Qlsiss of 1955 TILDEN GRAFTON ABBOTT, JR. Graf is the boy who comes to school in a “strawberry crate on baby carriage wheels,” talks and gazes at an attractive freshman in study hall, and waltzes so divinely at the A. A. Dances. We don’t know the girl in New¬ ton, but if she can compete with “Gertie” she’s all right. If given a chance, Graf might be a social reformer— ever heard him lecture and did you see the style he set at a DeMolay Dance? Born: Montclair, N. J.; December 12, 1916. Hobbies: Sailing canoes, car. Activities: Orchestra. Intentions: University of New H ampshire. Ambition: Engineering. JANE ALBRO Jane is an enigma, gentle readers. This proper¬ looking daughter of our head Latin teacher is not as prim as she looks. Her private life is practically un¬ known, but of course that’s more interesting anyhow. Some might think “I’ll bet she hasn’t any,” but who can tell? Jane’s tennis used to be something of a panic, but no one can laugh at that little silver cup on her dressing table. Jane plans to be a junior-councilor at a camp this summei’, to practice firmness of mind! Born: Medford; April 19, 1917. Hobbies: Riding, life saving, tennis. Activities: “Pinafore”; “Nothing But The Truth” prompter; Thrift Association. Scholastic Intentions: Chamberlain School. Ambition: Stylist. RUTH ELIZABETH ASELTINE Ruthie is well on the way toward her goal. Her prospects as a second Helen Wills look good. Besides her tennis, Ruthie enjoys nothing more than cheering up the good-looking boys about town. She even makes traf¬ fic officers forget they’re on duty. She can’t help being a flirt any more than she can help sending a tennis ball to the correct spot. It just comes natural. Well, Ruthie, you’ll never get left. Born: Winchester; August 6, 1917. Hobbies: Tennis, knitting’, dancing. Activities: Highlights; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Var¬ sity Tennis; A. A.; Thrift Association; Dramatic Society. Ambition: To be a second Helen Wills.
