THE QUIVER 17 MARY DEMARA A lady richly clad is she. And beautiful exceedingly. Strikingly different—beauty, charm, refinement, personality and poise are just a few of Mary's magnetic qualities. Mary's ability to dance, entertain, and to excel in all sports, accounts for much of her popularity. Mary’s stunning clothes are the last word in chic” from her ultra modern haircut to her small Parisian evening sandals. Wherever she is, Mary is usually in the center of a throng of admirers and no wonder, did you ever see her blue.eyes sparkle when she flashes that irresistible smile? Success in your future undertakings, Mary—of the sweet and captivating way,—from the class of '32.

EARLE DEMERS “Blue eyes and curly brown hair, No other can with him compare. As one of the handsomest boys of the class Earle is very popular with the opposite sex. But very confidentially, don't you think “blondes are preferred? Earle is quite a chemistry shark, especially if he is working with Babe. He is expected to enter Norwich University and then the class of '32 can claim an army officer. As he is always dressed in the height of fashion for men, he is a “reg'lar Beau Brummel. His outstanding characteristics are a frank and jovial nature, a willingness to work (and work hard), an unflagging loyalty to his friends, and a determination to suceed in whatever he undertakes. Athletic Council (2) (3) (4), Student (2) (3), Class Treasurer (2), Junior Prom (3), Track (3), Nu Sigma Nu JAMES DEMERS “Popularity plus versatility Equals 'Jimmie's' personality. “Jimmie needs no introduction, as his splendid athletic career has certainly added laurels to Woonsocket's athletic crown. He has been honored in his last year by serving as the captain of the football team. Statistics prove that the number of the “fairer sex attending the basketball games has increased eighty-three per cent since “Jimmie appeared on the court. To those who know him well, he presents a colorful and amiable nature, w-hich, however, cannot surpass his ability to hold friends. Wherever “Jimmie continues his studies, he will show them a few things about playing football.

YVONNE DESJARDINS “With face demure and eyes downcast. Here we have a modest lass. And that certainly applies to our Yvonne! She loves surprises and has the distinction of being another of our small girls. Her beautiful dark-brown eyes have been commented upon often. And, folks, she has another quality—that of being the quietest. We are sure that Yvonne will never become a mathematician or an algebra shark, but we hear that she intends to become a nurse. We are certain you will succeed, Yvonne! The class of '32 wishes you success. Glee Club ( 4 ).

16 THE QUIVER (iKPj4e veKiO eyae Qeyi)( ( (i vQ p v(weya( eya( seyz DAVID DANIELS “Here is the hoy with the 'bag of surprises,’ He dotes on all things in spite of their sizes. Dave is the hoy with latent ability. He surprised us when he got several of his test papers hack: he received the highest mark in several examinations. According to reliable sources ( David Daniels, Esq), “Dave is quite a salesman. He is often mistaken for Paul Whitman, because of his smile, good nature, and the other characteristics of the King of Jazz. Dave is also admired for his brown, curly hair, and his neat manner of dressing. Dave intends to go to some advanced school next year, and then enter into the business world. So long 'Dave'. Dramatic Club (2), Band (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). KENNETH DARLING Here comes our tall man, 'Ken,' Who spends much time reading in his den. Kenneth is the boy with the broad smile and the “trick laugh. He is the mechanical genius of the class, and figuratively speaking, he speaks, eats, and sleeps mechanics. Kenny's favorite occupation is to give a discourse on the working of the various parts of a machine. He and his friends spend a great deal of time expressing their views on the latest inventions. The opposite sex has little attraction for him, so it is said, but we are doubtful. Next year, “Kenny intends to enter Rhode Island College, and take up engineering. Good luck, Kenny. Glee Club (4). JOHN DeANGELIS John always wants to know the 'why's' and 'wherefore's' So he receives responses with facts and 'therefore's’. John is one of the few shy boys who are left. It is no exaggeration to say that John is really afraid of girls because his demeanor proves that conclusively. But however bashful John may be with the girls, he proves his mettle on the football field. He was indispensable to the team and performed his share of the work very creditably. John does not care much for basketball, we notice. John’s hair will never stay combed, but that only makes him the more admired by the ladies. John has not told us what he intends to do after graduation, but he is such a steady, dependable worker that his success is assured even before graduation. Senior Play Committee (4), Football (3) (4), Inter-class Basketball (3), Track (3) (4), Junior Play (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). DORIS DECELLES Always ready to serve. Never from her course does she swerve. Doris is a tall, slim girl with an ever-ready smile and an o. k. for a slogan which shows her willingness and assent to help others not so skilled in puzzling out intricate interest problems or the like in bookkeeping, in which so many commercial students meet their Waterloo! Yes, that's Doris! Skating is one of her favorite sports. Wonder whether she cuts figures as fancy in skating as those she does in bookkeeping? However, for the sake of auld lang syne, we'll drink a cup of happiness and wish you the best of luck in any of your future ventures. Candy Committee (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4).

Besides attaining good marks in his studies, Frank has taken part in athletics. His ability as a football player has brought him some very close friends. There was rarely a game in which he did not give his best. We wonder why Frank is so enthusiastic about cheering—we know that he keeps perfect time with the cheerleader.
