PAULINE NICKERSON Holy Cats” where will the orchestra be next year without Nicky and her clarinet? She’ll be playing with a swing band which should suit her to a T”. We are sure she is well on the road to the realization of her am- bition to be a great musician. JAMES O’NEIL That’ ’s what you say,” Jerry, but we know you’ll be a success in whatever you do. We shall never forget your fine playing on the football and basketball teams. We know your good sportsman- ship will pay dividends. WILLIAM O’NEIL Bill’s chief interests and en- joyments have been his classmates when he has not been engaged in despatching the U.S. Mail. His plans for the next year or so will be determined by Uncle Sam, after which he hopes to prepare for the study of medicine. ERANCIS PAPASEDERO Our basketball star, Popsy” said he will se us in church, that is if we both go. After he gets out of the Navy he hopes to get married and have a large family. This athletic and ambitious lad should make the grade m activity which he undertakes. JEAN PARKER Red” intends to work in a dentist’s office when she graduates, and think how lucky the patients will be! She hopes to have plenty of time to write to that fellow in the Navy. MARGARET PAYNE Peggy” plans to enter the em- ploy of Sti.irtevant’s and hopes to become such a success on her job that she will gain an opportunity for advancement. Her leisure time will be occupied by her two favorite hobbies, reading atul dancing. CLAIRE LOUISE PECK After graduation, C laire wants to work in an office and save money to tr.ivel. She wants to see the world! We just hope she can find plenty of food on the other side of the w ' ater because Claire’s favorite pastime is eatitig at Cole’s. JOY PEN DERG AST Don’t be surprised if you see Penny” looking at you from the cover of a magazine some day, be- cause after graduating from Colby, she intends to become a model. With her person.dity and savoir faire” we know she wdl be a success. ANN PETERSON Ann was chosen as our most reliable” which is a most desirable quality for a doctor.

RICHARD McCarthy Dick s.iys tli.it he will icincmber the sports, the girls, .iiul study h.ills of D.H.S. We are sure th.it his athletic ability and sociil talents will cause him to be re- membered too. After receiving his diploma, Dick will set sail in the U. S. Coast Cuard. WILLIAM McDonald W ' oof-woof ”, we hear Mac” coming! Whv? It must be base- ball, football, or maybe just women he’s thinking of. It’s radio school lor Bdl if Uncle Sam tloesn’t find out what a swell fellow he is before then. Mac will make out o.k. VIOLLT McMA.STERS We are sure the pupils will not be truant when Vi” becomes a school teacher for which she is well qualified by inclination and temperament. We shall remem- ber how she enjoyed the proms and dances. ALAN MEN ICE Alan is now on duty in the U. S. Coast Guard, but we shall remember this energetic hustler as a manager of the senior play pro- gram booklet and as an ace sales- man. Lie was always interested in class affairs and never needed a second invitation to a dance. CATHERINE MONTISANO Kay’s interest in clothes has lead to her desire to be a model for which career she intends to prepare at Boston University. We shall remember Kay best for her discussions in salesmanship and her partici|iation in class func- tions. MARGARET MORRISSEY Although Peggy admits a fond- ness for radio crooners, it is dif- ficut to picture this businesslike and efficient voting lady swooning b her rad lo. If conscicnciou.s ability and personality insure suc- cess, Peggy will be tops in her chosen vocation. STELLA MUCCIACCO Spam” is our efficient treas- urer and our most athletic girl. 1 ler cheerful smile and obliging manner will assure her of success in any of life’s endeavors. Her ambition is to marry a rich man. ELEANOR NELSON If you hear Oh Gee” followed by an infectious giggle coming from the window of the Norfolk and Dedham Fire Insurance Co., you may be certain it belongs to Elly”, whose chief interests have been Miss Murdock’s English class, sports, and children. JEAN NAY Jean is going to be a cadet nurse with the idea of becoming a Navy nurse. She figures that she will go to the battle areas whereas now only her letters get there. Roller skating was her chief hobby. GLORIA NELSON Nellie” says she is undecided as to whether she shall follow a singing or nursing career, but per- haps she could combine the two to good advantage. We believe her calm disposition will always be a great asset. Page 20 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL

JOHN QUINN ' Gus” is heading foi Mass. State College where he will pursue his interests in scientihe subjects. We shall remember John as a friend ever willing to aid in any class activity. He intends to be- come a bacteriologist. MARIE QUINN Read the long list beside Marie’s name in the activities section of this book, and you will discover why she was selected the most popular girl. This picture should explain why Marie was chosen as the best looking girl. RITA RAWLEY Modest .and uinassuming are suitable adjectives for Ronny” who for several years has been dis- playing her vocal talents over the radio with her brother’s Wild Azaleas.” She will be a book- keeper. ROBERT RAY Captain of the 1944 football team, a member of the Eastern Mass. All-Star hockey team, and State Champion in the shotput, are some of the athletic honors heaped up husky Bob”. EDNA RESKA The diamond on the third huger of the left hand is the clue to Edna’s future. However, she in- tends to work for the duration of the war. Swimming and bowl- ing are two of her hobbies. GEORGE RIMELMAN After the war George hopes to enter the radio industry. This ambition probably can be traced to his employment at the Dedham Community Theatre. We know he will make the grade. WIEEIAM RINN Bill is quite an expert on radio or anything dealing with elec- tricity. Very logically he will follow this hobby and make it his career by studying electrical engineering at M.I.T. CARE ROBINSON To be selected as a member of the Suburban All-Stars is the highest honor which can come to a Dedham player, but our Carl richly deserved this tribute. He hopes to continue his stellar play- ing wearing the green of Dart- mouth. EESIE ROCKSTROM Had you noticed? Whenever the class held any function, Elsie was sure to be found on one of the committees. Her classmates long ago recognized what her em- ployers will soon find, that, when Elsie undertakes a task, it is as good as completed. MARY ROGERS In further preparation for her secretarial career, Mary will attend a business school next year. Oh, how horrible!” is Mary’s favorite expression, but we know she never used it to describe those dances. Page 22 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL
