CHARLES GALLIMORE Giggles The little boy that made good! Charles used to be that cute little tyke who slipped bashfullyaround the halls suck- ing his thumb. And then the cute little thing had to grow up. Now he is tall and straight and has gained his laurels on the basketball floor. But he was so cute and all the girls liked him so much. Of course, they still do, but just the same -why did he have to grow up? Basketball Squad, 4g Baseball Manager, 4g Geometry Club, 2. NANCY JANE GASS ll YI When one sees a small, curly haired girl tripping down the hall, one may be sure that it is Nancy. A smile and a cheery word from Nancy will brighten anyone's day. That same smile is without doubt the chief reason for her popu- larity. And such a small girl to attempt such a big job as cheer leading! But never the less, Nancy is always full of school spirit and ready to try to make the rest of the school have the same spirit as she has.

SIDN EY GLYNN l I 1 1 Sid is the man! And do the ladies go for him? Or should we say, does he go for the ladies? Well, in either case, he certainly is the perfect ladies' man. We wonder if he ever gets home early after school? We doubt it very much, because he's always loitering in the hallway talking to one girl or another. Nevertheless the boys all envy him and the girls? Y P ? P Football, 2, 3, 45 Baseball, 2, 3, 4g Interclass Basketball, 3, 4, Dra- matic Club, 3g Hi-Y, 4, Play Cast, 4. JOHN GODWIN Johnnie He's just a great big man from the South, minus the big cigah in his mouth. john knows all the answers and everything else besides. When Mr. Beery is at a loss for a witty remark, they are readily and willingly supplied by john. VVe hear his ambition is to be a jolly tar. Well, he's jolly enough now. All he has to do is to add the tar, and he'll be everything your little heart desires. THE RECORD 1 W r so ! 1 jj I 4 ,Jil f 19 1 ae ' l I 1 ,

CHARLES SUTTON ff Mike Here he is! Can we ever forget him? No! just think of a certain football game last season, and then visualize Sutton, tearing down the field for a touchdown. We were surprised, but imagine his amazement! We always thought of Charles as a woman-hater, but lately he has been vice- versa. We must admit he is pretty nearly the acme of masculinity. Football, 3, 4, Golf, 4. STANLEY SWIDERSKI usfanu Meet the barber! Stanley has already completed a course in barberingg and when he opens up his shop, ten or twenty years from now, no doubt his fellow classmates will be quite ready for a hair cut. Perhaps, if he's good enough, some of the fair sex will stop in to have their crowning glory retouched. He should be good in that line, as he is quiet and calm at all times. Nothing can ever seem to disturb him. He is usually in that unlively state known to us as a fog. All joking aside, though, Stanley is a good fellow. Perfect Attendance, 2, 3, 4. JANE TALTON If the saying, silence is golden, is true, we can assure you jane will receive more than her share of gold in the world. Although we don't see much of jane, when we do see her, she has a pleasant smile for everyone. jane cer- tainly was an asset to her class baseball team, because she always seemed to come through in a pinch.

He can always be found in the gym or on the athletic held playing with those big athletic bullies and worrying the onlookers for fear he'll get hurt. Although he does not hold any athletic records, he does hold a record to be proud of! Every football, baseball, and basketball game played by Merchantville during the past few seasons was bright- ened by the shining personality of Gerts. Basketball Manager, 4, Hi-Y, 25 Perfect Attendance, 2. CLARENCE M. GREAR, JR.. llcapli You've got to be a football hero to get along with the beautiful girls. Cappyy' is a football hero-and does he get along with the girls! Ask anyone. His big brown eyes, brown wavy hair, and muscular physique are just women bait. They can't resist him. Besides being a lover, he also shines in most of his studies. Go get him, girls. Cappyl' is popular with everyone, even the little tykesr down in the grade school hang on his coat tails. Football, 2, 3, 4, Hi-Y, 2. JEAN IIAGEMAN Cowboy Putt-putt-putt-putt. Vl'atch out! Here comes Hage- man on his two-bit motorcycle. He's probably trying to run the thing on water this time. If Merchantville is ever blown off the map, blame it on Hageman. He is one of our enthusiastic chemists who experiment in stinks and smells. W hen everyone else in the Chemistry lab is running to the windows gasping for air, Jean is bending over the desk enjoying the fragrant aroma. VIOLET HAIN ES uBarrH Here is Violet, an intelligent and clever girl. VVe expect some day to find her among the list of leading novelists or short story writers. Violet doesn't talk much, but when she does, it's a pleasure to listen. She and Irene find much to giggle at in English class, and with them to start it, the whole class is off. But if we all got the marks Violet does, we could teach the teachers. Salutatorian.
