P.ETTV ANN liUDI) “BETTE” Betty Ann is known by her laughing brown eyes and her tumbling waves of black hair. Some friends say she is dreamy, but to all outward ap¬ pearances, she seems quite the contrary. The only dream we know of is a dream which we hope will become a reality, that of singing over the radio. You may hear her golden voice coming through the air in the future. It’s a worthy ambition, Betty. Born in Lowell, Mass., November 4, 1920. Activities: Dramatic Society, French Club, A. A. Hobbies: Ping Pong, Clothes. Scholastic Intentions: Undecided. Ambition: Sing a jazz song with Jack Benny and his violin. ALINE VIKGINIA BURSLEY Although this golden-haired bit of femininity seems shy and quiet, there are times when she pours out a stream of interesting talk on the most unusual subject, her feelings often portrayed by tk-e quickly changing expressions that pass over her face. Such puzzled ones in History, Aline! She is a combina¬ tion of many types, funny, but always friendly. Don’t forget, Aline, the expression is “pleasingly plump.” Born in Melrose, Mass., January 5, 1920. Activities: Dramatic Society, A. A., French Club. Hobbies: Ping-Pong, Skiing. Scholastic Intentions: Colby Junior College. Ambition: Doctor’s secretary. FRED .MILLER CAMERON, JR. We don’t know what is behind those dark eyes, that serious face, we can’t even guess. It’s a con¬ glomeration of many things. Let’s look closer, is that the image of a runner, a Harvard graduate, a world-wanderer? Only time can tell concerning the latter two, and in fifteen years it will probably tell plenty. To some, Fred is an enigma, but to others he’s “tops”. Born in Lowell, Mass., December 29, 1920. Activities: Dramatic Society, Cross Country, Cum Laude, Track. Hobbies: Singing “I Love Life”. Scholastic Intentions: Alcatraz. Ambition: To sing low “C”.

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.

Scholastic Intentions: Prep-School and Bowdoin. Ambition: To Benny Good-man. 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.

Scholastic Intentions: Tech—Some Day. Ambition: To talk fast. 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.

.AIARY CA: IILLA CAPONE Mary is the very spirit of good-naturedness Every morning she has a cheery greeting for her friends. She’s always ready to do anything, es¬ pecially if it’s a social function. She calls a good many of her friends by the nick name of “Cutie”, but we wonder if she really means it! She doesn’t want it noised about, but her own sobriquet is “Babe”. Born in Winchester, Mass., January 24, 1920. Activities: A. A., Chorus. Hobbies: Movies, Swing Music, Swimming. Scholastic Intentions: Undecided. Ambition: Take life easy. PAUL HENRY CAPONE “PECK” “Peck” takes a great deal of good-natured chaf¬ ing about his nose, but he manages to keep bis temper within bounds, with a few exceptions. We’i ' e not stating that Paul is addicted to mountain climb¬ ing, but he has been seen constantly toiling up one of the highest hills in town. Despite “Peck’s” some¬ what boisterous mannerisms, we pronounce him as “a bit all right.” Born in Winchester, Mass., July 26, 1917. Activities: Football ’36, Hockey ’35, ’36, Chorus ’32, ’33, A.
