EDMUND JOSEPH BURKE All types of girls are Ed ' s failure, although he sometimes wonders what will become of the men now that women wear slacks. Sports, aviation, and the Navy are his pet interests and his one big accomplishment in life has been passing three years of Latin. Baseball 1 ; H. R. V. Chm. 4. CATHERINE BURNS If anyone knows anything about this girl please report to 239. She ' s very non-committal but we do know that she plays the piano and that her favorite organization is the Navy. Also, our re- search bureau has discovered that her nickname is Pinky”. As to her future plans, they ' re just one more undisclosed item. ELAINE BURTON Burt’s suppressed desire is a universal one — she wants to see h r brothers again. She wants to speed up victory by going into some part of the service. Through her chief interest is out of the country she still manages to keep late hours. That’s quite an accomplishment, don ' t you think? MARIA A. BUSALACCHI This young lady with the architectural tendencies (she says she has a Roman nose), is quite an accomplished person. She has the distinction of having had her art work exhibited at the Art Mu- seum. When interviewed, she told us that she hopes to make art her life work, but she’s very fickle, so we really can’t tell. EDWARD A. CAHILL JR. On the track Ace” has proved his ability, not only in running, but in hu- moring F. Dean. Da Woman,” how- ever, is his main interest. But no woman can take Bud’s interest off the U. S. Marine Air Corps, for that’s where he’s going after graduation, and where he’s sure to be a credit to B. H. S. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; J. V. Letter 3; Track 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ; Var.

NUNCIATA LORETTA CAMPAGNA Nancy must have an eye out for either hard work or what, in her mind, is glamour, ' cause she wants to be an Army nurse. She also is on an all-out cam- paign against little freshmen wearing those long, long shirts. Will they pro- test if we say we agree, too? Hockey 3; Girls’ League Rep. 1, 2, 3, 4; Lost and Found Com. 2, 4; Glee Club 1, 2 ; Senior Adviser 4. ALAN B. CAMPBELL He isn’t kiddin’, when Bruise” says he wants to be a Prof, at M.I.T. U.S. Marines and Lou Costello rate high with him. But his deep passion is Charles Boyer (ain’t Lana Turner good enough for him?). In his five years at B. H. S., Scotty has proved his likeability with a capital L . Boys’ Club 2; Science Club 2, 3, 5. JAMES CAROLAN A red-head with a cheerful disposi- tion . . . that’s Jim. Although he’s ac- tive in other sports, his main interest is golf. Jim wants to be a success in life. The way to accomplish this, in his esti- mation, is to be the pro at the Pinehurst Country Club in North Carolina . . . and maybe teach Veronica Lake! Football Mgr. 1, 2, 3, Ass’t Mgr. 4; Hockey 1 ; Hockey Mgr. 2, 3, 4 ; Golf 1 ; Touchdown Club 1, 2, 3, Sec. 4. Entered from Horace Marin School, Roxbury 1. JAMES CARSON Husky Jim is an all-round athlete. Not only is he an ardent member of our foot- ball team, but he also wishes to become either a member of the Phil Spitalny Orchestra, or to play quarterback for the Chicago Bears. He has a lazy ambi- tion ... to test mattresses for a living. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1; Football 4; Touchdown Club 4; Muriv- ian H. R. R. 4. VIRGINIA A. CASEY As soon as Ginnie gets her diploma, she (all 5 ' 6 of her) plans to go to nursing school. She will have to stop spending her time in that black La Salle, but we’re sure it’s worth it. After all, she’ll be helping her interest , the rest of the Army Air Corps, and doing a necessary job besides. Field Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 2; Badminton 1, 2; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4. 30

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

MARJORIE L. CHALMERS Meet 5 ' 2 Marjorie, the gal with the Jenny Lind voice. We owe the success of the Vocal groups to her, and the Girls’ League entertainments would be lost without her. However, we have it on the strictest authority that Marge will drop her operatic career and become a brain surgeon. No matter what career she follows, she is sure to be a great success.

HARVEY CINAMON The pastime of this lad, whose nick- name is unmentionable, is waiting for February 29. After seeing that, we can readily believe his conviction that he should have been a quiz kid.” As soon as June 17 rolls around Harvey plans to enter the Marines, so that he won’t feel bad about Wake Island. 1st prize, Poster Contest 3 ; Bank 3, 4; H. R. V. Chm. 3. RUTH CLARK Blue-eyed Ruth Clark is one of those people whose burning ambition is to travel and see the world. (Guess she ' ll have to wait a while). In the meantime, Ruth has successfully completed her four years at dear old B.H.S. and is planning to enter secretarial school after graduation. Girls’ League 3, 4; Dramatic Soc. 4. RUTHE F. CLAYTON Ruthie” enjoys teasing . . . probably because she’s a younger sister”. Her favorite organization is the Dramatic Society . . . her favorite subject ought to be history . . . she got an A in a history monthly . . . once. She spends her time reading Superman, and wondering when World War II will be over. Basketball 1; Archery 2; Tennis 2; Girls’ Auxiliary 4; Science Club 4; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4; H. R.

CLEGG Chickie” wants to be a secretary, but ' till then she ' ll settle for dates with Phillip Monahan. The football team amuses her . . . the movies please her . . . and Guy Lombardo intrigues her. Right now she would like nothing better than to leave B.H.S. in 1943 and pass office practice. . . the former sort of depends on the latter. Basketball 1 ; Tennis 1 ; Bank Teller 4; Girls’ League 1, 2. BEVERLEY HARRIETTE COHEN Bev wants to be a doctor — love of hu- manity, no doubt. She gets teary when she hears people say I didn’t open a book last night.” Although she hasn’t any suppressed desire, she has a passion for Chinamen with pigtails, Spanish idioms, Scottish Highlanders, Chemistry and knitting. Girls’ League 1, 2, 4; Science Club 2; Glee Club 1. CARL PHILIP COHEN This young man is probably the most distinguished looking boy in the high school. Don’t think it’s due to any out- standing accomplishment (look at his list of organizations) ; those graying temples” have done the trick. Zeke’s anathema is Giggling girls” . . . and his current heart throb is Rita Hayworth. But then Carl is a fickle land ... we just don’t know what other actress he’ll go with next! Boys’ Club 1, 2, 3. CHARLOTTE COHEN Chari, otherwise known as the great luffer , is simply nuts about sailing at Marblehead. Her suppressed desire is to be an American Spy in Germany ; since it ' s suppressed, she spends her time watching Harvard play football. Her interest is selling War Stamps and Bonds.

COHEN Seemingly gifted with scientific ten- dencies, Dave considers physics his fav- orite subject, but then fails to follow through in chemistry, for he says that his outstanding accomplishment was go- ing from A to D in that subject in one month. However, if his future plans ma- terialize, neither of these will be of paramount importance, because in the Marine Corps he will be kept busy with other things. Track 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Touchdown Club 4; Track Club 2; Bank Teller 1, 2; Boys’ Club Rep. 3, 4. GERTRUDE COHEN Gerty pronounced with a Brooklyn e , would like to go to Grinnel Col- lege, Iowa. (We don’t like where it is either). But when it comes to boys, Gert is strictly a believer in mono-maleism — one man at a time — (but the question is . . . how many times?) Red’s fondest thoughts are all focused on Camp Swift, Texas. Girls’ League 4. Rep. 5; Bank Teller 5; Library Rep. 5. Entered 4 from Brighton High. 31
