CATHERINE BIGGS Kit” convinced us. by means of a startling- vocabulary and an unusual ability to hold one’s in¬ terest, that she -will succeed in her ambition to write The Great American Novel. Scientifically- minded, she is a member of the Math and Science Clubs, while basketball, horseback-riding, and swimming are her favorite sports. Her witty remarks con¬ cerning her unique position as the only girl taking Math Gam¬ ma, provided us with many laughs. JEAN BRADLEE “Beanie” calmed many a per¬ turbed basketball player physi¬ cally and mentally with her shy twinkle and soft voice. She per¬ formed her duties as manager of the team so expertly that she be¬ came Mrs. Matthews’ right-hand man. Beanie has many inter¬ ests: farming, dancing, skating, dogs, and books; and but one Waterloo: darning socks! She plans a career of nursing and ' hopes to enter Massachusetts General next fall, where her quiet composure should be greatly appreciated. MICHAEL. BOODAKIAN “Mike” bluffed his way out of many unusual situations while a member of the class of ’45. His pet peeve is echoed by almost every student, namely, four o’clock detentions. Greek” is honored for his classical wit and for his arguments with Doc Alley, one of which he hopes to win someday. At the present time the U. S. Army is extending its invitation to Mike. ANTHONY BUCCI Tony” slayed both deer and dears, one with his trusty rifle, the other with his undeflnable charm. A bulwark of the foot¬ ball team for three years, he also starred as a catcher on the base¬ ball squad and as a guard on the basketball team. As a result, Tony was awarded the Mansfield Cup for 1944. Though seemingly quiet and modest, he holds such powerful opinions on some sub¬ jects that his presence was felt by us, and especially by the Chorus, at all times. After leav¬ ing the Navy, Tony hopes to go to college and star on the grid¬ iron. T’was raw, and chill, and cold outside With a boisterous wind untamed. But we were sitting snug within.

KEVIN BURKE “Bud” assured his friends and classmates of plenty of fun when he was nearby, for his dry wit and carefree attitude neve)- failed hini. When the Coast Guard called in January, we lost a strong- voice from the Chorus and a great star from the track team. The townspeople still drink milkshakes, but without the friendly flavor Bud always added. JEANNE BURTNETT Stinky” wowed us with her laven hair and flirtatious eyes. A glamour girl one day and a happy-go-lucky slackster the next, she was equally unpredict¬ able in disposition. The success of the Vaudeville for the past two years would have been sadly diminished without Jeanne’s ac¬ cordion playing. Although sports and dancing now fascinate her, she hopes to enter the field of art after graduation. ARTHUR BURROWS “Ai-t” guaided the goal foi- the W. H. S. hockey team for two years and also played baseball. His good looks and even temp¬ erament won him a high place in the hearts of his classmates.
