Although a mighty hunter “Gib” often goes out of bis way to be kind to animals. In the home, he has a decided leaning toward antiques, mostly of past wars.

Tom seems to spend most of his time trying to keep from showing off his many talents as evidenced by his refusals to tap dance, sing, or crack jokes. Our co-humor editor has a mania for drawing grotesque Mexicans and prize-fighters which often adorn our blackboards and scare innocent teachers out of a year's growth. JANE FULLERTON College Preparatory 237 Sylvania Place Although for the past few months Jane has deserted us for Linden Hall, we still claim her as a member of our class. We remember her as an obliging, happy-go-lucky Jane tearing around corners in her big Auburn, or as a tall, slender, piquant Jane, with a marvelous ability to keep her small (very small) voice going continually. And thinking over Jane—well—she just couldn’t belong to any other school but Westfield High. We wouldn’t let her.

Her passion is the movies. Ginna” keeps the French 111 class in a perpetual state of good humor with her infectious giggle, created over nothing at all. SHIRLEY GAULT Commercial 617 Embree Crescent Typing Club (2); Annual Committee (Chairman 4). If you saw an efficient person dashing around from Mr. boose to the typing-room, from the typing-room to Mr. Foose the first semester, it was Shirley.

Al. the inspiration ul Mr. Allen’s Latin IV class, is a piano bend. It lias been suggested that be instab a piano in bis Ford so that the church organ and school piano might have a rest.

CARL FILSINGER College Preparatory 1114 Grandview Avenue Debate Club (2, 3): Forum (3, 4); Chess Club (4); Swimming (3. Captain 4). Carl is another backbone »-t the swimming team, and proof of his ability in the pool is shown by his election as captain this year.

VERNON FLAMMER General 718 South Avenue Debate Club (3); Forum (4): Civic Committee (4). Vcrnie” or •‘Jasper.” one of the tallest boys in the class, spends most of his time prancing on a foaming steed through the winding trails of the Watchung Reservation or around the track at the Armory.

FOGARTY College Preparatory 243 Hazel Avenue Holiday Plays (3): Prom Committee (3); Senior Play Cast (4): Athletic Council Treasurer (4); Football Manager (2. 3. W4); Golf ( Y2, 3. 4).

RUTH GLASSER General 118 East Broad Street Where are you going my black-haired miss? Pm of! to Alaska, sir. she said.
