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

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. Alison has made many a gloomy day bright and happy with her sweet smile. Although she is small of stature, she ig big of imagination. She surely shows this talent in writing short stories. Destination—Montclair Normal School. CLARA DI NN Senior Play. Social Committee. Oh! If something would only happen that I might Ha! Ha! Clara’s smile has won her many friends and among them a possessor of a FORI). She never worries that she will not get to her destination because Bus 71 always slows down when Clara passes. Clara delights in clearing her throat when Miss George scolds someone. Her imagination runs away with her at times. This huppened in third year English when describing a war dance, she said the French jieasants threw guillotines at each other. The faculty all agree that Clara loves apples. Destination—Famous Painter. VERA DI RLING Senior Play. “Everything is funny to me. Oh I love to laugh at everything!” Vera is one of our gigglers.

THE NUGGET THOMAS MANDEVILLE Basket Ball Team. Football Squad. Silence is Golden. Thomas Mandeville, one of the many (?) boys of the Senior Class, has made a great reputation for himself during his High School course. He is very fond of his teachers. Miss Schnirel. we believe, is his favorite for he spends an hour with her after school almost every night. He is very bashful most of the time, except when he is holding hands with a certain one of the fairer sex. One of Tom’s favorite tricks is to put a dead mouse in one of the girl’s books or down her back. JEANNETTE PADGETT “Silent Jeannette” Yes! Here she is! Our shy Jeannette with her raven black hair and rosy red cheeks. Although she does not |H)ssess the “gift of gab” that some of us have, she has won the love and friendship of her classmates and teachers. Highest Goal—Stenographer. PEARL RIC KER Captain of Class Basket Ball Character in Senior Play, Member of Social Committee. “Pearl of rare value.” Pearl is one of the star members of the Senior basket- ball team. Outside sports do not keep Pearl from reaching the high spots in lessons. Her good nature and her one hobby—the kiddies in the grades—have made Pearl the gem of our Senior Class. Destination—Montclair Normal. BEULAH SANDERS . “Trouble comes not alone.” Beulah is a good sjK rt as everyone will agree. She likes fun as much as the rest of us and is game for any mischief, but she’ll make up for this in the future, when she is the dignitied teacher she wishes to become. Destination—Montclair Normal. TERESA SISCO Teresa Sisco entered B. H. S. a very quiet little girl. But now, Oh my! Whenever we see Teresa she has those beloved Latin books. In fact Teresa talks about school and her books in her sleep. Teresa is one of those brilliant pupils in Mr. Dawson’s room, where she can work “Trig” and sell a pair of Emerson shoes at the same time. Teresa is going to be a school teacher. Almost any morning one may sec Mr. Walton take her by the hand and lead her to teach one of the grades. After a few years we shall set Teresa in Mr. Walton’s place. Eleven
