Workirig after school curtailed his participation in school activities, however, he did find time to join the Sea Scouts and the Rifle Club. Bowling and hunting take up the rest of his spare time. After graduation, Johnny expects to attend Seton Hall College. Patricia Ann Davis The mirror of all courtesy. Patsy, that well-groomed girl with envied naturally curly hair, has upheld several of C.H.S.'s extra-activities. Among them are the Clvatt-er Board, choir, Press Club, Glee Club, and G.A.A., where she captained the senior hockey team. Besides all this Patsy is an honor student and a conscientious worker. Her ambition has always been to be an English teacher so next fall she will enter Trenton State Teachers' College. Roy MacGregor Dickinson What he undertakes to do, he does well. Because of his participation in so many activities plus his energe- tic personality, Roy is one of the most outstanding seniors. He played on the soccer team, was a member of the choir, Chatter Board, Advis- ory Board, and also was vice-president of his class when a freshman. He was president of the Dramatic Club and a leading performer in the Public Speaking class projects. Roy was in turn treasurer, vice-president and president of the Presbyterian Young People,s.

Mary Elizabeth Gavin Happy, thoughtful, kind, and true, there is no favor she will not do. Ga-ga is one of our many sports lovers, as can easily be seen when she dribbles a hockey ball or hits one of her famous home-runs. Her sewing ability is revealed by the numerous skirts and dresses s'he has made. A happy-go-lucky girl, Betty is never too busy to do someone a favor. With such a pleasing personality, we know Ga-ga will be very successful airline stewardess. Elaine Phyllis Gervase I f you would create something, you must be something. Coming to C.H.S. from Summit in her senior year, Elaine imme- diately participated in many school activities, notably the choir and the G.A.A. Originally she came from Illinois Where she sang with a school band. She is noted for her excellent art work-especially fashion designing. Because Elaine is interested in both singing and designing, she plans to go to art and music school after graduation. Richard Adam Gerwick By diffenent methods different men excel. Dick came to Chatham at the beginning o-f his junior year. We all feel that his coming here was Columbia Higlfs loss and Chatham Higlfs gain. He has taken a very active part in ice-hockey, baseball, and choir. Besides supporting these activities, he was a helpful participant on the Advisory Board. Upon graduation Dick plans to join the Marine Corps or else enter Rutgers to study chemistry. E Mary Louise Goett Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. As a result of her work in the Spanish club, Mary Lou has learned many Spanish songs, one of which she sang with great success for the seniors at their class party. She is also a participant in the G.A.A. Out- side of school she belongs to the Episcopal Young People's. Mary Lou intends to go to a secretarial school after which she will become a steno- grapher. . 4165
