THE ORIFLAMME gf N Page sixteen LILLIAN ARMSTRONG Lil Can you imagine Lil walking out on Miss Ken- nedy? Well, that would be just too bad for our auburn haired typing teacher. It seems Lil is a very competent and steady worker, never failing to do her job thoroughly. Those characteristics make a good stenog, Lil. Just ask Miss Kennedy. E3 iii JOSEPHINE BAKER Dodo The reason for the shortage of library slips in school is Dodo. The teachers need two packs, one for the class and one for Dodo. When it comes to gum chewing she's second only to Chando, but as for chewing the rag,-that's another story. Our genial Commercial Club president is some finan- cier. It was rumored that she sold a magazine sub- scription, but it fell through. El IES BENJAMIN BECKER Caesar Caesar never dies. Neither does Benny in Chem- istry or Solid. Does this boy know his shapes? We take that back,-we mean figures. But Benny knows his acids and bases just as well as his figures. Even the honorable Mr. Shay never calls him astounding, incomprehensible names, which is quite a feather in Benny's cap. EE DOROTHY BECKER Dot Plump and full of fun,-that's Dot. We under- stand she has taken out a policy against breaking weighing machines. Dot claims it isn't her fault, but insists that a box of chocolates serves only as an appetizer. Who hasn't heard of Dorothy in Chemistry class? She and Mr. Shay agree like a little Freshman and a lordly Senior. I'

THE QRIFLAMME MAE ANDERSON Mae is very serious. It may be that her mirth vanished with a certain young graduate of South River High into the sticks of Pennsylvania. The saying goes that heart interests and books are never a good combination, but that certainly is not true in Mae's case. Just look at her grades if you have any doubts. Z E DAVID AREHART Dave Dave is the handsome Senior with a profile like Adonis. He is invariably immersed in a profound silence, and the only evidence of his wakefulness is an occasional flutter of his eyelids. When addressed by an unsympathetic teacher, Dave awakes with a start and is peeved at having had his most inte1'est- ing' revery disturbed. If dreams are an indication, here is our potential poet. I Le L2 H' DOROTHY ARLETH Dot We wonder if anyone ever saw Dot without a smile. During most of the day she is fairly quiet. But by the last period she is no longer able to re- strain herself, and in spite of Mrs. Franklin's best efforts to repress her Dot continues to laugh and chuckle to her heart's content. Continue through life with a smile, Dot. El El GERALDINE ARMSTRONG Jerry The Senior class can boast of talents in varied directions, but we can rightly put up Jerry as an adequate representative in the field of acting. She certainly feels at home before the foot-lights. But we're inclined to think that Jerry has many sides to her character. That probably explains her natural- ness when cast either as the sweet young heroine or the double crossing moll. I . ,ff bf 9 fur .-jj 1' 1 1J!j 0

THE ORIFLAMME . . STEPHEN BECZA BO Here's a fellow who thinks that a little vacation now and then is just the thing for building up re- serve intellectual powers. After Steve comes to school for a day, he usually stays out two in.order to rest up. In History class Bo shines most brightly when a controversy arises in reference to the eigh- teenth amendment. But seriously Steve is a cork- ing, clever quarter-back. Elllifllill STELLA BELSKI Stell We have not heard much from Stella, but they say that still water runs deep. She is often seen in the company of Peg. Stell is quite an athlete, which is a very desirable asset in the eyes of her boy friend. 'Who is he? A certain young member of the basket- ball squad. Am I right, Stell? EBI MURRAY BERMAN Moey Splutter! Splutter! Splish! Bang! Ah, here it comes. Hey, take your false teeth out of your eyes. Look out, I'll bite your toes off . These witti- cisms 171 announce that the one and only mile-a- minute Mo-hee is near. Moey is one of our most ardent rooters, and what a voice. Ei! lill E ETHEL BLAKAITIS When we come to Ethel, we have reached the height of the Senior class . Ethel claims she spends three hours on her French home-work, but we don't know whether she means each night or the total for the year. Ethel is very cynical of the boys in the Senior class, claiming that they are only infants. However. we believe that somewhere there is a big, strong handsome he-man. Page seventeen
