DONALD H. CRESSMAN lIDonl! Lansdale, Pa.-january l9, l9l6 lJonuld's actions would certainly lead one to think that time spent refraining from talking is often utilized in constructive thinking. At least, he has had no red trimmings on his report card as the result of mischief. Ho is able to swap opinions when involved in a C011- versnlions, and gives a good line on an occasion here and there. We don't know why IUon's appeals seem to be to the girls: but he surely can get along all right. Donald thinks he'd like to he an acconntantg here's wishing him lots of success. GEORGE CROUTHAMEL Crouty - Spats Lansdale, Pa.-October 7, l9l5 c Football tl-2-3-4-lg Basketball tl-2-3-4.Jg Baseball l-21. Spots became prominent in Lansdale Higlfs ath- letic annals as early as his Freshman year, when he participated in several football games. Since that time he has won seven major letters in football, basketball and baseball. Belwen practices he found time enough to demon- strate armstrong heaters to the girls of Souderton and Norristown. Crouty helievs in keeping his past and future a deep, dire secret, apparently, because in tive years we have learned almost nothing about him except that he doesn't haunt the Beehive with the rest of us, and that he goes in for piano-moving in a big way for a little outside exercise. Whatever he decides to do in the future, we know he'll get along.
