Newton Hager Catalyst (3. 4); Collectors Club (2, 3, I); German (3, 4); French Club 2. 3, 4); Senior Play Com. (4).

However, in everyday life, Newton pursues the in- ti icades of chemical engineer- ing in Mr. Johnson's lab. Al- though quiet, he is a lover of a good joke, if that twinkle in his eye is any indication. We predict a successful career for this young scientis) Marguerite Haas Basketball (Captain 2); Base- ball (2); Soccer (2); Hockey (2): Athletic Com, (2). Oh, faithful is her love, and how patient is her Charlie as he spends many a long dav in school waiting for her!

He enjoys singing a great deal, and members of the French Club certainly enjoyed hearing (or seeing) him sing the duck song. Fr.amlk Ha fer bier Baseball (2, W3. W4): Senior Play Committee (3, 4). Frank, a studious and verv de- pendable fellow , has often been Mr. Faust's right-hand man. Last year lie made his debut as an actor, filling the role of Dr. Manette very acceptably.

Irving Ham en Irving has been known to his friends since junior high days as ’ Slick ’, because of the man- ner in which he tries to comb his stubborn wavy locks. Hr is quiet and retiring though we hear he is intensely inter estecl in aeroplanes. Wherever von find 'Slick', von may be pretty sure his little flivver has been instrumental in getting him there.

I): Ger- man Evening (2. 3, 4): Glee Chib (2); Library Council (2. 3. I); Civic Committee ? ): Senior Play Committee f-1).

Ed’s a friendly fellow who does- n’t object to going out of his way to help a pal, English is Iiis major trouble around school, but it never gets him completely under. As for his romantic interests, we know very little since he is so very quiet, but we hear lie used to go to Bergen field, Perhaps he is a chameleon in his affec- tions.

Hank , our swimming cap- tain and a mighty fine one at that, claims the present object of his affections is a certain blonde sophomore.

Those who are acquainted with Pommy will agree that he has developed a laugh which we think is a cross between a monkey’s and a donkey’s. His great ambition is to report to fourth period German class on lime. We admit that he plays the sax and clarinet extremely well. 29
