LORRAINE DF.NISE FRADETTE Lome” Honor Society; Mirror 3, 4; Art Club 4; French Club Treasurer 2. Lorrie, our most attractive senior, is also one of the smartest, being an honor student. Her friendly personality and sense of humor have won her many friends since she came to Woodbury in her sophomore year. Known for her art work, from her sketch pad one day will come fashions to rival those of Dior. There’s nothing more fun than a man.’’ BRUCE GORDON GAVITT Gav” Mirror 2, 3, Sports Editor 4; Boys’ State 3; Chorus 1, 2; Science Club 1, 2; French Club Vice President 2. Red hair sometimes is a sure sign of fire. However, in this case, fire is not temper, but it is an eagerness to work. As sports editor of the Mirror Bruce has proven his ability in the literary field. But he prefers the business field and one day will be found with his feet on a desk smoking a cigar. He was so civil, that nobody thanked him for it.” WILLIAM BURTON GILSON, JR. Billy” Baseball Manager 3; Mirror 3, 4; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Art Club 4; French Club 2. Blond hair and a volatile laugh would easily distinguish Billy from a crowd. He has a fanatical interest in science and can generally be found in the lab or science room devising some gadget to fly him and his cohorts, the Mellettes, to the moon. His chosen route leads on to college but his exact future is undecided. Bless the man who first invented sleep.” GAIL LYNN JUDSON Gail- Class Executive Committee 3; Honor Society; Cheerleader 3; FHA President 4; Mirror 2, 3, Technical Editor 4; Chorus 1, 2, 4; French Club 2; Prom Committee 3, 4. Gail is noted for her ability to dance and her aspiration to be a dancing instructor. She has performed for many school events and was a cheerleader in her junior year. Her bright, cheery smile and her pleasant manner have lightened many a classroom. We feel sure that some day Arthur Murray will have to move over and share the limelight with Gail. hi this bright little package, you've a dime's worth of something known only to God.”

JOAN DEL PO Joannie” Class Secretary 1; Class Vice President 2, 3; Honor Society; Wide Awake Art Editor 4; Student Council Representative 4; Softball 1, 2, 4, Captain 3; Cheerleader 1; Mirror 1, 2, Assistant Editor 3; Quill and Scroll 3, 4; Chorus 1, 3, 4, Vice President 2; History Club 1; Eorums 3, 4; Art Club 4; Prom Committee Chairman 3, 4; Vanguard 4, Art Editor 2. Dark eyes, a long pony tail, numerous talents, and personality plus, all belong to our Joan. Her hard work and efforts in the interest of old WHS and of her class will be a loss, both to us and to those that remain. Although she doesn’t smoke, the word weed is commonly associated with her. Her path will probably lead to the altar and to family life. The sailor’s wife the sailor’s star shall be. PATRICIA ANN DELUCA Pat” Class Secretary 3; Mirror 1, 4; Chorus 1, 2. Pat's familiarity with the latest dance steps and her knowledge of lyrics to the current hit tunes have always astounded us. She can usually be found in room 15 before school and at noon, dancing and singing away to beat the band. Pat has aided the class in many ways and though her future is as yet undecided, we know she will succeed in whatever she does. A man is always better than a book.” THOMAS STUART EDDY Tom FFA 2, 3, 4. Tom hails from Watertown and though married is determined to finish high school. Even though Tom doesn’t participate in extracurricular activities, he is well liked by all and has made many friends since coming to WHS. The class of ’58 wishes Tom the best of luck in his chosen career, whatever it may be. Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife. JOHN ERNEST EYRE Eyrsie” Class President 4; AA Representative 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball Manager 1, 2; Boys’ State 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4, Vice President 2; French Club 2. Nice Chuck, Johnny, way you pitch.” This is a common expression, for this young lad has led many a victorious war from the mound. He has shown his willingness to work in many other fields, and especially, as senior class president where he piloted our class through a very successful year. Like many, his path leads on to college and then to a position in engineering. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no fibs.”

LORRAINE DOROTHY KOZF.NIESKI Koz Honor Society; Mirror 4; Art Club 4. Lorrie is a quiet, shy girl who likes to swim and ice skate in her spare time. She always has a friendly hello” when entering her classes, the greater part of which are commercial. When not found at home or in school, Lorrie is generally at the Charcoal Chef. A jew strong instincts, and a jew plain rules.” JOHN ANTHONY KRIMSKY, JR. Krimsky Class Vice President 4; Student Council Representative 4; Basketball Manager 3, 4; Baseball Manager 3; Chorus 3; Science Club 4; Forums 3, 4; French Club 2. This was a delightful little addition to our class during our sophomore year. His sharp and ready wit has led our class through dark and sunny times and has enabled him to be a valuable member of the Student Council. Well known for his numerous and skillful evasions of work, he can be found leaning back in a chair engrossed in the stock page of the NEW YORK TIMES most any morning. The world’s as ugly, ay, as Sin and almost as delightful.” NANCY ELLEN MATHEWS Bouncy” Basketball 2; Chorus 2, 3, 4; Art Club Treasurer 4. This cute little blond came to us from the hills of Maine, and we have adopted her with love and affection. One's first impression of Nancy is of a girl that is quiet and very reserved. But here, a first impression is wrong. For Nancy, when teamed up with a gang of girls, is a devilish little prankster with a wit and intelligence that has contributed much to her class’s success. The Females of all species are most dangerous when they appear to retreat. MARGARET LOUISE MAYO Margie Wide Awake Photography Editor 4; Mirror 3, 4; Chorus 1, 3, 4; Science Club 4. Margie, the best-dressed and neatest gal in the senior class, left Woodbury after her freshman year to attend private school; but her junior year found her back in Woodbury again. This year she was photography editor of the yearbook. In the fall Margie will be at college diligently studying to be a nurse, pausing only long enough to write to the University of Iowa. It is the prime duty of a woman of this world to look well.”
