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. We expect to sec him conic zooming met West field in his plane someday when lie tires of his dusty flivver. I damae Harms Collectors Club (2, 3.

Our little Harlow has vari- ous interests among which arc Maine, the home town, and the future. Although Idie tries very hard to understand jokes, alter five minutes it’s time to say.

Helen Hardgrove Catalyst Club (1); El Ateneo (2, 3); Forum (J); Orchestra (2, 3, 1): Mask and Mime 3, 4); Slide Ride (4). Helen, better known in school as Bish . can easily he iden- tified l y her rippling Hello . She enjovs toting innumerable high-school ites from place to place in her car. She is rather hesitant about Sweets because of her complexion, but her in- dulgence therein seems to have made her quite radiant. Edwin Harvey Civic Committee (3, I); English Play (3). 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. Henry Harley Catalyst Club (3. 4): German Evening 12. 3, 4): Literary Club fl); Civic Committee (4): Christmas Play (4); Swimming AV2. W3, Wl). Hank , our swimming cap- tain and a mighty fine one at that, claims the present object of his affections is a certain blonde sophomore. I'Ins being an excellent menu in, he is the possessor of a dry sense of humor. We hear Hank plans lo bell-hop at I lie Waldorl sloria next year. Good luck, ’’Hank . Thomas Hastings German Evening (2. 3, 1): Glee Club ft): Band (2, 3, I): Orchestra (2, 3): Slide Rule (3, I): Academic Com, (3); Golf ' (1). 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

Best dressed and “most so phisttcalcd” is the class verdict in regard to “Bel) —and not misplaced cither. Where would the Junior Anx. be without her? And where would she be without that thatch of brown curls ant! her toothpaste smile: Beb“, incidentally is a whiz on the tennis courts. Newton Hager Catalyst (3. 4); Collectors Club (2, 3, I); German (3, 4); French Club 2. 3, 4); Senior Play Com. (4). We all admired Newton's smooth Last-Indian complexion under his satin turban on Sen- ior Day. 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!

W4). “Sherry whose motto seems to be “Never hurry, never worry , is endeared to all because of his witty remarks and quick comebacks. “Sherry's chief weaknesses are Fords, muscle builders, and small blondes. 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. Al- ways he has been a tower of strength on stage committees, especially for the Senior Play. The baseball diamond lures Frank every spring and he is a fine ball player. Ethel Hanna Art Club (2, 3, 4): French Club (2, 3); El Ateneo (4); Mask and Mime (4); Academic Com, (3, 4): Annual ( !). “Billie may appear to be quiet and dignified, but those who know her will certainly dis- agree.

Lefty , besides being the pride of second period English class, is outstanding in all athletics and swings a mean hockey slick. Her personality plus her su per-swell sportsmanship have made her the most popular girl. Slie will be remembered for her graceful dancing.

Pres. 4): Band (2, 3); Weather Vane (3, Bus- iness Manager I); Golf (3, I): Class Vice-president (I). This prolicient linguist and master of English composition certainly ‘‘Ransom to fulfill the provisions of last year's will. As chief candy dispenser at football games, Joe had many a fair helper, and a banker father to count the shekels Many people do not know that Joe excels in sketching. Arthur Hen.s el Adam has an ardent interest in Cranford. He also likes to play baseball and go to the movies in Cranford, of course. When Adam finds himself in a drug Store, his first thought is of the telephone booth. Our query is Why the glass of milk per day?” We haven’t really seen much of Arthur this year, not only because of Cranford but also because of his recent appendectomy. Charles Heaney This mysterious youth came, conquered, a u d va n i s h e d . Charles real I looked like o.ur idea of a Hungarian count and Prince Otto had nothing on him. A clever lad. he shone in all his classes: hut longing for the metropolis from which he came, he returned to New York where he had formerly been a student at DcWitt Clin- ton High School. Charles Hilferty Football (2. 3. 4); Track (2. 3. 1): Indoor I rack (2. 3. 4): Senior Day (I); Catalyst Club (3).

He is not only i hunter and fisherman, but a ski ter of note. 30
