JOSEPH HENRY BITLER “Joe” Wharton School “Joe” hails from Sharon Hill, hut we won’t hold that against him, for he’s a peach of a fellow. When it comes to pepping up the student body, “Joe” is right there and has no superior. Besides being a champion cheer leader, “Joe” has been a mainstay of both the Boys’ Glee Club and the Dramatic Club for several years. We know that “Joe’s” pep and personality will make him successful in whatever he undertakes. Cheer Leader (1, 2, 3, 4; Head Leader 3, 4). Dramatic (’dub (2, 3, 4, President 4). Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Stage Crew (1, 2, 3, 4). Football (1, 2). Assistant Business Manager, Garnet and Gray (3). NANCY APPLEGATE “Nance” Skidmore Meet Miss Nancy Applegate, a happy little girl, if there ever was one. One of our traffic monitors and a good one. “Nance” is always cheerful, but will listen to anyone else’s sob story. She believes anything you tell her, but she can’t help that. “Minnie” is one of the big attractions for the stag line at a dance. The man who gets this little girl will be lucky, for we have hidden here a real culinary and domestic genius. Happy days, “Nance.” Hi-Y (3, 4). History Club 13, 4). French Club (4).

Student Council (4). Chairman Traffic Committee (4.) CAROLINE DOROTHY BLACKBURN “Black ie” Drexel Everyone knows our “Blackie.” She is the girl that just about buys out the lunch room every day. Oh, yes! “Blackie” plays tennis, hockey, and basketball. Sometimes I think that the basketball is going to weigh her down. Dancing is another one of “Blackie’s” hobbies, and can she dance? You should see her! Everyday we see a different girl in “Blackie.” One day her hair is in a little knot on the back of her head, and the next day it is hanging down her back. Vice-President Class (2). Hockey (3, 4). Class Basketball (2,3). Varsity Basketball (3,4). Tennis (3,4). Commercial Club (3, 4). Girl’s Glee Club (1, 2, 3). Dental Club (3). MALLOR BOTTOMLEY “Mallor” Penn State Even if he is late for school once in a while, he makes up for it in track and football. Mallor is Lansdowne’s wing-footed Hermes. Go to any track-meet in which he is participating and you’ll be convinced. Mallor was one of Lansdowne’s fastest ends in football, while he played, for he had some hard-luck with injuries. Keep up your pep and speed and you’ll get along anywhere in this old world. Football (3, 4). Track (1, 2, 3; Captain 4). 4 27 )

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). Class History (4). Latin Club (2, 3). ALICE NORDENA ALSDORF “Al” Alice is the girl pianist of L. H. S. Whenever we want some nice snappy, jazzy music, we all yell for Alice. 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). Track (1, 2, 3, 4). Lahian Staff (4). Glee Club (1, 2, 3). Dance Committee (4). 4 26 )■

LYTLE CODDINGTON BOWERS “Shorty” Episcopal Academy Lytle Bowers, known to all and sundry as “Shorty.” As he is not short, one wonders whence the “Shorty.” This is how the story came about, children: Once upon a time sonic-body called him “Little” instead of ahove-said Lytle. So, after being called “Little” for many a year, the name came to be “Shorty.” Hence, dear readers, he runneth under “le nom-de-plume” (French for nickname). “Shorty,” besides this, has three nice sisters, and a fine record in track work. Lytle is one of the best-liked fellows in school. He is not only liked by the fellows, hut how them goils fall for his coils! Football (3, 4). Basketball (3). Track (3, 4). Student Council (3,4). Biology Club (3). Track Club (3, 4). Junior Dance Committee. JULIANNA BOWERS “Judy” Miss Illman’s “Judy” is one of the beauties of the class, as anyone can see by her picture. She is active in hockey, basketball, and track, hut always gets the tough breaks. No one who has ever seen her high jump will forget it. “Judy” is the main attraction for a certain tall young man in Miss Hoopes’ room, and the corridor at noon will feel lonely without them. Lots of luck, “Judy.” Hockey (1, 3, 4). Basketball 1, 3, 4). Track (1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4). Math Club (3). Sec. “X” Club Treasurer (3). Glee Club (1, 2 ). MARGARETTA BOYD “Marly” Wan am akkr’s Institute Here is “Margy,” our man-hater, until lately. She is rather quiet, hut when you get to know her, you are surprised how peppy she really is. Hockey, basketball and track are her pastimes. “Margy” is the best friend anyone could have and her many friends wish her success in whatever she does in the future. Basketball Class Team (1. 2, 3). Hockey Squad (4). General Math Club (3). Track (4). Basketball Squad (4). CHARLES RICHARD BROWN “Dick” Penn Here he conies, the one and only “Dick” Brown. Ever see Brown of Lansdowne stick ’em in the basket? Well, it goes like this: “Dick’s” been the main support of the basketball team for three years, and the hero of three suburban championships. When better shots are made “Dick” will make them; hut we’re rather skeptical of that. Among other things, this shining light plays baseball and tennis, and coaxes good marks out of Miss Cook. We almost forgot to mention “Mrs. Brown.” Ever see “Dick” and Mig at a dance? Well, you’ve missed something. Best of luck, “Dick”; but watch that heart. Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). Baseball (1, 2, 4). Tennis (1, 2, 3, 4). Athletic Club (3, 4). Travel Club (3). Math Club (3, 4). «3 28 f
