(’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.

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.

THOMAS MT DONAGIIEY If we were to list those members of our class who “said little, did much and smiled always,” Tom would head the list. We have bribed the coach, but to no ad¬ vantage, to part with his secret concerning the nickname of “Sponge,” so we have concluded that his must be an “ole soak.” To predict just what Tom will do in the next few years is a human impossibility; he can do so many things! Born: Winchester; February 24, 1917. Hobbies: Reading, all sports. Activities: Baseball Captain ’35; Year Book Staff; Class Basketball; Traffic Squad. Vocational Intentions: To be a dentist. UARY ELTZABETTI DONOVAN Ginger’s hair has been one of the brightest spots in the school—remember those red, curly locks ? Her pet loves are chocolate cake, shorthand—when dictated slowly—and tennis. With Sue she has served on the extremely active board of “Unofficial Critics of Win¬ chester High.” At 8:14 % A. M., Monday through Friday, she may be seen tearing down Main Street, and up the school walk. Swinging a tennis racket. Ginger keeps fans busy chasing her tennis balls. Born: Winchester; June 29, 1918. Hobby: Tennis. Activities: Debating Club; Ring and Pin Committee; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Bryant Stratton. Ambition: Private Secretary. ROBERT JAMES DOTTEN Whenever there is any excitement around the school, you can make up your mind Bob Dotten has something to do with it. He may be calmly sitting with the or¬ chestra, playing a delightful trombone accompaniment. He may be starring in amateur theatricals. Whatever the occasion, whether it rains or shines, this all-round sport is always ready and waiting to do his part. Born: Winchester; October 6, 1916. Hobbies: Music, the Theatre. Activities: Class Basketball; Ping Pong Club; Junior- Senior Class Play; Orchestra; Dramatic Society; Class Prophet. Scholastic Intentions: Lenir Academy of Music.
