Who is that faithful girl friend, Mary, that can be found waiting outside of room 21. waiting to discuss topics of Upper Darby High? Maybe “Football”. Junior Prom Committee (3). JOSEPH LIYTNGTONE GERRY Everyone knows Lansdownc’s little star track meteor.

NORMA MABEL DICKERSON Norma’s unpretentiousness wins friends for her everywhere. Although she seems very shy and reserved at school, we are told that she is loads of fun to he with outside. And one of last year’s seniors seems to think so, too. MARGARET ALBERTA DORLAND Margy, who holds so much influence in our class, is one of those quiet brunettes. Almost everyone knows that she hails from the “Big City’’ (Morton . She’ll make some handsome employer a swell secretary because she’s one of our best commercial it ies. We hope he’s a nice boss, too. Garnet and Gray (2, 31. DORIS ANNABLE DRAKE Here’s our Prima Donna. Of course, she’s a feminine RubinofT, too.

EICHOLTZ Fred knows what he is about when it comes to Math or Physics, and the thing we like is that he isn’t stingy about his information, and is perfectly willing to help a friend out. He is one of the few people gifted with the art of “taking people for a ride’’ with a perfectly straight face. EMILY VIVIAN ERICKSON Irrepressible! That’s the word. Teachers or no teachers, Vivian is sure to he bubbling over with giggles. Ever try to find her in the halls? Just stand still, and sooner or later (probably sooner) she’ll appear. She is vivacity personified. Art Committee for Junior Freshman Party (3). AUDREY ELLEN DICKSON Need a friend? Here’s one, and a good one, too. Though she doesn’t say much, we know that Audrey is always there with her friendly smile and endearing ways. She’s a standby in the Commercial department—always ready to depress the keyboard, if need comes. Garnet and Gray (4). National Honor Society (4). WALTER GILBERT DOWNWARD, Jh. Walter aspires to be an opera singer. His success we do not question, for we’ve heard him sing. He is interested in boats, and is art editor of the Lahian. Such versatile interests can only have one result. Walter will be our first singing yachtsman. Lahian Art Editor (4). Dramatics (2, 4). Chorus (1, 2, 4). Math Club (3, 4L Dance Committee (2, 3, 4). WILLIAM G. DUKEK, Jk. Versatile Bill! As an actor, debater, scholar, he is proficient.

ERDMAN It never fails—that is, hardly ever. Seniors rush madly over to the Biology room for candy—and—ker-bump—there is Arthur! We think he ought to open a candy store of his own, so proficient a helper of Mr. Epley is he. Lahian (4). JEAN ANNE EVANS Looking for some one with personality? Jean Anne has all you want. We don’t mean the noisy kind, for “Jan’’ is not noisy. She’s the kind of friend who can wear for ages. Her chief weaknesses are: hockey, tennis, and writing. Hockey (4). Tennis (3.4). Lahian (3, 4).

HERBERT S. GLASBY, Jr. When you want rhythm, see Glasby. This young man can certainly put a sail into a clarinet and proceed to make it talk. His comrade-in-arms, Ken Walker, and he are always to be seen together concocting some more melody to sooth the souls of study room “studes”. Band (2.3,4). Orchestra (4). Math Club (3, 4). HAROLD BURST GREEN Harold is a familiar figure on the football field. How nobly he held those yard-markers! He is the editor of numerous publications, including the Math newspaper. He is recogniziblc either by that quizzical eyebrow or the swanky brown overcoat. Track Manager (4». Math Club (3, 4». Editor A. G. T. Review (3). Cheerleader (2, 3. 4 . Monitor (4 . Dance Committees (2, 3). MARGARET SUSAN HAMILTON Though she may seem quiet at school you really should be with her out of school some time. She is always willing to lend one whatever one needs. Moreover, she has a really famous giggle. Class Basketball (1, 2). Junior Prom Committee (3). C. JACK HANSEN Behold the musical master mind! Some day we expect to hear Jack on the “White Owl” program in place of Guy. His marks are as excellent as his music. We often wonder how he finds time to entertain a certain blonde senior. Carnet and Gray (4). Orchestra 3, 4). Dance Committee (4). Noon Dance Committee (4). Monitor (3. 4). CATHARINE GEORGIANNA HASLETT Kitty is not a stranger to any of us because she’s been with us practically all of our school life. She’s a pal as kind and as enthusiastic as she is tall. She’s fond of basketball, and we’ve yet to see any guard keep her from making a good pass or basket! Basketball (2). EDYTHE H. GOSS Happy-go-lucky “Gossie” is one of the popular girls in our class. No one need tell us she is a good dancer. The football season is well past, but we still wonder whose sweater that was she wore with the big “M” on it. Won’t you tell us, “Gossie”? Garnet and Gray (3). CHARLES J. HALLOWELL A fine disposition, an excellent dancer, a boy admired by everyone, sums up Charles. He is one of the few boys who gets his homework done—and on time! We wonder if it’s his eyes which attract the girls—or maybe the dimples. Student Council (4). Math Club (3, 4). Surveying Club (3, 4). FRANK J. HAMPEL Zoom. Zoom, Zoom! That’s Frank on the big bass viol. The school orchestra profits by his assistance. He possesses feet that won’t keep still when there is music around, hair that won’t stay in place, and dark brown eyes. Rather a nice combination! Tennis (3, 4). Track (2). Soccer (3, 4». Monitor (3). Orchestra (2. 3, 4 . Dance Committee (2. 3, 4). THOMAS BOLTON HARRISON. Jr. Tom, the debonair sportsman! He’s a wrestler of no mean ability on mat and trumpet: he also thrives on work. Journalism. Student Council, and just plain work. Track claims him for its own. lie can hurdle anything, exams or wooden supports. Football (3. 4». Wrestling f 4». Track 2. 3, 4 . Student Council 4». Garnet and Gray 4L Band (1. 2, 3. 4). Senior Dance (4). ABRAM HAUPT Abe is one of Lansdowne’s mighty wrestlers. But. unlike some wrestlers they tell us about, his brains are as great as his brawn. He’s a keen German hound, an able scientist, a math magician, and loves his little joke, even when it’s on him. Wrestling (4). Aviation Club (1 . Camera Club (1, 2). Surveying Club (3. 4). 21
