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.

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!

ABERJOKA . 1946 23 SHIRLEY HELEN RAYMOND Activities: Chorus; Red Cross. Shirl, our tall, slim, attractive blonde, really knows how to wear her clothes well. Although she may seem quiet, those who know her well all agree that she is a fun-loving and enthusiastic sort! May you find happiness in all that you attempt to do, Shirl, and go on winning friends with those cute dimples and that nice smile! ELIZABETH JAYNE ROGERS Activities: Chorus; Thrift Association; Vaudeville. Betty arrives at school promptly at 8:29 each morning but still has time for a word and a smile for everyone. After due considera¬ tion, she gives bleached blondes as a pet peeve, but it takes no time at all to determine that her secret ambition is to be lazy all her life. Popular with all, Betty is a definite asset wherever she is. PATRICIA RECORD Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus. Pat is the kind of a girl who is always doing something, and is always ready with a laugh. She’s good stuff right through, always willing to take a job and do justice to it. An earnest friend with a winning way, Pat is sure to succeed at medical school. ANN RALLO Activities: Vaudeville; Chorus; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Cheer Leading. We’ll always remember Buttons as fun-loving, friendly, and well- groomed. Cheer Leading won’t be the same without Ann, who is a three-year veteran. This petite lass is virtual proof that good things come in small packages. Cheers to you, Ann! HENRY WILLIAM ROBERTS United States Navy Activities: Abekjona; Chorus, Secretary; Vaudeville; Football. This tall, dark six-footer may be seen wandering through the cor¬ ridors with a word and ready smile for the fairer sex. Hank’s like¬ able manner and wonderful sense of hmnor have won him many frien ' ds. Any trouble with your car.- Ask Hank. He is a great mechanic and with his knowledge of machinery he will have you fixed up in no time. PATRICIA OWEN ROOT Colby College Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Traffic; Chorus; Red Cross, Secretary, President; Dramatic Club; Aberjona; Math Club; Thrift; Basketball, Captain; Tennis, Manager; Field Hockey. Dark eyes, wavy blue-black hair and a bashful grin — that’s Pat, captain of girls’ basketball and all-round athlete, even though drinking unpasteurized milk put her out of commission in the fall, and a broken finger incapacitated her during basketball season! She aspires to score in hockey (the gal’s a goalie!). JOAN ESTEY ROBINSON Middlebury College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Aberjona, Co-Editor; Chorus; Orchestra; Class Play; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Math Club; Basketball. Some people live to study, but Joan studies to live. Joan is always happy and full of spirit. Her unselfish personality has won her many friends, both here and in New Hampshire. Being chosen Co-Editor of the Aberjona is an honor which this swell gal really deserves. CONRAD ROSANDER Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; A. A.; Traffic Squad; Traffic Squad Lieutenant; Red and Black; Vaudeville; Junior Red Cross; Aberjona; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association, President, Vice-President; Tennis; Tennis, Captain. Connie is noted for his championship in tennis, and is known as the man who can’t be beaten (well, not often anyway). We’ll never forget Connie’s ability to laugh or find something humorous in any situation!
