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.

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.

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.

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.

ERNEST L. RODERICK pRoas Humor, wit, and joviality—all agree with Ernie’s natural tendencies. No moment is considered dull in a group favored by his presence. He definitely believes there is a sunny side of life and he wants the rest of the world to share his conviction. Chief interests are dancing, and collecting records of female vocalists. He intends to round off his business knowledge by attending Bentley. A.A. 2, 3, 4; Tickets, Reception; Chairman of Tickets, Class Play; H. R. Representative 3; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4. MARY E. SHEA “Sheady”’ They say she is a red head, with an overwhelming smile and a sense of humor. Figure it out for yourself, but it is true. If cares and worries beseige her, she certainly knows how to conceal it, for she parades an exterior of calm that an earthquake could not move. She brightens so many hours that promise weary, that her presence is deemed almost. indispensable. We predict that hers will be a successful venture into the outer world. AA. 2, 3, 4; Pan-American Club, Treasurer 3; Thanks- giving Dance Committee; Treasurer 4; Usher, Reception; Program, Class Play. ANITA SHEEHAN “Neets” “Neets” is perhaps our best example of “find a way or make it.” Her serious countenance seems almost ever absorbed in bringing a set purpose to its successful end. Yet, owner of a sparkling smile, a striking etiquette, and a beaming personality, she has created far more friend- ships than animosities. Her undoubted skill in business subjects corresponds admirably well to both intelligence and industry. Her desire to become a successful secretary is bound to materialize.
