The Boulder 1949 RUTH MARY CLARK Come, and trip it, as you go, on the light fantastic toe. A small girl with an impish smile is Ruthie. Her attractive personality and ability to win friends, along with her high marks, have made her one of the outstanding members of the class. Ruthie has shown her talent for dancing, by performing in various school functions. Perhaps she will follow this talent in the future.

WILLIAM ALBERT CLOUTHIER, JR. The real character of a man is found out by his amusements. Bill is the fellow with the friendly grin, and the large collec- tion of pictures in his wallet. We notice that after every summer vacation there are a few more pictures added to his wallet. Bill is a good dancer; this helps to make him more acquaintances. He is very naval minded and expects to join the Navy in June. JEANNE MAE CORKUM Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life. Fun-loving Jeanne is welcome wherever she goes. Besides be- ing an excellent student, she excels in art. She has designed a number of covers, for The Red Gray. After graduation Jeanne intends to enter a school of nursing. With her initiative we know she will be successful in her chosen field.

DORIS JEAN CORMIER A merry girl with a pleasant smile. Doris is friendly and smiling whenever you see her. She is one of the fortunate girls, blessed with beautiful curly hair. Dur- ing the football season you usually saw her sitting beside the coach taking his dictation — quite an attraction to the bench. She is an excellent dancer and collects all the latest hit tunes. Doris's plans for the future are not definite. Basketball 2, 3; Junior-Senior Reception 3; Tennis 2; Thanks- giving Dance Committee 4; Volleyball 2, 3. 24

The Boulder 1949 CYNTHIA ANN CHABOT A little time for laughter. This attractive, neatly-clad girl, known as Cyn , could never be taken for the twin of Shirley.

Cyn plans to enter business college after graduation. Basketball 3, 4 ; Alternate Representative 3 ; Junior-Senior Re- ception 3 ; Volleyball 3, 4. SHIRLEY MAE CHABOT Merrily I make my way through life day by day. Her flashing dimples and sparkling smile easily win all whom Shirley mets. Laughter and good humor accompany her wherever she may go, for making people see the brighter side of life is one of her outstanding characteristics. Next fall Shirley plans to enter business college. Basketball 3; Junior-Senior Reception 3; Volleyball 3. RUTH ESTHER CHALMERS Cheerfulness helps us along the path of life. Ruth is a popular miss who literally bubbles over with viva- city. She enjoys reading and has a large library. English is the subject she enjoys the most. In her spare time she works in a local clothing store and is quite an efficient salesgirl. Her work on the class book was invaluable. Ruth's plans for the future are not yet definite but will probably be domestic.

BEVERLY JOANNE CHASE Yonder sits a maiden, the fairest of the fair. Blonde and Bronx-born, an unbeatable combination, Bev is one of the most attractive and popular lasses in the class of '49. Bev can be depended upon to do her share of the work, no matter what the order of the day may be. She was a great asset to the Boulder, an active member of the dramatic club, and has taken part in many presentations. She enjoys skiing, dancing, and swimming. Bev hopes to study journalism at Columbia University.

5 The Boulier ]949 NORINE ANN CORMIER To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. In school Norine is noted for her nice smile and studious nature. She has lovely dark hair and dark eyes to go with it. Norine enjoys both semi-classical and popular music. She likes sports — particularly swimming and bowling. Norine loves to spend an afternoon by going to a picnic or a baseball game. Norine has not decided what she will do after graduation. LEON ARMAND COTE, JR. Quiet, unassu?ning, reserved, and thoughtful. Leon is one of the more serious members of our class, who has always maintained a fine scholastic standing. Though interested in many sports, his favorite is basketball. He is an active member in a youth church fellowship. Lee is a part-timer who works in the school bank for Mr. Howard. Basketball 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Junior-Senior Relay 3, 4. MARY MARGARET COURTNEY Sweetly, prettily, she winds her helpful way. Mary is the type of person who would go miles out of her way to do a favor to a friend ; yet she never asks anything for her- self. This modesty has gained for her respect and admiration from her friends. Sweet and pretty, Mary is usually quiet and retiring. We know that in the future Mary will be the same; the gentle person that she is now. Junior Prom Committee 3. RICHARD ALLEN CRAWFORD One can easily pick a wise man by the things he doesn't say. That tall slender blond whom you see walking the fourth floor corridor in the morning, seconds before the last bell is Richie. Good nature being his chief attribute makes him well liked by all. His favorite pastime is skiing on the nearby hills, but this was a bad winter for his favorite sport. It wouldn't surprise us one bit if he became another Hannes Schneider.
