8 THE SCREECH OWL Ruth Croft Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2), Student Council (3), Graduation Program (4), Class Night (4). Just ask any one who the sweetest member of the Senior Class is, and the answer will invariably be Ruthie Croft. Her singing voice, her willingness to help others, and her cheerfulness have en- deared her in the hearts of her classmates forever. Keep singing and smiling, Ruthie. Kathleen Crotty Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Poster Committee (3). Inquisitive, loquacious “Coleena” has been the shining light of the senior physics class. We will never forget her spirited argu- ments and brilliant replies. With her cheery disposition, and will- ing helpfulness, she will go far in the nursing profession. Frances Demery Field Hockey (1), Valentine Social Committee (4), Banquet Com- mittee (4), Outing Committee (4), Reception Committee (4), Class Prophecy (4). A cute little blonde, full of “pep” is Franny. But hands off, boys, her heart belongs to a gentleman of the class of ’41. Her care- free manner is no index of her scholastic ability. She is an excel- lent student and a great pal. Beverly Denniston Field Hockey (1, 2), Sophomore Social Committee (2), Junior Woman’s Club (3, 4), Poster Committee (3), Thanksgiving Social (4), Senior Social (4), Senior Activities Committee (4), Class Gifts (4). Jolly, good-hearted “Bev”, with a smile for everyone is one of the nicest girls in the Senior class. Pretty soon “Bev” will enter the business world, and if she progresses as fast in her work as she does in her typing we know she will make good. Fiorentino DiGrappo 4-H Handicraft Club (1, 2, 3), Student Council (3), Stage Manager in Dramatic Club (3, 4), Radio Club (3), Picture Committee (4), Senior Activities Committee (4). Did you ever see Tino without a grin? Can you imagine his looking cross? Why, of course not. With such cheerfulness he cannot help but succeed. His vast general knowledge and his will- ingness to learn will also play a great part in his future.

THE SCREECH OWL 7 Rose Buscemi When a rippling laugh breaks the silence, you know that Rosie is nearby. And if she is nearby, the chances are that her bosom pal Crucifina is in the immediate vicinity. We know that if she keeps smiling in future years as she has in the past four years the world will be a brighter place in which to live. Helen Bygot Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Picture Committee (4), Cap and Gown Com- mittee (4). Helen is a quiet, shy girl in school, although weVe heard that she changes her calmness outside. Everyone admires her platinum blonde hair (the real thing) , and once you see it, you don’t forget it. Crucifina Cannella Cruci doesn’t make much noise, but her friends know how cheerful she is. Her ambition is to be a secretary. With her cheer- fulness, she is bound to brighten someone’s office. Thomas Cary Craft Club (1, 2), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Football (4). Debonair, dashing “Cary” may be seen strolling through the halls at any recess. His hearty laughter, congeniality, and interest in blondes make him one of our best-liked students. We have no idea as to what Tommy’s ambition is, but we bet it’s a good one, and will eventually take him to Belmont. Annie Columbo Junior Prom Committee (3), Poster Committee (3), Student Coun- cil (4), Senior Activities Committee (4), Senior Social Committee (4), Thanksgiving Social (4). Brown-haired, brown-eyed Annie with her cheerful voice and friendly smile has the ability to put new acquaintances at ease. She is interested in cooking and sewing. Her letters to the soldiers in service certainly give her a rating of first class morale builder.

THE SCREECH OWL 9 Gordon Doel Doel is a quiet boy in school. His outside interests lie in hunt- ing, fishing, and trapping. But I hear of late he spends most of his time in Stow pursuing an interest which has nothing to do with hunting, fishing, and trapping — perhaps. Daniel Dudzinski Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Football (2, 3, 4), Student Council (1, 2), Freshman-Sophomore Social (1), Prom Committee (3), Thanksgiv- ing Social (3), Valentine Social (3), Picture Committee (4), Senior Social (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Valentine Social (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4). At every social, when the evening is at its climax, a group of laughing, chattering dancers gather in between numbers at the door of the auditorium. In their midst, stands tall, dark, and silent Danny — and when the music starts Danny dances with the fairest of M. H. S.’s beauties. Danny is certainly proof that the silent, mysterious type of man arouses the curiosity and admiration of the “blondes and brunettes.” Virginia Edwards One of the quiet members of the Commercial Department is “Ginny”. She is unusually proficient in her commercial work, and she is said to be bashful but has found a way to overcome her bash- fulness at the Acton dances. Her candy counter at Newberry’s has always been popular. Do you think it’s the candy, or is it a case of sweets from the sweet? Ruth Garside Class Secretary (3, 4), All Dance Committee (1, 2, 3, 4), Basket- ball (1, 2), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Student Council (1, 2), Junior Prom (3), Screech Owl (3, 4), Screech Owl Dance Committee (4), Junior Ring Committee (3), Reception Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Class Will (4), Out- ing Committee (4). The class of ’42 will always remember Ruth as one of the best- looking, best-dressed, and most popular girls. She is always willing to help, and both girls and boys will agree that she has been a sin- cere friend. Keep smiling, Ruth! Albert Greeno Basketball (2, 3, 4), Football (2, 3, 4), Baseball (3), A. A. Social Committee (4). On the coldest day in February, when the snow was two feet high, and the “no school” whistle had rung out in time to allow the rest of M. H. S. to turn over in bed for “two more winks,” A1 deliv- ered newspapers with a cheery smile and a happy greeting. Keep this spirit going, Al, and no adversity will seem any deeper than the snow through which you ploughed last winter.
