DOROTHY Dl'BREE AMBLER Dorothy is a graduate of Abington Grammar School. This young- lady seems rather serious although you never can tell from appearances. She has been a meml»er of the Glee Club, the Short Story Club, and the Latin Club. We predict in the future that a brilliant club woman will Dorothy be! Though quiet in school. Dorothy, they say, is the life of a party. She is also a most witty and gracious hostess and we like to call at her home, for all are welcome there. “Come in the evening, or come in the morning, Come irhen you're looked for or come without warning. EPHRAIM RAYMOND AMPLER, Ju. Another musician? Yes. but not an ordinary one. Here we have a saxophone player de luxe. Solos. classical music and jazz music come equally easy to “ lubby Ambler. As a result he is in great demand with local orchestras and he broadcasts with the “Midnight Serenades ” every Friday night from station WIAD. Next to music we find “Tubby” as a member of the swimming team. As his name might imply, he is an excellent plunger. When he is not playing in the orchestra, you can usually find him over at the Y. M. C. A. trying to break Johnny Weismuller's swimming records. “ Hi very fort has music in it as he comes up the stairs. HENRY K. ARNOLD Hen is one of those fellows who make parties lively. He always has something to suggest or something to do. Hen has all of the characteristics of a true actor. He can make talk. He is just good looking enough and just funny enough to attract the girls. He is best appreciated on the school bus and in the physical training class. Public speaking is his favorite subject. He is taking the part of Jake Getz in the Senior play, “A Mennonite Maid.” “ I.ct the world slide!' 10 1If.x Dot

WALTER SAMUEL BECK From the time Reekie entered Abington High School to the approach of graduation, he has been an active participant in a great many doings of the school. He has been a member of the High School Orchestra for four years and therefore qualifies for the title of “oM timer in this activity.” Press Club, Radio Club, Short Story Club, Oracle Staff. Band and ('hiss Basketball Team are some of the activities in which we find “Beckie” engaged. Science in all its forms is Walter’s hobby, and we predict he will become a great scientist. “ The xrorld knoxrs nothing of the greatest men. Bk ky EDMUND ALEXANDER BITTING Edmund is a quiet, reserved vocational hoy, who expects to enter the electrical field. In the line of sports he just naturally takes to baseball. Every year since he entered from McKinley Grammar School, he has been a faithful member of the baseball squad. For his first two years’ hard work, he has been repaid by making the varsity team. As a Junior, he played on the class basketball team. This last year, he has been one of the members of the enterprising Vocational Club. ‘ Slow to talk, quick to act! Bittix’ EVELYN JANET BOWMAN Evelyn introduced herself to us four years ago when die came from Sorth (Henside Grammar School to Abing-on as a Freshman. Perhaps one might say that music s one of her hobbies because she has been a very faithful nember of the (dee Club. But on the other hand, many Jubs can lay claim to her famous name—for instance, he Writers’ Club where she has furnished us with so nany laughs. Then there are the Latin Club and debating circles. Who will ever forget her wonderful portrayal of unty Em in that eventful Senior play? Take time for deliberation. Haste spoils everything.” Bow -4 ii y
