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 Perillo Basketball (1, 2), Junior Prom (3), Screech Owl (1, 2), Valentine Dance (4), Thanksgiving Social (4), Picture Committee (4), Out- ing Committee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Reception Committee (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Screech Owl Dance (4). 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. Eileen Perry Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Inter-Mural Basketball (1, 2. 3, 4), Inter- Class Bask etball (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), Field Hockey Social (4). Eileen is the girl with the double-life. Outside of school she devotes most of her time to a member of the class of ’- 0. In school her friends know her as a good sport, a good student with a cheery disposition and without a man on her mind.

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.

16 THE SCREECH OWL Jennie Piecewicz Basketball (1,2). Jennie is a very attractive young lady with blue eyes and brown hair. She has taken the Household Arts Course and is known for her ability to sew and cook. She must be domestic minded — how about it, Jennie? Sophie Piecewicz Field Hockey (2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Freshman Social Committee (1), Sophomore Social Committee (2), Junior Prom Committee (3), Cap and Gown Committee (4). Sophie is a true friend and is always full of fun. She is a won- derful dancer and can certainly “cut a rug.” Her successful career has already been launched, because she is now working at the American Optical Company. Pauline Poulson Orchestra (1, 2), Senior Girls’ Chorus Sextet (4). “Betty” is a tall girl with brown hair and lovely brown eyes. She likes dancing and music. She intends to take up beauty culture — at least “for the duration.” Mary Ellen Punch Class Vice-President (1, 2, 3, 4), All Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), Assistant Editor (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Junior Prom (3), Junior Ring Committee (3), Reception Com- mittee (4), Banquet Committee (4), Outing Committee (4), Basket- ball (1, 2, 4), Field Hockey (1) ; Cheer Leader (3). This redhead is one of the most pop ular girls in the Senior Class. Just look at that friendly smile! It certainly brightens up the dullest room when Mary walks in. Her list of activities prove that she is a capable and dependable girl. Lady Fortune must have smiled at Mary, for brains, beauty, and personality are hard to find in the same person. Evidently that boy in Concord thinks so, too. Agda Reini Screech Owl (3), Junior Woman’s Club (4). Agda is a dependable, capable, and fun-loving girl. Although she may be a business woman at school, you should be in her com- pany when she goes out of town. Fitchburg held great interest for her until “he” got drafted. Now she’s singing “Deep in the Heart of Texas.”
