THE PARTHENON 21 Garfola, Jerry—“Peg” General French 152 Seventh Avenue West Point “The dun deer’s hide, On fleeter limbs was never tied.” Little need be said about Jerry for we all know him, and lie certainly is a pleasant fellow to know. His record speaks for itself. Peg first won his “B in cross country and has since then been our most dependable sprinter. We all know of Jerry as the city champion sprinter. Besides the above activities lie was a member of the French Circle. Science Club, Italian Club (counselor). Rostrum. A. A.. Class Baseball. IB Reception Committee, Parthenon B ard. Beta Phi Alpha. Guss. Dohra—“Dohrs” C. P. French 483 So. 10th Street...............Columbia What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” Dohra is even more quiet and meek than the proverbial mouse. As soon as her work is done, she is gone and no one is the wiser. And yet she intends to go to Columbia. In our next report, I suppose we'll hear of Dohra making the Hockey team besides a lot of noise. She is a member of the Thalians, French Circle. Science Club. Girls’ League and the Commencement Committee. Hammond, John A.— John”...................Gen. Spanish 796 So. Orange Avc.....................

A. of course and served on the Acropolis board for '21. We all know, or rather, have heard John’s cornet in the orchestra, trying to drown the roar of the trombones and 1 understand he is also a member of the Glee Club. John worked for the success of the Senior Minstrel also. Hart. Gordon— Nut”.........................C. P. French 336 Parker Street .....................Rutgers “And wisely tell what hour of day.

20 THE PARTHENON English, Jean—“Bubbles”. . . Arts Course 21 Fabyan Place........................ Undecided “Wit, love, and beauty in her person shine.” Jean’s nickname is certainly appropriate as she is always bubbling over with some witty remark. Even when she is told by a teacher that she is due for detention on account of her eternal tardiness she is the same pleasant Jean. But we are sure it was not “Bubbles’” tardiness but her many loving characteristics which got her into the («iris' Patriotic League, IB Reception Committee, Alumnae Committee, 4A Entertainment Committee, Parthenon. Beta Pappa Phil and Sigma Chi. Fitzsimmons, Howard— Fitz”.. . General Spanish 1001 South Orange Avenue..............Undecided “His nature is too noble for the world.” “Fitz” is another one of our army of quiet boys. He is a prince of those who know him. Just ask his friends about him. Fritz” has centered his activities in the Ros- trum, Spanish Club. Science Club, and Radio Club. Fraser, Hugh— Bud”................ General Spanish 248 Clifton Avenue.........Brown University “He wears the rose of youth upon him.” We all know Hugh too, and we all like him. He is never known to frown. Hugh has been on the track team since 1919 and he played on the hockey team in 1920 and ’21 ’Varsity baseball is another one of Hugh’s successes. He belongs to the Science Club, the Radio Club and the Span- ish Club. The Commencement Committee gave Hugh a good opportunity to work off some of his energy. Frey, Eugene— Genie”...........................C. P. French 89 Third Avenue...................... Rutgers “Poor, poor lad, he seems overworked.” One of the great wonders of Barringer is to decide whether Genic” is going to cry or not when he flunks a test. He has what one calls a serious sense of humor. Anyhow he doesn’t lack school spirit because he belonged to the French Circle, Science Club. Radio Club. Senior Acropolis Board, 1 B Reception Committee and the 4A So- cial Committee.

22 THE PARTHENON Harris, Simon—“Si”. .C. P. Spanish Junior College The temple of our purest thoughts is—silence.” Wake up, “Si. Let us in on the secret. We know you have the ability ami we like to see you display it. Si' has finished his High School course in 3! g years. Some of his spare time was spent in the Glee Club and Spanish Club. Hass, Florence— Florence ........................C. P. German 496 South 17th Street.....Hunter College, N. Y. Life is not so short. But that there is always time for courtesy.” Our first impression of Florence was that she was quiet and studious. But now that we know her, the twinkle in those eyes means mischief. She is, however, a bright girl. She was active in the Thalians and is custodian. Some other of her activities arc IB Reception Committee, Motto Committee, Chairman of Commencement Committee, New- wark Day Committee, Politeness Campaign. Big Brother and Sister Movement, Acropolis and Parthenon. Hodson, Alice ......................... General Spanish 719 Clifton Avenue.............Secretarial Course The very room, coz she was in. Seemed warm from floor to ceilin’ ” Though Alice says she is going to take a secretarial course we think it better if she chose the stage, for she has shown ability as an actress in many of our school plays. Besides this she was a member of the Glee Club. Girl’s Diving Team, Spanish Club. Pegeant, Acropolis Board. 3A Social Com- mittee. IB Reception Committee, 4A Class Day, Girl’s League. Hopler, Almeda— Al.”.....................General French 192 Lincoln Avenue............Montclair Normal Happy am 1, from care I’m free. Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Almeda!—What is there to say about this bob-haired young lady? More than can be said just now. She has tried to follow the example of her friend, Ruth Soden, but has been unable to keep the pace. That is, once in a while she is in school on time.—perhaps by accident. She does, however, have good qualities and is very popular. IB En- tertainment Committee, Parthenon Board, Class Day Com- mittee, 4A Minstrel. Sigma Tau Alpha.
