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.

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. Hobbies: Swimming, dancing, skating. Activities: Class Basketball; Class Hockey; Class Base¬ ball; Varsity Hockey ’34; Highlights. Vocational Intention: To be a nurse.

NANCY JOSSELYN HALL When you really know Nan Hall, she’s quite different from what you probably imagined from after glancing at her report card! She goes in for sports very little, and was extremely busy knitting in gym class the other day. In spite of not much participation, she is an ardent sports fan. Ladies’ day at Fenway Park will always find her in the front row with vocal chords in use at full steam. Born: Worcester; March 31, 1918. Hobbies: Music, and shooting crap. Activities: Valedictorian; Editorial Editor of Highlights; Class Motto Committee; Chairman of Class Play Committee; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intention: Jackson. Ambition: Journalism. IMAKTIN THOMAS HANLEY Did you ever see Martin when he was worried, was on time, or when he was cross? No? Well, neither have we. Although Marty claims that his hobby is col¬ lecting Indian heads, we have every reason to believe that he is very fond of tickling girls’ necks with his pencils. A bit of a procrastinator, yet somehow managing to get there or, to finish it on time,—which, after all, is getting it done. It’s a pleasure to see, in this age of rushing, someone who never seems in a hurry. Born: Winchester; July 23, 1918. Hobby: Collecting Indian head pennies. Activities: Freshman Football. JOHN DOUGLAS HANLON Some combination we have here! With the looks of an Apollo, unequaled athletic ability, positions of year book manager, traffic officer, and Vice-President of the Senior class, “Jack” Hanlon holds a prominent place among the graduates. In other words, a regular guy; so here’s to John, “Jack,” “Steamer,” or just Hanlon— good luck and no dumb-bells to coach! Born: Winchester; June 24, 1918. Hobbies: Football, smoking “cee-gars.” Activities: Varsity Football ’33, (.:o-Captain ’34; Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Vice-President of Senior Class; Business Manager of Year Book; Traffic Squad; Class Night Committee; A. A. Representative. Vocational Intentions: To coach football at Dartmouth.
