24 ABERJOKA . 1946 JOHN BURWELL RUTHERFORD Cornell University Activities: A. A.; Class Play; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Football; Track; Mr. Junior. The good-looking blonde with that lively sense of humor and plenty of grey matter to match is Johnny. Besides being a star on the foot¬ ball field, he is a star on the dramatic stage, having the lead in the Class Play in his junior year. “Huzzas” to an all-round fellow! BARBARA ANN SIPP Middlebury College Activities: Basketball; Honor Roll. Barb came to Winchester in April of her freshman year, bringing her love of fun with her. She has a pleasing personality, which has endeared her to her Warner, New Hampshire, friends, as much as it has to us. Even-tempered Barb will fit anywhere because of her ability to keep cool. MARJORIE RYERSON Activities: Class Play Committee; Science Club; Golf. Doll-like and dainty, Marj is a witty, merry maid who keeps other folks happy. As a scientist, she’s choked us with chlorine and dulled us with ether; but still, Marj ranks tops on our “hit parade.” HERBERT SMITH United States Army Activities: Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Track. That man-about-town, seen industriously pedalling to keep the housewives supplied with good things to eat, is competent Herbie. Pleasant and helpful, he’s getting experience working for one of the local grocers: “The customer is always . . .” Herbie has also been helpful in the Red Cross, as many a frantic representative will testify WILLIAM TOY SHOEMAKER H Bowdoin College Activities: Basketball; Baseball. Bill is a quiet, unassuming boy with a great love for professional sports. He is an ardent follower of most of the professional teams, and a staunch supporter of the Boston Bruins. Bill’s keen sense of humor will help him to win friends at Bowdoin as he has at W. H. S. MARY DEAN SNELL Perry Kindergarten School Activities: Chorus; Dramatic Club. Mild-mannered Mary Dean will make the perfect kindergarten teacher. With her gentle ways, it is a sure bet that all her pupils will like her. They’ll appreciate her singing cute lullabies which four years of Chorus have taught her. JOANNE SIMONDS Colhy Junior College Activities: R ed and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club; Field Hockey; Science Club, Secretary. Humorous, peppy, and poised is a good combination of adjectives for Josie, the unfailing center of attraction. Josie’s ambition is to be one of those artists, and we think that she has much talent. Her interests include science as well as art; and her ambition, medical- artistry, is a fortunate combination of these interests. RICHARD GEORGE SNELL Bowdoin College When he isn’t in school, we find Dick, a shy and unassuming blond fellow, juggling sodas down at the Winchester Drug. A winter sports enthusiast, Dick’s favorite pastimes are skiing and skating. He dislikes braggarts and hopes some day to be an executive in an insur¬ ance office.

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!

ABERJOMA . 1946 25 ROBERT CHESTER SPANG Tufts College Activities: Chorus; Aberjona, Business Manager; Football; Hockey; Track. All of you know Bob for his eflBcient managing of the Aberjona this year. A sports enthusiast — a stalwart on both the track and hockey teams! Bothered by late hours, Joe looks forward to the day when he no longer has to punch the time clock when he gets in at night. Bob’s one of those all-around fellows with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly “Hi” for everyone. KENNETH RUSSELL SYMMES United States Army Air Corps Activities: Traffic Squad; Aberjona; Chorus; Band; Science Club; Track. Have you noticed a very good-looking boy whizzing around town on a motorcycle. The chances are it is Kenny. He’s salvaged and owned more motorcycles than anyone in Winchester. Have you perchance noticed a good-looking boy in the band.? Chances are that’s Kenny, too, a gentleman adept at many things. MARK EDMUND STRAWBIDGE Boston University Activities: Traffic Squad; Class Play, Stage Manager; Class Play Com¬ mittee; Vaudeville, Stage Manager; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Math Club. Mark is that indispensable stage manager whose efficiency and capability have added a great deal to the success of several Vaudeville performances put on by the students of W. H. S. He also became a member of the Aberjona Club in his junior year — an honor well cd-mcd THOMAS THORNTON Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Indoor and Outdoor Track; Science Club; Executive Board. While we’re mentioning especially nice smiles in the senior class. Tommy’s is one to be included. With two bright brown eyes to top it, the combination makes him a nice person to know. Behind the tiller of a sailboat and on a swift downhill ski trail, he’s no novice. May you “slay ’em”! WILBUR DALE STUMP, JR. Mass achusetts Institute of Technology Dale, with some of that Southern finesse, came to us in his sopho¬ more year, left us for private school his junior year, but liked us so well, he came back to graduate with the class of ’46. Although he hopes to go to South America, we hope he will stay around New England long enough to get in four years at M. I. T. The best to you-all, Dale, from we-all. SALVATORE JOSEPH TIBAUDO Activities: Student Council; Chorus; Vaudeville; Football, Co- Captain; Basketball; Baseball, Captain; Athletic Associa¬ tion; Class President, ’43; Mansfield-Wheeler Cup Winner, Sammy was welcomed back with great enthusiasm when he returned from the Navy in the fall of ’45. An all-round athlete, he has been outstanding not only on the football field, but also on the baseball diamond. His host of friends were especially happy to see him win the Mansfield-W’heeler Cup. ROBERT SWANSON Harvard University Activities: Student Council, President; Student Council Executive Board; A. A.; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Science Club; Aberjona Club; Math Club; Hockey. Swanee possesses a keen sense of humor and a most pleasing manner. A superb sailor, he has walked off with several cups for his expert sailing, besides entering the Eastern Championship races in New York last spring. Along with sailing, Swanee’s favorite activities are playing hockey and dancing (ask Ellen). What more could any¬ one ask? MARCIA ANN TURNER Activities: Aberjona; Chorus; Red Cross; Thrift. We find Marcia an active but quiet girl who always has a word for everyone. Petite and cheerful, Marcia has high ambitions in the art field and from what we have seen of her work, there isn’t a doubt but what these ambitions will be fulfilled in an exceptional manner.
