ALBERT WALTER ZACKEY, JR. Oh, what a man is our own Albert Zackey! A1 just burst into Abington High School one day in old '27 from Highland School. Immediately his athletic ability popped forth on the tennis court and soccer field. He fell not only for athletics but for musical activities as well. And by the way, you should hear him at the console! We heard A1 warbling at Glee Club rehearsals as well as in the operetta, Sapoleon Saps. We knew Albert as a member of the Spanish Club. Yes A1 has still another talent—can he argue? '‘His heart is open u-hen his tongue is loosed. WE’RE LEAVING We’re leaving the place of our school days, The teachers and friends we held dear; We're leaving and going our own way With handshakes and even a tear. For some there's a pathway of flowers; For others, there's mist in the skies; For some, there are sunshiny bowers; That bring only joy to their eyes. We'll set up our goal on the summit And climb, though the pathway be steep; And if some grow faint and stray from it. We'll try to smile and not weep. We'll think of those dear, happy school days— Old memories locked tight in each heart— Were sad as we travel life’s highway To think that all good friends must part. Agnes K. Greener, ’31.

SARA GHEEN AMBLER You would just know that any one whose name is Sara would be Sally to her friends, and certainly such a happy cheerful pal is Sally Ambler. Sally has been a member of the Latin, French, Dramatic, Reading and Hi-Y clubs. Her chief athletic interest has been hockey, in which she has won her numerals and monogram. Sally also took part in the Senior Play and made a most realistic “Olga”. She has friends, friends, and still more friends. Every day Sara can be seen at the desk in the hall, serving her school. “ I kind heart which speaks in her actions.” JAMES GORDON BAILEY Even though Jim likes to take things easy and have a good time, there is one thing he likes better. That is basketball. In his position as forward, he has thrilled many an onlooker with his fast playing and beautiful shots. In this sport, James showed what he was really made of by his interest, steadiness, and ability. Moreover, Jim has had time to go out for track and enter into the activities of the Science Club. If you really want to know what Jim is like, you should make his acquaintance. “ Full of action, full of manly pride and friendship. GEORGE PENNOCK BASSETT, Who hasn’t seen that tall, slender, red-haired fellow walking through the halls or kicking a soccer ball far into the opponents’ territory. George is cjuiet and unassuming, and once you are acquainted with him. you can discover what a good friend he is. The Nature and later the Science C lub interested Cieorge, and so did the Math and Spanish clubs. But his favorite sport is soccer and he has contributed his support to that hardy sport for several years. George will be remembered for his subtle wit and good humor. “ Taller than a tree. DORIS ELEANOR BINDRIM “ Doris, will you do this—or that?” She’s always there, eager to work and help. Doris has taken part in nearly every activity promoted by the school. This includes the Student Council, the Honor Roll. Hi-Y Latin. Reading, French, Debating and Dramatic Clubs. Because of her, never-tiring energy, Doris was elected Premier of the French C lub and hirst Consul of the Latin Club. As for dramatics, we’ll all remember her as the heroine of the Senior Play. Doris can write such interesting, outstanding articles that her pen won for her a place on the Ahingtonian staff and a membership in the Junior Fourth Estate. Yet Doris is never satisfied unless she has a pretzel. If she ever refused a pretzel—well, the heavens would fall!!! “ Maiden of the laughing eyes. June, 1 931 27
