DONALD WALSH Although Don came to us with quite an athletic reputation, he never found the opportunity of show- ing his prowess. He was occupied driving one of the school buses during the afternoon when practice was taking place and therefore could not take part in the program. In Don is embodied all the humor of the Irish, and it is seldom that one catches him in a seri- ous mood. He is planning to attend The University of Scranton.

Rod will attend Yale and we are su-re his scholastic record will be a credit to that college. Tennis '42g Dramatic Club- '37, '38, '39, '40, '4lg Editor of Hilltoppcr '42. Page li

G. BRADFORD PALMER Brad is another fellow who has attended Carteret since the first grade. Ever since he has been here, he has made a fine record for himself. Not only has he excelled in his studies but also in the field of athletics. He has been, for the last couple of years, one of the star players on the football, hockey, and baseball teams. If anyone wants a speech made in assembly they invariably ask Brad for they know that he is capable of doing a good job. He has always wanted to go to Princeton to college and it looks now as if his wish will come true, but I am afraid that he will have to break down and get a crew cut like everyone else.

Van is one of those fellows who came to Carteret in an early grade and who have remained until their graduation. As President he has ably conducted the Senior Class and has, as captain, encouraged the present tennis team to play hard and to win. It is expected that Van, too, will honor Swarthmore Col- lege with his presence. Student Council '41-'42, Tennis Captain '429 Class President '41-,42. Page 14 E

ROBERT WISHNER All true Carteret basketball fans were certainly glad that Bob decided to take a P.G. this year, for he was captain and main stay of our highly success- ful squad. Perhaps his greatest virtue is his even temperedness, and this has often come in very handy for him. Bob is not decided whether to go to college or get a job next year, but we are sure that he will make out well in either field. Basketball '4034 l , '41-'42.

You better wake up, Start to shout with joy and sing, Spirits are sky high. Out to win, We'll take the humps right on the chin. Hearts are high, For there are just twelve reasons why we say- We're going to stop everything, Drop everything, For this a new day. Shout, shout, yell it aloud, We're a people mighty proud, We're out to stop this blundering, Start things thundering, For this a new day. The stars and stripes still shine, And our thoughts are clear in mind. Thei-e's your boy and there's my boy, Bet your life they're not afraid, To present their young dreams, As they march on, on, parade. You better wake up, On your toes and start to sing, Come on, join our line. Look up, for here they go, Twelve swell kids, Facing the foe. And they know, Just what to do, to this thing we call foe-- We're going to stop everything, Drop everything, For this a new day. Hi-yip-py, Hoo-ray, There's a new gang on the way. We're going to rise up and shine, Wise up and shine, For this our new day. We'll right every wrong, With the spirit of our song. It's your country and my country, And we're all mighty proud, That we have the free chance To shout and say it aloud. We're going to stop this blundering, Start things thundering, For this a great day, Nineteen Forty-Two, To-day.
