William Berce - Willie We shall never forget Willie in Chemistry Lab. During his Senior year Bill was the cause of much anxiety (on our part) by his disregarding the law of self-preservation. However, if his future profession is not connected with a lab., we are confident that he will attain success and live to a ripe old age. Vice-president Freshman Class; Intramural Sports 2, 3; Football Squad 3; Track Squad 3; German Club, 2. Joan 3erhman Joan has certainly done her share in keeping up the reputation of the Berhmans. Known for their keen athletic ability, Joan is no exception. Joan s deftness has added to many victories for our class in girls' inter-class sports. To most of the class, she is a shy, quiet girl. We are told however, that she has a sense of humor. Dependability and hard work add to her success. Intramural sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2, Committee Work 2, 4; Service Club 4; Victory Berhaan V e always thought Victory just about the quietest girl in the senior class, out her friends claim that Babe is the jolliest of them all. Maybe she's just bashful. That shyness didn't keep her from making a name for herself in basketball, however. That she is a whiz at it is disputed by few. With those little fly-away bows in her brown curls and an engaging grin, she's danced her blithe way through four busy years. Intramural sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2; Wampus 4; Committee work 5, 4 • Ira Blacke Ira is one of the most indust-ous boys in the Senior class, in not only excelling in languages, but also the field of art. He is responsible for the attractive designs in our year book. Ira intends to continue his education in an institution of advanced learn ing. Fortune, Ira. Track Squad 2; Committee Work 4 Art Editor of Year Book 4; Spanish Club 4.

Alice Allen Alice’s quietness in class shows her calm, peaceable disposition, but it hides a grand accompaniment—genuine friendliness. A happy expression and welcoming smile have assured her popularity. To say that Mr. Cardinal ohose her as his secretary speaks well for her efficiency. She has that admirable habit, of taking her work seriously, doing it conscientiously, and finishing it well. Without Alice and all her endearing qualities, the class would be Just a little imperfect. Service Club 4. Harold Anderson - Halfie A good nature is Harold's No. one characteristic. Next to his excel lent disposition, Harold is noted for his long legs and arms, ideal for tennis. Last but not least, our tennis star is known for neatness, an essential for success. Intramural Basketball 1, Service Club 4. Marion Baillle Everything that can be said about Marion is complimentary. She hasn't been with us so terribly long, but her active interests, her good sportsmanship, and welcoming smile wouldn't allow her to remain long in the background . She looks demure and every month her name appears on the honor roll but her welcoming Hi, Toots dispels every fear of dignity. If she hadn't joined us, what would have ever done without her. Senior Flay; Wampus 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Yearbook Staff; Service Club 4; Council Member 4; Girls' Chorus 4; Library Staff 4. Anne Barnish Anne’s bright smile and orderly blonde hair are known all over the school. Her sunny disposition and grand sense of humor go hand in hand with her capability and efficiency. Impartiality cannot be practiced in Anne's case for sne's one of those exceptional people who combine grace and charm with sensibility, enjoyments and pleasure with industry. Once in a while a person comes along who sets a new standard and makes you feel that perfection has been almost reached. Anne is a fine nomination for that person.

Helen Blanchard - Buddy Everybody knows our Buddy, one of the outstanding members of our class. A high scholastic standing and a keen personality gives us Buddy. Her eagerness to help the class in its activities has added to its success. Where she finds time for all her work, la a question which would probably, give ua her key-word to success.

Alma Boccofogli Quiet? Not a bit, once you know her. In fact. Alma has one of the most active yens for excitement in or around Boonton High. She plans to be a doctor and a good one, too. Judging from her placid disposition, her efficiency and capability in all her school duties, we would all trust ourselves to her, unworried. We’re all for her. Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3; German Club 2; Committee Work 3, 4;Latin Club 4; Library Staff 4. Edward Bolcar - Ed How ah ya awl? No, this isn’t a southerner nor a westerner greeting you,but Just Ed Bolcar and his natural drawl. For Ed , eats come second to sports and we believe he’d sacrifice a meal for a game of basketball or baseball any day (or would he?We ask you.) Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Track Mgr. l;Assistant Football Mgr. 2. David Brocker - Dave The fact that appearances are deceiving is evidenced by Dave who, with his hunter’s and trapper’s clothes, his air of reckless abandon, and his spirit of revolt would lead one to believe that he is the Peck’s Bad Boy of the Senior Class. In spite of these seemingly roguish characteristics, Dave is possessed of the manners boulevardier, sincerity, of a companionship, and a high code of honor.
