Barbara Elizabeth Collins 3U ' “Belty ‘Youth icill have its fling. ' ’ ' Senior Dance Coininittoo (4). Tlii.s lively, liapiiily humored youn lady came to us in the middle of our Junior Year from Dover, New Hami)shire. It is reported by the opi osite sex that she is a fairy to dance with. Her ambition is to be a I)omestic Science teacher. We wish her luck in this resi)ect. Althoutih “Hetty” has })ecn with us but a short time, there is hardl}- a person not accpiainted with her. Helen Etta Comins Helen “A good friend is a ])rccio s thing.” KemiiiKton Certificate (1); dec Club (4); Orchestra (D; Honor I’oll. Helen comes to us fi’om Millers Falls. Her main talent is music, and it is as bad as tryinfj to follow a streak of li htninfj as to follow her flying finfjers on the luano. One way bj ' which she can always be identified is by her wholesome laush. Helen is i)lan- ning to go into nursing after she graduates. “The joy of youth and health her eyes display, An ease of heart her every look cotn ' cycd.” Honor Koll (1), (4); Cirls’ Varsity Basketball (3); Girls’ Athletic Ad i.sory Board (4); Feature Writer of Exponent (3) ; School Editor (4) ; “A Pair of lamatics” (3) ; Peggy in “. ll-of-a-Sudden Peggy” (4); “Belle of Barcelona” (2); “Pinafore” (3); Year Book Staff (4); Dramatic Club (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4). “Peg” is one of the most versatile members of the Senior Class for, besides being a clever actress, she is also an accomplished dancer, jtianist, basketball jJayer, and an all round good si ort. She proved her dramatic ability when she played the role of Peggy in the Senior Plaj’, “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.” Often is she seen accompanied by a young man, formerly of G. H.S., but now a .student at Fordham. Probably the College of New Rochelle will be graced bj- this 3 ’oung lad ' ’s presence next 3 ' ear, but whatever 3 ' ou do, “Peg,” the best to you. Geneva Condraski “Jennie ' “A friend to one and all, a helping ready at your call.” Tvpewriting Awards; Shorthand Certificates; Commercial Club (1), (2), (4); Spanish Club (2). IW just glancing through “Jennie’s” list of achievements, it is eas 3 ' to sec that most of her time has been used in the commercial department. She has added much life and spice to the Commercial Club this last 3 ' ear, ami much of the success of its meetings are due to her. In whatever she undertakes, hero’s wishing her “the best o’ luck.” Margaret Mary Connors George Henry Coombs George “IFc grant although he had much ivit, lie was very shy of u.dng it.” George is our big he-man who hails from Bernardston. He is a good natured and joking . ;ort of a fellow. We hear that George is (juito a basketball player, having ])layed for the North Parish Scouts. Be. idos this, he has attended some social events at the Parisli. Gooil luck for the future, George. 23

Ellen Grace Chiz Ellen “A smile for all, a u ' clrome ( lad, .1 jovial coaxing u ' ay she had.” Remington Award (3); Commercial Clul) (2), (4). Ellen is that shy little girl who very much enjoys Commercial subjects, hnt she has her good times — what say, Ellen? tShe always has a pleasant gn’cting for everyone, and we will certainly miss her snnny smile. In her .Junior year Ellen was a “sub” on the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. We know that she was an exceptional forward, inaking wonderful shots. 8he is planning to work next year, and we know that she will be as successful as she has been in G. H. tS. Everett Le Roy Choiniere Everett “Wit is the s(dt of conversation.” Archery Club (4); Science Club (4) ; Orchestra (1 , (2), (3), (4) ; Band (1), (2), (3), (4); Assemblv Orchestra (3), (4); Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); Hi-Y (4); “Pepita,” operetta (4). AVe all know Everett by his witty sayings and his love for music. He has belonged to the band and orchestra for his four High School years. These musical organizations will have to learn to get on without him, and it will be hard to find someone to replace him. The rest of us will miss his witty .sayings and his unusual remarks that have brightened many a dull class room. AA’e wish 3 ' ou great success in j’our work next j ' ear Everett. Henry Williams Choiniere Henry “You cat and laugh so much You must he a jolly fellow.” Royal Tj iewriting Award; Spanish Club (2); Band (1), (2), (3); Orchestra (1), (2). Hemy is known as a happy-go-luck.v fellow. Because of his cheerful manner he lias made maiyv close friends in G. H. S. He has taken part in both orchestra and band during his high school career. We’ ' e decided that apjireciation of music must run in families. Since Hemy is iilanning to work next ’ear, we know he will make a success and our be.st wishes go with him. Kenneth William Clark “Ken” Still waters run deep.” “Kcm” is so sh ’ that he has not dared to let himself out and get bettc ' r aciiuainted with his classmates. He is naturall.v (luiet and stud.ving seems to be his main occupation. In this he is a very conscientious worker. His future is still undecided. Helen Pauline Collings Helen “Be happy and your friends arc many.” Honor Roll (1), (2), (3), (4); Eight Typewriting Certificates; O.G.A. Pin; ( ' ommeicial Club (2), (4). Helen knows how to make use of her long fingers. Be.sides being one ol our fastest tvjiists she is a good piano jilayer. It is only at times when she gets out of her .shy spell that .die will let her talent be known. She has an easy disposition to get along with, and her wistful little smile can usually be detected a long di.stance.

4 T ff Lee Leland George Cote ‘‘A merrier ))i(in I never spent an hour ' s talk withal.” Honor Koll (1), (3). (4); “Hod Owl” (3); Draiuirtic Clul) (2), (3), (4); Scioiicp Chih (3); Latin Club (4); Junior Prize Hjieakinp: (3); Debatint; Club (4). Vice-prct idcnt (4). The one boy on whom we can depend to make classes interesting is “Lee.” He is very clever and witty in his sayings and always brings up some enjoyable subject for class discussion. When we have oral topics we all await “Lee’s” eagerly, for he is sure to talk the whole i)eriod and be so entertaining that the teacher likes it ami does not think to tell him to stoj). “Lee” enjoys dramatics and has taken part in many plays and also in the Junior Prize Si)eaking. We know that he will keep up the good work and be very successful in the future. Ellen Elizabeth Crowningshield Ellen “Content to do the best u ' ork to preserve her own difpiity And leave the rest to the future.” Lllen is that tall shy girl who does so well in whatever she undertakes. True, she may be silent and shj ' , but, as actions si)eak louder than words, so LJlen’s work in school and outside sjieak louder than her words. Efficient, kind, punctual—that’s Ellen. So, with these many good qualities of yours, Ellen, may you be as successful after High School as you have been here. Helen Beatrice Curtis Helen “To hear her sjicak, a)id sweetly smile You are in Paradise the while.” Helen is interested in her work, which is commercial, and thinks she will continue along this line in the future. During her four years in High School, she has been rather quiet, jireferring her old friends to any new ones she might have found. She has been a diligent worker and a steadfast friend, and all her classmates will miss her in the future. Here’s haiipiness Helen. Avery Harrison Demond Ave” “I am in earnest anil I will he heard.” A.ssistant Business Manager of Exponent (2); Business Manager (3); Science Club (4); Honor Roll (1). (2). Avi ' ry is the shoit (?) stocky (?) Senior who never enjoys studying, but who has a ( ' ry great craving for slijis which invite him to keep company with the Principal in Room 23 for one hour. Dviring his Ereshman and Sophomore years he seemed to like his ti ' achers for he attimded his classes, but during his last two years something went wrong for he attimds wlu ' ii he wishes. Avery intends to study at Deerlield Academy next year. Our Ix ' st wishes are with you, Aveiy. 3 Mary Josephine Donovan ' ‘May” “Youth holds no society with grief.” ' i ' yiiewriting Awards; Spanish Club (2); (dee Club (1), (2), (3). Alary is another one ot our successful (’ommercial Department misses. Everyone has seen her tall, queenly figure in our corridors many times, for she is the n-cijiient of many admiring glances as her clothes are right up to the minute. Did anyone ever see “May” when she didn’t look smart”? As a manneiiuin she can certainly make a big success, but in whatever she undertakes we wish her the best luck. 24
