She has sung with the Glee Club and Chorus throughout high school. Kitty also played in the orchestra for three years. As a member of the G. A. A. she has been especially interested in sports, namely, basketball, baseball and hockey. Kitty, like her sister, Betty, will enter a hospital for nurses' training when she leaves school. Evelyn M. Honickel Business Evie I'll speak in a monstrous little voice Evelyn is looking forward to a business career and has been a helpful member of the office staff. The Chatter has also claimed her time as she has served as secretary. Quiet and friendly, she is an interested class member and a member of the History Committee. Outside of school, Ev belongs to the Young Peoples' group, and in her spare time studies an unusual hobby, advertising. rv Zona Horn New England Conservatory Zona, Those about her from her shall read the perfect ways of honor Who is the busiest girl in C. H. S.'! Zona, of course. She is an accomplished violinist who has played not only in our or- chestra, but also in the Summit Symphony Orchestra for the last three years. This year she plays in the Antonia Brico -Junior Symphony Orchestra in New York as well. Zona has twice represented C. H. S. in the All-State Orchestra, and she took first place in the state violin solo contest for '39, She has been a member of the Glee Club. Chorus, Chatter Board, Library Staff, Advisory Board, and the G. A. A. Yet, believe it or not. she finds time for hobbies on the side! These are art. horseback riding. and cello-playing. Genevieve J acobus Undecided Gene Those move easiest who have learned to dance Have you ever watched professional dancers performing and wished that you were one of them? Gene has done something about that desire, as we of Chatham High can bear witness. Her musical interest has come out in another form: a year well spent in the Glee Club and one in the A Cappella Choir. G. A. A. Of course. Gene was a member during her senior year. Heres something else. There's no need to keep it a secret- who would-Gene has been a member of the Sub-Deb Club. 10 Jeanie Barbara Judd Maryville Bobbie Her step is music, her voice is song Bobbie is one-half of that team, Judd and Burton, which is famous at C. H. S. for its dancing prowess. Barbara has belonged to the Dramatic Club, in which she served on the Make-up Committee, the G. A. A., the Choir, and the Glee Club for the past four years-not to mention her membership in the Sub-Deb Club. This year she has helped to edit This and That column in the Chatter. Robert Kerwin Business Spike He knows what is what rv Spike is another of the Senior boys who had an interest in sports during high school. He went out for several sports and was an enthusiastic member of the soccer team. Behind the counter at Chiefs, Spike has showed his prowess in the high art of soda-jerking. His pleasant smile is also an added lure to prospective customers, and we prophesy his success in all business ventures. Alexander Koukly St. John's College Alex Music is the universal language of mankind Few schools can boast as talented and well-trained a music- ian as Alex Koukly. Alex, as piano soloist for the May music festival in 1939, and as accompanist for the orchestra and Boys' Glee Club sets a high mark of proftticiency for high school pianists. Alex is also a co-partner of one dance band and plays with still another. In sports. he was the winner of the school ping-pong tournament in his Junior year and finalist on another occaion. His other interests are stamp collecting and photo- ZYHD Y- Joan Elizabeth Klocksin Nursing Joan It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends It has been said that all sport received J0an's attention. Her year as Captain of the Basketball team, her term as Hockey 'Manager, and her four-year membership in the G. A- A. Bilb- stantiate that well founded report. She has serenaded in Glee Club. bandaged the Red Cross. and-served in the Dramatic Club. Since its organization, she has been working on the Hot Dog Committee. We bet that the smell of Hot Franks will remind Joan of her last year here at C. H. S.

When the Dramatic Club necdcd some church windows, Clara produced them. Where was Clara? Oh, she was dawn-stairs painting the new scenery for the Dramatic Club. The G. A. A. wasn't neglected. either: Clara tried her hand in that organization. She is interested also in collecting stamps. Anybody want to trade some beauties? . Arthur Gentile Business Art Not afraid of work but not in sympathy with it Art has had a definite interest. in sports during high school. As one of the most outstanding athletes ot' C. H. S. he has won many prizes and letters, Included among these honors are a gold basketball for meritorious work on the basketball team. and a gold soccer ball and sweater for exceptionally distinguished service that has helped make the soccer team an outstanding one in the state. Art has also participated in Y. M. C. A. and I-Ii,Y activities. When he graduates he will enter the business world. Elizabeth Haley Undecided Betty As agreeable a companion as one could jtnd Betty, being musically inclined, belonged to the Glee Club. Choir. and the Orchestra during all four years. In addition. she was one of the All-State Chorus members in her senior year. Betty's other activities include the Girl Scouts in her freshman year, Dramatic Club in her Junior and Senior years, and Young People:-'s. Her hobbies are music and reading. She is especially interested in people. We think that her interest in peopie has been stimulated by her ability to get along with everyone. Aileen D. Hammond Overlook Training School Aileen She is pretty to walk with And witty to talk with And pleasant, too, to think on This attraction Senior came to us in her Junior year by way of Summit. While at Summit High School, she was a member of the dramatic club, the Glee Club. and the Blue Triangle. .In C. H. S. she joined our Glee Club and besides developed a special interest in photography. When Aileen graduates she will go in training to be, as we think, a successful nurse. 9 Always working with a will Never idle, never still, . ' When one sees the name of Beth Hanson in school reports. If IS llwariably among that small but choice company known as the Ijirst Honor Roll. In fact, she graduates first in the class and is a commencement speaker. Beth left our school at the end of the Eighth grade to attend Summit High School. For three years there, she was a member of the Honor Society and was active in the student council. Her cheerful but business-like etlicicncy as a typist has made her a welcome aid to the Chatter and to the faculty of C. H. S. Robert L. Headley Undecided Bob A man of mark, Wise to resolve, and patie-:it to perform Among the organizations of which Bob has been a member are the Pythias Hi-Y, Junior Hi-Y, and the Young Peoples. He is the secretary' of his Sunday School. Bob was also active in the B. A. A. t'or the last three years. His special interest Is baseball. He also played quite a bit of basketball during the noon period. He spends much of his spare time raising flowers, especially roses and chrysanthcmums. Photography is Bob's other hobby. Fred C. Herse Business Fred I dare do all that may become a mang Who dares do more is none Fred is the tall boy you have seen about the halls of C. H. S. or in the glee club and the A Cappella Choir. He has sung bass in these organizations for two years. For a hobby Fred has taken up photography, to which he enthusiastically' gives much of his time. Upon graduating, Fred is going to enter the business world. Ragnhild Beatrice Hjort Medical Center, Babies' Hospital Betty Let me say that she was fair If a calm and happy spirit contributes as much to the making of' a successful nurse as we think it does, Betty will do well in her chosen profession. In high school she participated in various school musical events as a member of' the Glce Club, choir, band. and orchestra. Betty and her twin sister, Kitty. are distinguished for their blonde hair, blue eyes, and musical ability.

Dorothy Thelma Major College D0t The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed If there had been a drawing club at C. H. S., Dot would have been one of its members.
