ELIZABETH DAVIS ClIAMIiEKLIN Besides many smooth combinations of skirts and hand-knitted sweaters, Lee has rheumatism in the winter and goes sailing in the summer. At football games many a lad’s heart braces if he catches a glimpse of her flash¬ ing smile. In the future she will not only be a buyer in some ultra-exclusive shop, but she will also be seen in Camel ads. Born: Boston; February 24, 1917. Hobbies: Sailing. Activities: Red Cross; A. A. Representative; Class Basket¬ ball; Varsity Baseball. Ambition: To be a buyer. GKETCTIEX CLEAVES Energy—double plus! Grebchen is one of those great out-of-door girls, who scales rocks, skiis down mountains, and is afraid of spiders. Ten years from now Gretchen will be known, not only as an inspiring hockey captain, but as a famous doctor. Can’t you just picture her in a white uniform, stealing all the male doctors’ practice? Born: Medford; February 11, 1917. Hobbies: Mountain climbing, skiing. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Captain, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’33, ’34; Varsity Tennis ’34; Ping- Pong, Science Clubs; Di ' amatic Society; Class Play Committee; Secretary Thrift Ass’n; Highlights; Year Book Staff. Vocational Intention: Doctor. Ambition: To climb the Matterhorn. FLOKEXCE KETII COLLIXS Meet “Ruthie” Collins. She composes verses about everything, possible and impossible, and they’re all good- and terrible. Ruth’s ambition is to have insomnia. She thinks sleeping is a waste of time. Why, she might be seeing Frederic March, her greatest passion, in the time others spend sleeping. Although she’s only been here a year, the school will hate to lose her. But there’s not much money in poetry—she may come back for a P. G. course. Born: Winchester; January 15, 1918. Hobbies: Tennis, swimming, collecting poems. Activities: Class Hockey. Ambition: Finish my eight speeches.

PEARL ELIZABETH CAMPBELL When it comes to horsemanship, she’s well ahead of even the Prince of Wales, since His Highness has fallen off considerably lately. Soup will never be hard up for cups for she is the proud possessor of a great many, rang¬ ing from the size of an egg-cup to an umbrella stand. As for funny blue, yellow, and red bows—she could supply Woolworth’s for a year! With Pearl it has been, continues to be, and may always be, “A kingdom for a horse.” Born: Everett; September 15, 1916. Hobbies: Riding horses. Ambition: To liquidate the Campbell Soup Company. VIRGINIA CARLSON Where can one find a word to describe Ginny ? She is so indefinable and so elusive. Nothing can ruffle her calm serenity. Quietude is one of her dearest hobbies. Ginny is one of our most attractive models in encyclo¬ pedias, fair hair, beautiful complexion, and deep green eyes. And also, like an encyclopedia, much research is necessary to bring out her true self. With her talent, her personality, and her looks, Ginny couldn’t have any¬ thing but success in future years. Born: Winchester; June 13, 1917. Hobbies: Music, swimming. Scholastic Intentions: Business College. Ambition: Secretary. JOSEPH ANTHONY CASSIDY Joe is one of those fortunate individuals who always has an appropriate joke or witty saying for any situa¬ tion. He is always smiling and ready for a good time, and ready to tell you a nice big “one”. When Joe was elected president of the senior class, one couldn’t help wondering if he would accept it with his happy-go-lucky manner. Need we add that Joe is one of our best officers? Born: Winchester, June 14, 1918. Hobby: Thinking up money-making schemes. Activities: Varsity Football ’34; Class Pres. ’35; Aber- jona Staff; Highlights; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Bridgton Academy.

JOHN COLLINS Jack’s middle name should be “Science;” it would be strangely appropriate, for that’s his big subject. He is one of our school’s quietest young men—a real asset to the place! He never takes the initiative in class, al¬ though he is just as apt as the next fellow. Sleeping is an art in which he seems practically native, but it doesn’t hinder his job as paper-boy. A Nobel Prize is sure to come his way. Born: Winchester; September 22, 1916. Hobbies: Experimenting and bottle washing. Activities: Charter Member Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Northeastern or B. U. Ambition: Win a Nobel ANN IIALRIET COLUCCI Annie may be small, but she sure does travel when she’s hanging on to the end of a hockey stick; and when she starts heaving a basketball you know definitely that dynamite does come in small packages. As a nurse. Peanut’s success is assured. She never does anything halfway. She even has a smile for her opponents when they try to push her down. Born: Winchester; November 29, 1918. Hobbies: Hockey, swimming. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Varsity Baseball ’34, ’35. Vocational Intentions: To become a nurse. Prize. % MAKY MILDRED CORBY Although rather an obscure member of our class, Mary has numerous admii ' able qualities. Pleasantness and willingness are her mottoes. And such a delightful sense of humor! Wherever any cheering-up is to be done, Mary is Johnny-on-the-spot, but she doesn’t try to do it with “Little Audrey” stories. A good worker, a pleasing companion, and an enthusiastic “rooter” for her pals, especially a certain man on the baseball squad—what more could one ask for? Good luck, Mary! Born: Winchester; December 6, 1916. Hobbies: Dancing, hockey. Activities: Red Cross. Ambition: To be a secretary.
