THE “SESQUI” ANNUAL 9 RUTH BOURN “Ruthie” Glenolden, Pa. “Silence, dainty ways— And things sweet, combined in a little maid.” Ruth is so demure that one never knows just what thoughts are going under that mass of golden hair. But why bother about the inside? Ruthie's tip-tiltecl nose and quiet smile tell just what she thinks about the world. We’re for you. Ruth! De- bating Club, ’24. ’25, ’26; Dramatic Club, ’26; Junior Play. SAMUEL BROOKS “Sammie” Glenolden, Pa. “And he learned about women from her. Sam is one of the boys who has prevented the Senior Class from attaining any Athletic laurels. (Please don’t look below at his activities). Inci- dentally it doesn’t take Sam long to learn things— we daren’t explain, however, for we were told not to be catty. Basketball. '23. '24. '25, ’26; Baseball. '23. '24. '25, ’26; A. A.

Pauline has one ambition in life—that is to uphold the honor of the Calhouns. So far. we think that she has more than succeeded, for Pauline is one of the cleverest members of the class. We have never seen Pauline in a bad humor, even when asked if she likes French. (She doesn’t). Basketball, ’25, ’26; Debating Club.

ROMA CHAPMAN “Auntie” Glenolden, Pa. “Ever loyal, ever true To any task she has to do. And Roma’s chief task is getting her Virgil done on time.

8 GLEN NOR HIGH SCHOOL OSCAR BAILEY “Oc” Glenolden, Pa. “Always working, dodging work. There is no danger of Oc ever being out of work, because we are sure that any circus would be glad to have him. A clown who played the mouth-organ would be awfully effective, and Oc has become very proficient by serenading Miss Roberts. Football 26; Basketball. ’24. 26; Baseball.

DOROTHY BARLOW “Dottie” Glenolden, Pa. “Those who paint her truest, praise her” Dot has always been an indefatigable worker for all the affairs that the Seniors have given. Even if we have to trudge the tracks to Washington, Dot should have a private car. Glee Club. '23. '24; Dra- matic Club, '25, '26; Speed Club, ‘26; Junior Play. Senior Play. DAVID BEHRENS “Dave” Glenolden, Pa. “Love me, love my car.” It isn’t hard to like Dave’s car cither, because one is guaranteed at least two thrills a minute when driving with him. Dave is the International News Corp., too, and is sure to become one of the best advertisers in the United States. By the way Dave likes red bats. Track, ‘25. ‘26; Football. ‘25, ‘26; Junior Play; Senior Play; Glen-Nor News, ‘25, ‘26. HOWARD BORTON “Bort” Norwood, Pa. “Who Can believe thee? For thou hast guile above that of all others.” Howard even manages to fool one by his looks. He isn't nearly as angelic as one might think, ancf we could mention several examples to prove this. We’ll only content ourselves with asking if you’ve heard about the “natural steam craters. Orchestra. 24, '25. '26; Glee Club. ‘25, ’26; Dramatic Club, ‘26; Senior Play; Crier, ’26.

10 GLEN NOR HIGH SCHOOL JOSEPH CLEARY ‘-Joe ’ Norwood, Pa. “Argument Is the spice of life, and Joe likes his life well seasoned. Did you know that Joe is a blossoming newspaper writer? No? Then perhaps, you haven’t identi- fied “llotsy-Totsy” as this Senior journalist. Joe’s one joy is in arguing with Miss Phillips, but we are too diplomatic to tell you who wins.

VIOLA COUTANT “Coutie” Glenolden, Pa. “Coutie pounds a wicked typewriter key; She knows the keyboard rrom A to Z.” Oh yes, Coutie will some day be “Somebody’s Stenog?’ At least, she intends to be, which may or may not be the same thing! Come to us for a recommendation, Coutie. We’ll say you’re honest —’cause we don’t think you've misappropriated the class finances. Basketball, ’26; Dramatic Club, ’24, ’25, ’26; Senior Play; Crier, ’25, ’26. LILLIAN DAVISON “Lil” Norwood, Pa. “I want a man, a real man.” We think “Lil” will get him too, because as you can see by the purposeful look in her eyes, she is very determined. Whenever you hear Lil’s laugh anywhere, try to find her. for she is a positive cure for “blues.” Basketball. ’23. ’24. ’25, ’26; Glee Club, 25, ’26; Dramatic Club, '25, ’26; Senate, ’25; Op- eretta, ’25, ’26; Crier, ’26. WILLIAM DENNEY ‘Bill” Glenolden, Pa. “His speech is winged with flames of fire. For Bill's the original ‘Glen-Nor Crier’.” Bill is our orator. If you have never heard him give the Gettysburg Address in his chesticst tones, arms gesturing appropriately, then you have yet to hear it given well. Bill is a conscientious Virgil student, working out the notes in the back of the book more often than docs Miss Scholl herself.
