GERTRUDE BLACK Trudy A sunny smile, a nice disposition, a dash of common sense, blazing red hair, and there we have Gertrude. Her funny little giggle is frequently heard in Book- keeping lll class, but as yet no one has christened her giggling Gertief' We attribute her quietness to the fact that she always seems to be hard at work, proof of which can be seen in that she always has her Commercial work in on time. No doubt, Miss McAllister realizes Gertrude's worthy for she has proved a most efficient secretary. Commercial Club 41 Contemporary Club 4. ttH5 DOROTHY ESTELLE BOYD Iqqy Dot is undoubtedly one of the most popular and charming girls in the class. As a student she is both efficient and dependable. Her artistic abilities are fre- quently exhibited by the appearance of advertising posters throughout the corridors of dear old M, H. S. This fact also illustrates her extreme willingness to co- operate in the various activities of the school.

VERNON LEE BOUSHELL Bush Vernon is one of those tall, mechanically and scien- tifically minded boys who will gladly argue until the cows come home. He speaks French excellently and has a fine tenor voice. His hobby is aviation, and his ambition is to make it his profession. We have a feeling he'll do it too: for he has what it requires to scale the ladder of success. Besides being so versatile, Vernon is a good scout, always ready to help one out. We'll surely miss him, all right. Monitor 35 French Club 3: Glee Club 4: Third Honors, First Semester 4, Camden County Pageant 3. DAVID BRZOZOWSKI Rubinoii Dave is known to the class as Rubinofi because of his ability to play the violin. A member of the school orchestra for the last four years, he may some day be conducting one of his own. Problems seem to be a par- ticular hobby of his. No argument or math stickler ever proves too much for him to try. In addition to all this, Dave is a grand sport and true friend. lust ask Ben, his constant companion.

ISABEL A. AREGOOD Isabel could not be classified as the quietest girl in the class, but she is certainly not the noisiest. Smiling, but reserved and independent, her high marks and sunny disposition are an asset to any group. She is such a quiet and unassuming girl that few people know all the work she has done about the school. Never- theless, you Romeos watch your stepg for beneath that innocent exterior may lie many a wile.

BEATTIE Icky Quiet but congenial, shy yet always willing to lend a helping hand, is the description which best fits Isabelle. Her usual companion is Melita, and the two can often be seen having fun together. lust mention horse-back riding if you want to see and hear lsabelle become enthusiastic. Who knows but what we shall some day see her name appear as that of a famous equestrienne. Commercial Club 47 Third Honors, First Semester 4. ESTHER FLORENCE BALDWIN While dashing madly about discharging her duties before the first period and while acting as monitor, Esther has often seemed to be depressed by the weight of her responsibilities. However, it is obvious that she has little cause for dejection. The teachers report that she is one of the most efficient members of the class: when they haven't time to keep checking up on an assignment they give it to Esther, knowing it will be completed correctly when needed. Monitor 4, Tri-Hi 2, 3, 45 Hockey Squad 2, 3, AH5 RALPH W. BICKNELL Speed If things look black and everyone is blue but you see a brown-haired boy smiling, you'll know it's Ralph. His grand sense of humor has given the law class many a hearty laugh. Ralph's favorite pastime is memorizing his friends' car license numbers, which he does surpris- ingly well. During his three years at Merchantville, Ralph's sunny disposition and pleasing personality have won him many friends among both the students and teachers.

PHYLLIS E. BURMEISTER Phil Whenever we gaze upon Phyllis's golden coiffure we wonder how she obtained those millions of ringlets, and how she manages to keep them in such a flawless posi- tion. We still try to figure out how she gets any sleep, for she surely must fear that her golden head would be disarranged by contact with a pillow. Still, she is able to keep the effect, and we must say that it is one of the class marvels. Monitor 27 Tri-l-li 27 Hockey Squad 2. CHARLES G. CAMPBELL Lowell Thomas Charley might be considered a shy sort of individual by some, but he certainly has a way with the women. lt might be that Clarke Gable moustache he's been try- ing to cultivate, and which he recently shaved off in an attempt to raise a healthy young goatee. Of course, this, and his ability on the gridiron, joined with his tall, dark and handsomeness, made him the best-looking boy of our Worthy class. Football Squad 2, Varsity 3, 47 Baseball Varsity 2. MARGARET CAMM Marge Margaret is another of our classmates about whom no one seems to know a great deal except that she is disposed to silent thought and a moody disposition. We often wonder how one can be so reserved7 but here is Margaret, our sterling example, seemingly unaffected by any of the class wits with their wise t?l cracks. Nevertheless, who knows what may be under that digni- fied exterior which is never pierced. Aerial Staff 47 Commercial Club 47 Third Honors 37 Second Honors, First Semester 47 Office Work 4. O WESLEY ROY CASE Wes Presenting Merchantville's maestro of snappy, scin- tillating modern music! During the past few years Wes has made a name for himself as a band-leader. Besides playing an efficient trumpet in our orchestra, Wes can tickle the ivories in a style to be envied by anyone. Merchantville may well be proud of Wes and his ac- complishments, and we are willing to bet that his pro- ficiency in his profession will carry him far.
