GORDON HOWARD Gordon is a quiet young man. He is very much interested in photography and may some day become an expert in that field.

After graduation Gordon hopes to enter the Army Air Corps. JOSEPHINE JAKIMKO i Her classmates are running Josie as a capable candidate for the Women's Marine Corps. From swinging a mean,' baseball bat to pounding the keys of a typewriter she is efficiency plus. Besides athletic events she enters the merrier things of life-dramatics and dancing. Her wide interests help to make her a IOOW American girl. HENRY JANTZ For his athletic ability, Henry is admired by the supporters of the football, basketball and baseball teams. Especially active in football, in his senior year Henry has been a member of the All Western Massachusetts Gridiron Honor Roll., He also is a Pro Merito member. This fact proves that Henry has excelled both in his studies and in athletics. DOROTHY JOYNER Modest and unobtrusive, Dottie seldom gives a hint of her real interest. Outside of school she chases through the meadows of her native Cummington hunting specimens for her bug', collection. This hobby of collecting butterflies and insects may be the forerunner of a career as an entomologist. Sketch- ing also appeals to Dottie, Teachers will remember her as a quiet, conscientious student. C L A S S 1 9 4 3 Twenty-One

IRFNE KAVANAUGH lrene's modesty makes a detailed account of her scholastic attainments impossible. It's sufficient to ,say that she is salutatorian of her class. The Graphic has counted Irene as a faithful contributor. One of her outstanding services to her class has been that of Gold Bug editor. Few can ap- preciate the difiicult and often discouraging task she has accomplished so well. AGNES KAZIMERAITIS Agnes has been a member of'the Graphic staff for the last two years. Since she is an excellent typist, her assistance has been invaluable in speeding the Graphic to press. Although Agnes has taken a business course in high school, after gradua- tion she would like to attain her life-long ambition by be- coming a hairdresser and beautician. MARGARET KENNEDY As her hobbies, skiing and swimming, indicate, Peggy is interested in athletics. During her high school career, she has been a member of the Outing Club. Peggy has belonged also to the Dramatics Club. The subject which fascinated her most, however, is interior decorating. She hopes to continue her study of things artistic at Vesper George Art School in Boston. DAVID LAUDER The school bulletin board has often borne witness to Scot- tie's artistic skill for he has made the posters for dances and basketball games. He is a member of the basketball team and of the Sea Group of the Victory Corps. Scottie is a fine prospect for the Navy and will carry the good wishes of all his classmates with him.
