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.

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.

Again this year he played varsity football and furthered his popularity. Bill’s the quietest fellow in the class but if you want to see the real Bill, look into his eyes.
