BETTY LYNCH Betty has taken the Civic Preparatory Course during her three years at Reading High School. Her favorite subject was bookkeeping, but the work entailed in short¬ hand was the bane of her existence. Betty, in her spare time, knitted, danced, and took care of children. Lunch has been her best school per¬ iod. Betty left in April to ac¬ cept a position with the Em¬ ployer’s Liability in Boston. JEAN MAGUIRE Here is Jean—President of Tri-Hi, Co-editor of the Pioneer, Corresponding Sec¬ retary of Junior Woman’s, Co-chairman of our War Stamp Drive, and the amaz¬ ing “Miss Wheeler” in our senior play. Corduroy knick¬ ers, Quiz Kid programs, hob¬ bies, and eight-fifteen are Jean’s pet peeves. Last sum¬ mer she worked in Ogunquit, Maine, and now works at the Reading Cooperative Bank. Jean received Faculty Honors. JOHN MARCHETTI Johnny took the Civic Pre¬ paratory Course while at Reading High School, and his future intentions are to join Uncle Sam’s Army. Art has always been Johnny’s favor¬ ite subject and as we all know he is our typical sharpie of the senior class. Whenever or wherever one hears jazz, there will be Johnny doing his famous dance, the “Lindy.” Johnny’s main hobby is danc¬ ing and he has become very well known in neighboring towns for this sport. RICHARD MARSTON Dick as an artist is stupen¬ dous, as a runner, colossal, and as an actor, extraordin¬ ary. Actually, Dick is quite normal. He has completed the Accounting Course, and his chief enjoyment has been his art classes. Dick has devoted his spare time to the Cross Country Team, N. R. A. Rifle Club, DeMolay and the Pioneer Board. Outside of school Rich draws, bowls, and enjoys music. Dick’s fu¬ ture objective is to be a com¬ mercial artist. PAULINE MARSTALLER Polly belongs to the more serious element of our class, but enjoys life nevertheless. Perhaps you have seen her at the Public Library, because Pauline has worked there for some time. Her favorite class is history. She is an honor student and we find it hard to believe that she does not like study periods, which she finds boring. Polly hopes to be¬ come a teacher, but her fu¬ ture plans are at present in¬ definite. NORMAN MARTIN Norman is the blonde senior with a ready smile. He took the Complehensive Course but judging from the list of musi¬ cal organizations in which he was enrolled, we’d say his was a course in musifc. While here at R. H. S., he played soccer and football. This summer Norm plans to work in a de¬ fense factory and then enlist in the Army. Bud hopes some day to run a camp for skiing in the wilds of New Hamp¬ shire. JEAN McCLINTOCK Jean is the sweet girl whose future secretarial possibilities are undisputed. Her favorite subjects are shorthand, type, and study. Jean has played basketball and tennis with our teams. Her hobby is air¬ plane spotting, while her pet peeves are conceited persons and high heels worn with ankle socks. After graduation, Jean will continue working in Bos¬ ton. Just where being a sec¬ retary fits in with her future intentions to raise a family will have to be proved later. AGNES McGRATH We’ll all remember Aggie’s pleasing smile and grand sense of humor. Although Agnes kept herself occupied with the Business Course and working at the Five and Ten afternoons, she was able to take time out for hockey and the “Junior Woman’s De¬ fense Corps.” Her pet peeve is sissified boys, but a nice piece of swing music cures her blues. Agnes now works as an operator for the Tele¬ phone Co., but we know her future is well planned.
