In September, 1919, the portals of Chester High School were opened to witness the entrance of a large class of Freshmen - green as can be imagined.  By October the class was organized under Miss Reaney's supervision.  Officers elected were: Leroy Shackleton, president; Weston Stelle, vice-president; Margaret Spencer, secretary; Clyde Yarnall, treasurer.

As Freshmen, Twenty-three had only one member, Christopher Crook, prominent in football; but still there was hope for other activities.   Excellent material was presented for basketball and baseball, and due to this, we had successful teams.  One member, Francis McLaughlin, won the official "C" for track.  Our last undertaking was made socially, when our class entertained the public with the Schumann Glee Club from Philadelphia.

In September, 1920, we returned to Chester High as Sophomores, but more courageous than the previous year.  Officers elected for the ensuing year were: Weston Stelle, president; Margaret Howard, vice-president; Esther Howard, secretary; David Rosenblatt, treasurer.

This year we took a greater interest in school activities.   Christopher Crook, Morton Stowe and Crosby Black received the official "C" for football.  Donald Kriebel received the official "C" for basketball, and Samuel Warren also one for baseball.  The class had both a girls' and a boys' basketball team.  Twenty-three took an interest in social events and held two successful class parties this year.

The next year, 1921, we returned as great big Juniors to dear Chester High.  To lead us through this dangerous year, we elected the following officers: Clyde Rothfuss, president; Ella Lee, vice-president; Freda Garrison, secretary; Harold Lloyd, treasurer.

As Juniors, we had both a boys' and a girls' debating team.  This year the class held the customary Junior dance, which was a great success.  Next, we received our class rings after many lively discussions as to design.

In athletics such men as Crook, Stowe and Mullen proved bright lights in football; many others aided the team as subs.  Hanley, Kriebel and Crook rendered great service to the basketball team.  Warren and Mullen played on the major baseball team.  The girls had a basketball team, of which many members also cooperated with the major team.

Socially we took our stand and held an enjoyable class party in the cafeteria.  We must also remember the Junior Recital of the Purple and Gold, which was one of our greatest tasks of the Junior year.

On the ninth of September, 1922, we returned to Chester High, not as green Freshmen, bold Sophomores, daring Juniors, but as dignified Seniors, loyal and bound to do or die for our Alma Mater.  The officers elected to guide us through this treacherous sea were: Oliver Robinson, president; Mildred Connell, vice-president; Mary McCloskey, secretary; Thomas Mangan and Harold Lloyd, treasurers.

The first brilliant affair conducted as Seniors was our reception to the Freshmen on November third.  At this event, members of the class gave a play entitled "Cousin Julia's Jade Earring," which was greatly enjoyed.   Our second event in the social arena was the Victory dance held on November eleventh, in Library Hall.

Members of the class proved themselves worthy in the debating team, and therefore debated in public.  The girls' team was composed of: Elizabeth Mirkil, captain; Mary Brown and Mary McCloskey, associates, and Elizabeth Miller, alternate.  Members of the boys' team were: Minter Norton, captain; Scott Schiller and Oliver Robinson, associates, and Harold Lloyd, alternate.  At this writing the girls' team has won the public debate.

Our class, ever in the athletic world, possessed members of ability.  Such men as Captain Crook, Morton Stowe, Jack Thompson, Arthur Mergy, manager, received the official "C" for football.

John Hanley, Samuel Warren, Christopher Crook and Manager Stowe aided the major basketball team.  On the girls' major team Ella Lee, captain; Dorothy Smith and Lydia Newsome proved bright lights.  Many Senior girls also acted as subs for the team.  Mildred Connell was manager of the major basketball team and worked faithfully.

At the time of this writing, we are looking forward to a trip to Washington, a Class Day, and above all, a Commencement Day, which shall be our greatest joy.  This will complete a four years' course, which has been profitably and happily spent.  It is with regret that we leave Chester High as students, but in our memories our Alma Mater shall ever dwell.
