WANAMAKER ' S Did you ever stop to think why Wanamaker ' s is the biggest general store in the world ? There ' s no mystery about the matter. But ten years old and nearly 14 acres of floor space crowded by the business of the establishment, and yet no mystery about the wonderful growth. There ' s been magic, though ; the magic of wise buying and wiser selling ; the magic of telling the truth ; the magic of liberal dealing ; the magic of making you feel that to a certain extent the store was your store. You can find at Wanamaker ' s almost any mer- chandise that the sun shines on. You know It. Is anything common or uncommon wanted, be it Dress Goods or Silks, Clothing or Carpets, Shoes or Silver Ware, Books or Buttons, Gymnastic Outfits or Sport- ing Materials your first thought i s Go to Wana- maker ' s. You are not only sure that the desired article will be there, but that the price will be a fair one — a Wanamaker price. Take Books. Why does Wanamaker sell more books at retail than any other dealer in the country ? In ten years the leading Bookseller in the United States ! outstripping firms that have done a big busi- ness for generations. It ' s because at Wanamaker ' s books have been treated precisely as any other mer- chandise. No combination to keep prices up. Buy at bed-rock wholesale rates, and sell at a little ad- vance. Book News has helped, too. It strips the mask from any book that deserves it ; tell you the truth about books and gives the Wanamaker prices for them. 5 cents a copy, 50 cents a year- JOHN WANAMAKER, Philadelphia.

Yell:— ZTi, Ya, ' 87 Hi, Va, Yof ' ( ] |ND now you are Seniors, reverend and grave. You have Jp survived all the childish trials and tribulations which sur- rounded you when you were Freshmen. Forgotten now are the terrible trials in mathematics, over which you shed so many bitter tears. You have safely passed through that trying age, so seemingly necessary to the young, when, as full-fledged, uncon- ditioned Sophomores you freely sported canes and aped the man- ners of your seniors. Past and forgotten are your delightful experiences at ushering, and sacredly stored in the recesses of your gigantic memories are the recollections of your beloved class-tree, that little sprig of hope so kindly protected and adorned by the sympathetic 88 ' s, but which met with the melancholy fate of death long before it gave forth its first green leaf. Forgotten are your foot-ball and gavel which the same 88 ' s so officiously took under their charge, because you had not force enough to guard them from strolling plunderers and marauders. Then when you attained the dignity of Juniors, your souls over- flowed with lofty thoughts and aspirations. You attempted, with all the confidence of your jolly Juniorship, to publish a Halcyon. The Fates, after due consideration, decided to be propitious, and crowned your efforts with moderate success, but alas ! what mean those piles of unsold copies which are thrown discarded under the Phoenix room table? Then when you entertained the Freshmen, how anxious you felt as to whether the poor little things should enjoy themselves! But all these things are past and forgotten. Now you are Seniors, august and proud. The welfare and reputa- tion of the College now rest on your massive shoulders, at least so you think. Now but one thought engrosses your attention. Theses and Commencement day. Already you are picturing to yourselves the appearance your towering statures will make on the platfomi ! Your minds wander off continually to the lofty realms where jou imagine Pegasus has carried you, and there in that delusion we shall leave you. 18 Officers of the Class of ' 87, PRESIDENTS : THOMAS A.

' ' M T last we are basking in the golden sunshine of happy junior. @ ism. Tossed by tempestuous seas through two years, we drift in calm waters, where the days glide away unmarked by the strife which often so clouded our more youthful age. This is the balmy season in which we are gathering strength for the coming tide that will bear us with swelling sails to the happy haven. Graduating Day. In its varied sailings o ' er the shifting seas of college life, our bark has many times been threatened with destruction from opposing elements within itself. But all is now one harmonious whole, and naught but tranquil waters mark our course. The largest class that ever entered the college, it is our desire that when June of 1888 arrives, we may have the honor of being the largest graduating class. Some of us may have complained that we are not remarkable for displaying great talents, but it must be re- membered that shining gems are olt ' concealed by rough exteriors, even if in the names of Smith, Jones and Brown. We have young ladies who staunchly support Woman ' s Rights. Indeed, so well have they set forth their arguments in our debates, that chimes of praise have rung through the recitation room. Not only on the broad ocean of oratorical contests have our abilities shown themselves, but we have safely ridden many foaming billows on the seas of Languages, and the narrow but difficult straits of Mathematics have not been untried. So may oiir ship sail safely on, be the seas rough or smooth, and may her happy crew ever hold kindly memories and lasting friendships for that longer voyage on life ' s storm-tossed lea !

Indeed, modesty is our chief charm, though we blush to own it. We are never heard declaring that we are ' 89 ' s, except in a plaintive melody of our own composition which we sing sometimes in the lone starry hours, after the gas has gone out. Modest as we are, we cannot but con- fess that the college would be a dreary place if we were not about. Poets of all sorts abound in our festive midst, who, like Tennyson ' s Brook, go on forever, or at least till the silence bell rings. We have singers of the first water, who make people wish they had been born deaf. Just come to us when you want a man to organ- ize a pillow fight, for about half or at least one-third of the gentle men of the class might fill the position, and some would do credit to it. We have tried to do our best for the welfare of the Freshmen. We strove to impress their infantships with a sense of our dignity by means of a poster of warning. This did not seem to faze them a bit. We had a little affair of canes with them, one still Sun- day morning, but somehow they came out bestlj ' We then resorted to a milder policy, and gave them a reception. This time we won. Skilled are we in weird lore and ancient languages. True, the Greek on our badge is slightly mixed, but then we more than make up for that by the grace with which we glide out the front door when no rude hand is near to hinder. But we should only weary you with a further recital of our merits, so we will stop with- out mentioning that we own three soprano voices, two water-color- ists, a violoncelloist, a second-trombone, two Big Men in Athletics, and an iron-clad determination to make ' 89 a name to be feared by all people smaller than ourselves. 26 Officers of the Class of ' 89.

' t « ' EE these young persons. Are they not meek? Let us call them Freshmen. We could not put in the rest of the class for fear of making the cut too wide for the page, but this is a good sample of them all. They look meek because they know their place in college. This time last year they were Preps. They observe all the Hun- dred Rules, and do not get one black mark on their reports. The Young Friend ' s Manual is read by them on holiday afternoons, after they have learned all their lessons nicely. These dear young people look up confidingly to the big Juniors, for the big Juniors are their associate class and will protect them from all harm. One would suppose they always appear as mild as in the picture, but that is where one is off. They assume quite a different aspect when they see any naughty comrades out of their rooms after 9 p. m. At such times they frown real hard ! How sad to think that these young people will not always be thus lamblike and guileless ! In only a few months they will change into important Sophomores, and wear high collars and write letters to the Phoenix. These Freshmen know a thing or two, if they are spring chickens. You would not think it, would you? Well, they know that soon the Sophomores will have a tree-planting, and even now their little heads teem with real bold schemes. After the tree has been placed in the earth they mean to go out in the dark night, and pull it up, root and branch ! Just think of it ! Next morning won ' t there be laughing in Freshmanic sleeves?

HE first number of the Swartlimore Phoenix was sent forth on its mission in the month of December, 1881. This modest little sheet was of somewhat larger dimensions than the Phcenix at present ; and contained six pages of reading matter, which in later editions were increased to nine, until at present the concentrated energy of nine inspired minds fills sixteen pages. The Phcenix, as our paper has been most appropriately named, was the direct outgrowth of the fire which destroyed our College, September 26th, 1881. After this catastrophe, college work was resumed in two large boarding houses, which had been secured with no little difficulty in Media. Here a company of twelve students formed themselves into an association to publish a college paper. The first edition was from the press of the Media Record, as were also Volumes I. and II. The progress of the Phcenix is not without interest. From the timid salutatory in the first number which pleads for support, we find in the next a feeling of encouragement and self-congrat- ulation, which the Phcenix has continued to enjoy in a compara- tively uninterrupted course since that time. There is one particular in which early numbers of the Phcenix differ very essentially from those of more recent date. At least two of the editors on the first staff were wags, for the local and exchange departments were sometimes enlivened by jokes, the counterparts of which are rarely seen in these da) s of the chestnut bell. In every respect our college journal has kept pace with the times, and took the initiative in the forming of the Inter-Collegiate Association, which held its first convention last February. The Sjvarfhmore Phcenix has ever been, and continues to be, an incitement to every college improvement, a medium for the free expression of the views of the students, and the champion of the college abroad. 67 Central Inter-Collegiate Press Association.

My love, so pretty and gay, With me at tennis did play. And like the twilight ' s soft spell In my heart grew love ' s mighty swell, Ever quicker and stronger. And life, too, is like a game With hits and misses the same, And as each day glides by, To some one doth draw nigh Great joy or sorrow ; Thus thought I, and our aim Should be for the truest game ; At every ' play ' be ' ready, ' And with purpose true and steady Await each morrow. Thus in happiness we played, Till night ' s fast falling shade Hindered our task ; And then in the twilight were made Compacts sweet, and the words we said Who may ask ? 76 Chronicles of the Swarthmoreans. CHAPTER LXXXVIII. J. There arose discord among the Swarth- moreans. 6. The Sophites had a great gathering together for to plant a tree. ij. The Freshees cranvling after the meat and drink are held fast by the narrow entrance. so. The Sophites ■zuax wroth. 28. The High Priest puts a question to the Freshees. JS- ' ' High Priest is moved by pity to spare them. 1 . And it came to pass, in the reign of King Grover, of the tribe of Cleve- land, and in tlie second year of his reign, that there arose mucli strife and contention in the temple of tlie Swarth- moreans, which is to say Quakerites. 2. And there were many young men and women gathered together at this temple from round about the region of the waning Delaware. 3. And moreover there were many of the tribe of Smith, which is a mighty and a great race, and whose number is as the sands of the sea. 4. And behold the tribe of Sophites abode at this temple, which tribe was renowned throughout the length and breadth of the land. 5. And there were also Freshees at this temple, a peculiar tribe, which was provoked to anger by the great glory and honor of the Sophites. 6. And behold there luas a great gathering together of the Sophites, and they said one to another, 7. Let us kill the fatted calf and make merry, and let us set a tree in the earth, that all the people of the earth may know of our glory and honor. 8. Now when the Freshees heard this they were exceeding wroth, and they plotted together, saying Let us take away the wines and the savory meats which are made ready for the morrow. 9. And they hearkened one to an- other, for they were exceeding wroth. 10. And when the night w as ' come, each one did lengthen out his body as a worm, and did make himself exceed- ing flat, that by so doing he might pass through an small space, 11. The length of which space was an half of an cubit, and the height an eighth of an cubit. 12. And behold, the space was ex- ceeding small. 13. And it did bring much suffering to the Freshees, much suffering brought it them. 14. For when they were midway, they did remain fixed. 15. And lo, they could neither move one way or the other. 16. Now this space was the entrance to that place wherein was contained the wines and the savory meats, which things -toere prepared for the moiTOw ' s feast. 17. And the Freshees did continue and go on in their wickedness, and did remove all the wines and savory meats, and did place them under the Holy Tabernacle, which lies at a little dis- tance from the temple. iS. And they said one to another, Now the great tree of our enemy can- not be placed in the earth to make known our enemy ' s greatness. 77 ig. And behold, they were exceed- ing sore ' m l)ody. 20. And it came to pass that when the Sophites heard of this thing they were exceeding wroth. 21. And they would have swept the Freshees from the face of the earth, iu the High Priest of the temple spoke with them. • 22. And these are the words which the High Priest did .speak with his mouth : 23. Refrain from wrath, ;;n ' children, wherefore have ye forgotten the ex- ceeding youth of the Freshees. 24. And the Sophites were appeased, inasmuch as they remembered that the Freshees were exceeding young. 25. Then -oenf the High Priest into the temple, and did call together all the Fre.shees from their hiding (places. 26. And lo, the Freshees did come through very fear. 27. And when they were gathered together, the High Priest did speak unto them, and his voice was as the rolling of distant thunder. 28. Hearken ye, Freshees, what have ye done with the wines and savory meats which ye have nade away with ? 29. And behold the Freshees did hang their heads for very shame, and their knees shook under them, so much that they could not stand, and when they had consulted together they did answer thus, 30. O most mighty Priest, we do not know where in the land are the wines and the savory meats. 31. And behold, this was elsewise than fact. 32. And the High Priest cnmt that this was elsewise than fact. . And he answered and said unto them, and lightning flashed from his eyes. 34. Get you gone from the temple, and halters shall be tied about your necks, that you may be suspended in the air. 35. Then the fear of death fell upon them, and they cried out with a loud voice, saying. Have mercy upon us, O Priest, for we are very young, let us give over to the Sophites gold, yea, much fine gold will we give to the Sophites, but send us not home to our Papas and Mamas, for they will surely kill us. 36. Then the High Priest did greatly pity them, seeing their beardless faces, and that they feared exceeding. 37. And when they had counted out many golden sheckels, he bade them depart in peace. 38. And this thing is told yet among the Swarthmoreans, which is to say Quakerites. 39. Now this happened in the reigti of king Grover, in the second year of his reign, in the fifth month. 40. And it came to pass that at that time was planted the great tree of the Sophites, which shmos to all the world their glory and honor. 41. Which tree is and will continue to be the wonder and delight of all nations unto the end of tlie world. Here endeth the first lesson. 87 ' s Commencement.

THE TUTOR AND THE BISCUIT. A Gentle Tutor was entered in the lists with a Back-number Biscuit. After vain attempts to Master his Adversary, the Tutor would fain toss up the sponge. Ha, not so, friend ! quoth the venerable Bun, for ich bin klein und du bist gross. Quite true, replied the Gentle Tutor, but then thou hast the Advantage of me in years. ' ' O, ja, sie haben Recht, murmured the Biscuit, and sighed for more Tutors to Conquer. Moral : Age before Beauty. 82 Ting, ting, ting 1 exclaimed a Chestnut Bell, with Righteous indignation at hearing a Twice Told Tale. Why do you do so? inquired a blue Wall Map. Because I am a Protectionist. Oh, you are I said the Map, then why don ' t you protect us from Sophomore renditions of Shakespere ? Yohnnie Hayman and Monseigneur But-ditto held a walking match Once on a time, with Ellis for Referee. Yohnnie could not keep in Step, and M. But-ditto swung him- self too much. Whereupon the Referee awarded the Prize to himself. Yohnnie said : Ugh — h — h ! But-ditto said: Get to your Rooms, boys! and Ellis held his fat sides for Glee. Moral : All ' s well That ends well . A Boy and a Pony were wont to plume themselves on being More than a Match for Examinations. All went Well for a time, but one cold Day the Pony became Conspicuous, and was Pounced upon by the Person in Authority. Light of my Life, farewell! wailed the Boy, grieved at parting with his Trusty friend. Don ' t be a Clam, said the Pony, as he joined the Silent Majority, but use thy common sense. But the Boy had no chance to use his Common sense, for he suddenly Went Home to take a thirty days ' Breathing-spell. Moral : Make Hay while the Sun shines. ' Tis Brief— AS Love. A passing passion ; but an episode Of college ; A pleasant by-play on the dusty road To knowledge. We danced our German, took our midnight walk— And happy I, if at my i41e talk She lightly laughed. That four years ' journey reached a welcome end At last; My passion, too, you think, my ready friend, Had passed. Not this time ; for I asked her (just a bride) If this were so, and she no words replied — ' ■ She lightly laughed. GUS : MONIER. 84 TENNIS. =r r ' T is in the spring-time, when the gentle zephyrs play among the apple blossoms, that the ingenuous youth borrows his room-mate ' s new racquet and his cous- in ' s pink jersey, and asks Lulu out to have a game after school. Tennis is good exercise, and was formerly played by Henry VIII. and the rest of that set. Besides that, you always know a young lady better for having played tennis with her. You can become better acquainted in half an hour ' s knocking the ball over the net than in a whole winter of how de do? receptions and walking the halls between classes. The young lady also is just devoted to the fascinating sport. It gives her a chance to wear her new striped dress and that jaunty little cap which brother Jack brought her from Paris, don ' t y ' kno.w. It may be that she is not exactly what one would call an adept, and may allow you to guard the whole court while she smiles on you from one corner. Possibly it is you that are out of practice, been s ' long since I played, but then you can laugh at each other ' s mistakes, and all is as happy as the pie is short. What though the entire college was looking on while we knocked five out of every six balls into the net ? What though we landed on our back on the sweet green turf when we reached for that high volley; did we not feel a thousand times repaid, and did not our heart beat a violent tatoo at the tender glance which the coy Amanda Jane bestowed on us when we returned from chasing the ba:ll which she had artlessly batted half way rouftd the corner? From our bosom ' s deepest recesses wells up the cant fiat : Come off ! Don ' t care if we do, thank you ; but tennis is a great game all the same, and likely to be popular with the laddies and lassies as long as this gray old world shall continue paying dividends. 85 EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY PHOENIX, ' 2000 A.

A diary of a Freshman, containing a number of curious entries, was picked up the other day on the asphaltum by a member of the Halcyo7i staff. Some of the records are here divulged in the hope tliey may prove of interest to our readers. Tuesday, Sept. ij. Arrived at College ; was met by a delegation of big boys called Sophs, who conducted me to the Play Room, and kindly furnished me with rattles and toys. Wednesday, Sept. 14. Got up, washed, dressed, ate my breakfast, after which felt much revived, for the terrors of last night had considerably weak- ened me. Ate dinner, ate supper, went to the Play Room, but the Sophs took away our rattles, so went to bed with strong lock on my door. Thursday, Sept. i . Didn ' t rest well last night. I dreamed that I was chased by a Sophomore Bull. This morning found green Poster on my door, warning me among other things not to carry a cane. 97 Sunday 20. Went to meeting and we all carried our canes. After meeting, those bad big boys took away and broke up our canes. We went to our rooms and cried. Sunday 2 ' j. Went to meeting, but did not carry a cane. Thursday, Nov. 25. Got up, washed and dressed, as usual, ate no breakfast. Sent for the doctor, ate dinner, and went to bed. Tuesday, Nov. jo. Out to-day for the first time. The doctor said I was suffering from an epigastric disarrangement produced by the consumption of a superabundance of meleagris galloparo. ' ' ' ' I agreed with him.

What boots it that ofttimes, enwearied with The dull monotony Of walking in the dark, I nap? No sooner am I comfortably disposed. And sweet slumbers My tired eyelids steep, Than with a start I wake And feel round for my pistol, startled by The somnolent rantings of some stage- Struck Junior, Reciting heavy tragedy from Romeo and Juliet.
