COMPLIMENTS OF

The Classes of 1923, 1924 and 1925


H O P E P A L M E R H O P E L E S S

"The worldly Hope men set their hearts upon:"

HO P E is one of the liveliest little bodies we've met. She's always peppy, always cheerful, and above all, always witty. Hope has a horror of having a "cuddly" face so

we wish to announce that she is a tall, angular, severe girl, with a saturnine countenance. Now just gaze on her picture and note the big brown eyes, retrousse nose, and baby mouth. But looks are often deceiving—for Hope, in spite of being the most cherubic looking child in the Senior Class, is a very budding genius. She is distinctly literary and runs to Christopher Morleyan poetry. In fact she has already had her pseudonym (Cosmic Egg) in print. And the books she reads! Ye Gods ! Although she occa-sionally does some light reading in Nietsche and Knut Hamsun, she spends most of her time reading more learned works.

We might also mention, in passing, that Hopeless is our president this year, aside from doing much of the work on the Annual, running the Dramatic Club and arguing philosophy with Mr. Grover.

Plope, we know you will be just as helpful a member of the class of 1926 at

NELSON BOND BONDY

"When Frances Dances with me, IIidly gee!"

NELSON the nock-out. There is no one, sub-freshman or senior, unvictimized by his charm. As he non-chalantly flicks the ball into the basket from the middle

of the floor, how the race-track rattles under the pounding feet of hysterical spectators, how the welkin rings with their en-thusiastic shouts. (We do not know just what a welkin is— but since its in the gym, and rings, it must be something like a dumb-bell.)

Bondy, the Blowout. Have you seen him on the stage in the Assembly Hall giving his delightful performance in the manner of "Shuffle Along"? Best of all, have you seen him lead cheer?

There is no doubt about it, without Nelson the Senior Class —and for that matter the whole High School, would be destitute and so we are sorry for Glen Ridge, since he is leaving it this year, and we rather envy

M A R G A R E T B A I L E Y

"I laugh at most anything."

MA R G A R E T has three very unique characteristics. First, her giggle—which is penetrating and persistent. Any occurrence, ever so slightly out of the ordinary is sure

to provoke it. In chemistry this morning, the gold-fish showed peculiar animation and we had the giggle. Second, we observe her reticence. They say, among the faculty, that they have no student more spontaneous in recitation—"I don't know!" But the odd thing is that she really does know; for when the inexorable "next" has been spoken, with unselfish zeal she prompts her floundering neighbors. Finally, there is that engaging habit of her's of making disparaging remarks in a distinct and far-reaching voice—and the unfair thing about it is that she is never the one to be em-barrassed when these little exclamations are overheard.

If you want ideas as to a fitting life work, Margaret, we'd suggest ventriloquism.

"The importance of being Earnest:"

BEHOLD our Strong- man, capable of lifting two thousand pounds with ease—if he has someone to help him. But don't misjudge our Ernie—he's a budding athlete. You

ought to see him play basketball. He gives a good imitation of an Australian crawl.

And Squeakie is a chemist—a mighty chemist. He trots around the Lab. helping the ladies—, or 'the lady, get her ex-periments done. He's very helpful—to some people.

And how we like his engaging giggle ! In algebra class we are sure to hear a titter, and turning around, discover that Ernest is amusing himself by trying to imitate Ed. AVynn.

But Squeak is clever along other lines, too. His ability as a speller is quite pronounced. When he opens his mouth, the room is silent—breathless. In slow and careful monotone we hear Ernest spell "c—a—t" cat! and we breathe a sight of wonder at his accomplishment.

When he leaves us we're all going up and watch him spell the college out at

"More quiet than no sound."

PL E A S E gaze upon our " P h o t o H o u n d " who saw to it that our pic tures were all in on time to adorn the Annual. Ethe l ' s a mighty good student , and she's a lways ready to

help anyone w h o is stuck in a F rench translat ion, or who doesn' t unde r s t and the Engl ish. Yes, she's a pre t ty clever kid.

A n d E the l has a s t range fondness fo r horses. W e ' v e never seen her pe t t ing them, but that doesn' t mean anything. A n d she likes basketball , too. E v e r y w h e r e the team goes, Ethel is right there wi th her cheering. She 's a good sport, all right.

She 's a lways very busy, and yet she has t ime to take in little trifles like F rench plays or the t r ip to Washington .

W e all wish her the best of luck when she goes canter ing th rough

MARGARET COLSON P E G , P E G G I E

"And all were young, and one was beautiful."

IN Peggy you see the saving grace of the Senior Class. Among eleven girls she is the only one with an established claim to. flapperism. Proportionately, we are proud of her. She

is our prize beauty, and the best dressed girl in the class. Her sweaters bid fair to surpass the "color organ" in synthetic beauty.

Come take a seat in the back of the Girls' Study Hall some day. Watch her, and save the price of admission to the neighbor-hood play house.

Margaret is famous for her dancing. Great is her reputation as a humorist, also—any of the members of her English class— and many others—can bear witness to the truth of that statement.

And loveliest characteristic of all, is Peggie's self-sacrificing spirit. She never objects to having a date every night in the week (nobly jeopardizing her beauty sleep) and to burning mid-night oil and gas in a Buick—house-hunting, n'est-ce pas. Peg?


E D N A M A Y JOHNSON EDNA, ED

" (jive me a Pain!"

EDNA has only been with us for two years, but it seems like four because of her friendliness. She was very quiet during her Junior year and spent most of her time

with the "Sophs" and "Freshies," so we were unable to keep tabs on her.

Recently, before school, Edna has been a regular chatter box. Miss Olds now has to keep her eyes glued in Edna's direction to prevent a disturbance.

If anyone should take a peek at Edna before fourth period on Thursdays, she would see this young maiden powdering her nose behind her desk top. Oh! I shouldn't have told, for Edna begged me to keep it a secret!

The basketball teams wouldn't have known what to do if Edna had not been there. Seeing Edna on the left hand side of the gym certainly encouraged the teams and how they would play and win! Not only does she attend the home games, but she always has her car packed full to take to the "away games."

If anyone happens to pass in the corridor by the Boys' Study Hall between second and third periods, look out for a boy dashing around there in order to speak to Edna. Don't blush, Ed. be-cause they all know who he is.

Edna won't tell us what she intends to do after leaving High, but we know she will be successful in whatever she undertakes.


C A R O L I N E F O R D H E R N I B S , C A R O E

"Uncertain, coy, and hard to please."

THIS is the lady who censored the first quotation we chose for her—a well-nigh perfect one—demanding something more subtle. If we meet with any opposition in regard

to this later choice, we have a little list, all ready. But. we are warning you, Caroline—.

We would not have you think her always stubborn; for we believe that upon occasion she is the most yielding of mortals! And her virtues are boundless. She is a very ardent Spanish student. She is the most accomplished manager of our number. Gym classes, plays, committee meetings—she can direct them all at once with both hands tied, successfully. And her industry in chemistry lab ! Marvelous ! (We should think the expense would be terrible; but perhaps your staff of assistants is not salaried.) Eh, what, Carol?

We, with our crude sensibilities, are quite incapable of ren-dering a subtle and adequate summary of Carol's personality. So, very tritely, we will call her "The beloved of all man-kind" and wish her all the luck in the world at

M A T H I L D A P E L L E R TILLIE

"A violet 'neath a mossy stone/'

HE R E is the only girl in the Senior Class with bobbed hair. Take a good look at her picture because the remaining ones will be sedate Seniors with long hair. Never mind,

Tillie, if you did spoil the Seniors' reputation. We were all glad to see the "cootie garages" go, and we all think it is an im-provement.

Tillie was not active in the past, but didn't she rack her brain for the St. Patrick's Day entertainment. She is responsible for the clever (?) way it was presented.

There is one thing Tillie excels in, and that is Spanish. My! to hear her speak and to read the Spanish newspapers, one would think she had lived in Spain all her life.

Let me warn you people, never get Tillie talking about her "boy friends" and dates" because she will never stop. You won't even have a chance to ask her which one she likes best. Which one is it, Tillie?

When Tillie completes her course as secretary all the busi-ness men will want her to help run their offices.

M O N T C L A I R S E C R E T A R I A L S C H O O L


RALPH ROCKHOLD DUKE

"He's tough, man, tough and devilish sly"

THE other half of the Gold Dust Twins stands before you. We always think of the Bible when we see Ernest and Ralph together—"Consider the lilies of the field, they

toil not, neither do they spin. Yet Solomon in all his glory is not arrayed as one of these." Just note the strapped shoes when you see these blossoms.

We have been strongly warned not to mention a saxaphone in connection with Rockhold, but we are a girl and cannot keep a secret, so we just had to let you know of his accomplishment. Never mind, Ralph, altho we've never heard you play we don't doubt that you carol under ladies' windows beautifully.

We admit that as an actor you're a knockout. You can look embarrassed and fussed on a stage as well as off and you do look simply too cute in that sailor suit. As Mr. Fish would say—"Hay que divino!" P R I N C E T O N

GLEN RIDGE SENIOR ANNUAL, 1922 Page Seventeen

"And Solomon had a thousand rvives." ££ ¥ 'M the Sheik of Glen Ridge High and yon can see me airing

jt my harem any day." Homer's not par.icular whose car he does it in, either. It may be his own car, Agamemnon,

or perhaps Ophelia Bumps, or even Hirsutus. For Hcrner is town chauffeur. He's always ready to run a car, whether it be a 1914 Ford or 1922 Packard. And we can assure you that he is an authority on how to start a balky engine.

But the most noticeable thing about Homer is his attraction for the opposite sex. Somehow he is very seldom without a girl, and he takes great delight in wearing a new one every day. We have to admit, Homer, that you do it very well. There is very little jealousy among the ladies, concerning your affections.

Two of Homer's most important characteristics are his dislike for work and his cheerful disposition. He never does any work unless absolutely necessary, and he never gets peeved. Oh of course, he has an occasional fight or two (in Spanish class, perhaps), but he always comes up smiling. And he gets away with some pretty good marks, too, in spite of his—er—a—con-stitutional inertia.

And Homer, we can all say to you that the Lord loves you if you ever feel homesick at D A R T M O U T H


BEATRICE SMITH BEA, BEETS

"So buxom, blithe and debonair!"

WERE we merely precocious members of the Freshman Class we would just say "Teacher's pet! Teacher's pet! Teacher's pet!" and be content to let the matter

rest there. However, we must show a measure of dignity. Isn't it wonderful the way Beatrice studies during the sixth

period? Her eyes behind their tortoise-shell rimmed spectacles, fairly glisten with concentration, while Miss Baldwin beams fondly down from her throne upon the dais in the Girls' Study Hall. And seventh period shows the results—"I assume that none of you but Beatrice knows her lesson. I can always depend upon her!" But, Beatrice you're due to lose your hard-earned reputation, at least among your classmates, if you don't stop flirting so outrageously with the little boy across the aisle in English class!

"List, lady, be not coy!"

FIRST and foremost in our Hall of Fame conies Louise. But we are nearly as jealous as we are proud of her. In spite of her unfailing "My dear. I had to do the whole thing at

sight. I hadn't prepared a word." Tootsie is to be our valedic-torian. Do you wonder that we others who slave for a 70 feel a bit discouraged?

Another of Louise's talents is her girlish gamboling (110, we do not refer to her indubitable talent for poker). We understand that her playful pep has intrigued several members of the faculty. (This is not exclusively a fish story) and we know that it has made class-room attendance not only bearable, but popular for fourteen other Seniors.

We hope she'll acquire as good a reputation at V A S S A R


ETHEL W A L L A C E WALLY-WETHEE. "Thy soul ivas like a star and dwelt apart."

W ETHEL is neither rhyme nor reason. She does not fit into a metrical synthesis of the Senior Class. She is a bit of Very Free Verse. • Her devoted heart is in

East Orange, her unwilling person in Glen Ridge—on the whole, she is neither here nor there. However, we are very much in love with her, although it took us sometime to arrive at an appreciation of her true value. When she joined us in 1921 we elected her Vice-President immediately, but our knowledge of her was really only superfacial (apologies to Mr. Anibal), and it took us the better part of a year to see between and below the freckles. Now we have made some discoveries. The lady can manage anything from a Treasurer's account through an "Annual,"—that is, any-thing except her temper. She is that star to which 1922 might well hitch its wagon. But we warn everyone who would care to take a ride that the trip might not be too comfortable. If we know Ethel, there would be short cuts and rough roads. Ethel will get there, and she will get there first, but those who would ac-company her are advised to provide themselves with shock ab-sorbers.

"My life is one demned horrid grind."

OUR very able basketball manager! How often have we seen her coming to school, dropping oranges along the way! But in spite of the deficiencies in the team's

"food," she has made a very successful season. Flintsy has "bows" from every college. When we see her

wearing green, we know Dartmouth has had another victory. If it is red, we know it is Harvard. But when she comes to school wearing long grey and blue streamers, we have a vague feeling that she will shortly be seen riding gaily along in a little red Buick roadster, accompanied by . well, we really couldn't say whom, for his features are entirely eclipsed by his huge red mustache.

Besides being a charming girl, Florence is a very good student. She always knows her French, and her Latin trans-lations—well, "variety is the spice of life."

We know, Flints, that your reputation will be carried along at

THE Girls' Basketball Team deserve a great deal of credit this year. They have worked hard and devoted many afternoons for their captain, Priscilla. Under the skillful coaching of Miss Hart, the Girls' Basketball Team was able to beat Bloomfield, both on their court and ours. Although the

team lost more games than they won, it was by a small score. Next year the team is going to win every game that they play.

THE season of 1921-22 has been one of the most successful, if not the most successful, that any Glen Ridge team has ever had. The team scored 741 points, and held their opponents to 537 points. They won thirteen games, and lost only seven—which is a fine record considering the class of the teams

on the schedule. Glen Ridge made the season a double success by defeating Bloomfield twice by scores of forty-three to twenty-eight, and thirty-five to twenty-four. This is the first time in six years that a Glen Ridge team has succeeded in defeating Bloomfield.

There are six letter men this year: Captain Kenneth Paine, Mylod, Bond, Ailing, Wilson and Mar-tindale. These men deserve great praise for the hard work they put into their efforts before and after

the season. The team wishes to express here

its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Cartmill, for it was due to his hard and unceasing efforts that the season was a success.
