SHIRLEY PHELPS ALLEN College Shirt “If 1 cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way” Band 1, 2; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4. Shirley is one of the smallest girls in the class. However, her size in person is no parallel to her size in personality and friendliness. Shirley’s name, beginning with “A”, has put her at the head of the class, and she really rates “A” amongst us. Her pleasing manner would put her on top if her name began with “Z.” We know you will be a grand success Shirley. Good luck. RAYMOND JOHN AUMAND Commercial Tubber “Learn all the rules, every one of them, so that you will know how to break them” Football 1, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4. All of us, at one time or another, have seen Ray speeding around in his blue Chevie. Many mornings it’s used as a taxi! He made out very well this year as a star on the football team and as an asset to the basketball team. Ray is a ladies’ man, one lady’s, we might add. He’s a swell sport and an all-around good guy. CLAIRE BEATRICE BALDASARO Commercial Claire “A face that cannot smile is never good” Special Glee Club 1; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Sophomore Party 2; Junior Party 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Play Nite 3; Senior Play 4; Monitor 3, 4; Class Treasurer 2, 3, 4; Home Room Representative 2; Girls’ State 3; Senior Sampler 4. Claire is that short, dark lass who takes all our money. As all the Seniors know, she is our class treasurer. She keeps things rolling at Cray Chevrolet, too. How she still finds time to play the accordian is a mystery to all of us. Claire represented us well at New Hampshire Girls’ State last year. Can you picture her as a Senator?!! Claire possesses many qualities which will make her a success in life. RAYMOND JOHN BLAKE Civic Johnnie ”1 cannot afford to waste my time by making money ” Freshman Basketball 1. Ray came to us from Kurn Hattin as a freshman. A very shy and bashful fellow, he has taken up very few activities in school, but did have an interest in basketball his freshman year when he made the squad. Expecting to go to college somewhere, Ray’s real ambition, confined at present to just a collection of ship models, is to become a naval construc- tion engineer. Not much of a girls’ man, he does join in the fun when the time calls for it. Best of luck, Ray. ALPHONSE WILLIAM BOUSQUET Civic M “Early to bed, early to rise, and you'll meet few of our best people” J. V. Football 1; Varsity Football 2, 3, 4; j. V. Basketball 2, 3; Base- ball 3: Football Formal 4. Here’s that good-natured fellow with a smile for everyone. Being late two out of five days a week, he still manages to have a cheerful smile, even for Mr. Osborn. The other three days are close, but he generally wins out. You can’t blame Al; it’s a long walk from 17 Westminster Street. We nearly lost him when Co. E left for Virginia, but he was fortunate enough to be deferred. In sports Al was a great help to Coach Hadley. As for his night life, it would take two or three pages, especially those trips to Claremont. Good luck in the future.

BARBARA ANN BULLOCK College Barb “She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Special Glee Club 4; Band 1. 2, 3, 4; Swing Band 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, All-State 2, 3, 4; Latin Club Vice-President 3, Program Chairman 4; 5. A. B. 4; Monitor 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Hi! Schooler 2, Lit. Ed. 3; Office Assistant 4; Home Room Secretary 3; Girls’ State 3. An outstanding member of the class, she joined us in 1948 and soon established a reputation for being friendly and dependable. This year she was chosen to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. Barb has been a faithful member of the band and orchestra, having attended every all-state festival in Burlington. Barb will make a swell kindergarten teacher. SYLVIA JUNE CHESLEY College Sylvia “Such joy ambition finds ’ Band 1. 2, 3. 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. All-State 1, 2, 3; Special Glee Club 1, 2. 3. 4; Basketball 2; Hi! Schooler 1. 2; Latin Club 2, 3; Spotlight Club 1, 2; Monitor 4; Junior Prom 3; All-State Chorus 4; All-N. Eng. Festival Chorus 4; Orchestra Award 3. Mix together gently one overflowing cup of kindness, many measures of willingness, and garnish with ability; the result — our blond-haired Sylvia. Sylvia has made an outstanding place for herself in band and glee club, to say nothing of walking off with the outstanding orchestra member award. She likes her nurses’ aid work at the hospital and is equally well-liked by patients. With her ready smile and pleasant person- ality, she’ll climb to the top in the nursing profession. JOHN HAROLD COFFEY College John “If a man keeps his mouth shut, the world will beat a path to his door.” J. V. Football 1, 2; Freshman Basketball 1; J. V. Basketball Manager 3; Manager Varsity Football and Basketball 4: Football Formal 4. John is a quiet type of fellow. However, we see him quite a bit with the various teams. He’s one of coach Hadley’s right-hand men. In fact, John is a very good friend of all the boys. We are sure that, if the girls knew him better, they, too, would find him a cheerful and a willing friend. May your life be one of success and accomplishments, John. LAURENCE PATRICK CONDON Commercial Footer “A good sport is somebody worth-while.” Basketball 1; Football 3; Sophomore Party 2; Junior Prom 3; Foot- ball Formal 4; Senior Hop 3; Senior Play 4; Curtis Drive 1; Boys’ State 3. Larry has always been a great help to our class when it comes to parties and formals. You can often find him hard at work at the First National Store. Footer, as the boys call him, will be found between the hours of eight and ten cruising around town in the family Buick. He says that he doesn’t care for the girls, but we know better. In his Junior year he did an excellent job playing varsity football. Footer will be a success in whatever he does. BRUCE HAROLD CORWIN College Corkey “ Without music — life would be a mistake.” Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1. 2, 3, 4, All-State 1. 2. 3. 4, All-New England 1, 3, 4; Swing Band 2, 3. 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi! Schooler 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4. Bruce is that happy-go-lucky fellow you always see blowing a trom- bone in the band. He has a deep bass voice, but. under Miss Bedell’s direction, is now singing high tenor. He has spent a lot of time taking many girls home in his new Plymouth, but is now concentrating on one. Keep music in your ear and love in your heart, and you will go far.
