14 THE SCREECH OWL Leonard McKenna McKenna, better known as “Mac”, is a speedy young man. He is busy working at the A and P Super and usually on the seventh day is busy with a spry young Miss called “Bev”. Mac’s ambition has not been talked about, but, whatever it is, it will be original and interesting, we hope. Kenneth Meister Dramatic Club (4), Picture Committee (4). Tall, brown haired Ken is one of the intellectuals of the class. His interests lie chiefly in school work and dramatics. He was voted many honors by his classmates, but the one that fits him best is “Talks least says most.” Phyllis Merrick Dramatic Club (3), Meet the Family (4) , Junior Woman’s Club (4), Graduation Program (4). It is rare, indeed, to find a beautiful girl who knows all the answers, but Phyllis is the young lady at M. H. S. who possesses both comeliness and intelligence. No wonder her classmates like and admire her. Her trim figure and golden blonde hair are really something for any girl to envy. Nellie Mikola jczyk Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Inter-Mural Basketball (1), Inter-Class (1, 2, 3, 4), Picture Committee (4), Art Committee (4), Field Hockey Social (4). Nellie is the comforting girl of the class. Whenever someone feels ill, Nellie is always there to soothe away the patient’s troubles. Nellie has taken up all the sports, and has excelled in them. She also likes to draw. Her carefree, congenial personality has brought her many friends. Morgan Molloy Track (1), Manager (2), Football (2, 3, 4), Sophomore Social Com- mittee (2), Thanksgiving Social (3), Valentine Social (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Valentine Social (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Student Council Treasurer (4). Morgan, besides being one of the best looking boys in the c lass, is also one of our foremost athletes. His consistent good playing helped the Orange and Black to pull victory out of the jaws of de- feat on many occasions. As a dancer, his classmates call him the best and have voted him as such.

THE SCREECH OWL 13 Walter Makush Track (1), Student Council (1), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Class Activities Committee (4), Dance Committee (4). Handsome, healthy, and happy, Walter is the Romeo of the class, for in his own quiet way he manages to keep on good terms with all the girls. His chief interest (outside of girls) is aviation. Soon “Wally” will be in the Air Corps flying and fighting for Uncle Sam. Watch out, Hirohito, Benito, and Adolph! Priscilla Marchant Oral Speaking Contest (1), Class Secretary (1), All Committees (1), Screech Owl (2, 3, 4), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Junior Woman’s Club (4), Picture Committee (4). What a combination of attractive qualities has Priscilla! She is an honor student; she has an even-mannered disposition; she dances with the best; she is efficiency personified. Who wouldn’t want to hire her as a private secretary? Jerry Mariani Jerry, who is tall and dark haired, is interested in mechanics. He does not appear to be interested in any girl yet but we think that there will be some changes made in the attitude. Sociable, likeable, but very independent, he will rely on his ingenuity to help him make his way in life. Theresa Mariano Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey Cap- tain (4). Everyone will always remember Theresa as a reliable soul. We know of her intense interest in field hockey and basketball. She is also well known for her outbursts of laughter in the commercial room. Lots of luck to a loyal friend. Ester Mark Field Hockey (1), Basketball (1), Screech Owl (4). Ester, who signs her drawings “Esta”, is one of our most ac- complished students. Her artistic ability, originality, and polished technique will lead her to success. Ester can always have a good time any and every place she goes. Among her intimate friends, she is called “Butch.” She intends to be a nurse, and we are sure she will make her “Mark” as a pulse taker.

THE SCREECH OWL 15 William Morrill Golf Team (2), Basketball (3, 4), Baseball (3, 4), Picture Com- mittee (4). Dark-haired, brown-eyed Bill is a pitcher on the baseball team. Encouraged by his father, Bill has become a reputable hurler. Be- sides playing baseball and basketball, he does some first class golf- ing. Bill is well liked for his friendliness, sincerity, courtesy, and good manners. Lillian Nivala Field Hockey (1, 2, 3), Basketball (1, 2, 3). Lillian is the other half of Swartz, Nivala, Inc. “Lily’s” sense of humor, pleasant ways, and willingness to lend a hand will endear her to her classmates for many years to come. Although Lillian doesn’t say much about how she spends her spare time, we know that she’d like to spend it in Hartford, Connecticut, which she plans to make her future home. Too bad for us, “Lily,” that that city is so far away. Helen Nowick Screech Owl (3, 4), Assistant Editor (4), Sophomore Social Com- mittee (2), Valentine Social (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Poster Committee (3), Senior Social Committee (4), Picture Com- mittee (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Cheer Leader (2, 3). Helen possesses all the qualities of a perfect secretary. She has good looks, good clothes, a nice personality, and is one who knows her business. She has proved to be a success, for she was one of the first to leave school to take a steady job. Good luck to one of the commercial’s best.

Anne is one of the most popular girls in our class. She is petite and pretty and has many friends. She is a true and faithful pal who is always willing to do anything to help a friend. She is a good stu- dent, and her smile brightens up the Commercial Department. Al- though she’s had the boys guessing about her for four years, thei e is no guessing about her future success. Her outstanding personal- ity and her attractive smile will surely take her places.

In school her friends know her as a good sport, a good student with a cheery disposition and without a man on her mind.
