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.

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.

LEONA ELLIOTT Cleora is Winchester’s giggling girl, who giggles at nothing. She has yet to have a serious hour or minute. Nothing bothers Cleora, and she is too busy doing nothing to bother anything—especially school work. Interest in art has led her to entertain friends with her unusually good sketches. She should have no difficulty in making a place for herself among the foremost artists of the world. Born: Winchester, May 7, 1916. Hobbies: All sports. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33; Basketball ’32. Ambition: To be or not to be. RICHARD DUNCAN ELLIOTT Chi-Chi is a man of the earth. His knowledge of Na¬ ture is astoundingly large. He can identify practically any bird, beast, or fish found in New England, not to mention the trees, toadstools, and flowers. He is one of the school’s “big shots,” as his record shows; though his modesty would belie that fact. Besides all this. Chi-Chi is a great friend in need, especially when one’s broke. Born: Winchester; November 26, 1916. Hobbies: Nature studies, science. Activities: Pres. Science Club; Class Pres. ’32; Vice Pres. Dramatic Society; Pres. Thrift Association. Scholastic Intentions: Mass. State College. Ambition: Politician. JAMES FARLEY Jim, you know, is the boy with the lovely wavy hair who has all the girls from Winchester as well as Woburn just dying to borrow that hair for a special affair. Dynamite could be a nickname for Jim because it makes a big noise and that’s all there is to it—and what a gift of gab!! We’ll let you in on a secret—he’s Miss Parker’s pet—aren’t you Jim ? Born: Reading; May 16, 1916. Hobbies: Hockey, dancing, bowling. Activities: Gym Team; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Vacation. Ambition: Why?
