Her choice as most all around gives proof of a perfectly balanced char acter. — WHS — Patsy Capalbo Pat believes that a comfortable position is necessary if he is to do good work. In Algebra his hands are usually holding up his face, while his eyes stare constantly at the blackboard. Let’s hope that these are the first steps toward becoming a great thinker. — WHS — Isa Card Chorus 3. Soccer 4. Hockey 4. Basketball 4. Badminton 4. Whether you're short or whether you’re tall.

Stud is one of the most popular boy in the class and was voted the best dancer. These arc not his only achievements, however, for he is also a star member of the football and baseball teams.

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.

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.

Marjorie, a charmingly quiet little girl from Ashaway, is particularly attractive when she greets a friend with that pleasant smile of hers.
