Our Alma Mater I he Garnet and White Staff—192 -1926 4 THE GARNET AND WHITE EDITORIAL With the completion of this number of The Garnet and White, the staff finds its work for the year brought to a close. We have tried in every way to make the various issues of The GARNET AND White during ihe past year the best pos- ible. We realize that our work has been far from a standard of excellence. We realize, too. that if it had not been for the combined efforts of many, other than those on our staff, the success of our work this year would have been small indeed compared to what it has been. The members of the staff have cooper- ated splendidly during the year and have always put forth their best efforts in the preparation of each number. We wish to thank those members of the student body who were not on the staff, but who con- tributed material to the various depart- ments. We desire to express our appreciation to our advertisers for the support they have given us by advertising in The GAR- NET AND WHITE. Without them our magazine could not possibly have been a success. We hope that they have profited hy their advertisements. Those who lent us their support by enlisting as subscribers have also been largely responsible for our success. We hope that they have enjoyed each number of The Garnet and White during the past year enough to continue as subscribers in the future. We of the staff are sorry to discontinue our work. It has always been a pleasure and a source of satisfaction to know that we were contributing to your enjoyment in compiling each publication. To those who will take our places we wish the greatest success. It is our sincere wish that they meet with the same splendid cooperation which we have enjoyed dur- ing this past year. Another school year has gone. For some of us it was the last year, while for others it was just another one of the three years in high school. Those who have spent their time in the school and who are leaving it now have learned many things from their experiences in high school. If they were to give you the most valuable advice from their experience it would probably be to enter whole-heartedly into every worthy activity of the. school. Next year there will be an opportunity for those of you who will return to show what you intend to make of your oppor- tunities in high school. Many activities will have lost some of their most staunch supporters, since many of the leaders in these activities have been Seniors. In deciding which activities you will support there are several things to be con- sidered in making a wise choice. We may say. however, that there is very little chance of your lending your support to any unworthy activity, since any activity which has no real worth soon slips out of existence. Perhaps the most important thing to be considered in determining just what ac- tivities to participate in is your studies. School is primarily for studies. If you have difficulty with your studies, then you should not take part in outside activities. Another important thing is to limit your activilies. In doing this you must take into consideration the relative bene- fits of each and the amount of service you are capable of rendering in each. Following this plan, you will find that you will have little difficulty with your school work and that you will get the greatest possible benefit from your high school career.

Joe says he doesn’t know what he would do without our school sports, but we say we don’t know what our school sports would do without Joe. Joe intends to take up the study of medicine in the future.

Louise expects to take the Health Education Course at Nor- mal School next year, but she is secretly hoping to be a doctor some day. We wish her the best of luck. THE GARNET AND WHITE 7 Samuel O.

Since his Freshman year, whenever an interesting program was desired. Sam was called upon to preside at the piano.

He is not only accomplished at music, but. in the Latin or French classes, when ever a difficult passage is reached, we turn to Sam” who translates this for us in a manner that shows us the beauty of the languages. Sam is continuing his career in music and we know that in a few years he will show to the world what we now know he is capable of.

He is always full of fun. and any group of which he is a member is sure to be a merry one. He is our Tennis Manager, but this work does not interfere with his studies, as his marks show. We have been unfortunate indeed in having James with us for only two years. Everyone is his friend, and one and all wish him the best of success at Temple University, where he will take up advanced work next year. Margaret May Boehmler General A heart as soft, a heart as kind. As in the whole world thou can’st find.” History Class Lieutenant. Ill: Music Club. IV; Dramatic Club. IV. Margy’’is one of those famous Malvernites. Although she is not very well known in High School, those who know her say that she is generous and kind-hearted and that she sees good in everyone.

She is one of the best stu- dents in our class and the most conscientious: but. nevertheless, she is always ready for fun. Margaret’s intentions as to her future are very definite ones, such as attending Goucher College, leaching English until pensioned, then buying a chicken ranch and settling down to the comfortable life of a maiden lady. We wish her all success in her first enterprise, but. as for the last—well, secretly we think that she would make a dandy housewife. Russell Cardwell Industrial Scientific A little mischief now and then Will do no harm to the best of men Rusty is the “ruler of the iron shop. He keeps so busy down there that he hasn't much time to enjoy some of the fun the rest of us do. Still he enjoys his work and will do great things we know. He keeps the place lively with his witty comments. He says now he has no plan for the future, but we ll hear of him as the iron “king” some day. Simeon B. Cheyney Commercial Speech is silver, but silence is golden. Simeon is one of those little fellows that go about their work quietly. He tackled a great big course, but has com- pleted it successfully. Simeon's favorite lesson is typewriting. Like the rest of us he has his noisy days. Simeon expects to enter business, after his graduation.

Conner , as he is known to most of us. has been a very faithful student of our High School all four years. He is se’dom without that old trusty smile of his that is good to drive away blues. Anyone that knows him will always find him a true and good frier.d. He treats everyone in the same way; perhaps that is why we all like him. Morris has held quite a number of offices and has proved worthy of them all. He has proved successful not only in sports, but also in scholastic acti- vities. Morris expects to take up theatrical work in West Chester next year, and the class of '26 wishes him all the success possib'e. Norman Hayes Conner Commercial ”Conscientiousness is but one of his many virtues.” Class Lieutenant English 111: Typewriting Certificate 111.

Valedictorian! Elizabeth is our one shining light! Just look at her list of activities, and you can see that she doesn’t spend all her time on her lessons, either. Elizabeth is one of the quietest girls in our class, but she is always willing to give you her opinion when you ask it. We know that she will have great success at Normal School and in whatever work she takes up. for Fame. Love and Fortune on her footsteps wait. Sara Elizabeth Cox ..

When we first entered High School four years ago, it seemed to us that we should never r'ach our goal, but we were wrong. The years have slipped by very quickly indeed, and at last we have accomplished our aim. The years we have spent in High School are really the basis of our lives—the foundation for our future. All of you are in some way responsible for this training, and you may be very sure that we thank you. During these years we have gained much knowledge, and it is now our duty to make the most of the opportunities which our Parents, the School Board, the Faculty, and our Friends have made pos- sible for us. Members of the Faculty, you have guided our minds in the right direction: you have encouraged us when we were discouraged; you have done your utmost to send us out from High School as good American citizens. To you we extend cur greetings. 30 THE GARNET AND WHITE Top left—Officers. Girls’ Athletic Association. Top center—Art Club. Top right—Officers. Boys' Athletic Association. Center left—Officers.

You have given us oppor- tunities to make men and women of our- selves. Many, many times you have sacrificed your own desires and pleasures so that we might have an education. Whenever our lessons were particularly hard and we were discouraged, you •en- couraged us. giving us new hope and in- spiration. You have help'd us through many a trying time and have always been ready and willing to sympathize. To you. dear Parents, we extend; a special greeting. Mere words cannot express our inmost thoughts. We can never hope to repay you by merely thanking you. But we shall show that the time we have spent in High School has not been wasted time, but a time in which we have laid the foundation of our future success. To- night we are very glad to let you know how grateful we are to you. and we hope that our future lives will bring nothing A (Slimpar 3ntn Pickles and ice-cream! Yes. they are all right in their places, providing they keep their respective positions and do not meet just before bed-time. But meet they did one night and. as a result, I had a night-mare, or shall I call it a wonderful golden dream, for I sensed no chills us- ually accompanying a night-mare. In this subconscious condition between sleep and wakefulness images flitted back and forth before my eyes and played with my memory. Suddenly a building appeared before me. It was large and substantially built and written over one of the main entrances was the inscription. “West Chester High School. Upon entering, to my surprise, I found myself unnoticed in a bewildered and motley crowd of Freshmen, ranging in age from twelve to sixteen years. Oh. yes. it seemed I was a Freshman, too. Trying to hide our confusion, timidity, and boredom, we scurried to and fro, peeping behind doors for the room num- bers, asking innumerable questions, blun- dering inYo unsympathetic Senior classes, and being, all in all, amusing “general nuisances. After incessanr standing up in chapel we became as much at home as the Sophomores, the Juniors and the Seniors. All this required the greater part of September. 1922. to accomplish. but joy and honor to you and to our Alma Mater. To you, members of the School Board and citizens, we owe a great debt which we can never pay. You have provided us with materials with which to pave the way toward success. You have helped us over financial difficulties. You have made possible this training preparatory for our life work. We greet you and we thank you. Now is the time for us to realize the great responsibility which is ours. We must make firm the foundations which we have laid. In order to do this we must include in our daily lives the highest ideals that will stand the strongest tests that life may require of us. We must “give to the world the best we have and the best will come back to us. So join with us whole-heartedly in these, our Commence- ment Exercises, for they are truly an im- portant and a joyous occasion. —Sara E. Cox. 1926. thr paat nf 1U26 Following in the footsteps of our pre- decessors. we held a class meeting and elected officers, our first President being Alfred Jacob. From the very beginning everyone noticed that that vital element “pep was missing in our class. T here was no brill- iancy or athletic ability shown during our Freshmen year, but we turned out to be one of those patient, plodding “person- ages which we cannot very well get along without. A marked characteristic, which we have retained throughout our High School career, was that of having little or no desire for parties. Nevertheless, with all these defects we entered willingly all the contests and showed the school that ice were just as necessary as the rest. After this, my mind became a blank— I guess I must have really slept for awhile. But, then—the pickles! Again I saw the same building and the same people. This time it was in September. 1923. Why were we there? Oh, yes. it was the be- ginning of our Sophomore year! One of the first things we did was to elect Joseph Clark as President, and then we shouldered the task of choosing class colors. A little excitement was caused when the boys decided they were tired of green, having seen and heard it through- out their Freshman year. True o their 32 THE CARNET AND WHITE Top left—Members.

So. in due time we were able to flaunt in chapel class pennants designed by Sara Cox. In October we surprised the school by having a Hallowe'en party, which was a complete success even if it was held in the gym. The jollity of the occasion was heightened by Mr. Oldhams presence. Into the task of bobbing for apples and trying to whistle with a mouth full of soda crackers he entered whole-heartedly just as he did his principalship. At that time we just peeped out of our shell and quickly retreated again to its secluded chambers. Toward the close of this year we were obliged to review our Sophomore year. No. I don't mean start all over again! But. if the ice cream wasn't causing me to have false illusions, this repetition was in the form of a required essay entitled ' My Sophomore Year in High School.” Nila Bates’ and William Kelso’s episodes pleased the judges most. Now, it seemed to be the spring of 1924. and a different face looked out over the assembly. It belonged to Mr. Hen- derson. a well-known teacher in the High School, who was taking the place of Mr. Oldham, who felt that he was needed elsewhere. Since becoming adjusted to the change, we have tried to help our new principal as much as possible, as we have learned to realize increasingly, as time has passed, that he is indeed worthy of that responsible position. In my dream the summer following that year disappeared like dew, and at last we were upper classmen hot on the trail” to- wards being Seniors. Most of our class- mates returned with a few inches added to their height, especially Edward Dicks and Walter Mitchell. The few girls with long tresses wore them up and were quite as dignified as Seniors. The new recruits to our ranks were James Biddison, Mar- jorie Dunn, and Henrietta Kaplan. In the Girls’ Speaking Contest. Paula Snyder tied with a Senior for second hon- ors, and we were proud of her for bring- ing our class into the limelight. If you have ever dreamed, you have experienced that feeling of something al- ways being indefinite. Well, that was exactly the way with me in this dream I'm telling you about. Repeatedly, a jargon of voices could be heard for almost four months, so it seemed. They ap- peared to be talking about some day. What day? The day for writing our Junior Essays, of course. With all this talking it came and passed so quickly that nothing disastrous had time to occur, and we again breathed easily. One of the few big things which we attempted was to give the Seniors a picnic on what turned out to be one of the hot- test days of the year. Everyone enjoyed himself: and most of all the committee. A curtain of gloom was drawn across our Junior year when Superintendent Jones died. We all missed his fatherly care over us, and we still hold his high achievements and the inspiration of his life fresh in our memories. His successor was Mr. Walter L. Phillips, who is suc- cessfully carrying on Mr. Jones’ work of caring for the public schools of West Chester. Then, strange as dreams sometimes arc. something caused me to feel a great re- sponsibility on my shoulders, and I knew that I had reached the cherished position of a Senior, as had about one hundred and ten of my classmates. Rah. Rah. Rah! I could hear so plainly the familiar old yell when the panorama of our glorious football, basket- ball and baseball season under the guid- ance of Coach Zimmerman flashed before my eyes. Such athletes as Chee Stan- cato, Happy Avil, a new-comer in our Senior year, Joe Clark. Clyde Yarnall, and many others will remain long in our mem- ories! Still plodding along, performing our duty as best as we can. we are nearing something. But. what is it? What can it be? An unsolvable mystery it seems! The alarm clock: daylight, roosters crow- ing—I am awake. Now. I know that Commencement is that something —a something we are all striving to reach. In reality these four years have seemed just like a dream—short, pleasant, ever- lingering. and destined to mold our future lives. May we often dream this dream to refresh our memories of good, old West Chester High School. —Dorothy Gee, 1926. 34 THE CARNET AND WHITE Echoes from Baby Day —Senior Class, 1926 THE GARNET AND WHITE 35 (£. ti. .

A Sit nf (Snaaip tui iSuil New York City June 30, 1951 Dearest Franny, I shall try to steal a few precious mo- ments in which to write you of the most astounding thing imaginable! Positively unbelievable! Speaking of coincidences —this is far more than a coincidence. But first—how in the world are you? 7 rV as I may, 1 simply can't visualize you in the role of a missionary—among all those perfectly horrible savages. I'd be purified! But only last week I was talk- ing wi h Bishop Dicks—it doesn’t seem possible that our happy-go-lucky Eddie” is now so dignified a personage as a bishop —well, he said that you are most success- ful in your work and that your utter fear- lessness and self-sacrificing devotion to your cause is most commendable. Con gratulations! And now to the astounding thing—for it really is. However. I'll begin at the beginning of my story, a logical place for all stories to begin. One day. about two weeks ago. as I was rummaging through my desk. 1 came upon an old snapshot of a bunch of us taken on Baby Day on the Senior Steps. I can't believe that it was twenty-five years ago. For me. the years hav- simply flown, and I don't feel a bit older today than I did the day I graduated. However, as I sat meditating upon old times. and wondering what had become of a'l our classmates, as if in answer to my thoughts, the postman dropped a lot ter in the box—a letter from Burgess Ranck of West Chester. O. yes. 36 THE GARNET AND WHITE Top middle—Mr. Hart leading the Band “on the green. Center left—Officers. Sophomore Class. Center middle—Sheller pitching a puzzler.

The garnet and white 37 I suppose you didn’t know that, but ‘ Liz” is quite the efficient burgess, and West Chester is prospering and growing marvelously under her iron-rule. She recently inaugurated a great building boom and in the last two years there have actu- ally been built—three houses. That’s pretty good for West Chester, isn’t it? But to return to the note: it was quite short, simply inviting me to West Chester for the week-end, and I. nothing loath, accepted. So the following Friday even- ing found me in my old home-town.” Of course, everything was quite changed, and. after dining at the Green Tree Inn,” now run by Sara Cox. who says she found her experience in the lunchroom at High School quite invaluable, we went to the ‘ movies,’’ by way of amusement. It was the same old Rialto, but just at present newly-painted and decorated (by Dorothy Gee. by the way) and with Morris Conner as owner and manager, if you please. Morris’ rise has been quite phenomenal, indeed. However, his one difficulty is in evading determined young ladies, for, despite the fact that Morris was a ladies’ man” in High School (as you know), he has remained invulnerable to Cupid's arrows, and so is pursued by young and old alike. I was delighted to find that that wheezy old piano had been removed and that a splendid pipe-organ has replaced it with Sam Barber as or- ganist. Really, I must confess, I never expected to see him succeed so well: needless to say, he plays marvelously, and his home town is justly proud of him. Burgess Ranck told me that he is con- stantly flooded with splendid offers of positions and that just recently he had received two very tempting offers which he was considering seriously—one from Malvern, the other from Marshallton. Since everyone was quite a stranger to me, I was rather glad when the picture began. I settled back comfortably in my seat (yes, the seats are comfortable now) and prepared to enjoy the Pathe News. And then—I read this, Marshall Jones, No- torious Bandit, is Captured After Severe Struggle in Which Fourteen Are Killed.” Were my eyes deceiving me? Surely this wasn't the Marshall Jones of High School days! But yes. there was little Marshall, quite battered, but vicious-looking, be- tween two burly policemen. Did you ever hear of such a thing? However, that wasn't all by any means. I never, never suspected that the Class of '26 would attain such fame and notoriety. The next caption which flashed before my astonished eyes was “Famous Beauty Specialist Sails for ‘Gay Paree’ to Learn New Beauty Secrets,” and there stood Acenith Townsend, pretty as ever, waving goodbye to her admirers from the deck of the Leviathan. This was followed shortly by American Ambassador to England Interviews the Press.” Seated at the head of a massive table, quite austere and dignified, his nose-glasses attached to a black ribbon, a top hat in his hands, and surrounded by eager reporters (among whom I recognized “Bill” Kelso) was none other than—Frank Stancato. Im- agine it, if you can! Chee” Stancato as a dignified ambassador! Well, really, I wasn't astonished at anything after that. But surprise followed so closely upon surprise that I cannot go into details. Next was Well-Known Trapeze Artist Visits New York,” showing a picture of Margaret Sorber hanging by her toes to a slender rope high above Broadway. Then came “John Green. Famous Dram- atic Actor, Rests at Country Home.” I never thought. Franny,” that Johnny” Green of all people would become a trag- edian, but, from all that I’ve heard, he is exceedingly good, especially as the mel- ancholy Hamlet. I really must get to see him. And who would have thought that ‘ Pris” Garrett would become a circus rider and Charlie” Zook a lion-tamer? You won’t believe me, I'm sure, when I tell you I saw their pictures among a group of Barnum and Bailey circus stars. How- ever. I could scarcely believe my eyes when I read London Pays Tribute to Popular American Toe-Dancer,” and saw a picture of Louise Ballou, smiling and happy, simply covered with gorgeous bouquets, and when I saw U. S. Senator. James Biddison of Pennsylvania, Tells School Children How He Won Success in the Political World.” as well as Renowned Dancing-Master. Clyde Yarnall, Visits Scene of His Childhood Days.” No less surprising was President Marion Myers, of Bryn Mawr College, Returns From Schoolmen’s Conference,” as well as Famous Hat-Store King. Walter Mit- chell, Discusses the Political Situation With Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court. Paula Snyder.” And last, but not least, I saw American Divorcee, LaRue Hunt- ington Davidson Macllvane Harrington 38 THE GARNET AND WHITE fT'5 nor uimu ii I | HE WAi MIS MDTMI h DRESSES H� n wwts wnonc will.

However, as I was marveling over th.se things, I became conscious of one of the ushers, a particularly sad-looking per- son. whose face seemed, nevertheless, fam- iliar. Upon inquiry. I found it to be William Snyder. Elizabeth told me that his was a sad story, for he had early been disappointed in love. Some whisper that it was Ruth Sexton, while others say it was Marjory Dunn. However, the shock was too great for him, and he promptly lost all ambition for higher things. I know this must be a shock to you. Fran- ny. for you were always such good friends. Perhaps a letter from you will cheer him up. Just then the comedy flashed on—“ ‘For the Sake of a Sap,’ a Rollicking Comedy, starring Gilbert Passmore, supported by. — (oh, it couldn't be!) Elizabeth Court- ney and Margaret Brinton. Just think of it! Our once dignified valedictorian and the equally dignified Margaret! But it was true, and it was the funniest com- edy Eve seen for many a day. When the comedy was over, I was startled to see the lights brighten. Eliza- beth assured me that this was nothing un- usual—there was simply to be an inter- mission before the final picture. Then 1 heard a familiar voice—yes, Donald Avil’s. The Burgess told me that he now sings regularly at the Rialto, although he had a very difficult time to obtain such a much-desired position, for there were many aspirants. His greatest ambition, however, is to obtain a Saturday night appearance at the Grand Opera House, and toward that worthy goal he is working conscientiously. The last picture was a photo-p'.ay starring Jean Troutman and John White. I had no idea that either possessed particular dramatic talent, but 1 found that both were very good. Johnny” is indeed a worthy successor to Rudolph Valentino, while as a Vamp” Jean is unsurpassed. Well, that is the end of my astounding evening, Franny.” I'm Certainly glad, however, to have known, at one time, such illustrious people, aren't you? But I've no more time now. and I'm sure you must be too astonished to comprehend any more; so give my love to your savages and tell them to be good. Yours, Nila. —Nila Batfs. 1926. (Claaa 30ill of 192li We, the Class of 1926, have lately been informed that on the tenth day of June, in the year one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six. we shall depart from the world of West Chester High School. For four long years we have dreaded the day when this would happen, but, knowing as we do. that we are powerless in the hands of Fate and that there must be an end to all good things, we have resolved to accept our fate. In view of these facts we feel that certain possersions which we have should be bestowed upon those most worthy of them. Therefore, we. the Class of 1926, of West Chester High School, do make and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. To wit: I. We bequeath to the Class of 1927 the supreme and undisput d privilege of using the Senior steps. We advise them to .ale extreme precautions while per- forming all stunts on these steps, and we hope they will continue to use them with the dignity with which we have always used them. II. We bequeath to the Class of 1927 the exclusive right to occupy as attendance rooms Bl, BY and B4. and to torment the teachers therein. III. We bequeath to the Class of 1 927 the distinctive honor of obsrving Baby Day . We warn the girls not to get their lollypops tangled in their curls and the boys not to try to look natural in their piccadilly collars. We sincerely hope that there will be fewer fights among the dolls and the teddv-bears than there were on recent Baby Day . IV. We bequeath to the Class of 1927 the pleasure of forming an acquaintance with Mr. Burke. We sincerely hope that they will enjoy the gentleman’s inspiring company fully as much as we did. V. We bequeath to certain worthy 40 THE GARNET AND WHITE THE GARNET AND WHITE 41 members of the Class of 1927 the honor of being hall monitors. We warn them lhat they will be unable to leave their classrooms earlier than usual, however. VI. We bequeath to the members of the school as a whole our well-known privilege of going to the Library without slips. Miss Evans hates to be bothered with slips and will appreciate your going without them. VII. We bequeath to the school our continued love, honor, and respect which we have always given in the past. We hope that our existence as a class in the school has, in some small measure, raised the standards of the school. If so, our four years spent in it will not have been in vain. There are certain members of our class who wish to bequeath their individual traits and talents to their successors. They wish to make the following bequests. To wit: Walter Mitchell bequeaths to some husky member of the Class of 1927 his place as Chief of Police.” Walter hopes that he has set no bad examples for his successor during the past year. Jim Biddison bequeaths his famous laugh to Peter Lapp with the hope that he will uphold its merits. Along with this bequest goes the power to disrupt any orderly and quiet assemblage. Chce Stancato bequeaths his inher- ited position as clown of the Senior Class to Smed Taylor. Johnny Green bequeaths to Eddie Walter his Baby Day” outfit with the suggestion that he have it slightly alt;red as to size. Marge Dunn bequeaths to Elizabeth Baldwin her ability to warble. She does not bequeath Ebenezer to anyone. Paula Snyder bequeaths her position as Senior Class orator to anyone who can fill that position adequately. Hap Avil bequeaths his many talents to the best man. Betty Palmer bequeaths her classroom whisper to Teeny Pye. We. the Class of 1926, do draw this, our last will and testament, this month o June, 1926. Class of 1 926 (Seal) William .1 Kelso, Pres.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 43 Ualrbtrtimj (Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1926, June 10, 1926) Dear classmates, dear Faculty, and hon- ored members of the Board of Education, we have assembled to say farewell: we have come to the closing scene: we now commence our lives in a broader field. To each who has sacrificed and labored in our behalf, whether in the school or in the home, to each who has contributed a part in making it possible for us, the Class of 1926. to be here tonight, we wish to ex- press our appreciation of your efforts. Our sincere thanks can be but a partial payment toward the great debt of gratitude we owe you. In the further discharge of this great debt we can conceive of no finer cur- rency than a noble life. May we fare well upon this journey of a noble life! Let each of us utilize to the fullest that great possession of the human race, that subtle quality which is incomparably the greatest thing upon the earth that we know anything about, the power of intelligent reasoning. Let us cast aside the low, worn-out ideas, ideals, and low standards of life that the pages of history have shown to be as muck and quicksand for the feet of the human race. Yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well-lived makes every yesterday A dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope.” Let us paint a picture of the qualities which we shall need in order to live so that our Alma Mater, our parents, the school board, and the taxpayers will be proud to have had a hand in moulding our lives. It is fitting for us to begin with education. Education signifies trained thinking. Let us. as educated persons, read widely and judiciously, think deeply, and not be led astray by the clamor of the heedless pack. We must endeavor to see things whole, and, above all, we must keep in mind that- evil thoughts are not the product of genuine education. If we always hold a clear conception of clear principles and right living before our minds we shall indeed fare well upon our quest of nobility in life. “Count that day lost whose low descending sun Views from thy hand no worthy action done. Bigotry should have no place in this picture, but tolerance should occupy a dis- tinguished position in it. May we live and let live. May we crucify not the one whose ideas and ideals may not be fully understood, lest we destroy some con- structive genius, struggling to present a light to guide humanity to some better state. Mutual love is the foundation of any great and noble life. Mankind in general if endowed with this quality, would not wage war. would not steal, would not oppress humanity. Let us. then, acquire by diligence and practice this desirable quality. Enlightenment will lead us to rise above greed (that root of all evil), fears, in- stincts, rivalries, and narrow affections to see that the human race forms a universal brotherhood and struggles to mould a common destiny upon this planet in which each of us plays some part. He who builds wisely and well may. indeed, never die. for centuries later cities, rivers, mountains, and children may bear his name. The cost of folly is always a price one cannot afford to pay. That serenity, that poise, that peace that passeth understanding comes to each of us who moulds his life according to the principles that we think necessary for a noble life. To us, who have had the advantages and the training which a high school education gives, it should not be so hard to acquire these qualities permanently. To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou const not then be false to any man. Farewell, classmates, our four years of association have ended: we must transfer our endeavors to another field, a field in the great school of life. May our Alma Mater be as a well of living water, a spring of pure, lasting joy that will ever refresh us as we journey onward and upward. —Elizabeth Talley Courtney, 1926 44 THE CARNET AND WHITE Above—W.

But lots of time has passed since then; The years, as they rolled by, Have brought us recognition— All sing our praises high. Our boys and girls both shine in sports: They help make High School’s score, Harmon, Fox, and Wickersham, McCowan, Green, and more. Neither can we skip the girls, The Reagans, Reeder, Mood, Tapper, Murdaugh, Walter, too— They make the girls’ sports good. Juniors, too, have made their mark In many other ways; We’ve been proud of our Class On Speaking Contest days. Dot” Burdette got second prize, And all of them did well. And now on Spelling Contest day, Just watch our Juniors spell! And in the Operetta “Virginia” and “William Bean” Riggs,” and half the chorus Were wearers of the green. All our thrilling Orations Showed genius once more, And in clubs and organizations We have peppy members galore. So you can see just what we are, Juniors of W. C.: The leading Class in High School We've been and will always be. —Edna Pusey, ’27.

Miss Jackson—“Give the principal parts of ‘skato’.” Letitia Murdaugh—“Skato, slipperc, falli, bumpus.” Dolores Durnall—“Are you going to the fair?” Ethel Garrett—“What fair?” Dolores Durnall— The paper says, fair here today and tomorrow.” Bill Kibbey— Do you sleep with your windows open?” Willard Lapp— Naw.just my mouth.” WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— The Pusey twins didn't study. Adele Musante didn't have her laugh. Dot” Burdette couldn't draw. Tiny Pye became serious. Gerald McCowan had his work done. David Huey couldn't think up excuses. Reds” Groff couldn’t think of any more “wise-cracks.” George Jackson lost his blushes. Elizabeth Baldwin couldn't sing. Mildred Tapper wouldn't support in school matters. There was no one for everyone to talk about. ? ? ? ?

The rain poured down in torrents, and great gusts of wind shook even the mighty oaks. The hail fell in rapid spatters on flagsione walks and tin roofs. Far above, the lightning fairy played a flashing game of tag with her big brother Thor, the God of Thunder. Suddenly the clouds had passed, and, for a brief second before it went to bed. the sun peaked out. All the world was gay and sparkling, and those who before had been so languid were re- freshed by the merry little breeze which came so softly to them, and were vigor- ous and happy for their tasks.

Some will go to camps, as either councilors or campers, others to the shore, and still others will seek out new places of travel. The most important group, however, is in the majority—those who will secure some kind of work for the sum- mer months, be it here or away. But for all of us it will be a change, and all of us. if we but try, can make it so fruitful that we shall thoroughly enjoy our summer. Let us forget about lessons and all those things which have been on our minds for the last few months. Let us get out into the open air and enjoy ourselves— swim and hike, play tennis and ride, and thus build up our minds and bodies for another year of studying. —Jane Carter, '28.

When we get to be Seniors, The laws we’ll change. I'll say. We ll go to school but once a week And observe every holiday. We’ll shun all the poetry, And every bit of prose, And give the girls an hour each day To powder face and nose. I say we’ll do a lot of things And not start school till May, And stop on the twenty-ninth of June: We ll have lots of time to play. But there is no use in dreaming, 'Cause every dog has his day: And before you forget, remember. We ll all be Seniors some day. HAVE YOU HEARD ANY— Hope to kiss a pig! I’ll tell the world! Go fish!

Till the day is done; Scholars count the minutes, Count them one by one. Pupils day dream always, Watch the sun so bright, Thinking of the pleasures Of old Friday night. Finally the bell rings; Students outward fly; But of all the scholars, None so fleet as I.

Byers—“A kiss is a noun, though usually used as a conjunction. It is never declined and is more common than proper. It is not very singular, but generally used in the plural. It agrees with most of us.”— Ex.

'28 Schramm, '28 ART DEPARTMENT Activities which the Art Department has entered this year, 1925-1926. The Art Club has entered three Poster Contests during the past year. Two of these contests were National, one con- ducted by the National Humane Society, the other by the National Safety Council. More than 2000 students from all parts of the U. S. contributed to each of these contests. In the latter Marguerite Norman won an honorable mention. This is the second time Marguerite has won such rec- ognition in a National Poster Contest. The third contest conducted by the Penn- sylvania State Welfare Assn., was an Em- blem contest. The elective art students contributed to the Art Contest, which each year is a part of the Play Festival Activities, and won first prize. This is the sixth consec- utive time that our Art Dept, has won a prize in this Contest receiving second prize for two years, and first for four successive years. The work is usually judged by Dr. Kirby, the State Art Direc- tor. We were pleased to cooperate with the Music Dept, on two separate occasions, first in planning the decorations for the Christmas program, and later, in working with the Manual Training Dept, in the construction and decoration of stage scenery for the Operetta. For the past year we have been cooper- ating with the English Dept, and THE Garnet and White staff in the matter of contributing cartoons for various issues of the school paper. George Woodward, who is a member of the Art Club, has designed most of the Athletic Insignias for the various teams of the Physical Training Dept, this year. The designs for the 10th year class banner and pennants were designed by the students in the 10th year Commercial Art Classes. The one which was chosen by that class was planned by Lillian Kodish. George Woodward, also a member of the class, took charge of the accurate draughts- manship of the design for the manufac- turer. For the past several months George Woodward has been working on a special problem. He has planned a cottage from cellar to attic, showing layouts of all floors, as well as four exterior elevations. In connection with his class instruction, he has consulted several architects and builders in town, regarding conventions. 60 THE GARNET AND WHITE arrangements and details. A problem of this kind is of great practical value, as we all live in houses, no matter what our occupations may be. and it is a good thing to know something about the construction of design of such buildings. The Art Dept, is always anxious to work with other departments—whenever the principles of good taste are involved, because it is in this way, in matters of everyday use, that we are raising the stand- ards of appreciation of good design. We also feel it is our duty to seize every op- portunity. to make Art function in our everyday life, whether at school, in the home, or in the community. EXCHANGE Elizabeth Courtney, '26, Editor As this is cur last issue of the GARNET AND White for 1926. it is fitting that the Exchange column should offer a few words of gratitude and appreciation to all of those schools which have helped make this column a success by exchanging papers and commen s with us. The Exchange column of a school mag- azine should be considered of vital im- portance by every member in the school, because it is through this department that we learn how other schools regard our paper, and we thus see ourselves as others see us. We have not always used the criticisms offered for bettering our paper for many reasons—primarily, the lack of funds and of space. Then too. of course, schools, just as individuals, differ in their tastes. For instance, cur literary department pleases one school: another comments on its smallness. One school may say that our sports column is very fine, and another criticizes it as being too large. So, there- fore. it is impossible to get out a magazine which pleases everyone, but. nevertheless, we are glad to receive every comment. We feel that there is a tendency in writ- ing criticisms to comment upon others as others have commentrd upon us which destroys the value of the criticism. It seems as though we think that, if some school has criticized us favorably, it is only courteous and proper for us to do the same for them. But this is not wise: if we use this method with our exchanges, the department loses its true value and be- comes a worthless factor of the school magazine. This does not mean that we are to be discourteous in our comments, but just candid. Neither does it mean that we are to tear apart some paper or magazine with unfavorable criticisms. It simply means that we are to be truthful in our criticism of others, commenting in a kindly, constructive manner that may per- haps aid them in bettering their school magazine. We feel that the Exchange Department is a most important one and that its value for promoting pleasant intercourse and kindly relationships among the schools of the United States cannot be overestimated. The Garnet AND White receives ex- changes from all parts of our nation, from Massachusetts, Maine, Utah, Michigan, Kansas, and indeed almost every state in the Union. This takes in a great deal of territory, but we should like to see it in- crease even more next year. We shall not meet again this year, but we shall be looking forward expectantly to your arrival next fall. We wish you the best of success in every phase of your magazine or paper, Friend Exchanges. —Elizabeth T. Courtney, 1926.
