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.

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.

26 ABERJOKA . 1946 ERNEST ARTHUR TUTEIN, III Dartmouth College Activities: Traffic; Class Play; Vaudeville; Football; Track. Tall, dark and handsome, Tutie, with a certain strong, silent manner that baffies the opposite sex at times, left a big void when he went to private school the last half of the senior year. However, the many friends who remember him with happy associations wish him every¬ thing of the best. Hail and farewell, Tutie! MARY ALICE WAGSTAFF Regis College Activities: Science Club. Mary Alice came here last year from Dayton, Ohio, where she was active in many school affairs. She is a scientific-minded girl who, nevertheless, is always peppy and ready for fun. She has been very popular at W. H. S. and has made a lasting impression. ALLAN ULRICH United States Navy Activities: Student Council; Aberjona; Football; HockeJ Have you noticed a stalwart but retiring fellow passing through the corridors of W. H. S..’ Well, that’s All He has left the weaker sex to its own wiles, and has concentrated on his studies and athletics all during high school. Hockey is his favorite sport and he has really proved himself on the ice. BARBARA JEANNE WALTERS Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Math Club; Thrift Association. Barb is that genial and likeable girl who has been consistently on the honor roll. Have you ever seen her without a smile? Certainly not! With her agreeable disposition and brains, she has a refreshing manner that has made her one of the most gratifying persons to know. Carry on. Barb! BRIANT DIXON van der WYK Activities: Class Play. Tall and good-looking describes this man-about-school known to all of us as Van. Returning to W. H. S. this year after two years with Uncle Sam’s Navy, Van lost no time in getting back into school activities. He has a way with the fairer sex, and is the proud possessor of a maroon convertible which is always literally bulging with people. NATALIE ETHEL WARSKY Vermont Junior College Activities: Aberjona; Chorus; Band; Class Play; Class Play Com¬ mittee; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Basketball. Nat came to W. H. S. as a sophomore. Fairly bursting with pep and personality, she is the center of attraction wherever she is. Her dramatic career came to a head this year when she was given one of the leads in the Class Play. Need we add that she put it over with a bang? GALEN STUART VINCENT Activities: Traffic Squad; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Science Club; Math Club; Football. Fun to those who know him, but a bit retiring otherwise, Galen has a certain something that makes him the strong silent type. His quiet good humor makes him nice to have around. May you have good going on the road ahead, and may you never have an “engine that won’t start.” EILEEN RUTH WELCH Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. A great asset to both the basketball and hockey teams, Irish has been an indispensable and irreplaceable player. She is a friend to almost everyone and always is ready with a cheery “hello” and a bright smile. She hopes some day to be a doctor of surgery, and we know Eileen has the makings for just such a profession.
