Resolved: That the Debate Team under Mr. Anghinet- ti shall be a success! JOHN WILLIAM BROSNAHAN General He never worries, seldom hurries. Carefree John is a newcomer to our class. John ' s reserved manner, friendly nature, and pleasant dispo- sition have gained him many friends. Another one of John’s traits is his definite aversion to worry. John has not yet revealed to us his plans for the future, but we are sure his life will be composed of happiness and success. Basketball 10, 11; Baseball 11.

BRENDA JOYCE ABATO General A charming bit of scenery in the landscape of the world.” We ' ll always remember Brenda ' s long, dark, - curly hair and sparkling eyes. The chorus will miss her strong alto, and the cafeteria crowd will wish they had their favorite comedienne back again. We predict that Brenda will progress happily through life with her sense of humor and that twinkle in her eye. Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; Basketball Intramurals 10; Dramatics 11. Senior English with Mr. McGrail. ALFRED RAYMOND BAVOSI General “Al A kind act is never forgotten . Al is the kind of boy who always says Hi! and offers you a ride home on rainy days. He usually sports a cheerful smile, and is always ready to listen to a friend’s problem; this keeps Al busy because he has so many friends. To Al we say, Good luck always, although he will prob- ably never need luck. Senior Play 12. DIANE MARIE BELACKI DOROTHY ANN BERRY SHARON JUDITH BOYNTON Business Being in the right does not depend on having a ! loud voice. Diane is the slim, friendly girl, who spends a lot, of time in the Art Room. She is an unusual combi- nation of avid painter and talented dancer. A few ' of us will always remember her as the Merciful Diane who brought bags of candy to Saturday t morning driving lessons. We hope that Diane will always remember us; we will certainly miss her.

Dottie hit West Boylston High School like a stick of T.N.T. A mixture of energy and skill, she appeared on the stage, the debating floor, and the Honor Roll. And how many of us could ever forget Dot ' s huge parties? W.B.H.S. is losing Dottie and her marvelous personality, but the impact she leaves will always remain.

Sharon is a refreshing non-conformist, who can leave you breathless and bewildered at times. She plays terrific piano with the thunder of a Van Cliburn or the cool swing of an Errol Garner. Sharon ' s future holds an exciting career. We shall always remember her as a girl who really knows how to enjoy life. Dramatics 9, 12; Chorus 9, 11, 12; Audio-Visual Club 9, 11. 15
