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 } •

(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-

 V 4 (THE ORACLE} 4 Grace GRACE ANNA FINNEY Where shall we l egin? Anywhere, we might say, because there seems to l e not one thing that Grace cannot do. Southampton High certainly was the loser when she came to Abington, two years ago. First, she is musical, being a member of the Choir ami Glee Club and violinist in the Orchestra. Rememlter the girl who played the piano in Assembly? That was Grace. She can write! We all know her as a member of the Abingtonian and Year Hook Staffs and don’t forget that Grace won the medal for the best Lincoln essay. Then, again, Grace was captain of the Negative Championship Debating Team. And who could forget her as Aunt Abbv in the Senior Flay? Resides all this, she has had time to join the Latin, French, Internos and Math. Clubs. Last, of course, Grace in one of the honor students at Commencement. By the way, how do vou like Grace's new bob? Good looking, isn't it? “ Three years she grew in sun and shower, Then Nature said, a lovelier flower On earth was never sown. ” RITH ELIZABETH FOWLER We all know Fat, that “red-headed gal,’’ with the eternal green dress, always on the job, with a smiling face and a helping hand. We're glad West Fhiladelphia High sent her to us in 1924. How can we forget how well she played the awkward part of Ethel Boke in “Seventeen”? The clubs that claim her membership are Dramatic, Tennis, Reading. Spanish, Hockey and—don’t forget, the Glee Club. Even though you couldn’t see her in the Senior Flay, she worked mighty hard as a prompter. Pat is a faithful worker on the Year Book Staff. Pat’s chief delight is in helping others to have a good time, while she is having one herself. “Ah that sueh sweet things should be fleet. Such fleet things sweet! Ritii RI TH MARIE FREEMAN Who is this petite one with the smiling brown eyes? You must rememl er Ruth who proved herself so capable an actress in the Senior Play. Ruth is another one of our class song-birds. She has shown her ability as a singer in the chorus of “The Firates of Penzance,” and has been a member of the Glee Club for three years. 'Hie Art. Latin, and Internos Clubs claim her membership and she also capably fills the position of vice-president of the Dramatic Club and secretary of the French Club. Ruth always accomplishes what she sets out to do as is shown by her appearance on the Honor Roll and the Commencement list. Sometimes it is said that one must make a noise to l e recognized. Ruth, quiet, reserved, ertainly proves the exception to the rule. “A witty woman is a treasure, a witty beauty is a power. 4 24
