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.”

Roger is a first rate track star at R. H. S. and an active member of Student Council and Traffic force. Bookkeep¬ ing is Wheeler’s favorite sub¬ ject. He is interested in out- of-doors activities; such as running, skiing, and bicycling. Rog has been employed as a waiter, clerk and is owner and manager of Reading Wood Co. Medals have been pre¬ sented to Rog for excellency in cross country meets. North¬ eastern Business College will be seeing him soon. “I just don’t understand electricity.” Yes, that’s Libby, pursuer of the Scientific Course and lover of math and physics. Lib detests people who say “he don’t” instead of “he doesn’t.” She has done a marvelous job selling war stamps, and has the books straight. Libby was treasurer of Junior Woman’s Club and the Literary Editor of the Pioneer. From Reading High, Libby will advance to the University of Maine. Barb has taken the Secre¬ tarial Course during her so¬ journ at R. H. S-, with typing and shorthand her favorite subjects. She should be suc¬ cessful in her chosen career as an efficient stenographer. She plans to work and go to night school in the fall. New¬ berry’s in Wakefield and the vVood and Metal Company in Reading have already en¬ joyed having Barb in their employ. Conceited and fickle people are the bane of Barb’s life. Doug found very little to say about school that was good, so he turned to the Navy for consolation. His aim in life is to be a deep sea diver. He’ll start his danger¬ ous training in the Navy. His favorite sport was hockey and was on the football team for several years. He also liked J;o swim and ski. Doug¬ las was active in Hi-Y as treasurer. Remember the Hi- Y Conference Doug? RALPH WILSON Talk about being rugged! Here’s a boy who peddles a bicycle to school in fair or foul weather. Willy is one of the few who really enjoys gym classes. No wonder short lunch periods are one of his peeves, for he tells us that eating is one of his hobbies. Ralph belongs to DeMolay, and plans to find work after graduation. When duty calls, he’ll enroll in the Marine Corps. JOHN WINSLOW Jack’s job is to drive around town in a ’40 Chevy. It’s not permanent, however, for Jack likes the sea and plans to en¬ ter the Navy after gradua¬ tion. Pet peeves seem dom¬ inant in Jack’s life. I give the girls fair warning — “Don’t wear pigtails or knee sox.” Jack’s favorite subject is U. S. History. His ambition is to find a job at the end of the war as a Diesel Engineer. ROSALIE WISTUBA Rosalie is a quiet girl with a shy smile. She has taken the Accounting Course ; book¬ keeping is her favorite sub¬ ject. She is on the Honor Roll. After school, she has worked as a clerk at Adams’, and is now employed by the World Book Company in Boston. Rosalie managed to find time to be on the senior play program committee. Her spare time is spent writing letters to Arkansas. SHIRLEY WOODWARD When you serve luscious red tomatoes don’t invite Shirl in. She can’t take them. For three years she’s been taking the College Course. Tennis, swing music, singing and summers in Maine have been her main diversions, but her irrepressible enthusiasm has carried her through very well. She plans to work this summer and in the fall enter Middlebury College.
