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

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

Ned Bosch er Ari Club (3, Vice-Pres. 1); Cat- alyst Club (3, I): German Evening (2 3, I); Latin Club (2); Slide Rule (4). Whenever we see a tan Ford couch whi zing up Kim Street, we can lie sure that Ned is behind the wheel. Incidentally, he has a habit of leaving the headlights on in broad day- light, Ned docs not find it necessary to wait for spring and the circus to show interest in Ferris wheels Marjorie EUdridge Art (4). Midge”, as she is betlei known to her friends, is a slender beauty with big brown eyes. She is very successful in keeping under cover all outside activity. We've managed to find out that she is scry much interested in California and red Auburn Speedsters. Incidentally Midge is a smooth dancer. Gladys Drew French Club (2, 3, I): Literary Club (I); Latin Club (3); Mask and Mime (2, 3); Senior Play (4); Annual (4). When Gladys looks pensive, it’s because of her innate longing for a widows peak—or that ideal spot Mountain Lake, el populus. Her favorite occupa- tion is caling raspberry ice cream cones ‘ with jitters, please”. Incidentally, she attrib- utes scholastic success (so she says) to lire carrots consumed before retiring William Engesser Chess Club (4); Spanish Club (3, Treas. 4): Golf (3, 4); Latin Club (2): Baseball (2); Senior Day ri It is a real pleasure to have the acquaintance ot dependable Bill. He is a studious fellow who deals only in high marks. He is one ol the class crooners and is especially good while on his way to Plain field on many Friday evenings. IFlata Dwyer trice Club (2. 3); Typists (4): Banner (4): Civic Com, (2): Prom (3); Pin and Ring Com. (4). Although ”Dcde says she pre- fers to go out with girls, “frankly” we think differently as she is usually occupied week- end evenings with other than the female sex. She is one of those peppy members of the Senior Class and has one of those rare smooth” personal- ities which makes her liked by everyone. John Ewing Catalyst Club (3, -f): German Evening (3, I): Latin Club (2); Slide Rule Club (4); Track (2. 3); Senior Day (4). When you see someone scooting around town on a bicycle and causing a great deal of trouble in traffic, you wil usually find it to be John. Studious and dependable, John is one of the serious members of the class and he also engages in lucra- tive work on the side. 24
