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.

EDMUND PEAKES ( Ed ). October 24, 1923 Weston. Feminine operators of motor vehicles seem to be Ed’s dislike and he claims he’s already been hit by one. His suppressed desire is to own a Packard convert¬ ible and buzz around in it. Look out for those women I Ed ' s favorite expression is Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? . So that ' s how one achieves the honor of being salutatorian. His chief interests include: hunting, sailboat racing, swimming and canoeing. Ed entered our little number in the first grade. For further information, he suggests you consult Jimmie. What could he mean? A Nautical Engineering Course at MIT is his plan for next year. FRED PETERSON ( Little Pete ). April 18, 1923, Waltham. He likes to sleep Saturday and Sunday mornings. Pastime is looking for something to do. Pete came to us in the fourth grade from Waltham and he vows he met trouble when he met George Lyons. Pete is sort of the Clark Gable of the Senior Class. (i wonder if Gable blushes too.) He has been one of our football heroes for three years and also has warbled in the Glee Club for three years. Baseball team, one year. His destination next year is to get a job where the money is good. Hope you make it, Pete ’ RICHARD PINKHAM ( Dick ). June 26, 1923, Cambridge. Giggling girls are Dick ' s pet hate. Notice the expression on his face when they ' re around. At almost any time of day or night, Dick may be found driving his Ford or tinkering with it. In his spare time he likes to ski and brush up on his hobby, photography. This year Dick handled the business end of the play, taking care of the ads. He hasn ' t decided what he will do after high school, but keep up the good work anyway, Dick. ELEANOR RINEHART ( Freckles ). August 19, 1924, Greensburg, Pennsylvania I I ' m hungry is her favorite expression. Ever heard that before? She likes operas, camellias, and steaks and onions. Her peeves are History tests and lack of time to do all her desired things. Freckles ' suppressed desire is to get 100 in Physics and be called glamorous with her freckles. Some of our personality gal’s chief interests are (need we tell you): music, drama, languages, bowling and canoeing. Next year Eleanor is going to major in languages at B.U. We will all expect an invitation to dine with you and your gay senor at some villa in the near future.
