IAM ES BARON E BRX'N MAWR As is the case with most quiet people, there was much more to James than met the eye. He was not only a very good student, getting high marks, but he had a keen sense of humor. James had a passion for various kinds of music and for Western stories. When he left school, he left many friends, for he was the consistent, dependable type of person that can always get along in this world. French Club 1233 Science Club 1435 Mimeograph Club 143. BETTINA M. BARTLE I?vffiv ARDMORE Sparkling, hazel eyes and a big grin were asso- ciated with Bettie, one of our more sophisticated young ladies, yet one of the jolliest. Her keen sense of humor was even more frequently enjoyed outside of school than inside. When asked her favorite hobby, her prompt reply was invariably, Pets and sports, especially horses and swimming. There was a marked indecision, however, about the favorite study, which was mentioned only in a tiny voice. Girls' Hi-Y 12, 3, 43. EDWARD BARTLETT Nod NARBERTH Ned was a large, strapping, burly fellow and a splendid football player. He was a great asset to our 1932 Championship Football Team and helped it through many a tough spot. One of Ned's out- standing hobbies was acting, and he portrayed roles in a great many school plays. Every Spring found Ned an ardent tennis devotee, and he exhibited his splendid sportsmanship both on the tennis court and football field.

BILLIE BIEBER ARDMORE Billie was distinguished not so much because of her height but because of the grace and dignity which accompanied it. Being quite skilled in elocution, Billie was perfectly poised and entirely at ease before any audience. Her favorite diversion was dancing, although riding and dramatics received their proper share of enjoyment. Whenever her ready replies failed her, one characteristic expression, Oh, for goodness sake! was certain, from her, to fit the occasion. I .. . ,axe flgifvks-1 few sl' may Page Tzvczzty-sercnz L6

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.

gc Tfuvllty-viylzt GIDEON BOERICKE, IR. B fm WYNNEWOOD Boe was that tall boy who always brought the crowd to school in his Ford. He was the kind of person who would grant you anything he could in his power and expect nothing in return. Although he procrastinated, he never failed to have his work in on time. A good-natured fellow, Boe always had a cheerful remark for those he met. We wondered if he would ever just miss coming into English before the late bell. IACK BOERICKE NIERION If you ever had a desire to see a series of spas- modic motions, you should have visited the gym and watched Jack execute those intricate transitions which unite to make up a front flip. This physical agility was a great contrast to his deliberateness of address. With this characteristic slowness of speech, he might have been said to rival even the proverbial wooden Indian. His perseverance, however, came to the fore in taking difficult situations in hand. French Club 1435 Science Club 12, 3, 433 Gym Club 143, Merionite Staff 123. IOSEPH R. BOSSONE Jac NARBERTH Joe was one of our fine athletes, his stellar perform- ances on the gridiron being well remembered. He exhibited his ability not only on the football field but on the tennis court and on the ice as well. Engineer- ing seemed to be Joe's ambition and also the sub- ject of his endless reading. He read upon other sub- jects also and had great knowledge of things which were out of the ordinary. These qualities plus his willingness distinguished Joe. Football 1433 Track 143. ' REUBEN B. BOWEN NARBERTH The one boy in school who usually got a rise out of anybody was Reuben Bowen, best known as the class magician. He was forever joking and fooling someone. But seriously, he was clever, ambitious, and had the force to carry a thing through. If any- one at Lower Merion might have been said to have had a hobby, the statement most certainly applied to Reuben, for he became an accomplished producer, in fact, a young Ziegfeld.
