MARJORIE FRANCES DICKINSON MORRIS AND WARWICK ROADS, WYNNEWOOD,

PA.

"Marge"

"Poplflar, pretty and peppy." "Popular, pretty and peppy" just describes Marge. She's all three and then some. And to add to all that, look at her Jist of class teams. The grand success of our Junior dance was partly due to Marge, too. She and (Jemie are the best dancing team at lunch time, and in other words, Marge is one of our favorites. Entered C. 0 fficeJ: Treasurer, Senior; Social Committee, A. TeamJ: Class Hockey, C, B, A; Class Basketball, C, B, A. ClubJ: Service. Next Year: Miss Illman's.

ROBERT CHARLES ENGLISH 234 OXFORD ROAD, BROOKLINE, PA.

"Bob" "He deserves praise who does 110t what he may, bttt what he ought." Bob is one boy who has come in from the farm and found success. He has accomplished the great feat of becoming proficient in sports, being recognized as one of the best soccermen in the League, and at the same time holding the faculty "beants" over his scholastic ability. Such brilliance cannot and will not go unrewarded. Also, if we can turn his conversation from apples to topics of more universal interest, we predict great renown as an orator. Entered F. 0 ffices: Vice-President of Athletic Council in E Class, President of D Class, President of Student Council Senior Class. Next Year: Oberlin College.

NANCY BYRAM FISHBURN 124 WEST LANCASTER AVENUE, WAYNE, PA.

"Nancy''

" Her voice was low, gentle and soft, an excellent thing in woman." Nancy has the distinction of being the only girl in history who jumped from the Sophomore to the Senior class. And as if that weren't enough, she stepped right into prominence in class affairs. Her newspaper work is particularly outstanding, but best of all is her ability in singing, speaking and acting. Entered H. Offices: Managing Editor Friends' Central News, Senior ; Reporter, B; Student Council, C; Athletic Council , D. T eams: (:lass Hockey, C, D; Class Basketball, D, C; Class Tennis, D , C, B.

MARY CAMERON FORNESS 3750 WOODLAND AVENUE, DREXEL HILL, PA.

"Carnie"

" Books are her every passion and delight. " Books! Novels, history books, plays, library books, any books! Carnie is rarely seen when she isn't reading, and consequently she is above most of us in marks, since she takes in every word and uses it. Her acting is another enviable thing about her. We'll always remember her good work in our Senior play. Entered C. Offices: Library Committee, C. Clu bs : Dramatic, Service. Plays : " A Hot Day." N ext Y ear: Duke University.

MARJORIE ORMSBY FRAIN 7120 HILLTOP ROAD , BYWOOD, PA.

S. people are like Margie, give us some more! Entered Senior. Clu bs : Service. N ext Y ear: Unknown.

ROBERT L. GARDNER 3 25 NORTH BOWMAN AVENUE, MERION, PA .

"Bob" "A great devotee of the Gospel of Getting On." Bob, at least to our knowledge, is one of those quiet fellows about whom we never get to know much . His entry in the Senior year, his love of Tennis and his aspirations regarding Duke University, are a few of the things we do know about him . We also suspect that there will be many a long face in the Junior Class on graduation day. Entered Senior. T eams : Tennis . N ext Y ear: Duke.

FRANK PRENTICE GATLING, JR. 805

FOULKROD

STREET,

FRANKFORD,

PA .

"Gat, "Frankie, "A joke is a serious thing." "Gat" is one of the Friends' Central retainers, his terrible puns being a part of campus life ever since fifth grade. As a member of the Gatling-Mason 0 . P. A. Room Wrecking Crew, Frank can be seen doing his stuff any rainy lunch period. When Frank disposed of the old car Friends' Central lost a landmark, but I suppose we must give way to progress.

Teams: Football, Senior; Basketball , B, A, Senior; Baseball, B, A, Senior. Next Year: Undecided.

EDWARD W. GIVENS ABINGTON, PA.

"Gibby'' "Eddie, " I am a part of all that I have met." Although we hold Eddie's late arrival at Friends' Central slightly against him, I believe we all join in saying that outside of this one point we know of nothing and can think of nothing about which to criticize him. Gibby is one of the most likable chaps we have ever known and he always has time to say something pleasant to everyone. One must also mention him as the other half of that "GivensLane" football combination. W e all wish Gibby lots of success at Princeton next year. Entered Senior. Teams: Football, Basketball . Next Year: Princeton or Mi chigan.

JOHN GOLDSMITH 645 MERION AVENUE, PENFIELD , PA.

"Salisbury" "b zanis verbomm to1·rens." " An unmeaning torrent of words." Goldsmith entered school in the eighth grade. His interests are diversified. Besides being a member of the 1933 soccer team, he is an excellent artist. His drawings are included in the Year Book. He fondly likes to reminisce about Maryland, My Maryland. That glow of health can be attributed to Salisbury's working on a farm in Maryland during the summer months. P.S.- That farm's in Salisbury. Entered D .

Next Year: Rutgers or Pennsy lvani a.

R. VIRGINIA GRAINGER 728 STRADONE ROAD , CYNWYD, PA.

"Ginnie" "What she 11ndertook to do, she did. " Ginnie is probably our most studious mem. ber, and without a doubt, our most good natured and obliging. No matter what she's doing she'll always stop to help some poor, helpless classmate do a physics problem or a French translation. Ginnie will make her mark, or we're poor guessers. Entered C. Teams : Cl ass H ockey, C, B, Senior; Class Basketball , B, A, Senior. Clubs: Gl ee, Service, Dramatic. Plays: "A H ot Day. " Next Year: Unknown.

KATHERINE LOUISE GUERNSEY 668 LONGACR E BOULEVARD, YEADON, PA.

Clubs: Gl ee. Plays: " J ean Valj ean." Next Yeal': Unknown.

CLEMENTINE ELIZABETH HIRES 4400 SPRUCE STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA .

"Clemie" "A da1fghter of the Gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair." It is to Clemie that we owe loads of thanks for her loyal work on our Social Committee in both A and Senior years. She has also taken interest in other school activities and has been a popular member with both the girls and boys of our class (and, we might add, West Point). Entered E. Offices: Treasurer, E; Social Committee, A and Senior; Record Book Staff; Athletic Association. Teams: Class H ockey, D , C, B, A, and Senior; V arsity H ockey, Senior. Next Year: Oberlin College.

EDNA RUTH HUMPHREYS 270 HARVEY STREET, GERMANTOWN, PA.

"Ruthie, " Little-b11t oh my!" Ruthie may be the tiniest in the class, but her interests are far from small. She's held two editorial staff positions and has been on the varsity hockey team, besides lots of class teams. She's one of the liveliest and " loviest" in the class, and she's made everybody like her by her daintiness and quick wit. Entered C. 0 [fices: Treasurer, C; A. A. Represen tative, C; Secretary, A ; Assistant Editor, Reco1·d Book; Associate Editor, Blue atzd G1·ay.

LILLIAN W. JONES 3 10 NORTH 39TH STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

"Peggy, " H er feet keep time to the gay beatings of he1· heart." Peggy's quotation indicates exactly what she is- a cheery and brig ht person with a smile for everyone. She, therefore, is an excellent dancer. During her short stay at Friends' Central she has been a loyal supporter of both the Glee Club and the class. Entered A. Team.r: Basketball, A. Clubs: Glee Club, A and Senior; Service Club, A and Senior. Nex/ Year: Unknown.

ANNA MARIA KELLY 110 LLANDAFF ROAD, LLANERCH, PA.

"Re"

"Quietness reigns." There's not a great deal we can say about Marie because she is so quiet and talks so little about herself. However, we have discovered one other prominent thing besides her quietness-and that is her anxiety over letters from Mercersburg! " Re" also is artistically inclined and we hope she has a lot of success at the School of Design. Entered F. Offices : Vice-President, A ; Literary Committee, E ; Librarian of Glee Club, Senior; Autumn Fair Committee.

REBECCA AUGUST A KEIL 3629 HAMILTON STREET, PHILADELPHIA , PA.

"Becky" " Love the sea? I dote upon it.'" Beckey has a great "yen" for the sea, and spends most of her summer sailing. She takes her place among the more studious members of the class and whichever of the two co ll eges which she is considering is chosen, we know she'll make her mark! Entered E. 0 lfices: Blue and Gray Representative, E; Service Club Representative, A and Senior; Secretary, Gl ee Club, A ; Treasurer, Glee Club, Senior. Teams: 4th Team, H ockey. Plays: "Seawana," "Jean Valjean ." Next Y ear: New Jersey College or Duke University.

JAMES GIBSON LAMB, JR. ROSE VALLEY, PA.

"Jim" "The mildest of nat11res and the tmest of friends."

Here, at Friends' Central, we believe in classing extremes in the same category. For our contrast this time we have selected the two Jims . Mr. Lamb has been a rather quiet fellow and has always been a popular member at our numerous class functions. Jim also proved his ability as Class President in the Junior year so convincingly that we could do nought but elect him for a second term. Quaker is as Quaker does, so Jim's going to Swarthmore. Entered D. 0 [fices: President, B, A and Senior Classes. Teams: Soccer, 1931-32-33. Clubs: Service, Boys A . A. Next Y em·: Swarthmore.

WALTER LAMB R. D. No. 1, NORRISTOWN, PA.

"Walt" "The ability to speak and be heard is half of sffccess."

" He got up and flew! " Bang, and another of Walter's well-known pheasants bit the dust. There is but one conviction that can be drawn from these stories, and that is that "Walt" must at some time have gone hunting. Whether or not these escapades are based entirely on facts, we like to hear them. Let's have plenty more, Walt. Entered Class B. 0 ffices: Business Manager of Blue and GraJ'· Teams: Soccer. Clubs: Dramatic. Plays: " Rosamunde," " Peace Conference." Next Year: Swarthmore College.

WILLIAM LOVE 116 CONESTOGA ROAD, WAYNE , PA.

"Bill" "Lovie" "And to his eye There was but one beloved face on earth, Aud that was shining on him." Although Bill plays a good clean game of football there are times when he is Ruth-less. Football, however, is not the only field in which he excels; he is an excell ent quartermiler and when it comes to snake dances he can't be beat. "Lovie" intends to enter Penn State next year. Go to it, Bill. Entered Senior. T eams: Football, Track. N ext Y ear: Penn State.

HAZEL MARIE MARSCHER 106 LINWOOD AVENUE, ARDMORE, PA .

"Hazel" "I have often heard of the lady and good wo!'ds went with her name." Hazel's place among us can be most easily pointed out by the fact that she was reelected president in our Senior year, after having guided us most successfuly through the previous year. She has been very loyal both to "us" and the schoo l, and the best we can do is to thank her again for all she has done. Entered C. Offices : President, Juni or and Senior; Varsity Basketball Manager, Senior. Clu bs : Service Club, C, B, A, and Senior.

DANIEL QUAYLE MARSHALL 46 EAST LACROSSE AVENUE, LANSDOWNE, PA.

" Dan" " Marshall" "Diligence is amply rewarded." If you have heard the dreaded war-cry, " Where's that article?" and have seen a member of our student body moving at a high rate with a black-haired something after him, then you've seen Dan. Marshall has been an active member of our class since his entry in the seventh grade and has contributed much to making this year's News a success. Dan also hopes to turn one of his hobbies into his life's work. Watch him at Annapolis. Entered Seventh Grade. Offices: Treasurer, Secretary. Teams: Soccer, 1932-33, 34; Fencing, 1932-33, 34.

JOHN LEONARD MASON, JR. 440 SOUTH 50TH STREET, PHILADELPHIA , PA.

"Skeets" " The mle of my life is to make b11siness a pleasure, and pleasttre my b11sines_s." Skeets is one of those fellows who just can't stop piling up ath letic honors for his school and himself. After winning the Interac Pole Vaulting Championship last year he led the Thirtythree football sguad to the heights in the Interac League. We believe we are free to say that Skeets is one of the most popular members of our class, due to his unfailing frie ndl iness. Incidentally Skeets is goi ng down to the University of Pennsylvania to see what his father can do for him in the line of ath letics. Entered F. 0 ffices: Secretary, Class B; Treasurer, enior Class.

EDWARD JAMES McCONAGHY, Ill 152 WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE, AUDUBON , N. } .

"Ed" " There are a few cases where pretension is better than the action." Ed is one of the boys who, this winter, has been putting old G. Washington to shame. Not only has he crossed the ice-bound Delaware many times, but he has accomplished the feat in a mere fraction of the estab lished time. Ed's principal diversions are stopping fire-trucks and chasing Paul Chambers. Ask him the meaning of the French phrase, "venir de." Entered Ninth Year.

Tom forms another unit of our All-Interacademic-Mention group here, and played a prominent part in the winning of the Interacademic Championship this past season. Tom came from Overbrook High to complete his Preparatory School course and from a football standpoint and many others we can say that we're glad he did. Entered Senior.

FREDRIC N. OETTINGER, JR. 716 ANDERSON AVENUE , DREXEL HILL , PA.

"Fred" " Kn ow' st rne not by my clothes?" For informal sports wear see Mr. Oettinger. Although Fred believes in being well-dressed, he doesn't believe in the old maxim, " Clothes maketh the man. " For proof of this one can turn to his football record which embraces an All-Scholastic and an All-Interacademic election, both of which were won by good hard work. Entered Senior.

"Posties,

Short and snappy." Posties, also, has been a member of our class for a long whi le, and we feel that we are lucky to be able to say so.

WARWICK SAKAMI 512 SOUTH 41ST STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

"Saki" "I would live to study, and not study to live." Warwick has been one of the most active members of the Class of Thirty-four, and unless we are rather low in our guessing average, we should suppose that Saki is headed for incomprehensible intellectual heights. The way in which he has been reaching to the right and to the left grasping A's and literary awards can't be stopped in the course of an ordinary lifetime. One might also add that Warwick thrives on puns. Entered E. 0 ffices: Literary Editor, Friends' Central News, Senior. Clubs: Service, Library, Model Airpl ane, Dramatic.

Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with pleasure that I have the honor to greet each of you, on this, our class day, and it is with pride that I have this opportunity, on the eve of the closing of our Senior year, to greet the parents and friends of my classmates. We are delighted to have you with us. Tomorrow marks the closing of many happy years at Friends' Central and so today those of us who have been so close together during these past years would like to say farewell in as informal a way as we can. We should like today to stand out in our memories as one of our happiest. Because of this you may find us a bit personal and a little hilarious, but I hope you will all realize that this is our last playday together. I am sure you will get as much enjoyment out of this as we shall. Thank you. HAZEL M . MARSCHER.

ceomOt't'OQ, Oh joyous yesterday, oh happier today, To us each fleeting hour brings sorrow and dismay. Too soon we shall be parted, too soon we' ll say farewell To teachers, school and classmates we have come to love so well. The windows deep, the grey stone walls o'er which the ivy climbs ; The portico and entrance arch where the blue wisteria twines; The stately trees with foliage green outlined against the sky ; To all of these dear old friends, we're loath to say goodbye. As time rolls on relentlessly, we' re carried with the tide; We can't revive the old days, but memories still abide Within our hearts, of those days when we were freshmen meek And to the seniors haughty we hardly dared to speak. And when, as soph' mores older, we bore the daisy chain, The seniors seemed to glance our way with somewhat less disdain. Another year as juniors we felt the time was near When we would be the seniors whom freshmen would revere. Oh those were sad, mad, glad days, the days of yesteryear; Tomorrows stretch before us and fill our hearts with fear, But we'll march on endeav'ring to keep our courage fed By constantly remembering the best is still ahead.

POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OVERTHROWN B

REAKING free at last from the tenacious hold of organization politics, the Class of '34 finally came through with an entirely clean election. Before

the election a few of the more skittish members of the class, mindful of p ast instances of ballot-box stuffing, bribing officials, and pulling strings in Washington, clamored for the installation of voting machines. The Staff, however, unshaken in a strong conviction th at the Class of '34 has some good stuff in it, carried out the elections in the usual manner. When the returns came in a committee, bonded and pledged not to swerve from the path of integrity, started its long task of compiling the final results . For the benefit of the eager and excited public, summaries were broadcast at frequent intervals over Station FCS. Along about dawn of the next day the committee, limp and bedraggled after a sleepless night, announced the final results to the world at large and these results are herein published for the benefit of posterity.

GIRLS ' CLASS HISTORY

The caboose of the train of 1934 consists of our years in the Lower School. Mrs. Muschamp is most responsible for our early education, since she taught us in fourth grade and graduated with us to fifth and sixth . There are only seven of us who have made our way to the engine, and we few love to recall our early dramatic efforts in the annual June pageants and the class' star performance, "The Pickle Jar." Our loud escapades around the art studio in the game of " spies" started the caboose rattling, and every car since then has followed suit, gaining us a reputation for our noisemaking ability. We took up the work of publishing the Y oung Authon ' Magazine, which was begun by the class before us, and left our own stamp on the Lower School in the form of a bird bath. The step from the caboose to car "E" was a long one, but it was good training for our tree-climbing, which took place every lunch period. Hallowe'en was marked this year by the party the D's gave us, and Valentine's Day, with the proverbial "Valentine Box" duly decked out in crepe paper. At the end of the year we gave Miss Pusey, our home-room teacher, a present for her coming marriage. Here was the beginning of our career as the matchmaking class of the School, for, out of our six home-room teachers, three were married, Miss Eves and Miss Prosser (now Mrs. Small and Mrs. Webster) being our other two protegees. What a golden opportunity the others missed! In D Class, instead of having the chapel room, we were shifted to the sunny one which had belonged to the Seniors- a move which greatly increased our self-esteem. (We realized later that the reason for the change in the regul ar order was not our abundance of quality, but merely our lack of quantity.) It was in this year that we acquired our faithful mascot "Buttercup," that little "yaller dog" with red and blue spots and red wheels. He came back with us as booty from a track-meet at Germantown Friends' School, and has stood in a place of honor in every car of our train. An entire book could be written about our trip to Gettysburg, but we must be content with stating that we were the last class to go on this expedition and with saying to our fellow-pilgrims, "Remember?" Our extra energy which was not spent on Social Studies was consumed in collecting pennies for a swimming pool which never materialized (a gentle hint), in making babies' layettes, and in perfecting our culinary skill. At Christmas we filled stockings to send to poor children along with the Christmas dinners and had a party for ourselves, at which we gave each other ten-cent presents. The chapel room became our home for Class C, Biology became our occupation, and we became perfect maniacs- hunting for grasshoppers, reading "Microbe Hunters" from beginning to end, collecting wild flowers and writing term papers on everything from horses to ants. We went everywhere, namely, the Zoo, the University of Pennsylvania, and Mt. Holly, New Jersey. Canoeing was the big feature of the latter trip, especially when Mr. Tobias fell overboard. Going forward into car "B, " we entered the Senior High School. Girls'

VERY good train has a caboose.

Lacrosse was begun this year, although we played no real games until the next. Being Sophomores, it was our turn to carry the daisy chain at Commencement, an honor which we had anticipated for a long time as does every class. The next car, commonly known as either the Junior Class, eleventh grade, or Class A-whichever you prefer-needs all of these titles to cover our numerous activities. It was this year which brought our long-desired class rings and during which we gave a dance at school in honor of the Class of 1933, the fOtmders of that great institution known as the "Bi-weekly Dance." We happened to pick the hottest day of the year for it, so the brick court was flooded with colored spotlights and, after all our hard work of moving the furniture out of the first-floor rooms, we held the dance outside! Our Junior Prom, held in the spring at the Aronimink Golf Club, was a huge success, not only in view of the "good time had by all," but also, to be awfully mercenary and consider the sordid facts, from the standpoint of the two hundred and thirty-two dollars it added to our treasury. Some of us had our trials and tribulations with Chemistry, and some had the experience of being on the staff of reporting for the newspaper which had just been started. At commencement we were promoted from the daisy chain to fixing the flowers for the platform. At last came the Senior year in all its glory-a radiance which could not be dimmed by hard work, and which shone brightly every time Miss Fussell popped forth with a new quotation from "Sonny Sayings." The program of our social events was begun by a wonderful campfire supper given by Dr. and Mrs. Jones. Our Senior dance, which took place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, was so enjoyable that in the spring we gave a play called "A Hot Day," followed by a dance. There were many other parties in evidence, notably Margaretta Steer's dance for the class at the Aronimink. However, we really did do some work. Along with the rest of our evidence we call upon the accomplishments of the Glee Club, which broadcast several times, and the many trips taken to various and sundry museums by the Physics and Art Classes. Our long years of preparing St. Patrick's Day luncheons for other Seniors were fully rewarded with the party given us this year by the lower classes. After much serious deliberation we came to the conclusion that money was rather scarce (an original idea), and therefore we gave up the plan of going to Washington. In the baggage car we have stored the events which do not belong to any particular year but to the whole train. Here we find the Hampton Quartet, the Autumn Hobby Fairs, the Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets, the Hockey Banquets, and the Wallis' annual picnics which turned into a Hallowe'en party in the Junior year. Sports have a prominent place in the baggage car, especially the riotous hockey and basketball games against the boys' teams and the faculty . And now we have come to Class Day and Commencement, our train's engine. Everything is ready to start off on the unknown track that lies around the bend ahead of us. How smooth the traveling will be or how steep the hills we shall have to climb is a mystery, but we are supplied with a big load of valSARAH WALLIS, uable knowledge and precious memories. LEONA PosT.

BOYS ' CLASS HISTORY HE boys' section of the Class of '34 became recognizable as a class in 1928, when a group of very young hopefuls gathered together in the seventh grade under the watchful eye of Mr. Skilling. The favorite trick of the more humorously inclined boys (or was it just the more forgetful?) was to come to school sans neckties, thus making " Papa" Skilling pound the desk and cause the ink bottle to imitate Terpsichore. And great was the rejoicing among the penitents when one day Mr. Skilling himself forgot his neckwear. These antics served to break down all barriers, and the members of the class became well acquainted.

The next year those who bad been fortunate with the seven or more subjects moved over to Mr. Crouch's room and turned over a new leaf. Henceforth they would not be caught at mischief. That doctrine continued more or less successfully up to the end of the Junior year, so a historian finds very little mischief with which to spice his tale. During that year, under Mr. Crouch's unique brand of humor, philosophy, temper and tutelage, the boys became more or less reconciled to school and set out with an honest sincerity of purpose to attain the high standards exemplified by their instructors. But the course of emulation is smooth only for plaster saints. While they were in this crusading mood, some of the boys formed a model 'plane club. Almost any morning the class yell, "That won't fly," could be heard as someone entered the room with a shoebox that probably contained lunch. C Class! Freshmen! Every member of the class put on long pants, tightened up his belt and squared away for action. And action was obviously demanded by the problems and the new experiment of assuming the scientific attitude required by Mr. Tobias. Although there was always plenty of routine work to be done, our young scientists, on certain occasions when Mr. Tobias was out of the room, experimented on human reactions to unexpected stimuli by means of a meek-mannered, forlorn snake. That same year trips were made to the New Jersey woods and streams in search of specimens for laboratory study. T hrough these trips Mr. Tobias instilled in his disciples a lasting respect and feeling of responsibility for the wild flowers. That was not the only thing carried out of the Freshman year, however. Whosoever remembers biology under Mr. Tobias will never forget osmosis or the fact that you keep both eyes open when using a microscope. The next year, under the most efficient eye of Mr. Schultz, was perhaps the quietest, for an atmosphere of hard study and righteous pride in their ability to take a possible exam in high gear seemed to ooze from the class. Strangely enough the class passed the finals practically without casualties either to its members or its pride.

Then the trek of that class fortunate to Mr. Scull. The A Class year under this leader brought out many new factors in school life. As a result of the biweekly dances the boys explored new realms and discovered that the girls could not only be tolerated, but actually enjoyed, greatly enjoyed, in fact. The Junior year featured the athletic members of the group. Members of the Class of '34 could be found on the football, soccer, basketball, fencing, track, tennis and baseball teams. That year's baseball team was exceptional, for it not only had ability but could produce a lively spectacular game. Perhaps the pitchers from '34 were not a major part of the team, but they were the pitchers, so judge for yourself. Juniors often slip back in their studies, owing to the new discovery just mentioneJ and some others, but, oddly enough, the boys surpassed themselves and maintained the pace they had set when they were wise fools. The Senior year witnessed a reversion to type, with the flagging ingenuity of the boys taking on new vigor with the addition of several new ingredients to the batter of the class. Paper, pencils, rulers, water, string and those slowly masticated portions of that material upon which this is written took on added interest. Of course this interest was instilled by the study of physics. A new theme, fun for fun's sake, insinuated itself into the Senior intelligence, for they gradually began to realize that all concentration and no relaxation might make one not only a dull boy but a decidedly remorseful fellow, for college and new problems loomed ahead, promising plenty of work. However, the pendulum did not swing too far, for the same imminence of college also stimulated the desire for knowledge that would be a reliable defense against future failures. Thus you can see that this class of '34 runs along in the same general groove of most classes. Beginning with a bunch of more or less kids, the years here have served as a buffer and polisher to remove the rough spots from them. You may think that an emery wheel would have been more appropriate, and you may be right. DANIEL Q. MARSHALL.

AZE! Concentrate! Focus your eyes on the glass." "But I want to discover the future of some of my classmates," I replied to the crystal gazer. "You shall in one moment. Already I see a gust of wind coming. Here it is, Ted Saunders selling tornado insurance. Now the images are coming rapidly. Is there any particular person you would like to know about?" "Yes, I've often wondered what would become of Barney Smolens." "Good gracious, the glass is splitting. That's a crack by Barney. It's just

catching on." Now how are we going to mend that break? This seems to be the end of looking into the future. But no, here comes Walter Lamb with his trowel to cement the crystal. It is his day off from laying bricks, but he still wears loud ties. Thanks to Walter, we can now continue. What's this?: the glass is changing color. Oh, no! that's only Ed Rice and Smitty. Ed has just recently published a book on the culture of fingernails. He has his information at his fingertips . Smitty is making fine progress in Miss Irwin's School as a singing instructor. Among the musicians we see and hear Horace Wolf, who has taken Ben Bernie's place and is starring Bing Thompson, broadcasting for the Doctor McConaghy pill program. Doctor McConaghy's pills cure everything from flat feet to appendicitis. Among the doctor's many salesmen is the up-andcoming Doctor Sakami, who has made a fortune by selling these pills. He still carries his handbook while visiting a patient. Bob Gardner's picture constantly appears on the back covers of magazines as an advertisement for hatr tonic. Skeets Mason has gone into the boxing ring. Is he a knockout! The "Mad Scientist," Goldsmith, is in charge of Maryland's testing laboratories . Dick Pease and Paul Chambers are working for him, trying to discover for high school students how to get a pony into a classroom. At this point the glass becomes dim. "You will have to wait a few seconds," explained the crystal gazer. It wasn't long before the glass began to Quaile and glow once more. The first to appear is Daniel Marshall, the Navy's best Grease Monkey. He has a hard time keeping white. Bowes is in the Navy in a way at least. Warden Stark, of Welfare Island, sees him every day-he is a captain of New York's garbage scow. Lawyer Orr has a hard time keeping Miller and Voehl, the circus actor, and the barker, out of trouble, especially Miller. Oettinger was suffering from amnesia when last seen, his last words were, "Oh, I love that girl." Frank Gatling started on the ground floor and has worked up to President of Sears and Roebuck. Bailey is an instructor at P. I. D. Armer Abel is a gigolo while he is waiting for Anthony Adverse to be published in the Readers' Digest. Ramond Trotter is a night club dancer in a fashionable club. He gives German lessons in the daytime. What's this I hear? A faint cry of "Extra! Extra!" Oh, yes, it's newsboy Young yelling how a gallant member of the Macon ground crew, Bassett, had held the ship safely for two hours. Another important news item, Jockey Jimmy Lamb is the latest thing in the Grand National. Joe Alessandroni is in the Bush League-highest paid and the lowest batting average. Eddie Givens is playing football for a dollar a game with the Arkansas Aggies, trying to keep up his amateur standing. Bob English is a small-town politician in Ohio. Bill Love is probably the luckiest of all. He married a rich widow and has now retired. The glass finally flickers out for the last time. ROBERT ENGLISH.

E have spent very happy and very busy days at Friends'

Central. It is with mingled feelings that we come to the closing days of our school career. We have enjoyed wonderful friendships among the faculty and students. To feel that we will not again have the daily contacts with these friends is a real regret. On the other hand they have inspired us with a tremendous enthusiasm and urge to go out and live our own lives to the fullest. When we consider that for nearly ninety years Friends' Central has never wavered from its course of giving to its students the very highest standards of school education, and that the standard has been consistently raised with every new discovery to the present day, we realize how favored we have been to grow up in that atmosphere. The old school bas given us what it has given to so many classes before us-the mental stimulus, the moral stability and the social consciousness which go toward real character building. As we go out tomorrow into a world filled with uncertainty, where great experiments are being tried, can we have any stronger anchor to the windward than a background of such ideals built up by ninety years of service? We are grateful to the present splendid faculty for passing on these traditions to us. We owe Friends' Central a great debt which it is now our duty to discharge. It expects each one of us to build, on the firm foundations that it bas given us, lives of great courage and usefulness that will reflect honor upon our Alma Mater. Shall we accept the challenge?

9\.~vice to a 5enior Oh, little urchin sitting there A dreaming on the topmost stair, What thoughts are in that tousled head? Is it of soldiers with coats of red, Or is it of cowboys riding the plains On spirited horses with flowing manes? Or is it of sailors on ships at sea That you are dreaming you'd like to be? But whatever it is, little urchin so small, Fight for the best or don't fight at all. NAN BAKER.

HE Social Committee for this year was one of the busiest and most successful of any Senior Class. Besides managing the numerous bi-weeklies it guided the Senior Prom and Senior Play and Dance to financial and social success. The Play and Dance was an innovation at Friends' Central this year which we hope will be continued.

HOCKEY

HE hockey games of 1933 can best be described by following as closely as possible the headlines of the Friends' Central News.

The season started rather badly by a defeat at the hands of Westtown Friends, but the following game was against the alums and the headline says, "ALUMNAE TROUNCED-5-1." Peg Harper, center forward and "Posties," left wing, scored. The next game was with Friends' Select, "HOCKEYISTS CRUSH SELECT RIVALS." The score was 1-0. On November 3rd, "PEG HARPER STARS IN BALDWIN MATCH," with a score of 3-0. Springdale has always been a great rival, and this game ended as follows: "SPRINGSIDE DOWNS F. C. S. HOCKEY TEAM!" The score was 2-0. "FRIENDS' CENTRAL BEATS MOORESTOWN," is the next one, and Helen White and Bee Craig, SENIORS, scored one apiece. The last game was a defeat from Holman. There is another rather mystifying headline concerning hockey which says, "LADIES VS. GENTLEMEN," and represents an hilarious game between the hockey and football teams. On the whole it was a successful season as we won four games and lost but three, and we are very grateful to our grand coach, Liza Blackburn, for her hard work. Credit is due also to our center half, Sarah Wallis, who made all-scholastic, and to our veteran Captain, Tommy Bowen, who made the second scholastic team. The D's won the class championship. BEE CRAIG.

BASKETBALL

girls' varsity basketball team of 1934 can boast a very successful seawn. In the eight games we played we were defeated only three times, two of the games being lost by only two points each. The second team, even more successful than the varsity, remained undefeated throughout the season, winning all of its games by large scores. HE

The fir~ t team defeated Sacred Heart, its first opponent, with a score of 37-32, and the next week both teams played Wilmington Friends'. The second team, captained by Helen White, started forth on its glorious career with the score 36-8, while the first team gained 38 points to 21 for the visitors. We downed the Sayward School to the tune of 30-12 for the varsity and 36-12 for the second team, and beat Holman the following week 42-27 and 54-6 for the varsity and second teams respectively. The most important game of the year was against Springside. The scores of the games were: first team, 32-14, and second team, 41-18. For seven years Friends' Central had been unable to defeat Springside, w it was a great triumph to break down their record, especially since the game was played on their floor which is an unusually big one. Up to this point both teams were undefeated. The game with Friends' Select looked as if it would be a tie, but in the last few minutes of the game Friends' Select made another basket which fixed the score at 37-35 in their favor. Although Moorestown's first team beat us by the close score of 26-24, our second team held up our reputation by winning 20-17. We had only one more game and this we lost to the Alumnae. At the end of the year gold basketballs were given to two girls, Tommy Bowen and Sarah Wallis. They were awarded for making the varsity team for three years. SARAH WALLIS, Captain.

LACROSSE T ACROSSE each year becomes a more prominent sport among the girls' many L activities. Although our season was delayed by heavy snows, practice began after all the bad weather was over. This past season there were so many gids interested in lacrosse that we were able to have both a first and a second team. For our coach we had Miss Connie Morton, who is president of the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association, and who was able to secure two English coaches one afternoon to teach us stick work. Our first game, a practice game with Swarthmore High, we lost with the score 4-1. The next game, with Irwin's, ended in a tie. In this game several of our team played in different positions from their usual ones, and these changes helped to strengthen the team a great deal. Although we slipped all over the place on an extremely muddy field, we were able to tie Germantown Friends'. In our next game, with Springside, we came through with a victory of 6-0. Our last game was with Swarthmore High, and this we lost 3-1. In all of the games the team fought to the end, and during the season the girls continued to improve their lacrosse so steadily that three girls, Sarah Wallis, Edna Wagner, and Babs Heward, made the All-Scholastic Lacrosse team which played the All-Philadelphia.

FOOTBALL RIENos' Central enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in modern football history during the 1933 campaign. Five victories, two Les, no defeats, and co-champions of the Interacademic League was the record achieved by the Blue and Gray eleven. Forty boys reported to Coaches Crate and Scull at the opening practice. There were only three lettermen among the ambitious group. Three weeks of hard work preceded the opening game with the Swarthmore College Fresh. The Cratemen easily conquered the Garnet Frosh, 19-0. A heavily outweighed Friends' Central team indicated to the public that it was a dangerous contender for Interac. honors, when it conquered the highly touted Germantown Academy eleven, 7-0. After scoring early in the opening period the Blue and Gray warriors stubbornly protected their slim lead. Twice the bulky proteges of Cooper French were held for downs within the three-yard line by the hard fighting City Liners. Following their hard fought victory over Germantown Academy, Doug Crate's charges rolled up easy victories over Bryn Athyn Academy and Chestnut Hill Academy by 26-0 and 31-0 scores. Still undefeated and unscored upon, the Friends' Central eleven, again the underdog in the pre-game rating, met Haverford school's undefeated eleven and were held to a 7-7 tie. · The light Blue and Gray clan played their best game of the season. Combining a deceptive running attack with a fine passing game, the hard charging Cratemen rallied in the second half to overcome the seven point lead held by the Main Liners, and pile up fourteen first cowns against Haverford's six. After the first quarter, when Haverford scored, the game was entirely Friends' Central's. Episcopal Academy was bowled over by a 13-7 score by the Blue and Gray in their rush for the Interac. Crown. A few t:mely forward passes and the ever present stubborn defense carried the City Line aggregation a step nearer the championship. In the final game of the season an aroused Penn Charter eleven battled the Cratemen to a 9-9 tie in a game packed with hair-raising thrills. Each team scored a touchdown and field goal and battled evenly throughout the contest. The Friends' Central eleven of 1933 overcame seemingly insurmountable difficulties in completing its first undefeated season for many years. Players and Coaches are to be commended for their excellent record which will remain long in the memories of every Friends' Central Student.

SOCCER Central Soccer Team of 1933, composed for the most part of rookies, showed its opponents a fine example of a "never say die" spirit. Most of the fellows on the team found the game strange playing for the first time. Nevertheless it was these inexperienced players who forced every opposing team to strain to the utmost in order to score and who won the first soccer victory for Friends' Central in two years. The team, which Coach Nicholson built around five of the preceding year's squad, although lacking much offensive punch was one of the best defensive combinations in the league. It is interesting to note that, although we won only one game and tied another, our defeats were always by only one or two point margins. The great defensive ability of the team was displayed in the first two games when we held Germantown Academy to a 0-0 tie and were only beaten 2-0 by last year's champions, Germantown Friends. The Friends' Select game was lost by the score of 1-0 on a second period corner kick. We snapped out of our losing streak to trounce Chestnut Hill to the tune of 3-1, and then we relapsed again, losing our remaining games. However, a resume of the season would not be complete without some mention of the Penn Charter game which was the last of the season. The Penn Charter football team had just forced us into a tie jn that sport and we determined to do our best to force their soccer team into a tie by handjng them their first defeat of the season. Durjng the first period there was no score and jt was generally conceded that we had greatly outplayed our more experienced opponents. Then in the third period we cracked and allowed Penn Charter to score twice. After that we tightened again but could not pierce the Penn Charter defense. Penn Charter finally won 2-0 but not before they had been badly scared.

BASKETBALL A FTER the championship football season had become a matter of history, the

.fl. 1934 basketball prospects became the main attraction in athletic circles at Friends' Central. The candidates were not very promising, however, since the whole team was made up of the previous year's second team and junior varsity who were all young and inexperienced. Nevertheless, Coach "Doug" Crate developed the squad in such fine style that at the end of the season the team showed a record of 10 wins and 7 losses. Furthermore, the Blue and Gray five finished strong with six straight wins, which helped them to gain a tie for third place in the Jnteracademic League race. The team journeyed over to Moorestown to outclass completely its rivals in the opening game of the season by a score of 30-9. The next three games were lost but the teams were out of our class and were expected to win. However, the scores were close: Triangle won, 25-22; the State Champions, Lower Merion, won, 40-23; and Brown Prep won, 29-17. During the Christmas vacation which followed the team practised a great deal to get ready for the league games. Immediately after the vacation the team showed its best form of the year in defeating Taylor Business School, 39-25, and also Olney High School, 27-17. Friends' Central opened the league season with a defeat at the hands of Penn Charter, 25-12. Nevertheless, this was the lowest score our rivals were held to all season, which was a great honor to achieve. The next two games were a bitter disappointment to everyone concerned with the team. Haverford won, 24-18, and the lowly Episcopal five won, 17-12. At this point the team staged a great comeback and won the last six tilts as follows: Chestnut Hill, 30-23; Germantown Friends', 32-24; Germantown Academy, 36-17; Montgomery, 29-28; Alumni, 40-32, and the Faculty, 25-23. The first team was made up of Captain Paul Chambers and "Buch" Marsh at forwards, Bill Voehl at center, Bill Fisher and Dave Flaccus at guards. PAUL CHAMBERS.

TRACK

HE talent from which the 1934 Track Team was drawn was made up for

the most part of first year men. Coach Scull had a few men back from last year including Captain "Skeets" Mason, whose ambition seems to be to soar skyward. He is an outstanding pole-vaulter and high jumper. Other men from last year's team are: Vick, Saunders, Hassrick and W. Mason. Among the new men Coach Scull found a variety of activities represented by Keinath, Love, Kohler, Oettinger, Smith, Miller and Benjamin. The new fellows were most proficient in the running events; Oettinger and Kohler in the 100-yard dash and Love in the 440. Oettinger and Kohler gathered first laurels in halfmile and 220, respectively. In his steady plugging in the mile, Vick was one of the most consistent workers on the squad. As he is only a Junior, we're expecting a lot from him next year. Keinath and Sutton are also good distance men. In the field events Captain Mason is outstanding, holding the Interac Championship for pole-vaulting for the last two years and also many good marks in the high jump and broad jump. This year Ted Saunders found his supremacy as Friends' Central's shot putter challenged by Smith who, along with Benjamin, is also an excellent discus thrower. With this versatile squad Mr. Scull guided the Blue and Gray Track Team to two victories out of two meets by mid season. FRED OETTINGER.

BASEBALL

ARM weather always brings to the real lover of baseball the shrill cry

of "Play Ball." Friends' Central Interac Champions of 1933 had their crown at stake in the 1934 season. Coach Doug Crate was forced to build his 1934 team around four veterans, two pitchers, a catcher and an infielder. The first game of the season found the team facing Taylor School, and although the weather was still very cool our boys came through with a 15-4 win. The next game with Haverford High was dropped, but in the succeeding two weeks the team showed real ability in winning from Chestnut Hill by 12-5 and from Lower Merion, our greatest outside rivals, 10-9. The first League game found the team facing its old "jinx" Episcopal Academy. This game was dropped due to the inexperience of our boys and their failure to hit in the pinches. The final score being 7-3. April 24 found the team journeying to Roxborough and registering a win over one of the best teams on Friends' Central outside schedule. H averford School, leaders of the League, came to our grounds on May 4 and were given a real surprise, when the Blue and Gray won a thrilling and well fought game by a 3-2 score. Bryn Athyn Academy was swept away the following week, 15-3, and only Penn Charter remained as a real challenger to Friends' Central's bid for the 1934 Interac championship. JOSEPH ALESSANDRONI, JR.
