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

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 “DOM No person ever bore a name that better fitted her character than Naomi. Like Naomi of old, she is loyal, gentle, courteous, and sympathetic. The laughing blue eyes and the sweet smile have made the day brighter loi- ns more than once. Always willing to assist in every school activity and always extending sympathy and help to those in distress, she has a warm place in our hearts. When it comes to basketball, a transformation takes place— now Naomi’s whole game is to “treat ’em rough.” Her solidity certainly is managed in such a way as to shock her opponents. “Dirk” Here is our “stand-by” in athletics for the past two years. We shall never forget our introduction to the worthy president of the class. The pupils in Miss Perkins’ room were startled by the appearance of a new- comer. This new-comer proved to be no one else but little Dick Howe. The first impression that he was bashful, changed before many weeks. During his High School career Dick has had many romances. His first attentions were paid to freshman and sophomore maids, but now he has reached the higher stage in his aspira- tions. Dick’s greatest hobby is athletics, which in some mysterious way frequently makes him late for classes. How unfortunate that Dick can’t take a course in physical training alone! THEKHSE SAMPSON Here she is! Who? Therese Sampson, the biggest giggler of the Senior Class of 1919. the inseparable com- panion of Elsie DePuy. While we are proud of this classmate with her dark hair and blue eyes, none of us is prouder of these attractions than their proud pos- sessor. Therese's greatest pleasure in life is going to dances over in Mendham. MABEL SMITH There is a clitter-clatter of voices and Miss Decker opens the typewriting room door. “This talking must cease,” is her stern remark. Of course, Mabel is talking again. That’s what she is almost always doing. Talking! That’s Mabel all over. Mabel is more often out of her classroom than in. She loves the atmosphere of the upper hall, presumably. But. with all her faults, she may some day become a first-class Parisian modiste, for Mabel makes her own clothes even now. However, she’s a good sport, as her classmates all avow. 12
