DONALD WILLIAM DOUGLAS Art is music to the soul. Don is a very quiet fellow. His hair is dark and quite wavy and his eyes are almost black. Don has been excellent in art ever since the grades. He has won prizes in several contests. He works in a drug store, but we're sure his career will be art, not soda- jerking. EDWARD JOSEPH DUBE Not much talk, a great big silence. Eddie is one of the few quiet boys in the senior class. Maybe it's because he has to get up bright and early to come down from Westminster every morning. He's well liked by his classmates despite his shyness. We wonder if he will ever stop beaming like a red light when a girl speaks to him. What's th; ma ter Eddie, do they scare you ? Band 2, 3, 4 EVERETT HASKELL DUDLEY, JR. At each stride, a ?nile is measitred. Everett came to us from Loomis School and has been a big help in making our senior year a great success. Cur only regret is that he didn't come to us earlier. He attends all school functions and is an accomplished dancer. We know that with Everett's great oratory he will certainly reach the top. Dramatic Club, Class Play, Radio Club, Class Book Committee 4 ROBERT THOMAS DUNCAN His knees, without damage, a bit nearer might be. Bob, or Dune as he is known to most of us, is one of our best all-around athletes. He was particularly adept in calling plays this year for our football team and has been continually outstand- ing on our basketball team. He also catches for our baseball team. You can always tell when Dune is around because he always has a smile and a good word for everyone.

A profound thinker, Jim is tops in the scientific field. He is always eager for a discussion on some scientific subject. He is known for his height, blonde hair, and black and white checked shirt. Durb is loyal both to his friends and to his class. Although he is usually busy, he's always willing to help soineone. Jim is certain to attain success in his chosen field of nuclear physics.

She plans to cont'.nue in the business iield. Basketball 2, 3, Volleyball 3 JAMES DI PRIMA The music of the orchestra was not a fault of mine. Jimmy is liked by everyone. No matter when you meet him he his a smile for you. When it comes to playing the trumpet, Jimmy is a second Harry James. He has no definite plans for the future, but if he goes on with his music, he should be a real success. Band, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, Junior-Senior Reception Com- mittee 3, Christmas Party NANCY MAE DOCEKAL How rare, how precious is frivolity. Nance is the latest addition to our class — having dropped in on us at the mid-year mark in our senior year. She spent her high school time between Lunenburg High and Cushing Academy. She is a lover of athletics, having participated in basketball and field hockey. She has taken part in dramatics in both schools. Her pleasant disposition should win her many friends during the re- mainder of her stay with us. MARIAN KATHERINE DONAHUE A light heart lives long. Marian is one small town gal who spends most of her time horseback riding. She has her own horse and is an excellent rider. Because she has to catch a bus right after school, not too many people really know her. However, when you see laughing brown eyes and a pleasant smile, you'll know it's Marian. 28
