THANK you for all that you have done to help us during your resi- dence with us, and I bespeak from you your hearty efforts in your D future careers to add to our debt of gratitude, for after all that the Trustees, the officers, the teachers and the matrons may do to make our work here a success, algreat respons1b1lity rests on our pupils, I and especially on our alumni, The hne reputation of the Williamsoli f School has been made and 15 sustained by the good lives, and ine :,,,, .,,,.,., . 5,331 skill and efficiency of its graduates. I told you on my return from Europe last year that I had seen no trade school there equal to it, S and since then this opinion has been corroborated by Prof. Omer Buyse, a leader in trade school instruction in Belgium, who visited many American schools about two years ago, ours being among the number. In a comprehensive work on the subject he says: f'The Wfilliamson School eclipses all similar institutions in Europe. Dr. Thomas M. Balliet, of the New York University, a leading authority in such matters, wrote me last month: I know of no other trade school in all respects so well equipped as XfVllll211l1SO1l, and I have seen trade schools in Europe and in this country. A great responsibility rests upon you to aid us to further enhance the good results of Mr. WllllHll1SO11,S glorious foundation. l am sure that each one of you can do excellent work in the trade taught him here. The American mechanic in all lines has opportunities as 0'reat, if not Greater than even the so-called professions, offer. With kind regards and hearty wishes for your good health, happiness and pros- Peflty, I femaill Sincerely your friend, JOHN M. SHRIGLEY. President. 9 O C: 2 MR. HARRY S.

To the Class of IQOQ, 4 D-EAR YOUNG FRIENDS: ...V , T is indeed a great privilege and pleasure to have had an import- anlt part in the training of the more than 700 graduates of this My! se ioo . Each year we feel that we have reached the acme of pro- ficiency in our various departments, but each new senior class makes it possible for greater achievements in our work, princi- : : pally I believe from the fact that the intluence of each class upon the succeeding one grows better, and makes possible greater suc- cess for the school. This class has been no exception to the rule, and l am sure will leave its im- press upon its successor. I sincerely trust that you may go out into the active business world, and there apply your knowledge and skill to a useful purpose, and meet with abundant sue- CCSS- ' Sincerely your trieinl, llmntx' S. llrrriniz, .X'11fu'ri11 fe11a'en1'. 10 ,2 p, 5 -v .- i 1 2 S E HOWARD M.

After making the usual number of mistakes due to our greenness-such as inquiring for our spending money and meal ticket, we started forth to strive for success. But, as it is in all cases, there was evidence of the presence of that dreadful and yet natural disease, one which hovers about all Freshman Classes- homesickness. In order to help us overcome this feeling, the seniors tendered us a reception shortly after we entered. It proved beneficial to us by bringing us more in touch with each other and in developing that staying quality-class spirit -which existed throughout our life at Williamson. After the entertainment we retired to the dining room. I-Iere we were given a lesson by the seniors and juniors in how to give a class yell. Although it was our first lesson, I must say we made our share of the noise in giving one which we were proud of. Having become accustomed to the daily routine which was presented to us. we turned our attention toward the event which is worthy of notice, and that was the Inter-Class Meet held june 23, 1906. The freshman class, as a rule, are des- tined to make the least number of points. We did the best we could and died hard. scoring but I7 points. We more than atoned for this deficiency by supplying the different varsity teams with several of our members, which gave us a place in athletics at the school. There were several pleasure trips taken during the early summer but none more wished for than the August vacation. After a month's relaxation from stud- ies we returned filled with a desire to do better. Upon our return WC hgld Om- 18 hrst election and Dad, Lentz was our choice for the one to pilot us through th' remainder of our first year. . Our time was now mostly occupied with the fall and winter sports. We con- tributed several of our members to uphold the honor of the school on the gridiron. Wfhen the basket ball season opened we defeated the juniors in several hotly con- tested games in which class spirit ran high. VVe also played the seniors but lost by a small margin. ' During the latter part of our freshman year the Glee Club and Mandolin Club was organized, and they were very beneficial toward making our entertain- ments successful. It was mainly the efforts of the leaders Reichert and Addis that brought about this satisfactory condition. Our first year having thus passed we advanced another step towards our goal entering our junior year, March 30, 1907. This is considered by all classes to be the hardest term, but which we are glad to say was full of pleasures as well as troubles. There were several of our members who left us at this time either voluntary or otherwise. lfVe sincerely extend to them our best wishes and suc- cess for their future. We were gratified by the showing we made in the annual ,Inter-Class Meet as compared with our previous record, scoring 25 points. Although we were dis- appointed with the number of points we. scored, we were consoled by the thought that we had another chance to win. Drolet was in the presidentls chair to guide us during the first six months of our junior year and Bates succeeded him. Until our junior year there had never been a literary society started, and it was mainly through the efforts of some of the faculty and several members of our class that the project was successful. Groff served as the first president. The principal feature of this society was several debates given through the winter. The first question is one we meet with in everyday life-Resolved, That the most successful business men are not strictly honest. Mumma, Smith, Zook and Hulme spoke for the affirmative side and Printz, Beans, Tomlinson and Kistler upheld the negative. The judges rendered their decision in favor of the affirma- tive side. The next debate was an Inter-class affair. The question was-Re- solved, That the United States should permanently retain the Philippine Islands. MacDonald and Rinehart as principal speakers and Addis and Freed as assistants I9 on the negative side, upheld the honor of our class and were victorious over the freshman class. The most important and crowning feature of our Junior year was our mid- year entertainment held February '27, 1908. In saying that ours was considered to be the best entertainment given in this school, I not only speak for the mem- bers of the faculty, but also voice the sentiments of those who were present. The program was unique, and consisted of monologues and several selections from the musical clubs. The quartette rendered several selections and met with great success. These were followed by a sketch from Dickens entitled The Pickwick Trial, which proved very interesting, and last but not least the Humanophone, the only remarkable instrument of its kind that was ever presented to the Ameri- can public. It was a great success and one which kept every one interested. As a fitting climax to the entertainment we were asked to repeat parts of the program, but owing to conflicting regulations we most gracefully refrained from doing so. However the quartette responded to several invitations, namely-W'est Ches- ter, Chester and Parkesburg. Cn March 28, 1908, we received that long-looked-for name-Seniors! Hen- wood was our first president of this year and Reichert succeeded him. As this is the most important year, we as a class strived harder for the 1n0st we could get out of it, realizing the advantages which it brought with it. XV e al- so hoped to set an example that would be a credit to us in the future, both in class and shop as well as in athletics. As to our being successful, I will leave that to those with whom we came in contact. On May 20th, 1908, we gave a reception to the freshman and reserve classes. A short entertainment was given which was followed by a fitting one in the dining- room. Though not an elaborate affair it established a feeling of good will and welcome to these classes. The spirit with which we gave this was the same as that with which we were received just two years before-a spirit which tended to brighten up our Geezer year. In the Inter-Class meet held 8 ing 0' ' 1 . . . . s 73 P 1UfS Out of a possible IO8, Juniors 17, freshmen 18. lilhs won the individ- ual honor of ou ' - - . , r class, scoring IO points. We broke five standing records, which 'll ' ' . . . W1 80 down ln the history of the A. A. as a precedent. During the baseball Season We Played a series of Games with tl 1 I . by a single defeat. june 20, IQO , we won a decisive victory scor- s ic unc er classes and were not humiliated O After we returned from our summer vacation, we looked forward to the always-welcome privilege of late leave. It is when we got late leave that we felt the importance of being a senior. After being good for a certain period we were granted this privilege on September 12, IQO8. During the football season we were gratified with the showing our team made on the gridiron, thereby enjoying a most successful season. Un january 16, 1909, we were granted the privilege of getting a request every two weeks, which was appreciated by all. In connection with sports our interest was centered in basket ball, contributing several of our members to the teams, and they very materially helped towards making the season a successful one. During the inter-class games which occurred later in the season we held our own against the lower classes. We received many interesting and instructive lectures during our sojourn at Willie which were enjoyed by us all. They were given through the kindness of President shfigiey. I And now we are through. Shall we ever forget the many friends we have made and the memories of the pleasures we have had during our stay at William- son! I feel sure that we as a class have left behind us a record-such a record that in referring to it in after life, we may never feel ashamed of it. My dear classmates, I have done my best in presenting this history. Although I might not have been successful in giving all the important incidents that oc- curred during our stay here, yet I sincerely hope that success, which we all long for, will be acquired by us in its fullest measure.

The good people of Collegeville witnessed one celebra- tion which they will never forget. It was the birth of this fair individual which occurred on july 12, 1889. He at- tended public school up to the beginning of his college career. It was at Chester that Kid became popular with the ladies. It happened this way. Leidy wanted a Merry Widow'l handkerchief and upon entering a store immedi- ately asked a pretty saleslady if they had any of the de- sired articles in stock. The saleslady with much embar- rassment wanted to know what kind of handkerchiefs they were and Leidy answered Ohl they are generally white T guess. After looking over the large display he said I am sorry you have none of the 'Merry Widowls' as T would like to look at them, and he then left the store. H l. turned down at another business place.

This combination of hermit, fisherman and heart smash- er, opened his eyes in Philadelphia, November 7, 1888. His early life was spent exploring his home city. Later he obtained a position at Baldwin Locomotive Works but finding this too strenuous for his quiet disposition, migrat- ed to Williamson where he took up a course in bricklaying. This he mastered at once and spent the remainder of his time fishing. On one occasion he made a very lucky catch.', While fishing in a stream nearby and luck being against him, his thoughts drifted' back to other fishing trips. While on one of these trips he had pulled out an old shoe. Being very fond CPQ of mathematics he soon made an equation which read thus shoe plus brook equals shoebrookf' Tom is an all-round athlete Q Pj. He displays grace and form at basket ball and fine judgment at football. He was a member of the track team often running a mile or so on Saturday evenings.

Rodney', was seen one day with an oil can and a monkey wrench climbing among the shafting in the ma- chine shop trying to locate some strange noise which he had heard. After looking a long time he was nnally told it came from a machine in another section of the shop. He served his class as president during the latter half of his junior year. . VVALTER H.

This spunky kid was born on August 9, 1889, at Harts- ville, Pa., After becoming weary of the farm chores, he came to Williainsoii to learn the machinist trade. Beany 'became proficient at his trade and has been constantly working for an invention by which he can de- scend from the highest altitude. We recommend a heavy anchor and by so doing his struggles will be ended. In his junior year through the iniiuence of Krausse. he made his debut in the f'Media Four IrIundred.', A certain Single Girl exerted her charms over him to such an extent that he made frequent mid-week visits to the neighboring town but always managed to be at school before ten P. M. C?j. Walter can be easily called the athlete of his class. He played on the Varsity baseball three years, Varsity foot- ball and basket ball teams two years and captained the latter very creditably in his senior year. He also served his class as vice-president. 27 WALTER SCOTT BEITENMAN. C Bgfgf'j 1 MT. PENN, PA.

This wise-looking individual first opened his eyes at Royersford, Pa., August 23d, 1889. He-soon grew too large for this small hamlet and moved to Mt. Penn. c Beit entered Williamson to take up carpentering, but spent his leisure time in developing the pretzel busi- ness. Unfortunately for him, his stock in trade was a benefit for the Grafters of First A. Deacon was quite an E. Z. mark among the young ladies and was considered somewhat of a sport. Not wishing to be outdone by the swell Five Hundred, he took a week-end trip to Atlantic City where his fiancee was waiting-for him. It is rumored that he and Schofield will make a life study of the matrimonial question. Scott captained the Cricket Team in his senior year to success. He was a subscriber to Town Talk and in- vested in Passifier. Member of A. R. T. E. Club and the Physician Club. WALTER L. BLACK Q 'Slzeeter j HUNTINGDON, PA.

After becoming tired of the sound of the reforma- tory whistle, he made his escape and landed at Williamson where he decided to take up machinist. Blackie found more interest in the drawing room than at his trade. His aspirations as a draughtsman were hn- ished when at the beginning of his senior year he became gsisftant drawing instructor under the watchful eye of J. We have all noticed since our junior year a change in Walterls manner especially in regard to his conduct in the classroom fwhich we all admirej. Some are inclined to bel1eve that it was through his close associations with the Heckerg but most agree it was the infiuence obtained by his weekly trips to West Chester. He spent much time in the study of Zoology. His fa- vorite animal was the camel He is of medium height and weighs 150 lbs. and can play football when his feet are warm. 28 . . .-. y..ff I CARL VXCQIBQEHRINGER Q Ike j LANCASTER, PA. Ike went to Conshohocken, A fair maiden to see, But, missing his train, At 5 A. M. he came To the school to see 'King B' O what is so rare as a day in junef, This seems to be Carl's favorite quotation, as it was in Lancaster on june 22, 1889 that Carl first realized the wonders of na- ture. Although he was rather a small lad, he had high am- bitions, and thinking that the shavings in his fatheris barber shop were not numerous enough, he came down to Williamson to make more shavings. But finding his trade not conducive to his finances, he decided to improve his prospects by searching for an heiress for his future pardner. Carl was a very capable manager of the Reserve foot- ball team in his senior year. I-Ie played on the Varsity tennis team. Was one of our bassos in the Glee Club, and last but not least he played third base on the carpen- ter nine, in that never-to-be-forgotten game with the bricklayers, playing his position like a professional. Ike was one of our speediest aeronauts. Member of the Grafter's Club and A. E. C. WILLIAM 1. BowLER qmzzy What is that grating noise I hear? Then William said. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I left the monkey wrench somewhere, I-Ia, ha! 'tis in the cylinder. This interesting young man was born March 18, 1889, Frankford, Philadelphia. Passing through North East Manual Qin the front and out the backj he decided to try his luck at Williamson. Bill was an engineer of great skill. At one time he was put on a job of repairing a steam pump. VVhen it was re- paired QPD it wouldn't run. Willie had accidentally left a monkey wrench in the cylinder.

Hail to Dumont's star tenor! This musical prodigy was unearthed at Williaiiison in 1903. Hammerstein has made him several offers but of no avail. Buster', seems to prefer staying with Dumont. Buster was a hustler and very jealous of his work. Qnce when a fellow was examining some of his handi- work he was heard to say let this yere work alone. Although this may sound a trifle inelegant, Brown was a profound scholar and a philosopher of repute. U Buster made quite a fortune in his senior year dealing in oysters. He attempted to enlarge his business includ- ing the sale of fruit. Being unable to distinguish string beans from cherries he gave it up as a bad job. However he has been able to retire -and live in ease the rest of his life. Buster was a member of Izzy the Fly Thief's Gang, also the H. B. L. and B. VV. A. Member of Senior Cilee Club. CHARLES L BURKE C M1's. Bm'kie j This name is ancient so we are told, And the owner cracks Jokes one hundred years old. All the contractors of Downingtown and vicinity had a holiday to celebrate the birth of this old fashioned babe. Very little was known of Charles until he entered the grocery business. He did not stay at this long on account of losing his Udragn with the old lady across the street and therefore he decided to enter Williaiiisoii to learn bricklaying. Soon after his arrival he started to visit Chester and al- though he had been of a very quiet disposition he became noisy and uncontrollable after each visit. He was very much disappointed when not chosen as a member of the Glee Club. There certainly was some par- tiality shown for he had the earmarks of a great tenor. i Cn one trip to Chester he was trapped in the act of fool- lllg' with a Till Some difhculty was encountered to clear him from this charge but he repaid us by forming a partnership with Draper.', He finally bought his part- ner out. Burkie is a M. of C. Member ofthe B. S. O., V. C., and an active member of the Knocker's Clubf, 30 HARRY NN. CLARK Q Spud 'j SCRANTON, PA. This lad with cheeks so rosy Who thought he had good looks, The only fault about him was He cast too many hooks. In reviewing the records of Scranton we find no greater event entered than the birth of this little black haired, rosv cheeked youth, which occured on july 1, 1889, From the very first he was loved and admired by the fair sex. After making himself acquainted with all the young ladies of Scranton, he chose Williamsoii for his next attack. Here he captured them by the scores but never forgot a little miss at home. His superb singing was of great value to the Glee Club and his ability as a whistler will long be remem- bered by lower classmen. He was a very economical angler as he invented some hooks which were everlasting. He was extravagant in other lines as he destroyed several plugs while with us. Played on Varsity baseball and football teams during his junior and senior years. Manager of Varsity basket- ball team during the season of 1908-09. Member T. W. E., B. B. S., and B. S. O. LDNNARD A. CLAYTON CI-Ifickj This boy is a wonder, 'Without a doubt, If you're stuck with a problem He'll help you out. Hick, a son of the soil and a graduate of the farm, made his advent into the world in Buckingham, Pa., May 7, 1888. . Having acquired considerable knowledge by finishing a couise at the Philadelphia Trade School he naturally brought some of it with him to Willie, In both engine room and class Hickl' was the sage of the engineering section. His council was always eagerly sought and taken as an authority. His favorite expres- sion when asked a question would be Don't you know that much yet? Gee whizn was another that would cause considerable comment among his questioners. The only detriment to his lovable make up is his strong beard. It causes him a great amount of trouble when he wishes to go away and only has a short time for preparation. Un one occasion one of his friends kindly remarked Put some talcum powder on it Hick, she will never notice it.', He was very proficient at conduit work and is only sur- passed by Tomlinson and Zook. 3E RQBERT RUSSELL CQLEMAN Q DuitcIvf'j LEBANGN, PA. My best girl lives in Philly And I at dear old Willie , But when Ilm through with college life, Iill take her home to be my wife. Robert Russell Coleman, hot air merchant, hooker, handy man and draughtsman was born at Lebanon on the thirteenth of December, 1889. He came to school to learn the machinist trade, but by his loquacious nature we think it would have been better if he had chosen to be a draughtsman as a preference, because of his ability to make drafts at all times and occasions. Dutch is a willing super and never leaves a chance slip by to do a favor for one of the faculty, as by so do- ing he may secure for himself a better drag In class he asks innumerable questions which he claims are not for the purpose of casting his hooks but a means to gain more knowledge? ? P ? In some way he became acquainted with one of the fair sex of Philadelphia who nearly sets him crazy by her many love letters from Station jf, VVhen she sent him her picture, it affected him so much that he was heard to exclaim Oh fellows! I got a picture of Maggie to-day. He was a member of the Glee Club. GILBERT B. COLLINS CMQIMZJ He kissed his girl at the Upland lane, Then she kissed him, then he again, I tell you itls an awful sight, But it happens every Saturday night. This mass of engineering and work was born in 1889 at Philadelphia, Pa. - 'fColly found Philadelphia rather dull so he decided to take up engineering as a pastime. To gratify this de- sire he entered VVilliamson. Gilbert was pardner to Bowler in the pump exploit. He was very bright in his studies, especially steam and electricity which were a pleasure to him. Mabel's winning ways and fine dress soon establish- ed him as a catch in the eyes of the fair sex. Frequently he visits Chester and Philadelphia to see if his lady love is still at home, finding that so, he will return and tell us of the fine time he had. Collins acquired a place in the senior glee club bv his wonderful tenor voice C Pj. ' Member of Late Leave Society. 32 JQSEPH H. CROSSTN Q Rube j DowN1NG'rowN, PA, Elie Smart, this lad of fame .

Not much is known of his early life, but becoming fright- ened at the enormous size of his home city journeyed to college where he could lead ai quiet life. - Soon after his arrival he took a fancy to music and purchased a fine mandolin. By occasional Q?j practice he soon became quite an able musician. He also has a fine QU voice, and may be heard almost any time singing to the matron. Grandpa,' traveled frequently to Philadelphia during his senior year where he visited a cook to whom he is very much attached. y f'Cy,' did not go in- for athletics but he had several wrestling matches with Bull Durham and in most cases got Bull heated to such an extent that he was easily defeated. He is a fine mathematician and we hope that he may soon shine among the worldls foremost business men. Member of the Mandolin Club and M. of C. ALDEN UIMBY DAVIS Q Kid j PI-IOENIXVILLE, PA. Q Do you know how to scrub, ' You don't? I will tell you how, ' Use soap and water and rub and rub, If you don't there'll be a rowe. This spanking youth was born at Phoenixville on Nov 18, 1888g The Kid's,' highest ambition was to become superintendent of the Phoenix Tron Worlcs, so after com- pleting his public school course .he came to college to bet- ter himself for the position which he sought. Davis owns a watch which he claims is as old as the Revolution, but by its accuracy as a valuable time keeper we are inclined to believe that it was the first product of the Phoenix Tron Worlcs. His statements may be true, but we are from Missouri. One of Alden's favorite pastimes is scrubbing, which probably accounts for him becoming captain of the scrub team in his senior year under the strict coaching and dis- cipline of his matron, Miss Stell. He is captain of the Unkie Gangf, and his favorite song is T Love to Get up Early in the Morning. ? ? ? ? He was captain of the scrub football team of '08 and guard on the reserve basket ball team. He broke the school record by pole vaulting 9 ft. 6 in. 33 S. REESE DROLET Q F1'enchie j Double, double, toil and trouble, If you don't shave, then you'll have stubble. When Frenchie arrived at Stroudsburg on the.2d. of February, 1888, it was a day of rejoicing and jubilation. His boyhood days were spent as a bell boy in one of the large hotels of Mt. Pocono 5 but having higher aims than chasing water for patrons during all hours of the night, he came to VVilliamson to be an expert machinist. UI-7renchie during his junior year visited an old class- mate at Kennett Square. They went out on a straw ride thinking it would be a cheap trip, but when they came to settle up each fellow had to pay five dollars. In athletics his principal sport' was football, although he holds the record of 9 ft. 6 in. for the standing broad jump. He played on the Reserve football team in his freshman year and the varsity in his junior and senior years. The latter year he captained the team, and its suc- cess was largely due to his good judgment in placing his men and his ability to coach them. p He served his class as president and treasurer and was president of the athletic association in his senior year. WALTER WESLEY EISENBERG tulcynj CoNsHoHocKEN, PA. Away we go, singing a song, Up the Schuylkill River, My girl and I-but Consh went along So never a kiss could I give-her! just nineteen years ago from the time this biography is written, january 25th, IQOQ, this big wone was found blinking at the sun in the small hours of midnight. Icy knowing there was an important position on the football team to be filled came to Williamson to offer his services. He succeeded in landing the position of tackle both in his junior and senior years. My was once seen sitting on the bridge, which cross- es the Schuylkill at Conshohocken, with his feet hanging over the edge. He was probably working out the strength of the beams. Why he should choose such a dark night and in company with one of the fair sex to test the beams is what bothers us. Icy says that he has not had his class pin for a year. We hope that he will recover it by Class Day. I-Ie has served his class as treasurer and held down second base on the famous Tin Can Quartettef' Member of Rough I-Iouse Basket Ball Team.

The stork while Flying over Qaks, September 2, 1888, dropped a fine, bouncing baby boy, who turned out to be the forenamed individual. f'Pud', upon his arrival at college weighed 2o8 pounds, but the fast and careless life he has led while with us has diminished his avoirdupois to 18o pounds. joe chose bricklaying for a future occupation and dur- ing his study of this far excelled his classmates. He has a fine record in all the departments, and has the honor of putting up the finest piece of brickwork ever built at Wfil- liamson. Aunt Emmef' his most popular nickname, originated from the protection he offers to the smaller and weaker classmates. Soon after his arrival at college he started to practice with the weights, and by hard practice he won honors with both shot and hammer. Pud played on the Varsity football team for three years, holding down left guard with credit. Played on Varsity baseball team during his senior year. WALTER S FREED QRamj P1-11LADELP1-HA, Pix. Always talking-nothing said- Such were the ways of this young lad, He would talk instead of work and talk instead of eat- Till the habit grew so bad that he talked in his sleep. VValter tells us that in past years there has been but one celebration equal to Fo june 13, 1889. Wfhy? City life being too strenuous, Freed decided to come to Wfilliamson to lead the simple life and to take up car- pentry in his leisure time. He became very proficient at his trade but while sawing a board to a given size he was heard to remark ul have sawed this thing twice and it's unders' Wfeek, and that was on still too short. Ram was the baseball star of that famous carpenter nine playing the position of shortstop. ln the game with the brickies, his inability to hold the ball-he having nine errors in the first inning-lost the championship for his team. Freed served one term as secretary of his class in his junior year. He was a member of the Glee Club, singing bass in that organization. Member of A. S. G. S. and B. l. C. 35 HOWARD M.

' This heat unit radiated into Reading on December 18, 1889, and expanded into hot air. Seeking a larger held for his energies, he blew into Williamson and has been blowing off ever since. Hi never tired of telling of the wonders of Reading, which according to his idea was the 'fHub of the Uni- verse, Qapology to Bostonj. He made quite a hit with the ladies of the vicinity and also of West Chester. On one occasion a fair damsel of the latter place wrote, I like the way your mother dresses youf, Caruso had a good tenor voice and was very particu- lar in the care of it, as he would make daily trips to the hospital to get his throat treated. You could hear him singing almost any old place at any old time. He sang first tenor in the Quartette and Glee Club. He was a member of the Chester Y. M. C. A., Maryland Club and B. S. A. JEROME LONG HARTMAN Q Shadow Q ' COLUMBIA, PA. Some say I was foolish, when on a dare, Kissed on the stage an actress so fair, But I bet a dollar if they got a chance, They would be glad for a kiss and a dance. ' Spring City was honored on February 23d, 1890, when this gigantic young man made his first appearance. Mov- ing to Columbia Shadow became a member of the Kid- der's Club and afterwards was sent as an agent to Wil- liamson. A Besides his kidding abilities, jerry became an experi- enced machinist, which enabled him to secure a worthy position, during the summer vacation of his senior year, at pumping automobile tires at Columbia Garage. Shadow was not much of a ladies' man but yet he did not have the nerve to refuse a dare to kiss a pretty actress on the stage at the Chester Opera House. This looked good to him and since then he makes frequent trips to Chester to try and replace the dare. He is 6 ft.

VVhile there he fell in love with a fair lass and is very much disap- pointed if his weekly does not arrive on time. Wl161'C Shorty', gets all of his meals is a mystery. He is never hungry so the only conclusion we can draw is that he has a drag at the kitchen. If this is true it may furnish some explanation for his frequent trips to- ward the laundry in the evening after study hour but there is some doubt in the minds of many. His bad 'habit is putting his room-mate under the bed. VVhile at his work his favorite expression is I wonder what is the matter with that gosh hanged thing.

HankU becoming tired of working in the tobacco fields of Lancaster County, jumped a freight train one day bound for Philadelphia and when passing the school he got off to see what kind of a place it was.

He first grew long-, then widened out at the top and stopped, leaving his lower limbs rather lank. He was the tallest one of his class. Enamel ,spent a most profitable and enjoyable stay at Williainson, and was one of the most popular fellows in the school. He was always ready for some mischief yet never went too far.

Ducley j Duckie is a fighter, He lights from morn till night, He gets one in the left eye first And then one in the right! Lancaster still survives the shock of that memorable morning, january 28, 1890, when Ducky was proclaim- ed the new addition to the family. Soap proved too bright for his home town and was sent to Williamson to be an engineer. Being very rapid and apt in his work, he soon acquired the knowledge of a good engineer. I i Ducky was helping to clean the auditorium one morn- ing, his soap was taken by one of the fellows and when offered another piece he said I want my own piece of soap or I won't scrub. Although Ducky was a good engineer his constant trouble was the frosting and sweating of the ice machine. Une day this 'fterriblen machine stopped. When asked the trouble he said I don't know, it just slowed down and stopped. It not being in his line to hurry, Charles naturally took very little interest in sports. Member of the Aerial Club. WILLIAM M. HULME Q N1Igge1f j UPLAND, PA. Oh, dear! Oh, dear, said little Bill, It always is this way! If that old 'rod' would chase himself I'd pass my exams to-day. Nigger was found Hoating in the historical Chester Creek, on December 31, 1889. After passing his childhood days at home, he began a tour of the world and finally landed at Williamson where he decided to.remain. His charms secured for him a firm foundation with the fair sex of the neighborhood but he makes regular trips to Upland, where there is someone waiting for him, and to whom he declares he will always remain true. It cannot be said that Bill is of an unsteady frame of mind, but it is true that he resorts to the pacif1er.', This habit was the cause of much sorrowing for him when Mr. B-, met him on the highway puffing on a penny stogie. He should have been a candidate for the baseball team as he was an expert at catching fowls. This boy did not find much time for athletics because there was always too much attraction in Upland: but dur- ing the long winter months he played basket ball and secured the captainship of the Reserve team in his senior year. Member of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs. 40 'rl 'F JOHN E. KRAUSSE Q D0c j EVLKLICK, PA. He treated the ladies all the same, But if the truth be known, . A Media maiden holds his heart, Whom he intends to make his own. On the twenty-second day of December, 1888, a pretty little Dutch babe made its debut at Elklick. After several warmly contested debates it was finally decided to name him john Edward Krausse. Becoming tired of the life at his birthplace, where he had won fame as a baseball twirler, he decided to follow his older brother's example and enter Williamson. Here he starred at once as a baseball player and cap- tained the Varsity team during his junior and senior years. But, Poor John! He has our deepest sympathy. He has been disappointed in his love affairs, and says he will never trust womankind -again. john had known a certain young lady for quite a while and things looked serious, but, one day he received a short note from his affinity which read thus: I am married now. Imagine his disappointment, and the worst is, he has never recovered from the shock. - Member of the Glee Club and T. U. E. FRED MILTON LAIRD, C R0me0 j ALEXANDRIA, PA. , I am the kid that did the trick, Said little Ferdie Laird, I licked a Media wild man once, And never have been scared. The residents of Alexandria take very little stock in the common belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, for-it was on this day in September, 1889, that Charlie was initiated into the world. His earlier days were spent in the capacity as brakeman on a one-horsel' road runn- ing between Tyrone and Huntingdon. Thinking that car- pentering presented a wider field in which to display his talents he entered Williamsoii. During his junior year Ferd won considerable fame as an inventor and discoverer. His best known discovery being a liquid air attachment for bicycle pumps. This he endeavored to demonstrate to the Rod,' during class, but the way the Rod', saw the point caused considerable amusement. Charlie was a member of the B. I. C. and Maryland Club. Received the degree of M. D. in his senior year which probably accounted for his frequent visits to the hospital. 41 CHARLES M.'LENTZ qffnadffp oLNEY, PA.

Crony, being of an unsettled nature was sent to school to learn the machine trade. VV e are glad to inform all that he, by making an important invention for the cold storage plant at Media, ably made for himself the name as a mechanic. His ability as a gunner is of the most worthy note On one occasion, while hunting at Canary lslands, he fell asleep and rolled over the hole of a ground hog while waiting for it to come out. lt takes a ten-foot pole to keep Angular away when he once gets in love. During the Easter holidays of his senior year he came from the land of celery and cabbage to visit his lady love in Media.

This black headed, bright eyed, athletic individual first opened his eyes in Lebanon, October -25 1889. Becoming tired of selling papers and playing baseball he decided to come to college and learn brick and stone construction. He did not think this was enough to occupy his time. so during his recreation hours he could be found mend- ing the rain spouts in the rear of the school building. We believe Dudley will settle in the West after his graduation as he has a large interest in the Ah! Me! Mine l in lndiana. - Charlie made a great mistake when he cameto col- lege, as he should have learned railroading instead Nothing delights him more than to hang around the round house and watch the working of the machines there.

Dick soon acquired a longing to follow in his fathers footsteps and take up engineering. To achieve this he entered VVilliamson. One day during Dick's freshman year, he entered the boiler room and gazed with a puzzled expression at the steam gauges. This expression was noticed by one of the upper class men and he was asked what was the matter. He was only trying to see what time it was that was all. During the last six months of his stay at VVillie Butts developed a desire to visit Chester every Saturday night. There is some attraction but we can only wait for develop- ments. Bill had quite a literary turn of mind, being editor of Town Talkf' a paper which was read by Smith and his classmates. Member of the Frankford Quartette. Member of the Liars Club.

There was much excitement in the village of New Gren- ada when this kid arrived on the daily stage coach on August 16, 1888. He first began to unravel the myster- ies of the dictionary in the country store but finally de- cifled to come to VVilliamson' to better himself for the technical terms to be used in his trade of machinist. Deacon, not being a ladies' man, found much enjoy- ment in remaining at home in the evenings playing par- chesi with grandmother and partalcing of catnip tea. f'Reverend in his freshman year gained much favor with the seniors by narrating to them marvelous happen- ings of Fulton County, such as are connected with the Huckleberry Finnl' or Narrow Gage Railway. He was manager of the best cricket team in the history of the school and likes delicious beverages, hot choco- late being his favorite. 43 7 I I. FREDERICK MCGINNIS ' Q fimmie j NORRISTOWN, PA.

The bearer of this wonderful name made his appearance in Norristown, October 13, 1889. Fred attended the high school of his native town before enter- ing Vlfilliamson. Pickwick, immediately after entering, joined the Sons of Rest. He' was a trifle slow,,but never missed the chance to ask questions in class which were numerous and caused much amusement among the fellows. Rip was the merchant of our class and had more faith in his as- sociates than any other fellow as could be seen by glanc- ing over his trust list. jimmie was an athlete of some renown, and With- out a doubt would have starred as the Varsity pitcher in his senior year, if he had been given half the show some of the more favorite athletes were given. He was a member of the S. O. R., W. A. C. and presi- dent of the Newsboy Association. He played on the Mandolin Club for two years. E. BURKE MACDONALD C Mike, Eats, Charlotte Russevj PARKESBURG, PA.

The cause of all this commotion was the birth of the future ruler of that popular metropolis. 'fHiram', spent the early part of his life work- ing on a farm and going to school alternately. Finding this quiet life did not agree with him he decided to take up va higher course of education for which purpose he entered Willianison. ' Mousie had a very enjoyable stay at college we imagine, as his time is greatly taken up at Chester, the cause of which you will have to consult him. Sticky is a poor shopper, you will have to admit, as on one occasion he was sent by a friend for some steak and was foolish enough to pay the enormous sum of 31.50 for the small amount which he purchased. He was a very popular man in his class, belonging to the T. U. E., Aerial, B. B. S., and B. S. 0. - HARRY C MENOLD QPetej lldILL CREEK, PA. if' Born September 13, 1888.

Pat like Topsy just grew Qso he saysj on june 2L 1889. The nature of his many pranks in Wfallingford be- coming of an ordinary type, he realized the necessity of a change. And to vary this monotony he decided on mak- ing weekly visits to Williamson where he continued his adventurous career. Here Pat,' was often the center of animated groups of geezers who listened in awe, wonder and astonishment to the heroic Pat Irish was an authority on athletics in general and posed as a professor of the pugilistic art.

When it came to politics, r This 'lad spoke every time. Hard luck for the 'Kid- See what he did- He bet on 'Billy' Bryan. This young politician made his debut into this world on August 19. 1889. One thing remarkable about him was that the first words he uttered were a prophecy that Billy Bryan would be elected in 1896. , And he has been a staunchsBryanite ever since. f'Kid is sosmall that the teachers can hardly see him when he hides himself in his seat studying CU. Still he can' hold his own especially when it comes to arguing politics. Ted was the originator of the Teddy Beair haircut in our class and always looked serious when hc was twitted about it. During his stay at VVilliamson he made the acquaint-- ance ofna certain Merry Witlowi' and was occasionally seen going out the main line with his room-mate for the purpose of making her a three week's visit.

Mother spent his early life attending school and do- ing odd jobs about the farm. After finishing his course at public school he chose VVilliamson as the place to finish his education, with bricklaying as a side dish Being well versed in mathematics he had an easy time at col- lege. Like the majority of his classmates he soon became acquainted with a young lady in the vicinity of the school. so his time was greatly taken up with his wooing.

It has always been his ambition to become an artist, but coming to Williainson, his Held in this art extended only as far as the machine shop, his masterpiece being a tack hammer. Printz is an all around 'hooker. His disposition to be so obliging and agreeable around those in authority has set a pace for the gold medal that will be hard to beat. As far as school misdemeanors are -concerned, Printz is right on the job at all times, but somehow he escapes being caught, much to the chagrin of his luckless class- mates. ' Roomy is also a notorious lady-killer and among the most prominent of his ventures are his visits to Norris- town, which, with many letters passed up the table, con- firm our suspicions. He was a member of the Glee Club. PAUL H REICHERT qffTr.rbby p READING, PA.

Abe graduated from high and on coming here he se- cured a position as tutor to one of the teachers. The super happened in one evening as he was expounding a difficult problem to a pupil. After a gentle reminder that the school did not need his services as an instructor Consh enrolled ,as one of the students and was also one of the best. No wonder! Abe served as manager of the football team during his senior year, and a good one he was, too. He was also a member of the Glee Club, P. A., and the able editor of The Mechanic. CHARLES E.

She cried, but all in vain, For he had taken his dainty frau, To see the Homestead game. Anyone .reading the Paoli Daily on February 20, 1890, could not fail to notice this startling head line,- Dropped from the Pennsylvania Flyer, a Bundle Containing a Tiny Babe? This was no other than our friend Leon. At an early age, his parents finding that Leon had considerable talent as an artist and designer, decided to send him to Williamson in order to further his abilities in this direction. He took up carpentering as a side is- sue. Lady is a great admirer of the fair sex. It is rumor- ed that he went moonlight strolling one night with a fair young damsel, and didn't get back until early morning. The only excuse he could offer was that the moon went be- ' hind a cloud and he lost his way. Leon was a member of A. R. T. E. Club, Merry Wfidow Club and Sons of Rest. He was resident physician at the dispensary in his senior year CPD. He also played on the cricket team in his sen- ior year. GEORGE SMITH Q Pessimist j Rube and succor had best beware, Of college widows and maids so fair, Who lure their victims with smiles so sweet, To Media jail across the street. There is one prominent date in the history of Glenside. Pa., and on that day George decided to begin life. George being a husky bunch of material and nature giving him a handsome face soon acquired the habit of hooking. He discontinued this toward the end of his senior year and began to bring forth his abilities. He was a great friend with the ladies. Him and Rube would wander down to Chester or perhaps l'hila- delphia .every Saturday nig'ht, where a young ladv would be waiting for each of them. They would thai 1-L-lm-H and mope the next week. Gwfge, although a good natured young man, would always take the wrong view of things, hence his name of fPess1m1st.j Played first base on the varsity baseball team of 1003 and guard on the Reserve '08 football team.

The greatest and most renowned prevaricator in the wonderful class of nineteen- nine! He has no equal. His bear stories together with his adventures in the jungles of Oxford would put even Ananias to shame. VVe think his early youth must have been spent in practicing these along some meadow brook because they certainly do sound fishy, Terry was always v.ery particular UD about his gram- mar. One day in class he was asked the meaning of the word tutor.'l He immediately replied 'KA tutor is a man who blows a horn ! One day in shop he told one of his classmates to mea- sure a certain board half-way between the middle lu In his senior year he played on the Varsity baseball nine and served as vice-president of the Athletic Asso- ciation.

In very fierce arguments Sam always showed his skillg For even though he was vanquished He could always argue still. On February 15, 1889, this bunch of humanity first tested his vocal organs and they have been worked at a terrific rate ever since. 1 Sam' spent his early life working on a farm and hunt- ing and he can hold an audience for hours with his weird and hair raising stories of his experience in the moun- tains. .The people of his home town soon became common to him and he decided to migrate to a different locality. Guy is an information bureau as far as sports are concerned. Although he knew comparatively nothing of sporting life before coming to college, hardly anyone can ask him a question in that line now, that he cannot answer. Sam was the class politician and was a debater of great renown. His motto is Never give in. No matter what subject comes up he always takes a prominent part. He was a staunch supporter of Town Talk and mem- ber of B. S. O. Played on Reserve basket ball team during his senior year. l RUSSELL P. YQST Q Coach j POTTSTOXVN, PA. His name the same as the great coach, But he was far from suchg Although he played on two school teams, He didn't amount to much. On November 2Qtl'l, 1889, Russell was ushered into life at Pottstown. His early education was received in the public schools of that place. At the age of I7 he decided to make a name for himself in the coaching line, and con- cluded to begin his career at VVilliamson. Coach's first act in this line was in driving ponies in an examination. He was soon able to master this feat with little difficulty. Having much leisure time he spent it in reading Tip Top Weeklies, and in sleeping, which he said helped to pass the time away. A He belonged to the Aerial Navigator's Club and would often take trial trips during class, much to the amusement of his classmates. Russell was able C?j captain of the Reserve baseball team and also played end on the Reserve fottball team during his senior year. Starred as catcher on that famous Carpenter nine.

Alas, my friends, the plan it failed, The Donk got wise and Peanuts got nailed. This implicit youth first saw light in Newville, Pa.,'De- cember 5, 1889. Being of an experimental turn of mind he decided to study electricity, and chose Williamson as his Alma Mater. Ralph's attraction for the fair sex has been conclusive- ly demonstrated, as a number of his episodes which are memorable in his career, can be relied upon. i Peanuts was possessed with considerable nerve, for he was not afraidto walk home from Kensington after dark. His mind may not have been upon the darkness, but nevertheless, he was not thinking of home. During Zookis second year he started a pie and ice cream business, meeting with considerable success. His Media adventure and the swallowing of profits by eating his favorite pie, Qlemonj, deprived him of his business. Orlando has two inventions to his credit, namely, a lubricator that should work by atmospheric pressure and a threadless conduit.

In speaking with graduates, it seems to lk ,x . be the consensus of opinion that Mathematics are not taken up as extensively as the good of the student demands. To a consider- able degree there is room for criticism. Our knowledge of Mechanics and Science as they pertain to our trades, and in fact of Mathematics as a whole, is very limited. Timethat could be profitably spent on these is used for common school work. A good preliminary education is not only valuable, but is a fortune to anyone. An over-sufficiency of it, however, is neither essential nor practical when subjects of greater bearing are in vogue. It has been strongly advocated that the applicant for admission be required to pass an examination covering the grammar school and so do away with many of the present studies. This would give opportunity for branches of more mechanical value. A curriculum comprised by subjects generally found in the high schools, along with our present advanced studies properly dis- tributed over the three years, would give the most satisfactory results that could be desired. Boys at the age they enter are invariably well on in high school and are supposed to be through with the grammar school. The -objection to a move of this kind would probably be that the present students have all they can do to keep up in class. The boy who has stability of purpose, who has a definite plan and who adheres strictly to principle, will find a way to acquire the qualifications requisite for admission in order to prepare him- self for his liie's work.q It is only the man with backbone that counts in any line Of Work! so there really is no reason why at least some change for the better could not be made, knowing that the welfare of the students is at stake.

VV1ll1amson has thc reputation as a 'mflmx hm Shi, IS gwmly. 60 handicapped by these conditions. Witli a higher line of studies the student body would be a purely sifted class. The Alumni Association is rapidly becoming strong and influential. It is to be hoped that they will take definite steps in this direction. It cannot but be ad- mitted that the academic course is inadequate to the needs of the student. Fur- thermore, it requires more preparation for any kind of work to-day than in years past. A more strictly mechanical academic training by competent professors who know the needs of a tradesman would be the means to the required end. VVhen we take the standard of the average tradesman in commercial shops in contrast to our own graduates on leaving school, we can realize the importance of better training in our academic department. With an improvement along the line of the above suggestions the potential value of every graduate would be raised far above its present status. It has been said many times that The best is cheap at any price and that the worst is dear at any price. It would be gratifying indeed to see this principle applied right here. As was before stated, only he who has properly applied the three P's Cpur- pose, plan and principlej can succeed. Let the alumni take action in securing for Williamson a course that will overawe the inefficient student and give her only fellows of ability who shall feel justly proud to be worthy pupils of such teach- ers and worthy alumni of such a school.

Not only do they feel that the year has been the best, '1'1 I . . . . , , but everyone IS inspired and incensed with increased effort for the ..A:1r.- D future. Under the circumstances, little more than editorial men- tion of athletics is required. Of the athletic conditions, however, there is room for not only protracted discussion, but for extended activity as well. The Williamson School students have done great work upon the line of sports. They have established records that are astounding, yet they have never known the advantages afforded by an up-to-date, thoroughly equipped gymnasium. Institu- tions that are merely standing still as far as product is concerned invariably have ideal athletic environments. This would be a boon not only for indoor sports, but to the school. During off time the students have absolutely nothing to do but run around the country, lay about the premises and wait for bedtime. A gymnasium would be a potent factor in keeping the intellect bright instead of letting it become dull and thickened by moping beside the radiator. It would also revolutionize much of the undesirable conduct that is prevalent so much of the time. A The Athletic Association is every year placing a sum in reserve for the build- ing of a good athletic field, a quarter-mile track enclosing a football and baseball field. While we are badly in need of a good track, a baseball diamond is the greatest feature to be considered. The present one is in a deplorable condition. A good quarter-mile cinder track with a nice skinned diamond at one end of the enclosure and a fine gridiron at the other with a commodious grandstand at the side would further not only athletics, but the School also. It is to be hoped the proper persons will make an effort to see what can be done toward the building of a good gymnasium and track. Let it be a slogan from now on to get these very much needed additions, which we are sure would be a source of worthy pride to both School and students. 65 GLEE CLUB miwf. ----- ' K L B i W I ,vg f rjlr , I , , L W' , ., ,ad .

W 'AL 'A At the Junior Mid-year and the Senior Reception to the Freshmen the club rendered several selections in good style, which were heartily received.

The schedule, as in previous years, was entirely out of the class of a team of our weight and standing. But since all first- class preparatory schools flatly refused to play us, we had to accept second-class colleges in order to arrange a schedule. All possible effort was made to secure a game with the Philadelphia High and Manual Schools, but to no avail. Since they offer no excuse for not playing us, we must take it for granted that they are afraid of the XYllliZ'l11'lSO1l eleven. , - W'e opened our season with Ursinus College. Although outweighed ten pounds to the man, our team proved their equal, and would have scored only for an unlucky fumble at the crucial moment. The final score was 5 to 0, our only defeat during the entire season. Ellis and Eisenberg did excellent work in the line, while Schmecks and Drolet starred in the back field. We defeated the Delaware College eleven by the score Of 6 to O, Beans making a spectacular run of thirty-five yards for a touchdown. The only regret of the season is lfVe did not beat P. M. C. Amid the cheers of more than a hundred students the warriors struggled, but were unable to cross the soldiers' line. Final score, 0 to o. Af PC1111i11g'tO11 we played another tie game, but the following week. on our home grounds, we proved our ability by beating them QI to Q. This was Penning- ton s first defeat for four years. V 2 J s It was on October 31 that the eyes of the football admirers were opened to the fact that VVilliamson had a top notcher team. It was then that Medico-Chi's crack eleven met defeat from A Little Prep. School, as they called us before the game. It was then that Williamson first boasted of victory over the medical men in football. Schmeck did the -star playing, scoring all three touchdowns. Drexel proved an easy victory, Winning 44 to o. Reisner starred at half-back. Qur next and probably one of the hardest games of the season Was with Villanova Prep. Although the Main Line eleven were much the heavier, they were both outplayed and outgeneraled. Most of the credit of the victory was due to Clarke at quarter. Score, I5 to o. Cn Thanksgiving Day We played and Won the hardest and most coveted game of the season by beating Muhlenberg 23 to 17. The success of this year's team was due entirely to the able and willing advice of Captain Drolet and the determined efforts of thelentire team. It's my earnest desire that the future teams will win even greater laurels than those achieved by us. i F. V. RINEHART, Manager. Niall, Kp, m f, IA 'ilk ' 4 ,, x - y I ' L1 as A xx .

Our opening game was played with Ursinus College on April 4th, The team entered this contest in very poor shape owing to the inclement Weather which prevented the proper amount of practice. The following week we lost to our rivals, West Chester Normal, by the score of 2 to IQ i We defeated our old rivals, Pennsylvania Military College, and also Girard College, the latter of which is notable by reason of the fact that this was the first victory ever sco-red against Girard in baseball by VVilliamson. Furthermore, in this game Captain Krausse made a record, not only for the school, but for him- ielf, by having ,eighteen strike outs to his credit and allowing the visitors but one it. 76 In the game with Art and Textile, on April 2d, second-baseman Addis showed his pitching ability, winning by the score of II to 6. In closing I wish to urge upon the student body the great importance of co- operation with the management, not only in patronage, but when the call is made for candidates to respond freely and make the possibilities of a Winning team the best. It is unfortunate, however, that graduation will leave but two veterans, but let these two be the nucleus of a worthy Williamson representative on the dia- mond. Enter into the season of IQOQ with that much more ardor and zeal to make baseball even greater than heretofore. Witli this spirit manifested there can be but one resource, and that is success.

Although the ' W R team 1S lighter than those of former years, they play a fast and snappy game. The passing is excellent, the shooting accurate, and our Hoor work has been commented upo11 quite freely by experts. X : ' Beans and Addis, our two guards, play a fast fioor game and work alternately in feeding the forwards. They are both excel- lent on defense. Beans' Held and foul shooting have bee11 a valuable aid to us this season. 1 Bates at center has outjumped all l1is opponents thus far and at the same time plays a good offense and defense game. MacDonald and VVeaver, when called upon, can fill any position o11 the team. We opened our season by defeating Roman Catholic High School, who won the interscholastic championship of Philadelphia this year, and followed this up by victories over Central and Northeast Manual Training Schools. After the Christ- mas holidays we succeeded i11 overwhelming our greatest rivals, West Chester Normal. On account of the absence of our star forward, Schmeck, we lost to Hill School in a hotly contested game. This is our only defeat thus far this season. By defeating VVest Chester Normal for tl1e second time we won the championship for the second successive year. It was the hardest and roughest game of the season, but by brilliant Hoor work a11d shooting we defeated them. 33 l in-9 1Dekuware CoHege refused to yday us,zuui after guuxg on theif Huey Wyre awarded the game by forfeit.

' ' Tn previous years cricket labored under serious handicaps and I Williainsoii was unable to snrmount them. This year, however, after persistent effort, we emerged victors, and have to look back X l i lil'i upon the first successful cricket season at Williamson. The team, which possessed gameness, speed and a powerful bowling corps, not only proved itself to be the strongest, but also the best balanced team which has heretofore represented the school. The batting was decidedly mediocre, but because of sharp fielding we were enabled to win the majority of our games-under the conditions a most remarkable achievement. Inability to bat with effect lost our first game on May 2d to Philadelphia Central High School, score, 68 to 29. Cn May 16th we won our first game from Drexel Institute by the score of 32 to 17, but the week following we were defeated in a weird contest by Haverford College, score, Ioo to 40. On .Tune 13th we divided a double bill with Clifton, winning the first, 20 to 8, and losing the second, I7 to 12. On july 12th and 25th we took victories from the same team, making four victories out ofpseven games played. In conclusion I wish to emphasize the need of greater co-operation between players and the cricket management. I feel safe in saying that with good support cricket would become one of the powers at W'illiamsong so it is of paramount importance that future managements be supported better than ever before. Future 'teams cannot have greater success than I most heartily wish theml , VTAUGHN NICCL.-XI N, rqfdllllglff. S7 w TENNIS TEAM 7-:L i all mf. J tennis ARLY in April an unusually promising number responded to the call for candidates. Of the eighteen all were eliminated except Gold- ' man, MacDonald, Boehringer, Groff and Sharpe. Qwing to the inability of the team to secure matches on C 4455-awww convenient dates the schedule was not com leted however the , P 3 , team has had the unique distinction of being undefeated. Goldman and MacDonald did exceptionally line work in doubles and Goldman in singles also. During September and October a tournament for prize racquets was held. All the Way to the finals it was a close race. The final victors were Goldman and MacDonald in doubles and Sharpe in singles. We most heartily wish success to the teams of the following years, and trust they will uphold the record now attained. I HOWARD M. GROFF, Manager. btbehule West Chester Normal . . .
