CHARLES MOTLEY PALMER 123 Orchard Street West Somerville, Massachusetts DEAN ACADEMY, 1942-1944 MONSON ACADEMY, 1944-1946 Chuck Thoughts of beauties, rest, and study will always bring to mind that congenial gentleman from Somerville. Chuck was full of understand- ing, and his passion for repartee always showed an alert, active interest in his associations. He abhorred the thought of violent physical exertion, for that involved too much work. A shelf of excellent books and a sur- rounding of glamorous pin-ups were more to his liking. Chuck plans to enter Tufts and then become a school teacher. I. V. Basketball 1946 I. V.

A rabid swing enthusiast, Swirsk can handle a clarinet deftly styled along the Kenton manner. Conscientious, a highly capable worker, Swirsk is critical and strange in his moods. He has found refuge in sports when away from music scores. Always dependable, Irwin has traits necessary for a successful business career after graduation from Middlebury College. Soccer 1945 I. V. Basketball 1946 Baseball 1946 Glee Club Chairman Winter Dance ROBERT ALFRED THOMAS 1560 Longmeadow Street Longmeadow, Massachusetts CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL, 1943-1945 MONSON ACADEMY, 1945-1946 Baldy I'm sick and tired of the whole thing. One of the great school promoters of Anglo-Syrian relations and an expert on Oriental rugs and modern-fashioned clothes, Sennacherib was an impeccable dresser. Naturally big and loud, he does everything the way he plays football, hard but clean. Diligent and industrious, Baldy was inclined to be stubborn at times, and we will always remem- ber his familiar refrain uttered in desperation, 1'm sick and tired of the whole ting. Bob's aspirations are to graduate from Dartmouth and become a prominent lawyer. Football Co-Captain 1945 Glee Club Yearbook Committee 1 , ..-i.+.. .,,. . . i.
