RUTH RUSSELL (Ritthie) June 22, 1917 Kirklyn Commercial Ambition: Stenographer Motto: “Worry not of tomorrow, but take life as it comes.” “Ruthie” admits she wasn ' t meant to climb the tree of knowledge, but she is one of the smartest Senior blondes, and always knows the latest in the way of songs, jokes, or knitting stitches. She has efficiently managed the girls’ basket- ball team for two years. If good looks and a sense of humor count, “Ruthie” will go far. More power to her!

MARY MILDRED FRANCES SIMPSON {JliLlie) December 7, 1917 Overbrook General Ambition : Secretary Motto: “The elevator to success is not running — use the ladder.” “Millie” is the Grade Allen of the Senior Class. If you want to know the wrong answer, just ask “Millie.” But with it all, she is well-liked by her classmates and she really is a snappy dresser. She came to us fresh (!) from West Catholic two years ago and she has done much to help our class in every- thing it has undertaken.

MARCIA JUNE SMITH {Smitty) June 12, 1919 Philadelphia Commercial Ambition: Secretary Motto: “Don’t give up the ship.” Marcia is the bright spot in our class.

BEDLAM NEWS DEBUTANTE PUBLISHES BOOK Miss Dorothea Martin, young socialite, has recently had pub- lished the most talked-of-book of the year, called “How Shall I Tell Mother?” which is said to have caused great consternation in literary circles. Miss Martin says she planned her book while driving his Plymouth and blames her many encounters with offi- cers of the law upon her creative genius, which is apparent only when she is listening to Benny Goodman and doing sixty. TWINS WIN PERFECT BABY CONTEST Little five-year-old Millie and Eddie Bonsall were the joint winners of the Burpee Butter- milk Contest. The judges de- cided to break down and award a double prize of two loving cups. Mrs. Bonsall, who was Mildred Young, M.-N. ’36, and her husband, a well-to-do Broomall merchant, recalled that when they were in high school they won a large silver cup, known in those days as a necking cup. Like father like son, like mother like daughter. NOTED PROFESSOR LEC- TURES AT MARPLE-NEW- TOWN P. T. A. Professor John Courtney, Head of the Chemistry Depart- ment of Hale University, was the guest speaker last night at the Marple-Newtown Parent- Teachers’ Association. He spoke on his recently published book, “Not Dead But Sleeping,” or “Interrupted Dreams.” Before entering the field of practical chemistry. Professor Courtney was head of the Mathematics Department at Flexall Institute in Philadelphia. GOVERNESS OF CHILD ACTRESS KIDNAPPED Miss Anna Ford, governess of Surly Pimple, the child actress, disappeared suddenly and com- pletely last Monday night. No word has been received, but it has been reported that a mys- terious phone call was received by Surly’s mother, the former Betty Campbell. Mrs. Pimple’s secretary. Miss Klodarska, de- nied knowledge of any such phone call. FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT INAUGURATED Miss Priscilla Reedy, who was led into office yesterday as the first Woman President, says she owes her success to her campaign speeches which were the same ones she used as a girl in high school when she hadn’t prepared her lesson. Her cabinet mem- bers include: Miss Jeanette Wallace, who will direct Federal Female Athletics, and Miss Nelda Michener, who will pub- lish a short booklet on “How Every Girl Can Be An ‘A’ Student.” COMEDY TEAM ENDS LONG RADIO CONTRACT Simpson and Marston have just ended one of the longest radio contracts. Millie Simpson is the girl who began at Marple- Newtown by worrying Grade Allen, but Miss Simpson has become famous for her own brand of comedy. She still thinks love is when two people chew the same piece of gum and that a straw is something you drink soda water through two of them. Her partner is returning to his first love — the classics. ■=il 12
