Audrey has a heart for everyone’s pleasure and joy. She’s sympathetic and sweet. We all admire her and know her to be one of our truest friends. GLADYS SBEA ThE “Glad” General Montclair ‘A merry heart lives forever” “Glad” is a snappy girl who is forever rushing somewhere to do something. She’s constantly busy and always cheery. “Glad” will find a bright place in the world for herself. DOROTHY BECK 0 D Voy f- Commercial Business “Laugh and the world laughs with you” “Dot” is one of Plainfield High’s quiet girls. She is not too quiet, but just enough to show that she is truly a student.

VIOLET BALL GW Commercial Business “The way to be happy is to make others happy” Gym Pageant 1, 3; Orchestra 3, 4; Glee Club 4.

WINIFRED BANKS “Winnie” General Elmira “So quiet, so unassuming is she” Hi Tri 3, 4; Track 3; Baseball 3; Tennis 3; Archery 3; Field Day 3; Student Patrol. My, oh my, is “Winnie” quiet? She is a quiet little lass.) And has she got power? Behind those dark eyes and sweet smile there is a darn fine kid. What about it 733? PEARL BARCLAY “Jap” Classical St. Augustine’s College “She has the truest, kindest heart” Baseball 3. Quiet attention and sincerity help to make up the real Pearl Barclay. She is so quiet that no one would suspect her pres- ence, but she’s certainly one fine girl. NORMAN BARNES “Norm” Scientific Undecided “Men of few words are the best men” Band 1, 2; Baseball 2; Glee Club 4; Base- ball 4. Norman is a quiet boy, but every one can see he’s an honest hard-working fellow. Keep it up, “Norm,” that’s the way great men live.

BLENDINGER Snitz Pred Scientific Aviation School ‘Well, well, young man; life is life; let’s live it” Bate Wines tae 40m Orchestra 35 4.0055: Swimming 3, 5. Another blower of the horn. Fred will probably start up one of those German bands we hear so much about. JOHN BOLTAS “Cholly” Commercial Ryder College “Whatsoever he doeth, ’tis done well’ John Boltas never has a care or worry. Easy come, easy go, is his motto. This is probably why he has won so many friends. 21
