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.

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.

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.

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.

Marion Burkhardt-”Burky” Looking over suoh a varied list of activities, we don’t know Just what to say about Marion----her talent ap- pears to run in all directions. She isn’t the least bit frightening, though, and is one of the friendliest and most approachable of our classmates. We know those who work with her in the future will appreciate her as we have• Committee Y ork 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2; Chorus 2, 3, 4; Library Staff 3, 4; V ampus Staff 4; Senior Play 4; French Club 4; Yearbook Staff 4; National Honor Society 4. Georgianna Busse Here is the smallest member of our best known trio; where you see the Berhman sisters, you can usually find Georgianna. Despite that diminutiveness, she has gone in for sports in a big way and ability conquered stature—she’s a star. Lots of fun to know and possessing those rollioking goggles which sets everyone else off, she has added a lot of spice to school activities. We think she’s one in a million”. Wampus 4; Intramural Sports 1, 4; Conmittee Work 4. Dolores Carey - ”Dottie” Dot tie is one of the most outstanding and popular girls of the senior class. She is very actiye in girls’ sports. A keen sense of humor and her helpfulness has made for her many friends. In the senior play, she played her part well and we are proud of her. Her committee work has helped to make many of our class projects successful.

Randall Catching - ”Randy” He entered our school as a junior, and in two years distinguished himself in studies and sports. In fact, it is rumored thet Einstein came to the U.S. to get our Randy’s” views on relativity and the fifth dimension. And say did you see him as ”George McIntyre” in our Senior Play? Not bad--------not half bad! By the way, watch him—he will 3ell you anything, if he wants to--he almost sold us California. Randy , we wish you all the luck in the world!
