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.

SHERMAN STONE Gather around the piano, folks, and get set for some solid jive; for here comes Rocky Stone, resplendent in his usual effulgent attire. Be¬ sides being an accomplished pianist, he finds time for the Scientific Course. Vice-presi¬ dent of Hi-Y, a member of DeMolay, the traffic force, and the Pioneer, are other outside activities. Stonie’s al¬ ways racing with time (es¬ pecially on Saturday night before 12:00 p. m-.). t LOUISE TEBEAU Pinky is usually in the best of spirits, but ask her to re¬ peat anything she has said, and you can guess the rest. At least once during the week she attends the Reading mov¬ ies, for this and reading, are her hobbies. We all saw a little head popping up from behind the counter at the Five Ten at Christmas time. It was Pinky. We hope you go on your long-awaited trip South. JOHN SULLIVAN Sully, the smiling traffic officer on the second floor, snapped the pigskin out of the air to put the R. H. S. gridsters on the victory path many times. Minski, (this title has followed him since he worked on a mink farm), has enjoyed history but hasn’t liked getting up on Monday mornings. Perhaps John will be writing some history of his own, for he intends to join the Air Corps. RICHARD SURRETTE With a definite indifference toward women, Rich has been following the Shop Course for the past three years. Aft¬ ernoons he is industriously engaged at the Atlantic Food Mart. To be a pilot is his greatest ambition. He col¬ lects magazines about air¬ planes as his hobby, so he knows a lot already about aircraft. May 7th will find Rich in the Army Air Corps, if he has his wish. TEDDY THEODORAU Clear the way, folks. Here comes Ted Theodorau, the great cross country runner. That’s right, Ted has been a member of the Cross Coun¬ try Team for three years, be¬ sides participating in football and baseball. Ted’s Scientific Course, combined with his interest in math, should stand in good stead, when he joins the Army Air Force after graduation. FRANK TOMLINSON Tommy is one of those rare people who has no pet peeves. He joined us in our junior year and took the College Course. Tom found chemistry a redeeming feature of his complicated curriculum. It is evident that Tommy is a country boy at heart for his hobbies are: hunting, fishing, and horseback riding. Al¬ though Uncle Sam’s Navy does not have horses, that’s the branch of the service Tommy plans to join after graduation. m MARY TANNER “Hey Skinhead!” This girl who possesses inexhaustible vitality, originality, and who is a perpetual fun seeker was the originator of that greet¬ ing. We shudder to think what would have happened to our senior play without our able Properties Committee Chairman. Mary has com- pleted,.the College Course and claims her favorite subject is English. Her hobbies are sports, mostly football-—and jitterbugging. MILDRED TRACY Sis, another one of the gang from up north is at present a telephone operator. Her pet peeve is people who slam her home town. Why is it that Millie runs down to the post office every morning before going to the Junior High? Could it be to mail a letter to the Navy? Ask her why she is taking cooking and sewing and she just replies, “Oh! It is going to come in handy soon.”
