Through her unique ideas and artistic work, she has become one of the most outstanding members of the class of '5l. As Art Editor of the Periauger, her pictorial class history helped add in- dividuality to the yearbook. A prominent member of the Art Club, she designed the backdrop for the Mikado and was the representative for the Activities Council. Her other activ- ities are: Mixed Chorus, Library Club, and Career Club. Al- though you might not guess it from gym class, Dorothy en- joys tennis and horseback riding and works hard for perfec- tion in these sports. She presents a smart appearance which is heightened by her graceful stature and poise. After careful research, Dorothy decided to apply to some of the top-ranking women's colleges in the East. EVELYN JEANNE BELARGE 'Twas her thinking of when that made you think of her Sincere and understanding, Evelyn is a loyal friend. Her pleasant and helpful manner makes her easy to work with. As an editor of the Periauger, she spent many hours in the business office typing copy, and was one of the most willing members of the staff. Evelyn has been a long-standing mem- ber of the Chorus and has taken part in all the musical pre- sentations. Again her abilities and cooperativeness made her an integral part of the organization. Eve takes an important part in the work of the F.B.L.A. and can usually be found typing. She has also been its representative on the Activities Council. Evelyn's ambition is to be a private secretary, and her experience in oliice work will prove valuable to her. Page twelve .

JEROME EDWARD BIRNEY Mirchief, thou aft afoot Peewee is always up to some deviltry, but the glint in his blue Irish eyes gives him away.His refreshing and invigorating personality adds a witty atmosphere to classes. His daring exploits on the catwalks made him indispensable to the stage crew. He starred not only behind the scenes but also before the footlights. In such roles as Tiny Tim and the Indian in Custer's Last Stand he won everyones applause. Supplementing his school activities, Peewee is an intrepid aviator and a mechanic of considerable merit. Besides working at the sea- plane base for several years he has managed to keep his car in running order. A homeroom athlete, Peewee has scored many points with the blackboard erasers. In spite of his impishness, his grand sense of humor and friendly nature have made him everybody's pal. Wherever you meet Dom, he greets you with his winning smile and friendly hello. Although he is not with us at pres- ent, we shall always remember his faithful participation in our class activities. Dom was a member of the F.B.L.A. during his senior year and was a steady player in the Boys' Inter- class League. Dom's sense of humor makes him a popular member of the Tophatters Club, where he spends much of his spare time. We all had a sample of his wit on the Senior Day trip when he had us rocking the boat with his antics. The first of our class to join the service, Dom showed the same fine spirit that made him a favorite with us all. He had planned to be an automobile mechanic after graduation, but such a person is a success in whatever field he may undertake.

Q ELAINE LOUISE COMEAU Art is powef Elaine, an artist through and through even to her tempera- ment, is unquestionably one of our most talented classmates. Whenever there is a poster to be made, a sign to be lettered, or an illustrating job to be done, she is ready and willing. She gave much of het time and talent to the Art Club and other school activities. The shield which she designed, has been used on several pages of this yearbook. Besides being an accomplished artist, Elaine is a talented singer and actress. She took part in many Dramatic Club productions and was a particularly graceful and vivacious Peep-Bo in The Mikado . Nor are these all her gifts. She is an active equestrienne as well, and has spent many Saturday mornings in the saddle.

As a Sophomore she held the oflice of Class Secretary. She was also a member of the F.B.L.A. and Printer's Ink. We saw little of Dolores this year. During the first semester she worked in the afternoons, and she finished school in January after having passed the American History regents. Dolores, in her quiet and ellicient way, will be a success in whatever she undertakes. O taking worker, we know that Elaine will succeed in her ambi- f Q .it .

Preferring to attain athletic prominence, carefree Eight-ball has become a mainstay of the football, basketball and baseball teams. In football he was an end and played well both on the defensive and offensive. He played J.V. and Varsity basketball with his characteristic spirit of team work. In baseball he covered the keystone sack and his heavy bat carried a large share of the championships won. Every morning before school, Bill can be seen sauntering down to the store for his Daily News so he can keep up with the state of the world. Eight-ball has always managed to live up to his nick-name. His sheepish grin makes him appear guilty even when he isn't. After gradu- ation Bill plans to join the Navy. Hailing from Ardsley High in his junior year, Pat became a very welcome member of the class of '5 1. He soon established his reputation in the fields of sports and music. Playing gal- lantly on the football team, he plunged through the line or carried the ball around end for many gains. He fought hard for Dobbs Ferry and was often seen limping or wrapped in bandages-testimonies of his drive and spirit. He has also played basketball and j.V. baseball. Pat's bass voice has con- tributed decidedly to the Mixed Chorus and Double Sextet. As a member of the band he played the baritone with his customary zeal. Our cheerful and conscientious classmate was often seen in school during the noon hour handing out candy and joking with everyone. After graduation Pat plans to attend a liberal arts college and study chemistry. Page fifteen v ,f fi Q if THOMAS LEE ELFTMAN He'll fnd 4 way JANICE DORENE CROFT There is sweet music here Janice was a new addition to our class this year. Her warm- hearted nature and sincerity have made us all like her. Al- though she skipped a year, Janice has found time from her studies to take part in many activities. Her interest in music has been shown all through high school by her participation in the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Octet. She has also performed on the piano in the schools' talent shows. The Dramatic Club was able to use her talents to good advantage in such plays as The Pampered Darling and The Christmas Carol. Her interpretation of Mrs. Skinner in the Senior Play helped make it a success. In college Janice plans to major in journal- ism. Her writing ability and genuine interest in other people will make her a good newspaper woman. Tommys courteous, calm and competent manner could well be imitated by us all. In his unobtrousive, business-like way, he gets things done. D. F.'s stage crew captain is con- stantly tinkering with clocks, radios and inventions in gen- eral-he is a whiz repairman. Tom gets a lot of enjoyment from his leisure pastimes. His room at home is the wonder of all who see it-a showcase of gadgets and collections of all kinds, including exhibits from his array of hobbies. Our blond and blue eyed mechanic is always neat and informally well groomed. Although studious, he is never too absorbed in class- work to ignore activities. Mr, Fix-It has been especially active in his Junior and Senior years, participating in the Chorus, Projection Club, Photography Club, Blu-White News and the Periauger. Tom's favorite subject is science. He wants to continue his studies at Cornell, aiming at a future in Con- servation. n Page sixteen THOMAS EDWARD FAY The man who hlurher is not quite brute Tom, our popular class president, was an industrious, co- LEON BARRY ETTUS I have nothing to declare except my genius Leon's sense of humor is unique, he always keeps you laughing with him. How many times have our classes been livened up by his colorful comments? His carefree style flavors everything he does. On the athletic side, Leon has been a tennis team stand-by for three years and an Interclass Basket- ball steady for four. Aside from his athletic achievements, he has been one of the school paper's chief sports reporters, ac- curately giving a play by play description of all our games. He has also been a member of the Spanish Club and the Periauger staff. In his spare time, Leon, relaxing with a mystery story, plays amateur detective. Lee's plans for the future include college and a career as a crusading journalist. operative worker all through high school. His outstanding leadership made our senior year our best. He also served faithfully on the Student Council as a Junior and Senior. Better known as Bucky, he was not only a leader in class activities, but also an outstanding athlete. In his freshman year he was the only member of the class to make the varsity football team. As a Senior, he played in the line as fighting tackle. When the football season was over he doffed his heavy football togs for the lighter basketball uniform and continued his defensive role as guard on the basketball team. In the spring, the scene of his activities was the diamond where he was a hard-hitting first baseman. Bucky is everybody's friend and possesses a good sense of humor. He is noted for his neatness and courtesy and will be a popular leader in what- ever field of endeavor he chooses. Page seventeen ROSALIND JOSEPHINE GOLIO JOHN MICHAEL FINNERTY Man if a political animal john's broad experience in government and social work makes him exceptional among people his age. He has travelled widely in Europe for the United Nations and was chairman of the Speaker's Board in UNICEF. Interested in public speak- ing, he has talked to many groups about his experiences. Honest john has served as mayor of Children's Village for three terms - a tribute to his executive ability. He came to Dobbs Ferry High in his Sophomore year and soon became known for his steady and dependable work. This year he has served as Treasurer of the Senior class. In his rare moments of leisure john likes to pursue his hobby of collecting stamps, rare coins and old documents. The future holds a law degree for His Honor the Mayor and the years to come have many new attainments in store for him. On with the dance, let joy be unconhned Roz's shining dark hair and chic clothes add to her attrac- tive appearance. To her best friends she discloses a wonderful sense of humor with her witty remarks. Her sympathetic nature makes her a willing listener to other people's troubles. In school Roz was active in the F.B.L.A., Chorus and the school paper. She was Mr. Lindsey's pride and joy spending her free periods helping out in the office. In January Roz made the last hurdle and passed the American History Re- gents, but she came back to graduate with us in june. After a hard day's work in that darn sewing factory, Roz relaxed with her favorite hobby-dancing. With her sparkling person- ality and interest in other people, she will undoubtedly make a success of her life. s Page eighteen ? AUDREY MARGARET GRAY Her heart ir ar .runny ar ber hair Audrey's red hair is mute testimony to her impulsive nature and her flashes of temper which are usually directed at her- self. Many a time her booksor shoes have been hurled with fury. However, with her determination and abilities she has accomplished many things including swimming and sewing. In her thorough and competent way Audrey has done more for the class than any other girl. She headed the decoration committee for the junior Prom which was one of our most successful dances. As the Editor-in-Chief of the Periauger she worked hard to make it a reality. Perhaps her hardest job was securing assignments when due. She was also active. in the Career Club, Dramatic Club, Ushers Club, Chorus, Twirlers, Spanish Club, and Girls' Sports. No one is immune to Audrey's contagious laugh. Her good humor and perseverance will make her a success in any undertaking. Her executive and editorial abilities have been clearly demonstrated by her outstanding ie..

Her pleasant personality makes her well- liked. As proof of this, in her junior year we elected her class secretary and treasurer. On the athletic side, Marcy has been a faithful participant in Girls' Sports for many years, enthu- siastically playing whatever sport was in season. She also took part in the work of the school paper, F.B.L.A. and Dramatic Club. Outside of school Marcy works at the Embassy where her friendly Hello has greeted us time and time again. For relaxation, she likes to take long walks and can often be found heading in an easterly direction. Marcella's future as a baby technician will be successful because of her calm and competent manner. . Ann is famed for her wonderful disposition and her cap- tivating smile. Her wide-spread popularity was proved be- yond a doubt when she was unanimously voted -most popular in the class.

An important member of the band for four years, he is a versatile musician and can play almost any instrument. He has also used his musical talents to good ad- vantage in the Mixed Chorus and Double Sextet. On the ath- letic field Norris was characterized by his earnest and whole- hearted drive. He played halfback on the football team and catcher on the baseball team. Well remembered for his Oh Woe part of Marley in the Christmas Carol , Norris was a very active member of the Dramatic Club and had an im- portant part in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay .

He undoubtedly will be remembered for his many and varied talents, his friendly personality and his super-salesmanship. Who can forget his famous crooning or his rendition of 'Dearie which brought down the house at an assembly talent show? Activities were Bill's specialty, and although he was a small businessman in his spare time, he managed to contribute to Chorus, interclass basketball and the Dramatic Club. In his Junior year he became the president of the Spanish Club, and was elected to the Honor Society. As a Senior he was one of the most able and personable Student Council presidents the school has had, as well as a member of the Activities Council and Publicity Editor of the Periauger.

PATSY LAWRENCE IOZZO I-li: bark ir worse than bi: bite Patsy, always bursting forth with a boisterous greeting or a mocking laugh, was the creator of many a homeroom up- roar. Unrestrained and enthusiastic, his comments decidedly enlivened our class meetings. His good nature, however, bowed to fighting determination on the athletic fields, where he starred. A member of the football team for two years, Pat proved himself to be a half-back of considerable merit. In shortstop position he sparked the baseball nine to many victories. His favorite sport, however, was basketball. In his four years on the basketball team, he made a name for him- self with his tireless defensive work, and proved himself to be an all around athlete. Although excitable, Patsy's joking manner has combined with his outspoken but cheerful nature to win the friendship of his fellow students. His ambition is to someday own a bus company. RUTH SHEVLIN JONES ' In qutetnen and confidence shall be your strength Ruthie appears to be quiet but her bursts of enthusiasm reveal her true personality. Her many and varied interests make her an absorbing convetsationalist. After her trips to the Farm she returns with an endless supply of interesting tales which she tells with a flood of words. One of the most helpful and cooperative members of the class, Ruth's willing attitude has been a distinct asset to the many activities in which she has participated. Among these are: Dramatic Club, Chorus, Girls' Sports, Career Club, Twirlers, and Activities Council. She held the office of president of the Ushers Club and secretary of the Honor Society. With patience and per- sistence, Rwth accomplished a great deal and was 'invaluable to the Periauger as Make-up Editor.

As a member of the Dramatic Club, John played the distinguished Ambassador in the United Na- tions Assembly program. He also participated in boys' inter- class and the F.B.L.A. Always working, John could be found delivering papers at an early hour, after school he busied him- self making milkshakes and sundaes behind the soda fountain at Broadway Arms. An avid follower of current events, John will discuss politics at the drop of a hat and can support his views by information gleaned from his daily reading of the news. John's dog was almost as familiar to us as john himself for he was often seen riding in the basket of his master's bike. Page twenty-seven JOAN ALISON PRAY WILLIAM JOHN O'CONNOR I never hurry, neither do I worry Affable, carefree Bill was seen whenever there was some- thing going on around school.

During his Freshman and Sophomore years he was active in interclass basketball and in his junior year was promoted and played on the junior Varsity team. When spring rolled around, Chick could be seen playing the outer pasture for the baseball team, being a par- ticipant during his Sophomore, junior and Senior years.

He excels not only in athletics, but also in classwork. He was elected class president four times-ample proof of his popularity. In the realm of athletics, Charlie stars. He quarter-backed the foot- ball team, was an all-star forward in basketball, and was top man on the tennis team. His performance of Otis Sikinner in the Senior Play revealed hitherto unknown dramatic tal- ents. His versatility was further demonstrated by his election to the Honor Society and his appointment as subscription editor of the Periauger. Although usually quiet and reserved, his flashes of wit and cynical tongue sometimes amazed us. The idol of the underclass girls, on or off the athletic field, he was a hit. Presiding ably over the class, getting honor grades, winning letters in three major sports, and gaining popularity, Charlie has accomplished all that is possible in the school. X. KATHERINE MARY TRUBE The milder! manner: and the genzlert heart Kay, although quiet and reserved, is a hard worker and' a loyal friend. Her efficient but unassuming manner makes her a valuable member of our class. Participating in many activ- ities during her high school years she was always willing to do her share of work. In her junior year she became a mem- ber of the Spanish Club and also joined the staff of the school paper. She represented the Periauger on the Activities Coun- cil in her Senior year and served the yearbook faithfully and well. She was also active in the Career Club, a representative for the Red Cross and an alto in the Mixed Chorus. Kay's ambition is to be a kindergarten teacher, and her patience will undoubtedly be a great asset in her chosen career.

In the realm of ath- letics, he was a stand-out member of the football and baseball teams. In football he was a hard-hitting linesmang in baseball he helped the team slug its way to the championship. As a skater he has brought fame to Dobbs Ferry through the many championships he has won. Having started his skating career at five, Wiggles attained success in speed skating and went on to win, among others, the Middle Atlantic Outdoor Speed Skating Championship, and the Silver Skates Championship in Madison Square Garden. Wiggles plans to be a mechanic and someday own a garage. Rozellas pretty face and vivacious smile immediately put het in the limelight. Another of our three year graduates, Ro has contributed her many artistic talents to our class. The backdrop for the Kick Chorus in the Music Box Revue was designed by her, and her colorful posters have publicized this and other events. She also represented the Art Club on the Activities Council. An editor of the school paper, she was in charge of the Senior write-ups this year and was found rush- ing to meet the deadlines. Ro has been an integral part of the Dramatic Club, prompting and helping behind the scenes, and has participated in the Mixed Chorus and Whistlers. Rozella's future lies in illustrating or fashion designing and her originality and talent should take her far in this field.
