ROBERT B. BLACKLER, JR. “BOB” “BUNK” During the week “Bob” may be found hounding the eight-ball, but on the week-ends h-e goes skiing with the “spirits” at Plymouth, N. H. How much skiing is done by Bob is guessed by many, but known only by the spirits themselves.

KATHAR1NE BLAN(T1AR1) “PETIE” Sunny hair and a sunny disposition make a de¬ lightful combination, especially in “Pete”. Come what may, “Pete” always manages to pass it off with that glorious giggle of hers which has endeared her to W. H. S.

RAY.MOXI) A. BKOAVX HAY” At noontimes, Mr. Albro is Ray’s favorite teacher; in study halls, the conference room is his goal. After school, well—and he plays the sax, too. One of the fur-biting Yankee wits has Ray, only one girl in the school being his equal. But yet, under¬ neath this visible veneer, the man has a heart of gold! Born in Winchester, July 3, 1919.

DOROTHY DRUXO “DOT” If she ever had to shout heartily or say some¬ thing fast she would be lost, for somehow her voice just doesn’t do things like that. The only contradic¬ tion to her complete femininity is her strong tennis game, with which she can take over many of the sex which she refuses to imitate, but which she in¬ evitably attracts. Sympathy and goodnaturedness radiate from her and make her the popular girl that she is. Born in Cambridge, Mass., August 19, 1920. Activities: Varsity Tennis ’35, ’36, ’37, Basketball ’36, ’37, J.

DOROTHY VIRGIXIA BUCKLEY “DOT” This lassie is a pianist of no mean ability, and when “Dot” lets loose with her flying fingers, she catches the eye as well as the ear. Whether it is a typewriter or a piano keyboard she is pounding, she pounds it with gusto. Next time you see “Dot” notice her cheery smile and twinkling eyes, framed by those delicately arched eyebrows. She has a yen for Benny Goodman and his swing music, and we hear her ambition is to lead a band like Benny’s. Born in Lynn, Mass., November 13, 1919. Activities: A. A., Vaudeville Show, Chorus.
