THE COMET MAE AMANDA BACHMAN Mae “Yea Team! Yea Team! It's only Mac spurring the team on to victory. She has been one of our peppy cheerleaders for the last three years.

GRACE HELEN BARRALL Grade Grade's shy and quiet disposition in the classroom is quite deceiving, because outside of class she is just as talkative and full of fun as the next person. Her favorite sports are basketball and volley ball. She also loves to dance, especially with that certain person from Pennsville. Commercial Club 2, 3. DOROTHY MAE BECK Dot Dot, who hails from Bangor, is a jolly little lassie, full of fun and with an unusual laugh that attracts much attention. She does not take part in sports or extra school activities because working in Murphy's 5 and 10 takes up most of her time. She is fond of dancing and bowling. We think her heart-throb is wearing the Navy Blue. Basketball I, 2. Volley Ball 1, 2.

GEORGE GIDEON BENSING Bensing” Ho! Ho! Ho! Don't get excited, folks. It's just Bensing's bellow at some poor fellow who has fallen down the steps. He can find time for laughing at anything, no matter how serious. Ben- sing says he doesn't mind school, but he sure is glad when summer comes. His special “love is English. (??) He says he wants to be an undertaker, following in his father's business. One of his favorite foods is ice cream and he claims he can eat a gallon at a time. We'd have to see that to believe it, though. Science Club I. BERNADINE BEATRICE BITTENBENDER Benny Crack! Benny's chewing gum again. She's active in sports and always greets everyone with a smile. How does that Ford look? After what Benny puts it through, we're afraid to look. All joking aside, she's really a good driver. Just ask her three pals from Hecktown. Benny will soon leave the foursome because of the ring she wears on hor third finger of her left hand. Do we hear wedding bells in the noar future? They wouldn't have any connection with Moorcstown, would they? Band I, 2, Magazine Campaign I; Volley Ball I, 2, 3,- Basketball J, 2, 3, Hockey 1.

He is willing to try anything once, except schoolwork. Much of his leisure time is spent at the Penn-Jersey airport. 1945
