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.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 13 Helen Arefyova Hill 15 Summer Street “Her air, her manners, all who saw admired Courteous though coy and gentle though retired.” Music (1, 2, 3, 4), Orchestra (2), Screech Owl (4), Graduation Speaker (4). Helen, tall, brunette, and studious, is a very quiet and mysterious girl. She has a countess manner. She is one of the most efficient girls in the Commercial Room, but her main ambition is to become an actress or a ballet dancer. We wonder whether she will be a second Katherine Cornell or another Vera Zorina. Ann Theresa Ignachuck 3 Florida Court “The more you do the more you may accomplish.” Senior Special Chorus (4). Ann, pleasant, blue-eyed, and light-haired, has planned to take up hair dressing as a career. “Wave” wondered if she wants that as a permanent position. “Facial” we see you later, Ann, at Crowe’s or at the Salon De Beaute? Ann is quite a skater, but at the Polish Hops she cuts quite a rug. Benny Walter Jakusik 13 Railroad Street “He most of all doth bathe in bliss that hath a quiet mind.” Baseball (3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). Brown-haired Benny, a quiet lad of the Senior class, has been a very fine base- ball and basketball player during his years in high school. Although his main ambition is to become President, he states that his probable occupation will be Vice-President. Lady Luck can wait for him because as far as baseball is con- cerned he can always “catcher”. Blanche Catherine Jasielonis 209 Main Street “Modesty is the beauty of all women.” Blanche, medium-sized, brown-ha ired, and demure, has an agreeable personality which we are sure will enable her to go far in this ever-increasing women’s world. Blanche makes a wonderful companion, as can be found out by asking one of her numerous friends. We wish, however, that Blanche would give the boys a break some evening instead of reading a mystery story, which is her favorite pastime. How about it, Blanche? John Raymond Jasielonis 209 Main Street “Come forth into the light of things Let nature be your teacher.” John is tall, laconic, and dependable. As “J. J.” is John’s nickname, one might think he was the head of a business but we are glad to say that he is yet still a member of the Senior class. John is likable, and keenly observant. He enjoys walking through the wood, looking analytically at the wonders of nature. His ambition is to learn different kinds of trades, but he says he will probably work in the mill. “Jasielonis” not enough, J. J.; so learn those trades. You will do “awl” right, my boy.
