FRANCIS CHRISTOFI Hoofer is another of our football heroes. We hear the town is about to sue him for wearing out the road to Ea.st Braintree. How’s about it, Hoofer’? Well, anyway, I guess she’s worth travelling that far for, eh, wot? Football 1, 4; Ba.seball 2, 3; Track 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4; Cross Country 2, 3; Banquet 4. ELSIE COSTAXTIXO A South Braintree MLss, very petite and dark, whom we don’t hear much about. Elsie is too quiet and shy excej)! when among her most intimate friends. She is always ready to laugh and add more to a joke. Basketball 1, 2, 3. MARY CROXIX A 3 ’oung lady better known as Bettv. Where j ' ou hear a giggle or “goings on’’ look in the center of the group and j’ou’ll find Betty. She takes .your mone.v when you want to cat the cafeteria’s food. Hocke.v 2, 3, 4; Gvm Team 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Minstrel Show 4; Graduation 4. CHARLES CUMMINGS Good .sport, good natured, good looking, good athlete, and an all- around regular gujq that’s Duke. Brilliant hockey, football and base- ball player. Hobbj is canoeing on moonlight nights. Girls envy his low blush and brown eyes. Best of luck to J ' OU, Charlie. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Class Gift 4. RUTH CURRIE Ruth came to us in her sophomore year. She is very quiet and all we can find out is that she plans to become a teacher. We wish j’ou the be.st of luck, Ruth, and hope you make ’em mind. MARY D’ACCI D’Acci, as she’s called, is an all- around girl. Especiall} ' popular in sports. Any time, any place, Mary is ready. All the girls envy her curly black locks, right girls? She always has a smile for anj ' one. Good luck, kid! Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Gym Team 2, 3: Dramatic Club 1. MAR.JORY DAY Margie is a happj ' -go-luckj ' sort of individual who will alwaj’s be found readv to giggle, especiallj ' if it’s serious. Our own present B. H. bovs get slighted for an alumnus. Are j’ou still serious about being a nurse? Dramatic Club 1; Gym Team 2; “Pirate’s Daughter’’ 2; Basketball 1, 2; Ring Committee 3; Track 3; Seal Committee 4; Orchestra 1, 2; Minstrel Show 4. ELEANOR DE COSTA Small, dark, and very vivacious, that’s Eleanor. She’s a grand kid and a swell sport. When she is graduated from the honorable B. H. S. I’m sure, in fact, emphatically sure she will go far — even if she has to go on horseback. IDA DEL PICO A dark, attractive Senior. Quiet but well-known. Alwaj ' s has a lot of studving. She doesn’t mingle outside her own crowd — in which she is popular. She’s going to make some executive a grand secretarj-. Good luck, Ida. Hockey 1; Basketball 1 ; Track 3; Reception 4. LLOYD DEWAR Lloyd, a faithful and efficient Cross Country runner. His snappv dress and pleasing personality make him well-liked bj ' all. He has per- fect control over his coal black hair but he can’t control the crimson blush so pleasing to the fair sex. Football 1; Basketball 1, 2; Cross Country 3. 4; Track 3, 4; Wampatuck. 4; Class History 4; Minstrel Show 4. HAYDEE DIBBLE A wow at sports! Our athletic Senior. A grand sport and a corking sense of humor. We’re going to miss seeing that “Colgate” smile. .Anyhow, Haydce, we wish you oodles of luck in whatever j ' ou choose as your career. Basketball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 2; Class Day 4; Minstrel Show 4. ALICE DIOTTE Gee, this class is full of quiet girls — one more added to the list. .Alice is a grand sport and friendly. If Fm not mistaken she’s going secretarial in a big way. May health, wealth, and happiness come j ' our way. Basketball 1 ; Class Daj ' 4. 17

PAUL BRAUN Although Paul is one of the little fellows of the class, he has proved himself a corking athlete, l)eing one of “Watsie Vinton’s All- Stars. Keep up that chin and you’ll get a long way, Paul, what with all your friends. Football 1, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. RITA BROOKS Here’s a girl for dimples! Pita ' s favorite subjects are History and Sewing — right ' f Rita is one of our East Braintree-ites and her friends are many — especially the opposite sex. A cute person and a cute dresser is Rita. Basketball 1, 2, 4; Class Gift 4. LLOYD BUKER Lloyd is one of that (piiet kind, whom you might not suspect of being a good student until report cards come out! . lways at home- room early, finishing homework. How many more of us should be there with him, working! Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 1. ROBERT BURNHAM So quiet that we hardly realized he had left us for a while until he pojjped up in our Senior year! A good student, who doesn ' t give his teachers headaches like some people we know! Keep up the good work. Bob! SHIRLEY BUTLER Shirley always knows the answers in History. She ' s very sweet .so they say — who are they ' ? Whj all her friends and there are lots of them. Shirley is an as.set to our cla.ss and we could hardly do without her. EVELYN BYAM Ev 3 ’ seems rather quiet around school but her friends ' claim we don ' t know her. You ' re not afraid of us, are you Evelyn ' f She has the nicest smile (in case j ' ou haven ' t nociced) and that means a lot in this world. Basketball 1; Class Day 4. IRENE CALL “How’s the weather up there, Irene?’’ No hard feelings now because there is just that many more inches of j-our cheerfulness for us to enjoy. Anyone as opti- mistic as 3 ’ou seem to be should find life quite plea.sant. Success, alwa3 s. KATHERINE CALLANAN Katv is the studious 3 ’oung lad 3 ' with such prett 3 ' blond tresses (and it’s natural, too). She is one of the few who never forgets to do her homework. With 3 -our abilit 3 ' , Kat 3 ’, we know 3 ' ou will succeed. Best of luck. Cla.ss Gift 4. LESLIE CARPENTER Ah! One of that curl 3 ’-haired, smooth-dancer type! We can’t see how he could stand the winter without the pleasures of the Satur- da 3 ’ Night Basketball Dances, or the femmes who attend such! . 11 in all, he is some keed! • Baseball 3, 4; G 3 ' m Team 2, 3; Track 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hocke3 ‘2, 4. WALTER CAVANAGH Cav is the boy who “should be plaving football at college next 3 -ear,’’ (to quote). He’s one of tho.se not-too-tall, dark, and hand- somes for which B. H. S. is fa- mous)?).

If you do as well in other things that 3 ’ou undertake, good fortune will sureK reward you. Banquet 4. PHYLLIS CHAMBERS Phyllis, unlike her sister Helen, is fuli of “it” hence the nick name. Giggles. She is living up to the say- ing, “Laugh and the world laughs with 3 ' ou,” and doing a swell job of it, too. Keep on smiling. Giggles. Basketball 1, 2. 16

DOROTHY DONALDSON A crackerjack basketball player and an alert, fair referee. She is a brilliant student and always volunteers for Mr. Jones. Another sirl gone secretarial too. Good luck, Dot, and remember your pals at Braintree High ' 37 wherever you may be. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track Team 3, 4; MARY DONOYAN Quiet little Mary, but always on hand when needed. Wonder what Winona would do without her. ' I ' he pair are as inseparable pals as B. H. S. has seen, ilarj ' s name is usually seen on the Honor Roll no matter what happens to others. Basketball 1; W. .vip. tuck 4; Year Book 4; Class Prophecy 4. WILLIAM DRINAN Easy going, carefree, and a snappy dresser. Bill is small but ' effective. His rapid speech knocks you off your feet. He likes the girls, and how! Learned to bustle about behind a counter. Football. 4 MARY DRUMMEY Introducing our all-star hockey player and can she i)lay hockey! Mary is very fond of athletics and I hear she ' d rather play basketball than eat. The hockey team will miss Mary next year, but we know she ' ll be a successful teacher. Field Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Gym ' I ' eam 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Wampatuck. 4; Orchestra 1 ; Track 3. MARY DUNNE Here is another of our athletes. My, what will Miss Daughraty do next year! Mary is one of our happy-go-lucky students and never seems to have a care. Wherever she goes we know she ' ll be a huge success. Band 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Junior Prom 3; Track 3. THOMAS EMMETT Skunk, as his better friends call him, is one of the retiring members of our Senior class. Skunk prefers working in a gas station to attending social activities, and maybe he ' s right. Anyway he ' s always there with a cheerful greeting. Good luck. Basketball 1, 2 , 3; Football 1; Track 4. HORACE ENO Sometime in the near future we are going to find Horace President of the First National Bank. He has shown himself verj- energetic as Mr. Strangford ' s assistant. Hor- ace proves his promptness, arriving daily at one minute before eight. Gym team 2; “Pirates Daughter” 2; Hi Y Club 4; Orchestra 2 , 3; Minstrel Show 4, Band 2, 3; Wampatuck. Play 3; Class Gift 4. MARION ENOS Marion is that tall, well dressed j’oung lady whom 3 ' ou see walking down the corridors surrounded bj ' fellows. Marion deserves a big hand because she dares to be differ- ent, thus being the envy of many of her class mates. “Pirate ' s Daughter” 2; Dramatic Club 3; Wampatuck 3, 4; Year Book 3, 4; Ring Committee 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Min- .strel Show 4; Class Seal 4; Class Will 4. WILLIAM FARRINGTON One of the tallest boj-s in the class. William ' s name is very often seen on the Honor RolL He is jather qiiiet so nobody knows much about his ambitions. He .should be a success in college and in later life. “Pirate ' s Daughter” 2; Wam- p. TUCK 4; Year Book 4; Class Song Committee 4: Minstrel Show 4; Prom Committee 3. HELEN FERGUSON One of those girls whose hair speaks for herself. She is a verj- accomplished horse-back rider as might be expected. Her con- tagious smile has captivated many a shy fellow who poses to ba an ardent woman-hater. Minstrel Show 4. ANNIE FERRANTE Short, dark-haired, snapping brown eyes describes Annie. If vou ' re in the habit of reading the Honor Roll, that ' s probably where j’ou heard of Annie before. With her scholastic abilitj ' and ambitious nature, Annie ought to go places. Basketball 1, 2, 4; Orchestra 1. ARLENE FIELD Arlene, who hails from Hingham, is that brown haired, blue-ej’ed j ' oung ladj ' who is usually laughing about something between everj- period. She has been rather auiet this year, however. We wonder if it is because of her outside interest. Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 3; Dramatic Club 3; G m Team 3; Graduation 4. 18
