12 ABERJ OJ iA . 1946 MARY FRANCES CARROLL Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club; Hockey; Basketball. you think Mary is shy — you’re very much mistaken. Her sense humor and pleasant disposition make her fun to have around. Her active part in hockey and basketball makes her a necessary member of both. A swell gal who will do justice to that nursing cap when she dons it in the fall. FREDERICK LEWIS COMBES Tufts College Activities: Science Club; Math Club. A bit on the sober side, but one who is never studying too hard to greet everyone with an “Ipana” smile is that handsome lad, Fred. Although the Science and IVXath Clubs absorb much of his attention, it has been rumored that Fred is not entirely averse to feminine company. His pleasantness is one of the things for which he will be remembered. DOROTHY CARRUTHERS Westbrook Junior College Activities: Traffic Squad; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Basketball. Long, luxurious hair, elegant clothes, and a figure to match — that’s Dottie! With such a combination she could not miss making friends, especially those of the male species. Dottie has given more good times to more people, in her blue convertible, than anybody else we know. ANNA SHIRLEY COMITA Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville. Good-natured Anne, whose ambition is to sing with a big-name band, has lent her talents to Chorus ably for two years. Your friends of W. H. S., who have enjoyed the past years with you, hope your yen for music is satisfied when your dream comes true, Anne! THOMAS WILLIAM COGAN Activities: Baseball. Tom whipped through school, stopping long enough to play base¬ ball, and gave to the sport his undivided attention. Many a feminine eye has been cast on Tom’s curly hair with envy, but with true mas¬ culine indifference he is unaware of this attention. He’s by far the gayest guy when triumphant, but, win or lose, Tom’s equanimity is superb. WILLIAM TARR CUNNINGHAM Activities: Student Council; Chorus; Band; Class Play; Vaudeville; Hockey. Red is that suave young gentleman whom we see strolling down the corridors with that certain twinkle in his eye, strictly for the fairer sex. He has a tremendous capacity for making friends wherever he goes, which is easy to understand when you consider that particu¬ larly nice warm smile of his. A bit of a temper that matches his hair makes Red one of the most interesting members of the class of ’46. MARJORIE COLLIANDER Activities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Class Vice-President, ’45. Collie, a very cute brownette, has been on the permanent honor roll for four years, and that is an achievement to be proud of. Speak¬ ing of achievements. Collie is a whiz-bang typist with a word per minute record that rivals an expert’s. She finishes up the things she starts, a trait we all admire. CONRAD DANA Tufts College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Vaudeville; Science Club; Math Club; Track. Connie may be quiet and unassuming in the classrooms and halls of W. H. S., but just get him out on a ski trail and he proves him.self one of those smooth upright performers, and we do mean upright. Connie will always be remembered for his friendly smile.

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.

With pretty hair and pretty eyes, Mary is a girl that you look at twice — that luscious wavy hair and those dark eyes to match.
