THE “SESQUI” ANNUAL 13 FREDERICK KNELL “Fritz” “Freddy” Norwood, Pa. “Happy am I, from care I’m free, Why aren’t you all contented like me? Our class certainly received an addition when Frankford High School lost our “Freddy.” With- out him, where could we have gotten a hero for our Operetta? Who would have argued with Miss Roberts; who would—? But we haven’t space to enumerate all Fred’s activities, so we’ll stop. Here's to your success, Fred! Football. '25. '26; Baseball. '26; Tennis. ’26; Editor-in-Chief of Crier, ’26; Glee Club. ’25. ‘26; Dramatic Club. ’25. '26; Annual Board. Operetta, ’25, ’26. HERBERT LANCASTER “Herb” Glenolden, Pa. “Good things come in little packages. Somehow, with two tall brothers, Herb managed to be short. His lack of height helps him in basket- ball. though, because Herb is one of the fastest players on the floor. Herb is an example of what the correct mental attitude will do. and so, if Mr. Huber is to be trusted, he should win laurels in the big world. Basketball, ’25. ’26; Crier. ’26; Property Committee for Junior Play. THOMAS LANCASTER “Tommy” Glenolden, Pa. “If it's true that still water runs deep, We’d drown in Tommy’s silence. Tommy is one of our silent boys who helps by saying nothing, to balance the talkativeness of the Senior girls. Tommy should succeed as a furniture heaver, because he is always active as property man for our plays. Radio Club. ’25; Dramatic Club, ’26; Crier, '25; Property Committee of Plays, ’25, ’26; Glen-Nor News, ’26. SYLVIA LEVIT “Syl” “Sugar” Collingdale, Pa. “Her smile is worth a thousand frowns in any market. Sylvia is the biggest tease in the Senior Class. In fact, more than one unfortunate in the class, has had occasion to rue her propensity for creating nick- names. We all like Syl’s originality, tho, as well as her good-humor that no one can disrupt. Syl also claims the honor (?) of being our class baby. Glee Club, ’24, ’25; Dramatic Club. ’24, ’25, ’26; De- bating Club. ’25, 26; French Club, ’26; Crier, 25, ’26.

12 GLEN NOR HIGH SCHOOL ALBERT HOGUET “Bud” “Luke” Norwood, Pa. “A man who speaks for himself.” Bud has one of the most cheerful dispositions we have ever tried to destroy. Even Miss Scholl, with her daily lectures about his knowledge, or lack of knowledge, of French can’t get him angry. But keeps everybody else in a good humor, too, thus pre- venting the “cats” from having anv effect. Baseball. '23. ’24. ’25; Football. 23, ’24. ’25, 26; Basketball. ’23, ’24. ’2b; Dramatic Club, ’26; Kincomatographic Club. ’26; Glee Club, ’25. JOHN HOLMS “The Duke” “Johnny” Collingdale, Pa. ”1 have never allowed my studies to interfere with my education.” We think we have discovered perpetual motion at last—Johnny’s mouth. No. John doesn’t talk, but he does chew gum. Johnny, we’re afraid you’ll never be a millionaire; besides, you’ll ruin the furniture. Dramatic Club. ’26; Crier, ’26; Property Committee for Junior Play. HELEN KENNY “Helene” Norwood, Pa. “A girl who is ever loyal and true. A girl who is ever a friend to you.” Helen is one of the few members of the class who has helped justify our teachers’ opinion that we are the best class they have ever taught. She has had to work hard. too. to uphold this reputation. French Club, ’26; Chess Club, ’26; Crier, '26; Senior Play. WILHELMINA KLEINE “Mina” Norwood, Pa. “Softly her fingers wander o’er The yielding planks of the ivory floor.” Added to our collection of athletes, cave-women, etc., we have Mina, the class musician. Mina’s fingers get lots of work, too, because it is to her playing that we march from our exalted seats “up front” to our room, after assembly. Glee Club, ’25, ’26; Accompanist for School, 25, 26; Needle Art Work Club, ’26; Accompanist for Boys’ Glee Club.

14 GLEN NOR HIGH SCHOOL MARION LOMBARD “Billie” Glenolden, Pa. “Popular, gay and friendly is she; Where Marion is, there we’d like to be. Here you have our “Queen of Sports”—we almost added “Queen of Hearts.” The first term is explained by a glance below; the second, by a glance at an- other biography. We don’t want you to compare notes, so we won’t say anything more. Basketball. ’23. ’24. ’25, ’26; Track, ’24, ’25, ’26; Tennis, ’25, ’26; Glee Club, 24. ’25, ’26; Orchestra, ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Senate, ’25, ’26. KATHRYN McGUIRE “Casey” Norwood, Pa. “Working always to help others work.” “Casey” is the eighth wonder of the world, “the peeveless” girl. Never have we known her anything but cheerful. Perhaps, in the privacy of her home when her hair won’t curl, or her buttons come off, she mutters wicked things under her breath. But if this is so. the whispers arc very low, we’re sure. Dramatic Club, '25, '26; Glee Club, 25, ’26; Crier. ’25, '26; Senior Play. FRANCES McHALE “Fanny” Norwood, Pa. “In her tongue Is the law of kindness.” Fanny is going to be one of the most successful women we know. She says that she is a man-hater, and as we have always held that men are the most unnecessary things in the universe, Fanny should get on without them well. Our one fear is that she’ll weaken and change her mind. Dramatic Club, ’24. '25. 26; Art Needle Work Club, ’26; Glee Club, ’25! 26; Crier, ’26; Operetta. ’26. EVALYN MEGONIGAL “Reds” “Eva” Folcroft, Pa. “The brightest head in all the class.” Here’s the exception that proves the rule that girls with red hair have a fiery temper. Even George and Fred in their worst moments can’t manage to disturb the even tenor of her ways. Eva has started an “Old Maid’s Club. Anyone wishing to join may see her. but—this is a warning—the rules are ex- ceptionally strict. Dramatic Club, ’24, ’25, ’26; De- bating Club, ’25; French Club, ’26.
