JAMES NOBLE NONAMAKER What a man! What a physique! Who could it be but Mr. Nonamaker? Well known for his athletic ability, he is better known for talkativeness. If you don’t think he’s a “swell guy”, just ask a certain pair of brown eyes. Class President (1). Football (1. 2, 3, 4). Track (1, 2. 3, 4). Wrestling (4». Student Council (1. 2). Math Club 4».

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.

ELLEN POWELL Amiable, helpful, a good sport, artistic and a dash of swell sense of humor—and there is Ellen.

DONALD ROBERT REDDEN Don is that long and lanky fellow' who hails from Springfield. He wields a mean tennis racquet and is as proficient at this game as he is at cracking dry jokes and springing a bit of salesmanship on one. Don is well liked by everyone, we know. Tennis 2. 3. 4 . Garnet and Gray (4). Laiiian (4t. Junior Prom Committee (3). HARRY I). REICHERT According to his own testimony, Harry likes swimming, boating, sleeping, and eating.

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.

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!

Art Committee for Band Dance (4). Senior Play. BEATRICE RUTH MOSLEY Here’s the girl who deserted Upper Darby to attend Lansdowne. Congratulations. Beatrice, for your excellent choice! An expert typist with an amiable disposition, Beatrice has been warmly received by us, although it is rumored she has a warmer reception from one of the Purple and Gold. Lucky boy! 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.

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).

ALGON KEITH Perhaps he isn’t the person picked out as the most talkative in the class, yet we all know that “All pones’ ” good sense and faithfulness will make him firm friends and admirers. Those of us who do talk perhaps too much are comforted at finding one who knows how to keep quiet. Track (4). D. BRADFORD RILE Since the beginning of time red hair has been a mark of distinction. Though times have changed, this fact still holds good. Bunny possesses that much desired companion. Good Luck. His left foot must he endowed with the charm of that of his namesake! Golf (2, 3. 4). Dramatic Club (2, 3. 4). Senior Dance Committee 4 . JEAN BLANCHE RUSSEL Jean is a quiet girl around school, but how she does warble in chorus. She is a willing helper, and one you can rely upon. This means a lot when we come down to “brass tacks . WILLIAM ALLEN SCHLOSSER Here’s another member from the “clan” of Springfield. He has made quite a name for himself in soccer at that big institution of learning in Lansdowne. We know some day we will see his name in big headlines for outstanding work in athletics. Football (2). Baseball 4 . Track (3 . Soccer (3. 4). Monitor (3). PHYLLIS MADELINE SEl BEL She comes tripping down the hall in her what is it—size four shoes? The girls all sigh as they gaze at them.

ROSALINE RI DLEY The little girl who loves to dance! In fact, Rosaline likes everything that’s “peppy”. She came to Lansdowne just two years ago. hut has proved to be an excellent student.

Incidentally, she has a marvelous disposition, likes to talk, and never worries. MARY SUE SAUNDERS “Will you loan me your comb?” 'Phis is a warning that Mary is near.

PAULINE ESTELLE SEACRIST We always see Pauline dashing around the hall with Betty Herbert, exclaiming over her typing or shorthand. If she types as fast as she walks, we know she’ll make a good secretary. Freshman Party Committee (1). Junior Prom Committee (3 . CARRLSTON CASPER SHARP Budd was new to Lansdowne’s halls this year, hut it didn’t take him long to acquire popularity. Everyone likes him for his fine sense of humor, and he is always surrounded by a little group of hilarious students. However, he does have his graver moments . . . says he to his seven women . . . you know the rest. Washington Trip Committee (4). 28
