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.

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.

ALICIA MARGARITA PIANCA 12 OCCOM RIDGE Latin, French, and conversational Spanish are but a few of Alicia's scholastic ac complishments. Her work as editor of the Harpoon during her junior year produced ar excellent paper. Constantly after tardy reporters, she could often be seen stuffing article: and papers into her bulging brown leather zippered notebook. Long black braids ar ranged neatly on top of her head, eyes that sparkle and nearly close when she laughs, ant a love for bright colors and foreign jewelry depict Alicia. Well traveled, she has spen summers at Cape Cod, in Puerto Rico and in Europe, and wherever she goes, her ability to get along with other people wins her many friends.

ARTHUR HENRY PIPER LYME, NEW HAMPSHIRE On the basketball Hoor Art is a whiz, and '54 is justly proud of its quintet captain for the past season. '6Pipe grew up with a desire to play basketball, and the trail has led him to four years on the Hanover team. As well as a star hoopster, Art is a competent baseball outfielder. He has a fine sense of humor and never seems to be disturbed about anything. Art plans to swap his habitual sport shirt and white bucks for a khaki outfit and a career with Uncle Sam.

Last year her sweet soprano voice was heard as the lead in The Mikado and as the soloist in the Chorus' Christmas rendition of I Wonder as l Wander. Although music is first and foremost on Janet's list of interests, she tinds time to take part in many other activities. As Secretary of the Inde Board, she is known for her neat, copious notes. Her ability to make friends stood her in good stead at Vermont Girls' State last summer. Jan's sparkling enthusiasm and her MI think it will be fun attitude help enliven any occasion.

ARNOLD MELVIN RICH LYME ROAD Sonny hopes someday to make a lot of money so that he may live up to his name CThat's a Rich one.l His chief interest lies in anything that has four wheels and he spends a good deal of his time labouring over his 1938 Chevy, not because he likes tt tinker on it but also because the repair work is necessary. Not content to have only the life-size versions about, he likes to build model trucks, for this is the only way in whicl he can bring them into his house. As is not uncommon among the boys in Hanover, one of his great ambitions is to run a drag race with the police cruiser on Main Street When his old car is on the blink, he goes over to Norwich and clears some of the hot-rot lust out of his system on the roller-skating floor. When Arny becomes an Army mechanic the enemy had better be on its toes, for he is bound to turn out a fleet of hot-rod jeep: that will revolutionize modern warfare.
