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

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

SHIRLEY ANNE CUNNINGHAM “Shirl” is another member of the Forty-niners who started here in kindergarten and stayed with us all the way through. Her excellence in shorthand and typing has led her to plan to major in Secretarial Business at Hickok next year, after which she will ' make it her career. We remember Shirl for being head typist for the school magazine in the senior year; for her perform¬ ance in the “Pirates of Penzance” in the freshman year; for excellent playing as a guard on the first team in basketball during her junior and senior years, and being captain in her senior year; for her lively cheerleading in her junior year; for being our D. A. R. representative in 1949; and finally, for being a very pretty addition to the Queen’s Court at our junior prom. ROLAND INNES DICKSON Roland and his quiet ways became part of our class in the first grade. He was so quiet that nobody realized what interests and talents he had until late in high school. He is not sure which college he is to enter, but he hopes it will be Harvard, Northeastern, or B. U. He plans to major in geology or architecture, and make this his career. We remember him for all the time and work he put in as Photographic Editor of the yearbook; for the excellent job he did as property manager in “Rio Rico”, and stage manager in “.Stardust”, and “George Washington Slept Here.” He has been an active mem¬ ber of the Discussion Club in both his junior and senior years. Roland’s quiet ways and earnest desire to study will make him successful in college. page eighteen
