BENJAMIN ALLEN BROOKS Allen entered Abington High School from Cheltenham in his Senior year. Although he missed a great deal of school on account of illness, he made quite a few friends. His hobbies arc French, tennis and tardiness. He may be an hour or two late but he gets there just the same. Perhaps we ought not to mention the fair cause of his tardiness. “.I dillar! A dollar! A ten o'clock scholar! What makes him come so soon? lie used to come at ten o'clock And note he comes at noon.' Brooksik ALBERT STEWART BROSS For co-operation, fairness and good fellows nip, apply to Brock. As a meek and gentle Freshman, newly loosed from Weldon Grammar School. Brock gave his all to our football ami baseball teams. His smiling countenance and polished manners were soon known and welcomed in the Short Story Club and Oracle Staff, while everyone is sure “The Mistletoe Bough,” and “The Romancers” could not have done without him. His hobby? Well, we think it's either arguing or Noble, but don’t ask him for you know lie’s pretty busy making college credits in algebra, plane geometry, and chemistry. For, here’s a secret: He was going to be one of our leading speed typists but in his Senior year he decided to go to college, and undaunted by the task ahead of him, set to work “making up” his subjects. Did he win? We’ll say he did! “ They re only truly great who are trulyjjocd. SAMUEL S. CHUBB In our Sophomore year our ranks were increased by one Samuel Chubb known as Sam, who came from Kennett Square High. During his first year he showed marked ability on the basketball floor. During our Junior year he continued to shine and he also took part in the Class Track Meet. But in our Senior year, Sam really shone, because he was Manager of the football team and Captain of the basketball team. Besides all this, Sam is capable of doing two other things extremely well. These are: asking foolish questions and driving the Ford. “ What is the reason of this thusness? Chubby Brock

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

JOHN M U RICK CLAIR Maurice entered from William Penn Charter School in 1923. He soon became acquainted with the football eleven on the gridiron, making a worthy place for himself and the school. Although in one short year he didn’t have time to excel in the classroom, he broke many a record in the hearts of men(?). “None but the brave deserve the fairP Path HELEN MEDBURY CLARK The most “peppy” girl in the Senior class entered from eldon School in 1920. She literally dived into everything. If Helen wasn’t in the Art, Basketball, Short Story, Hoc-key, Latin, Swimming or Glee Clubs, she was on the Basketball, Hockey or Debating Teams, or else taking part in “The Love Pirates of Hawaii,” “The Gypsy Rover,” “The Wishing Ring,” “Pan on a Summer’s Day,” “The Editors at Home” or “A Mennonite Maid.” Helen also was Vice-President of the Art Club. Secretary of the Glee Club, Captain of the Debating Team, and Captain of the Junior Basketball Team. Have you tickets to sell? “hot dogs” to make? Want anything done cheerfully andwell? Ask the busiest people—ask Helen Medbury Clark. LOIS EVANGELINE CLARK “Oh. what a girl was Lois! Oh, what a girl was she!” We've discovered that since she came to our ranks from the Hat boro High School in 1922. She soon joined us in Glee Club. In her Senior year Ix became one of the hard workers in our Press Club. Lois also took up swimming. One day she screwed her courage to its highest point and ventured in the deep. Some one grabbed her just in time or Lois would have left this pleasant world. But that didn’t stop her. and it wasn’t long before Lois could swim from one end of the pool to the other. “Bright eyes sparkle and gleam.' Lo PI
