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

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. Latin Club 1, 2; Intramural Sports 2, 3; Committee Work 2, 3.

Kurt B. Frankc On Kurt wo place our bet for the senior class 8 moat successful artist. Through his four years he has been outstanding for his fine and funny cartoons, as well as for his drawing and sketching. To Kurt, the Wampus owes a great debt of gratitude for the unselfish efforts he expended on its behalf, and the year book staff takes this opportunity to thank him for all the work and advice that he so cheerfully contributed, and to wish him much success in the years to come. Intramural Sports 1, 3; German Club 3; Wampus Staff 3, 4; Art Editor year book staff 4. Alfred F. Fredricks A1 is a tall, modest boy who never forces himself on anybody but who always is willing to cooperate. He has been a regular figure in intramural sports and has also become one of the best pitchers of our school baseball team. Baseball 4. Margaret I. Freeman Dark hair, deep brown eyes, plus a lovely profile--that's the result of a first glance at Peg. To the casual observer she appears to be quite a serious young lady and perhaps she is, but she also possesses her lighter side which she never tries to conceal. She is undoubtedly the best actor in our class, and in her work is very creative and original. She also has a good voice and is a capable songster in the Glee Club. On you Peg we are placing the dramatic aspirations of the Class of '35 and we expect to see your name in lights before many years have elapsed. Intramural Sports 1; Latin Club 1; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; County Chorus 1, 2; Committee Work 2, 3, 4; Junior Play; Senior Play; Wampus 3; Librarian 4. Alfred W. Friedman Al's beat interests are in sports in which he has participated intramurally for the past four years. His ability as a banjo player went a long way in making the debate orchestra a success. Al's wide smile and despairing ways have greyed many a teacher's hair. His humor will undoubtedly make him many more friends during the course of his life.
