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. Classes under Hank Butters eyes Proceed with common calculations, As we discuss fractions and formulae And spherical relations.

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

MICHAEL, ELWELTj “M ilvC ' ” charts his course in life around boats — sailing , de- liig ' ning ' , or buildinf them. His well-known ambition, after at¬ tending- the Maritime Academy, is to sail his personally-desigiied schooner around the world. Mike ' s quiet personality is dis¬ played by his interest in good music (not jazz), reading, draw¬ ing, and painting. JOSEPH EURICO “Joe” blasted his way to the top with his quickness and ener¬ gy. The basketball team met a successful season under his leadership, and the football team also felt his help. His imme¬ diate aim is the U. S. Navy, and afterwards comes college. A cer¬ tain blond woman has lately come into his view and, with her and sports, plus his being a rep¬ resentative in the A. A. and Treasurer of the Student Coun¬ cil, Joe has a pretty full life. CHRISTINA ERICSON “Stina possessed the knack of being tard.v evei-y da.v without being assigned to a seventh jicriod. The catch was that sh( connnuted on the school bus. In tbe classroom, Stina was a shy, quiet girl, who was always will¬ ing to contribute to various school drives. After 2;15, how¬ ever, she joined her friends in noisy repartee. Stina wishes to develop her interest in cooking by studying at Simmons to be¬ come a dietitian. FRANK PA I ETA Frankie” really swept up the fudd on end-around runs during the football season. One hun¬ dred eighty pounds of real brawn, he bears no resemblance at all to tbe original “Frankie” bo.v. However, women-folk seem to fall for him in the same way. Frank has been in Chorus for two years, strengthening up his vocal chords for service in the Navy. After graduating from the Armed Services, Frankie would like to play college or “pro” football. THERESA FAIETA “Terry” stopped us cold -vvith her jet-black hair, perfect feat¬ ures, and shining personality. The smooth, colorful sweaters she made were showed to ad¬ vantage by her neat figure. Un¬ der Terry’s presidency, the Li¬ brary Club gained considerable importance. She danced through the Vaudeville and took in a great deal of money during her banking years. Whether its dancing, knitting, or eating, Terry loves to do it. MARIE FITZPATRICK Marie radiated her gaiety upon both the students and teachers during her four fun-loving years at W. H. S. In her methodical manner, she did a praiseworthy job in keeping the financial ac¬ counts of the Red und lllack and Alierjunu, and she also kept things humming in Class Play Committees, Chorus, Dramatic Society, Science Club and Vaude¬ ville. With her collection of Doc’s numerous achievements, Marie may some day pleasantly surprise us with his biography. However, she first longs to make her dreams come true in South America. PAULINE FERRO “Pollie” tread quiet water’s, but always I’einained very much on top. Her- singing was gre.’itly appi-eciated in several Vaude¬ ville Shows, as was also he:’ work as manager of field hockey and Red Cross representative. Her favorite enthusiasms are horseback riding, tennis, sleep¬ ing, and doctors. Evidently her bashfulness is not quite so over¬ powering outside school. We hope she meets none of her hated “catty people” at Burdett’s. BARBARA FOLEY “Barb” zipped through her- four’ years of high school, taking time out to fill her post well as Vice-President and an executive board member’ of the Red Cross. Barb’s keen sense of humor, sin¬ cerity, and fr’iendliness toward all won her’ a position on the Advisory Board. She also busied herself on the field hockey squad, the Hetl anil Uliick and .4l»erj«iiii staffs, and Class Play Committees. After graduation. Barb hopes to enter the halls of Middlebury and, with all these good qualities, she can not help but be a bang-up success ther-e. 17
