LAURENCE CURRIER College Preparatory 581 Westfield Avenue Slide Rule Club (4); Annual (4); Catalyst Club (3, President 4); Senior Play Cast (4); German Night (3, 4). Law” is a quiet, hard-working fellow whose one and only ambition i to become a doctor. He is the possessor of The Inquiring Mind,” according to Mr. Johnson. Larry never lets anything slip by without explanation, a fact which leads us t heiieve that some day he is going to be a big success in life. EDITH DELLA SERRA Commercial Mountainside Typing Club (3); Civic Committee (3); Pin and Ring Committee (4); Glee Club (4). Hdie” is one of the few girls who are gifted with wavy hair. These long tresses would serve their purpose for the part of Juliet when looking for Romeo. We wonder whether Edith sings Down by the Old Mill Stream in her home on Millhaven Road. EDWARD DERGE College Preparatory 215 Tuttle Parkway Treasurer (3); French Club (4); Mask and Mime (2); Catalyst Club (4); Treasurer; Finance Committee Chairman (3): Holiday Plays (2. 4); Senior Play (4); Athletic Committee (4); Athletic Council Treasurer (4); Cheer Leader T2); Football (4); Track (3. 4). Almost any morning at precisely 8:20 one may behold a dashing figure, holding a piece of half eaten toast in one hand and buttoning his shirt with the other, tearing down Cowpcrthwaite hill. You’ve guessed it: it’s Mugger” Derge. the hoy with the perpetual butch.” Besides football and tennis, his interests stray to dark-haired junior cheer leaders. ANTHONY DE SANCTIS Commercial 645 Central Avenue Weather Vane (Bookkeeper 4); Mask and Mime Club (?, 3, 4): Stage Work Club (2. 3. 4): Academic Committee (3); Annual (4): Executive Coommittee (3, 4); Holiday Plays (2, 3, 4); Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Cast: Golf (3. Manager 4). If anyone doubts Tony’s willingness and ability to assume responsibility, please witness his list of activities above. Tony seems to be connected with every activity in school and his devotion to work is almost embarrassing to the people in charge. Good spirit. Tony. DORA DIQUATTRO Commercial 215 Hyslip Avenue Spanish Club (3); Typist Club (3); Academic Committee (2); Annual Committee (4). Dora is not really flirtatious; she is just friendly and enjoys a good laugh. She is active in sports and keeps up the family tradition scholastically. For such a little person Dora is remarkably busy. Her merry eyes and infectious laugh are familiar to many. 20)3-

Fin” is jtist about all the nice thin.es on mir Senior Superlative list. Courteous, dependable, agreeable. n musician— -he’s got everything! Km expects to enter Trenton State in the fall, and she’s sure to be one of their best bets, for in addition to everything else. Em is an A” student. BETTY CROOK College Preparatory Garwood French Club (3, 4). Betty, our bright-eyed, red-headed representative from Garwood, amuses herself by constantly tantalizing Monsieur Gesiici. However, she may well he termed a volatile Frenchwoman, a character which she successfully portrayed in a recent French play. Ye often wonder what she dav-dreains about with those large blue eyes. Some say it’.-Garwood. EVA CROSS College Preparatory Westfield Avenue Glee Cluh (2, 3. 4); Orchestra (2. 3, 4 ; Library Council (2. 3. 4); Literary Club (4). Eva has been with us on and off for many years, and through them we have learned of her musical ability and her infectious good-nature. Cranford, we hear, is her happy hunting-ground and that is where she adjourns to on her week-ends. Whatever college she chooses will find a fine girl and a cheerful worker in Eva. CATHERINE CROW College Preparatory 239 Sinclair Place Spanish Cluo (3. 4): Soccer (2). Cay” is one of the “smoothies” of the class who manages to keep her outside activities pretty much of a secret. She and her side-kick Jo” compare week-end notes in the first period study in the cafeteria Monday morning. She plans to attend school in Argentina next year. We predict that she will make a hit with the Argentines, both male and female. RICHARD CRUIKSHANK Commercial 15 Effingham Place Journalism (2. 3); Civic Committee (4); Baseball (3); Football Manager (2. 3. 4); Track (2. 4); Swimming (4). Dick is best remembered ns the 1934 football manager, dashing on the field every five minutes with his trusty first aid kit. 11 is half-interest in Sherry Haines’ Ford lias also created much interest around school, but for all this Dick’s a good scout after all. A dog which dotes on school is one of Dick’s oals.

ROGER DIXON College Preparatory 915 Carleton Road Glee Club (3. 4); Mask and Mime (3); Debate Club (4); Forum (3. 4); Senior Play Cast (4); Senior Day (4); Athletic Council (4); Basketball (W4); Football ( Y4). Not too ambitious except when prodded, this smoothtongued salesman of the theme song can, when sufficiently urged, p ay a good game of football, play the lead ns the hlackshcop in the role of Richard Dudgeon, the Devil’s Disciple, behave well in chapel, and graduate eventually. MARION DOERRER Co’lege Preparatory 319 Sinclair Place French Club (3. 4); Spanish Club (4); Senior Play (4); Senior Day (4); Tennitjuoit (3). Marion’s interests center on Plainfield, riding, nice clothes, and driving her new Ford. She is one of the Best” dressed girls in the class, and rides like the wind. As for Plainfield. Marion’ toothpaste-“ad smile scents to have done damage there. RUTH DUNN College Preparatory 503 Carleton Road French Club (4); Latin Club (4); Journalism (4); Annual (4); Senior Play Committee (4). Although Ruth was voted the shyest girl in the Senior clas . from what we’ve heard, this doesn’t seem to be true. Her special hobbies are journalism, debating, and dissecting the poor helpless animals in biology, but she really isn’t as bloodthirsty as she sounds. Plainfield has a special attraction for her. We wonder why. JOSEPHINE EDSELL College Preparatory 22 Stoneleigh Park Jo. whose golden ringlets make one want to touch them, is a pink and white southern lass with an accent that is the joy of her classmates. Our fashion plate makes Brother Foose smile when she expatiates on the horrors of life on Fgdon Heath. In the parlance of the South. Jo is mighty sweet.” EDITH EGBERT College Preparatory 249 Kimball Avenue French Club (2. 3, 4»; Latin Club (3); Weather Vane (2. 3, Editor-in-Chief 4); Journalism (2. 3); Red Cross Council (3.

As she has a delightful personality, it is a pleasure to be with her. “Dede” has been an asset t both the Red Cross Council and the Weather Vane” staff. 21
