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.

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!

Noel L. Gomez Football Varsity (4), Letter (4). A shy and rather modest member of our class, Noel is often seen taking long strides to and from school. It’s no secret that he’d rather be out on the fifty yard line than in study hall doing math problems. However, you can be sure he’ll make the best of any situation. What’s next for this popular guy? Marine Corps, of course! He’ll make some one a good top sergeant. Pablo I). Gomez “Pab” Football J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4). Letter (3, 4), Captain (4); Basket- ball J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Class treasurer (2); Pro- Merito (4); Projectionist (2); Silver “M” (4); Junior Prom Invitations Committee Chairman (3); Boys State (3). Tall, dark, and handsome, Pab is any football coach’s or school girl’s dream. Anyone would be envious of his many honors—his scholastic achievements, his being chosen Boys State representative, and his term as student City Manager. How will he use his talents in the future? He’ll be a top engineer, we think. David J. Goodall “Dave” Basketball Varsity (4), Letter (4); Baseball J. V. (1. 2). It’s impossible to name a sport that Dave doesn’t enjoy. This year he has been one of the wheels on “Brown’s Bug- gy”; and before that he was a baseball star. Outside of school this husky fellow loves to dance and, according to the grape- vine, is quite a card shark. Some people say that he is a gour- mand and others assert he is a gourmet—well, anyway, Dave just loves to eat! Francis R. Herring One of the hunters in our midst, Francis loves to take trips to Montreal and other far-away places. Always game for fun and excitement, even Francis’ name means “free”. For some strange reason, as soon as Francis leaves at 3:26 his smile becomes at least an inch broader. He’s never told us, but we think his motto must be—“We have but one life so let’s live and let live”.
