GEORGE: DAI.LAS ALBERTSON “Albertson” Art Yes. he really is a Senior. He looks like a Freshman in size but he lias marvelous ability in the Art Department, not to mention his ambition to master the technique of playing the slide trombone. After a lengthy span of years it looks as if cheerful little George is going to leave us. Somebody had better warn Bud Fisher (editor of Mutt and Jeff to look out for his laurels, for George is after them. Track (2, 4). Garnet and Gray (1, 2, 3 . Dramatic Club (3, 4). Band (3, 4). Orchestra (3, I). THELMA MARIAN ADAMS “Shorty” “Stenoc” If you see a little girl running down the hall yelling, “Fm hungry,” you know that’s “Shorty.” Aon see her everywhere, hut she is famous for the speedy way in which she reaches the lunchroom. Have you ever seen a green Whippet Coach, driven by an auburn-haired young man, roll up to the school door? It is there almost every rainy day—a girl comes running out and hops in it. That’s “Shorty” and “her” Bill. Here’s best wishes for a happy future. Girls’ Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4). Commercial Club (3, 4). Biology Club (2). Class Basketball (4 . ESTHER MARIE ALBERTUS “Esther” Commerce Esther is a Commercial Student who says little but accomplishes a great deal. She plods along slowly hut surely. We expect some day to see Esther rise to the heights of head stenographer in the firm of “Walton and McGee.” When Esther answers in “Office Training” we certainly learn some things we wouldn’t have known otherwise. If winning smiles mean anything, Esther ought to be a success almost anywhere. Commercial Club (3, 4). Garnet and Gray Typist (41. RICHARD BERTRAM B RGER “Dick” Pennsylvani a “Dick” used to live in Lansdowne once upon a time, hut never felt the call of his Alma Mater until this school year. He came to L. H. S. from West Philadelphia, after having been to New York and Cleveland. Though generally smiling, he sometimes pours melody out of a saxophone on home-room programs, Hi-Y dances and at the football games. Dick says, “Just say I’m going to he an engineer and they’ll all know I’m going to he a big man.” We believe he’s right. Track (4). French Club (4). Surveying Club (4). 25 }■

“Tom” THOMAS SPARKS BISHOP Bucknell If you see a 11111111}:, well-built chap with a cheerful manner, you will know it is “Toni,” our “Class President.” “Tom’s” wonderful playing and never-failing spirit have gained him the reputation as one of the best fullbacks in scholastic ranks. “He is in a class by himself.” We are sure that “Tom” will lie just as succsesful in his business life as he has been in school.

MARY ELIZABETH SHERMAN “Sherry” Taylor School “Sherry” has become well known and very well loved by us because of her work on Student Council hot-dog stands, as hockey manager and a long list of other duties. She always has some new job to do because of her ability to carry it out. “Sherry” is noted for her happy smile and her lovely blonde hair; she is also an adept heart breaker.

S., as well as of some other extra-curricula affairs. This can easily lie seen by glancing towards the bottom of this write-up. When she flashes that dimpled smile of her’s we just can’t help falling like a ton of bricks how ’bout it. George? ’Course no one wishes “Ginnie” anv luck—not at all! Secretary (4).

Drkxel J i t look at this big, handsome fellow. You would never think him shy or bashful, would you? Well, he isn't (just ask any of the fairer sex). FMson was one of the mainstays of the football team this year. At the position of guard, he proved himself quite worthy of the “L.” We must also take off our hats to him as the Class of ’30 Treasurer. We all know about those dues! ‘’Eddie” is always good-natured and cheerful and ready to help the other fellow. Class Treasurer (4). Football (3, 4). Garnet and Grav Staff'd, 2). Lahian Staff (4). A.

PAUL GEORGE BASEHORE, JR. “Bud” Pbep School The big, broad-shouldered fellow with coal-black hair is “Bud.” He was one of our tackles, and his never-failing spirit and playing gained him the reputation as one of the best tackles in suburban ranks. “Bud” is one of our most cautious drivers; especially going home from school. Ask Mr. Fettus. His frankness and cheerful manner have made him well-liked by everyone. Best of luck to you, “Bud,” in whatever you undertake. Football (4). MONAWEE ALLEN “Mo me” Wheaton Meet the girl who almost won the flag-pole-sitting contest. Her basketball and hockey ability have made her known all over Lansdowne. “Monie” is quite versatile, as she is also a good student. Her smile and cheerful spirit have made her many friends. “Monie” is always willing to help everyone, and some of us wouldn't know what to do if she missed a night of studying. We all wish “Monie” the success in the future that she's had in Lansdowne. Hockey (3,4). Basketball (3,4). Track (1,2,4). Chorus (1, 2, 3). French Club (3, 4). Class Banner Committee (3).

She never fails to oblige, and for this she will always be remembered. She also helped in hockey and basketball. Alice is almost late every day, but manages to escape it somehow. She and her tall, lanky boy friend are a feature at the movies, dances, games, etc. All sorts of luck in whatever you undertake. Basketball (4). Tennis (3). Hockey (4). Glee Club (1, 2, 3). ROBERT BIDDLE BISHOP “Two Bucks” Penn State Biddle is a fair boy with many changes of disposition. His pet hobby in school is track, and outside, mechanical trains. In track he has distinguished himself in the hurdles, winning several medals. Biddle can be bright if he wishes, but he evidently doesn't wish to. A person can often see him driving around in an old can that used to be called an automobile, and is now infamous as the “Mayflower.” The car stands up pretty well at that. Football (1, 2, 3, 4).
