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

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.

RUTH WILLETTE—“Tootie” “Three Cheers for the Irish” Ruth especially asked me to write something about a certain Freshman at Union. It is very hard for Ruth to concentrate on studies from one week end to the next week end. Of course, also we’ll have to mention her arguments with Zoel and a “certain” Irishman over the comparative qualities of the French and Irish. Here’s hoping for success in your future undertakings, whether your boss be Irish, French, or just your own capable self. 41 42—President Freshman Rm. 11 Junior High Dramatics; 42-43 — Burgoyne Crier.

DENTON VANDER POEL—“Preacher” “Greenwich Village” Denton is noted throughout high school for his wise remarks. His witty sayings and clever ideas have cleared him of many social scrapes but somehow haven’t seemed to erase the zero from the teacher’s book for the missing homework paper. We have often seen him trudging up the Greenwich hill. Some people say he is out hunting, but why doesn’t he carry a gun? We wonder what species of dear he is pursuing. With his latent abilities, we feel certain that Denton will really go far in life ahead. 41-42—Junior Science Club: 44-45—Senior Discussion Club. Intramurals 1. 2. 3, 4. MARY YOUNG—“Youngie” “Sunday Dinner for a Soldier” Youngs are very well noted for their sweets, and one of their choicest sweets is Mary. She has a very pleasing personality which makes her well liked by everyone, especially by her in- separable companions, the two Theresas. Mary, who is planning to enter Oswego Teacher’s College next year, has been very diligent in her studios to further her am- bition even though her mind could have been distracted by an Army interest. We all are sure she will make a successful and popular teacher. 41-42—Vice-President Freshman Class. Junior Times. Intra murals; 42-43—Burgoyne Crier.
