MAI RICE ANTHONY NORCROSS “You’ve got to be a football hero to get along with a beautiful girl,” must be Norky’s motto. Good sport and good-natured, this star sheds a shining light around the halls of Lansdowne. And the beautiful girls? .... They abound! We like Maurice; we’re proud of him. Football (2. 3, 4). Dramatic Club 2, 3). Chorus (3, 4). Wrestlin 4). RAYMOND MORLEY Ray claims no relationship to Christopher Morley. Haven’t you heard his remark. For heaven’s sake don’t try to find skeletons in my family closet”? He is one of our class who has completely mastered the art of being nonchalant without smoking a Murad (adv.). Keep that ready smile, Ray; it’s one of your greatest assets. ANNE H. Ml LUKIN Ann’s nicknames, though she hales them all. tell us something about her. She’s tiny but easy to find. Never mind.

Suburban Music Festival (2. 3l. ROBERT WARREN MURRAY Oh, those laughing eyes! Are they laughing with us or at us?

Chorus 2. 3). Senior Dance Committee (4). CLAIRE ELIZABETH NEYMAN Betty’s that amazing young lady beneath whose modesty lies a magnificent personality. What fine qualities we find in her!

Garnet and Gray (4). Chorus (3.) RUTH ADEL MORLEY Ruth’s a cheery soul who finds herself constantly missing school through illness, yet she takes such unpleasantness with a smile. We’re sorry to say that we see so little of her. yet she is most welcome when she’s with us, for she has such a friendly disposition. Hockey (2 . Basketball (2,3). Tennis (2). VINCENT J. MUSI “Little Caesar”, as he is called by hi?- friends, suits “Vince” to a “T”. All of us know that there is an attraction for him in South Philadelphia, but how that “relic on four wheels” ever carries him there will always remain a mystery. Soccer (3). ANITA L. MURPHY Whence that snappy music? Sounds like the girls’ section of the gym—and it is. None other than Anita is tickling the ivory, much to the satisfaction of all irirls involved. And can she dance! Both ways at that dance floor or stage. Garnet and Gray (4). Dramatics (2. 3, 4 . Spohomore Dance (2). Freshman-Junior Party (3). Senior Dance (4).

WILLIAM D. McCl'LLY When Bill is mentioned one automatically thinks of a short, lark-haired figure dashing up and down the soccer field.

Sophomore Hop Committee (2). CAMERON WELLS McPHAlL May we introduce Cam, the lucky owner of a most contagious grin and a pair of twinkly blue eyes?

Stamp Club (4t. VINCENT df. PAUL McGARRY We all know the brown hair and freckles that drag around the Irish lisp that was “Joe Bullit”. Due to much practice off-stage.

Class Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). EMILY ANNE McKENNA Here’s a girl for you, a regular girl, almost too good-natured in her willingness to please.

Jr. Bill was ami always will be in the open . . . howr could he hide that robust form?

Jr. Flash: “Stage hands wear fringed pants and blotchy shirts,” Graham takes up the fad. He’s worth going back stage and taking a squint at.
