 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]

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]

THE 1929 WEATHER VANE •■o GEORGE CHAMBERS Utfht was G(twain in life.” We have found that George is somewhat of a chemist—the other day he mixed a little song with Jones, added two teachers and Mr. Neubauer. and got ten hours. We will never forget the time George celebrated the Fourth a little early and set off a pack of firecrackers in Miss Day’s English class. Nevertheless he has many serious moments and spends much time around Mountain Avenue EDGAR CLARK Ought to disdain my teachers?” Debate Club (1); French Club (2, 3. 4); French Club Play (2, 3) ; Mask and Mime Club (3. 4) ; Mask and Mime Plays (4) ; Journalism Club (4); Class Day (4). Edgar Clark recently developed an explosive more powerful than T.N.T. and received a great ovation from Mr. Rogers. His chief delights are posing for the Annual and raising dogs and horses. He plans to start a ranch next spring. His great ambition is to leave Phiffcrman in the dust. Wc surely sympathize with Edgar in his pity for Lad) Macbeth. MILDRED COLES “The maiden sat quiet; she was very happy.” Thanksgiving Play (4) ; Mask and Mime Club (2. 3, 4); Library Council (4); Leader Board (3) ; Civic Committee (2) : Academic Committee (4) ; Senior Play Finance Committee: Varsity Basketball (2, 3. 4) ; Class Track (3) ; Class Day. Milly is an ardent athlete. Soccer, hockey, basketball—it’s all one to her, for she shines in all. Blue eyed, rosy-cheeked, smiling, quiet, Milly has gone through four eventful years and now she is about to rob the school of its warm and glowing “coles.' We’ll miss her! IRENE CURREN “For thou hast ever anszvered courteously.” Senior Soccer Team (4) ; Class Day Committee. Irene is known throughout the school as a rather quiet girl with a sweet mouth, a sweet disposition, and a very sweet smile. She and Betty Barrett have become twins although born to separate families. You remember the cute little cats on Senior Day? There is no doubt in the world that Irene will make an excellent teacher, for patience is one of her shining virtues. |241
