U • .. ZUH i«n '•1HF -QS cue ' ALLEN S. COIRDIFF A! entered Aldington from a Philadelphia school. He started his high school career by going out for basketball, playing every year. He made also the track and soccer teams. Many of the girls believe that A1 can double for Valentino. The Orchestra was never complete without him. Who can forget the ardent bass drummer who boomed out the time in Mr. Kreider’s famous band? Then, too, he belonged to the Hi-Y and Mathematics Club, and played on all the class teams. Yes, sir, AJ was a very busy man. “Rest first, then icork!” ANTHONY EDWARD CREVELLO (’revello is one of the excellent violinists whom our orchestra numbers in its ranks. McKinley sent him to us but we didn’t know him until he joined that peppy Vocational Club and made a hit in baseball. Anri who doesn't remember him as an anarchist in “The Crimson Cocoanut, a dignified father in “The Hut,” and, best of all. an axe-flourishing French Canadian in “The Royal Mounted”? But he never yet has gained a demerit for talking because he doesn’t speak more than ten words at a time. “ We arc the music makers And we are the dreamers of dreams” SAMUEL CUNNINGHAM Yes, sir, Sam made an enviable record during his four-year stay with us. Notice was first given him when he played on the Freshman Basketball Team. Selling was one of his many other hobbies. The Boys’ Glee Club found a good man in him and acknowledged it by a solo part in the operas “Martha” and “The Pirates of Penzance.” The Art, Spanish, Hi-Y, and Commercial Clubs are proud of him. The soccer team and basketball squad will miss this willing, ever-cheerful fellow. But we all have our faults and his was—well, it wasn’t silence. “Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat— And, therefore, let's be merry!” Sam { 24 }e-

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

. r fTME QR aCLE y Tzrr HELEN MARIA DARDIS Helen entered Abington High School, November, 1925, from the Nyack High School of New York. She soon distinguished herself as a Commercial Club speller. In her Senior year, she went into library work. Helen was also an ardent worker for the Thanksgiving Day program. Commercial Seniors will never forget Helen’s interesting stories as she is one of the few of “us mortals” having the opportunity to see Italian weddings and funerals. Helen, however, wouldn’t have traded places with that Italian bride for all the Europes in the world. Here’s wishing you more trips to foreign countries, Helen. “ The street cottrersc of an innocent mind.' Helena ANITA MARIE Dk FAZIO Feasterville High sent A. II. S. a laughing girl when Anita came to Abington High in the year 1921. Always smiling and having a good time seem to be Neet’s slogan, for “blue glooms” and bad luck never accompany this smiling lassie. And then, Anita, being a commercial student, of course, joined the Commercial Club. We are sure that Xeets will come “Smilin’ through” the game of life. “ She is a maiden of artless grace. Gentle of form and fair of face.' Neets STUART DALZELL DIXWOODIE “Where’s Dinnie?” chorus the hero-worshippers. As quickly the hero replies, “On deck!” Not that the hero would ever consent to the title. Star forward, staunch quarterback, shortstop, pinch pitcher and four-base hitter, Stuart blushes to accept the school’s gratitude— a five-pound box of sweet chocolates! Basketball captain, Ili-Y man, Athletic Association president, Dinnie still takes time for his club-work. Latin Club and Dramatic, Comite Francaise and Oracle—all know him as leader, actor or editor. Managing co-editor on the Junior staff, he easily filled the Senior chief’s chair. As a dashing, bemonocled Englishman, he cleverly impersonated Algv —one of the Senior play cast. Always the leader, the hero! Now the metaphor weakens. Would it not be better to change it? For Stuart is more like a pilot, steering a ship of souls. For two years as class president, he has piloted through shoal and shallow. If you want to know' “Where’s Dinnie?” he’s up there, lads, “on deck!” “ Let a man then know his xrorth and keep things under his feet. 4 28 Jc- Dixxy
