HERBERT ENO Have you noiced a tall, lanky, blonde fellow rushing down the corridors and disappearing in Miss Walker ' s room? Well, that was Herbert. He is a quiet, good-na- tured, and dependable fellow. Tons of dynamite could not disturb Her- bert’s good nature. Rifle Club 1; Tennis 4. VIRGINIA ESTABROOK Yes, Ginny is an easy going type, who has a wide circle of friends. Still Ginny” has her troubles — when she is frequently forced to coast home with a gas tank registering empty. With her congenial disposition, her present popularity and success will contin- ue. Senior Writeups 4, Football Dance 4; Basketball 1. JOHN EWING Class president for two years. He must have a great desire to be a crooner, as ever so often he bursts into song. Ask Miss Walker, she knows. (So does Mr. Jones!) Maybe we will hear him over the radio. See you in the Big League, Johnnie! Class President 1, 2; Gym Team 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4. OLIVE FISHER Olive has won recognition for herself in several varied fields. We are envious of her ability in the line of public speaking and dramatics. Fishie is always in a good humor and can take a joke. That ' s what we like about her. Senior Writeups 4; Dramatic Club 4; Public Speaking Contest 4. MARY FURLONG Mary is one of our bashful Janes. Her favorite saying is Don’t be silly. She is a carefree sort of per- son, and always has a cheerful smile for everyone. Have you no- ticed the curls? Best of luck, Mary! Gym Team 1; Basketball 4; Show Boat 4. PETER GESO Pete is of the str mg, silent type. He never talks but lets his actions talk for him. Pete is a good basketball player, and the only time he indulges in conversa- tion is to talk about the game. Basketball 4. MELVIN GOODEARL Melvin ' s interests hover about boats and tennis. He plays tennis like Bill Tilden, with a tricky serve and a swift back hand that keeps his partner running all over the court. Being the son of a singer, Melvin may be destined to become a second Caruso. Gym Team 2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Tennis 4. CHARLES GOODSPEED Charlie is one of our best and most popular football players. That may be the reason for his great at- traction to the fair sex. We wonder who is going to be the luckv girl. Look out, Charlie, it ' s Leap Year! Football 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1; Bank Trustee 3, 4, Ring Committee 3; Class Prophecy 4, Show ' Boat 4. 23

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. Gym Team 1, 2, 3; Hockey 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Show Boat 4; Dramatic Club Play 3. LOUISE DOLLOFF Louise certainly has a great ca- reer ahea; of her in the world of art. 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. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Football 1, 3; Rifle Club 1, 2; ’’Big Hearted Her- bert ” 3; Sophomore Dance 2; Show Boat 4; Junior Prom 3, Oral English Club 3; ’’Dulcy” 4. 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

VIVIAN GORANSSON Vivian has only been with us for one year, but in that time we have learned several nice things about her. She is on the honor roll, likes to sew, and we understand she has another interest — in a young man who sits near her in homeroom. VERNE GRAVES Verne is one of our silent part- ners — at least in class. He has proved his ability as an athlete through his performances on the Gym Team. Verne is a good worker, and should go a long way in this world. Gym Team 2, 3. GERALDINE GRAY Did I hear that Gerry was a regular customer of a 5th Avenue shop? Anyw’ay we can believe it. Although she is one of the quiet members of our class, she is always ready to lend her assistance when necessary. Orchestra 1. ROBERT GREENOUGH What will the cross country team do without its able track man? Bob, as we know him, is the strong silent type, and we have a slight sus- picion that he has an inclination toward being a student. We hear fishing is his favorite hobby. Football 1, 2; Rifle Club 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Track 4; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. Ol J ’ii fTj . 1 T A Wv 1 ,S« 1 ' ' 4 A FRIEDA HALL Frieda seems to be the spark that set the class on fire, and started us to wake up. Frieda has plenty of energy, and certainly helped us by using it. She is a good sport, good dancer, and has broken many a mas- culine heart. Big Hearted Herbert 3; Junior Prom 3; Football Dance 4, Year Book 3, 4; Wamfatuck 4; IV am pa- tuck Play 4. ROBERT HAMILTON Ham is always seen in shirt sleeves. He is high in his studies — and that includes English! We wonder if Ham is planning to be a mathematician or a scientist. Best of luck, whichever it mav be! Baseball 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Writeups 4. ANTHONY HARDY Tony” came to us from Mr. Jones ' s, Sticks of Maine. He has provided us with many a laugh with his Down East twang. Molecules always puzzled Tony but he is always up and Atom” but he may fool us yet. Lindbergh came out of the fog. Cross Country 3, 4; Show Boat 4; “Big Hearted Herbert 3. LEO HART Leo is another one of our football heroes, and Bill Erickson ' s insepar- able pal. His keen wit and pleasant ways make him a favorite with all of us. He is president of our Rifle Club and a dead shot. We know Leo ' s popularity will continue into the future.
