Charles Bingham Football (3), Charles is the tall blond lad who is causing many heart breaks in Cranford these days. ve hear. Fie is quiet about school, Imi lie and a certain red-head arc the bane of Mi Johnson’s existence in fourth period. He is a good scout in more wavs than one.

Fred is a nautical-minded youth w ho owns his own racing crafts, and thoroughly enjoys sailing the blue. During school semesters lie acts as the mam- stay of the band, though wc don’t know just how he man- ages both the horn and Alice Jean at the same time. Daniel Bliwise Baseball {2. 3. 1). Although Dan looks prelcr- naitirallv wise behind those spectacles, those long-lashed blue eyes flash fire when he is engaged in combat with Alvin C.ordts. much to Miss Bordner's tlismav. Dan’s dependability as a baseball pitcher is a big asset to the Leant, for he surely can twirl that ball superbly. As Dan has a penchant for return- ing to Mountainside before school is over, his blue slips keen teachers in a fret. Edith Beyer French Club (2. 3, 4); Latin (2); Mask and Mime (2, 3); Hockey (3): Soccer (3). F.dic” is a staunch Princeton and Pingry rooter and woe be- tide anyone’s saving a word against either of these institit - tiems of learning!

Her big moments arc out of town. Winifred Briant Soccer (2); Annual Typist (4). Winnie is the one who always managed to get her book re- ports in on time although she wrote them while they were be- ing collected. She is a lover of variety, even when it comes to her masculine friends. We have noticed that Winnie seems to prefer brunettes in the fall and blondes in the winter. Her friends blame Al for the fact that she is so sleepy on Mon- days. In her checkered dress and hairbows, Winnie made a fetching little girl on Senior Day. Knthe Bredov French Club (2); Literary Chib (3 V Mask and Mime (2, 3); German Evening 2, .3, 4); Civic Committee (3, 1).

Walter is well known for his vivid accounts of the prowess of A Vest field's eleven. As man ager of football and storekeeper for basketball and swimming, he has been found very depend- able. If he can find no better place for sleeping, he is willing to recline upon the ash can :u the rear of the auditorium. Virginia Brown German Evening (2, 3. 4); Lit era re Club (3, I): Band (2, 3, 4); Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Slide Rule (4): Basketball U, 4). Next to ‘GinnyV scholastic ability her smile is her greatest asset. She is full of life and all winter is an active participant in school sports and a valuable asset to both band and orches- tra.
