THE NtflGET makjorik decker Every morning about ten minutes before nine you can see one of our classmates strolling up towards Butler. IVople often wonder who she is. Well, her name is Marjorie Decker. I think everyone will agree in the saying that her motto is Better late than never.” However, she is very studious and never careless in her work. Destination—Stenographer. GORDON DECKER “Soddie” Senior Play, Chairman of Social Committee, Business Mgr. of Nugget, Tract Team Manager, Treasurer of ('lass (2), (3), and (4). He is a very timid little hoy, found generally near the fountain up-stairs. Our hair has grown gray, wondering what magnetic force draws him there so frequently, but now it is all clear. Gordon is the humble servant and ardent admirer of a loving lady in the Sophomore ('lass. He was our “Matinee Hero” in our play The New Co-Ed”, and so has had experience in affairs with ladies.” ALISON DEPl’E Associate Editor of Year Book. Class Historian. “Happy, smiling all the day. How enviable is her way.” Oh, look who’s here! The Kid” of the class, who is liked not only by her class-mates, but also by the faculty and under-students.

T II E N I G G E T GRACE CARLYON Secretary of (Mass. () Grace, you, with the lovely hair, the adorable eyes in whose misty depths lurk worlds of meaning, the sweet ways, the refined tastes, and the studious nature! How can we help but love you? MARGARET CHAMBERLAIN This girl does not like to go home. Perhaps because Milton is too slow. And there are such exciting things which come. Especially from Neward, “Bill”, her beau. She is a very studious girl. We will have to give her credit for that. So, everyone of your school-mates Just to her .take off your hat. ETHEL ('OX Senior Play. On October 2. 1916, a nice little girl tripped over the sills and entered the B. H. S. to learn what fate had in store for her. She soon began to be one of those little busy bodies and one of the most important members of the class. Ethel’s only bad habit is that she was always playing the piano while we were having rehearsals for the “New Co-Ed”. AMY (RIM “The ‘crumb’ of the Class ’20.” Senior Play. Amy was a very quiet little “crumb’’ when she entered Butler High. But environment—for that it must be—has greatly changed our friend in the four years sin» has been with us. Amy is a good pal.

T II E N U G GET GERTRUDE GORRV “Gertie” Girls Basket Ball Team (3), Varsity Debating Team (4). Gertrude Gorry is one of the brightest members of the class of ’20 and is also a very attractive “girlie”. We can prove this is true by the fact that she has been able to attract the attention of “Tom” who is one of the most bash- ful Seniors in the world. He has been seen several times holding hands with her. Destination—Montclair Normal. GRACE HAYCOCK “There is much to be said on both sides.” Grace is everyone’s friend. She is neutral on all sub- jects. Especially is Grace acquainted with Kipling’s “If”. When asked by Miss George if we knew this poem. Grace was the first to reply with “If I sjioul die,” whereupon a stormy scene ensued as handkerchiefs flew from all direc- tions. We had not expected so sudden a departure. GLADYS JOHNSON Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Gladys followed the steps of her sisters before her and has therefore spent four long years of school life with us. At the basket ball games we would scarce be at home unless we saw Gladys romping with the ball. Yes. Gladys is popular and athletic ami is well liked in school and out hy both sexes. ANGELINE LEWIS Our “Angelic” Member. Angeline Lewis is the shortest and most “Angelic” member of (’lass 20. She was once a very active student in the commercial course, but something has changed her mind and she wants to be a school teacher instead. When asked by Miss Schnirel what her name was in Spanish she answered. “I don’t know. Angelic or something like that.” Well she lives up to her calling. I’m sure all her teachers will vouch for that. Destination—Uncertain. DOROTHY MANDE VILLE Very simple, very neat. Very quiet and so petite. Her eyes are blue, her smile is sweet. That’s our little Dot. Destination—A little homemaker. Ten
