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.

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.

RUTH EVANS CUTTER Her movements are leisurely and unhurried, except in a scrimmage around the hockey cage. Nothing can ruffle her calm serenity, however, not even a set point. Very quiet, and equally unassuming, she hides her many fine qualities. She is unobtrusively active; and, though having earned several varsity letters, Ruth is so modest that she hides behind the curtain on the stage when she receives them. Born: Methuen; July 25, 1917. Hobbies: Collecting liquor bottles. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Baske tball 2nd Team; Tennis ’33, ’34, ’35; Thrift Ass’n; Red Cross. Vocational Intentions: Surgical assistant. PAULINE LUCILLE D’AMBROSIA There are many imitations, but “Pucky” is the original, one and only human question mark. Her re¬ markable power of forcing bewildered teachers to suc¬ cumb to her questioning and amazing statements should be developed. It might be of use in calming Hitler. And just wait until Pauline gets Prof. Einstein within range of her fire of questions! Just how much firing will he be able to stand before he’ll admit there really isn’t any fourth dimension ? Born: Winchester; Sept. 14, 1918. Hobbies: Reading. Activities: Science Club; Class Hockey. Vocational Intentions: To do Social Service work. PRISCILLA DANFORTII Although Pri says that her main ambition is to design clothes, we know better—it really is to keep Cliffie on a string, and does he like it! She also says that she spends most of her time wishing to be someone else!— but then, some people are never satisfied. And how she is decorative at school, in the house, or on the tennis court! Born: Winchester; July 22, 1917. Hobbies: Wishing to be somebody else, riding. Activities: Red Cross Secretary ’34, Vice Pres. ’35; Mgr. Basketball ’33, ’35; Traffic Sciuad; Cheer Leader; Class Treasurer ’35; Jr.-Sr. Play Committee; Prom Committee; Orchestra. Ambition: To design clothes.
