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.
