We felt self-important to the point of being self-conscious. lt was glorious exhilaration. Then on a certain Tuesday morning later in September, 1933, our world suddenly tumbled. We found our- selves seventh graders. Upon learning that our teacher, Miss Sterquelle, was also unacquainted with the school, we felt relieved. Perhaps this fact has drawn us closer to her more than anything else. Miss Sterquelle exhibits a grand sense of loyalty towards her pupils, and this certainly made the term 1933-'34 easier for all of us. She has a win- ning smile and eyes that say cheerfulness. This helped, also. She knows the necessity of serious- ness and when to apply it, thus geography, history, grammar, and spelling took on new and more sig- nificant meanings. Of course, we were not perfect little students and Miss Sterquelle's tolerance and understanding are two more often spoken of but seldom applied assets which seem so natural with her. This dedication is a very meagre tribute com- pared to the many helpful and kind things our seventh grade teacher has done for us. QJOIQWOIT! We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty nine, sincerely hope that this year book will give you an idea of both the trials and the joys which we have all experienced through our years at Springside. We hope you will pardon some rather nonsensical pages but the Class of '39 has always been one of laughter and happiness. If this book were less gay or less sincere, it would not be the true class record of the Class of '39, The Editor. Page Four cglze Cgaaculty MRS.

She has tried to uphold all the standards so adequately expressed in the Springlido Blue Book. Addie's most prominent trait is her studious nature. She is conscientious, poised, and authoritative, someone definitely to respect.

MARTHA ALLEN is from Tennessee and it adds something to any class to have a south- ern accent. Martha is gentle in every sense of the word and yet she is not the kind of person that is taken advantage of. Martha, the Marines, and the Savoy Opera Group are inseparable. Page Eleven A fond enthusiasm, an amiable madness, a pleasing frenzy, illusion, infatuation, delirium, a delig tful insanity! NANCY is 1939's glamor girl and tirebrand. Nancy is willing and quite, quite able. She has an electric personality and knows the art of using it to her best advantage.-Bright girll Blended vivacity and sophistication are hers also.

MARIORIE is efiicient. This word seems to be the key to all she does and accomplishes. And Mar never fails in what she sets out to do fin school or outl. Her sell-control is amazing but deceptive, and only few of us know her love ol fun-and more fun. Page Thirteen A ligltt heart lives long. GOTY is a personification of something one hears about often but rarely sees. For one usually quiet and unassuming, she has stirred us all to a great deal of industry in getting the Year Book together, ot which she is the Editor-in-chief.

PATRICIA has a sixth sense of all that is happening within and without the class room, and through study has developed a well- rounded knowledge of more worldly subjects. Pat is not a full-fledged idealist, but she has vivid dreams about a glamorous future. Regardless of her imagination, however, she is well acquainted with boredom. Page Fifteen 1 A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought alone. MARTHA HOPKINSON is so utterly unpreten- tious one cannot help liking her. A wonderful sense of humor is hidden beneath her re- served appearance. She judges people for what they are tvery rare todayl. It seems natural to connect Martha with a Brahms Concerto--a sailboat-the Art Museum.

Lovely woman! Nature made thee to temper man. NINA is our belle, blonde and smiling. She has mastered the art of subtle sarcasm to perfection.

Page Nineteen A' Bc silent. or let thy words bc worth more than silence. ANGELA, our chief wearer of English tweeds, has a great gift of finding some good in any- thing, everything, and everyone.

We have advanced out of childhood under fine and firm leadership which has prepared us step by step to meet the awaiting world with its problems and perplexities. Springside has prepared us to meet these obstacles and to make stepping stones from the stumbling blocks as we go through life. We have also gained a sense of values which will help us to make ourselves and those about us happier and which will enable us to see the good in the world in which we live-a practice most generally discarded today. But along with the serious preparations of school life have been unfor- gettable moments of fun and frolic-moments trail- ing the traces of our childhood which we lose with such resignation. It is for the guidance and good times that we sincerely and gratefully wish to thank Miss Ellis, Mrs. Paul, and the faculty. These full years of apprenticeship are over. This is the past. Now we must lay aside the predominance of school and search for something new. We stand before you somewhat dazed and unnerved by the swirl of graduation week, but nevertheless excited, peering on tiptoes into the broader world to catch a glimpse of our future 'surprises and experiences. This is the present. The future now is up to us. We are well-equipped with the raw material of knowledge which we have stored up in school, and we realize our task to use this equipment by ourselves. We must begin to shape our own lives now and find our own fields of activity. This is not a day of triumph but a day of dedication. To the full benefit of life, we must lose ourselves creatively and become a part of something bigger, forgetting the self and realizing the importance of others. Some of us will lose our- selves in social workg some will become a part of marriage. This is the way to success and the best way in which we shall endeavor to repay Spring- side. Therefore, we now leave these walls with the aim not merely to be good but to be good for something. Throughout the past we have been strengthening the bonds of friendships that we cherish now and that will remain with us throughout life. To me, these friendships are the best gifts which school has offered. We could never be sufficiently grateful to Springside for them. As Robert Louis Stevenson said, So long as we love, we serve: so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are in- dispensible, and no man is useless while he has a friend. Strengthened by the happy thought that these friendships will remain continually with us, we now say a sad and affectionate farewell and turn with new vigor to what lies ahead. Gertrude W. Perkins. Page Thirty one Page Thirty-two 61083 08177, Before We close our school books, Before we leave the scenes, Think when we-'re all together Of what each classmate means. Each one has striven for something, Each one has won and lost. And each one's had her classmate To help her pay the cost. We'll soon not be together But scattered far and wide. We'll help instead of classmates The neighbor at our side. Margaret Riley 816188 CSJOHQ Springside, sing we in sadness Our last farewell. . Through the long years of gladness Naught could excel Your fine spirit so true, And your bright gold and blue. Now the day has arrived When we all must part. As we're gathered together Once more as one, May We thank Springside School for all it's done. Though tomorrow we part, Now from each of our hearts May we wish to dear Springside a fond farewell. Tune: Beautiful Lady Waltz Page Thirty-three GlClSS On a bright September morning in 1926 a group of rather bouncy small girls and boys each pur- chased tickets and picked out a beautiful, shiny, wooden horse for what they hoped would be an interesting and exciting ride on the Springside Merry-Go-Round. Eighteen of the horses had riders whose names were: Anita Alexander Keith Grosvenor Nancy Brown P. Shelby Thayer Betty Brewster Sonia Stokowski Barbara Bodine Christine Cromwell Barbara Eckhardt Sarah Greist Patricia Henkels Pat Kenworthy Martha Hopkinson Ann Hunsberger H. Edwards Buck Peter Costello james Gribbel William Gribbel Although this ride was just an appetizer, it proved to be highly successful on the whole. The boys, of course, considered it too calm and left the ladies for more masculine surroundings. Unfortunately the ride seemed a bit too much for Betty Brewster, Christine Cromwell, and Sonia Stokowski, who left us at this point. We were joined for the first full length ride by Betty Brown, Elaine Day, Marjorie Dorwarth, lose- phine Harmar, Virginia Lloyd, Beverly Mann, Iuliana Merryweather, Mary Pearson, Gertrude Perkins, Martha Tetlow, and Lydia Wallace. All were glad to join us except one little girl with a mammoth hair-bow who splashed salty tears hither and yon. With the second ride we lost Iosephine Harmar and Iuliana Merryweather, but we gained Ann Page Thirty four gfistory Bullivant, Ioan Hepburn, Gay McCown, Alice Louise McDowell, and Betty Brewster. The never-to-be- forgotten incident of the year was Mrs. Lennon's reprimand of one young rider's spelling. The offender had unwittingly spelled of - o-v. On the third ride we added lean Simonin. We felt cheated having added only one passenger, but we didn't know lean then, The face of Lydia Wal- lace was missing, and on inquiry we found to our sorrow that we had lost her permanently. With the fourth ride we discovered that a brand new merry-go-round awaited us, complete with ultra-violet ray windows-an innovation. To the general excitement was added Ann Adams, Iudy Fisher, Barbara Garrett, Meg Kershaw, Nancy Ritchie, Nancy Thornley, and Lydia Smith. The sun- shine was too much for Anita Alexander, Barbara Barton, Betty Brewster, Beverly Mann, and Shelby Thayer, and so they departed. This ride saw the performance of the Nativity Play which went off very smoothly, even if we do say so ourselves, with Nancy Ritchie as our Virgin. Marguerite Kruger greeted us on the fifth ride while Barbara Garrett and Ann Hunsberger bade us good-by. Miss Campbell tried to divert our at- tention, among other things, to Nature Study. I think we all acquired that tremendous word ego- tistical on the fifth ride. Somehow that, more than any other of the words Miss Campbell tried to teach us, stuck. The axth was an especially hilarious ride. Sarah Griest missed the fun, but Virginia Ayling, Iosephine Dinger, and Angela Marston arrived just in time. Glass g!i.S'tOl'y fcontinuecfj Certain of us became acquainted with the fire- tower, clubs, and Miss Elcock's office. There was much competition as to the flowers bestowed upon Mlle. Femain at the end of our French Play. One section was sophisticated enough to choose an orchid corsage, the other section spring flowers. To this day it is unknown which was the more happily received, though there was much controversy among us. Our May Queen was Nancy Thornley resplendant in yellow. And now we moved to our largest merry-go- round for our seventh grade ride. Barbara Bodine, Anne Bullivant, Elaine Day, and Iosephine Dinger were apprehensive and decided to leave us. Mary Carter, Babe Smith, and Nancy Claghorn liked the idea of bigger things and joined us. Nancy was a great fascination if only for one reason. She had a magnificent plaster-cast on her leg which we all autographed. A number of us were quite overcome with admiration for several of the older riders, and the end of the ride was only brightened by the Senior's glorious picnic and Song-Night when we chose a king and queen among them and crowned our two sovereigns with wreaths of daisies. On the eighth ride Miss Bellas supervised us and aroused our first interests in the theatre. Betty Brown, Mary Carter, Iudy Fisher, Keith Grosvenor, Virginia Lloyd, Martha Tetlow, and Nancy Thorn- ley missed all this. .With Algebra and the ninth ride came Diana Corse, Nina Knowles, and Genevieve Lee. The girls were much more welcome than the mathematics. It proved too much for Virginia Ayling, who left us in the middle of the year. The Penn Charter dance was something unlooked for but thoroughly en- joyed. I Martha Allen, Mary Savage, Margaret Riley, and Isabelle Taylor became riders on the tenth jaunt. Marguerite Kruger, Ann Hepburn, and Genevieve Lee left us. This ride passed rather uneventfully except for a good deal of arguing over the national elections and Edwards abdication. fNote our ris- ing interest in Current Events! Mlle. Pechin greeted us for our next to last ride. We saw the loss of Martha Allen, Nancy Brown, Barbara Eckhardt, Mary Pearson, Nancy Ritchie, Lydia Smith, and Isabelle Taylor. In this ride we held the record for Friday afternoon Study Halls. Our Banquet for the Seniors was one of the best in years, we were assured, and we were inclined to think so ourselves. The end of the ride saw us all gazing covetingly at the Senior Room and And then the time for our last ride arrived. Martha Allen returned, and lean Simonin and Diana Corse departed, anticipating the mad rush we were in for. But it has been lun despite the many hectic mo- mentsg for example, the Senior Play, the Iunior's Banquet, and the Seventh Grade Picnic. The Senior Room saw many fights, verbal and otherwise, but all friendly. We have all become exasperatingly familiar with Chopsticks, Hold Tight 'and Anchors Aweigh. This is our History as a class, soon, as individuals, we shall be making private ones. Most of them will probably be inconspicuous. It will be enough, how- ever, if we live our lives unconscious that we might be making a trail after us, just as we have done throughout our school years. Patricia Kenworthy. Martha Hopkinson. Patricia Henkels. 81688 We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, being of sound mind cmd body, do herewith make our last will and testament. We bestow upon Springside all our worldly possessions-namely, our worn-out school books, hoping that the notes con- tained therein may be of service to succeeding classes. To Mrs. Paul we leave our undying appreciation for her help and guidance which she has given us at Springside and which we shall remember long after our school days are over. To the Class of '40 we will the long desired Senior cut, the Senior Room, the privilege of using the front door, and our great athletic ability. To Miss Thornton we leave our very mature minds. To Miss Corwin we leave our great gift of gab. To the library we will some silver polish for the cups. Gertrude Perkins' athletic ability to Frances Wetherill. Nancy Claghorn's sophistication to Betty Miller. Page Thirty-six Will Anne Groton's self-control to Peggy Lamed. Nina Knowles' hair to Kitty Wolfe. Marjorie Dorwarth's report card to Bobby Glen- dinning. Alice Louise McDowell leaves her sense of humor to Iean Carter. Martha Hopkinson leaves her ivory tower to Fifi Harmar. Mary Savage and Alice Louise McDowell leave their laboratory technique to Miss Weston. Martha Allen leaves her voice to Salley Macy. Pat Kenworthy leaves her driving ability to Emilie Bonsall. Babe Smith leaves that Hawaiian Charm to Ann Atlee. Witness our hand and seal this eighth day of Iune, 1939. The Senior Class of '39. mock ANN ADAMS . . .

Mary Savage, Meg Riley, Gay McCown prophecy The idea was simply appalling-in fact, it sent me quickly into the deepest depths of despair. After I had bought' theatre tickets five weeks in advance and had automatically crossed off the days in my diary, one could not condemn me for being in such a state of mind. You see, I had a cold-the kind that requires bicarbonate, nose-drops, and Kleenex at short minute intervals, consequently, the idea of the theatre was out of the question. The play was Orson Welles' latest production of Hamlet with a modern interpretation. Orson was not, however, the chief attraction for me, but our own dear class- mate of '39, Mary Savage. Can't you just imagine Mary as the ill-fated Ophelia? Well, I had to, be- cause I could not disturb the pulsating silence of the theatre with continuous nose-blowing. Trying to console myself as best I could, I bravely an- nounced to the remainder of the family who weren't seeing Hamlet that I would be a fourth at their bridge table. You who have such a cold, they snickered. Why even your bidding is probably affected by it now. Thus repulsed, the prospect of bed loomed only too heavily in my immediate future. Then the thought of all the unread magazines and news- papers which were forever pouring into our house seemed to solve my problem of l'ennui .... One- half hour later bed welcomed me, and The Times, The Bulletin, Life, The Atlantic, Vogue, The Readers' Digest Good Housekeeping, and many others lay piled around me. In scanning through the next to last, the article on the book-of-the-month attracted my attention. Way back in school days we all noticed Gay McCown's love for children. The book review proved it in writing. Gay's latest childrens' books, McCown Moo-Cow Stories and Gay's Gallopping Goofy Goose have definitely be- come best best-sellers with her public between the ages of five and nine. Congratulations, Gay! And two swallows of Rem followed. Before the second was down, however, big black print on the front of the Times nearly made me choke. It read as follows: ANN ADAMS STIRRING CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE IN WASHINGTON. Upon my further brousing, the article revealed Ann's latest opinions on how our country could become a self-governing nation without the meddling assistance of a presi- dent, cabinet, or congress. Of course there would be a Supreme Court to see that the states enforced the merit system. It seems also that Ann is busy competing with some man, I can't pronounce his name, for the position of leader of the Philadelphia Orchestra. I-low like Ann, always having wide interests, I mused, resorting to our own home paper, The Bulletin. The society page always interests me, so I turned to it and behold!-a picture of the former Nancy S. Claghom. Nancy was accom- panied by her darling three-year-old son, a perfect proof that Nancy chose the correct future when she gave up her singing and swinging career. I've heard that he is already enrolled in Princeton. The clock whirred away the minutes, and it was nine-thirty before I knew it. Almost missed her tonight, I thought, and I turned on the radio be- Page Thirty nine Page Forty prophecy feontinuedj side my bed. Whose voice should come booming at me but that of Pat Henkelsl You see, she broad- casts three nights a week to inform her public on the merits of Stanivlasky, the foreign situation, or the Group Theatre. When her fifteen minutes ended, I had visions of her floating out like a cloud into the blaze of New York life. Then I turned back to my reading. Time was next in the pile of magazines on my bed, so I casually picked it up, determined to im- prove my mind by gazing through its pages. Foreign News was, of course, first. What great changes had come about in Europe! I turned the page and there right in front of me was a picture of Pat Hopkinson. My goodness, I thought, I went to school with her! Under the picture was the cap- tion, American woman delegate to Peace Confer- ence puts across her points with subtle clevemess. Rules over debate with foreign powers. Miss Hop- kinson is the first woman member of such a meeting to win recognition by her brilliant speeches, made impressive by the long silences between them. So that's what Pat is doing with herself these days. I read the rest of the article and felt that I had learned a lot. The wind moaned through the plate glass win- dows, and I pulled the covers up farther around my waist. The pages of Time flipped by, one after the other. The heading, Science and Medicine, held my attention quite naturally because there be- fore me were large black letters with the words, Young American scientist discovers new metal at Sorbonne in Paris. My eyes traveled down the page quickly. Why, of course, who else could it be but Meg Kershaw? the scientific genius of our class way back in '39 when we'd graduated from Spring- side. Under the overturned edge of my quilt I saw Life's red bordered cover with yesterday's date on the front. Starting from the back, as was my custom, I first came to Life Goes to a Party. This particular week showed pictures of a college prom, and, well, of course, there was little Nina Knowles standing with her husband. Who would have thought that she would have married a professor in some New England university? In the picture she was smiling sweetly at a line of open-mouthed college boys staring at her, behind the professor's back. She was holding her husband's hand, though, like an obedient little wife and looking up at him with those eyes. I must remember to keep in touch with her, I thought, and learn all about her newly- found intellectual life. At this point I stopped looking at Life to put some drops up my poor nose. My goodness, I wish I hadn't gotten this awful cold. I thought back over the years, and I could still see Pat Kenworthy kindly staying away from school on Monday mornings so that she wouldn't give us her colds, dear girl. What an energetic person she had been! C Life wasn't very good this week.l Hello, what's this? In the sec- tion entitled People in the News. What a coinci- dence! There's Pat Kenworthy staring me right in the face. And what is she in the news for? Well, now isn't that cute? She's training her children at the age of two and three, respectively, to ride horse- tmroplzecy fontinueflj back and play hockey. Child wonders, I should say. But then that's our Pat, always giving her pep and spirit to other people. They'll never miss a basket- ball game either, comments their proud mother. I read this with a smile as I recalled school days. What an odd looking hat, I thought, as I looked at the front cover of Vogue. I wonder if I'll find anyone I know in here? I certainly wouldn't put it past certain members of our illustrious class to turn up in Vogue I scrutinized the pages care- fully but nothing happened until what to my won- dering eyes should appear but an extremely suave and snappy looking lady dressed in the height of fashion who hailed from--oh, Baltimore. I hardly needed to look further to see that the visage before me was our own Alice Louise McDowell. She was gracing the pages of Vogue with other ladies under the title of These Disarming Women. Alice had married a chemist, a very wealthy resident of Baltimore. I had only recently had a letter from her telling me how he had almost left her when she got into his laboratory one day and upset and burnt various things, but everything was all fixed up now and her fondest hope, to live in Baltimore, had been realized. Goodness, you move your legs, and magazines fall off to left and right. Oh, there goes the Ameri- can. Well, if I really dig into some of those articles they publish, I can take my mind off this nose of mine. Let's see, here are the winners of the con- test for the best essay on The America I want. First place-Margaret Riley! The grand prize of 51,000.00 dollars, a trip to New York, and the privi- lege of appearing on Town Meeting of the Air in a short summary of her essay goes to Margaret Riley-candidate for the nomination in the Progres- sor party convention. Meg, the old agitator, is really getting her stuff across! Let me see what else is in this American , the section on Interesting People is always good. Now isn't that a coincidence-another of our class- mates making the news in one magazinel This is a large photograph of Gelly, Angela Marston, who is running a most remarkable dog-exercising institu- tion. Dog owners leave their pets at the estab- lishment for an hour or so, and call for them to find that they are healthy and well brushed. Angela used to trot out with the dogs herself for several hours in the Wissahickon, but now she has so many clients that she has to hire three helpers. What a thriving business! Perhaps I'll send Snoofles there. I really do not feel up to any of these deep articles. A look at the program of the Russian Ballet ought to be cheering. Oh, I can't wait till I go to see it next week-that is, if my cold's gone. What an exotic picture! this woman with the transparent veil and the flowing lines-Marjenska Warthya. Bless us, could that be our Mariorie Dorwarth? The face is somewhat the same, but those heavy-lidded eyes, the coal-black hair, and she is so thin! I'll just have to go back-stage next week and find out! That picture reminds me of one I saw just the other day of another old classmate of mine, she was dressed in luxurious furs .and was, with a bored expression on her face, conversing with several men of title at the Metropolitan in New York. There was Page Forty one QVOPVAQCQ fcontinuecy a little article about the life she leads-how she sleeps till 1 P. M., lunches at some fashionable restaurant, with a nobleman preferablyg attends a play or the opera, dines at another restaurant, goes to a show: and thence to a night-club. This routine would become monotonous, so she intersperses it with trips abroad and week-ends at various people's estates. She is the perfectly useless type of languid glamor girl who does nothing whatsoever for any- body else. Need we mention her name-Gertrude Perkins? Here's a Musical Americanf' Pictures and pic- tures of rising stars and old veterans--piano play- ers, violinists, 'cellists, and singers galore. Here is a team of singers, a man and a girl, both smiling winningly, his head just over her shoulder. For engagement together, written in the advertisement, Andros and Martha. In a newspaper clipping printed next to the picture, the couple's ability is extolled in high terms. Miss Allen's richness of tone and technical skill bring the audience to its feet. Putting the names together, I realized that this was our Navy girl, Martha Allen, singing with a South American, and not married to a Navy officer after all. Page Forty two With this cold I am dying to look at some pictures of flowers, and lawns, and thingsg a House and Garden would be just the thing. This first article looks interesting, it's a long spicy one on landscape gardening with large illustrations of neat, well- planned gardens and of sweeping countrysides, handled so as to look balanced. Lol the author of the valuable article is Anne Groton. whose own home is always full of flowers charmingly arranged. She has designed such notable gardens as the Van Sniff's, and the Pinchney's, and she has won several prizes lately at the New York flower show. But I was really getting rather sleepy, so I quickly thumbed my way through the rest of the magazine, which seemed to be nothing but advertisements. Here's a pretty colored picture of the circus.
