NUNZIO CELONA “Zatz” Nunzi is the “manual arts whiz” of our class, as seen by the many prize pieces he has made for his own home. We all remember “Zatz” for his prize Ford, “Liz- zie,” which has transported many of his classmates on unforgettable ventures. “Zatz” has been a member of the Glee Club for four years and we all know his valuable bass voice will be missed next year. Nunzi plans to enter the field of carpentry work and will enroll in the fall session at the Worcester Boys’ Trade School. Tennis 3, 4, Track 2, 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4.
