CLAIRE MEL YIN BARTHOLOMEW

4932 Greene Street Germantown, Pa. " Claire"

"Love me little , love me long. "

The chauffeur for the school-that's Claire! Anytime anybody wants to go anywhere Claire is always on the job ready for action. Ask any of the girls, and try to find one who hasn't driven her car. We must not forget to mention that Claire was the Varsity Hockey Captain.

ELEANORE VIRGINIA BETSON

422 South 47th Street West Philadelphia, Pa. ''Bets"

"Madame, bear in mind that princesses govern all things-save the 'Wind.'"

We have to hand it to Eleanore, passing our Purity Test with a 90 per cent! Don't let them kid you "Bets," it is absolutely necessary that a Sunday School teacher should have these requirements. We also give her credit for the constant work she puts on The Record-in fact on everything given her to do, we know no equal.

RHEA HILTON BETTS

721 South 63rd Street Philadelphia, Pa. rrRee"

" I see a youth whose eyes are fixed on something far away."

Sh! Here comes Rhea. What would we do without her to tell us when it's time to leave Art Class? What gives "Ree" her curly hair? Maybe it's the soup she gets for lunch, we've never known her to fail.

Clubs: Service. Library. Sketch.

JOHN RULON BIGGS, JR.

821 Drexel Avenue

Drexel Hill, Pa. "Jack"

"W hatever he did, was done with so much ease. In him alone 'twas natural to please."

We were glad to have "Jack" join our class this year as a Post Grad. That he wasn't loafing can easily be seen by the list of his activities below. Some of his activities, however, are not listed below. Incidentally, he sang like an Australian jackass in "The Wishing Well."

GRACE VIRGINIA BLACKBURN

3206 West Penn Street Germantown, Pa. "Babe"

" It's better to burn out , than to rust out."

Here comes Grace, laughing-"Did you hear this one?" That's Grace all right. Grace always has one handy that will delight our souls and make even the most stoical laugh. She also shines in eating sandwiches-and we must not forget the salted nuts.

PATRICIA BONSALL

208 North 35th Street Philadelphia, Pa.

"Pattie"

"The king, himself, has followed her when she has ridden before."

Now I wonder what we all think of when we see "Pattie"? Well, lots of things. Horses, riding championships, good-looking clothes, horses, dancing, luncheons, plays, and horses, and horses. And poetry, and horses, and good arguments, and a general knowledge of practically everything -and horses.

NINA MILNER BOWERS

55 East Greenwood Avenue Lansdowne, Pa. "Nina"

"Character calls forth character."

Busy! Did you ever see anyone with so much to do all at once as "Nina"? How does she do it? From one committee to another; and yet she gets everything done. None but "Nina" could do it, and we couldn't have made a better choice for Class President.

ADDISON REID BROWN, JR.

4720 Windsor Avenue Philadelphia, Pa.

"Babe"

"Venus smiled and said, 'Good.'"

One of these smooth, dark, handsome men that women should beware of. But he can also play football-and how! Unfortunately his work in French wasn't up to scratch in our Junior year. And still more unfortunately, by a combination of extraordinary circumstances {and a Ford), he was unable to finish our Senior year with us.

JAMES WHITNEY BUNTING

1730 North Edgewood Street Overbrook, Pa.

' ' Scarface "

rr T here's a skeleton in every hou se "

"Scarface," the lad who dares to brave a strong wind. That takes nerve in his case, but he 's still the best-natured fellow in the class. He twangs a mean mandolin, and smashes a torrid sphere across the nets.

JOHN STOKES CLEMENT, JR.

Meeting House Road Jenkintown, Pa.

rr Self-reverence, self-knowledge and self-control. "

Stokes is known equally for the A's on his report and the F. C.'s on his sweaters. We've heard it rumored, too, that he is the original Clement of the famous Clement Chart. As Class President and Chairman of the Student Council his great work was to keep the sheep in the fold. Offices: Class President, Senior. President of Student Council, Senior.

DOROTHY DEAN DAVEY

Emlen Arms, 6733 Emlen Street

Germantown, Pa. "Dean"

" She's pretty to walk with, witty to talk with and pleasant to think on, too."

Mansfield, Ohio, is (from what we hear) the only town in U. S., and the male inhabitants are especially fine. However, if we are to judge by the rings under her eyes on Monday morning, "Dean" has no reason to complain of her success in Philadelphia. Clubs: Service. Library.

310 West Upsal Street "Alice"

Germantown, Pa.

" A light heart lives long. "

It's a wonder that all of Alice's hair hasn't fallen out by now. We never saw anyone comb her hair so much before. Waving it is also her specialty, and it always looks nice. Maybe she has her own reasons for wanting it to look nice. T earns: Basketball, A Senior. Hockey, Squad A Senior.

VERA ALBERTINE DICKENSHEETS

830 Monmouth Street Gloucester, N. ].

"Dickie"

"A low Yo ice is an excellent thing in a woman."

We wonder why Vera sits by the window so much? "What was that-a Ford horn? Yes, it was. Come, Jean, let's go out for a walk." Ah!

So that's it. Now we understand. Clubs: Service. Library. Sketch.

DOROTHY DREW

7215 Emlen Street Germantown, Pa. " Dot"

" With youth , a singing voice , and e y es , to take earth's wonder with surprise."

"Dot" is our class artist. Most of the art work in The Record book is her's. She is also the owner of a black Chevy coupe, that everybody in the class has ridden in at least once. Ohl-And don't forget "Dot's" smile. We're not likely to.

RALPH PORTER EARLE

Aldan, Pa. " Ralph"

" I was always a LoYer of soft-win g ed thing s."

Since Ralph has been in Friends' Central he has taken part in almost every play presented. Mrs. Flick couldn't get along without him. Brought up in the great open spaces of Aldan he vies with Mr. Tobias in knowledge of our feathered friends-not to mention his prowess on the soccer field.

rrMarge"

rrw hose happy heart has power , To make a stone a flower."

Not only "whose happy heart," but also whose very, very pleasing voice, and manner, all of which helped to put over the Spring Play in a big way. · "Marge" also has several other accomplishments-all very nice-and pleasing to the eye and ear.

41 Kent Road

R. FELTON, JR.

Upper Darby

rr Harry"

rrMen have died from time to time and worms have eaten them, but not for love."

Harry is another one of these strong silent men who let off steam on the soccer field. Outside of an occasional misunderstanding with the English department he is a steady fellow and well-liked. The baseball players tell us that he has a wicked in-shoot.

Teams: Soccer, Senior. Baseball, Senior.

101 W. Tabor Road "Larry"

Olney, Pa.

" Untwisting all the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony."

Though he entered our class many years ago, "Larry" has never been known to waste a word. His talents as a pianist were utilized this year in the Blue and Gray Orchestra, and we've heard that he also plays the organ. Any afternoon in the Fall he could have been found booting the pill around the soccer field.

Teams: Soccer, A. Senior.

Clubs : Service, B. Orchestra, Senior.

Bridgeport, Pa.

rr Jean"

"Light of step and heart was she."

Jean is known best powdering her nose, and talking to Vera. Outside of that, she doesn't let us know much about herself. We have heard stray mysterious words that slipped out now and then, like "Southerner," and "deep voice"-so we leave the rest to your imagination.

Clubs: Service. Library.

ELEANOR McKENZIE FORBES

5400 Diamond Street Philadelphia, Pa

rr Eleanor"

rroh, Nightingale, cease from thy enamored tale." Eleanor aspires to high things, and great deeds. In fact she is aiming at grand opera. All the girls that were at Hockey Camp the Summer of 1929 are called to testify about her voice (per "The Desert Song") . Aside from this Eleanor is a good jumping center in Basketball.

" Joking decides great things , Ardmore, Pa.

Stronger and better, oft , than earnest can. "

As our nautical expert when any questions aris e concerning boats, "Egg" is sought, and the question is soon answered. He is also the class clown and keeps us in excellent humor. For many years Edgar gave the varsity ends a tough battle , and finally won his letter.

Teams: Football, Senior.

115 West Coulter Street Germantown, Pa. " Nancy"

"The mildest manners and the gentlest heart."

"Nancy" is another one of our riders. Every once in a while after school, she disappears, looking extremely nice in a gray and black riding habit.

"Nancy" is always ready for a good time, too. (Remember Washington?) Oh! and we mustn't forget the movie camera.

Clubs: Service. Library. Sketch.

N. FULMER HOFFMAN, JR.

1602 Vine Street Philadelphia, Pa.

"Flash"

"I to myself am dearer than a friend."

"Flash," ever since he has known what a football, a basketball or a baseball is used for, has been a stellar athlete. He was quarterback of the football team, high scorer of the basketball five, and captain and shortstop of the baseball team. He plays a mean piano, and crowned his efforts along this line by writing a song, "Fight On, Friends' Central," which has been heartily received by the school.

BERTHA ELIZABETH FEHR KANOUSE

201 E. Gorgas Lane Mt. Airy, Pa. "Bee"

"She whom I love is hard to catch and conquer. Hard, but 0 the glory of the winning were she " won.

Uh, Uh. Here we come to "Bee", who will act as our guide thru Wesleyan-and other places. There is a whole lot to be said about "Bee", but it's all for her, and all nice, so we'll just content ourselves with saying that the quotation is very apt.

RICHARD KAVANAGH

1112 County Line Road "Dick"

"Let them call it mischief; Bryn Mawr, Pa. When it is past and prospered 'twill be -virtue."

Leaving Radnor flat on its back, "Dick" joined us in our last year. As a member of the Football Team, Basketball Team, and Unholy Three, he soon made a place for himself here. His wise cracks never fail to bring a laugh or an old shoe from all of us.

T earns: Football. Basketball, Senior. Clubs: Service.

Upper Darby, Pa.

rrLewie"

"Comb down his hair; look, look! It stands upright."

Some fellows are liked by everyone: "Lewie" is one of these. His good nature and naturalness have deservedly made him one of the most popular fellows in the class. Golf is his sport, and on nice days he can usually be seen hitting the pill around the hockey fields, with his lips moving in a peculiar manner ou the rare occasions when he taps one. It's the saxophonist in him coming out.

" Harold"

Oak Lane, Pa.

"No man provokes me with impunity."

CATHERINE LUDEN

6399 Drexel Road Overbrook, Pa.

"Catherine"

"Love and a cough cannot be hid."

If girls are standing around, their eyes green with envy, it is because of Catherine's clothes, and the way she wears them. We have her to thank for the refreshments, decorations and lucky number dance that made our Senior dance a success.

Clubs: Service. Library.

STUART H. MASON

440 S. 50th Street Philadelphia, Pa. "Stew"

"One vast substantial smile."

If you want to know anything about the manly art of self-defense, just ask "Stew." You'll usually find him in the Penn boxing gym. He is one of the few fellows who admits he knows nothing about girls. We hear that he has been offered an editorship in the combined Bernarr McFadden publications.

T earns: Football. Basketball. Baseball, Senior.

SARA ELIZABETH MILLS

203 Sunset Avenue Jenkintown Manor, Pa. ''Beeb"

"Her eyes were sparks, kindling all the place around."

"Beeb" is very fond of starch-at least it seemed so down at Washington. In fact, we were all a little worried, but Mary fixed her up. There are some things, we would like to know. She was too quiet one night, and it made us suspicious. Be careful of those dogs, "Beeb."

FRANK HARDY MOORE

211 Walnut Avenue Wayne, Pa.

"Frank"

"There are few persons who pursue science with true dignity."

Although his scientific inclinations at first bewildered us, we soon found that Frank possessed an unusual sense of humor. In 504.67 English compositions Frank told us what every young boy should know about locomotives.

207 Meeting House Road, Jenkintown Manor, Pa.

"Jane"

" Hang sorrow! . Care will kill the cat, and therefore let's be merry."

Jane is one of the new additions to our Senior Class, who has made Swarthmore her goal. Have you ever seen the girl who flashes these Trig. papers-all 100's-before your eyes? That's Jane! "She ain't so dumb." But rash! She does things on the spur of the moment, or how else can we account for the tumbler of water that someone threw on the elevator boy?

LOGAN PARRY

541 Pelham Road Mt. Airy, Germantown, Pa.

rr Janet"

' ' Begone dull care! Thou and I shall never agree."

Janet is another one of the naturally bright ones, who is always on the Senior Privilege list. However, she shines in other ways because someone blond and good looking comes to take her home two or three times a week.

HELEN MARGARET PIKE

6333 Woodbine Avenue Overbrook, Pa. "Mike"

Ruth is another one of the "here today and gone tomorrow" girls, only too often she isn't "here today." But she has a good reason for not coming-Ruth really has been sick. In her spare moments, Ruth is one of our athletes. She is president of the A. A. Council and she played wing on the Varsity Hockey Team for two years. Offices: President, A. A. Council Senior Year.

"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."

Although "Joe" joined our august group only in our last year, he has proved himself worthy of that singular honor. He is an athlete of the first magnitude as well as a demon Ford wrecker. Of course it wasn't his fault, but--. Teams: Football. Basketball. Baseball, Senior. Clubs: Service.

ROBERT H. SCARBOROUGH, JR.

6156 Columbia Avenue Philadelphia, Pa. "Bob"

" He was a bold man that first did eat an oyster."

"Bob" is one of the fellows who graduated to Overbrook with Mr. Skilling. We remember him from the old days, when it was: "Hoffman, Hurst, Jackson, Laing, Liggit, Scarborough and Serber." He has always been a well-liked fellow-witness his collection of snapshots.

"Bill" has been in the class ever since the old days at 15th and Race. He made quite a name for himself on the Blue and Gray Staff and on The Record Staff. His reputation as a scholar is exceeded only by his reputation as a wrecker of Ford cars.

Not that "Len" frowns-only if she did , it wouldn't make any difference. Here we have also, another guide for Wesleyan, if "Bee" needs any assistance.

"Len" is famous for her parties-after the progressive dinner and in Christmas week andoh! lots of them, and for her helpful (-?) art efforts.

EDISON H. STANHOPE

5 Media Avenue

Upper Darby, Pa.

"Ed"

"The grass stoops not, he treads on it so light."

As captain of the soccer team "Ed" used his feet all afternoon in the Fall; no wonder they were tender for the rest of the year. Whenever the Orchestra gave an assembly he could be seen puffing away passionately on his little "sax," and filling the hall with harmony.

THOMAS NOEL STERN

63rd and Chestnut Streets Philadelphia, Pa.

"Tom"

"I would the gods had made thee poetical."

Changing the scene of his activities from soccer field to track, from track to dancing floor, "Tom" has found himself busy all year. His poetic efforts are very interesting, to say the least. Perhaps he'll be Vachel Lindsay's successor.

Teams: Soccer, Senior.

PAULINA STONE

319 Louella Avenue Wayne, Pa. "Peggy"

Merion, Pa.

"Life is a great bundle of little things."

All we have to do is just look at little "Edie" and we know right away whether she's had company the night before. If she had, you'll see her bouncing along in the sunshine talking away, walking very much on air. If she hadn't she'll still be talking, only walking very much on the pavement. Strange (?) to say, she's mostly the former.

"She moves a goddess, and she looks a queen."

Talk about bluffers, "Taiters" is one to perfection. It is an art to be able to do it as she does; none of us, try hard as we may, can compete with her. Then too, she excels in dramatics, and was the President of the Dramatic Club.

Salutation

JT IS MY privilege to welcome all of you, our friends and parents, to these Class Day exercises and to say that we are glad you are here to celebrate with us.

This is an especially important day, for us because the activities of this afternoon and this evening are our last celebrations together as the Senior Class of Friends' Central School.

This is a remarkable class and is noted for many things. It is the largest class that has been graduated since Friends' Central has been in Overbrook; the girls of the class have "adopted" a large family of boys and have given over of their own money to its support; .tonight our fathers and mothers are giving us a dinner here at school after these exercises. No other class has ever had such thoughtful mothers and fathers, so you see we really must be remarkable. There are many other noteworthy things about us which I haven't time now to mention, but I hope before this afternoon is over they will be evident.

LThe

Ballad of 193 o in six fits and a dying gasp

' Twas a stormy night and the fire wa s lit

While the wind it howled about ;

' Twas the kind of a night when people sit

By th eir hearths , not venture out

A kno ck was heard a t the old inn door

" A traveler! " quoth the host

The g uest s jeered at him , " A night like thi s"

They sa id , "might bring a ghost

" No man of wit and intelligent mien

Would trust his bones to this storm.

Respe ctable folk , when elements blow

Stay indoors keeping warm. "

The host returned with two figures bent By ag e and the toils of fate , They cackled shrill when told about A flat at the old inn gate

There was no garage, it seemed, for miles

So rhey kissed the buggy goodbye, The faithful roadster a decade had served When all ochers had learned ro fly

So after they'd staved their hunger off

And sa t by rhe roaring blaze, The host requested in ac cents low

The tale of their youthful days

The t ravelers then seemed glad to relate

The epic chat we quote;

We assure you th a t it was told as truth , And as the truth ' tis wrote .

uLong years ago in an eastern town , Philadelphia by name , ' Twas nineteen twenty-four when we Set out for future fame

" It was on a bright September morn

At Fifteenth Street and Ra ce, We knocked on Higher Learning 's door And entered her embrace

" With Mrs Hawley as our guide

We soon began to learn To mind the rules, to keep m line And nor speak out of turn.

" We journeyed far on many days To pl a y the game of hockey And though we worked , we must confess The road seemed rather ro cky

"Oh no my children, we could not Disport on our front yard With cars to catch and trains to take It really was quite hard

"It was at the season of Hallowe ' en The D 's gave us a party, We frolicked in the gym and Oh! The merriment was hearty

" Then came the gym team for the meetA most important choice, The final ten were judged a third While we cheered with lusty voi ce

"Oh , yes , we almost failed to tell That St Patrick's Day, the D 's Were entertained by our busy tribe, In the lunchroom , if you please

"The Spring brought baseball in the yard , The C Class play, and dreams Of greener fields and greater trees, A!}d we weren ' t far wrong , ir seems

" For rumor flew about the school That we were going to leave Fifteenth and Ra ce, and this good news Did nor our ears deceive.

" Commencement was the thrill supreme Of all that seventh grade seasonWe had our first three honour girls And char seemed quite rhe reason.

"Alas we were leaving the brick courtyard And the meeting house for ayeWe planned ro settle in Overbrook To study and to play

* * * * Fit the second!

" September of nineteen twenty -five Found us amidst green fields , White goalposts, and mansions of grey stone , And the studies of which we spiel.

" Kind Mrs . Fletcher led us through The mazes of Latin verbs; And when we think of those early trials The memory disturbs.

" Away from the city ' s storm and strife And the rattling trolley cars, Our athletic prowess improved along With our three rather grown -up R 's

"For was it not Miss Day's D Class Who were the champs in hockey? They played their best and beat the rest, Therefore we felt right cockey.

"Unlike their wont in former years, Assemblies were held in the hall. So we clustered round in our stout camp chairs , Tho' the space was rather small.

"And chen we remember the brand new gym Which grew from week to week, And seemed, being built in so short a time, An accomplishment unique.

"To carry the custom of Hallowe'en, We entertained the E's In the library, decked with orange and black , And none it failed to please.

"Then when the winter came on apace, With its cold and frosty snow, The golf course, driveways and skating pond, Became the places to go

"We slipped and slid the campus o'er Each frozen afternoon, Until we thought we would become Eskimos efcsoon.

"But Spring, when it did finally come Brought more Spring fever than ever, For who, in the midst of green trees and flowers, Can at their books be clever?

"When finals arrived, we hated to leave Miss Day and Geography, But progress is as progress does , And we said goodbye to D.

Fit the third!

"Miss Evans welcomed us into C, And didn ' t we feel big? With the Chapel room for our very own We felt encouraged co dig.

"And dig we did, Biology became Our single ruling passion, All manner of strange animals seemed A necessary fashion.

"This same strange course rook us to the Zoo, Where we listed all the mammals, And from the notes, no one could tell The elephants from the camels

"We also saw an tee-cream plantWhich seemed a Scotchman's dream; We had free milk, free movies, and What's more, cakes and ice-cream.

"Again October thirty-first Became a gala day, This time the boys of our good class Helped us be extra gay.

"The next big milestone on our road Was called "The Charm School," And was given as the C Class play According to the rule.

"Our first performance, at the school Turned out a huge success, The next, held in the Young Friends' Hall, Was mentioned by the press.

uA repetition e'en was made, At Rose Valley, where the lights Were dim, but the players' hearts were stout, And they acted with all their mights.

"Then as the Spring came rolling on Biology led us farther, To Mount Holly, where we saw the birds , And Crossley, flowers to gather.

"The June of nineteen twenty-seven Saw us out of the Junior High, And with chis mighty change we felt The millennium almost nigh.

"Gone were our childish outbursts, gone Like Rome and lost Atlantis, We now were almost grown-up, and This fact they had to grant us.

* Fit the fourth!

"Hurrah for the B's, September found Us all in quite a hurry. Why not, look who our reacher was , No one but Mrs. Murray!

"Our hockey again brought us the cup, The third in our 1=areer, Although the cream of our athletes , With the Varsity did appear.

"The school, meantime, had grown so large That the gym was used to gather Us all for meetings, games, and talks, Parties, and general palaver.

"Algebra, in spite of Mr. Schultz And his teaching, was a hurdle, That appeared insurmountable, And seemed our brains to curdle.

"In the B Class year, the Senior Dance Became a serious matter, This was because we felt ourselves Quite old in looks and chatter.

"We laid old Ceasar's ghost that year, With Mr. Place's book, We translated with might and main, And much was the time it took.

".:This was the famous season when, All in what seemed a hurry, Our teacher dear dropped Miss Gillette, And became Mrs. Murray.

"A large new bugbear raised its head 'Twas College Boards by name, And after seeing our example exams, E'en Algebra seemed tame.

"This too was the famous time and place Where Mr. Skilling taught us A course in Ancient History And on our dates he caught us.

"Oh, joy! As girlish Sophomores, We carried the daisy chain, For the Seniors to walk through as they went, Their sheepskins for to gain.

"One school year had passed amidst Our glory and our work, And had been steered carefully through The pitfalls that might lurk.

* * * *

Fit the fifth!

"What ho! Y e lasses young and small We saw four years ago, Have grown to be young ladies, If we dare to call it so.

"Poor Miss Munroe had a task to guide Some thirty odd through that year, And to foretell what we might say or do, She must have been a seer.

"Geometry grabbed some by the throat And made our ideas Plane, With circles, chords, triangles, lines, All mixed inside the brain.

"There were others too who laboured hard To Chemistry comprehend, And to the molecules and such Their senses they did lend.

"This year the Senior Dance meant mo r e Than ever to our gang, For we had to think of the Junior affair Which would on our shoulders hang.

"May it be mentioned here and now, That the nineteen thirty class Had numbers on the Varsities, For we cannot let that pass.

"Then too, the BLUE AND GRAY, m March Held annual election, And it was nineteen thirty's turn To be of that selection.

"Approached the spring, we held our dance, In May, at the Brookline Square, And it turned out well for almost all Of the Upper School was there.

"As the weeks rolled by we felt quite old, And when finals came at last, We realized the rollicking fun Of our Junior days was past.

"Sing hey for five long winters' work And for our joy and sorrow, We now were Senior glory bequeathed, And honour for the morrow * * * * Fit the sixth!

"Before school opened in the fall, Invitations came, For a campfire supper on the grounds, Bearing the Jones's name.

"This was a most prodigious feast With food cooked by the boys, And entertainment by the girls, With songs and lots of noise.

"Still, being Seniors had its trials, As soon we did discover, For as a class we never were Of work the ardent lover.

"About a month since school began Another supper came, This time, the girls cooked and the boys Entertained the same.

"A favoured few could study free In any wanted place, And marks for this advantage Quite soon became a race.

"Another privilege came at lunch When we stood first in line, And thus received the choicest bits Every single time.

"'Twas then The Record loomed m view, A reality, in truth, A most gigantic job it proved, An enormous task, forsooth

"The event of the season, the Senior Dance, Was the seventh of February, And at the Pennsylvania, All F. C. S. made merry.

"A luncheon was given us by the girls Of the other classes , which we , As reCipients of the mighty treat Will keep in memory

"Friends ' Central 's musical comedy, 'The Wishing Well ' was given, And we who willed, worked night and day , A s though by ne cessity driven.

"It seemed a great event to us , That first play of its kind, And quite a milestone in the school To leave for those behind.

"And now the tale of the thirty-seven Grows dim in our eyes and mind , Miss Fussell ' s Senior guidance tho ' With the story is aligned

L"Six years amid Friends' Central 's folk, Six years of our youth well-spent, Though now you see us old a nd worn , Rheumatic, wrinkled and bent."

The Dying Gasp!

The embers of the once bright fire Burned low on the old inn grate, When the tale was ended by the crones, And the hour was very late

Then spake the host, "Good wives, I trow You ' ll be seeking a bed for the nightMy house is open, have wh a t you will , And welcome you are in my sight. "

So runneth the tale, and endeth it too, With a hey and a ho and a di derry down-o If you will be wise, go to F. C. S. too, With a ho and a hey and a derry di down-o.

Boys' History

QNE was marked "Lansdowne"-another "Race St."-one "Overbrook Station" -here and there were a few smaller ones unmarked-slowly this odd procession came winding up the long driveway. On either side stretched a beautiful grasscovered campus, dotted with trees. In front, partly hidden by shrubs rose a large building, beatiful in its architecture and with ivy creeping over its stony sides.

Thus one bright September morning in 1926 we came. We-a group of seventeen Freshmen, proverbially fresh. With eyes full of wonder we gazed at the building. Some of us remembered the old "Race Street" school and were awed at the contrast. It was with eager faces that we entered the main building and took up our quarters in one of the third-floor rooms. Here, under the supervision of Mr. Schultz, we became acquainted with the ways of Friends' Central, and with each other-"Kid" Brown, "Toke" Clement, "Nose" Mason, "Remie" Hurst, "S. R b f S b h " "J " L" "S f " B . "M " L" . 1r o ert o car oroug , erry mton, car- ace untmg, ope 1gg1tt, "Corporal" T rumpy, "Bill" Serber, "Sir Camel of Jackson," "Coach" Hoffman, "Henry" Laing, "Bird-Club" Earle, "Shrimp" Sutton, "Seaman" Hires, and lastly, but far from least, "Gobo" Moore. Quelle famille! Our Freshman year, under the administration of "Coach" Hoffman, passed rather peacefully until spring. Then came biological expeditions into foreign climes. At Mount Holly "Toke" Clement nearly murdered Earle after the latter had accidently overturned a canoe, containing both individuals. Later in the spring, at Crosley, a number of our classmen were on the verge of being lost in the quick-sand swamps when "Seaman" Hires appeared and relieved the situation. June! Came the Finals! Vacation.

After a summer's absence the class, browned and weatherbeaten, again climbed the driveway. We discovered that we were not to room in the main building. We were given a room in the "Bugology" lab with Mr. Tobias as our home room teacher. We found that Henry Laing had failed to answer the summons, but we gladly gave room to "Louie" Kirchhofer, "Count" Von Uffel, Edison Stanhope and "Larry" Felton. During the fall an epidemic broke out in the class. Everyone became football-minded. The majority of the class were on the scrub team and a considerable amount of scrubbing was done. In fact the class had a clean slate with the possible exception of a few demerits which piled up mechanically and systematically. These socalled demerits are in the habit of flocking around a certain type of individual. "Coach" Hoffman found very little difficulty in attracting to himself a number of demerits, and under their influence one could often see him on the wood-pile. Do not think "Coach" was a lone attractor. Oh! no! Our class contained several magnetic geniuses. "Jerry" Linton was elected president of the class and "Kid" Brown set about collecting the "hordes" of money necessary in the graduation of the class.

This event seemed a long way off, and since no one took the matter seriously, Brownie had some job.

We are Juniors! Our goal is just ahead! One step more!

"Sir Camel of Jackson" and "Remie" Hurst decided to seek their fortunes elsewhere, and Sutton fearing his mind would outgrow his body, dropped out of school to spend a year on a ranch. We welcomed, however, John DeLancey -a boom to the coeds-and Terrell Walker. Our Junior year must be recorded as the "year of broken noses" for during the football season everyone was wearing a strip of adhesive across the bridge of his nose. is suspected that a broken bone was not to be found under every strip of adhesive, however-popularity is a great thing.

Having reelected "Jerry" Linton as president his second administration passed rather successfully. The Junior dance-held at the Brookline Square Club-was a huge success, due to the earnest efforts of Sir Robert and John DeLancey-to say nothing of the other side of the house. Several members gave class parties which every one enjoyed. It was a good year.

But not so good as the one to come. Seniors! We are Seniors! No more waiting in line at the lunch counter-Senior Privileges. Our enrollment increased greatly and "Larry" Eagan, "Harry" Felton, "Dick" Kavanagh, "Billy" Mason, "Joe" Sample, "Tom" Stern and "Jim" Whitesell increased our numbers from nineteen to twenty-six. Donald Trumpy was the only member of the class who failed to enter our Senior class with us.

Senior year! It is hard to narrate the events which occurred thick and fast in the last months which we were to spend in this school. Parties-Senior DanceWashington-Commencement.

April and May flew by. June arrived. Finals! Marks! Graduation!

From now on the history of the Class of 1930 is still in the future. Some attempts to look ahead and prophesy what the future will bring. But at this milestone in our long journey let us not look ahead-no, let us look back-back at those ivy-covered walls, that beautiful campus, those dear memories and let us not feel sad-rather let us pause a moment and decide that in the days to come we will so strive and so succeed as to bring honor-the honor deserved-on Friends' Central, the school which has made us what we are and which we are about to leave.

Class Poem

No matter how we meet After this closing day

It never can be the same It's but a memory. The other classes now

Make a new, an unknown school No comrade have we there None with us can feel. Our teachers .have forgotten All our little ways New paths have made us change With the passing of the days.

The F. C. S. we knew Was far that day And we've nothing now m common But a memory;

A memory that comes In flashes clear and warm And leaves us with a sense Of loneliness and time.

Goodbye F. C. S.!

You we love today

Tomorrow we shall love As a memory!

rBoys' Athletic History

THEClass of 1930 has always figured prominently in athletics in one way or another since the ninth grade. We have all participated either on our athletic teams or as a sport enthusiast, and have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from our well-laid athletic system.

Our first year in High School was a very successful one, both for our Class and the Varsity teams. The school seemed to talk, eat and think athletics. The Varsity football team, aided by our class member "Jerry" Linton, lost only its opening game and won all the others by impressive scores. That year the victory over Germantown Friends' School was especially sweet. The other Varsity teams fared just as well. Fulmer and Hoffman played Varsity baseball while Linton , Brown, Hires and Mason received their track numerals.

That year our class managed to defeat all comers in the Intramural Basketball League. It had been necessary to win, for Mr. Schultz had promised to treat the class in case of victory, which hr did. Jackson, Hoffman, Laing, Hurst, Mason, Brown and Clement composed the squad. Our class baseball team was not able to defeat the mighty Senior Class in the averages, but we humbled them in one of our two contests with them.

In our Sophomore year a few of our members began to make themselves known on the teams. "Jerry" Linton and our new classmate, Warren Von Uffel, were real mainstays on the football squad, while the 130-pound team was composed mostly of members of the Class. Hoffman and Hurst won Varsity basketball letters as did Linton, Mason and Hoffman in baseball. Von Uffel and Trump y were aids to the track team.

We again won the Class basketball trophy without any trouble, the Class team being identically the same as the school second team.

When our Class assembled for football in September of our Junior year a big difference was noticeable in our Class physically. The boys were much older and bigger, and were ready for the new Interacademic League competition. Brown , Hoffman and Mason figured prominently as Varsity ball-toters, while Clement and Scarborough went in to help Linton and Von Uffel as linemen. We managed to place fifth in the league, leading Penn Charter, · Haverford and our old rival Germantown Friends'.

Earle, Serber and Stanhope played Varsity soccer while the same fellows who had played basketball and baseball managed to come through again. Von Uffel played the Varsity centre berth in basketball. Edgar Hires again ran the mile with fairly good success in company with Brown, Von Uffel, Clement and Stanhope in the shorter distances and field events. We all parted for the summer hoping for greater conquests in our Senior and last year.

The autumn of 1929 saw us a bigger and better Class all-around. The group of fellows who returned was enlarged by Kavanagh, Billy Mason, Sample and Sherwood. With this strong aggregation we hoped for big results. We opened the season with a 37-0 defeat of Church Farm School. Then, however, we lost a heart-breaking game to Episcopal in the last few minutes. From then on our injured list dogged us like a jinx, but in spite of this we ended the season with a final spurt, winning our final three games and breaking even in games won and lost. We might say here that in our final game with Chestnut Hill Academy, we had but two substitutes on the bench. The football team held its final gettogether at Easton, Pennsylvania, in a small inn, an incident not soon to be forgotten.

The soccer team captained by Edison Stanhope and aided by a good many of our members did surprisingly well in Interacademic competition.

The basketball team of this year was the pride of everyone. It had a chance for first place honors up until the final game and finished second to Germantown Academy and its team of six-footers. We defeated Penn Charter in a three extraperiod game which will never be forgotten by any one present at that contest. We won five of our seven league contests and twelve of our total eighteen games, some of them against the best fives in or around Philadelphia. Seven of the ten members of the Varsity Squad were of the Class of '30 as were many of the second team. The seven representatives were Sample, Kavanagh, Hoffman, Biggs, Clement, W. Mason and Von Uffel. They all played very good basketball and as we said before were the pride of all of us.

Before closing this little resume we wish to express our thanks to our coaches and friends, "Doug" Crate and Folwell Scull, who have helped us over many rough spots, and even when our athletic prospects seemed most gloomy, stuck by us and helped us along.

1930's Future

TEN

years is a long time to the inmate of a penitentiary, but to me it has simply flown. Here it is 1940, and I've just returned from Europe. I have so much to tell you about my trip.

Well, I started from Broad Street Station. I was comfortably seated in a Pullman watching the people, when a very stately woman attracted my attention. She was exquisitely groomed and by her mannerisms one would have thought her a duchess. Yet, there was something familiar about her. I watched her for a long time and suddenly she must have felt my eyes upon her, for she turned around. Oh, what a surprise! It was Helen Jackson. We recognized each other at once, and I rushed over to her overwhelming her with questions-"Where have you been?" "How are you?" "Where are you going?" etc. She said she was going to New York to see Grace Blackburn in a new show. She asked me to come with her to see it. My boat didn't sail until the following noon so I gladly said I would. Finally we arrived in New York. Neither of us talked out. It seemed so queer to see the name Grace Blackburn in bright lights on Broadway. The play was excellent. Grace, of course, was the comedian. Oh, the name of the play? Let's see-something about "later"-Oh, I know, "We'll Bring That up Later."

Up in a box I noticed a woman who seemed to be making notes on the play. I took her to be a critic. I mentioned her to Helen and I noticed at different times Helen looked at her in rather a puzzled way. Finally she said to me, "Isn't that Louise Tait?" I looked again and to be sure it was Louise. As soon as the show was over we went up to the box. She was more than a little surprised I can tell you. We all decided right there to go back stage and get Grace, then go to our hotel and talk over old times. On the way over Louise told us she was a critic for "The New York World," but that this was her last night of work for a while since she was sailing for Europe the following noon. All this was too much for me. I gasped and then asked her which line she was sailing on.

"The Krout Line," she replied.

I nearly passed out for I was sailing on that too. We both rejoiced at having found companions for the trip as well as being able to renew an old friendship. We talked until early hours of the morning-then Grace and Louise left us. Louise and I planned to meet on the boat the next day. The following morning I left Helen and wept to the boat. I met Louise as I'd planned, and went to our staterooms to unpack. I heard the whistle blow and decided I'd go on deck and get my last look at New York before sailing. They were just about to pull up the

gang-plank when I saw two girls, bags in hand, hats on the back of their heads, running toward the boat. They rather amused me, they brought to me the days at Friends' Central when I had to run to be on time. Both of them came puffing up on to the boat, and who do you think they were-Lucinda and Alice. They didn't even see me they were so interested in having made the boat. Someone near me seemed also to be amused. She was giggling to herself. The laugh was so familiar I turned around almost rudely, and behold-there was Betty Moore. She started to say something about their nearly missing the boat when she recognized me. "You! Alice and Lou," she stammered. "What is it, a reunion?"

I told her I was as surprised as she, and then added that Louise was on the boat After talking a while, we decided to send a note to Alice and Lou and all have dinner together.

As we ate the orchestra played. Everyone remarked how good the orchestra was. It was Madame I. 0. Keen's orchestra under new management. The leader hadn't as yet arrived. Soon everyone started to applaud, and in walked Marge Evans. We were all wondering why Marge was so well known, when we saw her walk up to the orchestra and start leading it. {So this was Madame M. V. Evans, the new manager.) Well we'd always given Marge credit for knowing a good orchestra.

Pretty soon a little dark-haired girl came out to give impersonations. She was quite clever. She impersonated Ted Lewis so that you wouldn't know her from the original. And when she sang "What wouldn't I Do for That Man," you would have thought it was Helen Morgan herself. She walked over to our table and started to sing, and there was Peggy White! She immediately recognized us and then related the story of her career and of Marge's. By this time Marge had discovered us. She in turn had news for us. To our surprise she told us the "Krout Line" was owned by Helen Krout, and that this was how she happened to be playing on this boat. Helen wasn't on that boat as she was taking a Mediterranean crutse.

We had a wonderful time on the boat, but I have so much more to say that I can't tell you any more about it.

Our first stop was Plymouth, England. It was a beautiful country, and having left my friends and being once more alone, I decided to see more of it. I stayed at a typically old-fashioned inn. After obtaining a room and leaving my baggage, I went out for a walk. As I was walking down a little dirt lane, I heard the trod of horses. I saw them approaching and was intensely interested in one particular girl rider; she seemed so at ease and so comfortable on her horse. As she passed, I saw it was Peggy Stone. Of course, she didn't recognize me until I called to her, but when I did she knew me instantly. We stood talking for a long time, and during the conversation Peggy invited me to her new home to spend that night. I was so pleased at seeing her I didn't even stop to wonder if

it were convenient for her before I accepted. We agreed to meet that evening at seven o'clock and then parted.

It seemed the next thing I knew, I was Miss Peggy's guest. She had a wonderful stock farm, which seemed to be the pride of the surrounding country. I stayed there for the night and left by train for London the next morning.

When I arrived in London, there seemed to be excitement in the very air.

I bought a newspaper on my way over to the hotel and saw in headlines PRINCE OF WALES SAVED BY AMERICAN HORSEWOMAN. I actually devoured the account for the heroine was none other than Patty Bonsall. But the item gave no news of her residence so I was not able to see her.

As I was riding on a bus to my hotel I saw a poster advertising the stay, at one of the leading theatres, of a celebrated American actress, Mlle. Catherine Luden. I probably would have died of the shock if I hadn't already had so many.

So that night I went to see Catherine. The theatre was crowded; this was due, I was told, to the presence of the officials of the Woman's Progressive Party. Before the show opened the proprietor of the theatre asked the president of this association to say a few words to the audience. There was much applause, and up to the stage walked Nina Bowers. She was calm as usual and seemed to feel at home trying to quiet a noisy crowd.

When Nina had finished speaking she went back to her box. I sent her a note and immediately got a reply asking me to come and sit in her box. I went up-and together we watched Catherine take the leading role of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." She was wonderful, and proclaimed by critics to be the best living actress who had portrayed the part.

Nina and I talked for sometime about her Progressive Party. She said that Mary Spruance was over in Russia doing the same work she was doing in England, but that Mary's work was more difficult because she had the opposition of the "Reds" to contend with.

This brought up the subject of 1930 graduates. She went on to say that Nancy Walker was librarian at the British Museum, and that Esther Wilson was spending a great deal of time there doing work on her new History of England. This certainly was news to me. I wanted to see them, but as I was leaving for Paris the next day I was unable to do so.

The following day I left for Paris. I'd decided to fly over and having been told of an excellent aviation field I started for it. When we got near the field I saw a big sign saying, Pike and Tarbox Aviation Field. I couldn't believe it could be the same Pike and Tarbox I'd known at school, but I remembered their both being

interested in flying then, so I decided to find out. Just as I was walking across the field I saw Helen jump into a plane. I ran and succeeded in reaching her before she took off. I told her I wanted to fly over to Paris, so she called to Pauline and asked her to take me. Pauline and I flew over, she being at ease and I with my heart in my mouth. Pauline had to leave immediately, so we parted at Paris.

On arriving at the hotel I noticed everyone seemed to have his nose buried in a newspaper. Everyone was mumbling in excited tones, yet everyone seemed a little fearful. My curiosity was aroused and although my French wasn't very good, I attempted to wade through an account in the "Journal Franc;ais." Finally I solved the problem-Helen Stange, the idol of Paris, was to drive number 13 in the race that afternoon. The car was doomed they swore, and that a woman should drive it was uncanny. I decided right there to see this race. I got into a cab and arrived at the track just as the cars were lining up for the start. Flags were flying, music playing, and all the elite were present.

Over in one box I noticed a group of people who seemed to be attracting attention. I looked through my glasses and saw Dorothy Drew, Betty Wallis and Eleanor Forbes. Helen waved to them before starting. I made my way down to the box and was received with "hello's" and "gasps." I asked Dot why all the attention was directed toward this box.

"Didn't you know that Eleanor Forbes and Betty Wallis have become famous?" she asked in surprise.

Of course, I didn't know it, so I asked her what they had done. It seems Eleanor was featuring the "Desert Song," and Betty playing in the famous role of Le Medicin.

We soon forgot all our interests in any thing but the race. We all watched intently and soon saw that No. 13 was leading the race. We all yelled excitedly as No. 13 finished that lap as winner. I rushed down to the car, the others following closely behind, to congratulate Helen. She was so tired from driving she hardly seemed surprised to see me. About this time Eleanor and Betty had to return to get ready for the evening's performance. Dottie, Stange and I went back to my hotel. Dot told us she was designing clothes. She asked us to come to her shop and look at the models before we left Paris. This we did the following morning, but the shop was a little too exclusive for us, so we went away without buying anything.

Stange said she wanted to take a trip, so I asked her to come to Germany with me, thinking that as a German student she'd be a big help.

We took a plane from Paris to Berlin much to Helen's delight. We went to a hotel to get rooms, but they were all taken. We were just about to leave the hotel, when we saw a woman walking toward us with darling twins, one on either side of her.

"Ye gods," said Helen aloud, "it's Ruth Rowley."

And that's just who it was. As soon as she saw us, she almost dropped, but after slightly recovering she asked us where we were going. We told her that we hadn't been able to get rooms, so we were going to do the best we could elsewhere. She said she knew the manager quite well because her husband was in Germany especially to sell him gold teeth, and she thought he would be able to get us a room. She did get us rooms, but it was the last we saw of her.

Stange had some friends she wanted to see so she left me. I hadn't anything to do, so I picked up an American scientific magazine and started to read it.

The first item that met my eyes was about a suspension bridge being built across the Rhine. The architect was Jean Flanigen. It mentioned that she was the first woman to have undertaken such a construction. A new method of calculation discovered by Jane Parrott had been used in this operation. Jane, it said, was considered the most brilliant mathematician of the present generation.

Helen came back to the hotel several hours later just bubbling over with news. She had seen Marjorie Wood and Vera Dickensheets in town. Marjorie had a dog farm out in the country where she bred police dogs. Vera was living with her helping as usual to keep things neat, but as a side line she was teaching the frauleins to fix their hair in the Greta Garbo fashion. They had just received a letter from Rhea Betts, who was in Spain, acting as social secretary to a certain Spanish-American gentleman. She also said that she intended to return to the United States soon, and continue her work there. (?) Marjorie told Stange that an epidemic had spread through her kennel, killing about half her dogs.

Anne Edmunds had come to the rescue, she being a famous veterinarian. Anne's home was not in Germany, but she had been visiting just at the crucial moment.

The clerk at the hotel told us to be sure to visit the new Berlin hospital before leaving. So Helen and I packed off to the hospital. As we entered the door there was a list of the doctors posted-with their nationalities beside them. I looked down the list and finally discovered an American by the name of Doctor Davey. We decided to call him and have him show us around, because by this time I'd decided that Helen's German was a little different from Berlin's. We waited for him and finally to our surprise, the he was a she-Dean Davey. After talking to us -a while she surprised us by saying that Nancy Hoffman was a nurse there. We asked if we might see her, but Dean told us she was on a case.

"Oh," said Dean, "I forgot to tell you Janet Parry 1s her patient."

Well it seems Janet was doing some gymnastics on a high bar, and fell, hurting herself rather badly. So Nancy was assigned to the case.

It was time I started on my way home, and Helen had to get back, so we returned to Paris. On the way back Helen told me about a crystal-gazer who lived on t} the Rue de la Paix. We decided to go there and see what the rest of the world was doing. Since I had to return to England the next day, we went at once.

We entered a dark, mystic room. I went first. I was told to look into the crystal and concentrate on one particular person. I happened to wonder what Eleanor Betson was doing. I gazed into the crystal; first I saw a mist, then it cleared, and there was Eleanor in a jungle, around her were dark skinned natives. Finally it dawned on me that this was India, and Eleanor must at last be a miSSIOnary.

Then the crystal clouded. It cleared again and I was in China. What could this mean? Soon I saw it all. There was Edith Straub and Claire Bartholomew teaching a group of Chinese children. The children were just about kindergarten age. This did not make me wonder at all, they were both so interested in teaching ten years ago. Then the crystal clouded again and try as I might I was not able to clear it again.

Then Helen went in. About a half hour later, she came out rather pensively. She told me she had seen Beeb Mills on an Indian reservation. Helen said she seemed to be helping them. It was very easy to her as a kind white goddess to them. She had that quality of calmness so different from their savage instincts, which would place her above them and yet have their admiration.

We left the crystal-gazer's, and started for Helen's hotel. I bought a French magazine to take home with me. Looking through the advertising I saw some beautifully designed silver. Under the picture of it was-K. Fox. I showed it to Helen, and she seemed quite surprised at my ignorance in the matter. It was something every one knew. Of course, all the blue bloods used Fox silver.

"Of course," she said, "you've heard that Dot Humphreys has made quite a name for herself at illustrating." I looked through the advertising and as Helen had said, there was D. Humphreys under some of the illustrations.

Finally we reached the hotel, but since I had only a little time in which to make my train, I said good-bye to Helen and started for good old U. S. A.

I{eturn Prophecy

Entry from my diary, June 6, 1940.

I arrived at Interlaken, Switzerland, early this morning. Bee drove up in her car just as the train pulled into the station. In a paint-smeared smock, her hair blowing all about her face she looked very different from the usually dignified Madame Berthe, the famous designer. Besides creating exquisite gowns for the well-dressed women of Paris and 5th Ave., Bee paints charming pictures. She spends her vacation here every summer, and though she says she rests, I know she works just as hard. She uses the village children as models for delightful studies. They all adore her as children always do and hang around her beautiful mountain lodge most of the time. All day Bee is seriously pursuing her life-work, but in the evening she discards all thoughts of toil and becomes as most people best know her-peppy, vivacious and bubbling over with fun. She is a charming hostess and her lodge is always overflowing with guests. Invitations to her house-parties are sought after eagerly. Tomorrow Bee is going to introduce me to the art of painting a sunrise, so I must now close this entry and get some sleep.

Senior Class Prophecy

BOYS

NEW YORK-that vast metropolis, a world in itself, a universe of human hearts and souls. Bright lights, milling mobs, cries of pleasure, and shouts of anger.

The cold wind fanned my cheek as I pulled the roadster to a standstill a yard in front of the blazing red light. This was my last night in New York for some time to come, as tomorrow I would set forth upon a trip across the continent. I was not sorry; New York was nothing new to me. Ever since I had left Friends' Central ten years ago my home had been New York. And this was my first vacation since leaving school.

The shrill tooting of a horn behind me suddenly brought me to my senses. The light had changed. I pressed down gently upon the accelerator. The car gave a low gasping sigh, then lapsed into silence. It remained stationary while bedlam broke loose. It seemed to my weary ears that the whole world was shouting at me.

"Get out of there, you big bum." Some one in the car behind had come up to me and shouted at me viciously. I clamped my hands over my ears and then with a sigh turned and faced the man who had so thoroughly disturbed me. My frown was suddenly replaced by a smile. It was Von Uffel-the football captain back in those never-forgotten days of lessons, joy and torture.

"Why, hello, Linton," he bellowed, his big chest swelling out. "What are you doing in this big city?"

I scanned his form closely. What a man he was! At school he was a regular power machine, but now he looked like a powerful Greek god as he stood before me, a smile lighting up his handsome features.

"What are you doing here yourself?" I asked him. His smile faded and a scowl crept over his broad forehead.

"Things have gone poorly with me ever since I left Friends' Central. The three years after I left school were spent in experimental work. I tried to invent a process for turning sour milk into extra heavy cream. You re· member Bill Serber, don't you? Well, he's now a chemist, so I had him test out the experiment. The result was that he nearly died. After this failure I settled down to the solid business of piano moving. You see I'm not much of a business man and this was the best I could do. My wife's proud of me any way, so I don't care what people think."

"Will you two fellows get moving?" a voice bellowed above the din. Picking his way gingerly through the mass of stopped cars came a tall, lean policeman. What's doing here? Get moving and quit disturbing the peace of this here city. Why, if it's not Von Uffel and Linton!"

"Bunting!" we shouted in unison. A pleased expression came over the face of Bunting.

"I guess you fellows can't believe it-me an officer of the law and having you in my power. I've been on the force now for well nigh six years, . and am expecting a promotion any day. Do you know whom I caught the other day? Nobody but 'Scarfaced' Liggit, alias the 'Strangler.' This is the biggest haul I ever made.''

"You don't mean Harold Liggit, our old classmate?" asked Von Uffel.

"Oh, no! not him," laughed Bunting. "Harold's a ticket scalper, though I didn't find out till the other night. He sold me two tickets for a show. I took my girl, but the tickets weren't any good so I'm still a bachelor. Wait till I get my hands on Harold! Well, we'll have to get you out of this jam somehow. Traffic has been held up for two blocks.''

Chicago-the roaring, ripping city of guns, gunmen and wine.

A two weeks' jounrney behind me lay New York.

I pressed down hard upon the accelerator and the car leaped forward, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes.

"This is an uninteresting city," I thought to myself. "I haven't seen or heard the sound of a gun all day. I thought that this city was rough, tough and nasty.''

A bullet spat against the windshield. "I'm wrong," I said aloud. "You're darn right your wrong," a voice whispered in my ear. I turned my head and glanced into the muzzle of an evil looking shotgun.

"Turn around and steer that car straight ahead and hit her up to seventy. No tricks now, or I'll plug you!" the voice hissed.

The night wind was cold, biting, nipping. Not a car was in sight. The nudge of the gun drove me to greater speed. Seventy, seventy-five, eighty. "Turn right at the next crossing!" the voice growled.

I slowed up in order to make the turn without overturning. Two bright lights suddenly appeared and dazzled me. A crash, a growl from the back seatthen darkness.

rA thick fog seemed to envelop . me. My head throbbed. Where was I? With a groan I opened my eyes. A man dressed in white was bending over me. "DeLancey!" I cried.

"Dr. DeLancey, if you please, but how did you happen to know me?" He bent over closer.

Two days later I was seated in a rolling chair. Dr. DeLancey was beside me, his huge form sprawled out on the chair.

"Is the other fellow hurt?" I asked.

Dr. DeLancey laughed. "Oh, no, he got off without a scratch, but the gangster you had in the back seat was knocked unconscious. He was none other than the notorious Scar Face Al Capone himself."

For two hours we sat and talked. De Lancey was a wonderful talker and he told me what most of our old classmates were doing.

Kavanagh had become famous by winning the Pocket Billiard Championship from Ralph Greenleaf.

Billy Mason invented a patent chewing gum for stenogs. The gum is said to be noiseless.

Sample owned a pretzel factory and was growing fatter and fatter.

Stern and Kirchhofer were exploring in the Indian Ocean for a smaller species of parameciums. They were wrecked on a cannibal island. Stern's charming manher won the affection of the cannibal queen. Thus by Stern's diplomacy they were kept off the king's dinner plate. They escaped from the island just in time, though, for the queen was hungry and her feeling for Stern was warping as the time went on.

Stanhope was in Hawaii-owning a pineapple grove.

Walker married and had five children. He was a successful druggist.

Scarborough was teaching school out in New Hampshire. He specialized m Chemistry and Physics.

Larry Felton was an onion salesman while Harry Felton invented just the right way to roast a duck, and is now so rich that he tosses coins out of his pockets as he walks along the streets.

Whitesell grew a beard, looked distinguished, and retired. He made his money by his invention of ripless cloth.

Hires was an author-he wrote animal and fairy tales to amuse the children.

Brown was a tight-rope walker in the circus while Hoffman was striving hard for recognition in the political world. He was a Prohibitionist.

"Stew" Mason fought his way to a bout with the middle-weight Champion and then proceeded to knock him out in the round

Dr. DeLancey yawned and slowly arose. "I must go and look after some of my patients. You'll be out of here in a couple of days. On Tuesday night I'll show you some of the Chicago night life."

Midnight at the Club Converge, and Dr. DeLancey, most genial in manner, w'as pomting out the notables. At one A. M. you could hear the guffaws of the crowd even above the rhythmic wailing of the band. It was then that the big feature of the evening was presented-Frank Moore and his chorus of dancing girls. I looked at DeLancey. "That's Frank all right," he said. Back and forth, moving with the litheness and grace of a panther, went Frank1 followed closely by the dancing chorus of girls.

- '')u""' GonL•" California-the land of gold and romance. Across lthe continent lay Chicago and New York, those two cities where I had spent so many pleasant days and nights.

California was not without people I knew, for there I met Biggs, Clement, Eagan and Earle.

Biggs was a great lawyer. His success lay in the fact that he talked until his adversary fell asleep.

Clement was a tailor. I went to him to have my suit pressed. The result was one scorched suit.

Eagan was a dentist. On his door was a sign reading "Painless." I doubt it, though, for when I passed by, the groaning of a patient sent a chill up my back. Earle was a florist. He made a mint by combining pansies with golden rod.

"Time to get up!" I heard a voice yell in my ear. "You're late for work now. The hotcakes are waiting to be flipped." I yawned and wearily opened my eyes. That fatal word hotcakes was enough for me. Just a dream. No such luck as a trip across the continent after all. The hotcakes saw to that.

CHARLES J. LINTON.

TASHIN(iT ''

Monday:-The first day of a vacation from school and we had to be up and out early; but it wasn't much of a hardship, and all twenty-two, including Mr_ and Mrs. Crouch, were there when it came time for us to start; that is, all but "Mary, the movie-fiend," who had to get a magazine and almost held up the schedule. The attending group of parents parted with their offspring after much solicitous advice and we were on our way. As a model Washington trip we started off true to form in that we had the usual romance and soon got well acquainted with our chaperones. Hunger, as is its wont, soon overtook many of us and we "fell to" only to find that the "nuts" were no more than down than we had arrived at our journey's end. You would be surprised and scarcely believe some of the incidents that conclusively proved that we had a celebrity in our midst. As soon as we reached Washington the bus driver hailed Mr. Crouch as an old friend and he even disdained to ride in the same bus with us to the hotel.

Our impressions of the hotel were favorable, if hurried, for we only unpacked and then rushed out to our first rubberneck trip. The trip included Arlington and all the intermediate points of call, the Zoo, Embassies, and National Cathedral, an eye-full for one afternoon. It was some time before a few qf us could decide as to whether we liked the left or right side of the bus best, much to the discomfort of "The Two" but they weathered all storms, right or left.

Back to the hotel to rest, we had already done so much, and then dinner. Meekly I ask, "What did we eat?" But then, we all feel that that is a mystery for 1931 to solve. Would you really believe that they listen to "Amos 'n Andy" in Washington if there were not twenty-two witnesses to the fact? Hardly had such noble entertainment finished when from another quarter some of us were again amused. This time two "happy" men tried to string us, imagine that, and make us believe that we had a remarkable basketball player at F. C. S. Someone is under a bushel! Imagine our surprise when we boarded street cars and found ourselves in the Congressional Library instead of the theatre. But we one and all

agreed that it made little difference, for the many points of interest in the Library failed to penetrate the coma we all were in. Parenthetical may I here record that a remarkable itching of all concerned took place that night and it is attributed to the afternoon's visit to the homes of our ancestors. On the way home three of our six men procured canes and added tone to the party.

Tuesday:-The phone rang from 7.30 until 7.45 in at least two rooms and the few who could gather together one or two of their senses at that time of night had breakfast in their rooms. Finally we all dressed and appeared downstairs, the usual few late again. The whole morning was taken up by a trip to Alexandria and Mt. Vernon as the weather was clear. At these places we learned many historical facts, among them that since both Mt. Vernon and the Lodge at Alexandria have a framed key to the Bastille there must be two keys to the same door or two doors. Smart? No, for actually there are no doors now. Also the discovery was made at Mt. Vernon that "Tokie" is twins; look for yourself. The big romance continued to thrive as we took "peeps" at the surrounding scenery on our way back to the big city for "food," meat and peaches and various other things. In the afternoon we put on the "dog" and went to the Art Gallery in taxis. While we were taking some art outdoors the men of the party appeared in the latest spring fashions and added to the artistic effect. From the gallery we went to the Pan-American Building and learned an item for the "believe-it-or-not" column, for we met a man, living, who could speak any of the South American languages including the Indian dialects and admitted it, right frank like, too. Then a few of us went shopping while the others went back to the hotel to rest. They never succeeded, for the excitement was too great over the arrival of some royalty in a horsedrawn carriage, who later turned out to be members of our own party. Then came dinner, a most instructive meal, for during it we learned how to cut soup but never fully mastered the meat. Was that succotash we had? There followed a free evening during which we went our separate ways, most of which led to the movies, taken in doses of two when necessary. Again we sought bed late after attempting to fill that cavity enlarged since the last meal, and hoping to lose in our dreams the ignominy of having been so badly taken in by mere photographers. But morning showed that we were the ones who "looked at the birdie."

Wednesday:- This morning something dreadful happened and the telephone didn't ring till awfully late, 8 o'clock! In style we soon proceeded to give the Capitol a treat, arriving in trolley cars sucking life-savers. There wasn't much we missed; why, we even climbed to the dome to see the view. You would think that by now Washington doctors would have done something about the shaky-knee ailment. They say the monument is higher! For a rest we went to the Senate, where with one accord they agreed that American Eagles should be killed when they cause damage, and mind you there were at least two Senators there. Really quite a momentous decision too, and we do not doubt that every onlooker agreed

with them. From there we traveled to the House where· there's no doubt bui: that they were right about it all, whatever it was, and so back to the Hotel, where we had, "Oh, Oh, m- and p--." At this point in our travels Marjorie Wood left us and the Ludens filled the gap.

We soon started out again for the museum but found the animals too life-like, so we departed to the Smithsonian Institute and felt the need of Helen ·Pike. ' Exhausted with information we proceeded home in pursuit of a delicious· dinner served in a most prepossessing style.

Then came the big treat, the theatre, where we were so pleased with "Holliday" in every respect that we kept quiet. The Ludens swelled our number and made us into quite a presentable party.

Thursday:-We were all getting used to the late rising by that time and learning to enjoy it. For the first time we had rain btit proceeded in the face of it to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Really, there ought to · be enough money to go around! From there to the high spot of the trip, the Washington Monument. Shall we ever forget it, we who have braved its steps, the· ones that go up and the ones that come down? Speaking personally, it took my legs four days to pass the first stages of forgetfulness. Thence we staggered to the White House to be confronted with a flight of steps, just a flight but as hard as the whole monument to climb. When we arrived back at the Hotel they had hired a new cook and that was a repast, no sarcasm this time. Some of our number left right after lunch to drive to the home town; sadly they left, thinking of the new cook, but they were wise. Lunch turned out to be a mere gesture and dinner was true to form. The rest had a free afternoon and used it in various ways. Many were the "having a lovely time" postals we wrote.

"All aboard!" for the last time, with two of the party particularly tired. A much wiser crowd of young people came back to Philadelphia. Even ·Mr. and Mrs. Crouch were wiser for they certainly were one with us and that's a complete education in itself when F. C. S. goes to Washington.

Valedictory

"IKEEP my friendships constantly in repair," said the great Dr. Samuel Johnson.

How did Johnson "keep his friendships in repair?" One way was by his actions toward them and another way was by reciprocal relations with them. No matter what he got from his friends he was able to return to them something of equal or greater value. In this way, he was always · able to keep his friends around him in spite of the many times he insulted or injured them.

When one considers the wide variety of Johnson's friends and that each was a leader in his line, it is easy to see that reciprocal relations were necessary to make all these men remain friendly to him. Edmund Burke was a great politician; David Garrick was a great actor; Reynolds was a great portrait painter. To keep his friendships with these men, who were masters in lines about which he knew nothing, Johnson must have given them something of great value. However, he remembered these men longer than any of the men who helped him more definitely than they.

Dr. Johnson's statement in itself has nothing to do with us at the present day. However, the idea of reciprocal relations may mean a great deal. Nothing in the present day is of any lasting value unless there is benefit in it for all concerned. Class-day and Commencement are generally days of looking back over the days of the past four years and lamenting over the fact that they will soon be forgotten. However, if our relations with our school, schoolmates and schoolmasters have been true reciprocal relations the valuable things will remain indelibly in our memories forever even though we say goodbye to the physical part of Friends' Central School.
