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

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

ETHEL STREETER Skeeis” was chosen as the most dignified member of the class, but do not come to the conclusit)n that this dignity was cold auster- ity for you could not find a warmer friend than Ethel. She would like to turn her hobby, photography, into a vocation. JOSEPH SULLIVAN This young man’s immediate future will be spent in Navy blue. Joe enjoys many sports and hob- bies, but he says that he doesn’t like girls of any description. Joe always did justice to the lunch period. PATRICdA SULLIVAN Thoroughness and efficiency are Pat’s” outstanding recom- mendations and what could be better c]ualifications for a nurse? We are sure that Pat has not only the abilit)’ but the temperament for her chosen work. ROSE TAGEIONE Perhaps we are revealing a secret, but Rose says that her plans for next year include mar- riage. However, she neglected to mention the lucky man’s name. Perhaps she will still have time to visit her favorite movies. JCHEPH VENTRESCO We’ll always remember Joe’s good natured smile and his ability to hold his own in the line on that undefeated and unscoretl upon football team. Joe’s chief interests are chemistry and avia- tion, which he may follow m the Army. SUSAN VISCARIELLO Sewing has long been a hobby with Sue, but now she intends to use it in her chosen work. Busy, though she may be. Sue says that she will still find time to carry on her roller-skating. ARTHUR WALKER Here is another young man who answered the call of Uncle Sam for whom he worked at the Dedham Post Office before enter- ing the service. Arthur will make the grade in whatever field he enters after the war. CHARLES WARD We will all remember Mont- gomery’s” cheery Hi Kid” and know that he will make good in the Navy next year. After the war his ambition to own his own cabinet making business in New Elampshire will be realized. ALICE WHITE Oh, what a life,” is ' Tally’s” favorite expression, and possibly that is what envious persons wdl say of her secretarial position. We know that Alice will be a suc- cess in the business world. Mr. Ryan and Tomm)’ Dorsey are her favorites. TI lOMAS WHITTEN Tommy intends to continue on his present job. Automobiles wdl play an important part in his life, both in work and pleasure. Tommy has always been a de- pendable supporter of all class •ictivities anti will become one of our substantial citizens. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 25
