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?

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.

20 THE SCREECH OWL Leo Rosko 10 Driscoll Avenue “ Conquest pursues zvhere courage leads ” Leo, dark, good-looking and brown-eyed, is one of the sportsmen of the Senior Class. His interests lie in hunting, fishing, and trapping. When the first day of the fishing season comes around, you very seldom find Leo in school. Leo’s fav- orite class has to do with physics. Leo says that in a few years we will probably see him in the army or navy. Maybe he can hunt in the army ana fish in the navy or accompany Mr. F. D. R. on one of his trips. Anthony Raymond Salamone 12 Main Street Tel. No. 415-M “Those move easiest who have learned to dance. Antonio is noble, a true Latin type. Genial and sympathetic, he has often offi- ciated as best man at weddings. “Jitterbug”, as his friends call him, is a snappy dancer in our class, and is constantly visiting Waltham. We wonder why. He says it’s to see his uncle, but we “aunt” sure. Tony wants to become a business man when he graduates and we know he’ll make a good one, too, if he doesn’t mix his hobby (playing the drums) up with his work. Someday he may beat his own record. Fred Sarvela R. F. D. 94 Puffer Road Tel. No. 134-W1 “He is strong who can knock a man down , but stronger who can lift himself Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Co-Captain (4), Track (2, 3, 4), Basketball (3, 4), Student Council (2, 3), Dance Committee A. A. (1, 2), All Dance Committees (3), Banquet and Class Night Committee (4). Freddie, big, bulky, and brawny but still graceful, has endeared himself to the feminine hearts by his exploits on gridiron and dance floor. His favorite pastime is hunting; so we are not “a Freddie” will get the bird if he keeps in their “pidgeon.” Wanda Josephine Shubelka 48 Parker Street “She seems both cheerful of all yesterdays And confident of every tomorrow Special Chorus (4), Screech Owl (4). Fluffy-haired, blue-eyed Wanda wears a sweater to match her eyes. Wanda is outwardly quiet, but she has pronounced opinions which at length she does make firmly known. When a certain typewriting chair did not give her the proper support, she did not exactly keep her grievances to herself. Wanda plays cards, collects dog pictures, and goes off on hikes. She is bound for suc- cess, we know, and we shall not “Wanda” when we hear that she has “wanda-ed” into a commercial executive position, even though we have a line that she would like to be a telephone operator. She will connect, anyway. Joseph Smaha 11 Harrison Street “Strongest zvander furthest Football (1, 2, 3, 4). “Joe” has been, up to his last year, one of M. H. S.’s most reliable gridiron stalwarts. Sad indeed were the football players when the news of Joe’s ineligi- bility was received last fall. Joe has been “milling” around locally but no one can “pull th.e wool over his eyes.”
