It is a great privilege to all con- nected with our Alumni to meet our fellow graduates who love the trades taught them at Williamson and who faithfully execute the duties committed to their care. The privilege of being a graduate of the Williamson Trade School is a thing for which we are to be deeply grateful, and I hope every member of the graduating class of 1917 will join us in making the Alumni Association a wonderful success. I hope that I may have the privilege as president of the Association to grasp your hands as a fellow Alumnus, and trust you will do justice to your Alma Mater. ERNEST R. Rossa, President of the Alumni Association. 4 ibrefate HE Class of 1917 through THE NIECHANIC has endeavored to give its readers an idea of the way in which our industrial and social life is spent at Williamson. XV e hope that in years to come it will be a source of enjoyment to those who turn its leaves and recall familiar faces and incidents that make all students' school days dear to them, VV e appreciate the honor of being a member of the Alumni of the foremost trade school of the world, a school made possible by the foresight of Isaiah Van- sant Vtfilliamson, our noble benefactor, and lifted to its present high state of efficiency by the untiring efforts of the faculty with the co-operation of the student body. THE EDITOR. .ll-fl r Mr. Tllitlilliamsun - Zin Zlppreriatiun HE final test of a man is his contribution to the larger life of mankind. judged by this standard, the name of Isaiah Vansant VVi1liamson will for- ever remain inscribed on the scroll of the world's greatest philanthropists. In common with many men who have risen by the sheer force of their own efforts, Mr. Williamson was born and raised in adverse circumstances. Because of this fact he was able to sympathize with those in like condition. His interest in his fellow man never Hagged during his long, beautiful life of service. To him may justly be applied the title of a lover of humanity. Throughout his entire life, Mr. NVilliamson was a keen observer and a deep thinker. XfVith his remarkable business sagacity, he saw that the prevailing apprentice system of his day was being operated more for the advantage of the employer than for the instruction of the learner. It was his determination to remedy this evil and as a result of many years of planning he founded in 1888 the Wfilliamson Free School of Mechanical Trades. Before this time vocational training had been considered an important element in the curriculum of many schools, but the idea of specific trade training was a new one. Many men of ability declared that trades could not be taught in schools, but the original board of trustees as named in the deed of endowment, comprising some of the most capable men of the day, were in sympathy with Mr. 'Williamson's idea. The records of many graduates have proven con- clusively the accuracy of their reasoning. Thus Mr. WVilliamson may be regarded as the pioneer in a movement which has for its purpose a higher standard of efficiency in the training of skilled mechanics, F ar more inspiring howeventhan any material object is the memorial of an unblemished character. In this respect our noble benefactor has left with us a treasure of inestimable value, a model for the youth of all times. VVhile enjoying the beneiits of his liberality here at lfVilliamson, the example of his life has been a constant incentive to higher motives and it will continue to be a guiding power long after the school which bears his name has passed out of our actual lives and entered the fitfully lighted chambers of memory. To Isaiah V. VVilliamson we owe an enormous debt of gratitude and how can we ever hope to repay that debt except by living upright, honorable lives, and so perpetuate the principles for which he stood!

Q message tn the Glass uf 1917 Ep the ifannurahle isbn wanamakzr, fiijairman nf the Baath of Ulirustzes OR twenty-five years the Wfilliamson School has been trying to build the character of its students as well as to educate them. If there is one thing above another that the world values today it is character. I have always believed a man's character was something in a Way sacred to that man himself, and I find on looking it up in the dictionary that the word character exists with practically the same meaning in nearly all lan- guages, and that it is a very old word that in the earliest times meant a mark engraved or cut into stone or a plate of metal or some other enduring substance, so that it would remain there and could not be rubbed out. And this is the way with the character of a man. His reputation may be this or that or what people think of him, or what people say about him 5 his repu- tation may change from good to bad and from bad to good, and his reputation may be an altogether mistaken estimate-but his character is different. His character is the mark, the impress, the absolute individuality engraven into his life which does not change and cannot be rubbed out. I think there have been a great many innocent errors niade with regard to the meaning of the word character, An employe going from one master to another used to be said to take with him a good character, when what was meant was that he was taking a good reputation. The difference is that the character of a man is what he makes of him self, and the reputation is what other people make about him. ' A man's character is generally made in the first twenty years of his life. To some degree it is iniiuenced by his associations and environments, to some degree perhaps by heredityg to some degree by education. But all of these are only small influences compared with the measure that a man's own definite purpose, his own will, his own clear sight of right and wrong, his own physical, and especially his own moral courage have in the determina- tion of what his character is to be. Let a young man come finally to accept, and realize, and estimate at its true value the fact that his life is bound to be of his own making and that it can be, in spite of all doubters and objectors, just as great a life as any life, if he is determined enough about it-then he has formed for himself a character that will carry him far. The first thing in his business life is probityg the first thing in his domestic life is sound. affection, the first thing in his spiritual life is an unswerving belief in the inspired XN7ord of God and the value of his own soul. JOHN WANAMAKER ro A I Given such a man as this so equipped, then instill into him a desire to be of service to the world-and there is nothing that may be denied him, he'll succeed. Take the first road to the right and do something will be the quest of his knighthood. But let a young man grow up failing to believe in himself, with a vague idea that things will come out all right, with the confidence that friends will see to getting him a place, that relatives will support him in business, with the idea that he maymake a lucky fortune by speculation, and with the disregard of the importance of his own manhood-and the character engraven on that man's soul is but a smudging blur that means little or nothing. He becomes a mediocre mechanic, clerk or business man, a11d throughout life may be heard complaining that he hasn't been given the proper chance, but he never gives the true reason. It may be any one of these dozen of little things that are not little things: 1. He forgets that his worth is manifest by what he produces. 2. He finds excuses for NCT DOING, instead of finding ways to DO what should be done. 3. The world goes ahead in almost every direction, and he keeps on the humdrum turnpike where somebodv will have to pay the tolls. 4. He is not observant, accurate or thoughtful. 5. He is sailing by the broken compass of chance. the rice He flatters himself by viewing himself in his own mirror, instead of with others that have passed him in 7. He thinks nobody notices that he has fallen behind. V 8. He does not love his work as he expected when he began, and therefore his enthusiasms have been lost. 9. He puts off too many things until tomorrow. 10. He is unconscious of being idle much of his time, and lets the day go by lacking results he could have attained. i , 11. His lack of thoroughness blocks leadership. 12. However honorable, he fails to realize that his example affects others. I Let young men, forming two characters for themselves, learn to step forward with a clear hand and use their will power early in the morning of life. Let them never forget for an instant that earners must first be learners, that yesterday's best will not be accepted for today, that his incapacity brings defeat, and that an earnest application of his intellect, whole-heartedness, continued industry will in time take some prizes. II P RESIDENT ly t Ulu the Members uf the Mass uf 1917 MY DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS: At this season of the year those of us who are interested in the training of Williamson men look forward with considerable interest to the time of their graduation and wonder what the prospects for employment and opportunity will be for the men about to leave. The first question in the mind of an employer is, What can you do ? The reply in all cases should be, Fulf1ll all the require- ments of the young mechanic. This in turn should be backed up with a deter- mination to make the best of every opportunity offered. During these unsettled times very abnormal rates of compensation are being offered, and naturally appear attractive, but l would very earnestly urge you not to be mislead by them, but to seek a permanent opportunity at a substantial rate of compensation. Please do not misunderstand me, as I fully appreciate the value of money, but I also appreciate the fact that success, based upon a money valua- tion alone, has indeed a very limited margin of merit. Your training should tit you for a rational analysis of the situation and enable you to make a wise choice, and after having made it sustain it by close application and attention to business, with proper thought for your employer's interest con- stantly in mind, which, in all cases, gives reasonable assurance of success in the broad application of this term. The success of Xlfilliamson men is never greater than my most sincere wish for them, in which you, as members of the Class of 1917, most generously share. Very truly your friend, HARRY' S. BITTING, President. Ia Haut Jfuture HREF. years ago the members of the Class of l917 'entered VVilliamson School for the purpose of learning a tradeg the period of apprenticeship is now past, and you should have in your possession the elements of a good industrial pursuit. It is time now for you to ask how you are going to use this trade 5 the answer ought to be that you will use it in such a way as to benefit mankind, if you use it in this manner you will reap the greatest reward yourself. There are some important details that arise in connection with this broad use of your trade, and one may well ask how he shall apply his knowledge and skill as suggested, so I will give a few words of advice which I trust may be helpful. Above all you must like your calling, because if you do not like your calling you cannot put into it the necessary energy, and a man without energy is of very little help to the worldg this liking a calling does not mean that your work must be play to you, for it will not he such if you are a real worker. Liking your calling means getting enjoyment out of the accomplishment of the tasks which you find in following it. To get this enjoyment you must constantly strive to make yourself a better workman, considered from the standpoint of production as well as. the standpoint of qualityg you should study the methods of master workmen that you may improve your own methodsg you should read descriptions of work done by other men who are engaged in your line of work so that you may compare your own practice with theirs and make improvements if necessary. . Always study your business in JAMES A. PRATT advance, so you are at tall times a little ahead of the job you are Membef QgiffjfoiogsfffqaffniilgagigfofngiHWS holdingg thus you will gain the reputation of beinga man abreast of the times. If you like your business, if you keep up with the march of progress. and are fair in your dealings with others your future will -be bright g a young man's future rests almost entireiy with himself 3 he can make it what he will. If the motive of his life is strong, helpful and worthy, as suggested in these few lines, he will have a useful life, and a useful life brings the greatest joy. So in planning the future make usefulness one of your great aims 5 thus you will serve mankind and yourself. ' I I would extend to the members of the Williamson Class of 1917 my hearty wishes for success in the world of 111dl1Sf1'y. Sincerely yours, JAMES A. PRATT.

Ly'rLE I8 HE accompanying comparative wage earning diagram was pre- pared by the late James M. Dodge, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Link Belt Engineering Company. It graphically illustrates the great advantage the school-trained men have over shop-trained apprentices, par- ticularly the school-trained men of iVil- liarnson. This diagram was prepared without a knowledge of the management and was used by Mr, Dodge at the Com- mencement exercises in the Spring of 1903. Since then this same method of comparison has been made by many schools and colleges throughout the coun- try. ,In its preparation Williamson grad- uates were used in comparison with the shop-trained men and as usual played an important part in originating this desir- able scheme of comparative presentation.

The object of the course here is to prepare young men for the many positions that are now open to those who have a good practical knowledge of agriculture. For a student to receive this practical training in agriculture it is necessary to have enough tillable land to suit the need of the live stock, well planned farm buildings, a complete equipment of modern farm and dairy machinery and well-bred live stock. The school farm includes two hundred and twenty acres, about eighty acres of which is tillable soil, the remainder being in campus and wood- land. A large portion of the school farm is devoted to the raising of ensilage corn, wheat and garden truck. The VVells' farm of sixty acres has been leased for the last two years and has yielded a good variety of wheat, corn, potatoes, etc. ' The farm buildings, of which there are twenty-one, consist of dairy, barn, piggery, poultry buildings, Creamery, horse barn, calf barn, green- houses, hot-beds and agricultural laboratory. The latter includes class- rooms, chemical laboratory, office, locker room, shower baths and repair room for machinery and exhibition work. . Our farm equipment of machinery includes a I. I, Case 10-20 H. P. gas tractor, which is used for all purposes on the -farm, as plowing, har- . rowing, disking, threshing, silo filling, etc. Several other machines, includ- . - ing the check-row, cornfplanter, threshing machine, double disc harrow, De Laval steam turbine cream separator, a Sharpless suction feed hand separator, Sharpless clarifi er and a canning outfit have also been added to the equipment. Animal husbandry is divided into four departments, namely, dairy, swine, horses and poultry. The dairy consists of pure bred Holstein-Friesians, jerseys and Ayrshires. The Holstein-Friesian herd is headed by Sir Fairview Korndyke's Darkness, No. 105917, a young sire of great merit, who stands among the leaders of the breed. Golden Ferris' Son, No, 78687,-.heads the-Jersey herd and is a wonderful sire of proven worth. Brown HARVEY R. BURR Instructor in charge of Department of Agriculture 20 Kate's Grandson, No. 16821, is the head of the Ayrshire herd and is a very promising young sire. With these three great sires to lead the way we expect in a few years the herd to be one of the best in the country. I w The swine department consists of two breeds of swine, the Berkshire and Duroc jersey. This department is gaining very rapidly in popularity. The horse department consists of nine work horses, three of which are brood mares, four Colts and a saddle pony. All the horses are of grade Percheron breeding and they meet the requirement of farm-very well. The poultry department is already well known for the quality of its breeding stock. The department has a large collection of prizes won at the various shows. In the spring of 1916 a graduate of '15 was selected to assist in the poultry department and a '16 graduate to assist in the dairy department. These men meet the demands, 'as they have had a good academic course in con- nection with the practical training required to teach agriculture. ' Last fall an opportunity was offered to the students to take a trip to Springfield, Mass., where the National Dairy Show was held. WVhile there we had the privilege of seeing the best dairy cattle of all breeds in the World and the most modern creamery machinery, also of observing ways of handling milk in the most sanitary manner. This year we had the first live stock judging team to represent the school since the course of agriculture was started. They had a very success- ful season, always' bringing home their share of the prizes. At the Devon Horse Show they made their first appearance, where they were in com- petition with Pennsylvania State College, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, Rutgers and Deleware Col- lege, and succeeded in capturing the second place trophy, a silver cup and two medals. The course has been carefully outlined, cover- ing a period of three years. During the Freshman year the regular academic work, which is given to all trades, is covered and also the studies of botany, agronomy and soils, The mornings are spent in the class rooms and the afternoons are spent on general farm work. The Junior year is devoted to the regular aca- demic work and the study of feeds, breeds of live stock, veterinary science and farm machinery and motors. The mornings are spent on the farm and the afternoons in class work. K , i ' SENIOR AGRICULTURISTSI 2I In the Senior year the entire day is spent on the farm. Each Senior has charge of a different department cov- ering a period of four weeks. The posi- tions are as follows: Inspector, farm mechanic, teamster, poultryman, dairy- man, assistant dairyman, creainery man, swine herdsman, gardener and green-house man. Classes are held two nights a week and lectures are given by Mr. Burr on the subjects of farm management, parliamentary practice and rural law. Two nights a month are given to the members of the class, who talk on the subjects of farm tractors, draft horses, Creamery machinery, farm buildings, drainage, dairy equip- ment, artificial incubation, gardening and water-power on the farm. One night each month is given to the work of the 'Williamson School Agricultural Society, the members being the grad- uates of agriculture and the members of the Senior Class. . . Several trips were made to neighboring farmers during our Senior year. VV e also attended fairs, live stock, grain and poultry shows, institutes and plowing demonstrations with gas tractors: l ,The success of the graduates has proven to the members of the present Senior Class that if we shall have made the best use of our time while here we shall have no difficulty meeting the demands in the agricultural field. In behalf of the Class of Agriculture of 1917 I wish to thank Mr. I-Iarvey R. Burr, our instructor, and Mr. john Sheerin, the Farm Superintendent, for the interest that they have shown in our development during our apprenticeship at Williamson. VV- EARL ENGLAID JUDGING TEAM 22 igritklaping Eepartment T is thought by many that bricklaying is a trade which cannot be taught in a school. It is, therefore, my aim to give a short account of the way it is taught here at Williamson. Upon entering the school few of us had a very clear con- ception of what is required of a bricklayer and of the opportunities of the trade. ' From the beginning it was the purpose of our instructor to create in us an interest in our work. To do this it was only necessary for him to tell us of the success of many of the graduates and it was not long before we partially realized the desirability of the trade. The first few weeks were occupied in learning the uses of the trowel, spreading mortar, slaking lime, and making mortar. After learning the use of the trowel fairly well we started to build four-inch walls in stretch- ing bond, after which we were advanced step by step to thicker and higher walls built in the various bonds. These exercises, called bond exercises, varied in thickness from SZ inches to 252 inches. Following the bond exercises were the formation of flues by corbeling, the buiding of several kinds of chimney tops, also SM-inch and 13-inch house walls with window frames for practice in building them in properly and bringing full course of bricks level with tops. The next step in the course was the introduction of arch building, starting with simple segmental rollocks, having a small span, and followed by heavy arches with larger spans. Various kinds of cornices were then Josepn H. ELLIS built with interlacing, Gothic and semi-circular arches. From time to time Insffumf in Chef-se Of Department of throughout the course we built walls 50 feet long and longer, to acquire B ' kl ' . . nc aymg speed and to become accustomed to working with a gauge. In our Senior year we received considerable practical experience in house Work as we built several single and double dwellings one story high. These exercises involved the locating of plumber's chases, placing of furring strips, jamb blocks, washboard blocks, window frames, etc, Sev- eral designs of fireplaces were built, using red. Pompeian, and red rough-texture bricks. Exercises involving the setting of boilers were built in red and fire brick. ln addition to this we received considerable practice in repairing the furnaces under the boilers in the heating plant in use by the school. Much time and attention was . 23 paid to buttering work and we built several buttered exercises of white enameled brick, Pompeian and red brick. As an efficient bricklayer should have a good knowledge of concretmg we received much instruction in its use, the proper proportions of the materials used, the proper mixing and handling of the concrete, and the plac- ing and finishing of it. in our Freshman and Junior years we gained much experience in concrete paving by put-- ting down pavements around Second A and Third B cottages. We also put down a curb and gutter along the drive to the station and on both sides of the drive to the President's house. We acquired a good knowledge of street paving by paving the drive along the shops, to and around the kitchen, and along the east side of the Main Building. In our Senior year much experience was obtained in the erection of a new foundry for the school's use, which included the setting and lining of a cupola. Instruction is given on each exercise before We start it, attention being directed to the main and new feature of the exercise. Short shop talks are given each day in reference to Work to be done, and errors made the pre- , ceding day are discussed. We receive 4 instruction in the making and reading Q I' of drawings and blue-prints. Thus we are able to go about our work in a more intelligent way. All exercises are built from drawings after explana- tion of same has been given. We are also taught estimating which includes stone, brickworlc, concreting, and plastering. In closing, I wish to say in be- half of the bricklaying division of the Class of 1916, we extend to Messrs. Samuel H. George and joseph H. Ellis our many thanks for their thor- ough instrnction and interest in our progress during our stay at VVilliam- son. Ji. SENIOR BRICKLAYERS 21 VICTOR G. COLLINS Instructor in charge of Department of Carpentry Qllarpenttp ARPENTERING plays a very important part in the construc- tion of a building of any kind. - If one carefully watches the mechanics on any job he will notice that they can be divided into two distinct classes. One works with his hands but lacks the mental training which would enable him to advance to a position of responsibilityg the other has trained both mind and hands and has been selected to direct the operation. To produce mechanics who will reach the pinnacle of success' in tue commercial field is the aim of lNilliamson School. - Mr. Collins, the instructor in charge of this department, is the one intrusted with the responsibility of turning out mechanics who will fuliill the demands of the industrial field. Mr. Collins began in the early part of the Freshman year by teaching us the fundamentals of the trade. Our lirst instructions were on the use, care and handling of the different tools. We next put some of our newly acquired knowledge into practice by starting a series of exercises. These exercises were so arranged as to enable us to come in contact first, with the simple joints, and later, with the more difficult ones. By the time these exercises were completed we had become thoroughly acquainted with our tools, which is one of the very first requisites of any trade. In the latter part of our Freshman year our time was occupied in making desks, chairs and other pieces of useful furniture, and in doing the small repair jobs about the school. A . We took care of the larger repair jobs in the early part of our junior year, and in so doing got our first experience in construction work. Wliile helping to build an addition to Mr. Bitting's house, we obtained practice in setting j oist and porch columns, laying flooring and bridging. Stair build- ing, which is out of the question with the average carpenter, was under- taken in this period. To this end we erected a set of winders in the pattern shop, which will give a good account of themselves. Although the erection of concrete telegraph poles is a little out of the carpentering line, our experience in this work has taught us to handle more easily jobs which are a bit awkward and- clumsy. The 25 above mentioned work and the hardwood Hooring put down in Mr. Pratt's house enthused the fellows consider- ably and they took a much greater interest in their work. In the latter part of our junior year we encountered the more difficult repair jobs, while practice with the architects' level gave us experience in an entirely new and different line of work. For the 1915 commencement exercise we framed a hip and valley roof. All the lengths and cuts of the hip, common and jack rafters were obtained with the steel square. Building cornices, shingling and putting on gutter poles were also encountered in building this exercise. Q The early part of our Senior year marked the beginning of one of the most important periods of our stay at VVilliamson. This period may be so classed because of the large amount of practical work we did. Mill work and con- struction work were both done on a large scale. The mill work consisted chiefly of making doors, door jambs, sash, window-frames, moldings, trim, etc. This work also gave us a great deal of practice in setting up and taking down the different molding machines. Putting on hardware introduced to us a somewhat new line of work. Although the fellows had done very little of this work previously they held up their end fairly well by consulting the notes which had been given us in our shop talks. In the last half of our Senior year, prior to entering the commercial field, WP were given a great variety of work. A window in each cottage was taken out and in its stead a doorway was built, which will open out on a fire escape. In this particular instance the fellows were given an opportunity of showing their speed and skill in fitting and hanging double doors. The making and fitting of sash, putting storm doors on the cottages, putting loft type of roof on foundry, build- ing a new set of winders in Mr. Sheerin's house and laying a new maple flooring in the auditorium were some of the other jobs done during this period. For a commencement exercise we built a section of a modern dwelling. On the outside was a porch and the inside was divided into a living room, dining room. kitchen and laundry. In the living room was a colonial open string stairway, while a colonnade stood between the dining room and living room. During our Senior year our shop notes consisted largely of estimating, blue print reading, constructional super- intendence, building code and laws, factory construction, reinforced concrete and hollow tile construction. To Mr. Collins, our very capable instructor, we all owe a debt of appreciation for his kind interest in us. ALBERT G. BENNER 26 ai SENIOR CARPENTERS - ,L ' . B ac . SENIOR ENGINEERS p Qtngineering Bepartrnent V. LeROY RUPP Assistant Director and Instructor in charge of Department of Operating Engineers. HE engineering course as given at XfVilliamson is not a collar and necktie job, but a good, straight-forward course in mechanics, plentifully sprinkled with good hard work. F rom the time the student first enters 'Williamson until he leaves, there is one central idea driven home again and again, good, honest and efficient work. The first six months of the student's course is spent in the machine shop, where he learns to chip and file accurately, and to handle lathes, drill presses, shapers and other machines. This training is given him so that he may be able to make his own repairs on broken parts of engines or machines upon which he may at some future time be working. In the lat- ter half of his Freshman year the student goes to the power plant to get his real start upon his life's work. At first he is given the minor jobs and sent out as helper with upper class rnen. ln this way he gradually familiarizes himself with the mode of procedure on different jobs as well as with the names of different tools used. , VVhen he enters his second, or Junior year, his duties and responsi- bilities increase, and the student finds himself depending more and more upon his own resources and ingenuity when encountering the more difficult jobs. This year the repair work is done almost entirely by second year men. Each week there is appointed an assistant engineer, whose duty it is to inspect daily every building on the grounds and report and have repaired any defects in the lighting, heating or water systems of the respective buildings. In this way a permanent record of all repairs, no matter how small, is kept, and if at any future time more trouble occurs in the same building the repair log, when checked up, will show whether it is new trouble or old trouble breaking out afresh. If it is the latter greater pre- cautions must be exercised when making the repair this time so as to insure a permanent job. In this year the subjects of steam from I. C. S. handbooks, and direct current electricity from Timbies 'Elements of Electricity, are taken up as shop studies. These are studied in addition to the work of the general academic course. 28 In the Senior year the studies and work become much more complicated and it is in this year that the real testing of the student is done. He is thrown almost entirely on his own judgment and is marked according to the way in which he handles any emergencies that may arise. In fact, the instructor gives each student several tests, at times unknown beforehand to the student, to see how he will act under certain emergency eases requir- ing a cool head and quick thinking. These tests are given by the instructor, who purposely disables an impor- tant piece of machinery without the student's knowledge. The student is then required to locate the trouble, repair it and put the machine in service as quickly as possible. He is rated according to the manner in which he handles his job, and on the speed and thoroughness of his work. The Work in the Senior year consists of handling the power plant and auxiliaries, repairs to electrical appara- tus, such as wiring, armature winding, motor and rheostat connections, and repairs to generators, boiler tests, Hue gas analysis, oil, testing, steam engine tests, taking indicator cards and computing steam consumption per 1. H. P. hour from same. The study of altemating currents, hydraulic elevators, advanced steam studies and other sub- jects are also taken up. The power plant at Williamson consists of a 1Ox16x12 vertical compound steam engine, direct connected to a 50 K. W. 115 volt D. C. generator, a direct connected 55 H. P. De Laval turbine to a 35 K. W. 115 volt D. C. generator, a 9 K. W. 115 volt D. C. generator belted to a Westinghouse Standard engine, a 15 K. W. 110 volt 3 phase aternator belt-driven and a 5 K. W. rotary convertor. This energy is controlled and distributed by a com- plete set of switches, voltmeters, amrneters, indicating wattmeter, voltage regulators, automatic and hand, on the direct current side, and by switches, voltmeters, ammeters, indicating wattmeter power-factor indicator, synchro- nizer, synchronizing lamps, mercury arc rectifier and rotary converter on the alternating current side, all mounted on a suitable switchboard of marble panels. ' An Ingersoll-Rand 8x8x8 air compressor supplies compressed air for the automatic valves on the heating sys- tem, air-lift wells, and pneumatic tools used in the various shops. A York 6-T vertical, single-acting, steam-driven ammonia compressor with condenser, brine tank, ice molds, circulating pump, and refrigerators with brine coils comprises the refrigerating system. The water supply is obtained by means of a 4x6 triplex pump, chain-driven by a motor, a 6Mx8 triplex pump belted to a 15 H. P. Otto gas engine, a 7Mx4Mx6 duplex steam pump, taking steam from a vertical boiler, by air-lift wells, and by a Deming deep-well pump, pumping from a newly driven well. From this it can be seen that the Williamson engineer should be thoroughly versed in nearly all branches of mechanical engineering, and I, in behalf of the Class of 1917, wish to thank Mr. Vernon L. Rupp, our instructor, forthe praiseworthy manner in which he has Worked to have each of us become a successful engineer. ' Louis E. Davis. 29 S fillatbine Hiram: HE boy who enters Wfilliamson to learn the machine trade has a wide and varied course before him. The boys, or apprentices, as we are called in the Freshmen year, spent four hours each after- noon in shop, fifteen minutes ot which was taken by the instruc- tor, who gave us a lecture on the details of the trade. Our hrst work was very elementary. It consisted of three exercises, wherein plain chipping, Hat filing, draw filing and polishing were taken up. Here we also learned the correct useof a ball-pien hammer and how to grind cape and broad chisels correctly. These exercises were completed by the average boy by the end of September. Naturally our ambition was to be able to operate a machine, but we did not gain that privilege until after we had had work in scraping to a bearing, lapping, soldering, key-making and other work which required a greater degree of accuracy. Here we also learned to read the micrometer and vernier calipers, which are measuring instruments of very fine gradua- tion, it being possible to determine dimensions as small as .OO1 . Wlien we had become experienced in these phases of the trade we were given an outfit of lathe tools and put on a lathe. The instructor explained the details of this machine to us and then gave us a simple job, usually a facing or simple turning job. Xhfhen we had shown suf- ficient ability in these easier lathe jobs we were given work which included taper turning and threading. Near the close of our Freshmen year we were also given work on the drill press and some simple work on the miller. W'hile on the drill press we gained a fair knowledge of clamping FREDERICK W. SNYDERV work on the table, and of grinding a drill properly. In connection with Instructor in charge of Department of this shop work we also spent two days a month in the forge room, where M11C11i11efY- we learned to temper our tools by the color method. Later we tempered them in oil and denoted their temper by degrees of heat in oil. At the beginning of our junior year we started out with a different outlook, as we now began to realize the importance of getting as much as we could from our course. Each morning we spent three and three-quarter hours. in shop, and as in the Freshman year, fifteen minutes of each day were spent in taking notes. Our machine work this year consisted of different jobs on the slotter, vertical boring mill, and all lathes and millers. Wliilei on the milling machines we had to calculate for setting up gears to cut the teeth on different gear Wheels as well as gears needed for Huting twist drills and reamers. r . 30 Our last lap, the Senior year, we considered the most important of our stay here, as it is during tl1is year that we were given the best jobs, The first four months of this year we spent four hours of each afternoon in shop, and instead of taking notes we had class room instruction for three hours on Saturday morning. After summer vacation we went to shop all day. This is when the fellows began to show their skill and ability, because they put their whole time and interest on their shop work. During this year our work was varied, as we got work or jobs on every sort of machine and also advanced work on the bench. We got all sorts of grinding jobs on which we were allowed a limit of but .OO01 , as well as planer workjturret lathe and horizontal boring mill work. WVe were again put in the forge room for a short time to learn the use of the different furnaces, namely the muffler, case-hardening furnace and lead bath. During our stay here we have made the parts for and have built or assembled the carpenter shop joiner, made practically all the construction work for the foundry cupola, designed and machined all the guards about the place, made parts for and assembled the gear hobber, besides making all the tools. In behalf of the machinist section of the Class of 1917, 1 wish to express our thanks to Mr. Fred Snyder, who has not only been an untiring and thorough instructor, but has also been our ideal of a -true alumnus and a good man. Much credit is also due to Mr. Bloom, of the 1914 Class, who, as a post-graduate, has given us much help. VVe wish great success to the class that follows us. May they further the name of Williaiiison and help to keep for her the title which she now holds, The Premier Trade School of the 'Worldf' I. 1'1ERBERT WEIKEL. SENIOR MACHINISTS attern Making ann jlltluulhing HEN the average man notices the complicated machines which are necessary to fulfill the needs of the world he seldom thinks of the essential parts which the pattern-maker and molder have in their completion. At VVilliamson we receive not only the theoretical ideas connected with these trades, but also the practical methods, therefore do We not seem to be of more value to our future employers than those who learn their trade as the average pattern-makers' apprentice? Our pattern shop occupies a part of the second fioor of the main shop buildings and is 150 feet long and 30 feet wide. VV e appreciate the efforts of those in authority at our school and especially the time and labor of our instructor in having the shop so well equipped. VVe have benches to accommodate twentyeiive workmen and most of these are equipped with the Enimert type of vises. Our shop machinery consists of an eighteen- inch planer, a combination circular rip and cross-cut saw, a band saw, a large extra heavy Oliver lathe, two small direct motor-driven and four small belt-driven lathes, two trimmers, two grindstones, asixteen-inch jointer, a sanding machine and an oil grinder. The last three machines mentioned were designed by our instructor and finished and assembled throughout by students. Having a shop so well equipped and with such excellent light and ventilation, we find it pleasant to spend our time in working at our trade. It was during our stay at Williamson that the post-graduate class was organized. VV e consider ourselves very fortunate in having been helped NATHAN J- TOBIAS along trade lines by such able men as Mr. Clarence Zearfoss, Mr. Luther Insmuctol' in charge of Department of Metzgar and Mr. Edward Hiller. These men had all been employed in shops handling entirely different types of work and they, upon returning to school, explained the various- methods of pattern construction and molding which were in use in the shops in which they had been employed. They have been very willing to help us with the many little problems which are ever present in our work and have been of inestimable value in increasing the breadth of our trade. VVhen one compares the ground which the Williamson man covers with that covered by the average appren- tice, who, during his entire apprenticeship of four years, has dealt with but those types of patterns peculiar to his shop, he may readily see where the school fellow has advantages. The apprenticeship here lasts only three years, Patternmakers. 32 and this is made possible by the trade being taught so that each successive pattern develops a new principle. Let us consider the work done by the Williamson pattern-maker apprentice. In his first year he starts his shop work by making a complete set of twenty-odd abstract joinery exercises. Then he is ready for the simplest of patterns, those requiring no coring, no partings, etc. He next takes up work in simple coring, such as small pipe joints and cylindrical and rectangular holes cored in plates, until at the end of this year he is making such patterns as would be required for machinists' vises, jack screws, and bearings. In his Junior year the pupil has segmental work and under this we might consider patterns for pulley wheels, ladles, and blank gears. He is also instructed to make patterns with the boxed up construction, and is shown the approved form of lagging up a job. These two methods, in most cases, save time, labor, and material, without sacrificing strength. Patterns thus made are lighter for the molder to handle. . Nearly all large patterns are constructed by these methods. The apprentice is also shown the advantages which the frame core-box has over the ordinary dump box and is advised to use the former wherever practical, With the foundation of his trade well established the student is now ready for the bulk of his work, which comes during his Senior year. As he has had the various types of pattern and core-box construction he is able to choose the approved method in building the patterns which may belassigned to him. During this year such work is done as the making of gear wheels, wonns and worm wheels, Hy-wheels, globe and throttle valves, engine parts, machine parts and bases, boarded work, and skeleton work. It is usually the third year man who is assigned the work of making patterns for castings which are to be used in the construction of new machines for the school, or to replace broken or worn-out parts. Many Seniors also acquire knowledge along trade lines by working in pat- tern shops during their summer vacation and short. leaves. This tends to broaden their knowledge of the trade and to make them more efficient workmen. Hand in hand with pattern-making is our course in molding. During our last year at Vlfilliamson a new foundry was erected and cupola installed. The new foundry building is 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. Before this building was erected it was possible for us to have only snap flask work and small jobs for floor molding, but now that we are able to handle larger work pit molding has been added to our course. Instruction in the molding trade is also planned very carefully and wisely. Each member of the Senior Class spends a certain percentage of his time in the foundry and it is required that each one make 21 mold of at least one of the patterns which he him- self has made. It is also necessary that he should prepare the core mixture and make the cores if any should be necessary in the work. In this way one detects such flaws as weak construction, back draft or poor nnish. Before the cupola was installed it was necessary that we should make all castings in plaster, which, although instructive to a certain degree, had its faultsg namely, the castings contained many blOW-110165, Were easily cracked, and required no venting of the mold. The pouring of molten metal docs not have these disadvantages and therefore the work is made much more practical. At VVilliamson the course termed pattern-making consists not only of that single tradebut of several others. Our course in drafting is perhaps more complete than that which is given to the apprentices in the other trades. 33- With a little extra work on our part we might easily compete with the journeyman draftsrnan. VVe also have work, although not extensive, along cabinet-making and furniture-making lines, and knowledge of these two trades is increased by repair work, which is done during the Freshman and Junior years. It is most natural that with such a flexible course many men who have graduated from here as pattern-rnalv ers have not followed this particular trade, but have chosen that line of work which seems to offer the greatest possibilities of advancement for them. Consequently, today we find Wfilliamson pattern-makers having executive positions in large foundries and pattern shops. Many have taken up advanced academic work and are holding positions as instructors in vocational schools. Others have followed drafting very closely and, having taken advanced work, are becoming well known in this field. Knowing that so many men who have taken this course have made a great success in life, it is an inspira- tion to .us while at school to work so persistently that we, too, on our day of graduation may feel capable of fill- ing similar positions of responsibility in the industrial field. As a member of the pattern-making section of the Class of 1917, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to all members of the faculty and especially Mr. Nathan I. Tobias, our instructor, and Mr. Edward Hiller, the assistant instructor, for the personal interest they have displayed in preparing us for our life's work. CARL S. VERCOE. SENIOR PATTERN-MAKERS 34 J l illllenbaninzal Brewing j THOROUGH knowledge of Mechnical Drawing is one of the greatest assets a young mechanic can possess to enter the corn- mercial or industrial world. It is due to this knowledge that many succeed in attaining higher positions than they would - otherwise. The ordinary apprentice and many older shop-trained men . f , - ' - are capable of reading drawings only and would fail completely if told to make a drawing of a complicated piece of machinery or of the plans of a dwelling. Hence one can readily see why this is considered an important part of our technical education. Every student is required to take the course in drawing no matter what knowledge he already has of the subject, the course being so sys- tematically arranged that any one of average ability can, with a little effort, successfully fulfill the requirements to complete it. During the Freshman year all sections have drawing six hours per weekg in the junior year all sections except the agriculturists have it the same number of hours per weekg in the Senior year eight hours per week are spent in the drawing room, the course being completed before summer vacation. The first few lessons are spent in learning the use of the instruments. . . ,- The beginner is usually rather awkward, but after a little practice he develops a certain degree of efhciency, depending upon the effort put into ' the work. After this the first sheet, which consists mostly of straight JOHN T, -Wm STAN lines and measurements, is completed. All sections except the agricultur- Inst,.uCtO,. in charge of Department of ists have ten elementary sheets on the following subjects: straight and Drawing- curved lines, circles, angles and projection and development. The work of the agriculturists is condensed so that they may cover a certain amount of work dealing with farm equipment before the end of their Freshman year as at this time they complete all drawing required in their course. The pattern-makers, machinists and engineers have about fifteen trade sheets covering the following: development of screw threads, gear diagrams, cycloid and involute gears, bevel and worm gears, cams and screw propellers. Along with these sheets drawings of machines are made, thus developing all the principles of this ' 35 A3 branch of the art. The bricklayers and carpenters have lessons together, although at times each section may be working on a different sheet. The sheets they have in common are: building construction details, dormer win- dows, arch and truss analysis and dwelling plans. The bricklayers have sheets on walls, chimney tops, cornices, ovens, fireplaces and boiler setting. The carpenters have window frame and door details, bay Windows, doors and transoms and hip and valley roofs. All five sections have sheets on isometric, parallel and angular perspective. During the junior year each student is required to make at intervals free hand sketches of different objects separately and in groups. This is an important feature of the course and is designed to train the eye and hand to work in unison that we may be able to make a drawing or sketch without the aid of instruments. This is really 'the language of the mechanic and is sometimes called the universal language because all nations understand it. A portion of the time allotted to the course is spent in obtaining a knowledge of blue printing and tracing. As all blue prints used in the shops are made in the blue print room each one has an excellent opportunity to learn the art. The Hrst thing learned is the coating of paper upon which the prints are made. This is done by placingta sensitizing fluid, composed of M ounce of citrate of iron and ammonia plus 2 ounces I-1201, lk ounces iron and sodium oxolate plus 6M ounces H2O1, M ounce red prussiate of potash plus 4 ounces H2O1, M ounce of oxalic acid. These are all dissolved in the order named, mixed and spread on the paper in a dark room. After being thoroughly dry it is ready for use. The print after being exposed to the light for a certain period of time, depending upon the intensity of the light, is washed in water to remove sensitizing fluid and thus. prevent the chemical action from continuing. Tracing is done from drawings made by the student himself or, if a beginner, from other finished drawings. We were the first class to be placed under a post-graduate who takes charge of the Freshman Class, thus giving our instructor, Mr. Van Stan, a better opportunity to instruct those farther advanced. In behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and 'Seventeen I wish to thank Mr. Van Stan for the interest he has shown in our development and the help he has given us. ' DONALD I.

K'nowZeoZge is more than equivalent to force. -Samuel Johnson HE substance of this quotation is put to every-day practical use at XfVilliamson. If this quotation is true, a combination of knowl- edge and force cannot be equalled as an asset in securing advance- ment for its owner. This has been proven many times by the ability of XfVilliamson men to procure good positions in their respective lines and to attain success and rapid promotion. Because of this fact the academic work is given a place of great importance in the curriculum, a place of scarcely less moment than that of the trade work. The skillful hand of the mechanic is therefore aided by an active, alert brain. The pupils who enter this school vary in gradeg therefore it is thought best to review the common branches during the first three months. Algebra, Civics and American Literature are also studied during the Freshman year. Eight hours a week are devoted to Mechanical Drawing during the Freshman and Junior years. This training is one of the advantages that VVilliamson men have over shop-trained men. Examinations are given in the various subjects every quarter at times not known to the student. The passing mark required is seventy. If the student fails to make it he must devote extra time to the subject until he is able to do so. About the middle of the Junior year the sections are divided into two parts, thus enabling the teacher to give more attention to those who have had less training previous to their coming here without retarding the advancement of boys who are able to make more rapid progress. In the junior year our studies are Chemistry, Physics, English Literature, Algebra, English Composition, Geometry and Mensuration. 37 It is during the Freshman and Junior years that our greatest blunders are made. The first one was made by a patternmaker who recited during the first day with the machinists' section, calling forth this remark by one of the teachers, I thought there was one boy extra. A great number of the mistakes are made in grammar class. One boy, upon being asked to give the principal parts of the verb speed, gave Speed, spade spodef' This answer was, needless to say, much appreciated by the remainder of the class. In American His- tory class another genius said, Braddock was killed in the battle and died three days laterf' Our academic work continues through the first three months of our Senior year. In addition to Physics, Chemistry, and Drawing we have Trigonometry and Commercial. After summer vacation the entire day is given to shop work. Steam, Electricity, and Strength of Materials are taught in evening classes. The above program differs from that of the agriculturist in that they have Botany in their Freshman year in addition to the other studies. During the junior year they study Feeds and Feeding, Agronomy, and Veterin- aiy Science. This academic work closes with the end of their junior year. The instructors of this school are among the best. The instructors and the studies taught by them are as follows: Miss Abbie Eyre, Principal, Geometry, Trigonometry, Miss Blanche Derrickson, Chemistry, Physics, Miss Hannah Hall, Physiology, Literature, Miss Margaret Derrickson, Geography, Physics, Miss Susanna T. Bruton, Grammar, English Composition, Commercial, Miss Myfanwy Evans, Music, American History, Civics, Miss Laura Haddock, Arithmetic, Algebra, Mr. Frederic VV. Snyder, Strength of Materials, Mr. John T. Van Stan, Strength of Materials, Mechanical Drawing, Mr. LeRoy Rupp, Steam, Electricity, Mr. Harvey Burr, Soils, Agronomy, Feeds and Feeding, etc. In behalf of my classmates I wish to thank Miss Eyre and her corps of able assistants for their interest and efficient instruction in our academic work. Their iniiuence during our stay here has caused us to strive to do our best. May it long be felt by the boys of VVilliamson School. In closing I wish to say that a large part of the success of Williamson men in the industrial field is due to the excellence of the academic course. JOHN L. STEPHEN. 58 Bust Gtahuate nurse ILLIAMSON SCHOOL during the past twenty-five years has had the highest success in training young men for the various industries, and her graduates,wl1o not only understand the theory of the indus- trial arts, but who can apply it in actual practicein the shop, are now being sought by those who are look- ing for efficient teachers in manual' training, pre-vocational, and trade schools. In recognition of this call for practical teachers, the authorities at Vifilliamson have developed a post-grad- uate course open to a limited number of its graduates who may desire to enter the teaching held. A student to be eligible to this course must be a graduate of the school and have had at least two years of practical experience in the commercial world working at his particular trade. One student is selected for each department, and actual teaching experience is gained under the supervision of ,the regular instructor in charge of that department, the post-graduate acting as assistant teacher. In addition to work in his own shop, fourteen hours a week are devoted to extension work in the various departments of the school other than that in which he was trained, in order that the teacher may be fitted to supervise the work of any department. The academic work of the course is covered by a series of lectures on the following subjects: Psychology, Fidagogy, History of Education, Applied Design, School Management, Discipline, Public Speaking, Ethics, Eng- is 1, etc. The course is still in its infancy, our class being the third admitted for training. The agriculturists are devoting two years to their course in order to acquire a wider range of farm practice, and will graduate their hrst class next year. illhe graduates in the two preceding classes are holding responsible positions, the demand far exceeding the supp y.

At Wfilliamson the student's moral and spiritual life is infiuenced by his daily attendance at the Chapel services and by regular Sunday attendance at church, but it is through the Christian Endeavor Society, more than any other single factor, that Xlfilliamson men have raised their ideals and have realized the impor- tance of choosing such companions as will enable them to climb higher on life's ladder. Each year it l1as been customary to observe the anniversary of the society, and as this was the twenty-fifth year since it was organized, additional effort was put forth to make it a greater success than in previous years. XfVe were very fortunate in having such an able and prominent man as Dr. Chain, Pennsylvania State President of Christian Endeavor, to make the principal address. Interesting talks recalling many incidents of the society in its early days were given by Miss Eyre, Mr. Bit- ting, and by Mr. Scholl, a graduate of the Class of '94. They told of the progress which the society has made, of its influence in the early days, and also stated that much of the student's training can be advanced by regular attend- ance at the Christian Endeavor meetings. Our society supports a native missionary in South Africa and her letters tell us that much good is being accomplished in her territoiy. Financial aid is given to the county and State unions. In connection with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union a number of Endeavorers, during the spring and summer months gather flowers from the campus and green-houses and send them, through the Flower, Fruit and Ice Mission, to the invalids and shut-ins in Philadelphia. Servicesare held' once each year at the Media jail and County Home, and these seem to be greatly appreciated by the inmates. During the last year we have had addresses at our weekly meetings by young men who have done work in Young Merfs Christian Associations. VVe feel much indebted to these brothers, as they have given the members a higher Christian standard and have been the means of adding many new members to our society. ' There are many benefits to be derived by one's associating himself with a society of this type. He learns to love and to serve his Master more, thus enabling him to be of greater benefit to his fellow-man. By taking an active part in the meetings he qualifies himself to be, a better leader of men. In closing, in behalf of my classmates, I wish to thank those staunch Christians who have led us in the right paths during our stay at Williamson, and to Wish the best of success for the society in the future.

The Class of Nineteen Seventeen may be likened to this on the happy day when their colors were given the prominent place of Seniors. Excitement ran high and as the last word was spoken concluding the graduation exercises at twenty-eight minutes, four and two-fifth seconds after four, a rush was made to the Hag pole to bring down the battle-scarred pennant of the Class of Nineteen Sixteen and raise the ensign of the succeeding class. Cheer upon cheer rang out and as the onlookers applauded, they could hardly help comparing the expectant faces of those who were going out from old WVilliamson never more to lean upon her guiding staff with those of us who remained. The graduates of less than an hour were escorted to the train by the remaining classes, headed by the school band. Farewell cheers were given and our dear old school song rang out as the time of departure drew near. XV hen the linal hand-clasps had been given and our schoolmates of two long years had gone a line was formed and we paraded around the main building with band playing and Hags flying. After our regular twenty-minute recreation period from 5.30 to 5.55 was over we renewed our celebrations. It was at this time that Media, better known as Stoke Pogis, was reminded of the fact that a new element was in power at W'illian1son. A street parade ensued and in this a grand showing was made by Seventeen with their jaunty little caps of f'Red and VVhite. As we look back upon this joyful occasion our hearts are saddened, as soon we will be bidding adieu to our classmates and dear old Alma Mater. i VVe do not, however, want to discourage our successors and we wish them a happy as well as successful final year here at dear old Vifilliamson, .

The scene is laid in the colony of Plymouth a short time after the arrival of the Mayflower. Miles Standish, the captain of the army, falls in love with Priscilla, the loveliest maiden of Ply- mouth. He, fearing a refusal, asks his intimate friend, John Alden, the scribe of the colony, to present his declaration of love and proposal of marriage to Priscilla. John Alden is also in love with Priscilla, but because of his friendship for Miles Standish he decides to take his message. About this time Miles receives a declaration of warfrom the Pequot Indians. Elder Brewster in the ex- citement of the moment promises that Miles shall marry Priscilla if he overcomes the Indians. After the departure of Miles and the army, John goes on his errand. VVhen asked by Priscilla why Miles does not wooand win her as any other man would, john, who is somewhat confused, replies, He has no time for such things. At this Priscilla becomes angry and John tries to make amends for his blunder by telling of his friend's virtues. After he has finished speaking Priscilla says, Why don't you speak for yourself, john ? He then makes an avowal of his love and is accepted. W'hile this scene is 'being enacted at the colony Miles Standish and his right-hand man, Erasmus, become separated from the' army and are captured by the Indians and tied to a tree. The braves are gathering wood to burn them when Katonka, the daughter of the Indian chief, finds them and consents to set them free on the con- ditionfrthat Miles Standish will takeheh to the colony of the white man and marry her. After Miles is released he' regrets his promise, but Katonka is determined to marry him. Finally he succeeds in 'returning without Katonka. He holds Elder Brewster to his promise and is about to be united to Priscilla whether she will have him or not when Katonka rushes in :and claims him. The Elder, who is glad of an excuse for preventing the marriage, tells Katonka that she' shall marry Miles Standish.'But he refuses and when asked why replies, Because Mister Longfellow did' notftell 'me to.

BELL resihents Qhhtei:-fs F TER spending three fleeting years here learning a trade by which we can earn a livelihood, we are about to leave and soon shall have an opportunity to apply the skill and knowledge that we have acquired. In behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen I extend to the officers, teachers, matrons, and all who have given us a helping hand, our sincere thanks and assurance of our deepest gratitude. VV e shall enter into our life's work better prepared forlhaving had your aid, advice, and good example. You have most willingly helped us. The lessons learned will, in all probability, be remembered for life, for it is said, As the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. And I am sure our lives have been bent so that they point towards years of successful achievement and usefulness. To my classmates: The time has come when we must leave the place where we have lived together in harmony and good fel- lowship. lrVe go into the world to follow our various callingsg into a world where we shall meet difliculties and temptations, obstacles that will take all the grit and perseverance that we can muster to surmount, but I sincerely trust that each one of us has that grit and perseverance. May we prove ourselves to be worthy of the training that we have received here and ever do only those things that uplift. Let us aim high and push forward to our goal with unswerving purpose and unfaltering steps. Up! up! never stopping until We are called upon to cross The Great Divide. There are several things upon which our success depends. The one I consider most important is tl1e man- ner in which we spend our time. Time is a God-given gift and in giving it I-Ie intended that it should be used for the best purposes. If we use our time right we may rest assured that we shall at last reach our goal. It is said that Reputation is what men think of you and character is what God knows of you. It may not always be possible to have an unblemished reputation, but our character may be of the highest order if we have a sufficient amount of courage to live those principles which denote true manhood. We can have no better example of real character than that of Isaiah Vansant Williamson, the founder of this school, which is a living monument to his name. May we ever revere his memory. Remember always that there is no success without labor, and with that as an inspiration, we as a class should raise the standard now held by Williamson menwto still loftier heights. In closing I wish for each 'of you a most happy future and abundant prosperity. ALLAN V. WINEGARD. 50 Z L.J lun WMI XV4: Yifv '9 ana n-'gb li! mnfajf s I 493: A . :Mfg l Af X Class Hi Tory lqq fy?

' 45551 Qlllass Jlaistnrp Jfrzshman feat HE early history of any nation or people is necessarily obscured by the more or less impenetrable mist of time. So it is with us. The early doings of t-he '17's are hidden behind a vapor almost as dense as that emitted from the exhaust pipe of the Kaiser's buzz-wagon. But from out the hidden recesses of antiquity we have evolved a chronicle which we hope, may prove an accurate portrayal of the activi- ties of VVilliamson '17, l' It was on the fourteenth day of April, 1914, that our class, following the footsteps of so many predecessors, straggled up the winding hill from the station to the main building. There we were met by our director, Mr. Pratt, who called the roll and directed us to the various cottages which were to be our homes for the next three years. Three-thirty P. M. found us assembled in the auditorium, where we were welcomed by our President, Mr. Harry S. Bitting. After receiving instructions concerning our daily routine, we were free to explore our new surroundings till supper-time. Our first meal at NVi1liamson over, we were visited in our rooms by the upper class- men, who did their best to temper the biting pang of home-sickness which already had begun to appear among us. Following the time-honored custom, the Senior Class tendei ed us a reception in the auditorium on May 17th. This event served to knit a firm bond of relationship between the classes and also awakened a feeling of class spirit among our own fellows. After our first Decoration leave, May 29th, we returned with renewed spirits. Having become accustomed to school life, we next became interested in the preparation of a team to represent us in the Inter-Class Track and Field Meet, which was held July 11, 1914. The team worked hard for the event and was rewarded by the splendid showing they made. The next athletic event to which we turned our attention was the Freshman-Junior baseball game. A team was organized and practice began. Due to our lack of experience, however, the Juniors were the victors in a closely contested game. After summer vacation, our class was given permission to organize. The following officers were elected to serve the remaining six months in our Freshman year: President, Bellg Vice-President, Shaneman 5 Secretary, 52 Renouf, and Treasurer, Swarts. Our recreation time was now occupied mostly with the fall and winter sports. ln football and basketball we were defeated by the Juniors, but this did not chill our ardor. As our first year at Wlilliamson drew to af close, we felt that we had made a good beginning. VVe had entered into our duties as students with vim and vigor and incorporated ourselves in the spirit and purpose of our school. In athletics, we also had ample cause for gratification, having placed four men on the 'varsity teams and several more on the reserve teams. Bfuniur fear It was with afeeling of joy intermingled with sadness, that we entered our junior year. Of joy because we were no longer geezers, but of sadness because of the departing Seniors whom we learned to respect, and upon whom we looked as examples of what we were expected to be. Swarts was chosen as President for the first term of this year, the other officers being Benner, Vice-Presi- dentg Wfinegard, Secretary, and Lytle, Treasurer. 'W e now devoted much of our spare time to developing a class- baseball team and track teams to represent us in the annual Inter-Class Meet. The meet was held on june 19, 1915, and it was a hard matter to tell which of the two upper classes would be the winner until the last event was over. The final score stood: 1916, 63M points, 1917, 532 pointsg 1918, 2. points. At the close of this meet we held the laurels for having scored more points than any former junior class in the history of VVilliamson athletics. Hampp, winner of the Pentathlon event, was high scorer with 23 points to his credit. In baseball we were fortunate enough to defeat the Fresh- men with a score 11-3. Summer vacation soon came and in like manner passed, and the time for the election of oiiicens. was again at hand. Shaneman, Presidentg Klotz,'Vice-Presidentg Davis, Secretary, and Robbins, Treasurer, were the four chosen to transact the business of the class during the remainder of our junior year. Our Glee Club and Quartet were organized about this time, and under the leadership of Nuss, performed remarkably well on all occasions. As many of our best men were taken for the. 'varsity eleven, no class football team was organized. ' - On January 3, 1916, we returned from our Christmas leave and settled down to hard work for the last three months of our second year. ' Class spirit has never before been so strongly shown as in the past year and the reason for this is that the good old Williamson spirit is back of it all. The interest Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen has displayed and will keep on displaying, is not for class fame or glory, but for the advancement and honor of one we all love and cherish to the very depths of our hearts-dear Williamson. 53 Senior fear Gentle reader, this remarkable world of ours has once again gone around our illuminating body since the issue of the last installment. During the past year, the advance in arts and sciences has been most remarkably rapid. The industrial activities and intellectual developments have been, to put it mildly, marvelous. The forward strides in all lines have been sure and steady and present indications are that they will continue so. The historian is not an optimist nor quite a pessimist, and in defence of the above statements will say that it is only necessary to look through this book to have them verified. On April 1, 1916, we first realized what it was to be Seniors. Nifinegard, Presidentg Jacoby, Vice-Presidentg Gill, Secretary, and Swarts, Treasurer, were chosen as the class officers for the first term of this year. On April 14, 1916, the new class came in and they were tendered a reception by us, May 19th. Though by no means an elaborate affair, it was given to establish good will and to drive away some of that dreadful malady -home-sickness. The Inter-Class Track Meet again claimed our attention and after a few weeks of training, we easily cap- tured first place. Score: 1917, 69 points 5 1918, 23 points g 1919, 16 points. The school record for the shot-put was broken by Hampp. In summing up our achievements in track, we find that we hold three distinct records, as fol- lows: high jump and shot put by Hampp and broad jump by 1fVertly. This is sustaining the C Class reputa- tion with a vengeance. After returning from summer vacation we looked forward to our late leave, this privilege being granted if we were good for a period of 31 days. On October 11, 1916, we elected officers to serve during the last term of our stay at school. The following were selected and proved worthy of the offices with which they were entrusted: President, W'inegardg Vice-President, Shanemang Secretary, Gill, and Treasurer, Swarts. As our time could be devoted to better advantage in our trade work, no class football or basketball teams were organized. At last We have reached the stage where we can well appreciate an oft-reiterated phrase that nothing can ever take the place of school days. During the last three years, so short now in retrospect, our life, our actions, and our character have been embraced in our existence here, and soon we shall leave it to pass into a future whose destiny for us is undisclosed. Not until Commencement Day perhaps, will we feel the true significance of part- ing from our many associations, from our true and steadfast friends, some of whom we may never see again. And in years to come, when we pause from the multitudinous duties of our busy lives may we ever cherish the memory of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen. .

From the conversation I learned that it had been thoroughly overhauled, last year's final figure 6 had been replaced by this year's figure 7, and it was ready for use but for one exception. For the sake of giving the aspiring engineers practice in wiring, the figure Z had been temporarily inserted in the place of the figure 1. Ah ! thought I, I will just go round to the engine room tonight and look at the sign at close range. After finishing my supper, I went over to the engine room and stood in front of the semicircle Waiting for an engineer to turn on the juice. Against the wall surrounding the cold storage stood the sign in darkness, scarcely to be distinguished from the gray stone background. Suddenly, as the current was turned on, there seemed to leap from the wall a half hoop of solid fire which, as my eyes became accustomed to the dazzling light, gradually changed to the words, WIL- LIAMSON 1927. But to my amazement, just as soon as this legend became clear to me it changed and before me appeared a fire-framed door across which was hung a curtain of dead black velvet barred across by yard-high crimson letters, H1927 OPEN AND SEE. T rembling in every limb, but driven by an irresistible impulse, I came slowly forward, stepped beneath the fiery frame, and with a wildly beating heart parted the curtains. They dis- solved like smoke at my touch 5 the whole arch revolved at a dizzy speed till it became a hemisphere of fire round and about me. Gradually the glow faded and the surface of the hemisphere became a crystal mirror as if it were the half of a great soap bubble. A Clouds seemed to whirl around the mirror, lines broke the continuity of the current surfaceg houses and human figures appeared and then I was all at once standing at Fifty-second street, in the city of Philadelphia. Immediately in front of me there stood an Italian scissor-grinder bidding a stern policeman Buon Giornof' A second look at their faces revealed the fact that they were my old classmates, Bunker and Bell. My attention was attracted by a sign over the door of a small shop, the inscription of which read: Joseph Guest, Dealer in Old Shoes and Second-hand Magazines. The next thing which attracted my attention was Zip Fowler just going to work swinging a McClellan-Emswiller folding shovel. Passing on to Market street, I saw Winegard entering an ofiice building. Looking over the directory at the entrance I found a card which read, A, V. Winegard, Gen- 56 eral Manager of the Philadelphia Branch of Seers-Roebuck Co. After another change of position I found my- self in front of the Trocadero Theatre, where I saw large posters featuring NVilber Stingel as Chester, the most graceful dancer of today. I did not see his act, however, as the stage was occupied by Moyer 8: Nuss, who were singing a duet entitled, NVe Love Them All. Down in the orchestra I saw Prince Renouf playing the piano and Mackey at the drums while Lew Davis flourished the c0nductor's baton. After the clouds had again appeared and disappeared in the mirror I found that the scene had also changed to one in VVashington, D. C. In the Patent Office I saw a clerk writing out a patent for the latest Eggert-Edison invention. In one of the executive offices of the city I saw the newly appointed Comptroller of Currency, Don Lytle, who was reading a telegram of congratulations from his defeated opponent, Stoney Crowell. In Congress- Sena- tor Force was passionately advocating naming the next new battleship May. . Chicago was the next city whose streets appeared in the mirror. The first sign that attracted my attention was Duckworth and Shaneman, I-Iaberdashers, and Dress Suits to Hire. In the next block stood the Gray- shon and Greenleaf face powder factory. In front of a lecture hall I saw a placard reading, Free Lectures. This week, Clifford Jacoby on 'How to Do It Elect1'ically'g next week, Edward Klotz on 'The Married Versus the Unmarried Farm 'Workerf Un a nearby lot there stood a large tabernacle in which Mauger and Vercoe were holding evangelistic services and Benner acted as chief usher. In a large Y. M. C. A. building in another part of the city, Speck, the physical director, was teaching a class of boys the proper way to do a clog dance, while on the track Riggs was training the A. A. U. champion sprinter, Willie Thompson, for his coming match with Edgar Reed. A nearby show window displayed a quantity of books among which I noticed several whose authors' names were familiar. They were Life of Bulwer Lytton, by Harrold Gillg Advice to Young Lovers, by Vlfarren Gussg The Personalities of the Ford Car, by Lawrence LiPPi Encyclopedia of Etiquette, by Wil- iam Shore, and English Used Forcibly, by J. P. Snavely. Out in the suburbs I saw what I thought was a small parade approaching, but found that I was mistaken, when upon questioning the leader where the band was I learned it was only angel-faced Gates taking his family out for a walk. Clouds once more obscured the surface of the mirror and when they had cleared away I saw a country road instead of city streets and tall buildings. At the side of the road a cluster of rural free' delivery mail boxes. One of these differed from the rest in one detail. In place of the usual stencil name on 'one side there was a sign board placed above. On this board appeared the name Leroy Prince Albert Reginald Archibald Count Sappho Ten Bucks lfVilliam Earl England. 57 Next appeared a small town in the largest building of which Percy I-Ieltman was editing the woman's page of his weekly newspaper, The Mackeyville Screaming Eagle. After this I saw a highway in Delaware county along which Stanley Swartz was skillfully navigating a steam road roller. A short distance along the same road I observed a large building called The Lutz Pie House. Still farther up there appeared a movie house whose program for the day read Clarence Gaw Presents Eugene Powell in the Media Four Hundred. A workshop in Reading next came to view in the depths of the mirror. Here I saw Harry Brown carving out patterns for the Reading Pretzel Foundry. Through a window of his workroom I could see the rival establish- ments of Combs and Natale, who were furiously competing for the wood business of the city. A few doors beyond, Rissling, Robertson and Stephen came to view as they entered the doorway of the Fat Men's Club. In a nearby hairdressing shop Schollenberger had for a moment stopped his work of wig making to answer the ques- tions of Bill Leepard, who, as special investigator, was looking up the records of some of the men whose faces appeared in Schweikeids Rogues' Gallery. In a small house in the city of Lancaster I saw Fornwalt practicing a solo which he was to play on the sweet potato in that night's performance of the Schlitz Band. In a large tract of ground a slight distance off I saw a goose farm owned and managed by the firm of Heckler, W'ertley and W'eikel. Philadelphia next appeared in the filmy mirror. In a large oH'ice building I saw a suite of offices marked VVilliam Spaeter, President of the State Board of Movie Censorsf' In another office buildinga short distance away was one door which was marked as follows: Cagliostro Keagle, Crystal Gazer, Psychometrist and For- teller of Future Events. Market street wharf next made its appearance, from which a steamer was just leav- lng, transporting john jameson to Africa as a Quaker missionary. Coming up the street was Russell Yocum, who was returning to his job as waiter at Ostendorf's after bidding good-bye to David Keim, who had just sailed to assume the duties of Ambassador to Copenhagen. As this last View faded, little tongues of flame broke from the surface of the mirror, grew, joined together, glowed fiercer and hercer until the fiery dome again completely enveloped me. With a motion swift as the strike of a rattlesnake the Haming walls closed in upon me, but just as I was about to be overwhelmed there came a noise like the snap of a whip and instead of fiame blackness closed around me and I lost consciousness. When I came to my senses a bunch of engineers grabbed me by my feet and tried to loose my grip from a brace rod of the sign, . 5 FREDERICK P.

Wle give and bequeath to the Board of Control, the President and the Faculty, a much-needed rest from the l9l7's. No more will we be called upon in vain, no more will they be pained to write our names in their little books. Yet they have faithfully performed their duties, and now they may dream the dreams of the just. Item Two. W' e give and bequeath to Wlilliamson Trade School as a whole, the six A. M. bell, materials and construction, brogans, and. study hour. Vile have used them well but we cannot take them with us. 'We also bequeath to said party the right and honor to uphold its colors, Red, Blue, and Gold, in athletics. Item Three. To the incoming Freshman Class we bequeath the knowledge and wisdom we have gained from long experience. This knowledge is contained in a sealed manuscript which will be handed to the representa- tives of the class by our legal advisor. May they profit by it and attempt to follow in our footsteps. Item Four. To the present Junior Class we give and bequeath the right to lord it over the incoming Fresh- men. Guide them, instruct them, and aim to make them what they should be. Item Five. We give and bequeath to our successors the following: F irst, the Senior seats in the dining room and auditorium. Use them correctly, and you will not have any occasion to visit the office. Second, Senior privi- leges. VVe can mention only a few here, which are as follows: flj to conduct the A. A., Q21 to defeat Central High School, C35 to study on Saturday afternoons, C4j to Hunk occasionally and blame it on the long lesson, Q51 if they earn them, to have late leaves to commence six months after the date of this will. We also bequeath to said party the right to be dignified and look wise and give advice to the lower class men. Item Six. To our instructors- and their assistants we give the right to feel relieved, but at the same time to realize that from their presence and direction has passed a class that is to be well represented among the best mechanics, and better, the best men of the land. , All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality, and not herein disposed of, we give and bequeath to our President for his use and benefit absolutely, hoping that he may cherish our memory as a class, who, though sometimes failing, always aimed to be the best. We do hereby appoint this said President sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1917, the testators, have to this will set our hands and seals, this the twenty-First day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. fSignedj . HARROLD GILL. THE CLASS or NiN13T1.N SEVENTEEN. 60 Summary The Class of 1917 numbers sixty-one fellowsg nine agriculturists, eight bricklayers, twelve carpenters, eight engineers, thirteen machinists and eleven patternmakers. - The average age at graduation will be 19 years, 6 months and 20 days. Stingel is the oldest and Stephen the youngest, with 21 years, 1 month and 16 days, and 19 years and 21 days respectively. Keagle comes nearest the average, being 19 years, 6 months and 18 days. Brown and Weikel stand at the two extremes in weight-180 and 125 pounds. The average is 150 pounds and Renouf, Robertson, Gates, Hampp and Mackey all approach within one or two pounds of this. The average height is 5 feet, SM inches and Hampp, Guss and Gill almost toe this mark with 5 feet, 8 inches, McClellan is the tallest with 6 feet, M inch. Gates, Lytle and Weikel are tied for the shortest at 5 feet 5 inches. The man who embodies all three of these averages most closely is Keagle, age 19 years, 6 months and 18 days, weight, 152 pounds, and height, 5 feet, 9 inches. In politics the Republicans are far in the lead with 31 votes. This does not include several adherents of the G. O. P. or other brands, so that the Democrats with eleven are far outnumbered. There are five Prohibitionists, three for Local Option, and three Independents, the Socialists, Philadelphia Gang and Best Man 'vVins each have two, and then there is a nondescript list with only one supporter, Liberal, Mugwump, Polymumphism, Free Voter, Anarchist, Rooseveltian, Reform Republican and Private. There are a few who profess no political faith, while it is Powells' belief fand ours tooj that no party will have him. The diversity is still greater among the religious creeds of which the various members of the class are followers, There are nine Presbyterians, eight Lutherans, eight Methodists, seven Baptists, tive Episcopalians, three Evangelists, three Catholics, two Reformed, one Unitarian, one United Presbyterian and one Quaker. Four have no preference and two merely call themselves Protestants. Keagle says, Where you find the prettiest girls. Fomwalt voices the same sentiment, Depends on the girls, and Babe Keim votes for Doc XVood's. HARROLD GILL. 5 I AUDITORIUM ATHLETIC FIELD .2 QSQQQQFWQ M- 9fQ .

Later he was elected treasurer of the Mechanic Furg displayed great prowess as an athlete, excelling in everything he undertook along that line. For three years he played on the 'varsity football team and in nearly every game attention was called to his star playing. In his senior year he was elected captain of the team and it proved to be one of the best in some years. Bell also played on the 'varsity baseball team for two years, holding down the positions of first and second bases to good advantage. Furg's one great failing is that he always falls for a girl by the name of May and at least four cases of this kind are on record, but we cannot say whether any of these cases have reached the critical point or not.

Une of the most accomodating and likable fellows in the class is our Al. One of I-Iusky's most predominant characteristics is his aversion to the fair sex, the cause of his being a misogynist not being dehnitely known. Beans is an enthusiastic theatre-goer. Almost every week-end he hur- ries off. We don't know whether it's the Casino or the Troc. He is an ardent Republican and hence a firm believer in all kinds of graft. But setting aside frivolities, Al is really a good, capable fellow in the class room and shop. Moreover, out of his vast conglomeration of heterogen- eous knowledge he is always ready to help his fellow student. Al has always led his section fat roll callj. Although of a tacitum nature, his keen wit and constant good humor have endeared him to the hearts of all who know him. , O1ze's muh number, boy. 55 I QZLaf,Z'6aMW QVWWGWMW HARRY BARNHART BROWN .

This little child has the distinction of being the only one in our class who, during his stay here, has tipped the scales at over two hundred pounds. He was introduced to life at Vifilliamson as a reserve in the pattern shop, and if we are to believe reports he thoroughly enjoyed his first year. Because of his early association with the men interested in athletics at that time, we find him playing a remarkable game of football on the 'Varsity eleven for three years. He is one of the best tackles which the school has put on the gridiron for some years. VVhen his senior year was reached this boy soon grew into manhood, noticeable particularly by the dark line on his upper lip, which some authori- ties say was an artistic decoration made by a painter. During his junior year Brown had great expectations, and we believe he would have become one of the foremost American chemists if he had not been injured in a laboratory explosion while preparing some sulphur matches. Chubby is one of the most enthusiastic of our rooters, and supports tl1e various teams in a first-class manner. He has been one of the faithful workers in our pattern shop, and we wish him a very happy and successful future. 4 Pardon I. 66 MIFFLIN BUNKER. BRANDYWINE SUMMIT, PA.

' Joe and Reds came back from a strollg An argument they had had, It seemed to us Reds had won, For joe was looking bad. 'Varsity Cricket, '15-'l6. One can readily tell by the picture that Reds hails from Reading, the land of plenty. During our early life as Williamson boys Pinky wasa quiet fellow and we thought it was his nature to be so, but we learned the reason why, his thoughts were of those he left behind. Almost every other evening we would hear him say I just received a letter from her, john. Somehow Cupid's arrow missed its mark for the letters came irregu- larly and at longer intervals and finally not at all. However, lately Reds has found a new hobby which absorbs his attention from 6 to 8 o'clock. Reds is taking up a special course in botany, at least so he says. VVe never saw him return with any specimens from his numerous trips to the woods. We wondered why this was so until we found he had a secret store room on Gray's lane. p Matters went along smoothly until he found there was another in the same art who encroached upon his field of practice, when hostilities occurred, which resulted in the survival of the fittest. -Reds is an anti-prohibitionist, as one would suppose, but he claims that his strongest drink is diluted HZO. Diluted with what? Pinky is one of the shining lights of our class. QA colored photograph is necessary to prove the fact-his hair.j Never mind, Reds, the girls like it and they are half of life.

Well, this fellow Crowell is not very tall, nor very broad, nor does he weigh much. And he is very good, when asleep. But do not condemn him too soon, for during his Rookey Year he roomed with Duckey and that may have caused it. Judging by the tales told they had some times, especially when they played Dick Merriwell at the Pump. Stoney is full of pep, like a jar of nitro-glycerine, and he fur- ther resembles this explosive when disturbed. He returns to normal when he finds that the fellows are enjoying the aviation meet. Leon, who resembles Enoch Pickelweight in size, swears that he will never marry any one who resembles Maria in the slightest degree, He backs this by offering us the best treat we ever had if his wife-to-be is in the heavyweight class. 4 For quite a while Crowell traveled over Media way, much to his peril CPearlj, but he stopped quite suddenly after a visit to his home town. Some one there had some inside dope, no doubt. If Stoney continues to Work as hard after graduation as he has before his success is assured.

He is now spend- ing his time in a m.ore profitable way. Our friend Aggie must be color-blind. One night while walking in Media he saw a prettily dressed young lady ahead of him. The poor fel- low was lonesome so he walked faster to catch up, with the lady. It so hap- pened that when he did it was under an are light. To his dismay he found she was ofa chocolate hue. The fellows are thinking about getting him a pair of glasses so he won't make that mistake again. Vifillie is also a scholar and teacher and I am told he is superintendent of the kindergartens of Middletown Township. Eggert is captain and manager of the VVil1iamson Wildcats.

There is an existing love for something else in this last named city. VVhat? We have an idea.

Although his small size is a disadvantage, ,long training in the gymnasiums of Phoenixville and the streets of Tunnel Hill has made him so proficient in this pastime that his shop partner, Keim, our champion in the gentle art, has hard work to keep his title. ' Spuds played a good game at end on the 1915 football team, but an injury to his leg early in the fall prevented him from taking his place on this last season's 'Varsity. However,.this unfortunate accident did not end his connection with school athletics. As manager of reserve basketball he developed a team that in practice has given the 'Varsity many a hard tussle and whose outside games are generally victories. Raymond's ever-ready smile and general attitude of constant joyfulness has won him many friends among his classmates, and the feeling of the other sex for him is best told in his own words: The girls all like me because I'm so cute. But Spibby is not one of the boys who love 'em all. There is a girl in his home town who is the sole object of his devotion and for whose sake he spends all his requests in Phoenixville. Other boys from that same town tell us that the months of the year are the same there as anywhere else, but, according to Spuds, in Phoenixville it is always May.

Soon after the bell is tapped he can be seen wandering in the direction of the water faucet with a pitcher which very seldom comes back containing HQO, but more often beans, peas, spuds, gravy, etc. Laura has several other qualities which we must not fail to mention. He holds the honor of being the noisiest fellow of our class, as proven by vote.

Dan was a modest and bashful young gentleman when he came here, but as all things human change he has changed also. Just now he is quite popular with the ladies, which accounts for his frequent visits to the city of Lima. I Having been one of the five Senior heckers chosen as a judging team to compete with other agricultural schools at the Devon Horse Show, Yatts showed his keenness and ability by capturing a first prize cup. Beckie objects- to hillsides for farming like those of his community because, as he has told us, they must plant the corn with a shot gun, and the only way possible for them to pasture sheep is by tying the tails of two and hanging them over the crest of the mountain. This fellow's humor UQ has won for him a great deal of popularity throughout the school and as he' is one of the practical farmers of our class there is no doubt but that he will meet with success when thrown upon his own resources.

W'ell, most of them are obtained through some laughable incident. Now Jake you might suppose would be applied to some rube or to one who is not worldly wise, if these were your suppositions, they are correct. Our first few days were spent in adapting ourselves to our new sur- roundings and making ourselves known to our new associates. During these days Jake was most mannerly, called each Mr, So-and-So, etc., and the boys, taking advantage of his chivalry, dished him out at meals or in general rubbed it in on him till he realized his plight, when he straightway showed he could-also rough it , however, the name jake clung to him during all his term. Jake is the most sympathetic, the most encouraging personality one could meet. WVere you in a jovial, subdued or pessimistic mood lake would be with you in thought and action. From the above you are lead to believe he has no thought of his own, that he may be easily influenced, but were you to approach him with a topic which requires no little consideration you would find him most logi- cal in his reasonings. jake is an ardent and willing worker and is most considerate for his fellow associates and we would not be surprised to hear of him as an arbitrator. 1 IIGZUGI71 J! 79 9sf.anfv.4r5al,5QZZ.

From his past you will see he is following it to the letter. Briefiy, he graduated from Media Grammar School. His next adventure leads him to Girard College, whereby he had access to a large library, which has had an important part in his development along literary lines. He entered Atlantic City High School as a Sophomore. After graduating the youngest in his class he blew about for a time until he entered Vlfilliamson. His stay here relative to his academic work was but a review for him, but he spent his efforts on higher mathematics and sciences and We Wonder at his unusual capabilities. His willingness to oblige others by tutoring them through their iinal examinations has won him many friends of our class who wish him a happy and prosperous future. HIJWL quit!! So ALFRED B.

Al was never much of a ball player, but he made at least one hit. She called it a solitary and scooped it up with her left hand. You might know how hard the hit was when She used a Onege board to find out if Alfie loved her.

Al has three hobbies. One of course is over near Middletown. Of the other two one is drawing and the other autos.

It is usually very funny, being punctuated with bursts of laughter, and you cannot resist joining him. ' Media and the Idlewile are close and besides Bill gets mail from near home so Why shouldn't he be happy most of the time? Notice the word most, for Willy can also be veiy much peeved when the- fellows rag him Cabout Maria or the Babyj. He then becomes the Huntingdon Giant and wants to fight eveiy one. It usually ends with a little smile followed by a big laugh. Although pretty well contented here Greeny admits he is happiest when on the road to Juniata in his jitney buss. He knows the roads between Huntingdon and Juniata almost as well as he does Providence road or the Boulevard. That is saying something, for Greeny was a member of Sun- day afternoon 'Whfalking Club and often covered these roads in company with some one who had to be helped over the rough spots.

He is well-known and respected both at this school and in others for his exceptional ability in all out-door sports, and for the clean, manly manner in which he plays. He is one of the very few Williamson men who has won the 'varsity letter in our four major sports-football, baseball, basketball, and track. ln each of these he was one of our best. By so faithfully fulfilling the offices of the class and Athletic Associa- tion which were intrusted to him he has found many friends not only among his classmates but in the student body as well. Madagascar is one of the most good-natured fellows in our class and has only been known to ascend into the upper regions when some one looked at him too long or when a certain favorite picture of his was found i11 a show case. As a molder Gus has established a record, but as a farmer he is unex- celled, at least as far as time down on the farm is concerned. He made it a point to catch the first train from a football or basketball game to carry him back to-West Chester C Pj and we have known him to stay so long that he had but three minutes to run from the station to Second C. Wlhatever may be his line-patternmaker, molder, or farmer-we feel that Guss will- surely be successful. I wish this -was Friday night. S4 . ' FREDERICK PAUL HAMPP. 4 KENSINGTON, PA. Carpenter.

His notable achievements on the gridiron and track have been yan important factor in upholding the high athletic standard of the school. In track he is the modest possessor of two records, the high jump and shot put. Fred's social life has been an active one. Every Sunday morning he may be seen starting off in the direction of Media. 'Who she is we have not been able to hnd out. Occasionally he receives mysterious letters and always seems unusually sober for a time. We hope it's nothing serious.

Not only is he known for his phenomenal playing on the violin, but his accomplish- ments in vocal music are marvelous. Although Heck is a musician, he is not a dreamer. The only time that he can sit down and keep quiet is when he receives one of his mile-long letters from Down East. One of these will usually keep him busy for half a day. 'We have record of one other occasion when Heckler kept quiet. That was for the first five minutes after he had accidentally swallowed a fly. According to his room-mate, Goose is not even quiet when he sleeps, but keeps talking and mumbling about the days of long ago. His room- mate has gathered from what he has heard that at some time Heckler was deeply in love. The reader may judge as to the veracity of this statement by reading the following incident. One day a few months ago two of our fellows were discussing their likes and dislikes in the feminine world. Heckler' happened along about this time and hearing part of the conversation exclaimed fervently, f'You fellows don't know what real love is. I've been there.

However we have been unable to locate it on the map. One glance at this young man's face ought to convince you that he is a shrewd business man. 'Tis the truth. It was one time when Percy was financially embarrassed that he showed his Jew blood and natural business ability. He was wandering down the hall one day and happened to spy a pair of discarded shoes. He immediately took possession of them and returned to his room, where he proceeded to doll up his find. In a few minutes he came out again with an apparently new pair of tan shoes and had little dif- ficulty in disposing of them at a gain of twenty-five cents. The credit's all yours, Perce. . V Saterday and Yatts were great friends until one day Yatts angered Percy to such an extent that he seized a corn knife lying near and pursued him through the dairy barn. Only Providence saved Yatts from seeing his happy hunting grounds. Nearly all of Percy's spare time is spent in dreaming and letter-writing. There's a reason. He has a Jane in Lock Haven.

Steinmetz and Edison may well look to their laurels now that he is to be set free, and were it not for the fact that he hails from Conshohocken, Mr. Edison would be taking some nerve remedy as a side issue with his daily ration of sardines.

Biography Committee, Play Committee. From the backwoods town of Liberty in the wilds of Tioga County there came to us a fellow with luxuriant black hair slightly resembling that of an Indian, although he claims to be a German. Upon his arrival at Spooneyville Jack immediately established his fame as a conlirmed bachelor, but he did make one excursion into the realm of the fair. I-Ie became a regular frequenter of the stack and while there he improves his time by reading such good literature as Top Notch and Snappy Stories. In Liberty Keagle was considered quite a sage in academic work, having astonished the populace of that worthy town by his learning. He has amply sustained that reputation at Wfilliamson besides. making a name for himself as a good bricklayer. , , This sketch would not be complete without mention of our he1'o's great musical talent. Jack's devotion to his banjo is pathetic and its melodious notes may be heard all hours of the day. Lawrence is one of those fellows who always greets his fellow man with a smile and a word of cheerg despondency has no place in his make-up. Generous almost to a fault, he has a helping hand for every one. N o man ever asked him twice for a favor which was in his power to give. Jack has a host of friends who wish him Godspeed.

This smiling young marauder came to us from Knauertown, bearing the mild and misleading name of Babe, but we soon rechristened him Monk because of the Simian manner in which he climbs around and over his antag- onist when engaged in his favorite sport, rough-housing. , ' VV e all know what to expect when we hear his war cry of Villain, you haf deceived me. In spite of the large quantity of ice tea which David drinks, his hot temper gets the best of him, but he comes down even more quickly than he goes up and he is never anybody's enemy for more than five minutes at a time. NVhenever Babe has any time off we always see him start in the gen- eral direction of Media. Nobody knows just where he goes, but there is one thing we do know-that he will not be back until the last minute. His unusual amount of strength made him an important member of our football squad last season and whenever he takes his place at guard his opponent is sure to be considerably battered up. He makes more noise when walking around in his stocking feet than any other fellow in Second C can with his shop brogues on. This is the excuse for the rhyme at the beginning of this biography.

Until he was elected president of this association we did not know what kind of fellow he really was owing to his small size and quiet ways, but the way in which he discharged the duties of this position has proven to us his honesty, industry, and executive ability, although he does overwork the word elimination in his official addresses. One look at this young man's photograph would tell you he would make an ideal family man, but so far no girl has aroused his interest, and the worst of it is he says it is very, very doubtful if there will ever be one who will possess this power. - We have not a doubt that Ab will succeed in any phase of heckering he undertakes, and the Class of '17 wishes him the very best of success.

However, take courage, friend, there are wilder ones than you in captivity. . Leopard is one of our hard workers and does not devote much time to athletics, although he did take the occasion to favor the cricket team with his unquestionable talents. Animals social life has, until his Senior year, been a closed book, but we had entertained suspicions for quite a while. On Saturdays and Sundays Bill disappeared, no one knew where. But one day one of the fellows dis- covered the attraction and our high estimate of him took a sudden drop. After a while Ostrich lost patience and then came the end. After summer vacation of his Senior year the Leopard had a serious illness, but happily he fully recovered and it is a tribute to his ability that he was able to continue with his class. By his generosity and good fellowship Bill has firmly entrenched him- self in the hearts of all.

Then, if he doesn't like that, he may work at drafting or take up designing. As a draftsman he is quite an expert.

This youth came to Vlfilliamson as he intended to follow pattern-making, but after spending some time at this trade he decided to follow molding more extensively. Consequently he spent some of his spare time in prepar- ing to Work at molding during his vacation period. WVork at this trade, however, seemed to come to an abrupt end when he learned how much UQ he could earn in this line in the town in which he seems to have chosen to start his life's work. WVe are now left entirely in the dark as to what may be his chosen occupation. Mauger is well known in Lima as an energetic religious worker. Owing to his ability along this line of work he served two very successful terms as president of our Christian Endeavor Society. He was also a Sunday School teacher and was lately appointed choirmaster of the Junior Choir. Alice is not so well known among his classmates, as he is quite a lady's man, but reports say that on one occasion he proved himself heroic C ?J. It happened this way. The train was not due until some time after Frankie was supposed to be under covers. It was raining very hard. He arose from bed, secured an umbrella, reported off on late leave, and raced to the station, but all visions of being a hero quickly passed when he saw some one else help him off the train and shelter him under his umbrella. Mauger's strong character has benefited his classmates in manyways, and we feel that the best of success will surely fall upon him. l'Hey!

After a look at this young man's ample proportions one would naturally conclude that he was built for comfort rather than speed and never connect him with an athletic career. This is all wrong for tennis, cricket and avia- tion are his specialties and we well remember that on one occasion he went in for high hurdles followed by a little cross country, and on the home stretch outstripped all competitors. Likewise he is somewhat of a diver when the necessity arises, having been known to plunge through the combustion cham- ber door of a boiler without touching, although it was a tight squeeze for him to enter. This sketch was enacted when some one suddenly turned on the steam and to the spectators it suggested I-Ialley's comet conveying the Beef Trust on a tour of the duct. Besides athletics Dan occasionally devotes a little of his spare time to the fair sex. The greatest of all of Daniel's accomplishments is his singing, for his melodious voice may be heard after his beauty nap in the morning till late at night. I-Ie is always a delight to his hostesses since he is aways put at ease when asked to warble. Nevertheless we must give this future Caruso a Word of advice: Remember, old fellow, from the start, The wor1d's not all one amorous song. Keep thoughts of love from work apart And you'll reap success 'mong 1ife's great throng. It's a good story anyway. 100 JOSEPH A. NATALE XNALLINGFORD, PA. ' Machinist.

Charley worked in Bethlehem Steel Company during his junior year to help Mr. Schwab, the steel king, to get rid of some of his surplus money and he made good. Joe came back with a goodly supply of itg for this he was promptly dubbed Charley Schwab. Schwab once went to one of those well-known play houses, the one the boss goes to. He handed the ticket collector his privilege card instead of the theatre ticket, both being pink. It couldn't be helped, gentle readers, as Ioe's eyes were dazzled by the sights around him and by what the show would bring, rather than such an insignificant thing as a theatre ticket. Joe became quite a naturalist in the beginning of his Senior year, but now he is a ranger and only roams around the woods, as his rival and best friend, Pinky Combs, beat 'him to it.

Iene probably inherited his degrees from his brother, but it runs in the family. Having entered as a rook, Iene had a hard time of life at William- son as a beginner under the supervision of the Class of 1914. Jene was always a source of entertainment for these boys when they were not feeling inclined to work, and he was most obliging in this CPD. However, being a good-looking chap and one Whose company is most desired by the opposite sex Jene soon became the lion of Media society. Jene is a very speedy worker and accomplishes more than any other of his section mates when he is in the humor to do so. It is the wish of his classmates to hear of Jene as a successful contractor, as we believe him capable of being such. ' Aw, cut it out will ya. 103 EDGAR G. REED DARBY, PA. Agriculturist.

Reedy is without a doubt one of the quietest fellows of our class. We very seldom hear him although we know he is around.

So far as we know he is not a great lover of the fair sex, although we have an idea why Wana1i1aker's store has such an attraction for him. In spite of this fellow's silence he has managed with ease to hold down W Q61 first base on the Darby ball team. W ' Two of Ed's chief delights are to work in the calf barn and receive deficit.

Prince dreams, Dan acts. Prince is classed with the musicians of our school and honored with the official role of class piano player. A number of our fellows inclined toward life-long bachelorhood formed a guild called the VVoman Haters and Prince in a fit of despondency j oined. His love affairs would complete another chapter so we may only touch on them here. Media and the surrounding country have felt the poison darts of this kid Cupidg in fact, a movement is afoot to have his photograph published in all of the daily papers in order to warn and protect the fair sex from this marauder's attacks and also the poultry raisers of the section in which he happens to be operating. 5 We expect s-ome day to hear of his entering the fertilizer business since the bones held a 'great attraction for him. 1o5 fwhw 0920 C.

Hardly had he arrived before he was dubbed Harvey, which stuck to him like the most fashionable paper of a seaside resort-fly paper. The most noticeable feature about this lad is his bull-dog jaw, denoting great determination, usually employed in evading Work. In fact, he is an authority on the subject and is likewise good at knocking chestnuts off an oak if necessary. Here's one on Harvey: One afternoon he was employing some spare time helping to weed our truck patch. His mother, bringing a friend out to see the school and Harlan, was evidently just explaining the wondrous engineering work her son was doing.

Bull arrived at VVilliamson a month after the class enrolled, replacing one of our number, who had been dismissed. Wlien he arrived it was after a trying ordeal. He had never visited the city before and consequently became lost while there and mistook the Ches- ter train for the one to West Chester, which-he should have taken, thereby causing him 'to be late. Bull admits he has a great deal to learn. Experience is a wise but dear teacher. Once he thought he was getting something for nothing, but to his dismay found it cost him one iron man, as he chooses to call a dollar. Chas, with a group of boys, took his chancein picking his friend for a picnic and was, as he thought, lucky to win the girl he wanted. However, as the day progressed he grew shy and depressed, why no one knew 5 but he must have met his Waterloo. Don't forget, Chas, it is not only the pretty feathers that make a bird. P Bull, being a husky lad, played football. However, there was a barrier which Bull could not break down. It was his thought of the fair sex which not only took his heart for playing football but his head also, and for this reason he fell out' with the coach and he never got a chance there- after. Considering the foregoing, since he cannot break this barrier alone, we might suggest a life helpmate, for as Franklin says, In union there is strength. Fm, from Missouri, Z2os.v. no ' ROY VV.

This hairy outgrowth of Conshy came to us with all the high and mighty ways of a senior. This was probably due to the fact that he had been a high official in the Lee Tire and Rubber Company of his home city. In the early 'days of our career at l1Villiamson, Shore was very fond of relating to his class- mates his experience in the high society life of Conshohocken and Norris- town. lfVe believed all that he said, of course. At this time, Mike was in love, but he soon got over it, for awhile. He had now decided to marry rich, so as to escape work, so he began to corre- spond With the forty-thousand-dollar girl. This did not last long, however. Then Bill became head of our matrimonial agency. Following this, he was infatuated with a minister's daughter, and then gave up the idea of marrying altogether. Along with the subject of matrimony, Hairy Bill is very much interested in dancing. He talked so much about it, that he was put on all the dance committees. Every one was anxious to see him show his skill. Finally, his chance for an exhibition came at a party, and we were undeceived. He and Bell almost broke up the party with the excess of perfume which they used. Shore is very fond of his home town, but intends to go West after com- mencement. Timely moneyg strive to win.

He came to us three years ago with a grave and solemn look upon his face and with the air of one bearing the woes of Rohrerstown upon his ear- nest young shoulders. We could help but call him Old Man. But he did not approve of this new name, so he immediately began to argue about it, and once astonished us by the force with which he argued this and other sub- jects. ' But of this period in our hero's life no trace remains but his nickname. The energy he once expended in debate he has turned to more profitable use in successfully holding down the job of baseball manager, and when the Brickshop Warblers start tuning up or when there is a discussion going on about girls Paul is right there with the rest of the bunch.

Before Russell came here he spent much of his time tramping the coun- try around Myerstown with a gun or fishing rod and many are the stories that he has told us of these happy days. But in this last year he no longer favors us with reminiscences of field and stream. His mind is busy with other and far different thoughts. Senior affairs occupy his attention to the exclusion of all else.

VV e believe this hobby is one of the causes of his greatest fault-that of calling 'Hellol Girls when he has the nightmare. Steve has proved his ability as a patternmaker by turning out some of the best work in our shop and also by satisfactorily filling a position at his trade in one of the large shops in this section. His attractive manner and many witty remarks have caused him to become popular and to have a number of friends. We all wish him the best of success in striving for his goal.

Absence makes the heart grow fonderg Peroxide makes the hair grow blonder. President of Literary Society, three terms. Unlike Rip Van Wfinkle or Ichabod Crane, of whom we hear so much in Irving's legendary lore, Herman is a zealous worker in every sense of the word. Rip is faithful to his work and his persistency is bound to win for him that goal of success toward which he is striding. Herman's mind is so completely absorbed by his work that nothing else enters it, not even a kind thought for his female acquaintances. But in the evenings while asleep he dreams. Once he was awakened while sitting on the throne. He tells us he even caught the incense of the rare orchids there. At times Herman,s mind follows along inventive lines and occasionally he tries out some of his experiments at l-C cottage. In the course of one of these so-called experiments he blew out first C to total darkness and when asked what he was endeavoring toaccomplish he said, Tryin' to hook up sumpfuinf' ' Herman has the distinction of being the father of our class, being the oldest? His willingness to oblige others has won for him many friends in our class who in turn try to help him in his work. Gosh dang -it ! 117 Wm MMM STANLEY L. SNVARTS Moscow, PA.

It was not long, however, until his size and method of locomotion got for him the name Cart Horse. Having by this time become well known to his classmates, he was elected Class President for the second term, after which he served the last two terms as Class Treasurer. He also did good work on the football team, and for two years was a tower of strength in cricket. ' Since the last of November, when our instructor in bricklaying, Mr. Ellis, was called to another position, and Miz' Sultzbach, our postgraduate, took his place, Swarts has spent his afternoons in the Freshman brickshop teaching the geezers the first steps in the trade. We expect him to come back for a P. G. course himself before very long. Carty's engaging personality and capacity for making friends will be of great help to him in the commercial world. He enjoys the favor of the faculty and the friendship of his fellow students, and he leaves WVilliamson with the good-will of all who know him. ' Fm disappointed in you. A IIS I WILLIAM I. THOMPSGN. ORELAND, PA. Pattern-maker. Born, September 8, 1896. Tommy, Willie Tommy is a quiet boy, We often wonder Why: But when he gets away from us, O11 my! Oli my! Oh my! just after his arrival here Thompson impressed us as being very quiet and unobtrusive. But since then we have learned some things. Our sus- picions were first aroused by Tommy's absent-mindedness, which seemed to come in spells. In one of these spells he did something quite original. It was in shop and Willie Went up to the band-saw with a piece of Wood. The saw was fairly sharp Qwhen he startedj, so Tommy sawed right through the fourteen nails that were in his piece of Wood without stopping. Then 'he told the boss that the saw needed sharpening. - After this happened We began to investigate and found out something about Willie. First We found that he was very much interested in the French maids back on the estate. Then we found that he visited cabarets. Since then Tommy has been making himself heard and seen. In fact, he seems to be getting hard. T ' Willie has an enormous appetite for a person of his size. He always seems to be hungry. After every request he returns with a generous box under' his arm.

Upon his arrival at Wlilliamson, Carl Stanley was assigned.to a Senior cottage, Third A. He spent one year in this cottage, during which time he became very much attached to it. It was with sad regret that he moved down to First C at the end of his Freshman year. Before we knew him, Carl was quite intimate with the ladies, but in the early part of his first year his relations along this line met with a sudden reversal. It was all because some fair little maid had said to him: Oh! you are only a F reshrnanf' After this Conshy kept away from most of them. But now he seems to be taking heart again. A few Saturdays ago Swartz caught him flirting with a girl on the Chester trolley. The Senior Class, as a whole, was shocked at this. Carl Stanley has a very happy disposition. Usually he gives vent to his feelings by emitting a most horrible sound. He calls it singing, but- At one time Conshy secured a position here at school as expressman between Vllilliamson School station and the school buildings. But there wasn't much money in it, so he soon gave it up. Carl Stanley Vercoe believes in calling people by their full names, not only himself, but others. Vercoe is our Christian Endeavor president and is an earnest worker in that society. He is a good, steady worker in shop-and accomplishes much by his perseverance. . Dorff kid the rich. 110 J.

As president of our class, this young man has served two of the -most successful terms since our class was organized. His helping hand for the one in need and the ready rebuke for the one who deserves it, has been his policy during his entire school career, accordingly his classmates feel greatly indebted to him for this stand which he has taken to better the school life at XrV11liamson. He was manager of our football team and, due in a large measure to his hard work, Williamson last year put a very good team on the field. He proved himself to be master of the business end of this sport when at the :lose of the season the financial standing of the A. A. was much better than it had been for some time, although there had been a greater expense than usual attached to the equipment of the team. Perhaps this genius acquired his business training by being the candy magnaten of our class, but we believe his prohts in this field were small, as he had an exceedingly sweet tooth. As a jew the Duke is unsurpassed, and it is a fact that he can make the average business man believe his stock is Worthless and that he would be doing the merchant a favor by having the garbage man call andcart his goods to a near-by dump. Because he has made use of his opportunities, Vtfinegard ranks among the best of our pattern-makers. VVe feel sure he will make a mark for himself when he gets out into the world.

Most of us came in the afternoon, some earlier, some later. We were assigned to our cottages and later assembled in the auditorium at 3.30 P. M. for the first time as a class. Wie received our first instructions as to our daily routine and discipline. We also received our 'fpink ticket and then we felt as if we were somebody. The rest of the afternoon geezers, as we were called, were to be seen almost anywhere, Finally supper time came and we lined up for our tables. Everybody pronounced it a good supper and went out jubilantly making friends with classmates and upper classmen. At 10 o'c1ock we were very tired and so the bell ringing lights out was welcomed by all. But who could sleep that first night at lhfilliamson with a future like ours in view? i No, it was not necessary for us to wear green buttons, caps or other insignia of Freshmen, we all showed it elsewhere for the first month or so. Some things that we did wear, however, were Seniors' half soles and the like until we profited by their fatherly advice and learned the ropes h On the evening of May 13, 1915, we were given a reception by the Seniors and made to feel that we belonged ere. While we were getting acquainted and accustomed to our work, time for the Inter-Class track meet came around. In this and class baseball we made a fair showing considering that it was our first attempt at athletics. Besides the class games we were well represented on most of the 'varsity teams. After summer vacation we organized and elected our officers for the first term. Time passed quickly and on the memorable day of April 1, 1916, we laid aside the much-used and humilia- ting name of geezer and assumed the more dignified one of Junior. With our becoming Juniors we elected new officers. It was quite evident that we had developed into a class 'strong in both spirit and work. In the inter-class track meet we took second place. In class baseball we won from the Freshmen and lost to the Seniors. VV e have been well represented on the 'varsity track, baseball, tennis, cricket, and football teams, this past season of 1916. From all appearances we will be well represented in basketball, too. Our work has become harder and the fact that we are putting forth a good effort and profiting by the excellent training VVilliamso'n gives was shown by our share of ,the earnings last summer vacation. It has always been our endeavor to do the best and set an example for class that follows. Our aim is high and all those who fol- low in the footsteps of the Class of 1918 I am sure will find success. I To the Seniors who are leaving we are indebted for much. Our one wish in parting is that they shall reach their goal--Success. i ' JOSEPH VV.

I freshman Qlilass PRIL 12, 1916, will indeed be remembered by all the members of the Class of 1919. On this day a band of eighty-five boys climbed the hill from the railroad station to the school. This band of boys was indeed a picturesque sight. They all carried bundles or suit-cases, were keen and alert, viewing with admiration the grounds and buildings which were to be their homes for the next three years. At the top of the hill the boys were met by Mr. Pratt, Director of Xlfilliamson School, who assigned the boys to their respective cottages and told them to assemble in the Chapel at 3.30 P. M. XV e assembled in the Chapel where we were received by Mr. Shrigley, ex-president of the school, Mr. Bit- ting, President, and Mr. Pratt. They gave us short talks and explained to us briefly life at Wlilliamson. After distributing the privilege cards, which would be lost in case of any violation of the rules of the school, we were dismissed. XV e assembled in the dining room at 5.30 P. M., and after eating supper, we' roamed about the grounds, many of usyisiting the upper classmen. VV e soon -returned to our cottages and were in bed long before 10 o'clock, but sleep was an impossibility, all of us thinking of what was going to take place on the morrow. Vlfe all arose at 6 0'clock the next morning and our life at lhfilliamson was really begun. By 5 o'clock that evening we all had a general idea of what was in store for us during the next three years. On May 20, 1916, the Seniors gave a reception to the Freshman Class. This enabled us to become friends with the Seniors, and gave us all an evening of good fellowship. The Freshmen made a veiy good showing in the Interclass Meet, scoring lifteen points. Vlfe, however, were beaten in baseball by the Juniors. There is a lot of good material in our class for athletics, a promising future being predicted. , The Freshman Class extends its most hearty wishes to all the members of the Class of 1917. F. P.

I, I - 5 -V Kaxfqhg ,. A,- i A ,V ' p Tliliilliamsun S tbuul VER since its endowment, Williamson School has enjoyed a unique position among schools which have as their purpose the education of the youth along industrial lines. It is undeniably true that the great suc- cess of this institution has been due largely to the fact that its aim has been not merely the teaching of a trade, but the all-round development of the boy. The call today is for an intelligent producer, not merely a hand. To 'build up the potential value of the graduate and enable him to increase his earning capacity and to become an intelligent producer, is the all-important mission of 'Williamson. Special emphasis is laid on the moral development of the pupil. Mr. NVilliamson's slogan was good men and then good mechanics. To this end, clean, practical living is the principle inculcated in the student by men who add the 'force of example to that of precept. The academic andmoral training given here has resulted in a high type of citizenship, Graduates for years back have easily assumed the duties and responsibilities of positions requiring skill, diligence, honesty, and executive ability. Thus the Williamson graduate who has absorbed and made use of the instruction offered has the best chances in the world for material success. 135 The location of Vifilliamson School is one of the many details which testify to the good judgment and keen foresight of its founder. Situated in the heart of an exceptionally healthy district, away from the congestion of city streets, there is every incentive to work and play. The natural advantages at hand are the means of a great amount of pleasure and benefit. For one who understands and appreciates the wonders of Dame Nature, the gently rolling meadows clad in emerald green, or the walled aisles and the dark, cool recesses of the neighboring woods afford abundant recreation. In the summer time the sounds which drift up through the little grove around the swimming pond tell better than words of joys gathered from a plunge in its crystal waters 5 or, when the days grow colder and winter holds the landscape in its icy grasp, busy skaters may be seen darting here and there across the ice. Athletics at Williainson are, as in most schools, a fruitful source of amusement and form a strong bond of union among the fellows. Besides the regular scheduled games, a series of inter-class, section, and cottage games are played. These create a friendly rivalry among the fellows, and in many cases uncover material for the 'var- sity teams. A The trades taught in the shop departments are: Agriculture, Bricklaying, Carpentry, Operating Engineer- ing, Pattern-making and the Machine trade. The course in each is a correlation of theory and practice and is designed to produce first-class mechanics. Apprentices immediately upon graduation obtain employment as jour- neymen at journeymen's wages. The mechanical instructors are masters of their respective trades and capable of imparting their skill and knowledge to their pupils. Much stress is laid on actual practice. During the first few months of his apprenticeship the boy is made familiar witl1 the tools and equipment of his particular trade, and is taught to handle them swiftly and accurately, after which the different trade steps are taken up in logical sequence. In the first two years and four months of his course, an eight-hour day is divided equally between shop and academic work. After summer vacation of his senior year eight hours per day are devoted to shop practice, thus adding to the ease of transition to commercial fields. In all the shops the bonus and time card systems are in use. Compensation for bonus earned is given in the form of added time to a holiday leave of absence. The time card teaches the learner the value of system and develops an appreciation of time He is acquainted with commercial standards of work and a comparative study is made. This tends to create a commercial atmosphere in the shop. On account of its bounteous endowment, VVilliamson does not need to produce anyhwork for the market, all work being entirely instructional. This is one of the most essential points in a school's success since the sale of 13,6 product invariably interferes with the teaching of trades. In the upkeep and improvement of the plant, as much material product is made and used as can be worked in satisfactorily, but the student is never sacrificed when a principle is to be covered. ' The oft-repeated reference to the lack of interest on the part of students who are not producing saleable articles is difficult to undestand. During the vacation months of July and August in 1916, one hundred and sixty- eight students found employment in their respective trades. The sum earned was seven thousand nine hundred thirty-one dollars, making an average of forty-seven dollars and seventy-seven cents for all three classes. The aver- age amount earned by members of the Senior Class was seventy dollars. In former years when commencement season approached, employers were apprized by letter of the fact that within a short time a number of men specially trained for such interests as they directed, would be seeking employ- ment. In this way a strong co-operative interest has been developed. Now, instead of being compelled to seek opportunities for their graduates, lfVi1liamson is not in a position to meet the demand. The llVllll3.1HSO11 policy of better men and better mechanics means for employers greater efficiency. In the Academic department stress is laid upon those subjects which have a direct bearing on the trade work. The Hrst six months's work embraces a review of arithmetic, geography, history and grammar. Later the more advanced subjects of physics, chemistry, English composition, American and British literature, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, strength of materials, and steam are studied. The bonus system is applied to good advantage in this department also. Examinations in every subject are given quarterly and final examinations to those falling below a grade of seventy per cent. in any subject. - A thorough working knowledge is imparted to the student in mechanical drawing. The first few months' work embodies practice in the use of equipment, in lettering, and in details, after which the work branches off into those principles which apply only to each particular trade. Vtfithin comparatively recent vears a new element has entered into the curriculum of Williamsoii School. Rec- ognizing the opportunities which the industrial field offers to manual training instructors, the trustees and officers have instituted a course for the training of teachers. In each shop department there is a post-graduate of that trade who for one year assumes the position of an assistant to the regular instructor. The course also includes extended work in academic subjects such as public speaking, management, history of education, psychology, and economics. The success of those who have matriculated in this new department forecasts a brilliant future for Williamsoii teachers. T37 Une of the most prominent features of 'Williamson School is the system of cottages instead of dormitories. The cottage is a three-story stone building accommodating twenty-four boys, a matron, and a teacher. Two boys occupy the same room and share in the care of it. On the first floor are the necessary lavatories and bath- rooms and a large comfortable recreation room. The air of geniality and the home-like atmosphere pervading the cottage is due in a large part to the efforts of our matrons and teachers, to whom we are much indebted for their kindness and interest in us, At intervals throughout the winter, entertainments and lectures are given in the school auditorium. Some of the lectures are of a serious nature and are given with a view of impressing the pupils with a due sense of what the world expects of them as men. For lovers of books, there is an extensive library which contains many interesting volumes both for entertain- ment and instruction. In conjunction with the library is a reading room containing the most important trade journals and periodicals. Every day at Vtfilliamson is opened with chapel service in the auditorium. Every Sunday morning each boy is required to attend the church of his denomination in the nearest vicinity. On Sunday evenings song service is held and on Monday evenings the Christian Endeavor Society meets. This organization undoubtedly exercises a potent influence over its members which is felt long after leaving the school. To the officers, teachers, and matrons of Williamson School and most especially to our very capable Presi- dent, Mr. Harry S. Bitting, we owe an ever-increasing debt of gratitude for their untiring efforts in our behalf. ' A HARROLD GILL. 138 gD'uuniJer's may at williamsun CTOBER TVVENTY-FIRST, nineteen hundred and sixteen, marked the silver anniversary of the found- ing of the lvilliamson Free School of Mechanical Trades. Year by year, for twenty-five years, this school has been steadily increasing its contribution to the world in the form of good mechanics and desirable Citizens. In order to properly observe the day, invitations were sent out to the twelve hundred members of the Alumni to attend the Founder's Day exercises in the school auditorium. The great interest which the graduates take in school affairs as well as their sincere feeling of affection for their Alma Mater, were manifested by the large number present. During the morning the graduates, many of whom were accompanied by their relatives and friends, occupied the time in greeting old school acquaintances, mingling with the present students, and exploring the old, familiar haunts of former years. Happy are they who leave the scenes of early youth to the ministry of Time! Going back, one finds the riveralittle brook, the long stretch of woodland only a grove in the midst of a clearing, and the upland pastures that once seemed mountains, are naught but stony, barren fields. Luncheon was served in the dining room from twelve until one-thirty. The afternoon exercises were conducted by Mr. Harry S. Bitting, President of XNilliamson School. The open- ing number was a selection by the School Orchestra. Following this the address of welcome was delivered by Mr. Vernon L. Rupp, one of the Class of 1898, at present assistant director and instructor in the operating engineer- ing course at VVilliamson. The response was made by Mr. Ernest R. Rosse, Class of 1907, assisted by a represen- tative of each of the graduated classes in a two-minute message. Next on the program were the addresses by the members of our Board of Trustees, the first of which was delivered by the Hon, John Wanamaker, chairman of the Board. In his speech Mr. Wanamaker spoke of the great need which the world has for men-clean, honest men who are capable of assuming the responsibiities of American citizens. More than ever, he continued, will the world have need of such men at the close of the present war, and it is just this sort of men which Williamson School is turning out. ' One of the especially noteworthy events of the day was the presentation of diplomas by the Alumni Asso- ciation to Mr. John M., Shrigley, member of the Board of Trustees and former President of Williamson, President Harry S. Bitting, and Miss Abbie A. Eyre, Principal of the Academic Department. These diplomas were -given in recognition of their long and unselfish service, which began with the opening of the school. After a few closing remarks by our President, the program was concluded by the singing of the school song, in which all were invited to take part. The entire event was peculiarly gratifying to us all as undergraduates since it brought us in actual contact with men who have had the same opportunities which we now possess and who have made a place in the industrial world for themselves and all Williamson men. . HARROLD GILL. 139 - initial iiaappenings at Tlldiilliamsun HE annual reception to the Freshmen by the Seniors was the first social function of our Senior year. This instilled school spirit into the new class and created a bond of union between classes. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the School was celebrated October Zlst. Many reunions between longiparted classmates took place and everywhere were old grads greeting one another with a hearty handshake or an affectionate slap on the shoulder. After luncheon exercises were held in the auditorium, during which speeches were made by represntatives oi every class graduated. Shortly after this the C. E. Society celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. The Floyds, in a performance of magic and sleight of hand, on October 27th, opened the first of the series of lectures and entertainments. Dr. R. Miles, on November 17th, gave in a very interesting Way a general impression of some world-wide known men. . An illustrated travel lecture by Mr. H. Ostrander was given December 13th. W' e learned of the places of interest and something of the people and conditions of the different countries. After the lecture a dance was held, excellent dance music being furnished by the School Orchestra. We are indebted to Mr. R. McKenty, Warden ofthe Eastern Penitentiary, for the excellent advice he gave during his talk january 11th. A Ye Old Alumni Dance, held at Lulu Temple, January 13th, was declared a success by all present. Many students attended. . A good character study was given by Miss I. Kling, January 16th, in the interpretation of the play, The Regeneration of the Criminal. The Senior Dance was held February 3d in the Williamson Auditorium. It was successful in every respect. The Morrow Brothers' Quartet entertained February 14th with a well-balanced program of vocal and instru- mental selections. On March 2d the Caveny Company will present a varied program of music and freehand sketching. The first annual Alumni Dance will be held March Sd. The Senior Class will be the invited guests of the Alumni Association. I Dr. Floyd Tomkins, a noted church worker and lecturer, will speak April 17th. . We are now preparing for our class play, The Captain of Plymouth, a musical comedy, to be produced on Class Day. All concerned are working hard to make this a grand climax to a very successful season. After receiving our diplomas Commencement Day we will adjourn to Kugler's Restaurant, Philadelphia, where our first banquet will be held. President Winegard as toastmaster will call on several classmates for speeches, after which the presentations will be made. These are always enjoyed by the fellows, but one thing, not yet mentioned, will be enjoyed more. The Class of 1917 wishes to thank all who have helped tomake our affairs successful and wishes success to the under classmen in their endeavors. E.

It is an intensifier of the emotions and a vital factor in racial uplift. If entertainment for a few short hours was all we obtained from music there would not be so many musical organizations at VVilliamson, namely, the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band. The Glee Club has twenty-five members, including .an accompanist. It is organized at the end of the Fresh- man year and regular weekly practices are held. As our abilities increase We are given more difficult selections until by the end of our Senior year we are singing some of the best musical gems. The Club not only takes part in the entertainments held during the fall and Winter at Williamson, but also sings at various social functions held in the neighborhood. Owing to the regulations of the school the activities of the Club are confined to the school and neighborhood. The Quartette is chosen at the end of the junior year. They sing at some of the entertainments held at school, at church services, and often accept invitations to sing elsewhere. 143 ' Q I THE ORCHESTRA Dieruff Ii1Ef6I' Spaeter Renouf Mack ey Heckler Corbett Johnston Morrow Reich Sou:-wine England Godschall fLeaderJ Davis Palmer HHPIYIOYI - The Orchestra, under the able leadership of Charles Godschall, '18, has succeeded in attaining high efficiency. It was organized not with the sole purpose of entertainment, but also to teach those who showed musical talent along that line. At the present time there are about twenty members. The VVilliamson Orchestra is considered to be the best in the surrounding district and as such receives many invitations to play at various social functions. The Band was organized in 1915 principally for the purpose of arousing a little more enthusiasm and school spirit, which seemed to be lying dormant at that time. That it did arouse something was shown by the increased attendance at the games. It now accompanies the teams to all the important games and ably assists in celebrating. Concerts are given at various places in the neighborhood, and on Halloween the members parade in Chester with the student body who are there that night for a good time. Our Band, as it is called, has a good reputa- tion and much credit is due the leader, Louis Davis, 'l7. In closing, I wish to extend to Mrs. Gilbert and Miss Evans, our former and present music teachers, without whose assistance we would all be severely handicapped, our 'sincere thanks for placing music at Williamson on a high standa1'd.

During this time an enthusiastic spirit prevailed which gave a lot of encouragement for a greater and better organization. Because of the late spring our baseball team had little practice before the season openedg nevertheless there were many hard-fought games and the sea- son was' considered successful. Last spring Willianison developed one of the best track teams that ever represented the school. On Alumni Day a very interesting track meet and baseball game took place, the contestants being members of the Alumni and the athletes of our Associa- tion. The events were enjoyed by every one present and the receipts with the Alumni donations helped us financially. June 10th we l1eld our Interclass Track Meet, the events of which were well contested by the representatives of each class. The first Saturday of October we played our first game of football. The season was exceptionally successful, owing to the clever playing and team work of its members. From all appearances the basketball team has a bright future before it. The managers and assistants of the various teams are deserving of a great deal of credit for the good management and for the schedules so wisely and carefully planned. Each one determined to make his sport pay, hence our Athletic Association has been entirely self-supporting. The members are grateful to Mr. Pratt for his advice and assistance given in the Advisory Board meetings and to Messrs. Burr, Ellis and Scott for their voluntary coaching. Some of our greatest accomplishments this year have been a new mailing system, a very efficient system for collecting dues, and a revision of the constitution. Financially the year proved to be a decided success. After purchasing a complete outfit for each team of the four major sports, incurring a sum of three hundred dollars there still remains a surplus of one hundred dollars to deposit in the sinking fund. This leaves a balance of two hundred dollars with which to begin the new year, I wish to thank every one who assisted in making this term successful. I sincerely hope there Will be a wise selection of executives for the coming year and that they will endeavor to establish a still greater and better Ath- letic Association at Williaiiison. EDWARD L.

Treau., '18 BENNET, Secretary, '19 Qtbletin Qntihitizs OVV that the athletic career of the Class of 1917 has been consturimated and we, as observers and not as contestants, look back upon the wonderful achievements of our noble heroes, the heart of even the most inert is filled with almost perfect happiness. The spirit of '17, like that of '76, has been perpetuated throughout, with the result that nothing less th an great success has been attained. The first year was rather uneventful in that it lacked in things sensational. It soon became evident, however, that the correct propensity was present and that greater results would be forthcoming in the near future. It was thus we entered our second year, enriched by much valuable experience. Passing through the seasons of the various sports, we find that things are as they should be. The Freshmen have been beaten in the annual games of baseball and basketball, while in track they failed to make any decisive score. But here in track is where the real spirit of '17 blazes forth in its full radiance. The outcome is that a score of fifty-three and a half points is made, establishing a new school record for the highest number of points made by a junior class in the inter-class track mcet. And now we enter upon the last and most brilliant year of all, possessors of confidence, experience and energy which are the greatest factors in the production of the successful athlete, but which are only achieved by persistent hard work and proper training. The first sport encountered was track and once again, after overcoming innumerable barriers, success in almost the highest degree was obtained. Besides breaking several of the school records, numerous trophies were captured, some from every event. Like track, baseball prospects were very auspicious at the start, but the result at the season's end was much less gratifying. A general inconsistency of good team work was conspicuous and, in consequence, a large per- centage of the contests were lost. Cricket and tennis were unusually successful, but the crowds of spectators and rooters, with their contagious live-wire spirit, which were prevalent at all major sport games, were lacking and these games were but a transient pleasure to be enjoyed as a diversion from the usual routine of spoony life. However, football incited a new spirit and from its beginning to its finish the season was one glorious uproar, causing many a youthful heart to fiutter excidedly when anticipations were fulfilled by the team of husky grid- iron warriors. The Northeast game was particularly notable for this fact and it caused even the most quiet to priak forth in a voluminous, if not melodious, cheer, while the faces of all were illuminated with a radiance of ig t. Last, but not least, is basketball, where candidates were numerous and with a tidal wave of spirit a team of high standing continually fought and won battles in honor of the name we all love so well. And now may I wish to my successor the gratification of writing about athletic activities as great, if not greater, than the standard achieved and established by the C Class of 1917. May its members live long and prosper. J. RUSSELL YocoM, Sporting Editor. 150 Qnbnnl Bewrhs 1M 100-Yard Dash . .. .... . ....

Mgr.J Barnes Fitzkee Robertson Schweiker CCa,pt.J Macaulay Bell Guss Ease 365111 S each baseball season passes into history it is customary to express an opinion either favorably or other- wise upon the career of the team. If one were to judge only by the number of games won and l0S1Z this season might be called a failure, but when we consider that our old rival, Girard College, met its first and only defeat of the season at the han ds of our team, and also when we consider the outcome financially I think we are justified in calling the season a success. The prospects seemed bright indeed when at the iirst call for candidates a large squad, including six vet- erans and a number of men from the reserve team of the previous year, reported for practice. - After hard out-door drill for two weeks we were ready for our first game, which was against Drexel Insti- tute. Fortunately for Drexel, however, we had a belated snowfall the evening before the game so the opening of the season was delayed until the next Saturday, when we met La Salle College on our field. The game-was closely contested throughout, but we came out the losers by the score 3-2. By the time the next two games were over all the illusory brightness of the early part of the season was dis- pelled. The team, particularly the infield, showed so many points of weakness that a rearrangement of the line-up became necessary. This, however, availed us nothing as about the middle of the season several of our best players were disqualified, including Shaneman, one of our mainstays of the pitching staff. The team was repaid in a measure for its hard work during the season by taking the final game from Girard College. Captain Schweiker proved to be an efficient leader and was one of our best hitters. Lutz and Shaneman, with Guss and Duckworth behind the bat, constituted the batteries. Too much credit cannot be given to Lutz and Shaneman for their excellent work both in the box and at the bat. Guss and Duckworth were wide-awake men behind the bat. Barnes, from the time of his advent on first base covered his position carefully and often bril- liantly. Bell made a very creditable showing at second base and was always a dependable hitter. Macauley and Miller at short and third deserve considerable credit for their good work during the season. Robertson, Mullen and Fitzkee took care of the outfield in such a manner that it was exceedingly hard to put anything by them. Witli Captain-elect Mullen, Barnes, Macauley and Fitzkee to serve as a nucleus for next year's team it is my belief that Willianison will have a successful team in the season of 1917. J. P.

Manager Wxnegard Pisel Goos Gearhart Hampp Mackey Guest Guss Wertley rank HE Inter-Class meet on june 10th closed one of the most successful track seasons in VVilliamson's history. Our success was due in part to the fact that we started to train early in March and were very earnest in the practice throughout the season. The first date on the schedule, April 15th, was a dual meet with Drexel Institute, and our older and more experienced opponents were our conquerors to the score of 42 to 38. This was a very interesting meet, the out- come not being decided until the last event had taken place. Gur next meet, April 2Zd, was also a dual meet with Northeast High School, and we were victorious to the score of 55 to 44. Captain Hampp was the particular star in this meet, scoring a total of 17 points, During the next week we held trials for the 440-yard dash in order to get the best possible team to represent Vtfilliamson at the University of Pennsylvania relay races. Captain Hampp, Guest, XfVertley and Guss were selected. VVe were in the highest preparatory school class and finished in second place. The two following Saturdays, May 6th and 13th, We attended the Swarthmore and Glen Mills Interscholastic meets. At Swarthmore the relay team finished third, Guest taking third place in the 880-yard dash, and Captain Hampp third place in the high jump. At Glen Mills the relay team finished third again, and Captain Hampp broke the school high jump record, jumping 5 feet 8 inches. The followingdate, May 20th, was Alumni Day at Wfilliamson and we held a dual meet with a team corn- posed ofmembers of the Alumni. As was to be expected the score was 71 to 18 in favor of the 'varsity. As we were unable to make train connections we did not attend the interscholastic meet at Perkiomen Semi- nary, May 27th. May 30th found us at a meet held by the Strawbridge and Clothier Athletic Association, in which we cap- tured third place in the team, scoring first place in the relay, second and third in the pole vault, second in the high jump and, third in the shot put. The season ended with the Inter-Class meet. The meet was won by the Class of '17 with 62 points, Class of '18 second, with 19 points, and Class of '19 third, with 17 points. During the season Captain Hampp broke the high jump record, jumping 5 feet 8 inches, and the shot put record, making it 45 feet 6 inches. Wertley broke the broad jump record, jumping 21 feet 3 inches, Goos ran the 100 yards in 101-5 seconds, which exceeded Gramm's record of 1906 by 1-5 second. We feel as if the season had been successful since We have broken four school records. In closing I wish that Captain Goos and Manager Mcliee may have a very successful season, and with the good material still remaining in school the prospects seem favorable. ' ' HARRY L.

Mgr.J Hampp Duckworth Burr CCoachJ Moore Robertson Winegard CMgr.J Fitzkee Keim L t Ehly Bell CCa,pt.J Brgwn Guss Buzby u z arnes junthall EAR the middle of June candidates were called out and about sixty-five men responded, among whom were ten letter men. Light signal practice was comnenced at once, but owing to the divided summer vaca- tion it had to be omitted during July and August. Upon our return in September, however, practice took real form and scrimmage was started. VV ith the brightest prospects for a good team, better than he had had in several years, Coach Burr started at once to develop a team that would be a real representative of Wlilliamson. There was a great deal of rivaliy for each position and as the days passed the squad gradually dwindled down to about forty men. During the first two weeks Captain Bell broke his collar bone, which kept him from playing in the first three games. Hiller acted as captain in Bell's absence. ' At the approach of our first game of the season with Northeast spirit ran high and every one eagerly awaited the coming fray. The result of the game was an overwhelming victory for us, the score being 32-O. The team played with great consistency and clearly showed their superiority over the High School boys in every play, the greatest gains, however, being made by straight football. This victory over our old rivals. raised the highest enthusiasm and confidence in our men. But in the Penn Freshmen game the Freshmen outweighed us considerably and clearly proved themselves out of our class, the final score being 20-2, our two points being scored by a safety, ' After another hard week of practice we went to Hightstown, N. I., to meet Peddie. Here a lively battle ensued. XV e had the ball in their territory most of the time, but just at the crucial moment the team faltered and failed to score a touchdown. live scored first, however, when Guss kicked a field goal in the second quarter. Dur- ing the final period, when within fifteen yards of their goal,Va forward pass was intercepted, which finally resulted in a touchdown for them and a 7-3 defeat for us. This was the lowest score for Peddie during the season. The next game was with Temple Prep., and was played in Media. This game was a repetition of the North- east game with a score of 28-0 in our favor. We played one of the grittiest games of the season with Albright College at Myerstown, although handicapped by the unavoidable absence of Coach Burr and Captain Bell. Albright scored first with a touchdown and kicked the goal, but in the last period we came hack strong and Robertson made a sensational run for a touchdown and alsio7kicked the goal. A field goal was attempted, but missed the mark by just a few inches. The final score was a - tie. The Villanova Prep game ended with a 16-9 score in their favor. VV e next traveled to Atlantic City and the shore boys held us to a O-O score. Although the season was not a brilliant success the team was one of the best developed at XfVilliamson, the Penn Freshmen being the only team that defeated us by their superiority. Coach Burr is to be commended for his untiring efforts in behalf of the squad. I wish to extend to future managers wishes for abundant success. ALLAN V.

After the usual weeding processs was carried out about eighteen men remained on the squad. The schedule for this season, '16 and '17, was the most difficult ever attempted by a Vlflilliamson team. Penn Freshmen, in the opening game, defeated us, while in the next two contests we won most decisively, Villa Nova Prep. going down to overwhelming defeat and Brown Prep. receiving the same treatment. In the next contest with Bethlehem Prep. we had a patched team, but lost by but one point. Germantown Boys' Club and next Perkiomen Seminary defeated us in turn VV e can but look back upon these reverses as the work of Brer Jinx, since through injuries and ineligibility We seldom had a full first-string team. Captain Robertson deserves considerable credit for the leadership he gave, although on the side lines a great deal of the time through injuries. His spirit was nevertheless a guiding influence. Guss, the 1917 Gibraltar, played in his usual brilliant style and prevented many tallies for our opponents. In Sultzback, our other guard, we had a man who could be depended upon for strong defensive work and generally he scored several goals each game. The pivot position, one of the difficult ones, was ably held down by Goos, a new man in the ranks, but never- theless a consistent player. Buzby, Robertson's running mate at forward cannot be lauded too highly for his clever work. Lutz, utility guard, and Macauley, utility forward, played excellent games 5 in fact, there was little preference when it came to a decision between these men and the regulars. Goos Macauley, and Buzby will be carried over for another season and with such a nucleus a fast team should be built. ,As the mouthpiece for the Class of l917, I wish Williainson more successful seasons in the future.

Owing to a very wet spring, we were not able to hold try-outs until shortly before our first game. Consequently we had little time for practice. just before the first game Captain Powell suffered a severe inju1y, which kept him out of tennis until late in the season. This was a serious handicap to our team. VV'e opened the season with VVesttoWn Boarding School, at home. Our team was not in good shape and after a hard-fought match was defeated, 3-Z. Our next opponents were the strong XlVCSt Philadelphia High team on Alumni Day. Due to over excitement and too much refreshments our team was vanquished by the score, 5-1. On May 27th we journeyed to Wfesttown and met our Quaker brothers, who were no more skillful than our- selves, but on account of our confusion in playing before the fairer sex they defeated us for the second time by the same score, 3-Z. A We ended our season, however, in good style by defeating a strong aggregation of tennis stars from Swarth- more High School, 3-2. All our players were in the game and played true to form. Powell's work in singles was especially good, and Alexander and Johnston featured, winning the doubles in a great exhibition of team work. Alexander was elected captain and Pisel manager of the next years' team. We wish them the best of suc- cess in the coming season, DANIEL L.

Among these were the veteran players, Renout, Swartz, Vercoe, and Fegley. , Through the eiforts of Captain Renouf and these old players a winning ttam was soo11 developed which showed its quality in the game with Westoxvn Boarding School, the first game on our schedule. Having made such a splendid showing against this strong team we confidently looked forward to a victorious season. However, our annual game with Haverford'could not be played because of some trouble in obtaining grounds. Likewise we did not meet our long-standing rival, Penn Charter, as our schedules could not be made to agree. Nevertheless on the whole it was a very successful season, and the support' given proved that cricket is to have a long life at Williamson. To Captain Fegley and under-class members of this year's team I wish to express my regret that so little opportunity was given them this year, and hope that next season will be marked by a full schedule and decisive victories.

Step up, ladies and gentlemen, and behold one of the most stupendous strings of wood-butchers that have ever been gathered together under the scintillating calcimine of student life at NVillia.rnson School. Come one, come all, and gaze with wonder at the imposing array projected by the inspired eye of the camera upon one of the foregoing pages. . ln the upper row to the right you see Doc Gaw, one of the finest examples of how to get through Willie without working, while the gentleman alongside of him, Mr. Roy Schweiker, is one of the finest specimens of what can be accomplished by working. In the same row are Al Benner, Animal Leepard, and B1'er Gill. Below them come Bull Schollenberger, HH. L. Mackey, and Reds Combs-three of a kind, 'nuff sed. Besides these are Indian I-Iampp, Ich Stingel and jew Powell, the two-foot rule wizard. But you may ask, Wl1at has this apt aggregation done to warrant so much prominence? Listen, then, and we will tell you a few of their remarkable escapades, although a tenth cannot be told, for to recount all that they have done would fill so many volumes that they would make the Congressional Library look like a Parisienne. With the muse we may exclaim, For 155 always fair Weather Vtlhen good fellows get together. At least it has nearly always been pretty smooth sailing for the 1917 carpenters, although they have run up against one or two squalls and perhaps lost a few men in their three years of existence, but in general they have proved that it is possible to stick together, to have a good time, and to go through one of the hardest courses on a minimum amount of work. Of cou1'se there are a few exponents of the art of working among them, shining examples of which are the Animal and I-Iampp. But to balance them are the Bull and Jew Powell and others who never have been known to do a scrap of work except under exceeding pressure and then never more than an hour at a time. As far as their deeds are concerned, the '17 carpenters will be remembered for a long time in the history of their class, for if there was anything doing from a keg spiel to a championship football game, they were right there to stay to the finish with their boots on. VVhile the exponents of the keg are dear to the hearts of all of us, we will refrain from mentioning names, but of our athletes we will speak more fully. Run over the list of names and see for yourself, fair reader, how our Alma Mater has been supported in her athletics. There is Indian Hampp, who has had two years of 'varsity football, and who shines on the track, Mackey, manager of 'varsity track '16, Jew Powell, who has starred in tennis for four seasonsg Bull, who played several football gamesg then Schweik, who helped out the baseball team so well that nothing short of a stick of dynamite' or an army mule could have dislodged him. No one can predict what will transpire when this bunch is turned loose on the unsuspecting public. In fancy's eye we can see Benner extracting gold from sea water by the cyanide processg Lord Guy with the dys- pepsia and a Sunday school classg Herman making great dynamic changes in the scientific and intellectual world, and Chas, a convert to Mormonism with twenty-live wives and one hundred and seventeen children about his kneesg but here fancy's eye is blurred and we can only exclaim VVait and see. HARROLD GILL. IQ6 TO RELAY TEAM Here's to dear old Seventeen, The name which we all cherish! No success without labor Is ours until we perish. Track is where we shine the most And we've gathered trophies galoreg Our heroes are still unsatisfied 5 When they leave they'1l fight for more. Hampp, the captain of the team, Runs, jumps, and puts the shot, And as for generalship you'll find, A better man couldn't be got. Lanky Joe Guest is of sprinting fame With the Heetness of a deer, To watch him flying around the bend You'd think he did it from fear. And Wertley runs and jumps as wellg The kangaroo has nothing on him. Railroad ties are his track to train Thrice a week when the light is dim. Then there's Guss, the all-s-tar of the school 3 He's excellent in the gym. Has won four W's in the sports And he sure knows how to win. Now that we've met the relay team VVe see what a line bunch they are, And there's several more things which they did this year To deserve a new record bar. I Last is our manager, Mackey, Another Eddie of spoony fame. He's proud as one of this track team To help preserve Williamson's name. TO TUNE OF SAVED Hope. Save me from a Hunk this time, Save me, dear old horse of mine, No shuffling feet, For my horse is complete. I'll be saved, saved, saved. Faith Go, dear old horsey, go, For Saturday is near you know. It's an awful hard drill, But you'll fill the bill, And you'll save, save, save. Ecstasy Saved from a Hunk that time, Thanks to this horse of mine. Nail the flag to the mast For Chemistry and English are passed, And Fm saved, saved, saved. MISTAKES WE ALL MAKE Scene-McClellan standing in Sixty-ninth Street Terminal gaping at passers-by. Fat lady approaches, extracts coin from purse, steps upon his feet, places coin in his mouth and expects tonnage to be regis- tered. Curtain. Patents applied for on this weighing machine. First on our roll is Bunker, WV ho is better known as Mitt g He made love to the girls in Pottstown, But to them it made no diif. Next in line comes Crowellg He fell in love with Pearl. just kid him about her or the arsenal And l1e's up in an awful whirl. Eggert is next of love's heroesg He's fond of the children, you seeg If you josh him about kindergartens Helll say they're at least twenty-three. Our friend, Bill Emswiler, is next, And he's the most fickle of allg But wait till Mary answers his letter, Then the Deacon will surely fall. And Forny is just like the others, Only he's too indilterent for mine 3 For instance, since summer vacation A Junior has beaten his time. Our biggest masher is Grayshon, Who put Stcney's money in peril 3 It seems when they're calling together They'd both like to have the same girl. And his roomy, Bill Greenleaf, is guilty Of taking the Baby to raiseg CZ, 1917. T99 But they say he couldn't get accustomed To this strange kid's childish ways. Next comes funny joe Guest, 'W hom the girls all like to excite, He goes to see Kitty in Chester, And he tries to tell us she's white. Here's to the kid of our shop, Who always wore a black tie, But he's taking a liking to Brown, Across from where he gets pie. And now comes Senor Natale, Who is much in love with Marie, He thinks that he'll soon get married And move back to dear Italy. XVoim is our next victim, NVhose exploits are known far and wide With the lassies down on the Neck And Kit on the New jersey side. His side partner Weikel's another VVho falls for most anythingg And he tells us he's saving his money To buy Ethel's- engagement ring. And last, but not least, is the Jew, VVhom the fellows often call Schmidt Ridley Park and West Phillie for him, And he claims he's never been hit Moyer- I'll bet you a dollar I can run around the track in a minute. Gotta stopwatch? Riggs- I-Io, Eddie! never mind the stop-watch. Get a calendar. Gaw to Powell- How wide is that three-foot door? McClellan, after a vain search through his geome- try- Miss Eyre, I canlt find the answers. Student to Matron- How do you clean your clothes with gasoline? . Matron- By drinking it. Student- I did not ask what you would like me to do. 200 Duckworth, illustrating a word in English- The 'larvae' of the volcano was hard. Director- Boy! I want to see you in my office. Stingel, partaking of his first dinner at Vlfilliam- son- I'll see you later. Director- !QXx? She- How would you like to take a nice long walk? Swarts- Chl Fine l Fine ! She- Well don't let me stop you. Brown called Yocom an Irish Jew when he is as German as a submarine.

L'ENVOI ON ith Apologies to Rudyard Kiplingj Wheii the last strength class is over, and the last hard tests are past, And our days at Willie are ended, the days that so quickly have past, And our trunks have been sent to the station, and our rooms are so dreary and bare, NVe shall long for the faces now absent,-and the friends and fellowship rare. And the class meets and all the athletics will be but fond dreams of the past, . All our hardships will seem robed in glory when We think that this day is our last. Vlfhen last April made us all Seniors, with light hearts we welcomed it then, But now that it's over and ended why can't we start over again? HARROLD GILL.
