Kenneth Corne]] We have in our midst a man of great genius, by name. Ken CornelJ. He has delved! into the depths of chemistry, minerals, astronomy, and radio. Radio is his present hobby with which he has talked to many parts of the world including Australia, the hardest to get. Great man. Ren! Leslie Cross Collectors' Club (3): Spanish Club (I): Latin Club (2); Weather Vane ( I): Swimming (4). One of tnose merry Morris dancers of Senior Day fame, Leslie showed that he had con- siderable energy of a sort al- though his fellow seniors were mean enough to term him lazy . Leslies aesthetic sense is quite marked and occasional- ly he turns out a neat little quatrain for the “Weather Vane. Mary Co win Latin Club (2): Mask and Mime Club (3, 1); Senior Play Candy Committee ( I), We herald Mary as the wittiest, .She keeps all classes alive with her clever remarks and witti- cisms. hut she has her serious moments. A member of the famous Ryan. Hely. Cowin Trio, Man keeps things mov- ing. Although she made a beautiful man on Senior Day. we all know her as her own splendid self. Anne Cruikshank French Club (2, 3, I); Latin Club (2, 3): Forum (2, 3, ! Anne’s only regret in leaving Westfield for Texas was that she would miss Senior Day. However, the prospect of n warmer climate and much horseback riding helped to compensate for this and from all reports slue is enjoying her- self immensely. Anne’s giggle and red hair are missed espe- cially by Ted who seemed lost for a time. Incidentally, the Cruikshank dog did not leave with her. Betty Crook German Evening (3, I): Red Cross (2): French Club (3, I); Library Council (2): Sen- ior Play (-1); Academic Com- mittee (4). What did you say, Tippy?’’ was Betty’s favorite line in her characterization of the poetess in the Senior Play. But don't let those dreamy blue eves fool you: she knows all the answers. She says her main interests arc outside of Westfield, but her excellent marks scan to deny that statement. ■Jeannette Ciibberley G. A. C. ('2, 3, President T|. Soccer 2, 3, I): Baseball (2. 3, 1); Cheer Leader (I): Spanish Club (I); French Club (2. 3). Jimis main interest seems to he athletics as is shown by her presidency of the G. A C, and the fact that she expects to continue in this line after cob lege, but we have heard that her heart lies at Pcddie Prep. We've also heard rumors of her interest in an athlete at Westfield High. 21

Dorothy Cameron Catalyst Club (Secretary 4b Glee Club (2. 3. 4); Cheer Leader (4); Soccer (3, 1); G. A. C. (I); Volley Ball (Man- ager 3). Dot is one of the best-looking senior girls and her striking features arc the envy of many. She is known by her cheery greeting for everyone and her personality is “smooth ' Beach Haven, her home in summer, and Westfield will truly he the losers when Dot journeys to California. Morris Carroll El Atcneo (3); Hi’s Eye (News Editor 3» I): Academic Com- mittee (3); Senior Day Pro- gram (4); Swimming (2, 3. Wl). Morris's enforced vacation won him everybody's sympathy. However, Morris dove into school activities with a big splash on his return. He even became the most enthusiastic member of the creative writing group to which he did not be- long and championed the idea of a box social. Josephine Car are] Id Hard work always gains its re- ward, and at the end of every month Jo reaps a rich harvest of AV , I he familiar quota Lion. “Success begins in a fel- low's mind, it‘s all in the state of mind,” seems to apply to her. If you want any typing done, just give it to Jo, for she knows how to make a type- writer perform. William Collins Bill, who is quite a lady’s man, makes one of his extra-curricu- lar activities instructing a fas- cinating Deutsches Maedchen in English. Although he pro- fesses considerable interest in literature, we know he has a scientific mind, for he prefaces every remark with that inquir- ing phrase “How come?” His sartorial splendor dazzles us, for his garb presents a sym phony of harmonious hues. He is very meticulous about blue slips in 101. Harold Carlton El Atcneo (2, 3): Mask and Mime (3. 4); Senior Play Cast (4): Finance (4); Easict Play (4). Our young Clark” Romeo has made a name for himself as an extremely versatile actor. His greatest success was his part in the Senior Play: his most re cent characterization was Slov- skv, a flower shop proprietor. His interests are not entirelv confined to acting—that de- pends on the cast. Betty C omm ell Library Council (2, 3): Latin Chib (2): Forum (3); Ger- man Evening (2, 3, 4): Sen tor Play 4). When there’s a whoop from some obscure, or not so ob- scure corner, Connell” is sure to be there. She's the enlight- ened soul who makes her Eng- lish class tense with expectation as to something to howl at when she recites. Sweet Briar will gain this tall, striking, blue-eyed blonde this fall. 20

Eryanna Cummings German Evening (3, I): Glee Glut) (3, 4); Mask and Mime (2, 3, 4); G. A. C. (4); Sen- ior Play (4); Cheer Leader A future Sarah Bernhardt Fr vanua takes dramatics seriously as one would expect with her ability. We predict her name in electric lights in the near future. We often wonder how this young lady finds the time to participate in so many of the school’s activities and retain her high ratings. Betty Darlington Athletic Council (Secretary 4); Red Cross (2. 3. Vice-Pies, -L; Latin Club (2. 3. 4); Senior Play (4): Hockey (2, 3, 4): Soccer (4). Betty, as Mrs. Oliver, lent sparkle to the Senior Play and made up for the playwrights deficiencies. An engaging per- sonality and a will to work have made her popular with teachers and students. Choos- ing a college seems to give Betty difficulty. Oh that Prince- ton were co-ed! Dorothy Cupitt German Evening (3. I); French Club (2. 3. Secretary 4); Weather Vane (3. -I); Basket- ball {--!); Class Secretary (I); Cheer Leader (4). Cupte has made a fine leader of the Girl Reserve Club. She is an enthusiastic worker and seems to be holding up the tradition of the family. Ask her about the big moment who haunts her every now and then. Anyone who has missed “Cu- pies” cackle when a joke is told has missed a great deal. Edwin Darrell Senior Day Coin. (4): Football (2. 3); Baseball (2); Senior Day Program pi). School seems to be a very bor- ing place for ibis chubby lad except when he gets together with his inseparable cronies. Hennie and Joe Di, I he three cause Miss Brinscr no end ol trouble. Detention, baseball- playing, and taking weekly trips to Elizabeth wiih Art Henscl are Eddie’s favorite pas- r Ernes. Florence Daman Typing Club (4). Florence is an excellent student of the commercial class. Every- one agrees she is lots of fun. Florence is noted for her mem orizing of poems. As she has set a definite goal for herself, we are sure that she will be one of the successful members of the dass. Besides being effi- cient. Florence is a very attrac- tive young lady. Jack Davenport Forum (4); Senior Play (4). Surprised as we were to find Jack behind the footlights in out Senior Play, we liked it. Since then he has seemed al- most a part of us despite the fact that he smiles down on live high school lassies in his sophisticated way and goes in for the older and more experi- enced in affairs of the heart. 22
