Everyone likes Marion, for she has proved herself a very willing worker, and is ready at all times to lend a helping hand. Perhaps we know her best as the capable editor of the Literary Department of the Senior. Indeed, breathes there one who has not chuckled at the subtle humor that pops” up in her writing and conversation? — WHS — Natale E. Trebisacci Chorus 1, 2. 3, 4. Glee Club 1, 2. Soccer 2, 3, 4 Cantata 2, 3. Nat,” that comical fellow who makrs us laugh in English class, might well rival Touchstone in his clever remarks. He is also a big business man, and can usually be found in Room A or B, delivering a snappy sales talk to the more gullible members of our fairer sex. — WHS — Ben jam in L. Turrisi Soccer 2, 3, 4.

She has, however, one failing—a fanat ical love of playing practical jokes! Fortunately, this does not cost her any of her friends, for this popu lar young lady is always surround ed by a laughing group of girls. — WHS — Katherine V. Sullivan Gym and Gown Com. Senior Play 4 Varieties 4. Cap 4. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Although Katherine is one of the more reserved members of our class, she does not carry this trait upon the stage, as was proved by her rollicking portrayal of Audrey in As You Like It. Her thor oughness and originality both in class and on committees have certainly been appreciated. illivan 0 VQ . — WHS — Parks Roe Tool in Track 4. Senior Play 4. Chi-m istrv Team 3. Parks, that studious Titian-headed boy from Wood River, be tieves in work before play. Even the cold atmosphere at the June tion seems not to affect his warm smile. Parks, by the way, was a worthy member of the Chemistry Team which, for the first time, brought the cup to W. H. S. 'f J. — WHS — John W. Trontales Coming to W. H. S. from Norwich, John has been with us for only one year. During this short time, however, he has been a real asset to W. H. S. and won many friends. His efficiency in the busi ness department is particularly ad mirable. Like him in Aesop, he whipped his horses withal and put his shoulder to the wheel.” — WHS — Annetta R. Van Bramer Chorus 4. Cantata 4. Usher at Varieties 4. Usher at Senior Play 4. “Nctta” entered our class in October, 1933, and considering the short time she has been with us, has proved a most loyal friend. That she is mistress of the art of dancing can be justified by her splendid performance for the Lions Club. )]L 29 fr-

The Senior Year Book — 1934 Athlrtirs ALTHOUGH the majority of the Westerly High School athletic teams suffered a decided decline in success during the past year, they did not lose any ol that traditional fighting spirit characteristic of all Blue and White players. Hie first picture is that of the football team. Despite the fact that it lost nine games and lied one. the team had as much fighting spirit as any other football aggregation in the history of the school. lx d by Captain Addison Archie, the inexperienced team of the early season gained football sense quickly, and by the end of the season was making creditable showings in the games. Last fall's team was the last eleven coached by our very able mentor, D. Harold Rogers. The next picture is that of the cross-country team. Led by its brilliant co-captains, Alex Rizeik and Alex Brown, it enjoyed a fairly successful season. The crowning achievement of last fall’s hiil-and-dalers was the work of none other than the flashy co-captains who, hand in hand, tied for first place in the Eastern Connecticut-Western Rhode Island Conference Championship, and set a new record for the Stonington course. The third picture is that of Captain Gradilonc and his mates who turned in. this past basketball season, the best record ever compiled by a Blue and White team. Their most brilliant success was a 30-27 defeat which they pinned on Norwich Free Academy as the result of an overtime game. Coach Leo Smith began his first season as court coach here this winter. The next plate portrays a very capable track team. Led by Captain Morrill, the team made an excellent showing in the first meet of the season, with the State College Freshmen. The team, undoubtedly the strongest ever to represent the High School, bids fair to make a very good showing in the Rhode Island Interscholastics, which it won last year. 'Flu last picture is that of the Blue and White baseball team. Led by Captain Gcncarclli, the club has broken even thus far this season. The 1934 nine is noticeably stronger than that of last year, and will, wc think and hope, make an excellent showing. —Carle Morrill. FOOTBALL Addison S. Archie, Captain; Robert Goff.
