His presidency has kept him busily occupied all year. How he has managed to be so good-natured through all the work is our No. I un- solved class mystery. What luck we've had to be blessed with a president like Tom! Mariorie Theresa Erlandsen VICE-PRESIDENT A full cl,l'.l'IH'cll1l'E' if given by lookin Marge is always buzzing around dear old M. H. S. busy with class and social affairs. Her term as class vice- president has been most successful. None of us will ever forget the beauty and realism of her part in the Senior Play. Mary, Queen of Scots, herself, might have been proud of her. Margaret Stewart Martin SECRETARY Bile off more llmn you can rlvew, and lben t'l7t'll' il Aristotle was noted as a walking encyclopedia, but he has a rival. Margaret hears all, knows all, and how that girl can talk. Margaret's sense of humor will carry her through life. As Assistant Editor of the ALEMBIC, Secre- tary of the Class, and as a chief promoter of the freshman initiation, her fame will linger in M. H. S.

She's managed to squeeze in time Qhow, we couldr1't sayj to be secretary of Blue Triangle. fPAGE TENJ George Elbert Allen, Ir. Like tl tall and .ffulely pine George is one of our tall boys, but that isn't the only reason we look up to him. Hi-Y is his old stamping ground, and he has been this year's president. He was president of the class back in those dark ages when we were juniors. In every class activity he is there with bells on. Paul Al Allocco He tbinkr befi' Cicefrf' Paul goes in for arguing in a big way. Morning, noon and night he's hard at it. He can always be found after school arguing with some teacher. Paul belongs to the Kiwanis juniors and is on its basketball team. He is also an excellent volley ball player, having starred against the faculty in that memorable championship game. Lydia Georgena Barker A I'igfl7'flIll' perimflality ir la be zlpjffulrdedu Anyone who will tackle the job of Property Manager for the Senior Play is a courageous and patriotic class- mate, so say we all, Anyone who will do as good work as Lydia did-well, words fail us. Lydia's work in sports fespecially basketballj, was, is, will be, tip-top. Lillian Augusta Barradale C1n'imiIy killed Ike 1111 Lolly is the busy lady who spends so much time en route to Miss Partridge's otiice, room 32, the nurse, and all points west. She is an enthusiastic golfer, and a good prospect for a nearby business school, we understand. We shall remember her by her unfailing politeness, her fren- zied concern over many thingsfand poppah! QPAGE ELEVEN1 I ames Albert Bartlett All quiel an lhe Barllell front jimmy is one of the most crowning examples of peace on earth we have ever seen. He is full of fun-we can tell it by the twinkle in his eye. He is one of our calm, collected sportsmen. Has been an active member of Hi-Y and a model member of the Service Squad. .t k i- , , Dons Lorratne Batatlle The eyes' have one language everywhere She has two passions- Jacky and the Chevrolet-and 5 t a yen for mussing up hair. She goes in for wise-cracks Q and teasing in a big way Qof course, we wouldn't mention Hirtingj. It's a gloomy day indeed when we find Doris blue. 'Her cherished ambition is to win the beauty con- test at Bertrand's Island. . Q 2 We i i t i t - ' Charles Edmund Bogert. Ir. All the u'arla .f a Huge What would Ed do without sports? Don't ask us! He has played in every athletic activity as far back as memory goes. Ed takes life easy, and snatches plenty of enjoy- ment between gulps of this thing called education. Goes in for stage work and has been an ellicient co-manager the past two years. Iohn Houghteling Bogert Our pnlieme will LlfhiE1'E more than our forte It is an accepted fact that strange things go on behind the scenes. But when Miss Hutchin's right hand man is in charge Qas he usually isj everything looks like velvet from across the foots. The Senior Play could never have managed without him. john managed the kid brother who co-managed the stage. EPAGE Twurvnj Florence Bozzi I fire my life Here she is, there she goes! She's a neat, trim, vivacious figure who has her own opinions, and isn't afraid to voice them. She left us for a while, but we Hatter ourselves she got lonesome. We can just see Florence fthe perfect secre- taryj telling the boss how to run the business. William Bower I tam rl fddlw' bold His violin and the junior Red Cross are the two Great Loves in His Life. We've had plenty of occasion to cheer both in the last four years. This year has found him treasurer of Hi-Y. Characterized by sincerity, considera- tion for others, and ever-present courtesy, Bill has made lasting friends for himself. Iohn Ioseph Bradshaw Life upon Ike dir1mw1d john attacks everything with a great deal of enthusiasm. Wlmenever there is a baseball game you will find him ready to join. He starts his training early in the spring at Ridgedale Avenue. And will we ever forget the day when he hit the home run against Chatham? john's ears are always pinned back for a good joke. xii y . 'A QQ A -1 Louis Edward Bundschuh gt QM' , I ruse in a pam! of order ' H2 I Louis hails from Brooklake Park. His hobby is joy- riding, and one is likely to find him traveling down Green- wood Avenue. Louis is one of our quietest Seniors until he goes into Parliamentary Law, and then he rises to a series of points of order, if you know what we mean. UJAGE TH1RT151zNj Ui' ai 'tt i Qi -. W ...

S., there's bound to be excitement. Teachers swear by him Qnot at himj. At the games George is always chasing around with a huge impressive notebook. Reason: managership of nearly every sport. And-we mustn't for- get to mention statistician Burniston's inimitable gift of gab. Marjorie Ruth Canfield Today we follow. lomorruw we lead Margie's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in the Senior Play will go down in history. She was more like Elizabeth than Elizabeth herself. She's regarded as a genuine all- around by our class. Her ambition is to be a kinder- garten teacher. Knowing Margie, we are certain of her success. Kenneth George Carpenter A man of ufyluirru Socially, scholastically, and athletically- Kennie, go to the head of the class. Matter of fact, he's been at the head of the class ever since we remember. Teachers think as much of him as we do Qand that's a recordj. His part as Gregory in Dorothy Vernon was extremely well done. Anita Bibianno Carrillo Be ever purp0.i'eful Time and tide wait for no man. Likewise, no woman. So we find Skippy, our trim young modern, rushing up and down our halls. We predict a business career for Anita, as she is especially adapted to cope with any kind of situa- tion in which she might find herself. fPAGE FOURTEENJ Ursula Kathryn Coakley She zzulki with bculllf' Ursula's most salient characteristics are her love of a good time and her marked artistic talent. As can be imagined, these qualities, together with her participation in hockey, soccer, and such activities as selling tickets of Paul Siple's lecture have quickly gained her widespread popu- larity in the two years she has been in M. H. S. Neil Iohn Cocino A fllll-lUI'ffllLf gwzilwzmrzu Neil's favorite subject is Study Hall, and his favorite pastime is raising Cain. Put the two together and you get a bird's-eye view of his education. Another one of these class arguers. We seem to have raised a bumper crop this year. Neil likes sports and hates homework. Anna Helene Condurso See lbwe dclllfillg fav! She loves to dance, and what a perfect dancer she is! Hair-dressing and athletics tie for second honors with her. She talks everlastingly, and without end in class. f Anna, the bell has rung. j Anna prides herself on her power of concentration-interrupt her when she's working and she'll jump down your throat. William Hunter Connon A-hauling will u'e go Where is our wandering Willie today? Out hunting in yon forests, methinks. Bill likes to study people, but since Homework should be abolished is his motto, we take it that studying books isn't quite so fascinating. With all his pleasing attributes, including his attractive blush, Bill ought to have nothing to worry about. fPAG12 FIFTIEENZI Lay' ,J lean Cuthbertson I ind enlerzainment in e1feryllaing Her chief characteristic is a fluffy blond topknot-her pet hate is the name jane Colbertsonf' One of our most friendly classmates, jean has been busy with her many asso- ciations. She was an untiring ticket captain, and worked hard on the property committee for the Senior Play. Who could refuse her big blue eyes? Dorothy Ann Daniels Cloud latte if the erfenre of exi.rlenre All through four years of high school we have found Dot busy holding offices. This year her popularity and her ability in every field of sports earned for her the position of president of the Girls' Athletic Association. She is also a member of Blue Triangle, Photography Club, and Senior Chorus. Catherine Elizabeth Detelica Virtue alone oulbuildf Ike pyramids We wonder what the fascination is about Bernardsville. Her favorite pastimes are dancing and movies. She is an outdoor girl, but why not? She expects to own a beauty shoppe some day, and we know that she can do nothing but succeed. Babe has a pleasing personality that cus- tomers will enjoy. Iames Philip Del Guidice My golf clubs ml! me When jim's absent from school on these lazy spring days we always wonder if the golf-bug's got him. We expect him to be a Bobby jones of the Class of '36. His looks and that permanent wave are famous. jimmy's our Prom chairman for this year, so we're looking forward to a grand Prom. fPAGE SIXTEENJ Anna Marie Della Russo If I had the u'il1g.u nf an angel She can always be seen typing or studying while in school, but after-school hours are reserved for the gayer moods. Anna loves music and dancing, and hates to- matoes fwe can't imagine whyj. Her ambition is to be somebody's stenog. We're all in love with her naturally wavy, black hair. Mary Maxine Deskovick Tu be rather fbrzn to ,FUUIIIH Give Mary a golf stick and she will be contented. Her greatest ambition is to be the golf champion of the world. Mary, although very quiet, has many friends. She has gentle ways and other ways, but she always has a way. One of her weaknesses is collecting pictures of motion picture stars. Hamilton Grinnell Disbrow, Ir. Hlr,l7dlL'I'E'l .I uwrtb doing ii worlb doing well Dizzy always has the appearance of the busy, efiicient, important executive, and that's just what he is. Nothing in the way of hard work ever daunts him. He was this year's football manager, treasurer to Hi-Y, and has serenely tackled one of the Alembic's hardest jobs, that of Business Manager, without blinking an eyelash. Lucille Marie Donovan See what you uwnl and go for il Small, but mighty, this young lady is dynamite when it comes to getting work done. With vigor and enthus- iasm, she blithely zipped off secretarial work for three or four faculty bosses this year. We positively believe that her motto is Leap before you look, so you can have a surprise when you land. Happy landings, Lucille! fPAGE SIEVENTIEENJ 3445721 'Q c1 ,,ll 5,0 '1 U' I 1 if -gl Margaret Frances Earley Give to llae world the ber! tba! you lure Our sport fiend. She has the broadest grin that ever was created-and when Earley gets her Irish up we have some real fun in the old town. She is always prancing around with a big roll of money in her pocket. We are desperate over her auburn curls. Some day her generosity will get the best of her. Doris Margaret Ellsworth Sfoe'.r ar pleamnl ar can be Who could fail to like a girl who is always ready with a smile? Doris came to us in her junior year and has proved herself a very good student. Her ambition is to teach kindergarten-and who could be better suited for it? She expects to attend normal school. Her favorite pastime is dancing. Albert Edward English Much mu!! be loil wbo .ferwei the Immortal Godin Silence is golden. All you who prattle of profound silence give ear-for Al is way ahead of us in learning this great lesson. Miss Brewster says he's the perfect secre- tary, and Miss Brewster, as usual, is IOOQQ correct. We, of the Class of '36, hail him as the perfect Alembic Copy Editor. Helen Elizabeth English I'll leafs my way Harough life lf talk were money, she'd be worth millions. Helen is one of our most talkative classmates, and is famed far and wide as the worst tease in the Class of '36. That winsome way will get her places. She'd be a smash hit in the field of oratory, if present indications are any sign. fPAor EIGHTEENI Emily Conway Erskine W'e have an uf-:iii in our midi! Here we find one of the most talented seniors of our class, a girl with a brush in her hands and a piano in the background. When we think of Emmy we conjure up visions of a sleek green roadster Qpackedj, snappy sports clothes, and poor penguins left out in the cold. Margaret Agnes Force Failure ii not in ber line Peggy has been prominent for four years in school af- fairs, but her Senior year has been brightest of all. Student Council representative for three years, Peggy served as vice-president this year. Blue Triangle has also found her an able vice-president. You can always find Peggy at Drew dances fshe goes in for higher educationj. Dorothy M. Gerhart A mind Ill!! to be flhlflgilf by plate or lime She possesses the unique reputation of willingly and gladly doing work that would daunt any of us ordinary mortals. Dot was our first representative to the junior Red Cross in Washington. She has been a leading sports woman for four years, and has been Literary Editor of the Alembic. She is headed for Connecticut College. Salvatore Edward Gero Patten him ax u nail in tl .rare p.',u'c If he were President of the Board of Education, school would be a picnic. His motto is Down with homeworkg up with holidays. Sports are his main interest in life Qif you disregard womenj. Sal played end on the foot- ball team, and was on the track team. Believes iooq, in kidding. LPAGE NINETIZENI .,HraW ' . -' It Nod SAAC - Zim S ,J V' r 2' s ,ff MLP' l f '--.. lkxa Q' ' . tfgggw .. ,,.f,,-: --i 5 . rite? MN--.., Antoinette Blanche Grancrta Opportunity ir llae measure of rerp0n.fibility We'll always picture Granny running frantically around with pencil and paper collecting Seniors' favorite sayings. The Senior Information committee is going to send her a medal, and so is the staff of L'Agenda. No kind of work has ever gotten the better of Granny. She always has one of those cute sayings on the tip of her tongue. Iosephine Hebard Fair and .rerene ir our jr1.replJine Dodie's been busily employed as editor of Senior In- formation fdigging up the dirtj. Late for everything, but always gets there just the same. Likes to talk, and knows what she's talking about, so we like to listen to her. Crazy about music, but heading for a secretarial college, and then music school. Anna Marie Hoffman And then .flue giggled She is always giggling. She loves to wear a little ribbon around her curly hair. Her favorite sports are hockey, football, dancing, and swimming. Marie's been with us only one year, but she's made that one count. She'll make an efficient secretary to some mean boss because she can take it. Go to it, Marie. Betty Lum House There ufar a little girl who had a lillle curl Betty's the girl you meet on the cafeteria-to-storeroom crossroad when you're making sixty down the upper East- West highway trying to get to homeroom after school. She looks at life calmly, and doesn't let anything get her down. Nursing is her final goal, and what a grand nurse she'll make! fPAGE TWENTYJ Leona Hasken Iames For the price of u'i.fdom if above f14bie.r Many true things are spoken in jest-probably that's why they're calling her Cleopatra. For who can deny that she possesses some of the charm of that great lady? We wonder why someone from Brooklyn visits her so often. Red is one of our outstanding athletes, and a Senior of whom we're all proud. Irene Adele Keck My own u'uy',r :be bell The little girl with the big heart-that's Kecky. Her pet delusion is that she is a woman of the world. fWe wouldn't contradict it for anything.j Sharing everything with everybody is her favorite pastime, and it has gained her friends galore. She gets a big kick out of teasing, and believes in doing just as she pleases. I ctnet Adele Keldie Lei me lizfe in a lsouxe by the Jide of the road, and be ta friend to D1'eu ' janet is a frequent visitor at Drew University, and there are rumors of conquests. However, she hasn't exactly deserted us altogether. She's been an invaluable member of all our activities. Most important of all was her part in the writing of the script for our nation-wide hook-up. Agnes Bernadette Kierncxn A reme of humor if u gift just a little sunbeam, that's Aggie. We never know exactly what she's about to do next, and it never fails to surprise us. The good old Kiernan humor usually has us in stitches. But Agnes is some worker, and the Senior Information committee stands ready to testify to that in the highest court of the land. IIPAGE TWENTX'-ONE1 9 b iff' 'Ji Iohn Francis Koplitz Tbere',r mzuir in the air How, oh how, will football ever manage to scrape along next year without Johnny's touchdowns! He has that rare and much-sought-after ability of being able to con- duct an orchestra. In a few years, we truly believe the world will be listening to johnny and his orchestra over the air. Katherine Merrill Lindsley A lady and a .l'L'h0ld1'H As a student and athlete Merrill rates high. As Dor- othy she was superb in the Senior Play. And what a President of Senior Blue Triangle she made! Merrill en- joys letters from a Midwestern city, and high school dances with a sandy-haired Senior. Success, Merrill, in the medi- cal career which you anticipate. ' I William Frey Livesey IU - Find .rome mixflaief lo be donef Bill will be there on the run Bill's charming grin and loving orbs have made him the Great Lover. QSee Freshmen Initiation and junior girls.j He is passionately fond of football, and is an excellent player. His fondness for sleep is gigantic. When he arrives at school, his first words are, What, late again? Elizabeth Mary Luken Lif1le, but-oh my! Betty has a superior intellect-we refer to her Latin marks. She has such a dignified air that to the uninitiated Algfr pranks and remarks come as something of a surprise. er chief characteristics are friendliness, a love for things xcultural fsuch as seeing operaj, and a mischievous bent. As for likes-what about Drew men with queer names? N fPAcsE TW!ENTY'TW'OjI Eleanor Tuttle Lum My fjllgallllll for tl Ilzlgu Horses, horses, crazy over horses. And over a certain horseback rider, too, if you ask us twhich nobody didj. Woolly knows her music too, and her compositions are not to be sneezed at. Her love of jokes and that picturesque vocabulary of hers have made her a popular member of our class. Iohn Preston Mailler, Ir. Yrm'1'e gal In be .1 foulfmll hero jack came back to us after a sophomore year at Storm King School. He has been one of our outstanding foot- ball players, so M. H. S. will miss his athletic ability, not to mention his reliable way of finishing work left undone by others. A certain junior girl may regret his leaving- Qthere seemed to be some uncertainty still when we went to pressj. Thomas McElrath, Ir.

Earl Condit Williams Lei dignily be the law of the land Still water runs deep. Though we're not given to quoting proverbs, we couldn't resist this one. It really fits.

Mgr Social Affairs The Senior Dance . Due to lack of funds, M. H. S. was faced with the situation of either having no dances or having them self-supporting. Well, the Seniors decided to take the plunge. The dance, which was a masquerade, was a success' both socially and linancially. The gym looked very enticing with cornstalks, leaves, and a very clever arrange- ment of a huge chandelier of balloons in the center. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment, which consisted of several dances by the pupils of jimmy Downing's Dancing School, and also a tap dance by Patty Coakley. The Iunior Dance The junior Dance is one of the events which made us look forward to the Christ- mas season. No one who went was disappointed, for the juniors put on a very good Christmas dance. , The gym took on a true Christmas spirit with a large, gaily-decorated tree in the center, along with other festive decorations. The musi dairiing was supplied by the Hotel Chris Orchestra. The Sopho--' e Dance p The Sophomor :ertainly made a 'success of their first attempt at putting on a dance. They also le out well on the financial end. Their dance th was given on the eve of Washington's Birthday, was a Leap Year dance. The decorations were in the spirit of the occasion, being attractively ar- ranged in red, white, and blue. For the entertainment jack O'Donnell was Master of Ceremonies, and we were entertained by a trio--joe Gallo, Warren Boin, and john Ryan, accompanied by john Fitzgerald. Everyone had a good time dancing to the music of Johnny Koplitz and his orchestra. CAF ETERIA Vifhat demons possessed the minds of those that built our beloved Alma Mater when they put cafeteria next to Study Hall? The torture of the ancients was child's play compared to this. Have you ever sat in one of those rooms adjacent to cafeteria fespecially Study Hallj during fourth period? The tantalizing odors of baking cake envelop the room like a soft and beautiful cloud. Students squirm and send agonized looks toward the stubborn, relentless timepiece. Some with vivid imaginations try to doublecross their stomachs by chewing paper. Oh, for. the blessed Liberty Bell! Then the sweet odor of pineapple wafts in on the breeze. Be still, my stomach! Mouths water, and eyes, too! Is there no escape? I wonder if a raid would be possible? Get thee behind me Satan, and don't push. I speculate on the advisability of taking a bite out of the desk. Clock says 11: 30. Move, you sap. Ah, they must be making choc- olate cake. Smell that chocolate! Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of Study Hall. IPAGE FORTY-TWO:l :ffl Msg IZATIGNS I Student Council PI'w'i:z'w1f - - - THOMAS MCELRATH, JR.
