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.

BARBARA NORMINE Barbie’s the blonde from North Reading wilds whose main interest in life is having fun. She’s taking a Secretar¬ ial Course (Miss Kling’s classes being her favorite) and has played basketball, tennis, field hockey, and be¬ longed to A Capella Choir. Among her pet peeves, she lists gum snapping, people who mispronounce her name, people who stare, and com¬ binations of red and pink. PRISCILLA NORWOOD Pussy, whose initials spell P.A.N. hopes they bring her luck at Simmons’ next year. Of all her classes at R. H. S., she found English with Miss Reed her most enjoyable sub¬ ject and Mrs. Burrage’s fluent French most amazing. She hated 8th periods on Friday afternoons, and her week¬ ends were filled with her fa¬ vorite hockey games and movies, and Priscilla has the laudable ambition of desiring to become a nurse. ROBERT PARKER Bob has taken the Ac¬ counting Course during the last three years and lists bookkeeping and history as his favorite classes. In the fu¬ ture he hopes to become a Certified Public Accountant. He is a member of DeMolay and enjoys playing both foot¬ ball and tennis. After gradua¬ tion, Bob expects to attend either Bentley’s School of Accounting or join the Army Air Corps. CONNIE PARRY Connie has been on the ten¬ nis team, in the horseback riding group, and Art editor of the Pioneer. While taking the Secretarial Course, her favorite subject has been Mr. Kibbee ' s art classes. Her hob¬ bies include art and photog¬ raphy, and her pet peeves are home work and snobbish people. Dancing at lunch time, and fun in room F are things Connie has enjoyed at R. H. S. After graduation, she’ll be found behind a typewriter at the John Hancock Company. ■ DONALD PEASE NANCY PERRY CALVIN PENNY Introducing that popular student of R. H. S., Donald Pease! We all know Pesa and enjoy his swell personality and humor. Although he works at Hood’s, is Hi-Y President, a year book Edi¬ tor, and a member of De¬ Molay, “Mr. Anthony” finds time for social visits. Pease has honored the radio net¬ works in broadcasting a book review, and later on a Pan- American program. Don is now contemplating an En¬ gineering Course at Tufts. joe is the blonde good-na¬ tured fellow, who will be re¬ membered for his enthusias¬ tic participation in football, basketball and baseball. He came here in his sophomore year and has been a star ath¬ lete. Pascal has overpowered the College Course and found physics least fatiguing. Joe has been in DeMolay and Hi- Y. After graduation, Joey plans to go to college or be¬ come a brickman. Joe’s happy nature should warrant him smooth sailing. The Civic Preparatory Course was elected by Calvin when lie came to Reading High School. Cal particularly enjoyed Mr. Erickson’s Aero¬ nautics class but found U. S. History to be rather a diffi¬ cult subject. He was inter¬ ested in Cross Country run¬ ning, and skating. During the winter, Calvin left school and joined the fighting Marines. He reports that he likes his work and hopes to become an expert gunner. We’re sure he will. “Go west,” is Nancy’s motto. Nan plans to go to Stephens College in Columbia, Mis¬ souri, where she is going to learn to fly. What about the WAAFS, Nancy? Nan has been in Tri-Hi, Student Coun¬ cil and on the Senior Play Costume Committee, has been an A. A. representative, and played tennis and basketball. Nancy enjoys major league baseball, claims she had most fun in English IV.
