THE NUGGET “8XELLY” Paul Snel, otherwise Snelly. is one of our jolly classmates. Paul is always ready for a good time and a dance, especially if a little Sophomore is near. This classmate has made a reputation in the chemistry class by his fondness for laboratory days. Who is the leader in our school activities? Paul Snel, of course. Paul it fond of basketball, good at debating, and has been our cheer-leader this year. Don’t think because we have said nothing about school-work, Paul doesn’t shine there. He does! A LICK VAN OKU HOOK Alice Vanderhoof entered Butler High four years ago, and since then has won the friendship of all the members of the class. She has a thorough knowledge of her subjects, but, because of her shyness, hates to get up and recite. Alice has never been late at school during her four years, as she lives right opposite the school. As you come to know Alice well, you find she is a good scout. LEONAIU) VAN HORN “Len” is our tall and towering Senior. Dance? Well, I guess he can. If “Len ’ were invited to a dance on the other side of the continent, he’d journey from his “Old Newfoundland Hills” rather than forfeit the pleas- ure of a jazz. This classmate has been so busy talking during study periods that he has not found time left to win commencement honors. Can he talk? Oh. boy! Leave it to “Len.” MARIAN WHEELER Oood-hearted, sympathetic, motherly Marian Wheeler —what a warm place in our hearts is filled by this quiet and yet jovial girl, with her pretty big eyes that go so well with her big heart. The girls of the lower classes are particularly fond of Marian and may frequently be found clustered about her. It is hinted that Marian’s attractions are not appreci- ated solely by the girls, but that a certain young gentleman from Midvale has been captured. 13

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

THE NUGGET GLENNA WOOD III1 FF Here’s big Glenna, so dubbed by Dick Howe and Ed. Brown. Yes, Glenna is a bit husky, but no so much so as not to be mighty attractive. Tall, with light, curly hair, which glistens in the sunlight, Glenna is one of our “good-lookers.” Say basketball to Glenna and imme- diately you will see the otherwise rather sober, studious face brighten up with a winning smile, which changes Glenna’s expression entirely. Glenna is happy because “the joy of battle” is within her. Miss George once asked Irene, in Eng- lish class, “What was Darwin’s Theory?” Irene promptly answered. Everything tat goes up must come down.” ♦ While Miss Betts was correcting some Freshman Science papers the other day, she was surprised to read the following answer to the question, “What is a fly?”: A fly is a bird with six legs and a shell.” The Freshmen are rather famous for such answrers. Miss Maclean once asked a rather indolent young man just wrhy he came to school. The Freshie immediately replied, ’Cause I gotta.” One day Randall was, according to his custom, cutting up in English class and Miss George kindly requested him to take the seat at the front of the aisle. Where- upon Randall innocently asked, “Where shall I take it. Miss George?” 14
