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.”

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.”

RICHARD LOUIS MELLETTE Richie” Mirror 3, Art Editor 4; Science Club 4; Art Club 4; French Club 2; Prom Committee 4. I’m not Robert, I'm Richard.” This statement is common around the halls of Woodbury for these two handsome lads are twins, and more important they are identical twins. Richard (or is it Robert) has proven his ability as an artist by his diligent work with the VANGUARD, MIRROR, and other school activities that require the touch of an artist. His course of direction is uncertain, but we are sure that there is place for his talents. Know not which is which. ROBE.RT WILFORD MELLETTE Bob Mirror 3, Art Editor 4; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Art Club President 4; French Club 2. Here is the other half of the Bobsi Twins. Robert too has proven his artistic talents by long and hard work on the VANGUARD and MIRROR. Here the similarity between the two stops, for Bob's interest lies in scientific research, and he is acclaimed as the school’s rocket expert. Whatever his road may be we can vouch it will be a successful one. In science the credit goes to he who convinces the world.” JOHN CHARLES MILLER Johnny” Student Council President 4; AA Representative 3; Basketball 2, 3, 4; FFA 1, 2, Reporter 3, State Judging Team 3, National Judging Team 3. To try to pick out a distinguishing characteristic in this lad is impossible for he has many. A warm smile, a joke for every occasion, and lopping strides are characteristic of his easy going manner. But peek into the gym during the basketball season and you will see an amazing transformation, for he explodes. His work with a basketball is legend. His path is still in a fog but at the present it seems to be destined for the Navy. Woman would be more charming if one could fall into her arms without falling into her hands. iNa RUSSELL EDWARD MILLER Russ” FFA 1, 2, 3, Vice President 4. The screech of tires and the steady roar of an engine winding out” can always be associated with Russ. It is seldom that he flies without a co-pilot in the personage of a blond, brunette, or a redhead. His course has not been laid, but somewhere there’s a niche for such a rabid auto fan. Full of a sweet indifference.”
