NARBERTHITES PLAY IMPORTANTPARTS IN AD MEN’S CONVENTION

President Durbin Leads Host of Live Wires And Is Assisted By Many of His Neighbors

Beginning next Sunday, and con­tinuing for one week, Philadelphia entertains the world’s largest busi­ness convention—that of the Associ­ated Advertising Clubs of the World.

Narberth is the home town of Mr. R. H. Durbin, president of the Poor Richard Club (which acts a s the host club to the 10,000 men and wo­men who will come from all corners of the continent to swap ideas), and Narberth is also the home of many of the live-wire members and asso­ciates of Poor Richard, who include Messrs. Edgar S. Taylor, Roy E. Clark, H. C. Gara, W. A rthur Cole and W. F . H aist as members and Messrs. W alter Brown, F rank J. Wisse, J. Howard Jefferies, S. T. Zooks, Chas. Verna, E. A. Muschamp and Robert Durbin as associates.

Mr. W. H. Cohic, chief passenger car distributor of Pennsylvania R. R., and another resident of Narberth, hasbeen delegated by his company to plan and supervise the twenty-eight signal men who will assist in direct­ing the movements of the mammoth pageant on Broad street on Monday night, June 26. This is the first big parade that has been conducted by automatic signals controlled from a central point, and Mr. Cohic is to be congratulated upon being selected as t he organizer of a method that is bound to revolutionize present meth- ods of direction if the system works on this occasion—and tests thus far made promise entire success.

Mr. Frank J. Wisse, secretary of our Civic Association, is in charge of press arrangem ents for Monday night.

Mr. H. C. Gara is serving on com­mittee in charge of buildings and grounds and on committee in charge of speakers for churches, it being the unique practice to open th is great convention on Sunday with sermons in many churches by laymen and clergymen who ta lk on the relation of business ethics and the teachings of the church. I t is the usual thing to have some of the country’s great­est preachers as speakers in the pul­pits on the opening Sunday.Lay Sermon in N arberth by Ad.

Club LeaderIt is expected tha t N arberth will

have the pleasure of listening to a lay sermon by Mr. Jam es MacMar- tin, of Minneapolis, who is one of the powerful personalities th a t lead and inspire this big educational move­ment. If he arrives in Philadelphia in time, lie will be the speaker a t the Union meeting a t the Methodist Church, Sunday evening, June 25.

Mr. W. A rthur Cole is serving on committee which is preparing the “Poor Richard Dictionary,’’ a unique guide book given to each delegate who registers, on the committee in

charge of printing, on the committee in charge of the national exhibit of j advertising literature and on the re- j ception committee which meets all delegations as they arrive, escorts all | dignitaries and supervises grand­stands on the evenings of the three big, spectacular events. Mr. Cole also is to read a paper before the Graphic Arts Departmental on Tuesday afte r­noon.

Mr. Roy E. Clark has charge of the “reta il’’ division in the big ex­hibit which will be staged in Hous­ton Hall a t the U. of P.

This convention was brought to Philadelphia largely as a resu lt of the work of our townsman, Mr. Dur­bin, whose able executive direction and eloquent and thorough presenta- tion of Philadelphia's claims as the convention city at Chicago last year,defeated all other contenders to a standstill, Philadelphia being unani­mously elected the 1916 convention city on the first ballot. Mr. Durbin has worked day and night during the year that has ensued—and the pro­digious amount of detail has been carefully woven into a perfected plan because ot the foresight of Mr. Durbin in the selection of his lieu- tenants—the members of the conven- tion committee.

i No convention of the Ad Clubs has been in such a state of readiness as is that to sta rt in Philadelphia next week. The delegates might have be­gun their influx ten days ago just as well as on next Sunday. The Poor Richard Club had all meeting places arranged for even before they sought the honor of being hosts to the Ad Clubs and their entertainm ent plans have been perfected for months. Many of the twenty-nine different departmentals of this convention are as large numerically as the average convention.

Many N arberthites have manifested their desire to register as participants in the meetings of this great busi­ness school and as observers of the big, spectacular events. The privi­lege is open to men and women and costs $2.50 each person. Registration may be made a t the Bellevue-Strat- ford Hotel or a t Houston Hall, U. of P., beginning Saturday, June 24.

POOR RICHARD WOMEN­FOLK ALSO BUSY

The wives and other womenfolk of the households of members of the Poor Richard Club will be as busy as the men. They will act as hostesses to the women who accom­pany the various clubs. I t is expect­ed tha t there will he about two thou sand out-of-town women who are to he entertained each day and evening during the stay of the Ad Men in Philadelphia.

Lay Sermon by a Famed Advertising Man—Methodist Church Union

Meeting.N early ten thousand men and

women from many parts of the world meet in Philadelphia next week to consider the ethics of business and to help establish new standards for its practice.

These folk are earnest men and women who are try ing their best to apply the practice of practical Chris­tianity to the world of commerce—and they have made much progress in the decade of their career.

To s ta rt its week of proceedings with sermons in the churches of the convention city is one of the unique things introduced by these advertis-ing folk, and N arberth is honored by being the only suburb to have a lay j preacher this year.

Mr. J a mes MacMartin, president of MacMartin Advertising. Service, Min­neapolis, Minn., has consented to come to Narberth to give a lay se r­mon Sunday evening, June 25, a t the union service at t he Methodist Church.

Mr. MacMartin is one of the big personalities behind this movement and will be well worth hearing.

Every loyal citizen of N arberth should at tend th is union meeting as a personal tribute to the president of the Poor Richard Club, Mr. R. H. D ur­bin, who is one of our fellow tow ns­men and who heads the local a rmy of hosts to the members of this main- moth educational force.

mittee. A whole day of fun for the kiddies and grown-ups, too.A big brass band is ours for the day.A wonderful display of fireworks on the ball field in the

EVANS’ SINGLE IN TENTH INNING BEATS NARBERTH

Berwyn Downs Narberthites, 3-3—Ensinger and Lewis in P i t c h e r s ’ Battle—Fleck’s Throw in Ninth Staves Off De­feat For An Inning

It required ten innings for Berwyn to down the Boroughites a t Berwyn Saturday. To s ta rt the tenth inning. Flick Stites poked Kelly in the ribs, and he stole second, and advanced to third on L. Davis’ fly to centre field, and scored the deciding run of the game, when Joe Evans banged out a single over Mellon’s head.

It was evident from the s ta rt of the game, tha t it was going to be a pitchers’ battle, between Ensinger and Lewis. Our own Ed. stood the pace until the ninth inning, when the first three hit safely, and during the ex­citement, Lewis was run down be­tween third and home.Fleck’s Throw Makes Game Go E xtra

Inning.E. Hayman, the fast flying centre

gardener of Berwyn, flew out to Fleck, and McLees tried to score, but Fleck’s throw beat him to it, com­pleting a fast double play.

Berwyn scored the first run of the game in the fourth inning, when En­singer passed three men in succes­sion, filling the bags; Hayman then scored the ir first and only run of that inning, when Evans was safe on Walter Hum phries error. Ensinger then fanned L. Davis, and caused G. Hayman to fly out to Colwyn Hum­phreys and Lewis grounded out to Davis on first.

Berwyn then made the count and none when in the sixth inning they tallied their second run of the game, Kelly singled, hut was forced out a t second by Watson, who immediately stole second, and scored on L. Davis’ single.

Narberth Evens Up the Score.It was then the seventh inning and

things looked badly for Narberth, but things turned about and Fleck and Gene Davis both singled, and Davis stole second, but F leck was held on third. Gilmore then scored Fleck on his fly to Evans in righ t field, which, by the way, was a very close play.

Colwyn Humphreys then did the unexpected, when w ith two strikes, he cracked out a single over W at­son’s head. Colwyn, however, was put out of the game for disputing the umpire’s decision when trying to steal second, necessitating Charlie Hum­phreys to finish out the game as catcher.

With two out in the tenth inning, Bill Simpson singled, and the faithful rooters w ere howling for W alter Humphreys to clout one, but he was out via 6-3—shortstop to first.

Then Berwyn scored the winning

OLD-TIME RESIDENTVISITS NARBERTH

Perhaps one of the oldest form er residents of this section now living is Mr. Adolphus Edler, of Millville, N. J. Mr. Edler was in N arberth re ­cently and one of the reporters for “Our Town” had the pleasure of an interview with him. More than fifty years ago Mr. Edler lived in the house now occupied by John A. Mowrer at Montgomery and Woodbine avenues. At th a t time the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, which was a n a r ­row gauge track built with rails laid upon square stones, many of which are still in evidence w ithin the limits of Narberth, ran directly through the orchard which belonged to the prop­erty occupied by Mr. Edler. Many times, the old gentleman said, he would stand by the tracks with a basket or pan of apples and hand them to the passengers as the trains went by. He was asked if the tra in s did not go too fast, and replied th a t the fast line traveled about as rapidly as he could run, and it was not diffi­cu lt to band apples to the passengers on the accommodations.

The building occupied by Mr. John R. Kernan at the corner of Essex and Montgomery avenues, was at th a t time a station, the name of which was Libertyville. The engines on th is interesting railroad were all named for certain prom inent persons, so that in speaking of the arrival of a train, they would usually say, “How soon will he Bill Jones be due?” When desiring to stop one of these “fliers,” the engineer or brakem an would put h is foot on an iron rod which extended down to the track . By pressing his whole weight on th is brake, he would he able to bring the train to a stop a t short notice.

We hope on some future occasion to have Mr. Edler come to N arberth and tell our citiezns about the in te r ­esting days when he was a resident of this place.

SOME RELIGIOUS BEGINNINGS IN NARBERTH

Dear Editor:I have been repeatedly requested

to furnish in some perm anent form, the historical data presented during the celebration of our twenty-fifth anniversary. In compliance with that request I venture to send you some ex tracts from my historical address delivered on the morning of June 4,in t he hope th a t it may be of in ter­est to your large circle of readers and also afford an opportunity for those who so desire, to preserve these historical facts.

Sincerely yours,John Van Ness,

P asto r of the N arberth P r esbyterian Church.

Historical Address On the evening of June 2, 1891, the

N arberth Presbyterian Church was organized—just twenty-five years ago la st Friday night. It might seem to some an event of such re ­cent origin would hardly demand a celebration. Ours is one of the youngest churches in the Presbytery. We have erected our building alm ost w ithin the shadow of an old Quaker Meeting House whose antiquity is m ore than two hundred years greater than ours. But still we will do well to pause and reflect upon t he pass­ing of the first quarter of a century of our church life. I t is m ore than likely that m any who are here this m orning will not have the privilege of celebrating th e passing of another twenty-five years, although th e re are som e of these little ones who may

PYLE—LATCH WEDDING.

A very pretty wedding was solemn­ized last Wednesday afternoon a t the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Latch, Hagy’s Ford road, east of Nar- berth, when their daughter, Eva G. Latch, was m arried to Mr. Ellwood Baker Pyle, of Phoenixville, Pa. The ceremony took place on the spacious veranda in a nook embowered with mountain laurel. The bride looked very charming, beneath the folds of her bridal veil. She was attended by her sister, Miss Emma Latch, while another sister, Miss Anna Latch, played the wedding march. The best man was Mr. George Klenk. The cere­mony was performed by the Rev. John Van Ness, pastor of the Narberth Presbyterian Church. A wedding dinner followed, served under th e shade trees of the lawn. A large company of relatives and invited guests were present.

J. A. MILLER SECURES MORE COMMODIOUS QUARTERS

Our enterprising roofer and tin- smith, J.A. Miller, has removed from his former place of business on Forest avenue to w hat is known as the old fire house building, 246 Haverford avenue. This will give Mr. Miller an oppotunity to develop, as his b u s i- ness had greatly outgrown the former location.

Jam es R. Cole, painting contractor, has also established an office and shop a t 248 Haverford avenue. Both of these young men have established themselves firmly in business in our town. The fact th a t they are com­pelled to seek larger quarters is suffi­cient evidence of this.

POST OFFICE NOTES.Box rents for the quarter ending

September 30th will be payable be­tween the 20th and last day of June. Every box in the post office is rented, and there is a waiting list of more than a dozen applicants.

There has been received a t the Nar­berth Post Office a bulletin from the Department of Labor a t Washington, containing a call for 30,000 to 40,000 men to help harvest the crops in Kansas. The ra te of wages range from $2.00 to $6.00 per day. Bulletin is posted in the lobby.

EMERGENCY PHONE CALLS F ire 350.Police 1250.

Our attention has been called to the fact th a t some person or persons have wantonly mutilated one of the finest trees in Narbrook Park, by cut­ting out a large piece of the bark. We cannot too strongly condemn such acts of vandalism, and tru s t the of­fenders will be strictly held to ac­count. Efforts are being made by the Park Development Committee to find out who the offenders are, and we be­lieve it is the ir intention to offer a reward for the a rres t and conviction of anybody who trespasses in this manner, e ither on any of the lots held in private ownership, or on that part of tbe tra c t held for the public. In this particu lar instance, the damage may have been done thought­lessly by children; in any event, it must be understood tha t any further destruction of this kind will be punished.

The stereotyped phrase, “Every one present had an enjoyable time and voted the affair a big success,” is often used when it is only half or less true, but the old-fashioned com­plimentary w rite-up never fitted an affair better than it does the com­mencement exercises of the N arberth High School of 1916.

The invocation was delivered by the Rev. Andrew S. Burke.

There were three good songs by the Girls’ Chorus, and one by the Senior G irls’ Quartette, a ll acceptably rendered.

Commencement addresses are often rather labored affairs, and of a char­acter, it m ust be confessed, th a t are not especially interesting to an audience, but our old friend, the Rev. Dr. Abbott, now of Albany, N. Y., who by a happy thought was invited by the graduating class to speak to it, proved th a t an address of th is kind can be made interesting and educa­tional to any listener. I t is not too much to say tha t Dr. Abbott’s talk, the subject of which w’as “The Three Grades of Thinking,” and delivered in the m asterly fashion of which Dr. Abbott is capable, kept all the audience deeply interested, word for word, sentence for sentence, from the beginning to the end—in fact, like all good things, it seemed much too short. It is unfortunate that the ad­dress cannot be printed here verbatim for the sake of those who were pre­vented from hearing it. Suffice to say, it was a classic and most peculiarly appropriate to the occasion.

The short ta lks given by Mr. Mc­Carter, P resident of the Board; Mr. Melchior, the Principal, and Mr. Downes, one of the Directors, were well chosen and well delivered.

A feature th a t deserves special mention is the little speech made by the Class President, Carroll Downes, in which he surprised the Board of Directors by presenting the la tte r with a check for $100, the gift of the Class of 1916, to be used toward fu r­nishing equipm ent for the physics class. The speech itself is w orthy of a great deal more than passing m en­tion. Carroll goes to Dartm outh in the fall, and some day may be a g reat

lawyer. Surely there is no apparen t reason why he should not he. He cer­tainly has a big s ta rt on h is pro­spective fellow-students when it comes to m aking a speech with all the word “speech” implies.

N arberth may rest content th a t it has a high school to be proud of. T hat is an indisputable assertion and m ight be contradicted only by those not fam iliar with the true situation. The class graduating on the 16th is the largest senior class in the h is­tory of the school. Proof is not lack­ing th a t if any one of our g raduates is not properly equipped to en ter any college in the land, it is positively not the fault of the school. No col­lege entrance examinations a re more difficult to pass than those of Bryn Mawr. Two of our 1916 class, Jean Justice and Agnes Rose, have taken these examinations successfully and with no special preparation.

Now as to how the graduates were dressed. Well, the girls swore—at least the girls wore some light th in g s ' that looked like wedding garm ents, j but for further details, please refer |to one of the lady editors.

W hile definite plans have not been made in all cases, our graduates will pursue their studies in various col­leges, conservatories, etc., depending upon the career each has mapped out for him self or herself.

The Honor Roll is as follows:President, Carroll Downes, J r .Vice-President, Jean G. Justice.Secretary, Alice H. Smedley.T reasurer, Agnes M. Rose.Marion F. Haws.Madeleine V. McCoy.Augusta B. Witherow.J. Estelle Cohic.Marion E. Trotter.Chas. H. McCarter, Jr.F ranklin J. Foster.Narberth, you may well be proud of

your school. You will have occasion to also be proud of the children you send there, but see to it th a t a s thetown grows, the school facilities are increased correspondingly.

There was just one fly in the o int­m ent on Friday evening—the w eath ­er—but as everything else was m ark ­ed 100 per cent., we will let it go a t that, and forget the long w alk up the hill in a driving rain storm.

Senior DanceThe week’s exercises were brought

to a fitting close by tlie Senior Dance on Saturday night a t Elm Hall.

It was a trea t to the uninvited to take a peep a t the dancers. R ight here the question of clothes crops up, but as our lady editors a re not w rit­ing this, a mere m an’s description of the dress proposition will have to suffice, but even so, mere m an knows enough of the subject to say definitely that the array of gowns was s tu n ­ning. Ju s t paste this in your ha t— our girls know how to dress and need no coaching from anybody. Of course, they have one great advan­tage, in that they are such a good­looking bunch th a t anything they may happen to w ear looks beautiful. When it comes to dad's pocketbook— but le t tha t pass.

The dance started a t S.30 and stop­ped a t 11.59. A m ighty good natured and overworked orchestra responded to all encores, and tha t means th a t there were few chances to re s t be­tween dances. The whole affair was refined and very enjoyable and quite on a par with the previous successful functions, of the week.

The Class of 1916 may be heartily congratulated on the very happy “send off” given it. N arberth’s best wishes for a bright and happy fu tu re go with each graduate. They a re a credit to "The- Year Round Home Town.”

UNION TWILIGHT SERVICEThe regular Union Twilight services

will be held as usual in July and August, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association.

P lans are already under way and it is hoped tha t in terest in these m eet­ings will be greater than ever.

Owing to a recent real es ta te deal the lo t a t the corner of W indsor and F orrest avenues, our usual m eeting place, has been sold. However, we have been exceedingly fortunate to secure a place which in some respects is better. Mr. W. D. Smedley, who has purchased the Justice property on North N arberth avenue, has w il­lingly granted us the use of th a t lot and house for our meetings. W atch for la te r announcements.

WHAT’S HAPPENED TOTHE COLLECTORS OF ASHESl

To the Editor of Our Town:Christopher Columbus, it is assum ­

ed, discovered Am erica in 1492. Can any of our esteemed citizens, with occult powers prognosticate when the ash collecting brigade of Narberth will be discovered gathering ashes in our classic precinct? I t is alm ost five weeks since the last collection and no signs indicate they will be gathered a t an early day. The only favor, outside of paying taxes, a g reat many of our citizens have been g ran t­ed is the collection of ashes. For goodness sake do not take tha t priv­ilege way of the citizens m ight is­sue a “Declaration of Independence” of their own.

As a num ber of our citizens still persist in carrying ashes from their cellars, the ir trim lawns are “beauti­fully” decorated with old boxes, tin cans, etc., which beyond a doubt do not add to the beauty of this pretty litle town. Besides, these recepta­cles are the breeding-places for mos­quitoes, and as th is up-to-date bor­ough has declared a w ar of exterm in­ation on the pesky insects it behooves the borough officials to ac t promptly in the m atte r and insist on the regu­lar two weeks’ collection in summer,

j By the way, the pile of ashes ac- j cum ulating in the rea r of the fire I house w ere prom ptly removed by the I energetic attendants, but the collec- : tion of slops, refuse, etc., on the Y. M. C. A. property is a disgrace to the town, a menace to health and a source of annoyance to the neighbor­hood. Why not be public-spirited and follow the example of the fire house attendant? Cannot the Board of H ealth take action? Get busy. Clean up!

(Continued from F irs t Page)

ta rry to participate in the centennial celebration of this church.

I also remind you that the first twenty-five years in the life of a church are exceedingly im portant years. Especially is this true in a community as young and as change­able as is this one. This church is one of the oldest things in N arberth ; in fact, it is older than N arberth it­self, for the little village th a t clus­tered around the little railw ay sta ­tion called Elm, twenty-five years ago, did not receive officially the name of N arberth until some tim e af­ter this church was organized.

Within w hat is now the corporate lim its of N arberth, this was the first church to he organized. Previous to tha t time there had been religious m eetings held in private homes and

I elsewhere. A Sunday school had I been started in the dwelling house 1 now occupied by Mr. Bowman, on I Elmwood avenue. M inisters also from various denominations came a t times and conducted public worship in the same hous«. This continued for a year or so when it was thought best by many th a t a regularly organ­ized church should be established. And so those inclined toward the Presbyterian faith s e n t . a petition to the Presbytery of Philadelphia, north, for the appointm ent of a committee for the purpose of organizing a Presby­terian church. This committee was duly appointed and consisted of Gen. Louis Wagner, Rev. J. E. W right, D.D., Rev. E. J. Levingood, W illiam H. Scott, J. C. McCurdy and Rev. C. R. Erdm an. This committee m et a t the home of Mr. Charles E. K ream er at Elm Station on Tuesday evening, June 2, 1891. Dr. W right presided, and Mr. Erdm an, of the Overbrook Church, acted as clerk of the m eet­ing. The petition was read and after full discussion the request was granted and the organization was ef­fected. The following nine persons were received as the charter members of the new church, the first two of whom are still mem bers: Mrs. Anna M. Owens, Mrs. William W right, Mr. and Mrs. Freem an S. Belcher, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Yardley and the Misses Blanche and Grace Yardley, and Miss L aura E. Smith. Messrs. Belcher and Yardley w ere elected Ruling Elders, and Mr. Erdm an was appointed M oderator of the Session. The following w ere elected tru stees: J. Alexander Simpson, Charles E. Kreamer, Joseph Mullineaux, Jr., F. S. Belcher and Edward Forsythe. It is indicative of the liberal sp irit m ani­fested by other denom inations tow ard this new horn church, th a t only one of the members of the Board of T ru s­tees was a Presbyterian.

During the autum n of th a t sam e year a modest church building was completed a t the corner of W indsor and Grayling avenues, and was dedi­cated with appropriate ceremonies on November ceremonies on November 24, 1891. The sermon of th a t occa­sion was delivered by Rev. Charles Wood, D. D., of Germantown. Others who participated in the exercises were: Dr. Patton, of W ayne; Dr.Miller, of Bryn Mawr; Rev. C. R. Erdm an, of Overbrook, and Rev. Thomas C. T rotter, and Rev. P. L. Jones, of N arberth.

On November 7, 1892, Rev. W. Y. Brown, D. D„ w as called as pastor and was duly installed on F ebruary 11, 1894.

In the ea rly m orning of Saturday, January 11, 1896, a d isastrous fire completely destroyed the church building. T hat sam e evening i t w as decided to erect a tem porary chapel and within less than a week, the building was erected and occupied the following Sunday. T hat Sunday m orning a t a m eeting of the Session the following in teresting resolutions w ere recorded: “The Session records w ith deep sorrow , yet w ith hum ble submission to Divine Providence, the destruction by fire of our beautifu l chapel, and all its contents a t about 3.30 o’clock on th e m orning of Jan ­

uary 11, 1896. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss is estim ated a t about $6000, on which the re was an insurance of $5000. The Session further records its gratitude th a t on the m orning of the fire the Methodist Church, through Mr. C. E. K ream er, president of the Board of Trustees, and the B aptist Church, through Rev, Harold Kennedy, its pastor, tendered to our church the privilege of shar­ing with them the us® of their church edifice a t such times as m ight be agreeable to us. We re tu rn our pro- loundest thanks to these dear brethren for thieir expression of sym­pathy and love in this hour of loss and affliction. I t is w ith profound thankfulness tha t the Session is per­mitted to s ta te also, th a t on S atu r­day evening, January 11, a t an in ­formal conference with th e Board of Trustees, and some m embers of the congregation, it was determ ined to build a tem porary place of worship on one side of our own church lots, to be used by the congregation, pend­ing the rebuilding of our chapel—th a t Mr. John K. Ketcham was directed to procede with the erection of a tem ­porary fram e building 20 x 40 feet, boarded and double lined w ith telt paper, and th a t he has completed it within the space of five days and that to-day we are perm itted to oc­cupy it and to resum e all the stated means of grace. For all of which we thank God and take courage.

(Signed)Freeman F. Belcher,

Clerk.

That tem porary chapel w as used for nearly two years and then re ­moved to Cook’s Coal Yard, w here it now stands used as a storage build­ing. A t presen t the only churchly thing about it is the colored glass windows in the gable ends.

Dr. Brown closed his pastorate in June, 1896, and a t a Congregational meeting held the following November, Rev. Loyal L. Graham, Jr., w as called to the. pastorate. Mr. Graham ac­cepted the call and was ordained and installed on December 22, 1896. The sermon on th a t occasion was delivered by Dr. Alexander Henry, the charge to the pastor was given by his father, Dr. L. Y. Graham, and the charge to the people by Rev. C. R. Erdm an.

On January 28, 1897, the corner­stone of the present church building was laid with appropriate ceremonies and the building was completed by the following autum n, when the open­ing service was held Septem ber 9, 1897. In the meantime the Sunday School had been keeping pace w ith the growing church. There is no record of the beginning of the school, but in April, 1894, the school is reported as having fifty-three members. Among those who acted as superintendents in those early days of the life of the Sunday School were Mr. Samuel Mc- Conaughy, Mr. R ichard W allace, Mr. J. George Bucher, Mr. E. S. H aw s and Mr. Loder. In November, 1904, Mr. Haws was elected treasu rer and has continued in th a t office up to the present time. At th a t time the fol­lowing teachers were in the school:

Dr. J. Berg Esenwein, Mr. W. D. Ross, Mr. C. N. Beddall, Mr. J. G. Bucher, Mrs Mary E. Marcelle, Miss Florence B. Ketcham, Miss Elizabeth Shaml, Miss M arguerite K irk and Miss F lorence Kirk. Mrs. E. S. Haws was placed in charge of the prim ary departm ent in 1904, and has been the efficient superintendent of th a t de­partm ent ever since. On June 18, 1905, the Session elected, as superin ­tendent of the school Mr. R. L. Beat­ty, who has served in th a t capacity up to the present time, and to his wise adm inistration is due m uch of the success of the school. Mr. G ra­ham resigned as pastor in June, 1910, in order to accept a call to the F irs t P resbyterian Church of R ah­way, N. J. The following October tlie congregation issued a call to the Rev. John Van Ness, of Germantown. This call was accepted and Mr. Van Ness was installed as pastor Novem­ber 16, 1910, which pleasant rela tion ­ship has continued up to the present time.

This in briefest outline is the story of the beginnings of th is im portan t work. As in the days gone by, so may it be in the days th a t are to come, and even w ith m ore em phasis, th a t the N arberth P resbyterian Church may stand out In this com munity as a Beacon Light, shining for T ru th and Righteousness, and lighting up the pathway of the Kingdom of God.

"CAMP TOHICKON”The following item concerning the

life of Tohickon will doubtless be of considerable interest:

As far as possible, the small group idea or family unit is the standard for classification. Each ten t accom­modates seven boys and an adult lead­er and this same grouping is carried throughout the round of daily activi­

ideal is constructive, and every effort is made to secure men who will up­hold this ideal. W ith few exceptions, they are recruited from the schools and colleges near Philadelphia.

The diciplining of the camp is not too strict, but does insist upon the ob­servance of a few regulations th a t are for the camper’s safety and enjoy­ment. Every boy is expected to act as a gentleman and is on his honor. The use of tobacco in all forms is

This a r ­rangem ent enables the grouping of boys of like age and secures a close supervision, as well as helpful influ­ences through contacts with picked men of strong personality. Parents need not fear to place their sons un­der Tohickon influence, for the camp

NARBERTH, PA .-O U R T O W N -JU NE 22 1916.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK A GREAT SUCCESSEvery Day Brought Something Worth While—School Spirit Ran High—Did You Miss It?

It’s All Over Now But the Memory of a Happy WeekYes, vacation is here for the throng

of hoys and girls who have found joy and hard work interm ingled on “The H ill” for the past ten months. Tired, hut enthusiastic teachers have bidden farewell to N arberth for several m onths’ sojourn in their homes. The principal and secretary alone rem ain, engaged in office work.

The prosperous school year was brought to a close by a week of school activities th a t shall long live in the minds of those who had the pleasure of being associated directly or indirectly with the school.

Baccalaureate Exercises.Commencement week was ushered

in by the baccalaureate service, held in All Saints’ Episcopal Church on Sunday evening, June 11th. The ser­mon was preached by the Rev. Andrew S. Burke, who took for his text, Rom. xii, 11, “Not slothful in business, fer­vent in spirit, serving the Lord.”

The sermon was practical and im­pressive. The class, faculty, Board of Education and friends who packed the church felt the hour to have been one deep with significance.

Field Day.N arberth School field day was the

attraction on Tuesday afternoon. The day was ideal and hundreds of parents and friends turned out to participate in the exercises of a gala day on Shand field. The little to ts’ races a l­ways are a feature of keen interest to the mothers. They were not disap­pointed at the pretty sight of the little white clad racers as they sprinted across the new smooth field.

Much credit is due Carroll Downes, Jr„ chairm an of the committee of arrangem ents, and to the junior class which had charge of the refreshm ents. The gross receipts were $39.48.

A full account of the field meet with events and w inners is published elsewhere in this issue as is also a full account of class day and com­mencement.

Alumni Night—Second Annual Alumni Reunion,

This was the evening th a t brought to the school the old students. It was Tuesday and Cupid did not in ­terfere, but ra th e r aided in getting out all the “singles.” Of course, the m arried members were all there.

After a private business meeting held in the office, a t which time Miss Ruth P rescott was elected to succeed Mr. Paul C arter as president, the members of the association adjourned to assembly hall, where an audience awaited the program of the evening.

Needless to say, school sp irit ran high. The school yells and song greeted P resident Carter, Speaker K ratz and P resident of Board of Edu­cation McCarter as they passed to the platform. A fter brief words of g reet­ing by the president of the associa­tion, Mr. C arter responded in words of appreciation of what the associa­tion is doing, and urged a continuance of the work. He pointed out some things that the association m ight do to help the school.

The speaker of the evening was Maxwell Kratz, Esq., of Philadelphia an alumnus of Princeton. He was perfectly a t home in an alum ni m eet­ing and his delivery and sacred ad­vice and words of encouragem ent and congratulation won for him the adm ir­ation of the audience.

He strongly emphasized the need of play grounds and athletic activities, of adequate equipment and room, and urged the members of the association to do their p art in influencing citizens to support advancement. He said he spoke authoritatively when he said "The next ten years will not find school worth while that does not have adequate grounds adjoining th buildings.”

The alumni history, w ritten by Miss Prescott and read by Miss Mary Mc­Carter, was indeed interesting. It put the audience in touch with every member of the association. (A card index in the school office keeps the school in close touch with the mem­bers.)

W atson Owings did not fail to “de­liver the goods” to the seniors in his advice to them prior to their “taking the degree.’’ Each member of the Class of ’16 had to come to the p la t­form and face the audience. They were “perm itted” to remain close to

Watson, bu t many “p referred” to get j to the far end of the platform . j

A sho rt sketch by Carroll Downes, Jr., and Ruth P resco tt brought the program to a close.

The alum ni roll, by classes, was re ­sponded to by the old class yells. This was an in teresting feature.

Vocal selections by members of the association which interspersed the other num bers added greatly to the success of the happy hour.

A fter outbursts of school and class yells, the audience enjoyed refresh ­ments and a social hour.

Promotion Exercises. W ednesday m orning m arked another

m ilestone for 375 boys and girls. Pupils m easure life not so much in term s of years, as in term s of “grade.” This was promotion day and eager faces turned toward the principal, who held in his hand long rolls of "prom otions.”

The first grade was first called. W hat an applause bu rst forth from the student body! Everybody realized this was the last tim e the little ones of the first grade should please them with the ir happy faces and splendid reciting as “first g raders.” The prin ­cipal seemed to realize this more than any one. He has always shown a particu la r love for the wee tots. At the call of each individual’s name, one afte r the other arose am idst hearty applause. The grade then quoted appropriate lines from Lowell’s j Vision of Sir Launfal and passed into the m ysteries of second gradehood.

As promotions continued on up through the grades, here and there there was a disappointm ent, b u t Mr. Melchoir tried to save feelings where possible. Of course, no reference was made to those not promoted.

The exercises were closed with the beautiful little p rayer of the grade now dubbed second.

Class Day.The exercises on Thursday afte r­

noon w ere a big draw ing card. No one was disappointed. An hour in length and full of spice was the pro­gram. Humor bu t no wit, roasting but not singeing added to the in ­terest.

The faculty m em bers say they are all the w iser for the advice given them. I t rem ains a question whether they w ill “mend th e ir ways.” The under classmen of course never profit by the advise of seniors—so how could they this day? ’Tis hoped they will.

Senior Chapel.An entirely different atmosphere

pervaded Assembly H all on Friday m orning on the occasion of the last devotional exercises afte r term. The services were in charge of the seniors. Each m em ber took som part in making th is an hour long to be remembered by the faculty and student body.

Awarding of Prizes and “N’s.”At 10.30 the pupils again assembled

for the aw arding of prizes and “N’s.”The principals first announced tha t several classes had conducted spelling and composition contests. The suc­cessful pupils w ere then named. Prizes will la ter be given.

P articu lar em phasis has been placed upon the m atte r of attendance records. Announcement was made tha t m any pupils missed no days, others w ere not tardy, and others had no early dism issals, but only five held a perfect record. No ta rd i­ness, early dism issal or absence. To these pupils was aw arded a school ribbon. But as they came to the platform they heard an applause that spoke more loudly than words, the opinion of the faculty and fellow stu ­dents.

High School—Quincy Yowell. Seventh Grade—Bennie Yowell,

Adeline Smith.F ourth Grade—W illiam Fink.Third Grade—Annette Melchior. Coach Eshelman then presented the

official “N’s” to the boys of the basket ball and base ball team fellows, m aking interesting comments as he proceeded.

Mr. Melchior followed, and in words of appreciation of Mr. Eshelm an’s services and exampleship of a man of clean athletic and personal life, presented him w ith an “N.”

The g irls of the basket ball team w ere now called to the platform for

their letters. “Truly our girls have done their p art tow ard making this a great year for N arberth athletics.”

Lastly, a beautiful bouquet of white roses and stream ers of school colors were presented to Miss Wilson as a token of appreciation of her untiring efforts in behalf of athletics in the Narberth schools. Unselfishiness has stamped itself upon the pupils as one of Miss Wilson’s virtues. Undoubted­ly no teacher has been more busy with school duties, yet she always found time to be on hand to cheer for the boys and girls. The long continued applause and call for "speech” was no m ore than she de­serves.

The prizes for the Field Day w in­ners were now awarded. Needless to say this was a big event. (See list of winners.)

Closing Exercises.And now we are ready for the

closing exercises! L ast year!— ?— ! ? Ask anyone w hat happened.

Some one thought he had planned the exercises ju st right. So he had for the non-emotional. But alas for the calamity howlers! By the time the first verse of “God Be W ith You Till We Meet Again” had been sung the teachers and pupils were m aking a sudden exit. Overshoes and hacks were in demand as people fled from before the flood. A few have not been seen in N arberth since.

Well! this year a ll was different. It is said wise people are ap t stu ­dents. The “weepers” who remained away missed a g rea t treat. The new Philadelphia orchestra had been en­gaged for the occasion. Upon sig­nal, its members, forty in number, equipped with the la test invented in ­strum ents fell into line, D irector Haws leading. Such “m usick!” The audience is still wondering w hether the tune was “God Be With You,” “Blest Be the Tie T hat Binds” or “N arberth School Song.” At any rate, it was something, and everybody re ­mained.

Then followed a few short bu t ap ­propriate rem arks from the re tiring teachers, Miss M cCarter and Messrs. Eshelman and Kebler.

Now came the dreaded moment the next song. But all fear of floods was dispelled when the orchestra struck up, “Put Away Your Books and Papers.”

“Now we tu rn our faces homeward right m errily.” A pause—and then together was given the Mizpah—and school was "out.”Commencement Exercises a G reat

Success—Seldom, if Ever, Surpassed —A Crowded House Greets the Class and Speakers—Rev. Alexan­der H. Abbott’s Address M asterful. Rain and wind could not combat the

throng of people who wanted to go to commencement. Prom ise had been given that this would be the “best ever.” Although ex tra chairs had been procured, many persons had to stand.

Promptly a t 8 P. M. the forty girls of the chorus entered the auditorium, followed by the class, Board of Edu­cation and speakers. By 9.15 the benediction brought to a close one of the best commencement program s ren ­dered in Narberth. Nowhere was there a break nor moment lost. Every one who spoke was brief and to the point. The music was, as always, an attractive feature. The audience was attentive throughout.

Mr. C. Howard McCarter, president of the Board of Education, presided,

j The program as announced in last week’s issue of Our Town, was fol­lowed throughout.

Although every feature deserves comment, undoubtedly the big fea­tu re was the address of Rev. A lexan­der H. Abbott. We shall endeavor to present a synopsis of h is address in a subsequent issue of Our Town.

Principal Melchior, in a few words, presented the class to the president of the board. P resident McCarter, in his usual pleasing and practical way, addressed the class and audience. No one hearing him could but appreciate the keen personal in terest th a t he takes in the N arberth School. Again it became his p leasant duty to presen t the diplomas.

No less forceful and sincere were the rem arks of V ice-President Downes, upon whom P resident Mc­C arter called for a sho rt address. It is hoped that citizens will ponder over his frank talk with them. He spoke as only one can who has lived close to school life for years.

A pleasing surprise came to the board, faculty and student body when the president of the Class of 1916, Car­roll Downes, Jr., presented to the school a marble bust of Shakespeare, and a check of one hundred dollars ($100). The biggest “h it” of this in­novation, however, was, perhaps, not the gift, but the rendition of the p re ­sentation speech. The class could well be proud of this representative of the class. The gifts were accepted j by President McCarter in behalf of the school. J

The final word before the benedic- t ion was a cheery word from the presi- dent, who said he was speaking for the five men on the board.

"Pupils and faculty of the N arberth j schools, to each and every one of you do we wish a happy vacation. We fu rther wish to extend our u rgent in­vitation to you to re tu rn to this school next fall, Septem ber 5th.”

The hour that followed the close of the program saw the N arberth School sp irit not only bursting, forth from pupils, but parents and friends alike. Everybody was happy. Why not?

The class consisted of the following who shall pursue the ir studies as follows: Few high school classeshave so great a percentage of itsgraduates go to college: CarrollDownes, Jr., D artm outh; CharlesHoward McCarter, Jr., University of Pennsylvania; F rank lin Foster, a medical college; Jean Justice, Bryn- Mawr; Agnes Rose, Bryn-M awr; Mar­ian Haws, Wilson (will probably take a post-graduate year a t N arberth before en terin g ); H ilda Smedley, Sar- geant School; Estelle Cohic, School of Industrial Art; M arian T rotter, Banks’ Business College; Madeline McCoy, a university and musical con­servatory; Augusta W itherow, Cor­nell.Narberth School Field Day Winners

Class Day Makes Big Hit With Audience.

The program rendered by the Class of 1916 on th e occasion of th is Class Day was original. There was noth­ing monotonous or tiresome. Lots of pep and get up to the whole affair. Yet there was nothing “simple." Ju s t w hat people mean when they say class days a re “sim ple” we do not mean. Although m any a re worse than nothing. But “1916” set a pace for future classes. There w as real get up to th e performances.

The platform , decorated as a farm yard, gave a tru e ring to chanticleer’s crows. Yes, a rea l live rooster, caught in some alley by Estelle Cohic and Hilda Smedley, was there as the mascot. The boys were dressed as farm ers. (They w ere out of the ir element how ever); the girls as m ilk­maids, (they w ere s till more lost.)

Tlie program closed with another class song, quickly followed by a beautiful farewell song sung by the students and faculty.

Although class days are not as popular as of yore, and rightly so. yet the type of program rendered by "1916" is worthy of future classes to consider.

Tlie senior dance on last Saturday night brought to a close the social season for the young people, who care for dancing. Elm Hall was artistical­ly decorated in the class colors—blue and gold. All those present declared it a most enjoyable and elaborate af­fair. Three cheers for the Class of 1916!

Carroll Downes, JCs., l ’resenfalion Speech.

In Uriel' his address was as follows:"Mr. President, ladies and gentle­

men, as a token of tlie Class of 1916’s appreciation for the hearty co-opera­tion and many things you have done for us during our course in the Nar­berth High School, I want to present to 'ou r school this marble bust of Wil­liam Shakespeare. As this is the 300th anniversary of this, our g reat­est poet, we think his bust will make a suitable beginning for our Hall of Fame, which we hope the future classes will help to complete. Also, I wisli to tender this check of $100 to the physics departm ent to be used for the better equipment of tha t de­partm ent. Now, as representative of tlie Class of 1916, I want to thank all the people of Narberth, our school board, Mr. Mclchoir and our faculty, and I hope these slight tokens and our fu ture actions may in measure repay tlie great debt we owe to this our school.”
