FARMINGTON STUDENT RICHARD NEWELL NICKNAME: i'Dick . POSITIONS HELD: Glee Club l, 2, 3: Secretary of Cvlee Club 2: Baseball 2: Prom Committee 3. QLIOTATION: HA refreshing youth to say the least. COMMENT: Much to our disappointment and regret we've been deprived of Dicks company pretty much during the past few years, due to illness on his part. In spite of this his expert dancing and friendly manner have made an imprint on the class's roster so that he is even now considered among the members of '32. CATHERINE THERESA ONIDI NICKNAME: Kitty , Kay . POSITIONS HELD: Glee Club l, 2, 3, 4: Operetta 2: Iunior Play: Athletic Association 2, 3, 4: Minstrel 3, 4: Dramatic Club 4: Food Sale Committee. QUOTATION: So buxom, blithe, and debonairf' COMMENT: Catherines pleasing personality drew a lot ol trade for Dr. Davies and we know that he'll miss her next year when she goes in for more professional nursing. We know several young men who won't mind having a broken neck if they can only have Catherine to take care of them, By the way, you'd better watch out for those internes, Kitty . SOPHIE Lois OSTROSKE NICKNAME: Lo , Zoska . POSITIONS HELD: Basketball l, 2, 4: Glee Club l. QUOTATION: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. COMMENT: Sophie would be quite a basketball player it she dicln't spend so much time at Frat dances and talking about the night before. In spite of this she has made quite a name for herself on the team and has done much to make it victorious. BERTRAM IAMES PELTIER NICIKNAMEI Bert , POSITIONS HELD: Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Baseball l, 2, 3, 4: Orchestra l, 2: Basketball l, 2: Class Editor 4: Senior Play: Operetta 2. QLIOTATION: Ohiyou make me ill. COMMENT: ln Bert we have a combination of the frivol- ous and the serious-minded: a sort of Dr. Iekyll and Mr. Hyde personality, as it were. Perhaps he has learned the art of playing a two-fold part in life from his frequent attendance at the cinema in Unionville. At any rate, i'Bert , we shouldn't wonder if your adeptness at putting out lights would come in handy some day. ill 32

QLIOTATION: She that was ever fair, and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet, was never loud. COMMENT: Rumor has it that Torrington and one, Tony, are the principal factors in Glens life at present. IA coinci- dental alliteration, eh?l Her extraordinary good humor of late and the dreamy look that envelops her countenance at times makes us feel that there's a nigger in the woodpilen some- where. NICKNAME: Dot , DOROTHY NAWROCKI POSITIONS HELD: Glee Club 4, Minstrel 4, Athletic Asso- ciation 2, 3: Decoration Committee 4: Iunior Basketball Team I: lunior Prom Committee. QUOTATIONf- Her heart is true as steel, COMMENT: Dot is one of our many students who are artistically inclined. You seldom see her when she hasn't a sketch of some movie star tucked inside her books. As a painter she's quite an expert. She and Ann form a joy- spreadinq team which in respect to size strongly resembles Mutt and Ieff. EDWARD NELSON NICKNAME: Eddie , Square . POSITIONS HELD: Glee Club l, 2, 3: Operetta 2: Play Committee 4: Ioke Editor Zz Assistant Editor 4. QUOTATION: Fair-haired, azure-eyed, with delicate Saxon complexion.

Ask Alma Baily, Catherine Onidi, Edith Anderson and Sophie Ostroske how utterly romantic but fickle he can be. 31

QUOTATION: Her mirth the world requires. COMMENT: The name Milly is synonymous with the word giggles and we often wonder why that nickname never happened to be applied to her.
