Joe Goon, Slurpy, Billie and a speeding Model A Ford coupe with an oversize horn identify a carefree youth, notorious for his aversion to the law.

. . W., QM ies! LEO BONORDEN Track 121, Tennis 13, 41. Leo thinks that the best thing about playing tennis with a girl is the girl, but on the tennis team he offers real opposition. Making model airplanes and designing automobiles are, among the hobbies of our tall silent mathe- matician. Leo's quietness shrieks aloud in the setting provided by thc boys of 1938. IOSEPHINE BRAXTON Oliice 13, 41. Always full of fun and pep is jo, whose favorite diversion is dancing to the hottest swing music available. ,Her plurnpness, due to a hearty appe- tite, adds to her jolliness which is very apparent.

Never too busy to talk--that's Jane! Miss Bible's choice for champion of chatterboxes, Jane usually announces her arrival with her infectious giggle. A whiz at chemistry and biology as well as hockey and basketball, piquant little Jane excels in all save balancing. CLARENCE BRIANT Academic Committee 131. If ever there was a teacher's head- ache, this senior may be termed as such. Miss Pelton has acquired a defi- nite gray in her hair since Clarence has entered her classes. All in all we think Clarence can be well termed a happy-go-lucky, likeable fellow. 2 MARY BOXILL Latin Club 12, 31g French Club 1413 Weather Vane 12, 3, 415 Hi's Eye 12, 31g Senior Play Committee 1415 Activity Tickets 131. Mary is in her glory when she is in her sailboat, Redwing, at the shore. However, since she can't sail in the winter, she spends this time reading the most intellectual books, writing rip-roaring adventure stories, and listening to opera. Mary Berenda rivals Mr. Rope in penmanship.

' Edie claims an altitude of four feet, eleven and one-half inches, but every- one thinks the half superfluous. Lehigh and Suffield receive the brnefits of her charm, although she is footloose and fancy free. Edie tackles tasks wi h a smile and plenty of umph. LEROY CLARK Archaeological Society 12, 3, 43g German Evening 12, 3, 43. If you see a lad wandering through the desolate jungles of Picton as if hc's lost a prize possession, it's Roy, the arch-disturber of the Indian's rest, searching for relics. He enjoys drawing on his experience in New Mexico for material for translation into German. MARIURIE CLULEY Ring Committee 123, Latin Club 1235 Mask and Mime 13, 435 French Club 13, 43, Spanish Club 12, 3, 433 Senior Play Committee 13, 43. Margie has a smile that could melt your heart at one glance. Where Cleo goes, Margie also goes, for she is the star passenger. A gorgeous complexion and wavy brown hair are great endowments to say nothing of her famous laugh. You should see her ride! FRANCES CONOVER Academic Committee 1235 Forum 1235 Library Council 1235 Glee Club 13, 433 Gym Program 1435 Music Festival 13, 43. Blonde, slim, and carefree, Fran has a natural blush that is most captivating. As sunny of disposition as of hair Fran possesses a friendliness which endears her to everyone. Fran doesn't spend much time on homework, but it takes time to keep up an extensive correspondence and to learn to cakewalk.

If you happen to see a young girl in a very odd position, don't get excited! It is only Charlotte trying to get an especially striking picture. A good arguer with a last word complex, she makes a very lively companion. Her theme song should be Better Late Than Never. MARTIN CREE Easter Play 143, Senior Play 143, Mask and Mime 143. That tall, dark, curly-haired senior wandering lazily through the halls is Bud, the boy who does Lu's shorthand. Although Westield High is new to Martin, he has gained an enviable reputation. We shall always remember his excellent performances in Growing Pains and the Senior Play. twenty-one l
