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

Although he joined us early in the senior year, he has already made a name for himself as a wrestler and a good sport. He’s a typical example of a little man making good in a great big way. Wrestling (4). MARYJANE BERNADINE GEGAN If you want to find Mary just page Lily Lohr. 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. When he isn’t out burning up the oval, he’s sitting in English class trying to demonstrate the futility of poetry to Miss McCullough. And of course we’ll all remember his star reporting on the G. and G. Track (3. 4 . Soccer (4). Carnet and Cray (4). Math Club (3, 4).

If you have never seen him take such a part in a play, you have missed a real treat. John, be sure you don’t let the dagger slip some lime. And soccer—well, he’s always under the ball. Football 1, 2). Soccer f3, 4). Track (1, 2, 3, 4). Dramatics (2, 3, 4). Orchestra (1, 2). ELIZABETH FOSTER Personality plus.

EDGAR THOMAS GIBSON Here’s another one of Lansdowne’s little men. “Eggs” is the skillful navigator of one of the first class ships forming the “Ford” navy that anchors around the school every day.

BLANCHE HAUS Blanche is the object of all the girls’ jealousies. No wonder—with brunette locks such as hers. Never does Blanche’s hair look awry or mussed, no matter how tedious the day. The hoys seem to admire it also, or it may he her smile. Who knows? HELEN ELIZABETH HERBERT Though Betty seldom says much, we can see that she notices a lot. However, she has quite a lot of spirit when it’s aroused: one of her favorite hobbies is to argue with the teachers. Nevertheless, all the teachers seem to enjoy it and like Betty. THELMA GERTRUDE HOCKMAN You have certainly seen Thelma going around school, hut the question is. “Is it Thelma or Theresa?” However, when you really know her, you can tell a difference. She is quieter than her twin. In spite of that, she is full of cheer and a real pal to all who know her. DANIEL A. HOFFMAN Lansdownc’s original get-rich-quick man! Dan is a keen economist (just let him get started in Problems class), and is not had at all in picking at the piano. As chief electrician, he is the moving force behind the stage crew. Wrestling (4). Stage Crew (2, 3, 4). EDWARD D. HOMILLER Yes, Ed is the bright spot in the class. An accurate surveyor, an exacting scientist, a stupendous mathematician, he seems hound to become a great engineer. He also is active on tile Garnet and Gray and Lahian business staffs, and seems to he a veritable walking encyclopedia. What a man! Lahian 2. 3. 4). Garnet and Gray (4). Math Club (3. 4). Surveying Club (3, 4). National Honor Society (3. 4). Dance Committees 2, 3, 4). JOSEPH GEORGE HEFFRON Joe is undoubtedly Lansdowne’s greatest matinee idol. His acting is absolutely too devastating.

Student Council (4). Dramatics (2, 3, 4). Senior Dance Committee (4). LILLIAN ELISABETH HIRST Betty’s a girl with a lot of mischief in her. to say nothing of her hearty chuckle. Maybe this is what attracts the males, because Betty is always teasing them and making them like it, too. Any class could he interesting with Betty’s giggle pervading it. Class Basketball (2, 3). Dramatics 2). Chorus (2). THERESA IRENE HOCKMAN You can’t tell the twins apart? Well just you say something funny; Theresa will burst into such hilarity as you never have heard before. Besides being famed for her giggle, her pleasantness has won many a heart. Theresa has a great fondness for swimming and dancing. JEWELL HOLLOWAY One of the most charming girls in our class is Judy. And what a cute western accent she has! Seeing the huge circle of friends she has tells just how nice she is. By the way, her clothes are the envy of every girl. Hockey (2. 3, 4).
