The Senior Year Book — 1941 Bor say, William J. Student Council, Concert, Business Manager Senior Play. Bill” is the tall outdoorsman from Shelter Harbor, and what he knows about horses would fill a book. As an active member of the Student Council, he has proffered many worth while suggestions. He has also served Miss Aim well in the commercial department. — WHS — Bressette, Walter E. Football, Baseball, Intramurals, Co-Captain Basketball, R. I. Honor Society. Walt” plays football, bas ketball, and baseball with equal abil ity, while at the same time he makes the honor roll. Breezy” is never at a loss for words, and his witty remarks come at unexpected moments. He is also one of the bet ter young golfers of our town, having won prizes and cups here and elsewhere. — WHS — Briggs, Leverett Senior Board. Our flaming haired lad from Ashaway whose pranks (practical and otherwise) are well known to all in school! Without much persuasion, he’ll apply himself to his studies, and when he does, he gets results. At the present time, Red” is a flaming isolationist. — WHS — Briyhtman, Charles Charlie is a mechanically inclined boy and if he doesn't take up some work along this line, he will probably continue in the field he knows best—turkey farming. His prefer ence in sports runs to swimming. — WHS — Burdick, Edward N. Track Team, Senior Board, Concert, Intramurals, R. I. Honor Society, Senior Play. Ed” has the unusual distinction of being both class pessimist and our most polite boy. He is equally well known for his feats on the track team, and for his proficiency in the art of argument. About five years from now this lad will be looking for a job as experi mental chemical engineer for some big concern. Bliven, Minnie S. English Folk Dancers, Leaders’ Club. Blimp” has proven her ability not only as a good cook, but also as an efficient business manager while at tending to her duties in the cafeteria noontimes. Her home econom ic training has been to the advantage of all who purchase lunches in school. Brown, Phyllis Tucker Chemistry Team, Leaders' Club, Sen ior Board, Student Council, Honor Society, Class Prophet. Every task or school subject which Phil” has undertaken has been completely mas tered. As proof of this, she won top honors for girls in the state rhem istry contest. Her outstanding scho lastic ability is also demonst rated by the fact that she has been on the honor roll since her entrance at W. H. S. — WHS — Cayer, Lurnina Leaders’ Club. Kit” is the little girl who is good at everything. She is the shining light of our French class but would rather spend her time baking cakes than studying verbs. She hopes some day to be a dental hygienist. — WHS — Clapham, Hannah M. Class Secretary (2, 3, 4), Senior Board, Leaders' Club, R. I. Honor Society. Hannah is that quiet blonde who is one half of Mary Hannah, Inc. After you know her, you realize what a real companion is, and what a splendid nurse she is going to be. WHS — Coy, Helen E, English Folk Dancers, Leaders' Club, Senior Board, Student Council, His torian, Intramurals, D. A. R. Award, R. I. Honor Society. Helen is an extraordinarily fine girl, being out standing both in scholarship and in athletics. At graduation, Westerly High School's loss will be Smith College’s gain. Her title girl who has done most for the class is well earned, for she has aided the class not only on the playground but through doing more than her part in social functions. «6( 18 )§► -
