41 — —19 THE INIIIHTHEKIM LICHT Ginny — Ah, I see an artist ' s studio. Yvette Labrie is in one corner talking to her private secretary, Millie Woodbury. Bucky — There ' s a little red school house at Coral Lake. Esther McArthur is educating the children of that up-and-coming community. Ginny — Leo Ringuette and his Colonials are now playing at Bob Reilly ' s famous Jive House on the Ten Mile River. Bucky — Pris Lacourciere is assisting a painless dentist who at this moment is doing quite a job on Aggie Slowey the Queen of Sloweyville . Ginny — Now that all the boys are in the army, I see Helen Rose streaking to- wards Pawtucket in her father ' s newest jitney. Bucky — Barbara Swallow finally ended up in the army. She ' s having quite a time as a hostess at Camp Devens. Ginny — Helen Lykus liked high school so much that she ' s working i n the lunch- room. Boy, what menus they turn out now. Bucky — I see Janet Ryder still running around with Johnnie. As a sideline she works as a medical secretary. Ginny — I see a bird. Bucky — No it ' s a plane. Ginny — It ' s superman Kennedy. He ' s a professional schoolboy now in his third school. He went to Tufts, Yale, and finally to Brown (much against his will). He ' s quite a football hero . Bucky — Things are getting pretty dim and cloudy, but I ' d recognize your voice anywhere, Gin. Maybe it ' s the smoke of the lab that makes it hard to see — anyway I know the man that you ' re helping is the fellow from Brown who chased me and the boys away. Ginny — That ' s funny Bucky. Things are getting dim in my crystal too. But nevertheless, I see you in a ' 31 Ford now, your ' 30 wore out traveling the road to Attleboro. The vision is fading and a nurse is in the deep dark background. It looks like Hazel, Bucky. That ' s a good omen! All of my prophecies come true. Ginny — I think we ' ve seen all our old classmates questionably bright futures. The vision is fading — My crystal ' s a blank! Bucky — So ' s your mind! Ginny — It would be of unending value for us to take an extended course in the art of prying unjustifiedly into the Great Beyond. If any of these prophe- cies turn out right, please come to us and we ' ll contact your futures for a VERY slight fee! Page Twenty-seven

THE NOKTHEKN LIIIIIT Bucky — Tony Velletri is now bottling soda instead of delivering it. Marie King is acting as his PRIVATE secretary. Ginny — Claire Thornley and Helen Linley have finished commercial school and they have set up an escort service with Marge Wevgand as the most-called-for escort. Phyllis wanted to work too, but Skut wouldn ' t let her. Bucky — Rae Payette met up with a Conga dancer in her South American travels and she has never come back — he was that good. Bucky — Madam LaRosee has set up a dancing school and is giving private lessons to the frosh . Ginny — I see swarms and more swarms of papers with Ed O ' Neil under them. He has his own paper route now and he certainly looks proud. Bucky — Everything looks fuzzy — It ' s Miss Houghton and she ' s struggling furi- ously with her kindergarten — and she ' s the one who can do it. Ginny — Bernice is still working in Mr. Mott ' s office but a promotion looks probable if the innocent little freshmen don ' t mess things up as usual. Bucky — Roy Phipps has completed his plans for that special little love-nest and he has half the town ' s highway department at work building the foun- dation and landscaping the surrounding country side. I see Bill Mc- Carthy slaving away at the controls of a tractor while Johnnie Mason stands by to make sure that Bill won ' t injure himself permanently, by working too hard. Both these boys practically run the department now. Ginny — All I can see is a blur — no — it ' s a streak. It ' s Tommy Leary in his new car. I think it has retractable fenders for driving in traffic. Bucky — Bill Precourt is one of ' ' Dose bums , he plays first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Ginny — I see a race track — Heavens! — Has someone won some money? — No it ' s coming clearer — It ' s Jean Ralston with her famous string of thorough- breds at our own Narragansett Park. Bucky — Footsie Messier is working in a Navy yard now. He is making gun- boats . — (shoes to be exact). Ginny— There ' s Mary Kennedy, the only woman publisher of a comic maga- zine using her characteristic wit to make her book one of the best. Bucky — Look-Here ' s a little bookworm squirming toward Marilynn Waterman ' s latest best-seller. I guess it will be pretty good eating for the little fel- low. Ginny — Helen Wojciechowski ' s height has finally proved valuable. She ' s do- ing a fine job modeling at Anne Sullivan ' s dress shop. Rita Ouelette and Juliette Labrie are also employed in the same shop. Bucky — I see an M.D. ' s shingle hanging on one of those newer houses in town — Look it says, D. H. Thomas, M.D. . Office hours: 4:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Oh yes — There ' s my old friend Hazel ably assisting the doctor in his numerous operations. Page Twenty-six

19 THE NORTHERN LIRHT 91 GIgaa Stciiutioi bj Claire Thornlpy and Dick Wall Having been given the honor of bestowing upon the members of the Class of 1941 a proper and fitting degree, we sincerely hope that all will be taken in the spirit of fun in which it is intended. As Margaret Fisher very seldom stays at home during any of her vaca- tions, I bestow upon her the degree of C. T. — Class Traveler. The fact that Bill Precourt gets the degree of C. C. T. — Class Curly Top, needs no further explanation. By popular vote of the boys, I bestow upon Janet Thompson the degree of M. P. G. — Most Popular Girl. Because Harold Berg is seldom in the same place for more than ten min- utes at a time, I bestow upon him, by popular vote of the girls, the degree of L. B. — Liveliest Boy. Because of her exhibition in the Senior Play, I bestow upon Priscilla Lacourciere the degree of C. A. — Class Actress. If you ' re ever looking for Francis Fish, you can usually find him at Fish ' s Greenhouse, so I bestow upon him the degree of C. F. — Class Florist. By popular vote of the boys, I bestow upon Jeanne McQuaid the degree of S. G. — Smoothest Girl. By popular vote of the girls, I bestow upon Bill Bishop the degree of M. S. B. — Most Serious Boy. Because of her quiet ways and polite manner, I bestow upon Helen Lykus the degree of C. L. — Class Lady. When ever there is an out burst of laughter in any part of the school, Tommy Leary is usually at the bottom of it, so by popular vote of the girls I bestow upon him the degree of M. T. B. — Most Talkative Boy. By popular vote of the boys, I bestow upon Helen Linley the degiee of M. B. G.— Most Bashful Girl. Because Bill McCarthy can usually tell you most anything about sports, I bestow upon him the degree of C. S. F. — Class Sports Fiend. Since Virginia Peckham has been stringing several boys along, I bestow upon her, by popular vote of the boys, the degree of G. W. B. L. — Girl With the Best Line. By popular vote of the girls, I bestow upon Dwight Thomas the degree of N. B. — Neatest Boy. I think Roy Phipps will agree with me when I bestow upon Connie Ben- jamin the degree of C. G. G. — Class Glamour Girl. Page Twenty-eight
