THE 1 9 2 9 WEATHER VANE Vi----------- - . .. rbcP A. ISABELLA BENSON And let her eyes speak for her.” Entered Senior Year. Girl Reserves (4) ; Library Council (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Class Day Committee. Although Isabella has been with us but a year we have come to recognize in her one who is efficient and sincere. She can always find something to smile about and always has some cheerful plan ahead. She has surely convinced us that we should attend a small college. In short, Isabella is a credit to her class and a pleasure to her teachers. RUTH BLACK She is of the gentle and open heart ” Track (1. 2, 3); Senior Play Committee (4); Union County Track Team (1, 2. 3) ; Weather Vane Annual Committee; Class Day (4). Ruth has won great fame for herself as the champion blusher of the Class of '29. Really, friends, she absolutely distinguishes herself in that line. She is one of the best and busiest of the business practice students, and we feel sure that she will have a very successful business career unless her employer finds her as charming as we do, and decides that she would make a better blushing bride. CHARLES BOGART '‘And I ant blown along a wandering wind” Second Team, Baseball (3) ; Christmas Play (4) ; Senior Day (4) ; Class Day (4). We have known Charles for a long time; at least we have been acquainted with him. He is so retiring, however, that no one seems to know' much of his “inner self.” Very bashful, very soft-voiced. rather nervous, and loath to recite, lie has gone through four successful high school years. We shall miss him when he is gone. RICHARD BOUTON “This lad is great and lusty.” Interclass Football (3) ; Interclass Track (2); Senior Day (4); Weather Vane Board (3); Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Halliburton Lecture Committee (3) ; Class Treasurer (2); Class Day Committee. Dick can look like anything—in fact, he generally docs, and all at the same time. When not occupied with trying to make himself think he is a baboon, he can be seen laying out his plans for an extensive onion ranch. Some night we will drop in on Dick for a treat. [22]

Vl= THE 1929 WEATHER VANE WATSON AMBRUSTER My love hai on c! Football (I, 2. 3. 4): Basketball 1. 2): Track (3) : French Club (2, 3) ; Slide Rule Club (3) : Hi-'N (2, 3. 4); Orchestra (2. 3. 4); Musical Clubs (3. 4): Clas Day 14 . After four years of officiating at various instruments in the orchestra and playing remarkable football, Moony is preparing to leave with the rest of the jolly seniors. He roams around school looking for a junior, whenever he is not with her. We will miss Moony’s famous toot. KARLDON (L APGAR “.I very gentle, forfait hnigltt. Senior Day (4); Class Day (4). A shy little boy with black curls and blue eyes came to high school four years ago. a boy so shy. so small, and so retiring that he made very little impression on us at first. Now he is one f the tallest of the seniors, has received very commendable marks in his studies, and has distinguished himself on the Senior Day stage. He has not thrown off his shyness as yet. but we all seem to know and like him. She flay'd a bo it HELEN BARNARD - tSk. Spanish Club (2): Art Club (3. 4); Debate Club (1. 2. 3) ; Class Committee (1. 2): Halliburton Lecture (3) ; Weather Vane Annual (4); Class Day (4). Oh Helen! How do you manage your rapid fire lingo? We confess it’s beyond us. Helen loves to spiel Spanish and make us all feel meek and lowly. We have yet to see her with a sorrowing countenance—such a thing is beyond comprehension. Some fun. eh? We hear that her advice to the lovelorn has in many cases been very helpful. BETTY BARRETT “And looking wistfully with wide blue eyes as in a fie hire.'’ Basketball (4); Soccer (4); Senior Day (4); Library Council 4) ; Aviation Club (4) ; Journalism Club (4); Class Committee (4); Class Day Play. Betty is the illustrious rear guard of the Barrett family. She startled the whole school with her unearthly wails in preparation for her part as Lady Macbeth. But she is generally quite calm and collected, except when she is sending all within hearing into hysterics with her lively wit. As a fairy queen Betty is particularly lovely. 121]

 THE 1929 WEATHER VANE FRANCES BROCK Say thou thy say” Entered Senior Year. Frances was a conscientious, unobtrusive worker who came to us this year but did not remain with us. She was particularly fond of dancing and was an authority on playground supervision. JACK BROWNELL He lauohed as is his wont” Interclass Football (1, 2. 3); Varsity (4); Interclass Basketball (2). Easter Play (3); Senior Day (4); Second Team Basketball (I. 3); Spanish Club (4); Slide Rule Club (3. 4); Hi-Y (2, 3. 4); Weather Vane Board (2. 3, 4) ; Weather Vane Annual (4); Halliburton Lecture (3); Junior Prom (3); Class Committee (1. 2, 3, 4) ; Class Track (2, 3); Class Day (4). Jack loves to drive down Shackamaxon Drive during the small hours. But from all accounts lie lias not thoroughly mastered the art of cleaving to the road. He collects autographs, and once tried to inscribe Mr. Johnson’s on his knee with a saw in physics lab. Jack's favorite class is detention. It is rumored that he likes “Mac trucks and since no one can find evidence against this, it is generally accepted. STANLEY CAMPBELL And what shall I say of his virtues?” Varsity Baseball (3. 4); Christmas Play (4). Stan is one of those quiet boys—a strong silent man from the wilds of 117. where men are men and Miss Felton gives detention. He doesn’t say much but how he plays baseball! A charter member of the Coolidge Club and a good fellow is this amiable chap. r —viaAl OLIVER CARBERBX (I „ ' • vOO„ 4,4 He is not so foolish to be Puffed up, nor does he vaunt nor boast ” Varsity Football (4); Varsity Basketball (4); Class Day Play. Ollie has only been with us a year and what a very fortunate year for us! He has already established a precedent because he prefers brunettes as well as blondes. He’s a good dancer, a good sport, and a good friend to us all—now that he has decided not to take the world and its inhabitants seriously. r, . i ' , CoiytLZx. V0L [23]
