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. Dramus Club (4): Oichcstra (3. 4); Hand (3. 4).

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. I), wasn’t hard enough for him so next year he is going to 1 . C. I . Au revoir, Carroll! Monitor (1): Cross-country (4). 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).

U P I - D A H 21 RUTH S. DUDDY Fernwood Here’s another one of our quiet girls—in the eyes oi the school. But then there are two sides to every question. Ask one of Ruth's many friends for the other side. Ruth’s one worry is French. If ever you hear Pray tor me” you'll know Ruth’s daily worry has begun. There is, however, one time when this modest little maid forgets to worry about French and worries about a certain NT». Id tackle on the football team. We won’t wish all your worries away. Ruth, because we’re sure that that one worry is a pleasure! Glee Club (1). JOHN J. ECKENROTH “Jack East Lansdownc John, whose nom dc plume has always been Jack with us, is one of Fast I.ansdownc’s worthy sons. Through four years of service, his record shows merit in hard work and service. As a freshman, he early showed athletic ability and made both the basketball and football teams. In hi?, junior and senior years his faithful work on the football squad gave him the position of varsity guard. His excellent ability on the French horn in our orchestra has set a high mark for his successor. Good luck to you, Jack.

ROBERT ENGLAND “Bob” Highland Park Bob. the youth of many attributes, needs no introduction. Although mere words fail to describe this talented fellow, we may mention that he was captain of two varsity teams anti a stellar three-letter man. As to the other qualities which make up a suc- cessful high school career, scholastic and social. Bob has no mean share of each. Relative to the former, while no honor roll student, he received meritorious reports. Owing to his popularity he has twice been elected to the Hi-Y Club Vice-Presidency and was our second Fideles winner; which brings out the latter characteristic- popularity. Bob’s social activities have been confined to one—Ruth. Bob has set high standards to live up to—but he’ll do it! HI-Y ’lc«-President (4); Basketball (3). ('a plain (4); Baseball (I. 2. 3). Captain (4); Soccer (3. 4): Fideles (4); Three letter Award (4). MARJORIE EVANS Margie” By wood Marjorie has been with us only a very short time, having entered Upper Darby last December from West Philly. When we come to think of it we are not at all surprised at Margie’s short stay. For. you see. she is a great traveler. Not many people can boast of hajjng been in England and Wales. Margie was also in Detroit before she wandered to By wood. To add to her widespread interest, there is a ring from Annapolis. By the way. Margie, you haven’t told us much about him—have you? JOHN FEARON Johnny Highland Park Behold! Johnny with his hair conquered for a time. Here is the brutal tie-puller of the lunch room. What could cast a pall of gloom in such a cheery face? Nothing, except being ejected from the operetta east. Johnny has worked hard for his postion there He spent his two primary years with the chorus (the school chorus, you understand), the third as a supporter of Seventeen” and now tin- operetta. As a side line, he adorned the track last year, worked with the monitors, and now is rooting for the Hi-Y. So long. John, don’t make Marconi too jealous, or don’t get shocked too easily! l L1(3u operetta 4); Dram us Club (4); HI-Y (4): Chorus (1 Track (3); Monitors' Nominating Committee (3). ’
