Summer finds hersunning herself on the sandy beaches of New Jersey or at Monmouth Beach Club. The Knitting Club, where she can be seen but not heard, is a retreat for Janet's shyness. Yes sir! we will always remember Jan for her quiet ways and pretty clothes. JOEL EDWARD HENKEL Nothing is impossible! Inspired by this motto, llenk attacks his problem with re- newed vigor, whether it be buildin an auto- matic piano tuner, designing a irainwave recorder, or tightening bearings in his ante- diluvian Chrysler.

With her dancing eyes and erup- tions of gigglin , she will have you laughing and as gay as herself in short order.

Whenever the needles click the loudest in the Knitting Club, you know you will find Lois busily creating socks or a sweater for Bob.

NANCY MAY HARRISON Nancy can really be called an all-around gal. Her smiling face can be seen in almost every room where there is an activity. Band, Orchestra, Hi-Tri, Drama Club, and Chem- istry Club are among the many activities in which she has participated. Her work as Alumni Editor of the Miller and as Co- editor of the MILLW1-:EEL has contributed to the reputation of the Senior Class. In the scholastic field, Nancy's honor pin is eloquent proof of her good record. Her various achievements are excellent reason to believe that she will succeed in anything that she attempts. ROBERT KENNETH HART, Ir. Friendly and happy-go-lucky, Ken always has a smile on his face for everyone except his football opponents. Once on the rid- iron, he settled down to the business of sharp blocking, tackling, and cool-headed signal- calling as quarterback for the Blue and White eleven. He showed his versatility, competing in basketball and track as well. Ken's care- free spirit was greatly in evidence in the Drama Club and Math Club, while his laugh could be heard ringing through Varsity Club and Hi-Y meetings. Carefree but industrious, Ken is slated for a successful career teaching business administration. ELIZABETH MARY HAYDEN Better known as Betty, this quiet girl came to Millburn from Elizabeth at the beginning of her Iunior year. She is the possessor of a soft voice and a winning smile. When asked about her interests, Betty's emphatic reply is, Horses, just horses, but Mr. E. especially. Mr. E. is Betty's own. Betty's parents own the Millburn Riding Academy, which accounts for her avid interest in riding. Betty's plans for the future are rather uncertain, but you may be sure that a horse will figure in them somewhere. VINCENT HECK Boys, I've gal to have your dues! As Treasurer, Vince has had the privilege of collecting moneys from the recalcitrant mem- bers of the Senior Class, a task comparable to squeezing blood from a rock. His constant striving for economy has kept the Class of '48 in an enviable state of solvency. A man of diversified interests and skills, Vince dis- plays equal talent at catching impossible passes with gluey fingers from his varsity end position, and at attracting members of the fair sex with his winning ways and great personal magnetism.

JAMES PAUL HOLLERAN Easygoing and disturbed by nothing, Iim's imperturbable spirit of having the most fun in the shortest space of time constantly entertains his wide circle of friends. A mem- ber of the Kris Kringle play cast last year, lim is a Drama Club enthusiast in addition to his role as a singer with the Senior Chorus and Boys' Glee Club. Autumn days found Man-mountain Holleran working out ener- getically with the football team. If ever in need of a friend or cohort for any adventure or some plot, just shout, Hey, lim! and he'll come running! BRUCE HOLMAN Always enjoying himself and entertaining a gang of fellows with those highly original ditties, Bruce is a veritable walking encyclo- pedia of unusual musical airs. Whether he's putting the finishing touches on a poster or sending seventh graders back down the stairs, Bruce always manages a cheerful greeting and radiant smile. In addition to Hi-Y, Student Council, and Varsity Club, Bruce found time to do extensive art work for the MILLXVHEEL and other worthy projects. On the athletic side, Bruce exhibits considerable dexterity at basketball and baseball, al- though he secured his greatest honor for his scrappy, defensive play as a line backer. ROBERT F. HOLMES Coming to us from sunny California as a Iunior, one-woman Holmes has since ac- quired an enviable reputation for his skill as a student and an athlete. A well-known racketeer, Bob is an adept member of the tennis team, although he also plays varsity football and basketball. Notorious for the ability to confute those disagreeing with him, Bob has sparked many a heated homeroom and Varsity Club discussion. Bob's char- acteristic good humor and determination will carry him to the top of the business world, into which he is heading. PATRICIA CAROL I-IUNTOON A cloud of dust and away shoots the little blue Ford with There's always room for one more Huntoon at the wheel. Patty's stage career commenced as a dancin maiden, gathering momentum as the Irish maid in Clarence, and reached its peak with a smash hit as Penny in our Senior Play. During this time Pat was a member of the Dramatic Club and its President for two years. Add less strenuous, although no less important activities, like Press Club and IVIILLWHEEL Stall, and you have unforgettable Pat, full of pep, popularity, and endowed with the ability to make people laugh.
