THE SCREECH OWL 29 Gladys Novicki Senior Girls’ Chorus 4. Gladys is one of the well-dressed girls of the class, and we’re sure she will be a success in whatever office she enters. Where there’s Stella, there’s Gladys! What’s so interesting in Acton? Could it be the dancing? Dorothy O’Toole Junior Women’s Club 1; Dramatic Club 1; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4. Dottie, who always has a ready smile for everyone, is a very friendly colleen. Dot thinks Watertown is a wonderful place, but then we know that Eddie has something to do with that. Dot plans to go to college, where we know her friendly disposition will win her new friends. Julia Palaima Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; Field Hockey Social Committee 1; Social Committee 4; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4; Senior Reception Committee 4; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Secretary 4; Graduation Speaker 4. Julia, one of the famous trio of Rose, Rita, and Julia, is always ready to come to your aid. One of the popular girls in the class, as you can see by the above activities, Julia keeps her love life secret, but don’t let Julia fool you — she’s a smart girl. Mary Paul Junior Women’s Club 4; Senior Chorus 4. Although Mary seems to be a bit on the quiet side in school, her many friends can testify that she is full of fun and enjoys a good time. At present she is mainly interested in “Wally” from Groton.

She plans to be a secretary and with her secretarial knowledge and friendly disposition, we know she’ll be a great success. At the present time she seems to be mortgaged to a certain senior named “Jim”.

28 THE SCREECH OWL Morgan Lydon “Muggsie” can be seen zooming around in his jalopy ’most any day, although he is more apt to be up around Garfield Street. His mechanical abilities are well-known around Murphy’s garage. He will be called into the Navy soon. Happy sailing, Morgie. Barbara Marchant Field Hockey 1; Junior Women’s Club 1; Senior Chorus 4; Student Secretary 4; Screech Owl 1, 2, 3, 4; Social Committees 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Picture Committee 4; Student Council 3, 4; Vice-President of Student Council 4; President of Home Room 4. Although Barb’s time is pretty well taken up with a certain Sam, this does not interfere with her school life. Whenever this little Miss is around, there’s never a dull moment. Barby’s laugh is well known in this school. Anthony Mariani Captain, Intra-mural Basketball 4; Football 4; Home Room Treas- urer 4; A. A. Social Committee 4. Tony showed everyone this past year he had a lot of hidden football ta’ent. From the first game to the last, he proved he was the type of material to make a great star on the gridiron. We are mighty proud of him and wish him good luck. Mary Moynihan Screech Owl 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Women’s Club 2, 3, 4; Graduation Usher 3; Senior Girls’ Chorus 4; Student Secretary 4; Senior Class Write-ups 4; Graduation Speaker 4. Whether it is college or a business career, we all know Mary will make a success of whatever she plans to do. Her pleasing personality, friendliness, and sense of humor make her popular with her school-mates. Nancy Novick Senior Girls’ Chorus 4; Student Secretary. Although Nancy is quite reserved in school, something tells us that she isn’t that quiet outside. We were going to mention some- body named H., but war was declared between them. Well, Nan, we hope peace comes very soon.

30 THE SCREECH OWL John Pieceiwicz Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3; A. A. Social Com- mittee 3, 4. Johnny is another of the boys who find their interests centered around Hudson. His unsung defensive football playing against “said town” was wonderful. Keep up the old fight, Johnny. Albert Poulson Senior Activities Committee 4; Basketball 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Radio Club 1, 2; Aviation Club 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Reception Committee 4; All Dance Committees 4; A. A. Social Committee 3, 4; Orchestra 1; Screech Owl 4. “Porkie” is one of the two Senior boys who can truthfully say they have soloed in an airplane. When not at the bakery scrubbing pans, Pork can be seen devouring hot fudge sundaes at Manning’s. A certain Freshman seems to think that he’s O.K., and so do we all. Evelyn Russo Field Hockey 1; Junior Women’s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Screech Owl 4; Dramatic Club 2, 4; Senior Chorus 4; Student Secretary 4; Student Council 1; Senior Activities Committee 4. Evelyn is as gay as a lark, and any laugh you hear in passing the Commercial Room is undoubtedly coming from “Evy.” Her friends report that she still has “Gobs of Love for the Navy” — at least for a certain lad named “Bunny.” Rita Schwenke Field Hockey 1, 2; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 4; Screech Owl 2, 3; Senior Chorus 4; Junior Women’s Club 1. Witty Rita is the life of any party. Nothing fazes her, and we hope this happy-go-lucky disposition will follow her after graduation. Robert Sironen “Fall in!” “Left face!” “Right face!” is what “Sis” hears, now that he has left us to join the A.S.T.R.P. and is now at Mass. State College learning how to be a good soldier. His ambition to be an aeronautical engineer will be vastly aided by his CAP background.
