Housekeeper Fage Marian Masters Spicer, 1884-1921 MARIAN MASTERS SPICER represented the best Westtown tradition, embodying in her quiet person our Quaker ideal of gentleness, sim- plicity, and dignity. Her unobtrusive service was often unknown by those to whom it was rendered, and its worth was too intangible to estimate, but the atmosphere about her was unmistakable, and the loud voice and rough word were stilled in her presence. She graduated from Westtown in 1903. After teaching in two of the Yearly Meeting’s primary schools, she returned in 1911 to teach at West- town. The reading classes, the social activities of the girls, and the training for our various forms of public speaking, were her chief care for the greater part of the next decade, except for two years in the middle of this time, which she spent at Columbia University. After her marriage in 1919 she continued unofficially her work in social ways as well as in coa hing for public speaking. These and many small individual services performed with quiet dignity helped to produce the at- mosphere of friendliness which all who love Westtown wish us to have per- meate our institutional life. With a sure sense of social fitness she initiated enterprises which repeat- edly drew us together in family co-operation. And it is as an integral pait of our big family that we miss her from among us. Page 10 Page 11 1bonorar HUember E.

Class Poem IN the past and distant ages E’er the rise of men and sages, God did give a chosen place Special beauty, charm, and grace. He gave it fine and fertile land, And shaped its form with His own hand, He made it gently sloping hills, Deep and winding vales and rills. He dotted it with lofty trees Whose pointed crown one scarcely sees. Here and there He placed the oak, And poplar, elad in glossy cloak. Thru the glens and shaded bowers Did he scatter dainty flowers, And gave to each a fragrance rare To charm away His children’s care. ’Twas here our fathers did deeree Our dear and cherished school should be Where we one and all might find Good for both the soul and mind. From Westtown portals every year A class has passed with memories dear; And in each student’s heart is fixed The joys of sport and duty mixed. So now the Class of Twenty-two Sees the parting day in view, And grieves to leave the rosy dawns. The lofty trees, and rolling lawns. But each is taking in his heart The truth and light she does impart; So now where e’er we chance to go We’ll be a light with steady glow. We’ll keep in view our highest aim, Build for character, not for fame, And bear aloft the high ideal Wcsttown’s sons and daughters feel. Anna Moffitt, ’22. Pate 13 DONALD GAY BAKER Haverford, Pa. Entered—Fall 1920. Parliamentary (S): I’nion (S): Class Soccer Team (S); Second Soccer Team (S) ; Insignia (S): Characteristic Committee (S). Haverford Characteristic: Cereal Dish “Born but to banquet and drain the bowl.” |T’S NOT a railroad conductor, but merely Baker ex- ercising his lungs on “Philadelphia, Trenton, New York,” with the intervening stations thrown in for special occasions. He is distinguished as the youngest hoy in the class; and he acts the part quite well, es- pecially when creating a disturbance with his water pistol. He lapses at times into study, and again lie is distinguished as the only Greek student in the school. When the “Brown and White” comes out, humorous comments on the few mistakes flow from Baker’s room, quite irritating the editors. But the editors' vocifer- ations arc swamped with a steady stream of glib com- ments, till Baker finds himself conqueror, alone in his critic’s lair. ANNA MAY PENNING 908 Berkley Ave., Trenton, N. J.

University of Pennsylvania Characteristic: Jigger for a victrola. “Her very foot hath music as she comes up the stair.” “Rivers so blue, so blue and bright. As dawn’s pearly hue, as dawn’s sweet light..” rVD you hear that? Know who it was? Why that’s Ben. Ever hear her sing the Blue Danube Waltz? Well! you just ought to, for it certainly is beautiful! It s a case of “Hail, hail the gang’s all here!” when Ben begins to sing, ’cause she surely can draw a crowd. By the way, ever taste any of Anna's fudge? If she starts to make it at a party, she's the “Belle of the Evening” for everyone crowds around her then. But say, ever get Anna sore at you? Well, just look out then—for when Ben gets mad it's almost worse than the Egyptian plagues. But in spite of this latter fact we expect suc- cess for her in the world.

Haverford Characteristic: Pen “On what smell axles big wheels turn,”... Tua- ACK ! Borty starts the day i)nnetually at ().o( with a dive out of bed. A couple of minutes later a handsome youth with that business-like look which accompanies most small men, saunters into the dining room. Borty looks equally unconcerned whether he is conducting First-day collection, giving a class party, managing the business end of the “Brown and White,” or presiding over Parliamentary. He gets fussed only in Geometry classes. Borty runs under the other fel- lows in soccer and kicks the hall through their legs. But don’t ignore him even if he is small, a player didn't see that Borty was there once, and in falling over him acci- dentally broke a collar hone.

Characteristic: Kitten “Hang sorrow! care'll kill a cat.” H I l’SSY wants a corner.” This was the way that 1 • Eileen felt when she came to Westtown two years ago; hut it didn't take her long to find a corner in everyone's heart. Eileen's Huffy hair reminds one of a kitten, and if you rub her the wrong way—especially about polities look out! Although Kilcen may he kit- tenish in many ways, I never knew any kitten that could get on the scholarship list, or play hockey and basket- ball. Did you ever see baleen blush? Well -she surely can. A good sport? Well—I'll say she’s the best ever. Page 15 SARAH WRIGHT BRINTON 123 South High Street, West Chester, Pa. K n to red—Fall 1 !0.

Characteristic: Primrose ' The best goods come in small packages.” “Anybody here seen Kelly? Kelly with the green necktie?” “No! But I’ve seen Surah, Sarah with the little red tic.”’ SAltAlI believes in the saying -“Silence is golden, hut when she speaks we all realize that “The best goods come in small packages” We realize this in more than one way in class affairs, for she can play hockey, and decorate for parties. “Her hair is light and her eyes are blue, and she is Irish thru and thru,” and it always takes the perseverance of the Irish to accom- plish things. Therefore, we expect Sarah to have success as an artist at the School of Industrial Arts, in Philadelphia. VERNON LEE BROWN 1327 Irving Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Filtered—Fall 1919.

C haracteristic: Anchor (To keep him steady) “It is the talent of human nature to run from one extreme to the other.” VT ERNY” puts the pep into about everything that can he called athletics. The soccer hall has a mighty poor chance when Verity’s between it and the goal; the basketball looks at home in “Captain Brown’s” hands; and baseball and track come in for a share of his time. Evidently athletics interest him more than lessons. But stubbornness appears when you try to tell Vcrny that lie’s wasting his time in a little gentle hazing. “You have to get some fun out of life,” and he does; he never appears to he worried. But he’s another of those who are quiet; quietness is a rare asset to school fellows. Page 16 CHARLES ALLEN CLEMENT J24 King's Highway, West Haddonfield, N. J. Entered—Fall 1919.

(I): Pennant Committee (1): 3rd Rank Skating (S): French Circle (S) ; Characteristic Committee (S). Haverford Characteristic: Music to “Smiles.” “The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist sees the hole.”. IT’S a ticklish proposition to conic up against “Smiles; ’ if you accidentally brush against his fifth rib, he be- gins to laugh. In fact, he can laugh even when his neighbors are busy eating his crackers and sardines. In- cidentally, he can nearly always be found by following the odors of sardines or corned-beef to their source. Between “feeds” he haunts the dark-room, where he develops film after film which has been wasted on the people around the school, instead of on our pictur- esque country. “Smiles'” other two hobbies are swim- ming and hiking; he is often clever enough to turn hikes into shike, and get away with it too. RALPH LELAND COPE Kennett Square, Pa. Entered—Fall 1921. Union (S), Class Track Term (S); Radio (S). Characteristic: A spring (To push him forward) “A penny for your thoughts.” Y()Lt have to keep your eyes rather than your ears open for Cope. The fellows used to kid Ralph about samples, varying from fit-medicine to tooth paste, which flooded his mail box at the beginning of the year; but he was ever quiet. When the hard pull came towards the end of the year, it was mighty good to find at least one quiet neighbor in that Senior section. Cope’s hobby is said to be aeronautics—let's hope he doesn’t get too flighty when he leaves Westtown. Page 17 MARION HAMILTON COWPERTHWAITE Haddonfield, N. J. Entered -Fall 1020.

Characteristic: Notebook (For her Committees) “The labor we delight in, physics pain ” DO you know this young Miss? (be sure not to call her “Cow!”) If you don’t you have missed something. Marion is a good sport in sports, fun, and lessons. She is having a hard time to learn to swim, but that just shows she isn’t a fish. Marion is very loyal to her native land. New Jersey, and is always able to defend it by word and deed, mostly word. Marion’s giggle and sly smile are enough to pull any one out of the dumps. So take my advice and make her acquaintance.

Characteristic: Bluebird (For happiness). “As merry as the day is long.” Though “Freddie” is one of the three Seniors with bobbed hair, no one ean deny that she has dig- nity and a distinet presence, whether she is filling the Student Body President’s place, studying Ethics aloud on her back with her eyes shut, regarding the assembled class, casting her eyes upon you with a twinkle from the hall proctor’s chair as you rush by at 9.45, pro- claiming “The Ballad of East and West” from the platform, or appearing suddenly in the Senior Parlor with “Wlier-e r’s my hooks?” “Turn oft’ the radiator, please.” Whose voice was that at your door? It has a persuasive tone that has been known to bring people to Senior Tea in spite of their piled-up lessons, and all their good resolutions to study them, or many a time to bring quiet to a rebellious and disputing room-full of girls.

You should j see her pushing thru her lessons and pushing the hall down the hockey field, it doesn’t make much differ- ence to her, whether the hall goes under, over, or thru people so long as it reaches the goal. “Eddie” pushes people over hard places too, when they get stuck. An- other thing, “Eddie's one of these people you can count on every time, whether it’s Blowing up Basketballs, doing her Best on an entertainment committee, or writ- ing characteristic sketches for the Year Book.

Characteristic: Orations of Patrick Henry. ’His words, like poetry, are measured by the foot.’’ IF you follow up the melodious notes of the “Love Nest” rendered By a jazz orchestra via the phono- graph, you will find “Greeny” ensconced at his table, reeling off Latin translations to the rhythm of the music. But he sure to read over the dictionary be- fore engaging him in conversation; his Latin has al- ready taught him how to substitute two or three ponderous words for short expressions. His words flow sluggishly through your Brain, every third or fourth one leaving behind a hint of some deep meaning to the conversation. “Greeny” already tends to the firm and massive tread of some loquacious lawyer or statesman.

When he is in school. Ally and his allies are inclined to he uproarious, his lo- cation in the dining room is always evident from the hearty laugh inspired by his humor (?). Docs he ever sit still on the Senior porch to enjoy nature? Yes, but it’s always human nature; his train- ing on Natural History seemed to lie in the same direc- tion. Nevertheless, Ally’s business head has been a boon to this Year Book, as well as to the Brown and White. Here’s hoping that Ally's speedy ways won’t bring his career to an early end.

(S). Characteristic: Compass. True as the needle to the pole— Or as the dial to the sun.” BOR,.......Feedle,” or “Prof.” are three of Haines’ nick- names, a lack of which lu will never sec. Each cognomen apparently comes from one of Bob’s hobbies. “Teedle” has been known to chase a beetle for a mile or more. When he captures a pet, he cages it up in a cyanide jar for future study. “Prof.” is a cynic who watches a good base hall game drowsily, and after a home run has been made, comments on the good exer- cise to he obtained from running around the diamond. But in reality this is merely a pose calculated to excite the base ball fans to argument. The rest of the time lie is “Bobbing” up in our groups to settle an argument with conclusive facts.

If you ever get into any difficulty or get homesick, just let Harry know, and she’ll always help you out. That's the kind of a girl she is. .Just notice Harry’s eyes sometimes! When she was about three she said to her Mother, “Katie has such pretty eyes! and we agree with this idea. Harry’s a dandy sport, too, and for entertainment at a party she is willing to masquerade as—well, even a fool, 1 guess- It always takes some peo- ple like that—unselfish folks—to make up the world.

Characteristic: Egg Beater (A good mixer). tfA perfeci woman, nobly planned to comfort, cherish and command.” WHAT is Hnrtzie’s chief characteristic? Well, I think it is her democratic spirit. There's nothing that she couldn’t do with the help of her determination; and there is nobody in the world that she would turn away from if she saw a chance to help. This is the girl who has faced life as it is, and has found something to carry her along. When you see the twinkle in her eyes, you may have no idea what she is thinking about nor what she is planning. She is always rushed with her work. She evidently believes that to he of use in the world is the only way to he happy, and what she does, she does quickly. When you hear, “Well, I’m afraid that-------- you know it is settled without question. Page 21 MERRILL LUCAS HUNT 3H6 J3th St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Filtered—Fall 191J).

At any rate, there are fewer rough houses when he gets into the swing of basket hall and tennis He’s another of those who cultivate the enlivening game of rook at odd moments; and the odd moments are numerous with him. His violin helps keep the fellows in tune on the Alma Mater, and on other rare occa- sions he produces anything requested from jazz to opera selections. DANIEL EUGENE HOUGHTON West town, Pa.

But Dan used the shop to turn out such com- plicated articles as bird houses and mouse traps. In fact, be is so expert that some day when he is design- ing a necktie rack we will hear him whistling, say, “It would bewilder any man but Danny Houghton, any man but me. Dan has gotten interested in astronomy recently and we hear that he examined Cannis Major carefully during Spring Vacation. Dan's morals arc not all they ought to he, for he likes shocking things. He and a couple of other f----Is took a shock from a loaded Leyden jar over in the Physics Lah. The Lev out of the jar must have entered their systems because they said that it was fun.

Yea, I say unto you, all that have ye seen and even more if ye have found the Right Honourable Edward H. Jacob, Jr., for Jake is one of these modish fellows who believe in less dressing. In other words, Jake is always faultlessly and spotlessly adorned with stylish clothes. Jake's athletic talents (?) show to the best advantage in skating, and he is mighty HANK in that. In fact he has passed through all the varying degrees of rankness, and now, with one or two others, he is the rankiest skater in school With that hair of his, Jake couldn’t help being a musician, but he would be a better fiddler if he violinerated more and combed that marvelous hair a little less. But still if he keeps on improving as he has been recently, he will be able to play a scale in harmonic-melodic G. minor by the time he is one hundred years old.

(S), Secretary (S); Comitia (S). Treasurer (S): Treasure Seekers (S): Valedic- torian Committee (S). Characteristic: Megaphone. Virtue is like a rich stone—best plain set. THE rhyme about the farmer’s wife cutting off the tail of the mouse with a carving knife will never hold true in this case, for June is far too quiet a mouse to venture forth very far from her hole. But ii is the quiet mouse which accomplishes the most Whilst she has been loitering in her sequestered nook she has been far from idle. She has even learned to juggle the Eng- lish language and make it come out right every time. She is assuredly cut out to be a lawyer, because if her first trial of a thing does not succeed, she starts all over again. And as we have been assured that following this “'Fry again ’ motto leads to success, we expect to see this mouse come out of her hole sometime and try to follow her namesake, the June-bug, to the moon.

Characteristic: Cash Register. “A favorite has no need of a friend.” NO, Ruth does not have any nickname by which we can call her; hut she has a charm by which we can know her. She seems very quiet until one gets to know her; then look out. “Along came Ruth, and to tell the truth, she look my breath away.” She docs that too, with her eagerness and ability to learn. Although Ruth studies a lot, she docs go in for athletics. Didn’t she hack up the class by playing hockey and basket hall bu- ns? And as for taking care of money why she kept the A. A. money so well that we decided she would la- the one to keep our Class money, and a good job she made of it! ANNA MOFFITT Fiske University, Nashville, Tenn. Entered Fall 1920.

Characteristic: Candle (for Diligence). “Man's fortunes are according to his pains.” IS there anyone in the school who we arc sure al- ways follows the dictates of the best light she has? Yes, there is one- That is Anna Moffitt. We never doubt her sincerity, and if we did, I believe she would go wild of a troubled conscience. Anna can tell tales which is more than most of us can do. She can com- pare Bartlesville with Westtown, or tell about the joys of educating Indians at Tunessassa. There isn’t any sub- ject that she doesn’t have information on, if she chooses to let it out. Anna has an abundance of convolutions on the surface of her cerebrum, I am sure, and she works to make the best of them. “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well,” is Anna's motto, and we know she will carry it through life.

Characteristic: History Book. “She reads by day and night” AS Marian waited till her Senior year to enter this institution, we haven't had a chance to know her very well. She is a quiet, thoughtful girl, always read- ing some article on the war, or digging into some huge volume of history. There may he a method in her mad- ness, however, for we see her standing hack of a desk drilling her energetic pupils in the exploits of Napoleon, or even coaching an historical play. She may even come hack to Westtown and instruct our descendants in that subject. We wish her luck in whatever she does. CHARLES EDWARD RHOADS 123 E. Central Avenue, Moorestown, N. J.

But a pair of shoes, which are anything hut small, come to life, come oft the table, his glasses appear over its top, and he shows himself, either with a notebook or a letter in his hand. The letter, we will ask no questions about; and the notebook contains all the class secrets, so it is not for our eyes either. But when Chas. isn't studying or helping some- body else, the best way to find him is to follow your nose. If you smell food, seek the source of supply and there he will he parking on the table, and talking about either his own, or someone else's girl. But in spite of his letters and his notebook, his hunger and his feet (or maybe it’s because of the latter), he seems to get along well wherever he goes. Page 25 ELIZABETH RHOADS Moorestown, N. J.

She is nearly always studying or doing some committee work for the school. Please don't think, though, that Betty never plays, because she certainly does. She plays basket hall, plays hockey like a whizz, and plays with the Seniors. Not “Pair, fat and forty” hut “Pair, fat and jolly,” describes Betty exactly; for she is fair in looks, fat in avoirdupois and jolly through and through. “Just ask the Seniors—they know!” MARION RHOADS 2500 Dekware Avenue, Wilmington, Del.

Yes, in the human race as in all other athletics, Richie is a staunch advocate of fairness. But counter- balancing; the call of Westward Ho! is the call of all athletics. He does everything, and is good in everything. He plays outside in soccer, but he’s never outside the group who get varsities; he is a gym dandy fellow, and he snaked into first rank by means of the serpentine. From this it sounds as if Richie were perfect, but he is not. When he starts to whistle we believe that Paradise is lost. MARGUERITE SHOEMAKER ROBERTS MorrisvilU, Pa. Entered—Fall 1920.

Characteristic: Box of Grape Nuts (There’s a Reason!) “IPs hard for an empty bag to stand upright.” BEING a dilettante himself, Russell likes words ending in “ante” such as debutante. Naturally his liking is not confined to the word But Russell has a natural aptitude which extends beyond this limited field and makes him an expert in the invigorating game of Rook. In the gentler pastimes such as basket ball and track, Russell has his own position, but he has had to guard it pretty closely, especially in basket ball. Rus- sell has several physical attributes among which is his rosy complexion. That explains why he doesn’t shine in his lessons, for a rosebud need not have a mind- That lets Russell off.

Bill learned a lot of other things when he saw through a glass darkly, hut now lie has become Student Body President, he has put away all childish things. Bill plays soccer in the fall and basket ball in winter, and in the spring he amuses himself, and us too, by playing tennis. Bill lias also had time to become an expert at snitching handkerchiefs. So, if some day you see seven supposedly silk souvenirs taking a young fel- low down the hall, don’t he envious. Just remember that all is not silk that shimmers.

However, Seeds’ muse happens to he a-muse-ment and he generally finds her, too, be- cause he is always laughing at some defunct joke. Per- haps Seeds is a humorist (we have to do the humor- ing generally), hut anyway lie’s a big fish. You'd think he had gills if you watched him swim under water, and you always know that he is guilty when somebody lets off one of those loud laughs that speak the empty mind. Seeds is a mighty useful fellow to have around, and he has a lot of abilities, hut he has one outstanding ability—when lie tries to balance the A. A. books lie can prove that the adding machine is wrong ten times out of nine. FRENCH HUGO SMITH Guilford College, N. C Entered—Fall. 1920. Parliamentary (1): (S). Vice- President (8): Cnion S).

Characteristic: Bee. “So doth the busy bee improve each shining hour.” FRENCH should have lived in the time of the revolution. He is a “minute man” to say the least. He waited until the last minute to make our class, anyhow. He is a very dashing fellow. He lias a dashing way with the girls, at least he dashes off with their silk handkerchiefs. And—we whisper this —perhaps if he hadn’t dashed thru his lessons so fast, it wouldn’t have taken him so long to enter the fold. But the place in which his dashing methods show to the best advantage is the basket hall floor. lie even dashed the holies of his opponents. Altogether French is a very fine fellow, altho we do wish lie was a better barber. Page 29 MARGARET MacVICKER SMITH 21 i South Juliana Street, Bedford, Pa. Entered—Fall 1919.

But never mind, if she isn’t happy, who is? But, alas, one fault is—Spiff will borrow every- thing you have from your shoes up to your hat. “Who’s got a Geometry hook? Iley, you with the face, can I have yours?” S'es, we know Spiff loves her lessons so well that she must have hooks to study from. But where are hers? She doesn’t know. Where are ours? We know! Look in her desk—there they are! She doesn’t borrow her “pep” however, because no one has as much as she—especially in hockey and bas- ket ball. Hip—slam—bang—and Spiff goes down the road of life.

From the Matterhorn of misogynists he has descended to jumping rope while on the Lookout. Tatnall has one cardinal virtue beside his hair; he dees not say much. In fact, he is a still tall man without a star until it comes to skating, and then he is the center of a series of stars. But Tatnall must he a real star in his lessons or he never could have keyed himself up enough to get into the Cum Laude. Tatnall is modest about most things, but he does take pride in one thing—his sarcasm. We don’t blame him very much, for it really is very effective—unless, as is often the case—it’s sheer nonsense.

You don’t mean to say you don’t know “Sweetie?” (), yes, I know her, hut I didn’t know her new nickname. It suits her fine. If you ever want somebody to act as hostess at a party, just ask “Sweetie,” for she will do it up brown. She is getting in practice you see. Or maybe you want a dress made. Well, here we have a dressmaker straight from Paris with all the style one could wish for. “She can cook, she can sew. She can do wonders, I know.” This is Sweetie and we know she will be happy in her life after Westtown. ALBIN YARNALL THORP Media, Pa. Kntered Fall 1921.

Another one of Thorp’s theoretical attributes is his ability to hypnotize people. His only victim so far is Albin Thorp, but he is pa- tiently trying to hypnotize Master Grant into believing that lie (Thorp) has looked at his Geometry lesson. Hut even as every dog has his day, even so Thorp has his good points. Perhaps his strongest point is his artistic ability. For proof of this witness the masterly illus- trations in this book, or the glorious Mona Lisa on his bureau. When looking at this art treasure we whisper, “It’s pretty, but is it art?” (For answer turn “on” around). Page 31 ELSIE PHARABA TOMS Milton, Indiana Entered- -Kail 1918.

Tommy's always done things like that for her class, ever since she came. Besides this, Tommy has a happy-go-lucky, if-I-don’t-get-it- done-today-I’ll-do-it-tomorrow air, which we all know will carry her successfully through life. MARJORIE ECROYD WHIT ACRE Pottstown, Pa.

She'd never seen a hockey game till she came to Westtown and just look how she made our team shine at Germantown. She'd never played much basket hall and just look how she made our score in the Friends’ Select game shine. Two of “Whiskers’ ” main shining points arc brains and freckles; the first is proved by the scholarship list, and the latter, at least, is self-evi- dent! For “pep” at a party “Whiskers” always shines; and we expect her to shine all through life. Page 32 RUSSELL CON WELL WILLIAMS Boston, Mass.

But when we noticed no Mephistophelian tendencies our fears were allayed; and now when we see him docilely tormenting Cope, we wonder how we could have thought such things of our black-headed globe trotter. Williams has seen a large part of the United States already, and some day he may cover the world as his ancestor Sherwin does. Wil- liams is a hard fellow to get along with. Me was too much for (’ope and we notice that Thorp is rather pale around the gills, hut perhaps he can last the year out. On the whole Williams is a pretty decent feilow, but we do wish that he would live up to that first name of his and rustle around a bit. EDWARD SHARPLESS WOOD, JR. Riverton, N. J.

Frances Goodwin, '25 THIS year increasing responsibility has been placed on the Student Gov- ernment, which was due to the co-operation of the students and the faculty with the Student Council. In addition to conducting their study collections in the evening, conducting an honor proctor system in the dor- mitory halls, and supervising and regulating Westtown girls dress, the girls have managed the study periods, which system has proved very satis- factory. The girls in the study collections are put on their honor, but one girl acts as a proctor, merely to give permissions. All serious problems of the girls’ side have been brought before the Student Council, which have usually gone before the Student Body. The Student Council during the year has conducted the collection for many charity funds including tiie Student friendship fund, the- Pine Mountain Settlement Fund, and a fund for the partial education of a Japan- ese girl. Each year the Student Government assumes more power and re- sponsibility. Page 4-5 Boys’ Student Council President of Student Body William F. Sattcrthwait, '22 George P.

Smith, ’22 THE Boys’ Student Council has worked this year chiefly with the Student Government and Self Help. Last year a rough plan was drawn up on which the Council has built the present system. The students have charge of study and meeting collections, and the First Day Evening collections are also under them. Under certain conditions boys are allowed to study in their rooms. Self Help was not started until the middle of the year and then the boys began making their beds and sweeping their rooms. A good spirit in the student body as a whole has made the changes possible. Page JS The Triangle and Delta THE Triangle and Delta were founded ba k in 1914-1915 to lend en- couragement to good scholarship and athletic endeavor, as well as executive ability. The Triangle is the boys’ society and membership in the Delta is re- .‘trieted to the girls. The societies are purely honorary, anyone having sufficient ‘ points’’ and having their scholarship and conduct up to required standards, auto- matical'.y become members. “Points” are obtained through athletic, scho- lastic, or executive ability. Small, gold, triangular-shaped pins, bearing a “W,” are the emblems of the societies. Membership Delta Triangle Helen G. Bell . . . ’24 Hugh Borton ’22 Winifred , I. Edgerton ... ’22 Robert L.

But on paper at the first of the school year our soccer prospects could he ca'led only fair. The season as a whole shows how much can he accomplished by steady practice and conscientious effort on the part of the players. For the season was an unusually good one, the chief fly spoiling the apothecary’s ointment being the victory that went to George School. But we turn from this disagreeable picture to our triumph over Girard, their first defeat in three years. In several games the team played soccer of a very high order. Re- gardless of the scores, which usually favored us, the games were exciting to watch, the hoys showing that they knew the principles and practice of soccer. It was not a team of star players, although a few hoys might be put in that class; hut the average of playing was high, and the team work ad- mirable. It would he hut just to mention especially the shooting of Binns, the outside playing of Richie, and the goal-keeping of Brown. As coach, I want to record the satisfaction I felt in the tact and sense of responsi- bility that Captain Wood showed on all occasions. C. T. B. Line Up G. Vernon Lc :e Brown L.F. Alfred W.

The first was against a strong combination of Old Scholars. Our team had not yet reached its full development and was only able to score one point to their five. The girls put in three weeks of hard team and individual practice, and then met the Germantown Friends on their own field. With “Take the offensive and take it quick” as a motto, the Westtown girls plunged into the game. Our determination and our quick start gave us an advantage which we were able to keep. The team played an unusually good grade of hockey for a high school, and so we succeeded in making a score of 9 0 against Germantown. The season ended with a hard game against Mary Lyon, resisting in a score of 3-0, in our favor. This year’s hockey has been especially suc- cessful, in that we have won both games with outside schools. The team for the season was as follows: — Katharine A. Johnson, Manager. . . R.W. Marjorie E.

We won most of the games by large scores, due to the consistent batting of all the players, and the heavy hitting of a few. Carslake’s batting and catching were particularly noticeable, as he always came across with the goods when necessary. And Rufus Smith, at tlie other end of the battery, was a good pitcher, despite his small sine. In the Williamson game he struck out fifteen players, and gave no bases on balls.

Center r I ' HE Basketball season always runs a competition with Skating and Coasting, and this year has been a particularly good year for the latter. But the devotees of Basketball have played regularly and have been inspired to practice faithfully by the fine example set by their Captain, Marjorie M hitacre. Marj. is a hard worker herself and has kept her team toeing the mark. As a result, the team lost only one game, and that to our old rivals Germantown. There was a great deal of enthusiasm shown in inter-class games, hirst class finally won the championship after a hard game with the Seniors. The annual School-Senior game was won by the School, 21-!). Pape 59 Captain Brown Basketball, 1921-22 IN SPITE of the fact that only four of the nine games played were won, the I 922 basketball season was fairly successful. With two Varsity men, around whom to build a team, trouble was found in filling the other three positions from the inexperienced material that reported for practice. The combination of Carslake and E. Smith, forwards, Henderson, center, Brown and Russell, guards was found to lack the neces- sary punch and scoring ability; so, after three games had been played, Brown was shifted to forward for F. Smith, and Binns was given a chance at guard with gratifying results. In the Haverford and Girard games, Satterthwait was in at center for Henderson, and when the day before Perkiomen was to be played Russell was lost on account of sickness, Henderson was put in at back guard and did yeoman service in helping to bold the strong oppo- nents to a 31-29 victory. In this game the team showed the best form of the season and everyone was pleased, for last year the only defeat for Westtown was given by Perkiomen by a 10-21 score.

Harris Ruth M. Miller Marion Rhoads Rebecca L. Wills Catharine II. Greer LAS I year the girls played their first outside match, with George School. It resulted in a victory for esttown and it left a high standard to be maintained this year. The ranks were very greatly depleted, since members of the victorious Tennis Team graduated last spring, and this year found only one girl in the First Association. The vacancies were filled by the winners of a Tournament played at the beginning of the season. This aroused new enthusiasm and the Second Association girls as well as those in the First Squad have practiced faithfully during the whole term. The cup which Albert Savcry presented to the school two years ago was a source of much competition. In the latter part of May, a Cup Tournament is held, the winner of which has her name en- graved on the cup and is awarded the Varsity “W.” Page 62 Girls’ Gym Meet 'T' HE girls’ gymnasium contest was held on Third month 18th, 1922. All A the classes together performed some rather intricate marching which was a great success. Each gym team outdid itself in the separate marching. Aside from the fact that a few were not quite as steady on their left feet as they might have been, the calisthenics were concluded without mishaps. After tile apparatus work was concluded, the classes “tripped the light fan- tastic toe to the tune of “Yankee Doodle,” “Coinin’ Through the Rye,” and “Pop-Goes the Weasel.” The Judges then announced their decisions, which were as follows: — hirst Class .................................

Sixth place Boys’ Track A four man relay team went into Penn on Fourth Month twenty-ninth, but it was only able to place fifth in a field of nine starters. However, the experience was valuable, as the track team defeated Y illiamson School on hitth Month thirteenth by a score of 47-39. The outstanding performance of the meet came in the quarter mile, when Thorp lowered the record to 54 l o seconds. I'lie annual Intra-School meet was easily won by the Seniors. Again a record was broken. This time Test lowered the time for the half mile to 2 minutes 13 seconds. In the high jump Tatnall came within an eighth of an inch of the record when he cleared 5 feet 4 1 8 inches. Altogether, this has been a successful track season, for the only dual meet was won by a thirteen point margin, and two school records were broken.

Paige SINCE 1896 Union has played an important part in the education and entertainment of the two upper classes. A large number of pupils and several of the faculty have enjoyed the weekly meetings on 6th Day evenings this year. Our programs have varied widely. Such topics as Current Events, social problems, selections from various authors, technical subjects, a debate or two, and two or more illustrated talks have made our meetings vigorous and valuable. Three times during the year the society has been addressed by outside speakers. First by Mary B. Greer, in an illustrated lecture on “Labrador,” secondly, bv Dr. William W. Comfort, of Haverford College, on “Dante.” thirdly, by D. Robert Yarnall on “Tumping on the Timagami with the Ojib- way.” The Natural History Committee also presented a striking original play, part of which gave an historical sketch of that Committee.

Varian AT THE opening of the fall term the time of holding Rustic meetings was changed from 5.15 P.M. to 6.45 P.M. This change in time has made it more convenient for the members and also for outside speakers who have addressed the society. Many of the programs have been taken up with the talks of men of large experience in Agricultural fields. In one meeting was given the details and essentials in raising hot house lambs. At other times model pig pens, chicken houses, etc., were adequately discussed. Although attendance at these meetings was not always so large as it might have been. Rustic has had a fairly successful year. Page 69 Comitia FALL TERM Chairman Clerk ... Treasurer Factotem SPRING TERM Chairman .......................... Marion II. Cowperthwaite Clerk ................................ Marguerite S. Roberts Treasurer ................................ Sarah W. Brinton Factotem ................................. M. Eileen Brinton COMITIA, a comparatively new society at Westtown, was started last year. During this year membership as well as interest in the society has increased. The meetings have been varied. Janet Payne hitney has given talks on Current Events and both Samuel H. Brown and Gertrude Rhoads have conducted Par'iamentary drills. While the Disarmament Conference was going on at W ashington, a mock Conference was in session in Comitia. Five nations were represented, and each week a member from each of the five groups rported what her nation was doing. In this way the action of the real Conference was closely followed. In addition to this, the society has been interested in Court procedure and jury trials, especially in Juvenile Court. The open meeting in the Spring was a representation in three scenes of some cases which have come before Juvenile Court. The first two scenes were based on actual occur- rences and led up to the third scene which was a mock trial in a criminal court with jury and witnesses. Deborah Warrington was a great help to the society in preparing for this, by telling of some of her experiences as Pro- bation Officer in the Chester County Juvenile Court. This is only a brief outline of the meetings. It is hoped that the society will grow in value as it grows older. OFFICERS ................... Mary E. Evans ................... Ruth M.

Richie THE Westtown Parliamentary Society was founded about ten years ago by an enthusiastic group of boys in the two upper classes, who were in- terested in debating and parliamentary law. The society is patterned after the United States Senate, and all ques- tions of parliamentary law are settled by its constitution, or Robert’s Rules of Order. To make the society more real, each member assumed the name of the United States Senator from the state which be represented, and the member is known by that name in all the meetings of the society. Any senator, as the roll is called, may introduce a bill which concerns the welfare of his state or of the United States. He then sponsors the bill, and it is discussed by any of the members present. The discussion of these bills, often times, is the most interesting part of the meetings, and cultivates the minds of the members to alertness and quick thinking. Home Economics Society President ............................. Dorothy Hunt Treasurer and Secretary ...............June Levering Vice-President...............Marion H. Cowperthwaite IT IS the object of the Home Economics Society to promote an interest in the Arts and Sciences related to the home, and to acquaint its members with the problems of the household. However, due to the absence of Teacher Lauretta James, our faculty member and business committee chair- man, the activities of the Society were dropped for the fall and winter terms. We had, however, one interesting and instructive lecture by Dr. Mc- Cullum of Johns Hopkins University, on the “Newer Knowledge of Nutri- tion.'’ The society was re-organized in the spring term for the benefit of next year’s members. Page 75 French Club Secretary M. Eileen Brinton President Robert H. Richie Curator Marian 13. Rustedt HE French Club was formed in order to give pupils who were taking -1- second and third year French an opportunity to learn to speak more fluently. The business of the meetings was transacted entirely in French, and practically all the programs were in French also. Meetings were held once a month and after the business had been concluded, the remainder of the time was given over to the recitation of French poems, the playing of French games, and the reading of articles published in French magazines. As this year was the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the death of Moliere, special attention was given to his life and plays. Scenes from “Le Malade Imaginaire” and “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” were acted out. At an open meeting, I)r. Comfort gave a talk, mainly m French, in which he outlined Moliere’s life and works and described his status as a dramatist. VER since the smaller hoys have been living in the Stone House they have wanted a literary society. One was started a couple of years ago which soon burned out. This year, however, the Ataraxa Club was re-or- ganized under the supervision of the two curators. The programs vary from week to week, as arranged by a business com- mittee. One week there are literary programs, made up entirely from mem- bers of the Society. Then, on alternate weeks, the program consists entirely of games, so that the interest of the fellows will he kept up. The Ataraxa Club Officers Secretary Robert Hopkins President Arthur W.

The purpose of the society is to train the boys of Second and Third Classes so they may take an active part in Un- ion. It not only gets the boys familiar with the things that are going on around them, but also serves to teach them how to speak in public, which is often found so hard by an unpractised person. The programs this year have been very interesting. Talks on per- sonal experiences and every day problems and occurrences, also impromptu speeches, debates, and an interesting illustrated lecture on the White Moun- tains by Master George Houghton, held the attention of the society. Our pleasure could not be suppressed when Master Albert arrived with his talk- ing doll, “Polokus!” The Brightonians wish to extend their heartiest thanks to Master Albert L. Baily to whom they owe the success of the year. I’uyc 79 Athenian Literary Society President Officers Fall Term Vice-President Secretary Mary F. Way Edith Satterthwaite Helen G.

Faircloth Sarah Pennell The fail and winter terms of the year 1922, were most enjoyable and interesting to all the members of the Athenian Literary Society. We have been benefited by the bits of literature and humor the Society has imparted to us. At sometime during the year each member has taken part in debates, readings, recitations, tableaux or impromptus. Much was added to the programs when a series of short plays were given by the differ- ent groups in the Society. At different times also a member of the Faculty lias entertained us. An information test was issued this year and the members have had their knowledge displayed. The play which was written by a few of the talented members of the Society with the help of our honorary member, given near the close of the year was most successful. The money which would have paid for our annual “feed” has been donated to the Russian Relief Fund. We arc greatly indebted to Caroline L. Nicholson and the two curators for the time and thought they have given in the preparation of programs. Page SI Radio Club Officers President Alfred W. Haines Fall Term Vice-President Willits P.

Hai nes THE increasing popularity of Radio Telephony has recently put new life into the Radio Club. The Club was reorganized soon after the fall term commenced in 1921. As several of the former active members gradu- ated the preceding year the few that remained had a hard time to get to- gether. A few meetings were held and regular business was continued for a time. During the winter term little interest was shown, chiefly because good results were not being obtained with the apparatus. After spring va- cation a new storage battery was bought and the instruments were again put in good working condition. We soon began to receive concerts and pro- grams from Schenectady, N. ., Newark, N. J., Pittsburgh, Pa., and many other broadcasting stations. New enthusiasm was raised and the number on the roll started to increase. We hope that in the future this interest will continue and that fellows will not only join for the sake of entertainment, but that they will enter the club with the idea of gaining more knowledge of the scientific and theo- retical end of Radio Telephony and Telegraphy. Latin Club Officers President Donald G. Baker Secretary Curator Edna E. Wetherald Edith M. Cook THIS year a Latin Club was started for all the members of the Latin classes. Meetings were held in the library about once a month. The subjects ranged from the underworld to Mt. Olympus. The first meeting was in celebration of the anniversary of Virgil’s birth. Then a play was given in Latin, based on Ovid’s “Pyramus et Thisbe.” The next meetings included talks on Roman games and amusements, Roman customs, and the wanderings of Aeneas. During the course of the year we learned a good deal about Greek and Roman mythology, and got acquainted with several well known paintings. Considering tiiat it was a new club, it ran very well and we hope it will continue to flourish next year. The Northfield League THE religious life of the girls’ side centers in Northfield. Meetings are held each First-day evening after supper, sometimes in separate groups, but more often all together in the girls’ parlor. We have been very fortunate in having Alice Borton, Janet Payne Whitney, Mary Antin, William Reagan, and James McConaughy speak to the Northfield League this year. Part of the separate group meetings were devoted to discussion and part to silence. Some of the topics of the discussion meetings were:— “Friendship” “The Meaning of Prayer” “Self Mastery” In the spring the meetings were held out-of-doors, and we felt that these meetings were the most helpful. 1‘uyr 8} Resume of the Year 1921 9-13.
