28 THE MERCURY came to our school, but in this short time she has acquired friends galore and numerous admirers. Though wholly unaccomplished as fortune tellers, we may forecast a brilliant future for one wtih so happy a disposition. Course: commercial. Honors: CSheldon H. S., class treasurer Qrjg penmanship certificate, CB. F. AJ speed honors in typing. JOSEPH MACDONALD Joe, or more recently Vincent, is really a hard-working senior. He is constantly on the alert for ways to im- prove THE MERCURY, and continually giving other students helpful advice on many subjects. He is a very good mathematician. Joe also plays a mean trombone and is beginning to master the baritone horn. Course: classical. Honors: Managing editor of THE MERCURY Q4jg News editor of THE MERCURY Cgj gHarvard prize 13D 5 or- chestra C2-gjg band C2-3-45, all-state orchestra C41 g Senior Play C45 5 chair- man of grinds committee C4j. MARIE MAXNVELL When you hear a clatter of high heels, a cheery, Hello, then a recital of the latest news, it can be none other than Marie from Sheldon. It has been said that she doesn't like boys, and sel- dom if ever dances. We wonder if it isn't another Marie people were speak- ing of. The class could scarcely get along without this lively miss, and we regret that she couldn't have spent her first two years with us. Course: general. Honors: CSheldon High Schoolj manager of basketball Qzjg secretary of student senate Czj. ISABELLE MCCANN Our lady from Massachusetts is en- deared to us by her quiet, sweet dis- position, but we can't call her shy. It is always easy for Isabelle to give a cheery laugh or smile. Her grades are habitually among the highest in the class, but she doesn't have to spend all of her time studying. Civics seems to be her specialty, although she is much interested in science. We find, too, that she is not far behind when it comes to the Irish brogue. We wonder where she got her practice. Course: general. Honors: COrange, Mass., H. S., literary club KID g QB. F. AJ glee club C215 Senior Play C4jg grinds commit- tee Q4j. IRA McDoNoUGH Although Ira is a quiet young man in school, it is reported that he is not al- ways so. Sometimes he forgets his shyness and goes to call on the fairer sex. Ira is usually to be seen with his close friend, Eli Greenfield. He has proved during his course that he is a very good typist. Very good typist? Yes-and a very good fellow. Course: commercial. IVIARJORIE MCKENNEY Marjorie is the girl to whom the Senior Class has looked for leadership, and she has not failed us. Picture a girl with a delightful personality, good looks, executive ability, willingness to work, and a smile for everyone, and you will see just why Marjorie was elected vice-president of the class. See her at work, and you will understand why the Senior Supper was such a suc- cess. At times Marjorie is given to dream- ing, and as a result from time to time We receive choice bits of poetry. Indeed,

THE MERCURY 27 AGNES JENNINGS We like Agnes because she's an all- round girl. Besides being a fine student, she finds time for basketball, tennis, archery, and swimming. We all acknowledge her a superior student. Even Miss Chandlerls ques- tions on weighty matters can't ruffle Agnes. She's one of those people who succeed in Whatever they undertake. The Class of '32 expects to hear of Agnes in the future. Course: classical. Honors: proof-reader for THE MER- CURY f4j 5 grinds committee JOHN LARRY With a twinkle in his eyen Pep personified-that's Zeb. And as a smasher of dishes he's one hun- dred percent perfect. His next best ability is playing basketball Cexcept when his feet get in the wayj. He play- ed on his class team for two years. His ready smile and shock of black hair help to make an altogether pleasing Zeb The one thing he doesn't like is to hear someone call him J-a-W-n. He's always ready with a willing hand to help a pal along. We are sure his optimistic outlook on life will take him a long way. Course: general. Honors: class treasurer C135 treas- urer Athletic Association C4jg Ath- letics editor of THE MERCURY C3,g Advertising manager of THE MER- CURY Q45 g glee club C2-3-45 g manager of baseball Cgjg Senior Play ADELE LASELLE Adele is our quiet, shy little maid, but we think a lot of her because of these qualities and miss her when she is not around. She is steady and faith- ful at work in her modest way, and certainly does her part to keep things moving. Adele is of the type who usually win out, and we know our Adele won't disappoint us. We'll be expect- ing great things of you, Adele! Course: general. Honors: glee club CID. MARGUERITE LASELLE Peggy is the girl who is always happy and always helpful. She also possesses that enviable gift of friendli- ness. A smile for everybody is her motto, and smiles beget smiles. When- ever there is any fun to be had she is right there--ready for anything. All these attributes will be a great factor in helping Peggy to become the good, cheerful nurse that she hopes to be. Good luck to you in your chosen work! Honors: glee club fljg grinds com- mittee C4j. LINUS LEAVENS Good-natured, friendly, popular-all these qualities describe Linus Leavens. Linus also possesses other characteris- tics which make him a very good class- mate. As an earnest student Linus takes second place to few. Just one look at the A's and B's on his report card will prove this. Linus is especially good in Latin, but his splendid work is due to his untiring efforts. With his deter- mined way he will surely be successful in life. Course: classical. RUTH LITTLE We challenge anyone in all Vermont to rival Ruth's optimism. Even through midyear exams her temper remained unruiiled. Her friends, too, are inspir- ed by her bubbling good humor to brave the impossible. Those of us who have not been favored with her intimate friendship have often enjoyed her sunny smile. It was only last year that Ruth

THE MERCURY 29 the Class Poem is just one example of her ability. And for hard work, just watch Marjorie getting her Alumni notes together! Keep it up, Marjorie! Course: classical. Honors: glee club fl-2-35, principal fl-2, 3 class vice-president Q45 g Alum- ni editor of THE MERCURY Q4j 3 class poem Q4j g business committee of Senior Play 145, grinds committee CHARLENE MOFFATT This dainty bit of ivory and pale rose might have been an orchid in some rare old garden. Charlene is our mod- ern Helen of Troy, and does she lead the boys a merry chase? Charlene has quite a string of admirers. It stretches from Alabama to Detroit and from there back to Vermont. Would you believe it for one so small? Course: commercial. Honors: O. G. A., advertising com- mittee for Senior Play C45 5 grinds committee C4j. DOROTHY Mrorr Small, quiet, but merry and friendly describes one of the four Dorothies who look frightened when their name is called in U. S. History class. Dorothy is'very unassuming, yet she can toe-dance very well-at least, that's what the audience thought during the Senior Girls' Entertainment, and we value their opinion. According to the reports we hear from her typing and stenography, we think that Dot would make a good secretary for someone- perhaps for the next President. Good luck, Dot! Course: commercial. Honors: typing pin: bookkeeping certificateg penmanship certificate. LENA NARDINE A more cheerful girl than Lena can't be found. She greets you with such a charming smile that at once your heart goes out to her. Her rather re- served manner makes her liked by all her friends. Lena hopes to be a nurse and we are sure she will realize this ambition. Best luck, Lena! Course: commercial. Honors: glee club C255 typing pins O. A. T. 25-, 50-words. ADELAIDE NIXON Did you ever before see a person like Adelaide? She is certainly quite unusual. Do you want to know a secret? To the world Adelaide appears quiet and retiring. However, her friends know her to be quite different. Under- neath her dignihed, quiet appearance lurks the imp of mischief, ready to ap- pear at the slightest provocation. We know her to be humorous, jolly, good- natured, and a good sport. Our class just couldn't get along without Ade- laide. Course: commercial. Honors: penmanship certificate QI, g bookkeeping certificate. FRANCIS O'CONNELL A rare bird Fracas is free, white, and almost twenty. He plays football and base- ball with the best of them. Francis is the most carefree of our senior boys. lt is a known fact that even a history exam is incapable of making him worry. He has a faculty for telling remarkable stories. Some of them are so remarkable that they are incredible, but the upper classes consider them invaluable to the educa- tion of the freshman. Happy landings, Fracas l Course: general. Honors: glee club Czjg football f4j g baseball Q2-3-45 g advisory board of Athletic Association Q4j.
