18 THE SCREECH OWL Hugh Walter Miller 10 Vernon Street “The best work is done on the quiet.” Basketball (3, 4), Golf (3). Hughie, short but mighty, is another golf fiend, only he is far above the usual run of dubbers. He says all his moments in high school were dull, but we be- lieve otherwise, for with his broad, boyish smile and friendship he couldn’t help lightening up both his and other’s hours in our school hours. He will step forth this June to our local youth grabber, but after a few years will endeavor to reach higher levels. Mary Catherine Mistretta 9 Arthur Street “Small and quiet and ever welcome.” Special Chorus (4), Picture Committee (4). Mary is a dark, brown-eyed, and pleasant lass with an agreeable smile. Her tennis is very good, and she can be seen at the courts in her spare time practic- ing. She aspires to be a typist, as all good commercialities should, and with her readiness for good humor and efficiency she will not have a hard time attaining a position. Virginia Louise Nelson 22 Walnut Street Tel. No. 310 “I make a go of everything I try.” “Ginny” is one of the quiet girls of our class whose ambition is to be a secre- tary to a busy executive. We wonder why. Her hobby is collecting “horse’ ' brooches. We hope you can throw a half-Nelson around any problem, but if “Ginny” any help, just holler!! Grace Elizabeth Newman 9 Brooks Street “A gentle dignity in every word and gesture.” Screech Owl (4), Senior Chorus (4), Outing Committee (4). Tall, brown-haired, considerate and graceful Gracie is one of the many apt com- mercial students. She says that her ambition is to be a secretary and that her probable occupation will be that of a typist. She’ll make a cute one. Grace is quite a bowler, too; ask her about it sometime. She is one of the “N’s” in the “N. T. D. N.” Eleanor Jo-Ann Olsen 6 Pine Street “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Special Chorus (4). Tall, poised, and blonde, Eleanor is one of the few quiet girls in our esteemed class. Her ambition is to be a secretary. We find it kind of hard to believe that, for Ushers don’t use them, we hear.

THE SCREECH OWL 17 James Anthony Maglione 116 Waltham Street “ Happiness is his being and his aim.” Football (2, 3, 4), Basketball (2, 3, 4), Reception Committee (4). Clear-minded, green-eyed, dry-humored “Red” is one of our heroes, as is evi- denced by his three years’ participation in football and basketball. During his senior year he was basketball captain, and who doesn’t know about his gridiron exploits? “Red’s” ambition is really the ambition of everyone: “A good job and happiness.” He warns the Freshmen to beware of red tickets. We hope, Red, that you will not get detained by tickets on the highway of life; so “police” be kind. Jennie Mary Mariani 16 Arthur Street “A witty and an able woman is a treasure.” Tall, dark, w T ith frank gray eyes and winsome smile, “Jen” seems to lean toward a maritime future, we seem to sea. Her ambition, however, is to be a house- wife. She sure keeps up with the times, for that’s a defense job if there ever was one. Estelle Catharine Maskiewicz 257 Main Street “What’s worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” Graduation Speaker (4). Tall, brown-haired, and poised, Stella’s main ambition is to be a good organist but we hear that she would make a good colleague in a debate. In proof of this, ask any of her English classmen. Stella is a very friendly, good-natured girl and we can see where she follows her advice to her classmen. “Be natural, don’t let the upper classmen scare you.” Stella’s hobbies are art and cooking. At everything, she’s sure to be a “Stella” attraction. Robert Benjamin Meister 75 Rockland Avenue “Go to the bees for industry.” Brown-sweatered, with rabbit’s foot charm a-dangle, “Bobby” is one of the scholastic standouts of the academic students. His main ambition is to be a textile chemist and, no doubt, he will. His interests lie in the outdoor field, such as Boy Scouts, 4H Club work, and the like. His hobbies are collecting almost anything from stamps to four-leaf clovers. His brightest moment was entering M. H. S. from his old Alma Mater, Methuen High, because as he says, “It’s so much easier.” He will be remembered for his thoughtfulness and sincerity. Steve Edward Milewski 15 Sudbury Street “What obstacle can hold back this gay and sure young man?” Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball (4). Debonair, staminal, and cheerful are all the adjectives that describe Steve. The Senior Girls’ Basketball team will not soon forget his intelligent an d sympathetic coaching in helping them to win the championship.

THE SCREECH OWL 19 Grace Alfreda Olsen 9 Bancroft Street “ Music that would charm forever, Clear and szveet and full should he.” Special Chorus (4), Picture Committee (4). Dark-haired Grace has a voice that is a delight to all. Her ambition is to be a nurse. Well, music hath charms, or something. Grace should consult the Presi- dent on her stamp collections, and he will probably be the one to profit by the meeting. She surely lives up to her first name. Janet Marie Poulson 43 Brown Street Tel. No. 633- W “Be always as merry and carefree as you can” Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4). Genial Janet could be called a “Strawberry Blonde,” we are sure. Up to recent- ly she could be found once a week tootling her French horn in the band. We’ve often wondered why she took up this instrument. If she ever gets into business, she should be a success because she can always “Poulson” strings with her em- ployers. William George Priest 74 Parker Street Tel. No. 34- M “A quiet mind is richer than a crown.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball (3, 4), Basketball (3, 4), Screech Owl (4), Gradu- ation Speaker (4). Without a doubt Bill is one of the most estimable boys in our class. He is one of the leading students and is ever adopting the course of modesty. He is quiet and shy; his every action is to avoid the girls, but when he does meet them well, his blush speaks for itself. Bill is a true lover of sports. He has distinguished himself in football, baseball, and basketball. Self-effacing as he is, his sterling- characteristics soon become manifest. Elena Ann Primiano 42 Parker Street “Are you what your fair looks express?” Student Council (1, 2, 3), Ring Committee (3), Haunted Hotel (4), Sunlight Hop (4), Screech Owl (4), Special Chorus (4), All Social Committees (3, 4). The dark-haired Elena appears retiring and reserved to most people, but those of us who really know her think of her as being otherwise. Her interests are few, but as few as they are, they take up a great deal of her time. Elena is handy with a needle, and she can cook a little snack any time. Nothing pleases her more than a dance, and if it’s possible, she’ll always be there. Although you are allergic to water, we know in future years you will be in the social swim. Frank Edward Riley, Jr. 9 Vernon Street Tel. No. 341-M “ Magestic my demeanor.” You can always rely on large, chubby, ruddy, merry Frank to keep things mov- ing, and I don’t mean only when he’s leading young ladies to their classes or patting their shoulders gently while he offers brotherly advice. If the saying be true “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men,” then Frank is one of the best, for he does not stint. He is a little ciamped for time to play golf and to find room for parking space because of his theater duties, but being an aisle guide at the cinema has its advantages, hey, Frank?
