1945 Statistics In September of 1944, Sheffield High School unrolled its red velvet carpet to welcome fifteen marvelous, stupendous, colossal and dignified Seniors into its Marble Halls. Winifred Kirchner — Winnie is planning to be a secretary and may even go to Wash- ington. Don ' t be surprised if you hear that Winnie has become President Truman ' s private secretary. Good luck, Winnie! Joan Schopp — Joan, who originally hailed from New Rochelle, N. Y., has been our guiding star this year. She also made a hit with our star basketball player. Ruth Stevens — Ruth is an exception to the old saying, Beautiful but dumb. Ruth will make a lot of serious business men ' s hearts beat faster. Their minds should be on their work, Ruth. Mary Small — Mary is our class wit but please forgive her — She ' s only trying to prove that Sheffield should be located in the Corn Belt. Paul Charbonneau — Have you heard that Van Johnson is resigning? AH the bobby- soxers are simply sw-o-o-n crazy since Paul made his debut in The Nutt Family. Brother, what a line! Julia Delmolino — A wee bonnie lass, but remember all good things come in small packages. Augusta Cartinelli — Gussie doesn ' t answer the wolf calls of S.H.S. ' s wolves — her heart belongs to a sailor named Pete. June Conklin — June may not have gotten the title of Class Flirt but she did her share. Wolverines are plentiful this year. Beverly Lander — She ' s tall, dark and cute but what a temper! Who ' s going to be boss, Bev; you or that fella in Navy Blues out at M.I.T.? Fred Sidelinger — Si is going to take to the high seas and see all those places he hasn ' t been studying about. Nat is going to be awfully lonesome, Si. Betty Gordon — Betty is the Duchess of the class, always doing her bit to make the class successful. Her Duke is overseas doing his bit for his country. John Bonn — Our class heart-throb is serving in Uncle Sam ' s Navy — this is probably the cause of increased Wave enlistments. Ethel Wanger — We don ' t know what we would have done without Ethel, she was the official ticket seller at all our dances. You did a swell job, Ethel. Thanks! Hazel Markham — Silence is Golden is Hazel ' s motto and it should make her a suc- cess in the career she chooses. Marion Moesley — Have you been getting the wrong telephone numbers lately? Mose is the new operator and is inclined to come in on the wrong beam. You have now heard of the high ideals of success these immortal creatures strove for and obtained! We sincerely hope that all future classes will do as well. Julia Delmolino Marion Moesley
