r 10 ABERJOKA . 1946 JEAN THRASHER ALLEY Boston University Activities: Traffic Squad; Science Club, Vice-President; Thrift Asso¬ ciation; Basketball. One of the most faithful and sincere friends a person could have, Jeanie has what it takes! Raven hair that curls all by itself, eyes of sparkling brown, and a cheerful smile for all of us, these are but a part of her attraction. Jeanie’s years at B. U. should be chock-full of accomplishments and pleasures. ELLEN BAYLIES Colby College Activities: Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Science Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. You always know when Ellen’s around by her gay chatter and con¬ tagious laughter. Along with her gift of gab, she has a fine personality, good looks, and plenty of grey matter — assets which go far to make any girl a great success. ANNE MARIE AMICO Colby Junior College Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Library Club. Anne . . . brown eyes that flash and laugh, a smile unfailing in its cheerfulness, and a personality warm and vibrant! Anne has always been a friend upon whom one can depend. She is also the kind of person who brightens life for others. ROBERT JOSEPH BERANGER Activities: Science Club; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Baseball; Track. Another one of our amiable seniors, Bob is noted for his consistent good nature. His rugged good looks were of prime importance to numerous Vaudeville performances, especially one never-to-be-for¬ gotten huba-huba dance in which certain other masculine “beauties” also participated. MARY CATHERINE ARMATO Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Red Cross; Library Club; Math Club. Mary, the girl with the happy smile, can be proud of her four years on the honor roll. Added to this, Mary’s all-round interest in school activities makes her one of the Class of ’46 who will long be remem¬ bered by her many friends. A swell gal, well-liked! RICHARD ALLAN BLACKHAM Harvard University Activities: Honor Roll; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Art Club; Thrift Association. Dick’s an idealist, at home in the world of records, art, and books. If W. H. S. is harboring a liberal arts student, it’s Dick; and though we may wonder about him, it’s fairly safe to say that his taste is well-founded and his ideas are worthwhile. Swamped by committee tasks, he still has time to turn out “A” work and even be an amiable sort of fellow. DONALD CUMMINGS ARMSTRONG Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Traffic Squad, Chief; Vaude¬ ville; Aberjona Club; Football; Baseball; Hockey, Captain. Don is one of those clever persons who gets things done quickly and well. He is famous for his “Charles Atlas” physique and his notable skill on the football field. Donnie has filled a pretty big place in the senior class and is really a top-notch performer in any field. HAROLD DEXTER BLENKHORN United States Navy Activities: Chorus; Orchestra. That stellar clarinet player you’ve seen in the band is Blenk. He is one who spends much time in Room 2, like many other commercial students. With a yen for horses and horseback riding, he manages to take a little time out from his musical activities to have a bit of fun on the bridle path. Here’s hoping you give “B. G.,” that other good clarinet player, a run for his money, Blenk!

ABERJOKA . 1946 11 SHIRLEY HOLBROOK BONNELL Activities: Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Thrift Association; Basketball. Shirl has that certain laughing personality that’s catching (espe¬ cially to the male species). She is sincere, energetic, and has an un¬ beatable sense of humor, not to mention a slick figure, super- fashionably garbed. Nothing but the best for Shirl! JANE CARROLL BURCHETT Katherine Gibbs School Activities: Traffic Squad. Quiet and modest is Jane. Hardly a peep is heard from her direc¬ tion, although she gives W. H. S. her share of school spirit. Jane joined our class as a sophomore, only to leave us in the junior year; we were all happy to welcome her again th is last and most eventful year. RICHARD FURLONG BRACKETT Bowdoin College Activities: Student Council, Executive Board; A. A.; Red and Black; Aber.tona; Chorus; Orchestra; Band; Class Play; Vaude¬ ville; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club, Treasurer, President; Track. The John Barrymore (sans profile) of the Dramatic Club displayed marked ability in every performance of that organization in which he took part. DOROTHY ANNE BYFORD Middlebury College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black’, Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club, Vice-President; Aberjona Club; Art Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. Dottie is energy personified, and she expends it on various schemes, each one either a source of fun or a cause of headache to her friends. MARY JEAN BROWNING Cornell University Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Executive Board; Science Club; Basketball; Field Hockey; Cheer Leading. M. J. is the athletic type, a star in every .sport. A whiz at hockey, she swishes her way through ba.sketball, and is a regular mermaid in the briny deep. Mary Jean is sincere, conscientious, even-tempered, and above all a true friend to all. There’s no doubt about it, M. J. is tops! MARILYN SIAS CAMPBELL Middlebury College Activities: Red and Black, Staff Editor, Co-Editor-in-Chief; Class Play; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Thrift Association; Basketball. Whatever Marilyn has a hand in is always a success. Her gay smile greets everyone and her enthusiasm inspires many a school activity. Lyn is one in a million, with her talent in writing and also in art. Luck to you, Lyn, with that best-seller! PHYLLIS BUCCI University of California Aqtivities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Class Secretary, ’44. Tall, attractive Phyl, with a knack at wearing clothes well, has won many friends with her pleasant disposition. Active in many extra-curricular events, she has always come through with a good job. Phyl is part of the cream of the crop. PAULINE CAPONE Kathleen Dell School Dark-eyed, cheerful Pauline, otherwise known as Pollyander, has an eye on the Kathleen Dell School and a future in the business world, unless her interest in music sidetracks her into the artistic field. Whichever you choo.se, stay happy, Pauline!
