(THE ORACLE! - j I BEATRIX A LI DA CRANE Bea came to us from Weldon Grammar School. She lost no time in becoming a member of the Latin. Reading, and Dramatic Clubs. Next the Glee Club claimed her for a part in “The Pirates of Penzance.” I low she can act! Her Eva in the Senior Play gave us our first real glimpse. Her part of Saucer Eyes in the ()| eretta convinced us that she is an ardent worker in dramatics. And you should see her dance! Bea can do almost anything when she wants to and she seems to want to very often. “Come, wander with me for the moonbeams are bright On river and forest, o'er mountain and lea. ” GRACE VOIDS DAVIS Did any one ever see Grace when she wasn't on the move? She’s the most energetic person we know, both mentally and physically. What we most admire in Grace is her frankness, take it from us—what she says is so. During her sojourn in Abington, Grace has been active in many clubs such as the Tennis. Hockey, Latin, Reading and Dramatic Clubs. Indeed, she is treasurer of the Hockey Club and editorial editor of the Oracle. Even though she is always busy, we never knew any one who liked to have a good time more than Grace. Be sure you are right, then go ahead. JAMES BROOKS DIVER Forty—love! Yes, that's usually what the score is when Diver is playing l ecause he wields a wicked racquet—and how! Ambler High made a bad move when she let Brooks slip away from her and we re glad she did because we like him. Of course, one reason he came to Abington is that it s close to Jenkintown—oh, what do we mean by that— I wonder. That’s all right. Brooks, she’s pretty nice and as long as you play good tennis for us, we don’t care if you do wear a Jenkintown Class ring. We’re fond of you as a fellow classmate and hope that some day your name will be where Tilden’s is now. “ Write me as one who lores his felloie-men. Gracious Jerry •c} 24 fc-

.» CTHE ORACLE RACHEL HUDSON COOPER This little maid came to us from the Willow Grove High School in her Sophomore year. In her Junior and Senior yearss, he was an active member of the Swimming, Commercial, Spanish, and Reading Clubs. Rae adds the spice to shorthand class. The commercial department would surely miss her. She’s only a little girl, but she can talk. “Oh, saw ye the lass wi' the bonnie blue 'ecu?” Rae WILLIAM ROSS CORBIN Rill has been interested in sports ever since he entered from Weldon Grammar School in 1948. Our Irish Quarterback not only stars in football but also is on excellent terms with the baseball diamond and the basketball managership. For four years, the Glee Club was proud to number him among its rank, during which time his initial appearance was in “'Flic Pirates of Penzance. Mathematics, Hi-Y, Dramatic and Radio Clubs claim him as a member. His executive ability has l»een demonstrated by his presidency in his Freshman ami Sophomore Years. As editor-in-chief of the Oracle, he has hel| cd to make it a success. His dramatic reputation comes from his portrayal of Adam in the Senior Play. He combines a serious, all-around good fellowship with a keen sense of humor. Lads like Rill chase gloom away. “Cheerful at noon, he wakes from short repose, Breasts the keen air, and carols as he goes.' DOROTHY MAE COREY Fort Washington sent us a real student when Dot came to us in 1948 as a Freshman. Dot is a good friend of Latin, having been an active member of the Latin Club for four years. She is also a good swimmer, having joined the Swimming Club and, in her Junior year, having passed the Red Cross Life Saving Test. Her name occurs on the Honor Roll almost every month. Then, too, she is a member of the Orchestra and the Mathematics Club. Dot expects to be a nurse. If she gets along in nursing as well as in Abington High School, she will certainly be a success. “A blessed companion is a book,—a Imok that fitly chosen is a life-long friend. ' Dot A 1

THE ORACLE RITH TOMLINSON DOLTON L K k what Southampton sent us this time, a blue-eyed, smiling girl who won a place in the hearts of many Abing-tonians. Ruth immediately caught the school spirit and joined the Dramatic Club. As a Senior, she found many ways to use her ability. The French, Glee, Latin, and Library Clubs had her staunch support. Did you see the Senior champions playing interclass basketball.'' Well Ruth was doing her share as a | eppy little forward. She also represented Abington in the spelling contest at Peirce School. Altogether, Ruth is a sweet and lovely girl, always ready to help her classmates! “ The soul's calm sunshine and the heartfelt joy. Rithie Mam MARION ELIZABETH ENGARD Where does she spend most of her time? Ship Bottom! Philadelphia High School for Girls claimed Mam before she entered Abington in her Sophomore year. She stepped right into the swing by joining the Latin. Hiking, Reading, Library and Dramatic Clubs. For two years, she was also a very ardent worker in the Library. She likes to have a little argument now and again; yet she can always say, “All right, you win.” “ A countenance in which did meet Suret records, promises as sweet. JOHN HERBERT ERVIN, JR. He’s that tall, shy fellow we see making his way quietly from room to room, our own Herb who came to us from Abington Grammar School in 1923. Herbert is an active member of Math., Latin, Dramatic, Radio and Spanish Clubs. He is very, very shy, if he is a track man. The most tantalizing blush spreads over his face when a girl even speaks to him. Where Al Hellwig is. Herb is sure to be also. The two are real buddies. “So much is a man icorth as he esteems himself. Herb =4 23 } •
