WALTER DERECK The old proverb, Still water runs deep. certainly applies to Walt. He is a very good listener and always preferred listening to talking, unless he had something worth while to say. Walt's favor- ite past time is duck hunting in the deep meadows, but we won- der just how much roast duck Walt has had. DONALD DOTY There just aren't enough words to do Don justice. Typical Ameri- can student-handsome. ambiti- ous, and fun-loving, that's Don. Trite as it may be, Don's blue eyes simply sparkled with devil- try. If he were a Mormon, he surely wouldn't lack a harem. The lucky girls! Seriously, his long strides will carry him far. RENA DICKEHSON V' Good company is welcome everywhere! Renie is liked by everyone and we always liked to see her joining one of the chatty groups in the corridor before 8:30. Her long bob, rosy cheeks, and chubby face gave her that longed for school-girl look . What made the sophomore boys' hearts jump. Renie? Bonsai' DONNELLI tj Although Bob's nicknames changed as frequently as the weather. we'll all remember him as R. D., Comrade X, and the Great Lover. We knew better than to argue with him about football or basketball, for Bob knew his onions when it came to these subjects. ARLENE DONOFRIO Dates, dates and more dates are the words that run constantly through Arlene's mind, and we don't mean the kind that grow in the desert. When we hear that familiar phrase, What has she got that we haven't got? , and the answer is still dates. Who is the latest heart-throb, Arlene? :H gg : 's. fi.'-1: . .., .. gs... x ttitt l s 1 q vs. 'tt -4- ts A sr J K Hs QM tggifll X. ,ts DOROTHY DOUGHTY Dorothy is another blonde mem- ber of the famous trio-Dorothy, Evelyn, and Dolores. She is a gay, happy-go-lucky girl with blue eyes that reflect the mischief in her soul. Oh, but her mischief is quite harmless, we assure you. Seriously though, Dot is a very welcome member of our class. FRANCIS DOUGHTY Is that a machine gun firing, or are we hearing things again? No. it can't be a machine gun but look! It's Doughty, the master of the typewriter, and we don't mean a fireann. Oh say, have you heard him play the organ? That is, the mouth organ. ANDREW DOWDEN And there was with us a typist, Dowden by name, as Chaucer might have put it. Andie and a basketball spell a queer combin- ation. This lad could shoot the weirdest shots! We hear you'll never be a soldier, Andy. The story tells strange tales of your marching in gym. J, GERALDINE DONOVAN Gerry was a girl of few words. She has a glimmer in her eyes, a shy smile, but very seldom does she speak. We never hear Gerry say a word of criticism about anyone or utter a complaint about anything. Gerry deserves the best in life because she is one of the best. MARGARET DROWN Happy am I, from care I am free . Peg's the girl with flashing eyes and ability to roll them! She never lets studies interfere with her social life. Because of her liveliness and friendliness, she was well liked by all. Peg is al- was busy evenings with . . . you know who.

take S ANNABELLE COCKBURN A combination of sophistica- tion, charm and sincerity marks Nan as an individualist. She has that certain air that makes all notice, and that lovely blonde hair just tops things otf. Taking an active part in various school activities, Nan was par- ticularly recognized ior her excel- lent character roles in the Mas- quers' plays. WILLIAM CONWAY Boot Conway was that long, lean and lanky boy who always wore those flashy sport coats. His deep. booming voice distinguished him. and we predict a brilliant future as an announcer for him. William spent most of his leisure time wearing out long, white aprons for the First National. IOHN COLAVECCHIO Did we hear someone say they wanted a secretary? Well. Iohn is the person. He is the only man in the senior shorthand and office practice classes-but he isn't spoiled. The S. A. A. fund was added and readded by Iohn. but with Iohn doing the adding. the sums almost invariable came out right. IOHN COLLINS Oh he's a jolly good fellow. Who is? Iohn Never-a-dull-mo- ment Collins. Even if Iohn's jokes originated in the state of Iowa tin case you don't know they raise corn out there-real coml. the Collins' style of presentation always produced a laugh. DORIS COOK Strike! Doris does it again. Her favorite pastime is bowling. We'll bet she can give Pop Anderson some pretty stitf competition. Doris does roll a mean ball. Don't let that quiet smile and shy manner mislead you. Beneath it all. hu- mor and wit are ready to spring at you. CATHERINE CURRAN Catherine is one of our good students. Her sweet smile, shiny hair and pleasant appearance is always like sunshine on a rainy day. Catherine has a nice per- sonality and is well liked by everyone. Many a good time was spent in Catherine's company. We wish her the best of luck. GLADYS CURTIN Here is a girl who really has red hair, plus the freckles that are supposed to accompany it. We don't know about the temper. Gladys is a real friend. She is always dependable. Her merry smile, sparkling eyes and humor- ous remarks are enough to glad- den any heart. That's Gladys. CAROLINE DAGON Caroline was definitely a very jolly classmate. She explained to many of us that her curls were done the homemade way. We hope that she will give lessons to those interested. We think of Caroline as the girl who liked good times. but she could buckle down to work, too. HAZEL COOPER One of our shy girls is Hazel. Although she said little in class, her test papers were usually marked A . Hazel is in love- with her white pooch which she is often seen walking with. We are sure she will become a very successful nurse. DONALD DEITCH Looking lor the life of the party?-QHere he isll Don was most certainly the acme of devil- try, lun. and mischief. We have yet to see him without a bright twinkle in his eyes and a humor- ous quirk to his mouth, but we sincerely hope he will always re- main-just Don.

CHARLES DUBIEL No doubt you have seen Char- lie playing at the basketball games, and you probably know him well. He worked diligently when a freshman until he made the first team. Although basket- ball was his favorite sport, he sel- dom missed a football game. ELIZABETH EVANS Betty's shining hair, darting eyes. and high heels attracted many glances. She was a firm believer in the statement, Live and let live. She was nonchal- ance itself. Her pet pastimes were chewing gum and talking over a coke with friend Peggy. What's this we hear about a boyfriend in every port, Betty? NORMAN DUMAS Don't be down-hearted, girls. We all know how much you are going to miss your handsome boy- friend, Norm, but remember, you still have his picture to bring back fond memories. All kidding aside, Norm is no ladies' man. His boyfriends more than equal his girlfriends in number. BARBARA ECKER Sincerity, determination, and dependability-all these are Bar- bara's. One of our most active and most popular class members, Bobbie had an unusual abund- ance of enthusiasm. Because she was one of those rare people who always expressed her honest opinions, we liked her all the more. DONALD ELLIOTT What a man! Pop kept many of the feminine hearts aflutter, but alas. he has eyes for Doris only. An all-around good sport and an excellent fun-maker-that was Pop. He could always keep the teachers guessing with his quick comebacks. We know Pop will succeed! LEONARD FERRARI Now. wait a minute, give us a chance. We know that you know all about him. Yes, you also know all about his 100 yard run for a touchdown. but do you know that he was responsible for a great number of touchdowns through his blocking ability? He was equally skilled in basketball. ROSALEEN FITZGERALD Fitzie is our little Irishman. Her jolly ways and devil-may-care actions kept us in high spirits all of the time. Attention!!! all Irish- men4Fitzie always shows parti- ality to Irish boyfriends, and from the latest reports she has one hooked now. Fitz could always keep the party going with her sweet voice. CLAYTON FOLEY This potential ladies' man could be found most anywhere about the school sporting a bow tie that undoubtedly had a snap- py comeback. Clayton's favorite subject was physics. Many were the times that Clayton sat poring over his physics book deep in thought. Perhaps some day he may become a great scientist. THELMA ERICSON Tully is noted for her ever-relia- ble personality and charm. Did you ever see her smile? That smile seems to always sparkle at you whenever you meet her. Night or day, Tully is willing to help her friends in need, and she is always ready to make new ac- quaintances. GERVAISE FOURNIER Whenever thinking of Gervaise we always remember her expert leadership in some of the girls' gym classes. Full of pep, a jolly pal to have around, and a good listener-that's Gervaise. Her appearance, especially her large, sunny smile, is always refreshing and her company is welcomed everywhere.
