Westchester County and Connecticut, Coach George Miller's charges swept through an eleven match schedule, without a loss. The feature of the year's play was the thrilling 3-2 win over New Rochelle. This was an especially sweet victory since the Huguenots had for two years running ruined Pelham's bids for unbeaten seasons. The team's fine balance enabled it to come from behind to take several of the important matches. At the close of school, the Pelican netmen carried off the county interscholastic tournament in a most sensational fashion. Fred Krais defeated Dick johnson in the finals to win the singles crown, while Johnson and George Kennedy were runners-up in the doubles. Fol- lowing this, Krais, johnson, and Kennedy played in the National Inter- scholastic Tournament in Philadelphia. Krais further added to Pel- ham's tennis laurels by his victory in the National Interscholastic Indoor Doubles in New York in December. WV ith all four of last year's lettermen, Krais, Kennedy, Johnson, and Graham returning this year, along with several talented reserves, Henneman, Sasser, Morrow, Robb, and Quinn, Pelham should make another fine showing on the courts. Pcll1z1m's Athletes Are Cootl Fellows and Good Sports I a ff f igs irls' Hockey .iff f ft? if .sf YVHEN the hockey notice was posted this fall, ninety-eight girls respond- ed. Soon, under Miss Chappel's coaching. six intramural teams were forined, captained by Helen Kuschniann, Marion Crunnn, Betty Szold, Patricia Eierniaun, Dorothy Beuttell, and Eileen Stephenson. After a thrilling season. the laurel wreath of victory went to Captain Stephen- son's ICHIII. The varsity consisted of thirty carefully selected girls captained by Helen Kuschniann. Ann Shields was captain of the second teani. Because of the inclement weather this year, the Honor Squad was able to play only two gaines. Pelhanrs varsity beat Rye 3-o, and the second tealn tied o-o. At a thrilling gZ1lHC at Scarsdale, where our girls wore the boy's track pants to ward off the icy wind, the first team lost 5-3: the second, 3-o. The girls who are graduating this year leave a hope, a wish. and a challenge to the undergraduates for a successful season next fall. irls' V olleyball THIS year volleyball rose to the rank of a major sport. One hundred and twelve girls answered M iss Chappel's call and were soon organized into eight teams, eaptained by Eileen Stephenson, Marjorie Lentz, Fran- ees Ingalls. Betty Szold, Helen Kuschmann, Marion Crumm, Betty Daley and Eleanor Anderson. Hlith enthusiastic players and evenly-matched teams. it was only after a struggle that the season ended with the teams of Marion Crumm, Betty Slold and Betty Daley tying for first place. In a meet with New Rochelle, the varsity, eaptained by Eileen Ste- phenson. lost 33-jg 1, while Dorothy Beuttell's Seniors went under 32-go and the Juniors under Barbara Luce were beaten .11-40. It took the Sophomores led by Ann Shields to redeem us with the victorious score of 50-21. ag.

Final re- sults of the season showed ties in both leagues, between the teams of Wleiss and Crumm in one league and between the teams of Kuschmann and lllilliamson in the other. The varsity, which was made up of the best intramural players, played one game only, that with Scarsdale. The first team, captained by Helen Kuschmann, dropped a closely contested 31-23 decision to Scarsdale after leading most of the gameg while the second team, under liileen Stephenson, lost 25-13. The big event of the girls' athletic season was the Pelham Play Day on March 16. A record number of three hundred girls representing twelve outside schools took part in the basketball, ping pong, and bombardment games. The entire group was divided into two teams, the Blues and the Whites, and when all the scores had been tabulated, the Blues were declared the winners. After the athletic contests, lunch- eon and singing, plus a fencing exhibition by girls from New York University were enjoyed by all. The tremendous success of this big undertaking may be attributed to the well laid plans of Miss Chappel and Miss Rowe and to the line cooperation shown by the hundred Pelham girls who refereed the various games and served the luncheon.
