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.

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.

A.; Traffic; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Secretary of Red Cross; Field Hockey; Basketball; Te nnis. Dainty Jennings, another one of those glamazon basketball guards, is just a farm girl at heart; but can she help that Bacall resemblance. ' ' Long, shiny, blonde page-boy, and figure deluxe. Dude really graces the ivy halls, even if she can’t carry a tune. She’s a whiz at tennis and was captain for two years. EVELYN ANN KEITH Katherine Gibbs School Activities: Chorus; Junior Red Cross; Thrift.

MARJORIE JOHNSTON Boston University Activities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Orchestra; Class Play; Vaudeville; Junior Red Cross. A faithful and sincere friend — Jerry’s just that.

ELLEN KENERSON Lasalle Junior College Activities: Student Council; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Aber¬ jona; Chorus; Class Play; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association; Cheer Leading. Ellen, the glamour girl of the senior class, has a charming combi¬ nation of sweetness and sophistication.

NANCY MAUD JOHNSTON Bennington College Activities: Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Art Club; Thrift. Ginger ale may have pep, but Johnny has more. Although she has participated in many other activities, Johnny excels in Chorus and Art. She showed some special insight about certain glamour boys; she was way ahead of the rest of us on “Frankie” and “Van.” THOMAS AIKEN KIRWAN, JR. Dartmouth College Activities: Aberjona; A. A.; A. A. Executive Board, President; TraflBc Squad; Aberjona Club; Band, President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Science Club; Art Club; Track, Captain; Cross Country, Captain.

Tommy counts a host of friends in the Class of ’46. RALPH DAVIS JOSLIN, JR. Activities: Chorus; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Math Club; Football, Assistant Manager; Basketball. Oim blond-detector finds Ralph’s trail wandering hither and yon through the corridors of W. H. S., but it always seems to lead back to the gym.
