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.

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.
