WILLIAM SCOTT GEBIIARDTSBAUER Scott is one of our serious, slow-spoken boys. He has been a member of the Latin, Spanish, Art, Commercial, Dramatic, Soccer and Tennis Clubs. He has also been on the basketball and tennis squads. He ventured forth into dramatic Helds in his Senior year and made a success as Lane, the man servant, in “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Scott looked so well in his butler’s uniform, that we think he really ought to wear a uniform of some kind in the future. “ The kindest man. The best conditioned and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies.” JEAN BERTHA GILBERT Who thinks, says, does the unexpected? Why, Jeanie, to be sure. She has been a loyal member of the I atin. Dramatic, and Basketball Clubs. Many of the clever, snappy articles turned out by the Press Club claim Jean as their writer,and the Year Book has benefited by her assistance. She is naturally athletic, going out for basketball, tennis, swimming, track, and hockey. Speaking of hobbies, Jean’s right there. Her special one is hockey. She played left half on the Varsity during her Senior year. Jean can sing. too. for her name is to be found in the Choir. To sum it up, she is an all-around girl. Jean is the visible personification of a perfect plus school spirit. “ Persuasive speech and more pcrsuasice sighs, Silence that sj oke and eloquence of eyes. Jeanie HELEN NAGLE GOEXTNER If ever you are looking for a i eppy booster—from Weldon—Helen fills the bill. Helen has played on the Varsity Hockey Team and (’lass Basketball Team for three years. Many clubs claim her membership—Basketball, Latin, Glee, Art, Tennis and Mathematics. Helen was vice-president of her class in the Junior year, and who can forget her as “Betty” in “The New Poor,” or as “Cecily” in “The Importance of Being Earnest?” Helen so impressed the school with her dramatic ability that she was elected Senior president of the Dramatic Club. With all these activities, Helen has the reputation of being a good student, especially in chemistry. “ Who can tell for what high career This darling of the gods was born? Gkbbie Helex :J 26

( THE ORACLE ) 4 12 ' L; - ta .wjRLJUftM-JJSvi WILLIAM RAYMOND FINNEY Away from the Farms of Ivyland came one W. Raymond Finney to take up vocational study at A. H. S. He was president of the Vocational Club, a football man, and a member of the Mathematics and Glee Clubs. And then we can’t forget his acting ability. That famous football tackle in “The Crimson Cocoanut”! That villain in the “The Royal Mounted”! So he leaves us. We shall be minus not only his red hair and honest blue eyes and interesting grin, but also his willingness to co-oj erate and his kindliness of heart. “ True wit is Nature to advantage dressed.” Ray FLORENCE MILDRED FOWLER Who is that person forever and ever talking? No one else but Hoss. Even though Florence did not come from est Philly until her •Junior year, she plunged right into the swing of things. The Dramatic Club soon claimed her as one of its most enthusiastic members. Floss also found time for the Abingtonian and the Commercial Club. She guided the committee which made such a clever choice of a Senior play and she helped to make the Year Book a success. Best of all who can forget her as demure, yet spirited, Rosa in the Vocational Club Play? Floss likes the ocational Club. She fairlv bubbles over with good cheer, a “regular fellow,” we’ll tell the world! “ M usic. when soft voices die J hr cites in the mem or u. RLTH FREINFIELD Abington High School acquired from Glen side-Weldon the quietest little girl in the Commercial Course. Of course she belongs to the Commercial Club and the Oracle staff claims her as a most efficient chief typist. If you ever want to race in shorthand or typing, Ruth will accommodate you. Her eyes usually speak for her but when her voice ventures forth, it charms like sweet music. “ For where is any author in the world Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye? ' Floss R ASTI’S

WALLAC E MOFFETT GOLDSMITH This is our absent-minded Wally, sent to us from Cheltenham. We thank Cheltenham for sending us our Class Poet, and a scholar of unusual ability. Latin class wouldn’t be the same without Wally, and he’s been a valuable addition to the Orchestra, Oracle Staff, Dramatic Club, Choir, and Tennis. As an orator, Wally’s right there. His ability to use long words gave him the part of Dr. Chasuble in the Senior play. His work is never in on time but we can forgive him for that because he is apt to be roaming with the immortals or giving “to airy nothings a local habitation and a home.” “ To be great is to be misunderstood.” Wally DOROTHY COGSWELL GRAHAM When Dot is not in school, she is usually out of school. Basketball, tennis, hockey and swimming all claim her spare time. Art, Press, Latin and Dramatics contribute to her busy schedule. Or perhaps the “Pipes of Pan” entice her. She is not loth to follow in his train, singing her way through the operas of “Martha.” and “The Pirates of Penzance.” It is only a fancy but may one fondly hope that Dot will always choose to follow—not the fickle Pied Piper of fairy-tale fame—but Peter Pan and eternal youth! “ Notes that trend their heavenly ways To mend the choirs above. ” VICTOR GROSHENS, Jr. This is the s’prisc package of the class. He comes from Willow Grove. Vic was a quiet boy until this year. But how he did step out in basketball! He lists for his activities: Latin, Hi-Y, Glee and Mathematics Clubs, Choir, Track, Tennis, “The Pirates of Penzance,” and basketball. Vic’s our official flower man and we’d like to “say it with flowers”! “Men of fete words are the best men. Dot 27 )=-
