1 CLASS BOOK CHARLOTTE R. OGDEN Academic sun Laugh and grow fat. We are now looking into the face of a girl who doesn't mind telling her thoughts, regardless of or to whom she tells them. Charlotte has been faithful as Girls' Basketball Manager, also as a Gym leader, and says she is going to Temple next year. Keep up the good work, Charlotte: but before you go don't forget EDITH N. OSWALD Academic HEDYII 'Tis brttm' to br left than nrwr loved at all. Miss Oswald wishes to make your acquaintance, friends. Edith is good-looking, has many sailor friends and loves them all. She lacks the power of discrimina- tion, and so cannot single out just one. Say, Edith, would you mind explaining why one young chap has stopped calling? We're.curious. Surely no one with such an affectionate nature as yourself could quarrel. Remember the quotation at the top and don't quarrel too often, or you may be left. But never mind, Edithg think of the good time you'll have making up. You know, true love never flows smoothly. to tell us who J. W. C. I. is. C. EVELYN PEARCE Commercial EVY THE VAMP Beware of her fair hair. She excels All 'women in Ihr inagir of hvr.l0clfs, And when shc' fzcfinds thrm around a young marfs ncck She will not .wt him free again. Really when we gaze at Evy, isn't it love at first sight? That is the sentiment which pervades the Senior Class. We wouldn't be surprised if Evy went on the stage, and then-let Mary Pickford beware. When Evy came to us from West Philly High last year she won all our hearts fthat of the boys, tool with her winning ways. So, Evelyn, let the good work continue.

o CLIQSS 'aooic ELIZABETH BONSALL Commercial l There is a gift beyond the reach of art of being eloquently silent. Before you is the most silent member of the Senior Class. Her reason for remaining silent is natural, not because she has nothing to say. Her relations with the opposite sex are an unsolved mystery, but you never can tell. She is one of the fastest members of the class in typewriting. She can type more words in one minute than some people can talk. GERTRUDE C. I-IONKE Commercml 'AGERBER I'L00k, .their winding up the watch of hm wit By and by it will sM'ikv. And here's our Gertrude-so tall and stately. At times Gerber gives us some very original exhibitions and witty remarks. Her frequent utterance of ta-da found itself to be the byword of the Senior Class. We mustn't forget to add that her favorite pastime is chewing gum. She is now so efficient in this art that she can keep time with the typewriter. But with all these humorous sides of her character she's a good student, being the best typist in the Commercial Course. Gertrude's talent must surely lie in her fingers, for aside from typewriting she can make the piano talk. Ask ann' member of Darby High. They'll agree with me, I know. MURIEL O. MORRISON Commrrrial OLLIE Silence is more cloqnrnt than words. Who would dream that this little lass with the quiet, reposeful, friendly air has so much gray matter in her upper story? Muriel is the girl who seems to know her lessons without wearing out her books. Yes, you think she is quiet, but her friends disagree. No one enjoys more fun than Muriel, provided it is at the right time. But Muriel must be given credit. Remember she has won the second honor, the Salutatory. The class certainly wishes her the best of success in the future.

CLASS BOOK BERTHA E. SIMON Commercial lABERTrs ttMOMxy OfHimes doth her speech reveal The presence of the love she tries I0 conceal. Bertha was found to be almost without a nickname. Occasionally some few Seniors title her Bert, while our Class President has called her Mom since the Home and School Association sketch. Bertha is a girl seemingly quiet in school, but she's so quiet outside of Darby High that we all often won- der 'fwhen it will come off. Won't you tell us, Bertha? If you shun hearing the question asked of you, we will have to ask-well, anyway, his first initial is Fred. Much good luck and prosperity are wished to you by every Senior, both in business life and that ul life which usually interrupts a stenographer's career. Anyway, Bertha, you know what I mean. ESTHER E. SUMMERSON Commercial QUEEN ESTHERU It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. This quotation is a good one for Esther. To criticise everything is her motto. In her class work she is inclined to take shorthand and transcribe it in a very smooth manner, with many exceptions. Esther is one of the seemingly studious kind, but not at all times, and when it comes to suggestions she is right there, as shown in the classroom. But, nevertheless, we hope she succeeds in her chosen work. MAE S. WILSON Coinmercial BLONDY Keep cool and you will command everybody. Gaze upon the only undisputed blond of the class. Mae nas some very good points. She works very hard for tie class and Mr. Douthett, even staying as late as 5 o'clock to type. But, in the morning, late-if she arrived on time for a whole month straight it would be the death of the class. We hope Mae makes as great a success in her after- life as she has made in handling the secretaryship of the class. i
