He just won’t he stopped on the football field or any other place. And on the basketball court, he shows the same old scrap, right up to the hilt, every second. Then. too. Buff has another line of talent. We’ll all remember him as Cheviot in the Senior Play. Plus these activities. Buff is a member of the Mathematics and Dramatic nubs. Buff has a keen sense of humor and always wears a happy-go-lucky grin, lie's the kind of a fellow we’re proud to call a friend. ”There's a good time coming, boys!” MAE BLANCHE Bl’TTON Buttons! Buttons! Who’s seen Buttons? She’s here-—there—and everywhere. This energetic little girl came to us in her Freshman year from South High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan. At once, she started doing things, so that now she is a member of the Orchestra, the Glee Club, the Girls’ Athletic Club, the Hockey Squad.: Interims. La Republique Francaise. and the Dramatic Club. She is also president of the Reading Club and one of our first girl cheer leaders. In her Senior year. Buttons excelled in dramatics—playing Peoria, in The Hints' Christmas Carol, Hannah in Hetty's Last Hct, and Maggie in Engaged.. A little piece of vivacity! That’s Buttons! Hang sorrow! ('are will kill a cut. And therefore let's be merry. Huttons JEANNETTE WOOD CAMPBELL Jean is one of our class athletes—and one of our best friends. Jean has been a member of the Swimming. Latin. Reading. Glee, Interims. Library. French and Girls’ Athletic Clubs. In her Junior and Senior years, she showed her wonderful sportsmanship as guard on the Basketball Team.

fohe Oracle -• ' • rzS Margaret betelle batezell Smiling and happy sin came—our flashing, darkeyed IVg. That same smile and her sunny disposition endeared her to all of us. She lost no time in joining the Swimming. Reading. Latin, French, Math, and tlee Flubs. In her Junior year, when the Library (Mill) was formed. Peg was one of the first to join. Have you heard the rich mellow alto in the double quartette? Well, that was Peg. We all remember her good work as hockey manager. Besides being manager, she was also one of the squad. With a touch of Irish temper and the looks of a Spanish maid. Peggy jumps right into our hearts to laugh our troubles away. She holds her lit tic thoughts in sight, Tho gag then mw ami leap.” WILLIAM HEIXDRICH BATTER SB V There’s Rill ! Ambling down the hall toward the commercial department! Hill's never in a hurry, never, never worries—but he’s not collegiate, even though he is considered rather modern. Who’d ever think Rill was a poet? He is a good one, at that. Hid you ever hear Rill argue? lie is quite a backer of Bernard Shaw. You should hear that boy argue for his friend. When Rill’s not writing or arguing, he is usually running errands for tin Oracle or doing something for the Commercial Club. You know. Rill is president of this lively Commercial Club. With his convincing ways. Rill will become President of the Cnited States or something. There is no wisdom likd frankness. El WIX YERKES HREADY Hd matriculated at Abington in 25, coming from Willow drove in his Sophomore year. Ed is a member of the Radio and Math.

f» XwX.1 : .' ••» » fehe Oracle 5ZS32 [CTT a HAROLD CORNELL CARTER Quiet and reserved as lie is, only those who know him best can appreciate his sterling worth. Harold kept himself rather scarce in the first year or two of his high school life. However, when the call for the class football team was heard, he responded enthusiastically. One of his ambitions was to obtain a place in the Senior Play cast. As stern Major Mctiilli-cuddy, his ambition was realized. Among his activities, he counted the Nature and Mathematics Clubs, also J-a Republique Francaise. A most delightful smile adds to his attractions. Harold is the original optimist. Worth makes the man.” .1. BOYD COATES Coatsie! Who doesn’t know Boyd? Don’t you remember Belvawney. the dashing young hero of the elopement in the Senior Play? That was Boyd at his best. Then, too, there is another Boyd, the orator on the Debating Team, eyes Hashing, voice compelling. Boyd is president of the Radio Club. The Latin. Nature. (ilee. and Mathematics Clubs could not get along without Coatsie. Many of the notes in the Ahing-tonian came from his pen. He put that little touch of pep into the Senior Football Team. A popular kid? We’ll say! Boyd is one of the leaders in the Class of ’28. “Charm us, orator, till the lion looks no larger than the rat. Coatsie JANE PENN CRISPIN Long, light, wavy hair, large blue eyes! You guessed it, Jane! She may not la very large but believe me she is large enough to be in the Library Club Play, on the Spelling Team, and on the Ahing-tonian staff. Then. too. she is vice-president of the Reading Club. The Latin. Library, Tennis and Hockey Clubs claim her hardy support. Of course, she belongs to La Republique Francaise. Confidentially, Jane is a great cook and she just loves to bake. We think Jane is the queen of hearts and tarts. Jane’s popularity isn’t just in Abington: it extends into the wilds of Glenside and North Glenside, and, I believe, wherever Jane is known. He may live without poetry, music and art. W'c may live without conscience and live without heart, 1! may lire without friends, we may live without hooks. Hut civilized man can not live without cooks. Jean -■«§{ 18 )3
