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.

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.

12 THE SCREECH OWL Gertrude Lois Hanson 80 Powder Mill Road Tel. No. 311-W Dare to go after what you want.” Basketball (1 2, 3, 4), Glee Club, Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Student Council (3), Senior Social Committee (4), Banquet and Class Night Committee (4), Senior Special Chorus (4). Tall, dark-haired Gert could easily lead a parade with her good looks and so- ciability. There is room for only one in her estimation; nevertheless, she still has many, many admirers. Need we mention just which one is the lucky fellow? By the way, Elwin, she can do a fancy bit of Household Arts, too. Donald Mertin Hatch 2 Driscoll Avenue Tel. No. 474 “Well mounted on his good gray mare, He hies along the great highway.” Donald, or “Dee Dee”, is blonde and blue-eyed. He is of medium height. “Dee” is stalwart and good natured, but independent: he is frequently seen with his sleeves rolled up. His favorite hobby is tinkering noisily, but effectively with motors. He is also one of the more heavy-footed drivers who abound at M.H.S. and who are bound away at 1:15 daily. We know he’ll chug-chug to fame very soon. Robert Lincoln Hatch 27 Elmwood Street Tel. No. 623- W “Let’s look upon the brightest side of everything.” “Bobby” is readily distinguished by his jolly laugh and his endless good humor. He occupies his mind with timely topics. He likes to debate in class and out, and even in argument he is an agreeable opponent. Bobby wishes to become a landscape architect, and in such a profession, bright we are certain will be his horizon. Edward Gerald Joseph Higgins 39 Parker Street “A stalwart comrade — merry and most true.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball (1, 2, 3), Captain (4), Picture Committee (4), Screech Owl (4), Ring Committee (3), Special Boys’ Chorus (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Treasurer (3, 4), All Dance Committees. Curly-haired, blonde, and amiable, “Ding” is an athletic mainstay in M. H. S. sports. He is one of the most popular boys of the class. We hear from Eddie that his brightest moment in high school was meeting Ruth (another mainstay, we suppose). He attained nearly the highest honors in football that a player can receive, and you can “bat” that he will be a second “Babe Ruth.” Antonio Hill 15 Summer Street “A workman who is master of his craft.” Graduation Speaker (4), Orchestra (1, 2), Haunted Hotel (4). Tony is a tall, medium-complexioned, red cheeked boy with a shoulder-shaking laugh and a great fund of unsuspected dry humor. His favorite subjects are woodworking and science, and his hobby is radio. We feel he would go a long way in radio, but he wants to be an airplane mechanic, so we “gas” he’ll fly.
