1937 EDWARD F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL DOROTHY Y. LABELLE There's so much mirth and wit about thee. Coming to -us in our Junior year, Dot made 'a rapid and steady rise to popularity. Being an exceptionally good dancer, Dot is in great demand at our socials. S-he is al- ways chic in appearance, and really very attractive. May you always dance away your cares, Dot! RAYMOND WALTER LAFRENIER Women delight me. Who's that ladies' man who stations himself outside room 23 between clasxses? Why, that's Ray, who spends- the few minutes before each class giving a cheery How- de-do to the female members of the school. Once the bell announces the beginning of a recitation, however, Ray resumes his more serious qualities, forgets more amusing things, and tends strictly to business. This is a good practice, Ray. ANTHONY LAHOUD Blessed is he who invented sleep. Introducing that rather studious, rather shy, very lilie- able an-d well-mannered Anthony! His responses in Eng- lish class are evidence of his level-headednes-s and subtle humor, while in French his apparent lack of enthusiasm over such works as Tartarin die Tarascon adds zest to an already fine class. Your classmates join in saying Bon amusement, Anthony. ' n ROBERT ROY LAKE Capt. Cadets 4 I Traffic Squad Vice President 1, 2 Nice to talk with -- Better to dance with. .Make room, Gene Austin!

But her worries were for naught because she now stands near the top of our high scholastic ladder. Although she has an angelic appearance, we are inclined to wonder about her actions outside of school. However, hard work like yours never goes unrewarded-so keep it up, old girl! ROLAND C. KORB Full Qflzlfe, and jlclt qffun- Speaking Qfsports, he's one. Much can be said about Rolie's ability to make friends easily, for in less than two weeks with us he was as well-known and had us many acquaintenances as any one of us. Nothing seems to bother Rolieg he takes the bitter with the sweet and is always the same affable person. Your addition to our class, Rolie, has been one of the good things that happened to us this year.

If you were to see five feet-one inch of sense of humor strolling 'round the corridors, you would rush up and, 'With a slap on the back, say, Hi, Gus! Then you would see why we voted Gus our class Sonny boyg for isn't he the happiest, most easy going fellow you ever saw? Yes, it is certainly surprising how much good companionship can be wrapped in one small package. Keep grinning, Gus!

As class President and Cadet Major, Ernie has gained popularity as an exceptional leader. Doubtless, Ernie, your enviable initiative and industry will sing your praises in later life as in high school. MARY JANE LEE Her eyes are darkly, deeply, beautifully blue. If seeing believing, cast your optics on the winning countenance of this member of our only set of twins, and see if she isn't one of our loveliest girls. Jane is one of those characters who has a mind of her own, and clings to her opinions with tenacity of spirit. We commend you for this trait, Jane, and know it will be one of the means to your inevitable good fortune in life. JANET T. LEE USIIIIVU noscqjet lflaclr hair Pcppy--pretly--so bclrare.

Being gifted with the art of making friends, Millie, in turn, has a host of friends to wish her well. 30
