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.

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.

James Bernard Connors I'm a biy man, now. Concerning quiet, dignified Jimmy we have gath- ered some rather startling data. His friends claim that his increased rate of speed is due to the fact that he has now reached the age when cigarettes and girls are the objects of his affections and he finds it necessary to walk a little faster in search of them! Dramatic Club 4. Harold Chamberlain Corkum know when enough's enougli. Harold has learned one of the most valuable les- sons which any of us can ever hope to acquire, and has learned it early in life. He knows how to be witty, to have some fun, but he knows when to stop! We hear he has collected some very interesting curiosities. Football 2-3. Robert Joseph Cote Since all allow that manner makes the man. Here is a rarity for you! But, just a moment. He is not on sale to the highest bidder nor is he to be placed on a marble pedestal in a museum — at least, not yet. Why? Because he is a perfect gentleman and we want him! John Edward Coulter From a single Instance you may infer the whole. John, always a fanatical student, can not under- stand why the school has Ancient Misery on its sub- ject list. He says he doesn't like misery of any kind, and moreover, he gets plenty of it in U. S., so why delve into the dark pages of the past? Elmer Lester Cramer Where's Elmer f Elmer is one of the staunchest supporters of the Flat A. C. and he is also active in the Y. M. C. A. His hobbies depend on the season, or, in other words, skating and basketball in winter, baseball in the spring, though these are not his only interests. Football 2-3-4. Mary Rita Dooley Her laugh is such a contagious thing. If everyone contributed as much to high school as Mary has, not alone by her willing efforts in enter- taining, but also by her personal attitude toward school in general, and toward helping her friends in particular, we would indeed live in Utopia. Volleyball 2, Hockey 2-3, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Basketball 2-4, Field Day Committee 3, Glee Club, Joke Committee 4, Class Play, Prize Speaking 4. Virginia Eleanor Drago Sunsliine and humor all the world over. Our first recollection of this future nurse was as a small, tidy person who, in a kind, gentle voice, was offering her services to one of her classmates when- ever the latter should have need of them. Would not this instance alone indicate that she has one of the pritne requisites for success in her chosen profession? Hockey, Basketball, Glee Club 2. Isabel Armour Draper It is her joy to work and to give to others. In bonny Scotland, Isabel, kind, friendly, and above all else interested in seeing justice done to everyone, has left those traits which we laughingly connect with a Scottish origin. Some one suggested we mention that Isabel can play her father's bag-pipes! Annette Jeanne Duval Never idle a moment, but tlirifty and thoughtful of others. Annette is quite adept at wielding a needle and her accomplishments in the field of sewing excite much complimentary criticism from her student friends. Just to prove to you what an exceptional individual she is, may we say that Annette enjoys church-going. French Club 2. Dorothy Helen Pales Better tlian the average. Dot accomplished this year something that most of us would find difficult, for she won a prize in the contest sponsored by the Convention of Sealers of Weights and Measures. Junior Prom Committee 3, Dramatic Club, Debating Club 3-4, Glee Club 4.
