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.

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.

LESTER PARTRIDGE JONES, JR. One of Carteret's own returned vet' erans, Les left school for the Coast Guard after completing his Junior year. A touch of sinus trouble this year forced the husky lad from repeating his sparkling perform' ance on the gridiron of two seasons back. Massachusetts born and bred, Les has in his voice a touch of the old Boston dialect which he has retained for the two and one half years he has called Maplewood his home. Nevertheless, we feel certain that this will not endanger his chances of matricu- lating in Wesleyan University next year. Honor Roll 141, Varsity Club 131, Vice' president 131, Art Director of School Play 131. EDWARD FREDERICK KAAS In Fred, Roseland has given Car' teret a swell guy. Although usually quiet, Fred comes through with a rib tickler when the time is right. As able manager of the football team in its undefeated year, he won great esteem. His interests lie not only in football and basketball but in the game sports, namely hunting and fishing and any' thing to do with either of these. Fred counts on Rutgers and the study of agriculture to occupy his next four years. Good luck at Rutgers and those future years of farming.
