P 'fx IN Gertrude Merkenschlager It isn't noise that makes the world go round. Gertrude is the I do not choose to talk member of the class. She is very shy and spends most of her time in study. Her most delightful class is History C. Gertrude has not enlightened us as to her ambition but whatever she does, the Class of '30 wishes her suc- c-ess. Mary Caroline Patterson l've got the Navy Blues. Mary Caroline spent mubh of her time in school ln the study of Art. Pat has two weaknesses-one, for prospective midshipmen :uid the other, the love of arguing with Miss Cronk. She has well earned the reputation for steady, reliable work and has never failed to appear on the honor roll. Frances Penney Laugh and the world laughs with you. Here is our representative from Jersey. Her sunny disposition has won for her many friends. We wonder why Frances is fond of mechanics? Perhaps she is going to study that line of work. Frances has a bad habit of using slang. If something goes wrong, she can he heard to say Don'it. The Class will miss Mrs. Blood's daily speech. You aren't talking, :ire you, Miss Penney?

-Q: James McAndrew Cool and imperturbable, Tho' apt to act with fire upon occasion. Jim is an enterprising fellow who puts in his spare time at the Main Street Gas XVell. Altho' considered rather bashful Jim is always ready to help out young ladies in distress. He ls a Hi-Y member of High standing and is liked by all who know him. Ralph McDowell My voice, my kingdom is. Ilalph is very fond of travelling. He formerly journeyed to Blanc-hville but now the trip has been shortened to Broome Street. Whats the attraction? This Senior has many good polnts,-includ- ing' a fine voice, which has been an addition to the Boys' Glee Club, a suave dapperness, and a handsome dimple. Seriously-we want to know-was it produced by sleeping on a collar button? We wish you success with your voice and expect to hear you broadcasting SOON. Marie McLaughlin What care I what others do? I mind my own business. Marie is one of the most musically inclined girls of the class. We hear her singing the scales incessantly-Do, Re-Mey, Do, Re- Mey . Although she works in W'oolworth's, we often see her riding in a big green car from Pennsylvania. In history class her reply to -who is her favorite explorer-is always Bird. In grammar Marie seems very apt, yet she makes one mistake invariably, for she always says, Ken I? Helen Menges Silence is Golden. llelcn ls one of our quiet, demure girls. She ls very fond of baseball and what startles us is that she always makes a Homer. To be sure, Helen always has her Phil of everything. Helen's name has been on the honor roll during her four years in high school. She is a true friend and a willing worker. As Vice-Presb dent of our Class she has proven herself worthy. NXENXCDRI ES

-Q: Wallace Smith What's the use of going fast, Smitty? The slower you go, the longer you'II last. iVallie is the beau brummel of the class. He drives a blue Chevrolet, but his frequent trips to Prospect Street make us wonder if he is going to trade it for a Lizzie He is one of the mainstays of the Boys' Glee Club and is always ready with a song. His jolly good nature makes him a favorite with everyone. We have little doubt that Wallie will take up business in Elizabeth town upon gradua- tion and make quite a success of it. Gurley Stening Gurley Stening, kind and true, Why doesn't she ever feel quite blue? Because her work is always done And she is ready for some fun. Gurley's motto is Be prepared. This can easily be seen in her si-hool work, for she is always on the honor roll. Gurley delights to recite, especially in History C class. Margaret Vluka. Silence is my forte. This young lady has quietly passed through the turbulent years of high school. Perhaps her self-possession comes from her having widely traveled as she visited Europe last summer. Margaret is a studious person and she excels in German. She betrays a typical weakness by appearing often in a Reo coupe. Karst the lady be in love? Miriam Weiss . There is no other girl who lives under the sun Who can beat Midge Weiss at chewing gum. Miriam is a vivacious energetic member of our class with a friendly disposition. She has recently become fond of furs, especial- ly of the Martin, It seems that Miss Cronk's Grammar Class has had no effect on Midge for she still says Al do it. Nevertheless Miriam is sure of gaining recognition in the business world because of her ability to typewrite. Her charming manner will win many friends for her. NXENXCDRIES
