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

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.

OATHKRINK FOREY “Kay” stood up adniii ' ably iin- dei ' the freqiient reniai ' ks about lier tieight, and always nuinag:ed to have a giin and a stiappy comeback ready. Under her pen, the girls’ sport.s enthusiasts were always sure of superb write-ups, both in the Heel aiul lilaok and the AI eriona, “Kathy” proved a mighty miniature with her work on the Class Flay Com¬ mittee, Vaudeville, field hockey. Student Council, and Chorus. While Kay is in college, she hopes she will be able to grow another inch. BARBARA GALUCIA “Peanuts” started I ' ight in when she arrived as a fresh¬ man to make this school a better place. She has an undying in¬ terest in music and, as a result. Chorus has claimed most of her time and energy. Barb loves all sports. She also likes people, and has an intense interest in nursing. Barb, like most people, would like to see what the rest of the world is like. NANCY FORD “Nan” combined executive ability with a sweet, unruffled disposition which was hai ' d to parallel. In her two years at W. II. S.. she was a member of the Science Club and Dramatic Gluijs, served on the Class Play and Vaudeville Ticket Commit¬ tees, and was the hard-working Service Editor of the Ked siiid [flaok. Next year should find her majoring in dietetics at Massachusetts State College. Nan’s deep-hearted sincerity makes her a friend well worth claiming as yours. CAROLYN GARDNER “Cal” boomeranged into our midst at the beginning of our senior year. Her dynamic com¬ bination of the sweet and so¬ phisticate soon had the boys at her beck and call. Cal’s spare time is spent sailing, dancing, and collecting Bunny Berrigan records. Only she and a few old salts know what her secret am¬ bition connected with a sailboat is, but we all know that Lasalle should be a better college for her presence next year. BARBARA GAY “Barbi” kept a constant stream of giggles handy to prove that life to hei ' is always sunny. She enthusiastically cheei-ed the teams on to victory for three years, as well as taking paid in Chorus, Red Cross, and widting for the Aberjona. Barb was seen more often than not with that tall, suave senior who might be the cause of her desiie (o stretch four years into one hun¬ dred. RONALD HAMANN “Ronnie” voyaged to us from New York, and has made Win¬ chester High School better since his entrance. He has an eye (in fact, two) foi ' the fairer sex, and also is interested in sailing, bowling, and baseball. Ronnie chooses the Merchant Marine as his immediate profession, but would like to follow that up as a private detective. He has a good case; go to it, Ronnie! MARY HAGGERTY Mary twirled her way into prominence b.v her excellent per¬ formances in the Vaudeville. She is quiet and unassuming, but was eagerly welcomed by the Cum Laude Society, Chorus, Library Club, and the basketball team. She has aspirations to go to Boston College in town .ind, even though there are cold win¬ ters here, we’re afraid she’ll have to go to Switzerland to till her dream of skiing down the Alps. JAMES HANNON “Red” brightened VV. H. S. in more ways than one. Since he is such an easy-going, laug’n- providing ' fellow, it can readily be understood why he is so well liked. Red has played football, basketball and baseball undei ' Henry Knowlton: but baseball is his favorite, and he hopes to pitch for the Chicago White Sox some day. Red goes for out-of- town girls in a big way: his pet peeve is the temperature of the Winchester girls. 18
