VERA F. HOLM Petite and full of pep with a pleasing way about her, that's Vera. Her ready smile, her cheerful thoughts, and her capacity for getting a big kick out of life all join together to help make her the most attractive girl in the senior class. ln the halls or outside the class- room she can be seen-f-or rather heardewith a group of girls who seem to have forgotten there ever was such a pursuit as going to school. However, Vera is a hard worker and a capable member of our group. Student Council 25 Commercial Club 45 Perfect Attend- ance 2, 3, First Semester 45 Christmas Card Committee 4.

She delighted in a heated argument with our Math. teacher and was unclaunted in spite of threats of being thrown out of class. Her flashing smile will help her even in the pursuit of her great ambition, the study of medicine. One could not be sick with Marion around.

Rita used to be one of the silent, shy, and retiring members of the classy but now she can hurl words in competition with the best of raconteurs, as her teachers and friends well know. No doubt her pleasant voice and charming smile help her find many people to converse with. Perfect Attendance, First Semester 4. MELITA C. HOFFMAN Lee A generous smile topped off with a nice dimple-and you have Melita. Although she has been with us only a year, she has already gained a wealth of friends in Merchantville, not only among her classmates, but among the teachers as well. Maybe it's the twinkle in your eye, Melita, or that tantalizing smile! Whatever be the reason, you certainly have a place in our hearts. Commercial Club 4: Christmas Card Committee 4. MW Wi W ELIZABETH IEAN HOLLIGER Betty Betty's usual comment when she sees a senior wan- dering around the school halls is-- Any year book money? The reason for this opportune question is that Betty is the official money collector of the business staff. Dependability, personality, and a cheery disposition all combine to make Betty an active member of the class. All these qualities will certainly contribute toward mak- ing her a success in the business world.

THOMAS D. HUGHES Tom Here comes Tomi the likable young man whom we can see Cand hearl every morning before school arguing with Mr. Bishop. His favorite pastime seems to be eating cmd swapping candy in Trig. class, where he has given Mr. Beery many gray hairs and weary wrinkles. Recently, Tom has been having a great time with another of Mr. Bishop's struggling Physics stu- dents, though she denies it most vehemently. His ready smile and quiet humor make him a favorite with all his classmates and friends.

IACKSON Mae A bright and happy girl is Mary with a helping hand for anyone at anytime. She is very generous, espe- cially when it comes to giving her friends candy in class7 but she knows it wouldn't be very polite to chew while her pals look on. No indeed! Mary wouldn't do that. Seriously speaking, she is quite a religious girl. Some day we may hear of her as a missionary in a foreign field. Who knows?
