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.

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.
