This donkey, whom we shall call 49 , loved us at first sight and decided to spend his loofh anniversary year with the 49ers. As a true member of the class he was given a schedule, attended classes, and received his monthly marks. 49 was ingenious but wrong with Cac, but broke test tubes in Chemistry, and took out half sheets of paper for Master Al. No phase of school life escaped his inquisitive gaze as he joined committee meetings, bull sessions, p.j. parties, and play rehearsals. Those long ears heard Westtown's 44 bells a day, the drone of recitations, the in- evitable 95O Club, and the vie in the Casino. His ungainly legs and long tail got in the way as he tried to waltz, to boot long kicks on the soccer field, and to sprint down the hall to dinner. Work Program welcomed -49 with open arms, for his long tail reached all the nooks and crannies overlooked by the hard-Work- ing students. Even his voice was a boon to our year. His raucous tenor could be clearly heard at all pep rallies, in hymn singing at vespers, and was a definite standout in the Operetta. A sentimentalist at heart, 49 religiously kept a diarv of the many little things that happen each day. And when he left, we took the liberty of publishing this, his scrapbook, because it de- picted our year-1949. Wadi if sfafn we 5 'f-55?

First impressions for most of us are his signatures on friendly letters to prospective students and his way of always finding time to take visitors on tours of the campus personally. The more we know of the school, the more we see his influence working, in ways quiet and unobtrusive, and not often even noticeable, to keep our standards high and our spirit one of co-operation, com- radeship, and faith. Westtown is fortunate indeed to have a head- master so tolerant and understanding as its guide through these years of uncertainty and change. Teacher Rachel, our small but powerful Girls' Dean, is re- nowned for her Scotch Plaid wit and tactful persuasiveness, as she invites students to attend Meeting and joint Collection. Her job is a hard one, for we often fail to realize that our rules and regulations are for our own benefit. But she offers valid rea- sons for all the rules that exist and is always ready to change them when she is convinced that it is for the better. Her personal interest in each girl is greatly appreciated, as is her kind guid- ance in helping us to develop into better citizens of Westtown and the world. Master Bob English has won the respect and affection of Boys' End with his capable and enlightened administration of the difli- cult duties of Boys' Dean. His ready grin, which is very seldom hardened by his official capacity, is a fixture on the dorm, while his barnyard anecdotes and natural sense of humor keep things lively when morale falls low. Many will remember him best for the frequent bull sessions he conducted to bring greater understanding to any who wished to take part. His liberal outlook, however, is what perhaps brings him closest to the boys, who admire and ap- preciate his efforts to make helpful improvements. ,. .1 Y ei , b - ..,, , 4 5 4 'Q' Y I 5 . , .,., as r ww.V -5-::::a::5a5sg:gs:::g.s-.N if' 1: ' 1'-11251.

We complained at the rulesg we were heard out. We asked for better thingsg we were given them.

They have given their precious time to make hobby night a success. They have entertained us, worked with us, played with us, and taught us the right way to live the right kind of life. We maintain that if these teachings have reached some of us, or even just one of us, their work will be well done. The great gift of knowledge, priceless beyond measure, which is theirs to impart has been ours to receive here at Westtown. May we do with this gift as they would have us, for whatever we are, we owe to them, and whatever we become, the tribute is theirs. 1 ,S N fax 'W if 5 2 ' ..

' At the helm of the Student Councils, DorothyPerkins and David Richie have without doubt kept the ship of '49 on as even a keel as possible. The very nature of their position, that of governing, places them at the mercy of the discontented few, but they have clearly shown us that by understanding care and patience, these differences can be easily ironed out. We owe to them our most sincere thanks for seeing through this tough assignment, for al- ways trying to be open-minded, yet firmg and for helping to make this year at Westtown one of the best. Last year Kansas' contribution to Westtown, in the form of a student whose abilities were soon realized, was Dot Perkins. These abilities placed her in the foremost position at Girls' End. As S.B.P., Dot is the occupant of the traditional room on South side, and we hear her Mid-western twang on the dorm as well as in Collection, where she announces new privileges as well as correcting us for the misuse of those we already have. Dot's active interest in sports has placed her on several varsities, making her a valuable person at Westtown in extra-curricular activities as well as in her ordinary capacity as a fine student. Dave came to Westtown in his Sophomore yearfrom West Chester junior High, and has since proved his abilities in practically all fields. He has earned varsities in soccer, basketball and baseball, while showing plenty of public appeal in his election to the top position of Student Body President. Perhaps one reason for Dave's tendency to procrastinate is that he is always willing to stop and discuss our many problems, and never quits until his job is well done.

E 9 , 6 ' The Boys' Council has had time this year for considering and executing constructive ideas as well as the usual disciplinary problems. Council has carried ideas such as invigagign-less meal pers and the formation ofa student-faculty committee for arranging Saturday-night programs to the faculty, as well as more material- istic projects which resulted in additions like the coffee pots and hot plate in the parlors, and the floor charts on each floor. Boys' Council, in collaboration with Girls' Council, put on the Christmas Dance, and entertained the George School delegates visiting Westtown in March, in addition to the usual council feeds. There have been two important changes in the ordinary council functions this year. Early in the -fall a plebescite of the boys was taken,resulting in the faculty's sole jurisdiction over the smoking problem, excluding it from council's list of disciplinary responsi- bilities. Also this year, a new system of having rotating second class members until mid-year elections was put into effect. Mid- year elections were held again this year,folloWing the plan formu- lated last year, making the council, with the exception of the Student Body President and Chief Proctor, subject to change. Several replacements were made. Standing Katharine Gregory, Mary Varian, Elizabeth Wright, Christine deKiewiet, Sylvia Perera Seated Ann Hutchison, Dorothy Perkins, Rachel K. Letchworth: Advisor, Jane Carpenter F 60:54 ' If you want to know what's gone on behind the Iron Curtain of Girls' Council this year, just ask anyone who has had detention too often or been confined to campus for two week s. But the drud- gery of discipline was largely replaced in favor of more con- structive accomplishments. Council supplied most school com- mittees with members, since nominations for almost every job were generally found on the weekly agenda. Although Perky, Kacky, Hutch and Janie enjoyed those Satur- day trips to West Chester on which they chaperoned other students, even they heaved a sigh of relief when Council granted two West Chester pers a month to each girl. Council turned socially minded when it opened Westtown's gates and served as hosts in collaboration with Boys' Council to the George School delegates. Many new ideas for Council activi- ties were discussed in that fun-filled weekend. And the Christmas Dance owes thanks to Perky, Dave and the rest of the Council with the help of the school's artists on decorating. And never let it be said, Frailty, thy name is woman. The Girls' Council undertook to clean up the Arboritum for the 150th Anniversary weekend. So Council carries on, admonishing the wayward and trying to clear the path for next year's Council and student body. Standlnq Robert Nevitt, Frederic Bell, Betty Ann Furnas.

Among its activities, the group sponsored social dancing, co-ed volley ball, and square dance jamborees, while once in a while a big show would be produced. The best of these were an amateur show, a White Elephant auction, and It Pays To Be Ignorant, an extravaganza in which student bright lights acted natural to the amuse- ment of the crowd. The committee's successful sidelight was the Canteen, in which the casino was utilized on a number of Saturday aftemoons for informal dancing and games, where the girls drank Bofsto beverages and the East-enders sampled the confections of the girl's A.A. store. The goal of this Saturday afternoon activity is to develop the casino into a student lounge where Westonians of the future may congregate in the evenings.

Headed byr Ruth Harvey and Wistar Comfort, this group planned the religious activity of the school. During the year they have sponsored intervisitation with other meetings and churches. Classical music was enjoyed in South Room after Sunday Meeting throughout the year under jim Colby's super- vision. Five interested committee members attended a conference at Penn Charter where they discussed various pertinent questions with other students. A suggestion box in Central at the beginning of the year was responsible for many helpful revisions, which helped make this such a successful year. Standing I-larry Allen, Advisors: Charles K.

' ' we This year the Service Committee, headed by Carol Hogg at girls' end and Dick Simon at boys' end, has been very successful. Other members were Helen Noyes, Alice Hoag, Marshall Severance, and Harry Allen, Master Charlie and Teacher Agnes Thomas being faculty advisors. The relationship between Ommen and Westtown was extended with both students and faculty corresponding, and several articles needed there were sent to them. A new type of Christmas Project was developed this year, the Christmas Fund was modeled after the Red Feather Campaigns, except ours was the White Feather Drive, the white feather denoting peace. The students and faculty were divided into twelve groups, creating a feeling of competition, thus we were able to raise approximately five hundred dollars. This sum was divided between the American Friends Service Committee and the Friends' School in Tokyo, which was destroyed during the war. The boys chopped and de- livered three truckloads of wood to nine needy families in West Chester while the girls knitted garments. We also helped furnish a community house in West Chester, which desperately needed games and magazines. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this such a profitable year! f X Ummea At 7200 the school gathered in the auditorium to 'hear Master Tom Brown tell us about his Holland visit to Ommen. Some of its history and many of its characteristics today were talked about. Located in an old castle still owned by someone else, the school offers different problems than we are used to. Although Ommen is far away, Master Tom made us realize that the people were very much like us, and in this way tried to bring us closer together. At 7:30 the group disbanded and scattered all over Westtown. In Bacon Cottage the decorating of napkins and towels was pro- gressing beside art sketching for the scrapbook. From downstairs came the smell of citrus fruit candy. At the other end of the campus Limericks were being writteng and upon coming closer, freshly made glace'nuts and peanut brittle could be seen. Knitting continued up the lane until an afghan was completed. Date-stuffing, nut-cracking and taify-pulling went on in other homes. Around the main building, pictures were cut out for the scrap- books and blotters decorated with scenes of American life.Ommen stationery was printed and shoe polishers of leather and wool were made in the basement, towel-hemming went on upstairs, and in the shop the making of games and puzzles could be heard. In the music room, songs and hymns were being recorded. When this was completed, we all assembled in the gym for refreshments, after which the entire school joined in recording the Alma Mater.

However, with the help of Katherine Williams, Teacher Barbara and Master Russ, who had the new crews well planned before school started, both old and new students have easily adjusted to the new conditions. Though Bob Young, the boys' head, was an old member, the girls' head, Margie Hoag, and most of the other members of this year's W.P.C. were serving for the first time. Following a sug- gestion made last year, the two student heads have presided over weekly meetings. A nurnbet of additions have been made to the duties distributed by Work Program as a result of suggestions made in meetings by interested students. Among the most important change was that of installing waiters in the dining room as a regular work job. This has displaced the mad dash to the kitchen for food which took place at every meal before the present system was instituted. The committee wishes to express its thanks to the student body for their co-operation and interest in this important part of West- town life, the Work Program. 71'-Y Lei! to right: Judith Katz, Janice Rawson, Barbara Miller, Susanne Bieber, Patricia Bailey, Harriet Llever Barbara Parry, Barbara Acres. The 1948-49 cheerleading squad did a fine job of leading the crowd and spurring Westtown's teams on to their many victories. The cheerleaders were active in boosting morale at soccer, hockey and basketball games, come rain or shine, mud or dust. On the night before many a big game, spirited cheers and songs could be heard echoing from the gym, proof of the enthusiastic pep rallies being held there. Seven veterans of last year's squad re- mained and try-outs were held early in the year to choose an eighth member and three subs. As a result Barby Miller joined the squad, and Buzz Hawkins, Mary Ann Kupp, and Elsa von Haesler were admitted as subs. New cheers volunteered by the student body were initiated in the cheer line-up. Captain Sue Bieber kept the girls on their toes with frequent practices for more pep! The bus trip to Girard for a thrilling soccer gave the squad a chance to stand behind the team outside of Westtown. Here at school they are remembered for their successful pep rallies at which many a shy coach or captain was coerced inm giving an extemporaneous speech, as well as their peppy contribution to Westtown's sport events. standing Eugene Fi.

Colonel called the first meeting last fall, and with president Tom Kennan presiding over formalitiesg Dick Glidden, secretaryg Bill Wildman, treasurerg plus the managers of the major sports, Fisher, Rettew and Doane, they swung into action. A.A. dues raised, soccer nets bought, new basketball jerseys acquired and the final okay attached to awards, are a few accom- plishments of the board.. Letters are awarded on the recommenda- tion of the coach and captain of the sport, who submit a list of varsities and j.v.'s to the board. They discuss doubtful prospects and then pass it, as any formal business meeting would. Besides passing bills that must be paid, the board discusses projects that should be started, with an eye to the future. Due to a limited budget they cannot do everything at once. In the end, needed articles such as uniforms and equipment will be bought. With the end of the athletic year, in late May, the board col- laborates with the Girls' A.A. in giving the annual Athletic Ban- quet before passing on responsibility to the new board.

Teacher Mary Borton suggests that all varsity members be able to compete in intramural games, the idea being unanimously accepted. As a new project, we decide to award the members of the win- ning intramural team small felt insignias portraying the sport in which they are victorious. Shack parties and P.j. parties are also sponsored by A.A. The important business of Westtown hats is brought up, and it is suggested that Brown beanies with white W's would be suitable head gear to represent Westtown girls in the current hat fad. jane Carpenter, our book-balancer, smiles happily at the thought of more money in the treasury, as we find that the candy store will not supply enough money for new gym tunicsg so hats it is.

While he's waiting he shoots erasers into the wastebasket and envies the sports editors over at the next table, who at least appear to know what they're doing, whe- ther they're arguing over printing box scores or struggling for a slangy, catchy phrase.

Ritter and Ross Stevenson, the staff of Rhyme and Reason, Westtown's young literary magazine, has succeeded this year for the Erst time in meeting the printing costs and in selling about four hundred subscriptions Master james contributed to the sales by writing to parents and alumni asking their support. Probably the most dilicult task met by the Rhyme and Reason board was the collection of material. The excellence of the finished product was obtained only after continuous soliciting on the part of the staff. Lissa Smith and Carrie Liever at girls end and Pete Darlington and Felix Cayo at boys' end carried on the campaign outlined by the co-editors., They overlooked no prospect in their eagerness to obtain copy and sell subscriptions In charge of pecuniary problems, Business Managers Jeanne Russell and Austin Wattles kept accounts carefully in order and restrained ex cessive spending program s. Among Rhyme and Reason's many trials and errors was the ordering of too few copies, when every subscriber was satisfied, but no copies were left over, and the recurring problem of finding advertisements. But' despite all the hindrances so well known to every new and inexperienced magazine, the quality and style of writing in Rhyme and Reason assures its inevitable success, and it is on its way towards becoming a Westtown tradition.

As soon as the idea originates in the fertile brain of Nora Arrowsmith, England's gift to the Music Department, it may be considered a reality. Teacher Nora's ingenuity and persistence was demonstrated by the organization of a girls' choir, a long needed group, for the purpose of singing religious music. Many flocked eagerly to the Music Studio for try-outs and thirty fortu- nates were chosen as members. The choir's first major performance was at the Chrisunas Festival which took place on December sixth at the Tanguy Homesteads. The beautiful singing of the Cheyney Choir under the direction of Dr. Leslie P. Hill, the brilliantly lighted Christ- mas tree and the flaming bonfire coupled with the steaming cups of mulled cider and delicious homemade cookies made the evening a memorable occasion. On the Sunday evening following their debut at Tanguy, the choir made their first appearance before a Westtown audience during a Vespers Program. Since then, they have sung at another Vespers Service and at a Wednesday joint Collection. The in- troduction of this group, now much a part of Westtown life, adds another first in '49 to Westtown's established organizations and committees. ww , Q 1 my Bi ,Q m R Q , L X 4 S ...QZVG 1'3i HE :MAPK W K i x L 4 2. .- Q Q.

A Gilbert-and-Sullivan is by no means the easiest under- taking for a music teacher in her first year with a group, but Nora Atrowsmith did an admirable job of guiding the leads and members of chorus, with the assistance, musically, of Teacher Dot, and of Master Bernie, who played the indispensable part of dramatic coach. A group of faculty members selected Patience early in the fall as the opera was to be presented this year. Mixed Chorus began practicing chorus numbers some time in November, so they were quite familiar with most of the tunes and words by Christmas vacation, when tryouts for leads were held. The nervous excite- ment of tryouts pervaded every nook and cranny of the school, the halls humming with gay tra-la-las, sad discourses on the futility of middle-aged love, and the churnings of a love-struck mag- net's heart. For most of the contestants this was their first crack at semi-classical singing, and many had never attempted solo work before, so the normal tension of an audition was heightened to its utmost degree. The suspense between tryouts and the as- signments of parts the day Christmas vacation started, when the lucky chosen few tossed off their newly-gained fortune as calmly as possible, was difficult to endure, And then the night of March 12th was here, unbelievable as it seemed, and the curtains were opened on the first act of our own Patience . The lights shone brightly on stage, while the audi- ence was obscured by the dimmer house lights, and the notes of Twenty Lovesick Maidens echoed timidly throughout the audi- torium. The whole cast was slightly nervous at the beginning, but as the show gained momentum and the audience responded to each turn of events, a relaxed, almost professional air came over the players. Ruth Harvey, as the naive milkmaid, Patience, amused the crowd with her honest search for pure unadulterated love, and thrilled them with her beautiful soprano voice in Love is a Plain- tive Song and many others. Ross Stevenson, as Bunthorne, idyllic poet in love with Patience, was destined to be single at the end of the play, but not realizing his forthcoming woe, he put on a superb performance of confidence before his maidenly ad- mirers, confessing to being a poetic sham only in the privacy of the deserted stage. As Patience's other lover, Phil Shore carried out the part of the aesthetic poet, Grosvenor, who, being the least desirable in the eyes of Patience, was therefore the personihca- tion of unselfishness in love, and the winner of her hand. Angela, portrayed by Beth Wills, Ella, by Sue Ambler, and Saphir,by Margo Schutt led the chorus in their songs of woeful adoration, all of them finally realizing that the dragoons, whom they had so slighted 6' O 0 du: .IJ eggs gg...

The courageous Colonel, the sacrificing Major and the noble Duke, played respec- tively by Griffith Buttrick, Bruce Reeves and Bunny App, added humor to their plight when, perched at various aesthetic, but pain- fully uncomfortable, angles, they sang their hopeful trio, designed to bring their three loves to heel. To add tragic humor to the plot, Jeanne Russell as obese, middle-aged Lady jane, bewa iled her sad, loveless lot as she parasitically followed Bunthorne, the object of her blighted affections, throughout the performance. They brought down the house in their conspiring duet, So Go To Him . Everyone was sorry to see the show end, for the cast enjoyed the presentation as much as their audience, and put every bit of themselves into the success of the performance. And, as the dress rehearsal had predicted, the show went off with hardly an error. We are happy and proud of Patience , and with good reason, for it gave the school a chance to display its talent in a difficult piece of work, and offered the opportunity for teamwork in making successful one of the school's finest traditions.

As Stage Manager, he casually and realistically enacted the part of a small-town jack of all trades , from parson to soda jerk, while narrating the story of two families and their lives over a period of a few decades. Isabel Aitken, in her honest portrayal of small-town Emily Webb, drew handkerchiefs from many pockets, while Tom Glidden, as George Gibbs, did a fine job of playing the idealistic, masculine young hero of the story. The play followed the lives of Emily and George, next door neighbors, and their families, the Webbs: father Ross Stevenson, his wife, Ruth Harvey, and their children Wally, played by Mickey Winn, and Emily, and the Gibbs family: Doctor Phil Macy, and Marilyn Sutton, and their son George and daughter, Rebecca, en- acted by Kitty Hill. We became acquainted with many members of the community: the inebriated choirmaster, Simon Stimson fMaster Bernie, who took the place of Bob Leeds when he became sicklg Constable Warren CDick Gliddenlg Milkman Howie Newsome fHugh Downingjg undertaker joe Stoddard CDave Kinseyjg newsboys Joe and Si Crowell, fjohn Livezey and Pierre Battonlg howling base- ball-player friends of George's fBill Wildman, Tommy Kennan, and joe Carrolljg sprinkled among the audience, cultured woman, AJ. Ritter, radical Robin Nevitt, and W.C.T.U. member, Peggy Mc- Crory, who asked pertinent questions, and last but not least, Ethel Bartlett in the part of Mrs. Soames, the town gossip, who thought it was a perfectly lovely wedding . There were those indispensable behind-the-scenes workers, prompter Joan Bunche, Harry Glidden and his stage crew, Cornie's sound effects, Bobbie I-lunt's and joan McManus' makeup repair, and Master Herb's organ music, which all helped to make the show go smoothly. Credit also goes to Master Bernie and Teacher Agnes for their fine job of direction. We followed the lives of Emily and George from their childhood family squabbles to their first young love, blossoming into the wish to be married after high school. We remember the unexpected comedy introduced in the wedding scene when jan Rawson lost her shoe on the steps, but despite that, the ceremony was beauti- ful. Then the last act, and Emily, who had died in childbirth, re- turned to visit the living, not realizing the pain it would bring her. Most of the Senior class was represented in Our Town, and they did a job which lived up to the high degree of excellence set in '42. X.

Many things have happened since that first bright month of school when we held our initial board meeting. Many bridges along the road of experience have been crossed, some more successfully than others, and we've all seen our little giant grow from a hodgepodge of ideas into a coherent entity. It was a real challenge to put out a book giving more room to each senior without exceeding our limited budget in a year of in- creased rates on paper, printing, and binding. Master Harrie, in- genious as always, introduced the idea of offset printing,which is becoming more and more popular in the publishing field, as a way to cut costs. Along with this we reached a decision to do most of the paste-up work ourselves, a job which proved very reward- ing. In early December, after much debate, pro and con, a con- tract was signed with the W. T. Peck Company, while earlier in the fall, agreements with the Merin Photography Company were reached. I think it's been worth every bit of the effort we've put forth. The different departments couldn't have done a better job. Buzz and Byron with their persistent salestalks in collection made everyone picture conscious and over 300 pictures were ordered by the student body. Jeanie and Dick, as circulation managers, canvassed the dorms and contacted faculty, alumni, andfriends, aggregating a truly impressive record of Amicus subscribers. One of the most desirable features of offset is the way in which drawings and small sketches can be reproduced without the expense of engravings. With this idea in mind, joanie set to work on her original dramatization of Westtown life inside the covers and her work on the title page. Mickey and John Barrow are re- sponsible for the illustrations of '49 in action throughout the book. On senior characteristics Robin, as chairman, and his competent committee have done a most efficient job. Although the meetings were carried on under dead line pressure, everyone had a good time laughing fat someone else's expense, and making sug- gestions. When February came around, Jeanne sent out the writ- ing assignments and with much cajoling, everyone handed in his article. This was only the beginning of her task, she commenced the rewriting, rearranging, and retyping of the articles'which now appear here. Many thanks to the ghost writers-the unofficial members of the board. Tom, handling the advertisements, secured many ads from West Chester stores and other interested friends. As business manager, Harry served beyond the call of duty signing contracts, keeping the books, and contacting various people and making arrangements with the photographer. On Mouse's shoulders fell a medley of work, organizing the ideas, layout work, and general moral support, as she carried out her job as assistant editor and keeper of the Amicus closet key. To Mr. Theodore Weller, W. T. Peck Co., Deborah Richardson, Sylvlcx Pererc, Caroline HOQKL Mitchell Winn, Jean Leverlnq, Carol Hawkins. round out our staff we were assisted by Sylvia Perera, Anne Belk- nap, Harry Allen, and Phil Council as first class representatives, whom, we hope profited by our tutelage. We wish them success next year. Master Harrie, as faculty advisor, has helped us in innumerable ways with his guiding plea for saving money on un- necessary items. Once again, many thanks to you who helped make our dream a realty. Debbie P. S. just a minute, Debbie. You've given credit in your letter where credit was due, at least to almost everyone. But you forgot to mention the person who's given hours of time doing the little jobs others didn't want, who's urged delinquent board mem- bers to get their work in, who's organized most of the arrange - ments of this, our yearbook, and who's done a splendid job getting the Amicus formulated into the coherent book it is now. That person you forgot to mention is you, Debbie, so we wish to ex- press our thanks to you, a swell editor. The Board Back row Ann Elhrqott, Carloyn Stein, Judith Hoffman, Martha Bucknell.

It has given pleasure and enjoyment not only to its participants but has pro- vided for the school's entertainment as well. After meeting every Tuesday evening during the opening months of school, they accompanied Mixed Glorus in the presentation of the Christmas Program in which Glee Club sang several carols with Eleanor Odgers as soloist. - Unlike preceding years, there has also been a Boys' Glee Club this year, which joined the girls' group in presenting a musical program in the Spring. This marked the last performance of Glee Club for the year. '47 -414464 at Spade 1 . y Qi SX mf Mix dx 4 K gfxxxlmxtlg A HX RQ x Q 'X-EQFXSFE XSXFJFRXR Q Q.

This last game put the team on the long end of a 6 to 5 scoring column, and gave the Brown and White's high scorer, center forward Dave Richie, his eleventh goal. The eleven other seasonal points netted by the Blairmen, came mainly from the tive shifting linemen Tom Kennan, Dick Simon, Mickey Winn, Earl Harrison, and Bill Wildman. The halfbacl-c line-up suffered many changes as the season progressed, due to several serious injuries to Roy Gillespie, Dave Kinsey, and Ruddy Ham, giving newcomer Ted Wickersham and hard-hitting Len Winslow needed experience for next year's team as well as varsity positions for 1949. Howdy Taylor also played well as another middle man, and Bob Young, captain of the team, did more than his share as center halfback both in defensive and on the scoring end of the ball. Fullbacks Byron Collins and Chris White did a good job of de- flecting the opponents many attempts, while Frank Fisher and john Livezey, alternating as goalie, completed the line-up of the hard-fighting team. Although the 49ers' record on paper is not outstanding, they will be remembered as one of the most spirited, sportsmanlike teams to defend Westtown's honor. , we A , ., ,VV QM K M. N 5 ai 53 if uni' Sv 'E' SZ' g if T11 R, il away The hockey varsity looks back on this past season as an un- usually good one, both in number of games won and the team spirit displayed. Thanks to Teacher Mary Borton's able coaching and Binnie's captaincy, the varsity won seven out of the ten games played, and tied an unforgettable game with Swarthmore. The j.V. team, captained by AJ. Ritter and Jeanie Levering, al- though their record of victorious games 'was not so favorable, showed teamwork and perseverance. Much to their surprise, the soccer varsity learned that not just anybody can play hockey, when they were beaten by a score of 7-1. The Faculty and alumni games were more a show of enthusi- asm than skill in playing, but they were the most fun and longest remembered. Of the six girls present at the trials, Blyth Barnes, Helen Hetzel and Ellie Keiser represented Westtown on the team from this area in the Philadelphia Private School Tournament. There are many unforgettable memories of this season: We simply have to win this game, Look out, Cindy, bike hike in- to the Pennsylvania hills, Forbes' foot, Rah, Ray Team. We've had a wonderful time as well as having a winning team, and since there were very few seniors on this year's varsity, Westtown should have an even better showing next year. , if 3 a , iw 15 K up www 'X .f if Q v W 'i K vs N Y,,f,w,, af fzgq.

With a record of eleven wins and three losses, the Westtown Basketball season was one of the most successful ones in West- town's history. Captain Dave Kinsey missed the first five games because of a broken leg acquired in soccer season. Fortunately he was able to play for the remainder of the season. The year was highlighted by two record-breaking games. Early in the season, newcomer joe Carroll broke loose with thirty-one points against Malvern Prep for an individual game record. The high point of the basketball season, however, was the game with Girard College, when all existing records were shattered as re- lated in the headline, Records Fall as Westtown Wins. The team total of eighty-two points raised the old record by three points while Hoosier joe Carroll set a new individual scoring record with an amazing forty-five points..-. One of the most powerful offensive teams to play on the Westtown floor, the team this year averaged over fifty-six points per game while holding their oppo- nents to a thirty-nine point average. The starting line-up consisted of joe Carroll and Dave Kinsey as forwards, Bob Fowler in the center spot, and Earl Harrison and Barry jones as guards. This combination was very ably assisted by Macy, Wildman, Keenan, Fisher, and Richie. Carroll chalked up a season total of 291 points while the rest of the scoring was fairly equally divided between jones, Fowler, Harrison, and Kinsey. Returning next year will be Harrison, Fowler, and jones in addition to several promising players on this year's J. V. team. W.

When school resumed its pace after the Christmas holidays, the squad was chosen and teamwork got under way. Crys of Pivot , Pass , and Shoot were heard from the sidelines during the first game, helping to spur the team onward. Beginning the season with a double defeat at Moorestown re- sulted in growing determination. With the assurance that there was material for winning teams, they triumphantly took three out of the four following Varsity games. 1.V. pulled together later on in the season to win three out of their eight games, while Varsity was victorious for three out of nine games. Although statistics appear unfavorable they did have a good season that showed the best in teamwork, sportsmanship and ath- letic ability. This is evident in the high scores although they were made at defeated games. Helen Binford and Estelle Osler took turns in sharing the high scoring honors for Varsity while Jeanne Russell hit an all time high for ,l.V. with Sandy Bennet also starring in four games. Ruth Harvey and Joan Forbes shared to position of Captain on the Varsity team, while Debbie Richard- son servedas Captain for j.V. with Betty Ann Furnas substituting. llete's to the faithfulmanager, Carol Hogg, who stuck by through thick and thin, keeping scores and time and giving whole-hearted support. l.V.

Captained by third-year man, john Livezey, the boys combined style, speed and spirit in producing a top-notch team. Included in the year's activities were five record-breaking per- formances, three of which are attributed to Captain Livezey. He clipped five tenths of a second off in the 50 yard freestyle mark to set a new record of 25.5. He also broke the 100 yard backstroke record twice, bringing it down to its present 1108.7 rating. The two relay teams with Livezey, Malcolm, and Rettew, not to be sur- passed by individual records, combined to break the medley relay mark. Spelman, Freeman, Rettew, and Livezey clipped two tenths of a second off the 200 yard freestyle record. Varsity letters were awarded to Livezey, Malcolm, Rettew, Downing, Freeman, Stevenson, and Radbill. j.V.'s were presented to jones and Spelman, while Henry Hoff received numerals. ln the regular starting lineup Livezey and Hoff featuredin the 50 yard freestyle, Malcolm and Jones in the breaststrokeg Spelman, Rettew, and Kressler in the two hundred, Livezey, Stevenson, and Shore in the backstrokeg Rettew, Radbill, and Spelman in the hun- dredg and finally the all important diving departmentwith Robb and Downing.

Captained by Caroline james and coached by Teacher Mary Borton, the team splashed its way to an almost perfect record. The many fast new- comers to the team gave added support. We started our season with a victory over a new opponent, Park School of Baltimore, in our own pool, followed by another home meet in which we defeated Baldwin School. Next victory was over George School, our tra- ditional rival, whom we downed after a close and exciting struggle in their pool, winning by only three points. Following this, the Westtown team suffered their only defeat, at the hands of the powerful Lower Merion swimmers. The team was made up this year of old,.favorites, Caroline james, Kacky Gregory, Harriet Liever, Celie Oliver, Margie Hoag, Blyth Barnes, and Ellie Keiser, with the addition of new members Bitsy Hoag, Ruth Binns, A. Liddell, Sue Ambler, Nat Branson, Nancy McCurdy, Betty Lou Morris, and the divers, all newcomers to the team, Joyce Kressler, Betsy Barnes and Barbie Miller. Our thanks also go to the manager of the team, Bobbie Acres, whose helpful supply of safety pins and strings to control the mis- creant tank suits and willingness to undertake any unpleasant task was much appreciated. Next year's team promises to be just as successful as this, as it has been comprised largely of underclassmeng so may they carry on the fine record established this year. W.

As well as the two three-year varsity men, Tom Kennan and Bill Wildman who alternated between pitching and center field, the Brown and White took the field using last year's catcher Tom Glidden, 3rd baseman Dave Richie, short stop Frank Fisher, and outfielders Dave Kinsey and Bob Young. joe Carroll stepped into one of the two vacancies at either 2nd base or the mound, while the job of holding down the initial sack was passed around amid the casualties Bob Fowler and Griff Buttrick, and Phil Macy. With the powerful array of sluggers and the competent pitch- ing staff, our '49 varsity takes its place among the better West- tOW'n teams. 4f12 Malvern Prep Away 4fl4 Friends Select Away 5f13 Wilmiflgwn Away 4f22 Tower Hill Away 5f21 Malvern Prep Home 4f26 Friends Select Home 5x23 P- M- C- Home 4X 29 Germantown Fr.

The squad won its first match against Val- ey Forge Military Academy, by a 5-3 score, this being the first team victory in several years. The successful match gave the team confidence and raised its morale to carry it through a good 0, season. Returning from last year's singles positions were Earl Harrison, Wistar Comfort, and Ronald Birkenfeld, who played lst, 2nd, and 3rd singles respectively. Playing fourth was Bill Davies, a new- comer to Westtown this year. All four of these players will return next year. Austin Wartles, the captain and only senior on the team, played 5th singles. Other spots on the team were shared by Barry jones, '50g Dan Christy, '49g jim Kressler, '49, jack Bedford, '49 and Bob Ayres, 150 If the success we have had with this year's fighting tennis men, coached by Master Bernie Haviland and Master Branch Blair, is at all revealing, next year's team should be a powerful one.

Teacher Dot coached the team's early practices until Mary Broton finished teaching her lifesaving class. Both were kept very busy running between the old courts and the new all-weather courts across the bridge to show someone how to improve a backhand shot or how to master an expert serve, Five matches were scheduled this season, all of them at home. Enough of the former members of the team were left from last year so that an entirely green team did not have to be trained, the early spirit continued throughout the season and there was seldom a time when the courts were empty and the cheering section not filled.

A number of last year's team formed the mainstays of the squad, the rest being filled out by new Westonians who showed skill in the game. Several good players came to the squad from last year's tennis team, giving us added strength. Under Teacher Barbara's coaching, the team was formed into a unified, enthusi- astic group which worked not only individually, but as a strong unit. Although there were only two games scheduled with other schools, Wilmington Friends and, Tower Hill, this gave needed experience to the new members ofthe squad to play in competitive sports, and an opportunity to all members of the team of earning a varsity letter. The team spirit and cooperation shown at these events, and in practice throughout the season, made the games successful regardless of scores, and gave a feeling of satis- faction to all who played on the team.

This spring a new batch of Robin Hoods picked up their bows and arrows, sighted the bullseye, sighed longingly, let go the string and the arrow hit-the target! Beginners' luck seemed to adhere to many during the first days of practice, but soon sore fingers and aching muscles attested to the developing skill of the archers, and from the ranks several promising varsity shooters appeared. Nancy Zilboorg was the only holdover from last year's team, she forming the nucleus of the '49 varsity. Teacher Mary and the more experienced marksmen demonstrated correct tech- niques in shooting until clumsy contortions and wild shots could be classified as form and actual holes appeared in the gold center of the target. Helen Noyes, as manager, did a faithful job keeping the precious equipment in condition. 'emu , ,W AQ., wrgevvfvif +G ,.,.4:Wfff'1'w gina, as mr- ex 1, it A .

Ad Breaking a former precedent, Westtown opened the cinder season with a meet with Germantown. In years past, the initial contest took place at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The lineup in April showed delinite holes in the dash and field events left by Art Winsor and Gil Fisher, but hopeful new materi- al developed with practice. The fast relay team of '48, composed of Earl Harrison, john Petri, and Robin Nevitt was joined by speedy Tom Kennan to form another successful crew of baton carriers. Dave Kinsey and Pete Darlington returned to the role of aerialists, vaulting over the bar at sensational heights, while Kinsey also starred in the hurdles. Bunny App ran the middle distances, with By Collins, Sten Klinteberg, Dick Cooper, and Roy Gillespie in the dashes. A great job of lining the track and looking after equipment was done by Al Peckham, who heaved the weights in his spare time. Chris White handled the javelin, while Earl Harrison, Bob Leeds, and john Radbill contended as milers. Once more assisted by Fred Swan, jan Long did a competent job in the coaching slot.

We know we've been bringing our problems and gripes, love troubles and gossip to you for years, but now it's different. This is our last year, and we may never have a chance again. This is a year and a class that you've helped a lot. You've been an unofficial member of the class of '49 ever since it became a class. This year especially you've given us your labor and love. And we do appreciate it -the advice, the help, the fun. We needed somebody to champion us at the same time that we were given a push along the straight and narrow, we needed somebody to listen to out complaints and suggestions over a mug of cocoa, and then put them into action. We want to thank you for all this and show our gratitude, but we don't know how. That's our problem. If you can think of any way, let us know. Till then, we'd like you to accept this Amicus dedicated to you. CLASS OF '49 vvavwv--n-v 63444 gcvlazgi . ' . I-H ' . , . , ' 'il 1 ,fu ., , ., g , ' fy . ffz,-f-Q, u. ,J .,, .1 .TL Q Q :E .,,.

Betsy, our first real member, came and went in Lane School, Roy, who's been around the longest of the boys, made his appear- ance in the sixth grade, and then, in the eighth grade- came our little Ethelwyn. It was no secret to anyone when the foundation of our class arrived at Westtown in September, 1945. We were wild and un- tamed, straight from our mothers' apron strings, afraid and anxious about the four years ahead which were to mean so much to us. However, we had enough presence of mind even then to elect Margie Hoag and Bob Young as Presidents. We indulged our passion for running down the hall in full for- mation, gadding around, and successfully got off one very mixed-up joint weekend. The boys insisted that the girls were silly, the girls returned the compliment. That junior High Show- remember? The old-fashioned, very mellow-dramer with Maull Nevitt and Ruthie co-starred. And then there were the panics in Master Dean's English class, including the alarm clocks set off one day. Yes, we made a spectacular beginning, and it was ob- vious that we would make a name for ourselves in the Westtown world. i Second class more than doubled our number, and it wasn't long before they were as much a part of the class as if they, too, had lived through the hectic year before. Helen Binford, future varsity star, took over as Vice-President and Dick Simon was our new President. We found in our ranks the well-known triplets-Tom, Dick and Harry, jacques Trocme with his fascinating French accent, and so many other very individual personalities. We began to take an active part in most Westtown organizations, took our place already on many athletic teams, and prepared ourselves for future leadership. There were those, too, who took us by storm scholastically. Cornie won the poetry contest and the highest scholarship in the class. We became a real unit that year, from the time of the Introduction Ball to that rainy camp supper at the Lake House on Class Day. We were genuinely sorry when summer came, for Westtown had become a part of our lives. Living without the catchy fads that were characteristic of us then seemed impossible, but we came back in September a little bit older, able to go to the upper class dances, and ready to elect Robin and Cornie to our Presidency and VicePresidency. Marilyn Sutton was secretary and Harry Glidden the keeper of the funds. There was plenty to keep us busy all year, and college began to be a major consideration. We went to the Spring Formal. Binnie did us proud by winning the Savery Cup. We remember well the difficulty we had with the class song, and how we nearly didn't have one to sing on that eventful night when we got our rings and pins. We watched the class of '48 graduate, suddenly reali i that that would be us in just one year. And then, as if by magic, we were seniors, grown-up, with new realms of responsibility and privileges open to us. We got over the first excitement of using the parlors, walking out of collection first, and testing out our newly acquired dignity and settled down to the business of making our senior year the best yet.. It was hard learning the underclassmen's names, but we soon found out who among them would work well with us on the committees and organizations which most of us now headed. We elected Kinsey and Jeanie Levering as President and Vi ce-President, AJ. Secre- tary, and Harry and jan the Treasurers. We acquired two members in the person of Master Bob and Teacher Mabel, our Honorary Member and Dedicatee. These two patiently put up with our idio- syncrasies and bore our problems as their own. The wonderful teas in Master Bob's apartment, Teacher Mabel's mysterious sur- prises in the Senior Parlor, and the influence and guidance of both of them helped to make '49 as near perfect as it was. The year whizzed by filled with unforgettable experiences. And now, impossible as it seems, everything is just a memory: the Senior hikes when certain couples managed to get lost, our own Hallowe'en Party at Bailey's Farm with the Skeleton strung up on the rafters, the Banquet and the Party in the Lake House after- wardsg the girls caroling early Sunday morning at Christmas time and the fellows the night before vacationg the Senior play, first preference on the lakeg Cacg the Spring Formal, our lastg studying outdoors in nice weatherg the fun it all was. And then, at last- graduation. But these things are more than just memories. They are the foundation of our lives, they have made us what we are. And it will be many years,perhaps never, before we forget the friendships we've made, the intellectual freedom experienced here, or just the word . . .

Ritter, jan Rawson, and Harry Glidden as their class oflicers for this year and eternity. To quote the Bee and Dub, . . these officers get life job. It's the responsibility of these five to keep the class together, and to preside over future reunions. Dave, who is president of our famous 150 Anniversary class, joined us last year. His executive ability and leadership have en- abled him to carry out the first year of his job in an efficient man- ner. Our vice president, Jeannie, has completed the year with success also. It was their guiding light which quieted overly ex- huberant spirits on the dorm, made us realize that there was another side to the problem, and it was through their thoughtful- ness that many kind deeds have been done which otherwise would have been overlooked. Secretary A. J. faithfully attended both class and officer meet- ings taking notes on all important matters. It was she who wrote out official business letters and recorded the numerous class committees. But we really need your five dollars, was the constant plea of treasurers jan and Harry, and by the end of the year everyone had fulfilled his obligation. Harry has done an ex- tremely able job with the class funds, always keeping the books in order and watching to see that we didn't go into the red. As any group of class officers at Westtown must appoint the necessary committees to carry out the business of the big senior year, this is a job with far-reaching results. Our officers have shown good judgement and a sincere desire to give everyone a chance in their appointments. Through them our senior year has been an efficient and happy one.

Fall elections followed quickly, with -Heinz Koch elected president, Liz jordan vice-president, and Mimi Van Liere and Harry Allen chosen for the jobs of secretary and treasurer, respectively. Juliet Wilson was chosen at'Mid-term to fill the position vacated by Liz. During the year, First Class carried its full load of school re- sponsibilities. Council meetings saw the faces of numerous mem- bers of the class, with Earl Harrison, Harry Allen, Sylvia Perera, Betty Wright, and Helen Slack as permanent members. jim Brad- beer and Marty Bucknell served on the Work Program Committee, and Harry Allen and Helen Noyes on the Service Committee, while Fritz Bell and Betty Ann Furnas were our representatives to the Steering Committee. Wistar Comfort was the boys' head of the Religious Life Committee, of which Polly Richardson was also a member. Griffith Butterick, Nancy Zilboorg, Caroline james, Wistar Comfort, and Helen Hetzel held down various jobs on the Brown and White board, and Peter Darlington, Felix Cayo, and Lissa Smith lent their literary talents to the Rhyme and Reason Board of Executives. First Class was also outstanding in the athletic line, contributing many members to the hockey, soccer, swimming, basketball, and other varsities during the year, while Bobbie Acres, Judy Katz, and Harriet Liever as cheerleaders, cheered the teams on to victory. Books were not neglected, however, in spite of all this activity, First Class was also proficient scho- lastically, as the monthly Honor Roll would testify. At the same time, they knew how to have a lot of fun, as was evidenced by everyone whenever they got together at dances, games, or just general gatherings. The groundwork has been laid for an even more successful Senior year, and the Class of 1950 is ready to step up! .,--v-v-..-,F N. df.- . V . ,, 4, Q. 4 544: J' Q.

George Forsythe and Sandy Bennett were elected as class chair- men, with Allie Hoag and Stacy Wood as secretary-treasurers. Much athletic ability was demonstrated by both East and West enders all through the year, their names being too numerous to mention. Many second classmen took prominent places on the various school committees. Council members were Mary Varian, Barbara Hoff and Chris deKiewiet, and Dick Peterson, Bill McEwen George Forsythe and Cyril Harvey. Millie Chang and jack Biede- man took their places on the Religious Life Committee. Holding down jobs on Service Committee were Allie Hoag and Marshall Severence, with Marshall and Sandy Seith as stage crew members. The class was active in all dramatic productions, working on costume, make-up and scenery committees, and participating in the three Workshop Theatre plays. Bruce Reeves in his convincing portrayal of the major in Patience brought honor to second class, and Dixie Binns enacted the Shakespeare play lead with excellence. Dotty Terrell has distinguished herself by accompany- ing numerous musical programs, and Glee Club is composed largely of second class girls. Duncan Robb demonstrated his business ability by holding down a seat on the Bofsto board. Not to be forgotten are the artists from this all-around class who have contributed much to dance decorations and picture exhibits. Looking back, it's been a busy year with varied interests much in evidenceg therefore, we're sure the class of '51 is well on its way toward being a successful one. U6 3: c O .-4 .-4 'U C .

After settling down to the new school year, a Third Class meet- ing was called at which David F. Sutton and Bitsy Hoag were elected as class chairmen. An idea was instituted to collect fifty cents dues from each member to finance class parties. One of the best parties was held at the lakehouse with Teacher Barbie and Master Branch as chaperones. Third Class has made its contributions to various school organizations, Peg Bruton is a member of the Work Program Com- mittee, Trudy Richter and Giles Gamble represent the class on Religious Life Committee, and several people have held positions on squads and varsities. Stone House put forth many promising athletes on their teams, indictative of future Westtown victories. Teacher Barbie Taylor, as the third class girls' advisor, has lent an invaluable hand in straightening out their more serious prob- lems. Although the seventh and eighth grades are composed mainly of day students and lack organization as a compact class with officers and other necessary properties, they must not be forgotten, for they will someday be Westtown seniors. This year has proved a memorable beginning in the building of these classes, and next fall will mean the renewing of old friend- ships and the forming of many new ones.

Jim Fowler, class of '47, worked with us last summer and in his class letter he wrote: Back Log is a wonderful place if you can keep the bears out of your tent. The work there is the work you like to do . . . the camp boys got just as much fun out of carrying packs, paddling canoes, chopping wood. etc., as did the guests we were working for ....
