STUDENT President of Association.......Josephine Greenwood President of Senior Class...................Barbara Burroughes Representative of Senior Class Roma Mosell Matthewman President of Junior Class.............Marian Adams Representative of Junior Class.............Jean Lee thirty The invisible structure behind a successfully developed, properly enacted government is a sound constitution. The Constitution of the Student Government Association of the School of Horticulture is so—successfully developed and properly enacted. Its purpose is to promote growth in character and power, loyalty to the best interests of the School, a more careful regard for liberty and good order, and the maintenance of the best conditions for scholarly work, and for the social life of the School. Each student entering the School accepts membership in the Student Government Association with its obligations and responsibilities, as well as its privileges; and is willing, therefore, to subordinate herself to those standards which the School upholds. Officers of the Student Government are elected by the student body and include the President of Ihe Association. the President of the Senior Glass, a Senior Glass representative, the President of the Junior Class, and a Junior Glass representative. Acting in conjunction with the Association is an Advisory Committee which is comprised of the President of the Board of Directors, the Director of the School, and the dean in Charge of the student body. With such a combination, our Student Council exacts student observation of the rules and regulations set up by the Constitution with ‘an iron hand in a velvet glove’. Our Student Council has succeeded in presenting us with a means for the voice of the individual, whether student or faculty, to be heard and considered. The wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; that the form of government which prevails is the expression of the population which permits it. The law is only a memorandum. thirly-one CLASS WI1L TD JUNIDRS We, The Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-seven of The Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, being of sound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Article I I, Mary Ann Beaver, leave all my free time to anyone capable of finding it. I. Barbara Burroughes, leave my blue ribbons to flower show entrants, Helen Tresslar and Mary Lee Pyke. I, Sheila Chase, leave my finger exercises to pianist, Alice Chatelain, which is just ‘udderly’ ridiculous. !, Dorothy Colby, leave my Westpoint and Annapolis commuters' ticket to Alice Boulden.

I, Josephine Greenwood, leave my telephone calls to Betty Kosty, and Elsie Warner. I, LaurabeUe Gross, leave my artistic ability to Lois Horne. 1, Justine Hume, leave my maternal care of Mr. Jaxson to his mistress Jane Baker. I, Jane Keagy, leave my “winter flannels to successors, Betty Ann Stevenson, Joan Skirdlant, Wilma Lindberg, Jo Anne Holmes, and Margery Marshall—one at a time, please. I, Mary jane Moister, leave my potential dieting to Caroline Higley and Louise Brewer. I, Alice Mum ford, leave Marjorie Rice to perpetuate the traditions of Boston at the School of Horticulture. 1, Roma Mosel I Matthewman, leave my toils in the Digest room to Elenora Smith, an already capable predecessor. ], Mary Margaret Nunn, leave my lyric soprano voice to Marian Adams to be deepened and thus carried on. thirty-two , Lauren Oak ford, leave my rug to Susie Hays to be used as a blanket for ailing “Marion and to share with Inez Blake’s “Bashful Boy . I, Marie Scrivani, leave my weekends at home to Shirley Gelb. I, Susan Thor ), leave my many kinfolk to be distributed among southerners, Laurie Gantt and Francis Clapp. I, Aiine Wheaton, leave my neatness to Martha Megosh and Ruth Ninzehelt er—but what will they do with it? I, Caroline Whitenat k, leave my baton and stacks of sheet music to next year’s Glee Club. I, Marian Valid, leave my oil and midnight lamp to Jean Lee. , Dorcas Young, leave my red tints to further glorify the head of Vivian Murphy. In Witness Whereof, We, the members of the Senior Class, have hereunto set our hand and seal on this, the twenty-seventh day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven. A class gift is a material remembrance of the past to the future. Our class wishes to perpetuate this tradition by a gift of trees to be planted on the School grounds. think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pres I against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day and lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; I 'pon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a t ree.

As a generation progresses in its thirst lor knowledge, more ol its individuals are encouraged to enter schools of learning. The class of 1948 is a splendid example of such progressive development, for it is the largest Junior Class ever to enroll at the School of Horticulture. Day students and resident students representing states from Wisconsin to Georgia and north to Canada constitute this ( lass. Several of the students served in the armed forces of World War II. May we, the Seniors of 1917. extend our hand in farewell, and may we wish you every success as the Seniors ol 1948. thirty-five ACTIVITIES thirty-seven Left to right—Mr. and Mis. Bush-Brown. J. Greenwood. 1.. Brewer. B. Burroughes. I.. Oak ford, M'.-Adams. ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Through the cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. Bush-Brown many enjoyable evenings of movies and lectures were made possible here at school. “Rich Man, Poor Man ’, an illustrated talk by Mr. Paul of Andorra Nurseries, awakened in us an enjoyment of nature through observation. Later in the year came the talk “Correct Posture” making everyone straighten up and become ‘slouch’ conscious. But it will be agreed that one of the most outstanding lectures of the year was Mrs. Mussel's discussion of the almost unknown history of bells. This was interestingly illustrated by that portion of her famous collection which she brought with her. To fulfill social activities a barn dance, complete with band, barn atmosphere, and ‘moonshine’, was planned in October to attract the farmerettes and their ‘swains’. February brought a ‘charity ball’ sponsored by the year book. The aim of the Activities Committee has always been to prov ide the students with enjoyment and relaxation throughout the school year through the introduction of outside interests. thirty-eight Left to right.

SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB Webster defines service as a performance of labor for the benefit of another and social as pertaining to the welfare of human society. The work and aim of the Social Service Club could not be explained better than bv this definition. Mrs. Bush-Brown attended the first meeting where she related the history and past activities of the club. As our project for the year, the club planned to send one of the school’s Jersey heifers to Europe through the Brethren Service Committee. Charming boutonnieres sold from horseback at the barn dance, a rose corsage chanced off at the Christmas banquet, and Hallowe’en pumpkin envelopes begging to be filled were a few methods of raising money. However, the big financial event was an auction. Mrs. Bush-Brown was the auctioneer at this ‘white elephant’ sale. Our work didn’t end with the departure of “Joy in March; for an Easter egg hunt was planned to delight a group of settlement children from Philadelphia. You can imagine how much fun it was! thirty-nine Left to right, First row—E. Smith, Mrs. Bush-Brown, I. Blake. M. I.. Bush. 1.. Brewer, M. Rice. A. Boulden, D. Colby, I.. Gantt, B. Burroughcs, F.

HEADING AND DISCDSSION CLDB The Reading and Discussion Club was organized with the help of Mrs. Bush-Brown for those students wishing to have an opportunity to discuss cultural and political matters seriously but informally. We shall always remember Mrs. Bush-Brown reading her touching but highly amusing collection of letters received from a group of negro friends on a southern plantation; and Mr. Barney, a Philadelphia architect, whose interesting discussion of modern versus traditional architecture was tremendously stimulating. Not to be forgotten was the young speaker from India, Jagdish Agerwahl. His interpretation of life in India was of interest, particularly from the point of view of the delicate political situation which exists at present. I hese are only a few of the people who enabled the club to accomplish its purpose of finding relaxation and stimulation in the discussion of a wide range of topics. forty Left to right: Directress— |.

This familiar adage from Shakespeare’s popular tragedy represents the theme behind the dramatic club where actors and those behind the scenes are of equal importance. The traditional club picnic held at College Settlement started the 1947 season. Here old and new members became acquainted with each other over delicious, odorous hamburgers! The club first displayed its talents the evening of the fall corn roast with four original monologues and later with the presentation of Ned Albert’s stirring melodrama “Fireman, Save My Child”. As in previous years, the Dramatic Club had the honor of sponsoring the May Day entertainment performed in our outdoor theater. This successfid year under the directorship of Josephine Greenwood was ended by a final picnic held at the ‘favorite location’ where the president for the following year was announced along with the presentation of honorary pins to the four outstanding Senior Members of the Dramatic Club. forty-one Left to right.

In what belter way could the Club express its enjoyment and appreciation of music: than through this old adage of William Congreve’s. On Friday evenings each member, settled comfortably in the recreation room, listened with pleasure to the works of such great composers as Dvorak. Rimsky-Korsakoff, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, and Gershwin. One of the most delightful meetings was spent the evening Scotty played Saint-Saens’s “Carnival of the Animals”, and the members tried to guess the animals the instruments were portraying. The dues collected made it possible for the club to purchase two new record albums to add to its growing collection. It is our best wish that the club will continue successfully in its str ive toward a broader appreciation and comprehension of music. forty-1 wo Left to right: Directress—C Whitcnack: first row tirouml piano- S.

A variety of songs were sung at the meetings, and almost immediately selections were chosen that were appropriate for a Christmas program. Preceding the candle-light procession at the annual Christmas banquet the Senior Sextette sang “The Holly and the Ivy”, and a flute and clarinet duet played a French folk tune. The procession ended in the dining room where the Glee Club assembled to sing “The Prayer” from Hansel and Gretel. The Junior Sextette and a solo ended the formal musical portion of the program. In the spring, the club further displayed its talents' in the presentation of a Musicale under the direction of Carol Whitenack. The last public presentation by the Glee Club was through the Junior voices at graduation. “Yea, music is the Prophet’s art Among the gifts that God hath sent. One of the most magnificent!

RIDING CLUB After bidding farewell to “Mae”, who departed to become 0-0-0 fertilizer in the fall of “47”, the Riding Club got off to an excellent start. Finding the stable depleted, except for faithful “Nellie”, a committee was appointed to scout for suitable mounts. T he following week their findings arrived in the form of “Snowball”, “Chance”, and “Mac”. Fall days were spent cantering through autumn woods and over log jumps constructed to relieve the monotony of our country riding. At the same time, the old cow pasture behind the Bartlett’s house was converted into a horse pasture by mending the fence and disking and liming the field. A riding ring was built next to the paddock for instruction in the beginning classes. Spring activities, which included horse auctions in April and the Devon Horse Show in May, helped to make this a most successful year under the able management of the President, Anne Wheaton. forty-four Center—“Noble Design Pet”.

DAIRY CLUB This club formed by girls particularly interested in dairying has each yeai in the past selected a special project to accomplish during that school term, as the classification of the school’s Jersey herd in our Junior year. At the Club’s first meeting this year its members selected Sheila Chase president, and under her leadership an interesting club year ensued. In the spring a goat show was planned to stimulate interest among those students wanting to know more about goat husbandry. Trips were taken to nearby Pennsylvania Dairy Farms to observe and study herds of various breeds as Ayrshire, Guernsey, and Aberdeen-Angus. “How now brown cow!” forty-five Posing— S. Gell .

Several of the meetings were held here at school, while others were planned at the home of Mr. Coryell where there were facilities for developing film. Prior to the actual taking of pictures, Mr. Coryell gave instructions on the functioning of the parts of the camera, types of film, and the use of the lens, also the use of the light meter. The Camera Club, in its providing a better understanding of photography. supplied the girls with the opportunity to incorporate this learning in many of their other activities. forty-six I.efi to right—I..

May Day, inspired by beautiful weather was held in the outdoor theater, a perfect setting for an Elizabethan village with the townsfolk honoring their Queen of the May. The pages heralded the procession of the Ma Queen and her senior and junior courts. After the villagers presented her with gifts of flowers and animals, the Queen was crowned by the maid of honor, Barbara Burroughes. For the Queen’s amusement a short play “Pyramus and Thisbe from A Midsummer Night’s Dream , was humorously enacted by the town players. The May Pole dance made a gay climax to the festivities of the day, while the antics of the court jester gave continuity to the gay celebration. The cast, recessed to the singing of “Country Gardens”, and gathered on the terrace where refreshments were served. Here everyone gaily recounted the loveliness of the May Queen and her courts, the comical tragedy of “Pyramus and Thisbe anti the success of the day. forty-nine CALENDAR DF EVENTS FALL First clay, spent acquainting ourselves with 'Big Sisters’ and the place with which we are so familiar now.

Especially entertaining was Mr. and Mrs. Haine’s Maionette Show performing a variety of small acts, the favorite being a marvelous rendition of the “Nutcracker Suite”.
