In future years, when your mind is weighed down by the burden of business, and your interests move mainly in the channels of your work, take out this book, and let it bridge the gap between the present and the past, let it lead you back to the year 1926-27 and stir up the pleasant memories of your days at Pen- nington. But above all, let it keep the love of Pen- nington forever alive in your breastg and in future years, let it lead your thoughts, if not your footsteps, back to your Alma Mater! 4 .

Mixus, A.M. Ancient and Modern Languages. Franklin and Marshall Collegeg Alliarice Francaise. fPartsj Mr. Mauis came to Pennington in 1916, the year Washington nearly won a pennant. He has been here longer than any other member of the faculty. He participated in the World War and returned to Pennington at its close with a large supply of brilliant anecdotes which he uses to enliven dull moments in his French and Latin classes. He is one of the most popular of the faculty, and his sane advice has meant a great deal to this class. San Antonio. A. M. MASONHEIMER, JR., A.B., A.A.G.O. Franklin and Marshall Collegeg Guilmant Organ School Music. Mr. Masonheimer has been with us for a number of years. He graduated from Franklin and Marshall in 1915 and from Guilmant Organ School in 1922. He is a member of the American Associated Guild of Organists, and besides his course in school he has a private studio in Trenton. It is indeed a pleasure to have him play for us every morning in chapel. ' IIORACE C. GOTTSHALK, A.B. Ursinus Collegeg University of Virginia. Coach. Besides being Coach at Pennington, Mr. Gottshalk has taught at Carson Long Institute, coached at Bethlehem Preparatory and was principal of Lanning School. He graduated from Ursinus in 1915 and came here in 1924. The Coach can be seen at all athletic battles whisking about the field endeavoring to make the boys play harder. He is an earnest. faithful worker. 8 VFHE PENSEMAN LEs1.1E VV. CLARK, A.B. Spanish and Mathematics. Bowdoin College-1922. Before coming to Pennington, Mr. Clark taught at Temple University High School and at Friends' Central School in Philadelphia. He comes from an unknown OJ country lnamely Mainel and is undoubtedly that section's greatest booster. During the course of the summer he bought a new Ford and may often be seen dashing madly about in it. Recently he has been seen reading Elmer Gantry, so we cannot predict what the future holds in store for him. EDWARD B. DEERY Grades and Dramatics. West Chester Normal School and Gilgore School. Mr. Deery has been with us for the last two years and is indeed a helpful person around school. He must not be judged by hi-s last name, even though he is a knock-out with women. We wonder what he does when he isn't buying new suits or out on a date. Before coming to us, Mr. Deery taught at Boot Road School and was Supervising Principal of both Atglen High School and East Coventry High School. CLINTON E. CRANMER, B.S. Temple University. Economics, Commercial Course. Besides driving into our heads the law of diminishing returns and the theory of marginal utility, Mr. Cranmer is one of the school's most intrepid sportsmen. On frosty mornings last fall it was a familiar sight to see him set out on a hunting expedition, returning later laden with game. When we observed him in action at the Mid-Year Prom, we knew he was a ladies' man, but now with the aid of his Buick roadster we believe he will prove practically irresistible to the hnxom beauties of Pennington. 9 THE PENSEMAN WILLIAM H. FRENCH, B.S. Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Science. ' Mr. French besides being head of the Science Department at Pennington is promi- nent in the school dramatics, and plays the piano upon various occasions both in Chapel and Y. M. C. A. That he is a capable Chemistry instructor no one will doubt and many boys will recall with gratitude the happy hours spent with him and the pleasurable associations he has afforded and ideals he has represented. ' HOWARD T. HERBER, A.lNl. Ursinusg Columbia University. History. Mr. Herber came to Pennington in the middle of the year but lost no time in becoming one of our best instructors. As an authority on history and government he has few equals, and his knack of converting a dry lesson into an interesting discussion has occasioned a marked revival in the popularity of the history courses. JOHN LATSHAVV, A.B. -University of Pennsylvania 5 Oberlin College. English. Mr. Latshaw, before coming to us, was Principal of Mt. Pleasant Grammar School, Tredyffrin Township, Pa., and instructor in English at West Chester High. Mr. Latshaw is considered a hard marker and exacting master. He is, however, a good teacher. He can often be seen driving along the roads and byways of Pennington in his new car. 10 THE PENSEMAN JOHN HENRY PLATT, B.S. Dickinson College-1925. Mathematics. Before coming to Pennington, Mr. Platt was instructor in Mathematics and Science at Lewiston High, Pa. He graduated from Pennington in '21. He hails from South Jersey and is constantly boosting that district. Mr. Platt is friendly with all the students and is much liked. It seems that he just can't stay in school over the week- end. We wonder whoshe isl There is another peculiar trait of Mr. Platt's and that is, that he can't say a complete sentence without using an exclamation. Mus. F. H. GREEN No Year Book at Pennington would be complete without mentioning Mrs. Green, who has given liberally of her time and ability in order to make our various school events successful. As a graceful hostess and clever conversationalist she has few equals, and the Senior Class wishes to thank her here for all the kind services she has rendered to it. MRS. R. C. HrNINES Mrs. Haines occupies a warm corner in the hearts of the students. Her cheering smile and efficient treatment have caused many an ache or despondent feeling to fly away as the early morning mist under the warmth of sunlight. Mrs. Haines takes a lively interest in all school activities and can be counted among those present at all events. V 11 ALMA MATER Hail, Pennington, hail! Our Alma Mater dear!

The seniors seemed to delight in making us look and act like infants. The next fall, when we took our places as sophomores, we began to take an active part in the school activities. W'e had a few men on the athletic teams, and our sophomore play showed that we were a class to be considered and looked upon as one, that would in the future do big things for Pennington. VVhen we returned to school after the summer vacation, we found our- selves extending a hand of welcome to our old friends and new schoolmates. VV e immediately began work by having a large group of juniors out for the football team. We managed to supply six ofthe first team. However, our work had just begun, for soon there was a call for debaters, and three juniors stepped forth to carry the burden. The basketball team was greatly helped by the junior class, who supplied three of the first five. Five places on the baseball team were Hlled by members of the junior class, while the track and tennis teams found use for many more. The first and second places in the Field Meet were won by members of our class. As the year drew near a close, the class held its first meeting for electing the officers for the coming year. The following were elected: President Irwin, Vice-President E. Eaton, Secretary Flintzer, and Treasurer Cooke. The three years had passed swiftly, and we soon found ourselves in our last year at Pennington. The first event of the year was to form rules, which were to be obeyed by the new men and freshmen. At last we had reached the height at which we could dictate to those beneath us. The foot- ball, basketball, baseball and tennis teams were largely made up of seniors. The mid-year Prom, which was enjoyed by all, was held under the guidance of the senior class. The whole class has tried to hold high standards in both classroom and school activities. The publication of this book has been carried out through the whole-hearted support of our members. Before our class makes its exit from dear old Pen Sem, we wish to thank those who have helped to bring about the many happy moments which we have spent at Pennington. It is with heavy hearts that we leave our school and our beloved headmaster, Dr. Green, who has guided us through these four years of preparation. At last we must part and go forth, ever endeavor- ing to hold high the standards of Pennington. -EDWIN IRWIN. 16 CLASS SONG--1 92 7 C Tune : biz Our work is overg The year draws to an end, While in this chorus Our joyous voices blendg Now to our classmates Wishes we extendg And promise, Alma Mater, To be true to the end.

This boy likes to hike, and we have often met him either going or coming Bank reports are just his meat He usually manages to obtain a Saturday Literary Review You know the type, deep stuff, weight of the world and all the rest. Barth came out of his thoughts enough to play a little baseball this year I ine' We would like to see more of that. ,PHE PENSEMAN TOVVNSEND ANDERSON Germantown, Pa. Anderson is a representative of Germantown. He spends most of his free hours in the office guarding the portals leading to Dr. Green's sanctuary. How- ever, in spare moments he may be seen on the tennis courts or athletic field strutting his stuff. He likes to be mail man, too. Some one had better warn him about the dangers that lie along this line of work. Ask your teammate, he knows! Andy is a great boy, as you will Find by making inquiries.

No, he isn't an Indian, but he resided there with his father, Bishop Bickley. He tried several times to teach us the language, but s'no use. He didn't know it well enough himself. There was a time when Sam loved a cer- tain pastime, for the pleasure derived from it. No, I won't tell on you, Sam. Ask him about the time he had the 'butcher on his knees, maybe he will tell you and maybe he won't. On the gridiron we learned what kind of material Sam was made of. As tackle for two years he played first-rate football. , Sam is going to Wesleyan to finish his schooling.

Since then he has led a greatly varied life and has shown his ability in many phases of the school's activities. For the last year he has reigned supreme in the dining room. By the way, George, tell us the secret of those pink letters you received every night. Have you ever hard this: From A to izzard, I am your George Blizzard? We understand that Mr. Maus will feel lost next year without your e.1:cu.rv.r. How did you do it? Pennington's football team is losing one of the pluckiest fighters she has ever had. Remember the Peddie game last fall! We wish you the best of luck next year, George. Of course we pity you when the pink letters cease.

Boo'rH Vlfashington, Conn. Philo Introducing our hero-the Valedictorian. Ray is the boy with all the brain-power of the class. Al- though he is handicapped by coming from Wash- ington, he is about the most popular boy in the class, has the best influence, is the brightest, and has the best character. Ray belongs to that honorable organization called The Gateways and he surely lives up to its standards. In the class-room, on the athletic tield, in fact in all school activities, Ray may be seen working hard and doing his best for the old school. He is truly a real Penningtonian. By the way, Ray, give our regards to the little girl back home. Here's wishing you the best of luck, Ray, old boy, and we hope you will continue your great success in college.

He is one of those mortals who doesn't waste time on trivial things or thoughts. He is, we strongly suspect, a Fundamental- ist, and discusses only those things which really matter. Deep stuff. You know the kind: psychology, love triangles, and the world's greatest problems. His short career here has been one of success. Flep is a tennis player of no mean note and is the mainstay of that team. However, he is human to the extent that he likes the ladies. But all great men have weaknesss.

He has studied hard and won himself the honor of Salutatorian. He is better known around the campus as Tom Swift, because of his great leaning toward anything scien- tific. Ed is a pretty fast boy on the cinders and his voice is often heard in dramatic and oratorical activi- ties. just before Easter, Ed had a streak of bad luck and was confined to a hospital for thirty days, but he is out now and graduates with honors. Certain rumors were heard pertaining to Ed's nurse. Better ask him about it.

He has also taken part in many school activities. lf you want to know anything about science, ask Fran to tell you what his brother, Ed, knows. Fran has only two things against him. One is a strong complex for mirl- night shows, and the other is a certain liking for a Greene girl in Philadelphia. Best of luck to yon, old boy, and we hope you will be a great success in college.

He knows a lot about music and can often be seen indulging in some deep literature. It is rumored that Aubrey is quite a ball player. but for some good reason or other we can't seem to get him to come out for the team.

Harry has been the star of the basketball team for the past two years and served as a very worthy one this past winter. In the springtime, he may be seen roaming the pastures of left field. It is a shame that one may not play baseball and tennis at the same time for Harry is undoubtedly the best racket wielder in school. Here's wishing you the best of luck, Harry, in college and that you may do as well there as you have here. Basketball 13, 4, Captain 435 Baseball C3, 435 Tennis CSD. Georgia Tech.

A few of us realize that john's main weakness lies in the direction of the weaker sex. Coming as he did from Audubon, it took him a little time to establish his social position in the town of Pennington and its suburbs. However, he was not to be denied, and soon PCIll1lllgl0ll'S halls were resounding with tales of wild escapades in Tren- ton.

Although, at various times since, new faces have been added to our group, it was in that year that a great freshman class enrolled in this school, which was later destined to be the junior class of this past year. T-hroughout our exist- ence here, we have brought fame and glory, scholastically and athletically to the school. This past fall when the call for recruits for football came, many juniors responded, four of them making their letter on the first eleven. In basket- ball, also, our class gained renown, again having four members of our class receive letters. The number of letter men in baseball this spring cannot yet be determined. We can only prophesy its success with a great amount of its glory due to representatives of the junior class. Throughout the basketball season the class teams held a tournament, in which the juniors finished with high honors in second place. The positions of forwards were held down by Schantz and Smith, center by Pliester, while Myers and Eades did their stuff at playing guards. With a year's experi- ence, we feel confident of winning first place next year. Success in tennis this year has been marked. In Smith we have the cap- tain and first man representing us, while Writer is holding down the position of third man in expert fashion. Our introduction to the senior class comes this june, when we give a play called: Looks Like Rainf' Since it will take place after this book has gone to press, all we can do is to prophesy its glorious success. The cast has been picked as follows: Hero, Dave Schantzg heroine, john Hainesg Comedians, June Writer and Artie Sergeantg villain, Pattong old man, Charlie Myersg old woman, Floyd Angevine. With this cast of excellent talent, its production cannot be a failure. We have now completed three great steps toward the ultimate goal in our scholastic life, success. Only one looms up before us which we shall presently launch into with a determination to work and an ambition to succeed. As freshmen, we entered this school with high hopesg as sophomores those hopes were idealizedg as juniors they were cherishedg and becoming seniors, we shall look forward to their fulhllment. 35 ,IHE PENSEMAN SOPHOMORE CLASS 36 THE PENSEMAN f .

FLINTZER Photo Ifdifor GEORGE H. CRONEY 43 THE PENSEMAN CONTESTS VERY year at Pennington there are three contests. The first, the Ronan Contest, had only two entrants this year. The quality of both orations was a little below Pennington's usual standard for this contest. The decision went to Schurz, a freshman. Next came the biggest literary event of the year-the Callilogian Con- test. Every year the two fraternities have an oratorical contest for a hand- some silver cup offered by the alumnae of Pennington's old Callilogian Society. This year the contest was won by Theta Phi, with two of her speakers receiving first and second prizes. The quality of all the speeches was very fine and the school and fraternity spirit shown in the chapel that evening was the best the writer has ever seen in this school. The last literary contest of the year was the Declamation Contest. There were about fifteen participants who all presented their selections in com- mendable fashion. Another annual contest which should he included under this head is Field Day. Cups and medals are always offered by friends of the school and stimu- late keen competition among the boys of all the classes. 44 THE PENSEMAN DRAMATICS HE encouragement of artistic dramatic expression has always been the policy of this school in its desire to develop students along aesthetic as well as scholastic, spiritual and athletic lines. The production of plays at Pennington this year took the form of class presentations and the keen resultant rivalry effectually heightened the quality of the drama presented. This year's senior play, Three Live Ghosts, which was given under the capable supervision of Mr. French, on the evening of January IS. was a decided hit with the students and was acclaimed with many flattering adjec- tives by the local press. Outstanding among the splendid cast of performers were Charles Wil-kinson, whose astounding mastery of the difficult Cockney dialect was a constant source of amusement to all, Fletcher Downs, whose clever interpretation of the role of a shell-shocked soldier met with the approval of the critical audience, and William Flintzer, whose portrayal of a reformed criminal was skillfully constructed. The remainder of the cast whom space does not permit us to mention, carried themselves with poise and restraint and were a contributing factor in the play's success. ' On the evening of March 19, the curtain rose on the joint production of the freshmen and sophomore classes, Little Miss Jack, a comedy melo- drama in four acts. The play was well received by the large audience present, who laughed vigorously as the 'humorous situations were unfolded. Much credit is due to the coaches, Clinton Cranmer, and Edward Deery, who were aible to obtain such excellent results from the material at their disposal. The school was particulraly enthusiastic over the acting of Olin VVelch as the suavesociety slicker. and Joseph Roobin, whose amusing characteriza- tion brought down the house on several occasions. The other members of the cast were entirely adequate and helped to make the play enjoyable for all. ENTERTAINMENTS MONG the most pleasurable and profitable occurrences at Pennington is that of the Saturday Night Entertainments. We feel that this year an unusual effort has been made by Dr. Green to provide the school with the best possible program and that he has gone to great pains and expense to obtain for us the performers and entertainers who have con- tributed so vitally to our life at Pennington. W'e have had lecturers, poets, humorists, clergymen, raconteurs, dramatic readers, magicians and business men who presented to the student body a wide range of inspirational subjects throughout the year. Such notables as Dr. Adam Geibel, Edmund Vance Cooke. Dr. Alexander Cairns, Norman Schlichter, and Calvin O. Althouse have addressed us from the platform and the stirring appeals of the speakers and stimulating Philoso- phies of the poets have found permanent lodgement in our memories. 45 THE PENSEMAN Not only did we have distinguished visitors address us, but our own students appeared before us in various declamation contests and oratorical competitions, their keen rivalry for the cups and medals furnishing many evenings of edification and instruction. Another phase of our Saturday evening programs was the musical con- certs which Dr. Green provided for us in abundant quantities. Among the most prominent musicians who graced our chapel platform were Mr. Cola- femina and his artists, William Sylvano Thunder and Hilda Reiter, and the Chautauqua bands and orchestras who presented a thorough sweep of the field of music, ,their programs varying from the simple chamber music of Mozart to the weird overtures of Debussey and the crashing chords of the modernist, Scriabin. Our own school Glee Club and orchestra, working in conjunction with Mr. Masonheimer of the Music Department, entertained us several times in programs of popular songs and classical ballads. The members of these popular organizations deserve credit for their unselfish participation in these events which have meant so much to the school. SOCIAL HE social season at Pennington was launched with appropriate bril- liance on the evening of January 29, with the gala occasion of the in- formal Mid-Y ear Prom. A large crowd of enthusiastic revelers was in attendance. Converted into an atmosphere of festivity and gayety we hardly recognized the gymnasium which was hung with colorful festoons, college banners and American flags in a becoming manner. The music was provided by the Rutgers Collegiate Orchestra and accord- ing to the general concensus of opinion, their playing surpassed any we have had of recent years. During one of the intermissions we were entertained by Charles R. Smyth, who sang several popular selections in a competent fashion. The feature of the affair, however, was the distribution of confetti and streamers in lavish quantities, which in a short time converted the dance floor into a miniature Mardi Gras. The refreshments were provided by the culinary department and met with the approval of all. In fact, from every standpoint the dance was an un- qualified success and great credit should go to the Senior Dance Committee who provided such an unusually attractive evening, and to the patrons and patronesses who, by their earnest support, made the affair possible. At this writing plans are under way for the Annual Commencement Prom, which we are assured will be a milestone in the social life of Pen- nington. The committee is engaging an exclusive orchestra and a professional decorator, and no efforts will 'be lacking to make this event an affair to be long remembered. 46 pxdx if up -Kgs- P1111.o N 1. ir THET.-x P111 THE PENSEMAN PHILO ITH the beginning of the term of 1926 we found Old Philos' doors open and a warm and hearty welcome extended to the new men of Pennington, beginning her 66th year with a determination to surpass her splendid records of the past. We find her members taking a part in all the phases of school life. Many Philo men were found on the football, basketball, 'baseball and tennis teams, also taking a prominent part in the classroom, societies, oratorical contests and in the dramatics. Our third annual reunion was held on November 6, and through the efforts of the brothers and the aid of Dr. Green, proved to be an exceptional success. Many of our alumni returned with promises of coming again next year. An exceptional address was given by Dr. Alexander Cairns. The annual banquet, an event always hailed with pleasure and expecta- tion, was held April SO, and was a decided success. A program was pre- sented by distinguished guests and by various members of the fraternity. The literary programs of the fraternity form an important part of every meeting. These are enthusiastically entered into by the members, and much benefit is derived therefrom. These greatly further one of the chief aims of the fraternity, which is to teach the art of public speaking or the ability to think and speak while on one's feet. Philo's aims and ideals have always been of the highest and finest type. As a bearer of the purple and gold, she has always endeavored to choose a group of young men who are pre-eminently outstanding mentally, morally, and physically in the eyes of the school and the world. 49 Q .. ,- E Q 50 51 ' THE PENSEMAN PI-IILOMATHEAN FRATERNITY Founded 1862 Established 1892 Fralcr in Facullale FRANCIS HARVEY GREEN, A.M,, Litt.D.

Keeping the idea of school before fraternity in mind, she has done all that Theta Phi should do in athletics, oratory, debate and dramatics. The reunion proved a huge success as did the annual banquet. Both affairs brought back many old brothers and renewed friendships held so dear by a true brother of Theta Phi. Not merely brothers but more than that, pals, all true bearers of the red and blue. The literary side of Thet is brought out in the programs held each meeting. These programs not only help one to gain the poise of a public speaker, but arouse one's interest in the beauty and mysteries of our own English language.

This story portrayed tap day in one of our colleges. Tap day meant a lot to the outgoing members of the senior class, also to the seniors to be. It showed to them and to the people of the world whether they, as students had really accomplished anything during their senior college career. This part of the story gave some of the boys an idea. The idea was this, why not have an honor society in this school? They went to see Dr. Green about it. He was very much in favor of the idea, as there was no honor society in the school. On May the fifth, nineteen twenty-two, these fellows met with Dr. Green to form such an organization. It was to be a Senior Honorary Society. Members were to be elected twice a year, the first election to be from the senior class, the second from the junior class. The membership was to be based on all-round standing in every phrase of school life. The name chosen for this society was, The Gateways. The name was taken from the gateways at Caius College, England, suggesting Humility, Virtue, Honor. The name was meant to create an honor that every undergraduate might strive to attain. The society means more than an ordinary one. To ibecome a member a fellow must show, in his school life, that he has exemplified these qualities. A man belonging to this society is regarded as being of the highest type in the school. The plan of the organization is to promote all things that are high and noble, and to pledge itself to uphold in every way the honor and glory of the school. 57 TIIE PENSEMAN THE LGWELL SOCIETY President, GEORGE XVRITER I 'ive-Prr'.vid011t, Secretary, JEDXVARD PLIESTER DAVID SCHANTZ FLOYD ANGISVINE GEORGE BLIZZARD RAYMOND BOOTH JACK COOKE GEORGE CRONEY EDWIN EATON XVILLIAM FLINTZER XVALTER FYFE JOIIN SWEEL J OIIN R.

The work of the society is very extensive, covering a large field of interest and effort. The programs conducted are all very well worked out by Dr. Green and presented by the members. Through the talks given by the members a great deal is learned about the various phrases of literature, art and lives of great men. Some programs of great interest presented this year are, A General Survey of American Literature. This gave the members a glance at live phases of American literature, poets, essayists. his- torians, novelists, and orators. An evening was spent with James Russell Lowell. His history, and writings were discussed, and we got an insight as to what made him the great poet and man that he is. Another topic of unusual interest was, Two Great Russian Authors, Leo Tolstoi and Ivan Turgenieff' Two other famous writers were learned about, Omar Khyann and Rabindranath Tagore. Every year the society meets once at the home of the Headmaster, which is named Lowellden. At this meeting Dr. Green always has something of great interest. This year he gave us a talk on I.owell's great poem, The Vision of Sir Launfaulf' As always, we gathered a great deal from his talk. Editors and newspapers were discussed. This program closed with an oration, An Appeal for Better Reading. As the year draws to a close and we look back and recollect what we, as members, have learned, we can say that we have tried to exemplify, in our lives, the society's motto: Upward Still and Onward. 59 THE PENSEMAN A A T 2 a THE AGASSIZ CLUB I'rrsia'c'1zz', FLOYD J.

PLIESTER H, VVRIGHT 60 THE PENSEMAN AGASSIZ CLUB , HE third year of the Agassiz Club's existence has undoubtedly been a great one. Founded in December, 1924, the club progressed slowly dur- ing its first two years of life. This year has seen a great leap forward in development. Through the untiring eiforts of Dr. Green, very interesting and instruc- tive programs were planned. These programs touched on nearly all sides of science and were presented admirably. Last fall eight members of the club returned to school. A meeting was soon held to get organized and the club was under way. Early in the year a number of new members were taken into the club and again in March additional members were admitted. In early December the second anniversary was held and a very inter- esting program was presented. Our three presidents this year, Edwin Eaton, Angel Rivero and Harold Conover, deserve much credit for the interest they have shown in its develop- ment. But by far the greatest amount of credit goes to Dr. Green, who has spent a great deal of his valuable time on the club. The Agassiz Club is looking forward to great things in the future. lt feels that it has done much for its members. VVhen we look back over the meetings of the club this year, we view with pleasure the profitable time spent in them. As we go away from Pennington we shall endeavor to carry out the club's motto: Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.

Nearly all the fellows have shown an interest in the work. The officers have faithfully performed their dutiesg the leaders of the meetings and the participants therein have done their parts wellg the singing has been spirited and the speakers have been superior. The attendance at the meetings has in almost every instance been large and the attention fine. The students and teachers seem to be appreciative of the fact that our Headmaster earnestly cooperates with the members of the Association and makes it possible to secure addresses from leading clergymen and laymen. During the school year, some of the leading men speaking to us were: Rev. P. K. Emmons of Trenton, N. J.g Dr. john Ellery Tuttle of Swarth- more, Pa.g Dr. Andrew Mutch of Bryn Mawrg Dr. C. H. Woolston of Phila- delphiag Dr. Edward S. Ninde of VVest Chester, Pa.g Dr. G. Bickley Burns of Philadelphia: Rev. Gill Rob VVilson, Trenton, N. 1.5 and Dr. Howard Hand of Philadelphia. As usual Dr. Green gave the opening message of the school year and was warmly greeted with a great crowd. This feature of our school life which so strongly ministers to moral and spiritual upbuilding progresses admirably and keeps us in line with the thought so often emphasized by our Headmaster: F lee, follow, fight g F lee youthful lusts g Follow after righteousnessng Fight the good fight of faith. 65 THE PENSEMAN CHAPEL EXERCISES URING the thirty minutes set aside each day for chapel, we enjoy the vast amount of good things which Dr. Green so carefully prepares from day to day. Mingled with a spirit of reverence, the walls of Shaw Memorial Chapel re-echo each morning with our songs of praise to God. After the responsive or Scripture reading and prayer, we are always inter- ested to know what Dr. Green will bring to us for our enlightment as well as our enjoyment and inspiration. He deals with great literary figures, his- torians and scientists--in fact, all great men. Surely with such a goal set before us as exemplified in his interpretation of their lives to us, we can feel the inestimable value of these chapel services which certainly have tended to mould our characters and careers. 66 THE PENSEMAN VESPERS VERY Sunday evening since Dr. Green has been Headmaster at Pen- nington he has arranged an interesting number of Vesper Services. The services usually last one hour, yet they are so interesting and impressive that we are always anxious to hear more. During the year Dr. Green has had many noted speakers address us on various phases of life. Outstanding among these were: Dr. Haas, Dr. Henson, Rev. E. K. Knowles, Prof. Michaels, Dr. Smith, principal of West Chester Normal School, Mr. Fell, of the Trenton Post Office, Dr. Paddon, who spoke to us about Labrador and Dr. Grenfell, his co-worker. Two other extraordinary programs were given by Gray-Levhinne, one of the world's greatest woman violinists, and Colefemina, a celebrated opera singer. To further vary the programs, Dr. Green read'to us some excellent stories. On Christmas Day in the Morning, written by Grace S. Rich- mondg The Courage of the Commonplacef' and Passing the Torch, both written by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews were among the number read. Once each year the ministerials conduct the Vesper Services. This is an interesting programf This year Blizzard, Carter, Wright, Seeds and Platt took part in this service. Thus we have had many memorable times together this year in these Sunday evening Vesper Services. 67 THE PENSEMAN TOGETHER QTune: Hold the Fortuj Here as comrades we assemble VVith a common aim-- Seeking for the finest manhood- Life's best things we claim.

BROWN DAY or two after school opened Coach Gottshalk called for foot- ball candidates. About thirty-Five aspirants turned out. Seven vet- erans, namely: Captain Irwin, Cooke, Blizzard, Bickley, Bermudez, Lewis, and Platt returned this year and formed a strong nucleus around which to build a team. The squad was divided into two groups, one of which was supervised hy Captain Irwin and the other by the coach. A surprising lot of talent was found in the new men, as practically all of them had played before coming to Pennington. Our first game was with the New Jersey School for the Deaf. They were a comparatively light team and our boys trimmed them, 32-0. The second game was scheduled with Blair. In this game Pennington showed what they were made of, and although beaten, 13-6, they played nobly. The game with Trenton Normal was most unfortunate. A series of bad breaks followed us throughout the entire game, and although we lost, 20-6, our team was not discouraged. V Then came the big game of the season-Peddie. The team was primed to the utmost and were confident of victory. The rival elevens marched up and down the field, but neither could cross its opponent's goal line. The game 71 FOOTBALI. TEAM THE PENSEMAN was inspirational throughout and even though the score ended in a O-O tie, it was as good as a victory. The following game with Perkiomen was more or less disheartening. Our boys seemed to be overconfident, and we lost, 20-05 not, however, with- out displaying a wonderful fight. Our game with VVenonah was played in a sea of mud and a drizzling rain. It seemed as though neither team would score, but Wenonah finally made a touchdown and won, 7-O. The last game of the season was with George School. The game was played in biting cold weather, but our team went home on the long end of a 6-2 score. A Throughout the season the team showed an undying spirit and this year's football team is counted a great success. Much of the credit goes to that group of players called Scrubs, who, although they had little chance of making the varsity, came out for practice clay after day.

VVRITER H li winter of 1927 saw one Of the best basketball teams Pennington has ever had. Soon after football was over, a call for basketball candi- dates was issued and an unusually large squad turned out. Captain Hoffman, Booth and VVriter were the players iback from last year's varsity. Along with Fyfe and Bond, from last year's second team, Coach Gottshalk had a fast quintet to start with. However, it was soon found that Picken and Sweel were first class guards and they were immediately given that position. Our first game was with Newark Prep. When the final whistle blew the score was tied, and as Newark refused to play the tie off, we automatically won, 2-O. T he next game with Trenton Normal was lost, 29-24. Our quintet put up an excellent fight, but they were outclassed. Then followed three 'consecutive victories. Bloomfield was overwhelmed, 52-40g Fort VVashington was defeated 42-26, and VVenonah was nosed Out, 30-27. Our next game was with Peddie. The first half of the game was even, but Peddie pulled out in front in the second half and won, 31-19. Blair was defeated 33-25 in a rough game, in which our boys played admirably. This game was followed by a defeat by New York Stock Exchange, the score being 35-32. Our last game was with Trenton Normal and, although our team dis- played the same fighting spirit they did all season, we lost, 33-25. Thus with five victories and four defeats, we may count the season a success. Patton, F. Eaton and Cooke of the second team, deserve mention for the opposition they gave the varsity. Manager Croney and his assistants merit credit for excellent work they showed in taking care of visiting teams and arranging the schedule. 75 THE PENSEMAN BASEBALL TEAM 76 THE PENS!-:MAN BASEBALL Captain, JOHN L.

SWEEL H12 baseball season is young and if our team continues to do as well later as they are doing now our chance for a championship club will be good. Baseball practice started in March when a large number of candidates turned out. Captain Cooke, Irwin, and Hoffman were the veterans from last year's aggregation. An abundance of new material was found. Sweel is a catcher hard to beat, Irwin displays his talent on first, Picken at second base is a wonder, Pierson is our fiashy short, while little Pirozzi covers the hot corner. In the outer pastures we find Hoffman, a fielder that never misses. Along with him are Sked, Magill, Gonzalez, and F. Eaton, all of whom are good outfielders. Captain Cooke plays a number of positions, but in our opinion is better in the outfield. Pliester is a catcher of no mean repute. The pitching staff is the best we have had in years. It consists of Picken, Sked, and Gonzalez. Our first game was with Newark Prep, which we won, 4-3. Picken twirled and allowed but three hits. Trenton Normal was taken over by 5-3 score. Gonzalez started, but was soon replaced by Picken. Picken won his own game by crashing a double with two on in the fifth inning. Sked pitched the last two innings. Hun School was defeated 7-5 in a hard fought game. Pennington got off to an early lead which they held throughout the game. Sked pitched a wonderful game. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Peddie, Trenton Normal, Ursinus College Reserves, Perkiomen, and Wenonah. Manager Rivero and his two able assistants, Angevine and Sergeant, can be seen every day at work on the diamond, which is now in excellent condition. , 77 'PHE PENSEMAN 'FRN N I s TEA M TENNIS Cajilain, I'IOVV.'XRD SMITII Mziizagrvr, T.

Captain Smith and Bickley were the o1Ily players back from last year's team, hut a lot of new talent was soon displayed by some of the new men. In their first match with Dickinson High we were victorious. All matches were won and the score was 4-0. Next they played Perkiomen whom they tied, 3-3. Three singles matches were lost, while one single and the two douhles matches were won. Matches are to be played with Newark Prep, Pecldie, Rider College, Trenton High, and Wenonah Academy. Several return contests have been arranged with some of the alnove-named schools. Manager Anderson deserves a lot of praise for the work he has done in fixing up the tennis courts and arranging the schedule. 78 Tmc Pi2NsEM.xN GAME SONG 1'-IE-N-, N again l-N-G-'I'-O-N, l.'ennington.
