. Iff 22 ®he Jfleathcr 33mte HENRY HANSEN “Born to no pride, inventing no strife.” Class Day Publicity Committee. Although he appeared a king on Senior Day. Henry does not wish for royal prerogative. He is all friendliness and amiabil ity. His smiling face is the first to appear in our halls of learning each day. One would not suspect this modest youth of being a dreadful tease, but several girls say he is. RICHARD HARPER “A sweet forgetfulness of care.” Class Track (2. 3, 4); Hi-Y Club (3); Weather Vane Captain (2, 3). Wherever Dick goes, his umbrella goes with him even though it is merely outlined on the blackboard in chalk. It is evident that this stalwart youth believes in keeping out of the rain. Although Dick is a member of the Anti-Study League, it is said that he made 94% in his physics examination. BETTY HARVEY “Maintains a poet’s dignity and ease.” Weather Vane Board (3); French Club (3); Slide Rule Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Chairman Decoration Committee for Junior Prom (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Chairman Dramatic Committee (3); Chairman Civic Committee (4). Betty has been with us for a long while. She was rather one-sided on Senior Day, but she is well balanced at all other times. Poetess, artist, and philosopher, her presence has ever been a pleasure to 28. The Pocono Mountains are her favorite summer haunt. It is also whispered that she has taken a renewed interest in Math! JOAN HENNELL She changed her country but retain’d ber love.” French Club (3, 4); Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Academic Committee (3); Living Pictures (3); Class Day Play (4). Quiet charm marks her presence, and unsuspected dignity, for we all wilt immediately beneath the cool hauteur of Joan’s We English . and always know- who comes when we hear throaty laughter and broad vowels around tbe corner.

“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.

(Olie 333 pat her 3Hanc 23 JOSEPH HINDS Saw others happy, and with sighs withdrew.” Entered tn Senior Year. Class football (4); Senior Play Lighting Committee; Class Pin and Ring Committee (4); Senior Day Music Committee (4); Varsity baseball (4). Joe came down from Connecticut at the beginning of this term. In his genial but unobtrusive way he quickly won his way into our midst. To a casual observer Joe seems rather quiet and subdued—but give him his sax, and how that boy can play! He puts all his hidden fun and personality into his playing—and what results! We are proud of our own Rudy Wiedoft.” THOMAS HUSTON He grins, and looks broad nonsense with a stare. Varsity Track (4); Class Track (3); Basketball (4); Senior Play Properties Committee (4) ; Junior Prom Refreshment Committee; Union County Track Meet (3). Thomas Huston, the man with the cold ankles, came into our midst in his junior year, from the wild and woolly West— Chicago. His hat, spats, and gloves have made him one of the most distinguished of seniors. It is whispered that Tom has interests in Canada. THERESA JANUZZI Shows in her cheek the roses of eighteen. Junior Prom Committee (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Academic Committee (4). This serious brown eyed maiden is secretary of the Children Should Be Seen and Not Heard Club. Tessie, we believe, is afraid of her own voice, for she rarely lets us hear it. Perhaps she will grow more garrulous as she grows older. GRACE JOHNSON If you could get us a dish of tea. ’ Debate Club (4); Art Club (4); Senior Play Art Committee (4) ; Senior Day Play (4); Speaking Contest (4) ; Class Day Art Committee. Grace is new this year, but has already proved herself a good sport. She is in her element when she is standing on a platform haranguing a poor audience. She made a hit in Plainfield at the debate, and we suspect that she will be addressing Congress someday, about why the Development of the Some-thing-or-other should be augmented as much as possible by interstate commissions.
