With her red hair and bright eyes, you would expect her to have a very fiery temper, but, when you know her, you find out differently, for she is very kind, good-natured and friendly. And we owe Polly a vote of thanks for the swell parties we’ve had at the Perrier apartment. She is here, there and every- where. Polly has plenty of spirit and what it takes to become a friend of all. The men in her life are so many and we haven’t too much space, so we’ll let Polly tell you about them herself. Well, Polly, enumerate!! ROBERT RAYMOND General “Hobby “She is beautiful and therefore to be wooed % She is a woman, therefore to be won” Football 1, .3, I: Interchips basketball .3; Baseball 4; Junior Prom .3; Senior Hop 2. Bobby is the quietest yet the biggest wolf in the class, well, almost. Bob is one of the more conservative members of our class. He keeps telling us! We will always wonder how he could keep so many girls guessing at once. By the way, how’s Bennington? We’d also like to know what he and Cote do on those jaunts to Keene and Springfield. We guess he’s just practicing for the time when he’ll be in the Navy and trying hard to keep up the old Naval custom of a girl in every port. Besides women, Bobby excels in sports. He played a bang-up game at end on our football team this year and we’ll never forget his famous charging.

Schooler, 3, 4. Irene is one young lady who can always be counted on to help. She also happens to be one of those lucky girls who doesn't have to worry about where her next date is to come from; she has a rather steady one. Irene holds down a job at Jack Hennessey’s, but, honestly, we’ve often wondered whether it’s the job or the help that fascinates her! KERRY ROTHSTEIN College “Kerry “One today is worth tiro tomorrows” J. V. Basketball, 1; Varsity Football Manager, 2 Spotlight Club, 2, 3 4; I.atin Club, 2: Hi!

Kerry is one of the most cooperative members of the class and one of its best sports. This boy has taken his share of ribbing and taken it in his char- acteristic good-natured way. But he isn’t always on the receiving end; he does his share of ribbing. Kerry should be an expert stage manager after Playnite and the contest. He’s an ambitious young man and we know lie’l succeed in whatever he does.
