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

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.

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.

0 -, RYSSELL NELSON BENNETT ' KRESSON, NEW JERSEY Russ was a likeable chap, and, although somewhat retiring in class, elsewhere he was lively enough. He was an outdoors fellow, and hunting and fishing were his favorite sports, as well as the topics for endless stories. Despite the fact that around school Russ seemed to be a profound woman-hater, those who knew told a different story. MARY ELIZABETH BERRY 55 Glu. Roan Betty, was a carefree lass whose harum-scarum manner didn't prevent her from getting there when it came to studies. Her hobby was collecting souvenirs, autographs, and other curiositiesg but a certain sophomore lad came in for his share of attention, to say nothing of various Fortnightly activities. Betty plans to become a nurse. mee Club fa, ty, Tri-Hi go. RICHARD CURTIS BIEMILLER 107 VV.-KSHINGTON Avnzwrs Although this gay young blade distinguished himself in many ways, school work was not one of them-perhaps because he never bothered to do it. The dulcet tones of Dick's boyish soprano voice were most frequently employed to charm a young lady in Colonial Manor, but his little black book could tell of many other feminine conquests. Bie's aesthetic maneuvers on the dance floor were executed with an utter abandon that would have made Terpsichore himself pop with envy, but his poetic effusions were even more artistic. Dick will probably achieve fame as a radio gag man. Football CU, Class Basketball QQ, 35. ANNA M. BISIGNANO M1-ZDFORD, Nlsw JERSEY This striking little miss with the wavy black hair came tous from Moores- town in her sophomore year. She and Erma were not really twins, although everyone thought so. Curly had the two sterling qualities of patience and good humor, which should stand her in good stead when she enters her chosen profession of nursing. Page Serenleen
