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.

MALCOLM MACDONALD ( Mac ). May 21, 1923 Waltham. We can well see why Mac says his pet like is sports when we discover that he is a nine letter man and co-captain in football in ' 40 . He has been an inmate of the Weston Schools for life and tells us that he enjoys mechanics a lot, as well as sleeping and eat¬ ing. Mac definitely does not like the Irish, so we conclude that he is a true Scotsman. Next year he plans to work, and would like to get a job with the Edison Company. Best of luck, Mac. ANGELA RITA MELE ( Angie ). May 22, 1924, Weston. Angie declares t hat her hair is her pet peeve, though the other girls in the class are inclined to regard it as a pet desire. She has been one mighty busy little commercial student, always ready and obliging when any¬ one needed something typed in a hurry. She is going to continue being busy in this line next year at Bryant and Stratton, and we say they are getting a bargain. Maybe it ' s her interest in and love for flowers that makes her such a completely sympathetic friend. (We ' ve heard that flowers do have some such power.) Will Angie get ahead? To use her own pet expression, Oh, sure. GEORGE OLSON ( Oscar ). September 18, 1924, Cambridge. Likes hockey, baseball, football and Cab Calloway ' s orchestra; and his chief interests are ping-pong, watching Frankie Brimsek and jazz bands. Oscar left our fair land in 1932 and sailed the sea to Sweden where he met the King and Queen. He hopes to join the army, and that may be his destination next year. Perhaps Tommy and Oscar will be in the same regiment and can entertain the boys with their version of MacNamara ' s Band . We ' ve all heard it! Activities: Glee Club. SALLY PALMER ( Sal ). January 11, 1923, Wayland. Likes cokes, tennis, and baseball games. Hates to get up in the morning, and a favorite pastime is sleeping. Wants to be an aviatress. Sal is defin¬ itely our best all round sport, and although she is very quiet, she has been a swell pal and comrade to us all. Her heart, so we understand, is in New York. Could that be why she spends Monday mornings sleeping and dreaming about the perfect week-end. Activities include Play Prompter, and hockey, tennis, and basketball.
