JAMES MOTR Jim New York University W hat is it tint Ji.rimy’s pot. That n akes everyone think he’s so hot ? The answer is that Jimmy was voted the best looking boy in the senior class. Likewise, he was also a good supporter of the football team. In summarizing, we find that Jimmy is a success, by foot or looks. Football (2. 3, 4); Math (4); Dance Committee (4); Hand (1, 2). VIRGINIA FISHER MULLIKIN Ginnie “Ginnie,” the exchange manager of the Garnet and Gray, is noted as one of Miss Downey’s best little songsters. We have often admired and wondered at that West Chester class ring! He probably is th driver of that Plymouth. Ah, these mysteries! Garnet and Gray (4); Math Club (4) ; Girls’ Chorus (2. 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (3, 4). EDMUND R. MOORE 1 crme Here is the double of the famous balloonist. Professor Piccard. Some think Edmund even went up in the air with the Professeur, for he hasn’t been the same since. During school hours, Ed is very quiet, but on the athletic field, he again becomes high-minded. ( He’s a high jumper.) Track (1, 2, 3, 4). ELSIE MUTII Els In this corner, we have a peppy, little redhead named Elsie. W hat an aide to East I-ansdowne when Elsie joined the ranks ! 1 lere’s a girl who would rather dance than eat. Xo wonder that she’s so slender ! And is she a good basketball player? Class team, every year. Hccbey Class (2): Basketball Class (2, 3, 4); Track (2); Drama Club, Chorus (1). FLORENCE F. MORTON Pete Secretary Florence is practically tlu most efficient girl in the Commercial Department. Just ask Mr. Christ. She has been on the Student Council, a monitor, and has l een honored in a number of other ways. Perhaps she is a little quiet and subdued, but Florence always has a cheerful smile for every one. Student Council (1); Corresponding Secretary in Council (4): Handbook Committee (4): Lahian staff (4); Freshman Party Committee (1) ; Ring Committee (4); Monitor (3. 4) ; National Honor Society (4). EUGENE D. PARSONS ' Pa rsni ck” P ittsbu rgh Here we have a person who has come all the way from the “smoky” city to attend I-ans-downe. Even though most of the seniors do not know him, they can easily get a recommendation of his fine character from his intimate friends, for “Dal” is the right kind of a fellow. Football (4); Baseball (3, 4); Track (1). -h§( 28 )• -

HARRY ADRIAN McCLURK, Jr. Adc Although Adc hopes to 1) a naval officer some day, he is one person who doesn’t need a uni form and brass buttons to make” a girl. Whenever we see him, we usually see at least one admiring maiden (she frequently has red hair). Well. Ade, here’s hoping your ship comes home loaded with good luck. Football (4); Track (4). HUGH BERNARD McQUAIDF. Mac There is a certain type of pupil, which is hard to find in the Lansdowne Senior class. This type is the quiet, subdued yet well-liked type. Hugh Mc-Quaide is a real representative of this type. Hugh also play a mean game of football, that’s where that big L” on his sweater came from. Football (2. 3, 4): Senior Dance. FRANCIS WILLIAM Me INTIRE Mack Alabama Mack hails from Morton, but he has overcome that handicap. His sparkling wit is often in evidence, and we rarely see him without a smile. His arguments with Walter Roe in the homeroom have helped to speed those dreary minutes before the lunch bell. Basketball (3) ; Track (3) : Glee Club (3, 4). DICK D. MENDHAM Dick Here’s a boy who hails from good old East Lansdowne. Although Dick has not participated in many school activities, he is known as the fellow who can get more people into trouble by making them laugh in the class room than anyone else. The most unusual thing is that he himself never gets caught. Golf (2); Track (2, 3). ELMER McNUTT “Pete” P » Pete,” being one of our class wits, is always the center of a laughing crowd. I f he has no jokes to tell, he will obligingly improvise a few rhythms on his ever-present harmonica. We envy you your good humor. “Pete, and hope you will continue to cheer others as you have us. Math Club (3. 4); Surveying Club (3. 4) : Stage Crew (2): Airplane Club; Freshman Junior Partv (entertainment) (1. 4). ROBERT W. MILLER Miller Univ, of Pcnna. Bob is one of the gifted members of the class. His ingenuity tends towards the making of astronomical telescopes, which we know will repay him in the future. His wise-cracks and pranks in home-room sometimes make us wonder if he’ll ever grow up—but anyway, here’s luck to our future astronomer! Student Council representative (1 ) ; Surveying Club (4) : Math Club (3, 4) ; Photography Club (3, 4). -4 27 ►-

REDD EX Dan Academy of Fine Arts Who is this tall lanky senior, so often discovered lounging near the lower end of the hall?

PYLE Phc Straycrs’ Business School Almost everyone knows this redhead. At least, they should, for during the past two years, she has taken her part in this class as The Angel.” Here’s a girl who has enough school spirit for Lansdowne and Media.

REESE Jinnic Drexcl It takes all kinds of people to make up the world, and “Jinnic” is one of those girls who doesn’t have much to say, but has a pleasant smile. Jin-nie” doesn’t participate in sports, but we wonder why she prefers Springfield basketball games to those of Lansdowne.
