ELliKIDfJE G. DAVIS “K(3I KBERT” When “Eglebert” enters, he invariably makes his presence felt. His exits are equally dramatic; for instance, his walking out of Miss Mackedon’s room with a cigar in his mouth. His intelligence is astonishing both- consideiing and not considering his lack of application. He’s the lad who may be seen ringing Mr. Keeney’s doorbell at 11:59 P. M. the linal day of the ranking period, with his back work under his arm. But he comes through, and that’s what counts. Born in Cambridge, Mass., July 16, 1919.

Ambition: To be able to kiss her without drooling. FRANK DeMTNICO “Better late than never” must be Frank’s motto. Whether it’s graduation, studies, or sports, he gets tirere sooner or later; and there are other examples too. “Stutz” likes the winter season, when hockey is in order, and he can be seen either at Long or at Winter Ponds. RepoiTs have it that he is not adverse to doing a little night skating also. Activities: Intramural Basketball, Baseball, Foot¬ ball. Hobbies: Bowling, Swimming, Hockey. Scholastic Intentions: Notre Dame. Ambition: To be a winner of the Indianapolis 500- mile automobile race. ROBERT LAWRENCE DONAGTIEY “lUESTY” “BROTHER” “Rusty” goes in for all things athletic in a great big way, featuring prominently in football, base¬ ball, and basketball. However, ’tis that “Rusty’s” particular love is baseball, and being a catcher, he picks the men off the bases as adeptly as he picked Jean. He also is a prominent member of the “Mil¬ lionaires,” Winchester’s contribution to minor- league baseball. Born in Winchester, Mass., December 29, 1918.

DAXLEL EDWARJ) COSS “SLICKER” Slicker has been in the limeligk-t ever since he entered high school. He has starred in football, baseball, and basketball, and also he is an adept participant in the arts of swimming and diving.

FRANCES ANNE DONAHUE Frances is the girl well remembered in Mr. Albro’s Latin Class. The past tense is used because one day in the sight translation, a very gruesome passage was reached. The next day, when the pas¬ sage was repeated, Frances was missing; she bad left the class. But you mustn’t judge Frances by this. Before she left Malden, she was elected editor- in-chief of the school magazine, a coveted position. It might be added that Frances is still very loyal to Malden. Born in Malden, Mass., January 17, 1919. Ambition: Fashion, stage design. MARIE ADELAIDE DONAHUE Marie has not been very active, but we found that she would have been treasurer of her class if she had remained in Malden for her senior year. But to see Marie at her best, it is necessary to observe her playing basketball in the gym. She usually plays guard, and if you lay your hands on the ball, you must be the forward she isn’t guarding. We only wish we could have had her for all four years. Born in Malden, Mass., March 24, 1920. Ambition: Dietitian. JOHN HENRY DOWNS “J. HENRY” “J. Henry” has wielded the proberbial “big stick in high school affairs since his advent into this venerable institution. “Downce,” as J. Keeney will have it, is a familiar sight in the auditorium, corridors, conference room, and Manchester Field. It may seem foreign to relate that “J. Henry” has time for other interests, but time he has, and, girls, you should see him swing it. A worthy ambition for all members of the class of ’37 might be set forth in one phrase: “To catch up with J. Henry Downs.” Born in Arlington, Mass., November 12, 1919. Activities: Track ’36, Captain ’37, Mansfield Cup, Editor-in-chief of Aberjona, Class President ’33, President of Thrift Association, President of Red Cross ’36, Business Manager of High¬ lights. Hobbies: Dancing, Skiing, Hiking. Scholastic Intentions: Bowdoin. Ambition: The same as Dot Fitts’.
