WhEN COLLEGE DAYS ARE ended, with their round of work and play, of joy and sorrow, and the time of parting comes, each one of us will feel the poignant regret which must ever accompany such an abrupt and com- plete separation. It is to soften this break in associations which have become so immeasurably dear to us, THAT THIS Halcyon has been published. If it MAY, AS YEARS PASS, FROM TIME TO TIME BUT CHEER ONE SADDENED HEART, BUT CLEAR ONE DOWNCAST BROW, BUT BRIGHTEN ONE MEMORY SLOWLY FADING, THEN ITS ENCHANTED PAGES WILL HAVE FULFILLED THEIR END. m ■ ' - i)e taff B l i GIRARD B.

Yet when it is worn away — Ever drift to reminiscing On some dreamy sort of day? When the Autumn sun is sinking Through the reds and browns and greens.

Interested at all times in promoting the college ' s welfare, the Alumni Association finds its greatest outlet in the Commencement Week activities. Last year alone, seven events depending upon alumni participation were scheduled on the week ' s program. Saturday, Alumni Day, saw special reunions of ' 75, ' 80, ' 85, ' 90, ' 95, ' 00, ' 05, ' 10, ' 15, ' 20, and ' 23. Following the reunions, the grads paraded on the campus in great style; — it was perhaps the most elaborate parade which the college has ever witnessed. The Alumni Supper was held in the college dining room that evening with the graduating class as guests of honor. On the opposite side of the dining room a less hilarious but just as loyal group was celebrating its golden anniversary with a huge cake, decorated with candles. An annual business meeting of the Alumni Association is held the night before Alumni Day. So does this oldest of all Swarthmore clubs serve to bring back with renewed interest those who have passed their college days forever. OFFICERS FOR 1925-1926 President Joseph H.

The expressed idea of the Club is To keep the alumni in touch with college affairs and to co-operate with the authorities. The interests (jf the Club are largely social. At the monthly meetings, held the first Wednesday at the y delphia Hotel, either President Aydelotte or Dean Walters is present to bring the greet- ings and gossip of the College, and other guests provide amusement in the way of after-dinner stunts. At present a drive is being carried on to collect old photographs and souvenirs of early college days. The Club plans the annual Swarthmore Club dinner, to which alumni not connected with the organization are invited. OFFICERS FOR 1925-1926 President . ' . Richard C. Peters, ex- ' 01 Vice-President J.

Denworth, ' 11 The Swarthmore Alumnae Club of Philadelphia THE Swarthmore Alumnae Club of Philadelphia is an organization of Swarth- more women living near Philadelphia. At the meetings held three times a year, interest is stimulated in constructive plans for aiding and improving the college. The Club regularly contributes to the Bureau of Occupations, which aids college women to obtain advantageous positions. The New York and Phila- delphia alumnae have combined in raising money for an open scholarship for women. This current year finds the scholarship in use for the first time. The Club is actively engaged in aiding the endowment for the Women ' s Student Building.

The Club functions largely as a social organization, but the members give loyal support to all college activities taking place in New York City. A reunion is held in the winter and a smoker in the spring. During Christmas vacation the alumni managed to vanquish a team of undergraduate students on the basketball court. The remainder of the evening was given over to dancing. OFFICERS FOR 1925-1926 President ' . . William H Seaman, ' 88 Secretary-Treasurer J. Stanley Wetherald, ' 1?

Ayars, ' 24 The Swarthmore Women ' s Club of New York TEN years ago the Women ' s Club of New York was organized with the purpose of keeping the Swarthmore alumnae in touch with the college, and of promot- ing Swarthmore ' s interests whenever possible. The Club holds a luncheon and two tea meetings a year, when a guest from Swarthmore is invited to be present. Money for the Alumnae Scholarship has been raised, and the Club has joined with the Philadelphia Alumnae Club in the membership drive of the Association of American University Women. The officers were elected in 1924 to serve for two years, and three new members are elected annually to the executive committee.

An annual dinner in January gathers together a large number of Swarthmore graduates living in the vicinity of Chicago. The Club ' s main reason for existence is that it supports a scholarship, which every year since 1906 has sent a student to Swarthmore. The members, too, sometimes interview applicants for the Open Scholarships. Recent- ly, the Club has become associated with the Eastern College Association, which aims to promote both better relations among the alumni groups represented in Chicago and the common welfare of the eastern alma maters.

During the past year, a summer picnic and a special meeting in the fall to greet President Aydelotte were held. Forty-three members and visiting Swarthmoreans attended the annual banquet held in Pasadena on January 31. The membership of the Club is increasing annually, and Swarthmore associations are being well preserved by Southern Californians across the continent.

From the days of umbrellas, green ribbons and red dinks to these days of diplomas and robes, the eclipse has been complete. 1926 has overshadowed every thing else. Tales are told of football lines battered by Korn ' s famous end attacks and by plunges of the mighty Wilcox; of Art Evans ' 104-yard run and his skill at shooting baskets; of Eddie Bartlett ' s educated pitching arm and soccer boot and of his fame as an actor; of Fletch and Hans who wield mean ff rackets; of Dill , the merman leader; of the Indians Bill Howard and Johnny Swope, the latter, incidentally, editing the 1926 Halcyon; and there ' s Don with his megaphone and sax; Max and Orrick; Bobby Graham, and Harold with his Phoenix struggles. And as for the other side of the question — who has not heard of Ginny , pretty, athletic and pleasant to think on; of Tid , ditto; of Betty Sharpies, dignified ruler of W. S. G. A. ; of Dot Merrill, a co-ed afflicted with pep and a contagious smile; of Polly Smith who looks like a mannequin and talks like a Phi Bete; of Katunk , noted for pep and the command of the Glee Club; of Betty Miller, the dancing doll, and Marj Mode, the Quaker leader; of Floss Hoskinson — middle name capability — sharing honors with Bert White, Al Dickey and Floss Meade; and of fair Frances of queenly renown. Though we leave thee and though sorrow still our laughter gay, we will tender memories borrow from the past so gay. Yes, 1926, your smiles and achieve- ments will long be remembered here in the Staunch and Gray ! 38 m Ij ' A-dM .

Burdsall VlCb-PRKSlDENT PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREASl RER 61 h History of the Class of 192.7 SEPTEMBER 1923 found Swarthmore surveying with mingled emotions another Freshman class, a motley throng of red-capped, name-tagged boys and be- gloved girls. They reaUy seemed little different from any other class that had entered these Halls of Learning in previous years; who could have foreseen the heights to which ' 27 was to rise? First to gain prominence were three who still hold college records. Tom Best has the title of Swarthmore ' s Biggest Man , — invaluable to the football team, where one glimpse of him strikes terror into the hearts of our opponents. Smitty , the smallest ' 27 in captivity, decided to goon the road , as it were, or, more strictly speaking, to take a year off and see the world. Alice Jenkinson claims, undisputed, the position of Tallest Girl , as which she faithfully fulfilled her role of the mast in that immortal drama The Heck of the Resperus . Besides her theatrical talent she stars as jumping center in Basket Ball. While we ' re mentioning Alice, we musn ' t neglect another class athlete — Sal who guards the goal and captains the 1926 Hockey Team. Athletic Annals will sing the fame of others of this class. Pete , following the old Lansdowne High tradition, started winning laurels from the first and now is captain of Football for 1926. Dick McFeely sacrificed a tooth or two on the gridiron and Moose was always ready in an emergency. Again, in Basket- ball, Pete and Bob Ward make a pair of flashing forwards. Nobody can deny that Burt is the fastest man in the class; the man who ' d walk a mile for a camel would stop boasting if he could see our track captain run a couple ot miles for one of his daily dozen . There ' s a certain unmistakable quality about people from the National Capitol, and Walt and Bob have proved themselves essentials of every college dance that aspires to the truly Washingtonian atmosphere. Jack Rust and George Van Hart are also requisites of that function where their mere appearance causes heart palpitations among the Freshman girls. Jack DeGroot gained great prominence socially during the Fall ot 1924 when he gave innumerable informal parties in honor of the Freshman boys. Kwink might be classed also among the social leaders — at least as entertainers. They sometimes make a slight slip when they sing but qualify perfectly when some big-hearted co-eds donate a little food. This failing, they are forced to adjourn for refreshments to the Cracker Room where Cope and Snorkie do a little business. Cracker Room makes us think of its official representative east of the fire-plug , — Wootsie , the Parrish Peddler of ice-cream and celebrated as one of the Fifth Wits along with Did and Loey. Won ' t it seem funny twenty-five years from now to see all the old room- mates come romping back to reunion? Ruth and Bert , Lea and Betty , Kitty and Es , and all the rest — just like old times — and Cecile will be Head of the French Department then, bestowing caresses on the class of ' 51. Just about that time, they ' ll be issuing another HALCYON but they won ' t have Jerry or Fran or Rosie or any to compare with the ' 27 stafi ! 62 JOHN UNDERWOOD AYRES 324 S. 45th Street,.

Criminal record as follows: escaped from his crib and bullied the Dean into admittance into Swarthmore; delved in and wrote a book on Quahquantitative Chemistry. Liable to arrest on charges of: shaving with a straight razor, never appearing at class less than five minutes before final bell, chewing tobacco m excess, shocking himself and others, keeping company with his last year ' s roommate. If caught and captured awake at any time a large reward will be given. LEROY GILBERT BAUM Ae Mountain Avenue, Summit, N. J. GENERAL ENGINEERING Roy ' s main activity around college is breaking his ankle. For in three years he has succeeded in put- ting himself on crutches in three different ways — base-sliding, pole- vaulting and performing at touch-foot- ball. To round out his career it should be basketball this year. But Roy is so clever on the floor, that no one can touch him on that vital ankle. Roy spends too much time in the library for an engineer. Perhaps it is to show off his curly locks; but we are afraid he ' ll trip over a table with that ankle, while looking — not vyhere he ' s going. Sleuth £ Roy 63 THOMAS GREENWOOD BEST K : Medicine Lodge, Kan. ECONOMICS Just as Oxford has its cylindrical monstros- ities in the Oxford bags, so Swarthmore has its cylindrical monstrosity in Tom Best. We feel that even bloody Kansas cannot produce many men of the calibre of Tom. Tom, however, is not as big a man on the campus now as former- ly, due to the fact that he lost some of his honors walking around Europe this past summer. Best is the man who makes the line of our football team look like a stone wall with a few pebbles strewn on either side. And, speaking of sports, Tom is an influential member of the most exclusive College Bridge Club. When he can find enough vvater, he is a diver of note. And in the spring, he dons his wampum and plays lacrosse. Tom was first tried at defense and he covered a lot of ground, but the coach thought he covered it too long, so now he plays goal-tender. GEORGE MARTIN BOOTH A T 975 Cedar Brook Road, Plalnfield, N. J. CHEMISTRY George, better known as the desperado of Buck Hill Falls, comes from Plainfield and Is apparently proud of the fact. How some people are deceived! However, Doc Alleman and Eggie are now making a big success of the Chemistry Depart- ment. Doc teaches the Frosh and George learns the rest. It all began when he in- stalled a radio for Doc who is now as ardent a fan as exists. If George ever stops up in your room and offers you some stationery you might as well buy it, for Eggie is a determined soul and never gives up an opportunity to haul in a little more dough.

For the benefit of those not studying under Cecile we offer the following translation: Among the celebrities of Swarthmore College is Mademoiselle Cecile Brochereux. This fellow-student is celebrated for being a cool, steady player on the hockey field and for being the annual hit in the 1927 show. Mademoiselle Brochereux is celebrated for bemg able to speak French like a Frenchman and English like a Swarthmorean. Cecile is also celebrated for her sense of humor, but above all she is celebrated for being a friend. MAY GERTRUDE BROWN 320 Cornell Avenue, Swarthmore, Pa. ENGLISH HONORS A Super-Car for College Students Launched to brilliant success within three short years by BROWN It is our privilege to announce one of the greatest achievements in motor-car production, namely: The brilliantly successful launching within three short years of a super-car for students. Twelve months ago, BROWN was known as a preeminent car for a few students. Today BROWN is recognized as a preeminent car for all (Honors students, athletes and Phoenix scribes included). From the moment of its arrival three years ago, BROWN grasped the friendship of all students and became the most largely demanded car on the campus. It is a story of success that grips the imagina- tion like an old-time romance, and success with a background of three years of industry, good sportsmanship and superior value giving.

POLITICAL SCIENCE Ellwood Burdsall: banjo player, redheaded Romeo, sometimes student and basso; yet, in spite of all, the inspiration of the cockney when he said A ' ELL of a good fellow. He ' s al- ways ready with a helping hand, whether it be for a Y. M. G. A. program or a free-for-all fight. The manly, open face and honest blue eyes of our associate editor have enabled him to keep out of jail more than once. Ask any- one! Ell ' s nightly recitals, when he accompanies his songs with the banjo, are remarkably appreciated by the students of Wharton. It is unfortunate that some of the remarks may not be here appended. The sonorous tones of the last of the Burdsalls will long be re- membered in the quaint strains of Oh, they ' re always in the way! JAMES WRIGHT CHAPMAN Ae Pleasantville, N. Y. ENGINEERING When our doughty Dean speaks of an intellectual curiosity he refers to fellows like Jim. He is supposed to be an engineer, but he delves into such varied subjects as spiritualism, nature-study, radio, and the power of mind over matter — as exemplified bvthe fact that he has always wanted curly hair and has always had it. Jim sojourns at the Sticks , which he spells Styx because of its inmates and the proximity of the fiery portal known as the Book and Key house. As a Phoenix scribe, Jim does his best to let one-half of the college know how the other half lives. And Jim ' s grin is one that won ' t wear off because it isn ' t put on , while his friends are as numerous as his freckles. Ell Jim 67 ' f ' i ALBERT CAIRNS CLIFF K S 2021 E. Cambria Street, Philadelphia, Pa. POLITICAL SCIENCE Yes sir! This is Albert, our jockey-sized pole-vaulter, the boy who vaults over all records in Economics and on the athletic field. You ' d never know to look at him that he w-as that kind of a boy , but when you get to know him you begin to understand. He is a man of moods. Often he is extremely pensive and quiet; that is, when a prof is looking at him. Then, when all danger of being caught is re- moved, things begin. The time when Al is at his best, however, is when his friends gather around to see him open a new pack of cigarettes, as those who smoke will attest. Al has attained a height at Swarthmore that none of us have been able to reach. Sometimes we wonder if his beaming smile at us mortals down below him is more than just a contem- plation of another ride through the skies. ROBERT BAIRD CLOTHIER ■! K 777 Grand . ' veniie, Rochester, N. Y. ENGINEERING Who is that engineer in Philosophy class? No! Is that really Bob Clothier? Bob can ' t find enough professors in the Engineering buildings to keep him busy, so he has branched out into something else to give his mind a little more work. Even with managing the business end of the Phoenix and the Portfolio, and playing soccer and lacrosse, Bob ' s always ready for more work, or fussing, or a heart to heart talk with a friend. Bob is a deep thinker and enjoys meditation. Start a discussion with him on philosophy or religion and he will convince you that his opinion on that is right too, even if it takes all night. If it were not for his sleep-loving room- mate Bob never would go to bed. Al Bob 68 CATHERINE BONNER COCKS Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y. ENGLISH This is the sign we find on Catherine ' s door: Wanted: 1.

BIOLOGY Freshman Year It took all of Ruth ' s time trying to live down Dick Cornell ' s fame and trying to convince people that she was 7iot his brother. Sophomore Year It took all of Ruth ' s time acquiring a little fame for herself on the side by trying out for everything there was to try out for and un- consciously making a host of friends. Junior Year It took all of Ruth ' s time living up to her fame by working on Y. W. and keeping track of the money for Somerville, deciding questions on A. A. and playing on the varsity hockey squad, and generally helping around the gym and elsewhere. Senior Year It took all of Ruth ' s time — Thank Goodness! We don ' t have to write that. We refer you to any Swarthmorean, June, 1927. The whistle blows at the end of the first two hours for a ten- minute intermission. Ruth 69 JOHN KEED DEGROOT K 2 Speedwell Avenue, Morristown, N. J. ECONOMICS Jack, because of his wanderings with one of Philadelphia ' s most prominent clubmen, has won for himself a place among the social lights of the college. He is, however, generous enough to give us his time when he is not in West Chester, Bar Harbor, or Palm Beach. Jack ' s looks kept many a Freshman on the path of obedience when he was Sophomore president, and to live up to his looks he has taken a place on the football and lacrosse teams. But that is all because of his face. He is really a lamb with a lion ' s face, as his follow- ers will tell you. If you ever hear Jack start out Say partner , listen and you ' ll hear some real humor, and learn a few things you ' d never expect to come from the lamb-lion. EDMUND VSmA FAIRBANKS 313 Park Avenue, Swartlimoie, Pa. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING A light in Beardsley glimmered dimly in the darkness as the college clock struck twelve times, and a soft soothing voice was heard within. It was answered by another voice — that of a girl. The Student Government man who passed the building at that time, rather alarmed, entered and approached the locked door from whence the conversation came. He knocked but no one answered, and the voices continued seemingly unaware of the peril that awaited their discovery. The voice was recognized as that of Ed Fairbanks. All sorts of thoughts entered the head of the Student Government rnan, and he feared that Ed had let the fussing bell ring unheeded. He called and knocked again. Finally, frantic for a revelation of this latest college scandal, he battered down the door. He found Ed apparently unruffled by his rude entrance. A faint scream pierced the ensuing silence. Then the voice, plaintive and broken with emotion, the voice of a beautiful Spanish senorita, slowly faded away over the radio. Jack Ed 70 MARJORIE FISH A r 215 Rosemont Avenue, Webster Groves, Mo. PHILOSOPHY New species of fish found at Swarthmore College! Classified at present as the Marjone fish. Genus — Missouri Family — Fish Class— Junior (1927) The following are some of the distmctive features of this Fish and also some of the reasons why this discovery is considered so great. (a) She is full of life in or out of the water. (b) She has acclimated herself to Swarth- more atmosphere remarkably m spite of trans- portation from Missouri. (f) She has unusual jumping ability. (Ex- amples are given by basketball team.) (d) She sends waves of cheerfulness wherever she goes. (A striking example of this is her work in I. C. S. A.) (e) She scales our hearts and stays there. Swarthmoreans regret deeply the fact that she cannot be kept in this part of the country longer. Marge HELEN FRANCES FLETCHER X n 344 E. Penn Street, Bedford, Pa.

Here ' s a piece of chocolate character layer cake: First layer — Much bridge ability and a faculty for winning bridge prizes in large numbers.

ENGLISH The Caliph was bored. He was bored because he was tired of tales read by his scribes. So they read him a story by Marian Foberg, and he stopped being disa- greeable and listened quietly the night through. But the next day the Caliph was again bored. He was bored with the sage remarks of his wise men. So they got him into an argument with Marian on philosophy and religion, and he opened his eyes, stopped throwing stools, and smoked his pipe con- tentedly. Yet on the third day was he still bored. This time it was the Egyptian dancers that tired him with their endless circles. Finally Marian was persuaded to do the Charleston for him (with a bit of acting on the side) and he gave the people a holiday and was cured of boredom for the rest of his days. HENRY CRAWFORD FORD esn Port Allegany, Pa. POLITICAL SCIENCE Henry Ford, famous bearer of a more famous name, claims Port Allegany as his native town. Partly for this reason and partly on account of his style of navigation, he is known to the followers of terpsichore as the Steamboat. When he is not upholding this latter noble name, you may find him under his doodinky straw hat driving his racing car of the rarer type. But when spring stirs the blood of our rugged Swarthmore youths, Hank must be roaming over the front campus with his lacrosse stick. His ability in handling the weapon was soon recognized, and for three years Henry has been doing flashy work. Some of the fair co-eds have wondered if Hank used to use a lacrosse stick instead of a rattle. The sum of Henry ' s numerous talents is crowned by his skill on his tenor banjo and his absolute dominion at pool. Maria) Hank 72 ALBERT NICHOLSON GARRETT A e 228 Garrett Avenue, Swarthmore, Pa. FRENCH Nick IS a home-grown specimen, originating m the minature metropolis of Swarthmore. He is a day student, but he is more conspicuous about college than if he were the oldest in- habitant. Boys will be boys is A. Nicholson ' s slogan, and he lets it cover a mul titude of sins. Mis- chief is what he ain ' t full of nothin ' else but . This tendency, together with his well-known Henry , make Nick a hard man to stop. Apparently, Nick isn ' t much interested in the co-eds. But there ' s a mighty good reason, and she doesn ' t live far away. GEORGE KELSEY GILLETTE, Jr. South Hanson, Mass. ECONOMICS Gillette never feels at home around the women, perhaps because he has no use for them, or because he is designed for men. He is never seen with the smooth-faced youngsters but has many friends among the rugged men of the college. Razor earned the name of Iron Man last spring when he showed himself to be the hardest pitching candidate for the twirling position on the college nine. He ' s a brute for punishment as you will soon find if vou trv to follow him as he grinds up and down th e length of the pool with that powerful overarm of his. In his moments of relaxation George turns to the artistic, as the sketches on his walls will show you. If he weren ' t bothered with his lessons George would probably be a famous illustrator for zoo catalogues or animal cracker ads.

It remained for Scott to put Into operation a practical scheme for getting better food. He, and a few others on the inside, organized a society for going around and getting tea and cakes under various excuses. In spite of this suspicion, the English Speaking Union with Scott ' s help IS progressing rapidly, and Scott found himself right at home in England as our representative. Scott ' s senior partner is now running the state of Delaware, so Scott finds little trouble in his Political Government classes and spends most of his time playing bridge or telling stories. He is usually in such a hurry to get these stories off his tongue that he gets all tangled up and has his listeners laughing before he gets to the funny part, so he keeps on trying till we all pass out. Patsy , Scott 74 RUSSELL ROBERT HARRIS KS 663 Mt. Prospect Avenue, Newark, N. J. ECONOMICS Russ travels the rails during the summer months as a Pullman conductor and could write a book of Bed-Time Stories which would be well up on the list of best sellers. However, he comes back to school every year to rest up and take on twenty pounds of lost sleep. With his school-girl complexion (not on the coat lapel), and radiant good nature, we well understand why a co-ed once said: Oh yes! Russ is good-looking — but he uses cough medicine. His interests are various and inclusive, but he likes nothing better than an afternoon in the woods. With his axe, Russ is blazing a path along the Crum, and we under- stand he is working for the college! If Cupid in the future claims another, we will say Russ did it with his little hatchet.

Back she jumps to the village again. A true daughter of Swarthmore is Carolyn; living in the village, and coming to the Little College on the Hill from the Little School on the Hill. One-Act Play class acquned a wonderful addition this year m Carolyn and she has carried her talent along this Ime to productions in the village. One day we asked Carolyn why she always hurried home after her classes were over, and she answered that there might be some mail in the village waiting. Now just what did she mean ? JESSIE REBECCA HOFFMAN Chadd ' s Ford, Pa. HISTORY Jessie was one of the sixteen freshmen who started her college career at Cedar Lane Cottage. From then on she had a reputation to live down or live up to. But we must say she ' s succeeded which ever way you consider it. Jessie is one of the big exceptions to people who live near home, for she is seen around college almost all of the time and almost everywhere, expecially at all Y. W. kinctions. We think this all the more remarkable be- cause at Eaglesmere, where Jessie was one of the We Are Seven and nobly represented Swarthmore in the chorus, we learned that she had an extraordinary aunt who wrote long, fat letters to her every day. Not having known aunts of this variety be- fore, we were a bit skeptical — purely scien- tifically so you understand, but — as we were saying, Jessie ' s around a great deal and if you don ' t know her awfully well, we advise you to do so immediately. The more people we get on this aunt problem, the better! lii ■; f Carolyn 4! Jessie y ELIZABETH DORIS HORMANN 628 Edwards Avenue, Pottsville, Pa. CLASSICS HONORS Ah! Intelligentia womana!

Mary is always merry, whether pounding with true journalistic fashion on the old type- writer keys between one and two a.m. doing some last minute Phoenix tid-bit; or dashing into the College Settlement on the 12:02 to spend a long afternoon telling stories to a dirty bunch of eager little Italians; or helping you while away a rainy Saturday at bridge; or fulfilling her duty as hall-president by sh-ing the hall when she herself has been largely the cause of the shrieks of laughter; or looking serious and dignified as she reads her latest paper in seminar on The Classi- fication of the Fundamental Philosophical Problems ; or haunting the library the night before a paper is due; or just dropping in on you some quiet evening tor a cozy chat.

Es Betty 78 EDITH DIXON HULL 2603 Lyndliurst Avenue, Baltimore, Md. ENGLISH HONORS Edith ' s Hull life at college reads like a book, for she is superior to the Plastic Age of many. Seventeen hours of credit are easy for her, so she makes Soundings of the Honors system and dismisses Problems of Conduct with Justice and Expediency. She Stoops to Conquer the Task of Writing, and The Way of the World is for magazines to accept her stones, she treats it as if it were Much Ado About Nothing and shows Sense and Sensibility by Perseverance. The Return of the Native ability which we welcome in Edith makes us wish heartily for her Success whether here or in A Far Country. The Facts and Backgrounds of her college career, her work on the Portfolio for instance, show that she has Bread in her tendencies confirmed by Biology and Its Makers. In time of a Crisis, we feel confident that she will continue W uthering Heights toward fame. FRIEND DAVIS HUNTER e :: n 737 Washington Street, Cape May, N. J. ENGLISH HONORS Some sage, far wiser than we, once declared that there was nought in a name. ' tt we bear proof to the contrary. No better way could be found to describe FRIEND than by quoting his name. For no one can deny that Half Pint is a loyal friend. With his violin under his arm, and the weight of the world on his shoulders, he has won his way into all hearts. And just as truly is he a hunter. Since his freshman days he has been searching for Phoenix scoops, and this year he has spent much of his time looking for junior write-ups iov tht Halcyon. Hence the lines: There was a young Hunter named Friend, Who worked from day ' s dawn till its end; But he does it no more. For what he hunted for Was found when this write-up was penned.

ENGLISH HONORS Maggie ' s an exception to the general concep- tion that a girl must necessarily be a grmd when her father ' s a professor, ' cause we really must confess her goggles only serve her as a blind .

Adelaide Maggie 80 EDWARD COPE JENKINS A e Kitchens Lane, Mount Airy, Pa. POLITICAL SCIENCE Ted ' s home street has no connection what- ever with his culinary abihties. But he ' s probably a good cook just as he is good at everything else. Ted is the most movingest man on the campus. To enable him to get around, he purchased the famous Yellow Peril , a well-seasoned institution of Swarth- more ' s campus. The name of the car is peculi- arly appropriate, save that it has now been repainted in green. By statistical study, it has been ascertained that Ted always takes his cuts when Goucher College is having a vacation. When pressed, he admitted that it was not by coincidence, and he told us confidentially that she can make some mighty fine biscuits. We assured him we ' d keep it dark, so don ' t tell anyone. Righto, Ted! We all like June . ALICE MOWRY JENKINSON 1 M 504 Heck Street, Asbuty Park, N. J. MATHEMATICS If you can keep your head ' bove those about you.

ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON, Jr. 211 S. Chester Road, Swarthmore, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Sid IS one of Swarthmore High ' s unsung heroes. He was rather a respectable freshman, but the reaction was so great that he returned to college his sophomore year with all the haberdashery of a social butterfly. A few moments a day Sid spends in study and other extra-curricular activities, but the majority of his time goes to the pursuit of happiness, summed up by another great man as love, letters, and fussing dates . Sid is the boy who didn ' t want to take up Honors work lest it spoil his average. However, he overcame his aversion and spent last summer drinking tea in England, in preparation for the Honors course. Sid ' s familiarity with the fair sex has prob- ably influenced his ability at debate and soccer, but whatever the cause, he is quite proficient at both. ROBERT EMERSON LAMB JOHNSON A T 101 W. Mermaid Lane, Chestnut Hill, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Can you feature Bob Johnson as the editor of our humor section. ' ' Well, he is, and that just goes to show you that Bob is an all-round man. Bob ' s failing is his appetite. It has been noticed by careful observation in class rooms, that he has a slow but steady and hardly per- ceptible up and down motion of the jaw. This may be because he is chewing, but more probably it is an indication of his inward an- ticipation of the coming meal. Fortunately for the college. Bob can ' t eat all day long though as he is too busy with tennis, track, basketball. Halcyon and so forth. Last fall he made a name for himself in tennis when he proved himself equal to Swarthmore ' s best. ili f T T f; Sid Boh 82 NOLAN LEVI KALTREIDER 9 S n 102 W. Broadway, Red Lion, Pa. BIOLOGY The hang-out of the long drink of water IS Science Hall, where he presides over his lab section with such knowledge and dignity that even the most unobservant are properly impressed. Possibly it was this dignity that led the Dean to tell Kalt he resembled Abe Lincoln — a statement which almost broke Kalt ' s heart. The grand old man of science directs most of his time and writing-paper to Albright College. He didn ' t even reform after the time he called on her and was asked at dinner to say Grace .

Dot Do 84 ROBERT WHITE LAFORE T Box 977, Narbenh, Pa. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Descended from a family famous for elec- tricians, Bob is true to his lineage since he is the electrical whiz of our class. Radio and the mazes of the engineering field hold no horrors for him as he can take apart anything and, what is more, can put it back together again. This even includes alarm clocks and tenth- hand Fords. However, his electrical talent is superseded only by his social ability. This probably accounts for his private telephone line, although we must not forget that his roommate may have had a hand in this. Now Bob ' s name would seem to indicate that he belonged to a family of quail but someone once remarked that though he was a bird, he was like a fish since he seemed to be weaker in the gill more and more as time went on . Bob overheard this and confirmed current rumors by stating: I think you ' re safe in saying that . Never mind, Bob! We all think Baltimore is a fine town. EDWARD FREDERIC LANG S K 308 Harvard Avenue, Swarthmore, Pa. ENGINEERING To belong to that group which is becoming more and more distinctive in Swarthmore is a great credit to Eddie. Many register but few remain in the engineering department. In Eddie we ' ve got what we all call the old fight . Come out on the football or lacrosse field and watch him for a tew minutes if you want to be convinced. Ed is a home town product of which the village should be quite proud. At times he grows reminiscent and once, in one of these moods, Ed told us that he used to play the violin and often wishes that he had kept it up.

Every fall he led a straggling squad of cross-countrymen through the distant and remote pai ' ts of Delaware County, but always got them back again at college by dinner tmie. Since Nurmi came to America, Burt has been eating fish and now holds some records himself. Besides winning the Middle Atlantic States championship in the two-mile and cross-country, this protege of Doc Mercer made new college records in the mile and two-mile runs. It ' s the last ten miles, says Burt, that are the hardest. Swarthmore ' s Nurmi is adept at boxing and quite fond of the manly art of self-defence. They say though that some one in BufFalo does have him buffaloed . Even Achilles had a vulnerable spot. JOHN BRADLEY LEYPOLDT t A e 21 Park Avenue, Maplewood, N. J.

Every- one was alarmed but it soon proved that the volume was merely his newest work, How to Love Though Beautiful . Jack ' s athletic nature shows itself in tennis and fussing.

However, he declares that his home town (ot which Pittsburg is a surburb) needs efficient engineers. Last summer Tom developed his drawing ability by steering a speed y craft through the sea of dancers at Cape May.

Ashland Avenue, Chicago, IH. CIVIL ENGINEERING Bob is one of those big, silent men from the mid-west, but he is not so proud of that as of the fact that in his veins there flows the blood of that dauntless race of Scandahoofians who dare to live on dry salt herring, and take their protective coloring from their snow igloos. Possibly Bob ' s keen sense of humor developed as he looked back on these touching scenes of his ancestry. He is silent because he can think better, and when he speaks the score is about 2.6. Li addition, Bob ' s a rather husky merman, and he spends his summers as a life-guard on a Chicago beach saving the Jewish race Irom extermination , as he puts it.

ECONOMICS When Jack came to college, he brought a laugh with him which, because of its catchmg quality, soon had the whole college laughing with him. You couldn ' t help liking it, because you couldn ' t help liking him. Jack ' s success depends on his legs; that is, his athletic success. He starts off in the fall with the soccer hooters as captam next year. Then he turns to basketball and dancing. When spring comes around, he gets his toughest workout. Every game Jack has to run around the bases at least three times, and then get out and chase a few flies in the outfield. So there is little wonder he likes to loaf around Atlantic City or get out to Wyoming and his horses during summer vacation. RUTH LONGACRE n B 926 W. Marshall Street, Norristown, Pa.

SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Dick, the first of the McFeelys , is one of the few men of the campus who never had his high-school stuff knocked out of him. He came here with an enviable record and has maintained it well. Dick is an adept at anything from wield- ing a lacrosse stick to drinking tea. The first quality achieved for him a varsity letter, and the second, the rating of an Honors student. He is also a hardy lineman on the football team. As an example of his versatility, when he broke his arm at football, he wrote his daily letters with his left hand. Which reminds us of the inspiration of his missives. Dick is a trifle reticent on this point but we feel that a little sympathy never hurts. It ' s a shame Dick doesn ' t smoke, because her father is the man who first made a five-cent cigar with fifty-cent quality. GEORGE WILSON McKEAG 2 K 401 Lees Ave., Collingswood, N. J.

Her voice should preferably be low and soft, her manner charm- ing and agreeable. Above all, she should be willing to sacrifice herself at any time in ordei to give help to those who are in need of it.

ECONOMICS Ed drifted over from the little village of Primos which, according to the last census, had a population of twenty-eight (including cats, dogs, and Ed). He started college somewhat handicapped, being a day student and an engineer, but in his sophomore year Ed moved to Wharton and dropped engineermg, which was interfering with his college life. His roommate once asked him what his favorite expression was, and he replied that he could think of nothing fit to print. Being a radio fiend, he is an active member ot the Radio Club and has been its secretary-treas- urer for the past two years. Ed is quiet with the co-eds, for the simple reason that when he talks he says something sensible; so his social education is obtained from delicious magazines of an invigorating type.

Gert Lee 101 THOMAS KESSINGER RATHMELL 1003 8tli Avenue, Moore, Pa. BIOLOGY Tom first attracted our attention by his proficiency in dissecting pickled dogfish in the Zoology Lab his freshman year. Even at this early stage it was evident that he was destined to cut a place for himself. And he has justified our fondest predictions. He is one of Dr. Trotter ' s youthful prodigies in the medical world. He is also one of Mr. Nocka ' s most accomplished warblers and an able assistant manager of our championship track team. Tom still finds time to devote to the fair sex, however, and to judge from his rapt Monday morning expression of sleepy happi- ness, it is hard to believe that she expects some day to be a trained nurse.

After several blasts, the multitude gathered unto him and proclaimed Sammy sentinel of the Castle of Swarthmore. Whereupon they inquired as to this man ' s character and discovering that he was also wicked with the scalpel, appointed him keeper of the cats from the dungeons of Wharton.

PIERCE LEON RICHARDS K2 17 S. Highland Avenue, Lansdowne, Pa. ECONOMICS The last of the Lansdowne Trio, the end of a race of supermen, Pete had the rare dis- tinction of being a three-letter-man his second year at college. This fellow has discovered a real use for athletics; by careful practice he has been able to wrench his knee or his ankle in every game he plays, so that he never can go to classes or do any work the next day. Fortunately though, he has perfected a dance step that won ' t hurt the sore member. Pete was n ' t satisfied with being headlined every week for his athletic ability, so he orga- nized some of our better talent and formed the Orpheus Club. For the sake of the club Pete doesn ' t sing himself, with the result that the immediate success of the club would be insured if they could get together on the night of the performances.

JAMES HEFFNER SELLERS A e 420 Douglass Street, Reading, Pa. POLITICAL SCIENCE In Jim we have another member of that tired band of Pennsylvania Dutchmen from up against Reading. He spent his first year trying to learn how the English language had ought to be spoken yet, but, on proving un- successful, he brought Bob Eiche and Dan Heaton back with him already, to act as in- terpreters. Jim ' s principal weakness is for a member of the sophomore class yet. He says he doesn ' t care whether he graduates in 1927, or has to wait on her to graduate. Even after Jim ' s three-year course of study under Dean Fink, there remain exactly six people in Wharton who do less studying than Jim, and they are the janitors. It is a well- known fact that the best place to study is in Jim ' s room, because he ' s never there save when he ' s asleep. Bob 108 JACK COMLY SHOEMAKER SK 212 N. 34th Street, Plilladelphia, Pa. ECONOMICS Jack comes to us from the City of Brother- ly Love (Philadelphia, you know). But Jack is one of those who claim that Brotherly Love is merely a contradiction in terms. Curiously enough. Jack is famous for his manly, Nordic aspect and his school-girl complexion. Seeing him in the hall sometimes reminds us of the little lyric, ! have a little shadow that goes in and out with me . We realize that this is a nasty thing to say about a fellow and no one would say it unless he were green with envy — which we, at least, certainly are — for after all its a mighty nice girlie he goes with. Jack is a prominent member of the swimming team, and he cuts as mean a figure in a bathing suit as he does in his Kollege Kut Klothes. LEAH WOLFENDEN SHREINER K A e 60 Cedar Boulevard, Mt.

Jack 109 DAVID FRANKLIN SILVER K S 77 Chews Landing Road, Haddonfield, N. J. CHEMISTRY Dave hails from Haddonfield, just another one of those side stations of south Jersey. Most of his time is spent delving into that mystery which takes place in the little red building on the campus. It is said that one of Dave ' s fellow students in philosophy stopped him and asked if he really knew anything about philosophy or was he just kidding .? A question in philoso- phy is never correctly answered until Dave has been consulted. Dave ' s one failing is for blondes, especially that little one from Mary Lyon, or, in other words, the other inhabitant of Haddonfield. He never gets a chance to write to her any more though, as the mob in his room listening to the radio keeps him busy picking up new stations and the broken furniture. WALTER OSWALD SIMON 9 2 n 7101 Upland Street, Philadelphia, Pa. CHEMISTRY Walt is a representive of one of those de- hydrated sections of Philadelphia; those sub- urbs outside of the pail of the city, but which, if you listen to his phrasings, form the real liquid of the city ' s fluid government. Yes — it ' s Darby. On coming to Swarthmore. Walt proceeded to entertain the professors with some of this liquid, which has a very soothing effect. Even the Cruel Comrie craved this liquid. As he does in all his courses, Walt received his usual A in Comrie ' s Trig when over 90% of the class failed to pass the examination. Walt can easily be recognized by his unusual verbal expressions. When he is treading rough ground in conversation he can always fall back on his old retort Horse Collar . On the other hand, is it not an open question whether or not such genius is helpful in harmo- nizing on the harmonica . ' Dace - 4 Walt 110 HORACE HARRISON SMITH K 519 N. Galloway Street, Xenia, Ohio SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Hey, fella! Smittie is one of those few who fill the unforgiving minute full of sixty seconds ' worth of distance run . When he ' s not catching passes on the football field or practising tor track, you ' ll find him on the books — a regular bear for work. At least this was true the first two years. But now Smittie rooms over in Woolman house, and just across the road — well, anyway, we can remember when more than ONE heart tremulously fluttered. Possibly his duties as secretary to the Forensic Society take up most of his time, anyway we see very little of him. If you ever get the blues see Smittie and get him to grin for you. TIMOTHY EDWARD SMITH 1223 New York Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS The greatest treat we ever had in our lives was when we saw Tim take a shower bath. He donned a rubber bathing cap-so he wouldn ' t get his hair wet and catch cold when he went to dinner that night. Tim ' s first year and a half at college was spent quietly and sedately, but not so his second year and a half. During his Sophomore year, one of his classmates happened to take him up to a little town called Bristol. There he met a girl, and the old, old story was repeated. Now it is rumored that they are engaged and, as Tim pulls into college every Monday morning from somewhere, this rumor seems to be confirmed. Moreover he is an Honors student, which gives Dan Cupid quite a boost. Smittie Tim 111 KATHARINE JOSEPHINE SNYDER X n 5339 Greene Street, Germantown, Pa. MATHEMATICS In parts delightful.

BIOLOGY All hail Tony Spangler, scientific cat anatomist! A freshman one night, en route to a special party, entered Tony ' s room very much by mistake, and was unable to attend the party because the bloody muscle charts therein, surrounded by osseous portions of defunct felines, unnerved him so that he had to be carried back to his room. But when an investigation was earned on by the S. P. C. A., and Tony was hauled before their committee, he took the stand and said, Gentlemen, I love CATS in every form, and pride myself in my rather rare collection. Tony ' s averages seem to prove this interest; he does tear himself away though, long enough to have a try at soccer and lacrosse.

LATIN Jo was one of the famous Hagerstown combination that landed in Swarthmore our freshman year. ' Member we had such a time decidmg who was which and which was who? But by the end of freshman year, Jo had emerged as an individual. In spite of the fact of starting her college career by roommg m the Infirmary, she emerged as an individual who wielded a clever pen, wore good-looking clothes, and was terribly interesting . Then, suddenly, Jo left for a college nearer home. We were just beginning to know her and now we have to get acquainted all over again. But we ' re not complaining. We ' re just glad for the opportunity, and sorry we can ' t consult Hood for hints for her write-up on her sophomore year. WALTER SPEER STUDDIFORD S K 5422 9th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. BIOLOGY Washington may be a city of discord politi- cally speaking, but musically speaking it is one of haritiony, for from that town comes the king of the keys , Walter Stu ddiford. Walt was given the keys to the college the first day he set foot on our campus and has been using them ever since, either to set our John Wards to jigging or to entertain us with those senti- mental love ballads which, by the way, are supposed to be played for another comer from Washington. Her name is — well, you all know it anyway. The fellows over in Wharton have never entirely recovered from the shock Walt gave them when he appeared as a Spanish lady and performed the Tango so passionately in the Hamburg Show. As for the co-eds, they will never tire of his joy-spreading presence. Jo X IV alt 114 THEODORE K. SUGKOW 669 E. 23rd Street, Paterson, N. J. ECONOMICS Ted is the red-topped boy from Paterson who conscientiously did his gym work all year and forgot to turn in his. slips. Furthermore, Ted is the original guaranteed Jersey bull . He found this quality very useful in the past when he presided over the frequent meetings of the Suckow-Dallam-Ayres Lawyers ' Associa- tion. But the corporation has dissolved, and Ted, finding himself at a disadvantage, has had to adapt himself to the less interesting if not less arduous pursuit of studying. Ted came to college with a purpose, and while the purpose is now rather hazy, he is at least still at college. His intelligence was clearly shown when he changed his major from engineering to economics. HERBERT KNIGHT TAYLOR, Jr. a T 8211 Cedar Road, Elkins Park, Pa. ECONOMICS Yea, verily. Herb has had two brothers in Swarthmore before him and from them has he acquired many diverse things including a few hundred old text-books. The lanky heir has taken it upon himself to sell these at exorbitant prices; as one of his advertisements reads, Don ' t go elsewhere and be cheated — buy from me . Though we blush to mention it. Herb has two great weaknesses: Wimmen and Fud . He succumbs quite often to the wiles of some ot our Parrish-iennes, but still claims to be faith- ful to his little New England sugar-lump . If you have any doubt as to this, just sneak a look at the picture on his dresser. As for fud , well, when Herb is around, it certainly does disappear. Ted Herb 115 HAL,( LAURENCE JOSIAH TEST O 2 n Moorestown, N. J. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Somebody ' s always taking the joy out of life. Being an engineer, Testie has many causes for exercising this most cherished of his large accumulation of stock phrases. One for every occasion is his motto, and he is never at a loss to supply one at the proper moment. There are numerous occasions for: Just off hand I really can ' t state with any great degree of accuracy. Larry doesn ' t give the women much trouble here at Swarthmore, but from various things that he has said, we gather that somewhere in the region of Moorestown there ' s a lassie that he cares for. Be that as it may, and in spite of soccer and the daily bull-session, he does not let many things keep him off the books ; so he will doubtless be on the varsity in later life as he now is at college. JACK THOMPSON 2 K 1105 Kerlin Street, Chester, Pa. POLITICAL SCIENCE Jack is a great boy, although it must be admitted that he comes from Chester. In a swimming pool, Jack can surely spread his stuff . And it was he who designed the late excavations as Dean of Pitten- ger ' s Pirates . Jack spent one s u m m e r as as- sistant to Doc Mercer at Buck Hill, where he learned from a Russian dancer how to point his toes for a dive. He seldom speaks of this early training.

ECONOMICS We know of nothing better to say of Bill to show just what we think of him than that he is a good fellow with the usual number ot faults. One of these faults, that endears him to the heart of someone, is his inability to identify any letter of the alphabet except B . The K ' s, M ' s and S ' s never bother him but you should see him come to life when he hears the second letter of the famous twenty-six. Bill comes from the ranks of the day students. In his sophomore year he found the bumps and holes in the road made his travelling distance so great that he was always late or missing Collection. Being a student of applied Economics, he substituted wmgs for the mud- guards on his Henry. This addition, plus a new horn, traveled under the name Rollo , and is still traveling, as he forgot to tie it down one night. STEPHEN BROMLEY TILY, Jr. K 113 EdgehlU Road, Bala-Cynwyd, Pa.

He ' s tried his hand at chasing everything from Phoenix ads to soccer balls. And speaking of chasing — well, we needn ' t bring in the co-eds. Some people seem to have the idea that Steve is always as serious-minded and studious as he appears in the halls, but one conversation with him will correct that impression.

He is now taking Honors work, and plans next year to make the football team, as he was a star player at Gettysburg for two years. Tomlin ' s childhood days were spent hobnob- bing around with the Hinglishmen , as a result of which he has merited the title of The Oxfordian . Possibly his main activity at present is attending the opera. When he cannot get in town, he borrows a Victrola and a pair of dumb- bells and stages a performance in his room.

MATHEMATICS Waltzie, although he is very small in size, has several big ideas — of himself for the most part. He is a member of Pittenger ' s dollar- chasers who hold forth in the bookroom. We are indebted to Hube for our Saturday night mail, as it is he who drives the ponderous college truck to the station and back. Mr. Waltz is a rather exact gentleman, a product of the Math department, precise in everything he does. That is perhaps why he never has any trouble hitting the exact note when he sings with the Glee Club. He also claims the college record tor Sunday School attendance, not having missed once in thirteen years. SSSK. W JFahz 123 TON 1927 • 1 ROBERT ALLEN WARD K 417 Narberth Avenue, Narberth, Pa. ECONOMICS A man of his word and a man of few words — that ' s Bob. Yet, in spite of his usual silence, his voice is not hard to listen to when tuned to the banjo or mandolin in sympathy with the sorrows of a certain sailor ' s sweetheart , or the joys of a red-hot mamma . Bob came to us from State College, because — we surmise — the boys up there couldn ' t hold him down. Turner and Thomas are now doing good work in this respect and should come in for a bit of congratulation. Allie is something of a student and philoso- pher upon occasion, but his rest and thought do not conflict with the three or four hours a day he spends in making Swarthmore proud of her football and basketball teams.

And by typical is meant one who represents her fellow-students. 1. Gert is one of the fairer sex attending Swarthmore College as testified by both deans ' enrollment. 2. Gert is all-round as testified by her fellow- students for she is able to enter into anything which anyone might desire at anytime. 3. She is typical as testified by our alumnae who spot her immediately as a modern Swarthmorean. We, the affirmative maintain that Gert Whetzel is a typical, all-round Swarthmore co-ed.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Eggie is not very well known throughout the school, we hope not through his own choice but it looks that way, as he seems to have re- served his friendship for a chosen few. Those who are lucky enough to bask in the sunshine of his graces are indeed very fortunate, as his wit, his humor, and his ability to solve problems of any nature are surprising. His greatest proficiency probably lies in his ability to make a first-hour class, arising at 7:58 after a sleep shortened because of a fond- ness for movie magazines from which he gets his models for those Egyptian goddesses he sketches. Eggie also spends a great deal of time in looking after a most attractive cousin whom he makes frequent pilgrimages to see.

The Dean ' s office knows his front handle is Norman, and he sometimes uses it when he signs his checks. Moose is so leisurely in his actions that to watch him lounge from Wharton to Parrish is to make one wonder how he can get around on the football field or basketball floor so well. He ' s on his guard with both teams. He believes in the conservation of energy, so he retires sharply at ten every night except Christmas and when there is a Kappa dance. The cares of engineering never prevent him h ' om getting higher than a two-point without anyone knowing he studied. Moose is another one of those silent lovers of the West . The warm, radiating glow in his eyes is enough to wound the heart of any co-ed. We all agree with Moose in believing that Kappa ' s Girt is much more charming than Jersey ' s Sea Girt .

Chriss came to Swarthmore sort of half-heartedly, the other halt of her heart residing in Bowdoin. Well, we have been trying to decide whether or not to say both halves were there, but we ' ve concluded that that couldn ' t be true for the smTple reason that she has entered into thmgs too whole-heartedly here. On many a chilly, fall afternoon, Chriss has been seen on the back of a horse heading for the great open spaces — where the rest of the class goes, too — to say nothing of the many chilly, fall afternoons that Chriss has been seen playing bridge with a goodly number of the rest of the class.

No friend is dropping in. There is a telephone nearby but no one is calling. A printed bill of plays is thrown carelessly in the waste-paper basket.

' , L 142 (g anpiQ I ' ;J. - I2l2I2fRr3J fEI2J2I2I2fSS J2I2J iJ I RJ i AFTER several days of miserably oppressive weather. Commencement Week - dawned bright and comfortable. This Commencement marked the graduation of the class of NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-EIVE, the first class to complete four years under the new administration, and, thus, is the result of a new era. On Friday, the exercises were opened with the Class Day ceremonies, during which many humorous gifts were bestowed upon the departing Seniors. That evening, the first of three performances of the senior play, Pomander Walk , was given. It was coached by Jasper Deeter of the Hedgerow Theatre and proved to be an enjoyable success. The baseball game the following day was an exciting battle in which the Varsity downed the Alumni 12-10. The class of 1915 won first honors in the Alumni Parade, depicting forty different, well-known advertisements. Class banquets followed in Parrish Hall where the class of 1875 celebrated its Golden Anniversary. The gaiety then shifted to the two gymnasiums where the Senior and Alumni Dances were held. On Sunday, President Aydelotte delivered the baccalaureate sermon in which he stressed the value of living with all the intensity possible throughout HALCT ' m ifr ' Vj life. The traditional ivy was planted on the north side of Worth Hall, Marvin Y. Burr giving the oration, in which he announced that the class motto would be, Maintain the Right. The final day dawned in the glory of June ' s most beautiful weather. The college immediately took on an air of solemnity as the day of parting arrived. Edward Jenkins, ' 92, master of the ceremonies, led the procession from Somer- ville to the Magill Outdoor Auditorium, where Michael I. Pupin, Professor of Electro-Mechanics at Columbia, delivered the Commencement Address on Idealism in Higher Education. Ninety-three degrees were awarded, six of which were to Honors students, the second group to graduate under the new system. Three advanced degrees were conferred: Earl L. Williams, Master of Arts; Charles G. Bonner, A. B., Mechanical Engineer; and Halbert C. Hutchison, A. B., Electrical Engineer. The various scholarships and honorary awards were announced, and the Ivy and Oak Leaf Medals were presented to Marvin Y. Burr and Inez Coulter, respectively, as the setting sun brought to a fitting close the climax of the college life of another class. BIWaKM iWa J 143 J ' ■L L L J E J■HJ a IK llflf I J-aJ-aJ J J- J J J■HJ J J ■ 2J■5JSJ J■ IN spite of the inclemency of the weather, which ne- -cessitated several changes in the program, the fifty-sixth anniversary of the founding of the college was a successful event in the year ' s activities. A cold, steady rain made the customary academic procession impossible, and pro- hibited the holding of the exercises around the sun-dial as well. Although the celebration of the day was lessened by the absence of the songs and gay costumes of the classes, nevertheless, the spirit of the many friends and alumni of the college seemed impervious to the weather. The omission of the procession made the afternoon meeting the first event of the day. The Founders ' Day exercises, with the annual address, were held in Collection Hall and were well attended by alumni and students. Following the singing of the national hymn , Howard Cooper Johnson, ' 96, a member of the Board of Managers, read a passage from the Bible. Wilson M. Powell, President of the Board, then spoke on the relation of the Board of Managers to the college and the faculty. President Aydelotte followed with a short survey of the development of the college during the last twenty-five years, referring especially to the progress of the past year. He referred to the subsidy of the General Education Board for Honors work, the building of the Cloisters, and the newly-established Howard M. Jenkins Professorship of Quaker History and Research. In addition, the President announced that gifts received by the college since June, 1925, had amounted to nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Dr. John St. Loe Strachey, Editor of the London Spectator, was then intro- duced as the principal speaker of the occasion. Dr. Strachey gave a detailed and interesting account of the early history of George Fox and the Quakers. In his message he also touched on the existence of the university spirit in the United States. At the close of the meeting, many of the more venturous of the assemblage hastened to the athletic field to see the Swarthmore football team in action. The game was disappointing, since the Garnet was forced -to accept a 13-2 defeat at the hands of Franklin and Marshall. In the evening, a meeting was held in Collection Hall to celebrate the establishment of the Swarthmore chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Hugh Denworth, ' 15, presided and opened the meeting with a short sketch of the foundation of the Epsilon chapter, of which he is president. Following a poem by J. Russell Hayes, ' 88, Vernon Kellogg, Secretary of the National Research Council, delivered an address on What Science Doesn ' t Know. The evening ended with a reception in the Faculty Parlor, under the auspices of Phi Beta Kappa. 144 :-2JZJ i iiL[2izrinjij2i?j THE success of the Cooper Foundation through the past year has fully justi- fied the hopes of the founder, William J. Cooper. Speakers brought to Swarthmore both by the Foundation directly, and by various organizations with the assistance of the Foundation, have greatly added to the intellectual atmosphere of the college. The committee in charge of administering the fund has adopted a two- fold policy. Half of the money is used to secure two or three persons of national reputation each year. The remainder is utilized to enable, the various organiza- tions at Swarthmore to obtain speakers whom they otherwise would be unable to secure. During the past year the Cooper Foundation has presented three main events. The first was the lecture-recital of Carl Sandburg, which took place on December 7. Mr. Sandburg divided his lecture into three parts. As an intro- duction, he suggested a definition of poetry. Following this, he read several of his poems and concluded the evening with a group of folk-songs. On January 8, Walter Damrosch, noted concert pianist, composer and conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, gave a recital of Wagner ' s Siegfried , at the piano. It was through the Cooper Foundation that Dr. J. St. Loe Strachey, Editor of the London Spectator, delivered on Founders ' Day his address on the early history of the Quakers. The Foundation also aided the Swarthmore chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in bringing Vernon Kellogg, Secretary of the National Re- search Council, to the college on Founders ' Day. Three speakers were obtained through the society of Sigma Xi. Dr. Dexter S. Kimball, Dean of the Engineering School at Cornell University, addressed the opening meeting of Sigma Xi on October 20. The other two addresses were given by Dr. Arthur L. Day, Director of the Geological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institute, and Dr. Arthur L. Little. J. Rennie Smith and Paul Blanshard came to Swarthmore under the aus- pices of the Forensic Society. An important event was the recital of Mme. Cecile de Horvath, which was made possible through the efforts of the Somer- ville Forum and the committee of the Cooper Foundation. In addition, it was the Foundation that enabled the Cercle Fran ais to secure Professor Pierre Giroud. The Classical Club brought Miss Esther B. Van Deman, and the English Club brought David Morton, both with the assistance of the Foundation. Another event worthy of mention is the series of lectures by Dr. Felix E. Schel- ling. Professor of English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. Other events, too numerous to recount, have resulted from the generosity of the Cooper Foundation. 145 r L WHEN Dr. John A. Miller, Director of the Sproul Observatory, set sail from San Francisco early last July, the first visible step was taken toward the long-expected expedition to Sumatra. From that time forward, preparations advanced rapidly both at Swarthmore and at the scene of the observations. The plates made on the two previous expeditions, those to Mexico and to New Haven, were studied carefully, and the equipment was minutely regulated and tested. Finally, all instruments were ready, and, after a long journey, they arrived safely in Sumatra. Meanwhile, a site had been selected by the party of observers which, with Dr. and Mrs. Miller, included Dr. H. D. Curtis, Director of the Allegheny Observatory, Mrs. Curtis, Ross W. Marriot and Dean B. McLaughlin of the Sproul Observatory, Adrien Rubel and Wilson M. Powell, Seniors at Harvard, and Lament Dominick of New York. The position chosen by the Swarthmore expedition was a strategic one near Benkoelen, on the west coast of Sumatra, and was instrumental in the success of the undertaking. The erection of the cameras began in early December, and all was in readiness by the crucial day of January fourteenth. Dr. Miller rehearsed the manipulation of the ap- paratus, which included the giant sixty-foot camera, two Rowland Concave Gratings, two Etalon interferometers, and numerous small cameras and regulat- ing instruments. Due to the uncertainty of weather conditions in Sumatra, Dr. Miller estimated a three-to-two chance of success. Some anxiety was harbored with regard to the achievement of the expedition ' s two-fold purpose, that of studying the corona, and of testing the Einstein effect. The totality of the eclipse, which extended in a path across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, touching East Africa, Sumatra, and the Philippines, lasted in Sumatra for three minutes and ten seconds. It was for these three minutes that the observers had spent months of time and preparation. Fortunately, when half-past two arrived on the afternoon of January fourteenth, the clouds parted and the expedition w as able to make photo- graphs in almost entire clearness. By eflficient management, ten plates were exposed in the large camera, besides several in each of the smaller instruments. Two hours after the time of eclipse, the following cable from Dr. Miller was received at Swarthmore. The shape of the corona was 146 of maximum type. Numerous spots on the solar surface on days before the eclipse, hence we expect very much interest and detail in the corona. . . . All instruments were in good adjustment. The entire program was carried out as planned. We are apprehensive that the four plates exposed in the fifteen-foot twin camera for the Einstein effect are damaged. The stars surrounding the sun were rather faint, and we fear that the thin clouds may have blotted the sun out. If this is so, the Einstein experiment will have failed. The party of observers sailed for home from Singapore January twenty- eighth on the President Polk. Dr. Miller brought the negative plates back with him and they were developed in March. With the results of the observation thus permanently recorded, the third Swarthmore College eclipse expedition was completed even more successfully than the preceding two. 147 THE drive toward the realization of the Women ' s Student Building at Swarth- more is now well under way. The original campaign, begun last October, in which the committee appealed to the Alumnae through geographical districts, proved encouraging, and almost a third of the required amount was subscribed. Alumnae and preparatory and ex-students to the number of six hundred fifty- four contributed over nineteen thousand dollars. The success of this campaign was due directly to the untiring and efficient work of the district chairmen and captains. The remaining Alumnae are being approached from a different angle. Class chairmen have been appointed who will solicit contributions on the basis of class membership. The Policy Committee, whose chairman is Lydia Williams Roberts, ' 97. has been ably assisted in the undertaking by the Executive Committee. The per- sonnel of the latter committee is as follows: Hetty Lippincott Miller, ' 88, chairman, Lydia Williams Roberts, ' 97, Helen Rogers Evans, ex- ' 02, Emma Jane Wilson Shoemaker, ' 06, Elizabeth Price Robinson, ' 11, Elizabeth B. Oliver, ' 13, Eleanor Stabler Clarke, ' 18, Virginia L. Coleman, ' 21. Barbara Manley Philips, ' 22, Eleanor A. Shinn, ' 22. It is the sincere hope of the Policy Committee that the spirit and aim of the Women ' s Student Building will be fully appreciated. When this is the case, the drive cannot help having the whole-hearted support of loyal Swarthmore Alumnae. Graduates are urged to contribute to the Women ' s Student Building Fund and thus bring to Swarthmore an institution now cherished by most American colleges. .- r ' - • J rr) - tf v- - ■ J : ■ ■ ■ J— ' -. - r ,«ii .

Pittenger, Comptroller of the College, for his splendid work in making the Senior-Faculty Commons a reality. With the other campus irhprovements instituted last summer, Mr. Pittenger included the basement of Section D of Wharton Hall, and the room was entirely renovated with new paint, wainscoting, and fixtures. Through his donations, the room was then comfortably appointed, being furnished with fine chairs. Oriental rugs, a sofa, a piano and a Victrola. The Senior-Faculty Commons, now affectionately known as the Pitt , was originally designed as a meeting place for Seniors and Faculty members exclusively. But with the growing atmosphere of welcome which pervaded the Pitt , the original purpose rapidly broadened, and before long it came to be used for count- less others. Alumni and friends of the college who have been entertained there during the year have been much interested in the experiment, and many generous gifts have been made. A davenport, table lamp, wood-box, and several pictures have been donated, as well as subscriptions to the National Geographic Magazine, the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, the Springfield Republican and the Christian Science Monitor. Several prominent guests of Swarthmore College have already visited the Pitt . Carl Sandburg, after his lecture-recital, was entertained there. Walter Damrosch and David Morton, as well, were present at interesting discussions following their lectures in Collection Hall. It has also fulfilled a long-felt need as a place to entertain visiting teams, and groups from other colleges who have visited the Pitt have all been enthusiastic in praise of the idea. Through the year, many meetings of local organizations have been held in the Commons. Ihe room has been used by the Engineers ' Club, and by various committees and discussion groups. It is the hope of Mr. Pittenger that in the future the room will come to fill an even more important part in the life of Swarth- more. With this end in view, he is planning several additional improvements not the least of which is a kitchenette where light lunch or refreshments maybe prepared. |l«IW M |i W «  VtfsJ.j ftWiW v v 149 r The Windows of Worth A Fenestra! Fantasie They flame in the sunset In hues iridescent, With silver and scarlet They glimmer and gleam. Afar o ' er the campus They throw their soft radiance As if to allure us To pathways of dream. They light up the highway For pilgrims to Chester, For big trucks that rumble With barrels and boards. For lordly Rolls-Royces That roll by in splendor, For Florida tourists Who squeak by m fords. In drowsy December When meadows are snowbound And nature is sleepmg All peaceful and cool. They shine o ' er the landscape In beauty fenestral As in small toy houses Of children at Yule. They gleam like the casements Of some old-world palace Remote in a meadow Of beautiful France; So ruby and rosy, Enchanting, mysterious, Their glow, as m visions From olden romance. Through mist and through tempest They shine on serenely. Though dormer and gable Are lashed by the rains; The strong walls around them Could not seem more steadfast Than do these tall mullions And bright leaded panes. For whether wdd wmter Moan round roof and chimney, Or April nights till them With music and mirth. They glow through all weathers, A type of endurance. Warm-hearted and friendly, The windows of Worth. (UCyCysj OUx4 4JiXJu cJXcuJje 3S 150 i fRAT£ftni71£:5 151 Interfmternity Council KAPPA SIGMA Clifford E. Fix, ' 26 P.

While the most important aim of a newspaper is to relate news, one function of a college paper is to record facts of happenings of all kinds and thus become part newspaper and part magazine. A file of the Phoenixes issued during the four years of one ' s college life should some day serve as an invaluable memory book. This one aspect of the paper has been borne in mind fKiTOR by the present stafi though the other purposes of a news sheet have not been neglected. Emphasis has been laid on giving the news in an attractive, interesting and reliable manner. As a leader in college affairs the paper has aided in changing out-grown institutions, sponsored and supported progress being made by the college in scholastic, athletic and social realms and praised and blamed, all with moderation. Every issue has called for careful selection of material printed and an enlarged weekly edition in the near future evinces the progress being made. The untiring efforts of the staff members have made the growth possible. The book and play review sections have become more highly developed. Emphasis has been placed again this year on make-up to keep the paper among the most presentable of college publications. Co-operation has been one of the outstanding characteristics of the work this year. The large staff at the beginning of the year has been reduced and trained to a well organized and smoothly working body. Every Junior has been given the opportunity to superintend an issue personally. The business staff has lent its support in a most helpful manner, and the Advisory Board has ever given its backing. The department of the paper which is most prominent and which receives the greatest interest of the alumni is the Alumni Notes so carefully prepared each week by Caroline Lukens, ' 98, Alumni Editor. The possibilities of the college press were demonstrated in the recent discussion on the World Court. With the addition of more space devoted to outside news there will be another step made in the progress of the Swarthmore Phoenix which will mark the present year as but another milestone on the upward path. 186 The S varthmore Phoenix Staff The Swarthmore Phoenix is published on Tuesdays during the College Year by the Students of Swarthviore College.

Their work must stand the test of com- parison with that of the good old days , and, in time, with that of the better days to come . It must be at the same time contemporary and permanent. It must cover accurately and adequately one whole year of college life, than which there is none more full and varied. And it must do this to the satisfaction of the Class, of the College, and • of that innumerable host, the friends of the College. Realizing all this for the first time, the 1927 Staff was appalled at what lay before it, but finding that no time had been set aside for idle dreaming, set to work at once. The result of its efforts you have before you. Within its pages are to be found those things which mean most to every undergraduate, and those things which will best portray to the folks at home all that is typical of college life at Swarthmore. Victory and defeat stand side by side, and glory shines in each. Honors are bestowed, and ridicule is meted out, impartially and sans malice aforethought. Life is portrayed, for all who wish to see. Throughout, the task has been a pleasant one, and may be best likened to a glorious journey, with long, dark tunnels here and there. But the longest and darkest are past, as, our trip completed, the book goes to press, and the only for- mality left is its reception by those who will buy it. May they drink heartily from its deep Pierian springs, and, if the draught be bitter now and then, dilute it generously with that most sweetening of liquids, the milk of human kindness.

With the increase in subscriptions there has come a corresponding increase in the material contributed, thus giving the editors an extensive range of work from which to choose. It serves as a purely literary magazine and its aim has been to bring out the best talent of this sort in the College. Having been endowed by friends, its financial future is secure and there is not the mad search for advertisements which usually accompanies such an o enterprise. Some agitation has arisen as to the advisability of an office for this maga- zine and it is very likely that one will be secured in the near future. This quarterly grew out of a need, which has long been outstanding in the College, for a medium through which the literary efforts of the students might be brought to notice. It sets a laudable goal toward which the aspiring writer may work — to see, if successful, his attempts in print. Six issues of the Portfolio have thus far appeared. In the first few it was found that the same type of articles prevailed each time, but with the recognition which the magazine has now been accorded, its diversity of interest has grown. Thus its future seems secure. The Stafi represents a group of students whose interest in this growing Swarthmore enterprize has led them to work for a production which well records their efi orts. Through their work the success of the Portfolio has become an estab- lished fact, and stands on well laid foundations.

Silver Bay Conference FOR the seventh year Swarthmore sent a spirited group of delegates to the Y. M. C. A. conference held at Silver Bay on Lake George. Six hundred young men, representing over eighty universities and colleges, met at this annual con- vention. Situated in the center of a great summer playground amidst the Adiron- dacks and far from the heat and dust of cities, Silver Bay furnishes the ideal spot for students to look back upon their colleges. Lending a charm to this atmos- phere, at the head of Lake George is Fort Ticonderoga which holds so many traditions of valiant American youth. The conference of 1925 was held from June 11 to 19. Personages represent- ing various countries gave inspiring speeches to the young men, notable among whom were Miss Bruce of England, John R. Mott, Harry Emerson Fosdick and Dr. Richard Roberts of Toronto, Canada. Bible study groups, open forum and discussion groups made up the program for each morning, the afternoons being devoted to the wonders of nature. Hiking, fishing and boating furnished pleasure for many, others finding amusement in baseball and tennis. Swarthmore was not able to regain the tennis championship which was won last year by Hanson H. Hodge, ' 26. The main object of the conference was to ta lk over current problems and to discuss campus questions as the ditiferent delegations experienced them. All the students benefited by the exchange of ideas. The racial problem was the most discussed by the conference. The spirit and the will to push onward, accentuated by the speakers and the eagerness of the students, created a desire to do worthw hile things for the college, the Y. M. C. A. and the individual. Those who attended the conference from Swarthmore were Richard M. Perdew, ' 26, Walter O. Simon, ' 27, Robert B. Clothier, ' 27, George W. McKeag, ' 27, John W. Dutton, ' 28, and Ellis G.

W. conference, does it? But if you had been, as we were, in a canoe on Eaglesmere Lake, you could have looked up through the moonlight to hear a man ' s voice ringing out from the midst of a huge campfire, a campfire surrounded by several hundred gypsy-clad maidens following their padaran, to a familiar spot where they return every year. They weren ' t the same group who had camped along this trail the year before, but they were the same which had argued that morning with Judge Florence Allen about woman ' s apathy in politics, about our prevalent fear of being religious, or discussed eagerly the social customs of our day. They were seven representatives who made quite an outstanding hit with a gentleman who had charge of the boats. Best landing I ' ve seen to-day he told them. But we remember hearing them argue with Bryn Mawr for a co- educational conference next year. These were the same 7 who always laughed most surreptitiously when you said, Where ' s the key to the boat house? They must have been rather a tough bunch, too, we fear, for two of them, Fran and Kitty , we hear, fed the rest on twenty-five cent steak and they still think it was better than College. As they rode or jounced buss -ily toward Munsey in the moonlight we caught them singing We are seven to some Swarthmore tune. They knew who the seven were, but in case you don ' t, we submit the following names for future reference: Betty Sharpies, Eleanore Leech, Ginny Brown, Esther Howard, Kitty Snyder, Jessie Hoffman, and Fran McCafiferty. 197 198 199 r. ii ' ' Mil lYff ill Ifi 1 I. 1 ' V Glee and Instrumental Clubs THE Swarthmore Glee and Instrumental Clubs enjoyed the most successful year in the history of the college. Under the excellent training of Mr. Karl W. Nocka, and with the capable management of Donald G. Dudley, ' 26, and EUwood R. Burdsall, ' 27, his assistant, the clubs attained a state of perfection which classed them with the organizations of the largest universities in the east. Altogether, nine concerts were given during the year. Following the open- ing concert with the Women ' s Glee Club, two concerts were presented at the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall in Atlantic City. One of these performances was broad- cast by radio, and letters of hearty appreciation were received from many parts of the country. The next two concerts were given at Lansdowne on February 5, and the City Club on February 8. Probably the most distinct success of the season was the performance rendered at Washington. The assurance of the Glee Club and its sensitive response to Mr. Nocka made this concert highly polished. On Friday, February 19, the annual Concert and Prom took place at Swarth- more College. It was with much enthusiasm that the student-body saw the clubs justify their high reputation. On the following Monday, a performance was given at the Strath Haven Inn and the season closed at West Chester. Particular credit is due Miss Anne Lefever, ' 29, and Everett U. Irish, ' 28, who ably accompanied the clubs. A feature of the year was the duo-trio of Friend D. Hunter, ' 27, Everett U. Irish, ' 28, and Walter Coleman, ' 29. Several special numbers were rendered by the male quartet which included Walter Studdiford, ' 27, Frederick S. Townley, ' 26, John S. Milne, ' 26, and Donald G. Dudley, ' 26. 200 Glee and Instrumental Clubs Manager Dona ' ld G. Dudley, ' 26 Assistant Manager Ellwood R. Burdsai.i,, ' 27 Librarian T. Ross Fink, ' 26 GLEE CLUB Director Karl W.

Eb l The Little Theatre Club THE Little Theatre Club, an organization designed to promote interest in dramatics and to encourage the production of the best of the modern plays with the pick of the talent in the undergraduate body, completed another suc- cessful year with the presentation of two plays, one as a Founders ' Day feature, and the other the regular spring production. Membership in the club is based on worthy performance in major roles of at least two productions or ability in stage management and lighting effects. OFFICERS President Robert W.

Under the direction of Cornelia Stabler Gillam, ' 20, the student players, of whom several had proven their ability in former productions, gave an excellent performance. Robert Stabler, as Maitland White, sees the counterpart of his own youth in his son Ricky , played by Edward Bartlett. He wants the boy to have all the advantages that he had impulsively tossed aside in order to marry Nancy, Virginia Melick. Ricky , however, is very much in love with Veronica Duane, played by Alice Dickey, and, rather than spend time in further study he is anxious to take a position in the firm of G. T. Warren, played by Robert Graham, who is the typical successful business man. The plot is not a new one but it includes some interesting character develop- ment and the roles were interpreted with great understanding. Nancy, still so young at heart, can ' t bear to see her husband saddened by the misunder- standing with Ricky , who feels that his father is unreasonable. So with Geoffrey Ni chols, played by Donald Dudley, and Maitland White, she de- vises a plan to help him. Veronica is ready to do all she can and wants to sacri- fice her happiness for Ricky but, fortunately, events turn out in the end so that they can be married and he can still continue his study. Amusing by-play was afforded between Geoffrey Nichols and Betty Miller as the little maid who wants to become a lady. 205 1927 D ' One-Act Plays jUE to the ever increasing popularity in Dr. Hicks ' One-Act Play course our dramatic talent has this year been urged to the height of its ability by the- means of a new competitive system. Two coaches work with two different casts on the same play and after four or five weeks of concentrated work tryouts are held after which the best of each pair is chosen for presentation. As a result, last December Eugene O ' Neil ' s Dreamy Kid created wide- spread enthusiasm for the delightful interpretation given of it by four of our students and their clever coach, Florence Hoskinson. Robert Stabler and Elizabeth Pratt as Dreamy and Ceely ; Helen Scott, the dying grandmother; Mary Passmore as Irene , all ranked high in their presentations of the negro dialect. The Rescue , under Gratia Kendall ' s management, showed three remarkably distinct types in a home afTected by the fear of recurrent insanity. Esther Thom- son starred with her portrayal of a temperamental neurotic, as did Carolyn Hearne, her robust cousin, and Ruth Ennis as the gaunt grandmother in their respective roles. In John Galsworthy ' s satirical farce Hallmarked , Jean Prosser worked with the largest of the three casts, including two canine players whose native talent she encouraged. Virginia Melick appeared in the role of Herself , Marietta King as Ella , Alexander MacDougall, the country squire , with Marian Foberg as his wife, Maude . Robert Eiche, the hen-pecked rector, displayed excellent by-play and originality. In the second production, Robert Eiche again appeared, this time as a Scotchman David Prime, the leading role in Harold Chapin ' s The Philoso- pher of Butterbiggens . Lucile Buchanan, the coach, did much to make the play, though short, uproariously amusing with William Howard as the satisfied bus- i§ 206 ' JU band, and Helen Scott, his spirited wife. Robert Eiche, Lizzie ' s Feyther , delighted the audience hugely by squalling much like an old rooster until he was allowed to tell Wee Alexander (Chester Ryan) a bit story afore going a baed. In The Tinker ' s Wedding which followed, F sther Howard ' s (originality as old drunken Mary Byrne, reigned supreme. The part of her son was well taken by William Pickett, playing opposite, Alice Dickey, who displayed her usual charming vivacity as Sarah Casey. Alexander MacDougall ' s f)riestly gravity was also well portrayed, while the whole play was under the coaching of Richard Thompson. In the last of this series of plays, the scene changed to a German watering place, where the action, setting, and costuming of Sudermann ' s Faraway Princess , combined in producing one of the most effective productions of the season. This play was given under the direction of Gratia Kendall. Helen Zendt, the garrulous Frau von Halldorf , with her two daughters, Libby ( Katherine Carl) and Milly (Harriet Townsend), the fetching waitress, Ruth Longacre, and Frances McCafferty, the fidgety landlady, accentuated the dreamy sadness of the Faraway Princess , played by Polly Smith, with her punctilious maid-of- honor, Marian Foberg. Due to Theodore Fetter ' s illness, Robert Stabler proved a most amiable student and admirer of the Princess. On the whole, the conscientious work carried on in the Little Theatre garret, behind the scenes, deserves our loyal praises. Ross Fink, one of the coaches, has been particularly untiring in his efforts with both his cast and the scenery, while Henry McAllister added much to the plays by his effective handling of the lighting arrangements. 207 i mw Commencement Play THE class of 1925 put aside its Quaker bonnets and donned the dainty lavender-scented gar- ments of over a century ago on Class Day for the performance of the commencement play. The production was Pomander Walk , a costume play by Louis N. Parker. Magill Out-door Aud- itorium with its wide range of possibilities for stage settings was perfectly adapted to the - . , ■ difficult scenery of an old Eng- lish lane with a river in the background, and last, but not at all least, the Gazabo . The players them- selves helped create and hold this delightfully quaint atmosphere which was the chief charm of the play. Eleanor Foote, as the sweet young heroine, and Bud Humpton, as Lieutenant Sayle, the perfect hero, held the audience enrapt under the spell of their charming love affair. Admiral Sir Peter, a gruff, lovable old blunderer, was well-portrayed by Spence Keare. Peg Barclay, as Pamela Paskett, made interesting situations for Sir Peter as well as for the onlookers. Without these two sweet peas much of the spice and humor of the play would have been lost. Whenever tears seemed near the surface, Bobby Howarth, the Eyesore , appeared as if by magic with his fishing-pole and provided more comic element by his very existence. Jasper Deeter, of the Hedgerow Theatre, coached the entire cast and suc- ceeded in producing a nearly flawless production.

With more use of the open forum style this year than last she also engaged Pennsylvania, and two Rutgers freshman teams, in the old straight team contest, just by way of variety. Variety, both for participants and audiences, was further increased by discussing the World Court and Coal Mine questions in the fall, then using four questions for the spring schedule, with a home debate and a trip on each. These topics included the Recognition of Russia, the Child Labor Amendment, the Federal Education Bill, and for the dual debate with the Rutgers Freshmen, the World Court. Oxford was met for the third time, after Cambridge had taken her place last year. Hamilton, Hobart, Washington and Jefferson, Carleton (Minn.), and Lincoln were debated by the Garnet for the first time. The meeting with Lincoln was the first Swarthmore had ever had with a colored school, and was in every way successful.

There were seven debates in all, six of which took place away and one at home, showing a large increase in the number over pre- vious years. In all except the debate with West Virginia University on Child Labor the open forum style was used. In this one Swarthmore took the negative, losing to the West Virginia team. Swarthmore introduced this style of split teams to many of its ojiprjnents, and it was received and used with great interest. In the debate with Pittsburgh University, on the State Control of Curriculum, Dorothea Wagner took the affirmative while Marion Palmenberg took the negative. Dorothea Wagner again upheld the affirmative with Alice Dickey in the debate with Cornell University on the Censorship of Literature and Drama, while Olga Rubinow was on the negative side. In the next debate, that with Elizabethtown College on the Government Control of Coal Mines, Margaret Lewis supported the affirma- tive, while Gertrude Whetzel upheld the negative. Marietta Watson and Edna Shoemaker took the negative side in the debate with West Virginia University, carried on under the old style, and lost to the affirmative team, composed of the visiting women. In the New York University debate on the Educational Bill, Ruey Sieger took care of the affirmative and Marion Palmenberg of the negative. In the last debate of the season, the freshman debate with George School on the Chinese Question, Marion Hall took the affirmative and Winona vonAmmon the negative.

It was hoped when this new organization was founded that it would flourish where two separate organizations were weak. This hope has been partly real- ized although the Forum is only in its infancy. The aim of this new organiza- tion is to stimulate the thought and discussion of the problems of modern civili- zation, which every individual must consider, and to connect his education with these problems. Students interested in the Forum may elect or vote actively. All shades of opinion are presented by students and by outside speakers. Among the outstanding debates and speakers of the year were: an Oxford debate on the question whether the United States should enter the World Court; Rennie Smith, Labor Member of Parliament who gave an intimate insight into the Industrial Situation with reference to the mining industry in England; and Paul Blanshard who gave an interesting talk on the Riots in China .

' ' 3 ?:: Engineers ' Club Organized 1915 THIS club was organized for the purpose of reviewing recent discoveries and achievements in engineering, discussing questions not raised in the classroom, giving power in the presentation of topics, promoting intimacy between students and faculty, and providing guidance in the engineering vocations. During this year several fine speakers have given worthwhile talks to the Engineers with a view to acquainting them with some of the problems they will very likely be confronted with in the profession. Norman G. Shidle, ' 17, Editor of Automotive Industries, and A. Prescott Willis, ' 23, told of the character- istic experiences they have had. Raymond S. Munson, of the Atlantic Steel Company, spoke on What the Steel Industry Offers for the College Graduate. An especially interesting talk was given by W. H. Berry, Ex-Treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania and the inventor of the Berry Boiler, which has proved so efficient that it is now being used throughout the country. OFFICERS President John S.

Roger Test THE last year at Swarthmore was quite an exceptional one tcjr the (jarnet ' s athletics. Three championship teams were produced, namely, track, tennis and soccer, while the women ' s basketball team went through its schedule with neither a defeat nor a tie to blemish its record. Under the able coaching of Dr. Mercer our track team had one of its most successful seasons in recent years. The team defeated Lehigh. Delaware, Johns Hopkins, and Haverford in dual meets without very great difficulty, established a new record in its one-mile relay race at the Penn Relays, and then capped a glorious season with a victory in the Middle Atlantics. A number of records fell during the season. As only two varsity men are lost by graduation, much is expected for the future. The tennis team made up for a mediocre season of six victories and four defeats by scoring an overwhelming triumph in the Middle Atlantics, Seymour and Dudley placing first and second respectively in the singles. Not a man was lost through graduation. With a host of veterans back from last year, the soccer team won the cham- pionship of the State Soccer League. This is the first championship since 192L With most of its members returning, the team should repeat in the coming season. The women ' s basketball team won all of its games, mostly by astoundingly wide margins, to better even its wonderful record of last year. The baseball team won nine games and lost seven of a very hard schedule. Notable were victories over the powerful Rutgers, Wesleyan, Haverford, and Muhlenburg nines, the last being undefeated until it came to Swarthmore. The lacrosse team ended a rather poor season of five defeats in regular contests by scoring crushing victories over Penn and N. Y. U. With the loss of only four men and with a wealth of good material to draw from, coach Lewis should turn out a winning combination. If there had been any doubt about the success of our football team, it was flung to the four winds after the Haverford game. Who would have predicted a 70-13 triumph when at the end of the first quarter the score was 13-0 against us? Although beaten, the team certainly gave Princeton and Penn a run for their mon- ey; in fact Penn scored as close a win in the Swarthmore game as she did all year. Women ' s hockey with four victories, one tie, and one defeat, was quite successful. The half-hearted playing and wild swinging of former years were missing. Despite the innovation of archery and other interests that kept some from the hockey field, the team was well supported and competition for the var- sity was strong. Considering the lack of a suitable floor on which to practice, the basketball team did very well in winning as many games as it did. This is another sport in which few will be lost for the next season, two this time. Therefore the season of 1926-1927 should be a successful one. Although it won but two meets, the swimming team put forth some pretty good exhibitions. Several meets were lost by very narrow margins. 219 The Varsity Club THE purpose of the Varsity Club is to keep alive and promote keen interest in all sports, major and minor, at Swarthmore College by encouraging more students to go out for athletic honors, by discouraging athletes from break- ing training, and by striving for high standards of sportmanship in all Swarth- more athletics. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible to active membership. Sophomore letter men are eligible to associate membership, while Freshmen may attend meetings after they have won a letter. Members of the club may be recognized by the oblong garnet and white button worn on the coat lapel. Diagrams ot a football and a baseball field, a basketball floor, a track, and lacrosse sticks on the button serve to indicate the sport in which the letter was won. OFFICERS 1925-1926 President . .

Ivins 222 192.5 Football Review FOR the season of 1925, Coach Mercer built up) a team capable of playing the finest football seen at Swarthmore in many years. Handicapped by a gruelling schedule which opened with Penn and slated Franklin and Marshall and Princeton for consecutive Saturdays, the plucky Garnet eleven battled its way to four decisive victories and suffered only three defeats. A super- human effort was made to down Penn, and had Swarthmore had an ounce of power left in the fourth quarter, she could have pounded her way just six yards to victory. But Penn ' s reserve again proved too strong, and as their substitute center dashed down the field with the intercepted pass, he carried Swarthmore ' s hope of victory with him. Undaunted, the Garnet machine set out to defeat Princeton. Yet after Lippincott had missed a fifty-yard drop-kick by inches, and Evans stepped out of bounds before crossing the Orange and Black goal- line, Swarthmore was again stripped of victory. The one defeat which the Little Quakers deserved was that administered by Franklin and Marshall. The Lancastrians won because they played better football. The statistics, then, show that Swarthmore sank Susquehanna, Delaware, Ursinus and Haverford, and that she was defeated by Penn, Princeton and C. l ' I Al.N W ll.LUX ATlAlN-bLtLl RIi-llAKlJi 223 r HAIA ' l-JJLJ ' far tsrV.TT l f Hmm m Recovering a Susquehanna Fumble Gouig lluoui;li the Lrsinus Lni Franklin and Marshall. But the statistics give no idea of the tremendous fight and skill with which the Garnet warriors staged a comeback against Penn which spread havoc in the hearts of thousands on thousands of Penn rooters. They give no idea of the indomitable spirit which drove Captain Wilcox and his men forty long yards in an unstoppable drive toward Princeton ' s goal-line. They give no idea of the co-ordination and ability of a team which could pile up seventy points on a plucky aggregation such as Haverford proved. The Swarth- more eleven of 1925 will long be remembered in the annals of the college. In spite of a great showing of unusual power and usual fight, Swarthmore took a trimming at the hands of Penn in their annual battle which opened the Little Quakers ' season. Content with playing a defensive game for the first three quarters, the Garnet exhibited an attack in the last period which made the New York Times exclaim in wonder; Not in the history of football on Frank- lin Field has there been a second half of football that has been so crammed full of thrills as in the twenty-ninth annual meeting between the Big and Little Quakers, Swarthmore ' s first count came when Seymour fell on a blocked kick for a touchdown. After two beautiful forward passes, Wilcox crashed over the line for the second touchdown. Swarthmore ' s fight had been aroused and it was nothing short of exhaustion which deprived her of victory. Forced to pass IX MANAGER OGDEN DE CROOT KOEHNLINE 224 Rogers I ' likes a Forward Pass in tliu Ptnn (ianie on the six-yard line, the Little Quakers lost the ball, after which Penn pushed over another touchdown for a 26-13 victory. Hampered by the loss of Korn, stellar wingman, the Swarthmore aggre- gation nevertheless battered Susquehanna to a 22-0 decision. From the mo- ment when Eckerd arched a beautiful drop-kick between the bars for the first score until Evans slid over for the final tally, the entire Swarthmore team played consistent football. Wilcox, as usual, starred with his line-cracking, and Eckerd repeatedly knifed his way through the Orange and Maroon line for substantial gains. Only straight football was used in the contest, and Coach Mercer sent in a number of promising substitutes. Swarthmore ' s mid-season slump was evident in the Delaware fracas, and the team had its hands full to emerge with a two-point victory. The only score of the game came after Seymour blocked a kick, and Richards fought his way through the mass of players to fall on the ball for a safety. Swarthmore gained eighteen first downs, mainly through the line-plunging of Captain Wilcox and DeGroot, but Delaware stiffened in the pinches and prevented any further scoring. Seymour was injured in the same play by which he made possible the Garnet score, and the team prepared for Franklin and Marshall with two stellar ends out of the game. On the following Saturday, the Lancastrians upset the series of tie games and administered a setback to the tune of 13-2. In a freezing drizzle, Stehman, opposing halfback, ran wild for two touchdowns, while Swarthmore netted onlv two points after the single fumble of the game. The Garnet machine seemed unable to get under way, and it was not until the final quarter that any real football was displayed. In that period, however, Franklin and Marshall did 225 J Wilcox Skirts Penn ' s Left End for Thirty Yards not make a single first down, while Captain Wilcox repeatedly crashed their weakening defense for short gains. The Princeton game was another heart-breaking battle for the Garnet gridmen. Determined not only to maintain Swarthmore ' s record of consistent scoring on the Tigers, but to beat them as well, the team put up a brilliant fight in Palmer Stadium. The breaks proved to be in favor of the heavier Princeton eleven, and the stubborn Garnet warriors again tasted defeat, this time by the score of 19-7. After three close drop-kicks by Lippincott had missed the bar, and after Evans had stepped out of bounds on his long run for the goal-line, the Swarthmore scrappers, finding no other way to score, set out to tally by sheer line-plunging. Wilcox, after the last Tiger score, received the kick-ofif and ran to the 48-yard mark before being pushed out of bounds. He then started an offensive which ended in the lone Garnet touch-down. ■ .fc . 226 Korn Nails Douglass Running Back Punt The season ended with a pair of victories, gained over Ursinus and Haver- ford. In a loosely played game, Wilcox and Evans led the Garnet to a 13-0 win over Ursinus. The CoUegeville eleven was completely outclassed in every department of the game and never threatened the Swarthmore goal. The shifty running of Evans and Wilcox enabled them to get away tor many long runs, and was a big factor in Swarthmore ' s seventeen first downs. After two weeks of rigid preparation, the Garnet combination came to the most amazing triumph of the 192S season.

And the victory was made all the sweeter by the way in which the Main Liners set out to increase their reputation. No words can depict the way which the Garnet gridmen, trailing by 13 points, unleashed the most powerful ofifense ever seen on Swarthmore Field, and so completely shattered the Haverford morale that they could score practically at will. Captain Wilcox, Eckerd, and Evans tore ofif gains that repeatedly brought the Swarthmore stand to its feet, and even brought from the Haverford rooters a gasp of appreciation. The Garnet line, led by Ward and Richards, opened great gaps in the opposition and had no trouble stemming the plucky Haverford thrusts. Beating Haver- ford by the largest score in the history of the relations of the two colleges was indeed a fitting conclusion for the 1925 f ootball season. Captain Wilcox deserves the highest praise both for his own ability and for ! 1 1 .- r H 1 . 1 i if ' ' . - 1 ■ 14 iU m 1 SHUSTER W- RD WINUE i I . ' 229 1« CR DUATE MANAGER PALMER ASST.

The 1925 team was not in any sense a one-man eleven, and while that trio stood out particularly during the season, every man played hard,, consistent football, and Swarthmore may well be proud of all the men who saw service. A large proportion ot these men will be lost through graduation, yet if inexperience does not too far handicap next year ' s squad, a successful team may be expected in 1926.

In thirteen games, the Garnet five annexed six victories. The season opened brilliantly with four straight wins, and it was not until the Army fray that the team tasted defeat. After defeating Lebanon Valley in the next game, the Garnet dropped five in a row and did not regain form until the Susque- hanna fracas. The last defeat of the season was administered by Haverford in the hardest fought battle of the year. Coach Fitts had the advantage of seven letter men around which to build a system. A wealth of material developed in the freshman class, and many avail- able junior-varsity men had returned. Coach Fitts again used the zone system of defense, and instituted a new attack. The value of the system was proved, when the team, with but little practice, downed Osteopathy under a 28-21 count. The speedy passing of the Garnet quintet enabled them to nose out the visitors in spite of faulty shooting. The team was noticeably weak in foul-shooting, not a single free throw being made throughout the fray. Captain Evans took the stellar role when he caged the first basket, and not only added several more, but played a tight defensive game as well. Price proved high scorer with four field goals. On the following night Swarthmore defeated Drexel by a score of 34-13. Coach Fitts started the game with his second five, who handily doubled Drexel ' s BKaCL coAcn mis CAPTAIN KVA i 2,1) CAPTAIN-ELECT WARD MANAGER DUNHAM BARTLETT score before the regulars appeared. P ' ield goals by Price and Ward brought the score to 17-6 as the half ended. The second period was a repetition of the first, with the Garnet dribblers scoring almost at will. Swope stood out for Swarthrnore while he played, and made himself high scorer with four floor shots. A wealth of pluck was shown on the following Friday when the undefeated passers overcame a large lead maintained by the Delaware five. Coach Fitts again started his second five but sent in the regulars after Delaware had secured a 6-3 advantage. The new combination had trouble in getting under way, and the half ended with the 18-9 score favoring Delaware. The consistent guarding of Evans and Winde, together with the passing of the Garnet forwards, enabled the Swarthmore five to emerge victorious. Captain Evans, in addition to being a factor in holding the home team to a single field-goal in the second period, scored the points which won the game. After Bartlett had tallied, Evans made good on a foul-goal as the game ended with Swarthmore in the lead 24-20. Ursinus next fell victim to the Garnet ' s steady attack. The game, played at home, scarcely rivaled the preceding fray in thrills yet it was hotly contested throughout, and Swarthmore was pushed hard to secure a 24-18 win. Richards proved the star of the game, adding twelve points to the Garnet count. The Army game terminated the winning streak of the Quaker dribblers. After Winde drew first blood with a long field-goal, the cadet five unleashed a dazzling offense which left Swarthmore powerless. Plucky fighting could not stem the Army attack and the fray ended 35-16. After a victory over the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in a practice game, Swarthmore downed Lebanon Valley after one of the closest battles of the season. Until the last few seconds the outcome was doubtful, and it was only Ward ' s goal in the last that gave the Garnet a 29-27 victory. McGuire and Baum displayed the best brand of basketball, and were responsible for the advantage held by the home team. Following the Lebanon Valley contest a mid-season slump developed which allowed Swarthmore to drop five games in a row. The teams played were all of the highest calibre and outclassed Swarthmore in almost every respect. On is 234 a New York trip, Rensselaer and Union handed out defeats of 37-26, and 35-19. Although Captain Evans set the pace with two field goals in rapid succession, Rensselaer had little trouble in overcoming the. lead and winning out. Union ' s victory was even more decisive, and was registered in spite of the clever work of Garber and Coles, freshman guards. The deadly eye of Makofski was largely responsible for the Union count. With Captain Evans on the sidelines with an injured side, Eordham and Penn administered defeats. The former staged a first period spurt which gave them a lead greater than Swarthmore could overcome. Ward played a fast passing game and was instrumental in keeping Fordham ' s score down in the second half. The Penn tilt, played at Weightman Hall, proved another hard battle, and it was only the lack of confidence and experience on Swarthmore ' s part which lost the game. The work of Coles stood out in the first half, while the entire Garnet team came through in the second frame and held Penn to a 7-7 score. The Little Quaker dribblers divided the next two games, losing to Lehigh and defeating Susquehanna. Lehigh, after leading 18-14 at the half, had trouble in finding the basket and barely managed to annex a 34-28 victory. Garber and Richards led the Garnet attack in the last half and threatened repeatedly to put Swarthmore ahead. In the Susquehanna game the Swarthmore five set out to revenge the line of defeats. The result was a decisive victory, with a 59-32 count. While the guards had little trouble holding down the Susquehanna forwards, Richards and Coles scored repeatedly. Garber also came up the floor often enough to make him high scorer for the evening. The final game of the long season proved disastrous, for Haverford defeated the Garnet for the first time in history. A commanding lead, registered in the first period, enabled the Red and Black to pull out ahead. Captain Garrett, of Haverford, proved his mettle by scoring the first seven points for the home team, and adding seven more in the remainder of the fray. Evans excelled for the Garnet, but his accurate shooting and heady floorwork proved of little avail. This last defeat prevented the team from achieving an even break for the year ' s schedule. o  • ' ♦ ' l, RICHARDS 235 w 1 Altogether, the 1925-26 basketball season was somewhat disappointing. While a fair record was made, it seemed that with seven letter men back, a more successful season might have been expected. However, Coach Fitts has now been able to perfect his system of play, and it is safe to predict an even more irhproved team next year. With Ward as Captain and Baum, Richards, and Winde all back, a clever combination should be found. January 8. January 9. January IS. January 16. January 20. February 6. February 12. February 13.

A team that loses three straight games at the beginning of the year, and then comes back with a mighty spurt to win nine out of the remaining thirteen is truly great. That was the record of the plucky Garnet nine lead by hard-hitting Captain Hayes. The season was colorful because of the orgy of hitting, air-tight pitching and individual performances. Almost every game was featured with home runs, daring base running, and sparkling plays. Coach Swigler, a former Penn twirler, with such regulars as Captain Hayes, Bartlett, Shane, Lippincott, Neely, Ogden, and Fix, and such promising second-string men as Feeser, Richards, Petrikin, Ward, and Baum, was able to whip together a formidable aggregation for the first game of the season. The strong Temple team humbled the Garnet in this first game by a 10-3 score. The visitors soon acquired a lead which they never relinquished, but before the game was over the home team was displaying streaks of brilliancy ■ A IN HAYES I UL COACH SWIGLER 239 ' ' 3!cr f ' : f4v iiL CAPTAIN-ELECT OCDEN MANAGER KEARE t. ,! which became regular as the season progressed. Petrikin, a Freshman, crashed through with a long home run, and, in fact, all of the team hit the ball hard, but mostly when hits were ineffective. Ihe second game, with the fast playing Army combination, found the Garnet team much improved but not quite able to win. The contest was closely fought with the outcome in doubt until the last inning. The final result then showed Swarthmore on the short end of a 5-4 score. Penn furnished the third setback for Swarthmore, when the Garnet jour- neyed to Franklin Field to taste defeat. This game found the Little Quakers almost due for a victory. Lippincott started the ball rolling for Swarthmore in more ways than one by driving in the first run and later by knocking out a long home run over the center fielder ' s head. The final score, however, was 7-4, with our team again at the short end. The fourth game of the season found the home team at the peak of its game, and Delaware was the opponent to suffer at the hands of the Garnet. Heavy slugging and air-tight pitching on Swarthmore ' s part made the result one sided, and with only two hits to their credit the visitors were submerged by a 11-0 score. Next on the schedule were games with Dickinson and Drexel which had to be called off because of inclement weather. As neither of these colleges had open dates, postponement was impossible. After a long lay-off, the Swarthmore team showed itself to be ofi form in her next game, with P. M. C. Although loosely played, the game was full of thrills and heavy hitting. At the end of the ninth inning the score was dead- locked, but P. M. C. came through with runs in the fourteenth inning to win the game 8-6. Then Swarthmore started a mid-season spurt, beginning with Franklin and Marshall, and won four straight games before the streak was broken. The i ' ! 240 HALCrON i 1927 ■ TO Garnet handily defeated Franklin and Marshall at Swarthniore 7-4, and again exhibited a high grade of ball with much improvement over early season form. As a result, Rutgers and Susquehanna were. also downed during the fcjllow- ing week. Rutgers was defeated at New Brunswick 4-1, Bartlett being in sui)erb form and holding their hard-hitting batters at bay throughout the contest. The Susquehanna tilt was no less spectacular and was featured with two home runs in one inning, which aided in making the result a 7-3 victory for the Little Quakers. The fourth triumph was scored over the undefeated Muhlenburg nine. Bartlett won his own game by driving in the Garnet ' s only runs with a single, the game ending 2-1. The next two games were respectively lost and won. New York University took Swarthmore into camp after a free-for-all batting spree which ended 15-6. Perfect pitching and hard hitting then downed the strong Wesleyan nine, 6-5. In the following two games, Swarthmore again divided the spoils of con- quest. Although at Annapolis each team garnered the same number of hits, the midshipmen bunched theirs to win a 3-1 victory. Ursinus met the Swarthmore nine when it was in top form and was easily defeated 8-2. Haverford, the Garnet ' s traditional rival, staged a comeback in our annual game, but was finally forced to accept a 5-4 defeat. This encounter was most spectacular; although outhit, the Garnet was indomitable, playing a fine brand of ball. The last game away was played at Princeton in a downpour of rain. As a result the pitchers were wild, and hit seven batters. Princeton won to the tune of 13-9. The Alumni tried hard to defeat the Garnet in her next encounter, but failed in a game featured by six home runs. The struggle ended in the seventh inning with the Varsity victorious 12-10. ii-. : } M 241 ■t:? ' The season was one of Swarthmore ' s hardest yet most successful con- sidering the opposition encountered. With only two varsity men graduating, Swarthmore can well look forward to that of 1926, for in addition to the letter men, Evans, Ward, Baum, Petrikin, Feeser, and McCook saw action and will furnish good reserve material.

Yet no one could possibly have hoped for such a squad as Swarthmore amassed; a team which ran roughshod over every opponent, a team which hung up a new record in the one-mile event at the Penn Relays, a team which emerged victorious over a gritty set of competitors in the Middle Atlantics. The 1925 track team was, without exception, the mightiest aggregation of athletes that Swarthmore has yet placed on the field. It deserves the most superlative language that we can give, — for it gave the most superlative per- formance that Swarthmore has ever been able to produce. The first meet came on April 18, and was staged with Lehigh. Swarthmore showed surprising strength and, taking nine first places to Lehigh ' s four, piled up seventy points while Lehigh took only fifty-three. Jack Dutton, the freshman flash, led the Garnet scoring by annexing three first places; the broad-jump and the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Baker, another freshman, heaved the discus 127 feet 1 inch, and broke the college record. Guttormsen gave a stellar per- formance by winging the javelin 168 feet 11 inches. Rumble ran a brilliant race CAPTAIN HEMMERLY W -: , .:|E3fcr- ., COACH MERCtK CAPTAIN-ELECT LEWIS MANAGER BL ' RR 245 Championship Relay Team in the quarter-mile wlien he nosed out Cox, and Lewis had Httle trouble scamper- ing off with the two-mile event. The next triumph came when the relay team established a record of 3 minutes 28 4-5 seconds for the mile relay in Class B of the Penn Relay Carnival. Maxwell, Captain Hemmerly, Dutton and Rumble, the quartet on the team, won a bronze plaque for the college, and each was presented with a gold watch, in recognition of his great work. Lewis and Baker participated in the two-mile run and the discus, respectively, and each took sixth place, the former clipping 11 3-5 seconds from the college record. In the next meet, Delaware was severely trounced by an 81-43 score. In spite of a wet, slow track, Swarthmore performed admirably and merited ten first places. Captain Hemmerly took the verdict in the half-mile event, and Lou Clothier sprang a surprise when he galloped off with the two-mile run. Ned Wilcox brought a first in the shot-put, while Plowman tied for first in the pole- vault as he had done in the Lehigh meet. Dutton again annexed fifteen points by three hard-won firsts. Baker made it a habit by again breaking the discus record, this time with a throw of 132 feet 6 V inches. In the Johns Hopkins meet, Swarthmore avenged three straight defeats in i Cl-OTHIER 246 previous years by a 71-53 triumph. Lewis starred for the (larnet when he smashed his own record in the mile with the fast time of 4 minutes 30 4-5 seconds. Not content with that, he led the field by three yards for a first in the two-mile run. Norton came through when he nosed out Conning in the 12()-yard high hurdles. The latter, however, staged a comeback and defeated linger in the 220 low hurdles. The outcome of the meet was in grave doubt until Guttormsen, Price, Wilcox and Baker clinched matters with four of five firsts in the field events. Haverford ' s plucky team was the next to fall before Swarthmore ' s irresist- ible aggregation. The Garnet, by its 72-53 win, was the first team to down Haverford in three years. Two records fell; the first when Baker heaved the discus 139 feet 10 2 inches, and the second when Price hung up a new Freshman record in the high-jump with a leap of 5 feet 9 inches. Dutton won his usual three first places, and Lewis again annexed the mile and two-mile events. Swarthmore showed particular strength in these two grinds, winning all three places in both. The next week, the Garfiet amassed forty-one points to win the Middle Atlantics. Baker carried ofi first honors by hurling the discus to a new M. A. L C. A. A. record of 136 feet 10 1-8 inches. Lewis successfully defended his title when he won the two-mile run by over 100 yards. The majority of Swarthmore ' s points, however, were made through five second places. Captain Hemmerly ran to a second in the half-mile event, while Maxwell in the mile, Norton in the high-hurdles, Guttormsen in the javelin, and Wilcox in the shot, all achieved second place. Finally, came the IntercoUegiates, where two Swarthmore men were entered. Baker, the discus-throwing freshman, was unable to participate due to the one- year rule. Guttormsen, in the javelin, took seventh place and broke the college record with his heave of 172 feet 101 2 inches. Lewis, entered in a field which included the best distance men in the country, won tenth place in the two-mile grind. With the IntercoUegiates, Swarthmore ' s most successful track season came to a close. Captain Hemmerly deserves great credit for his leadership and his III GUTTORMSEN PLOWM.- N 247 1; jgl ,t ::Vf ! , 7 Ik consistent scoring. His loss will be felt keenly next year, but with Lewis at the helm, another successful season seems inevitable. Graduation will hamper the team but little, as many of the stars are underclassmen. So it is with increased assurance that we predict an unusually brilliant year for the 1926 track team.

The results of the schedule, showing only two victories, do not tell the whole story. The team, although one of the hardest fighting aggregations in several years, did not find itself until the next to the last game when it got under way in true form and swamped Penn 10-2. This victory over our ancient rivals was the third in three years and gave the team the needed confidence to down the strong New York University twelve to the tune of 9-3. In both of these games, the attack showed that it really was as powerful as had been expected, scoring more goals in these two games than in the whole rest of the season. After several weeks of hard training, a practice game was played with the Philadelphia Lacrosse Club, in which the Garnet showed potential strength and signs of a promising future. The old-timers were defeated 4-2. The next week the team went to West Point and, although the men gave all they had, the Army outplayed them in a fast game 6-1, Test scoring for Swarthmore. ■ , CAPTAIN GOMAN COM.ll 1 IlWIS CAPTAIN-ELECT HOWARD MANAGER STRANG 251 r ■ ' liftiiii iifH | ' r TI Maryland ' s invasion was undoubtedly an easy victory for the Southern Champions. Our men fought determinedly all through the game, but succeeded in getting only one tally through the net, Ford being responsible for the shot. Maryland scored five times in each half. Stevens nosed out the Garnet the next week 5 4. With only three minutes to go, we held the lead 4-2, Korn having scored two points, and Test and Palmer each one. A slight let-down in our defense gave the Engineers an op- portunity to put in three goals in rapid succession before the Garnet could brace again. The next game, with Lehigh, was a very unsatisfactory battle. The visitors, playing a rough game, succeeded in pushing through seven goals, while we had to be satisfied with one by Kane. With Johns Hopkins and Rutgers, the team began to find itself and, al- though both games were lost, the attack began o work together better, scoring three times in each game. Our opponents hung up seven and six goals respectively. Ford, Test, Kane, Korn, Ogden, and Rickards each shot one goal in these two games. The turning point came when the University of Pennsylvania visited our front campus. The first half found the score 2-2, the whole team having shown a better brand of lacrosse than at any time this year. The second half was even more lively than the first. Eight times by perfect passing and clever turn- ing, the Garnet attack shot the ball past the Penn goal-tender. Never in the whole period was our goal in danger, and our attack literally ran circles around Penn ' s defense. The final game, with New York University, was another easy victory. The contest of the week before gave our team the needed confidence and it 252 3 -- romped away 9-3. Test, Korn and Rickards stood out on the attack, scoring seven goals, while Lang at third defense came down and added two more. The work of certain members of the team was especially noteworthy. Test stood out again this year as the leader on the attack with Korn an able running mate. DeGroot ' s work at goal was exceptionally good, and the work of Captain Gorman, Captain-elect Howard, McFeely and Lang was consistent and de- pendable on the defense, throughout the season. 253 ni ROEHNLINE ROBERTS RESULTS OF THE SCHEDULE Swarthmore Opponents April 18.

In the league, every game was won with the exception. of a tie with Lafay- ette. The team suffered defeat from the Haverford Varsity and the Army in two sloppy matches, but blanked the Navy 2-0 in a rough and tumble scrimmage at Annapolis. The work of the defense was the outstanding feature of the team through- out the season. Alter the first two games our opponents succeeded in scoring only three times, and the ball was kept consistently in their territory through- out all five games. Captain-elect Lippincott, Price and Cates formed an almost impregnable trio in the backfield which put to rout practically every thrust at the goal. Although the line was unsuccessful in running up high scores, their drive was suflficient to net us points whenever necessity demanded it. Captain Bartlett, Graham and Neely were dependable forwards all season and were instrumental in most of the scoring. Five Swarthmore men were selected for the mythical All-State team, Bartlett, Price, Neely, Moore and Cates. Chan and Graham made the second team. This in itself is sufficient tribute to the calibre of our Championship team. October 10. October 17. October 23. October 31. November 4. November 11. November 19.

Illness, however, caused several of the most dependable swimmers to be absent from the line-up on three different occasions. The fastest star of the season was Eiche, who consistently led the field in the 50-and 100-yard events, gathering a total of forty-four points. He also lowered the college record for one hundred yards by one and one-fifth seconds. The diving was ably cared for by Thompson and Norton who alternated for first honors in seven of the nine meets. Together they scored a total of over fifty points. The loss of Coale in the breast stroke was not so serious as was expected, Lindahl and Nickles filling in the gap. The former upheld Coale ' s reputation with three first places and a total of twenty-eight points. This season marked the abolition of the plunge and the beginning of the 440- yard free style event. Mitchell, a freshman, and Gillette took care of this event and were a decided help to their teammates throughout the season. Mitchell took three first places, his best time being six minutes thirty-two and two-fifths seconds. Probably the most exciting meet of the season was the one with Johns Hopkins, which was not decided until the final event. Two records fell in this meet, Swanson breaking the Hopkins record in the 200-yard breast and Mitchell bettering his own record in the 440-yard event. As eight of the ten letter men from this year ' s team will return, we can expect a decided improvement in the results of next year ' s season.

With able coaching by Charles R. Bagley, the team succeeded in winning six out of ten matches played, crowning the season by scoring a sensational victory in the Middle Atlantics which were held on the Wharton Courts, and thereby bringing to Swarthmore the cup that was formerly held by Lehigh. Swarthmore ' s two aces, Seymour and Dudley, entered the finals, and in one of the most thrilling exhibitions seen here in recent years the former defeated the latter5-7, 5-7, 6-3, 8-6, 6-2. The season opened with an easy win over Pennsylvania Military Academy 5-1, not all the varsity being in the line-up. The next week-end the team took a trip southward, and received an even break, winning a brilliant 7-0 victory over George Washington, and losing a thriller to Navy 3-4; the loss of both doubles was a serious blow in the latter contest, but the exceptionally good playing of Gordon Hodge and Van Hart was very encouraging. After the cancellation of the Osteopathy and Syracuse matches due to rain, Swarthmore met defeat at the hands of Cornell 1-4, the inexperience of the team on indoor courts being a dominant cause of this reverse. The following week-end, however, brought a return to form and the consequent 5-1 defeat of Rutgers. Then Haverford was beaten 6-1 in a match that was hotly contested, notwith- standing the one-sided score. After winning a close match from Lehigh 4-3, and tripping North Carolina 6-1, the Garnet put up an unworthy exhibition against Penn, going down before the fierce onslaught of the Red and Blue 2-5. Following its glorious showing in the Middle Atlantics, the team suffered a slump and lost a loosely played match to F. and M. 3-4, this ending the season, as a match with Dickinson was cancelled.

Keen rivalry for team positions kept the players in top form which undoubtedly in part accounts for the fine results of the season. A glance at the completed schedule shows four victories for the Garnet girls, one tie and one defeat, with twenty-seven points scored against their opponents ' seven. In the first game of the season. Captain Roberts and her team-mates de- feated the Ursinus eleven, 3-0. Elizabeth Vaughan, the swift wing, and Mary Walton, a promising freshman, tallied the goals. Despite lack of practice, the winners showed considerable offensive and defensive power. CAPTAIN ROBERTS COACH LANNING CAPTAIN-ELECT PERCV 267 MANAGER HOSKINSON The Garnet dribblers played their second game with the Swarthmore Club, which is composed chiefly of alumnae, Swarthmore College varsity veterans, captained by Eleanor Foote. The Club was handicapped by the lack of regular players, and the game resulted 11-0, an overwhelming victory for the Little Quakers. This year, the second time in five years, the home team beat Temple in hockey, despite the efforts of Soup Krusen and May Parry, former Swarth- more stars. The final score was 4-3, all of the Garnet goals having been made in the first half. The game was characterized by the great fighting spirit of both teams. In a second game with Temple later in the season both teams put up 268 an even greater fight. The score this time, however, was nfjt so favorable to the Garnet eleven, being a 1-1 tie. Swarthmore ' s hardest game was played with Bryn Mawr College on foreign territory, and resulted in a 3-0 victory for the Main Line girls. In the second half Swarthmore kept the ball almost continually within her opponent ' s half of the field, and the band of eds and co-eds who saw the game was justly proud of the plucky Garnet eleven. In the last game of the season the home team made up for the Bryn Mawr defeat by romping away with an 8-0 victory over Penn. At no time was there any doubt of the superiority of the Garnet a nd it was a fitting ending to a highly satisfactory season. Captain Lydia Roberts, Virginia Brown, Florence Kennedy, Ruth Gourley, and Carolyn Paxson have played their last games for Swarthmore, and the team will feel greatly the loss of their steady work next year. However, with Captain-elect Percy, Virginia Melick, and the fine material from the sophomore and freshman classes, there are encouraging signs for a most successful season. M.

The first three games started the season ofi with a bang, Drexel, the West Philadelphia Club, and Ursinus proving to be teams easily defeated as seen by the scores of 67-16, 65-19, and 71-25 respectively. At the Bryn Mawr game, played on the opponents ' floor, the Swarthmore sextet met much heavier and stronger resistance than in any of the former games. But by keeping to their usual record of shooting and passing, the Swarth- more girls were able to down the Main Liners 31-13. Thfe Germantown Colleg- iate Club, which had been such a strong opponent last year, was easily defeated by the high score of 41-14. George Washington came up to Swarthmore this year to try their luck against the team that piled up a score which defeated them on their own floor in 1925. But in spite of their determination, which was shown in their plucky fight during the whole game, Swarthmore again came out the winners with the final score at 54-26. The last two games were thorough tests of Swarthmore ' s ability. The team cheerfully and confidently travelled to Brooklyn where Adelphi gave them such CAPTAIN BROWN COACH LANNING CAPTAIN-ELECT JENKINSON MANAGER PACE 273 strong opposition that for a while, during the latter part of the game, the out- come looked very doubtful for the visiting team. However, the final whistle blew in the midst of a swift and hard contest, leaving Swarthmore in the lead 33-29. The final game, played on the home floor, was a speedy one which brought out all the pep that Swarthmore could muster. Both teams were on their toes from the very beginning and it was only by getting into it and sticking to it that Swarthmore ended its last game of a thus far successful season, leading by 14 points. The whole team and substitutes deserve equal credit for making the season one continual victory after another without a single defeat. Two girls won their Varsity sweaters for the first time, this season; namely, Charlotte Salmon, a sophomore, and Eleanor Hayes, a freshman. The one regret the squad feels is the loss of the 1926 Captain, Virginia Brown, and Lydia Roberts, the speedy side center. Between Ginny ' s shooting and Tid ' s passing and teamwork the Swarthmore squad is losing two valuable players. RESULTS OF SCHEDULE Swarthmore Opponents January 15.

We have dared hope that our book may help to revive for you who have been here any length of time, pleasant memories of your stay, and to present for those of you who have not been here so long, pictures and impressions of the brighter side of our college. We give you glimpses into Parrish, Worth, and Wharton life as well as many other views of Swarth- more. We have avoided as much as possible anything personal lest it might offend. We have sought to portray as many of our celebrities as we could in the space allotted us, and especially to catch them in unguarded moments. If perhaps you have avoided our all-perceiving eye, it is your good luck and our misfortune, but rest assured your time will come next year. We have invoked the Muses to aid us in our task, and should our efforts fail to please, the blame must fall on them and not on us poor mortals who have but obeyed their will. The Feature Editors NEWS ITEM Swarthmore College, February 19, 1926 An event of major importance took place here last evening when a total eclipse of the electric- light system occured. Mr. Pittenger, when first interviewed, declared that he was at a loss to account for the phenomenon since there had been no previous indications of any such thing happening. However, after careful study of the circumstances, he has about arrived at the conclusion that it was probably a result of the shock caused by the planet Lukens, crossing the Ogden line (that ' s between the hall and the dining-room) at 7.29. This is a situation that cannot be determined beforehand by the scientists becaus e no one has been able to calculate the forces governing the actions of this body. For weeks, months, and even years, Lukens will consistently, every evening, cross the line between 7.35 and 7 AS; then, without warning, it will one evening vary its course and cross between 7.25 and 7.30. rhe progress of the eclipse was most interesting to note. It was first observed in Parrish Hall 2°3 ' 4 E. and W. where it was total from 7.43 to 7.45. In the dining-room, simultaneously with the darkness, came a great noise lasting until the appearance of faint glimmers, thought to be from some of the minor constellations of the safety-match group. In about two minutes these were augmented by illumination from stellar-like bodies known as candles and the air was seen to be filled with white floating objects of a doughy nature. From 7.00 until 7.30 the central Hall of Parrish was lighted by the planets Sharpies, Walters, and Brewster, which revolved and travelled from East to West and West to East. During this time a great clanging as of a bell was heard at two different times. Finally at S.50 the eclipse came to a sudden end and normal conditions returned. Great interest was evinced by the student body during this remarkable period. From the vantage point of various doorways, couples watched the movements of the various planets — especially the receding and approaching of Walters and Brewster.

A FTER dinner one evening, when the boys had watched the revue of pulchritude glide out of the dining hall, Walt , the musical one, loosened up the piano in the parlor across the way. Those who didn ' t care to fuss filed into this parlor to lounge. Sitting around in a sleepy atti- tude they asked Walt to play The Lost Chord. As usual, Miss Lukens the alert one came out of the dining hall last. She came to the parlor door and viewed the monotony. Bursting into the room she blustered What ' s the matter with you boys. ' If you don ' t want to fuss why not liven it up a bit here? Come on ' Walt ' let ' s hear that new foot charmer. What ' s it now? Oh yes, ' Show Me The Way To Go Home. ' Walt plays furiously. Oh, Wiggling Willy, that ' s the Cobra , she exclaims gingerly. The piece is finished. Oh don ' t stop, she pleads. Play my old favorite ' Charleston. ' Walt responds on the keys. She digs into the carpet reeling off a dozen or more Charleston steps. Then she begs Come on, Pete, don ' t be bashful. Surely Clack, you and Best can raise a little dust. She can ' t get a rise out of the bunch. With a face flushed from dancing she withdraws from the stagnation to encourage the fussers to hold up the walls. 276 J) ' M the whole o - family ■pR ( FRESH ., AIR- n PICTURB5 ' ' ■ GCff- l1 T; B ury. a r- fe 277 Tr The Fmts To captain every College team, Is Kappa Sigma ' s Fondest dream.

Howevere I found a paper now that prints everything from Doc Hayes ' poetry to babies ' bibs. Its a book put out by the sophomores under the auspices of the Junior class, and it ' s called the FFalcyon. The Halcyon is sort of a resume of the hole year. It starts out with a dedication to some- body who the staff thinks is uncertain whether he ' ll buy a copy or not. Next comes a number of college seens with poems underneath to tell you what they are meant to be. Then there is some pictures and dope on the faculty which the staff has to print to have the Halcyon pass the sensers. Following this there is a section which is about the classes. The seniors of coarse comes first. They have a list of there activities in there four or five years carreer at college such as: Hockey Squad (II, III); Y.M.C.A. Club (III), President (IV); Book and Key (II); and etc. They also have some original quotation about them taken from Fourty-thousand Sublime and Butiful Thoughts, like: Silence is Golden, or Over the Hills and Far Away. We now turn to the junior section which consists of individual pictures of the class with a right-up underneath with a characteristic pose underneath. The right-ups consist mainly of spite-work by class mates and are screamingly funny. They run something like this: Jack hails from Schenectady, and is an active man on the campus. He has a weakness for the fair sex and we have heard something about a little blond back home. But that would be telling. But Boog (as his friends call him) is one of the best liked fellows on the campus and his cheery smile is never seen without him. We need hardly mention the next two classes as there names only is printed. Then comes the fraternities which each has a picture with the best looking brothers in the front row. A number of societies such as the campus club and Book and Key follows, and then comes all the athletic right-ups. These are very stirring and are calculated to make an alumnae recall the time the Penn fullback walked on his face or the time he threw the Haverford left tackle over the goal posts. Last but not leased comes the famous nonsence section. That is where this is. It is a section of cracks about honor students and old gags from college humor. Some of the jokes are quiet clever but the circulation is beginning to catch on to them. Then the staff will have to buy another issue of College Humor. Well, governore, this is all the space I can use. Maybe it wont get in at all, so if you dont see it just drop me a line and I ' ll send it to you. Best wishes for a happy ground-hogs day, Unklonshus. P.S. Of coarse this Is only a specimen and is not accurate cause a girl couldnt be on the Y.M.C.A. Club or if she was a boy he couldn ' t be on the Hockey Squad. u. J 281 Ima Freshman ShoAvs ' Em Around This thing we ' re standing on is called the AsphaltLim. The name conies from Latin and nobody knows what it means except Amy and Barney and they won ' t tell. To your right is the Library where the upperclassmen can go and eat their candy, and where Mr. Hayes writes his famous poems. These are Thomas Best ' s steps, nained after him ' cause he was the guy they measured them by. This is Parrish Hall, and inside is where Collection is, and the Post Office is, and some of the girls. This is the Girls ' Gym, and from here you can see West House and Worth Hall. Worth is a lot of gables built around a bunch of trick fussing alcoves. Some of the most athletic women live there in order to be near the tennis courts. The Dean of Women and her cats live in West House. I don ' t know why they call it that, as it ought to be called East House. Over there is the Meeting House and Whittier House. They had a reception for the fresh- men but I didn ' t go, because I saw one Sophomore wink at another and say there wasn ' t another party like that all year and as I promised I wouldn ' t go to no wild parties I decided not to go. Over there is the Science and Chemistry Buildings and Hicks Hall. I haven ' t found out yet what they ' re for as I only have three classes and two hours Lab over there. And here ' s our Stadium — the finest in the East. Those benches along the side are for the Co-eds to jump up and down on. Sproul Observatory. ' ' Why man, in here we got the biggest sheets of black paper on which are the pictures of the biggest and largest eclipse Sumatra ever had. See them little frat lodges down there. Them ' s where the men spend their leisure time — they ' re always there. And here ' s where I live — Wharton Hall. This is the Quad. They use it for midnight parties for the freshmen quite often. Sometimes a few sophomores come around too. Gee, but I say, ain ' t it a grand ole college tho. Thoughts During Collection Silence Prexy — How long can I keep them reverent. ' ' Ike Battin — Is there enought shine on my Phi Bet key? Marjie Onderdonk — Is there enough shine on my Phi Psi pin? Fraternity Girl — Hope I can get her for lunch. Harold Berry — Gosh, I dropped a nickel with that handful of pennies! John William — I don ' t like the sound of this silence. Ted Jenkins — Baltimore is many miles away! J. M. D. the 3rd — Will it be more impressive if I arrive in the mi,ddle of class or at the end? Doc Pickett — About a girl? To think I ' d ever be so sil! Betsy Clack — I am my brother ' s keeper. Jack Shoemaker — She loves me, she loves me not. Phi Delts — Will the freshmen initiation fees pay for the lodge? Student Government Official — I must be true, for there are some who trust me. Miss Bronk — Faith, Hope and Charity. And the greatest of these is charity. Collection Speaker — So help me, God! 282 We introduce to you Swarthmore ' s famous undefeated Basketball Team, that starred in the dim dark ages, of the early 1900 ' s. The personnel of this team is especially illustrious because of its members ' relationship to many of Swarthmore ' s outstanding characters of today. Behold before your very eyes Clara Price Newport, Eggie Booth ' s cousin, Sal Percy ' s Ma, and Betsy Palmenberg ' s Ma. We ask you to pick them at your leisure, and trust that as you look at them, you Swarthmore students, you will not despair, but fight yourselves for bigger and better athletes at Swarthmore. Spring Fever I must go down to the Crum again, to the wooded Crum and the sky. And all I ask is a pretty girl and a hand to lead her by. And a sunset and Pip barking and woodpeckers pecking. And an old log to sit upon and plenty of time for necking. I must go down to the Crum again, for the call of the twilight bell Will not come till quarter of eight: till then all is well. And all I ask is a good view of the flowing purple river. With tin cans and old barrels and parts of a worn-out flivver. I must go down to the Crum again, to the fussers ' paradise, For the outlook from the Alligator is really very nice. And all I ask is a heavy line, with kidding neatly blended. And a long clinch and a sweet kiss when social hour ' s ended. 283 Society ' s Doings These letters were picked rather at random from the correspondence of one of Swarthmore ' s elite 600 and a prominent Society matron, who along with the rest of the fashionable world divides her time between America ' s and Europe ' s most interestmg cities. It is printed with the permission of both, and with all due apologies to Jane Wister, Nancy Wynn, and the many others who write this kind of bunk. ' ,{ ' THE RETREAT 11 Swarthmore-on-the-Crum II Pennsylvania p ' ' My very dear Friend: I; [ Swarthmore has found itself extremely busy welcoming the many newcomers and those ' , ' 1 who find its environs such a pleasant and charming place to spend the dull winter months. fj I Each day the Swarthmore Limited brings in the hosts of interesting people, who are returning [j; from their summers spent abroad, at Newport, Bar Harbor, Southampton, or in the west. fj A series of gorgeous receptions have been given for the newcomers and there seem to be prospects n ' for an unusually gay winter. Parrish Hall, Worth, and stately Wharton have found most of P ' their last year ' s patrons back, and a great many of their friends. y Woolman House, the new hostelry on Walnut Lane, has opened with a series of charming ' teas in honor of Dr. John W. Graham, of High Court, London, S. W., who is sojourning in this country for the winter. The very charming hostesses in Wharton, Worth, Parrish, and West House, have been entertaining almost daily. You doubtlessly have heard your revered Grand- mother speak of Miss Lukens; well, my dear, her dinner parties have been unusually gay. She is such a perfect hostess! ; ' The football games and soccer contests show promise of being exceptionally brilliant this } ' ! season, and the invitations for impromptu luncheons, tea dances, dinners, and entertainments 1 : of all sorts have been extremely numerous. I wish that you might be here. Why don ' t you ; put in a reservation for next year. ' ' I know you would find manv fascinating friends here, w-hose names read like the pages from the Social Register. Do write. Your ' s until another letter, R. S. V. P. Saturday, September thirty-first. THE RETREAT Swarthmore-on-the-Crum Pennsylvania Dearest Friend: I did enjoy your letter telling of the gaiety by which you have been surrounded m the South, and during your brief stay at Lake Placid. I have felt myself severely tempted to sneak away for a short rest in the comparative quiet of Palm Beach, but have found Swarthmore much too alluring to leave. We have had our share of winter sports too, but the deep snow has not in any way seemed to quell the exceeding gaiety of the place. I did get a bit of rest when I went to New York over Christmas, and I must say I felt a bit spoiled as I looked rather with disdain at the so- called brilliant coming out parties of that city. One of the most charming affairs of the winter occurred a week or so ago, when the annual Christmas Dance was held. It was a very exclusive affair, and many people who found that they could not get reservations for the dinner at Parrish Hall, turned to the ever charming supper clubs, in Swarthmore, which are so- numerous. The Grea sy Spoon , Crummy Inn , Tinglenook , and School Gate all attracted great crowds and were especially popular among the younger set. The gowns worn were perfectly gorgeous, Ethel Brewster ' s being espe- cially beautiful. She wore a green silk, trimmed with rhinestones and pearls. The next few weeks will be rather dull, because of the approaching exams, which an unusually large number are taking this year, and most of the entertaining is being done at the Honors Students Club , the members of which are free to do anything at all. Except for a few dinner parties, the Opera, and some Bridges, nothing seems to be on the program. After that, however, there will be an orgy of Pre-Lenten parties which, I know, will be exceptionally brilliant. Would it be possible for you to come down to the Pirates Club Brawl, which Billy Pittenger 284 J 1 is giving at his apartment in Wharton. He plans to hold it in his new halirf)om, which he has so cleverly doffed The Pitt . Klla Michener and a number of the younger married set are receiving with him, including the Dillwyn Parrishes, the William Picketts, the Henry McAllisters, the Rogers Palmers, the Townley Brothers and their attractive mates, the Arthur Evans, the lioni- face DeGroots, and the Harry Lundys. Do come! Yours as before, Sunday, January third. R- ! - V. P. The Retreat Swarthmore-on-the-Crum Pennsylvania My very dear Friend: I am too tired to write you much to-night I ' ve been resting all this week as tomorrow brings the brilliant Commencement Week , the climax to our much too short season. Swarthmore has indeed earned its reputation as the Playground of America , as I dare say you realized from my letters. It is truly a glorious Utopia. I leave a week from to-day for a brief stay with my sister at Tuxedo, and I sail on the twelfth on the Aquatania for South- ampton, as so many of the Swarthmoreans are doing. Until I see you again. Goodbye. I am so glad you ' ve taken West House next year. Everyone is thrilled at the thought of the change. Yours with all my love, R. S.V. P. Monday, May thirty-first. Archery 1 To Ye Good Ole Quaker College Came ye maids of all descriptions. Came ye maids with black, bobbed, short hair. Came ye maids with golden, long hair. At Ye Good Ole Quaker College. How they strove to teach ye maidens. Teach them how to find companions. How to chase ye missing dates down. How to reap where they have sown not, How to straighten and to stoop not. For this last ye Quaker maidens. Worked for hours in gymnasium. Swinging dumbells to and fro there. Swam so hard they ' d almost drown there. Then they noticed great, big muscles. Said Ah, we are fair no longer! We must do something about this. So they hastened off to Prexy, And he said, Ah, I am generous, I will find a game less strenuous . So it was that Swarthmore Co-eds Gaily shot ye quivering arrows, Sent them into vacant spaces, Sent them close to people ' s faces. Tripped so gaily down the campus. Gathering arrows from the ditches. Got their pictures in the papers. Dressed in sport clothes so bewitching, Said ' Tis fine, this playing Cupid, (Girls, why will you be so stupid. ) 4 For when practice hour was over. Each fair maid felt burning fingers. Felt the sting of cutting bolt strings. Felt the ache of many more things. Next day found them glancing round them, Just to see if others suffered, Didn ' t save a single muscle. Sighed they all at once together. Moral: Be content with what you have got, ' Stead of wanting what vou have not. 285 The Song of the Crum (No Apologies to Lindsay) Tall collegians on an autumn day, Husky sheiks, with feet unstable, Bulled and argued and pounded on the table, Pounded on the table. Howled out a yell in a bloodthirsty way. Loud as thev were able, Rah. rah. RAY. With a whole lot of pep in a bloodthirsty way, Rah-rah. rah-rah, rah-rah. RAY. Then I got the spirit, then I had a vision, I could not turn from their revel in derision. Then I saw Crum Creek winding through the black. Cutting through the woods with a purple track. Then along that riverbank A thousand miles Redcapped freshmen danced in files; Then I heard the roar of the football song And a klaxon sounding and a uke gone wrong. And Fight cried the voices of Palmer and Mercer, Fight cried the gyrating, tall cheerleaders, Get ' em with a good hard tackle. Make their blood flow And their flesh to crackle. Crackle-crackle, crackle-crackle. Bing! Rah-rah. rah-rah, rah-rah, RAY! A roaring, epic, primitive sound From the banks of the Crum For miles around. Defeat is a monster, Wild-eyed and horrible, Ghastly and terrible. Boom, play football, Boom, beat Haverford, Boom, kill the umpire. Rah, rah, rah! Listen to the yells of Haverford ' s ghost Burned in Hell by the disappointed host. Hear the Alumni groan and yell, Holding a post-mortem down in Hell. Listen to the final proclamation. Blown through Wharton to the Swarthmore nation. Blown through Parrish ' s cloistered halls. Blown through Worth with its English walls: — The Orthodox are through with the Hicksites; Never again will we play with you, Never again will we play with you! 286 !.

The day before the play was to be given the entire cast went to the Magill Outdoor Audi- torium for a dress rehearsal. Every year the Senior Play is held in this entrancing spot. Sur- rounded by all the beauties of nature free, rustic, and open — the Magill Outdoor Auditorium always adds a great deal to each and every performance given there. As the company came down the hillside the heroine stumbled down the steep descent and sprained her ankle. She sat on a bench and watched the rest start. The girl who was to take the part of the Mother began her scene in which she runs after her erring son. Just as she reached the center of the stage she screamed and disappeared. They found her beneath the stage. All agreed, upon investigation, that she had fallen through a rotten plank. The Mother joined the heroine on the bench. The hero decided to get a branch of a tree to brush off the platform so no one else would fall. Unfortunately he cut his foot on a tin can and decided to sit on the bench. The comic element ventured out next to get a broom but — just as he stepped off the stage Pittenger ' s Pirates dumped the previous week ' s ashes down. After they had fished him out the comic element sat down beside the heroine and the Mother and the hero. The coach ran up and down in front of the would-be actors and nearly swore. Suddenly he stopped talking and began on a cross between two dances — the Charleston and the Saint Vitus. The cast hobbled to his assistance. By dint of much force they managed to get him down and to extract the green caterpillars from his back. They had fallen from one of nature ' s favorites — the big tree which over-shadows the platform. Certain it is that the Magill Outdoor Auditorium, surrounded by the beauties of nature — free, rustic, and open — adds a great deal to each performance given there. Freshman Rules as They Should Be 1. Freshmen shall employ the most profound thought in deciding whether or not they shall wear cuffs on their trousers. 2. We should be glad to have freshmen sit in the front rows of seats at all public meetings in order that they may hear better; however, this is entirely up to their own discretion. 3. Every freshman may receive a regulation freshman cap from the Sophomore Class free of charge, in order to prevent overcrowding ot the infirmary during the winter months. 4. Freshmen are urged to wear bright hosiery and neckties at all times; a cheerful atmos- phere is always conducive to good work. 5. Freshmen shall keep their hands in their pockets on cold days; gloves are a useless expense. 6. The Pet and davenports in the front hall of Parrish may be found convenient by the new men when waiting for the mid-day meals. 7. Freshmen are not permitted to tip their caps to seniors or members of the Faculty; the acquirement of an inferiority complex is a thing to be dreaded as a serious hindrance to success. 8. Smoking is the chief requisite for a clubby atmosphere; cigarettes of all makes are on sale in the Cracker Room. 9. We desire freshmen to wear any prep school insignia or sweaters that they wish; any institutions that turn out such a bunch as they deserve serious consideration. 10. The freshmen ' s energy must be conserved at all costs; therefore they shall not dissipate their strength by keeping to the walks. 11. Freshmen shall do everything in their power to make co-education a success at Swarth- more by frequently escorting the college girls to athletic events, dances, and other functions. 12. The Freshman Class shall place their numerals in a position where they may be seen by all. 13. Freshmen ar e not required to carry bags for managers of any of the athletic teams or per- form any other such menial tasks — such requirements are too collegiate. 290 f,,youN(i JU5TAS LOHCjAS you HA VE ME.

Enter Dean Walters, Prexy, and four little Honors Students. Dean (briskly): Good afternoon, everybody! Sit down! Sit down! Let ' s get started promptly now. (Consults a paper) Who has — ij Catharine Rush: I do. She reads a long paper, quoting some poetry by the way. p ' Dean: Ah, yes. Speaking of poetry, take this, that I ' ve been reading to my youngster — He reaches a book from the shelf and begins to read with great expression: j; I love little Pussy, I J ; Her coat is so warm, ! ' ' And if I don ' t hurt her She ' ll do me no harm. Now you see — he continues to talk for fifteen minutes. Prexy squirms in his seat. Dot Troy looks bored but openminded, Frances Spence is occupied m lookmg beautiful, while Catharine and Edith Hull, being only juniors, do their best to appear intelligent. Enter Pax Unger, half hour late. He explains this by saying he had to write a letter. The Dean throws him a dirty look and comes back to business. ,; Dean: Well, yes. Now, who had — I Frances: I do. She reads in a dainty voice which seems likely to perish at any moment. ' Her listeners are cheered by the entrance of Barkie, who jumps into Pax ' s lap for a while and then establishes himself under Prexy ' s chair. Frances comes to an end and the Dean wakes up. . Dean: Yes, now that ' s very good. Yes, I wonder — He wonders aloud for several minutes. Prexy offers a solution, and that reminds Dot of something to say. She asks the Dean if he saw Lulu Belle when it was in Philadelphia. Prexy says enthusiastically that that is a very good show, and recommends them all to see it. Meanwhile the clock strikes two-thirty. One hour gone. Dean: Well, that ' s very interesting, but let ' s not waste too much time on that. (Con- sults paper) Who had — Pax: I do. He swallows every other word. It ' s a wonder they don ' t give him indi- gestion. The Dean takes up a book and becomes absorbed. Prexy creates some excitement by rocking on Barkie ' s tail; then Dean Walters asks Pax to read a little louder. The girls can now hear all his clever remarks, and they double up with laughter. On one point Edith disagrees with him and a violent altercation begins. She is ready to pull his hair, while he forgets that Swarthmoreans are always gentlemen and becomes a strong, vinle he-man. Dean (thrilled): Attaboy! I like you to put a little pep into these discussions. At last it is three-thirty, and the Dean hustles out to bring in the tea. Prexy immediately revives. Pax (with great decision): I must be excused! Dean: Oh, Mr. Unger, won ' t you stay for a little tea.? Do take some cakes with you, anyway. Pax grabs a handful of the best kind from the plate, stuffs them into his pockets, and jazzes off to play lacrosse. So far as he is concerned, it is the end ot a perfect seminar.

In this issue Miss Michener answers four interestmg letters sent to her by several typical Swarthniore citizens; namely a Woman Student, a Man Student, a Teacher, and the Deans. Dear Miss Michener, I am a fair Swarthmore co-ed, in the sense that I don ' t cheat, and I wonder why I don ' t get around as much as some of the other girls do. I have good clothes, a good line, belong to the best club, and rate fine in my home town. Can you help me? Unhappy. Dear Unhappy, I can understand your position entirely as I have known the conditions at Swarthmore very intimately, having been more or less connected here for the last sixty years. I would suggest that you try sitting on the Pet every evening after dinner and say hello to all the boys as they pass. If this fails to get you a fussing date, some evening just as the announcements are being made at dinner, climb up on your table and call out, Are there any gentlemen here. ' All of the men will rise immediately and come to you, as all the men at Swarthmore are gentlemen, and then say, Well, I am a lady in distress. You will find they will all flock to your side and pick out the most attractive one and say, I will tell you my troubles after dinner. Meet me in the Faculty parlor. I am confident that this will solve your problem, dear Unhappy One, Miss Ella Michener. Dear Miss Michener, This is my fifth year at Swarthmore, and all during my stay there I ' ve never been invited to a Girls ' Frat dance. When I graduate from this place I want to be a writer and write a book on Swarthmore and so I need this experience to get atmosphere. Puzzled. Dear Puzzled, Your letter brings to my mind the question as to whether a Girls ' Fraternity dance is worth attending. If by rushing one girl consistently you find you cannot even then rate a bid to her party, I suggest that you go to one ot the subscription dances at the Woman ' s Club, which Fm confident you ' d enjoy much more. I trust this suggestion will solve your problem, Miss Ella Michener. Dear Miss Michener, In all the years I ' ve been teaching here I ' ve never found a satisfactory system for marking my examinations, that is, one that will satisfy both the students and administration. For this reason I never give exams, and have been criticized unmercifully for this. What shall I do? Distracted. Dear Distracted, One of your fellow members of the Swarthmore faculty once told me of his system of marking papers, which I pass on to you. He always borrowed a pair of Barney ' s overalls and then stole some black eyebrow pencil from one of the girls. He then marked every step up to Fourth West with one of the first five letters of the alphabet. As soon as he got his papers, he climbed to the top of Parrish and threw them high into the air. Some compelling force always brought them back to earth and the papers got the mark which was on the step on which they fell. If, however, any do not land on a step mark them condition. This will help you I hope Dear Distracted. Miss Ella Michener. Dear Ella, We were both young once and as we look ovei the youths committed to our charge, we realize that we often have forbidden them to do things which we did habitually in our youth. Can you suggest anything to ease our consciences. The Deans. Dear Deans, Why not call all your students together on the first day of the college year and tell them that you have disbanded all rules at Swarthmore. Then say as well as you can in the two minutes they allow you that you put them on their honor not to do anything that you wouldn ' t do. This I know would prove most acceptable as the younger generation of today is the best and most conscientious in the history of mankind. Miss Ella Michener. 294 Diary September Tuesday, 15.

Broad Street and Germantown Avenue (above Erie Ave.) PHILADELPHIA 349 Decorative Mirrors add charm and beauty to any home. Their happy com- bination of both usefulness and adornment, explains the increasing use of them. Women have been quick to realize this, so that there is scarcely a room in the house in which they have not placed mirrors to advantage. It is important that exactly the right size, shape and style be selected for the position a mirror is to occupy. Sometimes you can find just what you desire, alreadv in stock; but to get the greatest satisfaction from a mirror it should be made up to fit your particular needs. Send for booklet showing illustrations from photographs as to how various styles of mirrors are in use in a num- ber of modern homes — in living-rooms, dining-rooms, hails, bathrooms and bedrooms. Your retail dealer will be pleased to take your order, and forward it to us for execution.
