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

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

Lately, we have received quite a few complaints from Fritzie’s neighbors. that Fritzie is making too much noise. When we explained very nicely to them that Fritzie is in the band at A. II. S.. they relented. Fritzie certainly devotes most of his time to music. Did you hear The Hells of Beaujolais? Well. Fritzie was a member of the chorus. Nevin was also a member of the Boys’ Glee and Mathematics Clubs. Here’s hoping we soon find another boy from North Glenside like Fritzie, with a school girl’s complexion, and a mania for music! flood humor is the health of the soul.'r EMMA ROSETTA DICKKL You know her. of course? That dark-eyed, (larkhaired little girl, who is always busy about Room Three? It is Emma. Emma who talks very little, but thinks a lot. Early in her school life, she joined tin Commercial. Nature, Spanish and Tennis Clubs. She is silently active in each one of them. Emma can always see a joke, and mix fun with her work.
