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

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.

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.

CLASS BOOK FRANKLIN BEACHER Commercial BEACH BETER He will jib, sir, with such a 'zfolubility that you would think truth never existed. Franklin is of the you'd-be-surprised sort. He's all right in school, but when he gets with a girl-? He is exactly like a victrola--perfectly quiet until you get him started, and he usually gets a spell when the Seniors are taking a speed test. But Beach is a good sport. Why, didn't he buy us all a 5-cent bar of choco- late one day last September? We nearly dropped dead with the excitement, and frightened the poor boy so that we haven't had as much as a stick of peppermint from him since. EDWARD J. BUTLER Academic EDDIE BUTS He hath both patience and endurance. Folks, this bright young chap is our classmate, Ed Butler. Eddie's had rather hard luck in his high school career. It was in his junior year that the major- ity of his misfortunes appeared in the shape of a hard fall while playing football for the D. H. S. But that is all over now, and Eddie is on the road to rapid recovery. His classmates wish him the best 0' luck. ' HUBERT GRITN Academic Never mind, Beter We wish you lots of luck UGREFNIE STAR Nonsense nova and then 1r pleasant Friends, meet Mr Hubert Green Hes the wit of our class. A jolly good fellow and gay, but he d'iesn't believe in studying because of the work attachec' to it. Maybe he doesn't hate the guy that invented work. Hubert uses each day Crather late in the day, thoughj hoping they have shot the guy, but he's always disap- pointed. Gosh hang it! Hubert also has a fondness for curls. Ask Evelyn- she knows.
