BOYD BROWN Bl'TTON “Button, button, who’s got the button?” Buttons came to Abington from South High, Grand Rapids, Michigan, by way of Northeast High. Philadelphia. He soon joined the Latin Club. His Senior year found him a member of the Mathematics Club and the football squad. Boyd never moralizes. “Joke it along” is his motto. His jokes, however, conceal a keen brain. “ I am Sir Oracle, And ichen I ape' my lips, let no dog bark! HAZEL VIRGINIA CLARKE Margie and Clarkie are not to be separated. No, indeed! But even at. that. Hazel found time to go out for hockey. Then, too, the Commercial and Spanish Clubs claim her as one of their members and Hazel is in the ranks of the Vigilance Committee. She is an exceptionally good customer of the candy counter but that loes not affect her studies. We hope that Hazel will continue to progress in her outside work as well as she has done in her four years at A. H. S. “.I true friend is forercr a friend! Clarkis WILLIAM FRALEY COFFIN Bill ambled down from Hartsville in his little old Ford and fitted right into A. II. S. He did himself proud immediately by making the Varsity Football Team. He also played basketball and track. Athletics didn’t take all his time for he belonged to the Glee Club and was a charter member of the Hi-Y. 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.

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

When you hear a silvery laugh, Marjorie’s coming. “Actions speak louder than words. Marg ESTHER MARGARET COREY Esther is one of those good all-round students from the University of Fort Washington. Her scholastic standing has many times entitled her to a place on that honorable roll. As a keen enthusiast of the Glee Club, she took part in “Martha” and “The Pirates of Penzance.” She has been a member of the Latin Club and the Dramatic Club. She won her Senior Life Saving Award by three years of work in the Swimming Club. Her literary career gave her position of Editorial Editor on the Oraclf. staff, and her high school reputation will serve her in college. “Es” is recorded among the lists of assets of A. H.

Who has not gasped to see that awe-inspiring drop of his twirl over the platter? In club work he has shone—in French Club and Math. In the gym he has played—played to win in the game. And to cap his career, he became Earnest Worthing, really Earnest—in the Senior play. May he ever play to succeed in that role! “And the best of all games is the playing, lad 1
