Many a girl has been heard to murmur, Oh, what I wouldn't give for a head of hair like that, when gazing upon Paulls wavy locks. But those coveted locks are his and his alone, and are soon to be covered by the cap of an Aviation Cadet. Paul has enlisted in the Army Air Corps and is now waiting his call. The Class is losing a wonderful fellow, and they will miss his cheery smile. However, best of luck to you, Paul. Keep 'Em Flying.

Gobble, gobble, gobble. Don't be alarmed. Itls only Kit Carson looking after his turkeys. It seems that turkeys are so important to him they have even crowded out his interest in the fair ladies. And believe me, the girls don't like it, for Kit is without a doubt one of the best-liked members of the Senior Class. He is the possessor of a warm smile and a completely winning personality. Come on, Kit, how about for- getting your turkeys and giving us girls a break. Ambition: Naval Air Pilot Ei! E GERMAINE CERCY Gerry Home Living Club Germaine has been doing some good neighbor re- lations work between South River High School and New Brunswick by giving her heart and hand to a certain soldier from New Brunswick. Quiet at class times, but not to the point of being silent-talkative at other times, but not to the point of being loud-you might call Gerry the happy medium. This, plus all her other qualities, makes her a friend worth having, and a person worth knowing. Ambition: Pianist Ei! W .

Betty has many friends. Jackye and Edna are her closest ones. She has belonged to the Glee Club, in addition to her work in the secretarial course.

At one time or another all of us have been stumped by some subject- but not Viola. She is well above average in science and mathematics, and in languages she is a shining light. Vi could figure out even the most difficult passages in Virgil. In French she can tell you any remote verb or difficult pronoun that may puzzle you. Her knowledge is only over-shadowed by her friendly personality and line sense of humor. Ambition: Dress Defigner 1944 Page ruff-nly-join'
