FLORA EVERMENT “TOOTS” “Pep and fun and jollity, A happy personality.’' Here is a girl who is always in a hurry but finds plenty of time to do a favor for you. “Toots” has a jolly disposition and cheery way about her that is sure to keep her up in the big world outside. She has a flare for athletics and is interested in a number of worthwhile activities around the school. Here is a list to prove it: Girl Reserves, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Track; Forum, 3; Office Force, 4. FRANCES EVERMENT “FRANK” “Happy am I. from care I am free. 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. Inter-class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club, 1; Dramatic Club, 2; Spanish Club, 2, 3, 4; Girl Reserves, 2, 3, 4; Forum, 3, 4; Wearer of ’28. NATHAN FISHLER “NUT” “An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.” “Nut” is a quiet fellow, short in stature, but long on good nature. 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.

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.

ALONZO FREEMAN “W it and wisdom are born with a man.’' No person is more reserved about himself and his artistic talent than Alonzo. But we are often given the pleasure of his wit and subtle humor. His careful deliberation before attempting anything and the thoroughness with which he does it are two of his outstanding charateristics. With one touch of his pen we have—presto—a cartoon! If Alonzo doesn’t succeed as a cartbonist, no one else ever will. Hi-Y, 3, 4; Secretary and Treasurer, 4; Art Editor of Year Book, 4; Art Editor of Wampus, 4; Inter-class Football, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 3; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3. “VEE The noblest mind the best contentment has.” Viola has been prominent throughout her High School life, but this year she was especially active. As Editor of the Wampus, Viola has done a great deal in building up the school publication. However, this is but one of the many things she has done for the school. She is an untiring worker, but still has time for lighter things. She was chosen the most popular girl in the class and you will agree that it was a good choice. Championship Glee Club, 1; Secretary, Girls’ Reserve, 2; President, Girls’ Reserve, 3; Captain of Inter-class Basketball, I; Wampus, 2, 3, 4; Editor of Wampus, 4; Secretary, French Club, 3; President, French Club, 4; Senior Play, 4; Assistant Editor of Year Book, 4; Vice-President, Forum, 3, 4; Secretary of Class, 3; Second Debate Team, 3; Wearer of Gold B., Script B., Script B. H. S. and 1928. VIOLA GOERNER MILDRED GOULD “MILLIE” “ Work first and then rest.” The author of this bit of poetry must have had “Millie” in mind. Her efficiency in commercial work has placed her in the demand of teachers and students. Her unselfishness is evidenced by the liberal sacrifice of her time. Tidy, accurate, and trim, you will not be surprised to hear that “Millie” has been voted the neatest in the class. French Club, 2 and 3; Girl Reserves, 1, 2; Office Force, 4; Championship Glee Club, 1; Typist, Year Book, 4.
