Bernard Arthur Fossa I can master awkward things. This witty gum-chewing young man, with his mop of uncombed hirsute adornment, is a great favorite with the ferns, or so he thinks. We understand that Bernie is cultivating his voice for the job of train announcer when he grows up.

Gene is one of the most unobstrusive boys in our class. His chief interests can be found in the great out-of-doors. If you are looking for Gene anytime during the hunting season, you will probably discover him in the woods. Franklin Bela Gage Silence has many virtues. Frankie is a quiet bashful boy. He hardly ever speaks to the boys, and actually shies away from the girls. He works at the family gas station after school and is also the family chauffeur. Albert Edgar Gendron In the lexicon of youth, there is no such word as fail. Bert has been the most dynamic cheer leader a class could have, and we're all proud of him.

Betty's time after school is spent taking care of her younger sister. Elizabeth Jeanne Farrell 'Tis wise to learn. Betty is one of our talented students who show considerable ability in leading the Girl Scouts through their holiday drills. Betty is also a charter member of the Night Hawks.

Mim, as she is called by her friends, is a rather quiet little girl except for her shrill laugh. She likes all sports; skating and sliding are her specialties. When she is not doing this, she can be seen riding around in a green Pontiac. Page 23

He is a lover of sports, and when asked what sports he is interested in, he begins with boxing and ends with ping- pong. He is noted for his exceedingly dark eyebrows, which add to his appearance of strength. French Club 3, Latin Club 4. Turo Lauri Hallfors The glory of a firm capacious mind.

History Club 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Open Meet- ing 4. Alfred William Harrison He is a little chimney and heated hot in a moment. Al is classified as being cute because of his curly hair, blue eyes, and freckles. Who knows, maybe he'll become a great man some day, not only for his looks, but also for his dancing ability. If you want some points on the Big Apple or the Shag, call Har- rison, 1114-M. Ray Francis Haskell He that is friend to himself, is friend to all. Ray is the athletic type. Basketball and track draw him in their respective seasons. He enjoys fishing, and his quiet manner should be conducive to good catches. His spare time finds him behind the counter in the A. and P. Ray has a way of handling fussy old ladies. Dorothy Eileen Foley A prodigy of learning. Dorothy can be seen any school day walking through the corridors before 8:10 with an armful of important looking books. She has a preoccupied look, and the phrase excuse me is constantly on her lips. This senior is a wizard at typewriting. Councillor 3, Dramatic Club 4. Gladys Eloise Forest Maiden with the meek brown eyes. Gladys' school interests seem to lean towards the athletic. She has been active in basketball, field hockey, and volleyball, and has been equally skillful in all of them. Her pleasing personality has made her well liked by all the pupils.
