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.

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?

ALTEO COLAIACO You ain't kiddin ' Al Cast of That Crazy Smith Family, ,415 Stage Manager, Curse of the Crystal Ball ,4lg Dancing Club, '42g Art Work on the H. S. Journal. Ah! Here he is, girls, the curly headed Romeo of the Senior Class fand what a Romeolj He is the youngest member of our class, but is far from the smallest. He has a physique that would get him on any athletic team, but but it has never been his desire to partake in sports, nevertheless he can be seen watching all the sports. Yots is ever present at our Friday night dances and dancing with his fliayejvorite with a ham fBergerj in his arms seems to be hi: most enjoyable recreation. William Moon has been Yots ' faithful sidefkick ever since that first day, twelve years ago. He has never mentioned his ambitions to us, but we are sure that with his good looks and personality, he is bound to succeed. JUNE ADAIR COLE Oh! For Pete's Sake 4Chatter,' Casts of The Curse of the Crystal Ball ,42, The Crazy Smith Family ,415 Business Manager of Play, '405 Dancing Club, '40, '41, '425 Staff of M. H. S. Journal, '42. Hifyafkid. Thatis right, Z0 to 1, june is in the vicinity. june is our speed typist and excels also in shorthand. She'll probably end up sitting on Baldy's lap, Qtaking dictaf tionj. Although Chatter could talk the ear off anyone, she is modest and well behaved, She has proved herself capable as an actor in leading roles in two of our plays. June is too small and tender for ath' letics. She's most always willing to try any' thing once. This can best be proved by her romance with one Baldy' and more recently, Binx . We can safely say that many others will join the ranks of those who have tried and failed to win this lady's heart. Naturally june wishes to be a secretary and a good one she will make. Iune will not be forgotten for she is to the Senior Class as Ba1dy' is to her. A peculiar ability that June has, is being able to mix business and pleasure and still come out ahead of the game.
