We hope that in the future it will serve as a store of memories for all members of the class. We owe much to Mr. McVey, whose unceasing eH'ort served as a great source of strength in the production of this RECORD. We also would extend our sin- cere thanks to Mr. Barnes of the West- brook Publishing Company and to all those who have obtained advertisements and contributed articles. FOREWORD P HAROLD D. ALLEN DEDICATIO HE CLASS OF 1945 DEDICATES ITS CLASS RECORD TO MR. HAROLD D. ALLEN. WE HOPE THAT THIS DEDICA- TION WILL IN SOME MEASURE EXPRESS OUR WARM FEELINOS TOWARD A MAN WHO HAS LONG BEEN A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF EVERY MEMBER OF OUR CLASS. 5 Scaicd: Maclary, Wight, Maccormick, Dr. Gummere, Allen, Kelson, Craig. Slanding: Ricker, Heine Taylor, Fall, McVey, Evans, Brecht, Ohl, Gray, Dressler ' THE FACULTY HO could forget Mr. lVlcVey squinting in the bright sunlight behind those glasses and uttering after Coxe had muffed, What league did he come up from? Or Duke as he was about to hand out the tests of a month back registering grave concern over luke's predicament. You stunk to high heaven on this one, Bill. 'Ihat's a pip that is. Or Mr. Allen laughing loud as he watched Hughes: Don't you like your old teacher, Hughes? Or Dr. Gummere stalk- ing a poor victim trying to get some exercise: What happened to your math this month? Then turning away. Or Mr. Mac shouting at the fifth boy with the same mistake: I don't care what the book says. Round that blasted thing off to 24.7. Or. Mr. Kelson whispering in confidential tones: You know Hank has plenty of time for sports but he hardly turns over a hand in the classroom. Or Mr. Ricker with a sarcastic smile: No, Tom, don't get the wrong idea. Tennyson doesn't mean that. Gr Mr. Heine watching Stork carry his shot put in: Here comes that duck-footed Stork. Or Mr. Wight and Mr. Drcssler batting out some equation: But the VALENCE is TXNOp you can't disregard that. 4 W 1 M HERBERT B.

It was here that the notorious Class of 1945 started its existence. Thirteen howling kids were in this first class which Miss Tennis tried so valiantly to con- trol. Among the maze of mighty mites could be discerned the countenances of three of the future class officers: namely, Throck Coxe, Maurice Irving, and Whitey Williams. Irv was striving manfully to persuade his two comrades to leave school and flee to China, but Throck and Whitey were too interested in their water-color books to pay much attention. Of the other celebrities, the two renowned Kelly Killers, Tom Keon and Kel himself, and Semour Wagner, Editor of all our publications, were the most prominent. Immersed in thought at the back of the room was Larry Huston, who had already started work on a defrosting machine to use on a certain resident of Coulter Street. Limpy Ioe McKinney and Herndon Hepburn were watching disinterestedly not know- ing that in the future they, too, would need such a device. A little off' to the side luke was bombarding Miss Tennis' goldfish with pebbles, while Ken Doak stood nearby recording the scene with his Baby Brownie. Your Class Historian couldn't suppress a roar of laughter, when he perceived Fancy Pants Stout enter the class with a Phillie cigar dangling between his lips. When told smok- ing wasn't allowed, he handed the stogie to Kirby whispering, lust vote for me at the next election. Second grade started with a bang as playboys Hank Brown and Bill Smith sauntered into the class without paying too much attention to Miss Trask's course in addition. Inconspicuously in the background, those two gentlemen of extra- ordinary mental acumen, William Thompson and Charles Butterworth, were doing the lesson with one of Mr. Kelson's slide rules. World's record holder and man-about-town, Frank Decker gave the class a break in Lower Second, and he was accompanied by Ted Hugs, a third member of that potent aggregation, the Killers. That master of the licorice stick, Iohn Aberle, graced our class the next yearg Booty Frank, our ace grappler, came along with Bill Mikell and the class clothes-rack, Roddy Hillas. Sexta saw Robert Schneck, that shrewd manipulator of funds and demon on the hot licks, enter. Penn Street's own Ralph Whitaker, who also answers to the name, Roister Doister, trailed behind Suave Charles Pearson, Bunky Swope, and Good Old Tom Masterson, that great exponent of tongue-wagging. The joint started jumping when Rod- ger the Lodgern Cheetham spelled with a d, and Springy Don Bailey joined our midst. Another Roxboro-ite, Ted Preston, achieved fame that year when he received a dollar bill clipped to his English paper. For a short time Knox's Second Year Grammar became more popular than Fantastic Comics. That mas- 57 ter mechanic, Steward Perkins, who can also throw a mean party, joined our group at this time with that jack-of-all-trades, George Grier. Any day during class George can be observed simultaneously listening to the teacher, doing his home- work for the next period, snapping an action picture of some character, figuring out the inductive reactance of a resistive circuit, and developing ten more pic- tures of lrv and Sanna in that spacious schoolbag of his. In the background could be heard William Iiggs Donahue reciting some lines from Wordsworth, erroneously called VS'adsworth by Stout, to one Mr. Ricker's extreme an- noyance. Twinkletoes Bill Spinlr, an up-and-coming member of the H. C. Club, entered in Upper Quarta along with Buzz Gubb also known as Bruzz Grubb, Guzz Bubb, and Gruzz Brubb. Our era in the Senior School started off with the entrance of that virtuoso of the keyboard, Robert Tarpley, who introduced the classics as they should be played. Dick Lambert, Mortimer Snerd's double, came running in abject terror from that animated pogo stick, Hairless Harry Sage. Three shining examples from Chestnut Hill Academy came in their sophomore year to bestow their bless- ings upon our humble gathering. Need we introduce Harry Heartbeat Lauer, Sandy the Dandy Stevenson, or Blue-jacket Tim Miller. Smilin' Ott Schumacher came close behind Zooter George Tiers who was hot-footing it in to the hot clarinet of Shirley McCall. In the February of that year, Ierry Yoran, a good-looker from California, entered to become the class Rebel. In our Prima year Wallingford's gift to Penn Charter came in the form of Charlie Campbell who arrived at the same time with Drape-Shape Louis Geary, who is the best-dressed fellow in the class regardless of what Lauer says. Two more musicians, Hot-lips Reeves and Squeeze-box Elbert Mansur, joined Pop Leman's ensemble in that year to add to the sour notes of McCall and Aberle. That ardent supporter of the New Deal, Dick Teller, also came at this time using many household words to express his feelings. Those two lacks, Cunningham and XNebb, arrived the same year, coming from out Yeadon way to annoy Mr. Allen. Dick will be only too glad to tell you some of his opinions in private. Two more recruits signed up in the fall of our Senior year, these being three- letter man George Shiffner and Harvey Smith, cousin of Yale's Tiger Tom. Harv made himself known from the start by bringing along his tin lizzy as announcer. Luke Martin pulled a quick-change job when he transformed himself from a Inn- ior to a Senior in February, and thus became the final member to enter our class. The year is now over, and it is time to bring this history to a close. Hence- forth recollection must give way to prophecy. We leave these gates now with the knowledge that no matter what the future brings, nothing can erase the pleasant memories of the Class of 1945. 58 CLASS PROPHECY HE air was thick and sticky as I de- scended the long ramp. Once again I felt the security and safety of Philadel- phia earth. The city looked about the same at Delaware Avenue as it ever did. I turned around to cast a final glance toward the old schooner. Yes, it was my last trip on the old ship. With my satchel in hand I headed for the nearest cafe. lust outside the door of the cafe was a poor, blind beggar playing a half-strung guitar. Around his neck was tied a money-cup with about five dollars in it. An uncouth character, with his hat drawn over his eyes, approached the beggar and purloined the poor man's cup. As he was drawing away, our eyes met and I recognized the familiar face of Charlie Camp- bell. He did not stop but ran down a de- serted alley. Upon entering the cafe, I noticed a gin-soaked Seaman hanging over the bar mumbling. I turned him over only to see that former Merchant Marine cadet, lack Cunningham. After throwing three gal- lons of cold water on him he opened his eyes. Then Kunnie began to speak. He told me that he didn't have enough time to be an Ensign. Have you seen anything of Luke Mar- tin? I asked. Oh, yes. He's the manager of the Ard- more Aces baseball team. Where you been? he inquired. I've been down at Martinique for the past few years. Tom Keon is running a bistro comparable to Rick's in Casablanca. When he first got there, the islanders used to kid him by painting 'Keyas in Chaos' all over the joint, but after he became more suc- cessful they put up an electric sign that read: 'Keon in Neon.' Tom's supporting a fellow who has pretty well spent himself. The natives all call him 'Eddie' but his real name is Ted Hughes. I waved good-bye and moved along the bar. As I was about to down my drink, I felt an ungodly blow land on my back. I wheeled around to perceive the image of Georgie the Rat Calias George Shiffnerj. He picked'up a crowbar and blasted bar- tender Iohn Aberle on the head. Then he let out a shriek of laughter and scooted out of the door. With a roll of tens in my pocket, I pro- ceeded up Market Street to flag a taxi. The customary lunch-hour throng tried its level best to trample me 'neath their merciless feet, but I managed to secure a hiding place at the entrance of a bookstore. On a large sign perpendicular to the sidewalk was the fol- lowing inscription: TARPLI:Y's QEverything from Caesar translations to the newly stolen board examinationsj At the next corner I bought Body Beaulyul, that shocking new magazine with photo- graphs taken at George Washington Grier's studios. I then found myself inside a Nedick's corner restaurant. The waitress seemed a bit peeved at a certain young Casanova who was unsuccessfully trying to arrange a rendezvous with her. I spoke with the young lad who was, by the way, none other than Larry Huston. I then stopped in at City Hall to have a few words with my old friend and classmate, Boss Kelly. It seems as though that great multimillionaire, Donald Bailey, was de- prived of all his electricity and running water due to his failure to vote a straight Demo- cratic ticket the preceding November. Mayor Kelly took me through one of the courts where we saw that proficient criminal lawyer, William Donahue, putting another one over on Big Tom Masterson. The accused was Seymour Wagner who had been brought up on three manslaughter charges. Mayor Kelly then went on in detail discussing the charges against William Mikell in the Grand Lar- ceny Case the week before. But Kelly con- cluded that Mil-:ell was having all the com- forts of home up the river. I bid the famous mayor a fond farewell and iourneyed over to Wanamaker's. In one of the showcase windows was a picture of a dapper young citizen in a double-breasted pin-stripe suit. It was obviously Lew Geary. Once inside Wanamaker's basement, I asked the tloorwalker where the elevators were. He gave me very simple directions which I care- fully followed out. However, instead of find- ing thc elevators, I found mysc lf standing on the northbound platform of the subvsay. I, therefore, returned to the floorwalker and informed him of his mistake. He glared at me with a disgusted look and then said: Oh, stop asking so many questions. I've only been viorking here ten years. By that congenial reply I knew that he couldn't be anyone else but Ioe lVIcK.inney. He showed me around the basement pointing out the enormous beginner's ski slide and also the instructor, Ted Coxe. Ioe then di- rected me to Fifteenth Street where I hailed a Schumacher cab. To Penn Charter, driver! I commanded. Uh-huh, answered the cab driver. There seemed to be a certain familiarity about that grunt. At last I remembered that gay caballero, Ralph Whitaker. Ralph was kind enough to turn on the radio for me. . . .

Flashl Iust learned that a great catastrophe has taken place at the Annual Peace Confer- ence. Ted Preston agreed with Germany, Russia, Iapan, and the United States, and he was shot in the head by the Governor- General of the Fiji Islands, Richard Lambert. Flashl Last night T. Frank Decker, Ir., played the title role in Sandy Stevenson's new play, Don Juan. After the audience recovered from the performance, the general concensus of opinion was that Decker is not a Don Iuan either on or off the stage . . . Ralph turned off the radio and said, That was Bob Stout. UNO? I replied ironically. Yeh, he stated, after ripping off his third fender on a park guard's hut. The park guard shook his fist at the speeding cab, when, all of a sudden, I realized that he was Elbert Mansur. Finally, we .pulled into the old familiar driveway. I gleefully ran into the otiice to see Dr. Gummere. In the office were seven gorgeous blondes. Where is Dr. Gummere? I gulped. Who's that? asked one. The headmasterf' Oh, no. You mean that darlin' little old red-headed Dr. Swopef' I was awestruck. But soon I was seated before his eminence las he liked to be calledj. After taking a tremendous drag on his cigar, he inquired, What can I do for you? What's new? Not much. We have, however, made a few necessary changes. The Alumni Society has kindly presented the school with an in- sane asylum for the Class of 1945. Ken Doak takes the snapshots for the Bide-a-Wee Home's yearbook. He took one neat color photo of Rodge Cheetham trying to strangle himself on the piano wires. Come on along downstairs to the Eminent Cafe. The first show's just starting. On the way down Dr. Swope informed me that Charlie Butterworth was now head of the Science Department, and that Charlie Reeves was the new director of the Instru- mental Club. The chief entertainer of the night club was that great tap dancer, Bones Sage. I noticed Bob Schneck playing second trumpet. How come Bob's not up in the big time? I queried. Well, you know, he always did-well, you know what I mean. Too much, huh? Yes, too much. We both shook our heads and boarded the escalator only to see a gaping janitor screw- ing in a new light bulb. The Good Doctor informed me that he was Harvey Smith. One of the most noticeable changes in the whole school was the new Senior Escalator. Come on outside and watch football practice, Swope suggested. I nodded. lust as we were about to go out the front door, I could hear the whining roar of a Rolls-Royce engine tearing up the driveway. Swope grabbed me and we dove for cover. Soon a loud crash echoed through the corridors, and a giant car ploughed its way into the front hall. The car was, indeed, mangled. It was painted with black stripes and on the door was engraved: THE BLACK BEAUTY Then emerging from the door of the car came that million-dollar playboy, Bu zz Gubb. He started in at once. Geel One down and eighteen to go. That poor Roy Hepburn forgot to invite me to his party last night. Look at this! He showed us the headlines on the Jliller Jlirror which read: ROY HEPBURN LEFT HoMELEss AS House BURNS DowN He continued: Rod Hillas sure is working hard over at Philco. Poor boy does all the work. Must run along, boys. Have a date with Lauren Bacall tonight. He dashed out the door quicker than he had come in. After I had caught my breath, I asked Dave where Perk was. He's still gold-bricking his way through Bainbridge. That two packs a day is pretty tough on The Perkf' As soon as we got outside, I saw a distant figure sprinting across the lawn, then lung- ing at the ground. I asked Dave who it was. He said it was Stork from the asylum. Then he added that Alex keeps chasing bulldogs that aren't there. Do you know who our most successful classmate is? asked Swope. Who? The Right Honorable Charles Bertram Pearson, II, Secretary of the Interior. As we were approaching the field, I asked Dave what had become of Harry Lauer. YNell, he went over to France for the Peace Conference and was so attracted by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles that he's set up house there. On the football field was Hlukcf' Schofield, the famous Eagles' fullback, teaching the boys some fundamentals. He was wearing a Brooklyn jersey and Washington Redskins' pants. I said good-bye to Dr. Swope and walked over to Germantown. I had a chat with George Tiers who had, incidentally, taken up a co-partnership with Leon Wexler in man- aging the HY. He told me that Harvey Frank had just been elected the Mayor of Boys' Town. In passing by the Orpheum, I saw that Bill Smith was playing in So Tall, So Brown, So Handsome. Jerry Yoran was busy taking tickets in his navy blue uni- form. He told me that Herby Williams had been picking weeds off the tennis courts at Manheim in preparation for the Davis Cup. Williams was about to leave for New Hamp- shire as a swimming Councilor at Camp Vtleidecard. I began to feel religious, so I entered a Catholic church. As I was kneeling in one of the front pews, I sensed a sympathetic hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see the kind face of Father McCall. He began to speak: And will you touch the Blarney stone, although I don't know why. Then from the immense organ came a hor- rifying blast of discords. An old man was kneeling next to me. The music so affected him that he began to vibrate, and then fell to the floor in a state of complete exhaustion. Out of his pocket tumbled his Old Age Pen- sion check. On the check was scrawled Herb lVlcVey. But then the music over- whelmed me. All I could imagine was some insane idiot playing his rhapsody. I went up to the chancel and saw this mad musician tearing his hair out. lust then, the fantasy so infuriated me that I leaped out of a stained-glass window, bearing with me the memory of that hideous face of Hank fDanielj Brown. MUSICAL CLUBS T WAS Schneck, cry various members of the chorus as Mr. Maclary demands to know who was off key. But we know who it was as we turn around to watch Tom lVlasterson's open mouth produce some inharmonious sound. Tom has been striving valiantly this year to equal CaIdwell's record of last year, and although Tom has made remarkable progress, Muggsy is still head and shoulders above him. George Grier and Ken Doak added color to the rehearsals by scaring Mr. Maclary out of his wits with their sudden pictures of him in action. But, despite these interruptions, much was accomplished under Mr. lVIaclary's expert guidance, and our first concert, which was at Ship- ley, promised to be a success. On the Friday before our leader gave us a little talk designed to keep us from going astray, but he was the one who went astray as a few misplaced words set the boys in the back row howling. The concert was indeed successful, and many voted it the best of the year. Lauer again made his oft-repeated statement, I tell you this is the real thing. During the next week various perfumed letters were passed around, and rumors circulated about a reconcert but unfortunately without foundation. Next came concerts with Ogontz, Abington Friends, and Spring- side, and on March 16th, the Annual Concert. At this final concert the hard work put in by the clubs showed up as they put on one of the best performances of their career. Much crel it must be given to Bob Tarpley who occupied the pianist's seat during these concerts and took the audience by storm with his playing of Iuba Dance. Many tears were shed by the Instrumental Club when Carter McCall left our campus, but under Mr. Pop Leman's expert direction they came through in fine style even without Carter's mellow clarinet. Len Brown and Ted Preston took care of the managerial duties with great finesse, while Beef McCall prompted an uncontrollable here and there when he fixed up the stage in his own inimitable style. Behind the scenes Mr. McVey kept his managers in tow, handled our finances very neatly, and injected a few well-chosen words to keep us follow- ing the straight and narrow. The backbone of the clubs, however, was Mr. Maclary, whose planning, patience, and tireless efforts made such a successful season possible. 42 FAREWELL ASSEMBLY LTHOUGH Farewell Assembly may re- cur with a certain monotony for the student body, as a whole, to each class in succession it is a great moment, for it marks the end of a twelve-year effort, the achievement of a long-sought goal and the farewell to a very happy way of life. We hope that during our years as a class at Penn Charter our record has not been too poor in any field of activity or endeavor. Of this we are certain and grateful that it has been a privilege to be members of a school where stand- ards have been challengingly high and to have enjoyed there a goodly fellowship with teachers and students alike. With sincere and proper regret, therefore, do we take our leave of old friends, but also with proper eagerness do we greet the future. In the situations which lie ahead we will try to achieve, if not grandly, at least in a way which will prove our loyalty to our school and to you. In a sense of need, therefore, we accept your good wishes and extend to you in its most literal and gracious sense, farewell. 45 Bark Row: Mr. Kelson, Donahue, Martin, Mr. Craig. Fran!

Five of these players were in the starting line- up the previous year and the others had had plenty of game experience. All in all, the prospects for the forthcoming season were bright and the possibility of the first championship in many a year loomed in view. Mr. Miller and his assistant, Air. Ralph Evans, immediately started grooming the team for the pre-season scrimmages. Mr. Evans did an excellent job of getting the boys into good phys- ical condition while Air. Nliller taught the finer points of the game. Several practice scrimmages were held with various schools and, although no score was kept, the team showed a definite offensive threat. It also displayed a strong defense against line plays. Wlhen the season opened the team was composed of Bill Smith and Ted Coxe, ends, Frank Decker and Dick Teller, tackles, Norman liloore and Alex Stork, guards: lack Kelly, center, and Tom Fisher, Mill Breiden, Bill Schofield, 'Babe Pearson, Bob Orlcrrann, and George Shiffner playing various positions in the backfield. The opening game with Roxborough High was played on the opponent's field and was lost by a score of 6-0. Although Penn Charter had been favored, they seemed to lack the spirit which is necessary for winning games. Many teams might have been discouraged by the loss. This, however, was not the case with the Penn Charter gridders for they returned the following week to defeat Friends' Central by a score of 26-6. Bill Smith started off the rally when he picked up a lateral pass and ran for a touchdown. From then on the game was definitely Penn Char- 54 ter's. This was the first league game and hopes were stirred for a championship team. The next game was played at home against a strong Central High School team that was favored to win. The previous year the game had ended in a tie score and Central was out to win. As the horn sounded ending the game, the score stood, 19-6, with Penn Charter on the long end. This was a decisive victory and it looked as though the team was beginning to roll. The following week a supposedly superior Cheltenham High team was played in a cold drenching rain on our home field. They also were favored to win and they also lost to the little Quakers by a score of 22-7. Continuing in stride, the team swamped a weaker Bryn Athyn team by a score of 54-14. Bryn Athyn managed to score only when our less experienced second team was in the game. Friday, November 5rd, arrived, and with it our first important league game. The game was with Episcopal, champions of the Interac League for five years in a row. This was our year to win and we intended to do so. In the second quarter halfback Tom Fisher dashed across Episcopal's goal line. However, the score was nullihed because of a penalty. This spoiled our chances to win and the game was battled to a O-0 deadlock. The following Friday was the game with our traditional rival, Germantown Academy. ln Assembly Mr. lVlacCormick reminded us of the previous year when we had been favored to win but had lost by a score of 6-O. The team was determined to retaliate for this and they did, trouncing Germantown Academy by a score of 51-0 on the loser's field. Now only Haverford School stood in the way of our first championship in several years. All week the team was drilled against passes and the T-formation. However, all this was to no avail for Haverford, through superior speed, scored almost at will by means of long passes. Wlhen the Hnal horn sounded the valiant Penn Charter team was on the wrong end of a 45-9 score. Thus all hope for the championship was gone, but, taking the whole season into con- sideration, it had been a rather good year for Penn Charter football. The final tabulations showed five victories, two defeats, one tie, and a tie for second place honors with Episcopal. Special mention should be made of the outstanding play turned in by our three All-Interac stars. These were lack Kelly who also won the Bud Ogden Memorial Trophy, fullback Bill Schofield, and guard Norman Moore. Congratulations should also go to Captain Babe Pear- son for a job well done. 55 Wop Row: Bacon, Bailey, Coach Test, Hepburn. .Uiddle Row: Nlanager Kurz, Butterworth, Geiger, lhompson, Manager Huston. 1'l'0l1l Raw: Crolius, lVlcKinney, Captain Wlilliams, Doak, Cunningham s ogcgc EIR IIE 19-14 soccer season was highly successful with the team finishing the season in third place. When practice started in September, prospects were good with six returning letter- men. They were Captain Herb Yvilliams, lay Geiger, Charlie Butterworth, Bill Thomp- son, Ken Doak, and Toe A'lcKinney. Little more than a week after the beginning of school, the first scheduled game was played with Olney High. The Penn Charter booters lived up to expectations, winning, 3-0. The following Vtlednesday, however, October -1th, the Blue and Gold sufifered its first defic at at the hands ot Lower Alerion by the same 3-0 score. Thursday, October 12th, found the first lnterac game of the year with Episcopal. The Penn Charter team came otifi the field with a 3-e2 victory. On Gctober 19th, the team fought a hard battle against Germantown Friends', but met defeat by a 5' 0 score. Un the 26th the team traveled to the turfless field of Friends' Select, only to be defeated, 4-e0. After Abington High had been defeated, 2-1, the Blue and Gray of Friends' Central fell, 2e0. On Saturday of the same week the team journeyed to Wlesttown School to play a 5-5 dead- lock. The most decisive victory of the year came on November 9th over Germantown Academy, 5e0. Again in a non-league game the team traveled to Aloorestown on the 16th to defeat Nloorestown Friends, 5-1. The final game ofthe season came on November 22nd when Penn Charter met Haverford on a field which seemed more like a lake. One goal by Jay Geiger proved to be a sufficient mar- gin for a victory. The regular starting line-up for most of these games placed Don Bailey in the goal, George Bacon and LeRoy Hepburn at the fullback positions, Bill Thompson, lay Geiger, and Charlie Butterworth at halfbaclx, Ken Doals and Potter Crolius at outside, lack Cunningham and Ioe Dlcliinney at the inside posts, and Herb NYilliams at center forward.

Un Floor: Hillas, Alsentzer BASKETBALL FTER many weeks of hard practice, Coach Taylor put a well-rounded, if inexperienced, five on the floor. The team consisted of Captain Ioe Garrity and Herb Vtilliams at guard, Bill Balderston at center, and George Shiffner, lay Ferguson, and Rod ,llillas at forward positions. Penn Charter's opening game was played on the night of December lst with Signal Corps- Iay Ferguson led the team to a 41f55 victory. Vt'e then defeated two Public High League teams. Penn Charter then ran into some tough luck at Abington when we received our first defeat by the score of 29f21. Next, we were defeated by Central in a close game, 29--27. Overbrook handed us a 55-50 defeat. Penn Charter then regained its stride with a 37-11 victory over P. S. D. The first Interac game was played at home against Episcopal. In a defensive contest we won a 21-15 triumph. W'e then journeyed to Germantown Academy's court. XVe defeated Ilav- erford School in an extra period contest, 52f29. The following Alonday we were again defeated by Abington. Our next game was with Friends' Central who proceeded to hand us our worst defeat of the season, a 44-28 beating. Penn Charter lost a close game to Girard College. The second round of the Interac saw Penn Charter defeat Episcopal in a -1847 rout. XVe again conquered Germantown Academy. The next Friday, however, we went to Haverford and took a 56-55 defeat. As things stood, Penn Charter could tie for the championship by de- feating the highly favored Friends' Central team, coached by Frank Fitts. A victory for them, however, would give them the title outright. VVe defeated them in a thrilling game, 42-40. 57 WRESTLING HIS year's wrestling team, although under severe handicaps, walked off with the cham- pionship in its class in the Annual lnvitation Meet held at Swarthmore College on March 10th. The wrestlers from Penn Charter took top honors in live out of the eleven classes. The winners from our school in that tourney were Matlack, captain-elect for next year, Frank, Edson, Captain Stork, and Decker. At the season's beginning the wrestling team was under the coaching of Iohn Hober. How- ever, Coach llober was forced to resign by the call of business. Fortunately for us Doctor Allen, a professor at Penn, volunteered to come up twice a week and instruct the team. The teamys record as a whole was not too impressive, having won only one meet with St. Andrew's. How- ever, it is to be noted that, due to the lack of participants, our team had to spot every opponent at least ten points, which in several cases meant the meet. But, in regards to individual records, the wrestling team had a record of which to be proud. Among our leading wrestlers were Alex Stork with eight victories against three losses, Matlack with six wins, Frank Schieber with four wins, and Frank Decker who had an undefeated record of eight victories and one tie with the district champ from Abington. All the fellows who won at the Swarthmore meet will receive their major P. C.'s. Other members of the team who reported regularly and who wrestled in a great majority of the meets were Scott, 953 Paul, Hakim, 105, Hamill, Duncan, 127.3 Tiers, 1555 Carr and Van Hest, 1585 Loughran, 145. Congratulations to these fellows for a season of hard work and well-deserved achievement. 58 lfaifk Raw: Pearson, Nlr.

This fact, along with the expert coaching of Air. R. Henri Gordon, undoubtedly contributed greatly to the success of the season. The lack of com- petition, due to wartime conditions, cut down the number of full three-weapon meets on the schedule. The team started off the season by holding the VVest Point plebe team down to a score of 1542. A defeat was scored against Haverford School in foil and epee. ln the annual meet with the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, the team showed unquestionable superiority in epee and saber but lost the meet by one match in foil. The score of 14- 13, more- over, was the lowest to which the undefeated Navy team was held during its entire season. The fencing season ended in triumph with a 15-12 victory over Riverdale School in New Yorlc, which secured to Penn Charter for the second year the three-weapon fencing champion- ship among secondary schools. Special credit is due to the captain, Rodger Cheetham, who scored the largest number of points during the season, and to the runner-up, Frank Smith, who was elected captain for next year. The advice and guidance of Air. Charles C. Richer have been of great aid. 59 Bark Row: Scott, Gulxh, Tolan, Driscoll, Smith, Spencer, Donahue, NValker, Carr, YVoolley. .lliddle Row: Schneck, Whitaker, Hepburn, Fisher, Nlartin, Reifsnyder, Cunningham, Hunter, Barba. I ron! Raw: Irving, Decker, Brown, Captains Bailey and Hillas, Hughes, Swope, Schofield TRACAK RACK, under the able leadership of Rod Hillas and Don Bailey, was very successful. As a matter of fact we were undefeated. The first meet was with Girard College. This we won by a large score. The next week we met Haverford College Freshmen and won easily. Then came the Penn Relays, with Brown, Fisher, Carr, and Hughes running for Penn Charter. Haverford and Friends' Central proved to be speedier than we. XVe placed third. The following week Coxe, Swope, Bailey, and Fisher went over to Haverford School and won the I. A. A. A. Shuttle Hurdle Relays. It was the first time in many years that Penn Charter has won that event. The next week Haverford School came over, and we defeated them, 66 to 55. The last ofthe dual meets took place over at Epis- copal, where we won by not so large a score as we should have liked. Then on Nlay 25th we traveled to Haverford College for the all-important lnteracs. With Don Bailcy's taking three Hrsts and a tie for second, and luke Schofield's taking two tirsts and a third, we won the lnteracs by a good score. The score was Penn Charter 61, Hav- erford 46y2, Episcopal SOM, Friends' Central 24M, and Germantown Academy LLM. All in all, this track season was very successful, and we hope that next year will prove equally good. ' 60 t Bark Raw: Nlr. Yeabsley, Nlanager Park, Shuttleworth, Coxe, Pearson, Nlanager Stout, hlr.

Geiger, Captain Ross, Garrity, Spinlc BASEBALL ARLY in hlarch about twenty-five of Penn Charters young baseball hopefuls began practice in the gym with high aspirations of gaining the lnterac championship. Under the coaching of Duke Taylor and hir. Yeabsley, the team soon began to take shape. Ready to take the mound were Ben Linton, one of last season's starters, and George Shifliner, a newcomer with a good record in the Public High League last year. Behind the mask was Babe Pearson, converted third sacker with two years' experience. Un first base was Ted Coxe, and at second, lay Geiger, both holdovers from last year's squad. At short was Cap- tain Bill Ross, and at third, the dependable Ioe Garrity, who also could take the mound if nec- essary. Bill Spink, in left, Harry Alsentzer in center, and lim Glenn in right made up the outfield, all of these were second-year men. The opening game was an Interae contest at Episcopal. The team managed to squeeze through with a 6f-1- victory in a game featured by Garrity's relief hurling. The next game was a non-league Contest with Yvest Philadelphia which was won easily, 9-3. The next Friday found the team opposing Germantown Academy. YVe lost a close game, 572, all runs being scored in the last inning. The next journey was to Frankford, where Penn Charter won a slugfiest, ll 7. The second league game was lost, this time to Haverford, 5-l. The following hlonday, the team lost a heartbreaking 5-2 game to Central High School. On a windswept Friends' Central field the nine evened up its league record by defeating the opponents, 3-2. The next Friday Linton lost a disheartening game to Germantown Acad- emy in the final inning, 5f2. The team lost to Lower Merion by a score of 15-10. All hope of gaining a first place in the league vanished when Haverford shut out Penn Charter on their grounds, 5--0. The team then rebounded from its slump to defeat an unpre- dictable Episcopal team, 55. The season ended unhappily as the nine lost their last game to Friends' Central, 5-1. The final summary shows a record of five games won and seven games lost. Ut, these, three were league victories and five defeats. Outside the league, the team split even in four contests. 61 Ba A Ro Manager Sage, YVood, Mikell, Hughes, Taylor, Mr. Osgood.

Supported by veteran lettermen Bill Thompson, lorry Yoran, Ioe McKinney and Len Brown, the team ran roughshod over Norristown, Lower Merion, Haverford School, Friend's Central, Germantown High and Simon Gratz, totalling 56 individual victories to our opponents' none. Then after two 4el victories over Wlest Philadelphia and St. foseph's Prep, we received a 4-2 setback by Episcopal. Wle then went on defeating Olney, Germantown Academy, Xvest Catholic, and Central lligh. Penn Charter won 20 individual matches to Episcopal's 193 thus giving us the Interac title. Letters were also awarded to Bill Mikell, Teddy Wood, Bob Taylor, Ted Hughes, and Bob Irving. Dluch praise should be extended to Mr. Osgood who directed the team so capably.

On a bad day and under the worst possible conditions we lost to a St. Andrew's crew at Aliddletown, Delaware. Un Satur- day, Alay 5th, two weeks later, it was another story. In the Stotesbury Cup race of Saturday, Alay 19th, Penn Charter was victorious, beating both St. Andrew's and La Salle. The following Saturday in the Nationals we were unfortunate enough to draw lane 2. With a slow lane and a rough course we lost by a mere boat length to S. A. S. The four, however, which had lost by a traction the week before, came through to win the Iunior title on the 26th. A two consisting of Bow Al Bishop and Stroke Tony Loughran had success, too. Captain ofthe crew, lack Kelly, had unchecked success in all his races. He was victorious in every contest. lim Luscombe was a good captain ol' the eight. 65 'Ir Compliments Of PHILCO CQRPQRATIQN ir Exceptional Qdts Fon Evnny occasion For weddings . . . for Christmas . . . for birthdays and anniver- saries . . . for the numerous casual events to be remembered, a Caldwell gift bespeaks the thoughtfulness and discrimination of the giver.
