THE SCREECH OWL 15 SENIOR CLASS ROLL Mildred Babb Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Mildred is one of the quiet and mysterious girls of the class. However, it is reported by her friends that she is full of fun and likes a good time. We wonder why the teachers usually give her a front seat in her study periods. John Barnes Vantine took the pictures this year, John, but we know you’ll be taking them sometime in the future. Developer, fixer, etc., that’s what he likes to talk about. John runs the school movie pro- jector this year and we hope he does as good a job in whatever he does in later life. Theodore Batulin Baseball (2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). “Doc” is one of the quiet boys of the class. His basketball playing is equalled only by Hank Luisetti. Say, girls, you’d better look at “Doc” twice, for he’s an excellent cook, as any patron of Hansen’s Diner will attest. Here’s a good chance to get a husband who can cook as well as woo. Marion Booth royd Senior Girls’ Chorus (4). Marian appears to be very quiet, but her mischievous blue eyes betray her. When she becomes a nurse, the number of Newton Hospital patients will increase alarmingly. Marion Brown All Social Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Junior Women’s Club (3, 4), General Committee (4). Tall, dark, and mysterious fits Marion to a T. She is well known for her originality in drawing, as well as for her lovely voice. If it weren’t for her the Seniors would have been lost in making posters and decorations for their dances. Now she is working at Samuel’s Studio, using her ability again. She deserves the highest praise from the Class of ’43.

14 THE SCREECH OW L more helpless women and children. I also am the man who gave to the world its most useful invention, the dive bomber, which can rain death down upon anything or anyone. I am the fellow who undermined the French government and people until they were in the right condi- tion for me to take over. I am the man who has had thousands of stories written and told about him. I am the man who swears he will conquer England, but to whom the English swear equally as hard that they will never sub- mit. I am the man who will subjugate them. I am the man whom people admired because so far I have done everything I said I would, but also the same man that these identical people have vowed to wipe from the face of the earth. Yes, I am that man and more. I am the fellow who has one of his colleagues scared even to draw a breath without asking him. One of my comrades played a very neat trick o n a for- mer friend of his, America by name. He sneaked up from behind and consequently was met with but very little resistance. My comrade has taken several bad beatings from America. He was the one who really aroused the fighting spirit of the United States and now he is having his hands full. I am the man who is going to conquer the world. shall be the supreme power, even over God. Respectfully submitted, Adolph Eleanor Dimery, ’44. Ideal Manners for High School Students 1. While in assembly, be sure to squirm around in your seat just as much as you possibly can. The speaker will know you are interested. 2. When in the classroom always slide way down in your seat. You look very attractive that way. 3. Be sure to mark up desks and walls. Fools’ names and fools’ faces always appear in public places.” 4. Have ambition? Don’t! Caesar was killed because of his. 5. Girls, when coming down the stairs at dismissal, embrace each other. Affection is a grand thing to have. 6. The best place in the school to have a talk with your date is on the stairs. Always do this when the stairs are especially crowded. 7. Always rush and crowd around the candy counter. It shows what a good appetite you have. 8. Boys, don’t under any circumstances wear a necktie. Who knows? Maybe it will get caught on something and hang you. 9. Hold the door open for a person coming next ? Never on any condition ! He needs the exercise as much as you do. 10. Be sure to destroy pages in books and waste paper. This will increase the paper busi- ness. If you follow these few suggestions I am sure your high school career will be a short, but a merry one. Regina Hinds, ’45. Our Job By Virginia Whitney 1 Why should our spirits be less gay When peace seems very far away? Must we sit and fret and pine, Because the world is far from fine? 2 We’ve bonds to buy and scrap to save, Gardens to dig and flags to wave. Our cheery smiles will keep up morale Both for ourselves and a soldier pal. 3 So let us at home do our best To bring our country through this test, For fearless heart and willing hand Will keep the enemy from this land.
