JANE SIMPLER Jane’s another Purple and Gold deserter, an attractive little blonde with a charming personality. What hoy has failed to notice this new arrival, or what girl has not envied her lovely clothes? We’re proud to know you, Jane, to have you as a member of our illustrious class. EDITH J. SMITH Who’s this rushing in at the last minute, or maybe not at all? To be sure, it’s Edith. But that doesn’t worry her in the least. She nonchalantly saunters in and continues to her classes. We’ve heard she doesn’t go with many girls, but boys—well—??? KATHARYN F. SMITH Whom have we here hut Katharyn the quiet, Katharyn the wise? She may be quiet, hut she is a good friend to everybody. When she’s called on in French, you know she’ll translate correctly, and she’s a joy to her teachers for that reason. rfockey (It. Math Club (3). Sophomore Hop (2). Senior Dance (4). Golf (3). DONALD ALBERT SOMERVILLE Who has not been thrilled by Don’s rendering of those cornet solos? Although he blows a mean trumpet. Don is there in baseball (that old cap he wears). How about those big loads of books he carries home every night? Does he study from them? You guess. Band (1, 2, 3, 4). Orchestra (3, 4). VIRGINIA D. STOCKETT Hail Lansdowne’s. or rather East Lansdowne’s future Katherine Cornell. She’s an excellent actress, has lots of pep. and a cute giggle.

Orchestra (4). FION A CURTIS SLA DEN Meet the best Latin student in Lans-downe. (Ask Miss Cook!) Every noon she tries to learn her Latin before she enters room 42. Her ambition is to become a nurse. Mmm—with those eyes and that smile.......... MARIAN READER SNYDER Good sport, good friend, good-looking girl—that’s Marmcc. Athlete, dramatist, dog-lover, and “belle”.

ROBERT SI DDARDS Bob is a boy who is “a joy forever, because he is so easy to talk to. Conversation is never strained when “Suds” is around as—he does his part. A likeable young chap he is, too.

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. Who could forget her discussions in English class! Next to Joel and Greta Garho, Rosaline likes cream puffs. MARY FRANCES RUSHTON That attractive girl with the cheerful smile? Yes. that’s Mary. And she’s riuht there with a snappy answer, too. We understand she enjoys not only iHiokkecping, but other things as well, for she is very popular in a social way. 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.

Secretary of Student Council 4 . Dramatics (2, 3). Hi-Y 4 . Sophomore Dance Committee (2). National Honor Society (4).

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

HOWLAND STOTT “Early to Led and early to rise” must be Rowland’s motto, for he is usually awake hours before the ordinary senior jumps out of bed. We all like him. this tall boy who never says much, but has a smile and twinkle in his eye that indicate a good sense of humor. French Club (4). WILLIAM B. SUHRIE Bill’s the original silent man of the class. He is a cracker-jack soccer player. a brilliant scientist, a protege of the Algebra class, and one of the valiant few who took four years of Latin without letting it take him. Soccer (3, 4). Debating (31. Math Club (3, 4). French Club (4). DA VIDA ELIZABETH TAYLOR Here’s a lovely young classmate we can’t easily forget. She swings a mean srolf club, and she did wonders on the basketball team. She’s forward, yet at the same time so shy, we can’t fathom this dual personality. Davy’s a mystery; she’s fascinating. Basketball (2, 3. 4). Golf (3, 4). Hi-Y (4). Dance Committee (2, 4). MARGARET VIRGINIA VERNON Here’s a member of a merry gang. They take the cake for yells at football games, screams at basketball, chatter in the halls and cheer in classrooms. But you’re individual, too, Ginny. We feel at ease with you, and you cheer us up. Student Council (4). Hi-Y (4). Junior Prom (3). Freshman Party (1). Sophomore Hop (2). VINCENT J. VISCIDY Vince claims credit of being bass-drum banger for the last few years. And not only that, he plays some thingamajig (which makes noise) in the orchestra. This noise-making career makes up for his extreme quiet in class. But he’s a very likeable chap just the same. Wrestling (4). Band (1. 2. 3. 4). Orchestra (3). RITA JEAN SULLIVAN Rita’s the girl who willingly pounds the typewriter to supply all school organizations with understandable papers. She also supplies us with versatile and interesting original compositions, which some day we’ll have occasion to point out to visitors as the work of the famous authoress. R. Sullivan, once our beloved classmate. Basketball (3). Carnet and Gray (3. 4). Monitor (3). JANE ELINOR TUKE • Here’s that ultra-modern young lady with the old-fashioned name of Jane. Her charming smile and clever wit have established an indelible place for her in our hearts. Did I hear the name George? No, he’s not an exception. Peace be with the monitors when these two graduate! LOUISE VETTER Louise is a girl who knows and likes everyone. Her willingness to help all of us has made her a great favorite in the senior class. No wonder she can help us, for she certainly knows her subjects. By the way, her taste runs to brunettes! Lamian (4). Dramatics (2, 3). Sophomore Dance Committee (2). Monitor (3). RITA THERESA VITULLI If you see a short, dark-haired girl walking down the hall not saying much, you know that’s Rita, but if you have been in her company outside of school, you will find that she makes fun for all. Want to see her blush? Just ask her if she knows Harry. Hockey (3, 4). MARY F. WALL Mary is a small bit of a carrot-topped individual with a fleeting smile and a cheerful word for everyone. Although she’s very modest about it. she can imitate Greta Garbo to a “T”! Bel you can’t guess bow we found that out, Mary. Dramatics (3. 4). Senior Dance Committee (4). Monitor (3). 30
