To our mind one of the most serious members of the senior class 1 Jim nevertheless possesses an undercurrent vein of humor which courses to the surface occasionally augmenting the likeability of his character. His work is machinelike in regularity 1 and although he speaks little1 his philosophy is deep and well-founded. Entered: Senior Teams: Football 1 Track Next Year: Penn State

WILLIAM JAMES BLAIR "Bill" 1019 Allston Road, Brookline, Pa.
"For Satan Finds some mischief still for idle hands to do" Bill finds time occasionally to rest from building himself up, and to study. Although he is possessed of uncommon literary ability, he seldom avails himself of it, preferring to haunt the wrestling ring in the winter and the pitcher's box in the milder weather. At both he turns in a good job, and if this earnestness of purpose can permeate his other interests , his future presence should be felt in other realms than sport.

"There is no great genius without a mixture of madness" Paul will undoubtedly go down in the annals of the school as one of its most outstanding Rashes. Time and again he has demonstrated his wit by the rapidity with which he absorbed difficult scientific material or dashed off a theme. His manner is not scholarly, however; he has, in fact, given evidence of a most healthy pair of lungs and an aptitude for knocking over tables and sundry furniture. If sheer brilliance is a requisite of success, his future is assured.

MAIN ENTRANCE- UPPER SCHOOL
SALUTATORY rHERE have been many Class Days at Friends' Central, but
lI
this one is the most important one of all to you and to us .
It is "OUR" Class Day.
Therefore, we want all of you,
our parents, friends, and faculty, who have been intimately associated with us, who know us at our best and at our worst, we want you to join us and help us make this Class Day lay rich foundations for our memories of this grand place that has become so much more than just a school.
This setting of trees
and lawns and quiet buildings is now slowly evolving into a background from which we are going to gather the materials for the patterns of our I ives. We speak to you today of our sincere gratitude, but we well realize that in a larger sense it remains for us to present genuine evidence of it in another way.
We hope to do this
by proving through faithful service to the ideals which we as members of this Friends' School cherish and by their application, not only in our own lives but as they relate to others. Irma Friedrich.

VALEDICTORY
A
LL of us have encountered at some time or other examples of cooperation in
~ the world which surrounds us . Whether it be the cooperation on the ~ield of sport, or the cooperation of nations in foreign affairs, or the cooperation
o f our various governmental bodies in the administration of our national affairs, in each case the example has stood out to us plainly, showing the encouraging ~ine effects of mutual aid and working together . The example above all other examples which is striking to us students as we leave Friends' Central, is the one that has been personi~ied by our school life, which is so soon to end.
Not only has our school developed to a full extent a cooperation between
students and teachers, but also it has brought a third group into the picture: the parents . This triangle, consisting of the student, the teacher, and the parent, has been constantly functioning in our schools, a triangle of cooperation,
Each vertex has a duty to perform,
a duty toward the well-being of the other two . Two of the vertices of the triangle have completed the ful~illment of their dutiesi as a result we graduating students have been educated and prepared for I ife by the combined efforts of our parents and our teachers . Their part of the bargain has been ful~i\\ed: the parents have made our education possible, and the faculty has cMried it out, making the possibility a reality . But wherein does the student's duty lie? supported our school loyally?
Is it that in the past we have always
This is part of it, yes, only a small part.
contribution to the triangle lies ahead .
Our greatest
Our parents and teachers have been awaiting
the time when we are ready to leave Friends' Central and emerge into the outside world . This time has come, and our success in the future is the payment they expect.
Every
student that rises to success, whether it be ~inancial or otherwise, is a personal tribute to Friends ' Central School, and the parents and teachers who have helped to develop him . If we succeed they (our parents and teachers) will know that their work has not been in vain . That will make them successes, and what greater reward is there for a person's e ffort than achievement of his purpose or purposes? How small our obligation is!
For we do not have to sacrike anything to fu\~i\1 it,
as our parents and faculty di~ in making our education a possibility and a reality . Small as it is, we promise that this duty to our school , our parents, and ourselves, this essential vertex which completes the Friends' Central School triangle of cooperation , shall not be o verlooked .
With this promise we say good-bye to the teachers, lowerclassmen, and
beautiful campus of our school. Edward Flaccus.
CAMPUS AND MAIN BUILDING
CLASS HISTORY
A
BOUT a dozen years ago a jolly little band of rascals formed the n·ucleus of the 1938: Marie-Louise de Long, Jacqueline McConaughey, Trudell Green, Nancy Schranz, Edgar Massey, and Frank Fleming were its constituents. Those early days were certainly happy ones, no cares, no worries, no sorrows, and, incidentally, no homework. ~ Class of
Our second year was rudely interrupted by the arrival of the future class applepolisher, David J. Mather. Overcoming this obstacle, we stumbled into the third grade. Here several new members joined our rollicking, frolicky band. They were Charlotte Werner, Betly Frorer, Bill Blair, and Dick Stern. In this year we ventured into the social whirl with those unforgettable parties of Frances Pewi "Remember?" Also in the third grade our dramatic insensibilities bubbled to the surface when Kitty Chambers, Jacqueline McConaughey, Billy Blair, and little Dave Mather starred in that gigantic Viking production, "King Olaf." In the very capable cast we found those two tiny, timid, tantalizing tots, Nancy Schranz and Edgar Massey. Skipping into fourth grade we gathered two more members, Betsy Williams and Arnold Smolens. Both were accomplished bull-tossers even then. In the fifth year we acquired Molly Boileau. Fifth grade was really an eventful one. This year we transported ourselves back into the Midle Ages, and the classroom was transformed to represent a medieval guild hall. The boys wanted to make a castle, but, outnumbered by the girls, as usual, they made Iittle tapestries instead of swords and spears. As the boys waxed to their work, however, they even enjoyed the novel sensation of daintily punching a needle through a cloth. Also in this year the class started searching for those rumored secret passages that honeycomb the school. In the next year we found outselves in the last class of the Lower School, we became sixth graders, and our n:>t so little class took on Dorothy Schock Irene Reiger, Maurie Gieg and Peggie Faires. Up:>n leaving the days of carefree youth we presented an electric clock (it still runs) to the Lower School as a small token of our many pleasant memories there. Thirsting for knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, we entered the Upper School as seventh graders and here were confronted with those little white cards of Miss Day's History Class, another "Remember?" Our new members that year were Miriam Barnes, Adele Daisey, Fred Nolde, Paul Saxer, and Jack "Spencer Tracy" Gilger. Adjusting ourselves to the routine and homework, we passed on to the eighth grade. Here we obtained even more new members: tmma Schell, Jane Lippincott, Jane Powers, Mary Birtwe\1, Virginia Jackson, Harriet Cooke, Edward Flaccus, and Howard Miller.
Now we entered into the academic life in earnest as we became freshmen with the accent on the first syllable. This year we had an influx of Germantownites: Norma Force, Iva Goehring, those mysterious, mystifying Kohouts, Anna, and Kathryn, Alma Meyer, Irma Friedrich, Emily Sylvester, Anna" "say-it-with-flowers" Kuhn, and three not from Germantown, Faith Slevin, Marianne Hiller, and Betty Wagner. As all good freshmen should, we spent a quiet, studious year and passed into the sophomore class. This year we blossomed forth socially, after having received Gloria Young, Betty MacKay, Mary Berkes, Doletha Watt, and Bob Steinhilber into the fold, and we recognized the dance as a form of amusement, not exercise. Two of the outstanding events were Nancy's party at the P. A. C. and the memorable sophomore hop at Marie-Louise's. And, sad to say, even as sophisticated sophomores, the girls were sti IIi n quest of the secret passages. The class motored into the junior year, hanging onto .Howdy Miller's "Merry Oldsmobile." Here we were joined by Kitty O'Hey, Virginia Killey, Mary Jennings, and Ruth Homan . Firmly established as business men, we haggled over the classs ring and triumphantly sported our signet of victory. At long last the boys and the girls organized under the banner of the "Chalif Dance Assemblies, Ltd ." We introduced swing into our institution in the form of an unforgettable musical comedy. The serious side of our dramatic abilities and linguistic achievements was magnificently manifested in Ia production francaise, "Le Voyage de M. Perrichon," in which the "Ed's" Flaccus and Massey were able rival suitors. Also, by the grace of God and four hundred dollars, the class apples could once more be polished by smiling Dave Mather, who returned to us from Washington, after having left in sixth grade. Recovering from a jolly junior year we metamorphosed into a silly seniorhood, which was drastically deflated by the departure of Don "High laugh" Edgerton, who went to peddle his mischief-making at Peddie. His place was more than filled by "Jake, the Fake" Townsend, Ted "Euclid" Marks, James "Calm down, fellows" Bradin, and James "No speakum word" Bates. Marsh, Statzell, Munroe, and Hallowell, liking the atmosphere at F. C. S. and trying to recapture their youth, returned to spend the year with us. The new contingent in the girls' section consisted of Virginia Steins, Mary Jane Hutton, Cornelia Greeby, and Doris Fisher. The senior prom, under the guiding hand of "Senator" Arnold "let's-form-a-committee" Smolens, while a financial white elephant, was a howling success socially. The second half of our senior year was consumed rapidly by the "Record Book," that unforgettable Washington Trip, senior essays, and countless other senior duties preparatory for our graduation.

GIRLS' CLASS PROPHECY August 5, 1948. Dear Charlotte, Congratulations on your new nursc:>ry school.
knew that you had always hoped
for this and now that you have realized it, I want to be the ~irst to enroll my triplets for I am sure that you will take good care of them, especially since Jane Lippincott, Betty Brearly, and Ruth Homan are helping you.
It will seem like old times when I see
you all again for I've seen or heard from almost everyone else in about the past month I suppose you have seen the new issue of "Vogue" Magazine and that section completely given to creative designs by Margaretta Geegie (remember Maurie)? Leave it to her.
And it all started when she won that "Vogue" contest.
I read an article in the "Stage" Magazine by Virginia Steins, the noted dramatic critic, about the Marie Jennings ballet troup. mendous success .
Her review the other night was a tre-
The scenery created by Harriet Cooke and Betsy Williams and cos-
tumes by Betty MacKay, just made you feel the atmosphere.
We hear that Miss Jennings'
executive secretary is none other than good old Betty Wagner.
Friends' Central, '38,
is certainly taking its place in the world . If you didn't hear Iva Goehring's opening night last Friday, on Betty Frorer's wave set program, by all means don't miss it! we do without television?
Fanny Brice had nothing on her.
What would
And also for goodness sake, don't miss Emma Schell's and
Norma Force's cooking lessons at 6:30 Friday mornings; you'll have everything in it but the kitchen stove. The other day I went back to old Friends' Central (which is still going on in spite of our leaving) and the place is literally swarming with secretaries .
Remember Mary
Birtwell, Adele Daisey, and Mary Jane Hutton? Well, they're all carrying on the good work and I also saw Jac McConaughey running the art studio and Virginia Killey loosing her voice in the library trying to keep a study hall in order. I have just been reading about a tea that was held at the Warwick last Saturday. It must have been quite an affair for the catering was done by Dorothy Shock and there were many well known society women there among whom were : Alma Meyer, who is still the best dressed woman in Philadelphia, Marianne Hiller, who poured, Virginia Jackson, who has just returned from her tenth trip abroad, Marie Louise Delong , who
incidentally still has chills, Nancy Schranz, who is in love for the fifty-second time this year, Gloria Young, who abandoned her side-saddle for a Cord, and sped up from Florida just for the altair, and Emilie Sylvester, who has made a name for herself in the field of child psychology, gave a talk on "How to Scratch Your Baby's Back." Last Tuesday, while outfitting the triplels for school, I ran into Jane Powers (never can remember her married name) absorbed in gelting Junior ready for school. I got a letter from Kit Chambers and she's happily situated in Hawaii, teaching ping-pong to the Hula-Hula dancers. Speaking of athletics, Molly Boileau is killing time playing All-American hockey while waiting for her International Fellowship and the twins(That Daredeviling Duo) are competing in the six-day bike race held at Madison Square Gardens. The big problem though is which twin is riding and which twin is resting. They got their big send-df from Anna Kuhn, who is still saying it with flowers. Berkes and Ed finally called it a day and were married last month. The wedding was scheduled for 10:30 A. M. and Berkes arrived at noon. Even late for her own wedding. Incidentally, the newly-weds' love cottage was decorated on the interior by the Irene Rieger "fix-it-up-cute" establishment. At last Peggy Faires has heard from her long lost uncle and is spending the summer bucking bronchos on his western ranch. Faith Slevin is still an ardent ice hockey fan?????!!!! and never misses an event. Friends' Central seems to be taking Washington as well as Philadelphia by storm, for I've heard that Irma Friedrich is rubbing elbows with the President and Trudell Green is his foreign correspondent, while Doletha Watt has just published her sixth volume of poetry and a monument is being erected in her honor in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey next to Longfellow's. Another notable in our midst, Miriam Barnes has recently been granted a patent for her "Hatch-em-quick" incubator which she has been using for years on her farm. By the way Charlotte, if you have nothing planned for next Wednesday, how would you like to go into Doris Fisher's and Neal Greeby's tea room "The Dorneal?"

Bestest Love, Kitty O'Hey.
REPORT OF A RESEARCH EXHIBITION by Professor N. P. Lasnorsmorfel
2500 A . D.
M
Y EXPEDITION into the vast forests of eastern Pennsylvania in search of a reported lost civilization was successful to an uncommon degree. This culture was reputedly the institution of a class of progressive students from an age-old school which was sprouting new hair, Friends' Central. Particularly resr::onsible for this growth was a group which was graduated in 1938, whose records we unearthed, and whose positions in society were both interesting and varied . Apparently a regular computation of their progress was taken, for we found a document written in 1958, by a rather brilliant moron of the class whose journalistic sallies were known in every alley, and who was also the class secretary, Paul Saxer. The following is a transcript of the time-yellowed writing. "The class is all agog over the gala opening of Bill Monroe's swanky new nightery, the Cafe de Ia Rope . Truly it was a great commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of graduation. That famous head waiter, Dirty-apron Jake Townsend, of Sloppy Joe's Beanery for the Elite in New York, lent his expert advice for the celebration . Don Fraser, scciety's saviour, just opened up fourteen new free kitchens for homeless dogs. In addition, he still finds time to be the Salvation Army's chief Santa Claus at Christmas time, but he hasn't been able to get down a chimney for 15 years . That Philadelphia playboy, Dave Mather, having become the only ice cream dealer in the world to sell the Eskimos frozen custard, now employs ten men to keep his hobby collection of polished apples shining . Their brilliance outstrips even the Palace of Mirrors at Coney Island . An extraordinary chain of events involved several members of the class in the past year. Admiral Benjamin L. Statzell, of the Drexel Hill Statzells, lost in a fog after important war games, decided to have a twenty-one gun salute in hopes of blowing himself out into the clear again . Unfortunately, the admiral's mind was blank and the shells weren't, with disastrous results to the inland grazing acreage of that prominent gentleman farmer-Ouaker, Henry Hallowell. Furthermore, the shock caused Hank to forget how many triples Joe Vosmik hit in 1937, and three hundred of dairyman John Gilger's prize milk-giving goats, which were grazing on the farm , were also destroyed . They initiated suit against the government, but that brilliant barbarian of the bar, Arnold Smolens, so skillfully defended the admiral's actions with a flow of doublebarrelled consonants and vitriolic vocabulary thal the confused scil-tillers were forced into defeat. Howard Miller got so used to washing his yellow ' monarch of the miles' that he
decided to go into the car washing business . Now his new Beauty-Buggy-Bath accommodates thousands of car owners daily. Howdy adds a personal touch by soaping behind the ears of each child which is brought to him . Fairy's Breath, that exotically scented new soap, fresh from the factories of Charles Heed, is used exclusively. Bill Blair, grand high potentate of the National Y. M . C. A. , is still building himself up. His recent endorsement of Munchy-Wunchies as the ideal breakfast food has started thousands of children adding 'bulk' to their diets. 'Doc' Ed Flaccus, the beanpole of biology at Haverford College, has started to feed Munchy-Wunchies to the basketball team there which he coaches . His enviable record includes beatings by the best c: s well as the worst teams in the coun try. That smiling center fielder, Rolfe Marsh , the only ball player who uses a motorcycle, has revolutionized baseball again . Friday is now Men's Day instead of Ladies' Day because the women jam the parks every other day of the week to watch their hero cavort and frolic in the outer gardens . Manager Fred Nolde of the Athletics says that without a doubt Butch is the best hitter on his team, but he hits too many line drives to the catcher. The fastest human being, Ted Marks, broke the world's record for the hundred-yard d ash again last week in the phenomenal time of five seconds . Somebody stuck a goose feather in his pants and he took off, flying over the distance with the speed of light. Ed Massey, the nation's leading sport's commE-ntator, says that Marks' form is perfect, but admits he likes that of Marlene Dietrich more. The only man whose moustache has tickled girls from Broadway to the Golden Gate, Massey still amuses little children with his stories- when their mothers aren't around . Dr. Frank Fleming , the psychiatrist, who was called in to examine the famous sleepingwalking sickness case of the great steamship executive, James Bates, has rendered a verdict. He says the patient is perfectly all right, but his clam-like attitude has rendered him voiceless . Thus another mystery of the ages has been solved. Jim Bradin is still going steady when not playing his records for some dance hall . Known as the Dictator of the Discs, he still boosts the Casa Lama orchestra , though it is now directed by that swing king of the test tubes , Dick Stern. Thus this report is closed with every one accounted for but that renowned world ad venturer, Robert Steinhilber. When last heard from , he was with the diving natives at the Steel Pier, singing 'Pennies from Heaven,' as he retrieved the coppers cast into the water by tourists." I submit this transcript for approval to the board with my expression that here undoubtedly was an illustrious group, well worthy of the plaudits of even such an advanced civilization as ours. Nathaniel P. Lasnorsmorfel .

SPITE of the fact that Friends'

Central was in town, the nation's capitol
pursued its business in cus-
tomary procedure . The memorials and places of interest all seemed to take our coming quite naturally, but even that could not suppress the enthusiasm of the class on this, our biggest adventure together.
Under the able
guidance and supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Crouch, our trip was completely enjoyable, and one that will come to our minds often in the future .

HOCKEY SEASON
liHIS
year's hockey season was a great success.
With a
team mainly consisting of seniors, most o f whom were pl aying for their fourth year, we collected si x victories and only three defeats . With one victory tucked away, our hopes for an undefeated season were upset by Sacred Heart, in our second game, 2-3 . The next game, however, made the season a success. We defeated Westtown Friends ' School for the first time in the history of Friends' Central. Except for two more heart-breakin g losses, Springside and Irwin, in which the scores were tied until the last few minutes of play, the rest of the season was easy sailing .

BASKETBALL SEASON A
NOTHER great season! Continuing the pace of the last
(""""\ two years, the varsity won all but one game, setting the record of only two defeats in three years. As in hockey, the team was composed mainly of seniors. This fact aided in the development of fine teamwork as, with seasoned players, the time necessary for drill in technique could be shortened . We started our season with a 56-22 victory over Abington Friends. This good start was followed by three more wins: Peirce School, 53-21, Stevens, 58-11, Sacred Heart, 40-17· In the fifth game, Springside handed us our only defeat,44-56 . We ended our season with two more victories: Friends' Select, 33-24, and Westtown, 31-13 .

LACROSSE SEASON S
TARTING the season with a practically veteran team, again drawing mainly from the ranks of the seniors, we defeated
Sacred Heart,
6-1, in spite of only one week ' s practice .
The game proved that none of the players had lost any of their individual skill and the team showed a degree of teamwork un seen in previous years . Following Sacred Heart we collected a win over German town Friends', 7-2. Then came the Swarthmore game . Although we lost,
8-0, the team showed improvement over last year .
Without a doubt, our return match with Swarthmore will give them something to worry about. In addition to the return match with Swarthmore, we still have remaining on our schedule, Springside and Agnes Irwin ' s. So far, all indications have pointed toward a very successful season .

FOOTBALL SEASON
S
TARTING the season with a small squad and only three lettermen back it did not seem that the team would be as successful as it was.
The team won four and tied one of its seven games, losing to Episcopal Academy1 7-0 and to Germantown Academy 1 19-13. Dedicating our new football field this year we rolled up forty-two points to our opponents' none in the first three games. We opened the season by defeating Baltimore Friends' School, 24-0, Berwyn H . S. followed, 6-0, and then Swarthmore College Freshmen 1 12-0.
We then tied the lnter-Ac Champ-
ions, Haverford School/ 6-6.
The following week we de-
feated Penn Charter for the first time since 1931, 14-0.
The
two defeats then followed. The three lettermen from 1936, Captain Rolfe March, Ben Statzell and Bill Monroe were chosen to the All lnter-Ac team al fu II back, center and tack Ie respectively. Other sen iors who were regulars are: Howard Mil ler, Ed Massey and Jack Townsend, Paul Saxer, Bil l Blair, Bob Steinhilber and Jim Bates.

SOCCER SEASON
A
LTHOUGH their season was not highly successful as
~ they won only two out of the seven games they played ,
the young charges of
Leslie
Nicholson had an enjoying
and a profitable season . The team was hampered as usual this season by lack of experienced players. There were only four seniors on the squad, two of these were regulars, Captain Arnold Smolens, at fullback and lasl year's captain, Ed Flaccus, at center forward . The other two senior members of the squad were Dick Stern and Ted Marks. The team started off the season by trouncing Chestnut Hill, 7-0, but then lost to Haverford School, 5-1 . The next week the team defeated Episcopal Academy in a hard-fought game, 4-2. Then followed defeats at the hands of Penn Charter, Germantown Friends', Germantown Academy, and Friends' Select. This year's team was composed mostly of lowerclassmen, and it is our hope that they will be able to carry Friends' Central to many victories in the years to come .

CLASS POEM Well, my day has come at last, and It brings me joy upon one hand And sorrow on the other. For Even though I know that more Lies ahead for me, I'm loath To leave the joy of youth . But both My feelings must be full. The past Is my well into which I cast The precious cup of memory. I remember our work and play, The joyous life that filled each day, Trips and ball games, debate and talk . Sometimes we even used to walk In the fields at night, starlit By the sky above. All these fit In with the past. But bit by bit I feel the call of things to come, Insistent, like a beehive's hum . Challenging, throbbing with the will Of the conqueror, and I still The voice which says, "You'll never win ." For even though I tried to pin My fears against the wall, until I'd asked the trees for help to kill This thought, I was in doubt. They said, " What life demands, you havei well fed . With knowledge, it becomes e'en more. Remember in your memory's store, This is a frame your life surmounts, The base is you, and that's what counts ."
