FOREWORD

FOREWORD is a rather impressive name to apply to this introduction. After all, though the things which I shall say have been said in countless other year books and are by this time cliches, the feeling behind them is new to each graduating class. And so we want to express the sorrow we feel in separating from our friends and in leaving the school where we have had so many happy experiences; and, even though weregret to leave, we cannot help hearing the call of the world which challenges all youth.

The REcORD BooK which we are presenting is really to be our memorial. Long after we have been separated and scattered over the country, if not the world, this book will remain as a symbol of our class. We, like all mortals, have desired to erect a monument as high and imposing as possible. Perhaps the result does not fulfil our rosiest dreams, but we have done our best. Who shall dare to measure or condemn our efforts? With this last gesture of our high school life we ask your final favor and good will. And through this medium of our REcORD BooK, we wish to express our farewell and good wishes to all our associates in Friends' Central School. EDITOR.

"Laughter riding on a whirlwind."

Whenever you feel blue get in touch with Betty for she is the one who keeps the crowd in good spirits. And who could forget the day in Health Ed, ucation class when she inquired about Mythitha?

Winners '1\eceive Lilies

The entire school is astounded and amaz;ed at the results of the variety contest recently held in the Senior Class. The contestants who were all the boys and girls of the Senior Class, and also the judges who were all the girls and boys of the Senior Class have aged 10 years through anxiety and thought. The contestants bit fingernails off in rapid succession, awaiting the results, which have not been published until now. The judges tore their hair out, as it grew grey, while they were trying to think hard enough to decide on the winners. Lilies were to have been given out to the winners, but unfortunately, no one remembered them, so there were none to distribute. This contest was to determine the who's who of the Senior Class. The who of "who's who" is listed below in each case, with the fortunate contestant's name beside it.

SALUTATION

ADIES AND GENTLEMEN, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all, in the name of the Class of 1933, to our Class Day Exercises. This afternoon is our last meeting as a class, for tomorrow we reach the goal toward which we long have been striving. As we have worked and played together, a great bond of friendship has grown up among us, making us comrades in all our endeavors.

Tradition decrees that Class Day shall be a parting gesture to old Friends' Central. Today we turn to the lighter side of our school life. If our fun and humor seem too hilarious, we beg you to be lenient in your judgment. Tomorrow, I have no doubt, if you attend our Commencement Exercises, as we invite you all to do, you will find us much more ser{ous, displaying the dignity proper to the members of a Senior Class. It is our hope that you will remember your own Class Day and join with us in our last fling at Friends' Central School. ELIZABETH BoYcE.

BOY,S CLASS HISTORY

LAST we have reached the goal toward which we have been striving since early childhood. And it is with a great deal of satisfaction that we realize that our task is done and feel within us the sense of accomplishment that Graduation

brings. It is inevitable that in the thrill which all of us must experience in this event which marks a milestone in our lives, we should also be conscious of the network of experiences which have laid the foundation for this Commencement. Many of these experiences, though unimportant, are still fresh in our memories. How well we recall Mr. Crouch's "penny-auctions." If ever any of us disturbed the class with such innumerable trinkets as tops, marbles, rubber bands, harmonicas, or slingshots, we were sure to see them once again on sale at the auction. The following year ~as noteworthy for its numerous trips sponsored by our home' room teacher, Mr. Tobias. We visited Philadelphia's botanical gardens, Aquarium, and Zoo; later we journeyed to New York and ended a most enjoyable year with an ornithological expedition to Cape May The Sophomore year is memorable because of the Prom we gave then. only Sophomores' in Friends' Central's history ever to do so.

We were the

The Junior year, under Mr. Scull's guidance, was a quiet one. But the Senior year was the most eventful of all. It was a year of conferences, trips, discussions, dances and, inr:identally, hard work. Many of the more religiously inclined members of the class attended the Buck Hill Falls Conference. We gave a series of biweekly dances which proved quite as successful as they were enjoyable. We invited interesting speakers to attend weekly tea-discussions in which many of us participated. And to conclude this never-to-be-forgotten year was the Washington Trip. Those of us who made the trip will testify that the pleasure and profit of it will live with us forever. But in reminiscing there is a deeper, finer satisfaction in recalling the abstract privileges that Friends' Central has afforded us. With the joy of Graduation, there is ming\ed the feeling of deep gratitude we owe the school for the vital part it has played in our cultural development and in the moulding of our character. Not only has Friends' Central meant so much to our cultural development but, with the years of constant association in the classes which paved the way to Graduation, we have had the opportunity to form friendships and ties which all of us will cherish. As we part now with the goal of graduation achieved, recollecting past experiences and anticipating future careers, we acknowledge a debt of everlasting gratitude to Friends' Central. STANLEY SMOLENS.

GIRLS, CLASS HISTORY

HE pride with which we entered the huge gray-stone building of the Upper School in September of 1927 was deflated by the spectacle of congregations of those our seniors by many years wandering through dark, mysterious hallways. Those first few weeks seemed like the dark ages, but gradually we found out what it was all about. We made our debut among balloons and paper hats at a party given us by the D Class, who assumed the duty of initiating us into the school activities. The main event of the next year was the trip to Gettysburg, chaperoned by Miss Day, our home-room teacher. We will never forget those days brimming over with excitement and nights of feeds and more excitement. Another memory is the pursuit of that profound study termed "Social Studies," when we lived in the dread of having to attend afternoon sessions. The pride and joy of our Freshman year was our rings. These were the result of much consultation and argument in meeting after meeting of the Ring Committee. However, we took greater pride in giving the first, and incidentally, the last Sophomore dance. It was held in the main building and seemed at the time unexcelled. But the next year, having learned a little more in that line, we gave a really successful Junior Prom at the new Aronomic, with its out-door dance floor and colored spot lights. The effect was so lasting that there was no thought of another prom until February of our Senior year rolled around and we found it necessary to get busy again. The outcome of our planning and endeavor to sell the required number of tickets was amaz;ingly good . The dance was held at Hotel Pennsylvania, and our joy at unexpectedly profiting in the financial line brought about a feeling of wealth in spite of conditions; and quite a number signed up for the Washington trip conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Crouch. Amid the bustle and enthusiasm, we saw and did the usual, but nevertheless thrilling, things; from Mt. Vernon to the Washington Monument. We concluded that no class could, or ever would, have as delightful an adventure. The first thoughts of having to leave dear old F. C. came with the luncheon that the rest of the girls in the school gave us. The delicious food was served by the Juniors and we experienced a mingled feeling of superiority and regret; superior in being seniors but regretfully realiz;ing that we were so soon to leave. And as time for graduation draws near, we smile, and perhaps count the days, but nevertheless brush away a reluctant tear. MARY wALLIS, VIRGINIA CoLviLLE,

VALEDICTORY

T HAS been said, "Happy is that people which has no history." If that is true, the Class of '33 cannot be supremely happy. True, we tried not to make history, but the effort was vain. During our school days we have engaged in many activities, both good and bad. As a class we have been a success and we are proud of our record. None of us lacked ability ; very few of us were lazy. We have been a studious class. When we studied Algebra some of us got so deeply interested that we repeated the course, a second and even a third time. And others of us so greatly regretted the day that we had to say farewell to Chemistry that we failed the examination. We have been athletic. Our class has been represented in every athletic eventinthe past four years. We have been musical. We have sung in the Glee Club and played in the Orchestra. We have been dramatic. Never a play, never a Christmas Cantata, never a League of Nations presentation, but that 1933 had its quota among the players. The school has prospered under us. Likewise it would be foolish not to admit that we have received lasting and substantial benefits from the schoo1 • In this connection it might be well to add that our souls have endured some various and excruciating agonies in the process of acquiring these benefits. For example, the faculty- at the last moment aware of our brilliance, our genius, and our opinions- respectfully, but firmly, solicited from each of us a piece of · original research work which should be a contribution to human knowledge. We have profited by the instruction of our teachers; we have listened to the advice of our elders. We have kept in the middle of the road, avoiding the thistles of embarrassment on the one side and the stones of failure on the other. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be a student at Friends' Central. In other days we shall recall this beautiful campus and this dignified, stately building over the threshold of which we are now stepping out to meet new demands. For some of us it is a step in the dark, for others it is but a further step into fields already prepared for us. When we pass from this stage we shall no longer be leaders; we shall no longer set the example for lower classes to follow. Upon the class of 1934 we lay this responsibility for carrying on the high ideals and the established traditions of our school- a school known for its high aspirations and its honorable achievements. A nd now we must say farewell to our Faculty and our Headmaster. For four years we have been longing for the day when we might say goodbye to school and lessons. But today, way down in each of our hearts there is a very lonely little corner, for there is a bit of pathos in doing anything for the very last time. We stand here today as representatives of a fine, clean school. We have learned that whatever we have put into our school, we have taken back with compound interest. To our conscientious Headmaster and our splendid Faculty we would pay this tribute, that they have regarded their work as accomplished only when they have in-

Page 79

FRIENDS' CENTRAL SCHOOL

culcated in us the idea of the right thing to do. Manfully they have labored to develop character in us, and, after all is said and done, character is "You,"- the quality that determines whether you succeed or whether you fail. Patiently these instructors have led us over the ragged paths of learning, helping us to bring the fragments together until at last they have felt able to say to us, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." And now we say to these loyal men and women of our Faculty- "Ye are the salt of the earth." Farewell! Classmates! Father Time has passed the last milestone in our high school course. The dream of our childhood is reali:z,ed. In but a few more moments we shall be dispersed and we shall be scattered to the four corners of this earth. "Your ship goes east and mine goes West By the self-same wind that blows, 'Tis the set of the sails and not the gales That determines which way it should go." We have spent pleasant years together here,-years of work, of friendly rivalry, of comradeship. Some have formed friendships that will last while life endures. Others are as "ships that pass in the night and speak to each other in passing." Let us in parting resolve to be true to the ideals of our school. Today we pause for a while on the journey of life to receive a last friendly pat on the back for work well-done; and a word of encouragement for the future. And for that future I can think of no more fitting words to apply to it than these : "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be." WILLIAM

And now with a tribute to fleet '33 I'll tell each ship her destiny. The good ship "iBaur's" destiny is on Germany's shore, seeking her knowledge at a foreign door. O ur pleasant "Jean" will sail the seas of Happiness. The versatile "Sherm" will be pleasure gliding on Unknown seas. We see the "%erry Veb" venturing into the sea of Sports. "Fry" a merriment raft with friends galore will race and dance toward a Carefree Shore. The frigate "Higgins" with dogmatic ways will be FRY grinding over opposing waves. And the future shows the schooner '.'%in~" fencing her way through ambiguous waters. The submarine duo" Crofoot" and "Syc~elmore" will be slipping along in deep seas. The subdued "Connie" will be in the lead "Vowning" all others to reach Port "Charles." "Waterer," this ship is our pride and will be among the first to become a bride. MINK The reliable "%urry" will "Ph ill-up" her decks with a cargo of knowledge .. Deep in the gazing ball the stable ship "Chapman" is heading the RECORD towards the sea of Success. "Laurance" and "Stichler", the inseparable ships, will sail the high waves of learning. "Stewart," "Sail on," is the motto of this ship, may she have good luck upon her trip. We see the disputing armored cruiser "Sterling" conferring on the Social Service seas. "Wallis," a colorful boat; she'll be ever content and free. The "Wright" vessel is "Ben"-t towards library depths. "iBusch" will be ever searching with expectant eyes, for a plane descending from out the blue skies. "Vavis," our tiny raft, will be on waters cool, finding her fun in a pleasure pool. The excursion yacht "!()u~e" we see being knocked DUKE about by life's stormy billows.

"Wilson," the trans-Atlantic me'ody liner will take her "Doc" in foreign lands. · "Zearfaus," a newcomer in our sea, her future is yet unknown to me. WILSON "N.ofer," a ship dark and sleek, whose wit will serve as a sail in reaching life's peak. "Pflaumer," a mystery ship, loving and beloved, will be moored on quiet shores of contentment. We see our red "IJ3ird" drawing first place in the harbor of Art. The steadfast "%ertz" we sight plying; the smaller ships on her relying. Our little tug "IJ3ec~er" with might and main, pulling toward journalistic fame. The traveling "Christman" dangerously flirting with the rocky New Jersey shore. The "IJ3etty Smith," another surf boat bounding through the spray, will face life in a carefree way . "!_Ramey" amd "!_Raney," the sister steamships will puff BECKER their loquacious way, down a channel, into Boasting Bay. We see "Wilcox," our tippy canoe skimming "Orland" and sea, peddling her jokes with laughter and glee.

The smooth sailing vessel "%endenhall," a life-guard to her side she will call. The twin ships "Colville" and "Flounders" will ride carefree seas. The ship "IJ3owen" takes equally well good and bad breaks, she will find her fortune in tranquillity lakes. "%athay" will sail a languid sea, it is her fate ever popular to be. The ship "IJ3oyd" will find a life different and new, as she sails from these choppy waves others APPLE of blue. The "Spearmint Krafft," slender and slight, we see dancing on silvery waves into the night. "Apple," the fruit boat is heading toward the Isle of Diet. The faithful skiff "Hipple" will be convoy of the "%argoff" fleet on the smooth sea of tranquillity. The surf boat "%eyers" will be heading toward sunny California's western shore.

The "Stout" ship with help of destiny and fates, will have her helm guided to golden "Gates."

BOYS, CLASS PROPHECY

ELL, Ed, tonight is the night of our class reunion. See if you can pick up the United States on the radio. Perhaps we can hear the speeches." 'Tll try, Parkey. I confess I am tired of Africa. I wish we hadn't come on this foolish trip. We are missing our one chance of seeing our friends after ten years of separation." "I think I hear music! If we can get Station F. C. S. we ought to hear something in, teresting." Silence . . . static . . . then a voice heard: "This is Station F. C. S. broad, casting the Alumni Banquet of the Class of 1933, from the dining,room of Friends' Central School, Overbrook, Pennsylvania. You will now hear from the toastmaster." A few minutes of silence, then: "I am sure we are all happy to be together again after all these years. I shall now introduce to you your old classmates who have become almost strangers. Will you kindly rise as I mention your names?" " We're in luck, tonight, Ed. Now we shall hear what has become of all our class." "I am sure you will be glad to welcome back our President, Turnbull," continued the voice. "Bill took up electrical engineering in college, but the field was limited and he is now doing his stuff as an engineer on the 20th Century Limited. "Stan Smolens, who has recently been elected to the House of Representatives, just completed a twelve,day filibuster, breaking all records. Stan always had a way of gaining his point. "Dr. Downham gives excellent advice to sleep,walkers. He advises that they take carfare to bed with them. "Frank Gatling recently won the antique Automobile Derby. He drove an 18,year-old Durant that came out about 1925. "Eddie Linton has opened a chain of restaurants rivaling his father's. In the window of any of his restaurants can be seen the sign, 'All you can eat and any hat that fits you for 60 cents.'

"Bill Pole has become nationally known as the head of The Trans• continental Bus Route. Bill got his idea in the old days when his car was the only means of transportation for the Jersey boys to and from school. "Gunther Ibbeken is frequently seen on the stage--cleaning up after . the show. "It took Byron Edgerton six years to get through college. The English• professor caught on to Byron's tricks from the beginning. However, Byron is now an accomplished race driver. "Carl Wilbur, the famous futuristic painter, began his career in French class at Friends' Central writing French themes with one hand and drawing with the other. "George Orr is now the world's champion outboard motorboat racer. His record speed is 78.9 miles per hour. George makes all his boats just like he did back in school. "Skeets M ason's picture may be seen on many billboards throughout the country. It is used as an advertisement for the Wonder Soap and Skin Cream Company. Beneath his picture is written, 'Keep that schoolboy complexion.' Skeets makes an excellent advertisement, as they get his picture while he is blushing. "Bert Fulton still has the girls running after him. They don't give him a minute. We wonder if Bert has the same line. "Sunny Spruance has started the world with a new invention. It is an airplane and automobile combined. When flying, the wings flap like those of a bird, when on the ground, the wings fold back and it is a beautiful automobile. With this machine Sunny has shattered all speed records from coast to coast. Sunny never did have any competition as far as speed was concerned. "Joe Dunbar is studying foreign trade- from a cattle boat. "Parker Naudain, who has settled down to a married life is making millions in the poultry business. Parker started in the poultry business about five years ago on a small deal. One day he ran out of his chicken food and fed the chickens some of his wife's home• made bread. When the chickens laid eggs he found them to be unbreakable. This was a great discovery, but Parker wasn't content. He soon bored a hole in each egg and placed a cork in the end. You now open unbreakable eggs by pulling out a cork. What a man and what eggs! "Artie Greims has become a painless dentist. His slogan is, 'Be true to your teeth or they'll be false to you.' "Joel Loeb is just back from Paris after a two-years' stay. He says he was studying French. We may as well take his word for it. "Bill Cruger is a columnist on a New York newspaper. He has a program on the radio twice a week. Bill's job is to spread news about people. He sees all, hears all, knows all, and tells all. "Arthur Post is in the sugar business down south. The latest report is that Posty is raising cane. "Primo Donno, the new heavyweight boxing champion, has Joe Ellis to thank for his success. Joe is his manager and has helped Primo in every way since he came to America. Joe, as we all know, acquires his managerial experience back at good old F. C. S. "Bob Richards made a special effort to be with us tonight. Bob has been

in Hollywood taking leading parts in several pictures. Judging by the speed he is now making, he should become a second Rudolph Valentino or Clark Gable. "Jack Hinkle is now living in Kansas. Five years ago Jack graduated from the college of the Ozarks. He started college with the idea of studying for the ministry, but he soon gave it up. Jack is now doing a very prosperous business manufacturing shovels. He has no trouble sellingthem,for his neighbors for miles around find a great need for them. """""• "Jim Gilland is a real estate agent. He tries to convince people that they can live in New Jersey and still be happy. "Joe Riley is busily employed watering the horses on the merry-go-round at Woodside Park. "Bill Yerger is now teaching home economics. Bill always said he was going to be a bachelor and do all his own cooking, sewing, etc. "There are only two of our old classmates missing tonight, Ed Harding and Orland Parke. They are both in the wilds of Africa. Parkey is on his vacation, and Ed is the newspaper correspondent keeping tabs on his every move. The world is always anxious to know what its important men are doing. "Now I think we would like to hear a few words from each . . . " static . . . then silence. "Oh, we've lost them, Ed. I can't pick them up again either. Oh, well, we were lucky to hear that much. It was the next best thing to being there in person." ORLAND

It was started in 1932 by several boys in the Junior Class, who have since continued it. Mr. Gracey is the faculty adviser and there are reporters from every class. In addition to the usual four-page paper, there have been gala editions, as the Alumni edition, when an entire sheet was added and given over to Alumni News. This paper has been very valuable during the past year in uniting the school more closely.

C('3HE Dramatic Club, directed by Mrs. Flick, is one of the most select organi2;a, tions in the school. Those who have acted exceptionally well in a play or a per, formance before the school, or who have done much to aid the staging of a play are discussed and their admittance to the club voted on by the members. If they are accepted, a formal invitation to become members is sent to them. Before the close of the school for the Christmas Holidays, 1932, the Dramatic Club produced, under Mrs. Flick's direction, " A Shepherd's Pipe Is Little Enough." At the end of April, 1933, the spring performance was given. This was, "The Trysting Place," a one,act play by Booth Tarkington.

After this initial drive the monthly dues are carefully budgeted and distributed to the American Friends' Service Committee for the use of the children of the West Virginia miners, to the College Settlement of Philadelphia, and to the Children's Aid Society of Montgomery County. Groups of students have visited the College Settlement, the Farm School, and the home in which the Children's Aid has placed one of our small protegees. Worn clothing is collected and distributed; the Sewing classes have made many new garments for children.

The school must fulfill certain requirements, such as: a stable financial backing, an excellent faculty, and a definite number of students entering college yearly and there achieving success, to become a branch of the society. The Friends' Central School chapter was established in 1928. The 1933 recipients of the award have accepted it as a challenge to do even better work in college.

ATHLETIC HISTORY

N FRIENDS' CENTRAL'S HALL OF FAME, the girls of '33 have taken many honors, most of them in hockey. Ever since "C" year we have been represented on the varsity eleven. In "C" class Sherm Colwell alone held the banner for '33. In "B" class Marie, "Fry," and "Minkie" helped her out. When we got to "A" class Peggy Higgins and " Debbie" joined the list and in our Senior year Betty Boyce played. One of our most outstanding players, "Minkie," made the All-Scholastic team for two years. Congratulations, Minkie! In "A" class Jane Fry was captain of the reserve All-Scholastic. In our Senior year F. C. S. placed five girls on the Central Division team . All of them were from our class, Ginny Mertz, Sherm Colwell, Annette Mink, Peggy Higgins and Debbie Fenton. When we were in "C" class the girls first organized a varsity baseball team. Many of our class held places on the team that year and have held them ever since. The crowning glory of our baseball career was the fact that we won the class championship in our "D" year. Much credit is due the strong battery we had, Ginny Mertz and Sherm Colwell. As for basketball, our girls have been right in there. In our Freshman and Sophomore years Sherm again did the honors for the class alone, although several were first team. ".subs." In our Junior year Mary Lawrance, Jane Fry, Annette Mink, and Debbie Fenton helped out Sherm in representing '33. When we came out of our last basketball season, Peggy Higgins and Ginny Mertz had joined the first team. In the way of intramural honors, we won the class championship when we were Sophomores. Many of our girls have held sway on the tennis courts. They won plenty of matches but just haven't found the championship yet. Here's your Senior chances, Mary Wallis, Louise Wright, Ginny Colville and Mildred Krafft. In our Junior year the captains of the three varsity teams were from our class. HockeyAnnette Mink; baseball- Ginny Mertz; basketball-Debbie Fenton. Likewise in our Senior year the varsity captains were from our class. Hockey-Jane Fry; lacrosse-Ginny Mertz; basketball- Debbie Fenton. Lacrosse is becoming more and more popular and so we have developed it into a major varsity sport. DEBBIE FENTON.
