The BARBARA MARTHA EFVERMAN Her ways are ways of pleasantness all her paths are peace. Barbara is a tall, slim, attractive brunette with a calm and serene way about her.

Her name can usually be found high on our honor roll, for she is one of our best students. Volleyball 2. JOSEPH JAMES EMMA There is mischief in this man.

A dapper young man came strolling in one fine morning and made known his desire to become trained as an auto-mechanic, a desire which accounts for the fact that his car has never failed him. Whenever a dance was held in school, Vince was always present. His big moment came when he addressed the freshman class on the value of vocational education. We feel sure that if he continues the good work of the past, his success for the future is assured. Home Room Representative 4; Variety Revue 4. ROBERT JOHN FARWELL An education is worth the time.

He is also our mathematics genius, and hopes to attend Worcester Tech next year.
