RALPH M. BOCERTMAN It took Ralph to be one of the boys without being boister- ous. It tookRalph in tails. in sport clothes, to look like a page out of Esquire. It always took Ralph — and Ralph took us with his manliness, his poise, his savoir-faire. BERNARD A. BORESSOFF Onstage from Christo- pher Robin to Hamlet — Offstage from epi- grammatic repartee to profound dissertation his interests range from the most frivolous dance to an orderly management of Mont- clair ' s big affairs. Bernie spells ability, depth, versatility. LA CAMP ANA EDITH M. BRADLEY Generous is the word for Wegie — unless it be good-natured. Wegie likes everyone and ev- eryone like Wegie. She has maintained the high athletic standards that we have come to expect of math majors. Specifically, the picture we have of her is of an alert young woman rushing from the high school and laden with a heap of papers as high as the Tower of Pisa. WILLIAM A. F. BRAEM Bill can be characterized by the wonderful re- ports he makes in class. Scholarly — with an erudite interest in the details as well as an understanding knowledge of the large trends. Yet containing a dry wit that surprises and delights. Add to this his ability to talk en- thusiastically. JOSEPH J. BROWNSTEIN At 8:45 Joe rolls out of a rumble-seat. At 12:00 he reads his lunch and eats the New York Times. When does he acquire his broad knowledge? We don ' t know. When does he accomplish the executive work that charac- terizes him? We don ' t know. When is he an actively sympathetic and reliable friend? This we can answer proudly: Always! 29

' White ' Crier, ' 35, ' 36, ' 37 Girl ' s A. A., ' 35, ' 36, ' 37 o JEAN HELEN WOITE )NE of the contingent coming to the class in the tenth grade, Jean im- mediately settled down to her new life with a nonchalance which she has never lost. Always a willing worker and a never ending source of brilliant ideas, still she has, through all these years, never been able to catch on to any but the simplest jokes. This is very strange as she is the originator of some of the best humor the class has ever heard. Founder and head of the girls ' equestrain society, Three Women Off a Horse, she plans to repre- sent the U. S., in future years, on the Girls ' Cavalry Team. M. S. T. C. BAEIBAEA s» wnr]B]Ee] IIROBBIE (as she is known to the world at large), although not origin- ally a member of the class of ' 37, joined us in the ninth grade after skipping the eighth and leaving her class one jump behind. Their loss was our gain, for Bobbie has proved herself to be a welcome addition to the class of ' 37. Her witty remarks and ticklish sense of humor add spice to many a dull period. She is a staunch supporter of the Girl ' s A. A. and the Riding Club wherein she is known as one of the Three Women Off a Horse. Her laughing eyes and curly hair are the envy of all the gals. M. S.

La CAMPANULA - 1937 CLASS HISTOEY I N THE fall of ' 31, C. H. S. t hrew open its doors to welcome thirty boisterous youngsters who promptly filled the position of being just what seventh graders shouldn ' t be. Our entrance into the school was marked by that great event, The coming of Miss Grundy, she who is now our most valued possession. Well, we arrived, and lived constantly under the tor- menting fingers of our respected superiors, the eighth graders. It was not till after the Hallowe ' en Party, in which, by the way, we were forcefully driven to stick our hands into such things as raw eggs and take any number of beatings from our initiators, that we really broke loose and earned the title of The Animal Kingdom. There were few lessons to bother us this year, and the call of the wild often found us leaving by a window rather than the door. However we soon became recognizable as a class, and settled down to the task of presenting The Three Wishes, which, to our great delight, was enthusiastically received by the whole school. Hide and seek was our favorite game at this point, and one of us was always sure to be found lurking behind a door or in a closet. Spring arrived, and we went on a picnic to Klein ' s Cottages, where we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Came the vacation, and two months of rest for the worn out seventh grade. September arrived, and Merrily we rolled along back to our scholastic worries and the difficult job of being eighth graders. Five of our members had left us, and we were but twenty-five. Life in general was more complex this year: there was the seventh grade to initiate; there were lessons to be done, and there were dances! Oh, yes! We were really quite socially minded this year, and the evening dresses became a most essential part of each girl ' s wardrobe. However, with all our resemblance of maturity, we could not help but let loose a bit of our previous year ' s effervescence; and as a result, any number of chairs, windows, and desks were most brutally treated. It was during this year that we became acquainted with Mr. Mallory ' s home in Cobbleskill and graciously submitted to having our pictures taken for his new Geometry book. Time struggled onward, and by June we soberly realized that we no longer were infants, but had, at last, reached the point of entering high school. September found us a little more grown up and wearing the usual We ' re in high school now look. We lost three members but gained four new ones in the persons of PrisciUa Clark, Ella Muzzey, Bill Bell, and Graham Page Thirty
