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.”

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 17 Ralph Richardson Ralph is a quiet young man who is well-liked by all who know him. His chief interest outside of school lies in photography. If you haven’t seen his collection, you’ve missed something. You’d probably be surprised to find a few pictures of yourself in it. He recently took a job in the American Woolen Company. John Rubasko John is one of the mysterious boys of the class. He discusses his outside activities with few people, but we do know that he is in- terested in hunting and fishing and is a good sportsman. John is now a student at the Waltham Watch Factory’s School. He will become a skilled craftsman in a year or so — with time on his hands. Sophie Salamone Sophie has always been a good friend. Her witty sayings and liveliness make her popular with her classmates. Her ambition is to become a secretary to a big executive. Mary Schnair Valentine Social Committee (3), Cap and Gown Committee (4). Mary is one of the breeziest members of our class. Her witty remarks have won her many friends. We understand that she has an interest in the Army. Come on, Mary, don’t keep us in the dark about the boy in uniform! Mary’s ambition is to be a good secre- tary. If she follows in her Dad’s footsteps, perhaps some day we shall see her soaring among the clouds in her spare time. Colbert Sewall Student Council (1), Valentine Social Committee (3), Student Council (4), Screech Owl, Business Manager (4), Cap and Gown Committee (4), Picture Committee (4), Thanksgiving Social Com- mittee (4). Sewall is undoubtedly one of the intelligentsia of M. H. S. On the side, he is working for Uncle Sam at the post office, and he wants, some day, to become postmaster. Keep plugging, “Sewall,” we ar e sure you will deliver the mail.
