Editor in -Chief F. A. LaBAW, Associate Editor C. W. B. LANE, Gen. Business Mgr. ROSE MORVAY. Co Associate Editor THE COLLEGE OUTLOOK REV. THOMAS S. BROCK The best days of life are the present days. For the voun r, and those not so young:, the e days are golden with op- portunities. America never gave such blessing to its people as today and especially to its young people. The school year has a significant name for its closing. It is the com- mencement of greater things. Livings- ton said: “The end of the exploration i; the beginning of the enterprise.” The end of the exploration of school days mea s the beginning of the enter- prise of life. That life may be out in the arena of affairs or in colle e hall; for larger vision and service. Every- body who can should go to college and in this day more people can who will. But there should be a real reason for going and a high purpose. There are some things about college life that are attractive- the college spirit, athletics, social activities, the cordial fellowships, the joyous happy days of youth—but these are not all; these are somewhat on the surface. The real reason for the college outlook is the opportunity of getting ready for the actual program of life. Just now it may seem a trite state- ment to remark that we must prepare. That is the word of the hour. An old schoolmaster once said: “We should prepare a man for the world by taking him out of the world for a while, to be influenced, not by the spirit of the age, but by the spirit of the ages.” It is not the dramatic moments of life that count the most. It is the quiet planning and study of persons who are getting ready for what may happen two, five or even ten years from now. Recently the writer was asked if he knew that he had only twenty years in which to live, would he not get out in the world at once and do something? And the an- swer given was that if he knew that he had but twenty years in which to live that he would take five of them to pre- pare for the fifteen, knowing that with the fifteen years with preparation he would accomplish more than in the twenty without preparation. The four years in college are not a parenthesis in one’s life, but the plus sign in the equation of life’s program. A half trained man can only do a half man’s work. No one ever yet prepared for victory on the athletic field amid the applause of the grand stand. Vic- tory and applause came as the result of the persistent preparation away from the crowd. Every person to win in the race of life must take the time for train- ing and the colle e days afford the op- portunity for such achievement, ('hance can put a man in a responsible, high salaried position, but chance can ever beep him there. Lincoln wisely said: “I will study and get ready, and maybe my chance will come.” The log cabin days with the open fire and a few books laid the foundation of the studi- ous habits which made his chance pos- sible. The world today has a lot of hard problems for solution. Most of them will be solved by college men and women. Easy problems are never worth solving—the great rewards are always brought by earnest effort. Peo- ple who arc looking for an easy life are not the graduates of our colleges. They have learned that the great thing, the really big thing of life, is not what we can get, but what we can give. They have also learned that God bases His rewards not upon conspicuousness of service, but upon fidelity to oppor- tunity. In this great hour the world needs men more than things. We have been busy making things—wireless telegra- phy and telephone, the submarine, tun- nels and bridges, aircraft and the out- put of a thousand factories. Now we need men and the opportunity of a col- lege training makes possible the larger emphasis upon manhood and woman- hood. A POEM Ml'KIEL FISHER Once more let us join in a tribute of praise To thee. Vineland High School, our voices we’ll raise, How long thou hast guided and guarded our way. As Seniors, we leave thee in sorrow today. I .ike a sculptor, who chisels, with firm, gentle hands. Thou hast fashioned thy children to meet life’s demands, And though we may wander and scatter afar. Thy counsels shall ever he our guiding star. To conquest and slaughter let nations aspire. Drench armies in blood, and wrap cities in fire. Hut crimes of the world shall not crim- son thv name. Where only fair wisdom is worthy of fame. May thy standard of freedom reach every land, Where tyranny rules with a hard, cruel hand. Thine ensign of reason, if widely un- furled. Will end war’s domain and give peace to the world. Thou pride of our fathers who wrought thee with care, That blessings of knowledge their chil- dren might share, Though ages may crumble thy walls to decay Their ruins shall breathe of thy glory today. Thy classrooms and halls will our memo- ries enshrine. Thy teachers will ever our heartstrings entwine. Farewell, dear old High School, our purpose shall be To live as an honor and credit to thee. (ClasB Motto Dn'iis tint ffinriiti” H. A. SAYFORD “It’s not really disagreeable,” I mum- bled. almost inaudibly, to myself, as I slowly waved the bunsen burner under the small beaker of violet colored solu- tion that stood before me in my labora- tory, and, at the same time mechanically watched the mercury column in the tiny thermometer, which rested against the side of the beaker, slowly climbing up- ward. “and yet, I’ll have to admit it isn’t one of the most savory odors in the world,” I continued to soliloquize, “but what of that if”—T-F’—and there I paused, as I had paused many, many times before, after uttering that same little word. It seemed indeed that those two let- ters formed the word that was the ful- crum in the scale which weighed my fate in the balance. On one side loomed fame, fortune, honor, and above all. the realiza- tion that I had done something to bene- fit civilization and humanity—something which would make my name immortal among inventors. Then, on the other side (I shuddered as I thought of it), there hung, like the pall of a dafk cloud, the one word FAILLRF and after that —my imagination ran wild in pictures of ruination, distress and misfortune. I had run the race well, from the very crack of the gun. when I realized that the world, inside of the next few years, must literally starve to death for lack of proper nourishment, because the great world war, like an uncontrollable fire, was snatching the bread from the very mouths of mankind. It was then that the thought came to me, “Why not a chemically manufactured substitute, containing all the nourishment of the bread, meat and potatoes, which are even now being denied us and which promise to become an obscurity in the near future.” Then, as if by a thunderbolt, I was struck by the realization that here was something that I could do for humanity. I became enthused—I thought of it by day and by night—I fairly lived in that one sole ambition. Soon came the time for preparation which meant sacrifice to me. I had only been out of school a few years and, in that short space of time. I had not ad- vanced very rapidly in worldly wealth; but I gladly gave up everything to pro- cure the apparatus and materials I needed. I soon found that I was deny- ing myself this and that and the other thing, which I sorely needed. But what mattered that ? My eyes were set on the goal, and everything else was only as a misty landscape in the setting sun. Here I was, at last, on the home stretch. Nature had slowly unfolded her secrets to me until my prize was fairly within my grasp—the solution of chemi- ' cal preparation, containing all the life- giving qualities of our every day bill-of- fare, was now a reality. I had not been content with one or a few tests. I had maintained life and health, by my solu- tion, in almost every dumb animal con- ceivable. Now there remained but one thing—the supreme test! Before I sealed my fate by that last unchangeable decree, I intended going one step further; I must now change my solution into a gas so that it could be compressed and stored away to be used under the trying circumstances which modern warfare brings about. Even now, the littl mercury column was approaching the two hundred de- gree mark, the temperature at which my solution should volatilize. I held my breath as the mercury reached the mark —the few seconds of suspense seemed like years that laughed in scorn at my fast fading hopes. But then, just as I was about to give up all hope, a faint gray vapor appeared over the solution. As it strengthened it curled up from the beaker in a silvery curl, which seemed to spell, to my tired, strained eyes, the one’ word I longed to see—SUCCESS. In- deed, here was success if—and now the supreme test—if this heavy vapor would only sustain human life? For the next few weeks I lived in agony. I lived in a mortal fear that this last decree should be that my life’s am- bition should fail me on the very verge of success. At last, I steeled my shattered nerves and decided that I would make the final test on myself. As I pondered over it, decided that I would lock myself in my laboratory, set up my generator, and either live by means of it or find death an easy escape from the mockery of de- feat and failure. I placed the formula I knew so well before me on the desk and commenced with nerveless, quivering hand to mix the potion which would mean life or death to me. When I placed the heat under the generator, the mercury seemed to jump to the two hundred mark with in- credible Swiftness; the vapor began to apj)car. As the room became filled with the sweet silvery fumes, it seemed that it was rapidly getting dusk and that I was moving upwards, gradually at first, and then more swiftly. At first I resisted this, determined to stay and see my experiment through; but soon I came out into the warm sun- light again and all about me were bil- lowy white clouds. I became more and more drowsy, until, at last, I closed my eyes and was lost to pleasant dreams of success and fortune. At first there was just a faint hum- ming sound coming from many, many miles away, gradually it came closer and closer. Then there appeared the first grey streaks of dawn. My body was numb, and as the humming be- came almost a roar and the grey dawn was succeeded by the first rays of sun- light. this numbness gave way to the pricking of a thousand needles, as if my whole body had been asleep and was just regaining its sense of feeling. Suddenly, I began to fall as if in an uncontrolled elevator, down, down, I went. I could feel my heels accom- panying my stomach on its way to my head and then we stopped with a jolt —as if we had hit bottom. W ith that. I regained full conscious- ness and opened my eyes to the bright sun which fell full upon me through the nearby window. For perhaps five minutes I sat and tried to collect my thoughts. Where was I ? Why was I all in rags and tat- ters? Why was the plastering falling from the ceiling? Wrhat was the queer- looking apparatus on the table before me, and countless other whens and whvs and whats. “Apparatus”—“Ap- paratus”—far back in the recess of my still sleeping brain there seemed to lurk some answer to that query. Then, like a flash it all came to me— this was the apparatus I had set up to volitize the chemical compound I had discovered which would sustain hu- man life and I was testing it on myself. I walked over to the apparatus, and on examination found gas to be escaping at a lively rate. I soon turned this oflf and decided to go out on the street and buy a paper in order to get the war news. As 1 was nearing the bottom of the steps, a dirty little urchin pointed at me and burst out in peals of merri- ment. Then I remembered my rags. Here again was food for thought. W;hy should my perfectly good suit of clothes he in this condition? As I stepped upon the pavement, a blue-coat grabbed me by the arm. “Come along with me” he accosted curtly, “Maybe we can teach you tramps not to put up nights in empty houses, by accepting your company down in the ‘pen’ for a month or so.” With that frosty remark, he opened the door of his call box and in spite of all of my protests, I was soon seated in the patrol auto being whirled to the “pen.” As we rounded a corner, I happened to notice the inscription on the name plate of a fine palatial residence set far back from the street. To my sur- prise. it read, “Dr. C. Lester Brock.” My be-muddled brain had had no time to settle itself before I was ushered be- fore the rather gruff-looking judge. Before I realized what he was doing he had said, “Thirty days or fifteen dol- lars fine for breaking and entering.” Alas, my wallet contained only a few dollars and some calling cards. I was in despair, but suddenly I thought of Brock, my old friend and classmate, he would help me I felt sure, so I took one of my cards, wrote a few words upon it and asked the Judge to have it taken to Dr. C. Lester Brock. The Judge gave me a sneering smile, but complied with my request. After a few moments of waiting the door flew open and there stood Brock. “Well! you old sinner.” he exclaimed, “what heavenly cloud did you hail from?” Then he turned to the Judge, “You old repro- bate. were you going to jug your old fr:cnd ‘Tinear’ Say ford?” “Pardon me, Mr. Sayford, but allow me to present � udge Mattioli. of the second district court” Virg was a bit skeptical at first, but I soon proved my sincerity and after a congenial hand-shake all around Brock and I departed for the Brock residence. On our arrival there we did not stop at the front door, but continued right ''round to the back door, from whence we proceeded up the back stairs to the Doctor’s den. “You see,” Brock ex- plained, “if we came in the front door, I would have to see a lot'of patients that are not going to be seen today, that's all.” Just then a servant appeared at the door, “Er—pardon me. Doctor, but in your absence I received a tele- gram stating that unless you came im- mediately there would be very little hope for Mayor Ralph Johnson’s life.” “Let him croak, Jones, old man. Ixt him croak, I can’t be bothered by de- tails of business now. Can’t you see ‘Tinear’ and I have to talk?” was Brock’s surprising reply, “and Jones, ------- lock the door, please, as you go out. I think I will be out for a couple of hours, do you understand, Jones?” “Yes, sir, very well, sir,” was Jones' quiet reply as he clicked the lock in the door. Before Brock could get started I shot one question at him. “Brock, Old Man,” I said, how’s the war coming on. are they trimming the Dutchman?” Brock’s eyes and mouth opened simul- taneously, “Why Man,” he exclaimed, “What has affected your nut, didn’t you know the war was ended with Ger- many’s complete defeat in 1921, and this is 1928. Say, “Say,” where on earth have you been for the last few years ?’ ’ Then as I reviewed my past five years’ history for him I began to see then the whole thing myself, how, when, in 1920 I had set up my ap- paratus I had turned the gas on in two bunsen burners and in my excitement lit only one, and that caused the room to be filled with gas, rendering me un- conscious, while at the same time my newly discovered “vaporfood” which was being generated by the other burner, sustained life in me, and thus it was that I had lived in an uncon- scious state for nearly eight years. Brock was determined to surprise me, so he got busy on the wireless telephone and soon had the promises of a number of old friends to come to the house that evening and meet a friend of his who was his guest. We were soon busy with barber, tailor and haberdashers, and when the appointed time rolled around I pre- sented a somewhat more respectable appearance. The bell rang and I was introduced to Rowland Potter, the noted mechanical engineer, who was situated with the Morgan International Construction Co. Hardly had we ceased shaking hands when the bell again rang and this time I was presented to Rear Admiral Francis Avinal La Baw, who, I was informed, had become famous in the great world war against Germany. I noticed that he had somewhat of a “Taylor made” ap- pearance, and upon inquiry I was told that I was correct. The next guest was Franklin Lamb, Editor-in-Chief of the United States News, the first National newspaper. The last to arrive was Madame Mvr-tell Jenkenz, foreign buyer for the Consolidated American De- partment Store syndicate. This digni- fied lady looked very natural because under her arm she carried the old V. H. S. class dues book which, much to my surprise, was still intact and contained the names of every member of the old class that was so dear to our memory. “This is myf party,” exclaimed Brock, climbing on a chair so as to be heard above the clamor of our jovial greetings, “and in order to save Tinear from being literally talked to death I’ll recite for you, in order to quell your ravaging curiosities (it was the same old Brock) Mr. Say ford’s past ten years’ history, after which we will go over the old class roll and see how many names we can identify, after which we will eat.” I knew it was coming for Brock never would slight that important duty. “Cer- nigliaro,” read Myrtle. “Dentist in Washington. D. C,” piped up Potter, and making piles of money, too; gets patients to try to pronounce his name and yanks their teeth while they have their mouths open.” “Fiege,” said Myrtle. “Post Master General,” yelled Balls, “got his job because he could hold more mail in one. hand than any other postman in the country.” “Clift,” sang out Myrtle. “She was one of Dr. Nellie Clair’s Red Cross nurses when she was in France, during the war,” said Brock, “she’s running a big hospital with Mary Thompson as business manager now. I’ll bet Fiege is a frequent patient in that hospital,” ait in I ambie. “Re- gan,” read Myrtle. “Head milliner in one of the big million-dollar shops up on Fifth Avenue,” supplied Lambie. “Fish- er,” said Myrtle. “Oh, she’s a leading lady in that big stock company that’s playing ‘After the War’ at the Metro- politan, I think,” said Balls. “Bobie Graham,” called Myrtle; everybody was silent a moment and then it was Potter who said, “I think he’s sales manager for Bailey, Banks Biddle, of Philadelphia. I guess it was a case of marrying the job. though.” “I guess it’s no use read- ing off Caroline Henderson’s name, be- cause.” said Myrtle, “every one knows she’s the world-famous prima donna.” “I met Hadsell the other day,’’ said I ambie, “he’s ‘directing’ for the Titan Film Producing Corporation, you know, that’s the one Govie owns, and I think, but am not sure, that Dot Smith and Cecil Spencer are the stars of the com- pany.” “They are, I know,” prompted Potter, “and I was reading where Miss Gould had selected Hattie Mennies as her social secretary. I suppose that Blanchea Martez, the swell Fifth Ave- nue Modiste, will get all the Gould trade now.” “You’re getting me all mixed up,” said Myrtle, “now. let me see, Sternberg’s name is next.” “Civil Engineer,” yelled Brock, “same company that Goldman is with.” “I noticed they had a big law suit the other day and Riccio and Taylor, the two prominent attorneys, represented them, those boys are a bird of a team. There is not anybody that can beat them at that game.” “Say, Brock.” exclaimed Potter, “did you know Florrie Frew and Lewie Unsworth are pulling off recitals over in Berlin that people pay five and ten dollars apiece to hear? I tell you there’s some class to the musical talent the old class has developed, isn’t there?” “You bet. but do you really think she likes him?” was Brock’s consoling reply. “I don’t know,” retorted Potter, but I’ll have Rogers, our foreign consul, keep his eye on them.” “Say, Tinear,” said Brock, “here’s one that’ll interest you. Mastrangelo, the railroad magnate, told me the other day that Ethelyn Heming- way was still unmarried, he said she had been left an immense fortune and was backing Alice Ash in her art study.’’ “Catherine Hall comes next,’’ interrupted Myrtle. “Oh, she’s secretary of Siras Harrison, the noted interior decorator,” was Rotter’s contribution. “I wonder if she can still write 120 a minute?” echoed Lambie. “You know I heard the other day,” said La Baw, “that Christine Gra- ham, the physical culture instructor, taught Kitigie, the baseball marvel, how to play the game when he was still in Grammar School, but of course I don’t believe it.” “I don’t know,” said Brock, “I heard that Madeline Mathews taught Bray how to dance when he was only two years old, and just look at the great dansant he’s become.” “I wonder if Florence Russel is still giving recitals?” It was Potter talking, ‘‘she was pretty good at elocution when she was in school, and she’s certainly made a success of it since then.” “I believe the only poetess we had in the class was Frances Chase,” suggested Myrtle, “but she has fame enough to make up for the rest of the class.” “Elizabeth Weidner,” spoke up La Baw, “has been appointed Librarian at the Carnegie Library in Washington, D. C. She’s certainly had a scintillating ca- reer.” “I saw in the paper the other day,” said Brock, “where, at a teachers’ convention in Chicago, Etta Canepa, who was presiding, asked how many teachers were from Vineland, and to her astonishment eight stood up. They were, Eva Rice, Ruth Knoll, Miriam Gillespie, Florence Tregaile, M.Cazazza, Mabel Bordman, Anna Chalmers and Melissa Cook. What do you think of that? And every one of them is mak- ing out splendidly, too.” “That just completes the roll,” piped up Myrtle. “Come on, folks,” announced Brock, “we’ll all move out to the table and give a toast to the huge success of 'l inear’s experiment and invention, and hope that in the future he shall have as much health, wealth and wisdom as the rest of the class seem to have. That’s impossible, joked La Baw. but we do sincerely hope that when he experiments again he’ll have sense enough, at least, to light the illuminat- ing gas after he’s turned it on. We moved out to the table without much coaxing from the already impatient Brock, and gave one more toast to the “Best Class in the World”; it ran like this: “Here’s a toast in homely rhyme To our Oldest Classmate, Father Time, May our last survivor live to be As old and as wise and as good as he. ISTORY f As I sit and dream of what the future may hold for me, I am wont to think of the four happy years which have come to a close—of the four happy years of companionship and friendship with my fellow classmates and teachers who have knit themselves firmly into a net which life can never tear apart, and which will be drawn more closely about me by memory as the jfears go by. First of all come memories of that eventful day when Prof. Reber came into our room with the long list which, when read, revealed to us our fate, which told us whether the golden gates of Vineland High School were open to receive us or closed for another term. We were the largest class, at that time, to graduate from Vi eland Grammar School- we are now the largest class to graduate from Vineland High School. How long ago it seems since we were freshmen, running around the halls seeking a room or imploring an upper classman to help us, or give us advice— yet we were there, and only four years ago. We cannot and will not, however, have anyone think that we were as fresh and green as the Freshmen of these later years. No indeed! We all remember the crowded condi- tion of the old High School building, but we had our fun. Prof. Salisbury’s threat to hang us around the room on hooks, in order to make more room, did not frighten us; it sounded rather in- teresting and—exciting, and excite- ment had its charms for us—then ! (?) We were not hung on hooks, but we stood three deep around the room dur- ing morning assembly, and at all public meetings until, in our junior year, we stepped into our fine new building. Proud? I just guess we were! In the meantime, Howard Sayford, from the Penn Charter School, Phila- delphia, Pa., and Lester Brock, from the Burlington High School, both in their sophomore year, joi ed our ranks. They have both been active in almost every form of athletics, winning their V’s many times over. We were happy to have them with us. (Is it not so, girls?) While we were yet in the old build- ing, Prof. Weidner, of Pottstown, Pa., came to be our principal, bringing with him Elizabeth, his daughter, who joined our class and graduated with us. Several joined us from other school;, including Marian Regan, from Mill- ville, X. J.; Robert Graham, from Col- lingswood, N. J.; Mary Thompson, from Salem, N. J.; Dorothy Smith, from Norwich, N. Y.; Ethelyn Hemmingway, from Cortland, N. Y.; Muriel Fisher, from Minneapolis, Minn.; and Edythe Clift, from Curtis, N. Y. We are sorry that all of those who graduated from Grammar School with us did not grad- uate from High School, but we are espe- cially glad for those who came to us from other schools. We hope they en- joyed our companionship as we have theirs. But I drift from my subject. Al- though in our freshman and sophomore years we had picnics and general good times together, our real fun started with our junior year in the new build- ing. We organized with Howard Sayford as our president and leader and by giv- ing moving picture benefits, having tag day and doing various other things, we managed to earn enough money to give to the senior class a banquet, followed by a reception and dance—the first class to give a banquet. The seniors pronounced the affair a great success. Many will remember the class color fight we had the morning after the class of ’lfi had given one of its numer- ous entertainments in the local theatre. I think it must have occurred on Fri- day, the 13th, for it, like all other of our attempts at doing something big and unusual, ended with the usual sor- row—and loneliness (for a day or two). But we say, to this day that we won and we will not be convinced otherwise. In our senior year we did much. With Francis LaBaw as our president we had the honor to help organize and publish the “Red and Gray,” our school paper, of which we are all so proud. Franklin Lamb, the editor-in- chief, and our senior brother, deserves great commendation for his part in making the paper a success. It was largely through his efforts that the “Red and Gray” survived. Ours was the first class, also, to publish a year book, but we sincerely hope that since we1 have taken the initiative, other classes will follow our example, for we are confident that the record of one’s senior class is one of the things most appreciated in later life. We planned, as a class, to go to Washington as the classes before us had do e for the last two years. They earned their money to go by giving class entertainments and benefits, but we, always original, established the pre- cedent of earning, individually, our money to go on our class trip. (This decision on our part, of course, reminds u . of the entertainment which we gave in the Auditorium for the benefit of our Washington trip—and its results ! Poor “Gabbo” Downs! lie wasn’t a bit fond of being bound to a chair and placed on the stage for general inspection, so the entertainment, though a success finan- cially, ended rather sorrowfully (f) and deprived us, for several days, of some of our classmates. But we are only allowed to think sadly of that part in our very inmost thoughts. Shhhhh!) At Christmas time we enjoyed a class party in the school lunch room, where, with the help of the Victrola, we had a dance and a general good time. When Miss Beekley, who was our sci- ence teacher, and Prof. Long, our ex- history teacher, left us in February, we gave them a farewell party in the lunch room, with the faculty also, as our guests, and again enjoyed a dance and a good time. The pupils of the senior typewriting class have “made good” this year and deserve much praise, for each one has earned the Underwood certificate for writing 40 words per minute. This all goes to prove the “speediness” of our class. In athletics our class has been one of which we could be proud—our boys al- ways leading in the major sports. This last year the three captains have been from our class, namely: Francis LaBaw, captain of football; Lester Brock, of basketball, and Edward Gove, of base- ball. Much more could be said concern- ing our athletics, but I will leave that to Mr. LaBaw, who has charge of that department. Speaking of our boys reminds me that I must not slight the senior girls, especially in regard to our senior do- mestic science class, of which we can justly boast. In March the girls pre- pared and served one of the finest ban- quets imaginable for the members of the Board of Education and their re- spective wive. and husbands. It brought forth much deserved praise and commendation, both to the girls and to Miss Johnson, their teacher. When, in the course of senior events, it seemed to be necessary to attract at- tention by doing something unusual, eight of the noble senior boys marched into morning assembly robed in the cos- tume of the girls’ basketball team. The entire High School was properly thrilled and the coveted sensation oc- curred, for middy blouses, girls’ ties and beads are unusual sights on senior boys. Robert Graham was brought into the limelight first, looking like a marine off duty. Owing to the absence of little Dean, he was asked by Mr. Weidner to hold the flag, while the salute was given. Robert was quite embarrassed and blushed so that everyone looked at him instead of the flag, lie must have felt a guilty conscience—but, then, Robert is all right. Iladsell was a picture of beauty, with a form like the Venus de Milo. We all admired him. He has such a beautiful neck—just like a swan! Then, when the fourth period was al- most at a close, a startling thing hap- pened, which caused one of our most noble seniors to' stay home from the movies for the rest of the week. He was experimenting in the laboratory, trying to make an infernal liquid bomb for use in the trenches, when, much to his dismay, the bomb burst and the con- te its splashed over the front of the blouse. “Woe is me,” said Rowland; ‘ ‘ here goes next week’s pay. I wonder if she got it at Cohen’s or at Blom’s?” He was seen at noon going down the street with Grace, and the next day she wore a new middy to school. All the boys felt somewhat embar- rassed, each one experiencing the same feeling as the fellow who, for the first time wears long trousers to school or parts his hair in the middle, but they had no need to feel so—but then, if we girls should tell some of them how be- coming the middy was to them, I am afraid there would be a rush sale at the local stores and not a middy would be left for us. (They are so susceptible to flattery, you know.) The social activities of the senior class will close with the long anticipa- ted trip to Washington on June 19. This trip will be most enjoyable, as well as highly instructive. Visits to Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery, the Washington monument and other places of note and interest will add much to our knowledge of our nation’s capital. We have now finished High School. In truth, we have finished our school life and entered into the greatest and biggest school of all—Life’s School. Some will enter college, some will enter business life, and—but I leave that to the class prophet. Yet in these dreams of mi e, I dream big things for each and every member of this illustrious class, and I hope that no one will fail. In later life each of us will be glad and proud to remember that we were a member of this, the best, the Class of 1917. CAROLINE B. HENDERSON. THE ECHO When the class of nineteen sev’nteen Launches out into the main, Leaving dear old Vineland High School, Never more to meet again; Comrades dear, thru many a year, With voices ringing strong and clear, Singing their last song together; Silence, then—what’s that we hear? ’Tis the echo! Cups may tarnish, pennants wither, Dust and age our portraits claim; Names forgotten, records broken,— Other heroes, songs and fame; Yet, in balls with mem’ries sweet, Lurks the tramp of hurrying feet. Laughter, singing, praises ringing— All with time are made more sweet In the echo. Frances E. Chase. AN ATHLETIC REVIEW FRANCIS A. La BAW Football. A month before school commenced last fall, the football squad met for practice on the gridiron in Landis Park, under the leadership of Coach Mennies. Francis La Haw was elected captain and with the assistance of Coach Mennies and Manager Paul Ross the team start- ed training in an endeavor to win the county championship. The squad soon rounded into shape and much promis- ing material proved available. How- ever, with so many green men the team was not able to successfully cope with the fast and heavy team of LaSalle Col- lege, who defeated us 20 to 0. This de- feat bound our fellows the more firmly together and after several weeks of the hardest kind of training and drilling in the rudiments of the game, Vineland had a team in which she placed the highest confidence. The greatest game ever staged in the history of the school was played here against Millville High, whom we defeated with a score of 13 to (i. The school’s spirit was roused to a fever heat and joy knew no bounds when our chief rivals met defeat. This victory was won by team work and shows what practice can do for a team. The last game of the season was played at Bridgeton. Over half of the school journeyed to witness the contest. Bridgeton was over-confident and sure of success, and a few minutes after the kick-off took advantage of some ragged playing on our part and forced over our goal line for a touchdown. Our team rallied at once and fought the re- mainder of the game until we had piled up a score of 28 to 6, thus winning the county championship for our school. Owing to the late season, this game closed the schedule and the team was given a banquet at Hotel Maretti by the coach, “Rube” Mennies. Speeches were made by all members of the team and Louis Miller presented the captain with a football. Where this hall came from is still a source of much joking by the team. The captain then tjianked the members of the squad for their splendid work and support during the season and closed by presenting a gold football to Mr. Mennies in behalf of the team for his much appreciated services. The following men were awarded let- ters by the Athletic Board: L. Miller, R. Miller, Proccacini, Key, Sharp, Tur- ner, Kimble, DeLuca, Bozarth, Gove, Captain LaBaw and Manager Paul Ross. Basketball. At close of the football season Capt. Brock called together the basketball team who, in the absence of a gymna- sium, started practice on the school grounds under the direction of Coach Mennies, Miller, Kimble, Sayford, Bo- zarth and Turner, mostly last year’s men, soon rounded into a fast team. Al- though no cage was yet available for practice, the team took several out-of- town trips and made a fine showing against the larger high schools in spite of their disadvantages. Finally through the kindness of I)r. Hallowed, of the State Home for Women, our team was given the privilege of using their splen- did cage. V. II. S. won the opening home game of season against Woods- tftwn H. S. with a score 41 to 14. Al- though losing to Millville on their floor because of the poor head room, Captain Brock lead his quintet to a wonderful victory on our home floor. The rooters went fairly wild with delight when the final whistle blew ending the game with the score standing 24 to 22, in favor of Vineland. By this game Vineland tied for county championship in basketball after putting up a wonderful struggle under great handicap all year. V. II. S. thanks most sincerely Dr. Hallowell for her courtesy in permitting our team to use her gymnasium and we again thank Coach Mennies for his splendid work in producing a winning team for V. H. S. At the close of the season the following men were awarded letters by the Athletic Board: Miller, Kimble, Sayford, Turner, Bozarth and Brock. Baseball. Baseball candidates were called out this spring by Captain Gove. They at once started training under Coach En- trekin. We have an exceptionally fine team this year, strengthened by many veterans from last year. The season is now well under way and although los- ing to Millville and LaSalle College, have humbled a host of other schools in the dust. Among those who have been humbled are Hopewell Township, Col- lingswood, Ilammonton, Camden, Ilad- donfield and others. Track. Whenever we mention the word track we rejoice for V. H. S. has always ex- celled in this branch of athletics. Cap- tain R. Miller and Manager Bugbee re- ceived many candidates for track after issuing their call. The men started training at once under the direction of Coach Schaffle. An inter-class meet was soon held in which the Seniors would have easily won had it not been that the girls’ points counted in the final score, giving the meet to the Sophomores, who were presented with the Winslow cup. Some very good records were made and the coach was able to get a good line on his material. The tryouts for the Penn relay team were held a few days later the men finishing the quarter in the fol- lowing order: R. Miller, LaBaw, Skin- ner and Johnstone. This team jour- neyed to the Relay Carnival at the U. of P. on the 28th and succeeded in get- ting second place in a fast race. It is interesting to note that every class is represented in the ten: Senior LaBaw, Junior Skinner, Sophomore Miller and Freshmen Johnstone. The day set for the annual county meet was cold and raw, but neverthe- less the meet was held in Landis Park and was witnessed by over one thou- sand spectators. Vineland, as usual, romped away with the county cham- pionship. The score stands: V. II. S. 41, B. II. S. 32, M. II. S. 11, P. II. S. 6. Vineland’s point winners were as fol- lows : Name. Points.

Three records were shattered by our boys- the mile, by Ilaughey; the 220, by La- Baw, and the 1-mile relay. The Purpose of Athletics. Fellow classmates, we have at last completed our High School education and stand with our feet advanced on the threshold of a higher educational institution, or upon the threshold of the great school of life and advanced to meet either success or failure. Let us all try to-be successful. We can if we will. Not so much in a mate- rial way as in the broader sense, name- ly, to be a man among men, and by terming ourselves men to embrace all of the (qualities which the term inti- mates to us. In the contemplation of a future success it would be most profit- able for us to meditate upon our past accomplishment and upon our victories and defeats during our school life. The quotation “As the twig is bent, so the tree’s inclined,” always has left an un- pleasantness with me, for it would seem to portend of fatalism, that our past, no matter how faulty it has been, will likewise affect our future; but I am sure that we will avoid the falsity of the quotation and by a careful retro- spection of ourselves will profit by our errors. Permit me to ask a few questions of you: Are you a grind, without thought of anything but the knowledge gained from your books? Are you an over-de- veloped athlete with a correspondingly under-developed brain? Are you a ne'er-do-well who drifts aimlessly along without thought of yourself or of those with whom you come into daily contact? Or are you the mentally awake, morally straight and physically strong man, combined with a practical knowledge of your fellowmen and a wholesome conception of life and of life’s ideals? The grind excelling in his studies, the athlete excelling in .port and the ne’er-do-well all belong to a class termed as undesirables and hence failures. It is the well balanced man who is in demand, whose adapta- bility will permit him to serve in prac- tically any capacity that may be de- sired of him and whose personality will make him a capable executive. Doubtless you may think that 1 have digressed from my subject, but I have first wished to show that if we have a one-sided development we must over- come it by some means if we wish to be- come successful in after life. If you have gone through High School without bestowing a thought on athletics, you have unquestionably missed more than half the value of your training. (When speaking of athletics we do not wish it to savor of professionalism, but only for the joy of itself.) The fundamental principle of athletics is to develop the body with a well trained intellect into a well balanced man. Of what value to a grind is his encyclopedic mind, if he has not the physical strength or moral courage to use it ? The answer is obvi- ous. If you have been a grind and have neglected your body, remedy it now so you may become a success in the fu- ture. If you have been in the ne’er-do- well class, rouse yourself from your present state of sloth fulness and en- gage in manly activity and you will profit not oidy physically, but also men- tally, because of your physical awaken- ing will be imbued with the stamina of a well being, and you will be filled with the desire to grow mentally and better yourself) as well, turning your life from a stagnant pool of failure into a flowing river of success. In all of our athletic pursuits we must, above all else, be moderate. This cannot be too strongly emphasized for the over-developed athlete is the direct result of misdirected training and hence is an undesirable product. Ath- letics not only moulds us physically into well formed men and women, but it casts us into a more intimate fellow- ship with our fellowmen. It teaches us to respect manly and womanly qualities in others and to profit by the examples set before us. We learn to play a clean game and to become true sportsmen; learn to accept a defeat as gracefully as a victory. It develops initiative and the will power to adhere to a set prin- ciple and concentrate all of our efforts into being successes. It is an incentive to industry and when we have won a victory we feel the honest pride of work well done, of having achieved through diligent endeavor the desired objective of our dreams. Taking a careful analysis of our- selves during our past career, let us as- certain if we possess a one-sided mental development or have drifted aimlessly along as a ne’er-do-well, and if we have let us resolve to rectify our past errors by entering into the spirit of athletics so that we will be able to face life with a well balanced being and with the courage of the man who knows that he will make good. THE LITERARY SOCIETIES AN ESSAY AND A REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S PROGRAM ELIZABETH WEIDNER AND BLANCHE MARTZ The efforts of the originators and those subsequently interested in the lit- erary societies of the High School have not been in vain, for although the Phi- lomathean and the Edward Everett so- cieties were organized in 1904, they are as popular with the students of 1917 as they were then. To increase the interest in the society meetings, a cup was presented by the x Hoard of Education to the school, to be held for the ensuing year by the society which had scored the most points in the final contests. Up to the present time each society has held this cup for seven years. During the past few years new fea- tures have increased greatly the inter- est in the regular society meetings. Spe- cial programs, consisting of choruses and quartettes, have aided in arousing enthusiasm. This consequently causes friendly rivalry, for of course each so- ciety desires its program to be the most interesting. The general public and parents have been invited to the meetings and their approval and co-operation have done much to encourage the pupils who thus realized that their efforts were appre- ciated. Musicians, essayists, reciters and de- baters seem to have sprung forth as leaves from a tree in springtime. There are many students, who, having gal- lantly filled the gaps vacated through carelessness on the part of others, or for some other reason, should receive the approbation of the student body for the loyalty thus shown to their society and school. Much benefit lias been de- rived from these meetings. Greater co-operation and interest has been aroused between parents and teachers. They have aided greatly in placing the High School on a higher plane and in raising the standard in all literary pur- suits. Hut aside from these advantages they have been of great value to the pupils themselves. The training re- ceived through public speaking gives ease and grace in delivery. According to the maxim, “Practice makes per- fect,” a trained speaker will make a good orator. Training in writing essays, orations and editorials develops initiative on the part of the individual pupil and helps to bring out many latent powers which otherwise would not be developed. The practice secured in debating has helped wonderfully in training the school de- baters to win interscholastic debates. Friendly rivalry has existed between the societies from the beginning and much enthusiasm has been shown by the Alumni Association as well as the student body and faculty. Both the societies seek the hearty co- operation of all the townspeople to further extend their usefulness. The following literary programs were given during the past year: • Program, November 3, 1916. 1— Piano Solo, “Birds of Paradise,” Miss Miriam Gillespie. 2— Essay, “Business Courtesy,” Miss Florence Tregale. 3— Debate: “Resolved, That the Elec- tion of Mr. Hughes Would be More Beneficial Than the Iic- election of President Wilson.” Affirmative Speakers—Mr. Roger Bray and Mr. Charles Lane.

THE SENIOR PICNIC ROWLAND POTTER Well, the one great day for the Senior’s has at last passed—the one which we had looked forward to with such great expectations. This eventful day fortunately fell on the 5th of June. It was the day set aside for the class picnic, which was held at Clay ville. The day proved to be a delightful one, warm and clear—it was all that could be asked for. Eight o’clock had been the time set for our leaving the High School, but by 7.45 some of the more prompt members of our class were on hand. After taking account of stock, we found that several of our class were missing, and, to our horror, we discov- ered our president was among them. Our means of transportation was still a minus quantity, but after quite a wait, Lester drove up in his BROCKway truck, Anna in her CHALMERS, and Caroline in her HENDERSON Car. Just as we were starting, Francis Avi- nal LaBaw and Millard came rushing up, all out of breath. Between gasps they managed to tell us that they had been to the TAYLOR’s. After a short but sweet ride of some thirty minutes, we arrived safely at our destination. After taking the girls and the “Chaps” for a boat ride, we fellows went for a swim. While we were bask- ing in the sun. some of the girls tried their luck at fishing, but Muriel was. by far. proven to be the best FISHER. She had been able to hook one “son” fish. About this time Howard drove up in a queer looking car. We were about to SAY FORD when he told us it was a Kisse(n)l Car. As it was then about twelve o’clock, we all had some lunch, including two kinds of GRAHAM crackers (Bob and Christine), RICE, FIEGE(s) and sev- eral hundred sandwiches. Blanche was to furnish the spoons, but being unable to find the required number, she went to Ackley’s M RT(Z). She did not like their GOLDMAN’S ware, so pur- chased some ROGERS silverware, which is good enough for any KING. After lunch, the party broke up into two groups, one going into the hills for a short hike, and the other going for a sail. It was while out sailing that Mary shoved Ethelyn into the REGAN. The lake is situated in a valley, com- pletely surrounded by great rolling hills, which makes it a delightful place for an outing of this sort. I decided to accompany the latter group and by half-past one we were some distance from the lake. Alice soon became tired, so we left her sitting under an ASH tree which grew at the foot of a good-sized KNOLL. Soon after, we heard a peculiar noise. Rogers declared it was the BRAYing of a mule, but Franklin said it was the bleating of a LAMB. It was suggested that we try and catch it, so Frances and several of the girls at once took up the CHASE. We had the laugh on them, though, when Tony gave a shrill call. The LAMB circled around them and quickly came to him, for it had heard MASTRANGELO’S voice. The girls were terribly frightened, for while chas- ing the LAMB they had nearly fallen over a CLIFT. We followed a roundabout course back to the lake. Catherine led us by a HALL, out of which a wedding pro- cession was wending its way. shielded from the hot sun’s rays bv a CANEPA. In the bridal party were Misses Mennies, Frew, Smith. Clair, Thompson. Heni- mingway, Boardman, Weidner, and Messrs. Harrison. Sternberg, Unsworth, Mattioli, Gove, Hadsell, Riccio, Cernig- liario and Potter. At 8 o’clock we started for home. It was a perfect night. A great round moon shone down on us and, though we were all very tired, we were in the best of spirits. There was just enough air moving to cause the leaves to RUSSEL. H. W.

A SPORT AND A SPORTSMAN H. A. SAYFORD Some people confuse the terms ‘ ‘ sport and ‘ ‘ sportsman. ’ ’ This prob- al)ly arises from their ignorance of one term or the other, for they are as dia- metrically opposite as earth and sky. A “sport” by the outward appear- ance is a fellow who is loud in his dress, loud in his talk and loud in his actions. In reality the “sport” is even more worthless than lie appears Usually he lives on somebody’s hard earned money which he has obtained through no work nor skill of his own. He is usually the reveller, the indulgent and the gambler who makes up the class which has wrongfully been termed “good fel- lows.” There is no such thing as a good “sport.” The “sportsman,” on the other hand, is divided into two classes—the fellow who hunts for wild animals with intent to kill, but who plays the game fair; a d the fellow who is engaged in some athletic sport. The “sportsman” with the gun in his hand is the man who gives his game a chance to live. lie is the fellow who kills by his own skill and not by brute force. The hunter who plays the game skillfully and honorably with his op- ponents—the wild animals—is the only fellow deserving of the name “sports- man.” The other half of the “sportsman” class is the athlete. The words “sports- man” and “athlete” are not, however, synonyms; we regret to say that all athletes are not “sportsmen.” The fel- low who is termed a “sportsman” in athletics is the fellow who, above all else, plays the game clean and honor- ably. Next he must have control of his temper, for he is sure to meet an op- ponent who is not a “sportsman.” If he be representing a school or college he must be willing to play his best, re- gardless of his personal relations. lie must have the exceptional ability of taking a defeat as gentlemanly as a vic- tory. The “sportsmanly” athlete has the broadminded view that he is not play- ing for himself, his friends, the coach or even the captain of the team, but for the honor he can help to bring to the school or organization which he is rep- resenting. Therefore he must be will- ing to play his head off, when his chance comes, and be willing to allow the proper officials to decide whet her or not he is proficient enough to attain the position he desires. The wise athlete criticises no one but himself. Regard- less of whether things are being run to his particular like or dislike, he keeps his opinions to himself and strives to play his part in the game the best of which he is capable. We invariably find the “sport” in the grandstand and the “sportsman” on the gridiron. The most the “sport ” can do to further his school’s honor is to bet on the ability of one of its “sportsmen.” Let the athletes in Vineland High School strive with all their mi ilit to be true : portsme and maintain the high standards which this word implies.

Casey—“This afternoon I am going o� t in a Hudson that can’t go sixty miles an hour.” Question—“What is the difference be- tween a widow and a window ?” First Answer—“You can see through one. (But which one?)” Second Answer—“You can shut one up. (But which one?)” Sam early one morning started out with his team, to which was hitched a mule, to take some produce to market. He only got part way when the mule balked and would not move an inch. Sam was discouraged. About an hour or so later along came I)r. Le Bau, veterinary surgeon, an espe- cial friend of Sam’s. “What’s the matter, Sam; can’t you make him go?” “No,” said Sam; “the only time he’ll move will be at sunset. Then he’ll turn toward home.” “But.” said his friend, “it is already an hour or so after sunrise.” “Dat’s so, dat’s so. boss.” “Well, Sam. I’ll have to help you out,” and with that he gave the mule a hvper- dermic injection of ammonia back of the ear. Well, that mule surely moved. He went tearing down the street at a forty- mile clip, Sam after him. Pretty soon Sam gave up hope of catching him and came back to the doctor. “Say, Doc, how much of that stuff did you put in that mule?” “About five cents' worth,” answered Doc. “Well,” holding out his arm, “give me ten cents’ worth as quick as you can. I want to catch him before he goes too far.” Ruth—“How was it that you didn’t have a nice time yachting?” Bert—“It was so very stormy that Charlie had his hands full with the sails all the time and could do nothing but hug the shore.” Lou (in restaurant)—“Is there any soup on the bill of fare?” Waitress—“There was, sir, but I wiped it off.” Mr. Dickman (presiding in the court- room)—“I’ve lost my hat.” Student Lawyer—“Lost your hat? That’s nothing. Why, I lost a suit here yesterday.” Hadsell—“Say, what is the test for a nitrate ?” Sayfrid—“Pour it in a glass of milk and drink it; if you feel all right after a few days, it is not a nitrate.” Should any of these jokes be too dense, kindly notify the Editor-in-Chief. and he will forward to you, free of charge, a tissue paper copy, so you can see through them.
