CORINNE? bo PUEPMAN “Corinne” If all the girls in school could only inherit Corinne’s cheery disposition! Her touch of neatness and taste of clothes, place her among the uppermost models of M. H. S. styles. A summation of her character embodies three words with certainty: pretty, polite, popular. She is an excellent guard in basketball, as many opposing for- wards have been able to discover. Her business plans lead us to believe she will be a competent secretary for some lucky boss.

HEBBEN SROUIGLEY “Slim” Helen’s jovial personality and ever-smiling face have won her a legion of friends during her stay at M. H. S. (including quite a few male admirers at that). Her pleasantness makes her popularity a well deserved qualification. Among her many enjoyments, dancing and rollerskating take definite precedence. Since Helen has not revealed any of her ambitions for the future, we shall merely state that our best wishes accompany her in whatever path she chooses to follow.

LAURA F. PALLADINO “Laurie Joviality and Laurie make a good pair. Show us this young lady sad and we shall immediately correspond with Ripley. Well groomed in manners, she circulates with ease at social gatherings and endeavors to make others react in like manner. She is said to possess talents in hairdressing, while her hobbyland includes sewing, to the extent of fashioning some of her personal wear. Off- hours find her reading, bowling or playing basketball. Her choice of career awaits further consideration. A.A. 2, 3; Basketball 3, 4; Tatler 3, 4; Co-chairman on Stage Properties, Class Play; Usher, Reception 3; Year- book Board. GEORGE L. PHILEIBS “Buster A newcomer to M. H. S., George is already well-known for his knowledge of science and history. His spare time is occupied mostly by studying and reading, but he man- ages to surrender a few moments to the tasks of washing dishes, and playing the piano with one finger. As befits a man his size, he loves to eat, (his favorite dish being food). Besides participating actively in baseball, and basketball, he also swims, skis, and trudges on snow-shoes. He likes square dancing, boogie-woogie and classical music. As his father was a Navy man, George has hopes of entering Annapolis after graduation. Football 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 4; Latin Club 4; Class Will. CLENVIENTD PLERCE “Clemie”’ “Clemie” is one of our best liked students. His light hair, natural gayety, and twinkling blue eyes know how to turn on the charm, a procedure which has not de- preciated through constant use. Although a master of amiability, he speaks his mind fearlessly in public gather- ings. It seems that most of his spare time is spent tinkering around cars. His frequent excursions toward Foxboro and Walpole probably explain his reputation of being quiet at home. Aspirations for post-graduate work are still “Clemie’s” own secrets.

EVELYN F. REILLY eh a This serene young lady has been a mark of distinction in the Senior Class of 1947. Calm, composed, and serious- ly happy, she has graced our corridors with a personality we shall not forget. Possessor of a fine intellect, she has had no trouble maintaining her studies at a notable high. She enjoys dancing, and her sharp wit makes her an ideal conversationalist. All she need do to insure success is to jealously conserve these traits for her successive steps in life. A.A. 2, 3, 4; Pan-American Club 3; Advertising, Re- ception; Yearbook Board; Class Play Cast, “Mrs. Garnet”; Archery 3. LOUISE SYee RICGL “Ricky There is sparkle and glow when Louise is around. Ever smartly dressed, her general appearance is the envy and ideal of many girls. Honors have repaid her efforts in study. By far the greatest number of her spare moments is devoted to “Chet” (lucky guy), and the recordings of Frank Sinatra. Deep down inside she cherishes a lingering thought: that of developing her singing talent and attaining the rank of professional. A.A. 2, 3, 4; Usher, Reception; Picture Committee 4; Yearbook Board; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4; Class Play Cast, Understudy and Prompter. ALLEN L. ROCKWOOD arid Allen has the ability to circulate without pomp or noise, and yet, make his presence felt by the soundness of his all-around qualities. Considering outward appear- ances, he seems objectionable to no one. His spirit of never say die has been especially noticeable in his stellar achievements in football and track. He is said to be quite a jack-of-all-trades, which qualification is a very handy tool in the road to success.
