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. Rifle Club 1, 2, 3, 4; President 4, Orchestra 1,2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Show Boat 4; Big Hearted Her- bert 3; Year Book 4. 24

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

BARBARA HAVILAND Barby is an accomplished seamstress, as she has designed and made almost her entire wardrobe. She was a valuable member of the hockey team last season. What is the fatal attraction M.I.T. has for you lately, Barby- ' ' ’ Hockey 3, 4; Gym Team 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 3; Mikado 2; Pirate ' s Daughter 3. ALLAN HOLMES Allan is one of our most reserved members. Seems to be quite aloof to the fair sex. Due to his indus- trious spirit Allan is holding down a steady job. Why so serious? Basketball 1. FREDERICK HOLMES Fred is another one of our quiet personalities (until you get to know him). Fred always manages to get to school at one minute of eight. Boy, oh, boy! What a system! Never a worry, never a care. That’s our Fred. Track 1; Basketball 1. IRVIN HUNTER Irvin is our math wizard. It seems we can ' t find a problem he can’t puzzle out. But that isn ' t the only thing he stands out in. He’s headed in the right direction ! German Club 1, 2, 3; Hi Y Club 2, 3; Show Boat 4, Graduation Com- mittee 4. EMMA HYLAND Emma came to us in her junior year. She has proven herself to be an authority on historical events, as well as one of the rare lovers of Cicero and Virgil. We all know- that Emma will be welcome wherever she may choose to go. Orchestra 4. ARTHUR JACOBS Ah! A high-pressure salesman amid our list of celebrities. Jakie can talk, listen to him in History and he can sell, drop in at the Economy Store in E. Braintree. We are certain a politician has been educated in our portals. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. PAUL JENNINGS Paul is one of our few classmates who believes in having homework done on time. He is a great track star, as well as a good basketball player. His tooth paste ad smile certainly goes over — and that is almost always present. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 4; Track 1, 2; Wampatuck 4; Year Book 4, Class Prophecy 4, Senior Writeups 4; Football Dance 4; Sophomore Dance 2. CHARLES JONES Charles is a conscientious w-orker and an excellent bookkeeper. He is quiet and reser -ed and always ready to be of assistance. We foresee a suc- cessful business in Charles due to his nice personality and ability. 25
