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. Inter-class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Forum, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4. ROBERT CROTHAMEL “BOB” “Meek and I only, pure and holy. 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.

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. Editor of Year Book, 4 ; Dramatic Club, 1, 2 ; Interclass basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class football, 1, 3, 4; Hi-Y, 4; Student Council, 1, 2, 3, 4; S. R. A. Treasurer, 4; Senior Play; Glee Club. 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. French Club, 3; Latin Club, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 3.

PETER DeGELLEKE “PETE” I find you want me to furnish you with argument and intellect, too.” Pete is quiet until there is an argument afoot. Then he cannot be stopped until he has argued the matter inside out. He has a decided talent in the art of writing, although he is far too reticent to permit his ability to' be widely known. Pete’s retiring disposition offers a marked contrast to the loquacity of his inseparable companion, John Crowell. HAROLD DUFFIELD “DUFFY” “This is the thing I was born to do.” Boonton High’s galloping fullback is a favorite all over the school. He sails through his day in a “happy-go-lucky” way, taking knocks and boosts good-naturedly. It requires a good deal of retrospection to remember “Duffy” ruffled or angered. He is one of the riders of Tucker’s Ford, which transports our football players. He doesn’t talk about himself, but his deeds speak for him. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain, Baseball, 4; Football, 3, 4; Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4. JOHN EMERICK “JACK” “Delivers in such apt and gracious words That aged ears play truant at his tales. And younger hearers are quite ravished.” Never is Jack about without our knowing it. His two principal extracurricular activities are Track and the Spanish Club. He is the unofficial announcer of the club, for he never leaves anything unsaid. As a scene shifter and general utility man he showed real worth to his class.
