T HE S A M I L i R MARY ELIZABETH HEMINGWAY Commercial 3 ary iOCC isr constant in all things. Junior Party 3; Hi! Schooler typist 4. Mary is a girl who is quiet, until you know her. And when you do know her, you find a wonderful sport and a pleasing personality. Living out in Saxtons River, Mary hasn’t had too many opportunities to participate in school doings, but, when she has, it has been to do a good job. She hasn’t quite decided what she will do after graduation. Her plans do include marriage, but not in the immediate future. Good luck in whatever you do, Mary. RICHARD FRANKLIN HILL Civic Pick His bashful mind hinders. Special Glee Club 4: Christmas Pageant 4. One of the quieter personalities of the class, Dick never seems to have much to say. lie has a jolly disposition, and is always willing to lend a helping hand in any situation. This year, for the first time, he is in the Special Glee Club, and doing a good job in it, too. Did you see him as a shepherd in the Christmas pageant? With his reserved but amiable nature, Dick is always on hand with a ready smile and a good joke. We wish you all the luck in the world, Dick! RUSSELL JULIUS HITCHCOCK College Preparatory Russ What cannot be curedt must be endured. Baseball 4; Monitor 4. Russ is one of our boys from Saxtons River. But his activities are by no means confined to S. R.! ! No, Indeed ! ! ! He is another of our nighthawks, with B. F. as his special stomping ground! Strangely enough, though, he doesn’t seem to be tied down to any one female in particular. Maybe he doesn’t know what he’s missing; maybe he’s just smart! ! Time will tell, and we Ye betting it will tell a story of success. SHIRLEY DORIS HODGKINS Commercial Skirl Sired is the remembrance of a generous deed. Student Advisory Board 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Monitor 4; Mathematics Award 2. Here is a combination of personality, looks, and brains. Shirl is Gageville’s contribution to the class of ’50. This is the kid that started the square-dancing fad. How does she find time to take in so many “stomps,” besides mixing sodas at Fletchers? That’s another one of her many secrets. In addition to her active social life, she finds time to help Miss Blood in the office. Good luck to a swell kid.
