Made up of members from both the student body and the faculty it served as a true connecting link between the two. This year the Council has been started well on its way. It has always tried to work for the very best interest of the school, and, as a result, has won the respect and the co-operation of the majority of the students. Effective work has been accomplished by the Council in dealing with school prob- lems. A thorough monitor system man- ages the corridor traffic; student lieutenants take charge of classes in the teachers’ ab- sence; the form of discipline in some cases of misbehavior has been suggested by the Council. Its efforts to secure better chapel order have been successful. Another very important step has been the institution of Interscholastic Confer- ences. This plan was started at the sugges- tion of Mr. Oldham and is designed to promote better relationship between the schools of the county. The two confer- ences already held were composed of stu- dent and faculty representatives from the most important county schools. Resolu- tions such as those for the furthering of fairer and more standard athletics were passed. School problems were discussed and valuable suggestions offered. We be- lieve that already there is beginning to exist among the schools a greater spirit of unity and interest. We are planning to continue these meetings next year, and they promise to be very successful. The Co-operative Council is in a posi- tion where it can, through lack of interest, weaken in the future and pass out of exis- tence, or it can, through earnest support, be gradually strengthened until it becomes the wonderful, ideal factor in school govern- ment for which we are hoping. You have seen what has already been accomplished through it and you can foresee what may be effected through an organization of this character. Surely it deserves a continuance and an increase of your loyal backing— surely to improve it is a worthy aim for which to work. May those of us who are leaving our Alma Mater this June feel that you who remain will still respect and up- hold the democratic agency which ’23 and '24 have tried to establish, and may be assured that it will continue permanently to live and grow and accomplish the most good for the greatest number! Before the staff resigns its work we wish to express our appreciation of the valuable assistance of all those who have helped to make the publication of the GARNET AND White possible. We are very grateful for the financial support which our advertisers have given us, and we trust that they have been more than repaid by an increase of business. We thank the subscribers to our magazine and those who have read and commented upon it. We are grateful to the students for the material which they have submitted and to the Faculty Advisors who have given us help in preparing our issues. The editor wishes to thank the staff for its co-operation and faithful work during the entire year. It has certainly put forth an earnest effort to make the magazine a success. We sincerely hope that our publications, especially this Commencement Number, will be worthy souvenirs of our High School days, and we wish the undergrad- uates all the success possible with the GAR- NET AND WHITE next year. We trust they will improve the work wherever we may have fallen short of the best.

IV. If you don’t know “Sherry.” you don’t know one of the best fellows in ’24! “Sherry.” “Smitty,” or “Rollie.” as he is variously called, does not confine his activities to any one line, as his list of accomplishments shows, and he does them all equally well. What would we have done without “Smitty” in football, the “fastest” man on the squad? We wish him the best of luck at Penn next year. Dorothy Biddison General “All wool, and a yard wide!” Vice President. IV: Basketball Varsity. IV; Hockey. Var- sity. IV; enior Advisor. IV: Dramatic Club. IV. “Dot” hails from the illustrious city of Frazer. We don’t know what our class did in the Freshman and Sophomore years for she came to us only last year. “Dot” succeeds in whatever she undertakes. Her first year out for basketball she replaced one of the old standbys, and the batter’s knees commence to wobble when “Dot” winds up in baseball. If you want a laugh just hang around “Dot”. In short, she’s just one of the best sports that ’24 can turn out. and we wish her as great success at Con- necticut Froebel Kindergarten Normal as she has enjoyed at W. C. H. S. Anna L. Fairlamb General “A nature such as thine will sure succeed.’’ Assistant Treasurer. Ill: Senior Advisor. IV: Senior Monitor. IV; Secretary of Class. IV. Here’s to “Anne.” our secretary, one of ’24 s general favor- ites. Ever see her riding in a “little Ford? I think most of us have! “Anne” has been with us all four years, and. although inclined to be reserved, she is liked by all. She intends to take up kindergarten work next year, and ’24 wishes their secretary the best of luck.

IV. “Farley.” the Malvernite. is one of the “biggest bugs” in the class: in fact, he measures six feet three or four inches. Like all those hailing from Malvern. “Farley” is vested with a habit of playing jokes on his friends—but do you remember when “Smitty” ripped his coat in the lunch line? “Vince” is a true sport, though, and a fine friend. We’re expecting great things from him next year, when he’s in Cornell. 4 THE GARNET AND WHITE (Class J nll Lewis Armstrong Commercial “On their own merits modest men are dumb. Lewis came to our school only this year. I hough we haven’t had the chance to know him well, he has helped to increase the dignity of our class in that time. He is undecided about his future. Alta J. Baily General “A smile for all, a greeting glad, An amiable, jolly way she had.' Basket Ball III. IV; Indian Division (Basket Ball) Team. IV; Study Hall Attendance Monitor. Ill; Science Club. Ill: Glee Club, II; Dramatic Club, IV. Alta expects to attend Normal next year. She is known among her friends as “Sock.” Her motto is: “Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.” That laugh of hers startles us sometimes when everything is quiet, but we like it. Edgar Donald Bailey Classical “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” Monitor, IV; French Club. Ill: Science Club, III: Dramatic Club, IV: Glee Club, IV. The school day wouldn’t be quite perfect without Donald and his witty sayings. He has a mania for pansies and he certainly can cultivate them; the girls know that. He has worked con- scieniously at his lessons and at managing the B4 traffic, too. Donald expects to go to Wharton later. James Williamson Baily General “An honest man is one of the few great works that can be seen for nothing. Track. II. III. IV: Science Club. II. Ill: Radio Club. IV; Soccer. III. IV: Dramatic Club. IV. “Jim” is another one of our sturdy, dependable “farmers.” He doesn't shine in speaking contests, but you can always count on him to perform his duties and to perform them cheerfully and well. He has worked hard on our track team and fought a lot of stiff competition, but he has always been game and Helped to keep up the spirit of the team. We know you’ll succeed at Normal School, Jim.

Don’t think she is fickle—she’s not! “Bake” is the most popular and loyal member of the Class of 1924. and she supports every stand it takes. “Bake’’ does not need to take a “horse shoe” to Goucher with her next year be- cause: “Fame. Love, and Fortune on her footsteps wait. Joseph Fraley Barclay General “Mix a little folly with your serious thoughts. Soccer, III. IV; Foot Ball, III. IV: Track. Ill, IV, D. W. Meredith Prize Speaking contest. III, IV; Vice-President Science Club, IV. “Joe’’ has been in High School only since the middle of his sophomore year, but even so his list of accomplishments is rather large. Joe isn't very tall, but the way he skirted the ends for the foot-ball team made you lose any idea that a short fellow isn’t to be reckoned with. We envy his friends, who will be with him when he takes a Post-graduate course next year! William Albert Bishop Industrial Scientific “Always ready to work and always ready to help. Member Soccer Team. IV. “Bish” is one of our quiet fellows who doesn’t say much that’s unnecessary, but he knows what to say when it is called for. He believes in sticking right at his work and not bothering others, and for this reason he has made many friends and no enemies. “Bish” expects to start work at his carpentry trade next year. We know you'll make a good one, “Bish,'' and we surely wish you luck. Dklmont Kirk Bittle General On their own merits modest men are dumb. Fire Monitor. III. IV: Vice-President Radio Club. IV; Base Ball Team. II. III. IV; Captain Base Ball Team. IV. “Del’’ believes in explaining himself by action, and he certain- ly does show lots of it when he’s on the mound twirling the old pill. “Del’’ is also one of our radio “bugs.” He has made many good friends among us. and we all wish him luck in whatever position he may take next year. Go to it. “Del.’’ We're with you. 6 THE GARNET AND WHITE Joseph H. Brinton General Conscientiousness is but one of his many virtues. Tennis Manager. IV: Soccer Team. III. Jodie” is one of the steady workers of our class whose pres- ence was little noted for noise, but we are sure he will be missed (not when the diplomas are handed out) by all those who are his friends. “Jodie” is undecided as to what he will do in the futu re. Royal P. Brinton Scientific “He gets his lessons without one sigh. Nothing too hard for him to try. Treasurer. II: Hall Monitor. IV: Class Monitor. IV: Foot- ball. 2d. II. Ill: Foot-ball. Varsity.

Reserve Football. II. Ill; Reserve Basketball. II. III. IV: Boy’s Glee club. IV: Fire Lieutenant. IV: Class Lieutenant. IV. You remember Bing's voice at the High School party? That’s the way he has been all through High School just going along in harmony and every now and then he would break out with something to say that was really worth while. “Bing” expects to take P. G. work next year. Best of luck. Bing. Mildred Brinton Commercial “Good nature and good sense must ever join. “Mill” is one of the nicest girls in the Commercial Depart- ment. She is always in a good humor. You will never find a more agreeable and conscientious girl, who possesses such an even disposition. She is a good worker, too. especially in typewriting, for she has won a certificate and medal, and she is going to be a clever “Somebody’s Stenog.” THE GARNET AND WHITE 7 Leotta Brubaker Household Arts Its good nature wins the heart.” Dramatics. IV: Health Crusade. I, II. Becky is one of those jolly country girls who enjoy a three- mile walk to school every day. She has gained many friends in High School by her smiles, and she has captured the appetites of the teachers by the wonderful cakes she can make. We wish her the best success with her Millinery work next Fall. Helen L. Burdette General A cheery smile and a merry laugh she offers to her friends.” Assistant Treasurer. I. II: Secretary of Class.

Burdie. as everyone knows her. is one of high school's most popular girls. Always cheerful and full of fun! Who could ever forget Burd” and her craziness, for she is always entertain- ing a group some where. Remember the day she gave her little Bear Story ? She has made many friends here, because you just can't help liking her. and I know we shall all miss her next year when she goes to Sweet Briar College. Va. We wonder how she will get along without Labby next year, for you never see one without the other. Helen Painter Burnett « General “A friend to nature and to all.” Basket Ball. I: Glee Club. II. III. Biff's not the desperate character her name leads one to be- lieve. but a jolly bobbed-haired kid with a smile for all the world. Her particular line is that of specializing on the lines of Milady's wardrobe.—and a clever little seamstress she is. too. She expects to further develop her talent by taking up dress- making next year. Good luck. Biff, may your scissors shape success to you. Anne Taylor Carey Classical Veni, iAdi; vici!” Valedictorian.

IV: Hockey. IV; Speaking Con- test. IV. All hail, our illustrious Annie ! Our valedictorian, and she deserves it: for in March Anne had a perfect report. In Latin Anne is a wizard, and she has taken the cup for three years in the spelling contest. However, she not only excels in the Academic branches; she’s our home-run hitter and basketball guard. Anne's love for cats is another feature of her personality. Don't forget '24. Anne, when you become a Ph. D. at Mount Holyoke. 8 THE GARNET AND WHITE Elsie Shadden Carr General “She is a maiden wondrous fair. With radiant locks of auburn hair.” Elsie has spent four years with us. and. although she is very quiet, she is a true friend to all who are fortunate enough to make her acquaintance. Elsie is sure to be found in the Library second period studying her English, but Arithmetic is her favorite sub- ject, and she is the shining star of the class. She is going to Normal next year. Dorothy A. Chambers “Capacity for every joy. Basement Monitor. Ill: Dramatic Club. IV. Dorothy is most familiarly known to her friends as. ‘ Dotts.” She is of the quiet type of girl in school, but as a ‘chum’’ she is full of fun and an all-round sport, endearing her to all of her acquaintances. Dotts” is undecided as to what she will do. We wish her good luck and happiness in her future. Isabel Crow Chase General “Lively and talkative Stored with the treasures of the tattling world And with a spice of wit, too.” Isabel has been with us only a year, but in spite of this fact, she has won loads of friends. She is ambitious, bright, attrac- tive. and overflowing with fun. Her favorite past-time is kid- ding:—especially the boys. After her graduation she will go into training in the Philadelphia Presbyterian Hospital. Success to you from West Chester. Isabel, as well as from Lansdowne. Catherine E. Clement General A peaceful citizen and liked by all.” Locker Room Monitor. IV: Glee Culb, IV. Kate” is one of those girls that you just can’t help liking, be- cause.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 9 Evf.rett Comeort General “Faint heart ne’er won fair lady.” Baseball, I: Member Radio Club. IV. “Ev,” as he is known to us but whose teachers call him Everett, according to statistics has been in love the last four years, more or less. Perhaps it is his ready smile and 'Marcel Wave that have won his way into the hearts of the fairer sex. especially a little blond-haired girl who hails from Malvern. No matter. Ev” is a good sport, and his popularity is not confined to either sex. Everett expects to attend the Philadelphia College of Pharm- acy. Lloyd Byron Conner General “Let us eat, drink, and be merry—for tomorrow— Science Club, III; Soccer Team, IV. “Conner” has been an important cog in the machinery of 24. He is a quiet fellow, but he always has his work done, and this is the thing which counts most in the world. Everyone knows Conner for his stride. Even the best walkers of the Class have trouble keeping up with him when he “ gets going.” , , . He expects to study electrical engineering, but is undecided about the college he is going to.

IV; Class Salutatoriam “Dot” Conrad has done more for the school than almost any other girl. She has been able to maintain an excellent scholastic standing, even though she did go out for athletics and other school activities a great deal. She’s a good sport and a dandy all round girl. Dot’s always lots of fun. and she is a leading factor in baby circles—gatherings on the Senior steps. Drop-the- handkerchief’ and “red lights’’ have always been favorite games of hers. Dot is going to Swarthmore College next year, and we know W. C. H. S.’24 will always be proud of her. Mary Cope General “To those who know her best a friend most true and hearty.” Mary is a member of the illustrious group from Cheyney. Don’t we all like to lease her? Seriously, though. Mary has been a constant supporter of '24. and we wish her lots of luck next year. 10 THE GARNET AND WHITE Adelaide D. Cox General Smiling her way into our hearts, she went.” Assistant Treasurer. IV. Don't we just love Tabby”? She’s one of our far-famed, much sought “Malvernites”; and how she likes to dance. “Lab” possesses lovely auburn hair that she detests, although everyone else likes it. and. if you ever hear anyone singing some popular air around school, you know it's “Labby.” She has al- ways been one of ’24’s loyal backers and we wish her the best of success. “Lab” is undecided about next year, but may take up kindergarten work. Lucky kids! Eva Croll Commercial Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you” Eva is our sweet li tie Scotch girl, and she’s just as bright as her pretty auburn, curly hair.

IV: Dramatic Club. IV: Spanish Club, IV: Monitor. IV: Honorable Mention Senior Essay. IV. Although it’s very seldom that “Dot” speaks, her twinkling eyes speak for her. When Dot does speak, however, it’s like her writing—wonderful. We in her English Class know that her keen humor, her entertaining style of writing and her winning ways spell a great writer’s future for our “Dot.” Good for- tune attend you. Dot is undecided about her plans for the coming year, but it is very probable that she will shine in some college in the near future. Lloyd H.

Ken also knows how to win track medals, and he manages to show us how at every track meet. He is undecided about a college career, but we know that whatever he does, he will make a success of it and will always be a credit to old W. C. H. S. and 24. Helen Frame Evans General “Earnestness and foolishness are mingled here. Assistant Treasurer, II; President Art Club. IV; Senior Advisor. IV.

Hennie” is one of our quiet girls that believes in making every minute count. That's not saying she doesn’t have a good time. We all know better than that!

When 'Tom’’ entered High School he had already established his reputation as the youngest one in his class, but he soon proved that he was one of '24’s most valuable members.

Tom. and we hope to see you at Yale the following year. Mary Olive Gilliland Commercial ‘'Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit.” Typewriting Certificate and Medal.

True, she hasn’t been in the limelight a great deal (perhaps she’s not been in trouble as often as the rest of us) but we’ve always felt her there—a part of the background, and what perfect picture is there without a back- ground.'' Midget's’’ blue eyes and yellow curls have earned her the inevitable name of “Kitten —but then everyone loves a kitten. We hope “Midget’’ will be blessed with lots and lots of success and happiness. 13 TIIE GARNET AND WHITE Leland Gilmore Commercial “With roguish look and merry laugh ’ Class President.

Webster Meredith Contest. I: Typewriting Medal and Bar, IV. Leland has made many a dark moment disappear with his smile and has cheered us upon all occasions. He had the school spirit and the ' pep” that have helped to make the class of 24 a good one. You may see by his activities that he took an interest in most of the school affairs and had a good following. We can be glad to have such a friend as Leland. He is undecided as to what he will do. but we wish him the best of life and can rest assured that he will have success. Benjamin Glick Commercial “Yet he seemed busier than he was ' Baseball Squad.

Anna May Gooding General It takes a great person to make a good listener. Dramatic Club. IV. Here's to “Anne.” our golden-haired lass, who hails from the large metropolis. Frazer. Few are they who can say they really “know Anne, but those who do can appreciate her dry humor and her loyalty as a friend. “Anne” is especially fond of Eng- lish. but her chief interest in school is Stenog” (?) Anne is undecided about next year, but we wish her the best of success. 11 THE GARNET AND WHITE 4 Elwood Francis Gregg Scientific “Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat. Therefore, let's be merry.

Leonore Baker Harvey Household Arts “Conscientiousness is but one of her many virtues. Leonore is the leading member of her course.

Charlie” has turned into the orator of the class all of a sudden, and like all the ”Westtownites.” he has proved to be of real value to the school.

After graduation he will take a position. Isabelle Canning Mercer General Begone, dull care! Thou and I shall never agree. Merc has been with us four years, always entertaining us with her experiences. Although Isabelle is forever joking, she also has a serious side which is more appealing to us.

Parents, Fac- ulty, School Board, and friends, be assured that you bring us real joy and inspiration by your attendance upon us tonight. We salute you! Every class in its procession through four years of training both reaps and sows. It gathers its precious treasures, some en- riching the mind, some refining the heart, others repleting the storehouse of fun and sweet recollections. All of you. to some extent, have contributed to these treasures and for this our hearts are grateful. In return each class weaves into the life of its school a personality, altogether differ- erent from any that have gone before or are to follow after. 1 924 comes now to the close of her first period of training when she takes her trea- sures and leaves her personality. It is neither my duty, nor becoming to class modesty to measure to you the depth of that personality—the test of Time will in- dicate that—but it is my pleasure to speak of those who have enriched our educational treasures, and to say a word of the edu- cational ideal which we should strive to attain. To our parents and faculty, who. in our hours of discouragement and weariness, refreshed and strengthened us: who, in our indifference and wilfullness. administered the corrective hand of discipline in such a patient but telling manner, that our pur- poses were set aright in the tasks before us: who, in our endeavor for knowledge nutured our young minds with food of the finest sort; to you we give an especial salute. 36 THE GARNET AND WHITE Top left—Senior Members of GARNET AND WHITE staff: top right—Senior Essay Honors: center—Winner of Swarthmore College Extemporaneous Speaking Contest Cup: lower left—Execu- tive Committee of General Association: lower right—Our Three Orators. run GARNET AND WHITE 37 Because of your own valuable experience through the tender years of high school life, you were the better aware of its importance.

Complimentary language will never re- pay you for the service you have rendered us, nor are you assured that your reward will come in the use we make of it. To- night. however, we are happy to let you know that the fulness of our hearts be- speaks an appreciation deep and sincere, and a hope that the futures we mold will bear a fitting image to our Alma Mater. To the School Board and citizens who have so faithfully and abundantly provided means by which we attained our training we owe a debt of gratitude. But for your support and co-operation, educational facil- ities would have been crude and difficult. You have given without stint, and yet with a degree of economy by which we have been taught how to receive the best with a sensible regard for the cost. We thank you and salute you. Mindful of all those who have touched our lives in the education of today does it not seem meet that I should say a word of the education of tomorrow: for we must ever strive higher and higher to make per- manent and lofty the education which will solve the problems of a threatened world— an attainment which may be summed up in the one word culture. “Culture has its origin in the love of perfection—it is a study of perfection. We ask ourselves the question, will mental (Class All good organizations have histories, and, since we believe that the class of ’24 is a good organization, we are presenting our history. Well, we started as Freshmen since that was the only logical place to start. There were no festivities, no blaring of trumpets, as we made our entrance into these halls of learning back in September, 1920. We were about as green as green could be. We made all kinds of “Freshy” mis- takes such as walking into Senior “Trig” and Latin classes with the dignified and tolerant gazes of the Seniors resting upon us. Most of the boys wore “shorts.” Can you imagine “Smitty,” Reese, and “Cliff” in such a regalia now. culture alone perfect? History answers “No.” Rome and Greece tried that and failed. While they were competing for mind culture with regard for nothing else, the processes of decay set in almost at the zenith of the effort. What, then, must we have to stand the test of the ages? Spiritual culture is the essential counterpart of mental culture. This calls for faith, faith in God, in our fellowman, and in ourselves, because “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In the hope that we may reach the things unseen we are moved to render service. In this purpose intellectual refinement can be used as a valuable tool and is only in this way mdae worth while. As the poet has said: “This is lhe compass flower, that the finger of Cod has planted Here in the houseless wild, to direct the traveler's journey. Over the sea-like, pathless, limitless waste of the desert. Such in the soul of man is faith. We of ’24 join now the ranks of our parents, teachers, benefactors, and friends —we, the new generation, become a part of that group whose duty it is to help the world on to higher living. In this obliga- tion may we always remember to let our minds and spirits grow together that we may truly aid and strengthen the present generation, and that our posterity may better realize and more fully benefit by the ideal education. Dorothae Newton Conrad. ’24 History The Freshman Hallowe’en Party (held in the afternoon) brings back some mem- ories. “Fats” Kerr was so bashful that he stood in the corner by himself and the punch bowl, while “Goofie” and Fred Margolf played the victrola so that “Syl” and “Ann” might dance together. We all remember the time that some upper classmen got in the chapel windows and changed our numerals on the crepe- paper banner so that they read 1492. It was quite a joke, but we have the satis- faction of knowing that ours is the only banner which could be changed so effect- ively. At last we received the card which said Promoted—Addison L. Jones,” and we were through with our Freshman year. No THE GARNET AND WHITE 38 longer that frightful stand in chapel! We took particular delight in seeing the new Freshmen standing up. When we came back for our Sophomore year, there had been a great change in the library. It had been enlarged by the an- nexation of Miss Fonda's room to the original library. We wonder if every Senior and every other student realizes what a great asset this larger library has been to our High School course? As Sophomores we chose our class colors, the good old blue and gold, and we received our pennants which now hold the place of honor in the auditorium. “Eddie” Wells came to the class that year, and soon after that the physical exams showed a great deal of heart trouble among the students. During the Sophomore year some of us went to see the “Merchant of Venice.” Many of us still knew little or noth- ing of the mysteries of B4, but weird and terrible stories reached our ears about Burke tests, Junior and Senior essays, Eng- lish Note Books, and Senior Speeches. We still had much to learn. Again came the card from Mr. Jones, and we were Juniors. The class had begun to show its ability by this time. Evans, Edwards. McCorkle, and a number of others were developing into track stars. Kerr, Smith, and Dave Ray knew what to do in a football game as well as in their school work. Brinton. Tigue, and McLear were basketball stars in embryo. We remember the speaking contest in which “Dot” Conrad won first place for '24; and later in the year Tom Gawthrop showed his ability by winning Honorable Mention in the Boys’ Contest. That year we took a trip to see “Julius Caesar” played at the Broad Street Theatre. “Burdie,” “Gertie” Paxson. “Ken” Edwards, Smitty,” “Dot” Huntsman, and, in fact, nearly everyone except Miss Swadener got stiff necks from looking at the skyscrapers and the electric signs. Despite this handicap, everyone enjoyed the play, but anyone who saw the bunch re- turning on the train would have been likely to think they had just seen a per- formance of “Romeo and Juliet” rather than the story of “Caesar and Brutus.” During the Junior year we got our rings, and we are all proud of them. It was reported that “Liz” McCue and “Kate” Clement fought for nearly fifteen minutes over the question as to which one was the shiniest. There was no decision rendered on the bout, but we think “Liz” won. Of course, we gave the Class of '23 a picnic. Quite a number of the boys showed extraordinary ability in making sand- wiches and also in eating them. “Jack” Kerr made the punch and there was everything in it from a banana to a horse shoe. “Dot” Biddison took the committee to Lenape in her car and nearly killed the whole congregation with her speeding. It is said that Miss Swadener was nearly petri- fied when she finally arrived at the park. At last, we arrived at our Senior year, and we have had a great time being the “big guns” of the school. So many things have happened this year that we hardly know where the time has gone. There have been football games, the Christmas celebration, basketball, the school parties. Senior Day, the Dramatic Club, Arbor Day. and a host of other important things such as becoming thoroughly familiar with “Eddie” Burke, writing essays, and pass- ing “Trig and French tests. The time has fairly flown by and almost before we have realized it. our High School days are over. “Charlie” Hayward, our orator and actor! Can anyone imagine that he is the same Charlie, who was our bashful presi- dent during the Freshman year? Gwynne Humphrey can now find his way around the corridors. When he ap- pears in a classroom, he really belongs there. “Jack” Kerr doesn’t look green now. He has grown considerably and he is now ’24's most formidable looking member. When he laughs, the windows rattle, and to see him with Royal reminds one of “David and Goliath.” Jack Hunsicker, who won for us the second place in the Swarthmore Contest is certainly not the same Jack who had a voice which used to range over five octaves in the course of a sentence: and, although he is no longer the head of the class treasury of gold, there is still a head of gold that he treasures! We beg your pardon, somebody got these words mud- dled up. Do you remember when “Syl” Windle wore a long braid down her back, and when “Liz” McCue drove a little hack- ney. instead of a “Chevey?” Do you recall the time when “Gertie” had no “Eddie,” when “Dot” Conrad THE GARNET AND WHITE 39 first spoke in chapel, when Anne Carey shocked the gym class, when Ruth Wil- liams was almost slim, and when Marion Walker didn't appreciate the class of ’25 so much:’ Do you know who are the original models for the “before and after using’’ pictures? They're two very illustrious members of our class who have been in- separable friends since early Freshman days. As dignity and age added to their stature, they put away childish things such as short trousers and gold rimmed “specs,” and assumed tortoise shell glasses and a Boston bag to fit the austere offices of Class President and Platform Monitor, respec- tively. These aforesaid gentlemen are, of course. “Sherry” and “Cliff.’’ Well, we must bring this tale to a close. We are nearing the time of departure from West Chester High, and, although we wish to leave because we have completed our courses, yet we hate to break away from all the associations and friendships of our high school lives. But we realize that this is but a step- ping stone in our lives, that ’24’s history of life is just beginning, and that we have only completed a few months of the great school of life. Our various individual interests will carry us far away from this town and its high school, and we shall have only the memories of past days to remind us of these halls. We are ready in every way for service in the world, and we can truthfully say that ’24’s history has just begun. Vincent Farley, ’24 1939 I descended from my airplane in West Chester, (Tiffany sent me out on business once again.) The hangar, you know, is run by Goodwin Thompson, And George Smith and “Goofie’’ Moore are right-hand men. Gazing up and down Gay Street I saw large signs. Bearing names at once familiar and yet new: “Anne Carey’s Beautie Shoppe,” “Farley’s New Theatre,” “Best Drugs—Goldberg and Tigue” were just a few. And then I saw a face that looked familiar. It was none other than “Burdie” Burdette! .The stern, efficient Mayoress of West Chester, And she answered all my questions when we met. “Cate” Clement?

Why, he and Stewart Dowlin Are in vaudeville—their act is called “Here’s How!” “Syl” Windle holds the National Golf Title: “Gertie” Paxson lives in Reno to save time: “Jack” Hunsicker has just been sent to Congress, “Eddie” seems to think the capitol is prime. Dot Conrad started out to save the heathen. But decided “Doc” Kerr needed saving more. And Sylvie Sabatino’s just succeeded In keeping “Scotty” from the prison door. Dot Biddison’s “Academy for Young Girls” Is doing well—so’s Eleanor Reilly’s book. And Bee O’Harrow’s painting all the covers On “Snappy Stories” and “The Blue Book.” Charles Hayward? Oh Judge Hayward is his name, now. He’ll be Supreme Judge Hayward, too, some day.

Jones has said the committee finds the days of the Class of 1924 in this school are numbered. We shall leave the world of this school on June 1 2, 1 924. We do not wish to depart thus, but we must bear with the inevitable. This class is not selfish and therefore feels that its various possessions should be bestowed upon worthy successors. Therefore, wc, the Class of 1924, of the West Chester High School, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament: To Wit: First: We bequeath to the Class of 1925 that supreme privilege, the use of the Senior steps, with the condition that they be used only with dignity and bearing worthy of Seniors. Playing Jacks” will be per- mitted. Second: We beqeuath to the Class of 1925 the honor of occupying the seats in the middle section of the Auditorium. They must not chew gum or indulge in conversation during chapel period, however. Third: We bequeath to this Class of 1925 the first place in the lunch line. We hope the Faculty and Biddle Street will not dis- turb you. Fourth: We bequeath to the Class of 1925 the honor of observing Senior Day. The pain from wearing piccadilly collars is nothing to worry about. 2 THE GARNET AND WHITE THE GARNET AND WHITE 43 ru in. We bequeath to the Class of 1925 the honor of having rooms Bl, BT B4, as the Senior Attendance Rooms. The bene- fits resulting from this will be shown by experience. About five miles of walking will be saved. This is one of the benefits. Sixth To the Class of 1925 we bequeath the high and dignified positions of monitors. Even your best girl or best beau must keep moving on or the supervisor gets jealous. Treat the supervisor with respect even if he doesn’t deserve it. Seventh: To the classes of 1925, 1926, and 1927 combined we bequeath the known privilege of standing in the hall and talking after school. To this there is a condition, to wit: Don't let Mr. Henderson or Miss Hause catch you. Eighth: To the school we seriously give our con- tinued love, honor, and respect. It has always been the custom for indi- vidual bequests to be made. This year, we are continuing the custom and several bequests have been made to various under- classmen and to persons who will show their identity next year. Jack Kerr to some worthy member of the Class of 1925 bequeaths his position as Big Boss” of the monitors. Cliff Scott bequeaths his taxi business to anyone who has the time and desire to haul a bunch” of girls around. He does not bequeath his well-known Ford. Many unnamed boys make a bequest to Miss Cunningham. It is that she will not be bothered by anyone for notebook paper, scratch paper, or pencils. She is to have peace and quiet. Anne Carey bequeaths her love of knowledge to Isabel Sager. Jack Hunsicker without any conditions gives to the most deserving man his ability to make a noise in debate. Reese Mahan bequeaths about six inches of his height to Joe Hoopes. Gwynne Humphrey bequeaths the honor of playing Santa Claus to anyone who’ll fit in the box on the stage. Ruth Kerwin bequeaths the honor of having the reddest hair of the Senior Class to Elizabeth Hayes. Snip” Sabatino gives to some under- classman who can successfully perform the duties, his ability to argue over anything at all. We, the Class of 1924, do draw this our last will and testament, this month of June, 1924. Class op 1924 (seal) J.

Baker, ’24 THE GARNET AND WHITE lUalefricturu (Delivered at the Commencement Exercis?s of the Class of 1924, June 12, 1924.) “The macing finger writes, and. having writ. Moves on : nor alt your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line. Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.” I he record of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four, made during these four happy years, has been completed. We cannot add to it: we cannot take away. Graduation has been a goal towards which we have been striving throughout these years, and now that it has really arrived, we feel, perhaps, a little sad, but there is always the future looming ahead of us, the years full of promise and labor. Keenly do we appreciate the interest, the time, and the aid of all those with whom our class has come into contact and whose kindly guidance and wisdom have enabled us to reach this stage of our school career. We thank you, members of the School Board, for your co-operation and the pro- motion of all enterprises which have been of such great benefit to us. Members of the Faculty, untiring have been your efforts to prepare us for this commencement, for our step into a larger world. It has often been a struggle for us to master our lessons, but with your aid we have always felt we were repaid for the attempt in the consequent achievement. It is almost impossible for us to express our gratitude for your attitude and inspir- ing influence, so we give you our heartiest thanks. We are happy that our parents may tonight share with us at least one moment of our pride and pleasure in the completion of one stage of our career and the begin- ning of a new one. The achievement has not been easy for any of us, and it has been naturally harder for some, but we are now better able to appreciate that it has been worth the labor and the sacrifice in most cases, and we have learned that only labor omnia vincit. Had not our parents supported us in this period of struggle, we should not have been able to continue. And now, classmates, we have come to the parting of the ways. Each one has his own course of life to pursue, but friendships, formed during our High School life, should ever and will ever endear to us the memory of our school days. Now there awaits us in this Garden of the World some field of labor for which each one of us is fitted: some go forth to cultivate one talent, others another. And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose, And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows; But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam. For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come. Our country is a garden, and such gardens are not made By smiling: Ah, how beautiful!' and sitting in the shade. While better men than we go out and start their working lives At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner knives. “Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders, If it s only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders: And when your work is finished you can wash your hands and pray For the glory of the garden that it may not pan away! And the glory of the garden it shall never pass away! Farewell! Anne Taylor Carey, '24 THE GARNET AND WHITE 45 Above—W. C. H. S. Track Squad. 1924. Below—W. C. H. S.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 49 3Jitninr Notes Another year has come and almost gone, and we, of the Class of 25, are about to start on the final portion of our high school life. A few more days and our most successful year will have ended. And it has been a successful year! We have participated in almost all of the school activities: we have gained honors; and we have gained knowledge. Experience is the best teacher, and experience has brought to us new stand- ards. higher ideals, and the courage and desire to go steadily onward and upward. We have learned that we must give our best—our all. We have learned the ne- cessity of co-operation and the meaning of work.” It is because we have done this that we appreciate the real value of our Junior year. When we were Freshmen and Sopho- mores, the Senior Class was our model, but as Juniors we have had to serve a sort of apprenticeship, in preparation for our Senior year, when we shall set the stand- ards for the underclassmen. So it is with varied feelings that we pre- pare to take the final step upward on the high school ladder. First, there is a feel- ing of satisfaction—that happy sort of feeling that comes when one has success- fully completed a hard task. Then, too, there is a tinge of regret—regret that we have but one more year to remain within the cherished walls of dear old W. C. H. S. Finally there is a new sense of responsi- bility—the all-important thing which must not be forgotten or shirked. Remem- ber, Juniors, we must succeed next year! Are you going to do your part? SPORTS Although the Junior Class is not par- ticularly large, there are quite a number of athletes in her ranks. More members of Twenty-five have turned out for sports this year than in previous years. Football claimed Miller, Yarnall, Veit, and Flagg, all of whom were letter men, besides some others, who did their bit on the scrub team. Later several Junior boys responded to the call for volunteers for soccer and for basketball. Townsend and Green are our representatives on the base- ball diamond, and Henderson, Fry, and Flagg are fighting for honors with the track squad. Reds Miller is the only member of the class on the tennis team. Junior girls, too, have shown an interest in sports. Ann Barclay and Alice Carey won recognition on the hockey team and Helen John on the basketball second team. OTHER ACTIVITIES Scholastic contests have also claimed the attention of a great many Juniors. In the Joseph S. Evans Speaking Contest, the class was well represented by Helen John, Katherine Kerlin, and Ann Barclay. Walter Liggett, Robert Warnock, and William Lear were the Junior speakers in the Boys’ Contest and Bili Lear captured Honor- able Mention for us. In the preliminaries for the National Oratorical Contest, our only representative, Ann Barclay, won sec- ond place. The results of the Junior Essay Contest were as follows: Robert Warnock, first prize: Helen John, Violet Darlington, and Isabel Sager, honorable mention. Junior Class. West Chester High School. 1923-1924 THE GARNET AND WHITE 51 The Junior Class has been very well represented in the various clubs. Quite a number of Juniors have participated in the programs of these clubs and several times have appeared in chapel. Our Junior year is ending. Our Senior drawing near, Our class is climbing upward Into a higher sphere. And may this be our motto To ever keep alive The name we’ve carried with us The Class of Twenty-five.” It will not be much longer Till another year rolls by. And then we shall be leaving Dear old West Chester High. Then, when that year is over With our colors all unfurled, We'll hurry forth victorious Into the great wide world. V.

When you see a dashing Junior Blushing scarlet in the face, Everytime he pulls his watch out There’s a woman in the case! Heard in Junior History Class “Dawes had a head on him that not many men have had before.” Salesman—“I want to sell you a bicycle for $20.00.” L. Kirk—“I don’t want a bicycle. I am going to buy a cow.” Salesman—“Now wouldn't you look funny trying to ride a cow around on your farm.” L. Kirk— Yes, but wouldn’t I look funnier trying to milk a bicycle?” Mr. Prutzman— What is temporary hard water?” Geo. Henderson—“Ice!” Miss Anderson— What did Oliver Wendell Holmes do for a living?” Hibberd Hutton—“Everybody!” Conner— I hope I didn’t hurt your foot when I stepped on it.” Betty— Oh, that’s all right. It hurt the first few times, but it’s numb now.” Frank Moore—After finding a gray hair in the head of Reds” Miller, “Silver threads among the Red. Mr. Prutzman— You say that Archi- medes discovered the law of specific gravity while getting his bath. Why had this never occurred to him before?” Voice from the rear— Probably this was the first bath he ever took.” Mitten— How much do you earn these days, Moore?” Moore— 150.00 per. Mitten— Per, per what?” Moore—‘ ‘ Perhaps. Senior—“Does Miss Hunt mark every mistake on your typewriting papers? Junior—‘Til say she does! Why she even marks it a mistake if you have a period upside down.” Marion Thompson— Do you like Paderwiski?” Polly Rothrock—“No, I like root beer.” THE GARNET AND WHITE Do You Remember When we were Freshies? When Grace Hobbs had bobbed hair? When Val used to like a certain Senior? When ‘ Joe Hoopes and Pete Hender- son knew their geometry? Your first red mark? Your first day in W. C. H. S. ? Your first High School Party? I hear a Junior say today, Just think! It is the month of May; We're almost through our Junior year We'll not forget it, never fear.” Of course it’s true, and we all know That Juniors must to Seniors grow; We’re not conceited, not a bit; We do not even think we’re it.” We know we cannot be forgot, And yet we're worried quite a lot; We’re wondering how they’ll manage here Without our Junior Class next year? But something seems to tell us all That when we come back in the fall There'll be a grand big Senior Class For everyone is going to pass. V. Darlington, ’25 ;Nutcs Of all the classes that I know The Sophomores are the best; But all the teachers rave and say, Those Sophomores are a pest.” Now listen, buddies, don’t get mad And pout and fuss and frown; Remember when we’re Seniors, Tis we who’ll wear the crown. Henry Gaul Frances Hath-a-way With which she conquers all: 'Tis here she rivals Caesar, She, too, has conquered Gaul. Miss Bawsel— Miss Taylor, what does LXX mean? Dottie Taylor (dreamily)— Why love and kisses'” What we've been wondering all year is— Why Alfred Jacob keeps so quiet? Why Acenith Townsend likes the song, My Sweetie’s Come Back in a Cadillac.” Why Bill Snyder likes Mah Jong so much? If Pris Garrett intends to grow any taller? Where Sam Barber learned to play jazz? When Betty Palmer gets time to think of all those questions? How Peg Sharpless gets time to make all them curls?” Why “Liz” Ranck likes to flirt so much? If Bunny” Johnson has a drag with the teachers? Why Shaffer Uhler likes to speak on the platform? How Enright Ellis would look dressed as a girl? When we’re Juniors, who’ll take Val’s place? How it feels to be a Junior? Betty has a little man, With hair of raven hue; Everywhere that Betty goes, Jimmie goes there too. You can’t say we're quiet because both of the cornetists in the orchestra are Sophs! We’re not asleep merely because we don’t make a sensation. I have a feeling that the other classes shouldn’t say any- thing about being dead. Isn't there a say- ing, It takes a thief to catch a thief?” Sam Barber (in History class)— Miss Shenk, are the people who lived in Peru called ’Prunes’?” Pete Hoffman (coming out of the lunch room)— Dorothy, wipe your mouth off! Dorothy Gee— Why, I can’t! I might need it tomorrow!” Morris Connor— Say, Sam, why don’t you go out for baseball?” Sam Barber— Oh, I think it’s such a cowardly game! Morris—‘' What! ’ ’ Sam— Oh yes; big boys like you bat- ting a little ball, then running for home.” Mary Leedom (reciting Opportunity” in English)— Then came the king’s son, hilt buried in the dry and trodden sand.” Miss Bawsel— Can anyone tell me just how old Caesar was when he was born?” From a Sophomore’s intelligence test paper we find that the larynx is in the stomach. THE GARNET AND WHITE 53 Sam Barber—“You say drop in ’ and “snoop around are colloquialisms? If you can say those, why can't you say ••drip in” and “drip along and see me?' The Sophomore's Good-bye Sophomore days are over now: We're older by a year— We've had a lot of fun and work, Joy and hope and fear. Now exams are over, We'll begin to sing: We are happy children. Passed in everything. Farewell, Senior comrades: May your days be bright, We shall miss you sadly. From morning until night. Juniors, now you're Seniors, Dignified and gay— May you, too, be happy Every coming day. Freshman, you are welcome To all we leave behind: To be a proper Sophomore Is very hard, you’ll find. Teachers, all, we love you You are each quite dear, And we thank you grandly For helping us all year. Marion Green, '26 Believe It or Not —If Richard Thomas were two inches taller, he couldn’t get in the classroom door. —Sara Cox has nothing but A’s on her report. —Pete Hoffman can run 60 yards in 50 seconds. —Marshal Jones was the star football player on the last year's team. —Alfred Jacobs has smiled exactly four times during his Sophomore year. —Florence Hoopes stayed up all night studying. —Elizabeth Courtney failed in all her ex- aminations. —The Sophomores are the most important class in High School!!! We Know Cheeks of flaming scarlet, Nose as white as snow, With lips of lip stick crimson, That's Franny” don’t you know. He is tall and very lean With no “rep” for being slow: A sheik he’s called by some, and 'Tis Henry Gaul you know. Very tall and rather heavy. An awfully good sport, and so— This girl who’s very popular Is Betty Palmer, you know. She is smart and very clever: To the head of the class she'll go; But, nevertheless, she's lots of fun— 'Tis Martindale, you know. Brown hair, brown eyes, and rosy cheeks, With stature rather low: This boy makes quite a hit with girls, For he's Walter Mitchell, you know. These verses are very silly As on and on they flow, But it really can't be helped, for They’re written by Nila Bates, you know. Walter gazed in open-mouthed amaze- ment. Never had he seen anything so beautiful. Golden curls, blue, innocent eyes, and best of all a cherry red mouth. Two dimples were imprinted deeply in her cheeks. He moved close, touched the blue rib- bon she wore on her curls. Then a frightened scream caused him to jump. As he jumped, the maid fell and he caught her in his big. strong arms. “My doll!” screamed Marion Green. “Walter Mitchell! Go home at once or you'll break her!” and Walter left, dis- illusioned. IfiTslmtan path's Freshman—“I think my teacher must be a German.” Senior—“Why?” Freshman—“Oh, his marks are so low.” Miss Bawsel trying to make Latin clearer to us little Freshies in seventh period class: “The third conjugation is like an Old Maid because there isn’t any beau (bo) in the future.” Miss Bawsel (in Latin class)—“Give me an English derivative of aperio.” Freshie—‘ ‘ Aspirin. ’ ’ 54 THE GARNET AND WHITE HDW WHEN AND WHERE DoTHE SOPHOMORES | GET THEIR COIN SOT ?

Willard Lapp— I'm Irving the Sec- ond.” The Opposite A teacher was teaching a lesson about opposites. . ‘ What is the opposite of sadness? she asked. “Gladness, was the response. “Good; now what is the opposite of woe? “Gid-dap!” exclaimed the class. A Netv Birthplace for Shakespeare Adele Musante in English class— Washington Irving went to visit the grave yard where Shakespeare was born. Bud” Betty— Gee, I could go on dancing like this forever. Edith Wilson— Oh Bud. how awful! Don’t you ever wish to improve? The Coming of Summer We long for the golden sunshine. The time when the weather is fine, When the robins, wrens and blue-jays Come with the long summer days. 'Tis then the rippling, singing streams, Play with pebbles and warm sunbeams While dipping blue violets and grasses Whisper to it as it passes Down on its way to the ocean In its ever onward motion. Anna Moore. ’27 The Freshman's Song of Woe Tune of Oh My,” etc Oh my! I am going to die: I can’t get Latin and I can’t get Algebra, And that’s the reason why. Oh my! I am going to die: Red marks there and red marks here, And that’s the reason why. Oh my! I am going to die: I can’t be a Freshman any more, And that’s the reason why. D. N. B., '27 John— Say Bill, what time is it?” Bill— One o’clock. John— You’re a liar. Bill— I'm not: I just heard the clock strike one three times. The Gang Johnny had an old gang That lived along his street; There were Sophs and Juniors and Seniors And Freshies so hard to beat. The Seniors were good at baseball, The Juniors tackled ’em low, The Sophomores had a wonderful serve: But the Freshmen had reason to blow. In baseball they hit homers, At football they were fine, They won many sets in tennis: They were athletes every time. Prichard’s a second Bill Evans, Joe Clark can pole vault high, Andy’s a peach of a fielder. And his playing makes Sophomores sigh. Eddie’s a wonder at center And Polly” can field like a dream: In every sport the Freshmen Can put out a winning team. As for scholars and industrious students There are many in Twenty-seven: Take a squint at our report cards— They’re as blue as the blue in heaven. Now we are only Freshmen, Green and awfully small: But wait ’till we grow to be Seniors, So big and proud and tall. Then we’ll be the school’s backbone And proud of this we’ll be: Don't you believe we can do it? Well, you just wait and see. Now all this gang Johnny loved, And would until he should die, For he knew as well as you do. That they loved old West Chester High. It’s nice to think of the school as a gang Working together in study, And to feel that each person you pass in the hall Is your good ole' pal and buddy. Carroll Beatty. ’27 THE CLASSES The Seniors have the beauties, The Juniors have the freaks. The Sophomores have the Shebas, But the Freshman have the Sheiks. E. D. W.

They say that the Sophomores Think they know it all: But soon, oh very, very soon. To Juniors we will fall. III. They say that the Juniors Try to boss around the rest. But before we have a chance to speak. The Senior class will be our nest. IV. The Seniors, poor old Seniors, Have been through an awful mess. Because they have been talked about, Four years in W. C.

Her voice is sweet as a bird We know she is never contrary At least that is what we have heard. Inez takes care of our money The boys all think she's a dear; When it comes to lessons, she knows them So of course she should never fear. % —Elizabeth Baldwin, '27 —Leonore Brinton, '27 SHIPS I. There was a silver ship afloat Upon a dark blue sea. And the many lighthouses around about Now what indeed could this be? II. The silver ship was but the moon. The sea was but the sky. And the many lighthouses aruond about Were the stars that shone near by. III. And, too, there was a golden ship Upon a light blue sea. And now I think that you can guess What this merry scene should be. IV. The golden ship was the golden sun. The light blue sea—the sky. So now you see we do have ships Over our heads, up high. —Adele Musante, '27 ASSEMBLY NOTES _fen ________® Senior Honors Senior honors for the Class of 1924 are as follows: Valedictorian, Anne Carey; Salutatorian, Dorothae Conrad; Anna Baker and Thomas Gawthrop. The two pupils named last were chosen by the Faculty on the basis of scholarship and service to the school. These four members of the class will speak at the Commence- ment exercises on June 1 2. “Open Road Contest This year the Open Road” Magazine conducted an Editorial Contest which was open to boys and girls throughout the country. Thomas Gawthrop, '24, won Honorable Mention and received a very commendatory letter from the Editor of the Magazine. The Play Festival Once again victory perched on our banner when for the ninth consecutive time we won the Daily Local News Trophy” at the County Play Festival held on May 11. Another beautiful silver cup now permanently adorns our Trophy case. Annual Essay Contests The Senior Essay Contest resulted as follows: First Prize, Helen Palmer: Honorable Mention, Dorothy Dale. Alice Fetters, Ruth Kerwin. The First Prize in the Junior Essay 58 THE GARNET AND WHITE Contest was awarded to Robert Warnock. Honorable Mention was awarded to Helen John, Violet Darlington, Isabel Sager. National Oratorical Contest The first District Contest preparatory to the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution of the United States to be held in Washington on June 6, was staged in West Chester on April 11. The Contest resulted in a triple tie including Upper Darby, Lansdowne, and West Chester. In the second Contest among the same contestants held at Upper Darby on May 2 first place went to Haverford, second place to West Chester. When Haverford withdrew because their con- testant had failed to comply fully with the rules of the Contest, West Chester assumed first place and had the honor of sending her representative to compete in the Regional Contest held in Philadelphia on May 12. Charles Hayward, ’24, winner of the D. Webster Meredith Contest, represented W. C. H. S. He made a splendid appearance bn the platform, and he delivered his oration in an easy, fluent, forceful style which won for him much commendation and which was an honor to the school. Extemporeous Speaking Contest This year the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity of Swarthmore College instituted an Ex- temporaneous Speaking Contest to take the place of the Oratorical Contests which they have been conducting annually for twenty- one years. Jack Hunsicker, ’24, repre- sented West Chester High School and brought honor to himself and to his School by his masterful treatment of the subject, Would Entering into the Idea and the Spirit of a World Court Necessitate Our Joining the League of Nations.’’ He won second place and brought home a beautiful silver loving cup for W. C. H. S. Anne Carey, ’24 The practice of exchange of any kind, whether of property or idea, is age-old. The exchange of ideas is one of the best means for the creation of new thought and the introduction to new sources of infor- mation. Often we lose sight of the value of the Exchange Department which may be made indispensable to the school magazine. We receive the magazines, comment upon them, send away our own magazines in return, but make very little use of the suggestions and the variety of ideas which the maga- zines offer. The criticisms, indeed, are often for a magazine issued several months before, so that by the time it has arrived the criticism is of little value or interest. We have enjoyed reading the school magazines and perceiving the reflections of school life and activities in each one. Every- one has been worth while and has excelled in some particular respect so that we have learned to distinguish it by that feature. We have greatly increased our Exchange Department this year, sending out several months from seventy to eighty magazines and receiving equally as many. We have succeeded also in obtaining exchanges from several western states: Illinois, Minnesota, Montana, and Kansas, and we have found them very interesting. On account of lack of space it has been impossible to acknowledge and comment upon each issue of all the magazines, but we have enjoyed them all and we wish to thank all our friends, both old and new, for their co-operation, their clever sug- gestions, and their valuable criticisms.
