Who is that tall dignified young man who is always talking cue balls and billiards? Of course you know. It is Bill Dunlap. Bill is a bright cheer- ful sort of chap and is always ready to help in anything that is going on. SYDNEY ALLEN FINKELSTEIN ■‘Sid” “Finks” What do you think of the Phillies today?” Football (3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff (2, 3, 4); Sailor Maids (4); Outing Club (4); Science Club (4); Minia- ture Lady (3). Sid is a perpetual talking machine. He gets the latest gossip in some manner before anybody in the class. But this is only surpassed by his abil- ity to bluff. Sid is an excellent stu- dent and we are sure he will succeed when he enters the portals of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. WILLIAM HAROLD GRIFFITHS “Dripp” What’s that ? ? ? Outing Club (4); Science (4); Track (3); Basketball (3, 4). Dripp is the studious boy of our class and he sure does get along with the teachers nicely. Griffy’s one am- bition is to be an aeroplane pilot. Griffv is a good sport among the fellows. MURL ALLAN GRIFFITHS “Mutt” “Gee Whiz” Baseball (3, 4); Science Club (4); Senior Play; Football (4). Manager; Outing Club (4); Sailor Maids (4). If you hear a discussion on sport going on vou are almost certain to find “Mutt in the heart of it. doing most of the talking. He is not very tall but good things come in small packages and “Mutt” is no exception. EDWARD STAR HANSELL “Ed” “What is it?” B’-ue and Gold Staff (3. 4); Foot- ball. (4); Science Club, (4); Outing Club. (4); Sailor Maids. (4). Ed is the star mathematics student in our class. In any class he is seen with his math book open and plug- ging hard. He also has pugilistic ability—ask Traill. Ed is an actor as well, which was proven by his part in the operetta, Sailor Maids. MILTON JACOBSON “Milt” “Jake” “Who’s got Latin finished ?V Football. (4); Basketball, (4); Baseball, (2, 3. 4); Oratorical Repre- sentative (3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff (3, 4); Orchestra and Band (3, 4); Outing Club, (4)j Science Club, (4): Secretary of Class (3); Treasurer of Class, (4). Milt is small but mighty. He makes up with his pow'er of speech what is missing in avoirdupois. He is a good sport and a good scholar for he ranks highest among the boys of his class. Milt runs the school bus for if anyone is going any place they usually call on Milt, especially a cer- tain young lady from Harmonvd! . WILLIAM CHARLES JENNINGS “Bill” “Corporal” “Ain’t that swell.” Science Club, (4); Outing Club, (4); Orchestra, (4). Whenever there is a funny odor in the lab you can be sure that Corporal was at the bottom of it. Bill’s first hobby was radio but he gave that up for Chemistry during his senior year. Bill's means of locomotive is a Over- land of which the class makes good use. Well, Bill we hope you drive through life as carefree as you drive your Overland. DAVID KILGOUR JOHNSTONE “‘Scotty” “That's not the way we used to do it in Scotland.” Band, (3, 4); Orchestra. (3, 4); Outing Club, (4); Science Club, (4); Miniature Lady, (3); Sailor Maids. Scotty is the comedian of the class and is always making wise re- marks. His one delight is arguing with his superiors, that is, his in- structors. Scotty wanted to foe a . poet, but after several attempts gave it up in disgust because he lacked the long, flowing hair. Dave is always cheerful and always wears a broad smile on his face. “Hoot Mon.”

Vanity, thy name is woman!” May I borrow your compact or your comb or an extra hair pin?

ALICE HOLMES POTTS “Al” “So is your old man.” Valedictorian of class, Senior Play, 4); Commercial Club, (3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff. (4).

Now, Betty, our de- cisions are, what to wear and when to wear them. So in taking up your life’s vocation be sure to include a course in art and we wish you all the success that can be attained in this profession. MARGARET ELLEN WEBB “Shorty” “Gosh” Basketball, (3, 4); Civics Club, (3); Commercial Club, (3, 4). Behold the perfect stenographer! Shorty is very studious and she also has time for fun. Her favorite pas- time in the school was playing bas- ketball and it was here that she showed her athletic ability. May suc- cess be yours whether it be athletics or in the business world. REBECCA ELIZABETH ZOOK “Beckie” “What do I care?” Glee Club, (2, 3): Gypsy Rover, (2); Miniature Lady, (3); Commercial Club, (3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff. (4).

Behold, the humor editor of the Blue and Gold! His wit and humor have won him many friends. Sam is also a good blower, for the notes of his cornet can be heard far away. We find him cheery and helpful al- though lie lacks pep to some degrees. KEMERY CYRIL KIEFFER “Kem” “Well naow,” Band, (3): Baseball, (3, 4); Sailor Maids, (4); Outing Club, (3); Orches- tra, (3); Gypsv Rover, (3); Science Club. (4). If you travel through the balls and hear something like this: “Do-do-dee -o! Yo-do-dee-o-do, you will know that Kem is somewhere in the near vicinity. Kemery is a cheerful fellow with a smile for everyone—especially the ladies and a certain lady in the Sophomore class—? NORMAN GEORGE LAWLESS “Norm” “You know how it is.” Science Club, (4j: Outing Club, 4. If you see a crowd of fellows laughing till you would think they’d be ready to die, you will know that Norm is around with his inexhaustible supply of jokes. We have yet to see him without “That smile that won’t rub off.” WILLIAM FRANK RAMSAY “YanA” “I’ll slap you down.” Science Club, (4); Outing Club. (4); Sailor Maids. (4); Senior Play. No one knew Yank could play a harmonica until he won first prize in a contest at the High School. Now everyone knows it. He can also strum a “Uke.” Yank is an all around good fellow, a willing worker and good to look upon. CHARLES WILLIAM SCHIMPF “Sniff” “Walter” “Good Laws” Miniature Lady, (3): Outing Club, (4); Gypsy Rover, (2); Football, (4). “Sniff” is the curly headed shiek of his class and is always talking of his latest conquest. We think he and the late Rudolph Valentino were on the same plane, but in spite of his numerous affairs “W’alter” is always there when there is work to be done. LEWIS MORRIS SPONAR “Lew” “Sure. I’ll do it.” Baseball, (l, 2); Basketball, (3, 4); Blue and Gold, (1, 2, 3). Lew is the tallest member of our class. He is always a “helpful hen- ery”. If there was something diffi- cult to do in school all you heard was “Let Lew do it.” Lewis was one of our February graduates and when not working, spends his time in his Dodge and with a certain party of the opposite sex. Good luck Lew. DAVID ROBERTSON TRAILL “Dave” “Dyke” “Ain’t that nice?” Football, (4): Basketball.

Traill is known to most of us as “Dyke.” Dyke is one of the most popular fellows in the school es- pecially with the opposite sex. He likes to get to school early and sit in the corner seat with his! better half. If Dave’s here, Thelma’s here and if Dave’s there, Thelma’s there. Some boy—but a good athlete and a regular fellow. JOSEPH HAROLD WALLACE “Joe” “Doc” “Yeh, I’ll say.” Football, (4); Orchestra, (::, 4); Outing Club, (4); Science Club, (4); Sailor Maids, (4): Senior Play, (4). Joe is one of the best workers in our class. There is not a thing doing but that Joe is not in it. We can not say much for Joe’s promptness in school. Ask Mr. Oerman. But when he does get there he always has a ready excuse. Joe is always cheerful and a friend of everyone. GEORGE WILSON YOUNG ‘‘Youngy” “At a boy.” Class President, (3, 4); Sailor Maids
