Page Six THE WIDE AWAKE Henry Mallette Basketball 29, Class Secretary '29, Honorable Mention Essay Contest ’28, Second Prize Essay Contest ’29, Senior Play 1929. “My body is to frail for my moods.” Henry is a boy who is always expecting trouble. He. well, believes that his teachers accuse him unjustly, girls do not understand him, and that his boy friends are putting something over. It was not until his Senior year that Henry’s talents were revealed. After the basketball season the climax came when as an actor he completely captivated his audience. We’ll not soon forget the grins of Uncle Tom, but although his stage performance was exceedingly smooth, those behind scenes could testify that there were certain slight symptoms of nervousness resulting, wherever he was, in a disturbance of stage setting and a clatter of dishes miraculously saved from being shattered. Henry has literary aspirations and has made a good start. Carolyn Parmelee Basketball ’26, ’28. Class Prophecy ’29 “What is life that we should mean?” Why make so much ado?” Carrie is always smiling, never cross or selfish and ever willing to help with what may be going on. She never worries and all in all that is a delightful sort of person to have around. (We think that the reason for her good nature is that she drinks milk in large quantities.) • Henry Partridge Treasurer Class 28, 1924-25, Cast of Senior Play 1925; Baseball team ’25-’26-’29, President Full-O-Pep Club, Agricultural Judging team, ’26-’27; President of A. A. ’29; President Class of 28, 1926-27; Basketball team ’26; Junior Play, Senior Play, Assistant Business Manager Wide Awake ’28. “An intellect of quite unequalled brilliancy” Athlete, debator, scholar, actor, historian and scientist. We wonder if there’s anything that Henry doesn’t know, only it’s all a wonderful bluff. Henry has been in and out of W. H. S. somuch, that we can’t realize that this is his last year. It’s well understood that someone in Waterbury eagerly watches the batting averages of our baseball team, to see if her big blond hero is still in the lead.

THE WIDE AWAKE Page Five Mabelle Dickinson Class Vice-President Sophomore year. Basket-ball ’29; Business Manager of Junior Edition of Wide Awake; Glee Club '29; Class Poet ’29. “Bright was her face with smiles, her words of welcome and of gladness.” Who is indispensible in Basketball and invaluable in Glee Club? Mabelle of course! We know that there hasn’t been much to interest Mabelle in W. H. S. for several years now, but we re glad that she has found her way daily along Main Street, to the School house de-pite her reference for hilly country. Horace Eriksson Class President ’26-’27, ’28-’29 Junior Play 1928, Senior Play 1929. Business Manager, Wide Awake '29. Leader in Subscription Con-tset '29, Member of Agriculture Judging Team '25. ’26, Exeutive Committee Full-O-Pep Club. “Here is a man can do it. Hello good-looking! Of course you all know Horace in every debate, taking leading parts In the class plays, leader of school contests, on honor roll—and it’s a reconized fact that since Horace has been working in the A P, trade with the feminine sex has increased 100%. Mary Hicock Vice-Pres. Senior Class, Class Will 1929. “She was of those who heard their own thoughts lovingly. Peeling them far too dear to give away.” Who’s the demure blonde strolling down the walk? Why that’s Mary Demure? Well perhaps in school, but outside—oh my! Mary's old redBuick rushes in where real cars fear to tread, and under Mary’s skillful manipulation pulls through. Quite she may be, but if you wish to get the best of her. you'll have to go some!

THE WIDE AWAKE Page Seven Nellie Plungis Glee Club 1928-9; Basketball 1928-8; Class Will 1929. “She hath a friendly air and many pleasant wiles.” Nellie is a happy-go-lucky sort of a girl. It is easy to make her peeved, but hard to make her really angry. She’s just bubbling over with wise-cracks and jokes. Our chief delights are seeing her walk out of History class beside Erma Minor, and watching her blush in English. We often wonder if the blushes are all for Miss Sweet. You have to watch these quiet girls. Inez Richmond Class Reported Wide Awake ’27; Editor of Junior Edition of Wide Awake '28; Subscription Contest ’29; Class Salutatorian '29. And still they gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry al she knew.” What will we do without “Inez” to help us with our French, Latin. History and Geometry? Never too busy to help someone else always smiling, always the same generosity personified. And you must admit that even if the W. H. S. cheering squad was a flop, it wasn’t “Inez’s” fault. Jeanette Stone Class Secretary ’25-’26; Class Reporter Wide Awake ’27; Assistant Editor of Wide Awake ’28; Editor-in-chief of Wide Awake '29; Executive Comm, of A. A. Vice President of A. A. ’28; Secretary of A. A. ’29; Cast of Junior play and Senior play; Leader of Subscription Contest '29; Basketball '28-’29; Glee Club '29; Class Valedictorian '29. “A mind that suits With this thy fair and outward character.” All hail! Here comes “Stoney.” Musician, dancer, honor student, tennis champ—what more can you ask for in one girl? Good looking. but not conceited, studious but not a “grind,” talkative but not “catty,” popular but not rushed, well-dressed but not vain—you say it sounds too good to be true? That shows that you don’t know Jeanette.
