GEORGE ALDEN PETERS “Pete” “Trusty, dusky, vivid, true.” Behold the champion of absentees! George surely knows how to be missing from school! How do you do it? How¬ ever, his able assistance in the matter of stage properties easily makes up for this. Room A will miss his cheery smile next year, even more than his help in the auditorium, if possible. JUSTINE ELIZABETH PHILLIPS “Tunas” “And I oft have heard defended Little said is soonest mended.” You know her by her nice wide smile and cheerful frame of mind. Justine came here from Springfield last year. She doesn’t know what she will do next year; she is interested in hair dressing. Good luck and lots of it, “Tunas”! RENA KATHERINE POULOS “Renee” “I am the very pink of courtesy.” Glee Club (1, 2). Everybody knows this “petite” girl with the pretty hair. The girls in Room A have discovered that she’s clever at doing up other people’s hair, too. Renee” says she’d like to go in train¬ ing next year, but can’t quite decide where to go. We all wish her the best of success in whatever she may under¬ take. EDWARD JOHN POWERS, JR. “Fireman” “Fireman, save my child.” Football, Second Team (1); Football (2, 3); Hi-Y (4). Eddie” is one of our good-natured fellows from the shack.” What would our football team have done without this fighting lad? “Eddie” has been very busy during his high school days, espe¬ cially since that A. P. market was opened. When it comes to chemistry, “Eddie” is right there. And can that boy blush! We are all acquainted with his cheerful smile and his wittv remarks. Next year, some prep school will receive this studious boy. WANDA CAROLYN PRUSICK “Toddy” “A very riband in the cap of youth.” Wanda is another who hasn’t decided just what she will do next j’ear. Haven’t we seen her in a certain drug-store “dishing” out ice-cream, and does she know her sodas? What ' s this about that car you sometimes come to school in ? KATHERINE MARY PULASKI “Kay” “And is there a care in Heaven?” Glee Club (1, 2); Commercial Club (3, 4). Who is the girl whose outward appear¬ ance leads everyone to believe that she is very quiet ? We who know her well, know that she is much more full of the dickens” than she seems. We’ve seen her in one of the stores in town, where she plans to continue her work for a time. Perhaps she will go away to school in a year or two to study personnel directing. SARAH GWENDOLYN REID “Gwen” “Happy heart better than wealth.” “Belle of Barcelona” (1); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Class Basketball (2, 3). “Gwen’s” sunny. In fact her initials indicate that Sunshine Gloriously Radi¬ ates. “Sally Gwen” likes to sing which also points to the aforesaid. We wonder if “Gwen” ever had any serious thoughts. She never seems to worry about home-work, anyway. But she must be quick to learn for she always passes her subjects. “Gwen” is going to normal school. ROBERT FRANCIS REYNOLDS “Red” “Actions speak louder than words.” Basketball (2, 3, 4); Baseball (2, 3); Year Book Staff; Exponent (3); Trea¬ surer (2); Dance Committee (2, 4); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); “Pinafore” (2); “Belle of Barcelona” (1); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Dramatic Club (4); Band (1); Cheer Leader (3, 4); G. H. S. Synco- pators (3, 4); Silver G Club. “Red” is a singer, clubman, athlete, actor, politician, musician, and cheer leader. His Silver G” proves his accomplishments in High. Didn’t he make a dandy leading man in the Senior Play? He was at home in the part of a reporter as he had also reported for our school paper. G. H. S. will lose an active student when “Bob” goes to the Alviene School of the Theatre. HOPE PRISCILLA RICHARDS “Crisco” “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4); Tennis (1.4); “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Debating Club (3, 4); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Spanish Club (3). Hope’s middle initial is P. which stands for “Pep.” Also, her hair is red. She has a strong singing voice and especially likes “hints.” She has, in her light happy mood, forgotten to attend, perhaps we can say. Physics class. Hope has high hopes of training at the Hart¬ ford City Hospital. MURIEL ANN RICHARDS “Mu” “I’ve found it a life full of kindness and bliss.” Camera Club (1); Spanish Club (3); Science Club (4). “Mu ' s” hobby must be clubs, for she has been in many inside and outside of school. Maybe she ' ll be a successful club leader. She is not like her red¬ headed sister as Muriel is more quiet, but everyone knows that she is full of fun and a great little pal. Muriel wants to come back to G. H. S. next year to take a P. G. course for more credits toward college. 29

JEANETTE NASH “Jean” “She wasn’t so bad, so to say — only mischievous.” Commercial Club (3); Archery (3). Jeanette is the “flash” around school, the one you hear but you don ' t very often see. Never mind, Jeanette, though we did not often see you we liked you a lot. Jeanette plans to train at Dickinson Hospital in Harnp” next year. MAYERETTE AMABEL NEWCOMB “May” “She is gentle; she is shy.” Pro Merito; Glee Club (1, 2, 3). Maverette is one of the quiet, indus¬ trious girls of the class. Every morning she arrives on the bus from Leyden Road and hastily enters dear G. H. S. to begin her daily grind. Because of the distance between her home and our school, we haven’t heard much about Maverette, but we all wish her success in the future. JENNIE IIEDWIG NIEDZWIEDZ “Peewee” “Friendliness is a virtue of success.” Royal Typewriting Certificate; Glee Club (2, 3). Jennie is one of our quiet, curly-haired friends from Millers. She has made quite a name for herself in commercial circles by her proficiency in typewriting and spelling. She has not entered into many outside activities while in school, but her pleasing personality will be remembered by those who have come into contact with her in her classes. DWIGHT LAWRENCE NORWOOD “Babe” “High flights he had and wit at will And so his tongue lay seldom still.” Dwight, known among the Seniors as Dwight Lawrence Norwood, Junior, is one of the loudest Seniors in high school. He has the honor of being one of the youngest members of the Senior class. Dwight is very brilliant and would achieve much if he would place his studies first. Dwight is undecided as to the future. PHILIP JOHN NORWOOD “Phil” Men of few words are the best men.” “Phil” is the greater of the famed Norwood brothers. Everyone has seen him doing his part putting up scenery on the stage. He was always good in helping out the high school in this way and that is why everything has gone smoothly under his management. You have probably seen him down street washing windows, and let us tell you he’s a good man to have around. In every way “Phil” is that quiet helpful young gentleman with that shy smile. GENEVIEVE MARION OLSZEWSKI “Shrimp” “Where there’s a smile there’s a friend.” “Belle of Barcelona” (1); “Pinafore” (2); “Pepita”(3); “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Commercial Club (3, 4). Genevieve is one of our pleasant Seniors whom we can’t help but make friends with. No one has ever seen her when she has not had that friendly smile which made her so many friends in G. H. S. Genevieve has been very active in dramatics during her four years in High School appearing in every operetta during her stay here. JESSIE ELIZABETH OSTROSKI “Yez” “Oh Jessie fair, beyond compare! I’ll make a garland of thy hair!” Glee Club. If you should see a young girl, always smiling and cheerful, under a bright mop of fine hair, take a second look. Perhaps it is Jessie. We hear she- isn’t always the “quiet” girl one might con¬ sider her, but she is a girl of plenty of pep, vim, vigor, and popularity. We most certainly wish you success in your future life, Jessie. JOSIE MARY PANRIEVICH “Joe” “Virtue alone is happiness below.” Commercial Club (3, 4). Josie is a Senior girl who seems to keep things pretty much to herself. What do you think about life in general, Josie? Do you tell it all to your type¬ writer? How G. H. S. will miss such dependable and studious girls as you, next year!’ Yet how much the world gains when you enter it! MARTHA ELLEN PECK “Peckie” “A good sport is always to be sought.” Pro Merito; Exponent Staff (4); Year Book Staff; Glee Club (3); Latin Club (3, 4); Girl Scouts (4). Ellen, that studious girl from Rowe, is one of the best sports the Class of 1932 has produced. She will always try some¬ thing once, and usually gets there, too. Witness her Pro Merito and High Schol¬ arship record! We most certainly hope and confidently expect that she will succeed as well at Mount Holyoke next year. Here’s to you, “Peckie”! ALTHEA ELIZABETH PERSONS “Al” “My wealth is health and perfect ease.” “Belle of Barcelona” (2); Glee Club (1); Orchestra (1); Archery (3). If you are looking for a versatile, “perfect 36,” Senior girl, here you are. Althea is the picture of health (did you find it at the toboggan chute, “Al”?), attractive in personality, and talented in dramatics. We hear rumors that she is the much talked of Senior girl who is always seen with a certain Sophomore boy. Is that true, “Al”? 2S

As captain of the football team “Ham” led the team of ’31 through a victorious year. If he sets out to do a thing he is sure to succeed. In his Senior year, his first year in basketball, he made one of the basketball teams. His outside interest is wrestling. You can see Earle is athletic. He’s an actor, athlete, and musician all in one.

Do you remember the “footman” in the Senior play, the “bold bad villain” in “Miss Cherryblossom” and the fine tenor in “Pepita”? . . . Well, Louis was all of these and a fine job he did of each one. Likeable and with a keen sense of humor, he is welcome wherever he goes. Louis is a football and track man of no little ability. New York Medical School claims Louis next year. ALMA MILDRED RICHASON “Al” I would help out of a fellow feeling.” “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Chorus (2, 3, 4); Commercial Club (3, 4). Sh! Don’t tell me you don’t know who is walking with Louis? Why Alma, of course, one of the Richardson pair. “Al” has a fine voice and has been a member of the Glee Club for three years. She took part in “Miss Cherryblossom” and her voice was a great asset. What¬ ever her plans for the future are we are sure she will be successful. MOE RISPLER “Moey” “One is never alone who is occupied with noble thoughts.” Senior Commercial Club (4). Moe” is a dark-haired, athletically built boy who thinks much and says little. His activities in school have been mostly scholastic but his outside activi¬ ties . . . well that’s another story. Even Walter Winchell has his secrets and so, “Moey,” we’ll give them all the run around and let them guess. What¬ ever you plan for your future we feel sure that success is looking right at you. JUNE ELIZABETH ROBBINS Bobbie” Nothing is impossible to Diligence and Skill.” Secretary and Treasurer of Pro Merito; Royal and Remington Type¬ writing Awards, and filing certificates; Tennis (1, 3, 4); Exponent (3); Year Book Staff; Student Council (2); Class Secretary (2); Junior Commercial Club (3) ; Senior Commercial Club (4); Silver G Club (3). June is the girl with the Pepsodent Smile.” Her activities in G. H. S. have been many and varied. Scholastic honors, athletic fame, and all round popularity have been her accomplish¬ ments and here are a few proofs — Secretary of Pro Merito, acknowledged best tennis player in the class, and has many friends. NORMAN PHILIP ROBERTS “Norm” “Speak low if you speak of love.” Manager of Hockey (4); Exponent (3); Band (2, 3, 4); Assembly Orchestra (3, 4); Archery (4); Treasurer of Latin Club (3). “Norm” is that gay lad always seen with his Austin and — well, we won’t give him away. Energetic trumpet player in the band and orchestra, he is happy only when busy. Pleasant com¬ pany, as his many friends can testify, Norman is always in the center of the gathering. He is an active member of the Latin Club and an archer of no little ability. The American School of Laundry welcomes “Norm” and we all wish him success. EVELYN HOPE ROBINSON “Ev” “She is tall but divinely fair.” “Belle of Barcelona” (1); “Pepita” (3); Glee Club (1, 4); Dramatic Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3). We will remember that tall blonde from the city over the hill whose interest lies in singing and dramatics. Could an Operetta get along without “Ev”? No, we’re afraid not. They’ll miss you next year, but let us wish you the best of luck in life and your musical career. GERDA LAURA ROSENZWEIG “Smitty” “Good things come in small packages.” Pro Merito; Year Book Staff; Fresh¬ man Dance Committee (2); “Pepita” (31; “Two Crooks and a Lady” (4); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Belle of Barcelona” (2) ; Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Latin Club (3) ; Dramatic Club (2, 3, 4). Who won’t miss this cheerftd little person next year? To see her run bustling about one would think she was in a hurry, but not at all. She will stop and have a chat with you any place, at any time, on any subject. Smitty” also rates very high in dramatic ability. SEBASTIAN JOHN RUGGER! “Busty” “Girls, beware this dark-haired young gentleman.” Basketball, Second Team (4); Year Book Staff; “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Hi-Y (4); Dramatic Club (4); Public Speaking (3). “Busty,” who doesn’t know him and has not seen him dance? A dance with¬ out him just isn’t. To see him glide along the floor with the latest steps makes one think of Spring itself. If you learn as fast in life as you have on the dance floor your worries should be few. WALTER JOSEPH SCHWARZ “ Wallie” “None but himself can be his parallel.” “Pinafore” (2); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Science Club (1); Commercial Club (3). “Wallie” is that quiet (?) lad who may be seen running around the corri¬ dor mornings asking everyone foolish questions.
