Bet she gets it from that drummer she spends so much time with. WALTER SMITH General “SmiUy” “ Men of few words ore the best men Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 4. Smitty is the handsome lad from Westminster. Although a lot of girls would like to know him better, nobody can understand Walter's not having a girl friend—or two. He certainly attracts them, but then, they say “by keep- ing them off, you keep them on. RICHARD STEVENS General “ Dickie A truly modest fellow Junior Prom, 3. 'I’he quietest, most modest hoy in the class. Ichabod doesn’t say much, hut we can bet he does a lot of thinking. lie's another one to answer Uncle Sam’s call, this time to the Navy. Best of Luck, Dick! ROBERT STOWELL General “Bob “ I're heard the chimes at midnight Whether it's Keene or Bellows Falls, it's not often that Boh is without a girl; the worst part of it is that he never has the same one. With his two “Cronies, Jack and Bud, Boh gets around. We wonder why you make your daily trip out of doors after cafeteria.

First he lets an eighth grader cut him out; now he’s afraid he’ll have one of his best friends down on him if a certain senior girl doesn’t stop flirting with him.

Kenny’s interest can be found in the Junior Class, and although he’s had quite a lot of competition, he is doing all right for himself. We wonder where you get all the gas to go running around. You can’t do that in the Air Corps, Ken. HELEN TOUSSAINT General 2 ” “ Better three hours too soon than a minute too late Basketball, 1, 4; Blood Plasma Bank Drive, 4 With just whom do you go, Helen, or do you like them all? You spend so much time with the Wing Scouts and your other duties that we don’t see how you have time for anything else. Perhaps that's why you spent so much of your Sociology period writing letters.
