MURIEL GERMAIN—“Pudge'' “Gobs of Love for the Navy” Muriel has always been rather quiet, but she has always been friendly, too. This trait has been shown by her inseparable companionship with Caroline Peehette and Marjorie Allen. In case any of you boys are interested, we hear she is an excel- lent cook. Of course, there is an incident of the lemon pie filling that wouldn't thicken, but we all make mistakes! Muriel plans to enter war work for the duration, at least. What her plans are for after the war, we do not know. Whatever they may be, Muriel, we wish you good luck.

JOHN NEVINS—“IP hip pet “Why Don’t You fall in Love with Me” We know now that one's size does not govern one’s ability and determination. John is a good proof of our belief. He is one of the most persistent students of our class, and even though the going was sometimes tough, John never gave up. Now that you have reached your goal, we wish to congratulate you, John, and may your future be successful, too. Discussion Club (2,3); Treasurer fo Junior (lass (3); Chef Club (3). KATHERINE HEWITT—“Kate “My Silent Love” Kate is one of the quietest girls of the class, but she is as friendly as she is quiet. Her inseparable companionship with Kate Moody illustrates her loyalty as a friend. More than one boy is reported to have commented favorably this year on her good looks, but she manages to remain “Ice Cold Katie” to them. However, we prophesy that someone soon will discover that she has a heart capable of being melted. Warmest wishes for your happiness, Kate.

VIOLET JOHANSON—“Vi “Smiles” When we hear a little giggle, we are quite sure it is Vi. The rumor has gone around that Vi is a charming little “Wolfess,” but we can’t remember any great struggles or any terrific dashes for the door from the pursued boys. In fact, we under- stand that she has attracted the attention of more than one “supposedly innocent” lower classman. With her attractive appearance and very pleasant voice, we feel she would make an excellent hostess. Best wishes, Vi.

“Sophisticated Lady JACQUELYN DREW—“Jacky” The name of “Jacky” might have a masculine sound to some ears, but to S. H. S. it brings thoughts of utter femininity in the person of the blue-eyed and dimpled Jacky Drew. On re- consideration, the phrase utter femininity does not quite apply —for on certain occasions she has been known to display great stubbornness and strength of mind supposedly missing in the “weaker” sex. In spite of her assertions that she will join a certain “Old-Maid Club,” we feel certain her future will soon lead to matrimony.

WALTER LA VOY—“Walt' “All Apple for the Teachers” Walt seems to be one of the most travelled students of the class. Now', his most frequently visited place is Glens Falls, but we can all remember when Clarks Mills used to be his fa- vorite spot. However, Walt’s happiest moments seem to be in school amongst our many attractive senior girls—or should we say senior girl? Seriously, WaL has a great talent for draw- ing, and we know it is not all his interest in models either. Walt has not told us his future plans yet, but we are all sure he would make a good store clerk since he has had plenty of practice.

VELMA GALUSHA—“Slats” “L ‘l Me Call You Sweetheart” Velma is one of those rare, lucky, individuals who possess a combination of many desirable traits: good looks, pleasant per- sonality, intelligence, and ambition. But perhaps we might ad- mit that she has one small defect in her make-up. That is her hesitancy in deciding between the several persistent applicants for her favor. Nevertheless, we believe that eventually she will conquer this fault and become an A plus wife as well as an A plus student.

VERNON MINER—“Tokey” “I Didn’t Sleep a Wink Last Night” We thought we were going to lose Vernon this year to the Navy because he was undecided whether to leave before school closed in June or not. However, the Navy did the deciding for him and told him to finish school. All the teachers will tell you that Vernon is noted for always having the best reason for taking a test later than the set time for it. He usually man- ages to be some place else when the make-up tests come along, too. However, maybe the Admirals will listen to reason more willingly. Smooth sailing for the future, Vernon.

CATHERINE MOODY—“Kale” “A Gry Nam?d Joe” Catherine has a characteristic wh’ch s mc have, but Ml de-ire. She is extremely go id natured. She would certainly have to be such in order lo withstand Peg Na ale’s teas , ig. She has a very unusual, but also attractive, combination of brown eyes and blonde hair. We all laugh when we recall her attempt at the apple pie in Home Economic class. Ne er mind. Kate. Thev say “Practice makes perfect” and we think you’ll make an ideal “homebody.” Junior Times (1); Junior High Chorus (I); Library lu’ (3); Burgoyno Crier (3); Intiamurais (1,3). MARGARET NATALE—“Peggy” “Jumpin’ Jive” “Peggy” is the typical specimen for the three V’s—vim, vigor, and vitality. We’ll always remember Peggy’s love of conversa- tion, wherever she might be, especially in English class. Peggy was also very active in school sports, basketball being her fa- vori !e. She thinks she might like to become a nurse. We’re sure she is especially fitted for this because of her unfailing energy and pleasing personality.

STEPHEN OSLICA—“Steve” “Please Think of Me” Steve is our only boy who has the honor of being an Eagle Scout, the goal of every Boy Scout. We know now that age does not make any difference with Steve as far as his interest in girls is concerned. We can remember when he had a certain “friendship” with a rural schoolteacher, but this year he seems to have his eye on a young freshman girl. It looks as if he is jumping from the grave to the cradle. Steve is thinking about going to college, and we are sure his interest is truly genuine— not merely as an interest in the co-eds. Successful “apple- polishing,” Steve.

CAROLINE PECHETTE—“Kay” “Someday My Prince Will Come” Caroline is especially noted for her friendliness. Her pleasant smile and hearty laugh would stand out in any crowd. Caro- line has an outstanding sense of responsibility, which is a joy to all the teachers. She always does her work without being coaxed, urged, threatened, and compelled. Caroline has always tried to do her best in school, and we know she will do likewise as she goes on through life. Junior High Chorus (I); Burgoyno Crier (3); Intramurals (1. 2. 3. 4). 16
