PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO THADDEUS BESKO Sam We will always remember Teddy Besko from Bradstreet for his famous grin. Teddy, who took the general course, was a member of the glee club for four years, and was also active in the chorus for four years. Teddy is a sports enthusiast and was on the baseball team during his freshman year, on the soccer team during his sophomore year, and on the basketball team during his junior and senior years. Teddy was manager of the soccer team during his last two years in school. We are sure he will be a good farmer because he was chosen president of the S. A. Chapter of Future Farmers of America during his senior year. Teddy is seen quite ofter at the dances at White Eagle. Could it be a blonde there or just to dance? EVELYN CACKOWSKI Evie Evelyn Cackowski, a bright-eyed girl who comes from Bradstreet, took the commercial course for four years. She also took House hold Arts her second and third year. Evelyn belonged to the chorus and girls ' glee club for four years. She was outstanding in her sewing and cooking and was one of the girls chosen for the interior decoration job in the girls ' room. She ' ll never forget Redman ' s or White Eagle, and that certain lad from Sunderland. ESTHER CARTER Es Esther, one of our out-of-town students who entered Smith Academy in her junior year, is one of our honor students. We find Esther, editor-in- chief of our year book, outstanding in all her studies, as well as extra- curricular activities. In her senior year she became a Thespian and took part in the senior play, A Date With Judy as Hannah the cook. She be- came a prominent member of the Pro Merito in her junior year and pre- sident in her senior year. In her senior year she was also our class secretary, as well as assistant editor of the school paper and editor-in-chief of the yearbook. She was also one of the chief typists on the school papsr staff in her junior year. We all can agree that Esther ' s outstanding ability will carry her through to success! FRANCIS DUGAL Dugie This young boy is one of our Hatfield students who has taken the commercial course during his four years in Smith Academy. In his third year he became feature editor of the school paper and presented us with some very worth-while features. He has also been one of our typists on the school paper and yearbook staffs in his junior and senior years. In his senior year he became our class treasurer. We all know Francis loves to study. Especially bookeeping! He is also known as the class quiz kid. Francis ' favorite pastime is bothering the girls; for wherever you see the girls, you see Fran.

Dick was also a member of our yearbook staff in his senior year. Aside from this, he showed interest in athletics and played both soccer and base- ball in his sophomore year. He rates high with a girl named Ruthie, whom he met on our class trip; and if you ever want to hear stories about our trip, Dick should be able to tell you many.
