President); Band (2, 3. 4); Literary (2. 4); Annual (4); Executive (3); Finance (2); Holiday Plavs; Senior Play (4); Baseball (2. 3. W4). Tall. dark, and handsome, he captivates the women with his thoughtful, studious, and manly air. “Ollie has accomplished all that is a high school boy's aim: he keeps the A’s and tii girls rolling in. and he also toots a “mean” horn. JANICE HAVILAND College Preparatory 710 Lawrence Avenue Spanish Club (3, 4); G’ce Club (2, 4); Annual (4); Senior Day (4); Senior Play (4). Janice, one of the school's famous twins, holds the world’s record for the largest and widest run in silk stockings. John is always around to brighten up the lulls with her hearty “hellos” and her ever-present grin. She made an impressive monarch on Senior Day and was a.so “beautiful soup.” BETTY HAVILAND College Preparatory 710 Lawrence Avenue Pin and Ring Committee (2); Soccer (4); Basketball (3); Senior Day Program (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Annual (4); Spanish Club (3, 4). The Senior Class’s voting Betty the class bluffer seems to suggest the best way to describe this half of the Havi-lauds. Betty’s idea of worthy use of leisure time seems to be to recuperate on Miss Swift’s couch, but this is only during school hours. So far, no hidden talents have been discovered in the “handsome duke,” but there’s still hope. MILDRED HECKEL Commercial Summit Road Glee Club (2). Mil,” who is a very quiet girl, is disinclined to hurry. Whenever we see her, she is leisurely walking through the hall, a picture of unruffled calm. Quickness of mind characterizes this good sport and loyal friend so well liked by her chums. ARTHUR HENSEL College Preparatory 938 Ripley Avenue Art is the blond-haired boy who may he seen pushing his hike while delivering papers around Westfie.d and Picton. especially Picton. It seems as though he has a special interest in the latter place. Art and his pal, “Steve Brodie” McIntyre, may he seen on any Saturday night calmly sitting in the Kit . viewing with pleasure the antics of Cab Calloway or. perhaps, the doings of “The Bride of Frankenstein.” 28 ►-

PRESTON GROVE Commercial 712 South Avenue Pin and Ring Committee (4); Senior Play (4); Annual Picture Committee (Chairman 4). Here is the boy who enticed more than two hundred people to face the camera m the luxurious studios of our old friend. Mr. McCutcheon. Although a modest and diffident person. Preston certainly had a way with him as you can see by the result. This slender youth transformed himself into such a perfect Aunt Jemima on Senior Day that our mouths fairly watered. ROBERT HAHN College Preparatory 803 Carlton Road Forum (President 4); Senior Play (4); Football (4); Tennis (4): Track (4). Although Bob lias been with us only a year, everybody knows and likes him. Riverton’s l« s seems t » lie West field's gain. Bob's sense «»t humor is unique to say the least. After any harrowing experience he is liable to have a nightmare. Bob going to he a doctor and is busy cultivating that bedside manner.” ARBA HAMM General 517 Dorian Place Orchestra (2. 3); Civic Committee (2). Arba is a quiet spoken fellow whose passion is baseball (what a lot of baseball fans we have in our class!). His collection of baseball pictures rivals even Floyd Wilke’s We understand Arba is interested in the movies, too. WYNNE HANDY College Preparatory 721 Bradford Avenue Debate Club (3, 4); Forum (3, 4). Wynne is one of our oldest and best cared for seniors. As a member of our successful debating team. Bill” lias made a name for himself. He might appear to some people as a good doorman, especially in bis Russian smock, but lie really lias a tender heart for a wandering Sheapard. FRANKLIN HARDCASTLE College Preparatory 510 Mountain Avenue Red Cross Council (2); Annual (4); Athletic Council (2); Football (2, 3. VV and Manager 4); Tennis (2, V3. 4); Track (3). Frank keeps us in wonder as to his frequent jaunts to Old Greenwich. Conn. Rumor tells us that the beautiful scenery along the Hudson on the train ride up is not the reason for his wanderings. His favorite sports arc playing tennis and giving three loud blasts on bis horn in front of Wychwood School. 4 27

ROBERT HEPS General 236 Edgewood Avenue Slide Rule C lub (2. 3. President 4); Academic Committee (2. 3); Banner Committee (4). Bob. president of the Slide Rule Club, is a very bashful bov. This pink-cheeked lad has an unexpected attitude toward girls. We wonder what it is—he certainly has a tollow-me-lass look in his eye! Bob is very much interested in the Indian Forest development, for which his father is architect. JANET HIGH College Preparatory 524 Highland Avenue Palin Club (2. 3, Secretary 4); Spanish Club (3); Glee Club (2. 3); Band (3. 4): Mask and Mime (2); Catalyst (4); Holiday Plays (2. 3): Lancelot and Elaine (4). No matter whether it's 40 above or 20 below, as long as there's ice. you'll find Janet skating. Janet has been the only one to have the honor of rebuking Percy Grainger about thumping on the piano. We assure you she was very young! Her smile and hearty laugh are very contagious, despite any gloomy circumstances. Belonging to that group of seniors old enough to drive, Janet is often seen whizzing around town in her station wagon. EDWARD HILL College Preparatory 302 Harrison Avenue Aviation Club (2, Secretary-Treasurer 3); Slide Rule Club (4); Civic Committee (3): Senior Play Committee (4); Football (2. 3. 4): Track (2. 3, W4). This blond young track and football man has recently cultivated a taste for loud socks and ties. His secret ambition is to become an engineer and build big bridges and skyscrapers. Ed spends much of his time at the V” as secretary-treasurer of one club and a member of several others. ELIZABETH HILL General 641 Maple Street Library Council (3, 4); Annual (4). Elizabeth's long periods of illness have made us know her less well than we should have liked. She is never talkative in class, but we hear she can he almost a tomboy at home although she has the very feminine gifts of sewing and knitting especially well. JEANNE HILL College Preparatory 503 Carleton Road German Evening (3. 4); French Club (2. 3. 4»; Glee Club (3, 4); Forum (4); Catalyst (4); Annual (4); Senior Play (4); Hockey (3). This hardened Arctic explorer of the chemistry class, although quiet, is very versatile. Fond of hiking, dancing, reading and charlotte russes, she has something to do at all times. In her brighter moments, which are quite frequent. extremely enlightening comments on life in general are often forthcoming. --5(29
