Founded in 1875, it has ever since been a medium of reunion and renewed contact with the college for alumni of all ages and widely separated residences. At the fifty-second annual business meeting held this year at the college, a very sincere tribute was paid to Dr. Samuel C. Palmer, ' 95, retiring Graduate Manager of the Athletic Association, when Charles C. Miller of the Athletic Advisory Committee presented him with a watch as a token of appreciation for his services. New plans were also made for Alumni Day, the climax of the Association ' s year, and these were very successfully carried out in Commencement Week. The large gathering of gradu- ates old and new was held at mid-day as an Alumni Luncheon, with President Claude C. Smith, ' 14, presiding, while the special class reunions were held at night. This experiment proved especially satisfactory, since it seemed to give an opportunity for larger attendance at the reunions. Rain interfered somewhat with the outdoor features of Alumni Day, but the usual stunts and parade were held as well as possible in Collection Hall. And in spite of the unfavorable conditions, there was not an alumnus whose enthusiasm was lessened nor an alumna whose spirits were lowered. OFFICERS FOR 1927-28 President William H.

It holds 3 luncheon on the first Wednesday of each month, at which time the members are addressed by prominent speakers. Matters pertaining to the best interests of Swarth- more are considered at these meetings, and recommendations are often made to the President of the College and the Board of Managers. The Club enjoys a membership of approximately two hundred and twenty-five. This year, according to custom, the Club held the annual Swarthmore dinner at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on Saturday, February 25. Several hundred alumni from Philadelphia attended the dinner which proved a decided success. OFFICERS FOR 1927-28 President J. Archer Turner, ' 05 Vice-President Edward Bassett, ' 05 Secretary Richard Slocum, ' 22 Treasurer Guy W. Davis, ' 24 The Swarthmore Alumnae Club of Philadelphia THE Swarthmore Alumna£ Club of Philadelphia was formed in order that Swarth- more women living near Philadelphia might keep in close touch with each other and the College. Three times a year they meet to plan their activities and discuss the various college problems in which they are interested. The Club unites with the Swarth- more Women ' s Club of New York in maintaining an open scholarship for women, and also sends contributions to the Bureau of Occupations, which serves as an employ- ment bureau for college women.

The Club functions largely as a social organization. A smoker was held early this year at which several members of the Swarthmore Faculty were present and recounted the latest Swarthmore news and the plans for the future. The Club is planning another meeting this year. OFFICERS FOR 1927-28 President FREDERICK N. Price, ' 05 Vice-President William J, Bradley, ' 09 Secretary-Treasurer L. S.

It was formed ten years ago to further the interests and promote the welfare of Swarthmore College. Perhaps the most important project of the Club is the Alumnas Scholarship, to the support of which contribution is made annually. The members hold two gatherings a year, a luncheon in the Fall, and in the Spring a tea and business meeting.

Originally a club for Chicago alumni only, it now includes in its membership graduates and former students of Swarthmore College j who reside west of the Allegheny Mountains. The Club holds an annual meeting and ji banquet early in each year, and also meets occasionally at special luncheons. In 1906, j the Western Swarthmore Club Scholarship for Men was established, supported by 1 1 voluntary subscription of Club members. They were moved by a three-fold purpose: 1 (1) to stimulate interest in Swarthmore College and her ideals among residents of ;! Western states, (2) to promote the best interests of Swarthmore College by sending to her campus students of well-rounded character and ability who would carry with i them the spirit and ideals of the West, and (3) to create for the Club itself a unifying : interest and a worth-while purpose. f OFFICERS FOR 1927-28 President , Harry A.

At the last meeting, thirty-nine loyal Swarth- moreans were present. Two regular meetings are held annually, a banquet in January and a picnic in mid-summer. At these gatherings the members present informal pro- grams, designed to recall old memories and to give information concerning the recent activities of the College. All graduates or former students of Swarthmore College who are visiting in California at the time of the meetings are welcomed by the active members. OFFICERS FOR 1927-28 Preside It Fred G.

The fifty-fifth class of graduates to go from Swarthmore into the roar and hurry of the outside world — with the added distinc- tion of being the largest graduating class in college history. Class Day was June at its best, and so the exercises were held outdoors in the Magill Auditorium, with Jack Lippincott, the class president presiding. Marion Palmenberg read the class history, and Margaret Jameson the class poem. The will was read by Lydia Turner and the prophecy by George McKeag. Lois Thompson and Walter Studdiford with much tact and ingenuity presented appropriate gifts to members of the class. And then a June evening with A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, coached by Mrs. Breta Lucas, delightfully presented out-of-doors. On Alumni Day the second presentation of the play was interrupted by rain and had to be concluded in Collection where the class parades and stunts were staged. Instead of the customary evening banquet the Alumni had their dinner together at Page Thirty-six HALGrON J Wof iQzq A - ' !S-- ' ijia!fe. noon and the class reunions were held at dinner in the evening. Claude Smith, ' 14, the president of the Alumni Association presided at the luncheon. There was a college dance in the gymnasium Saturday night. The Reverend D. B. Tucker, Jr., pastor of St. Paul ' s Memorial Church of Rich- mond, Virginia, was the Baccalaureate speaker. J. Roland Pennock gave the ivy oration after the planting of the ivy by Jack Lippincott and Esther Howard, the class president and secretary. On Commencement day the Honorable Vincent Massey, the Canadian Minister to the United States, delivered the Commencement address on Values, the relation- ship of college to life. Of the one hundred and thirty-eight degrees awarded, thirty- one were to Honors students. Three advanced degrees were conferred: Benjamin W. Wasser, Master of Arts; James C. Tily, Civil Engineer; Edwin T. Morgan, Mechanical Engineer. After the announcement of several scholarships and awards the Ivy and Oak Leaf medals were presented to J. Roland Pennock and Katherine J. Snyder. With the Senior class dance Commencement Week ended. Class Day — Alumni Day — Baccalaureate Sunday — Commencement — one hundred and thirty-eight new alumni!  ?  S 4.. a Page Thirty-seven HALCYON lllWoP 1C)ZCj_ 7 Founders ' Day THE fifry-eighth annive rsary of Swarthmore College proved to be an exceptional one as it was the first clear Founders ' Day since nineteen twenty-four and also as it was the day of the laying of the corner stone of the Elizabeth Powell Bond Memorial. At eleven-thirty in the morning the women students, led by members of the faculty marched from SomerviUe Gymnasium to the quadrangle of Worth Hall where the exercises were to be held. The exercises were opened with a short silence followed by addresses from various members of the faculty. President Aydelotte reviewed the past work which had made the Bond Memorial a reality and heartily congratulated the students on the spirit of cooperation which they had displayed. Hannah Clothier Hull, ' 91, spoke in behalf of the Alumnas Association showing how the spirit of Elizabeth Bond prevailed in the hearts of Swarthmore students even today and how this monument would always preserve this spirit and pass it on to future generations. Robert Pyle, ' 97, spoke concerning the service of the new building. Margaret SomerviUe, ' 28, President of the Women ' s Student Government Association then gave a short talk on the attitude of the undergraduates, and stated that it was their task to make this new building worthy of the lofty ideals of Dean Bond. Following the speeches, Dean Blanshard filled the copper box with various memoranda of the present college and it was sealed in the stone by Anne Phillips, ' 28, President of Mortar Board. Dean Brewster closed the program with a short speech Page Thirty-eight HALCYON ■ Wop IQZQ in which she thanked the students and the different organizations for their interest and activity. In the afternoon the academic procession marched to the Magill Auditorium, where the program was opened with the customary period of silence followed by the singing of The Star Spangled Banner. Howard Cooper Johnson, ' 96, read a short passage from the Bible and Wilson M. Powell talked on the aims and accomplishments of Swarthmore College during the last few years. The principal speaker was Professor William F. G. Swann, director of the Bartol Research Foundation of the Franklin Institute. His subject was Three Centuries of Natural Philosophy in which he traced in an interesting manner the progress of natural history. Following this, the football game between Swarthmore College and Franklin and Marshall College was played. It proved an exciting game and the final score was a tie. While the game was being played the faculty entertained the alumni and friends of the college at a tea in the Parlors. The closing feature of the day was a lecture in Collection Hall by Dexter S. Kimball, Dean of the College of Engineering at Cornell University. He spoke on the content of a liberal education. f - Page Thirty-nine HALCYON ■r jof IQZQ Page Forty CLASSES laaT i| A r iti vlB A 3 JE M Page Forty-one - halcyon BP of 1QZ9 7 Page Forty-two HALCYON ■r| oJ IQZQ 7 Page Forty-three Page Forty-jour HM£MipiTpa2aJ First Semester President THOMAS MOORE Vice-President DOROTHY BROWN Secretary OLIVE DEANE Treas! rer C.

FRENCH We wonder whether, when Mary rides horseback, she admires the scenery in Eng- lish, French, Spanish, or German. We think it is French, judging from her chic appearance, and from her major and her grades. But we can ' t be sure it isn ' t any of the others, because Mary is one of the College ' s few linguists. Maybe this is her method of gaining success; she talks French to her horse to make it trot, and to her hair to make it grow into a lovely soft wave, and to her lessons to make them get A ' s for her. But to her friends Mary speaks the language of friendship, which every one of us can understand. Page Seventy-tuo HALaDN JF joj 1925) 7 DAVID J. ANDERSON Morton, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Behold DJA — the demon reporter. Nary a word of college gossip passes this young man without his censoring it for the newspapers. His time at college has been spent mainly in dashing from one event to another with his ever-present note-book and with his pencil, interviewing the notables and fecording the high and low spots for publicity purposes. DJA is also interested in the welfare of the Phoenix. And this year he ' s taking Honors work, which makes him one of Swarthmore ' s busiest men, and it is granted that behind those big glasses there is one of the hardest workers that ever came from Morton. MARY ANDERSON 2013 N. 7th St., Philadelphia. Pa. MATHEMATICS HONORS Much could be said of her! Where to start, and once begun, where to stop — aye there ' s the rub. Andy ' s into everything. And does she look loaded down with care? Well, rather not! She skips merrily along from one thing to another, sparkling as though she hadn ' t a worry in the world. But we know she must have, for she is one of those students honoring in Math, and that ' s enough to cause Secret Worries. When she isn ' t studying you can probably find her looking up properties for a Little Theatre Club play, or going to dances, or writing up articles for the Phoetjix. or — or even fuss- ing. But try and find her! Page Seventy-three HALCYON Jr jof 1QZ9 7 MILTON JOB ATKINSON 116 Buttonwood St., Mt. Holly, N. J. ENGLISH HONORS When Milt decided to forsake the banks of the Rancocas for those of the Crum, the authorities took one look at his prepossess- ing physiognomy and decided that if the better half of the student body were to con- centrate sufficiently upon their studies, Milt must be kept as far as possible from Parrish and Worth. Accordingly, he was sentenced to a term and a half at the Pest House. Here, truly, his hght seemed to be hidden under a bushel, although he and his fellow inmates never failed to make themselves seen and heard in the Quad on the party nights of the good old days when Sophomores were men and Freshmen were man-handled. But, finally, the Dean compromised and permitted Milt to finish the year with the wildmen of Woolman and the following September he attained the full status of a staid and serious Whartonite. In this new environment, his previously inhibited talents began to blossom forth in the literary field and he promptly annexed the editorship of this volume, which is (as he will modestly admit) the best Halcyon since the Asphal- tum was a bridle path. HOWARD ALISON BAKER 18 N. Rigby Ave., Lansdowne, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Howard has travelled more, both inten- sively and extensively, than most any one else around college. As a day-student, he has been accompanying the 7.38 from Lans- downe every morning since his freshman year. And last summer he went to Europe, and being a conscientious Social Science honors student, spent most of his time study- ing social conditions there at first hand. Report has it that his field was largely restricted to conditions in the Paris night clubs, but Howard has never affirmed this report himself. He is Swarthmore College ' s economic man, and as such, it is not surprising that in the past two years he has acquired so many A ' s in his chosen field of economics. It might perhaps be better to say Lansdowne ' s economic man, for now that he is an honors student as well as a day- student, we are sorry to say we don ' t see much of him any more. Page Seventy-jour HALCYON ■Fj of 1Q2Q 7 CURTIS L. BARNES 6680 Lincoln Drive, Mt. Airy, Pa. ECONOMICS In evenings spent at the library you ' ve probably seen a quiet, reserved boy off in a corner, conscientiously studying, for hours and hours. Or you ' ve seen a boy in Collec- tion, with his whole interest intently riveted on the words of the speaker. Well, it must have been two other fellows, for this is a write-up of Custy Barnes. Custy is an athlete. He holds the record of participat- ing in varsity contests of two fall sports in the same year. After the close of the 1926 football season, he went out for soccer and played in the last game. ' To look at his picture, you ' d never think that Custy was a two point student, would you? Well, you ' re mistaken, for he is; the only unorthodoxy of the situation being that he is getting his two point on the install- ment plan instead of all at once. IRA WINSLOW BARNES 6680 Lincoln Drive, Mt. Airy, Pa. ECONOMICS AH right, I ' ve got to go now and get on the books. I ' ll see you later. With these words Ira leaves first one group, then an- other, a co-ed at the foot of the stairs, and finally reaches Wharton, prepared to study. But horn rimmed glasses, with their studious aspect, look unnatural on Ira; there is so much opportunity to sit around and talk in the evenings that we can hardly expect him to spend too much time on the books. Study does get the short end of Ira ' s time, some- how. But in football uniform or lacrosse outfit, he shows what he can do. He is often seen in a tux, too, whether in the glee club or on dates. Ira has now limited his snaking to home, Swarthmore, and glee club trips, and in all these quarters he is reported to have enjoyed due success. If he didn ' t waste so much time talking and fooling around he might do all sorts of other things. But his sense of humor, con- geniality, and good naturedness seem to demand that he spend his time that way. Be- sides, if he didn ' t he wouldn ' t be Ira Barnes.

N. Y. ENGLISH HONORS Behold! Phil Blackburn, musician, student, and conversationalist, stands before you. On the gridiron, in the cheering sec- tions, on freshman parties, in fights on the quad, in short, wherever noise is in evidence, Phil is not. But if he ever raises his eyes from his books and broadcasts a literary conversation, parties may come and parties may go, but you listen in forever. Phil is not an advocate of noise; he has devoted his life to the atts. Thus you see him striding across the campus, bent for the library, for library work is his natural bent. Phil it was who beat unmercifully upon the kettle drums; Phil it is who shouts wrath- fully when Lamb is stewed ot Bacon burned in Lit class; Phil it will be, if we may hazard a guess, who will be an outstanding figure in literary circles in the future. Although his aesthetic sense and literary taste have been scarred by living in Whar- ton, he closes his ears to the noise of college and his eyes to the lures of the co-eds and nufses a sublime hope for the future of Swarthmore. Page Seventy-seven HALCYON WfF of IQZq 7 REBECCA BLACKBURN Bedford, Pa. ENGLISH You ' ve probably happened by when Betty was very busy. She has a deluding way of being inconspicuous; if you think she ' s not in the Day Students ' room, you may be dis- illusioned by a quiet laugh that has just slipped over the edge of that digniiied- looking volume. Why, Betty! Where have you been? We ' ve just been talking about — and then Betty complacently starts to throw bombs. We don ' t know where she gets all her am- munition, but once a word-war gets started in Betty ' s neighborhood, she ' s sure to blow up somebody ' s pet theory. One can never quite tell how she does it, but we suppose her real secret is hidden, even from herself. However, to prove that she isn ' t an oracle or a sphinx, try telling her a joke — some- thing a bit subtle, if possible. Gay lights in her eyes signal approaching laughter, and then suddenly it is upon you — and that joke seems better than ever. But Betty is already leaning forward eagerly: I know one about — Heavens! Where has this after- noon got to? JULIA MERRILL BLAINE 209 Market Street, Pocomoke, Md. ENGLISH HONORS Julie ought to keep a shop! It would be a quaint and pretty place with dreams for sale. She would sell us dreams to suit our fancies; or we might go to her with our shattered things and she would teach us to mend them so clevetly that they would not even show where the breaks had been. Her dreams would be colorful and gay, because they would be Julie ' s. And what ' s more, they would be such intelligent dreams that Honors students would purchase them!

W., Washington. D. C. ECONOMICS Tom is probably one of the most con- scientious workers in the Junior class, and the size of his conscience is only equalled by the size of his heart. Nobody who ever asked Tom to do something has been dis- appointed, and this is probably one of the best reasons why next year will find him manager of football. Just to show that he understands the scientific distribution of time and effort, he is a member of the college orchestra and glee club, takes part in the activities of the Little Theater Club and plays a high-grade game of tennis. Moreover, there is not the sli.ghrest trace of dust on his books. Page Eighty HALaDN W mof 1QZ9 7 JOHN AUGUSTUS BULLARD 2200 North Ave., Bridgeport, Conn. ECONOMICS — Just at the moment when the frenzied group seemed about to cast all discretion to the winds, a commanding voice rang out through the seething hall, stilling the tumult with potent syllables: Heeeep, Heeeep — No, this is not an incident of the gieat Chicago fire; it is merely Buzz showing the multitude how to express itself at a mass- meeting. This lad can convert three honors students and a pint of milk into a high- grade mass-meeting just as easily as he can sing soprano, and any resident of E section will teadily testify to his absolute control over high C. To mention a few other significant traits, Buzz is equally proficient at bridge or bull- session, puts the ham in Hamburg Show, and is such a financial genius that he was allowed to guard the class funds in his Freshman year.

POLITICAL SCIENCE Jim carved a niche for himself in Swarth- more ' s Hall of Fame by cracking out the homer that sewed up last year ' s Penn game, and since then he has been filling that ex- alted position to perfection. What with this, and soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring, Jim has a hard time resting up from the week-ends. But he manages to get along pretty well in spite of all his troubles, and was even induced to answer the voice of the people and become Sophomore treasurer, although it is not known whether this was due to his inspiring independence or to his undeniable campaigning ability. Suffice it to say that no scandal has yet been uncovered, which would seem to indicate that Jim is a pretty safe fellow to trust with a hard job. JOSEPH DUKES CALHOUN 500 Mohawk Ave., Norwood, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Resolved: That Joe Calhoun can talk even the most humble brute into meek sub- mission. A. I have had considerable experience in debating in college, for 1.

SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS An honors student; yes — but an honors student that is different. You see, Myer has the reputation for getting up for breakfast and studying in the morning! It is all the stranger when we realize that his roommate is also an honors student, and does not get up for breakfast. Perhaps Myer ' s unusual habit accounts for the faa that he is able to handle honors work, swimming, Junior Varsity tennis, presidency of the Wharton Club, and still has time to bull with Artie about the trip to Europe next summer. Myer ' s pet aversion is German and that is why, strange as it may seem, he is going to spend this summer in Deutchland. He hopes to imbibe enough German to enable him to pass a reading knowledge examination. And those who have had an insight into the clear mind of this youth feel that he will make a success of German, or as a matter of fact almost anything he attempts. PHILLIP ELIE COLEMAN Swarthmore, Pa. PHYSICS The young man above is Phil Coleman. He ' s typical of the overworked, drugged Phoenix scribe that pegs away trying to write bigger and better editorials on college topics of a timely interest. And yet they say he ' s light, even frivolous. Can it be? . . . It ' s a fact — look at his smile. Anytime in the after- noon or evening Phil can be found playing in the Physics lab or else in his room where he gets the most startling sounds from his banjo. Often he will sing if you coax him hard enough, for he has sung for the Glee Club in seasons past. Page Eighty-jour HALCYON Wf Fjof 1Q2Q 7 WALTER BARTON COLEMAN 22 E. 89th St., New York, N. Y. ECONOMICS No one upon entering E section need be frightened if he hears any strange sounds issuing from behind a certain door. That is only Walt praaicing on his flute or his bass fiddle. And, really, he is quite an accom- plished artist on either. Can he play? His only weakness is for practicing in the wee sma ' hours when others are trying to take their well earned sleep. This, however, is all forgotten -R ' hen he staas to play, for even the hardest heart melts at his first sweet note. Not only is Walt an accomplished musi- cian, but also he can pound a wicked type- writer. He is always willing to copy a theme, or a letter, or what have you, for any of his numerous friends. He only exaas a minimum sum for the price of paper and wear and tear on the machine, which is so small that we have no reason to objea to them. And besides we have to remember that he does play divinely. OLIVER HAMMOND COLES Woodstown, N. J. ECONOMICS Ham is among the best in the class of ' 29. He is very much in evidence wherever and whenever good fellows get together. And he ' d do most anything for you. He is Swarthmore ' s best example of Hail fellow, well met. And he has plenty of vim, vitality, and pep, but he never shows it in just plain noise. In his Freshman year Ham went out for the business manager of the Phoenix; he remained out during his Sophomore year; and now he is holding the office of assistant business manager. And he shows by his good work that he possesses rare business qualities. When it comes to managing, Ham is right there. In his Sophomore year he was the business manager of the Y. M. C. A. Freshman Handbook. And in this, his Junior year, he is showing his ability by acting as stage managet for the Little Theatre Club, and believe us, he makes a good one. But Ham is not only interested in manag- ing indoor activities. You should see him when he is calling signals for the C section football team. When it comes to touch foot- ball, he is right in there fighting. It is rumored that he gets up early each morning during the touch football season and runs around the quad six times so he can keep in training and be a credit to his team.

If some inno- cent Freshman is talking quietly to a friend, all of a sudden you see him rise into the air with a look of awe on his face and collapse backwards half way down the hall, you know at once that Puss is approaching. That ' s she. Nature has endowed this little girl with so much it that even the job of keeping the huskiest he-man in Swarthmore quiet (see page 104, last year ' s Halcyotr), cannot hold her down.

Just think what a fix we ' d be in if Mort weren ' t here at college. Firstly, we would have missed that immortal interpretation of Grumio which he rendered in the Taming of the Shrew. Thirdly, the J. ' V. basketball team would have to get somebody else to lose the ball in the rafters when they wanted a time-out. Sixthly and lastly, Coach Strobahr ' s butterfly catchers would have to go unassisted-mana,(Tered this spring. Secondly, this page would look kind of queer with only one picture on it.

ENGINEERING Next on our list we find Exhibit E, the gentleman who made life ' s greatest mistake and then atoned for it by transferring here from Lafayette in time to become a tyrannical Sophomore. Yet even this saving deed came too late; the engineering bug had bitten him fatally at some unknown moment, and even the bracing air of Swarthmore (adv ' t) was unable to check the rapid progress of the horrid disease. One of the most noticeable symptoms of his malady was the violent seizure which caused the founding of the local chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Automobiles. By Jimmy ' s own hands, two Fords and a Chevrolet were actually raised from the dead, as it were. Another more recent outbreak was so severe that it resulted in an aggravated case of Sigma Tau. And even when free from these sporadic attacks of the germ, Jimmy suifers acutely from chronic high marks, while his friends look on and suffer too.

Moreover, he is a staunch friend of Mr. Borah, and ' tis said that the noted senator holds his position only until Bob is ready to step in. Hence, all ye who desire a little wire-pulling done, see Bob — he can fix it for you. Fix is keen about two things: tennis and bull-sessions.

JANE PERRY GRIEST Barnesboro, Pa. Jane is one of the few girls who can let their hair grow gracefully. Under her clever manipulation the process bears no resem- blance to the usual disagreeable but neces- sary means to a somewhat uncertain end, but seems a fascinating art in itself. She looks like a medieval page and ought to wear blue and gold. But medieval pages never did the Charleston! And Janey can.

The Maker thought for a long time, and at last said, I ' ll risk it; I will put the scraps together. The result was Maiion. Talent in at least five different fields, with intellect, is marvellous; but when it goes with curly blonde hair and a grin, we say, She ' s fair, but it ain ' t. Besides a three point, Marion is the Art Department of everything always, a writer of anything on occasion, a debater of something usually, and a winner in all things — when she wants to be. ■When Marion came to college Before her growing tall, There stood the Tree of Knowledge; She laughed and climbed it all!

' With this greeting Tommy hurries on, intent on whatever he is doing or planning to do.

And as these successes come his way he still retains the same cheery smile and the Hi, there, fellows!

Will this be the story of that brilliant young fellow, who, graduating with first honors from High School, came to Swarthmore to triumph here by means of Honors work — and the dissec- tion of Cats. ' Det Bronk, beloved of all prospective M. D ' s., knows there can be no question about it, for Hamilton has absorbed too much of his own exhaustive biological knowledge. Another pleasure in which Don delights is Eating — just plain e-a-t-i-n-g — berries, leaves, anything. Recall that crown of pretzels he wore one day in his Freshman year; at six in the morning it was on his head, at six in the evening it was in his stomach. This unceasing appetite apparently comes from his love of exercising. He is extremely fond of hiking ( hopping rides on the way, of course) ; and ' tis said that Don has never missed a college dance. MARION COMLY HARRIS Moylan-Rose Valley, Pa. SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Marco has a little way of standing poised on one foot, cocking her head on one side, throwing her yellow hair back and looking at you out of her clear blue eyes with the cool glance of a philosopher. It is that cool- ness that helps her to hold class offices, and manage dance committees and Halcyon business so efficiently. But suddenly she shifts to the other foot, flings her hair back again, smiles, and all the coolness dis- appears.

His spoit suits, knickers, bow ties, and smoothly brushed hair form the true criterion of what the well- dressed college man should wear. He is the center of the social whirl. In his three years of college he has never missed a chance for a bridge game, unless it was for a date, and he never, never misses them. But his time is not all spent on the more trivial, no the most important things about college. For when he says business he means business, and when he means business he means the managership of this Halcyon. That is a man-sized job in itself. So we shall not be content to see Hodge writing a book on what the well-dressed man should wear, but will also expect to find him managing, publishing, and dis- tributing the above-mentioned volume. AGNES LAWSON HOOD 147 Sumac Avenue, Wissahickon, Pa. Bunny had a bright red dress on Bunny had a bright red hat Bunny had some bright red shoes on And that, said Bunny, is that!

MATHEMATICS Hoopes is such an inconsistent person that she absolutely evades summary or condensa- tion. It just can ' t be done, that ' s all. We ' ve tried. You see, her family gave her that staid, Puritanical name of Elizabeth and sent her off to College with Mathematics in her head and a pair of spectacles in her pocket. Everyone thought she ' d read for Honors in Mathematics and turn into a sallow-faced- bespectacled grind. But she fooled ' em, for the spectacles never got farther than her pocket. And now we see her around Col- lege either playing Bridge or dashing off to Penn State. . . . But don ' t get excited, she ' s still a Math major, you know, and keeps up the fraternity average.

Once upon a time this girl ' s parents, tak- ing advantage, as is customary with parents, of her extreme youth, named her Bertha Broomell. She remained Bertha Broomell until she grew tall enough to see into a mirror, and there she saw a girl with a wide smile full of teeth and an engagingly im- pudent expression, who looked as though her name should be Terry. So Terry she has been from that day to this, as well as Quite Clever. She ' s on Portfolio board. And Very Brave. She ' s Junior Editor of the Halcyon.

That person who interrupted us was Jes- sie ' s consort, the inimitable day boy Lee, who ends his search for smooth men by associating with the amiable Jessie. Now, Jesse James of Swarthmore, isn ' t such a bad fellow. He never totes two guns, holds up stage coaches, or picks his teeth with rusty nails. Mild — yes, but with a certain un- quenchable fire that consumes all within its deep red glow. Having advanced to the uncertain status of a collegian, he looks with disdain upon his ptep. school life. But through it all he has never forgotten the dainty misses of those crinoline days. Although he may pause to glance at a co-ed, we feel sure that his heart has never left the play yards of an- cient happiness. GEORGE HAY KAIN 45 Springettsbury Place, York, Pa.

POLITICAL SCIENCE When Lou first left the land of farmers and mosquitoes and came to us, he didn ' t set the college on fire, but certainly not because he lacked the matches. And it is surprising what those who have the matches and do not choose to use them for a big blaze at first accomplish around this college. What e-nergy Lou does not put into the Political Science department and the soccer field, is expended in tinkering with radio sets. For the past three years this work has been con- fined to a process of dissembling, and the separate parts of his six or seven sets do not form a very unified system, but we feel sure that Lou will find time to get at least one in working order before he receives his sheep- skin next commencement. Lou abides by two maxims: Be non- chalant; keep your hair combed. HELEN LARZELERE 25 Harwood Avenue, Upper Darby, Pa. Found at last! A human being capable of getting things done without letting all of Parrish and Wharton know about it! This phenomenon was discovered on Second West at 6 o ' clock on February 14.

Eminent scientists declare that it is being rated by the public at its true value — which is very remarkable in this age of red tape and soft soap. There are two astonishing things about it — its kid sister and the extraordinary number of l etters it gets from Pittsburgh in its Post Office box.

Besides being one of the best milk-shake shakers that ever shook milk-shakes in the cracker room, and in the spring an ardent butterfly-chaser, he finds time to carry off an enviable average in economics. As near as we have been able to find out. Bill ' s worst fault is a certain vari-colored sweater to which he was ad- dicted a year or so back. However, he can get away with such daring apparel which may be why we ' re jealous. He has four times been voted the best looking man in A-1-1, except for his roommate. MORRIS LEE College and Princeton Aves., Swarthmore, Pa. ENGLISH HONORS When I first come to be told about this write-up, me not knowing Morris real inti- mate, I went around and asked all his friends, What ' s he like? Eighty-seven per cent of them promptly replied, Women. But the other thirteen per cent were fairer to Morrie, on account of they didn ' t men- tion women. They said, Girls. Morrie is a town boy, and as such goes in for home town products. This is the reason for why he gives the co-eds so little time. It ' s not as though Morrie didn ' t like the co-eds. The fact is, he often says how he thinks they are real sweet girls, but it ' s just that old chemical law that the same body cannot be in two different places on the same evening. Morrie is such an interesting boy on account of because he has been abroad. He worked his way across on a freighter. He went to Nova Scotia or Egypt, or someplace up there.

And while they chorused their melody, they carried her out into the stillness of the moon- lit night, and danced joyfully about her until she opened her eyes. Two moonbeams fell into their darkness, and they liked it so well that nothing could induce them to leave. A little brook could not restrain its curiosity about the cause of these festivities, and sent a ripple to investigate. But the brooklet learned nothing, because the ripple turned traitor and slipped between Anne ' s lips, never to be heatd of again, except as a con- tented infoimant of Anne ' s amusement. After a while they took her home again, and the fairy music had become so much a part of her, that it shared in everything she did. JOHN FRANCIS McBRIDE 66 Hartley Rd., Lansdowne, Pa. ECONOMICS Swaahmore seems to have a mysterious attraction for these he-men from Lansdowne, and when you stop to consider the matter you realize how fortunate for Swarthmore this little fact is. In the first place, boys like Jack are always handy to have around when it comes to athletics. When anyone mentions soccer or lacrosse. Jack ' s right there in more ways than one, and if you don ' t believe it, ask McBride. Besides this sort of ability, he is one of the best-known conscientious objectors in college and never fails to check up on all his profs ' statements. The tragedy of his life is tennis. Some- one in a mistaken attempt at humor told him that he looked like Billy Johnston. Since that unhappy hour he has worn out three racquets and any number of balls in unavailing efforts to futther the resemblance.

Un- daunted by the size of the footsteps be- queathed him by Dick and Ed, Bill has stepped right out and dented the sands of time for a flock of heel-prints in his own name. That charming air of modest reticence which makes the present Sophomore class what it is, is due in no small part to Bill ' s activities on last year ' s Vigilance Committee. Philadelphia ' s most exclusive hospitals are eager to furnish testimonials to the quality of Bill ' s line play for the last three years. HORACE McGUIRE 513 N. William St., Dayton, O.

One look at that glowing countenance, gleaming with a ruddy efful- gence undimmed by even the atmosphere of the Smoky City, and the most hardened cynic breaks down and concedes the human rgce a chance after all. Outside of Will ' s 100 per cent Nordic complexion, due mostly to the co-operation of his eyes and hair, his leading attribute is his .44 calibre smile, which is almost as much of a fixture as his delicate Swedish drawl. Daily applications of rich gridiron mud each fall have apparently failed to alter him for better or worse, and so in a spirit of revenge, his classmates elected him Junior president.

A fair co-ed trips down the walk to Worth, but Al walks briskly by, unmindful of this factor, which would be disturbing to most people. Yet Al is thinking of far-away-things, perhaps. Maybe he is engaged in thoughts of that contemplated paper. Maybe his mind runs to stars, to birds, to flowers, to life and its meaning. But, he is thinking — of what — who knows.

' Betty can handle both with equal ardor and energy, pouring into the still air sounds warranted to wring the heart and — er — rouse the emotions of the gravest grind or the most hardened pedestrian. She ' s the person the advertisements mean when they say: She has found the secret which has made her so popular in her wide circle of friends — knowing how to do things! What special accomplishment have jou and how do you use it? She never has a dull evening with nothing to do. She is the life of the party — her personality is the ladder of her success. Polly has the reputation of holding no less than three endurance records. When I heard that, I pictured to myself a big, husky, solid sort of person who could walk away with the college chest and never know it. Well I got the surprise of my life when I saw her. She ' s as light as a feather but anyway she has length. Polly holds records in swimming, dancing and smiling. If you feel dubious about her ability as a swimmer, just let her tell you about the time she fell in Stony Creek. If you don ' t know how she dances, the best thing I can suggest is that you drop around at the gym next Saturday night and find out for yourself — the college has yet to find a dancer who can tire her out. But personally, the nicest thing I can tell you about Polly is that she has a smile that never wears off. LAUGH— STONY CREEK LAUGH.

ENGINEERING Now I tell you, fellows, up in New Yawk last vacation — and then follows a vivid desctiption of the wonders of that metropo- lis. Those who have never heard Fred talk about New York think him quiet; but when he starts on that subject he says more in five minutes than we can think of in five years. Fred has succeeded in keeping away from the co-eds for three years. His conscien- tiousness and the lack of the above-men- tioned distraction enables him to survive in that fatal engineering course, where many are called but few are chosen. His one weakness is an inborn love of good bull sessions, and in this field Fred is ever ready to show his proficiency, especially when the conversation turns to his beloved New Yawk. ELIZABETH WHITE REYNOLDS 234 East Third Street, Media, Pa. Libby is one of these day students we never see. She spends most of her time at college playing with dead things in the Science Building, for she is going to be a doctor some day. And she spends all summer at Ocean City rejuvenating babies. If you ever want anything at the village, or in Media, or in town, Libby is generally going there and will get it for you, no charge for delivery. And if you ever want a raucous good time, we suggest that you get yourself invited to one of these hilarious Media house-parties that we ' ve heard so much about.

SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS You ' ve seen that fellow that hangs atound the libraty all the time, often wotk- ing at the tesetve desk, haven ' t you? Well, that ' s Bill Rice. He doesn ' t study as much as you give him credit for, though, because he ' s kept busy looking through the stacks for books for us. You can ' t realize how hard it is to find anything in those stacks until you ' ve been there. Some people say that ' s the way the library has of withdrawing a book from circulation, putting it in the stacks, you know. Oh, yes, he ' s bright enough. Came from Nebraska last year, and is taking honors work now. Always seems carefree and easy-going, to me, but they say that he knows his stuff in conference. Guess his ability has been recognized in giving him that job of hunt- ing books in the stacks. Probably has to search around there for political theory too. CHARLES THORNE RICKER Ad Fairview Place, Phillipsburg, N. J. BIOLOGY Dear Pard: How ' s everything going up there? I ' m just dropping you this line to tell you that I ' m still at college, and intend to stay for a while. As a matter of fact I ' ve been on the books a good deal and, what I mean, some of these biology profs throw a mean exam. I can ' t say that I always crash through, but I ' m there fighting. Frogs legs are serious business, if you take them in the right way. Then diversions — say, don ' t worry about them. I don ' t know who made me manager of the band, but that ' s what they call me now. How about that, manager Ricker of the band! So far all I ' ve managed to do has been to get uniforms for the musicians (? ?) The Hamburg Show, a bunch of crazy parodies on college, took a lot of time. We put on an act about a girls ' fraternity meet- ing. You should have seen me in a dress, trying to talk as much as some of the co-eds. Touch football has been keeping me in good condition, and if I last through the rest of these biology courses I ' ll see you in the home town about June. We can show the burg some new stuif.

ECONOMICS Unfortunately we cannot print a picture of Bo as he was when a Freshman, but this man-of-the-world pictured above came to us from the city of churches an inno- cent Quaker lad. But the parties with Sharpies have told their tale, and it is hard to conceive of this lad as the same boy who didn ' t miss a Quaker meeting all Freshman year. Bo boots the soccer ball in the fall, and was well on his way to a letter this year when he found that his studies were a tiifle too dilficult. In the winter he tosses the basketball around with the best of them, (yes, the scrubs practice with the varsity), and manages the track team in the spring. WALTER R. SEIBERT 445 S. 51st St., Philadelphia, Pa. MATHEMATICS The face appearing above doesn ' t look a bit like Bill Vare ' s, does it? No, of course not. ' Which all goes to prove that looks are deceiving, for this face belongs to the super-politician of this educationary institu- tion of ours. By a predicting system of matrimonial exactness, Walt has correctly prophesied the outcome of every college elec- tion since 1910. A careful research shows that he has missed only once, and that in the basketball managerial election of 1927, when modesty corrupted his calculations. This is not the place to spread rumor, but it has been intimated by those who are in a posi- tion to know that he has an excellent chance of advancing to the managership next year. In the fall ' Walt takes time away from the books to render his ser ' ices to the soccer team, where he has won for himself quite a reputation.

This fellow, and his twin brother, are a rare exception of brothers who had not had enough of one another ' s company by the time they came to college. They even room together. Whether this is purely an outcome of fraternal affec- tion or for convenience we do not say, but it is rumored that they place their beds end to end and sleep alongside one another.

DOROTHY SHOEMAKER 82 Eastern Ave., Takoma, D. C. POLITICAL SCIENCE Once upon a time not so very long ago, there was a princess who lived in a large gray castle in a most beautiful country. Because she was a charming princess every one in the kingdom loved her, and many princes begged for her hand. But she would only smile a quaint little smile of hers that made every one love her more. You would think such a princess might be selfish and lazy, but this princess wasn ' t. She worked very eagerly with all the people of the kingdom to make it the best in the world. She advised the government, she served on committees, and she helped manage the basketball team. After a long day ' s work she seemed never to be tired, but helped give lovely plays for her weary kingdom. I ' m going to whisper a secret, but you must never tell, that the lovely princess is Dot Shoemaker and the hea.iiti iil kingdom is none other than Sivarthmore.

ENGLISH Propped up in a big easy chair near the window, surrounded by his favorite books, Danny ' s cheerful greeting welcomes us as we enter his room. We glance at his library, and Dan talks familiarly about these friends of his behind leather covers. Talking about books and other things we stay much longer than we had intended. His kindness and hospitality detain us, and his interesting conversation makes us hate to leave. We excuse ourselves for taking so much of his time, but are really sorry that we do not have a longer time to while away in friendly conversation. This interesting personality and cheerful disposition have won for Dan his many friends about college, and we find ourselves only too glad to accept his invitation to stop around again and have a good talk.

SOCIAL SCIENCE HONORS Soapy Snyder came to Swarthmore with- out a semblance of a nickname. All his life he had just been Harold. Even the annals of old Northeast record him to this day as Harold E. Snyder. But on the college campus the clash of petsonalities made it necessary that he be distinguished from the boy across the way. One brilliant fellow, troubled by the thought of mistaken identity which would occur again and again, sat down to figure it out calmly. Bent upon composing a satisfactory nickname, he directed his line of thought in this direction: S — for student because that boy does hit the books. O — for orderly because he keeps things spick and span. A — for athletics, his pet hobby. P — for plugger, by being one he reaches his goals. Y — for yodeler because at singing he ' s no slouch. Our brilliant fellow smiled happily, added his letters together, said to himself, Surely that complexion isn ' t natural. This name of Soapy will fit him to a T.

It is rumored that he has been known to study, and perhaps if we stopped at his home some evening we might catch him. Of course, you ' re an engineer and that ' s a stiff enough course, but still there ' s no ex ' cuse for getting an average like yours. How do you ever expect to study if you let all those things interfere. ' Want to be a loafer all your life. ' It ' s not too late though — you might make something of yourself yet if you get to work.

When Betty Lou burst upon the college, in her Freshman year, she laid them all low — and how!

How could they help it. ' That Skin You Love To Touch, that One Out of Five smile, those Alluring Eyelashes, that Annette Kellerman figure, those Straight From Paris clothes — the only wonder was that there were any men in Swarthmore left alive after the first dazzling glimpse. Aw, Betty Lou, moaned the college, have a heart! And Betty Lou just laughed and laughed, because she knew what she wanted. And now she ' s a Junior. To the above qualities, she has added: that way of saying every line in her part for you, and you alone — that way of dancing that makes you. feel as if you were floating through rosy clouds of glory — that way of outshining her clothes — well, the college naturally never got up from its adoring posture.

Philadelphia, Pa. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Wiggy used to be quite human before he went in for vile-smelhng pipes and ram- shackle cars. He used to like a joke, regard- less of degree of wit, as well as anyone; he used to delight in his trips to Chester; in short, used to indulge in the customary foibles with a decided zeal. And in spite of these time-killers, football on the varsity and taking care of swimming pools and chemical engineering were somehow thrown in. But then he and his partner bought a 1920 model Ford and went to Florida during the past summer, where strange things must have happened, as he sometimes intimates. At any rate, he now has a passion to make old cars run and frightful pipes pleasant, but we suspea he ' d be the same old Wiggy should he emerge from under cars or out of smoke fumes. FRANCIS FISHER WHITE 138 N. Harrisburg Ave., Atlantic City, N. J. POLITICAL SCIENCE Coming from a city famous for its beauty contests. Fish brought with him to Swarth- more a critical eye for the not-much-weaker sex, and by reason of this almost unique possession he has remained free from all delusions and illusions concerning the in- habitants of Worth and Farrish. This un- usual condition has left all his time and energy free to be devoted to book-hitting, glee-clubbing, soccering, and playing and managing tennis. Fish is always in full control of his feel- ings, and never appears otherwise than in a state of perfect composure and nonchalance. The sole blot on his record was caused by the unthinking act of some reckless Sopho- more, who early in the year carelessly emptied the collected footwear of the Fresh- man class thru Fish ' s front window. His appearance and utterances when finally he had emptied the room of shoes and frosh are now, of course, public knowledge and ancient history.

ENGINEERING Meet the brick-top engineer of the Junior class, a contribution ftom the Main Line. Wick spent most of his Freshman year guiding a Ford between Ardmore and college, spending a good deal of his time on the road but managing to attend classes. Sophomore year our hero took up his resi- dence at Wharton and developed a strong tendency to sleep through classes. He re- formed Junior year, in spite of E. E. leports, and hopes are high for a brilliant Senior year as a Hickite. The Glee Club and the Band furnish an opportunity for Will to exercise his voice and saxophone, both of which he can handle. Proficient Bulling and bridge, varied with lab reports and demonstrations on the slide rule, are his favorite indoor sports. A slight tendency to procrastinate can be listed under bridge. The only serious fault we have to find with this man is that he invariably prefers to spend his week-ends in Ardmore. But this can even be pardoned. Just ask Wick what ' s the good reason.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING We shall never forget the scene in the Phoenix office when Howard pulled that I do not choose to run in 1928 antidote. With the staff on their knees in protest and tearing their hair in despondency (simply ripping it out in handfuls) , he boldly re- nounced Phoenix work incompalatible with a .ewo-point average, and it was only with the extremest arduosity that he finally con- vinced the staff to continue to edit the paper without his inexpensable services. And we agree with Howard that he has plenty to attend to, what with his failing for pianos (we are inclined to add and pianists but it would be rather a personal inflexion), and his athletic pursuits. He just missed his letter in soccer this year by eight games, but in the four he played in, proved himself as invalidable on the field as in the Phoenix office. It might not be amiss to remark here that these four games were second team computations. Anyway, we must all admit that Howard is one of the all-roundest and most expreciated boys in this college, and his beaming smile is never seen without him. MARGARET WORTH Claymont, Del. ENGLISH HONORS Peg is literary. Meaning to say, she writes and does things like that. Mostly she does things like that — which is what hap- pens to literary people when they come to college. For instance — Did I hear some- one genius burned last night? Lead me to the ashes. (The Peg of the Portfolio.) And — Give me water! Here ' s a good write-up! (The Peg of the Halcyon.) But then again she sometimes does really write, which is what all literary people should do. Odes and Sonnets and Stories and Things. And the college scratches its head and pretends it ' s surprised, which it isn ' t at all because it knew all along that Peg was very literary. Peg is social, too — which most literary people aren ' t. And Peg laughs and laughs — which most literary people don ' t. In fact Peg has all sorts of nice things about her which most literary people have not. Even chocolate buds for a penny a piece.

Page One Hundred and Forty-two Page One Hundred and Forty-three HALGfON iprj oj IQZQ Z Bartol Foundation A LUMNi and friends of Swarthmore College were surprised at the announcement last -L - Spring of the plans for removing the laboratories of the Bartol Research Founda- tion of the Franklin Institute to the campus of Swarthmore. The present laboratories on North Nineteenth Street have been found unsuitable because of the mechanical and electrical disturbances due to the traffic. It has been found almost impossible to work satisfactorily with sensitive apparatus under the physical conditions now existing. The building will be of such size as to accommodate comfortably about fifteen Fellows, who, together with the Director, his assistants, and the necessary mechanics and glass- blowers, will constitute a research group of about twenty-five men. After conferences with representatives of various colleges in the vicinity of Phila- delphia, Dr. Howard McClenahan, secretary of the Franklin Institute, decided upon Swarthmore as the best location for the continuance of scientific research. The new Laboratory is being erected by the Franklin Institute near the present Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering Buildings. The building will be equipped with a thoroughly modern shop, with the latest equipment for glass-blowing, and with a generous supply of electrical apparatus such as motor generator sets, storage batteries, switch boards, welding machines, transformers, and X-ray machines. The building will be fire-proof throughout. It is to be of stone and its design will be in harmony with the other buildings of the College. John T. Windrim is the architect. The Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, was founded in 1824. The founders intended it not only as an appro- priate memorial to the name of Franklin, but as a means of continuing for all time a work which throughout his long life he perhaps regarded as his best, namely, the discovery of physical and natural laws and their application to increase the well-being and comfort of mankind. The two young men of Philadelphia who independently conceived the idea of founding an American institution for promoting knowledge and physical science, were Samuel V. Merrick and William H. Keating. In 1921, the Institute received $1,208,468.32 from the bequest of Henry W. Bartol, a sugar refiner of Philadelphia, and a lif e-member of the Institute. The Bartol Research Foundation was established for the purpose of conducting researches relating to fundamental problems in physical science, particularly those in the field of electricity, and for the investigation of specific problems of a scientific nature which may arise in the industries. In 1923 the reconditioning of the buildings on the Institute ' s property at Nineteenth and Cherry Streets, provided a laboratory for conducting the work of the Bartol Foundation. The Foundation is maintained from a fund of some $1,600,000, over half of which was given by Mr. Bartol. The Page One Hundred and Forty-jour HALCYON pr jof IQZq Z remainder was accumulated from interest on tlie original bequest and additional gifts. This fund is administered by the Board of Managers of the Institute. Dr. W. F. G. Swann, who had been appointed Director of the Laboratories, is widely known both in this country and abroad as one of the world ' s foremost physicists. He has been head of the Department of Physics at Yale University, a director of the Sloane Laboratories at Yale, Professor of Physics at Minnesota and Chicago, connected with the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institute at Washington, D. C, and is a Doctor of Science at the University of London. In 1926 Dr. Swann conducted an experiment in Sweden for the purpose of securing evidence of a Corpuscular Radiation of Cosmic Origin. The arrangement between Swarthmore College and the Franklin Institute gives promise of great benefit to both institutions. It is expected that the Laboratory will profit by association with the college community, that it will have the conveniences of the college library, and that it may be able to find students who can at times carry on researches of an elementary character by doing part-time work. On the other hand, the authorities of Swarthmore College expect that the proximity of the Laboratory and the associations of the research men will prove stimulating to the scientific departments of the College and will arouse interest among the students in research in physical science. The Cooper Foundation THE Cooper Foundation Fund was established by William J. Cooper. Its purpose is to secure speakers of importance in the particular fields in which they have specialized. Half of the income from this fund is used directly by the committee and the other half is given to various departments and clubs of the college to enable them to secure the speakers they desire. The college has been particularly fortunate this year in the distinguished lecturers who have come here either directly or indirectly through the auspices of The Cooper Foundation. ■ Both Bertrand Russell, famous philosopher, and William Beebe, scientist, author and explorer were secured by the Cooper Foundation. Mr. Russell delivered a splendid lecture on Science and Civilization on October 21. Beneath Tropic Seas was the subject of Mr. Beebe ' s lecture given on January 12. Cannon Edmund H. Fellowes talked on the Elizabethan Madrigal on November 15. Several other lectures have been made possible through The Cooper Foundation. Phidelah Rice entertained the SomerviUe Forum with a reading of The Servant in the House. George Russell, more commonly known as A. E., the Irish poet, spoke to the English Club on Some Personalities of the Irish Literary Movement. Dr. Alfred Adler, noted for his theory of the inferiority complex lectured, at the request of the Educational Department, on Individual Psychology. Page One Hundred and Forty-fire HALCfflN Ip Wof 1Q2Q Women ' s Student Building THE campaign for the Women ' s Student Building at Swarthmore was started three years ago. Although it was undertaken originally by the Alumni and ex-students of Swarthmore College, the undergraduates also wished to co-operate. Two women from each class were elected to form a committee and the sum of one thousand dollars was fixed upon as the goal towards which the college women would work. Until this year the use to which this sum would be put was uncertain but it was finally decided to use it to put up a fireplace and mantlepiece in the large assembly hall. Above the mantlepiece there will be a bronze plaque inset of Dean Bond. The devices for raising money have been many and ingenious. They range from bridge tournaments to plays and from food-sales to open soliciting. The Players Club of Swarthmore and the Hamburg Freshman Shows have given generously, and between one thing and another, almost the whole has been raised. This year, the Committee decided that as the students would be absorbed in plans to get money for the lodges, it would be much simpler for each girl to pledge herself to pay two dollars outright sometime during the year. At a meeting of the Women ' s Student Government this was agreed to and the fund swelled by so much. A food sale will be held later in the spring. The Women ' s Student Building is designed for the convenience of the women students of Swarthmore. It is first and foremost for the Women of Swarthmore. Student Government meetings will be held there, and there are plenty of committee rooms upstairs which will do away with the usual uncomfortable perching around in class rooms. But the building is adapted for all other activities of the women as well. Every conceivable meeting can be held in it, and the large and pleasant assembly hall will make that gathering place that the women students of Swarthmore have long needed. The Building will be formally dedicated on Somer ' ille day, this spring. Page One Hundred and Forty-six HALCYON m W of 1QZ9 7 The Swarthmore College Faculty Club THE Swarthmore Faculty Club took its rightful place among the institutions of the College early in last December, with the formal opening of its new clubhouse at 519 Walnut Lane. Although for several years this organization had discussed spas- modically the desirability of a clubhouse, no truly satisfactory results were obtained until a resolute campaign was undertaken in the Fall of last year. After a smoker held September 26, for the new members of the faculty, a com- mittee was appointed to formulate a plan whereby the Bassett property on Walnut Lane, formerly the Silver Spoon Tea Room, might be purchased and converted into a clubhouse. Considerable preliminary work having been done, the enterprise received the sanction of the college authorities and the Board of Managers, ten members of the latter group becoming affiliated with the Club. The property was purchased during October, and contracts were let for the construction of six new garages, two fireplaces, and a stone tennis court. Furniture and equipment was purchased and on December 6, the housewarming was held. A dining room service is now maintained for the convenience of the members, and fifteen bedrooms are rented monthly to those desiring to live at the Club. The totaL membership is now 82, and the limit, including a few residents of Swarthmore who) are not connected with the College, is fixed at 100. At present the organization of the Club is as follows: President, H. J. M. Creighton; Vice-President, G. G. Thatcher; Secretary, R. E. Spiller; Treasurer, H. F.

It has given opportunities for every inan not affiliated with a fraternity to form friendships which may be life long; it has promoted their thought upon college problems; it has encouraged them to participate in college activities; it has developed their interest in the future of the college. It has filled a long felt want in the entertainment of returning non-fraternity alumni. The Torch, the emblem of the club, is bestowed upon those members who have performed real services to the organization, who have participated in college affairs, and who have obtained the required scholastic standing. Pins may be worn by all members showing interest in the organization. Carl A. Arenander, 28 Philip G. Blackburn, ' 29 Myer Cohen, Jr., ' 29 Walter B. Coleman, ' 29 John J. Coughlin, ' 28 Robert G.

Students, Alumni and Faculty than any other college publication. Striving to serve all its readers, the Phoenix prints college news. Alumni and Faculty notes; runs a literary and dramatic column, and keeps its readers in touch with the outside world in politics and intercollegiate news. During the past year, the public opinion columns have increased, on some occasions completely filling the editorial page. At the same time the Editorials tried to voice the convictions of both individuals and groups concerning college problems. The growing interest in the Editorial columns has been encouraging, both in the number of contributions received from the whole staff and the answers to them through the public opinion columns. The Junior and Sophomore candidates have assumed much of the responsibility for the weekly issues, under the guidance of the Senior staff. Following a system started a few years back, each Junior has personally supervised a few issues. Con- sequently, the 1928-1929 staff enters upon its work well-trained in both writing and management. In order that the new staff might have more experience before the commencement issue, and the benefit of advice from the outgoing staff, elections were made in March this year rather than in April. A special course for Freshmen editorial candidates was conducted throughout the first semester by members of the staff and faculty journalists. A trip was made through the Public Ledger plant so that students might get a perspective of the connection of Phoenix work to larger possibilities after college. Miss Betty Read told of her experiences on the Evening Bulletin at a recep- tion given to her by the staff. The business staff has ever lent its support toward financing the editorial projects. Cooperation between the two staffs has made possible special issues to commemorate the passing of some of Swarthmore ' s leaders. The number of subscriptions to the Phoenix, which has the largest proportional circulation of any collegiate or intercollegiate newspaper in this part of the country, has been maintained through the efforts of that department. Caroline A. Lukens, ' 98, Alumni Editor, has been untiring in her efforts to supply the Phoenix with interesting alumni news. She is continually used by the staff as a reliable Who ' s Who and What ' s What in Swarthmore history. The Advisory Board has offered valuable and appreciated criticism to both the editorial and business staffs.

Yet, all of this uncertainty has created a keener interest and a vigorous desire to attain at the finish something far bettet than what had been anticipated when the forty-fourth Halcyon was just a newly-elected group of bewildered Sophomores. There are innovations and some teversions to old forms of other years that appealed as being suitable for a 1929 model. Changes do not always have an appeal as was witnessed when Swarthmore men and thinly clad co-eds were forced to the icy library steps on some of the worst days in March. Perhaps fraternity members are displeased to see their names without the customary Greek letters. These and other variations were not made rashly but with the profound idea of creating a new Halcyon, a book that the Class of 1929 and all Swarthmoreans might cherish as a record of college aaivity. We are grateful to the people with whom we have worked for their service in the long process of publica- tion. Mr. W. F. Robinson and Mr. E. Allen Palmer have represented the Franklin Printing Company in a most pleasing manner. Mr. Benjamin F. James of the Philadelphia Photo-Engraving Company has given us the benefits of his wide experience with annuals in all parts of the country. Mr. Hyman Zamsky has pointed the artistry of his studio in our direction. We cordially thank them all. ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER. ASSOCIATE EDITOR ASSISTANT BUSINESS .MANAGER.

Page One Hundred and Ninety-one HALCYDN |pr of 1QZ9 7 I i t; The Portfolio ' HE Portfolio is a Literary Quarterly published by the students of Swarthmore College. Three years ago a group of enthusiasts, themselves gifted, believed enough literary talent existed among the student body to warrant a publica- tion of writing of a more literary and poetic style than that of the Phoenix or the Halcyoti. Attempts made in this direc- tion before had been unsuccessful, but this energetic group formed a staff and obtained financial backing from parents and friends of the college. Since then the policy of the Portfolio has varied. But at ° ° all times an earnest attempt has been made to include in its pages the best of the material submitted. Criticism of the Portfolio has come from many directions. A paper with a necessarily limited circle of readers always brings upon itself the unthinking clamor of those who do not care for its literary tone. But much of the criticism has been constructive and appreciated. At present, the Portfolio, believing that the under- graduate is not a creator as much as a thinker, a digestor of facts, feels that the magazine should contain more articles of a critical rather than of a creative nature, and is appealing for such material. Whether this plan will be successful remains to be seen, and depends somewhat on the proof that under- graduates do think clearly enough to express themselves with lucidity and interest.

M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Conferences FOR the second time the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Conferences were held together at Eaglesmere, Pa., during June. Among the prominent leaders of the Conference who gave interesting talks were Rev. Charles W. Gilkey, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Juliette Derricotte and George Shorty Collins. The main work of the session was done in small interest groups who discussed various topics such as International Relations, Standards for Action, Social Relations, Race, Campus Conduct and the Educational System, Christian Experience and Expression and Creative Living. Also there were many discussion groups on the individual problems of each Christian association in making its proper place on its own campus. The afternoons and free times were busy with boat racing, swimming, tennis, treasure hunts, geology and botany hikes and modern poetry appreciation groups. The Swarthmore delegation had several impromptu athletic contests with groups from old rival colleges. There were two tea-dances, a stunt party, and a final big dance for all those attending the conference. The Swarthmore representatives for the girls were Gertrude Jolls and Marian Pratt, of the class of 1928; and Linda A. Chandler and Helen V. Larzelere, of the class of 1929. The men were represented by Edward McFeely, of the class of 1928; Milton Atkinson, Parker King, and O.

A. has strengthened its position on the hill to a marked degree. Meetings have been held fairly regularly, student interest and enrollment is considerably larger, and support is being given several charity organizations of the vicinity. From June 10 to June 20 of last year, the annual conference of various college branches of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. as represented by delegates from each branch was held at Eaglesmere. Good fellowship and the spirit of brotherhood were the keynotes of the conference, and each day was opened by a dawn service for all those who cared to attend. The rest of the morning was then devoted to lectures on various modern social problems facing college men and women, and to discussion groups of students to stimulate more thought and conversation. Afternoons were spent in such diverse occupations as hiking, canoeing, baseball, tennis, and aquatic sports. Ball teams were organized in each of the rival hotels, and a series was also held between teams representing the students and the faculty members in attendance. The climax of social events was reached with a typical stunt night, to which all contributed, followed by a highly successful dance. Swarthmore ' s representa- tives were, for the women, Gertrude JoUs, ' 28, and Helen Larzelere, Linda Chandler, and Marian Pratt of the class of ' 29, and for the men, Edward McFeely, ' 28, and Hammond Coles, Milton Atkinson, and Parker King of the class of ' 29. mm? i Hf Q9 ks rai l ' -« .- l=P| - - ■ !

An instrumental club, a quartet, an orchestra and solo selections, together with the glee club choruses made an enjoyable and skilfully rendered program. The season opened with the annual home concert and glee club prom, held at college on February twenty-first. It was at this concert that the newly formed Instru- mental Club made its first public appearance, and delighted the audience with their excellent tone and rhythm. Holtzmann ' s Spirit of Independence was especially well played. Edward Passmore ' s violin solos and the selections rendered by the male quartet were very popular. The quartet includes Thomas Brown, ' 29, Thomas Moore, ' 28, Edward Passmore, ' 30, and Howard Wood, ' 29. The clubs made their Atlantic City trip in the early part of March, and a concert was given in the music room of the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall and broadcast by station WPG. This concert was well attended and favorably commended. The harmony and feeling shown in the singing of Charmaine and the spirit of the college songs appealed to the appreciative audience. The Musical Clubs are indebted to Mr. Judson R. Eldridge who directed them through a successful season, and to William P. Dowdy, ' 31, accompanist.

Page Two Hundred and Five HALCYQN JW oJ IQZQ 7 The Band WHEN the Garnet eleven rushes on the gridiron, there is now a band to welcome and encourage them. The band was organized a year ago by students who felt that it would increase college spirit at athletic contests. The responsibilities of leader- ship and organization were shouldered by Paul M. Kistler, ' 27, and much of the subsequent success of the organization is due to his efforts. This year, under the direction of Charles F. Hadley, Jr., ' 28, the band has ex- panded and improved. Garnet cloaks and berets have been purchased, and add much color to gridiron contests. Through frequent practices the technique and skill of the musicians has improved considerably. The band played for all the home football games and travelled to the Delaware game. Their appearance at the Haverford basket- ball game lent much to the spirit of the occasion. C Thorne Ricker, ' 28, who managed the organization during the past year, will be leader of the band during the coming season, and Morton Milne, ' 30, will be manager.

Page Two Hundred and Eight VHALODN liP y IQZq Little Theatre Club Plays AT its annual Spring production, the Little Theatre Club presented The Charm .School, a comedy in three acts, by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, on April 29 and 30, 1927. Paul Strong, ' 30, did fine work in his interpretation of the lead- ing role, Austin Bevans, an automobile salesman who unexpectedly inherits a girl ' s boarding school. Bevans shares an apartment with David MacKenzie, played by William Pickett, ' 27. The Simpkins Twins are played by Theodore Fetter, ' 28, and Thomas Brown, ' 29, and the good-hearted George Boyd by Thoburn Maxwell, ' 28. A high mortgage is held on the Fairview School by the wealthy Homer Johns, Christian Adelman, ' 29, who is the guardian of Elsie Benedotti, the school leader and heroine, Betty Lou Thompson, ' 29- After being assured that no pupil of Fairview will fall in love with him, Bevans goes to the school to take charge. Julie Chapman, ' 28, gave a good interpretation of the school secretary. Virginia Stratton, ' 30, as Sally Boyd, made a delightful schoolmischief. Bevans encounters opposition to his plans in Miss Hay, Gertrude Whetzel, ' 27, the second in command at the school, and also from the senior class who have mistaken Johns for the new principal. Marion Harris, ' 29, Catherine Emhardt, ' 29, Caroline Robison, ' 29, Merida Grey, ' 30, and Mary Anderson, ' 29, are school girls. MacKenzie, Boyd and the Simpkins Twins arrive at the school to become instructors, and the presence of so many men creates many complications and amusing situations culminating in Elsie ' s running away because she thinks Bevans does not return her love. Of course, in the end he succumbs to her charm. Miss Hays makes up with Mr. Jones, who turns out to be her old lover, while Sally Boyd is left in the awful predicament of trying to decide between the twins. The Little Theatre ' s presentation of Bernard Shaw ' s Arms and the Man, on October 28, 1927, assured everyone of the ability of Swarthmore students to produce worth-while and significant drama. The play was chosen as a result of the general feeling that the club had been wasting the talent of its members on trifling productions. The excellent acting of the cast was due in great measure to the splendid coaching of Mrs. Breta Crapster Lucas, ' 15, who also coached last year ' s senior play. Theodore Fetter, ' 28, took the role of Bluntschli; Caroline Robison, ' 29, was Raina and Christian Adelman, ' 29, Sergius. Raina, romantic and theatrical, is in the throes of the higher love for the young officer Sergius. Louka, Sarah Powell, ' 30, a proud maid-serva nt is in love with him despite the fact that she is engaged to Nicola, the man-servant, Herbert Hosking, ' 28. Into this romantic atmosphere comes the matter-of-fact, busi- ness-like Swiss officer Bluntschli. For Sergius and Raina, sentimental dreams come crashing down, while the fussy, self-satisfied mother, Julie Chapman, ' 28, and her soldier-husband look on, helpless and uncomprehending. Finally, Raina surrenders to her chocolate cream soldier ; Louka captures Sergius; and Nicola decides to submerge his disappointment in a shop-keeping enterprise. Thoburn Maxwell, ' 28, though only on the stage for a few minutes, played his part as a Russian Officer with great spirit. Page Two Hundred and Nine HALCYON ■Pj oj IQZQ Z Play Production t; ' HE course in One- Act Plays this year was different from heretofore and has assumed the title Play Production. The course has not been limited to the production of one-aa plays, but has included study of the drama from Greek tragedies to modern performances. Dr. Hicks plans to give this course alternate years. Last May four original one-act plays, written by Swarthmore students, were presented. Once to Every Woman by Ted Fetter, ' 28, was directed by the author and Gertrude Whetzel, ' 27. The cast consisted of Esther Wilson, ' 28, Caroline Robison, ' 29, Jack Leopoldt, ' 27, and Ted Fetter, ' 28. Voice of the Gods by Marion Hall, ' 29, was under the direction of Esther Howard, ' 27. Those in the cast were Robert Stabler, ' 27, Elizabeth Jenkins, ' 28, Stephen Tily, ' 27, Olive Deane, ' 28, Thomas Moore, ' 28, Marion Hall, ' 29, Albert Blackburn, ' 29, and Lydia Roberts, young daughter of Superintendent Roberts. Girard Ruddick ' s play The Cardinal, was coached by Helen Scott, ' 27, and played by William Pickett, ' 27, Betty Lou Thompson, ' 29, Milton Atkinson, ' 29, Charles Rickards, ' 27, Sarah Franklin, ' 29, William Simmons, ' 27, and Charlotte Salmon, ' 28. Shif ' less by Nell Rubins, ' 28, won the Curtain Theatre first prize. It was directed by the author, and Frances McCafferty, ' 27, and cast by Julie Chapman, ' 28, Mortimer Drake, ' 29, Joseph Calhoun, ' 29, and Robert Johnson, ' 27. The first efforts of the class this year were non-public performances given in Little Theatre. They were old English miracle and morality plays — Noah ' s Flood, Abraham and Isaac, The Second Shepherd ' s Play, an Interlude and Everyman. The Taming of the Shrew, presented December 9, 1927, in modern dress, was the first scheduled public performance. To put the audience in a good humor, an introduction preceded the play in which the main characters were: the drunken Christopher Sly, Walter Coleman, ' 29, the young lord, Howard Wesrwood, ' 31, and the page who pretended to be Sly ' s wife, Bertha Hull, ' 29. The scene was enlivened by the hunters, Jeannette Poore, ' 28, Jean Fahringer, ' 30, and Donald Buckwell, ' 30; the servants, Helen Bessemer, ' 30, Frances Eaton, ' 30, Virginia Stratton, ' 30, and Eleanor Powell, ' 30; the players, Caroline Robison, ' 29, and Grace Heritage, ' 29. Ted Fetter, ' 28, as the blustering Petruchio, and Marion Hall, ' 29, as the shrew Katherine, carried the main action of the play. The sweet and gentle Bianca, Kate ' s sister, was played by Dorothy Shoemaker, ' 29. Among the many suitors for her hand were Gremio, Robert Dawes, ' 29, Hortensio, Thoburn Maxwell, ' 28, and Lucentio, the favored and successful suitor, Thomas Moore, Jr., ' 28. Aiding Lucentio in his courtship were Tranio, Louis Kumpf, ' 29, and the pedant, Walter Coleman, ' 29. The part of Lucentio ' s father, ' Vincentio, was played by Donald Buck- well, ' 30, and that of the father of Katherine and Bianca, by Paul Strong, ' 30. Mortimer Drake proved himself an able comedian as Petruchio ' s attendant. Petruchio ' s other servant, Curtis, Charlotte Salmon, ' 28; Nathaniel, Edward Passmore, ' 30, together Page Two Hundred and Ten HALCYON Jr ioJ IQZQ Z with Margaret Walton, ' 29, and Frances Eaton, ' 30, afforded additional comedy. Louise Yerkes, ' 30, appeared in the last act as the proud widow. One December 13, the other members of the class gave two one-act plays in a private performance. They were, Joint Owners in Spain and Overtones. Scenes from the comedies of manners of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were presented by the class on March 16, 1928. The purpose of the production of these selections from full length plays was to illustrate both the superficial differences sepa- rating us from the past, and the human traits and motives linking us with it, as they are mirrored in this type of drama which has lived through three centuries of English literature. The general trend of the plays in their entirety was suggested to the audience through prologues and epilogues written and delivered by Bertha Hull, ' 29, and Dorothy Shoemaker, ' 29. The selection from The ' Way of the ' World by Congreve, was coached by Esther Felter, ' 28. Charlotte Salmon, ' 28, portrayed an amusing Lady ' Wishfon who thinks herself still young and very attractive. Ruth Cleaver, ' 30, took the part of her clever intriguing maid, Mrs. Foible, and Betty Lou Thompson, ' 29, the charming Mrs. Millamant, Lady ' Wishfort ' s niece. ' William McCune, ' 31, and ' Will McLain, ' 29, represented two typical gentlemen of fashion, while Edward Passmore, ' 30, played the part of the simple country fellow. The other parts were raken by Jeannette Poore, ' 28, Elizabeth Palmenberg, ' 29, Frances Eaton, ' 30, and Helen Bessemer, ' 30. Julie Chapman, ' 28, interpreted the part of Mrs. Malaprop in the scene from Sheridan ' s The Rivals coached by Neil Rubins. Her acting was unquestionably the best of the perform- ance. Thoburn Maxwell, ' 28, was an amusing Sir Anthony and ' Virginia Stratton, ' 30, an appeal- ing Lydia Languish. The supporting cast was Louis Kumpf, ' 29, as young Captain Absolute, and Eleanor Powell, ' 29, as Lucy, the maid who abets Lydia ' s romantic dream. Three scenes were presented from The School for Scandal by Sheridan, directed by Ted Fetter. The star parts were all well done, Caroline Robison as Lady Teazle, Mortimer Drake as Sir Peter, Ted Fetter as Crabtree and Charles Surface, ' Walter Cole- man as Sir Benjamin Backbite and Howard Wesrwood as Joseph Surface. Margaret Walton, Jean Fahringer, Robert Dawes and Louise Yerkes made up the rest of the cast. Oscar Wilde ' s Lady Windermere ' s Fan directed by Frances Porter was the last selection on the bill. Olive Deane, ' 28, was the clever Mrs. Erlynne, Paul Strong, ' 30, Lord Windermere, and Robert Dawes, ' 29, was Lord Augustus Lorton. The other roles were played by Catherine Hatfield, Betty Pearson, Winifred Rumble, Edna Griffiths, Grace Heritage, Sophie Stern, Marion Collins, Thomas Moore, Jr., Haines Felrer, Walter Muir and Donald Buckwell. Page Two Hundred and Eleven HALCYON ■Ir jof IQZQ 7 Commencement Play SURELY A Midsummer Night ' s Dream was never played in a more charming setting than Magill Auditorium on the night of June third, 1927. A new moon hung low over the trees that bound the auditorium, and the early summer night was warm and clear: a perfect night and setting for Shakespeare ' s well-known phantasy. None of the rather large cast, rw enty-seven in all, failed to catch the spirit of faery that prevades the play. Splendid lighting arrangements gave an unreal atmos- phere to the production, and incidental music; violin, flute, and piano, combined to heighten this effect. Every principal in the cast was splendid. Walter Studdiford as Bottom, the weaver, never failed to get a laugh; Puck, played by Esther Howard, was portrayed with a charm that drew the entire audience with her into the realm of phantasy. The play was ably directed by Mrs. Lucas. The play was under the direction of Robert B. Clothier, Business Manager; Paul Kistler, Stage Manager; Friend D. Hunter, Music; Elizabeth Miller, Chairman Costume and Property Committee. The play was repeated the following morning, June 4, in Collection Hall.

Several innovations in the forensic activity have been made. For the first time four of our speakers presented their views on the Open Sunday before the Ethical Culture Society in Philadelphia. There they met with such an interested and enthusi- astic audience that their return next year is very probable. Then there has been a change made in the place for holding discussion. This year a group met in the honie of Professor Hunt. Another group met in Woolman House, and a third discussion was held in the Managers ' Parlor. It was felt that the atmosphere of these meeting places would be more conducive to an alert and responsive audience. All such meetings were well attended and the discussion following them showed that they were greatly appreciated. Doubtless these will continue in the future, for it is the purpose of the Debate group to stimulate and encourage pertinent thought and its expression.

The schedule, which was longer this year than last, included nine debates, seven of which were intercollegiate, and two intra- mural. The latter were given before the Swarthmore Women ' s Club and the Media Women ' s Club. The plan of Club debates was originated this season and proved a happy inspiration. More interest was shown in women ' s debating than formerly, and the debaters were given more support. Imperialism and Pacifism have been the subjects debated this year. The men and women met together according to the questions which they selected for the season ' s work. This resulted in several mixed debates which have proved interesting.

It is the aim of this group to present such speakers as will interest and produce thought among the undergraduates. As far as possible, the Forum cooperates with other clubs in college for the furtherance of this aim. The Forum has, so far this year, presented three prominent speakers. It is hoped that there will be two more before the year is complete. Mr. Paul Blanshard, recently returned from China, spoke from first hand knowledge on the Chinese situation. Miss Mary Kelsey, Secretary of the Honfleur International Student Conference, gave an intimate account of the conditions prevailing among the Russian people. She stressed the reconstructive attitude that is manifest in the country. The Honorable Rennie Smith, youngest member of the British Parliament, had as his subject General Dis- armament or General War ? His thorough grasp of the intricacies of disarmament made him a most illuminating speaker, and one that the audience of the Forum will remember for some time. EXECUTIVE BOARD f resident Alexander D.

At present ail senior, junior, and sophomore majors in the Botany-Embryology and Physiology-Zoology Deparr- ments are eligible for membership. The Society was named in honor of Dr. Spencer Trorter who was for so many years the head of the Biology Department. It is the aim of the Society, which replaces the old Campus Club, to stimulate interest in biological sciences by obtaining prominent speakers and in general to promote student discussions in these fields.

All engineering majors are eligible for membership, and the club is under the leadership of an undergraduate president who works in conjunaion with Professor Charles G. Thatcher, chairman of the Engineering Division. A new custom was inagurated this fall — that of giving an Annual Engineering Dinner and Smoker each fall to which all engineering alumni, faculty and undergraduates are invited. Monthly meetings are held in the Pitt of Wharton Hall and are addressed by prominent men engaged in various phases of the engineering profession.

Dunn Theodore Widing Page Tiro Hundred and Thirty HALCYON BiP joJ 1Q29 Z 1917 Football RevicAv THE 1927 football team of Swarthmore College played a schedule of eight games, winning four, losing three, and playing one scoreless tie. Susquehanna, Lehigh, Washington College, and Delaware succumbed to the drive of the Garnet gridmen, while Penn, Ursinus, and Rutgers forced Coach Mercer ' s eleven to accept defeat. Franklin and Marshall was battled to a 0-0 tie, and the final outcome of the season was a total of 58 points scored by Swarthmore as against 73 points scored by her opponents. The season opened rather unpromisingly. Only seven letter men remained from the 1926 team, ten having been lost, including stars of the calibre of Richards, Coles, Garber, Best, and Unger. Of those remaining, four were backs and only three lines- men, with the result that Coach Mercer ' s chief problem was to form a powerful line. However, the Freshman class afforded unusually strong material, and during the three weeks before the Penn game a fast heavy forward wall was built up under the tutelage of line coach Bill Ward, a former Penn star. The Penn game itself came rather in the nature of a disappointment, for after the poor showing the Red and Blue had made against Franklin and Marshall the Garnet rooters were primed for a close and bitter struggle. But under the blazing September skies the issue was decided largely by the superior weight of the Penn eleven and its plentiful supply of able substitutes. The Little Quakers had their biggest opportunity of the day shortly after the opening of the game, when a recovered Penn fumble and a short run put the ball on the Penn seventeen yard line. But with the goal line in reach, a Garnet fumble put an end to the best scoring chance of the day and paved the way for a counter attack that led to three Red and Blue tallies in the opening quarter. Swarthmore rallied strongly in the next two periods, and allowed no further scoring until late in the final chukker. The Garnet passed up another excellent chance to push over a tally when an opportune fumble gave them possession of the ball on the enemy ' s eleven yard line, but a drop kick was attempted from too great an angle CASTLE, CAPTAIN 6 ' . MERCER, COACH W.MCFEELY, CAPTAIN-ELECT Page Tiro Hundred and Thirty-one HALCYON 1Q29 E. MC FEELY to be successful, and the heat and a fresh Penn team finally managed to add thirteen more points to the Red and Blue total, making the final score 33-0. Taken as a whole, the game showed up little except the potential power of the Freshmen line. October 8, saw a vastly improved Swarthmore eleven gallop off with a 6-0 decision over the Susquehanna gridmen, on a rain-soaked home field. With the discovery of several Freshmen ball carriers of no mean ability, the strength of the Garnet attack had been greatly increased, and the forward passing of the McGuire-Castle combina- tion was ultimately successful in converting a determined drive down the field into the only score of the struggle. Playing at the top of its form, Mercer ' s machine swept off with a 12-10 victory over Lehigh as the result of its journey to Bethlehem on October 15. An irresistible HALLOWELL Page Two Hundred and Thirty-two NHALCYON WP of 1Q2Q Z r VIEWS OF THE PENN GAM E Page Two Hundred and Thirty-three HALCYON W mof IQZq X second period attack by the Garnet netted a touchdown that more than compensated for the opening Lehigh count scored by the field goal route in the first frame. Keefer, one of the best of the first year linesmen, followed up a bad pass from the Brown and White center and recovered the ball for a thirty-five yard sprint over the goal line. Almost at once after the following kickofi the Garnet backs took the ball from mid- field to the twenty yard line on straight football, and then scored by the familiar McGuire-Castle aerial route. The Bethlehem aggregation came back strong in the final rubber and pushed over the final score of the game, leaving Swarthmore with a narrow two-point margin of victory. Captain Castle excelled his usual splendid punting form and held off the Brown and White threat time after time by the accuracy of his long spiralled boots, and the whole team showed up extremely well both on attack and defense. The following Saturday saw Washington College humbled by a count of 33-0 on the home field. The visitors were clearly outclassed by the Quaker outfit, and at no time during the game was the Garnet goal ever in serious danger. On the other hand, the Swarthmore gridders had little or no trouble in smashing through the Maryland defense, Dutton leading the onslaught with a total gain of 85 yards from scrimmage. Founders ' Day had a different story to tell, for the Franklin and Marshall eleven came down from Lancaster and played the Garnet to a standstill in a thrilling but scoreless battle. The Lancastrians had held Penn to only 8 points earlier in the season, and produced a heavy line and shifty backfield to give the Mercermen a lively after- noon. However, the Swarthmore forward wall lived up to its reputation, and smeared all enemy attacks with great promptness. Unfortunately, the Garnet backs could not quite muster the punch necessary to take the ball over, and although they had one great opportunity in the last quarter when a long drive up the field ended with the ball about six inches from the Lancaster goal, the final shove failed and left the game just as it had started. Plenty of fighting spirit was displayed, but there was a loss of power in the running plays that kept Swarthmore from ultimate victory. The final win of the season was scored over Delaware on the enemy field by the score of 7-0. Swarthmore had counted on a larger victory than the final result showed. DELLMUTH Page Two Hundred and Thirty-jour HALCYON ■W of 1929 7 but inability to keep driving held the ball near midfield until the third quarter, when Captain Castle started the one effective goalward march of the game. The superiority of the Garnet was clearly visible, but the scoring punch was again absent during most of the play. Dellmuth and McDiarmid were the only consistent ground gainers in the game, but the stiffening of the Delaware line when their goal line was threatened offset the Garnet plunges time after time. On November 12, the Swarthmore gridmen took a sound beating from a better team when they journeyed to CoUegeville and met the Ursinus outfit for a 21-0 reverse. The fact that the victory was the first won by the Ursinus eleven in seventeen years of playing, the Garnet did not keep Moyer and Jeffers of the opponent ' s backfield from running wild around the Swarthmore ends, or from tossing passes for forty and fifty yard gains. The kicking of Captain Castle was the Garnet ' s best weapon, and the fact that the game was played in a high wind did not admit of very consistent gains through this method. The speed of the Ursinus backs enabled them to skirt the ends almost at will, while the only method of gaining open to Swarthmore was a rather erratic line plunging attack that never got well under way. Several times the wind aided the Quakerite eleven in carrying the ball to the CoUegeville ten yard line, but no methods of advance seemed successful after that point had been reached. The Rutgers game, on November 19, furnished a disappointing wind-up to the season, for in a loosely played game on the home field the Jerseyites passed tfieir way to a 19-6 victory in revenge for their 1926 defeat at the hands of the Garnet eleven. Once more the lack of drive in the Swarthmore backfield when wi thin scoring range wasted several opportunities to push across a touchdown. The opening attack of the Scarlet showed the power of the visitors ' aerial game, for they passed seventy yards to a score in the first five minutes of play. A second touchdown was scored on what looked like a certain tally for the Garnet, for with the ball on the visitors ' five yard line a blocked pass bounced into the arms of a Scarlet linesman who dashed ninety yards before being dropped by MacNeille. The ball was taken over in the next two plays, and the final Rutgers score came in the third quarter as a result of a series of short passes and end runs. In the last frame the Swarthmore backfield began hitting harder, and through the plunging of Dutton, Dellmuth, and Atkinson the ball was forced over just before the final whistle. Dutton was the outstanding player for the home team, gaining seventy yards from scrim- mage during the battle.

Tipping I ' age Tivo Hundred and Tloirly-eigtot HALCYON II WoJ IQZQ 1918 Basketball Review WITH only one letter man in college, and not much upper class material, the prospects for the 1928 basketball team were anything but favorable. Confronted with the task of whipping an entirely new team into shape, Coach French developed a combination composed entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores which showed promising ability and brighter prospects for future years. With an inexperienced team like this, it is not surprising that only four victories were gained in fourteen games. The quintet reached the peak of its career when it put up a bold light against the crack Penn Intercollegiate League Leaders, holding them to a 29-22 score. Tipping, a Sophomore, was the only letter man on the squad, but the Freshmen and Sophomore classes brought forth much promising material. McDiarmid, a Sopho- more who had seen some action in the preceding year, developed into a first class forward and ended the season as high scorer. He was rewarded for his excellent play- ing by the captainship of the 1929 team. Johnson was the third Sophomore on the team, earning his letter in the pivotal position. Two Freshmen: Testwuide, a fast forward, and Dellmuth, who in spite of holding down a guard position, was runner- up for scoring honors, completed the starting line-up. McCook, a Senior, and McGuire, a Junior, played regularly and earned letters as forward and guard. The inexperienced Garnet team started the season with victories over Osteopathy and Drexel. The veteran Osteopathy five was overwhelmed by a 43-25 score, as Test- wuide, scoring four goals in his first varsity game, proved his ability in the forward position. McDiarmid scored heavily in both games, caging five baskets in the first five minutes of the Drexel game. The final score was 40-29. The crack Penn A. C. team, composed of former college stars such as Captain Davenport and Lindsay of Penn, amassed a comfortable lead in the first few minutes, TIPPING, FIELD CAPTAIN SMITH ERS, MANA.GER MCDIARMID, CAPTAIN-ELECT Page Two Hundred and Ihirly-nhie HAL(TON lPr oJlQZ9 7 TESTWUIDE netting twenty- two points to six in the first half. Although Swarthmore outscored the Philadelphia five in the second half, thirteen to eight, it was unable to overcome the opponent ' s early lead and lost by a 30-19 score. Swarthmore again hit its stride and beat St. John ' s College, 49-27, on the home floor. The team showed excellent floorwork and fine passing and broke into the scoring column again and again. McDiarmid was high scorer with five field goals and three fouls to his credit. The next two games, an extra period contest with Ursinus and the Muhlenburg game, were lost by two point margins. The Ursinus game was close throughout, the Garnet leading, 17-14 at the end of the first half, and holding a two point lead until the closing minutes of play. Swarthmore ' s excessive fouling proved fatal, however, for two foul goals at the end of the game tied the score. An extra five minute period was called and proved as exciting as the main contest. Both teams guarded closely and took few chances on the offense, but Ursinus managed to get two goals to Swarth- more ' s one. Dellmuth was fouled while shooting and the game ended with the score, 34-32. Muhlenburg, as if to avenge the one point defeat of last year, beat out the Garnet by a two point margin, winning by a 29-27 score. Tied at eleven all at half time, the lead see-sawed until the very end of the game, when the Muhlenburg center, hitherto a stranger to the scoring column, netted five points in two minutes. Rutgers, with its 1927 team intact, and fresh from a victory over the Princeton five, overwhelmed Swarthmore, 37-10, in a game played at New Brunswick. Leading at half time by the comfortable margin of 23-7, the Scarlet quintet held the visitors to three points during the second half. The remaining ten games, with the exception of a victory over Susquehanna, resulted in defeat. Although the Garnet put up a good fight against far more ex- perienced teams, it lost several games by only a few points. Fordham ' s undefeated team was the next on the schedule, and, confident of victory, the Maroon first string men did not start. When the Little Quakers broke away to an early lead, the starting combination was substituted. The Garnet quintet Page Two Hundred and Forty HALCYON WIPjop 1Q2Q was unable to check the high scoring pace set by the opponents and was outscored almost two to one, losing by the score of 43-22. Another undefeated team took its toll from the Garnet as the Washington College five, Maryland champions and victors over Penn A. C, beat Swarthmore by a 36-20 score. With excellent passing, an impregnable defense, and an uncanny eye for the basket, the Maryland team broke away in the closing minutes to score eighteen con- secutive points and win the game. Before the Garnet had let up, the score was nip and ruck, and Swarthmore led, 14-12, at half time. This discouraging string of five defeats was broken by a well earned victory over Susquehanna, when the upstate team was overwhelmed by a 44-17 score. This well played game proved the soundness of the Garnet offense and defense. McDiarmid and Dellmuth were high scorers. Delaware won, 28-25, after a closely contested game on the home floor in which the Garnet, although beaten by a small margin, showed excellent teamwork and filled their supporters with hope for the Penn game. Penn, Intercollegiate League Leaders, expected little competition from the in- experienced Swarthmore team. They had forgotten the fighting spirit always exhibited by the Little Quakers in contests with their big rivals. After the Garnet had proved superior to the first string substitutes and led, 13-10, at half time, the Penn rooters looked surprised and worried. Coach McNichol rushed in his starting line-up, but Testwuide guarded Joey Schaaf, leader in the intercollegiate scoring column, for several minutes. Finally breaking away to score ten points in eight minutes, the leading scorer in the country raised his total to 288 and sealed the victory for Penn. With an eleven point lead to overcome, the undaunted Garnet team rallied and uncovered a remarkable passing attack, scoring several points before the whistle blew. The final score was 29-22. Off form and unable to get under way, Swarthmore went down to a crushing defeat, 56-21, as the Hopkins passers scored almost at will in a listless, poorly played game. Prospects for the Haverford game looked poor indeed. Haverford won the traditional contest for the third successive year, and closed the Garnet season with a 36-30 defeat. The score alternated during the first half as JOHNSON DELLMUTH Page Two Hundred and Forty-one HALCYON lP| of 1QZ9 - McDiarmid and Dellmuth upheld the Swarthmore scoring honors. The end of the first half found Swarthmore trailing Haverford, 18-21. The game slowed up considerably until the score was tied at twenty-seven all in the middle of the last half. But the last five minutes spelled defeat for Swarthmore as Haverford made eight tallies to their opponents ' one. The final score was 36-30, the first time since 1923 that the game had been decided by more than three points. Although the 1928 season can hardly be called successful in the number of games won, it showed that a new team could be developed out of the material on hand, and, since the regulars are all under-classmen, brings forth bright prospects for future seasons. Most of the players will be able to play together for three more years and should develop into a skilled and experienced team.

The nine faced an extremely difficult schedule, including Army, Navy, Penn, Princeton, Rutgers, and Lehigh. Unfavorable weather caused the cancellation of the St. John ' s, Delaware, Princeton, and Franklin and Marshall games. A notable victory over the University of Pennsylvania 7-3, was the climax of the season, while the traditional game with Haverford, a pitching duel between Gates and Supplee, was lost by the scant margin of one run, Coach Dunn started the season with a nucleus of seven lettermen, and soon found promising material in Gillette, Johnson, McCook, W. McFeely, Redman, and Tipping. A fair team was rounded into shape, the greatest weaknesses being in the lack of pitching material and the batting of the team. Most of the games were rather loosely played, and Swarthmore took two decided slumps, one of three defeats in April, and another of four straight losses at the end of the season. The season was opened by a 12-8 victory over Osteopathy. Although outplayed for live innings and trailing by five runs, the Garnet batsmen staged a rally late in the game to clinch the victory. Six walks, three hits, and several timely errors enabled nine Swarthmore men to cross the plate in the sixth. The game was played on a wet and windswept Alumni Field and the weather greatly hampered both teams, neither of which exhibited a very good brand of play in the diamond game. Lehigh and Muhlenburg took their toll of victories in the next week. The Lehigh game went to two extra innings, when the Brown and White batters scored three runs in the eleventh to win, 10-7. In a careless game full of errors, the Muhlenburg nine routed the Sv arthmore team, scoring fourteen runs to one. Muhlenburg bunched its W ' ' . ; ' ' ' S?« e- - ' ¥. %.

The team journeyed to West Point the next week to lose a hard fought game, 10-9- The Swarthmore batsmen, after being held scoreless for six innings and trailing the home team by nine tallies, tied the count with a nine run rally in the seventh. Bert Adelman crashed out a pair of triples with men on base each time, and Richards starred in the Garnet batting list. The Army scored their winning run in the seventh, and the score remained as it was until the end of the game. Due to the superb pitching of Howard Gates, who held the Red and Blue batsmen to seven scattered hits and turned them back scoreless for eight innings, Swarthmore emerged victorious over the University of Pennsylvania. It was the first time the Little Quakers had defeated their old rivals in this sport since 1921. The score was 7-3- Jim Burr saved the day when he cleared the bases in the ninth inning and brought in three runs to tie the score. Timely hits by McCook and McGuire in the tenth brought in four runs, clinching the contest. The Navy game proved disastrous, the Middies winning by a 16-2 score. The team, displaying a complete reversal of form from that shown in the Penn game, went down to a crushing defeat as the Navy sluggers rapidly amassed their tallies in the third and eighth innings. Swarthmore defeated Schuylkill, 8-7, and Ursinus, 4-3, in the next week. A three run rally in the last half of the ninth gave Swarthmore the winning margin after the Reading team led, 7-5, at the beginning of the last inning. With two men out, the team displayed the same fight which enabled them to win the Penn game, and its scoring punch brought in three runs as Adelman, Petriken, and McCook staged a Page Two Hundred and Forty-six HALCYON W mof IQZQ 7 slugging carnival. A home run by Baum with two men on base was responsible for the victory over Ursinus. A beautiful hit over the center fielder ' s head brought in McGuire and Richards to score the winning runs. The team lost a close decision to Stevens in twelve innings, being on the wrong end of a 7-6 score. The Garnet got off to a good start in the second inning, crossing the plate four times. Two more were tallied in the seventh but Stevens tied in the ninth and finally won out after an extra inning of struggle. Drexel and Rutgers took their measure in the next two games, the first by an 8-3 score and the second by a 13-8 margin. The first was a loosely played contest and the second a slugfest. McCook was the outstanding hitter of the Drexel game with two runs and a homer to his credit. Rutgers seemed to score almost at will and staged a disastrous rally in the seventh when they twice cleared the bases, once by a two-bagger and again with a home run. McGuire stopped this rally by catching two fast ones at shortstop barehanded. He was easily the star of the game, handling eight assists with only one error. The last contest of the season was with Haverford, and was one of the closest and most exciting. The Red and Black won by a one point margin, 2-1. The game was featured by good fielding and air tight pitching by both Gates and Supplee, the Haverford twirler. Gates struck out nine men while the Red and Black ace fanned twelve. Neither team was able to score in the first five innings of the struggle. Richards crossed the plate in the sixth on Supplee ' s error and tallied the lone score for the Garnet. Gates pitched fine ball until the eighth inning when he loosened up and allowed Haverford four hits and the two runs which won the game. Haverford filled the bases with three straight hits and scored the winning runs on an error and a fourth hit. Page Two Hundred and Forty-seven A HALCYON WK Fiof IQZQ 7 ■ T ' - ' t :. . ■  V7 ' X kSS.

Dutton and Parrish both gave stellar performance, in spite of the handicap of torn ligaments. In the first meet, a triangular event with Temple and Drexel, the Garnet scored more than the other two teams combined, with eleven firsts out of a possible fourteen. Art Baker, holder of the Middle Atlantic distance record took two of the firsts b y capturing both shot and discus. Norton showed fine form in the high hurdles, coming in ahead of Parrish, the Freshman, who later galloped ahead of the field in the low hurdles run. Burt Lewis broke the college record in the next race by clipping down the mile time to 4:29 4 5. He lapped three men at the finish and crossed the line easily 250 yards in front of his running mate, Tom Rathmell. The final score of the meet was: Swarthmore 721 , Temple 33, and Drexel ISl - On the twenty-third of April the Garnet trackmen submerged John Hopkins in a close meet. The score was tied until the last event, when Grant put the affair on ice by tieing for first place in the pole vault. With Lewis setting the ball rolling by taking first place in the mile run, the Swarthmore cindermen claimed nine first places, and qualified in every event. Not content with his work-out in the mile, Burt felt that he should finish his exercise with a first in the half. Toby Maxwell raised the Garnet score three points in the same race. Parrish chalked up two firsts for the Garnet by crossing the high hurdles ahead of Norton, and by staging a run away with the low gates. Again, Baker took his usual firsts in the shot and discus without exerting himself. Ed McFeely took third place in the shot, being barely beaten out of second honors by a Hopkins man. Rust proved himself best in the high jump, as Norton, unable to cope with Quirk of Hopkins, received the lone tally. McKeag, the only Swarthmore man entered in the broad jump, had to be content with second place. Dutton displayed fine spirit in the 100 and 220 dashes, but being harassed by an • LEWIS, C.

Although Brown could only amass a single credit in each of these events, he showed very j I promising material for future years. In a closely contested quarter mile, Severence of ' ' ■ Hopkins broke the tape just ahead of Alden, a Garnet yearling. The Garnet took high I score in the javelin, with Spangler and Wagner placing first and second. The final score of the meet showed a Garnet victory by 63-61 points. j I On April 30th the relay team went to the Relay Carnival with full expectation s of bringing home the plaque, but due to a misunderstanding on the part of the com- mittee, the race was run without them. However, in a special race the Garnet was ; able to equal the time made in the previous event, and the members of this quartet, j i Maxwell, Brown, Dutton and Parrish, although they received no credit from the 1 1 judges, deserve ample praise for their exhibition. Art Baker took a second place in i I the discus with a heave of 133 feet and IOI 2 inches, falling a good five feet short of his usual mark. However, in the next meet at Bethlehem, Art handed the plate a record flight of I I 143 feet 81 inches, breaking his own college record of the year before. Even though j I Maxwell pranced in with his usual first in the half-mile and Lewis brought five credits I ; to the Garnet in his mile by a nicely timed sprint, the Lehigh men gave the Swarth- morians a hard day all the way. Spangler and Wagner did their part by taking first and third in the javelin and Dutton showed his usual fight as he tied Clayton for a dead heat in the century. Jack pulled a ligament in this race, and was therefore unable to enter the 220 and broad jump as he had planned. Tom Rathmell took a close second in the mile run. Baker and Parrish were high scorers with two first places each. The score, 68-58. By breaking three college records and taking first place in every event but the discus, the Haverford track stars handed the Garnet its only defeat of the season. Parrish ran against record times and was forced to take a third place in each of his two hurdling events. He pressed the leaders persistently over the whole course and it is due to his forcing that two records fell. Dutton ' s leg was still in bad shape, but he took the hundred and carried away a second in the 220, in spite of his handicap. Page Two Hundred and Fijty-tuv HALCYON ■Pj oJ IQZQ 7 SPANGLER PARRISH BROWN Haverford ' s victory was really the result of an exceptionally strong field event team. Their shot put hung up a new college record of 43 feet 5I 2 inches. Lewis, Baker, Maxwell and Clothier did their best to pull the meet out of the fire by taking their events, but it was too late, and the Garnet had to finish with the short end of a 75-51 score. Swarthmore qualified but seven men in the Middle Atlantics the following week. Thirteen points were scored by the Garnet, but Haverford and N. Y. U. ran away with the meet. Swarthmore was awarded seventh place. Baker ' s performance with the discus brought in the only first place for the Garnet.

Starring the season under the first year of Coach Thomas Strobahr ' s tutelage and under the leadership of Field Captain Lang, who was elected in the absence of Captain McFeely, a trio of victories over Princeton, St. Johns and Stevens pointed to a remarkable season. The fourth game, played with Johns Hopkins under adverse weather conditions, was the first setback. The Garnet stickmen then came back to score a shutout victory over Lafayette but dropped the last two games to Pennsylvania and Army. The opening game was played with Princeton on the latter ' s field, where the ' Garnet team earned one of the most brilliant victories of its season, winning, 10-9. The game was fast and featured by good offensive play by both teams. Swarthmore led at half-time, 6-2, but the Tigers came back at the start of the second half with three goals. Swarthmore, however, never relinquished the lead, keeping at least a one goal margin of advantage until the final whistle. Ferris Thomsen, a Freshman, from Baltimore Friends ' School, was the outstanding star, scoring 8 of Swarthmore ' s 10 goals, while the work of Bishop and DeGroot on defense was a big factor in down- ing Princeton ' s second-half threat. On the following Saturday, Swarthmore opened her home season with a 6-3 win over St. John ' s. The Garnet amassed a 4-0 lead in the first half, and with this advantage was never seriously threatened. St. Johns rallied in the second period to score three goals but at no time during the game did they come within two points of Swarthmore ' s total. Rickards and Thomsen led the attack, while Acting Captain Lang played a pretty defense game. The victim of the third straight victory was Stevens Tech. This was a hard- fought game with the Hoboken boy s fighting every minute, but they were outplayed in all departments by the home team. Rickards led the scoring for the Garnet and DeGroot ' s excellent work at goal kept many Stevens shots from tallying. BISHOP, CAPTAIN-ELECT STROBAHR, COACH LANG, FIELD CAPTAIN REYNOLDS, MANAGER Page Two Hundred and Fifty-seven HALCYON p WoJ IQZQ 7 THOMPSON The Garnet twelve travelled to Baltimore the following week to taste defeat at the hands of the strong Johns Hopkins team. A driving rain made the field a sea of mud and the Swartmore defense was helpless against the onset of the better-shod Hopkins attack. Led by Biddison, one of the best attack men in the country, they piled up fifteen goals. Swarthmore ' s lone tally was scored by Ferris Thomsen in the second period. Swarthmore staged a come-back the next week by shutting out Lafayette, 7-0, in the last home game of the schedule. This contest was necessarily loose and sloppy because of a heavy rain throughout. Lafayette, playing only its second year of lacrosse, was no match for the home team. The ball was constantly in Lafayette territory and Vage Two Hundred and Fijty-eight HALCYON m P i of IQZq 7 the up-state aggregation was able to shoot only eight shots at the goal the whole game, and most of these were from a safe distance. The next game, played with Pennsylvania on Franklin Field, was the most bitter defeat of the season, as it was the first time our Philadelphia rivals have beaten us in lacrosse for five years. The game was hard-fought throughout and marked with many penalties and minor injuries. The Red and Blue got away to an early lead and were ahead 5-3 when the half-time whistle blew. Swarthmore staged a fighting come-back to tie the score at 5-5 in the last period, but Penn again took the lead, and the game ended with the score 8-6. The defeat was due mainly to poor passing and failure to shoot accurately when the opportunity came. Hank Ford and El Bishop played the best games for the Garnet. A defeat at the hands of Army concluded the schedule. Both teams showed an Page Two Hundred and Fijly-nine HALCYON WP joJ IQZQ 7 n ' J ' ' HEWARD SHARPLES HAVILAND excellent brand of lacrosse, but the size and strength of the West Pointers was too much for Swarthmore. The Army led 5-2 with only fifteen minutes to play when a late Swarthmore rally brought the score to 5-4. This threa t fell short however, and the Cadets caged one more goal to win 6-4. Although defeated, the Garnet stickmen played in this game one of the best of their season. The defense especially, put up a good game, with Ford, Castle, and DeGroot starring. Throughout the season the steady work of Acting Captain Lang, Jack DeGroot, and El Bishop was largely responsible for holding opposing attack men in check. Because of his consistent game at first defense for the past two years, El was chosen to lead the 1928 twelve. Rickards and Thomsen were the most consistent scorers, while Hank Ford distinguished himself for his midfield play. The season was a decided success with four victories and three defeats, two of which were decided by two-point margins. Because of the loss of eight men from the 1926 team. Coach Strohbar had the task of developing this team largely from inexperienced material, and he can we ll be proud of his first year ' s work as coach in shaping up such a winning combination. Nine members of this team graduated in June and the 1928 team will also have to be molded from inexperienced players. The defense will be built around Bishop, Ed McFeely, and Tom Sharpies, while Vin Bush, Ferris Thomsen, Whitey Reward, and Benny Haviland will be the nucleus of the attack. Thomsen, Heward, and Havi- land are all Freshmen, and promise to play important roles in the history of Swarth- more Lacrosse during the next few years.

Coach Dunn partially made up for the loss of several of last year ' s letter men with former squad men and two Freshmen, Bond and Potts, who showed particular skill at the game. The season ended with eleven letter men, only two of whom are Seniors — a pleasant outlook for next year. In the first game, Princeton administered a defeat to the Garnet hooters with the score 3-5. The team straightened out and conquered Lafayette, 3-0, in the second game. Haverford, the traditional rival, accounted for the second defeat with its customary strong team — the score was 0-3. In the games with Lehigh and Delaware, Swarthmore hit its stride and won two games with the scores 2-0 and 4-0. The combination of a muddy field, a rainy day and several Olympic players on the Lion ' s aggregation resulted in a decisive shut-out by Penn State at State College. The score was 0-11. In the last two games on the schedule, the Garnet players defeated Franklin and Marshall, in a close game 1-0. The final game was played with Navy in which the Garnet aggrega- tion caused the sailors to lose their letters by winning with a 2-1 score. Due to the inexperience of the team. Coach Dunn started a round of winter soccer to put the team on its mettle for the 1928 season. Captain Moore was high scorer for the season. Captain-elect Adelman starred at goal. Bond, Bringhurst, Coles, Johnson, and LeCron, collectively, helped the team through its difficult season by their teamwork and brilliant fighting.

Ably coached by Charles Bagley, the Garnet netmen went through a successful season, losing only three out of thirteen matches. Cornell, Navy and the University of Pennsylvania were the three powerful teams that succeeded in defeating the Swarthmore aggrega- tion. The points scored by the Garnet racket men more than doubled those scored by the opposing teams, 65-28 — an excellent record. Captain Johnson played third on the team. His steady playing was responsible for more than one victory. Captain-elect Hammell ranked first throughout the season, playing his matches with skill and precision. Nicely played second on the team and was the only Swarthmore player to win his match with the Cornell team. The scores of the sets were 6-1, 6-4. The first match of the season was played with P. M. C. on the Wharton courts. It was a decisive victory for Swarthmore, the final score being 7-0 — the first shut-out administered by the Garnet players. The first defeat came in the third match played with the Navy. Following it came two easy wins over the southern colleges, Wash- ington and Lee and the University of North Carolina, on May 2 and 4. Cornell spoiled the winning streak with the score 6-1 at Ithaca on May 6. In the next six matches the Garnet team marked up six victories. In the Lehigh tourney, Hammell made Neil Sullivan, an intercollegiate champion, taste defeat in a thrilling match, the scores being 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. The Delaware match resulted in the second shut-out administered by the Swarthmore netmen during the season. Captain Johnson ' s men composed the only tennis team that was able to defeat the Haverford players. The season terminated in a hard fought, close match with the Penn team from which the opponents emerged victors by a narrow margin — the score was 4-5. The 1928 season certainly has a bright outlook, if the performance of last year ' s letter men and this year ' s Freshman can be judged as proof.

Out of six games played this year, four were victorious. The backfield was weakened by the loss of Ginny Melick, left half-back; Gert JoUs, left full-back, and Frances Bates, right full-back. The team also felt the loss of its captain, Sal Percy, who played goal. The first game, played with Swarthmore Club, was one of the most exciting and best supported games of the season. Although the score was 2-1 at the half, with Swarthmore Club in the lead, the game ended a 4-3 victory for the Varsity, thanks to Mary Walton, who shot two balls into the cage in the last quarter. The next week, the home eleven made a valiant defense against the Merion Cricket Club ' s famous players, but were forced to yield with a score 4-3. Ursinus bowed to the Garnet team, 10-1, in spite of their stubborn resistance. Swarthmore ' s 8-1 defeat at the hands of Bryn Mawr on Armistice Day was a fast game, unfortunately marked by several injuries. The hard drives of the forward line, especially those of Mary ' Walton and Natalie Harper, made it a plucky fight to the last whistle. The game with the Merion Cricket Club was cancelled because of rain. A second game was played with Swarthmore Club on Monday, November l4. Chick Harper made five points for the ' Varsity, while Ken Bagley scored one for the Club. Swarthmore, by a score of 14-0, broke George ' Washington ' s record of victories in the last game of the season. Louise Omwake, the George ' Washington goal keeper, shared the honors of the game with Mary ' Walton, who scored five goals. The slippery condition of the field added to the excitement and amused the spectators. Captain Anne Kennedy succeeded in making the All-Philadelphia Reserve Squad, and although Mary ' Walton attended but one team practice, she received honorable mention. Next year the Varsity team will be led by Lee Tily, whose fast playing in the back-field has made her invaluable to the team since her Freshman year. Although we are losing Captain Anne Kennedy, Betty Vaughan, Liz Jenkins, and Marion Pratt by graduation, there will still be left many star players to guarantee our success next year.

More interest and support has been shown to the team than ever before, which is most promising for the future. The team itself has made marked improvement in endurance. It suffered because some of its best contestants graduated last year: Frances McCafferty, Lois Thompson, and Adelaide Israel. The schedule was a difficult one. The Garnet lost the first meet, on March third, to Central Y. W. C. A., champions of Philadelphia for four years, by a score of 36-14. The second meet was at Bryn Mawr. After winning the relay, Swarthmore brought the final score to a victory of 26-24. The most difficult meet of the season was against New York University, who defeated us 35-15. Pool records were broken by two of the members of the N. Y. U. team, both of whom are Olympic swimmers: Ethel McGary broke the record for the hundred yard dash, previously held by Marion Geare, and the forty yard dash held by Temple University; Esther Foley, Olympic diver, broke the record for breast stroke, previously held by Lois Thompson. The last meet was held in our own pool. Adelphi was defeated by a score of 40-10. With the help of Olive Filer, who had been ill during the past two meets, the Garnet was adjudged first place in every event. This was the fourth meet this season in which Marion Geare won first place in the back stroke. Gertrude Sanders, captain, has piloted the team through a fine season and the outstanding work of Olive Filer should make her an able leader for next year ' s team.

The team has now won 29 games in succession. The season opened with a decisive defeat of Stroudsburg State Teacher ' s College, hitherto undefeated, 59-38, which proved to all spectators that the team had no intention of resting on its laurels, but was going into the season with a bang. Rosemont, a new opponent, proved surprisingly tough and it was only after a struggle that the team triumphed, 51-24. Swarthmore Club and Adelphi College succumbed without any difficulty, 56-23 and 61-25, respectively. This marked the seventh consecutive victory over Adelphi. By this time everybody was holding their breath and seeing possibilities of a third undefeated season. Everything depended on the last two games. The Alumnas capitu- lated in a return game after a hard and very interesting match, 65-35. Then Ursinus was overwhelmed, 73-25, in what was, in spite of the score, the cleanest and best fought out game of the season. The game with George Washington was the first game away from their own floor; and perhaps the most important game to be played. Rooters chewed their tickets anxiously, but from the very first the Swarthmore sextette showed that they were still on top. They romped around the big floor, turning its unaccustomed largeness to their own advantage, with beautiful passwork and clean getaways, and emerged triumphant at the final whistle with the score 63-20. The most exciting game of the season lay ahead.

Their team took the lead with a rush, and held it for nearly the whole first half, both teams fighting like demons and excitement at its highest pitch. Then Swarthmore took a long breath, forged steadily ahead, and stayed there, in spite of desperate rallies, finishing her twenty-ninth victory at 51-26. This game ended a brilliant season, Swarthmore scoring 479 points to her opponents 218. Swarthmore has good reason to be proud of her brilliant team. It was feared at first that the loss of Alice Jenkinson would upset the team, but Ruey Sieger stepped into her shoes with perfect ease, coordinating with her diminutive side-center, Mary Walton, to make a perfect center of the floor combination.

She was preceded by her attend- ants dressed in robes of pastel shades: Diane Folwell, ' 28; Mary Lou Robison, ' 28; Amy Loftin, ' 29; Caroline Robison, ' 29, and her maid of honor, Jean Fahringer, ' 30. The queen, Ruth McCauley, ' 27, wore a robe of silver, and the flowers she carried were pale pink. She came through an aisle where white-clad maypole dancers cheered; and, at the throne, was crowned with a wreath of roses: Swarthmore ' s Queen of the May. After the coronation, four dancers, Betty Lou Thompson, ' 29; Olive Deane, ' 28; Alberta Sauter, ' 27; Nancy Deane, ' 30, who had been standing nearby, danced before the queen a dance of spring. And the four maypoles, one by one, were wound and unwound for the queen ' s pleasure, each pole by its own class: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior. There followed the procession from the throne to the east steps. Here the Seniors sang farewell to the Juniors who would take their place, and here the May Queen came, with her attendants and dancers, to bow farewell.

Maypole dancers filed in, giggling, and looking out of place. Four dancers tripped in, scantily clad, and threatened with pneumonia. The queen ' s attendants stalked by, dressed like angels. The Queen! Oh, the Queen! She came with her hair getting in the way of her eyes, and her train getting in the way of her feet. She was pleased with, but rather scared of photographers. She mounted to her throne, not quite falling, and was crowned with a dandelion wreath far too big. She then sat down flop — very suddenly. And the dancers fell up and down in unison before her. The Maypole dances, next in order, were made interesting by mistakes. By the time the dances were over, the teeth of the audience were rattling. The dancers, the Queen, her court, all filed out unnoticed. May Day was over.

WALTER ' S WRITES WONDERFUL WRITEUP A world-famous magazine, School and Society, has recently published an article by Dean Raymond Walters, contributor, editor, and subscriber to this magazine. The article is entitled , ' ' Why Read the Atlantic Monthly, or, How to Enter Swatmore. In telling how important the Atlantic Monthly is the Swatmore aspirant. Dean Walters says that only one in ten applicants is admitted to our midst, and of this number, a fraction read the Atlantic Monthly and the rest say they do. These figures are very revealing, and have never before been published. Friday, the Thirteenth : Compre- hensive exam designed to scare stu- dents into honors work. This exam will be held in alternate seats. Re- member the honor system: You are being watched. The Cracker Room is now open. Free wooden spoons on Christmas and New Year. ATTRACTIVE ADDITIONS Three new maids have just been procured who have been given the ex- clusive task of scraping the butter off! the dining room ceiling. They will also remove all bread and lettuce leaves from any gentleman ' s shoulder. Mrs. Calahan claims that she is liav- ing quite a time breaking- them in. We wish her joy.

NEW EDUCATIONAL TOUR APPLAUDED BY THE DEAN WEEKLY EXCURSIONS WILL BE ARRANGED BY DEAN WALTERS In a tlrrilling- speech made in col- lection yesterday, the dean blush- ingly thanked the boys for their hearty co-operation in arranging such a well-organized plan for seeing the seamy sides of life at the Gayety Theatre. Hearty thanks were ex- tended to Will McChef, and from on, he will be the dean ' s right-hand man. Dr. Adler has admitted the failure of his lecture on Psyehologj ' . He will abandon the Inferiority Com- mittee to join Mr. McChef. Box cars have already been ordered for next Monday evening. DIETICIAN DECREES DIFFERENT DINNER AND DESERT DIETS BRIERLEY ' S BUXOM BEAUTI ES PREPARE POTATOES AND PEANUTS We have now reached the end of the old grey mare, which died when the oldest inhabitant of Swatmore was very young, and so must change our daily diet. Thus spake Miss Brierley as she gathered her buck- some beauties about her in an effort to plan bigger and better meals for the dining- room. How about baked potatoes and peanut salad, some one exclaimed; we haven ' t had those for a long time. And so, without more ado, it was decided at a meeting of the food furnishers, that from thence to infin- ity we should have baked potatoes and peanut salad. Welcome Change The students had for a long time been complaining that there was no novelty in the diet, so the pleasing- change to peanuts and potato should be welcomed by all. Peanuts must not necessarily be served with the grass and lettuce, but can be mixed in almost any food. Grape-nuts and ice-cream are only two examples of the versatility of this food. A pea- nut concession from the bookstore has been made with Miss Brierley, so that all left-over peanuts may be gi ' ound into the meat-pie, potatoes, cake icing, etc. By this concession an ample supply is afforded, so that the students will have plenty of chance to get tired of the new diet before another change must be made. Baked potatoes, though they can- not be used in such versatile connec- tions and cannot be disguised as well as peanuts, are another innovation very welcome. A census has been taken, in which it has been estimated that up until breakfast this morning, no Swatmore student had had baked potatoes since supper the evening be- fore. Under such conditions we doubt whether they will tire of baked pota- toes. Besides, the supply is unlim- ited, or at least seems so.

By no means should we advise you to waste your time in social affairs, fuss or attend colliteh dances. We do not have to advise you to play bridge or allow anything to interfere with your studies. We don ' t advise it — you Avon ' t need to be advised in these respects. STUPID OPINION I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate the chapter rating which you sent our club. Personally I made out pretty badly — I did not deserve all double E ' s ' cause I don ' t neck with college men. I mean I don ' t always.

Accordingly in this first edi- tion of the Swatmore Fiendish, we will live up to our old tradition (blessed word), and give the students of this Colliteh some advice. We are sure they will profit by it, and read it diligently, since it has appeared from time to time in this sheet before, we give here only a hint of what to do to make a success out of colliteh. Before coming- to colliteh read the Atlantic Monthly; after you have been admitted, you needn ' t worry about it. After you have entered colliteh by all means go out for ath- letics, support debating, attend Sun- day Meeting, go out for minor sports, study hard, come in to collection on time, observe silence at lunch, go to all lectures, take an interest in cur- rent events, take honors work, be quiet in library, and so on, ad infini- PLAYS OF THEiWEAK FUSSING — amusing comedy which never makes a pretense of being any- thing more than an evening ' s enter- tainment.

PORTFOLIO PUBLISHES PROSE AND POETRY Tlie latest is out now : the Port- folio has been published. Many sub- scribers were surj rised and pleased but more surprised, etc., to see this issue, hot from the press, including some of the prosy and poetic effu- sions of Swarthmore ' s literati. A short story by Miss Flexible and a clever treatise is. Bad Good, by Everrisque Mun-ay, complete the list of talented contributions. From reliable sources that is in Everrisque ' s estimation, the Port- folio is without doubt the most out- standing literary magazine now pub- lished at Swarthmore Colliteh.

Les jeunes gens settle themselves on the first few rows where the professor can be in close touch with them. Elle aime les jeunes gens. Their master ' s voice — Boys, dispense with your newspapers — this is no time for newspapers, no time for frivolity — you must interest yourselves in your work. Did you come to college — le college — to read the newspapers? — pour lire les journaux? Repetez, Monsieur Cornell. (But the dormouse is asleep again) . Ah, M. Cornell, I am very disappointed in you — no, don ' t bother to repeat it now — too late — go stand in the corner and mend your ways. No, turn your back to the class. Let this be a lesson to you. You are very naughty. Vous etes tres mechant, oui, oui, oui. Alors, la class — le roi tue le chevalier (taking a piece of chalk). Moi, je suis le roi — (pointing to the chalk) voila le chevalier — p auvre homme! And the chalk is ground beneath the heel of the formidable professor as she points in glee to the last remains. Alors, M. Coles, repetez. La classe, M. Coles a une jolie soeur, Marguerite (as M. Coles blushes to the roots of his famous long eyelashes) . M. Coles, stop and see me after class. Oui, la classe, il a une jolie, tres jolie soeur — Marguerite. Great noise down the corridor. Where is the dean, why does he permit this! I shall go and attend to it immediately. Moi, je vais — And so it continues as she wanders up and down the halls finally entering the room from the back, still mumbling profusely. Alors, M. Ferris — repetez — le roi — M. Ferris, Fm afraid you were not paying attention. M. Cornell, did I tell you to return to your place? Certainly not — well, then, remain in the corner. La classe, M. Ferris thinks he ' s quite a man, but he ' s really only a child, just a child.

Alors continuez. ... One day this illustrious cousin was paying a visit on Miss Bronk (today it is known as crabbing the course, mais non, pas i ele — c ' est un gargon excellent) . At any rate he was calling on said professor and the relative merits of telephones were being discussed. Miss Bronk — Oh no, no indeed — I couldn ' t have a telephone — too much trouble — too much bother — never have a telephone — would ring all the time — couldn ' t be bothered. Telephone rings. Miss Bronk calmly rises and exits with complete composure. After a moment she returns with that inimitable walk of hers (a wavy motion best describes it) . She seats herself equally composedly and looks the youth calmly in the eye — with a bit of a twinkle in her own. Couldn ' t fool you that time — could I! One evening some of the students took a cow from the stable. They found this one too rambunctious so they returned it and got another. This animal they carried upstairs and tied to the door of Miss Bronk ' s room in Parrish. Finally the rattling of the chain led her to open the door to find the cause of the disturbance. She was greeted by the cow and a friendly but rather perplexed moo. We wonder whether or not she approached the cow to get a more advantageous view of her organs of articulation, and said — ' Wet up your lips! Now — mu — not moooooooo! No discourtesy is meant or implied — no aspersions cast at any one. We merely wish to revive a bit of the humor that was, back in the vivid past; and only wish that there were some to liven up the dead present.

TEDITOP GdXS CRA V Betsey Clack--- A Tribute Fellow Classmates: As we receive our diplomas on a certain day in June in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, there will be one among us who will not only have secured the number of credits required for the possession of such a certificate of learning, but who will have striven bravely to keep high the standards of the customs and traditions of Swarthmore College. She comes from the west, and has contributed to the life of the college some of its spirit of genuine good-will and friendliness and unending perseverance. She has made these qualities felt not only in the class- room, but also in all the various activities which belong to college life. She is one of those who are worthy of bearing the name of Swarthmore Alumnae, and the spirit which has characterized her work will remain to inspire others.

The professor is crawling around on his hands and knees, fastening the chairs in a straight line with strips of adhesive tape. I was a Math major once, he mutters bitterly, and I cannot bear disorder. People are so disorderly. If I could only have a nice little row of pots to pour rhings into, it would be so wonderful. He finishes and scuttles to the desk. The class begins to saunter in, while the professor counts them on his fingers. Unfortunately just as he gets them all finished, some more come in, and he has to start back with his thumb again. There is a leisurely sound of adhesive tape ripping. The professor clutches at his white hairs — and upsets his counting. He starts over again. Its all right, Doctor, assures rhe unofficial boss of the class, They ' re all here. He sighs with relief, takes out two bricks and a ripe tomato and arranges them symbolically on his desk. Then he looks dissatisfied. Something is lacking. He beams, and draws from his hat a lump of clay. He squeezes it beatifically. Thus, he declares, Can I mould my life! He leaps to his feet and scribbles strange symbols with colored chalk on the blackboard, Or draw it, he chortles. It does look rather like a nightmare at that. He turns, adds a footnote, Symbols of Free Will. He is in full stride. The class produce cigarettes and candy and prepare to enjoy themselves. From his pocket the professor takes a chicken. What significance has ther humble objea before you have in connection with ther great novel by Masketiovitch Dalmontosky? he demands, waving it above his head. MEAT! roars the class, and starts for the desk. The professor hastily throws the chicken out of the window. Er . . . what do you think of ther book as ... as a whole. Miss Blank? The class subsides. Say, doctor, booms the Enfant Terrible of the class, think this book is a fraud. don ' t think any woman would have acted like that. It isn ' t true to the Deepest Things in Life. The other Enfant Terrible — grunts! Say, old man, says the Man of the World. I ' m afraid you don ' t know very much about Women, don ' t you know. The class rocks. The professor smiles nervously and rubs his hands. This is all very interesting, very interesting, but I should like to suggest a perfectly wonder- ful idear that came to me about this book. I don ' t — hem! — usually boast, but I think this is the most wonderful idear that anyone ever had. Can we not consider Caterinsky Ivanovnitsky the symbol of Humanity. ' The two Enfants Terribles, both together Oh, Doctinrr! . . . The professor grabs a gas mask and hurriedly puts it on. We will now discuss the matter of dreams, he muners dreamily. Dreams are rhe most wonderful things in life. I should advise you all to take a good course in dreams sometime. They will bring to light your sublimated subconsciousness, make you . . . But the class has taken his advice. And so on far, far into the year. _J Page Two Hundred and Ninety-six HALCYON WPl oF IQZQ JU5T wx m jt -t AND mv NO STAGLNKrioN UO-LOUTATWO A I20SE AMONG.

What he left may be interesting enough, but it is not half so important as the question, What will his beneficiaries receive? As a protection to the beneficiaries of a life insurance policy, the insurance companies and trust companies have cooperated in formulating a Life Insurance Trust Plan, designed to protect heirs against the possibility of losing their in- heritance through unwise investments, and to assure them a steady and dependable income with safety of principal. Under the Trust Agreement the insured may set forth such instructions as he wishes for the management of the funds and the payment of income to his heirs. A specimen form outlining the typical provisions of a Life Insurance Trust will be mailed upon request Girard Trust Company BROAD AND CHESTNUT STREETS.

There is quality in banking as in merchandising. Nowadays the wideawake business man or woman needs a bank that is more than merely a place to deposit and pay out money. He or she requires, first of all, Safety — A real Safe Deposit Department with special system of locks, insuring protection to customers and bank. Plenty of roomy booths in well ventilated rooms — A Foreign Trade Department that sells letters of credit and travellers checks and finances foreign trade — A modern Trust Department to care for Estates, Personal and Corporate trusts — A Savings Department, which affords young men and women an oppor- tunity of associating themselves with this large commercial bank — Ladies ' reception room. Committee rooms, where customers may hold meetings — Facilities for arranging hotel reservations in New York — Tax Department Service — Inheritance and Estate. In short, the up-to-date business man or woman needs a bank that has the willingness and capacity to co-operate in upbuilding business. These facilities are found at the Vlain Office in the centre of the wholesale district, Second and Chestnut, or at the Central City Office in the shopping and professional district, 15 10-12 Chestnut.

The extracts which _ follow are characteristic of the replies we a (S make to the numerous college men who peri- | odically approach us with the very vital prob- lem of choosing a business connection. In choosing the firm with whom you shall become as- sociated we suggest that you investigate several in various lines of industry, seeking par- ticularly the facts relating to the following fundamental ques- tions: First — Does the company aspire to leadership in its industry and has it a reasonable chance to achieve it ? Second — Is it managed by men of high character and broad vision who are capable of in- spiring an organization to give its best? Third — Is it actuated by the motive of rendering conspicu- ous public service i.e. giving a constantly higher quality of service at reasonable costs, creating a broad public ac- ceptance of its product through advertising? Fourth — Does it provide a liberal basis of stock owner- ship for its employees? Fifth — Does its past record or its present trend indicate prof- its sufficient for its continued growth? If you can find in any industry, the business which measures up to these standards enter its employ without seeking special favors or considerations. Get started and give it your best.

End of Act One, and the players retire behind a delicate screen of the suggestive Japanese variety. They ought to be gobbling water. Act II A burst of Sing we. Chant we. An explanation of how the servants used to be employed because they could sing off. Also congratulations to the college for giving Phil the Drover. Another burst about Amaryllis (or was it Amphyllis). I love, hey ho — I love no more! (Especially appealing to Ted Fetter and Phil Hicks.) Loud applause from the audience.

I get more bids than anyone else around here, in fact I am always getting a big rush. Just now I am dated up for every dance from now until the end of the semester. This popularity began when I first came to college, and has lasted all through my career at college — which is more than any other girl can say, for almost any other girl experiences a let-down sometime — but not I.

Bright: Chi Omega is always at the top of the averages and at the library. Some of us don ' t go to the library for social reasons, though some of us do. We have one of the famous college cases. We are always conscientious. You seem to have the necessary qualifications, so if you want to get a 2.5 average through college we ' ll show you how to do it and be in activities at the same time. We encourage scholarship but don ' t let other things slide. Do you want to be encouraged. ' Hoping against hope that you do, Chi Omega. Miss Serious: We ' re so glad you aren ' t boy ciazy because that isn ' t a prerequisite of entering our club, so you will fit in perfectly with our bunch. We have a congenial crowd, and we are sure we will meet with your approval. We don ' t pay much attention to the trivial things about college. We are very apt to sell sandwiches and ice-cream Thursday night. Won ' t you help us. ' Phi Mu.

Custom has now firmly established the publication, yearly, of a Class Book in nearly every school and col ' lege in the land. As the worth of the earlier Class Books becomes more and more evident to their owners, the urge to make bigger, finer and more complete books becomes stronger in the younger college folk. Thus, today, we find among the biggest and best executed examples of the Designers ' , Engravers ' and Printers ' arts, the Class Books of America ' s great educational institutions. The Collegiate Section of our orgamzation has helped to build some of the very fine of these hoo}{s. Com- plete sympathy with the real purposes of the Class Boo}{ and genuine appreciation of college sentiments and traditions form the gromidwor}{ upon which we have built this section of our business.

The words M font, chase, platen, make-ready , pica, Goudy or Bodoni mean no more to him than the words lapa- rotomy , polyuria, myopia or cholelithiasis. This is re- grettable in a way because the art of printing is a fas- cination; and if you could chase this man in to us, he would see that fascination. He would see, now, a blank piece of paper. Then — presto! — he would have words and pictures to make him want the things they tell about and show. Ours is the business of preparing and producing this type of printed matter. There is ability here to take your product and to present it to the man of the streets in a printed form that will catch his eye, absorb his interest, stir his desire and urge him to action.
