• ' . ALICE COLE Plympton Women ' s Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Accompanist for Men ' s Glee Club 3, 4. Alice ' s spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but never last long. A keen interest in other people makes her sympathetic with their troubles. Her voice has been used to swell the ranks of the Glee Club while her musical interests are extended to include accompany- ing the Men ' s Glee Club for two years. GERALD CONNOR Watertown Alpha 3, 4; Assistant Photographer 3; Photographer 4; Men ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. Easy-going, but sure of what he wants, Jerry has gone about getting it in the shortest way possible. With little apparent effort, he has surmounted any obstacle presented by the science and geography departments and found time to manage the photography for Alpha. Possessing great ability as a speaker and conversationalist, Jerry was the orator representing the student body at our First Centennial program. With such qualities as these, Jerry is bound to reach the top in a few strides. CLAIRE CURRAN Norwood Library Club 2, 3; Technical Editor of Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten- Primary Club 1, 2, 3 President 4. Claire takes her life, studies, and work very seriously. She enjoys r eading with true appreciation and can express her tastes with genuine critical insight. She goes about all her work with a quiet efficiency. Among her friends Claire often sheds her cloak of seriousness and displays a fun-loving spirit and even occasional bursts of wit. PHYLLIS DALY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. College and studying to Phyl are very serious, but she ' d rather you didn ' t know it. Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going. She ' s easily flustered, quick to giggle, and takes a joke good-naturedly; then resumes her calm. To the perpetual surprise and amusement of herself and her gang, Phyl changes her mind as quickly as she makes a decision. Page 28

MERCIA CARTER New Bedford Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Soft-spoken and unobtrusive, nothing ever seems to bother Mercia. Always ready for excitement and fun, she and her friends have been pillars at all of our school dances. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion she usually ends by laughing it off. As conductor of the New Bedford Express she has rattled, shivered, and shaken with it but has worn real well! BERNARD CASTLEMAN Quincy Men ' s Athletic Association. Coming to us from Colby, Bernie joined us to get his B.S. degree and to add much fun and wisdom to our classes. Cassy is a regular man about town. Vibrating with personality, he can tell a joke with a flavor all his own. Ready to oblige at all times, he often converted his sport sedan into a free taxicab especially for dorm students. RUTH CHADWICK East Bridgewater Day Student Council 4; First Vice-President 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association 1,2,3,4. Ruth ' s easy-going manner, both wins friends and gets things done. She has a keen interest in athletics, especially basketball and has supervised that sport in our Junior High School for two years. Active in day student affairs, dancing noons in the gym, and talking of California and Swifts Beach (which we know is grand for house parties) are just some of the activities which have occupied so much of Ruth ' s time for the last four years. Her capacity for friendship, her dignity and her ever-present smile help to make her one of the most popular seniors. VIRGINIA CHAMBERS Everett Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. To those who know her well, Ginny ' s a tease, a captivator, and a teller of tall, lively tales. To those of us who do not know her so well she ' s correct, a little haughty, and unafraid to stand up for her rights. She is a musician of high standing, winning praise as accompanist of the orchestra. Ginny used to join lustily in singing the Song of the Marines, but now she has changed her tune, huh Ginny?

RUTH DAVIS Westport President of Woodward 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 2, 3, 4. Coming to us from Hyannis in her sophomore year, Ruth found the Wood girls tops, until her senior year when she was elected to keep them from going astray. It was then she learned that one can ' t judge a book by it ' s cover! For diversion from this great problem, Ruth joined the ranks of the modern dance group and became an active participant of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. Did you find this age easier to handle, Ruth? MARY DeCOSTE Quincy Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Hobby Club 1 . Dark hair, always in a modern up-do and sparkling teeth, together with her bright clothes give Mary a colorful appearance. Argumentative and loqua- cious, she adds worthwhile spice and vigor to any class discussion. An operator ol the Quincy bus to Bridgewater, is just one of the extra-curricular activities in wh.ich Mary has been engaged; the one which perhaps has taken the most time is tile correspondence course which has been carried on between here and the University of Maine! Is that right, Mary? SAMUEL DEICH Dorchester Menorah Society; Treasurer 2, 3; President 4; Lecture Fund 3, 4; Camera Club 4; Men ' s Athletic Association. Remember the Alumni Building Fund? the thermometer on the Ad. build- ing? the chapel program which aroused so much enthusiasm? Sam, having proved himself indispensible as a committeeman, was an enthusiastic supporter of this enterprise and worked untiringly for its success. We are indebted to him for the many fine speakers we heard while he was head of Lecture Fund, and for the organization of the Menorah Society here, of which he was president this year. Sam ' s even temper has carried him through many difficult situations and promises to take him far. French Club 3, 4; Newman Club 3, 4. JOSEPH DEVITT Boston French Club should certainly be grateful to Joe for following the road to Bridgewater for few people have been so faithful to any organization as Joe has to this one. Quiet, unassuming, a very good student, Joe has contributed well to all class discussions and what he has to say is always well worth listening to. Page 29
