LETITIA BOWEN ASKI WORTH Coming to us from Pottstown High School in her Junior year, I etitla soon won her way into our hearts with her gentle, charming manner and her winsome smile. She has been a faithful member of the Latin Club, and of the Choir. Quiet and shy, but a true friend to all who know her! “Come pensive one, derout and pure, Sober, steadfast and demure. Lktty MARY ELLEN BALLEXTINE Ellen is a demure, but very lovable little maid and her very demureness hides a heap of wisdom. The Honor Roll vouches for that. She doesn’t look it but she’s especially good in math. Imagine! A little girl like that! In her Junior year she was in the Press and Spanish Clubs, and in her Senior year, the Mathematics and Internos Clubs. We hope that Ellen’s as much of a success at the U. of P. as she has been here. “ Those about her From her shall read the perfect trays of honour. Ellex WILBUR X. BIGGARD Wilbur is one of the vast tribe of Glenside-Weldonites. Each year at school he has devotee! himself to some organization. In his Sophomore year he was one of the oast of the operetta, “The Wishing Ring.” In his Junior and Senior years, he went out for interclass football, the Orchestra, and the Mathematics Club. He is always ready to have some fun in that Peerless of his. We vote him a good scout. “Softly street, in Lydian measures Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures 9 Ben Franklin 18 Y-

ANNA VIRGINIA AIREY Well—this is the first of the Seniors—and a very nice one, too. Virginia’s been a devoted member of the Spanish Commercial, and Tennis Clubs. Moreover, when the Commercials want candy sold, they go straight to Virginia and she’s always “ready and willing.” Maybe Fort Washington air has a peculiar effect. At any rate, Virginia writes poetry. “ Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind!” Ginny BERTHA HUNTER AMBLER “Bertie” to her friends, Bertha Hunte Ambler, also to her friends because she has no foes. Poor Bertie has listened to tales of woe from nearly every girl in the Senior Class at one time or another. That’s the penalty for having an “unruffablc” disposition and a sympathetic nature. Her graceful dancing has more than once entertained the Dramatic Club of which she is a member. And when the Choir is practising, we can always hear Bertie leading all the rest. Bertha is quiet but mischief lives in her blue eyes. ” All that is good, all that is fair!” Bert JAMES EDWARD ASHWORTH “The boy with the smile” came to us from Pott stow n High. He brought with him some delightful talks about the country, to use in Oral English. He immediately entered what he thought the best club in Abington, the Commercial C'lub, and later the Glee Club, and took quite a part in the opera. For sports, Jimmie decided to put more competition on the track. Now he is a fast miler. Then when soccer came along, it also took his attention as did a number of girls and his Ford. Jimmie may be called on to lend a helping hand. “One that lores his felloic-men!” Jimmy 4 17

H THE ORACLE Y% '— « —A GENEVRA LOUISE BOND Once more Abington scored over Cheltenham—this time when we got Jerry. Although Jerry’s only been with us a short time, she swung right into our ways by joining the Glee, Dramatic and Basketball Clubs. She was a very active member of the Abingtonian Statr. Jerry surely did put pep and snap into the varsity basketball games when she played as guard. Before so very long, we may see Jerry’s name along the “Great White Way” ’cause we’ve been told that her secret ambition is to be an actress. All who saw her as “Miss Prism” in the Senior play agree unanimously that she’s made a dandy start. “ low street and gracious even in common speech!” Jerry HANNA JAMISON BREADY Ginger is a Willow Grove girl. She entered Abington in the year of our Lord, 1928. She, too, belonged to the Commercial Club. She gave us her assistance with the Thanksgiving Day programs. Ginger is one of our “speedy” shorthand writers. She is not like the weather even if she is quiet. She is always in a good humor, smiling pleasantly. “ The sweetest kind of bashfulness!” Ginger HENRY FRANCIS BUSTARD Buster came into our midst from the McKinley Grammar School in 1921. Although he never entered into any social activities or clubs, his spirit has never been dampened. You could always see “Buster’s flaming crop” at any game, even if the McKinley bunch had left. Most of his time was devoted to geometry, P. (). I), and English. Feed Buster facts and he’ll keep them forever. “ Laughter holding both his sides.” 4 19 }=• Bister
