SHOGIIER ALTX BAGIIDOYAN Most people think that they know everything about Shog’her when they know of her ability as an artist and her sunny disposition and delicious giggle. But Shogher is really a mystery woman, for we know nothing about her real self. Were she to reveal more about herself we could without doubt, unwind many an interesting anecdote; but the mystery woman prefers to remain a mystery. Born: Aleppo, Syria, April 14, 1919.

He was a varsity Footballer, found time to be president of the Junior class, contributed his golden bass-tenor to chorus and then, just for fun, be¬ came lieutenant of traffic— ' Ewie’s got to mingle, you know. And don’t think that Ewie’s heart affairs have the need of digitalis—Red hair goes pale when he enters Ford’s. Joking aside, Ewie has really done a great deal for the school and his gay nonchalance will be sadly missed. Born: Lincoln, R. I.; July 10, 1916. Hobbies: Walking “Dink” Toed.

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.

MAKION BANCROFT “The time has come,” the walrus said, “to talk of many things!” We are fully agreed that “Marne” should go to Emerson, for did you ever know anybody who is so capable of waxing eloquent in true soap-box style on so varied a list of subjects ? But it is also admitted that what comes out is no indication of that enviable store of knowledge. Born: Melrose, August 27, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, reading. Activities: Dramatic Society; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Duke. Ambition: To run a bookshop. EDWARD BATSON “Bats” will some day be one of the leading mechan¬ ical engineers of Alaska. He will benefit by his great knowledge of science and invent a locomotive for the kiddies that will be world-famous . . . the kind that Dad won’t play with on Christmas morn! It is suggested that all of Eddie’s classmates who wish to see their old pal, take a trip to Dawson City, where he will supervise the building of the new railroad that carries gold minei-s. Born: Winchester; August 5, 1916. Hobbies: Photography, locomotives. Activities: Science Club; Varsity Track ’35. Scholastic Intentions: Northeastern University. Vocational Intentions: Mechanical Engineer. BARBARA BERRY Dear old “Butch”! Who leans towards football heroes and “Frat” dances. Perhaps she isn’t so “lean”, but she’s got plenty of push. Wait ’til she gets to Cow Hampshire and teaches the “hicks” something or two about an Indian war-hoop giggle at one of the games. This gal may someday study calisthenics in Germany but here’s hoping her German does more for her than M. Le Brun ever did for her French. Born: Winchester, August 14, 1917.
