^^LASSMATES, we are proud of the records we have taade to leave M -. behind lis here at Haverford. We are proud of what we have done \j in Track, in Soccer, in Football, and even in Cricket. We can look -I with pride upon our development of a Debating Team, a Press Club, a Classical Club, a new Haverjordian, a better Scientific Society, and a finer Students' Association with its more highly respected Honor System.
Pride in these things, our own class activities, has been the ever-constant inspiration in the preparation of this Record Book. We believe this book to be entirely in accord with the spirit of '25, in that it is better than any other Record heretofore published. There are some weak points in this book — there are in all; but it has been edited to the very best of our ability, and we ask critics to be generous — to consider first the circumstances under which it hus been produced.
We are greatly indebted to Wright, Johnston, Warfield, Stifler, Chadwick, Bates, Stokes, Silver, Lord, Heilman, Kumm, Ball, Yerkes, and Montgomery for the write-ups of those activities in which they have been most vitally inter- ested. We cannot thank Acton enough for the colorful and inclusive class history, and Prokosch for the execution of all art work. We are highly appre- ciative of the assistance given the Business Manager by Douglas and the .Johnsons; of write-ups of the Radio Club, Chess Club, Seaman's Club, and. Junior Varsity Soccer, by Halstead, Leeds, Gross, and Haines, respectively, of '20; and finally, of all assistance given with the personal write-ups by various members of our own class.
Without cooperation, this Record would have been impossible, but all have generously helped, and as a consequence '25 has done its part in upholding a Haverfordian tradition of twenty-five years' standing.

'fX 7"E ALL have our ambitions, and Con's is to become a medical mail carrier. * ' No doubt, after one of his female followers has once hooked him, he will still be more eager to get the mail before anyone else. The most astounding bull sessions in center have been the result of our attempts to solve the ethical problems compovmded by the wife of the Dog. And, speaking of ethics, Rufus is still trying to puzzle out whether "One makes chairs to get skill, or gets skill to make chairs." Conrad always has plenty of weapons lying around, but they never did anyone any good until Lord (mighty in battle) used them very successfully against the Class of '26, who were trying to disturb his rest.
One of the sjjots dear to his heart was the realm ruled jointly by Jiramie Babbit and Miss Beard. There Conrad poked our insides and peered down our throats to his evident gratification. But the finest sight of all is to see Con, with his radiant blush and all snaked up, on his way to a date with a red-hot mamma.

ERIC GLENDENNING BALL
400.5 GKOVEL.VND Avenue Baltimore, Mn.
Born, Coventry, England, 1004
Junior Varsity Soccer (3); Menil)or Penn State Champion Team (4); Varsity Soccer (4), "H" (4); Track Team (2, 3, 4); Cross- country Team (3); Manager of Basketball (4), "H " (4) ; Athletic Cabinet (4) ; Scientific Society (1, 2, 3, 4); Chemistry Club (4); Splinter on Scarlet Board (4) ; Senior Day Committee; President, Baltimore Club (4).
ERIC is one of the most far-sighted individuals in the class. Three years ago he saw a notice to the effect that those wishing to manage the basketball team should sign below, and immediately he began to plan a few week-end trips. He signed, and gradually })assed through, the stages of an embryo manager, or, as Pratt would say, his ontogeny was a brief recapitulation of the development of ba.sketball managers. The final result was the attainment of the manager's job, and the development of a schedule with three games in New York City. There is a great attraction about the big city which may not be connected with ba.sketball.
Eric manages to get back to college three days after his de]iarture, but even then he finds it hard breaking away. The first of these memorable week-ends was responsible for the visit of some of his associates to the Dean in order to have the rumor of his elopement investigated. It was unnecessary to put detectives on his trail, however, as half an hour later he showed up indignantly denying all rumors.

ttX/'OLT might as well listen for I am going to tell you anyway," says Frank, and -*- you might just as well pay attention for the agony will be over that much sooner. He can talk faster and longer than any one in college, but at times one wishes he would confine his activities to the debating team.
Frank certainly ought to make a good business man for he is well remembered by the Freshmen due to his Memmorabilia Complex; and by his Assistant Managers, to whom he dictated Cap and Bells Play letters. (The writer has never yet seen him write one himself.)
During Senior year we have seen \ery little of him, and it is understood that the Pee & Wee is planning to pay larger dividends because of the increased traffic between Haverford College and Brookline. How about it, Frank? Does she think you are a genius, too?

"H
EY, is that tlie way you talk about my wife," shouts Bob, rushing to the defense of liis red-headed frau. Bob has gone through four years of living with a sailor (with the accompanying yarns), a groom (including that horsy smell), and a man about town (and the line of drool). Can that be what makes him so pensive when he sucks that pi]je that smells to heaven? Or is it some golden-haired French damsel that worries his soul?
Bob traveled to Princeton with the soccer team and lead cheers so effectively that we frightened the Princeton stands into silence. Bob made a habit of that in his job as oflScial haranguer of the multitude. If you see Bob with an car-to-ear grin on his face in conference with two or three others, do not conclude too hastily that he is planning a trip to Baltimore or a journey to a certain well-known location in Philadelphia.

THE natural ability of winning the hearts of all those who come in contact with Wray, has made him one of the jolly good fellows of our class. A fun-loving complex has always been a dominant part of Wray's nature. Just recall that day, when, as a most verdant Rhinie, he went to amuse the sweet things on Bryn Mawr campus by displaying a well-trained beard, a cjuestionably colored sweat-shirt, and Chem. Lab. hookah. (Anti-smoking regulations were immediately instituted to pre\'ent further intrusions.)
All who really know Wray must admit that he is one of the busiest men in college. Not only does he conscientiously carry out duties equi\'alent to those of the average busy Senior, by way of managing the intricate business policies of this Record Book, and the Circidation Department of the Haoerfordian — but also the duties of the man /re.s' occupe dc hi passion tendre, are, from the appearance of a well-beaten path to Ardmore, faithfully carried out. Just try to find Wray in college some evening — ■ we all know better by now — but why? Where? Well, there's a reason !

We understand from reliable sources that he is one on the men who keep Beta RhoUing. "Geff" never stood out in front of Barclay yelling "Rhinehart," he only arose in the dining-room a couple of times a day, amidst wild applause, to announce: "Instrumen hal Club at seven o'clock. Bring your bot-hles," or words to that effect. When " Geff " came to college he assured us that he had never had a drink before — before breakfast. But really "Geff" never does drink — water. It is always "One cup of Jamoc, please," or "Put a head on this, waiter." (This is a technical term used in playing the game of Budweiser.)
Occasionally he deigns to try milk, but only when there is erl floating on the Jamoc. "Geff" hates erl, especially on his ersters. Ever since the famous announce- ment was made to " Geff," " We are four," he has been uneasy. Speaking of announce- ments, who knows? We don't; but we expect a lot of "Geff."

He was the giant center of the basketball team and holds the college record for the pole-vault. He also took part in the famous Lafayette mud battle.
If you want to catch a 2.10 train with Chad it is absolutely necessary to tell him it goes at two. If you want to study, keep a quarter of a mile away, for he plays three ukeleles and a clarinet (not all at once). He also wields a wicked ring and a mean horizontal bar. Some lucky lady will doubtless soon appreciate the giant center and all the little Chadwicks will try to be as good Haverfordians as then- daddy.

LYMAN is one of the Beau Brummels of the class. For two years he wasted his sweetness on the desert air of North Barclay, but during his last two years he has retrieved and uj)lield the lagging; social reputation of Founders. It is a safe assertion that Lyman knows more socially prominent people in New York and Phila- deli)hia than any other man in college. His mysterious comings and goings have aroused at once the curiosity and the envy of his neighbors. For him, college is just a resting place between week-end excursions, a convenient basis from which to start his social expeditions.
Lyman is also an accomjjlished pianist, an artist, and a student of music. His eleven o'clock concerts have caused much gnashing of teeth in Founders, and he is a regular cash customer at the Academy and the Metropolitan Opera House, where he never "sits cheajjcr" than a box, or at least the parquet. He has chosen to win fame as an architect, but we feel sure that after a short and successful career in that profession he will retire and assume his natural position as a prominent figure among the four hundred.

DOUG is a very versatile fellow; he can play cellos, bass-viols, and guitars; he can sing in a glee club — or lead it on occasion; lie has trod tlie stages of the Union and Roberts Hall, and in Senior year he managed the tennis team. But in addition to all that, he holds considerable fame for various activities (far too numerous to mention fullyj in the dormitories, at Atlantic City, and elsewhere.
He was practically engaged during the first three years, and officially engaged for the fourth, but such proximity to the matrimonial state never seriously inter- fered with his naturally buoyant disposition when a little Cain-raising seemed in order. During his sojourn in North Barclaj', on the other hand, his insistent bass from the third floor often kept the boys in a comparatively noiseless state — temporary but complete. And his fatherly advice and guidance were inexhaustible. (Ask Hinrichs.)
But whatever else may be said, he ?.y versatile; and when he finally chooses between music and the professions, his possibilities should be boundless.

MARTIN has lived in Founders throughout his college career and personifies the very genius of that dormitory. Here he has held supreme .sway through all the vicissitudes and ravages of time, holding in subjection those unruly elements which from time to time have invaded his domain.
Martin's genius takes the form of a capacity for art and music, a great aptitude for argument and discussion, and an incurable indecision of mind. He is second only to Johnston in ability to hold forth on either side of any subject which may arise. Indeed, he was one of the props of the class debating society before the fatal schism which residted in the death of that organization — but that is another story. Martin has confined his athletic activities to track, where he has been known on occasion to vaidt hurdles at a quite respectable rate of speed.
Although he has failed dismally in two great aims of his college life — to cure Lang of punning and to dissuade Gertie from entering the Church — Martin is sure to be successful in the much less complex and more encouraging field of teaching.

Tom is a man of regular habits in all things, including a regular berth on All-American soccer teams, a regular job on the basketball team, cricket team, and a regular place in all bull sessions.
Due to the fact that he was born some twenty minutes before Phil, Tom has always assumed the position of moral preceptor for the family. His prestige in this line was terribly weakened by the letter from the Reverend Kelly of Princeton, how- ever. There are three things that Tom delights in: A good meal, a good date, and ten hours of sleep. Therefore, it is easy to see what a self-sacrificing fellow he is, for he is going to be a doctor and will get none of them.

HALF the time Curt is the most basliful boy in our class, the rest of the time he is the frankest. Curt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and ever since it has prevented him from talking very much. Y'ovi must listen closely lest you miss part of his remarks, which are well worth hearing; but be sure that you hear them the first time, they are unrepeatable. Of course, we must mention Curt's red hair — now that's over. For a gauge of his ability we refer you to the activities of the Caj) and Bells Club during the year, all of which he knew about, in his capacity of vice-j)resident, though he won't accept full blame. Curt spent the third quarter receiving money from patronesses, and distributing it to the Pennsylvania Railroad for taking Big Bertha to Atlantic City, Wilson College, and way stations. By an extraordinary coincidence Curt played cricket the same spring that he took French II. The world ne^'er reallj' bothers him, and he regards humanity with plutocratic scorn. Twenty years from now he will be riding as serenely and imperturbably as ever between Radnor and town, knowing that our sincere friendship is always his.

A LUMBERING run is heard on the stairs and little Dicky comes headfirst -*^^ into the room, beaming. "I enjoyed that!" is the first remark to escape his tender lips. The happy manager of one of our most successfid teams has just been kicked in the shins, or has struck out three times straight. Irrepressible, is what we might say, except that we dislike tiie word. Even when Stifler dumped him by mistake Dick was pleased. Call it what you like.
Dick has gone through all the trials of many marriages. He has withstood the beef-eater's shoes, Schulze's tobacco, and Willcy's shrieks. Of late he has basked in the sunshine of the combined wit of Ball and Sanders. No wonder he smiles, the worst is over. He is ready to descant on the virtues of any member of Haverford College, including the animals served in the dining-room. He tries to be sternly moral but his supreme good nature is too much for any affectation of Puritanism; in fact, the Purity League never turned out in greater force than one night to greet little Dicky in the sunken garden.

T)ILL is a strong believer in intensive study. He is nothing if not intensive, and -'-' whatever he starts he sticks to until it is accomplished, and even longer. He stuck to his room in North Barclay until Gustav came along, and then he stuck to Gustav. Most of all he pertinaciously wears a pair of knickers just like Wally Stokes', which were the delight of everybody he passed — in Norway and Sweden. Bill is a traveler and a linguist, and a whiz at Nordic. If you want to see him really happy you must catch him unawares at a Wagnerian opera. But we must except the physics lab. Some day soon, he is going to make his mark as a physicist, or a psychiatrist, or a piscator, or whatever it is. Bill has always been a determined supporter of all our athletic teams, and wherever "Swish, swack, scarlet and black, thou," resounds. Bill is sure to be heard, pleading for victory. What's more, he has often gotten it, and we hope he always will, in everything.

HOLLY is one of the hard workers of the class. His job on the football team has been faithfully performed for four seasons with thoroughness and distinction. Xational fame came to Holly with the write-up that told how he lost .50 pounds in one month after he had said: "Coach, I want to make your team!" He has also filled the pitcher's box for two springs. We personally think he might have been a great bowler if he had taken up the "gentleman's game."
Irving has probably more nicknames than anyone in the class, and these are an indication of tiie affection his classmates have for him. These names range through "Shadow" and "Royal," ad infinitum.
In matters j)hilosophical and amorous Irving displays a naivete wliich is de- lightful, constantly worrying about things the rest of us take for granted or dismiss with a shrug. He worries because he is a thoughtful youth, one concerned with the evil tendencies of the age. We are told that he is a member of the Law Enforcement League and the W. C. T. U.

Mutt believes that religion is something which the college man often neglects. Not the Colonel. Every Sunday will find him sitting quietly in a pew in one of the Bryn INIawr churches. What matters it if he does speak to a few of the fair ones as they are passing out of church. He has sat through the sermon and imbibed the atmosphere of the church, besides lending his presence. What more can be asked of any man? Give him a chance to hold a charge in a popular Bryn Mawr church, and who knows, we might make a minister out of Mutt.

WE FIRST knew Chuck as one of the pair of brave, bold youths who, on the first night of Freshman year, locked their door, defied the Sophomore enter- tainment committee, and coldly disdained that august and determined body's in- vitation to sundry delightful doings out on the campus. We rated him for damn fool courage on a par with D'Artagnan, the Cid, and the unknown desperado who was reputed to have told Fritzie where to go.
Chuck has always been one of our major enigmas. How anyone can celebrate the acquisition of a large and gleaming Duesenberg by dragging do^\ni an "A" average, what time he illustrates the Dean's new book and tampers dangerously with the half-mile record and the hearts of many maidens, is more than we can see. What will power! What organization! What something! If we weren't afraid of giving him a swelled head, we'd state it as our opinion that when in the lonesome latter years the members of our not wholly undistinguished class are gathered and met together to compare notes, flasks, and wives, the sure finger of Time will point to Chuck and the voice of History will shriek in our ears, "There stands your genius!"

HERE we have the junior partner of the firm of Johnson & Johnson, remarkable not for the manufacture of surgical supplies, but for the fact that they travel from Newcastle to college every year and get here. When Phil fondly gra.sped his diploma from the Newcastle High School and announced that he was to embark for Haverford College in the fall of the year, all Newcastle breatlied a sigh of relief and pedestrians took a new lease on life. Pet dogs again became the craze and street cleaners were allowed to take out insurance policies.
Curiosity concerning the source of material used in stringing tennis racquets led Phil into a course in biology and corroborated the rumors which he had enter- tained. And last but not least, he is noted for a dogged kind of perseverance. Having twice failed, he is making a final attempt to raise a moustache. As the Record goes to press the results are still in doubt, but whatever else we may say about Phil, we must admit that he is a hard man to discourage.

AMES is the champion of e\-erything Nordic. He has ruled as supreme authority on all questions pertaining to Sweden and the Swedes during the past four years. That he is a true descendant of Eric the Red we cannot doubt since his hirsute achieve- ment of last November. After rashly betting beards to stiff collars on La Follette he liad to produce a beard, and leave the collars to liis aljcttor.
Ames is largely responsible for raising the Ilaverjordian to a most dignified posi- tion, so that it is feared by the News and mentioned in the Scarlet. In fact, the Havcrfurdian (all rights reserved, including the Scandinavian), has been his plaything all through college. He resigned from the board to prove that it couldn't exist with- out him, and upon his return he whipped it into an entirely original form.
Ames has conclusively proved one thing — that he can continue to argue when the matter in debate has been conclusively proved. When the whole class declares its Modernism, Ames quietly asserts that he is a Fundamentalist. If the class de- cided to die and go to heaven, he would undoubtedly live on forever and go to Swarthmore.

ly'AE.L is a man who believes in doing e\"erytliing as it should be done. He goes -^^ at his studies with the same determination and persistence which he employs in athletics and in his social activities. He has been a faithful and consistent per- former in football, where his ability to stand up under punishment won him the title of the "Iron Man," and where he won his letter in Senior year.
For years Karl was considered one of the moral lights of the class, but he has now sunk so low as to smoke and dance and to travel on Sunday. The appearance of this debauchery in Karl's life has not, however, detracted from his zest for work. He still insists on taking an extra course every year, apparently for the mere pleasure of ha\'ing more classes a week than ordinarj^ men. The result of this, together with his atlaletic work, is to keep him always on the go, and no time is allowed to be wasted throughout his busy day.

MONK should have liA'ed in Elizabethan times, when the pim was considered the most elegant form of wit. Beyond a doubt he would have been made dictator of England inside of three months. For if there is one thing which delights Monk's heart more than going home for the week-end it is to pull a rotten pun and then watch his audience suffer. Even the fact that his extreme ticklishness easily exposes him to the heartless vengeance of his hearers cannot keep him from punning with his \-ery last breath. Only those who know Monk can fully appreciate the horror of this habit. Imagine living in constant danger of being told to open the window so that he can throw out his chest, or that Anaximenes was the bozo who invented "an-examination"!
The time which is not consumed in thinking up terrible puns is spent by Monk in teaching Meldrum how little that professor knows about chemistry, or in engaging in photographic research in his own "sanctum sanctorum" in Sharpless Hail. If he is not murdered by some irate sufferer as the result of an especially bad pun. Monk is bound to be a great success in his chosen field of chemistry.

WELL, how about a little trip to Boston?" Longberger not only swung a mean foot as captain of soccer and a mean l)at as captain of baseball last year, but he also unravels a most excruciating line of information, or should we say the proverbial "bull"? If you are doubtful, ask Doctor Pratt about some of Split's new discoTeries in biology. There must be some grains of truth in it, though, for his marks managed to warrant him a jilace in Founders Club.
Dick started in to do lots of things around college and elsewhere when he was still a cherub, but he found that his life as a wife of Sir Frazier lacked inspiration, so he left college Sophomore year and went to California. Just what he learned there is a cjuestion, but that is the place where men will be men. Anyway, when he came back, he seemed to know what it was all about, but wasn't satisfied imtil he made sure by touring Europe last summer. His haberdashery became meaner and his emotions more tepid, so that now the new Henry gets run ragged trj'ing to keep up — up Nortli.

BEHOLD the original silver-tongued orator! When Durrell begins to speak the worlds pause to listen. Throughout his college career he has stood as the per- sonification of the very s])irit of Haverford debating, and without him that noble sport would surely have died a slow death. Lord has more stage-pre.sence than any other man with whom we are acquainted. His acting ability is well evidenced by the fact that for four successive years he has played an important role in the Cap and Bells play. In fact, a play would not seem like a Haverford College production without Durrell in it.
Durrell was a football player of no mean ability until injuries forced him to drop that form of amu.sement from his program. But his football training has stood him in good stead in his monthly quarrels with Jerry Gross, with whom he roomed for two years. When a desk and lamp — followed rapidly by beds, chairs, tables, clothing, books, shoes, and the wall paper— come hurtling down the steps of Founders, everyone knows that the fight between Lord and Gross has begun and that there will be no more peace for the rest of the day.

/^NE evening when several Seniors were gathered by, at, or between the Victor ^^ on the third floor of center, including all of Monty, the Vic gurgled that soul- stirring melody, "The Prisoner's Song." When the last note trailed into nothingness Monty was heard to sigh: "You know that coidd be the saddest song — " That is just like Hugh, so sympathetic, and kind — and \'irile. Monty has a very musical nature, and is always ready with a song, like "The mountaineers have shaggy beards." When Converse and George (dear little George) nm about calling for Mr. Mont- gomeree, it is beautiful to see them all playing together, and when he takes them gently on his knee to spank them, we all urge him quietly to wring their necks. Monty has broken several athletic records in college, begiiming with the javelin. Freshman year, and including all javelin records to date. Hugh would have been the biggest boy in our class if his growth had not been stunted by his wi\-es. Peck, Hibby, Billo and Rhoads.

Not content with taking one out in a stunning closed car, he has bought himself a great vehicle (some descendent of a prairie schooner), and now he can take out at least a half a dozen and not have to put out the Standing Room Only sign. Well, you just don't know Frank.
Frank has risen to unprecedented heights in the Instrumental Club this year, and his drum solos have been featured at every concert. Frank also is a bear at Economics, but he says that no factory in the world ever had a labor turn-over that could equal his luck with women. A new girl every month keeps him busy, but a little fagged — ^he no sooner finds out that the great-grandmother of his latest had chronic false teeth tlian he turns away in scorn — -and another heart is broken.

IN SPITE of all temptations to mix too many dates, night raids, and bull-sessions with studies, Chalmers has avoided dissipation and has gone about things in his own quiet way, chiefly, no doubt, because he landed in a comparatively peaceful retreat in Founders and stayed there until the end of Junior year when, in an evil hour, he consented to sjiend his last year in a Lloyd Hall den of iniquity.
But even with this handicaj), Chalmers still maintains his well-known youthful and athletic stride as he goes down to Sharpless to argue isotopes and other funny things with Hinrichs; the sibilant exclamations, to the tune of shattering glassware, would delight the heart of P'ritzie — if only the latter were here to enjoy them.
His room-mates tried vainly to lure him into the engaged class. When he does leap, he will probably break a record — along with a host of feminine hearts. And with his experience with the Haverfordian and Record, he is expected to do great things in other lines.

FRED is the temperamental and artistic genius of the class. In Freshman year he amazed faculty and undergraduates with his precocious learning and ever since has been carrying off all available honors and then looking for more worlds to conquer. His election to Phi Beta Kappa in Junior year came as a climax to this side of his college activity.
But Fred is more than a first-rate student. His ability to imitate feminine mannerisms with great art has been evidenced in more than one Cap and Bells and Classical Club play. Still another activity in which Fred has engaged with great success is the difficult occupation of writing for the Haverfordian. And then — tennis! His room contains all the literature on that sport which is available, and he may be found at all hours practicing his strokes against a wall, to the destruction of the dormi- tory. If ambition and persistence have their reward, Fred will be a champion in but a few short years and his dearest aim will be fulfilled.

We admit that we are a bit previous, since the title does not actually accrue to the person of our distinguished classmate until the end of his three years at Oxford. When the 1924 announcements of the Rhodes Foundation were made, we WTOte immediately to H. R. H. George Windsor and proved that an earldom was only just. We not only listed Dusty's major activities, such as the athletic ability which won three varsity letters in Sophomore year, and bis position as chief stirrer of the Student Council melting pot, and his unfailing championship of all that he considers pro bono Haverfordiensi, but we also mentioned hundreds of details reminiscent of our happiest college days, not forgetting the "A" average of our football captain, and the Dean's subsequent speech in Collection. We only fear that Dusty will like England so well that he will stay there, and hence that Haverford, so used to conforming to his every whim, will decide to cross the Atlantic too.

However, Bill often eludes the coach's watchful eye and steals away to the Rancocas where he takes a bigger chance of getting wet in those treacherous canoes.

SINCE Jimmy's first days of slipping custards into people's laps in the dining- room and running around calling, "I AM FRESH!" at the request of the Hazing Committee, he has been one of the more handsome jesters of the class. His humor is somewhat higher than Lang's, oh, about on a par with Heilman's. This humorous tendency led Jimmy to resurrect the Scarlet, which aided bj' several pulchritudinous librarians increased the library attendance beyond Dean P.'s previously fondest reveries.
The gym has always been Jim's headquarters. He slides around the flying rings like a true simian. Pole-vaulting is another of his pursuits, but his footwork on the Junior Varsity helped win the state championship.
The particular idiosyncrasies of the youth have amused Center ever since Jim and Eric left Merion to live on the heights of Olympus. Somewhere he became inspired to play a banjo-mandolin, and his duets with Chad and the hall concerts with the other Center musicians drove Bates to make the famous remark: "Why don't you take that ! ? ; : ! noise to the Union?"

BERT looked down on our infantile writhings in Freshman year and curled a Sophomoric lip. Came the wanderlust, however, and he took a year out in which to see the world, returning as one of our own select company and thereby bringing to the Class of '25 the best left jab and half of the Englishmen in college.
Of Bert's characteristics we shall remember chiefly his amazing faculty for in- spring trust, confidence, admiration, adoration, what not, in the women of this uni- verse. IMothers come begging him to faA"or their recalcitrant men-children with the blessing of his influence. Nice old ladies while away their idle hours by fashioning raiment for his adornment. Debutantes cry for him. Is it the smile or the accent or what? We don't know; we've heard them rave about both — accent and smile. What we do know, however, is that we're jolly well fed up, don't you know, with this business of finding that we rate about four times as much with the prevailing young women by claiming friendship with Savage as we rate on our own unsupported merits. Beastly nuisance, what, having a woman singing another chap's praises!

<<T TEY John! Got any tobacco? Now, how 'bout a match?" That is the Center Al Barclay cry of need which has been supplied by John for three years. When John is not smoking in his room, or leading the Glee Club, he spends his time mainly in two ways. First and obviously the most necessary, for they say that everyone must have a certain amount, is his ability to sleep. He is the greatest little sleeper in Center. Directly after lunch, he plays his uke, then after a short time comes the old reliable, "Well, guess I'll take a little snooze. Wake me up at .5.30!"
Next, is his supreme joy when wTCstling with Holly, Monty, or Wally. It makes little difference which; in fact, he has been known to take them all on. He seems equally to enjoy both the match and the shower afterward (providing he does not get his hair wet, hence the bathing cap in the shower room).
When John entered college he had just been the recipient of a Ford. For a while all ran along smoothly until said car began to wilt. He then exchanged it for a Packard, .^ome Ford.

npO MANY members of the class, Charley is still a puzzle. To those who have A been permitted to know him well he is re\-ealed as one of the best and truest of friends. His natural reserve has kept him aloof from the crowd and its activities, but he is regarded by his fellows with a certain awed respect which is accorded to no one else in the class. He is a living example of the proverb, "You can't keep a good man down."
The Harerjordian has been the field where Charley has best exhibited his talents. With a pen which is equal or superior in dexterity to that of any man in college he has portrayed life in multitudinous forms for his readers. Especially does Charley excel in tales of olden times and in quaint historical essays. His art reached a climax in Senior year with his tale of Mary the cow — which, however, severely shocked the ultra-fastidious. An example of the trust which the class reposes in Charley's literary powers was his almost unanimous selection as class poet.

John is the champion of cricket among the students, and the cricketeers are indeed fortunate in having a champion of his ability to manage and protect them on this occasion of their great English trip. He is a good-natured boy, and it takes a lot to get iiim angry. The gang on the east side of Barclay almost succeeded when they broke most of the glass out of his windows with .snowballs. (We shall never forget John's futile attempts to stop that onslaught.) And yet he soon forgot it and forgave them all. So it is that Silver gets along well with every one, including the faculty. We shall never forget the time that he was caught walking across the campus carrying Uncle Billy's bag. It is not certain just what John is going to do when he graduates this spring, but we feel sure he won't be a porter.

RUT sneaked into college with the aid of a shoehorn, bringing with him a silver- framed picture and a desire to produce uproar. Today the shoehorn rests on his bureau; tlie picture reveals the same alluring Florida scenery, and the desire is merely dormant within his well-padded figure. This urge to action drove him to explore heat-pipes and paint signs on the gym roof, and even, with Jim and Bob, to stage a battle against the Purity League that filled the Sunken Garden with carnage and reduced the league to impotency.
His energies were sapped by these nightly activities, so he rested a great deal in his brown arm-chair, reading the Satnrday Evening Post, and the Red Book. Senior year he even pretended to be serious, and spent his time jilaying basketball, studying anatomy, and ordering around the assistant managers of baseball. Despite his ponderous method of argument about his relatives. Rut is as good-natured as any- one living on college food. He would even take a sick Swarthmorean around to Doctor Babbitt.

KQAY, did you see that horse? But he was beautiful! Maybe he can't jump!" ^ That's Reds all over — a true lover of horses. Every Wednesday, foul or fair, he has gone riding near Radnor, and nearly always has taken a member of the fair sex with him. Sometimes they just rode; sometimes they jumped, and occasionally they rode to hounds. In all of these they were successful, but when they tried to drive a young colt in a break-cart they came to grief. It took a sledge hammer and a crowbar to disentangle the wreckage. Reds is an accomplished horseman never- theless.
Moreover, Reds is the business man of the class. So systematic and thorough are his methods that at the end of Sophomore year they elected him manager of the co-o])erative store. In this position Reds proceeded to distinguish himself. By dint of long hours of hard work he dragged that organization out of debt and placed it on a firm financial basis, a feat unheard of in the annals of the store. After Reds graduates, business will claim him .somewhere, and we all wish him the best of luck.

STONEY joined us in the Sophomore year, hailing from the ancient and honor- able Amherst — pronounced Am'herst. Since that time his doings have been somewhat of a mystery to us — sometimes we would feel that at last we had his number and then suddenly he would wriggle out of our grasp. That is to say, at one time we would put him down as an unregenerate "snake" and then suddenly he would treat the "adored one" with such admirable disdain, that we wondered how we could ever have been guilty of such a blunder. However, he regularly attends service in a certain church in Bryn Mawr, which regardless of the motive, is evidence of his sterling character. Also, this young fellow, if carefully observed, may frequently be seen on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons to make visits to the aforesaid hamlet, which, it is strongly suspected, is not just to see the place. Were this squire of dames charged directly with the foregoing, he would stoutly deny any such implications and show the absurdity of such accusations with such diabolical cleverness, that the man with the audacity to prefer such a charge must retire precipitously in order to save his own spotless character.

RAY is our class juggler. He can juggle anything from a soccer ball, discus, books, to a lady's heart. AVitness: Soccer captain, the college record in the discus throw. Founders" Club in Junior year, picnics, house-parties, and the ever- increasing number of evenings spent in Philly. As a loyal member of the "social correspondence school," he keeps Roland and Uncle Sam busy. Even the nightly cry of the amorous "Hap," "Let's go to bed," receives the reply, "As soon as I write a letter."
Ray is continuing his studies next year at Harvard and we know his hard, dili- gent work and loyalty will obtain for him there, the same high degree of success that he has had at Haverford. After a two-year study of landscape gardening, Ray's time will be divided between the trees and shrubbery at Wayne, and a certain i)arlor in Philly. We suspect that his first landscape gardening project will be in connection with a bungalow. Good luck and best wishes, Ray!

WHAT is all that smoke coming out of South Barclay there? A fire? No indeed, just Charlie indulging in his favorite pastime of smoking. Dauntless, he attacks cigar, cigarette, pipe, or hookah with the same vigor, and the Cuban Cigar Makers' Union has bought a commutation ticket to Haverford to allow their sales- man ample opportunity to sell Charlie anything his heart desires.
LTnfortunately, Charlie's passion for guns has been objected to by the faculty, else the squirrel crop might not be so plentiful. But what he lost out in that field he gained in sjiorts. Talk about a rabid fan! He can tell you e^■erything from the Yankees' batting a\'erage to the number of records Nurmi has broken — and that requires some memory. Charlie has been active in all forms of athletics in his career — with uniform misfortune as to injuries. As captain of the last Wogglebug Team at Haverford he suffered a broken leg, and even cricket brings its little share of breaks and bends. However, Charlie has his eye on a lower berth to England, so somebody will have to step!

ANYONE peeping into Room 38 Be at any hour of the twenty-four may see one of two things: Silver in a state of nature, or Ben gazing off into the blue. Per- haps he is thinking of the ancient Breckinridges, his next party, "a virgin on the verge," or perhaps he is like "Le Penseur," just thinking. At least it is either very dignified or utterly silly. Ben is the most encouraging man to all novice humorists, and a joy to e^-e^y joke-teller's heart, for he will laugh earnestly and heartily at any joke he hears.
Ben has the distinction of being a member of an All-State Soccer Team, the author of a famous mechanical wonder, and the wife of the much harassed manager of cricket. We venture to state that, next to Gerty, Ben will be the most distinguished member of our class. His bearing, his accomplishments as actor (that bright star), vocalist, and poet, and the probability of his parting his beard in the middle, all point in that direction. Add to that the ability to take tea with a dowager of fifty as affably as with a deb of twenty, and you have a combination to which to point with pride.

"/^H, AVHAT a handsome man!" This cry from feminine throats is the
^^ announcement of Jimmy's arri\al on the track with his javelin, and perhaps
elsewhere. However, clever as he is at charming the ladies. Jim is sublimely modest
about his powers; he is shy, nay, even bashful and retiring in the presence of strangers.
His muscular prowess has been ])roved on the track team with the discus, shot, and javelin. It took three or four shots of water-on-the-knee, grave restraint imposed by Jimmy Babbitt, and an army of specialists to keep Jim from being a star fullback.
As Lang would say Jim as])ires to be a cut-up, and the Harvard Medical School will again have reason to admire Haverford for the type of men she turns out and for lier thoroughness in fundamentals. We predict that about the time Jim washes off the last of his Pittsburgh soot, he'll return to the "Smoky City" to remove the appendices and dollars of the last of the Carnegies.

THE college career of this diminutive representative from the wilds of Jersey has been one of contrasts. Freshman year he roomed in first floor Center with an ungodly crew — Johnston, Chadwick, and Willey — and lived for a year amid the constant uproar caused bj' frequent, bloodthirsty night-raids and continual bull- sessions. Then in Sophomore year quiet Founders took him to her heart, and there he has sojourned in peace for the last three years, dividing his time between Founders and that other haven of rest — the Library. As a result of this latter proclivity he has become the sole mediary between the trembling student body and the stern-faced librarians.
Not satisfied with having exchanged the riotous merriment of Center for the pious peace of Founders, Gertie has shocked the college by avowing his intention of turning his back on all worldly affairs and entering the Church. It is a simple matter to picture him a few years hence as a good bishop, taking tea with the ladies of his parish and enjoying life in general.

IMAGINE, sweet reader, a slender youth, snatched from his native hills, from his goats and cows and pastoral joys, and transported to the Merion Hall of 1921. In this mire, this fen of strange sayings and rollicking songs, we found Austin Wright. It required the young man a year to adjust himself to the rude shocks of this period, to come into his own. On reaching the rank of Junior, therefore, he married the Monkey and moA-ed into Founders. Outwardly, the match has been a shining example of domestic propriety and connubial bliss, but in many respects it has proved a hectic experience for his gentle companion; we shall say nothing here, however, of the little tiffs which occurred with such delightful freciuency, nor of a pardonable infidelity inspired by the lips and eyes of C — 11 — n M — re.
There are some tilings about Austin which the whole world has heard. First among these is his laugh. More than this, he is an athlete, of intramural fame, an aspiring and successful scholar, a fiddler of nimble and cimning skill, and a poet, who, at the end of our Junior year, won the first of the Hibbard Garrett prizes, to the glory of his class.

ttTVJO, CHESTER, that is not 'Rabbit' Maranville playing short stop, that is 1^ Hap Yerkes. I know it is hard to tell the difference; even McGraw finds it hard, but it is Hap and that's all there is to it."
Hap was one of the very few men to win his baseball "H" in Rhinie year, and it was no surprise when he was chosen to pilot the Haverford swatters after holding down the short-stop berth for three years. In his several years of ball he has developed an uncanny knack of waiting for a muddy field and then throwing (intentionally, darn him) low balls over to Geff Billo at first, just low enough for Geff to get them on the pick-up with all the mud that usually collects at that portion of the field. Our little Harmon thought he would like to manage the football team, so as his apprenticeship he worked (???) a few summers in a camp of Semitic nature just to get the financial atmosphere; add to that one year under Charlie Bader and you have one of the best managers Haverford has ever had for football — and that is saying a lot.

JOHN C. STARBUCK
IN THE death of John C. Starbuck, or Jack as we had always known him, the class of 1925 lost one of its most valued members. He was the friend of all of us and the enemy of no one. Where he did not agree with us, where he did not see as we did, he was always charitable and never critical. Having determined the right course, however, he stuck to that course with an unswerving perseverance which won the admiration of all. There was no half way, no middle course for Jack. What- ever he did, he did well and to the best of his ability, whether it was lessons, athletics, or other activities. An unprepared lesson was for him a catastrophe. Bridge, bull sessions and other popular indoor sports held no attraction for him. In short, he strove to eliminate the wasteful and useless from his life. And yet Jack was never a recluse nor a grind. He was always glad to welcome us to his room and was never too busy to talk to us in a cheery and sensible manner.
His extra curriculum activities were numerous and varied. He was for two years a member of the varsity soccer team, receiving the "H" at the end of his last season. He managed our freshman track team and was captain of the second tennis team in junior year. He was a member of the Scientific Society, the Social Science Club, the 1925 Debating Society, and was Secretary of the class at the time of his death. Finally he was President of the Y. M. C. A., an office for which he was aptly suited, and which he richly deser\-ed after three years of conscientious work with that organization. Unfortunately the press of the.se activities kept Jack so busy that we saw little of him, living as he did in third floor North. Jack realized this better perhaps than we did and he had planned to room with the Gang in Center during Senior year, but fate robbed us of this pleasure. He died very suddenly of pneumonia at Eagles Mere, Pa., on August 12, 1924. And so, although we do not have his jjhysical presence with us, we have the memories of his splendid ideals to guide us in the future.
SHREVE VANDEVER
.•«,
IN VANDEVER, Haverford, and the class of 1925 in particular, had a very prom- ising man. As a perfect gentleman and a delightful companion he won the respect and admiration of all who knew him, and was destined to become one of the most popular members of the class, but death untimely took him from us. During his stay here at Haverford, Shreve gave promise of developing into a man of first-class track ability, and would no doubt have been one of the mainstays of the freshman team, had not sickness made it impossible for him to compete in any of the meets. During the summer, this sickness took a more serious nature, and when we returned to school in the fall, we were to learn that we had lost one of our number. We feel sure that had it been possible for him to remain with us, he would have become a model of those qualities of gentleman and scholar for which Haverford so clearly stands.

PAUL TURNER
THE first member of 'io to leave us was Paul Turner, a mighty fine fellow, and a real loss to both Class and College. He was one of the most sociable fellows ever known, making friends with everyone. He was always ready with a quick response, ever on the alert, a fellow with leadership, mechanical ability and manual skill, an "up and coming" gymnast — we could ill afford to lose him.
It will be long before we will forget tliat little incident of the sophomores' pajamas, in which Paid took a leading part; he was never to be outdone.
ROBERT BROOKS TANEY
BOB lived just long enough for a few of us to get to know him well, and to under- stand what he stood for. His death ended a life which was to be a fine and gen- erous one. Those who knew him were deeply moved and all were shocked by his swift and luitimely end in the early summer of our sophomore year. Everybody has a certain pleasant recollection of him as one of his friends. The author remem- bers Bob as a skater and a hockey player down on the old college pond. Others will think of him as a gymnast, and he was an able one.
WILLIAM LIVINGSTON BAYER
BILL came down from NOO YAWK with Geff Billo and started the firm of Billo vs. Bayer on first floor North, better known as "Rhinie Hell." Bill only stayed a year at Haverford, leaving the Quaker college to take up a military career at West Point. Besides knocking off an A average, hitting f (x)'s math exams for 100 per cent, passing his West Point exams with honors, and pouring math into his fond room- mate's head. Bill's other abilities were recognized and he was elected class president, member of the student council, and had a hand in many other activities.
He is doing exceptionally well at West Point, continuing his high scholastic work and playing a bang-up game at center forward on the soccer team. Bill's a soldier through and through and we are all wishing him the best of luck in fulfilling his oath of "duty, honor, country."
FR.ANK ARCHAMBAULT FORTESCUE
FRANK FORTESCUE, coming to Haverford in our Rhinie year from Wesleyan, walked among us in the benign character of a social Sophomore, achieving, how- ever, the unusual distinction of being equally well-liked in both classes. He was one of the quieter, less destructive elements in the South Barclay society of that year, distinguishing himself by a place in the Musical Clubs, and by appearing in one of f(x)'s baneful sessions in his tuck. Frank was missed by all of us when he left to go into business, where he is now driving the trade of life insurance in the way it should go.

In the past two years, Phil has "topped" his former classmates — ■ he rooms in the Tower, and from this elevation he descends to take a hand of bridge or talk to some of "us." It is rather interesting that this twin should take up where his brother left off in captaining the Basketball Team, and we wish him the best of luck. We were sorry to " lose " Pliil to '26, but we are glad to have been three years togetlier.
GERALD GROSS
IF THERE is one art that Jerry knows better than talking French and German, it is that of passing Fritzie's courses. From the first make-up that he faced, probably the first day he arrived at college, he has been steadily becoming more proficient at just (say it quietly) passing. It is an art in itself, a perfect thing of beauty to Jerry. He will graduate, not with honors but with the honor that only one of us can ever hold, of graduating with no margin whatever. And having had the most enjoyable college career of any of us (it only being necessary for him to work two weeks during the year, at mid-years and finals), we must somehow believe that he in a genius.
CHARLES WM. HAINES
BILL joined our midst in Freshman year from George School. His terrible boot and size were the main defense of the J. V. soccer team in Freshman and Sopho- more years, at the end of which Bill had to leave us to take up the management of his fruit farms in Jersey.
Bill still claims he is his own manager, but "dodging" around in a new car and frequent splurges up the Rancocas, lead us to believe he has come to the conclusion that all peaches do not grow on trees. What fruit, Bill!
We extend our congratulations and best wishes to the Horticultural King of Jersey.
M. JULIUS MARGOLIS
"IT OR some reason or other, Julius decided to dispense with our company before -•- the end of Rliinie year. But, in spite of the years which have come and gone since then, we still have some very vivid pictures of his valiant efforts to push a little wheelbarrow around the campus in a fashion pleasing to the Sophomore Hazing Committee. He is now a Junior in the College of the University of Pennsylvania, preparing to enter the Medical School in September. He says he's still single; but whether that is to be taken as a boast or a regret he does not mention.

DAVID JONES REINH.ARDT, JR.
WE WERE very imfortunate when Da\'e left us at the end of Sophomore year to become a benedict. In this respect, he set a precedent for his classmates, and is now the proud father of a baby boy. During his only too brief stay at Haverford, Dave's presence on the Freshman track team and on the Football team was very keenly felt. Moreover, his Titian locks were the envy of all the female rooters at the football games, and the manager claims that gate receipts were increased 50% due to the presence of this big, tall, handsome man from Wilmington, on the line of scrim- mage. If this is true, the attendance on the opposing line was just as noticeably decreased after the opening plays of each game; they just couldn't stand being tossed around the way Dave was in the habit of doing.
The college will always remember Dave, and the Rhinie class of 19'26 m i>ar- ticular will do so, for 'tis said that he had them so terrorized that they used to sleep in the tree tops and even on the roof of Sharpless Hall on occasion. Howe^■er truthful this may be, the class of 1925 is united in wishing Dave all the happiness and suc- cess in the world in whatever work he may undertake.
WALTER RICH.ARD SASSAMAN
WALT came to college crammed with so many ideas of reforming the world, that the first year he could barely find time to sleep. In debating economic, social or political questions he could almost out-argue Lord. Junior year he became editor of the News and immediately started upon a headlong career of producing the best eight-page college weekly in the country. So pressing became his duties that he was forced to drop sleeping entirely and to give up class and collection attendance. At the end of the year he rushed away in his Ford to New York to join .1 ditorial board of the yew Sfudent. We hear he is now teaching in New York . . but we feel certain that Sass will soon be penning more of those famous edi-

CHARLES WEISSER
CHAIILEY WEISSER came from the Smoky City and arrived at Haverford about the same time that we did. After he had had a bath we recognized him as a brother freshman and welcomed him into our midst. Sad to relate he did not stay at Haverford as long as some of the rest of us. He did not agree with the Dean on everything, and the Dean had more authority than Charley at that time, so he, Charley, got out. We do not know just what he is doing now — perhaps he is selling "Twice as Hot" burners for the gas stoves of Pittsburgh. He was once a very able salesman of this commodity and he may have retired on what he made at that time. It would be a treat to see Charley again, but he hasn't visited us for a long time.

1921—1922
W J yRESHMAN year started off with a bang. Not concentrated in any one m 7 dorm, the units united under our first president, tlie smooth Strong. Coach "^ Haddleton started with us and at once pronounced the surroundings at Haverford ideal for all year round training.
AVe took things seriously from the start. Election of officers and honor com- mittees spread the spirit. It embraced cake walk and athletics. The Rhinie athletic rule had just been abolished, so the greeting from the ever amiable News: "Haver- ford expects great things of you, . . . Your welcome is the mildest that has been accorded to any first year class in the history of the college. . . Never forget that behind the gruff ness of sophomore address etc. . . . " we found indicating that instead of laboring with the ingenuities required for efficient hazing, they were invit- ing us to go regularly to the athletic fields and get "it "pounded out of us in mass for- mations. Most salubrious, however, and after the first holy pajama parade, we settled down to show the upper classmen that we were worthy of our sister class. Hazing took two blatant bursts thereafter, the less expected being the mud swimming and track meet just after Thanksgiving vacation.
We used our mass disciplining well in what was to be the last Ha\-erford cane rush, which we tied at 16 liands all, and in the thoroughly successful cake walk. Under Monty's nightshirt the heart of a true Juliet throbbed, and Merion won the prize. The cake, most discretely hid in Coach's trunk, produced in season, and returned in majority portions by the proper persons, wiped out many debts, and a good time was had by all.
In football Tubby Hulme and Phil Garrett started with the season, and won

their numerals. Holly got the conscientious Rhinie cup. The other Garrett, Ray Thomas, Bill Haines, Bayer, Willey and Starbuck worked at berths on the second soccer team that held Swarthmore's first until Tommy, its mainstay, was laid out. Bill Haines made all-state fullback.
Winter brought forth the other Tliomas' adventures into the great ferment, so surprising to Harkey and others. Then there was the intelligence test in which we outdid the fresh of 77 institutions, even all the rest of Haverford, except the Seniors, and notwithstanding our immense number of juveniles: Holly, Horace and Prokj-. Brawn backed up this brilliance when we cleaned up the .sophs in football, and in our undefeated track team which Rogers and Starbuck piloted to victory over Haverford School, Lower INIerion, Penn Charter, Lansdowne, George School and F. and M. Academy imanimously, not to mention how we saddened the sopho- mores, or took second place in the interclass meet. In college competition we sent three men to the intercollegiates, of whom Monty had already started to break javelin records and Rogers and Thomas annexing letters.
On the basketball team Taylor, Mathis, Phil Garrett and Chadwick kept the senior veterans running for their erstwhile sinecures. In the spring came the first barrage of spring sport discussion, wherein we perceived that neither cricket nor base- ball were all they ought to be. With the buds came also our first taste of Library lectures, whereat we believed our disillusionment complete.
Second half year Rhoads and Pittman joined us permanently. We objected to snowballing and opposition was debated, but after due consideration we let the sophs have their fun in peace. . . . they were poor shots. The informal, and now dear

departed, dorm dances brought their springs of joy. Tlie Ilhinie-junior dance is especially worthy of note. The sophs elected then to filcli the annual pajamas and hang them on the flag-pole. We turned the tables, with embellishments, and at dawning, soph pajamas waved aloft. For this noble effort the sandwich men assumed their burden and were admired by all eyes.
Lord, Starbuck and Barton won the interdass debate. Strong and Lord made the Play, the Clubs, and Cap and Bells generally. In this much tossed third quarter, we were introduced to "our fair share of victories" and "our friend Robert from Chengtu, China." Thus was disillusionment supplanted by torture.
Paul Turner met his tragic accident, and left us suddenly missing one who had come swiftly into his own as of the best we had.
Baseball drew Hap and Jeff, who won their letters. Scholastically we consistently
bettered the soph averages, and donated the Garretts, Silver and Stokes to the cricket
team, whose noble services at the burning barn will never be forgotten. Fritzy drew
us to the actuality of hazing committee decisions. Those famous horsemen, Rogers,
Reinhardt, slave-driver Billo, Strong and Montgomery arose to do the honors.
Then the love feast. Featured by Dave and Pat swopping stories, Nieh's vicious dancing, and the swift arrival thereafter of class hats.

In addition to its gaps, President Hulme and the gavel had disappeared, so Tom Garrett took Ray Thomas' vice-presidency. Phil Garrett had deserted us for a year in Germany. Bill Haines left to develop his peach farm, and Billy Bayer entered upon his West Point career. Quiet Shreve Vandever had died. We were joined by Newman, Stone and the transients, Nichol- son, Greer, Cauffiel and Chang. Prokosch moved up into the corp scholar constella- tion with Gordy and Chadwick. Drs. Johnson and Haddleton came back married! ! ! Football found us still strong, though but the shadow of our former self. We defeated the freshmen easily, and the letter men, the 1925 half of the line: Rhoads, Strong and Reinhardt, helped by Holly and Monty on the other wing, gave no im- material assistance to the varsity. Soccer used Garrett, Willey, Thomas and Star- buck repeatedly in the line-ups, though only Ray won a letter.
Our own brand hazing committee covered itself with glory by witty leniency. It featured "Get away doggie" and a ballet girl. Not to mention the eloquent protest against — well. Dr. Meldrum couldn't say just what it was— but anyhow, the protest endeared them to all henceforth.

A debating society tiiat did not pester others was organized. The cake walk again was all to us. For the first time in centuries, we found the cake inside the sofa of Dr. Babbitt's sanctum sanctorum. Container .mns cake was carefully put back, and we quite enjoyed the bedewed exjiression of the Rhinies when they reopened the box, not to mention keeping all the cake. Though the performance itself was not all it should have been, yet the gullible Rhinies indirectly brought about those keen student-faculty dinners and closer co-operation.
Second half year opened with a fire. It seems that inflammatory speeches from the midwinter dinner carried over and started a fire in South's janitor closet. Hen Strong became manager of the store and was featured as soloist in the Instrumental Club. He was leader after Huffman graduated. But sighing for new fields, and much to our sorrow, he and Charles Greer left to wrestle with temptation in the nasty marts of business. Whereupon Stifler began realigning the store.
The blessings of learning bore varied fruits. We impro^-ed on the annual pajama party by adding beds and ]uling them about the flag pole. Bug 2 erudition burst forth to follow the life story of a certain tailless crustacean that was studied first in the pool until metamorphosis set in, tlien larval, pupal and many other stages were observed among various college hosts.
Warfield found scope for his double character dual-r61e-ing the Classical Club play. Tom Garrett spent spring vacation in Bermuda with the cricketeers, after featuring his fine playing in the Swarthmore basketball game. He and Dusty got letters. Chadwick attached the all-round gym championship, with Starbuck close second. Our friend Rohert Simpkin returned to address us, but was more or less

skaken by JJT'S flying visit. Dustj^ of the Student Extension committee pulled off the first prep-school day with much eclat at the class smoker.
Track came again. We won the inter-class Meet, witli Rogers as high scorer. But we did not meet the Rhinies, for it snowed that day, and weather conditions might have hurt them. Rogers began attacking the broad jump record, and Tommy his tumultuous and graceful breaking of the discus mark, which same talent took a good third in the M. A. S. Chuck Johnson, Chad and Dusty joined the letter men.
Deep polities enabled the tower gang to get together at the end of the year and brought most of the class to Center. Beta Rho and Triangle elections settled largely in our midst. The year ended in a blaze of glory when Bill took the deserved cap- taincy of Track, and secretary-treasurership of the students' association. Schulze hurriedly got the cheer together:
AYhifJ! Whack! Scarlet and Black 1—9—2—5 Rogers! Rogers! Rogers!
and we celebrated. Then the love feast — Reinhardt's stories — and we had scattered to the winds.

y UNIOR year failed to reveal the revel other classes found. Or perhaps we
M talked less about it. Certainly we took a more serious part in the control of
^"^ affairs than had any junior class very recently before us. During the summer
Nicholson went to study medicine, Reinhardt took up teaching, and Dave and Phil
got married shortly before college opened. Bob Taney had passed away.
Center was perfect in all but one thing; to make the Rhinies tend the phone properly, we had to go down ourselves.
The Stevens game, featured by the bus trip wherein said vehicle burnt a tonsil and the crew bummed, and marked signally by Dusty's brilliant (the Observer said so) leading of the team gave vision of what success he would bring next year. Rhoads and Monty held down the ends exceptionally well, and Jeff joined the letter men. In soccer Willey snared the only goal of the Cornell game, and won a letter along with Starbuck, Garrett and Ray Thomas. Ray was elected captain for next year, and Garrett added an all-American berth to his laurels.
Cake walk witnessed an innovation, the push-ball slaughter. Debating took on new life with Sassaman's efforts and the formation of a debating council. Untiring Sass also took over the News and as editor-in-chief, made a publication of a quality

never before attained. He even had it .ser\'ed with Monday supper until Lord said his waiters had to get tlirough sometime. Lord and Barton won the senior-junior debate with their eloquent appeal.
It was during the stormy spring that a strange unsought laurel came to roost. Stokes, our stalwart point, fell 39.9 feet from the gutter, on returning home of a stormy evening from a session in the Tower that apparently was lower than usual. No bones were broken, and aside from shock and scenic cataclysms, there were fortunately no serious consequences. But Wally was not the only deep decline that came upon us: let us now praise bituminous potatoes, etc. All through the year the meals were more and more unfit for even rhinie contemplation. They showed no inclination to remove food from their own, let alone other tables. Uncle Billy at last saw our Shirm und Drang. The hepatic caterer came. He was no profit, though we did get several excellent plates out of it, and that during exams, when they were most needed.
There were two memorable dances. The rhinie-junior brought forth the re- grettable pajama business. Somehow we thought the poor things shoidd be un- molested. Anyhow, out of pure sympathy, we trooped to Merion and from there dumped the college in high fettle. Attack and repulse marked the rest of the night and made us feel like rhinies come to paradise at last.
Then the Junior Prom. This glorious epoch was marked from its very inception by genius of all sorts. Can we ever forget Heilman's memorable reminder that the Prom ticket did not include class dues? And the ciuestion of white flannels, how well we settled that by deciding to wear what we pleased. And the dance itself, a rhapsody

of rhythmic blisses and Misses and poor food that gave some glimpse of the delights of miel de lune — which, by the waj', was on hand just for the occasion.
The rather beneficial though recalcitrant dead wood committee started largely from our ranks. In track Tommy again broke his discus record and Rogers lead the team through an undefeated season, the most brilliant point of which was Chadwick and the new pole vault record that he set tying for first place in the M. A. S. Meet.
Senior Year 1924—1925
AGAIN we gathered from the far corners of e\-ery where to dear little old Center. ^y^U J™ Watson and Bates had been roughing it across the mill pond; House and the Johnsons toured. Tom Garrett and Stokes and Holly came back bronzed from seeing America first. Mustaches, severely dealt with last year, had used the summer's leniency to blossom into full cataracts. All but Gordy were again restrained; the international bowler still cherishes, somehow successfully, his down. Taubel joined the benedicts. In the midst of the rejoicing and hilarious narratives by these our hardy explorers, a wave of sadness filled us that Jack Star- buck was to be with us no more. AVords cannot say how we miss him.
The Rhinies found a new terror in store for them. A Customs Committee had been created and put in force. This delightful instrument put hazing into hands

more sagacious, we believe, in controlling it. In other words, it let upper classmen help the hazing. And here's to our Durrell, for he rose and tolled the bell — for the bug lab fire, and so co\'ered himself with glory. But they do say that he was magnanimous enougli to stop while Siddons, dear, phoned the fire department. Alas for the bug idents, they cannot speak of the sad event from first-hand knowledge, for they went a aight back to bed and slept. Uncle Billy was mistaken for an apache, they say, and Oscar did not appear collarless.
In sports, Dusty 's football team played through an improved season and accredited themselves on Franklin Field. Kumm and Harvey joined our group of letter men. Cheerleader Bates got out a band and spirit that carried the team over many a rough spot. In soccer we made a good second in the Intercollegiate League, though Tommy was much missed on accoiuit of his knee, Rogers and Ball achie^'ed letters, and nearly all the seniors were mentioned on one all-American team or another.
Again we had to interpose in underclass affairs, this time with weight of authority anent the cake walk. We really wanted the gym for basketball, and forRhinies and Sophs to take their required gym in, so, after some tolerance, we forcibly stopped the siege, declared the battle a draw, and kept the gym slightly crushed.
Election festivities were exciting for a while. Johnston's beard recalled them to us at some length. Sanders did the unforgivable and revived the Scarlet, for better, but worse. Under our lead college set another record with no flunks the first q larter, though Phi Bete Gordy manifestly succumbed to the Center inspiration and let somebody else lead the class. Dusty, what with working in the library at odd times, and the new librarians, and everything, just naturally pulled an "A,"

and that's not all. Uncontent, he sauntered into state-wide competition and annexed the Pennsylvania Rhodes Scholarship for the glory of dear old Haverford. Again at the lialf year the class led the college in marks, Center strangely topped the dormi- tory list. Only the large number of glasses broken in soon after the event can explain it.
During Christmas vacation the Rover boys — ^Stokes, Schulze, Willey, Rogers, and Holly — set sail via "King-8" for Florida. What they did there, and how the "King" and other valuables were saved, will be found well told in Heilman's stirring narrative, the "Rover Boys 'Neath Southern Manifolds," which we recommend all to read.
Warfield's mighty flights and the movie-pass made life entirely worth living. Watson and Sally lightened things up one evening, but our full joy was not reached until we exercised our inevitable right in the last ethics class and paraded in on Rufus. Stokes' pseudo-trip to Baltimore, and the enviable record that Holly and his team of peppy petters, Watson and Bates, really made there, are still ripe and juicy before us. Cricket has been hammered again with a right good will that pales somewhat under the awful actuality of an English trip. The inauguration was forgot when we heard of David .Jones Reinhardt, III, who arrived the same day — the class' not to mention Dave's, first.
Baseball and track have been in line for fine seasons. Track especially has prospered, for on the fourth annual remark by Pop that conditions are ideal for all year-'round training, Rogers put the board track across. And .several small meets have already been held. Pop started, we may observe, the very first race of the very first meet in full .sea.son form: "Marks . . . Get set . . .! All up!"

What lias the Class of '^25 left with Haverford? Deprived of most of the big men who led us through the spasms of college youth, the remaining Boswells have taken up the work and done their best to complete big ideals. A new athletic era has been ushered in. We have bettered four athletic records, shown increasingly better football stamina, come nearest to the intercollegiate soccer title since last we won it, and undefeated track teams we have had in assorted lots, class and college. We have fostered intramural sports and general participation in and wider extension and interpretation of athletics. AVe have followed Dusty's lead to bigger and better student extension and hazing control. Individual achievements we need not elaborate upon. We have extended the honor system to fuller interpretation. It now includes much that it could not before. Whate^"er is connected with the college group we are honor bound to do honorably. From this axiom the student council stepped to its rightful role as jury, and ceased abortive policing. These institutions we have fostered without coddling: They are right. And with thanksgiving for their innate verity we hand over our record and labors to do their work on future generations of responsive and responsible Haverfordians.

Football
«•«;
/ ^* ' HE football career of the Class of '"25 started with a rush. We refer to the I famous cane rush between the classes of '24 and '25, which was won by Nate "^ Sangree on a score of 15 hands to 15.
There followed a scrimmage and then a cross-country run at the heels of the famous miler, Ike Walton. The evening was spent in moving furniture, and the night brought troubled slumbers, so that it was a dispirited crew of Rhinies that reported to practice the next day.
We believe that Mike Bennett's system must ha\'e been a good one. for we never understood it — and for newly examined and passed Ha^•erfo^dians to admit that they could not understand any system was accomplishing the unusual.
In passing, we would sing the praises of those who are with us no more. It was a heavy blow to lose "Tubby" Hulme, our giant guard, and Phil Garrett, our fighting center, from among the ranks of the football members of our class — they earned a reputation in Freshman year that the rest of us would not claim to have beaten in four years of effort. HoUingshead was the only other member of our class to win honors Freshman year — his heroic stand of 210 pounds in the Swarthmore contest was the only thing that prevented them from scoring 62 to 0 instead of 55 to 0. "Holly" has not made such a stand since, for Harman's system has made a fast-footed fighter out of our "fat boy," and you should see him play. He doesn't stand now — he mores.
Sophomore year the team was captained by "Tat" Brown (the name needs no explanation). He made the mistake of being a member of the next best class that ever came to Haverford; the loss, however, was mutual. In that same Sophomore year, we were introduced to the Pitt system. We cannot say that the Pitt-Harman system stumped us as the Bennett system had done — we can understand Harman's system, and the fault is ours if we sometimes fail to practice it. We would like to assert that the Pitt-Harman .system is the right thing. The Pitt system is scientifically perfect; and the Harman personality is one of the things we are proud of at Haver- ford.
"Dusty" Rhoads came to Haverford when Harman did, and the two have worked together at football for three years. They started in the famous Birmingham football camp, tales of which have been broadcasted by buzzards, so that we need not mention them here. The season was rather haphazard; the games residted in both successes and tragedies. We suffered heavily at the hands of Franklin and Marshall, but later we beat Guilford, 45 to 0, thus regaining our balance. The pro- verbial "impossible" game was started with our neighbors, and we almost won it; but the score of 2 to 0 at the end of the first half has been spoken of too often to bear repeating again.
The day following that contest saw one of the humorous inter-class rivalries
Page One Hundred and Seven
Wl92Sr.RECORD3CfLf^r^
of the college, in which the Freshmen of '26 went down to defeat before the Sophs of '25. The game was more of a joke than a contest, for it was played between Kunini and Greene, who were the only substitutes uninjured by the Swarthmore game. The score of 13 to 0, like the 14 to 7 score by which we had beaten our rivals of '24, has made the 1925 class football team unbeaten up to the present year when, debilitated by the rule forbidding first-string men to play on a class team, we went down to defeat before the Rhinies.
The interclass game was followed by a banquet at the Union League Club in Philadelphia. John Scull was our host — the man who sponsors every vital enter- prise at Haverford. If there is one thing more than any other which we would like to be able to do, it is to serve Haverford in the quiet, unassuming way that this beloved alumnus has done. He is there at the crisis of our efforts, saying little, but doing much. It was he who arranged the little pep-vacation at Westtown School, and his spirit working in the team was what drove it in blind fury to outbattle the larger line and hurl back the Ape of Swarthmore for loss after loss. We do not look for better football material at Haverford than our Swarthmore rivals possess, but with the spirit of John Scull, and the willing work of a team that is glad to sacrifice for its success, we expect finally to build up a team that can meet our rivals and do the impossible. We expect to do this; a glance at the decreasing margins of Swarth- more victories will show some improvement since the advent of our class at Haverford.
Junior year saw a considerable steadying in Haverford's football tactics, though nothing spectacular was accomplished. We won from Temple, Washington, and Albright. The game with Brown proved interesting to the dopesters, and started our policy of playing colleges of name and standing far above our class. There were some members of the crew (we use the term advisedly) who enjoyed the return trip from Providence to New York, but the Millers were not among them; the sea was much rougher than the "Bear" had been. Once again we tried our fortunes with our infamous sister college; this time the game was more evenly matched, and if it had not been for the break at the last moment, we would have made quite a credit- able showing. We were sorry to lose Don Wilbur and "Wes" Heilman, but the team was otherwise very little impaired by graduation.
The 1924 season opened with a football camp in which Bill Hepenstall aided Harman. The brutal game of precipice was invented whereby line-men were given the melodramatic thrill of struggling for life above the gaping abyss fixed between Walton and '88 Fields. For the backs, a vicious cycle was devised whereby the labor of blocking a dummy was increased threefold. The Rhinies escaped these games and gamboled out in the late afternoon after study hours to run rings around the wearied upper classmen. Had it not been for the sportsmanlike character of the coaches, the team would have gone on strike — but no one could strike under a leader like Harman, and so we laughed at each other and suffered. However, it was all in a good cause, as was apparent on September 27 when our line outplayed the Columbia line and our backs, instead of petering out in the last quarter, succeeded in scoring. A dinner was given for the team by the New York alumni and that, together with the gentlemanly treatment which we received at the hands of our
Page One Hundred and Eight
W-i^'^S . RECORD -3CIi^&^
rivals, determined the management to schedule our first game next year with Columbia. There followed two decisive victories over Hamilton and Stevens; in both of these games the playing of "Gefl" Billo was a feature for Haverford eyes. Our 148-pound halfback ran the team to victory, and captained it against Stevens when "Dusty" was incapacitated. On one occasion, he was so knocked out that we feared that he would have to leave the field; but he went back, and again taking the ball, made a 15-yard gain around the Stevens right end. In Lebanon Valley we met a hard-hitting opponent and oiu" team was unable to stand the strain; however, "Middy" got away in the last quarter for a score which somewhat mitigated our despair. The game with Washington College was close, as was indicated by the 6 to 0 score, but superior weight told and the score would have been worse had the game not ended when it did. There is no need to mention the slump that the team entered in the game with Ursinus, but they recovered to do some sterling cool-headed playing against Delaware. The University won by one point in a very evenly matched contest; the substitutes sent into the game played as steady a game of football as the regulars, which showed that we had a well-rounded squad. The season, drawing to its close, was brightened by the 30 to 0 victory over Juniata on snowbound Walton Field; rain, sleet, snow — nothing could stop the Haverford offense. Passes worked, line plays worked, punts were good and well placed, and a substitute team was ripping through for another score when the final whistle blew.
After two weeks of intensive preparation, the team went up for its crucial test against Swarthmore on Franklin Field. We are not ashamed of that contest. Through all the mud and rain of the field, the spirit of Haverford blazed in unabated fury. Every man did his best. At one time, we held our breath, thinking that the impos- sible would happen. Three feet more and Swarthmore would have been held at 6 to 6, or perhaps even beaten, by her smaller, less skilled rival. That it did not happen was due to an unfortunate break, and no one who saw Middleton play the game he did can hold it against him; you will have another chance next year, "Middy." The tackle that Dusty made was one of the real kind — it did not sa\'e us the game, but it showed the stuff the captain was made of.
We have not spoken much of individuals, for those who played under Harman thought of themselves as a unit, a team in which all class distinction was dropped. If men like Billo, Rhoads, Hollingshead, Harvey, Montgomery and Kumm deserve mention, there are fellows like Miller, Sumwalt, Middleton, Flint and Mitchell that we must associate with them. We who graduate are sorry that our football days are over, but we are confident that with a leader such as next year's captain is, and with the system that we have known and worked under, that there are bright days ahead for Haverford. We would have the College feel that we are all behind Haver- ford football, and back of Haverford in every aspect of its glorious life, to CARRY ON.

/ ^' 'his year's team was the best Haverford has produced for many years, M finishing runner-iip in the Intercollegiate League with a record of one defeat out of ten starts. This record is all the more praisewortliy because the pros- pects at the start of the season were none too bright. Captain Thomas was out with a bad knee, and the losses from last year's scjuad were heavy. Jim McPeet filled these gaps with men from last year's second team and taught a style of passing that more than made up for any lack of individual stars.
The first league game was with Princeton at Princeton, and half the college was on hand to whoop things up. In the first half Ray scored on a long brilliant free- kick, but early in the second half Princeton scored with another long shot, and tied the score. In the remainder of that half and in two extra i)criods neither team was able to score again. Bill Rogers and Tom Garrett played unusually well for Haverford.
The following week the team made the long trip to Ithaca and faced Cornell on a frigid day. The combination of a sleeper ride followed by zero temperature seemed agreeable, for our Pullman-scarred warriors completely outclassed the big Red team 7 to 0, and that evening the natives of Ithaca were surprised and pleased by Jim McPeet's curbstone recital.
Tlie team faced Penn a week later, and it was generally conceded that the game would determine the intercollegiate championship. Neither team had been defeated and a record crowd was out. At the end of tlie first half the score was tie at 1 to 1. Penn had scored from scrimmage and Baker, '2G, had evened things up with a perfect penalty kick. In the second half, the Penn line showed remarkable speed and team- work, and added three points to their score, while Don again scored for Haverford. We had lost the championship, but we had made someone else step.
Our wet-day practice came in handy in the Harvard game, for the field was covered with water. Ray was again unable to play because of his knee, but the team had little difficulty in winning 3 to 0.
The last game of the year was with Yale, the strongest Yale team that had yet played that fall. The game was fast and close and went into extra periods. With the score 1 to 1, Eric Ball scored in the extra time, and won the game. Eric scored both our goals, and Raj', Baker, and Willey starred for Haverford.
Nineteen twenty-five has always furnished its share of soccer men. We were represented for three years by Ray Thomas, Tom Garrett, and Stan Willey, and many of us will remember Jack Starbuck best as a clean, hard-playing star on the soccer field. Bill Rogers was a regular two years, and Eric Ball his Senior year.
Captaui Ray was given AU-American mention although injury kept him from playing in all the games. Tom Garrett was a unanimous choice as Ail-American fullback, and Stan Willey was on Al Niess' team. Other men who made AU-American teams were Captain-elect Evans, '26; Marshall, '"26; Richie, '-26; Haviland, '26; Baker, '26, and Borton, '26. This, we claim, is some record and completely con- vinces us that Jim ]\IcPeet is the best soccer coach we have seen, aside from the fact that he is a peach of a fellow.

Junior Varsity Soccer
••«,
/^^^W£i winning of the Pennsylvania State Championship this year marks the
m most successful season for the Junior ^"arsity Soccer Team since the league
was started nine years ago. A line that was able to shoot when the chances
were offered and a backfield that excelled both on the offensive and on the defensive
were the causes of the team's success.
About half of the men were on the Junior Varsity last year, and last year's team was very unsuccessful, having won but a single game throughout the season. We used to console ourselves after each new defeat by such remarks as, "Well, we were better than they were, but just couldn't get going"; or, "We would have had a good chance to beat them, if it hadn't been for a couple of flukes." That kind of soccer was no fun, and the first thing we wanted to do when the season was over was to forget it; and we started figuring our chances for the first team the next season.
Unluckily, we who were figuring on making the first team this year found that we were not the only ones hunting for places on that team, and that there were not enough places to go around. There was only one thing to do — we could not go through another season like the one before.
By far, all the credit is not due to those of us who played on the Junior Varsity before. Witness Dick Longstreth, all-state center half and captain of last year's varsity, our fighting "Irisliman," Logan, all-state fullback, and Richardson, all- state inside left, to whom the credit is due for many of our goals. Bill Saunders did much to speed up the line with his clever toe; Shank, at right halfback, was one of the mainstays on defense, and Jim Sanders and Ben Warfield, filling the outside positions, did much to strengthen the line.
When we went up to Bethlehem to play Lehigh, we had two new men, Richardson and Saunders, playing inside left and center forward on the line. The game was a victory, won by the same score by which they had beaten us last year, and much of the credit is due to these two men. "Maggie" played a beautiful game in the goal, and it was no cinch guessing where Ferdinandez was going to place the ball, nor was it easy to stop the hot shots when his hands were on them. Murray Haines and Logan were like a stone wall to Lehigh's fast line, and when the ball hit them it bounced back about three times as far as it had come. We were all surprised at our success. We began laying plans for a victory over Lafayette, and even began to wonder whether there might not be a chance for the State Championship.
When we met Lafayette we had the advantage of our own field, but their team was in fine trim and we had a hard scrap to win. Dick Longstreth played with us for the first time in this game. He was a big help to the team and was especially needed at this time, for Murray Haines was out of the game with a bad knee. The two teams were very evenly matched; both goals were threatened time after time, and it was not until near the end of the second half that Richardson was able to force through the winning goal.

Our next game was with Swarthmore, and we had two reasons for wanting to win it — -first, because we would be one game nearer the championship, and second, because we wanted to make up for their having tied the first team. The game started off with a rush down the field, the result being that the ball landed in Swarthmore's net. We made our second goal shortly afterward; but the Garnet team had awakened by this time and managed to dribble the ball past our defense and into the goal. Before the half was over, we had scored our third goal; but the game was far from won. In the second half, Swarthmore scored for the second time, and very nearly scored several more times, but the ball was always kept out by Maguire's quick hand- work. This victory put us within one game of the league championship, and we were determined to crash tlu-ough.
The team was in perfect condition when it met Penn's Junior Varsity Team on River Field, the day before Thanksgiving. Penn had a strong line and managed to score the first goal. This gave us the incentive to fight hard; we tied the score, and by the end of the first half had three goals to Penn's one. During the first part of the second half, we were undoubtedly outplayed; the score was tied, and our chances for a victory seemed slight. It was then that the Junior ^^arsity displayed the fight and ability which made it a winning team. The line carried the ball into Penn's goal twice, and the backfield was a stone wall to the attacks of their line. It was this ability to come through at the critical moment that won the championship.

basketball
W J yRESHMAN year saw three members of the Class of ''25 on the basketball M 1 squad, Taylor, P. Garrett and Mathis, Taylor receiving his numerals. However, all three failed to return in Sophomore year and it looked as if basketball would receive but little support from our class.
When the basketball season came around the following year there was a general scarcity of material so everybody who had ever fondled a basketball was urged to try out. The results were surprising and a good team was produced which finished a hard-fouglit season by losing to Swarthmore on a last-second shot that gave them the game, 28 to 27. Tom Garrett and "Dusty" Rhoads both received letters, and Chadwick and Yerkes their numerals for their good work that season.
Great things were expected in Junior year from the team, for veterans abounded, but the Jinx pursued the team with sickness and other calamities and things were not what they seemed. However, toward the end of the season imdcr "Poss" Miller's tutelage things looked brighter and the team lost some close games. The season finished with a victory over Ursinus, 28 to 18, and a Swarthmore victory that nearly proved a defeat due to a last -minute rally that came too late and saw the final score 24 to 23 against us. Chadwick and Tom Garrett received their letters, and the lionor of captaincy went to Tom.
This year prospects for basketball looked brighter than usual with the entrance of se\'eral stars in the Rhinie class. Thougli the material was here, we were without a coach, for "Poss" Miller had returned to his Alma Mater to sell his prowess. How- ever, after many weeks of effort Walter Halas, former coach at Notre Dame, signed to coach both basketball and baseball. Halas brought with him an entirely new system of the western conference tyjje and from the very start it was evident that the coach knew his sport backward and forward. The fellows took to his new system with vim but naturally results were slow in coming.
The first game againt Stevens found the team very green but full of fight, and in spite of all Stevens won an exciting game. Chadwick started on his way to being high scorer for the season by chalking up fourteen points. Osteopathy next beat us in the last second of play with a shot from the middle of the floor. After the holi- days the team played Delaware and showed signs of their lay-off by letting a jjoorer team snatch a \-ictory from them. However, at Princeton the following week the team looked like itself and tlieir tight defense had the Tiger worried. The inter- collegiate champions finally won 29 to 11 in what they later said was one of the hardest fought games they had played all season. Dickinson, in the last game before mid- years, gave us one of the worst beatings we had had so far, scoring forty-one points to our nineteen. After exams the team journeyed to New York to play City College, but unfortunately for us we lost The Rutgers game proved to be one of the most interesting games of the year; Haverford started off with a five-point lead only to

lose it near the end of the first half. Then Rutgers gradually pulled out in front and won 31 to 22.
Though the team had been losing, they had been playing good ball and so it was no surprise when Franklin and Marshall, with one of the best teams they had had in years, was sent back to Lancaster, losers by the score of 22 to 18. At half time the score was 11 all; the second half both teams played again on even terms and with liut one Tiiinute left to ])lay the .score stood 18 to 18. On a pretty play Phil Garrett broke the tie and bedlam broke loose; then right from the tap-off play Mel- choir made the game a real victory by dribbling through and dropping the ball in the net for tlie la.st play of tlie game. The following week saw another exciting game when Wa-shington College's flying (piintet and Maryland State champions won th^ game only by their superior sliooting from the middle of the floor. Then again a New York University, Haverford broke away to an early lead only to lose it at half time with the score 17 to 16; the end of the game still found the University ahead.
The rest of the season Haverford played basketball that began to show the results of good coaching. Drexel was swamped in a game that saw one play after another work to perfection, the score finally standing 53 to '•21. St. Joseph's after being held even the first half, won the game during the second half after a hard battle. The Temjile game in the following week proved to lie the closest seen during the season. At half time the score was IG all, then during the second half the lead zig-

zagged back and forth to find a deadlock still when the final whistle blew. In extra periods Temple won out, 43 to 39. Ursinus then came to Haverford determined to avenge their defeat of last year and from their successful season it looked as if they might succeed. At half time it seemed even more evident, for the score was 20 to 16 against us. Howe^'er, the second half saw a fighting Haverford team on the floor which ruthlessly scored at will and snowed Ursinus under with their avalanche of baskets with the final score 41 to 26.
The last game of the season with Swarthmore then drew nigh and hopes ran high of turning the tables after having lost for two straight years by the feeble margin of one point. The game was played at Mary Lyons School and a capacity crowd gathered. The first half Haverford seemed stagestruck and Swarthmore left the floor at half time leading 11 to 5. The second half no sooner started though than a true Haverford rally began and caused Swarthmore to call time out with the score 13 to 11. From then on the battle was nip and tuck and only the inaccuracy of our team's foul shooting lost them the game by the score of 19 to 16. All we have to say now is watch basketball next, year with a good coach, good material, and a fighting captain like Phil Garrett.
'Track
M ¥ TTTH the advent of the Rhinie Class of '-25 and the coaching regime of "Pop" ■/»' Haddleton there began a period such as Haverford has seldom experienced in the history of its intercollegiate track relations. Since the Swarthmore meet of 1922, defeat has not marred "Pop's" record; this was the year in which we, as Rhinies, put out a team, and went through an undefeated season, with both in- door and outdoor meets, and defeated such teams as George School and Penn Charter. Bill Rogers started his brilliant track career at this time by being elected captain at the beginning of the season. Bill was our most consistent point-winner, but was very ably assisted by Montgomery, Thomas, Watson and Rhoads, and a host of others. Nineteen twenty-five has always been justlj- proud of this team, the first fruits of Coach Haddleton's untiring efforts. BUI, Monty and Ray also scored points in the varsity meets of that year, and Dusty probably woidd have, had he not been ineligible due to the one-year residence rule.
The most outstanding event of this none too fortunate season was the breaking of the college javelin record in the Swarthmore meet by Hugh ^lontgomery with a throw of 169 ft. 1 in. This feat was all the more noteworthy due to the fact that Monty had never thrown the javelin before coming under the guidance of "Pop." The Class of '25 furnished three letter men that year, Rogers, ^Montgomery and Thomas.
" I ■ -"(^

In our Sophomore year, Coach Haddleton's system began to bring forth definite results. Five meets were scheduled, and five victories were chalked up. Several things stand out pre-eminently in this undefeated year; first of all, our relay team surprised its closest followers by winning second place in its class in the Penn Relays. Of this relay team, composed of Bacon, Rhoads, C. H. Johnson, and Rogers, the last three are members of the Class of '25. Secondly, another college record was smashed, this time by Ray Thomas with a discus throw of 124 ft. 4}^ in. Most im- portant, however, was the final event of the season, the meet with Swarthmore, in which the Garnet failed to discover what it was all about, and were overwhelmingly defeated, 733^^ to 48^. Rogers and Thomas again won their letters, as did C. H. Johnson, Rhoads, and Chad wick. Watson won his numerals for his work with the discus, javelin, and shot. During Montgomery's absence, Harry Wilbur, '23, upheld the standard in the javelin, and in the Stevens meet made a throw of 172 ft. 3 in., which, however, was not allowed as a record due to a very favorable wind. At the close of the season, Bill Rogers was elected captain for the 1924 season.
Last year the schedule was cut unexpectedly bj' the cancellation of the Stevens and New York University meets. Dickinson, however, with a record of having been undefeated in dual meets during the past seven years, was secured for the first meet

of the season. For three-quarters of the meet, things looked black for Haverford, but a final clean-up in the field events clinched the meet for the Scarlet and Black by the score of 67 to 59.
The relay team failed to place in the Relay Carnival this year, but Montgomery took fifth place in the javelin throw with a mark of 172 ft. 83/2 in-, thereby bettering his former record by some 3 ft.
Delaware and Mulilenberg were then defeated in dual meets by the decisive scores of 953^^ to 303^2 and 95 to 31, respectively. In the latter meet, Ray Thomas bettered his former discus record by 2^ in.
The Middle Atlantic States Meet in 1924 was held at the University of Dela- ware, and five Haverford men qualified for the finals. Their combined efforts netted us fifth place, one point behind Rutgers and W. and J., who tied for third. In this meet, under fearful weather conditions, another college record fell when Chadwick pole-vaulted 11 ft. 23^ in. This makes three college records that have been broken by members of '25. Rogers, Chadwick, C. Johnson, Montgomery, Thomas and Watson won the coveted "H" this year, and Kumm and Rhoads their class numerals.
The Swarthmore contest was more of a swimming meet than a track meet, but the well-balanced Haverford team for the second year in succession won out, this time by the score of 70 to 54.
At the present wTiting, track work for 1925 has just begun. An unusually strong schedule has been prepared including dual meets with Dickinson, Rutgers, Delaware and Swarthmore, in the order named. However, the long-hoped-for board track has finally become a reality and daily workouts are being held on it. With this track for preliminary training, with Bill Rogers captain for the second time, and with "Pop" working every day with an enthusiastic and determined group, prospects are bright for another undefeated season.

yds THE 1925 season opens and we look back over the past tliree seasons, f^ X-m tilings certainly look brighter than at any other time during our stay at Haver- ^^"^ ford. Five veterans of three years' standing are on hand — Captain "Hap"
Yerkes, Billo, HoUingshead, Longstreth, and Willey — ^and these men should go far toward giving experience to the team. Add to these the outfielders, Saunders and Gott, and only two places are left to be filled with new material.
The new material is the bright spot for this year's team. The two open posi- tions should be ably filled from the group of likely looking Freshmen that is working out on '88 Field. Flint, Logan, Fox, Vanneman, Renwick, Hartzell, Richter, and several others show promise and probably have more ability than any group of Freshmen that has turned out for years.
The team has started earlier than ever before and is reaching an early season form far in advance of any shown since we appeared in the spring of IQS^. The only set-back has been the injury of Willey, who suffered a broken collarbone in a collision in a practice game. The team has a hard-working coach, Walter Halas, who has put his ginger into the men, and it is due to liis efforts that the outlook is so bright on the eve of the first game.
The record of our past teams has been one of few successes, but continued im- provement. Our first year was under "Moose" McCormick, and is best remembered by: "When I was with the Giants," and Holly's pitching behind the bench. Then, under Tom McNamara, two years were spent in which Willey and Holly made the varsity and raised our quota to four team members. Tom taught us a lot of baseball and will last long in our memories as a real coach and a "regular guy." His "Get a mask!" and "Don't get hurt!" will stay with us long after we play our last game for Haverford.
Manager Smith has arranged a good schedule for 1925, and we are expecting him to get us new black caps this year with which we hope to usher in an era of winning baseball. However the season turns out, we are all sure that with Coach Halas and Captain "Hap" at the helm, every game will be hard fought and a credit to Haverford. In conclusion, we must mention Doctor Babbitt's never-ceasing efforts to have intra- mural baseball and a " sports-f or-all " program that have done much to put us in a position to get out of the baseball rut.

X^RICKET, played at Haverford since the '60's, is still one of the chief spring ■ c\ sports. Beginning in January, one can hear the crack of bat on ball or the V-/ rattle of wickets — a horrible sound to cricketers — proceeding from the vicinity of the old Cricket Shed; and later, of course, generally by the middle of April, these sounds shift to Cope Field. This famous game has had many ups and downs in its long career at Haverford, but since the advent of the Class of '25 it has had decidedly nothing but "ups."
In Freshman year, there was a big turnout for this picturesque game. There being but two upper classmen on the Cricket XI, the competition for a place on the side was keen, and early in January the coach, a professional from England, was introduced to quite a squad of likely candidates. Harvey, who had played a bit of cricket at Penn Charter, the Garrett twins, and Silver made the varsity squad Freshman year. The Garretts, who faced the batter from "mid-on" and "mid-off" proved to be, with Graves at "cover point" the backbone of the fielding. For their ability in this department as well as for their substantial additions to the scoring, the twins were rewarded with numerals at the end of the season.
Sophomore year was an interesting one for cricketers at Haverford. After a fairly successful season at home, during which Gordy and Stokes joined Tom Garrett and Silver as representatives of '25 on the ele\'en, the team made a most interesting and eventful visit to Canada where matches were played with leading cricket teams near Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Phil Garrett, who had spent the year in Germany, joined the team on this trip and thus raised the number of Sophomores to five.
Although the "invasion" of Canada resulted in more defeats than victories, the beneficial results of the trip were apparent in Junior year when the team won the Philadelphia Cup Championship and was undefeated. The outstanding feature of the season was the contest between Comfort and Merion C. C; Captam Comfort batting out 139 runs "not out" against our strong neighbors. Tom Garrett, Silver, Gordy, and Stokes continued to be worthy representatives of the present Senior class — the former two receiving their letters as in the previous year. Phil Garrett, unfortunately for us, had dropped out for a year and had returned as a member of '26.
This year the highest ambition of Haverford cricketers has been realized, for upon the completion of the local schedule the XI, supported by Comfort, '24, and Logan, '23, will travel to England to play the famous English Public Schools. The team going abroad this year will be the sixth one representing Haverford to tour England; the last trip of the kind having been made in 1914. The schedule consists of matches with Uppingham, Kepton, Cheltenham, Eton, Rugby, and Rossall, with the possible addition of Malvern, Shrewsbury, and se\-eral Quaker schools. And this covers essentiallv the same £;round that former Haverford elevens have in England.
Page One Hundred ami Tweiify-lico
We are hopeful that this team will he as successful and will make as good a "showing" as any former Haverford cricket team has which has traveled abroad, but realizing that "all cricket is a game of chance as well as of skill" — ^especially in English weather — we say "Here's for luck!"
Tom Garrett captains this year's team. Preceded by a cricketing father, who brought him up a "left-hander" in the hope that he might be an asset to his team as a left-handed bowler, Tom has since Freshman year taken to cricket like a duck to water. Although he is not a bowler, as batter and fielder, he sets a good pace, Phil, twin brother to the worthy captain, likewise is a cricketer of note and a charter member of the Class of '25. He it is who walks in with Silver to "open up" the innings and wear down the opposition by his consistent playing. As a fielder he is the marvel, and he seems to enjoy nothing better than to catch a hot drive from a willow bat.
Gordy is a cricketer in a class by himself. 'Twas he on the Canadian trip in 1923 who bewildered the opposition by his unique and "snaky" delivery as a bowler, and by his original strokes while at bat. Silver comes next. He tries to be jack of all trades in this sport and we hope that he will continue to improve in his mastery of the ^-arious acts. Add to say, he too is a unique specimen — ^a playing manager — ■ thougii for all his apparent "drag" he can't get his order of batting changed. The fifth member of the Class of '25 to be a member of the XI is Stokes. He is an excel- lent "pointer" (commo el perro), a position he has held for several years, and many have been the balls he has scooped in with that little caressing motion of his.

/'^^^'^HE Haverford tennis teams, together with those of track and cricket, have i been the most uniformly successful in their matches, suffering only a small minority of defeats in the course of their seasons. Last year the team was defeated only once out of nine matches, at the hands of the Garnet, after tying Penn- sylvania in the best match of the season. Thirteen out of fifty-four individual matches were dropped during the entire season.
Of the five regulars of last year — Captain Foulke, Johnson, Marshall, Howgate and Lester — three are back this year. Captain Johnson played first singles in the majority of last year's matches and played ^'ery reliable tennis during most of the season. Marshall usually played third position, and ran through his season of dual matches without a defeat, in addition to forcing his match in the semi-finals of the Middle Atlantics to the limit before losing. Lester was fourth man last year and has improved his form considerably since then. With these three and Webster, the winner of last year's non-varsity tournament, as the probable upper ioxa of this year's line-up, prospects for another successful season are exceptionally bright. Last year's second team and the Freshmen may supply one or two new men on the team in the course of the schedule. Great emphasis was laid last year on tactics, particularly on doubles, and this will be of use to the team this year. Due to the early start of spring practice, three weeks earlier than last year, the danger of insufficient stroke- mastery by the time of the important early matches is decreased.
The schedule includes fourteen dual matches and participation in two tourna- ments— the Middle Atlantics and the IntercoUegiates. The hardest matches are with Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, Lafayette and Wesleyan, four matches that follow in close succession about the middle of the season. The other matches include Osteopathy, Drexel, New York University, Franklin and Marshall, Pennsylvania Military College, St. Joseph's, Stevens, Ursinus, and Delaware. Several fairly long trips are on the schedule. The season is longer than last year's by five matches, and will be a severe test of the team's ability; but there is every reason to suppose that the number of victories in the end will far outweigh the number of defeats.
The interest that the college in general has taken in tennis, and the number of aspirants for the team in particular, have increased considerably since the entry of '25. Although, with the exception of the captain, our class boasts no very powerful players, nevertheless we have witnessed the popularization of the college tournament and the rise of the second team. This year especially there has been an unusually large number of players working for positions on the team. Over a dozen men appeared on the courts at the first call in competition for the first team.
Last year was the first in which the second team undertook a protracted schedule. Under the excellent captaining of Starbuck, it marched through it undefeated, tying two matches. This squad presented an opportunity for a number of men that were not quite of varsity caliber. Baldwin, Leary and Wright played the most consistent

tennis for the scrubs. The competition for the second team was fairly severe and promises to be still more so this year if this team continues to maintain a distinct identity.
Two outside tournaments — the Middle Atlantics, the preliminaries of which were held here, and the Intercollegiatcs at the Merion Cricket Club — were participated in by the varsity men last year, and will be this year in all probability. In the former, Haverford ran up to Lehigh for second place, with Marshall in the semi-finals. This year Fritz Mercur, of Lehigh, last year's favored winner, is not competing, and the tournament may possibly provide a feather for Haverford's cap. The preliminaries are at Swarthmore. As to the Intercollegiatcs, in the number of its entries, at least, Haverford could vie with the best — Texas, Harvard and Yale.
It is only a cjuestion of time how soon tennis will attain the position of a major sport in actuality as well as in name, at Haverford. The fact that about sixty-four entries were received for the college tournaments in the past two years shows that numbers are not lacking. And as for quality, we have consistently defeated colleges of our size, and frequently much larger ones in this most estimable sport. In view of the approaching retirement of Tilden, Johnston and Williams from active compe- tition, an appeal has been made to the youth of America to supply worthy successors to them. Who knows, perhaps Haverford will some day produce a second Carl ^ischcr or Wallace Scott or Vincent Richards.

Musical Qlubs
(Z M XESPITE the boast of our esteemed predecessors to the effect that the musical m § clubs would be ruined by their graduation, the clubs have been better than ever this year. Mr. Weaver's arrangements of well-known tunes are a continuous delight, whether popular songs or opera airs, from "Rose Marie" or from "Madame Butterfly." Mr. Nocka's training, in spite of difficulties encountered early in the season, brought out unsuspected powers in the Glee Club.
For the first time in post-war days the Glee Club produced an efficient and entertaining quartet consisting of four men who knew how to sing — together. These now notorious members of our once glorious class, were, and still are: Leader, John Schulze; Stanley Willey, Douglass Eiseman, and Harman Yerkes. Under the title of the "Prickly Heat Quartet " they have warmed the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Radio Fans and Fannies.
Judging by tlie applause, all the numbers of the Glee Club were appreciated by the various audiences, and the style in which they were simg improved steadily all year. Comments on the concerts with Princeton, Swartlimore, and Hahnemann were decidedly fa^■orable, not to say generous, to Ha\'erford. Solos by Schulze, Newman, and Woll were alwaj's well done, besides which Warren Newman distin- guished himself by strictly private effusions (with Lyman Douglas' accompaniment), that were the high spots of many concerts. The Class of '^5 may feel justly proud of supplying one-third of its personnel to a really good glee club. There were a total of eleven members from '25 — Schulze, Douglas, Kumm, Longstreth, Lord, Mont- gomery, Newman, Warfield, AVilley, Wright and Yerkes.
Tlie Instrumental Club recruited a new and impressive array of mandolins. Merle Miller kept things stirring in the best possible manner; '25 possesses an in- comparable drummer in Frank Muller. His showing in "Driftwood," in which he shares the honors with the trumpeteers, is unforgetable. Among the violins Horace Heilman and Austin Wright struggled bravely to keep the bowing coincident with the concertmaster's.
The concert list included a preliminary at West Chester, before mid-year exams. Then at the end of examination week the trip to Atlantic City, where the clubs were the guests of Leeds and Lippincott as usual. The concerts at the Chalfonte and at Haddon Hall went off even better than in other years. The following week the clubs put themselves at the mercy of the Sophomore class at Wilson College, to the satis- faction of all concerned. After this the concerts were all nearer home, first at the Germantown High School, and then at Swarthmore in a joint affair. A concert with Princeton at the Academy of Music was followed the next evening by one at the new, palatial Brookline Square Club. The season closed with a brilliant Home Concert on March 20, and the following night a grand finale with Hahnemann in Philadelphia.

^^ENERAL increase of interest in the annual Cap and Bells productions has I -— - been developing during the past four years, and 1925 has offered its share of \y aspirants to histrionic honors. The Freshman try-outs revealed the fact that we had some "bad actors" among us as well as some promising material for the "big show."
"Mary Goes First" was the vehicle upon which "Hen" Strong rode to stardom. In this production Lord established a new long-distance cocktail-consuming record — some say it was mere grape juice, however.
It was in "A Successful Calamity" (distinctly a success and not at all a calamity) that vivacious little Prokosch demonstrated how French maids really should deport themselves. Here too. Lord began his stage career as a professional man (no, slave- dealing really isn't a recognized profession).
The great adventure of performing "The Great Adventure" at Sweet Briar is still spoken of with awe whenever two siu-viving members of the expedition meet. It is rumored that two members of the party ne\er returned, but a careful check-up shows that Warfield, Lord, Prokosch (the charming Honoria), and Willson have returned safely.
This year's performance is "The Boomerang," by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes. Our congenial manager, Barton, promises an extensive and interesting schedule — and who knows, something may come of these promises ! Silver is monarch of all he surveys south of the footlights and will no doubt spend the rest of his college career trying to round up the hospitalful of properties demanded by ^lessrs. Smith & Mapes. Lord is usually rather harmless (if kept away from duelling swords), but during the rehearsing of the "Boomerang" he very nearly caused the demise of one of our most loyal Ha^•erfordians. ]\I. Gille was watching Lord interpret the part of the French valet. He inquired of Tom Fansler as to what language, if any, Lord was speaking. When Tom explained that it was French, Monsieur slid quietly under the seat. However, he was revived after several hours and suffers no ill effects save an overwhelming desire to avoid hearing Lord speak French. Eiseman's amusing portrayal of Stone has led (so they say) to a flood of offers of contracts from all the world's leading theatrical producers. However, tliis is only a rumor so we will say nothing about it.

'The Qlassical Qlub
rHE main contribution of the Classical Club to Haverford life is the annual production of a play translated from the original language by Prof. D. P. Lockwood. This custom has now been followed for four years and has become an established part of the dramatic activities of the college. Doctor Lock- wood supervises the entire production, and to him goes most of the credit for the success of the plays. These ancient comedies have always drawn large representations from the schools and colleges of the Philadcli^hia district to witness their performance.
Tlie annual production of a Classical Club play was conceived and instituted with our advent into college. Tlie first production was the "Menaechmi" of Plautus, in which the brothers Sadtler, ''■24, played very realistically the roles of the twin brothers whose similarity in appearance gives rise to the main action of the plot. It was at this time that Prokosch first came into the limelight as a female imper- sonator and began his successful career in that aspect of dramatics. Sophomore year Plautus' "Miles Gloriosus" was presented with Haring, 'i\, as the swaggering hero, and Hibberd, 'l26, as the beautiful heroine. Lord, Prokosch, and Warfield represented our class in the cast. The "Rudens" of Plautus came next, and even surpassed its predecessors in the interest of its i)lot and in the acting ability mani- fested by the cast. The love scenes were perfect in their technique, and Lord's shock- ing parade down the aisle in the role of the seasick slave-dealer was the cause of much anxiet}' among certain members of the audience. Baldwin, '26, and Prokcsch made a hit as the leading female characters, while Eiseman was a great success as the citizen who, in the words of a young lady in the audience, "had something wrong with his back."
This year the "Adelphoe" of Terence fully lived up to the reputation made by the productions of previous years and is generally considered to have been the best yet performed. The cast was well chosen and the play lent itself nicely to a per- formance of this kind. The scenery was painted especially by Harold (Pete) Hurd, ex-'26, and added very effectively to the staging of the play. Eiseman took the leading role of a crusty old farmer and kept the audience constantly amused. Lord was again successful in the part to which it seems fate has assigned him — that of the wicked and unscrupulous slave-dealer. Warfield and Willson were well received in the roles of a dignified citizen and a decrepit old nurse, respectively. Baldwin and Hibberd, '36, and Horton, Yoder, Keith, Hartzell, MacConaghy, Woll, Rhoads, Hallock, and Whiting, all of '27, completed the cast.
At its regular monthly meetings during the year the Classical Club has heard a number of interesting speakers. It was run under the presidency of Wright, '25, with Prokosch, '25, acting as Vice-President, and D. J. Baker, '26, as Secretary. Doctor Lockwood holds the position of permanent treasurer. The club has already well proved its worth as a part of the extrra-curricuhun life of the college, and through its meetings and the production of the annual play it should continue to help sustain an interest in the studv of the classics at Haverford.

^Debating
(fit M UCH credit should be given to the \9io Debating Society for the influence
J^M it has exerted in renewing at Haverford an interest in the ancient art of
^"^ debating. Organized four years ago, this society has actively engaged in
studying and practicing debating until the press of studies (?) compelled cessation
of its activities this year.
Last year the control and management of debating affairs was turned over to the Debating Council, of which Lord has been chairman since Junior year. Under the council, two strenuous seasons have been conducted with great success. In Freshman and Sophomore years, the varsity debated only the Philomathian Society of Penn. Both these debates were won by Haverford. Last year the varsity met five strong intercollegiate opponents in dual debates and won all ten of these con- tests, losing but three judges' votes of the thirty votes cast.
The Interclass Debates have always been a matter of keen college interest. In Freshman year. Lord, Barton and Starbuck took the Sophomores into camp and Lord was awarded the Everet Society Medal. In Sophomore year the tables were turned, but in Junior year, Lord and Barton won the annual fray with the Seniors and were awarded the Alumni Prize.
'The Qhess Qlub
/^^^ HE Haverford College Chess Club was reorganized last fall after having been m inactive since 19'20. Through the efforts of the Radio Club a radio chess match with Oxford University was planned, and a tournament was arranged for the purpose of selecting a team to represent the college. Twenty-four players competed in the tournament which was won by Nelson J. Hogenauer, '!28. The chess team was made up of the four semi-finalists, Hogenauer, '28, Davis, '28, Leary, '26, and Leeds, '26 (captain).
The Haverford-Oxford match was played December 8, and despite the bad weather conditions, the two teams kept in constant communication across the Atlantic for five and one-half hoiu-s. The games were played simultaneously, but unfortu- nately they were never more than half completed, as the English Postal authorities interfered, declaring that the transmission of anything other than strictly test messages was in violation of the amateur radio license.
A six-board match with the University of Pennsylvania on December 16 resulted in a 6 to 0 defeat. However, the team was not so completely outclassed as the score seems to indicate, the games played by Hogenauer and Leary being particularly closely contested. Greene, '26, and Lewis, '26, jilayed the fifth and sixth boards, respectively.

The Haverfordian
••«,
/^^^HE HAVERFORDIAN has often been a cause of some amusement, some M adverse criticism, a little praise, and considerable indifference. It has been, every year, in the hands of a rather definite group of men. In Freshman year Abbott and Reitzel were the leading spirits, in Sophomore year Pruitt and Rutt, in Junior year Reich and Comfort, and in our own year the Senior members of the board.
By the end of Sophomore year there had been three men from our class elected to the board: Johnston, Sellers, and Warfield. In Junior year Prokosch was added. They had all submitted poetry, fiction, and essays. Sellers was notable for his essays and Warfield for his verse. At the end of Junior year Johnston was elected to the editorship. His fellow helmsman was Pittman, the business manager, who was aided by Bentley as circulation manager. After a tremendous amount of work by the managers and some ingenuity on the part of the editors, the Haverfordian came out in new dress. There was a new cover by Prokosch, and an entirely new makeup.
This year Wright, Acton, and Stiller have been contributors. The editors feel that they have had a successful year. A new policy of soliciting a few alumni manu-

scripts has added some prominent names and interesting articles to the magazine. The faculty have also contributed. A "Numero Grotesk" was brought out suc- cessfully (that is, it was agreed that it was grotesque). Exchange editors have men- tioned the Haverfordian even more favorably than usual, and one of them went so far as to choose the makeup, a play, an essay, and a poem for an all-collegiate magazine.
Inheriting a mess from the preceding manager, the business board has put the magazine on a firm basis and enaVjles it to enlarge at any time tliat the editors find they can get the material to do so. The Harerfordian has had more readers this year than ever before since its resurrection.
'The Haver ford 3\Cews
.♦©
/^^^HE NEWS has led a varied and troubled existence during our sojourn at M Haverford. It has been designated at times as a weak, ultra-conservative journal, and on other occasions has been called a radical, blasphemous yellow sheet. But much of the time it has steered safely between this Scylla and Charybdis and maintained a fair standard of excellence. Only those who have run a college paper know the difficulties encountered in trying to satisfy the undergraduate lust for sensation and the constant demands of the alumni for news of more interest to them and still avoid incurring the wrath of the powers that be.
On the Editorial Board, Chadwick and Wright made the grade in Freshman year, and were joined in Sophomore year by Sassaman. Many are the harrowing tales which they could tell of weary hours spent in reading proofs in the two-by-four composing room of a Norristown printing shop, or in dashing off editorials at the last minute under heavy pressure from the awful Jones or the suave Hogenauer. Junior year Sassaman was entrusted with the guiding reins of policy, and at once the old order yielded place to new. Fresh wallpaper and flowered curtains appeared in tlie Xeu'ti office, the size of the paper was increased, book reviews and dramatic

criticisms were installed as part of the regular order of things, the editorials were actually read by the undergraduates, and in many cases the Neivs took the respon- sibility of directing the college off the hands of the Board of Managers. At the end of Junior year Sassaman decided to exchange college for higher things, and the edi- torial mantle fell upon the shoidders of J. H. Marshall, '26, who has successfully edited the paper during the past year.
Eiseman and Gross have represented the class on the Business Board, ^•ery early showing a great aptitude for handling the shekels and seeing that the paper did not reach the subscribers more than a week late. A great advance was made last year when the Alumni adopted the policy of sending the News regularly to all the members of their association. At the end of Junior year, E. H. Kingsbury, '26, was selected to carry on as Business JNIanager. The Netvs is now on a firm basis, and the hope and belief of the class is that it will continue to hold nearly as great an interest or us after graduation as it has held during our college days.

The Scientific Society
/N FEBRUARY, 1924, officers for the fiscal year of the Scientific Society were elected. They were: President, Hugh Montgomery, '25; Vice-President, John Silver, '25; Secretary, Hugh Borton, '26, and Treasurer, Edward S. Wood, '26. The President appointed a Program Committee and a ^Membership Committee. These committees; Professor Rittenhouse, Robert Bates, '25, Conrad Acton, '25, James Watson, '25, Charles Johnson, '25, and Henry Evans, '26, together with the officers of the society, comprised the Executive
The committee decided that speakers in these several sciences — chemis- try, physics, astronomy, biology, geology, engineering, and medicine — should be obtained if possible, and that at least one meeting should be addressed by student speakers. President Montgomery said that the best work that the society could do would be to get first-rate speakers and that the next best work would be to encourage members to do research work with the help of each other and to report the results of the work to the society. He thought that there is no better way for a student to develop his mind scientifically than to supplement his class work with research work along the line in which he is most interested.
Meetings with speakers were held every month. The first meeting was on February 12 in the Chemistry Building. Dr. Charles La Wall told of the histories and origins of many of the common as well as of some unusual spices. Mr. Bernard Lester, of the Class of '04 of the college, spoke before the March meeting on storage batteries, their manufactiu-e and diverse uses. Dean Palmer had given a most inter- esting lecture on liquid air to a Physics class so he was requested to repeat it before the society. This he did at the April meeting.
At the April meeting the society decided to visit the Victor Talking Machine's plant in Camden. This trip took place a few days later, and was a most successful one.
One of the best speakers that the society has had for several years was Dr. Charles Reese, chief chemist of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company, of Wilmington, Del. He spoke on the "Relations of the Sciences" at the meeting in May. On a clear evening of tlie following week the society met in the college observatory. Professor Gummere very kindly explained the use of the telescope.
Tiie next regular meeting was held in October. Mr. Bowden, the engineer in charge of construction of the Camden side of the Delaware River Bridge, gave an illustrated lecture covering his work. Dr. David Todd, former Professor of Astronomy at Amherst University, addressed the November meeting. Edwin Laug, '25, Conrad .\cton, '25, and Willard Mead, '26, each presented a subject before the December meeting. Dr. George E. Pfahler, a leading roentgenologist of Philadelphia, gave a most interesting medical talk at the January meeting.
With the use of the new chemistry, jiiiysics, and biology buildings, as well as the anticipated construction of an up-to-date engineering building, the sciences should come into their own and equal the standard that has been set for the arts at Haverford. The Scientific Society should play an ever-increasingly important rSle in the relations of tlie student scientists.

The %adio Qlub
rHE history of the Radio Club goes back a number of years, but the organi- zation was not, until the advent of the broadcasting era, a recognized campus activity. In 1922 the "radio bug" began to bite, and among its victims were included a dozen, or so technically inclined Haverfordians. As popular interest in the new science developed the Radio Club grew in membership and it is now one of the largest undergraduate organizations.
As the size of the club increased the equipment was improved and modern apparatus was installed to take the place of the obsolete pre-war instruments. A steel tower was given to the club by an alumnus, Mr. Nelson West, and this was erected mainly by the hard work of a number of the club members who labored for a week before college opened in the fall of 1923. A modern broadcasting outfit was also built by several of the members and before the end of the year "code" from the college station had been heard in every state, in Porto Rico, and in Hawaii. Under the call WABQ, many concerts by the various college musical organizations have been heard as far nortb as northeastern Quebec, west to Saskatchewan, Canada (about 1,500 miles from Haverford), south to Tennessee, and east to Maine.
A n umber of lectures by members of the faculty and by prominent outside speakers have been "put on the air" through WABQ. For the past two years all important lectures at the college have been broadcast, and the transmitting of this year's Mid-Winter Banquet speeches was unusually successful. On this occasion alumni in Washington, D. C., and in Tennessee reported hearing the program.
The Radio Club became internationally known when it very successfully carried out the first trans-Atlantic chess game between the Haverford College Chess Team and the Oxford University Chess Club. Despite heavy odds brought about by most unfavorable weather conditions the two teams were in constant touch with each other for f ve and a half hours.
Much valuable information was secured by the club during the Intercollegiate Radio League Solar Eclipse Fading Tests, in which the club's station took a leading part.
The club has done much to bring Haverford to the front, and the value of the broadcasting work has become evident to all. Through WABQ the community in which Haverford is located is brought into more intimate contact with the college and thousands of persons can share in the lectures and concerts which formerly were a\'ailable only to students and a few of their friends. As student extension work the broadcasting has done much toward keeping the future college student's mind focused on Haverford. WABQ forms an invisible link between hundreds of alumni scattered throughout the East, and it is the goal of the club to have, within the near future, a station powerful enough to reach a thousand miles in every direction, spread- ing Haverford thoughts and ideals into many homes within hearing of WABQ.

'The Seaman's Qlub
W jj VER since the days of Old Man Noah, made notorious in recent years by gij tlie Glee Club, every red-blooded lad is expected at some crucial time during — his pre-adult life, to feel the lure of the sea engulf his being in some vast wave of hormic urge, and casting off all restraining ties, to gloriously achieve self- realization in a baptism of salty spray. For some unfortunate souls, this adventurous cruise is limited to the boundaries of the imagination. But there are some who, side by side with the ghosts of the old Norsemen, overcome all obstacles, and meeting Father Neptune face to face upon his own champs de hataille, come back with tales t o shiver the spine of the landfarer.
The Seaman's Club is a group of such ^-aliants. Beware ye all who dare to cross them ! Can anyone forget how under the leadership of its lamented past skippers, the Seaman's Club stood resolutely, in the face of all opposition, against reactionary movements of all sorts, and stood alone for the cause of liberty? Its broad, liberal policies represent the highest plane of intellectual endeavor, and will always be reckoned at their true worth.
The Seaman's Club has taken some distinct strides forward this year under the leadership of Skipper Stifler and Father Middleton, and is considering many plans for further progress. Among these, the permanent establishment of a nautical seminary to adequately train prospective sailors in all the rudiments of seamanship, seems to be the most promising. As an example of the value of such training it might be of interest to cite the case of one of the present members, who, having had considerable sea-going experience, is now vice-commodore in the reserve marine.

^he English Qlub
/^^^HE English Club was organized some five years ago under the guidance of M Dr. Edward Douglas Snyder, who has since been its constantly attending patron saint. He has led it on the steep path of highbrowism which has caused more than one callow undergraduate to sneak about Leary's or McCawlej''s in quest of better literature and to lay aside the sickly, feminine cigarette in favor of the more manly, intellectual pipe. (We have purposely refrained from using sports writers' terms such as mellow briar or well-colored meerschaum.)
The idea of the English Club was to provide the upper-classmen with an organi- zation of an informal and social nature in which they might discuss certain phases of modern literature not covered in ordinary class-room work. This aim has never been lost sight of, and this club is one of the few on the campus that is almost totally free from any political procedure, and no constant effort has been necessary to pre- vent it from dying of dry-rot. It is a live and happy organization.
The first speaker to appear before this sober-minded group of young men-of- letters was Dr. Rufus 'SI. Jones, whose talk on Browning was received with such acclaim that it was e\'ident that a larger auditorium than Dr. Snyder's living-room would be necessary to accommodate the club.
^lany men of literary distinction ha\'e addressed the club in the past, among this number were: Dr. Rufus M. Jones, on Browning and later on Emerson; Prof. Walter Swain Hinchman, on "Bayard Taylor and the Echo Club"; Mr. Austin K. Gray, on "The Women in Shakespeare's Plays"; George Gibbs, the well-known painter and writer of best-sellers, addressed us on "Writing Novels"; the late Prof. R. M. Alden, of Leland-Stanford University, addressed us last j^ear on "Theories of Fiction"; Mr. Arthur Hildebrand, magazine writer, who has been missing with AVallace Nutting's exploring party, on a small boat in the North Atlantic, addressed us, just before he set off on this unfortunate expedition, on "Writing foraLiving"; Clayton Hamilton, the dramatic critic, addressed an open meeting on "Sheridan and his Plays"; Mr. Norreys O'Conor, poet, and at present of the Bryn MawT faculty, addressed us on "Modern Anglo-Irish Poetry" (he also read a few of his owai compo- sitions); President Comfort talked to the club about "William Cooper"; Mr. Thomas L. Pansier, of the Haverford English Department, talked on "The Drama in the Philippines"; Dean Palmer talked on "Modern Poetry," and Mr. J. C. Squires, editor of the London Mercvry, talked on "Poetry, Ancient and Modern."
Diuing the Jiniior year of the Class of '25, Nash, '!24, was president of the club while "Geff " Billo was treasurer and steward. In our Senior year Stifler held the presidency, and Baldwin, ''26, the position of steward.
The intellectuals have showTi a taste for food, real as well as me nta his
desire for refreshment has provided the steward-treasurer with a pleasant duty. Our cocoa and whipped cream before the fire in the Union has been a ceremonj' which will be one of the pleasant memories of the two last winters in college.

rHE Press Club is one of those organizations which has been born and grown to maturity during the sojourn of l9'-25 at Haverford, and as such, may find a short liistory of its origin and activities not unfitting in the Record of tiie Class of '25.
Granville E. Toogood, '20, Alumni Secretary during 1923 and 1924, conceived, in making plans for Haverford extension work, that an active organization within the student body itself might be one of the most potent methods of achieving desired publicity. The project was laid before a meeting of those possibly interested during the lull following the 1923 mid-year exams, and from that meeting the Press Club was organized for the threefold purpose of Haverford publicity, journalistic training, and study of contemporary literature.
The first of these purposes was intended to be, and has remained, the main function of the club. A city editor, appointed bi-weekly, makes it his business to see that any news of importance occurring around college is distributed to tiie city newspapers and to the home and school publications of the undergraduates actively concerned. This part of the club work went with a rush from the very start, and it was estimated that, during the short period of the organization's existence between its birth in February and the election meeting in ]\Iay, upward of twenty thousand words of Haverford publicity had appeared in print, thanks to the club's efforts.
The other two features of the club's acti\ities have been carried on in the past mainly with the assistance of outside speakers. On several occasions, newspaper men from the Philadelphia dailies have spoken before those interested in journalism. Lectures on contemporaneous literature, both by members of the college faculty and men from other sources, have never failed to prove entertaining; the applause accorded them was exceeded only by the enthusiasm with which the invariably following refreshments were received. The occasion in the spring of 1924 when Christopher Morley, '10, spoke under the auspices of the Press Club before what is termed in the columns of the News "a capacity gathering in Roberts Hall," is one of the high lights of the society's short existence.
The close of the first organization meeting foimd W. R. Jones, '23, and N. A. White, '23, in the respective offices of president and secretary-treasurer. After successfully conducting the club through the trying period of its babyhood, they relinquished their positions to Jim Robertson, '24, and W. R. ("Mike") Sassaman, '25. Robertson's sudden death, in the fall of 1923, left the presidency vacant, and Sassaman was chosen to carry on his work, while H. J. Hogenauer, '24, took over the duties of the secretaryship. In February, "Sass" relinquished his presidential post in favor of the editor's desk on the News, and Austin Wright, '25, was elected as the fourth president within a year. In the election of officers for 1924-1925, L. E. Chad- wick, '25, was chosen president, and C. R. Tatnall, '26, secretary-treasurer.

Who thinks himself an awfiil swell, Knows everything that books can tell, And falls in love with every belle?
The Senior.
Who rates the college life a bore. Yet goes each night upon a "roar," Aiid don't get back till almost four?
The Junior.
Who thinks himself a shining light, Above the Freshman sucli a height, A man of intellect and might?
The Sophomore.

Who's timid first and very green, Considers all the Sophomores mean, Yet soon has cheek enough, I ween? The Freshman.
Grand Chorus:
The Sophomore swells, the Junior toys, Tlie Senior dreams of married joys,
When college days are past; Of cottage walls where he and she, With blue-eyed angels, — one, two — three, Coeducate at last.

June — And After?
EACH year a group of young men i step from their little world of school and college into the much larger world outside of industry and human accomplishment. What they do in the precious years after graduation should be governed by early finding and sticking with that line of effort which each finds most satisfying to himself.
