Page Twffe' DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL KATE ALICE BELK With wit 'lvcll-iiatnrefl, null with hooks 'well bred. Kit may have 'talmost popped on various occasions, but we weren't at all sur- prised when she told us that her favorite occupation is acting and that she plans to attend a college of dramaties. Nor were we a whit bowled over when she added that she hopes to play Evangeline, for wasn't she voted our most ambitious girl? In fact, when you come to know Kit you're not much surprised at any- thing she says or does. ELIZABETH BENNETT The dfumtless spirit of resolution. After graduating from Bos- ton University, Betty plans to teach school. At present, she uses her spare time de- veloping pictures and riding: here and there tmostly there? in her Ford. We wonder whether her favorite expres- sion, Oh dear, will be di- rected toward her pupils or the one and only. ROBERT LEONARD BENSON If we do well here, 'we shall do well there. A model T Ford brings to mind this modern mechanic, for Airbrakes is identined with engines and inventions of all kinds. Benny's ambi- tion is to die laughing. Let's hope it won't be fulfilled too soon. PHYLLIS EDWINA BLAKE Born for success she seems, with grace to will and ll heart to hold. Phyllis may get all A's on her report card, but she knows enough not to spell a big word like procrastinating with all a's because other than the fact that it's her fa- vorite occupation, she's the champion speller among the seniors. Phyllis wants to bc somebody and as one lap in the journey hopes to go to college. Hello, picklepussf' :--he says, as if trying to make us believe that she's an old grouch, when we know all the time she's really a rare person to know. STANLEY HAROLD BLUMENTHAL A well-bred, gentlcmcmly man. We are waiting to hear Stan say Great day! when he passes his first book-re- port, which won't be soon if he keeps on relaxing-his favorite occupation. Resi- dents of Dedham will always remember him as the great fixe1'-upper in the senior play. If vou see him years f1'om now, a successful Hol- lywood star, he will probably greet you with, Howdy, Hezzie! YVONNE TERESA BOLDUC A rare conipozuzcl of fun and frolic. Why, Daddy! Yvonne exclaimed when she discov- ered that she was to have the part of the vivacious teacher in the senior play, for dancing' is her favorite occupation. Frenchy's des- tination is Holland and France-honeymoon trip, or the result of her fulfilled am- bition, to be an A-1 book- keeper? MICHAEL JERRY BONGO Still waters run deep. Bingo Bongo's fame as a storekeeper spread after the reading of his essay in assembly. We're afraid that if he continues his favorite occupation, sitting' in a soft chair, he'1l never attain his ambition to be a manager. Perhaps when he says, If I had a million dollars, he refers in some way to his destination, Hollywood. CORINA H. BRACONI With malice toward none, with charity for all. We hope that when Corina gets into the business world she won't say, Oh keep quiet! to her bossg for if she does, she won't see Eu- rope, in which case she can always fall back on skating, and go via the Olympics-or maybe she'll just go a' may- ing.

i937 YEAR BOOK Page IL'lcm'n MARY JANE AGEE Were silence golden, I'd be nearly broke. In case you don't know it Jane's destination is heaven. where we can picture her, sitting on a cloud, playing swing music to the angels on her saxophone. Her ambition is to be a private secretary -to Saint Peter, perhaps? If she continues to be as peppy and full of fun as we've known her to be, she can't help making good. WILLIAM JOHN ANDERSON, JR. 'Tis not what man does which l'.l'CIlfS him, but what mail would do. Jackie's outside activities keep him so busy that he is seldom seen about after school hours. Well-known among the boys for his abil- ity as bicycle mechanic, he enjoys all spo1'ts, particularly swimming. Since his destina- tion is anywhere, he will surely reach it. To all this Jackie would probably say nonchalantly, So what? ROSE ELIZABETH AUSTIN A sweet, attractive kind of face. Ding bust it, as she would say, we can't imagine Rose roller-skating on the- sidewalks of New York, but we may yet see her canoeing up the Hudson. Fifi, or Baby Austin , as she is commonly known, aspires to be a secretary to some New York business man. See you on Wall Street, Rose. PRISCILLA BAILEY We are the music 'HlCllC6l'S,' we are the clreamers of dreams. If Prissy should fall off a horse she would probably say, Oh goodness -but if she is able to ride as well as she plays a violin, she should be an expert eques- trienne. Her ambition is to study dietetics at Framing- ham, but her destination is Honolulu, where she'll prob- ably be frying pineapple for the natives. V EDWARD ANDREW BEC TKE R, JR. L'lVlzi1'l1 way shrill I fly! One of these days Ed may be found as an otlicer in the navy, for right now he's rather active in Sea Scouting. Ed doesn't talk much about himself, so we can't give you any of the details, but we hear he's a conscientious worker and a friend who Wears well. FREDERICK JOSEPH BEC KE R He is wise who th iulcs much, speaks little, and writes less. This gallant Spanish Cava- lier, whose destination, in his own words, is Quien sabe? enjoys walking to .... 7 We wonder whether he used his favoiite expression, So whatl , after that well-known Bank Night when he walked out. Appropriately enough, Canary Eyebrow's ambition is to succeed in winning 3300. CATHERINE MARY BEDARD Some succeed by what they lfuozv, some by what they do, and Cl few by wlzut they ure. If someday you should wake up in a hospital and hear ycur nurse singing the latest song and fervently ex- claiming, Yeah Maul , she will probably be none other than your former classmate, Kay Bedard. Her cheerful, geneious, and kind-hearted disposition will enable her to succeed. DAVID MOORE BEDELL Did nothing in particular and did it rcry well. After D graduates from Dartmouth, he aims to be- come vice-president of a bank, where he will be at lei- sure to eat, drive, swim, and dance. Our reaction to this plan is to say, as he often does, You've got something there, kid. Good natured D will be remembered for his witty remarks and his class spirit.

i937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirteen EDMOND E. BROWN The wisest man the world e'er saw, He dearly loved the lasses, O!!! Ed claims that his des- tination is the Y.M.C.A., but during his high school days it seemed to have really been Boston, and the movies. His gymnastic s k i l 1 indicates that he will be successful as a physical education instruc- tor. Yen Ho! tEd's Chinese for And how D. FREDA MARJORIE BRUNTON Four be the things I could well do without: Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. You said it! says Fritz, when asked if her destination is really Wellesley College. Her friendly, vivacious dis- position is very appropriate for her ambition to be a buy- er. In her spare time you will find Freda skating, read- ing, keeping various Dedham boys interested, and studying for college boards. IVY LOUISE BURDELL She was just the quiet kind whose natures never vary. Where do you work, Ivy? In the telephone company. Let's hope Blon- die doesn't use her favorite expression, Holy Cow, when she realizes her ambi- tion to be an operator in the New England Telephone Company. In her spare time, we'll find her dancing or roller-skating. FRANCES CANNATA This little girl is not so tall, But oh, how she plays bas- ketballlu To use Fran's own words, You know what, she wants to be a physical education teacher! Her destination is California, where she will keep the populace guessing which is Kay Francis any- way. Fran likes to dance and type-and, may we say, she is the type. 9, fi - ...ig mg., W l.QNw,.,.,4 . k-.QQ ANNE E. CARLSON Sl1e's u :wry tiny HIfII'St'l.,, A n n e ' s destination is really where her heart is- tand we suggest Clark Ga- blej. Shrimp likes to dance, swim, golf, and work. Added to these, reading and keeping on the watch for that high-salaried position which it is her ambition to hold, should keep her oc- cupied. ANTHONY R. CARPINO D0ll,l cross the bridge till you come to it ls a proverb old and of ex- eelleut wit. We don't mean to keep carping about things, but have you heard that Carp Carpino has an ambition? He wants to be an aviator. Skating is his favorite occu- pation. What does he do summers? For crying out loud, Carp would answer, W'hat do you think? RUTH E. CASEY A still small voice. Yeh man, Ruth told us when we found her wool- gathering, which seems to be an appropriate occupation since her destination is Uto- pia. We don't quite see the connection between Utopia and her ambition to be a sec- retary, but our guess is that Ruth's smile will Hx it all up. ERIC FREDERICK CAVE He is well paid that is well satisfied. Another one of our strong, silent men wil not consent to tell us anything about him- self. After a good deal of investigation we did find out that he likes to skate, and we're quite sure that he also enjoys sleeping.
