P O R DIA N ELEANOR A. COURSON “El” Girl Reserves 2; Vice President Girl Reserves 4; Library Club 4; Fordian Hoard 4. Eleanor is one of our quiet Seniors. She is very careful of her appearance and always looks lovely. She is also a great sport with a real sense of humor. Miss Walsh still wonders whether or not she likes German. ¥ 1 ¥ n ¥ fi. I RITA E. CREMISIO “Patty” Girl Reserves 2; Library Club 4; Fea- ture Hoard Fordian 4. Rita is one of those deceivingly quiet persons. One minute you’re not aware of her shy pres- ence. and next minute she’s the center of a lively laughing group. She has been affectionately dubbed ‘‘Toots’’ and is a temptation to add “O.K. Toots” because when she is asked to do a favor or a piece of work, the answer is invariably in the affirmative. ANNA MAE DALTON “Ann” Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Library Club 2; Treasurer 3, 4; Business Board Fordian. Ann is the ‘‘Keeper of the Keys” to the treas- ury and a good keeper she has been for two years. Intelligence, gentleness, and capability charac- terize Ann. If you’ve ever heard her translate German as though the passage were in English, you’d believe she was destined for a place in the Diplomatic Service. JACK W. DOUTTIEL 'Duke' Show Card Club 4; Soccer 2, 3, 4; President Junior Student Council 1 ; Dra- matics Club 3; Prom Committee 3: Var- sity Club 3; Foriuan Board 4: Traffic Committee 2. Jack is a happy-go-lucky sort of boy, whose good looks make him an important element in the eyes of many Senior girls. His artistic talents have made his high school career colorful. Eighteen

 FORDI AN 1 X X X X I X JAMES R. BROWN Zckc Orchestra 1. 2, 3. 4: Stamp Club 2. Those who understand 'Zeke” recognize his ability for profound thinking. lie reads deep books, hut he also enjoys a good detective story along with the rest of us. He will be remem- bered for his leadership of the Hill-Billies”, who have afforded us many minutes of musical en- joyment.

Carp is our class wit. and well he is named. He is a good-natured boy and easy-going, as well as a gentleman and a scholar. His serious mien belies his fun-loving heart. 'Jane X X X X X X Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Ping Pong Club 3; Girl Reserves 3; President Girl Re- serves 4; Secretary-Treasurer Library Club 4; Show Card Club 4. Jeanne always accomplishes what she sets out to do, Ik it class or club activity, studies, or that famous knitting. Rapid changes from scowling severity to merry laughter make her an interest- ing companion. MARJORIE J. CONNOR Margie” Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4; Girl Reserves 2. 3. 4; Secretary Girl Reserves 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Dancing Club 4; Prom Com- mittee 3; Dance Committee 4. We can’t decide which of Margie’s moods we like best—that blushing, giggling one: the raised eyebrow, faintly quizzical one: or the serious, secretarvish cne. But we are sure that we love her in pearl earrings and a perfect, blonde wave. Maybe she will set us at ease by combining all of the above for future use. Seventeen

F O R DIA N 3 3® : JOHN M. DROMIRECKI Barrel'’ John has always supported the class loyally in all its endeavors. His cheery smile and twink- ling eyes greet us at all times. He is familiarly known as “Barrel” due to his short, rotund fig- ure which even the C.C.C. could not affect. MARY JEAN DUDEK “Speed,” Forman Staff 4; Girl Reserves 4; So- cial Club 4. We always knew Mary had a charming smile, hut when the proofs of her pictures came, we thought we had a movie star in our class. We have heard rumors that several young men from Mechanicville hold the same opinion. Wc hope you enjoy your life ahead, Mary, as much as you seem to enjoy the nonsense in the Senior MARGARET ELIZABETH DUNPHY “Mary” Girls’ Basketball 1. 2, 3. 4; Ping Pong Club 3; Dramatic Club 2; Business Board Fordian 4. “A peaches-and-cream” complexion, flashing dark eyes, an infectious “giggle” make up the Mar- garet we know. If busy executives are still look- ing for attractive secretaries, Marg will be the answer to their prayers in June. We’re not envious, but we would like to know how it feels. Marg. to have an adoring swain on each arm everv time we walked to school. FREDERICK G. FEWKES “Freddie” Stamp Club 2; Dramatic Club 1. Fred is one of those quiet men who doesn’t open his mouth without having something to say. His one pet hobby is reading out loud in class, which always vexes his teachers. However, Fred’s easy-going ways which help him through many trials will probably continue to do so throughout the future. Nineteen
