Aero Club (3), Club President (4), Comet, Staff Photographer (41, Stagecraft Club 4 . Pioneer, Photography Editor 4). “Morsey” has been chief engineer of the school broadcasting system this year and, of course, has been blamed for the squeaks and squeals and rumblings that have at times floated into the classrooms. Between radio and photography he has been kept busy but he has managed to find time to get to the airport frequently just to keep up on the “latest in aeronautieg. “Morsey” plans to study engineering and then train in the Navy Air Corps.

STEPHANIA STELLA ORMANCHUCK “Sophie” A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Sewing Club (1), Field Hockey (2), Baseball (3), Homemaking (4). “Sophie” has the distinction of being able to combine a rare good nature with a rare fiery temper if you can figure how she does it.

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!

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]

EAST HAVEN THE PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL ELSIE KATHERINE PEACH “Peaches “Joyful and happy I go my way. Basketball (1), Glee Club (1) (4), Senior Dramatic Club (4), Cheer Leader (4). If cheering could win a basketball game, “Peaches” would have a long list of victories chalked up to her credit, for she performed her cheer-leading with vim and vigor. “Peaches” seems a suitable nickname for her always cheerful, always gay. always right there when there’s anything to do. Her hobbies are sports and dancing, and her ambition, to be a private secretary. ARTHUR WHITNEY PORTER “An “All I have to do is stir up my ambition. Dramatic Club (1), History Club (2), Swimming Club (4), Chess and Checker Club (4). “Art” is an easy-going, fun-loving fellow to whom study is merely a pastime. His “why-worry” attitude has won him many friends. We hope “Art” will achieve success in his ambition to become a world-champion chess player. Although it does require some thought, we think he can do it. Lots of luck to you, “Art.” FRANK JOHN POSKUS “Hot High ambition—to fly high. Pole Vaulting and Track Team (1) (2t (3), Athletic Club (4). An all-around athlete, Frank finds time to participate in golf, football, hunting, fishing, and hockey. His outstanding work as a member of the track team, where he specialized in pole vaulting, and his ambition to become an aviator prove that the law of gravity cuts no ice with him. Happy landings, Frank! ELENE ELIZABETH RAMSEY “Nibbs” Eat, drink, and be merry.” Ping Pong (2) (3), Traffic Squad (4), Glee Club (4). Helene is one of those girls who just loves to have a good time. She is loads of fun herself and finds it very easy to appreciate others. Her particular hobbies are dancing and swimming.

Baseball (2), Literary Advisory Board (4t, Cafeteria Management (4), Dramatic Club (4), Class Day Committee f4). “Raye” hopes to become a teacher, and we’re sure she’ll handle such a position nobly if she continues to be as clever at it as she has been in English class during this past year. A mermaid in swimming, a “shot” in basketball, a “wow” at tap dancing, but still a novice at ping pong! Don’t w'orry, “Raye” Rome wasn’t built in a day, you know! C 28 ]
