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. Sports, modern farming, and tnilitary history particularly in¬ terest Art. After leaving the Navy, which he hopes to entei- in June, he is pointing for Yale. r-.Ieanwhile, he hopes to see a world series in Boston and a re¬ match of Frankenstein and the Wolf Man. SAMUEL BUZZOTTA “Buzz” sparked our class, of which he was President, through its final year with his tremen¬ dous vitality and ability. His patented “Youse Guys” yell and will to win insured the football team of a great season. Sam w as active in the Student Council, the A,A., the Traffic Squad, and as President of Chorus. After go¬ ing to Amherst, he is pointing himself toward a career as a dairy farmer. COAST GUAR9 We read a tale of war and love Or about a murderous pair, An occupation appropriate For Mr. Keeney’s fare. tU. y

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. Our minds with history framed. 11

EWEN CAMERON Ewen lightened the load on many a shoulder by willingly accepting any job turned his way. His English background, his knowledge of military and naval affairs, and his under¬ standing of Anglo-American re¬ lations make him a valuable per¬ son to have around. He found his way into the Dramatic, Camera, Science, and Math Clubs, Vaudeville and Class Plays, Stu¬ dent Council, “Red and Black” and “Aberjona” staffs, while he also ran for the track team. No wonder Ewen would like 36 hours to a day. Ewen heads for the Services, Oxford, and then mountain climbing in the Hima¬ layas. CLARA CAPONE “Clara” is best known as the girl with the sweet smile and winning personality. Her quiet, friendly manner won her many friends at W. H. S. Clara wants to join the ranks of career woman soon and, as she was one of Room 12’s most expert par¬ ticipants, we know she will be successful. CHARLES CAMPBELL “Chuck” gets a big kick out of b.aflling Mr. Keeney with his snappy comebacks. .Just give “Soupy” a car filled with that nonexisting chemical — gas, and he ' ll be riding high, providing no women drivers are in his way. He also enjoys football and tinkering with old automobiles. Chuck’s secret ambition still re¬ mains hidden, even to himself. FLORENCE CAPONE Florence sparkled with vivacity and fun throughout her high school years. She is rarely silent, particularly if there is an oppor¬ tunity to sing, for warbling is her favorite diversion. Dancing, playing the piano, and, of course, listening to the “Voice” are more of her interests. Florence’s num¬ erous friends testify to her suc¬ cess in the future. ELLEN CARLSON “El” assumes a quiet air while she is in. school, but when she gets outside she’s just as fun- loving as the next one. She has been active in Chorus and her in¬ terests include dancing, bowling, roller skating and basketball. Her unusual dislike is talking on the phone. Aftei ' secretarial school, Ellen wants to be a very private secretary! MARJORIE CARSON Marge” displayed her peppy baton twirling in the Vaudeville Shows. She has been an active member of the Athletic Associa¬ tion and basketball squad, while roller skating and drawing take up her spare time. Marge has only one gripe about going to school: she likes to talk when she gets the urge. She announces her desire to be a Cadet Nurse, but is keeping her secret ambi¬ tion a secret. LOIS CARROLL “Lo” symbolizes the expert typist turned out by Misses Ben¬ nett and Bronson. When typing becomes boring, however, she hopes to make several excursions around the world. Many inter¬ ests are Lois’: sports, sketching, writing poetry, hiking (she once walked fifteen miles in an after¬ noon) and writing to the armed forces, a most normal habit for today’s damsel. Her pet peeves are hospitals and people who stare—may she be free of both! VIVIENNE CHAPMAN “Vivi” joined and enthusiasti¬ cally supported many organiza¬ tions, including the Dramatic Club, Chorus, Vaudeville, Or¬ chestra, Science Club, Cum Laude, Art Club, and Homeroom Banking. In her spare time, she enjoys swimming, knitting, sing¬ ing, dancing, and those things in pants. One rarely finds her eating ice cream sandwiches, for she is peeved at the pink filling. Her secret ambition is to im¬ prove her singing at Wellesley so that she will be able to ap¬ pear at the “Met. 13
