James E. Davis “Jim” With a sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye, Jim at- tracts attention from all sides of the room. Some people think he is a misogynist, but we’ve seen him courting several girls. Although Jim doesn’t mind coming to school, we’ve heard him mutter something about a petition for more and longer vacations. Some people thing that his last name should be Stewart—or haven’t you noticed the resemblance? Linda S. Davis G. A. A. (1, 2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), The Curious Savage” (4), Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Silver M” (4); Student Council (2,3); Solonscope (2,3,4), Assistant Editor (3); Record Board (3,4). Contrary to the general consensus of opinion, Linda spends very little of her time engaged in conversation; in- stead the majority of her spare hours are passed in writing for the Solonscope and Record. Brimming over with ideas and suggestions, Linda has shown unusual journalistic abil- ity and originality. We appreciate her competent leadership and all the important contributions she has made to the class of ’57. David F. Day “Dave” Football J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4). Letter (2, 3, 4); Baseball Man- ager (2). Next in our ’57 line-up we find Dave, a likable Worces- terite with a ready smile and a frequent laugh. If a fire ever threatens you, this is the man to call—our Student Gov- ernment Day fireman. Of course, if there’s some tackling to be done, remember that he was also chosen as first team All-State center. Dependability mixed with congeniality make Dave a nice guy to have around. Eugene B. DeRosie “Gene” Although Gene is usually seen with Jim and the boys, this genial senior is, by no means, entirely averse to girls. Those initials could easily stand for “Earnest Rut Diffident”! What about the future? Well, Gene yearns to see the world—at Uncle Sam’s expense.

“Bili” William A. Coons Man, what a cool haircut! Actually, Bill’s second cousin is a porcupine. Never at a loss for jokes and wise cracks, Bill amuses everyone with his witty remarks. A senior transfer from Poughkeepsie, Bill became “one of the boys” the moment he blew in the door. Should we say something nice about him? Nope—he would just laugh at us. Judy A. Corskie G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Masque (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (3); Style Show (1). “Hey, Judy! Do you want my sandwich?” The reply is always “Yes!” Aside from being fond of food, Judy wields a terrific sense of humor that can keep any and all groups in stitches. (We’ve even seen the faculty smile once in a while!) Someday an artist will paint her eating a double-decker- strawberry-pistachio ice-cream cone and playing ring-toss with her halo. We don’t know where the future will find her, but we’re certain she won’t be caught in a library. Earlene A. Dailey Earlene, a Worcesterite who is very active in youth fel- lowship groups, has attained high grades in her school work and ranks among the leaders of our class. One of the nicest gals of ’57 and truly a paragon of senior poise, Earlene will undoubtedly go to the top as a lawyer’s girl-Friday. Her sin- cere smile and willingness to help make her much sought after among the seniors as well as the underclassmen. “Bill” Football J. V. (2, 3); Track J. V. (3); Masque (4), Pin (4), “Curious Savage” (4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Freshman Chorus (1). Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4); All- State Chorus (4); Chorus Business Manager (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (4); “Smoky Mountain” (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4). Wherever there’s good food and jazz, you can locate Bill. Don’t let our future business man deceive you by a quiet exterior. Always ready to laugh at a good joke or witty remark, Bill could correctly be called ’57’s “Happy Whistler.” Both the percussion section of our band and the tenor section of the MHS chorus will sadly miss this pleasant chap’s support.

U I V Jan Janet L. Dopp Freshman Chorus (1). Ever gone to a chicken pie supper in Riverton? If you have, you’ve probably seen Janet busily helping to prepare and serve a delicious meal. Besides indulging in such culinary pursuits, she also loves square dancing and looking after youngsters. Her friendly smile and her genuine interest in all of us have made her many friends during her four years at MHS. Have fun, Janet! “Bob Football J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1, 2); Ski Club (1, 2, 3). Ski Team J. V. (1, 3), Varsity (2), Letter (2); Baseball Manager (4); Assistant Football Manager (3); Assistant Baseball Manager (3), Baseball Manager (4); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4). You could recognize Bob a mile away by his laugh! But don’t let his constant roar fool you; sometimes he’s as serious as serious can be. Ever noticed Bob’s clothes? He goes all out for western styles, for he rides a Palamino. We hear that he’s no drug store cowboy but a mighty fine rider, too! Bob has been a tremendous worker on the Solonscope and RECORD, and we are certain that we won’t have to worry about his making his way in the world. Floyde C. Fitch, Jr. Projectionist (2, 3, 4); Ticket Squad (3, 4). Rather quiet in a large crowd, Bubba prefers to be among his own friends. At home he keeps busy running the mail route, working on his family’s farm, and skiing during his spare time. Very friendly and amiable, he worries little about material things and takes life as it is. Right now, Floyde’s future is a little hazy, but we ex- pect that the clouds will disappear by graduation time. “Dick Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (2, 3); Baseball Varsity (2), Letter (2). Dick is usually seen with his two cohorts, Bob Jensen and Cal Potter. He’s a friendly, easy-going, affable fellow, but he seems so shy toward the girls. As an asset to our foot- ball team, Dick did an outstanding job of helping us to win the State Championship this year. If you want to make “a hit” with Dick, just ask him to flex his muscles for you; but, we’re warning you, STAND BACK!
