RUSSELL WE, the second graduating class of Sunny Hills School, are about to make our debut in new circles of life. Some of us will probably go immediately into this working world, while the rest will enter the more intellectual circles of institutions of higher learning. From time to time, good reports have been received of the first class. In order to continue this good work, we have a lot to live up to. If we are to set a higher goal for the third class, it will be necessary for us to extend ourselves to our capacity. What we will accomplish, we do not know. We can but do our best. We do know that Sunny Hills has given us a foundation of the highest type. Here we have tried to solve life's problems side by side. As a group, we have faced life and its realities and thus we have learned to become finer individuals. We have endeavored to attain a character of the highest type and to assimilate the ideals of Sunny Hills School. We must realize, that in entering upon the new phases of life, that it will be necessary for us to continue to live up to these high standards. Let us consider this our debt to Sunny Hills, and may each one pay his debt, and each with a high rate of interest. SENIOR CLASS ROOM RAYMOND ARTHUR RUSSELL Hd1 61'f07 6Zl, Pennsylwzfzipz Born May 1, 1919 at Hartford, Connecticut RAY was President of the Senior Class this year, a job which he took over with enthusiasm. He also found himself with football on his hands, and between the ground and the other players, he speedily developed into an end, wherewith his muscles became sore. Later on, baseball put him behind a catcher's mask, from which shelter he made himself hoarse shouting at the pitcher. Perhaps it was this that gave him the ever-abused faculty of falling asleep in study hall. Thisdid not damage his business ability, though, and he spent much time toward the end of the year sitting across the room from many a successful business man, going through the intricate designs of getting advertisements for the year book and Golden Leaves. W RICHARD ARTHUR GEIGER Wilminglon, Delaware Born August 5, 1920, at Wilmington, Delaware DICK plodded through the year surely but slowly. With slow methodical strokes, he did etchings, two of which were published in Golden Leaves. He was on the art committee of this magazine. With slow, methodical steps he paced around the campus, but in football, prestol Gone was that slowness, and we hear of Uflash triple-threat fullback Geiger charging over the line. He was vice- president of the class, and added much to the meetings by keeping quiet. Dick is as persistent as the March winds and ten bulldogs put together. MAE FRANK PICKERING New Orleans, Louisiana Born October 28, 1920, at Nashville, Tennessee FRANKlE'S gay southern accent, which causes her to say tin-thirty instead of ten-thirty, echoes all over Stephen-May. She was this year's Gavel Girl, and between dealing out sheets on Wednesday night, when there were no sheets, and seeing that all the mopping jobs got done in the morning when there were no mops, she had her small hands full and running over. She was also the class secretary-treasurer, and nary a dime slipped through Frankie. Many are the tales of woe told by opposing hockey teams of how Frankie, as a substitute halfback, nicked them here, and mowed them down there, in her ferocity. ls ll gall Nil sl Ml 1 r if ff lf i NA lie X wiuuu i1ANDoLPH fILARK Wzlmznglon, Delawme Born May 3, 1921, at Wilmington, Delaware IF WE were living back in the middle ages, Randy,' would be the most prized court jester for miles around, for if ever he as much as pauses between humorous statements and cracks, something really serious is up. He was Gavel Boy this year, and found himself busy forgetting the sheets on laundry day, and putting the little boys to bed hours late. He was a veritable night owl, but once a month he would go to bed early and be unable to sleep on account of the noise. Then there would be a great hue and cry about 'the sad state of affairs in the Boys' Lodge. As co- business manager of Golden Leavesj' he wangled ads in town, and as end on the football team, he bounced mightily. BARBARA FRENCH BERANGER New York City, New York Born February 26, 1921 at Hackensack, New jersey BARBARA truly lives up to the phrase adapted to all students, that of burning the midnight oil. This goes on night after night, while she pours in a very con- centrated and sleepy manner over various Senior subjects, or the many wordy entanglements through which a member of the Golden Leaves literary board often has to grope. But once find Barbara outdoors on a sunny day, and you will hardly recognize her. If it is in the hockey season, she will be charging down the channel allotted to a left inner wing, and yelling vigorously as she drives the ball furiously under the fence instead of into the goal. Once in the classroom, she sobers to a mood which submits to being buried under many papers covered with hieroglyphic scribbling, beneath which she types stencils as behts the editor of the Senior Class paper, or reads novels by P. G. Wodehouse as befits Barbara. WILLIAM LEONIDAS AYDELOTT New LUVIEHWJ, Louisiana Born December 12, 1919 at Nashville, Tennessee VBILLYI' revels in artistic scrawls of one sort or another. In fact, he has even gone so far as to teach the lower school the intricate designs of various arts. He is also an ardent schedule follower, allowing himself plenty of time for everything, and trying to keep anything from interfering with it. In this schedule he has found time to be head waiter, president o-f the Athletic Association, art editor of Golden Leavesf, and chief gardener in the formal garden. Add to this the prowess that usually accompanies an end on the football team, and there you have Billy himself. There is also contained therein a pretty constant idea of respon- sibility about everything, and a Southern sense of humor. ., ,., if ,VVV I GWlNNE'fT HOPKINS JONES Scamrdazle, New York Born April 25, 1922 at Port Deposit, Maryland HNETTIEU is known chiefly for her large collection of boxes which she frequently carries around and spills in various inconvenient places. She is the grim custodian of the school store, numerous budding plants and the feeding of a small white kitten, all of which she attends to when she gets time. As member of the Golden Leaves literary board, she contributed sage observations in their meetings, and as outer wing on the hockey team, she shot goals in between stumbling over her own feet. Nettie has a fundamental gentleness which underlies all her work. iilifilift W , . y wget, up , ..,., A,... E ye up VIRGINIA-PEYTON DAUGHERTY Sunny H2111 Srlaool, Wilminglon, Delaware Born December 6, 1921 at Berlin, Germany GlNNY'S moods usually give one the impression that she is something of a weathercock. In her actions she is not that way, when once decided about some- thing, she is hard to stop. She was editor of Golden Leaves, and issued royal jurisdiction from behind a red-covered novel. While playing hockey, she van- quished every other player in sight, and waving her stick in the air, chopped large hunks of dirt and grass out of the ground in order to drive the ball into the goal three feet away. When occasion demands, Ginny can be as serious as anyone, and it' is then that she writes wonderful stories and poems, and does good school work. At other times, she has spells of willful giggling, which are apt to result in anything. W ASHTON TALBOT GEIPEL Weil Plailaalelpnia, Pennsylvania Born September 20, 1919, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Ashton occasionally takes to imitating a Frenchman, when he is uproariously funny. Ashton's this and that have become standard jokes. Ashton lolling in a chair is not an uncommon sight, but Ashton on the go, constitutes a whirl- wind not easily to be reckoned with. Needless to say he is a hard worker. On the football team, Ashton on the line assures several bruises on the opposite line, and a large hole for the runners to get through where he had sat on live or six hardy opponents. ti gig 69 f Q 27,5 X .gf li . , Vi I V 4 ,L Z .:.,:,,, . .. JULEA STAD Philadelphia, Penmylwznia Born May 17, 1920 at Atlantic City, New jersey JULIE is full of action and vocal strength. She is forever singing the praises of every orchestra anyone ever heard of, or singing all the popular songs. julie carries a general air of joviality with her, and drops it wherever she may happen to be going. Hockey playing holds no terrors for her, rather it holds terrors for her opponents. Her baseball throwing is really something to marvel at., She has gained recognition by her renderings on the piano of all the latest jazz pieces, spirituals, and slightly-jazzified-classic music. HANN AH REBECCA MITCHELL Woodside Emmy, Hockesrin, Delaware Born May 30, 1919 at Wilmington, Delaware HANNAH has the genius of being a cook, and a good one. Her chocolate cakes fwhich to the Senior Class are few and far betweenj, are truly marvels. That is the culinary side of Hannah, correct to a crumb. From another perspective, she might be found knitting sweaters of mysterious shape, which, when finished, turn out to lit or not to fit the future owners. On the hockey field, she stands stolidly between the goal posts, gripping her stick with shaking hands and trying not to be nervous as the wild, stick-brandishing team sweeps down upon her. This is only on fall afternoons. At other times during the day she is helping with the nursery school. Her spare moments are taken up with hunting pictures and quotations for her ethics notebook and raising velvety dahlias for the living room tables of Sunny Hills. History of the Class of l938 IN 1933, the present dignified, and much revered Senior Class had its beginnings in a small, round, red-haired boy, whose curly mop was the delight of the adoring women faculty, and who submitted, in a wriggling way, to being kissed goodnight by them. This was Randy Clark. The class also included a lanky, precocious female child with pigtails, who was in a lower grade, but who forged ahead to her present status. Thus was Ginny Daugherty, and all this took place in the dark ages before Sunny Hills even had an upper school. The next arrival, before the high school was formed, was Gwinnett jones, who startled the conservative peace with offensive bangs oozing down her forehead. In 1935, the comparative quiet was again broken by the arrival of the first Upper School students, who thought they owned the world, and first in this wonderful ownership was Barbara Beranger, openly scornful of everything below and above the exalted rank of a sophomore. The class was complete for that year. By the time next fall rolled around, Randy had shot up and become wary of admirers of his red hair, Ginny was as wild as everg Nettie, formerly Gwinnett, had had her first permanent, and Barbara had abandoned lipstick for classes. Then came three new arrivals: Hannah Mitch- ell, who told us all about farms and Quaker meetings, julie Stad with violin in tow, whose numberless musical family figured in every other sentence, and Dick Geiger, who never said a word. That spring came Mae Frank Pickering fFrankie, after the first dayj, from New Orleans, with that soft southern accent, and a new way of fixing her blond locks in a topknot. The members of the Class of 38, as juniors, grew and waxed strong. Hannah became famed for her birthday parties at her farm, julie for her uproarious laughter and piano jazz, Dick for his ping pong and latent ability to dance to the fastest rhythms. By the fall of this year, our illustrious Class of '38 was complete with the addition of Ashton Geipel, who came during the summer, and brought with him an irrepressible good nature, and Ray Russell, that sheik from Philadelphia. Early at the commencement of this year, we elected our class officers. Ray, despite his apparent newness, became president, Dick Geiger became vice-president, and Frankie, secretary-treasurer. Their duties, beside class meetings, involved see- ing jewelers, the outcome of which was rings and pins slightly changed from last year. In our final newspaper project, Ray, the President, became besmirched with black ink from printing stencils, Dick nearly went cross-eyed from putting minute drawings on the stencils, and Frankie was almost driven completely crazy from cutting the printed sheets to the proper size. But in spite of these difficulties, they still remained good class officers. Once the whole class was together, there was no stopping them in anything. In football, Ashton was a belligerent linesman, Ray and Randy speedy ends, and Dick Geiger one of the star backfielders. Ginny absolutely cowered the opposing hockey team, as center, and later as halfback, Nettie and Barbara shot goals from left inner and outer wings, respectively. julie was also a halfback, but had the misfortune to break her hand early in the season. Her queer contraption to keep it in place while it was healing, made her the class joke. She had the kind of break typical of prizefighters, and women who hit their husbands. Hannah, clad in white shin-guards, filled the goal very effectively, and Frankie was a fierce sub- stitute at halfback. The class went at Core Period so enthusiastically, it could be heard for miles around. They made more noise in their miniature Constitutional Convention than those in the actual one, almost two hundred years ago, could possibly have made. Then there was the trip to Washington, where the boys fooled around' with water, either soaking their feet in it or waking each other up with it, and the girls talked in their sleep, and out of it, too, and kicked each other out of bed. The whole class had themselves finger-printed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, except Nettie and Ginny, who thought they might want to do something drastic in the future. The whole class became so absorbed in watching the aquarium, that the authorities had to turn the light off to get it out. There was the drive south when no one could accommodate the enitre group, and we foresaw a night in the cars. At our final destination, Culpepper, Mother gave the girls printed bandannas to wear on their heads, and the boys jews' harps. The boys refused to be seen with a bunch of immigrantsf' and kept pulling the bandannas off, while the girls listened patiently to the inexpert, but loud playing of the harps. With our last year drawing to a close, we have much to look back on, humor- ous and otherwise. We would like to tell here, of our appreciation for the three post-graduates who contributed to our funny and serious moments both: Alice D. Simmons and Bill Stewart, who were part of last year's Senior Class, and Billy Aydelott, who came to us from way down South in New Orleans. The Seniors at VVashington THE trip came as a privilege to see and understand the functions of our govern- ment, and to see the historical places which we had studied about. The three days we spent in the city itself were filled with actualities of white marble buildings, exhibits and posters, mechanisms of the Smithsonian Institute, the great bookcases in the Library of Congress, and the green lawns and richly furnished rooms of the White House. The Indian relics in the Department of the Interior, the fingerprint system in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the miniature seventeenth century English stage in the Folger Library held our inter- est, and provided side excursions from the main buildings and destinations. The night we saw the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial in the strong beams of the floodlights impressed us more than anything else. We had seen them all in the daytimeg the Capitol, solid, marble-stepped, with a dome that seemed dull for all its spaciousness, the Monument, tall and square-cutg the Memorial, clear white marble, shining in the sun. But that night, the dome of the Capitol glistened like spun sugar, the Monument melted into the sky instead of piercing it, and the Memorial, with its wonderful statue of Lincoln, was filled with soft black depths between the strong white pillars. There was also a sunny day when we drove to Mount Vernon and Arlington. The one was dignified, beautiful above the Potomac, the other friendly, surrounded by the grounds of the Arlington National Cemetery. They made different impres- sions on all of us. When we left Washington, we drove south through the famous Shenandoah Valley and the red clay hills of Virginia, and over the Skyline Drive through clear air and above fields and fields the colors of a patchwork quilt. At the end of the Drive, we turned northeast, and traveled back to Sunny Hills, with a wider horizon opened in front of us than before. SONNET TO THE STATUE OF LINCOLN IN THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL When everything seems darkgnaught bright, I'll climb the steps to where I see The man who lives eternally, And on his face there shines a light That shows at once the calm and might. I'll feel him gazing down on me In all his noble sympathy Down from his rugged height. I'll want to reach and touch those hands, And feel their strength in ebb and flow. And while I'rn there the night will wane, And golden daylight come again, Then there'll be joy, and I will know He sees and feels and understands. Dramatics, '37f' 3 8 THIS year has seen much dramatic talent being exhibited, in assemblies and at Christmas and Easter. Long before Christmas, parts were being distributed and learned for Peg O' My Heart, the play chosen for the end of the first term. Re- hearsals came and went, and, through many difficulties and some easy times, the play took form. The opening night brought forth an excellent performance, with Ray as the villain and Billy as Jerry julie as Mrs. Chichester almost stole the show. Between the Christmas and Easter vacations the dramatics class put on in as- sembly a three-week serial called The Family Upstairs. The rest of the school either rolled in the aisles, or waited for the next scene uto be continued next week. Other classes gave minor plays, most of them humorous. One assembly period, the ethics class gave the first two scenes of i'Green Pastures, and started something, a pretty large something, for the outcome was the fact that the Sunny Hills High School gave Green Pastures for the Easter play, in which everyone participated. Those on various committees were constantly at work on costumes, scenery, properties, and everything else. There were two dress rehearsals, in which samples of makeup were tried, so that everybody looked an entirely different color than everybody else. Small booths had been built along the sides of the auditorium, in which sat those who were not on the stage at the moment. They sat and sang twenty-five spirituals with much feeling, especially in the throat, as song rehearsal had been as hard, if not harder, than line rehearsal. Again another opening night rolled around, and between scenes smutty-faced angels and soldiers, to say nothing of the main characters, waved to their respective parents, and shifted back and forth along the benches. This was the first time that Green Pastures had ever been given as an amateur performance. Randy, as God, was excellentg Ray played Hezdrel with much zealg Billy and Dick played about four parts each, Ashton made a convincing preacher, and the girls, all except Barbara, who was Cain's Gal, wore angel wings and robes, and figured in the fishfry scenes. Green Pastures marked the end of the season of big plays, and from then on, there was a mere succession of assemblies, and the Senior Class in the thick of it with a local take-off of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Hockey '3 7 EVER since there has been a Sunny Hills High School, there has been a Sunny Hills Hockey Team. As the school has grown, so has the team, with more coopera- tion and teamwork among its members than in the years before. At the beginning there were many who had never played, and so the few games we did were against us. The next year found the same members on the team, and there was more unity. There were more outside games, and we were not beaten by so much of a margin as before. We tied one game, and then worked harder than ever, so that this year we had something definite to build on. Practice became much. better, the players more experienced and adept. We played several games with other schools, scored every time except once, won two games, and tied one. Thus has the team grown. In gaining a more successful season, we have also gained better sportsmanship, and learned how important it is. It took a fairly long time, but it was worth it, and this year's hockey team leaves to next yearis hockey team the bottom rung on the ladder that leads to the best. Front row: Robert Russell, Richard Geiger, Richard Mitchel, Thomas Mc- Carthy, William Bush, William Webb, Kimberley Doorly. Back row: Arthur Barab, managerg William T.

Football '37 THIS year's football team has proven the most successful yet. What started out as a small scrub team several years ago, has at last taken its place near the top, winning every game but one this season. Always in the early fall, the team mate- rial is raw, but at the end there are more good players and more boys who have learned to love football as a sport, both as a game and as an opportunity to express sportsmanship and cooperation. Class Will ofthe l938 . Seniors to the luniors THE remarkable, talented, and hard-working senior class of this year wish to present to their juniors such gifts as we think will be needful for their last year at school. Although we realize that the oncoming seniors do not have the won- derful capacity and will to learn and work as this year's seniors did, we will tolerantly overlook their shortcomings and fervently hope that they may follow to a small degree in the glorious footsteps of the seniors of 1938! Now on to the will! To Betty Harrington we leave all the stage properties in Sunny Hills for her to preside over and revel in. We want Betty also to inherit all those cute little jobs that belonged to our Senior Gavel Girl, Frankie, of chasing people to bed on the dot of ten-thirty, or pulling their warm covers off them every gray, freezing winter morning around 7 A. M. and barring the delights of breakfast to poor souls who have failed to finish their jobs when the mess call sounds. To Constance van Roden we leave julea Stad's male mania to further enchance her own, also julie's stargazing capacities so that Connie may be a more ardent astronomy student next year. To Bill Webb we leave Dick Geigerls quietness dur- ing classes in which looks like he always knows a lot, which he really doesfwell, we don't know! Randy Clark wishes to leave to his successor the habit of forgetting all Gavel Boy jobs, and so to come through an otherwise strenuous year with no worries or cares about anything. Billy Aydelott's post as class artist we turn over to Bill Webb, and with it all Billyls fast disappearing brushes, paints and rulers, to further his art, and also Billy's artistic temperament to hold it back. To Kimberley Doorly we leave all Nettie's boxes, papers, and numerous books for him to gain the knowledge worthy of a senior. We give him Barbara's studiousness everlasting classes and College Boards. And we give him a loudspeaker through which he will read to the world passages from his own work: Why I Am The World's Greatest Antagonistf' All revolutionary ideas and wild theories for this book will be donated by Ginny Daugherty. And lastly we give junior a complete set of new encyclopedias for him to correct and improve upon. To Bob Russell the Senior Class leaves enough money to supply Alice Thayer with candy for the whole of next year. Nettie leaves Bob Russell her physics- mindedness to console Len for the loss of all the brilliant seniors in next year's physics class. To Alice Thayer we leave all the alarm clocks in the school, and we give her free permission to set them back an hour or two whenever it's time for classes, meals, and bed, so she will have ample time fwe hopej to get 16 lotions on hands and face, 20 growing pills swallowed before each meal, and 15 thinning medicines drunk before each class. We donate to her 25 hair-dryers, one for each hour of the day and the ones to be used at 12 P. M. and 1 A. M. in the morning shall be stronger and larger than all the rest to save the war and tear of strenuous use. The Senior Class wishes to leave her the tennis court and some excellent part- ners who are almost half as good as she is. Baseball bats we have also fashioned for her, with extra steel casings to keep them in one piece when Thayer's at the bat. Next year's hockey balls we have ordered to be made of soft rubber so that all opponents of Fullback Thayer will not have to appear on the field in clank- ing armor. To Howard Jarvis, Ray Russell wishes to leave his one-man debating team in which all its own arguments and ideas were considered infallible by said debat- ing team. We wish this spirit to be carried on, and the illustrious Jarvis' opinion to never be doubted by any man or trifled with on any account, but to be taken humbly as the final irrevocable verdict. Ray also asked if the sleeping powders he used this year, and which worked so effectively in Study Hall and Ethics class, could be handed down to said Howard Jarvis if his own have given out by this time. And last but not least we have here a gift from Ashton T. Geipel, namely the ability to sit in chairs and Think all day. The Senior Prophecy BY G. H. JONES THE year 1948 will find our present Senior Class widely scattered here and there from New Orleans to New York, each member following a career of individual interest. Anyone going to New York then will find Barbara crisply teaching French in a private school during the day, and still reading lyric poetry and humorous novels at night. Midway down the Eastern coast, in Philadelphia, there may be found three hard-working Seniors. Ray and Ashton will be successful business meng Ray, a partner in a banking firm, and Ashton, sales manager in Wanamaker's. Julie, still living on Chestnut Street, will be guiding youthful fingers through intricate black ancl white piano pieces, and conducting an orchestra of her own in her spare moments. Way down yonder in New Orleans will be Frankie, her golden hair the crown of a society queen, ruling a textile designing shop with her sweet smile and firm will. The flower prints she creates will be famous the world over. And at Sunny Hills .... Ginny will teach seventh grade, following in her mother's footsteps with a vigorous manner and a far-reaching voice. From the art room will issue the voice of Billy Aydelott, art teacher-in-chief, who will always be seen surrounded by clay, paint, or crayons. Nettie will be reveling in food supply storerooms and linen closets, the contents of which she distributes to everybody in Sunny Hills, unlock- ing numerous padlocks with a huge bunch of keys. Not far away from Sunny Hills, Hannah will be in superintendence of a large farm during her leisure hours, for every day she will be teaching three hours of weaving at the Univerrity of Delaware. Thus is the Senior prophecy. History of Sunny Hills By B. F. BERANGER SUNNY HILLS, built as a living memorial to Sanford W. Sawin, Jr., by his mother, commenced with seven small children, the girls in pigtails, you may be sure. School was held in Sanford Hall, a typical red brick house, and living went on for the most part in Quigley Hall. That was in 1930. Gradually, as things do, Sunny Hills grew, and there was a necessity for an upper school and a place for the upper school to reside in. Stephen May Hall emerged out of what was once the barn, and the students quickly made it their own by incorporating loud shouts and general noise into its walls, which now echo with them and will for- ever, we fear. Once the shock of beginning the upper school had been gotten over, events which were to become traditions were started. There were football, hockey, baseball, and track teams which went bravely forth to give battle, seldom returning victorious in the early years. Then there was the Athletic Association, the Christmas Dance, where many presents and a little mistletoeacreated diversion, the Valentine Dance, Wllite- washing Day, when the ever-lengthening Sunny Hills fences were newly coated, as were the participants, namely the whole school. Gavel Day was instituted, and two juniors chosen to take charge of the boys and girls during the coming term. The next year, events proceeded much the same, but there were new buildings, Hebb Hall for the little children, its windows continually covered with seasonal pictures, and a new dining hall. New dogs and cats came and went, the teams become more successful, and the customs more deeply rooted. This year saw the first Class Day and Commencement. However, the year '37-'58 really witnessed more innovations than any other. There was Sawin Lodge built for the boys and, to a great extent, by the boysg the 'lMatthew- son Mansion, a cottage for Eleanor, Dean of Girls, who was a bride in February, the remodeling of Douglas Cottage for Phil, Dean of Boys, and Dottie. The new cur- riculum for classes was carried on from the year before, and made more extensive. The Seniors, to broaden their views on American history and government, Went to Washington. When they came back, a miniature facsimile of the New York Times kept them busy for weeks. Other classes built huts and made water gardens. The Sunny Hills Alumni Association was formed from last year's revered Seniors, and a Gavel Club, composed of all the Gavel Boys and Girls, will be started next year. Time and everything else seems to march on-so does Sunny Hills. i 3 3 I E 5 E 5 2 5 +0 64 64 4-O4 600 040 094-O V6-O-0-O +o+++ 6 5 0 6 Q 6 James T.
