CLAIRE GLORIA MORISI 94 Oklahoma Street Such dignity and poise as Claire possesses should not go unmentioned. Always gracious, she has contributed much to the repu- tation of our school.

ROBERT VICTOR OLLARI 34 Lombard Street For years Bob's recumbent form, stretched at full length in the Boys' Patrol chair, has uncoiled itself rapidly at the approach of anyone who ventured near his post without offering to show a pass.

VIRGINIA ELIZABETH O'NEIL 151 Sherman Street Lucky deserves her name, for she was lucky when chosen to participate in the Freshman Assembly and Christmas Festival, and to join Le Foyer, Outing Club, Girls' Patrol, Cap and Gown Committee, and the Commerce Bulletin Board Editors.

 ROSELLE REISNER 28 Fort Pleasant Avenue Roz's speaking voice has been praised by those who have heard her on the Radio Workshop, on the platform for the Community Chest drives, and during the John S. Young contests. Her ambition to be an actress will certainly be realized if looks, personality, and voice are of value. EMMA BLASE RESTAINO 768 Liberty Street Who will be Miss America of 1946? Were we choosing, she would be pretty Emma. Besides looking beautiful, Chic has been helpful as a librarian, and as an usherette for H. M. S. Pinafore . LILLIAN ELIZABETH REX 1215 Longmeadow Street, Longmeadow Quiet, soft-spoken Lil, with her sureness of manner, should make a valuable nurse. As proof of her capabilities, she has served as Treasurer and Vice-President of Kumtux, on the Girls' Patrol, the Class Basketball team, the Outing Club, the Freshman Reception, and in the School Library. Her early lust for a uniform no doubt accounts for her being a member of the Cap and Gown Committee. RITA GERTRUDE ROBERTS 18 Newman Street Rita's pug nose and mischievous expression have delighted everyone who has watched her puzzle over words in shorthand. But not everything puzzles Rita, for she has served well as Feature Editor for Commerce , and G. 0. Homeroom Agent. Athletics also have failed to disturb her; she has been a brilliant player on the Basketball, Class Basketball, Soccer, and Hockey teams. DOROTHY MYRA ROSSINI 83 Lebanon Streot Dottie uses an extensive vocabulary, an asset possessed by so few of us! Her interest in reading and in world news, has, no doubt, helped her to a great extent in many of her lessons. Can't you just imagine Dorothy as a book critic on the staff of the New York Times ? Even our class would read her reviews! BERNYCE ERNESTINE SAIDERA 273 Commonwealth Avenue Extremely cute, happy-go-lucky Bernie seldom has remained in school for a full day of her high school career. This is due to her leaving at 11:30 because of outside work. Bernie is one of those girls who love us and leave us—but her loyalty to Commerce has never faltered. THERESA ANN SANTANGELO 9 York Street Athletic ability in softball, volleyball, and class basket- ball. combined with dependability and cheerfulness, reveal the reason for Theresa's popularity. We predict that Theresa will become a well-known Commando Leader should her leisure time permit. ANNETTE SCHREIBER 84 Maryland Street Ann's dramatic ability has been expressed at the Athol Music Festival, and in plays given by the Glee Club and the Crimson Masquers. She has also shown her efficiency by providing interest- ing columns for the Commerce Bulletin Board, by working as a G. 0. Agent, a Home Management Librarian, and as a XIIB and XIIA Dance Committee member. Ann's versatile career also has included the Stamp and the Nisimaha Clubs.
