WENDELL W. ALEXANDER Whity ROSEMONT Wendell, better known as Whity, a much trav- eled young man, having lived in India when a child, received this nickname in description of his fair hair. He kept mathematically exercised on Trig prob- lems. A slight acquaintance might have dubbed him serious, but his humor soon trickled out in contagious giggles. Despite his early life in India, he did not acquire the innate laziness of the Indian, but evinced extreme industry.

The diamond was her first love in the Held of sports. and a certain Wayne team had the pleasure of having Lila a regu- lar spectator at its games. When questioned about the scores, she was frequently heard to exclaim, Are you telling me? We often wondered if the movies were her hobby, for she frequented the talkies a great deal. To account for Lila's quiet- ness, she had the odd ambition of becoming an under- taker. FRANK ANDERSON Andy GLADWYNE Frank was a clear thinker, putting his thoughts into practice and co-operating with both teachers and students by contributing his ideas and knowl- edge. His viewpoints on different subjects were orig- inal and clearly thought out. Frank's generosity was unlimited, and his honesty was unquestionable. As a mechanic, he was a wizard, being able to tell you peculiar characteristics about each make of car. In the Way of athletics, Frank enjoyed going out for track, in which he was a hard worker.

When Chug wanted a thing to'be done, he concentrated upon it and did it well. Baseball 143. Page T-zvcutv-jivf'

Page Tfuczzly-fum' my DOROTHY ABBOTT Dot NARBERTH Dot excelled in art and, as it was one of her favorite pastimes, she was always improving her ability. If there was a good book around, Dot had assuredly read it. One often found her sitting in a comfortable chair absorbing the contents of some new detective magazine. Dancing also found an entrance into her busy schedule, as one saw her often at social func- tions. Possessing a temperamental nature, Dot was very sincere and modest.

VIRGINIA ABEL Gi111zy NARBERTH Virginia breezed around Lower Merion with an air of sophistication which was balanced by her almost continuous bursts of joyous giggles. This accounted for the popularity which she enjoyed. Virginia also ranked well scholastically. She had ability in riding and golf, but her swimming and diving approached the point of perfection. Her happy-go-lucky nature was a direct contradiction to her neat, well-groomed appearance, which also illustrated her engaging per- sonality. FRANK S. ADAMS Bud ARDMORE Bud's most likeable and outstanding charac- teristic was his humor, for he was able to say things in such a way as to make them funny to his fellow classmates. He very much enjoyed writing and was especially interested in the journalistic field, in which his ideas were both interesting and unique. His other hobbies were music and golf. He played the saxaphone and clarinet, being an outstanding musi- cian, and it was said that he once shot par on the golf course.

WALTER ALBANY Walt ARDMORE Walt's habitual expression was one of serious- ness, and it was always his habit to avoid unneces- sary argument. The occasion was unusual when he wasted time instead of bending his curly head over some of his work. Yet let it not be thought that Walt was not a good fellow. In the Fall he went out on the gridiron to play on the second team. He was one of those who, on this team, took their daily drubbing like heroes. Dramatic Club 13, 43.

I , ' .. Page T'zt'c1zty-si.1: WAYNE M. BABB I3ablJ1'al' BALA-CYNWYD Wayne was a very well mannered youth who was a, dominant and prominent citizen of Bala-Cynwyd. Owing to his ambitious character, he worked in a business man's establishment when needed. It was a difficult matter to get in touch with him in the evening, for, after' 6 P. M., he confined himself to the arduous task of nightly homework. He gained the steady trust of his friends and teachers because of the faith he had in them and others. Baseball 143. MARGARET BAILEY t'Pcggyl' NAIQBERTII Where there was laughter and fun, there was Peggy. A delightfully silly and entertaining person was this black-haired Miss who owned a pair of twin- kling gray eyes. Underneath this gaiety lay a true appreciation of beauty expressed in her enjoyment of music and dancing in which she was talented. The power of serious reflection is seldom found in such a nature as Peggy's, but it belonged to the part of her rarely seen even by her friends. Chorus 1233 German Club 133. IOSEPH FLOURNOY BAKER WMU AIICRION A class is not complete unless it includes in its membership at least one obstreperous son. Joe filled this position in our class to a turn. No prank was without his province, or was anyone immune to his friendly advances. It was a Hi Kay here, and a Hello Mae there. His one aim, it appeared, was to enjoy life, and to his credit, he tried to do this whether in football, track, or detention hall.

She seemed to understand one's troubles and sympathized accordingly. She knew how to give and take in fun, and for this reason one could tease and joke with her. Among other things, Marge was fond of reading and taking long tramps through the woods. It is said that red-heads have fiery tempers, but if Marge had one, it was well under control.
