Bingham Dickie is a Jovial and high spirited companion at any hour of the day or night, and moments spent In his presence are never dull.

Benjamin } Rodney has made himself quite an institu- tion around Boonton High School for his most realistic impersonations of that well-known comedian. Will Rogers. Our oral English classes would certainly have lost an immense amount of their tang and zip without his presence. He is a product of the open spaces and spends his tine near the trout streams and bass lakes. He also ranks next to Jack Brady as a whopper teller. Kamera Club 1; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3. Helen M.

Arthur Blanchard Jr. Champ is the biggest member of our class and is at his best when party to a heated argument. His humor and Individuality have made him well-liked by all those who know him, and a complete puzzle to those who don't. Beneath his towering dignity and reserve, there lies a warm understanding and a genial heart.

Howard Borgstrom The statement that appearances are deceiving might certainly apply to Howard. He speaks In a slow, drawling manner, yet so clear and logical are his statements that he never falls to clinch his argument or drive home his point. He never allows himself to become flustered or ruffled in any way, but Is always slow, certain and steady and has secured a stronghold on our admiration. Kamera Club 1; Intramural Sports 1; Service Club 3, 4; Committee Work 2. Lillian £. Bott Lillian comes from the wind-swept hills and dales of Rockaway Valley and her personality reflects her environment. She Is like a cooling breeze passing over our fervid brow. Although she Is quiet and reserved her cheerful personality has been felt by all. A neat and tidy appearance added to dignity go to make up a most delightful and valuable friend. Jack Brady Jackie Is the smallest member of our class but far from the quietest. His laughing blue eyes and good natured expression are ever present while frowns and scowls seec entirely left out of his make-up. Jack Is quite a fisherman and some Whopper teller. In fact we have yet to discover why one of those huge trout, of which he seems to catch such an abundance, does not open his mouth and swallow him.
