Honorary CLAYTON L. FARRADAY has long been the helpful adviser and mainstay of the senior boys and has worked tirelessly to place them in colleges. Slewing cats and invading classes, he hovers anxiously over his troublesome brood. Attending the senior play every night of its performance, his laugh could be heard all over the audiLOrium. H e colleCLed sixteen cents for the Student Council by virtue o( his jitterbugging a bi lity. An able teacher and efficient administrator, Mr. Farraday is an unforgettable person.

Dedication is a brilliam mathematician and a favorite of the senior boys. H er popularity has grown quickly since her arrival at Friends' Central three years ago. She directs the ninth gTade girls in all their homeroom activities and leads her tempestuous math classes into the higher planes of knowledge. We' ll never forget all those promised tests which we studied for so diligently and fai led so miserably. She has been an excellent teacher, both for her hard work and friendly interest.

Class History Thineen year~ ago the inLrocluction LO our class hisLOry was wriLLen by four hardy souls-Sally Carson. who flunked at nllldpie:s: Diane Bault, who learned how LO puL on legg·ings (later on in lilc Di became a collector of anLiques-or perhaps the word is Relicks); Helen Lel'inson, being convinced the hard way that she really oughL ro get an education. and l rma Jones, skipping school (her moLhcr insist~ that she was sick. buL you know that Jones girl). ,\ II we can remember about Chapter One is thaL we took care or pets. Three new characters were introduced-\Valt Armstrong, athletic prodigy (at six months he hit himself on the head with a b:tseball bat); ~Eary Jane Cox, chiel poim o[ interest for n1a11y Haverford boys, and Dot Schwab. who, as time went on . ruined the li,·es of four men (one of the lour wcm to Episcopal which shows how much he was ruined). 'I n Chapter Two Wt'. learned how to write-or rather print,-and were imroduccd to "the-quick-brow11-lox-j11mping-01-cr-Lhe-laLy-dog.·· Bill R avdin entered in this chapter arguing about the e1·ils ol socialized rnedicine or any other topic for which he could find a lis1encr. and Da\'C: Peele also came in. with a jokcbook clutched in one hoL little paw ancl a J'raycd and battered necktie (one o[ Mr. Emerson's. probably) gTasped in the other.

The third. founh . and fi(th chaplcrs didn't introduce any ne\\' characters. l\frs. Watson gal'e up leaching after ha,·ing us in third grade and i\frs. Gile~ mo,·ed to Rochester afler ha,·ing us in fifth. The slrain ol us and their husbands was probably too much for 1ltcm. l n fourth gr<1de we were Egyptians: in filth grade, monks. ln third we had bren just normal .\ meric.ans. Chapter Six brings back happy and unhappy memories. Happy in LlrnL we had Mr. Biscoe, one of the best ol our teachers, and unhappy because of our first introduction 10 real work. Memorv maps-('an we ever forget them? :-\ncl poems-one to learn each week. Thib chaplet brought in Jean Farley of "honh" fame, the perfect replacement for ,\ bncr ol Lum and Abner. Mr. Biscoe \\'a~ drafted after we left. He probably found the .\rmy welcome relic! after us. ChapLer Seven gave us Cunis .Jones \\'i;h his-"why hasn'L the rec-room been cleaned?"; Alice H ess, pro1·i11g that blond~ and brains do mix: Bett_yYliilson, Broomall boosLer, "Woman of .-\merica." and champion ol Lhe giggle; Jean Garretson. champion chocolate chip cookie chomper; Elaine Swartl you all, lrom deep down south in Balti111on:; and Ellen Burr, an example or the quiet and industrious type that is the JOY ol thC' faculty and the unusual thing among t.he swdent body. i\fr. Harvey introduced us 10 thc rneaning ol ''bad joke" in chapter sel'Cll. His true-false qu iaes arc still our fa1·oritc 1cst~. (ll }OU don't know ~ou still have a fifty-fifty chance.) Chapter Eight brought us inw the llppc1 School building. 1t abo brought m Esther .Jones, our world uan:kr: Frc:ddie Jacobs (we all thought she was a boy); Jane R.a)mond. postman (1mdc collector): Herb Gos~. ,\nhm 7\l urray\ favorite pupil; Roy \Vilson. automobile: salesman e>-rraordinary; and Lee Frizzell. who is attracted to Green paslt1n~~- ,\ nd although he isn't with us now. 11·e certainly ought 10 mention George Ballou. gentleman skunk farmer.

Freshmen Class This fa ll seven of our boys helped to put that frcnlicd look in Mr. Trautwein's eyes. Through some miracle they made the 120 lb. lootbalJ teani and won two out of three games. H al[ of our girls went out for Varsity Hockey. After almost all of them had been told politely that they would like the Junior Varsity much beuer, they left. their heads bloody but unbowed. From that time on the Junior Varsity ... well, we don't ta lk about that anymore. For a while there were some hot---er--dcbates going on in the Alumni Room abouc what kind ol' a class ring we would get. Finally one was picked, and we arc happy to relate that onJy three members ol the class were wounded in thc---er-debates. But they suffered in vain; we were not allowed LO buy a ring this year, as Mr. Farraday later calmly informed us. " ' ith all good intentions "·e made many plans for our lonhcoming freshman dances. Again we were unsuccessful. No freshman frolic! But we made up for it, and had you

approached the gym on the night of No,·embcr 30, you would han! been greeted by a noise resembling the ocean at high tide. le was our Roller Skating Party in which one of the boys performed the feat of skating backwards. The others stopped trying it after a while. IL clogged up the floor. Our whole class by this Lime wore a bitter, haumed expression . due to so many failures. But with pleasure, we can look back on the many delicious cough-drops we choked clown after attending one of F. C.'s typical basketball games. If you had the qualities o[ an explorer and happened to notice some quiet, refined, polite mannerisms in this class or ours, we want you to know that all credit goes 10 l\Irs. Benner·s unceasing, and by this time slightly frantic, efforts. But this only applies to the Femmes Fatales of the class. :.\s for the boys, well. all we can say is, boys will be boys. And so we end this year with the burning determination that next year nothing will stop us. except ... well, we were wld Lo write only OllC

The honor of being one of the cutest girls in our class belongs to Jean. for her charm and personality ha\'C atLracted not only l\'orm bu L also lots of other friends. Living nearer Lo Fr iends" Central than most ol her classmates means that she is usually the last one to arrive. (Don't ask us why. That's the way it is).

Faculty Play As of this first week in March, the Faculty Play looks something like this: Miss Blackburn is constantly saying LhaL she cannot keep lines in her head and Lhat she can·L be Lhe Queen, Mr. Traut,,·ein has had lo relinquish the role of Prince William because o( illness. Mr. Dohner has given up the Northrup role because he was leaving school. and it seems as if there were no time for rehearsals.

Bul apan from

all Lhis, the faculty is sLill looking forward to April I 2Lh-or a liule later-as the date. Robert Sherwood's ..The Queen's Hus band'' is a satirical play written shortly after the late Queen Marie of Rumania's visit to the U niled Slales back in 192- something.

The Service Club :\1 Lhc end or.June. 1945, Lhc SerYice Club hiL an all time low in debts. public opinion. and frequency and siLe of meetings. Jn September the executive committee-Bruce Biddle, presidem; J erry Darlington. vicc-pre,idcnt; Kathy Biddle, secretary; and Mary Smith, treasurer; faced a new season burdened down by an outdated constitution and a disinterested school.

ln spite of these difficulties, the club has turned in a wonderful record. The members have worked and the club now has over one hundred dollars in its treasury. The first thing on the agenda was the drive for cash. 111 Lhe past, money drives

for various agencie~ ha,·e been conducted at differem Limes. This ha~ Jed to much confusion, bookkeeping difficulLies, ;ind ill will among the sLudcnts. This year Lhc club has incorporated all the dri,·es into one grand one. which took place during thc five weeks of school bdore Christmas n1c,nion. The club aimed at a $025 budget. The drive wa1, a greaL success, over $700 being received lrom sLudem s, [acuity, and Lower School. The money was clisLributcd LO Lhe Red Feather Campaign. The Schofield School, the R ed Cross, the Biddle Settlement H ouse and the :\l arch ol Dimes. The balance of the money is being kept for fuwre needs.

Student Council ,\ major pan or Lhc Swdent Council's time has been spem on the recreaLio11 room Lrying Lo make it fu lfill more co111pJcLcly its imponanL place in the life of the School. We hope that \\'C can list among our achievements a greater sense or rcspomibility on the part of the swtlcnt body for thl: reo·cation room. . \mong the more concrete accomplishmenLs of the Sllldelll Council have been: the arrival or the lirst Friends' Ccmral girl cheerleaders 10 help keep Lhc school'~ mor,ile up during a1hleLic contests. the <1cquisiLion oL a jukl: box LO be re11Led Lo all classe~ and swclen1 organiLatio11s ll'ho \\'ant a juke box !or any tlance., in Lite g)rnnasium. and the normal du ties of Lhc swdent (Ou nC'i I: such as. 1.he used book ~ale in the fall, the sale or rcfrcsh mcm~

at the: football game~. the Friday morning assembly. 1he Lost :incl Found, a nd the fire drills. This year's cou nril was well led by the president. Cunis Jones: the vice-president, J im Pooley, who has been one o( the harder working members of the swdent council since his election in his sophomore year: the secretary, Alice H es~. whose able minutes have gTcaLly helped the stuclem council: the chairman of Lhe recreation room committee, Dot Schwab, one of' Lhe origi nal representatives o[ the class of 1916; l\fary P ersons. whose sLeady hand has guided Lhe refrc~bmcnt commiLtee: and Herb Coss. whose able opin io ns helped the cmintil in many weighty mauers.

Senior Play Th is y<.:ar. 1he Senior Class decided to renew the old custom of presenting a senior play: the play chosen was The Night of Ja1111my Sixteenth. a murder trial. In this unusual play. the scene i, a courtroom. The principal witnesses come right frorn the audience. and best of all, a jury is chosen right from the spectat0rs to sit in a jury box on the stage and to pass judgment on the dc£endant, Karen Andre. In spite ol an extremely short rehearsal time-only one month-the whole cast wrned in excellent perlornrnnces in their respective roles. Sally Carson. as Karen Andre, played the ex-secretary of a ruth less millionaire, the murdered man. Sally, Cunis and Dick Randall, who played Larry Regan. an cxtonionist, together pulled a "not guilty'' verdict from the jury on both March I and 2. On the side ol the prosecution were Jane Raymond, wire of the dead .Bjorn Faulkner, the ruthless millionaire; Norman Robinson, father of Nancy Lee Fau Ikner, Jane Raymond and head of· a large bank; :incl Bruce Biddle, the Disu·ict Attorney.

Various wimesses were played excellemly by other members o( the class. Dr. Kirkland, the medical officer of the county, was played by Bill Cauffman. Diane Bault played a colored janitor's wife; while :\lice Hess did a Swedish housekeeper. Bill Grace was excellent as a rookie policeman, and Beverly Buck played the ''terpsichorean," the wife of a murdered nightclub proprietor. Ed Bram was to have played the part of Homer Van Fleet, a private deLecti"e, but :tt the last minute he was taken sick and Don Hunuingcr stepped into his role and did a grand job. David Peele rurnished the audience with some ot the most dramatic moments in the play, under his characterization of Sigurd .Junquist, the bookkeeper of Bjorn Faulkner. Ellen Burr played the role o( Jane Chandler. a fingerpr int expen, while Don Greenfield upheld the role of clerk and Ken Houtz the part of bailiff. ~lost of the credit for the fine performance of course must go to !l fr. Price for his fine directing. He pulled us through a bard schedule with nying colors and his help was invaluable in the analysis of the varied pans in the play. l'/\Cf 73
