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

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

HELEN FOOTE Here is a girl with agricultural ambitions. Helen, who comes to Amherst High from Pelham, is an active member of the 4-H Club. When not busy with her studies, she spends her time with her live stock, a baby-beef and a pig. Cheerful and interested in all school projects, Helen is a real sport. BRADLEE GAGE Brad has stuck his finger in every pie . Aside from being a rather well-known authority on Hshing, he has taken part in the Inter-class Plays, entered and won an oratorical con- test, played football, and eagerly served the Student Council. Certainly the class could not have done without him. He is now Private Gage, United States Army-Hats off! EDWARD GAY This limber, light-footedn lad has been, and is going places fast. What a collection of track letters he has! Aside from his amazing speed in track events, he has a very different pastime, collecting phonograph records of all the latest and finest music, recorded by the best bands. If he doesn't run himself ragged, the future may find him booking orchestras. CONRAD GETCHELL Connie has served the orchestra faithfully four years. The time and energy put into rehearsals certainly show in his playing. For all we know, he may develop into another Fritz Kreisler. Other school activities, notably Hi-Y, have received his fullest cooperation. His friendly spirit and dependability are the outstanding qualities of a good student and a well- liked fellow. 6 Eighteen T HIE oo L D B U G
