A girl of many talents, popular with all. Who was it that said, “Beauty and brains cannot he combined.” Well, Ferg is certainly an exception to the rule, for besides being one of the most attractive girls in our class, she is one of the stu- dents gifted with scholastic ability. Mary was the lucky girl chosen as the representative of our school to attend the meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which was held in Boston. Ferg plans to further her studies at Simmons, and we know that whatever she chooses for her life ' s work, she will succeed. Best of luck from ' 40, Mary! BETTY FITCH College Course History Circle, Photography Club. Friendship shone in her eye. When the Class of 1940 points out its pride and joy it certainly can ' t afford to miss Betty. Betty has gained many friends in C.H.S., and her spirit of friend- liness is well known to all. Her smile just seems to invite friends, and she possesses the charm to perpetuate them. She has not revealed to us her future ambition but girls with dis- positions like Betty’s invariably make a success of life. Good luck, Betty, from dear old ' 40.

Although Anna never took studying too seriously, she has always been successful in anything she undertook. Anna ' s ambition is to be a nurse. We are certain that when she dons her white uniform she will be a great success because of her sunny disposition and cheery smile. Id) WARD DYLKWICZ Commercial Course I listory Circle, Photography Club. “Every man must reach success in his own way. Edward will never be remembered by his classmates as being boister- ous and noisy; in tact his acquaintances and intimate friends were a bit limited. However he did represent the typical high school student, in that he was right in there plugging along all the time. The business world will see more of Edward in future years as he plans to go to Business School next year. Best of luck Edward, from 1940. WILLIAM FAIRBANKS General Course History Circle, Tau Sigma. “Xot that I loved study less, Rut that I loved leisure more. ' ' Bill was what might be described as an “Enigma. and in case you ' re wondering what that is, it ' s something that is very difficult to explain. One of the smallest boys in the class, he nevertheless was one of the most sophisticated. Studies to him were as important as a fifth wheel on an automobile. During our last year with him, we dis- covered him burdened down with the weight of two (2) subjects while the rest of us were struggling with five or six. Take it easy was Bill’s motto and maybe he had the right idea - — but just in case, 1940 wishes him success in whatever field he selects in his life work. JAMES FAR RAG! 1ER College Course History Circle, Tau Sigma. “An ounce of wit Is worth a pound oj sorrow.” James, another prominent member of the l ire Station Gang, could never be accused of over concentrating on study. To him studying was something that could be put off indefinitely. However, when report cards were handed out, he always managed to display one which was marked with a minimum of red ink. What James plans tor the future is a bit indefinite at present, but whatever path he chooses, he carries along with him the best wishes ol his classmates in 1940. 18
