THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Fifteen know much about he.r Her favorite pastime seems to be studying, but who can tell! Still waters run deep. JOHANNAH BROWN “Jo “Don’t bother me.” Commercial Club, (3). Jo” is also a commercial student. Wc do not hear much of her because she is one of the quiet members of the Senior Class. However she may be here counting up figures in bookkeep- ing early in the morning. As this seems to be her specialty we hope that she will make a good bookkeeper for someone in future years. CATHERINE MARTHA CAMP- BELL “Kitty” “How mad” Commercial Club, (3, 4). Very quiet and dignified in class, but we are all wondering—what about when she gets out. Catherine is one of our expert typists. She cer- tainly keeps us stepping. ELLA LOUISA CAMPBELL “Lu” “Aw, go on!” Glee Club, (1, 2. 3); Gypsy Rover. (2); Miniature Lady, (3); Sailor Maids, (4); Commercial Club, (3, 4). Louisa is happy go lucky and al- ways cheerful; nothing ever seems to bother her. She loves to dance and go to Country Clubs. Her one am- bition is to be someone’s private sec- retary. We wish her luck. ROSE KEYS DE HAVEN “Dazy Potts” “Lizzy Fritz” “How come?” Latin Club. (3); Sailor Maids, (4). Rose has serious moments, but then she often surprises us by an outburst of humor. Rose always goes to the games and is a good rooter. There is a reason—a pitcher on a team is al- ways interesting. POLLY ANNA DIPALLO “Poll” “Don’t bother me.” History Club, (3); English, (1, 2); Biology Club, (2). Polly was always a good student and she is very ambitious. She likes typing and hopes to be a private sec- retary. SARA A.NN DOUGLASS '“Susy” “Gosh” Gypsy Rover, (2); History Club, (4); English Club, (1, 2); Biology Club, (2); Commercial Club, (3, 4). “Susy,” is a very active member of the Commercial Class who is always ready to show you why she was right in her arguments. We need a few more like her to keep things moving generally. EDITH OGDEN FERRIER “Toot” “You’re dern tooting” Corresponding secretary of class, (4); Gypsy Rover, (2); Miniature Lady. (3) ; Sailor Maids, (4); Senior Play, (4) : Commercial Club, (3, 4); English Club, (3); Basketball, (2). “Tooty” the actress. She has been our leading lady in the last two operettas. We wonder, Tooty, if you soon will be a certain young man’s leading lady? You understand, don’t you? Tooty is very witty and funny. She is known in our class for her clever expressions, taking ways, and a giggler. Tooty is also a good worker and willing to help, anyone at any time. DOROTHY ELIZABETH GRIF- FITHS “Dot” “For goodness’ sake, what next?” Gypsy Rover, (2); Sailor Maids, (4); Commercial Club, (3); English Club, (3). Dot’s diversions are tall blonde boys and good looking cars. Dot, we often wonder who it will be tonight. Dot is always out for a good time, and her lessons are the least of her wor- ries. The class wishes you lots of luck in your future love affairs. THELMA EVELYN HALLMAN “Tel” Did you see Dyke?” Commercial Club, (3, 4 ); Sailor Maids. (4); Senior Play, (4). This is the brown-eyed young lady who always occupies the other half of the back seat in room 6, referred to a few pages ahead under the writeup of a handsome young “swimmer-friend.” Oh, yes, she forgot to do her lessons today, but she always manages to have them finished when called for.

Page Fourteen the blue and gold cations; second, the endeavor to or- ganize effective moral and civic in- struction; third, the provision made for varying instructions so as to meet the varying needs of pupils that are due to individual differences in capacities, in economic status, and in plans for a career; fourth, the tendency to meas- ure accurately the results of instruc- tion by precise, objective, scientific methods as a means of testing its value, instead of relying on the vague and improved opinions of theories or of untrained observers. All of these factors have been topics actively discussed in the last decade and they will probably be effectively provided for in the ordinary element- ary schools in the next quarter of a century. These tendencies together with the new methods of study open for the school pupil a vast field of what I term “golden opportunities.” Are we able to grasp these opportunities and realize what we are doing? We, fellow classmates, have progressed so far in our educational pursuits. It is now that the turning point in our life takes place. All the things that de- mocracy has opened in our education- al system should guide us in making a wise decision. God grant that it be given us. Milton Jacobson ’27 Who's Who Most Brilliant .........

(4); Orchestra. (1. 2. 3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff. (1, 2). “Rae is an all-around sport and another of our jolly commercial stu- dents. You never see “Rae” around school except she has a smile for vou. Her music ability has probably helped to make her so. She is a very fine piano player and the orchestra will miss her when she leaves school. We wish her all the success possible for further advancement in music. KATHERINE IRENE BRACK “Kit” “I don’t care.” Glee Club, (3); Miniature Lady. (3); Science Club. (4). Katherine is quiet and dignified. She doesn t say much so we do not

Page Sixteen THE BLUE AND GOLD Thelma is some sport when she plays basketball and there is sure to be a knockout in the game. Here’s to your future happiness. ETHEL ELIZABETH HEISLER “Ets” “Heisler” “Wait a minute.” Gypsy Rover, (2); Commercial Club, (3, 4); Biology Club, (1); Glee Club, (2); History Club, (3); English Club, (1, 2); Basketball, (1, 2, 3. 4. Captain). Ethel is our girl athlete, and was the captain of the girls basketball team which she led through many victories. Ethel has two great faults: she is very talkative and she loves to giggle. Here’s wishing you luck in your position as private secretary. May you always aim to please. FRANCES ELAINE KING “Kingy”’ “O, there goes the .............” Gypsy Rover, (2): Glee Club. (3); Sailor Maids, (4); Senior Play, (4); Basketball, (2, 3, 4). Behold our star guard of the girls’ basketball team! Kingy has another favorite pastime besides playing bas- ketba’l, that is driving the “Chevy.” We are wondering, Kingy, what you will be doing one year from now. Let's hope you will continue y our achievement as a basketball player and we wish you lots of luck. MARY VERENE LEE “Billy” “Can you imagine that?” Glee Club (2, 3); Basketball. (4). Mary is a member of the Senior Class who keeps us stepping. She certainly can do the Charleston and is always willing to give a demonstra- tion. Because she is so tall, she ac- quired fame as a center on our girls’ hasketba’l team. This is a good factor in your life, Mary, and may it. be a benefit to you. GLADYS MARIE LAVERTY “Glad” “You don’t mean it.” Commercial Club, (3, 4); History Club. ( 4): English Club, (1. 2); Glee Club, (2): Gypsy Rover, (2). It seems as though Gladys prefers to keep house rather than run a type- writer. We wonder why. We hope, Gladys, that you make a success of it. Gladys is another one of our high Seniors who is always giggling and when she is around everyone is sure to know' it. DOROTHY MARGUERITE LINK “Dot” “Oh Heavens” Gypsy Rover, 2; Commercial Club, (3, 4); English Club, (l); History Club, (3); Glee Club, (2); Biology Club. (2). Dot is another of our February students therefore, we have not seen very much of her during her Senior year, but we hear at various times about her success in the business world and her ambition—Red Hair Boys. Dot was always an excellent shorthand student and is sure of great success in life. GLADYS MARIE MA.CMULLEN “Glad” “Good Heavens” English Club, (2); Commercial Club, (3, 4); Oratorical Contest, (4); Senior Play. (4). Gladys’ one and only ambition is to become a commercial teacher some day. She always has her shortmand and other lessons finished and so we are sure that she will make a good teacher. Not only because of her studious nature, but also because of her pleasant disposition and always a willing worker for Conshohocken High School. May success be yours from the Class of 1927. CLARA DOROTHY MARKS “Clara” “Hey, who's finished Business Eng- lish?” Civics Club, (l); Commercial Club, (3, 4); Sailor Maid (4); English Club, (2). Clara is always ready to explain to the teacher just why she did not get the third word in the second para- graph, or just why she forgot to do her homework. Her favorite pastime is typing for awards. She is now hitting sixty-five words per minute on all sixes. Here’s luck to you, Clara'
