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!

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.

H. Joseph Follett “Joie Ski Team Varsity J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3); Baseball Manager (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2); “The Fortune Teller” (1); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3). A butch haircut, a friendly smile, and a real cool pair of orange slacks seem to describe Joe. Oh, we forgot to men- tion that lovely green convertible! Perhaps you think all this adds up to the perfect ladies’ man? Well, he does seem to have a way with the girls, but we notice that he’s usually talking with the fellows while the gals are trying to break the sound barrier. You have to be on the qui vive to keep up with Joie. Wayne L. Foster Band (2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (4). During the last four years Wayne has often been seen studying math, blowing his trombone, answering difficult questions correctly, or dealing out the cards in Room 2 dur- ing the noon hour. Mix a subtle sense of humor with intelli- gence and wit, and you’re bound to come up with Wayne! Keep your eyes on this boy—he’s going places. Donald C. Gauthier “Don” Remember when Don used to blush and cringe every time a girl came within ten feet of him? Those days are no more—now he’s the center of their attentions. And we no- tice that he doesn’t seem to mind them, either. We haven’t heard him say much about the future, but probably it will be something mathematical, scientific, or even historical. Robert J. Glass “Bob1’ Class Valedictorian (4); Pro-Merito (4); Ticket Squad (2); Boys State (4). Take a good look at this fellow because you’ll be seeing more of him in the future. Here’s a confidential tip—we think we may have another Einstein. Of course he just laughs at us. He’s too busy keeping that straight A average to be bothered with such speculations; so he works and we speculate. Because Bob is so reserved, he’ll probably never tell us whether he’s sending his luggage to Yale or M. I. T. next fall.
