ROBER DG. COOPER —BOod Bob has no monopoly on blushes, but h e could provide excellent competition for the title of the shyest male in the class. Notwithstanding his natural quiet, he re- veals a joyous personality practically all the time. He can boast with cause about his many friends since they do exist in numbers. Enmities, if any, are probably in- spired by jealousy of his curly hair. Bob excels in many sports and there is never a give up sign in his fight for victory. He is a Hercules’ conquest, and efforts promise chemical engineering.

Peggy is ever on hand when a gay time looms nigh, which does not alter the fact that she gives generously of her time and labor to make events and activities successful. She enjoys dancing and rollerskating, and, believe it or not, but take heed ye hearty males, she is an especially good cook. Judging from her yesterdays, we feel justified in proclaiming her a positive success in the coming years. A.A. 2, 3; Usher, Reception; Thanksgiving Dance Com- mittee 4; Program, Class Play. ROSES), (DOMEILE “Oozie’ Rose impresses you as an exceedingly quiet and re- served person. But a c.oser association with her, and a deeper knowledge of her character, reveals her as a most amiable and gay companion. She can be well commended for her ability to get along. An excellent typist, her fly- ing fingers make short work of any task, (and her talent in that line has proved an asset for many a school pro- ject). Her favorite leisure moments are those which in- clude bowling or dancing. All in all, a serene sky is predicted for Rose’s personal and business worlds.

JOAN A. BROOKS ae Joan became a welcome addition to the class in the eighth grade, and since then, has shared equally in the weals and woes of the group. She owns an ample re- serve of shyness, a sizable control of temper, and a great deal of patience and understanding. Ii!ness forced her out of basketball and softball. Her hobbies are many, including clay animals and classical phonograph records. Her friendliness and personality guarantee her work as a future nurse.

LOUISE 13 -BUGKE “Bucky” Lively and fun-loving, Bucky has definitely added that certain something to our class. Her good-natured ways and pleasant disposition have endeared her to many at M. H. S., while her diligence and capability have ranked her high among the teachers. Always cheerful and cooperative, Bucky can be counted on to assist in any special project. She is very much interested in sports, and has been a dependable forward on the Green Hornettes basketball team; also her ability as a cheerleader has been quite a factor in helping the cheering squad win a cup for outstanding performance. Best of luck from all your Senior mates.

JOAN G. CAPEK “CGapy Sociability and pleasantness are outstanding features of Joan’s spiritual make-up. Along that line, she rates one of the top spots among all the members of the class. She has a knack of discovering something enjoyable in everything she does, and such talent makes for a most agreeable companion at all times. All sports strike a responding chord within her, even though she stresses Swimming and basketball in her own life. She envisions no definite occupation for post-school time, but our best wishes accompany her ultimate choice.

LAWRENCE A. D’AGOSTINO “Doug Larry is very close to the top in terms of popularity. He excels in football, and barring accidents, he should keep right on gaining recognition in that particular field. During the ’46 season, he was voted a position on the Bristol County All-Star eleven, the only member of our team to attain that distinction. A pleasing personality, a friendly attitude, and frequent guffaws that resound far and wide, are other characteristics. The girls term his dancing expert. Since Larry rates high scholastically, we visualize naught but suecess in his chosen aim at an engineering degree.

ROBERT M. DELONG “Bob” Versatile and outstanding in athletics is Bob, the captain of our football team. He is invaluable on dance committees, and he displays a certain ingenuity in the art of decoration. Tall, dark and handsome, he is regularly seen on the dance floor at Saturday night hops. Friendliness and a lively sense of humor con- tribute to make Bob one of our most popular boys. His scholastic brilliance has been such that we foresee no serious obstacle in his studies of veterinary medicine at Massachusetts State College.

Ay BE LYDON TAIN “Shortie” Many people opine that Betty is the ideal representation of a serious mein. Those who support that view have seen her only when deeply engrossed in work or thought. The many of us who have associated with her in recrea- tional activities had no difficulty discovering the gay blade she really is. Her popularity with teachers and companions is thereby justified. Pastimes include books, Bette Davis’ movies, and Ink Spot records. She is also sports-minded, and contributes greatly to social events. Diligence and dependability spell her future prosperity.
