HERBERT COOPER GORDON Bert Wharton East Lansdowne Hey, ‘Charlie have you heard this one? He sure is hot when he steps out in that big Paige of his, and such a pick-up. Herb has a way with the teachers, too; the kind of way that finds him enjoying the movies with a certain Sophomore when he should be home studying his lessons. They tell me that he travels, too. Well, lots of luck on your next voyage, Bert. A. G. T. 3; Vice-President Camera Club 4; Science Club 1; Movie Club 4; Current Topics Club 3: Biology Club 2. DOROTHEA BEATRICE GIEBLER Dot” East Lansdowne We now enter upon the pleasant task of describing a girl who is forever saying I don’t know or I can’t read it.” The latter is her favorite one, especially in Shorthand Class. She is a very quiet little girl—so quiet that she will be sure to find a position almost anywhere when silence is required. Good luck, Dot!

NATHAN STONE HASELTINE {ate Franklin and Marshall Rutledge In this picture on the right we have the Jim Reed of Lans-downe High. Nate’s specialty is in attacking this and that, and woe betide the person over which he waxeth sarcastic! Nate is further known for minding his own business and being witty.

No questions asked. The three years and a half that she spent with us were very happy ones. We enjoyed her merry smile and wise remarks. Well, anyway, here's wishing you all the luck that you can hold. 16

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
