WINIFRED HUBBARD Winnie O Music, sphere-descended maid, Friend of Pleasure, Wisdom ' s aid! Winnie, the girl with the graceful walk and dignified manner, is not only the most studious and the most versatile senior but she is also the most argumentative. Her personality and the ability to play the piano well will get her far into the world. What would the students of M. E. H. S. have done if they hadn ' t had Winnie to pound out sweet music to their listening ears? We are sure that with all her talent she will go far in her musical career at Vermont Junior College. Good luck, Winnie!

The attractive blonde sitting in the second row can often be heard laughing at something. Pearl is rarely frowning and most often smiling. Her skill in the commercial department has proved a great help to the class. Pearl has her driver ' s license and usually her car is full as she drives to and from school. She plans to be an office secretary. Some firm will be lucky to have Pearl on its office staff. Best of luck. Pearl!

If you walk into M. E. H. S. some day and walk down the corridor toward Room No. 1, you will hear a ringing voice proclaiming, No, Mr. Eaton, 1 don ' t think that ' s so! Well, that ' s our boy Howie Johnston. Charming and good-looking, he is very popular with everyone, especially with the members of the oppo- site sex. A very busy boy, with all his offices and outside activities, Howie still manages to keep his A-plus marks. He is planning to go to college and with his charm and ability he ' ll make a good success story later on. Good luck, Howie.

ROBERT DERRAH Bob ' I like work; it fascinates me. 1 could sit and look at it for hours. While walking along the corridor you may hear a somewhat raucous laugh echoing throughout Major Edwards. You know without a second thought that it belongs to Bob Derrah. If it weren ' t for Bob ' s laughing at nothing, our study halls wouldn ' t be the same. He is interested in mathematics, and with his mathematical mind, we know he will go far. Good luck. Bob! Opportunity is yours for the taking!

An excellent thing in woman. One of the most friendly and efficient girls of the senior class is Jeanette Deschenes. Her excellent ability in the commercial department has been a great asset to Edwards High. Her friendly and generous smile together with a pleasing personality make up the girl Most Likely to Succeed. Jeanette plans to be a nurse. Surely the Women in White will receive a competent and charming member in their illustrious corps.

RICHARD NOVIA Dick Much learning hath he that is not in books. Dick is one of the most helpful members of the senior c lass in the class and on the basketball floor. He is a very serious athlete and when he makes a move in sports, you can always be sure it ' s a right one. Dick works hard as a carpenter in his spare time, which gives him little time for leisure. Although he hasn ' t decided what to do when he graduates we all know that he will do well in anything he undertakes.

A happy disposition is the basis of a happy life and Ann has certainly proved this true. The monot- ony of any study hall or class is usually broken by her jolly laughter. Ann is the Lily Pons of the class. Although playing the piano is one of her many abilities, Ann is going to leave that as a hobby for she plans to be a hairdresser. Who knows, perhaps she will open a beauty salon in West Boylston. Good luck, Ann!

Bruce is the tall speed boy of the senior class. Although he is somewhat serious at times, this is just a disguise for some of that wit which is concealed so well. Bruce was very helpful to his classmates and school in securing the football trophy. He would like to become a mechanic, and we know that with his speed he will be successful. Good luck, Bruce.
