JOAN RINDFLEISCH Joanie Not a word spoke she more than was necessary. Joan ' s philosophy is Speak little and hear more , and she certainly goes by it. One hardly knows she is present in class, yet she is a good scholar and will answer immediately and correctly if called upon. She always has a smile and uses it often. In her career as a Medical Secretary this will be a valuable asset and we know that she will make a successful future for herself. Best of luck, Joan.

Why can ' t they all be contented like me? Babs, the most mischievous and talkative girl of the senior class, can be easily recognized by her witty remarks and her lilting laugh. Although Babs keeps Mr. Eaton constantly on his toes in U. S. History class, she usually gets her work in on time. Babs aspires to become a nurse. We know that with the help of her wonderful sense of humor the recovery of her patients will be amazingly speedy. Good luck, Babs. Junior Prom Committee 3; Chorus 3: Co-Manager of Girls ' Basketball 4 RAYMOND TENKEN Ray I profess not talking; only this, Let each man do his best. Ray, the Spike Jones of West Boylston, was made famous by his great impersonation of Chloe. He has a large collection of Spike Jones ' records and the class considers him their expert on musical de- preciation. His helpfulness and industry as assistant manager of the basketball squad and as chief pro- jectionist make him a great asset to M. E. H. S. Ray is quiet and a bit shy, but has a great sense of humor which should make him a great success in life.

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.
