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!

Old faithful, that's Carroll, always ready to help out. Carroll has been in U. D. ever since the eighth grade. Naturally lie is well known and well liked. 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). Committees—Junior-Senior Reception (3); Monitor Nominating (3). MIRIAM HENDER CROSS Mim Bywood Heights Blue eyes, rosy checks, a cheery disposition—that's Mim. Mim has been with us for four years. She has helped to make most of our class dances a success in addition to many other activities around school. Can’t you see her teaching youngsters their A II C's: well, that's what she plans to do after finishing Miss Illman’s. 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).

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).

20 U P I - D A H LILLIAN C. DAVIS “Lil” Aldan This young lady. Lillian by name, came to us from Palmyra. N J.. at the beginning of our senior year. She is always ready to smile and quick to help. Lillian has endeared herself to us in such a manner that we certainly realize what we have missed in not having her with us for our four whole years. We are told that a pleasing personality is one of the big assets in the business world, and as Lil has this asset in abundance, we feel sure that she will be great as an efficient private secretary. ZANDER DIETER Llancrch Zander came to I . D. in the sophomore year from Haverford. which has since proved an attraction to him. lint we wonder it it is his longing for Haverford, or one of its fairer sex? It is not an unfamiliar sight to see him on Lansdowne Avenue using the “Thumb Express.” We don't blame him. though 'tis no short walk from Llancrch. He isn’t particular what makes he rides in either. During Zander's trio of years with us. he has been everything— 11 i-V man. sergeant of the nolice in our senior play, and an announcemeni maker in assembly, in which he stands in a class by himself. Yes. Zander's middle name is originality. Piny (4): Hf-Y (4): Committed . ELINOR E. DILWORTH El Bywood Just picture a small, jolly girl with a smile that sends rays of light straight to your heart and you have Elinor. El has served us faithfully in innumerable ways. Who will ever forget the charming mother in Seventeen, and the wee monitor who could make the biggest of them behave? Elinor’s talents do not cease here: oh. my no! Her little bursts of indignation add to her bewitching charms, and she will have the love and good wishes of the Class of '27 with her during her years at Dickinson. Class Play (3): Monitor (3. I). Committees—Magazine Campaign (2). Christmas Haxkot (4). WILLIAM J. DINSMORE Dinsy Aldan We offer tor your approval today our demon tennis manager and amateur electrician. Bill Dinsmore. Dinsy can usually be found around the tennis courts when he is not studying. Then too Bill also boots a wicked soccer ball. He sure has worked hard to fix up the courts, and to make the team a success. He's another chap whom we can count on to help out whenever possible. Bill says lie's going to go to Drexcl to study electrical engineering. We ice! sure lie’ll succeed and we sure do wish him all the success in the world. Tennis Manager (4): Soccer (4); Thrift Council (2. 3). ANDREW JACKSON DOWNES Jack Drexcl Hill This, friends, is Jack Downes the demon musician from Drexcl Hill. Music seems to be his favorite sport. Pardon us. we over- looked the fact that he is usually found with a book in his hands. Jack sure is a regular book worm. He reads all sorts of things- novels. treatises, and even text-books! Another thing Jack is inter- ested in is airplanes. He has been called Upper Darby's foremost aeronautic expert. Jack is a member of the Dramus Club in good standing and a peach of a fellow.
