WALTER MANKOWSKI Happy-go-lucky was smiling Wally, No blue near him roamed, for he was so jolly. MARY MARCIN Resigned to life was Mary Marcin, All we could think to rhyme here was parson. FLORENCE MAURER Her height was an asset to add to her fame, For in all the sports, she had quite a name, NORMA McKELVEY Her manner was quiet, her smile serene, Her features were tiny, with us she was Supreme. IOHN McMAHON l just mention fish to this young man and you have got him hooked, For when the fishing season comes, it's no use, girls, . he's booked. MARGARET MCSWEENEY Mac was the nickname known to us, A good-natured girl without any fuss.

'Jingle Belles and Beaux HERBERT MEYER This fellow was known as Herbie to all, And the opposite sex, he did simply enthrall. jOAN NIEYER She ran about even with Dot Wahl in humor, Her hair styles were numerous and Oh! what a crooner. PHILIP MILLER He'll get somewhere with those dancing feet, For his peabody and jitterbug were really neat. MARY MINGLE This blonde was attractive with eyes of blue, Better be careful, she might attract you! IACQUELINE MOTT In the Senior Play, she vamped and pouted, With her long blonde tresses, all hearts she routed! RICHARD MULLER Mountain in football was known to all, Too bad for the guy upon whom he might fall. jUNE NEBEL They kidded her about her height, She maddened at this it's true, She had many friends and heart-throbs, But her enemies were few. FRANKLIN NEWCOMB School work with this young man was never undone. Although he would prefer the woods and a gun. GLORIA NEWHOOK She brought happy moods by her dazzling carriage, Her ambition in life iquote the yearbook! is marriage! ETHEL O'BRIEN In class she giggled and tried to write verse, In future years she might be a nurse. ROBERT ORTH He was voted the flirt but was misunderstood, He was just being friendly as cheerleaders would. LEON OVERMAN Now while in school, Lee was a fidget, And was known for being such a midget. SUSAN PAGE Glee Club and sports took most of her time, And her skating technique was really sublime. PAUL PARASKEVAS His deeds made him president of the N,H.S. For his school work merited this, we'll confess. GERALDINE PATTEN They called her Red, and she got mad as hops, In dancing and basketball, our Pat was tops.

STEWART ROBERTSON lf you fail to recognize his face, why then try to employ This simple plan, look at his hand, for he's the brief- case boy. VIRGINIA RODGERS On a trumpet she plays both loud and long And Ginny herself is sweet as a song. IOHN ROLOFF Many things could be said here to make these two lines rhyme, But we'Il just say, 'He's one swell guy' and save a lot FRANCES ROSEBAULT Now Frannie's Commercial is just the tops, She makes studious strides in leaps and hops. of time. 0 .47
