Between the Clough sisters is Miss Mary Sweeney, Sim- mons graduate, who has endeared herself to the hearts of 4E. Miss Helen Woodside, still minus a home room, has kept a passage clear in the senior corri- dor for late students. Miss Mary Weeks has learned to write with her fingers crossed, attempting to drive the jinx away from her bed of Russell Lupins. Miss Laura J. Mclntyre, who received her B.S. from Simmons, boasts that she hasn't had a cold all winter. Knock on wood, Miss Mclntyrel Petite English teacher, Miss Florence E. Murdock, acted as adviser to the class prophecy, Miss Joan Tobin, gym instructor, presided way downstairs. as usual. Miss Rosalie Lyons found time from studying guidance to join a music club under the direc- tion of Miss Ecker. Mr. Joseph H.

Wallace enjoyed a well-earned rest after having been chairman of the senior advisers for four successive years. Not included in this picture: Mr. Robert W. Gibb, director of the orchestra and band, who has managed to keep his public life private: Miss Harriette Hunting, who has taught Dedham High School girls how many cooks spoil the broth: and Miss Mary E.

After he takes a post-graduate course he will go to Tufts and become an elec- trical engineer. BERTHA EILEEN APPLEI With Bertie's smile it could be quite easily that the Postal Telegraph Company will wel- come her with open arms. Her favorite pastimes are dancing. talking in Mr. Ryan's classes ltskl tskll. and eating. When she's in charge of things. we hope she'll send Topper a sing- ing telegram that really sings. MARJORIE LOUISE ARMSTRONG Heavens to Betsy? Margie was so startled by our sudden demand to know her plans that she almost missed her basket. Although her destination is un- known. we are sure that with her strong arm lls there a pun- ster in the house?l and steady aim. Margie will shoot her ball into the basket of Success. VINCENT F. ARNOLD Although he is one of our milder boys. Vin nevertheless is one of our busiest. Remember how well he handled practically all the checking at our class dances? After perfecting his already outstanding mathematical and scientific ability at North- eastern. he will become a well- known chemical engineer. ? Gsm- 3 ELEANOR BAILEY Eleanor. our best-dressed girl. will lend her good marks and sports enthusiasm to Oberlin College. where she hopes to meet more teachers like Miss Boynton. After attaining another scholas- tic record. she will eventually get married and settle down. Oh Heavens I though. Eleanor, you'll have to decide between the two gentlemen then. MARTHA BAILEY Having enjoyed teachers. as- semblies. and D. H. S. in gen- eral. Miss Dedham High School is heading in the right direction when she plans to teach in a kindergarten. Oh Lawd! though. Mart. will you still have time for those tricky tennis shots. that smooth dancing. and your swimming? DOROTHY MARCIA BARLOW Dignified Dottie. the beautiful villain of our senior play. is headed for Middlebury College and a career as a buyer. Of her varied accomplishments in Ded- ham High School one stands out triumphant: she retained her usual composure in the face of a barrage of Mr. Bottomley's wit- ticisms. ROBERT L. BEDDIA Bob evidently doesn't like be- ing a stooge to Carlyn. the ma- gician, because he is planning to follow in Mr. Heaphy's foot- steps and be a teacher-coach. Our class politician will then have to spend the rest of his life giving fiery pep talks to his football teams.
