In dedicating the AMICUS of '46 to you, we wish to thank you for all the help you have given us this year, and for all the fun too. We won't forget your recitation at our first camp supper, the teas you gave for the girls in your room, the wise words you said at the class banquet. We will always remember you for the little and big ways in which you made our Senior year at Westtown our best one. Sincerely, THE CLAss OF '46. Two SCHOOL We Three james Walker, Rachel Letchworth, Lou Flaccus THE HANDSHAKE that closes First and Fifth day meetings at Westtown belongs to none other than our own Master James, He has endeared himself to the students by his quiet, kindly voice and fatherly advice, out of line with the strict pattern which one usually thinks of principals. We will well ref member his talk on boyfgirl relations . . . the steady' ing influence of his smile . . . the nod dismissing us from the auditorium . . . the house at the end of the lane. As long as Teacher Rachel is in charge at West End, a quick Scotch wit and animated tongue will keep the lassies in place. It soon becomes obvious that, although she means what she says, her bark is worse than her bite. New girls who wonder at her brisk approach are shortly asking her aid on this or that problem. There is never any mistaking Five what Teacher Rachel means, her frankness is one of her virtues . . . her slogan, Lady, be good! l A long, lanky stride and a lazyfman's drawl . . . could be it's Pappy Lou. He has received various offers from Ringling Brothers to put on a circus act tying himself in knots the way he does on the stage or at any other time he finds himself in a chair. All outward appearances to the contrary, the dean of boys manages to keep himself busy teaching German, signing weekfend permissions, coaching soccer and tennis, and raising young Flacci. Master James, Teacher Rachel, Master Lou . . . we seldom realize how much we are indebted to them, our true friends. These are the three who most guide our youthful destinies. Their sympathy and understanding have helped unite us in West- town's homelike atmosphere. GUARDIANS of intellectual advancements, health, social development, life at Westtown . . . This is our Faculty. Master Carroll, earning first consideration with the longest teaching record, encouraged apprehenf sive English students by pointing his finger at them and demanding, Are we being intelligent? , one of his many subtle and mysterious ways of bring' ing order out of chaos in the minds of conserf vative youth . . . We were informed on the state of affairs in the world approximately once a month by the head of our history department, one A. Hay, who between these discourses fascinated us with tales of his fabulous relatives . . . Colonel, efficiency plus, perpetually posted notices, Don't forget to get weighed! and faithfully compared the stand' ings of the present chem classes with those of three to six years past . . . Master Fred taught his phyf sics classes, assisted by bubbles and balloons .... Teacher Gladys dutifully, but with a kindly smile, told the girls that they shouldn't wear that much lipstick to dinner . . . Isn't it time to go to the tower, girls? Don't be late now. Well, I know, but . . Who save Agnes Thomas, whose cheerful mothering was missed on the dorm during her winter School illness more than we can tell . . . The amazing method of finding the awea of a pawaboa is def scribed by Master John Parker, whose political opinf ions remain Westtown's Great Unsolved Mystery . . . A renowned artist is Teacher Dot. Ever see the little faces on the A.A. Board notices? They keep us up to date on athletic happenings and ref mind us to be sure to check out in the Nook . . . Master Al Hole returned from France, still fond of a double breasted suit and somber tie, to teach some Seniors Quak and others French . . .Teacher Alice sought peace and quiet in the library with her notfsofsubtle pencil tapping . . . A loud honk and the dining room turns around in one motion to see a train come through the wall, but it's only Master Bernie's chuckling . . . If you happened to see any strange hands around with fingers chewed below the joint they probably belong to Teacher Margaret or someone who helped her to make Pina' fore such a grand success in the face of all the diffif culties . . . A smooth voice and gentle manner, Mas' ter Russ, his Ag is assimilated by the Senior boys with no effort whatsoever . . . A hearty laugh issues from an open door and coffee for the Senior girls is being served in Teacher Agnes Finnie's room. The wit and humor of her sparkling conversation broke the monotony of many dull Sunday after' noons . . . Voila la belle dame avec merci-who else but Teacher Olive? . . . Master George helped the uninitiated dabble in paints under the name of Art . . . Master Lou came striding down the hall, told the boys to be good and then went out for a Six snappy game of tennis . . . Teacher Ruth replaced Teacher Sally who left us when her ship came in . . . Another newcomer, Teacher Libby, could be found in the biology lab. or smiling C.C. into run' ning the way it should . . . Thomas L'Pardon My Eyebrow Brown, the answer to all vitamin ads, rushed back and forth with his limitless energy keeping the Work Program going, playing nurse' maid to the Senior Class, and spouting Virgil . . . Tap, tap, tap-the heel of Teacher Rachelv- and all the girls assume angelic expressions . . . Bert Bailey solemnly pronounced Biblical truths to First Class . . . Seen an amazed expression on a Senior's face lately? Doubtless he's just heard Master Jo speaking German, which happens to be his native tongue . . . Teacher Elma flew about ruining stu' dents' hopes that the exam proctor wouldn't show up, and advising Seniors on College Boards, class standing, and chances for future happiness in life by acceptance to THE college. . . . Master Bob English, a new addition to West- town, served well as a studentffaculty liason. He is in a way of becoming famous for his informal Senior sociology classes. That all those differences could be harnessed in Days j a corporate effort is the proof of the pudding. It was an excited and expectant audience that filed into the auditorium for the performance of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion Polly Alden, an Eng' lish girl herself, was cast as Eliza Doolittle, the Lon' don flowerfgirl, who is taken from the gutter by Higf gins fMaster Harryj, a selffcentered professor of phonetics, and his friend Colonel Pickering fMaster Bobj. These two taught Eliza to be a fine lady. Her father, Mr. Doolittle, a dustman disclassed by for- tune, was portrayed very effectively by Master Al Hay. Teacher Agnes Thomas had the part of Higf gins' perfect mother by whom he judged all other specimens of femininity. Master Bernie and Agnes Finnie shared the burden of the direction of the play, which was acclaimed by all to be a huge suc' cess, and a credit to the acting ability of all who participated. The faculty's acting, however, was not confined to this one play. As usual, Master Bert and Master Bernie made several hilarious appearances during the year. Once, by an ingenious juggling of head gear, the two of them took parts of all the characf ters in a melodrama which, as we will recall, conf cerned poor Nelly. Not satisfied to be merely known as actors, the faculty was well represented in the field of athletics. Master Lou stretched his legs down the hockey field in the SchoolfFaculty game much to the amuse' ment of spectators. T. S. B. bounced the ball on his stick, and later introduced field ball, found by the first players to be mostly mudfball. Colonel set liaclq Row: S. Wsiy, F. Swan, H. Price, D. Thomas. Tliml Row: G.

Even Teacher Gladys who hadnt heen on skates in years turned up at the lake when the ice was in its prime . . . Although there were few, if any, that could maintain the furious pace set hy Master Tom, hoth teachers and masters lastly proved their power as hikers in the heautiful autumn and spring days. On Tuesday nights, Faculty meetings were the scenes of discussion and dehate of many and routine as well as weighty questions. Nothing concerning the welfare of the student hody was too insignificant Seven to rate other than full consideration. The controf versial social system tried them time and again. A new and more liheral scheme was adopted this fall, which raised many prolwlems as new systems do, and the handling of these involved great care. This is our faculty, the hands at the wheel. They the stahilizing and permanent quality, the last' are ing part of our school. They know our hopes and our fearsg they guide our destinies. Both indivif dually and collectively we truly respect and have for them deepest affection. Nobody Knows the Trouble Pvc Seen THE QUALITY which marked the leaders of both ends of the House this year was the unusual conf ccrn they had for the problems of representative government at Wcsttown. Mart Hoag at West End and Gordon Kennedy at East End both felt that the respective councils should be helped by active student participation in their government, and should not function merely as disciplinary bodies. Mart urged attendance at open council meetings and Gordon was as eager for suggestions from the boys. Because of the concern of our Student Body Presidents for making our form of government as Eight similar to ideal democracy as is possible, they have put a new spirit of selffdirection and individual responsibility into the student body. This has been shown by the interest taken in open council meet' ings and by the many constructive ideas which have come out of them. The Steering Committee for afterfdinner socials and the occasional evenings of social dancing are but two of the many innovations introduced this year by the FacultyfStudent Social Committee on which Mztrt and Gordon played an active part. Their contribution in opening new fields of cooperative effort will always be a source of pride to their classmates. 've Got My Eyes On You THIS YliAR,S student councils have accomplished a great deal in the ever important task of cementing studentfteacher relationships. Witli a minimum at' tention to disciplinary prohlems, the girls' council applied themselves to more constructive ideas. Open council meetings were held to promote hetter under' standing on the part of the students toward council proceedings, and to facilitate the councills appreciaf tion of student opinion. The hoys' council introduced the new system of having a hoy elected memher every six weeks to serve that length of time. This rotating system gave a Nine M. Hoag, C. Wlxittlesey, M Noyes, E.

Coney. larger number of hoys the opportunity to learn what went on hehind the closed doors, and at the same time gave them a share of the responsihility of self' government. Operating jointly, the councils tackled the prohlcm of social relationships. In an attempt to create a a more natural social atmosphere, the Steering Com' mittee was appointed to provide the evenings' enter' tainments. The variety of activities they sponsored encouraged participation hy everyone in the social life of the school. T. Brown, G. Kennedy, A. . J- i . NN uw f B. Harrison, R. Hill Back Row: M. Sayre, B.

All the Things You Are ALTHOUGH THERE was much talk about abolish- ing Delta this year. it was decided to keep it, but to do away with special privileges formerly enjoyed. Mart Hoag, S.B.P. this year, and Betsy Vinieratos, Senior Council member, were received into the society last year while Nan Rohrbough, Council vicefpresident, Marg Sayre, class vicefpresident, Anne Cooper, AMICUS editor, and Stuie Cooper, A.A. president, did not become members until this year. The girls are elected not only because of the number of ways in which they have served West' Ten town, but also because of their good characters and general attitude. The lone Senior member of Triangle this year was Rolla Hill, editor of the Brown and White. The other member was First Classman, Bart Harrison, who was very active in sports and who had a very high average of school work. Although Bill Eiseman resigned from the society in January, the others def cided to continue since the faculty does not wish either of the honor societies to discontinue.

Council was supplemented by First Class Twelve members Anna Whitson, Pete Coney, Ellen Uhrf brock, Phil Llerandi, and Margaret Noyes. Chairf man Sallie Coleman got to work on the ring and pin arrangements, and the committee appointed chose the design for the class jewelry. The year 19454946 found the class of '47 well represented in all activities: soccer, hockey, swim' ming, basketball and the other varsities drew heavily from their ranks for the outstanding players. Two of their class, Nancy Strickland and Pete Coney, helped anxious spectators cheer the squads on to victory. Mixed Chorus and Glec Club claimed many, while joannie Nevitt, Jim Russell, and Bill Rhoads step' ped forth as directors when the One Act Plays came around. Top award in the Short Story Contest was won by another of the gang, Alice Cruikshank. With Mary Tower as its head, the work program has done great things this year and the Brown and White is another organization which has profited from the hard work of '47ers on the staff. In spite of all the time spent on these activities, they still had time for work on dance committees and other social affairs. In joint Assemblies, they did everything from yodeling in German to skiing on sawdust. Most important in extracurricular events, however, were the class parties. In the Casino, at Hallowe'en, they revelled passing life' savers around on a straw, diving for shoes, and hunt' ing partners in the tangled mass of humanity. The next class party, in january, saw everyone at the Back Row: N. McClure, I Wilbur, A. Cruikshank, M. Harnwell, N. Bailey, K. Mil ler, I... Winslow, P. Wood H. Raiford, B. Parker, A Ivins, P.

Next in import' ance were the dances with the Seniors and the Sun' day night suppers at Master jamesf Though what happened outside the classroom will perhaps be remembered most vividly, the hours spent there will not be forgotten. There were these jokes of Master johns from the Friends' Intellif gencer, the Latin verbs, and French vocab to be ref cited, not to mention German grammar. Everyone tried to understand the Bible sheets and at the end of the year, they were beginning to see the light. That the class has bright people can easily be seen when the Honor Roll is examinedg homework was not neglected. To sum up, it was a good year, a year in which the class of '47 showed the spirit and the talent within its ranks. If they repeat their success of the past terms, they will have an even better Senior yearg they are wellfprepared for it. Thirteen 1 I ' fa-4.16 , ,kC'h. e.Z1f4't fa- I l 47' 5' '15 ,.

The hoard, including also intramural captains and team managers, decided to close the shaeks, instead of opening them, with the annual Friday night party. The weather is more agreeahlc in the late spring, It was recommended to next year's A.A. that the system of awarding letters he changed, so that the G. Forsythe, T. Dew, T. Fisher, A. Marshall, G.

Ed James headed the hoys' A.A. hoard, including Dick Murray, Tom Dew, Garrett Forsythe, George Owens, and Tom Fisher. Colonel, as usual, did most of the work connected with athletics, hut this year for the Hrst time the hoard's hooks were kept hy treasurer, Tom Dew. Elections for the new hoards will he held in time for them to help arrange the A.A. hanquet. Forlyftruo 13305 1 J JI T u 1 j 1 . 5.

The varsity forwards were kept on their toes hy the constant changes in the linefup, hut the names, Alice, Mart, Cenza, Wee, and Dehhy were most often seen at the top of the chart of players posted hy Coach Sally Kratz on the A.A. hulletin hoard hefore each game. Ann Mifflin, petite and speedy left half, was elected captain. Her hackfield remained almost conf stant throughout the season, with Sally Ncnners and Anne Cooper's long drives at fullfhaek attempt' ing to keep Edgar or Taylor, Irishfjigging hctween the goal posts, from husiness. At practice the familiar cry, Go to meet it, take it with you, and . . . PASS! echoed and refechoed as the hall shot hack and forth. Whistle , . . Cenza, at center forward, hullies, takes the hall down the field and drives a Colafemina special. It's a goal, thirty second play, this time made hy the team's high scorer, in spite of having participated in only four games. When Cenza was indisposed with pneumonia, Deh Welsh moved from right half to center forward, and Stuie Cooper took over her position with Cretel Reinhold as center half. Mart Hoag scored second highest numher of points. 'Poe-lr The first two games of the season, against Wil- mington and Ivloorestown Friends, showed good team work hut a lack of push in the second half. Wilmington won 9f4, although the first inning score' was 4fO our favor. Nancy Ivlarston scored six of the goals, hut this year not for Westtown. The Moores town team managed to tie the score 4f4 and the hnal whistle hlew hefore either team could tally again. Friends' Central left the field with a Sfl lead and Swarthmore with three points to Westtown's goose egg. The team still kept their spirit even though tied hy Tower Hill and defeated hy the archfrival, George School 40. The alumnae game halted at lfl and Sanford Prep wound up the season hy scoring two goals to Westtown's one. The hest games were against the faculty and the hoys' soccer varsity. Except for a few foothall tackles and an occasional friendly trip, the hoys did very well. The faculty too showed an amazing amount of skill. We won't soon forget the masters' hall' houneing technique which won the game for their team. In fact, we won't soon forget any part of the fun and spirit of this hockey season, which is always the most valuahle part of an athletic season at Westtown. i Practice Makes Perfect Wag ggi-Hg Mmm c5,,...u.seA. -lw Ruse. us. etnciwkxex-e Til Q-X-ll h,'9Q,rno,,-k-ox-eLuv-n'eeX00..C,k., Ciba- 'S l Q. ees and MJ:- ....

I Get a Kick Out of You THE 1945 Flaccusmen got off to a fast start in spite of an apparent lack of material, downing Haverford School and West Philly by 3f2 and 6fO scores before bowing to Select, 1fO. After that loss, the team wised up under the leadership of Captain Dick Murray and came back to finish the season with a record of six wins, four losses and one tie. The illness which overcame some of the varsity boys did not affect Second Team who kept up the good work by taking over and conquering Kennett Square Varsity, 1fO and tying Haverford High, 1f1 on a very wet Held. Penn Charter was the next victim, 4f3, then Germantown Boys' Club, 3f0. George School handed us our second setback on a last' minute goal, 3f2, while North Catholic and Girard gave the team its final lacings by 3fO and 1fO scores. For a while, the Girard game went in Westtown's favor, but they finally slipped through a goal, The season ended with the Alumni game which gave us a tough workout but after two overtimes, the boys came through on the long end of a 4f2 score. The team took some time to get into the swing of things, overcoming the first two clubs they met by sheer power. After the various members began to click as a team, the line furnished most of the scoring punch with Sharpless' speed, Murray's and Lleran- di's tricky dribbling and Dew's power accounting for eighteen of the homster's twentyffour points. Halfbacks George Owens, Bill Eiseman, and Bob Sutton did a bangfup job of feeding the line with the essential passes, while Eiseman and Sutton also sank a couple of payfdirt balls. With Josie Cowperthwait in the goal and Tom Fisher, John Dowlin and Bart Harrison as fullfbacks, the op' ponents had a hard time scoring. The extra full' back presented a surprise obstacle to the opposition and many of Westtown's goals, early in the game, can be attributed to this factor. Chris Nicholson, Alan Marshall, and Garrett Forsythe deserve honorf able mention for their readiness as subs when the going got rough. Fortyffour Huck Row: lf, Swan, D. Toni' linson, A. Vifinsor, R.

Scoring was kept at a minimum and our team showed up splendidly although losing hy four points, 62. Thus encouragf ed, the varsity worked itself into an outstanding team. Among those most frequently on the starting linefup were Cenza Colafemina, Betsy Vinieratos, Uretcl Reinhold, Jimmy James, Mzirt Hoag, Sally Nenner, Ann lvlifllin, Nance Dewees, and Stuie Cooper.

The ahsence of Hartley Harrison was felt, hut Evan Sharpless was ready and waiting to take over the mound duties. Among the returning lettcrmen were Captain Budd Cowperthwaite in the receiving slot and Don Matlack at the keystone sack. Tom Dew and john Dowlin held down center and right fields respectively and Bill Eiseman was hack at his short' stop duties. Several rookies made themselves availahle, jim Fowler heing the outstanding candidate for first hase, while jim Forsythe and Joe Yamamoto vicd for the hot corner assignment. It looked as though Chris Nicholson might get the remaining outfield positiong others came out who will he ready to increase the prospects for a good season next year. With two days of practice under their belts, the local .halftmeii headed for West Chester, only to take in stride an extra inning 4f3 downing. Three of the opposition's runs came on errors the Raifordmen, hut in spite of this, it was a godd opening game.pnd the outlook was fairly hright for a good season.

Coney and Dave Westerzi were outstanding distance runners and Evan Sharplcss was the numher one dash man.

THE PUXVER of the press is felt throughout the worldg there are indeed few localities not under the influence of the printed word, even Westtown has its own Brown and White. The role of the tra' ditional harassed editorfinfchief was played by Rolla Hill who, true to form, wore his hair down to his eyes and constantly demanded: Where's that article I assigned last week? or How are we meant to get a paper out on time if that layout isn't done? However. he probably didn't lead such a rough life for the burden was shared by his assistant editor, Skipper Wolfe. She, in turn, was very generous in seeing that Tom Forsythe, Randy Knoblauch, and Bet Shapiro fothcrwise known as associate editorsl did not suffer from the sin of idleness. It could hardly be reckoned a successful year had not some new offices been created. Betty Robb rose from Headline Writer to Rewrite Editor, leaving Bart Harrison and Lea Hunter to take over the headlining. How big a head does this thing have anyway? was the cry of these willing laborers. Tom Dew and Marg Sayre attempted to run a sport page and did very wcll at it. Their hearts were per' petually filled with anxiety that the measles or bad weather would cause the cancellation of so many events that the Bee and Dub's third page would conf sist only of filler from the regular news section. Pat White fbecause he's such a smooth talker, handled the ads while joe Morris and Stuie Cooper managed the mailing department. Come down and fold B E5 W's in room 8, please! was the bifweekly cry. Like all other newspapers, the Brown and White had a few policies on hand, the foremost of which was to make the paper more interesting and easy to read. For this, the B Ei W, in cooperation with the AMICUS, sponsored the Slick Click Contest which resulted in three prizefwinning pictures being printed in the paper. Samples of the general trend of student thought were taken through the Institute of Student Opinion, more pictures were printed, the regular newsprint paper started last year was conf tinued. In the editorials and the columns of the S.B.P.'s current school problems were discussed. The struggling young journalists were somehow able to keep the circulation up to par, for is there one among all those interested in Westtown fand they number manyj who is not familiar with the Brown and White? It is a paper which the school is proud to have. Fiftyffour UH, THE WORK program, synonomous, we some' times think with the essence of chaos! In the he' ginning of the year, we returned hopeful from our vacations hut it hegan with the usual disorder on the part of new students who didn't know how to do their johs and old students who had forgotten. Where's the tool closet? Isn't this hroom clean enough? Where do you put the sugar? Then we caught on: Beep, heepg its not a jeep, just a three tier truck. Hey, look out Susie, here I come! No, let me get seconds, I want to go to the kitchen. fWho is your friend on the serving crew?j That's the way it went in the dining room, CC. was a different story. No corn to husk this yearg 'Lsorry hoys, no red ears. No apples either: Colonells schedule was upset hecause we didn't have a work day in the fall. QHow about a holiday instead?j However, there were plenty of heans in the patch behind Master james' house. Hey you guys, we're picking heans, not socializing. Uoint crews don't work., Eventually the novelty wore off, there were new reactions: My gosh, I've got a work joh now! No, I'd rather not he captain of the afterfdinner crew. I perceive a dirty dish, did you say you're on the afterfhreakfast dish washing crew? But if there was sometimes confusion on this end, the official end of things had double its share. The weekfend runners had their troubles: Where is everyhody? Whci's captain of this crew? None of the lwoys are here. The Wcirk Program Committee meetings were for the express purpose of making matters more orderly. With the start of the new schedule, there was no time for a getftogetherg consequently, Master Tom, the originator and head man of the Program, arf ranged to have a special tahle for the committee during lunch on Wediiesdays to talk things over. Teacher Lihhy took care of the johs lor Girls' End. and with the help of Mary Tower, girls' head, caught on to her new joh very rapidly. Tom Forsythe was hoys' head and also did a very good joh of running things. With the cooperation of the whole school and committee, we managed to eat all year and keep the huildings neat and clean.

Ring the Merry Bells On Board Ship THEY SAY that every operetta will he the last, hut every one gets past this crisis. This year's production of H.M.S. Pinaforem, ahly directed by Teacher Margaret and Master Bernie, more than hore out the tradition hy having at least three crises, hut at the last minute it was decided that john Alden did not have the measles, and the chorus was finally ahle to keep sad and solemn during the tense moments. Eventually the girls did learn to flirt with the sailors while ugaily tripping, slightly skipping around the extended stage, which creaked and swayed to the alarm of singers and listeners alike. The words and music were actually learned, although three days he' fore the fateful night Teacher Margaret Thorpe ref marked that they sounded more like Donald Duck than anything else. By then frequenters of the Lihrary knew most of the operetta hy heart and people who didn't take advantage of those acoustics heard the favorites, 'Tm Call Little Buttercup, Farewell My Own, I Am the Monarch of the Sea sung on the dormitories which consoled every' one in some measure for giving up date times. The story revolves around certain events which take place ahoard 'kH.M.S. Pinaforef' concerning itself mainly with uThe Lass that Loved a Sailor. The ship is flattered with a visit from Sir Joseph Porter fTom Fisherj, but his main ohjeet is a sentif mental interest, not in the ship, hut in Josephine fNan Rohrhoughj, the beautiful daughter of Capf tain Corcoran, Garrett Forsythe had this role well in hand. However, Sir Joseph is subsequently pained to learn that Josephine is loved hy Ralph Rackstravv, who is hy his own admission the most gallant fore' mast hand in all the Navy. But he is still a foremast Filftvfsix hand and therefore unworthy to Seek the captains daughter in marriage. Unhappily Josephine returns the affections of our young hero, who is none other than showfstealer, Nelson Jenkins. But, as the ho's'n fJohn AldenJ points out in his deep hass voice, Ralph is an Englishman and an Englishman is the equal of any man, Josephine agrees to elope with him, aided hy the sailors and Hehe fBetsy VinieratosJ, who is Sir JoSeph's cousin. The only hitch in the matter is Dick Deadeye fBoh MeQuistonJ who tells all to Captain Corcoran, and so excites him that he lets himself he carried away to the extent of uttering Damme! Sir Joseph hears this ohjectionahlc word and sends him off in disgrace. He is soon as pained and surprised at Ralph as he had heen at Corcoran when he discovers that the tar has planned to elope with Josephine, whom he himself has honored hy seeking in marriage. Ralph is led off to his dungeon cell after a touching fare' well scene with Josephine, hut suddenly Bumfhoat Buttercup fDeh WelshJ confesses her awful secret and discloses that she had exchanged Ralph and the Captain in the cradle. This electrifying admission makes it impossihle for Sir Joseph to marry Josephine, now a common sailors daughter, and since Ralph is now the Captain, he is ahle to marry the lass, As the operetta ends to our joy and rapture, quite unforeseen we find Ralph emhracing Josephine, Sir Joseph with his devoted Hehe, and Corcoran and Little Buttercup, who had long had a notfsofsecret passion for him. The operetta was the major project of Mixed Chorus this year and according to all who saw and heard it, it was a very good undertaking, Back Row: Fowler, P. White, G. Owens, P. Edgerton, N.

Fiftyfscvcn s Anfter the Ball Is Over AI- l'ER STRENUUUS rehearsals from Novemlver 5 until the night of the performance on Deeemher 1, the Senior Class presented Pride cmd Prejudice. The play eenters around the determination of Mrs. Bennett fNaney Rostronj to get her daughters marf ried. jane fDehorah Brownj, Elizaheth QKay Kurtl, and Lydia Qsloyee Batteyj, lived in a period when the only career open to a woman was marriageg this explains why Charlotte Lucas QSunny Hiekmanj was eager to aeeept Elizaheths rejected suitor, Mr. Collins fBolw MeQuistonj, an ingratiating gentle' man under the patronage of Lady Kathrine de Bourgh QEleanor Wciiidj. The arrival of two eligihle young men, Bingley tDirk Glysteenj and Darey fRolla Hillj, provides .lane and Elizaheth with hushands while Lydia elopes with the dashing Mr. Wiekhaini QGordon Kennedy? after a hall whieh is a major part of her mother's strategy. Thus, Mrs. Bennett has her dreams ful' filled hut this has not heen aeeomplished without diflieulties and eomplieations in the form of Mrs. Lueas fMary Murrowj, Lady Kathrine de Bourgh, and Miss Bingley Uean Wrightj. Throughout the play, Mr. Bennett fDalton .lamesj remains ealm and eolleeted, spending most of his time soothing his flustered wife. Highlights of the play were the hlown fuse which threatened us with a fire falthough few knew itl, and Dalton's difficulties in pronouncing entail Betsy with her everfready powder puff and Nan poised with needle and thread to repair any damage, will hoth he rememhered as indispensable haekstage helpers. lizityciglit Let's Just Pretend AI,l'11111'1911 th1'1't' xx'.1s 1111 t'1111t1'st this Vtltl' tl Sl!'t'Qll tl1'z1l til' ctftirt xx'.1s put i11t11 thu Qlllt' Att lll.1's 1111tl thu' xvcrc ciiitiwtl :is 3 3 , Iltllfll hy tht- .1t't111's, t'11st11111t'1's, st.1g1' ciww .1111l Il11lliU'Kll1 1'1i111111ittt'u 41s hy tht- 4111tliu11cc.

Just Say That Pm a Friend of Yours THURSDAY NIGHT at nineftwenty P.M., a little white piece of paper floated in front of a pair of tired eyes. It read: Assignment Card, the subject was Amicus, 350 words due on Friday, signed Sunny. As you see, the article was handed in on time. It was then checked by Sunny Hickman, head of Writers Staff, and gone over by Teacher Dot, faculty advisor, for spelling and grammatical errors. Finally, it was submitted to Anne Cooper, our editorfinfchief, who made the last changes. One by one, other articles were written and added to the growing yearbook. At Characteristics meeting, Johnny Segal, the chairman. would open with the remark: Well, we're half done and we have two weeks in which to finish. Thus encouraged, the cat sessions began and at last, after the final pun had been worn through and through, the exhausted committee turned in to Coop the completed product. There is no rest for the weary, however, for the job of thinking up stunts for Characteristics Night was yet to be tackled: Come on now, think! roared Johnny. When you Sixty think of so and so, what do you remember? Silence follows. Bill Eiseman and Coop were seen together after supper almost every Tuesday night, working on the makefup of the dummy flegally of coursej. Bill, the dollarfminded executive, signed the checks and car' ried out his job of business manager with proper efficiency. Eleanor Wood, assistant editor and the editor's righthand woman, did everything from past- ing informal snapshots to taking copy into the printer. Kris Platt and Alan Marshall took care of photography and once in a while could be seen drag' ging the photographer around the halls. Pictures schedules were posted and some people actually got there on time. Once there they heard Kris tell them to smile now. Dalton James used his Midas touch to rake in advertising money. So it went, on into the final week's rush when the slurp pages were put together at last and the articles titled and sent off. Our Amicus is ready now and we leave it to the circulation managers, Harriett Washburn and Kirby Dawson. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we had in making it for you. Thanks for the Memory IN 1934, it would have been difficult to imagine the present class of 1946. Ellen Townsend, Cenza Colafemina, and Bob Stanton were the nucleus of our present number of eighty. During the next few years, our ranks were doubled with the addif tion of Pat White, jo Gilmore, and Sally Squires. Down in Lane School, the time when we would grow up to take our place with previous Westtown classes as dignihed Seniors seemed very remote. In our Third Class year, when our goal was not so far distant, the favorite occupation was putting alarm clocks in desks, and our shiking record reached phenomenal heights. The latter attribute of '46 was more or less done away with by a collection room windowfwashing project, but the habit of being at the wrong place at the wrong time was already established. Master Harrie's history class contributed two nicknames: Sally became known as Nennerfnenner because of her propensity for reiteration, and Kit was called Guillotine by a subtle transformation of Gilbert, her first name. Rolla was little, round, rolyfpoly Rolla, but he had already shown his talent at the keyboard by accompanying our junior High Program. We also labored half a year under Master Bernie to prof duce our thirty minute radio show: The House of Usher. 3' S S Sixtyfone X Second Class brought a batch of strangers but they soon learned that South Side is to be desired, that shiking should be done quietly, and that it is impossible to decide between New Jersey and the rest of the world. We laid the groundwork for future athletic prowess, Coop, Mart, Marg, and triplefthreat Debby represented us on the various varsity squads and teams, not to mention our Swarthmore miniature, Mif, and Stuie of Merchantville. On the boys' basketball squad were Tom Fisher, Bill Eiseman, and Tom Dew. Our dances were amazing affairs as we revolved around Casino posts, thrilled to be able to stay up that extra halffhour. First Class year saw newcomers added to our number. They too were quickly assimilated until they could argue the respective qualities of Florida and California oranges with the best of us. We persuaded ourselves that we were quite witty Qjokes from Daltonj, and strove to keep up the selffperpetrated legend although there were ref marks made that we should serve butter with our corn. With George and Mart leading us, we went through a number of new experiences. One of those which the whole class did not have to suffer ffortunately for themj was the Scholastic Aptitude Test, a very serious business since we were the selected, not the selectors as to the question of college. Although we missed the Class Day dance in June and did not receive our rings and pins on the day designated, we hore up under these disf appointments well. We decided that it wouldn't be the same when we were Seniors since we would have our quota of bad luck. So it went through all the years, the good and bad times, until we reached our cherished goal, being Seniors. Then, we discovered that we weren't so anxious to be top members of the school when it was our last year here, even though we enjoyed the privileges of studying in our rooms, and sitting on the side benches in the Collecting Room. Def spite the sadness at leaving, we will remember our years here as the most happy of our lives. Our history concerns our class officers, our class room accomplishments, our fun on the stage, and athletic field but most of all it is the story of our growth and final development as the class of '46. A MESSAGE FROM Zpfze yaaren fs' 601112017 0 U O You are the first post-war class, You face, therefore, the be- wildering array of problems which are the aftermath of struggle and bloodshed, Colleges will be crowded and many of your fellow students there will have experienced first hand the way of force. We hope that Westtown has not only stimulated you intellec- tually, but by enabling you to live and work with classmates from different places, and with varied backgrounds, has shown you the path of cooperative effort, The world needs the same kind of give and take re- auired to get along with a room-mate, only in larger measure. Sympathy understanding, patience and good-will, these are the principles for success in any task where people labor to build a better environment, We shall follow your development with pride and affection, As your experience broadens, may you grow in power to assume your full responsibility in the perplexing world now upon us, a world that can be saved from destruction by men and women who are intelligently religious in thought and word and deed.

O., New York On Indian Lake in the Adirondack Mountains GOLDEN WEDDING Grow old along with meg The best is yet to be. This is the voice of Back Log Camp speaking through the poet. The Brown family, of West' town School near Pliilaclclphia, married Back Log Camp fifty years ago last summer. It has proved a happy marriage and both parties are still hale and hearty. It may be said of Back Log what Shakes' peare said of Cleopatra: Age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety. Back Log has been a family camp in more senses than one. The first group of Philadelphians that witnessed the wedding at Agnes Island, near Hulett's Landing on Lake George in 1896, followed the peregrinations of the Camp to Thirteenth Lake, Raquette Lake, and hnally in 1912 to Indian Lake. Not that they all came, but the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of some did so, just as the great grandchildren of the founder. Thomas K. Brown, are a lively part of the present Back Log scene. Back Log Camp was founded to run the woods. It still runs the woods. The family and the Camp are starting boldly on the path to a Diamond anniversary and they invite you to walk part of the way with them. For illustrated booklet write to Carroll T. Brown or Thomas S.
