CLASS OF 1943 This book would be incomplete without a thank you to Mr. Austin Hale for his many services and thought for those members of the class who are in the service, as well as the others. It would be im¬ possible to adequately tell what his regular letters to all the boys in the armed service in Weston mean to them, but in behalf of our class we want him to know that his efforts are deeply appreciated. 4

CLARENCE ACKERSON When joy and duty clash, let duty go to smash! Clancy” attended Weston in the first grade, then left, only to return to us again in the sixth, bringing new life to our little group. Breezing gaily through high school with us, he made a name for himself in all sports and a place for himself in everyone’s heart. Undaunted by all opponents, whether sportsmen or teachers, his ability to talk has never been equalled in our school. Clancy” joined the Marines in February, and we know that he will look snappy” in his uniform! Best of luck in whatever you undertake, Clancy.” FRANK AMON A good mind possesses a kingdom. The name Amon” is a magical synonym for brain-power, as we have come to realize in the course of our acquaintance with Frank Amon, not to men¬ tion his brother Dick. Frank first came here in 1930, but left during a later year, only to return again in 1942. The length and breadth of his informa¬ tion is a constant source of wonder to us less knowing individuals, and he seems a real man of affairs. A champion of reason and cold logic, Frank can hold his own in any argument without wavering a point. We are of the pri¬ vate opinion that he’d make a fine lawyer, but apparently his ambition is in¬ dustrial designing, in which he’s sure to be a success. Moreover, he will suc¬ ceed in whatever he undertakes as is evidenced by the fact that he likes meeting new people. This always insures potential success. His favorite pastime is listening to Artie Shaw playing Stardust,” while eating a steak dinner in the company of a good-looking girl. Nice going, Frank. We know the Univer¬ sity of Michigan will welcome you as a shaper of things to come. RICHARD AMON Earnest effort carries one far. The bright light” of the senior class, Dick has spent the last twelve years of his life gaining knowledge and enlightening the rest of us. With Richard, every other word is aviation, and that explains his ambition to own and fly a helicopter. Among his likes are Xavier Cugat, basketball and AVIATION! We’ve seen him in a riding outfit, we’ve seen him in a toga, but we’re still waiting to see him in a gremlin suit. (That’s his suppressed desire.) Activities: Priorities Play ’42, Glee Club ’40. EMILY BLAIR Blushing is the color of virtue.” During the year of 1926, on the peaceful 9th of October mid the cackles of the hens of Pencombe Farm, a blond package arrived in the person of Emily Blair. From the seventh grade on she has more or less attended school. Harry James’ Ciri Biri Bin and football in the Harvard Stadium all have their places in her social life. In school she is unnoticeable but outside she is quite the opposite. Take heed tall, dark and handsome, Emmie doesn’t like people who don’t listen to her when she is talking. Gad! E,” quite an ambition to fly out to Lake Louise—there should be quite a crowd of ’43 alumni out there! Now we leave Emmie listening to Lux Radio Theatre and knitting for that pro¬ moted sophomore. Activities: Basketball ’39, Class Treasurer ’39. THERESE BROWNELL ' Vigor, vitality, vim and punch!” Terry” Brownell is an unpredictable lass who was born, to the joy of her dear chums, on March 30, 1926. The greatest moment in her life was Febru¬ ary 5, 1942, the date she descended on us. Since then those of the inner circle have learned, only too well, that she passionately adores Bob Hope. A similar love for Chinese cookery was revealed during a jaunt to Boston. Terry’s” ambition surprisingly coincides with her future plans. She intends to be a physical education instructor! Anyone contacting her in basketball or other- wise wonders what she will do to the poor innocents under her supervision. What will a young lady whose favorite saying is Go jump in a lake” and favorite tune Der Fuhrer’s Face” be capable of? However, we can hang onto one ray of hope. She tells us that her suppressed desire remains suppressed at the present time. Activities: Prom ’42, Basketball ’43. 6
