RICHARD PAUL TROTTIER LYME, NEW HAMPSHIRE No one can feel unhappy or down in the dumps when Dick is around, for his roaring peals of laughter and loud gulfaws never fail to put everyone at ease. Dick enjoys life, whether he is exercising his vocal cords by calling a square dance or just plain exercis- ng as he hunts for his annual deer. One of his hobbies is automobiles, and he spends 1 great deal of time working on his Blue Comet Model A Ford, which seems to reflect mis own gay zest for life. Dick has interests on the quieter side too, for he is an excellent artist and proof of his ability can he found adorning the walls of Miss Spongberg's studio. This talent likewise stands him in good stead in Mechanical Drawing where me excels with a triangle and T-square. DANIEL PETER WATERMAN NORWICH, VERMONT If one could be paid for getting into trouble, Pedro would be rich. If he were given 'ull rein on Hallowe'en, in a few short hours he could provide work for a full crew of killed carpenters and repairmen. A true lover of fun, Pete can seldom be found in L dejected mood, and he is quite capable of making the worst tragedy seem funny. One- lever sees him when he isn't snappily dressed, all the way from an immaculate pair of vhite bucks to a dazzling plaid cap. lf, on some Monday morning, he should come to chool with his eyes half closed, one might assume that he had had a hard week-end. lsually this isn't the case, however, for Pedro spends many busy hours squinting in his larkroom as he pursues his ambition of becoming a professional photographer.

JLIVE MAY WATSON NORWICH, VERMONT When Olive moved from Merrimac, Massachusetts to Norwich this year, she quickly gained the distinction of being the shortest member of the class of '54. Perhaps this ,hort stature is to her advantage when she is scrambling through the underbrush in earch of wild game, for Olive is not only an enthusiastic huntress, she is a crack shot resides. She is fortunate, for she has spent many enjoyable hours riding over the back 'oads of Norwich on one of her three horses. Exercise seems to agree with Olive, as she ilso roller skates and ice skates. Uncle Sam's call for women volunteers will be answered n June as Olive plans to join one of the armed services. Senior Choir 4-. PHILIP NORRIS WATSON 7 BARRYMORE ROAD A strong believer in the rights and strength of the individual, Phil has always been mafraid to stand up for himself in a forthright way. One of the highest ranking students ,n his class, he has long amazed everyone with his speed at getting work done, and myone who dares to question his scholastic ability should be prepared for this retort, 'What's your average, Buddy? No longer is he able to convince anyone that he has iterally Hunked a test. for he is always close to the top, especially in the realm of mathe- natics. Throughout high school Phil has played an important role in athletics, centering ,he '53 football team and being a hockey standout.

GERALD WARREN STICKNEY LEWISTON, VERMONT One of the decorative highlights at the memorable Christmas Senior Ball was Santa driving his sleigh of reindeer down out of the sky midst the glittering snowflakes on the Assembly Hall curtain. Probably few people realized who was responsible for this gay work of art. Gerry, a modest Verrnonter, would rather remain quietly in the background asking little credit for such a job. He is not only a talented artist, but he is also one of Mr. Stimson's top mechanical drawing students. The hunting season brings out his ability to draw a bead on a buck, and last year he came home with a six-point 100- pounder. JOANNE ELNORA THOMPSON ETNA, NEW HAMPSHIRE Chrysanthemums, carnations, and roses take on added beauty as .Ioanne's skillful fingers nimbly work them into corsages and fioral bouquets. The art of calling fiowers by their correct names is not diiiicult for Jo, for during the summer months she capably fills customers' orders at Porter's Florist Shop. As business manager of the Harpoon, she deftly manipulates facts and figures to balance the books. Editor Andy never has to worry about hills going unpaid, for he knows his Hrighthand man is always on the job. Friday night, .lo may be seen in a gay dip and dive at the square dance in Hanover Center. Harpoon 4 NANCY JANE THORBURN NORWICH, VERMONT A true Vermonter, Nan's slow deliberate manner of speech diffused with such words as caow and pa'tridge, two deep dimples, a close-to-the-surface blush, and a wide smile give her poise and a genial mien. Nancy works at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital after school while she looks ahead to the day when she will be able to apply for a job as a full-fledged nurse. An enthusiastic bowler and dancer, Nan's weekends are busy ones, and she too, is an H. H. S. basketball fan. Nancy's pet peeve is being called Red, and with an adamant shake of her head, she'll say that her hair is more brown than red. Junior Choir 1: Senior Choir 2, 4g French Club 2, 3. TERESA MARY TOBIN GREENSBORO ROAD When someone says the name Teresa we think of a soft pageboy hair style, twinkling eyes, a merry laugh and a neat-as-a-pin appearance. Inveterately slow, sure, and easy, Terry turns into a dynamo on the basketball and field hockey teams. A keen interest in athletics and a sportsmanlike attitude make her a necessary cog in the wheel of good play. Few people are aware that the pleasant number please they hear from the Hanover switchboard may be the voice of Terry, who is starting early on a career with the Telephone Company. Considerate and good-natured, Terry increases and strengthens her friendships with each day.

Connie's managerial duties have been done in the quiet and efiicient manner that has made her a valuable and dependable member of any group. Her car has become a familiar sight at school functions, and many fall Saturdays have seen Connie with a carful of friends on the way to an out-of-town football game. A skillful typist, she has had ample opportunity to employ this skill as senior adviser to the Penofiron and as a member of the Press Club.

RIP ROAD Chippie is probably the most literary-minded football captain that Hanover has ever had. Not only has he an ability for throwing long straight passes on the gridiron, but he also has a reading background in classical and contemporary literature which could be compared favorably with those of many college seniors. Any moming of the week one can see Chip striding down the hall with his hands in his pockets, a big grin on his face, and a cheery Howdo! on his lips. When the temperature falls below 32, he may be seen gazing wistfully out the classroom windowg he is anticipating the first dark cloud that pressages another fall of skier's gold. As president of the Student Council he has exhibited his leadership, influence, and interest in school affairs.
