THOMAS CANAVAN Tom possesses the rare ability of being able to sell an adver- tisement in the Graphic,, or Gold Bugi' to a hard-boiled store owner. Certainly the Graphic would never have reached its present heights without Tom's efforts to keep the money pouring in. Those magnificent royal ragesn in his impersonation of the Emperor of China also have added to his reputation. FRANCIS CHESTNUT Another member of our class in the Navy, Francis left school in the fall of our senior year to enter the service with his father. While in school, Francis was a sports enthusiast. Because of the distance of his home inisunderland, he was unable to play on the regular teams. An easy-going individual, Francis could seldom be seen carrying books from school. VERONICA CYSZ Veronica's outside activities are largely determined by the weather. During the winter her favorite hobby is ice-skating. Collecting stuffed animals is her pastime in the other seasons. While in high school Veronica has become much interested in secretarial Work. This interest should be important in de- termining her future, since Veronica hopes to qualify for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. JOHN DANAHEY John is a happy-go-lucky chap who not infrequently-has found himself under the stern gaze of Mr. Haskins or Mr. Perry. Although he has shown no yen for studying, he has made up for this deficiency by being very active in intra- mural basketball. John possesses, as his friends all know, a pleasant and friendly disposition. Sixteen THE GOLD BUG

I FRANCENA BURROWS Francena is another girl from Pelham. During her four years in high school she has been a member of the Dramatics, Country Dance, and Tri-S clubs. Like her clubs, Francena's hobbies are varied. The most important one is letter writing. The collecting of popular victrola records, -and dancing tie for second place. Concerning ,her future, Francena says, Mrs. Robert Bradley, wife. GEORGE BUXTON Ceorge's two chief interests are music and aviation. Through- out his school years the band and orchestra have claimed his attention. He is not only an accomplished trumpeter, but a drummer as well. A plane swooping over Amherst may very possibly contain George, whose passionate interest in flying has made him a likely candidate for the Air Corps. ROBERT CADY Bob Cady has become famous for his ability to carry a foot- ball through a powerful line. Those who have seen him play know what is meant by power and broken field running. He is perhaps better known to the faculty for his frequent and disguised trips uptown at lunchtime. Bob is a good friend of all who know him. ROLAND CAMPBELL Soupy is famous for his definite flair in producing non- existent book reports and his ability to top all of Mr. SWift's fish stories. Complex aeronautical terms such as rho over two have not phased him in the least. Soupy , although a loyal resident of Pelham, fits perfectly into the life of Am- herst High. CLASS 194-3 Fifteen

ELEANOR DICKINSON That flash whizzing past in such confusion is Dickie . Perhaps she is attempting a difficult shot in basketball, or just stealing a base in a girls' softball game. Whatever the sport, whoever the opponent, .Dickie is happy--win, lose, or draw. The commercial course' she follows rates second to the fun she enjoys with her friends. BLANCHE DOLEVA A good recipe for Blanche's way of living would be to add lots of plain fun to a dash of seriousness. She is a jolly girl with a great capacity for jokes and a laugh that is con- tagious. Surrounded by her many friends, Blanche enjoys to the fullest everything she does, even school work. p CORRINE FISHER A new arrival this year, Corrine has found her niche with- out much trouble. More than willing to do her share on any occasion, this ex-Vermont miss has gained the respect and admiration of her classmates. In addition to her school duties she has been an important member of the Perry household. Our one complaint is that Corrine has not been with us long enough. ALFREIDA FLINT A carefree, pleasant disposition is Alfreida's key to our hearts. During her school career she has participated in all girls' sports. Commercial courses have received her special attention. During her senior year Alfreida has been quite busy both as office assistant and as secretary to Miss Weeks' Graphics for Servicemen enterprise. Always considerate and cheerful Alfreida is regarded as a good scout. CLASS 1943 Seventeen
