24 THE SCREECH OWL Norman Crotty “A good student and a commercial shark, In life we hope he ' ll reach his mark ” “Normy” is an ambitious and a very clever lad who will be a success in anything he may undertake. Good luck, “Normy.” Irene Crowley “I muse on joy that will not cease .” Irene is the little “honey” of the class. Barely five feet tall, she possesses enough cheer and jollity to spread sunshine throughout the Commercial Department. Irene works at the candy counter down at Newberry ' s. Maybe that accounts for her being so sweet. Raymond Crowley “Quiet and calm, without a fear” Although we do not hear much about Raymond, we are sure that he must be noisy sometimes because of the instrument he plays. Who knows, some day he may be a great “Drummer man in the band.” Constance Dawson “Mischief dances in her eyes, And smiles upon her lips” Hockey (1); Student Council (3) (4); Timekeeper for Hockey (4); Usher at “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); “The Hoodoo” (4). Here’s to Connie — whether in school or out, she is spark- ling, gay and witty. The joy of the faculty, she had her “brightest” moments in the chemistry class. Elfrieda Dittrich “Success comes to those who strive for it” SecrechOwl (4); Class Secretary (1) (2); Speaker, Gradua tion Night, First Honors. “Frieda’s” affability, efficiency, and precision spell “Suc- cess”. Rare is the moment she is unoccupied with her studies. Keep smiling, Frieda.

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Mary Chodynicky “Mayest thou prove prosperous We wish you happiness ” Field Hockey (1) (2) (3); Basketball (1). “Chody” just loves to sing. May she be another Lily Pons! But what does she like about skating by moon- light? Annie Colombo u Who pleasure gives, shall joy receive ” Class Play (1); Freshman-Sophomore Play. Annie is noted for her frankness and generosity. We are often amused by her clever witticisms and her stories of Sunny Italy”. Charles Colombo Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it” Track (2) (3) (4). Charlie is one of the few veteran track men this year. His continual successes on the team have made him a much relied upon point-getter. Success, Charlie, and someday perhaps we will see you winning that well known marathon. Marie Columbo Heaven will protect the working girl” Whenever you enter “Izzie’s,” that fashionable little shop on Main St.., you are greeted by a cheery smile from Marie, the little salesgirl. It is rumored that Hudson holds great interest for Marie. Come on, now, Marie, ’fess up. Lois Cooper (i Life is too short for melancholy ” Lois is very fun-loving and mischievous, but she is also very capable. She is especially skilled in knitting, crochet- ing, and doing balance sheets. She entered Maynard High as a Sophomore, and since then has made innumerable friends. A certain commercial Senior boy’s humor is at its best when Lois is present.

THE SCREECH OWL 25 Irene Dudzinski “ The hand that hath made you fair hath also made you good. ” “Screech Owl” (4); Vice-President of Class (1) (2) (3) (4); Student Council (1) (2); Hockey (1) (2); “The Arrival of Kitty”; Freshman and Sophomore plays; Teachers ' Club Play (3); “Stage Breaks” (3). Irene is quiet, doesn ' t say too much, but means a lot. She possesses a charming personality and a jolly smile. She is bound to find much happiness. Richard Elson “That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.” “Screech Owl ” (4); Student Council (4); “The Arrival of Kitty” (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); Picture Committee (4); Banquet Committee (4); Track (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Night Speaker (4). I wonder if there is anyone in our class who doesn ' t know “Dick” or like him, for that matter. His cheerful grin, witty remarks, keen sense of humor, and especially his portrayals of “Little Hemecus” and “Big Sam” in our class plays have made him one of the “highlights” of our class. Gaetano Ferrera “I profess not talking; only this, Let each man do his best.” Track (4). Gaetano is the quiet member of the class. We tried and tried, but could find nothing sensational about him! Per- haps we don ' t really know him. How ' s about it, Gaetano?? Eleanor Flaherty “If there is a virtue at which we should always aim, it is cheerfulness.” Hockey (2) (3) (4); Screech Owl (3) (4); “The Hoodoo” (4); French Play (4); Basketball (3); Senior Dance Com- mittee (4); Senior Banquet Committee (4); Class Night Speaker (4). Eleanor ' s popularity is well evidenced by her selection to serve on various committees throughout her high school career. Best wishes, Eleanor, during your college days. Varnum Fletcher “What I am to be, I am now becoming.” “Dizzy” is one of the members of the class about whom we know very little, but there are a few dark secrets in his life — Come on, let us in on them.
