These are not, however, her only accomplishments. She is a cheerleader, and is the best forward on the seniors basketball team. One cannot think of Rita without thinking of her acrobatics. too.

Wed is decidedly a man's man. but the girls do all they possibly can to make it otherwise. Until the middle of this year, Wed's motto was I Won't Dance . Ah, but things are changed now!--he's finally succumbed. Wed was the one who bowled the opposing lines over in our football games. He always had that reserve strength for the last play. Wed thinks he may be back next year. Say the undergraduates-here's hopfng. HOLDEN REMINGTON Baseball 4. Peewee is the hilarious, hectic lad from West Barrington. We hear it's quite a treat to see little-man-'Remington and big-man- Hawkes playingf Peewee is famous for his jokes, He has been a source of worry for many a teacher in years past, but he's as popular with them as with the rest of the school.

MARY STEARNS Basketball 3: D. A. R. Award 4: Arrow Literary Staff 3: Editor-in- Chief 4: Latin Club 4: Rhode Island Honor Society. Did you ask for a tall, good-looking girl with the brain of a wizard? We're quite sure that Mary is the one for whom you are looking. We might also add that she has a gift of gab-page Celeste! Thus far this year, she has done very nicely without having any childish diseases. It is indeed a record! There is no need to say that she is a popular and very likeable girl: the D, A. R. award proved that. Next year, this lass goes to Smith. EVELYN MARIE TERRIEAU If we may take our little glass globe in hand and prophesy, we should say that Evie will be a dress designer of the future. Bar- rington is not much appreciated by this young lady, although she seems to enjoy herself in study hall. She amuses herself at Briggs Beach winter, summer and fa'l. We remember, for we used her bath house at the Latin Class Outing. When asked who her favorite movie star is, Evie of course answers, Joan Crawford . Bon Voyage! , , . LAURA ELIZABETH TIERNEY Class Treasurer l-2-344: Basketball 4: Glce Club I-4: flrrow Literary Staff 4: Rhode Island Honor Society. Laura has been our gold-digger treasurer for four years. We're quite used to her pleas for money, but if she only knew how much it hurts to dig into one's pocket! Laura is going to be a school teacher, However, its hard to imagine anyone so small behind 21 large desk. Her pupils will have to keep their eyes on her, for she's apt to break into a dance during a geography recitation. If her pupils like her as much as we do, there'll be many a red app'e on her desk. ARTHUR BRINTNALL TINGLEY, JR. flrrow Business Staff 4. Here we have Buddy, the best dressed boy in the class. We girls :ertainly admire his snappy combinations. Bud is the answer to the question, Why do teachers get gray hair? He and John are practically inseparable: even home-room period finds them chatter- ing. Could it be that their interests lie in the same place? In our reunion of 1947, we'll remember Buddy as the boy with the tooth- picks. Good luck at Vermont Academy! 27
