Alan N. Co operman Speech is great, silence is greater. Alan is a sports-loving fellow, of pleasing personality and with a good sense of humor.

A I , ' though not a testimonial student, had no trouble getting through his four years at C. H. S. Alan has been accepted at Lowell Textile, where he will start his studies in the fall. Success to Alan from the Class of 1951. Tau Sigma; History Circle; Prom Committee; Baseball 4. Marlene Ann Crowley Gentle and small and well beloved by all. Marlene is a petite miss who hails from the North End. She is captain of our cheer- leaders, and her leadership left little to be desired. Besides doing this she takes a great interest in all sports, especially baseball, her favorite team being the Boston Braves. Mar, being very popular among her classmates, has seldom missed any of the school activities. Although she has never taken a great interest in schoolwork she has always managed to achieve good standing with her classmates. Mar has no definite plans for the future but the Class of 51 wishes her the best of luck in anything that she may undertake.

He is an excellent student, and has kept his name high on the testimonial list throughout his four years in hi gh school. One of his favorite pastimes is playing baseball for C. H. S.

Chris John Dionis The superior man has neither anxiety nor fear. Now we come to Chri«, one of the bright (in disposition and mind), carefree members of the Class of ' 51. Always ready with a clever answer, Chris has been able to breeze through C. H. S. with top marks received with very little strain, an enviable feat. An industrious worker, he has done much to bring glory and fame to our class. Chris is indeed a friend to all. A star on the basketball court, his one-hand push shots saved many a game for us. A question in the minds of many is whether his eye is better for baskets or girls. Chris ' desire is to become a journalist, and his classmates wish him success which we know he will achieve.

We now have Jack, one of the most talented members of our class. Jack, with his marimba, has graced many C. H. S. functions and he has been a prominent member of the band for many years. His talents for the arts, however, are not confined entirely to music as may be evidenced by his plans for the future. Jack would like to be either an architect or a designer, and the best wishes of the Class of 51 go with him in which- ever of these careers he may select.

The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do. The spotlight falls on another distinguished member of our class, Jim Donohue, California ' s contribution to C. H. S. Jim is well-known for his ability on the football field and rates high with all his fellow classmates both on and off the gridiron. Carefree and happy-go-lucky, a worry scarcely creases this lad ' s brow, thus he has won the friendship of many. Although not scholastically inclined, he had no trouble between studies and football. After graduation, Jim plans to attend college and we, the Class of 1951, wish him success in whatever field he undertakes.

It ' s just Alice and her twin sister, Mary. Few people can tell the two apart, even their closest friends find it hard. Alice has been one of our most active class members. She dotes on athletics, and when not cheering for the boys basketball and baseball teams, performs creditably herself on the court. Alice has a cheerful smile for everyone and is always seen with “Ellie and the kids.” Alice hasn’t made up her mind whether it will be nursing or the WACS, but whatever it is, the Class of ' 51 wishes her success.
