Foreword These lines are fashioned, rhyme on rhyme, And word by word, one at a time. And so it is the wide world through There are so many tasks to do, Yet all of them come not at once But with the days and weeks and months And long, glad years in which we build The purpose of our being rilled With bonds of faith and truth and love, And hopes that reach the skies above.

JOHN BERGERO General Course History Circle, Orchestra, Thanksgiving Night Show, Tau Sigma. “Music has its charms “ Johnny, the “Jimmy Dorsey” of the class was a familiar sight at our class entertainments sitting in with the orchestra. Despite the fact that a great deal of his spare time was taken up playing with various orchestras, still he managed to squeeze in a few odd moments with his books. Johnny will be remembered by 1940 as a quiet, agreeable, and all- round good sport; always glad and willing to help out when help was needed. Present plans call for him following his sax into a musical career, and knowing Johnny we feel sure that some day he will be in the sax section of one of the nation ' s big dance bands — that ' s the wish of 1940. NATHALIE FRANCES BRIGHAM Commercial Course History Circle, Shorthand Circle, Class Book Staff, Junior Prom Committee, Photography Club. What sweet delights a quiet life affords. Nathalie, although far from six feet tall, makes up for this lack of stature by never ailing v itality and pep. “Nat as she is known to her many friends, when not at the theatre, can generally be found studying her shorthand or pounding the keys of her type- writer. This accounts for her name appearing on the testimonial list. The best of wishes from the Class of 1940 go to “Nat” for the success in her Secretarial work. MARGARET HAZEL BROWN Commercial Course Photography Club, History Circle, Shorthand Circle. “There is no genius lik c the genius of energy and wisdom ' ' Margaret is one of the quiet, unobtrusive members of the senior class whose name appears regularly on the testimonial list. She excells in typing; her nimble fingers fly rhythmically over the keys. Her willingness to help and her cheerful smile have won her many friends. Best of luck to you Margaret in whatever you choose to do. VERN BROWNELL Commercial Course Tau Sigma, History Circle. Today l am a man. Vern is one of our boys, who though not engaged in sports is popu- lar with his fellow students. His best loves in sports are skiing and skating. Vern can always be seen with Ray around school, particularly in Mr. Gordon’s office. He does not neglect his pleasures for study but always manages to get his points. Vern’s quiet nature and amiable disposition have won for him many friends and the Class of 1940 wishes him the best of luck. 13
