THE NUGGET JOSEPHINE KWEN Here’s Josephine! Her reputation is firmly estab- lished as the asker of '’foolish questions.” In one day, Goldberg could get enough suggestions from Josephine in this direction to last him an eternity. For the past two winters, Josephine has been quite “classy.” in attending one of the large New York high schools during the winter months, returning to us with the birds and flowers. On her return, we have never noticed any change in Josephine’s democratic treatment of her class-mates. DEACON” FOXIK” “Deac” has been a faithful member of the Class of ’19. and has always backed us up. Until this year he has been very quiet and true to his name. Now he seems to be developing more and more, and under the noisy tutoring of Clarence and Dick he is really becoming quite a boy. We all predict a pleasant future for him. Quiet, loyal, agreeable, dependable.- that’s Charlie Fox. Do you think he looks angry here? Mr. Storck, the photographer, said several times. “Don’t look so mat; don’t look so mat.” HELEN HUNTER Oh, see the dimple! What a big one in the chin! That’s Helen Hunter, whose eyes actually shine with “diviltry.” While Helen is medium in stature, and smaller than some of her classmates, draw no conclu- sions until you hear Helen’s voice. What she lacks in stature she makes up in voice. No one can laugh more loudly than Helen. A phonographic record of her laugh should be in the school museum. On rare occasions Helen may be caught studying. Her principal hobby is eating her lunch in the third period—not studying. That’s Helen. LENA KITCHEL Blue-eyed Lena Kitchel entered our midst almost four years ago. Very, very shy at first! But what a change! Today it is a neck-an-neck race between her and Therese for honors as greatest giggler in the class. All concede that she wins the medal as champion joke- maker of the Class of 1919. While this young lady has made many friends in High School, it is said that she has a wide circle of friends outside of school. Often Lena reaches school breathless because the time o’ day has passed so quickly that she has to make frantic efforts to avoid a tardy mark and the cold displeasure of Mr. Walton and Miss Maclean.

THE NUGGET GKOIUJIANA COATKS Let George” do it. Our Georgians has never failed us that is the reason why she is one of the most popular girls in the class. Her fondness for dancing and her skill in jazzing have made her and Leonard our Vernon and Mrs. Castle. Georgians is ambitious to become a druggist, and from the heated” interest she has taken in her chemistry experiments of late, it is probable that she will succeed. Her class-mates have been much perplexed by George’s trips to the cloak- room between clashes. It is noted that she always re-appears with a whitened expression, which cannot be accounted for. “DECK” Clarence Decker’s broad smile and broad back are famous, and his winning ways have made many friends for him throughout his High School career. The sunny smile and jovial manner have captivated one of the Juniors of the feminine sex so that C— and G— are almost inseparable. Clarence has had charge of the bells this year. At times the bells would fail to ring at the end of periods, often running even five minutes overtime. Faculty and students were much agitated and someone alleged that Clarence had forgotten to wind his Ingersoll wrist watch. Nay. nay! All were wrong. Clarence had lost all idea of time w'hile talking with an attractive Junior in the hall. Not only has Clarence not been satisfied with taking his own usual noon-hour walk, accompanied by a charming friend, but it is now rumored that he is guilty of leading another Senior astray along the same lines. Thus, two tardy marks instead of one were charged against the Senior Class. ELSIE PKPKW Elsie Depew is noted for her giggle, which is keyed in high G,” and which, like her whispering, can be heard at any hour of the day. But for all that, she is a jolly companion, as any one in the B. H. S. or Wyckoff will say. Elsie’s favorite study is English, and to her belongs the credit for the production of the class prophecy. ••ED” “DOW1K By his goggles you shall know him. Know whom? Why. Edwin Dow. most assuredly. While Ed took the managership of the Basketball Team apparently to relieve Brownie, we know that his pet hobby was seeing Marie safely home from the games. Though we must believe that Dowie was really ill. rumor has darkly hinted that his period of convalescence was prolonged that he might enjoy the goodies sent him by his many friends and the gentle ministrations of M-r-e. 9

THE NUGGET ELEANOR MEAD From the village of Riverdale comes Eleanor Mead, one of our classmates. Eleanor is in her glory if she can play basketball with “those Freshmen. If you want to see her in the next highest stage of glory, watch her as she dances the fox-trot to the tune of “Everything is Peaches Down in Georgia. For a long while Eleanor was undecided as to an occupation, hut now’ her future is real inspiring. She expects to he a school-teacher, and some day she will know the joys of disciplining an unruly mod of school kids. BESSIE PAYNE Oh, look who’s here! Our champion basketball player. You need not ask to whom we are referring. Bessie Payne, of course. Basketball is not her only hobby. At writing detective stories she is a peach. Do not be surprised if some day in the not far distant future, w’hile looking over a popular magazine, you see Bessie’s name at the top of the most thrilling “continued detec- tive story. Bess is wrell liked, not only by all her classmates, but also by the faculty and under-students, because she always has a pleasant word for everyone, and is willing to do her best in all school-activities. “RANDALL” “FAT A good all-round athlete is Harold Randall. In baseball he cannot be excelled and his songs have made him very popular with the boys. If there’s any fun to be had. Fat’s right there. He tried to raise a mustache, but we think he was disappointed in the rapidity of its growth, for one day Harold came to school with his handsome mustache shaved off. After that, for many days none of us ever looked at Harold without the sad realization that something was missing from the hand- some “phiz of our friend. MARION REILLY Oh! here’s the kid of the class. Marion Reilly, so “small but so divinely fair, joined our class at the beginning of our Senior year, coming to us from Pater- son High School. Marion is a fine basketball player, being forward on the class team. While she alw’ays has a pleasant smile for her classmates, her “come-hither smile is usually directed to the far corner. Marion possesses talent as an elocutionist and we have enjoyed her recitations in assembly. No Pequannock social or club dance is complete without her presence. 11
