19 3 9 ARTHUR GEORGE McGINNIS “Duke” “In a football suit this follow's quito a flash. Some day tho headlines we’re sure he will crash.” General Course Duke is known in Washington High School for his athletic ability. Football and wrestling being his mainstays. His lazy amble is highly deceptive because he’s quite a man when he gets rolling. If he attains his goal “Duke” will probab’y be shortened to Doc”. Football I. II. III. IV; ”W” II. ILI.

For wherever ‘Dick’ is there always is fun.” “Dick” is a newcomer to our class this year from Somerville and he was immediately liked by everyone. He can usually be seen at the Soda Club, dancing both after school and in the evening. “Dick likes to have his friends call him Doc”, but no one knows why, because “Dick is planning to be a mortician.

KATHALEEN HAZE O’CONNOR “Kitty” “Kate is winsome, tall, and blonde, it seems This is the answer to any man’s dreams.” College Preparatory Course Kate’s charming personality has made her many friends, the closest being Mim . Kate is going to Duke to study law. but she doesn’t look like a lawyer. We’re sure she'll succeed, because of her power to stick to her point in an argument. Glee Club II.

CACHE ALETHEA VIVIAN MAGINNIS “Lete” Alethea has blue eyes and brown hair. A winning smile and never a care.” Commercial Course Maginnis has been very active in the field of sports, having been cheerleader in her senior year. She also filled the position of forward on the basketball team in an outstanding manner. Any noon hour she may be found either playing basketball or dancing, and displaying that cheerful grin. After graduating “Lete” would like to secure a position in an office. This is a worthy ambition in which we wish her success. Outdoor Club I. II. III. IV; Ushers Club I: Field Day I. II.

FRANK MANGIACOTTI “F” “Frank isn’t a homework fan. But in sports, he’s always on hand.” General Course Frank’s main interests in school have been in the field of sports. He is one of the football heroes of our class, and had the honor of being captain in his senior year. “F” is always a pal when needed. Many a friend has he won by his good naturedness. and willingness to do another person a good turn. Football I. II. IV; Captain J. V. Busketball I. II : Varsity Club I. II. III.

General Course One hardly ever sees Peg” without a smile on her face. She is usually always laughing about something, but that does not stop her from making good grades in Chemistry- “Peg’s” only ambition, it seems, is to be a housewife and we’re sure she’ll make a good one.

CACHE JOSEPH EDWARD OPDYKE “Joe” “ ‘JoeV face quite often turns red ns a beet. But he’s only blushing, it isn’t the heat.” General Course “Joe” is a valued classmate. He has also been on the football team, and was very loyal, going out for it four years. He is taking the agricultural subjects and gets along splendidly in that kind of work. He takes all of his studies and work seriously, ami if ho continues doing this after he graduates, we are sure he will make a good F. F. A. Football r. II. III. IV: Boys’ Night I. II.

Reason being, the ’Star’ must go through.” General Course Ken is the speed king of the class. Football, basketball, and track are the sports which furnished him the means to display this speed. He claims his future is undecided but we think somewhere in his mind there’s a U. S. battleship afloat. Can it be the sea and a girl in every port? Football I. II. III. IV; Basketball I.

The couples come trucking, from near and far.” Commercial Course John is rather bashful and retiring, but when he’s with a group of boys he is lots of fun. We’re sure if he would give the girls a break he wouldn’t have a minute's ]»eace. We have heard John plays a guitar, and we feel sure he could go far in that, line of music. As his preference seems to lie in the Commercial field, however, we hope he will be able to find some form of Commercial work. Orchestra III : Boys’ Night I. II. III.

As a ladies man. he’s always about. College Preparatory Course Floyd has real talents when it comes to jazz music. He is known for his wisecracks and slams. Floyd’s histrionic talents were displayed when he took the part of the clever detective from Scotland Yard in the Junior Play, The Ghost Train”. Floyd has already obtained a grown-up air, so we know he will succeed in getting a good orchestra position. Boys’ Night I. II. Ill; Orchestra III, IV; Arista I. II; Glee Club I. II. III.
