ABERJOTslA . 1946 21 JAMES MORRISON Activities: A. A. Executive Board, Vice-President; Chorus; Dramatic Club; Football; Track. Jim is one of those fellows who has the gift of gab, and who is able to talk himself in or out of any situation. He is well known and well liked around school, and added to these personal attributes, he has a wide interest in all school activities. Jim will be missed, for he has added a great deal of color to school life. FRANCIS JAMES NOLAN Harvard University Activities: Honor Roll; A. A., Executive Board; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Junior-Senior Prom Committee; Stu¬ dent Council, Advisory Board; Football; Basketball; Base¬ ball, Captain. Twig, the man of mystery (as far as girls are concerned) can always be identified by his contagious laugh, which can be roused at the slightest provocation when he is with the gang. His own par¬ ticular brand of humor has enlivened many dull days. Extremely well liked and popular with everyone. 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!). With these two major interests, it is natural that Joe should be one of the many members of the Girl Haters Local, Number 992. 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. What will the tap chorus do without Mur.® She’s the popular and snappily dressed gal with the Navy blue eyes. Tall and slim, gra¬ ciously appealing, and a sincere friend to all, that’s Betty — a girl not soon to be forgotten. JOHN WILLIAM O’BRIEN Tnjts College Activities: Honor Roll; Science Club; Math Club. John, otherwise known as “O’B,” is a bit reserved, but has a hidden talent for piano playing which makes him a welcome addition to any group. 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. When Paul decided to join the Navy in his junior year, Winchester High lost one of its gayest, happiest, and wittiest boys. With that Irish gift-of-gab and a decided talent for mimicry. Harp was always the life of the party. Those of the fairer sex who had the good fortune to dance with him say he is bound to be a second Fred Astaire. Luck pursue you, here’s to you. Harp!

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.

22 ABERJOMA . 1946 SALLY LOUISE OSBORNE Activities: Chorus; Red Cross. The auburn-haired bombshell with the gay personality is Sally. Fun-loving and always bubbling over with cheery chatter, Ozzie hopes some day to be a model and we know she has what it takes to become one! SAMUEL ERNEST PERKINS II Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Aberjona; Class Play Com¬ mittee; Red Cross; Science Club, Treasurer; Math Club, President. “Say, who is that studious, silent, good-looking fellow sitting over there?” “Oh, that’s Sam, one of the outstanding scientists of our class.” His wonderful smile and quiet sense of humor will be missed in dear old Winchester High when Sam goes to M. I. T. MARGARET PARKHURST Smith College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black, Feature Editor; Ab£rjona, Co-Editor; Chorus; Class Play Committee ' , Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Basketball. With striking good looks, Marg commands attention and interest wherever she goes. She has a passionate devotion for the Boston Bruins, but shares with Patty an antipathy for the Detroit Red Wings. Her intelligence and her aptitude for writing made her a “natural ’ as feature editor of the Red and Black and Co-Editor of the Aberjona. May you always meet your dead-line! ROBERT FRANCIS PERRY Another ardent sports fan. Beany wishes to become a sports writer. (Of course the fact that these lucky fellows get the best seats at all sports events couldn’t have anything to do with this ambition!) If you want to know how your favorite team made out, just ask Beany. He’s got the qualities to make good, and we’re sure we’ll be reading some pungent, pithy sports reviews, signed with Beany’s by-line. JOHN JEROME PATTERSON Duke University Activities: Student Council, Vice-President; A. A.; Traffic; Red and Black; Class Play; Vaudeville; Class President ’42; Dra¬ matic Club; Basketball, Captain; Football, Manager; Student Council Executive Board; A. A. Executive Board. Suave, sociable Pat, he of the Bing Crosby sport jackets, is the despair of the girls in the senior class. With a limitless capacity for taking part in a large number of activities, he is a well-rounded chap (we don’t mean physically) and is so friendly and cordial, he’ll be well liked wherever he goes. RICHARD CHARLES POWERS Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Thrift Association; Hockey; Baseball. A permanent member of the Honor Roll, Dick is one of the brilliant boys of the class. If you don’t know the answer to something, just ask Dick. An incidental hobby of his is that blithe making and breaking of school records. However, Dick’s abilities are not limited to the scholastic held, for he’s good at sports as well. MARY JAYNE PENTA Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Thrift Association; Library Club. A girl with plenty of get-up-and-go, M. J. is vigor personihed. She rushes about in a way that gets things done with neatness and dis¬ patch. An expert at making and keeping friends with her ever¬ present brightness, M. J. rates high with her classmates. JANE ALICE RAINIE Wellesley College Activities: Student Council; Executive Board; Honor Roll; Chorus; Treasurer; Aberjona, Staff Editor; A. A. Executive Board; Red and Black; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Aber¬ jona Club; Class Vice-President, ’43; Basketball; Cheer Leading, Captain. Pep and poise describes this willowy blonde whose scintillating personality has made her one of the best liked seniors. Her winning ways have made her a perfect Head Cheer Leader. Here’s to a lass who makes a hit anywhere.
