ROBERT O’BRIEN—“Obie” “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” Being an O’Brien, Bob has plenty of athletic spirit in his blood. But Bob has had the hard luck of having to pass up sports the past two years. He broke his leg last spring during the base- ball season and again this year before the basketball season. Despite his difficulties Bob is always happy and gay in the classes, very often to a degree of rascality. It seems to be contagious, and his almost inseparable companions. Jack and Gene, aren’t at all immune to it. It isn’t probable that Bob will ever become another Ein- stein, but I imagine he has at least learned to operate a fire extinguisher this year. Best wishes to our future fireman. Bob! •11-42 -President Junior Student Council. Junior Orchestra.

EILEEN NEVINS—“LiP9 “Follow the Boys” Whenever you hear a loud merry “ha-ha,” you know Eileen is around somewhere. Eileen likes a good time and seems to be always able to find it for she is very lively and popular among the boys. . .remember that occasion when she was the only girl with seven boys who went to Saratoga to buy the tickets for the Senior trip? She has a special interest however in a dark, good-looking junior boy. Eileen has taken part in the plays through high school, being a very good actress. However her desire is to become a voice teacher for which she also has excellent qualifications. Sing your way to success, Eileen, as we know you will. 41-42—Junior High Dramatics, Junior Times.

EUGENE PERIARI)—“Perry” “Hail, the Conquering Hero” Gene is the business man of the Senior class. If there were such an organization of deviltry makers. Gene would surely be elected president. His witticisms do not always fall upon the student body, but the faculty is sometimes victims to them. His apparent non-interest in girls is superficial; he’s just hard to satisfy. Gene has ambitions to become a bookkeeper in his father’s store. Let’s hope he does as well there as he does in his financial responsibilities in the school. 41-42—Junior High Intramural», J V.

It is probably Theresa cooking some of the many good dishes she knows how to prepare. She and Theresa De- Grechie have had a great deal of experience cooking for the Skidmore girls at Bullard’s this past summer. Because you have such an interest in foods, we feel you would make a very good dietician. Are these your future plans, Theresa? 41- 42 -Junior Times Publication.

JOHN McCARTY—“Jack” “For Whom the Bell Tolls” Buzz! goes the buzzer. In walks Jack all out of breath from running. He seems to know just when to start and how fast to run because he always gets in our homeroom just as the last bell stops ringing. It will take more practice than that to outrun those girl pur- suers. They seem to be better than you, Jack! 41-42—J. V Basketball. Junior High Band. Junior High Sri- Baseball.

ANNA M FLAG A—“Sambo” “I Love a Soldier” Anna Melaga is known as one of the quietest girls in the Senior class. In spite of teasing Anna has remained good natured. Of course we know she doesn’t really mind being teased about Sammy! As for her future plans, I understand she intends to be a physical education teacher. They also tell me she has remarkable tendencies towards sewing. Whatever you choose, good luck, Anna. 41-4°—.Timor High Intramural • 42-43—Senior Hi h Inf »• murals. Library Club: 43-44—Library.

MARTIN MUNSON—“Marly” “Little Old New York” Martin could be voted the most legal-minded boy of the class as especially demonstrated in business arithmetic class. There have been countless times Martin has found technicalities in Miss Brignola’s statements and has not hesitated to inform her so. Besides his contagious humor, Martin’s blonde hair and blue eyes have been found fascinating by many girls. Although most teachers think he would make a good lawyer, he savs he is going to be a farmer. We’re sure Martin will find the same delight in life he has always found in whatever he chooses. 4 1-42—Junior High Science Club.

ALICE NEVINS—“ I ” “Career Girl” Alice is one of the future secretaries of the Senior class. She has proved her secretarial ability by passing her commer- cial subjects with flying colors. We all think she will suc- ceed in her chosen career. Alice enjoys sports of various kinds and takes an active part in the athletic activities of the school. She participated in the games with Greenwich and Salem. We hope you have as great a success in years to come as you have had in school. Good luck, Alice! 41-42—Junior Times.

ROBERT SANDERS—“Bob” “The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk” Bob is the quietest boy in the graduating class of 1945. It is apparent that he enjoys reading for he is almost always seen with a book or magazine. We have heard of no romance in his life but think he would make a good beau for one of the quiet girls in our class. Or maybe he has a girl from some nearby place. We hear that you would like to be a carpenter. May you build your way to success, Bob! 41-42—Intramural : 42-43—Library Club; 43-44—Library Club: 44-45—Intramurals. ANN ROGERS—“Buck” “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” Ann is one of the senior girls planning on a nurse’s career. Because of her efficiency and friendliness any patient would be happy to remain sick. Besides, we think that she would look something less than unattractive in a nurse’s uniform. We often see Ann in the midst of a group of girls whispering and giggling, both in and out of class, but as for her mascu- line associations we understand she stays on her own side of the river. Good luck to one of the most co-operative girls of the class. 41-42—Junior Times Publication; 42-43—Library Club; 43-44—Senior High Intramural»: 44-45—Library Club. Schuyler StafY (Kditor). Senior Plays. LESTER STILES— Bud” “Winged Victory” Say! did you get that trig problem done for today? Maybe Lester, the great mathematician of the Senior class can show you how to do it. He always was good at such things. Lester, too, excels in science and likes to experiment with chemicals. We all remember the “perfume” he put in the Christmas grab bag and the sulphur he had in English class one day last year. Maybe you will become famous for your great inventions some day, Lester. 41-42—Vice-President of Junior Student Council.

MILDRED WILLETTE— Tillie'9 “Woman in the Window” Tillie Willette is one of the small girls of the class, but her size does not represent the energy she possesses when her temper is aroused. She enjoys a really good argument. She is also seen writing to a fellow in the air corps. Tillie’s affections may change (we remember noon-hour ro- mancing of Dick and Tillie last year, and well, Martin wasn’t averse to the English class seating arrangement this year) but we’re sure that she will always have friends and de- servedly so. 41-42—Junior Timex; 42-43—Secretary Sophomore Class, Burgoyne Crier; 43-44—Junior High Intramural». 20
