John has contributed quite a bit to the Senior Class. He is a good dancer but seems to want to dance with one certain girl most of the time. john is very active in sports having served on the basketball team for four years and on the soccer team for two years. Johnny like other human beings has love affairs and troubles - lately mostly trouf bles. Among his many troubles right now is a fairfhaired lass by the name of june. Censors prevent us from printing her last name hut maybe you can guess that. lt's hard to tell what John's destination will beg but we're sure that whatever it will be, he will carry on just as he did for the Senior Class. He was everyone's friend and we hope hc has much success in life. MARY WINIFRED BLACKMAN I Woudn't Know Mary Glee Club, '393 Casts of Professor How Could You '40, That Crazy Smith Family '41, The Curse of the Crystal Ball '41, Danc- ing Club, '41, '42, Assistant Editor 1942 Delaware. Mary, may I use your algebra? uMary, did you finish your P. of D.? These are some of the remarks that may be heard in the Senior home room. Mary has proved to be an excel' lent student and has never lost her place on the honor roll. All work and no play would make Mary a dull girl, so Mary has usually been found at every basketball game. Although she did not participate, she was a loyal rooter. Mary has kept the loves of her life very quiet, but 1,111 sure she must have several tuck' ed away in her heart. Acting is not the least of Mary's achieve' ments. She's proved herself a wonderful grand' mother. Her name was found in the casts of Professor, How Could You! That Crazy Smith Family, and The 'Curse of the Crystal Ball. We feel sure that Mary will succeed in the future as she has in the past. lt's just a question of where she decides to attack with that intelligence quotient of hers. --- . -f-:.. - -'sa ,I 1- - I,-V lin?

VIVIAN NAOMI AUMICK Oh Sugar Viv Home Ee., '39, Checkers and Dominoes, '40g President of Music Club, '413 Basketball, '4lg Dancing Club, '42. A girl that rides and never walks A girl that smiles and very seldom talks. Thats our Vivian. She is the quietest girl in the Senior Class and that isnt saying too much in this class of ours. Viv is one of those quiet unassuming girls that is well liked by all her friends. ll you should see an long, black, sleek cur standing outside the school, you need not stop to wonder who the lucky girl is, for it's Viv. One would think Viv would have a long string of Romeos looking 'for a ride in that curg but somehow, she has shunned the local boys and a certain young fellow from Port lervis has been the one to get all the rides. For two years, Vivian cavortcd on the bas' ketbull court, but the Senior year found Viv among the rooters on the sidelines. Viv has her diamond and plans to get married soon after graduation. We want to wish you QAIJI the luck and happiness one person could possibly have in your years after M. H. S. GERALD WILLIAM BASHAM Dont Get prestidigitoriusn Gerry Treasurer of Class, '40, '41g Cast of That Crazy Smith Family '415 Dancing Club, '42g High School Band, '41, '42. Romeo, Romeo, where fore art thou Romeo? Here he is girls. Gerald Romeo Basham, the Shiek of the Senior Class. Gerry is a very willing worker, he al' ways has his studies, and will do anything you ask him to do. There is one catch though. You have to put a mild form of dynamite under him to get him started. He has had quite a bit of trouble making shorthand and typing agree with him, but finally they decided to get together and every- thing is just grand now. Like his brother, John, Gerry has trouble waking up in the morning in order to get to school before the last bell tolls. Honestly though he has made it at least 'five times. Gerry makes a very attractive A E3 P boy, but with his daydreaming we've seen him do in school we're sure he has a higher goal and with a little 0omph he'll make it with no trouble at all. 1. ,.ss..s,,, f' - - L.. ,., ESL' 931 11 a ' , ...f fn.

RUTH SHIRLE CHAMBERLAIN X VERNA BOND l..et's Not Fuss Verna Cast of That Crazy Smith Family ,413 Bas- ketball, '39, '40, '41g Captain, '42g Danc- ing Club, '41, '42g Sports reporter-High School Journal. Wzrtcli out for Bond is what opposing basketball teams always say. Verna has the repf utation ol being the best basketball player in M. H. S. She is our captain with four years ol experience. Her nickname, Hippy, is well deserved as any opponent can testify. She can clear a path across the court quicker than an Indian can blaze a trail. The basketball floor isnlt the only place where Verna shines. Her witty remarks bright' en up the dullest moments. A happyfgoflueky girl. Verna has a cheery greeting for everyone. This makes her popular with both girls and hoys, but when it comes to her romantic lille. Harold seems to have the inside track. Driving an ahsentfminded professor into proposing made Verna a hit in our junior play. Until then, we never suspected her of possessing acting ability, but we learned that we had been overflooking something. Verna hopes to become a second Florence Nightingale, With all her likable character' istics, how can she help but succeed? Something you 'et Ruthie Business Manager of Play, ,40, '41, '42g Secre- tary of Music Club, '41g Dancing Club, '41, '42g Staff of Journal, '42. The representation of Royalty in the Seniors is our own 'iLaCly Chamberlain, Mr. XVoodley's N. Y. A. student. The laboratory is where Ruth could be found before and after school hours. Ruth is a commercial student and we are sure she will make an excellent private secref tary 'lor someone. She is also excellent medif eine for T. W. A., especially when those planes Zoom through the air towards Connecticut where she has her eye set on a certain one. Upon entering the Senior home room one could hear, Mr. Krause, stop that! and Ruth is again arguing on some point, and when it is over the funny part is she never seems to lose but donlt quote us. Next year Ruth expects to go to Rider College' donlt crowd boys' to further her edu' cation. That is unless cupid or a joh come into view before then. Whatevcit comes up first, we know Ruth will take what comes along and he contented.
