 SHEPARD. BURTON “Stiff Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Room Activities 1. 2, 3. 4; Class Vice-President 1; C lass President 2; Stunt Night 1. 2. 3. 4; Rand 1. 2. 3. 4; Vice-President 4; Assemblies 1, 2, 3, 4 ; All State Music Festival 1. 2, 4; S.

Well dressed, a good dancer, talented and a love for arguing: put these together and you get Burton. He'll talk daily till 8 OS then dash madly to cafeteria with his lunch. Band. Quartet. Prize Speaking and Dramatic Club have been right up Burton’s alley. Also the desire to plague others, especially in chemistry class. SMITH. GRETCHEN “Jill Rationing Board 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Assembly 4; Manager of Curtis Campaign 4. Personality and character! And Jill has plenty of both. She is one of those people who make good at whatever they do whether it's in school or out. Jill is the live wire of the class and her p »p on the basketball floor made her tops. She joined us her junior year but now we wonder how we ever got along without her. STOCKWELL. MARJORIE “Marj Glee Club 1. 2. 3. 4; Stunt Night 1,2; Home Room Activities 1. 2, 3. 4; Assembly 1, 3, 4; All State Music Festival 1, 2. 4; Operetta 1, 2, 3; Sophomore Night 2; Style Show 2; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Band 2, 3, 4; Patratores 3; Clean Up Campaign 3; First Aid 3; Girls Sextette 4; Senior Play committee 4; Yearbook Staff 4. Can’t you see her calming your fever in her quiet efficient way a few years from now. Always willing to help, we know she'll make a swell nurse especially if she sings to them as she has in sextette. Though she'd rather remain quietly in the back ground, her talents have kept her up front all during high school. SUMMARSELL. ERMA Till Stunt Night Committee 3; Home Room Activities 4; Senior Ball 4; Basketball 4; Concert Usher 4; Ticket Committee Senior Dance 4. Erma left us for Florida her Junior year but we more than welcomed her back this year. We like the southern way of dancing and Erma really knows how it’s done. She plans to be a hairdresser. Don't throw your customers as you do the basketball, Erma. 28

Different! Original! “Say did I ever tell you? That’s Pete, whom you see before you flashing a showy tie and an equally showy shirt. Maybe it’s corny, but nevertheless he manages to keep you laughing, especially with his stories of adolescent youth as seen at Camp Abnaki. PIERCE. VIOLET Vi Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Freshman Dramatic Club; F. H. V. 1; All-State Music Festival 2. 4; First Aid 3, Rationing Board 3; Junior Prom 3; War Bond Saleswoman 3; Operetta 3; Harvest Hop 3; Senior Ball 4; Prize Speaking 4; Senior Play 4; Dramatic Club 4. It wasn't until her senior year that Violet let us know her real abilities. Then as the winner of Prize Speaking and as the lead in “Saturday Evening Ghost she really blossomed out. We notice that in the corner of Room 5 where Violet sits heads are always turned in her direction is she giving you a new slant on the Commercial Course or are you teasing her to see her blush, girls? The business world will find an attractive and efficient secretary when “Vi answers the “HELP-WANTED” ad. ROGENSKI. FRANCES 'Fanny F. H. V. 1. 2; Band Majorette 1; Style Show 1. 2; Home Room Activities 1. 2. 4; War Bond Saleswoman 3; Harvest Hop 3; Stunt Night 3; Junior Prom 3; Yegg Dance 4; Seventh Grade Reception 4; Hartford Times 4; Assemblies 3. 4; Senior Ball; Black Market Pledges 4. Want to know how many calories in your diet? Just ask “Fanny who has been making dietetics her hobby while in high school. She also studied clothes and can tell you the do’s and don’ts of what to wear. SANTAW. FLORA Flo Glee Club 3. 4; Concer . 3, 4; Newspaper 3; Assemblies 3, 4; Ration-in?; Board 3; Junior Prom 3; Stunt Night 4. Seen the latest show? If you haven’t you’ll find “Flo in the lobby waiting to sell you a ticket. She’s only been here two years but that was long enough to show us that Leb's loss was our gain. 27

WHITE. BARBARA “Barb Home Room Activities 3; Glee Club 3; Stunt Night 3. A quiet redhead! That’s unusual, hut then “Barb” is unusual. Quiet and charming, she unobtrusively worked her way into our hearts. On the dance floor though, you'll find she’s not quite so quiet and she makes a nice partner. WITHINGTON. MADELINE Mad Home Room Activities 1, 2. 3, 4; Assemblies 1, 4; Patratores 2, 3; Clean Up Campaign 3; Senior Ball 4. Well known to only a few but always to be found with a quiet smile, that’s Madeline. It was probably Madeline's expert work that sent your skirt or pants back from the laundry neatly mended. We feel she must be at home helping others to be neat for she’s always neat herself. WOOD. RICHARD Dick Natural History Club 1; Chess Club 1; Art Club 1; Assembly 1; Dincing Club 2; Clean Up Campaign 3; Horn. Room Vice-President 4; Stunt Night 4; Senior Ball 4; Paper Drive 4. “Dick's philosophy of “Why do today what can be done tomorrow?” has made his high school days one long happy vacation. A quick wit and a ready smile have managed so far to get him out of all crises and we hope they work on the tough top sergeant. And just look at those curls! They're the envy of every girl. WOOD. SHIRLEY Woody Basketball 1, 2. 3. 4; Stunt Night 1; Home Room Activities 1. 2, 3; B wling Club 1; Style Show 1; Band 2; Newspaper 2, 3; Graduation Usher 2; Ration Board 3; Scrap Drive 3; War Bond Sales Chairman 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Ball 4. Here is the other Wood twin of ‘Greenwood and Wood.' Shirley's pretty teeth and smile are surely outstanding. Her basketball playing was another addition to the class's record. Someone told us she was a night-hawk, but then, can you blame the boys? 29
