Joseph Edward Ciciotte The smile that won ' t come off. Joe, as he is better known, is one of the most popular boys in the class, and is never seen without a smile and a cheery Howdy for all. A sharp dresser, and having a wonderful disposition, he has made many a female heart in C. H. S. go pitter-patter. Despite his great popularity and wide host of friends, Joe has nevertheless remained quiet, modest, and unassuming. He is well-liked by teachers as well as pupils, and is sure to find success in whatever vocation he selects. Although Joe ' s ambition is not known at this writing, the best wishes of the Class of ' 51 go with him.

Doc, as he is called by all his classmates, hails from Berlin. We consider ourselves lucky having Doc with us. He is always eager to help his friends in whatever way he possibly can and he has a cheerful Hello ' for everyone he meets. This friendliness has increased his popularity with classmates and teachers. In addition to his fine qualities and good looks, he has a sparkling personality. Doc is an ardent football fan. He is never missing from any of the games and can be seen cheering his team on to victory. Although Doc has not revealed his plans for the future we, the Class of ' 51, wish him success. Tau Sigma; History Circle; Football 2. Richard Flynn Cogswell Success travels on the heels of every right effort . This contented countenance is that of Richard Cogswell, whose beaming personality has won for him many friends. Although Dick never participated in sports, he was one of our great sports enthusiasts and his cheering has helped win many a game. He studies well, does quite a bit as his marks will show, but we don ' t want you to get the idea that he spends all his time on his lessons, for that is far from the truth. Really popular with the fair sex, Dick was voted Most Romantic. Need we say more? Dick plans to enter Holy Cross College in the fall and with him goes the best wishes of the Class of 51.

Walter Joseph Burke “There ' s nothing at all that worries me. There need be no introduction to Walt who is well-known to everyone as a happy- go-lucky personable fellow. Walt’s wit has brightened more than one dull day and his smile is one which cannot be effaced. Outside school he may be seen cruising around town in his station wagon giving a vigorous wave to everyone as he passes by. Walt is one of our most ardent sports enthusiasts and may be seen at all the games. His plans for the future are idefinite but whatever he undertakes the Class of ' 51 knows his success is inevitable. Good luck, Walt.

Jerry, was ever ready to lend his untold talents to make any school show a success. Jerry is well-known and well- liked because of his magnetic personality, and laugh-provoking repartee. He has proved himself a true and loyal friend, one well worth having. Jerry has a keen ear for music and may frequently be seen guiding a member of the fairer sex skillfully across the dance floor. He could always look care and worry straight in the eye and still retain his wonderful, ever-present sense of humor. Jerry hasn ' t enlightened us regarding his plans for the future, but our heartfelt best of luck goes with him.

When it came to passing out the talents, Mario got more than the usual allotment. First, let us mention his talent for the piano which, with his willingness to study for seven years, has made him quite a master of the ebonies and ivories. In his school work, he has been on the Honor Roll for the past four years. For leisure, he keeps up with his hobbies of fishing, boating, and walking with his two pet dogs. As for future plans, Fitchburg State Teachers College is his destination arid we, the Class of 1951, send our heartiest wishes for success with him.

John, tall, dark, and happy dispositioned, has won himself a place as a regular fellow through his friendly manner and great sportsmanship. His interest in sports is very great and he can always be seen at all sports events. He takes everything in stride and allows nothing to bother him. But do not be deceived by this, for he has all the traits necessary to success and he uses them to the greatest advantage. Whatever career claims him, we know that he will always carry the best wishes of the Class of 51. History Circle; Tau Sigma.

Success to Alan from the Class of 1951. Tau Sigma; History Circle; Prom Committee; Baseball 4. Marlene Ann Crowley Gentle and small and well beloved by all. Marlene is a petite miss who hails from the North End. She is captain of our cheer- leaders, and her leadership left little to be desired. Besides doing this she takes a great interest in all sports, especially baseball, her favorite team being the Boston Braves. Mar, being very popular among her classmates, has seldom missed any of the school activities. Although she has never taken a great interest in schoolwork she has always managed to achieve good standing with her classmates. Mar has no definite plans for the future but the Class of 51 wishes her the best of luck in anything that she may undertake.

' ' Leon — the math wizard, the jovial wit, the affable lad — has left definite footprints on the C. H. S. sands. He is an excellent student, and has kept his name high on the testimonial list throughout his four years in hi gh school. One of his favorite pastimes is playing baseball for C. H. S. When spring bursts forth he proves to be successful in this sport. In college, we suspect that Leon will meet successfully all the W. P. I. ' s high standards of scholarship.
