OLGA ANN COMINI 52 Wilcox Street Raven-haired Olga's sparkling personality will be a decided asset to her in the future. Her eagerness to lend a helping hand made her Treasurer of Circolo Dante and an enthusiastic member of Miss Libby's band of librarians. Tiny Olga looked lost in our big library. CARMELLA MARIE COMPANO 934 Berkshire Avenue, Indian Orchard Carmella has very often been compared with a mechanical toy; she's all wound up, but never seems to run down! She became a member of the Nisimaha Club, and acted as on usher for the graduation of the class of 1942. If you decide to give a party, Carmella would be glad to help you plan your fun. GEORGE PAUL COOK 59 High Street Although seemingly quiet. Cookie has been a Class Repre- sentative, a member of the Boys' Patrol, and has ployed on the Baseball and Basketball teams. George's real interest, however, lies outside of these activities. His heart belongs to music— especially to drumming. At Commerce he was the drummer for Pina- fore and American Fantasia . What's your goal, Cookie, Kruppa's equal? RUTH COOPER 188 Commonwealth Avenue Ruth would love nothing better than lounging: yet she has encountered many interruptions from Le Foyer, Radio Workshop, Caduceus , and the First Aid Class. Ruthie also sacrificed her love of loafing when she worked for the Christmas and the Civics Assembly Programs, as an Usher, a Homeroom Reporter, in the XB Fashion Show, and on two Senior Committees. DORIS PAULINE CORMIER 30 Commonwealth Avenue Whenever Doris is around, laughter is sure to abound! Smiling Dot has been a member of the Banquet Ticket Committee and of the Nisimaha Club. She has been a Squad Leader, and an usher at a P. T. A. meeting and the Christmas Assembly Program After-school store work seemed to increase her genuine love of people. HILDA MARGARET CUMMING 20 Vermont Street Hilda has crammed all she possibly could into her school days. Besides singing in the Glee Club and being in the Squad Leaders and Modern Dance group, she has won C's and her G. A. A. Pin for hockey, soccer, basketball, and baseball. To fill her time, Hilda has been a member of Nisimaha, the Girls' Patrol, and Commerce and Caduceus Staffs. Not a wasted minute for Hilda! SHIRLEY RUTH CUTTING 92 Miller Street Shirley's beautiful penmanship, which won her a certificate, proved its value when she was called upon to address invitations for the January and June Class Promenade and Banquet. Shirley has been a member of the Student Library Service and an usher at a Class Dance. EDA ANNE DANIELE 254 Hancock Street Such lively spirit and animation as one sees reflected in Eda's eyes is characteristic of her participation in the First Aid Class, Christmas Assembly Program, the Radio Workshop, and Promenade and Banquet Committees. Gay, too. was her work as G. 0. Agent, Student Librarian, and Co-chairman of ushering for the Christmas Assembly.

GEORGE LEROY CALLAHAN 116 Walnut Street Cal, our popular President, has been Editorial Editor of Commerce , and Vice-President and Secretary of the Junior Hi-Y. George has displayed his usual versatility during Education Week, in the A Capella Choir, and in baseball, basketball, soccer, and football. Besides serving on many social committees, our famous president was prominent in the Boys’ Patrol and Senior Hi-Y MARY ITALIA CAMPOFREDANO 38 Olive Street Now watch me closely! Cark-eyed Squad Leader Mary has repeated this command so often that we feel she should make an excellent gym. teacher. Mary is ford of dancing: so she volunteered her services on the XIA Dance Committee. THERESA MARIE CATALANO 127 Thompson Street Her sweet voice and gentle manner have endeared Theresa to the heart of many a Commerce classmate. Tessy’s shy, yet winning, smile is more appealing than those of many of her more boisterous classmates. PAULINE CHRISTOS 2051 Main Street Robust Pauly has wholeheartedly enjoyed basketball, for which she received her C ; Co-rec: the Class Day Committee; Assemblies; and the Student Library Service. Only once did Pauly step out of character: when she played the calm, quiet mother in The Typical American Home . MARGARET JEANETTE CLARK 152 Bowles Street Our fencing champion has learned how to handle the foils at Commerce; so it was no surprise to us when she won the Hartford Fencing Meet. Eager to be active. Margaret has enjoyed collecting G. 0. and Camera Club dues, horseback riding, roller skating, ushering, serving in the library, belonging to the Le Foyer Club, and taking pictures for Caduceus . TOULA C0K0TIS 58 Linden Street The most stubborn of buyers will weaken when Toula flashes her infectious smile and speaks in her quiet voice. Always ready to help, Toula responded to the call for Student Librarians. They say book worms prefer the dark, but we believe even they have enjoyed Toula’s sunny disposition. HAROLD J. COLEMAN 223 High Street Harold, best known for his bagpipe playing, has been President of the XIA class and of the Junior Hi-Y. He represented Hi-Y in the Western Mass. Conference and in the Older Boys’ Con- ference at Brockton. Jock, besides serving on many socials, was Business Manager of Caduceus , a member of the Boys’ Patrol, the A Capella Choir, and participant in the War Chest Program and of many dramatic presentations. RUTH LILLIAN COLEMAN 36 Melbourne Street Mischievous, Jovial, and often in wrong with her teachers, Ruth has found her tongue to be a dependable comrade in times of war—War of Imminent Detention. She has talked herself happily into battle and as easily has talked herself out of trouble. Her interest as a Squad Leader and in apparatus work has been a happy outlet for Ruth. I

No, never! Her pleasing personality and grand sense of humor have made her a friend to all. As she especially enjoys helping others, she has served as a Student Librarian, and as a member of the Senior Decoration Committee. CELIA ELIZABETH DENTON 53 Howard Street Although especially devoted to Uncle Sam's fighting forces, Celia still has found time for membership in the Riding Club, the Squad Leaders, Nisimaha, and the Crimson Masquers. An unexpected interest in books seemed to be indicated by her very efficient service in both the School and tho Home Management Libraries. No one yet has solved that puzzle! ARGENTINA CAMILLIA DE PILATO 20 Norman Street A real sports enthusiast, Argie has participated in many after-school sports. Her Girls' Sports column in Commerce”, her lively co-operation in the Circlo Dante Club, on the Lunch Room Squad, and as Caduceus agent, have given Argie much well-earned praise. Argie also has served on the XIIA Executive and Promenade Committees. EDYTHE E. DeVALL 67 Kensington Avenue Edythe is, supposedly, a quiet person, but those who really know her say she is quite the opposite. Her little tongue is never still. Talk it must, and talk it will. Edythe has especially enjoyed the activities of the Junior Outing Club, of which she has been an enthusiastic member. BEATRICE AGATHA DICKSON 34 Tyler Street Music-loving Dickie, who has belonged to the Orchestra and has been on the Ticket Committee of the Music Festival, wants to be. strangely enough, not a music critic, not a member of an orchestra, but a comptometer operator! Well, vocations as well as avocations must be considered in these war times. ARMOREN DONIGIAN 16 Beauregard Street, Indian Orchard As neatness is one of Amoren's chief assets, we were not surprised to see her in a Fashion Show assembly. Some day we expect to find her a buyer in one of the country's largest clothing stores. Any chance of discounts to class members, Armoren? ROBERT LEO DONNELLY 32 Ralph Street Good-natured Bob has attained two of the highest goals a boy can achieve in Commerce. He has been a member of the Hi-Y and of the Boys' Patrol. Although small in build. Bob was speedy enough to make the Football team, on which he played guard. ELIZABETH McCOLL DOW 403 Orange Street Lost, in the vicinity of Commerce, one short, sandy-haired girl, conspicuous for a winning smile and a sprinkle of freckles. Quiet-mannered and very soft-footed, sho will answer to the name of Betty. When last seen she was attending a meeting of the Ban- quet Committee. Any clues? ImWH
