I OHN THORNTON During the school year Iohn has been un- animously recognized as one of the outstand- ing members of the senior class, even though it took quite a while for the rest of the school to learn to understand his Upper Montclair ac- cent and his brilliant but sometimes fiendish mind. We feel quite safe in saying that Mr. Schoenfeld would have appreciated Iohn's out- standing scientific ability more it he had come to class with a sponge in his mouth and his hands tied behind his back. For we feel that Iohn and Mr. Schoenfeld's arguments lwhich sometimes took up the whole period? on both Chemistry and Physics problems, as well as experiments, will ring through the halls of Carteret for eternity. We all wish the future engineer much luck and success at Princeton and in the years to come. Dramatics Club C3. 45: Rifle Team.

We are overawed by his tales of life in Montclair. He is a rather easy soul to spot in the cor- ridors. lust look down, and sure enough there's his beaming face. Although not very tall in physical stature, he stands high amongst his classmates in personality. Whenever we are feeling low, all we have to do is just listen to the tales of one of the parties at Steinmetz's. He has entered into the activities of school most wholeheartedly, and whenever something is being schemed you can usually count on loe to be in on it. The college of his choice is Dartmouth, and, after that, he is desirous of making headway in the business world. Glee Club ill: I. V.

But, as any one who knows him will tell you, most of his good will has been toward the op- posite sex. He has participated in numerous school activities and has been just about the most popular among us. When asked what his prime ambition in life is, he has commented that he wants to be a ranchero. He has a great urge to go into the poultry business on his father's ranch in Venezuela. Spider, as he is better known, may be seen in the spring rornping after a small ball on the tennis court. During the winter season, when weekends roll around, he leaves his habitat at the Carteret Dormitory and heads Montclair way. I wonder why? Hermes is desirous of going this summer to agricultural school in Michigan and then heading for those fetching senoritas back home. dentC ounc il CSD. ,mm .Em in M 0 WILLIAM WARD Bill is first and? foremost an artist, not at painting pictures but at playing Quarterback. None of the science of football has escaped him. Like magic Bill can hand-off the ball to three men: without looking, pass it over center: and run interference for the receiver with the power of the Marine he was once. But all this is' minor compared to his work in class. In geo- metry Bill solves problems Euclid stumbled over, and in Physics he claims to have dropped the apple on Newton's head. Because of Bill's many talents he will surely attain a good position in the field of Chemical Engineering after he achieves a great success at college. Football C4j: Baseball C41
