Grace Girard “It’s nice to be natural When you’re naturally nice.” Grace, better known as ‘Bunty”, is a lively girl, full of mischief, and always ready to take part in a merry trick. In the cafeteria after school, you could hear her cheerful voice singing out above the clatter of dishes and trays. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; Archery 1; Baton Twirler 4; Operetta 3, 4; Cafeteria 3, 4; Steering Committee 4; Junior Prom Committee 3. Gwyneth Gunn “Dresses to sit in and stand in and walk in Dresses to dance in and flirt in and talk in.” Short, cute, and flirtatious, “Gwenny” is our class boy- ologist. Her lively spirit in cheerleading won her the title of co-head cheerleader this year. Being one of the best-dressed girls in the class, “Gwenny” has shown excellent taste in clothing.

Louise Gwinn “I say no more than I should say.” Although Louise may appear subdued, she is actually quite carefree and lively. During her excess waking hours she dabbles very proficiently in oils, baby sits, or dates Donnie. Although she has no plans for next year as yet, we wish her happiness and good luck in the future. Lillian Hawkes “As merry as the day is long.” Lillian’s unsuppressed giggle and dimpled smile are proof of her lively character. When she isn’t busy with her varying dates she can be seen chauffeuring her many friends around in the family car.

Harriet Heard “Good health and good sense Are two of life’s greatest blessings.” Harriet, who comes from the Linebrook region, is often seen sporting about the town in her tiny car or in the company of a certain red-haired lad from Topsfield. Harriet’s cheerful and friendly attitude is an asset to our class. Glee Club 1; Treasurer, French Club 4; Cub Staff 1, 2, 3; Tiger Staff. 9

Letitia Day “Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air.” “Titia’s” training in cooking and housekeeping will form a good combination for an ideal housewife in the not- too-distant future. Titia is gifted with a sparkling-eyed beauty and sweet disposition. Along with other activi- ties she has been an able treasurer for two years. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; Operetta 3, 4; Class Officer 1, 4; Baton Twirler 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee; Tiger Staff; Class Celebrity; Cashier; Senior Committees. Richard Dort “A-wandering, a-wandering, Until the day I die.” “Butch” must enjoy going to Ipswich High as he travels to school every morning from Magnolia. The senior class is proud to have him with us. Football 1 ; Letter 1. Phyllis Gauthier “A goodly maid both calm and steady Her willing hands are ever ready.” Genial, subdued, and gracious is our Phyllis. Her warm smile and sense of humor have lightened many an after- noon’s work in cafeteria. Phyllis is planning to enter nurses’ training next year, and we know that she pos- sesses the ability and character necessary for a com- petent nurse. Archery 1. Janet Gillis “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight’s, too, her dusky hair.” Dark-haired “Cappy” has been one of the faithful cook- ing class girls whose hard work brings us our lunches. We know that she will competently fill any position that she may gain in the future, and we all wish her the best of luck. Glee Club 1, 2; Baton Twirler 1, 2; Cafeteria 3, 4; Choir 3, 4; Operetta 4; Tiger Staff; Benefit Show. Josephine Gillis “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of Christianity.” A light heart and a light foot form a perfect combina- tion for a good dancer, and “Joey”, who is always ready to laugh gayly with everyone, possesses both of these treasures. We know that she will succeed in her desire to be a dancing teacher. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; Operetta 3, 4; Cafeteria 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Benefit Show 4. 7

Helen Hill “A sunny disposition is the very soul of success.” Helen has helped in serving us many meals in cafeteria. A good seamstress with a mischievous air, Helen keeps herself busy talking with the girls in sewing class. Her spare time is occupied with writing letters to “Jackie”, who is in the Navy. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3; Cafeteria 3, 4; Cap and Gown Committee 4. James Hill “Act well your- part.” Although Jim was voted our class pessimist, his ready smile and pleasing disposition would seem to indicate that this was not a fitting title. Jim proved his ability as an actor by his excellent portrayal of “Griggs”, the butler, in the Senior Play. Most of his outside time is dedicated to art at which he is very proficient. Any school morning he might have been seen running up Paradise Road in his efforts to catch the bus.

Carole Homans “A sweet disposition is more valuable than gold.” Carole, one of the quieter members of our class, can often be seen in Cafeteria or with Grace and Louise. Her interest in and ability to carry through all her activities plus her ready smile make her well liked by us all. Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Choir 4; Cub Typist 4; Tiger Typist 4; Sunshine Committee 4; Basketball 1, 2. Kenneth Hood “Little Master Mischievous, that’s the name for you.” “Hoodie” was voted the best boy dancer in his class. His keen interest and ability are shown on the basket- ball court. Always joking with everyone, “Hoodie” is unpredictable, but a lot of fun. Football 1, 4; Letter 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Letter 4; Class Celebrity; Benefit Show 4; Junior Prom Com- mittee. Jere Hovey “A little nonsense, now and then Is relished by the best of men.” Jere, who is our class clown, can often be seen living- up to his title in second period English class. Although the First National occupies most of his time, “Decker” always has a happy smile and a friendly word for every- one. With his likable manner and keen sense of humor, we’re sure Jere will be a success. Boys’ Glee Club 2; Tiger Staff 4; Benefit Show 4; Class Celebrity 4. 9
