i937 YEAR BOOK MARION E. PUFF There is grace 'in small things. If in a few years you should take the words right out of her mouth and ask Squeaky, How's every little thing? she'll very probably be able to tell you that she's riding high, for she's out to get a good job with a future in it, and will work hard to obtain what she wants. In her leisure time if it isn't dancing, its cards, and if it isn't cards, it's Bea- no. We can't imagine Pufiie lacking something to do. ANTHONY RECUPERO I'ilIainy and he be 'many miles asunderf' In a few years Tony will be greeting Jimmy Foxx with his friendly, How are you? if he realizes his am- bition to be a big leaguer. He'd better get over his fav- orite occupation of eating or else he'll be lumbering around the bases. Slide, Tony, slide! JOSEPHINE RECUPERO The more yon know of her, the better you like her. Isn't that cute! is often Jo's first thought and the reaction seems to be reversi- ble, for we have the same sensation when observing her friendly, pert manner. Jo plans to be a hairdresser and her efficiency and light- heartedness should bring her lots of customers-if her love of teasing doesn't drive them away. After gradua- tion she hopes to get a posi- tion in the business World. Go to it, Jo! MARY B. REDDY Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay. We can imagine without much difficulty that any per- son as friendly and amiable as Mary will be at home any- where and will be a welcome addition to any business oflice as a secretary. The only catch is that she might take too much time out for her favorite occupation of sleeping. Page Tzvenly-seven ELEANOR JEAN RENAUD ufilllfllifltllll has buf one re- wrzrd for all. So what? Eleanor's des- tination is the Sahara Des- ert, maybe. If she does ar- rive there we wish her lots of luck in finding many shady oases where she can keep on with her favorite oc- cupation of bookkeeping. As certified public accountant she should be able to keep the business affairs of the Arabs in order. JAMES RUSSELL RILEY l'fn sure cu1'e's an enemy to life. Russ delights in being a mover and may someday sur- prise us by moving in on the 4100 for We're told he likes to make dates with them. He has plans of be- coming a soda jerker and has been gaining experience at Johnson's. PASCOE ROBERTS 'Tz's my fanziliar sin to jest When Pascoe has grad- uated from college he hopes to be able to pass the bar iwe trust he means that he wants to be a lawyerj. When told that he had been voted our most reliable boy, Pascoe merely replied, You don't say, showing the calm non- chalance with which he ac- cepts life. On warm spring days and during the summer you'll find him canoeing on the River Charles. CHARLES BYRON ROBINSON The world belongs to the energetic. With unnatural mildness, Byron says, Oh my good- ness! We echo his thought when he informs us that his destination is the U. S. Na- val Academy. It isn't much of a strain on the imagina- tion to picture Byron in a snappy sailor's outfit. When he's admiral of the Queen's navy he'll most likely keep a canoe in tow on the flag- ship so that he can stop at his Whimsy and pursue his favorite pastime. Anchor's aweigh, Byron!

Page T'l'f 1fL'-Stiff DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL DOROTHY LOUISE PEAK The szvecfesf garland to flu' swccfcsf maid. Wherever there's a Web- ster's dictionary, there you'll find Dot, studying to improve her spelling. If she has her own way the dictionary will be situated from 1 to 1000 miles away from Dedham, but we suggest that such a nice person give the home- town a break. Her ambition is a 1'ather unusual one but we wish her success in it: she wants to provide a chick- en dinner for the patients of the Mattapan State Hospital. WILLIAM PENDERGAST None lmf himself can be his parallel. Bill wears t.he well-de- served title of best-dressed boy with distinction. Some day he hopes to go to col- lege and then devote the rest of his life to an ex- hausting study of Esquire- his favorite magazine, all of which adds up to Bill's own favorite expression, You said a mouthful. DONALD HUGO PETERSON How swecf is music. Egad, man! have you ever seen any of Petey's choice candid camera s h o t s? Many people would be much surprised to learn that he has snapshots of them in var- ious and sundry poses. We'd love to get one of Petey him- self trumpeting in the high school orchestra and being a noise-maker on occasion. outside of school. Like all of us, he wants to be a success in life. MARION EVA PETERSON lily days pass pleasantly a way. If Marion proves to be as good a secretary as she is a piano playe1', she'll rise high in her destination, the business world. HOh, I don't know about that! says Mar- ion, blushing modestly. BARBARA ANN PETTS She is preffy fo walk with and wiffy to talk with and pleasant foo, fo fhinlc ou. We all agree that Barbara cannot be speaking of her- self where she uses that fam- iliar expression of her senti- ments, Oh, you're awful! for she is one of the most personable members of our class. To be absolutely hap- py Cherub must be auto- mobile riding, so we wish her a long, long ride with only a short stop off at college to learn to be a dietitian. CHARLES ANDREW PODOLSKI All the women in the zrorlfl would not make me lose an hour. As a member of both the baseball and football squads, Charlie has won the reputa- tion of being one of our best- natured boys. He hopes to secure a job as an office worker a f t e r graduation. Perhaps you can play on the Iirm's baseball team, Char- le. ELINOR FRANCES PODOLSKE With a smile that glows. Take Puddles's gay per- sonality, add her generosity, and willingness to co-oper- ate, multiply by her chic clothes and smart appear- ance, subtract any idea in the back of your mind that she might be conceited, and the result can be nothing but one charming classmate who has always taken a ready part in school activities. FLORENCE LILLIAN PUFF One thing at least can bring me joy, I simply love fo eat. Puffy is another Dedham High fledgling bound for the business world, after she has completed her course at the Bryant Sz Stratton Commer- cial School. In the mean- time she spends her time lis- tening to opera and singing solos in a West Roxbury church. Puffy wants to be a singer. She didn't tell us to whom, but we have sus- picions.

Page Twenty-eiglzf DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LILIAN MARY RU EL A eonlrurle lnlifhe and full of glee. It's O. K. by us, too, Lil, ii' your destination is mar- riage, and we're sure it will also be quite O. K. by the lucky man. Don't let married life tie you down so much that you won't have time for dan c i n g and swimming, though. Right now, Lil hopes to get a good job as a typist. WARD RUSSELL Silence is lwffcr flmn meaningless morris. Ward is a shy, quiet per- son, but once get to know him well and you'll find him an interesting conversation- alist, as well as a good lis- tener. He spends a good deal of his spare time going to the movies, and although he doesn't say so we also know he enjoys walking long dis- tances. Ward wants to fol- low in Pete's footsteps and become a chemist. ROSE ANN SCAMPOLI Good sense, zoliirlz is flze only gift of l1c1l4'e:1. If Scampy applies the iiery pep and energy she displays in playing basket- ball, to becoming a secre- tary, any office where she works will be a lively, wide- awake establishment. To keep herself in training, Rose will spend her extra time swimming and dancing. Good luck, Scampyl LOUIS HENRY SCHALL l,1'fe is foo short' io worry. Louis is known about the school as a person who spends a considerable amount of time in plotting juicy p ra c tic al jokes. What's the score? says Louis, and we imagine that it's probably in his favor. 1. .A i HELEN FRANCES SCHLUP Bid me clis1'onrsc, and I will enchanf thine ear. It's hard to know just where to start with Schlupie, she's done so many things. After being such an efficient class president for the last three years, she certainly de- serves the honor of being voted the most school-spir- ited. She's also our most ar- gumentative member, as everyone knows after hear- ing her in campaign speech- es, class meeting, English and Civics classes. Her favo- rite occupation is reading, she wants to be a novelist, and hopes to get to China someday. MILDRED ROSE SCHOEN A good sport, and a loyal friend. Anyone as diminutive as Millie would have a hard time doing what she says she has during her four years in high school-the heavy looking on. That's what you think, , Millie in- forms us quickly. She's go- ing to Banford Academy and plans to find time for becom- ing a hairdresser and for dancing. RITA AGNES SHEEHAN A quiet worker, ci stead- fast friend. Rita is another modest soul who won't talk. We're told however that she feels like saying, Oh keep quiet! when people call her Shee- na. But instead usually she keeps silence and devotes herself to study and obser- vation, so that her name has been frequently seen on the honor roll. HARRY G. SHERBLOM Quiet and unassuming, he goes his gentle way. Hey, Harry! Is your fav- orite occupation hiking? Do you want to amount to some- thing in this world? Did you tell us that your destination is a place called one can never tell? Do you spend your spare time trying to keep your dog Husky from chewing up your family's hats? I reckon so, Harry has to admit.
