Compose yourself, Steve, for it didn’t kinder you from becoming a member of the Radio. Mathematics, Dramatic and Spanish Clubs. And now that we men tion the Dramatic Club, we recall Steve as the dashing .Tack in A erer Heliere 'Em, as well as T’ncle Symperson in the Senior Play. Steve, too, was a member of the track and soccer squads. But we’ll all remember Steve as the wise cracker of the Senior Class. God hies the man who first in rented sleep.” St ere MOVIN' RFSSELL DETWILER Girls! Look at Fritzie’s complexion! He did not buy it in a drug store, either. 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. We vote Emma as a good scout and a delightful pal. ‘'Sweet, { rave aspect ” Em ma -■$ 20 }■ -

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

Yes. you must have been, be you the smallest Freshman or stateliest Senior. And how we like Thelma’s unexpected and lovely haircuts! Who is your hairdresser, Hinny? Hut Thelma doesn't spend all her time at the hairdresser’s, considering that she pilots our Abingtonian each week as editor-in-chief. For four years, she has been a flashing star on the hookey field. And then Thelma has loaned her charming personality to flu Dramatic and Interims Flubs as their president. Who will forget that clear strong voice in the Ahington dee Club production of Princess ('hrysanthi mum and The Pells of Urdu joints Thelma took time to act as vice-president and secretary of the Athletic Association, and secretary of her class, and to be an active member of tin French and Heading Clubs, and Student Council. .lust think what we would have missed if we hadn't known Thelma! Thelma with her true blue heart! 7 lire not like the main of my kind. Mine is u world of feelings and of fancies. Fancies, whose rainbow-empire is the mind. Feelings that realize their own romances;' PALL FREDERICK EARWAKEK This tall blond, in the fall of 11HM. slipped quietly into the turmoil of higher education in company with some Freshman from Highland (irammar School. Spanish being his favorite language. Paul joined the Spanish Club, of which he acted, as president for a while. He also l elonged to the ever-active Commercial Club. Maybe, after a while, we’ll hear of him as being the most efficient typist and bookkeeper in seven counties. For persistence is Paul's middle name. Write me as one who loves his feUowmen PAUL A. ECJNER Paul decided to join us in 1925, coming from St. Luke’s Commercial School. We are glad that St. Luke’s sent him, for what would our football team have been without Paul on its line? The Spanish and dec Clubs also received Paul. Shouldn’t we call Paul the class tease? Never giving the girls any peace? No matter the place oY circumstances Agates can always brighten things. Hut he can also be serious and sympathetic. Have you ever tried to argue with Paul? Agates can convince you that black is white and with his ready smile he makes you like it. That's Paul! “Aw, why should life all labour be? - 2i f - Agates
