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. Junior High Dramatics (1); Junior Hi :h Chorus (1); Local History Club (2); Spons Council (3); Intramurals (1. 2. 3. 4). 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

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.

WILMA PH ILLI PS—“Phlip” “He’s My Guy” Wilma is the possessor of beautiful, naturally curly ash-blonde hair which covers a very good set of brains as well. What is more, those brains have been used which is not always the case among high school pupils. Wilma is not only a good student, but she has also been very active in the various school projects. Her plans are to go to college to study for a teaching role, but we may still ha e a surprise in store if she decides to follow her secret ambition. Here’s wishing for “straight shooting” to the heights of success.

ROBERT PHILLIPS—“Lightning” “Take It Easy” Bob was the most sought after boy this year. His secret—the locker keys were in his p «session. We also hear that his beau- tiful, dark, cuily hair is the envy of all the freshmen girls. Any teacher will tell you that Bob is noted for his dependability. Although he’s small and quiet, he’s always ready, and cheer- fully so, when there’s work to be done.

DOROTHY RUSSELL—“Dot” “If, Love Love. Love” Dorothy is one who can keep her mind on two things at once with almost no trouble at all. Just a glance at her averages shows that she is interested in her studies. However, she must let her heart stray, for the mention of Kiska will bring forth a blush. Seriously speaking, Dot has been a great asset to our class. She has worked diligently throughout her high school years, and all of u are confident »hat she will be a success in any field of l;fe she may choose.

RICHARD TOWNLEY—“Dick” “Have I Stayed Away Too Long?” Dick is our valedictorian this year, which is proof enough of his excellent marks and good work. We were all sorry to see him leave in December and were glad to hear of his promised return in the spring. It was very amusing to see the look on his face when everyo.ie, including his mother, yelled “Surprise” at his farewell party. Dick is getting a taste of the future coming to many of our boys soon while living with W.s father in the Army. We think Dick is destined for an engineering career, and to him we give our best wishes for success.
