ETHEL MAE NASH Ethel is that little blonde girl with the big blue eyes. Ethel loves to dance and she must include acting in that category for she was very a faithful member of the Dramatic Club. She followed her interest in commercial subjects by joining the Commercial Club. Ethel belonged to the Library Club and helped out in her vacant periods. If you had heard the English class listen to her interesting talks in the Pickwick Club, you would have realized that Ethel is both interesting and attractive in her Dresden China way. “She is pretty to walk with and pleasant to think on. LEHTE ARTHUR CHARLES NEUMANN, JR. Weldon certainly gave Abington something when they handed Ait to us. His cjueer keen sayings make him liked by all. Art toots a mean horn in the band and he makes you sit up and take notice when he plays the saxophone as he did on Class Night. We might here say that Art has his own ideas as to how the “St. Louis Blues” should be played. Naturallv, with all this ability. Art is a prominent member of the Orchestra. The Science. Nature, and Math clubs also claim him. Art’s most famous achievement, however, was the interview which he got with the A’s right after they won the world championship. Art handed the interview to the Oracle but kept the thrill to himself. “.1 laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. TKA ETTA DORIS OBERHOLTZER Four years ago. a walking chuckle came from (ilenside-Weldon Grammar School to Abington. Etta, it seems, had a weakness for plays, for no sooner had she entered than she was in the cast of Seventeen, and during the course of her career, played in the Christmas Surprise and Leave it to Jane. Etta’s popularity and ability are the outstanding characteristics of her high school life. Her clubs, Latin, Debating, Dramatic, French. Interims, and Library, certainly show diversified ability, and she is a charter member of the Junior Fourth Estate. Of course everv one knows also, that she is editor-in-chief of a blue-ribbon Oracle. Etta has proved one of the snappiest rebuttal speakers on the negative debating team, for her charming | er-sonality and emphatic delivery doubled the value of her clever speeches. This is Etta, for she knows w hat she wants, and goes about getting it in the right way. J She that yon soars on Golden Wing, not just in studies but everything. ATTE JUNE, 19 JO 29

NORMAN WESLEY McDERMOND This quiet fellow, who has so faithfully played the violin in the Orchestra, has a good hit of talent hidden behind that exterior of his. Resides being a member of the Nature, Spanish and Science clubs, Norm assists the singing each morning as a member of the Choir. Norm also has a hobby for drawing—in fact, the more you find out about Norman, the more you find there is to find out. Sounds like a riddle, doesn’t it but get acquainted with Norman and you’ll find the answer. “ No speech is so eloquent as that of music. ” MARY JOSEPHINE McNEAL Mary came in with sails flying in 1026, and she hasn’t furled them yet. For she has been busy, what with being a lively member of the Latin, Dramatic, Spanish and Library clubs and furthermore, being present every day for seven and one-half years! Think that over. Mary hopes to be a trained nurse, and we can say at least that her patients w ill never suffer through her absence from duty. She is sure to cheer them up in her happy way. “In her very quietness is charm.” AUBREY BASIL MULLEY “Fore!—look out, Aubrey. That ball almost hit you.” Aubrey, as you might guess, is interested in golf. I le eats it, sleeps it, dreams it, and in fact, wants to be a professional so that he can live it. In 1928, Aubrey was a member of the only golf team Abington ever had. He has also belonged to the Vocational Club for four years. Now that he has been graduated, we wait patiently and expectantly for developments in the golf line. “So much is a man worth as he esteems himself.” AUB BETTY 28 THE ORACLE

MABEL MARGARET OBERHOLTZER As Mabel was a member of the French Club, we can honestly use petite to describe her. Mabel has quite a lot of ability in the dancing line—if you want to see some real stepping, just drop in and observe Mabel. Mabel also belonged to the renowned Latin Club and the helpful Library Club. Mabel found time to attend meetings of the Commercial and Swimming clubs. You seldom meet Mabel without Ethel whose blonde hair is a perfect foil for Mabel’s brunette beauty. “ Light of step and heart was she. ” MABEL CONRAD SITTNER OSWALD ft ( onnie came to us front Abington Grammar in This peppy and exceedingly talkative youu|f T» in imn eAtfely proceeded to join the Latin and Glee cluly.Lprcy-i h )p)h?r Spanish club meetings, and protect the money elojl igto the Commercial and Dramatic clubs.

CONNIE WILLIAM DAWSON PARKHOCSE Doggie pulled in on the Abington High School siding in 1926, from Abington Grammar School. Now here we have an active constituent of the Commercial, Dramatic and Science clubs, one of the musicians in the Band and a member of the Student Council,—Doggie himself —with curly hair, such a pleasing smile, and all these activities to his credit! You certainly have noticed the man behind the drumsticks in the Band—well, that was Doggie in a musical mood. 11A merry heart tnaketh a cheerful countenance. doc.oie 30 THE ORACLE
