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.

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.

Here his artistic ability, for he has some, will do him no harm. So here's wishing John and 1- the best success in life and business anyone can wish.
