Mindang Peter Brown Prudent,- futuri. Thoiiyhtful of the future. Minda, as he is called for short, plans for the future but acts in the present. In the summer time he can be found somewhere on the Oak Hill Golf Course chasing those fickle little eggs. His favorite sport is skating on the Brown Reservoir, better known to its frequenters as the Mud Hole. This cherished winter resort occupies the larger part of the family's back yard. Happy landings, Mindang! Douglas Homer Buskey Life is but jest; a dream, a doom; a yleam, a gloom. Would it be telling tales to say that Doug was the playboy in the class — and out of the class, also? Perhaps a more serious outlook on life would be somewhat beneficial to him but far be it from us to suggest the idea, for. if it were adopted, there would be no more Doug! Tennis 2, Band 2-3-4. Orchestra 4. George Francis Carney refuse to lose my temper. Serenely and unperturbedly. carrot-topped George makes the above statement and then looks for results. Though appearing to be a hard-boiled truck driver for Chase and Sanborn's Tea and Coffee Warehouse, we know that the hard-boiled angle is all a blufT. This happy-go-lucky youth couldn't get sore if he tried! Football 2. Bruce Lee Carpenter Take the world as it is, not as it ouyht to be. Here comes whistling Bruce Carpenter. Not very active in school affairs, but sh-sh!, you'd never guess what someone told us about him the other day. Despite his apparently level headed coolness, he is quite interested in the fairer sex! But then, to be fair, isn't that a school custom? Tennis 3. Roderick Joseph Casavoy A small coin in a biy jar makes a great noise. If angels don't smoke cigarettes Rod will never be in line to join the heavenly choir. This descendant of the God of Mischief managed to keep his Math, class in a state of perpetual expectancy. Glee Club 2-3, Junior Relay Committee 3, Cheer- leader 3-4. Ruby Louise Chesbrough Have I done my yood deed to-day f Before saying. Now I lay me down to sleep, Ruby asks herself the above question and if she can't give an affirmative answer, she refrains from lying down to sleep. Why? Because she's an ardent mem- ber of the Girl Scouts and conforms to all the rules. Hockey, Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3-4. Lillian ChitofE The glamor of the drama calls her. Like a ray of sun is the delightful laughter of our Lillian, whose ready sympathy and wise counsel can always be depended upon. Pronounced the school's best actress. Lillian has also been awarded honors in the field of diction. Hockey 2, Orchestra, Prize Speaking. Open Meet- ing 2-3-4. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Write-Up Committee, Councillor 4. Class Play 4. Helen Ruth Clace As a mouse is, so am I. When we originally wrote the above we didn't realize what we were letting ourselves in for. The most repeated question has been. Does she really steal cheese as much as that? We innocently meant you to infer from the quotation that Helen was ex- ceptionally quiet! Arlene Evelyn Cleveland Her little tongue is never still. Talk it must and talk it will. Arlene is listed among those of the commercial group who have managed to survive the call-downs in Room 110. difficult though that task may be.. Arlene's mornings are filled with typing for the Con- tinuation School. Hockey 2, Basketball. Volleyball 2-3. Dorothy Louise Cleveland And we're not Siamese t vins! Think what it must be like to have a cousin in the same class in high school with you — one who takes the same courses that you do. has the same teachers that you do. and, to climax the situation, lives in the same house that you do! Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3-4, Write-Up Com- mittee 4.

John Alonzo Bowes Laugh and the ivorld laughs with you. So Johnnie, the big boy of our class, proceeds to set the world laughing. What a splendid soldier he made in the Senior Play at Open Meeting, and did he surprise us at the Major Blow's Program when he de- lighted us with that lovely voice of his! Baseball 2, Basketball 2-3, Football 2-3-4, Track Team 3. Tauno Frederick Braks A-hunting we 'icill go — . First on, first off, first to get a seat on the Gardner bus. If he continues his punctuality, he is sure to suc- ceed. Hunting is his favorite pastime, and Tauno has the hunting grounds in his back yard. Bet the squirrels hate to see him coming! Joseph William Bramante Extry! Extry ! Paper, mister.' The theater crowd knows Joe nearly as well as the early risers. You can always purchase the latest news from him, no matter what the time. Joe is saving his money, too, in order to pay his tuition at college. Bet he doesn't go in the newspaper business, though! Assistant Manager of Basketball and Baseball 3, Manager Baseball Team 4. Samuel John Briguglio A small but mighty man am I. Sammy, or Briggs, as he is best known, is never seen without being heard, for he is always humming, singing, or chattering. Sam has an easy-going, unperturbed manner, and believes nothing is as bad as overstudy. We nominate him leading contender for the title of Class Cut-up. Baseball 2-3, Glee Club 3-4. Dimitre Paul Brown He who gives promptly gives twice. On a bright summer's day, Dimitre, G. B. (Golf Bug), may be found under some one's bag of clubs at a nearby golf link. Between golf and hunting, Mrs. Brown's big boy has very little time for studying how to be president. Well, who wants to be president nowadays, anyway?! Lena Lucy Brunetti A basket, a basket, a basket, girls! Let us introduce to the expectant audience our star woman athlete, a girl whose spirit has kept the class reputation in the sports line on the highest level. We would advise Lena to be more conservative with her lung-power at the football field, for such active exertion is liable to frighten the players. Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball 2-3-4. Grace Evelyn Bryant Life is half spent before we know what it is. Grace is on her way to being a great dressmaker. She even spends her study periods in school finishing up a bit of sewing. Grace is a girl who can make what looks like a $100 wardrobe from the trifling sum of $29.50. Dramatic Club 3. Aili Maria Carlson As good do nothing as to no purpose. The spirit of the new generation is embodied in Aili who, we are frank to admit, is the first girl in this high school to acknowledge an interest in politics. She also does not believe that woman's place is in the home. Debating Club, Dramatic Club 3, Glee Club 4. Florence Mathilda Caron My talents are not all in one direction. Of course it's understood that we just hate to tell tales, but sometimes, you know, discretion is not the better part of valor. Florence actually bakes great birthday cakes for certain members of the faculty and we can guarantee that they are delicious! Hockey 2, Basketball 3. Mary Wilhelmina Cashman They laugh, that win. By careful observation we see that Mary has over- come the cute habit of sucking her thumb while curl- ing a stray lock of unruly hair. How often her quick wit and delightful sense of humor lent gaiety to an otherwise drab occasion! Hockey 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Red and Gray Board, French Club 4.

Peter John Celona Next to faith in God, is faith in work. Peter was not too diligent a worker in school but outside he was frequently to be seen driving a prod- uce truck. As we hear, he hopes to become a suc- cessful business man. He may believe that it's best to gain experience in one's work rather than dabble in the romance languages. Football 2-3. Vincent Paul Celuzza An athlete true in heart, though not in play. No matter how early or how late a practice session of our athletic teams was being held, Vinie was one spectator who was sure to be on the scene. We're ready to bet that he knows as much, if not more, about the football plays than the team itself does. Ernest Andre Charron He'll dance to the end — and beyond! Much interested in dancing, Turk has a morbid desire to linger after the ball is over and sentimentally admire the decorations. His membership in Glee Club plus his good singing voice obtained for him the role of a sailor in H.M.S. Pinafore when we were Juniors. That was some per- formance! Glee Club 3. Samuel John Chicone The longer he lives, the stronger he grows. What was that? Did I he ar you say that you wished to transfer the Rollstone boulder back to its original position? Then we have just the man for you. Sam has more reserve energy per square inch than any other boy in school, and we're even willing to stake money on it! Football 2-3-4. Maurice Fredrick Cleveland He has his particular liabits. Zoom! That was Buster and his Ford just moseying along. You should see him when he's in a hurry! Bus bolsters the line beautifully, is a star guard in football, and hurls hot, whistling pucks in hockey. Many an evening after practice has the clubhouse rung with his hearty laugh. Baseball 2-3-4, Football 3-4. Agnes Young Cunningham Her whisper is a lieavenly tliiiig. There are low voices and high voices, raucous voices and sweet voices, but here is a girl who has scarcely any voice at all! She never speaks except in a barely audible whisper. Stage fright? No. She's just modest, unassuming, and altogether delightful. Lillian Mary Deloge Sensitive, swift to resent, but as swift in atoning for error. Sensitive, yet merry; wise, yet not over anxious for knowledge, is Lillian. She has a mischievous nature and loves a good time. Just think! 'Midst this hectic program she manages to find spare time to work! Alice Yvonne Deslauriers Life's so short, why bother? This daring young damsel seems to have a pet aversion for rules and is tremendously fond of taking a chance. We'd like to remind Alice that the law of gravity has something to do with keeping her two feet under her at the Whalom Skating Rink and we wouldn't advise her to disregard it too completely. Glee Club 4. Mtiry Sophia Dicker III her friendship there is nothing insincere. If we applied the proverb, Si'ence is golden, to all the members of our class who rightly deserved it, just think of the risk we'd run. Why? Because the U. S. is off the gold standard and look at all the gold we'd be coining! Basketball 2. Marie Gertrude Dobeck A traveler, like a good book, is always interesting. Traveling seems to be Marie's hobby for she has spent her vacations doing just that. One summer was spent out West; another, in Canada. Being a West- minsterite, she must even travel to come to school. Don't roam too far, Marie.
