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.

JOSEPH GRIFFIN It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a man; it’s the superman of the First National Super Market. Joe, or “Snuffy,” has not selected a definite voca¬ tion but he plans to be a suc¬ cess at whatever he tries, Giddy persons don’t fit with Joe. His hobbies are shows, games, and sports. He has the remarkable trait of liking all the subjects in his Business Course. His military ambition is to be in the United States Services as a Supermarine. RUSSELL GUNN Ladies and gentlemen, pre¬ senting that popular, “sharp as a matzo ball,” student— Russell Gunn. Trombone playing, fooling with elec¬ tricity, DeMolay, and scout work, are but a few of his outside activities. If Mr. Pope’s face has worn a hag¬ gard expression this year and if his forehead lines have deepened a bit, blame it on physicist Gunn. Rusty’s future plans are in the hands of Uncle Sam, and the Navy. MARY HALLORAN Sis has taken a Civic Pre¬ paratory Course for the past three years, and has enjoyed it very much. Her favorite subjects are type and study. She enjoys dancing, bowling, and listening to the radio, and she admires the Navy, we know. Her pet peeve is doing homework, and getting up in the morning. Her plans for the future are indefinite as yet. It will either be a de¬ fense job or business school. But whatever it is, we know she will succeed. BETTE HAM Ham may be rationed, but Bette’s enthusiasm and per¬ sonality definitely are not. T ' e football team will tell you what an inspiration the cheerleaders were, but how could they fail with Bette leading them on ? The class of ’42 recognized her talent by choosing her Junior Girl, and the Tri-Hi Club had Liz as its chaplain this year. Bett ' e will till the toil this summer and start to learn dietetics iiom the ground up. SHIRLEY HATCH Well, Shirley is only a little girl, but she always has an answer ready for anybody. Her hobbies are singing and dancing. The little Irish lass has a lot of pep and is hardly ’ever serious; that is, about school work. Her outside in¬ terests keep her occupied. We hear she expects a sparkling engagement ring in June. Shirl intends to become a nurse, soon after June ninth. RUTH HIGGINS Did you hear the prompter at the senior play? Well, that was Ruth. She was the stu¬ dent director of the play and did a fine job. Among h’er other activities, Ruth enjoys riding. Her after graduation plans are to take a trip to Mount Ada. She dislikes boys who wear polo shirts and sports coats. Her favorite subject is history. Whatever career she may follow, her enthusiasm will undoubtedly make her successful. GLENN HODSON Glenn was the Beau Brum- mel of the senior play. Do you recall his curtain call? Besides his superb perform¬ ance in “What A Life,” Glenn has been a member of the traffic squad and the rifle team. His hobbies are guns and shooting, and he has re¬ ceived some medals for his excellent marksmanship. Glenn dislikes long assign¬ ments over the weekends and girls who comb their hair in class. ELIZABETH HOFFER Being a member of the basketball, hockey, and tennis teams hasn’t hindered Betty from becoming salutatorian of the class. An enthusiastic and conscientious worker, she manages to succeed in what¬ ever she undertakes. Betty pursues a College Course and lias enjoyed her Latin classes the most. Sewing and sports are her hobbies and her pet peeves are show-offs. Betty hopes to be a civil interpreter or teacher in the future.
