The 1937 Pegasus, is that shared bv many other publications of a similar nature — to present to you. Students of Washington College, a digest of the events of a year of college life. This aim has not, we realize, been accomplished, but perhaps we have presented to you certain things — picture or para- graph — which will recall to your mind the happenings at Washington College since September 1936. If this much has been achieved by The 1937 Pegasus we have not failed, but succeeded in doing our little bit in per- petuating the memories of our beloved Alma Mater.

Since then we have watched the continuous march of progress under his wise and liberal administration. Strengthened curricula, nationalized fraternities, new buildings, a wider spirit of cooperation, all testify that the lines have fallen into Washington in pleasant places. The members of the class of 1937, the first to com- plete the full course under his supervision, in deep affec- tion of what his leadership has meant to us, affectionately dedicate this Pegasus to our instructor, guide, counsellor and friend, President Gilbert W. Mead. B A O D O M K I N I S T R A T I o O N N E Board 0 Visitors And O T H ovcrnors Term Expires June, 1937 Gubernatorial. Members Irvin T. Kepler Elkton, Md. Samuel E. Shannahan Easton, Md.

For four years we have studied with them, worked with them, and plaved with them. Wisdom, understanding, and charitv are found in the personality of each and everyone of them. They have been more than willing to assist with all problems which have arisen — regard- less of whether they were or were nt concerned with studies and school. We have come to love and respect them all. and hope and trust we may some day be worthy of the confi- dence they have, time and again, shown in us. We re- gret to leave the Eastern Shore — Chestertown — Wash- ington College — but harder than any of these will be leaving Our Faculty.

T H E I 9 3 7 Tiny is most fittingly described by the title applied to him in his sophomore year — Major Mite. Perhaps he is the most entertaining man on the campus, being gifted with a type of dry humor which always amuses, but seldom offends. A consistent student, Alger is a man to be relied upon when he has promised to do something. The fact that he is the smallest letter man in school proves that he is no sissy. As a sports feature writer for the ' Elm, and the final authority on sports of any kind, he is indeed an up and coming Grant- laud Rice. The only thing that he set out to do in Washington College in which he has failed is in trying to get enough sleep. 24 ROBERT LYLES ADAMSON ROCKVILLE. Md. Transfer from Blue Ridge College 2; V. M. C.

Bob missed the first two years at Washington College by attending Blue Ridge College. Since the day he came to the campus, however, he has been making up for lost time. One can always find hiin at the dances — he ' s the tall, good-looking, black haired fellow who is never without a smile. Popular socially, and an athlete of no mean ability ( as the record above testifies) , those of us who know him find behind his cheerful smile, a personality equally pleasing. A true friend and a good com- panion who will be missed on Washington Campus next vear. We regret that we did not have the good fortune of knowing him for four years rather than the two he has been here. 25 P E G A S U S LELIA REED ANTHONY MiLLINGTON, Md. Y. W. C. A. 4; Washington Players 2, 3, 4; Historian 4; Mount Vernon Literary Society 3, 4; Women ' s Chorus 4. T H E I 9 3 7 Lelia is the one who was, as you will remem- ber, the person who was largely responsible for the winning of the placque by the Seniors in the Inter- Class Play Contest. For three years her chief in- terest on the campus has been the Washington Players, and they have her to thank for many suc- cessful productions. She ' s brave too — she even dared to take a great deal of Economics and Sociology. A person full of life and pep, but al- ways eager to understand and be sympathetic, she has a personality which pleases everyone. Happy and talkative , gay and laughing — the Washington College Campus will be a quieter and less cheerful place when Lelia ' s gone. 26 FRANCIS HOWARD BRATTON Elkton, Md.

Bruiser — the boy who spends all his time look- ing for someone or worrying about something — has been known however to accomplish soinething once in a while. (Don ' t ask when.) He has dab- bled with a lot of activities and once he messed with the Pegasus — the grudges the class hold against him are obvious — he ' s the Editor. For this write-up he picked out a list of adjectives that sound pretty swell, but the Editor in him barred them from the yearbook. Perhaps it is just as well, for everyone knows he is not conscientious and dependable, kind and sympathetic, vivacious and intelligent, and generous and hospitable. We guess that when you get right down to it — he ain ' t worth a single darn. 27 P E G A S U S ALONZA ELLIOTT BROWN Snow Hill, Md.

T H E I 9 3 7 Archie, as he has been called for two years since he was christened Archimedes by some scandal writer in the Elm when he fixed a radio, is probably the most envied man on the campus. He doss just exactly what he wants to, whether it be studying or walking in the January breeze in his shirt sleeves. His two chief loves are the Biology Lab and Time. For recreation he takes long rapid walks and looks for new specimens for his collection of insects. Archie is one of the few persons on the campus whom we would call real students and has a great love for anything scien- ti.fic. In addition to this he is one of the few peo- ple who really appreciate Music and Art. He is also one of the best read people at Washington Collese. MARIAN EMORY BROWN Centerville, Md.

For four years an honor student and one a three-pointer, she has proven well her abilities in this direction. Not only in her studies has she made a name for her- self — for two years she has been the Archery Cham- pion of the school and promises to repeat again this year. Her buoyant, carefree dispositioir anrl ready smile haye won her a host of friends. In her school work she is conscientious and unassum- ing, and always makes enviable grades. 29 P E G A S U S PAUL EGBERT BRUEHL Centerville, Md. Footliall 1; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4: Intra- Miiral Sports 1. 2. 3, 4: Le Cercle Francais 3. 4; Historical Society 2, 3. T H E I 9 3 7 Paul is one of those Centerville boys whom everyone likes, but yet never gets to know quite as well as he would like. He has been a consistent student for his four years, and one who was always willing to stop his own work and help out with someone else ' s. Paul ' s chief interest, in addition lo his studies, lies in the field of sports. For two years he has been the star of the Day Students Basketball Team, and the boys who played against him in Freshman-Sophomore Football won ' t soon forget the way he hit that line. He is of a type which forms a long and lasting friendship, and being congenial, competent and conscientious can hold his own in any position in which he finds himself. 30 WALTER GALEN CLARK Still Pond, Md. ! 2 T Phi Sigma Tail 4; Biological Society 2. 3, 4; Chemical Society 4: Tntra-Miiral Sports 3. 4. ' . 4 j ' Galen has taken after his predecessor who bor: the same name, and is one of Dr. Corrington s best Comparative Anatomists. He certainly swings a mean scapel. He has spent only three and a half years with us, but just the same he is a well-known figure on the basketball floor, at the dances, and al work in the Library. Clarkie is also one of the chemists, who. according to the Arts Students, should make perfume instead of that stinking stuff. Here is a type of personality and kind of person with whom acquaintance is easy, but friend- ship is difficult. Frank, reticent, yet rugged — this type of personality forms the most enduring and loyal of all friendships. 31 P E G A S U S £A FRANCES RUTH CLOUGH ShakespL ' aie Players 3. T H E I 9 3 7 ' ■Ruth. having entered the class in the middle of the Freshman year, has gone steadily forward, accomplishing the work of four years in three and a half. She has succeeded in keeping a high stand- ard of scholarship besides working in the Presi- dent ' s office. Even though limited in time to spend on the campus she has formed many friendships with other College students. We always regret that those students, who do not spend four years on the campus do not have the opportunity to join in the activities we enjoy. Ruth has gotten more out of college, however, than we are first inclined to realize. 32 HARRY COOK COLEMAN, JR. Chestertown. Md. Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4; Intra-Mural Sports I, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Cottie, the long drink of water who always has time to stop and talk to everyone, hails from Chestertown. He has two widely different interests - -music and sports, and in both of these fields he has taken an active part on Washington College Campus. The long shots he takes and seldom misses and the way he blows that trumpet have provided many a thrill for spectators and audience. He will probably be remembered by those who know him but slightly as the tall, good-natured guy, but will always be held as a close friend and a companion by those who have been more fortunate in his acquaintance. He has proven him- self many times to be a good teammate, and a loyal friend. 33 P E G A S U S HARTLEY JOSEPH DUNTON New York, N. Y. 2 T Phi Sigma Tan 3, 4; Sergeant-at-Arms 3, 4; Y. M. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 Hart is the man for the job! We care little what the task may entail, but give it to Possum and he ' ll do it or die trying. Even with widely divergent interests, such as Managership of Foot- ball, Tennis and Chemistry Department Assistant, he finds time to do the little things that people are constantly asking him to do for them. Perhaps, more than Chemistry he favors two things — Tennis, and a scrap of any kind. When trouble starts it finds Hart in the middle, but when it ends — he ' s on top. Perhaps the following words describe him more adequately than any others — Impish, spirited, persevering. ' We recommend him as the science student most likely to succeed. 34 ARTHUR WEEDON GOODHAND, JR. Chestertown. Md. Y. . I. C. A. 3. 4: Shakespeare Players 3. 4; Mount ' ernon Literary Society 3. 4; Glee Club 4: Manager 4; History Depart- ment Assistant 3, 4. ' Art has had difficulty in learning to know other college students. Three years and a half for his college courses, with other work on the side, has demanded a lot of time. He is, naturally, an atniable person and his friendship is held in high esteem by many of us who know him well. On the surface he appears to be grave and retiring, but upon better acquaintance we find a jovial, cheerful person who is not to be restrained. In extra-cur- ricular activities he has turned his enthusiasm pri- marily to the field of music and has been a promi- nent member of the Glee Club the past year. Under Dr. Livingood ' s guidance ve prophesy he will make a fine teacher. 35 P E G A S U S ELIZABETH WATSON HALL Crisfield, Md. 2 T A Sigma Tail Delta 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Transfer from Mary Baldwin College 1; Y.

T H E I 9 3 7 Lib did not enter here until her sophomore year, but it was not long before her liking for mis- chief became known. It seems to us, if we recall correctly, that she was one of that innocent little group who scented Reid Hall so very sweetly with the fragrance of Limburger cheese. Lib has en- deared herself to many people on the campus with her quiet, unassuming personality and quick smile. An experienced conversationalist, we find in her a rare combination — that of being both able to talk and to say something. Being a conscientious stu- dent has not interfered with her interests in the Y. W. C. A. or the procuring of a college education. 36 ERNEST WILLIAM HALL WiLUAMSPORT, Md. $ 2 T Phi Sigma Tau 1, 2. 3, 4; Treasurer i; Vice-President 4: Silver Pentagon 4; Presi- dent 4; Dean ' s Cabinet 4; Stndent Council 3. 4; Washington Players 1, 2. 3, 4; Vice- President. 3: President. 4; Shakespeare Players 3, 4; .Mount Vernon Literary So- ciety I, 2; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Historical Society 2, 3; Meritorious Scholarship 1. Bill — as President of The Silver Pentagon and a member of the Student Council, has a great deal of responsibility vested in him. Always, though, he has shown himself worthy of these trusts. His great passion, that for dramatics and acting, is one for which he is exceedingly well fitted and which he seldom forgets for a moment. Bill has one bad habit. (We hate to point it out to the public, but he has been told so many times. He must always pull a rotten pun. Some are good we agree, but he doesn ' t seem to use them at the right times. In spite of this we can truthfully sa of Bill that he is logical in thinking, deliberate in speaking, and steadfast in friendship. 37 P E G A S U S MARY IRMA HARRINGTON RiDGELY, Md. Y. W. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 ' Iniia is that cute little girl from Ridgely we 836 around the campus. Efficiency — that ' s her middle name. She is always hurrying some- where to do something or other — or else she is do- ing a favor for someone. Her personality is hard to discover, because until well acquainted with her she seems to be all grave, poised efficiency. After she feels she knows you, prepare for a surprise, for an interesting person lies beneath this disguise. She is then vivacious and gay — one who appre- ciates things in general — one who really lives. 38 A NNA DUFFIELD HARRIS Chestertown, Md.

Anna. a Chestertown girl who lives just at the foot of the Campus, misses few of the doings on the Hill. She takes in all the athletic games and is in attendance at all the dances, teas, and what have you. A person who cares little for grades — she is still somewhat of a student. She is a familiar figure in Mr. Jiinmy ' s office, quietly working avvav. She is always quiet — in a social gathering, at work, at play — but still she is gay, cordial and enter- taining. She has been with our class only tW ' ) years, but we wish we had known her sooner. 39 P E G A S U S JEAN CHUTE HARSHAW Lansdowne, Pa.

T H E I 9 3 7 Jean, whether making a grand slam in a bridge game, swinging a hockey stick, shooting baskets, attending council meetings, presiding over a Mount Vernon meeting, or tearing around a tennis court after a small white ball, enters wholeheartedly into the activity of the moment. Have you heard to what point her enthusiasm in playing tennis took her? Well, last spring Jean violated the time honored and hallowed masculine tradition, when she accompanied the men ' s tennis team to neigh- boring colleges. It was quite a new experience to the St. John ' s boys. Jean is one of the most outstanding members of our class, as she is a consistently good student, an exceptional athlete, and the possessor of a cheerful, entertaining personality. 40 ALVIN WILSON HERRERA Randallstown, Md.

Wilson is another of the Blue Ridge College students who threw in with us in our Junior year. Ever since he arrived on the campus his chief aim has been to improve the College in all the wavs he could. It was not long after his arrival that he joined the (ilee Club, and now he holds the posi- tion of President of that organization. A true scholar and a gentleman with a refined and cul- tural background, he is an entertaining and in- forming conversationalist. His interests, which are widely varied, range from music and drama to athletics and sports. 41 P E G A S U S LELAND RUSSELL HOLSINGER RiDGELY, Md. Y. M. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 Russ, although he missed the first two years of dormitory life, readily fell into the swing of things these last two years. The track squad will have a competent manager this spring, and East Hall will remain under control until June Week with Mayor Holsinger in charge of things. This silent, reserved and loyal friend of many of us has missed little of college life and activities. He is well rounded, being a student whose grades are far bet- ter than average, a socialite who attends some, though not all, of the social affairs on the Hill, and an athlete who ranks high in Intra-Mural Sports. 42 CLIFTON HOPE St. Michael ' s.

Perhai)s his chief love, in addition to fine tnusic. is that he has for sports. In his sschool life, he not only worked in the sport parts of the Elm and Peg- asus. ' but managed the varsity baseball team. He has been active in extra-curricular activities for four years, and is an outstanding student. He is also, perhaps, the only man on the campus wlio always has tiine to participate in everything, then walk down town and yet be prepared for all his classes the next day. It is thought that he sleeps with an ear listening to the radio and with one eye slued to a book. 43 P E G A S U S MARY CATHERINE KIRWAN Chester, Md. Women ' s Council 4; Y. W. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 ' Kaki is that gay, cheerful person who has had the necessary stick-to-it-iveness which has brought her back to school to get her degree after several spells of severe illness. Few people would have had the courage to come back and carry on like this. She is also one of those delightful host- esses, who help uphold the Eastern Shore hospi- tality tradition. With her carefree, agreeable, sym- pathetic nature it is a pleasure to chat with her. Possessing a beautiful voice, she has for several years been a great help to both the women ' s chorus and the now extinct chapel choir. Always she has pursued a college education — we think she has gotten it. 44 WILLIAM M.

No one person could have possibly applied him- self more to do so many tasks which should have been done by the Editor. He has been untiring in his efforts that the 1937 Pegasus should be the best ever, ' and we appreciate the time, energy and sympathy he has shown in our direction. Bill in addition to being a good worker is one of the finest and best friends we have in Chestertown — or an - where. A depetidable, generous, and likeable per- sonality, in addition to a cheerful willingness to do for others, go together to make a person everyone loves and admires. 45 P E G A S U S JOSEPH HOWARD McLAIN Baltimore, Md. © K N Phi Sigma Phi 1, 2; Theta Kappa Nil 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; President 4; Silver Pentagon 3, 4; Dean ' s Cabinet 3, 4; Elm Sports ' Editor 3; Y.

As president of his class and his fraternity, with his assistantship in the Chemistry Department his tiine is well taken up. He is a good man for a partner in Contract, and is equally at home on the dance floor or on the basketball floor. He was dubbed by some of his classmates, Sandy, Little Ears, ' but in spite of his Scotch blood he is of a very gen- erou s nature. The best recommendation I can give him is that he is one swell roommate, even if he does wear my tie more than his half the time. 46 ADDIE LOUISE NICHOLSON Baltimore, Md. r 5 Gamma Sigma 3, 4; Secretary 4; Reid Hall Council 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; President 4; Y.

Louise is the President of the Reid Hall Coun- cil and consequently a great deal of worry and responsibility has fallen on her shoulders. In spite of this and the tedious tiine she had in Par- liamentary Law, she is a person upon vhom one can depend to do all that she can do to assist in anything. Never downcast, but instead sym- pathetic with those who have much less to do. she has made the Reid Hall Council a President who will be hard to replace. Happy-go-lucky, yet in- telligent and capable, much more could be said to praise her. We think she is a ' good fellow and a fine executive. 47 P E G A S U S FEDON GEORGE NIDES Centerville, Md. 2 T Phi Sigma Tail 4; Y. M. C.

Of cour se, the boys in Pig Alley used to get his goat occasionally, but that hap- pens to everyone. He has always been a big help to the class on football, basketball and speedball teams. His droll humor has continually kept everyone in good spirits. Energetic in the things he likes, conscientious in the things he feels are duties, he will travel far. A person who is hard to know well, but with whom friendship will last because of his masculine straightforwardness. 48 JOHN WILKINSON PERRY, JR. Centerville, Md.

Jack until his senior year always found him- self getting into scrapes because of his natural love for practical jokes. You all remember the soaking some of us took the day he playfully poured water out of a third floor window. This year, how- ever, he has settled down to two interests and has become a good student and the star of the Senior Basketball Team. Gentlemanly, appreciative and efficient, he is one of the favorites of both the faculty and students who come in contact uitb liiiii in the Melting Pot on the third floor of Bi ' l Smith. 49 P E G A S U S PHOEBE LOUISE PYLE Chestertown, Md.

JPfSV T H E I 9 3 7 Pheeb, that teensy, weensy President of Kappa Gamma Sorority, administers her executive duties in a serene, unhurried manner, but when taking that hockey ball down the field, it ' s a different story. She keeps the halfback, guarding her in Wing position, right up on her toes. As a Freshman she was elected Secretary of the class, and her senior year finds her still filling that position. Pheeb has one of those personalities which can be amus- ing, inspiring or sedative as the occasion arises. A rare person, a good fellow, a fine friend, who al- ways enjoys and appreciates everything. 50 GEORGE BACON RASIN, JR. WORTON, Md. Y. M. C.

George, the Worton Flash, has now been raised to the first lieutenancy under Mayor Hol- singer of East Hall. The thing we dislike about George is that he is always dressed the way we feel we should be. He is the most meticulous dresser on the campus and puts everyone else to shame. As a debater, he has shown that he has great pos- sibilities for public life. As a fellow student we not only respect him, but we feel that he is a good companion. Intelligent, poised and distinctive, he is a good man to represent Washington College on other campuses. 51 P E G A S U S MARIE ELIZABETH REGESTER Barclay, Md.

T H E I 9 3 7 Penny, as Marie is often called, is one of those small attractive girls from Reid Hall who are al- ways to be seen around the campus. A resident of Barclay — she is proud of her Eastern Shore — Just ask her. She is a person who can participate in a great many social events and still make a good index. Her manner is never stiff and formal, rather inclined to be carefree and impulsive. Popu- lar socially, much can be laid to the spirited good humor which we have seldom seen lacking. A good student and entertaining company, Washington Col- lege could do with a few more like her. 52 GLADYS EDNA RIGGINS Bridgeton, N. J. r S Gamma Sigma 4; Transfer from JNtarys- ville College 1; German Club 1; Y. W. C. A. 1; Historical Society 3, 4. Happy is the History girl. We think that she has set an all time record of taking every course in History offered in Washington College. Maybe a subscription could be raised to send another Columbus to find a world whose history hasnl been written. Then Gladys could take the course. In the halls her merry laugh and gay chatter prove the appropriateness of her nickname. Buoyant, easy-going — unpredictable, she is the life of the campus. Her very presence and her quick smile seem to spread mirth to everyone she meets. The outstanding ' hail-fellow-well-met — we like her a lot. 53 P E G A S U S MARGARET LYONS SAULSBURY RiDGELY, Md. r 2 Gamma Sigma 3, 4; Inter-Sorority Coun- cil 4; Elm Staff 3, 4; Y. W. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 r Peg was one of those brave souls from Ridgely who traveled about forty-five miles to school every day for two years. When she came to live in Reid Hall, her witty cheerfulness gained her many friends, who had not had a chance to get to know her before. She has served the Gamma Sigma Sorority faithfully in her position as Inter-Sorority Council ineinber during her senior year. Singing and acting are two of her talents which have made her a valuable addition to the Women Chorus and the Washington Players. Peg has three distinct personalities — it is a real treat to watch her shift from twenty to forty, and then to twelve. She is one person who really enjoys living. 54 KATHERINE SOLDER SHEPPARD Shiloh, N. J. K r Kappa Gamma 3. 4; Transfer from Wil- liam and Mary ' s College 2; Hockey 1; Swimming 2; Basketball 1 ; Y. W.

Shep is one of the few senior girls who was courageous enough to get her degree in the science department. She is an outstanding guard on the basketball floor, and what a menace she can be lo the opposing forward! Shep is planning to be a teacher, and we know she ' ll be a good one. If she finds her class getting dull we would not be sur- prised to see her try some of those snappy imper- sonations. Whether engaged in dancing, athletics, or studies, she is a wholehearted participant. With her cheerfully infectious personality, Kitty has won many friends in the three years she has spent on our campus. 55 9 - p E G A S U S ELIZABETH KATHEL SHORT Smith ' s Island, Md.

T H E I 9 3 7 Lib, ' being the daughter of a minister, has lived in many different places. Her home, at present, is on Smith ' s Island, right down on the lower Chesa- ]3eake Bay. During her four years on liie campus, she has been a consistent student as well as active in extra-curricular activities. Both in her class- work and in her duties as Library Assistant she is a diligent, competent, and reliable worker. As a saleslady for the Shakespeare Players, she has demonstrated her talents by selling as many as forty and fifty tickets for a single production. She will be missed in many capacities next year, but most of all by Le Cercle Francais, over which she has presided during the past year. 56 PHILLIP JAMES SKIPP Bristol, Conn.

Phil, a man with three varsity letters, has often stated that being on the Honor Roll has meant more to him than any of these sports. For this reason, he is our idea of what a college man should be. He is not a grind, and also is not a inan who spends all his time in sports. He also finds, or takes, the op- portunity to attend dances, and other social activi- ties of the campus. College has done one thing for Phil which he should and does appreciate — it has cooled him down from his fiery temper to an easy going person who seldom loses control of him- self. Dependable and conscientious in his studies, rugged and masculine on the athletic field — as an athlete or a student, he is hard to beat. 57 P E G A S U S MARVIN HUGH SMITH Federalsburg, Md. © K N Theta Kappa Nii 4; Silver Pentagon 3, 4; Treasurer 3, 4; Dean ' s Cabinet 4; Elm Staff 2, 3, 4; Y.

T H E I 9 3 7 Marvin, the man who kept the Freshmen quiet this year, has one quality which outshines all the others he possesses. That is his firm belief and defense of any idea, conception or attitude he may have on any subject. We have all agreed or dis- agreed with hiin at one time or another, but have seldom out-argued him on any subject. This qual- ity makes of him a man who is hard to know, but once you have gotten to know him, you will find a true and loyal friend who never forgets even the slightest assistance or courtesy shown him. He is, truly, adamant in his beliefs, loyal in his friend- ships and steadfast in his convictions. 58 ROBERT LYLES SNYDER Baltim ore, Md.

Bob, a dependable man in any circumstance, is another of our classmates who finished the grind in three and a half years. Never happier than when he has a racquet in his hand, he is largely responsible for the place which tennis has come to occupy on Washington College Campus. This is only one example of Bob ' s perserverance — many others have been evidenced in the three years we have known him. Although finishing four years in three and a half has demanded continuous study, Bob found time to participate in nuinerous activi- ties. The Kappa Alpha Order will lose a fine presi- dent this year in this thoughtfully efficient execu- tive. 59 P E G A S U S JAY FRANKLIN SPRY HiLLSBORO, Md. 2 T Phi Sigma Tau 1, 2. 3, 4; Silver Penta- gon 3, 4; Honor Society 3, 4; President 4; Dean ' s Cabinet 4; Elm Staff 1, 2; Assistant Editor 3; Editor-in-Chief 4; Assistant Manager Basketball 2, 3; Intra-Mural Sports 3, 4; Mount Vernon Literary So- ciety 1, 2, 3; Board of Curators 3; Cax- tonians 2, 3; President 2, 3; Le Cercle Francais 3; Treasurer 3; Classical Society 2, 3, 4; Simmon ' s Medal for highest aver- age in Freshman Class 1; Alumni Medal for highest average in Sophomore Class 2; Distinguished Scholarship 1, 2, 3; Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universi- ties 4. il iS if T H E I 9 3 7 Jay, with an enviable scholastic record, and with outstanding journalistic accomplishments to his credit, still finds time to engage in many other campus activities. He has been prominent in Le Cercle Francais, The Caxtonians, The Classical Society, and President of the Honor Society. En- thusiastic about inany subjects and naturally talk- ative, he is one of the most interesting of persons with whom we have ever engaged in conversation. We like his frankness, intelligence and his loyalty - and we consider him to be one of the finest fel- lows we know. 60 MARY ELEANOR STEVENS Barclay, Md. 2 T A Sigma Tail Delta 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3, 4; Honor Society 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Shakespeare Players 3, 4; Class Hockey Team 1, 2, 3, 4; W 1, 2, 4; Class Basket- ball Team 1, 2, 3; Honorable Mention 1, 2; Board of Managers G.

Eleanor ' ' is one of our many day students, but not living in the dormitory has not prevented her from being in the upper tenth of our class, stho- lastically. or from engaging in many extra-curric- ular activities. She is a splendid athlete, and has been on both Hockey and Basketball Class Teams since her Freshman year. The Varsity squads in both of these sports have had her numbered among their members more than once. Since her Sopho- more year, she has represented her class on the G. I. A. A. The Sigma Tau Deltas will lose a valuable secretary, when she graduates this year. A cheerful smiling person who deserves the best the world has to offer. 61 P E G A S U s MARTHA LOUISE STEVENS Barclay, Md.

T H E I 9 3 7 Louise is a very quiet little person, who rates high among the students of the class. She is one of the three senior women in the Honor Society. Her steady work as Inner on the Senior Hockey Team helped them to win the Hockey Champion- ship. This resulted in their being the first to re- ceive those smart little emblems which they wear so proudly. Her untiring work and constant ef- fort on the basketball floor have also brought her favorable notice. Louise is perhaps the only per- son who can always be found in the Library — a student who really enjoys her work, and cares little about grades. 62 ANNA LOUISE STRICKLAND Snow Hill, Md. rs Gamma Sigma 3. 4; Treasurer 4; Trans- fer from Blue Ridge College 2 ; Y.

Anne is an Eastern Shore girl who. after two years, finally saw the light and came back home to go to college. This shyly attractive little creature did not come to Washington College until the be- ginning of our Junior year, but it was not long before everyone wanted to know who she was, where she had come from, and why she had not come sooner. Meticulous in her dress, unassuming bul capable in her studies, and retiring in her per- sonality, all go to inake her a sweet little gal, cer- tain. The Gamma Sigma ' s are sure glad she came here — ask them. 63 iM :JL P E G A S U S MARGARET CATHERINE SUTTON Kennedyville, Md. K r Kappa Gamma 4; Women ' s Council 4; Y. W. C.

T H E I 9 3 7 Sutton, as most of us call her, prefers Grit, so we ' ll oblige her this time. Although Grit, one of the Library Assistants, has to spend a great part of her day checking books, she has found time to be a valuable member of the Class Hockey and Basketball Teams. She is quite adept at that ancient and honored sport of Arching. Mar- garet also makes a good hypnotic subect — Remem- ber this, you future abnormal students! Again we find that the old truth holds — the more popular a person is, the more nicknames they have. Chick has done pretty well by accumulating half a dozen or so. 64 WILSON SUTTON Kennedyville, Md. K A - Jpha kappa 1. 2. 3; Kappa Alplia 3. 4; Secretary 3; Officer III 3, 4; Assistant Manager Basketball 2. 3: Mathematics De- partment Assistant 4. Chick has picked up the name Friday, be- cause he can always be depended upon to perform any kind of a job, and to do it correctly. He has become during his senior year the Assistant in the Mathematics Department and has really been the friend of the freshman by helping on his own time to get them over the difficult spots. Although Wil- son is efficient and industrious he is never too busy to be cordial to everyone he meets. In addition to his other other activities he has been III Officer for the K A ' s this year. We have found him to be a steady worker, a good fellow and a fine friend. 65 p E G A S U S ROBERT LEE SWAIN, JR.

Now he has been quieted down by the boys in the Theta House, and only occasionally fills someone ' s bed with sugar or pours ink into someone ' s freshly drawn bath. (The boys don ' t use ' em often any how.) Bob is greatly to be congratulated on his four years of college work. Not only has he been outstanding in the classroom, but has made a fine name for himself with his journalistic, and art work. His great achievement, that of working for Washington College History, and ending in the be- ginning of the Historical Society has already brought much favorable comment in his direction. Although a trifle abrupt, he is jovial and intelligent — a fine person to know. 66 MARION EUGENE TAYLOR Princess Anne, Md. Y. M. C.

Marion, is one of those silent rugged Eastern Shoremen who comes from Princess Anne and is proud of it. (We ' ve heard a lot of stories about the place, so someday we are going down and see if there really are 300,000 people there.) Marion is a Biology major and spends a great deal of time in the Lab, but in addition to — or in spite of — his studies, he seems to enjoy college life and activities. Although he is likeable at first acquaintance, he is difficult for some people to get to know because of his unassuming personality. We are glad however that we can call him a friend. 67 P E G A S U S ESTELLE BARBARA WESLEY Baltimore, Md. r s Gamma Sigma 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; President 4; Inter-Sorority Council 4; Class Hockey Team 1, 2; Art Association 2; Biological Society 2, 3; Historical So- ciety 3, 4; Treasurer, 4. T H E I 9 3 7 Stell — that sweet little bit of femininity who presides over the Gamma Sigma Sorority — is one of the most active of our Senior women. Her chief love, however, is talking, and we have never seen her at a loss for a word. She can say some- thing or nothing, be kindly and sympathetic, en- tertaining and amusing, spirited and sarcastic, as the occasion demands. She is the person in the class who is always herself, and with a straight- forward, cheerful and unpredictable manner, she is one of the most popular of the Reid Hallites. 68 MARY WOODLAND WESTCOTT Chestertown, Md. r s Gamma Sigma 1. 2, 3, 4; Historian 3. 4; Class Hockey Team 3. 4; Mount Vernon Literary Society 2, 3. 4; Art Association 2; Le Cercle Francais 3. 4; Historical Society 2. 3. 4; Secretary 4. ' Woody. ' one of the Water Street delegation, has been active on the campus for the past four years. She is the girl who dared to venture to major in Mathematics. She is a true Eastern Shore- man, and one misses a great deal of Chestertovvn if not entertained by this charming hostess. From the snapshot at the right, it is obvious that she loves the snow, and we don ' t think she missed a day on the river last winter when the skating was good. Mary Woodland is an amicable person who is gra- ciouslx informal and cordially entertaining. 69 P E G A S U S MARY JO WHEATLEY Chestertown, Md.

T H E I 9 3 7 Mary Jo came back to us again in February to finish up her college career. She is, as you know, the attractive young lady who is always just com- ing from somewhere, or just going somewhere else. Mary Jo has always gotten a great deal out of col- lege, but even if she does have books in her arms in the snapshot, don ' t let that fool you. Always she is found to be entertaining, and intelligent — a good conversationalist. She is in her bearing, poised, and quietly distinctive. We are glad we had her back, even if only for four months. 70 JAMES BENJAMIN WHITE Stevensville, Md. K A Alpha Kappa 1, 2, 3; Kappa Alpha 3, 4; ' •V 3; 11 4; Y. M. C.

Jimmy is just another of those useless Chemists who sits in the Assembly Hall when he should be doing his Quantitative. Regardless of the fact that he is a Chemist, and in spite of the fact that he as- sociates with the riff-raff of the department (Dr. Buxton, Dr. Robinson, McLain, Dunton, Yourtee, Skipp and Bratton ) he is a pretty good guy. You ' ve probably seen that W Club sweater he wears so proudly — it ' s from baseball — the Kent Islanders take that sport seriously. Jim is stu dious when nec- essary, but his socialite characteristics are always coming to the surface, and his calm and grave ex- terior is immediately humorously cheerful. 71 P E G A S U S ROBERT BURNETTE WHITE, JR.

In this hobby he spends most of his week-ends, and is often to be seen circling low- over the campus in a plane. Bob was a much needed influence on our class — he is just quiet enough to make one study, at least occasionally, and just thoughtful enough to keep one from being bored.

Ann is one of the most popular of our class, and not only that, she has been one of the hardest working and one of the ones who enjo y College the most. With her grades well above average, and her work in the Library she still finds time to at- tend almost all the social functions on the Hill. She has also been a great help to the class on Hockev and Basketball Teams. Ann is a person who can always be depended upon to do some- thing — and do it when you want it done. Always, she seems thoughtful, but, then, too, she is happy, carefree and informal — all these going together to make one of our most charming voung ladies. 73 P E G A S U S FLORENCE CONRATH WILMER Chestertown, Md.

Maxima cum laude is a splendid distinction, and we are glad that there are some ainong us who realize its worth. The care of two small children and of a home makes this achievement particularly noteworthy. Be- sides, she also finds time to be a member of Kappa Gamma Sorority, as well as to hold the Vice-Presi- dency of two organizations, the Art Federation and Le Cercle Francais. A quiet unassuming person who is always willing to assist those who need it, and one whose kind understanding and sympathy has meant a great deal to those of us who are fortunate enough to know her. 74 FRANCIS MARKHAM WINGATE WiNGATE, Md.

Spirited and al- ways cheerful, when we come back to the campus on our first Homecoming Day, Mark will be the first person we will look for. In many ways he has shown himself to be a trustworthy friend, upon whom we might call for anything needed at the moment. We regret, however, that he smokes Chesterfields instead of Camels. 75 P E G A S U S LAWRENCE KARN YOURTEE Brunswick, Md. 2 T Phi Sigma Tau 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; President 4; Silver Pentagon 3, 4; Secre- tary 3; Vice-President 4; Dean ' s Cabinet 4; Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; President 4; Elm Staff 2, 3, 4; Cotillion Club 1, 2, 3; Treasurer 3; Intra-Mural Sports 1, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Orches- ira 1, 2, 3, 4; Shakespeare Players 1, 2. 3, 4; Chemical Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Distin- guished Scholarship 1 ; Meritorious Scholar- ship 2, 3; Who ' s Who in American Col- leges and Universities 4.

His activities, many though they are, have never interfered with his doing some things which a man with more time to spare would give up because they would take him away from his studies. A refined, gentlemanly personality won for him the highest honor on our campus — that of President of the Student Body. He has served well and is deserving of much praise. 76 Senior Class History In 1933, September to be exact, a conceited bunch of high school graduates came to enter Wash- ington College as its Freshman Class, — we were they. We were branded as a result of the depression, but actually we were as ambitious and full of hope as any class who have passed through the Gateway. We were strangers with a new home; to become, not only acquainted with, but of which we were to become an integral part. How fortunate we were to have an- other in a situation comparable with ours! Dr. Mead, who was a freshman with us, had just assumed his duties as the President of Washington College. All the trials, and hardships of the first year are forgotten. The outstanding event of the year, the acceptance of a degree of Doctor of Laws by Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of The United States, has obscured most of the more insignificant occurrences. Soon we had overcome our timidness and the vear passed with such speed that June, which seems to come out of nowhere, found us saddened bv the shortness of the year. Joseph H. McLain President When we returned, it was not as frightened Freshmen, but as brazen Sopho- mores, ready to carry on the fine old tradition of Washington College. We were amazed at, but not daunted by, the size of the new Freshman Class, and were well pleased that there would be two rats to shine shoes and make beds, where there had been only one the year before. That fall (with a paddle in one hand and a rat in the other) we watched the Washington College Football Team sweep through their schedule undefeated. As the end of the year appioached, the novelty of being Sophomore had worn off and we were eager to be fun-loving Juniors. The next year we shared (at least a little) the honor of being upperclassmen with the Seniors. Again we were dominated — but this time voluntarily by the Seniors, who we carefully observed so as to be fit examples for the up and coming Sophomores. The thought kept worrying us that we had only one more year, so we settled down to our college education, in which we had suddenly discovered a great deal of interest. This year we had another victorious team — The Flying Pentagon won the Maryland League Championship. In June we watched our last upperclassmen go with tears in our eyes — realizing that in another year we too would be leaving our Alma Mater. Now we are Seniors — dignified if you will only look closely enough. We have only two views to consider — looking back and — looking ahead. Behind us lie the fullest ' days of our lives, and four years of study, fun, sport, and real life. Ahead of us we still have a few short days before our Undergraduate Days will end forever. This year we saw the dedication of Hodson Hall, and were able to use it for almost the whole year. As Seniors about to depart we are best described by these few words if we were only Freshmen. 77 P E G A S U S REVERIE Yesterday — It could not have been four years ago — strangers in a strange land — furtive and wary as veritable rats — wandering through the halls — prowl- ing about the campus — seeking — seeking — we scarce knew what — and fearful lest we found it ! Today — Fragrance of flowers — strains of music — the coveted diplomas — pride in having attained so much — regret at having attained so little — the sweet exhileration of worlds to conquer — the bitter heart- break of ties to sever — congratulations — smiles — tears — hail and farewell! Tomorrow — A new day dawning — shadowy path- ways fading — faces turning resolutely to the rising sun — faring forth to uphold the traditions of our Alma Mater — to perpetuate her fair ideals — to meet life ' s problem unashamed — to face death ' s mystery unafraid ! u N D E R C L A S S E S Junior Class Officers President Norman W.

Shorb President The class of 1938, with an enrollment of one hundred and four, was the largest class ever to enter Washington College up to September, 1934. After the informal activities of Freshman Week we soon felt quite at home despite the ratting that was inflicted by the Sophomores. Our class brought several football men who aided he team in gaining the honor of being the first undefeated football team in the K rjl til nail!

In the annual Freshman-Sophomore rivalries the Freshmen won the football game, but were defeated in the tie-up and the tug-of-war. We elected Ace Wilmot as our president. In the fall of 1935 a somewhat smaller class returned, whose main purpose during the first month was to show its superiority over the new Freshman Class. We re-elected Ace as our president because of his efficiency during the previous year. The Freshmen won supremacy over their pseudo-superiors in the Freshman-Sopho- more football struggle, but the Sophomores were victorious in the tie-up and tug-of- war. The women upheld the honor of the class by winning the Intra-mural Basketball title. The beginning of this our Junior — and best- -vear we elected Norman Shorb as president. We successfully introduced the plan of having an annual Junior Prom with a most successful and enjoyable dance with Bob Craig and his orchestra. This three years we have spent have been enoyable and profitable. It was not until this year, however, that we really began to appreciate the fields of interest and activity which were open to us on the campus. The boys have become regulars in the ranks of the Reid Hall Cadets. the girls have found more and more time to engage in social activities, and we all have entered into the task of becoming the rulers of the school in our senior year. Perhaps neglected have been our studies, and also a few letters home and to friends which we kept up with so regularly the first two years, but we have found ourselves ever broadening into men and women. But — we have grown — socially, scholaslicallv, and athleticall are the biggest and best class ever! — until now, we Buck row, left to right— Stanley, Panowicz, Howeth, Towner, Benham, L. Kolesliko.

Pkund President Almost two years ago many self-asserted, worldly-wise high school Seniors, soon to be disrespectfully addressed as Green Rats, were anxiously awaiting the first few days of college. It would be stretching the imagination too far to suppose these dignified graduates ever thought they were going to be representatives of the largest (and some say the best) Freshman Class ever to stroll nonchalantly over the green terraces of Historic Washington College, or wander aimlessly through the halls of good old ' Bill Smith. The football team conquered successfully several others, and came through the season in fine shape, making us very proud of our Alma Mater. Soon the Hallowe ' en Bach row — Vincent, Wiles.

The Sophs, as was expected, won the tug-of-war, but we upheld our honor by winning the football contest by the shut-out score of 14-0. Rapidly the first semester was coming to a close and the election of class officers took place. James Pitman, now at West Point, was chosen for president; Gilbert W. Mead, Jr., vice-president, Harry J. Hicks, Jr., secretary, and George Englebert, treasurer. Good old Oak Valiant held down the Student Council position for the first year. Immediately following the elections, the fraternities and sororities issued their bids and the future leaders of Washington College found their first half of an eventful Freshman year was over. After spring vacation the last lap of our first year was rapidly ending. Again the class elections took place, and this time Howard Pfund, Gil Mead. Scotty Alsdorf, and George Englebert were elected to the class offices. The finals appeared with surprising rapidity — the June Ball — our Freshman year was over. Upon returning to college we found many members of the class were missing. Some had entered other institutions — some had begun the hard task of earning a living. The first few weeks were uneventful to us, but we succeeded with an amazing ability to pester the new rats ' as efficiently as the previous Sophs. The prospects of spring vacation and the Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority balls appeared on the horizon soon after our Christmas vacation was over. ( Exams are hardly worthy of mention.) Before we realized the fact spring vacation was past, as were the two Greek Dances. Now again the finals are looming and after that the pleasure of June Week — and the closing of school. Another chapter has been added to the history of the Class of ' 39. All too soon is our Collegiate Adventure coming to an end. However, we are striving to make a record of which we may be justly proud. Back ro«— Zebrowski. Bland. Medinger, Dasliiell. W.H.drow. Robbins, ■«•. Koleshko, Blexins, G. Mead. Third row — Baldwin, M.

Lucky school, Washington, getting all these important people as a Freshman class. No bands, no cheering when the bus dumped us on the campus. Was this how it felt to be lost or marooned?

Lectures and parties, parties and lectures were a pleasant entree for our new life. We were ijegin- ning to think that college was a saxophone and a racoon coat after all. There must always be a villain! Rumor had it that in a few da s our parties would vanish and tragedv would occur. We innocent children thought that the tragedy was that classes would soon begin: so we laughed when we heard the warning. We liked school, and we weren ' t afraid of a little work. Little did we know what those snarling Sophomores meant when thev hissed, Make raerr nou. for tomorrow you will ' This was certainly a funny one! Those bashful freshie girls had the nerve to come to their first class painted up in Indian fashion, and their dresses worn in a way that one did not know whether they were leaving or entering class. Mother would be shocked if she knew her Johnie had to give up his name for that of rat. Johnie ' Rat memorized his freshman bible so that he would not break any rules and displease Mr. Sophomore. Every time anyone would mention Pig Alley, ' the little rats ' would turn pale. The campus looked like a circus ground . Trained tin cans trailed behind some mournful looking rat and the freshie girls were feverishly going through a hop-skip-jump motion in an almost helpless attempt to make classes on time. The freshman became very obliging and polite. They shined shoes, ran errands, cleaned rooms, and made beds for their Excellencies, the ' Sophs. They addressed them as Mr and Miss and many of the girls went so far as to curtesy. The highlights of the Glorious Haze was the boys ' pajama parade, the bonfire, and the entertainment. Revenge was sweet when those rough games called football, tie-up, and tug-of-war gave us a chance to be on the right end of the paddle. Even if we were cooled off by a fire hose — we certainly enjoyed helping our little playmates bite the dust during the tie-up ( no hard feelings, we hope. ) Incidents like these make us cherish our freshman ' daze. Soon we felt as if we were real members of Washington College. We knew all the school cheers, we plagued every organization, sport, and dance. The boys had fallen into the front ranks with the Reid Hall Cadets. When exams came along, we were able to cram with the best of them. We are proud of our athletes, our students, our class. See!

William Jones for the purpose of discussing and recommending ac- tion, if action is warranted, upon problems of im- portance to the whole college. The Cabinet is all for the purpose of handling contingencies which no other Hill organization can touch upon; and it can be used at a time when no other measures are of avail. The membership includes in the main seniors who head campus publications, and other important organi- zations, the presidents of the upper classes, and the fraternities. Meetings of the body can be called by Dr. Jones or by any one member of the group, when- ever it is deemed necessary. The Cabinet provides a cross-section of student opinion. The Cabinet includes Jay Franklin Spry, Editor of the Elm ; Lawrence K. Yourtee, President of the Phi Sigma Tau Fraternity and of the Student Council ; Joseph H.

The Council has acted often and wisely on matters of vital importance to the student body. In every trial and on L v RE cE K Yoirtel every question there had been much deliberation be- President fore any decision has been rendered. The council has been striving this year more than ever before to try to encourage co-operation between the faculty and the students. By encouraging such relations it is thought that there will come to exist a more wholesome attitude toward social life, but more especially the end in view is to promote scholarship. A stronger sense of personal honor has been the reward this year after the past successful years of student government. A feeling of responsibilitv toward their school and its students is gradually pervading the campus. This is felt to be largely due to the conscientious efforts of the Council.

In addition to the regular meetings, the Honor Societv has charge of an Assembly program in February, when the newly elected Junior members are given public recognition. Further recognition is extended in the form of a lianquet and the presentation of keys to new members. Election to the Scholastic Honor Society is normally at the end of the first semes- ter of the candidates Junior year. The candidate must have at least a 2.25 index, and rank in the upper tenth of his class. Student officers and faculty members are elected in May.

In fact, it was not satisfied to stay home to debate, but had to go to Baltimore and debate such schools as Duke, West Virginia Women, and Mary- land over the radio. Besides an extensive northern trip was taken engaging such teams as Upsala, C. C. N. Y., Princeton, Boston University, Alfred Uni- versity, Wesleyan and Connecticut State. Schools debated on the campus included Swarthmore, Maryland, Western Maryland, Penn State, Lebanon Valley, Albright, Delaware, and Franklin and Mar- shall. The club engaged in a total of twenty-five debates. The question was: Resolved that Congress should be empowered to fix minimum wages, and maximum hours for industry. Bergdall, Eisentrout and Doering up- held the affirmative; Smith and Rasin. the negative. Two seniors, Marvin Smith and George Rasin, who gave unlimited energy to the success of the club, will be lost by graduation. They leave, as many others have, with a more broadened college career due to their debating experience. Benjamin H.

All the programs except the usual freshman show were of a serious literary type. They consisted of debates, impromptu speeches, one-act plays, discussions, addresses by members of the faculty , and miniature concerts by the College musical organiza- tions. The society has, by programs such as these, attempted to become a sort of melting-pot where students of all departments can come together and enjoy literature without being encumbered by departmental barriers and supervision. The society believes that it has upheld Washington College ' s and its own traditions.

The activities of the Y. range from the editing of the Student ' s Handbook and the sponsoring of a school wide tennis tournament to the Annual Conference and a campaign that brought a course in the Bible into the college curriculum. Activities during Freshman Week, weekly Vesper Services held jointly with the Y.W. and a formal dance were among the other things included in the Y. program. The policy of making the Y. a service organization has been largely responsible for the bringing of the Y. M. C.

' sidfnt Under the worthy counsel of Professor Tolles, and through the loyal cooperation on the part of the Players themselves, the Dramatic Club has again proven itself de- serving of the important position it holds among the active organizations on the Hill. An extensive program was planned and successfully carried out. Three well known full length plays, as well as four groups of one act plays, were presented during the year. The Historical Society made it possible for the Players to present their second major production, Me?i Must Fight. Our appreciation and many thanks to the Historians. Besides their own productions, the club also sponsored the second annual Inter- Class Play Contest, the winning class receiving a silver plaque. This year the senior class won the contest with their presentation of William Ellis Jones ' Objections Overruled. The Players feel that these contests have a two-fold justification by in- creasing interest in dramatics and stimulating class spirit. The year has decidedly been one of progress. The Washington Players wish to thank the student body for its support. With this support the club hoyes to achieve bigger and better things in the years to come. n O ' J O; rs A Standing — Los Kamp, Wharton. ,1.

Incalls Director The Shakespeare Club was the outgrowth of the enthusiasm generated by the class in Shakespeare in 1931. A plan to present Romeo and Juliet for their own pleasure expanded into a costumed performance. The play took so well in town, and afforded so much pleasure to the participants, that they banded them- selves together and ordained a Shakespeare play every year. The first play was presented by the members of the class alone; and ever since most of the cast have been drawn from present or past Shakespeare students has seemed expedient to go further afield.

Swain, Jr. President Interpretation of the changing conditions of the present and the future requires a critical study of the past. A basic implication of this interpretation is that Wash- ington College ' s span of existence, stirring though it be, coincides with the progress of America as a world empire. The background of the College and Kent County constitutes a laboratory of American institutions based upon information from factual data. The purposes of the Historical Society are to preserve documents and manu- scripts; to place in the hands of students records which have been scattered over a diversity of sources; to augment the research facilities of the College; and to secure and disseminate information on the early development of both Kent County a nd the College. Though these methods vary, the Society seeks to accomplish its pur- poses by means of pilgrimages, sponsoring of speakers, conducting meetings and illustrated lectures, and finally through cooperation with other organizations whose work touches at one point or other on historical problems.

Buxton Chairman The Washington College Chemical Society was organized in the fall of 1933 by a group of students interested in Chemistry. It was reorganized this fall with its officers forming a board of curators instead of the regular executive offices. Interest in the society has taken a step forward and it is now composed of a much larger group. The purposes of the society are: to ' keep up to date in Chemistry, to find new points of view, and to make possible broader knowledge of the subject, par- ticularly in fields not covered in the classroom.

Shout President T H E I 9 3 7 While this organization is as yet a very recent one on this campus, its presence is being felt more and more and the accomplishments of the current year would justify the assumption that the organization has not only come to stay, but that it is filling a place of importance on the campus and lending prestige to the Modern Language Department. ■ The Cercle is responsible for the staging of Les Deux Sourds, the first French presentation to be attempted in the history of the college, and may well feel proud of the success with which it met in this achievement . Another noteworthy achieve- ment of the year was the presentation of a full length, imported French film entitled, Dr. Knock, at the New Lyceum. The aim of the Cercle is the dissemination of French culture and to make French a felt and spoken language on the campus, and the session and attainments of the Cercle are planned with this in view. With the increased regular attendance and ihe evidence of increased interest that has been felt this year, the organization is looking toward growing success and achievement. Membership in the Cercle is restricted to those students who have completed at least four semesters ' study of the language, but they welcome also any faculty members or louiis|ic(i])lr ulm lia c a knciuli-dge and an interest in the French language.

Its purpose is to foster the study and discussion of Greek and Roman antiquities at somewhat greater length than classroom requirement permit. The meetings are held twice a month and interesting prograins are planned so that both students and faculty members participate. The Classical Society was organized in 1933, and this has been one of its most successful years. 106 p u B L I C A T I O N S THE WASHINGTON ELM John C. Mead Business Manager The Washington Elm has functioned again this year as a weekly student publica- tion, giving the opportunity for practical journalistic work to interested students. The general policy of the editorial boards of the last two years has been followed, with emphasis on the improvement of general make-up and on developing a professional journalistic style in staff articles. For the first time a merit system of promotion was attempted, involving the formation of a Publications ' Board having for its members the editors-in-chief and business managers of the Elm and the Pegasus and two persons selected from the faculty. This board served in an advisory capacity throughout the year, and before the annual elections met to determine eligible candidates for offices on the two publi- cations, and to make recommendations in connection with the same elections. The number and quality of articles published and the regularity of attendance at staff meetings were among the things considered in the board ' s recommendations. The Elm has attempted to preserve a proper balance between departments, both as to space delegated and to placement of articles. The importance and timeliness of news has also been carefully considered. The Collegiate Digest Supplement, which depicts college life throughout the country, was distributed this year as last with the Elm with no increase in the student assessment. T H E I 9 3 7 The editorial columns have often suggested reforms that seemed advisable, and have also given praise and blame to student organizations, social, scholastic, and athletic, for their attitudes and achievements. This year ' s Elm has continued the expository type of editorial, favoring explanation over argumentation. The presenta- tion of facts in their true relationship has been judged of paramount importance. A basic course in the principles of journalism is offered annually by the English department and is open to all members of the staff except freshmen. Through the cooperation of the class its work has been made to run parallel to weekly Elm assign- ments whenever possible and class articles and criticisms have been invaluable. 108 The Washington Elm Published weekly, from September 26 to May 29, by and for the interests of the student body, faculty and alumni of Wash- ington College, the eleventh oldest institu- tion of h ' gher learning in the United States.

Marvin Hugh Smith Faculty Advisor Dr. Frederick Georse Livingood The Silver Pentagon Society was organized in 1926 as an honorary leadership society. The ideals of the society, as symbolized by the pentagon shaped insignia, are: Fidelity. Tradition, Education. Friendship, and Leadership. The society has as its prime purpose the furthering of, and harmonious development of these aims on the Washington College Campus. Through its efforts as a unit and its behavior as individuals, the Silver Pentagon Society strives to advance Washington College through the realization of these ideals. Every Silver Pentagon man must be pre- eminent among the student body in some one or more of the following fields: Scholarship, Social Leadership. Publications, Music and Forensics, or Athletics. He must in addition possess the five ideals of the society as basic constituents of his char- acter. The society, through its efforts and achievements in numerous phases of campus life, has earned for itself a position of singular respect; a man who is chosen for membership in the society is thereby marked as a man of admirable character and achievement. Membership in the society is carefully governed; those who attain affiliation with the Silver Pentagon have widened their eligibility by adhering to and meeting the strict requirements of an activities point system in use on the campus and prescribed by the society. This qualifying system requires that, in order to be eligible for membership, an applicant must have proven himself active in one of the major fields of major activity and also in two fields of minor activity. Thus, it is evident that the men of the Silver Pentagon Society are truly leaders of their fellows. Examples of the activity of the Silver Pentagon Society are always evident on the campus. Several of the more widely recognized programs or the society are: the sponsoring of frequent informal dances at a minimum cost to the students, the prepa- ration of a schedule of activities which gives a definite time and place for their meetings, and the administering of a budget of student activities, whereby student organizations on the campus are aided financially by a general fund to which all members of the college contribute. It is the aim of the society to serve the students at all times and on all occasions. In its eleven years of existence on the campus, the Silver Pentagon has moved steadily forward; increasing and developing both in its scope of campus activities and in intercollegiate relations. In 1928 the society had grown to proportion that it was granted a charter of membership in the Blue Key Honorary Fraternity. The Silver Pentagon Society was an active participant in the affairs of the organization at home for five years; then in 1933 the society resigned from the Blue Key Fraternity. Since 1933 the society in addition to its accustomed offices and achievements has endeavored to gain admittance to Omicron Delta Kappa — the outstanding national leadership fraternity. I One may be sure that the Silver Pentagon Society shall long continue to hold a position of trust and respect on the campus, and shall continue to acquit itself in such a manner that Washington College will be proud of such an organigation. 9 11E HALL YOIRTEE McLAIN M.

Lkaitis Head Coach Hartley J. Dunton Manager Washington 25 — American U. 7 The 1936 Shoremen first took the field on October 3, in Washington, D. C, against the American Universitv ' Eagles. The Maroons soon demonstrated their superiority and scored three touchdowns in the first half. Young scored the first touchdown of the year on an 18-yard dash and Huffman added the extra point from placement. In the second period Huffman went over from the three-yard line, and Evans ran 72 yards for another score on an inter- cepted pass. After battling scorelessly against the Washington reserves, throughout the third period, American University scored on the first play of the fourth. The Eagles continued to threaten after the return of the Shoremen regu- lars, but the Ekaitis team finally gained the ball on their own 10-yard line. Young then got loose for a 90-yard touchdown dash which ended the scor- ing and gave the visiting team its vic- tory with a final score of Washington, 25; American University, 7. Washington 7 — Upsala 7 On October 10 the boys made their debut on the local field and covered themselves with glory. In a bitterly fought battle the highly favored Upsala team used two men to each of Wash- ington ' s, and battered the hosts all over the field, but the game ended in a 7-7 tie. The wind which was driving from the northwest, aided each team in it ' s scoring drive. The Shoremen lost no time in scoring after an Upsala punt against the wind had given them the ball in Upsala territory. After Wilmot and Huffman had alternated to bring the ball into position, Young tossed a pass to Salter who galloped the re- maining distance for the score. Ander- sen added the point from placement. In the second quarter, however, the ' Vikings gained possession of the ball after a kick by Young traveled only a short distance against the wind and scored a short time later on a run by Meile. Wilson drop-kicked for the ty- ing point. From this time until late in the fourth quarter Lpsalas two com- plete teams alternated to give the home boys a terrific physical beating, but the defense led by Kilby, Cain and Benham proved impenetrable. Toward the end of the game with the wind at their backs, the determined Eckitis men opened up an offensive drive and were deep in their opponent ' s territory when the final whistle blew to end the game. Washington 8 — Johns Hopkins 7 Then came the annual encounter with Johns Hopkins. This was a night game played at Homewood Field in a rainstorm which made the field more suitable for a regatta than for a grid- iron battle. Actually the score 8-7 was far closer than the game. The visitors romped all over the field, but could not score in the first half. Washington finally broke into the scoring colraun when Salter blocked Kahl ' s kick and the ball was recovered by Ward of Hopkins for a safety. Young had paved the way for this by placing a beautiful punt out-of-bounds on the one-yard line. Shortly after the safety Evans carried the ball for the Shoremen ' s onlv touchdown, a perfectlv executed V - yard run off-tackle. Huffman missed the try for point. The Hopkins touch- down came when Kahl, Hopkins ' back, intercepted Young ' s flat pass and ran 60 yards for the score. Baetyer tallied ihe extra point from placement. This ended the scoring. Salter, Evans and Kilby were outstanding in this third straight victory over our old rival, the Blue Jays. Washington 18 — Susquehanna 6 Homecoming Day brought a large crowd not only to witness the dedication of Hodson Hall, but also to attend the annual clash between the Susquehanna U. team from Selinsgrove, Pa. No Wash- ington College football team has ever defeated the clever Crusaders who are coached by Alonzo Stagg, Jr. ; the best previous effort was a 6-6 tie in 1934, the year of the undefeated Maroon team. Washington scored early in the first period, climaxing a drive which began on their own 20-yard stripe. Salter took the ball over on a double pass behind the line. The Crusaders retaliated in the second quarter and the score was deadlocked as the first half :: : Kilby 129 Skipp ended. The third period was fought on even terms, but in the fourth. Gibby Young returned Valunis ' kick 5.5 yards for a score. The Shoremen were not content with this lead and scored again to prove conclusively to the visiting alumni that the present Ekaitis men really had something. Huff- man intercepted a pass on the 50-yard line and ran to the 1-yard stripe before being stopped. On the next play Big Wilbert crashed over for a touchdown and made the final score, Washington 18 — Susquehanna 6. Washington 7 — Mount St. Mary ' s 28 After a week ' s rest, which should have given the boys a chance to be in top physical condition for Mount St. Mary ' s the Maroon team arrived in Frederick minus the services of Ray Kilby, and with Jim Salter and Neubert a little worse for wear. To complete the situation, Marty Cain received an injury in the first quarter, which kept him out of the game for the rest of the season. The Mounts scored early in the first period and the Shoremen were never able to recover completely. Young ' s 20-yard pass to Salter scored the only points for Washington and the Emmitsburg team scored again in the first period and added another tally in both the third and fourth quaretrs to win by 28-7. Washington 6 — West Chester Teachers 41 The Washington College team took its second straight defeat at the hands of West Chester Teachers on the Teach- ers ' home field. Coach Glenn Killin- ger ' s boys had a day and were plenty hot. Rogo proved that he could tote the pigskin as well as we had been told he could. West Chester tallied twice before Washington counted its score. The lone touchdown came as the result of a constant drive from midfield. Young going over from inside the 10- yard line on the old Statue of Liberty play. As the game wore on it turned into more or less of a rout and ended with the reserves of both teams battling it out in a wild and wooly manner that was interesting to the spectators. The Washington reserves played nearly half of the game, taking the field in a body in the second quarter, and finishing the game save for a brief respite in the third period. The final score was West Chester 41 — Washington 6. Washington 21 — Delaware 6 The 1936 football season was closed before the largest crowd ever jammed into Kibler Field. They saw a colorful game, filled with thrills from start to finish. Washington muffed several scoring opportunities in the first few minutes, swarming all over the visitors from the very outset. Delaware came back in the second quarter and, fighting hard, gained a six-point advantage and held the Sho ' men in check until the end of the half. In the third period Chuck ' Collins recovered a fumble on the 25-yard line and the Shoremen opened up by air. Huffman tossed to Salter, who made a sensational catch and gained a first down on the Dela- Voung 130 liEiiiiMSir piawwC Andersen Zehi Town Bt-nlu ware 45. The play was repeated for another first down on Delaware ' s 20. Two running plays netted the Shoremen nothing, but Huffman passed to Young for an 8-yard gain and Young hurled to Salter for a l.rst down on Delaware ' s 7-yard stripe. Evans went through to the 1-yard line and Huffman crashed over for the score. Wilmot added the point from placement, and Washington led 7-6. Evans scored on a short smash as the final period opened and Ander- sen booted the placement. A few min- utes later Delaware punted to Young, who rsceived the ball and galloped 75 yards for the third Maroon touchdown. He then booted the placement which completed the scoring for the Washing- ton season, and gave a final score of Washington 21 — Delaware 6. Certainly the Washington College 1936 football season ended in a blaze of glorv. This game ended the college football careers of Ed Evans. Wilbert Huffman and Phil Skipp. The play of the two inseparable friends and roommates. Evans and Huffman, needs no build up. On these two pairs of broad shoulders fell a great deal of responsibility of the Shoremen ' s backfield duties. We shall miss ' Big Ed and Uncle Wil- bert ' ' ; we don ' t need to praise them any- more, we wish them the best of luck. Phil Skipp returned to the squad and acqitted himself nobly in his final year as a Washington College linesman. The following men were awarded let- ters: Salter, Zebrowski. Neubert, Kilby. Benham. Skipp, Andersen, Cain, Col- lins, Ware. Young, Wilmot, Evans, Huffman. Kolar. and Manager Hartley Dunlon. The prospects for next season seem at the present time to be unusually bright. Basketball J. Thomas Kibler Coach The basketball season may be reviewed with a feeling of mixed emotions. The rec- ord of ten victories and seven defeats is not too bad — unless we consider what might have been. The Washington College Flying Pentagon faced their schedule with a team which the so-called experts claimed to be easily in the class of the Maryland Collegiate League and which was even compared to that famous Fly- ing Pentagon of the days of Dumschott. Carroll and McGran. But the fond dream F. Markham Wingate Manager failed to materialize: the play was con- sistently erratic and games were lost which should have been won. The Pega- sus Sports Department will make no attempt to fix the blame for this failure; our duty is merely to recount for posterity the facts in the case. The squad boasted such veterans from the championship team of 1935-1936 as Zebrowski. Wilmot, Salter, Pfund, Smith, Horowitz, McMahon, Rambo, McLain, and for part of the season, Huffman. To T H E I 9 3 7 Standing — Coach Kibler, J. Collins, A. Rambo, Skipp, Salter, McMahon, Manager Wingate. Seated — Horowitz, Pfund, Neubert, Zebrowski, McLain, W. Smith, Wilmot. 132 bolster this array of experienced talent Coach Kibler had former regular center Phil Skipp, who returned to the scene after an absence of a year, and such prom- ising freshmen as Neubert and Collins. This wealth of material, however, did not seem to be able to produce consistent play of championship calibre. The constantly changing lineup mav be cited as ample proof that Coach Kibler was vainly striv- ing for a combination which would click. In the games before Christmas the Maroon team showed promise. For the first time in four years West Chester Teachers College was defeated by a Kibler-coached aggregation. Zebrowski and Salter led the scoring, although the play of Wilmot in holding his opponent Rogo to four points was clearly the outstanding feature of the winning. The final score was W.C. 49. West Chester 37. This was f ollowed by a triumph over Moravian. 38-24, in which Zebrowski was again high - scorer. So evervone went home for the holidays feeling quite exuberant; but all was not well. The first game of the Maryland Collegi- ate League race was played at Homewood and (lie over confident Sho men returned on the short end of a 41-33 score. Carl Rasin of Hopkins led his team to a well deserved victory to the extreme consterna- tion of the Editor of the Elm who had allowed an article to be published which had been written prior to the playing of the game and which mentioned a Wash- ington victory. On the following evening at Chestertown the Maroons looked better against Western Maryland, as Zebrowski led the way to a 41-22 win. Again away from home on the follow- ing Friday evening Washington took a trouncing from Mount St. Mary ' s. The game was not close and the 3.5-22 score indictated thta perhaps this edition of the ' Flying Pentagon was not going to have as smooth sailing as had been anticipated. The next evening the Sho ' men staved off a University of Delaware rally and won 30-28 before a local crowd, but were far from impressive in doing so. In the following week history seemed to be repeated. Away from home, Wash- ington was trounced by University of 133 P E G A S U S Maryland at College Park, 41-20. On Sat- urday, however, playing at home the locals smeared Loyola 43-33. After a week of examinations the team returned to action against the successful team from University of Baltimore. Led by Probst and Pellins, Baltimore had en- tirely too much for Washington and won easily 38-24. It was in this game, how- ever, that Coach Kibler stuck Joe McLain in late in the game in an effort to stop the flood of Baltimore baskets and was so pleased with the work of the senior who had warmed the bench for three years, that he gave him a regular guard berth for the remainder of the season. In the return game with Hopkins the Maroon and Black five came to life and handed the Jays a smearing, 50-34. Wilmot successfully held Rasin, and shared the scoring honors with Horowitz. McLain, and Neubert. In the most exciting basketball game of the year at Chestertown, Johnny Lambros led the St. John ' s team to a thrilling 39-38 victory in two extra periods. Washington ' s tactical blunders more than offset their physical superiority, and with Lambros on the floor their lapses were fatal. Too much praise can not be given to DeLisio and Lambros for their performances, which were easily the most satisfying of the season, to the lover of basketball i n spite of the sterling work of Pellini of Baltimore and Blitz of West Chester. A second overtime game saw Washing- ton gain revenge in a hard fought victory over Mount St. Mary ' s by a score of 38- 37. Wilmot led the scorers and was ably assisted by Neubert, Pfund, and McLain. Then followed the second defeat ad- ministered to the University of Delaware this season. Zebrowski led the team to a 31-22 win at Newark, Del., and added one bright note to the otherwise rather drab season by making it two in a row- over our traditional rivals. T H E I 9 3 7 134 Duquesne L ' niversity ' s School of Phar- macy furnished little opposition and Washington emerged victorious to the tune of 58-23. Zebrowski garnered 24 points and McLain 12 to lead the scorers. The trip to Westminster on the follow- ing Tuesday was quite disastrous. The Western Maryland center, Uvanni, was on. and scored 21 points which, when added to the 9 which his teammates contributed. was enough to give the Green Terrors a 30-26 victory. In the final game of the season in Balti- more, Washington took the measure of Loyola 37-36. Pfund won the game in the last minute with a scoring spurt. With 21 points, Zebrowski was the big gun offens- ively for the Sho ' men, while McLain. acting as captain was the defensive star. To finallv end the season. Washington took it on the nose in Annapolis, losing to St. John ' s 28-21. Again De Lisio and Lambros dominated the play, and Zebrow- ski led Washington ' s scorer ' s. McLain ended his college basketball career with another fine game. No long summary is necessary. Com- mendation must be made for the scoring of Zebrowski and for the fine all around work of Pfund, Wilmot and McLain. Hor- owitz, Neubert, Salter, Smith, and Skipp also had their moments. The squad will lose only the services of Joe McLain and Phil Skipp by graduation : we wish the Flying Pentagon better luck next year. Those who received letters were : Zebrow- ski, Pfund, Wilmot. McLain, Salter, Smith, Neubert. Skipp and Manager F. Markham Wingate. ■ If r f S- ll HH MM ' ,1 : 1 s % i . 135 P E G A S u s Baseball Too much pi aise can not be given to a college base- ball team which, after losing such great college ball players as Nicholson, Tignor, Berry, Reinhard, Bilan- cioni. Huffman and Webb, is able to face the prospect of a highly successful season. Of course the majority of this praise must go to Coach Kibler for his great work in molding a fine team and guiding it to heights of which the supporters of any team might well be proud. In spite of the loss of most of the sluggers who had helped the Shoremen to annex two consecutive Mary- land Collegiate League championships, Coach Kibler was fortunate in having a fine looking bunch of ball plavers with which to start the season. Perhaps the outstanding newcomer is Addis Copple, the left-handed freshman twirler. who is expected to develop into one of the best pitchers ever to step on the rubber at Kibler Field. Evans, another port-sider. was also on hand and his services were extremely valuable. Jim White began his final year by turning in a fine game against George Washington and definitely estab- lished himself as the leading right-hand pitcher. Little Smith handled relief duty and also performed in a creditable manner. The catching staff, probably one of the strongest in the country, as Howard Pfund was assisted by Paul Bruehl. The infield was made up of Bill Smith at first, Jim Salter at second, Mike Kardash at short, and Bob Everett and Sleepy Howeth alternating at third. In the outfield, Eddie Turner held down his old berth with even more success than in past years. Eddie Evans played in centerfield when not taking his turn on the mound and as usual turned in outstanding performances. The other oufield position was shared by Alex Zebrowski, Marty Cain, and the very promising Rock Hall sophomore, LJrie. Although the team did not present the array of heavy hitters that was possessed by the 1936 edition of Kibler-men, there was more team work and more spirit shown bv the present aggregation. It would be foolish to say that Nicholson, Tignor, Berry, Remhart weie not missed, but it is possible to state that the 1937 team was a ball team VNhich an college m the Llnited States might point to with excusable pride T H E I 9 3 7 Back row — Henes, Hoppe, W. Smith. Dudley, Ross, Ware, Howeth, Bruehl, F. Jones, Cla gert. Middle row — Urie, Evans, Kolar J. Elliott, Copple, Pfund, Cameron, Barranger, Cain, W. Jones. Front row — Manager Hope, W. Collins, Rodemyer, Kardash, Everett, Scott, Rambo, McCabe. 136 Track Ri.s HuKlimr Mc, The 1937 Washington College Track Team substan tiated the judgment of those authorities who had raisei the spring sport to the status of a major sport. Paced by the veterans, Gibby ' Young, Tut Tully. and Eddie McMahon, the team smeared Ekaitis ' Alma Mater, W.M.C., by a score of 82-44. Gilbert Mead- Ben Vandervoort, Joe McLain. and Ray Kilby were alsn responsible for first places in the meet. After this auspicious debut it is safe to predict that the Maroon Black tracksters will have an even more successful season than last year ' s extremely creditable one. Coach Ekaitis has a wealth of fine material with which to work and places a much better balanced team on the field than has been seen in past years. As in the past two years, Gibby Young handles the heavy work in the dashes, and is assisted only by Knipp, Ben Vandervoort and Ohler. In the 440, Andersen and Buck lead the candidates, and may be expected to turn in quite a few points in future meets. Carman and Coleman are placed in charge of the 880 and seem to have the situation well in hand. The irrepressible Eddie McMahon leads in the distance events and is aided only by Wheatley and Hague. Tully is assigned to both the high jump and the broad jump, and has as his competitors for honors such sterling men as Andersen, G. Mead, and the Two Vandervoorts. Ben and Charlie. In the weight events the leading candidates are Kilby, McLain. and Skipp. oung and Little Gus Rambo leave little to be desired in the pole-vault line. The schedule is calculated to test the strength of the squad to the limit, but the future looks bright in spite of the high calibre of the opposition. Back row — Tattar, Kilby, Blizzard, Buffington, Knipp, W. Kuleshko. Oliler, Coacli Ekaitis. Middle row — Rangle, E. Davis, A. Coleman, B. Vandervoort. E. Rambo. C. Vandervoort, Buck, Rawley, W.

Davis Coach The court team which responded to Coach Arthur L. Davis ' call had at least one unusual and outstanding feature. That was the appearance for the second year on the Washington College Men ' s Tennis Team of Jean Harshaw, sturdy senior co-ed from Lansdowne. Pa. Jean, who last summer teamed with her sister and achieved notable success in Philadelphia Women Tennis circles was quite instrumental in helping the racqueteers make a creditable showing in their difficult schedule. The male portion of the team, was made up of veterans, Norman Shorb, Robert Snyder, Melvin Toney, and Maurice Kaufman, and freshmen Ernest Shockley and Bill Johnson. As this was only the second year for the tennis team, following a long period of inactivity, too great success was not anticipated. Nevertheless, under the tutelage of Dr. Davis the netmen furnished stiff opposition for the representatives of other institutions and their work in the fac e of such an ambitious schedule was worthy of dislincl ((imniendation.

The Juniors were runners-up in hockey, being defeated by the Seniors 3-1 in the playoff. The Seniors were runners-up in basketball, the championship of which was decided in a two-game playoff. The first gaine ended in a 17-17 tie; in the second game, the Juniors won, 14-8. Nancy Kane was high scorer in hockey; Jean Harshaw led in basketball.

Marian Brown was almost unchallenged as the champion archer, while Jean Harshaw was equally supreme in tennis. Tennis, always a popular sport, was completely dom- inaed by Jean; and it was largely through the efforts of Marian that archery became so popular as to be scheduled as a major sport for the coming yeer. With the gradua- tion of these two champions, archery and tennis lose two of the outstanding women athletes in recent years. T H E I 9 3 7 144 T[ic June Fete Of 193?

Miss DoRis Thistle Bell The JUNE FETE of 1937 presents Miss Gladys Riggins in the role of Queen and Miss Margaret Sutton in that of the Prince. Miss Doris Bell, as directoress, has many new ideas for the Fete. The choreography is entirely new and includes many novel and beautiful arrangements, and the artistic interpretations of the more diffi- cult roles are the result of her many years of experience in this work. A talented cast supports Miss Riggins and Miss Sutton. THE STORY OF THE JUNE FETE Once upon a time, a little baby daughter was born to a beautiful queen. The queen, inspired by a snowfall, named the baby Snow-White. Soon after, the mother died. Then the king married a haughty and beautiful woman, who owned a magic mirror that, when asked who was the fairest of all, would reply that the Queen was. 146 Snow-White grew up. One day the minor told the Queen that Snow-White was the fairest. The enraged Queen had a huntsman take Snow-White to a forest and leave her there. Fortunately, however, seven friendly dwarfs found her and gave her a home. The mirror still told the Queen that Snow-White was alive, so the Queen searched out her dwelling-place, disguised as a peddler. She sold Snow- 1iite a bodice that nearly killed her. hut the dwarfs returned home in time to save her. The Queen tried again, giving Snow-White this time a poisoned comb. Again the dwarfs saved her. A third time the mirror told the Queen that Snow-White was the most beautiful. The former determined to put an end indeed to her rival. She poisoned a beautiful apple, and gave it to the princess. When Snow-White bit it, she fell as if dead. The dwarfs could not rouse her, so they put her in a glass casket. One day a prince came by, and pushed over the casket by accident. A piece of apple fell out of Snow-White ' s mouth, and she became alive again. The prince crowned her his queen, and they lived happily ever after. 1 SJ , ' — - -—4 ' Back row — Margaret Crawford.
