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).

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).

28 U P I - D A H WALTER HORNER. JR. “Walt Highland Park A great pianist has been lost in Walt. If you have ever watched his fingers travel over the typewriter keys, you would immediately realize that Paderewski would he an also ran. Fact is. he got a special prize for typing. Walt ought to know how to put on entertainments, he's been on the dance committees for three years and the party committee this year. He not only puts on entertain- ments—he does some himself, as witnessed in the Operetta and the Junior Class Play. Play Cl): Operetta (4); Vice-President Monitors (4). Committees— Dance (2. 3. 4). Party (4). VERONICA ELIZABETH HOYLE “Ver Drcxel Hill Here’s another one of our fair Commercials. Do you like her? We do! Ver has been with us all through our high school life and has been a faithful supporter in everything we have undertaken. I guess you didn’t know that Ver is one of our champion spellers in the Commercial group? Yes. indeed, just ask her any word you're stumped on. she'll spell it right off the bat. Ver plans to be somebody's stenog. and we consider the employer who gets her pretty lucky! He will learn to appreciate her as we have. Spelling Team (4). ISABEL S. IRELAND “Irish Secane Well, who's doing all the talking? You can bet it’s Irish. If you want a cure for the blues, just get near her. Even though her motto seems to be Better late than never, we can still depend on her. She’s little, but she’s right there. Of course, you all know Irish's vocation. Well, if you don’t, you ought to. She's our future interior decorator. Irish has talent, and future living rooms should profit by her display of it. Our Irish will be a big success in whatever she may attempt. MAURICE JACKSON Ted” Drcxel Hill Shh—we're going to divulge Jackson’s life ambition. He said it’s a secret, but we will only tell one or two about it. He's going to be an economics teacher! Isn't that perfectly sweet? Some- how there always seems something kittenish about Ted. but we will only tell her name to those who write to the editor, inclosing a self-addressed envelope—write early and avoid the rush. Ted’s always laughing, not just smiling, or grinning, but laughing, and you can hear it. believe me. It’s like the measles—it's contagious. Swart says not to take any seventy-five cent pieces. Ted. Good advice. VIOLA M. JOHNSON “Vi” Drexel Hill How can we ever describe the clever and charming Viola? A glance at her activities will show what she is. and what we think of her. Remember the haughty Julia Strcdlv. of the Sophomore Play: It was the same girl who led this year’s basketball team through such a successful season. And can she do chemistry? just ask Dot Renner. .Neither of them knows yet what it's all about, but they do know how to sport good-looking fraternitv pins. Eh. what? Vi. here’s wishing you the best ever at Syracuse. ’■? n.; Tr,',unal Seen-tnry (4); Monitor (1): Plans n.“ B® 1 ,M b •'): aptaln (4); Class Pask.-tball 1. 2); Pi doles 4): 'tennis Manager (I).
