SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 19 ROYER CARLON Tubby” A little mite who thinks himself the whole cheese. Meet the foremost rival of Mike Dorizas. although we think he would make a better butler. Royer's chief ambition is to put Barmim and Bailey out of business, but the worries of basketball manager have retarded him in this enterprise. At this time we think it fitting and proper to extend our congratu- lations to a young lady named Eleanor, for having bagged such a prize. Mgr. of Basketball. (4); Senior Play: Foot- ball. l). JAMES E. CARR “Jim” ••As idle as a painted ship, upon a painted ocean.” Jim is our business man. His greatest ambition is to get more ads; but may we add another condition, with the aid of his fair helper. From Jim's accent in the Senior Play, taking the part of Anton Huber, the Irishman, you would think he was Dutch, but. in reality, he is a Kanyuch. Jim expects to make left check on the Checker Team at Penn and to become a second Webster. Track Squad. (3-4): Senior Play: Business Manager Upl-Dnh; Debating Team; Tennis Club: Cheer Loader. Babe” My lord, here Is a note of certain dues.” See that mouth and that chin? Regular Wm. S. Hart features! No. Frances can't ride a horse nor throw a lasso but she can write stories and she can talk every other debater to death. Frances is the Shylock of the class and she does not need a pair of priors to get the dues. It is her winning way that makes the boys hand over every- thing. Some day she is going to have her lingers slapped for marking the desks. Cpl-Dah. (2-3-4): Debating Team; Glee Club. (1-2-3): Class Treasurer. (4); Tennis Club. (I).

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. (2-3-4): Senior Play: Class Trea- surer. (2): Soccer. (1 -2-3-4). Can’t (4): Basket- ball. (2-3-4): Baseball. (2-3-4). Cnp’t (2). WILLIAM M. BUCHANAN “Bill” ••All the great men are dying and I feel sick myself. Bill is the man at the helm of the good ship “Upi-Dah. and well has it progressed under his watchful eye. 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. (4): Senior Play: Decla- mation Contest. (2): Soccer. (2-3-4): Baseball. (2-4). MARIE B. BUSCH “Bessie. Love” •’Of Tom. 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).

U P I - D A H WAGNER FANNING “Fanny” “And he talked of great things—grasshoppers. etc.” Give this fair person the once over, ladies, but keep control of your hearts. Do not let them leap out of hounds. Once upon a time Fanny had a moustache and some one jolly- ingly remarked that there was a football game on his lip—eleven on each side. Wagner is of artistic temperament for he is a violinist with a great future. Orchestra. (2-3-4): Senior Play: Music Club. (3-4); Declamation Contest. (2). Fetts” “The very want of tongue makes thee a kind of fame. Gaze upon our most unsophisticated Senior. George has never been seen talking with a girl, seldom with a hoy, for that matter. Hut that’s not against him. how often have we wished that some of his classmates had this characteristic in larger quantity. Lately he has been perusing volumes from the lib- rary for his Senior Essay on the subject, “How to raise the Eye-less Potato.” Track. (2-3-4), Captain, (4); Football, (I), Captain. (I); Senior Play. HOWARD GIBSON “Gibby” “When taken, to be well shaken.” Another of our track men, also another of our silent members. He is a quiet unassum- ing chap and is noticeable by his inconspic- uousness. He is interested in wireless and would rather operate a wireless than eat. We hope that someday he may emblazon his name on the path of fame and become a second Marconi. Track. (3-4).
