Aber, Evelyn Although everyone of us is envious of Evelyn when we cast our eyes on the honor roll semester after semester that she either has the highest standing or very near it, we are all the more proud that she is in our class graduating with us. Be- cause of her very evident success in school, the Senior Class has, Without hesitation, chosen her as the girl most likely to succeed. Allen, Arlene Excelling in her favorite subject, history, Arlene seems to take her school life seriously. This seriousness will undoubt- edly continue and affect favorably her chosen profession, no matter what it may be. Thus we can Wish her the best of luck for a promising future. A Armstrong, George Here We have a quiet lad. Probably it's because he comes from a quiet place, a farm in Montague. George, too, is fond of History C so much so that he has taken three years of it. Since he considers farming his favorite pastime, there is a probability that he will choose it for his vocation. Only time can tell, but for the present we can just hope that he succeeds in any choice. Aughton, Harold During his four years of high school Harold has not only kept up faithfully his studies but has also participated in other various outdoor activities. Among these were three years of track, one year of football, one year on the Por-Je Staff and a month of military life at the C.M.T.C., Plattsburgh, New York. Harold likes best to strum on a guitar. Maybe to some lady fair!

Holden, Betty Vice-President In chapel, school, home, Senior meetings, everywhere Betty is without question chosen as our best girl speaker. Along with being the Vice-President of our class, she has found time for the Athenian Club. A bright future is in store for her, we hope. Connelly, Tom Treasurer No doubt Tom's personality aided him in performing faith- fully his job as the class treasurer. By the class he is remem- bered as the best dressed Senior, the boy with the prettiest hair and with the best personality. These valuable traits made Tom is a worthy member of the Hi-Y, French Club, Por-Je Staff, and in sports, track and baseball. Monahan, Kathryn Secretary Seeing that Kate has been chosen as the best girl ath- lete, the best all-around girl and the girl with the outstand- ing personality, one is not required to write further about her. She has proven herself a capable leader as our Class Secretary, and in the Hi-Y and French Club. So long, Kate ! Blasiar, Emily Social Chairman A Take a deep breath and then read the much-deserved honors bestowed on Emily by the Senior Class. First she was elected the smartest, the most ambitious and most active girl. On top of that in a tie for first place she was chosen as the girl most likely to succeed. She was voted also as the best leader and the girl with the biggest drag. Emily thus seems to be an outstanding Senior. Besides being our Social Chairman for two consecutive years, she has been an active member of the Girls' Hi-Y, French Club and the Por-Je Staff. Now may we gasp a breath of good luck to her undoubted success hereafter. '

Backus, Donald Still water runs deep In inquiring about his activities in high school, one would find that Mr. Backus' favorite pastime is sports. He went out for a little of football and basketball but his most prized ac- complishment is his four successful years of baseball. Here's hoping your career of sports does not end with your school days but continues until you have reached the top. Baran, Walter Although Walter seems to talk very little, he always has the faculty of saying something witty when he engages in con- versation. May your old combination of silence and humor bring to you in later years as many friends and as much suc- cess as it did in the past yelrs. Bauman, Charles Mention dancing or music, especial'y something hot, and Bus is all ears. He, too, has become an addict of that Thing Called Swing and does he get around! He likes also Ger- man, astronomy, and chemistry and he states emphatically that he hates women??? Benton, Jean The Seniors agree in one thing anyway, namely, that Mother Nature surely didn't do Jean an injustice, for they have chosen her as the most popular girl, the girl with the prettiest hair and in a tie for first place, elected her as the prettiest girl. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club, the Por-Je Staff and has been one of our active cheer leaders.
