Class of func 1923 Fourteenth.-Inasinucli as certain individual possessions are mentioned 1n this testament, they are here enumerated: First.-Since throughout our Normal life there has always and continu- ally been the golden glint of auburn hair in the persons of Charlotte Barr, Amy Smalley, Flora Taylor, Vin Skeggs, Mary Smith, Florence Rees, Dorothy Schoal, May Harnett and Louise Weadon, we will their beauty and pleasure to their future classes. Second.-One of our number, namely, Angelina Petrillo, is known to hold for another, Mary, surnamed Rennie, a strong affinity. VVe do abstractly and immaterially bequeath the aforesaid Mary to aforesaid Angeline. Third.-A certain merry laugh, viz., he-he-ho-ho! belonging to Vin Skeggs we bequeath to future presidents to keep up their spirits. Fourth.-VVe will the quarters unreturned for locker keys to Miss Logan. She demanded that we give them to her, but she never particularly demanded that she give them b-ack. Hereis to a new spring hat! We will the class treasury to Mr. Vanderslice. Render unto him there- fore your dues forevermore, as he cannot maintain an existence on our present disability, to produce fifteen cents per week. VVe seriously hope Van won't depend on this income so much as to give up his solemn vocation of pedagogy. Fifth.-To all future men of the school we bequeath. Dutch Roeseras bow ties unto their heirs and assigns forever. ' Sixth.-Certain hot air said to belong to Barney Shear we will to the building for the purpose of heating in winter only. Seventh.-The perfect marcel wave belonging to lNIorris Risen we will and bequeath to all future students, male and female, not so endowed. All possessions earthly and unearthly and not herein mentioned we will and bequeath to the school in general to be used as an endowment, the interest of which shall yearly be paid out in the purchase of strong knee supporters for the benefit of those who teach for the first time in the school of practice and the residue to- go for the same purpose in the adjunct school, entitled, The Flea and the Climber. Done in the Philadelphia Normal School on thishtwenty-second day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. 73

Class of func 1923 Athlviirn SOCCER When the call was made for a soccer team in the fall of 1921, scarcely enough men responded to form a full team. However, with the veterans of the previous year, and Roeser, Shear and Gerofsky as regulars, Coach Smith suc- ceeded in whipping a team into shape. Although we had no field of our own, no uniforms, and in some cases not enough men to fill all the positions, we succeeded in holding our heads above water and in drawing a little support from the school. VVith the fall term of 1922 came a large class of men who increased interest in athletics. YVe now had uniforms and sufficient men to fill all vacancies. The lack of a suitable place to practice still hindered us. Lichterman was elected captain. Our team was more successful this season than in any previous year. At last Normal School had developed a team of which it could be proud. BASKETBALL During the past two years, basketball has been one of the leading sports at Normal. This last season was the most successful one Normal has ever experienced. VVe defeated Temple Prep., Schoolship. Annapolis, Narberth High and the Alumnae, but the one game where she showed the most spirit was with Southern High. The South Philadelphia quintet were the city,s champions. Normal led throughout the game, but was finally defeated by the score 30-31, in favor of Southern. The boys on the team received the coveted Ni, and also a silver basketball. The team was composed of the following: McKinney, Dabrow, Roeser, Goldblatt, Gottlieb, Frost, Fisch, Foreman, with lVIcKinney, Roeser and Gottlieb from the Advanced Senior Class. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Our athletics have been one of the most noteworthy phases of our Normal School career. The girls have participated actively in the gymnasium work. They helped cfcarry on the Athletic Association to make it a huge success. Tennis, swimming, held day, hockey, captain ball, and basketball are a series of events which trained us physically. The basketball games have been our most important ones, being interscholastical. The seniors who took part in those games are: Misses VVhite, Holden, Yearsley, Weyand,' Champlin, Simmons, Skeggs and Smalley. In these pages we have epitomized the students, efforts to promote athletics in the Philadelphia Normal School. We have diligently cultivated the seed planted by former classes. Fortune has smiled upon it. The plant has sent forth its first blossoms. It remains for the coming classes to gather the fruit. It is the desire of each member of this Athletic Committee that this im- portant branch of life and education should not only flourish in our school, but in the life of each one of his classmates. Letis give a good strong ulocomotivev for Normal, with three fights on the end. 75
