FRANCIS ACHARD Collectors' Club (2); French Club (2); Radio Club (3); Mask and Mime (4); Senior Play (4): Golf Manager (2). Hermes” can build airplanes, print pictures, make radios, wax floors, in fact, do practically everything but get his driver’s license. Did you sec him with his harem of four dates at the DeMolay installation dance last year? That was Francis under the whiskers in the Senior Play. jOSEPH ALLEN. |R. Fntered Senior Year. It’s rather difficult to enter a strange school in one’s senior year according to this handsome humorous fellow from South Jersey. I c, who thought school in South Jersey a picnic, finds school in W estfield a peril. An athletic boy who likes all kinds of sport, he showed some interest in basketball at the beginning of the season. Joe likes girls, especially those from West Orange. PECCY ADDICKS Latin Club 12, Treas. 3, Vice-Pro. 4): French Club (3); Forum (5. 4); G.A.C. (5. Chairman 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Girls’Sports (2, 3. 4). Although Peg” is active in many school activities, sports especially, she is always counting the days until vacation. Seldom in town on week-ends, since her heart is divided between Scarsdale and Hotchkiss, during the week she is often seen driving one of the family Packard:.. MARILYN AMBROSE Hockey (2, 5, 4); Red Cross (2. 3, 4); Latin Club (4;; French Club (2, 3, 4); Mask and Mime (2, 3. 4); Christmas Pageant (2, 3, 4); Forum (4); Annual (4). Beauty, brains, and style plus a certain sophistication characterize M.A. This tall brunette has certainly made an impression on the sophomores. Able play direction and afternoons at ”plas-to” gain Marilyn's whole-hearted interest. Still worrying about your reputation, M. A.? DORIS ALBRICHT Mask and Mime (2); Trench Club (2, 3, 4); Volley Bell (3); Badminton (3); Spanish Club (4): Academic Committee (4): Basketball (4); Hockey (4). Doris’s baked beans arc the envy of everyone who tastes them and have already made her famous. Her constant cheerfulness and willingness to co-operate have made her a welcome friend to all. This blonde badminton player will probably grace the campus of Duke next year. ROGER ANDERSON Football Manager (2, 3, W’4); Archaeological Society (2. 3); Band (2, 3, 4); Music Festival (3); Literary Club (3, 4); Glee Club (4); Annual (4).

SAM ARBES Baseball (2, 3, 4); Football (W'4); Basketball (W4). Sam. a tall, heavy, handsome, darkeyed terror of the school, is one reason why teachers grow gray. Sam is big hearted and amiable if lie has his own way. He has shown great ability on the gridiron, and has been a real asset to the athletic department. With his experience as a cook, he should be a real matrimonial catch. MARCARET AVERY Latin Club (2); Weather Vane (2. 3, 4); Hi'i Eye (4); Catalyst Club (3); Forum (J, 4); Civic Committee 14); Basketball (2); Hockey (2); Annual (Editor 4-. Maggie, school renowned for original ideas and sense of humor, can be seen nightly munching raw carrots over physics. We venture a guess that her cleverness will carry her as far in Michigan as that dazzling smile and literary aptitude have in high school. ELSIE ARMSTRONG Mask and Mime (3); Photoplay Club (3). Never a dull moment when Elsie appears on the scene, full of humor and always ready to lend a helping hand. She is fond of sports and is a menacing goalie to the opposing team in any hockey game. Elsie's musical abilities have earned her a place in both orchestra and band, where she plays the ’cello and French horn. PRISCILLA BACKUS French Club (2, 3, 4). Latin Club (2. ), 4); Baseball (2); Mask and Mime (2, 3. 4); Senior Play Committee (4). Tilly, one of our New Fnglanders, is interested in art and dramatics as well as in other clubs. Slit was appointed to do the stage model for the senior play. Although a quiet miss, she has a grand sense of humor In Latin class. Mr. Allen always calls on her inappropriately. MARJORIE AUSTER Latin Club (2, 3. 4); French Club i 2, 3, 4); Weather Vam (2, 3, lidi-lor-in-Chicf 4i: Hockey (2, 3); Basketball (2. 3. 4); G.A.C. (3. 4). You’ve all seen her on the stage with a bright announcement, on the hockey field in goalie pads, or marching in the band. A constant occupant of Swiftie’s office, Margie can nevertheless be counted on to attend to editorial duties and give life to any party. DORIS BAKER Typing Club (2). That streak of reddish gold hair flying across to the mnex always proved to be Doris, rushing to a belated bookkeeping class. Although one of the quieter members of our class, she makes us feel that die knows more than she tells. Did you know that Doris has twin aunts in the Sophomore Class? Incidentally, Doris is a great believer in letting George do it.” seventeen
