THE SCREECH O X ' I. 17 Anne Chodnicky Screech Owl Club 3, 4; Assistant Editor 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Chorus 4; Girls’ Glee Club 4. Ann, the journalist? Ann, the actress? Which will it be? Judging from the many poems and stories she has written for our enjoyment and her stage performances, either choice would insure her success. Surely the school of journalism or dramatics will gain a valuable addition in clever Anne. Mary Cutaia Senior Chorus 4. Courteous Mary is the quietest girl in our class. Any study period will find her bent over her studies, drinking in all the knowledge possible. Hard work pays big dividends, Mary, and you will do all right for yourself. Helen D’Amico Social Committee 4; Screech Owl 4; Senior Choiais 4, Whenever you hear a contagious giggle running up and down the scale, you’ll know this tiny bit of humanity (?) is around. Her favorite pastime in school is making up excuses and alibis, and outside of school she spends her afternoons causing all the “shrinkage” at J. J’s. Mice’s keen sense of humor and friend- liness make her so well liked by all. Jennie Denisewich Class Secretary 2; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Jr. Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Sunlight Hop Committees 4; Screech Owl 4; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4. Jennie is a quiet, unobstrusive young lady whose very silence carries weight. Jennie’s going to be a Cadet Nurse, and we’re sure that this is one uniform the boys will really enjoy whist- ling at. Eleanor Dimery Dramatic Club 1, 2; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Art Club 1; Field Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2; Cheerleader 1, 2, 3; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4; Freshman-Sophomore Social 2; Class Secretary 3; All Social Committees 3; Ring Committee 3; Junior Prom Com- mittee 3; Senior Autumn Social 4; Student Council (Secretary) 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. “Dim,” as she is known to her friends, is one of the more quiet (?) members of our Senior clan. In the future she will undoubtedly cheer the patients at St. Elizabeth’s as much as she has the customers at Manning’s Pharmacy.

16 THE SCREECH O W ' L SIEPS IIOIR CLASS IRC ILL Constance Ayotte Dramatic Club 1; Nature Club 1; Senior Chorus 4. Inquisitive and loquacious, “Connie” is one of the best liked girls in the class. Her friendly manner and winning smile are sure to give her a good start along the road to fortune and success. Although she is mysterious about her outside activities, we have learned that bowling and roller-skating are among her favorite pastimes. We wonder if they are her only diversions. Hm? Claire Beford Class Secretary 4; Social Committee 4; Picture Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Senior Activities Committee 4. Clairebell is Peoples Theatre’s pretty cashier, whose wit and smile help boost the ticket sales. Efficient and polite, she has won many friends. Clairebell takes life as it comes and is doing all right. We hope you always find it easy-going. Thelma Bourne Screech Owl 1; Jr. Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Sun Light Hop Committee 4; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4. Whenever any artistic ability is required, we have been for- tunate to have stately Thelma in our midst, always ready to oblige with the paint and brush. No wonder our social affairs have been such successes. Keep up the work and we’ll surely be hearing more of you. Alice Brown Class Vice President 1; Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2; Field Hockey Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Cap- tain 2; Cheer Leader 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Screech Owl 1, 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4. “Here come the Marines,” and oh, how Alice would like to be in their ranks! But until she adds a few more years on to her present 17, she will have to be satisfied with the life of a secre- tary. A friend to all and what a lovely friend! May that which you desire be yours someday soon. Jennie Chernak Dramatic Club 1; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl 4. With such a pleasing personality and unusual ability, Jen will be tops in secretarial work. She hopes to enter business school in the fall. Jen’s sincere smile and twinkling eyes will brighten any office and help promote good business.

18 THE SCREECH 0 i ' L Joseph Dutkowski Social Committee 3, 4; Basketball 1, 4; Dramatic Club 1; Craft Club 1, 2, 3; 4-H Club 1; Track 2; Hobby Nobby Club 1; Gym Exhibition 3; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl Staff 4. Joe’s one of the easiest kids in the senior class to get along with, and his witty sayings will be long remembered. He is one of our sportsmen and is very much interested in guns. Joe’s going into the Navy. Joe is also one of our home defenders over in Acton. During the summer he can be seen whizzing around the floor up at Lake Boone. Keep rolling, Dut. Shirley Garlick Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus 4. Since Shirley is the mystery woman of the Senior Class, little can be said about her, but the bit that is known is favorable. The quality of her lunches is well-known, and not many senior boys can deny that the reason they hurry to a certain room in M. H. S. at recess is to enjoy a sandwich. Her ability in the classrooms (especially in chemistry) could easily make her a career woman, but for the distracting existence of a certain friend “Nickie.” Helen Girdziewski Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 1; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of the Second Team 3; Basketball 1, 2; Senior Chorus 4; Junior Women’s Club 3, 4; Screech Owl, Blond and blushing, — yet spirited, that’s Helen. Wouldn’t we all like to waltz around the floor with this smooth dancer! Her immediate ambition is to become a secretary. What a lovely decoration she’ll make for any office! What a lovely secretary she’ll make for any boss! Natalie Goodwin Social Committee 4; Student Council 4; Student Council Social Committee 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Senior Chorus 4; Screech Owl 4. What’s behind those sparkling brown eyes? Friendliness, sweetness, and certainly ability. All who know Nat have come under the spell of those dark eyes and that pleasing personality. Lucky be the boss who holds her to a contract. Maxwell Gruber All Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Co-captain 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1; Senior Activities Committee 4; Screech Owl 1; Aviation Club 2; Senior Hops 4; Senior Chorus 4; Athletic Association Tag Day 2; Athletic Association Dance Com- mittees 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Ring Committee 3; Gym exhibition 4; Track Manager 2. Athletic, sociable, polite, and cooperative, those are the adjectives that best describe “Maxie.” He will undoubtedly make a fine midshipman at the Massachusetts Naval Academy, where he plans to go.
