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

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

F O R DIA N ADDIE E. GODFREY “Ad” Glee Club 2; Basketball 2; Baseball 2; Class Play Club 1, 2; Show Card Club 4; Feature Board Fordian 4. Although Addie has been with us for only a year, she has truly become one of us. Her bash- fulness, most apparent in the presence of the op- posite sex, has not prevented her from entering joyfully and whole-heartedly in all our work and fun. RICHARD D. HAGAR “Rooster” ARTHUR E. HEMSTEAD Leader Tumbling Club 4; Newspaper Club 3; Cross Country 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Captain Cross Country 4; Captain Track 4; Dancing Club 4; Art Club 4; Monitor 4; Dance Committee 4; Cheer Leader 4; Athletic Board Fordian 4; Class Day Committee 4. Dick is one of our best liked students and therefore one of the most popular. His blonde hair and frank nature are typical of one who hails from “V’mont state”. He is a good listener and an interesting talker and knows when to apply both qualities. On the whole. Dick is an asset to any class (especially when he runs for it). 'Art” Secretary-Treasurer Class 1 ; Model Airplane Club 2; Prom Committee 3; Amateur Night Committee 4; Pinochle Club 4; Advertising Board Fordian 4; Class Day Committee 4. Listen, fellows. Art is making a speech. What a torrent of million dollar words. Really, you would have to be of the “super intelligentsia” to understand them. But all fooling aside, we envy his great gift of oratory. Art is also a great sport and very energetic when work time comes around. ANNA JAROSZ Feature Board Fordian 4; Dancing Club 1 ; Craft Club 2; Social Club 4; Girl Reserves. Have you ever caught that quiet twinkle in Anna’s beautiful dark eyes? She has been a quiet member of a generally riotous class, but her en- joyment of every activity has been very keen. Twenty
