A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club l Prize Winner Elks' Essay Contest 4 No jitterbug addict she, but when the mountain music plays, Barb is there with skirts a'whirling and heels a'flying. Of course there is a more serious side to her nature. As proof, witness her prize winning essay in the Elks' Democracy Contest. We are sure that Barbara, one of the promising commercial students, will have no dif- ficulty securing a position suitable to her talents. RUTH CLAIRE GALLUP Ruthie Moosup Dancing Club 1 Glee Club 2, 3 F.H.A.2 A.A.2,3,4 Vice-President F. H. A. 2 Ruthie possesses a pair of beautiful blue eyes and a radiant smile that wins the hearts of all who come within its sphere. She and her pal, Barbara, love to vocalize and are often heard harmonizing in study hall in the wee hours before nine. Perhaps, through Arthur Godfrey, this duet will win a radio contract for a national hook-up. Whatever Ruthie plans, be it harmonizing or posing for that Colgate Smile, is certain to be a success as long as she remains her friendly self.

On June 25, Alyce will walk down the aisle as Miss Alyce Gannon, and will float back on the arm of her best beau , as Mrs. George Walker. ...15..

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.

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
