We thank our contribu- tors and the members of the underclass staff for their efforts which have made possible the success of The Garnet and White this year. We thank the Faculty advisors for their aid and advice and our advertisers for the support they have given us. We hope that we have produced a magazine that has been an enjoyment to everyone and something that they may keep as a reminder of the joys and the griefs of High School days; and, if we have in any way failed in our aim, we hope that our successors will profit by our deficiencies and succeed where we have failed. Our material and active work for W. C. II. S. is nearly finished, but we shall forever be with her in spirit. Many of us will become loyal supporters of other Alma Maters, but the ties that bind us to West Chester High will never be severed, but will grow stronger day by day. As Alumni we shall try to give West Chester the excellent backing she has always re- ceived from her “old grads,” and we hope we may be remembered, as we have re- membered our Alumni, as members of one great family. On our “magic-carpet” Diplomas we shall fly to all parts of the world, and we shall become lost in the multitudes, but let us always remember that “we be of one school, you and I,” and at every opportun- ity let us have a reunion. Let us be al- ways as we have been in W. C. H. S., “All for one and one for all May The Gar- net and White each month be the voice of a bigger and a better school, and each month may this voice carry its message of honor, integrity, and devotion to all ends of the earth. Our dream of student government has been realized. The Student Council is or- ganized and living up to all expectations. “Finis opus coronat!” It is well worth all the effort necessary to get it. Students, you who will be Seniors next year and you who will be their loyal supporters and the back- bone of the school, wc Seniors have done al in our power to help you get this great or- ganization, one that will mean the com- plete unification of the school, a democratic representative body that will link Faculty and student body and every class into one great unit with one great aim and ideal, to make W. C. H. S. the school preeminent among all others; may you do all in your power to carry out this ideal and to perfect the system. On the class rings of '23 is engraved a .torch. Without this torch the beauty of the ring is gone. Student government is this torch. As the words “West Chester High School” center about the torch, so the West Chester High School centers about student government. It is the Light and the Life of the School. “Twenty-three” has lighted it and “To you from falling hands We throw the torch; he yours to hold it high!” JUNE “And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays —James Russell Lowell. THE GARNET AND WHITE 3 SENIOR GLASS OFFICERS EUGENE MARTIN Scientific “See, the conquering hero comes.”—Handel Baseball I, II, III, IV; Baseball Manager II; Football II, III, IV; Basketball II, III, IV; Basketball Captain III; Glee Club III, IV; Executive Committee, General Association I, IV; Captain of Indian Division IV; Class President IV; Hall Monitor IV; Honor Point Letter III. After tlie enumeration of his various achievements very little needs to be said about “Hecker” or bis stand- ing in the class. We all like him and feel great confi- dence in his ability as a leader. We are sure lie will soon be prominent in both the athletic and the social activi- ties of the college so fortunate as to have him enrolled as a student. AMY HALDEMAN Classical “Yet do I fear your nature; It is too full of the milk of human kindness.”—Shakespeare Vice President IV; Captain Sunset Division IV; Glee Club III, IV; Monitor IV. Amy is one of our most popular girls, not only with her classmates, but with the whole school. Everybody likes her; she’s just too sweet not to like. She expects to go to college next year, and we’re sure, though she’ll find many new friends, she’ll not forget her old ones. It will be a lucky college that gets our Amy, too! Best of luck, Amy; keep on through life as you have in High School, and you’ll always be on top. MARGARET T. HARPER Commercial “How near to good is what is fair.”—Jonson Vice President II; Secretary IV; Girls’ Glee Club IV; Cer- tificate and Medal in Typewriting. Here’s to “Peggy,” Secretary of our Senior Class, and one of our distinguished Glee Club members. Petite and attractive she is and always happy. She has made many friends because she is always “nice to everyone.” We wish you every success as “Somebody’s Stenog,” “Peggy.” JOHN CHAMBERS Commercial A gallant in love.”—Tennyson Garnet and White Staff I, III, IV; Baseball II, III, IV, Manager II, III; Glee Club IV; Treasurer IV. According to “Bertie” he has been in love unsuccess- fully all four years. There, are some, however, who would disagree with him. Now isn’t that right, girls? Bertie is one of those boys who wants what he wants when be wants it, and be usually gets it. As bis record shows, his whole time is not devoted to falling in and out of love. Oh! no, not Bertie! And all we have to sav is that some people were born lucky. Good luck at U. of P. next year, Bertie, and “don’t get hurt!” 4 tiie garnet and jviiite CLASS ROLL GERTRUDE ADAMS Commercial “Quietness is a near friend to Dignity.”—Byron Health Crusader IV. Gertrude is one of our quiet girls. Whatever she sets out to do, she does and does it right. She is a very dignified Senior, not fond of sports; but she enjoys get- ting down and tackling bookkeeping, which is more than can be said of most of us. Gertrude is undecided as to her plans, but, whatever they may be, we know she will be successful. Best of luck to you, Gertrude. THOMAS FRANKLIN ALEXANDER General “He loves me best who calls me Tom.”—Bacon Monitor IV; Leadership Story Contest Prize IV; Meredith Contest I, III, IV. Tom is one of our rays of sunlight. He is nearly al- ways smiling, and he is one of the few people who have no enemies. He goes along quietly and cheerfully, and then, all of a sudden, we arc surprised to hear that he has done something distinguished. Even the faculty is sur- prised by his sudden visits to Fame’s portals. We hope that these visits will become more and more frequent as the years roll by and that he will live to a ripe and re nowned old age. He has not vet decided what he will do after leaving W. C. H. S. ANN ARMENT Normal “Let gentleness thy strong enforcement be.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV. Ann is one of the Seniors who, though modest and unassuming, has won an enduring place in the hearts of her classmates. Ann just “filled Elizabeth’s place here this year, and we are sorry the Junior Class has no sister to be left them by Ann as she was left to us, for they will miss a treasure indeed. Ann expects to go on with her studies in music next year, and we know that she is bound straight ahead for fame. CHARLES JOHN BACHMAN Scientific “Great oaks from little acorns grow.”—Holmes Decorating Committee IV. “Pee-Wee” is small but “ full-o-pep. He is a great hit with the ladies. Probably his coming from Malvern has something to do with his numerous conquests, both in school and society, of which we have all heard. He expects to come back to the High School next year to take a post-graduate course, and we wish him luck—and happiness. THE GARNET AND WHITE a DOROTHY B. BARNETT Normal Fair and holy—maid of purity.”—Tennyson Locker Room Monitor IV; Health Crusader IV; Science Club. “Dot has been with us during the whole four years of High School life and lias consistently held a quiet but important place in the class. Her gentle, cheery smile is given to all alike, and, though laughing sometimes, per- haps, at the Seniors playing tag in Bl, she is always ready to help others to have fun. We hope that your life at Normal School next year will be as happy as your life at High School has been, “Dot.” AIMEE LUCINDA BATTIN Classical ‘ Her eyes are clear pools of delight.”—Bacon Assistant Treasurer III; Glee Club III, IV. Aimee is one of these quiet girls who suddenly burst forth and create sensations. This is Aimee’s habit when translating Virgil. One always finds Aimee ready for a good time and lots of fun, and the whole school will miss her when she goes next year to Bucknell College, where we wish her success. ADELAIDE BRINTON Commercial “How near to good is what is fair.”—Jonson Adelaide is one of our “cute” little Seniors. She is now the proud possessor of a medal won for speed in typewriting. She is undecided concerning next year. Here’s to your good luck, Adelaide, and may it be a con- tinuation of your business career. MARSHALL BRINTON General “And both were young—and one was beautiful.”—Byrcn “Torehy” has been an ardent eheerer at all our games, and be and his “Lizzie” are quite familiar sights about town. He has lots ol pep and with the other com- mittee members of tile fair sex will give us a first-class Senior Commencement dance. “Torehy is quite un- decided about next year, but, well, we all wish you luck, old fellow. THE GARNET AND WHITE GEORGE LEROY BROOKS General “Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.”—Carlyle Baseball I, II, III, IV, Capt. IV; Basketball III, IV, Capt. IV; Football IV; Sergeant-at-arms I; President of Class III; Sunset Division Captain IV; Executive Committee of General Association III; Glee Club III; Treasurer of Science Club III. “Chisel, or “Chis,” as lie is commonly known’, though his revered teachers call him “LeRoy,” is one of the most prominent boys at High School. He has taken an active part in all school affairs ever since he was the greenest of green Presides. Perhaps ’tis his ready smile that has won his way into the hearts of so many of the fairer sex; but no matter what the reason, “Chisel” cer- tainly is a “ladies’ man.” His popularity, however, is not confined to either sex, and we are sure he will make a name for himself at the Philadelphia College of Phar- macy, which he expects to attend next year. MABEL BROSIUS Commercial “Your eyes have told me many secrets.”—Bacon Monitor IV; Glee Club. Marne” is one of those quiet girls who don’t say much, but—well, you know “Marne.” She’s got lots of pep and energy, and, although she won’t tell us what she will do next year, we are sure that, whatever it is, it will be both interesting and successful. Here’s luck to you, “Marne,” and best wishes for success! ETHEL BROWN Normal “Oh, keep me innocent, make others great.”—Queen of Denmark F.thel is one of the youngest and brightest members of ’23. And don’t we all just love her? She is just a happy-go-lucky country girl with a very fascinating way about her. Ethel’s bright ey'es and lovable disposition have won her many true friends during her High School year. We won’t forget you, “Brownie.” Ethel expects to attend N ormal. NOTMAN CATANACH “He is full of the very joy of living.”—Shakespeare Class Treasurer II; Member of Improvement Committee IV; Monitor IV. “Nuts” Catanach has been with '23 from start to finish. “Nuts” is quick and active and has done all in his power to help the class along. He has not been a shining star in athletics, but we are sure he would have been had he only attained greater stature. We wish you success in college, “Nuts,” and hope you’ll think of us sometimes. THE GARNET AND WHITE 7 HAROLD LESLIE CHALFANT “True blue, a good sport through and through.”—Hayes Track I, II, III, IV; Track Captain IV; Football II, III, IV; Football Captain IV; Captain of Yankee Division IV. “Slip” Clialfant lias been with the class of ’23 for its entire four years. “Slip” is, as Mr. Adam said, “True blue;” and be has at all times done bis very best to sup- port tlie honor of the class and the school in all athletic activities. ’23 certainly could not have gotten along without “Slip.” “Slip” is as yet undecided about what he will do next year. GEORGE D. CONN Commercial “And good luck go with you.”—Shakespeare “Reds” is one of the quiet members of our class. He hails from Glen Loch, a large metropolis in the direction of Malvern. “Reds” is always a favorite with the girls and at all times has quite a bevy around him. George is undecided about his future, but we wish him luck. GEORGE W. CONWAY Scientific The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.”—Pope Assistant Manager Football III; Manager Football IV. George is one of our most popular Senior bojrs. He became so used to making dates for the football team that lie hasn’t stopped yet; only he makes them for himself now. George is a regular “ladies’ man,” but, in spite of that fact, he went out for sports all four years. George expects to go West this summer, but he is undecided as to his plans for the fall. ANNA B. COPE Classical “With roses in her cheeks, their sweetness in her smile.” —Shakespeare Assistant Treasurer II, IV; Monitor IV. “Copie's” rosy cheeks are quite renowned about High School, and one never can resist her lovely smile. We feel sure “Copie” will meet with success at Temple next year, where she will go and carry with her our love and best wishes. 8 THE GARNET AND WHITE BEATRICE COX Commercial “A quiet smile, a kindly word and we are well content”—Holmes “Bee?” Oh, yes! That very tall, sedate girl with the brown eyes. “Bee” is undecided about next year, but we are sure that if she decides to take a position her dignity and air of responsibility, together with her abil- ity, will win her success. AMELIA CRAWFORD General With loving words she soothed her friend”—Nelson Amelia is a gentle little miss with a very big sense of humor, and her merry, and often unexpected, laughter has brightened many a dull class. Amelia is the kind of person who always has “something nice” to tell one when one feels blue, and we’ll all miss her cheery little self when we are “far away’’ from each other. Here’s luck to you, Amelia, at Normal, and may you ever go on being a ray of sunshine. EDITH P. DARLINGTON General Smiles will drive all cares away. —Long Basketball IV; Monitor IV; Art Club IV. Edith, better known to her friends as “Seeds,” must belong to some club or society whose motto is “Smile and be Happy,” for she is always ready to do some mischief or play a trick on some one. Aside from being a good all-around pal, she is a good student. We wish her the best of luck in her course at State Normal. THORA DAVIS Normal The wiles which do beguile my heart are thine.”—Anon. Tliora is the kind of girl whose presence makes school a place worth attending. She likes everybody; consequently, everybody likes her. Long after our school days are over, we will remember her impish eyes and her irresistible giggle which brightened many a dull class. She insists that she will go to Normal and teach three years, but we doubt if such attractive “wiles as she possesses will permit this! Tliora, may you have all the success and happiness that you deserve! THE GARNET AND WHITE 9 CATHARINE DAWSON Commercial Gold, gold, gold, gold, Bright and red, hard and cold.”—Hood Glee Club III, IV; Monitor IV. Billy?” You don’t mean to say you don't know “Billy!” Well, see that red bobbed itairr That’s “Billy.” You can always tell her by her fiery bobbed hair and contagious smile. They sav, you know, that people with red hair have tempers to match, but we’ve never seen any evidence of such an undesirable trait as that in Billy,’ and we have yet to meet the person who has. But be- cause her temper is calm doesn’t sav that she is. Vim, vigor and vitality, that’s Billy!” ROBERT H. DECKER Scientific “With roguish look and merry laugh.”—Tyler Orchestra III and IV; Monitor IV; Cheer Leader IV. Since Bob” entered High School, he has made a host of friends. We might add that he, too, is quite a “ladies’ man.” We all like him, and we wish him the best of success. He intends to enter either Penn State or Tuft’s College. EDYTHE DONAHUE Classical “I am a part of all I have.”—Bulwer Lytton Health Crusade III; French Club IV. Kdythe has quite a number of nicknames, but the one by which Bl knows her is “Dizzy.” She has been with the class for only the last two years, but she is a friend and a great favorite of all. She is always happy and having fun with the rest of her classmates. We shall all miss her next year. She expects to go to Philadelphia Business College. LOUIS WILLIAM DUTT Commercial “Zealous, yet modest.”—Beattie “Duttv” is one of those unobtrusive fellows who are always ready to smile and joke, no ma’.ter how busy they are. Dull times and “Duttv” are not very good friends and are never found together. He expects to take an office position after graduation. We know he will “make good,” and we wish him success. 10 THE GARNET AND WHITE ELIZABETH W. ELDRIDGE Secretarial “A daughter of Elysium.”—Beethoven Basketball Varsity Team III, IV; Athletic Captain of “Sun- set” Division IV; Tennis Club IV; Secretary Improvement Com- mittee IV. But a pal for all that, you'd be glad to have.” Sometimes she’s sad, sometimes glad, “Betty” is a real sport in every sense of tlie word. She is well known and beloved by all her classmates, and she has made many friends during her four busy years of High School. She is one of the most active members of the Senior Class. You will never be disappointed if you expect a bright smile or a cheery word, for these are two things of which “Betty” seems to have a wonderful sup- ply. So, “Betty,” we all wish you all kinds of good luck, and we hope that success will attend you in all your en- terprises. NORMAN ENTRIKEN Classical In truth, a lad by fortune favored.”—Shakespeare “Shorty,” as his nickname implies, is not very tall, but that makes no difference, for lie is a good sport and is liked by everyone. Wherever you meet him, he always has a smile which is quite contagious. He is undecided as to what lie is going to do, but we are sure that his buoyancy will help him through life, and he has the best wishes of the Class of ’23. HELEN ESBIN General “The thoughts of sums and such were good to her.”—Dunbar Helen is one of those silent, unassuming girls who speak only when they have something worth while to say. Too bad more of us don’t possess this unusual gift -the world might be a li tie different if there were more of us like Helen. Helen has one line in which she posi- tively excels—that is arithmetic. She has the habit of coming smilingly to class with questions perfectly solved which seemed to us ordinary people nothing less than hopeless. Helen will attend the Normal School next year, and we hope she will specialize in that branch in which she is so proficient. MARIE FACCIOLLI Commercial Quand mime.”—Bernhardt Marie is another one of our quiet girls. But when she once starts to talk, doesn’t she just make us all sit up and listen, especially in reading shorthand notes! Marie, with her black hair and flashing eyes, has gotien along very well in school and—she just loves Office Prac- tice ! ! Marie is undecided as to her plans for next year, but we wish her all success in whatever she may take up. THE GARNET AND WHITE 11 SARAH E. W. FACKLER Classical “No question is too large for her to solve.”—Shaw Science Club III; Garnet and White Staff IV; French Club IV. “Sally” is one of tlie most popular girls in our class. Everyone likes her, and for this reason throughout her High School course she has been chosen by her class- mates for many offices which cannot be listed here. “Sally” is always cheerful and has that rare ability to see both sides of every question. She has not yet decided what school she will attend next year. JAMES F. GARDINER Scientific “Let music fall upon mine ear and all my senses soothe.” —Shakespeare Science Club III; Glee Club IV; Tennis Manager IV; Foot- ball III. “Jimmy,” one of our best musicians, is known for bis happy smile which is extended to everyone. His bass voice will be sorely missed in the Glee Club next year. If anyone wishes to hear something really good, he should have “Jimmy” give him a few good numbers on his guitar. James is undecided as to his future, but we are sure he will make an enthusiastic, successful student in some college. FRANKLIN GILL General “But genius must be born and never can be taught. —Dryden Chess Club III, IV; Glee Club IV. “Frank,” our good baritone singer, has many friends. “Frank's” brain makes up for any lack of study. We are sure he will make a genius of some kind, because of what seems to be an unseen intelligence that ever ac- counts for itself well. We cannot help but wonder what a wizard he would be if he were ever serious with his lessons. Franklin will continue his intellectual efforts by at- tending the West Chester State Normal School next year. Good luck, “Frank!” DOROTHY GILLINGHAM General “Raven hair and soulfull eyes inspired with peace.”—Longfellow Disarmament Essay Prize III; Debate Team IV; Literary Editor Garnet and White IV. “Dot” did not enter our class until the Sophomore year; but, since then, she has certainly been making up for lost time. She is vety calm, but very efficient. Be- sides her other achievements in the scholastic line, she is one of the nightingales in the Girls’ Glee Club. She in- tends to further cultivate her voice at the New York Conservatory of Music, but she does not intend to neglect her practical education; for she will also attend business school in the near future. 12 THE GARNET AND WHITE ELINORE E. HAINES General ‘A dignity that truly meets no equal here.”—Tennyson Chess Club IV. Elinore is one of the high points in the Senior Class, not because of exciting experiences, but on account of her stature. Although she is very quiet and sedate, she likes her bit of fun as well as the rest of us. Elinore is as yet undecided as to just what she will do next year; but our good wishes will go with her, no matter where she goes to continue her studies. HARRIET HAINES General ‘ Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is sweet humility.”—Montgomery Glee Club I, III, IV; Monitor IV; Garnet and White Staff III, IV. “Hats” is known to almost everyone, for she has spoken in chapel, and spoken well, heaps of times. Re- member when she was up there as a little Chinese maid- en, “Quenlin?” Wasn’t she pretty, and didn’t she act well! We won’t ever forget “Hats,” not only because of that, but because she lias endeared herself to us by al- ways being ready to help if she could in whatever way possible. “Hats” expects to take a P. G. course and to pursue her musical studies. We wish her the best of luck. BERNICE OLGA HAYNES General “A friend to nature and to all.”—Holmes Although Bernice has been a rather reserved and quiet person in a noisy class, she surely has some wisdom in her head. This is a proof of the statement that “Still waters run deep,” for it was she who taught us the lesson about preserving certain wild flowers in the woods in the spring. Bernice wishes to take a course at Fiske University. BEATRICE HARP Commercial “Smiles and laughter follow in her train.”—Shakespeare Secretary Spanish Class II; Typewriting Certificate and Medal IV. “Bee” is one of our studious commercialites, but through it all she has gained many friends. They are not all in our High School, either. Her shining eyes and smiling face are often seen behind the wheel of a “Red Paige.” “Bee,” we wish you as much success as a student at the Normal as you have had in High School. THE GARNET AND WHITE 13 MARY HARRAR Classical There's rosemary; that's for remembrance.”—Shakespeare Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Contest III; Valedictorian of the Class. Mary is one of the brainiest people in the class. Ever see tier report? Well! it’s rather amazing the number of A’s and B’s it displays. Mary is pretty and quiet, but very efficient in all she undertakes, and we feel sure she will meet with success next year “out in the cold, cold world” at Normal School. Good luck to our Valedic- torian ! HELEN HEATLEY General The bashful virgin’s sidelong looks of love.”—Goldsm'th Basketball II; Glee Club III; Hockey IV. “Sis” believes in getting the most out of life in all its phases, and we must admit that she likes to dance almost as well as she likes to study. She expects to attend Pierce’s Business College next fall. li e rather expect, however, that after the completion of this course she will obtain a position with some fine business man, perhaps one that will last a lifetime. WILLIAM HEYBURN Scientific “Men sheathed their swords for lack of argument.” French Club III; Monitor IV. “Bill Heyburn has as sunny a disposition as can he found anywhere; in fact, when he hits W est ( liester in his sedan, Old Sol hasn’t got a ghost of a chance. He is quietly industrious and sparklingly sociable. Further- more. lie is a good pal with a ready sympathy and under- standing that have often been used to minister eonsola- tion to his friends. May he never have cause to regret his kindness. So here’s hoping he obtains “A happy life, a pretty wife, and half a ton of money.’ ELIZABETH HIBBERD Commercial “A violet by a mossy bank Half hidden from the eye.”—Wordsworth Health Crusader IV. Gentle and demure is little “Betty.” She has been too busy studying to attract much attention in High School. But won’t she he a great credit to our elass be- eause she has learned to “paddle her own canoe.” She is very much interested in all her lessons, and she has been successful in mastering them. Betty will take a posi- tion. THE GARNET AND WHITE n MILDRED HIBBERD Normal “A heart with room for all.”—Temple Glee Club IV. Mildred hails from Malvern, and we don’t envy her those cold winter mornings; but, in spite of all inconven- iences, she is very jolly as well as attractive, and one can always have a lot of fun with her. Mildred expects to attend the West Chester State Normal School. We surely wish her great success in teaching. JESSIE HOFFMAN General A cheery word with which to start the day.”—Hayes Glee Club III, IV; French Club IV. Jessie is another peaceful lassie, but one who is known throughout the school. She has a ready stock of smiles, of which she is not saving, and her cheery words of greeting have met many an “early bird,” for Jessie has always been a first arrival at school in the morning. We wish her all success next year in whatever she under- takes at Swarthmore. ELIZABETH C. HOOPES General “A smile that glowed Celestial, rosy red, love’s proper hue.”—Milton Basketball I; Garnet and White Staff III; Glee Club III. “Dib” Hoopcs—one of the best loved fjirls in school! Wherever one sees a bevy of underclassmen, and “Peg” Williamson in particular, one can be sure that “Dib” is the center of attraction. Everyone loves “I)ib,” even the Faculty; she is so petite and has such a merry laugh we just can’t help it. “Dib” expects to attend Miss Illman’s Kindergarten Training School next year, and we wish her all the success she deserves. JOHN HOOPES General Bid me discourse; I will enchant thine ear.”—Shakespeare Class President I; Chess Team III, IV; Assembly Program Committee IV. During bis four years’ sojourn with us, John has always been able to uphold his own beliefs, and we look back with awe and admiration to his speeches in our class meetings. We hope that he will bring success to himself and fame to the High School as either a lawyer or a lecturer. tiie garnet and white 15 WILLIAM HOOPES “With the soul of a poet a happy man he’ll be.”—Anon. Science Club IV; French Club IV; Monitor IV. “Bill” Iloopes lias not been particularly prominent, but lie lias quietly given his bit toward making up the backbone of the class, and what would ’23 or any class be without backbone? Nothing! So we must not for- get “Bill” who is part of the backbone, and we are sure we shall never forget some of the tilings he has written Here’s success to you, “Bill!” KAY HUMPHREY Classical “Words are sweet as honey from his lips distilled.”—Homer Assistant Editor of Garnet and White III; Editor-in-Chief of Garnet and White IV; Member of Debate Team III; Captain of Debate Team IV; First Prize Junior Essay III; First Prize Senior Essay IV; Honor Point Letter III; Winner of D. Webster Meredith Prize Speaking Contest IV; Winner of Oratorical Con- test held at Swarthmore College IV; Third Prize “American Boy Magazine” Contest; Honor Speaker at Commencement IV. Everybody knows Kay, and “I.iz .ie,” the old Ford. Kay certainly will be missed next year in the debate team, for he is one of the best West Chester has ever had. Another tiling Kay is blessed with is a sense of humor; one never saw him angry except maybe at his brother. Kay expects to go to Swarthmore or Princeton next year, and we shall expect to bear soon of new laurels he has won in debating, writing or speaking. W. EARL HUTTON Commercial “A steady pace—and you have won. —Holmes “Squirrel” is one of those steady workers of our class whose presence is little noted but whose absence would have been sorely felt. He is always smiling and cheer- full and a help to all. He expects to take a position after graduation. We wish him all the success he deserves. MARIAN INGRAM Normal “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.”—Anon. Monitor IV; Glee Club IV; French Club IV; Honorable Mention Senior Essay IV; Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Con- test for Girls III, IV. Marian is one of our sweet Senior girls of whom we may be very proud. She is remarkably studious and haG made an excellent record. She is conscientious and always dependable, and we are sure she will make a fine teacher when she grduates from W. C. S. N. Success to you, Marian! THE GARNET AND WHITE l(i MARJORIE PAQUITA IVANS General Content thyself to be obscurely good.”—Addison Cheer Leader III, IV; Monitor IV; Glee Club III, IV. “Marge” is our impromptu cheer leader for all times. She is one of the peppiest people in our class, and every- one knows and likes her. “Marge’s” greatest problem has been in trying to keep out of Tin-: Garnet and White pages, but we always had her there somewhere. “Marge is going somewhere to college; and the college that “draws her will get a bundle of pep and energy— the kind that encourages “clean sport and helps to win victories. V. C. II. S. will miss you, Marjorie! JOHN JOHN Scientific ‘‘A man of business and of full efficiency.”—Shakespeare Class President II; Executive Committee II; Class Treasurer III; Assistant Business Manager Garnet and White III; Business Manager Garnet and White IV; Track Manager IV; Monitor IV; Honor Speaker at Commencement IV. John did not burst upon us like a bolt of lightning, hut hv steady industry, determination and a natural aptitude for leadership he has won an enduring place in our hearts and, as his record indicates, in our affairs. That our days will be lonelier without him no one can doubt, but, sorry as we shall he to part from him and his gaiety, we are unanimous in wishing him success at “State.” WILLIAM JONES “A lad of fortune and of grace.”—Shakespeare Baseball Manager IV. “Bill” is an active and efficient baseball manager; however, we hope he .never mixes his baseball dates as we happen to know he has mixed “some” others. “Bill’’ and his big red Stephens are familiar figures about the High School and at all our games; for he takes an active interest in spirts, both indoor and out. “Bill’ expects to go to the L'. of P. next year and attend Wharton School. We wish him success. LONDON BERNARD JONES Normal “Success go with you in your work.”—Pcige Track I, II, III, IV; Football IV. London, the well known track star, was also a mem- ber of tile football team of 1922, and he “did his bit to help defeat Berwyn, our great rival for “Gridiron Hon- ors.” As well as being a winner of medals and cups, he has represented the High School in many other athletic events.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 17 SARAH ELIZABETH KERR General “A merry heart goes all the day.”—Shakespeare Assistant Treasurer I; Garnet and White Staff III; Vice President III. “Betty” is the glad girl” of our class. “Betty” never worries about anything or anybody, and she is al- ways laughing. She has laughed her way into all our hearts, and we shall miss her cheerful comradeship when we are all going our separate paths next year. We shall all remember “Betty” and her smile though, and we feel sure that she will make many new friends at Temple University next year. JANET KIFT General “A tower to the skies; she'll pluck the sunshine there.”—Anon. “Lankie” is one of the “little flower girls” of the Senior Class. She is very fond of sports and always seems interested in the games between Norristown and our High School.

She is undecided as to what she will do after leaving school, but we are sure she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. KATHERINE KNOX General “I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please.”—Shakespeare Glee Club I. Ill; Garnet and White Staff III; Editor Notes and Comments IV; Honorable Mention Senior Essay IV. Everybody knows “K.” She is one of those irresis- tible people that you just have to like. One would never guess, to hear her laugh and see her flit—no other word quite describes it—from one place to the next and usually back again, that beneath the surface a genius lies. Yes, “K” is quite the poet of the class, and she is remark- ably clever and original. Her brain lias been adequately developed and constantly kept in training, not in keep- ing her out of trouble, but getting her out after she once gets in. Characteristic of “K,” she has not decided what she will do next year, but never mind, we love her just the same, and we wish her all kinds of luck no matter where she lands. F. EVELYN LAPP Classical “------ and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew.” Assistant Treasurer I, III; Honorable Mention Junior Essay III; Glee Club III, IV. Evelyn is one of our “peppy” Malvernites and is surely a good sport. Evelyn with her high marks, num- erous love affairs and cheery smile, always accompanied by “Copie.” has been a familiar and much-loved figure in our class, and we pass her on to Mount Holyoke with good wishes and—regrets at losing her. 18 THE GARNET AND WHITE BRUCE LESLIE Commercial Quiet, yes, but with a smile of greatest merit.’’—Shakespeare Basketball Manager IV; President Hi-Y IV; Monitor IV. “Bud” is tile Sheik of the Class of ’2.'5 with his ready smile and readier wit.

BLANCHE LINEAU Commercial “May fortune take your hand and lead you on.”—Shaw As silence is golden, “Blcnco” will be worth millions some day.

GEORGE CHARLES LITTLETON Commercial Mine honor let me try; In that I live, for that I die.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV; Hi-Y Club IV. “Charlie” used to be a bashful, “little” fellow, but —not any more, not since his lucky night at the High School party. “Charlie’s” right there now, in everything. He expects to take a position next year, and we wish him luck. DOROTHY STRICKLAND LOOMIS Normal “Speech is silver; silence is gold.”—Carlyle Glee Club III, IV. “Dot” surely does like to sing and also to pass her time up in C9, where she has made many beautiful things. She has lots of pep, too, and has been a well- known figure at all our games. We wish you lots of good things for the future, “Dot,” and may Fortune’s favor ever smile upon you. “Dot” is undecided about next year, but thinks of attending Normal. THE GARNET AND WHITE I!) HELEN E. LOZO Commercial “Silence is a virtue.’’- Goldsmith Typewriting Certificate IV; Typewriting Medal IV.

Helen expects to take a position. BLANCHE McCOY MALIN Classical “She shall have music wherever she goes.”—Lowell Garnet and White Staff I; Piano in Orchestra I, IV; Violin II; Assistant Class Treasurer III. Blanche’s full name is Blanche McCoy Malin, but her middle name really ought to be “Music.” The or- chestra and school will be sorry not to have her familiar figure playing tunes for us. Music is not her only ac- complishment; she excels in math, and Virgil as well. Blanche is another one of those fine additions from Mal- vern. She expects to attend Gouchcr College next year. JESSE MALIN Commercial “Tell and strong as sturdy oaks.”—Whittier Orchestra IV; Band IV; Spelling Team IV. We all remember the. day Jes” chewed gum in the spelling bee in chapel, and, despite this apparent handi- cap. did pretty good work. He has also been a member of our orchestra, and we know the school will miss him and bis saxophone. “Jess,” like a great many of us, is undecided about next .year. ANNA R. MELONEY Classical “Health and happiness go hand in hand.” Assistant Editor Garnet and White IV; Garnet and White Staff III; Basketball teem III; Captain Basketball IV; Honor- able Mention Senior Essay IV; Salutatorian of the Senior Class; Member of Program Committee IV. “Bee Bee” is one of our Titian Tints and a shining light of ’23. She is full of pep and energy, and her les- sons have always come in for their share of attention in the appliance of that energy. “Bee Bee” is known and loved by the entire school, and we shall sorely miss her ready smile and good nature, though we shall ever keep her in our thoughts and hearts. Anna expects to go to Swarthmore College next year, and we send her with wishes for success and good luck. THE GARNET AND WHITE 20 GRACE B. MATTSON General “Fair as the lily—sweet as the rose—”—Shakespeare Monitor IV. Grace lias been with us only two years, but in that time she has endeared herself to us all.

ELEANOR MATTHEWS Commercial “A shining halo 'round her head.”—Shakespeare Eleanor is one of that steadfast, dependable surt of people who make the world revolve properly on its axis. Her q uiet smile and firm voice are reassuring and pleas- ant. She must be nice when she can get along peacefully with her brother! Such a feat is almost unheard of—and naturally is a subject of wonder to her classmates. How do you do it, Eleanor? Eleanor is going to enter the business world—good luck to you ! WILLARD B. MATTHEWS Normal “A friend is worth all hazards we can run.”—Young French Club III; Science Club III, IV; Glee Club IV; Locker Room Monitor IV. “Bill,” one of our faithful Glee Club boys, is known by everyone.

Willard expects to increase his intellectual capacity at West Chester State Normal School next year. RODERICK McKENNA Industrial Scientific “The rod that supports many things of value to the earth.” —Harris Football I. “Rod” has been one of the quiet, steady workers of the Senior Class whose presence has been little noted, but whose absence would have been a misfortune.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 21 MARION MEREDITH General A serious lass wherein lies deep a sense of humor rare.”—Strong During Marion’s years at High School she has made many friends and enjoyed the fun created in High School.

HELEN MELLOR General “Silence is a virtue here.”—Tyler Science Club IV; Basketball IV. Helen is one of '23’s quiet girls; at least one would think so to see her in her classes; but when out of class sbe is the most lively person one would wish to meet. She intends to go to State College and to study Agriculture there. After she finishes College, she is going to stay at home and “run” the farm. Helen, we know you will revolutionize things so that women will soon be the best farmers obtainable. JAMES PAUL MOSTELLER Commercial “His path—, may it be ever smooth and straight.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV; Member of Sanitary Squad IV; Baseball III; Football Squad IV. “Jim” used to be full of pep, but he seems to have used up some of his ambition and to have lost lots of sleep on account of that rattling, little old Ford of his. We are glad that he belongs to us, however, and we shall miss his ever-ready smile. He will enter Drexel in the fall. MARIE V. A. MUSANTE General And still be doing, never done.”—Butler Marie is noted for her good nature, which has won many friends for her during her High School course. She possesses a rare, contagious laugh which very often bursts forth unexpectedly, so I’ve heard it said. Marie is uncertain about her work next year, but whatever she attempts she will accomplish. Good luck, Marie. 22 THE GARNET AND WHITE JAMES NIDER Commercial To be strong is to be happy.”—Longfellow Baseball Team I, II, III, IV; Basketball Team II, III, IV; Monitor of Boys’ Cloak Room IV; Football Squad I, II, “Oliver is our “chewing gum kid.” Without a stick of gum, “Oliver would be as useless as Steve Brodie without a chance to take. “Oliver” lias been a member of the baseball team as well as of the basket ball tea.u for four years.

EMALINE PASSMORE General Slowly but surely into our hearts she crept.”—Lamb Glee Club IV; Basketball IV; Captain of Yankee Division IV; Winner of $100 Prize in B. end O.

We wish her success in what- ever walk of life she takes up. LEROY PRATT Commercial “Smile and the world smiles with you.”—Jessie Wilcox Monitor IV; Typewriting Certificate IV; Typewriting Medal IV. “Pratty” is another one of our faithful Pocopson stu- dents.

MARIAN BALDWIN PRATT Classical “Whatever anyone does or says, I must be good.” —Amelius Antonius First Prize Disarmament Essay III; Assistant Class Treas- urer II; Spelling Team IV; Captain Second Debate Team IV; Honor Speaker for Commencement IV. Although Marian has been with us for only three years, she has become a most valued member of the class. In Latin and French she is indeed a shark, and she helped beat Coatesville in both spelling matches. Mar- ian is not lacking in pep either for she has entered into everv kind of school activity, and we wish her a great deal of luck at George School next year. MERRIL PRATT Commercial “Knowledge is power.”—Bacon Certificate in Typewriting IV; Baseball Squad IV. “Yes, “Prattie” is a member of the famous clan who hail from Pocopson. “Prattie” has always been a bright light in the Commercial Department with his little win- ning smile.

Basketball III, IV; Baseball IV; Captain Rainbow Division IV; Honor Point Letter III; Garnet and White Staff III, IV. “Sats,” or “Spratty” or “Sally,” as she is variously called by her many friends, has never astounded us by any dazzling deeds, but she is one of the strongest ver- tebrae of the “Twenty-three’s” backbone. She lias served on almost every committee and lias done well; she is a member of every club and a strong and active backer of every improvement movement in the school. Lucky indeed will Swarthmore be, when Sarah car- ries her energy and support there next year, and her niche in W. C. H. S. will be verj' hard to fill. CHARLES RAY “Fame and fortune—here you rest.”—Homer Football II, III, IV; Baseball III, IV. “Charley has been the backbone and the star of our football team for three years. He has won us the day, time and again, and long and loud have we cheered, “Ray! Ray! Ray!” Charles hopes to go to Brown University next year to study medicine—and play foot ball. We can well imagine “Charley” saving his patients through determination and grit as he saved his school, and we are sure he will be a great success. ESTHER REAGAN General “A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind.”—Garrick Glee Club, III, IV; Art Club IV. Esther is one of those lucky people who have talent in the artistic line. She has done good work in this line in High School and given her loyal backing to the Art Club—and Esther’s backing means a lot, for she has a great store of enthusiasm which she is able to pour out on whatever secures her interest. We envy the place where she will take up her activities next; for we know that she will be a credit to it. Good wishes for success, Esther! SARA A. RODEBACK General ‘ A horse is men’s best friend.”—Lyon Health Crusader III. Small she is, to be sure, but she fills a very big place in the hearts of her friends. Ever see a snappy little pony with a snappy little driver about town. Well, that’s the Rodeback “outfit,” and we wish we might always see her small person about school. However, we wish her luck in whatever she undertakes next year, and we beg her to remember us all. THE GARNET AND WHITE 25 YEARLD F. RODENHAVER General “The sex is ever to a soldier kind.”—Homer Relief Leader IV. If “Bud” were as good in Iiis lessons as lie is at danc- ing, he would have topped the class. And girls?

He is a quiet fellow and doesn’t say very much in school, but outside—lie’s a good sport through and through. Although he’s been with 11s only two years, he has made a place in our midst for himself, and it will long remain vacant when he has gone away to college “somewhere.” FLORENCE RUTH General “A nature such as thine will sure succeed.”—Lane Monitor in Girls’ Locker Room IV.

Harlan, sometimes identified as “Harpie,” is one of our radio and science sharks. He is usually found in company with other scientific hoys in our school. He “spits” electricity and talks in formulae. Sharpless will surely make a great engineer someday. You have all good wishes for success at college from ’23. ELBERSON SMITH Commercial “I am so merry that I do beguile all one’s hours. —Dante Baseball III, IV; Hi-Y Club IV. Everybody knows “Babe,” our “Home Hun King.” “Babe” is one of our most cheerful boys, and he has a big broad smile that is very contagious. If you are coming- down the hall feeling pretty blue and glum, and you see “Babe’s” smile, it cheers you up right away. We sin- cerely hope that he will keep right on smiling and cheer- ing others as he has cheered us. He is undecided about next year, but we all wish him the best success in what- ever work he takes up. PRISCILLA SMITH General “There’s nothing half so sweet in life as Love’s young dream.” —Moore Garnet and White Staff IV; Captain Girls’ Baseball Team IV; Glee Club IV. “Pris” has been with us only this last year, but her pep and energy have landed her “right on top.” Every- one knows “Pris, and we’ll all miss her next year; for she’s as jolly and as nice as she can be. She doesn’t know exactly what she will do next year, but we feel sure it will be something interesting, and we wish her the best of success. ERNEST M. STELLWAGON General “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” —Chesterfield Boys’ Glee Club I. “Stelly” is one of our quiet, steady workers who al- ways tend to their own affairs and are square with every- one.

He is undecided as to what to do next year. GERTRUDE NAOMI TAYLOR Classical “Swift as an arrow from the Tartar’s bow.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV. During the four years of “Gertie’s” High School career we have associated her with a yellow brake-cart and a fat brown borse, and usually the brake-cart is full of happy people. “Gertie” is liked by all who know her because—well, just because she’s “Gertie.” Here’s luck to you, “Gertie,” and may all success be yours at George School!

ARTHUR THOMPSON Thoughtful, yet of ready wit and readier laugh.”—Hood D. Webster Meredith Price Speaking Contest IV.

He hasn’t decided about next year, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. 28 THE GARNET AND WHITE RUTH TOWNSEND General I have a heart with room for every joy.”—Bailey Class Secretary I; Assistant Class Treasurer II, IV; Captain Indian Division IV. It would fill a page to mention all the eommittees “Rastus” has been on. She is one of those aggressive people that just will have a hand in every thing going; and who could be more competent or more desired than she is. Ruth, the laughing, vivacious “Rastus,” has sobered, somewhat, this past year, and we wonder if it is because the responsibility of being a senior lies heavy on her shoulders? But not the most serious cares of the most, trying )froblems can quiet “Rastus' ” ready laugh and winsome ways, and we hope her future will be as bright as the present is now and that Temple University will be good to our little “Rastus” next year. LEE TAYSON General “A sober lad, but true as steel.”—Hayes Hall Monitor IV; Fire Drill Monitor IV. I.ee's dignity has been one of the greatest assets of the Senior Class, for it has helped to lend an air of stabil- ity to the Class. Lee comes from the country, but he has kept up well in his lessons. We regret that he has not joined more freely in our social activities. He expects to take an office position, and we wish him success. CARMEN MILEY VAN LEER General “A joke—he hid it far below.”—Billet C armen is a quiet fellow who has been with us for only the past two years. Not many of us have really got to the bottom of his nature, but—well, those that have surely have been lucky! He’s deep, he is,” says our president, “and lots of fun.” That really describes Car- men, and we must put lots of emphasis on the last—“lots of fun. Carmen is undecided about his future, but we send him off with our best wishes for “health, wealth, and happiness.” F. HUBER WALTZ Scientific “Consideration like an angel came And whipped the offending Adam out of him.” Glee Club IV; Chess Club IV; French Club IV; Science Club IV. If there is a synonym for honest effort, it is “Tom Mix,” enrolled in West Chester H. S. as F. Huber Waltz from Grove. For four years he has proved him- self a scholar of no mean ability, and this last year we have heard him sing in the Glee Club. Dependability is his watch word in all things. In Honesty and Faithful- ness he is our Rock of Gibraltar, and the best of us could do no better than to emulate his determination. “Waltz- ie’s” natural inclination lies towards Mathematics and French, and it is in these two subjects that he will major in Swarthmore College preparatory to teaching. .v run garnet and white 29 HELEN WINANS Secretarial Smiling her way into our hearts, she went.”—Tennyson Certificate in Typewriting III; Medal in Typewriting IV; Bar in Typewriting IV.

RALPH WOODWARD Commercial “Oh may Dame Fortune open wide her doors That you may pass within.”—Longfellow Medal for Typewriting IV.

JOHN ELWOOD YOUNG Scientific “A science of his fife he’s made.”—Butler Member Radio Club II; Member Science Club III; Chairman Decorating Committee IV. “Jack” is a radio “bug,” and on that subject he talks more often and more intelligently than on anything else. He really is a “wonder ” You should sec his “outfit” and hear him expound on its mysteries. As yet he is undecided as to whether to go to college or to take a position as a ship radio operator. We are sure he would be successful in either. Good luck, “Jack!” ANNA ARMSTRONG General Of quiet character, yet strong.”—Shakespeare Anna is of the quiet type of girl and she has enjoyed all her pleasures and her lessons in a tranquil way. N evertheless, she hasn’t been too reserved to make friends, for she has a host of them. Anna expects to con- tinue her studies next year, but as yet is undecided as to where it will be.

MABEL COLLIER Commercial The gayest hours trip lightly by.”—Shelly Mabel came to us from the Berwyn High School in her Junior year.

EDWARDS Commercial “Earnestness and foolishness are mingled here.” —Horner “Dolly,” as she is better known to us, is jolly anti ftdl of fun. but she is also serious-minded and earnest when occasion requires, for she has taken a complete commercial course in the High School and has won a certificate and a medal, in typewriting.

Here's wishing you luck, “Betty!” KATHRYN GRAUL Commercial “Sunbeams play about like smiles.”—Shakespeare One who will always be a credit to ’23. what- ever she may do!

HELENA V. LEWIS General “She moved us all—and held our feelings taut.” —Pierce Who remembers that great day in chapel tv lien the words “Louder! Louder! LOUDER!” were uttered from the platform? We all do, for it was Helena Lewis who spoke them while dramatically reciting Poe’s “Telltale Heart.” Helena wishes to take a course at W. C. S. N. and later a course in elocution. She surely should succeed in this work, for if there is anyone who has possibilities along the line of elocution, it is Helena. CHARLES LOWERY Commercial “A small niche in the world, well filled.”—Howe “Reds” is a hard worker, both at home and at school, and he deserves success. Although he is always busy, he never fails to have a pleasant word and a smile for his friends, who will always remember him.

Madge may be small and unassuming and we may sometimes suspect her of being shy, hut she has won honors for both herself and W. C. H.

She intends to go to Normal School. burford McCarthy Industrial Scientific “To God, his high school, and his friend is true.” —Adapted Soccer Team; Hi-Y Club IV. Everybody will remember “Bur’s” joyful, joking disposition. He is surely one of the vertebrae of W. C. H. S. and one of the staunchest backers. “Bur” will go to Williamson Trade next year. We wish him all success and congratulate William- son. GEORGE D. MERCER Industrial Scientific Success will come to those who invite her.” —Anon. Assistant Baseball Manager III; Monitor IV.

PALMATEER General “I dare not be as funny as I can.”—Hoopes Albert is noted for the length of his limbs and for the funny grin that often times appears on his face, added to a laugh which assumes gigantic proportions. Albert seems to like to go to Chat- wood a great deal. We wonder what can he the attraction! He expects to work next year. ETHEL M.

Ethel will go to Normal—if Cupid doesn’t change her plans. CORBIN ROBERT TWISDALE Commercial “A gentleman of virtue and accomplishment.” —Byron Baseball IV; Football III, IV. “Bushwaeker” is a Malvernite. He has been with us only two years, hut during that time he has made many friends.

MARIS P. WESLEY Commercial “Taste the joy that comes with music.” —Longfellow Orchestra II, III, IV; Band III, IV; Track IV. “Longfellow,” as his friends know him, has been a valuable member of the High School Orchestra for three years. Everyone can easily tell when Maris is in the orchestra; ask I.elioy Brooks. He was also a member of our hand for two years. During his last year of High School Maris loyally went out for track. He will take a course at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, where we wish him success.

Forest, anciently called “Wellwater,” is the big hoy of our class. If he grows much more, he will begin to look tall. Forest, we are afraid West Chester will miss your deep bass voice next year. He is undecided as to what he is going to do, but we are sure he will account for himself well. THE GARNET AND 111 DTE 32 I.

Then sing to the School, the dear old School, Which has been our pride so long; And still may it flourish and never perish When a hundred years are gone. —Katharine Knox, 1923. alutcitnru (Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1923, June 14, 1923 ) We, the Class of 1923, welcome you, members of the School Board and of the Faculty, our friends, and parents, who have come to share with us these commencement exercises which symbolize the great honor of our first real accomplishment. Through- out our High School career we have looked forward to this night with great anticipa- tion. We sincerely hope that you will he well rewarded for your interest and for the help and the encouragement you have given us which have made it possible to achieve what we have. hen we were Freshmen, we felt that four years would be, indeed, a long time to spend in High School and that the goal would never he reached, hut we have changed our minds. Those years have slipped by all too quickly, and we feel that we still have many things to learn and that there lies before us a great world in which we must win our success. “One thing is forever good; That one thing is success.” Many dear friendships have been formed which will not he forgotten, and each one THE GARNET AND WHITE 33 of us will take with him these words of Shakespeare: “I count myself in nothing else so happy, As in a soul rememb’ring my good friends.” We can scarcely realize that the time has come when we, as classmates, shall leave our Alma Mater, each to take up a differ- ent path into this great maze of life and that we shall not meet again in one body as we have tonight. Some of us will go at once into a great field of endeavor, that of business, while others will go on into the realms of higher education. But no matter which choice we make there will be many opportunities for each one of us to make his life a prosperous one ,if he puts forth his best efforts. All our High School days have not been filled with study. We have had many good times together in our school activities, and many of our own class have played a vital part in making them enjoyable and suc- cessful. We may well say that our class has been a faithful one in winning honors for the school. At such a time as this it will not be out of place to say a few words on the subject of education. No person to-day can make any progress without acquiring first an education. It brings him into a world of freedom, pleasure and knowledge. Greater stress is being laid every day upon the value of instruction, and we find that the leading countries of the world are profiting by it and depending upon it more and more to solve their problems. When the proper kind of an education is tSiiatnnj nf the No one who saw the Class of forlorn- looking Freshmen enter the West Chester High School in the fall of 1919 could have imagined, unless he were a real genius along that line, that it would ever become the kind of class into which it developed. That little “imp of a kid,” whom we called “K. Knox,” has quite “grown up” in many ways. Tom Alexander, the dwarf of the class, has attained almost the height of his classmate, Forest Whedon, otherwise known as “Well-water.” A few of the little given and received, people’s minds are awakened to the realization of just what they are fitted for. Enjoyment is obtained through lectures, music, drama, nature and art, and noble thoughts and high ideals are formed. “Be noble! and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, hut never dead. Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.” We may find unending pleasures in edu- cation, and everyone, if possible, should be given an opportunity to continue his school work until he has reached a pleace where he can really appreciate its possibilities. Many great men have looked back upon their school life and have well valued what they learned. Our learning should not stop when we leave school; but, if we have made a good beginning, we shall continue it throughout life. , Education affords us a splendid oppor- tunity to have and to realize higher aims in life, and the gifts which have been be- stowed upon us we should cherich, appre- ciate, and use to the best advantage. We have worked faithfully for four years. Our teachers have been exceedingly patient and kind in helping us to the great- est extent possible, and we appreciate their unceasing efforts. We assure j’ou all that the happy memories of our Tligh School days will not be forgotten and that we shall grasp some of the great opportunities which this day and age present and use them for the fame and the honor of the West Chester High School. —Anna R. Meloney, 1923. GHaaa nf 1023 girls of our class who were always getting into mischief, such as Betty Kerr, Anna Cope, Gertrude Taylor and Amy Halde- man, have grown into the most dignified Seniors one can imagine. Just the other day someone who was looking at a picture of Ruth Townsend when she was a F'reshman asked who it was. So you see Rastus,” also, has changed greatly. “Slip” Chalfant, ’’Heck” Martin, Herman Hoopes and the rest of our athletic men, small as they were, have developed into wonderful material SOME SENIOR “SNAPS” 1. ‘‘Bows” and “ Piccadillies’ ’ 2. “Aren't They Becoming?” 4. “Can ou Do I his? ’ 5.

By looking at him four years ago no one could ever have realized that Kay Humphrey would bring so many laurels to his class. Thus you may gather what miracles four years in W. C. H. S. have wrought on the people of our class. Think what may happen to all of us in four more years! If we progress in the future as much as we have progressed in High School, we surely ought to he a help to our country and to the world in general. Although the Class of ’23 was thought by everyone to be the most stupid and the dullest class ever in existence, the bud which was developed slowly through the first three years has burst at last into a full and beautiful bloom, of which we are all proud. Our athletic prowess has been the finest the school has seen for a long time, and we have also done very well in the other contests of the school, such as hold- ing prominent places on the spelling team and the debating team and in oratorical and essay contests. We have done more than that; we have introduced a modified form of a system which the school has long desired and needed, the system of student government, which we hope will soon grow into the real thing; for, if it does, we shall be very proud to be able to say that we left a worth-while gift to the school. We have met together every day for four school years, and now we are never to meet in such a way again, unless, as I sincerely hope will come to pass, we decide to have class reunions, which would help to keep the spirit of the class together and to enable each member to keep in touch with the other members. Here’s hoping that, no matter what actually happens, we shall al- ways remember the “good old High School days” and the friends we made there. Evelyn Lapp, 1923. What ijjapprnrh in tljp $rar 1923 Last year I traveled around the world getting data for a book which I shall pub- lish in the near future. Going across Wy- oming the train stopped for water at a little town. I went out on the observation car. and whom should I see but “K“ Knox calmly seated on a bronco buster compos- ing poems. We had a gay talk, and at my surprised exclamations at her cowboy appearance she explained that she was a large rancher and that she had charge of many herds of cows. “K“ told me that Pris. Smith had just been appointed head jazz dancer at the Sultan’s Court in Tur- key. It’s true, because I saw her; and she does her act very well. You never can tell, for, when 1 stopped at Hollywood, I saw Ruth Townsend and Evelyn Lapp making pictures for the silver screen. Evelyn excels as a vamp and Ruth brought tears to my eyes when she acted the sad parts. ’23 surely is noted for its celebrities. Another one may be found in Burbank’s gardens. Huber Waltz is a re- nowned specialist of plants there and he has created the Hubernia Waltzima Rose. 1 went to the Hawaiian Islands, and on the boat I met Anna Meloney, who was taking her vacation after a most successful concert tour in Europe and America. Her voice is famed, but she is the same old “Beebee. She told me that Harriet Haines is the wife of a Florida Senator, and that she has three children just as pretty and at- tractive as herself. There was a man on the boat whom I thought I really ought to know, and then 1 recognized him. Tom Alexander had grown quite stout and bald in his service as a government inspector of ships, but he was just as jolly and nice as ever. On the same vessel was Jack Young, who oj erated the radio department. I visited a school for natives in the Ha- waiian Islands run by Thora Davis and Edythe Donahue as co-principals. We talked over good times at W. C. High and especially our 9th period Virgil class. They showed me an interesting letter from Mar- ian Ingram who is a famed lecturer and en- tertainer. In Japan I had a delightful time and made a short trip to a very fine mission school which I found was run by Yearld 1923’s “Sacred Monkeys” 2. “Baby Day” 3 “The Three Queens” 4.

His school has done much to help the little Japanese. At Bombay, India, I stayed a few days with Aimee Battin, who is the wife of an American consul. She certainly did enter- tain me well, but we talked most of the time of our old friends and classmates of the live, peppy class of 23. The world is small after all, for I saw “Ash” Thompson in a queer Persian city. He buys and sells Persian rugs for his firm in America and does a thriving business. Egypt claims “Torchy” Brinton as a dis- tributor of and dealer in Fords in that part of the world. He has great luck at his job. I read in a newspaper at that time of the fine work of Anna Cope, who has charge of a large Armenian orphanage. Her siaile still makes people succumb to her will. Betty Kerr is to help her during the next year. Marg. Ivins and her husband run a large antique and curio shop in Naples, Italy; and John John has an enormous olive or- chard in a nearby town. I hear they use his olives at all the Senior banquets of High School now. I was still afraid to go to Russia because of the last Red War. Kay Humphrey, though, is a keen worker for the preserv- ing of Russian civilization, and I hear that he has mastered seven Russian dialects. Eugene Martin has placed W. C. High on the map because he is an instructor of winter sports in one of Switzerland’s re- sorts. I had a thrilling ride down a tobog- gan slide under his tutelage and arrived safely at the bottom. “Chiz” Brooks was also there showing people how to play win- ter football and basketball on the mountain- sides. I went to the Opera in Berlin on the Hardingstrasse, where that city claims as one of its singers Dorothy Gillingham, whose lovely voice charms everyone. I really love France, however, and Esther Reagan seems to, too. for she is a renowned portrait artist living in the Latin Quarter of Paris. London is an enormous place, but I heard immediately of the typewriting and steno- graphy school of Maud and Mabel Little- field. They came there to show how well tlie W. C. High typewriting system works in a foreign city. Blanche Malin is also in London teaching music to little Englan- ders who desire a good American teacher in that art. At last the call came for Madge MacLen- nan to go to her beloved Scotland, and she could not resist. We had a wonderful time together on the wild and bleak moors. Finally I arrived in New York and went to see “Dib” Hoopes, or should I say “Am- abelle Wainwright, acting in the hit of Broadway. Well, she was simply splendid, and I surely did feel proud of her. In Keith’s vaudeville I saw Jimmy Gardiner tinkling out tunes on his banjo and that well loved feature of “Mutt and Jeff” acted by Forest Whedon and Charlie Bachman. While in New York, I visited my sister who is an M.I). in a large hospital, and, as I was waiting to see her, I read in “The Times ’ that Mary Harrar, A.M., Ph.D., L.L.D., had just received another honor- ary degree from Columbia University. Amy Haldeman had just been nomin- ated for woman governor of Pa., when 1 reached home, and I nearly went wild with joy. Such distinction! The U. of P. held its big football game on the afternoon of my arrival home, and I stopped over and saw it. I was thrilled to hear that the winning team was coached by our own stars, Harold Chalfant and Herman Hoopes; someone told me that they had been asked to be coaches at the Olym- pics next year. I hope it’s true. The game was exciting, and I couldn’t resist cheering in the good, old-fashioned W. C. H. S. way. Of course, I could not hear of or see everyone, but 1 know that the members of our class of '23 are all filling important places in life and that they will never forget each other or be forgotten. —Sarah D. Pratt, 1923 THE GARNET AND WHITE 39 (Hlafifi Hill nf 1U23 The Class of 1923, being about to die the death of graduation, must by that neces- sity dispose of all accumulated privileges, properties and worthy characteristics to those who may best benefit by them. Our four short years of life here have been pleasantly spent among classes, some of whom have preceded us to that death, graduation, and some who will follow us there. It is with somber mien and faltering step that we approach this great crisis of our school career. But, knowing that we leave behind us students with hearts loyal to the school and bodies ever willing to do sacri- fice for her, we face this death with more equanimity. The Class of 1923, possessing all the saneness possible to its frivolous charac- ter, herewith creates and publishes its will, showing no favoritism to any one by will- ing as many as possible of its properties to everyone. To the Class of 1924 we give and be- queath our athletic prowess, hoping that they will make a good showing next year. We give and bequeath to the Class of 1924 that coveted honor, the right to use the Senior steps. We hope that they will enjoy many a noon hour on these steps. We hereby leave the privilege to the Class of 1924 of giving their Senior talks in Chapel, this having been their earnest desire ever since they entered the High School. To the school as a whole we give and be- queath the power of Student Government, hoping that it will prosper greatly under your care during the coming year. We give and bequeath to the Class of 1924 the right to occupy the Senior seats in Assembly. To members of the Class of 1924 we also give and bequeath the honor and privilege of observing Senior Hay, otherwise known as Baby Day. Knowing that the girls still enjoy childish pleasures and that the boys are ever anxious to wear their Piccadilly collars, we hope that they will enjoy the day as much as did the Class of 1923. We give and bequeath to the Class of 1924 the honor of holding high position on The Garnet and White staff. We wish for the best results in the future. We give and bequeath to the Senior Class of 1924 the right to go down first to the lunch room. As the last and most important gift ol the Class of 1923 we give and bequeath to the school as a whole a Trophy Case, hop- ing that it will be of value to the school and that it will help to beautify the building. In addition to these major gifts and hon- ors bestowed by the Class of 1923 as a whole, a number of students of the Class desire to make personal bequests as fol- lows : Item I.—I, Kay Humphrey, do hereby bequeath my oratorical ability to Tom Gawthrop. May he make the best of it. Item II.—I, Blanche Malin, leave my musical ability to Sam Barber. Item III.—I, Kathryn Knox, bequeath my ability to get out of trouble, my repu- tation for “being in Dutch” most of the time, to Isabel Mercer, with the condition that she faithfully follow in my footsteps. Item IV.— I, Marian Pratt, bequeath to Dorothy Conrad my habit of being on the Honor Roll every month and of receiving on my report nothing less than B plus. Item V.—I, Marjorie Ivins, bequeath my pep and vivaciousness to Edna Wells, and hope that she will do her best to live up to my reputation. Item VI.—I, Mary Harrar, do hereby bequeath my soft voice and inability to be heard to Ruth Kcrwin, but with the stipu- lation that she must not thereby incur Miss Swadener's anger. Item VII.—I, Ruth Townsend, bequeath my habit of falling in love to Lab Cox. Item VIII.—I, Harold Chalfant, do be- queath my football fame to Paul Tigue on condition that he pursue the sport as a life work. Item IX.—I, Herman Hoopes, do be- queath hereby my “way with the ladies” to Roland Smith with the admonition that he 40 THE GARNET AND WHITE faithfully perform the duties pertaining thereto. Item X.—I, Esther Reagan, do hereby and forever bequeath my love for drawing to Beatrice O’Harra on the condition that she use her talent to good advantage. Item XI.—I, Janet Kift, do hereby de- clare, will and bequeath my great height to Anna Gooding. Item XII.—I, William Jones, do hereby bequeath my ability to beat the drum and to make a noise at any convenient time to Francis Mood. Item XIII.—Bruce Leslie desires that some member of the Junior Class shall ac- quire his studious attitude. Anyone who wants it may have it. Item XIV.—Betty Kerr does hereby will her carefree and “happy-go-lucky” dispo- sition to Helen Burdette. Item XV7.—I, Gertrude Taylor, do be- queath my success as a monitor to Sylvia W indie. Item XVI.—I, Thora Davis, do bequeath my habit of regular attendance at school to Anne Carey, with the codicil that she never misuse the inheritance. Item XVII.—I, Edythe Donahue, do hereby bequeath my well-known giggle, which has cheered many a class, to I.aura Woodward with the advice that she let it not he marred by worldly cares. Item XVIII.—I, Dorothy Gillingham, do bequeath my peaches and cream complex- ion to Anna Walter with the stipulation that she does not adopt cosmetics. We, the Class of 1923, draw this, our last will and testament, on June 14th, in the year of our Lord, 1923, and under our hand and seal. Class of 1923. Eugene Martin, President. (Hlaaa Punit i.

Hoopes, 1923. THE GARNET AND WHITE 41 Halrbtrtorij (Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1923, June 14, 1923 ) Valedictory—what does it mean? Let us detine it. It lias been derived from the Latin words vale and dictum, meaning “to say a farewell,'” although formerly fare- well meant “fare thou well.” Kind friends, it has devolved upon me to give expression to the grateful thoughts of this Class of 1923 and to give the “fare-thee-well” to all. I do so with the keen appreciation that “The end has come as come it must To all things; in these sweet June days The teacher and the scholar trust Their parting feet to separate ways. “They part; hut in the years to lie Shall pleasant memories cling to each As shells bear inland from the sea The murmur of the rhythmic beach.” We have nothing but thoughts of grati- tude and admiration for those founders of the school who conceived the idea of build- ing the edifice which made it possible for a class, such as you see before you, to com- plete those courses of study which will best fit them for the bat'.le of life. And to the School Hoard, who work un- ceasingly along all lines for the best inter- ests of the school, always striving to raise the standard of our High School, we give our most sincere thanks. Members of the faculty, we go forth with the profoundest esteem for the wisdom, the forbearance and the uniform justice and kindness that you have ever manifested to- ward us. We have often been hasty, heed- less of your feelings and our own best in- terests, and we have at times caused you great annoyance by our childish follies, but at all these times you have proved your- selves our true friends and counselors, and in our hearts we have cherished no malice toward you. If in any way we have of- fended, we ask your forgiveness and carry away with us a heartfelt gratitude for all the many favors we have received at your hands. And last, but not least, our thoughts turn to our parents whose years of sacrifice make it possible for us to be here tonight. Hut all their care and worry are forgotten, we are sure, in the pride and the Joy which come to them in our success. May each so live that we may bring honor and blessing to our parents who have stood by us so nobly in the past. Fellow students, we have been compan- ions for four years—to some of us four years of diligent application to our studies, to all of us four years of light and shade, four years of social fellowship. We go hence, as we are, to the battle of life. What success we shall have, what defeats we shall suffer, what victories we shall win, the fu- ture alone can tell. Hut we go forth with strong hope, with abiding faith that all will be well with us, if we perform our du’ies faithfully, and with the remembrance that “True worth is in being, not seeming. In doing each day that goes by Some little good—not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by.” The hour of parting draws nigh. Our class days together are over, but let us hope to return each year to our Alma Mater to revive our pleasant memories and our happy associations; so, classmates— “Fare thee well! and, if forever. Still forever, fare thee well” —Mary C. Harrar, 1923. 1. An Exciting Moment 2. The Old Reliables 3. In Action 4. Coach Adam 5.

GIRLS’ SPORTS Sports have been of great aid and fun to the girls who have participated in them during the past year. Our basketball team has done extremely well and has progressed under the tutelage of Miss Cary, our coach. We hope the team next year will be just as peppy. Baseball has been introduced just this spring, but we know it will be organized as one of the girls’ sports in High School in the following year. Hockey, too, will be a fine game for the fall months, as it was dur- ing the autumn of ’22. We also anticipate a girls’ tennis team for the future. Track has also occupied an outstanding place in girls’ sports, and records in jump- ing have been broken. Keen rivalry has been shown among the different divisions in races and other events. Athletics will always play an important part in High School, and we know that while there are so many good, peppy recruits the interest in girls’ sports will never diminish. —Sarah D. Pratt. ’23.

JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Do you remember: When “Syl” Windle had long hair? Whenever you saw “Scotty,” you knew “Sherry” was around? When Farley was in “shorts?” When Cupid’s arrow hit Jack and Eddie ? When “Gertie,” “Dot” and “Syl” were inseparable? When “Liz” was “that sw’eet, young country girl?” When Tom first told his story? When Ralph started a forestry reserve on his upper lip? When “Sliff” and G Wynne ran races to see who could grow the longest hair? When “Hunky” began to argue? When we went to see “The Merchant of Venice” and everyone got lost? When we stood up in chapel as long as the music played? THE GARNET AND WHITE 49 When we, as Freshmen, were responsible for a whole edition of The Garnet and Wh ite? When “Airdale” began to bark “Sylli- ness” ? When we acquired all the brains, respon- sibility, sensibility, stability and general good behavior that we have now and didn't have when we were Freshies? ENCOURAGING? (A word of advice from a Senior.) If you can study Burke and like him, too, When all the rest rebell— If you can pass a test o’er him With a mark you’d like to tell— If you can make Miss Swadener smile And say you’ve got some brains— If you can take Burke’s speech like this And never mind the pains, Why then—I surely think you are a man Whom all the world should hail— But me, why I’m content to be just me, For under Burke I fail. I WONDER WILL Mary Cope with the world? Jim Fry his eggs on a Sterno Stove? Everett Comfort Helen with a banana split? Ada Weaver next party dress soon? Anna Baker cake for the picnic?

Sophomore Notes History of the Class of ’25 The Class of Twenty-five has a great long history. It really would almost fill a book. I am not going to say the size of the book that it would fill, but it would be a book. We are young, but oh, so bright! When we were Freshmen, we voted for everything that the upper classmen did. We even had a president, Augustus Taney. He served a good term, but the only trouble with “Gus” was that he left. And we even had a secretary, Edna Hall. “Eddie” was always “on the job” and never got twisted; and then, I almost forgot, we had a treasurer, William Lear. Billy kept his accounts straight, and we had quite a sum of money in our treasury. Mr. Hen- derson and Miss MacElree were our advis- ors, and they were good advisors, too. They were wise people, and that is how some of our people got so much wisdom. When Christmas time came, our class had the most Christmas seals sold. Everybody always depended on the Freshmen. When our great friend, Miss Jackson, called for Home and School League members, tfite Freshmen, with the aid of our attendance room teachers, were the leading ones. Then came our great speaking contest, known as the “Joseph S. Evans Speaking Contest,” and Ann Barclay, of the Class of Twenty- five, was given Honorable Mention. Our boys had a contest, too, and Billy Lear got Honorable Mention. Now we are Sophomores, and loyal ones at that! George Downing is our president. Little Joe Lloopes happens to be our treas- 1. D.

Now Joe may be little, but be knows how to take care of the money end of our class. This year’s work lias not been quite so good as that of last year, but we still have a good standing. The Girls’ Speaking Con- test was held, and Catherine Malin, our little Malvern friend, won the Honorable Mention. If Kay stays with us until 1925, I think she will win first prize. We were not so well represented in the Boys’ Speaking Contest, for the Sopho- mores and the Freshmen had only one per- son each to represei t them, while the Jun- iors had four and the Seniors had three. We were justly proud, however, of our one rep- resentative, Billy Lear. Members of the Sophomore Class gave a play in chapel and it was a great success. Our Garnet and White subscriptions came in so fast that our class editors didn't have time to write down all the receipts, and our class dues came in well, too. Now, if you don’t think we have done a great deal in two years, you will have to prove to us that you can do better. —Valeric Bicking, ’25. IT IS RUMORED THAT The Carey twins agreed for once that they should have a plate of ice cream. Walter Liggett got an “E” in French. “Joe” Hoopes has grown an inch in the past three years. Elizabeth Hayes has red hair. Billy I.ear passed in a Spanish test (????) Kay Malin saw “The Birth of a Nation” in Malvern.

Being hungry we try to digest square roots, triangles and rectangles. 10.43— We go home to eat, saying the things we had in geom. have given us indigestion, but the excuse doesn’t work, so our wandering takes us back to school. 11.44— Chapel, where we all try to sleep and look interested. 12.25—Biology. Here Miss Patterson amuses us by letting us play with a skeleton. 1.09—History. Miss Potts teaches us that George Washington discovered America in 1096. 1.53—French.

WANTED—BY THE FACULTY ’OF WEST CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL Some person or persons who will under- take the colossal task of compiling a book of rules for the above-named school. There are estimated to be no less than one thousand (1,000) of these rules in ex- istence (to date). It is necessary to have them catalogued and published in book form as a means of assisting students and faculty in the abolishment of happiness, freedom, and like vices from the school. Sealed estimates should be submitted to the faculty on or before June 22nd. —Adapted.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 53 A TEACHER’S DEFINITION OF A PUPIL A pupil is an ignorant, obstinate animal that delights in annoying one. It lives on candy and gum which it eats between the hours of nine and four. It requires the most skillful hand to insert a little knowledge Freshmen Well, only one more month in which we Freshmen must endure “Freshman privi- leges,” shudder at the sound of the word “green,” shrink even smaller than usual at the mention of “size,” and wait until the hunger of our worthy upper classmen is ap- peased before we get ottr lunch. When we first entered the sacred pre- cincts of the West Chester High School, little did we realize what experiences were to be ours! Oh! those first mornings in chapel; shall I ever forget them? Standing there, while the orchestra played a seem- ingly endless opening piece, enduring the condescending glances of the Sophomores, the amused looks of the Juniors, and the icy (shall I say it?) stare of the Seniors. However, this is not all, for the sensa- tions we experienced when we accidentally stumbled into a Senior physics class or a Junior English class are indescribable. It was very hard for us to learn to get from one class to the other in the specified time. When we heard the three-minute bell ring, chaos reigned in our wee brains, and in our haste we stumbled into some belated but carefree Senior; began to tremble violent- ly, mumbled a confused apology, and at last reached our class, only to be repri- manded by the teacher for our tardiness. Hut even the dignified(?) Seniors were Freshmen once upon a time; so don’t worry, Twenty-six. Just imagine yourselves next year sitting while the orchestra plays. See yourselves casting condescending stares at those bewildered Freshmen, as frighten- ed as you once were; chuckle to yourselves for you are beyond that now. You are Sophomores! —Nila Bates, ’26. into the so-called brain. While at work, it passes through two stages, sleep and rest- lessness.

School SPELLING MATCH The second spelling match between Coatesville and West Chester, which was held in the High School Auditorium on Friday, May 11, was of sufficient interest to keep the audience tense with excitement throughout the entire forty minutes during which the contest lasted. The words given were many of them difficult, and the mem- bers of both teams made a very creditable showing. When the last member of Coates- ville’s team went down, two of West Ches- ter's team were still standing: Marion Pratt, ’23, and Ann Carey, ’24. SENIOR HONORS Senior honors for the Class of 1923 are as follows: Valedictorian, Mary Harrar; salutatorian, Anna Meloney; Kay Humph- rey, John John, and Marian Pratt. The three pupils named last were chosen by the Faculty on the basis of scholarship and ser- vice to the school. These five members of the class will speak at the commencement exercises on June 14.

Congratulations! OUR DESERT ISLAND” LIST OF BOOKS When the Philadelphia Public Ledgei recently published the various lists of the ten books chosen by certain eminent men in America as being fit companions for a sojourn on a desert island, it was suggest- ed that we try the plan in the Senior and the Junior Classes in our High School. Be- cause of lack of space, it is impossible to publish the complete and tabulated results, but it will be of interest to note some of the outstanding features of the lists made by the pupils. Books chosen by practically everyone were: The Bible,” Shakespeare’s works, an Encyclopaedia, a Dictionary of Facts, and a Dictionary of the English Languge. A large majority of pupils wisely chose some book dealing with woodcraft or wood lore or nature study. Books on astronomy, botany, agriculture and elementary cbem- istry were also popular, especially among the boys. It was interesting to find that, whereas only a mere half dozen thought of either THE GARNET AND WHITE 57 the useful cook book or the valuable medi- cal book, many included such books as “Who’s Who,” an English grammar, the World’s Almanac, an atlas, quizzes in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, etc., a French dictionary, a Sears, Roebuck Co. catalogue, a book of shorthand, and a book on baseball. In the field of fiction there were men- tioned at least seventy-five authors and two hundred and fifty different books, ranging from Charles Dickens, John Mil- ton and Alexander Dumas to Zane Grey and Caroline Wells, and from Scott's “Kenilworth” and Hugo’s “Les Miser- ables” to Margaret Sidney’s “Five Little Peppers and How They Grew” and Elea- nor Porter’s “Pollyanna.” In many cases pictures shown recently in the movies seemed to influence the choices for example, “Orphans of the Storm,” “Lorna Docne,” and “Robin Hood;” while in others library catalogues or advertisements or heresay evidently fur- nished titles without the pupil’s really knowing anything about the books, as in- stanced by such suggestions as Hardy’s “Tess of the D’Urbervilles, ” Hergesheim- er’s “The Bright Shawl,” and Hamsun’s “Growth of the Soil.” ‘St. Elmo,” “Beautiful Joe,” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” continue to be popular, and we are glad to know there are some grown- up “children” who still delight in “Fairy Tales.” Only a very few were foresighted enough to include a song book and a book of jokes and humor, but almost everyone suggested some book of history or bi- ography and one of poetry. We are tempted to believe that some of the pupils put down the last books they had read without really thinking about the matter, and we are forced to conclude that a few had evidently never read so many as ten books outside of school; but we are satisfied with the results in general, and we feel sure that most of our boys and girls could be trusted to make a choice of books that would be of real service and enjoys ment to them were they unfortunate enough to be exiled to a desert island. STUDENT COUNCIL We are glad to announce the personnel of the new Student Council which has re- cently been inaugurated as a beginning to- ward student government? President of the Council, Jack Hunsick- er, '24; Secretary of the Council, Dorothae Conrad, ’24; Anna Meloney, 23; Kay Humphrey, ’23; GWynne Humphrey, ’24; John Kerr, '24; Anna Baker, ’24; Alice Fetters, ’24; Horace Darlington, '25; Helen John, ’25; Walter Mitchell, '26; Sarah Simpson, ’26. These pupils auto- matically became members of the Council as a result of having the highest number of points in the Honor Point System on May 1, 1923. THE PLAY FESTIVAL West Chester High School again won the “Daily Local News” Trophy at the Play Festival on May 12. This makes the eighth consecutive time that we have held the cup. Two cups have become ours permanently and they will soon be seen in our new Trophy Case. We hope to capture the third one for “our very own” next year. DO OUR GRADUATES CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION? Some time ago a resident of West Ches- ter made the following remark to our prin- cipal, Mr. Oldham: “It seems too bad that so few of the West Chester High School graduates continue their education in any way.” So foreign was this statement to the true condition of affairs that we deter- mined to correct if possible through the pages of Tin : Garnet and White such an erroneous impression, and to that end we have compiled the following brief sum- mary : In the Class of 1922 there were eighty graduates. Forty-two of these boys and girls, over half of the class, are this year attending some institution of higher learn- ing. The Class of 1923, which will be gradu- ated on June 14, enrolls one hundred and thirty pupils. Of this number fifty-nine have already signified their intention of “continuing their studies.” 58 THE GARNET AND WHITE Furthermore, it will be interesting to note that there are, so far as we know, no institutions of higher learning in our coun- try from which West Chester Higli School graduates are debarred because of lack of adequate preparation. Some of our pupils have successfully passed the College En- trance Board Examinations which will ad- mit them to any college or university in the country. We append a partial list of the institutions in which our graduates have been enrolled within the past five years: Columbia University, Yale University, Mount Holyoke College, Wellesley Col- lege, Goucher College, Colgate University, Lehigh University, Lafayette College, Bueknell University, Gettysburg College, Syracuse University, Cornell University, Swarthmore College, Haverford College, University of Pennsylvania, University of Iowa, Temple University, Wilson College, Dickinson College. EXCHANGE Anna Maloney, Editor Since this is the last number of The Garnet and White to be published this year and since we are graduating, we send you a parting message that we sincerely hope Arou will help those who expect to take up our work next year. It has been a pleas- ure to exchange with you, and we have ob- tained from you a number of excellent sug- gestions. We have enjoyed reading your papers and magazines, telling just what is being done in your schools. We wish you a pleasant vacation and the greatest success in the future, and we hope to hear next year that you are continuing your good work.

A sign in a restaurant: “Don’t make fun of our coffee; you may be old and feeble yourself, some day.” Preacher (to returned private): “Well, Sam, I see you’re back from the front.” Sam: “Is dat so, boss? I knew I was get- tin’ thin, but I didn’t know I was dat bad.” “And tile father of tile prodigal son fell on his neck and wept,” said the teacher. “Now, who can tell me why he wept?” McFeely: “I’ll bet that you’d weep, too, if you fell on your neck.” The teacher was trying to impress upon her pupils the importance of doing right at all times, and to bring out the answer “Bad habits.” She inquired: “What is it that we find so easy to get into and so hard to get out of?” There was silence for a moment and then one little fellow answered, “Bed.” “Tommy,” said the teacher, in a natural history class, “name a poisonous snake.” “The rithmetic snake. Miss Smith?” “The arithmetic! How on earth did you get that idea in your head? What do you mean?” asked the puzzled teacher. “Why, the adder,” exclaimed Tommy, triumphantly. “The book says it belongs to a much divided family and that it multi- plies very rapidly.” Prof, (after long-winded proof): “And now we find that X=0.” Sleepy Stude: “Gee!

I slipped and fell on it.” NOT WHAT HE ASKED “So you go to school, do you, Bobby?” asked the clergyman of the 10-year-old hopeful, of the Briggly household. “Yes, sir,” answered Bobby. “Let me hear you spell ‘bread.’ ” “B-r-e-d-e.” The dictionary spells it with an ‘a,’ Bobby.” “Yes, sir; but you didn’t ask me how the dictionary spells it. You asked me how I spell it.” Fresh: “Are teachers all bookworms?” Soph: “All but the geometry teachers and they’re angleworms.” DOWNRIGHT FRAUD “John, dear,” began the bride, tearfully; “breakfast is on the table,, but—but—isn’t it just too annoying—look at that bread!” “Why,” exclaimed the bridegroom in surprise, “it isn’t baked at all!” “I know it isn’t, dear; that’s just it. And I p-p-put lots and 1-1-lots of baking powder in it, too.” POOR PROMOTING In a Scotch school the teacher was ex- amining the class in history, and asked one of the boys, “How did Charles I die?” The boy paused a moment, and one of the other boys, by way of prompting him, put his hand to his collar to signify decapi- tation. The stupid scholar at once grasped, as he thought, his friend’s meaning, and exclaim- ed, to the astonishment and amusement of the class, “He died of cholera.” Compliments of Friends of the Garnet and White r S.

See Them Growing ! Choosing a Business By Arthur G. Zeller What business will you enter? Successful men are not “born,” they are “made.” Foresight, planning, training is what “makes” them. Naturally you wish to select a vo- cation in which you can render a real service, establish a permanent life- work for yourself, and make money. Most fellows, too, have an ambition eventually to own a business of their own. I have been instrumental in train- ing so many men, during the past twelve years, for practical business success, that 1 feel that I can offer some helpful suggestions to you. The automobile has become a per- manent part of our life. There are over 12 million in use to-day. New cars are being built at the rate of 250,000 or more per month. “Auto- mobile Row” is the center of activity in every city; the automobile stores are bright, clean, well-lighted, busy, profitable. The Automobile Dealer is an important business man and he can make a large income. Why not select this business now, and begin to think about how you will gain each step of promotion to it? To succeed as an automobile dealer, a man must have at least a High School education, a technical (me- chanical) training, and a business training. The untrained man does not succeed in this business, because it re- quires a very high-grade type of man. You have already begun your training in the school work which you have had. You can begin the mechani- cal training now, too, by putting in the summer at the Michigan State Automobile School, at Detroit. Lo- cated in the automobile center of the world, this school offers unparalleled advantages to the man who is going to make the automobile business his life work. This school is endorsed by the government and by the automo- bile industry. A knowledge of the automobile is also an asset in any other business which you might enter. It is an unsurpassed preparation for a university engineering course. It provides an easy and sure way for a student to earn his way through college. Detroit, as well as offering the op- portunity to learn this business, is a delightful city in which to spend the summer. Its proximity to the lakes and rivers furnishes a pleasant, cool climate, steamer trips, sailing, swim- ming, fishing, all the recreation which is usually found only at a summer re- sort. This school has a Welfare Depart- ment, which attends to securing rooms and good board for students, looks after their welfare in all ways and will report regularly to parents on their progress if desired. We invite you to visit the school, see our students at work, or write for the catalog explaining the courses. Special questions will be gladly ans- wered. You may address the Regis- trar, Michigan Slate Automobile School, Box 5806, 3729 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Michigan. v.
