the weather vane 7 ELIZABETH EVANS Elizabeth Evans, generally known as Sis”, came flying into High School with us in 101S. She has succeeded in remaining with us the entire time. All four years we have found her on the class basketball team as forward, helping us to secure numerous victories. She is gay and jolly and always on the spot. MARGARET FA ULKNER Margie, in her even happy-go-lucky way, has glided through four years of High School. She was treasurer for part of her first year and vice-president her Sophomore—off and on for the four years she played on her class basketball team. Now she is ready to graduate and we hope her good luck will carry her far. LLOYD GALLAGHER Lloyd Gallagher blew into our High School in 'jr. He started off like a race horse” as President of the harmonious Glee Club in '22 and next as business manager of the famous School Magazine. In the athletic branch he stood not like a lone tree on a hill, taking part in football, baseball, and champ basketball team of '22. We hope he will continue to excel in the future. FRANCES GEN DALE A real friend is Frances Gendall,—a friend of whom one will think as one who conscientiously performed her duties large and small, who did what she could to oblige her fellow beings, seeking no reward for her services, shrinking, in her modesty from the limelight. May she herself ever have friends as grateful as those whom she has made here! EDGAR HARRISON Fat came to us front Garwood in ’18. Since that time he has been active in all academic work and has given part of his time to class football, in '20 and ‘21. From West-field High he will go to Columbia— good luck “Fat.”

6 THE WEATHER VANE WILLIAM DARROCH ••Bill Darroch is the kind of fellow you can’t help liking. We don’t know whether it’s because of Ins good nature or his common sense, because he chews gum. or all three. If he makes as many friends in the business world as he lias made in school, his success is assured. CATHKKINE DAUCHY Catherine entered High School with an unlimited capacity for work, devoting her spare time to the construction of posters, composing our song for Junior Day, and acting as Chairman on the “property committee” for our Senior play. Likewise her energy in academic study has earned for her a seat among those few shining stars whose reports show the marks of A’s and B’s. KENNETH DAVIDSON “Ken” Davidson started his high school career as a mere Freshman. But look at him today; a foremost student. An athlete too; a member of class baseball team, and captain of his Senior track team. His title as class poet is undisputable; the magazine wouldn't be complete without one of “Davies” classic selections. “Ken” has many other qualities, too numerous t«» mention, that should carry him to the end of a prosperous life. GUDRUN ESKESEN Gudrun Eskescn. although called “Goodie”, is not toe good t he true. She is awake and alive, and has taken an interest in most of the activities round about. In ’20 she deserted Westfied to live in Perth Amboy, hut returned like the “Prodigal Son” and was welcomed back to W. H. S. in ’21, where she has played a necessary part ever since. FRANCES EDWARDS This member of our illustrious class is of the truly romantic type. Her individuality is one that excludes the commonplace and she is known for the variety and frivolity of her coiffures. In regard to her scholastic ability, she shows a tendency in the artistic line and a remarkable capacity for the writing of both prose and poetry.

8 THE WEATHER VANE ETHAN HESCOCK Ethan Hescock is known to the world and himself as “Tarzan the mighty. In the fall he holds down a good job as end on the football squad; in winter the basketball squad knows him well, but in spring—ah that’s where he shines. Just go out and watch track practice and see him do his seventeen laps, or clear four feet, eleven inches, and anything you like. We’ll say Ethan's a good letter man all right. RUTH HOLVERSON At the beginning of our Junior year Ruth came from Durand. 111. to become one of our class. Not much was heard of our new classmate last year. This year she played on the Senior Basketball Team and won her numerals. Ruth is not going to be in Westfield after graduation. She likes the East but prefers Illinois and is going there soon. COLERIDGE HUTSON We have just recently become acquainted with this young gentleman, who for two years of his High School career remained a dormant character; but we see it all now. His quiet soul was awaiting inspiration to bring him forth, and the mysterious factor was dramatics. Now. however, Hutson is awake to the world and we feel that his future is very promising. RUTH JACKSON Ruth Jackson has passed successfully through four vears of high school but so modest, scarcely any but her most intimate friends knew of her existence. Nevertheless this modest person has not allowed her more aggressive classmates to leave her behind EDWIN F. JONES Dinkus” glided into Westfield High in T8 as a “shadow,” and, judging from circumstantial evidence, is going out as one. “Our Shadow played on the class football teams of ’20, ’21 ; was chief electrician of the Senior Play ’22; and is enjoying a berth on the varsity track team ’22.
