Harlan Slack, '38 Willard Lutz, IX John Lewis, '39 2 ▲ a The Garnet and White Alma iflntrr Soon I must wander far from thee Into this wide world that is calling me. Within thy walls I have learned the truths; Within thy walls I have learned the virtues: Never to forget the friendship thou has taught. Something sacred and golden which cannot be bought. Thy knowledge and strength are deep in my heart. Where they shall remain though we must part. It’s thy loyalty, happiness, and trust that I gain. Which I shall always link with thy name; This is what thou has done for me; Dear Alma Mater, Farewell to thee! Barbara Lewis, '37 The Garnet and White a a a 3 2Icat HJe Jfiorget June 17, 1937 TODAY we are but students; tomorrow we are men and women of the world. Let us remember what we have learned in our school days—not only the studies and the work, but also the philosophy of life as expressed by our leaders and teachers. When we enter the “outer” world, we should carry with us the ideals of American living: the democracy that is the heritage of the American people; the ideal of right above might; peace and commerce rather than war and death; respect for religion, law, and justice; personal liberty coupled with public cooperation; and the self-virtues of honesty, courtesy, service, anil honor. With these ideals before us we can aid much in the growth and progress of our community, state, and nation. George Boortsalas, ’37 “Site iEttft of the I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, But for what you are making of me; I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life. Not a tavern, but a temple.” WE have come to the end of Life’s beginning. The beginning was chosen for us; now we must choose the end. Will it be worthy of our effort? As we leave the footpath and enter the highway, we turn our thoughts back to the days of work and fun: laughter in the hall, cheerful “hellos on the steps, understanding eyes, and sympathetic conversations with a friend. All these things mean West Chester High School to us. No matter how far we may wander, she will always be a part of us. II. Anne Powell, ’37 So till Class of WHEN you draw near to the end of your four years of your high school career, no matter what your medium, your goal must always be the same: to learn to think clearly and to live successfully with other people. Your achievements in the world will be proportional, as you will soon find out, first, to your ability to face facts squarely, to analyze them thoroughly, to make decisions wisely—in short to think clearly. This alone, however, will not be suffi- cient. You, just as we, are members of a social group which makes demands upon you, and, in return, grants you varied rights. You will receive privileges only according to your willingness to assume obligations. During the past three years many of you have been active in conducting affairs of your class and school. No doubt, this experience has endeared your high school life to you, for it is only in proportion to unselfish service rendered that life be- comes enriched. I hope that the ideals of West Chester High School will guide your actions so that you may develop into worthy and honorable citizens of our great country. May eternal qualities—loyalty, kindness, and justice—be per- manently yours. Evelyn Smith, '37 4 A A The Garnet and White iK units rniit iKnaitstcrs TODAY, more than ever before, efforts are being made to combat the menaces of the highways and reduce the death toll. Safety and police organizations conduct special classes for the needed training of the driver, so that he will be “risk-conscious” and will know how to handle his car under various road con- ditions. Whether you know it or not, this has been the prime motive of our schooling for the past twelve years—that is, to manipulate wisely and soundly the intangible highways of life. Fortunately, most of us have been riding this proverbial highway as passengers in a well-equipped bus with hardly a worry or a care and nothing to do but watch the scenery. But now, after all our prerequisite training, we shall abandon the bus and perhaps the appellation of an undergraduate “on the campus of life” at the first cross-road; and, with some farewell advice and best wishes, we shall set forth upon the remainder of life’s journey in our own roadsters, whether they be model T or V-16. Of course, for some of us who are going to college, the road will be well-paved and the driving comparatively easy for the short distance of four years; but it will not be long before we shall all be fellow-wayfarers destined for some lofty goal, ourselves at the wheel. The roads are long, tedious, and hazardous; and they require the utmost skill and caution, especially to avoid ruts and blind alleys and not to miss the rather obscure sign posts. However, the ultimate rewards are success and happiness; for every road has its “pot of gold”. The problem is to reach the pot in the limited span of a lifetime. Nevertheless, with hard work, sacrifice, and wisdom we cannot possibly fail. D. G. Roehrs, '57 ♦ Anrhnrs Aumijlj, mates! THE time has come for us to unfurl our sails and cast off from the Mother Ship. A new period has dawned upon us, and with our banners flying we sail lor lands beyond the horizon. The time brings tears of sadness and joy to our eyes as we part with the staunch old vessel which has sheltered anti counseled us for the last three years. As we leave familiar shores, however, there shines through the darkness ahead a radiant beacon to guide us. It is a last reminder of the happy goal set for us by our Alma Mater as we confidently put to sea in our little craft. On the beacon is written Success. Our compasses point to Integrity, Loyalty, Reliability, and Ingenuity. Our guiding star is Hope, and the motive power will be supplied by Cooperation, Effort, and Good Will. Many royal standards fly at our mastheads; they are our valiant banners of purple and white. Through long ages purple has stood for Nobility and white for Purity. With these in our code, we shall be armed against many evils. 1 here is an old Chinese saying that ships we send out to sea must eventually return to their home port. So may it be with us; although each one of us sets sail tor a different port, we shall all return to our Alma Mater some day and bring with us the Glory which is her due. As we are about to embark on this new voyage, let us hope and pray for guid- ance and fair-sailing. Let each of us adhere to the rules of and play the Game of Life fairly and squarely. Eight bells, and the coast is clear. Cast off. Mates!

The Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-seven 40 ▲ a The Garnet and While BLUE RIBBON BABES OF '37 The Garnet and White a A 41 A Qlratl iBiazeto of ’37 ON the fourth clay of September, 1934, a group of future pilots-to- be gathered at the main ticket office of the Hy-Flying Transportation and Training Corporation of West Chester, Pa., a company which engages extensively in the teaching of the future trail blazers of the skies. Three years of study and practical experience were necessary for the com- pletion of this course. The experience was to be gained in various parts of the world. Accordingly, we set out on our tour of the land of education. Since there were nearly two hundred of us, several planes were required to carry us to our first stop, Soph Africa. These planes, driven by supercharged motors, were piloted by experienced and expert avia- tors: Pilots Winch, Prutzman, McCor- mick, Lady, Shetter, Henderson, Pinker- ton, Musselman, 1 lallowell, and Zearfoss. Co-pilots and stewardesses were llause, Swadener, Stone, Dietrich, Russell, Cole- man, Hoffmeier, Chandler, Schmidt, Jackson, Hunt, and the Millers. Me- chanics Zimmerman and Richmond, as well as radio operator Urich, also accom- panied us. The first day we merely lounged around preparing for the take-off to Soph Africa. The next morning five graceful ships took off—the' Classical, General, Commercial, Scientific, and Vo- cational planes. But suddenly the students were shaken up. Someone looked out the window and saw that there was a storm of books headed our way. The students prepared for the worst. Soon the big motors began to cough, choke, and sputter. The students were worried, but the pilots knew that it was only a strong headwind of homework that was retarding the planes. The condition was soon corrected, and we landed safely in Soph Africa. There we pursued our studies of Life’s airways. Since we were not yet allowed to solo and had to remain on the ground, we amused ourselves with a variety of diversions. Political Bosses Cox and Pyle harangued the group that gathered about their soap-boxes. The girls be- came oratorically minded and held a little contest all their own. In this one, Students Lytell, Lack, Hill, ami Law- rence participated. In the field of dramatics we made a forward step when Students Miller, Dutton, Cox, and Jeflferis took part in the class play, “The Man Next Door’’. Feeling in a writing mood, we dashed off an essay apiece in which Students Brinton, Hill, Barry, Hutchison, Lytell, Masciantonio, Miller, Pennington, Pol- lock, and Strode emerged with top honors. Since our first year was about com- pleted, it was decided to award honor roll pins to those deserving. These included Students Boortsalas, Lytell, Lawrence, Pollock, Smith, Scott, Padmore, Pen- nington, Simon, and Edwards. Soon another year had rolled around, and we headed for the Junited States. (At least most of us did—a few who hail remained up in the air all year crashed headfirst into the Volcano of Exams, and were rescued only in time to be saved in the Hospital of Summer School.) In the Junited States we pursued more advanced work, which included the reading of “Julius Caesar” and “Idylls of the King”. Once again our broadening interests caused us to hold speaking contests, both for boys and for girls. Those participating were Students Cox, Masci- antonio, Hill, Lytell, Gray, Dutton, and Weeks. Our class was well-represented in spelling contest, which was won for the first time by a boy, a boy from our own ranks. Student Masciantonio!

She told us that Doug” and Herbert Andress were the movie censors for Washington, that Eleanor Dutton and Gordon Roehrs had just sailed for France, and that Marjorie Speer and Bud” Steinmetz had just been married. As we passed the Capitol Buildings, who should come out but Robert Scott, the youthful President of the United States. I lis body-guards were none other than Reynold Reed and David Street. We jumped at the chance to go through the White I louse. The doorman, William Underwood, admitted us; and one of the President’s secretaries, Miriam Ewing, showed us about. At four o’clock the dietician, Doris Lilley, served tea. That evening a meeting of ambassadors and envoys was held. President Scott introduced us to John Masciantonio as envoy to Italy, Edward Simon as ambassador to England, and Chandler 1 larper as envoy to Brazil. We then went to see Rose Lack, William Barry, and Creswell Barrett in the opera, Carmen”. The orchestra was under the direction of Donald Mohn. Its membership included Marguerite .Marsh as violinist, and Jean Whitworth, as pianist. On the next day we were driven to the Art Gallery by Warren Garrett, the President’s chauffeur. We saw many prize-winning pictures by both Anna Miller and Clarence Smedley. At the Congressional Library we met Louise Heed, head librarian. As we were pass- ing the Senate building, who should appear to greet us but I larold Penning- ton; from the House of Representatives came George Boortsalas and I larold Litvin. That evening two national athletic awards were presented, one to Anne Powell and the other to Frances Paxson. Diana Crosson and Ella Smith were awarded nursing medals for their work in the recent war between capital and labor. Later the President had short conferences with various people: Rufus Edwards, controller of gold mines; Emily Hill, Sec’y. of Interior; Jayne Jefferis, Sec’y. of Labor; Bayard Swayne, oil magnet; anil Fred Morgan, member of the I. C. C. On Wednesday morning we visited the American Institute, where we found Evelyn Smith and Virginia McFarland, teachers of anatomy and algebra re- spectively. In the afternoon we were driven to the Supreme Court Building. Among the fifteen” (?) justices we saw none other than our mutual friend, Casper I lagemans. Talk about bad pennies! All the time we were enjoying our tour of the city (in the President’s car), we were followed by two persistent news reporters, Jeanne Lytell and J. Warren Frame, III. The evening papers were headed “Woodward-JFebb Smuggling Gang Brok- en”. Those who were caught besides the leaders were Paul Snyder, Donald Stoneback, and Frances Smith. We also read that Dorothy Supplee Zugg had exterminated a blight which was harm- ing the new, prize-winning Worthington apples. On the society page we saw that Emilie Pollock had just been married, after having taught Latin for ten years. In the rotogravure section were pictured Millicent Highley and her champion horse. 46 A The Garnet and White The Garnet and White a a a After reading all this exciting news we decided to take in a night club, the owner of which was none other than Jimmy” Janes. But what particularly interested us was that his entertainers were Vera Bostell, Mary Zimmerman, Betty Dalton, Violet Spaziani, and Betty Bartels. On Thursday we just wandered around and met Dorothy Walton, Grace Schwartz, Bing” Miller, and Frank Matchner, who were doing the same as we—visiting their nation’s Capital dur- ing a vacation, for they were all teachers. The window of a news-stand which we passed bore the name Clarence hates, Proprietor, so we went inside and purchased a “Billy”, a five-cent nut bar manufactured by William Merrick. On the counter we saw Westy” cigarettes, a best-seller” made by Westwood and Co. I found four interesting cards and sent them to Thelma Wood, happily married, Rhoda Glasco, noted teacher of music at Lincoln University; Kather- ine Reynolds, a physician’s wife, and Mary Waldbuesser, a teacher in W. C. H. S. Friday saw us on our way to Mount Vernon in a hired sight-seeing bus. In Alexandria we stopped at a tea house and bought some souvenirs which the owner, Mary Walton, said were made by the Rosenbaum Co. She also informed us that the new Episcopal minister’s 47 wife was Jane Hutchison. We saw in the center of the town a sign:_______ Nuttall-March-Montgomery Sons Contractors Our driver, Delmar Miller, told us that we knew the men’s wives: Sara Pryor, Louise Gray, and Martha Brinton. We found the caretaker of Mt. Ver- non to be Frank Landers, who told us that he had just returned from his vaca- tion which he had spent in St. Louis at the big farmers’ convention. There he had met Helen Frank, Viola Gibbons, Mary Phenneger, and Ellsworth iMaxs- ton. In the course of our conversation with him he said that the nearest radio broadcasting station was operated by Marshall Regester and Joseph Wallace. That night the society page contained pictures and accounts of the elaborate wedding of Alice Strode, a prominent society lady of West Chester, London, and Paris. To bring our trip to a close we went to a debate held by the League ol Women Voters. The contestants were Carolyn Cox, Republican, and Eleanor Carrigan, Democrat. The question was Resolved, That all citizens should be compelled to vote.” Within five days we had come into contact with almost a hundred people whom we knew. What a small world this is after all.!

And now we leave thee For Highways of Life. ||: We would be mindful, Of thy care and teaching And walk in paths Of truth and of light. (Repeat.) Marguerite Marsh, '37 JUNIOR CLASS SONG . Farewell to the Senior Class; We are proud of you. You’ve taught us sportsmanship And school spirit, too. You’ll leave an empty place We must strive to fill; And we shall follow bravely Victorious, come what will. II. Next year we must say good-bye Though we’ll want to stay. We’ll try to make the best Of each coming day. You’ve set the goal for us Toward which we shall strain, And ever through life’s pathways Your memory will remain. Music—Ruth Pierce Lyric—Marion Powell Jane Killefer ♦ ♦ HAIL! AND FAREWELL Hail! and farewell to thee! Our sojourn here is o’er, We face the future gallantly. Our hopes before us soar. Our school-life was a happy one. With joy outweighing trial— More serious—the life begun. Confusing for awhile. Thanks to our teachers, one and all! Your guidance helped us through; You’ve answered each and every call And made your teaching true. Goodbye, goodbye, we’re leaving you. Our childhood haven dear, We shan't forget the days shot through With work and joy and cheer. Catherine J. Huber, ’37 -♦ ♦- FAREWELL It’s now farewell, West Chester High; Our course with you is done. We leave, but not without a sigh When thinking of the battles won, For knowledge sought was knowledge taught When we were in your care; And all the truths for which we fought You gave us in full share. And now that time has swiftly flown— Has ended days with you, We’ll take our leave—but have it known. To you we’ll still be true. Thelma Wood, ’37 58 The Garnet and White MACHINE SHOP, 1936-1937 THE MACHINE SHOP MARCHES ON UNDER the fine supervision of our shop instructor, Mr. Fred H. Glanding’ we have been able to set higher standards this year in our machine shop in order to meet the rising requirements established by manufacturing concerns throughout the country. Cooperating w'ith Mr. Glanding are three manufacturing concerns in the vicinity of West Chester. They have taken into their plants most of the senior machine shop class of '37 in order that the seniors may receive more practical training in rounding out their career. It is difficult to overemphasize the important part our machine shop has played in turning out boys ready to enter the industrial world with a high school diploma. In the shop this year many new castings underwent construction. The opera- tions required on them have brought into play all the machinery our shop has been able to maintain. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to observe the fine work done by the boys this year in making the bench-milling machine, the drill press, the circular saw, the wood shaper, and many other things too numerous to mention, know the great work that is being done. The machine shop Class of '37 is composed of: Fred Breitinger, Earl Jefferis, Charles Macan, Joseph Nields, Elmer Nuttall, Robert Rowe, and John Trego. We hope that those who follow in our steps will greatly improve the standards we have tried to maintain. Fred W. Breitinger, '37 The Garnet and White a a a 59 WOODSHOP, 1936-1937 THE WOODSHOP THE Seniors of the Woodshop have had a very successful career throughout their four years of high school work. They have profited from working on many assigned projects, among which was the construction of a house during the senior year. 1 hey have made flower boxes, book-cases, candle holders, lamps, and tables. Much valuable training was also derived from working on scenery for the various school plays. The Seniors in the Woodship are Thomas Armstrong, Orville R. March, William Mark, Robert Montgomery, William Peterman, Joseph Papouschek, and George W. Talley. We wish the best of luck to future Woodshop classes. Thomas Armstrong, ’37 ♦ The Woodworker by Douglas Jtaltoch Each man to his trade. Thank God for mine!— To fashion out of the hearts of trees Some lasting beauty, from oak or nine Or fir or walnut, and things like these. To make the cradle, to shape the chair. To lay the sills of a house somewhere. Each man to his trade—and each is good. And serves its purpose, and does its part; But we who work with the pungent wood Are serving mortals and serving art. Some build for beauty, some strength design; Thank God there’s a bit of them both in mine. Each man to his trade; his skill I praise. His honest toil at an honest task, But mine has fallen in pleasant ways— A greater boon I would never ask Than curling shavings around my ieet, And the sawdust smell that is always sweet. Each man to his trade—thank God for mine! Whatever others may find to do; I’m sure that this is a plan divine. For men have need of a shelter, too. Each day men toil at their chosen trade. And then come home to the things 1 made. 60 ▲ a ▲ The Garnet and White Class USUI K, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Seven, being urideniably of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testa- ment.

The winner was John Masciantonio; Jane Killefer was runner- up. April 9—The program today was in charge of the Music Department. Mr. Hart explained the two ways of playing modern music. The orchestra demon- strated one of the ways by playing Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Then we heard this piece played in the two ways on record- ings. For an added attraction wre heard Benny Goodman's recording of Stardust. April 16—It was proved to us today that we really have some talent in our school. A group of sophomore girls gave a tap dance. “Eddie” Simon ex- hibited his skill in swinging Indian Clubs. We then saw some of the mem- bers of the Tap Dance Club do a number. Some of the girls in the Tumbling Club gave a very good exhibi- tion. The boy’s Tumbling Club was also very good, even though some of their feats were breath-taking. Mr. Zimmerman awarded the boys’ basket- ball letters; Miss Miller awarded the girls’ basketball letters. April 25—No assembly. Senior Class meeting. April 50—-Today the Seniors were in their joy. It was Baby Day. Jlay 7—Sophomore members of Dra- matic Club entertained us with a fine production of ’Op-’0-Ale-Thumb. May Id—Senior members of Dramatic Club produced Bread.

A!ay 2S- Final Senior Class Assembly. Barbara Lkwis, ’37 62 A A A The Garnet and White ' OP- O’ -.HE- THUMB 'Op 0' Ale Thumb is the play pro- duced by the Sophomore Class this year. It is a comedy although it contains not a little pathos. To obtain the merit and the praise which you gave to the cast of this one- act play, they worked exceedingly hard and conscientiously under the able direc- tion of Miss Dietrich. The petite “Mandy” was delightfully portrayed by Betsy Forsythe. Celeste, that catty young lady w'lio sang with more gusto than tune, was played by Jane Dougherty. Helen George played the part of Rose, one of the hard-boiled laundresses. Clem or the proudly-married Mrs. Galloway was played by Hilda Gill. Edna Taylor portrayed the part of the officious, energetic Madame Jeanne Marie Napoleon de Gallifet-Didier. Last, but not least, of course, the hero of the story was well-played by Don Prutzman. Three cheers for Miss Dietrich and this able cast for producing this delight- ful comedy—or was it a tragedy? Lianne Lytell, ’39 BREAD Bread, a one-act play given by the senior class on May 14th. The plot tells of the problem of the farmer a few years ago, before the government aided him financially. The setting is at the Curtis homestead. Martha Curtis and her daughter Betty have saved their butter and egg money for six years in order to buy a piano. They have one hundred dollars. Jim, the only son of John and Martha Curtis, is sent to town to pay for the piano. In the meantime John comes in from the fields telling of the old mare’s death and of his need for a new tractor. When he learns of the hundred dollars, he calls the bank telling them not to give Jim the money. He wishes to buy a tractor. He and Martha have a bitter quarrel. Martha tries to tell John that one “can’t live by bread alone,’’ but that one needs music and pictures and books. Finally she gives in and tells him to get his tractor. Jim enters and says he has spent the money gambling. Stella, a daughter who is blind, saves the day by offering John sixty dollars which she has saved from her basket weaving. A little humor is added to the play by Grandma Curtis who insists through- out the play that they need a bathroom more than a piano or a tractor. The actors were, in order of appear- ance : Stella, blind daughter.............Grace Swartz Grandma.............................Jane Hutchison Betty, youngest daughter............Rose Lack Martha Curtis........................Ann Tomlinson Jim. only son...................Chandler Harper John Curtis, farmer..............Francis I aird Jane Hutchison, ’37 —♦—♦— THE FIRST DRESS SUIT The Juniors presented the last of the one-act class plays in assembly on May 21. The title of the play. The First Dress Suit, suggested a comedy; and, after seeing Billy Barry as the seventeen- year-old owner of said suit, the audience knew it was a comedy. The scene is laid in the living room of the Hardy home amidst the liustle of preparation for Betty Hardy’s (Ruth Anderson’s )wedding. Teddy Harding (William Barry), the incorrigible young brother, is actually planning to wash behind his ears in honor of the great occasion of his “first dress suit”—much to the surprise of his mother (Edna Mae Schwalm). To everyone’s horror, the wedding clothes of the groom (Ralph Cox) are lost. Teddy is crestfallen when he is finally made to understand that his dress suit must become Johnny’s wed- ding clothes. Finally, by a clever ruse, Teddy proudly dons his own suit. He feels that Fate has indeed been cruel to him when he learns that because of an injury to the minister “there can’t be any wedding, after all.’’ Anne Clayton, ’38 The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ ▲ 63 A LUCKY BREAK. 1937 A Lucky Break On March fifth and sixth, members of the Sock and Buskin Club carried their audiences to a small New England hotel, where they viewed the inside story of the lives of the proprietors and boarders. A Lucky Break is a fitting title for the three-act farce comedy. As the play opens, all await the arrival of Mr. John Bruce, played by Marvin Weiss. Little did they realize what an important part Mr. Bruce was going to play in their lives. He suggested ways in which Mrs. Mullet, portrayed by Leila Tripp, could improve her business at the hotel. Benny Ketcham, whom we know as Willard Ronk, sold his cemetery lots by the help of Mr. Bruce, who really bought the lots to put up a factory. In that way he helped the whole town. Eleanor Dutton as Jura Charente, dancing teacher, was given the opportunity to succeed. Tom- my Lansing, played by John Lewis, was given a chance to do some real painting. Of course there were comedians too. Diana Crosson played the part of Elmine Ludine Smith, one of those maids who do all the work. Alchiba and Alphecca Spinter, played by Jeanne and Lianne Lytell, were impressive as, shall we say, “wood simps”. Kathryn Brittingham was a superstitious Bella Me Watt. As a contrast to the role of comedian might be classed a “sour puss”. Such was Edward Simon as Abner Ketcham, the small town “big shot . The story would not have been com- plete had it not contained some love element. Mrs. Barrett, played by Louise Heed, refused to let her daughter Claudia, played by Barbara Hoopes, become involved in an affair with Tom- my Lansing. To offset Mrs. Barrett, Nora played by Ruth Pierce, pretended to be in love with Tommy. Mr. Bruce was deeply in love with Nora, finally the whole affair was straightened out, and we trust they “lived happily ever after”. Other outstanding characters were Harold Pennington, business manager for Bruce, and Gordon Roehrs, as broth- er of Jura. All those who saw the play will agree with me when I say, “three cheers for the Sock and Buskin Club! three cheers for the actors and actresses!” Jane Hutchison, ’57 64 a ▲ a The Garnet and White SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA, 1936-1937 MUSIC’S IN THE AIR What?

Among the inter- esting features that the band has per- formed are: playing and entertaining at football games, parading on Memorial Day, and giving the concert on June 11, 1937. The annual concert of the West Chester High School Band was held at the Athletic Field on Friday night, June 11. The concert was attended successfully and was very well appre- ciated. Among the outstanding features on the program were Graje's brunet Favorites, a stirring march; Grandiose, Oriental number; In a Chinese 1 etuple Garden; and a modern arrangement based on the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down. There were no soloists for the evening; but as an added attrac- tion the band played many novelty numbers, arranged from tunes which every one knows.

As is usually the procedure the Chorus took part in the Christmas program which is given each year. The pieces sung were very effective and received much praise from the student audience. Between that time and spring there was a lull in which no public appearances were made. However, the learning of new music never stopped. With great foresight Mr. 1 lart looked ahead to the spring concert. When you read this article the Chorus vi 11 hav e given its spring concert which took place on May seventh. Tickets have never been sold for this annual concert, but this year it was decided to sell them and use the proceeds for gowns. In past years the matter of dress has been quite a problem. We hope that gowns will do away with much controversy. This year our Chorus was assisted by the Alumni Chorus with Alumni soloists. Miss Martha Fackler, soprano, and Miss Ethyl Kolb, violinist. The Temple Music Festival is next on the Chorus’s list. Last year was a most enjoyable experience, and we hope that this year will be as enjoyable. Many other school choruses participate in this Festival, and the contest with other music organizations affords a chance of seeing what others are doing. As is the custom, the Chorus sings at the Commencement exercises held in June at Philips Memorial. Altogether the year has been success- ful, and we who are leaving hope that the work of the Chorus will be carried on faithfully by those to come. Rose Lack, '37 The Garnet and White a a a 67 BABIES ON PARADE On Friday, April 30, the underclass- men of W. C. H. S. were taken to Douglas Campbell's party by Virginia McFarland. While sitting quietly in their seats, they were allowed to observe several games and a unique program presented by those at the party. Bar- bara Lewis recited two nursery rhymes, after which Phil Padmore, Eleanor Dutton, and Lucy Weeks sang a novelty selection entitled. Old King Cole. Diana Crosson was rendered great applause on her vocal solo. The Kid in the three Cornered Pants. I might say the flute accompaniment by one of her playmates was superb. A harmonica duet by Ed- ward Simon and Charles Jarrett, accom- panied by a specialty number which brought a good laugh from the audience —Don Mohn and his drum—was en- joyed by the observers. Doug Campbell, young host of the party, surprised the children with his ability to recite that rhyme which we’ve all attempted at sometime. Little Bog Blue. At the close of the party Rose Lack, a small guest, lead the party-goers in Let’s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing, making the solo in her youthful but capable voice. The greatest feature of the program went off with a “bang . (Little Don Mohn kept time with his drum!) Of course, you're anxious to know that this was the Parade. Every baby participates, and the judges get out their pencils and squint their eyes. And what do they see —funny babies; pretty babies; silly babies; all kinds of babies on parade. After the parade, Mr. Henderson, who loves the children, entertained the ba- bies with a story and a clever poem. The prizes were awarded to: The cutest baby (girl) Eleanor Dutton (boy) Jimmy Janes The funniest baby— (girl) Diana Crosson (boy) Joseph Papouschek The most original baby (girl) Millicent Highley (boy) Lawrence Andress Marguerite Marsh, ’37 68 aaa The Garnet and White GIPVIEYV HOTEL 1Ioboken, New Jersey New Address: Bronx, New York, N. Y. June 50, 1967 Editor of Garnet and White West Chester High School West Chester, Pennsylvania (East of Alarshallton) I3ear Editor: I have just run into several members of the 1937 class. I thought it might be of interest to the graduates of the 1967 class to know how successful these graduates of thirty years ago are. First, there is Senator George Boort- salas. Instead of plugging away at a typewriter all day. Senator Boortsalas debates with his fellow senators in Washington. C. Harold Pennington, who like Sena- tor Boortsalas was a commercial student at West Chester High, is now acting in a smash-hit on Broadway. Author Robert Scott has just finished writing “Why Teachers Grow Old in Seventy-five Years”, or “Why I Didn’t Become a Teacher.” Bill Aspinall is drawing cartoons at the present time for the Democratic Party. President-elect for the Republican Party, Will F. I). R. Underwood, is having little or no competition for the presidency. Tom Green is the present Chairman of the Democratic Party. C. Barrett is now writing stories for the Scramo Film Corporation. Vernon I Iammond is running elevators up and down the Empire State Building, the 5th largest building in New York. And yours truly is still pounding the keys. T. R. Thompson, '37 THE AFTERMATH A year’s observation suggests the following ingredients for a “Perfect Commercial Student”: Typing Ability—Rose Merlonetti Stenography Ability—Dot Pyle Personality—Bettie Bartels Politics—Tom Thompson Cleverness—Jane Ward Scholastic Ability—Harold Pennington Spelling Ability—Violet Spaziani Writing Ability—Emily Meckley Dramatics—Miriam Ewing Shyness—Pearl Kochel Singing Ability—Creswell Barrett Put them in large bowl, beat well and put into Office Practice and you will find one perfect commercial student. We hope the juniors can produce one worthy of this description. Mary Zimmerman, '37 COMMERCIAL MEMORANDUM OF 1937 Betty Bartels and her dancing. Jane Ward and her Gregg.

Violet Spaziani, '37 REACTIONS TO OFFICE PRACTICE “For the past three months we have had one of your students in our office securing office practice experience. It has been a great help to us and we be- lieve, in a way, has given the student a better idea of what to expect in a com- mercial office after she leaves school. “We are much in favor of this system, feeling that it is a mutual benefit; and we shall be pleased, at any time, to receive another of your pupils.” Sellhast Chevrolet, Inc. Otto Sellhast, Pres. “I have received a great deal of pleasure as well as experience from office practice.” Jane Ward “Office practice for students in the High School Commercial department is a splendid example of modern methods used in preparing boys and girls through actual preliminary experience with an employer, to acquaint themselves with the problems of their chosen vocation. The temporary employer really becomes a sponsor for the student assigned him and develops a personal interest in his or her success.” West Chester Civic Association “Office practice gives us wonderful experience as well as much pleausre. Pearl Kochel “Not only does office practice give us experience, but it also helps us to over- come our fear of the business world.’ Rose Merlonetti “Office practice for students in com- mercial courses provides partial ex- periences which are quite worthwhile both to the student and to the employee. “The best way to learn a thing is to practice it or live it, and working in a real office comes close to being an ideal 70 learning situation. There cannot be too much of it.” Clyde Saylor, County Superintendent of Schools ‘‘Office practice serves as the founda- tion for all the business career we shall have, and I am sure that all those who experience it appreciate it to the fullest extent.” Dorothy L. Pyle ♦ FAREWELL TO WEST CHESTER HIGH The time has come when we must say Farewell until some other day; We hate to leave; but, never fear, Memories of you will linger near. Our teachers, our pals, our studies, too We say farewell to all of you; I know we’ll meet, and, when we do. West Chester High, we’ll think of you. Dorothy Watson, ’37 a a a The Garnet and White FAREWELL! ! DOTS and DASHES I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the Dots Dashes page during the current year for their fine cooperation and the excellent material they have contributed. With their help and careful thought and efforts, I think the page has become a more vital part of the Garnet and White than it has ever been before. I also wish to thank the readers of Dots Dashes news who are in other departments and who have given their help in making the page a necessary part of our paper. It is this group of people who have made the efforts of commercial students worth- while. I want to extend to the juniors of the Commercial department the sincere best wishes of those of us who are leaving and the desire that they will improve this page even more than we have. I have spoken my piece now, so—Farewell, Dots Dashes! The Editor ♦ ♦ ♦ LOOKIN’ ’EM OVER With Paddy Whack What they say: Lasko says that limewater is put in baby’s milk so that it won’t curdle in big lumps. (Who, the baby?) Marion Powell says that the difference between a meteor and a meteorite is that one is masculine and one is feminine. (That Powell wit!) “Dosey” Wallace was asked how many terminals six dry-cells have, and he replied, “If you connect them all you only have two.” (That’s brains!) The front row in the auditorium at noon looks like Convict’s Row with Miller, Simon, Steinmetz, Swayne, and Frame having the appearance of the day before the execution. Overheard: ‘‘What do they use coke for?” ‘‘Well I wear a coke so I won’t get coal.” Of course you know the Junior girl who is quite enamoured with a “R. R.” man. (Track.)

And the moon comes up. The Juniors will shine.’ Naturally we don t want to appear conceited, hut that little rhyme does seem to fit the Class of 38. We started off with a “bang” in the I). Webster Meredith Boys’ Speaking Contest, by taking all the honors. Our pride and joy, Willard Ronk, won the first prize; Marvin Weiss, the second prize; Jack Regester, honorable mention. Of course the Junior girls wouldn’t allow the Junior boys to take every honor; therefore the result in the Sara C. Evans Girls’ Speaking Contest was a Junior victory with the aid of Edith Sheffield who won first prize. I he Senior 1 ligh play had among its excellent cast a number of Juniors: Ruth Pierce, Leila Tripp, Willard Ronk, Marvin Weiss, Vernon Bates, Ralph Cox, Wil- liam Barry, and Barbara I loopes. Our class has been represented, also, in the field of sports with such outstanding Juniors as: Ruth Anderson, Marion Powell, Doris Thompson, Harry Smith, and last but not least Thomas Johnson - to say nothing of our representation in the band, the orchestra, the Chorus, Cooperative Council, and various club activities. I hen, not to be forgotten, there was the Spelling Contest. Although we didn’t actually win, we ran a close second, with our outstanding personality, Jane Killefer. These achievements prove one thing: if we have the ability to accomplish this much, we can surely accomplish much more in the future. Barbara IIoopes, ’38 82 a The Garnet and White REMINISCENCE As sophs, we ran about the halls trying our best to get in everyone’s way, staring with awe at the seniors and gazing wonderingly at those happy- go-lucky juniors who seemed to be in just the right place. However, on re- turning to school this fall, as newly crowned juniors, we didn’t feel one bit different or more grown up. Of course, some of us did manage to look a trifle more dignified, but our actions spoke louder than our looks. The lunchroom proved to be the scene of most of our frivolous actions. We did everything from smashing paper bags at the most serene and peaceful times, to planting the school’s silverware in some innocent victim’s pocket as he quietly stood, deciding on a ham sand- wich or a roll. Then after-luncheon speeches followed, all of which were received with enthusiastic applause. To conclude the show and probably add some spice to it all, a nice, snappy, swing tune would be played on water glasses. However, the life of a junior is not always one of pranks and joyful bliss. Ah, no; one anti all will vouch for that; for never did anyone look more thought- ful than the juniors, who with bowed heads and feverish brows look over a French test or puzzle over math, and science. And so one could go on, recalling and recounting memories of a most enjoyable year as a junior, but we’ll put the rest of them in our very own personal memory books to be recalled only by ourselves. D. Gordy, ’38 — A JUNIOR’S SOLILOQUY Last year, I entered the West Chester High School. Next year I shall be leaving. What shall I, in the meantime, have done in the three years that I have been in school? In these last two years. have I taken any decisive steps toward the formation and upbuilding of my character? 1 want to go to college. Have I given my teachers the correct impressions those which they, in turn, will give to the College 1 wish to attend? When I entered High School last year, my brain was full of plans. I must take inventory now, and think of how nearly I have come to fulfilling my plans. Next year, my last in school, will be here before I know it, and it will be up to me to try to improve myself in know- ledge and breadth of spirit. You see, my inventory has not been very re- assuring. I have two years behind me, and only one ahead. I now resolve to make next year the best one! Ruth Pierce, ’38 ♦ ♦ POINTERS FOR NEXT YEAR’S JUNIORS Last year upon leaving the Sophomore class we left some hints that would help the coming group if only they would follow them. This year we feel that it is only fair to warn them again. I lere they are and we hope they will help you. We hope you’ve learned by this time the valuable art of getting the teachers talking on another subject. It allows more time for realization. Don’t be too backward in coming forward; but again don't be too forward. Girls—control yourselves in gym class (we speak from experience). Time your w’eary journey to your classes so that you arrive as the last bell is ringing. (You’re in there 45 minutes anyway.) Absorb a little wisdom ’cause after all that’s what you’re there for. Remember: You’re better than Sopho- mores but you've got one more year ’til you’re Seniors. I ry to keep these things in mind; we didn’t. Voices of Experience, J. K„ ’38—D.

I mean not that I love to write themes, but that it marks the completion of another school year. Has it been well spent? Have I made the most of my advantages? Was I a good sport in work and play? Did I show school spirit by participating in extra-curricular activities and by sup- porting school functions? Some of these questions I can answer in the affirmative; others in the negative. Being a Junior at present, I can look forward to next year; and 1 do so with greatest of pleasure. I shall do my best to fulfill my obligation and to show my appreciation for all that is being done for my good. A little “growing-up having been experienced, 1 can realize what this means to me.

Barry Shock Absorber Mary Sharpless Marion Powell, ’38 ♦ FAREWELL The preceding twelve years have been only those of laborious, diligent work for the outgoing class. But at length comes the time of departure a sad time—for we are certain that their presence will be missed in the activities of our school. I he members of the Class of ’37 have been excellent students. Among them are fine speakers, capable leaders, accomplished musicians, great sportsmen, experienced actors, together with all other types of talent and ability which have been displayed. It is because of these admirable qualities that we regret their departure from our midst. After approximately eleven years of earnest study, the class of 38 is privi- leged to step into the ranks of seniors. It is a difficult position to fili, but surely the juniors are equally as capable. Therefore, we, as juniors, do double duty: first—we bid the seniors a sad adieu and wish them great success; second—we try to the best of our ability to emulate their admirable traits. Anna Snyder, ’38 86 A A The Garnet and White nplunmirr Artuntirs The Class of 1939 may credit itself with many accomplishments in both scholastics and athletics. The following students were elected to the class offices: President- George Hoge Vice President Howard Durborow Secretary Betty Conner Treasurer—Arthur Hall Seven seems to be the lucky number for sophomores: seven members partici- pated in A Lucky Break, the chorus claims seven girls; and the class is repre- sented on the Garnet and White staff by seven students. Elinor Zimmerman was awarded third prize in the Sara C. Evans Extemporaneous Speaking Con- test, being one of four sophomore con- testants. Two boys, Walter Wilcox and Joe — - CHIPS OFF THE PROVERBIAL BLOCK This little notice is solely for the inter- est of the Class of '40: If you wish to win friends and in- fluence people”, these six sure-fire ways to success may be of some help: 1— Never do any homework, so you’ll get sent to the office where people can see you and find out who you are. 2— Pass notes in class. Maybe a teacher will intercept one and amuse your friends by reading it out loud. 3— Fall down the steps into the arms of a handsome man, as Helena Haines did. 4— Get into the before school bell sessions”, in the hall outside Mr. Winch’s room. 5 Rip the seat out of your trousers, as Wilcox did last year. 6—For the sixth and final step to success, keep in mind the age-old prov- erb, To have a friend you must be one.” The Class of '59 wishes you the ut- most in happiness and successfulness for your sophomore year. Harry Barber, ’39 Harvey, competed in the D. Webster Meredith contest, with no honors but experience for another year. We were well-represented in the Spelling Contest. The participation in both girls’ and boys’ athletics should be commended; like- wise, the club activities. The winner of the sophomore essay contest was Vir- ginia Wynn; second prize was given to Lianne Lytell. A climax to all these achievements was the fine presentation of Op-o’-Me-Thumb” by Donald Prutz- man, Betsy Forsythe, Edna Taylor, Jane Dougherty, Hilda Gill, and Helen George. Certainly, with such a beginning, the Class of 1939 will in the future be able to challenge any other senior class. Virginia Wynn, ’39 —♦— CLASS ADVICE Activities Period— There is no time like the present. (To do your day’s homework.) Ihstory Class— Wake up and think!” English Class— ‘Impossible’ is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.” French Class— If you want know- ledge, you must toil for it.” Biology Class—“Laugh every time you feel tickled and laugh once in a while anyhow.” Lunch— Eat, drink, and be merry!” Study Hall— Be seen, but not heard.” Jlusic Class—“Sing! It’s good for you.” Latin Class— A word to the wise is sufficient.” Gym Class— It isn’t a disgrace for a man to fall, but to lie there and grunt is.’ AH Classes— It’s better not to know so much than to know so many things that aren’t so.” Doris Woodward, ’39 The Garnet and White ▲ ▲ ▲ 87 ADVICE TO ’40 Give thanks, read, anti inwardly di- gest. First—Remember the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Abide by this and you will win friends among your upper- classmates and teachers (we hope!). Second Enjoy the good fresh air and sunshine. Don’t clutter up the hall during lunch period. This refers to you, yourself, and the paper you will want to throw on the floor. Third To the boys! Don't be bashful at dancing; just please remember your partner’s “sore foot”. Fourth You are not supposed to play football between classes; therefore don’t form an offensive and crash through the hall. Also kindly save your voices and don’t scream in the halls. Fifth Remember the auditorium is for study, not a playground. Maybe the sophisticated senior who sits next to you would like to study. (() rare senior!) Sixth Do not push yourself forward in the lunch line. Since the juniors and the seniors are older, you can readily see why they are so hungry. Seventh—Remember always that ex- perience is the best teacher. Be sure to keep in mind, also: “Verbum sat sapienti.’ E.

With everything imaginable To go out for and get in. We started out with hockey. Then came basketball. Not often were we victors; Next year 'twill be our haul. A Lucky Break, our high school play, Was surely a success. We sophomores had our part in it, And showed our willingness. Our party went over with a bang; The sophomore play was swell. We've quite a sum here, Green White; For “thirty-nine,” let’s yell. Virginia Wynn, '39 SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY Why what in the name of old mother earth! What's happened to W. C. II. S.? Well, for goodnes’ sake! Why, oh, dear me! Of all ridiculous sights to see! Sophisticated seniors with toys. With lollipops and other juvenile joys, Clothed in the dress of childhood day And various other costumes gay. Am I dreaming? How can these things be? Looking at a calendar, I see The thirtieth of April is today. Then a light—of course, it’s Baby Day. Helena Haines, '39 THEY BEAR WATCHING (for tomorrow they'll be juniors) (and the day after seniors) 1. George I loge—He’s just a wow on the track (especially with some hurdles in front of him). 2. Virginia Wynn—A student, if West Chester ever had one. 3. John Lewis—“All the world’s a stage”, and John’s really an actor. 4. Walter Wilcox—He can talk you into anything. 5. Kathryn Brittingham—Is she the business woman? 6. I larrv Barber—I le just “smashes” their hearts. 7. Elinor Zimmerman—Hockey’s her “stuff”. 8. Edwin Moore—He plays a “wick- ed” clarinet. 9. Joe Harvey—The master-mind with the “burr” head. 10. The whole class—It’ll do things! Don Prutzman, ’39 WHEN WE SOPHOMORES ARE SENIORS, IK) YOU SUPPOSE We shall still be poring over our lessons? We shall act as mothers to the sopho- mores? Joe Harvey will have finished eating his pencil? Edna Taylor will still know history dates? Edwin Moore will still want to give details? Kathryn Brittingham will have lost her jolliness? Elinor Zimmerman will still be chatter- ing? Eleanor McCool will still be sa3Ting “I low-do?” Betty Cox will still be occupying the first seat in Latin? Bernard Benson will still be sleepy in class?

The sponsors received cooperation from every mem- ber of the staff. There were eighteen members of the staff, without whom the Newsboy could not have been the success it was. Editorials were written by Beverly Field, who also supplied any ‘‘last- minute” articles needed. Barbara Logan anil Richard Kerwin were the very efficient business managers, Barbara taking care of the mimeographing of the A ewsboy. I'he humor of the paper was usually controlled by Maureen Sharpless, with the aid of the chatter boxes. The chatter page was the pep ol the paper although the whole paper was very much alive. Sports were headed by Robert Lorgus anil Robert Baldwin. They kept their fellow classmates well-informed about competitive games with other schools. Rose Terrizzi and lrgima Aspinall were two very valuable members whom we could not have done without. 1 hey were the art editors and so took care of all cartoons to be made and other works of art to be put on the stencils. Aside from the enjoyable meetings, there was a great deal of work connected with the publication. This work was made easy with the aid of the reporters anil Mrs. Penrose anil Miss Girton. Those members not already mentioned were Jean Bevan, Helen Reed, Blair Crisman, Connie Dean, Jane Head, Nancy Ingram, Louise Miles, Herbert Smith, Helen Snyder, and Bruce Worrell. The Newsboy gives the staff valuable training anil forms a friendly bond be- tween the staff and the faculty. Beverly Field, IX ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Almost all of our assembly programs have been very good. The fact that so many junior high students have taken part has made them of interest to all of us. The two interesting programs were the amateur program and the program sponsored by the minstrel club. 1 he amateur program was well-liked by the junior high audience because of the talented junior high students. The minstrel club is always well-liked with many boys taking part. The regular assembly program is conducted in this manner: (1) March played by Junior High orchestra. (2) The bible is read by one of the students. (3) The announcements are read by one of the teachers. (4) Regular program. (5) Junior High orchestra plays the march.

Barbara Lutz, Willard 94 GIRLS’ SPORTS Our junior high girls were certainly fortunate in having such a variety of sports, made possible by Miss Strickland. As soon as school opened in the fall, M iss Strickland was ready with balls and sticks to teach girls how to play hockey. She divided the girls into two groups, the experienced and inexperienced. One competitive game was played, but most of the time was spent in practice. The next sports event which inter- ested us was volleyball which was later revived in the spring. Basketball came next in the routine. This was probably our most popular sport, as over a hundred girls came out tor it; while on the average of seventy took part in the other sports. In the spring many sports were offered including baseball, tennis, paddle tennis, and volleyball. We had tourna- ments in all of these. Sports are essential for all girls be- cause of their character-giving and body- building qualities. Dorothy Knauer, IX THE GIRLS’ SPEAKING CONTEST The winners of this year’s Speaking Contest are: first, Esther Moore, 7th grade, who spoke on “My Favorite Story”; second, Barbara Logan, 9th grade, whose topic was “Making the Best of a Bad Bargain”; third, Hazelyn Myer, 7th grade, who selected the topic, Imagine my Embarassment”; honor- able mention, Cathrine Anderson, 8th grade, who talked on “My Ambition.” This year more people than ever tried out for the Speaking Contest, and competition was keen. It is hoped that next year the boys will have a Speaking Contest also. Constance Dean, VIII a a a The Garnet and White BOYS’ SPORTS Sept.-Nov., 1936. School opened at West Chester Junior High School with sunburned boys and girls eager to get back. The first call for football candi- dates was issued by Coach Ilaupt. A large number of bronzed, husky boys turned out for practice. West Chester won many games and had to win the Phoenixville game for the championship, of Chester County. West Chester won in a thrilling game. Dec. ’56-Feb. ’37. West Chester started to try its luck for the basketball championship. After winning many games West Chester lost to Phoenixville, and a playoff for the title had to be played. West Chester lost in a heart- breaking game. The students turned out in large numbers to help cheer their fellow students to victory. April, 1937. Mr. Myer organized a baseball league for the Junior High stu- dents. There are eight teams in the league. After the season nine players are to be picked for the all-star Junior High baseball team. April, 1937. The Junior High track candidates were put into action. They ran in the Lower Merion Relays and the Downingtown Relays and have accomplished much. Junior High hopes for many other sports in which all students can partici- pate. Roger Ruggeri, VIII -♦ ♦ - REVIEWING THE JUNIOR HIGH PARTY All three grades in the Junior High School enjoyed their annual party on the night of April 23rd. As it was a costume party, many beautiful, gay, and humorous costumes were seen. The pupils enjoyed a program which was introduced by the Master of Cere- monies, Tommy Nichols. The first number was a girls’ chorus who sang The Garnet and White a a a Jly Last Affair and l oo Marvelous Jor Words. A tap specialty was presented by Marge Hippie and Nancy Ingram. A humorous skit was given by Willis Weaver, Harold Green, and Billy Hoopes. Lois Keating and Clifford I lemphill presented a very lovely waltz. All the musical numbers were accomp- anied by Barbara Chambers. The last act of the program was the much— enjoyed faculty skit. The group danced to the music of Charlie Burke and his Orchestra. Prizes were won by I lazelyn Myer whose costume was voted the prettiest, Herby Smith, funniest; and Catherine Anderson, most original. Prizes were also awarded for spot dances. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream, pretzels, and taffies, were served later in the evening. The party ended at 10:50. 1 he refreshment, decoration, program, and publicity committees deserve much cre- dit for making our party a big success. Nancy Ingram, VIII -♦ ♦ - GIRLS’ CHORUS On the first Monday in October, the girls who wished to belong to the chorus went to room fifteen. Mrs. Buchanan received them and told the girls what she had planned for the year. Later the chorus elected Beverly Field as president and Susan Ostram for sec- retary. Phoebe Lewis, Jane Colesworthy and Marjorie Saylor were elected as librarians. Then the girls started practicing songs that (heir instructor wished them to learn. For our Christmas program the girls sang three selections. For assembly, on St. Patrick’s Day they sang one Irish folk song with two other selections. On June 4 the girls gave a cantata in the High School Auditorium for parents and friends. The chorus group enjoyed a very fine year, and the student body enjoyed the programs.

One Who Knows ♦ -♦ CIRCUS DAY This year the Junior High gave an operetta instead of their usual play. When the curtains parted, we found school had been dismissed so that the children might go to the circus. The children all went to the circus and through their efforts brought the school teacher and the village bachelor together. 96 A a The Garnet and White Many side shows, with clowns and acrobats, added to the enjoyment of the operetta.

The Council is a means of bringing the students into closer contact with the faculty so that both may work together for the im- provement of the school. The repre- sentatives from the rooms bring sug- gestions before the council, and the members discuss these questions. If the Council approves of these sugges- tions, they are passed on to the school officials for consideration. The students who belong to the Council have much to gain through membership. They get experience in conducting meetings; they receive valu- able training in leadership; and they learn to shoulder responsibilities. All this trains them for future citizenship. The criticism of the Council, this year, was that some of the students did not report the business transactions to their homerooms, and that others did not take an active part in the discussion. ▲ This year the Council supported the operetta, sponsored the school party, and brought about the awarding of honor roll certificates. The Council supervised a toy mountain at Christmas time, which was made possible by the contributions of the student body. They also sent representatives to attend a Junior High Conference at Lower Merion. Next year, I believe that the Council could be improved if the student body would present more constructive prob- lems to their representatives for the improvement of the school.

For some of you June has meant gradua- tion. As you pause in retrospect, nothing seems particularly unusual. Your at- tainments in so many fields this year are a significant milestone on West Chester s road to glory. But, as you carry on, that year will continue to grow more and more important. West Chester High as an Alma Mater will continue to live for you—more vitally all the time. You will find it not merely a school: it repre- sents your greatest wisdom, your happi- est hours, your dearest friendships; it represents your preparation for the future. But most of all. it represents you! May 1 compliment you on your scholastic attainments, your athletic . ALUMNI . records, your production of A Lucky Break, and your many other successes. Your Garnet and White has been a publication of which to be proud. You have kept your high school’s ranking at the top. With my congratulations comes my most sincere wish for continued success and happiness for you—every one! Sincerely yours, Janice Hunter, '36 Penn State, April 22, 1957. 1 lello, Fellow Students, Here it has been nearly a year since I left the portals of dear old West Chester High. Since that time 1 have had many interesting and exciting experiences. 102 The Garnet and White One of the most exciting was that of going to college. I am a freshman in Home Economics at the Pennsylvania State College. It has been interesting to meet new people, and to make new friends as well as to explore new fields of endeavor in the way of study and occu- pation. Through it all, however, I like to think back sometimes over the grand times I used to have at West Chester High. Of course, I know that I am welcome to come back to visit, but I never feel quite as much at home as formerly. I have kept in touch with many of the activities, however, by OUR Exchange Department has been very large this year, and we wish to acknowledge and thank all the schools that have sent us their publications. We have enjoyed reading and commenting on your ma- terial, and we hope we have profited by your suggestions. We are looking forward to all your publications again next year. Please don’t forget us! There are some poems and jokes that we shall quote in this issue because they have been more outstanding than the majority of them. Hear ye! Marriage is an institution. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore Marriage is an Institution for the blind. —Orange and Black, Jersey Shore. ♦ ♦- Disillusion Thoughts are clouds of sunshine Tinged with gray and gold; AAA reading the Garnet and White and watching for new improvements each time I return home for vacation. I am not quite alone here at Penn State because among the W. C. II. S. grads up here are Verna Sager, George Steele (who is in the Symphony Orches- tra, by the way), John McIntyre, Anna Brinton, Ellis Miller, and Edward Jeffer- is. Though we may never return to W. C. H. S., we still remember and honor her services to us. Sincerely, Lucille J. Kates, ’36 ♦ ♦- Thoughts are fragrant rosebuds— They bloom . . . and then grow old. Thoughts are sentimental. Melancholy, sweet. Like silver fairy bubbles That burst and leave defeat. —El Delator, Cheltenham, Pa. The ruin of most men dates from some idle moment. Youth’s Reveries Walking, Gazing Here and there; Stopping, Looking, Not a care. On and on Through fields of white, Into dusk and into night. Starlight beaming, Walking, Gazing; Youth aglow Thinking, Wondering Where to go. —Orange and Black, Jersey Shore, Pa. (Continue ! on page 104) The Garnet and White a a a 105 STIEmtot SAYING farewell is the most difficult assignment for those of us who are leaving the Garnet and White staff. We have received such whole-hearted co- operation from the student body and the English department that our work has been a genuine pleasure. We have tried our best to please our readers by continuing various popular features, by eliminating the less successful ones; we have attempted to give the best possible quality in our publication this year. We should like to extend our gratitude to our subscribers and our advertisers, who have helped to make possible this year’s volume. We also wish to thank those who have contributed their writings, and to express our most sincere appreciation to the English teachers who have given us their help and advice in aiding us to do our work. With the hope that we have done our part to uphold the standard of the Garnet and White, we depart and make way for a new staff. We leave with them the honor of carrying on our duties.
