The study class is very quiet when suddenly, out of the silence, we hear a mirthful little entitle, and there in the coiner sits Mary Bray, enjoying a laugh all by herself. Yes! .Mary actually breathes in happiness and carries with her an atmosphere of joy and glad ness wherever she chances to go. “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. Mary Regina Brophy, “Marie” PAWCATUCK VALLEY SCH(X)L Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Interclass Baseball, 1. Typing awards. Gym, 4. Some Marys, we have heard, are quite contrary, but not so ours. On the other hand, she is a happy go lucky gir| who seems to fit in anywhere. She comes to school every-morning on the H.cksville Express Thus, if you ever happen to be on it, and hear a n.erry giggle from the other end of the car. you will very likely find Man in conference with one of her cronies. Marie’s bright remarks and ready laugh make her welcome wherever she goes and we are certainly glad she is a member of our class. Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me.” Robert E.

Gym, 4. Bob is our neatest and most polite boy That sounds as though he’s rather stiff, doesn t it. But were sure you’ll agree that he certainly isn’t (except in a tux”). On the night of Prize Speaking, his Boots” made shivers go up and down our spines, and we could just see those never ending boots marching on and on through African mud. He surely deserved his prize. As we remark his skill in taking Kings and Castles” in his favorite game. Chess, we leel confident that he will win equal success in the game of life. For some are born to do great deeds and live. While some are born to be obscured and die. Earl Johnston Carpenter, “Shorty” ELM STREET SCHOOL Baseball 4 Radio Club, 2, 3 Assistant Stage Carpenter Senior Play, 4 Inter class Baseball, 2, 3.

Even the teachers can t resist his witty remarks. He shines particularly in the biology classes, where his clever arguments give amusement to all that hear them. May your wit never dull nor your arguments cease, Shorty.” But we re mad. both the good and the bad.

Gym, 2, 4. Scout Club, 4. Senior Play, 4. Is it that two-mile walk which you take every morning and afternoon, “Binnsie. which makes you so cheery and go d natured? We have often wondered what it was. If White Rock has any more such as George, we hope they will attend W. H. S. to keep the atmos phere as pleasant as he has made it. We feel sure that George will achieve great things in life, and make Westerly High proud to claim him as an alumnus. We grant, although he had much wit He was very shy of using it.

Besides being a fatal attraction to th»- weaker sex, Bud” has proved to be no mean adversary on the baseball field, and it is not surprising that we have won so many football games this year with Bud” as our manager. The dull routine of the classroom is lessened by his bright and scintillating remarks. His personality has gained for him a host of friends. From my ruthless throne I have ruled alone For a million years and a day.” Thomas Marrack Callings, “Mac” ELM STREET SCHOOL Baseball, 1. Football, 1, 2, 3, 4. Track, 1, 2, 3, 4. Inter class Baseball, 2, 3. Radio Club, 1. Aviation Club, 1. Senior Play, 4. Marrack has been voted the most romantic and most sentimental boy in the class. We wonder why (?).

He loved the twilight that surrounds The border land of old romance.” Harvey Hinton Conklin LAN DON HIGH, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Associate Editor of Landon Lantern,” 3. Dramatic Club Officer, 3. Junior Boys’ Club Officer, 3. Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4. VV. H. S. Senior Play, 4. Here's a case where appearances don’t deceive, for Harvey’s just as scholarly as he looks. Can you imagine anyone’s finding all A's on his report ? Harvey did. No wonder we have nominated him our class genius. “In contemplation passing all his days. And change of holy thoughts to make him merry. Francis Miles Coulhourn, “Smiles” ELM STREET SCHOOL Track, 1. Student Council, 2. President Aviation Club, 2. Assistant Baseball Man ager, 2.

Miles is a Southern boy, and therefore has found it hard to acquire great interest in our Northern Sports.” But when it comes to swimming he puts the local boys to shame. In fact he has won many cups and trophies in this, his favorite sport. But where do they all go to? Ask a certain young lady; enough said. The world wants men, true men. Who can not be bought or sold.” William David Dolan, “Bill” “Spike” “Rabbit” ELM STREET SCHOOL Football, 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain, 3. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4. Track, 2, 4. Stage Manager Senior Play, 4.

Bill’s” smile and pleasant way have made him, also, the most popular boy in our class. He is an excellent athlete, no class activity being complete without him •Bill is, moreover, an outstanding figure in the school's social events. He is a very busy person—dashing about, but he can always find time for his ”Dot”ting. He is a man of honor, of noble and generous nature; And though he is rough, he is kindly.” 24
