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.

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.

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

JANET BARRETT 120 CHESTNUT STREET Janet was one of the select few who had the tenacity of purpose to read Gone With the Wind to the very end. But her activities were not restricted to literary endeavors, as she was one of the social butterflies of the class, and her schedule was the envy of many of her classmates. This, combined with her smooth conversational powers, leads us to predict that she will, someday, be the society editor of a metropolitan newspaper. HARRY L. BATTEN M.uzL'roN, NEw JEnsEx' Harry was an ambitious little fellow and had a way with him which marle friends of everyone. His favorite pastime was hunting. From his police activi- ties in the upper hall during lunch hour, we think he would make a good traffic copg but he hopes to be an accountant, and as he knew his bookkeeping from A to Z, he should be a good one. ELLEN A. BELLA RARIT.AN AVENUE Arco, NEW JERSEY Ellen was an attractive young lady with pretty blue eyes, who always seemed to be happy and gay. She said studies were her principal worry, but this seemed to be true only before tests. Roller skating was her favorite diversion, particu- larly doing the Circle VValtz. Her future is shrouded in mystery, but we don't think it will be for long. Basketball C-U, Class Hockey ELIZABETH ANN BENNETT 953 S1'R.a'r1-'onn AVENUE VVESTMONT, NEW JERSEY Betty had the distinction of being a member of both the orchestra and Glee Club through all four years. Her contagious laugh and big blue eyes were two of her outstanding characteristics. Playing the piano and reading were the things which usually occupied her spare time. After graduation Betty hopes to enter Wheaton College to major in Bible study and music appreciation. Girl Reserves CU, Tri-Hi Q-Q, Orchestra fl, 2, 3, 41, Glee Club fl. Q, 3, 4-D. Page Sixteen
