MILDRED L. GOULD “MILDRED L.” “Discretion of speech is more than eloquence.” A certain quiet dignity in her manner gives “Mildred L.” an air all her own. Her smooth, unruffled disposition is an inspiration to those of us who go madly around trying to hunt up an assignment or find a club meeting. We have never seen her excited. Her unassuming demeanor and stateliness have won for her the title of the most dignified member of the class of '28. Office Force, 4. MARIA HANLON “MOLLY” “Silence is golden.” Until this year Maria has kept herself in the background, but her hidden talents were certainly brought to light when the play “Seventeen” was put on. Maria as “Lola,” seemed to live the part, and she is still Lola to many of her classmates. Her gentle and demure manner, together with her generosity and friendliness, have won her a permanent place in our memory. French Club, 3; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Senior Play, 4. DAVIS HARBESON “BEEF” “ ’77s good to be merry and wise.” Isn’t it only natural that one of the best natured fellows of the class should be a Boy Scout? Every National Boy Scout Week found our “Beef” wearing his Scout suit to school in loyal support of his favorite outside activity. We still chuckle when we think of him as the humorous Genesis in “Seventeen.” He is still a devotee of Literature and he tells us he intends to become a journalist. We feel sure he can make good in that line as he has always been one of our best English students. Senior Play, 4; 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.

KATHERINE IIAVISER “KAY” “A little work, a little play. To keep us going day by day.” Here’s “Kay,” a girl who does things just a bit differently. She is quiet and somewhat retiring, but very individual. “Kay” may take her time about doing things, yet accomplishes what she sets out to do. She has a decided artistic talent and has helped us out many times with her posters. Year Book, 4; Latin Club, 4. DOROTHY HEADLEY “DOT” “Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart go together.” That’s “Dot.” Dorothy was with us during her Freshman and Sophomore years, but then she left us and went to Montclair. Boonton High called her back and now she is here to graduate with us. Her drawings have ranked her among the foremost artists of the school. Perseverance, coupled with her ability, will attain success for her. However, art is not her only interest. She is devoted to Girl Scouting as her numerous badges indicate. Art Club, 1; Inter-class Basketball, 4; Year Book Staff, 4. FRANK HEADLEY “RUNT” “Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings.” The man without a necktie! However, we know he has one saved for those rare occasions when the photographer barks “Smile”! Though “Runt” is the youngest in our class, he has always ranked among the highest in scholarship. Those who know Frank intimately appreciate his subtle humor and witty remarks. He is an enthusiastic devotee of our national pastime—baseball. Year Book Staff, 4.
