22 U P I - D A H MABEL D. HYLAND •'A lady. sir. by many accounted beautiful.” Allow us to introduce you to Dame Fash- ion who upholds the class in the world of style. Mabel has been with us only three short months but. like all other seniors, has become well known. She is a wizard! She has done something none of us have ever done—she has captured our President. No. not around school, but at the Craftsman and the Century. Good-bye, Scottie! GERALD JAMESON “Jerry” ‘•I pride myself. I am a stubborn man.” Jerry doesn't talk much, you can see that in his deep, unfathomable eyes, but when he does he speaks sagely. One of the things that he says is that some morning he ex- pects to wake up and find himself famous. We hope it conies true. Jerry is conspicu- ous by his silence, rather than by his voice, and consequently, we don't know as much about him as about some others of whom we would know less. Football.

JOHNSON “Johnny Paul” ••Some love two. some love three, I love one and that is me.” Carl seems to have been a very busy boy in his Senior year, but we know of several who would gladly have taken his part, es- pecially in the last act of the Play. He tells us his hobby is closing up scenes, and we don't blame him. He is noted for his great oratorical ability and his silver tongue” led to his great success in the Senior Play, the Triangular Declamation Contest, and at Swart hmorc.

SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 21 LOUISE G. HAMILTON “Lu” ••A talker, a writer, a player too. The definition that stands for Lu.” Mrs. Fritz Kreisler, our violin wonder. She certainly can tickle a mean violin. She is known for her talking, as most of the class is. but it has caused her fame. Instead of a low deportment mark she receives high marks in debating. With a chin, such as you sec. you can tell her middle initial stands for “Grit. Orchestra. (2-3-4): Music Club. (3-4): Debat- ing: Team. ELIZABETH J. HAND “Frizz” And most of all, I feel the cruel madness of love.” She has gone and done the deed! Be after saving up your pennies for that present. We are all very sorry that the photographer couldn’t get that solitaire in the picture but. you see, she can wear it only on Saturdays. Sundays and holidays. She belonged to last year’s Senior Class but when she saw how good we were she left a year and then came back to graduate with us. All kinds of good luck and happiness. Frizz, from the class.

HART “Bee A bobbed-hair source of mischief she, Wherever she is, we like to be.” Here’s one of the “Gold Dust Twins.” The Gold is for the light in her hair, and the good fellowship in her heart. Bee is one kind of girl in school—quiet, dreamy and reserved—but when she is out with the crowd—refer to her quotation. She threw away her quietness when she bobbed her hair. She is a dear classmate and a true friend and we wish her many happy days to come. Snap-shots of 1921; Tennis Club. (4).

SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 23 ROBERT D. JOHNSON Dud “My heart Is wax to be moulded as she pleases.” Attention, ye who leaf these pages. Ab- sorb the noble features of Robert. Truly he is a fair youth. But although his features are those of a lady’s man. he is one of the greatest scrappers on our school teams, and is fighting all the time. Bob’s hobby is going over to Collingdale every Friday and Saturday night to sec a certain young lady. Her name is..........? We won’t give him away. Vice-President.

Because she is too clever.” And now we present to you for considera- tion the other Gold Dust Twin. Thcl and Bee arc always seen together. Thcl has no rival in gym work and can stradlc a horse like a true jockey. She came to us from West Philly and their loss was our gain. She has added to our fun. and helped us in our work, and contributed to the many “Call-downs” the Senior girls received for their constant talking.

DOROTHY HENRIETTA KNIGHT “Retta “An earnest girl, with gentle ways, You scarce know she’s about. Did you ever know she possessed the name of Dorothy? Neither did we until Mr. Tyson unearthed it last September. Miss Knight hasn't a whole lot to say but. when she does say. she says. If anyone would tell us a day when Mr. Savage didn’t ask her to read the Economics lesson, we could predict snow for Commencement. Never mind. Retta. everyone of us likes you anyway. Glee Club.
