WARREN EUGENE PIPES COLONIA, N. I. lfVoodbridge High School Entering Rutgers From the West via Colonia comes Eugene, stepping efficiently from the station to the school with his inseparable briefcase and cheery smile. Faithful in work and friendship, he has been one of Prep's most.loya1 and respected members. ALLEN MARMADUKE POTTER METUCHEN, N. J. .Metuchcn High School Theatre Club 43 Entering Rutgers Allen came to us just before the Christmas holiday and has devoted himself quite exclusively to his studies. However, to those who have come to know him, he has revealed many likeable qualities. IOHN OLIVER PRATHER METUCHEN, N. J. Franklin High School Johnny is another member of our band of com- muters, arriving each morning on the eight twenty- Eve from Metuchen. His faithful, conscientious work has given great satisfaction to the faculty and his quiet, unassuming loyalty will be missed when he leaves the student body. There is no question that these qualities will be of great value to him in whatever field he decides to explore. Seventeen

S ixtrrn ERIC NICHOLSON NEWTON HIGHLAND PARK, N. J. Higlzland Pork High School Entering Rutgers Eric's slow and steady ways and his imperturb- able complacency have marked him as one never much to be troubled by the buffets of fate. The quiet and unobtrusive way in which he has made his niche in the school is a lesson to all those who may think that attention and recognition can be achieved only by radicalism. ROBERT EDWARD O'DONNELL MAMARONECK, N. Y. F. E. Bellows Higlz School Entering Rutgers Although it was a far call from the Chase National Bank to Rutgers Prep, Bob decided at Christmas to leave the frenzied pursuit of finance and take up the chase for college credits. He has worked hard during his stay here and deserves the success which all wish him. FREDERICK EUGENE PARKINSON SALISBURY CENTER, N. Y. Dolgrville High Srlzool Varsity Football 49 I. V. Basketball 43 Varsity Baseball 45 Theatre Club 45 Entering Cornell Wlieii Fred has not been busy counting up the days remaining until the next vacation or scanning the bus schedules, he has been active in athletics.

l Eighteen CARMEN STEPHEN RACITI NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. Highland Park High SFIYOUI' Entering Rutgers Carmen's handsome Latin features have been a welcome decoration in the study hall since he joined us for the second half year, and his winning smile and willing assistance have made him a cheer- ful and helpful companion. We all regret the brevity of his stay, for he has also shown himself an agile performer on the basketball court. FERDINAND IOHN RATTI LANDISVILLE, N. J. Vim'Icmd High Srhool Varsity Football 45 Swimming 43 Varsity Baseball -lg Entering Rutgers Ferdinand-the-bull is a trite nickname for the pool shark of Delta house, but it was inevitable. Ferd also won renown as a football player, but he perhaps is best known for his unfailing good humor and a grin that would outshine a neon sign. Ferd has combined athletic with scholastic prowess and was a budding perennial on the honor roll. ROBERT S. RATTI LANDISVILLE, N. J. Vineland High School Theatre Club 45 Entering Rutgers Ferd's big brother, Bob, entered school after the Christmas holiday, but found that his late ar- rival was no detriment to his popularity. Well-liked by students and faculty, Bob has contributed his all to the baseball team and Algebra II. Football at Rutgers ought to get a big boost when both Ratti boys arrive.
