HAROLD FERRANDO The winds are out of breath pursuing him. Meet our combination of Fred As- taire, Mickey Rooney and George Mur- phy. When Pete begins swinging it on any dance floor, all the other couples seem to be at a standstill. In other words, Pete is tops when it comes to dancing. 1 GLORIA FITZPATRICK A heart most firm, a face ne'er blue. Gloria, our Irish colleen with the grand personality, possesses an innate ability to dress well. Besides coming to Emerson for the routine matter of an education, she apparently came to pioneer in the fashion world, for she is always setting new styles. Incident- ally, her popularity may be credited to her magnetic manner which has held many fascinated. FRED FIECHTER He whistles life away in perfect contentment. Fred likes anything athletic. His favorite sports are baseball and basket- ball, in both of which he is quite a skillful player. RITA FLORIO I A sight to dream of. This comely young lady personifies the spirit of liveliness. With her large brown eyes, long black hair, and multi- colored dresses, Rita is a pleasant sight for anyone to behold. Nineteen I 3... ' GLADYS FISK Life is not life at all without delight. Gladys tries to make herself incon- spicuous but her charming personality just will win out. One of her favorite pastimes is basketball, we sometimes wonder why. I . f I r I if I SHIRLEY FORSTER A dark-eyed winsome lass. When you see a raccoon coat glide down the street, you can be sure that Shirley is inside of it. ShirIey's ability to wear clothes is as noted as her love- ly smile and winning personality.

'i ADOLPH DESSOW A man of few words. The strong, silent type of gentleman. Turns as red as the proverbial beet when any one speaks to him about Viv. The odd part is that he doesn't blush when she talks to him. Oh, welll ANGELO DiDlO A shy face is better than a forward heart. The man who came to dinner-late. That's Angelo-the fellow who usual- ly comes into class tardy. He is a very conscientious fellow in his studies and usually carries a book in his hands. . I i Q Q li . ANNA DONNARUMMA A light heart lives long. All the boys in our class moved aside to give petite Anna the position of captain of our Service Club-the very first time a girl has attained the honor. In spite of the slightness of her stature, she looks all our big men in the eye and sends them on their way. RUTH DURING Good things come in small packages. Ruth keynotes her appearance with the phrase sweet and simple. Her raven tresses and long lashes have caused many of our hearts to skip a beat. Ruth seems to have only one worry in life-her bookkeeping home- work. Eighteen PETER DiRIENZO His wit invites you. God's gift to women. Pete is tall and dark, and an excellent cook. If you ever hear, A little butter in the dough will improve its taste, y0u'Il see Pete with his recipe for a new and better upside-down cake. Within a few years, we're sure Pete will be voted the ideal American husband. , glq. ii ELSIE FEBBRARO Of finer form and lovelier face. A little smile, a certain gleam in her eye, a few graceful movements of her hands, a faint blush and-another ad- mirer is added to her already over- crowded list. We really expect Elsie to write a book on How To Get Your Man, based on first hand information taken from her own files.

9 5 le- z, 1 . 5 I 3 I ill GLORIA FRANETOVICH The gentle mind by gentle deeds is known. There's no gloominess here. That is the phrase everyone uses when Gloria is around. In typing she hums, O Solo Mia, and Oh Johnny Oh, be- low the noise of the typewriter. Be- fore you know it she has everybody writing songs instead of letters. , - ROSE FUREY A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Rose is our class cheerer-upper. When down and out of sorts, see Rose, she'll get rid of your gloom. She is a member of the Euclid Club. Her favor- ite subjects are math and history. JEAN FREWERT l it Laughter is the chorus of her conversation. I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair. And who wouldn't, when it is our Jean. Jean's sparkling brown eyes are her outstanding feature--and if you want to see those eyes sparkle even more, just ask her, How's Duke? ANNA FREZZO A moral, sensible, well-bred maid. What would we do without Anna's jokes? Some good, some bad, some new, some oldg all help to contribute to her vast store of humorous anec- dotes. Even a solemn person would break into smiles after spending a few minutes with this jolly person. . ,M j . E 3 u DOROTHY GALLAGH ER On pleaure she was bent, she had a mind. Dorothy is nicknamed Dolly because of her resemblance to a beautiful, fragile china doll. Her golden hair, flashing blue eyes, quick smile and twinkling feet make her one of our most popular seniors. Twenty Nw-er f 2 il L :N 1 ..,i F: 1 LlLLlAN GARABEDIAN Snappy, peppy, full of good will. Lillian has a school girl complexion and twinkling eyes. Her pleasing dis- postion and smiling countenance have acquired her the reputation of a popu- lar young miss.
