LAURA F. PALLADINO “Laurie Joviality and Laurie make a good pair. Show us this young lady sad and we shall immediately correspond with Ripley. Well groomed in manners, she circulates with ease at social gatherings and endeavors to make others react in like manner. She is said to possess talents in hairdressing, while her hobbyland includes sewing, to the extent of fashioning some of her personal wear. Off- hours find her reading, bowling or playing basketball. Her choice of career awaits further consideration. A.A. 2, 3; Basketball 3, 4; Tatler 3, 4; Co-chairman on Stage Properties, Class Play; Usher, Reception 3; Year- book Board. GEORGE L. PHILEIBS “Buster A newcomer to M. H. S., George is already well-known for his knowledge of science and history. His spare time is occupied mostly by studying and reading, but he man- ages to surrender a few moments to the tasks of washing dishes, and playing the piano with one finger. As befits a man his size, he loves to eat, (his favorite dish being food). Besides participating actively in baseball, and basketball, he also swims, skis, and trudges on snow-shoes. He likes square dancing, boogie-woogie and classical music. As his father was a Navy man, George has hopes of entering Annapolis after graduation. Football 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 4; Latin Club 4; Class Will. CLENVIENTD PLERCE “Clemie”’ “Clemie” is one of our best liked students. His light hair, natural gayety, and twinkling blue eyes know how to turn on the charm, a procedure which has not de- preciated through constant use. Although a master of amiability, he speaks his mind fearlessly in public gather- ings. It seems that most of his spare time is spent tinkering around cars. His frequent excursions toward Foxboro and Walpole probably explain his reputation of being quiet at home. Aspirations for post-graduate work are still “Clemie’s” own secrets. A.A. 2, 3, 4; Advertising, Reception; Program, Class Play. 26

EDWARD P. NORDBERG “Eddy” Eddy is the blond, energetic, bespectacled midget among the male members of the class. Deeply interested in sports, he performs stellar work on the basketball team, captains the baseball nine, and, on his own, does plenty of swimming and hockey playing. Such interests explain his title of sports’ editor on the Tatler. Other activities include dancing, bowling, reading and participation in social events. Eddy possesses ambitions for his post- scholastic career, but most of them seem to focus around the word “sports”.

OTTAVIANI “Eleanor” Happy-go-lucky attitude, willingness to help, love of fun, and sunny disposition make up Taffy. She is a tall, dark girl with dark brown sparkling eyes. Taffy has many varied interests including reading, sewing, bowling, playing softball and basketball. Her cooking ability and the way she handles children make her a homebody. In her spare time she works in Sannie’s, but she also man- ages to attend a good football or basketball game. In the future, she hopes to find success in the business world. A.A. 3; Decorating, Reception; Pan-American Club 3; Stage and Properties, Class Play. RICHARD M. PALANZA “Richy” Richy is one of the sparkplugs of the class; his pep and vitality have contributed much to keep many a class project alive. He is one of our outstanding sports en- thusiasts—a star quarterback in football, captain of the team in basketball, and the champion miler on the track. Again within his sports circle we find hockey, baseball, and swimming. Social events appeal to him; maybe that’s because girls are tops on his list of hobbies. A college education is in store for Richy if everything goes accord- ing to plans.

CORINNE? bo PUEPMAN “Corinne” If all the girls in school could only inherit Corinne’s cheery disposition! Her touch of neatness and taste of clothes, place her among the uppermost models of M. H. S. styles. A summation of her character embodies three words with certainty: pretty, polite, popular. She is an excellent guard in basketball, as many opposing for- wards have been able to discover. Her business plans lead us to believe she will be a competent secretary for some lucky boss.

Upon graduation, she plans to remain a scholar, with enrollment at the Faye Sec- retarial School.

HEBBEN SROUIGLEY “Slim” Helen’s jovial personality and ever-smiling face have won her a legion of friends during her stay at M. H. S. (including quite a few male admirers at that). Her pleasantness makes her popularity a well deserved qualification. Among her many enjoyments, dancing and rollerskating take definite precedence. Since Helen has not revealed any of her ambitions for the future, we shall merely state that our best wishes accompany her in whatever path she chooses to follow.
