S I as 1952 Q ,L XX HENRY ALLEN BARBER 623 Reservoir Ave., Auburn Manllal Arts Although Hank is one of the quiet members of the class, he has one of the greatest assets for success-a sense of humor. He is accomplished in drawing and woodworking, and excels in both. Henry was a valuable member of the track team on which he was the star pole vaulter. Never was the practice too tedious or gruelling to overcome his enthusiasm for track work. Track 415 425 C35 C453 Indoor Track 425 C355 A. A. 415 425 C35 445. KATHERINE VIRGINIA BARNES 115 Villa Ave., Edgewood Commercial Although Kitty did not spend her freshman year with us, we have had the pleasure of three years of her company, for Holyoke's loss was Cranston's gain. She has played basketball for three years and has won her sweater and letter, The Green Lantern has profited by her ability in reporting the girls' athletic news. Kitty is planning to enter a business college, and who knows but that she may return to Cranston High School as an office assistant? R. Sec. C21 C4l,Leaders' C. C33 C4lgBasketball CZD C31 C419 A. A.

JULIA MARGARET BARNES 115 Villa Ave., Edgewood Commercial Julia believes that variety is the spice of life, for after spending the first two years of high school at Holyoke, june came to Cranston for a year, and then left for a brief stay in Cleveland, only to return to us again for her senior year. For this reason, many of us have not had the opportunity to 1l13.li6HJl1I1CYSH acquaintance, but those who have agree she is a good friend. Having completed four years of commercial studies, june has prepared to enter the business world. WADE NEWMAN BARSTOW 21 Spring St., Pawtuxet Scientific Immediately after his graduation Wade went to Washington to seek his fortune. Whether he will emerge from the capitol as a diplomat or as some other government official, we do not know. But we do believe that he will be successful in whatever Held of endeavor he may choose. During his four years here, Wade has built a fine reputation as a scholar, officer, and an all round good fellow. He has been a home room president and his scholastic excellence was rewarded by his election to the Rhode Island Honor Society. Span. C., R. Pres. C425 R. I. H. S.

Having been a valuable member of our basketball team for two years, she has shown her ability in sports. Do not think that basketball is her only accomplishment, for she excels in commercial sub- jects. Ruth is a very quiet, thoughtful, and reliable young lady with all the qualifications for a successful business career. She is going to attend Bryant- Stratton College to prepare for her life's work. MARY ELIZABETH BABCOCK 24 Mather Ave., Edgewood General What a hard time Cranston will have in trying to fill the vacancy that Mary will leave when she graduates! Her irrepressible giggle can be heard in the classroom when some industrious instructor is trying to teach us something. Mary has supported the Athletic Association for four years and attended many of our football games. She is planning to enter Katherine Gibbs' Secretarial School in the fall, and we know that some fortunate busi- ness man is going to find the perfect secretary in Mary Elizabeth. A. A.

In fact she is so quiet, that we hardly realize that she is around, yet we can depend upon her to accomplish successfully everything she is asked to do. Ruthie plans to enter the nursing profession, and we know she'll make a wonderful nurse as she has all the necessary requirements-sympathy, capability, tenderness, and understanding. A.

She never has any cause to become excited or disturbed by unexpected quizzes, because she always has her assignments so thoroughly prepared. Her quiet manner will be an asset to her in library work, a voca- tion which she hopes to pursue. Her classmates realize that she will succeed as a librarian because of her capability for grasping new subjects and mas- tering them. XCIOLET VENUS BESHARIAN 561 Laurel Hill Ave., Cranston Commercial Violet is among those fortunates who cherish two nicknames, and to judge by her constant giggle, she is always happy. Vi has served her school faithfully, and is known to all in the Commercial department for her dependability. As Bushy is undecided as to her future, we would suggest a secretaryship, for she seems quite competent in that line of work. Thyr. C. C15 C253 A. A. C35. 53 Boxwood Ave., So.
