Ill lllll lHl lll'lClll Sl lllll lll l947? ln the Class ol' V17 there are llll members. Ol' these, there are seven most charming ladies. Since they are in such a minority, they unl'ortunately must, be excluded lrom our search. Deducting the seven, leaves IO3 gentlemen. Oli these, 66 are veterans and, be- cause ol their tnahjority, the deduction is that the typical senior is a male veteran. Thus, we are well on the trail to find the typical senior ol our class. As to residence, there are 28 dillerent cities and towns represented. Philadelphia, with till delegates and 21 various postal zones repre- sented, leads. XVilmington is in second place with ll, and Upper Darby third with ti. Other l0WVllS 1'ClJl'CSCll ICKT 2ll'CI Aidan, Pa. Atlantic City, N. Audubon, N. Burlington, N. Camden, N. Cedars, Pa.

Since that time, the class has built up as lol- lows: lEl28 lllfi-l N29 1935 l93O i936 l93l H337 H133 1938 N259 I5 lil-12 ti lllelll lil lllllfi l2 lllell l l lll'lLl 2 This tabulation shows most 'Ll7'ers started in 1937. Many seniors started around this time but their education was interrupted be- cause ol circumstances beyond their control. Those starting in ISP37 and eligible because of previous cptalilications are: Bill Murphy, Bill Hloods, -lim Brewer, lim Buckman, Gene Green, and Frank Holmes. Going next to the matrimonial status, we lind 54 in wedded bliss and 56 not so inclined. Being single, then, is another requirement. This eliminates lim Brewer and Frank Holmes. Still lighting on lor the title are Bill lvlurphy, Bill XVoods, jim Bucknlan and Gene Green. Various types ol' sports are the favorite hobby of most ol our class members. Of our lour survivors only Gene Green has no hob- bies, so he is eliminated. The diversification in hobbies is shown below:
