1rielldS eentral/845-1945 In 18H the three Friends' Meetings of Green, Spruce and Arch Street~ climaxed 15 years of active concern for their children's education by building a school. The "handsome new building' ' was erected at 4th and Cherry Streets on the site of which is now an unpretentious parking lot. i\Iidway on the Cherry Street line of this lot a large marble sill lies abandoned in the weeds-presumably where the portal of the first Friends' Central School welcomed 198 pupils on a sunny September morning in 1815. There was considerable interest in the opening of this new school because the outstanding Quaker educator, Benjamin Hallowell, had been secured as headmaster of the boys' department. Although to us he may be only a colorless bas-relief in the O.P.A. room, he was in real life an adventurous pioneer, a scientist of some repute in a time when many peopl e doubted whether science might not be some new temptation of the devil. 'Vhat a daring innovation that at the new school "As tronomy, Natural Philosophy and Chemistry" were to be taught both boys and girls! This department has cominued outstanding. By th e 1890's Joseph Haines was presiding in splendid "modern" laboratories and used to take some of his students and apparatus to outlying schools where they would give demonstration lectures, thus sharing their excellent equipment and opportunities. Currently, F.C.S. students have won a place in the Annual Science Talent Search, three years in succession, and this year we are the only independent school in Pennsylvania thus honored. In the early days the textbooks used at the school were submitted for approval to a committee of Friends who also constituted a visiting committee who reported to the meetings if they observed young ladies wearing jewelry or failing to observe the plain language. It should also be remembered that scarcely more than ten years ago, a teacher at the modern F.C. kept cotton and a bottle of alcohol on her desk with which she removed makeup and nail polish of any girls who so far forgot the Friendly tradition as to appear at school with these embel1ishments. Graduation exercises were first observed in 18i8 with rigidly enforced simplicity. In subsequent years more than one girl on commencement clay has been shorn of forbidden ruffles by a stern pair of shears and legend has it that once a young lady who dared to break the rules was obliged to graduate in her plain and very modest petticoat. But simplicity is difficult to come by and the .\ i.\
question is now raised: Do our contemporaries who come to school clad in dungarees and plaid shirts practice extreme simplicity or ostentation? The old spirit of decorum is not hard to understand when today one enters the impressive meeting house at 15th and Race Streets after crossing the quadrangle formed with it by the old upper and lower school buildings of another day. Here, on these sedate benches faced by this great, steep gallery of weighty Friends, the school met for midweek meeting from 1857-1926. The move from Arch Street to this new location had been made under the headmastership of Aaron Ivins who served from 1855-83. He was famous less as a scholar than as a disciplinarian and a stern, exciting teacher. When he entered a classroom an exhilarating sense of things about to happen entered with him. Tho' something of a tyrant he was nevertheless loved by generations of F.C.S. scholars, and his proud carriage, and rapid-fire oral examinations are a vivid memory from another day. The school expanded so rapidly in the new location that the buildings were enlarged several times: new labs, new lunchroom and new gymnasium indicated prosperity and growth. The new gym , built in 1895, was looked upon with enthusiasm similar to ours for the new Field House. It was considered the best and most modern in the city. The outstanding characteristic of F.C.S. throug·h the years has been the consistent pioneering on educational frontiers. In the early days it was science; in 1877 we started the first kindergarten in the city when the very idea was radical. Later, athletics for girls, the junior high type of curriculum, were controversial innovations. '"' hen the school moved to Overbrook in 1926, it was in the vanguard of the country day school movement. "Enterprise" is the result of the famous Eight-Year Experiment conducted by the Progressive Education Association in which only 30 schools in the country participatect. It was an attempt to escape from conventional ways of teaching and to invent new and more effective methods. This year, 1945, the school is again first with its definitely adventurous "Student Abroad"' plan. The modern F.C.S. goes forward, barely aware of such teachers as Annie Shoemaker, who "felt like a grandmother to the daughters of her girls as they came to school," of Percival Rex and scores of others. Yet their selfless devotion, no less than that of Barclay .Jones, is our great heritage. Our debt to them can only be paid to the future, as we work for F.C.S., believing, with them. that it will never stop growing; that it is always being created in the image of the best that we conceive. ,1\TINIFRED EMERSON

The C Class, having reached the height and importance o[ 9th grade decided it was time to learn to dance. So Arthur Murr::ty sent out hi~ bes~ talent. The poor teacher! She probably had a nervous breakdown. It was not long before we were stumbling around the gym floor in a very poor imitation of dancing. A.lmost eV'ery Friday night the gang would gather. hall frozen, at 69th Street to catch the good old "Ardmore vi::t Narberth" to school. At last we became good enough to have a dancing class party, and those who had to walk from Overbrook Station almost arrived with brok en ankles. Still, we had a lot of fun. \tVe must not forget to mention our class party which was gi,·en in the gym on February 16. The girls did a professional job o[ deco1·ating, for not only were the walls beautiful , but the tables were auractivcly covered with food, while the juke box was busy the whole evening. Carolyn Gerson threw a bang-up skating party in the gym on March 9. Meanwhile in the sports world we were doing a little better. There were seven C's on the varsity soccer team, and Rodney Cooke was chosen All lnter-Ac. In class ga.,mes, the girls' hockey team managed to beat the D Class before the weather man interfered. Then along came the basketball season. The girls ' class basketball team worked out some really super plans and was all set to challenge any other class. We had to begin with the D Class, whom we defeated and then we jumped to seniors with whom we were to battle for the class cup. Ahem! ... We didn't get it. When we had pulled through the winter with no broken bones, we turned out to spring sports, such as golf, basebali, archery, lacrosse, and tennis. The girls who had been struggling with lacrosse had come to the conclusion that the only way to keep a lacrosse ball in the crosse was to glue it in. Maybe we'll learn some clay. Two of the boys made the Varsity baseball team , but we also have another outstanding baseball team in the class which has been undefeated for four years. Of the boys' class games, we played only one, a Blue and Gray game, which was won by the Blues with a score of 24-23. Due to the war and the possibility of jewelry store supplies being out, we decided that we had better order our class rings, but fast! So a committee was sent to Balfour Company to pick out some attractive designs. Everyone agreed upon the committee's decision and we ordered the rings which we shall get next fall. Here's hoping our fingers won't grow too fast because we still 11ave three more years before we reach the height of our senior year. MARGUERITE RIDGE

\Vc ccnainly aren't too smart, neither arc we too stupid.
a\·crage-pcrhaps just regular.
\1\Te arc just
Being regular I guess is being commonpla-ce,
but "·c don't mind because most of the people of this world are that very 1hi ng-commonplace .
.-\ few of us arc good in mathematics: a few are good artists; a few are good 111
music: and a few arc good in athletics, such as Pat Spotts, Marie Elliott, Sally
Folger, Jane \Vurster, and .Jackie Zenker. These peopl e and a few others represent our class in th e sport's department.
:\'ow, most people would worry
about our class, but we like ourselves-we arc so normal , so average that it pleases all of us. VVe are a lucky class. The w:u- hasn't really hurt us-we just missed it, as we have a lot of other things.
But most of us buy war stamps, a bond, and
donate clothing to the war effort.
For our fun we had a Sophomore Hop and
Holly Balch contributed a juke box.
Later, during the course of the year
we ga,·e a LUrn-a-bout dance which was certainly a success. Because we arc a Friends' school, we arc trying to learn and pract ice many things like kindness, equality, and tolerance. \•Vc, as a class, have tried hard and feel we arc successful.
i\fost of us want a good education to prepare us for
our place in this new world.
i\Icn have suffered and died to give us this oppor·
LUnity, and we arc going to repay them in c\·cry way possible by taking advantage of our education and freedom. By our education, we mean a full knowl edge of m ental and physical devel opment, and if we arc ab le to understand it in its deepest meaning then indeed may we sec the whole design for li ving.

With the opening of school in September, the A's found loads of new and wonderful additions to our fellow classmates of last year. The girls quickly accepted Mary Persons and l\Iarilyn Simpson , while the boys' additions were Harold i\Iorris, Bill Lungren, (both of whom left during the first semester for the armed services), Bob Yarnall, our tall , lanky pitcher on the baseball squad, ;~ncl Bruce Biddle. Our first social c1·ent Look place in December, and a! though the Senior Prom was but a short time away it proved to be \'cry successful. In January two big evc11ts took place, the first being the annual Buck Hill Falls Conference in which six or ~even students from each of several of the preparatory schools in the East took part. Aside from lectures in the morning the afternoon was free and all seven of our \'Oluntecrs had a wonderful time skiing and sledding or just hiking through the snm1·. The seven were Diane Bault, Alice Hess, Freddie Jacobs, Jane Raymond, ·w alter Armstrong, Curtis Jones, and Dick Randall. Then on January 28, Esther Jones, Irm~t Jones, Bitten J cnsen and Bill Ranlin left for Mexico, in the firH year of the "Student Abroad" plan. In April l\Irs. Jones, E~ther ' s mother, reLurned from visiting Mexico City, where the [our arc living with different families. She told us that they will prol5ably be home sometime in the early part of June. As usual the Juniors were outstanding in their contribution to athletics. In the fall sports all three teams, hockey, football , :mel soccer, were substantially assisted by Diane Bault, Sally Carson , i\Iary Jane Cox , and Dorothy Schwab for the girls, while the boys were 'Valtcr Armstrong, the Grcenficlds, Doug and Don, Jim Pooley, Don Hunt7ingcr, Bob Fahlen , captain for football next year, Carl Thomas, Blaine Scott, Tom Roberts, Jim Spatola , Norman Robinson. Bill Lungren, Bill Peifl'cr, Bob Yarnall, Curtis .Jones, Bruce Biddle, and David Peele, captain for the soccer team next fall. In the winter activities, the spotlight shown on basketball with Alice H css, Diane Bault, and Helen Levinson, while Captain '\IValt .\rmstrong led three of his classmates, Don Huntzinger, Jim Pooley , and Dick Randall to the league champio11ship shared with Penn Charter. In the spring· line-up, lacrosse. baseball and track were: outstanding with the support of Diane Bault, Betty Philson, Mary Jane Cox, Dot Schwab, Sally Carson, Jane Raymond, Jean Garretson, and Alice: Hess. On the cinders there were Jim Spatola, the Grccnficlcls, Blaine Scott, Jim Pooley and Dick Randall , while diamond supporters were 't\Taltcr Anmtrong, Jim Pooley, Don Huntzinger, and Bob Yarnall. Winding up the year was the biggest social e1·ent of the school term sponsored by us, the Junior Prom, and we hope this "·as the finest prom ever given , to wind up our Centenary Year with a bang. i\ItLDRt::D KtN(;

Spanish 1 wish I could say something hilariously amusing about my class, something which would show that, since I am after all older than my students, 1 am adept at fixing each one's character with an apt phr::tse; the truth is that they baffle me . My new friends know me for an unromantic sort, but I assure you that when confronted with the absolute serenitv and beautiful innocence of Ellen Fitts and Dorothy Garretson I am , [or th~ moment, incapable of posing the type of question every casehardened teacher knows no student could possibly answer. My malevolence perks up as I turn to the inseparable combination of Elwood and Charlotte; I tried a few time~-without 'much conviction- to follow a policy of divide-and-rulE': I instantly found myself boycotted, ostracised, and completely scorned. Anyway, the fu-st clay I appeared at Friends' Central School, a few months ago, Elwood Miley asked me point-blank, "Why do you want to be a schoolteacher!" It explains the puzzled look I have worn on my face ever since. Nor am I reassured by Pat Rowe's eyebrows which raise themselves gradually to impossible altitudes as I continue to mumble my questions. Mitsuo knows more Spanish than I . . . Asi me cayera muerto! Bob Howarth, at my most innocent explanation of grammar, too loudly whispers, "Here we go again!" Susie Millick, on a Blue Monday morning, can put such a nuance of rightful indignation into her voice as to make me want to hide under the desk. It can't be quite so bad as I've made it out to be, or I should hardly have looked forward with such real pleasure to meeting them each morning. I must say I wish they weren't senior~.

Pltysics \Vhen the 9:52 dub meets, the period becom es a clash. Every physics class that I have ever t:wght ha& comainecl a large portion of the cream of that class. This one is no exception. \ Vhen I get a question by Joe, Barbara, and one of the .Jones' boys, that qu es tion is ambiguous, irrelevant, and inconsequenLial. Hogan , Taylor, and Eissler will then tackle it. By that time it is in the e nd wne and unrecognizable. What we really need in this group is l\ [oore quiet and a Brown study. We have an excess of Free conversation and a refreshing babbling Brooke. \1\le have more feminine pulchritude than usual. 1 am forced to blush most of the time.

Art Jlistor!f This year the Senior Class hegan with the Renaissance at Sienna and Florence paying special attention to significant pieces of architecture and sculpture and laying a still greater stress on painting. lt has been both interesting and exciting to study the development of the various schools and periods and to be able to place the many artists in their proper categories. It gives a great deal of satisfaction to be able to recognize the famous pulpit in the Baptistery at Pisa and to associate it with Niccola Pisano, one of the great sculptures of the period-also likewise with the great sculptures of " David'' hy Donatcllo, Vcrrocchio. and Michelangelo and -too- the heroic equestrian statues in Venice and Padua. Botticclli's " Allegory of Spring··· and " Venus" have long hccn familiar (by reproduction) to most of the class, but now to sec this breaking away from the traditional subject matter into a newer direction is not only gratifying, hut a welcomed relief. Venice during the sixteenth century created a great appreciation for one of our most flour· ishing periods in art. Here we find landscape taking form as real picture building material and distinguished to an outstanding peak hy such men as Giorgione in his " Concert Champetre;· still to be found in the Lou\ re , and in many of the magnificent GlnYasses by Tintoretto, Titian, and \'eronese. Leonardo 's marvelous "Last Supper·· has now heen approached analytically and his even more famous ··:-.rona Lisa" openly and freely discussed to the degree of making it far more revealing as seen through a youthful vision. And so it goes , on and on , encompa,sing ami embracing the works of :\!ichelangelo, Benvenuto Cellini , the Van Eycks , Peter Breughel. Diirer , Holbein, Criine\\·ald; the significant Spanish painters-EI Greco , Velasquez. and Coya and then into free and Protestant Holland where we find Hals , Rembrandt. and Vermeer , et al. France during the se,·ententh and eighteenth cemuries gave us plenty to delight in , especially the later period . . \nd across the Channel in England many of the girls " revelled" in Cainsborough , Romney. and Sir Joshua. But the real spirit and 'ibration was most dynam ically felt as we dosed th e year with C(•7anne. l~ eurat , Picasso. Braque, Dali , ~latisse, ;\Tiro and many other " sky-rocketing " ligures of the present centmy. \\' ith the aid of the Philadelphia :\luseum of .\rt many orig·inal studies were available to our class.

Jlistor11 You were wonderful. You solved all the problems of the world as though they were child's play. Nothing faLed you-from how to preserve world peace to whether girls should wear dungarees to school! If our statesmen would only have listened to you, everything would have been fixed up in short order. The talents you showed f01 careers of public service were also amazing. On the basis of the abilities you demonstrated in Enterprise, I can't resist making the following prophecies as to your positions in 1970: Joe Derry, arguing cases before the Supreme Court; Marion .Beatty, Republican National Committeewoman for Pennsylvania plugging for Tommy Ogden lor the nomination for President; :M ickey McDermott leading the campaign for equal rights for women; Tommy Hogan, Democratic Boss of Delaware County; Mary Beth \'\Torley, Editor of the \\'omen's Political Re11iew; Johnny Jones teaching international relations at Haverford and conducting the Main Line Forum; Cassie Gilda running an Advisory Bureau on Domestic and Marital Problems; Buster Baldridge directing a School of Oratory for would-be politicians; Susie i\Iillick, manager ol America's leading knit-goods factory; Elwood Miley, political cartoonist for the Philadelphia Inquirer; Toni Loyson, head of a school for female diplomats in Paris; Bill Weaver, leading arbitrator of labor disputes; Barbara Homer, Presidem of the Pennsylv::tnia League of Women Voters; Tommy Dutton, Director of Production of Films for Democracy; Hoylande Jones, author of a treatise on traffic law for tandem bicycles; Elizabeth Radvin, head of an international folk dancing school. But don ' t let anyone kid you. If the world does not appreciate your services or your solutions of its problems, it's likely to be the world that's wrong and not you. And if you keep your enthusiasm and your convictions you will make a great contribution and help solve many of the problems ahead. MARK EMERSON

"'Nell, we really should do Easley .foiU'S. but I guess this course is flexible enough so that we can do the Easley .font's tomorrow. Anyone object? Bill \Veaver? \,Yell , Bill, can ' t you do th:H grammar work tomorrow just as well? All right, here we go." The class sits more or less quicsceut. The hand-holders and gum-chewers finally become interested enough to listen (apparently). There's a little hum of conversation at the back of the room, where Hogan and Taylor or Elwood and Charlotte arc sitting, but after a sibilant ''sh-h -h-h" from one of the selfappointed proctors, Mickey l\lcDcrmott or Hilaire Fenton, the hum dies down . About ten minutes after class has started, Nancy comes in from science and has to have the plot of the story ex plained to her. This is a signal for the conversationalists to start another whispering campaign, but at last the room quiets down and the story is read . .. \\' ell , Ned, do you think that the author makes a reaso nable character of Lewis?" " Gee, l\Ir. Price, I don't know, re:dly. " '' Yes- I think he does. " " \Vhy?" " Well-er-er-well. 1 guess 1 didn ' t hear all of the story. I-er just dropped off for a minute.

Solid (/eometr!f A "LOCUS" IS WHERE YOU FIND IT J can Linder, in charge of the solid geometry class, is reviewing in preparation for a test. "Here," she announces, "is another important topic. Find the locus of the center of a sphere having a radius of five inches, which is tangent to a given plane, and also tangent to a given line perpendicular to the plane." Then, selecting Weaver, "Bill, you may draw the diagram on the board. Jim, have you any idea about this?" "I think the locus is a plane," Austin observes cautiously. "Joe, where would the plane be?" "Well, it's parallel to the given plane, five inches distant." ""No, it would have to include two planes, Joe," John advises confidently. Doris, laying aside her busy knitting needles, suggests, "The two planes are parallel to the given plane, one on each side and five inches from it." vVeaver turns for instructions. "Whose ideas am I supposed to draw? Jim's or Doris's?" ".Just draw your own conception of the figure, Bill." Doug Crates's hand suddenly waves in wild ellipses. "The locus can't be just two planes. Wasn't there a given line perpendicular to something?" Morgan's face brightens. "The locus is really a circle, diameter ten inches." "There must be two circles," Cushing offers quietly, "one in each parallel plane." "Yes," agrees Jean, enjoying the debate. "Ned Eissler, can you add any thing further?" "I think the center of each circle will lie on the given perpendicular." Tom Dutton offers Jean his pencil sketch. "Does it look anything like this?" "Very well doqe, Tom, but you might shade the planes more heavily." Doris now gives a complete description of the locus. But nobody hears-the class is already hastening to the Science Building.

Jeeview )'tatltematics Scene-third floor hall. Time-the two-minute interval between assembly and first period-daily. Characters-Ralph, Tom, and Doug. Leaning over the banister, these three students may be seen gazing longingly down the winding stairway to the first floor. After waiting one minute, fifty-nine and one-half seconds for that miracle to happen that will set them free for the next forty minutes, they reluctantly cross the hall and enter the review mathematics class. An idea strikes Bill as he sees the class is about to begin, for he is still looking forward to that day when there will be time left in the period to stan the next day's assignment. "Can't we do only algebra today?" "I've got all the answers." Florence and Jean nod their approval, and Doug looks up, his face just beaming. "This course would be easy, if we would just stay on it." "I simply can't remember math that goes back to the third grade." "Neither can I," says Nancy, "but I usually get all the answers by following the sample problems worked in the book." Joan looks up rather amazed-"Let's get started, for I did just that, yet some of my answers are not like those in the ans\ver book." Thus ends a typical prologue to a review mathematics class, and work begins. Somehow the time now really Hies, for it seems no time at all when suddenly Ralph, Tom, and Doug start dashing for the fire escape exit at the back of the room and you realize the period has come to an end. This rush for the next class doesn't mean that these young men are planning to be among our future chemists. You see there is a special "Two Minute Club" attached to this class, and they have resolved to have no part of it. DOROTHY

loot/Jail Football practice began early in September with the best prospects in several seasons. Having a year's experience in the T formation behind it, the team responded readily to the coaching of Mr. Fitts and his assistants, Vic Lindskog and Ben Kish. The opening game with Swarthmore College J. V. came close to being our first victory, but they pushed over a touchdown in the closing minutes and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. Penn Charter capitalized upon our all-too-frequent mistakes and used the breaks that we gave them to defeat us 26-6. In the next league game Episcopal Academy was leading 13-0 as we went into the fourth quarter. It seemed as if the predictions that they would slaughter F.C.S. might come true, but a safety followed by a touchdown made the final score 13-8. The rain-drenched game with Archmere .-\cademy ended in a 14-0 defeat. Our first victory was over Germantown Academy 27-7. Our offense was working smoothly, and an alert defense produced numerous breaks that we used to good advantage. Bryn Athyn was defeated 12-2. The final game with Haverford, the undefeated league champions, produced thrills galore but ended in a 14-6 defeat. When the Philadelphia newspapers picked the All-Inter-Academic League team, Tom Hogan, Doug Crate, and Harold Green won berths on the first team while Bob Fahlen appeared on the second squad. Friends' Central was also well represented among those winning honorable mention. The 1945 team under the leadership of Bob Fahlcn can look forward to a great season. Although Bill Lundgren and Harold Green have gone into the armed forces and Ogden, Crate, Howarth, Hogan, Derry, Free, and D'Alesio are lost from the squad through graduation as is our manager, Jim Austin, there are good prospects for a winning football team next fall.

Jfockey The girls' Varsity Hockey Team under Miss Blackburn finished the most successful season that any hockey team at Friends' Central has ever en joyed, being undefeated and untied through seven straight games and thus taking the rnythical Main Line Championship. The first game was with Friends' Select, which was overcome 6-1; the team then journeyed to Westtown to beat them 2-0; Steven& was the next victim, again ~-0; after that game came Irwin's, which was defeated 5-l. The next two games with Sacred Heart and Baldwin ended in our favor, the scores respectively being 4-l and 4-0. The final game was with Shipley, a school that was previously undefeated. Remembering the fact that Shipley was responsible for last year's only defeat, the girls played a hard game and came through victorious 2-1! It should be noted that Friends' Central scored 23 goals to 3 scored by opponents, Suzanne Millick, the captain, being high scorer with 13 goals. Barbara Homer was next with '1, Dian e Bault, next year's captain, with 3, and Dorothy Schwab with 2, .Jackie Zenker, 1. The team traveled to the Baldwin School for the trials for the All-Main I.i11e Team. After playing against quite a hit of competition Suzanne Millick, for the third year; Barbara Homer, Diane Bault, Sally Carson, for their second year; and Helen Levinson , for the first time, made the first team. Doris Greenwood and Ellen Fitts were picked for the second team . When the All-Main Line Team played the All-Chestnut Hill Team, Suzanne Millick was elected captain o( the former team which came through victorious, 2-1. V\' hen reviewing the season, the team (eels that its outstanding successes were largely clue to their coach, Miss Eliza Blackburn , who is affectionately referred to as " 'L iza. " In tense moments she always gave encouragement and support. 'Vithout her knowledge and skill and ability to teach it to others, wch a season of hockey could never have been accomplished.

Soccer The varsity soccer team took the field with an inexperienced, young squad. Mr. Leslie Nicholson, popular coach of the team , immediately started to work building a team from a group of fellows who had hardly ever played together in the past. The work was not easy, but by the first game, Mr. Nicholson had put together a team of eager players who started off the season with a victory over West Philadelphia High School, 2-l. But illnesses and injuries followed this win, and the Blue and Gray finished the season without another victory. Playing for the first time with a whole team the Nicholsonmen played their best in the last game of the season when they battled furiously with Frit·nds' Select, holders of the Inter-academic championship, going down in defeat, 2-0. Near the end of the season, a cold wave struck the vicinity. " ' hen the boys came out for practice with their soccer shorts on , goose pimples were trav· eling up and down their legs. But Coach t\icholson soon got rid of these by using the remedy of two and one-half hours of tough practice. The line-up was changed several times throughout the season, but for the most time it read: Bill Muntz, goalie; Rod Cook and Bob Nicholson at the fullbacks; .Jack · Banks, .John Jones, and Jerry Darlington occupying the halfback positions; Tom Dutton, captain, and Dave Peele on the outsides; l\Iituso Ikeda and Bill Shmidheiser at the insides, while Jack Buckley was the center forward . Muntz, Cook, Nicholson, Banks, Darlington, Shmidheiser, and Buckley were the freshman starters; Peele represented the juniors, while .Johnny .Jones, Dutton, and Ikeda were the senior class members on the first eleven. Rodney Cook and "Mitsi" Ikeda represented the Blue and Gray on the All-Interacademic soccer team and deserve a great deal of credit for sparking a team which shows a great deal of promise for a future championship. Third Row: Carey, Linton , Biddle, Muntz, l\:icholson (Coach). Second Row: Trumper, Cooper, Cook , ]. Jones, Nicholson , Cushing, Duff. First Row: C. Jones , Banks, Peele, Schmidheiser, Dutton (captain) , Buckley. Ikeda , Darlington , Kaufman.

Rolfs' Rasl<etba/1 The Friends' Central basketball team gave the school an anntversary present of the co-championship o[ the Interacademic Leagu e. 1945 was a very successfu l season for the Blue and Gray. From the first game with Overbrook to the last game against \Vesttown, the Fittsmen won 15 games out of 20. This year Coach Fitts was ably assisted by l\Ir. Frank Groff a nd Mr. Howard "Ziddie" Trautwein. These three developed a fast-breaking quintet which centered around Captain \!\'alter Armstrong, guard on a Blue and Gray varsity basketball squad [or his third year. Helping Walt as a guard was dependable Mitsuo Ikeda, only senior on this year's five. "Mitzi" provided the spark that Friends' Central needed after they played without him in the first few games. Dick Randall , sharp-shooting forward , won the Interac scoring title with 106 points in eight games, 21 ahead of his nearest rival. Don Huntzinger, the other forward, proved to be the best backboard player in the league, while Big Jim Pooley, 6'4'' center was a constant threat to the opposition. Tom Hoga n, senior, was ~he sixth man on the squad and proved very valuable on numerous occasiOns. The league season opened with tl1e Blue and Gray being upset at the hands of Haverford School, 30-29. But after that it was a much different team that beat Germantown Academy, 53-20; Episcopal, 56-25; Penn Charter, 44-28. And after those games, Friends' Central piled up an 11-game winning streak until being halted in the league season's finale, 42-40, at the hands of Penn Charter. This defeat enabled Penn Charter to tie F.C. for the leagu e crown, each having identical records o( six wins and two losses. The Blue and Gray quintet had one of the best zone defenses in Philadelphia, and was called on to scrimmage the great team of Temple University. «

After that they won from Agnes Irwin School , 31-20; Baldwin School , 46-1'1; and Shipley School, 25-19; making a total of 169 point~ to the combined scores of their opponents which equalled 101. The Second Team also had a Yery successful season by winning all their gam es. Coach Liza Blackburn's prospects [or next year look fine , in spite of losing Co-capLains Pat Rowe and Marion Beatty, high scorer Susie Millick and the two capable guards, Ellen Fitts and Barbar<t Homer. Alice Hess is the only regular starter remaining and she wil l be joined by forwards H elen Levinson , Jane Raymond, Sally Folger, and Diane BauiL. The guards will be .Jean Garretson , Mary .Jane Cox , BeLLy \Vh eclcr. and DoLLi e Schwab from the present junior and sophomore classes. Other first team substitutes and second team players who will be greatly missed are Dot Garretson, Hoy Jones, Liz Ravdin , Jean Linder and Doris Greenwood. We all wish the best of luck coming year.

"Ve wish to extend our appreciation to those members of the faculty and student body who have so generously given their time and help in the publication of this book. This is a war-time edition. There were many features which had to be omitted, due to shortages of paper, film, flashlight bulbs and other necessary rna terials. Nevertheless, we hope that you will en joy "The Centenarian."

eum £nude Cum Laude is the national secondary school honorary society which is similar to Phi Beta Kappa in the colleges. The Friends' Central Chapter, or which Miss Margaret Munroe is the secretary, elects students who, at the end of their junior year, haYe received an outstanding average in their subjects. At the end of the first semester of the senior year , students who have an average of not less than eighty-eight percent for the junior and first half of the senior year are elected; and then, in June, students who have an average of not less than eighty-five percent for the final two years arc made members. Since the chapter was first begun at Friends' Central, 146 students have become members of the society. Many of thosC' who belonged to the Cum Laude Society have made names for themselves since the time o[ their graduation. On becoming a member, a student rcceiycs a small gold key and a ccrt i ficatc and is expected to continue the same high standard or scholarship. Last June, Barbara B. Homer, John B. Jones, Jr., and Joseph Derry received their keys while Mary Elizab<:>th \Vorley was elected at the mid-term this year. Those who have succeeded in winning this honor arc those who have striven to attain the ideals that Friends' Central represents.

Student eouncil The members for the Student Council arc selected by popular vote from the student body. Two boys and two girls from the two upper classes and one boy and one girl from the B class through the E class seek to obtain the student ideas for bettering our school. By doing this, a representative form of student government is established. The most important ideas are related to the faculty by way of the faculty adviser, l\Ir. Farraday. Tom Ogden, a most capable pres ident, concentrated most of the Council's time on the Recreation Room and student-run study halls. In memory of Mr. Crouch the Recreation Room was brought into being by the Council-its main purpose is to provide a place for the students to gather and play during the recess and lunch periods. Ping-pong tables and a victrola and radio were added to the large room with hopes of card tables and rugs for the future. One of the main stresses of our school is to be able to obtain self-government when it is most needed. The Student Council had some of its members conduct study halls. This year has proved very successful so far as obtaining goals is concerned. The work of the Council will continue next year with a larger body and a president who has been elected by the entire student body rather than just 1he Cou neil.

BLUE AND GRAY The BLUE AND GRAY is published 3 times a year by the Students of Friends' Central School, 68th Street and City Line A\·enue, Overbrook , Pa. Address all communications to the Editor. Terms-Thirty-five cents per copy. Subscription , $1.00 per year. Circulation, 400 copies.
Hi-ho and away we go down to the "Blue and Gray" room! VVhat do we find there? The usual busy hive of industry. Two male members of the staff are playing tit-tat-toe on the black-board while a third gives unwanted advice. A girl is staring blankly at the proofreader's chart on the wall and occasionally asking "W'hat is 'one em quad'?" The editor is sitting amid a stew of papers furiously writing and answering another female who keeps saying "Shall we dance?" The business manager enters the room for the first time in three meetings, reads the advertising rates, and disappears. Faculty advisers enter mumbling things about catching buses and seeing pupils. They are promptly submerged by a rain of notes to sign. Amid all this, the stories Jssigned by the English teachers are read and approved or rejected as quality dem:mds. About 3:45 the first students have to leave and by 5:15 only the editor and "Shall we dance?" remain. So I ife goes in the "Blue and Gray." EoJTOR's NoTE:
·
Just for the record, the "Blue and Gray" is the school's literary magazine and, in truth, when once the meeting has come to order, most of the business is conducted in a thoroughly efficient manner.

1. e.s. ;A,1ews "''\Then does th e News come out?" This cr y is a fa miliar one around school. To answer it one must know who are the workers who make the News possible. This year the F.C.S. Xcws was take n O\'Cr by ~Irs. '"' oerner and Miss ''\Thitcra lt and a student staff, which consisted m ainly of Juniors. As most of the sta ff were in ex peri enced , they had to overcome the numer- · o us probl elll s and diffi culties which bese t a newspaper staff. The News had no student editor until the middle of the year when Alice H ess was appointed. Before that tim e everyon e pitched in to share part of the resp onsibility. After the middl e of the year, with the new editor taking over, sports editors, J ack Banks and Diane Bault, were appointed and a search began for columnists to take the place of those who will graduate this June. Another goal ol th e News staff was to secure more pictures for the paper, and with thi s in \'i ew, two " cuts" editors were appointed with the res ult that "cuts" were put in the paper of the girls' undefea ted hockey team , the lnterAc Champs, and the new president of th e Student Council. The new columns added to the paper this year were " Betwixt and Betwee n" <;s seen by Doris Greenwood and Sue Millick, "The Globe Trotter," Richard Marcus's ' 'Listening Post," and a new art column. <<

?:lte eentenar11 Pla1fers The stage crew plays basketball at one end of the gym. The girls arc knitting or talking in one corner. Two or three couples arc dancing to the radio· on the stage. Th e prompters are screaming loud accusations at all and sundry because their books are missing. Johnny is giving last minute instructions to wmc of the crew, while Bruce, who alwavs knows his lines, is sitting in a corner conversing calmly. V\' oody is nervous as usual and Curtis is showing a great interest in the sound effects. Tinker is either pacing up and clown the Jloor learning last minute lines or she is late. .Jane is speaking with her cronies while Sue worries about how she will look. It is a room full o( seething humanity in wl1ich girls in slacks are almost indistinguishable from boys. It is utter chaos but it's fun. In case you haven ' t guessed, it's rehea rsal. 0:ot any particular one, just all of them rolled into one. The Centenary Players have not bee n in existence for even te n years, but already they have become a part of school life. Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Cadigan, they have given such plays as " l\facbeth ," " Ladies of the Jury," " Berkley Square," " Our Town," and "What a Life." This year, under l\[r. Price, they have given George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the i\Ian." Each ycilr after the play, awards are given to the hardest worker in the cast and on the technical staff. The proceeds from the play go to the Centenary Fund. The entire club wants to thank all those behind-the-scene workcrs who d~ so much with so little glory-the stage crew, technical directors, prompters, and ali the others who have been such a great help. Especially we want to thank i\Ir. Price for his patience and understanding without which this play would never have been possible.

'"Cite Service etub The Service Club is made up of two representati,·es from each class in the j unior and senior high school. The main purpose of the club is to help improve th e school and h elp in the aid of those less fortunate than ourselves. Due Lo the war, the work of the Service Club has bee n slowed clown. Again this year as las t year we were un a ble to provide the Thanksgiving and Christm as baskets. Every ) ear a sum of money is sent Lo the Schofield Normal anct 1ndustrial School for a " math" ' room for the colored childre n in Aileen, South Carolina. This was a tradition set up by the late ''\TalLer C. Crouch and has been carried on in his memory. Due to a new constitution, elections are h eld for new officers in January and in Jun e. Joe Derry was the president from September to Janu ary. At the Janu ary eleel ions Elizabeth Ravclin was elected the new presiclenl. The Service Club has two faculty advisers to h elp the club solve the more difficult problems. Mr. Harvey is well known for the wonderful job h e has done . Mr. Emerson, new to the school this yea r, has a kee n interes t both in the work and the meetings.
