1937 Edward F. Searles High School EDWARD J. HADDAD A little work, a little play. Eddie is just another of our naughty boys who chooses to join the happy throng before school starts for the day — to preparing his lessons like most (?) of us. A very congenial sort is Eddie and, paranthetically, his very curly hair hair just get.s us. We feel sure your progress will be rapid in your journalistic career, Eddie! DOROTHY M. HARRIS Orchestra 1, 3, 4 Class Will Her charms are many, her faults hardly any. Some people have virtues which speak for themselves. This case is true for our pianist. Our stock of adjectives would soon be exhausted were we to attempt a description of sweet Dorothy, so to be brief, we tell you that in every respect Dot is a perfect lady, possessing charm, culture and talent. The steps of Dot ' s rise will be worth follow- ing. FRANCES L. HARRIS I ' m not arguing with you— I ' m telling you! During the suspense of the election months we honestly believe Frances Lost as much sleep as the President him- self. Never a truer Republican, is the unanimous trib- ute to Frances. Her oratorical powers show strong pos- sibilities that she Would make good at law, but Frances intends to resign from politics (until the next election) to become a veterinarian. Never say die, Frannie! SHIRLEY MAY HILL A little girl with a great big smile To make life happy all the while. Who is that wee lassie who is cordiality personified? She is Shirley Hill, the girl who has a big smile for us every morning. Shirley ' s ambition coincides with her smile rather than her stature, for it is tres grande. Dame fortune will have the same cheery smile for you, Shirk NATALIE E. HOUSEMAN Secretary 4 Various Committees A daughter of the gods Divinely tall and divinely fair. Nat, you ' re a peach! Lawrence certainly lost a person- ality when Nat came to us. In the short time Nat has been here she has livened the school with her spirited outlook, and through her sociable and companionable ways she has become our blonde symbol of popularity. We prophecy with authority that with your husky, mel- odious voice, you will sing your way to the top, Nat! 25

Edward F. Searles High School 1937 FRANCES EDNA GOULD Gentle in manner— kind in thought. Through a natural tendency to be reticent, Frannie has chied any position that would place her in the foreground of our class. However, we can never accuse Frannie of a lack of school ipirit, for in this respect she is right there. We hope your success will be attained in the same quiet way in the future, Frances. ELEANOR MANLA GRACE Tiny cogs turn mighty wheels. At eight-ten each morning, we invariably find Eleanor in her homeroom — where all good girls should be. .brush- ing up on the answers ; he gives with such ease in every class. Eleanor ' s remarks, though few, are salted with wir and good seasoning — and she will ever be remembered as a member of the famous shrimp club. Eleanor ' s pres- ent cogitations as to future vocation are still unsettled — Lut we look forward to big re-ults. PAULINE BERTHA GRAICHEN Basketball . ' 5, 4 Just a n Alt-American girl! The girls ' basketball squad will recall with amusement the sinking heart wi ' .h which an opposing forward would receive the bad new- that the Dread Graichen was starting at guard. Polly certainly has what it takes to make a perfect athlete, but her basketball prowess is not her only fine characteristic, for she is the best friend onn could ask for, frank, sincere, and sporting. You deserve the best in life, Polly! ARTHUR A. 6RENIER IJaseball 1 111;; ' ne, ' I nil care, Thou and I shall never agree. The day would be off to a poor start without Arthur ' s boisterous manner of breezing into school at 8.20. This witty young man is the la t word in joviality, high spirits, and good looks. And now, Art, we leave you with the hope that you will continue dispelling gloom wherever you are. k -mM CECILE MARY GUERARD What sweet delight a ijuiet lift affords. What would our class do without dimpled smiles like Cecile ' s to encourage and cheer us? She gives forth an air, -hy and unobtrusive; hut, confidentially, reliable sources claim that in addition, she is cheerful and willing to accept the ludicrous side of life — all desirable traits, Cecile, and with them you can ' t fail. 24

Edward F. Searles High School 1937 ROSEMOND LOUISE HYNES Some think she is quiet— but! Dimpled smiles like Rosemond ' s are a treat to see. And hidden beneath that engaging smile is a frank, sincere nature and an abundance of pep. Newspaper reporters need all of these qualities, Bud, and if you really do fol- low this work in the future, we will not be greatly sur- prised to see a byline of yours in the Tribune some day. RICHARD PAUL JACKSON Secretary 1 Baseball 3 Vice President 4 Class Day Speaker Football 3, 4 Hold the bell, here cornea Dick. Just as England has her King — so Methuen has her Dick. This Apollo of M. H. S. has been duly selected as our handsomest boy. Good looks, however, are not his only claim to fame, for Dick has graced the roster of our athletic teams very honorably. We think that he take s his -printing practice every morning at eight twenty-five, for he is one of our last minute men. Better late than never, Dick. Better never late. DOROTHEA MARGARET JOHNSON A nature as sunny as her fiice. A jovial smile and a frank, pleasing nature have made Dot one of our favorites. Her cheery Hi there, is nor uncommon at any time of the day. Considering Dot ' s efficiency as a stenographer, we predict great attainments at Burdett. ARLENE MARION JONES Sweet is tlie word tor you. Angelic and demure is the little Jones girl. Angelic, yes, but not to the extent that she is incapable of giving evasive answers in commercial law class. (Fond memo- ries, what, Arlene?) Even though law and economics are not your idea of heaven, Arlene, we feel certain that you will find the study of beauty culture right in your line. MA TILDA ELIZABETH JUREK Her voice is ever soil and i e itle. A girl who always preferred reviewing her homework before classes to chatting with less conscientious class- mates is ample description for Matilda. Those of us in the know have it that the Matilda in the school is net the Matilda out dancing Saturday nights. How about ' t, Tillie? Well, we ' re proud of you for retaining the gay streak for after school houiv; that ' s more than most of us can do. 26
