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

 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. A. B. 2. 3, 4; French Club 2. 3. 4; Military Drill 3; Bond Drive 3; Operetta 3; Baseball 3; Clean Up Committee 4; Senior Ball 4; Boys Quartet 4; Prize Speaking 4; Yearbook Staff. 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

WRIGHT. HAROLD “Tuffy Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3. 4; Assembly 1. 4; Dancing Club 2, 3; Stunt Night 2, 3, 4; French Club 2, 3; Home Room Activities 2; Operetta 3; Dramatic Club 3. 4; Military Drill; Home Room Treasurer 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Prise Speaking 4. “Tuffy” is our class athlete—a good all round fellow and loads of fun to know. We understand that the Army Air Corps is going to take charge of him for awhile but after the war you'll find Tuffy where his heart lies, “back on the farm with his Jersey cows. WRIGHT. MARJORIE “Marge’ Basketball 1; Home Room Activities 1. 2; Style Show 1; Patratores 2, 3; Stunt Night 2, 3. 4; Junior Prom 3; First Aid 3; Sadie Hawkins Dance 2; Hartford Times 4; Town Warning Center 4; Senior Play Committee 4; Scrap Drive 3; Yearbook Staff 4; Seventh Grade Reception 4. The third Marge of our class also seems destined to become a nurse. Quietly lending a hand and smoothing troubled waters Marge is always on hand. We have enjoyed having her a member of the illustrious class of 44. WRIGHT. STANLEY Slati Glee Club I. 2. 3. 4; Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4; Football I. 2. 3. 4; Baseball 1; French Club 2. 3; Boys State 3; Dancing Club 3; Military Drill 3; Operetta, 3; All State Music Festival 2. 4; Boys Quartet 3. 4; Home Room President 4; Glee Club President 4; Senior Ball 4; Senior Play 4; Home Room Activities 4; Class Vice-President 4; Prize Speaking 4; Dramatic Club pr sident 4; P. T. A. Convention 4; Operetta 2x Yearbook 4; Seventh Grade Reception. Last but by no means least! Stan's fine singing has charmed us on many occasions but never more than when he sang Bury me not on the lone prairie in assembly. His ability to portray personalities of the suave type has been a help to all dramatic attempts of the class When you're near him you can't help feeling happy for he's never seen without his infectious grin and good spirits.
