IOHN PECORA Now here's a boy with a brilliant future, if futures can be determined by reviewing past merits. You see, Iohn is Editor-in-Chief of our Carteret newspaper, The Cavalier, and we are certainly proud of the articles he turns out-the form, the planning, the rewriting, and the many thankless jobs he so capably ex- ecutes. Iohn is head and shoulders above most students scholastically, and whatever he un- dertakes he accomplishes. Morever, one of the finest characteristics of a man we see in Iohn, his modesty. In order for anyone to head a group, he must have unusual qualities of lead- ership. Iohn has these, and is also diplomatic and unusually democratic. We who work with him enjoy his presence, his warmth, and his ready wit. His immediate goal is to enter Iohns Hop- kins University to study medicine. We are sure he will succeed in that ambition.

Otto's fine aca- demic achievements at Carteret and his re- putation as a go-getter will assure his success in the University of Pennsylvania, and will aid him greatly in his chosen career, the automo- bile business. Though he was an active partici- pant in various organizations, the position he held as Editor of the Hilltopper is his most out- standing achievement. He deserves much praise for having been the driving force behind the group of boys who put out our class year- book.

DOMINICK MAITA From the dark and dusky ridges of Has brouck Heights there speeds forth in the wee hours of the morning a green convertible Its half-awake and half-numb occupants number ing sometimes as many as five or SIX arrive at school and stumble in the door at the very sound of the bell. We are all quite sure that if Dom Maita wanted to sleep on the way the car would make it on its own. Some mornings we think it does. Dom, who has been with us for only a few years, has made many friends throughout the school with his carefree, easygoing manner When anyone needs a favor of any sort he does not hesitate to ask Dominick, for he is always eager to give someone a hand Dom held down the important spot of right guard on the football team this year, and we are confident he did much more than his share in accomplishing victories. Good luck in the future, Dom! Rifle Team CSD: Tennis CSD: I. V.

It is obvious that his classmates hold him in the highest regard. As proof of this statement we point to the fact that he was elected class President for two consecutive years. Though Ronnie is an honor student, there were some fellows who doubted his scholastic ability. Their doubts were dispellecl, however, when Ronnie read and wrote a book report on The Fairie Queen, a most difficult work. written in Arch- aic English. If Ronnie continues to do the fine work at Yale that he has done at Carteret, he will surely be tops in his future profession, which is engineering.

IOHN PAUL RUTTER lack, who hails from South Orange, has been a prominent and outstanding member of Carteret for eight long, and certainly profit- able, years. For through his fruitful efforts he has acquired much from them. lack is wellknown throughout the school for his enthusiastic participation in many of the school activities. There are not many that occur during the year without lack as a con- tributing factor. We feel sure that Mr. Barrett for years to come will thrill his pupils with tales of the fabulous lack Rutter, and his ac- complishments in the Spanish language. We all want to join together in wishing him much success at Colgate, and in all his future endeavors. Class President CU: I. V. Basketball CZD: I. V. Base- ball CZJ: I. V.

This sport should prove most valu- able to him in his chosen profession. He can persuade an associate to agree to his demands with a well-executed arm lock. The bird brain, as he is fondly called by his classmates, has the unique talent of reading English literature with various vocal inflections, thereby awaken- ing us to the dramatic force which lay dormant in that subject. Bruce will certainly be an as- set to Lehigh. Spanish Club CID: I. V. Basketball CZD: Honors C2. 3, 4D: Dramatics Club C4j: Tennis C4j: Vice Pres. CZD.
