Glass of 1937 iMAHdARl yr I.OKISE AWUh: “MAIIGIK Tall, poised, and dignified with a charming- man¬ ner, Margie has won many friends in the short time she has been in Winchester. She is taking- lessons in singing, and who knows but what some day she will be a famous opera star. Swimming- and dancing, particularly, are the “weaknesses” in which she in¬ dulges a great deal. Born in Cambridge, May 30, 1921. Activities: Chorus, French Club, Traffic. Hobbies: Music, Stamps, Water Sports, Dancing. Scholastic Intentions: Wellesley in 1938; P. G. in ’37. Ambition: Go on one of Beebe’s expeditions, and live to see the turn of the century. WARD ALLEN ALLRO To Ward, every knock is a boost. His outstand¬ ing qualities are stamina and steadfastness of char¬ acter. Ward is the lucky owner of an orderly and resourceful mind and these qualities are shown to an advantage in his scientific work, in which he is extremely proficient. Ward’s impromptu remarks in French have made him the darling (?) of the class. For confirmation of this, see Miss Mackedon. Re¬ gardless, Ward is sympathetic, trustworthy, and loyal to any trust confided in him. Born in South Royalton, Vermont, July 4, 1919. Activities: Cross Country, Gym Team, Science Club, French Club, Dramatic Society, Red Cross, Thrift Club, Year Book Advertising- Staff. Hobbies: Magic, Model Boat Building, Dissection.

She can say a lot in a few words, and is a rare package of shyness. To us, she is noted for a pleasing per¬ sonality, a willingness to oblige, and a winning smile. Phyl has high ambitions and if we know her, they will be carried out to the letter. Hobbies: Reading, Sewing and “I really have some dramatic ability.” Scholastic Intentions: Night School in Shorthand and Typing. Ambition: I would like to tour the United States.

IMr. John D. Rtevenr. Friendly, hard-workin , IMr. Stevens has cer¬ tainly made a name for himself in the Winchester IIi»ii School. Supervisor of the news i)aj ' c of the “ IIi”hli ihts, ” Boys’ Ski Club Director, and Junior Fn ' lish teacher are a few of the many activities in which he is interested. We also leaiaual that .shooting’ ami feuciug are among his favorite si)orts. IbJievi ' it or not, JMr. Stevens rises at 6 aU) on school mornings and is never lat( to scliool ! All in all, lie is an all-round, all-right faculty member. i lR. J. Albert Wilson. J. Albert Wilson of West Medford has been for the past four years the director of the W. II. S. chorus. Numbered in his musical positions are those of C’ongregational (’hnrch organist and choirmaster, and Winchester (Jioi’al Society director. A further interest in the P ine Arts is his love for jiainting in which he indulges in all year round. A vacation home on Cajie (’od furnishes him with summer scenes, while week-ends see him in Maine in the winter, where snow panoramas take his fancy. lie has become quite pro¬ ficient in oils and has done some exhibitions in a Cape Cod barn which serves as his art gallery. Travel is another of his hobbies, but it is hoped that this desire will be restrained in future school terms so that he maj continue his splendid work with the glee club. IMiss Kosamond Young is the petite bit of sunny efficiency who adds so much to our “choice” faculty. The gym classes are something definitely not to be missed, and the girls’ varsity teams are noted for their fair ])lay and “winability. ” And then, of course, who of ns could ever forget the breath- la k ' ing stage debut made in the team of Bartlett and Young.

HALFORD HENDERSON AHR,LER “HAl ’ Hal fold is an ambitious young salesman, his main line of business being window-wash and neon signs. He’s not a shirker and always does his home¬ work, even if it is at dawn in chorus.

She can be unexpect- ingly witty, with a passion to be stuibbornly lazy. Art and Maine are her strongest outside attractions. Her drawings show promise of outdoing Petty. We shall always be curious to find out what would happen to Ella’s enviable figure if she really stayed on one of the ever-threatening diets. Born in Winchester, Mass., April 12, 1920.
