WILSON "Wilson" Fairchance, Penna. 1 1/2 Years Home Economics MINNIE MORTON WHITON "Minnie" Quincy, Mass. 2 Years Modern Language LILIAN FRANCES WRIGHT "Billie" Port Chester, N.Y. 2 Years Modern Language Credulity I used to be a doubter when I was young and wise, I used to look upon the world with unbelieving eyes, I said "This cannot happen," I said "That cannot be," I muttered, "That's impossible, as anyone can see" And then "This" went and happened, and "That" was gospel truth, And what I called "Impossible" was simple fact, in sooth, But still I didn't realize what should be plain to view, Most anything can happen, most everything is true! I scoffed at talk of miracles, and even while I'd scoff Before my much bewildered eyes the miracles came off; I quoted laws and precedents to prove things were absurd, And ever as I gabbled on those very things occurred, Somebody always put across the "wholly hopeless plan," Until it dawned upon me, as it may dawn on you, Most anything can happen, most everything is true! I'm open to conviction now, I'll hear the maddest pleas To prove the sun is made of gold, the moon of cheddar cheese; And even if I'm not convinced I hardly dare to doubt, For things I swear would never work are always working out, The world is full of wonderment, it's to deny; The heresy we stone today is gospel, by and by. My fond beliefs grow numerous, my doubts are getting few, Most anything can happen and most everything is true! The President's Speech MR. MAGILL, Faculty, Classmates, Fellow Students and Friends: Although we have thus far spent the week in joyful anticipation of departure, there is not one of us who does not realize that the time is at last here, when we must say goodbye. For some of us it will mean the last "good-bye," but for others more fortunate, a temporary farewell. We pause now to look back upon our ladder of life. Some have found the way difficult and a none too easy climb. The obstacles placed in our paths only serve to strengthen us and now we have a little firmer footing and seem a little surer of ourselves. We are all favored in being allowed to attend school here, and in being able to mingle with such dear friends and associates. Mr. Magill, to you the Class of Twenty-four is deeply indebted, because of your never-failing interest and aid during our school year. We bid you farewell with much regret. There is one whom we all love and whose motherly care has guided and helped us over the rough places. We must say good-bye to Mrs. Chambers, whose wonderful influence has aided us all during our year at Penn Hall. We shall look back upon her never failing interest with a warm heart. Miss Aitken, we want you to know that we thank you most sincerely for your friendly interest and wonderful help during our Senior year. We felt certain that you were the one to be our advisor and now we know it. Dear Teachers, each and every one who has tried to instill in us the knowledge of the true and best in us, we thank you most gratefully and we hope we can show you some reward for your labors. Class of '25, our "friendly enemies," you will soon be following in our footsteps. May you profit by our mistakes, and remember that always you have the best wishes and hopes for success of the Class of '25. Sophomores, you have indeed aided us and have proven yourselves loyal to your sister class. It is with sorrow we bid you farewell. School-mates, sadly do we separate from you. We shall miss your cheery and friendly presence helping to make life happier here at school. Members of the Class of 1924, we have spent many happy months together, some of the most delightful we shall ever know. We should not forget our friendships and we hope that in after years they will become stronger. This is not an occasion for tears and heartaches. Just remember to cheer people on life's way and you will be doing your duty to yourself and upholding the traditions of our class. Class of 24, - Farewell Last Will and Testament WE, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, being as nearly in our right minds as we ever shall be, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament in matter and form following: that is to say: After the payment of just debts, fines, dues and expenses, we give, devise and bequeath our remaining loose change (if any) discarded class effects, our honors and other miscellaneous junk as follows: To the Seniors of next year, we will and bequeath our dignity and position, together with our patience, which has been sorely tried.

Witnesses - General Nuisance. Private Affairs. Class Prophecy WHILE visiting Janey Canfield a short while ago, I learned that during her honeymoon in Atlantic City she had visited the world famous Kenilworth, and out of curiosity had had him tell her about her former classmates. It was a chilly afternoon of fall when she told me this, but we were cozily seated before an open fireplace, so I sank deeper into the pillows and prepared to hear with a great deal of pleasure what had become of the old class of 'twenty-four. Very appropriately, the first one mentioned was "Beeney" Anderson, our class president, who was in England shooting goals for the Olympic hockey team. I was not surprised to hear how famous she was, and how much praise she had already reaped for herself. With her was her sidekick "Polly", who was keeping up her reputation as a swimmer, and Esther Bell was with them showing those other athletes some real American diving. Next Kenilworth had said that "Gus" Vieweg, Aggie, Teddy, Ruth Barnhart, and Judy Fern were members of the Russian Cathedral Sextette. They were "en route by go-cart" with Becky Jacobs as their pianist, for whom a brilliant career had been predicted. Everyone was madly clamoring for them to sign contracts. Also in the music world were Louise Cooke, protegee of Carlos Salzedo, and Betty Van, who was giving violin concerts accompanied by a "fuzzy-headed" prodigy whom she tenderly called Harold. At this point in her story Janey got up and put on the "Heebee-Geebie Blues," played by the Ball sisters. It was very good, and we were reminded of the many times their victrola had shed cheer on the neighboring rooms. As I glanced at the table I noticed the futuristic novel, "The Soul of a Centipede," by the eccentric Elaine Ransom. Janey advised me to read it. While she was fixing a log in the fire-place, I picked up the paper from Little "Washie" and noticed that hostesses of W. and J. were none other than Hunter, Ibbie, Dot Craig, and Emile Gormley, who were forced to be contented with glaring enviously at the young girls who had so fittingly filled their places. Returning to the divan, Janey told me that in Atlantic City she had met Peg Logan and Izzie McCarty, who had been promoted to the position of slinging hash in Child's. From them she learned that Marie Andrew was back at Penn Hall as the dietitian. At this point Janey brought out a gorgeous gown she had recently purchased at Aileen Roger's exclusive shop under the Traymore. It was very distinctive, and I was glad to know that Aileen was so successful. Then Janey continued the story as Kenilworth had told her. Margarita Ashford, she said, had recently become the wife of the Spanish Consul to the United States. Mary Langworthy, a charming artist's model was making poses for Helen Floyd's new picture, "The Age of Innocence." Jim Lee Bell was designing costumes for Lucile, Ltd., and Frankie Cooke was displaying the gorgeous gowns for the benefit of Bill's adoring eyes. Deedie Melville was in the mail air service with Tom as her pilot. Skinny Thorn, her pal, was business manager of Dan's track and heart schedule. El Turton, I learned, had resorted to working in the Post Office in the hope of getting her mail sooner. Carolyne Shellenberger was working in a soda fountain, and was still drinking her delicious "Caddoo Crush". Rubye Jones had become a professional at posing as Minnehaha (hiding among the Indians at Carlisle). Successful in the business world was Alice Sinton, who was still exhibiting her ability, in being chief secretary to John D. Frequent patrons of the Strand movie house were Mattie Burdan, Trudy Baltz, and Virginia Keller whose perambulators could be seen most any afternoon outside the door. Janey told me that in Atlantic City she had gone to the Apollo Theatre to see Ruth Sutton and Louise Schneider in "Dr. Jekyll Where Did Mr. Hyde?" presented by the well known producer, Anna Gross. The music, she told me, was very clever, and was composed by Claire Schneider. During the intermission she heard a deep familiar voice booming "Page and Shaw's best assorted chocolates", and was pleased to recognize Hawkins, our cheer leader at old Penn Hail. While we were talking the afternoon mail had come, and in it was a letter to Janey from Hope Neefus telling of her thoroughbred, "Strongheart," the pride of her kennels, which she had recently made a gift to the President. And she said that a letter from her brother Firm told her that Minnie and Firm, Jr., were doing nicely! Another very suspicious-looking envelope was yet unopened, and Janey gave me permission to satisfy my curiosity. It was an announcement of Betty Speakman's wedding! That reminded Janey of a bit of scandal she'd heard; that at a great ball not so long ago a young English nobleman had admired Betty's dancing and almost as soon had begun to love her. Real romance ! I then asked Janey to continue with the news Kenilworth had told her. Kay Wadsworth, I was amused to hear, was trying valiantly to make the Senior basketball team at Wellesley. Janie Knappen was successfully advertising Wrigley's Spearmint. Hudson, still a reliable guard, was promoted to Sing-Sing. Darby was stationed at the "Tiffany" counter at Woolworth's, selling rings. And Peggy Coleman, I learned, was now head of the Missionary Conference at Blue Ridge. At Monte Carlo, Ruth Garden and Doris Eshelman were well known for their crap shooting. Anne Cole chose as her profession the role of Louise Fazenda in Mack Sennett Comedies. Lillian Diebold proved a promising student of Kosloff. Ruth Wilson and Vivian Liken were the competent interior decorators for Hoke and Eyster. A huge hit at the Rosedale Theatre had been Helen Lowe with one of Mr. Benschoff's famous Arabian ponies. Wilson College boasted of Irene Patterson as the teacher of "poise". In a side show at Barnum and Bailey's Circus was Moncure Brinckloe, hypnotizing people. Nell Thorn, one of Chalif's students, was appearing at the Russian Ballet. Connie Keppler, hoping to come upon the Seniors who had not yet paid their dues, was making a trip around the world. Frequently seen at the Ritz-Carlton was Billie Wright, still smoking her favorite "Luckies." Kay Lingenfelter had turned out to be a cowgirl, whose chief pleasure was in roping steers. At a diet school could be found Eleanor Snow, teacher of calorie counting. On display in the lounge of our Alma Mater were the beautiful embroideries and fancy linens of Pauline Starr. Mildred Haines was taking charge of the Mump ward at the Chambersburg Hospital. Just then we saw a very goodlooking roadster coming up the drive. It was Jean Hand, of course! We never could stop raving about that car of hers and her lovely home. In just a minute she had bursted into the room and without even giving us time to speak, she launched into the tale of some shopping she had to do. Well, we couldn't imagine why mere shopping should make her so excited, but then, you see, it was soft white flannel that she was going to buy, and yards of dainty lace! Our hair stood on end when she told us, but you can bet we jumped into the car and went shopping too! During our shopping tour we met Priscilla Paradis; and she told us that she was teaching violin lessons. But later we heard that "Pris" was one of the most famous teachers in town. After hearing all of this exciting news we continued our shopping. Overworked That much abused adjective "hectic,", The Flapper has grabbed for her own. To use in a manner electic To qualify everything known; She seems to have almost a passion For making it fit any noun, Or characterize every fashion Of person or party or gown. "I'm feeling just hectic this morning! That party was hectic last night! And the father, today, gave a warning That-well, it was hectic, all right! I've got a new gown - very "arty" Though awfully hectic in hue! That new man we met at the party Is hectic, I think, over you. Now here is the humor sardonic; Consult Mr. Webster, you'll glean, The knowledge that hectic means "chronic", Not "brilliant" or "vivid" or "keen." But who cares what books say about it? The Flapper does not, I aver, For hectic's her word, and she'll spout it Because it is chronic with her.

[photo] President, JEAN HAND Vice-President, CONSTANCE KEPPLER Secretary, EDITH MELVILLE Treasurer, CAROLINE DARBY Chairman of Social Service, ANN GROSS Chairman of Entertainment Committee, DOROTHY PHELPS The Y.W.C.A. THE purpose of our Y. W. C. A. in Penn Hall is to increase the devotion of the girls to the Christian Church and to the religious work of the institution. Shortly after the new officers were installed, a membership campaign was carried on between the old and new girls. In a short time the old girls had receive the majority of new members, showing the interest they had gained in the association at Penn Hall. At Thanksgiving we did as the Y. W. C. A. has done for many years. A number of needy families in the community were supplied with baskets of food. Our Christmas Bazaar was a great success this year. The Gym was decorated as a cabaret; many fancy articles were sold and fancy dances given. This attempt brought us about $200. Dr. Eliot, who has returned to America for a brief rest, spoke to us one morning about the Near East Relief. She gave us such vivid pictures and made us so interested that an unusual effort was put forth. This campaign brought us $200. We feel that there has been an increasing interest in Vespers this year. Solos and duets were often given, which were much appreciated. It is our intention to give a Mock Wedding sometime in the spring for the benefit of the association. We feel certain that it will be a success. We should like very much to send two or more girls to a summer Conference, as we know that time spent at such a Conference would be of great benefit to the officers of next year, to whom we wish every success possible. The Music Department THE music department has had the most successful year Penn Hall has ever known. Much interest has been shown by the students, who have studied in the different branches under the supervision of the music faculty, with Miss Laue at the head. The department this year has grown to over two hundred students in piano, harp, voice, violin and the theoretical subjects. Students' recitals have been given frequently. These recitals have helped greatly in acquiring ease and good stage deportment. There have also been a number of Faculty recitals, which were always a pleasure. The Conservatory Course has been expanded and developed into a very complete and thorough preparation for the entrance to a Conservatory. Next year a Junior Conservatory has been planned for the benefit of the graduates and for those who can qualify. An active factor in the musical life of Penn Hall was the Music Club. The club was organized only two years ago, but it has already become an important feature and a permanent organization. Miss Stanier was the president. On the last Wednesday of every month delightful teas were given in the joint studios of Miss Laue and Miss Stanier. A very attractive Colonial tea was given in February. The teachers and students on the program were dressed in old fashioned costumes. Last year John Barclay was the artist of the tea given in Atlantic City. This year we had the pleasure of hearing Frank Cuthbert, baritone, while at the shore. Miss Stanier had charge of the Glee Club, which consisted of all the voice students. Their frequent concerts given during the year were very successful and showed remarkable ability and talent. The Glee Club gave a very amusing operetta, "H. M. S. Pinafore." It was directed by Miss Stanier, with the assistance of Miss Haines, the expression instructor; Miss Baker, head of the art department, and Miss Parker, accompanist. It was a great success and showed that there was great talent and musical ability among the students. The Glee Club closed the year with a theatre party at the shore. Another musical organization which has developed is the Penn Hall Chorus. This chorus was made up of girls who were not vocal students, but who were interested and wished to do work of that type. The Chorus also gave an operetta, "Hiawatha's Childhood." It was produced by Miss Stanier and Miss Haines. The year was closed with a party at the shore. This year a new branch has been added to the music department - that of the harp - with Miss Elise Sorelle of the Salzedo Harp Ensemble as instructress. It is the first year Penn Hall has been able to offer such an opportunity for those, who wish to study the harp and it is indeed a privilege to have Miss Sorelle at the head. During the year we have had the pleasure of listening to artists of reputation. The "Impressario," Mozart's Opera Comique, was given in October. Hans Kindler appeared in his annual recital Thanksgiving night and gave his usual delightful program. A very enjoyable evening was spent in listening to the Russian Cathedral Sextette. For part of the entertainment the artists appeared in peasant costume and sang Russian songs. Miss Helena Marsh, assisted by Fred Brestol, sang some charming French, Italian and German numbers. The knowledge and appreciation of music is as necessary to a broad education as is academic learning. Mr. Magill and the Music Faculty have done everything in their power to improve and develop the musical appreciation of all the students, reaching those who are studying and those outside as well. Penn Hall is becoming prominent because of its Music Department and quickly making its way to the head of well known schools.

During their two years in the department they have played many and varied roles before the student body. In private lessons and class work they have completed a course consisting of : technique; pantomime, study of drama, and character delineation. Each Senior without assistance directed and staged a play of her own choice. In a joint recital in June, they appeared in "Mansions," by Hildegarde Flanner, a scene from "The School for Scandal," by Sheridan, and "Neighbors," by Zona Gale. The Juniors and Seniors appeared together in such plays as: "Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace," "Happiness," "Much Ado About Something," "Food," "Two Tempers," "Orchids," "In the Spring A Young Man's Fancy," "The Other Woman," and "Mrs. Temples' Telegram." Our talented instructress, Miss Haines, whose keen interest and untiring efforts have done wonders in making the course so complete, is always ready with her assistance and gives each of, her students individual help and attention. DRAMATIC CLUB [photo] Much interest has been shown this year in the Dramatic Club and it has proved beneficial to all of its members. The membership consisted of old members, students of the dramatic department, and a limited number of other students tried out and chosen according to their ability by judges selected from the club. The club was both social and dramatic. It met twice a month. At these meetings plays were read, acted, and directed by its members. After the program refreshments were served. This year for the first time the club gave a public performance, J. Hartley Manners' three-act comedy, "Peg 0' My Heart." Tryouts for the various parts determined the cast which was: Peg, Jean Hand Jerry, Lazette McCormick Mrs. Chichester, Mazie Howell Alaric, Ruth Sutton Montgomery Hawkes Dorothy Phelps Ethel, Ann Cole Christian Brent Constance Keppler Jarvis, Mary Moller Bennet, Doris Whiting The cast was ably directed by Anna Gross, who was assisted by: Business Manager, Imogene Bellmer Scene Designer, Alice Sinton Property Manager, Virginia Reynolds - R.
