gf- Marion Wells I haven't all my lessons done Because I haven't any gum. Marion is one of the stand-bys of the Girls' Glee Club and she will certainly be missed after graduation. Marion likes catchy ad- vertisements especially Not a cough in a. 'Carl'oad. Marion's Ford is a rival of Ryder's for the age-service prize. NVe sometimes wish we could take life as easily and happily as you, Marlon. Clarence Welsh Will the meeting please come to order? . Clarence Welsh, better known as Dai is one of the most popu- lar boys of the Senior Class. He is a lover of music and can be heard anytime singing his favorite song, Singing in the Bathtub. Dat is often seen traveling in the direction of Newburgh. As President of the Hi-Y and of the Athletic Association, VVelsh has made a name for himself by his executive ability. Keep this up, Clarence, and suc- cess will come your way. - Helen Wilson Her honest, frieniily, smiling face Has made her friends in every place. Helen ls one of the best workers in our class. A look at the badges up and down the sleeves of her Scout Uniform should con- vince one oi that. 'The troop likes Helen and holds her in high esteem. Helen has an infectious laugh and a great lover of German. XVe think her industry and patience should carry her far. Josephine Young Josephine, sweet, demure and shy, Let's- all but Harry pass her by. Josephine has a steady good nature and is a favorite of Corey's because she never interrupts class meetings by her loud talking. Her favorite expression when she is vexed or in trouble is Oh! Harry. She has a great fondness for the German Club and thinks that such nice people belong to it. We understand that she expects to become a nurse and we think that her qualities will fit her nicely to the task. NXENXGDRI 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
