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. I): Uramus Club (3. 4); Class liasketlrtll (1); D-lnnvi- tlon (2). DOROTHY CLEVELAND “Dot” Clifton Heights We almost lost Dot when she moved to Detroit, where she stayed for a year. 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).

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.

U P I - D A H 19 ROSE COLANTUONO Teddy” Fernwood Here we have Teddy, one of our speedy little fellows. Teddy has the right idea all right when it comes to typewriters. You just ought to sec her fingers play tag with the keys. She's so fast that it makes you gasp for breath when you watch her. Teddy is a regular guy. She isn't a giant in stature, but she surely makes up tor it in pep. And when it comes to school and class spirit, thus young lady moves right up to Class A. She's a top-notcher!

As for sports, do we all remember the gallant cross-country runner of last fall? As far as we can find out his only vice is an overwhelming desire for a good time. U.

DOROTHY LOUISE COTTON Dotty Stonehurst In our junior year we received a “surprise packet in the form of Dotty. This young lady from Kvandcr Child's High. New York, is one of our quiet, serious classmates, but one with plenty of school spirit. She is going to Lankcnau Hospital next year, to train for the nursing profession. We know she will make us all proud of her in this work, but we arc a little fearful that her present plans may be readjusted when she meets some handsome young surgeon Just the same. Dotty, we wish you life’s very best. MARY HELEN CRAWFORD Aldan Allow me to introduce Miss Mary Crawford, who has traveled these four successful years to Upper Darby from Aldan. Although she is one of the quietest girls in a classroom, she can certainly do her bit outside. She has helped our class by her work as a monitor and by her efficient work on committees. Mary intends to join the ranks at West Chester Normal next year. Our hope for her is that while there she will be as happy as she has been here at Upper Darby. Sloe Club (I).

Besides many other things, Mim has captured the heart of a member of the class of —now take three guesses. Monitor (4). Committees—Dance 3. 4). Christmas Rasket (2).
