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.

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.

(’IIAKLES F. DAVIS ---And Charles said, “Charles is a g ' reat man and as the years go by he will grow still greater. Charles un¬ doubtedly is a great man, as all great men are great. Charles the great is a man among men, or in other words, Charles, being great, is Charles the Great as a great man.” And so forth and so on through the night. Nevertheless, we’re sure Chuck will do well in journal¬ ism, or such, if he doesn’t become too gi’eat before he gets there. Born: White Plains, N. Y.; September 26, 1916. Hobbies: Swimming, eating, reading. Activities: Highlights; Vice President, ’33. Vocational Intentions: Journalism. ETHEL LORRAINE DEWAR When asked to write a paragraph about Lorraine we said surely—but upon further deliberation we found that Lorraine is such a quiet soul that there’s nothing much to say except that she is absolutely ice hockey- minded, at present—maybe in a few years she won’t have time to be attending’ hockey games and the like. We find that her ambition is to be on the girls’ ice hockey team—maybe a few of our co-eds are thinking along the same line—how about it Lorraine ? Born: Winchester; November 4, 1917. Hobbies: Dancing, ice hockey. Activities: Class Hockey; Basketball; Picture Committee. JOHN JOSEPH DOHERTY He possesses an inexhaustible supply of witticisms and subtleties and consequently is a constant source of delightful anticipation to his friends and a horrific antici¬ pation of his enemies. (Is this what you wanted, John?) Donkey has a vivid imagination, an exaggerated sense of the ridiculous, originality, plenty of pep, an insatiable fondness for a chair and an artistic capacity for stretch¬ ing stories. Life will never be dull for J. D. Born: Winchester; August 6, 1918. Hobbies: Stamp collecting. Activities: Basketball Manager; Highlights; Traffic Squad; Debating Club. Ambition: To be a professional golfer.
