Howard, Paulina Jane ‘‘Polly’’ Commercial Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Refreshment Committee for Junior Prom 3; Stunt Night 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Kid Party 4; Home Room Chairman 4; Announcer of Senior Play 4. “To direct a wanderer in the right way is to light another man’s candle by one’s own, which loses none of its life by what the other gains.” Paulina has shown us what fine leadership she has, especially since she was made home room chairman. With that great big smile and charming personality, we know that Paulina will go far. Howard, Walter Ernest “Walt Scientific Baseball 2; Bug Club 2; Junior Prom 3; Stunt Night 3, 4; Football 4. “ ’Tis not indeed my talent to engage in lofty trifles or to swell my page with wind and noise.” Walt’s a favorite among all his classmates and can always be depended upon whenever you need help. He is a very handsome lad and this, we believe, is best noticed when he smiles. We are sure that all the teachers will miss Walt next year, or will it be that pocket music box he carried around from class to class? Hudson, Pauline Eliza “Polly General Stunt Night 3; Home Room Activities 4. “I never sit silent in company when secret history is talking, but 1 am reproached for want of assurance.” Pauline came to us last year. She is one of the neat and quiet girls of our class. Polly always has her work done, and when she is through she has a good time in the hills of Quechee. It is said that she has a dear friend somewhere, but she never brings him down. Jackson, Teresa Gertrude “Terry Scientific Basketball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Stunt Night 3, 4; Softball 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; All-State Chorus 4; Senior Play Announcer 4; Music Club 2. “I have sometimes fancied that women have not a retentive power, or the faculty of suppressing their thoughts, but that they are necessitated to speak everything they think.” Wherever there’s Terry, there’s talking, but we would have missed her charming chatter. Terry has made herself well-known on the basketball court, as well as in Glee Club. If you are always as happy-go-lucky, and such a chatterbox, we’re sure that you 11 sail along through life very smoothly.

Hathorn, Ramona Dorothy “Monie” Classical Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night Committee 1; Class Treasurer 2; Stunt Night 2, 3; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Student Advisory Board 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Softball 3, 4; 2nd Prize D. A. R. Contest 3; Bowling Club 4; Home Room Treasurer (1st half) 4; Year Book Board 4; Glee Club 4; Hartfordian Staff 4; Fresh man Reception Committee 4; Senior Play, Announcer 4; Softball 4. A good conscience hath always en- ugh to reward itself, though the success fall not out according to the merit of the endeavor.” Don’t call her red-headed, she doesn’t like it. And besides, it’s almost brown, isn’t it, Monie? Monie is one of our favorite classmates. Although she is, she finds plenty of time to bowl, skate, play basketball, and attend movies. The best of luck to you Monie, as you go on to college for a higher education. Hefflon, Carman Henry “Heff” Scientific Glee Club 1,3; Outing Club 1, 2, President 3, 4; Ski Team 1, 2, Captain 3; Latin Club 1; French Club 1; Music Festival 1; Baseball 1; Football 1; Bug Club 2; Hockey 2; Stunt Night 3, 4; Bicycle Club 3; Home Room Representative 4; Kid Party 4; Freshman Reception 4. “ ’Tis the first sanction nature gave to man, Each other to assist in what they can.” Carman is always telling what he considers hysterically funny jokes. (Maybe his “outside interest” in Lebanon thinks they are funny, too). He is one of our best in Math and we expect to see him someday a famous (or notorious) draftsman. Hill, Margaret Yolande Peggy'’ Commercial “Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manners.” Haven’t we a lot of good commercial students? Margaret certainly is no exception. We hope never to miss her beaming countenance over at Newberry’s. Howard, James George “Jim” General Bug Club 3; Baseball 3, 4. “We sometimes think we could a speech produce much to the purpose, if our tongues were loose.” Jimmy is a very industrious boy (at least outside of school). He’s always laughing and joking, especially with the girls, who just adore his curly hair. [26 ]

Jones, Lester Leon Wimpy” Scientific Glee Club 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball Manager 3; Bug Club 2; Boy’s State 3; Baseball 4; Student Advisory Board 4; History Club 3; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; Stunt Night 4; Junior Ro-tarian 4. “Devotion seldom dies in a mind that has received an early tincture of it.” Lester, captain of the 1939 football team, is anything but a “he-man” in the classroom. He is very quiet and shy, and has the cutest wink. The members of the fairer sex just can’t get a break. Why? Well, a certain Hartford girl has a firm hold and we can’t do a thing about it. Good luck, Les, and may you succeeed in the goal you strive to attain. Jorgensen, Helen Lucille Itchy Scientific Basketball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Softball 3, 4; Sportsman’s Show Committee 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Dramatic Club 4. “Soft stillness, and the night, become the touches of sweet harmony.” When we think of Jorgensen, we naturally think of basketball. Helen’s main interests are in sports, and in a certain lad from over the river. Kontos, Alexander Louis Alex General Stunt Night 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Secretary and Treasurer Bug Club 2; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2. 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Class President 2, 3; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; Prize Speaking 3; Student Advisory Board 8; Dramatic Club 3, Treasurer 4; Boy’s State 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Alumni Reception 4; “Submerged” 4; Class Attorney 4; Senior Play 4; Junior Rotarian 4; Home Room Chairman 4. If you hear a wise sentence or an apt phrase, commit it to your memory.” Alex is our most active boy. He was our class president for two years and this year is our attorney. He has been famous on the football and baseball fields. In dramatics he is a wow! Remember him in “Submerged”, The First Dress Suit”, and “Bachelor Born”? Labbie, Lsteli.e Marie Commercial Freshman Reception Committee 4; Kid Party Committee 4; Glee Club 4; Senior Play 4. “The most successful students make their advances in knowledge by short flights.” Estelle has made a fine name for herself in the commercial department. She ranks at the top in the typing and shorthand classes. We’re sure you’ll make someone a first class “stenog”, Estelle. I 2«]
