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.

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.

24 Maroon and White KENNETH GROSSE 1 KEN J Lansdale, Pa. What the Puritans gave the world was not Trigonometry, but action. Born February 24, 1909. French Club 133, History Club 135, Declamation Contest 13-43, Glee Club 131, Le Cercle Francais 141. Ken has been with us since the first day of school, back in 1922, and remained with the class of '26. Ken is not as talkative as he is ambitious. We hardly hear him around the school, as he is kept busy studying, but we see him after school in the American Store waiting on customers. Ken has one great fault-his constant wandering away. This often necessitates Miss Sigafoos's calling him back to English. He is very fond of Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, that is, when he is not studying it. l We are not sure what he intends to do, but we have heard that his brother conducts a poultry farm in California and Ken is thinking of joining him. If he chooses this as his life work, We are sure that he will be successful. Good luck, Ken.
