14 U P I - D A H ALICE MARION ANDRASSY “Scraps” Folcroft Big black eyes, black hair, two adorable dimples and a ready smile -that’s Alice. Her smile has won many friends tor her during the three years she has been with us. This little lady is quite studious. She has completed her high school career in three years! Shorthand and typing are favorites with Alice, and we know that next year somebody is going to get an A-l stenog. Then, too. Alice is one of our most promising musicians. Happiness, Alice, in what- ever you do! Dramus Club (3. 4): Orchestra (3, 4). WILLIAM PERQUETTE APPLEGATE “Dinge Kirklyn Affable Dinge and his rubber smile is the possessor of that striking popular appeal called personality. His uncanny ability to turn a classroom into chaos is a lesson in sagacity and genius. His versatile ability in athletics has won tor him the coveted letter in three sports. Dinge has been our class weather barometer—when it rained he stayed home, and if it looked like rain, he waited until it did. His technique in all things, however, makes us look for big things from Bill in the future. Vice-President (2): Hl-Y (4): Soccer (3, 4): Basketball (4): Base- ball 3. 4). WM. RUSSEL B. ATCHINSON “Rus” Sharon Hill The only thing we have against Rus is that he hails from Sharon Hill. But kidding aside. Sharon Hill shouid be proud to claim him. Is he a real Upper Darbvite? Don't make us laugh. This year he did his bit to make the senior play a success. 'Way back in ’25, before he took a vacation to Florida for the following winter. Rus grabbed a silver medal for his pole-vaulting proficiency. Rus sa.vcth that his hobby is study—believe it or don’t. The boy friend pictured here is the possessor of a loud smile which has cheered us all times innumerable. Rus has always been a real sup- porter of Upper Darby and ’27. That’s not extraordinary, but it’s mightv true! Tribunal (1): Play (4): Class Basketball (1): Soccer 1. 4): Track (1. 4). Committees—Christmas Basket 2. 4), Color 1). HOWARD BALDWIN “Baldy” East Lansdowne The gentleman from East Lansdowne. we next introduce. A tromboncr who can trombone, or, if you like it better, a musician who can music. Bands, orchestra, jazz aggregations, organizations uncounted share in Baldy's talents, and there’s plenty to spare. Back last year Mr. Baldwin was seen in the role of football man- ager. and here he managed well indeed. True, this beau of Lans- downe does almost everything, and most astonishing he does it in a manner to be proud of. YVith which we say farewell to Baldy. Orch.-stru (2. 3. 4): Football Manager (3): Dramus Club (3. 4). WARREN E. BALDWIN “Balder Highland Park Good-natured—that’s Warren. A ready wit. a warm smile, and an encouraging word. '27 has been indeed fortunate in having this member who for the last five years has taken active interest in class activities such as student government, class basketball, and senior play. Incidentally we hear Warren has no mean ability as a pianist—playing in a number of local orchestras. Warren has thus tar been unimpressed by feminine pulchritude, but when he falls well, you know! We wish him all sorts of luck at the College ol Osteopathy. Tribunal (2); Play (4); Clans Basketball (4).

U P I - D A H 15 ETHEL RUTH BARGER ••Baja” Drexel Hill Ethel became one of us in our sophomore year. Ever since then she has been one of our most energetic workers. In fact, we could usually find her working in one of two places, cither busily pounding the Underwood keys in the typing room or working in the Operetta. By the way, did you sec her in that musical masterpiece? If you didn't, you certainly missed it. Baja has been a great help to every- one, and we know that she will attain fame and fortune in her future tasks. Operetta (3, 4). THORMOD BASSOE, Jr. ‘‘Con Essington Concrete is Thorntod’s most popular nickname. He once lived in Connecticut and was nicknamed “Con,” which later changed to ‘ Concrete.' Con has been on the track team the last two years, and has indulged in tennis, too. We won't forget his battle against Syd Peters in one of the tournaments. He is the dashing quarter- back of the Essington Athletic Club. Not only is Con a great athlete but also a heart-breaker. Ii you want to see him blush just say Thelma.” You ought to ask him why lie intentionally misses the street car at Folsom. Track (3. I); Tenni». CLAYTON BAUERLE Bud Bywood Bud came to Upper Darby front Northeast High, entering here in the junior class. It was here that he found himself participating in football, basketball, and track. Off the fields of battle, too. Bud has been a big man. His imposing mien as monitor and clever ideas for the senior party helped make these other activities suc- cessful. Bud is a quiet fellow and refuses to let anybody know anything about him. We don’t know the reason, but we do know he is bashful around the girls. Bud's motto scents to be. “Be funny and you get to be a popular fellow. Basketball (3. 4): Football. 3. 4): Track 3. 4): Tenni» (3): Monitor (4): Party Committee (4). FRANCIS M. BOGERT “Fran” Stcnehurst Mr. School News Bogert. the Cleveland Kid. or so he has been termed by our esteemed chief editor. School news just seems to rally round that boy whether he look for it or not. Maybe you've read his clever Back Stage columns, too—you've missed something good if you haven't. He's going to be a newspaper man. and ha- started out on the Upi-Dah. Last year he was on rite junior staff, this year it's the regular staff and the Record Number. He's the boy that made the chorus girls do their stuff as stage manager of the Operetta, and that’s that.

BOHINICK ®°” Oak View Perpetual motion personified—that’s Margaret. If she ever stopped making a noise she would get lock-jaw. Bo is a positive cure for the blues, so if you’re grouchy here’s a cure. For all her giggles this miss can really be serious, and is a hard worker. Did you see the decorations at Christmas time in 112? Well, that was just a small portion of the work Bo has done. Bo has always wor- ried about her lessons but. as you see. she has by no means dropped by the wayside.
