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.

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.

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.

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.

DAVID E. GROSVENOR This is 1935. Hats off to a graduate who doesn’t raise his eyebrows at every blonde he sees, and wink at every brunette. Why, he isn’t even a one-girl-man, but a confirmed woman hater. This popular fellow intends to be a scientist, after graduating from Wesleyan. Every¬ one has the same respect and admiration for him. And girls—don’t give up hope. He may outgrow his com¬ plex yet. Born: Springfield; December 18, 1917. Hobbies: Collecting whiskey bottles. Activities: President of the Red Cross; Traffic Squad; Varsity Football ’35; Varsity Basketball ’35; Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Wesleyan. Ambition: Scientist. LESTER CARLISLE GUSTIN, JR. “Gus” is like an old Ford in that you never can tell what he’ll do next. Though you can be sure he’ll do it well—even if it’s nothing. Last year, pretty girls on dance floors drawled “Juny;” this year football fans shout “Gus.” He can act like Gable on or off the stage, and to hear him debating in Ford’s, one wouldn’t doubt his making a sale to a Puller Brush man. Born: Arlington; December 1, 1916. Hobbies: Outboards, newspapers. Activities: Football ’31, ’34; Track ’32, ’35; Dramatic Society; President of Debating Club. Scholastic Intentions: Norwich. Vocational Intentions: Politics. .AIARY ELIZADETII HALL We have an actress in our midst, a combination of May Robson and Madge Evans. She can laugh and cry beautifully, even doing the latter without the aid of the proverbial onions. Mary’s passion is in the turf, and she “goes” not only for the horses but also for thei] ' riders. We expect that five years from now Mary will be directing and playing in “Broadway Bill” and we hope she comes through with flying coloi ' s. Born: Somerville; January 6, 1917. Hobbies: Horse racing, dramatics. Activities: Dramatic Society; “Nothing but the Truth.” Scholastic Intentions: Colby. Ambition: To be a dramatic director.
