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.

CRAWFORD REED Here comes the Benny Goodman of R. H. S-, and the proud owner of a sharp ka¬ leidoscopic coat. Crawf has many hobbies. Music, hockey, skiing, and visits to John Street occupy most of his leisure time. However, Crawf still manages to play in the school orchestra and band, belong to the Hi-Y, and serve on the Traffic Force. Craw¬ ford has already enlisted in the Marines, so his post¬ graduate plans are up to Uncle Sam. BARBARA RICH Who could forget our cute little soprano soloist, Barby Rich, who has been in choir three years. She has thor¬ oughly mastered the College Course and done a good job holding down the lucky thir¬ teenth place on the honor roll. Barbara intends to work this summer and enter college in the fall. Barb served on the Program Committee, attended Junior Woman’s and still found time to carry on lengthy correspondence with her friends in the service. DONALD RICH Ducky is the blond fellow who can be seen in the Art Room sketching. He has taken the Fine Arts Course, and at the time of the Senior Play, served on the Art Com¬ mittee and as a stage hand. He worked on a farm for a while and also in a green¬ house, but his pet peeve is getting up in the morning. Don’s immediate intentions are to enlist in the service, but hopes to go to Art School later. JAMES ROBINSON Jim is the mechanical gen¬ ius of R. H. S- Even though the shop periods in the Prac¬ tical Arts Course have been his favorites, he dislikes noisy classes because they disturb his sleep. Jim received honor¬ able mention for his help in the scrap drive which the high school sponsored. Jim’s membership in the Rifle Club, his interest in flying, and the enjoyment he gets out of mechanical things should help him in his Army career. WILLIAM RYER ROBERT SANSOM ADELLE SARGENT WALTER ROWELL, JR. At last we have a future farmer in our midst who takes his work seriously. Walter worked in a green¬ house and plans to spend next summer on a farm. He intends to go to Randolph, Vermont Agricultural School, where he will acquire the scientific angle on his main ambition. His future objec¬ tive is to be a farm manager. He also enjoyed two years of playing in the school band. Billy has been a familiar traffic officer on the third floor this past year. He has taken the Accounting Course and plans to continue at Bus¬ iness College, where he will prepare to be a C. P. A. Un¬ doubtedly the high scholastic rating which he has achieved will reap for him future suc¬ cesses. Bill has enjoyed Eng¬ lish and history most. Bob has been chaplain of Hi-Y, a member of the traf¬ fic squad, board-member of the Pioneer, usher at senior play, and a stalwart supporter of the tennis team. He is bass drummer and bell ringer of the Band and Orchestra. His ability in playing the xylo¬ phone shows that music is his hobby. This fall Bob plans to enter college and study medi¬ cine seriously, in order to ful¬ fill his main ambition in life. Who’s that rushing down the corridor ? It’s Delly, al¬ ways in a rush! Where she’s going no one knows. Delly has been a member of the Clerical Course and her fa¬ vorite subjects are book¬ keeping and U. S. history. Adelle is a member of Rain¬ bow, Junior Woman’s Club, and an officer in the Metho¬ dist Youth Fellowship.
