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.

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.

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).
