Edward F. Searles High School 1937 ,( MARGUERITE CLAIRE COX We like your genial, pleasant air. Some people pan be good company and loads of fun without having a gift of gab. Claire, in her rather quiet way, is just such a person. Her very cordial greeting ev- ery morning is ample significance of her friendliness. May the world greet you just as cordially, Claire. HUGH ANTHONY CREGG, JR. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 Ay — and every inch a man. ' ' Meet Hugh, that amicable representative of the Hamp- shire Roads district. He was nicknamed Huge four years ago because of his diminutive size, and to this day he is Huge Cregg to all of us. Beating the tom-toms in the orchestra and playing baseball seem to be his favorite pastime.-. A higher institution beckons Creggie for fur- ther education and with him go the best wishes of the class who created his famous nickname. EDWARD [ ' ALL CYR Basketball 3 Traffic Squad 3, 4 Lieut. Cadets 3 Capt. Cadets 4 Football 3, 4 Life ' s tm, short for mn of us to icorry. Dollars to doughnuts, no one of us will clutch his parch- ment so proudly as will Eddie on Graduation Day. It was a break for the clans of 1937 to have Eddie, not only for his genuine friendship, but for his value in athletics as well. Just imagine our football team without its burly guard — in fact, just imagine M. H. S. without Eddies spontaneous grin. Continue to face life with a smile, Ed. SALVATORE DILAYORE Track 2, 3 Traffic Squad Librarian, Orehe.-tra 1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Play Hand 4 ■•.I litili nonsense now and then Is relished l ;i tin wisest men. Sal, the boy with the poetic name and musical inclina- tions is unanimously fleeted the most consistent cut-up in any clas?. Salvie is almost methodically invited to take a back seat as he creates the usual disturbance in French class. However, in doing so, Sal does not burn up the cin- der path with the alacrity which he employs on the track, where he is a human Yankee Clipper. We hope your status in life will be achieved with similar speed, Sal. IRENE VALENCIA DODA Basketball 4 Deserving of the name of pal. Coming to us in our Senior year, Irene started off with a bang by being an ardent football fan, a valuable basket- ball player and a general good -port. She has continued in gain i ' ricnils all year and we acclaim Dodie as a great classmate. We hope your attainments after graduation will be acquired as easily as your friends. Irene. 20

1937 Edward F. Searles High School LOUISE MARY CARMEN CHAMPY Perfect coolness and self-possession. Just as we have a Class Einstein and a Class Shark, so we have a Class Shorthand Wizard. Because of this and because of your sincerity and earnestness, we expect you to become one of two thing ' s, Louise: an able instructor of shorthand or senior stenographer to a business magnate. WILLIAM CHEPULIS, JR. Editor in chief Year Book Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 Ivy Orator Band 4 Class Play Traffic Squad 4 Blue and White Staff I came; I saw; I conquered. ' Chippie ' ; efficiency is well exemplified by the posi- tions of trust he has held throughout high school. These extra-curricular activities were not indulged in to the ex- tent that they superceded his school work, for Chippie has always been one of our most brilliant lights. On your toes, M. I. T. Here comes Chippie! OLGA ELIZABETH CHWACKY Class Day Committee Year Book Committee Senior Play Basketball Manager 4 With hair of gold like the morning sun We know that someday she ' ll be won. ' When we think of Olga, we immediately recall three incidents in her high school life. First, her marvelous portrayal of Hulda in our class play, second, her un- tiring efforts on behalf of the girls ' basketball team, and third, her constant appearance with a certain bright sen- ior boy. Olga ' s beautiful hair, calm manner, and immac- ulate appearance will be fondly remembered by the class of 1937. RONALD CLAMP An air-minded lad was he. This diminutive young man professes by speech and ac- tions that the only way to learn is to ask questions. Ron- nie also has an inclination to take thing-s apart to see what makes them tick. We guess that these two traits were instrumental in making Ronnie the skilled model airplane builder that he is. Happy landing, Ronnie, in the flight of life. ETHEL COOKSON Modest and simple and sweet. One cannot resist a second glance at dainty, demure Cookie. She is by far one of our sweetest girls, with her demure shyness and blonde attractiveness. Her en- gaging smile reflects a radiant personality and if she con- tinues to be as retiring and unobtrusive, we know Lady Luck will smile favorably on her in the future. 19

1937 Edward F. Searles High School DOROTHY ALICE DOERR Vice President 3 Year Book Committee Treasurer 4 Blue and White Staff 4 Class Prophet Cheer Leader 3 Various Committees Deeds are true proof of worth. Popular? Active? Likeable? Yes to all queries! These three terms sum up our Dottie to the ump-th degTee. There isn ' t even a close runner-up to Dottie ' s being our busiest student. Likewise her fun-loving nature and pleasing manner cause us to label her Popular and Likeable, indisputably. Without doubt your Nurses ' Handbook has told you the necessary qualifications of the ideal nurse. Believe you us, you ' ve got what it takes, Dot! HELEN DOLAN I ' ll be merry; I ' ll be free; I ' ll be sad for nobody. If Wrigley ' s ever goes out of business, don ' t blame Helen, for she is one of its most faithful patrons. Helen with her big 1 smile and laughing Irish eyes has certainly made the boys sit up and take notice. However, she is very intelligent in all that she undertakes and has con- tributed much to the support of our class with hei in- fectious giggle and merry chatter. It ' s a grand old world, isn ' t it, Helen? JOSEPHINE D ' ORTO Argument is the gift of nature. There is nothing more appreciated today than a bit of stiff, lively argument. Jo is one of those rare individ- uals with a mind of her own who refuses to be swayed by a more presumptuous person. This, with Jo ' s inclination to enliven dull moments with blunt rejoinders, gives her our vote of thanks. DORIS DUEMMLING Her appearance all who saw admired. Doris ' lovely blue eyes, pretty smile, and up-to-the- minute hair-do ' s were only a few of the features instru- mental in her being chosen Class Queen. If anyone ever looked like a model in a fashion shop, Doris fills the bid. We all realize that when Doris is around we must step back and take second place. We have great confidence in your proficiency as a dress designer, Doris. GEORGE EDWARDS At his work or at his play, He ' s quiet as a mouse we say. George is one of those souls who would sanction with R-usto the removal of the feminine race from the earth, or at least his own little world. He is an assiduous work- er with little time to devote to the frivolities of life. In snite of his serious traits, George enjoys life, and is a faithful supporter of our activities. We feel certain your scholastic endeavors will be accompanied by the same success as at High School. 21
