IA HELEN L. HIGGINS Norwood “Don't beat me Svengali, I'll sing. Helen is a rather complex person to describe. Her char- acter is so varied that words fail to do their duty in a descrip- tion. A little of the dramatic, humor, tragedy, and a cer- tain amount of the “old fight’' make Helen a person who is different. Dramatic Club, '26, '27, '28; Glee Club, '28; Operetta, ’28; Chess Club, ’26; Harmonica Club, ’26; Senior Nite, ’28; Art Club, '26. LOUIS KITTS, (Lou, 7)1S Glenolden “ In all our class there's none so fair. With his long eyelashes and curly hair. Lou is the boy who helped bring home the bacon when the championship was wanted by Glen-Nor. Lou is also one of our heroes, very able at rescuing children from falling buildings.

EDITH HAMILTON KRAUSE Glenolden “ I'm wrapped in dismal thinking. Edith is a rather quiet girl but perhaps it’s just another case where the saying “still water runs deep’’ holds true. Anyway she accomplished something in Crier, ’26; History Club, '27; Glee Club, '28; Dramatic Club, ’27, ’28; Senior Nite, ’28. VERNA KUTZ, (FaUy) v y Norwood “ 1 Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity—’ Ah, never mind, for Verna, you see, Is jollier than they could ever be. Besides being jolly, Verna is a great success at handling tickets, and you can see by her record that she must be a success in other things also.

Artistic Eleanor, the stage decorator, and general woman of all work when anyone wants posters or other art work, cer- tainly deserves credit right here and now. Doing stage scenery is no joke and about the most unappreciated of any work in connection with operettas, but “ There, there, little girl, we didn’t know you cared.’’ A. A.

GERTRUDE MAKJOKIEfDAVIS Norwood “ Her theory is: Music soothes the savage breast.” Gertrude is one of our many musicians as may be perceived. She is steady and just another student who has worn a path of her own on the beloved gray floors of our Alma Mater.

V MARY BLAIR EDGAR, (Ed) Glenolden “Mary's not too serious, Nor she's not too gay. ‘ The Happy Medium’ ” Mary is the class flirt, Cleo’s only rival. Outside of that classification she is hard to place, as she can act, sing, write and do most anything, as her record shows, (dee Club, ’25, ’26, '27, '28; Operetta, '26, ’27, ’28; Dramatic Club, '25, ’26, 27, ’28; Play, ’26; Library Club ’28; Extemp Contest, ’28; Class Play, ’27, ’28; Crier, ’27; News-Crier, ’28; Banking ( lub, ’28; Speech, ’28; Senior Nite, ’28; Annual, '28; Speed Club, ’28; Class Secretary, ’28. IN A MAE FOSTER Norwood “Of talent quite a bit, and quite ready, too, of wit.(?)“ We think Ina should be twins, no one person should have so much beauty, grace and talent all at once and get away with it. Ina’s dancing alone should get her into the lime- light; her personality and grace will keep her there, (dee Club, ’26, ’27, '28, President ’28; Operetta, '26, ’27, ’28; Class Treasurer, ’27, ’28; Class Play, ’27; Senior Nite, ’27, ’28; Crier, '26; Harmonica Club, '26; Dramatic Club, ’26, '27, '28; Art Club, ’26; Senior Orchestra, ’28; Cheerleader,’28. VIOLET HENRIETTA HAGENKOTTER Glenolden “Like a violet, modest and unassuming.” Violet is another quiet girl who doesn’t act “squirrelly” with the main bunch of Seniors, but then the happy-go- lucky crowd needs some people to hold them down, ('amp Cookery Club, ’25; Dramatic Club, ’26; Harmonica C lub, 27; Needlework Club, ’27; Glee Club, ’28. (J IRMA LAVERTY HAZZARD Norwood 41 An artist, if there ever was one.” Perhaps Irma couldn’t do much with a brush and palette but she certainly can tickel the ivories as the school realizes, or should, by now. Irma is indispensible when it comes to assemblies, etc. Glee ('lub, ’26, ’27, ’28; Boys’ Glee Club- accompanist,’27; Dramatic Club,’25,’26,’27,’28; Orchestra ’28; Senior Nite, ’28.

 ESTELLE MARGARET LUTZ Norwood 11 Iler voice was ever soft, an excellent thing in women.” Estelle joined the happy throng near the beginning of our Senior year and although rather quiet, she managed to gain a niche in our private hall of fame by the complete victory she made of one of our esteemed Seniors. Senior Nite, '28. MARGARET ANNA MacILWAIN, (Peg) Norwood “A smile, a giggle, a laugh outright, will tell you Peggy is in sight.” 1 he class just wouldn’t be complete without Peggy. She’s the happy medium between the absolutely squirrelly and the solemn sophisticated groups which compose our class. Peg is the one who has algebra down pat, and it comes in handy to have at least one member of our class who can see head or tail to such.stuff. Glee Club, '28; Dramatic Club, ’27, '28. Play.

She is going to take up housekeeping after garduation. Marriage? No, just house- keeping for her father. Glee Club, '25, '28; Basketball, '27, ’28; Dramatic Club, '25. '26, '27, '28; History Club, '27; Senior Nite, '28; Class Play, '28. MARGUERITE GLADYS MENDENHALL Norwood “Studious as well as companionable.” Marguerite is one of those who helps to keep the Senior ('lass on the level highway. If it weren’t for these people we’re afraid we’d be up in the air most of the time. Glee Club, ’28; Dramatic Club, ’26, ’27, ’28; History Club. '27. y J JOHN WILLIAM O'DONNELL, (Johnnie) Glenolden ‘‘ I have never allowed my studies to interfere with my education.” Well, Johnny, old boy, we wish you luck, you’ve waded through the years with us, laughed, cried and played with us, and we know you'll make a name for us. No play or operetta is complete without Johnny. He’s a hero among men, although he met his defeat at the hands of our able “Pirate”. .Manager Football, '28; Dramatic Club, '26, '27, ’28, Play, ’26, ’27, Vice-President, '28; Class Vice-President, '28; Class Play, ’27, '28; Glee Club, '27, '28; Operetta, ’27, ’28; Baseball, ’26, ’28; A.
