WILLIAM MCGLAUGHLIN Bill Bill is the quiet fellow who doesn't like to borrow. He came to Merchantville in his senior year from Audu- spite of the shortness of his bon High School: but in stay with us, he has become famous because of his loud socks and innocent look. Although his locomotion around the school is like that of Stepen Fetchit, Bill becomes full of pep, vim, and vigor when on the foot- ball field. od' uolcflwlggl 00 ,lid it W ALICE I. MILLER Allie Alice Miller, our most dependable girl, has brought honor to herself by her splendid work in the Commer- cial Department of our school. Wonderland may have had its Alice, but she is not to be compared with our Alice, who drank of the grow-big medicine twisdoml, and grew, and grew, and grew, for the honor roll never lacked her name.

The most popular girl in the class, she is noted for her splendid work on the hockey field and as the president of the Tri-Hi. Betty is a valuable friend, a willing worker, and our idea of a grand sport.

Her pet aversion seems to be reciting, for when asked a question, she hesitates to answer even though she knows what to say. It may be that she is intimidated by the determined countenances of the faculty. Who knows? Commercial Club 4: lnterclass Baseball 2, 3, 4.

I X DAVID MAGOWAN Dave Dave is the boy who seems to know where every ladder, switch, and electric plug in the school is located. His acquaintance with the lights on the stage is invaluable in the production of the school plays and operettas. These activities owe a great deal to his willing cooperation. He is also a familiar sight at many school activities, where his usual occupation is taking tickets or giving out programs. Lately, he has found Miss Walken to be a most suitable dancing partner during the first period on Tuesday mornings.

E l it LOUIS GARFIELD MCAFOOS. Ir. Bud Personality, dependability, and an all around sport, are all factors which help to identify Louis. His abili- ties are shown not only by his membership in our school orchestra, but also by the financial success of the Record for which he is largely responsible. His elec- tion as the boy with the best personality proves that the class expects a great future for him.

Efficiency is the word she denotes. Bustling about, attending to business or pleasure, Hazel does the job of the moment with a clear head and steady hand. Miss McAllister found her a capable and dependable secretary. Hazel's ushering work at school affairs and her typing ability prove she will be the exceptional young business woman in the future work- ing world.

ETHEL MARGARET MCCAUGHIN Ziz A hilarious giggle or an interjection of Oh, Mr. Bishop usually denotes Ethel's presence. Ethel speaks with somewhat of a drawl, and the effect is very musi- cal. Her power of comprehension is akin in the matter of speed to her power of speech, for she never catches the class-room cracks until about an hour after they have been released by the copyright owners. However, Ethel seems to enjoy life, and her high average proves that she misses only the jokes. Iunior Play Cast 35 Second Honors 25 Third Honors 3.

BENIAMIN NABRZESKI Ben Benjamin Nabrzeski, who is known simply as Ben to his friends, is a very quiet, modest, and well mannered fellow. He is always friendly and helpful toward others, and has a smile for everyone. We have never heard him raise his voice, either: it is always well modulated. Ben has quite a sense of humor and gets along well with others. He's a whiz in chemistry, too: so in case you forget the formula for sulphuric acid, just ask Ben.

ROGER NORTH Roq A stentorian voice exclaiming, When do you expect to pay your class dues? makes us aware of Roger's gentle presence. ln spite of the fact that he is a home- room treasurer, he is both an amiable and a versatile fellow, Roger sings tenor, is a fine romantic actor, an efficient class officer, and a devil with the women.

IOHN H. NEKERVIS Punchy l'm sure you will all remember lohnny, the greatest of all basketball announcers. He always amused his fellow students by swinging his leg from side to side while bravely announcing the results of our inter- scholastic entanglements. There were but few plays or operettas in which his capable supervision of the stage management was not felt, and the speed and alacrity with which he cleared the platform for assembly pro- grams was nothing short of remarkable. When not hanging around Mr. Elder's office, he can be seen about the halls with a certain young sophomore.

NUMBERS Mim Mim is a tiny, pleasant, brown-locked senior, who, in her own small way, has done a lot to brighten the darkness which sometimes descends upon the halls- and spirits,--of M. H. S. Her good humor and line of pleasant chatter have won her many friends. She has proved herself efficient and dependable as a faithful secretary to Miss Powell.
