T h e WEATHER VANE 19 3 2 BETTY DEAN General 234 Scotch Plains Avenue Entered 1931. Betty came here from one of the Oranges this fall. She is a tiny, jolly, likeable girl who seems to have a weakness for pole-vaulters. She and Charlotte B. were inseparable and how these added attractions did hook V. H. S. athletes! MARGARET DcGRAW College Preparatory 260 East Broad Street Dramatic Club 13. 4); French Club (2); Holiday Plays Committee (3, 4); Athletic Committee (4). Peg'' is the smaller half of the “Peg and combine. Her capacity for work accompanied with sprightly gossip is tremendous. Although she once wrote cleverly, Life i like a piece of toast, golden brown on one side and burnt on the other , we are sure she deserves to find it completely to her taste in the future. J.

T b e WEATHER VANE 19 3 2 DONALD CROSS College Preparntory 533 Boulevard German Club i3); Baseball (3); Junior Prom (3); Senior Banner Committee (4). If you see a tall, blond, good-looking fellow with a very serious look on his face, prowling around the halls, it’s just Don, laying plans for a new Hi-Y dance. As a man-about-town, there are few who rank higher than Don; and few are the social events not honored by his presence. BERYL CURRY College Preparatory 596 Sherwood Parkway Journalism Club (3, 4); Library Council (4); Senior Day (3); Hockey (3, 4); Senior Play Committee (3); Academic Committee (4). Beryl is the little English immigrant whose accent, both French and English, creates a big sensation in school. She is a very busy person and enjoys membership in several school clubs.

Joe is one of our many village cut-ups. He claims a complete reformation, going so far as to read the Bible in chapel (no alarm clocks went off) and become an earnest member of the track team. His spirited efforts have revived the humor section of the Weather l ane from a condition of rigor mortis to its present vigorous state. WILLARD DAY College Preparatory Springfield Spanish Club (3. 4i; Slide Rule Club (3, 4); Band (3. 4); Track (4). Willard is the diminutive sportsman from Springfield, whose football team gave our second team a hard battle last year. He is a hard worker, whether on his lessons, in track, or in football.

BETTY DOWN Commercial 1025 E. Broad Street Red Cross Council (3); Dramatic Club (4); Track Team (3); Christmas Play (4) ; Thanksgiving Play (4). Betty, a dark-haired beauty, wanders about school as everybody's friend, but her real interest lies in dramatics. This class optimist was very fetching as the Maid in Patchwork”. JOHN DRUZEK General Garwood This smiling chap, who gives you the impression that he is very quiet, likes to get others into trouble. John, known as the “Garwood Sheik”, exerts himself only when some one, especially a girl, chases him. When he misses the trolley, he goes home and sleeps. DANIEL DUDLEY College Preparatory 435 Downer Street Finance Committee (2). Daniel would win any contest for the most cheerful person, for he is never without his broad grin. “Dan” is a hard-working senior, too, and one of the most agreeable members of the class. Thirty
