David Upham May 29, 1928 Hyde Park “Dave”, with his ability to sing and act, has always been an asset to the school. His favorite pastime is collecting and put¬ ting together picture puzzles.

Detsy Ann Van Heest December 1 1, 1927 Museum of Fine Aits Isorth Weymouth Friendly, pleasant Betsy, with her amazing combination ot athletic and artistic ability, has been a popular classmate ever since her arrival at Weston in the fourth grade. 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.

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.

Charles Willard Walls April 10, 1929 Dartmouth West Medford “Charlie” has been reasonably steady in all his interests at Weston, but, because his ambition is to lead a happy ' goducky life, we suspect that there is something of the vagabond in him. His favorite pastime is playing the drums, but he shows unmis ' takable pleasure at being asked to supervise the modern problems class in Mr. Cummings’ absence. (Or does he?) Charlie wants to be a lawyer and have “lots of money”. Operetta 2 years. Class Officer 1 year. Susan Wiley January 19, 1930 Massachusetts State Cambridge “Susie”, one of the Lincolnites who joined our ranks in the freshman year, has proved to be a valuable classmate with her work on the magazine staff, and her contributions to the High School Poetry An.hology. In spite of her literary bent, Susan has some widely divergent hobbies, among them playing the flute and collecting insects. This latter she intends to make her career, as her ambition is to be an anthropologist. Orchestra 1 year. Discussion Club, Chanticleer staff. Publicity manager, “The Fighting Littles”. Virginia Dorr Williams May 1, 1929 Mount Holyoke Cambridge, Mass. “Bunny”, one of the artistic members of our class, can always be recognized in class as the girl behind the knitting needles. Her hobbies are drawing and reading, and, though art is her forte, she is also an excellent writer. With these talents Bunny cannot help but fulfill her ambition, which is simply to get to college next year. Hockey 2 years. Basketball 2 years. Yearbook staff, Class Officer 2 years.
