JOHN WILLIAM HARDEBECK Jack, or Horse as he is known to his fellow students because of his size, came to us from Verona where he played foot' ball and baseball and was captain of the former in his senior year. Jack is a veteran of thirteen months in the Navy. While here at Carteret he played tackle on this year's undefeated football team and opposf ing linemen found it almost impossible to move him when he dug in with those size 13's which he laughingly refers to as his feet. Jack's school work is also Hue and he intends to further his education at Fordham. Varsity Club MJ, Football 145, Glee Club 143. WILLIAM ROGER HARPER A member of high standing on our growing list of dormitorians, Bill com' menced his studies at Carteret last fall after nearly a three-year lapse. Extending an ad' mirable record which he attained at Ridge' wood High into the Marine Corps, he was once reported killed. There must have been some sort of error in the report, for he is with us this year, both alive and kicking and on the honor roll to boot. With his subtle, Benchleyftype humor, Bill has been a welcome addition to the Senior Class and a fellow we are not likely to forget. Honor Roll f4J, Class Treasurer 145.

DAVID KINGSLEY HALL Dave belongs to the group of stu' dents who have come up from the lower grades at Carteret. He joined us in the first grade and has been an asset to the school ever since. His excellent play on the 1945' 46 basketball five and his marvelous fielding at shortstop in the spring has made him an outstanding boy at Carteret. Dave is greatly interested in Chemistry to which his class' mates will bear witness and this ability earned for him the science medal last year. We are certain that Dave's success will conf tinue during his days at Dartmouth.

EDWARD RUSSELL HAN DVILLE Ed is one of the exfG.l.'s in our Senior Class this year, having served seven' teen months with the Navy, part of which time was spent in Puerto Rico. Before en' tering Carteret, he was an outstanding per- former at Verona High School from which he graduated in 1945. Here at Carteret Ed became one of the best liked fellows in the class. A bad ankle injury kept him from finishing out the football season but we are sure that he will be successful athleticly. His academic average makes us confident that he will go far in this world.

GEORGE DOUGLAS HOFE, JR. When someone meets Doug for the first time, the person almost invariably makes some remark about the amazing ref semblance between Doug and Gene Kelly, of movie fame. But we don't think Gene Kelly ever worked as hard as Doug has labored to put this yearbook together. The success of this book is due largely to his untiring efforts. Doug always seems to be in a hurry, and is perhaps the sole member of our class who consistently wears a jacket and tie. Here's to that pilot's license and to success in college, Doug.

RICHARD APPLETON HOPKINS If one should look at Dick's record for the past four years he would notice his marks range between honors and high hon' ors. These haven't come easily and Dick is entitled to each one. This record would show also an interest in sports, particularly tennis. As to his wit, it's sharp enough to shave with as the class will verify. Dick has been the spark of the school orchestra for years with his pounding of the 88's, and it's mighty good pounding, too. Rich plans to go to Amherst and aims at Chemie cal Engineering. With a record like his it won't be long till we read of a famous chemical engineer by the name of R. A. Hopkins.
