After prolonged meditation they decided to allow Frank to attend classes here, in order to break him in. The result? He entered Abington High School to be a member of the football squad ever since. He is also interested in radio. By the way, have you ever known of his missing the chance to see a pretty girl? Neither have 1! He was just K. O. (Kut Out) for an actor, it seems. Did you notice the way he played the part of the father in “What They I hink, and Puntz in the Senior play? In spite of his frivolity, he can work hard. Have you ever seen him toiling as stage manager? It would do you good! “ ’ dares do all that becomes a man. Who dares do more?

ALFRED COX EASTWOOD “Came from Weldon Grammar School,” and we are glad lie did! Alfred belonged to the Roys’ Glee Club, and the Latin Club, and took part in a Latin play. In Alfred’s statistics, he notes that he attended a Latin banquet, and further on he says his hobby is eating. Well, if one cats in proportion to one’s size, we pity the cooks of the banquet, for Alfred is a six-footer. That is far from being against him, for the girls do like them tall! He is steady and easy going. We hope he will soon have his “store” that we may call around. “And here's a ready hand to fly the needful tool And skilled enough, by lessons rough in Nature's rugged school! ” F. sty LOUISE L. EDWARDS In September, 1920. Louise came to Abington from the Park School. Louise is quiet. She has for hobbies piano playing, sewing, and reading. I am told that when she is not occupied with lessons or one of her hobbies she amuses herself in arguing, much to the annoyance of her sister. Louise, why didn’t you come out for debating? “ Louise, like all good women, has arguments of her own. Lor GREGORY JAMES EGNER Weldon has another famous member on the list! Let me introduce our football captain, who also featured as center on the all-suburban team. But football is not his only activity for he has belonged to the track team and taken parts in “The Wishing Ring,” “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” and “The Journey’s End Greg says that one of his hobbies is eating. Ah, beware, Greg, “nobody loves a fat man.” He also tells us that sleep is essential to his welfare. Happy-go-lucky ought to be Greg’s middle name. Greg does not tell us his third hobby. Do the girls like him? They don’t miss it. “One who never turns his back but walks breast forward. Agates -4 1G

HELEN MATHILDE FENSKE Helen came to Abington from Germantown in September, 1!)£2. She was a member of the Glee Club for two years, taking part in “Love Pirates of Hawaii.” In her Senior year she joined the Tennis Club. Helen is much interested in cooking and serving. The future we have planned for her is rather complicated. We cannot decide whether she will be a fashionable modiste on Fifth Avenue or settle down and keep house for some one. We wonder! “ Take things as they are and come. Not as they might hare been. RICHARD MONTGOMERY FETTER “Who’s that out there with the number on his jersey?” I looked, and yes, it was Dick. Mud from head to foot. Probably very much bruised but nevertheless I knew he was happy. He worked for three years, watching every game from the bench—fellows who have had that experience know what it means—but finally, he won out and made the varsity team in his fourth year. He also won the honor of being chosen as left guard on the all-suburban team. And didn’t he surprise us all when he forgot his “preposterous diction” long enough to make a successful Walter Fairchilds in “A Mennonite Maid.” “ Sadness may came, and sadness may go Hut fun gees on forever! FRANCES EVERETT FLAYELL Yes. this is Swat. Her hair did you say? Oh. no; not auburn, brown! At least according to Swat herself, it is.

Swat has played varsity basketball for three years, being the Captain of last season’s successful team. Swat is President of the Hockey and Basketball Clubs. She has been a member of both the Radio and Latin Clubs. She has also been a faithful member of the orchestra. “ The splendor of her bright and glancing hair! Dick Huh-huh! Swat 4 18
