CLAUE FAKPvEY Clare was Woburn’s g’ift to Winchester Hig’h, to D. C. and to Art. ’Tis said that “Art has its fanatics and even its monomaniacs.” Clare falls into neither of these categories, for although she sketches Popeye, Jiggs, Jimmy Durante’s nose, and adorable cowboys from the wild and woolly West, she takes a keen interest in learn¬ ing to keep her car on the road, camping and fishing. As long as Chinese restaurants continue to serve Chop Suey, they may be assured of Clare’s patronage—a pineapple sundae is the customary follow-up! One day we shall vie for the honor of having her paint our pic¬ tures. Born: Woburn, March 12, 1918. RAiMONA : rAKrANNh] FENTON Ramona writes that she aspir es to be an aviatrix or an interior decorator, but she’s really going to be an au¬ thority on techniciue in the movies. What kind of tech¬ nique she will specialize in she hasn’t quite decided. It may possibly deal with methods of self-control at a tear- jerker with a stony-hearted boy friend. Ramona prefers the movies in which the strong handsome type of man plays. She professes to be a man hater, but she’ll fall for the men if they fall for her first. Born: Woburn; September 2, 1917. Hobbies: Reading. Ambition: To be an aviatrix or an interior decorator. IIAHIJY ANTHONY FERULLO “Fuzzy” is constantly springing the strangest sur¬ prises, ones that make us change our minds about him. He unobtrusively collects A’s and B’s in such subjects as Math IV and Physics. He came out lor Track this spring and (luietly proceeded to make the team. He does all this with no show or pretense. He’s so quiet that you can hear him change his mind. We have a feeling that he will keep on delivering the goods the same way he’s faithfully delivered his papers. Born: Medford; November 13, 1917. Hobbies: Early morning walks. Activities: Gym Team; Varsity Track ’35. Ambition: To catch the man on the flying ti’apeze. Hobbies: Baseball, drawing. Ambition: To be an artist.

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?

MAKJORTE FINGER Owing to the fact that Margy never talks, it was rather hard to learn anything about her personal life; but she does love elephants. This year because of Scar¬ let Fever and other things we haven’t seen as much of Margy as we’d like, but you can always tell when she’s around. Someone’s laughing. Be good when you get to Wellesley, Margy, and don’t let any more bacteria catch up with you. Born: Saugertus, N. Y.; February 15, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, elephants, all sports. Activities: Red Cross; Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball; A. A. Representative; Year Book Staff; Traffic Squad. Scholastic Intentions: Brimmer and Wellesley. Ambition: To be a sampler of contagious diseases. DORIS FLANDERS “Dot” personifies a type which is rare in 1935—a quiet, retiring young lady with equal parts of sweetness and spirit. She goes in for tobogganing and Long Pond in the winter. She swims in summer in Wedge if there’s nothing better. “Dot” has rather a yen for Paris along with her dress-buying idea, and when asked if the much- exploited night life of “Gay Paree” would find her in its whirl she answered, “Well, maybe?” Born: Somerville; September 11, 1916. Hobbies: Learning how to be silly, keeping our aquarium clean. Ambition: To be a dress-buyer for Saks, Fifth Avenue. COLETTE : rARTON GAFFNEY Colette’s one of the best little haunters this old terra firma has ever lifted its orbs to. She has ac- (luired the technique of pursuing an innocent bystander down the corridor, and making him pledge his life away for some magazines for that worthy cause, the Red Cross. Colette is one of those girls who settled down after a frivolous Freshman year—just ask her about that year if you feel like listening to someone talk without interruption for, say, a weekend. Born: Chelsea; September 21, 1917. Hobbies: Dancing, football. Activities: Secretary Red Cross; Jr.-Sr. Class Play; Traffic Squad; Dramatic Society; Highlights. Vocational Ambition: To teach.
