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

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

JOHN LAWRY What ' s this tearing down the street — wait — it ' s only Lawry and Co. trying to beat the eight o ' clock bell. He gets there no matter how painful the way. Seriously, John ' s an all-round fellow and prominent business student. Success is yours, John. Bank Trustee 1; Basketball 2; Year Book 4. L JL ZL w FRANK LINK Frank came to us this year, but his swinging stride and broad shoul- ders are familiar to all of us. Al- though of a quiet nature, Frank dotes on his sarcastic remarks. Nevertheless, Frank has made many friends during his short sojourn with us. ANNA LITTLEJOHN Anna, the capable little girl who comes from across the sea to us — Scotland to be exact. Efficient is about the best word we know to describe her. She is clever in her art work and also her sewing. Her eye- brows are birdlike and her lashes are the longest we’ve seen outside of Garbo. Minstrel Show 4. JOHN LONERGAN In John we find a prominent de- bator, and he himself admits he is long-winded. Whenever the phone rings in a classroom John has no longer to be told that Lonergan is wanted in the office. What say, John? Baseball 4, Debating Club 4; Operetta 4. FLORENCE LUDY What will the hockey team do without Flossie- 1 We wish those alumni friends of hers didn ' t take up quite so much of her time. To all those interested — Flossie is not a bit stuck-up. What an idea! Hockey 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 4; Junior Prom 3; Minstrel Show 4, Class Prophecy 4, Reception Committee 4. CLARE MacPHERSON Curly hair, nice eyes, vivacious, attractive, nice taste in clothes, affects brown, has a passion for white shoes in the winter time. Has an incurable weakness for curly- haired blond football heroes, per- haps the reason she is such a loyal football fan. Her winning smile and little giggle have won her many friends. Class Ring Committee 3; Basket- ball 4; Minstrel Show 4; Year Book 4; Banquet Committee 4. ROBERT MAYNARD Bob has only been with us one year, but he is so good-natured we feel we ' ve always known him. He certainly holds us spellbound in French III, when he rattles off his French with a perfect accent. Suc- cess to you, monsieur! Track 2, 3, Wrestling 3 some other high school; Gvm Team 4. william McDonough Such an industrious worker as Bill will probably own the whole chain of First Nationals some day! In spite of his work he manages to attend the Saturday night dances regularly. And have you seen the cute brunette, or is it a blonde now, Bill? 27
