EILEEN ADAMS General 602 Prospect Street Library Council (4). “Eileen, declared one of the faculty, “does not take her nose from her hooks from the time she arrives at school until she rocs home. In addition to this, she is always helping others in as many ways as possible. Some of her favorite pastimes are going to the movies, reading Movie Magazines, and playing bridge. Eileen plans to attend a secretarial school. RICHARD ANDERSON College Preparatory 544 Raymond Street Chess Club (4); Orchestra (2, 4); Band (2. 3, 4); Slide Rule C ub (3); Catalyst Club (3, 4): Academic Committee (4); Senior Day Program (4). This lad from Missouri. Berwyn, and points west knows how to'blow that well-known instrument of torture, the “sax. A quiet youth, he lets his warbling and playing speak for him.

Although at times Dot’s eyes get her into trouble, they make her we 1 liked by everyone There are few more devoted sisters than Dot; in fact, she seems as fond of Tom as she does of the owner of one of those blue and yellow Fords that hang around Walnut Street, and that’s saying something. We can't blame Ed, for Dot is one of the prettiest girls it the class. THOMAS H. AYLING General Mountainside Archeological Society (3, President 4); Aviation Club (3); Civic Committee (Chairman 4); Senior Play (4); Swimming (3, W4); Senior Day Program (4). This blond hero from Mountainside, singer of “Roses of Picardy. stuck a feather in his hat and vodeled good old mountain music. Whether it is studying, acting the part of Major Swindon in The Devil’s Disciple, swimming, or making lamps. Tom can be counted on to do a good task we’.I. LAURENCE BARKER College Preparatory 748 E. Broad Street Spanish Club (3. 4); Banner Committee (Chairman 4); Holiday Play Committee (2, 3); Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Committee (4). The girls all agree that Larry is the ‘'smoothie” of West-field High. We can expect Larry to blossom out some day as an admiral or a general, since he's always masquerading as a British army officer or a sea captain. And isn’t he handsome that way? Or any way? 12} -

MARIAN E. BARTHOLOMEW College Preparatory 554 Birch Avenue Orchestra (2. 3. Assistant Librarian 4); Band (3. Librarian 4); All State Orchestra (3. 4). Here's a girl who doesn’t have to say “Pardon My Southern Accent” for hers is so perfect that it’s a pleasure to hear her sweet “Hello.” Although she has been with us for only two years, Marian has done a good job in capturing the hearts of many people, especially that red-headed dynamo. Mr. Warner keeps her busy acting as librarian for the band, as well as tooting on her flute. ALFRED BAUMANN College Preparatory 217 Benson Place Orchestra (4): Band (2. 3, 4); Mask and Mime Club (2. 3. 4); Red Cross Council (3); Senior Play Cast (4); Football (3. 4). “Abie” is our mighty man of the happy smile and hearty laugh who plays the trombone. He loves to talk and argue: therefore he lias l»een in several plays and debates. He is often identified by his red hair and his green Pontiac, both of which are frequently seen on Birch Avenue. Versatile “Abie” will make good as a lawyer, orator, politician, or great lover. ALICE E. BECKER Commercial 867 North Avenue Collectors Club (4); Hockey (2. 3): Soccer (2. 3); Annual (4); Civic Committee (2); Senior Play (4). Alice is a great kidder, and a good walker. She can kid as well as be kidded, and is one of the most cheerful persons in the school. Shorthand is the bane of Alice’s existence: there always seems to he a shorthand test in the offing. Just the same. Alice will make sonic boss the proverbial pretty and efficient stenographer. GEORGE BECKER College Preparatory 459 Channing Avenue Athletic Council (2): Basketball (2, V3, 4); Football ( V2. 3. 4): Track (2. V3, V4). Jutsev, one of our major athletes, startled the town on Senior Day when he appeared as an incredibly museubular Tarzan, clutching his spiked club in one hand and dragging his shrinking little mate with the other. In addition to possessing Beowulf's virtues and Apollo’s dimple. (leorge is a good student who makes special reports in English every week. JOHN W. BEHRENS. JR. College Preparatory 919 Irving Avenue Collectors Club 2): Baseball (3, 4): Basketball (2, 4): Football (2, 4): Outdoor Track (2); Indoor Track ( Y4). Johnny is noted for his sincerity, doggedness and frankness. If you should ask anyone on the athletic squads who is the pluckiest and most full of tight, it’s usually Johnny. He does not spend all his time on sports, however, for lie i extremely interested in his coin collection. Johnny, in the opinion of everyone, is just plain “swell.” 13
