The Garnet and White Staff—1926-27 4 THE GARNET AND WHITE Up in Montreal. Canada, there is a beautiful, white, broad highway, known as the “Highway of Remembrance”. For two miles along each side of this road at every fifteen feet is planted a maple tree, protected by a fence, on which is written on a plate the name of a soldier who gave his life in the late war. with the date and the name of the battle in which he fell. A wonderful thing, this High- way of Remembrance”! And how ap- propriate the name. That war is over now and. generally speaking, the world is at peace. But. as we tjhink about it more and more, do we not feel that we. too. are building a High- way of Remembrance .'’ Each one of us is such a bulider. The things we say and the deeds we do are the maple trees being planted along our broad roadway. May they be of the best and have long life. The Class of '27 has about completed its highway in the W. C. H. S. Now each member of that illustrious group is going on in life—some to higher schools, others into positions in the business world. No matter where, they are continuing their highways, and. with the beginning already made, they will be inspired to make the last part as broad and as fine as the first part has been. None the less are the other classes build- ing highways. It is to them that we now turn over the implements for planting their trees as far as High School is concerned. It is up to them now to carry on the work of the various clubs, and to make up the athletic and other scholastic teams. It is for them to “see that worthy support is given by each member of the school to any- thing which his Alma Mater undertakes. It is for them to “hold high the torch we throw them. Before they begin the continuance of this work, however, there comes a short period of two months of vacation. Every- one of us is concerned about this question, What shall I do this summer? What we all need is a change of envir- onment and of work. For nine or ten months we have been laboring with school studies. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to do something other than lessons during the summer vacation—that is. unless we are among the unfortunates who must attend summer school for some reason or other. We need the change for our physical, mental, moral, and spiritual well-being. Everybody does. We are human beings, not mechanical machinery, and as such we require variety, the spice of life. . . . Some of us are planning to go to camps. A splendid thing! Others perhaps, will work to help defray expenses which the coming year will bring. This is a good idea, too. and. since it is a dif- ferent from what the student has been do- ing all term, will be almost as beneficial as the camps, as far as the change is con- cerned. The same age-worn illustration still holds good. The boy from the country would have a wonderful time in the rush and whirl and noise of the city: while the city boy would have just as en- joyable a time in the country during his vacation. Why? Because it is different for each person. The change is the thing. Our word to you. fellow students, is simply this: Regardless of what you do this summer, seek a change. If we keep working at the same thing day in and day out. month after month and year after year, without a change in surroundings and actions, we shall, to use the slang ex- pression. go stale . What we try to do will fail. Our work will not be done right. Above all we shall be the losers in the end. We owe it to ourselves and to our school or business to return next year with renewed vigor, fresh and keen, ready to carry on to victory. A person who has gone stale is more of a hindrance than a help to humanity. This kind of person cannot be successful as a builder of a beautiful, broad, white Highway of Remembrance”. Which kind shall we be.? May the sturdy maples already planted inspire us to continue the planting. May we always leave behind us a Highway of Remembrance that will be a credit to us and to our Alma Mater. THE GARNET AND WHITE 5 Class Officers SAMUEL J.

Talk of your good friends’ “Edie” is one of the best—and the advice she gives to you shows that she knows her ’'stuff. Two things set her ofi : her famous saying— Don’t you think I am getting thin, girl? and the roar of her Willys-Knight. These, however, will aid her at Peirce’s Business School next year.

Gathered some youths and some maidens Snubbed by the Seniors and Freshies. Yes, we were Freshies back in those ancient days of September. 1923. We were just as green as any other Freshman class, just doing the same things. You know what they were. It was an ex- perience that comes in a lifetime. So “Eddie Walter thought as he walked boldly up the Senior steps. One day Miss Jackson sent out a notice that all Freshmen were to meet in the Gym. We felt very important as we filed into that spacious room. We proceeded to elect Joseph Clark to be our first pres- ident. Our colors were green and white. Elizabeth Baldwin said that she believed the upper classmen were never going to let us forget that we were green. When the worst of our greenness had worn off. we got together at a most won- derful gathering—the first Freshman 38 THE CARNET AND WHITE Hallowe'en party ever held in the evening. Proud? Well, indeed we were, for the likes of that party could never be equalled. That was the time when shy little Willard Lapp sat on the bleechers and wondered why and how people had fun at school parties. The Joseph S. Evans Contest! What in the world is that? Why. the Girls' Speaking Contest to be sure. Three of our wor.hy orators held up the glory of our class in this event; while the rest of us were made the targets of a good laugh by the upper-classmen because we fell fiat on the cheering. You see we were going to shock the world at large by putting over a new yell. Nothing especially exciting happened in our Sophomore year. Since we had passed the Freshman stage, we took delight in poking fun in their direction. Our spirits were saddened, during that year, by the death of our beloved superintendent. Addison L. Jones, For two long years we had climbed the ladder of progress until at last we were standing on the middle round—the begin- ning of ihe Junior year. This was per- haps the biggest year of the four. It was Just crowded with interesting events . To start the ball rolling Dorothy Bur- dette pulled down honorable mention in the Girls’ Speaking Contest. The Junior Oratorical Con:est—the first ever held in the school's history—gave an excellent display of talent in both composition and oratory. Edna Pusey and Mildred Tap- per won the honors. One more contest came to make us clear the cobwebs from our already extremely overworked brains. It was in the form of a newspaper article contest in which Edna Pusey again was most successful. I he Junior-Senior picnic! What plans we made for that great day—but alas, in vain! With perishable food already pre- pared. so that we couldn't possibly post- pone it. the day came forth in dark man- tles of rain clouds, breaking into rain by the time the trolley whistle gave the all- aboard call. Not even rain could damp- en our spirits, however, and we tried to chase over the new scenic and dodge the rain-drops as we went. Finally came the ‘finals to put the finishing touch on the whole year. How we did cram! It was rumored that I ubby Rigg's head grew so much in the week preceding that awful ordeal that she was obliged to buy all new hats. However, that wasn't the worst. Alice Reeder's brain worked so fast that it got hot. and she was forced to part with her beautiful locks in order to cool it off. Ray, Seniors! Seniors! At last we had reached the height of our dignity. Our presence was now able to grace those high and mighty rooms, Bl. B3, and B4. Along with this honor, though, came the horror of Burke tests and the difficult play. Macbeth . Just a minute! We can't criticize Macbeth , because it was the cause of one of our happiest Senior functions. Just imagine! We traveled all the way to an- other state to see it played. It made a lasting impression on all of us. What fun we had on the bus that night! Bill Meredith thought he had enough life- savers for everybody, but he was sadly mistaken, because we ate them by the pack. In fact, one of the girls was out of school for the next two days. So far we have not mentioned our athletes. That wasn't because we lacked them, but rather because we wanted to keep them until near the end. Harmon, Woolard, Parker, Lapp, and Smith were always outstanding in the boys’ sports; while our girls. Tapper, Reeder, Mur- daugh. Speakman, and the Reagans have efficiently helped to bring the girls' sports up to their present standard. Certainly we look to them with admiration. October came with its brown leaves and pumpkins. The time of witches, to be sure, and Miss Hoffmeier made a most perfect one at the Hallowe'en Party which the facutly gave to our class. Miss Swad- ener and Mr. Prutzman probably didn't know before that they so much resembled each other, but they surely did pull one over on us. Most of us can never forget that night with Mr. Hart as a red devil, chasing us with his great and terrible pitch- fork. Thus begins our class history, but in writing we must stop here because the best part of our Senior year is to come. However, if we have sufficiently interested you in the life of Twenty-seven to make you want to learn more about us. we rec- ommend that as you pass the official door- keeper, Saint Peter, you pause for a mom- ent and have him finish this work which we have bravely begun.

Gazing all around with awe: Little Freshies, green and gay. Beginning to work for High School that day. Trouble came at once, of course, The Seniors laughed till they were hoarse To see us stumbling up the aisle. With big. pop eyes and ne'er a smile, We gained our seats, 'mid much applause, For as you know from wise old saws They recognized true worth at sight. And there first flamed our class's light. Our class made its first good mark, By chosing as President, Joseph Clark. Our Hallowe'en Party, held at night. Was to all of us a great delight, And just for us the Soph affair Was pos poned a week—they longed to swear! The D. W. Meredith and J. S. Evans Were full of eloquent Twenty-sevens. We won no prizes, grand and great. But we were learning—we could wait. We knew that Fate can't always smile: Our efforts then made the future worth while. Among the athletes of our class, Harmon scorched the gridiron grass: With long end runs and passes neat. He made many a victory from defeat. After Mr. Oldham had departed. We indeed felt down-hearted. But when Mr. Henderson came along We backed him 100 c ( strong. A few months more and we became Sophs—with “Promoted after our name. Little Sophomores, smart and gay. Helping their High School every day. Soph chores now ours to bear, Name of Sophomore now to wear. With a President chosen once again We started out ably led—and then We chose the design of our pennant bright. And all of us cheered for the green and white. So we worked on to the end of the year. Keeping up the standards of our school so dear: Then once again the “Promoted report. And our time in High School was getting short. Jolly Juniors, busy and gay. Showing our worth in work and in playth. We gave our class a chance to cheer, For we all worked in speaking contests that year. And Dot Burdette won second prize— Her “Admiral's Ghost” made our hair rise. Then one fine, warm, spring day, Our orations did the audience sway. Though it was indeed quite a close race, Edna Pusey won first place. Next the Operetta came along, With '27 going strong. Eddie. Libby, Lawrence Shank— They are the ones we have to thank For making it a grand success. And our chorus members sang the best. When it came to the extemporaneous speech, Mildred Tapper showed that she was a peach. Though she didn't win, we were mighty proud To name her in '27's illustrious crowd. Where would our sports have been in the world. If it hadn’t been for our boys and girls? Where, oh, where, would the girls’ team have been Without each peppy Reagan twin? And there were others just as good. Murdaugh. Tapper, and Mil Mood. In June for the Seniors a picnic fine We fixed along the Brandywine. The faculty helped concoct the punch. Which added to the tasty lunch A most cultured and refined touch; Marguerite and Virginia got tipsy drink- ing too much. Then the Seniors left us with the crowd Of under classmen—Weren't we proud? Seniors our goal, and Seniors we were: We had gained the thing we were striving for. Grave old Seniors, worried and gray. Leading the school in a worthy way, Foot ball came, and we started out fine, With Frank, “Eddie” and Jerry on the football line.

With book reports and lessons dear We welcomed in the glad New Year, And so the year, passed gaily on: l.o and behold, 'twas almost gone. Then by whispers we began to hear We were reminded of our Junior Year. Of the terrible essays we had to write. Over which we slaved for many a night.

I was just about to realize my great desire to travel, when, upon reaching New York, all my arrangements had to be post- poned for a few days. However, every- thing happens for the best, and this was no exception to the “good old rule”. While I was in this great metropolis, greater things happened. It dawned upon me that people from all over the country were continually going and coming through the New York Central Railroad Station. Since I was waylaid, I thought it a good plan to visit this station a few times and watch the people. First of all I went to one of the hotels to secure lodgings”.

While we were talking, the greatest novelist and literary critic of the age, Mary Pyle, entered. She told us of several new books which had just been published, among them. How to Choose Your Life Companion , by J. Conner: Meccas in the World ' and “Where and How to Travel , by Pusey and Pusey. As Mary had to leave us, we turned to see an old lady approaching with a younger com- panion. Ruth Sexton! Imagine Ruth as an old maid's companion! And quiet? Terribly so! How she has changed! Ruth told us that she had just returned from the West where Ethel Lawton has bought a large ranch on which she employs only girls. Frances Willard, Hazel Anderson. Gladys Cox. and Mary Voltz are a few of the cow-punchers. Since they have always been man-haters, more or less, this move seems only natural. Ruth had also seen Bert Barnard in Arizona He. you know, is the world-famous desert horticulturist. Desiring to see something of the New York Central Station. I called a taxi the next day to take me there. Who should the driver be but—Valeria Sellers. She said she first had this desire when she drove her little Ford coupe to and from school. She said. too. that she rather likes her pro- fession because she comes to know the inside information in so many cases. She told me of the narrow escapes in love- rangles” which the latest Broadway vam- pire. Betty Marsh, has had. She knew about the Reagan twins' having invented a shoe with a heel that would not come off, used especially in their dancing acts. She also knew that Roger Hoopes, who has always ha'.ed anything that crawls, has become a snake charmer in a traveling circus. He attributes his change to the use of a Magic Potion which comes in a bottle and which is exactly like that used by the beautiful Countess Heloise. By this time we had reached the station, and we parted, the better for having seen each other again. Once in the station whom should I see but Dorothy Burdette, who has made a name for herself in the dramatic world. She was on her way to see “Nez” and Hen”—or should I say the Smiths?—who are living in the most fashionable part of the big city. She told me that they have the sweetest twins, a boy and a girl, named Henry and Inez. Dot had to hurry to catch a bus, but, just as she left, another Dorothy appeared on the scene. This was the Hay girl go- ing on another one of her animal crusades into the heart of Africa in her Ford. She has earned for herself the title of The Bravest Huntress in the World ”, especially when it comes to lions and elephants. I also saw Elizabeth Baldwin and Adele Musante, when they reached the home shores again. Libby has been studying music in France where she once met 'Bill” Patterson in the role of a gigolo man. Del had been studying in Italy. Both are destined to become members of the Metropolitan Opera Company within a short time. They had both seen Edna Greeley in her travels in Europe. She seemed to prefer the Parisian stage above all others. Before leaving the station. I met Flora Benge and Marguerite Norman, who are bent on missionary journeys. Flora with her knowledge of nursing is going to be of service to the people of India. Marguerite intends to charm the Africans with her brush. Because I had a great deal of time and nothing to do, I thought I’d walk back to the hotel. One of the first signs to catch my eye was Clark and Clark, the Farmer Kings : they have established themselves most successfully in the inter- ests of the farmer. The firm employs so many people that they have to keep an efficiency expert on hand all the time— none other than Howard Heed! It is also interesting to know that the blonde and brunette private secretaries are Mildred Heald and Doris Dock. No wonder the firm is so successful! Another sign— Beauty Shoppe—Mme. Rigg . Well, if it isn’t our old friend Tubbie. And what a business she has! Libby Moore. Ruth Lincoln, and Anna Moore are among her steady customers for marcels. All are teaching school in New York. Tubbie says that from hearing them talk she has learned more about children than some mothers know. Mil Mood is another steady. But Mil comes to learn how T ubbie reduced from 300 to 140 pounds. Mil is so afraid of getting fat! And she is, too. You just should see her—200 already! Of all things—what do you suppose has happened? Virginia MacNamee gave up all hopes of ever becoming a teacher and THE GARNET AND WHITE 45 Echoes from Baby Day —Senior Class. 1927 46 THE CARNEI' AND WHITE established a day nursery for society women with children. Nez” often leaves the twins with her. She has some of the nicest children under her care! Give it up? Never! ' says she emphati- cally. Back at the hotel Wilbur told me of some others of our illustrious class whom he has seen recently. Tyson Miller has been qui'e successful as an architect. Frank Woolard is a civil engineer. Thompson and Reagan tend strictly to music, playing in every parade held in the city. ' Shanky with his violin is be- coming a real music master. Some of his works even compare with those of Chopin. Beethoven, and Irving Berlin! Cupid has shot arrows into the hearts of Lellis Speakman and Sara Darlington, and. I suppose, they will “live happily ever after.” Just about this time I awakened with a start. What was it all about? I wasn't in New York, but in my own little bed. What was the meaning of all this? I have it. I had dreamed the great dream —fifteen years into the future of the Class of '27 of the West Chester High School. Mildred Tapper. 1927. (Class 1Uill of HI27 We. the Class of 1927. recently have been informed that on the twenty-fifth day of May, in the year one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-seven, we shall start on the home stretch of our final lap in life at the West Chester High School— our final exams. It has also been made known to us that on June the ninth of the above said year we shall break the tape at the finish of our High School career and enter into the life of the world. The attainment of this final day has for four long years been our constant aim and our supreme goal. In view of these grim facts, we do hereby draw up and sign our last will and testa- ment. I. To the Junior Class we bequeath the undisputed right to Bl, B2 and B4. which have served us so well as attend- ance rooms. We hope that the boys will leave the erasers at their right places, at the board, and not conceal them in their desks for use in patting some unsuspecting neighbor on the back. II. We now ungrudgingly give to the Class of 28 the use of the Senior steps as entrance, exit, and noon playground. We know that they will guard them well from the attack of lower classes and will see to it that the globes atop the lamp posts remain unbroken. III. We bequeath, with many sighs, to the Class of '28. the pleasure of the acquaintance of Messrs. Milton and Burke. We hope that the friendship of these two will be as pleasant to our suc- cessors at it has been to us. IV. We give the Class of '28 the honor of using the front seats of the auditorium on all worthy occasions. We hope that we have not set a bad example in our use of these seats and that the mem- bers of 28 will not find it necessary to test their strength on the backs of them. V. Jo the crudest and most heartless members of the Class of '28 we give and bequeath the duty of serving as Hall Monitors. We warn them that they are, nevertheless, expected to be in class on time. VI. We bequeath to '28 the observ- ance of Baby Day.” We hope they will make it as dignified an occasion as we did. We also hope that Mr. Henderson will be supplied with a new set of nursery rhymes and that no harm will be done in quarrels over stolen lollypops. VII. To the members of the Faculty we give our thanks for their untiring ef- forts to endow us with some traces of learning, and to our Alma Mater we give our love, honor, and respect. We hope that we have left the West Chester High School a better place than we found it. There are certain things that can be presented, not to the Junior Class as a whole, or to the school, but to individuals only. We, therefore, make the following bequests: I. 'Joe” Clark's position as Chief Monitor to Benny” Hubbard. II. Tubby’s” size to the highest bidder. III. Lawrence Shank's height to Wil- lard Woodward. IV. To Dick” Bleecker. Reds” Groff's red hair. THE GARNET AND WHITE 47 V. The combined knowledge of the Class of '27 in the field of Latin to Wil- liam Miller. VI. Jerry Harmon's ability as an athle e to the strongest man. VII. The musical attainments of Ty” Miller. Charles Reagan. Bob Thomson and Ell Wood Thompson to the ones Mr. Hart finds best suited to accept them. VIII. Eddie Walters' and Hen” Smith's ability to amuse the fairer mem- bers of the Class to Frank Bicking and Johnny” Zook. IX. Harry Shur's position of Class funmaker to him who hath the spirit to accept it. Signed by THE CLASS OF 1927. Samuel J. Parker, Pres.

III In every city and every Gild Is needed some one who can build. Some one with mind and body strong. Some one to work with laugh and song. Our course makes builders great and small; This course made builders of us all. We now are masters of our Gild. George Stewart, '27. There has been very little heard about the vocational department of the High School. Some think this department is not a part of the school, but they have the wrong idea. The vocational department aids the school more than any other de- partment. If there are any fixtures of various kinds to be made, down to the shop they go. The boys in the shop can accomplish any thing in ihe line of car- pentry and mechanics. There is no other course in school so fitting for a boy who wants to get out for himself after he grad- uates. There is also the idea that the voca- tional course is an easy one. but this course, although not ihe hardest, is not the easiest, by any means. It takes a keen brain to figure out some of the problems in mechanical drawing and machine work. It is only recently that the shop stu- dents have been fully recognized. There are very few boys in the shops who do not take part in sports or some other activ- ity of the school. I think it is every one's duty to give these students a little more encourage- ment. Frank Woolard, '27 THE GARNET AND WHITE 55 AS WE SEE IT As the sun gradually sinks below the distant hills, we think of the many things accomplished while the sun gave us light. Even so it is with the senior members of the iron shop. The four years in High School seem as but a few hours ago when the sun gave light. But, as the end of the course comes with the setting sun, we are assured that what we have accomplished will fit us for the future. The first year in High School seemed like a dream. We were pushed about and, being green,” took such actions to heart. But. when we were given the same priv- ileges as the upper classmen, we took like advantage. During the latter part of our Sophomore year we became more inter- ested. and our work, though it was hard- er. became a pleasure. Each year the course has become more interesting: and, now that it is our last year in High School, we feel confident that the time that has been spent in school has aided us in forming the foundations of a career. Wayne Miller. '27 MY TRADE Since I started, it seems ages. Among a crowd of boys, To learn my trade from sages. And to make a lot of noise. The sages were quite learned. And we soon began to show That cities are not founded Upon the ice and snow. And that our hopes can never stand Unless built on rock instead of sand. Work is rock and sand is play: On sand our castle will not stay. All four years our sages taught, That work is all. and play is naught. Now very soon we found. That work is only the aim With which we try to hit the game. And now our time is very short; Still our sages hold the fort— Teaching others how to work, Always work and never shirk. Our wishes for our sages Are the best from out the ages. And of the school, our thoughts Shall go down throughout the ages. George Stewart, ’27 FOUR YEARS IN THE MACHINE SHOP I. As Freshmen green we started in. Chiping a block till it was thin: As Sophomores, we learned some more. To run a lathe and sweep the floor. II. Our Junior year was quite a success As we ran the miller and the drill-press. The planer large was heard to groan, 'I wish Frank Woolard would let me alone.” III. We give the credit to our Prof., And to him. our hats we doff. Now if you wish to learn and have some fun Please meet our teacher, Mr. Clayton. IV. And now, as Seniors, we believe We are good mechanics and can have our leave. Now here’s to you. Old West Chester High, May your candle burn and never die. Robert N. Spyker, ’27 SHOP SPLINTERS Each day I pass the same routine: To work I wend my way. And when I reach the old wood shop, I hear the folks there say: I take great pleasure introducing Geo. Stewart you all should know. He’s a diplomat, you'll agree to that: And for speed, boys, he can go. There’s Harry who has a tale to tell— First one thing, then another. While Sam frowns, and looks around And just says. Ask some other.” And there's our teacher, Mr. Hallowell; He tells us the things that we don't know. He checks our time, and bids us well As out into the world with his wishes we go. Sam Downing, ’27. 56 THE GARNET AND WHITE Above—W. C. H. S. Cross Country Team. 1926-27 Below—W. C. H. S.

Twas she who led us through the storm And kept us in the best of form, E’er fighting to the final round. To do our best we all were bound. ‘‘Come, kids, fight on, was all she'd say. Stick in there, yet—we ll have our way. And se we did six times of ten— The seventh we just tied with them. But whether on the winning side Or downed by worthy foes, with pride We answered to our leader’s call— To Captain Mood now one and all! COACHES AND W. C. H. S. BASKET- BALL TEAM Mil Reagan Now Mil's our little forward. We know she’s very short, But, when she shoots for baskets. She’s cheered from o'er the court. Tish” Murdaugh Now Tish is our only brunette. She always plays a good game. Sometimes at center, sometimes at forward. But always to win” is her aim. Reg'' Shelter Sheller is our charger. And a forward, too. Always helps to win games: Loyal and true blue. Marie Tapper Now Marie is ever in there : She always does her best— Wouldn’t allow her opponents The sleeve from out her vest. Anne Murphy Now Pat is another blonde. She holds the guard position. She serves black looks quite often. But it’s against her disposition. Carol Reagan Now Carol's very speedy: At side-center she does star. She always grasps the signals. And her “passing is up to par. “Mil” Tapper Now Tapper played well at forward. And. when Coatesville came to town. She was paired with that little Gates girl And tossed her round and round. Miss Strickland Sure Stricky’s our nifty coach. Of that we’re justly proud. She's led us on to victory, And is a fav’rite with our crowd. Miss Miller Miss Miller, our assistant coach. Is as sweet as she can be. She’s given us many pointers On playing the game, you see.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The main purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to get the girls interested in sports and urge them to have larger turn- outs for the various sports. It is a new organization, this being the second year for it. but already it is on its way to success. The first thing accomplished was to elect new officers. The final results were Mildred Tapper, President: Margaret Sheller. Vice President: and Mildred Mood, Secretary. The constitution was revised and discussed fully with the girls in order that they might have a distinct understanding of it. The election of the basketball manager resulted in favor of Mardette Walter. It was also suggested that we have a publicity manager in order that the towns- people may know through the news- papers what the girls are doing in the athletic world. Lei 1 is Speakman was chosen. The Girls’ Athletic Association is a wonderful thing, and the girls should show more interest in it. They should do their best towards making the Asso- ciation what it should be next year, and they will be geatly benefited. Mildred Mood, Sec. ’27. THE GARNET AND WHITE 61 BOYS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Although the Boys’ Athletic Associa- tion is a new organization of West Chester High School, it has developed into one of the strongest organizations in school. In our meetings we discuss all questions pertaining to (he boys' athletics. Much time has been devoted to arouse more interest in sports in West Chester High The boys also nominate and elect their own managers, assistant managers, and provincial managers for all sports. This is one organization in which all the fellows get a chance to take part. There is a great future for this organiza- tion as it grows older. Joseph S. Clark. Sec. of B. A. A.. '27.

We have had some very good times at the meetings. Several plays have been given in meetings, and one was given in chapel. The Club's most interesting meeting was at Christmas. We sang several carols in French and played games appropriate to the season. The atten- dance has been good as a whole through- out the year. Refreshments were served at several meetings. This added a new feature to the program. We hope that French Club will be just as successful next year and that everybody will show the same interest in it. Eleanor Maynard. Sec., ’27. PLAYFULLY SPEAKING “It was so nice of you to bring me lollypops.” said the poor, worn-out Secretary of the Dramatic Club to her friend Sir Garnet and White, but she wondered at his expression. “Open them. he suggested. “All flavors. M-m-m. Won't you take one. Sir Garnet and White? In a minute. Look, aren't they pretty shapes? “Yes. Why—they’re people! No— here’s a moon shining through a little window. It is very cold, and into the wintergreen lollypop steps a little boy. There’s an old, old woman in a cloak who is saying. ‘Go. go, my child'. Do you hear her? What Made the Chimes Ring. It was a lovely play, wasn't it? Let's try to name the people. There were Charlotte Rothrock, the little boy; Ruth Sexton, the old dame: Augustus Kibbe. the boys' uncle: Bobby Gawthrop, the brother: and those in the pantomine, Alger Whitcraft, Edna Greeley. Jane Carter, John GrofF. Samuel Parker, Eugene Kibbe, and the angel. Janith Conrad “Here’s a sober butterscotch lollypop. and Elizabeth Smith announcing a tall, blond genileman. Benjamin Franklin. Journeyman. It is Virginia Smith! And there's Dot Burdette saying, ’Thee’ so demurely with her little copper kettle in her hand. Louise Windle makes a clever Quaker gentleman, doesn’t she? Jane Carter is Deborah Reed — I hope she doesn't trip over those skirts. Enter the Hero!—into a mint lolly- pop. She mint’ it to be love a la tele- praghique n’este pas? Only the ‘hero', Herbert Pritchard, was a bit bashful. Such poetry! O. Sir Garnet and White, doesn't your heart flutter? Alice Reeder is cute as the engaged lady, isn’t she? And Valeria Sellers would have been such an admiring little sister-in-law. Well done, Libby Baldwin. “What's Marie Tapper flirting with a cherry lollypop for? O, the mint is cleared. Marie is flirting. Yes, but with George Washington. Sir Bobby Cole. I fear you had better destroy a few of those photos, Sir Bobby — or else locate your heart. You do, finally, don't you? But —Marie isn’t interested. Yes, Miss Rigg. those doors did slam. Exit the cherry tree. “Orange lollypops. A balcony with lovely Nannette. only to us it's Libby win, the youth Rene, Augustus Kibbe, and the strains of “O Love, As Flowers Twine”. (Note the sleepy, dreams-of- yesterday expression on the little old man in the fifth row. O well—) But the whole cast was adorable, wasn’t it? Lawrence Shank as 'Frederic, Duc d' Antin', with his flare for brides: orange blossoms and moonlight: gypsies and nightcaps. ‘Dawn’ and casements—’The Marriage of Nannette’—also figures—‘Ha. ha! But—never mind that'.’’ “Won’t you have a lollypop, Sir Garnet and White?” “Impossible,” he said sadly. “My favorite flavor is lacking. But I shouldn't be sad, for you see it is—lemon.” Jane Carter, Sec. '28. 66 THE CARNET AND WHITE Above—W. C. H. S. Band. 1926-27 Below—W. C. H. S. Orchestra. 1926-27 THE GARNET AND WHITE 67 INTER NOS Just Among Ourselves” we. the Junior classical students, have formed a club with the very much appreciated help of Domina Jackson. Our motto is, No prize with- out a struggle”. Our first experience was the election during which three of our noble Romans proclaimed that they were standing” for consul. They with their respective nomendators, proceeded to con- duct some strenuous electioneering cam- paigns. using life-savers as bribes. After all the wrangle and confusion was over and the vote of the three “centuries had been taken, it was announced that Lillian Fell and William E. Miller had been elected. 1 hen our C-8 was transformed from the Campus Martius to the Forum where all of us became serious, be-toga-ed senators listening to Cicero's (Wm. Miller) accusations against Catiline (Hazel Anderson). After listening gravely and justly, the senators pronounced the death penalty upon the conspirators. Our last meeting was a sort of miscel- laneous one. At the earnest request of one of our members we played “Specto” and the game of verbs. We also became better acquainted with that kind of animal which Barnum called the ‘ Egresse”. That is all. my dear reader—just “Among Ourselves”. Olive Eastburn. Scriba. '28. HISTORY CLUB In September a number of enthusiastic History students met in C-10 to elect officers for the History Club. The results were as follows: President, Eleanor Pusey: Vice President, Louise Windle: Secretary, Flora Benge: Treasurer. Roger Hoopes: Chairman of Program Com- mittee. Olive Eastburn. The most remarkable thing about the Club was that all programs were given by the Club members or by the History teachers. From these programs we learn- ed many interesting things about Pennsyl- vania, Chester County, Philadelphia, Gettysburg, and American heroes. Our biggest feature of the year was the presentation of The Courtship of Miles Standish”. The success of this play was due to the spirit of those in the play and the coaching of Miss Mahy. Much credit is also due the Stage and the Costume Committees. I his year's work shows that the History Club is a wide awake organiza- tion. It has been one of which West Chester High School may be proud. Flora Benge. Sec. '27. COMMERCIAL CLUB On Tuesday morning. March 8. 1927. a meeting of (he Commercial pupils was held in the Typewriting Room for the purpose of forming a club. Joseph Clark was appointed temporary chairman and Doris Dock temporary secretary. Ihe pupils were informed that the administrative officers of the school and the teachers of the Commer- cial Department approved the forming of a Commercial Club and would give it their support. I he pupils present were unanimously in favor of organizing the Club. A nominating committee was appointed to nominate candidates for the following offices: President. Vice President, Secre- tary, and Treasurer. he meeting was then adjourned to meet Tuesday morning. March 22nd. On Tuesday morning March 22, 1927. the Commercial Club held its second meeting in the Typewriting Room for the purpose of electing its officers. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Joseph Clark. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the temporary Secretary. Doris Dock, and were approved. The election of officers for the Club was held, the results being as follows: Joseph Clark. President: William Clark. Vice President: Frances Burns. Secretary: and Kenneth Webster. Treasurer. The President appointed a committee to draw up the Club Constitution and pre- sent it to the members of the club for approval and adoption. A plan was decided upon to have the Club meet twice a month. The meeting was then adjourned. Respectfully submitted. President. JOSEPH S. CLARK. ’27. Secretary, Frances Burns, ’27. 68 THE GARNET AND WHITE LAETI ROMANI The Roman citizens met in the Senate Chamber (C-8) in ihe fall to elect two consuls for the year. Many 'ran for office , but the two elected after a struggle were Marguerite Norman and Flora Benge. During the year we have enjoyed many interesting meetings. At our early meet- ings we devoted the program to mythology and had several myths dramatized. At our Christmas meeting a play called “Saturnalia” was presented. At the close of the meeting a messenger appeared with a letter from Santa Claus. This was one of our most delightful meetings. St. Valentine had his day also. The name of our club. Laeti Romani, means Joyful Romans. Our motto has been, Facta non Verba (Deeds not words). Consuls. Margurite Norman, '27. Flora Benge, '21. THE MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus is one of the out- standing organizations in our school. It has been in existence for a number of years, but this year it has been more successful than formerly. Everyone pro- claimed the operetta a success, and it was largely due to the work of the choruses. A great number of the chorus members belonged to the Mixed Chorus. At present we are working on the music for the May Festival. We won the singing contest last year and we hope to do the same this year. Fellow students, always give this chorus your support so that it will be recognized as one of West Chester High's outstanding organizations. Elizabeth Baldwin, '27. ECHOES FROM THE ART CLUB Those pupils who elect drawing for more than twice a week and make a monthly mark of eighty-five automatically become members of the Art Club. This year there are twenty-five such pupils on the roll. Although we have not entered contests so far this year, we have done a great amount of work. The club members painted the scenery, made by the shop boys, for both the Christmas entertain- ment and the operetta given this year. Several have made the cartoons found m the different numbers of the GARNET AND White. The Sophomore pennant was designed by Margaret Miles and worked-up by two boys in (he Mechanical Drawing Depart- ment. Malcolm Dewees and Maurice Darlington. Several of the pupils have been busy working on Wild Flower Posters to be used very soon in a local contest for the protection of our wild flowers. The club members in their respective classes have done such work as the design- ing of costumes, house-planning, charcoal work, nature study, and the study of arhitecture. In connection with this last study several members were taken to the Sesqui and there shown around by Miss Johnson, who pointed out the various kinds of architecture. She also took us to visit the Fine Arts building where we saw many beautiful pieces of work. Besides those things which come under our usual work we prepare for the Play Festival, design the sport Insignia or emblems, and print the posters about the games. This year the letters were designed by George Woodward who also designed the sport pennants, which will soon be on sale. Adele Musante and George Woodward have completed the new captions or head- ings for our Garnet and White which are used in this issue. So. you see our club is ready to help at anytime and in any way it can to improve art, to spread the appreciation of art, and to cultivate good taste. Marguerite Norman, '21, Pres. BABY DAY Teeney and Val” went out to play— Twas on the morn of Baby Day— All dressed up in ruffly clothes With pretty slippers and silken hose. They each had a lolly-pop,” colored quite gay, And a baby doll under each arm that could say, “Mama! mama! mama!” quite loudly, As they sat in the arms of their mothers proudly. M. V. S. THE GARNET AND WHITE 69 WONDERING We, a group of men and ladies. From scholastic fetters free. Each a little bit afraid is, Wondering what the world can be! Is it but a world of trouble. Sadness put to song? Is its beauty but a bubble Bound to break ere long? Are its palaces and pleasures Luxuries that fade? And the glories of its treasurers Shadows of a shade?

We have been, building a strong, firm foundation upon which will rise the leaders of W. C. H. S. Next year the GARNET AND WHITE will be practically in our hands. Are we going to keep it up to par. or are we going to push it way beyond what it has ever been before? Next year the success or failure of each club will be up to us. What are we go- ing to do? Each sport will or should re- ceive most encouragement from us. Under all these responsibilities we must bear up. We must make the Class of '28 one I hat will fulfill its obligations, that will meet its responsibilities. Let us be an ideal class, one that will be long-remem bered as a big, warm, loving non-cliquey class which holds the best interests of Alma Mater first.

Edna Humphrey 74 THE GARNET AND WHITE Junior High Sketches _ 9« THE GARNET AND WHITE 75 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR HIGH REVIEW Diary. April 22. 1927 Diary. I am going to tell you about our Junior High School activities for this year. I am very sorry for having neglected you for so long, diary, but I shall now make up for the neglect. It's easy to be enthu- siastic when you have caught the spirit— it's school spirit I'm talking about. That is what has made our Junior High such a great success this year. Even though other activities are just as important, I shall begin my remini- sence with athletics. Our football team was a ''wow ! Just think, diary, there was only one game out of ten that we didn't win. Why, our Junior High foot- ball team was ten times as good as the Senior High team. (Wouldn't those Senior High students give vent to some rage if they should read this? Oh, Boy!) Although composed of such extreme Mutts and Jeffs as Shorty” Kerr and Jack Ivins, our basketball team cap- tured thirteen of seventeen games. If you had seen Shorty Kerr jumping around and Bill Ryan shooting for the basket, you surely would have been as thrilled as I was, diary. Now we're wishing our basetball team luck. Make us so proud of you. team, that nothing will bring us down to earth again. There now, diary, I hope you don’t think I am forgetting the girls. Although they didn't play any outside basketball teams, they had lively interclass games. Both the girls and the boys worked in- dustriously for the gym” demonstration at the Normal School. In spite of Spring fever, we all are pepped up over the badge athletic contest, to be held in May. Our idea of punishment, diary, would be the abolishment of our assembly pe- riods. Mr. Hart, our music supervisor, says we are pretty” good. Since he an- nounced that the Music Supervisors of Pennsylvania are coming to hear us sing, we have all added several sizes to our Spring hats. However, the chapel activities are not confined to singing. We always are glad to be entertained by speakers, or plays given by Senior High or music by the Normal School Students. But, diary, I do believe we most enjoy our very own programs. Every department in school has given demonstrations of some type. Latin? Indeed, the Latin group's pro- gram was of the best. Although the Latin tongue, used in the play given by the boys, sounded queer, there really was some sense to it—so the characters said: the girls solemnized a Roman wed- ding in which both the bride and the groom ate the same cracker. (??) Jack Ivins and Nelda Wynn starred in the clever production of Let's Clean Up.” The Greek Comedy, written by several girls of Miss Mahy's ninth grade class, was really clever and quite humorous. Mar- tha Moore (she was the heroine) gave some impromptu humor by losing her sandals as she was stalking up and down the stage in great agitation. Well, the audience just roared, but she kept right on, and the play was not spoiled a bit. But I must not take all my time telling about the plays. Mr. Hutton's ninth grade boys have proved real debaters. In both debates given. Stanley Smith loudly and successfully proclaimed his views. The Spring weather makes me think of our musical activities. Miss Rodes leads the song sparrows—known as the girls' glee club—and also directs the orchestra which has been flying along at top speed. Both organizations have pleased their au- diences with their programs. Since the Home and School League is so good to us. we are glad to entertain it whenever we are invited. Although events of last Fall have almost slipped my memory, I still remember the charming little boy (Charlotte Rothrock) in the play, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil.” In a recent program of the Home Economics Department, a health play and fashion show were the features. The models said they felt like scarecrows on 76 THE GARNET AND WHITE pivots,—but the audience enjoyed the show. Diary, some of our contests are exercis- ing not muscle, but gray-matter. I thought I would never write anything worthwhile in 300 words for the Health Habits essay. (The results of the con- test are still unknown). Vera Lawton and Kathryn Fluck captured honors in the Christmas Story Contest. The pupils who do not like milk are at their wits’ end to know what to write for the May essay contest, entitled, Importance of Clean Milk. Altogether, my dear diary, our school- year has been so much fun. Perhaps after finals, diary, I shall have much more to tell you. but just now I bid you adieu. Marise Fairlamb, Sara Barber. Carolyn Harrar, Nell Bleecker 3ln tlic llallcy of the (JHuon I. If you would like to take a trip To our far little satellite. You would not go by train or plane, But just by thought one dark, old night. II. I once sat upon a little bank. Gazing upon the far off moon: I looked on its mighty peaks To find myself there just at noon. III. I looked about to find myself Upon a vast and silent plain. No earthly eye had seen this place, But then I did not come for fame. IV. Next I stood in a silent city In the valley of a strange world; There were buildings all of pure gold, But at my feet the dead lay curled. V. I saw a temple with pillars of gold; About it paths of jewels were strewn; Not only one, but three of these Were in this city of the moon. VI. 'There was gold here, there, and every- where, In abundance I am sure. There were plates of gold and tools of gold. But the people—were their souls pure i VII. Now when the air from the moon did part, The people died among their gold; And left naught but the memory Of their abilities, hard and cold. VIII. I could not bear to think of this: So I turned home so soon To leave forever this resting place For men in the valley of the moon. IX. So, after all. you can easily see That, though you may have golden mounts Yet it is rather that inner thing. Your God-given soul, that always counts. John Connell, '30 IB ask filial I C7 Coach W. E.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 77 EXCHANGE We have come to the end of our school year, and we must review the tasks we have accomplished in that time. It has been a successful term for the Garnet AND White. Though for various reasons we have not been able to do all we planned, still many of our hopes have been realized. We have tried to balance our material and give every depart- ment a good share in helping to put out a fine magazine. We have received many favorable com- ments from our Exchanges. Nearly everyone is pleased with our cartoons and cuts. They say also that our sports reflect pep and school spirit. A large majority like our Literary Department which-is one of the parts of the magazine which we have tried to improve, both in size and quality. Although a few say it is still too small, it seems to suit most of our friends. Our Exchange List, while it is not large, is of wide range and type. Among our old friends, Cliveden. Radnorite, Spice. Upi Dah. High School Record, and many others keep coming to us. laden with good material. Spotlight and Valkyrie News are two of the best newspapers we received. We have also gained new friends this year. Perhaps the most inter- esting and best of these is the Green and White, from Manila, P. I. It comes from a long way off and for that reason is of special interest to us. It has some of the best stories on our Exchange List. We appreciate greatly the comments of others about the GARNET AND WHITE, Some readers pay little attention to the Exchange Department of their school paper, but it is one of the most important parts. Through it come new ideas, broader ideas, and fair-minded criticisms by which to improve the paper or maga- zine. A wide Exchange List is “a hope for the future.” In the past we have acted on the suggestions of other schools in regard to parts of our magazine. We have added and changed many things,— we hope, for the best. Yet we still expect to improve, and through our Exchange columns we pass on to our future editors and readers ihe most valuable of gifts— the unprejudiced opinion of an outsider. Thus the Exchanges are a hope for the future”, and by their aid we may pass on to the coming classes our GARNET AND WHITE “not less, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.” Edna N. Pusey, ’27. L'ENVOI Sometime all our work must end. And so the end of this school year brings with it the completion of the work of the Garnet and White staff. We have striven to do our best for the school maga- zine. trying to make each issue as perfect as possible. Our ideals have been high and we have been most happy when we have attained them. To no one person is due the credit for this success, but, rather, to the hundred or more who contributed in their various ways. First, we must make special men- tion of the advertisers whose advertise- ments have been placed within our maga- zine covers during the year. We sincerely hope that their respective business concerns have prospered as a result. We wish to thank each member of the student body who contributed material for our publication. Then, too. there are the Alumni to be considered. We heartily thank each one who answered our editor's call by sending a letter, which proved very interesting to the rest of us. We are al- ways glad to hear of our Alumni. Last, but not least, the members of the staff, also, are to be thanked and con- gratulated upon the fine work and spirit of co-operation shown by them from Sep- tember to June. They are the ones wbo succeeded in getting the material and the advertisements, and in helping to sell the Garnet AND White each month. With- out them we could have had no magazine. Now that our work is ended—it is with a degree of sorrow that we find it so. and we are satisfied with ourselves for having done our best—the most we can do is to wish the staff for next year as great, if not greater success than we have enjoyed with the GARNET AND WHITE.
