Patricia Hurley Pat has a personality full of sincerity and laughter. At B. H. S. she enjoyed any kind of work in journalism and hopes to continue in that field after graduation. Now. as will be true always, “Pat is a genuine friend. Dramatic Club 1. 2. 3: Belmon-tian Club 2. 3: Latin Club 2. 3; Spanish Club 2; Publication Club 3. I Richard Jones Dick has many interests, but outside of sports they all seem to point towards his goal — success in engineering. He is one of those fortunate people who make-friends easily and keep them. His quiet way of lending a helping hand will be as helpful to him as his ability to get an A in physics. Tennis 3; French Club 1, 2, 3; Band 1. 2; Science Club 2. 3; Forum Club 2, 3; Radio Club 3. Robert Jackson You’ve seen him streaking down the basketball cou-t and holding his own on the football field. Of course, it’s Gus” Jackson. Let it never be said that his avid interest in sports sidetracks him from his ambition to become a dentist. Certain it is that Gus’s patients will gleefully flock to his door, such a likeable chap is he.

Jackie is our idea of the perfect friend. He-wit has often made many a dull period fun, or a lonely pal happy. Horses claim the other interest of her life, and Jackie’s advice is. Don’t bet on them! All right, wc won’t bet on horses, Ginny. but we will bet on you for a happy future. Dramatic Club 1. 2; Red Cross Club 2. Graham Joy Gray is a boy with a sparkle in his eye and a brain full of information. Although he professes to be mainly interested in eating. sleeping, and vacations, he is far from dull. His ambition, he says, is to “make” the Yale ping-pong team, but, of course, it’s a sure thing that he will rise to greater heights than this in the future. French Club 2, 3; Music Club 3; Forum Club 3. Elaine Joyce Her giggle makes even the gloomy teachers smile and laugh. The shining stars she uses for eves are syml olical. for some day she will take her place among them, shedding l eauty and cheer upon the world. Red Cross Club 1. 2. 3; Bclmon-tian Club 3; Bookworms Club 3. Marjorie Jones Many’s the time Marjie” has checked our books and greeted us with her warm smile at that haven of hard-working students — the Town Library. An avid reader, she has truly found her natural surroundings there, but she is equally at Ijonic when rooting for a Belmont team, or movic-ing with her friends. Her well-rounded personality as well as a good brain will always mark Marjorie as one of the best in whatever work she chooses. Red Cross Club 1, 2, 3; Spansh Club 2, 3; Astronomy Club 2. Virginia Kane laughing eyes sparkle prettily whenever Ginny is around. She is blonde and attractive. Puzzling her at the present time is the question of when her man is coming home for good. Pumps and silk stockings arc definitely not her favorite apparel, but wc agree she looks sweet when “dressed up. Spanish Club 2; Belmontian Club 3; Bookworms Club 3; Home Kconomics Club 3. 28
