We raise to you our hearts in one glad song. Our love, which ever blossoms forth anew. Will be directed through our lives, to you. New paths to walk, new friends to make, you've giv’n To us. Our souls through this to you are riv’n With iron fetters that will never break, Though each of us a different path doth take. We now are leaving to combat the world. And leave where’er we go, banners unfurled. As living, glowing symbols of a hope Undaunted by the earth's unconquered scope. Oh, Alma Mater, be with us for aye, And guide us in the straight and narrow way That we must follow if we wish success. As onward toward the final goal we press. Carolyn Harrar, ’31. Garnet and White Staff- 1931 “BUILD IT WELL, WHAT E’ER YOU DO” IN THE beginning of our lives we all create thoughts and habits. These rule our later lives; they make or mar our future; they are the foundations upon which we build the structures of our minds and our “castles in Spain.” If the foundation is of rock, then our structures will stand immovable by the storms of life which seek to destroy them; but if the foundation is of sand, then all our labor is for naught, and our buildings will fall down about us in hopeless ruin. One of the strongest influences on the building of our characters is the environ- ment in which we live. Not merely our homes, our families, but also our contact with the outside world. Our earliest memories of outside associations are connected with our schooling. With sympathy we look back upon ourselves as small children, beginning our school careers, and unconsciously laying the foundations, brick by brick, for our future. School days are building days; building in mind, body, and character. Our minds are enlarged by our studies. Left alone, we would accomplish little, but guided and encouraged, our visions broaden until we see the world through a seemingly magic eye—the eye of knowledge. Through the athletic training we receive, we are slowly taught the fundamentals of physical well-being as we build our bodies to withstand hardships. The sense of fair-play and sportsmanship which pervades each school is a strengthening note to every character. In no place is there the temptation to do the wrong thing, and the satisfaction gained from doing the right, as in school. Can we not truthfully say that the Class of Nineteen Hun- dred and I hirty-gne has safely passed all pitfalls and come through with flying colors, ready to take a place in the world? All we owe to our Alma Mater can never be repaid; our love for the guide through our most impressionable years can never be expressed; we can only work, strive, build toward an unknown achievement that will bring honor and glory to the school of our youth. We are coming to the first milestone along the way—Commencement. It marks the place where we must start out alone to discover the niche which each of us has to fill; it means that the standards we have erected throughout our building days of High School are to be tested to the limit, but we are not afraid to meet all tests with high-held honor. Our hearts are filled with sadness at the breaking of the old, dear ties that bound us to our Alma Mater. We are unwilling to leave the well-trodden path for a new and perhaps unexplored one, but it is inevitable; the parting of the ways has come, although Time will never diminish the flame of love that burns in our hearts for our Alma Mater. We go forth; the greatest thing for us has suddenly become the building iof strong, enduring, satisfying lives that will do honor to ourselves, our school, and our Creator. “Build it well, what e’er you do; Build it straight, and strong and true; Build it high, and clear, and broad; Build it, for the eye of God.’’ Carolyn Harrar, ’31. The Garnet and White a a a • THOUGHTS AT COMMENCEMENT TIME To thy duty now and ever! Dream no more of rest or stay; Give to Freedom's great endeavor. All thou art and hast to-day. SENIORS, four long years we have been coming to High School. Of course, there were times when we felt that we would be glad when it was all over and became tired of the work. But, all in all, haven’t we had a glorious four years together—not all work, not all play, but a happy combination of the two! I his has been preparatory work for us, just a small taste of the things we shall soon undertake. We dare not dream longer of rest and play; we must find our places in the world. We must give all that is in us to complete the duty set aside for each of us, to make this world better. Wc should indeed l e grateful to our Alma Mater for all it has meant to us work, of course, but also fun and fellowship with each other. Just as we have worked together here, we must work together in the world, wherever we may be. Just as we have had pleasures together here, we shall soon have pleasures with others. Things will be different, though ; we may have to work together in a different manner, to play together otherwise than we have been accustomed. But our Alma Mater has taught us how to adjust ourselves to circumstances. In contests with others we have learned to accept defeat as gracefully as success. Incoming ac- quainted, too, with those lessons that only defeat can teach. We have been taught that, if wc win, we should be sportsmanlike in the treatment of our opponents. e have lieen shown that success comes only to those who work, not to those who slip by with as little as possible. Finally, we have seen that we cannot live to ourselves in this world, but must consider others' happiness, if we ourselves would be happy. Let us fit ourselves into our environments, whether it be in this very town or a thousand miles away. “Give to Freedom’s great endeavors all thou art and hast to-day.” Above all, let us be grateful to our Alma Mater for so well preparing us for that which is to come.

We were very Jshy, As we entered the halls Of West Chester High. NEARING THE END We are nearing the end; We are almost through; But there are much harder tilings For us to do. Sometimes we would -look At our lessons and sigh; They seemed so hard For us to try. When we get away From our friends so dear. There'll be no one to comfort Or give us cheer. But we stuck at our jobs And did our best; We have borne our burdens, And stood the test. We shall then look back On those days and sigh, “Oh, to be back At West Chester High.” Virginia Barry, ’31. Looking Back Poor little sophomores so forlorn. Coming to school one September morn ; From class to class we went in a haze— We thus began our High School days. E CAN’T forget the first few days of our sophomore year, during which we patiently en- dured withering looks from upperclass- men and unnecessary commands from those trifling things called hall monitors, as we slowly became acclimated to circling them. We were the proverbial sophomores, silly, perhaps, sometimes; but sensible, too. As our leader to guide us through the sophomore shoals, we chose Jesse Clark. We acquired a lot of dignity when we added our purple and white class banner and pennants to our treasures. In the Sophomore Essay Contest Adele Cole- man and Joseph Yarnall won first place. Our star basketball girls startled the upper classes into notice of us, when they won the girls’ class basketball championship, which was, of course, quite a feat. We should not forget to mention our sophomore party, where we had a “barrel of fun” celebrating St. Patrick's birthday. After much hard work we drew near the end of the year. It seemed unbelievable that we were to reach the dignified state of Juniors; but it was true, so we proceeded to make the most of the opportunity. In our Junior year we started off merrily, ready to show our worth, and did it. Charles Gruber became our President, Helen Wertz, Vice-President; Virginia Barry, Secretary, and Jesse Clark, Treasurer. We had hardly got- ten over the excitement of being upper- classmen, when our class orator, John Reason, walked off with Honorable Mention in the Boys’ Speaking Contest. Although we won no honors in the annual Spelling Contest, our class was well represented. We added still fur- ther to our dignity when we received our class rings before Christmas. Excite- ment reigned in all classes the day of the Girls’ Speaking Contest, for Anna Cohen Childhood Days of Our Seniors The Garnet and White a a a proved her extemporaneous ability by winning first place, and Adele Coleman honorable mention. Some people feel that The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword, and we pro- ceeded to demonstrate the truth of this statement in the Junior Essay Contest in which Carolyn Harrar captured first prize and Adele Coleman, second prize. June came with examinations which we ably weathered; thus we were—actually, we were Seniors. We walked on a seemingly magic car- pet when we trod the halls as Seniors. We were in an entirely different atmos- phere, surrounded by respect. As hall monitors, we tried to fulfill our positions capably, and we upheld the honor of the Senior steps by using them whenever we could. Norman Robinson was elected to be our President during this, our last year of high school. Virginia Barry has acted as Vice-President, Helen Wertz as Secretary, and Richard iMitchell as Treasurer. The most prominent of the actors in our class were Charles Gruber and Rosy” Polite, who were among the capable Seniors in the cast of the Dra- matic Club play, Out of the Night. In the annual Spelling Contest, William Hunter proved himself to be the best speller of the Seniors by winning second place. March came, and the Senior Essay Contest. Helen Ingram studiously ap- 33 plied her magic pen to paper and carried off the honors with Natalie Hill a close second. Who can forget the many woes caused by Burke? We came through the ordeal successfully, however, much to our satisfaction (and to Miss Swa- dener’s). The excitement and thrill of Baby Day was experienced on May 1st, when the Seniors came to school armed with lolly-pops and toys, to say nothing of the amusing costumes. We had one of the most successful Baby Days ever held, and have been congratulated on the spirit of co-operation shown in both the program and the activities of the day. As the honor speakers for the Com- mencement Exercises, Anna Cohen, Adele Coleman, Margaret Gibbons. Helen Wertz and Joseph Yarnall were chosen to represent our class. As the year neared the end, the Class of 1931 made another conquest. All the honors of the Sara C. Evans Extemporaneous Speak- ing Contest were won by Seniors. Grace Boyer received first place, Evelyn Kar- matz, second place, and Adele Coleman, third place. These awards were a fitting climax to the record made by '31. As we set out to conquer the world, each in a different field, may the lessons we have learned in West Chester High School be an impetus to do great things. Let us remember that we All are architects of fate, Building on these shores of time ’ Carolyn Harrar, ’31. TO THE CLASS OF 32 Hail! Class of Thirty-two! We, departing, sing to you. We’ve had our fun in many ways, And hope that yours are happy days. When we are old and gray, On some bright future day, We'll think of you and sigh For the days which have all gone by. We hope you'll find the joy We found in every toy Of childhood dreams and fun. And remember us each and every one. Hail! Class of Thirty-two! We, departing, sing to you. Be right, play fair, and never cheat Is a motto that is hard to beat. Sally Hayward, ’32. I ..............

Upon removing it, whom should I see but Charles Gruber, the hero of Out of the Night,” in ’31. Surprised? I almost fell off my chair; but after recovering my consciousness I managed to get a good story—the main facts of which are that Mr. Hackett is planning to retire from theatre life, being bored with the strenu- ousness of it all, and to go abroad where he will live with his wife and family near Monte Carlo. The surprises were not ended, how- ever; for on leaving the dressing room, I met no body else but Sally Haywa rd, who was making herself useful by being Technical Director of Broadway's hit” shows. Since it was time for lunch, Sally and I rode happily in her old Essex. Being sentimental, she could not part with the car which she had possessed since High School days. The vehicle seemed to bring good luck. We ate in an expensive restaurant on Fifth Avenue. The place was rather dull until we recognized MortonWowney the leader of the original Pennsylvanian Jazz Crooners,” to be Rosey” Polite (of course, he had assumed another name, but fortunately he could not change his face beyond recognition!) Being extremely busy, he did not stop to talk with us, but now since I know where he is I may have the opportunity to in- terview him. As Sally was busy with a rehearsal, I left her and proceeded to do some shop- ping. I noticed a very charming French Shoppe which, according to the window decorations, specialized in women’s wear- ing apparel. 1 entered, but before I had chance to glance about, I was greeted by a lady whose name was apparently Mademoiselle Tappiere. At first the name baffled me; then I recognized the demure smile of Helen Tapper even un- der the French sophistication. She told me she had been buying dress shops all over the world, but somehow the shop in the old town of New York seemed most fascinating because it was merely a few hours’ drive to her old homestead in West Chester. After talking over old times, I hated to leave; but business drove me on. Wailing for a taxi, a large Foreign car drove past slowly which attracted my attention because of its extraordinary color—a beautiful orange. Surveying it closely—since it stopped on account of traffic signals—I recognized Miss Nelda Wvnn sitting comfortably back in the cushions. She hadn’t changed a bit ac- cording to that short glimpse, but I never remember having seen her sit so still and dignified unless it was in study hall 5th period back in '31. Yes, that was it. What a peculiar reflection, but a happy one which brought tears to my eyes (but it might have been from the dust floating about.) To recover my sense of balance, I bought a newspaper. T always read the local news first; but since I found noth- ing there to interest me, I began to scan the front page. Staring me in the face were these headlines: Marjorie Pierce, dlt.TT V vnt mrner ul tl — 4-a ft fKrtZiob o nt JT iB(r.(ul-eS � ' X Zci.e y of |.hL Co-nftif , IIT J OFfutri ! .rt i A T nA A -----------ssss The Garnet and White a a a 37 famous ‘radio-blues-singer,’ sues pub- licity agent, Natalie Hill, because of the latter’s vivid descriptions concerning Miss Pierce’s love affairs. The book published by Miss Hill is called, ‘Mv True Life Story.” My first impulse was to laugh till my sides ached, and I did; but thinking it over, I decided the matter wasn’t so funny, after all. It was an unfortunate catastrophe which might mean breaking up a life-long friendship, at one time kindled in the historic portals of West Chester High. Well, anyway, the case wasn’t settled; and probably the good- hearted but sensitive Marjorie might see differently with her rich sense of humor and kind heart. Reading on I was positively amazed to see that Gertrude Reynolds, million- aire horse-raiser of Pennsylvania, had made a remarkable altitude record in a 'plane she had constructed herself. The world has more versatile people in it than I thought. To think of it. My old pal making aviation records as a mere pastime. I had just about reached the breaking point from so many sur- prises. I decided a good, healthy swim was just the right relaxation. I hailed a taxi and drove to the Y. M. C. A. It wasn’t long before I found myself wet and shivering standing behind the best swimming instructor the eastern states had ever known. Since her back was turned, I was debating with myself whether or not I should ask her to in- struct me in taking the Junior Life- Saving Test. This was my twelfth year attempting it, but never say die. I tap- ped her lightly on the shoulder; and when she turned around, I was so as- tonished my feet lost control and I fell backwards into the cool, green depths of the pool; but with Betty Howe’s aid, I found mysell safe on terra firma once more. To think of it, Betty Howe, a great swimming instructor. The idea was astounding. Were we glad to see each other? The afternoon passed all too quickly, and again it was time for me to move on. With sorrowful fare- well, I made a leap for the subway and home; but somehow the curb came up to meet me and I fell, much to my em- barrassment. Miraculously, I was able to get up and limp along to a doctor, who, noticing my agony, greeted me cor- dially and immediately bandaged my slightly sprained ankle. The doctor took off his dark glasses, and I recognized Charles Abernethy, formerly of West Chester. After expressing our surprises at seeing each other, we talked of old times. I told him of my exciting exper- iences that day, and he told me what a few of the members of '31 were doing. He himself was a very successful eye doctor, horse doctor, and surgeon; but since there were few horses in New York, he very seldom got the opportunity to prove his ability. He said that Lige’ Highley—now a “Mrs.”----------hail re- signed as president of Bassar College for girls; Helen Wertz was teaching piano lessons and had a group of 300 promis- ing, talented pupils; Evelyn Karmatz was head instructor of dramatics at Hale College; and Ethel Reagan was doing very well as a novelist. She was living in Italy and was painting landscapes for a pastime. It seemed that every body had fared well. When I finally reached home, I was too exhausted to attend the opera; but I deeply regretted that I didn’t go after- wards, for the next morning I read in the newspapers that Alexandria MacLcnnan had made her debut in opera. The critics praised her highly, saying that she had every chance for success. Well, that ends my experiences for one day on the staff of The Mirror,” but I had more surprises on that day than I ordinarily have in ten years. Helen Ingram, ’31.

Helen Chalfant, 31 The Class Will o f 1931 E, THE Class of 1931, have at last realized that our dignified position as Seniors of old W. C. H. S. is rapidly drawing to a majestic close. The members of the class have decided that it is now time to write our last farewell will for the school. With fond memories lingering in our memory of our four years here we now write our last message to the remaining ones. But first, the teachers who have done nobly in their work, must be thanked. The class assures the teachers that they have clone well in their task of teaching us. And now, the Class as a whole wish to leave to the lower classmen the follow- ing privileges: I. The pleasure of occupying the front seats during all chapel exercises is hereby bequeathed to the Junior Class. Preserve them as we have done. 2. We bequeath to the Class of 1932 the very privileged right to the use of the marble steps to the entrance of high school. Protect it with all your strength and dignity. 3. The Class of 1932 is bequeathed the honor of going first in the lunch line. If you are lucky, you might beat the teachers to it in the lunch line. 4. We bequeath to the Class of 1932 the observance of Baby Day. Have your costume ready before hand, and stock up now on your lollv-pops. 5. The Class of 1931 bequeaths to the Class of 1932 the honor of being hall monitors. Be in perfect health be- fore accepting the honorable position 6. We bequeath to the Class of 1932 the undeniable right to study about the doings of those great characters, Burke and MacBeth. We are sure you all will enjoy the study. (?) 7. I, the president of the Class of 1931, do hereby warn the next senior president to be prepared to write this last testament before June. 8. We bequeath to the Class of 1932 the privilege of occupying the rooms B-l, B-3 and B-4 for your large class. Please try to keep Mrs. Cole- man from having to worry so much about the condition of the room, B-3 during your stay there. Some individuals of the Class of 1931 wish to hand down to certain individuals of the Class of 1932 certain honors and abilities which they arc to uphold with particular zeal. They are: Charles Gruber requests that his posi- tion as class sheik be handed to the veteran, Raeder Huey.

Class of ’31, Godspeed YOU who graduate and go out into the world now will carry with you my sincere interest in your pro- gress. You were my mother class (I have a foster-mother now,) and in your company I have spent many happy and many serious hours. I have joyed in your several and individual triumphs and sympathized in failure and trouble. Now that you are leaving me behind, my sentiments are no whit changed or les- sened. Rather they are the more en- tirely concerned with your welfare. You will have harder battles to fight, more difficult decisions to make, more distant goals for which to strive. In your suc- cesses I will be with you, if not in body then in spirit, to rejoice with you. In your failures and misfortunes I will be with you to sympathize and console with heart-felt sincerity. “Where ever you go. What ever you do, I want you to know my heart is with you.” Throughout your life in W. C. H. S. you have worked and toiled and striven for good grades, for honors, and some- times for prizes. Often it was necessary to do extensive work on the side, but you realized that prizes do not come as a matter of course—they must be worked for. You wouldn't even have been in the running if you had not been en- rolled as a student at W. C. H. S. Now as you go out to fight your bat- tles, to win your prizes, and to attain your goals, have you forgotten or neglec- ted the greatest prize that can come to man—an eternal crown of glory in heaven? Have you enrolled yourself as a citizen on high? Enroll now—else to what purpose all your labor, of what consequence all your preparation and anxiety. Remember that at any time your book of life may be closed, the columns added up. When you have made your citizenship in heaven sure, then you are ready to render yourselves faithful stewards who need not be ashamed and vessels fit for the Master’s use. Class of '31, I bid you Au Revoir, but not Good-bye, and, with apologies to Tennyson, assure you that: I prav for thy soul. More things are wrought y prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore my voice shall Rise like a fountain for thee night and day. David John Hunter, ’32. 42 ▲ a The Garnet and White HI 0 rfnrtm j| T OCPf.

Through happiness or strife. Now Juniors, take some warning Before we leave for aye— Do just the very best you can In every possible way. You may not realize just now That work is well-worth while. But you will find it very true, Before you join our rank and file. Loafing on the job, we find, Is not the thing to do; For those who loaf and amount to much Are really mighty few. If you do your best with Macbeth; Give Burke his due respect; Copy correctly your Senior essay— On you much honor will reflect. We leave with you these words of truth. You must do the rest; But “every day in every way,” Be sure to do your best. Carolyn Harrar, '31. A Tale of 1931 Van’s Horn echoed through the house. It was the summons for the guests to assemble. We had been raising the Dickens all day and, frankly speaking, we were looking for a new thrill. “The Coleman's Barn net is down,” shouted Van, “let's go!” Upon entering the barn we found a Few farm implements, among them a Harrow (a -), and an old Ford Carr. This last was the most important, however, and, having a liking for Fords, we climbed in. “Oh, Boy, 'yer going to get a wild ride now,” called Van as we started down the long Hilt that led to Linde's camp. At the foot of the Hill a llighley indignant Steward of the law handed us a ticket. Van smiled divinely. His smiles would have beGuild old Lucifer himself to hie away to his diabolic domain. “Now, officer,” he said, “you shouldn't be Rash in the way you hand those around. Better tear it up before the ink Dries.” Tear it up he did, and we went merrily on our way. A treasure hunt was decided upon, and at the cabin of the IFiley, old, Scotch Hunter we stopped. He was out in the garden trying to Pierce some yarn-covered Hoopes with a painted arrow. His only explanation was, “The Yarn'll be better.” Going Wood ward, we suddenly encountered a species of reptile which we all agreed was an over-grown Grubb worm. As the monster turned toward us. Van yelled, “Stamp on ’er head, and Carl'er away. We’ll Barry (bury) 'er when we come back.” Just then the Scotch Hunter called “Bach, man, bach,” for he had heard a Mohn. There quite near us was a lovely young lady dressed in a smart Brown suit. “Lapp'er on the shoulder,” whispered the Hunter. “Howe did you get here?” Politely asked Van. “Oh,” said she, jumping up, “I am Mac's Bride, and I’m here to Wynn a bet, but now I’m Cohen home.” She left, and we stayed, but when our hunt was over, and we were ready to go, no trace of the Ford Carr could we find, so we walked back to Van’s house. There in the Coleman's Barn we saw the Ford. Howe had it gotten there? Suddenly we remembered what we had forgotten before. Mac was the Coleman!

Did you ever have more fun than at the “Farmers' Frolic? Remember the funny costumes and queer dances which the farmers did? Have you forgotten “Old MacDonald’s Farm?” No, I am sure these pleasant thoughts will linger for many years. February 13, which happened to be a Friday, was certainly far from a day of bad luck. At 8 o’clock, in spite of the rain, many juniors and seniors could be seen hurrying toward the New Century Club to attend the annual Prom. After we had had a most delightful entertain- ment, the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The great variety of styles and the many different colors dis- played in the dresses made the party a very pleasant affair. As we danced to the sweet strains of music, I am sure everyone felt in his heart that school days are best days of all. Virginia Barry, ’31. COOPERATIVE COUNCIL The Student Council has been very busy throughout the year and has dis- cussed and solved many problems aris- ing in the school. Although it is not so widely heard of, it is very active and vitally important in school life. Every meeting was a full discussion period, for there was always some new problem. It is necessary now, in order to make this organization lasting, for the stu- dents to join more heartily in giving suggestions and to increase the enthusi- asm for it, without which no organiza- tion can progress. Frances Mathews, ’32, Sec. COMMERCIAL CLUB Another year has rolled around, and has been a very successful one for the Commercial Club. Just imagine! Forty- seven people joined in September at the very first meeting. That is certainly a good start for any club, but that isn’t the only reason for our success. At each meeting thereafter we had more new members until by March, membership had almost doubled. This doesn't mean that the eightv-eight people came every meeting, but a large majority of them did. One thing of special interest in the club was the variety of programs we had during this season. Of course there were speakers at some meetings (not dry ones either) and then, too, we had moving pictures of Breyer’s Ice Cream Plant shown by a representative from the Company who told us about the making of ice cream on a large scale. At one meeting a spelling contest took place, and at two others we were entertained by plays given by the members. The one greatest event, the picnic, which takes place at Lenape Park, has not as yet been given, but we all look forward to it with longing hopes and desires for the fun to begin, to say nothing of the lunch. Someone has asked, “Of what use is the Commercial Club?” The answer is to help one become acquainted with new pupils, learn to work as an organized group, and to have a good time. Isn’t this an almost complete definition, members? So let’s give a loud RAH- RAH for the benefits and good times given us by this year’s Commercial Club. The Garnet and While A A A 57 West Chester High School Orchestra, 1930-1931 SEW® ® ® West Chester High School Band, 1930-1931 58 AMORES VERGILI Will the Seniors in the Classical Club, Amores Vergili, ever forget the ex- citing card parties, miniature plays, and impersonations of characters in the Aeneid we enjoyed? Besides having a good time we familiarized ourselves vvi th Vergil and his works. Our meetings were held on special celebrations and when it was convenient. Miss Jackson was greatly responsible for the success of the club, because she took us on many trips through historic places in Europe which were strangely real due to her own experience. Believe it or not, we actually endured the horror” of visit- ing the underworld, enjoyed the quiet peace of Vergil's home in Mantua, and followed some of the exciting adven- tures of our leader Aeneas. We hope that the Seniors next year will carry on this worthwhile club which mixes fun with facts. Consules: Lydia Highley, ’31. Helen Ingram, ’31. DRAMATIC CLUB The meetings of the Dramatic Club this year have been exceedingly suc- cessful. Our first gatherings were to teach us to have confidence in our ability when acting before an audience. Finally, after numerous oral speeches and individual displays of our emotions, we forgot our nervousness and set about to develop our latent powers in the dra- matic field. Continued work along such lines as these prepared us for the Senior High School mysterj' play, Out of the Night, which was, as we all can say, a decided success. The members of the cast were chosen from all the classes of the Senior High, and, whether we were talented enough to get in the play or not, we aaa The Garnet and White learned many extremely important points concerning dramatic acting. Our Dramatic Club party was one of the most interesting events of our club’s work. The group and individual actings were all very praiseworthy. Of course you remember the winners, but if you have forgotten them, I will tell you who they were. Evelyn Karmatz and Anna Cohen were awarded the five dollar prize for the best group perfor- mances, and Carolyn Harrar and Bertha Ryder received honorable mention. Of the individual performances, the first prize of five dollars went to Charles Gruber, with honorable mention to Bay- ard Rustin and Anne Whitcraft. One of the one dollar prizes was awarded to Anna Cohen for the best write-up of dramatic acting she has seen on the stage or screen. The other one dollar prize was awarded to Dora Evans for giving the best suggestion for Dramatic Club for next year. As a number of our group performances were quite good, they were allowed to be reproduced in a chapel program. I’m sure you remember them. Now Dramatic Club has ended this year, but let’s make it even a greater success next year by exerting all our efforts to make it truly an organization to be proud of. Dorothy Sill, Sec., ’31.

Memorable Scenes from Out of the Night 60 ▲ ▲ ▲ The Garnet and White HISTORY CLUB The plan which was inaugurated in History Club this year has been carried out successfully and will probably be continued next year with meetings in- volving greater thought and care. Now, that it has a start, it can work in a more elaborate manner. The officers of the club together with some of the members made up the execu- tive committee which strove to guide and to choose subjects that would be interesting for the meetings. Most of the current problems in the foreign countries were covered, thus giving the members a clearer conception of the modern world. Throughout the year approximately twenty-five or thirty students attended the meetings, anti those in charge of the club hope to have just as compact a body next year. Frances Mathews, ’32. FRENCH CLUB I am sure that those of us who attend- ed the French Club meetings this year had a very enjoyable time. We learned about the origin of the French language, about many of the French customs, and about the French towns. Two of the most interesting meetings were the Christmas meeting and the lecture which Miss Thomas gave about “Chateau Thierry.’’ In order to be a member of the club an average of at least eighty is required. Any member who wishes a pin may obtain one, but he must forfeit it when he becomes ineligible. Each meeting was well attended, and next year we hope the club will have an even larger membership. The members feel that the year’s work has been both profitable and creditable. Tillie Sheneman, Sec., ’32. SCIENCE CLUB The membership of the club was large this year and our meetings were well attended. At all of our meetings we had very interesting speakers, some of whom were as follows: Mr. C. C. Sanderson—“Minerals of Chester County.” Messrs. H. Mathews and W. Tuohy— “Development of the Telephone.” Messrs. V. S. Smith and J. H. Bar- ton—“Development of the Rayon In- dustry.” Dr. G. A. Spratt—“The Principles of Flight of an Aeroplane.” Besides speeches, our entertainments have included musical numbers by the teachers. Since this year has been well appreci t- ted by the members, we hope that next year and in all the years to come, the members of the Science Club may keep up and extend the good work of one of the oldest clubs in our High School. John Reason, Reporter, ’31. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee of the General Association has held but two meetings this year. The regular method for awarding letters for athletics was followed. An amendment was made to the constitution to provide for cross- country letters. The money taken out of the checking account last spring was restored to the Savings Fund. A sticker for our school was proposed; but as we did not have any need for it, the matter was not followed up. The Constitution will be revised so that it will agree with the constitution of the Boys’ and the Girls’ Athletic Associations. As money is needed to meet expenses, four hundred and fifty dollars will be taken from the Savings Fund. Esther Preston, Sec., ’32. The Garnet and White ▲ a ▲ 61 West Chester High School—Class of 1932 ACHIEVEMENTS OF JUNIOR CLASS This year has been one of outstanding success for the Juniors, both in scholar- ship and outside activities. Our boys took all three places in the D. Webster Meredith Speaking Contest, defeating a picked field of scholastic orators. A Junior, Bayard Rustin, was the winner of the annual Gorgas Essay Con- test in our school. In the Spelling Con- test the Juniors proved themselves victorious, taking both first and third places. Tillie Sheneman outspelled all other contenders and won the cup. The Junior Tea was a great success, bringing the parents into closer relations with the teachers. The Junior Play was a notable enterprise, eliciting much favorable comment. Again the Juniors proved their ability in the Inter-class Track Meet, winning quite handily. Also in athletic contests they have proved themselves capable. Several of the year’s outstanding ath- letes were members of the Junior Class. The Junior Class has compiled a splendid list of victories, and it is hoped that success will attend its endeavors as a Senior Class. Juniors, your responsi- bility as the coming Seniors is great, but I’m sure you can and will meet the test. John Cessna, ’32. 62 ▲ ▲ ▲ The Garnet and White THE INTERCLASS MEET Among the many important victories of the Juniors, during the past year, was the interclass track meet. In this event the Juniors showed superiority phsyical- ly as well as mentally. With victories in the speaking contest and in essay writ- ing, the Class of '32 stepped onto the Cinder path and sped to victory. True there was opposition, furnished by the noble Seniors, gallant Sophs, and the fighting Frosh, but the Juniors showed heels to all. They were especially strong in the sprints and, with a few seconds in the field events, the day was theirs. The Junior girls likewise ran, jumped, and threw to victory. When all the points had been gathered and counted, the Juniors were pronounced Kings and Queens of the May with the Sophs, Sen- iors, and Freshmen, following in the order named, as heirs of the royal family. All in all it was splendid May-day for the Juniors. Sam Herman, ’32. THE JUNIOR CLASS We've brains above the average; We’ve spunk for any sport; We’ve got the pep above the rest. With a full-bloom “A” report. W e’ve laggards, too, and some don’t care. The same in every class. But still we guess, and surely hope. From school we all shall pass. We’ve writers famed, and jokers, too. And chocolate buds galore. We eat in class from nine ’til three. And still we clamor for more. But, putting all these jests aside, (Let’s put them to the rear), We'll show full well where'er we re seen; Just watch our Senior year. Martha Louise Hubbard, ’32. SOME KINDLY ADVICE TO ’33 Well, child ren, we of ’32 wish to wel- come you to our place—to the groove which we are just leaving. Be sure to fill it well, for it might warp, and that would be a calamity. As you journey onward, lie sure to keep in mind how generous and magnanimous we are being in allowing you to occupy our honored seats as Juniors. There are a few little things which you should remember. Now that you are Juniors bear in mind that you must always use the Seniors Steps. Always, too, be first in the lunch line. Our policy has always been—first there, first served. Never study in Study Hall. It used to lie used tor that purpose, but that was an old- fashioned idea; and, as the auditorium has since been remodeled, make the best use of it. Never return books to the library on time. Keep this institution as a fine place to spend your extra pen- nies. Remember, the library needs your support, and to what better cause could you lend your aid. Ne ver translate “Cicero” at home. Always do it in Chapel Period or you are likely to forget it. When you take up History XI., don’t think that the work you had in eighth grade will do you any good. The only thing to remem- ber is the Revolutionary War. As to other lessons, don't do them at all. It might hurt your brain if you stirred up your gray matter too much. Now, dear children, keep in mind what I have told you, and your life as Juniors will have very smooth sailing. Best wishes for a happy time. F. M„ ’32.

AT CINDERELLA’S WEDDING The birds were there And the bees were there, Filling the twilight summer air With the sweetest songs and melodies rare. At Cinderella’s wedding. The flowers opened their petals wide— Hundreds of flowers side by side— And then, my dears, came the groom and the bride; The black-haired prince so handsome and bold. And Cinderella with curls of gold. Her dress was of cob-webs silky and fine. “Oh,” cried her bridesmaid, “I wish it were mine.” A more beautiful picture had never been seen. Not even the wedding of the king and the queen Could surpass this—you know what I mean. Why Cinderella’s wedding! A dance was given to honor the pair, And stars were the candles, so high in the air. The birds’ orchestra played a slow waltz- ing tune. And everything ended lots too soon. Then soon they could hear the fairy chime. So they left—after having a marvelous time.

Spring probably means happiness be- cause of the weather, but to the student comes the added joy of the realization of a two-month lay-off from school. Let us think back a moment. Have we gained in full the benefits offered to us by the school and the teachers? I haven't, and I am just assure that many other students have not. And why not? It is simply because we have been too lazy to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities of acquiring added knowl- edge. We have done enough to just it a _ � get on. Why not make a resolution to give up some of those nights at the movies next year in favor of doing our home- work well? Why Not? Ted 0. Rogers, ’33. FOLLOWING ALONG Turning the pages of High School's activities, one finds the Sophomore class ranking high. Active parts on athletic teams—football, hockey, bas- ketball, baseball, and track, are being taken by members of the Sophomore class. Not only are we near the top in athletics, but in all other scholastic ac- tivities as well. I he Sophomores are up and ready to go, always prepared, and supported with pep. Sophomores have attained the ability to follow, to learn by experience. Let's continue with this fine peppy spirit so that we may become a class to be depended upon a class to which other classes will look up and which they will be proud to follow. Ella J. Wagner, '35. Superintendent of the Insane Asylum Did you get those five men who escaped?” Guard—“Five? We got thirteen.” GOOD LUCK! Another school year has drawn to a close. For some of our number, it is the end of High School, but for the rest of us it is the end of just another year. Though our marks seem to show most of the people what this year has meant to us, only we know what we have gained. Perhaps we are very well satisfied with what we have gained and with what the school has gained because of our being in it, but if we aren’t what can we do about it? This is entirely up to us. We can t do anything to make the past year better, but we can come back determined to make the next year the best one ever for West Chester High. Let us think about this and come back ready to work for our High School. To the Class of '31—all the Luck in the world! To the classes of '32 and '33— All the Pluck in the world! Florence Betts, ’33.

The Seniors think they're ahead; But are they sure it is this way. And they're not being led? In all of the school sports. We've more than one letter man. We have many in the orchestra, And many in the band. Sophs were in for speaking. And were in the spelling bee; Sophs do prominent work in clubs. In fact, in all activity. So you see we are important. Though our class is not so old; But we’ve done so much, indeed we’re worth, “Ten times our weight in gold.” Katharine Sautter, ’33. 70 ▲ ▲ a The Garnet and White The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ ▲ 71 TO W. C. H. S. (Inspired by memories of Scott’s “Lady of the Lake ). Hail to the school which in triumph ad- vances! Honored and blessed be the Garnet and White! Long may the light in our seal meet our glances. Shedding its radiance and guiding us right! Heaven send us honor true; Earth lend us strength to do, Deeds that are valiant in work and in play; While every hill and glen. Send our shout back again—- “West Chester High School forever and aye!’’ Eleanor Street, ’53. THAT’S MARSHALLTON Where the sun shines brightest. Where the clouds are whitest. And the hearts are lightest— That’s Marshallton. Where the skies are bluest. Where friends are the truest. And enemies the fewest— That's Marshallton. Where the flowers are sweetest, Where the birds are fleetest. And homes kept the neatest, That’s Marshallton. Where each can take a jest. Where you’re a welcome guest, And ill receive the best— That’s Marshalton. Marjorie Chambers, ’33. “Jo” Wagner—“I’ve got insomnia!— Can’t sleep a wink!” Ruth Weiler—“I had it, too! But I bought a revolving bed and now I sleep like a top!” DAILY PUN Ann Whitcraft—“Where’d you get that flower?” “Ted” Rogers—“Down the street! There’s a whole bunch of'em hangin' on a fella's door!” “Bob” McCowan—“What is the best thing to do when the brakes on one’s car give way?” “Dave” Hickman—“Hit something cheap.” VACATION It’s nearly here, that glorious thing, Vacation, vacation. When we, as well as the birds, shall sing Vacation, vacation! No longer shall we have to rise. In vacation, vacation; Nor be in homework, up to our eyes. In vacation, vacation! All of us hail you, magical word, That brings to us all such joy. You are the best we have ever heard. For you bring summer to each girl and boy. Eleanor Pyle, ’33. BLOSSOM TIME Blossom Time, Blossom Time, The prettiest of the year! Trees and flowers and leafy bowers. In gayest dress appear. Blossom Time, Blossom Time, The bees will soon be humming; For rainy day and sunny rays, Will tell them summer’s coming. Blossom Time, Blossom Time, Means school will soon be o’er. Then put the books in cozy nooks. And close the school house doors. Helen Hagerty, ’33.

All but three of the Junior High School members have participated in every social func- tion in which the orchestra has taken part. The Junior High School has been represented in the woodwind and the string sections of the orchestra by the following: Violins—Samuel Gray, Frank Free- man, Franklin Newman. Flute—James Hippie. Oboe—William Krauser. Clarinet—Robert Mitchell. Violin (part time)— William Bender, Frank Kimper and Leonard Godshalk. Franklin Newman, Grade VIII. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CONTRI- BUTIONS TO THE GARNET AND WHITE During the past year, the Junior High School pupils have contributed many fine poems and stories to the section which is assigned to them in the Garnet and White. There have been many different types such as: poems of all kinds, stories appropriate to the season or month, accounts of club doings, reports of sport events or games and editorials. One issue of the Garnet and White was devoted entirely to poetry, and this section contained some fine work. Even though the contributors are not so ex- perienced, we find they have done very well. It might be interesting to know that in the year’s production the Eighth Grade contributed twelve articles, the Ninth Grade, eleven; and the Seventh Grade nine, making a total of twenty— eight articles. We only hope that the Junior High School is just as successful next year. Mary Frances Weeks, Grade VIII. TRACK AND FIELD DAY On May 1st, 1931. Junior High School was excused for the afternoon to take part in the annual track and field events. Senior High also held their events on the same day. This year the object was to work for points for one’s class and not for individ- ual honors. The Ninth Grade girls were given first, second and third place in high jumping, first in the basketball dis- tance throw, first in the three-legged race, and first place in the suitcase race. For each first place, five points were given. When the final scores were given out it was found that Ninth Grade was given first place; Seventh, second place; and Eighth, third place. Seventh grade however, gave the Ninth Grade quite a battle. The boys also did very well in high jumping, the sack race, half mile relay, fifty yard dash, hundred yard dash, and the foot ball throw. Miss Strickland and Miss Miller were in charge of the girls’ events, while Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Haupt were in charge of the boys’ events. Altogether the meet was a great success.

The Garnet and White a a A 79 Junior High School Operetta, 1931— Pickles THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS The annual Junior High play, given under the direction of the late Miss Matulitus, on November 14th and 15th, 1930, was quite a success. This play “The King’s Choice,’’ a drama, was very well executed and enjoyed by the large attendance. The Operetta produced was “Pickles,” a musical comedy in three acts, pre- sented on the nights of May 8th and 9th. The High School Auditorium was filled' to its capacity each evening. The director of the play was Mr. Hart, who was ably assisted by several of the teachers. The members of the cast all took their parts well. A few of the interesting facts behind scenes! ! ! ! It was decided to limit the days for rehearsal, but notthe hours; for we have heard that some parents were about to call on the police department to search for their children. You would, no doubt, know after see- ing the play that expert love making was necessary. A member of the faculty gave us many demonstrations. When Louisa embraced Kinski in practice we all thought it would be necessary for Mr. Zimmerman to give lessons in tackling. Mr. Hallowell performed his job so well that one of the members of the cast took a back flop into the mystical pool when she was supposed to have seated herselfon a stool, which had accidentally been moved. If the water had been very deep she would have drowned, because all of the boys ran for their lives instead of saving her. However, taking it all into considera- tion, we enjoyed every moment very much. Emily Keech, Grade IX. CHAPEL PROGRAMS Junior High School Chapel which is held on Tuesday and Thursday of each week has been very interesting all year. Two of our speakers were the Rev- erends Mr. Howlett and Mr. Ulrich who gave us very interesting talks. The different music classes gave some very charming plays. The 7-3 section gave a court scene in which a complaint had been brought against the Junior 80 AAA The Garnet and White High School's singing. We finally con- vinced Miss Complaint” that our sing- ing wasn’t so had after all. The 7-2 section gave an interesting play called Nursery Rhymes”. Two children had fallen asleep and dreamed they saw all these things in nursery land. The chil- dren acted their parts out very well. Ninth grade gave several plays and sang some lovely songs. All these plays were written by the classes and directed by either Miss Rodes or Mrs. Buchanan. The Boy Scouts gave two short plays under the direction of Air. Lear: the first called The Curtain Fell;” the second called Goldenrod.” The West Chester Night School pre- sented a play called Thursday Eve- nings.” Mr. Lear was the main char- acter. The Cheyney Singers entertained Junior High School with some spiritual songs. Several students from State Teachers College entertained us with some songs at Christmas time. We hope that our programs next year will be as interest- ing. Eloise Dicken, Grade VII. THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS For the past year there have been eleven Junior High Clubs. The students find these clubs, the meetings of which occur every other week, very enjoyable as well as instructive. The Art Club, under the direction of Miss Johnson, is to further the interest of Junior High in Industrial Arts. The Athletic Club for boys, directed by Mr. Haupt, is sponsored for the pur- pose of developing boys physically and mentally and teaching them individual and team games. The Athletic Club for girls, under the supervision of Miss Strickland, is to develop girls physically and mentally, teach them the fundamentals of the major sports, and develop leadership, good sportsmanship, and a sense of responsibility to others. The aim of the Aviation Club is to create an interest in aviation among the boys of the Junior High. This organ- ization is under the instruction of Mr. Benner. The Book Club, under the guidance of Miss Stackhouse, is sponsored to give its memljers the opportunity to read good books and to learn to enjoy a higher type of literature. The Camp Cooking Club for boys is taught by Miss Lewis. The object of the club is to acquaint boys with suit- able camp food, its preparation, and its serving. The Craft Club, taught by Mr. Aluth, is to promote an interest in the study of leather, its use, and the making of leather projects for home and school use. The Dramatic Club’s purpose is to train its members to appear and speak before an audience. The organization is sponsored by Miss Farra. The Fancy Work Club, directed by M iss Scheetz, is to develop girls’ skill in handiwork, to learn to embroider primarily, and to be able to use leisure time to advantage. The Science Club, organized for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the wonders of modern science, learning about some of the famous scientists, and applying science to every day use, is instructed by Mr. Elinsky. The Travel Club, under the guidance of Miss James, is sponsored for the pur- pose of gaining information about the different places in the world for enjoy- ment of travel, and for learning about travel. The Clubs have had an active year and have been enjoyed by all. Betty Jones, Grade VIII.

We have tried to improve our magaizne by heeding your advice; however, there have been some suggestions that we have had to ignore, because of limited space. Nevertheless, we have received a host of new and novel ideas from magazines of the other schools. We have also tried to make our magazine more interesting to its readers by pub- lishing poems, jokes, and interesting bits of news which have been taken from other magazines. We have received during the past year many favorable comments and a few adverse criticisms on our various departments. We have tried to profit by them wherever possible. We have especially endeavored to enlarge our Literary Department. Before saying farewell to our Ex- change friends until next September, we, the Staff of '31, wish all the future editors success. Although we have read all of the magazines with pleasure, dur- ing this last year we have especially en- joyed the following: Missemma for your short stories and poems. Gleam for your editorials and “Trad- ing Post.” Wall Hoo and The Stampede for your cuts. Ye Ridlyan for “Traveler's Tales.” Radnorite for your Christmas Num- ber.” Gryphon for your “All at Sea” num- ber. L Envoi And now, with this issue of the Garnet and tf'hite, we close its pages again at the end of another school year. It has been a happy year too, hasn’t it? We have been successful in many ventures; and especially, we hope, in the Garnet and White. Of course, its success is due not only to the fine work of the staff, but also to the splendid cooperation of the students in handing in liberal contributions, to all our subscribers, and to our advertisers, without whom our magazine could not exist. You on the staff have had trouble to get material at times and have been discouraging often; but you have succeeded in your work, have done your part toward making our Garnet and White a real success. Of course, all you subscribers, as well as giving us encouragement financially, spur us on by showing that you are interested in our work. You who have contributed articles to this magazine are naturally a vital part of those to whom its success is due. Really, though, wasn't it a pleasure to write articles and then to see them in print? We can not thank you advertisers too heartily for your support and for your interest in the Garnet and White, for naturally it takes money to issue such a magazine. To all who have helped us in any way at all we express our sincere-thanks. We wish the members of the staff for next year great success in their work' The Editor.
