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.

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.

HELEN YOUNG JOHNSTON Helen, never refer to her as “Red” if you wish her friendship, hails from Connecticut, and is as close¬ mouthed about her private affairs as a clam. We al¬ most had to open her mail to find out that Leon writes to her weekly from New Haven. Helen is the best football player in town. Although famed for her silence, when she plays, it’s hard for anyone else to be heard. Swim¬ ming is her greatest accomplishment, but she skates and skiis with skill. Born: New Haven, Conn.; April 21, 1918. Activities: Science Club; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Simmons. Ambition: To study Dietetics. WALTER Y. JOSEPHSON Little Joe has claimed Winchester as his home town ever since August 16, 1917, when Joe first crashed life’s golden gates. On reaching High School, Joe had de¬ veloped sports as his hobby, much to Coach Mansfield’s delight. Joe is leaving Winchester High School with an enviable record in varsity competition. In fact after Prep. School Little Joe intends to become a coach. Con¬ fidentially, Joe is rather clever with the silver-ware es¬ pecially if he is within range of food. Born: Winchester; August 16, 1917. Activities: Varsity Football ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’35; Tennis ’34, Capt. ’35; Treasurer Junior Class; Class Night Committee; Aberjona Staff. Vocational Intentions: Teacher-coach. GERTRUDE LOUISE KELLEY Gertie has proven herself to be a remarkable base¬ ball player, and claims that her only sorrow is the lack of a Big League for girls. A brilliant student of politics she claims that A1 Smith would make an acme President of the United States. But now that she and Huey Long have joined forces, we may look forward to baseball games every afternoon for tired politicians. Born: Winchester; September 11, 1917. Activities: Varsity Baseball ’34, ’35; Class Hockey ’34; Debating Club. Scholastic Intentions: Harvard School of Business. Vocational Intentions: Criminal lawyer.
