Schooler 1, 2, 3. 4: Play Nite .4; Senior Play 4; Home Room Treasurer 1; American Scholastic Art Awards Contest 4. Charlie is that good-natured boy who has done more than his share of work in decorating for the formals. There is a lot of talent in those hands! He seems shy, mysterious, and bashful, but, when you get to know him, he’s quite the opposite. Sometime in the future you’ll see Charlie’s name in headlines as a successful and established artist. JAMES THOMAS HARTY, Jr. College Jimmy “ will succeed though the way be hard. J V. Football 1; Special Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus 1; N. E.

If you don’t believe Jimmy is one of the class leaders, ask him, and ask him where he comes from. He is proud of the fact that he comes from that industrial city across the river, North Walpole. Class President, part- time job, and Special Glee Club keep him busy. He is a fun-seeking guy, who doesn't mind spending four or five hours finding it. Pleasing personal- ity and nice appearance assure him of success. GERTRUDE ANN HAWKS Civic Ann “ Your greatest contribution to the sum total of things is uourself.” Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4; Tennis 1. 2. 3, 4; Softball 1, 2. 3. 4; Home Ec.

That wasn’t “Superman”; it was Ann with a last minute warning for the closing report. Those who don’t know her may think she is quiet,—but —when you know her! Like all the crew from Center Street, she is an excellent athlete, and has given the teams a big boost. Her spare time is spent on her hobbies, but what hobbies!! Congratulations on the work in 4-H. The teaching profession will be proud of you. RALPH ALWYN HODGKINS General Ralph It seems to make an auto driver mad if he misses you. Glee Club 1. If you see a ’34 Ford with a gang of kids in it, the safest thing for you to do is head for the ditch; it may be Ralph. On the whole he is a pretty good driver, but it’s just that he’s in what seems like a terrible hurry. Although he’s not seen much in company of the fairer sex, we wonder about some of his out-of-town trips. What’s the story, Ralph? You’ve really added a lot to our classes these past four years and we hope the future holds nothing but success and happiness for you. JAMES GERALD HOGAN College Jerry All the devils aren't in hell; some are here. J. V. Football 2; Sophomore Party 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Homeroom Vice President 3; Monitor 4. . The boy who carries the most weight in the Senior Class,—physical weight. With his wit and personality, classes were never dead. No, he isn’t just our class comedian; he-has a lot of intelligence, too. With all the time he spends at the B. F. Times Office, don’t be surprised to see editorials by him in the near future. A good monitor, no one dared cross his path. How will Miss Brown get along without Jerry’s witty remarks? He has all the qualities of success.

Vivacious Nancy has added life and gayety to our class with her ability to find humor in even the dullest situation. As a student and as a friend she has proved herself tops.

Award 3. Meet Wilma, one of the tallest, most attractive Senior girls, who al- ways has something to do. She is a very smart girl, but a very quiet one. She is now employed by the New England Tel.

BETTY JANE GROUT College Betty Silence is the unbearable repartee Cafeteria 1, 4. Betty’s the girl with brains, looks and charm. Although she’s small and quiet, her blonde hair and blue eyes manage to make people give her that second look. How she ever can keep the fellows at bay is beyond us. We don’t see much of her; perhaps it’s because she travels ten miles every- day just to come to school. Athens won’t be the same next year when Betty goes to Burlington to find that young, good-looking millionaire. Good luck to you. Richie J. V. Basketball 1, 2; Varsity Basketball 3, 4; J. V.
