ALICE L. BEEBE A wicked grin — a shout of glee, someone small and eager Scoots past. A live wire — never motion- less, seldom silent. If a friendly call echoes from any corner you may be sure its origin is this cheery, diminu- tive dynamo who is a part of Montclair ' s ev- ery fun. THE 1937 ANDREE MARIE BELVERCE French from the word go! Slim, trim. Made- moiselle Andre ' hides numerous resources be- neath a chic exterior. Her accomplishments, which range from des- ignateur de costumes francais for the annual language festival to ex- ecutive admirable of the French Club, pre- sage her instinctive good taste and quiet efficiency. LAURA BENNETT Gentle. Gay. Dimpled. Laura, who had the distinction of being the only woman in a Senate play, is active dra- matically and attractive redheadedly. NORMAN P. BERDAN There ' s a look of seriousness in his blue eyes that gives the lie to his carefree activity. There ' s a line of determination about his chin that contradicts his irresponsible air. There ' s an element of steadiness in his friendship that perjures his youthful changes-of-heart. A boy of paradox, Norman gives promise of a man of accomplishment. BETTY ROSE BIRD Weaving a delicate pattern of poetry . . . Inviting confidence with clear-eyed simplicity . . . Judging facts and folks directly . . . Betty, a truly aerial being.

FORDYCE W. BAKER, JR. He is smooth-looking; he is quick-moving; and when he laughs, the world laughs with him. Behind his dreamy eyes is worldliness; behind his quiet, suave manner is very much of the little boy. Ford — enigma, elusive. He serves three masters: German, English and Miss Cridlebaugh. MARGARET H. BAKER Peggy ' s classic features are oft extolled; her statuesque beauty is loudly proclaimed. True to the Greeks she is reserved and dignified. She is a well-selected Homeric simile dressed in stunning clothes. RUTH BANKER Don ' t let Ruth ' s fluff of blonde hair and danc- ing brown eyes deceive you! Beneath that charming pertness lies an amazing amount of energy that clamors for expression and permits no trifling. ROBERTA C. BAXTER Bertie: a character of a book; the author of which may have been Robert Frost, for in her we find the same quiet love of New England. Yet, in another chap- ter, the writing is more that of Richard Halli- burton, — wildness of sudden inspirations, and the irrepressible joy of living. HELEN M. BECK Clear and flowing her voice . . . her bearing dramatic, her nature sensitive. Warm and impulsive her heart . . . the popu- lar Beckie. LA CAMP ANA 27

RALPH M. BOCERTMAN It took Ralph to be one of the boys without being boister- ous. It tookRalph in tails. in sport clothes, to look like a page out of Esquire. It always took Ralph — and Ralph took us with his manliness, his poise, his savoir-faire. BERNARD A. BORESSOFF Onstage from Christo- pher Robin to Hamlet — Offstage from epi- grammatic repartee to profound dissertation his interests range from the most frivolous dance to an orderly management of Mont- clair ' s big affairs. Bernie spells ability, depth, versatility. LA CAMP ANA EDITH M. BRADLEY Generous is the word for Wegie — unless it be good-natured. Wegie likes everyone and ev- eryone like Wegie. She has maintained the high athletic standards that we have come to expect of math majors. Specifically, the picture we have of her is of an alert young woman rushing from the high school and laden with a heap of papers as high as the Tower of Pisa. WILLIAM A. F. BRAEM Bill can be characterized by the wonderful re- ports he makes in class. Scholarly — with an erudite interest in the details as well as an understanding knowledge of the large trends. Yet containing a dry wit that surprises and delights. Add to this his ability to talk en- thusiastically. JOSEPH J. BROWNSTEIN At 8:45 Joe rolls out of a rumble-seat. At 12:00 he reads his lunch and eats the New York Times. When does he acquire his broad knowledge? We don ' t know. When does he accomplish the executive work that charac- terizes him? We don ' t know. When is he an actively sympathetic and reliable friend? This we can answer proudly: Always! 29
