The original woman-hater , a regular fellow and a sportsman; in athletics he was always ready when called and he came through when needed. His ready wit and good-natured sarcasm will be missed in school next year. He seldom came to school on Monday (why Monday?). MILLICENT PEARSALL Of manners gentle, of affections mild. Glee Club (I); Living Pictures (2); Class Basketball (2, 3); Senior Play Publicity Committee. Dependable, persevering, clear-thinking, and good-natured, Millicenl has won our respect as a cheerful, loyal exponent of the high standards of Westfield High School. THURLOW PELTON So many looks of young and old Are cast upon his features bold. Hello men! Jo ambles along with a greeting for everyone. We were surprised that they let him get away from Hollywood. but we’re mighty glad he's back. ELIZABETH PLEISTER With a roar she rides by on the wings of the wind —“A clever driver!

We all know Flo as a perfect peach. Smiling, happy, and friendly, she has become such a valuable member of our class that we wonder what we will ever do without her. ROBERT MUMFORD He is a scholar and a ripe and good one. Class Baseball (I. 2); Class Football (2. 3. 4); Class Basketball (3. 4); Class Track (3); Glee Club (I. 2): Pocahontas (2) : Debate Team (3) ; Weather Vane (2) ; Debate Society (3. 4). Secretary (3. 4); Class Treasurer (3); Junior Prom Committee; Senior Play Committee; High School News Editor (4); Hi-Y (3.4). Good, serious old Bob is an excellent student and an all around good fellow. When Bob lakes a job in hand it is sure to be done and done right. He always has the interest of the class at heart, and is sure to make his mark in the world because of his loyal spirit. GRACE NEWHAM Wee, sleekit. cow’rin, tim’rous beastie.” Grace is the Sphinx of our class, but we suspect this attitude is merely a species of protective armor. EDGERTON NEWCOMB Steadfast, strong and sure, without a peer, am I. Class Basketball Manager (I); Orchestra (I. 2); French Play (2. 3); Junior Prom Committee; Class Football (4); Senior Play Stage Manager; Hi-Y (3.4); Class Day Scenery Committee. The handsome, stalwart, heart-breaking young man who at times is seen dashing here and there in a somewhat bedraggled auto, and at other times driving with style in his Chevrolet Coupe, bears the cognomen of Edgerton Newcomb. Notwithstanding his choice of vehicles, no one could have worked more assiduously or could have accomplished so much with so little as did Edgie in his masterly work on the scenery for the Senior Play.

She has the delightful combination of being proficient in athletics as well as in music. JOSEPH POLLACK A bold and vigorous warrior. Men stand in awe of him.

Chairman; Class Day Scenery Committee; Glee Club Committee (4); Springtime Committee (4). Shall we dub Grace School Artist? I think so. She has drawn and painted her way through school. I am sure I don't know what the Weather Vane will do without her. We Seniors arc proud that she belongs to us. JANET ROCKWELL Why then should not we women act alone? Or whence are men so necessary grown? Class Track (3.4); Varsity Track (3.4) ; National Track Meet (3) ; Springtime Committee (4) ; Senior Day Committee. By merely glancing at Jane's record above, you can easily see that she has established a re utation as an athlete. Aside from her athletic ability, she is a good sport and possesses a keen sense of humor.
