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

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

ALEXANDER McEWAN We hereby elect Alex for the title of the most studious student in the history of B.H.S. He can always be depended on for a perfect answer and even Geometry doesn ' t ruffle this boy. What is your prescription for coolness and calmness? LOUISE McILVENE Blond hair — brown eyes (unusual and dangerous combination) — sweet personality — ardent tennis enthusi- ast (that ' s the secret of her trim figger ) — seldom seen without ()onnie or Clare (perhaps that ac- counts for her being class valedic- torian). Mackv ' s favorite indoor sport — eating in lab . Orchestra 1; Operetta 1; Min- strel Show 4; Year Book 4; Gradu- ation Committee 4. THALIA McKAY Another lover of music and a mu- sician herself. Thalia is very quiet, reserved, and a conscientious work- er, but enjoys a good time as well as any of us. Thalia and her car have taken many a load (!) to the League meetings. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2, 3; Wampatuck 4; Minstrel Show 4. AMBROSE McKEOUGH Chubby ' s pet aversion is to entertain the ferns . His patented process of condensing homework in- to the homeroom period is the envy of some of the less-diligent students. He always has a smile for everyone — even on Monday morning! Rifle Club 1; Gym Team 2; Oper- etta 4; Minstrel Show 4. JOHN McKEOUGH John might be called a strong silent man — perhaps that ' s what appeals to the girls. You will never see him lose his temper, and his smile and cheery words, brighten the day after struggling through a dull class. Good luck to you, John. Poultry Club 2; Track 3, 4; Cross Country 3, 4; Gvm Team 2; Baseball 4. LEO McVAY Here ' s a very quiet East Brain- treeite — or so he appears to us. You never can tell with these silent people! Leo says he ' s crazy about baseball. Maybe that’s why we see so little of him. JOHN MEEHAN Red curly hair — six feet tall — sensational backfield man — full of fun. That ' s Red . Do you wonder he ' s a popular fellow? He has sent many feminine hearts afluttering but Red has eyes only for — Guess who? That ' s right — Althea. Football 3, 4; Track 3; Basketball 3, 4; Hockey 4, Gym Team 4; Min- strel Show 4. FRANCES MONAGHAN Although ever since the new locker rules, we have just been able to see the top of Frannie ' s curly black hair from behind a stack of books, she is very attractive and is among our best dancers. Got your map done, Fran ? Gym Team 3; Operetta 3. 28
