ALICE ELLIS Here we introduce you to a petite co-ed, one of our beau¬ teous cheerleaders who cer¬ tainly added pep and charm to the squad. If you se’e a dark-haired girl, weaving- dance steps to the lure of T. D.’s trombone — that will be Allie. She thinks he’s tops. She plans to follow up a career; it will be a success¬ ful one we are sure, for her winning smile will certainly be an asset to any future plans. GEORGE FENNELLY Students, here is George, better known to most of us as Fenn. George is one of the most versatile and most cap¬ able athletes of our class. He was “Captain Fennelly” of the football and baseball teams in 1942 and 1943. George successfully put up a struggle to come out on top of the Civic Preparatory Course. His favorite periods are sp’ent in the Study Hall and his unpopular moments in Room 4 at 2:30—need we say more ? MARY FERRICK Mary is often seen typing- in Room 5. Since typing has been her favorite subject, we don ' t wonder. She has com¬ pleted the Secretarial Course and hopes to further her edu¬ cation in the business world. She likes the football and basketball games, and as soon as she leaves school, plans to work in a lawyer’s office. Who knows, maybe some day sh’e will be private secretary to some famous personality. EDWARD FITZGERALD Whenever one thinks of basketball, one thinks of Fitzy, our most noted basket¬ ball player, famous as high scorer of the Middlesex League, and receiver of a second and third year letter and award. He took the Ac¬ counting Course and Coach Taylor and history with Miss McKenzie provided his school enjoyment. Girls who smoke, plus calisthenics are his pet peeves. Fitzy has been a clerk in’ the First National. PAUL FITZGERALD After school you’ll find “Chicken” at the Meadow- brook Golf Club or Levaggi’s (he works there). Although his pet peeve is studying, he has struggled through the Scientific Course; his favor¬ ite subject being Math with Mr. Halpin. He also has been a member of the pre-war golf team. During last summer he has worked as a bus boy or a waiter. When he recovers from his accident, he hopes to go to Coast Guard Acad¬ emy. CAROLINE FOSTER “Kay” has been a member of the hockey, basketball, and tennis teams, as well as be¬ longing to Tri-Hi. She pur¬ sues a College Course, elect¬ ing chemistry and Latin as her favorite subj ects. ' Kay’s hobby is sports, and her pet peeves are show-offs and little brothers. After graduation, she intends to go to business school and if the war’s still on, she’d like to enlist in the WAVES or MARINES. THOMAS FOSTER Tom, quiet lad, has chosen mathematics as his favorite subject. It is fortunate that he enjoys the latter, for it will stand him in good stead when he gets into the Army Air Corps. His other inter¬ ests are mechanics and elec¬ tronics. Tom has worked as a lumberman and when he finishes “flying them,” he can return to that peaceful pur¬ suit. WINIFRED FOWLE Winnie, one of our talented pianists, belongs to a U.S.O. unit, teaches piano lessons a n d accompanies a local dancing teacher. Homework and lads who are late for dates are her pet peeves. She has participated in A Capella Choir, Chorus, A. A., and The Junior Woman’s Club. Re¬ member her as “Miss John¬ son” in “What a Life,” and the “open house” given after¬ wards.
