We can thus conceive of no more fitting message to be given you in parting than a suggestion that you make it a real vacation. The year has no doubt been a tiring one for you. trying both mental and physical resistance. Those who have really worked have found plenty to do, and they leave school confident that the year has been spent to the best possible advantage. But now is the time for relaxation. By this we do not mean giving ourselves over to complete idleness for two months. For continued idleness is, in itself, as sure a cause of mental troubles as is overwork. It tends to produce lazy brains and slow thinking. How then, one may ask. is vacation to be spent? To be spent to the best advant- age. one should engage in some occupation totally different from that of the winter. Even as says the old adage. “Variety is the spice of life.” It is interesting to note that, for this express reason, ideas as to how best to spend a vacation vary widely. A shop girl, accustomed to the rush of the city finds rest in the quiet of the country, while a farm hand may secure just as much ben- efit from a visit to the city. Everything, then, goes back to the same idea: One must have a change. And the pupil's best vacation consists of doing any- thing which is foreign to school work. Some, who find themselves financially able may prefer a trip to a summer resort or to the mountains. Others may secure the equivalent by resting at home and visiting the country or spending times in the cool shade of borough parks. Still others will spend the summer engaging in some useful occupation, which, because of its variety, is surely not detrimental. The less fortunate will be forced to spend a portion of each day in summer school, paying probably for shirking dur- ing the time when others were working. Even as they were inconsistent then, so are they inconsistent now. So pass your vacation in that way which which will ultimately prove of most good to you. and when the high school or. for some, it will be college, bell rings for you in the fall you will be prepared to resume work with vim and enthusiasm which will carry you to victory during the whole year. With the issuing of this Commencement number of the Garnet and White we of the staff find our year’s work completed. Our success or our failure can be determined only in the mind of each subscriber, but we can assure all that we have spared no efforts to make this year's publication a successful one. The group which has compiled each issue of our magazine is really of far greater size than one would imagine. In this Commencement number, for instance, there have been over a hundred who have combined their efforts, each in his place, to make it a success. Some secured advertise- ments, some contributed personal writeups, some gave pictures, and still others added their bits to our regular departments. This whole publication represents the com- bined effort of all these workers, and to them we wish to express our sincere appre- ciation. Another group that lent its aid during the year, aside from the student body, was our advertisers, and we are grateful to them for their support. You. our subscribers, likewise, have helped us in the very begin- ning of our work, and we thank you for this aid. And to those who have given us ma- terial for the several issues, and to the members of the faculty who have aided in the compilation of our magazine we are very grateful. The editor desires to express his grati- tude to his staff for their loyal work during the year. With earnest co-operation they have sought to make the year's work suc- cessful. To those who will take our places next year we can but wish the greatest success. May they strive to perfect our imperfec- tions and to carry on the high standard which we have attempted to set.

Those who have known Joe for the last four years have found in him a good friend and a good sport. Joe well go to Pierce's Business College next fall to take up a business course. We wish him luck.

Ann. who has won us much fame in oratorical contests. Ann not only excels in speaking; she also writes remarkably good free verse. This was shown by The Smokestake” in the poetry number of the GARNET AND WHITE.. Ann is an all-round bright student and good sport lor there is nothing too hard for her to try. and. in trying, to do well. She has two hobbies, arguing and dueling, both of which she enters into with enthusiasm. Mount Holyoke should consider itself lucky that Ann has chosen it for her college.

Willard is a jolly, good fellow,” who. ever since the Fresh- man year, has been willing to give substantial support to any- thing from a basketball team to a Hi-Y Club. Such boys as Willard can t be kept down, so you see him in the fore of al- most every happening in the school. Willard is going to Pittsburgh next year to take a place in an oil company. 6 THE GARNET AND WHITE (Class Jinll William Thomas Baird Commercial ‘'Happy am I. from care im free. Why aren't they all as contented as me.” Class Treasurer. Ill: Senior Adviser. IV. Bill is one of our Commercialites without whom our class would be incomplete. If we forget everything else about Bill, we can never forget his laugh. He has a laugh all his own with which we are all familiar and perhaps many of the teachers have become acquainted with it. Bill intends to take up a trade after leaving High School. We wish him success in what- ever he undertakes. Hervey Ballou Scientific “To those who know him best a friend most true and hearty.

Although Hervey has been with us only three years of the four, he has established a name for himself as one of our radio experts. Hervey is mechanically inclined and expects to take up an engineering course at Penn State next year. Hervey is one of our jovial fellows who always tries to look on the bright side of life. We wish him success in the future. Charles Bernard Beidler General “A quiet chap who does his work and does not talk about it. Orchestra. I. II. III. IV: Typewriting Certificate. Ill: Type writing Medal. IV: Radio Club. Ill: Commerical Club. IV. Bernard is one of those silent boys, but the silent boys are often the best. There is perhaps a reason for this: Bernard is a radio fan. and radio is enough to drive anyone to silence or even to hermitage. Bernard may be silent, but he makes up for that on his violin and typewriter, the two making enough noise for three. Bernard intends to take a Post-Graduate course next year. Valerie Bicking General “Ever ready with a merry joke. She’s sure to cure your blues.” Girls' Glee Club. I. II. III. IV: Health Crusaders. I. II: Science Club. Ill: Orchestra. Ill; Dramatic Club.

We all wonder just how High School will progress next year without Val?’’ We know we shall miss her because she’s so jolly, and so we know the rest of H. S. will too. Val’’ is as cheerful as can be: of course, there are time when she’s not: but no secrets are mentioned here. Val expects to go to Normal next year, and we all wish her the best success and happiness in her new school. THE GARNET AND WHITE 7 Marguerite E.

Studious, good-natured, industrious, quiet and yet full of 'pep” is the best way we can describe John. Always present, yet never heard. John has been one of the best students of our Class. He spent most of the time in the Commercial Depart- ment: that’s why we didn't hear much of him. John will lake a position after leaving school. We wish him success in the business world. Lydia M.

Clifford is one of the quiet members of our Class, who possesses, nevertheless, a subtle humor that makes him a fav- orite with those who really know him. In arguments his opponents always finds themselves at his mercy. He is a great reader, and. consequently his opinions on literary subjects are to be accepted as authoritative. Clifford expects to attend Normal School next year. Francis Burnett Industrial Scientific ”Oh. this learning—what a thing it is.” ‘Cocky’' is about three feet tall, and he looks shorter, but he proves that good goods come in small packages. He has the reputation of never having lost an argument. His sunny smile has made for him many friends. He expects to take a position. Mildred S. Byers General ”I am a part of all that I have met.” “Mildred” has been with us for four years, but we don’t see much of her. as she is taking a General Course, and most of her subjects are over in the Commercial Department, where she has done good work.

Dramatic Club IV. We scarcely know Elizabeth is around sometimes because she’s so quiet. But. even though she is so. she’s a hard worker and loves to ’’stick by” everything we do.

Cecile Kelly Classical Health Crusade II: Class Secretary II: Assistant Class Trea- surer III, IV: Spelling Championship IV: Dramatic Club IV. “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with And pleasant .too. to think on.” Cecile is our little ' cook ': at least, that is the role she had in our school play: and she filled the bill in a charming manner.

Lewis Kirk General “The secret of success is constancy of purpose” Basketball Squad I: Soccer I. II. Ill: Captain Soccer IV; Track I, II. Ill; Captain Track IV; Senior Adviser IV.

Once a quiet little miss (?) named Ella Meredith wandered into our school and wrapped herself around the hearts of many. Ella succeeded in “catching” one of our former students, and we wonder if that is the reason she is forever writing “B’s” all over her papers. Ella expects to go on to school, and no doubt she will cap- ture more hearts. Success attend you! Margery E. McGowan General Music Club III: Spanish Club III.

Our very best endeavor will ever be for you. Our colors. Blue and White, will for loy- alty stand fast. To you we sing our praises now as in the past. With you we’ve had our pleasures within your very walls: We’ve gained our marks and honors: we've wandered through your halls. Here we have gained true knowledge: to use it we will strive. So may we all remember our Class of “T wenty-five.” Valerie Bicking, '25. § alutaturu G T9 (Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1925. June 11, 1925). We. the Class of 1925, heartily wel- come you who are assembled here tonight. Parents, Faculty, School Board, and Friends, your presence brings us true hap- piness. We salute you! During the four years of training each one of us learns many things of great im- portance. In these years the basis of each life is founded, without which life would amount to little. All of you are in part responsible for this training, and be assured that we thank you. In return for this each one of us will go out into life and try to be of some use to our nation, our State, our town, and our school. We now have come to the close of our preparatory training and we go forth into life to build upon the foundations that have already been laid here—time alone will show whether or not these founda- tions are firm, but we realize that you. Our Parents, the Faculty and the School Board, have done your best to make them so. To you. the Faculty, who have been the builders of the foundations of our lives, who have taught us many important les- sons of life, who have molded our minds, as they should be molded, who have done your best to send us forth from High School to become good citizens—to you we extend greetings. To you. our Parents, who have seen to it that we were given all the opportunities of an education, who have cheered us when we were disheartened and discouraged, who have made us study when we thought that our lessons would be better unstudied, who have helped us over obstacles which we could not have surmounted without your aid—to you we extend a special greeting. 30 THE GARNET AND WHITE We can never repay our debt to you with complimentary language; we can only re- pay it by the lives that we lead henceforth. Tonight, however, we are happy to let you know how grateful we are to you, and we hope that the lives we shall lead in the fu- ture will be such as will be an honor to you and to our Alma Mater. To you, the members of the School Board and the citizens, who have seen to it that we were provided with the materials with which to build the foundations of our lives, who have given money freely so that you might make us into good citizens —to you we owe a debt. But for you we could not have had this preparatory train- ing, nor would we have been able to go forth as good and capable citizens. We greet you. In speaking of the foundations of our own lives does it not seem fitting that we should think of the foundations of the lives of those who will follow us, and of our place in helping to lay those founda- tions. As the world advances farther and farther, it is necessary that the lives of those who make up the world should be stronger and stronger. Greece gave her citizens knowledge as a foundation for their lives. When Greece was at the height of her power mentally, she fell, because she did not include religion and God. morality and high ideals in the lives of her people. For the same reason Rome fell, and other countries followed in their footsteps, as will any country under like circumstances. If we are to profit by the foundations laid in our own lives and if we are to give our posterity a solid foundation, we must base it on Education, not mere knowledge. We must remember that Knowledge does not comprise all which is contained in that large term education. True and worthy motives are to be inspired, a profound re- ligious feeling is to be instilled, and pure morality is to be inculcated under all cir- cumstances.” In our lives, then, and in the lives of our posterity we must include high ideals that will stand the test of a life-time and help to make the world better. We must in- clude also religion: for religion leads to truth and faith. And we must also in- clude morality— the desire to do right as right.” With these thoughts in mind, with these aims, these ideals, we. the Class of 1925, now go forth into life—we, the new gen- eration, go forth to try to make the world better. May each one of us strive to repay to you and to our fellowmen by loyal and unselfish service all that you have done for us, and may we make the world a better place for the next generation. Walter Liggett. 1925 “(EXtumtu-filic” Blue are the distant ranges That loom against the sky. Blue, and they seem as filmy As the clouds that pass them by. Yet are they formed of mountains. Rugged and huge and strong. Which have braved howling tempests And stood for ages long. White are the virgin snow-flakes That drift across the earth, Stainless and all unsullied By tread that scorned their worth: And so they stand for honor And truth and purity And all the kindred virtues That must protected be.

Ann Barclay, 1925. THE GARNET AND WHITE 31 Class Jtistory It is a good plan in writing to follow an outline, so, after carefully perusing H. G. Well's Outline of History” and Stephen Leacock's Outlines of Everything,” we have decided to begin at the beginning. The usual beginning is “Once upon a time —” but. as this is to be the final, author- ized, authentic, and carefully compiled his- tory of the Class of '25 and not a fairy tale, we shall have to be more explicit. So: On September 5, 1921, the doors of W. C. H. S. opened to admit a motley crowd of youngsters, some one hundred, seventy-five strong, most of whom arrived bright and early for their first day in High School. Unbelievable as it may seem, we. the dignified, aged Seniors, were numbered among that crowd of youthful innocents. The expressions on our faces must cer- tainly have been amusing to the upper classmen, for pathos, bewilderment, sur- prise, studied nonchalance, and even bore- dom were mingled in most of our faces. Many of the girls wore hair-ribbons and socks: and long trousers among the boys were as scarce as D's on Horace Darling- ton’s reports. Everyone was very shy: Wes Townsend and a few of the other boys carried their caps around with them all day because they were too timid to ask where to hang them. We lived up to tradition—stood up for interminable lengths of time in chapel, blundered into Senior classes and out on the Senior steps, and took our share of razzing” and of freak hair cuts when Hallowe'en came 'round. We grew in knowledge and in stature (mostly in head sizes) during the year. When Ann Barclay surprised the upper classmen by capturing Honorable Mention in the Joseph S. Evans Contest, and Bill” Lear followed her example in the Boys’ Contest, most of us had to get new hats. By the end of the year we were well- organized. with a constitution, class offi- cers. n'everything. “Gus Taney was our first class president. We don’t know what we did to Gus” or to George Down- ing, our second president, but we must have had a bad effect on them, for both have left. Nothing very exciting happened dur- ing our second year except the choice of our pennants, but we did not allow the rest of the school (especially the Fresh- men), to forget that we were very much alive. Catherine Malin upheld our stan- dards by winning second prize in the speaking contest. By the time we passed the Sophomore milestone and became Juniors, we had quite grown up. Those few girls whose crowning glory still remained un- shorn now put it up. and one by one the boys ventured forth in long trousers and with deep, bass voices. We elected Dan Cornwell president during our Junior year. He was a little more courageous than the others and stayed with us. To us as Juniors fell the choice of a new. permanent seal for class rings and pins, and we were, and are, mighty proud of the result of that choice. Ann and Bill again gathered more honors in the Speaking Contests, and Ann further des- tinguished herself by capturing second prize in the Oratorical Contest. Spring came, and with it came the task which we all dreaded but which we have found was just a taste of what has fol- lowed this year. The “Day came and went, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief when he had handed in his Junior Essay. Then, of course, we gave the Seniors a picnic, and this was safely carried off ex- cept for a few casualties reported as being due to an attempt to drain the can of punch. The picnic and those awful finals over, we said good-bye to our Junior year, and were Seniors. Seniors! What a glorious word! And what a glorious year! We who had been scorned and unsung as underclassmen now occupied the throne of Seniordom and ruled supreme and happily. Our athletes, Miller, Townsend, Flagg. Kirk, Smith, Mood, and the others, who had been growing in numbers and in glory now be- came the stars of the gridiron, track, dia- mond, and basketball floor. Several of the girls also showed remarkable athletic ability (chiefly in playing Three-Deep and Drop the Handkerchief” on the front terraces).

Baby Day came along to provide hilar- ty for us and amusement for the whole school. Baby Day”—with that awful march into and out of chapel, with Mr. Henderson reading nursery rhymes, with most of the girls and Bill Lear in romp- ers, and with Walter Liggett. Robert War- nock, and John Simpson, in Buster Brown collars, and with our president, Joe Hoopes, in long trousers and a piccadilly! After our orgy of lollipops and snap- shots, we settled down to the final lap of our high school careers. Finals—the pic- nic—only a little while, and the class of ’25 will be shaking and shivering as it receives those long awaited diplomas. Then we shall be Seniors no longer: but. as we leave, we shall have just one sincere wish—that we shall not soon be for- gotten. Marguerite E. Biddison, 1925. Jfatcs of ’25 Twas a merry assembly of ghosts that convened One moonlight night on the cemetery green. What a moon was above us! And clear was the night! We rattled our bones in pure delight To scent the sweet odors of flowers and grass And unanimously agreed they were all unsurpassed. It was all such a contrast to tombs where we lay Patiently or otherwise awaiting Dooms- day. Few people realize that ghosts can be merry. What else could we be on the anniversary When two hundred long solemn years have gone past Since that wonderful year of our old Senior class? We all have since realized that in ’25 We were spending the happiest days of our lives. But we. sad to say, never realized it then. Oh! that fate would be kind and bring them again. We ghosts sat around on benches and tombs And talked of old times as we waited the glooms. When all of our class would be spirited in. Our bones well adjusted, and we should begin. As we laughed, our bones rattled and made such a din It closely resembled a hail storm on tin, And the cause of the clatter to each one was clear: Someone mentioned the wedding of Dar- lington—Lear. Then came to our ghost ears a horrible din, And we saw Johnny Flagg being spirited in, He brought a wide grin and—gracious alive! A ghost of a football from old '25. Ten minutes later the ghosts were all there, And weird shrieks and wailings were rending the air. Then our President. Joe Hoopes (who had never liked violence) Climbed up a huge mounment and shrieked out. Silence! I wish to suggest that each member relate How his life and career have been handled by fate.” The suggestion approved, we all settled to hear The wonderful works of each earthly career. Then up from our midst rose philoso- phers, teachers. Editors, scientists, doctors, and preachers. Novelists, poets, artists, musicians, Business men, bankers, and slick poli- ticians. Each account that was given brought forth a shrill cheer, But we couldn’t begin to retail them all here; So out of the many we’ll take just a few Top left—Officers, Audubon Club.

Robert Warnock’s whole life was all sunshine—no strife. For he happily labored with'Kate’’ as his wife. She supplied him with news like a quite useful prattler. And they won great renown with their Awgwan Tatler. Dinny” Harman had on Broadway a movie concern, And with “Hank Hoopes as director they made money to burn. Our friend. Cecile Kelly, was their bril- liant star. And folks came to praise her near and afar. Old '25's songbird, Martha Fackler by name. Became a great singer and won highest fame. Ann Barclay's accomplishments were not unrewarded. For to her the Up an’ doin' ” prize was awarded. Walter Liggett chose the career of a poet, And spent his life trying to make the world know it. As a member of '25 no one could be “meeker,” But “Wes” Townsend became the Sen- ate's “Loud Speaker. Mary Windle instructed an art school out west, And of all the world's pictures her own were the best. Bill Baird's West Chester-Frazer Aero- plane route, Simply put the old “dinkey” entirely “out.” One of his passengers, in rain or in sun. Was Marian Thompson who rode “just for fun.” Bill Lear as a stage star” broke too many hearts, But he finally succumbed to one of wee Cupid’s darts. Betty Broomall soon shocked all the vast business world. By her famous magazine the “Business Woman’s Herald. The celebrated law firm of Carey and Carey” Progressed very well when the twins weren’t contrary. “Peg” Smith proceeded all bad germs to slaughter, And devoted her life to gain West Chester Pure Water, But alas for the fate of our chemical wizard. She died a sad death, for she swallowed a lizard. Dr. Horace Darlington did well from the start. And became a great specialist in “troubles of the heart.” As an expert “gym teacher, “Lyga Brinton did thrive, And she sang her last song when a hund- red and five. Twice “Billie” Van Leer toured the world in a ship, To gain thoughts for her novel. “The Tip of the Whip.” For a time. Polly Rothrock thought nursing “the thing, But alas! she eloped with a good-looking king. Pete Henderson as a salesman was fine. But he wore people out with his long- drawn-out line. Frank Miller invented a strange one-man flier, But in one desperate flight he lost all his desire. In political affairs “Skeeter Biddison was great.” And she skillfully governed the old Key- stone State. Izzy Sager had a most briliant career, And she spryly played jacks” till her eighty-fifth year. Dr. John Ricci, the “Painless Dentist. Extracted many teeth by the use of his fist. John Simpson established a large candy shop. And invented a “strictly new” lolly-pop. Darwin Way spent his life as a great engineer. And tunneled to China in less than a year. Helen John founded a select school for girls. And taught them new dances and fan- tastic whirls. Betty Garrett and Ella Meredith each married a lawyer, And spent easy days reading books like “Tom Sawyer.” “Kay” Smith and Gladys Walter were travelers of renown. And visited old Europe “up” and then “down.” Echoes from “Baby Day”—Senior Class, 1925 THE GARNET AND WHITE 37 John Brinton was a clown in a show, And by pleasing the people he made it Miriam Thorne as a nurse was simply first rate. And her affaires cl amour numbered seventy-eight. Joe” Hoopes, Charlie” Townsend, and Harold Sylvester Established a new banking system in West Chester. The lives of us writers were short and grey: For our old High School days we soon pined away. If the fates we’ve omitted you wish to know, At the stroke of the midnight hour go 1 o an old deserted fallen stone, There you will be met with shrieks and groans Of a tattered, shrouded, crumbled three: Joe Hoopes appointed them a committee To relate the tales that we’ve left out: You'll be well informed we have no doubt.

Really though, that isn't a bit original compared to Billie Lear’s profession. My dear, a Spanish street dancer! Yes, a regular dancing Don! With poor Violet grinding away at a hand-organ! Then Nora Petty—a Follies star, my dear! Oh, yes! Isn't it surprising? A shining success though! And speaking of successes, did you ever know a finer tragedienne than Martha Fackler? As Lady Macbeth well —really I wept through the whole per- formance! Positively shed tears! Isn't it too bad Robert Warnock couldn’t have braced up? What! My dear, where have you been? Oh, yes! Australia! Well, it’s positively depressing. The poor boy —you remember The Raven? —was too greatly influenced by Poe, and took to drink. Yes!—Took to drink!—writes poetry in the gutter, you know. Oh! Poetry! Have you seen Walter Liggett lately? Hair down to his shoulders, my dear! Smocks! Oh, quite the modern poet. Izzy!” But here comes the Bur- gess. Why, certainly it's Eva Scarlet— her second term you know. Congressman Simpson was saying only the other day— But don't you remember John Simpson? Of course you do! He and Harold Syl- vester are our representatives in Congress. Although I don't believe either would have made it if it hadn't been for“Shrimp Thorne—a stump speaker, you know. Oh, quite convincing! Yes, indeed, ’25 has certainly proved itself a unique class. I’ve been looking up some of the crowd. There’s Billie Baird on the Supreme Court bench and Clifford Butler raving up and down the Senate. Then, Darwin Way starting that new cult (all symbols and incense) and—well, primitive savagery. Oh. that reminds me! Did you hear of poor Pete” Henderson? A foreign missionary, Izzy! So promis- ing! And eaten by those frightful sav- ages!!!! But what a wonderful kinder- garten teacher Val Bicking makes. You know, of course, that “Charlie” Town- send and Pat Patterson help her with the smaller tots? Dan Cornwell applied for the position, but was unable to control the children. Kissy” Kelly is raising po- tatoes and trying to prove that an Irish po- tatoe is a sweet potato. “Skeeter” Biddison is Postmaster General and Frank Miller is her butler (grows his own sideburns now.) But who would have thought that Frank Hoopes would become a Minister? So dignified and sedate, Izzy!” And Gladys Jamison! Gladys Jamison of all people a circus performer! Oh. well, after that, I suppose anything could happen—even Hayes Clark become the dog-catcher (for which position, by the way. he’s been electioneering for a month). Of course —Oh! Had you heard of Willie Best and Edna Hall? Married last year—don’t remember them knowing each other in High School either.

Class prm We. of the Class of 1925, having re- cently been informed that final examina- tions will be upon us on May 26, have concluded that our life as students of W. C. H. S. is gradually drawing to a close. When we entered the Senior stage, the last lap of our journey, we inherited many customs from those who have gone before, and in turn they must be passed on to those worthy members of the Junior Class who are capable of carrying them on. There are certain customs and traditions which must be willed to the Junior Class as a whole: I. We give and bequeath to the Class of '26, B1 and B3 to be used as attend- ance rooms. We hope that they will be as quiet and orderly as they have been during the past year. II. We bequeath to the Class of ’26, the privilege of being first in the lunch line. We advise them to hurry or they may develop a more costly appetite wait- ing for the members of the faculty to be served. III. We beqeauth to the Class of ’26. the honor of using the front steps as an exit, an entrance, and also as a loafing place at noons (weather permitting). The officials, however, would prefer that they would not be used for penny-match- ing contests. IV. We give the Class of ’26 the priv- ilege of playing “three-deep and “ring- around-the-rosy. on Church Street. We hope, however, that when they are indulg- ing in these pastimes they will not get too rough, for fear of setting a bad example for the grade children. V. We bequeath to the Class of ’26 the agony and torture of spending two weeks with Burke and his speech. “On Conciliation With America.” VI. We give and bequeath to the Class of '26 the honor of using the front seats of the middle section of the auditorium. We hope, however, that none of the mem- bers of the Class will heave any missiles in the direction of the speaker. VII. To several illustrious members of the Class of '26 will fall the honor of becoming monitors and Senior advisers. We desire to see these customs carried out to the best of the ability of those upon whom the burden falls. Now comes the task of willing to cer- tain individual members of the Class of ’26 certain personal qualities that the members of '25 have attained in High School. To wit: I. Billy Lear’s rompers to Gilbert Passmore. II. To Walter Mitchell. John Flagg’s job as Chief of Police. We hope that there are not too many arrests necessary. III. William Munshower’s height to Harlan Phillips. IV. Dorothy Roye's place at the piano to Sam Barber. V. George Henderson’s readiness to argue to Charlie Zook. VI. Elizabeth Chubb's shyness to Marion Myers. VII. To Paula Snyder, Ann Barclay’s ability as an orator. VIII. The Careys’ twinship to the Reagans. IX. Anna Lilley's championship of Marshallton to Christine Johnson. X. Francis Mood's position as jester and clown of the Class of '25 to “Chee” Stancato. Class of ’26. XI. Furthermore, we, the members of the Class of '25. do hereby give and be- queath to the members of the Class of ’26 the honor, respect, and dignity that our to THE GARNET AND WHITE SENIOR PARISH 1$ LL DA v ’OlYfURB ’HETias.T’ , CHlNGrONfHE M0RNIN OP SfN RS’DA THE GARNET AND WHITE 41 Class has carried so well through its four years. We hope that this last bequest will be carried out to the best of the ability of the Class of ’26. May they honor the school laws, and uphold the name of the school in setting a good example for the underclassmen, and in this way “Trans- mit the school not less, but greater, better. and more beautiful than it was transmited to us.’’ We, the class of 1925. do draw this our last will and testament, to go into effect on June 11, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five. Class of 1925, Joseph P. Hoopes, Pres. •jFarrliu'll :}LWm The earth is filled with Springtime once again, And ’tis a happy spring and yet a sad, For “Twenty-five must say farewell and go Out from the paths that she has learned to love. To higher paths that ever lead us on. And teach us truths, and make us firm and strong. Life's Springtime comes but once to every- one; Then must he plant his seeds for summer’s store, 'J is now our planting time, for all before Has been naught but the tilling of the soil. The gathering of the seeds. But now to go And plant our seeds in soil and make them grow! We'll step out from old High School’s sheltering walls Into a world of roses and of thorns. And may the Guiding Hand that rules our lives Teach us to breathe the fragrance of the rose— To bear the thorns. Dear Alma Mater, now We humbly seek thy blessing ere we go.

June II. 1925) Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this, too, will be swept away.” —Aurelius. Yes, four short years of high school life have come and gone! Four years of help- ful instruction and many valuable acquaintances are the results of our harvest. What will these acquisitions mean to us in after life? Do these commencement exercises automatically take place annually to make room for more students desirous of an education? Let us see. The first Commencement exercises in America were held at Harvard University. The idea of holding a commencement was transplanted into American Colleges from Cambridge University, England, by the early educators and men of letters. They believed that the graduates should be given some recognition by their masters and that the exercises should be held in the autumn immediately before the beginning of each school term. Furthermore, before receiv- ing his degree each recipient was required to deliver a dissertation which was his final test. Although these customs have been gen- erally abandoned, we find the present con- ception of commencement the same as in the days of our forefathers. Our sturdy ancestors were mindful of the future, real- izing what the advancement from the school of theory to the school of practice meant to each graduate. And so this sol- emn occasion merely marks the close of one period in our life career—namely, our high school training. We are being grad- uated to a higher level. One more rung in the ladder to success will have been reached after these exercises this evening. Dr. Holmes so beautifully conveys this same idea in his Chambered Nautilus : Build thee more stately mansions. O my soul. As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou at length art free. Leaving thine out-grown shell by life's unresting sea!” And now. dear parents and friends, we hope that these exercises will mean some- thing to you as well. Only through your assistance and faithful co-operation have we been able to better appreciate school life. You have made it possible to have such an efficient school system in West Chester: consequently, these exercises this evening should inspire you with a keen interest in the machinery of this great fac- tory as well as in the finished products dis- played before you. We thank you. Members of the School Board and Faculty, for your attempts to make this commencement worthwhile. You have been directly responsible for our material gain in high school. Fellow classmates, tomorrow we shall be alumni of this school of ours: to- morrow will see each and every one of us starting on a new phase of his life career. Let us remember that the eyes, the wishes, the hopes of our friends, our families, and our Alma Mater will follow us eagerly, anxiously to see what account we shall render of ourselves. Let us determine that whatever path of life we pursue we shall pursue it conscientiously and efficiently. Then and then only shall we be a credit to our Alma Mater! And now. as we say “Farewell and go forth on our journey, although our hearts may feel sad, let us look at each other and smile— For the sweetest of smiles is the smile as we part. When the light round the lips is a ray from the heart: And lest a stray tear from its fountain might swell. We will seal the bright spring with a quiet 'Farewell'!” Horace Fenelon Darlington, ’25.

Al—! Anyhow, to please her I had to git the suit and we went out on the street looking like $1.000.000. Everybody most turned and stared at us, but I just walked along as if they wasn’t there and then we came to the crossin and one of them oil wagens was coming around the corner and Edna saw it and jumped back, but I was looking in a mirror in a store window, so I didn’t see it and that blink blank tar went all over my noo suit.

And our old High School buddies. All we ask, in future years: May we forget our studies! Edna Pusey, '27 SUSPENSE! A fearful scene met my eyes. Before me on an elevation crouched a group of desperate men and women, glaring at their leader as if waiting for a signal. They were armed in various ways and had the most barbarous aspect about them. As soon as my blood began to melt I began to count the number of these grim people and to my surprise I found there were only fourteen or fifteen of them. On the left in a shrinking attitude, cowered a man with two sticks and what looked like a tom-tom. As my eyes roved over the group I noticed that the back ground was composed of men holding hollow tubes apparently to shoot darts. I also noticed many of them holding empty boxes with sticks for which I could find no explana- tion. My hair stood on end and horrible shivers ran up and down my spine as I noticed the leader with a determined smile raise a slender wand and give the signal. Thank Heaven! muttered Mr. Hart, they’ve begun right at last.” And the orchestra settled down. D. N. B„ ’27.

Don't laugh; I know it sounds funny. But—do you be- lieve it?—I used to weigh 220 pounds. ‘Well, about a month ago, I started to diet. Say, girlie, take my advice, and, when you're on a diet, be sure you are go- ing to stay in the house. I went to school, took gym’ and all, when I dieted. As a result the first few days of dieting put me on the bum.’ O was awful weak. In fact, I had to go to bed about the third day. I soon became disgusted with that sort of life so I gave it up after the first week or so. Then I started to eat again. I had 'kept off' candy for so long when diet- ing that to look at a piece, even now, makes me sick. But I can eat sodas and sundeas as well as anyone else. I’m going to start dieting again and ’stick to it’ next time. Do you know what I'd like to do? I'd just like to go to the shore or to the country with only mother, this summer. Then I’d diet the whole season. When I come back to school in the fall, every- body will turn around and ask. 'Who is that new girl?’ Won’t I laugh? They always say, 'He who laughs last, laughs best.' and I’ll prove it. Oh! I'll be so tickled.” She added reassuringly. I’m going to reduce this summer, you see.” So, let each one of us be on the lookout next September for a “new, thin. Junior girl.” Mildred Tapper, ’27 THE CLASS OF “TWENTY-SEVEN” I he Sophomores are the bestest class They have a heap of sports; I hey have a way to cheer you up When you're all out of sorts.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 61 DRAMATICS THE SOCK AND BUSKIN CLUB In our High School, before last year, the dramatics of the school were in charge of the individual teachers or departments. The assembly programs were made up by various clubs throughout the school. For instance, each year the French Club would present a French play, the Spanish Club a Spanish play, the History Department a History play, the Gymnastic Department an Exhibition of their work, and the Art Club would have a play which usually would tend to improve our taste” for colors or to teach us colors that go well to- gether. Of course, some days we would have speeches and recitations by students and outside talent. Now. the plays are still being given, but most of the cast in each case is chosen from the Dramatic dub. This Club came into existence last school year. 23-’24. Miss Swadener the head of our English Department, was instrumental in starting it. 'and has been faithfully and enthusiastically working toward perfection in our dramatics. In order to become a member of the Club, each applicant of '23-’24 was obliged to make a speech, stating his reasons for want- ing to join the Dramatic Club. Every- one who took the test passed, and the Club was started with seventy members. There were several one-act plays given before the school assembly. Two of these plays. The Maker of Dreams. and The Florist's Shop,” were repeated and given with The Wonder Hat.” at the New Century Club, for a public performance at the end of the year. This year. ’24-’25. our Club was started again. Many of the members of last year were in the Graduating Class, but there were many new applicants for membership. The following officers were elected: Ann Barclay, President: William Lear, Vice President: Violet Darlington, Secretary: and Kathryn E. Smith. Treasur- er. The entrance requirement this year was to recite a poem, give a reading, or take part with a group in a short play. This year all the applicants were admitted. Our Club has. this year, seventy-five mem- bers. most of them being girls. The first matter of business of the Club this year was to choose a name. Many names were suggested and submitted to be voted upon. The Club chose “The Sock and Buskin Club. A committee was then appointed to find a suitable design for a Club Pin. After much deliberation we have now decided on a small pin with which we hope every member will be pleased and of which he will be proud. On April 24th and 25th. the Sock and Buskin Club presented at the New Cen- tury Club, Come Out of the Kitchen,” a three-act comedy, by A. E. Thomas. We feel that it was a great success, and that it showed some of the best talent in our school. The Club and the school owe a debt of gratitude to Miss Swadener and her assistants who coached the cast for this production. Next year, and from now on. we ex- pect to do great things in our Sock and Buskin Club. Gladys Walter. 1925. COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN Cast of Characters Olivia Dangerfield, alias Jane Ellen.

Instruction is given during the periods not devoted to required Art Classes. The members have the privilege of the use of the Art Room any period of the day. provided they can work quietly without instruction. The aim of the Club is to discover and develop the talents of those specially gifted: to prepare these students for Art Schools: to accomplish the special problems, as en- trance in County. State and National Poster Contests, and the planning and the presenting of Assembly programs, for which the time allotment of required classes is too brief: to co-operate with all departments in the way of making posters or placards to advertise plays, games, etc., in designing school banners and pennants, in making cartoons for the school paper, in designing costumes and stage sets for pageants and school plays, in fact, in any matter where the fundamental principles of art. good taste and sound judgment should function. In addition to the various contests en- tered. the members have worked up and presented two assembly programs. The first consisted of a talk, by Dorothy Burdette, on Art Values in General Edu- cation. and an illustrated talk on Color Formation and Harmony, by Dorothy Gee. who was assisted by William Lear. Priscilla Garrett dyed all the materials and made all the charts for this demon- stration. This program was given in cel- ebration of Art Week, which was a part of National Education Week this year. The second program was a Fashion show. The members were busy for six weeks searching for appropriate costumes for particular occasions, from among the student body. The real purpose of the show was a demonstration of practical, good-looking clothes of good material, ap- propriate to the occasion. There were twenty-one models, boys as well as girls. Priscilla Garrett made brief remarks about each, as they appeared. William Lear ar- ranged the stage settings. (Beads and scarfs used were kindly loaned by Mos- teller and Moore, merchants in town.) The Art Club also conducts a Color Clinic for the benefit of students desiring to learn those colors they can best wear. The Club has a collection of about seventy various colored strips of materials, and Priscilla Garrett, who had charge of the Color Clinic, is ready to assist any student in the matter of finding becoming colors by trying out these different ones against her. THE HISTORY CLUB The History club is one of the newer organizations in High School: nevertheless it has made a name for itself. This year it is composed of about fifty enthusiastic History students from the Junior and the Senior classes. The officers are as follows: President. Robert Warnock. Jr.: Secretary. Edna Hall: and Chairman of Program Committee, Horace Darlington. We have enjoyed many instructive pro- grams throughout the year. The Novem- ber meeting was one of merriment for all those present. Two chapters from Bayard Taylor's “Story of Kennett” were given in pantomine-dialogue. namely, “Deb Smith Takes a Resolution” and “The Husking Frolic. Rustling fodder and golden corn were suggestive of the atmosphere. Mrs. Carey, of Kennett Square, address- ed the Club in January. She dealt thor- oughly with the subject. “The Relation of Bayard Taylor to Chester County His- tory.” illustrating her talk with relics and manuscripts of Taylor’s day. The Febru- ary meeting was held in chapel, during which time the club presented a scene from THE GARNET AND WHITE 05 John Drinkwater’s “Abraham Lincoln. The play was heartily appreciated by every member of the student body. The last meeting for this term was held in May and was very interesting indeed. Herbert P. Worth, a pleasing speaker, in- spired the members with a few facts con- cerning Chester County. Since this year has been a prosperous starter, we expect to accomplish many more things next year, for a History Club is indispensable to any up-to-date high school. Horace Darlington, ’25. THE CLASSICAL CLUB Last fall, while we were still under- going the first horrors of Vergil, we. the Roman citizens, met and elected a consul and a scriba. Many citizens declared their intentions of running for office (and were consequently asked why they wore white hankerchiefs around their arms) but Horace Darlington and Helen John were elected. At the same time we agreed to call the club the Aeneadae and chose as a motto, Nothing is won without hard work. Since then, we have had many delight- ful little plays. Among them were: Pyramus andThisbe. which was later revived in the Sock and Buskin Club, and Why we should learn Latin.” which was a story of how Latin comes in handy in France. At the last meeting we had our pictures taken and broke up for the year. SPANISH CLUB El Club Literario de Espana. the official name of the High School Spanish Club, has been very active during the past year. Under the direction of its officers: Robert Warnock. President: Clifford Butler. Vice- President: William Kelso, Secretary: and Elizabeth Courtney, treasurer, meetings have been held regularly every two weeks since the beginning of the school year. Programs have been of different types. They include a series of lectures on trips through South America, the singing of various Spanish songs, phonograph and instrumental music, talks on topics of the day relative to Spanish countries, and other equally interesting and instructive features. Attendance at the meetings has been very satisfactory, thus showing interest on the part of the whole department in its activities. The officers wish to thank those who have taken part in programs and the teachers who have aided the club. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club held its last meeting of the school year, May 12th. This club was organized October, 1923. and has been a very flourishing and worth- while organization. As its membership is composed of Alumni as well as Seniors and Juniors of the commercial department, it is neceSsary to hold its meetings in the evening. The main feature of all the meetings, which are held monthly, is a talk by some author- ity on certain phases of business life. The officers for 1924-1925 are as follows: President—Leland Gilmore, an alum- nus. Vice President-—George Smith, an alumnus. Recording Secretary—Elizabeth Whis- ler, an alumnus. Corresponding Secretary—Eleanor Hoff- man. an alumnus. Treasurer—-George McLear, 1924. Chairman of Program Committee— Elizabeth Broomall. 1925. Chairman of Social Committee—Frank Miller, 1925. THE GARNET AND WHITE Helen John, ’25 The Exchange Department of our mag- azine wishes to thank our friends who have so cheerfully sent us their magazines and especially those who have given us helpful criticisms. Some of these com- ments have been pleasing, while others, although not particularly favorable, have aided us greatly. We have received these exchanges and comments with deep apprec- iation, and we were much disappointed whenever upon examining our exchanges we found that we were not included in their lists. The purpose of an Exchange Depart- ment is two-fold: first, we learn how other schools are running their papers, and second, we receive an impetus to better our own. The features which are most suc- cessful in other papers (jive us new sug- gestions for our own. From the criticisms so sincerely offered we gain much profit. We all have a definite idea of what the ideal school paper should be, but often financial conditions prevent us from pub- lishing such a paper. Lack of space is the greatest handicap of all. Each year we try to take a step in advance. To give a specific example: up until last year one of the complaints of our friends was the very noticeable absence of cartoons from the pages of our magazine. Now a month scarcely passes that we do not have at least a page of cartoons, and our exchanges are congratulating us now on our clever car- toons. Thus we can see that much can be accomplished through the aid of con- structive criticisms. One of the reasons for the failure of criticisms to seem to make a deep impression is the difference in type between the schools commenting and those commented upon. What may be possible and appropriate for one school mav be decidedly the reverse for another. How- ever. there is nothing which can compare with real criticism when one wishes to know plain facts. The criticisms from one paper seldom clash with those from another. The Exchange Department wonders whether the student body really appreciates what other papers do for us. Undoubt- edly. some seldom look at this department: but there is no reason for this indifference. This section of a paper should be just as interesting as any other, indeed more so, since it holds up a mirror for us. Every reader should glance over this page even if only to see who the friends of his mag- azine are and what they think of it. If he is not particularly pleased with the com- ments, let him do his best to improve his paper. In this way every magazine could be improved greatly and thus mean much more to us. Again we thank our exchanges for their helpful suggestions and comments. We shall welcome them back next year and shall hope for continued pleasant relations.
