1937 EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL EDWARD H. GANLEY Basketball, Mgr. 4 f Traffic Squad Lieut., Cadets 4 Oh, for the open road. One glance at the merry crowd breezinig by in Eddlie's automoblie proves his popullarity among boys as Well as girls. He has run a jitney for the past year, transporting Itgiadriis to all our athletic contests. Thanks for the rider, i ie. CARROLL LELAND GATES Adjutant, Cadets 4 Traffic Squad He has an eye for beauty. Although Carroll has been with us for only part of his high school career, he has made a rapid rise in the recog- nition of our class. Through his persistence and natural capacity, Carroll was advanced to the rank of adjutant in the cadet corps. He, too, has laspirationis- towards the Navy, and assuming you will realize your desire, Carroll, don't give up the ship! DONALD J. GAUMOND Captain, Cadets 4 Traffic Squad 'Toe got my love to keep me warm. Dawn, as his name implies, is one of the most so- ciable, most jovial of our boys. It is a Well-known fact th-at Where there's Don, itherefs a certain cute Junior girl. But We know equally as Well that Where there's Don there's genuine good fun. Senior classmates owe Donald ahdebt for the bits of mirth he so frequenitily inspired in t em. We? BERNICE ARLENE GILES Class Song We called her the angle 'iw white. in A swish of white starched skirts, a toss of a pretty red ahead, and We have Bernice. Yes, she intends to train for nursing, and considering her cool, unruffled nature and contagious smile, we envy her future patients. 'Wg vw- BEVERLEY GOODALE Year Book Committee Basketball 4 Student Council 4 She aims above the mark to hit the tree. One in a million! No, not Sonja Henie, but Beverley Goodale, that exceptionally fine student who bears her scholastic honors so modestly. Bim is not only one of our r brainiest girls but also shows perfect Hnesse on the bas- 4 ' ketball floor. We shall miss you, Bev, but are glad to see 3 you step to higher attainments. . A 23

EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL 1937 ' 1 4? I A WG. 'ES' 'rx 1. VIRGINIA B. EDWARDS Hair ofa maiden's prayer. From her lovely crop of curly hair to her keen wisdom, Ginny is naturalness personified-and nature certainly smiled with warmth and favor, for Ginny is tops in both her attractiveness and her brains. Your Willingness plus that tendency to put the best into life are certain to reap you a harvest abundantly rich! ARLINE EICHORN Historian ' President 1, 2 Endowed with the greatest giji ofall-brilliancyf' Last year a sophomore - this year a graduate. What does it mean? Simply that Arline has the intellect and persistence to combine two years' work and even added to this distinction by emerging with one of the highest schol- astic ratings of us all. March on, Arline, and be as gieat a pride to the nursing profession as you have been to .Methuen High School. GABRIEL FALCON A lfittlejcllow-but zrhat a noise. ' If you haven't heard of Gabriel, it's not his fault. For he is tooting the proverbial horn until the one-thirty bell ends his misery. Gabby believes that Silence is golden but takes advantage of the fact that we're off the gold standard. All kidding aside, Gabe , we are forced to confess that without your audible presence our school sometimes would be a dull place. It's a great life, Gabe! CATHERINE JULIA FLORENZ 'Tjzzietness is a l'1'7'f ue. Kay is numbered among our industrious commercial workcrs as both obliging and ambitious in her tasks, two traits which hold much promise for her. Meanwhile, we wonder if Kay will eltablish a wireless station from the East end of the town to the West - in order to continue the daily correspondence with Ginny. LOUISE 0. GAGE Her stuteliness is queenlyf' Rarely do we see this good looking maid without her constant escorts during the lunch period, unless it's one of thc days Louise manages to miss a school session. Re- gziiwlless, we all will acclaim Louise as one of our most versatile members and sincerely hope she will follow up the good work which she started in art class of designing. You'd make a dandy designer, Louise! 22

EDWARD F SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL 1937 FRANCES EDNA GOULD Gentle in manner-kind in thought. Through a natural tendency to be reticent, Frannie has Chied any position that would place her in the foreground of our class. However, we can never accuse Frannie of a lack of school Spirit, for in this respect she is right there. We hope your success will be attained in the same quiet way in the future, Frances. ELEANOR MANLA GRACE Tiny cogs turn mighty wheels. At eight-ten each morning, we invariably find Eleanor in her homeroom-where all good girls should be. .brush- ing up on the answers she gives with such ease in every class. Eleanor's remarks, though few, are salted with wit and good seasoning-and she will ever be remembered as a member of the famous shrimp club. Eleanor's pres- ent cogitations as to future vocation are still unsettled- Lut we look forward to big results. PAULINE BERTHA GRAICHEN Basketball 25, 4 Just llll All-.flIllE'I'l'l'IllI g1'7'I.'n The girls' basketball squad will recall with amusement the sinking heart wiih which an opposing forward would receive the had news that the Dread Graichen was starting at guard. Polly certainly has what it takes to make a perfect athlete, but her basketball prowess is not her only nne characteristic, for she is the best friend one could ask for, frank, sincere, and sporting. You deserve the best in life, Polly! ARTHUR A. GRENIER Baseball 4 Regime, :lull 1-ure, Thou and I shall never agree. The day would he off to a poor start without Arthur's boisterous manner of breczing into school at 8.20. This witty young man is the lat word in joviality, high spirits, and good looks. And now, Art, we leave you with the hope that you will continue dispelling gloom wherever you are. CECILE MARY GUERARD What sweet delight a quiet life qffbrdsf' What would our class do without dimpled smiles like Cecile's to encourage and cheer us? She gives forth an air, shy and unobtrusiveg but, confidentially, reliable sources claim that in addition, she is cheerful and willing' to accept the ludicrous side of life-all desirable traits, Cecile, and with them you can't fail. 24
