RITA CUNNIFF If vou feel like laughing see Rita. She can supply you with more laughs than Joe Fenner and the Marx brothers put together She plavs a violin like Rubinoff and sticks to Helen Healey like Amos does to Andy. PHYLLIS CUSHING Tall and charming, with a pleas- ing personality — Always manages to squeeze a little bookkeeping in during English period. She is usually seen with Leona and Con- nie, completing the trio. Phyl has a weakness for uniforms. How about It, Phyl? VIRGINIA CUSHING Did someone say she could play the Xylophone?

JOSEPH D ' ACCI Demi-tasse is another of the class half-pints, but can he play football — against the freshmen.

NICOLA DEL VECCHIO Nicky is the boy with the black, curly hair. His two great heroes are Bing Crosby and Wally Berger. Nick has a secret ambition, but even Walter Winchell couldn ' t find out, so it will be learned in a later age, I guess. DOROTHY DIBBLE Dot is liked by everyone who meets her. Her wavy brown hair is envied by many on damp days when curls won ' t stay curled! We like her soft, low voice which is heard in English class always giv- ing the correct answ ' er. 21

DAVID CHAPMAN Dave is our class politician. He might indeed be termed smooth, as well as a likable, friendly, and humorous individual. Dave can talk — in fact he could almost talk one into believing black was white. Anyway, Dave, we re wishing you the best of luck! Cross Country 4 ; Dramatic Club 4; Banquet 4. MARION COLLIER Well, what could one say about a .good sport except that she has a large circle of friends and an en- viable disposition? Marion believes that all work and no play make Jill a dull girl. The best of luck, Marion, we have enjoyed having you as a classmate. Banquet 4. FRANCIS CONLON Francis is eager to give his assis- tance in practically all school activ- ities, although in an unobtrusive manner. We all know him by his wavy hair and amiable disposition — just a quiet good-looking chap from the east end of the town. Gift Committee 4. EDNA CONNOLLY Edna’s that tall, dark, sophisti- cated lady, and that ' s not all. She ' s one that dares to be different and gets away with it — causing no little envy to the girls, who, never- theless, can’t help admiring her. MABEL COOSE Where’s Mabel? In the commercial office doing an excellent piece of bookkeeping, without doubt. She has pretty hair, pretty eyes and a charming, spontaneous smile for everyone. Mabel is the third party in the inseparable Adams, Furlong, Coose trio. Gym Team 1, 2, 4; Basketball 4; Show Boat 4; Class Day 4. ROBERT CORRIGAN Who doesn’t remember Bud driving his Model T with one arm to the football games? He is the other member of the out-spoken firm of Brown Corrigan. Wonder what Bud would do with a si- lence test? Football 1, 4; Show Boat 4; Track 1; Class Will 4; Reception 4; Photograph 4; Baseball 1; Basket- ball 1,2. MURIEL COYLE Muriel is another of our class- mates whom we don’t know much about. She is quiet and unobtrusive, and seems to stay within her own circle of friends. Anyway we know that because Muriel is persistent she’ll accomplish whatever she de- cides to undertake. CORA CROSBY Here is a bundle full of energy and wit combined. Cora sings her way merrily along for Trouble’s just a bubble for this gay lass (she has two of the nicest dimples when she smiles). Laugh and the world laughs with you is a motto we could all afford to follow, Cora. 20

RUTH DIEKMEYER An all-round good sport, that ' s Ruth. She plays hockey and basket- ball. She also makes basketball an outside interest. Always a cheery smile which makes her popular with all.

She is a rather quiet, unobtrusive voung lady, as artists should be — but frequently aren’t. We’re wish- ing you all kinds of future success! Show Boat 4, IVampatuck 4. CLARA DRAKE Whenever there was an uproar, we could, a good many times, pin the blame on Clara’s infectious giggle. Clara’s sunny smile and carefree air will always be stepping stones toward making new friends and keeping the old. This peppy young lady is a marvelous skater. ’’Pirate’s Daughter” 3, Ring Committee 3; Football Dance 4; Basketball 4; Gym Team 4; Show Boat 4; Track 2. DAVID DRUMMOND ’’Dave” is the answer to a maid- en’s prayer; tall, dark and buzzes around in an Oldsmobile. We also understand that ’’Dave ” only has eyes for a certain brunette in Quincy. A decided inclination toward being a successful politicion declares itself when David starts to talk.

AGNES DWYER ’’Aggie” has a hidden quality which is brought to light in Oral English. That fine art is acting. Exams nev ' er bother her, yet she always manages to keep up her reputation for good marks. Her jovial disposition has brought her many friends. ARTHUR EARNEY Art gives the impression of bash- fulness, but — don’t let that fool you. His hobby is hunting, and woe be unto any game that is around when Art takes his trusty gun in hand. Art is not onl y popular with the fellows, but has given many a feminine heart a turn. LORRAINE ELLIS We will always remember ’’Sweet- ie” as one of our star players on the Girl’s Hockey Team. She plays basketball, baseball — well almost any game with the ”vim and vigor” we would all like to possess. Her jovial spirit and twinkling eyes are two especially good reasons for her popularity. Gym Team 1; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 4, ’’Big Hearted Her- bert” 3; Show Boat 4, Dramatic Club 3- VERNA ELLIS A flashing smile and winsome way make VTrna one of our most likeable seniors. Verna has devel- oped quite an interest in the library this past year — could it have been the books, we wonder? With such a personality, Verna will never be without a multitude of friends. 22
