JOSEPH MITCHELL Joe is a big husky fellow who plans to enter the Navy. Farm work has occupied most of his time outside of school, but he has managed to play on the junior varsity football team and to spend a few hours on the basketball court. His pleasant disposition, which has made him well liked at school, insures him of future success. PAUL MOGELINSKI Here is one of the few boys in the class who do not speak much unless they have something to say. The fact that he lives many miles from school, in Sunderland, has not pre- vented Paul from participating in athletics. Known as Rusty to his close friends, he has become,ras a senior, a star player on the basketball team. ALFRED MONTAGUE Alfred is a farmer boy, who has delighted in skipping school every fall to display his prize cattle at the county fa.irs. Although usually modest in school, Alfred has made up for his reserve outside of school hours. An active member of the Hi-Y in school, Alfred especially enjoys hunting and fishing after the closing bell has rung. WALTER MURASZKA This quiet and pleasant chap commutes from a farm in South Amherst. Although inconspicuous for a long time, Walter really has blossomed out in his senior year by at- tending dancing class and by making the basketball team. Much interested in photography he has joined Mr. Swift's camera and projectionist clubs. Teachers will remember Wal- ter as a polite and industrious student. Twenty-Six THE GOLD BUG

JOHN MC KEMMIE John commutes from a farm in South Amherst. Perhaps this fact explains why he has had little time for extracurricular activities. He has shown no extraordinary joy in school work, but he enjoys unpacking paper, doing errands for Miss Dick- inson, and anything else, but class. There something about John that we all like a great deal. MARY MC KENNA This girl is another late comer to Amherst High, she en- tered in the fall of 1942. Mary has chosen to follow the commercial course since she is interested in secretarial work for her future career. She is especially fond of dancing and has been a member of the Country Dance Club. Mary, always ambitious, has joined the production unit of the Victory Corps. DONALD MC KENNEY Don has resisted the urge to leave school to go into the service. He has been active in the Hi-Y and in Mr. Myrick's Student Corps. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, he has been popular with both teachers and students. With Don around there is usually plenty of excitement and fun. WALTER MIENTKA Walter is one of the smaller fellows in our class. He has been busy as a member of the Student Corps and has enjoyed the Country Dance Club. Although he likes his part-time work at a filling station, Walt hopes to continue his studies at Massachusetts State College next year. Perhaps his outstand- ing characteristics are his genuine good nature and his per- petual smile. C L A S S 1 9 4 3 TwentY'FiVe

WILLIAM NAVASINSKI Another one of those Sunderland boys is Bill Navasinski, better known as Navaho',. Bus schedules have prevented this fellow from being active in extra-curricular activities, but he is said to be quite a Romeo in the Sunderland social world. Bill also has the distinction of being one of the two or three blondes in our class. YOLANDA NEWPORT Yolanda is one girl who can be depended upon to go out for all girls' sports. Basketball, soccer, softball, and volley- ball have occupied her time. In oral reports no one can stray from the subject like Yolanda. Because she excels in drawing and painting, art is one of her favorite subjects. Her out- standing trait is her pleasant and jovial disposition. BENJAMIN PAGE With a joke on the tip of his tongue and a smile on his face Benjamin Harlan Page, Jr., trips through the halls. A firm disbeliever in all things serious, he manages to convert his friends to his ideas. Without this pint-sized edition of mas- culinity, Amherst High would certainly be missing a definite atmosphere . EARL PEASE During his high school career, Buster has been a sports' enthusiast. He has played football for two years, and has twice been on the track team. To round out four sporting years, he has been the efficient manager of the basketball team. Buster is happiest beating a drum at square dances. He hopes to become an aviation mechanic. Bus is one good sport. C L A S S 1 9 4 3 Twenty-Seven
