(tljc rather fiaitc Zll ISABEL DOWN “Oh softest manners, unaffected mind. Class Day Finance Committee (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Junior Prom Committee (3). Poor innocent, little Isabel, wherever she goes, is always called Down. Isabel is one of the big B. P. O. Band; in other words she is a B. P. O. E., a business practice office elf. How that girl can type! RUTH DREW “Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow‘r.“ Entered in the Senior year. Varsity Basketball (4); Spanish Club (4). It wasn’t until we saw Ruth looking at a basket ball that we realized there must be at least one modern town out West. We hope La Grange isn’t stranded because there is no one to fill her place. If she left us some would miss her blushes, but more would miss her smile and good sportsmanship. HELEN FOX “The playful smiles around the dimpled mouth. French Club (3); Thanksgiving Play (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Junior Prom Committee; Junior Picnic Committee; Orchestra (I. 2. 3. 4); Academic Committee (4); Senior Day Committee; Civic Committee (3); Poster Contest First Prize (4) ; Class Day Art Committee. Introducing “Smilin’ Helen. the long-curled pirate of Senior Day. She certainly made her old sax walk the plank in the orchestra, too. We expect to see her breaking into Mr. Whiteman’s band some day. She can also “aggravate a piano. No, ladies, gentlemen, and Mr. Darby, this picture of her is not a tooth-paste ad. MURVAN FUHRMANN “Ah, what a weary race my feet have run. Varsity Basketball (3. 4); Class Basketball (I, 2. 3. ); Spanish Club (2, 3, 4); French Club (3); Junior Prom Decoration Committee (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3) ; Weather Vane Captain (2); Union County Track Meet (3.-4); Hockey (2); Interclass Track (I. 2, 3, 4). Murvan plays basketball with a will, and certainly did her part as ’guard’’ in the renowned senior victory over the sophomores. In fact “Murvy does everything with the same good will—even to sewing on costumes for every play that comes along.

(Ll|c lUeatlm- 30;mc 19 CARY DAVIS And thus when Charles returned, our empire stood. Class Basketball (3) ; Manager (4) ; Spanish Club (2. 3, 4) ; Dramatic Club (4) ; Class Athletic Committee (3); Junior Prom Decoration Committee (3); Orchestra (I. 2, 3); Hockey (I). Cary is the demon female auto driver. One morning she just missed a truck up at the corner and then chased a certain eminent man up on the curb. Her favorite occupations are smiling, scraping on a fiddle, and running around with a certain P. G. whose initials arc C. H. R. Jr. Guess his name if you can! ROBERT DAVIS There stands a structurely majestic frame . Class Sergeant at Arms (3) ; Class Football (4) ; Senior Day Committee; Senior Play Committee. Introducing Machine Gun Bob, the big boy from Chicago where men are men and women carry artillery. His three favorite occupations are eating Goobers, trying to sell people old Stars, and boosting Chicago. We think, however, that he has nothing against King George. But seriously, folks, don’t hold his home town against him. He’s as fine a fellow as you'll find anywhere (if you can look so high.) DOROTHY DEAN “A mighty hunter and her prey was man.” Varsity basketball (3. 4); Class basketball (2) ; French Play (3) ; French Club (3. 4) ; Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Christmas Play (3); Class Committee (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Class Day Play (4); Weather Vane Captain (2); Hockey (2, 3); Leader Reporter (3, 4); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Manager. Basketball (3). Dot’s the original man-hater. She tried to add up her dates but lost count after the first thousand. Her favorite occupations are swimming and smiling. We expect some day she will be posing for tooth paste ads and challenging Trudy Ederle on the side. You never saw anybody smile until you saw her! We suspect there would be murder committed if we mentioned Britly so we won’t. ELINOR DILLON Here is a woman, good without pretense. Spanish Club (3, 4); Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Class Song Committee (4) ; Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Orchestra (3); Leader Reporter (4); Civic Committee (3). A laugh and a giggle and in comes Elinor, always such a good sport and able worker. In spite of her merry laugh and retrousse nose, she is a really serious person who loves to study and abounds in good works.

“She picatljcr lOane 21 ROBERT GOODRICH “Go genlle gales, and bear my sighs away. ' Class Treasurer (2, 3); Varsity football (4); Class basketball (2); Class football (3. 4); Thanksgiving Play (3, 4); Glee Club (2); Hi-Y Club (2. 3). “Goody” has been amiably and good naturedly in our midst for a long, long time. We feel that the class of 28 would be unfinished without him. His favorite occupation is driving about a dozen sheiks around town in the family Buick. When Mr. Goodrich goes to California or somewhere, little Bob surely does burn up the gas! GERALDINE GORDON “Few words arc the best. Entered senior year. Class Day Finance Committee (4). Geraldine is a member of the society which draws few of its membership from 1928- the society whose motto is “Children Should Be Seen and Not I leard. She intends to teach eventually, and the children who come under her genlle sway will indeed be fortunate. TOM GREGORY “To-morrow will be time enough to hear such mortifying stuff. Varsity Tennis (3, 4); Class Track (2. 3); French Club (3. 4); Slide Rule Club (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Weather Vane Captain (I. 2); Class Day Lighting Committee. Tom is the boy with the permanent wave and a mania for turning corners on two wheels. He seems quite slow when he ambles about school, but just ask him about Cranford. 1 lis other manly attributes are shooting a rifle and playing a harmonica to perfection. MARY HAMLETTE Yet, soft by nature. Class Basketball (I. 2. 3, 4); Class Track (I. 2. 3. 4); Debate Club (3, 4); French Club (3. 4); Art Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Glee Club (I); Union County Track Meet (3); Hockey (2, 3); Senior Day Committee (4). Twenty minutes to nine, a step on the stairs and whom do we see but Mary. You sec. Mary comes from Scotch Plains, and it does take time to get to school. Mary is a jolly, companionable sort of girl who likes a good time. She is everyone's friend. Oh yes! Mary can whisper; it seems to be her one bad habit--so considered by our teachers.
