SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 17 ANNA P. BENSON “Banna “A quiet, gentle little thing.” Can you imagine it? Banna. Kernel Grit's permanent passenger, laying claim to that. Anna has saved enough money this past year to pay her class dues and establish a home for legless frogs. Her sole ambition is to keep her hair in curl on rainy days. The only way to do this. Anna, is to run the weather bureau yourself, or to buy a wig. Class Basketball. (2-3-4): Tennis Club, (4). DOROTHY H. BENZING Dot “Little Carbona” “Sweet, petite, and quite witty. Charming, disarming, and pretty.” What do blue eyes, black hair and rosy cheeks make? An Irish beauty? Right! Go to the head of the class! Full of pep and ambition make Dottic a marked girl. Remember basketball? Dot lives in Colling- dalc and she. too. has every Friday and Saturday evening taken. (Don't dare com- pare biographies.) She may grow up some day but we doubt it and hate to see the ball and jumping rope missing at lunch time. Snap-shots 1021: Class Basketball. (2-3-4): Varsity Basketball. (2-3-4): Glee Club, (2-3-4): Music Club. 4: Tennis Club, 4. FRANK BERG “Bergie” “Foolery, sir, docs walk about the earth like the sun; it shines everywhere.” Here he is! Pomeroy, the English butler. On the nights of the Senior Play, Frank had a couple of pillows in his shirt and we ad- mired his looks and carefree manner. Frank is always that way, carefree and careless, and full of fun. Eventually he will grow up and take his share of the world’s burdens, and we arc certain that he will handle them successfully. Football. (4); Track, (2); Senior Play.

16 U P I - D A H MARIAN ALLEN ‘Bright Eyes” ••When she’s around we really can't be sad; She's broken the heart of more than one fine lad.” ‘‘Ah reckon” she has; but tell us. little children, who could resist her. She took U. D. by storm last year and we haven’t gotten over the shock yet. Little Lily may be more than spectator at a weddin’ some day. Marian was honored with the secre- taryship of the class because we liked that little southern lisp and on account of this she is Mr. Cooper’s favorite Chemistry pupil. Secretary of Class. (4); Snap-shots of 1321; Music Club. (I); Declamation Wnlner. (I): Triangular Declamation Winner. MARGARET M. BACHE...............“Bachie “A girl that’s born with red hair will have red hair until she dyes.” Photographs should be in colors to give Bachic a chance to shine. You know how much her attractive appearance added to the Snap-shots of 1921 and to her work as Mrs. Kitty Dupuy. Margaret's interest in school affairs never fails. She is always helping somewhere, and this year her interest has extended even to the Junior Class. If she were in a desert she would help the sand glisten.

(I); Declamation Contest. (3): Debating Team. RUTH BARNES Rudy A dear little girl with virtues many, And as for faults we doubt you’ll find any.” See those lines of intelligence between her nose? They mean that she can write poetry and draw. You can blame Ruth for all those awful cartoons in the Upi-Dah and for the adorning of the pages in this book. She is responsible for the class poem. also, so if you don’t like this poem, why we won't make her poetess laureatess. If ever you hear a new and funny sound coming from Miss Elder’s violin class, you’ll know it is Ruth. Upi-Dah, (4); Year Book: Tennis Club. (4); Knglish Prize Winner. (3).

18 U P I - D A H JOHN G. BUCHANAN Ham” •• 'Tlsn’t because he blooming can’t. It's Just because he blooming won’t.” John is the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of ottr class. Behold! He leads a double life. While at school he is the unsophisticated member of the class: while at nights. Oh! Boy! You'd be surprised. John’s greatest pleasure is beating Darby High. His home run tendency has caused him to be dubbed the Babe Ruth” of Upper Darby. He has recently been seen at our dances and we think this can be connected with the mystery of the nights. Glee Club.

For quite a while he spent his leisure hours in Koch’s Arbor, but recently he returned to the fair suburb of Aldan. He is a good publicity man. and as Mr. Rowlands, in the Senior Play, he gave the Stanlaws quite a boost. Upl-Dah. (2-3-4). ISdltor-ln-chlef. (4); Secre- tary of Tennis Club.

Dick and Harry, the first is suffi- cient.” What on earth will Bessie, love, do without Mother” or Lew next year? “Mother tells her how to act and Lew makes her life miserable. Bessie, love, got her name from the Senior Play, when she had a chance to show a talent that we did not know she had. We have tried to keep count of Marie’s sweaters but it is impossible. You have all noticed how nice she always looks. Snap-shots of 1921: Senior Play: Music Club. (4).
