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).

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. Class President (1): Tribunal (1): Monitor (2); Cpl-Dah (4); Record Number 4); Dramus t’lub (2. 3. 4); Cross-country (4): .Junior Number (3); Honor Roll (3): Detailing 4); Orchestra (1. 2. 3, 4); Thrift Council (3); Tennis (4): Hl-Y (4). 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).

U P I - D A H 27 WARNER W. HASLETT. JR. East Lansdownc Well, friends, here we have the young, light-haired Romeo who rides the I.ansdowne bus rain or shine. Warner played a mean bass horn in the school orchestra; but he has other uses tor his talent, one of the main ones being the serenading of a certain young lady in 212, who receives all of his glorious music with rapture at least, that is what she says she does. By the wav. Warner says he took French, but we believe it took him. Here’s good luck to our future dentist. Operetta 2. 3. 4): Orchestra (2. 3. 4); Football (2); Track (2); Dramus Club Award; Pennant Committee (2). DOROTHY SUSAN HAYDEN Dot” Drexel Hill This our Dorothy Sue—or why gentlemen prefer blondes! Feast your eyes upon her, for here she is. Dot came to us in her junior Year from Friends’ Central, and has endeared herself to us in those two short years. She was one of the mainstays on the girls’ basketball team, playing guard. Dot tells us she is going to Swarthmore next year, but we think it will be nearer Staunton than that. But wherever she goes, we all wish her all kinds of success. ]ta»ketball 3. 4); Class (3. 4). Committee»— Dance (3). Monitor Nominating (3. 4). JOSEPH HESS “joe” Clifton Heights Another Cliftonitc! They sure come thick and fast, especially fast, both on the field and in classes. If all the Joes were taken out of this class, there would be a few of us left, but this partic- ular Joe is going to be hard to get along without. One never hears him in the corridors, but not a few culprits heard him lay down the law as president of the Tribunal. He was a well-chosen president, according to the testimony of Tribunal members. Joe is going from the Commercial Course directly into business. Take warning. Wall Street! Prculdent. Vice-President of Tribunal (4); Spelling Team. Commit- tee»—Home Journal 2). King» (3). HOWELL HICKMAN “Hick” Bywood Howling Howell.” That handle surely couldn't be tacked onto Hick; he never opens his face enough to let out more than a chirp. However, he seemed to be heard when he called for the soccer or basketball—he usually got it. at any rate. Hick is the well-known wow when it comes to playing either of those games. He certainly earned his letters. We’re going to pull that ancient crack now about Howell has taking ways—anyway, he s| orts a nifty West Philly High ring fastened to his wrist watch. Monitor (3): Kaxkctball (3. 4): Soccer (4). ARTHUR HINKLE Mike Fernwood Ray-y-y Hinkle! That yell has been heard for iour years now. and it has almost become a habit with the student body. Don't let that yell mislead. We want it made clear that his first name is no Raymond, as the yell states. It's Art. and from the evidence seen in the halls it looks as though someone will be wedded to her Art sooner or later. No kiddin' s 'truth, looking at the numbers after his football record, one would think he was quarterback, but he’s not. He played guard—and how! Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (3).
