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.

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?

There is always a friendly greeting when you drop into Man- ning’s Pharmacy, for who is behind the soda fountain but a witty, genial girl with a sparkle all about her? Madelyn, known to her friends as “Midge,” intends to be a nurse. She will surely succeed with her delightful personality. Regina Hinds Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Reception Committee 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Picture Committee 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Social Committees 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Girls’ Chorus 4. ‘ Jean” was one of the silent girls of the class who suddenly blossomed forth in the last two years, full of spirit. She is an- other member of the Class of “45” to become an angel of mercy. I ll bet all her mercy will go to a certain Irishman. Dorothy Johnson Junior Women’s Club 1, 4; Dramatic Club 1; Senior Chorus 4; Home Room Artist 4. Tall, blond, sensational — that’s Dottie. She may be quiet in school, but she appears to be more talkative outside. Dottie is liked by the girls as well as the boys, which is indeed very rare. All in all, she is a nice person to know. Roland Johnson Student Secretary 4; Graduation Speaker 4. “Doc” is one of the quieter boys of our class, one who is in- dustrious and on the ball. Keep up the goo d work and you’ll be tops in the clerical world. Walter Johnson Class President 4; Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council Presi- dent 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Football 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Room President 4; Dramatic Club 4; Treasurer 4; Screech Owl 4; Band, 1, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Radio Club 1, 2; Gym Ex- hibition 2, 3; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Prom Committee; All Dance Committees 1, 2, 3, 4; Picture Committee 4; A. A. Social 3, 4; Senior Activities Committee 4; Graduation Honor Speaker 4. The president of our class is one of the most versatile boys to have passed through the portals of Maynard High in many a year. You’re okay, “Mike,” and with your various abilities you’ll go a long way in whatever field you choose.
