xc!- Gerald Raynor You just can't be blue when l'm around. Gerald, the dancer of the class, has lately been using a differ- ent shade of Shaffer ink-green. VVe wonder if the proximity of the person behind him in the Senior Room has had any influence? Ger- ald was also seen coming out of a local beauty parlor. Who is the lady who could prompt such actions? He ls a cheerful and willing worker. Gerald has shown this as Assistant Business Manager of both the Por-Je and Class Book. Vera. Roberts Neither careless, nor too glad, Nor too serious, nor too sad. Vera is a very studious girl whose love of math. is well-known. Any time there is a hard lesson in algebra, you can see Vera holding :1 conversation with the shark of the class. They say she's asking for his paper, but it may be more than that. Vera enjoyed her sum- mer at Rock View greatly, but now her fondness for a certain some- one has made her forget that. William Rosner The Shamrock is his symbol. Behold Red, the dashing shiek who frequents.West End. On the gridiron he has proved himself an excellent player by his stone- wall defense. Miss Cronk is always praising Red in English class because he never forgets his Dots ln sentence construction. At the Hi-Y Club he is known as the paddle expert and his distinguished position demands respect from all the members. Red's future will be bright if he continues his present desire to climb the ladder of success. Paul Rutan Silence is the Secret of Success. Paul is one of the most studious members of the Senior Class. He never has much to say and if silence is golden, we often wonder what lies beneath this deep quietness. VVe feel sure that some day Paul will succeed as a great electrician or as a radio expert for he has a peculiar bent for mathematics and science. NXENXGDRI ES

QP Catherine Carroll Silence is a virtue: Possess it if you can. lt's never found in a woman Ancl seldom in a man. Catherine is the class exception to this wise old saying. This quiet, demure young: miss has never enlightened us as to her am- bition, hut we know that if she tackles her life job as she tackles her history C, she cannot lose. She is very fond of confections, espec- ially sugar plums. Vincent Carroll A gentle and mild exterior- would mislead even the wisest. Vince, as he is known to his classmates. is a quiet and reliable member of the Senior Class. He has the making of one of those suc- cessful men in the world who climb cautiously hut steadily onward. His. one vice is his undying' passion for' Latin. Madeline Conklin Basketball is my hobby. Mad seems to helieve that a. task should he well Dunn. AI- though Madeline lives far from sn-hool, she does not mind the-walk, for she needs the exercise to keep her fit for athletics. Lack of mem- ory seems to he her weakness. Maybe it is because she relies on her Will 'What is this we hear of your fondness. for Middletown and i DeSota sedans? i Stanley Cooper Gee, l take an awful Beating. Behold! The treasurer of the Class of I936. llere we have :1 great sportsman, a very good basketball and football player. His one ' big racket in school is kidding Miss Cronk into giving him good marks.

I , .r. if Q4 Stanley Ryder Our Peacock in disguise. Pete in his four years of high school has earned A's ln two subjects-football and Alice. Each morning he comes to P. J. H. S. from Matamoras in his t-rusty Ford. Stanley's favorite subject is Advanced Algebra, where he delights in explaining the whys and hows of a certain game to the class and Mr. Horsman. Stan is a. well-liked boy, especially by the girls. William Schoonmaker Sometl1in sparkling in his eye Would a mirthful thought imply. The wild outbursts of this seemingly, and not always silent young man, will be greatly missed in Mrs. Blood's French Class and in Virgil also. He is a gifted pianist and a good student. We wonder if with all this knowledge he will be able to find his way through the Marshes, Fortune should smile kindly on this sunny tempered young man. Thelma Shaffer She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on. What would the Dramatic Club do without Thelma to design and make the costumes? WVhat would the French Club do without its efficient Secretary and Treasurer? We have often wondered why she does not cut her tresses but she seems to prefer her Long Bob . Raynor shine Thelma thinks of clothes although she does take time to tease the boys and watch them respond to her magnetic person- ality. Thelma has a great deal of ability which she does not hesitate to use in the service of others. Willa Sickinger Keep smiling -that's my motto. This curly-headed lass is the athlete of thevclass. She has achieved fame as a basketball player on the Port Varsity. Willa believes in the motto An athlete for an athlete. She has shown a decided liking for boys' basketball and is often seen at Matamoras High School, watching Newt do his best. VVilla's cheerful disposi- tion, we know, will carry her far in life.
