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.

FRANCIS KILEY Francis, well known in school as Fran or Zephyr, is taking a Practical Arts Course. He has participated in bas ' eball, football, and bas¬ ketball. His pet hobbies are sports and airplanes and his pet peeves are detention and eleven o’clock broadcast. Fie has worked as a bell-hop, waiter and a W. P. A. worker and his future intentions are to be a draftsman, but after graduation he says “The gov¬ ernment has its own ideas.” BERT KILGORE Bert is listed as taking the Fine Arts Course here at Reading High School. Mr. Kibbee’s art classes have kept B’ert enjoyably busy, but bus¬ iness math has been a most elusive subject for him. Bert has been helping the war ef¬ fort by working at Hunt’s and after he graduates, he in¬ tends to see what the Navy has to offer. Th’e submarine and torpedo schools attract him and if all goes well, per¬ haps he’ll be a deep sea diver. HELEN KIMBALL Tootsie is a vivacious bit of gal who can so often be seen making time on a dance floor. Keeping “hep” with current music is her favorite hobby. Toots says going to bed and conceited people are her pet peeves. She has been pursu¬ ing the Civic Preparatory Cours ' e at R. H. S. and plans to work for New England Tel. and Tel. after gradua¬ tion. LORRAINE LOUISE KIMBALL Lorraine and Louise r known as Rainie and W ' eazie respec¬ tively, have both taken the Civic Preparatory Course while at R. H. S. Rainie has been working in Torre’s as a very efficient waitress, but after she graduates, she plans to work in Boston. Weazi ' e’s ambition is to be a traveling salesgirl, and she has worked already as a waitress and salesgirl. Louise was a mem¬ ber of choir and enjoyed Joe Griffin’s entertaining antics in English class. KENNETH KING Kenny, the tall, dark senior whom everybody knows, loves book reports. He is taking the Accounting Course, but like others, has many outside activities. If you ever go to the movies, you are sure to find Kenny wandering about. His pet peeves are students who use big words and girls who wear short skirts. After school, he may be seen hurry¬ ing to work. Who is it who holds your eye during period five, Ken ? SHERMAN KNIGHT Sherm, a quiet fellow, is seen approaching before he is heard, but although he’s not noisy, he still has a per¬ sonality which everybody likes. During his association with R. H. S., he has followed the Comprehensive Course with U. S. history standing high on his favorite subject list. Photography and avia¬ tion are very special interests of his. Sherm has worked in an animal hospital and this summer Ire will work again. BARBARA KOMENDA Barby is one of the gang from up north. While at Reading High School, she has been taking the Civic Pre¬ paratory Course and has en¬ joyed Mr. Mirey’s Problems of Democracy class very much. Although she hasn’t any immediate plans for the future, Barbara plans to spend the summer in New Hampshire, where she’ll prac¬ tice up on household arts. Butchie’s pet peeve is being in a big crowd. ETHEL LACEY Ethel has successfully com¬ pleted the Accounting Course and has found bookkeeping especially enjoyable. She en¬ joys dancing, bowling, and popular music. Ethel was in the tennis tournament, for that is her favorite sport. Her pet peeve is boys who walk on the wrong side. Ethel plans to get a job and work until a certain friend returns from the service. Her win¬ some smile will assuredly win her as many friends in the future as it has in the past.
