JANETTE GRIGGS ( Giggles ). May 16, 1924, Waltham. Likes going to Howard Johnson ' s with the gang, going dancing, sundaes, and rare steaks. Favorite pastime is flirting--watch out boys I Janette dis¬ likes drunkards, conceited boys and having homework, especially over the week-end. There is no doubt but what Giggles will be remembered by her classmates as the happiest person around school and as a whiz of a driver. Janette is undecided about next year, but plans to go to some college and astonish the French teachers with her 90 and 100 averages . Good luck, Griggsie ' . FRANCIS HALL ( Frannie ). February 1, 1923, Needham. Frannie ' s suppressed desire is to meet the right girl. (We think he ' s just fickle.) During his Sophomore and Junior years, Francis took leave of our old Alma Mater and attended Stetson High in Randolph. But he soon came back, much to the delight of his former pals. As a singer he rates among the best, winning top honors in this field in the Senior statistics. Next year Frannie intends to further his education or join the navy. There ' s one in every port, fella . HAROLD HANNEY ( Sonny ). June 25, 1922, Waltham. In all around athletic ability there are few to challenge our Sonny , having been baseball captain for the last two years and an outstanding player in football and basketball. To go to Florida is his suppressed desire. Maybe he will get there as a baseball pro . Sonny ' s pet peeve is History, first period on Monday. From all appearances he has been looking rather depressed lately. Perhaps a consultation with 1940 ' s Happiest at the Lahey Clinic would cheer him up. We ' ll be looking for you on the Sport Page next year. Sonny. VIRGINIA HANSEN ( Glnny ). April 19, 1924, West Medford. Ginny hasn ' t sprouted any wings yet but she hopes to acquire a pair if she can fulfill her suppressed desire of becoming the first woman to be a trans¬ continental air pilot. Her particular likes are: Johnny Long ' s Shanty Town , sports, piano and grape¬ fruit juice, (w hich anyone who went to N.H. with her can tell you). Ginny has been a very valuable member in our class. A few of her activities include: Operetta ' 39, ' 40, ' 4l; Orchestra ' 40, ' 41; School Treasurer ' 4l, Cheerleader in ' 40, and Student Council ' 40, ' 41. Ginny hasn ' t decided which college will be the lucky one; but don ' t forget People may come, and people may go, but one stays in Ginny ' s heart forever.

EUGENIA HILL ( Jeannie ). July 21, 1923, Albany, Maine. Jeannie came to Weston in the eighth grade. She likes hot weather and hates snow. She says she has no pastime or chief interests, hut we think the word Maine would explain that. Jeannie seems to play very true to that boy back home . Next year she hopes to get a job as stenographer and bookkeeper. The best of luck to you, Jeannie, and remember: Maine ' s a long way off! BASIL JACKSON ( Bazz ). August 28, 1923 Edinburgh, Scotland. Although Basil has skipped around con¬ siderably during the last six years, he has managed to find time enough to enter into all school activ¬ ities, namely: basketball, baseball, and lead roles in the past three operettas. From the viewpoint of a non-partisan, Bazz ' s suppressed desire is to see a different president. Just wait ' till I960, Basil. Dances and sailing are his pet likes. Next year, latitude 40°8 ' north, and longitude 4°62 ' east, will be honored with Basil ' s presence aboard a British destroyer if his present intentions are carried out. DONALD KNIGHT ( Don ). May JO, 1924, Newton. Don l.ikes hockey games, bowling--and he says we know the other I Well, we aren ' t sure of the other, but some of us have pretty vivid imaginations. So perhaps you ' d better be more explicit. Don has been a lifelong member since grade one. He hates French and women drivers. He hopes some day to sail from New York to Hawaii on a one way ticket, but it won ' t be for quite a while because first he ' s going to Northeastern for a five-year course in engineering. GEORGE LYONS ( Busy ). March 2, 1923, Concord. George likes to waste time in Study Hall, as we have all observed. His pastime is sleeping and his chief interests are baseball and basketball. George came to our fair town in the fourth grade and has been one of our star athletes and classroom cut-ups all through high school. His pet peeve is to break a shoelace in the gym locker room--but he always comes up--smiling? George hopes to go to Prep School next year. Activities: Riding Down the Sky and The Count and the Co-ed , football, baseball, and basketball.
