1937 EDWARD F SEALRLES HIGH SCHOOL GEORGE W. BRAGDON Captain Cadets 4 Traffic Squad He lives to build -not to boast. A more courteous, like-able lad would be hard to find. In addition is a top-rating student and one of our handsome cadet officers. He has a rather strong aversion to women in general and must be sincere in this respect for he tends strictly to business alll day. George can justly be proud of the honorary title conferred upon him, that of the quiet- est boy in noisy senior -French. We know that at Mass- achusetts State, George, you will make a name for your- self. JAMES BROWN Women delight me not. Who is that bas-hful Joe who looks down shyly as pert young girls give him the eye. Why, don't you know? It's Hank Brown! James' affinity to books results in his be- ing very well read on current topics. James is quite an apt cartoonist, consequently we hope to read his comic strips someday. DOROTHY CELIA BRUNO The only way to have a friend, is to be one. Dorothy is a true member of the Bruno family, being fastidious in appearance, very obliging, and musically in- clined. As an orchestra member for four years, Dot has held up the family tradition with her violin playing. In your persual of a musical career, Dot, you have our best wishes for good notes. VIVIAN CORRINE BRUNO So friendly-so helping-so true. To all four humble associate Editors, Vivian, of the whole Senior class, has indeed been a veritable Lady of Mysteryf' We investigated her case and to our delight, the Know-it-alle bear the firm sincere conviction that she is frank, open, and most obliging, the antonyms of mystery Vivian's obliging nature cannot be well appre- ciated without having taken advantage of it-all of which information causes us to state confidently that Vivian is as human and as free of mystery as the next one. ALICE BERTHA BULLOCK Quiet and sweet. Thoughtful and neat. ll If there was ever an angelic person, it is Alice. Her unaffected naturalness and simplicity certainly produce envy in us. Fondly we recall how she slipped into class every fourth period for lunch orders so quietly that we hardly noticed if it were not for the fact that we antici- pated her appearance. As quietly as you remained with us, just so quietly will you reach your goal! 17

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

EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL 1937 gf .s Q I sh. ', i I . 1 J. st' Nm.. 8,6 RUTH BUNTING Ah, those 'rosy cheelcs. ' This rosy-cheeked lass from one of the remote sections of town is a live wire if ever there was one She is chuck full of good spirits and joie de Vivre. One look at Ruthie will convince you that she has the vivacity to get by in the future. ROBERT F. BRYANT Traffic Squad 4 Hail the conquering hero comes. Collegiate shirts, snappy bow ties, immaculate clothes are synonymous of Bob. Truly, he could justifiably wear on his back the placard What the well-dressed man will wear. Not only is Bob considered a regular among the fellows, but he is the B M. lBi,q Moment! of many a lass- ie. We are certain, though that Bob will be more than a passing moment of fancy in his later life. SUSIE SIBLEY CAMPBELL As sunny as the sky above us. Sue is one of our good-natured blondes who has a par- ticularly lovely smile which she bestows most liberally on her classmates. She is more on the quiet side in school, but we remember how she exerted unlimited energy at our football games. Your efforts will not fro unrewarded, Sue! GLAIJYS MARIE CARTER Year Book Staii' ' 'Dem u re and dignified is she , But full offtm as she can be. ' One of our blonde sirens is Gladys, the attractive and stylish member of the Hexvson-Carter team. Because of this outside interest, Gladys has not given us as much time as we should have liked, but her work on the year book committee redeems her in our sight. So long, lladys! MA'l'lLlJA S. CEBULA Little saidg much accomplished. Tillie's sober mien and shy mannerisms have won her the title of the quietest girl. VVe know she is clever, sin- cere, and obligingr-but very modest about her honors in shorthand. May your years be crowned with success, Tillie! 18
