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. Football, '23, ’24. 26; Basketball, ’23, ’25. ’26; Glee Club. ’26; Glen-Nor News, ’26. 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.

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. Roma doesn’t have to work on any other lessons, but we think that she doesn’t admire that old Roman poet. It doesn’t affect the honor roll, tho, does it. “Auntie”?

THE “SESQUI” ANNUAL 11 JAMES FAULKNER “Soap” “Jim” Norwood, Pa. “The personification of all things foolish.” Let not your hearts flutter at sight of this hand- some countenance, ladies, for Jim’s specialty is breaking hearts. Another of his hobbies is making luckless batters strike out. Soap is always engaged in one or the other of these activities. Baseball. 23. '24. ’25, ’26; Glee Club, 25, 26; Dramatic Club, 26; Football. ’23, ’24. ’25, ’26. ALBERT GYSLING “Al” Norwood, Pa. “Silence is organized common sense. Ah, Ha! Not always!” Another silent bird! How he got in our class is a mystery. Another is, how he could stay with us. He never speaks of his plans, but we know they are ambitious, and are sure he will succeed. You can’t keep a good man down! Football, ’23, ’24, 25, 26; Glen-Nor News, 26; Property Committee of Senior Play. WILLIAM HAZELL “Bill” Norwood, Pa. “What makes me so wonderful?” It isn’t hard to answer this question. Our per- sonal opinion is that it is the association with vari- ous brilliant people in the Senior Class. Of course, his looks and personality have something to do with it. too. But the fact remains—Bill is wonderful. May some one always think so! Football. ’25. ’26; Basketball. ’25. ’26; Dramatic Club, ’26; Operetta. 26; Junior Play.

JR. ‘ Hcppy” “Charley” Glenolden, Pa. “When I loves, I loves for keeps— I lies my victims up in heaps.” Don’t you think that this boy looks brave? And yet he is awfully afraid of being teased. That’s why we’re being so careful here. Charles is an- other orator, and his debates are truly inspiring. I hat s why he’s such a good class president. Foot- ba.II. 23. ’25.
