METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1936 RUTH EVELYN HUEBNER' Sensible people jimi 'nothing useless. Conscientiousness and unselfishness typify the treasurer of the Girl Reserve Club, as well as her constant willingness to lend her aid. We all admire Ruth's brisk and easy way of walking. May you al- ways carry out your plans with the same easy man- ner. ALISON CAMILLA HUME Salutatorian Blue and White Staff 4 Student Council 3, 4 W1lsdom'is glorious and never fadeth away. Not even radio broadcasting could interrupt the progress of our popular Alison. Her winning coun- tenance, sense of fairness and frankness, and her impartiality won us all to her during high school days. She graced all the social events, sometimes as an usher and other times as a guest, thus show- ing her wonderful school spirit for ,M.H.S. Best of luck at Jackson and your journalistic career, Alison! MARY GERTRUDE JOAN JACKSON Pleasure is far sweeter as a recreation than as a business. Underneath her veneer of quiet reserve Mary is really a thoroughly likable person. Since her ad- vent in ,M.H..S., she has become a missionary in her own right, spreading a doctrine of school spirit. An advocate of the adage: Practice what you preach, she became a cheer leader in her senior year. Time has ever stood in second place with Mary, and we all know her breathless, last-minute entrances. May you never be locked out, ,Maryl RUTH EMELIA JONCAS Valedictorian ' Senior Play 4 Wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Tootie is very popular among her classmates.

1936 M lifIETHUEN HIGH SCHOOL JOHN DAVIS HALL, Jr. Orchestra 2 Friends should be preferred to kings. In school life, John seems to be an all round man. You may find him anywhere, doing practically any- thing. For this reason he is a familiar figure in all the circles of our school. HELEN E. HARNISCH Basketball 4 Laugh and the world laughs with you. Gifted with a keen sense of humor and the per- fect knack of provoking a laugh, Fritzie has been one of the bright spots of our classes. She has shown a great interest in sports, playing basketball and serving as cheer leader. ,May you ever be the same happy-go-lucky Helen! MARGARET ELIZABETH HILL Senior Play 4 Blue and White Stag 3 There's always a, funny side to things. Vivacious, cheery, full of fun, Betty is known at the High School for her taste in clothes as well as other things. Betty enjoys a laugh, and her smile is certainly catching.

1936 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL PAUL JOSEPH JOYCE Basketball Manager 4 Be gone dull care, 1 prithee, begone from me. To see Joycie, the King of our class, means to see something- a smile a mile wide and two bright eyes. He can usually wriggle his way through any- thing, if he wishes, without half trying. If you can solve the problem of life as easily as you solve those problems in Algebra, Joycie, your future is assured. ELEANOR SHIRLEY KELLEHER Every spirit makes its house. Napolean had his Waterloog Eleanor has her Chemistry. Although Eleanor hias had her troubles, she has not per-mitted them to get her down, but has always come smiling through. We hope you'll always do this, Eleanor! DOROTHY IDA KING Appearance bears away the bell almost in anything. Dorothy seems to be very quiet around school, but she serves as a supply house for borrowers. Constantly neat and well groomed is Dot and never ruffled, at least that we can see, unless it is when she becomes excited and begins to talk too fast. Good luck, Dot! ' . JOSEPH A. LOBELLO Football 2, 3, Co-captain 4 Basketball 3 Baseball 3 Captain 4 Argument is the spice of life. Active on gridiron and diamond, Joe is out- standing in M.H.S. athletics. Generous and sincere by nature, he is quick to the defense of his friends. We will long remember the toe that so often sent the pigskin gliding for the point after. Clear skies and smooth sailing, Joe ! 25 E 0 s ss sg-s. , sms , is MY sms 1
