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.

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.

He plays on the var- sity five and goes in for track. One of his hobbies is the movies. jiggers would like to become an auto mechan- ic, and that's a splendid choice for any- one as capable as he. His ready smile and readier interest will win him scores of customers as they have won him scores of friends. IACK RUGGIERO Commercial jack Ruggiero is no longer our blush- ing farmer boy. He has outgrown much of his shyness though he still col- ors slightly whenever he is addressed by a fair damsel. He is always immaculate and it an-noys -him so much to have any- one muss his hair or pull his tie. He is going to college to major in secretarial science. We are certain he will be a success, for jack was always a conscien- tious worker, and one of our brightest '38-ers. jACOB H. RUDA General lack is not an enthusiastic believer of too much studying, he does what is necessary but finds time to take part in most of our school activities. jack is inclined to have a quick temper, never-the-less he has won many friends by his amiable nature and willingness to help. He very competently handles our slide and moving picture machine. jack expects to follow a career in the aeronautical field and hopes someday to become an engineer in this line. RUSSEL M. SABATINO Commercial Russ's infectious smile and agree- able personality place him in our mem- ory as a likeable classmate. His interests are varied and his favorite hobbies are taxidermy and aviation. Russ also en- joys taki-ng an active part in sports, es- pecially basketball and baseball. He keeps up in his studies and the teachers can depend on Russ's having his work done. If the door of business isn't open to him after he graduates, Russ will go into the mechanical field.
