Constance Ann Ploski ff Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Cheerleader—2, 3, 4 Basketball—2 Glee Club—1, 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club—4 Another sparkling personality is that of “Connie” Ploski. It may truly be said of her: ' —A m ' erry lass is she. Laughter is her password into the hearts of her companions and twinkling eyes, her trademark. When not hard at work at Rivervi’ew Restaurant, she attends school dances where she exercises her favorite pastime. A cheerleader since her sophomore year, “Connie” is one of the most spirited of the troupe. Although your plans are not definite, “Con¬ nie”, we know your future can only be a success and a joy to you. Shirley E. Sanborn Wisdom comes to no one by chance.” Glee Club Pianist—1, 2, 3, 4, French Club—3, 4 Orchestra—1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary—4 Round Table—4 Dramatic Club—3, 4 Basketball—2 3, 4 Secretary—4 Honor Roll—1, 2, 3, 4 Success is a magic word composed of a number of important qualities; a word which implies talent, direction and plain work. Shirley has combined those qualities to make her high school career highly luc rative. For when it comes to scholarship and extra talent, she hit the top as an all-round student. Her ability is not confined to study, for she engages in music, sports, dramatic, and other club work. It is difficult for a person with her talent to be modest and unpretentious, but here again Shirley scores a hit. Her ambition to enter the Diplomatic Corps is worthy of the unselfish application she renders a job. Shirley Sanborn’s kind of success may not get her a movie contract, set her name in lights, or put her bit of biography in “Who’s Who”, but there are unlimited jobs for her in this world, and she’ll do them well—and both types of story add up to the same title—success. Barbara Ann Shannon Barb” Glee Club—1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Shorthand Club—4 Honor Roll—1, 2, 3, 4 It seems so strange that such virtues as friend¬ liness, intelligence, cheerfulness, and all round good nature could all be found in one little person. Barb has been known and admired by her classmates for all of these qualities. For four years Barb has worked diligently as a commercial student and has proven to all her ability and her true value as a friend. She plans to go further in the commercial field. Good luck, Barb, may your power to make friends and to keep them be always as potent as it is now.

Evidently som’eon e else shares our opin¬ ion, for she has the distinction of being the first girl in our class to become engaged. Another worthy classmate, “Phyl” has never shirked responsibilities and has been prominent in our society here at the school. Although she may not be a career girl, “Phyl’s” intelligence will always be an invaluable asset. As long as S. H. S. produces girls of her calibre, it fully deserves the exalted position it occupies in all our minds. Sincere wishes for a blissful future, “Phyl”.

Marilyn Claire Shaw Speech is great, but silence greater Shorthand Club—4 A maid of modesty is Marilyn Shaw. Though a person of unpretentious habits in the classroom, she is nevertheless, a good-natured, delightful compan¬ ion. She will never be found shirking her share of the burden, but rather carrying on in that quiet, uncomplaining manner so characteristic of her. De¬ serving of mention as proof of Marilyn’s capability is her acqquisition of the highest honor of the Order of Rainbow for Girls, the title of Worthy Advisor. At present, her interests center upon a career in bookkeeping. In whatever you attempt, Marilyn, the best wishes of the Class are always with you. Claire Louise Silvia The soul is strong that trust in goodness Glee Club—4 Claire is a product of the Village School and has established at S. H. S. the reputation of being a hard worker. Characterized by a docile disposition, she has gone through school with an easy, carefree manner, pursuing a commercial course. Her love of dancing prompts her to attend many Terpsichorean affairs, especially at Taunton. A kind-hearted per¬ sonality in every way, we admonish the world to treat her with care. She plans to become a beau¬ tician. Lots of luck, Claire. Edna Mae Snyder A smile that glower Glee club—1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball—2, 3, 4 Senior Shorthand Club—4 Edna is another of those possessed with reliabil¬ ity and steady, pleasant personalities who constitute the nucleus of any successful organization. Being from a family of sports, both literally and figurative¬ ly, she has been one of the most prominent mem¬ bers of the basketball squad. Edna has had no diffi¬ culty in acquiring a wide circle of worthwhile friends. Her sights are on a secretarial vocation. We logically, reason that her pleasantness will be welcomed in that crowded occupation. Keep smiling, Sport, and we have no cause to doubt your future success.
