EILEEN ROONEY The Class of 1945 points with pride to our girl genius” and to her all A report cards. After graduating cum laude from Smith, Eileen intends to take up journalism as a career. We all know that whatever she does, she will always be at the top. DOROTHY ROSCIA Dottie” hopes to learn a few more tricks about those perilous pompadors at Wilfred Academy. We are sure she will have her two chief ambitions gratified, to have a fur coat and to dance to name bands. A well known athlete may fit into her future plans. CARL ROSE Northeastern University opened its doors to this young man in March. Carl was an ardent hockey player in which capacity his even temper, good humor, and fine sportsmanship were often manifested. JAMES B. ROTHWELL Barney” was an ardent en- thusiast for Topper’s” histor)’ tests. Good luck to him at Northeastern and may he become an excellent aeronautical engineer some day. SHEILA RUSSELL Here is a recruit for the Cadet Nurses’ Corps. Rusty” has all the attributes necessary for a suc- cessfid nurse. Swimming and dancing head the list of her hob- bies which we know she will con- tinue to enjoy. ARLENE SCHERBER We know that Cookie” would make a very efficient secretary, but, after watching her work on the decoration committee for the Senior From, we believe that she has the unusual talents and abili- ties in decorative art and design. BETSY SCHMALZ Bet” will spend a year at Northfield School before going on to college. An honor graduate with many extra-curricular ac- tivities, she will be a success in any endeavor. We recall that Betsy was sincerely interested in the welfare of the class. NANCY SCHMALZ Nan plans to go to college next year and train to become a kinder- garten teached. If her pupils are as fond of her as we are, she ought to have a successful career. Nancy says she’ll miss 208 studies and Topper — won’t we all! PEGGY SEALE Peggy’s enthusiasm and genuine fondness for children will prove a great asset to her in her chosen profession, that of a kindergarten teacher. In years to come we shall recall how Peggy took such an interest in every class func- tion. Ui)RRAINE SEARS Lou” plans to become a book- keeper in the immediate future, but ultimately she intends to marry a lad who is now wearing one of Uncle Sam’s blue uniforms. Eou” thinks lunches should be eaten during X period. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 23

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

MERILYN SHAW What better name than Merry” could one find for a per- son who greets the world with such a pleasant smile? Merry’s” plans lead her to Simmons College, anti we know she will make the fine librarian she hopes to be. ANNE SEIEPHERD Quiet, consciencious, and ethei- ent Anne will be a success in any endeavor. We discovered that under that shy and retiring man- ner we had a real friend ever ready to help a fellow cl.issmate. ERANCES SHEPHERD Frances will do well in what- ever field she enters for she has the qualities which will inevitably spell success. Eler classmates will remember her as a fine .student and a real friend. I RANK SHERMAN W ' hitey’s” ability to solve dif- ficult problems in mathematics and his friendly manner will bring success to his endeavor not only in the U. S. Coast Guard but in the business world after the war. RAEPH SHIEEDS This young man is a pltigger who decides upon a goal and then sets about achieving it. When he says that he hopes to enter the field of aviation, we know his training in mathematics and the sciences qualify him for the work he desires. EDITH SIAS Although Edie” was a new comer to Dedham High this year, she quickly won our hearts by her quiet and unassuming manners. She plans to enter training to be- come a nurse next fall at the Quincy Elospital and continue her many hobbies. EUGENE SMITH Because Gene” was voted the best-looking boy in the senior class, don’t get any false impres- sion, for he was a real football and basketball player, one who could give and take with the best of them. NANCY SPIERS This talented young lady has a penchant for decorating homes and perhaps this will be her voca- tion as well as a hobby when Nancy completes her college course. We shall remember Nancy as a good student, a fine musician, and a firm friend. HELEN STAEIE An honor graduate and one of our most active class members, Betty says that her ambition is to buy a farm in New Hampshire and sleep until ten o’clock every morning. We know that Betty will never lack friends. JEAN STAPLES Yes, this is Stapes — a senior whom we all know and like a lot. Jean plans to go to college next fall while waiting for her O.A.O. to return. With her musical ability and pleasing per- sonality, Stapes will achieve suc- cess, we all agree. Page 24 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL
