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

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

MARILYN CHEPALO “Cheffie” dressed up our class with her beautiful white teeth accentuated by her contagious smile. Gifted with a sense of humor, she is the type of person who enjoys living herself and makes living a pleasure for all around her. “Mai” has taken an active part in Red Cross, Dra¬ matics, and has added vitality to the Vaudeville Show. She loves to dance (with Roy) and, after achieving fame as a model, wants to go to California with Jean. MARIE CIARCIA “Chickie” pursued the peaceful path through school life. Her interests centered around clothes, both designing and making them. In fact, she hopes to find her future work in this field. People who brag about themselves or laugh at others naturally annoy her, as she is quiet and serious herself. DAVID CHIPMAN “Mickey” frightened us all from time to time with his super inventions and colossal discov- ei ' ies, for he is another of the .scientifically-minded lads at W. H. S., preparing himself for M. I. T. Dave■ belonged to both the Math and Science Clubs, being on the e.xecutive board of the latter. Science, photography, and a cer¬ tain car took up most of his overtime. Mickey hopes that Mr. Keeney one day will call him by his given name, but this event would not be as joyous to him as the abolishment of Mr. D. S. M. Saville Muzzey, a man well- known to all history students. RICHARD COLLINS “Dit” promised a laugh where- ever he went and thus became one of the most likeable boys in the class. Very easy-going and with an excellent sense of humor, he is quite a comedian. Dit ac¬ quired his nickname from his Bruin’s idol, Mr. Clapper. He was a star forward on the hockey team and, as you v ould naturally expect, hockey is his main interest. He plans to go to Northeastern after the war. MARY JEAN CONLEY “Irish” catches her friends with a sparkling wit and merry laugh which occasionally beams through her quiet nature. Chorus has. occupied her time on Thurs¬ days for several years, and she typed almost impossible amounts of manuscripts for the “Aber- jona.” Dancing, sports, and writing long letters occupies her leisure time now, but she hopes someday to pilot her own plane. Mary Jean should make an ideal Cadet Nurse. WARREN CONNOR “Scotty” showed his enje yment of life with a wide grin and a deep laugh. Sparking new life into a hockey team in his junior- year was a real achievement, and he followed this up by serving as Sports Editor of the “Abei-- jona,” Treasurer of the Class, banker, and member of the Traffic Squad, Math Club, and Science Club. He enjoyed Mr. Keeney’s English classes, and he makes his way well among women. Scot would like to play for the Olympics and, in his spare time, be a chemical en¬ gineer. BETTY ANN CONNOR Betty, happy and sparkling, fulfills every girl’s ambition to excel in all things. She edited the “Red and Black” and the “Aberjona,” starred in basket¬ ball, Vaudeville. Science Club, Student Council, and Red Cross, while still picking up honor marks for her three years at W. H. S. As a result, teachers and students elected her D. A. R. Betty is headed for Manhattan- ville College where she most cer¬ tainly will continue on her ver¬ satile career as a leader of stu¬ dents. ANN DALTON “Dolly” buzzed around the halls and kept us entertained with her flair for talking. She excels in eating, but she also enjoys roller-skating and ice- skating, dancing, and sleeping. As a result of hard work, Ann became a member of the Cum Laude Society, and helped the Library Club have a successful year. After competing Kathleen Dell school, Ann steers toward the Navy to be its Secretary. 14
