THOMAS A. TILTON Be wisely worldly—be not worldly tvise.” Taj,” one of the charter members of the class of ’45, has always been friendly and good natured. Since his pet peeve is people who talk too much, it is necessary to add that he also is very quiet. During the 1944 football season, he proved himself to be the team’s outstanding lineman. Since Taj’s main in- terests outside of football are eating, fishing, and sailing, and his ambition is to build small boats, he’s sure to be a big success in the Navy. Very best of luck, Taj, the class of ’45 knows you can’t help but hit the top. Activities: Football 4 years; Priorities”; Operetta 3 years. KENNETH B. TURNER Hang sorrow! Care ' ll kill a cat. Around 1937, Deacon,” with all his fancies, humorous cartoons and fun, left Newton and joined the class of ’45. We don’t think that he has forgotten Newton — or even Wellesley, Quincy, and, of course, Weston. How are those Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights? His favorite enjoyment is hunting two- legged dears. Well, well! He hates people who eat hard candy over the telephone, but does that matter? Come fall, one can see a decrease of wild life around the Turner establishment. It must be a noisy section! His am¬ bition is to have lots and lots of money and a new car every year. Where’s the old one gone? This year one could see him prancing about on the athletic field to the joy and amusement of all. He plans to be in the service soon. Good luck, Deac.” ELEANOR WALLS She was ever fair and never proud — had tongue at will, but never loud.” While no one was looking last September, Eleanor slipped into our midst and we didn’t even know that Ellie” with the pretty brown eyes was there; she’s that quiet. She hails from Medford, where she was born in 1927. Though she is inconspicuous on most occasions, just listen and learn in English 4-A when Ellie gets up to public speak”! What golden words of wisdom! You’ll please her no end if you take her to the movies, dancing, or give her lemon and limes; but woe betide the poor unfortunate who has a good word for algebra problems! Eleanor’s life was full when she was vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of her class in different years back in her home town. After she finishes college, she will leave future pians to fate. ALDEN WHITTEMORE Your heart ' s desires be with you.” Chick,” or Audie,” whichever you prefer, started with our distinguished (?) class in the first grade, and will finish with us this year. Anyone who knows him realizes that his favorite enjoyments are driving a truck, which he does for Mr. Ogilvie, going to movies, dancing, wrestling, and traveling, since these are the things he can be seen doing most often. He also mentioned his enjoyment of Sunday afternoons. Is that when you try out biscuit recipes and walk the dog, Audie? His suppressed desire for traveling (in two’s) all over the world fits right in with his ambition to retire at thirty-five with a wife and three children. It is also apparent that he dislikes homework and reading Shakespeare. Chick” is the cheerful member of our class, and we all wish him every success in the Navy. Activities: Glee Club 3 years; Track Team, ’41, ’42. NANCY WOODMAN A sweet attractive kind of grace; a full assurance given by looks.” Nancy, arriving from New Hampshire in 1942, joined us in our sophomore year. She surprised us by being a combination of good student and athlete, as well as the center of attraction for many of the Senior boys. Her personality and versatility make her a great addition to our class. Nancy hopes some day to learn to ride a horse, but until then her favorites include sports, big helpings of chop suey, hay-rides, and watching Pop” in chemistry class. She dislikes being called Legs” and dropping books only to watch all the papers fly away. Nancy leaves us in June, bound for Radcliffe, with broad ambitions of medicine and travel. We all send our best wishes with this illustrious member of the class of ’45. Activities: Class Treasurer, ’43, ’45; Student Council, ’44; Hockey 3 years, (Captain, ’44); Basketball 3 years; Glee Club 3 years; Junior Prom Committee; Year Book Staff; Cheerleader; Discussion Club. 12

CAROLYN ADELE ROBINSON To beguile many, and be beguiled by one.” Candy” first saw the light of day on September 24, 1927, in Gloucester, but joined our happy class in 1940. She likes to dance, play basketball, swim, read, and ride her bicycle, which she does often with her mother, with her cocker spaniel Honey” in the basket. Her ambition and suppressed desire tend quite a bit towards traveling, particularly in South America. She tells us that she also would like to model. If you want to peeve Candy,” just present her with a mixture of homework, eggs, and bugs. (Quite a mixture, it seems to us.) In fact, just one of them will do! It is generally noted that she gets quite a bang out of nature’s little feathered creations, too, mostly the Chickadee.” Right, Candy? Activities: Priorities”; Glee Club; Patience.” JEANNE ROGERS Footloose and fancy free. A shriek that so unded much like Don’t call me Sweater Girl!” emanating from the Waltham Hospital, heralded the momentous arrival of our Jeanne, alias Rog,” into this world in June, 1927. After spending fifteen years in Newton, she couldn’t resist the lure of Ye Olde Weston High, and we welcomed her with open arms in ’42. She has lots of favorite enjoyments, has this lass with the ready smile. Some of them are swimming, bowling, and movies. We all know that Rog” harbors a passionate hatred of any kind of bugs, especially caterpillars. Jeanne aspires to a career as an airdine hostess; that is, after fin¬ ishing school, and say, did we tell you? She plans to take a small jaunt around the world. When we asked about her suppressed desire, she told us to live in California.” That shouldn’t be too hard for an old hand at globe-trotting. Best wishes from the class, Jeannie. Activities: Glee Club 2 years. ELIZABETH M. TEBEAU The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed.” Betty, the future Florence Nightingale of our merry class, joined us in 1939—the class of ’45 has never been quite the same since. Our happy-go- lucky dreamer, yet wide-awake athlete and incessant talker, Bet” is a bewilder¬ ing mixture of talent and vagueness—(ask Miss Green about that algebra!) Her favorite enjoyments are many and varied, among which are sports, eating sand¬ wiches with everything but the kitchen sink in them, writing notes that prove very interesting, and talking on the phone from 9 to 10 night after night. (Need we ask to whom?) Bossy people, apples with worms, and back-slappers irritate her no end, and are, consequently, her pet peeves. Her ambition, for which she is very well suited, is to be a full-fledged Navy Nurse—we all know she’ll go far in this field. Activities: Hockey 2 years; Basketball 2 years; Football Dance Committee. CHRISTINE TEBO Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Born on Columbus Day, 1927, Chris” joined us in Miss Adams’ class in ’33 and has stayed with us ever since. A smooth dancer and the class actress, she has impressed us with her varied abilities. Her idea of an enjoyable eve¬ ning includes eating a steak dinner, dancing, and then listening to Frankie You know who,” while writing to the Navy. Chris’ ” pet peeves are people who dis¬ like crooners, men drivers, and carrots. After seeing her fine work in our operettas we are sure that some day, her suppressed desire—to sing at the Stork Club—may come true. Her ambition is to own a bright red convertible-— watch out, men drivers!—and to get an A” from Pop.” Best of luck, Chris,” when you enter Katharine Gibbs’ Secretarial School. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Priorities”; Operetta 3 years; Cheerleading; Hockey 4 years; Junior Prom Committee; Co-Editor of the Year Book; Operetta Committee, ’44. JEAN WALLACE TIFFANY A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.” Our own Jeannie with the light brown hair” joined the class in the sixth grade and was tagged with numerous and sundry nicknames ranging from Jeanie,” Tiff,” and Tiffy,” to Fanny.” She was born at Ann Arbor, Michi¬ gan, on Columbus Day, 1927. Her favorite enjoyments include horses, skiing, ballet, Tommy Dorsey records, particularly The Song is You,” and HORSES! (which, we put in right here, goes beyond an enjoyment and becomes almost an obsession). She is averse to the study of L’Allegro” and ”11 Penseroso,” (but then, who isn’t?), not to mention Waltham’s speed traps. Who hasn’t heard of Jean’s great rendezvous with the man in the blue coat and brass buttons? She hop es to go to college after graduation, and we wish her the very best of luck. Activities: Basketball 4 years; Glee Club 3 years; Priorities”; Patience”; Discussion Club. 11
