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.”
