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 ”. Football Mgr. 2; Baseball Mgr. 1, 2; Basketball Mgr. 1, 2; Marshal 1, 2; Library Staff 2 ; Touchdown Club 2 ; Orchestra 1, 2. 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.

DAVID ALAN BLOOM Dave is a fellow with brown eyes and a distorted sense of humor . . . don’t worry, he tells us that himself.

RAY BLUE We re sure it will be a snap for Blue . . . s” to get into the Naval Air Corps after passing Mr. Bemis’s Com- mando course, an outstanding accom- plishment for anyone. Although Pat” is his serious thought. Bob Cusick — all 200 pounds of him — is really the object of his affection. Well, well, well!

The gas ration- ing had its deep effect on her ’cause Totem Pole keeps beckoning. But any- way, men, the root of all evil, bless their little hearts”, if there are any left, will smooth matters out. Riding 3, 4; Tennis 1; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4; Girl Scouts 1; Science Club 4; Poster Club 4. 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.

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. BRAND Gloria or Skippie” is v-e-r-y devoted to the Naval Air Corps — her future plans are even a naval secret. People who are never on time had better stay away from Skippie” — she has a temper. She can play the piano and knit and she believes that opportunity knocks but once.” Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4. 28

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. Letter 5; Square Dancing 4; Boys’ Club 3, 4; Red Cross Rep. 5; Muriv ' tan Com. 5 ; Sagamore 3, 4, 5. Entered 3 from Haberdashers ' Aske’s School, London, England. BEVERLEY R. 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.

ILSA BRANDT ANDREW BROWN The little girl with the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth (that’s the way she de- scribes herself) is lisa. She wants to be a dietitian and, as is to be expected, Foods is her favorite subject. She thinks the English Club is tops . . . but Math, doesn ' t even rate. Come let me clutch thee”, says she, quoting Shakespeare. Basketball 2; Tennis 2; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4; Foods Club 1, 2, 3; Eng- lish 4; Science Club 4. ROBERTA BRENNAN Bobby” says she has a remarkable ability for getting into trouble, but Mr. Grinnell and Mr. Bartlett must soothe her or she wouldn’t idolize them. She likes sports, all of them, and she’s headed for Sargent College to become an instructor in physical education. Just where that ties in with her favorite sub- ject, Chemistry, is a bit vague. Archery 1, 2; Tennis 2; Var. Swim- ming Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Field Hockey 1, 2; Var. 4; Basketball 3; Old English B” 4; Red Cross Rep. 4; Bank Teller 5. ROBERT BREST Bob, of the wide smile, takes great interest in any sport, and especially in the Braves. St. Clairs, the 920 Club and the big man himself, take up a good deal of his precious time, that is, of course, when he’s not thinking of ways to answer the 64 dollar question. Ass’t Mgr. Swimming 1 ; Bank Teller 3 ; Red Cross Rep. 1, 2, 3. MAJORIE BROIDE Here we have another Harry James fan in Margie, whose pet peeve at the same time is Guy Lombardo. She wants to be a medical secretary and perhaps her favorite subject. Chemistry, will help her along. Her suppressed desire is to hit the bald man at the bowling alley on the head ... a desire that may be real- ized. Quien sabe? Swimming 2 ; Tennis 1 ; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Soc. 4. NORMA BROMBERG While Norm will have to suppress her desire to pilot a plane until the war is over, she still spends her time at the mail box when she isn ' t writing thous- ands of letters. At any rate, whether it ' s at her pet passion or piloting an air plane, may she always be successful. Sagamore Reporter 4; Girls’ League 4; Dramatic Soc. (Bus. Staff) 4; Stage Door 4; Red Cross Rep. 4. Entered 4 from Newton High School. Baseball, swimming, and horseback riding are only a few of the things in which Andy is proficient, for when it comes to Biology or Physics, he’s your man. Right now he hopes to join the U. S. Marines so that he may aid Uncle Sam in making the world safe for his women. ROBERT BROWN Retiring in good health at the age of 40 is a desire we hope isn’t suppressed, but Brownie” will have to have more serious thoughts than just her” to at- tain that goal. Brownie” isn’t plan- ning on the army (now he should know better than that) but wants a good job now. J. V. Baseball 2; |.V. Letterman 2; Track 3; Hockey 2, 3; Freshman Num- erals 1 ; Red Cross Rep. 3, 4. FAY BUCHHALTER Fay’s long nails are the talk of the school, along with her nice singing voice. She bas a great liking for His- tory, but Chemistry leaves her cold — in fact she’d like to slip a little arsenic in a chemical reaction.” She can generally be seen at the Statler Hotel — surrounded by Dartmouth men. Horseback Riding 3, 4; Girls’ League 3, 4; Science Club 4; English Club 4; Girls’ Auxiliary 4; Murivian Com. 4. Entered B. H. S. 3. CARLITA BUNKER Lincoln House is proud to have as one of its members, a lovely young lady from Puerto Rico. Carlita has found our school system quite different from hers ; our customs, too. Carlita men- tioned one custom we pass on to you. fn Puerto Rico, girls may go on dates only if chaperoned by one of their par- ents. Entered 4 from Puerto Rico. EDWARD FRANCIS BURGESS Ed”, whose idol, needless to say, is Edward F. Burgess has set his course straight for Annapolis, though his im- mediate plans (more likely those of his draft board) are for the U.S. Army or Navy as a private or seaman. He is a versatile fellow and claims the ability to play four instruments. All at once, Ed? Baseball 1; Basketball 1; Marshal 3; Orchestra 1, 2, 3 ; Dramatic Soc. 3. 29
