JOHN DONALD AURNHAMMER Do you want to know anything about huntin , fishing, or trapping? Do you want your shotgun appraised? Your best bet is to consult johnny Aurnhammer. This den- izen of the deep, dark woods can inform you in a flash about anything concerning the realm of the true sportsman-the great out- doors. Otherwise quiet and reserved, at the mention of fishing or hunting, johnny will relate at length tales of the ones that got away, or about the fifteen-point buck he had in his sights when the trigger jammed! DAVID BAKER Known for his willingness to act as chauffeur after school hours, you usually find Dave cruising down Millburn Avenue with nine fellows in the back seat of the Plymouth, and his attention focussed anywhere but on the road. Dave plans to enter the research chemistry held after finishing college. Al- ready his scientific bent has shown itself in the Physics Club and Chemistry Club. Also a member of Varsity Club, he manages to remain unperturbed during even the most heated discussions there. Dave is an ardent sports fan and is one of Dem Bums' staunch- est supporters. His easy going affability has won Dave widespread popularity. ROBERT BERBERICH When you see a detached look in Berby's eye, don't worryg he's thinking of the hunter's Utopia-a deer behind every tree and a pheasant in every bushy or he's just com- pounding a new theory for one of his original gadgets. To this outdoor man, school seems to fit into his schedule as a sideline, but he still finds time to be an enthusiastic member of the Hunting and Fishing Club. As a mechanic Bob is unsurpassed by any of his classmates. Ayoung man of unusual strength, Berby accomplishes tasks thought impossible by many of us. A happy future seems await- ing Bob in the great outdoors. GERALD CARL BERENDT Who's got my T-square? That's Gerry Berendt, one of Mr. Ridgeway's prize drafts- men and a sharp-shooting Rifle Club member. An outdoor enthusiast, he also belongs to the Huntin and Fishing Club. Renowned for his abiity to twist the German language beyond Miss Heinrich's recognition, Gerry gained the nickname Deutsch when a Sophomore. Deutsch has long been inter- ested in chemistry, and his secret explosives have been subjected to strenuous tests, such as blowing up cement blocks, etc. Gerry will long be remembered as one of the most exuberant boys in the Class of '48.

GERALD AIRES Ierry Aires, better known as Stroke, is outstanding for his work on the gridiron, burning up the boards on the basketball court and playing shortstop for M. H. S. Ierry excels in all of these sports, and to busy himself on the sideline, he's President of the Varsity Club, a member of the Hi-Y, and still finds time to work in the Glenwood Sweet Shop. His spare time is devoted to a certain majorette. We know Ierry will realize his ambitions to become a physical education teacher and coach. LAWRENCE A. ALBANESE, Ir. Taking thin s as they come and not worry- ing about anything characterize Larry. Wheth- er he is spending his time pushing cartons around in the A. 81 P. or beating out a terrific tune on the tenor sax, Larry always seems to be enjoyin himself. During leisure hours in school he iusies himself with German Club and 4-H Club. When track season rolls around, he is out with the team, taking his laps in preparation for a big meet. If you can't find Larry in or near school, just look for a blonde Iunior girl. Chances are he'll be nearby. DITA SIGRID ANTHOLZ The gray '41 Mercury pulls to a stop Want a ride? That's Dita, friendly and always ready to do things for others. She's known around Itlillburn for her blond hair, retty face, and excellent taste in clothes. Eita's time is divided among the Art Room, the Music Room tshe was a member of Chorus for two yearsl, and Dick. Dita's quiet and shy ways may have limited the number of her close friends, but those who really know her agree that a more pleasant or fun-loving girl never entered Alillburn High. MALCOLM GREGORY ARMSTRONG You've all seen him, though few have heard him. But just mention Communism, and Malcolm will awaken from his reverie as if struck by a bolt of lightning, his wrath des- cending with all the fury of a ood soap box orator. Mal could undoubtejly have con- vinced Lenin himself of the fallacies of Communistic thought. He doesn't limit his orations to Forum Club debates, but is always ready to defend the free enterprise system, a system in which such a rugged individualist as this is headed lor certain success.

.A . . yr, -H , VXAWHPL ,Q ff :pgs- JUNE COLLYER BERGEN Come on, teaml Let's fight? Bergen's battle cry on the football tield. A peppy figure in blue and white, she did a swell job at her favorite pastime. Cheerleading, though, is only one of her talents. On stage she displayed real ability. Remember her performance of Cora in Clarence and as a dancing maiden in Kris Kringle? But sur- passing all was her npirouetting Essie in our Senior production. As a member of the Drama Club, G. A. A., Miller Business Staff, MILLXY'HEEL Staff, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council, june did much for llfl.l H. S. Good luck to an unforgettable gxr . ROBERT P. BERSTLER Another hunting excursion, and Bob will be eligible for Mr. MacPhail's most hi hly grized award, the D. S. C. fDistinixi51ed kigpingucrossj. We must say, thoug , that he oes 's cutting in the manner of a sports- man. Splashing through streams and rivers in his seven-league fishing boots, and loaded with his limit of trout or bass, returning homeward from the hunt with his wild game bag, or just being himself-Bob is always a swell sport. School just doesn't seem to fit into his schedule. Happy hunting, Bobl BARBARA ANN BISHOP Bobbie with the bright brown eyes and cheerful smile is one of the best-known and best-liked girls in M. H. S. One of her main interests is Rifle Club, with Mixed Chorus running a close second. She was also the competent secretary of the Dramatic Club. In November, Bobbie was working hard on the Props Committee for You Can't Take It With You. Eve lunch hour you could catch a glimpse of riier brown hair as she rushed up Old Short Hills Road toward home. We know she will be remembered for her natural friendliness toward everyone. RICHARD B. BLAUVELT When we think of 'high-pressure salesman- ship, Dick, who is skilled at breaking down sales resistance with a constant barrage of sufer sales talk, flashes into our minds. But sa esman Blauvelt has his lighter sides Kas Connie will testifyj-his lively witticisms are designed to eliminate boredom forever. When not engaged with Hi-Y, Chemistry Club, or MILLWHEEL affairs, chances are he's off in some secluded spot with Mr. Focht, formu- lating new schemes to aid the sagging bank account of the Senior Class. If these schemes are as effective in business as in school- brother, you're rich!
