MARGARET BURROWS Peggy Commercial French Club 2; History Club 1. Peggy” is a serious, thoughtful senior with a pleasant disposition. A sense of responsibility is part of her character, as we wish it were of all of us. Since they are inseparable friends, where you find ”Lo,” you can usually find Peggy. TESSIE BUTCHKA Butch General Although she arrived from Tech only this year, Tessie has already become an established member of the class. Although we don't know her very well, if first impressions are reliable, she’s all right. LILLIAN BYCHICH Chee Commercial Although Chee” has only recently joined us from New Jersey, her pretty blue eyes and dancing feet are already a tradition here at school. In the short time we knew her we felt that wre wished we could have known her longer because of her interesting personality. RUTH CALDWELL Rut hie General Band 2, 3, 4. Ruthie has taken the phrase girls should be seen and not heard” so to heart that now as a senior the most noise she ever makes is in the band where her clarinet makes sweet music. In class, she is quiet, but her alert mind is on the job and she learns a lot. JEANNE CARON Jeanne General Science Club 1; History Club 1; French Club 4. Although Jeanne has tried our neighboring school for part of her senior year, she has returned to W.M.I. to graduate with the rest of her colleagues. This is indeed a credit to our school for one so pretty and vivacious as Jeanne adds luster to us, the fairer sex. LEGENDA 1939 Tage Twenty-three

MAE BROTHWELL Mae General German Club 4; Legend a Advertising Staff 4; Christmas Play 4. There seems to be not a few of the quieter members in the class this year. Mae is one of these for whom there is a strange attraction at our neighboring school on the west side. Perhaps when one knows Charlie’’ it is not so strange. FRANCES BRUCE Fran Commercial History Club 1 ; Science Club 1 ; Legenda Business Manager 4; Descant Typist 4; Freshman Play 1 ; Prize in Modern History 2; Honor Pin 1. Fran” can change from a serious mood to a gay one as the occasion demands. One minute she'll be deep in a discussion of the underlying causes of the French Revolution and the next minute she’ll be giggling with the rest of us about some classroom boner. The tremendous success of this year’s Legenda is partly due to the business ability of Fran.” MARION BUCKLEY Bucky General She shall have music wherever she goes,” for she has songs in her heart and rhythm in her toes. This is typical of Bucky” with her dancing feet and light heart. No wonder Rocky” finds her such pleasing company. JANET BULL Jan General History Club 4; Christmas Play 4. Jan” is one of our more popular misses and we often see her flying by in her little black Ford filled with gay, laughing girls. Petite, pretty, pleasing, with loads of personality. Can we wonder at her popularity? LOIS BURR Lo General Orchestra 2, 3; Chairman of Washington Trip 4. Most burrs” are sharp on the exterior although they hide-something good underneath. ”Lo” is sweet, both inside and out, however, and so is the music she plays on her violin. If you want a trip planned, or some detail straightened out, Lo” is the Travelers' Aid” of W.M.I., having capably arranged our senior trip to the nation’s capitol. Page Twenty-two LEGENDA 1939

MARY CATTON Mac General Tennis 3 ; French Club 4; Drama Club 3, 4; History Club 2, 3; Latin Club 4; Legend a Picture Committee 4; Christmas Play 4. We shall remember Mary as the lovely Madonna in our Senior Christmas play. Because of her high color, pretty blue eyes and nice complexion, Mary is prettier off the stage than on. The lunch room is her favorite haunt sixth period, where she can be seen talking and laughing with her many friends who enjoy being with her. JUNE CAVANAUGH Junie General History Club 4; Legend a Picture Editor 4 ;• Descant Typist 4. Junie” is another of our quieter members of the class, with a retiring personality, but she has a legion of friends. Her blue eyes and wavy black hair have made a lasting impression on us. She joyfully anticipates the day when she'll join the ranks of the first June brides. DOROTHY CHAPIN Dorsey College French Club 3. 4; History Club 2, 3; Science Club 1 ; Legenda Circulation Staff 4; Christmas Play 4. Dorsey is an ardent supporter of all our school dances, as well as those of the Hi I lard and Coast Guard academies. She enjoys a good time and good companionship. She is studious and reserved, and she is a girl of fine character. ALICE CHRISTOPHERSON Chris General Chris” came to us from Fitch last year but has still retained her modest shyness. Her serious green eyes give hint to her earnest efforts in her studies. Although Chris” is less talkative than some of her classmates, she has made numerous friends at W.M.I. HAZEL CLARK Haze Commercial Drama Club 1; Descant Business Manager 4. Hazel is number one on Tommy Dorsey's jitterbug parade. Wherever there's swing, there’s Hazel. She has her more serious side too, and stands well in her studies. With that combination anything can happen. Perhaps some day she may be leading an orchestra of her own.
