LOUISE ESTHER SMITH Secretary Latin Club (I). Member of Glee Club (1). Member of A. A. (2). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). If we should attempt to mention all about the boyfriends of Louise we would fill this page. To prevent any such catastrophe we won’t mention them. Don’t ever dare Louise to do anything you really don’t want her to do for she is the most daring of daredevils that we know. Louise is a good dancer and is at her best on a dance floor. WILLIAM HOWARD SWANSON The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Member of A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4) Baseball (3, 4). Glee Club (I). Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Captain of Basketball (4). Vice-President of Class (3). Treasurer of Class (4). Cast of A Character Intrudes (4). A. A. Dance Committee (2) Class Dance Committee (4). Who in the class of ’34 is most indispensable in basketball? Who has the biggest line? Who always has a crowd of girls around him? Who tries to make class dances and parties a success? Who is interested in Watertown? Who is most eligible for membership in the Tall Story Club ? Why, Bill, of course. Here is a bit of advice to those who do not know Bill—Take whatever Bill tells you with a grain of salt and even then be careful!! MELVINA ELIZABETH WELLES Zealous in retaining her Dious demeanor, but bound to sic on a good time. Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). Basketball (1). Glee Club (1). Member of A. A. (1). Latin Club (I). Treasurer of Class (1). Vice-President (2). Sophomore Dance Committee (2). Sophomore Party Committee (2). Everyone envies Mike, our jolly classmate, her dancing abilities. She is usually looking for excitement and generally manages to find it. However she can be serious. One thing, we are sure of is, that Mike was never destined to be a linguist. (We refer to French, especially). Without Melvina (don’t call her that, she doesn’t like it) our class would be a much duller group. She has always been willing to do her part as a member of the class. Page Ten

FRANK LEO MULVEY He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor.” Chairman, Council of Ten (4). Mirror Staff (3, 4). Senior Dance Committee (4). Class Treasurer (3). Frank is our mathematician. He could probably tell the man who wrote the geometry book something. As chairman of the Council of Ten, he has helped to make that body a success. Frank is going to Annapolis. We are sure that he will be successful in every thing he attempts. He really ought to be a chemist or physicist, judging from his interest and marks in those subjects. FLORENCE ADALYN OVERTON Show me a happier one than you.” Entered from Friends Academy, Locust Valley, L. I., Member of A. A. (4) Capt. Basketball (4). Member of Council of Ten (4). Chairman English Club (4). Dance Committee (4). Class Prophecy. Polly, a newcomer to W. H. S., skipped the class of ’35 to join us in our Senior Year. Under her direction the English Club has been very helpful and do you remember her posters for our Spring dance? Polly is a help in every emergency and she never lacks plans and initiative. How did we ever give a party or dance without her, we wonder. By the way, did you know that her real name is Florence? Who ever hears that though? Last but not least she is a new Honor Roll student for the Seniors. ANNE MARY PLUNGIS The warmth of genial courtesy, the calm of self reliance.” Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Member of English Club (3, 4). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). Basketball (4). Member of A. A. (4). Class Gifts (4). If you see someone industriously making out notes on her Chemistry or Economics lesson you can be sure it’s Anne. The teachers are never able to catch her when she hasn’t done her lessons. She's our neatest girl and well deserves it. Just take a look at her hair which all the girls envy. During her Senior year she played basketball. We only wish she had started playing sooner. Anne attends entirely to her own business and is the kind of a person we like to have around and to whom we all confide our secrets. Page Nine

VIRGINIA MARY WELLS Still to be nr.it, still to be d resit, As you were going to a feast. G!ee Club (1 I. Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). Nature Study Club (1). Virginia has kept all the girls in a state” since she entered high school. Which means, that her clothes have been envied and wonder expressed at their variety. However, she does not spend ail her time on clothes. She is a good friend as those who knew her will tell you. She is quiet and you might say, our most ladylike girl. Virginia is a.so our shortest girl. Perhaps the reason why she has so many clothes is because it takes only a few inches of cloth, (slightly exaggerated) to make a dress for her. DOLLY LOVEJOY WIGHT Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.” Glee Club (1). Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Basketball (2). Member of A. A. (2). Class Dance Committee (2, 4). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). Secretary of English Club (3). Class Secretary (4). Class Will (4). To appreciate Dolly you have to know her. Not only is she one of the most popular girls in the Senior Class but in the whole school as well. Besides being attractive, Dolly dances, can make you laugh quicker than a clown, receives good marks, has more friends than we can name, is well read, can converse intelligently and is an asset to any social gathering. What more can you ask of one girl? JAMES ERIC WILSON With the air of a man whom nothing could turn from his purpose. Member of Glee Club (1). Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). Class President (4). Conceited? - Yes, but sometimes it pays to be a little conceited,” quotes Jimmy, our Class President. Maybe he is correct and maybe he has a right to be conceited, for such accomplishments as his in dramatics, singing, and at the piano certainly deserve some credit and distinction. He not only heads the class in music but also in argument, at which his boiling point is low. Ceramic art is his hobby and may be used as a side line along with the development of his other interests. Page Eleven
