Robert J. Goodwin To the casual observer Bob’s motto seems to be, Silence is Golden , and perhaps It Is. But believe us he certainly is a natural athlete. Agile, quick, and graceful, he can play any game well. He’s a fast and shifty runner, a good shot in basketball, and a slugger in base ball. He is always ready and willing to abide by the decision of the umpire and give his opponent the advantage. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4. Mildred A. Gordon Mildred is another one of our senior girls who believe that smiling is the best policy, and that smile is only one of the many symptoms of her unfailing optimism. She has kept herself in retirement for these past four years but lately she too has been making a bid for the limelight. Harry F. Helbig Harry is one of the Germantown boys and lives up to all that they stand for: fun, frolic, and foolery. His two outstanding possessions are his sorely-scratched Chevle and his much-abused good nature. Several of our school high steppers would feel themselves thoroughly stranded if his Chevle failed to run some Saturday night. Harry's popularity is eternally recorded on the battered speedometer of his flying vehicle.

Herrmann Throughout his four years of high school Rudy has consistently maintained the highest of scholastio records. He is a model of efficiency and takes advantage of every stray second to get some work accomplished. He is a fine musician and has been our school accompanist since his freshman year. Capable, wise, and willing, Rudy is the nearest thing to sophistication of whioh Boonton High School can boast.

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

Marion Hewitt Cinder and pep mixed with a generous portion of dignity seems to hit the nail on the head for Morion. She may be looked down upon, in respect to stature, but she is looked up to and admired for her initiative and progressiveness. Her clever bantering has been a constant source of amusement to her classmates but has not detracted from her sophistication. We are not boasting when we soy she combines intellectual ability with humor to make up one of the pleasantest personalities in our class. Latin Club 1; Committee Work 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play; Chorus 1, 2, 4; Librarian 4. Mary E. Hohenshilt What an irreplaceable gap there will be when our blond, curly-head Mary leaves us. She will never lack friends as long as she retains her friendly smile and her unsophisticated and amiable manner which have endeared her to us. Possessing so much animation it seems only natural that she should turn to cheerleading to express herself and it is needless to go into detail about the fine Job she did in that capacity. Her part in the senior play also aided no little in accentuating her typical characteristics. Intramural Sports 1, 2; Committee Work 1, 2; Cheer Leader 2, 3; Senior Play. C. Blair Hopkins Blair belongs to that group of persons who are Justly termed the strong and silent type. He has big muscular shoulders and a strong sturdy stature. He is at all times quiet and unobtrusive and is rarely known to speak. In class he is equally as silent as he is in social life, and he never causes the teachers any worry or trouble. Intramural 9ports 2, 3. Anita Hunniford Ho person who has met Blossom would ever be able to forget her; we know that our class never will. Her neat appearance, her modest and shy mien, and her courtesy to everyone has made her the class's most lovable girl. But her most striking characteristic is her blush. Anyone who has been in her classes or who knows her at all has seen it and has laughed at its seriousness. Blossom will never laok friends and her classmates wish her success In her future endeavors.
