HOMER MERRIFIELD Herk Hcrk. our most atlilclic senior, lias spent most of his lime for the past four years indulging in any and every sport that lias been offered. Football. Basketball. Baseball, and any others you can name. Herk has participated in Chorus, Hi-Y, and Classical Club. BARBARA PICKARD “Pick Another athlete in the crowd. Barb is particularly noted for her bowling. She plays Basketball. Volleyball. sings in the Chorus, and was the maid in the Senior play, but before everything else she likes “Peanut.” THOMAS McMAHON “Tommy” Tommy is the class orator and I understand he wants to be a lawyer later on. He II have no trouble becoming one and I m sure anyone in the Senior class will verify the fact that he can certainly argue a point. He has been in Prize Speaking. Classical Club. Band, and Scouts, and with that black wavy hair — well, how many hearts have you broken? MARY ALICE MERRIAM Mary Alice Mary Alice, stop talking! Mary Alice, turn around! In spite of her devotion to conversation, Mary Alice has found time to be active in Ciris’ Basketball. Vol- leyball. Chorus. Journalism, and Sub Debs. Her vibrant person- ality makes her one of the best- liked seniors. ROBERT MERRIFIELD “Bob Oh. you man you! Yes. Bob is the manly type — those football shoulders. When he isn't playing Football or Interclass Basketball or attending a Sea Scout meeting, he may be found in Gates’ store. Bob s always got a big smile for the customers — no wonder that store has so much trade. ERA NENTWICK Era Era’s very unassuming but si e has made her presence known, especially in Social Studies Class when she comes up with an an- swer to one of Miss Hamilton’s impossibles. Basketball. Volley- ball. F.H.A.. and Journalism at- tribute to her successful four years. CATHERINE PALMER “Kale” Kale is the artist of the class. Some day we may be wearing dresses designed by Miss Palmer.” She is a member of the I'.H.A. and may be lound most any time in the Home Ec. room. She is in Chorus and on the Lyre staff, but spends most of her time drawing. II I could draw like that. I’d spend all my linie at it. RUTH PILBEAM Rllth Ruth may live in a valley, but I understand she s fond of I Iil!s” (pun —pun). No one seems to know her secret formula for that nice complexion of hers. Maybe it s due to her activity in Basket- ball. Volleyball, and Bowling. Ruth is an outstanding vocalist and sings in the Chorus and is also an active member of Jour- nalism.

RICIIARD LOVELESS Me Ah’ ni from the Soulli — the deep South, that is. Yes, Jake came hack to his old Alma Mater after having been in Virginia lor the past live years. He stepped right into the sports field, proving his ability in Basketball. Foot- ball. and Baseball. Tall, dark and handsome, that’s Dick. But nobody (women, that is) seems to be able to get an inside track. Richard, why don t you open that door? rici iard j. McDermott Dick’' Dick has spent most of his time in high school setting up or taking down the movie projector. Football. Interclass and Barnyard Basketball, and Sea Scouts have helped to fill in the rest of the time. Maybe that’s how lie got those muscles — but where did he get that smile? Dick is really quite a hunk of man! MARY ANNE LA POINTE Mary Anne Oomph! — that’s what Mary Anne has and plenty of it. That long dark hair and that figure — need we say more? She rides back and forth to school in a certain black Ford — bet you can t guess whose it is. Anyway. Mary Anne has been in Journal- ism, Chorus, played Basketball. Volleyball, and been on the Bowling team. Yes. she’s quite a gidl CARLTON MAYER Carl They say still water runs deep and Carl is certainly a classic ex- ample of this statement. He is rather small and very handsome with that dark wavy hair and those dark eyes (pardon me while I drool). He hails from Red Rock and between hitch- hiking back and forth, he has managed to play Interclass Bas- ketball and be an avid Sea Scout. No. he doesn’t say much, but with that smile he doesn t have to. RICHARD McGIVNEY Mac Dick is the custodian of the sweets bar at the local Bijou. I don t think he has any enemies because, though he has been un- obtrusive throughout the four years, he has gathered a host of friends. He has played Football, Interclass Basketball, been in Sea Scouts and helped with the Stu- dent Council. I wish he weren’t so bashful. MYRA Mac-CREA Myra To tell about Myra would take at least two volumes. She s the clown of the class. If anything happens, be it comic or tragi», everyone automatically takes it for granted that Myra was in on the deal. She Bowled, played Basketball and Volleyball, sang in the Chorus and was very ac- tive in Home Economics. Believe it or not. Myra, we all love you. BARBARA LETTERMAN Barb Barb is blonde, attractive and likes blue Chevvies. She lives the year round by the scenic Seneca and comes back and forth to school on the bus. She likes to bowl, especiajly with a Quinn tct. She sings in the Chorus. Sub-Debs. Journalism. Lyre Staff. HELEN McARDELL Helen Helen comes from the country and doesn’t have much to say. but have you heard her play the piano? They say music speaks louder than words — or is that action? Well, anyway. Helen is good! She also plays Basketball and Volleyball, sings in the Chorus and was an able typist on the Lyre Staff. Keep up the good work. Helen.

ELEANOR ROSS Eleanor Eleanor comes quite a distance to school on the bus, but this hasn't inhibited her activity in Basketball. Volleyball. Journal- ism, and Chorus. She managed to take part in the Senior Play in her spare time and though she doesn't talk much, when she does, everybody listens. EDNA RACHA Edna Edna doesn’t have much to say. but with that smile she doesn't have to. She loves to bowl and proved very able on the girls, team. In her spare time she has played the sax in both the Swing Band and the regular band, besides singing in the Chorus and playing Basketball. JOSEPH REEVES Joe rides on the bus and may he seen palling around with a g.'rl from Cold Spring. Even though Joe would rather sleep than any- thing else, he Jias managed to keep himself quite busy in Sea Scouts. Interclass, and Barnyard Basketball. Howard things lately, Joe? PATRICIA SINNETT Pot The pedestrians well know the driving ability (?) of Pat. On rare occasions she lets her father borrow the car. She has taken part in Journalism. Volleyball. Basketball. Chorus. Band. Sigma Pi Rho, Sub Debs, and Prize Speaking, along with vurious plays, etc. So you can readily see why she has no spare time. JEAN TE1ER Tele'' A one-woman cheering section. I do believe that Tete has kept the team and the cheerleaders going all these years. Swish — that was Jean playing basketball. That sour note in the alto section — that was Jean! Volleyball. Bowling. Journalism. Sub-Debs, and Sigma Pi Rho — yes. Tele's had her finger in all of them — in fact, she’s had her whole hand in. Need we say more? KENNETII 11IOMAS ’ Kenny ’ Kenny may well be remem- bered by his role of Fatty’’ in the Junior play and also as Mr. Parker in the Senior play. When he hasn t been practicing for some dramatic production, he has been singing in the Chorus, play- ing 1‘oolhall or Interclnss Basket- ball or participating in Journal- ism and Classical Club. Oh. yes. he does a little school work on the side. MARY WEIGAND Stretch Yes. Mary is the Brain of the class, but this by no means de- tracts from her personality. Be- sides her many academic achieve- ments. Stretch has also set up quite a record on the basketball court. Volleyball. Sigma Pi Rho, Classical Club, and Prize Speak- ing have also helped to keep her busy lor lour short years.
