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

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.

CHARLES H. BRUSH, JR. A man who has things to do — and does them. Not easy to know, yet having many who ap- preciate his depth, Charlie impresses everyone with his sincerity, his coolness under fire, his vast fund of subject matter; but most of all with his efficiency. The class has the supreme conviction that Charlie will succeed at teach- ing — or anything he does. LEONARD J. BUCHNER Air of easy unconcern, love of fun, a mous- tache. Creative originality, executive ability, habitual well-doing. Ambitious, boyish, para- doxical Lee! STELLA BURGESS Quick! Spontaneous and lively. Buoyant! Supple and nimble. Terse! Poetic! Fresh! THE 1937 MARION E. CAMBURN Marion Appears: a barely perceptible lift of an eyebrow, a slight cock of the head, a hint of a smile, a few well-chosen words. Marion Arrives: profes- sional poise, clear thinking, social grace — the object of our admiration. THELMA S. E. CAMPBELL For four years Thelma has quietly made and held her own place a- mong us. Completely unruffled, she has car- ried upon her steady shoulders duty, and a flaming head. 30
