Away from all thy mighty trees, Thy lake, thy fields with blue above, Thy staunch old pine where squirrels frisk, Thy beauties which we've grown to love. For out in the far beyond, today, The world is calling us away. Thy spirit, tho, we will not leave, But carry it where'er we go, And strive to give unto the world What thou has tried to let us know. So may we go with cheerful heart, With ready hand to row, not drift, With ready will to do our part, And each well use his special gift, Where out in the far beyond, today, The world is calling us away.

He is also among those who enjoy themselves on social nights, al- though he never lets his wishes along that line interfere with his get- ting ads for this book.

'26 owes a lot to Deb! Her task it is to keep a record of its deeds, and her smart shingles are a necessary accessory to us all. She keeps her youth by marshaling the basketball team and dribbling a hockey ball for a clever goal. Deb's pep lands her right on committees, too, and she successfully managed the job of A.A.

Mon, of the curly hair and elastic grin, plays center-half or right outside in soccer with the same speed and self-control with which he holds down first in the balmy days of spring. just to keep in condi- tion, Curly scintillates at forward on the basketball team. Really, you know, one can't praise a fellow too much when he enters school one year and makes all the teams, including the relay, and gets elected to the Student Council and Treasurer of the A.A., the next. ln spite of all we can do, his sense of duty deeps him on the straight and narrow path.

When Warner saw what kind of a class we were, he decided to stay out of school a year. just to be a member of the Class of '26. When he returned, we entrusted him with our class money. He made such a good collector that we gave him a harder job, Business Manager of this book. which he Filled just as capably. But Warner isn't always serious-ask Willie Maier. Besides being a rabid Democrat, his other redeeming features are an angelic expression and an ability to get unearned A's.

Sam's mighty left-hook saved many a game for our undefeated soccer team. It would almost seem from his record that Sam is a super-athlete and naught else. For a proof of the opposite theory, behold Sam seated on the high seat of justice garbed in the robes of President of the Student Body. We hear tell that Sam is a graceful dancer in foreign fields, and we have but to watch him on the ice to believe the tale. Characteristic: Toy car Ability involves responsibility Penn State HELEN BACON FALLSINGTON, PA. Entered Fall l923 Atlienians CZD: Latin Club C2D, CID: Home Economics CSD: Union CSD, Secretary CSD. Helen is not often chaotic, but she is sometimes quite audible, expecially if she has occasion to express her opinion. Her favorite pastime is reading, perhaps, for English. At other times she is quite apt to be writing letters or marshaling a sturdygroup of young charges to Fifth-day meeting. Everybody and every group likes to see Helen, for her gentle smile and artless manner act as a soft summer zephyr. Characteristic: Sugar lump I f you would be loved, love and be lovable RICHARD COLLINS BAKER HAVERFORD, PA.

He ariseth while it is yet dark, and once in awhile we see a faint glow after lights. He studies Physics, Latin, and German, and he studies them mighty hard. The two things he is most noted for are a steady left-hook in soccer season and a sure alarm clock for the Senior section. just remember, Dick, Nothing is denied to well-directed labor.

Whenever there's a big show, there must be innumerable people behind the scenes whose small deeds faithfully performed have made the performance possible, and Phebe has filled this niche for our class. Many a time has she saved a dress from complete destruction by removing an erstwhile determined inkspot. Also the botany class can bear testimony to her unassuming dependability in sap-collecting season. The same characteristics have given Phebe a staunch position among the Hockey Reserves.

Life is too fleeting for seriousness: therefore he kids Mary Fitz-Patrick to exasperation and the girls to giggles. Joli has a keen eye for business. l-le has a flourishing trade in crackers, has Filled the treasurer's position in nearly every club, and acts as Circulation Manager for these volumes.

If you would like to know an optimist, just strike up an aquaint- ance with Barton. Dropping wise remarks in her wake she wanders along to classes five minutes late without a cloud in her sky.

If you really want to see what a fellow can do in one short year, just look at the above list. I-Iowever. as he has charge of this book. we really can't say all about him that we would like to. FrankIin's con- versation is noted for its quantity rather than its quality, but at that it's as sensible as that of the most of us.

Among this year's delegation from Barnesville, Mike is one of the bright spots. When she isn't performing some of her Household Man- agement duties. she is pretty sure to be found in the vicinity of her wife, Pat. Among other accomplishments, Edith managed to go a whole semester without getting a discredit. Perhaps her residence at the Bacon Cottage for awhile accounts for this attainment.

When Beck hrst put in her appearance at Westtown who would have thought that she would have become Editor-ln-Chief of the Brown and White and valedictorian of the class, for she doesn t exactly blow her own trumpet, but she does have a bugle which peals forth at startling and unexpected intervals. lf she sets out to do a'th1ng. there's no use trying to dissuade her from her purpose, especially lf she happens to be imitating the high notes of some opera singer. One of her chief hobbies is being out doors, and the lofty tops of the pine trees along South Walk seem to have a certain fascination for her.

Tom is a math shark primarily, and a gymnast secondarily, or vice-versa. Whether geometry and trig come before the high bar in this case does not make much difference, but if there happens to be an extra hard algebra assignment, Tom's room is likely to have visitors. He held down left-outside on the second soccer team, and about the same time was busy making out this spring's track schedule. Inci- dentally, he comes in strong for the high jump.

Brud, the lanky member of Bump and Brud, lnc., didn't get here until this year, which wasn't very nice of him, considering he just had to walk over from West Chester. Brud's virtues are numerous, but he has one besetting sin, namely, a weakness for pictures of West Chester co-eds. But this is mitigated by the fact that many a Senior owes a feed to Brud's generosity, although to look at him you'd never guess he ate anything.

Should Miriam undertake to make out an inventory of the contents of her room, she would probably find that such articles as grapefruit, cake, candy, and peanut butter predominated. But we don't have to view an inventory to realize the presence of these goods and chattels, for we have partaken of them joyfully and without stint as she is of genuine jersey stock, which is well versed in the arts of generous hospitality.

Consequently, his desk usually looks as though it were part of the physics lab transposed. His managerial capabilities are amply illustrated by the efficient way he manages the class photogra- phy.

Hoppy came to Westtown a little while after he had learned to read and write, but quite a little while after he had learned to follow the plow on the alluvial plains of Delaware.

Chris is another one of these gifted athletes to whom every sport offers a potential Varsity.

There is an old adage that reads, Still waters run deep, and so it is that Ethel's quiet, steady progress at Westtown has brought her to rank among the highest.

He had the only set of classical and non- jazz records on the second floor until he went down to the Stone House, and since then we haven't seen much of him. He was elected leader of the orchestra, and fills in with the violin, mandolin, banjo, or almost anything you want. Shober's favorite song, incidentally, is California, Here l Come.

Where did you come from? Oh, goodness! It's too long a story, let me sleep! Before closing my eyes, I turned over and looked out in the hall. Why, I must be down- stairs. The students are passing to classes. Now that's queer. They're not students but books, and I can see right through the covers. There's Poultney Mathews' Sixth Reader, and two others belonging to John Breedlove who keeps the office in the evening, and Florence Houghton, our Hockey Captain. These were immediately followed by three 7th Grade Geographies-one owned by our Cuban dele- gate, Manolo Benitez, another by Bob Hopkins, a skilled woodsmang and one belonging to Warner Gardner, President of Union. I only saw one 4th Science book go skating by. It had Wicky's name on it. But soon I heard some giggling and laughing, and some 3rd Algebras ran past, bearing the names of ,Io Thomas, Virginia Ullery, and Rach Wood fnoted for her extensive vocabularyj. The next book was covered with sketches of girls' heads, and proved to be Lydia Worth's. Deb Harvey's was not far behind with some class minutes in it, for she is the secretary of our class, The next was Cy's, one of our star soccer players. Then came four Botany books, belonging to Marg. Lippincott, Ethel jones, Betty Whitacre Call good hockey and basketball playersl, and Howard Ortlip, a Varsity Soccer man. Again I saw more Algebra books whose owners were Lib Willits, jake Wills, and Chris Jones Cwinner of an Old English W j. Soon after, came an Ancient History, belonging to our other three-letter man, Sam Allen, also Boys' Student Body President. Other New Jersey names were Mabel Evans, Elizabeth Barton Ctreasurer of many societiesj Miriam Evans, Helen Bacon, and Tom Rhoads fPresident of Latin Clubj. Then there came three Reading Books-Elsie Scanan- dore's, Bee Conard's and Frankie Worrell's. Elsie captured first place in the Elocutionary Contest not long after her arrival: Bec was the first girl to run The Brown and While, and Frankie is one of our Art Editors. Next came a drawing pad with Marg Harris, name on it. Marg is usually our best scholar. After this came several English books with the following names: Betty Mellor, head of the Girls' Student Body, Norton Maxfield and George Vaux, both radio enthusiastsg Tom Conard, mathematical expertg Esther Silver, a hard worker on committees, Mattie Sue Taylor, and Ethel Kitcheng and a little later, came the last Zd English book, with Marie Brede's name on it. The first of the Geometry books, I found, after carefully deciphering the name, was owned by Marian Hodgin. Other names were Ruth Greene from Ohio, Eleanor Otis, a prod- uct of sunny California: Dick Baker, Bill Wilkins, the violinist, McKinney, Class Presidentg and Passmore, Vice-President. I wondered how many more there would be, but immediately my question was answered when the dignified Senior Ethics books paraded by. The first two bore the names of Wilmer Cox and Alfred Dallett, who are only a short distance from homeg whereas the third name, 35 GJ Y--T ct?e.!f'vGa 'V'-1-'Y EL .QV G91 Vg!

When they had all passed hy, I began pondering what the people themselves stood for. May it be for Westtown's ideals! In the hall where they had passed I found a paper, and on it were these words: Wcsttown, our thoughts will e'er return To happy days with thee we'vc known.

We do not believe our new system of government perfect, but we do feel that it is a step forward. We hope that the co-operation of the students among themselves and with the Faculty will continue. The Boys' Council at the present time consists of representatives from the four upper classes and one' Faculty member. This new government is modeled in its main features after that of the United States' We have a Council, which is the lower court, a Legislature to make all rules, and a Supreme Court to decide on the higher Council offenses. One new feature in the Boys' Council is the presence of a Faculty member whose more mature experience is a help to us. We believe that under this new plan, matters have gone quite well and, all in all, we have had a successful year. 42 A. Bringhurst. A. Brinton, D. Richie, E.. Wills E. Clark, M. Harris, E.

HENDRICKSON The C-irls' Student Council, consisting of two members from each of the Upper Classes, one from Third and Below, and the Chief Proctor from First Class, is the machine through which the active business of the Student Body is carried on. Our main concern this year has been to make the Credit System, started the latter part of last year, more practical. We all rejoiced at the new dress regulations, which are more up to date and which have made the work of the Council somewhat easier. We have endeavored to put punishments on a constructive basis and to create a com- munity sp1r1t between the teachers, pupils, and :officers of the school: this Cas at presentl we feel can be greatly Improved upon. More individual responsibility is the goal at which we are aiming. 43 I W. Brinton, G. Houghton, A. Bailey, R. Newton, Breedlove, E.. Raiford H. Ortlip, C. Brown, R. Bacon, Walker, C. Jones, W.

RICHARD BACON, '28 The government of the activities of the boys Cother than those dealing with class and scholastic mattersj at Westtown is simple in its underlying philosophy and in its operation. The principle behind it is that all the various groups of any community have some con- tributions to make to the welfare of that community. Our group is composed of Faculty and studentsg both are interested in our problems and in enriching the life here. Besides that participation in government has a large educational value. The only way one can become a citizen is by practicing citizenship. Consequently, students and the Faculty share, in varying degrees, in the making of our laws, in enforcing them, in trying offenders, and in setting pun- ishments and rewards. These function through the Council, the Legislature, the Supreme Court, and a system of section masters, proctors, and inspectors. 44 C. Brown, S. Cope, W. Gardner, H. Brown. E. Evans, R.

Sugges- tions from the readers have been eagerly welcomed and used as far as possible. A literary column and club notes have been kept up most of the year, and a fellowship corner has been added as something which fits in with Westtown interests and ideals. The l926 Board has been larger than usual, with the idea that better work could then be clone and greater interest could be aroused on the part of the Student Body. 45 C. Brown. R. Wood, E..

BROWN The Westtown Literary Union has become the largest and most prominent society of the school. It includes the Senior Class, Triangle and Delta members, and a greater part of the members of First Class. Each member is required to take part in the programs of the meetings which are held every Sixth-day night. Impromptu debates and original essays have constituted part of the programs. Elbert Russell gave a talk on The League of Nations, Francis Pennell on How Plants Live Through the Winter, and Royal Davis on ,IournaIism. The various other clubs of the school have been invited this year to take part in the programs, and have added great interest to the meetings. 49 J. Chambers, B. Wills, C. Jones, S. Kimber, W.

PAssMoRE JOSEPH BRINGHURST ln the Fall and Winter of 1925-l 926, the Westtown Parliamentary Society, a club instituted to teach Westtown boys the essentials of organization and procedure as provided in Roberts' Rules of Order, has slowly found itself headed for real work along parliamentary lines. ln the first term, scarcely a bill of a serious nature was brought up, not to speak of one that was carefully debated, but during the winter the Rules Committee tightened down, and we enjoyed bills ably presented and ably defended. So we believe that, although we have been handicapped by the inability of Master Samuel Brown to attend our meetings, the worm has turned and Parliamentary is bearing back towards the high and enviable ideals of its founders. With this in mind, Parliamentary should be an instructive pleasure next year. .50 'ff Y M. Benitez, R. Thompson, W. Orr, R. Heess, W. Wickersham, D. Craven, R. Cox, C. Bowman, W. Sharpless, Wills H.

GASKILL GEORGE VAUX This year has been very eventful in many ways for Rustic Society. First, we have been greatly aided by our curator, Master Russell Edgerton. Secondly, a new Constitution has been drawn up and adopted, for which we were again indebted to Master Russell. We have held a great number of our meetings in Industrial Hall where we have been entertained by lantern slides on various agricultural subjects. Although the Business Com- mittee labored long and diligently, they were able to arrange only a few field trips, but Owing to the general excellence of the programs, we did not miss the absence of that feature. We have had good attendance at our meetings, due to the excellent programs arranged by our more active members. 52 A. Comfort, E. Krug, M. Babbitt, M. Garrett, M. Borton, E. Wills, D. Richie, A.

HENDRICKSON The Art Club has been very successful in its second year of existence. A new Constitu- tion has made it easier to carry on business. It provides for a Program Committee of six to arrange for all the meetings of the year. Among the programs planned by this committee, of which George Whitney was chairman, were an exhibition of Medici Prints, with talks on the artists, a talk on the Exhibition at Paris by Anne Balderston, one by Carroll Brown on E.tchers, and tableaux of famous paintings given in Union. These programs have been very instructive and very much enjoyed. 53 Richardson, Orr, Nicholson, Moore, Engle, A. Conard Holloway, A. Stanton, Kenworthy, Whitacre, Rhoads, Crouse, H.

WISTAR WooD The club started its twelfth anniversity with a happy outlook and many promising new members. The interest of the boys was sure to be aroused by the interesting programs pre- pared by the committee under the leadership of Master Wister Wood, our curator. The aim of the society is to prepare the boys of Second and Third classes for the more complicated business and debating of Union and Parliamentary. In the first term, the club was entertained by a series of literary selections of travel and personal experiences. In the winter term, the society devoted its talent to the program which it gave in Union. After much deliberation a debate upon militarism was chosen for the sub- ject, as this is a problem which confronts the rising generation as well as one which interests all students. With this and other features we think that the Brightonian Literary Society has added another creditable year to its long list of successful accomplishments. 54 C. Brown, A. Bringhurst, M. Borton, A.

All the members of the club with shouts of lo Saturnalialn partook of ludicrous cookies and wine from wreathed bowls. At our open meeting we presented a varied program-a group of living statues of famous historical and mythical personagesg a shadow picture of Cadmus sowing the dragons' teeth: a Vestal Drill directed by the Sybil, and a drama representing the flight from Troy of loyal Aeneas, his loving wife Creusa, and little Iulus with feeble old Anchises. We feel greatly indebted to Edith Cook for her loyal support and instigation. 56 l . P. Richardson, R. Cox. W. Cox, D. Craven, R. Bacon, Nicholson, C. Harvey R. Edgerton, Chambers, Parker, W.

The climax of the year's work was the open meeting, given in Union, when papers were read on various phases of racliog and Station WBS was put in operation from one of the boy's rooms, with the Westtown Orchestra as the main attraction. Despite the fact that the transmitter was rather small, the broadcast- ing came through well and was enthusiastically received by a large audience. The programs in the meetings have been very instructive, usually taking the form of a talk or a reading on some current phase of radio. 58 I? 'N I ' sm t ith?

Home Economics President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer MARGARET M. LIPPINCOTT FRANCES F. WORRELL ELIZABETH R. HENDRICKSON The Home Economics Society was founded several years ago for students interested in household problems. This year it has organized itself into a small committee to arrange for programs in evening collection so that the whole school might benefit by our speakers. Early in October we held a flower arrange- ment contest. Since then, several outside speakers. who have discussed some of the problems which confront women in general but particularly those whose business it is to successfully manage a home, have helped us to have a very successful year. Q Treasure Seekers Secretary ELSIE MAE SCANANDORE Treasure Seekers is a society of about fifteen girls who meet twice a month at janet Whitney's to hear her read poetry. This year we gave a program in Union, portraying some of the poets with whom we have become acquainted. namely: Amy Lowell, Stevenson, Kipling, Browning, Nathalie Crane. and others. We have enjoyed the poets, and we appreciate her help and wish to thank Janet Whitney for devoting so much time to our soclety. The Northfield League President ELIZABETH D. BARTON Leaders MARGARET A.

There are over forty chapters in public high schools and incorporated secondary schools in the United States. Westtown received a charter in 1921, and the chapter now has thirty-three members. At the end of the first semester, each year, the society may elect as members those Seniors who have a combined average of at least 8801, in their studies for the First Class year and the first semester of the Senior year, and stand in the first tenth of the class. Two members in course were elected at the end of the first semester of this year, Margaret A. Harris and Rebecca S. Conard. Two honorary members were also elected-J. Russell Edgerton and Caroline L. Nicholson. These members-elect were inducted into the chapter at a public meeting following a reunion of the members in former classes at a dinner at the Farmhouse. At the end of the Senior year, those who have a combined average of at least 852, in their studies for the First Class and Senior years, and who stand in the first fifth of the class, may be elected to membership and their names are announced at Commencement. 60 is sTTo T - N ,av--Y Oral English Contest On Third Month I3, l926, nine speakers chosen from the preliminaries spoke in the final contest.

The schedule will show that none of the games resulted in a defeat. There were three tie games, with West Philadelphia, Girard College, and George School. The first we should have wong but it was rather a feather in our caps to have tied the excellent Girard teamg and it is unfor- tunately very unusual to hold George School to a tie on her own grounds. This was a very even contest that was anybOdy's up to the last second. The victory over Frankford was one of the finest things that the team did, for Frankford had a crack team that played Hrst-rate soccer against us. The winning goal came when two of our forwards butted their goal-keeper along the ground and over the line. One very interesting extra game was with an Alumni team of Haverford College stars, which resulted in a victory for them, 3-2. The success Of our team came largely from the unusual work of the two full-backs, Captain Allen and C. Harvey, combined with the steady but not brilliant work of the forward line. C. JOnes's knack of shooting long distance goals from center half-back, and Breedlove's steady game at half back should be mentioned. Ortlip improved remarkably as the season went On, and Evans did excellent work at goal for a first year man. The two outsides had mastered by the end of the year the difficult shots needed for centering the ball. THE TEAM A Position Age Weight Height Points J. ELWOOD EVANS, '27 .

All things considered, we have had a very successful hockey season, only losing one game. The season started almost as soon as school did, with full associations and plenty of good material, but only five players from last year. With the help of an English coach, whom we were fortunate enough to have during the early part of the year, a team developed which, though not boasting any stars, showed good team work and signs of improvement. The first game of the season was with Old Scholars, whom Westtown had beaten the year before. This time the score was a tie. The next game was with Mary Lyons. Westtown did not have any stars, but they played together so well that the final score was 2-I in Westtown's favor. The next match was with F riends' Select, in which Westtown's first team was defeated by a score of 4-2, but the second team game resulted in a Victory for us with a score of 3-I. Our last outside match was with Darlington, in which Westtown came out victor by 7-0. A School-Senior game was scheduled, which resulted in a victory for the school, 6-3. Games were played with the Faculty and the boys' soccer team, which were both very inter- esting. The season closed with Westtown taking part in a tournament of the private schools of the four divisions of Philadelphia and its vicinity. Westtown, Darlington, and Sharon Hill were in the Southwestern Division. At the try-outs held here, nine of our players made the first team, and at the second try-outs, held at Bryn Mawr, eight Westtown players made the first team. The finals among the four divisions were held at the Irwin fields. First and second honorary teams were picked and Westtown boasted of two members on the second team: Florence Houghton, right wing, and Eleanor Wills, left inside. With such success as this, the team felt that their work had not been in vain, and that their knowledge of hockey had increased immensely. THE TEAM FLORENCE HOUGHTON, R. W. ESTHER N. S. SILVER, R. H.

Qsfs.f W Westtown had a very mediocre basketball season, the bright spots in an otherwise drab outlook being the unexpected victory over the fast Swarthmore Fresh quintet and the defeat of our old rival, Wilmington Friends. This is the first time that we have won from the latter since we had the star combination of Carslake, Parker, Henderson, Smith and Lippincott. The team lacked the experience and stamina necessary to maintain this pace throughout the remainder of the schedule, however. With C. Jones and Captain Cox, both excellent scoring guards of last year's quintet, unable to start this year, Allen was the only experienced man in the line-up at the beginning of the season. Allen and Masters, forwards, Bringhurst, center, and Staff and Passmore, guards, started the early season games. Captain Cox later replaced Staff, and Allen and Passmore were shlfted to maintain a steadier defense. At times Cox's remarkably accurate long shots were brilliant indeed. But a good bit of the season his physical condition was such that he could not stand a whole game of fast play- ing. Passmore and Masters were the fastest on the team, but both were a little unsteady in their playing. At times however the latter made some excellent dribbles in scoring territory that resulted in field goals, or else caused the opponents to foul him. Bringhurst got the tips most of the time but often the forwards failed to come in and get them properly. His Hoor work was usually good, though occasionally his man was able to get away from him and score freely. Allen was the highest scorer and the steadiest player on the team but at times he too was a little erratic in guarding and shooting. Among the substitutes Maxfleld and Benitez showed up well at times. Especially in the early games the little Cuban was a hard man to elude, even though his opponents were often larger than he. Maxfield has developed perhaps more than any man on the squad but was not quite up to Varsity caliber. Finch and Evans have also developed considerably, and should do well in another year. ' Experience counts more in basketball perhaps than any other sport, and that is what is sadly lacking among most of the Varsity candidates. More opportunity is needed for the smaller boys to play during the week so that they can learn the fundamentals before they reach the Varsity squad. 1 THE TEAM Age Height Weight Points HERBERT W.

A First association worked faithfully on signals and passes and since there were four of last year's team left the signals were not so hard to learn. We won our Hrst game, which was with Old Scholars, and this encouraged us a great deal. We were not so successful with Darlington, for they won 42-20. Our next game was a first and second team game with Germantown. Since this was played on our own floor it gave the team a certain feeling of security. Westtown won after a hard game. Westtown's first team played Sleighton Farms, who had organized a basketball team this year for the first time. It was played mainly for the practice it would give both teams. The score was 78-8 in Westtown's favor. The next two games were not so favorable for Westtown as we might have wished. They were played at Mary Lyons and at Irwin, where the first and second teams lost at both places. The last game of the season was with Wilmington, whom we played on our own floor. The score resulted in a victory of 28-8 in favor of Westtown. Various Interclass and School-Senior games closed basketball for the year and everyone felt that the season had been very successful despite several defeats. THE TEAM SARA G. COPE . . . . . .

The exceedingly late spring made any practice before Easter vacation impossible and as this book goes to print the only action several of the candidates for positions have seen was in the annual pre- season North-South game, which resulted in a victory for the Southerners. Only four veterans from last year's team are in School at present, and it appears very likely that only one of them will Hll his old position for several shifts may have to be made in order to make the team as strong defensively as possible. H Captain Jones, on account of an operation, will be unable to hold down the catcher's position but will undoubtedly see action at first base or over on the other side of the diamond at the hot corner. Cox, last year's moundsman, will do the pitching again if his arm stays in good condition, if not, he will do the receiving, as he is also an experienced catcher. ln that case Finch will probably see duty on the slab. If Cox pitches, however, Passmore will do the catching. Whitacre, though rather diminutive,seemS to have a Very good chance to hold down second base while Masters will undoubtedly keep his old position at short stop. Evans, the most likely candidate for third base, is rather inexperienced but may develop as he gets more practice. Bowman with his hard hitting and good fielding in practice seems to have a sure berth in center-Held, while l... Bringhurst will again cavort around the right garden unless he is used on first base, and either Orr or Passmore will cover the left-field position. However, Crouse may be able to land one of the outfield or infield positions. . PROSPECTS FOR THE VARSITY TEAM Position Age Height Weight MAURICE W. PASSMORE, '26 c., 1. f. 5.8 I47 Rici-IARD C.

There were a number of likely candidates, and competition for places on the team was very keen. A schedule of seven matches made it an interesting season. We deeply regretted that Master Samuel H. Brown was unable to give us his valuable leadership and the advantage of his tennis experience. We were very fortunate, however, to secure the services of Master Wistar Wood, and under his tutelage the season was successful. Among the outstanding contenders for places on the team were Captain Wilkins, W. Wickersham, A. McKinney, T. Rhoacls, S. Allen, and Breedlove. Captain Wilkins proved a very able leader and all members of the tennis association co- operated very efficiently with him and the manager.

MAE JANUARY Since the Class Ladder tournament worked so well last year we decided to adopt that system again this year. It seems to be working quite satisfactorily. We lost some of our best players with last year's class, but there is a large amount of new material which is very promising. At present there is only one match scheduled. It is with George School on May 22d. The season will close with the cup tournament, the winner having her name engraved on the Savery Cup. 78 5,-.ff f '- , , ' , . , .15 . y . , A. Conard, H.

CONARD, '26 The season of l925 had little to offer at its beginning by the way of encouragement as few veterans of the previous team were available. However, hard work and determination built a team which won its class at the Penn Relays. The meet with Haverford Freshmen resulted in a triumph for the school by virtue of being satisfied with what first places were possible against more experienced athletes and concentrating on second and third places. The result- ing score was 42-39. The Williamson meet resulted in another win for Westtown with a score of 662-I4-M. The lnterclass meet returned the Seniors as winners, with Second Class, runners-up. The following new records were made during the season: High jump, 5 ft. 6 in., F. Marston, '27g Running Broad, 20 ft. 2M in., G. Rhoads, '25g Pole Vault, I0 ft. 6M in., F. Houghton, '24, Discus Throw, IO4 ft. I in., W. Alsop, '25. Prospects for this season are even more difficult to gauge than they were last year for few of those in competition last season are available, but if the characteristic grit and deter- mination common to Westtown teams and athletes is produced, results worthyof the efforts expended should soon be on record.

Wills, Wills, R. Whitacre, Conard Skating Figure skating at Westtown is a traditional sport, dating back almost as far as the school itself. It started long before competitive sports were introduced at Westtown, and fortu- nately it has not been forced out by them. Although at times ice hockey has threatened to replace it, fancy skating has always more than held its own and from present indications bids fair to continue to do so. . Because of the interest taken in this form of skating Westtown has always taken steps to provide good ice for those who enjoy this sport. Since the present fourteen acre lake was built, Westtown has probably more skating each winter than any locality for a good many miles around. After a snow storm the snow is scraped off and the ice planed so that we have skating fairly regularly from the middle of December to March. This year we had almost two weeks' skating in March and quite a number availed themselves of the opportunity to get passed into ranks. The high level maintained in this sport at Westtown is due in a very large measure to the helpful instruction and encouragement given by Master Thomas K. Brown, Egbert Carey, and Master Carroll T. Brown to three generations of devotees of fancy skating. RANKS' First WILFRED H. WICKERSHAM, '26 SAMUEL L. ALLEN, '26 Second Third CYRUS R. HARVEY, '26 HERBERT W. MASTERS, '28 T. POULTNEY E..

This progress was largely due to the untiring efforts of Coach Eliot and the water work of Captain Cox, who comes back next year with virtually his entire squad. V. Coach Eliot says of swimming, As a competitive sport, swimming develops true blue athletes. Lacking as it does the element of physical contact that is found in a great number of our competitive games, it remains unmarred by unfair tactics or personal encounters of a discouraging nature. From the standpoint of exercise it is without a peer. All the muscles of the body.are called into action, and the vital organs are developed to a harmonious degree of perfection. Here is a sport that knows no off season. During the winter the indoor season is on, while in the summer the outdoor season gets in its work. By the development of different styles of competition, it has made room for all whose hearts are strong enough to enter the lists.
