During his spare time, Chester likes to roller skate or ride on the back roads of Sunderland. As an immediate future he is considering the Marines. Later, however, Chet hopes to be a rancher. EDWARD PERRON In school Edward has been a member of the Camera Club. Because Ed is mechanically inclined, his hobby deals with motors of all sorts.

BERTHA AND KATHERINE RAK Until the students had become well acquainted, many of Bertha's and Katherine's 'classmates were complaining of double vision. To increase the confusion, these two girls always dress alike. Both girls have been making their own clothes for six years. Their interest in home economics makes them active members of the 4-H club. Many students re- member the delicious sandwiches and salads made by the twins at the cafeteria. When not busy with home economics, Bertha and Katherine can often be seen bicycle-riding in South Amherst or rolling spares at Paigeis Bowling Alley. To make use of their training and experience, the girls are planning to become dressmakers. Their motto, Double or Nothing . Twenty-Eight T H E G 0 L D B U G

WILLIAM NAVASINSKI Another one of those Sunderland boys is Bill Navasinski, better known as Navaho',. Bus schedules have prevented this fellow from being active in extra-curricular activities, but he is said to be quite a Romeo in the Sunderland social world. Bill also has the distinction of being one of the two or three blondes in our class. YOLANDA NEWPORT Yolanda is one girl who can be depended upon to go out for all girls' sports. Basketball, soccer, softball, and volley- ball have occupied her time. In oral reports no one can stray from the subject like Yolanda. Because she excels in drawing and painting, art is one of her favorite subjects. Her out- standing trait is her pleasant and jovial disposition. BENJAMIN PAGE With a joke on the tip of his tongue and a smile on his face Benjamin Harlan Page, Jr., trips through the halls. A firm disbeliever in all things serious, he manages to convert his friends to his ideas. Without this pint-sized edition of mas- culinity, Amherst High would certainly be missing a definite atmosphere . EARL PEASE During his high school career, Buster has been a sports' enthusiast. He has played football for two years, and has twice been on the track team. To round out four sporting years, he has been the efficient manager of the basketball team. Buster is happiest beating a drum at square dances. He hopes to become an aviation mechanic. Bus is one good sport. C L A S S 1 9 4 3 Twenty-Seven

Here Millie', hopes to be an ambulance driver. MURIEL RICHARDSON just because Muriel has her nose constantly in the air is no sign that she is snooty . Because the great outdoors so fascinates her, she is usually found with her head in the clouds. But once in school, she comes to earth, particularly in shorthand class. MARY ANN RITCHIE Mary Ann is one of the most versatile members of her class. Although an excellent student, her interests extend far be- yond the scholastic.
