Super-scholar, author, and playwright is Dcanie , master of all trades, jack of none. As a side line, she delights in Winchctling down the smallest due. Dcanie produces a pleasant chuckle and very dry humor. She has a low voice which makes what she says mysterious. JOHN DEAS Solemn Sam , as John is called by his intimate friends because lie is so unobtrusive, has won an enviable reputation as a roller-skater. During the summer, Seaside Heights was the scene of his activities, while now his interests center around Roselle.

Playing the piano, presiding over the Literary Club, and debating in the Forum arc only a few of the many activities Helen engages in.

CHARLES DOERRER Football (2. 3); Track (2, 3); Golf (2); Slide Rule Club 3). A ready laugh and a genial smile announce this handsome senior.

HELEN CUTTER Latin Club (2); Photoplay Club (2, 3); Red Cross Council (3, 4); Christmas Program (3, 4); German Evening (3); Literary Club (4). When she rushes around in her black Chevie , this slender blonde angel might more justifiably be called a speed demon, though those who really know Helen call her a grand girl. From her frequent attacks of laryngitis we’d say that there’s something speechless about Helen. BETTY DANNER Typing Club (2, 3, 4); Basketball (3, 4 ; Glee Club (3). Betty reminds us of Texas sunshine, with her golden blonde hair and soft Southern accents. She manages t« • find friends wherever she goes.
