24 THE SCREECH OWL Roger Compton Intra-Mural Basketball 3; Senior Activities Committee 4; Gradua- tion Speaker 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; Dance Committees 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Recep- tion Committee 4; Picture Committee 4; Track 1. Roger is well known for his ability in writing and acting out amusing assembly programs. Someone on Brooks Street thinks he will make a fine lawyer, and so do we all. His immediate interest is the Navy’s Radar Course, in which he is enlisted. He will al- ways be remembered for his intelligence as well as his crazy antics, which have kept us laughing for four years. Albert Crowley Ever since he entered M. H. S. A1 has been a leader of his class and the foremost gridiron favorite in the past four years. We all have great respect for Al, and we know he’s tops in the Army also. When he comes back we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a certain Sophomore girl waiting for him. Rose D’Agata Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Screech Owl 2; Student Secretary 4. Whenever a giggle rings across the hall, you can be sure it belongs to Rose. This pretty brunette is another of the popular girls. Ask Paul ! Ronald Dawson “Ronnie” is a boy who will study when he finds something he likes to do. He is now in the Coast Guard planning for a career as a mechanic. We will not forget his talent tor wise “cracKS.” Yolanda DiGrappa Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Screech Owl 2; Senior Chorus. Si Si, it is tall, dark, and attractive Senorita DiGrappa. With Yolanda as a Spanish teacher, there will be a great increase in the male Spanish-speaking population of the future. By the way, who gave her six pairs of silk stockings for her birthday?

THE SCREECH OWL 23 Donald Bemis Radio Club 1, 2; Aviation Club 2; Senior Prom Committee 4; Social Committee 4. Don’s that cheery fellow at Johnson’s Pharmacy who keeps you going there. He is well liked by his classmates and always seems to be on the sunny side of life. Olga Bobritsky Basketball 1, 2; Student Council 2; Senior Chorus 4; Student Secretary 4. Jolly, good-natured Olga, with a smile for everyone, is one of the nicest girls in the Senior Class. Pretty soon Olga will enter the business world, and if she progresses as fast in her work as she does in school, we know she will make good. Rita Boothroyd Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary 2, 4; Picture Commit- tee 4; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Prom Committee; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hon- orary Member of Maynard Women’s Club; Usher at Graduation 3; Senior Chorus; Student Secretary 4. Rita, tall and attractive, is one of the most popular girls in the class. As a secretary, she will be an asset to any office. No matter what direction she takes, right or “Lefty,” she will find many friends. Ethel Burgess Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club Vice President 4, Senior Chorus 4. Ethel is one of the friendliest girls in the class. We know she will be a wonderful nurse and will sing many patients to sleep with her lovely voice — but Joe, don’t break your leg on purpose. Arthur Carbary Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Screech Owl 2, 3, 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Picture Committee 4; A. A. Social Committee 4; Class Social Committees 1, 3, 4. • Oh, would you like to swing on a star? If you would, ask our sky pilot, Fifi, how. Fill’s certainly our hero, zooming through the heavens while we earthbound creatures look up at him with ad- miration. He and his pal, Pork, are of those choice few who have a real pilot’s license.

THE SCREECH OWL 25 Louise Dwinell Screech Owl 1, 2, 4; Art Editor of Screech Owl 4; Cheer Leader 4; Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Picture Com- mittee 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Chorus; Home Room Artist 4; Class Gifts 4. Number please? As you lift the receiver, you will hear the pleasant voice of pretty Louise. What line keeps Snookie the busier, Fitchburg or Hudson? Josephine Ferrera Art 1, 2; Music 1, 2, 3, 4; Field Hockey 1; Junior Women’s Club 4. “Jo” is the cheerful, witty member of the Commercial Depart- ment who keeps it bright and gay. She wants to obtain a secretarial position where there are “lots of people,” especially in a hospital. I wonder why? Ann Flaherty Class Vice President 1; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club Secretary 2, 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Social Committtees 1, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Captain 1, 3; Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4. Well-dressed, gracious, and friendly describe Ann to a “T”. She has not decided whether to enter the halls of higher learning or make a career of dramatics. Whichever it is, she’s bound to make good. No dashing in the door at the last minute, though, Ann. Barbara Gibney Social Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Prom Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Picture Committee 4; Class Secretary 1, Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3; Class Night Speaker 4; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4; Student Secretary 4; Class Will 4. Blonde, pretty, and spirited, “Gib” is one of the popular girls of the class, especially with a certain tall “Soph.” She has not yet decided whether to become a nurse or a secretary, but we’re betting on the latter. Rose Hansen Class Vice-President 2, 3, 4; FieM Hockey 1, 2; Captain of Second Team 3; Captain 4; Vice-President of Dramatic Club 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Picture Committee 4; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Senior Reception Committee; Social Committees 2, 3, 4; Senior Chorus; Basketball 1; Secretary of Home Room 4. Full of joie de vivre (pep, to you), Rosie has been one of the busy girls at M. H. S. She is going to answer the call for “more nurses.” But remember, Rose, you can’t sit in the grand stand at Alumni Field and watch your patients at the same time.
