GEORGE HUMES Meet our muscle man, the fam- ous Mr. George Humes. He is our short, blond, amateur boxer, our second Samson. It has been said that George is a bashful blusher, but we have our doubts. Oh, yes. George is also a member of the ever famous Foxy Rhythmers. MADELINE IOHNSON Long blonde, neatly combed hair. two large dimples, sparkling eyes. and a lively personality, and what else could you ask for? Madeline has all these assets, plus a friendly manner that gained her many, many friends. Most girls like to travel in cars, but not Madeline! She preferred a motorcycle! ELIZABETH HUSSEY Betty is the envy of many girls because of her neatness in ap- pearance and in work. She is everybody's friend because of her kindness and friendliness. A cer- tain something in her personality makes people like her even more. Betty is a member of the Honor Society, and she well deserves the honor. MARION IN GRAHAM Marion is a very quiet girl in school but after school hours her interests are varied. One of her favorite pastimes is visiting in Manchester. A jolly. good nature, natural blonde hair plus a pleas- ant smile will help Marion on her way to the top. Good luck, Mar- ion! ARTHUR IVES Ski was our star track man, who raced to the finish line of the four-forty at Yale. and broke the state record. His dry humor and very casual remarks drove us in- to spasms of laughter. We hear that Ski can stack up the dishes in no time at all. GAY IONES Gay was that demure senior with a pleasant. lady-like manner and a shy voice, Miss Holmes' favorite oral talker . But be- neath that quiet manner was hid- den a mischievous wit, with which she delighted in teasing others. One of our best dressed. Gay was always extremely neat and well-groomed. ARTHUR IYLKKA Art is a flash on the basketball court and his knowledge of pho- tography could fill a few books. Even when you get him talking on his favorite topics of photog- graphy and sports, Art is quite bashful. Art usually starts his vacation in February after the mid-year report instead of in Iune. IAMES KAVANAUGH Presenting Casanova Kavan- augh. The technique Iimmy uses in accomplishing everything he does. is nothing more than his re- vealing a sincere. naive, and hu- morous personality. It is this personality that made him a lead- er wherever he was. and a re- markably successful president of HUMPHREY IEFFREY Of course you know the tune entitled Smiles. Well, if you ever come in contact with Humphrey. you will see a smile that can't be described. There isn't a minute of the day when Humphrey is without a smile. Don't ever miss the opportunity of meeting him. his class MARY KENNEDY Mary was a rather shy young miss. Nothing seemed to bother her too much but somehow her work was always done, and then there was plenty of time for fun. Mary's beautiful red hair was noticeable in any crowd. On oc- casion she could blush delight- fully, much to her annoyance but not to ours.

She l' likes sports, especially basket- ball Incidentally, we have lean to thank for helping to keep the road open from the north end of town to Bumside. I-IELGE HI-ZNDRICKSON Helge certainly did spend a lot of time waiting for a certain girl by the name of Gracie in 107 after school. When walking he had a habit of jerking his thumb over his shoulder and shaking his head' Of course, we know he didnt mean it. EDWARD HERRICK Eddie, as we call him. is one boy who goes about with a smile on his face no matter how dark the times. If he works as hard after he graduates as he does in the orchestra he will be one of our most prominent citizens. Miss Rayner will miss him. ELSIE HELM Elsie was a quiet and pleasant girl in our school who never took things too seriously. Her modest personality, her friendliness, and playful good humor are a few outstanding characteristics add- ing to her charms. She proved herself to be a true friend to all who knew her. THELMA HOFFMAN Thelma was a girl with lovely blonde hair and a delightful gig- gle. Club activities and ping pong occupied much of her time. One of her main interests was dramat- ics. She could either act in. or direct a play with equal success. Chemistry, with history a close second, was her favorite subject. fr -'FR Q., 'WU SHIRLEY HILLMAN Shirley is the girl who speaks with a sweet, well-modulated voice at all times. Her gentle manner and actions make her the model of a perfect lady. Shirley appears to be quiet but really she is loads of fun. What is this we hear about baton-twirling? Ruth is the girl with the natural WILLIAM HOLLIS Bill believes in talking only when he has something worth- while to say, but at the same time, he is very tolerant in listening to others blow off steam. This silence of Bill's may have its advantages but it has prevented Bill from re- ceiving much of the credit rightly due him. ALLEN HOLLISTER Allen is a quiet, bashful fellow, but we hear he is quite talkative in history class. Although sports are not his specialty, he is an authority on horseback riding. Several young ladies are hoping to see Allen on the dance floor at the senior prom this Iune. DONALD HOUSE It is no longer Don. It is Buck now since Mr. House had a formal introduction to a shot gun loaded with buck shot. However. Buck doesn't need an introduction to the students of East Hartford High School. He is well known and well liked by everyone. 5 wavy hair that many of us en- vied. Her quick answers and come-backs startled many of us, for Ruth looked like the very quiet type of person. Her friendly companionship with Helen was one that we all admired and re- spected.

Helen's blond hair and her friend Ruthie's black hair reminds one ot a black and white duetsthey get along so harmoniously. We hear Helen is really good on roller skates. LEONARD LaBARRON This tall, slim, dark-haired fel- low kept many of us guessing about him. Duke was a quiet lad. but he had a nice smile and a personality that made everyone like him. We all know that Duke will do well in the future. Good luck, Duke. RICHARD KNOWLES There is something about a soldier, especially when the girls are concerned as our friend Dick will no doubt soon discover. But don't think tor a minute that Dick is going to resent any feminine attention he may receive. Seri- ously though, we all admire Dick tor his patriotism. He'll make a good soldier. IRVING KRANTZ Irving was a happy-go-lucky fellow, who didn't let school both- er him very much. His sense oi humor caused many teachers to frown, and many of us students to laugh. He was an ardent cam- era tan, and he could give many pointers on the art of photog- raphy. DOROTHY KUSIAN Who's that giggling in the back of the room? Oh, it's that cute little red head, Dot Kusian, with the winning smile. Once she starts giggling. there's no stop- ping her. She may seem serious. but if you catch her unaware, you'll usually find her enjoying a good joke. ARLENE LQDUKE Xiiwljww' Iolly is the most appropriate word to describe Arlene. It only we other girls had her punctual ways of getting places on time! Did you know that Arlene is a twin? Well, believe it or not, Doris and Arlene are, despite the fact they don't look at all alike. DORIS LaDUKE Doris is one of our outstanding students and has well eamecl her position on the Honor Society. She was very active in clubs and en- joyed coaching the girls in gym very much, especially when it came to basketball or ping pong. The saying, good things come in small packages, certainly applies to Doris. THOMAS LANDERS Nobody was more polite than Friday. He was always saying pardon, pardon when asked a question. This was his way of stalling for time while thinking of an answer. On the football field he wore a helmet that slid up and down over his eyes . . . He used it for a visor. CHRISTINE KYPREOS This dark-eyed, dark-haired girl is always ready with a smile for everyone she greets. She knows more about office machin- ery than the average well-trained mechanic knows about airplanes. Her secret passion, dancing, is probably what leads to her sure iootwork on a basketball court. BARBARA LANE Here she is boys!! One ol the snappiest gals in the '41 class. Short and chubby, pretty, and just brimming over with happi- ness, Bobby is quite the whiz in her shorthand class too-so here she is boys-just the girl to take your dictation. Good luck, Bar- bara!
