fehe teraclr JOHN HRADFIKLD IIAMEL John hails from Weldon Grammar School, where he put over some good football. In his Freshman year, lie played football and promised to become a star. A serious accident, however, spoiled his football career. When he returned to school, lie centered his attention on the La Republique Francaise. We shall remember John and liis side-kick Marshal, always up to something, wise or otherwise. John can always make friends with whomever he wishes. And the ability to make friends is a valuable quality. Who first invented trork, and hound the free and holiday spirit doirnf ANNA GERTIU'DE HAMILTON Tall and stately and yet just a bit of wistfulness in her manner—Ann with her pretty blonde hair! Ann came to us from McKinley. Since then, she has become active in the Commercial, Spanish, Nature, Tennis and Swimming Clubs. She also played on the Senior Hockey Team. Incidentally, Ann didn’t miss any football games this season. In typing and shorthand. Ann has certainly proved her ability. Ann stars in running for the bus and always being late. Ann wouldn’t spoil her record of always being a few minutes behind time for anything! Hut she gets there just the same. “Here comes the lady! O so light a foot Will ne'er irear out the everlasting lint! .4 n n DAISY I DOSS A II AN KIN You like a person who is entertaining, and delightful? Then you will like Daisy, for she always has something pleasant to say. The French. Dramatic and Athletic Clubs claim Daisy as a member. She has shown her ability as an athlete on class basketball, hockey, and track teams. And can she recite Oral English? Just ask her classes! And she reads such intellectual books for reports! Daisy just adores to come up to classes, late from gym. It does take a long time to dress, doesn’t it, Daisy? Maybe some day, you’ll be a rich lady with a French maid to help you. “Though the rale may he deep. There is music around it.’’ Daisy 27 )►—

 5( firefl fobe Oracle iNjfW 23E LEROY .1. GOTTS1I ALL I’m sure we all remember Roy. lie is one of those earnest chaps. I’pon entering Abington. Roy joined the ranks of the ocationals, and later became a member of the Vocational Club. IIow about The Ifof al Mounted There we saw Roy as a real northwestern fellow, always on the job, ready for whatever might pop up. .Vs Roy’s Senior year drew nigh, he joined the Mathematics Club. Here again Roy always gave bis best attention and helped us out over the rough spots. I think one of Ron’s secret sayings is. “Think before you act.’’ “Even children followed with endeavoring wile And plucked hin gown, to share the good man's smile.” Uo„ HELEN GUNOLD Do we know Helen? I should say we do. If not found fit the candy counter, she will invariably be found in the library. And how she can take charge of that library! How about the week Miss Ayers was away? Of course, we expect this of Helen: she was secretary and vice-president of the Library Club. Resides this, she’s a member of the Dramatic, Commercial. Nature. Tennis, and Spanish Clubs. What would tin Senior Play and Dance Committees have accomplished without Helen’s advice? Withstanding all this—if you want to have some fun— find Helen. 1 witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power” Patsy EDITII MARIE HADDOCK Ede's quiet appearance has fooled more than one of her acquaintances—when one expects it least, she is likely to come out with a long streak of talks about—well, usually her bookkeeping. As a Sophomore. she was a member of Mr. Johnson’s famous choir. In her Senior year, she was a loyal member of the Library and Commercial Clubs. Ede does not go out for much, but what she does go out for. she usually makes a success. Ede with her “Miss Prim ways has quite a show of spirit underneath— especially when her clever church leader gets her started. Every one taking the first Glenside bus knows that. Soft is the music that would charm forever.” Ede -4 2 )►-

You bounce from one place to another, as light as a feather! And tell us, Trudy— is there ever a movie you miss? Perhaps that is why you act so cleverly. The Spanish. Commercial.
