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. Cross Country Team, 1; Inter-class Football, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Track, 3; Varsity Track, 3; Spanish Club, 3, 4.

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.

K hy aren’t they all contented like me?” “Always in a hurry, but with a smile for everyone,” characterizes Fiances. She filled a niche left for her in the Class of 1928, and as a member of the Girls’ Inter-class Basketball Team contributed materially to its success. She did so well that she was appointed Captain in her Senior year. “Frank” has loyally supported her class and has more than done her share of the work which falls to the lot of Senior girls.

When there’s work to be done “Nut” is there to help in his quiet manner. His tenacity has enabled him in spite of all setbacks, to graduate with the class of ’28. This perseverance and hard work will help in all problems he has to meet. Interclass Football, 1, 3; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2.
