Madeline Doremus Who is that well dressed very attractive girl whom we see in the company of Johanna Vor-werk so often? Why, it's no one but our KSadel-lne! She is shy and modest, but those two factors seem to fit right in with her nature and only serve to offset her quiet beauty. She is very agreeable and always cooperates with any class or school project that may be on hand. Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 2, Charles E. Drake ■The Baker's Broadcast may think that they have Joe Penner under contract, but we are inclined to doubt it. After listening on Sunday evenings to that well-known comedian, it is certainly startling to hear the same tones and inflections of ■Ooh, I didn't knoow thaat! floating down the halls on Monday morning. But that is Just Chick's most realistic impersonation. He is a boisterous, exuberant companion, but he ha6 also his serious side which he has shown to us by thoughtful and cooperative leadership as president of the Boys' Hi-Y. Intramural Sports 1, 3; Boys' Chorus 2, 3, 4; Committee Work 2, 3, 4; Service Club 4. Nicholas Drugac Nick is one of the Montvllle Tigers , (a ball team of no little renown), and he certainly lives up to their reputation. Whenever the word baseball is mentioned, we always think of Nick , who holds down that hottest of hot 89cks - third base on the high school ball team. He is a serious-looking boy, but we assure you that it is only a pose, for underneath he is Jammed full of win and vivacity which every now and then pop out in spite of his best efforts to retain a dignified appearance. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 3, 4. Elinor J. Edwards Long blond curls, usually held in check by a blue ribbon, a long gliding walk, and a peal of laughter that seems veritably to run right up the scale--that s the word picture that we associate with our popular companion, Elinor. She is a day dreamer, and we often see her with a vacant look in her clear, blue eyes and we imagine that she's building castles in the air. She also drives a car, and we would impart a word of warning to you, Elinor; don’t mix day dreaming with driving or something besides those air castles may tumble to the ground.

Idamay W. Demmers Here we have an artistic and dreamy type of girl, who has a variety of not unworthy acoom-plisl.ment8. She is known for her achievements in the musical field as organist and pianist and also enjoys singing. Idanay's scholastic ability is the envy of those less energetic and persevering than she. Glee Club 1, 2, 4; Latin Club 1, 2; French Club 3; County Chorus 2; Senior Play. Thomas L. Demouth Tom may appear to be quiet and retiring during school hours but, once outside the building he la a back-slapping, hair-mussing, handshaking demon; he almost seems to be a Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in this respect. He has an amiable disposition, is a good sport, a fine athlete, and is always ready to be a party on some boisterous spree. Intramural Sports 3, 4. Nelson C. Doland Upon the first glance it is easy to perceive that Nels is the kind of student who never falls to do his homework, who strives for perfection, and who works not because he has to but because he enjoys the thrill of accomplishment and loves to see a hard task commendably completed. He seeks neither seclusion nor attention, but is contented to associate with his own group of tried and true companions. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 2; Service Club 3, 4; Intramural Sports 4. Everett F. Doremus Brie is a problem to his teachers because, perhaps, his enthusiasm for forestry so greatly exceeds his interest in school work. His hobby is roaming through the woods and fields at unearthly hours. He does not hide himself, however, for with his ready wit and friendly humor he is a first class entertainer at parties. A lover of practical Jokery and crazy pranks is Evie. 1935

J Robert L. Eldridge Well-oombed hair, broad shoulders, and a sincere smile are the three moat striking characteristics that we see in Bob at a first glance. When we meet him In the hall he always greets us, not loudly, but in such a way that we feel that he really Is glad to see us, and we feel ourselves naturally drawn to his pleasing personality. He Is a good student and also a good athlete. Unfortunately he has not been able to gain distinction on school teams because he lives In one of Boonton's remote suburbs! Orchestra 1, 2; Vice-President of Class 1; Secretary of Class 3; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3; Track 2; (HR)2 2, 3; Service Club 4. Thelma A. Evans Although quiet and reserved we know Thelma has a fine sense of humor. She always appreciates the funny happenings that crop up during the day In class, and her laughter accentuates her merry features. Thelma makes a fine friend we are told. Edward P. Farrand If you like strength, both of character and body, persistency, generosity and kindliness, you'll like Ebby. He always dresses simply but neatly, and his blond hair Is never mussed. We wonder if It can be modesty or that brisk farm air that gives him suoh a rosy complexion. No one could help but like Ebby. He has captured a place In our memory that no other will ever fill. Student Council 3, 4; Intramural Sports 2, 3; German Club 3; Track 4; Year Book Staff 4; National Honor Society 4. Ruth Forsythe Quiet? No, that's Just because you don't know Ruth. When you first meet her, you encounter a friendly glance and an unassuming smile. Then association loosens all restraint and out pour her qualities of generosity and simplicity. She paid a great compliment to hsr Alma Mater by returning to B. H. S. after transferring to a New York school for one week. Ruth said Boonton High appealed to her so much that she couldn't be happy In any other. 1935
