-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

-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-

-THE LAHIAN - FRANCIS JOHN 1)1 FA BIO “France” Francis is quite a traveler—having graduated from a motorcycle to a Chrysler. Maybe there was a certain reason! Besides being baseball manager, Fran is quite a singer, as those of you remember him in “Peggy and the Pirate.” But the most sensational thing that could be dug up about him is that he once smoked a whole cigar! Hoys' Chorus (2, 3, 4); Baseball Manager (3). DOROTHY ELIZABETH DICKERSON “Dot” Dot is one of the tallest, most stately Seniors that the class owns. She was a wonderful center in basketball, mainly because of ability, partly because of height. All Dot had to do to get the ball was merely to stand erect, stretch one long arm and Eureka! the ball was hers. (To any one who may be interested—“He who wants Dot Dickerson must first search for Dot Hillman.”) Basketball (3, 4); Commercial Club (2, 3, 4). DOROTHY ELIZABETH FARRELL “Dotty” Hahnemann Dot’s another character from Overbrook High. No matter whom she meets, she seems to win a place in the hearts of all with her sunny smile. It has been questioned why Dot hasn’t entered a freckle contest—surely she would lead Lansdowne to fame. However, said freckles do not interfere in the least with Dot’s beauty. Lahian Staff (4); Hi-Y (4); Senior Play (4). FRANCIS L. FORE “Frank” Drexel When “Frank” was a “wee” lad he must have had a great liking for carrots, beets and those other things that tend tq produce curly hair, for he has the waviest locks in the Senior Class. Aside from this, Francis is the star crooner of Lansdowne High School (Rudy Vallee’s only rival). I am not sure but I think he is going to be a cartoonist, judging by his past actions. Track (3, 4); Drama Club (3); Math Club (3, 4); Chorus (3, 4). «s| 30 )
