(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.

. 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.

21 (Tljr 3-Ucatlirr Jlanc LOIS JOHNSTON “Sinking from thought to thought, a vast profound. Class Basketball (2. 3. 4); Class Academic Committee (3) ; Junior Prcm Refreshment Committee (3) ; Junior Picnic Committee (3); Hockey (2. 4); Academic Committee (3). Personally, we feel that Lois spends most of her spare time sitting on the edge of a cloud strumming a harp. Where else could she get such fantastic inspirations? But she certainly returns to earth and is all here, when it comes to playing basketball or doing good hard work on a committee. WILLIAM JONES “The Club must hale him master of the joke. Class football (I. 2. 3, 4); Class basketball (3); Spanish Club (3); Orchestra (4). Skeeter, another of our “1 Don’t Care Boys. is of the volcanic type—noise personified. What will Chapel be without his periodical dropping of the drumsticks? While rather inactive till late in the pursuit of the fair sex he surely promises to make up for it. CHESTER KENNEY From every face he wipes off every tear. Varsity Ba ketball (4); Varsity Baseball (3. 4); Class Basketball (I. 2. 3); Class football (3); Spanish Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4) ; Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Hi-Y Club (3. 4). Chet is the kind of fellow that often makes us wonder why the word melancholy was ever invented. Surely, if old Dan Webster had only seen his perpetual grin. he would have omitted all the gloomsters. Chet’s greatest pastime is teasing. Being an original chap, he likes girls—one brunette in particular. WINIFRED KENNEY “Life is a jest, and all things show it. Class Basketball (4); Class Weather Vane Committee (3. 4); Junior Prom Invitation Committee (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Glee Club (1); Weather Vane Captain (I); Senior Day Stunt Committee (4); Class Day Committee (4). Winnie’s wit and pep characterize her in W. FI. S. Winnie is going to teach after leaving the halls of Glassboro. Don’t you wish you were going to be a little boy in Miss Kenney’s class? We wonder if she’ll ever teach stenography!
