I CK is a newcomer this year. Last year was spent st udying at Chestnut Hill Academy, our league rival. Of quiet demeanor, Dick says little to make him self conspicuous. His fame lies moslly in his co ntinual tardiness and the pulchritude that resides in the perso n of hi s sister.

N BEHALF of the Class of 1936, I welcome you, our parents and friends, to these our Class Day exercises. Tomorrow we leave this school as a fleet of ships leaves a harbor; each one of which has received the same care and construction and the same trials have been taken to complete them. Now we each choose a different course on the sea of life, but no matter what the course we each must steer true, or we shall not meet squarely the storms of life nor avoid its rocks. Well can each of us exclaim: "We know what master laid thy keel What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel Who made each mast and sail and rope, What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of our hope." Thus upon the well-laid keel of character we sail forth . Well-wrought is every beam of. wisdom, well-hammered every rivot of fact. The sails of a willing spirit are set to catch the kindly breezes of the world and at the helm sits the influence of our school life to guide us in the way of truth and light. To you who have come to bid us Godspeed upon our great voyage, we offer our thanks· First of all, to our parents, to whom the greatest gratitude is due, for it is you who have made this day possible by your sacrifces and generosity. And then to you, Dr. Jones and you the Faculty, for your endless patience and consideration. May we, by the application of the knowledge we have acquired here, benefit not only ourselves but those with whom we may come in contact. You have done your part, now it is up to us. God grant we may fulfill your highest expectations. And now before our graduation tomorrow, we ask you to join with us in the merriment of our final informal gathering. We lay aside for a short time some of the dignity belonging to Seniors, hoping you will overlook it if we become boisterous, for we are schoolmates for such a short time more. ELEANOR DEMMERT.

F WE were to ask a person who had become familiar with the Bible, the question, "What do you consider as some of the outstanding examples of philosophy found in Scripture?" undoubtedly the phrase "Seek and ye shall find," would be among those mentioned. We are part of the great numbers in the world who are constantly seeking. Of course, whether what we find is to our advantage or not, is aside from the point. We were placed on this earth to profit by our mistakes and learn by our experiences. A year from now will find us as a group, separated to a great extent. Colleges and other educational fields will be our chief environments during the next several years at least. What is to follow then remains to be seen. Through our years at Friends' Central, we have been unusually fortunate in having at our disposal many opportunities for seeking, which later in life will have proven themselves invaluable. After all, what is life but one long expedition in which are crowded times of joy, sorrow, hope, and memory? I£ we were to go out into the world lacking ability to manage our affairs intelligently, what would the future hold in store for us? Certainly not much. But we, at the first major step on the ladder of intellectual accomplishment, face no such illusion. Through our years of close association with our teachers and surroundings here at Friends' Central, we have built the foundation of character and faith that has started so many toward noble careers. For this we join our gratitude to our parents with sincere thanks to our faculty. Their patient guidance has helped us to know some of the problems of life, many of its fantasies, and how to better attain the end of high citizenship. What more could any graduating class desire? What greater heritage could be ours? From tomorrow on, our memories will have, as a background, beautiful trees, buildings, and spacious athletic fields. It seems inconveivable that next fall we shall not be gathering in the same classrooms. Our feeling is one of sadness mixed with a greater confidence and courage to march onward. Nevertheless, the thought and an everlasting picture of the school of which we have become alumni, will always be present. The fact that all who worked with us, on the athletic field and in the classroom, never failed to lend able assistance in times of need, will have become a permanent fixture in our minds. "Seek and ye shall find!" To the eternal glory of Friends' Central we go with the implements of honor to seelc and to find! HARRY C. BRYNE, JR.

Girls' Class H istory
S
OMETIMES we Senior girls get together and talk over the old days 'way back in fifth and sixth grade "when we were very young." Jean MacKay says she remembers vividly the number of plays we staged in the lower school assembly. We can remember Miss Thoms and Mrs. Muschamp who were so helpful, but we all agree that our lives really began in seventh grade, when Peggy Harper, Ethel Price, Dottie Gieg and Betty Shearer arrived. When those girls entered the class, something strange occurred, we all took to working earnestly, with nothing but study as our aim. It might have been their arrival that caused us to study or maybe it was the Upper-School life. Peggy wore little blue wash dresses and blouses and her hair was very straight! We admit that we were perfect students and so-o-o industrious! Some of the girls will remember the picnic at Betty's farm and if they don't remember the picnic, they're sure to recall the bad doses of ivy poison we got running through that patch of tall grass at the back of the house. It either occurred when we were running in the field chasing torpedo parachutes or chasing through the grass after the baseball. At that same picnic, a magician came to do some tricks for us, but we exposed his attempts by peeping under the table in front of him, so that he was obliged to stop, much to everybody's embarrassment. Enough said for seventh. Anita Cartaya, Emily Edgerton, Helen Gudebrod and Ruth Tyndale came in eighth grade. By that time the girls were not quite as studious, although lessons came before other interests. One cloudy Friday afternoon the school was in the gym watching a basketball game. A few of us wandered towards the Upper building looking for trouble. When we came to the homeroom, Betty Shearer, Dottie, Emily and Eleanor Frorer filled Miss Day's large pitcher full of water and held it out the window over the front porch. Peggy and Jean gave the signal from the portico and the pitcher was tipped as people walked below. Just then a teacher walked out, and while Betty was leaning out the window trying to explain, someone kept tapping her urgently on the back. She thought it was one of the girls annoying her and she kept saying, "Keep quiet, leave me alone!" But alas, when she turned around, it was another teacher. By that time the girls were frightened and even more so the following Monday, when they had to stay after school. The water episode was unforgetable. Emily, Betty and Eleanor each wrote a note of apology. One of the notes said, "Dear Miss Day, I realize how unselfish I have been- " The writer often wonders if Miss Day knew it was just a slip of the pen! Besides the water episode, the girls often discuss the famous social studies classes. Miss Day had a pack of cards with each girl's name on one. At class time the cards were shuffied and the girl whose
Page Forty-six
name came out on top, had to recite. She would drag herself to the front of the room and laughingly begin, "Well, wella, ah, etc." Miss Day remarked once, that one girl's card (maybe it was Ginny's or Emily's) looked like a chain stitch design- all zeros! In ninth grade we had the chapel room. Alma Richards, Doris Healy and brownhaired Mary Mulligan joined the group. In ninth grade we remember Mr. Tobias and biology class, and the English classes in which Jean MacKay, Emily and Doris Healy took great part (ahem!) In tenth grade our entire class took many trips to museums, since this year began a new type of studying called "The Enterprise" which combined History and English. Much of our time and thought was given to this new study and by the close of the year we were quite experienced in listening to lectures and going to the museums. Somehow, still a mystery to some of us, we became Juniors, those high and mighty souls who walk around with their noses up in the air because in one more year they 'II be Seniors. Under the very capable leadership of our president, B(1tty Shearer, and our homeroom teacher, Miss Munroe, we passed a very successful year. Our dance, despite inclement weather, was a great success at the New Aronimink Club with music by the increasingly popular Las Vegas Orchestra. Even as Juniors there were some in our midst who still wanted to act like seventh graders. As a result frequent uproars arose in lunch period but they never ended happily. Writing twenty or thirty French verb conjugations is not exactly a happy ending. And now we reach that long-hoped-for senior year. To start our social season off right, Dr. and Mrs. Jones entertained the class at a camp supper on the west end of the football field. This was followed se · eral weeks later by an informal dance. After this we settled down to the realization that it was make or break this year and we were going to make the grade. Swinging around the .:!alendar to the end of January, soon after the midyear exams which left a none-too-pleasant taste in many mouths, the Senior Dramatic class gave a play followed by a party, for F. C. S. students only, which was a great success. We then soon became engrossed in plans for our Senior Prom on February 28th. It was held at the Warwick and fulfilled our highest expectations. At the end of March the girls in the Upper School treated the Senior girls to their annual banquet. The dinner was delicious and all the girls had a grand time. Now tomorrow we graduate, closing the history of the Class of 1936 as schoolmates.

Boys' Class History F ONE ever wants to get into a business, one must start at the bottom and work up, passing through the unskilled fields of labor in the process. So, to learn this business of navigating upon the sea of life, those of us who have remained at Friends' Central to complete the trip, started off as a raw crew under the guidance of Miss Thoms, in fourth grade. Many were the trips to near-by Morris Park for nature study. Great merriment was caused by the embarrassment of those poor suffering boys, taking part as Greek soldiers in the play Helen of "!'roy, who were outfitted in oilcloth and violently-colored, mid-thigh length skirts.

Working up, as it were, to assistant engineers, we came to the class of play and enjoyment, with Miss Green in command. Jokes, puns and fun ruled supreme here. We all remember how she told our fortunes on blank paper over a candle at our Hallowe'en party . During this year, tree climbing and exploring in the attic of the barn, where we weren't supposed to go, came into vogue. Three trips featured this year, one to Breyer's Ice Cream Factory, another to a banana boat, and the third to Maloney's farm, where George Trotter, along with some other boys fell overboard while canoeing. Six Who Pass While the J:.,entils "Boil was the play given during this stage of progress. Our realm of free fun was kept to one year, however, for, when we advanced to the position of chief engineer, we learned that Miss Green had become Mrs. Broomall during the summer, and we were now in the steady hands of Mrs. Muschamp. With Sixth Grade, came the responsibility of putting out Young .Authors, the Lower School magazine. During the course of the year, we studied Medieval knights, causing all who could, to bring in their family coat-of-arms. During the spring, marbles kept the boys occupied, and competition was keen for class champion. This year brought forth St. 'Valentine's Eve and Under the Sea to Europe, an original play by one of the boys, and selections from GJ'he :Mikado, using many people to play the same part, and any part was too much for any one person to master. Can you imagine the president of our student council, Harry Byrne, being cupid in a play, or a dignified person such as myself being a character named Loppy? It was this year that the Autumn Fair came into existence, our class contributing a circus, held in the old tool shack. To finish off our fun, a class picnic was held on the hockey field. To keep the memory of our class abreast of the time, we left behind us an electric clock. When we got on deck as sailors, able, as seventh graders, to glance upon the world, Mr. Howeth took charge. Then the class calmed down, especially when Mr. Crouch gave out his first set of zeros. However, Mr. Snyder's class afforded the required relaxation needed by a group of newly-tamed boys. That year, in connection with the music class, a GJ'our.Around the World was given. In conjunction with the Boat Club, then organized and since disbanded, many trips were taken to the Navy Yard . Again the'- year topped off with a class picnic, held at the end of the football field. It was enlivened by many bottles of "Hires." As Able Seamen, the Eighth Graders really settled down under the supervision of Mr. Crouch. Under his watchful eye little happened. Then, according to the growing tradition, the year was again finished with a picnic.

Arriving at the position of Second Mates, a new outlook on life was grasped. Mr. Tobias was our overseer at this stage. Under his rule in Biology, we learned the real workings of nature . Who will forget the afternoon that one of the boy's snakes got free, causing a dismissal of the girls' section of the after-school conference? Most remembered of this year's activities are the Friday evening trips with Mr. Tobias, with supper at the ".c-ar East" Chinese restaurant. This period brought forth 'Ihe Farce of JJfaster Pierre Patelin. Again a picnic at the end of the football :field finished the year. Promoted to First Mates, Mr. Schultz took us in hand. We all came to like his "pernt," and study periods before school became the order here. Fowever, his vigilance let up when he received his doctor's degree. At this time we were introduced to the Enterprise Curriculum, being the first class to get into this experiment to keep the teachers amused. It was during this year that the boys of our class gave Mr. Tobias a farewell dinner at his favorite "Far East" restaurant. During this section of our polishing, a trio was gotten up by a few of the boys which, according to Bill Kitchen, was decidedly distink-tive. This year the class gave a primitive play, How <JJeath Game Into the World, and a Greek play, .Alcestis. However, the picnic was held at Mermaid Lake this time. That is after everybody found the place. Coming into Captainship, with Mr. Crouch again supervising, the running of the school paper was turned over to us instead of to the Senior class of that time (because of lack of material in their group). Of course our class rings came this year. In connection with the enterprise, o(,e J eu de 'R._pbin et :Marion, the first opera ever written, selections from 'Iwelfth:Af.ight, and an original puppet show written and produced with puppets made by members of the class were given. This year we had to suffer while Doug Neal and Fred Wiese gave their imitation of a Dusek wrestling bout, even when seated at opposite ends of the room. Featuring the Las Vegas orchestra, the Junior Prom at the Aronimink G ol£ Club was a big success. Then, as the dues were slow in being turned in, Mr. Crouch persuaded (?) us to give up our traditional class picnic. After coming through from the bottom, being accompanied by such year-to-year events as Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets, Buck Hill Falls Conference trips, the Hampton Quartet and other assemblies, such as the stunt dogs seen (and heard) at the beginning of this year, we arrived at the coveted Commodoreship of Senior. Because of the illness of Mr. Rex, Mr. Crouch again took charge. By custom, the year started with a camp-fire supper given by Dr. and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Rex's death this year was a blow felt all the more keenly by those of us who had had him as our history te·acher. This year, 'Ihe :Af.eighbors was given. In the spring vacation, came the Washington trip with twice as many girls as boys. A great time was had by all. Another success of the year was the Senior Prom, again with the Las Vegas orchestra, but held this time at the Warwick Hotel. HENRY R. EDMUNDS.

"Again we present Ethel Price, your girl-about-town, sponsored by Dottie Gieg's Scientific Nail Polish Company. Don't forget, it may be had in all shades from purple-chartreuse to Mississippi-brown. Get your bottle today. And now, Miss Price." "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Before getting right down to business, r must tell you to be sure to get the kiddies to listen in on Popeye's program tonight and hear Virginia Chambers play the part of Olive Oyl. H that doesn't induce them to eat their spinach, I don't know what will.

Ten people fainted and&, ... ,· , \ well- l'lllet you imagine the rest. "Of course, I mustn't forget those financial lions, Eleanor Demmert and Helen Gudebrod. Demi has all the road constructors in a tizzy, from the vice-president down to the most humble garlic consumer. She does everything but lay the roads herself; and Helen- well, being president of the Gudebrod Silk Company, she believes in getting right down to the bottom of things, even to personally inspiring the worms. "Peggie Harper, the famous international sports figure, has just returned from England, bringing home the proverbial bacon in the shape of sports trophies. "I wonder what I did with that clipping about Jean MacKay. Oh, yes, here it is!" Jean MacKay, one of the foremost dietitians in the state, has just been appointed director of public heal h. Her work in the field of dietetics has been so outstanding that the city council feels thatit cannot really be overlooked, and so has decided to give her a position where her activities will be chiefly devoted to making speeches.

"I heard Margaret Deaver broadcasting yesterday saying something about 'adding an egg' on the cooking school of the air. Speaking of the radio, I'd almost forgotten that Barbara Mason broadcasts every Sunday and tickles the ivories most competently while the orchestra puffs along trying to keep up with her. "Are you having heart trouble? Then consult Eleanor Frorer, the eminent heartbalm specialist, Dorothy Dix's most deadly rival. "Let me advise you to read Marion Snyder's new book on poetry. You will remember that she is the writer of that soul-stirring sonnet, 'Heartburn.' She and Elizabeth Browning!! " While I'm on the subject of authoresses, Anne Chiquoine must be mentioned, too. She has just published the twelfth volume in her series on child psychology, after only two years of kindergarten teaching. Well, Annie, you are good!

"Let's see what's happening in the way of society. Oh, yes, the J. Wellington Hunters are giving a tea in honor of their son, Pierce, on his return from a duck hunting trip in the wilds of Lansdowne. "I've just received a letter from that indomitable pair, Jane Callender and Sara Dickinson, asking me to contribute to the Can You Spare a Dime Charities, Inc. Jane is an excellent haunter and Sara is certainly an efficient partner. She supplies the poor with Lifebuoy soap, long underwear and umbrellas. They tell me that there's a new deal in sight for orphanages, now that Betty Shearer has become superintendent of the 'Bidea-wee Orphanage.' No more gingham uniforms, and ice cream and movies twice a week. "I saw Ruth Tyndale, whose married name I never can remember, taking little Ruth to have her teeth untangled. She was telling me about not being able to train her rambling rose to ramble up the side of her cottage. "As a guide to beauty I must tell you that Betty Bleakley has just introduced a new liquid powder (so safe that it can be used in the care of babies) which is promising to become one of the most famous of her 'In-door Girl' products. "I know you all patronize Mme. Doris Fish, coiffeurist, whose impressive motto: 'not six months, a lifetime' helps to abolish the bothersome permanent wave. What a boon she is to those with hair which responds too easily to the forces of gravity! Surely she and the naturalistic tendencies deserve three cheers! "Anita Cartaya's pigs recently won the All-Georgia championship for the biggest 'hams' at the state fair although Steve Nash's corn-fed porkies gave her's a hard battle. Then, too, Emily Edgerton and her trained cows put on a benefit performance every Saturday night on her Virginia farm. I heard that, owing to their great popularity, she and her cows are thinking seriously of going on a cross-country tour. "The other day I heard that Alma Richards is teaching Patou of Paris a few things about clothes, and that Doris Healy was extremely unhappy, trying to choose between two loves, the old and the new. "That seems to be about all the important news, my dear radio audience, and as a parting shot, let me say that early marriage can be made a success as was proven by David P. Flaccus. Dave is now the proud father of twins!- that makes eight. Need I say who the lucky mother is?

workers. Mr. Byrne escaped unharmed, but Richard Harris, guest speaker, was seriously manhandled by the irate crowd and forced to swallow several pints of ale. "Detroit, Mich.- J. William Kitchen, president of the Kitchen Motors Corporation, has announced the perfection of a new automobile by his company. In this new motor car is built additional poise, improved one-ann steering, and more room for your feet. Included as standard equipment are air-conditioned tires, guaranteed knockless kneeaction, and ultra-violet glass installed throughout- just another milestone passed by the automobile. "Belleville, Pa.- The famous one-man strike of Wilbur Johnston is still in progress on the I. C. Runner hosiery mill. Factory workers accused Johnston of loafing and living off his wife's money. "Philadelphia, Pa.- Several persons were arrested last night at the Arena as a result of a wrestling match which almost precipitated /I -.....__ a riot. Among those taken into custody were: Dr. Frederick V\1iese, ' -'distinguished professor of languages at the University of Pennsyl~ /) vania, William L. Eliason, prominent Philadelphia lumber dealer, - ~ and William Johnson, renowned Camden shipbuilder. Mr. Johnson ~ is alleged to have bounced a chair off the head of Ernie Dusek, one of the wrestlers. So excited was Dr. Wiese that a cordon of firemen was necessary to separate him from the wrestler. "Norristown, Pa.- After years of untiring research, Richard Berkes, chief brewmaster of the famous Burpee Brewery of this city, has developed a new process whereby the head of beer is completely removed, leaving no unpleasant foam to splatter the toper's beard. To quote Mr. Berkes: 'We feel certain that the removal of this tremendous overhead will completely revolutionize the beer industry.' "New York City.- Lewis Callaghan, eminent critic on Grecian art, has advanced the latest theory on what became of the arms of Venus de Milo. In his lecture delivered to a gathering of distinguished sculptors, Mr. Callaghan concluded that the absence of arms from the famous statue was not due to the mishandling by Jupiter or Vulcan, but that she was merely the victim of an ancient disarmament program. "Washington, D. C.- At the request of Ed Wingert, offce boy in the International Correspondence School, Postmaster-General Beeler has proposed a bill to the House for the flavoring of the gum on postage stamps. If the bill survives the President's veto, we shall soon be tasting strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, or even raspberry on the backs of our stamps. "Philadelphia, Pa.- A climax was reached today in the matrimonial fight between George Ewing, Broadway playboy, and one Mimi O'Brien, Philadelphia chorine, when Miss Maxine Janis, Ewing's second divorcee, presented a damaging testimony against him. Henry Edmunds, prominent local attorney for Ewing's third wife, is confident that divorce will be granted with $30,000 (plus tax) alimony to his client on the grounds of heart-balm.

C.- Much confusion was caused here during a parade of the lllth Post of the American Legion when it was delayed due to tampering with the Legion's musical instruments. Several hours elapsed before all the grapefruits were extracted from the band's trumpets. Officials believe it the work of communists. Patrolman Charles Fox arrested several suspects, one of which, after shaving off his disguise, proved to be none other than Prof. Edwin Muller, of Michigan University, notorious communistic leader. "Chicago, Ill.- The scientific world was startled today by the cracking open of the Einstein theory by Dr. Charles Snyder who, by use of his high-frequency operating relativascope, proved that the magno-electronic particles do travel in straight lines. "And now, news from the world of sports. "The rumor that Manager Warren Talbot of the Athletics was considering selling George Statzell, famous American League first-baseman, was denied by Talbot in a statement to the press asserting that he would sell no player, not even to buy a new tin roof for Shibe Park. "The all-professional eastern football team has just been compiled.

Tomorro w Oh, happy child of l;;esterday, jare happier days to come? :J{ow time has pressed us .from these cloistered halls Where Youth was bom; ah, now a furtive teard1·op falls, .And sadness steals o'er my heart ctnd st1·ilces me dumb. Ghildhood now is gone .fm·ever, gone its joys and pain, (}one its naive laughter, gone its joyous love of min. .At last the broad horizon of tomorrow spreads befm·e us, .And we stand upon the brinlc of life doomed to leap, Yet we a1·e a little afmid of the future, for befm·e us, We lcnow lie many hidden evils that may somehow keep Us f1·om the goal we long ago had set our hearts upon: .Ah, too much teems permanent that on the morrow is gone!
.Among us there may be thosewho willharken to the cry 'I'hat calls man 1'nto the dubious battle for manlcind: Others will seelc happiness in lines and paints that d1·y, Others yet will seek in books and manuscripts to find 'I'hat which all men seek, that certain happiness of bje, 'I'hat comes but to men who live with a minimum of str~fe . :Afemo1·y is deep, and the heart is kind, and so the past, 'I'hese happy years we've spent together, will not be concealed, 'jlut now at last, before we go, hold together .fast Our hands and lnww that the best is ahead, to be revealed. EDWIN Jon "SON MULLER.
Class Poem In 1936, Our class will leave this school 'I'o .face a future, which many others have faced, 'I'o become a real, fighting, citizen of the United States. We will enter college life, with its new fields of learning, .And obtain in our minds and bodies the glories of b'fe.
In 1940, We will go out into the world to enter it vi1·tually, 'I'o seek perhaps the same goals we sought after in Friends' Gentral. 'jlut in a different and more mature manner, We shall realize that after college comes harder work, 'jlaclced by a school we love, of f1·iendship, fellowship and learning.
In 1937, We shall reali·;:e what our high school l1je meant to us, What we have to lookbackon and to remember, Our buildings standing e1·ect amid masses of trees, Our athletic fields played upon by oncoming senwrs Playing the same schools we have played and being as good sports.
I n 1936, You, the students who are following behind us, Fight hard for the goals you must achieve, 'I'alee our place as we leave these doors, .,(ive up to the standards and morals of this, our school. 'jle students, good sports, but most of all, be your selves.

Washington Trip HO says that bus rides aren't fun? Certainly no one who went to Washington! When Mr. and Mrs. Crouch had counted all twenty-two noses, we were off and to a wonderful start. March 30th couldn't have been nicer. We just couldn't resist stopping at Aberdeen, so we did. From there we went on to the Lord Baltimore Hotel, where we aroused plenty of curiosity and had lunch. After leaving the Lord Baltimore we started on our last stretch, and, after what seemed about an hour, we arrived at the Continental Hotel, unpacked our things and went out to see Mt. Vernon. Probably the first funny thing that happened was when Mary Mulligan mistook a very old man at Mt. Vernon for a statue. She stared at him for auite a while and was almost convinced of this fact, when he moved. My , how disconcerting! At dinner that evening, Harry Byrne named the waiter at his table Rastus and Bill Johnson ordered "cow-hooch" for everyone. When Rastus found out that "cow-hooch" was milk he grinned and went quietly on his way. That evening we went to see " Petticoat Fever." The vaudeville lasted so long that we thought "Petticoat Fever" would never come our wa~r-but it did! On the way back to the hotel we bought food and had a wonderful feed in Mary's, Bettie's and Sara's room. It was delicious if spreading butter on bread with a nail flle didn't make one sick. Surprisingly enough we went to bed about one o'clock and slept silently until about sixthirty, when Edgie felt that it was her duty to wake us up. Her interest in our welfare was most appreciated. After breakfast we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the White House, and the Capitol, where we climbed to the dome. In the afternoon we attended a session of the Senate and visited the Supreme Court. Our elaborate plans for climbing the Washington Monument were somewhat changed because we had not anticipated climbing the Capitol dome, and two climbs in one day seemed like an awful lot, so, like sissies we went up on an elevator. Upon arriving at the top Doris Healy demonstrated to us how to measure the velocity of the wind. That evening we were allowed to go to visit friends or to the movies, so we more or less divided into groups. Wednesday morning Eleanor Frorer was awakened at six o'clock and told that she was wanted on the downstairs phone. She dressed quickly and hurried downstairs only to be told by Herb Clegg, who had had the same joke played on him, that it was an April Fool's joke. Later some of us went shopping while others visited the Pan-American Building, the Bureau of Fisheries, the Red Cross Building and the National Smithsonian Institute. In the afternoon we went to St. Alban 's Cathedral, the Lee Mansion and the Arlington Cemetery. Wednesday night was our last chance to have fun so most of us went to the movies. Then when we got back to the hotel the girls got a blanket and ran up and down the hall, bouncing in it, any poor classmate who was in the mood. To climax the evening's mischief the house detective paid us a little visit (none to friendly ), and after he had given us a lecture on hotel etiquette five of us sat up all night. On April ~nd we started home by way of Annapolis and although we were terribly tired, we managed to see everything. Mr. and Mrs. Crouch were grand chaperons and Frank, the bus driver, was funny and obliging. Wn"tten by BETTY SHEARER.

HE senior class broke out in a dramatic display of talent this year. Besides sund~·y monolog,~es and assembly talks, the members produc_ed two very amusmg plays. I he first, a one-act play by Zona Gale, TheJ\{.etghbors; and the second, the annual senior play, a comedy in three acts, entitled, J:...?fe 'Begins at Six·teen, by Hilda Manning. Mrs. Flick'sdrama class presentedJV.eighbors last February, and thecastmade the audience roll in the aisles with laughter, figuratively speaking, by their clever characterizations. Doris Fish and Anita Cartaya, the grandmother and mother, respectively, both starred in character parts. The other parts were well porb·ayed by Mary Berkes, '38, Betty Shearer, Virginia Chambers, Barbara Mason, Charles Kater, and Ed Marsh. On Friday evening, May the eighth, the seniors blazed forth in a three-act "blues-chaser" with a cast of fifteen. Mrs. Flick again directed and brought us through the hazards of diction, action, staging, and noises off stage, so successfully, that the cast was requested to perform the play again after the Alumni Banquet on May 22d. The plot was very light and amusing and consisted of the conduct of a bunch of sixteen-year-old kids in their parents' absence. In spite of the fact that our cast had to employ the use of the books during rehearsal, the night before the performance, much to the dismay of our coach, it went off beautifully with next to no prompting needed. The cast included: George Ewing as hero Paul Hollis; buoyant Ann Chiquoine as Paul's twin sister, Frannie Hollis; Doris Fish as the mother, Mrs. Hollis; Warren Talbot as the omnipotent father, Mr. Hollis; Dorcas Ann Dutrow, bringing in the element of romance as eighteen-year-old Marjorie Hollis; Ruth Tyndale, the class midget, as the eight-year-old neighborhood pest, Snookie Hollis; and the inimitable Ginny Chambers as the Hollis's dumb Swede maid, Hilda. George Gordon, the twentyone-year-old manager of Mr. Hollis's shoe store, played by Lewis Callaghan, and the villain, Crandal Smythe, portrayed by our baby-faced Herb Clegg, also supported the element of romance with much bravado and fisticuffs! Theo Arbuckle, Boots Benett, Daisie Jenkins, Pidgie Miller, and Fattie Zimmer, all members of the "Secret Seven" were played by Henry Edmunds, Eleanor Demmert, Helen Gudebrod, Doris Healy, and Ed Marsh, respectively. Last, but not least, the little lady who saved the day in the final act, Elsie Taggart, was played by Jean MacKay. Whilst we're passing around the posies let us not forget our loyal classmate, Charles Snyder, without whose untiring aid behind the stage our play would not have been the success that it was. And soThree Cheers for Mrs. Flick and the Class of '36! THE EDITOR.

Hockey Season
A
FTER this year's hockey season was over and we added up the games won and lost, we found that we hadn't done too well. However, we won more than half our games and even though the scores don't show it, the year was very successful in many ways. Both the team members and Miss Blackburn feel that a lot really was accomplished towards the making of an unbeatable team either for next year or for the year following. There has never been a team that responded more quickly to calls from the coach and captain for cooperation and teamwork, and because of this fact there is no single player who stands out as a star. All in the line-up deserve equal credit. The games won were with Friends' Select, Baldwin, Holman, Stevens, and the Alumnae, with a tie with Irwins. Moorestown, Springside, Westtown and Abington were all lost with very close scores. The second team maintained its wonderful record, being undefeated again this year.

HIS year the girls' basketball team has been more than successful. Of the many games played we lost but one; the games won were all true victories. We defeated Sacred Heart, our neighbors; Holman, Saywards, Friends' Select, Springside and Lower Hill. We lost to Morristown Friends'. The success of the season was due mainly to the unselfishness of the players and the almost perfect coordination of pa ses; also a great deal of the credit goes to Miss Blackburn, our coach. The Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes were all represented on the first team. Although three varsity players are graduating, those remaining will form a strong backbone for the team next year.

Lacrosse Season
T
HE Lacrosse season was particularly successful this year. The swiftness and vitality of the game brought many new players as well as old out at the beginning of the season so that we had quite a large number of girls competing. Although we did not win our first two games, the playing was commendable. Our first game of the season was with Germantown Friends' and we lost 1- 0 after a hard-fought battle, as we also lost to Swarthmore High School. Our third game was a victory and a very worthy one. Our opponent was Springside School and the game ended 11- 1, with Friends' Central in the lead. We next played the Agnes Irwin School, an old rival, which brought in another victory for F. C. S. lassies. The season, as a whole, was excellent and much praise is to be given to the hardworking attacks and equally as instrumental defense players.

HE football season of 1935 brought to Friends' Central one of the strongest defensive teams ever to represent this school. Only injuries prevented this team from gaining top position in the lnteracademic League. However, the misfortunes which followed the team could not keep it from the fine record of three wins, four ties, and one defeat. Under the leadership of Captain Heller, the Blue and Gray swept aside Roxborough in its first outside game by the decisive score of 19 to 0. The next game gound a renewal of the historical feud between Penn Charter and the Blue and Gray of Friends' Central. Forthcoming events were prophesied as the always dangerous Charter team battled the charges of Coach Crate into a 0 to 0 tie. The next two games, with Germantown Academy and Episcopal Academy, found the Friends' eleven marching up and down the field but never gaining enough strength to push over a deciding score and both games ended in scoreless ties. Bryn Athyn was the victim of the hidden spring which released the offensive strength of the Friends' Central eleven, as the boys put on a real scoring deluge to bury the opposition by a score of Q.5 to 6. The Blue and Gray suffered their initial defeat the following week, as a strong Chestnut Hill team took the crippled Crate eleven by surprise, the final score reading 7 to 18. The last league game of the season found the Friends' team opposing the powerful rush of the Haverford School eleven. Possessing one of the best teams in the league, Haverford was surprised, outfought, and outgained in a game which ended in the typical 0 to 0 tie. George School provided the opposition in the season's last game and the City Line eleven closed the season with a brilliant victory by a score of 12 to 6.

Basketball Season
T
HE prospects of the 1936 basketball team were made up by a group of promising candidates from last year's team. The only new candidate to this squad was Dick Beeler, who proved useful in close games. From this squad Coach Crate developed a team that was able to win nine out of a fifteen-game schedule. Furthermore, Friends' Central, with only two league defeats, won second place in the Interacademic League race. Nevertheless, this experienced squad had a hard time finding itself and dropped the first three games: Merchantville, 39-~0; Overbrook, ~6-19; and Triangle A. A., 30-~1. However, the Blue and Gray soon came out of this losing streak and won our first game with Olney High, the score being close, ~5-~4. Immediately after the Olney game the team showed its best form of the year in defeating Drexel J. V., 35-~6; and the first two league games from Germantown Academy, 40-~9; and Germantown Friends', 3~-16. Friends' Central, after two straight wins, went down to defeat at the hands of Penn Charter after an extra period, ~6-~3. Bill Fischer was high scorer for the losers with nine points. The following week the team staged a comeback and took Haverford by the score of ~9-23. George Trotter took the high point honors by scoring ten points. The next three tilts of the Blue and Gray resulted in two wins and one defeat, losing to Chestnut Hill, 31 -~6, but winning from Episcopal, ~6-18, and Montgomery, 36-~9 . George ~chool set the Cratemen back by a 33 to 31 defeat. The two remaining games proved easy for the varsity, winning from the Faculty, 48-~6, and the Alumni, 35-~9. The first team was made up of Captain Ben Statz ell and "Butch" Marsh at guards, George Trotter at center, Bill Fischer and Dave Flaccus or Dick Beeler at forwards.

Soccer Season
U
PON remembering the season of 1935, I think the members of the varsity soccer team will feel that even though they did not gain the championship, they probably reaped more benefit than the team that did, for they had a great deal of enjoyment. They won only one game, being defeated by close scores in all the other encounters, and with the deciding tallies invariably being scored against them in the two final periods. Mr. Nicholson considers this year's team one of the best he has ever coached at Friends' Central. He states that the forward line was one of the finest he has ever had under his tutelage. The backfield was also very strong, with such members as Captain Dave Flaccus, Harry Byrne, and George Ewing playing active parts. Dave, starting the season as left fullback, was shifted to the center halfback position when Harry Byrne was forced to resign that post because of a muscle injury.

Baseball Season
T
HE Baseball Team of 1936 is one which has possibilities. Although a number of its members are lower classmen, the team has shown a vast improvement over last year's team. The team is composed of four seniors, three of whom saw action on last year's varsity, three juniors, and last but not least, two sophomores. Its record for the present campaign has been an enviable one; that is, it has had a successful beginning. ThP first two games were won by rallies in the late innings by the score of 7- 5. The third game, the George School game, was a "slugfest" with the Blue and Gray emerging the victor. With Bill Blair hurling splendid ball for the last five innings, the Centralites staged an uphill struggle climaxed by a last inning rally and downed the best team played so far during the campaign, Perkiomen School, by a score of 6- 5. In the meantime, Coach Douglas Crate has arranged practice games to further the experience of the boys. The Interacademic League opens on April 24th, and Friends' Central aims to win its share of the glory.

HE Track Team got off with a flying start in its first meet, outrunning and outjumping the Germantown Friends' team. With a nucleus from last year's squad, which includes: Bill Monroe, who competes in the one-hundred and two-hundred and twenty-yard dashes; Bud Kohler, who has been winning in the shotput and Bill Johnson, half-miler. Mr. Scull has built up a squad of new members and boys borrowed from the baseball and lacrosse teams. Among the new members of the team are: J'ack Bye, who has been getting firsts in the quarter-mile and the broad jump; Ben Perkins and Edgar Massey, sophomores, specialize in the pole vault and the half-mile, respectively. Dick Beeler, borrowed from the baseball team is always good for a place in the one-hundred and two-hundred and twenty-yard dashes. Art Wagner and Walt Kohler, recruits from the lacrosse squad, have been getting places in the half-mile and mile. In the Germantown Friends' meet, George · McGinley, a lacrosse player, surprised everyone by getting a good second place in a hard-fought mile. Other members of the squad are: George Major, pole vaulter; George Trotter and Herb Clegg, high jumpers, and Henry Edmunds, quarter-miler. After such a fine start in their first meet the team will surely have a successful season.
