3 ' JOHN L. HANKINS uhlakeu ' Here's our quiet and dignified president. Jake has piloted our class skilfully through its last year. Withhim and his determined views, nothing went wrong. His school career followed that of a regular statesman. In his sopho- more year he was treasurer, in his junior year, vice-presi- dent, in his senior year he attained the greatest office of all -our president! Not only that, he was voted as our most popular boy. There, that's just a small idea of Jake and his abilities.

MARGUERITE HAYES Margie , This charming lass of the senior class of '35 has a very pleasing personality. She's sweet and gentle in her manner, and no matter with whom she seems to come in contact, she makes friends. She has a winning smile, which lights up her whole face when she hears something funny, and that's quite often. Her voice is very smooth and gentle, and can she sing? She's always gay, happy, and humming a tune. RECORD Staff, 43 Glee Club, 2, 3, 4, Operetta, 2, 35 Aerial Staff, 3, 4 ANNA M. HAYS Anna is one of the most reserved girls in our class. Small, quiet, and almost timid, she passes from class to class along with the rest of us. She never calls attention to herself, and one often wonders just what is under that dignified exterior which never is pierced. Her talents on the piano and guitar cannot be compared because none in our class has heard her play. A true little church mouse she is, as she faithfully does her part in our daily work. She will be the first bride of the class, for she is to marry soon after school closes. Interclass Volleyball, 4, French Club, 4. CONRAD HEADLEY uGeeZyru Not the big man from the South, but the big man from the West. Believe it or not, Geezy came from a ranch. Tall, blond, and handsome! Girls, what more could you ask for? And can that boy ride a motorcycle! Can a fish swim? He almost killed that poor machine, driving from his house-or from school-to the bakery on Center Street. Football, Varsity, 4, Monitor, 4.

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.

Q. IRQ., 1. Q o' fp li' - l I i a t PAUL HECK 4' Beech Don't rush, girls! Line forms on the right. The girls have to get in line to talk to Paul. He is that tall, hand- some blcnd with the expressive blue eyes, as the girls say. He is very extravagant with his compliments to the fair sex, calling them bright eyes, beautiful, and darling. Did you hear the one about-. Telling the latest joke is one of his remarkable abilities. Though most of his time is spent with the damsels, he uses his spare time to participate in many of the activities.

Laureate Society. CHARLES HENRY Smokey joe Everything is peaceful and quiet. Suddenly in the dis- tance is heard a low, scarcely audible rumbling. It grad- ually grows louder and louder, until it is deafening. The noise is unbearable. A siren-like screech pierces the air. Silence. Vi as it a cyclone? No. It was only Smokey joe Henry, arriving at school in his Buick. He says it's better to ride to school than to walk, but we doubt it. Besides driving to school, Charles also drives on the golf green with a marked degree of success. Golf Team. 3, 4, Geometry Club, 2, Orchestra, 2. ELIZABETH HERSCHEL ii Betty 1 1 Small, dark, and cute is a fitting description for this little senior. To her close friends she is known as the pos- sessor of unusual wit. This trait combined with her good- heartedness makes her very popular with her friends. She is always willing to help anyone in need and is the possessor of dependability and efficiency. Betty and her inseparable Flossie have been seen around the halls of M. H. S. ever since their acquaintance began. Play Committee, 3, 4, Dramatic Club, 3. ELBRIDGE E. HOFF ll YY Elbridge could be called an orator, debater, mountain- eer, Irish cop, or any other name one could think up, if one judged by his personality, his activities, and his play parts. But we'll just call him Elbridge who loves to argue. It doesn t matter to him with whom he argues, just let him go to it. He is a man of many talents. Everyone knows and likes him for his pleasant ways and willingness to be of assistance at any time.
