BENEDICT G. BARKAN One of the stamp club ' s most avid workers is Benny, whose outstanding ac- complishment is pulling the club out of a depression. That ' s only for the very immediate present though, for he plans to become Private Barkan soon after graduation. Stamp Club 1, 2, Sec.-Treas. 2; Ger- man Club 1; Spanish Club 3, 4; Boys ' Club 3, 4. RAYMOND S. BARNSTONE Starting out as president of Lincoln House in his freshman and sophomore years, Ray has steadily become more firmly entrenched in school affairs. That ' s the reason for his interest in Stu- dent Government — which is now prac- tically in eclipse. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Howard Freedman’s kitchen both intrigue him . . . one men- tally and the other gastrinomically. ALPHA PI Baseball 1, J. V. 2; J. V.

DAVID BARR Limey” ' s heading back home to his beloved Britain this June to join the Naval Air Arm. We hope he takes with him as fond thoughts of us as we have of him. No doubt Dave will return some day as the famous Dr. Barr, if he can forgive us for our weather and habit of saying England” when we mean Britain.” Rally now.” Football 3 ; Track 3, 4, 5 ; Swimming 5 ; Cross Country 4, 5 ; Bicycle Club 3, 4; Var.

BARSTOW Beverley is in more ways than one an unusual person. His idol is that red- headed brunette with the blonde hair”. Figure that one out if you can. Both his pastime, chasing butterflies, and his chief failing, always late for chow, will be things of the past if he achieves his am- bition, any branch of the flying service. Orchestra 1, 2; Boys’ Club 1, 2. M. BARBARA BENNETT Talking on the telephone all night long the way Babs does, will not help us attain an earlier victory, but sup- porting the LLS.O. and launching into a nursing career may help. Her chief failing used to be arguing with the wrong people, so now she takes care of three-year olds. Tennis 2 ; Archery 1 ; Basketball 2 ; Girls’ League 1, 2, 4; Dramatic Soc. 4. SALLY E. BENSUSAN Sally loves dancing, talking on the telephone, and chemistry. These three things may seem unrelated — but that’s Sally — she loves to mix business with pleasure. She’s still looking for her idol — maybe she ' ll find it” in college next year. Sally thinks that all she needs is Ruth Wecker’s brains and maybe a dash of Mr. Bates’ humor.

BEATRICE BERNSTEIN The little brain” of B.H.S. isn’t al- ways thinking of her A s — -she likes to hear Begin the Beguine” played by Artie Shaw, — and who wouldn’t? Her red hair and sunny disposition don’t go together, but Bea is an exceptional lass in many ways. Her time is usually taken up with the French Club, of which she is the President.

BIES Although Breeze” plays a mean bass violin, he wants to be a doctor. But not to be overlooked are Eddie’s outstanding Chemistry marks. (Mr. Anthony, how does he do it?) Koussevitsky, psychol- ogy and college campuses are subjects for his serious moments. Over six feet with an Ooo-la-la smile, Ed is headed for big things.

BIRKBECK Sally’s really an ardent patriot. Any- thing wearing a uniform gets her expert attention . . . N.B. Did she ever hear of such a thing as discrimination? In her more serious moments, though, Sally confesses that she wants to become a nurse. She plans to train at the Massa- chusetts General Hospital. Tennis 2; Girls’ League 2, 3. Entered 2 from Boston. RITA A. BIRMINGHAM This young lady astounded B.H.S. by suddenly appearing in a government issue haircut. Why, we don’t know, per- haps it was because of her interest in soldiers, sailors, and marines. She plans to enter a school of nursing, and hopes that through that she may make her parents the happiest people in the world.

ROBERT M. ABRAMS ROBERT H. APPLEBAUM r This little brain” just lives from day to day. (So pathetic.) Although Bob in- sists he’s an awful wise guy”, we know better. He is interested in good books and better music and thoroughly enjoys English with either Miss Allen or Miss Lewis. Bob’s taking care of his health . . . so he can witness the turn of the century.

WINIFRED ACHESON Since Winnie’s ambition is to be suc- cessful and she has taken the steno- graphic course, she might be able not only to see, but also help make peace if she wanted to go to Washington and be secretary to some big-wig there. Girls ' League 3 ; Red Cross Rep. 5 ; Pep Com. 5 ; Marshal 5. NORMA M. ADELSON Never let it be said that Norm shirks her patriotic duty. Anything but that. She keeps all the boys” (Marines) happy . . . and likes it! Harry James, clothes, shoes, La Pompadour,” Biol- ogy, and especially Rhumba, manage to keep her occupied during her spare time. At odd moments, Norma, can be found discussing Chemistry with Mr. Hall.

Bob, the fellow some peop le call Apples” — because of his rosy cheeks? — has a yen to join Dutch Schultz ' s mob. Sadistic, huh? Bob is aiming at college and an engineering job, but in his lighter moments he listens to Benny Goodman. Filene ' s Fur Storage and the Girls’ Foods Club often see his smiling face. Baseball 1; Football 1; Track 1; Basketball 1. ELEANOR B. ARNOLD Tall and charmingly blond, Elbe is rarely seen without her steadfast com- panion Evie. You’d never know to look at her, but chocolate ice cream is her dish. She hates to be asked how tall she is with heels, but she is consoled if you give her an escalator to ride or trumpets to hear. PEARLIA F. AVERBACK Let’s hope that the war will be over long before Dimples” becomes old enough to join the WAVES. Right now she hates her glasses — perhaps that is because she wishes to become a Powers Model”. Her serious thought is her future and it’s no wonder because her interests are so many and varied.

ROBERT JOSEPH ALBERT When you think of Bob it’s with a grin on your face ... a girl on each arm, Freud” propped up in front of him. This natural wit” likes Mr. F ' s neckties as mu ch as he likes serious thoughts. Bob ' s a very ambitious lad . . . he wants to marry a banker’s daughter and retire at 21. HELEN BAKER Though Blondie’s ambition is to be Tommy Mansville’s private secretary, she will probably settle for a job at the Watertown Arsenal. There’s quite a conflict in her mind as to whether the U. S. Marines or English with Miss Johnson is her favorite subject. We wonder which will win. Girls’ League 2, 3. DEBRA ALLMAN Dorothy, or Debby, as she is known to her public, is a delightfully out- spoken young lady, whose quips and witticisms are known to many. Debby’s accomplishments are of the most out- standing type. She’s bowled 124, an outstanding feat among B.H.S. students in the alley. Debby’s also very good at art, but do not think that this young lady ' s talents begin and end with art. Her special skills in other activities are legion. Girls’ League 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Soc. 4; Lost and Found 2, 3. MARTIN H. BARGAD With making gold from brass as his pet passion, how can Bargy help but realize his ambition of becoming famous? When not experimenting in this field, he spends his time on the tennis court (he’s a second Don Budge). His idol is Martin Bargad. Okay, Bargy”, if you say so.” Entered B. H. S. 4. 26

BRYCE BLAKELY Red” wants to join the Naval Air Corps as a fighter pilot, in part, to get away from women who smell like a walking cosmetic counter. He thinks seriously about the future, but won’t be ready to tell you his outstanding accom- plishment for at least fifty years. In the meantime he’ll pass the time at The Greeks ”.

CHARLES HERBERT BLOOM Can anyone design a plane better than the Thunderbolt? If so, speak to Charlie — he’ll be all ears. When he’s not arguing with Mr. Hall on the merits of the slide rule, he is laughing at Mr. Williams ' jokes (anything for an A” you know). Chuck” is interested in the atmosphere and the stuff that roams around therein.

Although Pat” is his serious thought. Bob Cusick — all 200 pounds of him — is really the object of his affection. Well, well, well!

BETTE ARLENE BORTMAN Miss 2 ' x 4 ” with her pleasing sense of humor and ever increasing in- terest in the U. S. Army, spends her time annoying her friends with puns. If she gets her wish, she ' ll be a medical secre- tary to some nice, fat doctor with a black moustache. Of all the things amus- ing about Brookline, she picks Debby”.

MALCOLM FREET BOUVE Handsome Mel has a very noble sup- pressed desire — i.e. to do something great for posterity. In line with this wish he intends to join the Navy imme- diately after graduation. But he does not plan to make this his life work; be- coming a newspaper reporter is his ulti- mate goal. Science Club 1 ; Nature Club 2. WILLIAM RICHARD BOWEN Guillaume”, who intends to enter the Submarine Service, evidently takes French. Elementary, my dear Watson. Lawrence, Mass, is a special hangout of his, with the Lawrence Social Club tak- ing the honors. When he’s not sling- ing it”, he ' s wondering when he’ll learn to dance and speak French. Bill believes that it’s better to be — than a dope.” Library Staff 1 ; H. R. V. Chm. 1 ; Boys’ Club Rep. 1, 2; Marshal 3, 4. HILDA BOYER Hilda has set for herself a most in- triguing ambition. It is to be a hospital technician. Right now, though, Hilda is involved in the intricacies of la langue Fran aise and related subjects. Among her pastimes, none rates h igher than reading. Hilda hopes that next fall will see her in the halls of Westbrook Junior College. Girls’ Auxiliary 3, 4; Senior Adviser 4; Girls’ Leauge 1, 2, 3, 4; English Club 3, 4; Science Club 4. GLORIA C.

She can play the piano and knit and she believes that opportunity knocks but once.” Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4. 28
