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.

ABERJOXA • 1946 13 JOSEPH JOHN DERRO, JR. Activities: Student Council, Executive Board, Treasurer; Chorus, Treasurer; Class Play; Vaudeville; Thrift Association; Football; Class Treasurer, ’45. 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. With cheeks to match her name, this popular girl has brightened many a dull day with her lively laughter.

ABERJOMA . 1946 15 ROSE MARY FERRO Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Library Club; Thrift Association. A rather modest girl, Rosie has been quite active in her four years at high school. She enthusiastically took part in several organiza¬ tions. Rosie hopes to see the world, but not via the Navy. BARBARA FRY Middlebury College Activities: Math Club; Basketball; Chorus; Class Play Committee. Barb is one of those few people who combine both brains and beauty successfully — sparkling eyes, beautiful complexion, and ski- jump nose plus straight A’s prove our point. Barb has been with us just this senior year and we all wish that we’d had the pleasure of her company all through high school. BARBARA ELIZABETH FITZGERALD Activities: A. A.; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Library Club. Bobbie, with her vim and vigor, hopes some day to be the “perfect” secretary; and she should be, since she has proved her capabilities at W. H. S. She likes swimming and bowling, and her pet dislike is over-demonstrative people. We hope she will always keep that happy smile and pleasing disposition. JACLYN ANNE GEERTS Rolp School Activities: A. A.; Chorus; Red Cross; Basketball; Aberjona. Have you noticed that bright-eyed, brown-haired girl walking around the corridors of W. H. S..® Well, that’s Jackie. She’s the one that makes study halls and classrooms interesting — the one that can keep you smiling all the time. Almost violent in her likes and dislikes, Jackie has made a lasting impression upon the rest of us. PARKER GRENVILLE FLAGG Massachusetts State College Activities: Trafiic Squad; Red and Black; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Football; Baseball; Basketball, Manager. Zombie, the steam-rolling guard of the football team, has that affable personality that has made him popular with both the sexes. He showed great promise in the executive field by his management of the basketball team. THEODORE ELLIOT GINSBERG Boston University Activities: Traffic Squad; Chorus; Orchestra; Band; Science Club; Track. You’ve seen Ted, that tall thin boy, play a trumpet in the orchestra and the band. Ted hopes to follow in the footsteps of Harry James, his idol. In order to realize this ambition, he practices in the orches¬ tra as well as in the band. His interests, however, are not limited to music, for Ted is a sports enthusiast, and he has won many friends without the use of his trumpet. CHARLOTTE RUTH FLOWERS Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus. One of the pleasantly sedate members of the class. Char has been an honor roll student for three years. Her ambition to go abroad we hope will be fulfilled so she may add to the fine store of knowledge she has acquired at W. H. S. FRANK McClellan gunby, jr. Clemson College Activities: Science Club, Executive Board; Track; Indoor Track; Cross Country. Radiating goodwill, Frank is a happy-go-lucky fellow who knows how to please the “customers” at Winchester High, and at one of the local drugstores. It’s pretty certain that this experience will be of great value when he leaves W. H. S. for Clemson.
