WILLIAM M. DAVIS Bill Bill is a flaxen-haired lad with a shy, captivating smile. l-le's a whiz in Chemistry, and his persuasive recitations convince the class, even though the professor fails to applaud. Bill is also a probable second Frank Buck, to say nothing of his artistic ability. His hunting, at present, is carried out in the wilds of Merchantville: but it won't be long before he will be bringing them back alive from Africa, Borneo, and points East.

As far as the former fact is concerned, we can truthfully say that with due time she could think up an alibi for anything. Dorothea is a good student and an efficient person, always ready to pitch in and help, when help is needed.

DONALD DE LONG Don When seen approaching from a distance, Don is immediately recognized by his inimitable stride and his famous, indescribable grin. He is always smiling, except perhaps when he is causing someone to burst into a fit of laughter by his clowning antics. Don goes in for vociferous activities--dramatics and cheerleading. Yes, Don, M. H. S. will miss your peppy spirit and humorous personality in the future.

KATHLEEN THERESA DUNN Kay Kay Dunn has always Dunn well whatever she has undertaken. As one of the efficient typists for the year book, Kay proved her worth as a commercial stu- dent. Her future employer may receive worthy infor- mation concerning her from Mr. Smiley, for he chose her for the position of his secretary. No doubt Kay's name will be seen under some well-known column in a newspaper, for her desire is to become a full-fledged newspaper reporter.

LAUREL COWEN A pair of bright brown eyes, a row of curls, and a snappy comeback'---there you have Laurell She's a little bit independent, but in spite of this her opinions are usually right. As for her ability as an actress, just remember her in the junior and senior plays. Never ask her about her private affairs, for a twinkle in her eye and a quick smile will indicate that she knows more than she tells.

Whether it is giving the hockey ball a wallop into safe territory or touching the end of the pool first, she is Iohnny-on-the spot. lust how would the class get along without Betty as our business manager?

GRACE CORNELIA DANA Peg We'll always remember Grace's announcements in Friday morning assemblies: for as the girls' hockey manager, it was her duty to tell the results of the games. Although quiet most of the time, Grace laughs heartily at her friends' jokes and is always ready to lend a helping hand where needed. lncidentally Grace will be one of the first brides in the class, for she is to be married soon after graduation.

A ROBERT LEE DAVIES Bob Bob is one of the quiet lads in our class about whom no one knows much except that he is a pleasant and agreeable companion and classmate. However, we know that he is good in sports, especially baseball: and his honor roll average shows that he does not waste his spare time. His friendly and persevering nature, which is always present, has won him many friends among his classmates and teachers. Baseball Squad 35 Hi-Y 27 Third Honors, First Semes- ter 4.

Jeff 1 M SARAH EAKINS Sallie Well! Well! Who is this little girl walking clown the hall with the perky, turned up nose and sparkling brown eyes? She looks so snappy and chic. Yes, you have guessed it. Here comes Sarah, the girl whose favorite pastime is dancing. She always knows the latest steps and is in her glory when gliding over a slippery dance floor. We don't know just what Sarah's ambition is, but sure it isn't to be a history teacher.

We know Ruth as a hard worker- -especially in connection with the social com- mittee of the Tri-Hi, where she has served faithfully and well. Even if Ruth's passion isn't exactly for Physics, she doesn't allow it to keep her from high marks or the class honor roll. Ruth has won our admiration and will never fail to win the admiration of those people who meet her as the years take their toll.

In the selection of his coiffure, Leonard must have been influenced by Herrick's Delight in Disorder, for it is certainly unique. All joking aside, he is a fine fellow always ready for fun. Leonard plays a good game of golf and is a member of the team. How he uses the clubs is a mystery, for they are nearly as tall as he.

Merchantvillell What's the cause of such vig- orous shouting? Yes, it's Bob. For three years he has urged our teams on to victory with the cheering he succesfully creates. Bob, a smooth, congenial fellow, has really become a cog in the active life of the school and may often be seen at school dances, victory suppers, entertainments, and of course . . . at the games.
