Shall we remember that life yields at last, To give the gentle, weary traveller rest? Oh, yes. Thou, Alma Mater, taught us this, That life must always find our heads unbowed, Thine own great virtue now is given to us, Courage to meet temptation, eyes front, proud. And though we’re young, and life seems fair and good. We’ll not forget thy standard in our need. All honor to thy precepts, Alma Mater; We’ll strive always to love and live thy creed. The years shall find us serving, unafraid, For service was thy purpose, and is still More ours. With us we take the memory of thy strength. Today we lift Life’s silver cup to fill. Elizabeth D. Scattergood, ’29. 2 The Garnet and White Staff 1928-1929 i grayer tn i luta itfater “One of the most important things in life is to lie a good sport. ” (), Alma Mater, you who have taught us such happy lessons, who have guided us over the rough places, he with us in the after years, that we may not forget sportsmanship. Our love for you now is like a bright, sweet flame. It is inevitable that Time will make that flame dwindle a little; we shall always honor it, keeping it burning on the altars of our hearts. We are experi- encing for the first time the sorrow that hundreds of others have felt before us. We break the old love ties and offer ourselves, perhaps a bit unwilling, to the new claims. It is this that hurts, the parting of the ways, the finality of the farewell to classmates and Alma Mater. We have felt it coming; we are not unprepared. And now when we hear clearly the bitter sweet call of life, the call which none of us, however weak, can evade, we go forth alone, our tears forced back beneath the proud exterior of youth. As we throw aside our dependency and begin to decide for ourselves, keep before us, Alma Mater, the shield of sportsman- ship. Life has much to teach us that we could not learn in High School; but here we have learned our first great lesson to be good sports. You have taught so much of inestimable value; you have been strong where we were weak, and we have learned to be strong; you have been wise where we were foolish, and we have realized our mistakes. (), will we be worthy of you? Time alone can answer. If we rise unfraid after each blow, if we overcome the ob- stacles still with the light of hope in our eyes, if we are filled with kindness for humanity, then indeed we will have proved ourselves worthy. Have faith in us, Alma Mater. The most of us will measure up. It is with mingled feelings that we stand now at the cross-roads. Before us stretches the unknown, the untried; and there is always an adventure in attempting the new. Behind us, without doubt we leave the happiest days of our lives. Never again will there be such gloriously happy times as High School days. But we must achieve; youth must always go on. In- evitably must come responsibility. Some of us go on to college; we accept a new Alma Mater new, but with the old standards, the old ideals. They are the same the world over, the standards that youth sets for itself. Some of us go immediately to join the army of workers. Here again we must remember that life is taking our measure, that we must keep our high honor. It is the first blow to our pride to realize that next year the school will go on with- out us, to know that we are only another Senior ('lass, leaving those behind us per- haps a little better for our presence during four years. It is the pride of youth that possesses us. Let us turn our pride to use. We go to meet life “splendid as an army with banners.” Never will a soldier in such an army turn in flight. Never will the banners be torn or lowered. Let us demon- strate that we are capable of good sports- manship, that the great virtue of our Alma Mater shines through us unsullied toothers. All of us have a bit of fatalism in our make-up. We believe that somewhere there is a special niche that we alone were born to fill. As Commencement draws near, timidly we turn toward the fulfill- ment. With our comrades we approach the first milestone; from there we must go on alone. Think of us then, Alma Mater, as remembering that you taught us strength and truth and sportsmanship. Time can never quite extinguish the flame of our love for you and our reverence. So be it. We kneel for a long moment at your shrine. We go now. 4 Elizabeth D.

GEORGE BLOUNT Classical Sunset “ Ever ready with a merry joke. He's sure to cure your blues. Class Basketball III, IY; Class Track III. “Rosie” loves every letter in Latin. To balance this passion we have his sunny disposition. His teachers verify this statement. If there’s any trouble in the classroom, our “Rosie” is in the midst. His outstanding trait is his lack of seriousness. Many of us would like to be with him when he grows serious next year at State Teachers College, where he plans to make a special studv of languages.

'29 JlK'st (Eljester iiitjh J rljnul So long ago we came unto thy halls, And sought, W est Chester High, to gain from thee That Art for which fair Minerva stands— Sweet Learning, vast as is the mystic sea. We scarce can praise enough, oh noble School, The lessons thou hast taught to every- one, That each might profit by some error made And find his work upon some distant Sun. And now that Time has swiftly fled away, And vanished in a veil those years with thee. We stand alone, without thy guiding hand, Uncertain of the Life that is to be. But may thou e’er be with us as of old, And lead us in the paths of famous men; Ah, be for us a gleaming Beacon Light, Until at last we reach the rainbow’s end. Esther Walker, ’29. Jicune J gamst an luhirtiurut “Listen, my children, and you shall hear of a Tuesday morning, bleak and drear.” So begins this modern chronicle. The said Tuesday morning took place in nineteen hundred and twenty-six A. 1). It was the morning when the Class of 1929 first en- tered the halls of W’est Chester High School Yes, these were the same halls in which we, now hold the daily “Senior Circus,” so called by underclassmen who can have no idea of the enjoyment gotten thereby. Looking back I can hardly see how we were so shy. The first time a Senior looked at us—Yes, we added another color to the spectrum. We were quiet, shy, and un- noticed. Since, we have been accused of being too frivolous, too blithesome, and too lackadaisical. As an answer to this serious indictment I relate the following history: The first months of our Freshman year were used in getting acclimated—i. e., get- ting used to circling those “unnecessary” things called monitors. At Christmas time our influence was first felt. Peg Hoopes won the Christmas Story Contest, open to all Freshmen. Following this, later in the year, we startled the school until its 1866 fc undations shook. The upperclassmen had to realize that we were there. The cause of this mighty disturbance was Margaret Kievan, who coolly took first prize in the Girls’ Speaking Contest. We were the last Freshman class to be allowed to enter this contest, and I feel that we shall be remembered. As our leader to guide us through the various Freshman rocks and shoals we chose Gordon Whitcraft. After much “back-breaking” work we finally drew near to the close of our first year in High School. Yes, we were to reach the dignity of Sophomores. Little had we realized, as we entered the preceding fall, that we should ever reach this stage; but we had, and we proceeded to make the most of the opportunity. Our Sophomore year started off with the members of our class showing their mettle by electing Frank Baird as president. Hardly had we gotten over the election when again our orators conquered. Gordon Whitcraft won first prize in the Boys’ Speaking Contest, with another one of our class, James Hoopes, forcing him to do his best to win. Our Christmas vacation must have done us good, for under our newly- chosen colors, Blue and White, we came forward again. In the annual Spelling 29 Contest, Elizabeth Scattergood started her string of cups. With our oral prowess well founded, other members of our class pro- ceeded to demonstrate that “The pen is mightier than the sword.” In the Sopho- more Essay Contest, Margaret Lapp won first prize, with William Dowlin second. The quality of these essays gave us hope as to the future literary staff of the Garnet and White. With these conquests stowed away, we found ourselves facing another spring with its subsequent examinations. We weathered the storm and the following summer, and came back in the fall as upperclassmen. This four- syllable word meant more to us then than any the dictionary might contain. What a different atmosphere surrounded the halls as on them we trod as Juniors. They felt like the “Magic Carpet, and on them we sailed away to more conquests during the following year. The good judg- ment of the members of the class was shown this year by electing William Dowlin as our leader. Again, out of the dust of election arose our boy orators. James Hoopes continued true to form in winning first place, and Carl I.indstrand showed talent in gaining Honorable Mention. Again Elizabeth Scattergood had a “spell” and added a second cup to her list in the annual Spelling Contest. The team that repre- sented West Chester at the Peirce School Spelling Contest was composed of four Juniors and one Senior. This showed people that our “spells” were of the right kind. Came March and the junior Essay Contest. William Dowlin applied pen to paper and came off with first prize. Our poet, Esther Walker, showed that her talents were easily stretched to prose in winning Honorable Mention. At last came sunny skies, and we as a class came together to have the coveted Junior Class picture taken. How big we felt can be seen by looking at said picture. But the Great Event was fast approaching. “They” came, saw, but did not conquer us. We passed the “final examinations” safely, and we were—Yes, we were Seniors. What a feeling we had when we entered school this fall. We were respected, and, we hope, looked up to by underclassmen. We again elected Frank Baird as our President, and set ourselves to see if we couldn’t make this a banner year for our class. To make the record of three first prizes out of four years for the Class of 1929 Carl Lindstrand won the Boys’ Speaking Contest. After the annual visit of Santa Claus we came back, eager and ready to make the last months memorable ones. Among the interesting social events of the year were the “Pirates’ Ball,” the “Circus,” the trip to Philadelphia to see “Macbeth,” and “Baby Day.” Again the Spelling Contest succumbed to Elizabeth Scattergood’s “spells,” making for her a perfect and enviable record. For the second time Theodore Halteman was runner-up.” There was no team sent to Peirce School this year because we were all working on the annual production, “Smilin’ Through,” which, by the way, was a great success. With one exception it was an all-Senior production. After the dramatic stress and strain was o’er, we came back to find the Senior Essay Con- tests ready. Elizabeth Scattergood came forward to win first prize. Then one bright day our Senior honors were announced. The valedictorian, William Dowlin, and the salutatorian, Malcolm Dewees, are both receiving congratulations on their well- earned rewards. Elizabeth Scattergood, Paul Carnathan, and Theodore Halteman were named as Honor speakers at Com- mencement. As the year drew to a close the Class of '29 made one more conquest. All honor positions of the Girls’ Speaking Contest were won by members of this class. Margaret Lapp received first prize with a superior offering. Louise Boulden gained second prize, and Edith Bender Honorable Mention. These awards were a fitting climax to the record of the Class of ’29. May we in the few weeks remaining to us make our graduation from West Chester High School well worthy of being re- membered. Such a history I hope will be sufficient answer to the afore-mentioned indictment. We laugh, but our trophy shelf shows that even while we laugh we are striving to prove our worth. May the Class of 1929 go forward to better and greater things, with the lessons learned in West Chester High School providing the impetus. We have done our best. We hope that Life will treat, judge, and reward us accordingly. Let us take as our motto that old Latin Proverb, “Through difficulty to the stars.” Theodore Hai.teman, ’29 lop Senior Honors.

No colorful ribbons floated from the ship to the landing, for no eager crowd waited to wave a last farewell to the sea-voyagers; the pier was deserted save for a dozing sailor who rested against the dock, faintly outlined in the rosy light. And the ship—from whence had it come? Whither was it going? No one knew; it had silently glided into the harbor from out of the night; and now, just as silently, just as mysteriously, it was sailing away into the breaking mist, with its prow pointed toward the open sea—a Ship of Dreams manned by a Fairy Crew, dipping over the whitecaps into the Sea of Life. Forgotten all the cruel realities of Fate, forgotten all the storms that rage in human breasts—every bit of scarlet sail is atoss to the salty wind of the deep, and the golden sun is rising in all its glory, touching with a magic light the decks of a ship bound for the Land of Make-Believe. Many days the tiny ship dipped o’er the rolling waves as it plowed onward toward foreign shores, and, as the day was slowly dying in the West, from which direction the boat’s prow had mysteriously been turned, the gallant vessel glided into a harbor of France. How eagerly the voy- agers hurried ashore to enter the gay, care- free life of Paris, wherein mingle travelers from all parts of the world—upon whose crowded streets pass such famous person- ages as M. Kim Roberts, the great financier of Paris, who bowed to the voyagers in greeting, as a member of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine in bygone days at the West Chester High School. How odd it was to see the familiar name of Miss Louise Boulden flashing in the sparkling lights, which announced that she was playing in the popular musical comedy, “Billie —“Lou,” now a famous actress, whom the voyagers had known as a gay, laughing girl of High School! Truly, the world is not so large that one may not meet a friend upon some foreign shore. From France the travelers crossed the Channel. England at last! How beautiful the Mother Country in the spring! The voyagers admired the gorgeous panorama of vast estates stretching away to the hor- izon. One manor in particular drew their attention — that of the internationally- famed financier, Mr. Theodore Halteman and his charming wife, nee Edith Holman. The travelers reached London where they soon learned of the great speech on inter- national interests in World Peace, de- livered by a former class-mate of the voy- agers—Mr. William Dowlin—who was taking an active part in England’s political life. With him was ever seen his faithful friend, Europe’s foremost stage critic, Mr. James Hoopes. From Mr. Dowlin was received the start- ling news that a revolution had suddenly burst into flame in Russia. Mr. Samuel Slifkin, a leader of the rebel party, was noted as a firm defender of “Rights for Women!” The “London Blaze” published the news of the opposition parties, picturing that amazing Mr. Slifkin in a colorful uniform, looking ridiculously small be- neath a great furry hat which was too large for one so small. From London the travelers made their way to Holland, where the far-famed Olympic Games were claiming the interest of the world. Their fame had reached on to modern time from the Ancient Grecian 32 lop row left—Officers, Co-operative Council. Right Junior Essay Honors. Second row left— Jr. High Milk Essay Honors.

From all over the world, from every port they came—the athletes to gain the laurel wreath of victory and bring honors to their native lands. America had sent the best of all her youth to this pageant of the skillful and the strong. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine again rep- resented her country in the Olympic games. The name of Frank Baird, known throughout the world as a great runner, rivaled that of Nurmi, the Finn; Mr. John Stevenson, long ago captain of the High School track team, raced beside French and Italian runners. Miss Katharine Smedley, know in years gone by as “Kathie” to her girl friends at school, was found to be holder of the world’s record for high jumping of the fair sex. Miss Margaret Hoopes, the laughing “Feg” of former days, brought to America the championship in woman’s hurdling. Miss Eleanor Mere- dith, Mr. Eugene Hickman, Mr. Anthony Bruno,and Miss May Sill could also be found in the list of successful participants in these world games. From Holland the vessel turned toward the shores of Spain—the land of the picturesque—which rose against the sky- line to the South. Hardly had the ship touched the shores, when the voyagers heard of the distinguished visitor who graced that land of Kings and Queens. Mr. John Fackler had stopped there as he was on a tour around the world. To please the Spaniards he had consented to appear at one of their gatherings and say a few words in appreciation of this stupendous reception. The maidens of old Spain all crowded into the gathering. As he accepted the hand-wrought crimson scarf and trap- pings of a Spanish senor, he thought of one night at a School Party when he had donned the same costume, years ago in the Class of Twenty-nine. Leaving Spain, the voyagers waved a last farewell to European shores and sailed on their return voyage to far-away America- New York again—and one of the towering Broadway Theatres in all its glory wel- coming the best of the social life of the great metropolis, attracted the voyagers. The show was “Why Be Good?”a peppy revue of modern life. Miss Margaret Kievan of High School days, successor to Clara Bow, played the role of a daring collegiate flapper. Henry Coleman, the leading man, drew great crowds of the fair sex to the house by his very natural portrayal of the College Sheik and hero. The “Peg” and “Hen of the Class of Twenty-nine had risen to the top fame of Hollywood. In one of the leading New York Brokers’ offices Ella Sturgess held sway in all the dignity of a private secretary. The greatest Fashion Show ever staged in America was graced by no less a personage than the great Miss Bessie Ginsberg, known the world over as a dictator of milady’s fashions. Too, the fame of Miss Elizabeth Scatter- good was international as one of the greatest librarians of all time; she was holding the literary sceptre over the great Library of the City of New York. A last glance toward the Great White Way, a last view of the great skyscrapers, and the voyagers turned toward the landing to which the tiny craft had been moored in the breaking dawn so long ago. But the pier was deserted now, for no vessel waited in the blue mist of early morning, to carry travelers far away to the Land of Make- Believe. Only a sailor dozed in the rosy light, as he rested against the dock. The Ship? 'Twas but a Shi]) o’Dreams, and the Fairy Crew composed of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine who had wished to see the vision of themselves on the Isles of Heart’s Desire!

I looked and I saw our own banner, The colors of Twenty-nine; Airing (I guess for a reunion) On Frank Baird’s old clothes line.

Peg Kievan was engaged to a farmer, I had seen her but once in a year; I hope he’s a very good listener Peg has broken some hearts, I fear. Bill Dowlin I knew was a lawyer Of undeniable fame; He’s been quite a success (said Holman) In the old political game. John Stevenson, one of our shop-boys, Had made a splendid success; And with him the bright young Carnathan; But I wasn’t surprised, I confess. Esther Walker, I learned, was a happy, Quite pretty, upholsterer’s wife; Lindstrand was really now a hard worker’ She led him a quick-moving life. We had just about finished our gossip When arrived with a rush Edith’s led! He showed me a book by K. Smedley; “A good book on nature,” he said. W ith my head full of news, I departed. This surely was my lucky day! I had hoped 1 would see them more often, Those school friends but then that’s Life’s way.

Who is able to tell how or where I know I will never forget them. Or my dream that they found Life fair. Elizabeth Scattkrgood, ’29 Ciitmpse JVljeab (Being in a More Practical Vein) It was a cold, dreary afternoon in my little shack in the mountains of Western Canada, exceptionally cold for the spring of the year 1950, and I was content to sit inside and watch the rain drops on the window. As my abode was rather distant from any public library and as I had not seen any bit of literature for a long time, I had written to an old friend of mine in Pennsylvania to send me some of the latest books by that famous writer of the times, Marjory McCray. I had been expecting them to arrive from the post office of a little settlement nearby for some time. As the day was a good one for reading books, I was hoping they would come this afternoon. My anticipations were not unrealized, for sure enough, about three o’clock they arrived. I hastily began to untie the bundle which was wrapped in great thicknesses of paper. As I was taking off the last wrapper, which was an old newspaper, I happened to glance at the name, which appeared in big letters, “DAILY LOCAL NEWS.” Where had I heard that before? I was positive the name was familiar to me. Let me think........ Suddenly the thing came to me in a flash West Chester my old home town! I dropped the books and settled myself with the paper. A glaring headline across the front page caught my eye: “Prominent Young Lawyer. William A. Dowlin, Makes Heart-stirring Plea for Life of Friend and Wins Case.” William A. Dowlin Why, 1 wonder Why, it must be my old chum, Bill. Well, I’ll be switched! The dear old donkey he really did amount to something after all, in spite of the terrible time he used to have with his lessons in High School. Funny sort of chap, never cared much for study- ing. Well, it just shows, you never can tell. I glanced further along the paper and was much interested in what I read. There was a big article about Dr. Samuel Slifkin, the noted scientist, who had just dis- covered a new kind of hair tonic for bald people, which would be manufactured ex- clusively for the fine new barber shop owned by Tony Bruno. Quite a bit was devoted to the recent male beauty contest which had been held at the famous summer resort of Malvern, on the boardwalk. I was not at all surprised to see that the man who had been chosen Mr. America 36 Echoes of “Babv Dav” 1920 37 was none other than our Senior Class President, Frank Baird. It also made mention of the fact that this place had been closely contended for by Harold Smithson. Smithson, it seems, was some- what handicapped owing to the fact that he had, on the evening previous to the contest, challenged Raging Roberts, holder of the heavyweight crown, and had come out rather at the worse end of the deal. The editor stated that the city of West Chester was very proud of its famous orator, Mr. Highley, who recently stirred the nation in a fiery oration in the United States Senate. Mayor Coleman says that in his opinion, the“subject is a serious one,” and it is well that there are men such as Mr. Highley, capable of handling it. I was interested in noting that in the list, “In Hymen's Bonds,” there appeared the announcement of the marriage of Mr. Theodore Halteman, prominent bank presi- dent, and Miss Edith Holman, probably the most celebrated pianist of the day. The couple had been engaged for several years. Under the “What They Say,” column, I was astonished to see that Margaret Hoopes, Representative to Congress, ad- vocated a low tariff on Swiss Cheese. On the second page was a large picture of an enormous span bridge across the Brandywine River, constructed by the great engineers, Jefferis and Dewees. The arch of the bridge, indeed a beautiful piece of art, was designed by the note- worthy architect, Paul Carnathan. 1 saw in the “Local Hash” that the fa- mous writer, Marjory McCray, whose latest book, “The Price of Love,” was the hit of the year, was indeed none other than the former Mrs. Esther Lindstrand. Mr. Carl Lindstrand had recently taken up writing and had put on the market a unique novel based on his experiences, “With Barnum and Bailey.” A whole column was devoted to the opening of an enormous new theatre on Gay Street, which was donated to the people of West Chester by the multi-millionaire chewing-gum king, Horace Rogers. The opening performance was to consist of a song and dance by the Cope and Conrad Company and an opera written by the playwright, Miss Emily Smith. Carleton Norman and Mary McGinn, the famous actress, were to play the leading roles. I scanned further through the pages, when an article in the “Social Items” took my eye, saying that the Dains, Minor and Emaline, prominent leaders of the fast set, were to spend the summer at the Hotel Pyle, which over- looked the metropolis of Marshallton. I was surprised to see that Gordon Whit- craft had taken over the entire sporting section of the paper which contained all tlie news of the sport world. The world’s record for the half-mile run which “Hand- some” Clossen had won in the Olympics several years ago had not been equalled. I was surprised to see that Peg Kievan now held the speed record for autos, although she had a close rival in “Flyin’ Bessie” Ginsberg. I turned to the comics, where I found some clever material by Maurice Darlington. My attention was finally drawn to the ads. Gracious! What’s this! John Fackler, in the wholesale garter business, had an ad in the “For Sale” column. The farm products of Margaret Lapp, President of the Lady Farmers’ Association, were also advertised. My interest was again aroused by a full page advertisement of a circus coming to town, “Walker and Wood’s Gigantic Circus First in the World to Travel by Dirigible. Greatest Display of Wild Animals and Freaks the World Has Ever Known.” 1 read the list of participants and the acts of the circus amid gasps of amazement. The first to take my eye was a “living skeleton —Come and see her—alive! Buttercup Bender.” Imagine my astonishment— Edith Bender—that old sweetheart of mine! What’s this! “The Queen of the South Sea Islands, Leapin' Lizzie Scattergood—Come in and see her dance in her true native fashion!” I was rather amazed at the last, but not a bit surprised at what followed: an act by “Happy Close—the world’s greatest acro- bat—will make your hair stand on end with his death-defying stunts.” “Most beautiful creature in the world - The Bearded Lady-—Johanna Stevenson.” “Madame Humphrey, the beautiful snake- charmer — lives among the reptiles.” “Jolly Libby Taylor, the world’s fattest and largest human being—weighs 913 pounds!” Last of all I was quite interested to see the name “Lu Lu Boulden—the best that Maryland can offer! Hear her sing ‘Mammy’.” How I should like to have seen that circus! The “Local” certainly has pepped up since I last saw it. I wondered who runs it now? I looked and to my surprise saw that the editor was my old friend, Jake Shur! Well, well, it certainly does one good to hear something about those old pals and the old home town. I'll have to go back some day and see them all. James Hoopes, ’29 Jfarriiu'll Four years have passed—how swift the flight of time, Since first we entered at this sacred shrine, As freshmen, inexperienced, strange, and shy! ()ur fears are lessening as the years go by. In desperate straits we keep a level head, And try to smile at letters penned in red. So may it be when we have left this hall, To learn the wisdom which time brings to all, With heads erect and bright eyes free from tears, With strength and courage for the coming years, Walk bravely through the hard and crowd- ed ways, In spite of trouble, smiling out the days. To know that only labor will bring gains— That nothing real is gotten without pains. We thank thee for these lessons thou hast taught, (), Alma Mater, creatress of thought. Hf.rmione Hili., ’29. (Class lUill We, the Class of 1929, having been lately informed that on June 13th, 1929, we shall depart forever from these halls of learning of West Chester High School, do make and ordain this will as our last living testament. For four long years we have dreaded, yet welcomed, the coming of this time. We have succeeded in accomplishing our aims and desires, and now we must go out into the after life. Each one will go his separate way, but we hope that we shall be brought together again at some future time. We wish to thank the teachers, for whom we have made so much trouble, and all those who have helped to make our stay in this High School so beneficial and en- joyable. We wish to bequeath to the Class of 1930, who will be seniors next year, the following privileges which we received from the Class of 1928. To Wit: I. The right to use B-1 and B-3 as at- tendance rooms. We hope they will be as kind and as considerate to the teachers as we have been. II. The right to march out of Chapel first. Do not allow other classes to usurp this privilege. III. The right to observe Baby Day. We want to warn you that the teachers will not allow you to eat all day-suckers in their classes. IV. The right to use the Senior steps. Beware of the Juniors who will try to use the steps also. Defend this privilege as we have. V. The right to make the acquaintance of “Burke” and “Macbeth.” We hope that you will enjoy their company as much as we «lid. VI. To certain husky boys and girls, we bequeath the right of being monitors. Let us warn you that certain people will disobey the traffic laws. Be firm with them. There are certain things which cannot be left to the Class of 1930 as a whole, but they are hereby bequeathed to certain individuals of the Class of 1930. To Wit: I. “Johnny” Fackler bequeaths his posi- tion as class “sheik” to “Johnny” Hick- man his Baby Day outfit to the highest bidder. II. Maurice Darlington bequeaths his position as cartoonist to John Campbell. III. “Peg” Hoopes bequeaths her posi- tion as class flapper to Eunice Miller.

Seifkin, ’29 Harry Waeker, ’29 (A f eueittctunt Once more the course of Time has rolled us by; Again the Wheel of Fate has made its turn; And from the Portals dignified and proud, Where once as children we came to learn The lessons of the Life we now approach, Hearts filled with love for Alma Mater true, We leave these Shrines—this spot revered and loved, The scene of countless, carefree, happy days, Days spent in little thought of time to come— And stand in awe upon the threshold here; A band of Youth now starts a greater Life. The unseen power above who sees and knows, And guides our stumbling feet o'er Life’s rough way— May He instill in us a Courage that Will tide us through; and may we not for- get The lessons She has taught—Our Noble School. Forever, let it be, that in our hearts Her inspiration as a flame shall burn, And guide our falt’ring footsteps to the Right, Anri light us to a truly Noble Life! Wileiam A.

We want to carry them along as our memories. First, it must be mentioned that a com- mittee consisting of Harold Smithson, Leila Hiddleson and Margaret Kievan was chosen to select a gift to be given to the school by the Class of 1929. Our first great victory was the 1). W. Meredith Speaking Contest, proclaim- ing Carl Lindstrand and Theodore Halte- man as the best speakers. The girls also made a sweeping victory in the Joseph S. Hvans’ Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, when it was announced that Margaret Lapp, Louise Boulden and Edith Bender were heroines of the day. Now can we forget Baby Day. One cannot forget the fun we had. e came to school laughing and grinning and march- ed across the platform carrying baby dolls, teddy bears, horns and lolly-pops. Our fun lasted for just one day which seemed entirely too short. “Smilin’ Through” cannot be omitted because of its amazing success. Comments have proved that this was one of the best productions the High School has ever given. The “Tea,” too, was of great interest to those who attended. Every one helped, thus showing our mothers and teachers the interest we have in the true meaning of success. The table was artistically decor- ated and had upon it refreshments of ice cream, cakes and candy. Last of all we can recall that Junior- Senior Dance. Everybody who went had a good time. We had a fine orchestra which filled our ears with “catchy” music and put pep into our feet. In the early part of June we shall have our Senior Banquet and then, last of all, the Graduation Excercises in the Philips Memorial. This event will mark the close of our High School Days.

M iss Miller was there every day, But she did not scold or reproach; Even though we needed it, She was indeed a very good coach. Then “Katy” Smedley was our captain, Who won her glory and fame By always playing her very best, And making her team do the same. Our other wing—Jean Coleman Would scare her opponent half-backs; For each time they got the ball, Jean would be right on their tracks. Jeanette Hall was our goal keeper, A very efficient one, too; For when Jeanette was protecing our goal Very few balls went through. Mary Mood was our highest scorer— This story has often been told; How each time she ran down the field, She was sure to score a goal. Lydia Highley, our winged star, Was winged in more ways than one; Annie Supplee was one of our half-backs, She played in the wing and her feet were Who played the game so well; winged, That it would take many volumes For oh! How that girl could run! About all of her wonders to tell. 54 Above W. C. II. S. Girls’ Hockey Squad, 1928 Below W. C. H. S. Girls’ Basketball Squad, 1928-1929 55 PE-WHITB There are many more to be mentioned, Such as Walton, Mercer and Hannum; The defense that they put up Sent the opponents into a tantrum. We wish those girls who play next year In West Chester High School’s name, The best of success and victory, And to bring our High School fame. For by playing the game your very best, You can do your bit for the school; By perseverance you are sure to win, This is found to be true.......as a rule. “Peg” Hoopes, ’29 Although so far as victories are concerned our teams were not very successful this year, we are certain that not one girl re- gretted the time and the energy she spent in coming out for sports. We wish those who will participate next year the best of success in every sport and a most victorious season. Basketball of ’2 ;T To have a team in basketball We first of all must have a coach; ’Twas Miss Strickland who took the wheel To meet every and each approach. She served in there so fine we must Give her the praise she earns so well. Then next we had a captain fine, Who led the team the score to tell. Now “Hoopie” was this captain brave, Who gave the helping word and strength; 'Tis fame that sits upon her brow, While all her glory has great length. A center from the Senior ranks— 'Twas Meredith to tell her name! She gave the team her strength and weight To help the team in winning fame. While there within the forward block, We found three Juniors, small, but quick; Who hurried like a lightning flash, To make the opposing team look sick. ’Twas Marjorie, and “Martie,” too, Plus Jessie who could miss the shot, When suits came down and people laughed— But forwards always helped a lot. And then the guards so very fine, Deserved so much the mention great; Without the jumps and runs on time, Ourscore would never have marked the slate. Small Lydia and Tapper tall, With Hall as substitute, to boot; The guard positions held down tight, That's why their forwards could not shoot! And many others filled the bench; They were the real good sports, indeed; While other stars were sorted out, Each thought himself to be the weed. Then last of all, the team must have A manager to “buy the gum,” To keep the score, and carry balls, While others laugh and “holler” some. Mary McGinn, the manager, Served she this high and mighty post; And star Nell Bleecker kept the time; Of her, my, how our team could boast! But now the Seniors play no more, Their high school games are done; With each succeeding game we hope You’ll see at last the victor’s sun! Katharine C. Smedeey, '29 PS. There’s one who has not been mentioned, Who made up this team of ours; She always played the game so well, She was known as one of the “stars.” This girl is “Katy” Smedley, As you might have guessed before; When “Katy” was put into the game, The score began to soar. “Peg” Hoopes, ’29 GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The first meeting of the Girls’ A. A. was for the election of officers which resulted as follows: Kathryn Smedley, President; Margaret Hoopes, Secretary, and Martha Ingram, Vice President. The meetings following were for the .purpose of urging the girls to come out for sports and of electing managers, officers, etc., of different teams and offices respec- tively. Because the activities of the Athletic Association were not numerous, the meet- ings were few. Signed, Kathryn Smedley, President Margaret Hoopes, Secretary 56 .CLUB NOTES THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committe of the General Association has held very few meetings during the year, but in those meetings they have accomplished much. One part of their work by which we have profited is the out- lining of the school and class parties. Also, they have gone through the regular pro- cedure of making the athletic awards. Among other things connected with ath- letics, they have planned the regulation of season tickets for various sports and made provision for the system of tagging in base- ball games. As the treasurer’s report had been quite favorable, it was decided to invest some of the money to help the school. A committee appointed by the president, B. Reed Henderson, is to meet with the school board and study the most profitable way of spending the money. Katharine C. Smedley, '29. Secretary. THE COOPERATIVE COUNCIL The Cooperative Council feels that it has had a very successful year and that much of this success has been due to the cooperation of the students and their will- ingness to offer suggestions. The Council attended to the usual duty of appointing class lieutenants and hall monitors twice during the year. The Social Affairs Committee carried through two school parties which were considered a great success. The Chapel Programs Committee helped to arrange a number of worthwhile chapel programs. The Coun- cil looked after the sale of school stationery. At the requests of the Council several minor repairs and additions in parts of the building have been made; other repairs will be made during the summer months. The members of the Council feel that this body has a great opportunity for con- structive work in the school. However, this can be accomplished only with the aid of every student. For those who will be in the school next year, it is hoped that they will use every effort to assist the Council, so that it may enlarge its work for the benefit of the students. Do not expect the Council to be able to exercise too much au- thority or to do the things that really be- long to the school administrators. This is for the older heads to do. The best service you can render is to “boost” the Council and its work whenever possible. Help it; don’t knock it. Martha M. Moore, '30. Sec. of Cooperative Council. ALL ABOARD On May 3, 1929, our History Club made its Annual pilgrimage to places of historic interest. At eight o’clock when the sun was wondering whether to shine or not, about twenty-six members piled into the five cars and drove away from their cares and troubles into the land of adventure. Miss Mahy and Mr. Fisher were our faculty leaders; and we think they enjoyed the trip as much as we. The three objectives were the Cloisters, Hershey, and Harrisburg. We drove west on the Lincoln Highway until we reached what is called The Cloisters,” the first home of the Seventh Day Baptists in America. It was a very interesting place filled with odd homemade utensils. We saw an immense hour glass which—so the guide said—had to be turned twice during the sermons of one of their ministers. A large loom for weaving cloth almost filled one of the rooms, and in another was an immense two-faced clock. The doors in the building were low and narrow to force the people to bow their heads and teach them to be humble. From there we drove on to Hershey, the Chocolate Town, and were shown around the plant by a guide. In fact he was such a guide that we are afraid some of the fairer sex missed some points of interest in order to gaze upon him. We went from the mixing room to the wrapping department and through the entire life history of the lunch room chocolate bars. Harrisburg was the final and the most important stop of the trip. We were all impressed by the beautiful interior decor- 57 ati ng and'mural paintings in the Capitol. Many of {them told a story, one set being of the iife of William Penn. In the Harris- burg Museum and Library we saw the original Charter granted to Penn by the king. It was one of the things of greatest interest to see this ancient manuscript which began the history of our State. In another glass-doored safe we saw the grant given by the Indians to Penn for the ground on which the Capitol is standing. The first plan of government for Pennsyl- vania stood in another case. These docu- ments have been shown to very few visitors, due to their perishable nature, and we considered ourselves fortunate to have such a fine opportunity. The variety of inter- esting things we found in this building are innumerable. One of the greatest treasures is a rough, old, wooden desk from the first school—in no less a place than—West Chester! We are all grateful to the History Club and to the teachers who gave us this educational trip and the pleasure derived from it. Margaret Lapp, ’29 DRAMATIC CLUB “The play’s the thing”—Jane Cowl, herself, would have thought so if she could have seen our production of her own play, “Smilin’ Through.” The play was given in the Auditorium by the Dramatic Club this spring; the cast was composed entirely of Seniors with one exception. Certainly the task was an ambitious one; however, the townspeople supported us very well for both nights. “Smilin’ Through has a beautiful setting for all three acts, but the second act is particularly lovely, because of the old-fashioned costumes. No one who saw the play will soon forget Margaret Lapp's fascinating Irish brogue as Kathleen, or James Hoopes’ splendid acting, as he played the difficult part of changing from an old man to a young man in a few seconds of time. A month ago we had a very entertaining party in the Library. There were charades, and a literary pie (not eatable) and, of course, refreshments. Miss Swadener of- fered a prize for the best original bit of acting. Some of our young actors and actresses showed much talent along this line. The prize was indeed worth the effort, for it was Maxfield Parrish’s picture, “Daybreak.” It was awarded to Mary McGinn. Elizabeth Scattergood, ’29 COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club has kept up the high standards which were maintained by the class of “’28.” The functions of the club consist of educational as well as social activities. The programs have been well prepared and carried out. We had some of the business men of the town come and tell us a little of what life will be like when we have completed our school days and are out in the world for ourselves. We also visited “The Daily Local News and saw the method used in printing our local paper. Then one of the biggest events of the year was the annual outing at Lenape, on May 29. The attendance throughout the year was very satisfactory, and the class of “’29” give their sincere wishes for the prosperity of the club in the future. Rosellen Paxson, '29 HISTORY CLUB Under the guidance of the Mayoress, Margaret Lapp, the History Club has had a successful and enjoyable year. At many different meetings members have spoken about historical places near home. Although people do not realize and appreciate the fact, there are many, many interesting places in our own locality. We have been very fortunate this year in being able to hear three talks on recent trips abroad. Miss Mahy spoke on the tracks left by the recent World War in Europe. Miss Jackson and Miss Johnson gave illustrated talks tin several different European countries. To sit and listen to others was not the only thing we accomplished this year. The Play Committee wrote a play, “The Spy,” which received much favorable comment. It was produced in Junior and Senior High Chapels. In chapel, also, on such days as Columbus Day the History Club presented programs. We ended our year in a most pleasing manner by making a Pilgrimage. While at Harrisburg, we were honored by being shown the charter Charles 11 gave to William Penn, also the treaty Penn made with the Indians. The History Club hopes that the students of the school have considered it as being beneficial and uplifting to West Chester High School. Martha M. Moore, ’30 Assistant Clerk. 58 Scenes from “Smilin’ Through’’, 1929 59 CLASSICAL CLUB “Excelsior!” This means to the First Period Latin III Class “Onward and Up- ward. We hope we have lived up to our motto this year and that we shall in the future. We feel quite honored to have been per- mitted to have a Classical Club for two consecutive years. We have hopes for a third. This privilege is generally given only to the Senior Class. This year Miss Jackson has shown some very interesting slides and pictures of Europe. Those taken about Rome were especially interesting. At our Christmas meeting two of the members of our club dramatized a part of the first Catilinarian oration. Several other interesting selections were given, but the most humorous was the telling in Latin of our most desired Christmas gift. This year the Junior Class has published one copy of the “Lingualaca.” The Senior Class also published a copy. Next year we hope to be able to publish a printed number, which will be dedicated to Virgil. This year we received from Virginia, “The Roanoke Roman,” which was dedicated to Virgil. May our paper be as big a success as this one! Consules Martha M. Moore, '30 Lionei. Jackson, '30 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club of this year feels that it has reason to be proud of itself. All year it has been active, and its programs have been of real value and interest. Perhaps the most interesting were the Christmas program and Miss Jackson’s illustrated lecture. Another good meeting was Miss Johnson’s lecture. The members are all proud to wear the Club pins, and all who return next year are anxious to have the work continue. Those in charge of French Club have received excellent co-operation, and for this they are very thankful. Those of us who are leaving hope that next year's club will be bigger and better (if possible), and we wish evervone good luck. Mary McGinn, '29 THE ART DEPARTMENT Even though this club is not well known to all, it is very important to some of the otherTdepartments. There are quite a number of talented students taking elective art. Many of them have an average of eighty-five or more a month. The Art Department has had three big calls this year for special art work. First, we painted the scenery for the play, “The Birth of Christ,” given in the Christmas program. Our second was “Smilin’ Through,” a play given by the Dramatic Club. The last was “Twilight Alley,” an operetta, given by Junior High School. The latter was the extreme of “Smilin’ Through.” In the play we made every thing as pretty as we could, but in the oper- etta we made the scenery as dingy and ugly as possible. They formed a striking con- trast. The play gave us a better knowledge of how to beautify our home and garden. It was a very real problem in civic art. Along with some of the extra things, we painted Book Conservation posters for the Children's Room in the Public Library and Wild Flower posters for the Flower Show in the fall. I still could discuss the endless interesting work in our regular classes. We find each art period has in store for us some knowledge we can use in our every day life. Elizabeth Chambers, ’30 HIGH SCHOOL PARTIES Do we remember the Pirates’ Ball? Well, I’ll say we do! That student body so transformed, so barbarous-looking, yet so bubbling over with mirth and happiness— can we forget it? Not soon. There was no marked difference in our dress. We were just a jolly, good group, having a marvelous good time. Then came our circus. After the great success of the non-formality of the Pirates’ Ball, we felt sure a circus would be just the thing— and so it was. The simple, jazzy “gazook” orchestra started by keep- ing the old country-hecker audience, who had just seen many wonderful sights at the sideshows, in a perfect uproar of laughter. Barney Google and Spark Plug, acrobats, two colored fellows, and King Solomon certainly put the finishing touches to our program. Then came the dance. How we did enjoy ourselves! We surely hope that the parties in the future will be as much enjoyed as these. Louise Boulden, ’29 60 Above—W. C. H. S. Orchestra, 1928-1929 Below—W. C. H. S.

As the succeeding class, we wish you good luck in all you undertake. If you go on to college, remember that we’re back of you, hoping you will prove as successful there as here. It is one of the hopes of our class that we shall be able to fill the place of Seniors as well if not better than you have done. Virginia Cloeman, '30. AN AFTERNOON As I sit here thinking of something to write about, I notice the trees out in the orchard. The limbs are cascades of bril- liant blossoms which hang like glistening drops of water to the twigs. The little stream below is all afire from the late after- noon sun, sinking like a ball of gold in the West. The starlings are screaming in every tree, while the smaller bobolinks chatter and rush hither and thither like a large household in the time of spring clean- ing. It will not be many Sundays until all are resting. Oh, you wild things of April, how priceless you are! If only all might enjoy you, this would be a better world. Harry Yerkes, Jr.,'30. SPRING FLOWERS When April comes blustering in, we real- ize that spring is really here. The time of light hearts and care-free minds has really come at last. Our minds wake up to that fact after some of the spring flowers have knocked at the doors of our eyes and nose. After the long hard winter, when we have been half asleep, it is a relief to be aroused from our dreams to know the real life about us. The flowers seem to be pleased at having life, too, since they smile and nod to a passerby and dance and bow with the wind. As a small boy plays about and tries to attract a sweet little friend of his, so the wind flirts with his dainty, gay sweethearts. The delicate petals dress themselves in the most attractive ways and use the most fragrant perfume in the world, all because their green has arrived. Fairyland must weave from a magic loom these wondrous things, for who ever saw such beauty in s store? O, Spring, you are such a lovely queen with your dainty hand-maidens that we wish you to stay all the year. Kathryn M. Fluck, '30. ALONG THE LINE If one looks along the line of sports, one finds the Juniors ranking near the top for taking an active part. Football, cross- country, basketball, baseball and track— all find Juniors on the Varsity. Who won the class Basketball Championship? The Juniors! It was the second time running that our class had won that title. The Juniors, as a class, have always backed the school teams with lots of cheering and loyal attendance at the games. Let’s keep this spirit with us when we are Seniors and show the other classes that the Class of '30 is peppy and may be depended upon to contribute material to next year’s various teams.

And at moon-rise, half-crazed with thirst, They quarrelled o’er a jeweled crown one which They both had found far back in an ancient pile. And so like animals who see a quartz, And only for its glitter do they fight, So the two royal princes fought, and slew. The one was slain; the other lingered on. Death’s hand he stayed, and wailing, cried aloud— Oh, thou hast seen tragedy tonight, And for this trouble have we fought and died. And now, too late, I hear—tormenting me The rush i ng ,rippl i ng.roari ng torrent -stream. 11 bursts my ears! 1 cannot bear the sound! That water is a poison to my brain. ” A shriek----“1 die! No, Death shall wait for me! O let me grasp that cursed crown and I Shall crown myself with what I won, but lose.” And so the ember in the sky did see, A coronation, strangely, strangely wild. Then—“Death—now come! I keep thee back no more. ” So centuries, long after, found those kings Who fought to win, yet lost, at length to Death. Byron Hippi.e, ’30. JUNIOR CLASS Although the Junior ('lass has had very few meetings this year, we feel that our year has not been wasted. During the term we have become the proud owners of class rings. At our parties this year the Juniors have responded quite well. It is needless to mention their part in the programs. The weather man seemed to be deter- mined to prohibit the taking of the Class picture, but after the fourth attempt, we were victorious. We hope that next year our Seniors will cooperate and make the class the best that has ever been in West Chester High School Martha Moore, ’30, Class Sec. to the sophomorp:s We, the Class of 1930, do bequeath to the succeeding Junior Class these solemn rights and privileges. May they be thor- oughly used and respected! First: The privilege of being aloof at all times. Second: The undeniable right to precede the Sophomores in the lunch line. Third: The permission to make more noise than anyone except the Seniors. Fourth: The privilege of trying to gain the Senior steps. Fifth: The right of pondering over mean- ingless geometrical figures ’til the wee small hours. Sixth: The pleasure of discovering a person more vain than oneself, Cicero, who is really admired by some. Marise Fairi.amh, ’30 GIRLS ATHLETICS Where would all of the girls’ teams be without the Junior girls? Look back at the hockey team, and you will find a large num- ber of the girls to be Juniors. Marjorie Mercer, Mary Mood, Jeanetta Hall, Marise Fairlamb, Virginia Coleman, and Elizabeth Chambers all star players were of the Class of ’30. The same was true with the basketball team. The team would not have won one game, had it not been for Martha Ingram, and Marjorie Mercer both Juniors and star forwards. Half of the team was made up of Juniors; the other half consisted of Seniors and Sophomores. In track and tennis the girls of ’30 again showed their pep and school spirit. Look at their showing in the track meet. Next year the girls hope to win every game they play. If the teams are made up of next year’s Seniors, we’ll be sure to bring home the bacon! CLASS “NUTS” Our Junior year has fled away, But memories have not passed; Of Shorty’s feet and Marta’s laugh, And Jean’s hair at half-mast. There are Jessie's gab and Mitchell’s sneeze And Rosamund’s bright red hair; Miss Swadener’s brilliant English class, And Kathryn’s giggling there. There’s Nelly’s height, and Martha’s speech On trees and birds and grass; Who’ll e’er forget these freaks—or else? In this year’s Junior Class. By Ima Poor Knutt 65 uv 66 UP TO DATE DICTIONARY Afterthought A tardy sense of pru- dence that prompts “Shorty” to shut his mouth about the time he has put his foot in it.

Our meetings have been interesting and numerous. In one meeting it was unanimously voted to have a Sopho- more party. This party showed the real spirit of the class. It was a great success. Purple and white banners have been order- ed. It was decided that the Sophomores take a page of cartoons in the Commence- ment Garnet and White. We have had worthy contestants in both girls' and boys’ Speaking Contests, as well as in the Spelling Bee. The Sophomore girls won the Basketball Championship, and we were the runners-up in the boys’ finals. We are prominent in football, base- ball, hockey and track. The Sophomores this year have set a standard. Let us in our Junior year not only live up to it, but surpass it. Lydia Highley, '31. LITERATURE OF ’31 “The Joyous Troublemaker” — “Bob” Gawthrop.

That the time flies when we enjoy our- selves in our classes? That baseball is a prominent sport fifth period ? That school parties are entirely ten) short when one enjoys himself? That everyone seems to be in a hurry at lunch time? The great excitement anti enthusiasm aroused in an individual when asked to write something for the Garnet and White? The number of girls letting their hair grow? The great number of enthusiasts who attend the baseball games? Helen Ingram, '31 BELIEVE IT OR NOT The Sophomore group of girls in the Maypole dance was the most noticeable feat on the whole program (and how!) “Winnie” Wynn gets A + in French. Biology is Helen Tapper’s favorite sub- ject. Miss Jackson has reduced the number of Verbum sat sapientis” to one each period. (Except on tryout days!) The champion “fox-trotter” of high school is a Sophomore. Study Hall is the most quiet place in high school fifth period. Jack Ivins has grown three-quarters of an inch in the past three years. Freddy Jamison prefers Marshallton to West Chester. The Sophomore party was the most exciting of all school parties held this year. Jesse Clark is going to revise Dr. I 11- man’s Latin book. Rosamund Passmore has red hair. (Cum grano salis! 1 Helen Ingram, '31 The Seniors who helped make our Garnet and White a success this year deserve congratulations for their work.

June is truly the month of brides. This is not a modern idea, but dates back to early Roman days. The ancients thought that May was an unlucky month for weddings, but June, especially when the moon was full, was better than any other month. June has many days of sunshine and beautiful flowers. Nature also takes part in the activities of June. When June comes, the blossoms of the fruit trees have gone away and tiny green fruit appears. The bees are busy making their homes. Mother birds bio.v.l over their eggs and butterflies hang an 1 roam over the flowers along the roadside. In June another activity which brings much joy to almost everyone is graduation. Many little children pass from one grade to the other, and young met and wone.t graduate from High School an 1 College. June is a happy, beautiful month, bringing joy to every one. Elizabeth Schwalm. (Irade ’l 11. Once there was a little Freshie, Brain blank, white as snow. Sophomores hazed that little Freshie, Long time ago. Freshie grew into a Sophie, Wisest here below, (lazed with awe upon the Junior, Long time ago. When this Soph became a Junior, Then he tried to show. There was no one to surpass him, Long time ago. From a Junior to a Senior, This young man did grow; Then lie wished he was a Freshie, Of long time ago. Teddy Dalton, Grade YI11 JUNE The month of June we now do greet, It comes with roses fresh and sweet, The birds, the bees and the butterflies, too. And the skies are of a beautiful azure blue. Vacation days will soon be here; We’ll go to the fields and join in a time While we pick the flowers that richly bloom, On every hillside in sunshiny June. Sara Garrett Grade VIII. THE SENIOR Pride, sorrow and joy, Fill each Senior’s heart, As in their black gowns they march, From friends and teachers to part. Some will go to college, Others in offices will work. With typewriters, and take dictation, From a boss, who will not let them shirk. Miriam Cohen, Grade VIII. MY TROUBLES Gee, how I hate to go to school, ’Cause every day I get the rule, Over my knuckles, or on the seat of my pants; Then how I holler, an’ cry, an’ dance. Then oh, my report card is always red, And Pa—he licks me an’ sen Is me to bed; And, if you want to go swimming all day. You’ve gotta bag—then you’ve the penalty to pay. I love to go fishing in the old creek. But there’s never a nibble; the fish are so sleek; So there I sit on the side of the bank, ’Til I think that the fishes all must have “sank.” My Pa says that he was a goo 1 boy, And Ma says she is out to spread joy; But Fatty and Me just go to school. And stand all the hardships of that old rule.

So from now on we'll cram and jam, Trying to get our lessons learned as well as we can. It doesn’t seem to do much good, Because, when it comes time, we don’t know one thing we should. Margaret Barker, Grade VIII. GIRL’S SPORTS At the beginning of the school year the Junior High girls were seen playing tennis. This sport did not last long because of hockey, which soon took its place. Next came basketball, which was more familiar to us than hockey. The girls'team played and won from the Seniors; but they were defeated by a large margin by the Sopho- mores and the Juniors. This spring a number have been out for track. The track and field meet took place on May 12th. The events for the Junior High girls were the 5()-yd. dash, high jump, basketball distance throw, shuttle relay and the three-legged race. Ruth Weiler, Grade VIII. TIN SHOP On our first day down in shop, Mr. Pierce told us a number of facts about tin, The next time we were told about soldering, and we were given tin to practice on. The first thing we made was a small tin box. Later we made sugar scoops, cookie cutters and dust pans. After we completed the work on the dust pans we were given a choice of things to make. Some made trowels, hammered copper ash trays and boxes. Some of our projects were kept for exhibition. We have had a very enjoyable time in the tin shop. Jack Darlington, GradeVIII. BOOK CLUB The book Club this year was held in Room 2 under the leadership of Miss Stack- house. Everybody has enjoyed the meet- ings. We have read stories, acted charades, and we wrote an ending to a story, “The Lady or the Tiger? The presiding officers during the second semester were President, Lewis Brown; Secretary, Sara Garrett; and Treasurer, Robert McGowan. One Thursday morning in chapel the club members gave a play called “Mother Library’s Tea Party. This play was a great success and was enjoyed by all. Miss Stackhouse borrowed many inter- esting books from the School Library which the members of the club had much pleasure in reading. Mp.DRED Clouser, Grade VIII. MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club has been practicing songs during the past few months. On June 6th, we are planning to give a pro- gram in chapel. Some of the songs that we have been playing are: “Old Black Joe” “Swanee River” “Moonlight and Roses” “Sunrise” We have been playing so we can change from one song right over to another that combines well with it. Mildred Williams, Grade VIII. “TWILIGHT ALLEY” On May 3rd and 4th, in the High School Auditorium the West Chester Junior High School presented “Twilight Alley,” an operetta. It was directed by Mrs. Buchanan and Miss Rodes, who were assisted by members of other Departments of our School. It was an interesting operetta given in two acts. The orchestra, which consists of about twenty-eight members, played before, between, and during the acts. Some of the most important characters were the Mother, Dame Needy, acted by Augusta Spickler; Meg, the eldest daughter, acted by Frances Matthews; Jack, the leader of the Baseball Gang. Ted Rogers; Angelina, an immigrant child, Emily Keech; Lily, the daughter of the owner of the “Old Shoe,” Sheila Saxton; and choruses made up of Meg’s sisters, Jack’s baseball gang, and children of the neighborhood. The Butterfly Dancers, with Charlotte McKay as a solo dancer, were very lovely. About fifteen choruses or solos were sung during different parts of the operetta. It was the first operetta presented by our Junior High and we feel it was a success.

Not to he left out of the celebra- tion, the Garnet and White wishes to announce its honor speakers from the Exchanges. We must confess that there were many close competitors for all of the honorable positions. The attendance has greatly increased since last Fall, and we are very glad to welcome so many new visitors. The first announcement is that of the honor speakers. Wah I loo, Allegheny High School, Pittsburgh, Pa., has been chosen valedictorian. Its work has been most favorable to the school. The ability of the students is used in various ways to make the paper most explanatory of school activities and most interesting to the readers. The different numbers are illus- trations of the variety of material the contributors have at hand. Green and White, La Salle College, Manila, P. I., is the salutatorian. This magazine has shown fine co-operation on the part of the editors throughout the year. We consider it salutatorian, because it is very large and because every page is used to the best advantage. As a literary magazine, it is one of the finest. The awards for the other three additional honor speakers are based on appearance, material, originality, and description of school activities. The magazines which the Garnet and White consider finest in these respects are: The Stampede, Dallas, Texas; The Whisp, Wilmington, Del., and The Radnorite, Radnor, Pa. With this an- nouncement may we offer our congratula- tions to all the parties concerned. The best “all-around” paper selected is Panorama, Binghampton, N. V. As the name of the award signifies, we think this paper to be worked out most finely in all departments and in every respect. This is a very worthy honor for any paper to hold. And now for the perfect attendance awards! There were only two which had regular, monthly attendance, but many missed it by only one month. The two are Old Kennett, Kennett Square, and Glen Echo. Glenville, Pa. The most literary award goes to The Academy Scholium, Merion Station, Pa. Throughout the year this paper has come to the Garnet and White with the same fine editorials and stories. Even the Sports News was written in a most inter- esting, literary style. The Ottawanian takes first place for being the most illustrative of our exchanges. The covers are always attractive and explanatory, while the frontispiece does much to describe the number or cover. For these reasons The Ottawanian is to be honored. 1'he awards for those magazines con- tributing at least two major comments on the Garnet and White are given to the following: Gleam, Cincinnati, Ohio; The Stampede, Dallas, Texas; Picayune, Ba- tavia, N. Y.; Wah I loo, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Student's Pen, Pittsfield. Mass, and Red and Blue, Jenkintown, Pa. At this time we want to extend to all of our exchanges much appreciation and grati- tude for their fine co-operation in helping us throughout the year. We have found many of the criticisms such as we could heed, and we hope that through profiting by the comments we can hand the Garnet and HITE to its future editors in a finer condition than it was when we received it. 75 ASSEMBLY NOTES SENIOR HONORS Senior Honors for the Class of 1929 are as follows: Valedictorian, William Dowlin; Salutatorum, Malcolm Dewees: Paul Carn- athan, Theodore Halteman, Elizabeth Scat- tergood. The three pupils named last were chosen by the faculty on the basis of char- acter, scholarship, and service to the school. These pupils will speak at the Commencement Exercises on Thursday evening, J line 13. DECLAMATION CONTESTS The D.

And, too, there is about to close for us forever this Volume of the Garnet and White, the twentieth year of the maga- zine’s existence, and we hope one of the most outstanding in its history. We, of the Staff, have earnestly endeavored to make it so; we have poured out our every effort at the shrine of the Garnet and White, striving to make it interesting, worthwhile, and, in all, a magazine worthy of the name and the colors it bears—the Garnet and White of the West Chester High School. Whatever achievements we have effected through our school magazine, whatever reputation we may have gained, and what- ever success we may have reached -all is owing to the support, not of the Staff alone, but to the great cooperation of a far more numerous body. The financial support of the Garnet and White is in a large way derived from advertisers; we here acknowledge our in- debtedness to them and make known our gratitude to them. And to those who did their bit to aid this magazine of West Chester High School by subscribing, the Staff also direct their thanks of support. You are the ones who were the incentive to our efforts, and we have trier 1 to please you. And last—but in no conceivable way least in importance—we, as Editor, take this opportunity to congratulate the Staff, that have so well supported the Garnet and White. You were the real supporters. We thank you. At times the Garnet and White has been a stern task-maker; often its dictates have been tyrannical, it seems. But as we take leave of it, well may we look backward with pleasant memories of our service to West Chester High School in this magazine and may cherish the satisfaction that we have done our best. We part with the Garnet and White— may it fall into cherishing hands! We— the passing Staff—offer to the coming one our heartiest wishes for success. Now we part; the last sentence has been written, and the book is reverently closed. The Editor. 77 (Complimentary list of Jricniis of «antri anti fflhih- I I'irst National Bank National Bank of Chester County J. Comly Hall Joseph Hill banners and Mechanics Trust Co.
