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.
