THE BROWNIE 19 Class Biographies The best dressed girl in our class is AUDREY ABEEL. She joined us in her sophomore year and has been with us ever since. As magazine campaign man- ager and business manager of the year- book she has done a very good job. We wish her luck in her career as a designer. We have in our class a few very good farmers. One of the best is JOHN AZEVEDO. He also has a great liking for brunettes. His favorite pastime is argu- ing with Miss Doyle in history class. In our senior play he played the part of a villain very convincingly. The master musician in our class is Lioyp BRIGHTMAN, who plays in our high school orchestra. Besides being a good violin player, he also sings well and had a leading part in the operetta, “H. M. S. Pinafore.” One of his special- ties is corny jokes. He had to leave us during the latter part of the year to go into the U. S. Army. HAROLD CASWELL is our most studious fellow, and he always manages to have his assignments done on time. Roller skating is his hobby and he spends all his spare time at the Lincoln Park Rink. JANET Crapo is rather quiet, and she'd rather sleep than study in her classes. She has helped us out a great deal in our sale of stationery and with the properties for our senior play. She does her part in keeping up the morale of the lonesome soldiers at Horseneck. One of the greatest sports lovers of our class is LILLIAN EMonp. She has been a class offcer each of her four years in high school. She is a very lively person and can always find plenty of action wherever she goes. She has shown us she can make others obey her orders during the time she was one of our trafhc officers. The most feminine girl of our class is JEAN GIFFORD, who has done a fine job taking care of the War Stamp money. She has always made it balance and has been an efficient editor-in-chief of ““The Villager”. We find most of her evenings are taken up by a popular junior boy. We have in our class a young fellow, who is studying hard to be a pilot, and we hope he will be a great success. This fellow is WILLIAM HEALy, the most thoughtful person in the class, who is very quiet and amiable. He helped our baseball team a great deal with his pitch- ing. One member of this class wants to be a social secretary and do some traveling. Dorotny KING, the girl we speak about, did a very admirable piece of work as the secretary of the Student Council. We remember her by one special passion she had, her love of eating, (and hope that she won’t want to eat too much in her travels.) The artist of our class is ZOLA KIRBY. She did those unusual covers for “The Villager”, our school paper, during the last two years. She is a very good-natured person, and her musical ability has al- lowed her to be in the orchestra for all her four years of high school. ELIZABETH LAKE is the quietest girl in our class and also the most studious. She helped the class a great deal with the properties for the senior play. We know that she will always get along well in later life if she remains as sweet as she is NOW. PHILIP MANCHESTER, JR., our class president for the past two years, and also a class ofhcer in the first two years of high school, served as president of the Student Council during his senior year. He has always been a popular boy and has his favorite girl in the freshman class. Better known as “Pete”, he is an athletic fellow and excels in all sports. One of the happiest fellows of this class is GEORGE MEpeEIROs. He is al- ways happy and is a good sport. The best dressed boy in the class, he always looks very neat. He proved to be a very good manager of our stationery sales. The most glamorous girl in our class is VICTORIA MIECZKOWSKI. After seeing her in our senior play, we know that she would make a very good actress. She

20 i dD Eee Be ReOiWeN7 i is happy-go-lucky and sometimes is a little bit too carefree and lets her work slide along hoping to get it done at the iast minute. An argumentative as well as a teasing young fellow is DANA REED. He loves to argue with anyone and we believe he would even argue with a stone wall if he had something to argue about. We ex- pect to see him mayor some day. Among the active girls of the class is HAZEL SHoREY. She has always been a very good salesman in the magazine campaigns. She had the leading rcle in the senior play and played it very well. She does her part in keeping up the morale of a member of the Army Air Corps. One of the most athletic fellows of our class is PAUL SitviA. He plays all sports and plays them all well. He is happy when teasing someone, and we wonder if he teases his flame from Dart- mouth as much as he does the girls around school. He is now serving in the U. S. Navy. Advice to We, the graduating class of °44, about to relinquish our places to you, the pros- pective Seniors, do offer our advice which we hope will help you. First of all, it is wise to set a good example for the lower classmen. It would be a good policy to cooperate with your classmates and teachers in order that you may be successful Sen- iors. Don’t interrupt Mrs. Fabiano’s classes to get books or they may be thrown at you. We think that if you form this habit you will find that your future will be more pleasant. Remember that you boys who are go- ing to prepare for the armed forces should start now and get as much as you possibly can from your Senior year. By this we do not mean games of chance down in the locker room or in study hall. You girls who have not already chosen your life work, decide upon it before you come back to -school next Another good farmer of the class is CarL Tripp, better known to all his classmates as “Baldy”. He is one person who can take teasing when others tease him as well as tease others. We wish him the best of luck in the Navy. The best poet of our class is HANNAH Tripp. She always has some witty say- ing and is well liked by all of her fellow students. She is a good all-around stu- dent herself, and we know she -will find her teaching career a very fitting one. Among us there is a lively fellow known to all by the name of “John”. His real name is Invinc Tripp. He joins in most of the sports and is a great tease. Along with playing in the or- chestra he has done a very good job of taking over the work of editor of “The Brownie’, the yearbook, when our real editor had to leave to enter the service. LILLIAN EMOND DorotTHy KING HAZEL SHOREY the Juniors fall. Get all the information and re- quirements needed in your line of work and adapt your courses to it. Another matter, which is very im- portant, is your loyalty to school activi- ties. - You should forget last year’s record and try to set a better one, if possible. Try to support the entertain- ments which your school sponsors. When your class has dances and plays you will want to be well supported. We also wish to impress upon you the importance of getting your assign- ments done on time, so that the next morning you won’t be running around copying your classmates papers. By do- ing this you will find you will have more spare time and won't be on detention. We hope that you will profit by this advice and wish you a very successful Senior year.
