HENRY BARBER Pittsfield Camera Club 1, 2, President 3, 4; Men ' s Athletic Association 1, Treasurer 2, 3, 4; Campus Comment 1, 2; Newman Club 1; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Business Manager Alpha 4; Baseball Manager 3; Tennis Team 3, 4. H. J. is a versatile boy; efficient enough to have a finger in every proceeding, inefficient enough to do a good job at all of them. No grind, despite his good marks. Bud reserves about two hours a week for study — from one to three some quiet morning. When genetic patterns evolve a specimen as unbigoted, as unaffected, and as generous as the Pittsfield panther, we ' d like to be there at the epiphany. LAWRENCE BERCH Mattapan Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; President 4; Men ' s Club 1,2, 3, 4. Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice He ' s that tall quiet blonde who reads Lil Abner in the library, who wisely sleeps while professors talk, and who occasionally emerges to take over the romantic leads in the school plays. A good head, even temper, retiring nature, — that ' s Larry. There is more in him than people suspect. Some day he will surprise not only them but himself. GEORGE BORGES Dighton Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dra- matic Club 2, 3, 4. George is one of our most versatile actors, as the dramatics class will readily testify, — feminine roles or character roles, it made no difference to George. Possessing a pleasant and aimiable nature, and an even, unruffled temper, George has quietly won the friendship of all. MARY BRIGIDA Plymouth Day Student Councii 1, 2, 3; S. C. A. Representative 1; Dean ' s Council 2, 3; W. A. A. Director of Basketball 3; Pres. W. A. A. 4. Good sportsmanship is the outstanding characteristic of Bridge, both socially and athletically. Her vitality is shown on the gymn floor, hockey field, at sport conferences, and in all social groups. Dark flashing eyes, jet hair, a sunny disposition, (the key to her popularity) all truly enhance her pep, vigor. Page 21

AMELIA ACEBO Quincy Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Librarian of Glee Club 3; Second Vice-President oi Glee Club 4; German Club 1,2,3, 4; Director of German Club 3; Mixed Choir 4. This shy little miss from Quincy has made a very special place for herself in our class. One of the best refreshment workers German Club has yet found, Amelia is always willing to pitch in and help. Few know it but Amelia has a Spanish background, and if you can get her started, she has a sense of humor, unsus- pected by most of her classmates. A good teacher, Amelia likes the little ones of the first grade, but whatever the grade, she makes music one of her main interests. ILMI ANDERSON Wareham French Ciub 1,2,3, 4; First Vice President oi French Club 2; Vice President 3; Secretary 4. Second As one of our outstanding blondes, Ilmi has always been studious, and yet active socially. She is a very prominent member of French Club, and was always rushing around to get her job done guickly and efficiently. Even though her commuting has been a problem, she has never allowed it to interfere with her numerous college activities. ARTHUR APPLEBAUM Dorchester Alpha Art Staff 1, 2; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Men ' s Club 1,2,3, 4; Campus Comment 2, 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4. Frank and impulsive, Aps sometimes shocks people, but those who know him have seen beneath the exterior. His is a nature of rich struggling emotions, of generosity, of sincerity. There is some- thing in him, too, — a deep feeling and love for music, poetry and drama. Yet, more than the ability to appreciate the beautiful, ■ — he has the ability to create it. MELVIN BACKMAN Lynn Topics of Day 4; Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Only few of us can penetrate the cold reticence of a clever man. Underneath the slight, soigne demon who freguently enlivened Dr. Arnold ' s classes with his ardent philosophy, there lurked a witty and unselfish dreamer. Mel is a sober idealist in a Beelze- bub mask. Page 20

WILLIAM BRODERICK Bridgewater Men ' s Athletic Association I, 2,2. 4; Men ' s Club 1,2,3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3; Captain of Baseball 4. Here ' s one fellow without the least trace of vanity. Taciturn, friendly, generous, Bill is one of the most popular men of the senior class, and by the way, Bill ' s the most consistent hitter on the base- ball team. If any fault is to be found with him, it ' s that his opinion of himself is too small. EDNA BROWN Quincy Hobby Club (Treasurer 3); KP Club; Library Club; Newman Club, 2nd Vice President oi Woodward Dormitory 4; Dormitory Council 4. To the one who loves to travel and meet people; to the girl who becomes a friend of all those she meets. To the girl who is inter- ested in everything and everyone. To you, Edna, we wish hap- piness for always. CAREY BRUSH Raynham Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Life to Carey is a walk along the sea-shore. Whether he is loping on the basketball court, or zealously engaged in harassing Mr. Durgin, the Brush happiness is in evidence. The boy with the plastered hair and frightening green tie (or it is red, Carey?) can teach us all a thing: the way to enjoy life is to live it. BARBARA BUFFINGTON Seekonk Kindergarten — Primary Club (Treasurer 3, 2nd Vice President 4); Treasurer oi Dormitory Council 4. You couldn ' t miss this vivacious little lady with the twinkle in her eye. Need enthusiasm, cheering-up, or just plain help? Call on Barb. Would Wood have its rec room if it hadn ' t been for Barbara? Page 22
