KUTII BAILEY IIENBERGEK Ruthie is strong on that banging, walking, and starting novels although she did finish a few of the latter, way back in the dear, dead days. Winter times she does rather a bit of tobogganing; sometimes she manages to gather those particular young male sports¬ ters into the house afterwards for refreshments. Ruthie’s castle is a cute apartment in Greenwich Village, with a year job, a pair of shoes for every day per month, and New Year’s Eve at the “Village Barn!” Born: Jamaica Plain; July 27, 1917. Hobbies: Banging the piano, starting novels, walking. Activities: A. A.; Chorus. Ambition: To find one of my novels in the library. MARTHA HILL You may think that Martha’s shy, but if you saw her in the capacity of the only girl counsellor at a boys’ camp, you’d be surprised. Martha falls for men with curly hair possessing sufficient ability to paddle canoes. She is one of those persons who believe that it’s a great life if your “dont’s” weaken. Nobody ever asked why she was interested in psychology, but we happen to know she wonders why certain people behave as they do. Born: Arlington; February 22, 1918. Hobbies: Music, psychology, poetry. Activities: Dramatic Society; Traffic. Ambition: To write and publish verse. RICHARD HOGAN “Didge” possesses another sportive appellation de¬ rived from the low frequency of both his mental and physical oscillations. This one is “lazy Dick.” He has graced our stately corridors, lo, these past four years. His flaming carrot-top could not have been missed, it is such a rare blend. Traffic officers appreciated his drag¬ ging feet which effectively slowed down many a rushing horde. “Didge” is at his best in the bleachers or grand¬ stand where he can effectively razz everyone, no matter his size, and have no worries as to his safety. Born: Winchester; March 23, 1918. Hobbies: Studying.

FRAXC’IS WILL1A: I HARKINS “Good nature and good sense are usually companions,” but here they are more like lovers. Frank is one of those rare individuals who always has his work done on time. He is very quiet in the classroom but outside-! Any¬ one privileged to be listed as a friend of his is indeed fortunate, for Frank will always stick up for his friends loyally and will let them copy his bookkeeping. We’ll alwavs remember that gloom-dispellin’, smile-dispensin’ member of the class of ’35. Born: Somerville; August 22, 1917. Hobbies: Swimming, basketball. Activities: Class Basketball ’34. Intentions: Wentworth Institute. Ambition: To be a mechanic. RARBAKA HARRIS “Barb” quietly dropped into our midst last Septem¬ ber. Since then she has quietly won her way into the hearts of many—both sexes. During the winter, along with skiing, tobogganing, and skating. Barb managed to knit several sweaters and skirts which are the envy of many girls. The boys say she’s a real pal, and a square shooter. Like science, the more you know about her the more you want to know. Born: Rumford, Maine; March 25, 1917. Hobbies: Poetry, athletics. Activities: Class Hockey; Year Book Staff. Scholastic Intentions: Bradford Junior College. Vocational Intentions: Dietician. RllVLLlS .MTTRIELLE HARTWELL “Phyl” is all-round girl—all year ' round, although summer is preferred. She has ability in the theatrical line, the executive, and just regular loquacity! Among her souvenirs are Wine Lists, “No Parking” signs, and pictures of that nice Englishman—the naval one. She is an ardent enthusiast of the barn dance. What would the Highlights have done without her? Born: Chelsea; October 28, 1916. Hobbies: Fishing, dancing, writing, rifle-shooting. Activities: Science Club; Dramatic Society; Class Play; Class Night Committee. Scholastic Intentions: Leland Powers School. Ambition: Marry a naval officer. WINCHESTER PUBLIC U«Um WINCHESTER, MASS.

ROP.EKT HAMILTON UO YE He—Decent looking; chap, square of shoulder, set of jaw. She—Just like Jimmy Cag ' ney! He—A bit sure of himself perhaps ? She—But oh, that cute gigg’le! He—He’s certainly capable, hard-working, and on the level. I guess he’ll make good. She—Sure he will, for he’ll always have friends. A regular guy, is that Red Howe! Born: Arlington, February 27, 1917. Hobbies: Tennis, boating, printing. Activities: Highlights Business Mgr.; Aberjona Staff; Thrift Ass’n; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Dartmouth. Ambition: Publishing. JEAN IIUC ' KINS “Pert” would be an appropriate adjective, for Jean always has a wide-awake-and-alert look about her. We hear she intends to run a nursery school (and those males who are inclined to feel a second childhood coming on are at liberty to enroll). Her talent as a pianist and roller skater must be great, for when she plays the piano the men fall for her and when she skates, she falls for the men. Born: Winchester; October 29, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, reading. Activities: Dramatic Society; Science Flub; “Pinafore”. Ambition: To run a nursery school. NANC’Y PENDLETON JACKSON When Nancy’s papa and momma named that chubby little lump of femininity “Nancy” they showed a gift of prophecy, for that name suggests someone who is viva¬ cious, blithe, and enthusiastic. Of the pupils in Win¬ chester High, Nancy certainly takes the cake for being the best natured and the most enthusiastic, and she likes anything from Black’s Diner hamburgers to big blond Harvard seniors. Born: Minneapolis, Minn.; May 6, 1917. Hobbies: Taking my Scottie for a walk. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Vice Pres. A. A.; Traffic; Dramatic Society; Jr.-Sr. Play Committee; Editorial Board of “Highlights”. Scholastic Intentions: Wellesley.
