LORRAINE GERTRUDE O'NEIL Lively Lulu thinks she may join the Marines, and if she does, is that boot-camp going to be amused! Talking in Mr. Ryan's class has exhausted herg so, after graduating, she's going to take a vacation. WALTER OVERKO Sledge left early for the Navy, but not till after he'd led the football team through a most, successful season. Ma- chines are his hobby and he'll soon become a first-class me- chanic. MARIE LOUISE PACKER Trudy claims that her chief interest is keeping up her sai- lor's morale. After gradua- tion she plans to become a sec- retary, but when the war ends and the fleet's tied up, she'll become a loving wife. HENRY CLIFFORD PATCHIN Birdie's skill with machinery and his willingness to work hard will make him a valuable man in some war plant. When things become peaceful again, he'll be able to polish up his pool game and go boating more often. JANETTE M. PENNEY For the next few years the Norfolk and Dedham Insur- ance Company will continue to have Janette as its star cleri- cal worker. Then, when her Big Moment in the Army Air Corps returns, she'll settle down and make that beautiful, little home. 1944 YEAR BOOK NANCY PETTENGILL We hope the girls at Mt. Holyoke College enjoy Nancy's sweet smile and sunny disposi- tion as much as we have, but they had better not shorten her X periods so she can't get her homework done, or else! ESTHER LOUISE PORAZZO Esther hurried from school all year to her job of drilling holes in bomb shells. During X periods she was an energetic war-stamp seller. Surely, such patriotism ought to be reward- ed with a nice blue-eyed sailor. NANCY PUTNAM When Don comes marching home with the Marines after the war, Put's going to have herself a good time. If she makes as big a hit with the world as she did as Julie in June Mad, she'll be doing all right for herself. MARY PHYLLIS PUTNEY Philly works at Sturtevant's to provide postage-stamp money for writing to a soldier sta- tioned ovlerseas. Slhe's liked Topper's history class and the seat beside Jake's desk in Eng- lish. Eventually, she'll get married, but right now she's another Sinatra fan. VIRGINIA PYEE Jini's quiet manner has won her many friends in D. H. S. Outside of collecting records, her chief aim is to be a secre- tary. With her sweet smile and quiet charm she'll make any oflice pleasant. Page 21

JOSEPH FRANCIS MURPHY Joe, whose chief interests are football and red-headed women, has left us to join the Navy. Wherever he goes, his pleasant disposition and good humor will win everyone as it did us. JAMES FRANCIS NAGLE After his appointment with the U. S. Navy, Jimmy is go- ing to attend Bentley's and study to become a C. P. A. Then we'll see him handling all the accounts for the First Na- tional Stores, Inc. DOROTHY VIVIAN NEALE Twinnie, who enjoyed the school proms more than any- thing else here-even more than Topper's tests, will attend Katherine Gibb's next year. It will be a very lucky boss who has Dot for a secretary. MARTHA LOUISE NEALE The other half will also at- tend Katherine Gibbs. The girls there may have trouble telling them apart- we did- but it won't matter so much be- cause they're both such lovely ladies. JUNE PEARL NEGRINI Dinky likes to teach dancing, and we're sure she'll waltz her- self right through business school and into an attractive position. With her hearty laugh and broad smile, she'll give any office an extra beam of light. Page 20 HELEN VERNA NELSON Bunny enjoyed sending Mr. Ryan's 4E into hysteries with her innocent side remarks. She's thinking of becoming a Cadet Nurse and then an interior decorator. For the rest, you'll have to talk to Roy. MOLLIE ELIZABETH NESBIT When Nez isn't busy with her chief interests-dancing, men, and her dog, she'll find time to attend Leland Powers School. Soon we'll be able to hear her just by dialing our favorite station on the radio. WILLIAM HENRY NEWMAN, JR. Bill, an Eastern Massachu- setts all-star hockey player, has fond memories of the food in the cafeteria. He'll prob-- ably enter the Navy soong af- ter the war, he'll come back to holmes, sweet holmes. IRVING LESTER NICKERSON Nick's only plans now are to join the Navy, get the war over with, and then settle down to some really serious hunting and fishing. He liked his fellow pupils at D. H. S. and they liked him. LYDIA CLARA OLSON Lydie, a new comer from Roslindale this year, has dis- tinguished herself by becoming class genius, most ambitious, and a prize Quiz Kid. After the war she wants to travel in her helicopter and her jeep and see what's left of the world. DEDHAM H IGH SCHOOL
