U P I - D A H 25 EARL A. GOTT Drexel Hill Ever since his entrance into Upper Darby, Karl has been one of the hardest hut quietest workers of the class. In the freshman year he well deserved the distinction of being chosen class president. Always willing to help, he lends a hand wherever needed and has worked on many committees. He has always exemplified a high grade of Upper Darby spirit and his service in Cross-Country, Upi- Dah Staff, the Debating Team, and the school Orchestra shall always he remembered. Since his name has often appeared on the Honor Roll, his record tokens future success.

EVELYN F. GROVES Ev Drexel Hill Ev—the jollicst, most fun-loving girl in the senior class. Wher- ever there's a game to be supported or some fun to be had—Evelyn's there, too. But the odd thing is that Ev can be most serious. Her marks in chemistry. Latin, or English speak for themselves. The tribunal will tell you what a great secretary Ev was! Also, she tutors Latin. Imagine it—wc can't! We know Ev's going to have marvelous times in Dickinson, especially, since she has to take care of Flora as well as herself. Tribunal. Secretary (4). Member (2): Monitor (3): Upl-Dah. Special Writer (4): Record Number (4): Junior Number (3): Honor Roll (1. 2. 3. 4); Knglish Prize (2); Motto Committee (2). EDWARD K. GURK Ed Drexel Hill Ed is another one of our quiet studious chaps. Hardly a day goes by that his lessons arc not prepared, and usually they’re well done at that. Ed is a good sport, and has never been seen to refuse anybody a good turn. He has done some sleuthing as a monitor and this year he plays his sax in the orchestra. Ed can swing a mean tennis racquet and plays a good game of golf. We wish him lots of success in whatver college he chooses. Monitor (1. 2); Orchestra (4): Tennis 4). ALICE HAGERMAN Al Drexel Hill Alice is popular at all gatherings where her jokes and mischief endear her to everyone. At parties she breaks the ice and humors the crowd. In school her smothered laugh, or half-controlled giggle, helps so materially in relieving the tedious monotony of history and math. And while we are giggling, she assumes a loved, innocent expression that would convulse anyone. Alice is loyal, true, ener- getic and a dandy good friend. Then, too. Alice is a very much sought after follower of the tcrpsichorcan art. Keep it up. Making others happy is no easy task. Junior Number (3): Typing Awards (4). FLORENCE HAIG Fluff East Lansdownc Here's Fluff, who comes all the way from East Lansdownc every morning to our school house of learning. Of course. Fluff is like all the rest of us when it comes to growling about exams and so forth; likewise with the rest of us. she is greatly interested in athletics. In fact. Fluff is quite a star in basketball and tennis. Oh. how she loves to talk of her favorites! Helen Wills and Suzanne Lenglen, watch out! Perhaps Fluff will meet Suzanne when she goes on that wonderful trip to France this summer. Class Basketball (3. 4); Tennis (3. 4).

24 U P I - D A H JOSEPH THOMAS GEUTING. JR. “Joe East Lansdownc Well, it certainly seems strange that a fellow from the West should come here and show us how to debate, but then Lincoln came from Springfield; so perhaps that accounts for Joe's ability. Joe tells us that his hobby is reading, and he sure is well versed in books. If you hear a fellow with a slow drawl in his talk, you will know it is Friend Joe. Always in a hurry with his slow way of walking, always encouraging and always smiling, that's Joe. You can't find a better friend. Monitor (I): In-butlng (4); Committee on Revision of Code (4). RICHARD B. GOODALL “Dick Aldan Here is one of the school’s all-around fellows. Here is one of those chaps who is willing to be of assistance at any time. You have but to ask. and Dick is right there with the g »ods. We might say that Dick in his capacity of basketball manager, helped on Messrs. Milne and Herzog more than a lot during the last season. Dick hopes to attend prep school in the near future and we know he will get along splendidly and successfully. Basketball Manager (l); I IS-V 4); Monitor (2). Committee» Dance (3). Christmas Basket (1. I). GERTRUDE M. GOODWIN “Gertie” Sharon Hill Look out! Here comes that big political boss. If you're not careful she'll argue you into something and make you join her Red Bolshevik Party. She just squelches you with one blow. Gertie says. You can't keep a Goodwin down.” and we believe it! Gert does very little around school—according to Gertrude. Of course. A’s in chemistrtv. math, and English arc mere nothings. So. too. is enough Upi-Dah work for six people. Gert’s official capacity on the debating team was commissary. She supplied the peanuts. All hail the Bolsheviks! Upi-Dah (2. 4); Record Staff (4): Junior Number (3): Fideles (4): Honor Roll 1. 2. 3. I); Kngllsh Prize (3): fpl-Dah Advertising Prize (3); Debating (4). MAE GOODWIN Highland Park Mae! Doesn't the name itself tell you she is quiet? But she’s not too quiet for us. Although Mae can tickle the ivories, she wouldn't let you know it. so we’ll tell you she can play swell!” Can she do arithmetic? We'll say she can! In fact, she is good in all her studies. We call her Helpful Henry because if you ever need any information whatsoever, she'll help you out. Her blue- gray eyes denote steadiness, and we know she will succeed in what- ever she attempts. FLORENCE ALICE GORKE “Floss” Highland Park Florence may be classed as one of our really quiet girls, although her most intimate friends know that beneath that quietness lurks room for plenty of laughter and humor. To know her is to like her.” certainly fits our Floss. We all agree that we look to Florence as one of our champion typists and piano players. We often wonder how she can make the keys go so fast, but then, we remember that “Practice makes perfect. Yes, sir! The Commer- cial Department is proud to claim Floss. Junior Upi-Dah (3); Drain us Club (4): Operetta (4); Orchestra (4).

26 U P I - D A H JOHN H. HALDEMAN ‘‘Mouche Highland Park Who's making all that noise? Who’s that amusing those fel- lows? Why. that’s our Mouche. One minute cracking jokes and applying his wit to make you laugh, and the next minute giving you sound advice in time of need. These are the two things which make Johnnie so valuable as a friend. Mouche’s willingness to work is shown by his work in the Senior Play and other activities. John expects to go to Lehigh next year and prepare to earn his M. D. Here’s luck to you, old top! Play 4): ('lass Basketball (4); Monitor (2). GORDON HALL “Bob” East Lansdowne Ha. Ha. Haw. Haw—put on your brakes, here comes Hall. That laugh of his is as contagious as a disease. We’d like to get that disease. Bob plays the traps in the orchestra, not only the school’s, but a professional one as well. He’s so enthusiastic that Mr. Haupt is going to charge him for the batons broken trying to get his attention. Bob likes typewriting, which is something else he can pound. He sure does play a mean game of football, and if he goes through life as he does through the line, watch his dust. Orchestra (1. 2. 3. I): Monitor (1): Dramus Club (3. 4): Football 2. 3. 4). MARJORIE F. HALLAHAN “Marj Lansdowne Here’s another one of the blonde beauties of the class- meet Marjorie, one of the champion talkers of Room 232. Talk, eat, breaks hearts and drives a Chevrolet—these are a few of her accom- plishments. Marj has been with us five full years, hardly missing a day. She’s a real Upper Darbyite. that’s sure. One other thing Marj delights in is talking about Avalon. We wonder why? Marj also wishes Mrs. Douglass would get married soon again, because she had such a good time at the last wedding. Class Basketball (1. 3. 4): Dairy Council Play (3); French Play (4). Committees—Arbor Day (4). Dance (3. 4). Christmas Basket (3. 4). VIRGINIA M. HARRISON ’ Ginnie” Upper Darby This is one of ’27’s quietest girls. Virginia came to us just this year from Prince of Wales College in Canada. Since then she has made us ashamed of ourselves for ever grumbling about lessons by telling us of the hard work in Canadian schools. After only a short acquaintance we learned that Virginia was very fond of studies, especially English. Virginia doesn’t know whether she wants to come back to Upper Darby as a post-grad or go to Colum- bia, but in whatever she does we wish her the best of luck. ELIZABETH BOWERS HASLETT “Biff” East Lansdowne A kind, sweet, thoughtful girl. Here she is! Elizabeth is one of the sweetest, quietest girls in our class—but you know the say- ing: Still water always runs dee] . Biff is one of the commercial throng, too. Some day we’ll recognize her as someone’s private secretary. You can always depend upon Biff for anything; just ask anyone of her many friends. She’s full of fun. too. We know our Biff will always succeed with such a sunny disposition. We can be sure of that! Oleo Club (1. 2).
