ALBERT DAVID DOUCETTE Albie has taken the fine arts course in high school. He particularly likes art class. Albie has been a representa¬ tive in the Athletic Associa¬ tion and an ardent sports fan. Besides art, he likes sleeping and dancing. You’ve no doubt seen Albie in the Pioneer store on Haven Street. He has worked there for a long time. Albie claims he strong¬ ly dislikes women. Lot’s of luck to a future Marine. NELSON DOUCETTE Nelson is a very cheerful, easy-going fellow who can always be identified by his funny laugh. He took the commercial course in R. H. S., but didn’t care particular¬ ly for any kind of studying. Quite musical, “Nel” was in th’e choir for three years. For a long time he could be seen almost any day working at the First National Store. Nel¬ son left us after mid-year’s for the Navy. We wish him luck. JULIA EASTMAN Julia has been on dance committees and on the senior executive board. Julie is in¬ terested in art and is a talent¬ ed musician. In school, Julia likes English and Art classes. A member of Rainbow since th ' e eighth grade, she will soon be Worthy Adviser. Among h’er outside interests are driving, riding horseback, and a fellow in the Army. Julia plans to go to Mass. Art School to prepare to be an art teacher. JAMES EMERY “Jimmy” is one of the best- liked and most respected fel¬ lows in our class In his sophomore and junior years he was an outstanding basket¬ ball player. This year he was manager of the basketball team. Jimmy has taken the college course and plans to go to college next year. As yet he hasn’t made up his mind, but it will probably be either University of Maine or Northeastern. We wish you lots of luck, Jim. PRISCILLA FANCY “Pril’s” favorite class is art. She delights in all out¬ door sports, being particular¬ ly active in field hockey, bas¬ ketball, and “having fun in general.” Perhaps “having fun” includes music, for we enjoyed her splendid piano accompaniments for the Girls’ Glee Club and the French Club! After school hours, Pril has been working for a jeweler; but her hope for the future is to become a “far¬ mer’s wife.” WILLIAM FENNELLY “Fenn” has had lots of ex¬ ercise these three years going from the High School to the Junior High School for shop. He doesn’t mind, though, for he particularly likes his shop work with Mr. MacDonald. Bill likes all sports and has played football every season. He is often seen in Torre’s where he spends much time. He’s a good sport and very good natured, but he doesn’t like stuck-up girls. Fenn is going into the Navy, he hopes. GLENNA GENEVIEVE FLATER Glenna has taken a general course in R. H. S. She likes art class the best of her sub¬ jects. Work at Sylvania keeps Glenna busy after school. She contemplates going to a hair¬ dressing school in Boston. Genevieve has taken a gen¬ eral course. She likes English better than most classes. Gen¬ evieve plans to get married soon after she gets through school. DAVID FISHER “Dave” came to us this year from Pennsylvania. We will long remember him as a key man on the best football team that Reading has ever had. Dave takes the college course and hopes to go to either Penn State or U. C. L. A. next year. He played basket¬ ball for a time and baseball. Dave is one of the “Cosmo¬ politans” and spends a time at a cute cheerl house on Bond St. 1QC

On ' e of Lucy’s favorite hobbies is collecting miniature horses and pins. Her future is unde¬ cided, but Lucy hopes to go to college. If you see a girl riding a horse down Main Street, that’s Lucy! THEODORE D’ORLANDO Ted came to R. H. S. from Revere in his S’enior year. He takes the college course and has joined right in school ac¬ tivities. He is a member of DeMolay and has joined the Civil Air Patrol. Ted says he likes horseback riding very much. He is one of the few boys who will be able to go to school for a year before going in the service. He plans to go to Boston University. We hope that R. H. S. com¬ pares favorably with Revere, Ted. STEWART PRESTON CROWELL, JR. “Pres” has followed the scientific course, and after graduation plans to ’enter the Army Air Corps. He is a mem¬ ber of Hi-Y and DeMolay. In the field of sports, Pres plays hockey and tennis. He is a member of the traffic squad, and did a swell job as Harry Graves in the senior play. Pres sings in a quartette, and plays in the symphony or¬ chestra. One of Pres’ pet peeves is French. In the sum¬ mer he works at Hopkins’ Farm. Jimmy has taken a mixed course in high school. He has been an important member of tire football team for two years. Jimmy is a very good drummer. He is also quite a driver as anyone who has rid¬ den with him in the Stude- baker knows. Work at the Town Building has kept him busy this winter. Women and listening to records at Flint’s take a lot of his time and in¬ terest. The Navy will be tak¬ ing him soon. Good luck, J immy. BEVERLY DALTON Bev, a quiet little blonde, is taking the mixed course. When asked what was com¬ ing after graduation she re¬ plied, “I’d like to sleep for a coup le of months and then work — maybe as a typist.” That explains why her favor¬ ite period is typing. Bev not only is active in sports, but takes part in the Girls’ Glee Club, and works in the library up North. RAYMOND DAVIES United States History has been Ray’s favorite subject in the college course. Outside of school he has worked at Atkinson’s and assisted at surveying. Ray is interested in hockey and is always ready to enjoy a good movie. His pet peeves are not being able to smoke during school hours and the school cafeteria. He plans to join the Navy some¬ time after graduation. JAMES B. CURRELL JEAN CROUSE ANN CATHERINE CROUSE Jeannie has been one of our cutest cheer-leaders this year. She has also been in the Drum Corps, combining this activity with her work at Torre’s. Jean’s pet peeves are getting up in the morning, and sneakers. She has taken a mixed course at school, and tells us that her favorite class is art. Jean has not decided what to do after leaving school. Could it be she’s waiting for th’e return of a certain red-head named Tim- mie ? Ann may be seen any aft¬ ernoon “jerking” sodas at Torre’s. Taking general busi¬ ness course, she says that Miss Reed’s English class is her favorite. Dancing and swimming, with oth ' er inter¬ ests, keep her busy outside of school. One of Ann’s pet peeves is girls who wear pumps and ankle socks. We understand Ann has an inter¬ est in the Air Corps. After she finishes school, Ann plans to attend modeling school. i

C., Rain¬ bow, Dance Committees, Ath¬ letic Association, Student Council, and a ticket seller. Her interests are dancing and Torre’s. Typewriting is her favorite subject.

SHIRLEY ANNE FOSTER Shirl has taken the com¬ mercial course and has al¬ ready a year’s experience us¬ ing her knowledge at Sanford Mills. Shirley has enjoyed science and typing. She tells us that she works with me¬ chanics outside of school. Rid¬ ing and table tennis are her bobbies. She hates it when the loud speaker is turned on and someone blows on the mike. It annoys her to see people with ankle-socks and pumps. iiiip? ; Y v .: ■MU JEANNE FULLER “Jeannie” has found music and English the most inter¬ esting subjects of her general course. Jeanne has played field hockey and basketball for three years. For two years she has been captain of the basketball team. She has been in the glee club. Jeanne comes from North Reading and works as a telephone op¬ erator there when not in school. Jeanne is going to join the Cadet Nurse Corps after graduation. ANASTASIA GAVIN “Stasia” is another member of the Stenography III class who has theatrical ability. She appeared in a comedy and was in the s ' enior play. Teach¬ ing dancing school, horse¬ back riding, dancing, reading, and knowing the past and present history of most or¬ chestras occupy much of her time. Blue and green worn together, silly girls, and out¬ dated recordings are definite¬ ly out in Stasia’s book. Her ambition is to sing with an orchestra. KATHRYN GEARY “Kaye” has taken the gen¬ eral course in preparation for doing office work. Her favor¬ ite subjects are English and lunch. Almost all of Kaye’s interests are out of school. She belongs to the N.E.O.P. Lodge and likes roller skat¬ ing and swimming. Spending money lavishly must be fun if you have the means to do it with, “Kaye.” Conceited peo¬ ple and late dates rate con¬ siderable scorn from this lady. DOROTHY GONZALO “Dodo” is on’e of the wit¬ tiest and best-natured girls at school. She is another of those versatile members of the Stenography III class who have histrionic ability having been in an office com¬ edy and the Senior Play. “Dodo” is also an active member of the Pioneer staff and the Reading Youth Coun¬ cil. She is absent-minded, loves to dance, is crazy about coffee and doughnuts, and just can’t bring herself to do homework.
