EVELYN HALL Is Evelyn the tallest girl in the class? We are not quite sure, but we ' d guess she holds that title. The Metropolitan Opera Company will soon have an addition to their cast in the person of Evelyn. Good luck! Operetta 1, 3; Year Book 4; Minstrel Show 4. HARRY HANSEN Good football player, general utility man last fall, hobby is danc- ing. Enjoys a good joke, goes over big with the fair sex. A bluff and hearty manner makes him popular with the gang. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, 4; Operetta 3, 4, Ger- man Club 2; Basketball 3; B Club 2, 3, 4; Broadcast 4; Minstrel Show 4; Prom Committee 3. VIRGINIA HARMON Virginia came to us from the dear old Southland. Her popular South- ern accent has never left her, and we like it. She ' s one of our high rank- ing students and possesses a remark- able memory. Her unusual hair comb and green-blue eyes might well be called exotic — and that southern charm! ROBERT HARPER If Bob ' s” aptitude in handling figures and his keen analytic mind is any prophetic indication of his success, Bob should be in its light. Bob has the good luck and best wishes of all in his future suc- cess. Radio Club 1; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Ride Club 1, 3, 4; German Club 3,4; Minstrel Show 4; Operetta 4. ROBERT HASTINGS Bob’ ' is one of our most studious seniors, but there’s a method in his madness — Professor aspires to enter the portals of Yale. If brains plus personality are the keys to pro- gress, Bob, success is yours. Tennis 1, 2, 3; German Club 2, 3; Debating 1,4. CLAIRE HENRICH The girl whom many know noth- ing about. Extremely bashful. Came to Braintree from the dear old South which was a tough break for the South. Lots of curly black hair. We wonder if she studies all the books she carries. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 4; (At Asheville — first 2 years — Basket- ball 1, 2; Girl Reserves, President Red Cross 1, 2.) MARGARET HORSMAN ' Blushing is the colour of virtue. ' Miggie was our hockey captain this year, and what a year. She is a swell companion. What would you do without the Saturday night dances? Hockey 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Spanish Club 3; Basketball 2, 3; Gym Team 4 ; Wampatuck 4 ; A . A . 4 . JOHN HUSKINS John is a boy usually possessed by a quiet nature, but as a member of the Wampatuck advertising staff, he has haunted proprietors for miles around to obtain their signatures — significant of an ad. With these qualities — persistence, patience, and hope, success is yours, John. Radio Club I , Harmonica Club 1 , Spanish Club 3; Year Book 4, Min- strel Show 4. 25

FRED FORBES No one knows what he’ll do ' til he tries. Fred showed his ability to sing in The Pirate ' s Daughter. Such a head of curly hair, no wonder he is popular. His steady perseverance ana his ambitions will help him in his chosen work. Baseball 1; Football 2, 3; Oper- etta 4; Minstrel Show 4. LOWELL FRAZIER Another one of Miss Bennett ' s chefs, doesn ' t say much, seems to get a kick out of life, likes bridge, especially contract. He even has Culbertson worried. Maybe we ll see him with Delmonico or George Lamaze some day. Basketball 2, 3; Gym Team 1 . RAYMOND FURLONG Rav glides through the corridors, swiftly and silently folds his tall frame into a chair and quietly ac- cepts what his teachers try to make him believe. Cool and aloof, he shuns the members of the fairer sex. The change takes place when the final bell rings — we hear a cry of joy, laughter, and there’s much calamity. (Why is it 3 ) Basketball 4. CATHERINE GALLAGHER We’d be willing to bet our last nickel that Catherine would rather do most anything except to give an oral topic (can’t say that we blame her). Although rather quiet, Cath- erine is really lots of fun, and has a wide circle of friends. LOUISE GILBERT What a talented class we have! Louise heads the list of our dancers and rightly so. She would rather dance than eat. (This is slightly be- yond our comprehension.) You have our sincere good wishes for your success on the stage, Louise. Minstrel Show 3, 4. CUSTANO GIOVANNI ’ ’ A good companion and as firm a friend ' Custano is among our bus friends who dislikes to do his homework. He is one of our vicious characters, so beware. Whatever he will at- tempt to do we know he will suc- ceed, if it isn’t English. Basketball 4. HARRISON GORDON Sandy is one of our most soph- isticated seniors and possesses a smooth charm. Despite his busy social life we find him ranking high in his studies — and always on the job. Sandy ' s’’ philosophy of different things is revealed when he repeats Variety is the spice of life.” JAMES HALES Jimmy and his helping hand have caused many a feminine cry of woe by spoiling experiments in the chemistry lab. He and his car have saved much shoe leather for B.H.S. students. We don’t blame you for preferring editors, Jimmy. Wampatuck 1 , 2, 3, 4; Year Book 4; Football 3, 4; Track 1 , 3; Basket- ball 1 , 2, 3, 4; Wampatuck Play 2; Operetta 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Senior Re- ception Committee 4. 24

DOROTHY JOHNSON She that hath knowledge spareth her words. Dot believes that variety is the spice of life. She plans to go to Framingham with her inseparable pal, Helen. Dot is a good student as well as a perfect pal. Basketball 3; Minstrel Show 4. EUGENE KELLY Ah! here is the strong silent man of our class. Mr. Jones will sure miss his ves-man in History IV. Eugene must have a good sense of humour, for he always manages to smile at Mr. Jones’ jokes (?). EVELYN JOHNSTON ' ' A girl to know and a girl worth while. Miss Kirby’s pet 3 I wonder. Eve is our jewelry store. She has a won- derful complexion. Do you use Woodbury’s? We are certainly proud to have had you in our class. Minstrel Show 4. CYNTHIA JORDAN What a gal” say her friends — jolly, good-natured, and good fun. I bet you ' ve never really noticed how good-looking she is. But plenty of fellows have by the reports we hear from a reliable source. Tut, tut, Cynthia! Senior Minstrel Show. DONALD JORDAN Don,” as we all realize, is the son of our illustrious principal. He has an aptitude for all athletics, and witty? A likable fellow and a popu- lar student — that ' s Don ” Is it not plausible — Don — a teacher? Best o ' luck . Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Rifle Club 1, 2, 3,4. HELEN KUSIC What a competent secretary this lass, one of our most able commer- cial students, will make some lucky business man. Who is this hand- some young man we see you with so often, Helen? Bring him around sometime. We ' d like to meet him. DURANT LATHROP Durant journeys thither to school from East Braintree and enlivens many of the dormant students after such a journey with his peculiar laughter. Although quiet and re- served in school, Durant has many varied outside accomplishments — swimming and amusing female ad- mirers. Operetta 3, 4; Tennis 4; Minstrel Show 4; Bank 4. AGOSTINA LA VINA Arga is our Fred Astaire on the dance floor. What grace and rhythm that boy has! We wonder whether he will be famous for his ability to dance or for his skill in the art of cutting hair. Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 1. 26
