In spite of her unruffled appearance, her many friends find her an enthusi­ astic gal who is always fascinated with something, be it Orson Welles’s latest play, that ever present knitting, or the trickiest new dance step. It will be a long time before we forget her wonderful open-houses, where everybody dances to the renowned Saul Capehart and eats the renowned Saul orange ice and ginger ale.

You wouldn’t guess that Bonnie just joined us in ninth grade, a short four years ago, 'cause she’s certainly a vital part of the class. Her Yardley complexion and her winning ways have worked wonders with some peo­ ple—we won't mention names! She’s our class artiste par excellence, including among her accom* plishments dramatics, dancing, painting, and a smat­ tering of poetry. She's headed for Radcliffe, which shouldn't be difficult, since she's certainly not run­ ning short of gray matter. What's the other attrac­ tion in Cambridge, Bonnie?

EMILY C. BRADBURY |sJO PICNIC or house party is complete without Brad. She's always right there with something up her sleeve. She's also a familiar sight steaming around in that black Buick, walking Wilmer to school, or tearing, and we do mean tearing, up the hockey field. For what would the first team have done this year without her? But that’s not all. If you ever hear a stray melody running out of the assembly you’ll know it’s Brad, ’cause she really is a pianist. Her indifference to our class Rhetts can probably be accounted for by a secret passion else' where—we won't say where.

FRANK H. BORDEN, JR. ^KEETER has long had the reputation of being the class screwball, though we all think that per' haps this is a little too harsh. But when he gets his back to the wall in ardent defense of his beloved capitalism, he certainly can turn on the heat(h). Borden's striking similarity to Mickey Rooney, both in features and actions, has been noted by many, but we know Skeeter certainly outdoes his double in handling a car. He is usually busy planning pranks, and we often fear for him, although it does seem that Providence has him in its special care. a

"^HERE’S Ginny?" It's Bette, of course, song in hand, just dashing off to the music room where she spends many hours in practice, or ener­ getically getting down to business over that History of Art. At home, for Bette, it’s a musical round of piano, breath-control, and Deanna Durbin records all the time, and she loves it! Bette has already started her career by singing the lead in the glee club concert. Some day we’ll find that we've had a Metropolitan star in the class all along. Her big friendly smile and sunny personality make friends for her wherever she goes.

JOHN N. CHILDS, JR. .rf*''’ k

^^HEN Chub arrived in 9th grade, he was al­ ready familiar to a great many of us as the baby-faced Latin class visitor who peeked in desks to pass the time away. Soon his laugh, which went up and down the major scale, became famous. Now he has lost the baby-face and soprano giggle and has become our ace all-around man of facts, figures, and what have you! Somehow he divides his time among studies, athletics, the ladies, and music lessons. How he can do all this and still get to bed at 8 o’clock is beyond us.

|F YOU want individualism bordering on genius, Ehrie's the girl for you, for she's definitely one of the most original and imaginative in the class. She has a flair for wearing unusual clothes, plenty of poise, and a big interest in art, and is never too busy worrying over German and being art editor of the Blue and White and Pastorian to have fun with the rest of us. Dancing and lacrosse take up a good deal of her time, and if you came to any hockey games this fall you saw her monopolizing the right wing in a great big way.

JOE'S the boy who makes a girl's heart do a hop, a flip, and a half gainer. He kept up his end ot the football team this year and has been developing his muscles for years out in Dubois, where he can break in a colt in no time. President in the 9th grade after one year here (he lost no time), he has since been more than an embellishment at everv dance and party. In spite of his rustic antics and those ties on which we read his breakfast menus, Joe looks well in everything he eats and is the friend and pal of everyone.

If you've ever tried to argue with Sally you know what we mean when we say she's a determined woman. Just try to prove to her that rattletraps are a menace to Sunday drivers. But, all joking aside, what would we have done without all those wonderful hockey games and picnics in Awbury and New Jersey?

If you ever want any inside information about the western parts of our continent, just ask Cliff, because he's a self'appointed authority.

"1"HERE goes a hard line drive out over the in* held, and Foust pulls up with another hit,' That's what we expect the sports announcer to be saying a few years from now. If he does, it will only be a repetition of one of Clem's many athletic feats here at G.F.S., for he’s been captain of three of our teams this year and has been on them for so long we’ve lost count, But bis activities don’t stop there. He's just as much at home at every social gathering as in the gym exhibition, Whatever he does he does well.

5CUBBY is a very busy, important boy, or at least appears so to some. He not only gets more than his share of good grades, but also finds time to be a ladies' man of sorts. Music is Scub’s pet hobby, and he can tell you anything you may want to know about it, besides being able to play a mean clarinet. He's got quite a collection of records ranging from Bach to Glenn Miller and bach again. Maybe you haven't noticed, but Scubby’s quite an athlete these days. You just ought to see him on the parallel bars.

"|"HOUGH Goody hates to be called popular and denies it warmly, still there's no getting around the fact that she is. And no wonder! For no matter how many dates, honors, or good marks she rates, she's always Goody, the class pal. She is renowned for her efficiency, but don’t let that scare you off, because she's also one of the best'dressed girls in the class and always has a stock of jokes on hand to send us into hysterics. And if you want to hear a sales talk on sunny California, just ask Miss Goodrich a few questions.

STANLEY W. ROOT, JR. STANLEY has. seen the world from the Mediterranean to Mexico and in two short years has earned the title of the class Richard Halliburton. Although usually quiet and reserved, he discusses the topics of the Arena, skating, and all other sports from ping'ponge’ to baseball with gusto. He even prefers a hockey game to a Senior Dance. Stan, lucky lad, has often been successful in getting us the Arena for skating and hockey games, for which we are certainly grateful. When he talks sports, his face lights up with that smile which could win hearts—hut he just doesn't seem to care.

JOSEPH M. RUBENSTONE WHEN Ruby joined us in 9th grade he was a big addition to the class, and his energy and ad' getting power are truly equal to that of three. No matter how goofy his ideas seem, we usually fob low them, and they always turn out well, to our great surprise. Ever willing to help anyone (and also to be helped), he is exceedingly popular and good'natured. It is impossible to forget that he's a drummer, for he always accompanies Miss Wey^ gandt’s poetry reading with ruby rhythm. If we had more space we'd tell hu mor about his humor.

She's always been the center of every gnmp and right on top of the heap as far as lessons are concerned—just an old brightie, Virginia! Pris is in her forte wherever sports, music, or funny remarks are to be found, and that irrepressible giggle is generally the fore' runner of a good, healthy laugh. Wyoming and (?) hold great charms for Virginia, and we have a sneaking suspicion why!

JAMES E. SHIPLEY, JR. pLO, Elf, Serge, Flannel, or what have you, is, and always has been, a rambunctious young man. Whenever there is a touch or pec'wee base' ball game, Flo is there playing his head off. But of late he has been vying with the rest of us for the title ’’Best Dressed Man. Man.” It’s marvelous what a woman can do, and it isn't his mother either. But in spite of this evil influence Flo is still himself, always cheerful and ready to talk about anything on a high or slightly lower level. It was a lucky day when he dropped in on us in 4th grade.

Although he's another of our best dressers, hardly a day goes by that she doesn’t complain that her hair is out. Something's screwy somewhere, 'cause it always looks pretty swell to us. Whenever you hear the familiar “Come on, Maryanne,” look for Rig, because she always seems to be waiting for her. You just ought to see her imitate R(X)sevelt and Garbo. But if she isn't mimicking somebody, she's inventing crazy ideas or hanging around with the rest of the neighborhood. Again we say, Lucky gal. c

FRANK K. TARBOX pRANK's that little man who wasn't here last year, for while we were stooging away in Ger^ mantown he was down South getting discipline in a military academy and learning to fly. He’s just a born diplomat, and untangling class argU' ments between the pacifist and belligerent camps, i.s. Waring and Childs, is his specialty. When he is not seriously occupied on the soccer field or else' where, he is cutting capers with his pals Shipley and Yarnall. That pilot's license and the life above the clouds have inspired him to greater heights, though he'll have quite a grow before he reaches Heath.

JOME people say Hefs an athlete. We’ve tried every way possible not to mention it, but why not? Besides making the All Scholastic for the third time this year, she's a whizz at every sport. Have you ever seen her dive? Hel's no dumbbell, though. She's been on the commended list for ages, and this year is no exception. No one can tell us she doesn’t work, because we've seen the innumer­ able notebooks she keeps. If there’s ever a “twentv of or twenty after" pause, Hel will have some re­ mark or other ready to fill the gap.

QUCKY is the most enthusiastic pacifist and socialminded citizen of the class, partly because these subjects provide good excuses for an argument. Many hours have been wasted in such debating in Mr. Domi's room, with Waring always in the chick of things, arguing his head off for the good (?) cause. As co-captain and mainstay of our victorious soccer team this fall, he was indispensable. Even though he gets mixed up in Math class sometimes, he gets along pretty well with the residents of that room. Nevertheless, Ducky is always practical and busy doing something or other, of more or less im­ portance.

MARIE LOUISE THOMPSON

3*’.^ ♦

THOMPY is one of those people who is always overflowing with fun and in a gay mood. Behind her floppy curls is an ever bubbling sense of humor, besides an unlimited supply of quick rc' marks ready to burst forth at almost any unexpected moment. We frequently see her bouncing along the hall on tiptoes, which she has been doing for simply ages. Somehow, how, we don't quite see, for she is supposed to be a very busy gal, she finds time to study music, to knit on one of those many Shetland sweaters, or to listen to recordings.

RICHARD S. WELSH “1“WEEDY'S

outstanding characteristic is his in' domitable, irrefragable, and eternal good humor. Time means nothing to him, for he evades Mr. Domi's “stay after school” law daily. Hjs shirt and touseled hair are early morning topics of con' versation, and we know that whenever Tweedy's absent he's just spending the day in his darkroom. When it comes to organic chemistry and cameras, he is second to none, and we hear that he spends a lot of time in his chem lab at home. In spite of all the work he does to get the much coveted A, Bamini still finds time to play the piano.

Sirs: On page 77, line 24, column 3, of your issue of May 8th, you stated that “the Spitzella Passerina Passerina has an alary tail with crimson dots.” This is absolutely erroneous! I quote as stated on page 398, line 16 of the “Complete Works of John J. Audubon”: “The Spitzella Passerina Passerina has an alary tail with carmine dots.” Perhaps you do not realize the harmful effect this will have on the bird population of Sadwynne, and I demand that you come here at once and present a complete retraction! Walter J. Johnson, Jr. Sadwynne, Pa. ► Sorry, Mr. Johnson. We are not carmine.—Ed.

Sirs: Re your issue of May 23rd, you stated that “Penelope O’Toole is un­ doubtedly our country’s greatest woman lawyer.” Unfortunately the records prove the case to be other­ wise. America’s most outstanding lawyeress is Ann Goodrich of this city, for she has had the distinction of presenting seven cases before the Supreme Court, none of which she has lost. She is also the authoi’ of the current best-seller, “The True Story of the Assassination of Adolph Hitler.”

President's Precedent

Daintificd Digits

Last week in Washington the chair­ man of the Democratic National Committee, Senator Taxem N. Cheetem, announced definitely that if Franklin D. Roosevelt decides not to run for a thirteenth term, the Dem­ ocratic candidate will be David Heath of Philadelphia. This was a most surprising announcement, for you will recall it was Mr. Heath who ran against F.D.R. four years ago on the Communist-Farmer-Labor-Downwith-everything-that’s-up ticket.

The Ehret Paint and Varnish Co. has just authorized the world-wide dis­ tribution of their r^ew p r o d n t. Fnsfer-Glo Nail Polish. Said Mlle. Ehret at a re'^ent interview; “Although I originally invented this product so that I would be able to find mv fingers while drawing at night, it proved to be so satisfactory that I feel morally oblig'ated to offer it to the public

Maid for the Job

Simultaneously with the Democratic announcement came the Republican decision to name Virginia Freeman as their choice for the job. Miss Freeman is America’s outstanding actress, but, has also written many books on the problems of politics, Said Congresswoman, V. R. Soakinem, upon hearing the announcement: ‘T think it was a very wise thing to do, for now all the Republican >meetings will be ‘standing room only’.n” CRIME

Arrested in a little street in Singa­ pore and sentenced to five years of double-features was the international spy. Sue “Star of Bethlehem” Foster. She was court-martialed and convicted of international cavesdropping by six different countries.

Artiste Little

Last week Dooboys, Wyoming, saw a most unusual one-man art show by a most unusual artiste, Rita Little. Miss Little, who had just returned from twelve and a half years study in Arabia, presented her latest mas­ terpieces tatooed on the hides of the blue-ribbon horses of X-Bar-X Ranch. Although her work is fi­ nanced by a WPA grant, she donates the money to the d’Oily Cart Co. and supports herself on her winnings from '■ slot-machines and from short stories written for the Satevepost.

twenty-second edition of the Student Handbook was much like twenty'second its nredecessnrs pxeent its predecessors except for for thp* the usual usual rpvisincr revising and and thf: the traditional job of bringing it up to date. (If the steady gain toward absolute accuracy means anything, we should have a perfect edition about 1950.) This handy dictionary contains helpful information about the school and its various activities. What would we do without this flexible blue booklet? The credit of doingo such a splendid job goes to Helen Stafford, who was ably assisted by her associate editors. he

T

year's dances may be modestly spoken of as a great success, for the hard-working committee has done an excellent ex job of making each occasion a memorable one. The orchestras have been marvelous and the people congenial. Burying the hatchet with the scenery crew— thus terminating the age old feud—the dance committee has returned the boxes and the scenery crew put up the curtains around the orchestras. But in spite of new decorations and expensive orchestras, the able committee has managed to keep the finances on the black side of the books. his

FOOTBALL /k oMUO SMOOTH'RUNNING 1H-KLINNING backfield coupled with an experienced line resulted in a ** successful campaign for the G.F.S. eleven. Out of a small squad of sixteen si: hoys of which only sLx were veterans from last year, Mr. Breininger was able to mold one of the most outstanding backfields in the school’s history. The four ball carriers piled up 97 points, while our opponents pushed across only 30 points against a stubborn G.F.S. forward wall. With machinedike precision, the team rolled up four straight victories, the most exciting over the highly rated Tower Hill squad. Unfortunately the last two games spoiled what might have been an undefeated record. These last two struggles were as thrilling and hard fought as any seen on Wistar Brown Field for years. The lead in the Springfield game changed hands six times before Springfield scored the winning touchdown in the last few seconds. SCHEDULE

HOCKEY T HE Girls' Hockey Team was not to be outshone by the Soccer Team. We also had ■ a grand and glorious undefeated season. This record has only been equaled once before in the past twelve years. There were only five old timers, four of them seniors, to start the season, but by team spirit and the leadership of our capable captain, Dinnie Price, we came through with flying colors. Spectacular teamwork among the forwards and flawless guarding by the defense held the opposition practically scoreless. Each of the five stars in the forward line had her day of scoring, which kept the other team guessing. As a sure proof of the team's ability, three of the ^irls made the AlhScholastic.

The first team was not alone in its glory. The second team missed an undefeated season by only one goal, and out of nine teams, Eve were undefeated. SCHEDULE

LACROSSE THE 1940 Lacrosse team was set for a swell season, during which we hoped to have ■ our slate covered with victories. Alas, the rains came. Pouring rain and muddy fields are not ideal weather for the old Indian sport, Also, it was not possible to extend our season because of tennis. However, we were able to have a playday with Shipley and two games—one with Springside, the other with Swarthmore. Snappy little passes brought us out on top in the Springside encounter, but the Swarthmore defense was an almost unpenetrable bulwark. We held them 44 in the first half, which is something considering they haven't been beaten in nine years. Nine Seniors made the first team—which will cause quite a gap next year. How' ever, the ninth graders on the second team showed real ability. The second team also won one game and lost one. o IJNE-UP

BOYS' BASKETBALL HE team this year clemonstrated the fact that a good basketball team needs; more than height, for the starting line-up averaged about ..5 feet 9 inches. But they made up for not being able to push the ball into the basket by accurate shooting, often from long range. With their deceptive pivot plays and clever balbhandling the quintet tallied a total of 514 points. An alert defense kept opponents’ scoring at a minimum. The year's most outstanding victory was over our old rivals from Chestnut Hill, whom we defeated by the impressive score of 49'15. Another outstanding win was over Germantown Academy, marking the fourth consecutive year we have beaten them. Victories over Friends' Select, Wilmington Friends, and Moorestown Friends placed our squad near the top in its rivalry with other Friends' Schools.

BASEBALL team has batting punch, dependable fielding, and an unusually strong pitchin g cf-nff T^rvf^ XX'jfTill ic i-Ko r/>rrnloT* c^'jrf’f'r m f’hn Knv •□r^rl n!ic r>rri\rf>ri t’O ni> on r\T t’n - staff. Don Magill is the regular starter in the box and has proved to be one of the ablest pitchers in Germantown. If he ever loses effectiveness, which he very rarely does, Clem Foust is switched from his shortstop position to the mound and has never failed to stop an opposing team’s rally. Between Don's steam and Clem's drop curve, the batter and the catcher, Dick Forster, both have a hard time getting hold of the ball.

The results have been startling: won 7, lost 1. There's a little room for improve' ment in the fielding, but the team has kept the errors down to 2 or 3 a game. LINE'UP
