Coutermarsh, Robert Merton “Cootie” Scientific Bug Club 2; Junior Prom Decorating Committee 3; Football 4; Freshman Reception 4; Baseball 4. “Play is not unlawful merely as a contest.” Cootie is the second half of the Braley-Couter-marsh combine. Where you see one, you see the other. He has a great gift of gab and how he does exercise his lungs as he trudges home about mid night! Cootie is one of the most popular boys in school and is a true friend to all. Curtis, Clyde Francis “Dunie” General Football 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4; Baseball 4. “Old men fall easily into recitals of past transactions.” Clyde came to us from Lebanon this year. His fighting spirit on the football field helped to make the team a success. He is also one of our famous male cooks. In the future we may see on some corner “Curtis Diner of Finer Foods”. DePalo, Frank Joseph “Frankie” Scientific Class President 1: Basketball 1. 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 1, 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Baseball 3; Exhibition in Manual Training 3; Kid Party. “It is variety which keeps alive desire, which would otherwise flag.” Frank, captain of the 1939-40 basketball team, is one of the niftiest basketball players ever to invade our court. Always remember, Frankie, that we’ll be on the side lines cheering as you climb the ladder to basketball success. Dionne, Armand James “Kicky” General Assistant Manager, Baseball 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Color League Basketball 3; Bicycle Club 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Kid Party 4. “The true effect of genuine politeness seems to be rather ease than pleasure.” Armand is our fighting Frenchman. He has played four fighting years of football. His nickname, which is “Kicky”, tells his story for him. He also has a good sense of humor and likes to jitterbug on a dance floor, especially with a certain “Marge”. How about it Kicky? [24 1

Burnham, Hazen Andrus General Stunt Night 4; Home Room Activities 4. “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were but little happy if I could say how much.” See no evil; speak no evil; hear no evil! That’s Hazen. But you may rest assured that when he does speak, his words contain meaning. Always remember, Hazen, that unspoken words do not lie. Close, Thompson Wallace “Tommy” Scientific Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Dramatic Club 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 3; Outing Club 3, 4; Student Advisory Board 4; French Club 4; Class Vice-President 4; Year Book Board, Chairman 4; Kid Party 4; Senior Play 4; Rotary Christmas Party 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Junior Rotarian. “Ambition pushes the soul to such actions as are apt to procure honor and reputation to the actor.” Tommy is one of the boys who will be most likely to succeed. His work in dramatics has been of superior quality. To “Beef Beemish” we say, “Success is found by those who seek it”. Connolly, Pauline Elizabeth “Polly” Scientific F'rench Club 4; Stunt Night 4; Home Room Activities 4. “Heady confidence promises victory without contest.” Polly is one of several of our class blondes. She has a captivating smile and a great sense of humor. Polly’s dream is to be a movie star. So Polly, you have our best wishes and please don’t forget us when you get to Hollywood. Corbin, Bella Albkrtine “Midget” Commercial Stunt Night 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Debating Tournament, Chairman 3; Prize Speaking 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4; Time Keeper at Debating Tournament 3. “So fair a land-scape charm’d the wond’ring knight.” Big things certainly do come in small packages. Bella moved here from Lewiston, Maine, when she was a junior. She will be remembered for her dramatic talent, especially as Button in our Senior Play. With her ability to acquire friends, Bella will go far. [23]

Dustin, Helen Carlene “Hefty” Classical Latin Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Dramatic Club 4; French Club, Secretary 4; Freshman Reception 4; Alumni Reception 4; Prize Speaking 4; Home Room Vice-Chairman 1; Student Advisory Board, Chairman 4; Class Secretary. “Then even superior to ambition, we with earnest eye anticipate those scenes of happiness and wonder.” Helen is one of the most versatile members of outclass. Her fine performance in the Senior Play, prize speaking, and English 111-A will not soon be forgotten. We know that Helen will succeed in whatever she does. Guarino, Loren a Mary “Weenie” Classical Latin Club 1, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; French Club 4; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Class Pin Committee 4. “To receive and to communicate assistance constitutes the happiness of human life.” She’s so quiet that we hardly know she’s there. But when you see a broad smile pop up, and you take a closer look, there stands “Weenie” behind it. Hadley, June Mary “Tiny” General “The inefficacy of advice is usually the fault of the councelor.” Tiny’s nickname is not appropriate, but it’s cute, don’t you think? June came to us from Quechee at the beginning of our Junior year. Her persistent giggle has added much to many a boring class. June plans to study nursing. If you’ll be her patient, she’ll be your nurse. Harvey, Marjorie Louise “Margie” Scientific Dartmouth Operetta 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Music Festival 1, 3; Class Marshal 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Dramatic Club 3, President 4; Stunt Night 3, 4; Music Club 1, 2; Junior Prom 3; Prize Speaking Chairman 4; Freshman Reception 4; French Club 4; Senior Play 4. “You have, indeed, every favorable circumstance for your advancement that can be wished.” Marjorie owns a clock that never gets her to school on time, but as the old saying goes, “Better late than never”. Marge makes up for lost time, however, with her pleasant smile and pleasing personality. We know that she will always be a part of the pleasant things of life. [25]
