FLORENCE BOGARDUS “JANE” “Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's master piece is writing well. She is as fleet with her pen as with her tongue, in both poetry and prose. Have you ever .seen anyone with a bit of genius? Have you ever seen anyone with exceptional ability and a vivid imagination? Have you ever seen anyone with both of these? If you have, that’s our Florence. Art Club, 1; Debate Club, 2; Forum, 3, 4; French Club, 3, 4; S. R. C., 4; Wampus. 4; Senior play, 4; Latin Club, 4; Year Book Staff; Lincoln Medal. SAMUEL W. BROWN BROWNIE” “So much one man can do. That does both act and know. The class of ’28 would have a difficult time repaying Sam for his wonderful co-operation, which is a basic reason for each of our successes this year. The class has given him small enough honor as the class hustler, the most practical, the most versatile, and naturally the most popular figure in his class. Whether he was guarding the S. R. A. treasury, or writing an inspiring article for the Wampus, it can be said of him that he was, and always will be, one of those who gives his best to any task.

MARIAN BRUEN “PIP” “Infinite riches in a little room. Oh! quiet you say? Wrong. Ready to smile, quick to help, and always trying to see the bright side of life are a few of the reasons why Marian has been selected the most optimistic of our class. Pip has done her work faithfully and has therefore gained the distinction of having more academic credits than any other Senior. She may be little in stature, but she has a big group of friends.

JOHN ACKERMAN “ACKIE” “A buy’s will is the wind's will Anil the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” “Ackie” is one of our most athletic students, standing out especially in basketball and track. For three years he has been on the varsity basketball team. We always remember him as the one who makes all those neat, long-distance shots. “Ackie” safely led our class through the hard work and success of the Junior Year as the Junior Class president.

CHARLES BATEMAN “CHARLIE” “Nothing is more friendly to a man than a friend in need.” Charlie’s carefree, light-hearted laugh covers up all responsibilities that he takes upon himself. With the swing of a true director he conducted the High School in the debate songs this year. His untiring efforts in behalf of Boonton High School are readily realized when we say that he has led the cheering for two years and played in the orchestra for three. As stern Mr. Parcher in the Senior play, he let out his pent-up feelings with the slamming of anything within his reach.

MYRTLE BLOCK “MYRT” “A day for toil, an hour for sport, But for a friend life is too short.” Hey! Athletes, watch your step when “Myrt” gets going. She is one of our best basketball players— always in the right place. She not only fills this place on the squad but also among her classmates. During her four years with us she has been just the one to do little things for us. This year she has helped Mr. Boyer in the office, besides keeping up in her studies. Play the game of life as you have played it in High School and you are sure to win, Myrt. Office force, 4 ; Inter-class basketball, 1,2; Varsity basketball, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3; Inter-class track,

CECELIA CONN “CIEL “My soul is full oj whispered song.” Here is a girl who is vivacious, carefree, and full of fun. Her generous nature and happy smile make her everyone’s friend. Ciel has also proved herself a willing worker by her ever-ready assistance in serving the visiting teams. We will remember her as the “song bird of 104,” where she creates an atmosphere of jollity by her presence.

Chief among the ‘blessed three.’ ” The name “Bob” is synonymous with those of Ulf and Dean, for we never see one without the other two. The merry trio seems to have found much wit and fun in life, for they are always jolly and in a jesting mood. “Bob,” perhaps the quietest of the three, has a smile all his own. On the football field, he is hard to equal, levelheaded, and a steady player. When you don’t know where to find “Bob” next, just look out into the hall and you’ll see him parading up and down with his two pals. Football, 3, 4; Track, 2, 3, 4. JOHN CROWELL “CROWELL” “There's the humor of it. One who meets John for the first time is sure to be impressed by his good nature and nonchalance. Besides possesing a rare sense of humor, John has a hearty laugh which adds the final touch to his jest. We admire his unique taste in neckties and “automobiles.” His favorite diversions out of school are hunting and fishing.
