GEORGE PAPPAS t'Pap , a most popular fellow among the boys, is known to the girls as Georgie . Having a mar- velous personality has made him a most popular person among all associates. His talent for artistry has been displayed on many occasions along with his hobby of ticket printing for school dances. George's after school knowledge of dentistry has greatly encouraged his application to Tufts Dental College. George, like most other fellows, likes very much to dance. We all feel that Pap is destined to be a success, for all of his projects in the past have been well done.

LINCOLN JOHN PARKES ' Nick , having come to us late in the school course and having left early for the service, was known to us but a few months. In these few months 'tNick had become a very popular fellow among his associates and is known as a very good mechanic, who also likes to dance and participate in parties. Nick's interest in aviation, no doubt, inspired his three year enlistment in the Navy V-6 Program. During the winter months he demonstrated his in- terests in skiing and skating. His late arrival in P. H. S. engaged him in but a few school activities. Dancing 4: Military Training 4, Dramatic Club 4.

THE BLUE AND WHITE GEORGE ALBERT PLANCHON Lefty has acquired much of his knowledge of mechanics from the work he has done on his five or six cars. This no doubt inspired his enlistment in the Navy V-6 Program. George liked very much to fly as we could all see, but his affections for dancing and roller skating were also well displayed.
