LETTERIA POST “Postie” went through Win- eliester High brightening all her classes with her keen sense of humor. She loves sports and her pet peeve centers around those who can’t take a joke. “Sis” longs to marry a millionaire, but has ample talent in cooking and sewing, just in case! ROBERT QUINE “Bob’’ whipped through school with a disposition and grin that are hard to beat. He was the good-humor man of W. H. S. Bob worked efficiently on the A. A. Executive Board and Ad¬ visory Board, and excelled in football and track. He regular¬ ly trod the beaten path to North Gateway, where his main inter¬ est lies, and some day he would like to find a short-cut. ROBERT PURINGTON ‘I’erry” could often be seen lown at the post olHce after school tossing letters around with agility, and hence was known as the unofficial postmas¬ ter of W. H. S. However, he may soon be forced to give up his duties since the Navy wants him. Bob hopes to train as a pilot and, in preparation for this, has been studying up on airplanes. Women also take up a lot of his time, but he feels that stuck-up ones are merely a waste of time. NANCY READ “Nance” gracefully lent her talents to all the inglorious but important jobs that came her way. Her activities have cen¬ tered around the Science Club, Dramatic Club, Class I’lay Com¬ mittees, Vaudeville, Aberjona, Red and Itlaek, and Chorus. Whenever there is good ice, you will find Nance spinning around. She always enjoys skiing, swim¬ ming, sailing, and California. Her ambition is to sail around the world in a schooner with Betty, Timmy, and Kippy. A sober student from the Junior High Stopped three of us one day, “Tell me just what High is like?” “You’ll see,” was all that we could say. 27

JANE RUSSELL Janie” whirled her way t.hroiiK ' h hlKh school, maintaining a lively interest in everything that came her way. Many activi¬ ties, such as the A. A. Board, Thrift Association, I’rorn Com¬ mittee, Chorus, and the Canteen Committee, found hei- useful Russ” also acted as oui ' peppy Cheerleader Captain and was an important cog in the girls’ hockey and basketball teams. To complete this happy picture, she skiis. skates, tap dances, and performs acrobatics, her am¬ bition being to go a whole month without getting bruised. BETTY RUTHERFORD Betty scared us all vvnth her reckless driving during her last years at W. H. S., but that little blue Ford certainly got her places! Her sparkling eyes and engaging smile helped make her well-liked around school. Her activities include Red Cross, Vaudeville, and basketball. She hopes to fly through the air as an airilne hostess some day. LUCY RUSLO Lou” brightened the halls of W. H. S. with a sweet smile and a contagious good nature. She captained a successful hockey squad, and aroused much gaiety with her clever impersonations, which possessed both an Irish and Italian touch. By re-enact¬ ing her locker-room antics in Vaudeville, many others could enjoy a good laugh. Lou’s sparkling personality won her a place in various school activities of which the Student Council was her most prominent. Via the Cadet Nurse Corps, Lucy will certainly prove to be a mighty miniature in the nursing field. SHIRLEY SALYER Sherry” knocked us out with her beautiful hair and sweet disposition. Skiing, dancing and esi)ecially dramatics interest this attractive lass, as shown by her active participation in the Dra¬ matic Society and Vaudeville Shows. Dramatic School and the stage are her future dreams, with time taken out for a visit to China and the Far East via the sea route, naturally — Navy take notice! ALEXANDER SAMOILOFF Murph” flashed like a multi¬ colored comet in the serene classrooms of W. H. S. His col¬ orful costumes made him the center of attraction of the stu¬ dent body, who also enjoyed his practical jokes and witty re¬ marks. Al” was the life of the football and baseball second teams for two seasons, and these sports, together with bowling and women, filled up most of his time. However, he hopes some¬ day to find time to pass a liis- tory test. DALE SHERBURNE Nappie” trod along a quiet track, but did so in a likeable manner. His time is not entirely devoted to being quiet, however, for he loves to discuss politics, baseball, and the Boston Bruins. Dale gave his all to the Red Cross and track. He would like to see the Red Sox win the fiag; the Bruins, the cup; and the Republicans, the next Presi¬ dential election. After a date with the Army, Dale wants to make a career of plastics. BOB SHARON Ape” drifted around the cor¬ ridors between periods with an eye constantly on the lookout for any of the opposite se.x. His nonchalant manner made him impossible to dislike. Bob could usually be seen shooting around in a delivery truck, displaying his great ability as a cowboy. The time left was spent as a cinder runner and as a star in intramural basketball. Bob’s se¬ cret dream will be realized when he takes over P. R.’s job. CHARLES SLACK Charlie” flashed his blue eyes in all directions as he breezed along through high. The web of smiles be wove was a certain trap for blondes. Charlie relin- (liiished his key positions in bas¬ ketball, Student Council, A. A., and Traffic to take a bigger job with the Navy. One who was so thoroughly popular and well- liked in the past can’t help but be the same in the future. 29
