WILLIAM J. CROUGHWELL, JR. “BILL” Locker room gossip has it that “W. J.” thought¬ fully allows “Lad” Millican to come in second and “Willie the Wolf” Kielhorn third, as regards sailing on Mystic Lake. No doubt Kielhorn will contest the assertion. It looks as if “Bill” had spread a little too much of his customary hyperbole for the school to swallow. However, except for “Bill’s” occasional exaggeration, we can’t think of another single fault of his. Our fingers are crossed. Born in West Medford, Mass., April 5, 1920. Activities: Traffic ’36, ’37, ’38; Football Manager ’37; Ski Club. Hobbies: Sailing, Skiing. Ambition: To sail a small boat around the world. Scholastic Intentions: Prep School. Weight: 150 lbs.; Height: 5 ft., 7 1-2 in. SYLVIA HELEN D’AMBROSIO “SYL” Sylvia is the little girl with the big eyes—and how useful they are! Sometimes they shine with satisfaction. Other times they gleam with enthus¬ iasm. But most of the time they just sparkle with happiness. For Sylvia is the happiest person we know. Movies are her passion. She is a fine stu¬ dent, a great reader and a true friend. Born in Winchester, Mass., March 27, 1921. Activities: Chorus ’35; Dramatic Society ’35; French Club ’38. Hobbies: Sleeping, Movies, Cross Word Puzzles. Ambition: To be a graduate nurse. Scholastic Intentions: P. G. Course. BRADFORD DARLING “BRAD” “DARLING” “.SLATS” One would think that Brad would have to be about five capable people to accomplish all the things he does. If he isn’t in the Chemistry Lab¬ oratory after school, you may find him out on Manchester Field flying around the track, or out on the cross country route, breezing along at a merry clip; but if you still can’t find him, you’d better give it up because he has so many different interests which take up his time, you just wouldn’t know where to start looking!

ROBERT V. CLIFFORD “BOB” “CLIFFIE” “Cl if fie” is undoubtedly the best liked boy in Room 12 by Miss Allison because of his quiet re¬ serve and willingness to obey her to a T. (?). Besides being Room 12’s fair haired youth, “Cliffie” seems to dislike travel—indeed his affinity for Lloyd Street’s fairer sex and his occasional stag parties are well-known. Born in Fitchburg, Mass., April 2, 1919. Activities: Current Events Club ’38; Ski Club, ’37, ’38; Science Club ’38. Hobbies: Skiing, Driving. Croquet, Ping Pong. Ambition: To hit a new high. Scholastic Intentions: Boston University School of Business Administration. Weight: 124 lbs.; Height: 5 ft., 7 in. JOHN M. COLGATE “JOBNO” “PORKY” “Jonathan” Colgate is of the silent, handsome type who comes across with the goods when they’re needed. He is a connoisseur of the fairer sex, and can be consulted at any time on the subject. John is a whiz at hockey, almost always making a goal once a year. Born in Woburn, Mass., July 4, 1920. Activities: Chorus ’36, ’37; Class Hockey ’37. Hobbies: Driving, Skating, and Generally Enjoying Myself. Ambition: To live, love, and learn. Scholastic Intentions: Study Diesel Engineering. PRISCILLA HAMILTON CORNWALL “RONNY” “T. T. T.” Priscilla seems to be one of the shy girls in school, but outside it’s a different story. She rep¬ resents a rare type in 1937—a quiet, modest, young lady with equal parts of sweetness and spirit. In a few more years when an aristocratic French poodle walks down the street, we shall be convinced that “T. T. T.” has achieved her ambitions. Born in Boston, Mass., November 4, 1920. Activities: A. A. ’35, ’36, 37, ’38: French Club ’36, ’37; Thrift Association ’35, ’36; Dramatic So¬ ciety ’35, ’36, ’37, ’38. Hobbies: Dogs, Horses, and Clothes. Ambition: To own a French Poodle.

DANTEL FREDERICK DELOREY “DAN” “DANNY” We don’t know whether to call “Dan” a traitor to our fair village or an efficient press agent. He admittedly explores in Woburn in pursuit of the elusive “she”; yet, when the pursuer is the Presi¬ dent of the Senior Class, and a power of the foot¬ ball team, maybe we should let him off easy. Born in Medford, Mass., January 24, 1921. Activities: Varsity Football ’35, ’36, ’37; President of Senior Class of 1938. Hobbies: Football, Baseball. Ambition: To travel. Intentions for next year: Work and go to school. Weight: 190 lbs.; Height: 6 ft. ROCCO DeTESO ROCKY” Z-i-i-i-iip! Don’t be alarmed; that’s just ' Rocco DeTeso going by. “Rocky” always appears busy, but even so he manages to take enough time off to keep up his wide circle of friendships. He stars in track and cross country, but he is versatilely apt in many other things from science to the drama. Born in Italy, August 16, 1920. Activities: Varsity Track ’37, ’38; Varsity Cross Country ’37, ’38; Class Basketball ’38; Science Club ’38; Vaudeville Show ’37, ’38; Chorus. Hobbies: Insect Collecting, Swimming, Basketball, Hiking.

MILDRED MARY DINEEN “MILLIE” The prosperity of the Bus Transportation Com¬ panies seems to be coming back since Millie has been taking frequent trips in town to see Georgie. Whether it be going- in town, trucking, square-dan¬ cing, or riding in the rumble seat, Millie is right there with bells on. She has a high rating in her studies, is a good sport, and her ambition will reach her goal. Born in Winchester, Mass., March 2, 1921.
