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-

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-

GEORGE OSIPER George Plainfield Arts and Crafts Club 1 Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4 Varsity Club President 4 Football Manager 3, 4 Chess Club President 4 Basketball Manager 3, 4 Hermiad 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3 Track 3, 4 Class Will 4 Some people believe that intelligent fellows are not popular. Here's where George shatters this belief. He is the highest ranking boy in the class and one of the best liked. A true leader, George has the job of keeping peace in the Varsity Club which is usually carrying on a discussion on controversial topics. He dwarfs his many accom- plishments with his modesty. With his fighting spirit, George is bound to be a success. BEATRIZ EUGENIA PEDRO Bea Plainfield A. A. 1, 2 Basketball 2, 3, 4 Chess Club 4 Hermiad 4 Good Citizenship Contest 2 Beats main interest in school life was getting the marks of which she could be proud. She has succeeded. Her other activities are not dimmed, however, by her honor roll record. An ardent sports fan, Bea has sped down the court in all the school basketball games. Following graduation, she plans to attend the University of Conn- ecticut where she undoubtedly will strive to surpass her high scho- lastic and athletic standings made at P. H. S.. RICHARD ROSSI ALICE LOUISE REYNOLDS Aly Moosup Commercial Club 3 Industrial Arts 4 A. A. 2, 3 Quiet as she can be, she's altogether different when with her inseparable friend Lucille . With no Worries in the world except baseball scores, Alice creates for us the impression of being totally unperturbed. She intends to work after graduation. Her daily visits to a certain gas station might lead us to think Alice is interested in such a business. Who knows? She probably is. Ross Central Village A. A. 1. 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club 1 Tumbling Club 4 Junior Play 3 Varsity Club 4 Senior Play 4 Class Gifts 4 Intramural Basketball 2, 3 Football 2, 3, 4 Basketball Manager 2, 3 Homeroom Vice-President 4 Track 4 Ross , our boogie Woogie friend, is always on the go . An individualist, he maintains his innate originality. Ross , who is very proficient in football, kept up a steady stream of morale-building yells throughout every game. He amazed many with his 'dramatic por- trayal of the prisoner in the Junior play. No one ever expected to see fun-loving Ross with such a serious part. He dances, he plays the piano, he acts. Broadway, roll out the welcome mat for Ross . ...22i
