ELAINE RUBY will be sorely missed in more than one phase of school activity. Her interest in various clubs is shown by her membership in the Public Speaking, Athletic, Dramatic, and Riding Clubs. Her journalistic service included work on the Vacuum Cleaner, and Malverne Flashes. Her work in athletics was always outstanding. Besides participating in hockey, volley ball, and baseball, Elaine was an important member of the varsity basketball team for three years. Her work as guard and her ability to diagnose plays were the cause of a multitude of oppo- nents' unscored points. Next year she plans to continue her athletic work at Savage College. Besides having an excellent athletic record, she possesses a charming personality and ability to succeed. JOSEPH RUSSO confined his activities in Malverne mainly to membership in various clubs. In his freshman year he was interested in sports and joined the Athletic Club, in which he remained two years. In his junior year he became a member of the Aviation Club, and in 1935, still seeking new worlds to conquer, he transferred once again. this time to the Science Club which is much more interest- ing to him than either of the other two. Joseplh is another member of the senior class who is enthralled by the study of chemistry. But he does not limit his experi- ments to school, having constructed a small laboratory in his home, from which emanate many noxious odors. After graduation Joe plans to major in chemistry in college. ROBERT SANDS is known by the majority of the students of Malverne High School as the most impetuous boy in the senior class. His two hobbies are sleep- ing and chess playing, and he does a great deal of both. But his true love is chess. Bob is an ardent and enthusiastic member of the chess team and was president of the Chess Clubg his one ambition is to own a solid ivory chess set. He eats, talks, and dreams chess and will play on the slightest provocation. However, his attenton has not been entirely riveted on his favorite hobby. Bob is an expert dancer, as many a young Malvernite will testlify. He has also taken time off to gain numerous honor certificates and to represent the senior class in intramurnl basketball. WILLIAM SCHLEGEL compiled an excellent record in his four years at Malverne. He not only led his fellow students in scholastic achievements, but was outstanding in extra-curricular activities, for both of which he was elected to the National Honor Society. He was president of his freshman class, a member of the Student Council during his freshman, sophomore, and junior years, and also a member of the Ath- lctic, Aviation, and Science Clubs. Ralph also received many honor certificates. Fe was captain of the Student Police and a member of the Activities Adv-isory Council this year. He also served on the Oracle', staff as assistant business manager and member of the advisory board. His ambition is to go to Cooper Union to pursue an electrical engineering course.

For four years he was a member of the Oracle staff, holding the important vplosition of Business Manager in. his senior Year. He is also interested in athletics and was a member of the 1935 base- ball team. With such service and activities to his credit, it is fitting that William Sly should have been elected to membership in the National Honor Society. EDWIN STALKER proved his ability as a tennis player in his junior year, when he played on our very successful tennis team, which won every contest. He received several honor certificates in his junior and senior years. Ed took active part in the Business Club in his freshman year, and in the Aviation Club in his junior year, and in his senior year was vice-president of the Science Club. In his junior and senior years he was on the baseball squad. Ed is ouite indefinite about his plans for the future but he has great hopes of going to college. We knofw, however, that whatever field Ed may enter, he will always be successful. 18
