Catherine Mays Jean Rowell CATHERINE MAYS—Who’s that creeping into school about 8:27Mi in the morning still looking a bit sleepy? Go ahead, look again; sure enough, that's Katy.” When she appears at this time, she usually has a large stack of books and a load of papers. This makes a good impression, but remember she lives only a short way from school. Katy plays basketball, dramatizes in the senior play, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She also had time to capture third honors this year. Katy plans to enter nursing in September at the New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston. May all your patients live, Catherine! JEAN ROWELL—She comes to school breathless. Her tongue hangs out when Lucille enters. Then either a look of triumph supreme as she says, “A ou didn’t get any, and I got two!”—Or a crest-fallen look and silence. Whom are we telling tales about? Why, it’s Jean, of course. You see Jean's been doing a lot of corresponding lately with some sailor or someone. But after the letters are all written she still has time to play basketball, be in plays, and least of all take top honors this year. She plans to be a Physical Ed. instructor and is going to train at Russell Sage College in Troy, New York. We all wish you luck, Jean. 21

ELEANOR GUAY—Eleanor doesn’t play basketball, but for what she doesn’t do on the floor she more than makes up for by such things as helping in the office, yelling at basketball games (funny thing, too, she seems always to be accompanied by a fellow with blond curly hair!) or taking great dramatic roles in plays (!) Eleanor plans to work in an office for a while, and with your quiet, reserved manner we know you'll do well, Eleanor. SHIRLEY HILL—Who’s that little forward running up to center line and shrieking “Jeanie! Jeanie!” and clapping her hands? You’ve guessed it; it’s Shirley. She is another one of our good basketball players we lose this year. Shirley also lends a hand to Mr. French as one of his private secretaries, besides being the one to hold fourth honors this year. They tell me she has so many men she has to keep them in alphabe- tical order, but don’t let her kid you, she’s just trying to make the other girls jealous. Shirley thinks she too wants to become a nurse, and we know she will put the same old fight into that work as she put into the work here at Wells River. Good luck, Shirley. v20

ROBERT GARVIN—Bob is the high school tall man, best soloist (especialy during the noon hour in home room while standing on the radiator), and stands second in his class this year. As you might expect, he plays center on our basketball team; in fact he was high man in points this year. Bob seems to have an interest near the post office (not male!) for his car has been reported seen there rather late at night. What about that, Bob? This fall he plans to enter Westminster College, and we know he'll give little old Wells River a good showing. LE()N WIX CM ESTER—I ..eon is a quiet person. He is a very good businessman though he never hurries anything; but let me tell you when Leon does a job, it is done right. Leon is one of the members of the physics class and he performs experiments; but unlike a fellow classmate, he does not man- age to make quite as much mess; in fact, he is quite a scien- tist. If you hear anyone playing the piano about four o’clock, it will be Leon practicing; he is a very good player, and he thinks he'll keep it up at some music school next year. Good luck, Leon, and be sure to strike the right key! Senior write-ups by 22 Bill Rowden ’48
