Reahzing the futihty of attempting to collect in one small volume all the innumerable scenes, personages, and events which become a part of the Past in one short year here, we must be content merely to symbolize those things which we have deemed worthy of remembrance, so that, at the time when these comparatively irresponsible days shall have faded into Limbo, we may keep this tangible reminder of them.

PRESIDENT CHARLES SEIGEL SWOPE, A.B., M.A. Seven MISS LIDA J. LOW Since the summer of 1922, when the State Summer School for Music Supervisors was established here by Dr. hHoilis Dann, Miss Low has shared on this campus the ripe experiences gained from years of travel and study in this country and abroad. To those students who already possessed a larger share of savoir faire, she became an inspiration to even higher attainments, while to those less gifted, she gave sympathetic understanding and encour- agement. Our gratitude for all that she has given us will last long after her departure. Eight MR. GEORGE S. ROBERTS Because of his lovable personality, his Fine character, his keen wit, and sense of humor, Uncle George has gained a long list of friends and an even greater number of acquaintances in his twenty-two years of service to the college in the capacity of registrar. A native son of Chester County and an ex-student of the normal school, he, as secretary of the Alumni Loan Fund, constituted the main link between the college and its alumni, hlis retirement will be felt keenly by all those who knew him during his long service here. Nine LE NOEUD Early in September, A. D., 1937, four hundred new students, re- cuperating from vacations, made their first appearance on the campus- Receptions by the president and by the Y organizations, with various other entertainments, successfully quelled the majority of their most superficial nostaglic symptoms. Supplementary preventive measures of homesickness included the return of upperclassmen, the familiar torture of tests, and the imposition of regs . The prohibition of the exercising of natural impulses was the most disturbing of the regulations enforced upon the entering students. Not to use make-up or wear pins or emblems, while being forced to wear name cards and ribbons, proved unsatisfactory to the women. Similarly, the wearing of dinks and black ties and the forbidding of rings and letters were offensive to the men. To both sexes the requirements of answering all telephone calls and the restriction of dating seemed a very decided handicap. With an address by Dr. Francis hHarvey Green, combining serious advice and subtle humor, the re-convening of clubs, the scoring of a football victory, the simplicity of Prayer Week, and a stimulating lecture by Dr. Ade, the adjustment of the Class of 1940 was continued. Fresh- man Stunt Night completed the orientation of the timid frosh when new talent was realized within the confines of the campus. F ome Coming Day was a welcome occasion with the reunion of parents and students,- the Radio Pep Rally, the Doris Kenyon recital, and the Will Durant lecture were appreciated by everyone. On Election Day, like erroneous straw vote editors, the students elected London as chief executive. On November fourteenth in their Stardust Fantasy, the all to end all before the Thanksgiving vocation, the juniors attained the zenith of sociability. Ten CHAPEL The Scene Changes With the advent of colder weather, indoor recreation and enter- tainment were in the rule. The Don Cossacks, the basketball games, especially those we won, and the play, ' Counsel lor-at-Law , were eminent features of this p)fKise of college activities. Many intensive rehearsals were important factors in the life of the studenb two weeks before Christinas vcc-: r - r.--ec:ally did those events which are annual customs at West C-e -e- rrceo. to those who participxited in them for the first time — the C ' - : z 3y, the White Sup per, and the unforgettable Candlelight Service. : : -5 a necessary respite from college routine, the students z z - z : : : : ' .■ at a F remium,- the whole college became enthusiastic z : r own soccer team shared the N.

SUMMER Thirteen Climax On March 11 the Olympic Club, in its annual exhibition, presented as guest artists, Chat Phillips and his partner Joe Hewlitt, both of Temple University, who gave ample proof of their proficiency in apparatus work. St. Patrick ' s Day was celebrated in song and dance. In Ah, Wilderness! , the Little Theatre Players displayed their usual histrionic talent, and a farcical version of the fright opera, Julius Caesar immor- talized the dramatic minded members of the Varsity Club on the night before the Dawn Service, the last feature before Easter vacation. To relieve the monotony of ordinary dances, the women of the college turned escorts, even to the extent of paying the bills for the football heroes of our campus. Grace Livingston hHill and the Trialogue by minister, priest, and rabbi, presented new points of view on religion. The Senior recital, the concerts by orchestra, band, and vocal organiza- tions displayed the wealth of musical talent among the students,- and the Intersociety Spelling Bee and Oratorical Contest revealed other abilities, hlowever, the social life of the whole year reached its summit at the most formal affair in the life of a West Chester student -the Senior Week-end at the Cabin in the Pines . May Day, with its aesthetic dances and the coronation of the Queen,- the Sophomore Picnic with its games, refreshments, and general grand social atmosphere,- and the Bible Study Club excursion to Valley Forge were memorable events because of their beauty and enjoyment. Final examinations necessitated the restraining of romantic reveries and the revival of intensive review on the part of the collegiate youth. A repetition of cramming, bull-sessioning, and the two hour brain-racking experiences finally closed the book on the 1936-37 chapter of a college career.

Sixteen SOVEREIGNS Seventeen In world affairs, it is no longer possible for social organizations to be complete in themselves and to be held separate from all other organizations if they are to function properly on the highest level of efficiency. Similarly, administrative activities in the microcosm of West Chester vvould be of little value if they were not coordinated into an inter- active whole. Responsible to the chief executive. President Swope, and through him to the Board of Trustees, each member of the administrative departments carries on a portion of the work of the school, per- forming tasks which may vary from the lowest menial labor to the handling of large sums of money, but which in any case must be accomplished with a maximum of efficiency and pr oductivity. The attainment of desired results often involves a large amount of actual labor, physical and mental, but there are compensations. There is much satis- faction in seeing the college administration run so well that its functioning is almost invisible. The truth of hHomer ' s statement, Light is the task when many share the toil ' , then becomes apparent. ADMINISTRATION 47 47 Ninets During the past few years, an attempt has been made to unify the various phases of our college administration,- but even yet, to the average observer, the construction of its government and the distribution of sovereignty defy analysis, hlowever, v e are able to state certain facts concerning its make-up and organization which will show its composition fairly well. The reins of authority run from the Board of Trustees through the President to the Faculty, Maintenance Department, hHealth Service, Business Administration, and the Dietitian. These lines do not stop here, but go on to the individuals on the staffs of the various divisions. The development of a system of student-faculty committees serving in an advisory capacity directly under the President has proved a very useful innovation, and whereas previously the office of the Dean of Instruction was burdened with the handling of N. Y. A. and student help jobs, now all that is done by the newly inaugurated Personnel Department. Moreover, this whole administrative organization must continue to function smoothly and efficiently in order to keep pace with the greater and more modern West Chester that is in the offing. An editorial in the Quod Angles for April 9, 1937, states, As a result of the recently allotted state appropriation, our college will have the most complete set of buildings among the teachers colleges of the state . . . The renovation and addition to Recitation hiall will correct the lack of classrooms, hygienic rest rooms, and fire escapes. The library will be reconstructed to accom- modate more than 9% of the students, as it does at present. The gym- nasium, antiquated fire alarm system, and the inadequate lighting arrange- ments will be modernized. These include only the major plans in the construction program. The efforts of Governor Earle, Dr. Ade, the Board of Trustees, and the Alumni are not to be underestimated. hHowever, since progress is the result of untiring leadership, the College owes the greatest tribute to its leader. President Swope, who has striven for and is about to obtain a greater West Chester.

CANN, President The average student does not see the ' behind the scenes action —but this necessary work, although it does not receive the applause it deserves, paves the way for obvious achievement. This type of thing occurs not only in theatres, but in the management of hotels, business enterprises, and schools. In our own college, the Board of Trustees carry on the necessary legislation, and determine the rules and regulate all the matters of the college through the president. We see evidence of its excellent administra- tion in our comfortable living quarters, in the type of entertainments we enjoy, and the worth- while instruction we receive. We shall more deeply appreciate the efforts of the Board as we come to a realization of their genuine in- terest in our welfare. Board of Trustees Mr. Merrill B. Cann, President John A.

But the knowledge, the friendships, the inspiration which gave value to those years belong not alone to the inde- structible past but go forward with you into the future. Perhaps the severing of college ties and the assuming of life ' s rssponsibilities saddens you; perhaps you feel it is unfortunate to begin your careers in a disillusioned and chaotic world. If so, ollov me to remind you this very confusion presents a challenging opportunity to offer to our troubled times the balm of love and service. As your guiding principle I recommend the message of the brave and dauntless hielen Keller: Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your home, your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the acci- dents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose worm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty. Cordially yours, CHARLES S. SWOPE, CSS:EHC President Twenty-two PRESIDENT CHARLES SEIGEL SWOPE, A.B., M.A. Twenty-three WINFIELD W. MENNHENNETT, B.S., AM. Dean of Instruction Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Killinger, who in one year as Dean has proved himself to be very efficient in handling a large group of fractious young men. By his willingness to help and his ability to shoulder grave responsibility, he has become ' an invaluable asset to the denizens of Wayne EHall. In both his official capacity as Dean of Instruction, and in his unofficial capacity as friend and counsellor to all who know him, Dean Menhennett has gained for himself that priceless possess- ion, the respect and gratitude of the entire student body. W. GLENN KILLINGER, B.S., A.M. Dean of Men Twenty-four Miss Lola McCullough, in her under- standing of the college girl, has won loyalty and admiration in her first year as Dean of Women at this college, h er well-balanced control of dormitory problems and tactful consideration of the college girl s nature have won sincere support. LOLA B. McCULLOUGH, Ph.B., M.A. Dean of Women By her vital personality, expressed through music and history and in effi- cient counseling. Miss Starkey serves West Chester well as the Assistant Dean of Women. She manages to combine a viewpoint coincident with the college girl ' s angle of life, with the ability to command the respect of a critical group of active young women. ELEANOR E. STARKLY, B.S. Assistant Dean of Women Twenty-five Jui CLARENCE McKELVIE Personnel Director PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT An entirely new administrative office, the Personnel Department, fias functioned very competently regardless of its novelty. Besides superintending the bevy of N.Y.A. , workers and directing the placement of I g those persons who hold student help jobs, T I tfie department has taken upon itself the task of creating a part-time employment bureau to aid needy students by providing them with odd jobs from time to time. Not content to stop there, it attempts to arrange for summer employment for a limited number of applicants. Statistics gathered by this department prove its efficiency by showing, insofar as can be ascertained, that no other college in the United States, with the ex- ception of Yale University, has 3313% of its student body holding paying positions. KITCHEN Approximately two-thirds of the twelve hundred undergraduates at West Chester, like college students everywhere, spend some part of every day complaining about the meals in the dining room. Never once do they stop to marvel at the variety of it, or the efficiency with which it is served. They do not seem to take into account the fact that the dietitian spends over four thousand dollars weekly to feed about the largest group of people who ever ate in the same room at one time. But more than this, she manages an immense staff of student waiters, chefs, dishwashers, and a large group of women who clean and set the tables. A moment ' s thought w the conviction that here is a very important job well done. ROBERTA MACK Dietitian brine Twenty-six MAINTENANCE In order to provide a physical plant worthy of the educational set-up it houses, a staff of trained and efficient manual laborers is an essential requirement. Since the construction of the first buildings more than sixty years ago, many men have been constantly employed to keep them in as excellent condition as possible. The grounds themselves, beautiful as they are, are the result of careful leveling and grading and the constant removal of unsightly refuse. HERBERT CHAMBERS Chief Steward Mr. Chambers and his competent group of workers have the dead leaves that collect beneath the trees and hedges removed,- they have the snow shoveled,- and they have the grass cut in season. Occasionally when the masculine faction becomes obstreperous and breakage results, the force comes into action and makes immediate reparations. Another phase of this service includes janitorial work. hHalls, classrooms, the gymnasiums, and other buildings must be kept clean and sanitary. These functions require earnest labor and efficient use of time and energy. The students and faculty owe a considerable debt of gratitude to the maintenance department for supplying favorable conditions under which to study. Last year saw the completion of the much needed athletic fields, and this year the men ' s and women ' s tennis courts have been reconditioned. The old grandstand on Wayne Field, which has outlived its useful- ness is slowly but surely being demolished. This year marks the end of the transition period in West Chester ' s development,- next year will witness a revolution, not only in the curriculum, but on the campus as well, for the new building program is slated to take effect immediately, and an efficient maintenance department will do much to aid REBECCA DISSINGER Matron in its speedy completion.

The employees use a seemingly innate mathematical dexterity in allocating those funds which accrue from the contingent fees of the students and the other necessary bills to the dining room, the power house, the laundry, the li- brary, and all the depart- ments of the faculty. The payrolls of the N. V. A. workers and all the student help are also handled here and through the department ' s watchfulness, the neglectful student is impressed with the importance of paying what he owes. The successful operation of any social, educational, or business enterprise is depend- ent upon a structure of mathematical figures and the careful fashioning of those figures in as much black ink as possible. Our business office, understanding these principles, harmoniously adjusts the financial necessities to the other phases of the college administration. Mrs. Clayton, Mrs. Draper Emon Postles, Bursar Twenty-eight Miss Glance, Dr. Scattergocd, Miss Reese HEALTH the college nurses, and the competent treatment of the unwelcome ache or pain by Dr. Scattergood dispelled his I M 9 trembling agony. The well- ' ' B M equipped infirmary is o dis- tinct asset to the college, not only in a material way but in efforts to help any student its whose physical condition is somewhat shaky. Many epidemics which would have seriously disrupt- ed the normal routine have been averted by the alertness of the medical staff. The nurses and Dr. Scattergood, who professes a love for bulldogs second only to his affinity for treating ailments, believe that in place of the proverbial apple a day, the presence of a modern infirmary keeps sickness away. Medical Attention hHeretofore, the average student was accustomed to adding the fear of pain to the original instincts of hate, and love,- and with trepidation and reluctance, the newcomer approached the college infirmary. Once inside, however, the friendly assistance of Miss Reese or Miss Glance, Infirmary Tv enty-nine rwi WAYNE HALL Thirty The responsibility and experience derived from the participation in governmental activities makes for more thorough training in life situations and establishes within the individual an appreciation for problems of administration. Realizing this fact, the college administration permits the students to determine what regulations they shall impose upon themselves, how they shall be enforced, and what alterations are to be made. Representatives are elected by the student body to the Student Activities Association, which decides how the budget is to be apportioned among the various phases of activity. This association controls the expenditure of the fees that each student is required to pay at the beginning of each semester for the financing of extracurricular events. It is the group which determines whether athletics is to receive more appropriation than music, whether speakers or entertainments are to be greater or less in number, or whether one club needs more money to carry out its functions than another. Since the privileges of a more democratic rule have been extended to the students by those in control, there has developed a better cooperative spirit between the faculty and student body, and with further application of these principles, the student-faculty relationships will become even smoother. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Tfiirty-ong Alden, Krieble, Mr. Allen, Robinson, Shepherd, Spry Dr. Anderson, Gorman, Beda, Leochey, Bachmon, Miss Lois Clark The College Activities Association, which was estab- lished last year, attempts to provide financial backing f-or any worthwhile student undertaking on the campus. Better programs and a wiser use of money ore the chief benefits derived. It is the Association ' s duty to distribute funds which accrue to it among the organizations under its supervision. The cooperation of the clubs on the campus with the Association is constantly increasing. Before the opening of the college term, Dr. Robert F. Anderson was nominated and elected by the administration to act as director of the Association. The three faculty advisers, Miss Lois Clark, Mr. Allen, and Mr. McKelvie, serve as representatives of the various fields of activities on the campus. They and nine students representing every class and curriculum, elected by the student body, direct this organization. By means of the ten dollar activity fee, which each student pays every semester, the officers of the Association promote all the college ' s intercollegiate athletics and finance the majority of the clubs on the campus. Moreover, the Association has been able to present this year such notable entertainments as the Philadelphia Ballet Company, the Don Cossack Chorus, Doris Kenyon, Nino Martini, Burton hlolmes, and Will Durant.

A. Officers President Ruth Detwiler Secretary . . . Dorothy Wallace Treasurer Ann Bechtel Social welfare is not an individual matter. It is often necessary to provide a means for opening avenues of interest to the lonely, for helping the shy individual to find greater social ease, and for developing a better understanding of one ' s neighbors — the Women ' s Coopera- tive Association devotes its time to aiding girls in their search for complete adjustment. Composed of representatives from the Dormitory Student Council and th e Day Student Council, from whom the members of the Advisory Board are selected, the Associa- tion endeavors to offer the hospitality of the college to students, faculty, and outside guests. Depending on their social programs, the two Councils try to interest girls in participating in student governmental affairs. They try to strengthen friendly relationship and bring the students and faculty in closer harmony through their projects. With such efficient supervision, the women of the college are assured of adequate care, friendly consideration, and many enjoyable events. The executive branch of the Association is the Advisory Board, v hich, through its various committees, provides for the Big and Little Sister Organization, the Open-Forums, and the many after-dinner coffees. Other committees, as the Handbook Committee and the Publicity Committee, strengthen the power of the Association. It has done much to promote a more congenial college atmosphere. Thirty-tfiree Clarke, Nye, Beda, Sharpe Angelo, Remcho, Forbes, Carney Though it may seem somewhat foolhardy to attempt to instigate any type of representative government among such a group of men as frequent the dim corridors of Wayne hHall, such a thing has been done. With some measure of success the Men ' s Dormitory Student Council lays down and enforces few but necessary rules and regulations limiting the actions of its constituents. The eight members of this Council are elected by those whom they govern, and the officers are then chosen from within the group. Problems relating to the disregard of the rights of man as a whole are its major considerations. This year, with the help of Dean Killinger, it has set up and maintained a two-hour study period from eight until ten o clock, when radios are banned, and noise in general is effectively deplored. The primary aim of the Council is to promote the social and scholastic welfare of the men living under its juris- diction, by insuring a congenial atmosphere among the men in the classroom and in their living quarters. Issues involving cooperation, student adjustments, and the control of dormitory Freshmen are settled by the Council in an effort to discover the most effective system for creating higher standards of living.

Offi icers President . . . Leon Schrage Vic e Presi ident. .Frank Beardsley Secretary. . . Ne Ison Harris Treasurer, .Ken neth Shotts Last September the Men ' s Day Student Council entered upon its second year of guiding the day student men. Such duties as caring for the day student quarters, selecting representatives to the student-faculty committees, and sponsoring dances and teas, usually held in cooperation with the Women ' s Day Student Council, ore performed by the members in their desire to stimulate the feeling of comradeship between day and dormitory students. Eight men, representing the three upper classes, mentally wrestle with the problems that day students seem to develop. Dr. John Anderson of the Science department, as the faculty adviser, suggests and approves solutions to these enigmas. With some measure of success the Council achieves its purpose. It imposes on the humble freshmen the necessary regulations, involving a color scheme of green dinks, yellow name cords, and black ties, supposedly for the good of his soul, and inflicts upon the wayward yearling punishments that Satan might well recommend. No ill effects forthcoming, the frosh emerge as swaggering sophomores, who strive, in their turn, for the day-student cause. One notable result of their endeavor this year is the establishment of new day student quarters for the men, where they may relax, escaping from the distraction on the quadrangle and the intellectual atmosphere of the library. Thirty-fi RECITATION HALL Thirty-si)i In their four years oi contact with the faculty on the campus, the students come to the realization that their instructors can be not only the formal monarchs of the classroom but also the informal, friendly human beings that are capable of placing themselves on a par with those who come to draw from their well of wisdom. It is in this latter phase that the prospective teachers become more thoroughly acquainted with their proctors, whether the faculty are busy incul- cating educational theories and philosophies or developing talents in music, art, or physical edu- cation. Even the degrees create no awe when viewed from this standpoint by the students. Through these student-faculty associations many valuable friendships have been developed — friend- ships that are to mean much in later years when one returns to his Alma Mater. FACULTY Thirty-seven Dr. Cressman, Mr. McKelvie Miss ' Burnett, Miss Smith, Miss Connell, Miss Clark During this year the Education Department, c omprising child study, psychology, and educational theory, has been attempting to reorganize its program. In order to vitalize the beginning courses, it advocates new methods and ideas which provide interesting features. Not only is it concerned with the elemental educational courses, but it is considering a way to minimize any repetition and overlapping of the other courses of the department. With the aim in mind of a type of teacher able to synchronize theory with practice, capable of interpreting education in a modern viewpoint, and eager to advance the present standards, it is co- operating with the supervisors to further the development of its ideal. The deportment has accomplished much in the way of establishing a better credentials plan for the placement service. Dr. Cressman having been particularly helpful in this respect. EDUCATION The Education Department has its eye on the future — it is promoting progressive education, using all the means at its disposal. Especially in the rising field of adult education, it is gaining the interest of those who do not consider education from a purely vocational standpoint. Thirty-eight Miss Wilson, Mr. Ricker, Miss Barrer Miss Tyson, Miss Geyer, Miss McCarthy, Miss Cbrk, Mrs. Newman ENGLISH The English Department cannot be overlooked in the list of groups that have mode useful contributions to the college this year. The Speech Clinic, which v as organized under the direction of Miss Tyson last fall, has made itself very helpful to a large number of undergraduates and to pupils of the Demonstration School. Miss Ramsey success- fully produced Love ' s Labour ' s Lost , a Shakespearean play seldom presented on a college campus. It is the intent of this department to guide undergraduates in the development of skills in using our mother tongue and to promote on appreciation of its literature, both ancient and modern. Twenty-five years ago, the English faculty was composed of only four teachers. Today, with the personnel increased to nine, in proportion to the growth of the size of the student body, the department offers a correspondingly greater choice of courses. In spite of changes in teaching staff, curriculum, and student body, the desire to do faithful, scholarly work remains unchanged, and the efforts to aid students in a mastery of even a small part of our great English heritage goes on apace. Thirty-nine Dr. Staley, Miss Geyer French and Latin, long included in the college curriculum, have been developed and broadened during the past seven years until, at present, they include a wealth of content. In addition to the abundant cultural material presented, excellent speciali zed work is done in prepara- tion for teaching foreign language. The courses have increased to twenty-four semester hours of French and eighteen hours of Latin beyond the high school preparation upon which they are built. FRENCH AND LATIN Much of the learning activity in these subjects takes place through the use of the facilities afforded by the library. As a result of the book purchasing plan formulated by Dr. Staley and Miss Geyer, the French and Latin section has grown from a shelf of a very few textbooks into one which now enables students to prepare special projects, to correlate their work with English courses, to investigate modern trends in teaching, and to enrich their literary experiences by reading masterpieces not always included in classroom discussion. Forty Dr. Heim, Dr. Heathcote, Dr. Andes SOCIAL STUDIES The fact that the Social Studies Department at West Chester is exemplary in its practice of modern educational theory is shown by its endeavor to help the student dis- cover the meaning of history by interpreting for him the causes and effects of present day events in the light of the influence of what has gone before. In every course the student is made to feel the sincerity of his instructors in their efforts to make every class have a definite value to one who is soon to take up the privileges and duties of a good citizen. The interrelation of everyday occurrences with past happenings is carefully pointed out, and opinions are freely exchanged on current domestic and world events which are related to the material in hand. Moreover, this department not only provides interesting classes for those who have elected to pursue a course in Social Studies as a major field, but it also sponsors active club work in which baffling social and political problems arising from present day events are thoroughly analyzed and discussed. Forty-one Dr. Anderson, Miss Bull, Miss Holland Since the retirement of Dr. Robert Anderson last year, former head of the Mathematics Department and now Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Miss Bull and Miss hlolland have been carrying on the task of imparting mathematical knowledge to West Chester ' s students. Although the department ' s personnel is small, its effects are widespread. It not only concerns itself with the technical intricacies of analytical geometry, calculus, trigonometry, and other formidable sounding subjects, but also offers instruction to students preparing to teach in the elementary grades by giving courses in the teaching of arithmetic, and to others not majoring m mathematics by offering educational methods. In this way its influence is felt at one time or another by almost the entire student body. Mathematics majors receive excellent background and advanced work in their chosen field; prospective ele- mentary teachers learn the most modern and progressive methods of presenting arithmetical concepts to little child- ren,- and embryo test-makers and test-graders learn the correct use of these necessary instruments for the measure- ment of education. MATH- EMATICS Forty-two Miss Mellein, Miss Farnham, Miss Lamborn, Mr. Sherman ART AND VISUAL EDUCATION The Art Department is occupied with much more than just taking care of that group of students who enter the big studio door with a httle wooden box under the arm. Each year they try to bring to the school some exhibit by a modern artist. This year they exhibited a collection of modern textiles. The Poster Club does its work under the supervision of this department, and a newly established Art Club has been sponsored by it. This lost organization provides an opportunity for those students who are especially inter- ested in drawing, modeling, or painting. At present they have undertaken to paint pictures for the college dining room. In addition to this, one art class decorated the room in the Demonstration School which has been given over to the Speech Clinic. Another very important phase in art education is the course Visual Aids in Education, hiere the student learns the fine points in the art of photography, and the use which can be made of visual aids in the process of edu- cation. Forty-three Mr. Zimmer, Miss Kiess, Miss Herforth, Mr. Jones, Miss Low, Miss Schmidt, Mr. Parry, Miss Morlock, Miss Kreisher, Mr. Middleton Miss Lee, Mr. Hausknecht, Miss Starkey, Mr. Mitchell, Miss Biser Our Music Education faculty personify for us the far- reaching objectives of the department. To the student body as a whole, they bring the leadership and inspiration for the joy in ensemble singing which has earned us the title, The Singing College . MUSIC To the special department of Music Education, in studio, choral groups, orchestra, and band, they bring guidance to further technical accomplishments with an enthusiasm which permeates the entire group. To the studio, their teaching and example bring valuable building for musicianship, preparing students not only for teaching music in the public schools, but also for making beneficial contributions to their communities, by ably presenting well- concentrated, enjoyably rendered musical programs. Broadening the horizon of the entire student body by encouraging and supporting musical events of distinction and artists of national reputation, the members of the Music Department are on aid in bringing outstanding performances for our growth in the appreciation of artistry. Forty-four Dr. Johnson, Dr. McCorkle, Miss Greenwood, Dr. Anderso.n, Mr. Lewis, Miss Broadheod, Miss Elliott The progressive spirit of our Science Department has secured for it a prominent place among the State Teachers Colleges of the East. One of the chief things that the instructors in the department have done this year is to furnish leadership in planning and developing an adequate science program in our fourteen State Teachers Colleges for the training of science teachers of all types, for both the elementary and secondary schools of the Common- wealth. SCIENCE With the newly-adopted curricula by the Board of Presidents, it will now be possible for the first time to prepare adequately the teachers of the various fields for public and private schools. These sciences, by common consent, are usually considered to be biology, physics, and general science. The Geography Department, another in the group of so-called exact sciences, has arranged a field trip for the summer session of 1937, for the specific purpose of study- ing, at first hand, the northern and western portions of our country. Forty-fi Mr. Waters, Miss Schaub, Miss Aldworth, Mr. Killinger Miss Leach, Director Allen, Miss Wade The Health and Physical Education Department extends its benefit to all students. Under the instruction of a small but active staff of teachers, thorough training is given in physical arts and skills,- and although any student may participate, special emphasis is placed, as is to be ex- pected, on the curriculum of health and physical education. Its success can, in part, be measured by the high per- centage of placement of graduates in recent years. The men members of the faculty coach the varsity athletic teams in major and minor sports as well as supervise the intramural contests. With advice and helpful suggestions from the women faculty members, the Women s Athletic Association sponsors tournaments in hockey, tennis, basket- ball, and baseball. This year the department promoted an outstanding campus event in the form of the May Day exercises. Modern dancing was also elevated to a prominent place through the efforts of the faculty, while a conference, arranged for the benefit of athletic teachers of the local service area, was successfully presented. It included gymastic exhibitions, dancing, and motion pictures on sports and first aid; it served as a fitting climax to the year ' s work. HEALTH EDUCATION Forty-six Miss Schaub, Miss Clark, Miss Hobbs, Miss Kreisher, Miss Sipple, Mrs. Stabler, Dr. Daily SUPERVISORS Those who are responsible for preparation of teachers have always recognized the importance of experience in student teaching. The student ' s preliminary learnings in education and subject matter courses leave him with only theoretical knowledge of the problems with which he must deal as a teacher. It is essential that he have actual experience in teaching children. Student Teaching is the laboratory course in which the student acquires this experience by serving a sort of apprenticeship in the public schools. Under guidance, he proceeds from intelligent observation of skilled teachers, through a period of minor participation, to full responsibility for teaching. If professional training is to be effective, it must include experience in the fields in which service is to be rendered. The schools of West Chester and surrounding c ommunities furnish the variety of situations required in all of the ele- mentary grades, the junior and senior high schools, music and physical education, and education in rural schools. Forty-seven A iss Russell, Miss Collicott, Miss Sauer This very definite statement, The true university is a collection of books , appears above the door of the college library. But paradoxically our library seems not to be content with this definition, for it has set out to broaden the conditions under which it may stimulate the learning processes. Art collections are exhibited in the rooms of the second floor, and occasionally the reading rooms are closed for lectures on the use of library facilities in teaching and on obtaining material for units. This year, the Museum Extension Projects of the W. P. A. presented the college with a collection of varied exhibits, which are loaned to any group that can find use for them. LIBRARY STAFF The use of periodicals is also taken advantage of by the student, a practice that is essential for up-to-the- minute information; also, the collections of juvenile books are much in demand by the Demonstration School pupils. The library system is sufficiently well-organized that students may voluntarily spend hours working with sources that are readily accessible as a result of competent classifi- cation. Forty-eight Dr. Daily, Miss Mellein, Miss Talbot, Miss Knapp Miss Smith, Miss Wolfangle, Mrs. Baldwin, Miss Wilson, Miss Meredith DEMONSTRA- TION SCHOOL Our conceptions of what a school should be have been greatly modiFied in recent years. Dissatisfaction with the inadequate results of formal education has led schools to seek more effective means of putting new theories into effect. As a result, all teacher training institutions have felt the need of a school in which recent developments may be interpreted,- it is with these thoughts in mind that the Demonstration School is maintained at West Chester. For the student teacher, the school is the connecting link between his preliminary learning of facts and principles in theory and subject matter courses and his teaching experiences. In the Demonstration School, he sees theories translated into practice. The school also seeks to assist teachers in service to keep in touch with recent trends. So rapid has been the prog- ress in elementary education that everywhere superin- tendents are urging teachers to adopt newer ways of doing things. As an attempt to be of help in this situation, the school offers courses in directed observation on Satur- day during the school term and during the summer session- Forty-nin€ ' This outer world is but the pictured scroll Of worlds within the soul; . . .

Lucretius — De Rerum Natura. One hundred eight SURVIVORS One hundred nine Presenting the junior class — hardened to re- sponsibihty and to the other necessary requisites. You take your education more seriously than the sophomores, realizing, to a greater extent, that in the near future there will be demanded of you those strict requirements of good teachers. At this stage of education, you are beginning to specialize, to concentrate on your primary interests, and to map out a plan of life that will satisfy you. You enjoy the varied activities of your class — the annual Prom , the class picnic, the many entertaining trips to nearby cosmopolitan artistic and scientific centers. In many ways you assist in administering the governmental affairs and other college respon- sibilities. Your elementary efforts at adjustment, friendship, and knowledge have taken deep root, helping to develop in you those characteristics that make for richer personality. Work for success, juniors,- you are well on your way to a career that is always stimulating and alive. JUNIORS One hundred eleven Karl Robinson, Vice President, Fred Turner, Treasurer, William Kohn, President, Mary Lloyd Secretary Having passed through three years of collegiate metamorphosis, the Class of 1938 has emerged a purposeful, progressive group. At the beginning of the current college year, the class found itself confronted with the problem of presenting a Junior Prom. Many former groups have, without casualities, faced and solved the same issue; yet the fact that this group was entirely without the necessary funds rendered the situation more perplexing. hloxA ' ever, with unprecedented optimism, the Prom Committee, under the direction of Joseph Carney, began to rack its collective brain for a suitable theme. A Stardust Fantasy was the result. Nevertheless, proms do not spring full grown from the heads of the committee members. Now and then one must descend from the nebulous areas to attend to such earthly details as obtaining credit from local merchants, procuring the maximum decorative effect with the minimum expenditure, and publicizing the function to help assure its success. Eventually, however, the Juniors ' night of nights arrived. The evening of Novem- ber 14, 1936, found Recreation hiall transformed into a wonderland of astral beauty. Over six hundred merrymakers floated gaily a long the Milky Way to the tantalizing rhythm of J. Earl Baker and his Purple and Gold Criterions. Incidentally, this was the largest crowd ever to attend a Junior Prom on this campus. Because of its unusual success the Junior Class not only received sufficient funds to make the event self-sustain- ing, but it also showed the largest profit for the affair since its inception. Throughout the year the Class of 1938 has played an important port in all fields of campus endeavor. Ten third-year men received varsity insignia for participation on the college football team, while five others were rewarded for regular play on the basketball squad. In addition to this. Student Government, Press Board, Quad Angles, and the student-faculty committees have all received more than their quota of Junior members. Nevertheless, even though the post year has been an eventful one for the Class of 1938, its activities have been carried on with a constant glance toward the future, to- ward next September, when the neophytes of a scant three years ago will at last assume the mantle of senior dignity. One hundred twelve Ad CLASS OF r Miss Smith Mr. Killinger One hundred thirteen THE PRESIDENT ' S MANSION One hundred fourteen Presenting the sophomores — the experienced stu- dents of the college. You, having successfully encountered the bewildering maze of freshman trials and errors, return to a calmly-anticipated year, in which you hope to show the freshman adoles- cents ' that they must lose their painfully-acquired sophistication since it is your firm belief that only sophomores may have the privilege of displaying their savoir-faire. You are to be envied, sophomores,- college life holds for you no complexities and misunderstandings. Although you realize that you can acquire nothing worthwhile without paying for it in some way or another, through diligence, kindness, or coopera- tion, you accept the significance of this knowledge asserting, nevertheless, that the world is your oyster. You have surrounded yourselves with friends among the students and the faculty, and, after the summer ' s recreation, you are happy to return to the pleasant, familiar environment of the college. SOPHS One hundred fifteen Helen Price, Treasurer,- Duffield Clarke, Vice President; Gerard Brennan, President, Ruth Boyd, Secretary The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on, so, last year s freshmen have undergone the hardships of their first collegiate year, having at that time derived much comfort from the fact that sooner or later the survivors would leave behind those troubled waters and pass on into the calmer sea of sophomoric inflation. Upon indulging in a little retrospection, even a casual observer must notice that this year ' s Sophomore Class has been a most sea-worthy group. One finds members of this class participating in all collegiate activities for which they are eligible. In the field of athletic competition the sophomores are well represented. Their intramural basketball team, The Vagabonds , finished the season in a tie for second place. Along the musical line the performances of these second year students have been especially brilliant, for they are equally active in each type of musical organization, be it the Men ' s Glee Club or the Purple and Gold Criterions. The sophomores have also taken part in the programs of both the literary and the dramatic societies and, in several instances, have even assumed responsible positions. In regard to the social aspects of the college career of the Class of 1939, the records show that they have been most successful, for their March dance was popularly acclaimed as a fitting prelude to the Easter vocation. Of course, the annual spring picnic was also the scene of much merriment and frivolity. At this function the Sophs seemed to lay aside their so recently acquired dignity and to take on once more the carefree, light-hearted attitude of freshman days. This reversion was not habitual, however,- for, in general, the sophomores conduct themselves in a manner befitting their elevated rank. Sports, dramatics, dances, and picnics — all these have claimed the attention of the members of the Class of 1939 within the past year. Now, with their pedagogical preparation half completed, the sophomores, pausing for a moment, look back upon their past accomplishments and ahead to the problems yet to be attacked. One hundred sixteen Advisers CLASS OF 1939 Miss Clark Mr. Andes One hundred seventeen WEST CHESTER GOES TO WANAMAKER ' S One hundred eighteen Presenting the (-reshman class — new material for our college to develop and stimulate in its chosen profession. The strangeness of the campus buildings and routine to which you, as newcomers, must adjust yourselves, may bewilder you for a time,- freshman regulations may dampen your eagerness, while you learn to grin and bear it in order to prove to the exacting upperclassmen your good- nature. The library may seem a stern citadel that holds you in bondage as you see the world outside those windows waiting for your enjoyment,- the in- evitability of classes and the regularity of three meals a day may hamper your individualistic nature,- the nightmares of study and passing grades and proving your ability to get along with people may haunt you for a time — but after the first few weeks you begin to feel that these erstwhile problems are challenging factors, indicative of actual college atmosphere, to be met and con- quered. You realize that your specific talents in musical ability, physical skill, and intellectual interests contribute to the college standards and are recognized by the faculty and students; you find an outlet in the extra-curricular activities that appeal to you, and in the winning of friends you form G deep affection for the college. FROSH One hundred nineteen Roy Miller, Vice President, Georgette Newlin, Secretary,- Donald Eastburn, President This year ' s Freshman Class, the largest ever to enter the serpentine walls of West Chester, arrived over four hundred strong on September the eighth with great expecta- tions and high hopes for the future. During the first week of school, teas, receptions, banquets, and dances led them to believe that college was just one grand round of entertainments. Their first impression to the contrary, however, came when they were herded into classrooms where their gracious friends of the receiving line took the wind out of their sails and sent them, somewhat deflated, back to the dormitories. Now, instead of being guests of the college at entertainments in Recreation hHoll, the Frosh were compulsory attendants at less glamorous activities in Recitation hiall. It was about this time, too, that the in- evitable dinks and name cards appeared. With humiliation upon their brows and revolt in their hearts, the Freshmen wore these degrading insignia with the dignity that only a freshman can muster, while the Sophs looked on with unrestrained glee. As a means of orientation. Dean McCullough ' s weekly conferences served their purpose well,- and, although the boys v ere, unfortunately, denied these opportunities for cultural contact, they usually gleaned the essence of the talks through indirect channels. With the presentation of Stunt Night the members of the Class of 1940 made their debut as hosts and hostesses. At this entertainment an especially talented troupe of performers provided an enjoyable evening for all who attended. The freshman year is noted for its vicissitudes, yet even the previous knowledge of this fact has never yet entirely absorbed the shock of the first mid-year examinations. As usual, midnight oil and headache tablets were used profusely,- and fortunately so, for the majority of the Frosh were able to survive this initial testing of their mental capacities. Although their original number has already been diminished and although their hopes and expectations have been slightly modified by reality, the Freshman Class has steadfastly retained its original ideals and hopes to realize them within the next three years.

In a smaller way, our publications on the campus have attempted to illuminate the most worthwhile and unique essentials, and in doing this they have utilized the efforts of all those students who feel the need of feeding their literary hopes. The Serpentine, the Quad Angles, and the Press Board are the outstanding campus publica- tions that serve to introduce noteworthy material to the students and alumni and even to the outside world. In black and white, the struggles of the administration and of the students to build up a praiseworthy tradition at the college are recorded, in anticipation of even greater resolves.

The seething kettle of the year ' s activities has finally simmered down to the most memorable social events, the performances of well-known celebrities on the campus, the brief glimpses of daily college life that touch the heart, the hangouts dear to undergraduates, and the important athletic meets and contests, which, through the efforts of the staff, have been interpreted in accordance with the student ' s viewpoint. A turn of the page reveals familiar views of faculty, friends, and well known campus haunts, hiere, we find a picture of the psychology department,- there, the dean in his office,- and, on still another page, a glimpse of freshmen shamefacedly wearing their identification tags. Familiar class buildings seem to change with their seasonal settings. What college student can give a mere cursory glance at a view of the dormitory with its lighted windows on a black December night or the graceful columns of the library in the spring sunlight? To create this essence of collegiate bread and wine, the Serpentine staff struggled un- tiringly through financial problems, advertising worries, cuts, dividers, proof-reading, copy editing, and other technical complexities, pausing for rest only after the yearbook had been successfully conceived and executed. To the editor goes much credit,- he neglected his recrea- tional opportunities to perfect his ideal, and, if effort betokens success, the result should be a masterpiece. The business manager and his able staff broke all previous records in the matter of getting advertising, scouring town and city to find compassionate business men who would buy a bit of space. Miss Mary Elizabeth Clark, Miss Marion Farnham, and Mr. Clarence McKelvie, the faculty advisers, willingly contributed expert advice and assistance.

Saalbach, Harmstad, Schrage, Alden QUAD This college weekly newspaper, familiar to all campus habitants and many alumni, is proving weekly that it can maintain and, at times, even improve previous innovations. Financed by the Student Activity Association, by local and national advertising, and by subscriptions, the publication furnishes an accurate record of the college year by means of the regular editions augmented by several special issues. Many can faintly recollect the time when Quad Angles was a weak infantile paper of four thin sheets, breathing only the most obvious news. Today, with six pages describ- ing events not only after their occurrence, but even before,- with many pictures, with the popular Collegiate Digest , a rotogravure supplement, and other features, the paper is a truly collegiate, up-to-the-minute, and an essentially educative enterprise. Quod Angles is a member of the Intercollegiate News- paper Association and of the Associated Collegiate Press, organizations offering constructive criticism to all forms of scholastic journalism.

Not even the most lethargic student can resist reading the items concerning social and athletic events which are so attractively presented in the paper. The opinions of faculty members on various topics can be ascertained, and such frothy columns as Over the Dean ' s hdead make the wayward student tremble lest he find some subtle remark informing the school at large of his no longer secret life and love. The column Teacher ' s Tattler socially publicizes the faculty, students, and the alumni, who, if they subscribe, may read, with nostalgic remembrance of their under- graduate years and of the accomplishments of those whom they knew when . Quad Angles is a means of commu- nication for everybody, an indispensable review of college life, and a very efficient source of information about current educational, social, and literary events on the campus. One hundred twenty-nine Hopkins, Lowman, Jacobs Hughes, Graham, Alden, Evans, Eashng, Gilmour, Flaville, Dcubert Harmstod, Kopenhaver, Freeman, Richards, Copeland, Saalbach, Davies, Nissly Soon after assuming the responsibility of W s position as president of the college, Mr. Swope recognized the need of some channel through which news of the school could be d istributed, and he called upon Miss Josephine Wilson of the English Department to take charge of this phase of student journalism. Thus began the Press Board, an or- ganization of about twenty competent writers who are interested in working for literary publication. Contriving, persuading, pleading — each member played his part in accumulating enough equipment and material to carry forward a project which has proved to be of untold value to the college and its friends. For a year this small group of workers has faithfully distributed to various home town newspapers personal items about students and their parti- cipation in college activities, as well as glowing accounts of the events themselves, with the result that the College Press Board has definitely established itself as a worth- while campus institution. The area of circulation is growing rapidly. At present it includes practically every county in the state. Such well known papers as the Evening Bulletin and the Evening Public Ledger have received and published many of the Press Board ' s articles, all of which were, of course, care- fully written and revised before being sent out. Thus, by the continued increase in its press notices, the College Press Board, an outgrowth of the progressive philosophy of our President, has proved its worth and has become a permanent addition to our college. PRESS BOARD Frances Richards Chairman One hundred thirty Embodying the Trinity in a three-fold program of development of body, mind, and spirit, the religious organizations on campus aim to maintain the spiritual attitude and general morale of many who have departed from the surveillance of their parents for the first time. Opportunity for studying the Bible and thereby keeping in contact with God ' s Word and its guiding principles is offered. Further opportunity for continuing connections with the church is presented by a chapter of the national organization of Catholic students. The Christian associations on campus also carry on activities that are in harmony with their aims. Spiritual inspiration and training is offered through the presentation of speakers and group discussions on suitable topics; social service, with its aiding of the needy and its contributions to missions, is an important factor. The third aspect of the program sponsored by these organizations is the provision for physical development. This is satisfactorily supplied by the allowance made for recreational and social events. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS One hundred thirty-one Thomspon, Stiles, Knudsen, Harmstad, Smith, Copeland Dormer, Naylor, Marshall, Miss Lee, Fetterolf, Coolbcugh, Ranck With its purpose of attaining a realization of a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of its Maker, this association, with a membership of more than two hundred young women, has engaged in numerous varied activities for the betterment of body, mind, and spirit. Responsibility for the success of the functions of the organization is centered in four officers and nine other cabinet members who serve as chairmen of hard working committees, who do much to help it maintain the high standing it holds on the campus. Faculty members act as advisers to the cabinet members. World fellowship and social service work conducted by the students help to broaden their views,- the social affairs, the weekly religious meetings, Bible study, and vespers have a similar broadening effect. The Easter Dawn service was notable for its sentimental inspiration, while hikes, novel parties, and Sunday after- noon coffees provided relief from study. The March of Time , an educational and entertaining feature presented monthly in Chapel in conjunction with the y. M. C. A., exemplified the cooperative spirit of the association; but the presentation of outstanding speakers and Prayer Week were equally important contributions to the life of the college. y. W. c.

This latter function is accomplished principally through the provision of a room adequately furnished for recreation- al activities in the basement of Wayne hHali. Reclining in comfortable chairs, the members may read magazines or newspapers or listen to the radio. For variety they may engage in a friendly game of ping-pong or pound out a melody on the piano. At Christmas the room is beautifully decorated for the annual party, when the faculty present the program. This year in conjunction with the y. W. C. A., the y. M. C. A. presented The March of Time for the benefit of the entire student body,- the activities of the association, accomplished by working together, are further exemplified by Prayer Week and by the addresses of outstanding speakers. One hundred thirty-three Monroe, Eddinger, Anderson, White, Cope, Long, Wallace, Frazier, Lobb, Werley, Whitebread, Roy Thompson, Brooks, Forrest, Dean Menhennett, Miller, Lowman, Davit Meeting every Sunday morning at nine o clock in the cozy and restful faculty lounge in tfie fall of the year, but now convening in the equally beautiful Philips Memorial Library, the Bible Study Club fulfils its purpose of be- coming better acquainted with the Scriptures. The group, numbering nearly one hundred, is governed by an executive committee composed of the four elective officers, the music chairman, and two other members appointed by the president, while two faculty members serve as advisers. At each meeting the main feature consists of an unde- nominational discussion under the direction of Dean Men- hennett of a portion of the Bible chosen by the students. During the first half of the year the development of the New Testament was the topic for study, while for the second semester an analysis of the book of Genesis — its authorship, history, and relationship with science — was made. The annual Mother ' s Day open-air services at the fortress at Valley Forge, preceded by early morning breakfast prepared by a committee which included the Dean, provided a never-to-be-forgotten event held under the auspices of the organization.

W. C. A., contribute many hours in working out their program of helping poor families. The club has specified duties to perform each year, and the entire product of each year ' s labor is sent to the Red Cross Social Service Agency and to the Needlework Guild in West Chester. During a semester each member makes two garments, preferably for children, and each supplies her own material. In the past, blankets have been made, but this year, by allowing a free choice in the selection of work to be done, the club has received many lovely things, such as dresses, baby sacks, some blankets, and other undergarments. Each fall the Needlework Guild holds a demonstration in which the work of the club is exhibited, after which the articles are distributed to those who most need them. Selling social service commodities in the dormitories is the only method of raising money to carry on the other activities of the organization, which consist of filling Thanksgiving food baskets, Christmas stockings, and Easter baskets. All of these are turned over to the Social Service Agency for distribution.

Father hHenry Schuyler, pastor of St. Agnes ' Parish, the present chaplain. Reverend Joseph O ' Connor, assistant to Father Schuyler, and the faculty advisers. Speakers of prominence are presented at several of the meetings to discuss varied and timely topics. This year, Reverend O ' Connor discussed the purpose of the Newman Club; Professor Lewis spoke on ' The Position of Science and the Church ,- and Mr. Wordle of Phila- delphia presented his views on Crime and Education . Once each semester, the group sponsors a communion- breakfast, where all receive holy communion in a body at St. Agnes ' Church, and breakfast together later in one of the town ' s restaurants. A Retreat, lasting one week, is given sometime during the year. The regular Thursday evening meetings are held on the campus and are conducted by the students with the assist- ance of the Chaplain and faculty advisers. NEWMAN CLUB Officers President Tom Boyle Vice President Joseph Nederoski Secretary . . . .Philomena Marino Treasurer Louise Pello One hundred thirty-six Formal classwork is but one phase of the edu- cational process,- in fact, if only classroom activities constituted college training, the scope of know- ledge and experience would be exceedingly narrow. To supplement the almost monotonous routine of recitation and lecture, organizations for discussion and further development of related material have been established. Organized on a democratic basis, with students electing their own officers, these clubs, as they have come to be called, help to fulfil an objective of education — citizenship. The responsibility and experience obtained through serving in these capacities are invaluable assets to future leaders. Whether the interest be literary or musical, religious or scientific, whether dramatics, art, history, or travel be of chief concern, there are associations to satisfy those interests. Every student can participate in one or more according to his desires and ambitions. These groups are excellent training ground for student initiative, for development of reliability, and for socialization. Without them the campus would be lacking in vigor; they are essential to the vitality of the college. CLUBS One hundred thirty-seven Glass, Barnett, Steciw, Krauter, Aisup, Richards, Smith, Miss Tyson, Harmstad Pyle The purpose of the Speech Chnic is primarily to correct the speech and voice defects of all children and adults who seek help. This year Miss Tyson established the regular Clinic, which is centered in the Demonstration School in a pleasant environment of bright curtains, plants, painted screens, toys, books and, especially necessary, the efficient clinicians. Throughout the day, Miss Tyson and her own students cooperate in supervising the Clinic. They find great interest in helping the patients who come for treatment, by providing all kinds of exercises, drills and nursery rhymes, that often contain words diffcult for the patient. Finally, general conversation serves as the test of the patients ' achievements. Much has been accomplished. The speech defects that caused so much confusion and inferiority to their victims have been cured by consistent verbal remedial exercises. Partial proof of the Clinic ' s success is a long waiting list of townspeople and others from neighboring vicinities, as well as those on campus, who realize that in this center they will find a cure for their speech difficulties. SPEECH CLINIC One hundred thirty-eight Waldie, Dandridge, Gorman, Steele, Heagy Johnson, Himmelsbach, Morelock, Cook Connell, Aisup POSTER CLUB Officers President Muriel Gorman Secy.-Treos Eleanor Cook Curator John Dandridge When the V. W. C. A. conducts its annual bazaar, or the Little Theatre Players present a play, it is through the artistic efforts of the Poster Club that the world at large becomes conscious of the fact. Weeks ahead of time effective posters appear at strategic places, helping to assure the success of these and many other events. Upon request, this group will moke posters which range all the way from reminders of regular club meetings and orchestra practices to the announcements of such gala affairs a s the Mid-Winter Formal and Senior Weekend. Club members try to make these posters both practical and attractive to observers through a diversity of design and color, and, whenever it is feasible, attempt to illustrate the particular function to be advertised. Aside from its duties as on advertising agency, the club often utilizes the talents of its members in fashioning decorations for dances and stage sets. Indeed, the fame of the club has spread even beyond the limits of the campus, and frequently members ore called upon by outside organizations. This recognition adds to the joy of achievement involved in fashioning successful publicity, for the members of the Poster Club find their work more gratifying because of the numerous social and business contacts which it gives them. One hundred thirty-nine Miss Farnhatn, Smith, Dandridge Hoover, Ullman, Krezanowsky, Linger, Hogelond, Lauer A long training in art is not a requisite for membership in the Art Club. On the contrary the organization offers a splendid opportunity for anyone who is interested in doing something in art for sheer enjoyment and who is willing to attack and carry through a problem. Members may work in any medium they choose, including water- colors, tempera, oils, charcoal, pastel, chalks, cloy, or linoleum blocks. Each one is free to select his own type of work, ranging from landscape painting to abstract design. Miss Farnham, Miss Lamborn, and Miss Mellien of the Art Department assist and supervise the work. During the term from September, 1936 to May, 1937, the club has carried through a unique project, which is ex- pected to add a charming touch to the decoration of the dining room. One canvas, in rich, colorful oils, portrays a medieval banquet scene with lords and ladies and servants in typical dress and with a display of food characteristic of the menu of that period. In contrast to this is a panel depicting the first Thanksgiving, which shows Indians and colonists in their proper garb, with a stellar role played by the evidences of a bill of fare very different from that of feudal society. In addition to this group work, some of the members have presented individual canvases showing originality and fine technique.

Taking its name quite appropriately from the Greek historian, the Father of History , the official history club of the campus was christened the hHerodotus Club. Many of the meetings have been taken up with delibera- tions on such topics as the Spanish Revolution, the Presi- dential election, and the Supreme Court, hlowever, aside from these discussions of history in the making, the semi- monthly meetings have been enlivened by interesting talks by Dr. Pleasants, local physician, historian, and author,- Dr. hHeathcote, club adviser,- Dr. Andes, political science instructor,- and Mr. hieim, also of the Social Studies staff. Following the dictates of modern educators, the club members have nov and then broken loose from the con- fines of the classroom and sallied forth, under the able guidance of Dr. h eathcote, on trips to the historical spots of West Chester and vicinity, never yet neglecting the underground railway station of pre-Civil War days. This year the club presented to the college library several much needed books which were suggested by the Social Studies department and which should prove of great value to the entire student body. One hundred forty-one Dr. Staley, Hartley, Brennan, Gaillard, Summers, Wase, Cutalar, Galey Ortlip, Sadler, Graham, Childs, Collier, Gray Since the direction of extracurricular activities in the junior and senior high school is such a significant part of the modern teacher ' s job, it is felt that one of the purposes of clubs in a teachers college is to give prospective pedagogues an opportunity to gain experience in club guidance. West Chester ' s Cercle Francois has this as one of its basic aims, along with that of providing members with an extra-classroom milieu in which they may exercise their ability to converse in the Gallic tongue. For example, one method of preparation for leadership of a secondary school French Club is to have each member conduct at least one business meeting in the French manner. The club project for the post year has been the making of puppets, and, working cooperatively, the group com- pleted five guignols , which they dressed in the seven- teenth century costumes. In April, the entire French Department were guests at a performance of several scenes from Rostand ' s Cyrano de Bergerac , enacted by puppets, that were given voice and movement by self-effacing club members, and staged in the recently acquired puppet theatre, the property of the organization. French Club has shown laudable progress this year in the accomplishment of its goal, the preparation of future French Club advisers with original, workable, and stimu- lating ideas.

Arrayed in the colorful garments of Chile, her native land. Miss Teresa Peredo — now a student at this college — presented a word picture of the Atacama Desert region, a talk made particularly vivid by the speaker ' s personal contact with the district. Specimens of products grown in New Mexico were exhibited and discussed by Thelma Ullman,- and Mr. hHoward F. Troutman, an attorney of West Chester, gave an illustrated lecture on the hHoly Land. By means of motion pictures, trips were taken through Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite National Parks,- Southwestern United States,- ' Vancouver Island,- Quebec and the Maritime Province,- and the Canadian Rockies, hlowever, not all of our journeys were imaginary. During the past year the group mode several short automobile trips, including a visit to the Brandywine Mushroom Cannery, the inspection of which is always mode more enjoyable if the inspector ' s olfactory organs are slightly impaired. One hundred forty-three Shellenberger, Miller, Lomax, MacNab, Thaete Mr. Allen, Forwood, Downin, Sturzebecker OLYMPIC CLUB Officers President Robert Forwood Vice President. Charles Downin Secy.-Treas. Russell Sturzebecker The First meeting of the Olympic Club for the year 1936- 37 found the membership so diminished by reason of the graduation of several of its former members that it was found to be impossible to carry out its proposed activities; therefore, a meet was held, and the number of members was increased from nine to fourteen. A membership meet is the club ' s method of choosing candidates for admission, and a prospective Olympian must be able to gain first, second, or third place in a contest on any type of apparatus. The aim of the organization is to foster gymnastics and apparatus work on the campus, to afford gymnasts not in the hieaith and Physical Education curriculum a chance to display their talents, and to sponsor and form the nucleus of the gym team. After the necessary augmentation of man power through the annual meet, the club started its activities by pre- senting an exhibition at the hloverford Township School, the participants being Forwood, Downin, Doyle, Sturze- becker, and Tasso. During the basketball season, enter- tainments were presented between halves of the games, such as clowning (in competition with the antics of the spectators) and feats on the apparatus. The annual exhibition was put on in March with the aid of the h ealth Education women. One hundred forty-four Johnson, Brown, Sehl, Miller, Roedder, Nederosl i Phillips, Lester, Roedder, Postles, Fitzcharles, Conway SCIENCE CLUB Officers President David Postles Vice President Walter Nickerson Secretary Robert Roedder Treasurer Walter Melnikoff Prospective teachers seeking an opportunity to keep abreast of the broad field of science, and many who are not majoring in this subject but ore interested in learning more about its latest discoveries and developments find an answer to their needs in the Science Club. It does not specialize in any one phase of science, but aims at supple- menting the course work in the various fields with infor- mation and experience of a more recent or slightly more technical nature. Club programs during the year 1936-37 were presented under a policy of student control and participation, with student specialists giving demonstrations in such diversified subjects as mineralogy, ornithology, textiles, histological technique, ballistics, and fungi culture. Members also delved into the periodical literature published apropos of their particular interests and gave abstracts of their readings. Early in the second semester, a meeting open to the public, featured Mr. J. D. Graham, glass-blower extra- ordinary of the University of Pennsylvania, who dazzled the spectators with a demonstration of his ability to trans- form a harmless little glass tube into anything from a toy duck to an ash troy. West Chester ' s professor emeritus of biology, Samuel C. Schmucker, and Dr. Siefritz of the biology department of the University of Pennsylvania also contributed words of wisdom and interest to the members in their lectures, which are an annual presentation of the club. So, it can be seen that science, a necessary leader in the vanguard of human progress, holds a position on the West Chester campus worthy of its importance. One hundred forty-five Frank, Cutaiar, Gantt, Easling, Gilmour, Calvin, Latham Scudder, Riole, James, Miss Connell, Rosov, Burns, Smith, Graff, McLaughlin The Psychology Club, the purpose of which is to inquire further into the realm of psychical research, has offered three outstanding projects during the past year. Dr. Mabel Kessler, psychiatrist for the public schools and the city of Reading, discussed exhaustively a few specific cases of delinquency, incorrigibility, and retarded mentality with which she has worked during her years of experience in the Reading schools. A trip to the Juvenile hlome in West Chester afforded valuable experience for anyone interested, as prospective teachers necessarily ore, in dealing with child psychology or in doing advanced work in that subject. The third big event on the club calendar was a motion picture, Life Begins , showing the mental and physical development of a child during the first forty weeks of its life. Using this material as a point of departure, and with additional information gained from courses offered at the college, the youthful psychologists spent the intervening meetings in informal discussion of those points which had excited the interest of the members. Though the Psychology Club may not be the most influential organization on the campus, nevertheless, it contributes its bit toward the cultural enrichment of the West Chester student.

' Because participation in this group affords excellent opportunity to obtain experience in acting, directing, constructing scenery, applying make-up, and managing properties, membership has become a coveted honor. An added incentive to attend try-outs, v hich are held once a semester, is the fact that the number of members is limited to fifty. Personal appearance, interpretation, stage presence, voice, and enunciation are the criteria for the selection of the fortunate fifty . Besides holding the regular club meetings at which such features as dramatic readings and make-up demon- strations were presented, the local Thespians, under the direction of Miss Fern Barrer, the club adviser, took part in the Collegiate Dramatic Festival sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, where they artistically pre- sented the one-act play, The Bank Account .

Its meetings are taken up with discussions of definite educational problems, reports of interest to prospective high school teachers, and debates on controversial topics. SECONDARY Some of the more outstanding events of the past year included talks by Mr. Clyde Saylor, superintendent, and Mr. Boyd Jarrett, assistant superintendent of Chester County schools, in which they offered suggestions con- cerning the qualities considered m ost important by school administrators in applicants for teaching positions. At another meeting a panel discussion, composed of faculty members and students, undertook, perhaps too ambitiously, to analyze the failings of the present curriculum. The Secondary Education Club is constantly making plans to open avenues of interest in secondary education for its members. Next year the club hopes to be able to obtain prominent educational speakers, and to take trips to see places and events that help to broaden the cultural background of prospective teachers in the second- ary education field.

The club has been represented at the national convention of the American Country Life Association for the past five years and spends many meetings in informing potential delegates to conferences just what their opinion is on various topics. It also sends delegates to the Pennsylvania Country Life Conference, the first meeting of which was held in Michigan last August, and at which many well- known rural organizations joined in expressing their views. As an additional activity, the Club also published a paper entitled The Rural Janus , which informed those in service of the happenings on the campus and those in college of developments in the rural school. For the past six years. Rural Day has been an annual occurrence at the college. The day usually begins with discussions by club members, alumni, and teachers in service of the newest techniques of rural teaching and reaches its climax in an address by some prominent speaker. Thus, through its extensive program on campus and through its state and national connections, the Rural Club now occupies an enviable position among campus organizations.

They are more influential in the affairs of the dining room than the average person might believe. Any dormitory woman student who cores to devote her time and interest to this type of problem can join the club. As various times the members meet in the lobby to discuss different dining room problems. These women are re- sponsible for the general conduct and behavior of every student who is served in the dining room. Decorations and candlelight have changed the room into a fairly acceptable banquet hall for the many parties sponsored this year. At hiallowe ' en the hall was trans- formed into a den lighted by weird Jack O ' Lanterns,- a more sophisticated tone predominated at the White Supper; St. Valentine ' s Day provided a unique offering, for the party this year was on Sunday — the first of its kind on the campus; St. Patrick ' s Day brought a make-believe Emerald Isle, and the Irish, in their green attire, reigned for a night. Under the leadership of Miss McCullough and Miss Mock, with the assistance of Marie Saalbach, the club has brought a finer, more wholesome spirit to the College Dining Room.

Membership is limited to Primary and Inter- mediate student teachers, their cooperative teachers, and their supervisors. Miss hHobbs and Mrs. Stabler. Forty- eight elementary students eagerly welcomed this club and from this original number, the membership has increased steadily each semester. The club program has been remarkably full this year. It included speakers and entertainers from our own college and from other educational institutions. The principal speaker was Miss Grace Rotzer, director of the Rose Valley School near Media. Dances and teas, a Christmas party, and a banquet held to terminate each group s participation, contributed many pleasant hours in the club ' s schedule of activities. The Elementary Club has a valuable and practical aim, and in its two short years of life it has carried out its purpose with commendable success. One hundred fifty-one Beardsley, Lloyd, Davis, Barbour Fifty-eight years ago, the Aryan Society was incorporated OS on organization for the improvement of hterary and social activity at the college. Its importance has been spasmodic, owing to the changing personnel of the student body, but the last two years have seen a concerted effort on the part of the officers and enthusiastic members to aid the society in assuming its rightful position as a traditional organization of high merit and enviable reputation. To make up for the lack of a provision in the by-laws of the college permitting intercollegiate debate, the Aryans have given the campus a valuable project in the form of on oratorical contest, and, this year, they have successfully introduced an inter-society spelling bee. Immediately after Rush Week, the society held a reception for new recruits, and on the same evening, an innovation was brought forth in the form of a Fashion Show, which proved to be greatly appreciated by style-conscious students. At present, there is a movement on foot to establish a society magazine devoted solely to creative writing, in which members may display their literary talents. The Aryan Society ' s earnest endeavor is to serve the college to the best advantage, in order that its members may be better fitted to serve others.

Moore, the first president of the Board of Trustees, was organized on the campus of West Chester State Normal School. From the moment of its inception this club has taken and continues to take a prominent part in college life. For many years the Moore and Aryan Societies were the only clubs on campus and, in consequence, held sway over all extra curricular intellectual activities — debates, drama, music, reading, and the like. Each year the Moores ' piece de resistance is the anniversary program in which many world celebrities have been brought to West Chester. The Society began a very ambitious program this year by presenting the successful play, Petticoat Fever , which was enthusiastically received. The Rush Program took the form of a musical comedy, h llywood Bound , written and produced by two senior members of the Society, Bertha Neubert and F erman Giersch. With its greatly varied program the Moore Society offers a wealth of opportunity to the interested student and remains a very worthwhile phase of our student life. One hundred fifty-three Robinson, Kohn, Forbes, McCal The Varsity Club, an organization of nearly fifty members, is made up of those men who have won a letter in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, track, or tennis. It meets irregularly in the Y Room of Wayne Hall at ten o ' clock in the evening, at which time current business problems are settled. Its purpose is to cater to that form of masculine vanity which requires a heavy sweater into which has been woven a letter and some stripes as proof of his prowess on the athletic field or on the court. But the fact that the club does more than just provide its members with sweaters is attested by its gifts to the senior cheerleaders this year and the sponsoring of the pep rallies which were held on the eve of the big games. Moreover, it provides for the fall sport fans those indispensable bits of jour- nalism, the football programs, which it sells at every home gome. This year three dances were presented; during the intermission of the social affairs, entertainment directed by students was the feature. Entertainment at the second function included a varied program of dance and song in the form of an Amateur Contest. So nonsensically and yet outstandingly did Sturzebecker and his Don Convicts present their VARSITY CLUB Officers First Semester President Robert Rees Vice President Albert Moore Second Semester President William Kohn Vice President Karl Robinson Secretary Charles Forbes Treasurer Owen McCall One hundred fifty-four w contribution cf a bjrlesqjo on the Don Cossacks that they were awarded fi:st prize. The other numbers were also exceptionally well rendered. At the last dance held the niiht before Easter vacation, some cf the club members produced a hilarious parody on Shokespeare ' s Jjlijs Caesar ' . Although its lines were in themselves sufficiently droll to evoke gales of laughter, the antics of these modern togaed fools were posi ' ively ludicrous. Perhaps the most amazim feature was the novel method of changing the scenery right before the eyes of the eager audience,- no step of the staging was concealed from the enthralled playgoers. Finally, we hold this truth to be self evident, that this club does its best to get and hold that very intangible some- thing known as West Chester ' s School Spirit.

Many times this club is the laboratory for noteworthy musical experiments. Mem- bers not ready to participate as soloists gain experience through the chorus. Others who possess organizing ability are occupied in preparing programs. In addition to the benefit gained from performance, the musicians profit in their capacity of appreciative audience for the contribu- tions of their colleagues. The year 1936-37 has proved unusually brilliant, both in display of extraordinary ability and in willingness of the members to participate. The most outstanding program, presented at the Christmas season, featured carols of other nations and a striking tableau of the manger scene. Another program of special note, remembered as a Student Chapel Project, marked the appearance of Miss hleine- monn ' s sophomore sight-reading class, in which several students capably conducted the other members of the group in their selections. Much credit and approbation for this year ' s success may be attributed to the club ' s advisers, Miss Blair and Miss Herforth, as well as to the other studio teachers for their helpful guidance and willing cooperation. One fiundred fifty-nine On the crest of a wave of rapidly growing musical interests rides the Symphonic Band, a front rank group among the growing musical organizations of the campus. Mr. Powell Middleton, its director, showing the musician- ship of a great conductor, has spent much time in training each person to recognize his own particular part in the whole of the orchestra, making each individual subservient to the group in order to unify the effect which is produced. Throughout the year, he has introduced a number of his own arrangements as well as transcriptions from many of the popular classics, and has interpreted them with the hand of Stokowski, or Stravinsky, or Bach, or Pierne, or Wagner. In addition to playing many engagements off campus, the Symphonic Band has appeared during Chapel exercises for various conventions held at the college. In the Spring Concert, Mary Belle Nissly, assisted by two other instru- mentalists, presented her own flute trio, Three O ' Them ,- William Lamb played a cornet solo, Napoli by Bellstedt,- and John Walter played his own arrangement of a French horn solo, Paris Angelicus by Cesar Franck. This per- formance, during which compositions by Brahms, Wagner, Strauss, Chopin, and Grofe were played, climaxed a very successful year of enjoyable instrumental teamwork. first clarinet — Sargent, J.

This organization comprises approximately sixty musicians, representing many of the various curricula and is almost perfectly instrumentated throughout each section. This year the Symphony has been directed by Mr. Edward Zimmer, Jr., who, in collaboration with Mr. Middleton, has impoved the technique, tone, and musician- ship of the players, and has made the organization out- standing in musical activities on and about the campus. During the year the orchestra fulfilled an engagement at Norristown, Pa. and at the John Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia, where it presented two concerts under the direction of Mr. Zimmer and three guest conductors. But the greatest event of the year occurred when the orchestra accompanied the Catherine Littlefield Ballet with Mr. hienri Elkan conducting. Completing the college year of musical activities, it presented a Spring Concert, including works by Wagner, Svenson, Bach, and contemporary composers,- it accom- panied the choral groups in the Spring Festival.

Baker The Junior Chorus is a compulsory organization of all the women freshman, sophomore, and junior music students of the college, participating in an undergraduate musical training that excellently prepares them for the Vesper Choir, which is composed entirely of senior music students. It has increased so markedly, this year, both in number and in vocal strength, that, under the expert direction of Miss Schmidt, it has been able to devote much time to a capella work, a realization that has been long desired. JUNIOR CHORUS The Christmas Carol Service furnished the opportunity for the first public appearance of the Junior Chorus. One of the smaller vocal ensembles, the development of which is a recent successful innovation, provided musical enter- tainment for the Midwinter Commencement exercises. Numbers ranging from the a capella music of the early twelfth and fifteenth centuries to the more modern and polished works of Bach, Schubert, and Elgar, with the addition of a string and organ accompaniment, displayed the versatility of the musical performers. In the Spring Concert, the Junior Chorus presented several solo num- bers, melodies exquisite in their light tonal quality. The work of the chorus is perfectly achieved, not only because its members are lovers of music, but because they feel great satisfaction in presenting to the other members of the college music that develops their appre- ciation and Fills their need.

Outstanding activities this year included a Vesper Service, the beautiful Christmas Carol Service with Mary Travaglini singing O, hHoly Night, traditional Christmas caroling, and a Lenten Vesper Service with John Walter as soloist. The final event was the joint Spring Festival, during which the combined choruses, glee clubs, and orchestra presented the Gloria in Excelsis from the Twelfth Mass of Mozart,- Thanks Be to God ' , from Elijah by Mendelssohn,- and Scene and Prayer , from Cavaliera Rusticana ' by Mascagni. Uncle Ned ' s humor has brought joy to the rehearsals, and his colorful inter- pretations have been a contributing factor in elevating this outstanding choral group to the position which it now holds. Careful selection of voices, precise drilling of parts, and masterful performance together with the sincere cooperation of the student members have aided in making this unusual organization one of the most outstanding on the campus.

In order to become a member, each applicant must satisfactorily meet the requirements set forth in a test administered by the director of the club. Miss hieinemann, who directs the singing, meets the group one evening each week in the Orchestra and Band Room. Every member of the club faithfully attends all the meetings. This makes it possible for them to give the student body an opportunity to see and hear this excellent group of selected altos and sopranos twice a year. The group lends enrichment to the Christmas Carol Service through its participation. Every one — student or visitor — treasures the memory of beautiful girls dressed in white, carrying lighted candles and singing as they march in solemn reverence in the ceremony. The feature number of the tenth annual Spring Concert was the Echo Song by DiLasso. Special numbers were rendered by a girls ' quartet, an innovation on the campus. Anna Mary Williams and Ruth Clayton also assisted the chorus as soloists.

Manager . hienry Neubert Librarian Thomas Zerbe The Men ' s Glee Club, an organization of forty voices representing all departments of thie college, has been re- organized this year under the leadership of Mr. Arthur E. Jones, a newcomer to the faculty. During this, its infant year, the chorus has attained an enviable position among its musical confreres on the campus. Enthusiastically received since the time of its first appearance at the Warner Theatre in November, the club has carried on an ambitious program throughout the year. The Christmas Carol Service, marking its introduc- tion to the college at large, caused so favorable a reaction on the part of the audience that the organization was invited to participate in the program of the Inservice Area Music Educators ' Conference held at West Chester in March. In the club ' s spring concert appearance, the production of Schubert ' s Omnipotence with Powell Middleton as soloist, accompanied by the College Symphony Orchestra, was a performance to be ranked only with Mr. Middleton s rendition, in the preceding year, of the third act of Die Meistersinger . Through its off campus appearances, the club has been of value in the development of a favorable attitude toward West Chester, and with the continuance of the spirit of its membership, it is quite justifiable to predict a brilliant future.

Composed of nearly fifty men students of the college, not necessarily only music students, but others capable of playing band instruments, this seasonal group fulfills its purpose of enlivening the student body and the other members of the throng that comprise the spectators at the football games. It is also hoped that their spirited playing will inspire the football eleven to even greater accomplishments. Besides taking active part in college activities, this instrumental organization assists at many civic functions upon request. The band members participated in the hlallowe ' en and the Spanish-American War Veterans ' parades as well as in other municipal activities. Only on special occasions when the Girls Trumpet Corps lends its support are there more than the usual number of members in the organization. The girls add considerably to the effectiveness of the group. A bright future is to be anticipated for this organization, for of the twenty-six freshman music students, twenty can be numbered in the ranks. MARCHING BAND Mr. Powell Middleton — Director John Dotti — Drum Major One hundred sixty-six Hochstetter, Moore, Neubert, Baker, Charles, Middleton Kunkle, Naegley, Sargent, Auman, Laubach Very few colleges can boast a dance band like the one which holds forth every Saturday night in Recreation hHall, and on the other hand very few dance bands can boast of such a steady job as can those masters of syncopation and song, the Purple and Gold Criterions. J. Earl Baker, who has been the leader of the orchestra for the past two years, avers that the reason for the smoothness of the music which is emitted by the instruments of the players is due mainly to the fact that the band, as an organization, runs very smoothly, and very little of that prerogative of artisans called temperament is shown at all. But the Criterions are not bound to produce only on our campus, for many times throughout the year they played jobs in nearby high schools, and occasionally at private balls, such as the one at the hlotel Warwick last winter. Those who came to the West Chester edition of the Presi- dent ' s Birthday Ball also had the pleasure of dancing to their rhythmic melodies. Graduation will take only two members of the organiza- tion, J. Earl Baker and John Charles, and next year Bob Auman, who looks forward to a season equally successful as the last, will wield the baton. CRITERIONS J.

One hundred sixty-eight SPORTS One hundred sixty-nine In a state teachers college which specializes in a health education curriculum, it is a foregone conclusion that every possible sport is desired on the program of extracurricular activities. West Chester lacks very few. Although there is a feeling that an intramural program would be more feasible than the extensive participation in intercollegiate competition which exists at present, the fact remains that West Chester does enter very successfully into the intercollegiate field. hHowever, the college, having so recently been raised from the normal school level, has not yet won wide recognition as a serious contender for athletic honors, but its teams are rapidly gaining a reputation for sportsmanlike opposition. Its soccer team this year was listed among the great, and two members of last year s undefeated baseball squad are now headed for the major leagues. Teams, past and present, have struggled, lost, and won on the playing field to build a tradition that future West Chester athletes are expected to uphold.

A renaissance seemed to set in under the fine leadership of Rosen- stengle, our head cheerleader. The zeal at pep meetings, bonfires, and games was spontaneous and sincere. For the first time in many years the majority of the student b dy was behind the team, win or lose. Coach Killinger One hundred seventy-two Captain Rogo Snyder, Gorman, Managers Taronis Remcho Sturzebecker In the initial encounter with Slippery Rock on Wayne Field, the Rams eked out a 13-7 victory. West Chester found that the gridders from the western part of the state brought more opposition than had been anticipated. As a result, it was not until mid- way in the second period that Rogo was able to score after Bob Nye recovered a fumble on the nine yard line. In the waning minutes of the same quarter, our teacher friends ' star halfback, Jack Burby, intercepted a flat pass and raced fifty-five yards to tie the score. During the second half the score remained knotted until late in the last period. With but five seconds of play remaining, Taronis heaved a pass to Clevio Rogo on the six yard line, from where the diminutive captain raced to score his Story Book winning touchdown. Spud Bruno added the extra point as the game ended. Traveling to Reading on the ensuing Saturday, the West Chester gridders took it on the nose 7-6 from a powerful Albright eleven. Playing spectacularly before a Liowd of eight thousand football fans, the Purple and Gold team was first to score. Don Bixler recovered a fumble on the twenty-five yard line after which Remcho faded back and heaved an accurate pass to Captain Rogo for a touchdown. The attempted placement was wide. A steady drive of ninety yards by the Lions during the early minutes of the third period terminated in a six-pointer which tied the game. Coach Munn rushed in Cody, whose perfect placement kick spelled victory for Albright by the slim margin of one point. PATRICK GALLOPS AROUND LEFT END One hundred seventy-three Ul-t- luBklNLi HuMb IHb BACON After this disheartening setback, the Rams came back the following Saturday with an overwhelming victory at the expense of the Preachers from Elon College, to the tune of 25-0. Dick Nye was the first to break the ice by scoring on a fake reverse from the twelve yard line in the second period. The second tally came in the same period when Mush Patrick shot off tackle, reversed his field, and scampered 55 yards for a T. D. hiardly had the cheers died away when Poogie Shello, the sophomore flash, made a leaping catch to take Rogo ' s pass and bring the total to 18 at the half. Late in the third quarter Nye intercepted Shellton ' s pass and zig-zagged 72 yards for his second six-pointer of the day. This run so inspired brother Bob Nye that he added the extra point, making the total 25-0. The aged tradition of losing to P. M. C. was upheld as the Rams fell to defeat by the score of 8-0, before three thousand rain-soaked fans on Wayne Field. After battling a scoreless first half, the Purple and Gold team fell victim to the six year old jinx that gave the Cadets a pair of freak scores. Early in the third period McFadden s slippery punt bounced out of Rogo ' s hands. The ball rolled over the goal line where Schroder fell on it for a Cadet six pointer. The second break came in the same period when Leyer sliced through to block Dick Nye ' s punt. The alert Nye fell on the boll over the goal line for a safety which ended the scoring for the day. On hlome Coming Day, with parents, alumni, and friends in the stands, the Rams battled four scoreless periods with St. Joseph ' s College, neither team being able to penetrate the others defense. As a result the game developed into a beautiful punting duel between Dick Nye and King Cole. The Purple and Gold team brought the spec- tators to their feet in the last minute of the game when they advanced the ball to the four yard line. A bad pass from center on the next play erased all hopes of impressing the folks from home of the school ' s superiority as the game ended. The following week the Rams journeyed to the mountains of central Pennsylvania to be handed a 10-7 surprise defeat by the latent power of a spirited Lock hiaven team. The team spent a restless Friday night in a link of one of Amerca ' s Ultra-Modern FHotel Chains in Williomsport. The first surprise of the following day was FHohnsonis field goal from the welve yard line. This three to nothing advantage was increased to ten when FHopkins intercepted a Ram pass for a six pointer which was supplemented by an extra point from placement. In the last quarter the West Chester team temporarily came to life. During this time an eighty yard drive terminated with Dick Nye galloping 16 yards for our lone touchdown. Brother Bob made West Chester ' s total 7 against Lock FHaven ' s 10. One hundred seventy-four Accompanied by the formidable West Chester band and several hundred students, on November 14 the Purple and Gold lost to LaSalle 19-14 in their new McCarthy Stadium. Before the Rams hod limbered their muscles, Williams, wiry Sallie back, scored two touchdowns in the first seven minutes of ploy. Finally coming out of the trance. West Chester made the score 13-7 late in the second quarter, as Phillips scored on a beautiful pass from Taronis. Pappy Nye ' s toe added the extra point. Early in the third period an illegal block gave the Sallies the ball on West Chester ' s 8 yard line from where they scored their third T. D. Throughout the second half the Purple , and Gold team played sterling ball and displayed their power by increasing the score to fourteen on hiannigan ' s touchdown and Nye ' s placement. After these two successive defeats. West Chester came back to score an over- whelming victory over Washington College, displaying its superiority in every depart- ment of the game. The Purple and Gold unleashed an early drive terminating in a touchdown by Rogo on a reverse from the nine yard line. Bob Nye added the extra point. In the second period Rogo made a spectacular return of Young ' s punt for 70 yards to the five yard mark, from where Sammy Asnes took it over on the following play. A few minutes later Washington scored its lone tally when Young caught West Chester asleep on the time-worn Statue of Liberty play. The visitors failed to convert the extra point. In the third period the Rams score was swelled by 12 points when Patrick scored on a line plunge from the nine yard marker, and Rogo, a few minutes later, raced around end for his second six-pointer. Bob Nye ' s kick was wide. In the final stanza hHannigan scored on a 15 yard pass, and later Stratton went over on a center plunge of ten yards for the final T. D. Patrick made good both tries for the extra point. The final score was 41-6. For the curtain-ringer of the season the Rams traveled to Waynesburg and finished the season in a blaze of glory. Finding the hotel accommodations much more comfort- able than at Williamsport, they brought back a 13-6 victory. Johnny Windish faded back from the eighteen yard line in the second period and tossed a perfect pass to Vince Phillips in the end zone, giving West Chester a six point lead as Bob Nye missed the try for the extra point. By means of a blocked kick in the same quarter, Washo ran 25 yards for Waynesburg ' s lone T. D. Billy McGlumphy booted the extra point. Trail- ing at the end of the first half 7-6, the Purple and Gold team ended with Johnny Windish once again dishing out a beautiful pass to Vince Phillips on the 43 yard line, from where the big end galloped for the winning touchdown. NYE BOOTS A HIGH ONE One hundred seventy-five Fagan Krupnik Parting Shot Captain Clevio Rogo wound up a brilliant career, playing consistently well through- out the season. hHe proved they grow them good as well as husky in the great Anthra- cite section of Pennsylvania. Conscientious John Taronis, playing his fourth year as a regular, turned in his usual dependable performances . hHis passing arm never seemed to get out of whack. Vince Remcho, despite being handicapped by an ancient knee injury, brought the stands to their feet more than once with his spectacular broken field running. Reds Burton, West Chester ' s representative on the sands of Atlantic City as a Life Guard, saw service at end whenever his roommate could get him out of bed. Bill Davis ' speed was a decided asset at end, despite his interest in taking pictures. Stan Krupnik, small in stature but big in fight, was another wingman who saw action. Russ Sturzebecker, right tackle on the All-American Long Name Team, took time from his other campus activities to use his 200 pounds of brawn to good advantage. With Captain-elect Dick Nye and a wealth of returning lettermen, the locals should continue to rise to new heights in the future under Coach Killinger ' s capable leadership.

Davis In its second season as a recognized sport, the West Chester freshmen football team played a three game schedule under the coaching of Bud Allen and Mike hHudicka, former local star guard. Despite the fact that the frosh lost two games and tied one, they displayed a fine brand of ball and excellent sportsmanship. The first game of the season was played at home with the opponents, Pennington School, winning by a 6-0 score. After waging on even battle for three quarters, Pennington scored its winning touchdown on on intercepted pass late in the fourth quarter. Traveling to Philadelphia, the Purple and Gold frosh were handed a 19-0 lacing by a heavier and more powerful University of Pennsylvania freshmen team. The locals threatened to score in the second half when they advanced the ball to Penn ' s 15 yard line but were held there on downs. The wind-up game with Perkiomen Prep found a more polished and experienced local freshmen team playing a 0-0 tie. The Purple and Gold team scored their opponents in first downs and yards gained but failed to cross the broad stripe. By the end of the season, many freshmen had developed into pros- pective varsity material and should prove an asset to next year ' s team.

Only one tie game appeared on the record, and that was with the powerful Lighthouse team of the Pennsylvania League. This was the fifth undefeated team produced by Coach Muddy Waters in the last six campaigns. After a seven-year struggle West Chester was finally admitted to the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association of America, an honor bringing belated athletic recognition to a most deserving team. In the initial encounter of the year the under- graduates acted as hosts to the Alumni booters. Although the Rams acted as perfect gentlemen, at the same time they tucked away a 5 to 1 victory. After downing the Alumni, the teem handed Courtlond Teachers a 3-0 defeat. The Diplomats of Franklin and Marshall were the next victims to fall before the Rams, by the score of 5-0. During the first eight minutes of play the home team stormed the Statesmen ' s fullbacks, with McCall, Bob Rees, and Eddie Bairstow finding the range of the goal. The other two scores come in the last quaiter,- MacNab dented the visitors ' net on a pass from Ramsdell, while Captain Al Moore completed the afternoon ' s scoring with a penalty conversion. West Chester traveled to Collegeville where One hundred seventy-eight they stampeded the Bears of Ursinus to the tune of 9-0, and to continue their unmarred season the Rams staged one of the most exciting gomes of the year with Western Maryland on the local field. McCall drew first blood for the locals in the second quarter on a corner kick. The other West Chester score came later in the same period when McCall center- ed the sphere to Joe Carney, who sent it whizzing in for a 2-0 lead. The start of the second half found the Rams mainly on the defense and the Green Terrors on an offensive drive which culminated in the Marylander ' s only score. Early one morning the aggregation left the gently rolling hills of Chester County and journeyed across the Mason-Dixon line to the lair of Maryland State Teachers at Salisbury to score a 4-1 victory. Still moving at a rapid pace, the Wotersmen met two Philadelphia Clubs, Penn Mutual and Lighthouse Boys Club. The former was taken into camp 6-1, while the highly touted Lighthouse gang was held to a 3-3 tie. From the scenic Poconos of Pennsylvania came a band of hardy mountaineers who were sent home the same day, somewhat softened by the shuffling feet of Coach Water ' s boys. Captain Schlegal, of the opposing team, after dribbling the ball three quarters of the length of the field with the precision of a mountain goat, accounted for East Stroudsburg ' s only score. But Pappy Romsdell and Bill hHickman pushed in a goal apiece to allow the team to continue on an undefeated path. When the final whistle of the game with the Blue hiens at Newark blew, it sounded an undefeated season for the Wotersmen, for Delaware also fell before their onrush. Score 3-1. Hayes, JNTERPRETATIVE DANCING — PENN-MUTUAL GAME One hundred seventy-nine Parting Shot With the concluding game of the season five booters ended their ca- reers. Captain Moore, in addition to playing Lochinvar, was a sensation throughout the season. Bob Rees, the veteran fullback, and Bud hlick- man, stellar halfback, both members of the Dean ' s List, showed they had plenty of gray matter in their feet as well. Jack Rockwell guarded the space between the bars with the efficiency of on expert, and Owen McCall and Paul Beaver more than once thrilled the representatives of the main dormitory with their spec- tacular wing play.

Under the capable coaching of Jack hHowley, former local star, the J.V.s won eight games and lost three. hiaverford, Kennett Square, Lansdowne, Whitbeck, Avon Grove, and hHarrington, Delaware (State champions), were the victims of defe at at the hands of the locals. Willing to share upsets with victories, the hHowley tutored squad dropped close decisions to Girard, Avon Grove, and Westtown. Many players have developed during the season and should be of considerable value to next year ' s varsity as a keen loss has been felt this year owing to graduation.

In carrying out a short schedule, the Rams brought home a team championship and a second place trophy from two of the three meets they attended. In the only dual engagement staged, the West Chester runners were barely nosed out by the University of Pennsylvania by a three point margin. The team title was gained over a select field in the annual h arrisburg Invitation Meet. Competing in the Upper Darby Sesqui-Centennial Marathon, from City hHall, Philadelphia, to the Township Building in Upper Darby, the local harriers returned with a large silver cup symbolic of the second team title. West Chester was handicapped as usual by the lack of suitable competition in this area. The college boasts one of the few inter- collegiate cross country teams in eastern Pennsylvania, and the 1936 team, by its creditable showing this season, more than justified the support extended by the school. The Rams were not given a chance to defend their Middle Atlantic States Intercollegiate title as the championship event was discontinued. Team Record West Chester 21 University of Pennsylvania 18 Team Title at hiarrisburg Invitation Meet Second Place — Upper Darby Sesqui-Centennial Marathon Opdyke, Donahey, Clifton, Metzgar, Hinchey, Wynne, Blitz, Coach Ki Shello, Lott, Phillips, Rogo, Dotti, Beda, McSparron Five returning lettermen consisting of Captain Clevio Rogo, Vince Phillips, Jock Hinchey, Phil Clifton, and Ed. Beda and a host of promising thirty-niners formed a nucleus for Coach Glenn Killinger ' s 1936-37 basketball team. The Purple and Gold appeared headed for a standard court season, but were somewhat sluggish and, lacking a concentrated attack, wound up the season with only eight wins against seven losses. The winter sport was inaugurated by a 47-25 victory over Western Maryland in the first of two pre-Christmas games. The Rams won easily before a full house in the Ehinger Gym. This con- quest was followed by a pilgrimage to the Eastern Shore of Mary- land which resulted in a 47-39 defeat for the potential pedagogues by Washington College. Throughout the fray the Rams fought the officials instead of the boll, and before the final whistle blew, five technical fouls were called on the visitors. Milt Blitz, sophomore sensation with 21 points, was the spearhead of the invaders ' attack. Killinger ' s proteges could not get started in the first game after the holidays, in which they were defeated by Kutztown 34-30. Bock home once more, the Rams rose to unexpected heights when they extended a highly praised Penn A. C. quintet before dropping a 43-37 decision in an extra period game. The contest was packed with thrills from start to finish, and was one of the most colorful spectacles ever staged in the local gym. With the regulation fray ending in a 36-all deadlock, the A. A. U. champ- ions of Eastern United States scored seven points in the extra five minutes while holding the Rams to a single tally. The feature of the evening was the long range shooting and foul tossing of Milt Blitz and Al Bonniwell, ex-Dartmouth ace who scored 13 and 14 points respectively. BASKET- BALL 1936-37 Coach Kihinger One hundred eighty-three Snapping out of a three gome losing streak, the Varsity had the Indian sign on the Alumni in their tra- ditional clash. The week of exams saw Killie take his men to Cadet-town where a revamped lineup scored a 26-24 victory. At the end of the half the Purple and Gold led 13-12. With the Blond Disaster , Ed Beda, displaying some spectacular shooting after the intermission, the Rams forged out to a 18-12 lead. Paced by Spang and Boandl, Red Burke ' s proteges built a 24-23 edge with one minute of play remaining, but Chick Donahey ' s long shot and Jack Dotti ' s foul conversion in the closing seconds brought the boys out on the long end of the score. Despite the fact that a ping-pong exhibition by champions and an introduction to Casey ' s girls were tendered to the Rams after a delicious lunch, they bowed to East Stroudsburg 36-32 in a hard fought overtime contest. With West Chester trailing 32-30 in the final minute of play, Ed Beda tied the score with a beautiful set shot, but the team was unable to match Rubin ' s 4 points in the extra five minutes, and somewhat downcast, departed for home and the good old Saturday night dance. Rebounding from a pair of reverses, the Rams fought their way through a snowstorm to reach Selinsgrove, where they defeated Susquehanna 47-29. The superior- ity of the West Chester team manifested itself throughout the fracas, and the final outcome was never in doubt. The return game with Penn A. C, however, was an entirely different story for it was nothing short of a deluge that hit the Rams on their opponents ' home floor. In DuPont ' s backyard the Rams snatched a 44-29 victory from the University of Delaware. Turning on the pressure in the second half, the West Chester team broke the 16-16 tie and followed the rapid pace set by Rogo, who scored 19 points. Presenting their poorest exhibition of the year, the Rams went through the motions of basketball for forty minutes to be handed a 33-19 lacing by a visiting West- minister team. Poor sportsmanship on the part of West Chester made a very uninteresting game, which was saved only by the smoothness of the visiting quintet. On Washington ' s birthday before a packed house, Red Burke and his regiment again retreated before a 31-21 bombardment by the future teachers. The spectacular playing of acting-captain Ed Beda, possibly due to the presence of Pop Beda, but probably due to the presence of Bea, and the scoring of Ed Wynn and Vince Phillips were outstanding throughout the evening. According to Newton, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which may explain the 28-27 victory over LaSalle. Rising to unexpected heights, the Rams built up a 17-10 lead at the half. The second One hundred eighty-four half saw the boys from OIney cut down the lead slowly but surely, and at the gun in the final period the score stood 26-all. In the extra period Jack Dotti pushed in a beautiful goal on a pass from Blitz to bring home the bacon. Again the reaction — and this time the annual home clash with Kutztown. Result West Chester 34, Kutztown 26. It was strictly a team victory for all five men. Captain Rogo, Vince Phillips, Ed Beda, Jack Dotti, and Phil Clifton played the greatest game of the year. Trailing 16-7 at the half, this determined team took the floor and came off with the eighth victory of the season. Parting Shot With the final shot of this game, three seniors terminated their collegiate careers. Captain Rogo followed the path of fame from the football field to the basketball court in spectacular fashion. Ed Beda played a brand of basketball of highest merit throughout the season, and Jack Dotti developed into a first class pivotman who will never be forgotten for his work in the LoSalle game.

Under capable tutelage of Coach Ralph Ricker the team lost only three games out of a total of sixteen. After the initial contest, Dick Gracey, promising court luminary from Altoona High School, was chosen captain of the neophytes. Riding on the crest of a wave during most of the season, the yearlings entered the trough upon meeting the formidable foes of the local Y. M. C. A., McCann Business School, and Allentown Preparatory School, but for victories over teams of the calibre of Triangle A. C, Perkiomen Preparatory School, and the P. M. C. Junior Varsity, much credit is due. Captain Gracey played spectacularly through- out the season, leading his mates in the total number of points scored with 132. He was very proficiently assisted by Slim Myers as center, Jack Harris and Anthony Stanis as guards, and Johnny Hartz, Bob Brown, and Mike Mols- berger as forwards. These men have developed rapidly and should add considerably to the strength of next year ' s varsity.

Under the fine leadership of Captain George Burton the team came through with wins over St. Joseph ' s College and Temple University. They fell victim to Delaware, Swarthmore, and Villanova. Carl Myers, freshman ace, was a consistent winner in the 50 and 100 yard events where he was ably assisted by Lew Davis, Leverne Shellenberger, Mike Doyle, and Captain Burton. The breaststroke races were well taken care of by Frank hHollick and Bud Lefkowitz, while Eddie Otwell and Frank Grey turned to the distance grinds. Percy Rosenstengle and Jack MacNab performed creditably in the diving and backstroke events, respectively. With only Captain Burton graduating from this year ' s squad, a large group of experienced men are available for next season. The aim of the swimming team is to have swimming become a recognized major sport, and with this wealth of material returning, it is hoped some recognition will be afforded them next year.

Sufficient proof lies in the fact that no less than one hundred twenty men engaged in the sport. The league was com- posed of fourteen teams representing all classes. Beginning the last week in December, the season continued into the second week of March when the playoffs were conducted. Three teams, the Seniors M.D. ' s , the Junior Fish Peddlers , and the Sophomore Vagabonds , qualified for the championship of the league. Captain Russell Sturzebecker and his Senior M.D. ' s took the intramural title only after encountering keen competition from the Vaga- bonds and the Fish Peddlers ' . The efficiency with which the committee functioned and the worthwhileness of the activi- ties they promoted merit high recognition.

But in West Cfiester individual excellence and team excellence ran hand in hand during the 1936 season, when Coach Earle C. Waters produced his second consecutive undefeated track team.

In this smashing victory the localites won every event except the brood jump. On the following Saturday six rival colleges were defeated on the home oval in the third annual Invitation Meet sponsored by the Rams. The schools participating in this meet consisted of Villanova, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania Military College, Osteopathy, Albright, and LaSalle. Of these, Swarthmore provided the most opposition, but were downed by over a dozen points. The following Saturday found the Lions from Albright being the next cinder path team to?fall before our fast club in dual meet competition. After tabulating the scores, the boys from Reading found that they hod fallen short by twenty points. Early Friday morning. May eighth, after a steak dinner at 7:00 A. M. in the dining room, West Chester ' s undefeated track team traveled to Shippensburg and annexed team honors in the ninth annual State Teachers College track and field championships. In carrying off the team title for the eighth time, the Purple and Gold athletes won six first places out of a total of thirteen events. Two record breaking performances were achieved by Millard Robinson and Francis Donnon in the shot-put and the high jump respec- tively. Chick Conard successfully defended his pole vault title, as did Bert Bertolini in the broad jump. The other two first place winners were Jim German in the half mile and Eddie Otwell in the One hundred ninety two mile.

In the initial fray the Purple and Gold team lost to a powerful University of Pennsylvania team, but followed with victories over the Lutheran Theological Seminary and Philadelphia College of Osteo- pathy. After losing to Albright and Villonova, the Rams defeated P. M. C, and in the return match with Villonova, West Chester exchanged the previous verdict for a victory — likewise with St. Joseph ' s.

The initial contest of the year was played with Washington Col- lege. The determined will to win and a fighting spirit carried the boys on to a 6-5 victory. The team took advantage of the scoring opportunities in the opening inn- ings and gave splendid support behind the fine pitching of Lefty Barnes. The team continued its winning ways, and displaying a well- groomed aggregation, turned aside P. M. C. 8-3. Once again Left Barnes was on the mound to dominate the situation. The ' cadets were held scoreless for seven frames before they could push over a score. Penrose Forbes was the leading stickman, collecting three hits in four trips to the plate. In our return game with Washington College, the Rams sprayed baseballs all over the Washington landscape. When the firing ceased, the Purple and Gold team had amassed a total of twenty-three hits, every player registering at least one bingle. The final score Coach Killinger One hundred ninety-three was 20-7 in our favor, Little Man Rogo in big league style hammered out six hits out of six trips to the plate, one of which was a home run. The season reached its height when West Chester defeated Penn State 9-3. Incidentally, Coach Glenn Killinger is a loyal son of State, but he turned the tables on this occasion. It was another Rogo-Barnes day as Barnes twirled his fourth victory of the season and Rogo scintillated at the plate. Aiming for an undefeated sea- son, the Purple and Gold team took P. M. C. into camp by a score of 7-5 for its fifth straight victory. Coach Killinger started Alden Ramsdell on the mound. Pappy pitched excellent ball for five innings, at which time Barnes relieved him, with the score 5-3 in our favor. The Cadets tied the score in the ninth inning which called for an extra session. In the tenth inning. West Chester came through with some timely batting to score two runs which kept the slate clean. Delaware furnished the opposition for the final game of the season. Before a large crowd of returning alumni. Lefty Barnes turned in his best performance of the season in holding the ' Mud hHens to two bingles, while his mates pounded out hits galore to make the final score read 13-1 in our favor.

Naturally she lays no claim to renovvn on the gridiron or the diamond, but she does indulge in many of those less strenuous activities which are designed to provide an opportunity for the better- ment of her physical development. Each day the athletic fields and gymnasiums are scenes of class competition in sports, of practice on the apparatus, and of vigorous calisthenics. Individual recreation in the form of badminton, bowling, ping-pong, roller skating, swimming, dancing, and tennis, is provided, along with this group activity. From this, it is plainly evident that the school, having realized the need for adequate preparation to meet the varied life situations, is attempting to provide those activities from which will be derived a full development of the college girl physically, as well as mentally and socially.

Two hundred three On a certain Wednesday afternoon in September, Miss Schaub steered her over- burdened limousine through the ditch entrance into the Women ' s Athletic field, where she was hailed by an enthusiastic group who were impatiently awaiting the opening game of the Women s Hockey Tournament. After a mad rush for the equipment trans- ported by this unwilling vehicle, the field became the scene of sprightly action. Such zeal is characteristic of the hockey tournament, sponsored each year by the Women ' s Athletic Association. During the fall of 1936 there were two tournaments, one for the academic women and one for the health education women. This division was made so as to eliminate any element of unfair competition between the two groups. Slack, Rushmore, Clarke, Colder, Somers, GroFf, Sturzebecker, Saurman, Kennedy, K. White, D. White ACADEMIC HOCKEY CHAMPIONS The academics organized two teams who called themselves Team I and Team II and who played a series of five games to determine the better of the two. The stick- work and cooperation exhibited were of sufficient excellence to have made any pro- fessional player green with envy. Through the mastery of hockey technique and team- work, Team I, captained by Louise Colder and managed by Audrey Clarke, won three games of the series, while Team II, although it displayed fine spirit and determination won only two. Team I was therefore acclaimed the champion academic hockey team of the college. All during the season they played brilliant hockey,- their attack left little to be desired; and there was small chance of any member of the opposition breaking through their defense without great difficulty. Skill, speed, and excellent sportsmanship pre- vailed throughout the tournament. Two hundred four Grater, Naylor, Pereira, D ' Crazio, Park, Stough, Jackson, Flaville, Longenecker, Biandt, Davis, Ressel HEALTH EDUCATION HOCKEY In opposition to the Academics, the hiealth Education women ' s tournament was a contest between classes, greatest rivalry being shown between the seniors and juniors. Nevertheless, the freshmen and sophomores did not allow themselves to be forgotten in this contest. The sophomores entered two teams, since their class representation was so large, but as the tournament progressed, these underclassmen realized that the championship title was not to be theirs, but was to be the possession of the victors of the Seniors vs. Juniors fray. After a closely contested game, in which the ball alter- nated from one end of the field to the other, the seniors, captained by Marie Park and managed by Tan Davis, succeeded in defeating the juniors and regaining the coveted championship. After Thanksgiving, confident of their prowess, the senior men challenged the women to an exhibition game, hoping to repeat their traditional victory. With umpires Leach and Waters displaying advanced styles in what the well dressed umpire will wear , the men made two attempts to demonstrate their superiority, but were finally forced to accept the tie score as indelible proof of the girls ' dexterity. Seniors vs. Sophomore II 4-0 Freshmen vs. Sophomore I 5-0 Seniors vs. Juniors 3-0 Freshmen vs. Sophomore II 4-1 Seniors vs. Freshmen 7-2 Sophomore I vs. Sophomore II 0-0 Juniors vs. Sophomore I 1-0 Juniors vs. Sophomore II 3-0 Seniors vs. Sophomore I 2-0 Juniors vs. Freshmen 4-1 Champions, Freshman year Two hundred five Nesbit, Somers, Weiler, Krauter, Young, Heater ACADEMIC BASKETBALL CHAMPS The Basket-makers easily swept aside the High-steppers and the Buffalettes, to gain the coveted championship in the Academic basketball tournament, proctored during the winter season of 1936-1937 by the Athletic Association. This was a double Round Robin match in which each team played every other team twice, the champion- ship going to the one winning the greatest number of scheduled games. The superiority of the Basket-makers, captained by Jean Krauter, was evidenced by their ability to go through an undefeated season,- this they were able to do partly through their experiences together in previous years, having won the Academic basket- ball championship title the season before. Membership on the teams was actuated by each player ' s desire to participate, without any class limitation. First Second game hHigh-steppers vs. Basket-makers 18-25 game 14-37 hHlgh-steppers vs. Buffalettes H.S. by default 44-6 Basket-makers vs. Buffalettes 45-1 38-14 hundred six Pollock, Morgan, Leathers, Bogan, Rubincam, Mitchell, Replogle, Hall HEALTH EDUCATION BASKETBALL Once again the persistent rivalry between the Senior and Junior hHealth Education women in athletics was manifested in the round robin tournament sponsored by the Women ' s Athletic Association. The Freshmen and Sophomores also participated in this match, but were soon overpowered by the more experienced upperclassmen. The championship ploy-off between these rivals was extremely exciting. First one team scored, then the other, until the last quarter when the Juniors with great determination under Kitty Bogan ' s leadership forged ohed to victory. Two all-star teams were organized from the combined Academic and hHealth Education factions. These teams, the Purple and the Gold, began a three game series, but the former proved its power by defeating the latter in the first two games by scores of 35 to 24, and 24 to 23. Seniors vs. Freshmen 30 — 15 Juniors vs. Sophomore I 28 — 16 Sophomore II vs. Freshmen 28 — 4 Juniors vs. Freshmen 21 — 11 Sophomore I vs. Freshmen 10 — 4 Juniors vs. Sophomore II 25 — 9 Seniors vs. Sophomore I 15 — 19 Sophomore I vs. Sophomore II 29 — 6 Seniors vs. Juniors 21 — 30 Seniors vs. Sophomore II 34 — 12 Two hundred seven Richter, Flavllle, Carl, Gearhart, Leathers, Davis, Brandt, Longenecker, D ' Orazio Christman, Lupkin, Moatz, Rubright, Pentecost, Wessely, Naylor, Herr, Molish, Spidle Robinson, Schafer, Replogle, Jackson, Stough, Park, Tursky, Ressel VALKYRIE CLUB ij 0. The Valkyrie Club sponsors the modern dance which is directed by Miss Schoub. For this purpose a class of two hours a week throughout the school year is oFfered for all those interested in receiving instruction in terpsichoreon technique and in the com- posing of original dance numbers, one of which, Toil versus the Middle Age , was presented in this year ' s Aryan Rush Show. Social functions enjoyed this year included initiations, supper hikes, and a trip to Philadelphia to see one of the leading exponents of the modern dance, Martha Gra- ham. Through these activities the club provides a medium for the women of the college with like interests to become friends, and also stimulates a feeling of harmony and cooperation where each in- dividual is working for the betterment of the group.
