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.

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.

THEODORE SCHUESSLER Around Carteret Ted is the sport of sports. He is not only adept at snagging passes and setting 'em up under the baskets, but never gripes or gets sore. His aimiable personality has made friends with all the guys at Carteret in the short time he has been with us. Along with other things, Ted takes his studies in his long stride and will have great success in Rutgers. When asked what he wants to be in this world he replies: . . Oh, I guess a fat General with a chest full of medals. V. Football C45: Baseball C455 Basketball C455 Glee . . . loyal, 7u7jkWa5nM JI Witaffllf This boys nickn uddy is ,very des criptive: his easy goin manner and willing- ness to lend a helping hand to anyone makes him everybody's buddy. He is welcome in any group: during a lull in the conversation he can always be relied upon to recount one of his Florida escapades. We are all grateiul to him for having settled the age-old dispute of whether a good big car can beat a good litle car, when, in his new Cadillac, he beat a rather boastful owner of a new Ford. Buddy will surely be welcomed with open arms by the students and faculty at the University of Miami, where he will prepare for a career of business. Yearbook Staff C4 5.
