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.

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.

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

James P. Garrison The most noticeable thing about Jimmie Is that he is never In a hurry. He is so quiet and calm that we doubt If there Is anything that could excite him. Too, we suspect that his favorite pastime Is sleeping! However, when Jimmie does play or work he does It well and he has shown his ability by participation In Intramural Sports. Intramural Sports 2; Committee Work 2. Joseph F. Gigliotti A combination of seriousness, gaiety, earn-estness, and diligence Is Joe. He is a faithful worker and has done more during the past four years for the betterment of his school than any one other person. He is almost the father of the Service Club and is a keen sponsor of all Intramural activities. He has always maintained a very high scholastic standing. Joe, we of the Year Book Staff thank you for your cheerful cooperation even though you were not able to be one of us.

Charles E. Gilmartin Chas is more retiring than his brother Tom and he also has different interests. He enjoys fishing, and living so near the reservoir, he does a lot of it and not always from the bridge, we’ll wager! He is an ardent quoits enthusiast and he and Herby Cantrell have many close and exciting contests with the ’’ringers falling thick and fast. Charles is always a good sport and ready and willing to do anything that the gang wants. Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys' Chorus 2, 3, 4. Thomas J. Gilmartin We used to have the impression that Tommy was a retiring sort of boy who sought solace in seclusion but we have been forced to change our opinion. He has become an active participant at all the school dances! Then too he also has been seen driving a delivery truck at a very speedy pace. His generosity and courtecusneas have attracted many friends to him. County Chorus 3; Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4. 1935
