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

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 )

DONALD BRICKLEY CHURCHMAN “Don” “Don” is the “new” hoy who lias made his home in Miss Cook’s room. If you have not been eutting assembly too frequently, you have probably been entertained by bis playing. How that boy can “tickle the ivory.” Remember tin Math Club movies, when Donald did bis stuff at the piano? Although “Don” lias only been with us one year be leaves as one of us. Math Club (4). ALBERTA LORENE BRECKENRIDGE “Bert” “Bert” is another of the fairer sex who blew into the senior class, not as a senior but as a post-grad. She comes from the wilds of Tuckerton. In spite of that, however, she easily wove her way into the noble senior class. “Bert” doesn’t blush much, but if you crave to see her do so, just mention the name of a certain handsome Philadelphian. Here’s luck, “Bert”! CHARLES H. CLARK “Charlie” Penn State We don’t often hear from this dark-haired fellow, but sometimes he makes you sit up and take notice. When you hear him coming in that “car” of his, our advice is to jump for the curb, and jump quick. “Charlie” is always busy working ?) in room H ask Miss Baker, she knows. Never mind, “Charlie,” we know Penn State will be lucky when she gets you. CHARLES CLOUKEY “Cloukey” Haverpord Charles is the sage of the class of 1930, and we all wonder what the teachers would do without him. He has already become famous by having some of his stories published in magazines. None of us could guess what would happen if a teacher said to him, “No, Charles, that is wrong.” (’diaries is very cpiiet, but when you know him you find that he has a good sense of humor and is very clever. He and Einstein will probably be classed together regarding his fourth dimension. Best of luck, Charles. Student Council (4). Garnet and Gray (2). Class Prophet (4). Band (3,4). Orchestra (3,4).
