FORDIAN ;3e:; ;3®; ;3er; o EARL NORMANDIN, JR. “Ike” Wathidram 2; Basketball 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Track 3, 4; Baseball 4. Ike is one of those rare silent men. His easy- going manner and ready smile characterize him. This slow manner changes into lightning-like motion on the cinder path and basketball court. EDWARD O CONNOR “Ed” Vice-President 1; Photography Club 2, 3; Varsity Club 3, 4; Fordian Photo- graphic Board; Manager and Captain Bowling Team 3. 4; Prom Committee 3: Dance Committee 3. 4: Dancing Club 4; Poster Club 4; Candy Salesman 3, 4. When Friday afternoon rolls around, Ed is among the missing, but at all other times he has been an outstanding figure in our homeroom. His candy-selling, bowling, snappy clothes, cheery manner, and that old black leather case have endeared him to all his classmates. r f X i K I x i WILLIAM F. O’MEARA “L’il Giant” Student Council 1, 2. 3: Class Presi- dent 4; Fordian Business Manager 4: Prom Committee 3 ; Chairman King Com- mittee 3: Assistant Manager Cross Coun- try and Track 3; Manager Cross Country and Track 4; Radio Dramatics 4; Chief Monitor 2; Wathidram Club 2; Ama- teur Night Committee 4: Social Club 4; Varsity Club 3. 4; School Traffic Com- mittee 2. What a hullabaloo issues from the Senior room. What in the world is going on in there? Oh. we know! The “Li’l Giant” is trying to conduct a class meeting again. He has just asked them to vote on the “Whatchamacallit . But really Bill is a great fellow and there is nothing he wouldn't do for the Seniors and Waterford High. ALBERT C. PARKER “L’il Albie” Student Council 1. 2: Prom Committee 3: Vice-President 3: Wathidram Club 1. 2; Amateur Night Committee 4: Social Club 3: Literary Board 4; Cross Country 3; President Class 1 : Glee Club 1 ; Class Day Committee 4; Monitor 3: Varsity Club 3 ; Traffic Committee 2. “Albie” is one of the “intelligentsia of the class. His merry laugh and quick wit make classes with him more enjoyable for everyone. He is the last of a long line of Parkers to leave the school richer for their presence. G'3di

Norma is a quiet, good-natured girl, whose personality reveals itself in her smile. Her ability in studies, especially Latin and French, assure her of success in the future. GEORGE P. MORGAN “Terry , Boo-Boo” Model Airplane Club 1. 2; Stamp Club 3; Pinochle Club 4; Advertising Board Forman 4; Amateur Night Committee 4; Class Day Committee 4. Tall, lanky, frank and honest of speech. That is “Terry”. How like “Honest Abe” he seems as he sticks to his point in all the arguments he enters (which are many). How he astounds us with his inexhaustible knowledge of history. We hope you won’t always be up-in-the-air” about aviation. George. ROSEMARY E. MURPHY “Pat Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Treasurer Class 2; Prom Committee 3; Literary Board Ford- ian 4; Class Day Committee 4: Vice President Class Saint Francis de Salles, Utica, 3: Orchestra. Saint Francis dc Salles, Utica, 3. “Shure, when Irish eyes are smilin’, they steal your heart away.” And “shure” they do, if they happen to lx Rosemary’s. She is a real pal and a very talented ladv, too, with her charming voice and love for the piano. MARY E. NERTNEY “Nert” Mary is a very individual girl. With her dark hair, complexion and eyes, she makes a very lovely picture. Although we seldom hear from her in class meetings, Mary has supported the Seniors in every undertaking. We are glad she returned from Ballston to grace our halls with her sleek sophistication. Twenty-four

Her placid manner and gentle speech make her a restful companion and her co-operation in all class activities has made her a valuable Senior. A. MYRTLE ROLSTON Topsy Civics Club 1; Wathidram 2; Library Club Reporter 3; Prom Committee 3; Forman Advertising Board 4; Girl Re- serves 4; Pinochle Club 4; Basketball 4. Myrtle is one of the best workers in the Senior Class. She has a genial personality which is re- flected in all her activities. Her willingness to co-operate will surely be a determining factor in her future endeavors. JOSEPH E. SCHOFIELD Szvcdc Class President 1 ; Latin Club 1 ; Prom Committee 3; Dance Committee 4; Ford- ian Athletic Board 4; Monitor 2, 3; Dancing Club 4; Wathidram Club 1 ; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain Basketball 4; Track 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Baseball 3, 4. Joey, with his prankish gestures and inane gig- gle, is as much a part of the Senior room as the fixtures. Despite Joe’s readiness for fun he is very serious about his athletic endeavors. We would not be surprised to see his name on an Olympic roster in a few years. JOSEPH SICKO Cho-Sce-Ko” Cross-country 3, 4; Track 4; Baseball 3, 4. Joe has the rare and enviable quality of being able to stand many jokes at his expense. He has been present at all Senior functions, usually with his “Lady Fair”. We understand Joe argues in some classes but this characteristic has never been apparent in his quiet home room manner. T went y-six
