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.

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

ROBERT ELLSWORTH REUTER IRVINGTON, N. J. I r'vingfou High School Varsity Football 45 Varsity Baseball 4g The Argo 45 Ye Dial 43 Entering Rutgers Shorty , as he is affectionately known to one and all, has been a welcome addition to the third floor of the Delta House. Bob was one of the vest- pocket quarterbacks on Prep's football team, but his brilliant pigskin career was hampered by tall grass on the gridiron. Shorty would have made a good golfer too, but he was always falling into the cup. IOHN FRANK SCHMIDT NEW BRUNSWICK, N. I. New Bruizswicle High School Varsity Football, Captain 43 Varsity Baseball 3, 43 Varsity Basketball 43 President of Student Body 4, Entering Rutgers To save ourselves the embarrassment of string- ing out an endless list of superlatives, we will let the record speak for itself. Here is the president of our student body, football captain, star basket- ball and baseball player, high ranking scholar, sin- cere and loyal friend and tower of strength. May our appreciation be only the beginning of the great amount that we know john will receive in his future life. OLIVER COMPTON SMITH PLAINFIELD, N. J. Plainfield High School Theatre Club 4g Entering Rutgers Oliver's presence always breathes cheerfulness and generosity. He has given the Theatre Club a loyal support, which has manifested itself con- cretely in his willingness to use his car. Many a boy has had a more pleasant trip to the theatre because of Oliver and his automobile. N inelccn
