HARRY BENDIAN The day is always his who works in it with sincerity. Harry was largely instrumental in bringing victory to Room 3, in the lnterclass Basketball Tournament. His one love is his Buick, which has be- come an indispensable part of his life. ROSE B IGLEY She smiles on you and life is fun. Every time the band strikes up an Irish tune, sure and ye'll find Rose out on the floor jigging away. Her pet di- version is driving around town in her Oldsmobile. RUTH BENESHEK Good nature and good sense must ever join. When Ruth arrives in the morning, she is usually worrying as to whether or not she is late, or else she's worry- ing as to whether her hair looks all right. ln the future, we can picture Ruth as an accountant, worrying whether her books are correct. MIRIAM BIHLING Sweet lady, smilest thou? There are smiles that make you happy -such as Miriam's whenever she sees you-provided of course, that she knows you. The girls often wonder where she gets her bright kerchiefs and most important of all, how she ever manages to keep them on. Thirteen ANNA BERG A maiden thoughtful and reserved in manner. Anna's seat in Room lO8 will never be occupied by a more silent or con- servative Senior B. Her quiet manner, however, can not possibly disguise her intelligence or common sense. HERMAN BISCHOFF But when he speaks, what diction flows. There are few activities in Emerson in which Herman has not participated. He is the man behind the scenes, constantly exerting his utmost to make ours a better school.

YOLAN DA ALTOBELLA Never a pretender, and willing in all undertakings. A giggling, talkative young lady who has the unusual virtue of laugh- ing ata joke whether it's funny or not. ?Nith this formula, she really enioys ife. '. iw EDWARD ANLIAN ln wit a man. Undoubtedly you've heard of his scientific trips to the wilds of Secaucus, but have you heard the results of the latest one? He did not find the rare specimen, but he did lose his overcoat, lunch and equipment. Did that dis- courage him? Judge for yourself-he's planning another for next week. , W i MURIEL ANDERSON A nymph, a naiad, or a grace. Mickey is a small edition of Eleanor Powell. Her blond hair and blue eyes have stopped more than one boy in his tracks, Mickey has a habit of giggling at a joke about five minutes after it has been told. JOHN APICELLA Does nothing in particular, and does it well. Pulling up in front of the school in a maroon l94O Pontiac Torpedo, is typical of John. When some mischiev- ous prank has been played, usually the source of trouble can be traced to him. Twelve OLGA ANDREAZZA The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid. The sweetest maid this side of heaven, fits Olga perfectly. Her twinkling eyes, and smiling counte- nance are a welcome sight for anyone. ALICE BAKALIAN Modesty a candle to thy merit, Alice is the treasurer of our class. When Alice asked us for class dues, her voice had such a persuasive charm that we didn't dream of refusing, but handed our nickels and dimes to her.

l lli YOLANDA BOEMO To think of you is sweet. Yo, as she is called by her close friends, is a picture of loveliness. The combination of her taunting smile and personality have made her quite a favorite of the graduating class. RALPH BUESING The answer to a maiden's prayer. Ralph is a student whose glance would melt any maiden's heart. He is the Clark Gable of the hallways, the Robert Taylor of the study hall. Be- sides these gifts of nature, he posses- ses the qualities of a good student. GEORGE BOLTE He does not kill himself with work. George is truly a great artist and cartoonist. His skill and originality in handling a drawing pencil will send him a long way. Immediately after graduation George intends to take to the wilds lNorth Branch, N. .l.l. ALFRED BURMAN Here is a gentleman. Alfred's smile makes up for his silent nature. He has quite a sense of humor and is able to take a joke. His favorite Dastime is photography. Fourteen MARIE BOUDEWYNS Vim, vigor and vitality. Marie's hobby is dancing. This Dutch miss always spends her lunch hour in the bank, dancing away to the radio's music. Needless to say, Marie contributed no end to make our last A, A. Show the huge success it was. RUSSELL BURNETT What men call galIantry. Gootch, a tall, lanky fellow, has been one of the outstanding players on our basketball team. lt has been largely through his efforts that Emerson has achieved its excellent standing.
