Jay Arthur Schlaikjer Harvard or Yale October 5, 1929 Boston, Mass. The group of frightened first graders facing Miss Adams in 193 3 suddenly heard a singing voice and beheld Jay “with a song in his heart” and an ambition to sing at the Met. His pastimes are hunting, fishing, onc ' finger pounding on the piano, and of course, singing.

Joanne Black Ragan Fisher August 31, 1929 Boston, Mass. Joanne, who joined us in the fourth grade, has always been interested in acting, and after business school she hopes to do some work connected with the stage. Her favorite pastimes are reading and going to the theater, not to mention an extraordinary capacity for being late. We wish Joanne the best of luck in her stage career, but hope she won’t be late and miss her cue. Glee Club 4 years. Orchestra 1 year, “For Her Cheulds Sake” Miriam Edna Sargeant July 6, 1930 Radcliffe Springfield, Mass. “Mimi” joined us at Weston in the very beginning; namely, the first grade. Quiet and cooperative, she remained inconspic ' uous except for her good marks until our senior year, when she was elected co-editor of the Yearbook. Mimi’s two chief ambi ' tions are to learn to drive and to get to college, which she hopes will be Radcliffe. Her main hobby is playing the piano. She also enjoys skiing and roller skating. After she finishes college, Mimi hopes to become a teacher. Our schools need girls like Mimi with ability, imagination, and sincerity. Glee Club 3 yea rs.

Dorothy Louise Sheehan Undecided May 18, 1929 Newton Dot came to us in the third grade and since then has carried on the Sheehan tradition in Weston’s sports activities. She has been a swell cheerleader, a captain in hockey, and a star in bas¬ ketball! Her long brown curls and sparkling personality helped to make her an attraction as “Antoinette” in “The Fighting Littles” and a beauty twice in the Queen’s Court. Whispering is one of her diversions, but sports are her major held and some day wc are sure that we shall see Dottic skating in the Ice Follies. “The Fighting Littles”, Hockey 6 years. Basketball 4 years. Cheerleader 2 years. Operettas 4 years. Queen’s Court 2 years. Glee Club President. T homas Simpson February 14, 1929 New York City Tom joined us in our junior year and ever since then the class has been hearing about radio stations and jive jamborees. Tom has been very active in school and this year he is President of the Glee Club. His favorite occupation is working with radios and phonographs. He hopes to go to Europe after he finishes school. We wish him the best of luck in his radio work, and we think he will make a really topnotch announcer. Student Council 1 year. Chanticleer staff, “Fighting Littles”, Glee Club 1 year. Glee Club Cflicer 1 year. Operetta 1 year. Barbara Travis September 21, 1929 Endicott Brookline There has never been a dull moment since “Bibs” joined us in 1936 with her spontaneous laughter and happy manner. She is a marvel in anything she attempts: as “Screwball” in “ i ' he Fight¬ ing Littles” and as captain of the 1947 basketball tearr.. Her perfect imitation of a child’s talk shows her interest in children, as her artistic ability is shown in her position on the “Chanti¬ cleer” staff. When wc think of “Bibs” it will always be with a smile be¬ cause her joyous ways have made her a friend of everyone. “The Fighting Littles”, Basketball 3 years. Chanticleer staff. Operetta 2 years.
