Through your great halls of learning We've trodden every day, And we have learned such lessons We never can repay. Life is a preparation For one commencement day; You’ve taken us the first lap: We'll strive on the rest of the way. And when our life is ended, When we, of course, have won, To thee, our Alma Mater, We’ll surely say, “Well done.” —Marie Tapper, '28. THE GARNET AND WHITE STAFF—1927-1928 4 THE CARNET AND WHITE (in (Our iMma iMatcr B. Now since our High School days are almost over we cannot refrain from feeling sad and reflecting on the past four short years. Graduation is a very dear thing to all of us, and not one would miss it, but it brings with it sadness, too. It seems like the first great turning point in our lives. Childhood now ends: for some will enter the business world and strive for their living, while others will go on to college, so that they may be better pre- pared to take up their chosen work. No matter what we do, it will be real work. How deeply the love for our Alma Mater is instilled in each of us! Here, under her protecting wing, we have learned many lessons. We have met many people and through them have learned to love and dislike. Our first lessons of life have been taught by you, Alma Mater. Gently have you made us feel the hurts that can be and so often are given by the people in this world. The worth of such lessons we can hardly know, but some who have received unusually severe hurts, on reflect- ing, really know the true worth of such lessons. Really the knowledge we pick out from our books is of small value com- pared to the many, many other lessons you have taught us. Besides teaching us to take hurts and carefully care for the deep wound, you have sought Cupid out and instructed him to shoot each one of us through the heart with his deadly arrow. Love in more than one shape has come to us. Do we not all know the experience of wandering around in a dream for weeks? Our hearts have been numb with a love for. maybe, an adored teacher or, maybe, one of our schoolmates. We have all exper- ienced a dull ache which was certainly most painful. By thus teaching us to know the pain of love you have prepared us for the great love which sooner or later must come into our lives. Thus when we reflect upon our High School days, we find what a really won- derful Alma Mater you have been. After all. is not this preparation the most import- ant? Our lives are such precious, prec- ious gifts that we must be sure to have the right start, so as not in any way to do them harm. You are the one who has been our guiding hand: you are like the spring months with their winds, showers, and warm sunny light which bring forth the tiny flowers and protect them until they are strong. How carefully and tenderly you have guided us along until now you bid us enter the vast world. Is it any wonder that we leave you with tears on our faces and an ache in our hearts? Alma Mater, we alone know the great and wonderful lessons you have taught us. Now we must go forth with our lessons tucked under our arms. We must be careful. We must heed them, lest the vast pit swallow us up. Alma Mater, may your garden of children grow larger and larger, so that more may share your won- derful teaching, and may God ever throw the shining light upon you in which you now rest and work in that beautiful task of teaching His children how to flourish, so that they may each have a beautiful, clean life to offer when He calls for them. —Mary Smedley, '28.

Who’s the sweetest girl in High School? '‘Flossy” Jefferis. of course. Everybody says so. Never has she a cross word for anyone, but her smile shines on all alike. Everyone is in love with her—especially the boys. She is not only popular, but in a great many activities also. There will be a gap in High School when she goes away.

There is a certain knack in being superior to others and not letting them know it. Marie certainly has that knack. She has. for all four years, excelled in all things without a bit of trouble. Not only is Marie able to lead, but she follows well too! She has been an asset to any team or club of which she has been a part. May she never lose that “old pep and fighting spirit” that we all admire! 6 THE GARNET AND WHITE CHARLOTTE BAIRD ALLEN Secretarial “Life's a beautiful institution; Let us take things as they come.” Commercial Club 111. IV; Typewriting Certificate; Track III. Charlotte came to us from Lionville at the beginning of her Sophomore year. Although “Charlie” has been with us only three years, she has made many friends by her smiles and gentleness. We feel sure that she will make a fine secretary for somebody, although she is undecided as to her future. LILLIAN E. ANDERSON Classical “Truer than steel and better than gold.” History Club III. IV; French Club III. IV; Perfect Attend- ance III: Honor Roll Charm III; Captain Yankee Division IV; Classical Club III. Council IV: Gift Committee IV. “Fill” has been with us for only two years and what Avon- dale has lost we have gained. By the list of her activities, as shown above, we may readily see that she has lost no time in getting acquainted with dear old W. C. H. S. She is planning next year to go to the State Teachers College, and. as we know her as an A pupil, we know she will be successful. CAROLINE BACHMAN Secretarial “Very quiet, yes, 'tis true; But she will appeal to you.” Class Lieutenant I: Typewriting Certificate III: Dramatic Club III; History Club IV; Commercial Club IV. “Honey” hails from down the “main line.” She appears to be quiet, but she isn’t when you know her as a great many do. “Honey” is undecided as to what her future career will be. but we are sure she will make a success in anything she may undertake.

Ill; Secretary of Boys’ Athletic Assoc- iation IV. “Hank” has been one of the main stays of 1928, always active in sports and school activities. Everyone likes him and his winning smile. His playing on the gridiron and baseball diamond is one of his reasons for being popular. Wherever there is a group of people, you may be sure that Hank will be amusing them. His ability to make friends will help him as much as anything when he goes to Penn State next year. THE GARNET AND WHITE 7 RICHARD W.

His good-nature and pluckiness have won him many friends in his scholastic work and on the athletic field. He is a good example for the old quotation. Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. Reds hopes to go to the United States Naval Academy. We wish him the best of success in becoming a high ranking officer in our Navy. LILLIAN ELEANOR BRADLEY General “A winning smile on every day, For everyone who comes her way.” Art Club I, IV; History Club III, IV; French Club II. Ill: Perfect Attendance IV. You know Lil.

Underwood III; Typewriting Medal, Underwood IV; Lieutenant III; Track IV. If you want ‘ Rufus,” just page Charlotte. In school or out. they are always together. The “Gold Dust Twins” have nothing on them! Ruth is one of those unusual creatures, who, though she chatters a great deal, accomplishes a great deal. Rufus can help us out of tight places, and we know she will make a successful secretary. CARL BROSCH Scientific “Silence is golden.” Cross Country Varsity II. Ill; Captain IV: Track Squad II; Varsity III. IV: Class Basketball III, IV; Science Club IV; Assistant Football Manager III. Buck is one of our ambitious young people who are going to be farmers.

If something is to be done, we can depend on “Buck.” FRANCES BROWN General Most dangerous are these quiet folks.” History Club IV; Dramatic Club IV. ' Peaches” has been with us all four years. Although she seems quiet to those who do not know her so well, to her friends she is a confirmed giggler.

General “Whatever is popular deserves attention.” Cross Country Squad II: Track Squad II: Orchestra I. Ill, IV: Senior Chorus IV; Operetta III: Cantata IV. Somehow or other.

Who does not enjoy “Ted’s” smile and. more than that, his serious moments when he is the sympathetic friend? An honest heart, a good mind, and athletic ability—for what more might Diogenes seek? At Haverford and in later life these qualities will shine. Add to this his interest in clubs that shows his spirit, and you have the reason for “Ted’s” popularity with everyone. HAROLD COMFORT Scientific “On their own merits modest men are dumb.” Assistant Baseball Manager III: President of Science Club IV: Class Lieutenant I. IV. Harold is the mathematician of the class and therefore should be able to figure his way through the world. Next year Harold goes to Drexel Institute to study electrical engineering.

What could be better for an afternoon's entertainment? An old edition of Shakespeare, an antique one of Milton, a manuscript of Bacon over there in the glass case—all seeming to breathe with the spirit of their former owners and authors. What could this be? Wonder of wonders—a new book with the title That Famous Class.” The minute I opened it I was fascinated and continued so the whole afternoon. It was a complete record of the birth of the stu- dents of the Class of 1928, by the talented genealogist, Gilbert Pyle. The following is a summary of the first two chapters: What a class was that Class of 1928 back in the autumn of 1924. In vain we considered ourselves little acorns from which would grow great oaks: the other classes thought we were just plain nuts. At all events we were new and green, ever so green. Even in those days we showed promise though, for we elected Eddie Yeager as our first guiding star. Other classes thought us supremely dumb, yet we had such contenders as Elizabeth Rettew and Louise Windle in the Joseph S. Evans iifu (Ohm ilxpi'rtcncc Contest fcr Girls and George Highley and Raymond Talley in the Boys’ D. Webster Meredith Contest. Soon we became more habituated to our surroundings and a trifle less self-conscious when a Senior deigned to gaze in our di- rection. It was at thi time that the whole school was united in sorrow over the death of good Mr. Jones, our super- intendent. The next year our position as Sopho- mores enabled us to look down upon the lowly and embarrassed Freshmen that were making blunders we were sure we had never made—until we really thought about the matter. Our good luck stayed with us when we elected John Zook our president. Genial Zookie certainly was a worthy representative. It was during that year that ”1928” began to show its worth. Jane Carter and Olive Eastburn were just getting into their stride-—both taking a place in the Sopho- more Essay Contest. George Highley surprised everybody by taking first place in the D. Webster Meredith Sneaking Contest. From this year the fortunes of 34 THE GARNET AND WHITE our class went beneath the chosen banner with its colors of yellow and white—the colors of spring and beauty. At this point my own recollections made me lay that book aside. It was at this point that I. green as a Freshie, was privileged to enter this famous class. About the time my initial fear of being made fun of had disappeared, vacation had arrived and we Sophs were expecting eagerly the time when we would be upper classmen. The time finally came. With covetous eyes on the well-guarded Senior Steps we advanced through the halls with our chests thrown out and a lordly eye cast upon the Freshies and Sophs. In the Oratorical Contest on the Con- stitution of the United States. George Highley won the right to be alternate for the Regional Contest. Jane Carter again proved her worth by winning the Junior Essay Contest. And what of the oper- etta.'’ Oh that showed what '28 could do. Jack Pechin was indeed a mighty bandit and bold. Olive Eastburn won, against all those Seniors, Honorable Men- tion in the Girls’ Joseph S. Evans Speak- ing Contest. It was all extemporaneous, too, which made it very difficult. When the debating came, our class did valiantly, losing to the Seniors but conquering the Sophomores. Then there was that Junior-Senior picnic. Ah-yum! and other expressions of delight. So everyone exclaimed. We were thinking the time about ripe for some of our real athletes to show what they could do. Hoppy Close needed no ex- plaining and there were others, too, like Hubbard, Bicking. Kibbe, and Farra. Now those exams were at hand. They hung over us every time we tried to be merry: they were detestable skeletons at any and every banquet. When they were over, there was ample and vocal rejoicing for those that had passed: for others a feeling of do better next time. The weather was too lovely for moping, and we were now Seniors. Wait! I'm going too fast. I forgot how big we felt, even when we were Juniors, on Baby Day. Again a happy vacation. When in the fall of '27 we again gathered together, what stature some of the fellows had gained! Palmer and Schramm were almost unrec- ognizable. T hey, with Chase. Martin, Woodward, and Parker, proved to us that we had a team. Then there was that wonderful cross-country team with over half of its number Seniors. No one need tell you that it has not been beaten for two years. In baseball, basketball, and in girls' games again we star. Show us better girl athletes than Marie Tapper, Elsie Lawton, Margaret Sheller, Virginia Wells, Louise Windle, Anne Murphy and we will con- cede you anything. Add to this the num- erous clubs, the band, the orchestra and parties which have come in luxurious pro- fusion this year, and you have the spirit of 1928. With li’l Jack Pechin to guide its for- tunes the Class of 1928 expects and awaits the best period of its history. We shall be the first class to receive our diplomas in the great and beautiful Philips Memorial Building at the State Teachers College. As other classes in other years have gone to a play that their appreciation of the drama might be sufficient, so a large number of Seniors went to Philadelphia to see George Arliss play in the Merchant of Venice. Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight looks forward and upward to life. We have had a glorious history in many ways. Let us fill that glorious history out to maturity in years to come, and let us not forget whence came our first training. Let us say to ourselves over and over as a motto for our shield of character: In the bright lexicon of youth—there is no such word as 'fail'. —William E. Miller, '28.

(liiunttu-fiue There we were stranded in the midst of a crowded station with not a face we knew. We had several hours lay over and noth- ing to do with our time Then suddenly something landed with a smack in the middle of my back, and a small man with an information bureau uniform confronted us: it was our old friend, Dallett Sharpless. We didn’t know the name of the city in which we were stalled; in answer to our question he informed us that we were in the city of Marshallton. He then started off on his line of business suggesting a taxi tour of the city and giving us some very surprising information as to the pres- ence of some of our old school chums who had flocked to the city from the now all- but-deserted village of West Chester. We managed to get a few words in edgewise, telling of the few friends with whom we had come into contact since leaving W. C. H. S. Windle and Chase, our lawyers, were the cause of our coming East to contest in a case. On the train we had met the Martins, Anne. Howard, and the little Martins for traveling compan- ions. and in the smoking car we had met Philip Price, who was on his way to take the position as Dean of Lincoln Univer- sity. We called a taxi which came spinning up with a flourish. Here we got the sur- prise of our lives when we saw Marie Tapper as one of the most capable taxi drivers of the company. Thinking over old times, she took us past the Old Ladies’ Home of which Elsie Lawton was man- ager. Swinging around Coolidge Avenue we almost hit poor Frank Bicking who was too busy with his street cleaning to v-if'-h out for autos. He was cleaning up trash from in front of the new fifty story (Class But now, as we are near the end, So to thee a loving knee we bend: We love thee as a friend most dear And cannot leave without a tear.

Hears ifintce 69 C i building which Joe Ewing had just com- pleted. At the next corner we were held up by the Heathcote Circus parade. On the roof of the second wagon Bill Miller was excit- edly leading the clown band, an activity which he used to be very fond of practic- ing, while overhead Ruth Morris, the circus star stunt flier, was making the crowd gasp with astonishment at her breath-taking turns and twists. The wagons all carried glaring posters announc- ing the only appearance of Lee Parry, last year's Olympic star, in an exhibition run following the Big Show. At last the parade had passed, and we continued on our way up Malvern Boule- vard. Marie’s wildly waving hand pointed out Soup” Suplee turning into Zook’s Beauty Shoppe where Virginia is turning out some of the smartest styles in hair trimming and Johnny is a past master with scissors. Marie told us that Soup was now head of Marshallton University. Glancing at the taxi meter I was shocked to find it totaling $7.84. We at once de- cided to spend the rest of our stopover in the movies. Marie dropped us at the Pal- ace, and there, to our surprise, sat Dorothy Darlington in the ticket box. After a few words of greeting we passed into the the- ater to be welcomed by the Bleecker News Reel. The shock of the day came when Hoffners’ (Henry’s and Lillian’s) faces came on the screen as prize winners in the potato raising contest. Almost immedi- ately we were surprised to see the well- known face of Bishop Matlack, the finan- cial king, and his stenographer, Olive East- burn, who were sailing for Europe on the Newfoundland.” They were accomp- anied by Jack Pechin who, on his way THE GARNET AND WHITE 37 Top left—Officers of Science Club.

President Carl Brosch's picture was shown with him on the Capitol steps, and then lo! and be- hold! Charlie Davis armed with a broom came into the corner of the picture while busily sweeping the Capitol steps. We settled back in our seats for the vaudeville program which was in charge of Elizabeth Rettew. The first number was a tumbling act by “Sheller's Tumb- lers'' which was followed by a more ser- ious program of enlightening cartooning by an old friend. Leona Logan. The last number which everyone enjoyed consisted of a duet by Joe Mattson, the concert vio- linist of the New York Symphony, and Harold Comfort, who had just won the National Saxophone Contest. Still bent on getting our money's worth and remaining as long as possible we were much surprised to see that Florence Jefferis and Morris Palmer were again starring in one of their famed features. Suddenly we were jolted into action by hearing the clock strike seven. Our train left at seven-five, so we sadly had to leave the town which we had all scoffed at twenty-five years ago. In this one city we had seen or heard of more of our schoolmates than we had in all the years since we had left old W. C. H. S. back in '28. —Dora Patterson, '28.

(Class lllill We. the Class of 1928, being sound in mind and firm in body, do hereby draw up our last will and testament, bequeath- ing our personal effects to the succeeding Senior class, the Class of 1929. This doc- ument is to take effect one minute after the last diploma is awarded on June the sev- enth, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, at which time we shall throw off our mantle of responsi- bility to our Alma Mater and shall depart from West Chester High School forever. We have taken care of those rights and privileges which have been bestowed upon us by former Senior classes and sincerely hope that the Class of 1929 will care equally tenderly for those rights and priv- i'eges which we are now bestowing upon them. I. We bequeath to the Class of '29 the most delightful privilege of being first in the lunch line. Underclassmen will try to thwart you at every turn, but turn not from the straight and narrow path leading to the cash register. II. We bequeath to the Class of '29 the crowning privilege of using the front steps unmolested. We earnestly request that you keep these steps absolutely free from loafers, noisy children, and would- be” Seniors. III. We bequeath to the Class of '29 the right to use the front seats in the aud- itorium. We hope that you will leave them not worse, but better, tighter, and more beautiful than they were left to us. IV. We bequeath to the Class of '29 the undisputed right to use Bl. B3 and B4, as attendance rooms. In them you are expected to act sanely and in a fittingly proper way. All dainty morsels are to be consumed in the lunch-room: they are not to grace the waste-paper baskets in these respective rooms. V. We bequeath to the Class of '29 the custom of Baby Day. It is suggested that you bribe the weather-man before that day, and that the day itself be duly observed with lolly-pops, mama” dolls, and piccadilly collars. VI. 4 o the Class of '29 we bequeath the logic of Burke, the horrors of Macbeth, and the beauties of Milton. May you profit by them as we have done. To various individuals of the Class of illimitable gratitude for their untiring efforts for four long years in tolerating and teaching us. To various individuals of the Class of '29 are bequeathed certain positions.

We owe it far too notable a debt For teaching us the best of things to set Before the lesser on fair Honor’s shrine. For giving us a heritage divine Of worth which knows no worldly gain get. Here chance acquaintances grew to friend- ship true, And ran along a swiftly-flowing stream Of waters fair, where friendship and es- teem Were often turned to love for one or two. Our mental eye enjoys now the view Of patient teachers, who to us have taught The higher life, and High School friends whom naught Could make less dear to you and me. Oh, wherefore weep with woe of what must be, 1 here still is time to sip from cups of joy. To think with pleasure sans alloy Of days and nights that brought to you and me Fair joys undreamed of. Days when we Played the game or watched with wild de- light Our schoolmates in a hard, clean, fight: Or spent in study with scholastic glee. Our fading glory hastens to its end. The deepening shadows grow and turn to one: Faintly upon the air strange rumors run Of future joys to be.

Did you know that there are a lot of Reds in this school? Yup. Ask the stu- dent with the report card. It was reported that some Seniors were required to make a cash deposit against breakage before having their pictures taken. Virginia Wells was much surprised when she found that her speech had Pan ’ned out so well. That front row flushed rosy red as a unit when Marie Tapper spoke of the size of their pedal extremities. A good many people staid away from the last party because it was a dance. Re- freshments were not served. “Tots Malin thinks his right-hand special delivery will be all right, if it brings him a letter. We have at last met somebody who, having been run over, still lives to tell the tale. There is no catch about this. Apply to John Zook for view of injured shin. There is no charge.

Why, of course! It’s Baby Day! How all we Seniors shall remember parading across the stage in short pants or dresses, with our dollies under our arms to the tune of laughter from the grown-up (?) Sophomores. A never-to-be-forgot- ten thought! Then, the parade being over, the judges announced the winners, and due rewards were given. The winners were—Kath- ryn Waltz, the perfect baby: Dolores Dur- nall, the prettiest baby: Evelyn Moore, the cutest baby: Charles Davis, the healthiest: Libby Rettew. the fattest. Dora Pat- terson and Virginia Wells tied for honors as the most active baby. So “childhood” had its day! Teachers were forced to endure babyishness and fool- ishness for a time. The Seniors have achieved their desire of four years to have Baby Day all their own. We appreciated the fun we had that day and give thanks for it. VAULES OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION An enlarged vocabulary of slang. A highly developed suppressed giggle. Curvature of spine from our favorite position in study hall. Ability to bluff. Latest styles in hair cuts. Singing ability developed through chapel. Being able to bear teasing with a grin.- Proper methods of gossip. Latest dance steps due to parties. THE BENEFIT OF A DIPLOMA To cover up an ink spot on wall paper. Use the ribbon to tie up treasured letters. To swat mosquitoes buzzing in the room. Let small brother use it as a bean shooter. Let small sister play “grown up” with it. To prove to others you’re “not so dumb.” SPRIG-AH! What brice leardig, 'Orace, Wed the roses bloob?

It is not only knowledge of sew- ing and cooking we receive, but of History, English. Biology, Chemistry and Science also. It is not the easiest class as most people think, because we have outside work on all these lessons. We have done quite a great deal for our school. We have baked cookies for Teas, made refreshments for Parties, pre- pared special dishes for the lunch room, made curtains for the chapel doors and costumes for plays. Also we have won prizes at the Play Festival for our cooking and sewing. Because we started with a large class and now. as Seniors, number only three, don’t think that the course is not interesting. If any of you have a chance to visit the Home Economics Department, take the opportunity. I know you will enjoy yourself. —Marguerite McVaugh, ’28. THE CARPENTER SHOP IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL When a student enters the Carpentry Shop, his first job is getting acquainted with the tools and the different kinds of wood. The progress of the student de- pends on his ability to handle the tools in a workmanlike manner. For the student to become acquainted with the tools he must start on elementary work, such as making the tie rack, book ends, and tabouret. The sharpening of the tools is important as the neatness of the finished product depends on the con- dition of the tool. These jobs continue to become more difficult in both tool pro- cess and the laying out of the problem until a house is built in the Senior year. THE GARNET AND WHITE 51 This house is built just the same as it is done in the building trade. The founda- tions are laid as in a real house, and there are two floors. You can readily see that the four years spent in the Industrial Scientific Course really gives one the fundamentals for his life's work as a tradesman. —Joe Ewing, '28. TOMORROW What will become of the boys of the Industrial Scientific Course tomorrow? It is a question in each one’s mind. Will they become successful men? At least everyone hopes so. No one knows just what help these boys will be to the nation. Some may be the best carpenters, or even great contractors. There are others, who may be at the head of the building trades—architects. These boys come from the wood department. The boys from the machine department will make some of the best mechanics. Some of those who are handy with car- pentry and machine work, may develop themselves as millwrights. The underclassmen give all their wishes and support to help the Seniors make to- morrow a success. —John McGlinchey, '28. OUR DEBT We, the Senior Class of the Industrial Scientific course, are now ready to com- plete our four year course from the West Chester High School. In the past years, we have accomplished some very nice pieces of work in the carpentry shop and drawing rom. which in later years we shall look back upon as the foundation, of whatever our success may be. We who graduate feel that our future success depends on and will be determined, by the good we have received from the lessons taught us by our vocational teach- ers. We now wish to thank those teachers who in past years have given us help. Al- though we feel greatly in debt to those who have helped us, we hope to repay them by becoming a success in whatever we undertake. —Frank Henderson, '28. VOCATIONAL DOINGS We are the vocational students: Our work will long remain When we ve finished our valuable course. And started on the road to fame. We've made things for every department— The scenery for all of the plays: I his gives us problems of decorating. Which we will encounter some day. We don’t know what good enough’’ means. Our work is always the best, We cannot expect to do a job half,” And later meet with success. We take Mechanical Drawing, Where we make blue-prints and plans— A study for people who are able To use their heads as well as their hands. Soon we shall leave the building. We are all very sorry to part, But once we get out on the job, We shall have success from the start. —W. Kimes, '28. THE WOOD SHOP GLORY The wood shop is a heavenly place To those who are learning there To build America of tomorrow. More perfect and more fair. No longer we stand down-trodden; We live the wide world through: Tho’ we work and play together. Still we are learning, too. We dance to the lights of the nation. With the ax that rings loud and long. And we cannot be unhappy When the hammer sings its song. We are the nation's builders. On yonder gleam we shall glide: When we’ve built the last sky-garden. We shall lay down our tools with pride. —Fred London. ’29. 52 THE GARNET AND WHITE Above—W. C. H. S. Cross-County Team Below—W. C. H. S. Football Team THE GARNET AND WHITE 53 Ahov—W. C. H. S.

It is an old club in the school and one of the best. Although it does not meet regularly, it is very active. The work of the club is carried on in the Art Department under the supervision of Miss Johnson. Only those who are tak- ing elective art and who maintain an aver- age of eighty-five or more are members. Now you may see the sketches. They are many and all masterpieces. The first was made at Christmas time when the Art Club cooperated with the Music Club and decorated the stage for the Christmas can- tata. They put on a very lovely tableau, ‘‘Holy Night,” posed by Louise Windle. When the school play, Peg O’ My Heart,” came around, there was a call for the second sketch. This was a real and not a figurative one in that the Art Club painted the scenery for the play. Later the third sketch was made. It was the time for Art Club to entertain in chapel. One of the most delightful pro- grams of the year was given in the form of three life pictures posed by some of the students. The remaining sketches were in the line of services to the school and to the com- munity. We have not entered anv poster contests, but we have made posters for the Community Drive, for the Flower Show and for our own track meet. The Sophomore emblem was designed this year by Violet Bostelle, and was worked up for the manufacturer by Harry Yerkes and Joseph Schlegel. Two mem- bers of the club, George Woodward and Malcolm Dewees developed a membership card for the West Chester Teachers Assoc- iation. The purpose of the club is to create in school and among people a finer sense and appreciation of art and to show them the harmony and rhythm of it. Beautv is very easy to find if we look for it with eyes that are attuned to beauty. Members of the Art Club are always glad to cooperate with other departments of the school to develop programs, and we hope you will cooperate with us to create harmony, good taste, and beauty in the community as well as in the school. —Elizabeth Rettew, Pres. '28. THE SCIENCE CLUB On Friday evening. January 27, the members of the Science Club, which wai organized in 1921, met in C-l for the purpose of electing the officers for the year. The results of the election were as follows: President. Harold Comfort: Vice Pre i- dent. Malcolm Dewees: Secretary. Dorothy Butler: Assistant Secretary, Virginia Smith: Treasurer. Prof. Lewis M. Prutz- man: Publicity Agent, Gilbert H. Pyle: Librarian. Evelyn Moore; Sergeant-at- Arms. Bayard Poyntz. At the February meeting Mr. Paul Kirk, a platinum expert from the platinum plant at Malvern, gave us a very interesting ta'k on the history and uses of platinum. He made his talk doubly interesting by show- ing us several samples of platinum and platinum products. On March 50 Dr. Howard Y. Pennell, x-ray specialist at the Chester County Hos- pital, told us of the relation of x-rays to medicine. He illustrated his talk by showing us several interesting x-ray pho- tographs. An x-ray tube, which he had brought with him, was examined by all of th? members. Upon leaving, h very kindly donated this tube to our Science Department. At the termination of his talk four members of the club gave us some musical selections on their banjos and har- monicas. These meetings have certainly been very educational as well as interesting, and I am sure that in future years this club will become a permanent institution of this school. —Harold Comfort. ’28. 58 THE GARNET AND WHITE DRAMATIC CLUB NOTES The sight of our new stage put lots of pep into us, last fall, and we were eager to begin Dramatic Club as soon as school be- gan. It wasn't nearly so bad to give the required speech for membership this year, for there was the thrill of being on the new stage for the first time. This year a great deal has been accomp- lished. First there was the one act play, Op O My Thumb.” Charlotte Roth- rock, the star, was supported by Rudolph Johnson, Elizabeth Rettew, Virginia Wells, Marie Tapper and Louise Windle. The play was given for the benefit of Junior High. Our big success was “Peg O My Heart.” Again Charlotte Rothrock was heroine. The rest of the cast consisted of Florence Jefferis, Elizabeth Rettew, Dorothy Dar- lington. Richard Bleecker, William Miller, Edward Walter, Carlton Suplee and Bay- ard Poyntz. By this play we earned enough money to buy some much-needed properties for the stage. We also gave plays for the school parties and the Home and School League. There were many interesting presentations at the meetings. Of course we don’t all expect to become George Arlisses, but we feel that we have really accomplished something this year. We have gained experience and poise. Our school has gone far in the four years since our club was formed; it will keep on improving and next year we shall have better productions and more people will come out to get this experience. —Louise Windle, Sec., '28. Scenes from “Peg O' My Heart,” 1928 THE GARNET AND WHITE 59 FRENCH CLUB ”Le Cercie Franyais has succeeded in its desire for a thoroughly successful year. It has grown and thrived throughout the entire year. Not once has a meeting fallen below the place of the preceding one. A series of short comedies and one act plays was given this year. In some cases the students in the play were coached by a member of the student body. In one case the scenes given were written and also coached by a member of the club. We have played French games and have sung French songs in all our meetings. It has been educational as well as entertaining to sing these “petits chansons.” The meetings which were held near the date of a holiday were especially arranged to fit the occasion, and our Christmas meeting is one that will be remembered for a long time. —Virginia Wells. '28. CLASSICAL CLUB Membership in the Classical Club is a privilege to the Senior Classical students. Sometimes, if the work of the Junior stu- dents is exceptionally good, the favor is extended to them. The Senior Club, “Romani Hodierni,” (Romans of Today) has held several in- teresting meetings. In these meetings the customs and the interests of the Roman people are brought before us. Our meet- ings usually bear on something classical in nature that we have just studied. The thing which is probably the great- est of all interests of the club is our forth- coming magazine, “The Lingulaca.” This number of the paper is to be printed; much credit and many thanks are to be given to the school board for the financial assistance they have given us. Every member of the “Romani Hodierni” feels it is his duty to write an article for the paper and looks for- ward to its publication with much interest. “Romani Hodierni” feels that it has had a very successful year. —Virginia Wells, Scribe, ’28. HISTORY CLUB This year the History Club was reor- ganized on the plan of a city government, and so we have a Mayor and a Council, Olive Eastburn being our first Mayor. The most interesting thing about our club this year is that we have accomplished successfully in every way the four main projects we had planned to undertake. First: We have given short appropriate chapel exercises on each historical holiday, if only to tell the meaning of the day or to explain a little about the unusual ones. Our Thanksgiving program was especially interesting, for the Citizens sang parts of one of the Puritan hymns followed by tab- leaux taken from four popular paintings of the Pilgrims. Second: We have made a number of original researches with regards to histor- ical places of interest around West Chester. The following reports of the accomplish- ments of this committee were given at var- ious meetings by different citizens of the club: “Ye Olde Green Tree Inn,’’ “The Brandywine and Indian Legends,” “The Court House,” “The First Schools in West Chester,” and History of our Science De- partment.” We have found these reports extremely interesting and instructive. It was suggested that the research material be put into a booklet and donated to the school library for future reference, as well as to keep a record of the achievements of this year's club. Third: We have presented a dramatic production in chapel entitled “Washing- ton and Betsy Ross” which was one of the most outstanding accomplishments of the club. Much credit is due Miss Mahy for the success of the play, as well as the Stage and Costume Committees. Fourth: We have taken a pilgrimage to Frederick. Md., Harper's Ferry, Antiet- am Battlefield, and Gettysburg. We en- joyed an informal banquet at Rose Hill Manor, once the home of Thomas Jeffer- son, staying over night at this historical old mansion. Since this year has been such a prosper- ous one, we hope that next year and in all succeeding years to come, the citizens of the History Club may accomplish many more things and always make this club a valuable asset to our High School. —Ruth Hippie, Clerk, '28. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club has made con- siderable progress this year and has be- come firmly founded since its organization the latter part of last year. It has certainly been a very flourishing and worth-while organization to all its members, being a social as well as an educational club. The purpose of this club is to bring its members in closer touch with the business world. Many valuable and interesting programs were planned by the students on the Program Committee which were thor- oughly enjoyed by everyone. Much en- 60 THE GARNET AND WHITE thusiasm has been shown at the meetings among the different classes when such ac- tivities as spelling bees and typewriting contests were held. The spelling bees have enabled students to become more pro- ficient in spelling, which is absolutely essential in the Commercial world: while the typing contests have prepared students for our county contest in the Spring of the year. Another feature of our pro- grams was the reports of the accomplish- ment of the research workers. Different members made trips to the following bus- iness firms in West Chester: Daily Local News.” “Chester Valley Lines.” “Jacobs Mushroom Plant.” Hoopes Bros. Darlington.” and “The Fruit Growers Association” and reported their observa- tions at the club meetings. We have had several prominent business men of West Che-ter speak to us about th? different methods bv which business can bp carried on and the qualities they con- sider most essential in a good worker. Mr. J. Marshall Pierce gave a very interesting and inspiring ta'k on What the Business Man Expect0 of the High School Grad- uate” and Mr. Ratchford. County Super- visor of Agriculture, talked on High School Preparation for Life.” Our biggest feature of the year was the presentation in chanel of “Diogen's Looks for a Secretary.” The success of the play was due to the spirit and splendid cooper- ation of those who took part. A very attractive pin has also been chosen to rep rerent the club with the lettering Commer- cial Club around the outside and West Chester High School in the center. Attendance at thr meetings has b en very satisfactory, thus showing interes' on 'he part of the whole department in its activ- ities. May the Commercial Club prove as successful, interesting, and beneficial to its members in future years as it has been to us. —Ruth Hippie, Sec'y, ’28. SENIOR CLASS NOTES The Seniors have been feeling quite im- portant lately with all their expecta'ions and preparations for graduation. There has been a continual drive for class dues and as a result we have $145 in the treas- ury. A gift committee has been appoint- ed which consists of Gertrude Matthews, Helen Darlington, Lillian Anderson, Carl Brosch. and Edgar Parker. These people are to decide upon the gift which the Class of 1928 will give to High School. This year the graduation exercises will be held in the Philips Memorial. Each Senior will receive fifteen tickets instead of the usual seven or eight. On the day of the Joseph S. Evans' Con- test the Seniors took all the honors. Vir- ginia Wells won first prize and Marie Tapper second prize. If you had seen the two winners a few days before, you would not have known they were capable of saying anything but baby talk. Indeed, the Seniors made a fine class of babies, and we were sorry that it was not baby iveek instesd of baby day. The Seniors r.alize that their time is getting short and apprec- iate their High School days more than ever. —Florence Jefferis, '28. THE JUNIOR CLASS When we look back upon our Junior year in High School, we can feel that we have accomplished many things, not to mention having had a good time. In the way of activities we have been quite suc- cessful: but then, as somebody said in Geometry class, “Maybe I shouldn't ha e mentioned about those angles,” just sa maybe we shouldn’t even mention about our successes. Although we have not had many class meetings, we shall have plenty of these to occupy our thoughts next year. We have had a good turn-out at all the parties, and almost everyone has learned to dance, or is willing to try it anyway. When we have gained much more knowledge and have a few ancient Senior customs to round us out, we shall be as good a Senior class as any. We've al- ready picked out some prize-winners for next year’s Baby Day Parade. And when next June comes 'round, may '29 leave as pleasant a memory to those left behind as '28 is leaving for us. May our best dreams come true because we have learned how to strive for them. Always “success comes in cans, failures in can'ts —Elizabeth Scattergood, '29. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The purpose of the Soph more Class meetings was to discuss various problems concerning the Sophomore Class. At one of our meetings we elected various officers: at another we practiced cheering. In the month of January a meeting was called regarding the Sophomore party. Many things were discussed and voted upon: for instance, when and where to hold the party, at the Century Club or the Gym- THE GARNET AND WHITE 61 Above—W. C. H. S. Band. 1927-1928 Beloiv—W. C. H. S.

Miss Hoffmeier assisted with the plans for the party, and everyone helped to make it a success. Our last meeting, which was held on March 27th, was called to order by our President, and much business concerning the extra page in the GARNET AND WHITE was dis- cussed. Miss Hoffmeier explained the cost for the extra pages for reading material and cartoons. Several wanted a class picture, but there was a majority vote for the reading material and cartoons. A committee was appointed by the President to prepare this material for the GARNET AND WHITE. The Sophomore pennants were discussed. Our meetings were always called when any business arose concerning school affairs and activities. Everyone helped to make our Sophomore Class meetings successful and worthwhile. The Sophomore staff consists of: Miss Hoffmeier, Mr. Hutton. Mr. Best, Joseph Barber, President: Lionel Jackson, Vice President: Rebecca Patter- son, Secretary; Russell Jones, Treasurer. ASSEMBLY NOTES 7IiAT THE COOPERATIVE COUNCIL DOES (An Answer) During this year the Student Council has worked with zeal and intent for the good of the students of the school. Sug- gestions have been made by the students and considered at the meetings of the Council. One of the things that the Council has accomplished this year is the sale of writ- ing paper. The General Association loaned us the money for the purchase, as the Cooperative Council has no treasury. The suggestion of having a student re- porter for the local newspaper was dis- cussed and subsequently carried out. The class lieutenants have been selected through the Cooperative Council, as well as the monitors in the halls. Study rooms for those that wish to study during lunch periods and Seniors to take charge of them have been provided for. Parties have been discussed by us from the point of view of helping by cooperation. A trip was made by members of the Council to Coatesville High School on February the 14th. The suggestions they brought back with them resulted directly in the election of a boy and a girl from each class in addition to those already on the Council to represent those classes. Sug- gestions from other schools resulted in further changes during the year, such as the appointment of committees, of which we now have four in full working order. These permanent committees are: the Traffic, the Social Affairs, the Cleanliness, and the Chapel Program Committees. A committee was appointed to work on Rules for Organization and Operation, and the finished product, having been ac- cepted by the Council, was read to the stu- dent body. The Social Affairs Committee has lately aided in the arrangements for the final school party. The year, on the whole, has been a suc- cessful and profitable one. The members of the Council continue to advise the stu- dents to present their suggestions to the Council that represents them. They hope that the Council next year may carry on with zeal the work that they have thus far advanced towards better cooperation throughout the school. —William E. Miller. ’28.

They call it Commencement. It is the begin- ning of big things for them. But June is also the commencement of all the world. June is the glorious coming-out month of all the beautiful debutantes of nature. The roses lord it over all the lesser beauties. The rose is the belle of the ball. For June is one mad dance of beauty. It seems as if spring had gotten into the blood of nature, and she had become prodigal, extravagant. The soft emerald green of the grass is a glorious carpet. The great shafts of the tree trunks are pillars which hold up the roof, heaven. The whole world is the ballroom. Mother Earth her- self is there as a chaperon. She is decked in her best. Sparkling rivers make her a necklace, more precious than diamonds, with a waterfall here and there as a pen- dant. With the arrival of the rose the dance is on. Only twice each day is there a pause. Once is at dusk. It descends like purple smoke, and all the dancers pause a moment content to rest and drink in the beauty and the mystery of the world in which they are. Only the fire-fly moves about lighting its lantern. The flowers breathe out a perfume more subtle than at any other hour. When God made June, He put in as a special blessing the hour of dusk. After a night of wild revelry the stars, which light the world of night pa'e, and the dancers tire. Then comes the dawn, the hour when the world thanks God for night and beauty and day. The flowers and trees drink refreshment and leave a little dew on their petals to gladden the passerby. When God made June, He put in as a final blessing the hour of dawn —Commencement of the world. —Mary McGinn, ’29. OUR RESPONSIBILITY Though we have practically completed a year of hard labor, and incidentally are about to become Seniors, let the Juniors of the Class of 1929 continue their good work. During the past year, to say noth- ing of preceding years, our Class has achieved not a few laurels. Among the most noteworthy of these are the victories car- ried away by Juniors in the D. W. Mer- edith Speaking Contest for Boys. Juniors have become prominent in athletic lines also, gaining positions on the various Var- sity teams and making fine records. And as to literary prowess, the Junior Class has done much for our school-paper, the Garnet and White and also for our Latin paper, the Lingulaca. Next year, when we once more return to the dear old halls of West Chester High, we shall, as a whole, be Seniors.—Seniors, who must lead in all High School activ- ities: the followers of this year must be the leaders next year: our example will be followed, and this example must be equal to the high standard which has been set both in the Class of ’28. and in the High School. We have set a standard and have in past years lived up to it: therefore, let us live up to and. if possible, above this standard as Seniors—for soon we shall be not Seniors but citizens of our country! Then our training will show, and we shall well be proud to have done what we did as Juniors and as Seniors in West Chester High School. —William A. Dowlin, ’29. SENIORS SOON Juniors, it seems rather difficult to realize that next year we shall be the leaders of our school: and yet it is very true. At the present time some of us perhaos feel a little too childish to make dignified Junior Class. West Chester High School. 1927-1 0 28 THE GARNET AND WHITE 67 Seniors.” But we have two long months in which to “grow up.” We have been regular “Jolly Juniors,” taking things easily this year. Now in September we must return with a different feeling. Our Seniors from “departing hands” are throwing us the torch.” It is surely our duty to “hold it high,” and we can and will do it. This is the spirit we shall need. With this as our goal, we cannot fail. Let’s do our very best! —Louise Boulden, '29. DON’T GIVE UP Several months ago, there appeared on the library door a poster with the follow- ing inscription: “Failure is the only thing attained without effort.” To succeed, one must finish what he has started, if it is' worthwhile. Take a race, for instance. Many a runner has lost only because he quit too soon. In a race you are often tempted to stop. But something tells you not to give up. Don’t get discouraged because you didn't come in first or make the team: put your heart into the next race and win. —John Stevenson, ’29. THE «HOPE-TO-BE” SENIORS Ray for the “hope-to-be” Seniors! We know they are going to be fine. For they've strength, and they’ve pep, and they’ve numbers. Have the Class of Nineteen Twenty-nine. If you’re not inclined to believe us, Just look at their feats in the past, They have won most things they have entered From the first clear through to the last. They have in their class Janith Conrad, Who can sing, and Frank Baird who can run. And also Elizabeth Scattergood. Who can spell just as though it were fun. To hear our “Ediths” play the piano Is as good as to hear Jimmie speak; While to watch the Juniors at a school track meet Is a thing you’ll remember all week. So all hail to these “hope-to-be” Seniors Who are going to be right in front line With those other fine High School leaders Who preceded our Nineteen Twenty-nine. —Margaret Kievan, ’29.

And he had to collect the mon,” He went to a dame His rent to claim, And she handed him a “bun.” MY TROUBLE I am worried about a certain thing: So the question before you I'll bring If upon a horse nettle A wasp should settle Which would be the first to sting? WE JUNIORS When we were tiny Freshmen, Not very long ago, We thought we were quite snappy, And really shouldn’t grow To be big upperclassmen And always “run” the show. But when we all were Sophomores, It really was too bad The way we ran around the halls As if it were the fad, And stamped our feet upon the floor To make the teachers mad. And now that we are Juniors, It almost is a shame: We think that all the rest are wrong When we are in the game; I don’t know how 'twill be next year, When we have won our fame, I guess, no matter what we are. We’ll always feel the same. —Janith Conrad, ’29. THE WAY IT’S DONE Mr. Hale—“What’s your name?” Gordon Whitcraft—“Gordon Whit- craft.” Mr. H.—“Detention for 45 minutes.” Gordon—“Gee, two nights straight.” Mr. H.—“Detention for 90 minutes.” Gordon—“Gee, three nights straight.” Mr. H.—“Detention for one week.” Gordon—(Silence). 68 THE CARNET AND WHITE Cut THE GARNET AND WHITE 69 ACTION Four-year-old Joe today by noon Had drunk up someone's best perfume, Had swallowed mother’s diamond ring, And still was happy as a king. By two he’d cut off all his hair, Had been kicked by an angered mare, Had made the cat eat Paris Green, And still his zest for life was keen. i At four his mother took him out, He tripped an old man who had gout. He fell into the swimming pool, And rose from thence a wiser fool. i But with his careless little heel, He stepped on a banana peel, He fell upon his hairless head, And now, O joy, he’ll stay in bed. —Elizabeth Scattergood.

One day Pride stumbled over Happiness, “What is this in my way?” she asked. “If you would look down you could see me,” was the answer. There is the light of immortal beauty glowing from your eyes,” sighed the bankrupt suitor to the ugly heiress. “Are you sure it doesn't come from my diamond earrings?” she asked innocently.

The walls seem covered with diamonds That catch the sun’s bright beams, And the wanderer's eyes are dazzled By this beautiful Palace of Dreams. And many have sought to attain it, As it glows like a distant star; But few have ever achieved it By its routes, which hardships bar. For the winding trail is rocky— The climb o’er the peaks is steep; The wind and the rain rage in fury, And the turbulent rivers are deep. But the Spirit of Youth will conquer Where others failed to wend, And the Pot O' Gold will be waiting There, at the rainbow’s end. And he who has entered the Palace, Will tell of the treasures to you Who hope to make that journey To the land where dreams come true. —Esther Walker, ’29. Soplumum' ADVICE TO '31 OR STRATAGEMS OF STRIVING SOPHOMORES Give thanks, read, and inwardly digest. Here is your Blackstone! Young people’s conduct during second year. Firstly: Inspect with critical eyes your schedule, and, if it is not absolutely sat- isfactory, raise a loud row among the faculty. Then, if you still are a little peeved, abide by the higher decision or take it to the Supreme Court. Secondly: Form an offensive and crash through halls until you find your class room. If you are reproved by a monitor, use your own judgment. Thirdly: In shop, cut hair after Hall- owe’en and get on the Honor Roll. In Biology, write your outlines befcre time. In Geometry, when demonstrating a theorem, swing pointer in full or semi- circle—never three quarters. A sharply, flowing, vertical motion is permissible. Re- member that Quad Erat Demonstrandum will finish up strongly a poor rendering of a proposition, but it should be given in a firm, confident, decisive tone of voice accompanied with a stare that silences all questions. Fourthly: We now come to the Lunch line. During the first month be prudent. There is a tendency to curtail the right of free motion in the lunch line. Fifthly: The auditorium was origin- ally meant for study, but it was remodeled last year and your entire attention should be given to giving it again its old atmos- phere and tradition. In one corner there were traces of the battle in which a lone Yankee fought off thirteen Indians. Many public-spirited students have lovingly helped to replace the quaint indentations of the walls. Do your bit, too. Sixthly: Remember that experience is the best teacher. Disregard these laws, follow your own inclinations. Remem- ber. also, that “Aide-toi, le ciel t’ aidera.” —Charles Congdon, ’30. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL When the call for candidates for the Class basketball was heard, the Sopho- mores responded with a will. The first night of practice there were about fifteen boys out for the team. Most of these stayed out for the whole season. ”Chiz” Hickman, center of the W. C. H. S. team, was coaching the team. Under his tutel- age the team won the Class championship defeating the Seniors. Juniors and Grade IX. The boys that received letters were Joseph Schlegel (capt), Fred Bicking. Thomas Sicoli, Morris Slifken, Joseph Shur, Laurence Woodward, Stanley Smith. William Burnett, Loretto Spaziani and Joseph Barber. —Joseph Barber, ’30. Harry Lasko had his fountain pen in his mouth.

It's faint at first, and fainter grows, I cannot understand The meaning; then at last it rose To give me this command. “Be cheerful, happy, glad, and gay And work for things worthwhile; If you don't play the hours away You’ll reach your dreamed-of isle.’’ —Vera Lawton, ’30. THE OUT-PUT OF JUNE The Freshmen are so lucky; The Freshmen should be gay, They’ve gotten through their “razzing’’ year, Seniors they'll be—some day. The Sophomores should be happy: The Sophomores should “Hooray ”, They’re nearer being Seniors Than they were the first of May. Juniors, go shout and “holler’’ On this commencement day. You’re “commencing” to be Seniors In a high and mighty way. But Seniors—they must sigh and weep; For graduating they must pay, 'Cause they’re ousted from their places. They’re Alumni—sad to say. —Nell Bleecker, ’30. THE SOPHOMORE MOVIE STARS “The Sheik”............

The game was a closely contested one. but miraculously he took the ball away from his opponents and played it down the field.

Bitter tears will be shed—I know: But we can’t be slackers and get good marks, too— It pays to do well all things that we do. —Harriet West, Grade VIII. 74 THE GARNET AND WHITE Above—W. C. H. S.

Say good-bye. O noble Seniors, To your school and teachers all; Come again and see us, Seniors: Walk again along the halls. I Oh, forget not, worthy Seniors, Your dear Alma Mater fair; Let your hearts be ever with her Working, playing, everywhere. —Augusta A. Spickler, Grade VIII. ATHLETIC PROWESS OF JUNIOR HIGH The Junior High had a very successful Football Season, winning every game but one, which was a tie with the strong Upper Darby Junior High. Coach Shaf- fer put out a team which held up the tra- dition of the year before, that of not los- ing a game. We can safely say that this season's football team started the basket- ball team off to a successful season which ended in winning the championship. We have had a fine athletic start this year, winning the championship in both foot- ball and basketball. THE ANNUAL HOME AND SCHOOL LEAGUE MEETING The Annual Home and School League Meeting was held April 26, 1928. in the High School Auditorium. It was opened by a play, The Florist Shop,” presented by members of Senior High under the direction of Miss Watson. This was very much enjoyed by everyone. The cast was: Maud ............. Virginia Wells Henry ................ John Zook Slavsky .......... Lawrence Shank Miss Wells...........Louise Windle Mr. Jackson ...........Jack Pechin The business was then taken up with Mrs. Highley presiding and Mrs. Johnson as secretary. After the reports of the various centers, Mr. Philips introduced Dr. DeLong of Penn State College as speaker. The latter explained many problems which arise in school life. He also told several stories to illustrate his point. —Tillie Sheneman, Grade VIII. ATHLETICS The school helps us grow not only mentally but also physically because of its athletic training. Every class has gym- nasium periods in which we are taught marching, work on the horse and parallel bars, high jumping, and basketball throw- ing. There is an athletic club that goes for hikes, and works on the apparatus. Base- ball, track, and hockey are other athletic sports enjoyed by many. The Junior High School has won a banner because of its football victories, and a silver cup because of its success in basket- ball. —Elizabeth Schwalm, Grade VII. SHOP WORK In West Chester the boys have shop work for the first time in seventh grade. When we, the seventh grade boys, be- gan the work we were first shown how to use and sharpen tools, and were given a talk concerning wood. The first project undertaken was the making of a tie rack, the second a book rack, and the third, a twenty-inch taboret. Other and more difficult projects were later undertaken: flower boxes, bird houses, square lamps, tool chests, and boats. All of us boys feel that we have had both a pleasant and a profitable time in this work. Grade VII Boys. OUR CLUB In the Amateur Author Club we had a very successful season. We held many interesting contests for both the girls and the boys. One of the contests held at the beginning was a poem contest. The win- ners were Dorothy Sill for the girls, and John Barry for the boys. Another con- test we had was an original poem or orig- inal story contest. The last contest is to be a story writing contest. Then, to close our season gaily, we are going to have a party. —Doris Rosenberg, Grade VII.

It is not only that an alumnus letter is inter- esting and aids us in picking out our car- eers, but it is also a proof that those who have graduated are still interested in West Chester High School. This month we have a letter from a last year's graduate who is now attending George School. Dear Friends of West Chester High School, I have been asked by your Alumni Edi- tor to tell you something about George School. I could write for a long time on such a broad subject, but I naturally must limit my leter. I will try to give you a brief account of George School life. George School is situated in the heart of Bucks County and is a boarding school with an enrollment of about three hundred and fifty. There are two courses, the col- lege preparatory and the short curriculum. The school year is divided into three terms—Fall, Winter and Spring. In the fall the boys take up either soccer or foot- ball. In the winter term, basketball, box- ing, wrestling and gym are offered. Base ball, tennis, and track are taken up in the Spring. Some form of athletics is com- pulsory for all boys and girls. The days when no athletic classes are held, each stu- dent must spend some time out of doors. We also have a toboggan slide with six toboggans. It is about twenty-five feet high, and one is able to coast across the campus for about a quarter of a mile. The Senior class this year had a toboggan party which proved a great success. The Seniors also had a dance given by the faculty. Every Saturday night we have dancing class. The school dance orchestra plays at this affair. After the dance some sort of entertainment is given in the Assembly room. Sometimes it is a play, sometimes a movie or a musical recital. I think the programs put on by the students are most enjoyed. In the dining room four boys and four girls sit at each table. A girl and boy act as table heads. The boys wait on the tables, taking turns as food is needed. There are seven former West Chester High School students here at George School at the present time. In the Senior Class are Eleanor and Edna Pusey, Roger Hoopes, and Alger Whitcraft. In the Sophomore Class are, Roma Knight, Elsa Kerlin and Howard Miller. Taking everything into consideration, I like George School second best to West Chester High. Wishing you all continued success, Alger Whitcraft, ’27. Announcement has been made of the election of Robert Warnock, of West Ches- ter, Pa., as a member of the University of Pennsylvania chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic honor fraternity. Warnock was one of six members of the Junior Class of the college to win recogni- tion for distinguished achievement in the field of scholarship. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Warnock, 134 E. Chest- nut Street, and is a member of the Philo- mathean Society of the University, the old- est college literary society in the country, having been founded in 1813. Prior to entering the University of Pennsylvania. Warnock attended the West Chester High School where he was president of the Dra- matic Club, Science Club and of the His- torv. Latin and Spanish Clubs. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prominent of the scholastic honor societies found in American colleges and universi- ties. It was founded at William and Mary College, in 1776, and recently cel- ebrated its 150th anniversary. The Uni- versity of Pennsylvania chapter, to which Warnock has just been elected a member, is the fourth chapter to have been estab- lished. That scholastic achievement and active participation in campus life are not incompatible, is revealed in the recent elec- tions to Phi Beta Kappa at the University. Among those chosen were Robert F. Brown, editor-in-chief of the Punch Bowl, the student humorous magazine, head col- umnist of the Pennsylvanian, the student daily paper, and a star of the Mask and Wig Show for the past two years; Thomas G. Gates, manager of football, and Walter W. Beachboard, captain of the fencing team and winner of the 1927 Merrick Prize in Dramatics. THE GARNET AND WHITE 77 Louise indle. Editor I have just collected all the comments on the Garnet and White to see if we have really progressed this year in the opinion of others. Nearly all the com- ments are those of approval. When we are working hard, trying to find material, these comments are very much appreciated. There were very few adverse criticisms this year. Several magazines thought we should have a separate poetry department, but we think that stories and poems belong together. The list of Exchanges for this year is very long. Many have come from dis- tant parts of the country. We have read and commented on as many as possible, but we are not given any too much space in the GARNET AND WHITE each month. There is not room to comment on all. We tried to overcome this obstacle somewhat by devoting one issue to news- papers only, and we gave a general com- ment on what we liked to find in them. Many of the newspapers are fine: some of them show the spirit of the school even more than do the magazines. Among our new exchanges are papers and magazines from Washington State. California. Oregon. Louisiana, Maine. Texas, and many other far away places. They come from all corners of the United States to exchange opinions and methods. The value of this department is often under rated. People think that a greater number of jokes and stories might be more to their liking. A well-rounded magazine like a four square person must try not to be lopsided. Our Exchange is the only way we have of learning what people all over the country think of us. The opinion of our classmates is biased, but that of strangers who can't know the staff is unprejudiced. They are really helpful. One of our responsibilities as Seniors has been the editing of the GARNET AND WHITE. For three years we read the magazine and offered our contributions to the editors. We probably had our own thoughts on what was wrong in its make- up. This year has been our chance to “try out our bright ideas. We have found how great a task it is to get together enough good contributions each month. During all the year we have tried to make it the best magazine possible. We thank all our Exchanges for sending us their magazines and papers. We have appreciated the comments. We hope that next year all the schools that have sent their issues in the past will remember us and continue to exchange. We wish you all the best of luck for next year and every succeeding year. H’trnfroi Our last adventure in High School has b en undertaken: our last task has ended. Upon entering our Senior year, we had many ideals and ideas, and in a measurj we have accomplished what we had set out to do, but we have had numerous ob- stacles in our way and many disappoint- ments to conquer. Our success this year has been due to many things. First of all, there are our advertisers who backed us financially and who we hope have benefited from their advertising. We thank them and also those who contributed complimentary ad- vertisements in this our Commencement number. We thank the faculty for the advice and the helpful suggestions which they have given from time to time. We thank those magazines and papers from other schools whose criticisms have guided us to a certain extent. The student body has helped by handing in material for the Garnet and White, and last of all the students on the staff have gotten the material in shape for our school magazine. We were unfortunate this year in losing our editor at a crucial moment when we needed a steady hand at the wheel, but we thank our former editor for the excellent beginning she gave us and for the sugges- tions which she never failed to offer. We are glad that we have had some part in this important function of our school life, that we have had the real companionship which comes only to those who have worked together, met hardships and success together. To our school we can say only, “Thank you. We have done our best. Farewell.” —The Editor. 78 THE GARNET AND WHITE j utagrapljs THE GARNET AND WHITE 79 CnmjjJimcitiary |Cist of rietths of Cljc (Sanu't aitit Jlilliitr Walter L. Philips B. Reed Henderson Elizabeth N.
