20 ABERJOMA . 1946 MARY ESTHER McDONOUGH Activities: Basketball; Chorus. Peppy and always ready with a humorous quip — that is Mickey, the girl who has the ability to make everyone laugh. Her secret ambition is to take over where Amelia Earheart left off, and Mickey has just the qualities to do this. With a carefree air that can’t be beaten, Mickey will be remembered because she has always been able to pull us out of the doldrums. JOHN PETER McHUGH, JR. United States Navy Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad. With his friendly hello and contagious smile, Mac has won a lot of friends at W. H. S. Just as John shone on the honor roll for two years, so will he be a bright light in the electrical world when he gets his own shop. More power to you! LILLIE McCANE Symmes General Hospital Activities: A. A.; Red and Black; Aberjon. ; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Art Club. Although Lillie is shy and quiet when one first meets her, her friends know that she is just the opposite when the occasion arises. Lillie hails from the deep South and has won her way into the hearts of many so-called Yankees, especially a Yankee sailor. What will the vaudeville do without “Lil”. ' ' PETER SANFORD MEIGS Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Athletic Association; Science Club, President; Math Club. Pete is one of a few w’ho really know how to study and does so, but in doing so does not sacrifice his winning smile and pleasing per¬ sonality. Having represented many of the clubs in school, he will, no doubt, be one of those “big representatives” at M. I. T. The scientific world had better look out for its laurels when Pete enters it, HELEN FRANCES McGOWAN Massachusetts General Hospital Activities: Chorus; Library Club; Red Cross; Hockey. One of those serene persons who gives you a feeling of ease . . . Helen fits this description. Taking an active part in hockey, she really knows how to handle that ball. She plans to become a nurse and hopes to enter training school next fall. It is easy to predict her success as she has been adept at all the things she has under¬ taken at W. H. S. GORDON MILLS Yale University Activities: Science Club; Track; Golf; Junior-Senior Prom Committee. Gordon came to W. H. S. in his junior year from New Haven, Connecticut, where he starred on New Haven’s swimming team. He spends his summers winning riding trophies, but has lately given this up in favor of washing dishes at a summer hotel in Maine. Gordon is sure to succeed at Yale, and after that to live in the vicinity of “Lynn.” LILLIAN ELIZABETH McGRAIL Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Library; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association. Vivacious and talkative, Lil holds people alert when she enters the scene. Her mixture of spontaneous remarks with a sophisticated attitude somewhat baffles us. Always unpredictable, she makes life interesting for all those who come in contact with her. JUNE SHAILER MOFFETTE Activities: A. A.; A. A. Executive Board; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club; Aberjon. ; Basketball; Field Hockey; Cheer Leading. Muffin keeps her finger in almo.st every activity in a most vivacious manner. Her pep on the athletic field and in the swimming pool contribute to making her a star. The freedom and exuberance which show up in her enthusiasm for sports is also visible in her art work. The success of many school activities has been due in great measure to June’s artistic contributions.

ABERJOKA . 1946 19 JAMES KEVIN MAGUIRE Activities: Student Council; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Aberjona; Class Play; Vaudeville; Science Club. Jimmie is a little man with a big sense of humor. With his happy- go-lucky attitude and his brains, he’ll certainly find a welcome wherever he goes and whatever he does. Definitely, he is our person¬ ality man, known fondly as “James Magee.” NORBERT FOREST MANDERVILLE United States Navy Knobby, that five-foot powerhouse with the flaming topknot, is full of the fire that goes with red hair. He has the police well trained, for they look the other way whenever he whizzes past. His ambition is to become a state policeman, probably because he wants to hang those pretty tickets on car doors. Knobby is a true angler, along with his many other talents, and can tell those traditional fish stories, to the delight of his many friends. MARILYN ANN MAGUIRE Kathleen Dell School Activities: Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville. Marilyn may be a conservative, but she’s the sweetest conservative that a bunch of radicals like us could ever find. Her likeable disposi¬ tion, glowing through her reserve, is something that grows on you. Those who know her consider her a wonderful friend and a grand classmate! JEANNE ELIZABETH MARCEAU University of New Hampshire Activities: Honor Roll; Vaudeville. Jean is our quiet, attractive brunette, but in spite of her quietness she is a delightful person to have around. Happiness is her by-line. May she find her full share of it, as she and Margie pursue their favorite activity of bicycling to youth hostels. CECILIA LORETTA MALLOY Cecilia, the individualist, scorning the short or the long bob, wears her brownette hair in two shining braids in coronet style. She is one of those amiable persons who has no pet peeve, and she is eager to become an aviatrix. Keep ’em flying, Cecilia! SHEILA MARGARET MARTIN “The friendly girl with the carefree air” describes Sheila who, like many other members of the class, is planning to take the business world by storm. Sheila’s easy-going, unruffled disposition should help her accomplish this aim. Sheila maintains a constant interest in the happenings of the school and the class. This personal interest has won many friends. NOLA FERN MANDERVILLE Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Vaudeville; Thrift A.ssociation. Nola, whose Titian locks give her the nickname Rusty, likes sing¬ ing and dancing and she does both well. Nola’s friends say she is apt to hide her talents under a modest m anner, but predict success for her in some musical activity when she graduates. CORINNE MARVIN Oberlin College Activities: Traffic; Aberjona; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Math Club, Secretary; Thrift; Basketball; Hockey. Beautiful complexion, streamlined figure with clothes to match, Kirk has her father’s analytical brain offset by a giggle. One of the big three on basketball defense, she was a victim of the superefficiency which she dealt out as hockey manager. She wants to be a doctor — feeling sick, fellas.

A., Executive Board; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Junior-Senior Prom Committee; Stu¬ dent Council, Advisory Board; Football; Basketball; Base¬ ball, Captain.

Twig is an all-round boy who contributed much to the three major sports of the school. MARY ALYCE MULLEN Activities: Chorus. Quiet, demure, and pretty is Mary, who can usually be seen in a certain maroon convertible. She came to us from Danvers in her sophomore year, and as a member of Chorus for three years, has sung her way into our hearts. JOSEPH JOHN NOONAN Joe, the strong silent type, is an ardent sports fan. When he can take his mind off the sports pages long enough, Joe nourishes a secret ambition to fly (pilots take warning!).

ELIZABETH ANNE MURRAY Katherine Gibbs School Activities: Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Chorus; Class Play Com¬ mittee; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Art Club; Thrift Association; Basketball.

O’B is liked by many who know him well, and is sure to make good in whatever he does. EDWARD JOSEPH MURPHY, JR. Activities: Traffic Squad; Chorus. Always rough and ready in the company of men, Eddie Joe is a changed man among the fairer sex. With Eddie around no one need fear a dull moment, as he possesses a certain quality which lends life to the dullest class. Eddie really is that “good humor’’ man. PAUL MARTIN O’KEEFE Dartmouth College Activities: Student Council; Hockey; Golf Team; Class Play; Vaude¬ ville.
