ELIZABETH WILKINS ALLEN 117 EUCLID AVENUE Though she looked like the innocent flower, mischief hid itself behind those big blue eyes and blond hair. Betts helped to keep the class going through her innocent boners, chiefly in English class, though she did surprise us once or twice by giving the right answer. Her distinguishing features were a weakness for peppermint patties and the uncanny ability of always being late. As to her future, Betty is undecided. Hockey 12, SD, Glee Club EMILY ANDERSON KRESSON, NEW JERSEY Emily was a petite miss with big soulful brown eyes, dark wavy hair, and a rather shy smile. VVe often wondered whether P. L. was the subject of Em's meditations when she sat so pensively in class. Sewing was one of her favorite occupations in leisure moments. Emily's ambition is to become the private secretary of some big executive. THERESA ELSIE ANGELLO 29 COLONIAL AVENUE Tea was one of the more affable members of our class and was seldom seen without n. smile. Despite this fact, she had a serious air at times and was an excellent student. Her pleasing personality and long dark lashes proved very attractive, particularly to a young man named Earl. Terry was an inveterate movie fan, but her favorite pastimes were cooking and sewing. She should make a very efficient secretary. ELEANOR APPLEGATE 24 WTILKINS AVENUE Although rather quiet during her classes, El was one of the most enter- taining of companions during the lunch hour-when she took time off from munching on pretzels. Her hobbies were the collecting of souvenirs and photo- graphs. Eleanor had much interest in Tuckerton, but whether this is the key to her future or not we were unable to learn. Page Fourteen

The affairs of the year were carried on by the following officers: DAVID PETHERBRIDGE. . . ...... President JAMES BAKER ....... .... I f'ice-President Jnssin STRA'r'roN. . . ....... Secretary CLARA LEAFSTROM ............ . . . ............... Treasufrer Even though we took an active part in sports and musical organizations, our career as high school students still seemed uneventful. The outstanding event was the obtaining of our class rings. We were extremely proud of this band of gold which carried with it a permanent feeling. J UN IORS VVe took the position of upperclassmen with quite an air of dignity, and were soon definitely established to begin our first really active year. The following were elected to conduct the activities of the year: DAVID PETHERBRIDGE. . . ........ President EDW.ARD SHOCKLEY .... .... I 'Vice-Pres-iderzt JESSIE STRATTON. . . ..... Secretary CLARA LEAFSTROM .... . . . Treasurer A large number of our class members were on every varsity squad, particularly on the Championship Football Team. H The most important event of the year took place on lVIay Sth. Many uniors and seniors enjoyed the beautiful decorations and dancing to the lively music of the Warner-Haines Orchestra. The Prom was a financial as well as a social success. Our dramatic ability was displayed when we presented The Florist's Shopn on Dem- onstration Day. Our first project to obtain the necessary funds for the Washington trip was on June 5th. We had the Kay Brothers Circus, and it made our VVashington jaunt a closer reality. We took a profit from everything, even to those who crept under the tent or chiseled in. Our year had been a grand success, but it closed in sorrow, owing to the death of Helen Pfleger in the last week of school. SEN IORS At last We came to take our desired position in the su11. To continue' the success of our junior activities, we organized immediately, and the following insured us another Hne year: JACK FARQUHAR ..,. . ..,..... President KENNETH NEVIUS ...... .... I tice-President NIARY TVTACCLELLAND .... ...,... S ecretary CLARA LEAFSTROM ................ ............. T reasurer Being seniors, we had two questions in mind, VVill I be graduated in June? and Is the Washington trip a possibility? The first question depended on ourselves, but the second on our cooperation as a group. Just as soon as the fall sports programs opened, one witnessed the hustling of hot dogs cC071t1:71.110d on page 610 Page Thirteen

ALVA B. ATKINSON Msnuros, NEW JERSEY Alva was thought to be one of the more bashful and quiet members of our class, but, after seeing her perform on the skating rink at Watsontown with Herman, we are not so Sllre. NVe don't blame him for being attracted by those big blue eyes. The bane of Ackie's existence was taking gym. She was a good student, and intends to enter Peirce in the fall to continue her education. JAMES F. BAKER ' 111 Cmsws LANDING Ro.-in Tall, dark and handsome may be an overused phrase, but it fitted Jim. He was quite a lad-basketball star, actor, class officer, lady's man-and per- haps the laziest track manager in the history of the school. -limi' had high blonde pressure over a certain young weakness in Haddon Heights-but what a weakness! His ambition is to raise some sort of mild disturbance Knot exactly the term he usedj at Penn State before entering the real-estate business. Class Vice-President CQJ, Basketball fl, SJ, Varsity C-1-J, Quality Shed C4-J, Assistant Manager Track CSD, Manager f-10. HELEN ELIZABETH BARNARD 101 Enema AVENUE The sunshine of your smile .... must have been written for a girl like Betty, but they shouldn't have forgotten the dim ples. She was active in all class affairs, and we'll not soon forget her exclamations of disapproval in class meet- ings. Bett.y's H chief diversion was riding horseback. Her charming personality had a devastating effect on the opposite sex, but we were never quite sure who was the favored one. lVIay she carry that persuasive way with her into the classroom-yes, believe it or not, Betty lans to be a school teacher. Ring Committee 125, Glee Club QQ, 3, -ig, SHIELD Staff K4-D. GORDON HAINES BARRATT 312 YVAIZNUT STREET Gordon was one of our tallest. boys, with a rangy build and a tremendous stride that made those of us who attempted to keep step with him feel almost' Lilliputian. He said that sleep and a good hearty mealn were the things he liked best. Gordon's ability to repair motors and other mechanisms presages that he will probably enter that field after graduation.
