Basketball (1) (2), Spanish Club (1), Field Hockey (21, Baseball (3l, Dramatic Club (4), Homeroom Secretary 41, Pioneer, Art Editor. “Chris” keeps fit by being active not only in sports but in dancing as well; and from observing her dancing at our school socials, we don’t wonder at her spending so many of her summer evenings at the Mansfield ballroom. Her ambition is to be a hairdresser, and from what we have seen, she certainly will be able to accomplish it! ELEANOR MARGARET FLYNN “EC' “Oh, what a blessing to say what you mean! Chorus (1) (3), Basketball (2) (3), Dancing Club (3) (4), Paddle Tennis Team (3) (4). Eleanor exemplifies an ideal classmate—a good student, a cheerful, willing helper, and a participator in many activities. As a student in the town of Waterford, she won the John C. Geary prize for proficiency in arithmetic. We shall remember her here for her extensive vocabulary utilized by her to make just the right remarks at the right time. Carry on, “El”!

Ralph has distinguished himself for his clever thinking, his profound reasoning, and his remarkable business sense. Many a time we have marveled at the ease with which he saw through the most involved problems particularly those arising at senior class meetings. Ralph wants to be a business manager, and such an industrious worker as he will surely manage successfully any project he undertakes.

Sports Editor (41, Dramatic Club (41, Traffic Squad (4), Flower Committee 4i. “Mike” is a so-called “sports fiend.” This year he has attained the very important position of manager of the Varsity basketball team, and he has fulfilled his duties faithfully and well. It is said that “Mike” used to be very bashful, but he is overcoming that characteristic slowly and surely. He aims to be a sports writer for a reliable newspaper—and judging from his work on the Comet, we think he’ll accomplish that aim. £ 20 D

Ask her to imitate Patsy Kelly for you, or any other actress, for that matter. Very good, “Georgie,” but you’ll have to control yourself if you intend to teach youngsters, or you’ll be teaching them to cut capers. Best of luck to a clever girl! JOHN HOGAN “Shanty” “Why should I l c ruled by custom? Rules were only made for those too weak to break them.” Swimming Team (1) (2) (3) (4). Although “Shanty” is small, he is full of pep. Since he hails from the shore, it is only natural that he enjoys sailing and swimming (in both of which sports he excels), with billiards and hockey thrown in for good measure. He wants to become an officer on an ocean liner—and he'll be right at home there! MARIE E. HOGAN To those who know thee not, no words can paint; And those who know thee, know all words are faint.

Marie is sweet, irresistible, and irrepressible. Her pleasant smile and her congenial ways have helped to make her very popular. She has the happy faculty of giggling at the weakest jokes, and she has a subtle sense of humor herself. Marie possesses just the right amount of friendliness, courtesy, and frankness. In ability she ranks high. We know she’s going to make a fine teacher. FRED LEE HOLMES, JR. “Holmsie” “Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air, and to eat and sleep with the earth.” Nature Club (1). Fish and Game Club (4). Although “Holmsie” aspires to be a draftsman, his hobbies show signs of his appearing in some of our future sportsmen’s shows. He gets most of his fun out of hunting, tramping, fishing, and camping. Lee has distinguished himself as being absent more than anyone else in his homeroom—pursuing his hobbies? You deserve the best, Lee!
