1941 Edward F. Searles High School MARION E. AUSTIN Industry brirrgs its own reward Quiet and reserved, Marion belongs to our class as one of those silent rooters which are a necessity. She is loyal to her friends and when with them she becomes more talkative. We wish you success, Marion! MARGUERITE MARIE AZNOIAN Where did you get those eyes? Marge is the proud owner of a pair o f large brown eyes, the envy of many a girl. Not the least of her attributes is a pleasing taste in dress, plus a marked ability in de- signing and sewing. We do hope you follow this career, Margie. Lots of luck. MENCESLAUS JOSEPH BAJOR It ' s hard to keep a good man down Mickey ' s fine spirits make it very hard to discourage him, and they also cause him to be prepared for any emer- gency. He is very friendly and at times quiet, although when with friends, he is a very fine conversationalist. Mickey plans to attend Tufts next year. He hasn ' t yet told us what he ' s going to be. ROBERT ADAMS BAKER An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow Basketball 4 Football 3 Track 3 Bob ' s chief aim is to be happy, and while achieving it he has given much happiness to others. His ability for hitting home runs on the baseball diamond has earned for him the nickname Homer. May you be as cheerful in the future, Bob! FRANCIS PATRICK BALFOUR ' Earnest and diligent — success is his Cadets, 1st Lieutenant 4 Military Ball Committee 4 Frank has the quality of being able to concentrate solely on what he is doing. He can become so deeply en- grossed in something as to be entirely oblivious to the world outside. He has proven his worth in working for the success of everything and endeavoring to put things across in a big way. 15

Edward F. Searles High School 1941 RALPH DAVENPORT ABERCROMBIE, JR. Believe it or not Football 2, 3, 4 Track 2, 3, 1 Hi-Y 2, 3, 4 Commencement is quite a character. He has a tend- ency to spin yarns more or less fictional in character. His imagination gives these yarns a very interesting quality. We expect to hear from him later on. Good luck to you, Commencement. JOSEPH RENE ALTOTT Good things come in small packages Blue and White 4 Military Ball Committee 4 Hi-Y 2 Cadets 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 Basketball 2, 3, 4 Although Joe is one of our smaller members, his spirit makes up for anything lie lacks in size. He is very active in sports. When he is among friends he is very talkative and makes any conversation as interesting one. Lots of luck, Joe, in the future. LILLIAN KATHRYN ANDRKHOW Ambition is the basis of success Girls ' A.A. 2 Lillian is very ambitions. She goes about her work with a zeal which is very fine to see. She is very quie ' and seldom asserts herself. She seems to feel that others can do enough talking out of turn to make up for her lac of noisiness. If she is convinced of something, however. she is not afraid to let anyone know what she feels. Here ' s luck, Lillian, for you in all your future work. DIANA HARRI ARAKELIAN With never an idle moment Girls ' A.A. 2 Girl Reserves 2, ::. 1 Glee Club Diana is one member of our class who is well-liked and combines the well-known beauty and brains. She is leav- ing this section of the country next year to attend Mary Washington College in Virginia. From all indications, she should be a great success, and we ' ll all be wanting to hear from her soon as one of the students of that well- known college. Lots of luck, Diana. FRED ARTHUR ARCHAMBAULT. JR. All luck is caused by good work Football 3, 4 Serious in appearance, sociable by nature. Fred ' s shy manners deceive none of his friends. Calmness and dil- igence seem to belong to him in great measure. We wi.-h you all the luck in the world, Fred. 14

CLIFTON ALYIN BATCHELLER Beg and borrow, pay tomorrow Cadets, Sergeant 3; 2nd Lieutenant 4 Traffic Squad 4 Military Ball Committee 4 Batch is always borrowing or lending school supplies. He pays his debts cheerfully and promptly, and in return expects the same from others.

Loads of luck, Batch. LINDA MARIE BERARDI Sensible people find nothing useless Linda is one of our charming few who doesn ' t say a lot. but what she does say is usually worth listening to.

EDWIN NELSON BERRY Popularity reflects character Class Treasurer 2, 3, 4 Football Manager 2, 3, 4 Senior Play 4 Hi- 2 Cadets, 2nd Lieutenant 4 That Eddie has had our trust throughout High school is shown by the fact that he has held the money bags during that time.
