IIORACK JAMES FLEETWOOD In September. 1925, the school bus from Willow Grove discharged a new addition to Abington, Horace Fleetwood. Since then. Fleeter has been doing his part at Abington. You remember the politician in the Dramatic Club Play, and the boy who so gallantly gave a “temporary” leg while doing his bit in helping the Seniors in the interclass football contest? That was Fleeter. And. boy. what poetry Horace can write! He is an active member of the Spanish and Commercial Clubs, too. Well, Horace, when you reach the high road of life, just keep pushing and doing you part as you have done at Abington. and you’ll reach the top. there's no sun, still run hare the moon. Fleeter ELSIE ALBERTA FCLCIIUItE Bert slipped into Abington High School, determined to do her best. Sin worked hard at her studies and also joined the Commercial Club.

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 )►-
