JOHN E. NACNODOVITZ Comm. lohn anticipates getting a position with Western Electric when his school days are over. He is often accused of being teacher's pet. The reason for that is probably because he is willing to help his instructors in every way that he can. Skating and baseball are his recreational activities and he has previously been on the baseball team. TERESA M. NOLAN Commercial ColIy is another nonchalant fellow. Nothing ever bothers her. We all get angry once in a while, but when Colly is around she intercedes and steps on our toes, thus keeping peace among the sen- iors. And isn't her accent grand? lt's a pleasure to hear the King's English instead of the usual slanguage. So now ColIy is headed for the business world. Her employer will think Heaven came calling when he finds what an efficient stenog he has. Class ol 1938 PHYLLIS F. OMAN Academic Phil came to us a shy little mouse- like individual, but we quickly brought her out of her shell. She surprised us all when she showed us how well and swiftly she could run at track meets. Phil is an excellent actress and artist. How clever she is at writing, tool She's Editor-in-Chief of the Broadcaster. With all these talents, Phil has chosen to venture into the vast field of cos- tume design. Perhaps she'll be an Amer- ican Schiaparelli. Who can tell? ANN ELIZABETH PALMER Academic High school teachers must have made quite an impression on Betty She in- tends to join their ranks when her schooling is complete. Knowing Betty as we do, we can be reasonably sure of her success in this field. Two essential characteristics to be found in teachers are the ability to render sound judgment and the willingness to help where help is needed. Betty has these and several other points as well.

HELEN M. MOORE General Helen is, indeed, an interesting girl. She has been with us, however, for only the last two years of high school. She is a member of both the Chemistry club and the Clee club. As a hobby, she de- signs and makes different styles of clothes. Congenial, attractive, she has many friends. A position as a clerk in a large department store is her present ambition. EVELYN M. MOUNT General Quiet, diminutive, and the like are apt words with which to describe Evvy, To go further, we might add that she is usually cheerful and is rather inclined to take life as it comes. The nursing profession appeals to her, but at present she is more interested in a job than in reading thermometers. She confesses that she likes to skate, but hurriedly adds that she is not a Sonja Henie. Jamesburg H. S. LAWRENCE MOORE Academic ln Creek we have the essence of success - vitality, ambition, a sense of humorg in him we find irrepressible joy of living, for C-reek has found that if you laugh, the world laughs with you but weep and you weep alone. ln him education will find our gift for Greek plans on majoring in History and English and then teaching those subjects in some high school. Keep that effervescence, Creek, and you'll travel. CATHERINE A, MULLER Comm. lndustry is one of Kay's outstand- ing characteristics. She is always busy, but every now and then, she finds time to burst forth with a contagious giggle that distinguishes her from anyone else. Kay intends to enter the business world as a stenographer, but we are skeptical of her aim for we are confident that she can easily make the grade of a Class A secretary.

Jamesburg l l. S. LOUIS IOHN PERDONI Commercial Another talented musician, a young man who blows the trumpet with plen- ty of pep, is Louis. Who can forget his rendition of The Sugar Blues? But he is also interested in sports and is a mem- ber of several clubs. Although he enjoys living and has a cheery smile, we found that he expects to make his way in busi- ness. But Louis, we are more apt to think that your place is in the musical sphere. ln either venture we wish you the best. EVELYN ANNE RATHEWITS Comm. Our very blonde Ev knows exactly what she wants and can always find a way of obtaining it. Beating around the bush just isn't her line. She wastes -no time in getting to the point. Such traits as these are desirable in a secretary, so Ev will, no doubt, make a good one. Her avocations are rather diversified. She swims, hikes, skates, or reads in her leisure time. ALEX PIORKOWSKI General Unassuming and modest, describes Porky to most of his classmates, who don't really know him, but in his own circle of friends he is described as friend- ly, easy to get along with and willing to take part in all of their pians. He is quite a talented saxophone player, but Porky's ambitions are not revolving around a musical career. On the con- trary he wants to gain a position in the government and has hopes of passing a civil service test, SOPHIE RAYM Academic in Sophie's viewpoint the world is a place for fun and frolic. The oddest things appear humorous to her. Of course, aside from being fun-loving, she can be thoughtful and serious. Others often seek her advice. A one-word def- inition of Sophie would be the word sensible A nurse, too, is always credited with being sensible. So con- nect the words-Sophie, sensible and nurse-in your mind for a mental picture of a thoroughly competent young girl.
