Eleanor Louise Adams El Address : 6 Poplar Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Radio dramas. Pet aversion : People saying ain’t. Ambition: Air hostess. Debating Club 1 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Basket¬ ball 3, 4. Even to the point of becoming somewhat confused at times, Eleanor-of-the-many coiffures was co-operative to the Nth degree and capably assisted us in our tasks. Violinda Catherine Allegrezza Yola Address: 16% Cedar Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Reading. Pet aversion : Poetry. Ambition: Nurse. We are reminded of the many new outfits which Yola wore from time to time—likewise of her spic-and-span appearance. We know of no reason why she should not meet with success in her chosen profession. Josephine Kathryn Antolini Jo Address : 134 South Main Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Listening to the radio. Pet aversion: Being disturbed while reading. Ambition : Secretary. Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 4. If any one wishes to know a good place to purchase a palatable scoop of ice cream, we refer him to the subject of this write-up. She hands us our best dessert with a smile ; that ' s why we like her. Anita Louise Arcudi Arcadoo Address: 141 Central Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Studying popu¬ lar songs. Pet aversion : Reading. Ambition: Traveling. What, no music? If such were the case Anita would not be hap¬ py. She was one of the first to introduce new points in the way to trip it on the light fantastic. There ' s nothing II Penseroso about her. Andrew Albert Bernardi Andy Address: 80 Prospect Heights. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : To see and read about famous people. Pet aversion : To stand before an audience. Ambition : Sailor. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 3 ; Basketball 3, 4. We doubt if we shall ever for¬ get Andy ' s Charlie McCarthy act. He doesn’t quite measure six feet, but he has a heart of gold and a personality worth cultivating— two splendid assets. Edith Elizabeth Bilsbury Address: Upper Congress Street. Course: Commercial. et preference : Arguing. Pet aversion : Disturbances while sewing. Ambition : Dress designer. Debating Club 1 ; Dance Com¬ mittee 3, 4; Theo-Harmon Club, Treasurer 3. Edith, no doubt, had a good reason for her nonchalant atti¬ tude about things in general. When she did attend classes, she contributed pleasantly to our school life. Angelina Carolyn Alberto Ann Address : 320 Main Street. Course : College. Pet preference: Classical music. Pet aversion : Jazz. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 2, 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Theo- Harmon Club, Vice-president 4. Ann appreciates and enjoys grand opera. Her refined tastes, pleasing appearance, pleasant dis¬ position, and intelligent point of view will continue to win her many friends. Rita Dolores Andreola Address : 2 East Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Dancing. Pet aversion : Being a critic. Ambition: Traveler. Her final triumph in distin¬ guishing the shorthand outlines of did and would is a sufficient proof that Rita will do her best to overcome any difficulties that beset her path. We congratulate her also on her excellent danc¬ ing. Douglas Rae Archibald Smoke Address: 10 Poplar Street. Course : College. Pet preference : Roller coasting. Pet aversion : Brushing rugs. Ambition : Industrial engineer. Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 3, 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4; Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 4. Whenever there was excite¬ ment in the air, Doug was on hand to add to the affair. In his own way he could imperson¬ ate to perfection—even the fac¬ ulty. Estley Melvin Benson Address: 8 Fountain Street. Course : Commercial. Pet preference : Sliding. Pet aversion : People acting sil¬ ly or foolishly. Ambition : Bookkeeper. A slow, plodding, shy type of individual is Benson. But he has a mighty fine point in his favor : he can keep a trust and merit the confidence placed in him. He never shirked and always did his best. Elbert Monroe Bethel Al Address: 23 Forest Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Tennis. Pet aversion : History. Ambition : Aviator. Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 3. He who says “Prove it!” is sure to find out. Al sure does, for he was never in doubt. He is interested in aviation, in ac¬ quiring a good French vocabu¬ lary, and in building strong friendships. Lillian Arleene Binks Lil Address : 27 Hartford Avenue, South Milford. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Swing music. Pet aversion : Dropping paper- filled books. Ambition: Hairdresser. Patience is a virtue, Lil, and you surely possess it. Just as we commented on El Adams’ inter¬ esting hair styles, so do we on yours. You have the right am¬ bition in mind. Keep to it; we ' re for you.

the exams weren’t that bad . . . Quite an¬ noyed he said, “What are you talking about?” . . . He hastily assured us that he wished only to sharpen his pencil before the bell rang . . . Was our face red! . . . Not so very long ago, a few of the Senior boys and girls went to town to enjoy the open house day which Boston University was conducting . . . They took in every¬ thing . . . even the tea and cakes which were offered at the girls’ dormitory . . . We have it from a very reliable source that one of the gentlemen of the party didn’t sweeten his tea because he didn’t know how to manipulate the prongs which were provided with the lump sugar ... We are pleased to print that Roy Cutter filled us with pride when his essay “ Wings Across America ” was awarded fifth prize in the state essay Air-Mail contest. Nice work Roy . . . and now, facing the future with confidence we bid farewell to our school and the lasting friendships which she fostered. . . . But still we ramble on. We often heard father and mother, brother and sister, principal and teacher say that the days spent in high school are about the best one could want. Sometimes, of course, we thought that they said that merely to have us apply ourselves more diligently to our lessons. There is no doubt but what they were happy. We seemed to be living in a little world of our own. We had our lead¬ ers, we had our followers; we had our romances, we had our quarrels; we had our Rebeccas; we had our Penrods; we had our own problems to solve and our own limitations to face. But we always had an understanding principal and faculty as our friends. As we reflect, we marvel at the patience which they demonstrated under many conditions. They have developed in us a love of the past and, we repeat, a feel¬ ing of confidence for the future. IN REVIEW President . Jacob Heitin Vice-President . Adelaide Piteo Secretary .

Kathryn Teresa Bird Birdie Address: 57 Congress Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Swimming. Pet aversion : Studying. Ambition: Technician. Debating Club 1 : Science Club 3, (Secretary 4) ; Garrick Club 3, 4; Dance Comm. 3, 4; French Club 4. “But, Katie, I-Oh, what ' s the use !”—This was the usual result obtained when we mentioned some subject to this doubting miss. ‘‘Quelle femme” is our fitting caption for her. George Willard Boyd, Jr. Putt Address: 3 Fountain Street. Course: Business. Pet preference : Swimming. Pet aversion : Oral topics. Ambition : Business executive. Basketball 3, 4. Putt, though rather quiet, ex¬ pended most of his talents upon the basketball floor, where he was as handy as a piece of lead pipe in a street brawl. Need we add more to complete Putt’s description ? Lillian Esther Bucchino Ace Address : 7 Taylor Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Remaining in bed. Pet aversion: To be awakened. Ambition : Secretary. Basketball 3, 4. Ting! Plung! What anoth¬ er ! Three guesses! Right the first time, it ' s Ace making anoth¬ er of her famous and frequent baskets. If you have the same success in finding a secretarial position as you had in finding the basket, your future is very optimistic. Evelyn Elaine Calabrese Evely Address: 16 Free Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Music. Pet aversion : Jazz. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Club 1 ; Dante Club 3; Garrick Club 3, 4; Theo- Harmon Club Treas. 4 ; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Would that we were all as musically gifted as Evelyn, whose talents have won her much praise, whose intelligence has earned her good marks ; whose charming per¬ sonality has brought her a wide circle of friends. Alice Barbara Canon Address: 60 South Bow Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference : Fating. Pet aversion: Waking in the morning. Ambition : Private secretary. Basketball 3. “Out of my way, out of my way!” No, it isn’t the mad Russian ; it’s Alice making her daily dash home for the noon¬ day meal. Incidentally, if ever you need an ancient salt or pep¬ per shaker, we refer you to Alice, collector deluxe. Anita Jane Casamassa Address: 19 Free Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Drawing. Pet aversion : Egotistical people. Ambition : Teacher. Debating Cl ub 1, Garrick Club 3, 4. Anita is quiet and shy but has a grand sense of humor. What’s more, she certainly knows how to blush. We didn ' t see much of her after one P. M. There must have been some outside interest. Are we right, Anita? Paul Harvey Boland Red Address: 3 Ilaven Street. Course: College. Pet preference : Chemistry. Pet aversion : Dictators. Ambition : Chemical engineer. Associate Editor, Oak, Lily, and Ivy: Milford High Association; Treas. 4 ; Science Club 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; French Club 4 ; Basketball 3, 4; Minstrel Show 3, (Interlocutor. 4). Shy. timid, and bedecked with a Boy Scout suit he first ap¬ peared. Brave, courteous and trustworthy he departed a highly- poised graduate. Florence Constance Bruno Address: 36 Main Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference ; Reading. Pet aversion ; Disturbances while reading. Ambition : Dancing teacher. Debating Club 1. Though you seldom speak, Florence, the words of wisdom that flow forth when you do, more than make up for your usual silence. Perhaps you are think¬ ing of Macbeth’s unhappy end or of your future dancing pupils, but why ponder? Florence Edna Butterworth Buff Address : 154 Congress Street. Course; Commercial. Pet preference: Friday night socials. Pet aversion ; Carrots. Ambition : Governmental secre- tary. , O L I Comm. 4 ; Debating Club 1 ; Basketball 3. 4 ; Minstrel Show 3, 4 ; Garrick Club 3 (Vice- pres. 4); Class Secretary 3, 4; Literary Club Treas. 4 ; French Club Secretary 4. Energetic, versatile, and ready for the future; that is Buff, our class secretary—a ready nominee for any responsible position. Francis Louis Calarese Cal Address : 10 Union Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Taking sylvan walks in summer. Pet aversion : Reading books. Ambition : Transport pilot. Dante 2. 3, 4 ; Treasurer 4. Although it is said that clothes do not make the man, in the case of Fran, this proverb is cast out the window. Here, however we pause to ponder over his pref¬ erence. Is there a dual signifi¬ cance? Frances Dorcas Carter Fran Address: 77 School Street. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Listening to re¬ cordings. Pet aversion : Hearing people say, “It don’t.” Ambition ; Medical secretary. O. L. I. Comm. 4 ; Debating Club 1 ; Ring Comm. 3 ; Garrick Club 3, 4 ; Basketball 3, 4. Beautiful but dumb does not apply to you. Frances. That keen mind under your blonde head will help you when you’re a secretary, just as it did when you were a student. Regina Annette Casasanta Reggie Address: 3 Hayward Field. Course: Commercial. Pet preference: Learning new songs. Pet. aversion : Reading. Ambition : Dancing teacher. Debating Club 1 : Orchestra 1, 2. 3, 4 ; Dance Comm. 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4. Reggie is one of our most popu¬ lar co-eds, whose diary, we think, records many a happy dance and party. Why, she even stole the heart of our best third baseman !
