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.

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.

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.

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.

PHILIPPA COOMBS KELLEY Phil swings a wicked tennis racket for the tennis team, but otherwise she’s more or less harmless. She doesn t plan to be a second Helen Jacobs, however, for she writes she would like “to get into a field not yet inhabited.

S., she determined that this batch should be especially good. She took two heaping cups of ingenuity and into this creamed some imagination. Then she added a goodly portion of understanding mixed with versatility. She stirred it well and put it in the oven.
