Edward F. Searles High School 1937 VIRGINIA B. EDWARDS Hair of a maiden ' s prayer. From her lovely crop of curly hair to her keen wisdom, Ginny is naturalness personified — and nature certainly smiled with warmth and favor, for Ginny is tops in both her attractiveness and her brains. Your willingness plus that tendency to put the best into life are certain to reap you a harvest abundantly rich! ARLINB EICHORX Historian President 1, 2 Endowed with the greatest gift of all — brilliancy. Last year a sophomore — this year a graduate. What does it mean? Simply that Arline has the intellect and persistence to combine two years ' work and even added to this distinction by emerging with one of the highest schol- astic ratings of us all. March on, Arline, and be as gieat a pride to the nursing profession as you have been to Methuen High School. GABRIEL FALCON A little fellow- but what a noise! If you haven ' t heard of Gabriel, it ' s not his fault. For he is tooting the proverbial horn until the one-thirty bell ends his misery. Gabby believes that Silence is golden but take- advantage of the fact that we ' re off the gold standard. All kidding aside, Gabe , we are forced to confess that without your audible presence our school sometimes would be a dull place. It ' s a great life, Gabe! CATHERINE JULIA FLORENZ Quietness is virtue. Kay is numbered among our industrious commercial workers as both obliging and ambitious in her tasks, two traits which hold much promise for her. Meanwhile, we wonder if Kay will establish a wireless station from the Ka-: cad of the town to the West — in order to continue the daily correspondence with Ginny. LOUISE O. GAGE Her stateliness is queenly. Rarely do we see this good looking maid without her constant escorts during the lunch period, unless it ' s one of the days Louise manage- to miss a school session. Re- gardless, we all will acclaim Lo uise as one of our most versatile members and sincerely hope she will follow up the good work which -he started in art class of designing. You ' d make a dandy designer, Louise! 22

1937 Edward F. Searles High School DOROTHY ALICE DOERR Vice President 3 Year Book Committee Treasurer 4 Blue and White Staff 4 Class Prophet Cheer Leader 3 Various Committees Deeds are true proof of worth. Popular? Active? Likeable? Yes to all queries! These three terms sum up our Dottie to the ump-th degTee. There isn ' t even a close runner-up to Dottie ' s being our busiest student. Likewise her fun-loving nature and pleasing manner cause us to label her Popular and Likeable, indisputably. Without doubt your Nurses ' Handbook has told you the necessary qualifications of the ideal nurse. Believe you us, you ' ve got what it takes, Dot! HELEN DOLAN I ' ll be merry; I ' ll be free; I ' ll be sad for nobody. If Wrigley ' s ever goes out of business, don ' t blame Helen, for she is one of its most faithful patrons. Helen with her big 1 smile and laughing Irish eyes has certainly made the boys sit up and take notice. However, she is very intelligent in all that she undertakes and has con- tributed much to the support of our class with hei in- fectious giggle and merry chatter. It ' s a grand old world, isn ' t it, Helen? JOSEPHINE D ' ORTO Argument is the gift of nature. There is nothing more appreciated today than a bit of stiff, lively argument. Jo is one of those rare individ- uals with a mind of her own who refuses to be swayed by a more presumptuous person. This, with Jo ' s inclination to enliven dull moments with blunt rejoinders, gives her our vote of thanks. DORIS DUEMMLING Her appearance all who saw admired. Doris ' lovely blue eyes, pretty smile, and up-to-the- minute hair-do ' s were only a few of the features instru- mental in her being chosen Class Queen. If anyone ever looked like a model in a fashion shop, Doris fills the bid. We all realize that when Doris is around we must step back and take second place. We have great confidence in your proficiency as a dress designer, Doris. GEORGE EDWARDS At his work or at his play, He ' s quiet as a mouse we say. George is one of those souls who would sanction with R-usto the removal of the feminine race from the earth, or at least his own little world. He is an assiduous work- er with little time to devote to the frivolities of life. In snite of his serious traits, George enjoys life, and is a faithful supporter of our activities. We feel certain your scholastic endeavors will be accompanied by the same success as at High School. 21

1937 Edward F. Searles High School EDWARD H. GANLEY Basketball, Mgr. 4 Traffic Squad Lieut., Cadets 4 Oh, for the open road. One glance at the merry crowd breezing by in Eddie ' s automoblie proves his popularity among boys as well as girls. He has run a jitney for the past year, transporting fans to all our athletic contests. Thanks for the rider, Eddie! CARROLL LELAND GATES Adjutant, Cadets 4 Traffic Squad He has an eye for beauty. Although Carroll has been with us for only part of his high school career, he has made a rapid rise in the recog- nition of our class. Through his persistence and natural capacity, Carroll was advanced to the rank of adjutant in the cadet corps. He, too, has aspirations towards the Navy, and assuming you will realize your desire, Carroll, don ' t give up the ship! DONALD J. GAUMOND Captain, Cadets 4 Traffic Squad I ' ve got my love to keep me warm. Dawn, as his name implies, is one of the most so- ciable, most jovial of our boys. It is a well-known fact that where there ' s Don, there ' s a certain cute Junior girl. But we know equally as well that where there ' s Don there ' s genuine good fun. Senior classmates owe Donald a debt for the bits of mirth he so frequently inspired in them. jlA BERNICE ARLENE GILES Class Song We called her the angle in white. A swish of white starched skirts, a toss of a pretty red head, and we have Bernice. Yes, she intends to train for nursing, and considering her cool, unruffled nature and contagious smile, we envy her future patients. BEVERLEY GOODALE Year Book Committee Basketball 4 Student Council 4 She aims above the mark to hit the tree. One in a million! No, not Sonja Henie, but Beverley Goodale, that exceptionally fine student who bears her scholastic honors so modestly. Bim is not only one of our brainiest girls but also shows perfect finesse on the bas- ketball floor. We shall miss you, Bev, but are glad to see you step to higher attainments. 23
