EAST HAVEN THE PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL HARRY DANIEL KIERNAN Music hath charms. Astronomy Club (1), Orchestra (4), Chess and Checker Club (4), Orchestra (4). This gifted young musician plays not only in the school orchestra, but in a dance orchestra on the side as well. He is said to be able to tackle a piano with his eyes blindfolded and one hand tied behind his back and “floor” it in two minutes with the “Twelfth Street Hag.” Harry plans to study in Maryland next year, by way of fulfilling his desire to become a dentist. With a musical accompaniment. Harry? MARJORIE JOAN LIEDKE “Marge Serene and contented she goes her way. And cares not what the world may say. Library Club (1), Bowling Club (4), Homemaking Club (4). Marjorie! Quiet, reserved, yet a good sport with a sense of humor. Piano playing anti walking take up most of her spare time—but a busy high school student has little spare time. Marjorie plans to become a hairdresser of the first quality she should go a long way toward her goal! FRED GEORGE LENDROTH “Swigs The wisest man could ask no more of fate than to he simple, modest, manly and true. Glee Club (4 , Pioneer, Art Editor (4». This tall, modest, and handsome youth is the class artist. He is an extremely likable person with a permanent smile, which, when the occasion warrants it and when it doesn’t too, assumes such immense proportions that he is unable to control it. Fred tells us that when he was a small boy, he fell three stories without injuring himself. So! Better stick to art rather than to tall stories, Fred! MARY LUCILLE LUONGO “Mare y A good scout and a perfect lady. Etiquette Club (1), Girl Reserves (2). Dramatic Club (1) (4). Although one of our more silent classmates, Mary is, nevertheless, very-active physically and mentally. For her swimming is “tops” in the field of sports. Mary first acquired the reading habit back in Gerrish School. Today she likes nothing better than to read a good book, or to listen to fine music. Mary wants to be a department store buyer, and we all wish her the best of luck! LORRAINE MacARTHUR “Mac A jolly, all-round girl is she. And athletics are her specialty. olleyball ('ll (31 (4), Baseball (ll. Glee Club (ll (2), Swimming Team (1) (2) f3), Ping Pong (3), Basketball (1) (2) (4). Traffic Squad (1) (4). Dramatic Club (4), Literary Advisory Board (4), Cheer Leader (4), Class Gift Committee (4). Personality plus—that’s “Mac”! Cheerful, happy-go-lucky, and lively, she is the embodiment of that indefinable something which all of us would like to possess. When she’s not “mischief making,” “Mac” settles down to show what she really can do in school and out proving that charm and intelligence do go hand in hand. She is proficient in sports—well equipped to pursue a career as a teacher of physical education. 12S1

EAST HAVEN THE PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL ELMER HERBERT JONES “Popeye” These l ooks on ‘how to win success Have left my problem all unsolved; They sound inspiring hut I find There’s always too much work involved.” Glee Club (1) (4), Assembly Chairman 1 , Traffic Squad (1) (2) (3), Chorus (4l. Cries of “There’s Elmer”—“Oh Elmer”—heard in our halls show us just how popular Elmer is—with the girls! Elmer’s hobbies, however, show that the field and stream interest him more than the fair sex—because he likes nothing better than camping and swimming. Elmer hopes to become a great singer and musician, and with the experience he has had here, he should succeed. EDWARD JOHN JAMES KARMAZYN “Streaky” He who strives will never fail.” Astronomy Club (1), Dancing Club (41. “Streaky” is a graduate of the Laurel Grammar School. He is a quiet, reserved boy, whose ambition is to work himself into a good job, presumably in a restaurant—since he is holding down a part-time job in one now. He has many hobbies, among them basketball, swimming, baseball, football, woodworking, and airplane modeling. All in all, he's a likable chap, and one who should get along. BERTHA ALICE KAWRA “Bunny” A witty girl, with lots of chccr— A laugh or smile when she is near.” Tennis tl). Homemaking Club (1) (2l, Baseball (2l, Field Hockey (2), Athletic (4). To be with “Bunny” is to forget your troubles—for there is never a dull moment when she is near. Her lively wit and her cheerful smile have helped to enliven many a dreary hour. Her sunny disposition should make her very popular with those who patronize her beauty salon. EDWARD KENNEY “Eddie” “Ed” Not that I dislike studying, hut I like fun hcttcr.” “Eddie” has a great sense of humor and enjoys cracking jokes of his own which aren’t haltH 5 yfle fe k'nown by his original swagger, impish grin, and tell-tale finger ta.allIs uort s. but has no specific line of activities, other than, as he says. trouMe? rl£3 undecided as to what he wants to do —but we bet it will be something gt od!

East Haven Players (4l, ('lass Poet (4 . “Marge” tells us that her ambition is to travel widely. The number of schools she has attended (sixteen in all 1 would seem to show that she has traveled plenty already. At East Haven she has had a hand in just about every activity high school offers. She “super excels” in dramatics, but contrary to the usual run of actresses, she has a scholastic record which points toward success in anything she may attempt. A business career? (Jo to it. Marge.

EAST HAVEN THE PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL WILLIAM MACLACHLAN “Scotty” “Life without sports is not life. Varsity Baseball (4). “Scotty resembles all boys in that he likes all kinds of outdoor sports. He is principally interested, however, in becoming a first-rate professional baseball player. He certainly should make good, for his height gives him an excellent advantage and he has been playing baseball throughout his high school years. May you “deliver” the goods, “Scotty”! JOHN ELLSWORTH MALE “Malic” “Why should I work ami make myself mad? Athletic Club (1), Track (2» (3), Rifle Team (3), Varsity Basketball (4). “Malie,” one of our varsity basketball players, has high ambitions. He wants to join the navy, not to see the world by way of the sea, but to see it by way of the air. Getting down to earth, Malie” likes to dance and to drive a car. To quote him—“My cars have dandy pickup; I generally average one blonde and two brunettes. Keep up your flying speed, kid! HELEN THERESE MALONE “Say not that she did well or ill, Only, ‘she did her best.’ ” Fashion Designing Club, Vice-President (It, Swimming Club (1), Student Advisory Board (2). World Affairs Club (3), Motion Picture Club (3), Bowling (3) (4), Golf f3), Debating Team (4), Comet, News Kditor (41, Pioneer. Editorial Board (4), Chorus (4), Basketball (4). East Haven Players 4 . Volleyball. Captain (41, Class Prophet (4 . Classbook Committee (4). Helen, the pride and joy of the class, has been such a busy person during her high school career dipping into this and that and doing a swell job every time! In spite of her willingness to participate in the more intellectual activities. Helen has still had time to be an ardent sports fan and to be “in” on all the current fun. At present her goal is college and from there she’ll go places! ALICE WHITBY MAWNEY “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Glee Club (4). Don't let the fact that Alice is one of our more reserved classmates fool you. She is not hard to get acquainted with, and once known, she remains an unchanging friend. She is going to write the great American novel some day after she has graduated from Duke University- and she may do a lot of singing, too, if her work in the Glee Club is any criterion. RICHARD LOUIS MILCHERT “Dick” “Take what is, trust what may be; That's life's true lesson.” Chemistry Club (1), Junior Hockey Team (3), Student Council (4), A. A. Chairman 4l. Comet. Business Board (4 , Class Day Committee f4). East Haven will certainly miss our champion salesman, “Dick”—especially on the advertising staff of the Comet. He’s a happy-go-lucky, good-natured fellow, always ready to join in on a good time—and equally ready to help put any school activity over “with a bang”! His weakness (have you guessed it?) is women. He literally slays them if you would believe what you hear. “Dick” plans to attend Connecticut State College. We’re for him! [26]
