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

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.

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 }■ -

ESS IK D. EH WIN WIhmi S ciime to Abington. she meant business and joined the Commercial. Spanish. Swimming and Athletic Clubs. And, of course, you remember bow she worked as manager of the Curtis Campaign and played guard on the Varsity Basketball Squad. And Essie’s hair Oh. no—it’s not red, it’s auburn. Anyway. it’s a bright spot, wherever S goes. S loves sports, all kinds of sports—particularly football and football players. And Essie plays the game. too. The opposing team never gets a goal if S can help it and S usually can ! Magnificent spectacle of human happiness.” ADELE SALKXA EVERS Who thinks, says, does the unexpected? Why Del, of course. Del entered Abington from Fort Washington in 11)24, and we certainly consider Fort Washington the loser. Del swung right into things by joining the Nature, Spanish. Commercial and Library Clubs. The Internos Club also claims our Del as its competent treasurer. The Oracle staff is glad to boast that Del is a most efficient bookkeeper. Del showed her dramatic ability as Minnie in the Senior Flay. Taking all in all, we find Del every inch a real girl. 'Come, read to me some poem. Some simple and heartfelt lag, That shall soothe this restless feeling, And banish the thoughts of dag.” MARION ELIZABETH FEIST A laughing, cheerful friend is Meffie. who came to us from Germantown High in 1924. She started out by showing her true spirit in joining the Nature and French Clubs. She also did her bit in making the two operettas successful. And did she not show her interest in athletics by joining tin Swimming and Tennis Clubs and in building a firm foundation for the Girls’ Athletic Club? That’s Meffie—always ready to help keep things stirring! “Her very froirns are fairer for Than smiles of other maidens fair. Meffie - 22 )►-
