PHYLLIS BARR Phyl, among our best- dressed co-eds, was one of the year’s vivacious cheer¬ leaders. She was treasurer of Tri-Hi, belonged to the Stu¬ dent Council, member of Junior Woman’s, Executive Board, basketball team, and riding club. She has taken the College Course and plans to enter Stephens College in the fall. Her pet passions are her little black Tarry and her little black Olds. ANNE BARRETT Anne is one of the students following th’e Classical Course. She is a mathematical wizard, who surprises everyone with her miraculous solutions. Be¬ sides her scholastic achieve¬ ments, Anne has not been too busy to play field hockey, bas¬ ketball, and tennis in a spec¬ tacular manner. Anne was Sport’s Editor of the Pioneer. After graduation, she plans to attend Emmanuel College. ROGER BATCHELDER Fink, the lad who manages to get to school one minute too late, claims it’s easy to ar¬ rive on time. Roger completed the Accounting Course and math has been his favorite subject. He does not like to get up early and warns you not to leave your keys in your car because he likes driving. At present Batch is hard at work cutting wood. After graduation, Roger plans to enter the Air Corps. ROBERT BEAUMONT Flash ! The dashing fellow with the wavy red hair is graduating from Reading High. Carrot Tops has com¬ pleted the Civic Preparatory Course and lists his favorite periods as lunch and study. If a medal were to be given out to the fellow who has been most jnischievous, Bob would certainly be the winner. His pet.pe ' eves are stuck up girls and long rest periods in the office. Rosy plans to join the marines after graduation. BRUCE BENSON As a newcomer to the Sen¬ ior class, Bruce has taken the Scientific Course, and enjoyed pilot’s math the most. Al¬ though now in th ' e Navy, Ben is still very much interested in the activities of Reading High. Eventually Bruce hopes to be able to join the Naval Air Corps which is certainly a worthy ambition. Tall, blonde, and handsome is our three word description of Ben. ROBERT BERGLUND Buggy, is one of th’e quiet fellows at Reading High. He has been taking the shop course and may be seen every morning making his way over to the Junior High. He has enjoyed Practical Science class with Mr. Blanchard most of all. His pet p ' eeves sound familiar; homework and notebooks. After he fin¬ ishes school, Robert plans to work until after October, when he expects to follow his brother into the Army. GEORGE BOYCE George is better known to his classmates as Snipe. H ' e is taking the Civic Preparatory Course, and his favorite sub¬ ject is mathematics. Snipe’s hobbies are sports, especially baseball, and his pet peeves are women and waking up early in th’e morning. After graduating this June, Snipe plans to work on the Boston and Maine. East summer he worked a t Torre ' s. His future intention is to get married and settle down. FRANK BRENNAN Time: 8.16, Place: Middle¬ sex Avenue. Look out, h’ere comes Frank! He’ll probably make it, just as he has the Civic Preparatory Course. He does his pilot’s math in the second period study and finds the answers on the Sports Page of the morning paper. Frank is a rabid basketball player and fan. Frank worked at the Post Office and Reading- Theatre. After graduation, will join his pals in the Fighting Forces.
