JA.AIES GEKAKJ) GAFFNEY Gerry is popular. Gerry is an athlete. Gerry is a leader. Gerry is one of the best friends a fellow can have, but there is one person in the Senior Class who could name fifty better fellows than Gerry. This is Gerry himself. We forgot to mention that Gerry is modest to the point of having an inferiority complex. However, we’ll forgive him and not forget him. Born: Chelsea; May 17, 1915. Hobbies: Sailing, horseback riding. Activities: President A. A.; Winner Mansfield Cup; Varsity Track ’34, ’35; Traffic Squad; Boys’ Sports Editor of Aberjona; Varsity hAotball ’33, Co-Cap¬ tain ’34. Scholastic Intentions: Prep School. MARY EILEEN GAFFNEY Eileen doesn’t keep a diary. Why? Well, she’d have it filled too quickly. “Life is just a bowl of cherries” to Eileen, and with no worms in them either. Her pet hobby is being absent from school. Eileen has played on most of the class teams. Baseball is her favorite sport. Most of her time Is spent in Woburn, we won’t tell why because it’s so easy to make her blush. We all expect big things of Eileen in the future. Born: Winchester; June 9, 1918. Hobbies: Eating, roller skating. Activities: Class Hockey; Class Basketball; Class Base¬ ball. Scholastic Intentions: Bryant and Stratton. Ambition: Marry an heir. HENRIETTA GARNER As changeable as the weather, Henrietta “Hank” Garner takes the ups and downs of life and her men one after another. One reason for her popularity is her sense of humor which she never loses; one of her accom¬ plishments is knitting, and she’s some driver. She has the misfortune of opening the “Highlights” every week, and finding herself in the personal column, as do those who have the motto, “Safety in Numbers.” Born: Winchester; December 18, 1917. Activities: Class Basketball; Class Baseball; Manager of Hockey; Traffic Squad; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Junior College. Ambition: To own a Greyhound bus.

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.

alp.p:rt gaum St. Pete: Say, who is this fella Gaum? St. Paul: Oh he’s one of those bright fellows from W. H. S. who’s pretty good at everything. Optimistic and a bidder, he’s a great pal. Had a little trouble with the women, perhaps. St. Pete: That’s so? Hmm. Guess we better start his record in a new book. St. Paul: Yeah, you’ll need a lot of room. He’s sure got a big future ahead of him. Born: Moriah Center, N. Y.; May 13, 1917. Activities: Varsity Football ’34; Track ’33, ’34, ’35; Class Orator; Assistant Editor, Aberjona; A. A. Executive Board; Sports Editor, Highlights; Traffic; Class Basketball; High Honors. Scholastic Intentions: Yale. Ambition: $10,000 per year, and up. DOROTHY GLIDDEN Dot sits calmly seeping in the pearls of wisdom and when she is called upon, can hand it back again concisely and promptly. Try to stump her! In the future we shall wonder, “How doth the busy little bee?” Born: Jackson, Michigan; May 15, 1917. Hobbies: Skiing, horseback riding. Activities: Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Varsity Baseball; A. A. Secretary; Dramatic Society; Science Club Secretary; Highlights Staff; Aberjona Staff; Class Play Committee. Intentions: Boston School of Physical Education. Ambition: To be a coach or dancer. DOROTHY PAULINE GOODHUE Dolly is another all-round gal, not a boney part on her. She has danced almost since she could walk, and is no amateur when it comes to fancy footwork! Of course we don’t really know, but circumstantial evidence seems to prove that the quality of courage is strong in her make-up. Remember the story in the Boston Herald last year of a young woman who plunged into the Aber¬ jona River after her dog—well, that was Dolly. Born: Boston; April 4, 1918.
