22 Maroon and White MARIAN CATHERINE GROSS 1 DUTCH 5 Lansdale, Pa. A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial coaocing way she had. Born February 22, 1910. Reading High: Music Club 125, Dramatic Club 125, L. H. S. His- Eari Club 135, Latin Club 135, School Play 145, Librarian 145, Katty lu 45. Marian, or Dutch as we call her, joined us in our Junior year, coming from Reading High School. She seemed very quiet, but upon fur- ther acquaintance she dispelled this idea. She soon became the noisiest in the Katty Klub. If we hear the expressions For crying out and I hope we always know that Marian is in the near vicinity. Dutch is very popular, especially with the opposite sex. On account of this she has earned the title of the Dutch Vamp from Read- mg. Dutch has never gone out for athletics, but if she had, we feel sure that she would have been as successful in that as she is in the class room. Marian plans to take up teaching as her life work, but we doubt if she will pursue this vocation very long, because she shows a great prefer- ence for the last letter in the alphabet and for the name George. As a teacher--or otherwise-we wish her all the luck in the world, knowing that she deserves it.

Maroon and White 21 ELEANORE GLADYS GREENHOLT 1 EGGIE 1 Lansdale, Pa. Eggie is clever, witty, and true: If you stay with her you can never be blue. Born April 6, 1909. Student Council 11-31, Class Editor 121, Biology Club 121, History Club 131, Glee Club 12-3-41, School Play 141, Librarian 141, Le Cercle Francais 141, Debating Team 141, Class Song. Eleanor is a strong supporter of the little red school house, and the back to the farm movement. Almost as soon as she appeared in L. H. S. someone discovered that her initials were E. G. G., and she has been Eggie ever since, much to her personal discomfiture. However, Eggie bears this burden with a smile, like every other. Eleanor is a very versatile young lady. She can play the piano and mandolin, and can singg she writes poetry and stories, she has won sev- eral distinctions in the public speaking line, among them being the posi- tion on the Debating Team. Eggie is fond of swimming, too, and she adores acting the dignified lady 1but don't let her kid you1. Eleanor is going to Wilson College, which is destined to become famous by virtue of being her Alma Mater. Later, Eggie expects to be a language teacher. We are sure her pupils will be trained to perfec- tion, and we envy them the many hours spent with our old pal, Eggie.

M owoon and White 23 MARIAN O. GROSS C GROSSY J Lansdale, Pa. 'AHale and hearty, always jolly, A good fellow well met- Born October 7, 1908. Class Basketball ill, 'Varsity Q3-41, Glee Club C1-2-3-41, Commer- cial Club f3J, High School Play C3-41, Manager Basketball Team 141. Marian, better known to all as Grossy, is a charter member of the class of '26. She is well-known and liked by all because she is always jolly and full of fun. She is always present when good times are in sight. Her favorite pastime is planning pranks in which others become her victims, and in return always takes her medicine good-naturedly. Grossy has shown great ability as a guard during her Junior and Senior years while playing on the 'Varsity team. Ask those who saw her play, they can tell you. She is the only Senior girl possessing that honor. Marian proved to be a good manager this year. Marian has also been a member of the Glee Club during her four years in high school. Marian intends to be Somebody's Stenog or a nurse, Well, she may for a while, but not very long because she has shown a fondness for those of the opposite sex. During the summer she spends her spare time along the Unami Creek. We are wondering what the attraction is. But whatever she attempts, we wish her the best of success.
