16 THE SCREECH OWL Elsie Burgess Field Hockey (1, 2, 3), Captain (4), Basketball (1, 2, 3), Screech Owl (4), Junior Women’s Club (2, 3, 4), Social Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Dramatic Club (2, 3, 4), General Committee (4), Class Sec- retary 1), Ring Committee (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Cheer Leader (1, 3). Tall and pretty, that’s Elsie, who has been one of the most popular girls of the class. Elsie plans to take up nursing as a career. She is also quite interested in a certain fellow in Uncle Sam’s Navy. Need we mention who the lucky sailor is ? William Byrne Football (3, 4), Track (1, 2, 3), Manager (2, 3), All Dance Com- mittees (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), General Committee (4), Aviation Club (4). “Bill” is one of the best natured boys in our class. He is always up to something and ready for a laugh. Bill’s ambition is to be an aeronautical engineer. With his knowledge and interest in planes we know he’ll succeed. James Cannella “Jimmy” was one of the first of our classmates to lay aside his books when he heard the “Call to Arms.” To Jim, from all his classmates, we send wishes for the best of luck. Leonard Carbary Football (2), Track (2), Student Council (2), Dramatic Club (3), Basketball (4). Lenny is a short, well built fellow with a dynamic personality. He was one of the strongest points of attack on the football team. He now scorches hamburgers (real meat) at the Victory Diner. George Crotty Basketball (1, 4), Without a doubt George is the class Casanova. George’s witty remarks and captivating smile have made him one of the best liked boys in the school. With the fine qualities George has he is sure to go a long way.

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.

THE SCREECH OWL 17 Lois Dawson Basketball (1, 2, 3), Junior Women’s Club (3, 4), Screech Owl (3), 4), Dramatic Club (3), Screech Owl Dance Committee (3), Dance Committees (2, 3), Junior Prom Committee (3), General Committee (4), Girls’ Special Chorus (4). Popular, petite, and pretty, that’s Lois, who, by the way, seems quite interested in Newport, Rhode Island, for some reason or other. We hope the ration board will allow Lois enough gas to visit her interest. “I only want a BUDDY for a sweetheart” seems to be her favorite song. Frank DiGrappa Graduation Speaker (4), Dramatic Club (3, 4), Craft Club (2, 3, 4), Aviation Club (4), General Committee (4), Screech Owl (3, 4). Pepsi-cola hits the spot, but Frank insists it’s Maydale. Very clever and very cynical, Frank’s chief interest is math. We hope his geometry helps him as he flies the skies for the Navy. Dorothy Fayton Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4), Field Hockey (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Women’s Club (2, 3, 4), Junior Women’s Club Play (2), Student Council (1), A. A. Social Committees (1, 3), General Committee (4). “Dot,” with her charming personality, has won the hearts of all her fellow classmates, and many others besides. She is very good in sports and enjoys the reputation of being a “good sport,” too. Frank Finizio Class gifts (4), General Committee (4), Football (3). Frank has ambitions to become a mechanic in the air force ground crew, and at the rate he is going down at Tannuzzo’s filling station, he’ll be a captain as soon as he enlists. Frank has a certain some one on Great Road, and it’s easy to explain to the gang that he’s going up to Erickson’s for ice cream. Richard Flaherty All Social Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Prom Committee (3), Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Baseball Captain (4), General Committee (4). Dick is going into the Marines after he graduates, and we know that he will be an outstanding “leatherneck.” He has shown his physical prowess by his performances on the gridiron and the base- ball diamond. A certain Junior girl is going to miss him, but we’ll try to make reparation.
