VIRGINIA DRAKE “Ginny” Lansdowne “Ginny is quite quiet around school, but you never can tell what she is like at home. At least someone is quite interested in Ginny's delightful smiles and sweet personality. Hope you like married life, “Ginny. Le Cercle Francais 3, 4; A. G. T.

Have you ever seen his note' book? That little brown book has more dope on pictures, cake sales and what have you than anything else. “Reds certainly has done a lot for our Senior Annual, too. We noticed, though, that you managed to get a good time from the cake sale. You are headed for a successful future, “Reds, and remember that you have the best wishes of all the class behind you.

ELEANOR VIRGINIA GARBER Gob East Lansdowne '‘I'm going to give him the air, the dirty bum. That is what you hear about every week-end from Eleanor. But even if she is giving him the air it does not interfere with her having her English done, and if anybody takes the cake for knowing their English it is Garber.

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. Heaps of good luck we all wish you, no matter what your profession may turn out to be. Movie Club 4: Commercial Club 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3. 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4: Biology Club 2; Assistant Editor.

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.

PAUL VINCENT de la COVA “Cova” Drexel Institute Lansdowne Behold the quiet boy of the class! Paul says little, but his brain has active ideas; ask anyone who takes Physics. 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.

EL WOOD FENTON “Fenton Franklin and Marshall Rutledge Elwood Fenton—who in Lansdowne does not know this lad who hides behind a pair of big horn-rimmed cheaters? 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!

ELIZABETH VIRGINIA GUINAND “Ginny” Peirce Lansdowne “Yump, ‘Yinny' yump,” and “Yinny yumped. Our captain and jumping center certainly was a big help to the team, and her good-natured personality made the girls fight their hardest. We can't quite picture you as “Somebody's stenog, “Ginny.” but we know you'll make good whatever you do, and we're all wishing you good luck.

Also he is a big (six-foot-three) sheik-about-town; he slays his victims with that learned in six lessons accent. 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.

RICHARD FREDERICK FREITAG “Dic ” Lansdowne Hats off to our noble “blond” with red hair. He has all the looks of a “Red” Grange, and perhaps some day he may be C. C. Pyle himself. Listen, “Dick,” if you become a promoter start an obstacle race around the world, each runner having to carry another person on his back. The “gang” all cheer for the future, “money man” of the class. We wish you good luck P. D. Q. Book Club 4; Athletic Club 4. 1 5
