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.

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.

IOHN A. CHILDERS Big lack Brightness personified, is what we always think of when lack is mentioned, for he never fails to answer correctly when questioned about an Algebra or Physics problem. Besides this, his congenial personality and cheery manner make him well liked by all his fellow students. That big things come in small packages must be true, for Iack's high and mighty ambition is to be a future student at Ohio University.

O MARION CONNELL Snippy Meet Marion, the well dressed and sophisticated young lady of the senior class, whose distinctive style of hair-dress has brought a certain inimitable verve and dash to the corridors of M. H. S. Besides introducing the pleasant atmosphere of Fifth Avenue to the school, Marion takes an active part in the current social activi- ties, being a familiar figure at our dances. One of her pet diversions is joking with le beau professeur Bishop about his home town and the folks back home.

CHARLOTTE E. COE Look out, Lily Pons and Grace Moore! From M. H. S. comes a singer who is going to give you present top- notchers some stiff competition. Charlotte has been in the Glee Club, the All State Chorus, and has also sung in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. This, in our opinion, is an attainment of which to be proud. Possessed of a fine speaking and singing voice, one day she will reach the topg and we are all looking forward to seeing her name in lights in the not-too- distant future.

Guncotton Everyone's pal though somewhat quiet, Francis is a familiar figure around the halls of M. H. S. His ready Irish grin and twinkling eyes seem to belie his outward calm and repose. As these are necessary ingredients in the recipe for making friends, we know he will get along. Track 45 Perfect Attendance 47 Second Honors, First Semester 4.
