Ewan, Jr., Class Advisor HARRY HOPKINSON “Harry Penn State Lansdowne Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us today Mr. Harry Hopkinson, hero of our romance and the battlc'scarred President of the Senior Class. In the midst of all the confusion of class meetings, he appeared with his hair untouched and unwrinkled. His remarks, plus those of Miller's, arc enough to break up any class (ask Miss McCullough), but, just the same, he surely knows his “onions in Math, and Physics. A glance below show's why he was so busy during his Senior year. The class wishes Harry the best of luck. Football Squad 3, 4; Class Volleyball 1, 2, 3; Basketball 4; Track 3. 4: Bowling 4; A. G. T.

EMMA a'BECKET “Em” Polyclinic Lansdowne Everyone who knows “Emmy knows her to be a good sport. We couldn't do without her this year, either. And how does she guard! Emma's popularity is shown in that she not only has been Vice-President of the class for two years, but that—well—just look at the activities under her name. Good luck to you, “Emmy, always.

MARADEL TALENTINE GEUTING “M aradel SWARTHMORE LANSDOWNE Maradel does everything. What the Garnet and Gray wrould have done without its efficient and charming pilot is disastrous to imagine. She has been our dramatic talent for several years and her reputation as an actress will ever live. Her pleasant smile is easy to coax into action, and a “certain someone seems to be particularly favored with its brilliancy. We wish you the best of luck in college, Maradel.

She usually keeps the Commercial Department amused with her “M-I—t't'O'O'k— Yes, she has that habit of stutter' ing. You might call “Sonny the helping hand of L. H. S.— always willing to help.

What would the Band and Orchestra have done without our drummer? And remember the way he rushed up and down stairs in between the Band and Play rehearsals? Then, after all that hard luck, he had to get sick on the very eve of the Play. We know, though, that you will have a huge measure of good fortune in your future, Nate. So long, and good luck!

He is among the most distinguished mem' hers of our class. His physical exertions are all confined to track, basketball, and Lansdowne Science Club's meeting. He ought to walk away with that engineering at U. of P. Wish you luck, Al. Track 3, 4; A. G. T. Club 3. 4, President: Track Club 4; Cur' rent Topics Club 3; Mathematics Club 2; Chemistry Club 3. MILDRED SARA BERGEY “Bergey” East Lansdowne Since the days of the all' talkies we are sure Bergey will qualify.

HELEN BITLER Helen' Miss Illman's Sharon Hill Helen had missed graduating because of illness, but, although we were sorry she had to be ill, we are glad to be able to say that she graduated with our class. Among other things, she was a manager of the hockey team. And a very capable one, too. The very best of luck, Helen. Manager of Girls' Hockey 3: Dental Club 4. MARION BLEW Blewy” Lansdowne Blewy has been a hard worker on the hockey, basketball and tennis squads ever since she was a Freshie. She deserves her letters, and how! Besides, she is a good actress. Remember Prudence? With her record, success is sure in whatever future she chooses. Best luck, Blewy!

There's Bowman at it again. we cry. as we hear a dismal toot of a sax far away in the distance. When not thus occupied, he may be found expounding some new theory to Mr. Ewan or Mr. Eplcy.

MURIEL BROWN “Browny” Drexel Institute Lansdowne Muriel seems so care-free that nothing apparently bothers her. Moreover, when the poetic muse fails to inspire the rest of our Latin class, Muriel turns up with a poem. But you really don t know her unless you've been with her outside of class. Then that suppressed chuckle breaks out into a hearty laugh and—the fun begins.

WALTER WORTHINGTON BROWN Brownie” Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Lansdowne Ladies and gentlemen, it is with the greatest of pleasure that we now present to you “Brownie himself. Walter is one of the best fellows imaginable; good-natured, generous, sympathetic and full of fun. The only fault we can find in him is that he is not around us enough, and we are sure that regardless of where he goes or what he does, he will make good. Surveying Club 3, 4, President 4: A. G. T.

No matter what you undertake in the future, Alice, we know that you will come through with flying colors. All the luck in the world. Alice! Class Basketball; A. G. T.

Besides his American nickname, “Buck, he is also known as a distinguished English business man, Mr. Honeycutt. Of course, you know he received this name when he starred in the Senior Play. I hope he makes as great a success in life as in drama.

ADELINE CAPOTOSTO “Cappy” Lansdowne Who is that sauntering slowly down the hall at the ringing of the last bell? Why, Adeline, of course. She always lives up to her standard of being the last person to come in the room. Well, anyway, she may be the last person to enter the room, but she certainly is the first in when it comes to artistic ability. She also boasts of being a member of the “Triple Alliance. ’ We are all wondering why and against whom it was formed.

This popu lar A-l student is so much in demand that he can't even enjoy a single class in Problems without suffering a phone call. Maybe he's English on the American jokes, but he sure can solve the Shakespearean riddles. Well, “Eddie, dear, we wish you the sue-cess at managing your family that you had with track team.

We don't know much about him except that he is so good on a typewriter that he doesn't take typing. The first time he saw a milk w agon, after coming East, he wanted to ride the horse. He knows better now, though. Travel Club 4; Commercial Club 4; Athletic Club 4. 12 FRANCIS HARRY COCHRAN '‘Cochran Lansdowne Here is the fellow who has all the ability for being a first-class butler. He was one “of them” in the Senior Play. We all think that he will end up as the elusive butler to the King of Hoboken. No matter what turns up, we are sure that “Fran” will “do his stuff” in a real way which will be a credit to himself and 29. Track 3, 4; Football Squad 3, 4; Current Topics Club 3; Track Club 4.

ISABEL MILNE CRAWFORD “Issy” East Lansdowne The “Marlyn Miller” of the Commercial Department. Her splendid acting won her the leading feminine role in our Senior Play. We have wondered what happened to the automobile on the way home from the March Senior Dance. Was it accidental or otherwise? Ask Jack! Her beaming countenance is loved and looked for by everyone in the school and everything brightens when “Issy” draws near.

MARY ANNE DeGARCIA “Mary” Drexel Institute Rutledge Mary lives up to her name, for she is our gardener of the Commercial Class and takes care of all the plants in Room 21. She is the champion giggler of the class. She also likes to play hockey and was “goalie” on the first team this year. We think she must be English, for it takes her quite a while to see a joke. Here's wishing you lots of luck and success in the future, Mary.

Whether or not he turns out to be a miracle man rests upon whether or not he takes this up. We as a class are positive he will do something which will bring renown to his name. Good luck we wish you.

Earl has the ambition to become an actor, we believe. His deep interest in the Movie Club has brought some light on the subject, as well as his acting from time to time. We arc sure the old world will find a place in its heart for “our Fet and be conscious of his presence there in more ways than one.

Can any person forget that Thanksgiving morning when Upper Darby was threatening and suddenly a big, gawky boy grabbed the loose leather and scampered ninety yards to touchdown land? That's our Elwood. The school says “adios” to you, but will never forget your athletic records. As a basketball manager— a whiz. As a football end—a star. As an all-around good fellow —a wonder!

The class owes him a vote of thanks for taking the part of Sir Percy in the Senior Play. We don't know w'hat Finnigan will be. but we do know that he won't be overlooked. Orchestra 3. 4.

Class Poem THE CLASS OF '29 For many a year have we labored, Our wearisome tasks are done. Though the way is long we have traveled. Our race is over and won. Our lingering footsteps will vanish; We cannot longer stay. Though we feel reluctant to leave here. We must onward and up, and away. So here's to you, dear classmates! Comrades and friends were we. Sad, indeed, is the parting. Yet this must ever be. Now we must hand the torch on; Clear and bright gleams its flame. Carry it thus ever onward For Lansdowne High School's fame! 25 Elizabeth Martin Senior oAnnual Staff BEFORE you stands the hard-working staff who are responsible for the publication of this Annual. This is the staff that originated and carried out the plans for a bigger and better Annual. It is rather hard to say, however, that a certain number of people published the Annual, for in one way or another every Senior has had his share in the writing, publishing or financing of the Annual. Maradel Geuting held the position of Editor-in-Chief, supported by those willing workers—the Senior Class. As everyone knows, the big job on an Annual is the business managing. This position, with its entailing responsibilities, has been well filled by William Lewars. Orlo Elliott, Assistant Business Manager, took full share of responsibilities, and he and Bill formed a team that would be hard to beat. Walter Brown had charge of that important position, Advertisement Manager. Inasmuch as the “ads” are the chief source of revenue, there is no need to ask how important this position is. A great deal of credit should go to our Class Advisors, for they are the ones who gave the force that has made possible this super-Annual. Mr. Ewan has given unselfishly of time and labor to insure the Annual’s success. Through his efforts many a bump in our road has been smoothed out. Miss McCullough has worked hard on the copy. Few people realize the enormous amount of work required before the Annual is finally ready for press. Speaking of getting material ready for press, unstinted praise should be given the typists, Mary De Garcia, Eleanor Trainer, and Betty Moir. Many a weary hour have they spent typing material for press. In conclusion, I would say that all have worked hard and well. There has been no shirking or lying down on jobs. May this Annual prove that a bigger and better Annual is no impossibility. This proof we leave as a heritage to graduating classes of the future years. 26 History of the Class of ’29 BUZZ, buzz, buzz. What could all the noise be? It did not take very long to find out, however, as we soon saw a little girl talking incessantly to a very bashful, blushing boy. Yes, you have guessed it. They were none other than Helene Totten and Albert Belfry getting acquainted on their first day in Kindergarten. Mildred Jago soon joined them, and these three formed the nucleus of the famous Class of 1929. In the First Grade they added to their selective circle our class student, Betty Martin, and Hugh Bowman, the boy possessing the most knowledge. A little girl with long golden curls now came running into our midst. Yep, the typical, “what gentlemen prefer, Betty Taylor. A nice little girl came in leading a small boy by the hand. These were Muriel Brown and Eddie” Rust, the future class sheik.” This completed the newcomers for that year, and the members of the class soon parted for the summer vacation. Murray Steeble joined us in Second Grade. Emma a’Becket, the beauty of the class, and Virginia Guinand, noted romancer (And how!), realizing that the Class of '29 was far superior to that of '30, picked up their books, and with many fond farewells to their newly-made acquaintances honored us with their presence. In Third Grade came the class runt, “Dot” Locke, accompanied by Billie Wallace, and a business-like little boy with big brown eyes. This was Bill Lewars. From the wilds of Iowa came our only new arrival in Fourth Grade. This was Orlo Elliot, whom Helene immediately took under her wing. Frances Cockran, “Mar Hunter, the hockey star; innocent Mary Marvin, and darling “Dicky” Miller joined us in Fifth Grade. The following year, Mr. Mark came to our school, bringing “Billie Bob,” the class pest. In the middle of the first class in strolled Biley Smith, who was immediately seized with a fit of laughter upon seeing Mary DeGarcia and “Eddie Carson busily engaged in an interesting conversation, accompanied by Bob Henderson. These five were the new members who entered in Sixth Grade. Alice Bechtold, a dignified young lady, entered in Seventh Grade, along with Bob Norton. In spite of the arrival of Eleanor Suits, Helen Stevens, Jack Bear, and our President, Harry Hopkinson, in Eighth Grade, Mary Marvin and Biley Smith deemed it wise to leave. Twelve Commercial students entered in our Freshman year. These were Mildred Bergey, Walter Buck, Adeline Capotosto, Isabel Crawford, Earl Fetrow, Eleanor Garber, Dorothea Giebler, Carrie Knobbe, Betty Moir, our athlete, Helen Seubel, Kathryn Sturges, and Eleanor Trainer. Along with these came “Our Honorable Sir Percy,” alias Nathan Bartleson, Charles Simons, Dot Stanert and George Padula, all of Senior Play fame. Peppy little Blewie” entered and proceeded to torment Paul de la Cova. Mary Marvin, realizing the value of our class, returned. Mary McQuaide, Ginny” Drake, Nathan Haseltine, Herb Gorden, Lee Marsden, and Walter Brown, our actor, completed the new arrivals for this year. Our Sophomore year proved quite eventful. Maradel Geuting, most popular young lady of the class, heads the list. Biley Smith, now Hardie, came back from Haverford. Madeline Murray, Richard Freitag, Charles Paul, “Jimmie” Whitesell, Alice Bryce, and Betty Reynolds were now members of our class. As Juniors we felt quite important and were glad to welcome Elwood Fenton, “Bud Sechrist, Al Moitz, Helen Van Tuyl, Mildred Bartleson, Maurice Huff and Harold Finnigan. John Clauser and Helen Bitler were the last two members admitted to our class. Our class has received greater acknowledgment of worth than has been accorded to any other in that the new high school was erected in its honor. 27 Will PREAMBLE WE, the members of this most illustrious Senior Class, do grant, bequeath, or otherwise divest our gracious selves of this or that object, article, mannerism, or what have you, to the following members of that more or less noteworthy aggregation of immature bipeds, the Junior Class of Lansdowne High School in the year of Our Lord and Graduation, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine.

A. T. Washington Flyer, droned over the well-lined air route. The noise of the plane’s six motors, although almost excluded from the cabin, was just loud enough to produce that torpid feeling, and Bill, who was exhausted from a six-day stretch on the bench, overseeing the Grand Jury corruption investigation in Philadelphia, had come on this trip for rest alone. Judge William Mark, as the world knows him, although I have been calling him Bill” for twenty years, had been the central figure in that amazing expose of grafting city aldermen. Perhaps I had better introduce myself. I am Hardie B. Smith, President of the Smith Advertising System, and a close friend of Bill's. The third member of our party was Richard C. Miller, my junior partner and private secretary, who had earned me so many millions by advising the purchase of this same N. A. T. However, back to the story. The monuments of Washington soon gleamed up from the ground, and in five minutes we were climbing out of the motionless plane to the ground. As was my custom, I shook hands with my pilot, Walter Buck, of Cross-Atlantic fame, and hurried to the terminal office. There Dick Miller hurried to a clerk in the information bureau with a Hello, Carrie! Got the Chief’s Hotel Reservations?” To my astonishment, I recognized Carrie Knobbe, an old classmate way back in '29. Her smiling face had not changed in the slightest from '29 to '49. The man who was standing by the taxi with our bags was none other than Lee Marsden, the author-mechanic, who was forced to be content with writing airplane stories after being turned down as a pilot because of flat feet. The capable woman at the wheel of our taxi was Marion Hunter, another classmate, who had come straight to the airport upon hearing of our intended trip. A slight noise of electric gears and we were off. Arriving at the Lansdowne Hotel, Washington’s newest hostelry, our door was gently opened by a suave six-footer, who proved to be none other than Harold Finegan, one of the all-Lansdowne personnel. A smiling bell-hop by the name of Jimmie White-sell rushed out and whisked away our bags in a flash. The maitre de l’hotel, Bill Wallace, another old friend, was not long in following him, and escorted us to the desk, where we signed the book and received keys at the command of two clerks, whom I had no trouble in recognizing as Dorothy Locke and Helen Seubel. I was never known to forget a pretty face. We followed our bell-hop to the lift, where Madeline Murray whisked us to our rooms and rest. Upon coming down to lunch, we were escorted to a table by Orlo Elliot, the head-waiter, who waved Kathryn Sturges, our waitress, to our side with a paper and menu. Glancing over the paper, I noticed two well-known names, the first one that of Adele a'Becket, once known to me as “Fat Emma,” an actress, who was playing in town, and the second that of Mrs. Lon Chaney, the former Virginia Guinand, who was suing for divorce. She charged faithlessness. Due to my unusual memory, I recognized in the assistant waitress, Dorothy Giebler, once a joint acquaintance. We O. K.’d the bill and strolled to the soda fountain, where Eleanor Trainer was presiding, for a Milky Whey. Then, feeling quite replete. Bill and I went out for a walk, after our truly enjoyable repast. 30 Scarcely had we emerged from the hotel when Bill literally ran into the arms of Betty Reynolds, a comedienne of note, accompanied by Helene Totten, a talkie star. Each was well-known in her profession. Miss Totten is especially noted for her remarkable powers of speech. Together, we sauntered to the Capitol. There in the rostrum, we were amazed to find Paul de la Cova and Helen Bitler chaperoning a mob of L. H. S. Seniors on their annual trip to Washington. After a hurried greeting and departure. Bill and I went straight to the President's office, where his secretary, Mildred Bartleson, showed us in. Being political “boss of Pennsylvania, I was able to give him valuable information to pass on to the new administration, then just coming in. Sechrist and Cochran, the successful candidates, had a powerful enemy in “Nate Hazletine, the Senator who had defeated my candidate the year before. However, Senator Gordon, of Pennsylvania, was one of my men, and could be depended on to lead the Senate for another year. The audience finished, our next stop was in the Senate Chamber, where Senator Marion Blew and Senator Mildred Bergey were engaged in a heated debate. We escaped at once, with about ninety-four headachy Senators on our heels. After Dick Miller had rejoined us, we went to the Smithsonian Museum to view the repairs, a gift of Bill's. Here, we were taken in charge by Alice Bryce, the guide of the Museum. We first visited a newly-painted room, just in time to shake hands with Harry Hopkinson, the chemist, who was observing the results of his newly-perfected paint. His assistant, dressed in a disreputable pair of overalls, was Walter W. Brown, the eccentric actor-workman, who greeted us gayly by squirting paint in our faces. Attracted to a corner of the room, we came upon two untidy servants, Professors Belfry and Bowman, arguing on Feet as a Basis of Humanity, querulously, tire-somely and endlessly. The smell of paint sickened us, so we took a drive out toward Arlington. As we passed, there loomed up the awe-striking figure of Nathan Bartleson digging a grave and singing “Mah Bawny Lies Ovah the Aocean! His never-absent monocle was in place, as usual. In the very next field A1 Moitz was sitting at an easel painting Dorothy Stanert as a milkmaid milking a cow. The rather uneventful trip had its end at the White House, where I was introduced to the President's Cabinet, recognizing the wizened figure of Maurice Huff, Secretary of State; “Navy Bill” Simons, Admiral and Secretary of Navy; Bob Norton, the Secretary of Commerce, who had revolutionized the candy trade, and Maradel Geuting, the first woman Cabinet member and Secretary of Treasury. This finished our rounds for the day. Next morning Bill was scheduled to address a National Convention of Women's Clubs, at the invitation of the wife of General Allen (nee Bechtold). Curiosity brought me with him. A debate followed his speech. The question: “Resolved, That kiddy-planes should be abolished, was championed by Mary McQuaide, Helen Stevens and Mrs. H. G. Rutter (formerly Betty Taylor), and actively attacked by Eleanor Garber, Eleanor Suits and Mildred Jago. 31 We two did not waste much time on this meeting, but hurried to lunch, and then to a baseball game between the Senators and the A.'s. Eddie Rust, the manager-player of the Washington Club, personally greeted us, and brought Charley Paul, the umpire; George Padula, the Athletic pitcher, and Californy” Clouser, the fielder, over for a chat. The notables in the box where we were included two of America’s greatest Olympic stars: Bill Lewars, the greatest quarter-miler since Ted Meredith, and Murray Steeble, the Marathon runner. In a nearby society box was the former Isabel Crawford, now wed to an Upper Darby man. Isabel, due to her society upbringing, virtually forced us to come to the “High and Dry Club. Imagine my consternation when we were greeted by Betty Martin herself, Washington’s, and indeed the country's, most notorious night club hostess. With the usual cry of “Give the little boy a hand, I, a stout six-footer, weighing two hundred and twenty in bath attire, was introduced to the patrons. Instantly Virginia Drake, the cigarette girl; Richard Freitag, the be-sweatered waiter, and Jack Bear, the bartender, prowled around me. It cost no little sum to get rid of them, while I enjoyed the shapely chorus then dancing, in which I recognized Helen Van Tuyl, Mary Marvin, Mary DeGarcia, and Betty Moir flitting hither and thither. At the end of the number. Bear, the bar manager, slipped us a bottle of coffee camouflaged in an ancient bottle which must have held whiskey back in the twenties. A further act consisted of Fetrow and Tosta, dancers. Tosta is the stage name of Adeline Capotosto, and of course everyone knows of Earl Fetrow, the premier dancer of the night clubs. I had noticed Bill Mark slyly gazing at his watch, so I was half prepared when he announced that we were going home on the 11.30 Quaker City N. A. T. Special. Knowing his great need for rest, I assented without a quibble, and we left the “High and Dry precipitously, stopping only to pay our check to Muriel Brown, the cashier. On our way out, “One-Punch Eddie Carson, one-time lightweight champ and now bouncer for the club, kindly secured a cab on receipt of a ten-spot, and we rode to the port silently. Dick Miller was on hand with our baggage, and soon we sank wearily into the comfortable seats of the monster plane. Thirty minutes later, when we were settling gently down on the smooth runway of the Springfield Air Terminus, I said to the half-asleep Judge, “Bill, don't you think it funny that we should find so many of our former classmates on the scene at Washington?” Why, Goldie,” he said, “don’t you know that Washington is called the Mecca of the bum?” 32 Class ballot BOY GIRL Most Popular..............Charles Simons Maradel Geuting Most Studious ............Murray Steeble Betty Martin Best featured ............Walter Brown Mary Marvin Wittiest .................A1 Moitz Carrie Kncbbe Most Lively to Succeed....

Not one of our Class has ever had a better time. And what chaperones! When we picked them we picked the cream of the crop, and they proved their weight in gold. Mr. Gilbert, despite other duties, found ample time to play bridge with anyone or everyone, and the broad grin that proved so disastrous to Bob's and Hardie’s song was never missing from Mr. Ewan's face. Mr. Kraber was the life of the party and Miss McCullough and Mrs. Young couldn't have been better. After many fond adieus had been made and the boat had started, we partook of chicken for the first time and adjourned to the deck for a breath of air. At one o'clock we were sent below and then the fun began—for “Mother watchman. He sure was led a merry dance by the male members of our party. The next morning we took some pictures and left in buses for Washington where we immediately went for a tour of the city. The day passed quickly, featured by our Mount Vernon trip and Class might. The latter was great and revealed all our hidden talent. Later, we danced and danced and danced to Mean to Me,” and “Good Little Bad Little You, 'til one, when some of us turned in. The next morning we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where we saw all the money we will ever see and then walked to the monument and walked up. Oh! what a climb it was! Needless to say we rode down, that was some of us. We also visited the Pan-American Building and the Art Museum. In the afternoon we were allowed to go see the A's beat Washington. Nearly everyone attended, especially the girls, as it was ladies’ ” day and we all enjoyed it immensely and cheered for Eddie Collins as we do for L. H. S. Mr. Ewan got so excited that he thought the Yankees were still in the ninth inning while they were already in the eleventh. That evening, after some more chicken and when the usual belated diners had eaten, we started for the theatre, to see a show enjoyed by all. Oh! yes, just ask us. On our return to the hotel some went for a ride in “Buggie and some danced. Mary Marvin sure enjoyed one of those dances. Again we were put to bed at one A. M. A few people actually slept that night and Al. Moitz spent the night at a forty-five degree angle, practically standing up, as his bed had been raised up on a window seat. The lack of blankets caused quite a tug-of-war between Eddie and Orlo and the portables were always being stoken. A gang of girls hanging out the windows on the ninth floor was visited by the “dick and severely reprimanded by him. When Finnigan returned to his room he found his clothes tied together and hung in a loop from the chandelier. I doubt if he slept any. The next day after we visited the Capitol and walked up more steps and went through the Smithsonian Institute, we returned for lunch and had quite a lot of excitement when the news went around that Bill Wallace had been arrested for making a sign from the Capitol. Mr. Ewan and Mr. Gilbert talked the officials out of a fine and later, as the truth leaked out, we learned that it had been a frame-up. Oh, no! Bill wasn't mad. We departed for Baltimore on the buses, leaving Betty Reynolds, Kass and Ginnie still reading Bob's letter at the hotel, and arrived safely on the boat after another chicken dinner, we adjourned to the deck where we were entertained by some songs and the captain was entertained by Emma who got a box of candy for her trouble. Charlie was moon-struck, but entertained some Quakertown “femmes.” Hardie joined later and they sang on and on. Later, after we were all sent below we gave Mary Marvin a surprise birthday party. It was very different from what we had planned; we never even dared play the portable, but just ate and talked all night. Several boys had a quiet spread, too, and the night passed silently. That morning we all landed sleepily and returned to our respective homes to sleep and then sleep some more. 37 H. L. T. R. M. N. ACTIVITIES Cjarnet and (fray Staff HERE we have the pioneer staff of Lansdowne’s newspaper, the Garnet and Gray Until the year ’28-’29 Lansdowne’s publication had been in the form of a monthly magazine, but, encouraged by last year's success with the Spotlight, it was decided to put out a bi-monthly paper instead of a magazine. Through the Garnet and Gray the school has had a record of the year's activities. The staff itself has been divided into departments. These departments have been so arranged that each member of the staff either has his own field to cover or is responsible for collection of material in that field. The position of Editor-in-chief has been held by Maradel Geuting. On her shoulders is the responsibility of assigning inches, seeing they are filled, getting the paper ready for press and arranging material. The Assistant Editor, Eleanor Wiessler, has had charge of editorials, and this year published the last issue of the paper. Helene Totten held down the position of feature writer, a very important position. The Athletic Department has been well taken care of by Hardie Smith. Hardie, assisted by Robert Young, has filled a good many inches during the year. Virginia Boehmler, Girls' Sports' Editor, was ably assisted in her position by Emma a’Beckett. The Literary Department has been well managed by Marie Gatter, who follows the scent of every story assignment by an English teacher. The Class of '29's wise-cracker, Bill Mark, had charge of Humor, with Reed de Horsey as his assistant editor. John Dusseau and Homer Roberts took care of the longer personals. The other departments have been assigned as follows: Student Government, Helen Van Tuyl; Exchange, Blake Gibson; Assembly, John D. Solenberger; Music, Edith Patton; Clubs, Murray Steeble; Alumni, Mary McQuaide. The business managing has been taken care of by Richard Miller, with Joe Bitler as assistant. That important department, the ads, has belonged to Lee Marsden, assisted by Mildred Bartleson, Harold Finnigan, and Earl Miller. Our new department of Circulation Manager has for its Manager Emory Stanley. Last, but not least, we have our long-suffering and hard-working typists, Mary De Garcia and Eleanor Trainer. With this staff sixteen issues have been published. The Garnet and Gray also put on an Assembly program, launching a midyear subscription drive. Mr. McCullough, a reporter from the Inquirer, talked at this program. Senior Play Qast TTjr ERE are the illustrious members of the Senior Play cast, who worked hard to make the play, So This Is London,” a success. You, who have had the honor of seeing it, most assuredly will join me in saying that it was one of the best plays ever given in Lansdowne High School. How could it be anything but a success with such a cast? Just look them over.

Dot” Ctancrt Flunky .......................................Bill Mark Mr. Draper................................... Bob” Norton Thomas.............................................Francis Cochran Jennings....................................George Padula “So This Is London is a play in three acts. The plot is woven around two families: one a typical English family, and the other an “up-to-date” American family. The plot thickens when the English daughter falls in love with the American boy. Family feelings arise, the English father is set against the modern American ways, and the American father is set against the English “fol-de-rols.” But, as the usual story goes, the families agree and happiness reigns. By this resume you can see for yourself how difficult it would be to choose characters to suit the different parts. We couldn’t have picked a more modern American couple than Dot Stanert and “Bob Norton; nor could we have chosen characters who could have acted more satisfactorily the parts of the stately English than Alice Bechtold and Harold Finigan. Maradel Geuting lived up to her old tradition when she played the part of the international go-between. Isabel Crawford and Charles Simons played the roles of Elinor and Junior like professionals. Walter Buck put his English accent into prominent use when he played the role of Honeycutt. What would the play have been if we didn’t have our butlers. Bill Mark, Francis Cochran and George Padula (with his many bows)? 40 The Student Council THE Class of Twenty-nine have just pushed through the first full year of Student Government in the history of the High School. Whether you think it is a success or not, it has certainly made an impression. Even those who oppose it most strongly must admit that the system has its merits, and, if given the proper co-operation and time, can be made an organization that Lansdowne will be proud to call its own. The first duty of the organization when it met in September was to draw up a foundation. A committee was appointed (Bob Norton, Marian Hunter, and Edward Carson) to draw up and subject a Constitution to criticism. The finished Constitution appeared in two months, to be ratified by the whole school almost unanimously. It called for the following organization: (1) a President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer; (2) a Senate, consisting of four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman, each elected by their respective classes; (3) a representative body, consisting of one representative from each home room; (4) lastly, two Faculty Advisors, with right of the Principal’s veto. The officers of the organization for this year were: Charles Simons, President; Harry Hopkinson, Vice-President, and Mary Sherman, Secretary-Treasurer. The Faculty Advisors were Mr. Ewan and Mr. Drake. The Council worked on many projects, both in the old and in the new schools. In the old school they made the hall rulings and stuck to them, but when we moved to the new school they became obsolete and were abandoned. But they were working very smoothly in the old school when we left. The Council also took over the order in the auditorium for the Christmas play. In the new building they took over the care of the school property. Other things were done which space prohibits telling, and so in closing, shall we propose a toast? “To the success of Student Government in dear old L. H. S. 41 Chorus DURING the school year of ’29 the Boys' Chorus, under the supervision of David O. Slyter, our gifted director of music, entered upon a greatly wider scope in school activities. Composed, as it was, of twenty-five music-loving boys, with the gracious assistance of two of the Faculty, the Chorus has had the pleasure of singing some really creditable pieces, and has been in demand all year. The officers elected at the inception of the year's business were: Henry Pharoah, ’30, President: Hardie Smith, '29, Vice-President; Nathan Bartleson, ’29, Secretary, and Morris Huff, ’29, and Biddle Bishop, ’30, Librarian and Monitor, respectively. These officers, capably assisted by Messrs. Griffin and Drake, our faithful Faculty members, aided greatly Mr. Slyter in his endeavors toward the success of the Chorus. The year’s program was: A preliminary performance given before the School Assembly in later October; the Christmas Cantata, “Star of the East, on December 21; the Dedication of Lansdowne’s new High School in January, 1929, and the Grand Finale in the form of a School Concert on February 26. On the occasions of the Cantata and Dedication the combined choruses, which sang, were greeted with great applause. On the other two occasions the work of the Boys’ Chorus received a burst of applause that was all their own. The latter appearance marked the official end of the year’s program for the musical organizations, but they were of use to school and community functions until after everyone had taken a last look at the school for the summer. Early in March, quartet work was started, and a really creditable one was selected. This group consisted of Robert Norton, ’29, First Tenor; Charles Walters, ’30, Second Tenor; Hardie Smith, ’29, Baritone, and Harold Finigan, '29, Bass. These four were a distinct hit wherever they were heard, and on several occasions assisted at out-of-school functions. The Chorus and Quartet desire earnestly to thank Ruth Hazlett, our patient accompanist, for her painstaking and efficient work; Mr. Griffin and Mr. Drake, for their aid in our singing, and last and most heartily, Mr. Slyter. In the wearying grind of rehearsals and the palsying fear of the performances he was our helper and comforter. He will be remembered long by the singers and officers with gratitude, and the Class of '29 extends him felicitations on the result of his well-planned efforts. Cjirls’ Chorus WHEN the first meeting of the Girls' Glee Club was called in September, an overwhelming crowd reported. There were various types, ranging from Freshmen to Seniors; in fact, so many came out there was not enough room in the old building to suitably accommodate them. However, this number was notably diminished when Mr. Slyter asked the girls to enter a Music Class, which was held each week. Enough girls had the necessary amount of courage to survive this danger, and finally organized. The Club has had a most successful season this year, and much credit must be given our Director, Mr. Slyter, for this success. He has persevered and labored with us when it just seemed impossible to go. The results of his work were shown at the Christmas Entertainment, the Dedication Exercise, and the Concert which was given in connection with all of the other school musical organizations. After we moved into the new high school building the conditions for our practicing were greatly improved, just as all other conditions were. Because we were able to hold our rehearsals on the stage, the Club was able to get into the spirit of the work much more easily, and as a matter of course better presentations were offered. The leader of the Girls’ Chorus this year was new to us all, so it was rather difficult at first for us to co-operate, both because of the many new girls out for the Chorus, and the fact that the girls who had been in for several years missed our Miss Smedley.” However, Mr. Slyter soon won everyone over and proceeded to develop a well-trained and excellent Glee Club, which has lived up to, if not exceeded, all previous records of the Girls' Glee Club in the Lansdowne High School. 43 Lansdowne High School Band THE Lansdowne High School has never had a band before this year. We always gnashed our teeth with envy when Lower Merion or Upper Darby came over to our football games with a peppy, well-uniformed band. Now, we have a band of our own that equals, if not excels, any other high school band around here. Under the guidance of Mr. David Slyter, the Band has had many engagements. It made its debut at the Thanksgiving game with Upper Darby. Although there were no uniforms then, the Band made an excellent showing, encouraging both the team and the cheerers. In order to promote interest in the campaign for the uniforms, our Band played at the Lansdowne Theatre. Our citizens responded generously, and the uniforms were gotten in due time. They were kept a secret until the night of the concert held in our new auditorium. From this night, the Band has been in demand, and has given its services both to school and community activities. It traveled to Reading and Bethlehem with the championship basketball team, and received much applause at both places. On April 13th, it played in the parade held for Mr. Stewart, our Burgess, on Stewart Day. It is already dated up for future appearances. On the fifteenth of April, the Band represented the Lansdowne Theatre in a parade for the Stanley Theatre Company's anniversary month. They passed the school on their way downtown in a gayly-decorated truck. Everyone at school envied them their good luck in getting excused from school. Credit goes to the leader, Mr. Slyter, for his tireless and patient work spent to make this organization a success. Finally, the Band members themselves are to be greatly commended for their efforts in helping Mr. Slyter to make this new musical addition a success. 44 The Orchestra THE Orchestra has improved one hundred per cent this year, under the able leadership of Mr. David O. Slyter. If you can remember as far back as last year, I'm sure you'll agree with me. It was not until this year that the Orchestra played for the Assemblies. This, however, is just one of the improvements. The membership has increased considerably. With the help of the citizens, school board, etc., the music has been greatly advanced by the purchasing of more instruments, music, and last, but not least, an electrola. The Orchestra played for many meetings, etc. It played for the Delaware County Teachers Convention, the Senior Play, May Day, the Twentieth Century Club. Mr. Slyter has done a great deal this year, but his plans for next year ought to put Lansdowne's music at the head of the list. The Orchestra members have appreciated his efficient reorganization of the orchestra and his capable leadership during this past year. 45 Clubs COMMERCIAL CLUB Sponsor, Mr. Kraber THE Commercial Club was organized chiefly for students who are planning to go out into the business world. Quite a few speakers, including Mr. Mark, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Worrell, and Mr. Davies, have spoken to the members of the Commercial Club and have tried to stress the importance of accuracy and efficiency in one's work. The Club meets on the third Friday of each month, at which time a paper is published called the Sen-Jun. CAMERA CLUB Sponsor, Mr. Ewan The Camera Club was organized for the purpose of studying all parts of the camera, making students more familiar with its mechanism. MATHEMATICS PUBLISHING CLUB Sponsor, Miss McAllister Organized for the purpose of giving students more general information about mathematics, its applications, and value. This club publishes a paper called The A. G. T. Review. The title stands for Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. The paper is published when the Club meets on Fridays of each week. BIOLOGY CLUB Sponsor, Mr. Epley The Biology Club aims to teach the pupils how they may best live within their own environment and to emphasize their duty in co-operating with civic authorities for the betterment of their environment. FRENCH CLUB The French Club was organized for the purpose of bettering the speaking of French. With Miss Baker as sponsor, how could it help being successful? She has found many ways in which to “put this purpose across, in the forms of debates, recitations, and formal gatherings in which French alone was spoken. If you walk into her room you will see a sign, Id on park Francais! AMATEUR MOVIE CLUB This year the Amateur Movie Club didn’t have much material and time to fulfill its purpose, but wait till next year and it will show you what its plans are. The members had planned to give a short play, but this didn't materialize. Even though we haven't accomplished much, we've had a lot of fun. TRAVEL CLUB If you want to learn something about the different places on the map, and how to get them, just spend a few hours with the Travel Club, sponsored by Miss Grace and Mr. Snyder. It lives strictly up to its name. It has accomplished a great deal and has educated in some way or other all its members. LATIN CLUB You ve heard of the Latin Saturnalia. Well, we couldn't have had such a wonderful time if the Latin Club, under Miss Cook's guidance, hadn't found a way to bring in the dough and to furnish entertainment. It has done other things, too; it has stirred up responsibility in the various members, and capability of carrying out orders. Although it hasn t had many meetings, it has been a very successful organization. surveying CLUB The Surveying Club was established to foster interest in Engineering, especially Civil and Mechanical, in the Junior and Senior Classes. 46 ATHLETICS Football Season 1928 FOR the first time in five or six years Lansdowne can boast a championship football team. At the Union A. A. banquet the team was officially presented with the American Legion cup; which is annually given to the team with the best Delco record. We were also tied with Abington for the Philadelphia Suburban Champion' ship, and one of the six undefeated teams of this State. With victories over Central, Darby, Norristown, Ridley Park, Lower Merion, Chester, Media, Upper Darby, and a tie with Radnor, the boys have reason to be proud. In Captain Tommy Bishop the team had a leader who knew football from A to Z. Surely, no greater proof of his football ability is needed than his selection for the fullback position on the all-suburban eleven. However, one man cannot do all the work, and Tom certainly had the support of his teammates. Of course, the person who is directly responsible for the success of the team is Coach Robinhold. This mentor worked hard and long to achieve the enviable record which we now hold. Considering the fact that Lansdowne had only five first-string men back from the preceding year, we feel that too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Robinhold, and also to the boys, for the fine spirit that they showed. The following are the letter-men for the season of 1928: Captain Bishop, Captain-elect Walton, Fenton, Norton, Stevenson, Osborne, Bear, Pharoah, Hauser, Hansen, Gildersleeve, Nichols, Smith, Walters, Hocking, Ricksecker, Peech, White, Cheyney, and Manager Wallace. 47 Hockey 1928 THE Girls’ Hockey Team this season, ably led by Captain Marian Hunter and splendidly managed by Mary Marvin, encountered stiff opposition, and was not able to hold up the undefeated record of the previous year. With but four letter girls back, Captain Hunter, Helen Seubel, Marianna Geauque and Edmee Malm, Miss Kean had a hard time molding a team capable of sweeping aside our more experienced opponents. At last, however, the squad was cut down to about thirty girls and the first contest was looming on the horizon. The game, with Upper Darby, proved disastrous, and the line-up showed many shifts due to the loss. Our next two endeavors proved successful, Collingdale and Cheltenham, respectively, being mowed down by our attack. The latter game was featured by the stellar playing of Blewy.” The results of the remainder of the schedule were nothing to “write home about,” despite the untiring efforts of our coach and team. In the Haverford game, Mary De Garcia, our goalie, worked hard to keep the balls out, but we were unable to get by her cousin, who was the opposing goal tender. The season closed, however, with a fitting climax, when, due to the kindness of Mrs. Edwin Twitmeyer, Captain Mar” Hunter was rewarded for her spirit and playing during the season by a beautiful cup, appropriately engraved, and Miss Kean (Mrs. Patterson) honored the team by announcing her engagement at the banquet. The letter girls are: Captain Marian Hunter, Captain-elect Edmee Malm, Manager Mary Marvin, Helen Seubel, Marion Blew, Muriel Brown, Mary De Garcia, Mary McQuaide, Betty Sechrist, Marianna Geauque, Virginia Boehmler, and Helene Totten. The second team finished a successful season and provides good material for next year with Icky” Sechrist, Shorty” Scarborough, Ruth Green and other outstanding performers of the year. 48 basketball 1928-29 ANOTHER year finds Lansdowne on top in the basketball circles. For the second consecutive year our boys have “cleaned-up the Suburban “B League. In doing so, they have made an enviable record of twenty consecutive league games. The final standing of the team was fifteen games won and five lost. Of the five teams that defeated Lansdowne, two were avenged by victories. The other teams, with the exception of one, were very strong teams. The team this year was composed of Jack Stevenson, Captain and center; Dick Brown, a flashy forward; Charles Bee Rust, the other forward; Wallace “Squibbs” Verrall at one guard, and Len Hahn at the other guard. In the league Steve had three high scores. He had the most number of fouls made, the highest individual score, and the most number of field goals. Mention should also be made of Carl Tad Ranck. After “Tad had played five games, he had the bad luck to break two or three bones in his ankle. Had Tad stayed in all season he undoubtedly would have been a star. This year, as well as last year, Lansdowne was selected to compete in the Elimination Contest of the P. I. A. A. for the State tournament for this section. The first game was to be played with Souderton High School. This team forfeited the game, and we were next matched against Frackville High School. The team journeyed to Reading and succeeded in coming out on the long end of a 40-20 count. It next journeyed to Bethlehem to face Hazleton, last year’s State champions. Here Lansdowne met one of the best teams in the State and was severely spanked by a 69-33 score. However, we hope to be in shape next year and try to give this team a real battle. The “second five men should also be mentioned. They were; Ray Kabakjian and Ben Hocking at the forward positions, and Alfred Brown at center. The guard positions were capably handled by Bob Cornfield and Ralph White. Of the first eleven men on the squad, ten return next year. With this outlay we hope to turn in another good season next year. 49 (jirls’ basketball THE Girls' Basketball Team is to be congratulated on having such a successful season, considering their hard luck. As we all know, both star forwards, Ginnie Boehmler and Marianna Geauque, developed scarlet fever and could not finish the season, but their places were soon filled by that speedy little forward Helen Seubel and Betty Sechrist, who made forty-five points in one game. It was not only the forwards who did the work, but also our guards. We will always remember Helene Totten, that splendid guard who never failed to stick to her girl. Guarding with her were Emma a'Becket and Helen Van Tuyl. Then we had at side-center Marion Blew, who never missed getting the ball when Ginny” got the jump, which was most of the time. We can now turn to our efficient Captain, Virginia Guinand, who played jumping center. No matter whether the team won or lost, Ginny” was always the same, with a cheerful smile and a kind word for everyone. But the main reason for all the success of our team was due to the coaching, which was done by our ever-faithful coach. Miss Kean. Oh, excuse me! I mean Mrs. Patterson. Very little has been said about our second team, but they also were successful in their games. The girls who won their numerals were: Isabel Sechrist, Carolyn Blackburn, and Margaret Castle, as forwards; Betty Moir, as center; Josephine Collings, as side center; and Juliana Bowers, Dorothy Davies and Ruth Green, as guards. Most all of these girls are good for at least another year, so we certainly expect to see some good work next year. The season was ended by playing our Alumni. This was certainly a good game. Much to the disappointment of the graduated girls, they lost, but we were all very happy to win, because it ended our season in the proper way. Our banquet was held at Tindall’s as usual, and we all enjoyed a very good meal, as well as some speeches. Mr. Mark gave us some good points to follow, and ended his speech by saying we could go to Miss Kean’s wedding, which we all did, and certainly enjoyed. 50 baseball THE Baseball Team, under the hand of our Coach, Mr. Robinhold, has shown real quality. As the deadline of the Senior Annual makes it impossible to print the result of the season, we will have to be content with a forecast of the prospects of Lansdowne's latest try for championship in the sport world. However, this much can be said: the team of ’29 has in every respect an equal in our latest team in the thick of a “pennant drive.” This year the team has many veterans back. Captain “Eddie Rust, though forced into the background by “Al“ Moitz, who led the team in hitting last year with a .408 average, is a capable infielder and well-beloved leader. He will probably perform at shortstop this year. Leslie Peech, the talented third-sacker, will again tend the hot bag. Wallace Verrall, last year’s Captain, will again scoop the low ones up on first base. The two clever catchers, Bob Norton and Carl Ranck, are back again this year also. These two are the best in the suburbs. Howard Mattick and Charles Simons, an outfielder last year, comprise this year's veteran pitching staff. The outfielders seem to be Tom Bishop at left field, where he is again established after an absence of a year due to a knee injury; “Bill” Emerling, the slugging center gardener, also out last year because of a fractured ankle, and either Charles Simons (when he is not pitching), Raymond Kabakjian or George Padula, all veterans who saw service last season. Two comparatively new faces, however, are “Chick (Harry) Morrison and Charley Bee” Rust. Chick is a clever right-handed pitcher, who ranks on the varsity. “Bee is a capable second-sacker. Maury Walton, also new, is making a great try for second base honors. We may expect these men to win their letters in this season’s effort. This year the capable Dick Miller is managing the business affairs of the Baseball Team. Dick will be known for his quiet effort and loud wise-cracks. Mr. Robinhold, our Coach, is the other half of the Board of Ways and Means. This duo has had quite a success in forcing adverse conditions, both in business and baseball, to turn into a smooth road to success. However, they and the team, we're sure, will be pressing all year, and, unless anything goes wrong, will get somewhere. 51 Track FROM all indications, the Track Team will be more successful this year than for the past few seasons. Track interest has been lacking because of a suitable track. Our new adjacent playground, with its excellent track, has aroused this interest and track will regain the prestige it should have in the Lansdowne High School. The letter men who remained with us after last year's handicap of using Upper Darby’s track will form the nucleus of this year's team. The squad will not lack new material either, as several promising aspirants have reported. Ben Hocking, a newcomer, is attempting to win the place of Dick Dear in the sprints. Bus Cornog, Eugene Preston and others are also ably filling the places of last year's cinder devotees. The Senior Class has a goodly representation, though it is the first attempt for many of them. Captain William Lewars and his teammates have an extremely hard schedule to tackle this season. There are four dual meets, possibly another, and each Saturday is taken with invitations and interscholastics. Our opposing teams are Cheltenham High School, Chestnut Hill Academy, Episcopal Academy, and Swarthmore High School. The Manager, Edward Carson, reports that L. H. S. will be represented in all the main meets in this locality, beginning with our own Union A. A. Invitation, and including the Penn Relays and Swarthmore College Interscholastics. Taking the attendance at practice and the spirit of the squad as a standard, the Lansdowne High Track Team of '29 ought to surpass the achievements of the previous teams in the coming season. 52 girls’ Track 1929 THE track season started off this year without the aid of any coach, as Miss Kean was away on her honeymoon. Captain Hunter and Manager Betty Reynolds took charge. Mar, who is quite the runner, took charge of the running events, while Marian Blew and Helene Totten helped out with the throwing. The team is handicapped by the loss of Helen Seubel, who is not a candidate this season. Sue,” who was a member of last year's teams, and also a varsity member of both basketball and hockey, finds lessons too confining, and is busy getting typing instead of running honors. But Betty Sechrist, a Junior and all-around athlete, is very speedy and expected to do great things on the cinder path and make up for “Sue. The throwing honor we hope to go to Edmee Malm, who heaves a mean baseball, and who also high jumps, and Judy Bowers, veteran high jumper, will again add laurels to good old L. H. S. by her deeds. “Ginny Boehmler, who is just over an illness, and is last year's Captain, is again out to see if she is able to stand the strain. Ginny” is very fast, and, if able, will aid the team a great deal. A great many underclassmen show promise. Clair George throws the basketball nicely, Jeannette Lamed can put the baseball far, far away, and Icky Sechrist burns up the track. We have hopes for a good season, as we have the new field and plenty of good material eager to help and make the team. 53 t- cBoys' Tennis PROSPECTS are bright this spring for another good tennis team. While three of the stars of last year's championship team, Loughlin, Case and Weiler, have been lost by graduation, there remains more than the usual number of experienced players. Last year we had to avoid over-confidence, and while we finished the second straight season without losing a match, and won the Interscholastic Championship for the second time, there were several matches which were very close. This year we have not so many stars at the top of the list, but have a much better balanced team, and so far there has been shown a very fine spirit of co-operation and determination to fight hard to win a third successive championship and permanent possession of the Interscholastic Cup. Manager Clayton Wicks is arranging a schedule of matches with the best high and preparatory schools in Philadelphia and vicinity. Penn Charter, Episcopal, West-town, Upper Darby, George School, and many others will be met. About thirty candidates reported immediately after the Easter vacation and practice has been started. Within a few days elimination matches will be started to cut the squad down to a size that can be more readily handled with the few courts available. Captain William Haseltine is working hard to get himself in condition. Bill won the Interscholastic Singles Championship last year, and also the first singles matches in the intersectional contests with the picked Junior teams of New York and New England, and is counted on to make his last year in high school tennis a good one. The following boys have played on the team at some time during the past two years and are counted on again this year: Dick Brown, Ricksecker, Cornfield, Fetter and Hahn. Hood, Kabajian, Tobin, Trent and Henderson have had considerable experience in Lansdowne tournaments, and, together with several new candidates, are counted on to furnish considerable opposition. The teams are being coached and encouraged by Mr. T. S. Fetter, and will also have the benefit of the advice and practice with several former Lansdowne players. 54 QirW Tennis ALTHOUGH the tennis season has not yet started, we are quite sure that it will be very successful this year. As I understand from the efficient Manager, Dorothy Stanert, they have scheduled seven games with neighboring schools. This year's team will be led by one of last year’s best players, Meg Scarborough. We all know “Meg’s ability, and wish her the best of luck. The other girls who won their letters in the season of 1928 were Josephine Collings and Marianne Geauque. “Joey was Captain last year' and will tell this year’s Captain all about it, won’t you, “Joey? Some of the many girls who have come out for tennis are: Marion Blew, Eleanor Weissler, Esther Albertus, Betty Taylor, Alice Alsdorph and Isabel Sechrist. The team will be coached again this year by Miss Kean, who always turns out successful teams. There is really only one drawback that the team has this year; that is the lack of a place to play. As we know, the playground courts are not available, and the boys usually use Mr. Fetter’s, but we hope some kind person will help us out. 55 Compliments of A FRIEND Complimnits of A FRIEND Compliments of H.
