LOUIS CHARLES WETZEL General Wetz hears all, sees all, but says nothing, so he has many friends who will last because of that wise belief. He is quiet but sincere and likes to have his work done well and on time. Al- though he is a conscientious student, Wetz likes to follow his hobbies, his favorites being boxing and football. Wetz's ambition is to become a New jersey State Trooper. lt will take time and hard work, but he has the patience as well as the will to succeed. I INM HENRY JOHN KESEAD Born-April Zl, l92l Died-February 7, l938 EMDRIAM ln memory of you who knew- The joy of being on this earth, The joy of having friends so true And the joy of loving, fun, and mirth- To you-so lively and so loyal So truthful and so sane, There's not a thing we wouldn't do, To have you back again. But now-you've left this troubled world For the land beyond the sun, And now your toil on earth is o'er, And your place and joy is won. We will miss you-our dear classmate, Of that there need be no doubt But in the Lord we place our trust As to those higher Hills you mount. 1. w. 30

KENNETH WEISERT General Ken has the heartiest laugh in the world and the tallest frame in the sen- ior class. When the seniors get togeth- er, one never misses seeing Ken among the horde. And how that lad can play the piano! He's going to give Eddie Duchin some serious competition. Need- less to say, music is Ken's hobby. Next year, he says, he intends to go to col- lege, but what courses he's going to take he failed to mention. Perhaps you'll start a band in college, Ken? MURRAY B. YACKNOWITZ Academic Yacko has a tall frame and a most engaging grin. And he's the best sport ever. What a fast game of varsity bas- ketball he plays, tool Oh, yes, Yacko is a swelegent fellow. Take it from us who know. His hobby is photography. Well, he always did have an eye for pretty girls and pretty girls make good subjects. Murray would like to be an electrical engineer, though. So, to make a pun, more power to you, Yackol MARCIA WILLIAMS Academic Marcy's auburn tresses set her apart from the crowd. Her attractive manner and infectious chuckle coupled with her talents give her a winsome personality, which has made her friends lwho really know and understand herl staunch ones. Marcia has taken part in various school activities - dramatics, as well as being literary editor on The Broadcaster and Tomahawk, Marcy has a remarkable flair for writing and as she expects to go to college to study journalism we are sure that this ability will take her places in her chosen field. MURIEL A. YESS Commercial Mickey, as many of her friends know her, has a sunny disposition and a generous nature. She acts as secre- tary to various faculty members and they all agree that she is a very capable young person. Mickey desires to be a secretary in some large concern, and we know she will succeed as she has the rare ability, not only of doing her work well, but doing it with a smile. Class of 1938

CLASS HISTORY jamesburg High School first received us in l934 as young and healthy Freshmen. We soon became used to the goings-ons and organized our class. We elected Virginia Hopkins as our class President, Robert johnson as Vice President, Vera Eler as Secretary and Stella Bierylo as Treasurer. Our only activity was a delightful play entitled Sauce for the Coslingsf' This was presented in assembly where the cast brought forth its unusual dramatic talent. On returning in i935 we became full-fledged Sophomores. Cone were all semblances of our Freshman days as we assumed a more sophisticated attitude. Duties again called for class officers so an election decided Robert johnson, President, George Gelber, Vice Presidentg Vera Eler, Secretary: David Rogers, Treasurer. We had gained a stronger footing and were granted a few -privileges. Among them was the be-nefit movie that we held successfully. We also held a special turkey raffle for Thanksgiving. The role of juniors was next in store for us and a most important one it was. Because of his extreme capability we maintained Robert johnson as President and newly elected Theodore Narozanick as Vice Presidentg Manuel Vlahikas as Secretary and Christina Paladino as Treasurer. In this year we received our high school rings, the last class to have our own choice of design. We were also privileged with the selling of candy at lunch hour and at athletic functions. During the course of the year we sold magazines and the success of our raffle in the Sophomore year was repeated in another turkey raffle. The most outstanding event was our junior and Senior Prom that bade farewell to our predecessors, the class of 1937. Then came our most important year of all, our Senior year. We began activities and at once held an election of officers. Robert johnson was again voted Presidentg Theodore Narazonick as Vice Presidentg Alice Soden as Secretary and Christina Paladino as Treasurer and Miss Elizabeth Casey, Class Adviser. ' Our first undertaking was a Hallowe'en Dance that turned out to be the most sensational success this High School has ever witnessed. One good dance deserves another so at Christmas we gave a dance in honor of the Yuletide season. At this time we also sold colorful Christmas cards and sponsored an amusing play entitled, Upon the Midnight Clear. Another sale of magazines was waged by the entire school. The purpose was to sell enough subscriptions to obtain a movie projector, free of cost. The sales were not plentiful enough to warrant our receiving the machine but the Seniors saved the day by donating the amount of money sufficient to fulfill remaining balance. As a result our school has enjoyed many movies. For the benefit of this yearbook a play entitled The Mummy and the Mumps was given. The cast was members of the staff, the majority were in the Senior class. The last year has been a busy one dramatically speaking and no sooner had the Tomahawk play been given than another began. This was our annual Senior play and was an amusing mystery drama called Tiger House. Each and every one of these events were leading to a glorious climax. That climax was the long awaited trip to Washington. Three full days were spent in viewing historic and municipal buildings of interest and two nights that revealed all the beauty of the capital's wonders. This was a most wonderful trip and left impressions that will someday make precious memories. Every climax leads to an end. So came our graduation and farewell affairs. We are still healthy but just a little older and perhaps wiser. This four year journey has ended all too soon but the students going forth are a living tribute to the memory of that journey. 31
