 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.

 Jtc£ s i4ts TS nu et', i Sv- SHIRLEY FRANCES PAULSEN 20 Edendale Street A sunny smile and a cheery disposition have made Frannie well liked by everyone. Fran has been a recipient of Junior Honors; Secretary, Vice-President, and Treasurer of Areopagitica: Secretary of the Junior Class; General Chairman of the Banquet; a War Chest Speaker; and a member of The Senior Executive Board. Mr. Clancey and Mr. Williams, whom she assisted, think she will make an excellent secretary. FLORENCE ELEANOR PELCHER 44 Morgan Street Light haired Florence's serene and friendly manner have made her the wise choice of her comrades for the XIIB and XIA Class Social Committees. Florence's poise and graciousness will be an asset to any firm wishing a social secretary. FLORENCE IRMA PERLOWITZ 1160 Dwight Street Although Flo's ambitious nature precipitated her into work after school, she also found time to serve in the Knitting Club, as a Squad Leader, as a member of the XB Social Committee, and as a Caduceus agent. ANTOINETTE TITA PITEO 43 Margaret Street Amiable, good-hearted Tita, bubbling with Joviality, represents the happier side of class life. As Homeroom Reporter in XB, she proved that school has its gayer moments. She would make an ideal Army nurse, constantly bolstering the morale of the ill or injured soldiers. ELEANOR AMBER PLOUFF 84 Homestead Blvd., Longmeadow Tiny, vivacious Plouffy. known by all for her lovely sing- ing voice, has often added her bit to assemblies, Graduation Exer- cises. and the Commerce Capers, not only by participation in the Girls' Glee Club and choir, but also by piano solos. Eleanor also has been active as XA Homeroom Vice-President, XIA Vice-President of the Interschool Nisimaha, and as a Caduceus agent. DORIS ETTA PORTER 321 % Taylor Street Will Doris ever overcome her tendency to blush? This ability may have been the incentive for her hobby, that of painting blush- ing beauties. Doris's interest in art made her the Chairman repre- senting Commerce in the Incorporate of Fine Arts. When not drawing, Doris could be found straightening out her G. 0. accounts as Home- room Agent or attending a Kumtux meeting. ARLINE BEATRICE PUTNAM 5 Revere Street, East Longmeadow Attractive Arl's love of sports has been shown by her membership in the Modern Dance Group. Squad Leaders, and the Girls' Baseball team. We know that her ability to get along with people will be of real aid to Arline in the business world. STILLMAN ALOISE REED 122 Cambridge Street As a member of Radio Workshop, Still discovered the technique of handling loud clangings and variated squeaks in such a way to produce a conglomerate clamor, better known to Commerce students as sound effects. Practical joker as he is, Still can also bo serious as he has shown when working as a G. 0. and a Welfare Agent, and as a member of the Boys' Patrol.

 THELMA SCHREIBER 170 Franklin Street Anyone seeing Thelma would instantly notice her beautiful black, wavy hair and very long, black eyelashes, the envy of all her classmates. Attractive Thelma was an usherette for the Christmas Assembly, and a member of the Commerce Bulletin Board Staff. ROSLYN ELUMA SCHWARTZ 47 Unsing Place Roz's blithe attitude toward difficulties has been the envy of her worry-wart classmates. Although a member of the Girls' Patrol, and News Editor of Commerce , she still has found spare time to be obliging to her schoolmates. EILEEN AGNES SCULLY 18 Van Buren Avenue Eileen's shining Irish eyes proclaim her determination to enjoy each task she undertakes. Eileen has fulfilled her tenacity of purpose in her work as a Student Librarian. PHYLLIS RUTH SHAPIRO 397 Birnie Avenue She's as quiet as a mouse; yet everyone knows when Phyll is around, for actions speak louder than words. Always willing to undertake any task, forever on the alert for something new, Phyll has made a good reporter for Commerce . ROBERT JOSEPH SHEA 54 Cherrelyn Street Even though he puts things off as long as possible, you cannot call a person irresponsible who, like Bob, has served well on the Boys' Patrol, Caduceus Bulletin Board, Commerce Staff, and the G. 0. Drive! The Hi-Y and our Baseball team also have been aided by Bob. CORINNE MARY SHOREY 543 Carew Street Blonde, good-natured Corinne has been dividing her time between her work as a Senior G. 0. Auditor, a Bulletin Board Staff member, and a writer of the Class Will. Corinne also has taken part as usherette. ARNOLD LARENSO SILVESTRI 129 William Street Quiet in the halls, but not on the basketball floor, like- able Arnold will be missed at Commerce. After his track training, Sonny should be able to keep track of his accounting. Football also has taught him many tactics, which he may have used when a member of tho Boys' Patrol. MINNIE ESTHER SMALL 62 Rifle Street Minnie's quiet and studious attitude, in strong contrast to her love of dancing, has been a very real inspiration to those of us who cannot concentrate. C KMU
