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

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.

Dan, who is co-captain of the rifle team, is considered to be a crack shot. His popularity is clearly shown by the fact that he was elected to serve two years as counselor at the Dormitory. Dan, who is a good student, expects to pursue his education to a higher degree at the University of Miami. Af- ter completing college he would like to enter the real-estate business. . Danny, who is a mild-mannered funny will go out of his way to assist you when- you need help. While he can not actively part in athletics, he always goes to all school games, whether it be baseball.

Basketball C3. 45. 1901 Q School 1951 LYNN WRIGHT Lynn, the flashing photographer of the senior class, is probably noted most for his subtle humor which he has the happy faculty of injecting into the flow of events at just the right moments. Somehow too, the money of our class always seems to drift in his direction, as he was elected Treasurer of the senior class. When not roaming the halls of Carteret, Lynn may be found residing in a cottage-type man- sion in Rumson, N. I. His means of 'transporta- tion has become a school sensation. lt's a small washing machine known as a Crosley. We shall never forget the time we crammed nine into it. It has 'been contended by those who are to do the contending that Lynn won't have much trouble getting into college, but he seems to have chosen one far from home, U. C. L. A. Could it be woman troubles at home that are sending him this great distance? On graduating from College, Lynn hopes to become an architect.
