Joe is that happy-go-lucky man about town who always has a cheery hello for those around him. His executive ability won him the position of treasurer of the class in our junior year Joe h ds the common hope of all of us — that of passing United States History. Don’t ever lose that grin, Joe, for it is bound to take you a long way. BARBARA GRAY DONAGHEY Activities: indent Council; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club, President; Basketball; hield Hockey. . .. That tiny, dark-haired girl so often seen mimeographing notices or working for the Library Club (.she’s president) is Rabbit. A whiz on the basketball court and hockey field, she’s a great athlete and you should see her swim! Rabbit has placed in almost every meet at Wedge Pond, and she aspires to be a swimming champ some day. MARIETTA DE TESO Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Red Cross; 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. Well, Mary is a girl who merits that second look and even a prolonged gaze. Furthermore, she has the luck to combine brains with looks and is no stranger to the honor roll. CHARLES THOMAS DOUCETTE, JR. Tufts Medical School Activities: Thrift Association. . Charlie’s the fellow you often see scurrying around m a very busi¬ nesslike manner, with a cheery “Hi for all. He has the brain power to go a long way, along with a grand sense of humor. It is rumored that Charlie will be in the Navy before too long, so keep smiling and may you go on making friends wherever the Admirals send you! KATHLEEN DEVLIN Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Basketball. Kay, that good-looking girl with the calm and composed manner, is not one to lose her temper, except on rare occasions. Well liked by many, her attractive smile is never to be forgotten. Her ambition is to become Mrs. A. J. (Wonder who that could be.! ) THOMAS DRAPEAU Boston University Medical School Tom is that suave, red-haired traffic lieutenant whom you ve all seen in the middle of the first floor corridor. Remember, single file and no whistling! Traveling is Tom’s favorite activity, and some day he hopes to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. To all the fairer sex who indulge in lipstick wearing — beware! Tom’s pet peeve is too much of that glamour on girls (0-ho!). Tom’s always ready with a smile, an open-sesame to the good things in life. MARY FRANCES DI MAMBRO Activities: Chorus. Attractive, dark-eyed Mary, the girl who likes dancing, swimnaing and football, is planning to concentrate her many interests into becoming a fashion expert. Her good taste now would indicate that she has chosen the right field. Who knows, we may some day see flashed on the screen, “Gowns by Mary Di Mambro.” ROSEMARY ANN DROHAN Radcliffe College Activities: Red and Black, Advertising Manager; Aberjona, Staff Editor; Chorus; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaude¬ ville; Junior Red Cross; Library Club; Dramatic Club, Treasurer. Effervescent Rosie is a girl of many moods. Sparkling with cheer¬ fulness most of the time, she has her serious moments with those who know her best.

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.

14 ABERJOMA . 1946 MARJORIE JOAN EBENS Some people call Margie reserved, but her spontaneous smile and love of fun will dispell any such illusions. Crazy about Spanish, she hopes some day to be able to speak it fluently. No doubt we’ll see her “South of the Border’’ one of these days organizing and installing Mexican youth hostels. JENNIE LOU ELLIO ' TT Wellesley College Activities: Honor Roll; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus, Trea.surer, Vice-President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club, Secretary; Aberjona Club; Math Club; Basketball; Class Secretary, ’46; Junior-Senior Prom Committee. Although Jennie Lou’s petiteness is the cause of the thwarting of her own secret ambit ion (to grow four or five inches), it contributed to her great success as leading lady in the class play. Jenny Lou is an actress of superior ability. Her art is not limited to dramatics, for she has a natural gift for drawing which she has put to good use during the last four years. PATRICIA LOUISE EBERLE Colhy Junior College Activities: Honor Roll, Student Council; Secretary, Executive Board; A. A.; Traffic; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaude¬ ville; Junior Red Cross; Aberjona Club; Class Secretary, ’42; Thrift; Basketball; Tennis. Committees galore and never a dull moment — this all-round girl is a born leader. If W. H. S. ever awards “E’’s for efficiency, Pat should be in the front row. She well deserved the Mansfield-Wheeler Cup. NORMA ELIZABETH FARRAR New England Conservatory of Music Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club. N orm is known around school as the girl with the happy disposi¬ tion. Among her many talents are singing, drawing, and piano play¬ ing. Her hobby of collecting insignia from the armed forces all over the world has added to her large circle of friends. JOY ELDRIDGE New England Conservatory of Music Activities: Chorus; Art Club; Red Cross. Joy has a knack for putting everyone at ease. Her long golden hair is a symbol of the gayety she carries with her. Interested in art, she thinks of painting as a hobby, and of music as an ambition. MARTHA MARIE FAY Iowa State College Activities: Red and Black, Advertising Manager; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Basketball; Honor Roll; Vaudeville; Class Play Committee; Chorus; Aberjona. Mardy’s the girl with big brown eyes and a lively sense of humor. She loves to paint, and has a passion for symphonies and the United States Navy. She’s always agreeable and willing to take responsi¬ bility. Mardy has a faculty for having fun in such a way that every¬ one else must have fun, too. GEORGE WILLIAM ELLIOTT Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad. El is a sober boy, but has made many friends during his four years in W. H. S. He is a hard worker in every subject he undertakes and successfully made the hon r roll for three years — a proud record. He claims that his pet peeve is taking tests, but judging from that honor roll record, we think he has little to worry about on that score. El’s future plans all seem to be connected with the United States Army, and we all know he will make the grade in the Army. RUDOLPH FERRERA Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Football. W’hen Rudy put down opposite his secret ambition, “The sky is the limit,’’ it told us much about him. Evidently he’s aiming high, and with his fine physique and height, he should be able to reach up and attain that ambition of his.
