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 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),

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.
