10 THE SCREECH OWL Guy Vernon Emro, Jr. 138 Waltham Street Tel. No. 202 “Modest and courteous all the live-long day.” Grey-sweatered, eager Guy is never seen without his flashing smile, which draws friends like a magnet. He hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps and go to sea. We are sure that he will sail right along toward his goal, although we have never seen Em-ro a boat. Marie Teresa Flaherty 52 Main Street Tel. No. 158 “The early morning hours do find me at my books.” Freshman-Sophomore Dance (1), Sophomore Dance (2), Screech Owl (2, 3), Assistant Editor (4), Ring Committee (3), English Club (4), Sunlight Hop (3, 4), Prom Committee (3), All Social Committees (3), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Modern Language Club (4), Sp.ing Social (4), Honorary Member Women’s Club (4), Special Chorus (4), Haunted Hotel (4), Class Will (4). Tall, dignified, and vivacious Marie is surely one of the most popular and well- liked girls in our Alma Mater. Her activities seem to be faithfully confined to studies and to school doings, but she likes to cook, and from what we hear a “Weston” is her specialty. She is often found dreaming with her mind at sea because her mind is at the “Doc’s.” David Joseph Foley 7 Sherman Street Tel. No. 477 “Zeus hates busy bodies and those zoho do too much.” Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Class Will (4). This tall, light-complexioned, good-looking chap can be seen leisurely rambling from one class to the next during periods, without a worry in the world. Davy likes to ride the motorcycle and see how fast it will go. He has caught all our pitchers in the past four years, . and he “Shirley” is one of our best “catch hers.” Thomas John Foley 18 Brooks Street Tel. No. 683-M “Speed and strength and mind combined.” Track (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4), Ring Committee (3), Reception Committee (4). Tommy is tall and dark, and has a superb build. He is a speed demon on the track and is almost unbeatable. There was only one time when he was beaten, and that was when he was “Chase an’ Sanborn.” We are pretty sure he won’t be dated. Charles Herbert Fouratt 10 Harriman Court Tel. No. 335-M “O life’s a pudding full of plums, and a man of pluck.” Football (2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (2, 3, 4), Freshman- Sophomore Social Committee, A. A. Social Committee, 2nd A. A. Social Com- mittee, Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), Special Boys’ Chorus (4), Haunted Hotel (4). Gallant Charlie, the hero of the Milford football game, has one of the most brilliant personalities of the class. He is always ready with a grin and a pun for everybody. He can act as well as sing and play a guitar; so he is quite a versatile individual. This will help him quite a bit toward his chosen occupation: a band leader. Charles is an easy fellow to follow.

THE SCREECH OWL 9 Frances Lorraine D’Agata 13 Acton Street Tel. No. 584 Sport that wrinkled care derides.” Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Field ' Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain of Hockey (4), All Dance Committees (2, 3), Cheer Leader (1, 2, 3), Screech Owl (4), Ring Com- mittee (3), Modern Language Club (4), Special Chorus (4), English Club (4), Hallowe’en Social (4). “Frannie’s” favorite pastime is sports and dancing, and her hobby is collecting autographs of famous dance bands and of actresses. Her main ambition is to be a teacher. “D’Agata” do it, Frannie. Jean Lawton Davis 8 Brooks Street “I have taken all knowledge to be my province.” Student Council (1, 3, 4), Secretary Student Council (4), Screech Owl (1, 2, 3, 4), Assistant Manager Field Hockey (3), Vice-President Class (2), Reception Committee (4), Hallowe’en Social (4), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Ring Committee (3), Speaking Contest (2), Pianist (3. 4), Drum Majorette (3), Graduation Honor Speaker (4), English Club (4), Hon- orary Member of Women’s Club (4), Orchestra (3, 4), Special Chorus (4), Good Citizenship Pilgrim (4), Modern Language Club (4), Haunted Hotel (4). A beautiful song can be fitted to a beautiful girl, and Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair fits Jean to a T. She is one of our most accomplished girls and at the same time has a most obliging disposition. Her artistic works are often ex- hibited at the time of any social because she’s in universal demand by both teachers and students. For she is “Everett-y” to lend a hand. Charles Joseph De Grappo 15 Dean Street Tel. No. 586-M “Let him who knows the instrument play on it.” Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), Special Chorus (4), Glee Clubs (1, 2, 3), Junior Prom Committee (3). “Charlie” can best be described by a slang expression which, however, carries a lot of punch — swell. He is, in everything, typical of that adjective. He is able to do anything with his trumpet, and his cheery personality is unsurpassed by anyone in the Senior class. He is tall, dark and jovial. We’re sure that he will be able “DeGrappo” with every trouble that comes his way. Mary Elizabeth Dwinell 16 Grant Street Tel. No. 70 “I am a gay and dauntless spirit !” Haunted Hotel ( 4), Senior Banquet (4). Mollie is volatile, versatile, and decidedly vigorous. Her sunny smile, kind heart, and generous gestures and Dan Cupidian solicitude have helped many a would-be Romeo become articulate and say sweet somethings in the right direc- tion. That green cloth bag of tricks slung over her shoulder carries many a thick school volume. Mollie’s colorful performance as Gladiola Jackson, the Darktown maid in the “Haunted Hotel,” gives promise of histrionic career little short of meteoric. Howard Russell Edwards 14 Chandler Street Tel. No. 312-R “He has both might and main to do things with.” Ring Committee (3). Howie, the mystery boy of the class, is a class A advocate for most independent. He is vigorous, carefree, and very much alive. He has a decided mechanical talent and we wonder “Howie” will make out in this field. He is of medium height, very dark, and is the one truly handsome lad we have met in the halls of M. H. S. We shall always “Needham.”

THE SCREECH OWL 11 Gloria Elva Gerbi 36 McKinley Street Tel. No. 498- M “A smile will go a long, long way” Screech Owl (4), Senior Special Chorus (4). Pretty, brown-haired Gloria, the dignified girl with the sudden, sunny, mis- chievous smile, likes to correspond with people in other lands. In her spare time she can invariably be found with Jennie, Wanda, and Virginia — diligently concentrating on a serious game of whist, with no frivoling allowed. She says her pastime is walking, but we wonder why she frequents Lowell so often. Clara Roberta Gogolin 95 Summer Street “Her eyes as star of twilight fair , Like twilights to her dusky hair.” Reception Committee (4). Clara is a bright, vivacious girl with long light silken tresses. She wears pale grey. Her favorite hobby is horseback riding, and any mention of equestrian activities brings a strange dancing light into her eyes. She is a person of talent; she is both musical and literary. Personal acquaintance positively Clarafies this statement. Muriel Martha Gray 93 Summer Street Tel. No. 414-M “Singing on our journey makes the way less tedious ” Senior Special Chorus (4). Muriel has the loveliest voice in the Senior Class, along with a pleasant per- sonality. She is tall, light-complexioned, and pretty. She is a gifted girl, and her pleasant smile is forever popping up to give anyone burdened with life’s troubles an exhilarating “lift.” To be a governess is her one ambition; she is well qualified for this position, and many thanks has the child that she sings to sleep. Taimi Tellervo Grekula 17 Tremont Street “For good thoughts do not perish ” Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Candy Counter (4), Hobby Nobby Club (4). Taimi is of medium height and is very light blonde. She has a pleasant, sincere smile. She is one of the few girls who have the courage to tackle such subjects as chemistry and physics. Taimi has done her work well, and she deserves as high praises as can be given. She must have much more than usual persever- ance to progress as she does— and will. Virginia Mary Hansen 206 Great Road “Joyful in the very day of youth.” Senior Special Chorus (4). Virginia is red-haired and pleasant. She is adept at typing and likes her busi- ness subjects very well. She has a cheery “hello” for everyone. Her pleasing voice can be clearly heard in our special chorus blending with those of her fel- low choristers. She walks quite a bit and dreams of someday being at work in the office of some big-business executive.
