-THE EAHIAN - WILSON MENDENHALL BRAZER “Wils” is well known for his wide range of activities. He is track manager, chairman at debates, a chess club member, and an Angleworm. He has two special hobbies—basketball and girls—but the latter predominates most of the time. He can’t be blamed for that. He is going to be a famous artist; perhaps, when he finishes his five-year course at Penn. Manager of Track (3. 4); Orchestra (2, 3); Band (2, 3); Math Club (4); Chess Club (4); Banner Committee (2); Debating Team (4); Senior Play (4). ELEANOR MARIE CASACCIO “El” Temple Do you recognize the name? Of course, she’s the sister of the famous “Nicky.” Although Eleanor lets her brother stay in the limelight, she is famous for her giggle—especially among her friends in the commercial class. And did you ever see her type? George Hossfield is her only rival. Commercial Club (3. 4); Etiquette (2); Biology (2); Class Basketball (3, 4); Class Volley Ball (3, 4). BARBARA ALICE CARL “Bobby” Business Overbrook certainly lost something when shy, little Bobby favored the Class of ’31 with her presence in 1928. All fell immediately for the attractive blueeyed, blonde-haired girl. Later, they found she blushed delightfully so, of course, when they wanted to laugh, they made Bobby blush. Bobby is also one of our best shorthand students. She sure can make that pencil of hers go. You can usually recognize her by her giggle when she’s walking down the hall with her friend Helen. Chorus (2, 3); Commercial Club (3, 4). ELFREDA M. DAY “Freddie” T echnician The little girl with the tongue a yard long and just as wide—Elfreda. She was dropped into our midst this Senior year and ever since she has been talking fast to make up for lost time. Her tongue must make a hundred revolutions a minute. However, she’s always merry and keeps the class convulsed with laughter by her wisecracks. - §{ 28 fr-

WILLIAM C. BOYD “BUI” Notre Dame Bill is the boy whose affinity is athletics and “Queen” Ricksecker. He came to Lansdowne in his Junior year from Collingdale and soon made himself known to us by his athletic prowess. He gained distinction by playing end on the football team, forward on the basketball team, and shortstop on the baseball team. This year Bill was unable to compete as he was above the age limit, but this did not seem to affect his good nature at all. We could learn to know Bill better, if we saw him more than two days out of every week. Football (3); Basketball (3); Baseball (3). HELEN BELLANO “Helen” Stenographer A small, dark brunette with large brown eyes— that’s Helen. We don’t know what Mr. Epley would have done without her able assistance as a typist. Helen hails from the wilds of Millbourne, and if that’s where she learned how to dance so well we think we’ll migrate out to Millbourne too and see what it can do for us. General Science Club (1); Etiquette Club (2); Commercial Club (3. 4). RHODA JANE CARSON “Tootie” Beaver College Do you remember our little goal-keeper for the hockey team? With all her paraphernalia Rhoda looked like a game hunter in Africa, but nevertheless she did her job well. As Aunt Jane in the Christmas play, she was quite a star. Tootie has a secret weakness as we all do—but she won’t let me print anything about that! If you see two raccoon coats going down the hall together, your best bet is that it’s Rhoda and Snyder inside. Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4); Art Club 1. 2); Glee Club (2); Latin Club (2); Dramatic Hub (3. 4); Class Dues Committee (2); ('lass Banner Committee (2); Flower Committee. Chairman (4); Class Hockey, Gray Team (4); Officer in School Savings Bank (2, 3). WILLIAM BRADLEY “BUI” Univ. of Penn. In Bill we have the master scientist of the school; Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics are easy for him. He will always be remembered by his classmates for his startling production of lightning in the auditorium, a feat that has never been equaled. Bill also is the chess expert of the school. We feel sure that Bill will be a leader in the scientific world and make a name for himself and his Alma Mater. Assistant Editor of Garnet and Gray (3); Math Club (2, 3, 4); Surveying Club (3); President (4); French C.ub (4); Chess Club (4); Member of Monitor Staff (4); National Honor Society (4); Lahian Photo Editor (4). 4 27 )§►-

-THE LAHIAN - WENDELL J. COCHRAN “Mickey” Indiana Teachers College Who is that dashing Senior, so full of pep, vim and vigor? Why, don’t you know? That's Wendell Cochran, one of the peppiest fellows in the Senior Class. His specialties are a certain Freshman, making wisecracks in English class, baseball, football, and dancing. The latter he does exceptionally well. Why can’t we have more fun-loving people in the world like “Cochran?” Football (2. 3. 4); Interclass Basketball (3, 4); Baseball (2. 3. 4); Interclass Track (2); Editor of Commercial Hub Paper (4); History Club (1); Travel Club (2); Commercial Club (3, 4); Senior Party Committee (4); Senior Dance Committee (4); Lahian Typist (4). HELEN MARGARET COOPER “Coopy” Ohio Wesleyan University Hail Helen Cooper, Lansdowne’s Eagle Scout, the only girl in the Senior Class to have achieved such distinction in scout work! Although she is kidded incessantly about her devotion to scouting, she stands the gaff and now we gaze in wonder—an Eagle Scout. Besides this, Helen is one of the mainstays of the Hockey team and a marvel at French or Physics. A combination of athletic and scholastic distinction—that’s Helen. Hockey (1. 2, 3); Varsity (4); Class Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Lahian (4); French Club (3, 4); Latin Club (1, 2, 3); Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Assistant Librarian (3, 4). DOROTHY MAY DAVIES “Dot” Penn State The scene is a quiet study hall. Suddenly, someone drops a book. Simultaneously, Dot Davies goes up with a heart-rending scream! Even dropping a pencil does the trick; only Dot doesn’t go quite so high then. As a basketball guard Dot’s a wow. In spite of all injuries, she stuck it out. Boys in general give Dot a pain in the neck, but there may be some one in particular? She says that herself. Basketball (2, 3, 4): Latin Club (1); French Club (3. 4); Chorus (1, 2); Literary Club (1); Senior Dinner Committee (4). HOWARD FRANCIS CONWAY “Coney” Penn State Howard is the tall, lanky youth you see flying about the halls in a blue sweater. He and “Reds” spend their time in Problems amusing one another to the great delight of the rest of the class! The way these two harmonize is great—ask for “Sweet Adeline” by request. Football (4); Basketball (4); Baseball (4): Track (2, 3, 4). -«e( 29
