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 )$►-

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—

Commercial Club Pres, dent, 2. Class Ring Committee, 2. Bow to our valedictorian' Not only is Florence the smartest of our group, but also one of the youngest. Fluff ’ was voted the best stenographer in the class and any man who employs her will be unusually fortunate. •Fluff is also a very eo »d dancer. Not everyone ran be a student by day, but a stepper by night. Her red-brown hair, her tender, blue eyes seemed Like something to be dreamed. Constance Andrews Hamilton, “Connie,” “Hammie” CAROLINA GRAMMAR SCHOOL Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Gym, 4. When Connie” jumps on her burking broncho, you should see her canter down the lane, for Hammie is one of our country cousins who comes to school on the Yankee ( lipper. The athlete and the poet make an unusual combination, but as was the case with Robert Browning, hoth are represented in Connie. We very much appreciate her con tributions to the Senior and hope that she may succeed in whatever she chooses as her work. Give me a theme, the little poet cried. And I will do my part. Nelson Woodard Himes, “Nets,” “Ned” ELM STREET SCHOOL Track 2. 3. 4 Chorus. I. 2. 3. Honor Roll, 1. 2. P. T. Director. 4. Gym. 4 Aviation Club, 1. Gym Club, 2. Interclass Crosscountry, 3. Interclass F'oothall, 4 ... M ’ sh»«£ow. or is it vice versa? Anyway, Nels is another of our track men. First into class, first out of class, and first in the hearts of his classmates. Himes keeps in trim by leaping into classrooms—settling for a second, and then just as quickly leap mg out again followed by the warning, I told you to leave that Magni alone, now explain your behavior to Mr. Mason. Nelson is even taking up chess—can you beat it? He makes the heaven his book. His wisdom heavenly things. John Roberts Hinchliffe, “Johnnie,” “Hinchie” CAROLINA GRAMMAR SCHOOL Basketball, 4.

Vice President of Aviation Club, 1. John is a good sport and lots of fun to those who know him. He has been rather busy these last four years, but never too pre »ccupied to spend some time with George or James who seem to attract him, in their different ways. He is very much interested in the Junior High and wishes it had been built four years ago so that he could have played basketball there. Hinchie is a most enthusiastic member of his team and rn joys his game thoroughly. If anyone wronged him or treated him ill. Why. John was good-natured and sociable still. Rose Elizabeth Hoadleij ELM STREET SCHOOL Gym, 1, 3, 4. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Cantata, 4. Rose is one of our constants at gvm. In fact, she is among those who have kept up the good reputation of the Senior girls for playing brilliant baseball You who kn w only the Rose of the class room should just see her at the field hitting three baggers! I’ll see the brightness of thine eye In the blue evening's dewy star. - 27 )►-
