1937 EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL WILLIAM ELLIS ARNOLD Football 2 3, 4 Basketball 2, 3, 4 Baseball 3 A laugh worth, a hundred groans 'in any market. Here is that two-hundred-ten pound gridiron warrior- Bill, the boy with the beautiful, self-administered UD finger Wave. Bill is indisputably one of our best athletes, being versatile, brawny, and sportsmanlike. Maybe We'll see the day when you are coaching your own team to beat Punchard, Bill. ANNA MARY BAJOR The only way to have a friend is to be one. In Anna We have an ideal student-ambitious, conscien- tious, and earnest.

NORMAN SCHOFIELD BENT Football 3, 4 Basketball 2, Capt. 4 Baseball 4 Every 'inch a sport. Bentie's chief claim to fame while at high school lies in his ability to make our varsity teams. The sports pages, besides our own eyes, have acquainted us With the athletic versatility of this young mang and to say the least, Ben- ty, M.H.S. is proud to claim you as its own. Keep shoot- ing square! DOROTHY E. BESHARA Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit. Here is one girl who can actually behave herself in school as Well as out.

EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL 1937 fl. B .- THEODORE CUYLER ACKROYD, JR. Baseball Manager How appealing is his shyness. A mop of curly hair and a congenial, nearly bashful nature characterize this son of Methuen. Teddy is the proverbial oyster who stepped out of his shell in his last years of school with us. He is a faithful attendant at our dances and this year was made baseball manager, a posi- tion Which proves his willingness to do his all for M.H.S. Cheerio, Teddy! EDITH MAE ADAMS Never a worry hath she. Did someone say the Einstein Theory was complicated? Well, Edith has solved another problem equally as diffi- cult, for in some mysterious manner, she has discovered an almost incredible way of leading a merry social life, yet never being caught napping at her studies. May this aptitude accompany your future success, Edie! HAROLD B. ADAMS She loves me- She loves me not. Harold is another of our boys who has the courage of his convictions. For this quality we commend him highly. His arguments and level-headed reasoning in English class show that he has his own ideas and will not change them unless thoroughly convinced he is wrong. This asset will help you in years to come, Harold! OLGA ANDRUCHOW Where there's a will the're's a way. Our representative from the Howe district is pleasant, unobtrusive Olga. She possesses one of those fascinating smiles which is frequently in evidence. Just as Olga has been an asset to our class, we hope she will likewise be in the beauticians' field. WALTER HOWARD ARMITAGE Lieutenant, Cadets 4 Football 4 Baseball 3 Captain 4 Traffic Squad Take me out to the ball game. We are still wondering where Walter got the nickname of ,Mayo. Nevertheless let us present two striking sides to his character. To some of us he is the quiet, almost shy boy who shuns the feminine wiles, but to his more inti- mate friends, he is that amiable young man who surprised us so this year by donning football raiment and coming through with flying colors. As baseball captain he proved he was good. We wish you all hits and no errors in the game of life. ' 14

EDWARD F SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL 1937 ROSE BIRTLES A maiden never bold of spirit- still and quiet. In her quiet, unassuming Way, Rose added a certain something to our class with her sweetness and ingenious- ness. Rose seems to show evidence of having what it takes to become a success in the commercial field. May this be an asset to you in whatever you do next year. HELEN MARIE BOGANNAM Where did you get those eyes. Helen is the proud owner of a pair of large brown eyes, the envy of many a lass. Not the least of her attributes is a pleasing taste in dressing plus a marked ability in de- signing and sewing. We do hope you will follow a career in the domestic line, Helen. DOROTHY RUTH BOHNE So winsome and bormyf' Dot is a born mischief maker! In a class so devoid QU of this type of person, we owe Dot a vote of thanks for her classroom stunts. We expect you will carry on in the secretarial field with remarkable ability, Dot, and wc know your radiant spirit will lend its aid to your success. JEANETTE BEATRICE BOLDUC Senior Play Her ticket from nature is stamped in her smile. Jeanette is a jolie femme who looks unquestionably an: gelic. As to the veracity of this title in real life we will not say Seriously, Jeanette, we vote you as one of our most sincere pals. Your smile seems virtually to possess the warmth to melt any icy front - - - and we fervently hope it will melt the icy front of life with similar ease. EDWARD EVERETT BOND Blue and White Staff 4 Life is just a bowl ofcherries. Eddie is a staunch advocate of the old adage, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. For actual proof of this,one need only to visit a few of the classes of which he and his side-kick, Di Lavore, are members. lRemem- ber the Battle of the Gunboats, Eddie?J In spite of his being a funster , he accomplished his scholastic duties rather well. Eddie's next stop is as yet unknown, but wherever it is he has our wishes for good luck. 16
