A gay. pleasant girl is Helen, full of fun and bubbling over with things to do and say. DANIEL BORSICZKY “Danny” Scientific Indefinite Club Committee. Dan is our eminent Democrat. His lengthy oratory in P. A. D., which is broadened by his swallowing of a dictionary will probably lead to a seat in the Senate. WILLIAM J. BORSICZKY ‘Bill’’ General Undecided Bill is so blamed quiet we hardly know he’s here. I guess he can’t help it though, because he always has to listen to his neighbor’s noise. ) HERBERT aban BOS “Herb‘’ Scientific Rutgers Band 1, 2, 3, ire Herb steers clear of the women as much as he can. When one corners him and talks to him, he gets as red as a beet.

Alden belongs to the honorable group of studious people. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all learn to enjoy studying as much as he does? YETTA BROWN Secretarial Undecided Tennis 1; Basketball 2; Glee Club; Assembly Committee 4. These tall, dark, slender people are the ones we know very little about, but they tell us that “still waters run deep.”’ FRANCIS MICHAEIL BRUNETTI “Frank’’ Commercial Pace Institute Banking 1. As we tear Frank’s life apart, we find every time he cracks a joke he has to tell us when to laugh. Here’s hoping the Yanks come out second.

PHOEBE WITT BINGAMAN Classical Undecided Since Phoebe is undecided, we won- der if she is contemplating marriage. That wealthy Princetonian, you know. VICTOR BLASUCCI “Blaty, - Vics Scientific Undecided Vic is another of our school mu- sicians. If you haven't heard Blaty swing it on down, you don’t know what you are missing.

Cosar said he liked plump men, not men with ‘“‘a lean and hungry look.” DORIS LOIS CAREY “Dot” General B Lincoln Hospital Basketball 1, 2; Tennis 1, 2; Base- ball 1. Well, Dot, if you still want to go to Lincoln Hospital, you'll have more years of hard work. But we feel you will succeed. [ 23 ] KENNETH CARPENTER “Ken” General Academic Undecided Ken completes whatever he under- Sanne The supply room will miss im. BRUCE JOSEPH CARROLL Scientific Undecided Bruce is another quiet specimen pro- duced by P. H. S. Cupid’s arrows or his interest in lessons are the cause for this disposition.
