LORRAINE HELEN MARCOUX Butch Moosup Tumbling Club 1 Commercial Club 3 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls' Basketball 2, 3 Cheerleader Manager 3, 4 Butch , as she is known to all of her crowd, is an ardent sports fan. It was very seldom that she was absent from any of the school games. Her affinity for long slim skirts has distinguished her as a Lady Astor . Beautiful hair is her most outstanding asset and it does not surprise us that after graduation she plans to attend the Hairdressing Academy in Hartford. PAULINE THERESA MARTEL Pauline Plainfield Tumbling Club 1 Glee Club 4 Industrial Arts Club 4 Commercial Club 4 Newspaper 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3 Girls' Basketball 2, 3 Senior Play 4 Would you believe that Pauline is a modern G1'andma ? We didn't - until we saw her dynamic performance in the Senior pro- duction of Love Troubles Tommy . An aquatic enthusiast, her leisure hours pass quickly in the Civic Center Pool. An effervescent person, she apportions her pep to each and every sport. With her keen interest in athletics, a physical education career would be ideal for Pauline. May the sea of life be calm as you iioat to fame and fortune. LAURETTA IRENE MESSIER MARGARET MARY MCGEE Marge Plainfield A. A. 1, 2, 4 Basketball 2, 3, 4 Who is that dash on the basketball court? Could it be - why yes - it is Margaret! Her skill as a guard in basketball has helped many a forward to make those two needed points. So you see why she was selected the best athlete in the class. Marge has acquired many freinds in her own shy manner. She is very seldom seen with- out Crie . After graduation she is going to take pulses and check temperatures at the W. W. Backus Hospital where she plans to train to become a registered nurse. Lauretta Wauregan Dancing Club 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club 3, 4 Industrial Arts 4 Hermiad 4 Newspaper 4 Patience is a virtue, Of this virtue Lauretta has a great amount. She volunteered to make the dummy copy of this yearbook and upon request changed it time and time again. Not a solitary complaint was heard! To Lauretta we attribute the title, speed queen , for her ability in transcribing shorthand notes. Ever so often she left the rest of the class searching notebooks for the words she was reading. Lauretta spends much of her leisure time studying aero- nautics. Won't it be marvelous when one day Wauregan will be boasting of Lauretta, the Flying Ace! 120-

EMILY JEANNE LATHROP Em Plainfield Glee Club 1, 3, 4 Chess Club 4 Glee Club Secretary 4 Dancing Club 1 Glee Club Pianist 1 Orchestra 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Band 4 Hermiad 3, 4 Homeroom Treasurer 3 Valedictorian 4 Once a friend always a friend is Emily. Friendly congenial comradeship is only one of her facets. Through hard work she has forged to the top of her class as valedictorian and certainly no one is more deserving of the honor. Reserved in manner and brilliant in mind she will always be remembered by the class of 49 . College is beckoning to Emily and we wish her luck when, in the fall, she con- tinues her journey on the rocky road to knowledge. HOIHBIOOUI Treasurer 2 ployer an eflicient executive secretary PHYLLIS CECILE MARCHESSEAULT Phyl Moosup Dancing Club 1 Commercial Club 3, 4 Hermiad 4 Secretary Commercial Club 3 Newspaper 3, 4 Reporter Commercial Club 4 Student Council 2 A. A. Secretary 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls' Basketball 2, 3 Homeroom President 1, 4 D. A. R. Pilgrim 4 Phyllis, positively identified, is the other busy member of the Senior twins. She is Secretary of the A. A. and winner of numerous Commercial awards. Phyl was selected the 1949 D. A. R. Good Citizen- ship Pilgrim frorn P. H. S. - this fact alone speaks for her popular- ity and makes us suspect that there's a deeper attraction than that which appears on the surface. Her quick laugh is sure fire for winning friends. After graduation Phyl wants to be employed in an ofiice. The best we can do is wish her upon the same employer that hires Pauline. He'll have trouble keeping them straight but his oliice will run satin-smooth. 119.- MARY ALICE LASNIER Bled Moosup A.

She succeeds nine times out of ten too Bright as a silver dollar, Pauline is scholastically close to the top of her class. Friendly rivalry in their Commercial work has always kept the twins on their toes. Many occasions have given us opportunity to notice one of her salient characterlstics her cute blush pai ticularly when she read the minutes as class secretary With her ability in keeping records straight, she will make some lucky em

BERNICE EDITH MILLER Bern Sterling Glee Club 1, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Home Room Secretary 1 Bern entered High with definite ideas of what her school life should be. She intended to spend her time in a serious pursuit of studies. As a result she did not take part in many activities, but those in which she has participated were always sure of her full coopera- tion. Bern now lives in the State of Connecticut but soon she will enter the State of Matrimony. 1 . w 1 MAE ANNETTE NICHOLS Mae Sterling Commercial Club 3, 4 Dancing Club 1 Glee Club 1 Newspaper 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Homeroom Treasurer 3 A peaches-and-cream complexion , an infectious giggle out- wardly manifesting her inner wholesome happiness, a Winsome smile, and a lively eagerness - these all describe Mae to perfection. Many a morning has witnessed her racing in pursuit of the school bus out of Sterling. I-Iere's hoping Mae secures an oflice position in Sterling and thus assures us that her transportation problems will be solved. PHYLLIS SHIRLEY OATES Phil Plainfield A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Girls' Basketball 2, 4 As you may have already recognized, Phil is the smiling blonde who has dispensed a great number of candy bars at the theater in her home town of Plainfield. No wonder there hasn't been a dis- satisfied customer. She takes an active interest in social life, which will probably be enriched if she goes on as intended to Lawrence Memorial Hospital in New London for a course in nursing. DAVID OSIPER Dave Plainfield Stamp Club Treasurer 1 Baseball 2, 3, 4 Chess Club 4 Football 3, 4 Varsity Club Treasurer 4 Track 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3 Basketball 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2 Co-Captain Basketball 4 Senior Play 4 Dave is a four letter man. That statement alone speaks volumes. It means that he is admired by the sport fans, his classmates and his colleagues. He has placed in both the basketball and the foot- ball Conference All-Star teams. What more could you ask? Of Dave you could expect a lot more! He is friendly, loves to dance, and has been trying hard to make money for the Varsity Club. His efforts have not been in vain. His blush which was apparent most of the time made him the object of ribbing from the boys and admiration from the girls. The school will miss his scoring ability next year as Dave sets out to make a mark of his own. -21-
