MOST COOPERATIVE ROOM, 115 The sewing room, 115, headed by most skillful Miss White, presents a co-operative atmosphere created by the various members. Petite Betty Bonavita, efhicient G. O. Agent and President, known for her ability to procure 100% collection records, has contributed most to the home room. perfect Marjorie Allan makes an excellent home room model. Posture- Louise Capozza, as home room chatterbox, holds the position of gossip reporter, an office requiring strong vocal cords; while the quietest, Theresa Albano, usually listens. Mar- garet Cadigan and Joan Byrne both vie for the title of | home room jokester, since each is always ready with some witty ad lib. Always willing to be amiable is the friendliest, Jennie Brackinisky. The home room brain is well repre- sented by quiet Lorraine Candage, a member of the Pro Merito Society. Well known for her exceptional talent on the accordion is the home room musician, Sara Mastroianni. The co-operation of the other members has also been essential toward the success of the group.

Most Caued Jalent In athletic Tony Verducci you can almost read Why he was chosen most likely to succeed. As best all-around boy, he contributed most, And his wide-spread popularity is our top boast. Personality kid and most popular Elsie was found; Also greatest contributor and best all-around. The most pleasing smile, all hearts to entwine, Belongs to Sally Hathaway, Miss Commerce, '49. Ann Giustina, who’s done many a deed, Was chosen the girl most likely to succeed. Selma Riskalla—her knowledge makes us whirl— Was chosen by all as most studious girl. Far different from Eleanor Cocchi, our shy, quiet pearl, Is hectic Joan Andreis, that most talkative girl. Two boys were tied in the shy-boy show; One of these is Robert J. Filiault. Because she has plenty of zeal and zest, Lena Giuggio was chosen as noisiest. More Surprises m Room 113 Mr. Walker, friendliest in 113, supervises this prize-pack- age room, which holds many surprises. For example, the most colorful member proves to be Thelma Dunsmoor— [ 24 ] Senior—Room 113 REAR ROW—Jean Welch, Karagan Setian, Nancy Pino, Harriet Rispler, Dor- othy Jansizian Gloria Ber- gamini, Sally Hathaway, Gloria Mencarelli, Georgia Sapia. . . .

Dot Jansizian, music lover; and Gladys Halcup and Linda Ghadeian, harmonious harborers of the secret ambition of becoming famed pianists, appear to be the most musical. Home room athletes are lively Barbara Young and Karagin Setian. Betty Zawacki, the most adventurous, hopes to travel to faraway places. Planning identical careers are the most foresighted, Clara Jean Gaimari, Margie Ma- succi, and Jean Welch; all intend to join the WAVES. Wouldn't the face of the best-looking gal, Beverly Gokey, aid her in a screen career? The most truthful duo consists of Gloria Mencarelli and Emily Cwieka: Gloria asserts her pastime is sleeping, while Emily admits she “does act silly at times. ’ Most humane, Janet Garatti, will wear a nurse’s uniform; and Catherine Roberts, that of a dental technician. Four girls appear to be the most ambitious: Janet Vetrulli, aspirant for a literary career; dark Georgia Sapia, that of accountant; Irene Kras, a lawyer; and Helen Przybyla, a secretary, after a further education at Bay Path. Choosing to become a housewife is Dolores Garutti, who bears the title of home room homemaker. Sheila Borek and Gloria Bergamini, with their pleasing personalities, are the most enjoyable. Harriet Rispler, as home room seamstress, pos: sesses the gift of sewing. Because she enjoys dancing, Nancy Pino proves to be the most graceful. This room is indeed composed of many surprises. Don’t you agree?

Tho Seniors’ Choice Mary Ann Funai is entitled teachers’ pet, For when real help is needed, Mary’s their best bet. To follow a career, she says will be just grand; Our own class spinster, then, is Dolores Forand. He can paint; he can draw; he can sketch or design; August Beucke, class artist, is best in that line. Who's up to see the sunset, and the sunrise, too? Rita Flanagan, class night owl, is it really you? Terry Agloupas, politician and talkiest. Were he to be silent, he’d that much detest. Marilyn Francis, cutest girl, Could make the stoniest heart to whirl. Anthony Iacolo tied for shyest boy; Maybe some day he won’t be so coy. MOST FUN-LOVING ROOM, 124 Although students of most efficient Miss Dowd’s room are taught that the world runs on schedule, each has his own conception as to how his time should be spent. Easiest to please, Donald Dusseault, verifies the fact that he is not too fussy. The most ambitious, quiet Claire McCarthy, hopes to be a reporter, while Mary Lionakis plans to pursue the hair- dressing profession. Merely dreaming of graduation is the home room optimist, Mary Jane Frappier; while the least [ 26 ] Senior—Room 124 REAR ROW-—Donald Dusseault, Mark Hackett, Claire McCarthy, John Gowrie, Irene Malinowski, Anthony Iacolo, Ralph Beaudry, Frederick Abrahms, August Beucke, Richard Dyba.

Home room musicians, Mary Mauri and talkative John Gabinetti, ex- press a love for music. Those with the most peculiar nick- names are carefree Marilyn Lord, called ““Mousemeat”; and timid Shirley Merriam, incongruously entitled “Slow Death.” Possessing the neatness vital to a successful stenographer, makes Shirley Ellis the cutest girl. Alice and Salpie Meli- kien, the girls with the fanciest appetites, find delight in dreaming of their favorite dish, “Kabab.” Bestowed upon fun-loving John Gowrie is the title of most carefree boy. Youngest, Irene Malinowski; easiest-going, Ida Mazzei, and most talkative, Dolores Maggio, agree on one topic, their opinions of the new look: “It’s OK, if not overdone.” Also supporting this extreme change in fashion are the most fem- inine, Ann Fenn; and friendliest, Arlene Melnick. Accord- ing to the girls, reserved Mark Hackett is the most mysterious boy. Award of the title of fastest typist was earned by con- genial Anne Lovechio, contest winner, The most charming member is represented by Delia Longhi. Roseanne Duquette, treasurer and G. O. Agent has contributed most toward the home room. (Room 124 completed following 216A, page 27)
