GLASS POEM Now Twenty-three, in looking back Into the dim but fruitful Past, Sees the things it might have done, Sees the victories it has won. Finds its own reward at last ; At the parting of the Ways Gaze we into future days, Days that have a rosy hue, Days so full of deeds to do ; Work far off, yet still in reach With Each for all and all for each. From these portals every year Goes a class with memories dear. But none, O Westtown, feel for thee, A greater love than Twenty-three. In the far ages Stretching before us Will Westtown flourish With joy to the founders, Whose motto was Service ; Who gave and kept giving That Westtown should prosper? In the past ages Full of achievements Was Westtown builded ; Whose motto was Service, Who gave and kept giving That Westtown might flourish. Service, surely, founded Westtown In the days of long ago; Where every student now doth find Good for soul and good for mind. Her light to all a steady glow. Here we feel the healthful breeze See the tall majestic trees, Love the rolling of the hills Love the blue lake and the rills. Friendship, duty, sports are here, Growing stronger year by year. We love the dawn and sunset glow And beauty wheresoe ' er we go. Love the seasons — Springtime. Fall With sunlight streaming over all. Grace M. Outland, ' 23. CLASS OFFICERS President George P.

This year it has increased considerably and with it an individual responsibility which is felt by all of the girls. All study collections have been conducted bv the girls themselves, on an honor basis. The dormitories have also been controlled by Student Government at bed-time. Questions of dress have been dis- cussed by the Student Council, but the girls themselves act as checks ' ' on each other in carrying out the va- rious regulations. All serious problems of discipline were brought to Student Council and in some cases were discussed with members of the faculty. In this way ideas have been exchanged between girls and faculty and a broader and clearer view of situations obtained. The collection of Charitable Funds has been conducted by Stu- dent Council. During the year the girls have contributed to a Russian Fund. The regular campaign for the support of the Japanese girl was made in the early spring. Above all other school activities, Student Govern- ment is increasing every year. The necessity for co-operation among the girls and faculty helps to make it more powerful each year.

Plans were drawn up before school started in the fall, giving the boys increased privileges and making Student Government a thing in reality. The Council met twice a week regularly, passing on the allotment of de- merits for malefactors. An advisory Committee was created, composed of five boys, whose duty it is to act as a primary jury and decide whether a certain case should be reported or not. and even to suggest a certain num- ber of demerits. Each misdoer is seen personally by a member of this committee before he receives his demerits. This has put a personal touch into it which is needed. This committee has done its work well and the Council has always tried to reach a fair decision on all cases. There seems to have been a fine school spirit shown this year on almost all occasions.

Hetzel Curator Caroline L. Nicholson UNION was formed a good many years ago by a group of boys and girls who wished to stimulate interest along literary lines ; and ever since it has been an important institution at Westtown. Meetings are held every Sixth-day evening during the school year, with a few special sessions for business. The programs for the year have been very interesting and successful, containing a series of contests, many original essays, and other literary features. There have been illustrated talks on French Cathedrals, Western scenery, and Swiss mountains, given by various members of the teaching staff. The Natural History Committee gave an enjoyable entertainment in one meeting, and Judge Wells, of Burlington County. New Jersey, spoke early in the winter term on the essentials of success. It is to be hoped that in the years to come Union will always retain a high standard of literary excellence.

Brown DURING the fourteen years of its existence Parliamentary has been of value to its members as a helpful instructor in the procedure of Congressional business. Each year has produced active members who, by their interest and study of the subject, have put real antagonistic pep into the debates. The discriminat- ing choice of officers has also helped the proper procedure of the agenda. This last year has been no excep- tion to the rule. Bills concerning everything from immigration laws to installing soda fountains in the house chamber have kept the program varied. The different administrative committees, such as the Rules Committee and Committee on International Affairs, have worked well in co-operating with the Chair. During the spring term the society gave an open Parliamentary meeting to the school, trying to illustrate the proper way business in the United States Senate is carried on. The society expresses its appreciation for the aid rendered by Master Samuel H. Brown on difficult legis- lative questions. With the close of 1923 in sight, the members are able to look back on a very successful season. COMITIA Chairman Helen W. Leedom Chairman Mary R. Worth 8? OFFICERS FALL TERM Clerk Treasurer Edith D. Lippincott Elinor Jacob SPRING TERM Clerk Treasurer Esther G. Hunt Rebecca L. Wills Factotum Ruth H. Brinton Factotum Florence V. Osborne GOMITIA, the society whose purpose is to familiarize the girls with parliamentary procedure, has been im- proving and expanding during the year. The parliamentary drill which Master Samuel Brown gave had good results and meetings were held in a more uniformly correct manner since his visit. During the course of several meetings the society represented sessions of the United States Senate. Each member took the name of a Senator, and bills were brought up which were often amusing as well as instructive. In addition to this, the programs have consisted of representations of voter ' s leagues, debates, discussion of current topics, etc. Comitia is a beneficial society, and as such, will, no doubt, flourish and gather strength as it is continued in the future. Rustic WESTTOWN RUSTIC SOCIETY President WlSTAR E. COX OFFICERS FALL TERM Secretary J ' ice -President Howard H. Moon Newbold R. H. Varian Treasurer Howard S. Thompson President Newbold R. H. Varian WINTER TERM Secretary J ' ice-President S. Hewlings Cooper William Mellor Treasurer Ingram Richardson THIS year has been a very successful one for the Rustic Society. With the assistance, or rather leader- ship, of our faculty members, James F. Walker and E. Grant Spicer, a spirit of true interest in subjects pertaining to Agriculture has been attained. In the fall term the society took motor trips to some of the successful farms and dairies which are to be seen in and around Chester County. These trips were something new, but proved very successful as they helped to make Rustic what it now is. At present it is one of the most flourishing ' societies at Westtown and seems to be improving. During the Winter term we had various outside speakers who made that part of the year quite inter- esting. The speakers were not only interesting, but they brought to us many valuable pointers which made us realize the real place that Agriculture now holds among the professions. Much credit should be given to the Business Committee, which has planned these interesting programs for us. In previous years fellows seemed inclined to join Rustic merely in order to attend the feed at the end of the year. This did not seem to be the case this year because the fellows seemed to take an interest in the real business of the society. We, who are leaving this year, hope to see the society thrive as successfully another year as it has during the past one. Radio RADIO CLUB President Willits P.

Maier THE Radio Club has for some years been attempting to promote interest in the science of Wireless. It has held regular weekly meetings for the discussion of topics connected with the Radio science and the members have frequently given talks on various phases of this subject. This year, owing to the recent development of wireless telephony, the roll call has increased considerably. In consideration of the fact that the former receiving set was very poorly adapted to the reception of musical broadcasting stations, a new Clapp- Eastham set was purchased with the help of the Alumni Association. This set enables the club members to receive most of the important U. S. broadcasting stations east of the Mississippi. The set also is provided with sufficient amplification to be used in conjunction with a loud speaker, so that a whole room-full of people can enjoy the music at once. A class is also to be started in which the telegraph code is to be taught, and it is hoped that the club will produce a few amateur radio operators. Home Economics HOME ECONOMICS SOCIETY ■8 OFFICERS President Secretary and Treasurer Dorothy M. Hunt, ' 23 Doris E. Blackburn, ' 24 THE society this year found a very real and concrete problem needing solution. The Home Economics Cottage that has gradually taken shape near the West Entrance is to be furnished and equipped by next fall. The Home Economics Society was delighted to be invited to take charge of planning for the furnishing of the different rooms. The members organized in small groups to study and select the style of furniture and its arrangement for the different rooms and the colors and materials for draperies and carpets. Sara Mickle, an Alumna of the school, Ehna Schick, who has had charge of a great deal of Interior Dec- oration that has been done through John Wanamaker ' s, and others, discussed for the Society the general prin- ciples that need to be considered and observed in selecting the furnishings for a home. The plans worked out by the members of this Society as well as plans prepared by the members of the class in Household Manage- ment are to be judged by a committee chosen by the society. Those receiving the greatest approval will be followed in selecting the furnishings for the Cottage. Athenians ATHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY President Agnes M. Post Vice-President Caroline H.

The pur- pose of the Society is to prepare girls of second class and helow for entering Union. The curators and their committees, with the help of Margaret Taylor, prepared some very interesting and instructive pro- grams. At some time during the year, every member has taken part in the programs, which consisted of im- promptu speeches, games, original plays and debates on various topics. The year was brought to a close by an excellent play, given to the members of Brightonian. UllillTOXIAXS BRIGHTONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY President John C. Breedlove Vice-President Alfred G.

WINTER TERM Secretary Frederic Taylor Treasurer Cyrus R. Harvey Curator Cebren W. Joyner THE Brightonian Literary Society was founded in 191L Its main object has been to help the boys in the second and third classes to speak more intelligently and freely in public and so to prepare them for Union, as well as to afford an entertainment for Sixth-day evenings. Last year the fourth class boys rooming in the main building were allowed to become members. Brightonians started up about a month after school started. It was larger than it has been for many years. The meetings were as successful as usual. No special talent was discovered, but a very good spirit of support was shown throughout the year. Master Cebren Joyner was elected Curator and under his guidance the programs have been interesting and instructing. The future of Brightonians seems bright as the boys who next year will be in charge seem to take a great deal of interest in its welfare. The Brightonian Society will most surely always be a help to the younger boys of the school in the art of public speaking. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS President Secretaire Charles A. Bartlett Helen G.

The programs have been varied ; we have had several illustrated talks, learned French games and songs, and, besides enjoying ourselves, we have improved our French greatly. We feel that the efforts of Marian Rustedt, the directrice, have been well repaid. SOCIETAS LATINA Princeps Pro principe Scriba Quaestor Curator William B. Test Esther G. Hunt Rebecca L.

With Edith Cook ' s enthusiasm behind them, the members of the L business committee have put across an interesting program for every meeting. Roman history, as well as derivation matches comprised part of the programs. During the Spring term most of the time was spent in rehearsing for the Roman Wedding Play given the latter part of the Spring term. It will undoubtedly be to the good of the Latin students in the future if this club is kept up in the years to THE NORTHFIELD LEAGUE President Mary S. Evans Northficld Leaders Sarah C.

Lippincott NORTHFIELD means to the girls a few minutes of quiet on First-day evenings, when, sitting in groups of ten to fifty on floor and table, all are striving together for something higher. Topics for discus- sion have varied from Friendship, to use of the meeting hour and First days. Sometimes passages from the Bible and from books such as Just Over the Hill. and One Girl ' s Influence ' ' have been read. At Christmas time the girls made and filled stockings for the children living on the Farm. The interest of the Faculty in attending the group meetings is always appreciated. Elizabeth Warner and Faith Borton, ' 18. each gave inspiring talks. The leaders thank three members of the Young Friends ' Committee for their encouragement in mid-winter. CUM LAUDE % THE Cum Laude is an honor Society in secondary schools, corresponding to the Phi Beta Kappa in the Col- leges. Membership is open to those in the Senior Class who have a combined average of 85% for their First Class and Senior years. A Senior with as high an average as 88% may be elected to membership in the middle of the year. Edna E. ' etherald received this honor in Second month. 444 W TRIANGLE AND DELTA BOYS Charles A.

Membership in them is earned by good scholarship, good conduct, and a sufficient number of points given for athletic, scholas- tic, and executive ability. Special privileges are granted to the members of these societies, among which are unlimited permissions for week-end visits at home. HOME ECONOMICS BUILDING The Bacon Cottage THE structure which has gradually assumed the form of an inviting and attractive house as we have watched its development from day to day on the slope north of the girls ' tennis courts must have some men- tion in the annals of this year at WesttOwn. Whence has it come and why ? In 1918 the school received a generous bequest from the late Helen R. Bacon, of Torresdale, Philadelphia, whose wish it was to promote an interest in country life among Young Friends. She realized that if young people are to choose to live in the country they must know how to deal with problems of agriculture and home- making and for this reason she granted to Westtown a fund to be used for this purpose. After a careful survey it was found that adequate provision for instruction in home-making necessitated an- other building. This explains the appearance of what is to be known as the Bacon Cottage. In addition to ac- commodating six residents, (five students and the director of the work), it contains rooms for cooking, sewing, and art classes as well as laundry facilities in the basement for the use of all the girls. Girls who elect certain of the Home Economics courses will take turns living in the cottage, preparing the meals and taking full charge of the work of the house. So it appears that not only those who are to enter upon the difficult task of establishing a home in the country but others as well are to receive benefit from the kindness of Helen R. Bacon.

' 25 Soccer I eai SOCCER, 1922-23 Captain Edward L. Carslake Manager John E. Parker, Jr. Coach Carroll T. Brown OXE tie game, three defeats, and threj victories; this makes the sum total of the soccer season. But there is more than that to he said. The tie game was par- ticularly painful, since one of our man presented Central High with her last tally. On the other hand, though Frankford finally won, the game was a tine exhibition of soccer on both sides, to be looked back to with solid satisfaction. The victory over George School and the losing to Girard followed what seems a regular course, the result of these games generally depending on where they are played. But we must hasten to add, for the sake of next year ' s team, that there is nothing sacred about this habit. Girard has beaten us at home and we have defeated her in her own gravel pits. Taken as a whole, the team was strong on offense and weak on defense. As a scor- ing machine the front line trio, from outside right to centre, Parker, Thompson, and Biiins, played at times as pretty soccer as one would wish to see. The half-backs were steady and dependable. Cooper and Lippincott feeding the forward line cleverly, and Test playing a good dodging and dribbling game. The fullbacks kept learning some- thing all season, and the goal keeping was very good. No game was lost on account of a fluke by the goal keeper. The bright spots of the season were: the improvement in i Smith. Walter Brown ' s goal keeping. Parker ' s centering from the outside. Thompson ' s self and the ball out of a crowd, and Binns ' s goal shooting. Walter J. Browx, Jr. Edward L. Carslake Newbold R. H. Varian S. Hewlings Coopek William B. Test George P.

Lippincott, Jr. Manager Howard S. Thompson Coach Eugene R. Raiford w; ITH three lost from last year ' s Varsity and very little new material to draw from this year, hopes were not very high for a successful season ; nevertheless West- town had one of the hest basketball teams in her history. The second team made a clean record and the Varsity won eight straight games and then lost to the fast Williamson quintet by three points after a hard-fought contest. The team had the extra fight at the finish which was lacking last year and many ex- citing games were won in the last few minutes of play. The most spectacular victories were over Swarthmore Prep and Girard College. At half time Swarthmore led 19-10; but an overtime period finally gave VVesttown a 26-25 score. It took two extra overtime periods to decide the Girard game and it was probably the best and fastest exhibition of basketball ever seen on the local court. Parker and Carslake were a reliable scoring combination at the forward positions, and Smith at floor guard could always be counted upon for points ; it was his excellent playing that pulled the Girard game out of the fire. Captain Lippincott at back guard was a worthy opponent for any forward, and I, as coach, wish to commend him for the inspiring way in which he led the team. Binns played both the forward and guard positions well, and could be used wherever he was needed most. Henderson was a good man at center but if he could have been used at guard he would have been a star. The second team also deserves a lot of credit for the work that it has done. Cox, Bell, Richardson, Thomp- son, Cooper, Mann and Jones all gave their best to make the season a success.

Thompson shows a little stuff at shortstop while Henderson and Mann seem to be putting up quite a scrap for the other outfield position. The team as a whole is quite strong on the defensive but could make considerable improvement on the offensive. In the Swarth- more game a record was set that will probably stand for quite a long time. At the end of 15 innings the score was still tied at ' ■)- ' ■) and the game was called on account of dark- ness. The rival pitchers struck out a total of • () men. Smith the star YVesttown t wirier whiff- ing 27 batsmen and Slayton his opponent sending 23 men back to the bench. The team has been unfortunate in having so many of its early season games cancelled, especially since such worthy opponents as Williamson, George School, and Girard are on the latter end of the schedule.

Brown I N H)22, the Tennis team was one of the best for several years, and won all meets except that with George School. That was a classic, 4 matches to 3, the result depending on the very last stroke of a long five-set tilt in the First Doubles. The school champion was Niles I. Mekeel, ' 23, who just defeated the runner-up, John E. Forsythe, ' 23, in a five-set match where each had had the other match point, and the third set went to the astonishing score of 20-18. This year we miss all last year ' s team except Captain Forsythe. The team has not been formally chosen, but in our first meet with Williamson School, the Captain was aided by John H. Hoag, ' 23, William K. Alsop, ' 25, Clayton L. Brown, ' 25, and James S. Maier, ' 25, while Ingram Richard- son, ' 24, filled a vacancy. We shall play Belfield, Swarthmore Prep, George School, and Girard. We won all seven matches against Williamson, but cannot expect equal luck again. If success comes, it will be as the result of a green team that fights every inch of the way, and has worked splendidly to make the loss of our veterans less felt. The tennis-ladder is working well, and among the younger players on it to whom we look next year are R. Wistar and H. Brown, ' 24, J. Breedlove, ' 25 and S. Pain. The thanks of all are due to Manager Bartlett and his able assistants, Richardson and Wistar. HKSVTIIK Track Team TRACK Captain V .lliam B. Test Manager Randolph Wixslow Coach Lewis A. Taylor T HE track schedule this year consists of a relay team entry in the Penn Relays and dual meets with Williamson School and Haverford College Freshmen, in addition to the usual intra-school meet. In preparation for the season, twelve or fifteen can- didates for the relay team did cross-country running and conditioning exercises in the gym- nasium until the trac k was in condition for regular work outside, and although handicapped at Penn by the absence of Webster, the relay team placed third in their class, Stanley Moore running his quarter in fifty-four seconds. The results of the intra-class meet give promise of a strong team for our dual meets, three school records being broken and two others threatened in the competition between the Seniors and Second and below, for first place. John Parker established a new height of ten feet, five and one-eighth inches in the pole vault ; Moore set a record of fifty-five and two-fifth seconds in the four-forty yard dash, and Captain Test lowered his own record in the half-mile to two minutes, twelve and four-fifths seconds. While no predictions can be made for the rest of the season, with Captain Test, Moore, Parker and R. Smith on the track, Parker in the pole vault. Lippincott in the broad jump, Mann in the high jump, and Henderson in the weights as a nucleus around which to build the team, we hope to repeat last year ' s victory over Williamson and to disappoint the Haverford Freshmen. Captain Test BOYS ' INTER-CLASS SPORTS THIS year there has been an unusual amount of friendly rivalry between classes for the class championship in the different lines of athletics at which Westtowri boys excel. As in previous years, this rivalry has re- solved itself into championship matches between the Seniors and the combined forces of the School. Nat- urally most interest centers around the soccer, basketball, and baseball matches, but this year, ' tennis, ice hockey and volley-ball have been added to the list. Two inter-class soccer games were played last fall, the Seniors winning the first by the score of 3-1 and tie- ing the second at 1-1. The first game saw two evenly matched teams battle to a hard earned tie score at the end of the second half. However, soon after the extra period began. Joe Binns, the Senior ' s star centre forward, broke loose and put the game on ice by kicking two beautiful field goals. The second game of the series was as fast and as thrilling a game as has been played on Westtown ' s field this year. Spirit ran high on both sides, and both teams strained every muscle to put through the winning goal. However, in spite of the fact that an extra period was played, neither side was able to score, and the game ended in a tie at 1-1. The Seniors also triumphed over the school in ice hockey to the tune of 6 goals to 1. In spite of the bitter northeast wind which was blowing at the time, quite a crowd of rooters came out and cheered for the valiant skaters. The School vs. Seniors basketball game was a thriller from start to finish. In this game the school team showed that they were out for blood, and every man out-did himself. Cox and Smith were the shining luminaries of the School team. Nevertheless, the more experienced Seniors were not to be denied, and when a point was needed, they came through with the point and ended up by winning the game, 37-34. Lippincott, Carslake and Parker played stellar games for their team. An inter-class volley ball match was looked forward to with great expectation of a hotlv-contested match, but when the time came, the Seniors easily won the required two out of three matches, giving the Seniors another championship. ] There are three more matches to be played, for the track, tennis and baseball championship. There is also a probability of an inter-class swimming meet. These contests will probablv give the school at least a chance to find out what victory tastes like. hi i n i l i iii l ii i n m nw Girls ' Executive rljuLS ' EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE President Ruth O.

South o period, played UR 1922 hockey season began almost as soon as school did and everyone in the three associations started in to practice with a will. The first game, which came earlier than usual, was with Germantown Friends. It was very close all the way through, in fact almost too close, for the final score, in spite of an extra was 3-3. Sometime after this, in a game different from any seen at Westtown before, the hockey team the soccer eleven, with the sad result of being beaten 3-0. A force of Old Scholars was Westtown ' s next adversary. The team went into this game with a determination to do or die, and finished up the Old Scholars with a 5-2 score. This vear, much to everyone ' s delight, first and second team games were arranged with George School. For a week before these games we were fortunate enough to have Miss Warner, an English hockey player, as our coach. Under her instruction the team brushed up on its passing and when the eventful day arrived, Westtown was success- ful in both games. The first team piled up five goals to George School ' s one and the second team, although most of it had never been in an outside game before, easily out-distanced George School ' s second, 3-0. The inter-class series was won this year by the Seniors, who also trounced their opponents in the renowned School-Senior contest. The last outside game was with our old hockey rival Mary Lyon. Westtown ' s team was by this time pretty well polished up and it did not have much trouble beating the visitors 8-2. Now, look back over this record and answer the question : Have we have- a successful season? The team was as follows : Elinor Jacob, R.W. Frances Potter, R.W. Rebecca L. Wills, R.I. Ruth H. Brinton. C.F. Isabel R. Fisher, L.I. Dorothy M. Hunt, L.W. Eleanor H. Valentine, R.H.B. Edith D. Lippincott, C.H.B. Margaret C. Evans, L.H.B. Mary S. Evans, L.H.B. Anna L. Evans, R.F.B. Sarah C.

Mae January T were larly VHE basketball season of 1923 was an unusually successful one for esttown. Not only the girls on Fir st Association, but all who were signed up to play took an active interest in the game. At the beginning of the season five associations formed. Each association consisted of twelve members and the teams played regu- once a week. Westtown ' s first opponent was a team of Old Scholars. This game was very one-sided and quite an encouraging prophecy for the season, the score being 60-8 in favor of the school team. Later in the season, Westtown tackled two teams from Mary Lyon. The first team won its match 46-7 and the second team followed suit with 35-17, giving Westtown a double victory over her old rival. The next conflict was with Temple University ' s second team. This was the hardest and fastest game of the season and Westtown came very near spoiling her record. However, by fighting hard she was victorious with a 32-30 score. The season was wound up by a game with Friends ' Select, in which the final score was 51-7. The School-Senior game was won by the Seniors, who easily out-distanced the School, 39-8. The success of the season was due largely to the faithfulness of the members of First Association in practicing. Even during the finest skating weather they gave up a large part of their time to prac- tices in which they developed a good signal system and increased their ability to play together. The team was very well balanced, having no particularly brilliant stars and also not a single weak spot. Every member did her part in winning the games and they all certainly deserved the success that they attained. THE TEAM Dorothy M. Hunt, forward Sarah M. Pennell, center Edith A.

Evans First Association Ruth Biddle Sarah C. Carslake Margaret C. Evans Mary S. Evans Mary K. Folwell Catharine H. Greer Frances G. Williams Rebecca L. Wills Coach E. Mae January THE tennis season opened early this year. The day after Spring Vacation ended one might have seen several squads of girls scattered over the courts, pulling out the weeds and grass. When this was done, the boys came over and rolled them ; finally all were limed. Then much to our dismay, four inches of snow fell and the whole process had to be gone through again. However, after all this treatment, the courts are in better condition than they have been for some time. We have seven courts and two groups of four play each afternoon. Twenty-four girls tried out for First Association and although only eight were chosen there is a lot of fine material coming on for next year. All last year ' s team is on the job this year. Perhaps there will be a match with the Old Scholars ; but that with George School is the big event in the tennis season. Since we were beaten last year, tense interest centers about this match. The Albert Savery Cup is at the top of the ladder for the one who climbs successfully. The winner of the First Association tournament has her name inscribed on this cup and it ' s a persevering, good tennis player that gets this honor. GIRLS ' GYM MEET, 1923 ONE of the Westtown winter activities is gym work, which is carried on in classes organized early in the winter term. This program is generally wound up by a gym meet in which classes and individuals compete for places. This year a very interesting meet was held on Third month, seventeenth, under the supervision of Mae January. The program began with a grand march in which all the girls in gym classes took part. After several intricate figures, including a very vigorous performance called Seven Jumps, had been successfully accomplished, the floor was cleared for the class marching and exercises. The marching con- sisted of various formations done by chosen squads from First and Senior classes in groups of four and the exercises were ones which had been learned in the regular gym classes, and represented the motions used in several sports, such as a basketball throw. Dodge ball, two obstacle races, and a balloon race provided some ex- citement and came sandwiched in between exercises on different pieces of apparatus. This was followed by a series of challenges given by the diffe rent classes to each other, consisting of a collection of difficult and inter- esting stunts. The meet was then brought to a finish bv two dances, the Ace of Diamonds and Yankee Doodle, executed by representatives of all the classes. While everyone, was getting her breath back. Teacher May an- nounced that of all the classes the Seniors had received the highest score and that the individual places had been awarded as follows : First — Rebecca L. Wills Ruth H. Brinton Second — Anna L. Evans Third — Eleanor E. Staff Fourth — Mary K. Fclwell Fifth — Edith Satterthwaite Sixth — Dorothy M. Hunt  Mcati The Brown and White Board THE BROWN AND WHITE Edna E.

Brown A SCHOOL paper is intended to bring out the best and most important phases of school life and to keep current news before the student body, and Alumni. This the Brown and White has attempted to do in the ' last year. Sixteen issues have been sent from the press, the last three being edited entirely by the new 1924 Board. As has been the custom for the last two years, the girls put out each alternate issue. In this way the work is more evenly divided and all school activities are better represented. More attention than usual has been given to the literary and editorial departments. The athletic write-ups have been brought up to a high standard also. There has been unusual interest taken for membership on the board and there are many applicants for the business end of it for the following year. With this in mind we predict a successful year for the paper in 1924 and thank them for their co-operation this year. Richard Wistar is the Editor-in-Chief for next year.
