CHARLES CORNELIUS PAUL Charlie” Drexel Institute Lansdowne Maybe he isn't the quiet, home-loving fellow! Stays in every night doing his lessons (?). This gives him great favor with the teachers, especially Mr. Ewan, who spends his extra time looking up answers to trick Physics questions asked by “Charlie in class. “Charlie is a great favorite of the girls with his double ignition, double pick-up Nash, when he transports the entire team and some of the reserves to their away games in one trip.

GEORGE WASHINGTON PADULA “Padula ' East Lansdowne “Padula' brought many a laugh with that stiff walk of his in the Senior Play. How anyone could hold himself so rigidly is more than we can understand. “Padula” has his way with the women, too, as you'll notice if you ever walk down the lower hallway. And those ties he wears! Well, “Padula,” we're all sorry to see you go—best of luck to you.

FRANCES ELIZABETH MOIR “Betty East Lansdowne “Hey! hey! somebody, I want some chewing gum.” When we hear those familiar words we know it is our “Betty.” It would be impossible for “Betty” to type without her chewing gum, and we all know “Betty” was our “champccn” typist for two years. We wish her the best of success in her business career.

ROBERT MUNSON NORTON “Bob Dartmouth Lansdowne Here comes “Bob.” be prepared, because you can feel sure that he has some candy to sell.

WILBUR SECHRIST Bud Lansdowne Anyone who followed the baseball team last year knows “Bud. There weren’t many hits that got by Outfielder Sechrist. “Bud” also performed well at bat. “Bud’s” “chawming pussonality” is his main asset, and we arc sure he will make out well in later years, provided he doesn't have to study. Best of luck, Wilbur. Basketball Squad 4; Baseball 3, 4: Athletic Club 4: Travel Club 4: Senior Dance Committee 4; Glee Club 2; Track Squad 2, 4; Aviation Club 4. DOROTHY STANERT Dot University of Pennsylvania Colwyn Yes, “Dot” surely is a worker. Little odd jobs about school, and big ones, too, are always falling upon her responsible shoulders. “Dot” can act. too, and play the piano, and basketball.

CHARLES ALOYSIUS SIMONS, Jr. Charlie University of Pennsylvania Aldan What would the Class of '29 ever have done without “Charlie,” who was always ready to help you with a cheery smile? He was the hero of the Senior Play, and since then we have noticed that sort of far-off look in his eyes. You know, “in the spring— Well, “Charlie, we are sorry to have to say goodbye, but we know that you will have success in whatever you attempt. Good luck!

Wherever you see one, you see the other. Helen holds several championships, two of which are “smiling” and “loaning combs.” Whether she is going to teach or not, I do not know, but the signet ring bearing foreign initials gives mute testimony that all her interests do not lie in the teaching profession.
