JOHN L. KANE “Johnny” Many a dull moment has been made happy by Johnny’s unusual interruptions in the class rooms. A sharp and natural critic, his intellect finds satisfaction only in the exclusion of roundabout measures; he likes his presenta- tions straight from the shoulder. He feels at home on the gridiron and the court, but shines particularly on the track, which team he captained to glorious results. He also swims and skis, but his greatest leg exertion is still in the delivery of the United States mail. Track 2, 3, 4; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Yearbook Board; Stage and Properties, Class Play; Math Club 2, 3; Science Club 3; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4. ANNE M. KELLEY “Bunny” Beautiful blue eyes, you say? And light brown hair; and a smiling face? Why, yes, that is Anne Kelley! This fair specimen of the gentler sex adds sturdiness to looks, for she shines brilliantly as a forward on the varsity basketball squad, and her ability has saved many a game. Her interests also center on practically all sports. Anne’s company spells fun, and her bubbling character makes her an all around favorite. To all this, add a deep intellectual capacity, and you shall agree that Anne’s tomorrows take on the rosy hue of a promising success.

DAVID LL KOUKROE “Dave” Dave hits about the average mark on the scales as far as height and weight are concerned. He is light of complexion, sports rather rugged bones, and normally hides himself behind a pair of bespectacled, blue eyes that are always cheerful. The vision of his future has not yet been focused upon any definite objective, but the clearest picture appears to be the family heirloom, gladioli, with a bit of general farming thrown in. No further studies are contemplated at present. Leisures are taken up by movies, a model railroad, skiing, and the great outdoors.

THOMAS R. GODDARD Lom One of the best all around athletes at M. H. S., Tommy participates actively in all sports. He is outstanding in football and well-known for his vigorous charges through the line. Although happy-go-lucky, Tommy is a hard worker and can be depended upon to carry his share of any burden. He estimates trapping and swimming as A-1 occupations, likes fishing and pool playing and also finds time to act as Junior Assistant Secoutmaster. Because of his success in athletics, we expect Tommy to create for himself a place in the world of sports. Track 2, 3, 4; Math Club 2, 3; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Decorating, Reception; Stage and Properties, Class Play. RUTH E. GORDON “Ruthie” Dark and petite are the two terms that outwardly qualify Ruth, first and foremost. Judging, though, from the friendships she has acquired in the past few years, her intellectual and moral qualifications must be vast and many in numbers. Her greatest enjoyments are roller- skating, classical music, and radio comics, while Guy Madison is her supreme Hollywood thrill. She has no plans for further studies, and if she has her way, the telephone company will greet her as an employee before very long. A.A. 3, 4; Usher, Class Play; Decorating, Reception. ROBERT G. HERRICK “Bob” Possessed with a jovial disposition, a constant smile, and a ready sense of humor, it is no wonder that Bob has so many friends within and without the school. It is quite the general sentiment that he belongs among the best dressed. An ardent sports lover, he devotes special attention to football and basketball. On his own, much of his time goes to bowling, dancing, and movies. Be- coming a coach would satisfy one of his persistent desires.

ROX-ELLENE LaPLANTE Rox Roxy is a small, serious brunette. In her idle hours she reads, listens to the radio, and plays the piano. Her hobby is painting. Work on the farm deprives her of excessive free time; yet she manages to bowl, dance, ice skate, swim, play basketball and softball. Ingrid Berg- man and Dorothy McGuire are her idols. Her pet peeves are jazz and trigonometry. We wish her success along the lines of interior decorating which she has made the profession of her dreams. Glee Club 2, 3; Math Club 3; Latin Club 4; Yearbook Board; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Usher, Reception; Tatler 4; Publicity, Class Play. VIRGINIA Ake MacDONALD “Gini” Generous at play, conscientious at work, depict Virginia quite well. Difficulties in class have been overcome by relentless diligence to the task on hand, even if the complications of the English language have often been cause of intellectual irritations. She plays piano, indulges in letter writing, while persistent rumors introduce her as a fine seamstress and a good cook. Hope for the future has maintained two avenues open: she will either be a dietitian or a teacher of home economics. Math Club 2; Pan-American Club 3; Stage and Prop- erties, Class Play; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Usher, Reception. ROBERG Be MackHACHLAN, JR: “Bob” Refined, studious, friendly are only a few of the ad- jectives that have been applied to Bob time and time again. Top honors have rewarded an adept combination of skill and lasting labor, and the incessant sparkle of his active mind make all subjects a pleasure to him. Stamp- collecting, photography, and music (Beethoven to Boogie) fill in during spare hours. It seems that classes in analytic chemistry at Brown University will inherit this student.
