Patiently, he explained that it was the Q , V Senior Annual of the VVilmington High School, that it was first begun in ! i Q 1924, and that it was now completing its fourth successful publication. This in- p' , formation was received with much interest and concern by at least one member ' N of the group, who brought forward this question, Why did they call it the Blue 5: g 'f Chickn? Your editor was trapped just like a teacher Who is asked a question he 'Q 'Y should know but doesn't. I Q However, to get down to facts, he has found that the Blue Chick was so named p S by popular vote of its originators, the classes of '24 and '25, with just as evident a J gc- reason as any other worthwhile article. We all know that most of the graduates of PE our school choose to finish their education at the University of Delaware. Since the K ' College Annual is called the c'Blue Hen , because of the state it represents, it was 9 'Q deemed fitting to name the high school annual Blue Chick, because it was younger , t and in preparation for the Alma Mater to be. We are proud to say, though, that A 2,4 we feel that the Chick is fast growing into the proportions of the Hen. bg: 6 1 Q o 0 i '- Q Concernzng Student Government 1 ' A O I N our high school, there have been many discussions and debates on the ad- i viseability of student government. Many persons have even asked why it . .5 L, 'J has never been attempted or have wondered if it ever would be tried. These :. ' I people do not, apparently, realize that student government is in operation today in A their own school. True, it is not full student government, but it is a form which is ' working toward that end. In order to understand what is meant by this, let us see , 5 what student government means. ?: F Many people have an idea that student government implies the direction of N ' school affairs by a few selected students who form a council. However, that is not ' Q exactly the case. We might say that student government is the direction of school ' activities by the student body through a representative group, termed the student ' - council. This body functions with the advice of the principal of the school. It can 35 Y 1 readily be seen, from this, that the real object of the plan is to give all pupils an N Y experience outside of their routine class work. This, then, is the perfected form of f 0 student government. In order, however, to successfully operate that form, some ' previous experience is very desireable. We know of several places where experiments ' -54 with student government have been a failure, because the plan was thrust too gg 7 suddenly upon the student body. To prevent this condition the modified form of ' F student government, or student participation, as it is sometimes called,-comes in. ' , If those of you who have been acquainted with our high school for the past ' B few years will think, you can in all probability recall the time when there were but f 4 36 few clubs associated with the school. You will then remember how, as the years 75 , passed, others were formed. You will remember when the first Traffic Squad took Q., Q up its duties, and you will recall the first Advisory Councils. All of these clubs have O , been formed with ideas directed toward student government. The aims are to give , B Q , Continued on page 219 L 4 emi - u w Lgslf as 0 ' W LT 5 X, L I J D' C' A - H W :mum C X 2 affix V N ' ,, , MV -5 ' :X xx QW 1 , . wr, - QE , Hg Q QL N1 W, j 'f 85' gpg f mp, ' NW Wk K H 5 J Wfikff 4 M I H',f4g.,,, , , . .

Channing Wagner P 5 ODAY society demands that the schools shall prepare the individual pro- pf. Ji I perly to perform the functions ofa good citizen. The good citizen will have -1 , ming the highest ideals, the best principles of life and conduct, and will be best 4 4 disposed towards his neighbors. He will know what comprise the ideals of good 9 E, citizenship and the elements of good character. ' i Thus the ke note ofschool is character buildin . 'W k ow that the measure 1 ,S 7 y g e n 3 A 94 of a nation is not its wealth or its size, but the character of its people. E' v We have been entrusted with a wonderful heritage and it is our duty and re- ' sponsibility to pass it on to the generations which are to follow us, more beautiful 9 K and worthy than when it was placed in our care. ' 34 School represents Society in Miniature. It is like a great game in which there ' are rules and players. Team work is a necessary part of the game. Each one must fq ,FP do his or her part faithfully and well. This working together is called cooperation. ' , Q The making of this book is the result of cooperation on the part of pupils. 'B We only learn by doing. A valuable lesson is taught by the completion of such a ' 'P project by the school community. 1' f In cooperating with others for the common good, we learn certain principles of 4 Q conduct which comprise the ideals of citizenship. We must be honest in the per- 'Ar formance of the task assigned to us. To cooperate faithfully we must have steadi- 1 Y ness and reliability. We must be reasonable and kindly disposed toward our fellows. We must be willing to follow the leadership and obey the commands of those who 3 .7 are in authority. In every school relationship, there must be some one who is Q. responsible and who can direct. 9 ' The habits of cooperation and good sportsmanship which we have learned in ' L . . . . . . .4 Eqg the school room, in the social activities of the school, and on the held of play will 73 f 4 do more than anything else to make us successful in business and to develop the Q' qualities of a good citizen. K , Q Let us remember then, after all, the chief business of the school is education. N The lessons which we received in reading, writing, and numbers, we have used con- ' 3 stantly in our later school work. In the course of the years we have learned many facts, but the really important thing is that we have learned how to use our minds, how to study, how to think, how to live. This is the principal service which the ' 0 school is rendering us today. 9 h Are we measuring up to the great responsibility which our wonderful inheri- Eff tance has placed upon us? 3-E F I v 5 ' 1- ' 4 rf PE D' sz 4 D 1 6189 ll 'lll..

Anthony as its lirst head. A at-4 The English department is not only the largest in the school, but it has the Q: p? most extensive and varied curriculum. It aims to teach every pupil a practical use t f Q of the English language, composition, and literature. During the first two years . 3 special emphasis is placed upon grammar, but during the last two years stress is a v placed upon literature. There are two distinct courses, one for commercial students, 'Y and the other for general college preparatory students. S 2 Une ofthe greatest achievements of the department is the result of the required 4 Q reading. Hundreds of students who otherwise have had no taste for books, have, ',x through compulsory association, become habitual readers. 1 ln many cases the child's mind, as well as interest, has to be created, and, in order to do this well, several modern methods of instruction have been adopted. S U Some teachers are using a modified Dalton plan, others find the socializing ofthe cl. recitation very successful. In the advanced classes, a plan similar to that used in 9 ' colleges is carried out more effectively. ' Classes in Debate, Journalism, and Vocal expression, are under the jurisdiction 73 7 of this department. N i ln the elfort to create further interest in English, a certain week is designated ' Q each year as Good English Week . During this week, grammar tests are held, ' three minute speeches are given, and a poster pertaining to English, is required 4 of each student. A special assembly is held, at which the prizes for the best posters 3: T A are awarded, the best speeches are given, and, usually, a skit or one-act play is D M presented. I Q Unusual enthusiasm has been displayed this year by the students towards Good I English Week . The following pupils had correct papers in the grammar test: U 134 EVELYN CARNEL1, NANCY MACKNIGHT :-E P BEATRICE DONOVAN MARIA CLAYTON ' f JEAN GRISWOLD WILLIAM BRADFORD i DOROTHY STRADLEY -TOSEPHINE SEVIER I RUTH SHELDON WILLIAM MENGLE a 36 CATHRINE BROAD CHARLOTTE CLEMENT -2 ' KATIE RUBIN Louis KOVNER Ph , ELLA HANSON HERMAN HERSI-IOUT ix Q HARRIET BULLOCK MARJORIE BACKUS D ' ., BETTY BALDWIN MINNIE DILLON 6' 5 4 Continued on page 21.2 are r a w s1lf as ' Wea l.

The Mathematics Department of the Wilmington 4 ' Q High School was established in 1916. There have been two heads of the depart- 9 A ment since that time: the first, Miss Elizabeth D. Hoopes, who became head in ' irq 1920, and, second, Mr. Harold W. Musser who became head in 1923. 3' , There are eight courses taught at the present time, comprising Algebra, Plane ' Q Geometry, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry. The four courses in Algebra aim 5 to develop clear, accurate, and systematic expression, to increase efficiency in I H computation, to -teach the application of formula, equations, and graphs, and, to - teach one to be governed by principles, rather than by rules. Plane Geometry T I teaches the development of logical forms of thought, and shows the great impor- Q'- Q tance of truth. The course in Solid Geometry teaches the pupil to visualize the P ' relations of space in which he lives. It also teaches the computation of measure- ' at ments of surfaces and solid ligures. The one semester course in Trigonometry aims is f to apply the truths already learned in Algebra and Geometry. It makes the pupil pi familiar with logarithms and extensive computation, and develops skill in solving ' 4 many practical problems. ' It has been said that, We are not quite sure of any one thing in science, or ' economics, or art, but, before the world was fashioned, the square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle was equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, and it will be so after this world is deadf' We may therefore deduce the conclusion that l 4 our Mathematics Department is an absolutely indispensable part of the High ' School of modern times. fig The personnel ofthe Mathematics Department is as follows: PIE T i Mr. Harold W. Musser, Head, Solid Geometry, Miss Florence Ramo, Plane ' P Geometry, Miss Nora Steuart, Plane Geometry, Miss Elizabeth Patton, Algebra, Miss Lela A. Lynam, Algebra and Trigonometry, Mr. Robert N. Foulk, 5 l Algebra, Miss Elsa Zeisberg, Plane Geometry and Algebra, Mr. Samuel P. Mar- Q :jg oney, Plane Geometry, Mrs. E. C. Kavanaugh, Algebra, Miss Marion B. Howey, 7g ' Algebra, Mr. G. R.

W. Hamilton and Mr. QE 4 E. W. Keenan, with an enrollment of approximately two hundred pupils. Y . 2 Since that fall of long ago, the department has progressed to such an extent that it , Q' has become one of the essential, and one ofthe most outstanding departments in A the school. This de artment now consists of the head ofthe de artment, Mr. R. L. ' Q - p p n V Talbot, and eleven other instructors, and it has an enrollment of approximately S . seven hundred and fifty pupils. 1 O ln 1912, only three commercial lessons were taught: Penmanship, Spelling: 'tx and Commercial Arithmetic. In 1915, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting I 5. were introduced. Now, in 1926, the Commercial Department offers Business i English, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Office Practice, Junior Business '- U Training, Penmanship, Spelling, Commercial Geography, Commercial Arithmetic, SK- 0 Commercial Law, and Economics. In February, 1927, Merchandise Information, P' ' Salesmanship, and Advanced Oliice Practice were introduced. ' 55,4 Since 1915 two courses have been open for students to elect: Stenographic f , and Clerical. Students taking either of these two courses in the past year have re- . M ' ceived applied oiiice practice in the oflices ofthe school. This year the Department K 1 4 has something quite new-a switchboard for the high school telephones- a ' switchboard, which is operated by pupils ofthe Commercial Department. ' For the Februa , 1927, raduatin class, Mr. R. L. Talbot has worked out a be , VY g g I ' 5 system whereby the students will work in outside oH'ices after one o'clock. This will I ' enable the students to receive actual ex erience in office routine and methods while Q P . . thev are et in school. This actual ex erience will make the theorv learned in school , . y P . , much more easily understood. D . . . . -: 1534 The class graduating in June, 1927, began the C0-Operative half-time plan. 3-2 1 This means that students in the last half of the fourth year go to school two weeks ' ' and work two weeks. Later, all the fourth year students will use this plan. , The school term beginning in February, 1927, will inaugurate three courses for 5 ' Commercial pupils, instead of two. These courses will be: Stenographic, Business 5? Administration, and Retail Selling. 35 , . Any student now graduating from the Commercial Department is fully -.., I . . . . . X ' Q equipped to enter the business world, without taking an extra course at any business O ' ,N school or college. 3 -7 - 4 .9141 . - i 2sii' LEJa ' ais' 1' a , T I -. , , . f1 yr y 1 ' -ee V If VII 11 .

Of all the school subjects which contribute to a realization of A E4 '93 this aim, the social sciences contribute most directly. ag ,,? l The course of study has certain definite aims toward which teachers and pupils 1 v Q strive. These aims are as follows: . 3 1. To present and interpret those events of the past which are . ' necessary for a clear understanding ofthe problems of modern life. t 'W 2. To encourage logical thinking on the part ofthe pupil in social and S v political affairs. 4 Q 3. To give the student a well balanced picture ofthe development of 5 modern civilization in social life, education, religion, art, literature and I H science. H - 4. To leave with the pupil a feeling of unity which exists throughout '- l the held of history. F The course of study makes provision for these aims. ln the Freshman year P' ' there are two courses open. For the Commercial, lndustrial, and Home Economics ' pupils, there is a one year course in Community Civics. The main purpose of this P3 7 course is to give the student a knowledge of man's relation to man. A study of the N f government of Wilmington and of the State of Delaware characterizes the course, ' Q so that the pupil has an opportunity to understand local, as well as state and ' national, government. T ' ln the Sophomore year, and to the Academic Freshman is offered a year's ' course in Ancient and Medieval history. The pupil makes a survey of man's pro- s f gress from the dawn of civilization to the Renaissance. Emphasis is placed on the I Q contributions of the Ancient nations, as well as on the origin of the institutions of l the Middle Ages. ' at Another course offered to the second year Commercials and to those pupils 'P who are not going to College, or who wish to offer but one year of history, exclusive ' 5 of American, is World History. Here much of the political and military materials I is omitted and emphasis is placed on the social and economic phases of life, so that p the pupil, in his one year, may obtain a background adequate to explain the life of 1 B today. ' 4 1 o ern is ory s ere e y , , p p , ve M d h' t i off d in th third ear and for Commercial u ils 75 Q, American history. In Modern history the pupil begins to study those forces that .1 Q lead to the discovery of a new world, and soon he sees the European background of 0 ' . our American Revolution. 4 s, - Continued on page 226 as ' ia FF? .'. fi9A'QPf lf Q' E'f'Qi BWE CWC b'l'QAB'li'?Ab ll . 5'q 1 , V Q' K , 1 N gp? 3-fi Z n F '53 9 l 1 IVY l , , l 5.4 Department of Modern Language PE? , 1 v The Modern Language Department S T HE courses in the Modern Languages are French, Spanish, and German. 5.4 Il The French course presents some of the most varied novelties, which every 5 pupil is privileged to enjoy. Each one has the opportunity of carrying on an 1 active correspondence with a French student in his native country. In this way cur i students are brought into closer contact with their subject, and a genuine desire to 4 S know France, its people, and its language, is founded. This association proves a ' , charming medium in which to paint a picture of that fascinating country of the old 1 Q world. i Part of the regime is the learning of French Songs, including the National ' ' Anthem, the Marseillaise. For the study of this phase of French work, a victrola is used. The classes sing in unison with the Victor artist, and so acquire the true S- . French accent and intonation. This proves a helpful and effective way of acquiring t this knowledge. In addition, each class is required to learn selections from the , French masters of verse. . ?'-Q One learns from this course a great many things about France and its capital, '? Paris, upon which the ages have laid a multitude of profound and absorbing in- N j terests. One marvels at its present position and contribution to humanity when he 0 Q recalls that for centuries it was an insignificant island in the Seine, now almost lost v in the modern city. 1 Included in the teaching staff of this department are Mrs. Wentz, Miss Hor- bb 'i i batuick, Miss Brinton, Miss Weaver, Mr. Howeth, and Mr. Gardner. 5 v A function of paramount interest in the Spanish classes is the dramatization of I Q various stories selected from the text-books. This department also requires the 0 students to memorize selections from Spanish poetry, and sometimes they learn I 3. their musical selections with the aid of a victrola. It is an aim of the Spanish de- .1 v' partment to teach the worth-whileness of Spanish, to arouse 1n the pupils an in- ' 5 terest in the language which is spoken in eighteen American Republics-the lan- i guage which is spoken in more separate nations than any other language in the p world, to arouse state interestn, based on the fact that the greatest number of 5 , - our consular and diplomatic positions are in Spanish speaking nations. Various ' 4 Q ' means, such as dialogues, story telling, memorizing of poetry, and the reading of , Spanish texts dealing with customs and peoples of the various Spanish speaking in Q countries, have been taken to stimulate interest. A large number of pupils have 0 ' . corresponded with Spanish speaking pupils in the West Indies. The advanced g u, - Confirmed on page 222 L 4 c , H -H7815 o 1 XlRl Xifg sw 6 b'V V1Q ' . WQQ .

During the last few l years, many changes have taken place in the course of study and general management of the department. These have been largely in the direction of liberalizing the content of the course, adding to the studentls cultural background, and increasing his knowledge of Roman life and thought. Too often the study of Latin is thought of merely in terms of translation and construction. The medium seems to be mere words and phrases. In this age, when the unthinking pupil seeks the path of least resistance and shuns the technical accuracies of Latin writing, the subject is avoided or dropped before he gains any knowledge of the fields of information, literary and aesthetic appreciation, and spiritual insight just beyond his mental horizon. The aims of the Latin course include the ability to read Latin with intelligence, but do not end there. Nor is its chief objective a knowledge of grammar more def- inite than that gained from other sources. Even the fact that Latin is a study which furnishes a foundation for work in other languages, law, medicine, and other professions, would not be its most important claim upon the pupil's consideration. From the first term until the last the student is brought into contact with Roman history, mythology, religion, customs, and laws. Through the pages of Caesar and Cicero, he learns to know from daily acquaintance some of the out- standing figures ofthe world's history and some of the Roman ideals and character- istics which have become a part of every civilized nation. Through the pages of Virgil and Ovid, he establishes for himself a standard of excellence by which he unconsciouslyjudges all poetry. The time-honored tales of Italy, Greece, and Troy, without a knowledge of which much of our own literature would be unintelligible, are made a part of his mental store. The contributions made by the study of Latin to the cultural development of the student will be realized and appreciated by him increasingly as the years go by. The teachers of the Latin Department are: Miss Cora A. Pickett, Head of the Department, Miss Mildred Gooding, Miss Nell Blair, Miss Sara Johnston, Mrs. Elizabeth Durham, Miss Allisse Why, Miss Leda White. Miss Laura Easley was formerly of this department, but is now in the fac- ulty of William Penn High School of Philadelphia. GY C. g -1 4 D. O S 1 'K 5.: 1 l ' fu' 72 I -5 ,E I U l bv!

This department endeavors to give the fundamental principles un- i ' Q derlying the use of electricity, of machines, of automobiles, and of wood work. 'B ln the electric shop, a knowledge ofthe structure, and of the methods of re- ' ' pairingebell circuits, house wiring, motors, and generators is obtained. It is ex- 3' pected that radio will also become a part ofthe workin the near future. Boys work- 1 Q ing in the wood shop are learning the neatness and hnish ofthe cabinet maker, and 'A the accuracy and delicacy of the wood turner. It is advisable for the boy to take , instructions in this work, if in no other of the shops. . Another ofthe shops is the machine shop, in which the boy makes useful little 3 ' household articles, such as a hammer, a paper weight, a paper file, or, perhaps, QR, Q a small lathe. This shop is well equipped with standard, up-to-date tools and ma- . chines. U 5 The printing shop is the smallest ofthe shops. Nevertheless, with its ex- 3.5 34 cellent equipment it has turned out some very creditable work. This shop has, D 5 this past year, printed the school's weekly newspaper. 0 Q The classes in mechanical drawing form the largest division of this depart- , ment. The course covers two years. Many of the students, however, continue 4 with advanced drawing and construction during the third and fourth years. During '94 the freshman year instruction is first given in the elements of machine drawing, Q F the purpose and correct use of implements. This is followed with simple work- I 0 ing drawings in detail, tracing, and blueprinting. The last few weeks are given , over to isometric drawing. c 5- The second year advances the student into actual machine construction and - Z ge design. The present B2 group is engaged in making complete detail and assembly 3.2 I drawings, in pencil and blueprint, of a Compound Micrometer Gauge. g The last half of the second year is devoted to Perspective Drawing. , The remaining shop is the automobile repair shop. At present this shop is A handicapped from lack of cars for practical experience in making repairs and ad- - 4 504' justments. A plan is soon to be put into operation, in which cars needing repairs or overhauling will be brought to this shop and adjusted at cost by the students.

Each room has equipment suited to the needs of twenty to thirty 5' 2.4 girls in a class. The work of the department includes courses in foods, Q ' clothing, household management, dietetics, and home nursing. ' ,ry In the foods classes, the pupils are taught the composition of foods, their ' ' Q relative nutritive values, the work they do in the bodyg the buying, preparation, 'B and serving of foods. Girls are given opportunity for practical work in the prepara- ' v tion and serving of foods for class luncheons, in entertaining various people at I Y dinner, and in afternoon teas for the parents and the faculty. In the Invalid Cook- 1 Q ing class they learn the various diets, and how to prepare them, suited for patients 6 with different diseases. . ' The clothing classes are open to all the girls of the school. The instruction is ' individual, and, after a girl acquires some skill as shown in making underclothing, S- . she may bring from home material for any article of clothing needed for the family. t Much renovating is done, often with excellent results. During the semester, - September 1926 to january 1927, the following garments were made: 435 pieces , 5 of underclothingg 256 dresses, 12 kimonasg 10 blouses, 14 aprons, 16 skirts, 19 ' - :fe handkerchiefsg 25 alterations, 1 hat, 37 other articles-curtains,napkins, ties, caps. 75 j The students in Household Management study the ideal division of the family g 4 income, the family budget, the problems of food, shelter, clothing, and higher life, . the keeping of accounts, making of checks. Instruction is given in caring for the . - home, general methods of cleaning, the upkeep of the home, the best selection of 4 stoves, refrigerators, kitchen utensils, linens and other articles. Marketing is ,E ,. taught both by actual practice and through the text book. I Q The purpose of the Dietetics course is to teach, in a manner adapted to high , schools, the application of the principles of nutrition to the feeding of the family, . ,- , with especial emphasis on the relative values of different foods, economy in buying, . ,Y Eff and the importance of good food habits. The subject matter has direct application 33 F to the work given in the Hygiene and General Science courses in many high schools. t The Home Nursing course is given under the auspices of the Red Cross and , by a trained nurse. The time given is ninety minutes per week for one semester. y The course is of practical value as it teaches the girls how to take a doctor's direc- , if tions and to give assistance in the home in time of illness.

Physical Education department of our High bchool is one of the best in yi 5 , the country. We have one of the best gymnasiums in our vicinity. The ade- 4 quate apparatus with which the gymnasium is equipped, along with the 9 ' efforts of the instructors, enables a student to obtain an ample physical education. ,W S When a student enters High School, he is required to take two years of physi- A Ti cal training. These classes take two periods each week. The first term of gymna- 1 Q sium is made up mostly of calisthenics. At intervals throughout the term, the 9 I classes participate in group games. These games are a diverson from the ordinary . T routine and are beneficial, both physically and mentally, to the student. The work ofthe second term is more advanced. These classes have wand drills and work S- Q. with the indian clubs. The third and fourth terms of gymnasium are given over to .Q 4 apparatus work. The third term, the pupil is instructed in exercises on the horse 9- , and buck, whereas in the fourth and last term, the time is spent on the parallel , 5 bars. ? The proof of the value of the Physical Education Department is the fact that D i our athletic teams, as well as the standard of our scholarshi , rank with the first ' P :Q in the country. ln High School, athletics, clean sportmanship, and athletic ability 0 are the outstanding factors. These things, however, are the result of the physical 4 - E education a student obtains. No one acquainted with, high school athletics will ' doubt for an instant the physical and moral value of this department of our school. 5 'i Mr. Brown and Mr. Allen are the instructors in the boys gym. T 0 . . I ' Girls Gymnasium Work . r HIS year has seen the beginning of something new and very interesting in F the girls gym classes. Miss Hay, with the competent help of Miss Mc- ' Closkey, the new instructor, has developed much interest and competition Q ' among the Freshmen and Sophomores taking gymnasium. 'E FIIS Each class .was divided into a red and a white team, which strove to earn the 1? greatest number of points. The points were secured by individuals, and by the ,M D' team as a wholeg by appartaus work, fancy tactics, marching, dancing technique, 'D hockey, and basketball. 1 K Confirmed on page 215 teas i ia. w Lii!.lQ.:lf A!9 X' agaw ea D -14-4 En E--s 1 E 5-4 F?

It has just been one , X year since I entered the school, one year of being green. Now I'm a wise and worthy A Z1-4 Sophomore! W All the grammar schools were rivals. We just couldn't forget, at first, that 4 ' No. 28 school had beaten us in basketball or that we had defeated No. 4 in swim- I ming. Grammar school events cropped up in our conversations, in the halls, in the , F classrooms, and in the fields. Well, finally we became united, especially in our com- 'Q4 petition against our rivals, the Sophomores. Nothing of great importance happened this lirst year but yet we have learned a great deal-the numbers of the rooms, , I ' which is the main building, and which, the annex, the difference between a Sopho- 9 f more and a Senior, who the easy teachers are, who the difficult ones, who is smart gn' ' in the class-room, and, most important, who are the leaders. We haven't, Dear q A 2,4 Diary, made any great impression upon the school, except to be called Freshie F- f ? by some humorous Soph. The year ends pleasantly and I have few regrets as I I . cast off my green garments. , Q We are all glad of our friendships-friendships that will endure through the , A years. , 'Q February IQ25 Q 2 Dear Diary: O Another year has passed, and, as I promised, I will endeavor to write of its 'Q joys and sorrows. You, Little Diary, will have record of them when we have long -F since been forgotten. It 'was in this Sophomore year that most of us were struck be with the autograph album craze . Even now, though only a year has passed, N Q 5 these albums are precious to us. F It has long been the custom and privilege of a Sophomore to sit in the grand , ' and glorious main building. A few, about twelve of us, suffered a great ignominy. I-f 35,4 We were seated in a room with Freshmen! Imagine! and we were Sophomoresl ' I I can recall that we were ashamed to admit in whose room we sat. Why, every one F knew it was a Freshmen room! Now, I realize that few upperclassmen could dis- ' 4 tinguish between the green freshies and us wise sophs. Our class was large, , ' indeed, the group never really became acquainted. I myself know only a few of a '- B certain clique. In this our second year, these cliques became known, some for mis- V A chief or trouble, others, for leadership for the good of the school, still others, for 5 vi their struggle to obtain scholastic or athletic records. F, 'Q This second year was the year we became acquainted with boys. As Freshmen, D f, ' we were afraid, as Sophomores, we giggled incessantly at them. Perhaps, in our fu ease Junior year we will learn to become pals. ' q' Y, 7 According to tradition, on Memorial Day, the Sophomores prepare exercises ' i for the Seniors. Do we remember ours? We have never been so important. The I 'N Seniors stood-actually stood, when we entered the auditorium. We wore daisies, o i I the emblem of the Sophomores, and marched down the isle as haughtily as any ? Y 3-S Senior. We scarcely remember the pageant, we remember nothing but the haughty 7 ' Seniors standing, while we marched down the isle and took their places. ' Q, We have learned what school spirit means. We attended games, yelled our- Q selves hoarse, then Went home with the idea that we had done the school a great 9 ' service. ' if s Conlinued on page 238 aw - lll5.

My what a large class we were then, a good three hundred! And what a 'gg large place! ' if , The first days of bewilderment, mortilication, and chagrin will never be for- QQ gotten. Our pride was destined for many a fall in this new experience of our lives. 9 , To our timid inquiries for certain rooms there was the invariable line about an , - A elevator in the basement. But we bore our troubles gamely, especially with the A Eesti help of High School's noble TraHic Squad. tug: 5 Lessons and home room programs kept us busy. Some rooms even ventured to t present their programs in the auditorium. We had our very own Christmas play 9 ' called The Gifted Givers. Herman Gabriel, our president, was in the charge of 'Q v the assembly. That day many of us sulfered from a well known disease called , W swelling of the head. - ' A heavy snow storm, accompanied by sleet and rain, gave us an unexpected 1 Q holiday, to which no one was averse. 9 T We were none the worse for our experiences, but at the end of the year, when ' 2 exams were over, vacation was hailed with delight, and, when another Septem- 3 i . ber rolled around, all were ready to begin the second year with whole-hearted vim. Q, Q SOPHOMORE YEAR P' E i The Sophomore year brought with it the thrilled feeling of infinite wisdom .f over those who had taken our places. We were beginning to be somebody , and . a wee bit of conceit is excusable as a natural reaction from Freshman days. The Q' girls showed their grit especially in athletics. The Seniors had a hard time in keep- . Q ing the Sophomore Hockey Team out of the finals, also in winning the basketball 6 ui championship from the same opponent. ' Sf The latter part of our Sophomore year hailed the birth of a strenuous campaign ,Q Y for Good English, better known as Good English Week. We say strenuous be- IQ 4 cause the memory of our struggle with English posters still lingers. 9 u, It seemed, too, that this year marked the beginning ofa rapid growth of clubs ' H- and activities. The Hi-Y Club started on its career, sure to meet with success ' if because of its lofty ideals. Pi , We proved our newly acquired wisdom in the election of our class officers. ,Q 4 They were capable leaders and full of fun and pep. Not to be outdone in social V E, aifairs, it is always the custom for the Sophs to have charge of the Memorial Day ,W -' exercises. gf Continued an page 247 'K D is 4 in 5 efss1waa'ra.Q' w Lggsr as 'Ma 7? - F jc, 6 if si 9, S9 S S4 6 SY P O i 'iv - 5 ff S by he T 7' Qi Q25 P?

Q7f,a1-VE ffffslg fab in mt Fw l 'T Q a A ' D junior Class Hzstory , Q l in Y ND theylived happily ever after! With a sigh of relief, we closed, not with- p 1 out a triumphant bang, that old and worn copy of fairy tales entitled, ' P-4 Primary and Grammar School Grades and then turned with erected is W heads and raised eyebrows to that long coveted and desired volume of High School. T 1 We caught our breath as we lifted the great cover and found ourselves within ' the bounds of that mysterious and overpowering book. But only for a moment did 9 ug we lose our composure, for astonishment was not included in that grand entrance ' 'S we had so carefully planned, at least, not on our part! Any such ordinary emotion Q- 54 was to be registered by the upper classmen in their delight on our arrival. In fact, z n We had already noticed the impression we were making by the amused smiles be- ' nevolently bestowed upon us. Their real significance was entirely lost on our un- t troubled minds, however. There was no time to consider this, for we were here to 6' 5 prove to our ancestors that it took only four years to study this enormous volume- Q 5-'4 and time was passing. We were approaching that index sheet with its terrible in- 4 Q scriptions of courses and that terrifying page entitled First Day-Passing of Clas- 1 i Q ses. On these, our minds registered complete blanks and remained thus until we iq finally were awakened at the end of that first struggle-a week. We have memories 4 , of a new and absolutely meaningless program-classes, teachers, halls, crowds. ' W Our first experience in the cafeteria was a feeling of being pushed from one night- ' i mare to another. When hunting for our classrooms, sometimes we found what we , Q were seeking, but mostly we discovered that some upperclassman certainly did not 'X know very much about his school in directing us in such an absurd way. But all . -5 horrors must cease, and so, uneventfully, we perused one page after another until :. ' . we slowly came to the end of that first Chapter, Our Freshman Year. Q., For we are Sophomores Cmaybel , Sophomores are we! , 5 Now we can smile on the Freshman we see! Eff This seems to be about the main characteristic of our second chapter. There i was woven through the lines that elated feeling of dignified superiority over the Q 4 lowly Freshman, who, we remarked seem to get younger and fresher every year. . And then we felt that strain of anticipation, looking forward to the next chapter of . N which we have had a glimpse through the faces of those who had completed it. We I- were filled with a buming desire to pass over the boundary to that better-half of Q our career and to become one of those phantoms we saw Hitting before our gaze K i enroute to the Junior Party. At last, meditating over the pages we had turned and., iq looking hopefully into our future, we gradually closed the first half of our volume ' and turned over our leaves to that next untouched chapter filled with our play and ggi great yellow chrysanthemums-junior Day. Q Junior Day is the longest one of our lives, for it includes ten months of the ' year. From the time we begin to call ourselves Juniors until we start down the i home-stretch of our last year we pass through one constant Junior Day , , Continued on page 252 d as :Qt Q 0 ' i F- 2, 4 QA9WQ'A'F3ll.. .

Well, jack, I guess you'll certainly be Fi , glad to get back to the old school after being away for almost a year. ,Q Ever since l've been promoted from the freshman class, I've been unable to get 9 Q a cap big enough to Ht me. It's the same with the rest of the class. The Seniors say ' S it's a case of exaggerated ego Cwhatever that meansj, the juniors say it's conceit, 4 Pg the Freshmen say lt,S just plain swellheadedness, but 1t's-Oh, well my old cap E P? doesn't fit me anyhow. 4 ' O This term, the marking system has been changed. We no longer have final 9 'Q examinations. A-90 to 100, B-85 to 89, C-75 to 84, D-70 to 74 and F is all be- aw , low 70. This system has greatly decreased the honor rolls, but, as usual, we Sophs ' Y furnished most ofthe names for them. Q Q Our class isn't left out of athletics either. Most ofthe Jay Vees are Sophs , F and a few varsity members of almost every sport are of our class too. And our girls . fyou can't keep the women outl are particularly good in the interclass hockey and basketball games. 5'- I I've just learned why Wilmington High School always turns out such good QQ 4 track and football teams. You know, it takes a good runner and line plunger to p' ' get from the third Hoot old building to cafeteria in nothing Hat, after stopping to 0 5 pick up three or four persons accidently knocked down, and after being halted in 7: 7 your mad rush by the cruel, cruel T. S's. The saddest part of it is that the T. S's ' pi used to be our own-kindhearted classmates. I Q Well, Jack, I certainly am glad you're coming back to Wilmington High School ' and that we'll be able to graduate together. 1 Your pal, Iz. T P. S.

Im goin to begin at the start and who nows what I vxon t tell' you now me Pal. Well at the startin we wuz all pinned into a big room like a theatre in the day time' they called it the Auditrum. I brot my peanuts along but could not use them as there wasn t no peanut heaven. You shoulda saw that gang Pal all kinds of shaped indiwiduals' long thin skinny one little short fat one and all freshies like meself, all marched to the stage and gived there pedigree to a teacher then we wuz sent to different rooms, my bein 206. An awful kole room all walls and ceilin. Well, so much for the beginnin. Next a lotta bells rung and we all piled outta the door. All pushed and one guy with a red band on his arm grabbed me and of all the direckshuns. I got sore and yelled, please give a feller one direckshun ata time. All mouth! Thats me all over, Pal. The gym taked my eye and let me tell yew about our dancin class. All the teacher nos is a two-step, but I sprung the black-bottom and made the woman feel cheep. I guess I showed them that my educashun had not been neglected.

KN' I went out for the Feetball Team but at lirst I seed a ball but no feet, was ? pluggin with that ball away and all at one time I felt feet all over me. Now I an-Q no why it is called feetball. I did not make the team but am leader of the cheerin . seckshun. Most anybody can play ball but to be able to yell-Holly Cancuk- M 9' Skimerink, Boomerink, Ricky Dicky is what I call brains. 2 1 One Friday Nite the Freshies had a party. We had a play first and ofcourse 1 B I taked part. At first I played little Eva goin across the ice. You no that play Z Uncle Tom's Cabin then I played School Days in variashuns on the peana. ' The eats were enjoyed by me alone, they all agreed that I had a hearty appetite. K Q Next came the dancin. I danced with em all and all was out of step but I.

LYNAM 9 t V HE Wilmington Chapter of the National Honor Society is composed of i A 2,4 fifteen per cent of the last half of the fourth year class and ten per cent of the Q: 1 H first half of the fourth year class. The applicants, however, are considered I . 2 for the four main principles of the Society: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, P , O and Service. ,Q A The Society holds three assemblies a year. Two are for the public initiation of ' ' new members, and the third is for purely educational purposes. The first initiation ' v was held on October 28, 1926. The president of the Society administered the oath 5 Q to the new members. The vice-president explained the four cardinal principles of ', 5 the Society and the method of entrance. An address was delivered by the Reverend 0 xr . bn Mr. Charles H. Bohner. 4 The crowning point of the entire year is the trip to Washington, D. C. The Q ' money for this trip is raised by the members of the Society. The Society is well 1 l ' 4 chaperoned, and, through the influence of its chaperones, is taken to see things ? ' which ordinary tourists cannot view, for instance, several private rooms in the 4 5 White House. The tri is taken in Ma from Thursda aftemoon until Sunda P2 :GQ P Y Y Y N I K night. On the trip taken in May 1926, the members were introduced to many in Q' prominent Representatives and Senators. 4 4 The last meeting of the First Semester was held on Thursday, January 13, Q ' 1927. It was an important meeting, for all business for the term was closed. A very line program was rendered. Musical selections, a short sketch, and a very in- teresting address by the Reverend Mr. J. W. Easley, constituted the program. l 0 Q I 2- ' 'I ff 'ff y U . 3 - ' 4 5:6 33 Q . 0 . 453, 5, - 4 efasir 1r4.Q a'r' Lustr e? 1' w e il' 5 v 3 'X -ur Q, ' Q U , , .5 if gL,.,X,jQ 96 9 ' CH Q YCK . - 'Q' - v xi I I . l ' Q U Q 465 E-4 Q, NXQ Us Y O ,QQ .

During the year the members of the Old Ladies Home were enter- tained at a tea which was enjoyed by guests and hostesses alike. The interest groups, which were held on alternate club days, gave the girls a chance to do dif- ferent kinds of Handcraft. Among the outstanding features of the social events, was the Hallowe'en Dance. If we judge from the comments heard around school, we conclude it was a huge success. Another big event was the Kiddie Birthday Dinner. Dolls and kiddie clothes gave a festive atmosphere. Many other big affairs such as the Interclub banquet, which was the most successful one ever held, the Spring Dance and the Farewell to the Grad's, contributed towards arousing good fellowship among the girls.

When It was ' ly formed under the leadership of Miss Annabelle Groves, it had a twofold pur- I pose :-to provide an opportunity for pupils who were interested to gain experience ' 3 in ensemble singing, and to contribute to the cultural life of the school. These are 1' A still the purposes of the club, and it is evident from its history, brief as it is, that 1 Q these principles have been ever foremost and evident in all its work. The Club has 'Ar not been organized for the accommodations of those pupils who sing, or think they , 5, can sing, but for those pupils who want to sing. Q At present there are three divisions in the club:-the Girls' Advanced Club, 'A ' whose membership is restricted to Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomoresg-the Choral S Club, whose members are girls in their first year at High Schoolg-and the Boys' w' ' Advanced Club. Each of these bodies holds two meetings a week, while the Ad- ' ?,.g vanced Clubs engage in one combined rehearsal weekly. pig I . In May, 1924, the organization made its first public appearance with the pre- N l sentation of the operetta, The Maid and the Middy. This was the beginning of K Q Q many public successes. During the semester various programs were olfered. In ' December, a program of Christmas Carols was given, during Music Week a ' 1 program of selected numbers. An innovation of last June was the rendering of several numbers at the Baccalaureate Service, which is held on the Sunday before T 'Q graduation. Of course, the operetta or musical comedy, which has been instituted I 4 as an annual event of the club, is by far its most popular offering of the year. Last ' year with the presentation of the Belle of Barcelona the Club gained a distinct ' 'QQ success. This year they eclipsed all former records and, liguratively, went over the T top, when they presented that well-known Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The T A Mikado . ' These various offerings during the term might be called the work of the club. , It really isn't work but pleasure to practice for any program under the direction of ' f the club's present leader and adviser, Mrs. Mary Scott Gallery, whose efforts are h most assuredly accountable for the present high standard of the club.

Many of the programs have been arranged :E with the idea of teaching Roman custcms by actual experience in conducting a ' Raman State. The tfiicers were elected in the Roman elective assembly, the Com- Q 'Q itia Centuriata, after such formalities as the taking of the auspices had been ob- O E served. Q,-Q At the next meeting after the election, the officers, dressed in purple bordered i ' togas, were sworn in by the Pc-ntifix Maximus. Q fi? Ar one meeting Cicero, in the person of Seiberth Ketv gave, with appropriate ' , Q fiery earnestness, his famous invective against Catiline, more familiar to us as O 'B Samuel Arsht. The senate all in official togas shunned the arch conspirator or ' 5' ' hissed his words in realistic fashion. S qi Mrs. Gallery gave a very interesting talk on Roman music illustrated by 1 Q phonographic records. Ar other meetings reports were given by students on var- , ious phases of Roman life or history, such as their characteristic amusements. . ' their daily routine, their bathing establishments, and their homes. The destruction of Pompeii and its present remains were described in one Z U student's talk. Other programs were of a less serious nature such as the February i meeting with its valentines, ancient and modern, the dramatization of Atlanta's 9' ' Race, and King Midas and His Golden Touch. ' 3-Q The greatest occasion of the year, however, was the Saturnalia, the great 9.1: 7 December festival of the Romans. The club was first entertained in the auditorium N f with a drama entitled The Slave Girlf' Incident to this play was a realistic U Roman wedding, which, from the offering of the sacrifice to the noisy jubilant pro- ' cession, followed closely the customs of Cicero's day. The chief parts in this play 1 at were taken by Anna Kurtz, Henry Dickerson, Samuel Arsht, Kathryn Poinsett, is T Seiberth Kiety, Catherine Lewis, and Felix Laub. N f After the play, we retired to the gymnasium where various games and stunts I were enjoyed. The most unique of these was a chariot race on kiddie cars, in which ' Selby Santmyers was the star performer. At a given signal gifts appropriate to the c w- Saturnalia were lowered within reach of the members. who lost no time in taking - , . Pla f possession of them.

Since then it has held regular meetings with varied activities. The club Q has purchased and presented to the Wilmington High School Library several Y books, some of them beautifully illustrated, dealing with Spanish speaking countries. ' :-, The aim of the club is to spread, by means of its programs, information and in- a ' . struction as to the Customs, the history, the art, the spirit, the commercial life, as the educational systems, geography, and literature ofthe Spanish speaking coun- , tries. Little is known in our country about the heroes, martyrs, and other great , 5 men of these new nations. : ' E Many people do not realize that these countries are as modern as ours.

The first News staffof twelve members under the supervision of Miss Den- nison also constituted the first class in journalism. In two terms this class has more than doubled. - The first News was published somewhat in the following manner: Copy was prepared for four pages typewritten which were mimeographed on standard circular paper. Separate stencils of course had to be cut for each page. After going to press the paper had to be sorted folded and pinned together. One copy was distributed to each home room where it was read. VVentworth Deverell was also editor-in-chief for the following semester when the News first appeared in standard newspaper form.

The orchestra was organized in 1903 and in the Annual School Report of 1907 4 ' Q Professor Berlin, the principal of this school, stated: 5 'vb The orchestra has now become an established fact. It was reorganized in QW ,, 1904 and a competent instructor engaged. We cannot too highly commend the S Y interest and enthusiasm shown by Prof. john D. Taylor in his work in connection 1 Q with the training of the orchestra. He has had many obstacles to overcome in the 2 1 development of the players for the various instruments, but he has succeeded be- 'T yond expectation. The orchestra has played at a number of public occasions, and ' 2 made a very favorable impression. ltis now a ermanent feature of the school life . 3 1 P Q.

Band NLY since 1924 has our high school been able to say that it had a band that was always ready to turn out at the football games and to play the in- M spiring music without which a real football game seems lacking. This year a marked improvement has been noticed in the playing ofthe band and much may be expected from it in the future. As The Backs Went Tearing By , the boys were always on hand to see that the rooters were kept up to high spirits by the snappy airs which were played at intervals and during the halves. At one game, the band even went so far as to march around the field between the periods. Mr. Taylor, who directs the organization, deserves much credit for what he is doing for the school with the band. sr S K2 5' F a Q ' Q ,E I C 1: 313 S Fkwf fl' 1 1 I f 3 n in t Q' 6' w 'ls.

Football at Wzlmmgton Hzgh School 4 wi F HE Varsity football team opened its 1926 season with a 41 to 0 victory over 1 4 2-4 Coatesville High, on the Coatesville gridiron. A large student body from ii T l Wilmington followed the team and gave wonderful support. The outstand- .Q - E' ing features of the game were, the ease with which our team completed long passes, S and the wonderful way in which the line held on the defense and' opened holes on . the offense. L4 The next game was played at home, in which our team won another victory of i 'Y 18 to 6. A reverse, worked to perfection, allowed North East of Philadelphia their 4 ' only score. The team that went on the field to oppose North East had a double 9 6 burden on their shoulders. The two Shellady brothers left school unexpectedly, , I 7 just after the Coatesville game. Bob Shellady, our veteran quarterback, had -Q-4 handled the team so well, that, when he left, it looked as if the team would be left il in the lurch. However, by the working and planning of Coach Donaldson, a green Q' team was drilled and developed into a winning team in only a week's time. Q 4 The football team went down to its first defeat at the hands of the fast Lower ? F Merion Eleven. The score 6 to 0 does not explain the game fully. The Lower Q-4 Merion score came in the first half. In the second half, Wilmington outplayed sg ' Lower Merion in every department of the game, but failed on several occasions to Y.. 5 score, when a score seemed imminent. ' W In the next contest, the game with Glen Nor, our team had its first taste of 9 ' real mud. It rained off and on the whole week before the game, and it was pouring ' 3 when the whistle blew to open the fray. The field was a sea of mud, and this , S' , slowed up the game. Glen Nor completed a few passes and it was due to this that 4 they obtained their chance to score. Wilmington's score came shortly after Glen i Nor's and it also can be credited to an aerial attack. The second half was played . ' in Glen Nor territory, but High School failed to make another score. The game ended in a 6 to 6 tie. 3 ng The week following the Glen Nor game spelled defeat for the fast Forrest Q Q Park Eleven of Baltimore. Wilmington did not falter in its stride and won a 13 v to 0 victory. Forrest Park had one of the fastest backhelds of any of our opponents, I 3-E but they were unable to gain ground, due to the wonderful defensive work of our 7 line. The work of Dick and Walker in this contest was worthy of note. Time after Q pi time, working together, they broke through the Forrest Park forwards and threw 0 the backs for losses. Q On November 6, the event for which all Wilmingtonians had been waiting 1 :ue seven long years happened. VVilmington defeated their old rivals, Chester High, by the decisive score of 18 to 0. The team went to Chester with but one idea, and 4 ,- that was victory. Every player on the team worked as a unit, sacrificing individual 4 Q honors, for team work. The result of this was, that in the first three minutes of bt wp play the High-lets had scored a touchdown. Pandemonium reigned on Smedley g ,g , Field. This spirit lasted throughout the game. The jinx of seven long years was V , 234 broken. , The Dover game was played the following Friday by the Scrubsg the Varsity , .4 players saw only a few minutes of action in the last minutes of play. The Scrubs V w, put up a fine game scoring 24 points to their opponents 7. The game ended with .6 E- the score 24 to 7. McKelvie played well for the Scrubs. Y d Q The second and last loss of the season came to Wilmington High at the hands 55 9, of Salesianum. An intercepted pass in the first few minutes of play, which gave the - Q Sallies their first score, broke the spirit of the Highlets. The Wilmington grid- O w, ders did not regain their Hghting spirit again until near the end of the game.

'Q' E-Q LEVEN victories and six defeats constitute the record set by our basket-ball if P team for the year 1927. From most points of view the season was successful, ' E EL5 and, with a total score of 531 to their opponent's 424, it was more than that. Q Q Coach Brown had difficulties from the start, as most of the material was green. 9 wh However, he formed a combination that showed lots of speed, though it was light. ' he The schedule was one of the hardest ever attempted in late years by a High 3? 'Y School basketball team, and our quintet came off with more than their fair share of 4 v honors. All the strong high schools of this section were scheduled. We also went 'q out of our class to take on college Freshmen teams. p bf Pottstown seemed to be a most difficult opponent. They defeated us by one gi-4 point on our own floor after forty minutes of nip and tuck', battling. Then, when ii our team journeyed to Pottstown, they handed us another defeat. Q' The game with Baltimore Polytechnic was another exciting fray. The teams gr ' were just about evenly matched and fought a desperate game. The Poly lads won fu' ' out in the last few minutes on a single foul goal. A E-4 In their first appearance on a big Hoor, the team made a very favorable show- F? ing against Penn Fresh in the Palestra. They more than held their own in the 1 ' Q first half, but tired out 1n the second half and lost by six points. They gave the 9 .A Freshmen a fight, however, and showed real basketball qualities. 'Q 5 The Sallies , having a strong team, took both games this year. They were .Y 'Y more experienced and heavier and had the edge in winning. Our team gave Sales- F' ' ianum a hard fight in both games and showed up well, even in defeat. 5 ' Q Those were the defeats. Now let us look at the victories. Chester, our old 9 A rival from up the river, was defeated twice this season. Swarthmore was walloped ' .5 on two occasions, and Osteopathy Fresh were also defeated.

X It would be hard to describe the feeling that welled up in the hearts of these A boys, to see three thousand people cheering them on, expecting them to win again il Y this year. Suddenly, a great fear seemed to come to the front, each boy spoke of it 4 ,q and was awed, suppose they lost at Chicago, what would their home coming be 9 , like? 1 P i They weren't going to lose. As a team Fights in football with bodies and brute 4 54 strength, so this team fought, but with cool heads, a terrific drive with the legs, ii' , and hard pulling with the arms. Q At last the different topics wore off, and the game started. Much comment 1 was placed on the derby, worn by Mr. Wagner. In fact, if derbies could blush,it C. 5.4 would still be red. gs P On the arrival at Baltimore, the team broke up for a half hour, some already ' ,CP writing home to F, others strolling through the station. 4 , Q Once aboard the Liberty, a grand rush was made for berths, then, much to the 9 A disgust of the squad, Coach Allen placed the men as he wanted them. A great meal 'Q ll: ' was furnished, then came a rest on the platform of the Observation Car. As dark- s i qi ness descended 3-well, ask Stun Horn if he has ever met a cross-eyed girl on the , Q rear of a Liberty Limited at night. 5 At ten o'clock all adjourned to bed and to the start of colds for many mem- , P i bers of the band. . . March 23rd: All were up bright and early, and, to the delight of members of Q, Q last year's team, met the steward of the diner that carried the 1926 squad west- , ward. ' 5 At Union Central Station, Chicago, the team was met by a Pennsylvania it Representative and taken to the elevated to ride to Evanston. 72 nj On the arrival at the Hotel Evanston the members were paired off and given g rooms. Q After lunch the team Taxied to the Northwestern pool, where they held 1 :ae their First practice. A very much better showing in the tank was given by the ' ' squad than their initial practice of the previous year. 4 This greatly heartened the boys and they returned to the hotel for dinner, I 'Q movies, and bed.

There are six letter men ' ' ' back from last year, and, with the addition of several new players, Wilmington 1 0 High School should have one of the strongest court teams in its short history. 9 V Captain Ted Lecarpentier, Harry Joslyn, John Tuft, George Graef, Albert Ram- ' 5 sey, and Frank Helms are the men upon whom the honor of the School will again E ' rest this year.

Among these are Betty McGovern, Pauline Conway, Peg ' Dulloss Delema ones and Martha Crossan. Under the captaincy of Ruth Tommy Thompson the Seniors kept a clean slate this season. They suffered no defeats and their score was tied only once. The Championship game was played between the beniors and the Sophmores on a very muddy slippery held. The bophs ably led by Kitty Broad took their defeat gamely but not quickly for they possessed a hue fighting spirit and were not easily daunted. However as the timer s whistle blew the score stood 4-0 in favor ofthe purple-jacketed lassies. The crucial contest was over and the Sen- iors had covered themselves with glory and with mud. No one will question the fact that the bophs had also their share of the covering of mud. The yellow- jackets had put up a good fight but the Seniors outplayed them because of their superior skill and experience.

Or the girl who made I it a success, Betty Russell, the general chairman? Do you remember Kety l as a girl? He makes a pleasing, plump, petite wife. Someone in the au- dience remarked, no wonder husbands leave home. Nevertheless, Marston Fox was in love with his beautiful wife. We all thought that Alys Frysinger made such a sweet little doll that we wanted to own her, but it seems that Jimmie, our esteemed editor, has a prior claim. Who doesn't like a minuet? If any of you had glanced at our guests you would have seen enjoyment expressed in the close attention they gave to the old- fashioned dance. Lynn Pratt and Martha Wood, dressed in the picturesque cos- tumes of other days, were very attractive as the principals. Then, we mustn't 2-1-5 forget the others who ave it added charms, Margaret Bailey, Henry A. Hick- g , man, Betty Russell, John Brady, Louise Angerstein, James A. Schulz. The orchestra is scarcely remembered, but we do know we had good music g and good dancing. We all felt at home. Don't misunderstand us, we didn't act like we do at home, we did manage to present our company manners, especially 5,4 . . If at the table. As our famous class ester, Ral h Hoffecker, said, we could have J P n 1 sa . 2 eaten more. Q As children do, we played with the cand corn.

Some sage member ofthe faculty made the Sense and Nonsense Com- Q mittee of the Blue Chick the entertainment committee for the party. As the mem- .bx bers are all funny , the program, carefully planned, was a most entertaining one. 4 The art committee deserves quite a little credit. The decorations were beauti- ful and artistic.

Reno Nevada. une 25 1980. Dear Professor Wagner: It makes tears come to my eyes when I write to you and your wonderful school to think that I didn t know what a real school you had before When I began tak- ing your series often lessons by mail several years ago I was in very poor circum- stances and had to beg for the money to continue study. Many a time I went hungry in order that I might be able to pay for the next lesson when it came and I have always regretted I mean been thankful for it since. I am now with the WaLa WaLa Womens Ware Company out here in Reno and am constantly rising to- Ward the top You may tell anyone for me that your lessons in the care and opera- tion of elevators is well worth the money and that you can always find a place for yourself at the top and people are always ready to patronize you from the base- ment to the twelfth.

N 'i Two elective courses are offered the student, each receiving full credit, that is, I 'Q one unit per year. One year Ctwo termsj of Theory and Harmony is offered. 9 Q. In this course, the principles of musical composition are studied, from ele- E-PQ mentary scale construction through the dominant seventh chord and its inversion, il-'Q ff . . . . .

One year of the History and Appreciation of Music T is offered, in which the several periods of musical History, together with represen- ' tative composers and their compositions are studied. An effort is made to develop V ' intelligent and appreciative listeners. Further courses both in Composition and ? History will be added to the curriculum when the demand justihes them.

Art Appreciation Pa i cannot be obtained from books, it is an emotion that is inborn or induced by as- .Q 9 sociation. The knowledge of art is common, but the love of art is rare. p Q There are two reasons for the study of art. One is to increase the number of .6 5 appreciators, and the other is to multiply and train those who are skilled in the 1 Ei processes. The appreciators are the real consumers of art products, for they are 4 the ones who are conscious of beauty in design, line, and color combinations, and I D they frequent art museums. Q The art department was first busily engaged in designing posters for the rr- - Shop Early Christmas Poster contest, held by the Consumers League of Dela- tl ware. The prizes were won by two High School pupils: Edward Yotkowski won TE T I the first prize, and the second prize was won by Mary Burk Klund. ' Q' Then the posters for the Travellers Aid next claimed the attention of all art 4 pupils.

Dear Diary: February, 1926 4 if Once more I stand on the threshold, the threshold of my last year. But faith- 55 fully, as I have resolved, I will tell of that gay, mad Junior year. Is there one of us Q I who can forget the Junior year? We were a merry crowdg so we decided to give a 9 party. The party was a great success fro the few that camel. We had not yet v I learned the spirit of co-operation. 4 2,4 Our class is getting smaller and smaller, scarcely half of that eager crowd that st'-i ' 1 came in February, 1923 is left in February 1925. Now we are a part of the school. , ' A living, vital part! Teachers call us by our names, smile at us, greet us, and talk 9 like a Dutch Aunt for unclej to us. The Seniors know us Qand we know them.J ,Q ' This is the time we join clubs. A great many tried out for the dramatic club. - 'W This term, the club had an inspiration. Each member was given a pin. And such T , a pin! It was made ofa piece of scenery about an inch square with a safety pin on I Q it. Therefore the new members were easily recognized. i The Latin Club was now fully organized. The Club decided to give a Satur- ' ' nalia. We all went and had a most interesting time. We played Roman games, saw Z ' Roman plays, and heard Latin speeches. Indeed, Caesar was most convincing. For Q I weeks afterwards we practiced thumbs down or thumbs up .

I had dwindled until we had only one hundred and seven. True, it was a small class but we knew each other fairly well and could all pile into Miss Patton,s room for 2 Q. class meetings. H Q-I 4 The first part of the semester was eventful fwe must accent the full j. As , leaders we elected James Schulz, Helen Kinnard, Helen Boulanger, and Harold , 5 Plummer. The first thing done was to talk about a B4 party. We not only talked, it but put it over . It was a glorious affair, for we had learned the true spirit of co- 72 pi operation. The oH'icers, sponsors, and each indivdual worked to such an extent that in Q failure was impossible. ' , The Wilmington High School News made its first appearance with Wentworth 16 ,S Deverell as editor.

We gave a most friendly Senior reception, a sweet little play was given, Minnikin and lVlannikin with Melba Jones and Helen Boulanger as the characters. And of course, I must not forget that each teacher told each parent how wonderful his or her child was. Then came sorrow. Two of our classmates passed away. Their memory has stayed with us throughout the term. Sometimes, it seemed as though we caught a glimpse of Charles or Edwin as we went through the halls. It seemed to us as if they were away and would soon step into our school life again. First, sorrow, then, happiness, that's the way of life, you know. A wonderful thing happened! Our team won the National Swimming Championship! Were we proud? We will never forget. Why, didn't we get a holiday? Our school term was almost over, almost, but not quite. Senior Odd Day was red letter day. Red indeed, for we all Wore hats made of red card board with white letters. Senior morning followed soon after. Harry Green was chairman. The Blue Chick Serenaders won a great deal of applause fthey grew weary in well doing, keeping us in the auditorium as long as possible. That is the aim of assemblies .

Everyone had a good time and felt better enabled to help our own Blue Chick grow. Right on the heels of this, came the B-4 Party. This was in autumn, and we had decorations of the autumn colors, which were very attractive. Then hard work began in earnest. There was no shirking or resting by the way- side, as we climbed onward and upward. We have still another humane change to record' the doing away with exams entirely and the new marking system of a four to one ratio. What a wonderful feeling it was to pass serenely to our second term without the dreadful suspense which always attends exams l In our A-4 term play is thrust even furtherinto the background. The very first thing was election of class officers with this result: Franklin Holt president' Martha Wood vice president' Louise Angerstein secretary' and Howard Pan- coast treasurer. Rings and pins occupy our thoughts individual pictures caps and gowns in turn assume relative importance. The National Honor Society s report is impatiently awaited. My task is almost finished' our history is coming to a close. But still there are some things of greatest importance that must be faithfully recorded. First is the Senior Reception then Senior Odd Day. Next our Senior Prom and our Baccalaureate Service. Last and best of all Commencement when we stand on the threshold of life filled with expectancy for what is to come and also with sadness upon leaving our beloved Alma Mater. Now my story is done!

Are we not great martyrs and intelligent men- of learning compared to those in the two preceding chapters and are not the Seniors too busy burning the midnight oil in com- pleting their chapter to usurp any of our power? Indeed ti: a joy to be a unior for do not the Seniors stand while we pass into that great hall of fame to exhibit our abilities on that glorious Thanksgiving? Yes! and it is with a little regret that we lay down our cherished emblems withered and faded chysanthemums-nothing now but a memory-pressed between the pages of that sweetest chapter-our V unior Year. Only one more chapter! What a small portion before we have completed our entire book! What may be hidden in those few pages? It is all a fascinating and far too short secret. With hopes strong and spirits high we boldly face that for us unexplored region of our High School volume and realize as the time approaches that it will be decidedly more of a trial for us to close the book than it was for us to open it and become interested in that first difiicult chapter.

The game ended 31 to 7. This was the most unfortunate game of 'Q x l the season, since a victory in it would have meant a more successful season than gg if- f ever before. Most of Wilmington players will be back next year, however, and a 4 , great season is expected. Q In the Thanksgiving contest Wilmington staged a comeback and defeated wt Jenkintown by the score of 18 to 0. This was the first game in four years that Wil- 6' S mington had won on Thanksgiving Day. The game was rather one sided, Wil- Q ii mington gained at will through the Jenkintown line while Jenkintown was stopped ' i in their tracks. Penalties and fumbles, on the part of Wilmington kept the score ' from being greater than it was. ' 9 5 This year's squad was managed by Alfred de Luca, who was assisted by Lyn- 'Q S ' ford Alexander. Coach Harmer Donalson, who has been coaching for three S Y years at Wilmington High, made this successful season possible. He worked hard , Q all season giving our squad sound football tactics. Since Coach Donaldson has 9 , been at Wilmington High, we have had winning teams, each team being superior . X to the one before it. Next season should be the most successful season on High School's record. -'i gg The team consisted of:-Hagerman, Syfrit, Smith, Holt, and Hazzard at Q . Q ends, Dick, Captain Bader, Graef, and Way at tackles, Walker, Russo, Mc- p Q Mullin, McMahon, and Sikorski at guards, Crowley, Cates, and Neave at center, ' 5 while the backs consisted of Saville, Gardecki, Cole, McKelvie, Hill, Hartman, 7-.5 if and Hoffecker. ' pi Of these players, Dick, Walker, Bader, Holt, Saville, Hagerman, Cole, ' Q Cates, Syfrit, McKelvey, Gardecki, Russo, Hoffecker, and Manager Delucca re- ? 0 ceived the varsity W. 'Q Eight players will be lost this year. These players are Cole, Saville, and Hof- 75 T fecker from the back-field and Russo, Bader, Sikorski, Holt, and Neave from the D Qf line. ' 'Q Other persons who made this successful season possible should be mentioned. E' These are Dr. Roger Gregory, the Doctor and friend of the team, and Mr. Brown, ' 55 the efficient Head of the Department of Physical Education. of ' i 3-s :E 7 E or 1. 59 0 K ' - 5 siiig watmgelf ae X' Q we A 1 P H fl Yr f X ' If if V If 1 f,Q?'lfQ 'Qf 'Q Q1-UE.

The Frosh team 4 q played splendidly and proved that they were not as green as their jackets indicated. 9 Q, Because of the large turnout among the lower classmen, -there should be a wealth ' N' ' of good material for next season. The Juniors, too, had an unusually line team, that ig 54 played very well under the leadership of Sarah Devenney. The Honor Team, 4' , players picked from the various teams because of their exceptional ability in their Q respective positions, defeated the Alumni team, l-0, an event which has never 9 ut occurred before. Much of the success achieved by the team is due to the efforts of i N Miss Hay and Miss McCloskey. The Lineup for Championship game. Q F'-4 Senior: Sophmore: Y' ,FP B. MCGOVERN. . . . . . .L.
