MARY HAGAR TERRY “Ever fair and ever young.” Attractive Mary—a ski enthusiast—dreams of far-off Switzerland, but does all right for herself here in Lex- ington.

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. Efficient and neat, she'll find lit- tle difficulty in overcoming competition in the business world. Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3. ALBERT GENETTI GUBB “Athletic—vigor.”’ “Gub,” popular president of the Senior class, leaves a fine record behind him. His zeal as a student, his extensive athletic ability, and’ his willingness to work make him an all-round fellow. moccer a1, 2, 33 .

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 ]

MAE HANNA CHIC ‘It is good to look upon her cheerful mood.” Chie, a lover of life, enjoys singing and dancing. Another of our jitterbugs, she can really dance.

GLORIA HANSON TERRY “Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece.” Graceful Gloria is the goldilocks of the class. And she knows just what to do with her enviable blond tresses. Although the merest bit shy, she is a real friend, to those , ere, LE . GEORGE HARMON Kherge “T value science, none can prize it more.” Rather indifferent to classical subjects, but none-the- © . less capable. George’s inclinations are mathematical. He exercises his technical learnings by frequent sessions at a chess board. Soceer 1, 2, 3; Tennis 1, 2, 2; Chess Club 3; Math Club 3. BARBARA HATFIELD BARBY “Size 1s no indication of ability.” Petite Barby—that animated wisp of personality—is an expert swimmer, an extensive reader, a smooth dancer, and an energetic dabbler in everything from writing poetry to playing (7?) tennis. Oh, yes, and we want to say she’s partial to Glenn Miller’s serenades!

WALTER HEMMINGSON WALLY $b of : JY Ce “A popular combination of student and athlete.

HERVEY HEYWOOD A little nonsense now and then.” Hervey has a wry sense of humor and a super-smooth style of dancing. He craves less homework and more leisure to devote to aviation and photography. His name graces the Honor Roll, so we conclude that he gets along without the leisure very well. Track 2; Yearbook 3; Math Club 2; Aviation 3. BARBARA HILLIARD BARBIE “Serene, resolute, and still.’ Barbara, quiet and sincere, is a real friend and an undaunted worker. When a task needs to be done, she sticks to it until it’s done correctly.
