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.

During the last three years she has ably demonstrated the athletic skill of the van Heest family by acJve appearances on the basketball court, but art is really her first love. Those who have seen examples of her work certainly must agree that with such a marked talent she is bound to succeed in her ambition to be a fashion artist. Basketball 3 years. Operetta 1 year. Kelton Blair Wagner, Jr. f ' ebruary 3, 1928 American Banking Institute W ' altham, Mass.

He likes to listen to rec¬ ords as a hobby, and his interesting ambition is to become a banker. This ambition will no doubt be realized, since Kelton seemed undaunted by the big Weston Bank holdup which he wit¬ nessed this year. Stage hand, plays and operettas.
