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.

(’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.

KOOEK niADP.OIIRXE DOWNS Chad, known as “Downce” to his English class and “Rrrogerr” to his French class, has one outstanding feature. This is his well-known and undying devotion to “Ray Noble and his Orchestra” — yea! He is also known for his barn-dancing, and juggling the bones. High-jumping is something of a specialty, too. And unclerneatn it all, the boy conceals a heart of gold! Born: Arlington; June 6, 1918. Hobbies: Watch repairing, checkers. Activities: Class President ’33; Traffic Squad; Varsity Track ’35. Scholastic Intentions: Brown University. Ambition: About the usual amount. EDMUND LOUIS DUNN, JR. Eddie’s quite the man behind the wheel of his car, the speedometer swinging ever forward, and the tele¬ graph poles streaming past! He is wary about letting young ladies drive that auto, though, for out of the past rears the memory of a rash moment when he al¬ lowed it—and they barked up a tree!! Our hero is ad¬ dicted to doing such tricks as drinking glasses of water while standing on his head on a kitchen floor. You know—crazy stuff! Born: Cambridge; October 29, 1915. Hobbies: Driving, fishing industry, selling. Activities: Science Club; A. A. Scholastic Intentions: Bentley’s School. Ambition: Traveling salesman. JUNE ROSALIE EATON Do you know that shy, modest girl who tries so courageously to direct traffic in this Winchester High School? She is June Eaton. One of her outstanding- characteristics is a beautiful laugh. Have you heard it? She has made Long Pond famous by her dashing “figure eights.” And as for knitting, she is the smoothest thing in town. At Gloucester, the fishermen counted on her to help them pull in their nets. She is very fond of lobster. They say there is a scarcity of it when June arrives in Gloucester. Born: Somerville; June 7, 1917. Hobbies: Ping-Pong, skating. Activities: Red Cross; Traffic Squad; Highlights. Ambition: To go back to New York.
