SHIRLEY BABLONKA Shirley was a very quiet per- son but when called upon to re- cite in English, her oral topics always amazed us. We under- stand that Ronnie helps to keep Shirley company after school hours! Iudging from the ring on her left hand we see she is look- ing ahead into the future. ROBERT BAYLISS A newcomer in Ianuary, Bob was a quiet Massachusetts man. We admired his loyalty, but would have liked it better if he had taken the W off his sweat- er. Although Bob was quite re- served, his orange shirt and blue sweater added color to our class. FRANCES BACEWICZ Franny is a girl who looks so solemn but is really loads of fun. If you can't take some kidding. steer clear from Franny, for she's one girl who can keep you guess- ing. We hear Frannie has one favorite dancing partner. Who is he? We'd like to know. EVELYN BALKUS What would the Social Club do without Evelyn, and what would Evelyn do without the club? She is one of its most loyal members and supporters. All of her inter- ests aren't confined to school, how- ever. Evelyn is a whiz at math. We're sure she'll be an excellent bookkeeper. IANICE BARKER Here is a girl who has a pet hobby, giggling. She must surely get a kick out of life. Ianice cer- atinly can tickle the piano keys. but it's some job to get it out of her. We hope you will always get a kick out of life, Ianice. ' wimrnsn nsutuezn Winnie could always be de- pended upon to relieve an un- comfortable situation with one of her famous witticisms. She was a whiz at making ambiguous re- marks, which most of us took the wrong way-supposedly. She was definitely one of our most in- nocent? We admired her scholar- ship, leadership. and interest in school affairs. ELSIE BELELLI Elsie is a real friend if you really give her a chance to be. Elsie's especially known for being a good sport. She loves good times, skating, bowling and a hun- dred other things. P. S. Did you ever notice that Elsie takes a real interest in her hair styles? DORA BENIAMIN Being captain of the girls' bask- etball team and a member of the Leader's Club made Edie more than proud Her motto is, Any- thing once. That is one of the reasons why Edie is a grand sport and a delightful companion. Where do you get all that sun- shine and good cheer, Edie? FRANCES BARTLETT Franny came to E. H. H. S. in her junior year, but we've all gotten to know and like her very well. Being an enthusiastic advo- cate of sports, Franny was partic- ularly fond of ping pong and ten- nis. She was always willing to help and could very often be found selling cokes at the sport dances. DORIS BENTLEY Vivacious was the word for Doris. She always seemed to be bubbling over with enthusiasm and a love for life. Don't be sur- prised if you see her name in headlines some day for Doris is a gifted pianist. Another of our sports enthusiasts, Doris had a particular interest in track.

-ng If f l IQ, it LORRAINE ABBOTT Last-minute Lorraine is a very active member of our class, with a wide variety of interests. Her laughing, brown eyes won every- one's heart. Chic clothes, a gay, festive spirit and a radiant smile -all are Abby's. We hope our Abby meets a man who can speak the op language. ARTHUR ANDERSON Art is one ol the more studious members ol our class. Unlike most of us unlortunates, he has achieved that coveted honor ol holding an amateur radio opera- tor's license. Art was a loyal supporter ol cutting up and his spontaneous laughter often pre- ceded one ot his frequent jokes. MARY ABBOTT Perhaps you don't know that Mary is a whiz on skates, but l'm afraid Connecticut will be de- prived ot Mary's talent, tor she is slowly but surely becoming de- voted to Poughkeepsie, N. Y. It's absolutely amazing how Mary can pronounce the words of the English language through such a teeny. weeny mouth! PHYLLIS ADAMS Phyllis enjoys good hard work. but when her work is finished she likes to spend her time with very special company. She al- ways takes her time in every thing she does, but cheer-up, Phyl, there's an old proverb that says. Slow and easy wins the race. IOSEPHINE ALEKN A Io always did her work with a stout heart and a resolute will. Her ability to type so well and still keep her long fingemails al- ways made the other girls en- vious. Iosephine was an excel- lent student and worked hard. Yet, she stuck to the adage, All work and no play make Io a dull -'V-It ELIZABETH ANNELLI Whenever there is anything which needs to be done particu- larly well we call on Betty. And her willingness to work has made Betty very popular in school activ- ities. To add to all this, she has a sparkling sense ot humor and a sincere interest in others, which account tor her many triends. STEPHEN APOLZER Steve is that lanky, likable fel- low with the excellent ear for mountain music and the latest witty remarks. Yes, Sir! He cer- tainly is a friend because you can always depend on him to lend gaiety to every gathering. Steve is a big tellow with big ideas tor his future. WINIFRED AUBIN Winnie did not shine at speech, but at knowledge. Winnie is a small girl but she accomplishes great things. She either has a kind word for everyone, or she says nothing at all. A certain amount ot that certain something must have been hers tor she was never lacking friends. DOROTHY AMIOT Coolness and lack of haste, per- haps a certain cautiousness, de- scribe Dot. More power to you Dotty. Dot's sparkling smile re- minded one of an Ipana tooth paste ad. She never had much to say, but when she smiled we all knew that all her ways were ways of pleasantness. 5' ' jiwgggzs- X K A . W K , - SHIRLEY AUSTIN Have you ever been in a his- tvry class when Shirley recites? Well, she's one girl who knows not only what goes on in this modem era, but also, what hap- pened back in the days oi the knights. Shirley is one of our leading displayers ot fashion and tad gadgets.

Lois has a fondness for dumb animals. At school. Lois was vice-president of the Leaders Club. Outside school she was treasurer of the knitting club that we have heard so much about. ANNE BERRY Ky' Although Anne was with us only two years, she certainly stepped right out into the lime- light. One of our prominent news- paper women. she was always dashing around for interviews. She had a soothing voice, a bub- bling sense oi humor and a devil- ish twinkle in her eye. MARIORIE BEVERIDGE Are you looking for the perfect secretary? Margie is just the per- son. She is Iohnny on the spot and abounding in initiative. Hon- or grades were mere routine to her. Margie was an asset any- where and was always busy, yet ready to help. Call on her to solve your problems! We will always remember Dolores as she strutted down the corridor with a pal on either side. fThe pals being her ever loyal. Dot and Evelynl. Although Dolores was quiet in her classes she made up for that in between periods and after school. She is another gal from Maine.

Her willingness to help others dur- ing their difiicult times won many admirable friends for her. Keep that useful energy, Olga. GLENN BIDWELL If Henry Ford wants to con- tinue selling cars he had better make a deal with Glenn to stop him from repairing those horse- less carriages manufactured in 1902. Glenn believes in learning the automobile business from the ground up. It looks as though he is on the right track. Toot toot! LOUIS BOLDI When one thinks of music. he thinks of Louis and his sax. Few of us will ever forget Louis's ren- dition of In the Mood during the lulls of orchestra rehearsals. Louis really takes music seriously and we wouldn't be surprised if some- day he becomes one of the top band leaders of the country.
