PHILIP MUNROE “Deeds, not words seems to be Phil ' s motto, and he abides by it. As a football player and track man, he has become famous among us. Although one of the quiet members, Phil is a big asset to the Class of ' 36. Football 1, 2, 3, 4, Track 1, 2, 3, 4, Gvm Team 1, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3,4. ' ALICE NEAL Alice is another member of East Braintree society. She enjoys skat- ing, as many from “over there do. ■VV ' e ' ve heard that Alice has a nice singing voice, so perhaps we have a future operatic or radio star in the person of Alice? Gym Team 1; Show Boat 4. JAMES NICKERSON James finds it one of the most difficult things to do when getting to homeroom a few minutes early is concerned. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn ' t! If you see someone walking along slowly and unconcerned, that ' sjames. Mikado 2; Football 2, 3, 5; Track 4, 5; Band 2. BARBARA NISSEN Barbie finds her greatest op- portunity for relieving her excess energv in the field of athletics. She has a perfectly grand disposition, and boy! we appreciate her interest and help in all our undertakings. Orchestra 1, 2; Band 2; Field Hockey 2, 4; Gym Team 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4. PAUL NOONAN Nooney features curly hair along with a quiet, unassuming manner and a slow, nonchalant walk. He ' s an all-round athlete and plavs a spectacular game of hockey. His favorite hide-out is none other than Hollis Garage. Prospective mechanic? Rifle Club 1, 2, 3, 4. FRANKLIN ODELL Red is that big fellow who lives just across the street, and is ever seen getting into homeroom jut before the bell rings. Red forms the third of the Jones-Mun- roe-Odell trio, which is almost always kept intact. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1; Gym Team 1; Football 1. HERBERT OLOFSON That quiet, good-looking, very very blond fellow is Herbert. He is best known among his own sex, as he is very apparently girl shy. Nev- ertheless all the girls who know him, as well as the boys, can ' t help liking Herbert — perhaps it ' s that attractive blush! HELEN OLSON Who is she? We mean that tall messenger who frequently visits our class rooms with notices. Oh, yes, that ' s Helen — who, incidentally, prefers knitting to books. With her jolly disposition she will surely be successful — as someone ' s secretary. Show Boat 4, Basketball 3, Class Gift 4. 29

ELIZABETH McKEAN What would Miss Walker do without Elizabeth? She is always seen hustling through the corridors. Her laugh is contagious. Her pleas- ant disposition and pleasing person- ality have made her many friends. Mav you have success in your future work ! Year Book 4. WILLIAM McKEAN Nonchalance, good looks and popularity make up Bill’s attractive personality. That roguish smile and his sleek hair are what we admire. A calm and collected football player as well as a live-wire. Remember his injured nose during football season? Basketball 3, 4; Football 4; Re- ception 4. CONSTANCE McKIM Connie, although she only came to us last year, has become very popular among us, especially with the opposite sex of the school. She is a petite, dark-haired young lady who knows how to dress. Connie is quite an ardent equestrienne. Show Boat 4, Banquet 4. MARY McMANUS Mary has a calm, serene disposi- tion, and an ever ready smile. Those going to Bridgewater can look for- ward to seeing Mary there also. Let us in on the secret, Mary, about your almost constant companion. Should we worry? Show Boat 4; Gift Committee 4. MARY McSHARRY Mary is a happy-go-lucky sort of person, who can always find something to laugh at. It seems that Marv just likes to take things easy, and dislikes hurrying. Never- theless, we admire that sort of un- disturbed manner, and a sense of humor is a good thing to have. Show Boat 4; Banquet 4. ROBERT MEANEY We have a number of cross-coun- try stars, and Bob is certainly one of them. His wit (?) causes many a teacher a gray hair. Little is known of Bob’s future, but we are sure that an aggressive fellow like he is will be a success. Cross Country 4; Tennis 4; Basket- ball 1, 2; Wampatuck 1. DOROTHY MILES ’Dottie ” is one of our sweetest Senior girls. Carefree and ready for fun, she glides through school treating us generously w’ith her adorable smile. Dot goes around in circles trying to keep from giving more than one fellow a date on the same night. Mikado 2; Basketball 2, 4; Show Boat 4. CLYDE MORRISON When you see a cloud of dust way down the road, you know that Clyde has just passed you on his wav home from school. Another of our class’s smaller boys, he certainly proved that size was not such an important factor on the gridiron, or elsewhere. Football 1, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Dance 2; Reecption 4. 28

FRANCIS PARADIS You should see him on the foot- ball field — yes, he ' s another foot- ball hero. They say still waters run deep — so perhaps we ' re wrong about Frannie. But anywav, he never seems to be disturbed bv anv mere girl! Football 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4, Track 4. LESLIE PARKER We are certainly glad that Leslie found her way from W ' oodward to Braintree High. It proved to be their loss and our gain. Tall, at- tractive, and friendly to all, Les is one of the most popular members of the class. Because she is full of pep and ready for anything, Les will go far. Junior Prom 3; Wampatuck 4, Ways and Means Committee 4, Football Dance 4; Show Boat 4; Year Book 4, Dulcy 4; Dra- matic Club 4. STANLEY PARKER A quiet fellow with not too much to say. But when he does speak we hear a big, deep voice that seems to come from his shoes. He passes casually from class to class unob- serving of the pranks of his fellow students. CRAIG PAUL Tall, dark and handsome — that ' s Craig. And he knows how to dress, too! Captain of the baseball team shows his interest in athletics. He plays basketball, hockey, and likes tobogganing. He has a grand per- sonality and disposition when you get to know him as we do. Baseball 3, 4; Captain 4; Track 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Sophomore Dance 2; Hockey 2, 3, Class hce- President 1, 2; Pirate ' s Daughter 3; Wampatuck 4, Year Book 4. PRISCILLA PEIRCE Although rather quiet, Priscilla has a host of friends. She is a lover of travel both by land and sea. Per- haps this accounts for her enthusi- astic study of histories. Here ' s to your continued success at college! Show Boat 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Year Book 4. DOROTHY PERRY Dot is tall, reserved and at- tractive. Athletically inclined and well-liked. Besides being a good stu- dent she is a good pal for Toot Mahar. Dimples find their place with Dot and find it necessary to appear every time she even gives a hint of a smile. Basketball 1, 2, 3; Gym Team 1, 3; Hockey 2. HERBERT PHILLIPS Musical ability is one of Herbert ' s most worthy assets. He has a nice personality and excellent taste in clothes. Herb is amiable, cour- teous and well-liked. Loads of luck and future success in music is what we wish him. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 2, 3; Junior Prom 3; Track 1. ROY PHILLIPS Rov is the bane of Sammy Law- rence ' s life. His original experi- ments in chemistry have Sam on edge. Roy shines on the baskteball floor and can he dance, the wax just melts under his feet. Maybe another Fred Astaire? Track 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Year Book 4, Football 1, Junior Prom 3; Baseball 1. 30
