The Senior Year Book — 1937 Edris Barnes Chorus 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Varieties 3, 4. Behold our class flirt! This cute little miss never seems to be at a loss for words, a quality which makes her a popular member in our midst. Besides being a facile con versationalist, Kdris proved her abil ity to act in the variety show, where she portrayed the sweet, innocent heroine so perfectly. — WHS — Ruth Blackler Churns 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 2, 3. 4 Varieties 3, 4. Senior Play 4. Senior Prom Committee 3. Band 2, 3. Prize Speaking 4. Although babies arc not utten particularly musical, our class baby showed her ability as a singer in the Varieties of '36.” Also Ber tinettc electrified us with her ma tery of the Cockney dialect. Never can she convince us that she has net been in London. — WHS — William Bonner Soccer 2. 3. Track 2. If one were to guess Bill Bonner’s nationality by his appearance and personality, he would be firmly con vinced that Bill was typically English, with his blonde hair, fair col oring, strong, slim build, and his congenial but reserved manner. This would be enough to assure most ordinary people, but to the doubtful we might add that Bill is an en thusiast for soccer, a characteristic of all true Englishmen. — WHS — Katherine Briody Junior Usher 3. Varieties 4. Sen ior Play 4. Senior Prom 4. Student Council 4. Black curly hair plus sparkling blue eyes make Kay a typical Irish Colleen. Although she has many outside activities, she never lets them interfere with her school work. She is, moreover, an active member of the Student Council. Her entertaining conversation and ever ready wit have gained for her a wide circle of friends. — WHS — Betty Brown Badminton 2, 3, 4. Usher at Sen ior Play 4. Chorus 2, 3. 4. It may be Betty's serene outlook on life which is responsible for her perfect poise, and if her mind is always as quiet and unruffled as her appearance, our envy is justi tied. Josephine Bevacqua Soccer 2. Tennis 2. Chorus 2, 3. 4. Jo’s ability as a dressmaker is evidenced by the pleasing appear ance she always makes wherever one meets her. This neat appearance, together with a sunny disposition, makes her one of our most well liked class mates. — WHS — Margaret Blanda Soccer 2. Chorus 2, 3, 4. Usher for Glee Club Concert 4. The quotation Now you see her, and now you don't, well describes our 'Margie,” who never stays in one place very long. She is quick to grasp a situation and never hesitates to help a friend in need. — WHS — AI bert Bourne not Cross Country 2, 3. Chorus 2, 3, 4. General Manager Senior Play 4 Publicity Manager Concert 4. Invitation Committee 4. Ushe. for Glee Club Concert 4. Al, our future star salesman, will certainly succeed, if his work in business management is any example of his ability. His love of debating will certainly help him in his rhosen profession. — WHS — Herbert Broad meadow Football 2, 3, 4. Class Secretary 4. Chorus 2. Senior Play 4. Herb, one of our most popular students, is well known for his swinging, sailor like gait and his broad, manly chest. Besides his ability at football, Herb is quite an actor as was shown by his part in the Senior Play. — WHS —- Marjorie Brown Chorus 4 Senior Play Usher 4. Varieties Usher 4. Marjorie, a charmingly quiet little girl from Ashaway, is particularly attractive when she greets a friend with that pleasant smile of hers. We feel that she might well apply for the position of Mary Astor’s double. - «•${ 26 -

What j dull place Room 9 would be without his witty remarks to brighten home room periods. —. WHS — James Banker Orchestra 1, 2, 3. While Jimmy is very skillful at sliding a trombone, he never at tempts to slide by in his studies. His inquiring nature has gained for him knowledge that otherwise would have remained unknown. He never rests until his task is done. 4 25 )■ - James Altimano Football 3.

Cap and Gown Committee 4. Surely no true Englishman could have mastered the Cockney dialect more perfectly than did Louise in the Senior Play.
