KR FRANK BERRY “He ty wise who talks bud ittle.’ Guilty of being neat and well-dressed, this blonde Adonis must have foreseen, in his cradle-days, the fu- ture of aviation. With time on his hands, he turns to work on the wings. Aviation Club 3.

Another hook and pole wield- er, George fishes not only with the accepted equipment, but also with a camera. Chess Club 38. — . J STUART BRODERIC “There's mischief in this little man!’ Stu — comical, clever, popular—rates sky-high as a student and athlete. He is interested in everything from mountains to Raleighs. His witticisms and ingenuity 5 are boundless; his list of accomplishments, overwhelm- ing. Soccer 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 2, 3; Committees 3; French Club 3. ; LOIS BURNHAM BurTcit “Who beat her name on the drum of the world’s ear.” Rather a sharp contrast to Lois’s quiet personality is her rare talent as a drummer. No one who has seen ker in action could ever forget the striking sight—and sound. Committees 8; Band 1, 2, 3; Orchestra 1, 2, 3. NUNZIO CAMERATO Muzzy “Of spirit still and quiet.” Quiet, conservative Nunzio possesses a rare aptitude for mechanics as well as a great fondness for read- ing—especially adventure stories of the kind that test your imagination. WILLIAM CANN BILL “Be original! Borrowed wit is the poorest.” A pun, of course, is the lowest form of humor, but we must concede that Bill’s spontaneous atrocities inject new life into punning. Scholastically, nothing stands in his way. His argumentive powers and logic see him through. ; Spotlight 2, 3; Junior Classical League 3; Foreign Policy Club 3; Chess Club 2; Committees 3. the J ee ee

LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL - - - - - 1940 DAISY ASHBY Daisy MAE ‘Variety is the spice of life.” Daisy can truthfullyesbe called the Eleanora Sears of Bedford. e’re not quite certain whether she has hung up any alltime records in her walks, but it appears to be her hobby. @ ue 71 PbS ny RIGGSIE weller in the house of mirth.” Who d®res deny that Mary gets her share of enjoy- ment from life? Beauty culture holds the most interest for her, but we’re worried—what if her giggles become ensnarled in the tresses of her customers! EARL: ATWOOD “Men of few words are the best men.” Earl’s interests are entirely in keeping with his sex. Stamp collecting, whacking a baseball, messing around rith mechanisms—all these, just as so many boys, Earl vs. He rather thinks he’ll enter Wentworth Institute he fall. BARBARA BAILEY BABS “Happy I am; from care ’'m free.” Filled with the joy of living, shining with an “I have no worries’ attitude, hustling Babs is ever seek- : J ing new things to do. She goes to schoo! simply because duty compels her. THEODORE BALL TED “Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it.” Ted isn’t any too interested in seats of greater learn- ing. A theatre seat is his favorite haunt. His business head must . have evolved from counting over the eashier’s change. rack le MARGARET BANKS PEGGY “Ouiet and reserved.” Peggy—a wee, winsome miss—admits her dislike of winter sports; she’d rather play tennis. Her photo- svaphie collection of famous people grows each day. Interesting hobby, no? Foreign Correspondence 3; Chorus 1. RUTH BEACH RUTHU: “Come, my best friends, my books! Lead me on!” A good book, a box of chocolates, and a soft couch suit Ruthie fine. She enjoys listening to Miller, Shaw. ete., and thinks skating is fun, but would rather sit and watch. WILLIAM BEAN BIL “Talking pays no toll.’ Yes, he’s quiet and unassuming, but a regular fellow. He likes to fool around with machinery in the form of ears. And speaking: of regular, he proved to be a pleasant, but regular ‘‘American problem’’ in history! [8]

LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL : 1940 BARBARA CAOQUETTE BARBIE “On the light fantastic toe.” When we were knee high, we watched little Barbie dance. Still small, we see her today as one of the class’ eharming members. Still a dancer, we often see her perform upon the stage. Yearbook 8; French Club 3; Musie Club 3; Commit- tees 1, 2, 3; Student Council 8. HERBERT CARLSON aged 1 ae “ Twas natural to please.” A sports enthusiast, an obliging classmate, and a capable Seout is genial Herbie, whose easy-going man- ner has won him many friends. Travel in any form is his hobby and his motto is ‘‘See America First.’ Band 2, 3; Committees 3. ARLENE CARR “A light heart lives long.’ She comes, of course, but to Arlene school is an un- popular necessity. Very modest and quiet in her actions, the majority of her interests lie beyond the portals of oe aisha 5 BERNADETTE CARROLL : DETTY “Ts’t not fine to dance?” Attractive and carefree, Detty dotes on swing. She’d vather dance than eat, and it is through Detty and her friends that some of our sport dances have come into being. Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3; Music Club 3; Committees 3. ALBERTA CARSON y Kirry “Her voice was ever soft—an excellent thing in a woman.” Kitty without her drawl would not be Kitty, yet her Southern intonation is inconsistent with her energy. She keeps tropical fish, studies voice, does a smooth job of swimming, and wields a red hot racquet. ockey 1, 2; Tennis 1, 2, 3; Spotlight 3; Yearbook; Plish C 3; Committees 3; Operetta 2; Chorus DELE CAVANAGH ache 3 Danes “A traveler's life for me.” Adele, quiet and sweet, has a passion for sailboats and figure skating.

Foreign Correspondence Club 3; Committees 3; Chorus Lee aoe DOROTHY CHADWICK Dor “Charm wraps her like a garment.” Sophisticated Dot dabbles successfully in art and musie. When she’s not in the throes of artistic creation or listening to a symphony, she is invariably found curled up with a book and a supply of food.
