U.D.H.S The Oak 1931 DOROTHY MARGARET BRYAN Dot is from New Jersey where mosquitoes are so Urge they roost in tree . She claim no reUtionship to William Jen- nings Bryan, because she feels that he was alwavs up to too much monkey-business. She has garnered more library passes in one year than most seniors use in a life-time. Shes a slip of a girl for whom some one is sure to fall. Clubs: Le Cercle FrancaU (4). FRANKLIN FRASER BRYAN Franklin Fraser is young love’s dream of what a man should be.

AUDREY STELLA BURGFISS Did you ever look in Room 207 and watch Audrey at the typewriter and marvel at the way her long, graceful fingers flew everywhere over the keys?

Her qualifications arc that she can file something besides her nails and can laugh rather heartily at a pointless joke. School: Orchestra (I. 2). 15

U. D.H.S The Oak 1931 GERTRUDE JEAN' BRAM Wc deeply lament the fact that we are unable to present an all-talking all-singing. all-dancing picture to accom- pany this paragraph because so much is lost without the tone and action so natural with Jean. We who know her arc already familiar with her rikkIc and her strictly Baltimorean accent and realize how incomplete is any presentation of her without them. MAURICE DANIEL BRAM. JR Not the Maurice, ladies and gentlemen, but a very pre- sentable figure, nevertheless, from Baltimore, who grew tired of Edgar Allan Poe and oysters and decided to give Upper Darby the chance to become his alma mater. Maurice rolls his r's and his eye much to the delectation of his newly- acquired friends. He has given assistance in arranging several of our fandango struggles. Class: Dance Committee (-1). HELEN EMILY BRERETON Another reason why Room 227 is always cluttered up with palpitating males. Cheer-leaders seem particularly suscep- tible. As a member of Upper Darby's gadding glee club. Betty has helped to spread U. D.'s good reputation—every- where—even in far-off Media. Her demure manner i de- ceiving. a she is a most mischievous tease. This George Crothers will verify. School: Gym Exhibition (I. 2. 3. 4); May Day 3. 4); Monitor Class: Basketball (3. 4); The Oak; Committees—Dance (I); Executive (3). Clubs: Glee Club (I. 2. 3, 4) MILDRED KERNE BRICKER Bricker gas-e Mr. Milne writer's cramp from signing all her U. D. certificates. She's pushed wooden spheres on our southern exposure, projected leather missiles on the gym floor, been the supporting fin of the swimming team, and blinded us with tlie dust she raises on the tennis courts. Yet Bricker grins modestly and turns to praise the other fellow School: A. A.

Captain 4); Swimming (I. 2. 3); Tennis (1. 2. 3. 4). Clubs: Hi-Y (2, 3. Treasurer 4); Tay-Wistalvan (4). JOSEPH GRANT BRUDKR Joe was one of the bright lights of the football team. In most fields, kicking is a liability, but on the football field it is an asset, to which fact Joe owes his success since he always has plenty of kick coming. And in classe , poor Joe thinks he's teachers' prey, but to us it seems he makes teach- ers pray. School: Thrift Councilor (3); Monitor (I). Class: Football (I); Baseball (I); Basketball (I); Play Com- mittee (4). 14

U. D. H.S The Oak 1931 MILDRED CHARLOTTE BURK Mildred is the light-haired half of the couple commonly know as the Burk sisters. If there weren't such a thing “ Commercial I-aw. Mildred would be supremely happy; when Mr. Milne gets out his roll book. Mildred knows there s no hope of passing herself off as her sister or anybody else. She hopes that some day the party of the first part and the party of the second part will sign a truce. School: Orchestra (I, 2). NINA DOROTHY BURNLEY Dot carries the sparkle of her personality from her dancing talent to writing clever English essays and keeping Virgil stepping. If we say she remind us of lavender and old lace, don't get the impression that she's serious-minded and musty. She has a lively sense of humor that even stands up under the test of a cafeteria seat. ..

WALTER RONALD BURNLEY A most pleasant mixture of scholarship, friendliness, gen- tlernanliness. and business. Ronald's report card often sings a ditty of this sort— I have A's. I have B's. yes. I have no Cs! Ronald adds interest to the Commerce dub. and multiplies his pleasures by dividing his support among vari- ous school activities. All of which subtracts from his bank 5cAoo !

KATHRYN MARY CAIN A cock of the head, a fling of the hands, a rising crescendo that bears a faint resemblance to a giggle, and Casy stands before you. in miniature. Casy has grown older, and wiser, and a fraction or so taller, but she's still an impulsive little girl underneath And it seems that her parents have been raising Cain for the past seventeen years.

JAMES STUART CAMPBELL Tlie super-athlete heaves into sight. Stew is one of the few mortals who can run through an entire football team, shoot baskets blindfolded, or out-distance all competitor on the cinder oval. His main indoor sport is teaching innocent chemicals to do tricks for him. and he get most surprising results when he tries to do this along with trig and economics. School: A. A.
