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.

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.

Littlefield, Hally Beth “Tilly Commercial Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 4; Kid Party 4; Freshman Reception 4. “Her hopes and expectations are bigger than her enjoyments.” Hally joined us her Junior year when she moved here from Penacook. She has certainly made herself known and has acquired the friendship of all. However, she still has week-end visitors from the old home town. What’s the matter with the White River boys. Hally?

His old Ford is his best friend, except for a certain lass in Lebanon. Howard is the lad who can tell “big experiences” about his “extraordinary life”. Good luck, Howard! Luce, Florence Lois “Flossie” General Home Economics Style Show 1, 2; Home Room Activities 4. “The resonableness of a test is not hard to be proved.” It is an old saying that the three chief means of communication are telephone, telegraph, and tela-woman. It is our privilege, and so let’s make the most of it. “Flossie” has a grand sense of humor and a pleasing personality and will, no doubt, make someone a very good wife. I 29 |
