COMOLLI Commercial Course 11 Cambria Street Junior Assembly 13D Pro Merito 141 Athletic Association 142 Silvia believes in deeds not words. never yielded to the fad of bobbed hair. Anything flapperish is very distasteful to her. She is industrious and con- scientious in her school work. There is nothing affected in her per- sonality. If you ask her opinion of anything, you are sure to get a frank reply. Poetry holds a great attraction for her, but her spec- ial hobby is stamp-collecting. She exchanges stamps with strang- ers in various parts of the world, and receives letters in different languages. She is deeply interested in this foreign correspon- dence. This quiet maid can't abide disorder. Her slogan is a place for everything and everything in its place. As a senior, she was all hopes and expectations. May these go with her in her commercial career. NELSON JOHN DENTE General Course 367 N. Main Street Class Baseball 11-2j Football 11-21 Strawride Committee 13, -N Athletic Association 11-2-3-45 .

He has sacrificed much clothing in athletic frays. His ambition in high school was realized last fall when he earned his letter in football. How he despised geometry-only he can tell. But he does not neglect his studies, and manages to always keep far above the passing grade. He is interested in mechanical work and plans to become an electrician or an engineer in the near fu- ture. We often find Nelson working in his father's store. Nelsie also likes the great open spaces. Very often he may be found in the woods, hunting gameg or by some stream he may be seen fish- ing. One more thing--Nelson is to start dancing---I 'f .I n . .M v 'f '

A puff of wind? A cloud of dust? A ghost? No! Just Priscilla, hurrying through th.e hall with not a second's margin of time to sparc. In classes one can bet the answer is going to be funny. Pris marks time in school, for the minutes seem like hours. We surely couldn't get along without her when it comes to playing at our class affairs. But Mitzi doesn't spend all of her time play- ing the piano. Oh! No! Can she act? Can she dance? Can she joke? We know she has all kinds of talents. And she adores War! She's enthusiastically waiting for the next one! Almost any day one can see her speeding up the road in her sporty little coupe, ready for a lark! So talented is Priscilla that she may follow either a professional or a commercial career.

Mary was born in San Donato, Italy, and she came 'way across the sea to go to our schools. She has brown curly hair, large dark eyes, and a peaches-and-cream complexion. She's very enthusias- tic about all kinds of athletics. During the senior year she was captain of the class basketball teamg and if the team was a little disappointing at times, it wasn't the captain's fault. Aviation must be one of her side interests, since she dreams of marrying Lindy. There is usually a supply of questions at the tip of her tongueg but remember, that's the road to wisdom! Her great as- piration is to be a nurse. Her merry laugh is very contagious, and a positive cure for the most severe attack of blues .

X Page Thirty-two LESLIE W. DIEMER Commercial Course R. F. D. Ben Hur and his chariot was never more gracious to pedestrians. This is the type of man who wins medals. Les drives three and one-half miles to school every day in all kinds of weather and over all varieties of roads. Hence, his experiences in road condi- tions are varied. He came from Plainfield Junior High School two years ago to join the class of '28, Although handicapped by phys- ical infirmity, he gets up at five in the morning to feed his horse and help with the chores. Unlike most of us he has enjoyed every study that he has ever taken. Sometimes Les thinks he'd like to do oflice work, then again he'd rather go into the chicken and rab- bit business. Whatever he does, he'll be faithful to his duty as he sees it, and will command the respect of all. EILEEN J. DINEEN Commercial Course Prospect Street Chorus 141 Athletic Association C41 t'It's nice to get up in the morning, but- Eileen is always running, for her classes seem to be on the other side of the building or on the top floor. But she gets there on time-usually. She is a brunette, proud of her Irish blood, who admits she has passed through the Wild stage. Her favorite out- door sports are skating and snowshoeingg and her favorite indoor one is eating chocolate bars, but this is second to entertaning a cer- tain baker. .She enjoys the movies and parties. Eileen dislikes doing dishes and studying after 10 p. m.-although she does not object to reading Weird and mysterious tales at a late hour. She presides in the office of a local garage. Someday she plans to visit Ireland and to travel through Europe.
