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

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. Always friendly, busy, studious, and willing, she has attained a high scholastic as well as social standing. Remember Aunt Sophia's false teeth? We all wish you success in whatever profession you undertake, Ruth. 24

METIIUEIN Hlcn SCHOOL l93Q ARMAND E. LAMORE Senior Play 4 E'ue'ryone's manners make his fortune. Although Arm-and is quiet and unpretentious at school, we have all seen him otherwise when in company with his constant companion at social functions, Tootie. He is very particular about his appearance and studies to obtain perfection. His sense of subtle humor creeps out at the most op- portune moments. Keep it up, Yami! BLANCHE TERESA LA ROSA Wo'rk's no disgraceg it is fidlenesss which is a disgrace. Blanche always seems to be busy and to have school duties to attend to. She has many friends and always has a cheery greeting and smile for a passer-by. Her calm and easy disposition, and Wil- lingness to help to the best of her ability, mark her as a girl worth knowing. HARRY LOVELL LESURE, Jr. Blue and White Staff 4 Senior Play -1 ' 'An ounce ofprudence 18 worth a pound ofgold. Harry has the quality of being able to concen- trate solely upon that which he is doing. He can become so deeply interested in something as to be oblivious to the outside world. He enjoys reading' and journalism, and whenever he expresses his opinions, it is with all seriousness and meaning. Keep right on doing it, Harry! VIRGINIA MARION LEAVER Mischief sparkles in her eyes. The class of '36 without Ginny would be some- thing like an elastic without its snap. During her senior year, as a cheer leader, she devoted the sur- plus of her energy to encouraging our boys in their efforts on the football field. A springing walk, a ready smile, a mischievous twinkle-that's Ginny. 26,
