SUSAN CHOATE KEENE ETNA, NEW HAMPSHIRE Few people have traveled as extensively at eighteen as has our brown-eyed Susan. From the West Coast to Florida, and across the Atlantic for a bike trip in Europe, she has spread her friendliness among many people. An efiicient organizer, Sue has led the cheerleaders through a successful season, and at the same time, put her spirit and efforts into many other school activities. Whether you find her engrossed in a pair of pattern mittens, planning a musical club program, or serving a dinner for fifty people at the Lodge, you can be sure that she'll take time out to help a friend or offer good advice.

JOHN JOSEPH L'ECUYER ETNA, NEW HAMPSHIRE Now down in Quincy- With that slow New England drawl, John is about to tell everyone how things are done down Quincy way. Perhaps it was there that John began playing Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and company, which may eventually lead him to be- come a great concert pianist. Long a familiar figure at the piano in H. H. S., he often composes his own music. Don't be surprised someday to see him come hopping out on the stage of Carnegie Hall to start another delightful program of classical selections. John is also famous for doing things at the last possible moment, especially French as- signments, which are often started after the class has begun. Well versed in the printing business, he is a bug for photography, too.

FRANKLIN BRUCE LUCKENBACH 17 SCHOOL STREET Bruce has been one of the hardest working members of the class, for in addition to school work, he has held a regular job. He has become a well known figure behind the counter at Eastman's waiting on customers with a grin that indicates his easy-going friendly manner. Although Luck has had little leisure time for extracurricular activities, he has taken a very active interest in his class. Full of ideas and energy, Bruce was the author and director of the seniors' final production in the annual class assembly competi- tion. He has definite aspirations in the field of electronics, and it is not uncommon to see him with a radio or some electrical gadget under an arm. Senior Choir 4g Baseball 4. KENNETH JOHN MAYETTE NORWICH, VERMONT Who made that tackle? For at least 80 per cent of the time last fall, Mayette' would have been the answer. A star at any sport he has tried, Kenny's only handicap: have been injuries. In hockey he is both an effective defenseman and lineman, but i' is football and baseball that he loves the most. As captain of the nine during his senioi year, he has led the team wherever he has played, as a powerful hitter, a reliable pitcher or a fine fielder. Built like a. block of granite, Ken is a colorful athlete, too. It is a wel known story that he was once sidelined with a foot injury sustained from hunting squirrel: while he was barefooted.

MELISSA CASSANDRA HANCOCK 4356 MAIN STREET Nibbling on a carrot and keeping a watchful eye on her fluffy white cotton tail, Melissa hopped her way across the stage as Rabbit in '54's successful version of The House at Pooh Corner. Her imagination, sympathy, and creative ability have helped her in writing many original short stories. After school hours, Melissa often dons the snappy uniform of the Hanover Inn Coffee Shop where she waits on table. A look into the round glass globe of the future shows her trading in her immaculate white sneakers for some white nursing shoes.

If you hear that, there can be no mistaking to whom the voice belongs: none other than C-reggor, the hunter, fisherman and future game warden. Another niche in Mr. Bacon's absence chart indicates that the opening day of the season has arrived. This applies to either hunting or fishing, for he has a nearly equal love for both. Since he ties his own flies, he gets perhaps even more satisfaction out of snaring fish, for then he knows that by his own inventive genius he can outsmart the wily trout. Creggor should make an excellent game warden, for unquestionably he knows just where you can net an additional fish or two and not get caught. An accident during football season which left him with a broken jaw caused him to be unable to play this year, but by the time track season rolled around he was already hack in shape and ready for action.

A stalwart on the girls' basketball team and a fieet-footed halfback in hockey, her determination and spirit have urged many teams on to victory. Glenna is one of those lucky people who can make anything with her hands. ln our ,Iunior High Home Economics classes, she was always two or three dresses ahead of the rest of us, and she would answer desperate calls for help in threading a sewing machine or lighting a gas stove. Shorty is a zealous 4 H-er and her accomplishments in canning and sewing have often won her blue ribbons at the various fairs about the countryside.

With his highly technical mind, and his love for arguing highly scientific points with Mr. Leonard, he has proved his ability in the more complicated fields. Always on his toes, he will never let anyone make even the slightest mistake in his blackboard calculations. His knowledge isn't necewarily confined to the sciences, for he can tell you about Caesar's Gallic War or argue labor problems as easily as he can tell you why flying saucers exist or explain Einstein's theory of relativity. Next fall Bill plans to study accounting with the hope of becoming a Certified Public Accountant, which requires a good mathematical mind, and for which he is well equipped.

JOSEPH HENRY MERRILL, JR. 6 HIGHLAND AVENUE .loe's specialty is never letting life bother him, always enjoying himself whether he is working or just having a good time. He may often be seen turning his charm on the girls, and the Joemobile is constantly loaded down with a bevy of them. Easy-going as he may seem, Joe has a serious side, too. A reliable movie operator since the seventh grade, his loping stride down the hall and two or three reels under one arm have been a familiar sight. The many jobs he has had have made him a jack-of-all-trades and a handy fellow to have around. Audio-Visual Aides 1, 2, 3, 4: Football 3: Basketball l. ROBERT CHARLES MORSE LYME ROAD Those outside the class of '54 may not know it, but Bob is a piano virtuoso, an un- discovered Frankie Carle. Few are as much at ease at the keyboard as Bob, but his modesty conceals this ability. Mouse is also proficient in many other fields. He is an expert dancer and roller skater and an ardent sportsman. He has a good deal of academic ability and a Hair for creative writing as well. Spanish compositions are dashed off in Control periods often with rewarding marks. One of Bob's ambitions is to have a story printed in a sports magazine, and with all of his hunting and fishing experience to draw upon, his writing should soon be in print.

Auburn hair, a slow deliberate manner of speech, exotic earrings, and a discriminating taste in selecting colors in tones of bronze, green, and gold are personified in Mary. A cosmo- politan outlook on life draws her interest into many fields including languages such as Latin, French, Russian, and Spanish. A keen sense of humor and satire, and a broad background of knowledge give her an unusual Hair for writing and for brilliant conver- sation. A fast gallop across the campus on a white horse, black mourning clothes on the day after the 1952 presidential election, and firm stands on controversial issues in current problems class are but a few reflections on Mary's high school days.

Since all females aren't bom Elizabeth Taylors or Rita Hayworths, there is a grand future for those who can enhance the beauty of others. Sandy's ambition of becoming a beautician is well on its way to ful- fillment and success. Her lipstick collection of 45 types and hues is an eyeopener to most girls. Sparkling Irish eyes, and a temper to match, attest the name O'Brien, but Sandy's pleasing giggle could originate anywhere, and her pet expression, Well, get a load of that! couldn't be anything but American Yankee.
