Who's that senior with the rosy cheeks and flashy sweater coming out of the art room? Why it's none other than Ace l A party wouldn't be a good time without Ace rendering one of those hilari- ous imitations. Anna cherishes artistic ambitions, and it looks as though the Rhode Island School of Design is the next stop on the road to success, EVERETT CHILD See'st thou a man diligent in his business? Cross Country 3, 4, Glee Club 4, Beacon Staff 4, Band l, 2, 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 4, Victory Corps l, Rhode Island Honor Society. Ev , with the curly hair and keen mind, has been one of the lead- ing men on the cross-country team and in the band, where his trumpet lends that mellow touch . Chicken is heading for Worcester Poly- tech next year, where he will train as an aeronautical engineer. LOUIS CODEGA , l came home for everl The Marines' loss was a great gain for our class when we welcomed Louis this year. l-lis genial personality has gained for him a score of friends, many of whom would be only too willing to play bridge with Pop , a game he enjoys in his spare time. At a basketball game his enthusiasm is really amazing. His many fine qualities will bring him only the very best in the future. i6

3 GEORGE GIFFORD BROOKS The very flower of youth. Basketball l, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 4, Hi-Y 3, 4, Arrow Business Staff 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 4, Dramatic Club 4, Victory Corps l, Rhode Island Honor Society. That tall blond sharpster on the basketball court is our good-hu- mored Gifford, a mainstay of Peck's top class. Next year Gift will probably forsake Barrington for the Maine maritime school where he is looking forward in particular to their seasonal Caribbean cruise. We can't imagine whyl NANCY BROWN She is laughing in her sleeve at you, Band l, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club l, 2, 3, 4, B, G. A. A. 3, 4, Victory Corps l, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Senior Play 3, Girls' Basketball l, 4, Soccer 4, Field Hockey 4, Field Hockey Captain 4, Field Hockey Varsity 4, Beacon Staff 4, Arrow Business Staff 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 3, 4, All-State Chorus 4. And now we come to Nance , a gal who has helped to keep the old class rolling along its merry way for six years. The locker room will be a dull place without you and your never failing humor, Brownie, and anyone who hasn't heard one of those famous whop- pers doesn't know what he's missing! But our Nance has her se- rious side too, and, after a year or two at Katharine Gibbs, she has her eye on the radio and television studios. GLORIA ARLENE BUCKINGHAM How the wit brightens! l-low the style refines! Victory Corps l, Basketball l, 2, Library Aide 2, Glee Club l, Z, 3, 4, B. G, A. A. 3, 4, Bowling 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Arrow Business Staff 4, Arrow Literary Staff 3, 4. Bucky is a gal everyone knows. Her readiness to laugh at a joke is evidence of her sense of humor, as people coming from far and wide to her parties can tell you. Although it is rarely seen, Gloria does have a serious side and this plus her personality makes a sure com- bination which will enable her to become a successful merchandise buyer. ANASTASIA CALlTRl l laughed 'till l cried. Victory Corps l, Rhode lsland Honor Society, Beacon Staff 4, Ar- row Business Staff 4, Arrow Assistant Business Manager 4, Girls' Basketball l, B. G. A. A, 3. Anna's most outstanding characteristic is her laughing nature. Her favorite type of entertainment is dancing to swing music, but she's often seen bowling, or at basketball games. Stacia's ability as a stenographer has been proven many times by the superb job she has done as a Beacon compositor, success in the business world is as- suredly hers. i5

GRETCHEN COLLEY l know l am but summer to your heart. Dramatic Club 3, 4, Senior Play 3, Girls' Basketball l, Victory Corps l, Arrow Business Staff 3, 4, Arrow Literary Staff 3, 4, Glee Club l, 2, 3, 4, B. G. A, A. 3, 4. Remember Mrs. l-loisington , that oh-so-sophisticated grand'dame of last year's Senior play? Well, hiding behind the lorgnette was Gretch , the local Bernhardt, And have you- ever seen that flashy Ford burning up the road between Barrington and Pawtucket? Or is it W. Barrington now, Gretch ? Let's hope there are no blowouts- 'till next year, anyway, when Grouch will -transport her personality- plus and tres amusants exaggerations to l-larcum Junior College, where 'tis rumored she'll be taking many more curtain callsl ' ANNE CUZZONE Charms her modesty concealed. Beacon ' Staff 4, Arrow Business Staff 4, B. G. A. A. 3, Volleyball 3. Cootie , as she is known to her friends, is the dark-haired girl you see running around the corridors and behind the stamp booth, Al- though Anne seems quiet in class, her favorite music is jazz and her interest in sports runs toward watching football and basketball. She plans to further her education at a business school next year. CATHERINE DEANS But in quiet self-control. It would be a much calmer and more peaceful world if we all had such patience as Kay , for such self-control is like the velvet glove without the iron hand. However, we hear that you do let yourself go when it comes to bowling, Kay , and that some pretty high scores result as proof. lt's usually a long and far from smooth road that must be travelled before one's ambition is fulfilled, but with a back- ground in nursing at the Maryland Children's l-lospital, steady and faithful work and interest, your dream most certainly has a good chance of becoming a reality, and you'll be seen inthe air-a hostess! ADELlNE DE MATTEO . Loose were her jetty locks-in wavy tresses flowing. Library Aide 2. I Adeline is the gal with that gorgeous black hair, which is always immaculate in an attractive coiffure, and which has caused many to look twice. Her favorite type of entertainment is going to the movies, and we hear that she and Beth wouldn't miss Van Johnson for the world! Freckles would like to be a hairdresser, and we're sure that if practice makes perfect is true, Adeline will be a very capable beautician. l7
