1940 - - - - - LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL THERESA FRADETTE TREE “A pleasant girl with a pleasant smile.” Theresa—doll-like and siender—delights in reading; not the too serious type, but enjoyable fiction. She spends a large portion of her time in the theatre, and the remaining in hiking. Yearbook; Chorus 38. MARY FRANCESCHELLI “The force of her own merit makes her way.’ y Mary is swift to see a joke—swift to come to the point of anything. As kind-hearted as she is quick- tempered, she makes and keeps many friends. Because of varied abilities and interests, she finds pleasure in everything. epouieht 35 0: G. A. O. A. T. 38. ELIZABETH FRICHETTE BETTY “A cheerful girl is a friend to all.’ Betty, conscientious and dependable, takes a great in- terest in her school work. Everything she undertakes is done with enthusiasm.

Like many of his muscular compatriots, he’s a king of the bowling alleys. And we mean—king! ! Soecer 1; Baseball 2, 3; Athletic Club 3. GORDON GILLINGHAM GILL “Saying little, thinking much.” To be prized is Gordon’s virtue of silence; when he does speak it is worthwhile. We don’t know just what got him started on it, but Gordon collects old watches. Plenty of time on hand! CHARLES GLASS Ohne CHARLIE A silent, shy, peace-loving man.” Charlie needs no introduction because everybody knows Charlie; everybody knows his bashful grin and self-conscious gait. His is a sincere affection for school, an earnest desire to make good. Football 1, 2; Track 1, 2; Athletic Club 3. ELEANOR GRAHAM SKIP “Good nature is always remembered.” Constantly on the go, Eleanor accompanies her action with chatter and a long series of wise cracks. She is active in every sport, both summer and winter. Shop Club 3. [15 ]

ARTHUR FARNHAM Bo “Young fellows will be young fellows.” Bo, the trickiest gum-chewer in town, with his en- gaging personality, could make even Hedy Lamarr his slave.

She is far more in- terested in home economics. Cooking and faney work occupy her attention. With such a charming smile, no wonder her results are ‘“‘par excellence.” Committees 3. DOROTHY FIGENBAUM Dor “Sill waters run deep.” Studious Dot can always take time out to plunk on the piano and to indulge in her favorite sports, namely skiimg and skating. Furthermore, we’ve got to hand it to her—she knows how and when to laugh. Field Hockey 3; Yearbook; French Club 1; O. G.

Drowsy and inert in school, Bob never lacks the energy to be entertaining. : Tennis 2; Hockey 3; Music Club 3. BENJAMIN FORBES BuTCHY “Oh, that bashful young lad.” Bashful Butch is all-scholastic right wing in hockey, backfield in football, an alert second baseman on the diamond. Despite his ability, he’s most modest—reason number one for his popularity! Baseball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 1, 2, 8; Athletic Club 3. L 14 J
