95 GEORGE FRANCIS DeMELLO George, better known as just ' Six” to his friends, is our class’s top card shark. In fact, he’s even been known to haul out his pack during a certain period and have a game or two with the boys. His favorite sport is basketball. In this his height and ability hold him in good stead. A great deal of Six’s spare time in the summer is spent at either the beach or on the baseball diamond. Like most of the graduating males, George feels Uncle Sam breathing down his neck, so he plans to give the Navy a try. Let’s hope he has smooth sailing. JAMES J. DeMELLO You don’t hear too much about Jimmy around school, but that’s because he’s the quiet type. Indus- trious and good-natured, Duck , as Jim is sometimes called, is also a competent carpenter, and many of his shop mates have been amazed by his skill with saw and hammer. Any of us who have seen his handiwork must admit that as a carpenter Jimmy is really tops. Duck” lists ice skating as his favorite sport and Uncle Sam’s navy as his probable fate. Don ' t you thank Old Man Whiskers has room for another good carpenter, Jim? Joseph Desantis Water Moccasin,” a husky, good-looking boy, is gracing our halls for the first time this year. A transfer student from Malden Catholic, Joe has quickly acquired a great number of friends with his good natured antics. Joe was a candidate for all three Lawrence High sports, football, basketball, and base- ball, and in other ways proved to be a willing class worker. Although his term with us has been a short one, Water” will retain a page in our memories. Thirteen

s, e n i o r 3 JOANNA JENNY CARDOZA Jenny is a quiet well-liked girl. Her favorite sport is basketball and every practice session and game found her playing her hardest as a guard for our girls’ team. She was a participant in the Driver Education course and passed the license exams with flying colors in February. Jenny’s hobbies are knit ting and sewing — -the many articles she has made prove that she is very clever at both. Jenny has taken the general course but is uncertain as to what she will do in the future. However, we know she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. JOHN MATTHEWS CLARKIN Jackie was formerly a quiet boy before he be- came a senior and found out how much fun it was to make noise and plenty of it. No slouch at studies, Jack is a member of the National Honor Society. He was the manager of this year’s basketball team as well as being a member of the Bruins in the Intra- mural League. Jack’s hobby is mechanics and he wants to be- come an engineer, but like the rest of the boys, he likes to eat and sleep before anything else. Jack, however, is interested in jets and atomic energy. Who knows? Maybe he ' ll be the first to learn how to utilize atomic energy in jet engines. DAVID F. CORRELLUS, Jr. If you’re ever looking for a good-natured fellow, Dave ' s your man! Blessed with an amiable disposi- tion and a knack for getting along with people, he can boast a legion of friends. Dave has taken the business course throughout his school years, but he says that the thing he remembers most about school is Problems class. (That class seems to leave a deep impression on a lot of people, doesn’t it? ) Dave says he’s happiest when at Martha’s Vine- yard. I wonder why? Like many of his classmates, he says he ' ll probably end up in Uncle Sam’s Navy. If he does, he’ll have plenty of company. Twelve

s, e n lord MANUEL DeSOUZA Cruz,” one of the few four-year members of the L.H.S. football squad was honored this past fall by being chosen to captain the team through a fairly successful year of football. He was also chosen as the most athletic boy in the class. Whenever you saw a flash or bright beam in the halls of Lawrence High, it wasn’t an explosion. It was Manny hiding behind one of his flashy ties. Manny’s hobby is living so naturally he is happiest when with girls. (To him, that’s really living! ) Al- though the high school will be losing a good man this year, the Navy will gain one as Cruz will prob- ably join some of his classmates seeing the world in the U. S. Navy. DAVID FARREN Soft-spoken and amiable, Dave is the most Cape- Coddish member of our class. From his salty drawl alone you know that Dave is a native Cape-Codder. He, too, is a member of that exclusive shop clan which spends most of its time in the Hall School workshop. Dave is a pretty handy fellow to have around when something needs fixing. When he’s not in school, Dave says he’s happiest when working — too bad there aren’t more of us like that! His outside interests range from boats to al- most anything mechanical. Dave’s future seems to involve, and we think Dave will be a good addition for, Uncle Sam. ELEANOR FRANCES FERREIRA A short, neat girl with shining dark hair, sparkling brown eyes, and a round, smiling face — that ' s Eleanor. Her hobby is playing the piano and although she has never had a single lesson you can always depend on her to know the latest tune on the Hit Parade. Her fondness for music extends in other directions too — . She w r as a Glee Club mem- ber all through high school blending her sweet soprano with the others. She is also one of the best dancers in the class. Eleanor took the voca- tional course this year and would like to become a beautician. Fourteen
