CAtHERINE DATTILO “Kay” holds a grudge against schools that fail to blow the no-school whistle, but for four years she has struggled to keep this peeve to herself. Chorus and Library Club fill the time that Kay has after she finishes eating, dancing, and enjoying the movies. Mary and she have a desire to drive to California. NATALIE DICKSON “Nat” bounded through her four years at W. H. S. with an ever ready smile and an amazing store of energy. Her talent found expression in the Dra¬ matic Club, Vaudeville and Class Play, and the rest of her time was filled with drawing and working on the “Aberjona” and “Red and Black.” Her fine per¬ formances, excellent spirit, and great leadership ability on the basketball and hockey squads won her the coveted Wheeler Cup. “Dickie” should be a great asset at Radcliffe with her bub¬ bling personality and her deep sincerity. ANN DE FILIPPO “Flip” kept her classmates laughing with her incomparable gaiety and her witty remarks. In her leisure moments, she di¬ vided her attention between dancing and flirting. “Flip” strongly contended that all work and no play make a dull day, so she mixed in a litte fun with her secretarial work. All Ann’s happiness will be complete if she can be a perfect wife. BETTY DOLLOFF “Red” prefers to be called a “titian blond,” but the former name seems to match her per¬ sonality better. Vivacious, happy and willing to work (as she proved by typing faithfully for the “Aberjona” and the Library Club), Bet always provided that extra spark at the right moment. She played hocked, danced in the Vaudeville, sang in Chorus, and was a member of the Cum Laude Society; but her real ambition it to drive to California in a blue convertible. Perhaps, if she be¬ comes the medical secretary she expects to be, she’ll And a doctor to take her. We work among the test tubes, Amid the clamps and flasks, And often fail to do Just what Doc Alley asks. 15

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

I ' AUIvlNE DONAHUE “Polly” possesses an inimit¬ able giggle that made us all laugh whenever we heard it. She encircled her activities by singing foi ' Chorus, acting for the Dramatic Society, represent¬ ing the Red Cross, and playing in the Vaudeville. Tennis, bad¬ minton, skating, dancing, and music the “Crosby Way keep her busy outside school. After college, Polly wants to own and fly a helicopter. JANE DUPPETT Janie is a lovable gal with a bubbling sense of humoi ' . One Senior who is never ' I ' eally seri¬ ous. Duff bi ' ightens up hockey and basketball, Vaudeville, “ad” seeking for the “Aberjona,” and all her classes with her infec¬ tious giggle. Jane has an air- of deviltry and fun which should take her far- after her gradua¬ tion from Bouve. Janie’s secret ambition to swim at Deal, Eng¬ land, will come true—that is, if we know Prankie. RITA DOUCETTE “Smiles” couldn’t possess a more suitable irickname, for she always broke the chill in the dim corridors of W. H. S. with her warm, pleasant grin. “Butch” was voted tops when it came to French, taut she finds much more enjoyment in bowling, dancing, roller-skating, and keeping up the morale of the Navy with her frequent letters. In fact, the Navy holds such a high place in Rita’s life that she hopes “to be a certain sailor’s wife.” DONALD ELLIS “Don” merited for ' himself the title, “Mr. Hockey of W. H. S.” His natural ability for hockey is proved by the fact that he climaxed two years of brilliant playing by becoming captain of the team his senior year. Al¬ though definitely the strong, si¬ lent type, Don really takes a hand in cheering for the Bruins, all except Pat Egan. Don heads for an agricultural college after graduation, and, for his sake, we hope it’s in the cold North.
