East Haven’s ever cheerful cherub! Did anyone ever see him otherwise? Fred is noted for his voluminous smile, his fast driving, and his “way” with the women (teachers not excluded). He aspires to be an actor, and with his excellent speaking and singing voice, he is likely to succeed. MURIEL COOK “Cookie Nicer are none than she. Hodge Podge Club (1), Bowling Team (21, Public Speaking Club (3), Dramatic Club (4), Chorus (41. Muriel’s sweet disposition, pleasing personality, and winning smile have made us happy to know her. We rarely get a classmate such as she. Quiet and serious. Muriel, nevertheless, is a companionable person. With her many virtues, she is bound to succeed in her chosen work hairdressing. You have our good wishes, “Cookie.” ROBERT LLOYD COPPERTHITE “Cop” (iood-hcarted and agreeable to all. Chemistry Club, Secretary (11, Track (3) (4), Baseball (41, Traffic Squad (41. It was not until his Senior year that “Cop” really began to pay attention to the women; and before we realized it. he had become quite a social butterfly —if you can imagine a butterfly well over one hundred and fifty pounds in weight. Possibly his duties as a member of the traffic squad are responsible— for the inclination, not for the weight! “Cop’s” hobbies include hunting, fishing, and art—particularly the latter, since he hopes some day to be an artist. Good luck, “Cop”! IUSTIN GOODWILL CORNELL “Crumbs” Care’s an enemy to life.” Baseball (1), Traffic Squad (41. Justin was born in Hartford, December 31, 1918, and his hobbies from that time to this have been eating and sleeping.

WILLIAM RAYMOND COWLES “Bur A lion with the ladies. Orchestra (1), Hi-Y (li. Fencing (2), Comet, Advertising Manager (4), Prom Committee (4). “Bill” is a fast man on the dance floor and the accelerator—particularly when he is accompanied by a member of the fair sex.

That bit of Irish one sees in her eyes might explain I he reason the reason why she is such an expert columnist as well. “Pal’s hobbies are reading and drawing, this Iasi quite filling as a step toward her ambition to become an interior decorator. Top o' the morning, “Pat ! CLAYTON EDWARD CASSIDY “Hop-a-long ” “Kiki “Good nature and good sense must ever join.” Traffic Squad (2) 13), King and Pin Committee (4), Glee Club (4), Head Cheer Leader (4), Bowling Club (41, Chorus (4). Cassidy got his name from the picture, “Hop-a-long Cassidy — although we are unable to see a resemblance in anything but the name. He is good natured and never worries. Undisturbed, unruffled, and content, he goes his way without making any “bones” about it. His hobby is hiking and his ambition, to travel around the world. We hope he doesn’t intend to walk it! JOAN ELIZABETH CASSIDY “She’s not merry, loud, or gay. But enjoys life in a sweet, quiet way.” Bowling (2), Glee Club (1) (4), Chorus (4l. Joan can be most aptly described as “sweet —sweet to look upon and no less sweet to know. She has a sweet voice, too, which makes her much in demand where musical activities are concerned. Despite her quiet ways, Joan is also a sports fan. her favorites being swimming and bowling. If she achieves her ambition, she’ll be not just another secretary but “the secretary.

With her smiling face and precious good nature, we’re sure she’ll make things pleasant for her patients. Singing, dancing, and ice skating are her hobbies, but judging from the way she used to go at that typewriter during club period, we’d say that typing should be included in that list as well. Success, “Chappy ! WILBUR EDMUND CLARK “Bud J “Handsome is as handsome docs.” Class President 1), Traffic Scpiad 1 2t (3) 4), Classbook Committee, Chairman (4), Pioneer, Editorial Board (4). “Bud. who, by the way, is one of the more “sought after” lads in school, isn’t a bit conceited about his popularity. He is proud of the fact, though, that he had his first baby carriage ride on the day the Armistice was signed a real patriot, don’t you think? As far as hobbies are concerned, swimming, boxing, and rowing meet his fancy. N.Y.ll. is his destination after graduation. Good luck, “Bud ! Cl 6]

MARIAN BRIGHTWELL CUNNINGHAM “Blondie” “She's a quiet lass -sometimes. Chorus (2t (41, Glee Club 41. In spite of Marian's efforts to master ping pong, swimming still holds the distinction of heading her list of favorite athletic activities. As far as ability in other lines is concerned, we'd say that it is in singing that she's the “tops.

Her list of activities proves, however, that she could never be called a “grind.” A very versatile person, she is just as capable of winning a swimming championship as she is of obtaining the highest mark in a test or writing the best editorial for the school paper. She plans to continue her work at college— and we know she’ll reach the very highest grade! LOUISE ELIZABETH DIDOW “Low” “Charms strike the sight. ami merit wins the soul.
