Sumuunrit Another class has reached the cross-roads of life. May those quali- ties of leadership, sportsmanship, and fellowship, learned in our youth, go with us as we leave these halls of learning. May this book, the final record of the Class of Twenty-five, recall the loving memories of four happy years spent in Upper Darby High School. 2 U P I - D A H Upper Sarluj iltplj rlinnl Hjpimt What is this which morning sunlight Gilds with golden beams? ’Tis our Upper Darby High School Castle of our dreams. Chorus Raise the chorus, keep it ringing Loud her praises tell. Hail to thee, beloved High School! Hail to thee, all hail! Eager faces, bright and joyous Greet thee, day by day. Hastening toward thy halls of learning Sing this joyous lay. 0ei traitmt In recognition of their untiring efforts to mould and develop the class along the lines of greater things, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-five, most respect- fully dedicate this, our greatest achievement, to our Class Advisors, Miss Margaret N. Yerkes and Mr. Lester W. Nelson, as an act of appreciation of their untiring efforts in our behalf. 4 U P I - D A H MARGARET N. YERKES Dear Friends, It is two years that I have been with you; two years in which we have worked together, in which we have played together. A short time, it seems, but long enough to have formed friendships which, I hope, will continue throughout our lives. When we look back on our four years of high school work, it is not the hard, up-hill climb that we remember, but the bright, cheery companions whom we met on the way, the good times that we enjoyed together, and the goal that finally we attained. And so, in the life ahead of you, may you, in your climb toward happiness and success, find joyous companionships and bright realization of your highest aims. Sincerely, MARGARET N. YERKES. U P I - D A H 5 LESTER W. NELSON Dear Friends of Twenty-Five: To-night, you have attained a goal of four years’ standing. I am proud of you and your achievements. With an honesty of purpose and an earnest- ness of effort you have completed a test, and acquitted yourselves as worthy sons and daughters of Upper Darby. You leave behind you an enviable record on platform and athletic fiield, in the class-room and the study,—a record which will live to inspire those who come after you. Opportunity has extended welcoming hands to you and given you an equipment and a training which has fitted you to take a larger place in a wider sphere of life. Your state and nation extend to you a challenge to prove still further your worthiness as citizens, as men and women. The record of your generation will be written by you, and countless others who have not had your training. Yours is a sacred trust, a mighty obligation. Go forth and discharge it. Acquit yourselves as men and women, true to the highest ideals of service. This is my message to you. Sincerely your friend, LESTER W. NELSON. 6 U P I - D A H To the Seniors: My young friends, as you are about to leave the sheltering influence of your high school, I want you to take with you this little bit of life philosophy—True success is not excelling or equalling someone else, but making the most of your own capacities and opportunities. I am very happy to have a place in your Year Book and ask you to accept my thanks for the honor. Very truly your friend, H. M. MENDENHALL. 7 6 U P I - D A H JOHN H. TYSON “It is better to follow even the shadow of the best than to remain content with the worst. Those who would have and see wonderful things must often be ready to travel alone.” The race is not always won by the swift or the strong. Self-reliance often brings the goal to faltering feet. Let us have faith in what Nature has given us, and with that the courage to face the daily tasks of life with “forward face and unrcluctant soul.” “Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back in fear From what the future veils; but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.” JOHN H. TYSON. 8 U P I - D A H JfFarnlty John H. Tyson, Principal Elizabeth D. Turner, Librarian English John H. Tyson Zita E. Mallon, Preceptress Charles H. Morris Margaret N. Yerkes Mrs. Lauretta S.

ADAMS, Jr. “Smada” Before us we have George, the hero of the Junior play, a hurdler, a goal tender on our soccer team, and an all round good fellow. Smada’s one failing is his fondness for the ladies. The combina- tion of George’s blond hair and New York accent proves fatal to many of the girls, and in his latest affair of the heart it is rumored that he has been very successful. We don’t like to hint anything, but George himself admits it’s queer that there arc only three Seniors whose names begin with A. S’all right. Scholastic—I’pt-Dnh (4): Tribunal (3): Play (3). Committees—Junior Senior Reception (3); Dance (3). Athletic—Track (3, 4); Soccer (4). MARY E. ANTHONY Mary is a product of the academic section and is one of the few mortals who has come through a course in economics without flinching. She’s not very big. and she doesn’t spend all her time chatting, but even Mr. Stevens admits that what she says is usually worth while. Mary just arrived at Upper Darby this past year but her attendance at all school activities has proved, beyond a doubt, that she pos- sesses real true spirit. And just by way of informa- tion. that dimple in Mary’s chin has upset the calcu- lations of more than one young senior swain. It’s all right Mary but—why can’t we all have dimples? Committees—Christmas Party (4). ERNEST APPLEGATE “Applejack” Folks, we do you great honor in exhibiting, free of charge, this splendid picture of our illustrious basketball captain. His team brought home the bacon when it won the county championship. Ernie is a three letter man and is all that goes with that honor. Like Cates, lie is a veteran road walker since carfare increased, but he gets to Dot’s home as often as ever. There is a lot more we could tell about this young cavalier but we won’t give him away entirely. After watching him cage loopers on the court, we don’t have to wish him any luck. Athletics—Soccer (2. 3. 4): Basketball (3. 4); Baseball ALICE E. BALL “Peg” Dark brown eves and curly blond hair—what a combination! Then add to this, vivacity, wit. a lot of personality and finally that rare gift of having friends, of keeping friends and of being a friend. Peg often whiles away weary minutes for the inhabitants of 212. by her clever foolishness. Still there’s a lot of sense under that blond hair of hers and Alice has the happy faculty of knowing when to be gay and when to be serious. This old world needs people like you. Alice, so just keep on being happy and true. Scholastic—Piny (2): Declamation (3): Monitor (2, 3). Committees—Ladles’ Home Journal (2); Book (4); Party (4); pance (3). U P I - D A H 15 CARLON BARTOW Listen! It you don't hear any noise, you know Carlon is around. Old Bartow makes less noise in a year than a group of some girls make in a single lunch period. However, it is true in Bart’s case, that the loudest horn doesn't make the most noise. Sometimes we think that that quite popular song, Mindin’ My Business was written with Carlon in view. But that’t all right though, for this boy is a faithful worker and he persistently grinds until he accomplishes his goal. DOROTHY A. BATTERSBY Dot Ah! Here she is. The champion giggler of the class. She has been one of our jolly members and now we hope she will be one of the jolly members of the world. Dot has been a helping member ever ready to lend a guiding hand. Now may I ask. do you know her? Rather late for the question but I want to be sure you know the right person. If you have not met her. make it a point to do so. for you will receive a glad hand and a word of cheer from our classmate. Scholastic—Usher (3). Committees—Arbor Day (4); Christmas Cheer (3). HELEN L. BECHTOLD ’ Buddy” The fates were particularly kind when they presented Buddy to us in Sophomore year. It was soon discovered that dramatics was her forte and it was in the play given that year that her ability along that line was appreciated. Her work in the class room is beyond reproach, and in spite of all this work she has time to take an interest in our sports. Football for instance— Buddy followed the game closely and took much inter- est in the . . . team. Scholastic—Class Play (2. 4): Debating: Tribunal (4), Secretary; Monitor (3, 4), President (4); Junior Senior Staff; English Prize Winner (3). Committees—Junior Play. Athletics—Class Basketball (3). WALTER G. BELLAIRS Walt” Some one has aptly remarked that Walt is one of our best.” Whether it's lighting on the gridiron, or with the basketball team, or if it's wrestling with French verbs, we know that he will put forth the best that is in him. He’s loyal, every inch of him. to the good old Purple and Gold. One of Walt’s chief pastimes is amusing the Economics section by performing. It looks as though he is travelling toward a career in vaudeville. The boy is rather, hazy on punctuation, but he never forgets his “Dot.” Scholastic—Orchestra (2, 3). Committees—Dance (4): Home Journal (2). Athletic—Football (3. 4); Basketball (4), 16 U P I - D A H BERTHA M. BENNETT “Dutchie” Little, loyal, lovely, and loved. We couldn’t get four adjectives to better describe our golden-haired Dutchie. A quick look at her five feet and three inches of height, will easily convince us that she’s little. One glance at the list of activities below her name, and we know that she’s loyal. She just couldn’t have golden hair and blue eyes, and not be lovely—and as for the last. well, just ask anyone who has been privileged by having her friendship, and you cannot doubt but that she's loved. Scholastlo—English prizes (1. 2): Upl-Dali (4). Junior Senior Staff: Debating; Play (4); Monitor (3. I). Committees—Play (3). HORACE BINNS Binnsey” He! He! He! He! Ha! He! Ha! Wherever you hear a noise like that you’ll know it’s Binnsey. A scholar of the old school, he is liked by everyone. He always has an extra sandwich or cake or some- thing that you may have. Horace is very studious too. having a very decided learning toward Chemistry and English. Binnsey is a very versatile boy. These arc some of his activities: laughing, talking, listening, eating, lending, borrowing, sleeping, and, most surprising of all. walking along School Lane. As a matter of fact Binns does all these things very well. Well laying aside all jokes, he is liked by all who know him anti is a good fellow. BENJAMIN W. BISCHOF Ben” Well, well, look whom we have here—Benjamin William Bischof. He’s the fellow who put the hum in humor. Do you remember Pa in the Senior Play? Wcll.this is he, and he certainly acted the part well. We should say. too. that Ben is an important boy. He was chairman of the Senior Dance Committee and played on the Baseball team. He says he doesn’t know whether he will enter a higher institu- tion, or. not, but we arc supposed to know that his chances arc slim, due to his thoughts being centered around Holmes a great deal. Ilow about it, Ben? Scholastic—Play (4). Committees—Dance (3. 4). Athletic—Baseball (3. 4). ROSANA BLASI “Rosie” Here arc a few facts about our classmate: she always has her work done on the day set; she seldom misses a day at school; she is one of our brunette beauties; she is very seldom heard but. oh my, her report card does look good to us; she blushes most beautifully; she is always ready and willing to help some of us who are not such beacon lights to under- stand the ablative absolute or Emerson’s philosophy, so we arc glad that Rosie has elected to be a teacher for we know she will be very successful. Committees—Usher for Junior Piny. U P I - D A H 17 CARL E. BOHN “Bonner” Ladies and Gentlemen we now have before us the Wizard of Oz. He is the only soccer manager who ever has come home with money left over. All of this goes to say, that for economy, he would make the original Shylock look like a spendthrift. Carl likes track, too. but thank your stars he doesn't handle its finances. Well fellows, he is a good sport and the girls all like him even if he docs have a powerful “drag” with the faculty. Scholastic—Debating; Winner of Senior Drawing Prize: Operetta Stage Mgr. Athletic—Soccer Manager (4): Track Squad (3,4). CLIFFORD P. BOOTMAN “Cliff” Another hard working Commercial is Boots?? Perhaps you have seen him busy typing. If you have, your vision is better than Miss Richard's. Boots did get behind once in awhile but he always came up somewhere and came up smiling, too. He is a prominent member of the Detective Agency insti- tuted through the Board of Monitors, and who knows but that sleuth work may be his calling. Most of us thought Boots was quiet and bashful but a few of the girls in 212 found that behind his shy and retiring manner he really had ideas of his own. But go to it, Boots, they worked out all right. Committees—Book (4): Motto (4); Christmas Cheer (4). ROSALIE M. BOWDEN “Rodie” Just take a look at all that our Rosalie has done in the four years of her high school career. Half of it isn't here, because Rosalie is the kind that does a lot of things about which no one knows. She has been on the Honor Roll every report period, besides doing a lot of drawing and prize winning. I'm afraid Rosalie’s biography wouldn't be complete without men- tioning the name of Jack because when you think of Rosalie, you think of Jack and vice versa. We hope she'll always lie a prize winner. Scholastic—Upl-Dnli (3. 4); Hccord Staff: Junior Cpl- Dah; Art Prize (2); Loan Poster Contest 2nd Prize; S. P. C. A. Poster Contest, 4th Prize. STANLEY E. BOWERS “Stan Yes. this is Stanley Bowers. He came to us last year from West Philly. A very quiet chap is he. Haven’t you noticed it? Stan is the kind of fellow that accomplishes things without much ado. For instance, he plays the traps in an orchestra. You didn’t know that did you? If you are in Ocean City next summer, drop into The Casino Club and you will find him there. We know that Stanley’s absence from the activities that are attainable here has been our loss. Swarthmore is the lucky college to obtain Stanley next year. Well, Stan, good-luck to you. 18 U P I - D A H CATHERINE M. BRADLEY “Kitty” At the beginning of our Junior year we were surprised to find Kitty in our midst and she has been surprising us ever since. There is no one else in our class quite like her. Her main characteristic is her unexpectedness. We found out, after we got to know her better, that we could expect from her at any time the richest bits of humor. Many of us also found that we had taken into our class a school mate who was as faithful as she was friendly. Our only regret is that Kitty came so late in our High School life. Keep a good point on your pencil. Kitty. 110 words per minute isn't very fast. Scholastic—Junior Upi-Dah. JEAN E. BRENEMAN Jeanne says she has no nick-name but it would not be hard to give her one and it would sound like “good-natured or “sunshine. If any of the com- mercial people want anything done. Jean is always ready and willing to help out. Among her many excellent achievements, may be numbered the “fine art” of cooking. No matter what the concoction is she can make it taste better than anyone else can. This art ” may come in handy some day for we hear he enjoys the results. Committees—Christmas Party (4); Dance (3). EMILY A. CAIN “Freckie” “Where’s Emily? There she is combing her locks again—just once again. Vanity, thy name is Emily! Freckie is a peach all right, one of the best of ’25 and she has been one of the best ever since 1919 when she came here a petite seventh grader. She has a motto all her own. If we had more room we would tell you—but just ask Freckie. Besides being expert score keeper, she is a prize debater. Our wish for her is that her life at West Chester Normal will be as happy as here at dear U. D. Scholastic—Upi-Dah Staff. (Jr.): Debate. Committees—Christmas Itasket (4): Arbor Day (4); Invitation (4); Dance (3). ELIZABETH CAREY “Betty” Betty, as we all know her, just joined our ranks this year. She came to us from Sunburv High School. Although one of our newcomers, Betty has a host of friends and is very easily recognized by her broad smile. She was chairman of our Christmas Party committee, and the success of this party, together with the good time everyone had, certainly proves Betty’s ability and power of leadership and original ideas. She is going to attend Buckncll University next year. Good luck and best wishes for success from all of us, in anything you may attempt. Scholastic—Declamation Contest (4); Debate (4). Committees—Christmas Party (4). 20 U P I - D A H HOWARD B. CATES “Giraffe” It cost real money to have this “bird’s” picture taken. He is only six feet one in his hare feet.—and some feet at that. Its all right, Howard, Edith says she likes your height; it will come in handy hanging curtains some day. Cates is a real star in athletics. He shines in soccer, basketball, and baseball and at the same time steers clear of red marks. A good fellow, a tireless worker and a clever opponent.— who is there who claims more! His many friends and class mates will always remember him. Scholastic—Debating Team: Operetta (4). Committee—Dance (2. 3. 4). Athletic—Soccer (1. 2. 3. 4); Basketball (2, 3. 4): Base- ball (1. 2. 3. 4.). RUTH CHRISTINE “Ruthie” Ruth is one of the most consistently cheerful girls in the Senior Class. No matter when, or why. or how. she always wears a smile. We might attribute this to the fact that her hair never comes out of curl, even on the rainiest day hut then again, maybe a certain tall young man in a certain military academy not far away has something to do with it. Speaking of military academies. Ruth certainly has excited the envy of the Senior girls by wearing that wide leather belt with the P. M. C. buckle. Never mind. Ruth the class of ’25 will remember you as a happy companion and a mighty good sport. Scholastic—Alumni Asso. Entertainment. Committees—Junior Senior Reception. MARY P. COX “Giggles” Laughter! Giggles! Here comes Mary. No one need worry trying to think how she received her nickname. Giggles. Look at her. That expression tells every thing, and you can sec she is full of fun. Mary came to us from Ridley Park in our Junior year and has been a “live-wire” ever since. If you want to know anything about Media High School, especially boy’s basketball and baseball, ask Mary, she knows. Scholastic—Health Pageant. Committees—Usher at Junior Play. Athletic—A. A. Ticket Committee. JOHN J. DEAL “Jack” Here’s Captain Deal, circumnavigator of the glorious realm of sportland. A fighting boy he is whether it be on field, court or diamond. His constant pranks keep the school in mirth and the faculty in distress but no one seems to mind about that. About four years ago this wiry lad got stranded on the lovely isle of Rosalie and the experts claim all hope of rescue is useless. While Jack was out West last summer, he discovered that bungalows can be bought as low as one dollar down and five cents a month. All this looks serious but it is really old time stuff. Committee—Christmas Basket (4). Athletic—Soccer (2. 3. 4); Capt. (3); Basketball (4): Baseball (2. 3. 4.). U P I - D A H 21 GEORGE DOUGLAS “Jerry” Here's Jerry, the future accountant of our class, and one of the few boys who made life worth while for the girls in 212. Although Jerry has never stood on the Assembly platform and declaimed for our benefit, there are those who say he can talk enough when he gets started. Quiet, unassuming, but dili- gent, he has made a place for himself in our esteem, and so we are glad to present him to you as just, “good, old Jerry.” Scholastic—Monitor (4). Athletic—Cross-country (2). ROBERT DOWLING “Bunnie” We now come to Robert Dowling, the “Frank Briggs” of onr class. The name Bunnie has appeared on almost every one of our dance floaters, —you know their quality. Apart from being a cartoonist Bunnie has experience on the football and baseball field, to say nothing of his splendid acting in the Sophomore Class Play. Bun, it may be said, is a boy who knows when to speak and when to refrain from speaking, and, this together with his good sportsmanship, gives us a chap worth knowing. Scholastic—Sophomore Play; Monitor: Tribunal; Junior and Senior Upl-Dah Stag. Athletics—Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Football (3). DONALD ELTON “Don” We have with us none other than Donald Rlton, the world famous banjo player. Don would rather play than eat. so he says, but some of us have seen him eat. He came to us in his junior year from Commercial High in Brooklyn, and his ready smile soon won his way among us. Don is not a Jumbo but he sure has a big heart; he will do anything in the world for you or break his neck trying. Now, girls, you see what kind of a chap we have in our class; so take your chances and try and get this bashful classmate. Scholastic—Monitor (4). Committees—Dance (4); Christmas Party. JOHN ESBIN “Epstien” Epsticn, a fair name, imported from the southern extremity of Phila., is always accompanied by a long shadow with a string bean effect. Johnny is the father of U. D’s, giraffe family. For genuine good nature he’s hard to beat and he is just as hard to beat in soccer, baseball and basketball. Did you every try to kid Long John and sec that billikin grin you get for an answer? There arc some who say John misses the last car from Drexel Hill every now and then and others who say he keeps a regular date book. Athletics—Soccer (2, 3, 4); Basketball (2, 3, 4); Base- ball (2. 3. 4). 22 U P I - D A H MARY FIELDING Mary is another occupant of Home Room 103 and here she exhibits her cheerful smiling countenance, but perhaps her wide smile is due to the two dimples that appear when she laughs. One of Mary’s characteristics is the way she stands up in class and says just what she thinks, usually to the great amuse- ment of all of us. At least her ideas are original. Seriously though. Mary is a mighty good friend and she’s always ready to lend a helping hand, whether it be in Latin, or in selling tickets for school activities. Scholastic—Debating (4); Record Stuff (4). Committees—Flower (1. 2. 3. 4); Play (2); Class Flower (4); Christmas Cheer (1, 2, 3. 4). EULA FONDERSMITH “U” In 1922 our class welcomed another member to it’s ranks from Philadelphia High School for Girls. Hula came as a sophomore and entered the Com- mercial work. Of course we do not have to say that she worked very hard. Evidence of that, we have seen in the Upi-Dah this past year. We understand that Hula is going to be “Somebody’s Stcnog.” If she works in that position as she has done on the Upi-Dah Staff, we know she will succeed. Scholastic—Upi-Dah (4). KATHRYN FREER Cassy” “Got anything to eat?” Yes. Cassy, we all come to your rescue, but why wont you show some results of the food we share with you? Our very slim friend should have a First Aid kit to carry around with her because she is constantly breaking some bone or getting a black eye. You are a good fighter, old top. and it would be hard for '25 to do without you. Scholastic—Fashion Show (1). Athletics—Class Basketball (3); Track (2): Girls Inter- Suburban Meet (3). GORDON GEIGER Here is the living example of Berks County industry and thrift. Completing his first two years of work in a small high school, the adjustment upon entering Upper Darby was not easy. It is a tribute to Gordon’s fine qualities that he has overcome handicaps such as most of us have never had, and is graduating with the Class of '25. It takes all sorts of people to make a class, but it has often been a good thing, and a decided relief to encounter Gordon's quiet persistence and unassuming attitude. Nor is he with- out his sense of humor. We predict that whatever Gordon does upon leaving Upper Darby will be well done. U P I - D A H 23 MARGARET H. GETTZ “Peg” Peg has two outstanding virtues, namely,— always having her lessons prepared and being a “hcartbrcakcr.” Of course, the former would he more of a recommendation, hut as Margaret herself says. “It's well to he able to do many things.” Peg enjoys dancing and has always supported our dances. If you were there to see. perhaps you noticed her nice looking escorts, the latest of whom has a name familiar to all of us. Scholastic—Upl-Dah (3). Committees—Dance (2): Play Ticket (2. 3); Home Journal (2). KATHRYN GOODALL “Kitty” One hundred words I And we are expected to squeeze Kitty’s biography into that. One glance at the list of activities in which she has participated and you know what a jewel of a worker we have. An ideal school girl, whose heart and soul is in every task she undertakes, so you can be sure that she will come out “on top.” We can’t say too much in praise of Kitty. If ever you need a onc-hundred-per- ccnt girl, our Kitty is the girl. Scholastic—Declamation Contest (3. 4): Upl-Dah Staff (3.

Larry has 18 karats. Reserved, modest and saying little—we arc hardly aware he is about. If I-arry continues to be the steady pluggcr” lie now is. it won’t surprise us to hear great things of him in the future, because he is not the spectacular type—just a “small man with big ideals.” Scholastic—Play (3). HENRY GURNEY “Chick” Last year there came to our halls of learning one Chick Gurney, a very unassuming and bashful lad from I.ansdovpte High. Now. by his picture, just observe the vast difference. He is very much larger, his hair is shiekily curled, and about the sinning part, we may say that he is very much consuming. Chick has made quite a name for himself in sports, in both foot- ball and basketball. Besides possessing a wonderful personality which has won him many friends, he is •something of a scholar. Wc sincerely hope that Chick goes through college with the spirit and pep he has shown here. Scholastic—Monitor X4). Athletic—Football (3, I); Basketball (3, 4); Track (3. 4). 24 UPI-DAH GLADYS HANKINS “Glad” “Mose can roll them bones,” but Glad can roll them eyes. She is never without something to say and she manages to make herself heard (with the aid of her several noisy sweaters). Gladys expects to join the ranks of the “working girl” when she has finished the commercial course at a business college. Here is another cause for the business man’s wrath. We're glad you are with us. Glad, and we hope that you are glad, too. Scholastic—Declamation (3). Athletic—Track (2). MARIAN L. HARRAL “Puds” Here she is—Cap'll Puds, the little (?) one, who led the girls' basketball team through a most success- ful season. Round, rosy and smiling, Pudsy has endeared herself to her school and it's going to be hard for U. D. H. S. to do without her. She has been one of our best pals, and ior five years Pudsy has given all her ability and all her heart to Upper Darby High and the class of '25. She always has a smile for you and we hope that she will have a life of smiles. Scholastic—Monitor (3. 4). Committees—Reception (3).

Yes, here comes Peggy around the corner. We know it is she the moment we hear that laugh, because Peg is always laughing and seeing the funny side of things. She is a very happy-go-lucky young lady, but she is also very studious. We have enjoyed your company and wish you all the luck possible when you leave Upper Darby High School. Scholastic—Monitor (4). JAMES M. HEFTY “Jimmy” Little old Jimmy is a fellow who is hard to get along with. Oh yes—ask anybody who doesn’t know him. If you look closely you might discern a few wrinkles around his mouth and eyes, the cause of which is that original whole-hearted Hefty smile. It all of us would take the best of the breaks as Jimmy does, we would have a smiling countenance that would mean as much as this lad’s. Back oi this, however, is the boy of ability and responsibility. Scholastic—Vice-President (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Upl-Dnh; Monitor (4). „ Committees—Chairman of Dance Play (2).

But Luther is a good scout and one of the shining lights of “The Brain League.” The historian, while ransacking his past, discovered that he did not make those terrible player pianos as was heretofore supposed. Heppy plays a fine game of tennis and is interested in baseball altho a certain person informs us that he reads many hooks of a certain romantic type; furthermore we all noticed his special interest in the Junior Play. We may be more definite by saying lie liked the acting of the orphans. Committee� —Play ticket (3): Ring (3); Play (2). MARGARET A. HIGGS “Peggy Margaret came from West Philadelphia High to Upper Darby in her Sophomore year. Our classmate seems to be quiet and reserved. She usually works and keeps her mind steadily on her work. But with all this she still finds time to be one of our Monitors. If you dare to go up the halls or into the rooms a� lunch time without a slip, you will sec how soon you get your orders to go back from this little mo.uto . So just watch your step and be sure to have a slip at lunch time if you don't want to be called down. (We all know it's Margaret's duty to send intruders back.) Scholastic—Monitor «).

He does not hold a berth on the honor roll but he can give you almost any information you desire, concerning your studies. We know he has ability because he passes chemistry regularly every month. Horsey's an ardent rooter at all games as well as an artistic decorator for our dances. He is a quiet fellow but those long aerials arc always on the job receiving all that goes on. Scholastic—Monitor (-1). Athletic—Truck (3). ANNA E. HUCH “Hookie Why? When? How? Of course it's Hookie asking questions again, or shall we say, still. No matter what the season or the hour, Anna is always on hand to receive information. However, the facts are that she puts this knowledge to some use. And speaking of knowledge, when Hookie begins to talk about literature, ancient and modern, the rest of us pipe down and listen. What she doesn’t know about books and authors isn't worth knowing. Don't imagine though, that Anna is all seriousness, because when it's time to laugh she’s on hand with the giggle just the same as all the rest of us. U P I - D A H 27 ETHEL HUGHES “Oh. for goodness sake!” comes the cry. and we know that Ethel is approaching. Does she like to study? Well we don’t know but we are inclined to think that she docs not. However, we do know one thing she likes -to do and that is to comb her hair. Every morning we hear the plea. “Who has a comb?” Never mind Ethel, it’s pretty and we don't blame you a bit. Ethel loves to worry. She usually picks on Economics. Oh, 1 just know I’ll fail,” is one of her favorite remarks—but she usually doesn’t. But for all this, her dis| a£ition is remarkably sunny and a frown never dulls her face unlcs an Ec. test is due. MARGARET F. HUNT “Peg” Someone has aptly remarked that the girls from Aldan certainly are a nice peppy lot. Well, Peg is a product of Aldan but we didn’t need anyone to tell us that she was nice and peppy, because after seeing her bouncing around Upper Darby for four years, we’re absolutely convinced that she’s there with the spirit and the grit. One of Marney's weak points is her absolute craving for details. Almost any afternoon you can see her getting the particulars of someone's last date. The girls must like it though, for Peg never lacks confidantes. Scholastic—Debating (4): Monitor (3). Committees—Dance (3); Motto (4); Christmas Basket (4). WILLETTA K. HUSSELTON “Billy” Help! Help! Here comes Billy to the rescue, for she is always helping people out. Her work is not done for pomp or popularity; just her bright, earnest, cheerful self behind her work. There’s only one thing she won’t stand for, so please don’t call her “Wisalctta, or you might see some action. Billy has been with us for only two years but it did not take her long to win her way into our hearts. Speaking of shorthand, well, ask Mr. Milne where Miss Hussclton stands. He will recommend her for secretary to the President of the United States. Scholastic—Upl-Dali (3. 4); Junior Senior Staff, Typ- ing Contest (3); Monitor (3) Alternate. Committees—Ring (3). ROBERT HUSTED “Bob” There arc a few people in our class who are known almost entirely by what they do and not what they say. Bob says little, but does a lot of good, honest work. Not given to idle chatter or vain speculation, four years ago. Bob set out to become a Senior among us. He’ll soon be an alumnus now, and richly does he deserve the honor. The Class of 1925, and the whole school owe a lot to Bob and the others like him, who arc content to do their work and leave the rest of us to do the advertising. 28 U P I - D A H WILLIAM HYSLOP “BUI” Bill is one oi those fellows who doesn't say much but gets a lot done. He is a good mixer. Along with his activities Bill made good with the Sophomore and Senior play casts and was at one time president of the Board of Monitors. He is just enough of a diplomat to invite himself out to another person's house and make the other person think he is doing him a favor. It may be this ability that made it possible for him to gain a place on the debating team in his Senior year. Scholastic—Monitor President (4): Debating (Captain); Play (2. 4); Phi Beta Kappa Prize. Committees—Reception (3); Play (3). GEORGE B. JACOBY “Bud” Bud has been president of our class for the last five years. This in itself is a big thing but he did not seem to be satisfied'with it and this year found him business manager of the Upi-Dah' and manager of the baseball team. His chief characteristic is his unfailing answer to the call of “help whenever or wherever he happens to hear it. That the school appreciates his work is shown in that he won a Fidelis award during his Junior year. Bud should go far in the business world.

But what a foolish question,—how could you help it. Don’t like her too well, for a certain Bill may have something to say about that. Emilic is one of the few in Upper Darby who has been here ever since the seventh grade. She is a loyal supporter of the school and has backed up the class of '25 in whatever it has attempted to do. The class is rather of the opinion that-Emilic has chosen the wrong course in school. But no matter which course she follows in the wide, wide world, the class of ’25 wishes her great success and the best of luck. Committees—Ring (3); Home Journal (2): Bonk (4). CHRISTINE R. JOSEPH “Chris” When Chris makes her triumphal exit from Upper Darby, she’ll leave a vacancy which will not be filled very easily. Who was it who walked away with most of the honors at our track meets? Who was the fast little side-center on our basketball team? Who is the young lady who has one of the sweetest voices in Upper Darby? And. lastly we ask you, who is one of the most unfailing good sports of whom we Seniors can boast? The answer isn’t hard, —Chris, of course. Committee� —Play (3); Ring (3); Dance(4). Scholastic—Declamation (2).

KAISER Carris” A quiet girl! It would l e most unusual tor anyone to say Yes, I just heard Caroline at the other end oi the hall. In order to know where she is. one must sec her. With all her quiet ways, Caroline has been found a ready, earnest worker. For those few who do not know her, you will remember the tall, light haired girl who used to struggle with her Bookkeeping. Caroline has such a short trip to school—only an hour and a half journey, —but tardiness is not in her dictionary. Keep up this reputation, Carrie. Committees—Monitors' Nominating (3). ESTHER KASLEY Who is the girl with the pretty, long red hair? Who is the pride of the Domestic Science Department? It’s Esther Kaslcy! If this little person, who comes all the way from Prospect Park, ever failed in a recitation, the members of the faculty would die from the shock. A damsel of few words but much action with a bright smile for everyone, is this girl of whom we sec so little. Scholastic—Record Staff; Operetta (4); Usher (3). WALTER W. KELLEY Walt” Walter has been with us all four years and has helped to make them tour snappy ones. We did not hear very much from him the first year, but for the last three he has been in all kinds of class activities and has shown real school spirit. He docs not seem to be “stuck” by any “jcunc femme at present—but, sooner or later! His impersonalities of Robin Hood are—well, we do not think even Robin Hood himself thought he could act like that. Walter has always been cheery and full of pep. He did much toward making the Junior and Senior Plays a success. We sincerely wish him success. Scholastic—Upl-Dah Stair (3); Plays (3. 4); Orchestra (1, 2); Monitor (3, 4), President (4). MARGARET M. KING Peg” Here we have another of the dark haired beauties of the class. This little girl’s time is pretty well filled, but anyone who knows Peg need not ask how. We know that a certain lad has received a great deal oi his track training sprinting from Clifton Avenue to Sharon Hill station. Peg is a very effi- cient girl as well as a popular one. She has been secretary of our class for four years and in that time her minutes have always met with the complete approval of everyone.

She usually eats, because who could refuse such a girl with such beautiful eyes? These same eyes oftimes get Kirky in trouble for she is forever breaking some swain’s heart.

She came to us in September, her Freshman year, and it didn’t take her long to get acquainted with her teachers and classmates, as we all fall for her smile. Ede is quite a gymnast and we all are aware of the fact that she is capable of standing up for her own rights by the good work she did in the Debating Contests. Ede docs not know whether or not she will go on to school. Whatever she attempts, we say, Good Luck! Scholnstle—Debate. Committees—Christmas Basket (3); Dance (2). Athletic—Class Track (2. 3); Del.

Oh, yes, that is Walter’s latest “car.” or perhaps we should say, his Ford, for he seems to prefer that type of machine. Walt is fond of all kinds of machines including the typewriter and he is noted for pounding the keys. Walt is very much interested in Juniors, particularly dark-eyed, dark-haired ones. Oh yes, he can talk too; just get him to explain anything and this characteristic will make itself known to you. Committees—Christmas Basket (4); Dance (4). HENRY C. KLUSMEYER “Klussy” Here is the successful literary editor of our Upi-Dah. He has the light of genius in his eyes, hasn’t he, and it is the real article, let us inform you. Perhaps you’ve read some of his stories in our pajper. If you haven’t you’ve missed something. He writes under the pseudonym of “Ed Lit.” Dig up some old copies of the Upi-Dah settle down comfortably and prepare to laugh. He hoj cs to take up some literary work after leaving its and wc hope that he will, because if there is one member erf our class whom we feel is headed toward the bright star of success and renown, that person is Klussy.

We realized that we could not have found a more ab’e treasurer so wc kept her for all four years. She is one of those girls upon whom one can depend. Not only is she an Honor Roll student, hut also has she taken an active interest in athletics. She certainly made a snappy center on the Girls' Basketball team.

But we have discovered that his hark is worse than his bite. Leather is a hard working book-worm altho any one who listens to his tales of wacrStfoiild think he was afraid of work.

URSULE LIEBENBERG Here is a glimpse of Ursulc. Four years ago Ursulc started to come all the way from Fssington to Upper Darby. This certainly was a long distance, but wc believe Ursulc received great benefit from her perseverance. She has completed her studies and now expects to go to Coombs Conservatory of Music for Organ Work. Wc all (by the exhibition in the Music Contest) know that music is one of Ursule’s talents. Many good wishes, Ursulc, from Upper Darby. Scholastic—Music Contest (3). %■. EDWARD B. LORD “Sox” • • Here is a product of the Commercial Department. Yes. girls, he has been affected by the love bug. Talk about speed! This fellow shows some class in soccer, basketball, track and cross country. His acting in the “Hottentot” brought out some talent about which we knew nothing. We would not be surprised to hear at any time that Sox had been signed up by the Shuberts to appear on their circuit in the role of a comedian. Another of the boy's many talents is cheer leading. He certainly does get the response. Scholastic—Play (3): Monitor (3. 4). Athletic—Cross Country (2, 3); Track. (1. 2); Basketball (3. 4); Soccer (4). U P I - D A H 33 KATHARINE McCABE “Kay” Sparkling eyes, laughing lips and a sunny dis- position, yes, that’s Kay, full of fun and pep. Kay has been with us only this year but everybody knows her and we’re sure everybody likes her. She plaits to be a school teacher. Can you imagine such a laughing, happy Miss settling down to the quiet, (?) sedate life of a school teacher? However, If she ever teaches at Upper Darby we’ll all be tempted to disguise ourselves and re-enter Upper Darby again as green little freshmen. Well, lots of luck, Kay. and we hope you teach some day at dear old Upper Darby. Scholastic—Operetta. Committees—Dance (4). MARIE A. McCABE Here we have a Latin star straight from the coal fields of Wilkes-Barre. This child is a wizard at translating any brand of Latin you place in front of her. She is also one of the far from silent academics. You can hear her declaiming at any time in class, out of class and in between times. She is noted for her work in the first elimination of the Oratorical Contest. This was the first time we knew she had any ability along this line. We like your talking, Marie, and be sure to let people know that you arc around in whatever college you decide to enter. Scholastic—Oratorical Contest (4); Operetta (4). RUTH McCLAIN “Rufus” Yes. this is “Ma Bence,” that nervous, elderly lady in “Kempy.” This nervousness seemed natural with Ruth but really we have found that that is lie)' great ability to act. In her Sophomore year she was discovered and took a part in the Declamation Contest. In this. Ruth won third place for the Class of ’25. Since then we have given her no peace. Had she been able to add a few extra hours a day, Ruth would have been on the debating team this year. Ruth practices for this work as soon as the last bell rings. All right, Ruth, we enjoy the results. Scholastic—I lay (4); Declamation Contest (2). Committees—Flower (3). MARY I. McCRONE Wutsie” Wutsie! Whatever she does, she does well. Whether at work or at play, she enters into it with a zest not surpassed by many. To everyone who knows her well she proves herself a true and deal- friend. It’s funny how some people arc fond of talking. Wutsie is one of these. Her talking is not always without value for she is one of our champion debaters.

First of all. she showed her true Upper Darby spirit by making the basketball team and she surely is some guard? Woe be to her forward when Dot gets going. After school hours we have the hardest time chasing her home. “Don't go yet. Oh! There's Betty. Let's talk to her awhile.” Chatter! That's Dot's middle name. Never mind, Dot, we love you and thank Fortune that she sent you to us this year. Committees—Motto (4). Athletic—Basketball, Varsity (4). EMILY J.

The proper mixture of audacity and vivacity is a wonderful aid in her athletics. Fuzz plays a sporty game of basketball and she has been known to kick up a few cinders on the track. She enjoys the softened lights of our dances as much as the rest of us. For further information along this line .... but we must stop here or we shall be getting personal. Committees—Dunce (2).

She hasn’t much to say and is not so well known but she has a sweet way that’s all her own. Helen makes use of her study periods by assisting in Mr. Tyson’s office. She says she is going to be a kindergarten teacher. How could she help but succeed with that amiable jolly disposition of hers. Loads of good luck to you from all of us.

Never hurried, never out of humor, never ruffled, with her broad smile, she wins her way into our hearts. Clare is so glad that the chef of hokey-pokey wagon” has such dcc-licious eats and especially pies. We have noticed, too, that this girl has shown during the past year a marked interest in baseball and boys' basketball. We arc wondering why. Committees—Junlor-Senlor Reception.

She never refuses or raises a fuss, hut goes ahead and does the work well. Elsie is mighty quiet hut she certainly makes a dreadful racket on the typewriter. In fact, she’s a record breaker.

MILLER Here is another of the many Millers who have added grist to the Upper Darby Mill. Like the rest of his family, who have been with us, John has carried on the Miller reputation tor scholastic ability. If another senior can boast of five examination grades of 98 to 100 in one period, we haven’t yet heard of it. With all his scholastic attainments, John has found time to make a host of friends among class- mates and faculty who wish him well. Earnest work, readiness to help others and imperturbably cheerful temperament have made him an alumnus, whom Upper Darby is proud to claim as her own. Scholastic—Second place Lincoln Essay Contest; Phi- Beta-Kappa Prize; Orchestra. JOHN G. MILLER Dack” Why do they call him Dack? It's a peculiar nickname but it is unique and serves as a positive identification for this lad. The teachers find great difficulty in discerning between him and another lad by exactly the same name, so they have dubbed him John George Miller the second but we'll stick to Dack. it's easier to say. Sensible, witty, always ready with a smile—this is John. He intends to enter college but just which one is undecided. If he con- tinues the good work lie has done in U. D. H. S. lie will be welcomed as a student in any college. Scholastic—Junior Upi-Dnh Staff. JUANITA M. MILLER “Neats” We will now present for your approbation, Miss Juanita Miller. Like her? Sure, everybody docs. Neats is one of those sweet, quiet girls in a class- room. but you ought to hear her in a crowd. She is a good worker as she served on the Junior Play Committee and was a member of the Staff of the Junior Number of the Upi-Dah of the Class of '25.' Neats sure is serious at times when she says, Oh, 1 know I won’t pass Stcnog. or Law.” We all know she doesn't have to worry for she always comes out on the top. Scholastic—Junior Upi-Dali. Committees—Play (3). 36 U P I - D A H THEODORE MILLER “Aesop” Aesop is known to us as the boy of general knowl- edge and as a nature lover. Besides being an Honor Roll pupil, he has often been guilty of enticing his schoolmates into the surrounding woods for the purpose of studying the birds and the flowers. Tutoring and debating are his favorite extra-curricular pastimes. We all expect him some day to blossom out into a benev- olent, fatherly professor. Scholastic—Debate (■(); Lincoln Essay Contest, 3rd place: Orchestra. Committees—Flower (3): Ladles’ Home Journal (2). Athletic—Football (3). MARIE T. MUSI “Mie” In Marie we have one of the quietest girls of our class. Good goods are usually found in small packages, and in this ease it is true. Marie’s name has been on almost every honor roll, since she came to Upper Darby in her Junior year, from South Philadelphia. She has a host of friends and is always recognized by her ever ready smile. Marie wants to be a teacher and is going to West Chester Normal. We know that there she will prove herself to be just as efficient as she has been in U. D. and she has our heartiest wishes for success. SAMUEL I. NEELY “Whitey” Here is Whitey Neely, another of those quiet chaps, but one who can be depended upon to help whenever help is needed. During his stay here lie has become a great Spanish student, and has helped many others to make the grade. His one fault is a long nose, which always gets in the way when he is playing baseball. He is going to enter the business world and we would not be surprised to see him as tiie President of The American Stores Company, because you know that most of the best men start at the bottom of the ladder and work to the top. We all wish you luck and prosperity. FREDERICKA OSENBACH “Rieka” Rieka has had much training for marathon walking as she is one of the many pedestrians from Drexcl Hill. That community should consider itself fortunate to have among its members such an accomplished pianist. Our gym classes have often enjoyed the music she has provided for us. We couldn't say much about Rieka without mentioning Roscoc. You all remember when he went to Allen- town Prep, Rieka haunted the Post Office. Rieka is a product of the Commercial Department and if she can tickle the typewriter keys” as well as she can tickle the ivories” she will be a great success as a stenog. 38 U P I - D A H ALLAN EDWARD OSMOND “Al” “Honorable Judges, Worthy Opponents, Friends” —who said debate? Here he is—a debater of the first rank, one of the bulwarks of this year’s team. When he gets up to talk you should sec the other team quake in their boots. Look a little closer and see what else he has done. Remember last year, the Junior Play? That’s he, Larry,—fine work we’ll say. He’s an all around fellow and a real friend and we’re sure he won’t be forgotten soon at Upper Darby. Next year he plans to take a business course at Wharton School, Penn.

Oh, yes, Jeanne just had another test and she just couldn’t have made more than 60. But when the papers arc marked, no one is a bit surprised to find out that Jeanne made 90 or more. In fact, she isn't, either. Jeanne has been a big help to us with our plays and dances. She has been a big help in another way. too, and it is hard to say how many young people would have starved from hunger in class, if it had not been for Jan. Scholastic—Play (3). Committees—Christmas Basket (I): Dance (2, 3. 4); Candy (4). JAMES PERNIN “Jimmie” Nearly everyone is famed for something, but few people can boast of the distinction of setting the fashions, especially in the boys’ clothes. Have you noticed those long, wide, stunning corduroys that all the Senior boys seemed to get as they would get the “measles” or some other disease? Well, Jimmie is to blame for them. Then again, though Jimmie is supposed to be quiet, lie can handle a public speaking class with unusual ability. THOMAS POTTER “Tom” In this corner we have Thomas Potter the spunky, little fellow who played end on the football team. Tom is a marvel? at Shorthand, and should gain great prestige in this field! Here is a lad who lias the manhood to voice his opinions and is always on hand to back them up. Tom has made a name for himself bv his apparatus work in the gymnastic exhibitions. His plans for the future are as yet rather indefinite, but we feel sure he will be success- ful in any vocation upon which he decides. Scholastic—Monitor (2. 3).

It is one of the slow, wide-spreading kind that lights up her whole countenance. She is going to join the ranks at West Chester Normal, and if hard work means anything in the ladder of success, her climbing will be easy. Scholastic. FRANK RATHMELL “Rats” Rats has been with us ever since our Arbor Day Tree was a shaving. He has a good eye for service and for a certain,—well, that’s not fair to take advan- tage of him there, and we’ll let it go at that. Rats has been stepping out with the traps in an orchestra lately, and we know that lie’s sure to make big noise whether he sticks to that or not. Hut in whatever he docs later on. we know he’ll do with the will that he has shown in Upper Darby. Committees—Christmas Party, Arbor Day. FLORENCE E. REID “Flossie” Music, cooking, church work and charity. That sounds almost like exaggeration to attribute all those to one little dark-eved girl but, not too much for Florence. Just the mere fact that she can do all these things is not enough,—for Flossie excels in every one of them. Florence is particularly fond of her music and she has often charmed us with her beautiful playing. Continue this. Flossie, and perhaps wc will not be the only ones to be charmed.

She seemed to like to watch the football games, particularly the beginnings and the ends.” Dot is a regular on the basketball team as well as on the Honor Roll.

In basketball, track, in fact, anything in the line of athletics, Ann excels. For proof of that statement you can ask any of the opposing basketball side-centers.

There is always a Teddy Hear or a doll tucked away in her desk and we don't know what she would do without her Jacks.” There were times in bookkeeping and shorthand when the way looked hard, but Mitzie kept plugging and won, as we knew she would. She hid her talents for three years but we found out just what she could do when we saw the Senior Play.

He is interested in his extra curricular work. How many have admired his technique on the fiddle, or his form as an athlete! He is a hard worker, for although we almost lost him by sickness, he came back with still greater accomplishments. Rudolph is a regular fellow and is liked for his comradeship and ability.

WILLIAM SHANNON “Bill” Although he hails from the “wild and wooly,” Hill belies our preconceived ideas of those who come from Colorado. Aside from his other numerous fine qualities, he has a fine complexion which he renews each year by a trip West. From a standpoint of extra curricular activities. Bill has been rather quiet, but a peep into 103 any day before school, or a glance at our Honor Rolls will show where his energies have been directed. He isn’t a bookworm however. Many of us had hoped to sec him enter some Eastern College, but the University of Kansas seems to be the lucky place. Well,—if Hill doesn’t raise a dust” in Kansas, we are through prophesying. Committees—Cornerstone (4). 42 UPI-DAH STEWART C. SHULL “Stew- Judging from the number of Stew’s feminine friends, he must talk about something, but the fellows have never been able to find out just what line of talk he handles. It’s a gift, Stew, hang on to it. Stewart is one of the real workers of the class. Whenever the gym needed decorating or the stage needed setting. Stew was always on the job. lie played to perfection, the part of Ollic Guilford in the Junior Play. The only time that Stew becomes at all annoying is when lie tries to become a singist.” Scholastic—Play (3): Monitor (3). Committees—Play (2). ELIZABETH M. SMITH “Betty” Another one of the Eighth Grade Invincibles and another loyal worker for ’25. Betty keeps in the background but always' does her share of the work. There is a great doubt in her mind about her averages of 40 and 110 per but due to hard labor she has managed to reach her goal at last. You would hardly think that slim little Betty would shine in gym work but it is a pretty sight to see her doing apparatus work. Her cheerful disposition and helping hand have won her many friends.

STELLER Mary came to us way back in her Freshman Year, all the way from Essington, and for the past four years has continued her journey to Upper Darby. Every time we looked at her this year, she had a Law Book in her hand, especially at noon time. From one Commercial student to the other she «went always with open Law Book and always with the same question. Do you know anything about this Law?” Mary did good work in' the Delaware County Type- writing Contest and has always cheerfully aided the school and class with her typewriter.

HELEN STEWARD Helen is just the kind of a girl to have around when you feel blue, for if anyone can cheer you up, it sure is Helen. She is peaceful and cheerful anfJ thought to be quiet, but just give her a chance and you’ll soon sec how quiet she is. Helen’s periods of excitement never fail to arrive around the time book reports are due. She may become a good athlete sometime, having taken part in the Gym Exhibition of her Sophomore .Year. She does not intend to go on to school. Wc wish to extend to her our hope for success in whatever she may do. 44 U P I - D A H FREDERICK A. STOCKWELL “Fred” Frederick “W. C. T. U.” Stockwcll, is our far famed mirth producer. Talk about being versatile, well friends, listen to this list of avocations: musician, cartoonist, athlete, actor, poet, playright. Have you seen the Upi-Dah? Yes? Then you have seen some of his fine work at cartooning—corkers we call them. Did you sec our Sophomore Play? Then you saw Fred, the actor. Fred is going to Brown University and his popularity there is a sure thing. Scholastic—Sophomore Play; Operetta; Assembly work; Monitor (3); Tribunal (3). Athletics—Tennis (3): Football (2. 3. 4).

Edna has never been able to remember her rosters or lesson assignments. It was a most usual sight to see her run- ning about saying. Do you know where we have Economics today? or What did Miss Ycrkes say we had for tomorrow? Edna has enough pep, too, but unfortunately she doesn't like to study enough to con- tinue school. She will probably be one of our noted newspaper reporters before very long. We wish you all the success in the world. Scholastic—Health Pageant (3). Committees—Play Property (3). WILLIAM TURNER “Willy” How do you like his magician smile? Doesn't it look as though lie had something up his sleeve besides his cuff? Well. Willie is a rather small, unassuming chap, but if we really tried to learn a few things about him. we know there would be plenty to tell. Bill hasn’t burned the school up with activities but he has the stuff and it’s only a case of now or later for him to break his shell and give the world his share of cackles. Scholnstic—Orchestra (3, 4). KATHRYN D. VICKERS “Kitty” Even Upper Darby can boast of a Gloria Swanson and we are quite proud of the fact that she will graduate with '25. How we shall miss Gloria’s svmphonious. or shall we say, syncopated, alto during tiie Glee Club hour. Kitty always insisted on sitting with the sopranos, but they didn’t mind in the least. Have you ever seen this little person at work in the gym? If you haven’t, you have missed a treat. She aspires to fame as a gym teacher and we’re pretty sure those aspirations won’t be in vain.

WALBER “Kitten This young lady is about the smallest girl in the Senior Class. She doesn’t seem to mind it. though, and we know several people who think she’s just about right. Kitten just came to us this year from Pittsburgh, and she hasn’t yet lost that cute little accent. Maybe she’s holding on to it as a reminder of her home town, for we still believe that Helene’s heart is out there. Well, anyway, we’re glad to have known you, Helene, and after you graduate, don’t forget Upper Darby and the Class of '25. MARION E. WALKER “Jerry For five years Jerry has graced the halls of Upper Darby and in all that time she has ever been a true and loyal daughter of 1925. Of course, like all the rest of us she groans at times about Geometry finals, and French averages, but then, who could help it? Marion has been a mighty big help to the basketball team and her unerring eye for the basket often helped to win a victory for U. D. She is usually seen in the company of Edna and she manages to take rather good care of that young lady. We’ll always remember her as a true friend and classmate.

GLADYS WARE “Gladie She is neither short nor tall, neither slim nor fat, but she is one of the prettiest of our Jockey” ushers. Gladie is one of those delightful surprises that occas- ionally appear on the field of action. When she is in class she is there for business and her grades prove that business is good. True she does not linger in our midst very long after school unless it is in the typing room where she and Elsie are hard at work. We are glad to number among our friends one Gladie, the girl with the sweet disposition. Scholastic—Operetta (4). Committees—Christmas Basket (3); Class Flower (4). RODERICK M. WARREN “Rod” Here is a versatile young man. Rod is a leader in athletics and general popularity. This young fellow is the only five letter man that Upper Darby can boast of. He captained our soccer team to the Middle Atlan- tic States Championship and also helped us bring home the Delaware County Championship in basketball. Most of us can account for his excellent showing in track. Running every night for the last car from Sharon Hill affords great training. Rod wins friends by his smiles and any college will be glad to sport Rod’s name. Scholastic—Record Staff. Committees—Junior Senior Reception: Play (4). Athletic—Soccer (1. 2. 3. 4): Capt.

Her ability is not limited to athletics, though, for Willie is always on the Honor Roll, and she has won many prizes for her Art work. Look at her picture, folks, and you will agree she is one of the prettiest and most charming girls in the class of 1925. Here’s to your success, in whatever you may attempt.

He was on our Junior Class Ring Committee and certainly did good work in helping to choose a ring for us. He has done many favors for his class and the school with his Chevrolet. That little car certainly did come in handy, a great many times, especially around our Class Play time. Bud is not going on to school but we wish him success in whatever he may attempt.

A ship homeward roams, retracing its foam, A journey draws to an end; Set your foot firm, stand on the rock, not the sand, And profit by friendship with friend. The path branches out; dare to do, not doubt, Take hold of the reins of tomorrow; Take courage, not fear, have a smile, not a tear, Pull away from the by-path of sorrow. We have lived, we have grown, we have reaj)ed, we have sown In a field of our own creation; But the orchard of State, is the field of our fate, And it grows to the field of the Nation. A journey is won and another begun, The test is only beginning; The kind of a start is the capital part That will count when it comes to the winning.

Orchestra U P I - D A H 49 PrpaiiU'nt’s Aiiiireaa The Class of 1925 has reached its goal, but another game is about to start. The preliminary part is completed, and now we are about to enlist in the battle of life. We celebrate, this evening, one of the most glorious events in our lives, and as a class we extend to our parents and friends here assembled, a most cordial welcome, and we hope you will enjoy your brief sojourn with us. We appreciate the great things made jx ssible by you, and we realize that you have given us the best. We extend to you our heartfelt gratitude for this wonderful, recently enlarged school, so well equipped, and its spacious grounds. We also appreciate the noble men and women who have shaped our careers, and lastly we appreciate the deep interest you have shown in our various undertakings. In this auditorium, where you are tonight, our class organized four years ago. We foresaw dimly these exercises. Now we experience them in actuality. We have grown into young men and women, and we have enjoyed the fruits of endeavor in the securing of an education. There have been changes even in that short span of time, and we now realize how these experiences have equipped us for the game ahead. We will step forth from Upper Darby the largest class in its history. But we are only a link in the ever increasing chain of students who come here to acquire knowledge from this plentiful source. As large as we arc, and as occupied as he is, Mr. Mendenhall has always found time to take a deep interest in the affairs of this class, and the sound advice we have received from him, from time to time, will be an eternal sun on the horizon of our lives. In Mr. Tyson, our Principal, we have found a companion, never too busy to help and encourage; a man of noble character and principles, and a man of ceaseless endeavor. Also our class has been blessed with class advisors who understand, and class advisors who have grown with us and are one of us. As friend, teacher and advisor, Miss Yerkcs has come, in two short years, to occupy a distinct and characteristic place in our affections. Nor, will we soon forget her ceaseless energy in directing our Junior and Senior dramatic productions. We feel our High School life has been enriched by our contact with her. This group can never forget the untiring assistance rendered by Mr. Nelson. He has helped us all along the way, and has been a beacon light on the sea of our High School life. We hold him as our pattern of a teacher, advisor, com- panion and pal. and we hope he can he made to realize how we value his friendship. You are gathered together for a good time and we hope the spirit of fun and good feeling penetrates and permeates the heart of everyone. You will see the high-lights of some of the sunny spots of our Upper Darby days; you will see glimpses of some of the good times we have had together here. This is the Grand Finale of 1925, and we sincerely hope that tonight there will be created a memory that will be everlasting to us, as a class, and to you as its friends. 50 U P I - D A H GJlasa iSjtatnnj After all, a history of the Class of ’25 is a pretty big thing to write, and we wonder if we can possibly crowd the many events of our four years’ climb into such little space. The goal, at the top of the ladder which we have been steadily mounting for four happy years, has been reached. Today, we are graduated, and we leave with joyous but reluctant hearts. We were over two hundred strong when we first entered the halls of dear old Upper Darby, one sunny morning in September. 1921. From the four corners of the earth we .came—North, Fast. South and West. Some of us were shy and silent: others, eager and bright-eyed: all looking forward with anticipation to this new life at Upper Darby. On October 5. 1921. we assembled in the auditorium to begin the important business of class organization. Needless to say, we were delighted to hear that Miss Davenport and Mr. Nelson had been appointed as our class advisors. We welcomed them and learned soon to know them, not merely as advisors, but as friends and comrades. We elected as officers for our Freshman year: President, George Jacoby; Vice-President, James Hefty: Secretary, Margaret King; Treasurer, Helen Larzelere. Even as early as this it seemed inevitable that we should take a large part in athletics. Virginia Willis was the only Freshman on the girls’ varsity basketball team. A boys’ basketball team was organized with Howard Cates as manager. Our colors won second place on Field Day that year. The road of our second year seemed brighter and we seemed more grown up and important as we plodded onward to our goal—graduation. How wonderful it seemed not to be stami ed as Freshmen any longer. The halls and class rooms took on a different as| cct as we entered them. We welcomed many new members into our midst, and started our second year with the re-election of our Freshman officers. Our first appearance in public was our class play, “Eliza Comes to Stay,” which was produced on April 14. Although this was our first dramatic attempt, it proved a huge success. Our second social debut was made May 5, when we gave our first dance. Everyone will remember what a blossoming success it was. Our ambitious hands reached out for other ways and means of doing something for Class and School. We made a very successful campaign for the “Ladies’ Home Journal,” and earned quite a sum of money through the subscriptions we procured. Again we were represented on the athletic field. We were the proud winners of the inter-class meet of 1923. One was sure to find a few Sophomores on every team. Ruth McClain brought honor to the class in the inter-class Declamation Contest by receiving third prize. We must also speak of our active part in the organization and enforcement of Student Government which was started that year. September. 1923. saw us about to embark on one of our happiest and most successful years. We were fast becoming more essential to our school and many interesting things to be done lay before us. It was with sincere regret that we learned of Miss Davenjxjrt’s inability to continue as our advisor, and we welcomed Miss Ycrkcs along with the new members of the class. Once more the class organization occupied our attention; the result of our decision was the re-election of our former officers. U P I - D A H 51 One of the most important events of our Junior year was the selection of a class ring, and this was accomplished without great difficulty. Our dance on December 1 commenced the social side of our school life. This dance was said to have been the most enjoyable dance ever given in Upper Darby. This frivolous side of our nature continued as the uppermost part of our lives; and invitations (price, $1.50) were once more issued inviting the public to another of our dances on January 26. This affair was quite as successful as its predecessor. The class honor and reputation was once more upheld by Doris Ryder, who won second place for us in the Declamation Contest. Our next great achievement was the presentation of the class play, “The Hottentot,” on March 29, 1924. It proved a racing” success, and attained for us a place in the dramatic world of the school. The latter part of May was brightened for us by the reception which we gave to the Seniors. This charming dance concluded our program of activities for the year, and we looked forward eagerly and impatiently to the fall of ’24 when we should have the privilege of calling ourselves Seniors. September of '24 once more reunited us, not as undergraduates, but as Seniors. Seniors! That title of which we stood in such great awe way back in the misty past when we were Freshmen. The fact that this year was our last opportunity to work for our school was an incentive to achieve greater success. Our class officers were unanimously re-elected and we started the year with confidence. Some of our members were left behind but new ones came whom we heartily welcomed, thus numbering a class of a hundred fourteen. On the athletic field we were well represented by both girls and boys, and we feel that we have helped in bringing home victory in football and baseball and championships in soccer and basketball. How hard we debated and rebutted. Once more we gave to our school a championship-Undcfeated Championship of Debating in Delaware County. Our social life was not neglected, nor must we slight it here. Our dances given in November and January were the best we had ever given. Hot dogs, lemonade and exhibition dancing blended beautifully, November 11, when our class enjoyed a party of our very own. Santa Claus called us together again to another “very own” party. Will we ever forget “Romeo and Juliet” or the birth- day cakes. February is now noted for another great event, the greatest accomplishment of our career, “Kempy,” the Senior Play. The Bence family and their friends shall remain in the memories of all. “Kempy” was our monument, by which we shall always be remembered. We were also represented successfully in the dif- ferent Public Speaking Contests by Helen Bechtold and Kathryn Goodall, who brought further honor to the Class and School. Our Senior Essays are finished ; our long looked for trip to Washington is now a delightful dream, and last, but not least, our exams are past. The Senior Final, our last activity, will soon be a memory. “Everything to Help, Nothing to Hinder,” has kept us on the straight and narrow path to success. To classes who come after us, we feel our record stands as a challenge for greater effort and more splendid achievement. We have worked and played; we have given of ourselves; we pass on the sacred privilege of continuing an increasing tradition to the Class of 1926. 52 U P I - D A H ©lass Proplpn} TIME: Present. PLACE: Upper Darby High School. Attention, Classmates! The guards at the outposts have just sent in word that Father Time is limping along this part of the universe and will probably pass through here in a few seconds. The officer in charge states further, that Father Time is in a good humor and if treated respectfully and attentively, he may read a few predictions and prophecies from his great hook. Enter Father Time— Greetings. Father Time. It has been almost a year since you have been here as our guest. My, but you are looking young and spry and I do believe you have just had your pretty scythe resharpened. Thanks, for your flattery, my little children, but I must be moving on. You know time waits for no man. Yes. but Father I am not a man and we are just dying to hear a few lines from your great book which tells all about our future.” Well, no one can say that Father Time ever denied anyone his first request, so I'll read you a few lines, but only a few because time is short, and what’s more my eyes are getting dim.” • ¥ Howard Cates is pitching in fine form for the Athletics.

May all, or any, previous wills or testa- ments be declared null and void in the presence of this, our final decree. Before making this final will, we of the afore said feel sure that we are “physi- cally strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” As to the enormous wealth, intellectual heights, and colossal ambitions, attained by us in four short years of honest endeavor, by hook or crook, we desire after months of meditation, to bequeath these properties, as follows: 1. We will and bequeath to dear old Upper Darby a spirit of good will, honest endeavor, and eternal friendship. 2. To our friends, the Juniors, we bequeath the last ounce of patience left in the faculty, provided that it is used up in small doses. 3. We leave to the student smokers our watchful eye and our sense of precaution as a means of protection against the smokiug committee. 4. We leave the romantic tendencies of Deal, Warren, Cates and Bell- airs to those gallant gentlemen who feel they can safely claim to be honest ladies-men. 5. To Alonzo B. Farr we will the magnificent, silver-toned oratorical talent of Clarence Schmidt. 6. As old age creeps upon our bent and feeble president, we feel it necessary to quickly bequeath his great powers of leadership to Woody Bond, the Junior Class President. 7. Our athletes leave the hot water from the showers to next year’s varsity teams, hoping they will emerge with shiny faces and cleaner counten- ances. 8. We leave to next year’s chemistry class an acute sense of smell for dainty perfumes such as carbon disulphide, also numerous cracked beakers and pulverized test tubes, to be used as they sec fit. 9. Realizing that Upper Darby’s best athletes are about to succumb to that disease known to the medical world as graduation, we suggest that an athletic incubator be installed in the new building. 10. To Senor De Paul we leave the scintillating Spanish ability of Senor Rodrigo Warren. 11. We will and bequeath a sum of money sufficent to buy Mr. Thomas J. Milne a new set of moth and burglar-proof lockers for his athletic equip- ment. 12. We will to the Junior Class our ability to secure enough atheltic expenses from our A. A. treasurer, Mr. Wallace C. Savage. U P I - D A H 55 13. We desire that the lonely mirror in the locker room be severed into two sections so that both'Hoys and girls may enjoy one. 14. To William Johnson we leave Jerry Douglas’ pipe. 15. To the Commercial Juniors we leave the ability of Mildred Kirk, Betty Smith, Catherine Bradley and Alice Ball to enliven Room 212. 16. To Donald Wright we leave the good nature of John Esbin. 17. To the Junior athletes we leave a box of cigars to be used to bribe Gus Timms for hot water after games. 18.

Dilworth U P I - D A H 59 Slip Jfnrutarii fHarrh of Sburatimt Public education, which has played so great a part in our national prog- ress, has advanced almost unbelievably since the establishment of our country. When the colonists settled on this continent, popular education was practically unknown. To a large extent, the boy or girl received his schooling at home. The New England Colonies, however, were the first to see the value, in fact, the necessity for public education. The Middle Atlantic and Southern Colonies were a little more backward. Today, public educa- tion is valued so highly that it is compulsory throughout the United States. There is no greater factor in the progress of this great union than this development in which Pennsylvania has taken a prominent part. To whom are we indebted for this vast improvement? In a large degree to the efforts of certain men who have helped to make history in education in Pennsyl- vania. William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Carnegie. Charles Schwab, Russell Conwell, Edward Bok, Stephen Girard, John Wanamakcr, Thaddeus Stevens; men who have made their marks along their own lines; men with whom we are familiar; but men whom we have not necessarily connected with educational progress in Pennsylvania. Volumes would be necessary to point out the services of all of these men, so let us consider a few as typical of the whole group. William Penn, the man to whom we, as Pennsylvanians owe most, by the founding of a government so liberal and so republican in its nature, laid the foundation for education in this state. Freedom of speech, thought, and religion, all necessary if the masses are to be educated, were the ideals which Penn established. It was on this foundation that the great institution of of education was built. Benjamin Franklin probably is better known to us because of his accomplishments as author, scientist and stateman. His efforts in the estab- lishment of the “Academy and Charitable School of the Province of Pennsyl- 60 U P I - D A H vania” which later became the Philadelphia College and finally the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, have endeared him in our hearts. This was one of the greatest contributions to education which Pennsylvania has received. In addition, this man, through his work in founding the Saturday Evening Post and through his writings, has been a great factor in the education of the public. The man whose services we shall consider next was not a Pennsylvanian by birth. Thaddeus Stevens was born in Vermont, but he lived the greater portion of his life in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When the cause of public education in this state seemed to have been defeated, Thaddeus Stevens got behind it, worked for it. fought for it and finally saved it. In 1834, an act had been passed in Pennsylvania which established the grand principle of free public schools for all. This law had been passed with only one dissent- ing vote. However, the support of these schools brought taxes, taxes brought discontent, and the public was stirred against this law. The people sent a legislature to Harrisburg to repeal the act. The Senate considered it first and by a vote of two to one showed its wish for its repeal. The House, on a test vote, was apparently in favor of the repeal. The Democratic Party had warned the governor, who was a member of the same party, that a veto of this repeal meant his doom. The very structure, the very existence of public education in our state was being shaken. There was one defender of the cause, one opponent to this assault, that one was Thaddeus Stevens. He gave a speech which electrified the House; a speech which saved the public school system from ignominious defeat; a speech which made possible the progress which education has made in this state. There is no greater con- tributor to the cause of public education in Pennsylvania than Thaddeus Stevens. Russell Con well, well-known to all of us as the President of Temple University, performed an invaluable service along these lines by the estab- lishing of that institution in 1888. This man has devoted his life to educa- tion. Lehigh University, another of Pennsylvania’s many colleges owes much to Charles Schwab. The building of auditoriums at the various colleges and universities is but another form of Schwab’s generosity. Andrew Carnegie came to his country as a poor Scotch lad and settled in Western Pennsylvania. Through his own efforts he raised himself to the heights of success. This success he used to return to society the wealth which he has accumulated. He chose education as one means of making these returns. Perhaps the greatest contribution which he has made has been in the form of the Carnegie libraries. The educational value of these is so great that it can hardly be measured. The Carnegie Institute of Technology, at Pittsburg is but another instance. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advance- ment of Teaching—this and the others already mentioned certainly entitle Andrew Carnegie to a high place among the educational figures in Pennsyl- vania. These are only a few of the men who have rallied to the cause. Men from all walks of life have seen its value and have been big enough to make sacrifices for its progress. It is through the vision of such as these that we arc able to have an occasion such as this tonight. Let us honor those who are daily engaged in this work, but let us also give due credit to those who have so greatly figured in the forward march of education. U P I - D A H 61 ©itr (Eoumslttp aui) ©nr Critoni Our township is an old one. Its history has been one of prosperity and peace. Yet, due to the character of the population, only of late has it risen to its present great position as a “land of homes.” Then, the land was dotted with mills; today, it is covered with substantial homes. The last ten years have brought with the unbelieveable, yet visable speed of progress, practi- cally a new township. The district still contains the nine square miles of former times, yet the occupations, the population, amusements, and roads have all completely changed. With nearly eighty miles of excellent roads and twenty-two miles of trolley tracks forming a network connecting all parts of the township, the growth has been steady and well distributed. The wealth and population have twice been doubled,—today both arc steadily growing! With all, there has been a proportional extension of all social organizations. This growth has called for some stabilizer. Just as the child needs some guiding hand, so the growing community needs its guiding institution. The people in their respective communities arc held together by their churches and clubs, but a union of these communities is needed. A healthy township must be a unified township, one in which the people work together, in which a feeling of equality exists. What is of sufficient agency to do this? Our churches? The churches, we feel, do not extend their unifying work beyond their own districts. They may and often do unite the people in their communities, but, although their fine influence may extend far beyond each little region, it is not felt as a strong unifier, for it draws only a home here and there. We have our clubs. Can they serve in this manner? No, we are forced to say. Their very nature does not allow them to hold all the people in union. The number and variety of our clubs alone seem to account for their inability to unite and demo- cratize the people. Restriction of membership, difference in ideals, and localization of action, all weaken their power to serve in that way. 62 U P I - D A H What is left? Our churches and clubs both hold high the torch of good-fellowship in community life, but how shall we grasp the hand of our neighbor who is “so near and yet so far?” We cannot live a narrow, hemmed-in life—it is against all American, red-blooded, and democratic ideals. The answer to this question is found in that very word that has taught us to think of such a question. It is our School that thus serves our township! It extends its arms and covers the whole township. The children of the districts are taken as they start school and brought up together. They feel like members of one family, all equal, all together. They complete their grammar school work and reach the High School. Here they meet their township brothers and sisters, they work on equal terms, they learn their lessons together, and have their play hours together. What is the result? Each year the High School, as a climax to the school system, turns out boys and girls who will be the future citizens of the town- ship. They are fitted for their task, but above all they know how to work with one another as neighbors, friends, and rules of our land in the future. Not alone docs the work of the school extend to the pupils, but also to their fathers and mothers. The athletics, the home and school organizations, the displays, the entertainments, the school magazines—all these draw our parents together. Where could one find a group more representative of all parts of the township, more interested in the affairs of the township, and finally more united in effort to turn out better citizens, than in this assembly and every assembly at the commencement exercises in this High School? This school work, so necessary in the township, has been growing and achieving success. We have seven school buildings in the district; six grade schools, and one high school. All of these, with one exception have been built within the last twelve years. They stand as a mark of progress. With each increase in population our school system has grown to cover the need. When we consider the stupendous growth of the district in the past ten years, we realize just what this means. In considering this growth, remember that while much credit is due to those who build the state, those who protect and strengthen it are to be praised as well. So now while thanking our business men, our real estate men, and our professional men, let us pause and extend our grateful thanks to those who have worked out our school system, the democratizcr and educator of the people. u% play’s tljp tljmg 64 U P I - D A H “ Eliza (Cmitpa ®n 'Flic Class of 1925 chose «as its Sophomore Play, “Eliza Comes to Stay.” The Honorable Sandy Verrall, the part taken by Joseph Glenn, our famous «actor, was a young bachelor who had no cares in the world, until the time he was called upon to fulfill his promise to “cherish” the child of an old friend of his. This child (as he thought) was to be sent to him to be taken care of and Sandy’s aunt and uncle agreed to help him with his t«ask. The aunt, Helen Bechtold, and the uncle, Frederick Stockwell, however, did not approve of their nephew’s f.ancy for a young «actress, Alice Ball, and they nearly quarreled with Sandy on this account. Sandy had three other very important helpers in his proposed task; Kathryn Goodall, the nurse; Robert Dowling, the butler; and William Hyslop, another bachelor. He needed all this help, for when “Eliza,” Margaret King, came to Sandy’s residence she proved to be altogether different from anything any of the other characters had seen before. Instead of a little child, as they had expected, “Eliza” was a queer, wild, uneducated girl of «about eighteen. Poor Sandy was overwhelmed with the sight of her terrible clothes and with the apparent fancy she had raken to him at first sight. So he decided to go away and leave his friends to take care of Eliza. When he returned everything was changed, the bachelor, the aunt and uncle were all very much in love with “Dorothy,” as they then called “Eliza,” and even more than that, the bachelor wanted her to marry him. Dorothy refused him, however, and when her new manner and clothes fascinated Sandy, he offered to take care of her forever. “QJlj? ifottrntot” The year of 1924 rolled around and we realized that the time had come for us to select our Junior Play. “We wanted something clean, peppy «and unusual,” we said, and so our class advisors started to pore over copies of the latest plays and fin.ally handed us for our «approbation, that masterpiece, “The Hottentot.” George Adams was the bedraggled young chap. Sam by name, who was compelled to ride that fiery steed. The Hottentot,” in order to stand high in the favor of his lady-love, a part played by Doris Ryder. Edward Lord leaped into prominence by his inimitable portrayal of Swift, the butler, who, though ende.avoring to «aid the generous tipping Sam, caused him many «agonizing moments. Eleanor Ritchie, as the dashing young widow, was “perfectly priceless” and caused many a young swain’s heart to flutter. Allan Osmond, «as the “also ran,” Jeanne Pericat as the French maid, Bill Roberts as connoisseur of race horses. Stewart Shull and Dorothy Harvey «as the perfect host and hostess, Lawrence Griffith as the horse trainer, and W.altcr Kelly as the gallant young army officer, contributed their talents toward making our Junior Play a memorable one in the annals of U. D. H. S. SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR PLAYS 66 U P I - D A H “Kriitpu” And then the fun began! We do not know a better way to start a reminiscence of our Senior Play masterpiece, “Kempy,” than by these few words. What a job we had ahead of us when we realized that we had to live up to the reputation established by the cast of “Eliza Comes to Stay,” and added to by the cast of “The Hottentot.” Besides, we wanted to give a production as good as, if not better, than those given by previous Senior Classes. And so we started to enact the story of a family. Bence by name, in a small town in southern New Jersey. Discouragement, hard work, yes, these wc had, but always ahead gleamed the star of hoped-for success. The night of our first performance arrived and with dry mouths and trembling knees we waited for the closing bars of the overture. The curtain parted—now close your eyes and once more picture our play. Grouchy, lovable old Dad Bence, none other than Ben Bischof, continually complaining about the extravagances of his daughter, Kate, played by Helen Bechtold, a girl who had many and various avocations and who is really in love with Duke Merrill, a young millionaire, played by William Roberts. Picture again, Mildred Schaal as the good-looking, beautifully dressed, “spunky” eldest daughter; Bertha Bennett, the sweet, demure, lovable Ruth, the peace-maker of the family and her unforgettable love scene with bashful Kempy James; played by Walter Kelley, who was not really a plumber, but an architect. Picture Bill Hyslop as the rollicking real estate agent and husband of Jane— generous, not always sober, never aware of the fact that sometimes “two is company.” Picture Ruth McClain as poor down-trodden Ma Bence, who is devotedly attached to her family and who, in spite of her many blunderings, is a quaint old soul and an outstanding character on the stage. After you have reviewed the violent outbursts of Pa, the blunderings of Ma, the rising to power and authority of Kempv. and various other outstanding scenes in the play, open your eyes and tell the world that “Kempy” was one of the best productions staged by a Senior Class at U. D. H. S. Much credit goes to the cast; of course, but without the aid of Miss Mar- garet Yerkes, our most able and hard-working coach, and Mr. Lester Nelson, our most capable business manager, their efforts would have been fruitless. And so ve close the curtain on our dramatic achievements, and just as the faculty, the student-lx)dy and the community have aided us, so we, when we leave dear old Upper Darby as alumni, hope to reciprocate.

Upt-ialj When we look back over the four years of our high school life, with its work, its fleeting pleasures and its lasting joys, can we help putting the Upi-Dah at the head of that list of things which we remember longest and best of all? How eagerly we waited for each issue, crying continually, “Oh, when does the Upi-Dah come out?” or “Oh, I’m so anxious to see the Upi-Dah. I wish they would hurry,” until the weary staff wanted to shout, “Silence! we are doing it just as fast as we can.” That is one side of the paper, but do you ever stop to consider what it means to the staff and its faculty advisors who work—and worry sometimes, too— to give you a school magazine of which you can be proud? “We hope our first attempt at a school paper will meet with great success. Our object in presenting this, our labors, to you, is to bring the school and you closer together.” Our sentiments exactly; but this quotation was taken from an editorial in the very first issue of the Upi-Dah, which, by the way, was not called “The Upi-Dah,” but the “U. D. II. S.” It was dated November, 1916, and very bravely and creditably started out as a three-column newspaper of four pages. In 1920 the name was changed to “The Upi-Dah.” These words, suggested by Mr. Savage, were taken from the chorus of the college song, “Excelsior,” and U P I - D A H 71 were chosen most of all because they represented the spirit of that song and also because they contained the first letters of “Upper Darby.” During these four years the tiny paper grew to a thriving magazine of thirty-two pages. I imagine it stiffened its back and fluttered its leaves, ready to compete with other high school publications. A splendid literary department was added, athletics were given no small amount of space, and throughout the whole paper a spirit of fun was prevalent. Well, it grew and grew and grew some more, until today Upper Darby has a magazine of sixty-four pages—a magazine of which to be proud, worthy of distinction and appreciation. It is almost unnecessary to say that the Upi-Dah is issued six times during the school year. The fifth edition, however, being the Junior Number, is edited entirely by a staff selected by the Juniors. And then, of course, the very last and best issue of all is our record-breaking Year Book, the Seniors’ very own book, the realization of all their best dreams. At present, it is our policy to have those who care to work on the staff, hand in their names. From that list, the faculty advisors select the staff, and with all heads together the year starts off with a campaign for funds. Oh, money, money! Even the Upi-Dah could not exist without that medium of exchange (shades of Economics!) Financial aid has been given to us, first by our own subscribers, and, second, by our advertisers. Not only is it necessary to thank those boys and girls who, early in the year, gave every minute of their spare time to secure these ads, but also must we express our gratitude to the community for its hearty support in our advertising campaign. We have spent long hours over copy or reading proof or pasting the dummy; we have had last minute anxieties over too much or too little material; but always we have worked with a will. We have tried to be worthy of our position as keepers of the Upi-Dah and in all love for our paper we pass it on to our successors. May you guard it well! 72 U P I - D A H Back Row: Osmond, Schmidt, Klusmeyer, Cates, Bohn. Middle Row: Mr. Tyson, Coach; Jacoby, T. Miller, Kelley, Hyslop, Seibold, Mr. Nelson, Coach.

Uphating If progress is to be measured by growth, then the Suburban Debating League may be said to have progressed rapidly during the last year. It has spread its arms, so to speak, and now includes Media, Glen-Nor, Swarthmorc, Ridley Park, Lansdownc, Darby, and Upper Darby,—seven schools in all. With this astonishing increase in participants, the schedule of debates was necessarily enlarged. Each school was required to complete a series of eight debates on two of the important questions of the day; there were to be eight teams representing each school, four to argue the questions away from home and four to argue the questions at home. The championship was to be deter- mined by percentages, and no one person was to take part in more than two debates. By reason of this last rule Upper Darby was enabled to put nineteen members on its allotcd teams. After much preliminary debating in the various Senior English classes, the first teams to carry the name of Upper Darby through the battle of tongues were finally selected. The affirmative team was composed of Rudolph Seibold, Clarence Schmidt, Mary McCrone and Allan Osmond, alternate. These went to Media to defend the question: Resolved, That the modern high and secondary schools arc laying too much stress on inter- U P I - D A H 73 scholastic athletics. That same day the negative team—Kathryn Goodall. Bertha Bennett, Theodore Miller, and Helen Bcchtold, alternate—remained at home to dispute the question with Media’s affirmative team. The results away and at home were both two to one victories for Upper Darby. Naturally the second round of debates found us enthusiastic. The same question was to be fought pro and con with Glen-Nor as our “worthy opponents.” Our affirmative team, this time, consisted of Edith Kline, Carl Bohn, Rudolph Seibold, and Clarence Schmidt, alternate; the negative team was made up of Kathryn Goodall, Helen Bechtold, George Jacoby, and Mary McCrone, alternate. Again did fortune smile upon us; away our victory was this time unanimous, and at home again, two to one. lint, if we had considered our successes easily secured in these instances, we were yet to know a more easy and effortless triumph. Swarthmore being unable to get a team together, defaulted two of the debates. Six victories were now chalked in our favor. Still the championship was not yet ours; Lansdowne had won five debates in her series and lost but one; they were running us a close second. To achieve the title of champions we were thus compelled to win the remaining two debates which were to be held with Darby, an ancient and experienced rival, as well as 1924 champions. If I.ans- downc were to secure two more victories and we, a defeat, the championship would then be tied. We had to win two more times. Back to the English classes went the new subject for debate; Resolved, That some form of restriction should be placed on Supreme Court decisions affecting Congressional legislation. An agitating week for Seniors passed before the new teams were ready to be picked. Mr. Tyson went into cpiartcrs with the negative team: Elizabeth Carey, Howard Cates and William Hyslop with Margaret Hunt as alternate. Mr. Nelson retreated to the board room with the affirmative team: Walter Kelley. Clarence Schmidt and Henry Klusmcycr with Emily Cain as alternate. Under the deft direction of these two able coaches ample preparations were made for the approaching day. When the time did actually arrive for the final round of debates, a bright and sunny day was discovered. (It seemed as though the sun was bright all that day!) Down to Darby rode the affirmative team, a little nervous, a little d!ry in the mouth but with pleasant premonitions. At home the negative team prepared the reception for the visiting team. Gallons of water were consumed. Hours drifted into eternity and then the presiding officer pounded his gavel. By three o’clock the news was all around. We had won two more victories, each by a unanimous vote. Oh ! how the debating team smiled; the school smiled; Mr. Tyson smiled; Mr. Nelson smiled; the day and the entire world smiled ! We were champions! We had won eight debates,—two by default, six by good hard work and, greater yet, three of these victories had been given us by unanimous vote of the judges. Indeed, we were champions, with a championship we could proudly hand to the incoming Senior class. May they try as hard to defend it as we did to secure it. 74 U P I - D A H Standing: Schmidt, Joseph, Goodall, Ball, Jacoby. Sitting: Carey, Hankins, McClain, McCrone, King. Srriamattnn The Class of 1925, in its Sophomore year, was represented in both the Girls’ and Hoys’ Declamation Contests. In the Girls’ Contest, Ruth McClain, Christine Joseph and Margaret King were our representatives. Ruth McClain tied for third place with “The Legend of Bregenz” and gave the class its first honor in the line of Declamation. George Jacoby represented the class in the Boys’ Contest held that year. In our Junior year, we were represented in the Girls’ Contest by Kathryn Goodall. Doris Ryder, Alice Hall and Gladys Hankins. We were more fortunate, as Juniors, and Doris Ryder won second place with “Billie Brad and the Big Lie.” In our Senior year, Elizabeth Carey and Mary McCrone were our representatives in the Girls’ Contest. Elizabeth Carey, a newcomer, won second place with a humorous selection, “The Return of the Hoe.” No Decla- mation Contest was held for the boys but Clarence Schmidt won the Upper Darby Elimination Contest which is preparatory to the National Oratorical Regional Contest. His oration was “The Constitution.” Kathryn Goodall competed in the Delaware County Quadrangular Contest and tied for first place in the Serious Reading class. Her selection was entitled, “An American Citizen.” By this victory, Kathryn again gave Upper Darby the cup, which we had won last year in the Serious Reading Group. U P I - D A H 75 Prittrpaa (Eljryamitljnmim For the first time in the history of our school, the Music Department gave an operetta this year. This was in line with the program, entered into this year, of developing our curriculum in this department. Under the able direction of Mr. Haupt, a large cast of thirteen members, supported by a chorus of fifty voices and an orchestra totaling thirty pieces, was trained to a high degree of perfection. The leading character parts were taken by Elsie Mecaskie, who assumed the title role; Frederick Stockwcll and Frank Rathmell, the two suitors for the hand of the Princess; George Linn, the gruff, old Emperor, What-For-Whi, whose chief purpose in life was clemency; Elizabeth Cox, the beautiful Fairy Moon- beam, and Elliott Swart, whose debut as Court Chamberlain was very impressive. Added to the above were Harold Malloy and his band of Sprites, whose “Meow” song proved very popular; Howard Cates and Roderick Warren, the fierce, imperial attendants, and a small but attractive group of attendants to the princess, composed of Dorothy Kohler, Anita Fulton, Eleanor Murray and Betty White. The costuming, scenery and lighting effects were new to our stage, and did a great deal to enhance the success of the whole production. A great deal of credit belongs to everybody who so unselfishly devoted time and energy to making this, our first musical production, such a success, that it is sure to be only the forerunner of many other annual affairs of like character. 76 U P I - D A H Standing: Dowling, Stockwell, Roberts, Adams. Sitting: Goodall, Larzelere, Bechtold, Willis, tribunal About three years ago the faculty of Upper Darby had a meeting. They decided at this meeting that if some of the power of making and enforcing laws were to be put into the hands of the students themselves, the school might be benefited. Accordingly, our present system of student participation in government was inaugurated. The plan of this government provided for two administrative depart- ments called the Tribunal and the Board of Monitors. To these organizations was given the power of creating and enforcing rules governing the conduct of the students in the lunchroom and on the school property. The Tribunal, consisting of two members from each of the five classes, elected semi-annually, is the official court in our government. It meets once a week and has three officers,—president, vice-president and secretary. The body has all the functions of any official organ. The chief duty of the Tribunal is to try all cases of violation of the code of rules which are reported to them by the Monitors. Thus far the efforts of the Tribunal have met with remarkable success, and we extend to them our best wishes for the future, U P I - D A H 77 Back Row: Horsfall, Esbin, Schmidt.

Mnmtora Co-operating with the Tribunal is the Board of Monitors. This organiza- tion is the second factor in our student government. Not less important than the Tribunal, and requiring a highly efficient degree of organization, the Monitor system has made itself felt in all three years of its existence. The institution consists of thirty members, three girls and three boys from each class acting as representatives of their respective groups, and elected every ten weeks. In this department arc originated practically all the rules governing students in the lunchroom and on the school property. When the laws in the Code of Rules arc amended it is the duty of the Monitors to maintain and enforce them. Theirs is the power of upholding the Student Code, and the authority of reporting violators to the Tribunal. Since the inauguration of the system, the Monitors have seemed to feel the importance and the seriousness of the job they have undertaken. And, it is a job and a hard one—this holding the responsibility of one’s conduct on one’s own shouldrs. In leaving Upper Darby, the class of ’25 urges the student body to give to our present system its best support and respect. We believe in the students of the school, and we go with the sincere belief that in the future, Student Government will be a bigger and better thing in Upper Darby. 78 U P I - D A H Arbor iag The Senior Class, following a custom started three years ago, observed Arbor Day this fall by planting a tree. A committee of three, Frank Rathmell, Emily Cain and Dorothy Battersby, made all arrangements and prepared the program. The entire Senior Class, Class Advisors, and other members of the faculty collected near the south entrance of the school where the tree was to be planted. George Jacoby, as Class President, was in charge of the exercises. He read a poem written by a member of our class, Alice Ball, entitled “Our Oak Tree,” which is an ode to the large oak standing near the south entrance to the school. Mr. Nelson made a few remarks and then other memlx rs of the faculty present were called ui on to say a few words. Each member of the faculty present threw a shovelful of dirt about the roots of the tree, and following them the class officers. Then it was asked if other members of the class wished to take part in these exercises by throwing in a shovelful of dirt. Many responded and soon the roots were entirely covered. The exercises were concluded with the singing of the High School Hymn. U P I - D A H 79 GUmtrratonr ffiayittg On the 25th of November, 1924, the cornerstone of the new addition-to the Upper Darby High School was laid. The entire student body and faculty gathered behind the school, where the exercises were conducted by the Senior Class with George Jacoby, the President, in charge. A committee of five members, with William Shannon as chairman, had collected a number of things to be placed in the cornerstone. These included lists of the faculty, Senior Class and School Hoard, a Bible, two local news- papers, several coins, a Upi-Dah, and a small American flag. Rev. Norman G. Oliver, pastor of the Drexel Hill Baptist Church, gave the invocation. Then, in a short address, Mr. Mendenhall told us how the schools of the township have grown, making necessary the building of several new ones. Mr. Tyson also addressed us and read one of Van Dyke’s poems which was very appropriate for the occasion. We were honored to have one of the members of the school board, Mrs. Hopwood, speak to us at this time. Both Mr. Nelson and Miss Yerkcs, the Senior Class Advisors, made a few remarks and then Miss Turner, our librarian and principal of the old Upper Darby High, spread the first bit of mortar on the cornerstone. The trowel passed from her hands to each of the members of the faculty present, to the Senior Class Officers, and to the members of the committee. Led by a few pieces of the High School Orchestra, the student body joined in singing two stanzas of “America.” This was followed by the High School Hymn which closed the exercises. The Senior Class felt it an honor to have been asked to take charge of the laying of this cornerstone 80 U P I - D A H Back Row: Jacoby, Schmidt, Klusmeycr, Leatherman, Warren, Dowling.

The members were chosen from those seniors serving on the Upi-Dah staff. This number was supplemented by ten more seniors. The work of compil- ing the book was divided among the different committees made up of staff members. The readers will note many changes made in the book this year. We hope they will approve of the most important change, namely, the arrangement of the pictures in the biography section. We have also attempted to have a snap-shot of each senior placed in the year book. You will find a unique change in the sports department. The pictures of the lettermcn have been arranged in an entirely different way. These are but a few of the little personal touches in our record number. We, of the Record Staff, give you this book with the hope that it will fulfill your expectations and that you will approve and like any changes we have made. 82 U P I - D A H Swrrr Upper Darby has at last discarded that annual uneasiness so often felt, when the major portion of a good team graduates, and our faith in any Milne combination is complete. All he asks of us, each year, is eleven real fellows with time enough to inflate a new hall; and, instantly, a successful team is assembled. This year, our first big objective was to retain the laurels and prestige of our predecessors. If we could do that, our critics said, we would he a success. Well, the boys refused to guard any old traditions; they wanted new lands to conquer, or better yet, they wished to climb from the sky to the sun. Without a field and with only a very small squad, the new machine began its difficult task. A few times they slipped, hut they never stopped. The boys rode roughshod through the goal of Girard College, which had always proved impenetrable in the past.' At the close of the season, the team entered the lists of the first interscholastic soccer tournament held at the University of Pennsylvania. The first contest was won by a default. Then Girard College made a last minute entry and tried to avenge their defeat, presented by Upper Darby a few weeks previous hut our toes couldn’t he turned. The following day the hoys contested with Baltimore Poly for the championship. The Houston Soccer Cup, to he competed for each year at the University, now hears as its first inscription, the name of Upper Darby. This cup reposes in the University of Pennsylvania Trophy Case. A less pretentious cup. symbolic of our championship, now graces our own trophy case, as a constant and visible reminder of what a royal group of fellows can do. Next year a new team will put on the old harness. What they will do and how they will do it will remain a problem for the future; hut the boys may hang up their shoes and rest assured that Mr. Milne will unearth some plan to equal, if not exceed, their splendid achievements.

How many times that injured machine responded with another brace of first downs which led to many unexpected victories over teams of higher and heavier calibre. The boys, still heavily handicapped with lack of experience, fought game after game like tried and trusted veterans. Yes, they had a few slips now and then but never a fall or a setback from lack of grit or punch. The team opened the season with Ridley Park and lost, 13-0, but Manager Mullov displayed great tact by playing the County Champions as a starter. From this game the team gathered a heap of knowledge and a store of valuable confidence which helped to turn in victories later on in the season. The playing of Bellairs and Glenn, at the ends, made a worth while exhibi- tion. With Hinkle as the bulwark of defense and Wicland as the chief aggressor, the team reached a new level of football skill. When the Darby game rolled around our opponents arrived at the gridiron to find waiting for them, eleven real experienced players, backed by a throng of loyal rooters one hundred per cent strong and all set to wipe out the smarts of past defeats. We concede to Darby great credit for their pluck and light but for once w T were 'AptSurprised to find our team rewarded with a 7-0 victory Wieland with a fierce line plunge in the third period with eight yards to go for a first down, rammed his way for a touchdown and a win, thus ending a four year endeavor. Chick Fetters is captain-elect and he will lead an experienced team next fall, with the vacant positions well filled with the cream of this season's yearlings. To Mr. Conner, should he continue in the capacity of football coach next year, we wish the best of good luck. HENRY GURNEY, Capt. HERBERT S.

With five veterans and a new man, our good coach was sure to pull through suc- cessfully. We had a tough start with Reading, but we learned lots; and. it didn’t take the team long to catch up with its stride. There are few. if any, who will ever forget the Lower Merion and Norristown games with three regulars ineligible. There was so much cheering and yelling that only whispers could be heard for a week. The great work of Cates and Esbin, who were awarded places on the “All Suburban,” was the feature of the season. Much can l e said for the other mem- bers: Deal, Warren, Davis, Lord, Gurney, Bond and Bellairs. These boys worked hard, and it was their efforts that put the bacon in the ice box for dear old Upper Darby. After a successful season, finishing third in the “Class A” Suburban League, the boys were ready for the Kiwanis Delaware County Tourney at Chester. We walked through Media, Glen-Nor and Chester in championship style and the trophy case sports a new cup. We now have two legs on this cup and one more victory will assure us permanent possession. Three rounds were travelled a week later in the Penn Tourney and everything was going O. K. when we bumped into Scott High, a clever team from Ohio, and lost 28 to 33. The team appreciates the fine work of Manager Hefty and hopes that next year’s manager will be as good. The entire team with the exception of Bond is lost by graduation, but we all know it won’t take Mr. Milne long to assemble a new machine. Upper Darby may, or may not, win next year, but we believe she will. If hoping and believing are of any avail, we know she will. At any rate, there will be a group of new alumni who will wish many a time for the good old feel of the ball. U P I - D A H 87 Standing—Mr. T. J.

As this book hits the press, our diamond chasers arc leading the League, with Norristown and Chester close and fearsome seconds. Our only slip has been Norristown. However, Norristown, having been beaten by Lansdowne and Chester, we believe that they can be con- quered. The pitching staff, although a little weak, is holding its own better than was expected,—Cates, the versatile star, doing most of the work with Drewes and Bischof acting as valuable assistants and relief men. The back stop is well filled with two veterans, Esbin and Warren. Captain Deal can easily be located around the hot corner, and McCullough occupies the cut off posi- tion. Much credit goes to Binns for his snappy playing at second base. Lott and Applegate alternate at first, and both men do fine work in spite of the fact that they are green at the job. The hard hitting outfield consists of Davis, England and Hartman. The boys are hitting the old apple all around the orchard this year, and this helps cover some of the poor fielding caused by inexperience. It’s bad business to fortell a season, but we all know that the team and coach will not accpet anything short of a championship. We don’t care about the past or future prospects.—all we want is a champion- ship team for 1925. JOHN J. DEAL, Capt. WALLACE C.

Without a place to practice and with most of the veterans gone, track did not form a good attrac- tion for young athletes. However, a team was organized with Capt. Leather- man and Warren as a nucleus. The first competition was staged at Lansd6wne. Upper Darby Tied with Ridley Park for a second place,—Charles Stetson and Rod Warren being the high- est Upper Darby scorers. The Junior High School Relay Team romped off with first place and a handsome silver cup in this meet. In the Swarthmore Inter-scholastics the competition was fast and Upper Darby retired without a tally. The fol- lowing week, a dual meet was fought at Havcrford College with the Presides. The old boys romped away with the meet, the score being 6S-30 in favor of the Collegians. The Penn Relay Team failed to make a good showing. A new man earned his U. D. when George Adams captured third place in the 220 low hurdles at Lower Merion. Three more efforts will be made later in the season. Next year will bring a new track, greater interest and revived spirit. With this aid Upper Darby will regain her old place among the leaders. GEORGE LEATHERMAN, Capt. THOS. J.

That’s what the Purple and Gold sextet showed on the basketball court this year. With Miss Trego to coach and Marian Harral to captain the team, the girls started off with plenty of vim. Even though we did not win a majority of the games, our opponents topped us by only five points in the total of the scores. We lost the first two games to Media and Haverford but, being optimistic, we believed the third time would be lucky, so we came out on top in the game with Lower Mcrion after a hard battle. From that time our luck came in spells and we seesawed between victories and defeats. Marian Walker, Virginia Willis and Eleanor Goebber played in the forward position. Helen Uarzelere, Christine Joseph and Anna Salerno held the center positions and they played a good all-round game; the honors of the defensive positions went to Captain Harral, Dorothy McFadden and Mabel Klinka, who played with the spirit characteristic of Upper Darby. Practically the whole of the girls’ team will graduate this year, leaving only two veterans, Eleanor Goebber and Mabel Klinka, to start the 1926 season. However. Eleanor is one of the best forwards in scholastic ranks and Mabel is an excellent guard, so they will act as the mainstay for the next team. It’s not the winning of the game; it’s the spirit in which the game is played that really counts in the end, and that is what Upper Darby girls have—sportsmanship and the fighting spirit. As long as they retain these, no team can be really down and out. So, for the 1926 defenders of the Purple and Gold we wish the best of success in their efforts.

QfetuttH The court game this year has progressed as rapidly as may be expected under the adverse conditions. The season was well started before any organized practice was obtained and as there were no available tennis courts it was Coach Stevens’ problem to construct some. With nothing but a piece of ground and a lot of determination as material, two tennis courts, situated behind the new high school building, were the result. It is well to mention the excellent spirit which is prevalent among the boys and girls of the tennis teams, practicing as they are under unfavorable conditions. We hope, however, to produce some winning teams and it is very prob- able that we will, having cjuite a few veterans, both girls and boys, from last year. Virginia Willis, Margaret King and Christine Joseph are the girls and Richard Bond, Sidney Peters, William Shannon and Luther Ileppe complete the list of “vets.” There are several matches on the schedules which will also afford pleasant trips, the most prominent being those at West Chester and Lancaster. In concluding we wish to thank Mr. Stevens and those who helped him, for their efforts in behalf of this infant sport of the Upper Darby High School. 96 U P I - D A H SENIOR WEARERS OF THE U. D. 1.

We will long for the days we’ve passed over, And while longing we’ll soon realize Just how dearly we love Upi er Darby, Fond our praises will ring through the skies; And again when the class, reunited, Gathers back in the old chapel hall, We’ll forget all the days we’re divided— Only school days we’ll try to recall. We’ll achieve fame, success and great honor All for thee, dear old fostering High. Every victory will echo thy glory, As the years in procession go by; We will eagerly face the tomorrow, And the joys it surely will bring. For these joys will make lighter our sorrow, As the winter is softened by spring. We must go: there is work to be finished, And to each one his task is assigned; Though we all have a goal and a purpose, 'Tis the way to the goal we must find; So we bid sad farewell to our High School, And farewell to our friends that remain; Always over you all, dear old schoolmates, May the Goddess of Happiness reign.
