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.

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.

EVELVX MUUAM COKEY Here is the liltinj? “flame” of the class of ’35. No, she’ll never be a nite-club hostess, as many believe. How¬ ever, she can duplicate “Mae” if given some black velvet and a bit of mascara. The trip Evvy will take up the Amazon some day may bring- her romance in a swagger¬ ing Gaucho. But she belongs in some atmosphere; that is, apart from conventionality, so why not? Born: Winchester; December 7, 1917. Activities: Dramatic Society; Highlights; Science Club; Jr.-Sr. Class Play. Scholastic Intentions: Colby. Vocational Intentions: Commercial artist. L. PETER CORNWALL Peter is one of those strong silent men about whom we are always reading. He’s like the great doctor-ma¬ gician of W. H. S. vaudeville fame who didn’t break his silence for twenty-five years—the only difference being that Peter hasn’t broken his yet. However, when he does, we shall all be very much surprised at the reser¬ voir of knowledge he has managed to hold back. We expect to see him president of two or thr-ee railways in the future—if he doesn’t run away from himself in the interim. Born: Boston; April 22, 1917. Hobby: Railroads. Activities: Science Club. Ambition: Always to be connected with railroads. PATRICIA CROTTGIIWELL In these difficult days of painted Dietrichs, she’s a comfort, is Patricia Croughwell. For, first, last, and all the time she’s a feminine. Yes, she’s sweet, and tune¬ ful, friendly, and attractive. She’s always ready to take a pointer, especially a West Pointer. And if the Scot who is the namesake of her friend, Bobbie Burns, knew her and had it to write over again he’d say, “A girl’s a girl for a’ that.” Born: Medford, February 2, 1916. Hobbies: Driving a car, travel. Activities: Dramatic Society; “Pinafore.” Ambition: Clothes Buyer.
