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.

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.

JOHN GILBERT IVINS This year Carteret's grounds were decorated by a firefred 1932 Chevrolet whose proud possessor, Jack Ivins, conf stantly proves that it has the durability of a jeep. Jack's happyfgoflucky attitude is characterized by his car's appearance. He previously attended Columbia High where he was a member of the swimming and track teams. This year he was the fearless goalie of Carteret's ice hockey team. We are hopeful that jack's good fortune-that of never having a dull moment-will be everlasting, Hockey 141, 'Track f41, Assistant junior Varsity Football Coach Q41. LEONARD DAVID JACOBS In the three years he has been with us, Len has earned for himself a very prominent place at Carteret. An excellent student, he enjoys the combination of high marks and an understanding with his teach' ers, to the envy of some of his less ambif tious classmates. In fact, one can even see Mr. Laity tentatively waiting for Len's af- firmation of the date of a naval battle or something similar. We all know that next year Len will really show them how to work at Yale. Honor Roll 121, High Honor Roll 13, 41, Rifle Club f31, Stage Crew 12, 3, 41, Photogf rar-by Editor Hilltoppe1 f41.
