1950 SHIRLEY JEAN COWDREY Cheerfulness helps us along the path of life. Shirley spends her spare time baby-sitting and we hear she is quite skilled in the art. We also understand that she enjoys band concerts and movies. Although fond of many sports, her favorite seems to be swim- ming. Shirley looks forward to a career in the telephone office. GERARD ANTHONY CROTEAU I'm mighty glad I'm alive. Gerard we envy for his wavy hair. There need be little explanation for his mountain of Vaughn Monroe records if you've seen the light in his eye whenever Racing With The Mo-o-o-n is heard. He has a favorite pipe at home which, we hear, is often enjoyed. Gerard goes to all the football games, as it is his favorite sport. His plans for the future are still indefinite. Debating Club, 2; Dramatic Club, 3. WALDO ERNEST DAULTON Nothing is more useful than silence. Tim, as he is known to us, can easily be spotted in school by the sharp clothes he wears. He's always buying a new shirt or sweater. Tim buzzes around town in his old Chevrolet when he is not at work in the West Fitchburg Co-op. He plans to keep his present job after grad- uation. DONA JANE DeBARGE could sit on, untroubled day by day. A quiet but likable girl, Donna plans on a career in dress designing. She is very good at designing clothes as you can see, for much of her wardrobe consists of her own handiwork. Donna's calm and studious nature makes her a popular member of our class. Junior Prom Committee, 3. EMMA MARIE DEMERS is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Emma came to us during her sophomore year, from Dover, New Hampshire, and her charming smile and radiant personality have won her many friends. Although she is modest about it, she has a beautiful singing voice. Two of her favorite pastimes are dancing and skating. Emma's plans for the future are indefinite. Basketball, 3. 23
