AS WE KNOW THEM . JOSEPHABBEY One of the quietest, but most well-liked boys is blond, blue- eyed, non-chalant Joe Abbey. He likes being with a crowd and surprises all by his devilish nature. Joe's stamp album tells a tale of its own. His hours of work on it are not bemoaned, for it's fun for Joe. His accuracy with figures was promptly discovered when he was elected class treasurer, and we, more or less, looked forward to his weekly call for class dues. It's being noiscd about that Uncle Sam has put in his bid for Joe. He's getting a fine, all round chap. Good luck ole' pal. LOIS AMBS Busy as a bee, charming as a queen--tall and slender--friendly yet business-like. All this denotes no one else but Lois AllllJS. Report card marks high, many loyal friends, this blue-eyed brunette will be very happy in her chosen vocation, for she always finishes every- thing she undertakes, and crowns her achievements with success. My hat's off to you Lois Ambs! There will never be another you.', Rosemary Kittelton BETTY BOONE At one glance everyone recognizes attractive Betty Boone. Her friendliness and cordiality have made her lll0St popular with her classmates. She stands about 5'5 , has gray eyes and beautiful blond wavy hair. Collecting records and bowling occupy most of her free time. Her interest in photography, topped off with her ease, grace and fondness for dancing are proof that whatever she under- takes is done well. Frank Czyrw '43 MARGARET BRESNAHAN Bubbling with care-free adventure and enthusiastic interest in all sports, Margaret would be desolate with-out the basketball and roller-skating in which she excels. Though very quiet and unas- suming, her sincerity, ready cooperation and athletic ability are rec- ognized and appreciated by us, her classmates. Dark haired, start- lingly clear blue eyes ..... a typical American girl. Mag, you will be in our memory always. Charlene Trollman '43 ROBERT BROWN They all call him Speck',-a tall, lanky lad with mischievious blue eyes, reddish brown hair and freckles which gained for him his tell-tale nickname. His slow, easy, friendly manner makes him a favorite among his classmates and his sportmanship classes him as a regular fellow . Speck is an old timer at ball playing, and his athletic ability has been praiseworthy. A natural athlete, he has had a regular berth on the basketball team and has contributed his share in bringing home the bacon . Alys Currier Page fifty 'SEVEN

page KATHLEEN CARROLL One member of the Senior Class who believes that silence is golden is Kathleen. Quiet, almost to the point of shyness, she makes each day useful and cheerful, proving that she knows the worth of time by employing it well. Her sincerity and high ideals have made her well liked among her classmates. We hope your fondest am- bitions are realized, Kathleen, and that happiness and success will attend you through life. Dick Maher, '43 EILEEN CHASE - And here is Eileen, complacent, versatile, sincere. lf you hear a pleasant, low drawl accompanied by a dazzling smile and a tilt of the head, you may be sure that the possessor is Eileen. Although small in stature, Eileen rises above the crowd with her quaint dainti- ness and agrceabilty. She adds a spark of life to any gathering, and takes an active part in all school activities. Lois Ambs EVA CIPCIC She speaks and acts just as she ought. A quiet, unobtrusive manner is characteristic of Eva. Her smile and sunny disposition lend a cheerful glow to the atmosphere. Never in the way, but always present when she is needed, willing and eager to lend a help- ing hand. Eva's conscience never troubles her over slighted lessons. She says that a seventy is as good as a ninety for a passing mark, and why worry just as long as she gets there. Lois Ambs '43 EDWARD COBB The second semester found a new member in our class swelling our number to thirty-eight. His collection of jokes invited ready listeners, and also tagged him a likeable chap. Edward is a good student and enjoys sports of any kind. He especially likes football, at which he is quite a capable player. His hobby is collecting butter- flies and stamps, swimming too, is a favorite pastime. Although he has not revealed his future plans, his characteris- tics of diligence and perseverance are sure to aid in whatever voca- tion he chooses. ' Robert Brown ALYS CURRIER With the quiet unobtrusiveness that is so indicative of her, Alys slipped into the heart of the class one day and will remain there irrevocably. Never too busy to lend a helping hand, always ready to appreciate a good joke, she is one of those friends whose loyalty will weather the years and not be found wanting. Good luck, Alys, and may God bless you! Betty MeSherry ANTHONY CUSMANO Do all good things come in small bundles? Weive had oppor- tunity to test this adage in the person of Tony.
