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

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. And Jean can sing, too—for she took part in both Princess Chrysanthemum and The Bells of Beaujolais. And who could be a better pal than Jean? A sweeter woman ne'er drew her breath. -4 it ►- Jean

FlI Sim®hp fferael MJ BKRTIIA LOUISE CROWE Oh! See her put that t all through the goal! Who? Bert Crowe, the Hockey Team’s star center forward. The team simply couldn’t get along without her. nor could Varsity tennis. I ots of the clubs have discovered the same. During her four years' stay at Abington, Bert has been a staunch supporter of the I.atin. Reading. Library, and Oirls’ Athletic Clubs, also La Kepuhlique Erancaise. Reporter for the Abinytonian and interclass tennis manager may be credited to Bertha. Bert has never a cross word to say. She laughs at the world. Bertha can tell you what it means to be happy. She is gentle, perhaps shy, {at a good friend to all aho know her.” JANE VORIS DAVIS “Actions speak louder than words,” fits well Jane's personality. Abington saw a steady worker in Jane and so elected her librarian of Dramatic Club, and alumni editor of the Oraci.k. We hear that Jane has a strong yearning for the sunny South, especially around the Blue Ridge Mountains. Maybe that’s where your lovely accent was acquired, Jane. Jane also decided that the Latin Club and La Republique Erancaise looked attractive enough to join. Oh. we mustn't forget the dramatic parts Jane played, especially as the maid in the Senior Elay. You’ve played a big part in Abington. We know that you’ll get a leading role in the world. 'She is pretty to walk with. Witty to talk with. f And pleasant to think on, too.' DANIEL ELY DEAN One needs just to watch Dan perambulate down the hall to know that he is one of Mr. Smiley's track aspirants. Take it from us. Dan surely is the runner. Sometimes, all we can see is the dust! Dan defeated the noted Whitt ock in the 440-yard dash and was also runner-up in the state championship for the half mile. Outside of track, the Dramatic Club, «»f which lie was treasurer in his Senior Year, the Commercial and Nature Clubs, and the football squad claimed his attention. We hope that Dan’s life career may be as smooth, swift, and successful as his track career. He hath a will of his own, not easily shaken.” Hert -«8( 19 }8 - Dun
