ALFRED ALGIRD CILCIUS Clem Plainfield Varsity Club 4 Football 4 A. A. 4 Track 4 Senior Play 4 Introducing Al, a good-natured fellow, who came to us from New York in his Senior year. After having won a number of awards on the track team in New York, he again took up his favorite sport at P. H. S.. On the football field A1 proved that he is a man of no mean ability. As a result he won the warm-hearted approval of all the sports fans as well as his classmates. We expect to hear of his win- ning the 4-40-yard dash at the next World Olympics. MARY PATRICIA COFFEY Pat Plainfield Arts and Crafts Club 1 Homeroom Secretary 1 Student Council 4 A. A. 1, 2, 4 Hermiad 4 Class Gifts 4 Pat is extra tiny but as the old saying goes, Good things come in small packages. In this case it is a package of intelligence and charm tied securely with friendliness. No Wonder she is a favorite of all who know her! Pat's love of mischief keeps her eyes twinkling. It also keeps her friends anticipating the unexpected. Pat's intention to wear a nurse's cap when her course at the University of Connecti- cut is completed can reap nothing less than assured success. VVILLIAM EDWIN CONGDON Bill Moosup Baseball 1 Track 3, 4 Class Treasurer 3 Varsity Club 4 Class Vice-president 4 Junior Marshal 3 A. A. Treasurer 4 To describe Bill, one could simply say he was ideal , He is a gentleman, a scholar, and a pal, all rolled into one. With his natural aptitude for mathematics, Bill is the perfect candidate for treasurer of any organization. This post he has fulfilled as treasurer of the Athletic Association. His many activities have kept him busy but not too busy to make friends that will stick by him through thick and thin . Bill is handsome and no doubt, as he reads this, he will blush and quickly turn the page. HOWARD WALTON CURRY i'Maestro Moosup Glee Club 2, 3 Stamp Club 2 Arts and Crafts 1 Orchestra 3 A. A. 2, 3 Chess Club 4 Senior Play 4 Maestro is a very fitting nickname for this musical genius. His talent as a pianist was displayed frequently as Glee Club accompanist and as a member of the Melody Makers . Next fall, on the wing of a song, Maestro will journey to South Carolina to major in music at Bob Jones University. Perhaps someday we shall hear that our music master has become Oscar Levant's serious rival and if so, you may be sure we'll be rooting for Maestro . -13-

ROBERT LAWRENCE BRODEUR Bob Plainfield Dramatic Club 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2, 3 Senior Play 4 Junior Play 3 Bob is a rare find. Enthusiastic about school and sports, he has spurred many an undertaking to success. He has worked in a gro- cery store and the many occasions of catering to the public have made him easy to like and easy to know. Bob can always turn a dull con- versation into one of great interest by talking with a delightful Eng- lish accent. As George in the Senior play, he showed his prowess as an actor. Bob plans to keep his present position as grocery clerk. He is starting at the bottom and someday we will see him at the top. HS manager . CLARISSA GRIGGS BULLARD Cris Plainfield A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Outwardly quiet, Crie possesses a rare combination - com- posure and feminine charm. Although she is unfailingly loyal, she is seldom heard. Maybe this results from the fact that some of her best friends are horses . A horse-lover by nature, she spends some of her happiest hours in the saddle. May you jump all the hurdles in life, Crie , and continue your smooth course. PATRICIA ANN BURTON Patty Sterling Commercial Club 3, 4 A. A. Member 1, 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club 1 Secretary 2, 3 Glee Club 1 Intramurals 3 Varsity Club 4 A Cheerleader 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club Secretary 4 Cheerleader Captain 4 Senior Play 4 Mirror mirror on the wall, she is fairest of them all. Gifted with a friendly personality, Patty has long been the center of attrac- tion. Her vim, vigor and vitality have added a spark to the cheering squad. Nevertheless, her charm does not cast a shadow on her scho- lastic skill. Upon concluding her high school education, Pat plans to follow her chosen career in the commercial field. MARY LOUISE BUTLER Mary Plainfield Dancing Club 1 I Glee Club 1, 2, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club 3, 4 Mary, lucky girl, knows how to balance work and play. She is a good Commercial student, one who is hardly ever reproached for being noisy. However, she is still very capable of enjoying a good laugh with her friends after classes. An avid reader, Mary' spends her leisure time curled in an armchair, solving mystery after mys- tery. Mary intends to follow either one of two paths, Morse College in Hartford or secretarial work. With her detective background, she should have no diliiculty in discovering who clogged the water cooler' and who stole the ink. -12-

A. 4 Homeroom Treasurer 1, 2 Did you see that sparkling smile? That was Lorraine's! No won- der there is a boom in her dad's business. Lorraine has been employed by her father since her Sophomore year. Besides working in the store, she spends most of her leisure time with Al. Home and Fam- ily is one of her favorite subjects. Perhaps, this is a hint as to her future vocation! Yet, knowing Raine as we do, we feel sure a career in commercial work will long precede any romantic aspects. LAWRENCE EDWARD DESPATHY Wally Central Village Baseball Manager 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Football Manager 3, 4 Varsity Club 4 Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2, 4 Waxy , a very amiable young man, lives right next door . Al- though entirely unassuming, he has worked hard as manager of bas- ketball, baseball and football teams. His own athletic ability, as ex- emplined during intramurals, cannot pass unapplauded. Always the center of fun and activities, Waxy's sense of humor cannot be sup- pressed despite the rules regarding silence in study hall. Thinking only of the school's Welfare, we hope Waxy will follow in his father's footsteps. FREDERICK JAMES DORR Red Oneco Dancing Club 1 Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4 Tumbling Club 1 Intramural Softball 2, 3 Chess Club 4 Football 2, 3, 4 Varsity Club 4 B9fS6ba11 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Track 3, 4 Hermiad 4 Class Vice-President 3 Homeroom Secretary-Treasurer 4 Class Treasurer 4 Class Prophecy 4 Fred is known to most of his friends as Red , but to others he's known as that spunky No. 14 on the P, H. S. football team . Just- tiiiably can he be proud of it, too. With his unswerving loyalty he has seen many a project through to the finish. Red , besides being one of our best salesmen, rates a superlative in popularity. Next fall, when you fight for the University of Connecticut, Fred, remember that we are still rooting for you. PAULINE ELIZABETH DUCAT Paul1y Moosup A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club 3, 4 Glee Club 2 Known as 'tPaully , she is more feminine than her name implies. She is one of those lucky girls who can do without makeup and still look marvelous. Tall and slim, industrious Pauline is definitely not afraid of doing a little more than her share. If Danny doesn't change her plans, she should gain recognition not only for her attractiveness but also for her diligence. Should she pursue her chosen career as a secretary, success is inevitable. ,141
