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.).
