The Senior Year Book.— 1931 Mary Elizabeth Dunn, “Maine” “Mamie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Country Fair, 1. Gym, 1, 4 Inter class Baseball, 3. Senior Play ( ommittee, 4. Class Prophecy, 4. Junior Dramatic Club, 2. Senior Board, 4. To look into Mary's innocent blue eyes, one would think she was the shyest, most demure girl in the class. But how misleading those mirrors of the soul are, for “Marne is just brimful of fun. Don't tell me you didn't know that she was one of the originators of the W. H. S. Gazette! Suffer herself to be desired. And not blush so to be admired. Elizabeth Edmond, “Lib” “Tubby” ELM STREET SCHOOL Cantata, 1, 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club, 1. Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4. Chorus, 1. 2. 3. 4 Gym, 1, 4. Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3 4. Here is a girl who goes among us (some of us) in a very quiet way. Probably “Lib'' thinks that action speaks louder than words. The class voted her the neatest girl, and she certainly deserves that honor. Fair-haired, azure-eyed, With delicate Saxon complexion. Marjorie Arline Estabrook, “Margie” “Midget” PAWCATUCK VALLEY SCHOOL Commercial Club, 2. Typing Awards, 2. Commercial Club Entertainment, 2. Base ball, 4. Track, 3, 4. Inter class Basketball, 4. Junior Prom Committee, 3. Gym, 4. Director, 1. Chorus, 1, 2, 3. Fools’ Fiesta, 1. After knowing Margie, not one in the clans dare deny the old adage that go »d things come in small packages. Although she is small of stature, she is unrivaled in her manner of wearing pretty clothes. Her cutenrss and lovable personality have gained her many loyal friends, while her Irish wit and laughing eyes have worked havoc with the gallants of the class. “My love in her attire doth show her wit. It doth so well become her. Frances R. Earn ham, “Fran” “Frame, “Frenchie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Dramatic Club, I, 3. Chorus, 1, 2, 3. Interclass Baseball, 1, 2, 3. Interclass Soc cer, 2. Reception Committee, 3. Junior Prom Committee. Travel Club, 2. Class Con stitution Committee, 1. Gym, 1, 2, 3, 4. Sub Freshman Day, 3. Just look at those eyes. Can it be? Yes, it is—for that is the final proof—that witty remark of hers. It is Fran, our class coquette If you ever took “Fran” by-surprise, you would hear her singing California, Here I Come. We shall all miss her and we all hope that a certain pilot appreciates her as much as we do. “Men must be taught As if you taught them not. Clara Alice Fish, “Caddy” ELM STREET SCHOOL Typing Awards, 1, 2, 3. Commercial Club, 2. Gym, 1, 4. Class Sports. 1, 2, 3 P. T. Director, 4. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Although “Caddy is not a true man hater, she prefers to mingle with the fairer sex. How many dull moments she has brightened with her cute little giggle! She that was ever fair and never proud Had tongue at will and yet was never loud. 25 )s—

The Senior Year Book— 1931 MU . - JL-i! . —'-EJ . . Clarence Dana Christy, “Bud” “Kid 9 ELM STREET SCHOOL President Student Council, 4. Senior Play, 4. Ring Committee, 3. President of Class, 2. Junior Prom, 3. Vice President of Class, 4. Reception Committee, 3. Secretary ot Athletic Association, 2. Senior Prom, 4. Baseball. 1, 2, 3, 4. Senior Board, 4 Track, 1, 2. Aviation Club, 1. Football Manager, 4. Cantata, 1, 2, 3, 4. Commercial Club Entertainment, 2. Interclass Soccer, 3. 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 has taken an active part in athletics throughout his high school career and has excelled especially in football. 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. Baseball Manager, 3. Football, 3. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Cantata, 2. All at Sea, 2. Penny Carnival, 2. Dramatic Club, 3. P. T. Instructor, 3. 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. President A. A., 4. Student Council, 4. Junior Prom Committee, 3 Senior Prom Committee. 4. Country Fair, 2. Penny Carnival, 1. Interclass Basketball, 4. Student Dance Committee, 4. Reception Committee, 3. Dramatic Club, 1, 2. Ban quet Committee, 4. Class Gifts, 4 Senior Board, 4. Just to look at Bill” one can understand why he was voted best all round good fellow in the class. 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

The Senior Year Book— 1931 Anna Grace Fraquelli ELM STREET SCHOOL Salutatorian. Secretary of Class, 3. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4 Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4 First Prize Martha C. Babcock Contest, 3. Senior Board, 4. Senior Play Committee, 4. It’s hard to classify Anna—laughing with the merriest of us, excelling us and win ning our admiration in classes, arguing with the most heated of us, always perfectly natural, enjoying life and making everyone else enjoy it—that approximates her as we know her. Anna has a remarkable understanding of people and human nature; and like very few of us, has friends in every group of our class (witness—the crowd sitting on the back desks in Room 10 at noon time). She seems, indeed, to carry sunshine and joy about with her. Her life was interfused with light From realms that though unseen, exist. Albert Fusaro ELM STREET SCHOOL Cross Country, 3, 4. Track, 1, 2, 3, 4. Christmas Program, 1. Chorus, 1, 2. Al is one of the best natured fellows in the class. He’s just brimful of fun and wise crocks and everybody likes to have him around. Al is not a spectacular man, whose pop ularity lasts for only a few hours; but is of the sincere, unaffected type who always keep their friends. We’re expecting you, Al,” to make great strides toward success with that personality aided by those legs. (They’re short, the legs, we mean, but have you ever seen them go?) “He looks the whole world in the face. For he owes not any man.” Mary Gencarelli, “May” “Shortie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Chorus, 1. Honor Roll, 1, 2. Gym, 4 R. I. Chemistry Contest, 4. When Mary was ready to leave heaven, there must have been an oversupply of Con centrated Merriment, for Shortie” has more than her share. The nursery rhyme says that King Cole was a merry old soul. This fits our Mary-well (except for the age) when she comes merrily into class, bringing a ray of sunshine, even on the dullest of days. Mary isn’t always seen but her giggles may be heard at almost any time of the day or night. To see her is to love her. And love but her forever. May Elizabeth Gould, “Gup” ELM STREET SCHOOL Orchestra, 1. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Gub, 2, 3, 4. Honor Roll, 4. Cantata, 1, 2, 3, 4. May has fair hair, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and a good natured smile. She is one of our best musicians, both vocal and instrumental. Her ability in setting words to music was well illustrated in our football song, set to the music of Betty Co ed.” May’s motto is. Laugh and the world laughs with you With thine eyes brimful of laughter. And thy mouth as full of song. William Everitte Greene, “Ev” ELM STREET SCHOOL Football, 2, 3, 4 Track, I. 2. Student Council, 2, 3, 4. Secretary, Vice President, and President of A. A., 1, 2, 3. 4. Ring Committee. Travel Club, 2. Radio Club, 1. Cantata, 1, 2, 3. Glee Club, 1, 2, 3. What ever should we do, teachers included, without Ev’s suddenly dropping off to sleep (just to rest his eyes) in the most interesting part of the class? There is one place, no matter how boring i is, where you will never find Ev” asleep, since he is the fastest man there, and that is on the football field. There is no need to elaborate on Ev’s” brilliant athletic career—sufficient to say that next fall other schools are going to breathe a sigh of relief and begin to smile. Why? Because they won’t have to play against that human, ironclad hurricane any more. One cannot always be a hero. But one can always be a man. —•Sj 26 )$►-
