Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1939 volume:

MI LESTCDNE JANUARY, me Pulvlishecl by the One l lunclrecl Fifty Sixth Class oi the Philadelphia High School For Girls Philadelphia Pennsylvania LINCOLN Ye hronzed image of the finest man That ever yet was formed from prairie soil and blood of pioneer A plain and simple man who had no peer Un earth and whose equality to saints and other martyrs Time will write with golden pen on page of History- Who more than thee, O martyr to a cause, Could teach us that the right is ever best- What lessons yet of brotherhood and peace Dost thou deliver from a long deserved rest? If we have served the world the truth will be That our ideals of service sprang from thee. Marcia Helen Levyn. S A heat swept plain, an empty wind whipped land, Devoid of life and breath of rain filled cloud. But lo, a flower, all alone, and proud! What courage! bravest of the brave to stand With head and arms upraised and heart unbowed, To bear the winds and sun of Godls great strength That rend the boldest hearts, and scar the hand Gf him who stands not strong. But when at length The winds subside, still left are those who knew The courage to endure, to bear the pain, Who learned to love the sun in thirst for rain. And when the pangs of strife are gone and through The clouds comes forth cool rain, the test is o'erg A flower grows, so small but just a little taller than before Mathilde von Zech DEDICATION HELEN FHEYTN EY BAILEY Miss Baileyls delicate injections of philosophy, of humor, of invaluahle hits of wisdom, her own adorable way of reading a play to us: and her hroadminded view of girls' lives and their needs are a few of the concrete somethings she gives us. Nohody is more conf siderate of rushed and husy seniors than Miss Bailey. Can we ever forget how sweet and entirely adorahle she is? Can we ever hegin to show our appreciation of hei '..... for her? XVill we not always rememher her inspiring talksg how she unsuspectingly offers help and grants concessions when wc desperately need them: how, when she talks even ahout tiresome duties, they hecome enchanting privileges: how, when she looks directly at us and talks directly to us, we want so much to have some closer connection with her? To Miss Bailey, our guiding light, our inspiration, we give our love, an infinitesimal drop of which we signify in the dedication of this hook. FOREWORD C bo l X o This is our book, the achievement of the january 1939 Annual Staff. We have felt it grow from a few hastily sketched ideas to a finished bookg and the joy of seeing our work in print is ineffable. We have tried to make this Milestone more than a mirror of Girls High life. Reflection indicates representation of outer appearances, this we have done through photography. But more, we have aimed to represent the essence of life and spirit that is Girls High, In Ozzy is incorporated the gayety of girlish temperaments, the sparkling wit that inspires such productions as Hallowe'en and Washington stunts, and the friendly funfpoking that makes our associations more delightful. Nor have we forgotten the classes which are the essential part of G. H. S., they are represented by the clubs. As Dr. Stoddard said during his recent visit, the real value of classroom work lies in the stimulation given to the students to study further. Thus the featuring of the clubs is the featuring of the classes. We have been particularly fortunate to have witnessed two unique events. The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Alumnae Association, comf ing this term, gave us an opportunity to lay stress on the graduate group. We seniors, about to leave G. H. S., find in this half century gathering of graduates the same enthusiasm and joy of cooperation we found here. Outstanding also was the visit of Dr. Stoddard, superintendentfelect of the Philadelphia Public Schools. It was to G. H. S. that all eyes were centered in December to learn what the guest of our Parent Teachers Association would say on his first visit to the Philadelphia schools. Notwithstanding the advantages that we as a record book staff enjoyed, if this book pleases it is in great part due to the energy and inspiration of our guide, Miss Rosengarten. She accepted the sponsor' ship of the Milestone last September when she became a member of our faculty. A quick glance through the following pages will show how much a part of the school atmosphere she has become in these few months. With no more ado we leave you to the remaining pages of the January 1939 Milestone. MILDRED POLLACK, Editor. ACULT DR. I-IARTS MESSAGE January 9, 1939. My dear Girls: I have been much interested in watching the staff of M ilestone' gathering material for this unique volume. I am glad to see that in addition to being a delightful class history, it promises to be a rich chronicle of the life and purposes of our school. That is as it should be. I am sure this edition of the Year Book will take its place in the most precious corner of your personal library. I like to think that along with other Zllilestones it will be on the book shelves also of hundreds of girls in the lower classes, recording for them, semesf ter by semester, the story of their high school days. I hope that you, too, have in your possession copies of the year books of earlier terms and that as you look over their pages from time to time, you will realize how truly we write the story of our lives hour by hour, day by day. You have contributed a great deal to the life of our school. Will you remember that you may go on heaping laurels on your Alma Mater? We look to the girls of the class of JANUARY 1959 to bring many new honors to the school we all love. Faithfully yours, Olive Ely Hart.

Jfedlev' There rises from beyond the utmost rim Of sky, where all the earth and heaven merge, A gentle force that sweeps the world, to purge The souls of men and brighten eyes, grown dim, With knowledge and with joy, to wake and urge These spirits, long asleep, to lift, to give Of truth and peace to others, who forlorn, Forsaken, dare not hope to die or live. In willow leaves of frail and filmy thread, Touched to silver hy the icy moon, There is this force that springs from some far hed, In sky and stars and azure waved lagoon, But mostly in this friendship that we know. Mathilde von Zech President, Mathilde Von Zech Treasurer, Phyllis Vvfoolfolkg Secretary, Ethel Greasleyg VicefPresident, Marjorie Ross Dearest Girls: Let this be our pledge, our determination: to toil steadfastly over the narrow, rocky, mistfcovered path of life, leaving with joy' ful hearts the wide plains of childhood behind us, to endure bravely the harsh pain of rocks that wound, to appreciate the sun's iridescent glow which pierces the brooding mist, and above all to have faith. This is not too much to vow, for beauty has been our dwelling place for so long that our souls have accepted gracious and comely things as their own. We have grown sensitive in body and mind to beauty. Life holds no terrors of ugliness for us, we can seek and find loveliness. Friendship, also, has been instilled in our hearts as a vital and indispensable part of full living. We have learned that love is not a confined and narrow orbit, but a vast expanse of life that reaches everywhere and gives the tiniest flower hope and the weariest mother strength. These lessons, whether they were of word, of action or of thought, have been emblazoned upon our spirits forever. Let us then advance beyond our fondest dreams and visions of G. H. S. into the world of grim reality with love in our heart, beauty in our minds, and faith in our souls. Love, Mathilde von Zech.

In the midfwinter of 1935 our class began its stay at Girls' High. February saw a timid group of little Freshmen trying to fit themselves into this strange new life. But with the help of big sister sponsors, we bewildered youngsters found our way. Great was the impression made upon us by Mrs. Stevenson who addressed us as My dear young ladies and by Miss Glenn who taught us the mathef matics of Latin. In that term came the presentaf tion of Romeo and Juliet, and the Frolic, our first, with Hanya Holm and the Mary Wigman Dancers. On we went into 9B feeling somewhat dazed. Time wanders on! 9B's Produce Gala County Fair for Christmas Fund As 9B's our first big event was our Christmas project, the County Fair. We felt for the Hrst time a sincere class pride in its social and financial success. Along with the excitement of Christmas activities came the senior play, If I Were King. We adf vanced into IOA rather selffassured, little suspecting what a difference the advent of junior high school girls would make. Time struts land stumblesj on! CLASS HISTORY REVIEWED AS TIME MARCI-IES ON Many Recruits join Ranks of Sophomore Class Our 1OA term was one of our most trying. We had to overcome prejudice and shyness and learn the practical value of unity in other fields than English compositions. The beautiful production of A Midsummer Night's Dream delighted us tremendously. We saw with pride the performances in this play of Mathilda Reiser, Joyce Schlesman and Betty Hearn. When the Frolic again rolled around, another one of our girls, Gertrude Fletcher, received a major part in Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall. We felt, as we progressed into IOB, a growing sense of maturity. Time staggers to its feet! School Mourns Loss of Three Beloved Teachers Most outstanding of our IOB term, was the loss of three faculty members: Miss Sterling, sponsor of our Dramatic Club, Miss Connelly, school librarian, and Miss Howell, our English teacher with her neverftofbefforgotten uquiet hour. As a second Christmas project we presented the famous old movie, I'The Hunchback of Notre Dame. About this time also we saw the senior play, Elizabeth the Queen, in which Dorothy Walodor and Relba Marks gave superb perforf mances. At last we could look forward to being in the upper school. We felt new strength in ourselves. Time walks hopefully on! Porky Pig Leads 'Youngest Gym Team Walt Disney's comedy character, mascot of the green team, brought the 11A s in third. Cne of our girls, Edith Kimelman, tied Annette Keogh for second place. How we enjoyed the cheering, sing' ing, and yelling that accompanied our first particif pation in the Gym Contest! The Frolic play, The Purple Masli, will never be forgotten for its thrilling intrigues and mysteries. Our own Gertrude Fletcher, Mathilde von Zech, and Barbara Davis had important roles in it. It was in this term also that lasting friendships were established. A spirit of comradeship began to pervade our class. Time ambles on! Two IIB Officers Lead the Service Club Under jane Bortel Barbara Davis and Louise Ley were elected vice' president and secretary respectively of the Service Club. And as president of our own class we chose Mathilde von Zech. We felt pride in the twentyf one year old privilege we were exercising so freely. The highlight of this term was the choice of the first Junior Board of the P. T. A. from our class. We looked forward with great expectation to our senior year. Would IZA never begin? Time runs on. Seniors Take Trip to Capitol Cf all events in our high school years we shall best remember our Washington Trip. Never shall we forget the grandure and gravity of our national capitol, or the bus drivers and guides who took us through it. During this term a budding artist, Naomi Kirpich, was awarded first prize in a city wide poster contest. In the gym contest our team, aided by The Three Musketeers, placed second. The Frolic with its play, As You Like It, climaxed the 12A term events. Finally realizing the cares as well as the joys of seniorhood, we anticipated our graduating term. Time races on! Sure that seniority and superiority were synonf ymous, we began the term with slightly enlarged heads. Washington was behind us, and the Senior play yet to come. Cur rosters were tough, but the senior teachers were grand. Economics we thought we could coast through, but what a surprise was in store! Banks and the Federal Reserve System had us stumped. But definitely! Senior day with our Hrst black dresses left us a bit tearful. Roses, pressed tenderly, are the only remains of that wonderful day. We remember the Hallowe'en stunt and the extra dixiefcup that no one missed. Then Truth, like jupiter's thunderbolt, smote our faltering hearts. What a refreading of Burke, Shelf ley, and Keats occupied us! Soon followed Christmas with its pocket and energyfdraining activities. With what genuine def light did we visit the kindergartensw-now for the last time! Why was our last year slipping away so quickly? Extrafcurricular activities coupled with plenteous homework allowed no breathing spell. But a few weeks before graduation, time slowed its rapid pace. The weeks now seemed to crawl by as we breath' lessly anticipated commencement. Hoopfskirt or no hoopfskirt, that was the quesf tion, the most convincing argument being that we were to sit nineteen in a row. Then came the awful moment when we called him and invited him to the Prom. Graduation was almost at hand.

Evelyn Schmukler EXCERPTS FROM COMMENCEMENT THESES Truth As Revealed By History Mary Stouffer Delivered by Claire Chertcoff But history is not a cold, black record of men's evil deeds and wars. When it speaks of art, music, heroes, and the people themselves, it is complete and offers inhnite things to one who can grasp them. The art of all mankind rings with joyous truths. It brings the greatest a man can gain from historyfa love of his fellow man. To the man who has a true feeling for all men comes greatness of soul. Through the years have come the works of man, the Greek art, pure in form, the Venetian and Florentine typography of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Michelangelo's perfect bodies, Ryder's seas, and the skies of Stieglitz. Such beauty, created by the hands of men, must surely unfold the great good in man, though his evil hides it. A man may go to a Gothic cathedral, and seeing there the stupendous grandeur of its outline, the exquisite g.ace of its design, and the solemn expressions upon the faces of its old carved saints and kings, may ask himself whether the men who built it could be utterly barbarous and tyrannical, or whether the Power which could bring out such noble qualities of the human mind and heart must not have left its trace upon man' kind. Man's achievements in art convey a picture of man as the doer, the creator, who follows divine im- pulses. It is a picture that brings man a lasting faith in his fellow men, the supreme creation of God. History contains beauty that should touch the heart of humanity. What vistas of achievement and fulfill' ment of dreams come to men through truth! The values of History are that it teaches the lessons of political wisdom, spreads the knowledge of past ideas and of great men, and makes us in moments of diviner solitude feel the poetry of time. The first two func' tions are infinitely valuable, for their truths hold the key to the solution of the havoc and wreck that is the world today. If only the strife and animosity could cease for a calm hour so that men might fill their hearts with these truths! History is in its highest range when it should make us feel the poetry of time and the passing of the race through many epochs along the highways of eternity. Therein lies the answer to man's eternal question of what he is, and what is his relation to the universe. Taking Truths of History Seriously Mildred Pollack Delivered by Barbara Davis But see what science has proved! The substantiality of matter, the sole prop in life of many of us, has been wiped away before our very eyes! We stagger, mentally blind, trying to grasp something that can support us, something that will remain ever constant, unchanging in a rapidly changing universe. We seek the one Being to which all truths are related, a oneness to which all distracted worldly and spiritual things may cling. Matter has proved to be a mere idolg it is only the appearance of reality. We seek reality! Science has not wronged us by destroying the object of our worship. lt has given us implications of a wonderful Infinite Being. By extinguishing the glare of the idol, it has revealed the glorious, allfenveloping, incandescent radiance of God! We have only begun to conceive of the immenslty of our journey toward truth. But do you see how far we have progressed? By realizing the subordinaf tion of material things, we have opened boundless avenues of adventure. A new way of life is made possible, a way not demanding continual motion to gain and overthrow material, but a slow, thoughtful journey across the sands of time. It is the philosophic way and the spiritual way by which we are receptive to all truths through reason and intuition. It must not be thought that to take truth seriously requires continual dreaming in the face of actionfdef manding circumstances. Not at all! For life itself is a continuous process of meeting and solving problems. Should we engage all our time in contemplating abstracf tions, life would be worthless. The most successful life is one of everlasting seeking after truth and apply' ing it, once found, to everyfday situations. That is the important thing. Nor does a follower of such a life in any way condemn or hinder material progress. To do that would be foolish, since material is the tool with which we shape greater things. Our faculties have been so adjusted that material is the most easily manif fest thing in our lives, the score from which we hear music, the canvas on which we see art. But although we live constantly with it, we need not permit it to narrow our lives by its limited properties. Let us tap the tree of truth as far as our understanding allows, and pour its lifefgiving sap over the substance of our world. To what height and beauty will the seeds of mankind then grow! Living the Truth Marie MacAleer Delivered by Mathilde Von Zech Over eighteen centuries ago, in his Epistles to the Romans, Saint Paul wrote, Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, but glory, honour, and peace to every man that worketh good. Since that great period of spiritual enlightenment, man has ever recognized in theory the wonderful truth of this doctrine but has in actual practice doubted its value. Men are tragically prone to regard their ideal of truth somewhat as an object of art, a beautiful vase, for example, lovely to look at and fine to show with pride to the world, but impossible to use in any phase of daily work: it would be too fragile and would shatter beneath the strain and stress of life's terrific problems. Yet if only given the chance this truth would prove itself to be a tool more powerful than any ever wrought from iron or strongest steel, a tool with which man could build his life on its destined magnificent proportions. The effects of taking this truth seriously ac manifest indirectly and directly, first in the pattern of world social conditions, and secondly in the Hbre of the individual. The appalling condition we find in the world today is caused by the strange disregard of the truth as a practical and practicable way of life by large groups of people, who fail to realize that they share in the situation their own acts create. It may be a fact that powerful leaders have risen to introduce and enforce theories based on hate, and laws with conquest and power, in the narrowest sense, as their aim, theories and laws which offend all the precepts of God and the Spirit: but it is also a fact that such leaders would be nonfexistent in a land where truth had been the motivating and molding force in the life of each individual. Aspiring leaders cut their foot' steps in the petty prejudices and sellishnesses of inf dividuals, which, taken each alone, would seem trivial, but which, taken as a whole, form, like the stones in a mosaic, a pattern terrible in its implications. Race antagonism and religious intolerance are the most tragic attitudes into which man can fall. They are natural outgrowths of selfishness and ignorance. In his fierce struggle for existence, man seeks a cause for his trouble and blames it upon the man of alien race or religion. The alien's ways are different from his ways, and since he cannot understand them, they take on in his mind sinister signihcances. These illogical thinkers are easy dupes for dictators whose great strength lies in keeping the people united in some feverish enterprise or national movement which commands all their emotional strength. Truth Applied to the Solution of Social Problems Frances Mongin Delivered by Frances Mongin Today we live in a world in which the majority or at least the ruling class of most nations looks upon truth as opposed to reality, and not as a means of solving its social problems. Statesmen find it most expedient to work for peace not by removing the causes of war, but by consistently preparing for war. Today we live in a world which eases its conscience by bountifully giving charity once a year, usually at Christmas, and then forgets all about its responsibilities, and gives little thought to the improvement of the state of the pauper and to the prevention of unemployf ment. W'e spend millions to punish juvenile criminals, and almost nothing to prevent juvenile delinquency. We maintain Departments of Health and Bureaus of Investigation to detect and prosecute quacksg but we never bother to look into the results of the work which these departments have done, because we should have to spend a few minutes reading their publications. The American Public is still a guinea pig for every cure-all put on the market. A city will spend three millions for two subway tubes that have never been used, when it has the third worst housing accommodations in the nation. Black picture, isn't it? Yet, what are our social problems but the concrete results of the refusal on the part of members of society to take the truth seriously in their relations with one another? Social problems are the distortions of truth brought about by an indifferent public. We must face the truth of present opportunity for social improvement. It is wrong to look irrationally into the future to find a solution for our present problems. We dare not make vague mumblings about the great improvements that the coming generation will bring, but must take it upon ourselves to accomplish the task. It is very discouraging to young people to notice the refusal of their elders to appreciate the reality of present opportunity. The responsibility to solve the social problems that confront us is ours. Indeed, for social improvement, as for any other action, there is no time but the present. The salutatory was written and delivered by Ethel Greasley. 71 O 70 -4 I rn cn I m m JU CD N4 O 'Fl EDNIAHEIS ,af 2 , LIBRARY AIDES .fs ... O41 -Q ,. VicefPresident LOUISE LEY Secretary MABEL MISSIMER SERVICE CLUB President BARBARA DAVIS When I was asked to write a message for the Milestone, my first thought was one of caution. The realization that my words are to be preserved on paper for posterity to commend or disapprove is indeed appalling. I therefore determined that this paper must contain undeniable truths I have learned from my stay in Girls High. The eighth chapter of Deuteronomy is a passage known to all of you, I am sure. Yet I wonder how many see what a striking similarity there is between that description of Judea and our own United States. Our country is in truth a land of olive oil and honey, wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness . . . whose stones are iron and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. Along with my realization of our country's greatness came the knowledge that the life of a democratic nation is at the mercy of its people. I learned that we, as future helmsmen of the nation, must have practice in the ways of democracy so that we may not guide our country on the rocks. This is the primary reason for student government. I hope you will remember that we are still experimenters in selffgovernmentg that, although there is much we can learn by the trial and error method, a great wealth of advice and counsel is needed from our elders. Democracy is a four year course in Girls High School which demands daily study and application by each individualg but, as in all other courses, we must look for the guidance of wiser, more experienced persons. Sincerely 1 BARBARA ANN DAvis. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The School Service Glub is the foundation of all our student government. Its elections are patterned after our national system and are held at the end of each term. The president conducts executive councilg the vicefpresident, representative council. The executive body is made up of the captains of study hall, lunch room, and traffic along with a special number of girls elected from each class. The representative body, on the other hand, is com' posed of the aides of every section and the student and faculty sponsors. The activities of our student government body are too numerous to be mentioned. Yet one seemf ingly small duty we feel ought to be noted: the gift of flowers to any girl who is ill or in whose house there is a death. Such consideration is always appref ciated, and it makes us think of the Service Club as something more than the pivot of student governf ment. The president is Barbara Davisg vicefpresident, Louise Leyg secretary, Mabel Missimer. The members of executive council are Grace Wilf son, captain of traiiic, Marian Siano, study hall captain, Rachel dela Pia and Frances Schlegal, lunch- eon lieutenants, and the representatives of the various classes: 12B 11A Ruth Downing Elizabeth Kikushima Gertrude Fletcher Marcia Murdock Mary Stouffer IOB UA Helen Lawry Goncetta Leone Constance Loving IOA Mildred Petnick Evelyn Bouden l 1B Stella Pappas 9B Gloria Miraldi Sara jane Miller STUDY HALL MILESTONE By snooping everywhere with cameras, dashing hither and yon in search of information, writing zealously about people and places, typing, cutting, pasting, mounting, and finally . . . worrying, the annual staff manages to produce a record of school life during the term. The MILESTONE shows us at work and at play. It explains school institutions, describes events, and pokes fun . . . at seniors. It is therefore valuable to the lower school as well as to the graduating class as ba vivid picture of life at school.

ENTERTAINS The Parent Teacher Association is exactly what its name indicates: it is a tie between the home and school. Through this organization, parents receive a more understanding view of their daughters' school life, and teachers have an opportunity to speak directly to parents about pupils' problems. This term the P. T. A. held a Parents Night in which mother and father followed their daughters roster through shortened periods. They attended all her classes and met all her teachers. Outstanding among the term events of the P. T. A. was the visit of Dr. Stoddard, new superintendent of schools. As a guest of the association, he spoke most inspiringly ahout the aims of puhlic education, stressing initiative as a most desirahle characteristic for students seeking wellfrounded educations. L .

A rally, held November twentyfninth, was the culmination of the activities. On this occasion, former Girls High stu' dents had an opportunity to see the dresses they themselves wore at graduation in a fashion show presented by present Senior girls. A farce on the first gym contest and a basketball game in which the seniors defeated the Alumnae illustrated the great progress the athletic department has made. 1 8 7 5 ANNIE H. SNYDER The association had its origin back in 1889 when Girls High was known as the Girls Normal School. Since then its membership has steadily increased to eleven hundred. Great strides have been made to bring Alumnae in close contact with daily school life. Orchestra and vocal classes are conducted by Miss Weir and Miss Gollg Dr. Faust leads a poetry reading classg and Mrs. Armstrong conducts a group in the art of the dance. Alumnae day, too, affords an opporf tunity for former graduates to visit their Alma Mater. ALUMNAE RALLY LIEBOWITZ TWINS SKETCH GRADS The Charter Memlwers of the C. H. S. Alumnae Association numhered twentyflive. The leading spirits of this group were Matildzl Barnes Lukens, lvlinnie lvlurdoch Kendrick, and lvlary C. Dickes Geisler who hecame in their respective order the first three presidents of the Alumnae Association. Eight of the Charter Meiiihers were nieinhers of the Faculty of the High and Normal School. The ohjects of the organization as given in the Constitution were: The cultivation of social relations among the graduates, the promotion of the hest interests of the school and the furthering in every way of all efforts looking to the enlargements of opportunities for women. Four Scholarships are under the control of the Alumnae Associaf tion: The Lidie Bower Saul, and lvlinnie lvlurdoeh Kendrick seholarf ships to Bryn Mawr College, and the Rohert lVIcLaughlin and Lydia A, Kirhy open scholarships. The Anniversary Luncheon is given at the BellevuefStratford Hotel each year on the fourth Saturday in january. This year, January 28, 1939, celehrates the Colden Anniversary. A plan has hsen launched to provide a Scholarship Foundation Fund. ll' every graduate would contrihute one dollar each year for ten years, the goal would he realized. This would make a very fitting Une Hundredth Birthday gift for our school. M. 1AxMIiLIA Ro1x1NsoN, President, Alimimle IASSOCIILIUIOTI of the Girls High and Normal School. EMILY C.

It seems impossible to imagine a new group of freshmen beginning school life without the understanding sponsors to guide and help them. To the classes already initif ated these older sisters act as ties between faculty and students. The responsibilities of the oilice def mand most intelligent, understanding, responsible, and taetful girls . . . and such they are.

Santa Claus! Trees dancing with bright colored balls and tinsel! Holly! Stockings! Toys! Gifts! Good will to men! All are part of the G. H. S. yuletide season. The school plays Santa Claus to poor children throughout the city. Many are the boys and girls in kindergartens and schools made happy by overflowing stockings and toys. And what a joy it is to the students to dress dolls, pack toys, and deliver the gay packages to the eager little youngsters! But not only with toys does G. H. S. spread happiness. Baskets of food, too, are distributed generously to needy families. The Christmas fund is accumulated in various ways. Besides the sale of candy and cake after school, the Service Club has one main project in which all classes participate. This year it was a County Fair with marionette show, tumbling, melerf dramerf' and hobby show. In addition each class has moneyfmaking enterprises of its own. Outstanding among these is the Fashion Show, presented by the senior class. The latest things in fashion are worn by senior mannequins, and the show is climaxed by a bridal party. This year, to climax the activities, a most beau- tiful cantata was presented. It was indeed a school production since our orchestra and choral groups staged it, and Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Weir wrote words and music. The beautiful tableaux, depicting the life of Christ, were arranged by members of the Eng'ish Department. 51 CHRISTMAS THE HERALDS NATIVITY CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE CANTATA HE WER Wm Vfiffafgf' JSM 5 .,?,WM , , 'I Q f , A gif?

If by poetry she meant the intangible beauty that is symbolized by true facts, this teacher has expressed both the most potent means to education and its great object. It is true that our enjoyment in a subject depends upon the amount of beauty we find in it, But since the time allotted for each subject usually allows for the bare assimilation of facts, those who have received the greatest 'kpoetieu stimulus from a subject meet to further their study in it after school. Thus our clubs originated and grew. 55 f 'D Uk -4 if Q, ' s z Q 5 Kgs? r ff A S .Ww 6 , F Q 'Ta' If , ggi FY' I Q as .., S' 'I IW ai 'K Q ,, S-if 2 ZH CLASSICAL A very unique and interesting eluh, one which few other schools possess, is nur Classical Cluh, lt is composed ol Latin and Creek students, and meets hut once a term because of its great size. A great part of the Classical Clulw is cuinposed of students of Latin, while approximately forty students ut Creek swell the nuinhcrs. At this ternrs ineeting four plays or passages from fainnus classics were presented. By the Latin students a Roman wedf ding, extremely realistic and very heautitul, and Curiulanus were given. The Creek students pref sented Lucien's dialogue hetween Charon, ferrynian of the Styx, lvlenippus, the Cynic philosopher, and Hermes. This extremely huinc,mrous presentatinn preceded the tragic parting scene hetween Hector, the Trojan warrior, and his wife Androinache. Very interesting and educational heside heing very lovely were these presentations. The Creek students have a cluh of their own called the Callista Cluh. X. Y. Z.-The mathematical wizards meet in comf mon love of figure iiguringf' Miss Owen and Miss Clark guide the girls in solving unusual prohf lems. They play too . . . at mathematical games. CURRENT EVENTSwTo keep up with all local, national, and international news in our husy lives is indeed a difficult task, yet the Current Events Cluh, with Miss McQueen as sponsor, attempts to do this. Chief among the topics of discussion this tcrm was the proposed New City Charter. Q. E. D.-'Yesl These girls love Geometry! Little can we wonder with Miss Clark as sponsor and a eluh program rich with originals and historic proofs. Their greatest accomplishment is the establishment of a tie hetween this ancient form of mathematics and skating. But when the proceeds go to the Christmas Fund, no comhination of interests is impossihle. DEBATING -Battles of thought with weapons of words are fought weekly hy memhers of this cluh. The thrill of matching wits on current topics of interest is enjoyed hy hoth sponsor, Miss Thompson, and mcmhers. After the formal dehate of the meet' ing is over, the girls enter into an informal discussion. PEACE f3'ls war ever justifiable? Under the leadership of Miss Dungan, the group tries to arrive at a satisfactory answer to this question. By study' ing modern trends of society, and attending puhlic peace meetings, the memhers go forth with the highf est pacific ideals. COLLEGE SETTLEMENT-'Only hy actual assof ciation with people can the real thrill of social work he experienced. How much enjoyment, then, must our own high school social workers get from super' vising play activities of neighborhood children, and conducting classes in sewing, cooking, drawing, and dancing in settlement houses all over the city! Miss Dilks is the cluh sponsor. BIBLE STUDY- Our group at Girls High, sponf sored hy Miss Hotfsten, coinhines with that of William Penn High School every other Thursday. The presidents of the two organizations alternate in leading the meetings, which are opened hy a hymn and a prayer from one of the girls. The teacher then conducts the lesson. This term the cluh has heen studying the Acts of the Apostles, which inf clude the life of Saint Paul. The meeting is closed with a hymn and a prayer. SCHOOL BEAUTIFUL These girls, one repref sentative from each section, are indeed the hcauty culturists of our school.

Indoor programs are supplemented by trips to Bartram's Gardens, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and various estates near Philadelphia. NATURAL HISTORY GLUBfThe pictorial bcauty of Fairmount Park, the thrill of seeing live wild animals at the zoo, and the tremendously inf tgresting specimens of prehistoric animals at the Academy of Natural Sciences greatly augment class room study for the members of Miss Atkinson's club. It is from this group that a committee is chosen to care for the greenhouse. GERMAN CLUB-The great music of Wagner and Beethoven and the simple German folk music, along with the folk lore and customs of the peas' antry make club periods fascinating. How much more interesting, too, becomes the language studied in class when Miss Wurster, the sponsor, tells of living Germany! JEWELRY CLUB-With Miss England as guide and instructor, these amateur artisans make pins of birchwood, design and fashion bracelets of metal, and are this term attempting to sculpture.

S., we expef rience a variety of emotions, worries about a current test or perhaps an unprepared recitation are first to usurp our attention. But these are quickly shoved aside by reminders of a morning meeting, or a message to be relayed to a friend, or a book to be returned to the library, or a multitude of other pressing affairs. Last comes the weighty realization, happy though it may be, that another whole day of school is ahead. As such emotions and fractional portions of thought flit through our brains, strains of music from room 108 reach usfcharins to soothe the wildness of our minds. All our new found cares dissolve in the waves of melody, refreshing, com' forting, intoxicating, uplifting! But hark! Me' thinks I hear the peal of yonder bell.

Advisory Period Will we ever forget those all too brief minutes upon which we pinned all our hopes of finishing that Latin, French, or Algebra? Advisory is the one period that never seemed too long. Remember all those exasperating interruptions such as, 'iListen to the Flier, girlslv, Doesn't anybody want to buy an lris? , or Mlnoday is the last day for orchestra collection and we have only two centsm? If our class officers aren't thus clamoring for attention, one of our classmates is sure to have spent a perfectly marvelous weekfend, or to have inet the most stunf ning blonde, or to have visited Princeton. Soinef how all our good intentions seem to vanish in the blissful confusion that starts the day. Yet despite the frantic activity, to no period do we look forward with such eagerness, nor is the passing of any period mourned so much. OF A SENIOR iw Aa .,,.. Q ff 'My N X ,sv X 1 -.-2 1 s X N J ,SQ Rug Cutting at Lunch Many people believe that a senior is an odd species of animal who takes life and work very seriously, and whose chief characteristic is dignity. A visit to fourth period lunch would do much to dispel this popular fallacy. After the dishes have been cleaned away, couples hustle, truck, rug cut, and execute the ever popular hesitation to the accompaniment of unique, to say the least, arf rangements of Shadrak and Artie Shaw's Indian Love Call, sung by seniors with mouths full of potato chips. Locker Room From the chaos of the locker room rises a confused mingling of each individual girl's chatter. Upon entering, you are accosted by flying belts, girls, and talk such as this: Was it hard, Hon? What did she ask you?' '...' 'He said . . . Does anyone have a belt7' '...' iWho did her French? . . . My mother says if I don't bring this suit home she'll come and get it herself! . . . I just washed my hair and I can't do a thing with it . . . L'Sure she got 'E,' she's a genius' '...' 'Whew, is it hot! . . . 'iWhat . . . The bell? . . . Let me out of here! I have to go to Social! . . . Meet me at Lincoln' '...' 'S'long . . . No wonder gym is called a period of exerciseffree exercise-of the tongues. Latin at Lunch Whoever thinks that lunch is a period for digest' ing vitamins, proteins, and carbohydrates either has Latin before that period, or belongs to that peculiar category of satisfied Latinfdoers. Queer indeed are those girls who do not mix Caesar, Cicero, or Vergil with a combination salad. Miss Zcrbe might be surprised to discover that some of her most elaborate culinary achievements are consumed with equal or greater parts of subjunctive constructions. Cften the food is swallowed entirely unnoticed. Intel' lectual we are to prefer Latin to lunch! After School It was fun watching our school transform at 2 :BO into hosiery, novelty, bakery, and candy shops bef fore our very eyes. As we looked down the hall we saw girls with pretzels, some with candy, others with popsiclesfall eating or carrying the merchandise of our own miniature stores. It was a great temptaf tion, for the goodies displayed tickled our hungry palates. But then too, we had that last nickel to consider. To buy or not to buy, that was the quesf tion, whether it would be better to endure the pangs of hunger or satisfy ourselves and devote our money to the Glee Club, County Fair, or Class Christmas Fund. We inevitably succumbed to the latter alter' native and left school with the buzz of activity in our ears. 'X fi -1 3 ull V- . ,L If-,Q ll X' 1 I Lu.. -I - 1 jp -1- .
