U P I - D A H 17 MARIE C. BUCHANAN Highland Park Everyone knows Marie with her long tresses and big. grey eyes. She is our famous monitor who helped make the new code of rules for Upper Darby Marie is true blue. kind, and a good sport. We know West Chester Normal will be as glad to receive her as we are sorry to lose her. Wasn't it a good thing Upper Darby pins came into existence? If there is anyone who does not know their use. Marie would be glad to enlighten him or her. Secretary of Monitors (I). Committees—Junior-Senior Reception (3). Committee on Revision f the Code (4). ROBERT McCOMBS BUCHANAN “Bob” Sharon Hill Bob comes to us from the wilds of Sharon Hill. He is a quiet, good natured fellow who has been with us since he was a freshman. He was a big asset to the soccer team ior three years and he can boot that ball! This talented gentleman can also tickle the ivories and pound on the typewriter. No one knows it. but he is a regular poet in a clas by himself. Bob plans to go to business next year and we wish him all kinds of success. When it comes to playing the piano or doing anything in Bob's many successful lines we II let him have a clear track. Soccer (2. 3. 4); Typewriting Award (4). THOMAS E. BURNS. JR. “Tom Drcxel Hill Tom Burns—a real fellow. What more could be said? Plenty, and a little more after that. Cast an admiring eye over the activity list appended below and marvel. Industry, capability, versatility, all arc mirrored in the foot prints which are behind Tom's path through our midst. Tom has hardly slighted his extra-curricular activities ior his lessons, or vice-versa, for he has made the proverbal enviable record in each. Vet adjectives scarcely tell of the real Tom. He’s just a great fellow, a real pal. and a hcart-and-soul Upper Darbvite. Play 3. 4); t’pl-Dah (4); Fideles (4): Record Staff 4): Junior Num- ber (3): Honor Roll (2. 3.

Perhaps, but the t.'lass of '27 can tell a different story. Kay appreciates a joke as well as anyone else, and her delight- ful little giggle is often heard in the corridors and classrooms. You should hear her at the games. Kay's voice can be heard above all the rest. Keep it up. Kay. Your spirit is what keeps the name of Upper Darby in the skies. Why docs Katherine go to the post- office? Well, there is a certain someone, but never mind. Kay. we won’t tell. CLEMENTINE BARTINE CHAIN “Clem” Drexel Hill Mere is a rather quiet lady who. although very studious, is always willing to devote some of her time to help others. Clem has been with us all of our four years. Besides helping others and play- ing tennis, her chief delight is centered around the violin. If her de- termination matches her talent, and we're sure it does, we know she will surely make a place tor herself in the musical world. Good luck. Clementine! We hope that you enjoy your musical studies abroad next year.

16 U P I - D A H EDITH BONSALL “Ede Sharon Hill You have before you another quiet miss—until you know her. Although quiet. Ede uses her energy in typing and i so swift, she doesn't have to join the Slow Club. Speaking of clubs. Ede bad an important part in forming the Commerce Club. If you want a new line, come to Ede. and. just like that, you will have it. She never appears to do much work around school—until you try to find her; when you succeed, she is doing almost all there is to be done. Monitor (1. 2); Clan Bankotball (I. 2); Junior Number (.1): ;!«•«■ Club H). Committee»—Flower (2). Dance t). Christmas Basket 2). FRED BRADLEY “Doc” Highland Park Fred doesn't waste his time with the ladies! He is too lured by the call of his place of business. He is. indeed, seemingly engrossed in what he does there, but we have a suspicion that he doesn't know what W'-O-R-K means. School work mixed with humor is Fred’s Conception of an ideal school. He has plenty of school spirit, but doesn't follow any particular line of athletics. However, lie supports the teams by coming out to the games. Any person so attached to his business as Fred, is bound to be a success. Monitor (1). ELSIE M. BRODBECK “Els Drexel Hill You know, sometimes this old world of ours takes on a somber, long-faced expression. Those are the times that we are mighty glad that Elsie is around. She just laughs away our frowns. If your desk is piled high with papers. Elsie says. I'll copy that for you, and she does. Elsie is numbered among those ambitious ones who insisted on taking senior math. Some people will work! It seems that Elsie likes to play also. She is a second Aileen Kiggin. Laugh- ing waters and smiling Elsie go well together. Monitor (1); Thrift Council (2); Junior-Senior Reception Com- mittee (3). SAMUEL BRYDE Sam Drexel Hill Sam. the light-haired son of old U. I), pictured here, is one of our big baseball and soccer men. On the diamond, Sam has done most of his work behind the plate. He is- some backstop! He digs 'em out of the ground, and snatches 'em out of the air. Very seldom does the scorekecper mark down passed ball when Sam’s behind the plate. Can Sammy manhandle the soccer ball? Yea bo! He's a soccerin' fool. Still another attribute of Sam's is popularity —even with freshmen. Baseball (2. 3. t); Football 1. 2. 3): Soccer (4); Basketball (3. 4). HELEN BUCHANAN Aldan Helen is characterized by her black hair, brown eyes, and rosy checks. Who could forget her as the cute little maid. ,Themie. iit Agatha's Aunt”? Helen is a good sport and with her cheerful laugh puts life into everything. After every week-end she has some thrilling tale to tell to the other members of the trio—Martie and Mabs. Helen has put her best into everything, and has come through with flying colors. She is an excellent Latin student, and we know she will do good work at Penn next year. Honor Roll 1); Play (2).

18 U P I - D A H VIRGINIA K. CLENDENING 'Ginny Stonchurst Ginny's the girl, if you want to be cheered up, if you're looking foi a smile. or a true friend. Ginny hails from West Virginia, coin- ing to Upper Darby in '23. She sure can sing, loo, stepping right up to the front ranks in two operettas. Yes, indeed, she's a popular girl with both sexes, lots of friends and liked by all. We some- times wonder why Ginny glances so often to the boys’ side of the lunch room—snuff said- well, Ginny. we girls don't blame you. Operetta 3.

She couldn't stay away from u .. however, and we are very glad that she's back. Dot is going to be one of the luture artists of the country, so don't be surprised ii she asks to paint your portrait. She is not only gifted in art. but also in win- ning hearts. Ask someone at Muhlcnburg. Dot is fast in some- things. but slow in making trolleys; however she manages to ge» there just the same. C|as.M Itask- thall ;{); (Iln- Club: Fellowship „t Youth for I’eace 2); Arbor Day Committee (I). LELAND CLIFFORD Stonchurst A friend in need is a friend indeed. How true this is! I .eland is always ready to help us financially or intellectually—help that we all need at one time or another. When the accounting period comes around, there is where he shines, and where his help is also appreciated. In the afternoon, you can sec him sprinting around the track. Can he tear say you can hardly believe what the stop watch says. I.eland, when not in school, can be seen in or around 69th Street terminal, holding down one of the radiators. The terminal is a real attraction for I,cl so perhaps sonic day it'll be Clifford instead of “Mitten'-managcmcnt. Who can tell? We can't. Monitor (1. 4): Track (I). DOROTHY JUNE COHEN Dot Lansdowne Here is another one of our famous Dorothys. Dot came to Upper Darby from West Philadelphia during her junior year. Good Matured? Well. I should say! Her winning smile endears her to her classmates and doesn't hurt her marks with the teachers. Her favorite outdoor sport is baseball. She was on hand for every game this season. Her favorite indoor sport is eating candy. She hasn't missed a day this year. Dot expects t enter Jefferson Hospital to train to be. we know, a very successful nurse. MILDRED COHEN Flash” Stonchurst We dug deeply into our li t of adjectives before we found a few with which to describe Mildred. She has a sophisticated air about her which eludes and defies description. Clever and charm- ing. she is. and decidedly pretty with the long black locks untouched by shears. Mildred's specialty is reciting, and we don't mind telling you that it is some specialty. When it conies to dramatics. Mildred is right there. She does it with the ease and poise of a veteran. We expect to hear from Mildred some day on this score. Honor Roll (3); • Declumutlon (3).
