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

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

Betty Davis Forum (4); Soccer (4): Gym Pageant (4). “Davy came to us from Illi- nois leaving behind a multi- tude of friends and making twice as many here. She is an ardent participator and spec- tator in all sports. We all en- jov “Davy’s generosity as hot always “too-crowded” car testi- fies. We real I v wish you had been with us longer. “Davy”. Joseph Da Francisco Football (2, W3); Track (W2, W3): Basket bail (2. W3.WI); Athletic Council (S. 4). Although somewhat diminiiiive. Joe is one »1 our best athletes and his decision not to play football was a blow to the team. He is one of the popular mem- bers of the class on the ath- letic field and in the classroom. Being somewhat boisterous. Joe ranks as Miss Pel ton's pest in ilie bookkeeping class. Mary Davis Collectors Club (3, 4); German Evening (2. 3, 4): Glee Club (2, 3); Literary Club (4). Perhaps the postman is puzzled by the many odd postmarks arriving at the Davis home, for Mary has friends in many odd corners of the world. Airplanes also feature in Mary's hobbies. She is fond of life at the sea- shore and has a phobia against chemicals. .She is very inde- pendent and has a robust sense of humor. Rose Da Maio Art (2, I): Civic Committee (2); Senior Play f4). Dark brown hair, dark eyes and a cheery greeting characteri e Rose. Her brunette waves ate the ambition of many of its. especially on those “misty moisty mornings that occur so frequenti)'- Roses ambition is to be an expert hairdresser. Her lovely designs are always seen around in the art room. Howard Dietz Catalyst Club (I); Collectors Club (2): Tennis Team W4). This c]tii-et chap, an amateur carpenter of note, an ardent tennis player, and a lover of pipes, really ought to go in for golf, for his bosom friends would make an agreeable four set me. This bridge fiend is a noble defender of womankind as proved bv his masterly de- fence of the beautiful Kustacia in first period English class. Bentiley Dodd Weather Vane (-!);• Civic Com. (3) ; Football (4): Senior Day (4) . Bentley is the strong silent man of out illustrious class. With his undiscovered football abil- ity he was a great asset to the “f?” squad. We wonder if he aspires to be a great Olympic hero, as he has written his essay about the Olympic games Romance for Bentley is found in Plainfield, 23
