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.

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.

16 ABERJOMA 1946 JAMES JOSEPH HAGGERTY United States Marine Corps Activities: Student Council; A. A., Executive Board; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Foo tball, Co-Captain; Baseball; Track; Class President, ’45, ’46. Jim is that good-looking gUy, a little bit shy, who was dynamite on the football field. He was also dynamite with the fair damsels who gazed with longing eye in his direction. His potential All- American toe booted the team to victory in many a tight spot. DOROTHY MARY HICKEY Radcliffe College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Chorus, Equipment Manager; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Library Club; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association. The friendly girl whose fine voice has contributed so much to Chorus is Dotty. She is also manager of the group and has kept its affairs in good order. She tempers her affinity for music with a conscientious interest in scholastic achievement. ROBERT DEFORD HALSTEAD Wesleyan University Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Traffic; Red Cross, Treas¬ urer; Science Club; Cross Country. Bob, with the pleasant smile and the even disposition, can always be counted on to give a friendly greeting in passing. He is an extraor¬ dinarily good tennis player and no laggard on the track. This speed even shows in his sense of humor, which pops forth at the least- expected moment. SUSAN HIGHT Colby Junior College Activities: Student Council; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus, President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Cluli; Thrift Association; Basketball; Field Hockey. Sue, with her Miss America smile and marked gift for putting adjectives to an original use, is one of our most talented seniors. Having proved her ability in numerous Dramatic Club plays and in the 1944 Class Play, she was perfectly cast in this year’s play. BARBARA JEAN HAMMOND Middlebury College A newcomer to W. H. S., Barbs is blessed with a cute figure and a pleasing voice. She came to us from Newton at the beginning of her senior year and has proved that she possesses natural acting ability. She has made lots of friends here in a very short time. MARION HORWOOD Boston University Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Abehjona; Chorus; Orchestra, Secretary; Band; Class Play; Vaude¬ ville; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Thrift Association; Basketball. A staunch supporter of both the orchestra and band, Marion has really been one of the mainstays of the musical life of the school. Her fine voice has added greatly to chorus and her piano playing be¬ tween acts of the vaudeville shows has been most distinctive. Her graciousness has made her one of the nicest girls in the class. Here’s to you. Mar. We appreciate all you’ve done. FRANCIS PAUL HERLIHY Boston University Activities: Vaudeville; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Football. Two hundred pounds of muscle and brawn describes Head, a human dynamo on the football field. When not giving his all to win for dear old W. H. S., Head heaves bulk ice cream at that popular gathering place beginning with a “B.” This he does with the pur¬ poseful air of a lad who means business. ALICE OTIS JENNINGS Colby College Activities: Red and Black; Aberjona; Vaudeville; Science Club; Dramatic Club. There’s a grin on her face and a happy word in her mind; she has poise and is charmingly likable. With your good sense to back up your happy-go-lucky way, you’re bound to be a worthy addition to the Colby campus, Allie.
