The meeting was under the direction of George Bitler, President of the Class of,l930 in its junior year. In a brief but interesting talk, Mr. Bitler outlined the accom- plishments of his own class and pointed out the important things which the class as an organized unit would have to do. This over, nominations for the class officers were in order. As a result of the balloting which followed, these men were elected to guide the class through its junior year: CESAR BLANK ........ President j. C. TURNER . Vicc-President jAMEs GARLAND . Secretary - R. SH12RwooD JOHNSON ...... Treasurer Under the leadership of this group, a successful year passed with the junior Prom standing out as a big accomplishment of the class. This event was held in the gymnasium on the evening of May 17 and it is safe to say that no more successful affair of its kind was ever held at Perkiomen. As in the case of all junior years, however, it finally came to an end and we were elevated to the distinguished rank of Seniors. Our Senior year got under way and the necessity again arose for organizing. Professor Kehs, the class adviser, called a meeting for this purpose. When the votes were counted it was found that the following had been elected to guide Senior destinies: R. SHERWOOD JOHNSON ...... President jol-IN G. DRAYTON . . , Vice-President jACK A. STEVENSON . Secretary W. EDWVARD MYERS ...... Treasurer The newly-elected president took the chair and under his direction the question of class dues' the coming Football Dance, and other business was discussed. At a succeeding meeting a com- mittee was elected to make arrangements for the annual Football Dance. This dance is always one of the outstanding social functions at Perkiomen and this year it was no exception. It was held in the artistically decorated gymnasium in the evening of Alunmi Day, November 15. Pep, enthusiasm, the joy of living, ran high all evening, for that same day Perkiomen's football team had given its traditional rival, Wyoming Seminary, its second defeat at the hands of a Perkiomen team and by an overwhelming score. just before Thanksgiving a staff was elected to publish the GR1FFIN, the annual of the Senior Class. Work was started immediately by the staff on this very important project. Needless to say, the job extended over the entire term. As the year drew to a close, preparations were started for the Farewell Dance to he held on the evening of Commencement, june 6. No stone was left unturned to make this the high-water mark in the history of the class. And indeed it so developed: for was it not the event which ended our stay at Perkiomen, the last gathering of the class as a unit? It was a glorious climax to a career of hard work not unmixed with the joy of good fun and lasting friendships within the walls of Dear Old Perki.

This, together with his baseball and track ability, has given him a high place in the annals of Perkiomen athletics.

But it is on the tennis court that his performance attracts the attention of the spectators, For two seasons his flashy court work has been inval- uable to the team. Tennis is a wonderful game which provides excellent exercise and diversion. But the ability to acquire knowledge is of vastly greater importance especially in preparing for such a difficult profession as medicine.

Since he has that astounding ability of adjusting himself to his surroundings we have no doubt as to his being successful in his chosen profession.

In behalf of my client, the graduating class of 1931, I have called you together, upon this most solemn occasion, to hear her last will and testament and to receive from her failing grasp the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Whereas the aforesaid's span of life is rapidly drawing to a close with many important matters still to be attended to before the crisis, and realizing the futility of attempting to remember every one, she has deemed it right and proper that those gifts within her power to bequeath be given to those, her friends, to whom they will be of greatest value. And whereas the aforesaid client has for the past several years had a terrific strain upon her mental faculties, which finally resulted inrcontusions of the brain from which she still suffers, some of the bequests may seem inappropriate, some friends who might under normal mental conditions have been legatees may have been over- looked, and some effects may have been bequeathed which were really not within her power to bestow. If such be the case, my client begs forgiveness for any and all errors and hopes that such legacies as are bequeathed under this testament be accepted in the spirit in which they are given and that their pos- session may afford some measure of entertainment and diversion to the legatees. Listen then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and SWOTH to: We, the Class of 1931, being about to pass out of this sphere of education in full possession of a well-crammed brain and at least the majority of our senses, and realizing that our career here is nearing its end, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, to revoke and make void all previous bequests or promises, at any time heretofore made, perhaps in a careless or thoughtless manner. As executor, we name in the order of our choice joseph jalavi, Hiram Fufnick, Jonas Gerber or Jeremiah Strenge. The bequests follow: To Dear Old Perkin-Our gratitude for the many happy hours spent within her walls: for the friendships made thereg and for the education and experience she has given us. To Doctor Kriebel-Even greater success than he has had already and the hope that his dream of a Greater Perkiomen is not far off. To Professor Coe-An electric bookkeeping machine to help him keep track of demerits. - To Professor Kehs-Gratitude for his excellent advice and assistance on our problems, both class and individual. To the Faculty-Our appreciation for their efforts to increase our brain capacity, the amazing horde of knowledge and information we have given them from time to time on our quiz and exam papersg and our sympathy for the sleep- less nights they may have spent wondering how many bull sessions were in swing on their particular floor. :fr 4611 T Kg 3 2514 wk. Class Prophecy Hello, Duke! Ceel But it's good to see you again. But what in the name of hlazes are you doing here? Hello-Well, Il'l be dk! lf it isn't my old chuln, Bill Hoover. Why, l hardly recognized you, but I see now that you haven't changed much since l saw you last at Dear Old Perki almost ten years ago. Where have you been, and where are you headed for? Well, Duke, I've traveled over the biggest part of this little old country of ours in the last few years and l'll soon be going-you know, we're sort of blocking traihc standing here on the sidewalk like this. Yes, we are. Say, it's almost noon. Let's step over to the Palais Royal. VVe can talk while we're having lunch. A few minutes later these old schoolmates were seated at a table in the dining nunn ofthe Pahns Royalfhnelin San Francwco. It was Spdng nithe year nineteen forty. The tall, red-haired one was Bill Hoover, an oil magnateg the other, Duke Reed, one of the wealthiest brokers in the West. Back in 1931 this pair had been classmates at Perkiomen, back east. june of that year with its graduating exercises had seen each of them start in different directions for the next step in their careers. And now, after almost ten years, they had met unexpectedly on the sidewalk. As they lunched, they naturally talked about themselves, what they had done, where they had been, and how they had reached their present positions. Finally: From what you've told me, you must have been from one end of the land to the other, said Duke. Have you ever run across any of the fellows of good old '31 ? 'T7Hen,u answered BiH. Uln fact,I've enher seen or heard ofjtwt about every one of the old gang at some time or other. Why, only the other day l ran across Dovey at a meeting of the Kiwanis in Chicago. He's one of the noted surgeons of the Middle West. We had quite a chat and he told me about Bill Anders, Jimmy Bruno, Ed Hull, jimmy Humphries, and Dick Spangkr. Ile had seen theni aH at a nadonalconvendon of physuians and mngeons Buland Khck havethen'oHnrsin Phdadeh na whdeihnnny Bruno and Ed practice on the elite of New Yorkg and when Humpty isn't busy reheving the mek nilhttsburgh hes tuning up a snappy htde speedsterrnithe Altoona racetrack. VVhy, every one of those fellows has made the grade. That's what they were planning when they were at school. Sure they did, and there're not the only ones. You remember 'Doc' Hughes wanted to be an industrial engineer? Well, he's one of the biggest in Milwaukee now. He's just completed a nine months' job on a big brewery there, called in to End out why the company wasn't showing any profits. He made a fortune just by discovering that the men were drinking too much of the beer. I knew 'Doc' would make good, interrupted Duke, but say, what ever happened to 'jack' Drayton, and 'joe' Reznichak, and 'Charlie' Covert? Oh, 'jack' has taken over his father's accounting practice in Manchester. He and his brother are the best known accountants in New Hampshire: they do a lot of auditing for the state. And 'joe,' you know, is coaching winning com- binations at Michigan U. 'Butch' Sniscak and 'Chow' Sudnick are holding down similar posts at Georgetown and Syracuse.

True to the traditions of the corresponding group in any school, our juniors have shown a true spirit of hilarity and fun. They have shown, at the same time, that they are capable in the more serious lines of school life. No activity, whether it be one of the sports, the school magazine, debating, dramatics, the orchestra, or the glee club, does not include among its personnel some members of this enterprising class. The weekly honor roll for scholastic ability regularly contains names of Juniors. And in all activities in which they have participated, they have proven their mettle. Nor has the social side of school life been neglected. Plans for the annual Junior Prom are already under way as this volume goes to press. The affair promises to be one of the most colorful of its kind ever held at Perkiomen. As we of the graduating class prepare to leave the institution which has fostered us, we hand the torch to them. We know that they will carry it well and can only hope that their success may be even greater than any we may have attained. CLA SS ROLL Lincoln Armagast Robert A.

Not only have they shown an exceptional ability along scholastic lines, but they have evinced a grasp of that true Perkiomen spirit which makes leaders. A football team was organized during the term and games were played with local junior teams as the opponents. In their display of grit and sportsmanship we could see our future athletic heroes. In addition, the gym team composed of these youngsters made history. Appearances both at school functions and in local Y. M. C. A. meets showed some fine gymnasts. Such a combination of scholastic and athletic ability in our youngsters shows the fine quality of our American educational system and, as a farewell greeting, we Seniors extend our congratulations to both the boys and their trainers on their highly gratifying performance. 3' 'l75l' Aclivilies A T If 4' X- Ti N H 53.5 1. X E x X X X Football 1950 , :gf-igg9.wf:swaigarw'a:j,1i1' i 4. , Ill - 26ri'flill NN Football Resume THE SEASON When Coach Peiller took his squad out for their period of early training on September 2, he was confronted with the task of molding a team about a few veterans. Seven of the thirty-five were members of last year's squad, while the remainder were new nven in every sense of the word. Six letter n'en, three on the line and three in the backlield, formed the nucleus of the Purple and Gold team of 1930. On the line were S. johnson, a great end, Stevenson, a rangy center, who, because of illness, saw little action the past season: and Drayton, another center of great ability. In the backfield Captain Charles Sudnick, a veteran back, Sielski, a dependable ground gainer, and Osborne, a canny held general, supplied the experience, while Covert, a sub-lineman of a year ago, was on call. Several weeks of training and conditioning w ere required for the green mate- rial on hand, but by the time the day for the opening contest with the Ursinus Freshmen rolled around, Coach Peiffer had chosen a starting line-up which, almost without change, started every one of the season's nine contests. On the whole the season was a successful one. The records show four wins, four losses and one tie. Among the victories, however, was one over our tradi- tional foe, VVyoming, by an overwhelming score. Among the defeats was one by Allentown Prep, by a very slight margin. Upon these two games hinges the success or failure of a Perkiomen football season. And so we cannot help but feel that the season was a successful one. P15RK1oM12N-Uizsmus FRIQSIIMEN GAME-18-0 Opening the nineteen-thirty campaign against Ursinus Frosh, the Purple and Gold ran at will over her rivals, scoring three touchdowns in well-formed olfensive attacks led by Captain Sudnick, Sielski and Thompson. On the defense the work of the team in general caused the Freshmen team no little anguish, for throughout the entire game they were unable to penetrate into Perkiomen territory farther than the thirty-four yard line. . lt I I 'Qtr 'lsll' we-sw Ill - tlilfillill X42 PERKIOMEN-WYOMING SEMINARY GAME-52-0 Emerging from the fracas with the Lehigh Freshmen with a well-earned victory, the grid warriors of Perkiomen put forth every effort, in a short period of intensive training, for the Alumni Day game with their old rivals, Wyoming Seminary. Amidst a gathering of a splendid crowd of alumni and friends, the representatives of the Purple and Gold entered the fray decidedly the underdog. Comments to the effect that Perkio- men had not a chance against their powerful opponents had scarce been uttered ere the crowd was held spellbound by the clocklike execution of plays, the perfect co-ordination of team mem- bers, and the true conception of the term team play which characterized above all else the work of Perkiomen's sons that memorable afternoon. Little else need be said in regard to the contest as the score speaks for itself, hut a word con- cerning the result of victory will not be amiss. Teams representing the two schools have met on the gridiron some eighteen times, and using the words of Ripley, Believe it or not, this was but Perkiomen's second victory. Victory it was, for Wyoming's streak of twenty consecutive wins was broken and it also resulted in the severest trouncing suffered by a grid team representing Wyoming in the entire history of the sport at that school. Ah well, revenge is sweet. P14:RK1oM12N-ALLENTOWN PREPARATQRV Scuoot GAME-0-6 journeying to Allentown for the traditional rival game with Allentown Prep, Perkiomen's Purple and Gold gridmen stunned friends and alumni by virtue of a disheartening defeat. Though the game was close and hard-fought throughout, vital statistics show that offensively Perkiomen was twice as strong. Needless to say, the predominant features of the previous game were lacking. PERKIOMEN-VALLEY FORGE MILITARY' ACADEMY GAME-0-0 Bringing to a close a more or less successful season, the grid warriors of Perkiomen battled to a scoreless tie with the cadets of Valley Forge Military Academy. The game, a charity attrac- tion for the benefit of the Radnor Township Pension Fund, was played at the Villanova College stadium to a small but appreciative crowd. It was an exceedingly fast and hard-fought fray, and although enemy territory was penetrated more than once by each team, both braced at the psychological moment. o ,. W .f Q, , ' 'l83l' Soccer 1930 X i at R A 2 xml. Soccer Resume THE SEASON Soccer, a sport which has come into prominence in interscholastic athletic competition of recent years, played a prominent part in the Fall sports program at Perkiomen. A call for candidates was issued by Coach Harry E. Rudy during the first week of school with the result that twenty-odd men reported for practice. Five members of the 1929 soccer eleven composed the veteran material around which the 1930 team was built. These players were Captain Bruney, Dovey, Martin, Eitnier, and Howells. McKay, a soccer man in 1929, reported later in the season. The remainder of the squad with which Coach Rudy worked was inexperienced, thus making a pre-season prediction of the strength of the team rather doubtful. The schedule arranged for the Purple and Gold hooters included some very strong teams. From the beginning, the squad showed a spirit of co-operation which promised much, but as the season progressed, injuries sustained by the players in the various games took their toll. Though winning but one of their seven contests, the team played a hard, fast brand of soccer which was a credit both to them and their coach. There can be no doubt but that the experience gained by the members of the squad in their games this past season will prove of value to them if they participate in the sport at other schools or at Perkiomen next Fall. PERKIOMEN-LIBERTY HIGH Smznzs-0-7, 0-S The Purple and Gold hooters opened their season on the home field with Liberty High, of Bethlehem, opposing them. Both teams displayed fine form in the Hrst half, Perkiomen holding their veteran opponents to a single score which was made late in the second quarter. As the second half of the game began, it could be seen by spectators that the Perkiomen defense was weakening. Soon the Liberty High boys were scoring in rapid succession to win easily. A week later, Perkiomen journeyed to Liberty High's home Field for the second game between the two teams. This time the team presented a stronger defense, hut again the experience of the high school players proved the deter- mining factor. They scored two goals in rapid succession, but were prevented from piling up several more scores hy a determined rally on the part of Coach Rudy's men. Perkiomen began an attack on the Liberty goal late in the second half, but it proved of no avail. m m Basketball 1930-1931 - ' f-'ff' L f I Ill NN? Basketball Resume THE SEASON When Coach Peiffer began basketball practices early last December, little more than an ordinary season of wins and losses was expected. But one letter- man of the great 1929-30 five, Captain Stevenson, remained as a nucleus for the team. The other candidates were mainly untried material who had never played together before as a unit. Then, too, the schedule arranged for the Purple and Gold included some of the strongest college Freshmen and preparatory school combines in the east. But as the season progressed, it could be seen that the Perkiomen director was developing another great team from humble beginnings. Playing a gruelling twenty-two game schedule, Perkiomen won sixteen con- tests and lost six. Seven schools were encountered twice and eight were played but once. In the seven double-headers, Perkiomen carried off the honors both times in four, split two, and lost one series. Coach Peiffer's high-scoring com- bine won six of the eight single games. Considering the caliber of the teams encountered during the season, the 1930-31 basketball team should be numbered among the strongest teams to uphold the Purple and Gold standard on the court in recent years. PERKIOMEN-EAST GREENN'II.LE Cuns S12R1Es-34-63 42-30 Perkiomen opened the basketball season on the home fioor with the East Greenville Cubs. Neither team had much to show in the way of fast basketball, but Perkiomen's superior brand of team play and shooting kept the Purple and Gold out in front. Later in the season the East Greenville Cubs were again encountered. This time, after the first team had piled up a large margin, Coach Peifier used his second string players during most of the game with the final score in Perkiomen's favor. PERKIOMEN-WENONAH M. A. SER1Es-23-265 11-28 Wenonah Military Academy, boasting the strongest court team in its history, gave Perkiomen two defeats this year. In the first game at Perkiomen, both teams played stellar basketball with Wenonah flashing a last-half rally to nose out Coach PeifTer's charges. Playing under adverse conditions on Wenonah's home court later in the season, Perkiomen was forced to accept a trimming from the cadets. Rough floor play and continual fouling marred the contest considerably, but the game was closer than the score indicates. PERKIOMEN-WILL1AMsoN Snkncs-29-28, 53-20 Perkiomen handed Williamson Trade School, of Media, a pair of trouncings this year. Williamson gave the home team a scare in the first contest when Qu.

The size of the Brown and White team's court and the height of the Freshmen proved to he deciding factors in Perkiomen's defeat. PIERKIOMICN-F. X M. Acnviciviv GAME-23-42 The worst beating sustained by Coach Peiffer's passers during the past season was at the hands of the Franklin and Marshall Academy team, a com- hine of six-footers. Perkiomen's attack did not prove effective while F. 84 M. scored consistently. PIERKIOMIEN-I.AFAYIi'l IiE FR1fsuM14:N GAME--41-34 Lafayette College sent a small but fast Freshman team to Pennshurg in the latter part of the season. Perkiomen assumed an early lead, but this was cut down by intermittent Lafayette rallies. Despite a last-minute spurt, Perkiomen won. PERKIOMEN-BUCKNELL FRESHMEN GAME-39-29 Using a peculiar style of Poor play, the Bucknell Freshmen gave Perkiomen rooters a scare in the first half of a game played on the home floor. The junior Bisons held a five-point lead at the half, but in the final periods Perkiomen out- scored their opponents by fifteen points to win. PERKIOMEN-A1.UMr'1 GAM15k35-28 A group of old grads returned to the campus to battle it out with the present varsity team and came out on the short end. The varsity stepped out to hang up an early lead, but in the last two frames the former Purple and Gold stars staged a fine exhibition of shooting to threaten the varsity's margin. PERKIOMEN-TAYLOR SCHOOL GAME-64-24 Taylor Business School, of Philadelphia, proved to be no match for the speedy Perkin passers in a late game on the schedule. Perkiomen piled up the highest point total of the season in beating the Green and White. Though the game proved to be a rout, there were several instances of thrilling play which kept the spectators interested. PIQRKIOMEN-SoU'rH1zRN I-Iron GAME-36-28 In the final game of the 1930-31 season, Perkiomen gave Southern High School, one of the most powerful combines in the Philadelphia high school league, an artistic drubbing. Southern boasted a reputation of having beaten Over- brook High to end that team's string of twenty-five consecutive victories, but the superiority of Perkiomen was manifest at all stages of the game, this win being a fitting conclusion toa highly successful court season. 'n al 193 1 Wrestling 1931 as .M ii fs f ft ex A C sffifi i e as sm Jaw, Wrestling Resume THE SEASON Shortly after the termination of the football season, Coach Slaughter issued a call for wrestling candidates. A squad of twenty-four men answered and began a period of intensive training for the eight scheduled meets. Five veterans of last year's mat team were among those who reported, namely, Captain Turner, Golensky, Dovey, Covert, and Westerman. With these men as a nucleus and a wealth of material, the Purple and Gold mentor looked forward to a successful season. Due to the injuries sustained by various members of the squad and sickness, the long, strenuous season taxed the endurance of the grapplers. Although the records show one victory against six losses and one cancelled meet, the season was anything but a failure. Every meet in which the Perkiomen matmen competed was bitterly contested, and it should be noted that the opposition numbered some of the strongest preparatory school and college Freshmen squads in the East. The sportsmanship and courage exhibited by the team attracted much favorable comment, proving the team a credit to Perkiomen traditions. PERKIOMEN-F. Sz M. FRESHMEN MEET-5-6 CINCOMPLETED The Perkiomen grapplers opened their season on the home mat against the Franklin and Marshall Freshmen. At the end of the third bout on the card the score was 6-5, in F. 81 M.'s favor. ln the fourth contest, Bill Osman, Perkiomen's 145-lb. defender, was thrown heavily to the mat, sustaining a serious injury. After a consultation between the officials of both schools, it was decided to cancel the remaining bouts of the afternoon. According to the rules of wrestling the Lancaster collegians were the winners of the meet due to a forced forfeit. PERKIOMEN-LIBERTY HIfiH MEET-3-20 A powerful and veteran aggregation representing Liberty High School, of Bethlehem, invaded Pennsburg and gave Perkiomen a setback in the second meet of the season. Every bout was replete with action and thrills, and it was only after the hardest and most gruelling type of wrestling that the Liberty matmen piled up their winning advantage. A loss to the Bethlehem team was no disgrace as Liberty High is noted for the powerful teams it has fostered in past years. PERKIOMEN-F. 81 M. ACADEMY MEET-12-20 Franklin and Marshall Academy, noted for its strong wrestling teams in past seasons, proved no exception this year and handed the Purple and Gold another defeat. The experience gained in the first two meets proved valuable to the Perkiomen team, for it was noted by spectators that there was a decided improvement. Winning in the heavier divisions while losing hard- fought bouts in the lighter ones, Perkiomen gave their more experienced rivals plenty of com- petition. 4971 Track 1951 ,, A - m1,':ff as ... .. se Wi r iisin NN? Track Resume THE SEASON With less than two weeks' practice, Coach Conrad W. Snyder's cinder-path team competed in the Meadowbrook Games, in Philadelphia, a meet in which Perkiomen won but one first place-that in the mile-run when Captain john Nichol carried the Purple and Cold sash across the finish line to victory. Other men on the squad competed, but failed to place, due perhaps to their lack of conditioning. However, with a period of several weeks' training behind them, the Perkiomen track and field stars engaged Frankford High, of Philadelphia, in the opening meet of the season and won handily. The relay team competed in the Penn Relays, and in the American Medley Relay Championship race, in which twenty-six of the best teams in the United States and Canada were entered, placed ninth. Coach Snyder had some fine track talent with which to work this year. Cap- tain Nichol, a fast and dependable man in the quarter, half, and mile runs, was the team's mainstay, while Sniscak, in the field events, and Packard, S. johnson, Little, Crist, Sielski and several others were the chief point scorers during the season. Besides Frankford High, the team engaged in dual meets with Valley Forge and Allentown Prep. The team also competed in the Princeton and F. 81 M. Interscholastics, and in the Perkiomen Interscholastics, the great high school and preparatory school carnival held under the auspices of Perkiomen School on the home track late in May. Only accounts can be given of the Frankford High meet and the Penn Relays. It is expected that the 1931 track squad will acquit itself well in the remaining meets of the season. PERKIOMEN-FRANKFORD HIGH MEET-81M-SSM In the first dual meet of the track schedule, Coach Snyder's charges gave the Frankford High School team, their traditional rivals, a drubbing. Perkiomen took eleven of thirteen first places, and completely outclassed the visitors in every department. Sniscak, Perkiomen's iron man in the field events, scored 20 points, while Captain Nichol and S. johnson took three first places apiece for a total of 15 points each. PENN RELAYS Though the Perkiomen relay team was handicapped from the very start in the Penn Relays, running in the American Medley Relay race, the team made a good showing. Perkiomen drew the outside lane in the last row of starters- the worst position on the track, but forged ahead steadily to finish ninth in a field of twenty-six starters, only a yard behind Mercersburg Academy, last year's winners. s 5 1. j t is X gif' XNI' The Meadowbrook Games For the first time in several years, Perkiomen's track team competed in the Meadowbrook Gan'es which are held every year in Philadelphia under the auspices of the Meadowbrook Club of that city. This year the meet was staged on February 22 on the Arena track. Coach Conrad W. Snyder had less than two weeks to prepare his men for the meet, due to inclement weather, but con- sidering their lack of adequate practice and the teams and individual stars against which they were competing, the team acquitted itself in a creditable manner. One of the high-lights of the Meadowbrook meet was the running of john M. Nichol, Perkiomen's star miler, in the mile run. Running in a field which included some of the best preparatory school runners in the East, Nichol won the event in the fast time of 4.46, decisively defeating the winner of the previous year. The event was run in three heats. Nichol won his heat, and was declared the winner of the event on the basis of the fastest time of any of the three heats, which, incidentally, was five seconds faster than the time of the second place winner. In recognition of his victory, Nichol received a gold medal, besides much favorable comment from prominent sports authorities in Philadelphia. The Purple and Gold relay team, composed of Adrian Little, Harold McCann, Bertrand Crist, and john Nichol, received fourth place in a fast field in the one- mile relay. In their heat, the relay quartet placed second to Mercersburg, and defeated Valley Forge Military Academy and Bryn Athyn Academy. Mer- cershurg won the event, with Allentown Prep placing second, Hill School third, and Perkiomen fourth. Through a mistake in timing, Perkiomen received fourth place though the team's time was a few seconds faster than that of Hill School. Ad Little, Butch Sniscak, Bart Semple and Hoot Gibson com- peted in other events but failed to place. Little ran in the 45-yard dash, Sniscak in the 45-yard hurdles, and Semple and Gibson in the half-mile, but the coni- petition in these events was too much for the Perkiomen runners whose lack of practice and training hindered them to a great extent. On the whole, the team made a good showing despite the fact that the boys did not win any events other than the mile run. Q 41031 Baseball 1931 I e - ll XQJI. Baseball Resume THE SEASON I ,inning the 1931 season with four veterans-johnson, Sudnick, Bortner, and Dompe, as a nucleus for the team, Coach PeiH'er's nine faced one of the most difficult schedules that a Purple and Gold diamond team has played in many years. Five college freshmen teams were scheduled-University of Pennsylvania, Villanova Ctwo gamesj, Lafayette, Lehigh, and Ursinus, besides five preparatory schools-Wyoming Seminary Ctwo gamesi, Valley Forge Military Academy Ctwo gamesj, Allentown Prep Ctwo gamesi, and Mercersblirg Academy and Wenonah Military Academy, one game each. The Princeton Junior Varsity was the only jayvee team encountered during the season. Eight of the fifteen games were played on foreign diamonds. Coach Peiiier held several practice sessions before the Easter vacation to whip his team into shape before the opening game of the season. Besides the four letter-men already named, the Perkiomen mentor had several promising players with varied experience. The weakness in this year's team lay in the fact that but one dependable pitcher was available in the person of Bill Hafer, whose steady and clever work on the mound won his team more than one game during the schedule. Captain Bart Semple, the best preparatory school catcher in this section, was the batting ace of the team and hung up an enviable number of circuit clouts. Batting was probably the strongest department of the 1931 nine, though some capable Helders, both in the infield and outfield, were developed. There can be no doubt that the fighting spirit of Perkiomen's team of the past season and its ability to stage come-backs with almost certain defeat staring it in the face will give it a deserved niche in the Hall of Fame of Perkiomen teams. Only a summary of the first five contests played can be given. The results of games played during the remainder of the season can only be predicted. PERKIOMEN-LEHIGH FRESHMEN GAME-14-6 The lid was taken off the schedule when Perkiomen played the Lehigh Fresh- men on the home diamond, April 11. Perkiomen built up an early lead and held it until the end, despite a three-run rally in the final frame by the Bethlehem collegians. The Purple and Gold sluggers poled out a total of sixteen hits, among them several extra-base wallops, with Semple, Reznichak, and Dompe hitting home runs. Hafer and Frey were on the peak for Perkiomen and held the opposition to eight hits. m al X rl' - - f N 7 . X. B ig H- A , 'llixgufr V f Cupl.

White, when he issued a call for tennis candidates early in April, had two veteran players-Spangler and Garland, to strengthen this year's racquet-wielders, with Stevenson, a player of some experience, in reserve. After a few weeks' practice, Spangler was selected to play number 1, Garland number 2, and Stevenson number 3, while an elimination series was played for the number 4 position, with Curtis, a Freshman, finally gaining the honors. After the first meet of the season with Franklin and Marshall Academy, Garland was elected to captain the team. This year, the team used for the first time the new varsity courts situated in the rear of the Library and Gymnasium. These courts were in far better playing condition than the old playing areas. The net schedule for the season included nine teams-two meets apiece with the Moravian Reserves and Valley Forge Military Academy, and meets with Franklin and Marshall Academy, Allentown Prep, George School, Blair Academy and Wyoming Seminary. As the GRIFFIN goes to press, but one meet has been played-that with F. X M. Academy, which resulted in a victory for Perkiomen. With a victory to start, together with a team which looks strong, a successful tennis season is anticipated. PERKIOMEN-FRANKLIN Sz MARSHALL ACADEMY Mizm'-4-2 Beginning their schedule with a victory, the Purple and Gold netmen gave Franklin 81 Marshall Academy a trimming. Both teams were composed of experienced players, but Perkiomen's superior play in the doubles matches deter- mined the score. Spangler and Garland, playing number 1 and 2 for Perkiomen, respectively, lost their singles matches by close scores, but Stevenson and Curtis won their singles in handy fashion. In doubles, Coach White's men swept through to wins in fine fashion. THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON judging from the results of last year's competition with the teams on the schedule of the present season, victories should be turned in over all the rival tennis squads, with the best opposition being encountered in the Moravian Reserves and Blair Academy. Every team represented on the 1931 slate was defeated by Perkiomen with the exception of the Moravian Reserves, who were defeated in a return meet. 'P 4 111 1 ' R G A N I Z wo 'O J fi?

Perkiomen has had debating on the list of extra- curricular activities for many years but particular interest was displayed in it this year. Two dual debates were scheduled. The original intention was to have about five but the season had to be limited and advanced far into the Spring due to overlapping of dramatic and other activities. Of the two dual debates scheduled, one was with George School and the other with Pennington. The question for debate in both cases was one which is attracting much attention at the present moment throughout the country: Resolved, that the states should adopt old-age pension laws. The debate with George School was held on Friday evening, April tenth. Our affirmative team journeyed to Newtown to lock horns with George School's negative team, while their affirmative squad came here to meet our negative. An interesting evening was provided the audience at both places and when it was over and the decision of the judge at each debate announced, it was found that each school had a win to its credit. The negative teams had won in both cases. The remaining debate with Pennington School has been scheduled for May eighth. Our chances in this meet should be even better than they were for the previous one as a result of the experience acquired and increased knowledge of the question obtained. The coach, Professor Robert L. Foose, deserves a lot of credit for the organiza- tion and development of two such teams. And the members of the teams deserve to be commended for upholding the forensic traditions of Perkiomen as they have.

I High-Lights on the South American Trip of Perkiomen's 1929-1930 Basketball Team By JACK STEVENSON, Varsity Center It is an interesting fact, and one in which all Perkiomenites take a justi- fiable pride, that our 1929-30 Basketball Team was asked to come to Venezuela. The purpose of the trip was to show Venezuelans interested in the sport just how we in America play the game. The invitation was extended by Colonel Gonzola Gomez, of Venezuela- This great man had heard of the crack Perkiomen basketball team from Cesar Blank, a Venezuelan student at Perkiomen, through whose efforts the invitation was secured. It included, in addition to the Perkiomen team, another squad to be picked from other prep schools and colleges so that two teams would -be available. Inasmuch as the trip was made during the summer of 1930 after the pub- lication of the 1930 GRIFFIN, to which chronicle it properly belongs, the Class of 1931 is proud to include an account of the trip in order that it may live forever in the annals of Perkiomen. CThe Editor.J Sk ik wk lk bk On june 25, 1930, the group composing the two teams, under the care of Coach Peifler, sailed from New York on the S. S. Caracas. After five wonderful days at sea the ship landed at San juan, Porto Rico, where a lay-over of ten hours was made. In this way, every one had a chance to see the sights of San juan. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Caracas put out of the harbor for what proved to be a rather rough voyage across the Caribbean Sea. With the excep- tion of a very few, every one in the Perkiomen party became seasick during the trip. The Caribbean can be a rough old sea when she wants to be. On the morning of july 3rd the boys awoke early and went on deck. Words cannot tell the sight that met their eyes. The Caracas was anchored in the harbor of La Guaira, Venezuela. The Andes Mountains, some 5,000 feet high, came down to the very edge of the sea. The natives in their small fishing boats were leaving the shore to go after the morning catch. The fort half-way up the mountains, the old Spanish homes, the small boats with their native boat- men made a memorable sight. fConlinued on page 1303 ne nw its-fiff'.1 NNI. High-Lights on the South American Trip of Perkiomen's 1929-19 30 Basketball Team lConIinued from page 1375 By ten o'clock every one in the group had settled the small affairs that are necessary on entering a foreign port. The official party came aboard. After much handshaking and greetings the boys were taken in automobiles for a two- hour trip over the mountains to Caracas, the capital of the country. A busy two weeks followed in Caracas. Exhibition basketball games played in the bull rings, dances and tea parties in their honor, swimming at various outdoor pools, and many other events kept the boys on the go every minute. From here the entire party was taken on a sixty mile trip over the mountains to La Victoria, a quaint old Spanish town. Another busy week slipped by. Baseball games and cock fights fan old Spanish sport which was enjoyed very muchj ate up the time. Small trips were made into the interior of the country. One of these was to the Colonel's ranch. Horseback riding, fishing and deer hunting were indulged in and every one had the time of his life. It is certain that those days at the ranch, miles from civilization, will live long in the minds of all. On the return to La Victoria, some rode horseback while the rest of the party traveled in cars. The horseback trip lasted five hours and the riders, particularly, will never forget it Cfrom the physical standpoint, alsoj. The last few days in Venezuela were spent in Caracas, where good luck permitted seeing a bull fight. It was, indeed, the most colorful affair of the whole trip. The day before the boat sailed for home, Colonel Gomez presented two large silver cups to the boys. Every one was very sorry to have to say Good- bye to this young man who had done so much for them. Words cannot express his character and ability. The people of Venezuela are fortunate in having a man like he to look after their welfare. After a marvelous farewell party, the S. S. Carabobo, with all aboard, put out from La Guaira. Another rough voyage across the Caribbean to Porto Rico followed. Here a transfer was made to a larger boat, the S. S. San Lorenzo. While on this ship the days were idled away in playing all kinds of deck games and in dancing. At the end of a trip that was altogether like a dream, the San Lorenzo steamed into New York Harbor. It was the wind-up of a glorious journey to a foreign land which not one of the party will ever forget. n al A. 11411- She was sitting in a dark corner.
