MARY MULLEN “Sis” sti’olled into our midst in September, hailing’ from Dan¬ vers. It didn’t take her long’ to get in the stride here at W. H. S., for she proved to be very obliging by assisting in the of¬ fice and lending her voice to the Chorus. Sis also dazzled every¬ one with her fascinating hair styles. Outside of school, she receives much pleasure listening to music, dancing, and driving. In fact, a driver’s license of her own would be the answer to this maiden’s prayer. ELINOR MURPHY “El” skipped merrily through W. H. S. with her happy-go- lucky attitude and her winning smile, A fiend with a basketball, Elinor also brightened up the Vaudeville for four years. Her blond good looks attract and are attracted by the opposite sex. “El” would like to go to West¬ brook Junior College and some day dance with Fred Astaire. THERESA MULHERN “Terry” launched her high school career at W. H. S. last year. Since then, she has blend¬ ed in easily, participating in the Vaudeville for two years, along with other activities. Terry finds time to dance, swim, and go bowling in her spare time. As she does everything with anima¬ tion, she certainly should live up to her red-hair in the busi¬ ness world. KATHRYN MURRAY “Kay” arrested attention with her vivacious manner and smooth appearance. She finds a world of fun in dancing, driving Betty’s car, playing basketball, and the Navy V-l:2 to be exact. Oddly enough, she has a distinct aversion to homework. Here in W. H. S. she gave invaluable aid to Red Cross, Chorus, Class Play Advertising, Dramatic Society, and Vaudeville Shows. Kay hopes to go to college, and it’s a. sure bet that her college life will win her many more friends. To a Freshman we heard a Senior say, “Just wait until you’re older Then you’ll walk into Mr. Graves’s Feeling just a little bolder.”

JOHN MOORE Jack” can be identified as that likeable fellow who is found in a Sea Scout uniform on spe¬ cial occasions. He enjoys night life (how strange!), and must have somewhat of a mechanical nature, for he gets a kick out of playing around with old auto¬ mobiles and taking motors apart. A member of Chorus and the Science Club, Johnnie is very quiet in school, but when out¬ side—-—! Good luck to him when he shoulders a rifle for Uncle Sam! KENNETH MORSE “Ken” dazed the physios class with his knowledge and sent the English classes into convulsions with his wit. His interests in¬ clude anything scientific, photog¬ raphy, and organ music; but medicine is his true goal. No theatrical venture at W. H. S. would be complete without Ken as a member of the stage crew. He served faithfully as a Red and Black reporter, photograph¬ er for the Aberjona, and as the President of the Science Club; while performing with charac¬ teristic thoroughness any other duties that came his way. PRISCILLA MORRILL “Pris” dazed her feliow-stu- dents on the stage with her acting and in the classroom with her wit. Her superb perform¬ ances were acknowledged when she was elected I’resident of the Dramatic Society. What time she found between studying and acting, Pris filled with duties as Treasurer of the Junior Class, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee of S. C., and rnonolo- gist in the Vaudeville. After majoring in dramatics at Car¬ negie Tech. Pris is sure to ful¬ fill her ambition of surpassing Kit Cornell. MARY-ELIZABETH MUELLER “Kippy” breezed her way through high school with her big dimples betraying her fun- loving nature. She worked hard for the Class Play, Science Club, Dramatic Society, and Chorus, where she was persistently called Mary Muller.” Kip loves dogs, horses, skiing, skating and sailing. After she graduates from Bryn Mawr, Kippy wants to sail around the world in a schooner with Betty, Timmy and Nance. Mile. Mackedon was reeling off some French Her students raised their eyes. “Je ne comprends pas, madame, je re- grette.” My, was she surprised! 23

L.IL.OAN MURRAY “LiU upheld the Murray tra¬ dition in athletics and person¬ ality by being a j)opular star in hockey and swimming. She loves all sports, movies, music in the Glen Miller manner, and eating. Though the world is usually bright to her, she does hate to get up on a school morning. Gill IS undecided about her future, but knows that one element in it is a trip on a Merchant Ma¬ rine ship (as a mascot, per¬ haps?) PATRICIA NOEG “Pat” turned all eyes toward herself when she arrived in the middle of her junior year. In her outward appearance, she seems quiet, but actually, she is always full of fun and ready to take a joke. In her leisure time, she likes to swim, ice-skate, play basketball, listen to Artie Shaw, look at Van .Johnson, and write to the Air Corps. No won¬ der she wants to learn to fly! Meanwhile, she will head for the Newton General Hospital. JOSEPH NASH “Shrimp” cut a wide swath with his five-foot one-inch frame in the circles of the senior class. The Chorus and the baseball team were made more potent by his colorful presence. Rowling and billiards form the greater part of his recreational activi¬ ties. but he is patiently waiting for the day when horse-racing comes back to the States. NANCY NUTTER “Nuts” established a grand record for herself with her class¬ mates and with everyone who knows her by her friendliness and cheerfulness. Her reputa¬ tion as one of the busiest and best-liked girls in our class is well deserved. According to “Nan.” the past two years have be en the best, and most of us can guess why! Among her numerous positions are Secretary of junior class. Advertising Chairman for Aberjona, Cheer¬ leader, hockey manager, and member of Aberjona Club. She aims at Colby Junior and oddly enough her future dream is to live in Maine! BOARDMAN O’CONNOR “Boardie” directed most of the lighting and staging effects of all the productions given in the school during the past year. In his junior year, he was in the Class I’lay, and also starred in Dramatic Club presentation. He hopes to enter the Navy, and to continue his interests in dra¬ matics and electrical engineer¬ ing later on. Radio commercials of the current vintage bother “Boardie” the most of anything at the present time. ROGER OGSON “Ollie” drew a large audience of friends who admired his art accomplishments and also his ability in piano playing. Al¬ though quiet in school, his ener¬ gies rise up and overflow with music. fishing, hunting, and movie-going when school is over. When the School of Practical Art welcomes Roger next Fall, it will receive a promising stu¬ dent, and at the same time it will be aiding Ollie in realizing hi.s ambition of becoming a well-known artist. MARIE O’GEARY Marie chattered brightly through the years and kept us laughing with her witty re¬ marks. About the only time her cute dimples and bright eyes don’t shine is when she has to get up in the morning. Her eyes are pretty keen when it comes to bowling, however! We’re con¬ fident that Marie will be on the job and rarin’ to go on the dot of 9 A. M. when she becomes a secretary. DOROTHY O’MEGIA “Dottie” talked at a rate that was astonishing for such a small, happy-go-lucky girl. She hated homework and was al¬ ways ready to get out of the homeroom period to go to Chor¬ us. Tuesday mornings found her acting as a homeroom banker, and she spent her spare time dancing, skating and bowling. In preparation for her ambition to become a private secretary, she is headed for Bryant and Stratton. WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY WINCHESTER, MASS.
