CHARLES DUBIEL No doubt you have seen Char- lie playing at the basketball games, and you probably know him well. He worked diligently when a freshman until he made the first team. Although basket- ball was his favorite sport, he sel- dom missed a football game. ELIZABETH EVANS Betty's shining hair, darting eyes. and high heels attracted many glances. She was a firm believer in the statement, Live and let live. She was nonchal- ance itself. Her pet pastimes were chewing gum and talking over a coke with friend Peggy. What's this we hear about a boyfriend in every port, Betty? NORMAN DUMAS Don't be down-hearted, girls. We all know how much you are going to miss your handsome boy- friend, Norm, but remember, you still have his picture to bring back fond memories. All kidding aside, Norm is no ladies' man. His boyfriends more than equal his girlfriends in number. BARBARA ECKER Sincerity, determination, and dependability-all these are Bar- bara's. One of our most active and most popular class members, Bobbie had an unusual abund- ance of enthusiasm. Because she was one of those rare people who always expressed her honest opinions, we liked her all the more. DONALD ELLIOTT What a man! Pop kept many of the feminine hearts aflutter, but alas. he has eyes for Doris only. An all-around good sport and an excellent fun-maker-that was Pop. He could always keep the teachers guessing with his quick comebacks. We know Pop will succeed! LEONARD FERRARI Now. wait a minute, give us a chance. We know that you know all about him. Yes, you also know all about his 100 yard run for a touchdown. but do you know that he was responsible for a great number of touchdowns through his blocking ability? He was equally skilled in basketball. ROSALEEN FITZGERALD Fitzie is our little Irishman. Her jolly ways and devil-may-care actions kept us in high spirits all of the time. Attention!!! all Irish- men4Fitzie always shows parti- ality to Irish boyfriends, and from the latest reports she has one hooked now. Fitz could always keep the party going with her sweet voice. CLAYTON FOLEY This potential ladies' man could be found most anywhere about the school sporting a bow tie that undoubtedly had a snap- py comeback. Clayton's favorite subject was physics. Many were the times that Clayton sat poring over his physics book deep in thought. Perhaps some day he may become a great scientist. THELMA ERICSON Tully is noted for her ever-relia- ble personality and charm. Did you ever see her smile? That smile seems to always sparkle at you whenever you meet her. Night or day, Tully is willing to help her friends in need, and she is always ready to make new ac- quaintances. GERVAISE FOURNIER Whenever thinking of Gervaise we always remember her expert leadership in some of the girls' gym classes. Full of pep, a jolly pal to have around, and a good listener-that's Gervaise. Her appearance, especially her large, sunny smile, is always refreshing and her company is welcomed everywhere.

WALTER DERECK The old proverb, Still water runs deep. certainly applies to Walt. He is a very good listener and always preferred listening to talking, unless he had something worth while to say. Walt's favor- ite past time is duck hunting in the deep meadows, but we won- der just how much roast duck Walt has had. DONALD DOTY There just aren't enough words to do Don justice. Typical Ameri- can student-handsome. ambiti- ous, and fun-loving, that's Don. Trite as it may be, Don's blue eyes simply sparkled with devil- try. If he were a Mormon, he surely wouldn't lack a harem. The lucky girls! Seriously, his long strides will carry him far. RENA DICKEHSON V' Good company is welcome everywhere! Renie is liked by everyone and we always liked to see her joining one of the chatty groups in the corridor before 8:30. Her long bob, rosy cheeks, and chubby face gave her that longed for school-girl look . What made the sophomore boys' hearts jump. Renie? Bonsai' DONNELLI tj Although Bob's nicknames changed as frequently as the weather. we'll all remember him as R. D., Comrade X, and the Great Lover. We knew better than to argue with him about football or basketball, for Bob knew his onions when it came to these subjects. ARLENE DONOFRIO Dates, dates and more dates are the words that run constantly through Arlene's mind, and we don't mean the kind that grow in the desert. When we hear that familiar phrase, What has she got that we haven't got? , and the answer is still dates. Who is the latest heart-throb, Arlene? :H gg : 's. fi.'-1: . .., .. gs... x ttitt l s 1 q vs. 'tt -4- ts A sr J K Hs QM tggifll X. ,ts DOROTHY DOUGHTY Dorothy is another blonde mem- ber of the famous trio-Dorothy, Evelyn, and Dolores. She is a gay, happy-go-lucky girl with blue eyes that reflect the mischief in her soul. Oh, but her mischief is quite harmless, we assure you. Seriously though, Dot is a very welcome member of our class. FRANCIS DOUGHTY Is that a machine gun firing, or are we hearing things again? No. it can't be a machine gun but look! It's Doughty, the master of the typewriter, and we don't mean a fireann. Oh say, have you heard him play the organ? That is, the mouth organ. ANDREW DOWDEN And there was with us a typist, Dowden by name, as Chaucer might have put it. Andie and a basketball spell a queer combin- ation. This lad could shoot the weirdest shots! We hear you'll never be a soldier, Andy. The story tells strange tales of your marching in gym. J, GERALDINE DONOVAN Gerry was a girl of few words. She has a glimmer in her eyes, a shy smile, but very seldom does she speak. We never hear Gerry say a word of criticism about anyone or utter a complaint about anything. Gerry deserves the best in life because she is one of the best. MARGARET DROWN Happy am I, from care I am free . Peg's the girl with flashing eyes and ability to roll them! She never lets studies interfere with her social life. Because of her liveliness and friendliness, she was well liked by all. Peg is al- was busy evenings with . . . you know who.

IUNE FREEMAN Laugh, and the world laughs with you! Isn't that right. Iune? Whenever something bothered her Iune took it with a smile. Many a time when the situation was bad, Iune would take the whole matter as a joke, and soon make all as happy as she herself was. Keep it up, Iune. VIRGINIA GEIGER If a quiet manner was pre- ferred, you could always call on Ginny. She was quiet and sin- cere, conscientious and depend- able. However, there was the glint of fun in her eye. Chemistry was one of her favorite subjects: she always seemed to know the answer even if the rest of us didn't. ROBERT FREEMAN Robert was in the thick of many an argument in Problems, wheth- er about politics or a problem of democracy. He was at his prime at the time of the presidential election. He also bowed a mean violin in the orchestra. We hear he was fond of doing things on the spur of the moment. SHIRLEY FRENCH Shy, sweet, sincerefthafs Shir- ley. Her deep blue eyes, natural wavy hair and girlish expression were typical of blissful youth. How she hated book reports! Yes, English really got her down. How- ever, we predict that she will someday be haunting the lending libraries. What's your favorite hangout, Shirley? MILDRED FUNK W Lovely dark hair and smiling eyes. and there you have Millie. She is an ardent sports enthusi- ast. Mention horse riding and see the effect it has on her! Millie participates in many school activ- ities and does much work to help make the clubs progress effici- ently. MARIORIE GEMME body's pal. She would do best to help anyone out of a and believed in looking at bright side of life. Having own philosophy of human ture, Marge knew all the swers. Her chief need is alarm clock. KATHRYN GHAGAN you meet Kathy, you will MARY IANE GHAGAN Always good-natured and de- pendable, Marge was every- her jam the her na- an- an Kathy has admirable blue eyes that attract your immediate at- tention. She is tall and slender and is one of the best dressed students in the school. Whenever S66 Shirley. her best friend, with her. Whatever she undertakes, you may be sure, will be well-done. Mary lane is one girl whom one can always depend on for help. She never seemed to have a worry in the world. Mary is a profound lover of football and basketball and. therefore, is al- ways present at all the games as a loyal student of the high school. SARINO GAROF ALO Sarino was an ace photograph- er and spent most of his leisure time mixing chemicals to produce a good t?J solution of hypo. He was another of our seniors who had an ambition to be a ham- radio operator. What happened, Sarino. did you lose all interest or was it love? BETTY GRANT Who is the girl with the jet- black hair? Why, of course, it's Betty. Betty is a quiet girl and is always accompanied by Iackie- her inseparable pal. We hope to see Betty succeed in her chosen plans for the future. Best of luck, Betty.
