GEORGE BROUILLETTE “Frenchy” has stayed with us all the way from kinder¬ garten to graduation day and will leave V. H. S. to at¬ tend King’s Point Academy, hoping to come out a deck officer — and from then on it will be a dangerous thing to call George anything but “Commander Brouillette, Sir . Frenchy will be remembered for unfailing pleasantness and an even temper, even in the face of ir¬ ritated teachers and others; for his able class secretary¬ ship in the freshman year and an equally meticulous con¬ trol of the sophomore funds; for demonstrating speed on the football held since 1944, varsity from 1946-1948; for basketball in the freshman year; for an able reporting of all the boys’ sports as Boys’ Sports Editor of the school magazine in his junior year; for improving the Glee Club for the last four years; and for livening up the Discussion Club in 1947 and 1948. It will be King Point’s luck to gain a many-sided seaman. ROBERT BRUCE CAMPBELL Bruce’s pleasantly argumentative jaw has thrust its way through our history ever since the hrst grade. He says that Mr. MacFarlin hrst recognized his talent for talking, and spoke very highly of it, keeping Bruce after school on numerous occasions to explain precisely what he thought of Mr. Campbell’s silver tongue. Bruce has since demonstrated, however, that quickwittedness and a hair for speaking bring honor and rewards. He has been elected to the Student Council for the past four years and was president of that body in his junior year; was chosen as alternate representative on Good Govern¬ ment Day; and represented Weston on the Junior Town Meeting of the Air broadcast in 1949. Further, Bruce will be remembered for an excellent portrayal of Phil Ford in “Stardust” in 1947, and Newton P ' uller, the leading role in “George Washington Slept Here” in 1948. His two years of Glee Club and Discussion Club have not hurt his reputation for oratory. Bruce hopes to enter Boston University next fall to prepare for a career in teaching — Speech Arts, of course! page sixteen

After graduation, he plans to go to King’s Point Academy with his friend, George Brouillette, to study for a career as a deck officer or a naval engineer. Arthur will be remembered for his magnificent work on the football field since 1945, and especially in 1948-1949, when he played varsity; for his Student Council position in 1946; for his melodious voice in the Glee Club in 1946-1947; for his contribu¬ tions to the Discussion Club in 1947-1948; for his Latin honors in 1946; for his basketball playing in 1947-1948; and especially for captaincy of the second team in 1948. He will do well wherever he goes, and we wish him luck. EDITH ANN BLANEY Edith has been with the ’49ers all the w ' ay from kin¬ dergarten. Her college plans look to W ells or Connecticut College for Women, and she hopes to go into landscape architecture after college.

ALTA HELEN CHAMBERLIN Alta is a long term resident in the class of ' 49, having been with us since her entrance into kindergarten in 1936. She hopes to go to the Academy Moderne, in preparation for a career in modeling. We shall re¬ member Alta for her participation in Glee Club in 1945 and 1946; for her position on the basketball team in her sophomore year; and especially for being the captain of the second team in her senior year; for her work on activities in this yearbook; for her work in the chorus of “The Pirates of Penzance;” and finally for being chosen Prom Queen at our Junior Prom in 1948. BARBARA ANN COOK W ' e regret that we did not have more time to become acquainted with Barbara. However, since she joined our class only in March of the senior year, this was impossible. She came from Newton High, and she particii)ated in the Glee Club, there, in her freshman year. She was treasurer and secretary of the Aviation Club in her senior year at Newton, and was a member of the Cahary Club that same year. In her junior year she was a member of the Drama Club. Barbara plans to major in Pediatrics at Nashua Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, after which she will seek a career either as a nurse or an airline hostess. page set ' enteen
